[00:01] <Gary_Host> YAY! I think it finally worked
[00:01] <linuxd> how to get satellite card driver?
[00:01] <Gary_Host> is this the correct place for Ubuntu 14.04 help?
[00:02] <Gary_Host> for some reason
[00:02] <Gary_Host> I cant turn on my bluetooth
[00:02] <daftykins> it is, though it'd be nice if you'd type on one line
[00:02] <daftykins> !details
[00:03] <Gary_Host> okay sorry bout' that. I try to acess it through system settings, and i am unable to click the on/off button. i tried an rfkill command but that hast worked
[00:08] <ahmadsu> xangua: the problem only appeared on unity, I also have cinnamon installed.. No problem at all on cinnamon
[00:09] <catacost> I'm trying to access my gnome-keyring via an ssh session. I can't seem to, has anyone here done so before?
[00:09] <sgen_> is there  a naming convention for environment variables?
[00:09] <Gary_Host> I was wondering if anyone was able to assist me in getting my bluetooth working. I cannot click the on/off button in system settings hence i am unable to "seach for devices." logging in to SU doesn't work and an rfkill enable bluetooth command line doesnt work
[00:21] <Rapture> my logrotate rotates apache logs about 10 - 20 minutes late everyday. Any suggestions on getting it to rotate closer to the time it's scheduled? (midnight)
[00:21] <Rapture> could it be because of the log size? ~120M after they are compressed
[00:22] <Demon_Jester> Hey guys is there a way I can assign wifi card to wlan2 instead of wlan1? or does there have to be wifi card hooked in taking wlan1 spot?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> Demon_Jester: you can use udev rules
[00:29] <Demon_Jester> yep found it on askubuntu thanks!
[00:36] <drasica22> I'm tryint to install the development version oflibprotobuf-dev and protobuf-c-dev
[00:36] <drasica22> I added the vivid sources to my apt sources list like so: deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu vivid main restricted universe multiverse
[00:37] <drasica22> but when I try to run 'sudo apt-get -b source -t vivid protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-dev', I get this error: E: The value 'vivid' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
[00:41] <soomro786> how can i create a new SDA after SDA5? - when i try using fdisk to, it says value out of range
[00:41] <soomro786> trying to expand LUKS
[00:41] <soomro786> so im following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726724
[00:43] <daftykins> soomro786: likely you already have one logical drive in an extended partition, so you need to delete the contents and recreate or some such. show some partition layout info for more help
[00:43] <redban> how to rejar file (make it .jar)
[00:43] <daftykins> soomro786: "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[00:43] <daftykins> redban: ask in a java channel
[00:43] <redban> argggghhhh
[00:43] <daftykins> this is not a development channel.
[00:43] <redban> someone must know the command
[00:43] <redban> c'mmon
[00:43] <daftykins> yes, java developers! go there!
[00:44] <redban> i don't remember it : jar cvfm file or something?
[00:44] <redban> it says #java is invite only
[00:46] <redban> what a useless channel!
[00:47] <daftykins> redban: yeah, that's because it'll be ##java
[00:47] <daftykins> redban: "man jar" ?
[00:48] <EuaD> is it critical to be running iptables rules on a remote linode server?
[00:48] <daftykins> EuaD: they're your provider, ask them for their advice :)
[00:49] <EuaD> doubt they provide support like that for free accounts.
[00:49] <EuaD> in fact i'm just asking if i have a WAN facing server, is it critical to be running iptables rules in general
[00:49] <daftykins> didn't know they offered anything for free. ho-hum
[00:49] <EuaD> 14 days yes
[00:50] <daftykins> yes, i know you are
[00:50] <EuaD> Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz, 250GB, 1GB RAM, 2000GB/month bandwidth
[00:52] <soomro786> daftykins: heres my fdisk output http://paste.ubuntu.com/9434366/
[00:52] <EuaD> so the verdict is stil out?  iptables rules or no on a WAN facing server running apache, nginx, teamspeak, mumble, minecraft
[00:52] <daftykins> soomro786: so you need to resize sda5 to make an sda6
[00:52] <daftykins> EuaD: it'd be more relevant in #ubuntu-server
[00:53] <soomro786> daftykins: i have data on it will that get tampered?
[00:53] <daftykins> soomro786: that's alright, your backups will take care of any concerns there
[00:55] <soomro786> ok
[00:56] <EuaD> daftykins, thanks
[00:57] <catacost> I'm trying to query my email password via gnome-keyring over ssh but I can't seem to access it. It works fine when logged into the desktop on the host. Any tips?
[00:57] <devilspgd> EuaD: The answer is "it depends", if the iptables rules you're going to write just allow all traffic from anywhere to the same ports you're already opened, well, they're not doing much.
[00:57] <teward> EuaD: i'd set up rules on that, yes - locked down as much as you can by source IPs, but I"m a little paranoid
[00:57] <devilspgd> EuaD: BUT, you are protecting yourself against configuration errors where you open up something to the world that wasn't intentional.
[00:58] <Foxhoundz> n[p0
[00:58] <devilspgd> EuaD: So I'd use iptables just to limit exposure.
[01:00] <EuaD> makes sense, thanks guys
[01:01] <gour> some times when i switch on the computer it shows unable to munt the other volume in hdd
[01:01] <gour> mount
[01:02] <gour> and restart require
[01:04] <gour> what  to do
[01:06] <EuaD> devilspgd, not intentional? all those services to the best of my knoweldge are meant to be run open to the world unless i'm not understanding your statement
[01:07] <devilspgd> EuaD: Right. I guess my point is that if the iptables rules you're going to write just say "Allow all traffic to a list of ports, reject everything else" and if you only have those ports open, and everything else is closed, the results are the same whether you remember to load your iptables rules or not.
[01:08] <EuaD> devilspgd, oh that i understand. i'll lock it down with ufw or iptables to only allow traffic on specific ports.
[01:09] <devilspgd> Sure, but if those are the only ports that happen to be open, the end results are the same.
[01:09] <devilspgd> But say you didn't intend to open MySQL to the world, and in a week you accidentally bind it to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1, well, having iptables already set up might save you some hurt.
[01:09] <devilspgd> So it's good form to have it enabled, definitely.
[01:10] <EuaD> devilspgd, i think you just confused me more. lol   im going to lock down my server completely by reject/drop all traffic to ports besides the specific ports that my services are running on. is that correct?
[01:10] <dts|pokeball> hey guys... ive installed libbluray and vlc, but i cant play my bluray. any help? http://i.imgur.com/sMOsl3W.png
[01:11] <devilspgd> Yup, that's correct.
[01:11] <OerHeks> dts|pokeball, not all blueray discs will play
[01:11] <devilspgd> But even without iptables, traffic sent to ports that aren't opened by something will just get rejected anyway.
[01:11] <dts|pokeball> OerHeks, how can i tell if it will play or not/
[01:11] <daftykins> dts|pokeball: luck
[01:12] <dts|pokeball> if it doesnt work on linux can it work better on windows?
[01:12] <OerHeks> dts|pokeball, there is no list
[01:12] <dts|pokeball> :/
[01:12] <daftykins> dts|pokeball: err, well given as you can get proper players for BD on Windows... obviously yes.
[01:13] <dts|pokeball> i didnt know that
[01:15] <OerHeks> dts|pokeball, official doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD you might want to check this page too, for new keys

[01:36] <princedastain> bro bro, i have install ubuntu 14.10 after that install KDE, how to completely remove unity inside it?
[01:37] <princedastain> iam googling before, but have not found yet a solution
[01:37] <OerHeks> there is a !purekde factoid, but out of date
[01:37] <OerHeks> !purekde
[01:38] <princedastain> oke
[01:38] <princedastain> i will read it first
[01:38] <freeroute> so suppose I want to compile tmux on 12.04, do I first have to remove tmux which was installed using apt?
[01:38] <princedastain> Thx mr OerHeks and ubottu
[01:39] <OerHeks> freeroute, yes, and use purge to remove config files
[01:39] <freeroute> OerHeks: you mean config files present in my ~/ ?
[01:39] <OerHeks> * if any
[01:40] <freeroute> hmm, k. I'll make backups then in that case
[01:41] <princedastain> Mr. ubottu, i have read and run the command like the tutorial
[01:42] <princedastain> but it seems now have different package name
[01:43] <princedastain> this is i show the result here
[01:43] <princedastain> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9434843/
[01:43] <EuaD> devilspgd, teward daftykins thanks for all your help guts
[01:43] <princedastain> so i ask again, maybe another have solution to completely remove unity gnome to be just KDE desktop
[01:44] <EuaD> devilspgd, teward daftykins *guys
[01:44] <daftykins> princedastain: if you were a little clever with "dpkg -l | grep <thing to search for>" you can find the new names.
[01:44] <EuaD> princedastain, google psychocats pure kubuntu. i think that's what you want
[01:45] <OerHeks> princedastain, looks like you have no gnome/unity at all?
[01:53] <princedastain> oke, daftykins, EuaD and OerHeks i found the solution here http://askubuntu.com/questions/509478/remove-ubuntu-desktop
[01:53] <princedastain> thx aniway
[01:53] <Loshki> princedastain: unless you're very short on disk space, why does it matter?
[02:02] <princedastain> Loshki, i just want KDE on my ubuntu right now even not much change looks for years... its about taste :)
[02:05] <freeroute> so I have a question about apt build-dep flag. It supposedly satisfies dependencies for source based installs, but don't binary packages also require those dependencies? Or are those dependencies already compiled into the binary when you're just installing from the package manager?
[02:07] <cos5000> I'm using 14.04 LTS and I'd like to prevent deluge from running at boot. It doesn't show up in the startup applications, even if I do this: sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop  Deluge doesn't appear to have an option to change this behavior in its preferences, either. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
[02:08] <trism> freeroute: grab a package with: apt-get source packagename; and look at the debian/control file, you'll see the difference (compare with say, apt-cache depends packagename;)
[02:08] <freeroute> didn't even know I could get only the source package haha
[02:09] <freeroute> oh crap it installed without asking me
[02:09] <freeroute> wtf
[02:10] <freeroute> bad apt-get!
[02:10] <trism> freeroute: it doesn't install, it downloads and unpacks the package to the current directory
[02:10] <trism> freeroute: hence the lack of sudo
[02:11] <freeroute> ah I see
[02:14] <Tom84> hi
[02:14] <daftykins> hi.
[02:14] <Tom84> What is the point of IRC?
[02:15] <freeroute> what is the point of life?
[02:15] <Tom84> I'm not really sure
[02:18] <explodes> Hey. You know youtube-dl? Is there a way to download tracks that a soundcloud user "likes"
[02:19] <Tom84> oh
[02:19] <freeroute> trism: so what's this debian/control file you're referring to? I did 'apt-get source tmux' inside a dir I made and it downloaded and extracted a subdir with a bunch of .c files
[02:20] <freeroute> explodes: not sure, but if you know the link and that link is a list you can usually youtube-dl that. Just as say I go to a user's soundcloud link and that user has a bunch of tracks he made, I can simple do 'youtube-dl "www.soundcloud.com/userprofile"' and then it downloads all tracks from that user.
[02:21] <freeroute> but be sure to upgrade your youtube-dl to support feature
[02:21] <freeroute> *more features
[02:21] <trism> freeroute: the apt-get source tmux will download and unpack a directory tmux-version-something, in that directory there will be a debian directory, and a file name control in there. that's where the build-deps are specified
[02:22] <explodes> freeroute: that is tracks that the user published, not the one's they liked
[02:23] <freeroute> trism: ah... so that's the info I see when I do 'aptitude show tmux'. Cool :)
[02:24] <freeroute> explodes: true, but if soundcloud has a link to the tracks that the user liked, you could potentially use that
[02:24] <trism> freeroute: don't see any build-deps there, just deps
[02:24] <explodes> freeroute: if i parse the webpage myself; i'm just hoping there was a way to have youtube-dl do it.
[02:27] <trism> freeroute: it deps on libevent-2.0-5, libtinfo5, those are required to run the binary, it build deps on libncurses5-dev, libevent-dev which have the headers and such to build the binary
[02:27] <trism> freeroute: plus some other build tools like pkg-config
[02:27] <freeroute> trism: this is what I get - http://ubuntu.kpaste.net/c86
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[02:28] <daftykins> o/
[02:29] <Darknet> hello, so here is the thing, i love cPanel, but its too expensive for me to use on my 5$ a month vps from digitalocean. and i think webmin is too complicated to use (i can't manage to setup emails on the vps with wembin) I was wondering, is there any other free panels for managing your VPS? that are good?
[02:29] <Darknet> f.y.i. i am not a real pro at command-line without specific guides.
[02:29] <freeroute> trism: so are those deps then compiled into the binary I install when I choose to 'sudo aptitude install tmux' ?
[02:30] <trism> freeroute: sometimes they might be, in this case the lib packages are added as deps of the binary package
[02:31] <soomro786> im trying to resize my LUKs and when i do cryptsetup resize sda5_crypt it says device not active
[02:31] <soomro786> what am i doing wrong
[02:32] <freeroute> trism: hmm, that's interesting, so if those lib packages are already added as deps... then why does 'sudo aptitude build-dep tmux' still asks me if I want to download those libs?
[02:33] <trism> freeroute: because the -dev packages dep on them
[02:33] <Xypher> hello
[02:33] <Xypher> I need help
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> !ask | Xypher
[02:33] <trism> freeroute: since the lib packages actually contain the shared libs, the -dev packages usually just have header files and sym links to the libs
[02:34] <lotuspsychje> Darknet: this might be interesting: http://askubuntu.com/questions/333529/what-server-control-panels-are-available-for-ubuntu-server
[02:34] <Darknet> thank you lotuspsychje
[02:35] <Darknet> i will go read on that right now. :)
[02:35] <trism> freeroute: sometimes static libs too
[02:35] <Xypher> What is the program to conver rpm to deb format?
[02:36] <holstein> Xypher: alien?
[02:36] <durt> Xypher, alien I believe.
[02:36] <lotuspsychje> Xypher: wich program can't you find as deb?
[02:36] <Xypher> Alien? I will check that out. Thanks
[02:37] <lotuspsychje> !info alien | Xypher tnx to holstein and durt
[02:37] <holstein> Xypher: why? what are you looking for? i would never use alien but as a last resort
[02:37] <freeroute> trism: ah ok, so the binary then just contains links to those libs (which are then placed somewhere in the system), and build-dep command just downloads those libs just like apt-get source downloads the source into the current dir.
[02:38] <explodes> freeroute: you can if your URL is soundcloud.com/user/freeroute/likes :3
[02:38] <trism> freeroute: indeed
[02:38] <freeroute> explodes: ah nice, just as I predicted :p
[02:40] <freeroute> trism: cool, ty :)
[02:40] <gem_cat> I am trying to recover the pw on a system I havent used for a while - how do I mount the fs using a passphrase so I can reset the password or am i all wrong about that approach
[02:40] <holstein> gem_cat: encryption passphrase is lost? or password?
[02:40] <lotuspsychje> !password | gem_cat
[02:41] <gem_cat> have the encryption passphrase only
[02:41] <holstein> http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/
[02:41] <explodes> trism: actually, it isn't working, do you know what i'm missing here?
[02:41] <explodes> trism: I get a 404
[02:45] <gem_cat> holstein, I tried this but was unsuccessful because my hd was mounted read only
[02:45] <holstein> gem_cat: i would read it, then, and copy it..
[02:45] <holstein> gem_cat: i would be backing that data up, from there, and reinstalling.. personally
[02:46] <holstein> a backup would be made, regardless, and that point, if i had none
[02:47] <gem_cat> yes it is just  backing up the data I need to do - awkward to forget a password but i got the crs
[02:48] <explodes> I know my URL matches against the regex of the soundcloud user extractor :I
[02:48] <gem_cat> so is it possible to copy the encryped data and then decrypt it later when I have  reinstalled linux
[02:48] <freeroute> explodes: are you using the latest youtube-dl?
[02:49] <explodes> the latest for ubuntu at least
[02:49] <explodes> i installed it through apt
[02:49] <somsip> !info youtube-dl
[02:50] <explodes> oh shit, the latest on github is WAY newer
[02:50] <freeroute> explodes: youtube-dl maintains its own update mechanism
[02:50] <freeroute> :)
[02:50] <somsip> explodes: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html shows a current version of 2014.12.06.1 Although using apt is the recommended way to install, this script does develop quite quickly
[02:51] <gem_cat> thanks holstein, i will figure it out eventually
[02:52] <freeroute> explodes: do 'youtube-dl -U' in order to upgrade it
[02:53] <deathstash> damn, nobody in here
[02:54] <lotuspsychje> deathstash: 1700 users are
[02:54] <LinuxGold> maybe not
[02:54] <explodes> word up, freeroute somsip trism: the latest and greatest works wonderfully
[02:54] <deathstash> nvm my irc client was messing up
[02:55] <Tom84> if you type CTRL+L in a terminal it will clear it
[02:55] <Tom84> most people here probably know that though
[02:56] <Sunstream> All of a sudden in lubuntu my icons shrank in size after the font reader crashed how do I restore them to their origonal sizes?
[02:56] <holstein> Sunstream: i just reset my configs to do that
[02:56] <lotuspsychje> Sunstream: maybe the #lubuntu guys might also know this
[02:57] <Sunstream> ...
[02:57] <freeroute> Tom84: you'd be surprised how many don't. I've heard admins with 12+ years of experience who didn't, but that's the beauty of the commandline. Even after many years of use you still come across nifty little features :)
[02:58] <lotuspsychje> freeroute: very true, so many ways to flavor a terminal :p
[02:58] <freeroute> trism: strange, 'sudo aptitude build-dep tmux' didn't download those libs to my working dir.
[02:59] <trism> freeroute: nope, only apt-get source, build-dep installs the packages
[02:59] <freeroute> trism: but I thought those libs were already installed when the binary was installed :S
[03:01] <trism> freeroute: the libs sure, not the -dev packages
[03:02] <freeroute> ah, ok so -dev packages are required for compiling and are not installed by default when installing from apt?
[03:02] <lotuspsychje> can't apt-get download help in any way?
[03:03] <freeroute> does that download the package only?
[03:03] <trism> freeroute: oh I see your point, the build-dep is also getting -core -extra etc for libevent but they aren't deps of tmux, maybe those are extra stuff tmux doesn't use
[03:03] <lotuspsychje> freeroute: well ive used it to get the .deb, not sure if it has other features
[03:05] <wbill> is there an easy way to get a virtual terminal window to have more than 1 tab open when i start it in ubuntu? comman line or other?
[03:05] <noslen_> hi guys
[03:06] <lotuspsychje> noslen_: welcome
[03:06] <noslen_> thanks
[03:06] <trism> freeroute: ahh, apt-cache show libevent-2.0-5 explains it: For backward compatibility and to transition to "libevent_core only" or "libevent_core + libevent_extra", the libevent source package builds the libevent library that includes everything
[03:06] <wbill> anyone?
[03:06]  * UTL waves to other Ubuntu lovers.
[03:06] <holstein> wbill: http://askubuntu.com/questions/277543/opening-multiple-tabs-with-gnome-terminal
[03:06] <lotuspsychje> wbill: you want a terminal to jump open with multiple tabs on desktop start?
[03:07] <trism> freeroute: so yeah, tmux just uses both, so that's why you get those extra libs
[03:07] <wbill> yupper
[03:07] <trism> freeroute: and yes you are right, -dev packages are separate because most people won't need them
[03:08] <Sunstream> The answer my friends, was in the "View" menu I clicked on normal size and back
[03:09] <lotuspsychje> !yay | Sunstream
[03:09] <Sunstream> some how it got clicked to smaller even though I didnt touch it.... stupid bugs lol
[03:09] <Fun> hi
[03:10] <freeroute> trism: ah, hopefully my tmux will compile now without my laptop exploding into tiny bits
[03:10] <Fun> how I can install php zlib?
[03:10] <Fun> whats the pack name?>
[03:10] <freeroute> Fun: apt-cache search php

[03:11] <Fun> php
[03:13] <Baube> hey guys, I'm trying to install dual boot linux on my Windows HD. I've got a 750Go HD and I have 3 NTFS partitions which I see when I boot "Live Ubuntu" but when I'm trying to install I only see sda1 750Go. Don't want to wipe my Windows :/ Is there something I can do from Live Linux to make my 3rd partition visibile during the install ?

[03:13] <Crell> Evein', folks.  I am trying to install apache2 in a 14.04 vagrant box.  Every time I run apt, though, I get an error.  Specifically: apt-get install apache2 [gives output]: error setting ownership of `/var/www/html.dpkg-new': Operation not permitted
[03:13] <WyZeGuY> opinions? running windows on this drive, so truecrypt, freeotfe, or something else?
[03:13] <Crell> I am running the command with sudo, so that's not the problem.
[03:14] <Crell> This vagrant box has setup properly for me before on another system, so I'm assuming there's some local config issue.
[03:14] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | Baube
[03:15] <lotuspsychje> Crell: did you sudo apt-get?
[03:15] <Crell> Yes, I just said I am using sudo.
[03:16] <lotuspsychje> Crell: you logged in the main user?
[03:16] <Crell> I am logged in as "vagrant" and using sudo from there.
[03:17] <Crell> Full output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9435739/
[03:19] <lotuspsychje> Crell: maybe the #httpd guys might also know this issue?
[03:19] <Crell> Based on past experience they'll send me here as soon as they hear the word "deb".
[03:23] <lotuspsychje> !info apache2
[03:24] <lotuspsychje> !info apache2 trusty
[03:25] <lotuspsychje> Crell: im reading a bug, that this problem was fixxed in 2.4.10
[03:25] <Crell> Hm.
[03:25] <Crell> And this same vagrant setup has been working for months on my Mac at work.
[03:26] <Crell> (The provisioning is just a make file, nothing fancy.)
[03:26] <lotuspsychje> Crell: also on trusty?
[03:27] <Crell> Yes, same 14.04 base image.  (I don't know what the names are these days.)
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> yep
[03:27] <lotuspsychje> thats weird indeed
[03:27] <Crell> I agree. :-)
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> Crell: was this a clean 14.04 or upgrade from other version?
[03:28] <lotuspsychje> Crell: i mean no leftovers from previous apache installs?
[03:28] <Crell> Clean I believe; the base image is a publicly available one intended for use with Chef (which we're not using) so I assume it's clean.
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> kk
[03:29] <Crell> Nope.  I started a fresh vagrant up an hour ago.  Twice.
[03:29] <lotuspsychje> Crell: well you could try that apache 2.4.10 maybe, see what it does
[03:30] <Fun> how many lines of code ubuntu got?
[03:30] <Fun> wonders
[03:30] <Fun> I want to know if one person were to write linux ubuntu from 0 how many years it would take
[03:30] <Fun> :)
[03:30] <Fun> maybe 10?
[03:30] <Crell> You're missing a few 0s.
[03:32] <freeroute> brb, compiling tmux

[03:32] <tyr> red5 seems does not update since 2013?
[03:33] <Crell> lotuspsychje: Hm.  "This does not look like a tar archive."
[03:33] <Crell> A clue, Sherlock?
[03:33] <tyr> since 2012
[03:33] <lotuspsychje> Crell: this the bug i found: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/1312533
[03:33]  * Crell scratches his head.
[03:35]  * WyZeGuY scratches Crell's head, too.
[03:35] <Crell> I'd rather you scratched my back.  I've an itch right behind the shoulder blade.
[03:35] <lotuspsychje> Crell: you sure permissions arent messed up somehow?
[03:35] <Crell> I don't think so... and I'm now trying as root directly.
[03:35] <Crell> Wait... wha?
[03:36] <WyZeGuY> Use the corner of a wall.
[03:36] <Crell> The /var/www dir is owned by "1000".
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> Crell: cause im readin snort similar errors on permissions
[03:37] <Crell> Hm.  OK, now this is interesting...
[03:38] <Crell> The /vagrant dir is owned by vagrant:vagrant, as are its children.
[03:38] <Crell> But /var/www is 1000:1000
[03:38] <lotuspsychje> Crell: i think if you install apache2 from a livecd, would install without errors
[03:39] <Crell> Had I a live CD...
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> Crell: talk to the #httpd guys, they might know what it is
[03:39] <Crell> This is in a Vagrant box.  And Ihave no CD drive. :-)

[03:45] <WyZeGuY> lol
[03:45] <WyZeGuY> wouldn't that be a bad graphics driver?
[03:46] <WyZeGuY> bad screen resolution?
[03:48] <daftykins> WyZeGuY: we can all guess.
[03:49] <WyZeGuY> that happened on my windows drive once. i changed put it in a different laptop, changed the screen resolution to the "Recommended" setting, switched it back and it was fine

[03:57] <WyZeGuY> did you guys get my message about firefox? anyone heard of firefox screens just going black?
[03:58] <Tom84> I haven't
[03:58] <WyZeGuY> daftykins i don't know if you were the last person to message me, but i assumed so. i heard the ping a couple times, but my browser went black so i didn't know who was messaging me
[03:59] <daftykins> WyZeGuY: leave.

[04:06] <jmadero> evening all - I have a MoGo bluetooth mouse that works flawlessly in Ubuntu other than the battery %, it always shows 0% in Ubuntu, any suggestions?
[04:08] <somsip> akurilin: make sure the script works on it's own, set the cronjob for every minute (disable any destructive actions it takes) to make sure it's being called, set the timing correctly and reenable all aspects of the script, monitor /var/log/syslog to make sure it runs with no errors

[04:29] <MichaelHabib> hi,
[04:29] <MichaelHabib> I've installed Grub2 on a USB and plan to use it to run ISO's. The problem is, I cant find the correct way to add custom menu-entries for grub2
[04:30] <MichaelHabib> they all say edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom  .. but where is this file ? as I have a boot partition/usb there is no  /etc/grub.d/40_custom   , only  USB/boot/grub/*
[04:31] <Evarist__> !offline
[04:33] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: To boot an .iso : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot . On an install that file " /etc/grub.d/40_custom " does exist >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 214 Oct 23  2013 /etc/grub.d/40_custom .
[04:35] <jasol> Is it possible to expand an encrypted LUKS without deleting it?
[04:35] <MichaelHabib> Bashing-om: so /etc/grub.d/40_custom is available after installing the OS ?
[04:37] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: That is a fact . do in terminal -> ls -al /etc/grub.d/40_custom <- to see that is true.
[04:38] <somsip> akurilin: ignoring environmental needs is a common reason for the cronjob to fail, so you're right to focus on it.
[04:39] <MichaelHabib> Bashing-om: the thing is, I need to create the custom menus without any OS is installed . The idea is to have the USB to boot ISO's and maybe other OS's when needed  .. but I need all these Grub2 Menu changes to be in one location, not depenent on installing an os
[04:40] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: In your proposal, I see no way . You see grub's 2nd stage boot code is located in the installed system .
[04:41] <MichaelHabib> the idea is  Grub2 + Custom Menus + ISOs all on one partition
[04:42] <MichaelHabib> SO looking at Stage1 , how do I create Custom Menu entries to point GRUB2 to the OS(s) I want to boot?
[04:42] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: BUT, from an 'buntu install from grub it is possible to boot up an 'buntu .iso .
[04:44] <jasol> When expanding a LUKS partition, is it required to remove it and replace it with a new expanded one?
[04:44] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: I know of no way to embedd the pointers in stage 1 boot code to point to the location of the stage 2 code.
[04:46] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: IF one is conversant with a hex editor, and know their stuff, I am sure it can be done, but way above my skill set .
[04:48] <MICxp> hi guys
[04:49] <nomadist> hi
[04:49] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib:  This is the manual : http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html . All you wnat to know about grub and more.
[04:49] <Bashing-om> want*
[04:50] <nomadist> I am trying to pass some requests via a proxy server on my localhost
[04:50] <nomadist> and I am getting this error:
[04:50] <nomadist> Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused
[04:50] <nomadist> on askubuntu, the only thing I could find was this answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/403512/connection-was-refused-by-other-side-111-connection-refused
[04:50] <nomadist> can anyone explain how I can get my requests through this ?
[04:51] <holstein> nomadist: you are proxy on localhost?
[04:52] <nomadist> holstein, yes, I am using https://github.com/scrapinghub/splash
[04:52] <nomadist> it is a service that renders javascript for scraping..
[04:52] <holstein> nomadist: maybe the creators will provide support
[04:53] <nomadist> but isn't this an OS problem?
[04:54] <holstein> nomadist: you can always try it with another OS via a live CD.. i would want to isolate the OS and the application for sure
[05:01] <dinkus0> hello
[05:01] <dinkus0> world
[05:03] <MichaelHabib> Bashing-om: ty ty, while non of the 10s of sites I have been on mention ist, I can create  /boot/grub/custom.cfg  .. this will keep my custom menu entries on the boot partition while other os specific changes can be done on  /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[05:05] <s0ny> I installed Ultimate Edition 4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04 based) dual booted with windows 8. I added the swap partition but did not add the bios manager option. I can only boot into linux through the CD > Boot from harddisk. How can I get a grub menu that lets me choose between win8.1 and linux without having to wipe my linux partition?
[05:06] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: Yes, and NO, be aware that grub.cfg is a dynamic file .. it is created from a number of other files. Each time there is a change in the kernel that file will be re-created.
[05:17] <jesse___> I can only reboot if I first boot into live USB
[05:18] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib: Is this an exercise in learing ? The obvious thing is to install a bare bones ubuntu ( @ 5 Gigs) and then boot any .iso file from the installed grub . ( grub's boot process is a particular interest of mine)
[05:22] <stiv2k> hello
[05:22] <Smaug> hey all.  I just upgraded from 12.04 to 14.04, and now whenever I log in the background image shows up but nothing else of the desktop.  Just hangs.   In /var/log/syslog I find this error:     *ERROR* No supported display adapters were found
[05:22] <Smaug> so it seems like it may be some driver issue, but I am not sure how to proceed.  The ubuntu wiki did not help me
[05:23] <stiv2k> i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:23] <stiv2k> why??
[05:25] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, quick question (hopefully), I added a second hard drive (sdb) that I want to mount as /home/jason/
[05:25] <DreamPCs> So can I use this second hard drive in addition to my first hard drive to supplement the space of my home/jason dir? If so, how can I do it via the cli
[05:26] <Bashing-om> Smaug: A proprietary drive in use prior to the release upgrade ? such that the driver is now broken .
[05:27] <Smaug> Bashing-om: perhaps.  how would i determine that?
[05:28] <Smaug> if I run "lspci | grep VGA" it shows I have san AMD RS880M [Mobility Radeon 4225/4250]
[05:28] <Smaug> i looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver but i don't see instructions on it for installing anything
[05:28] <Bashing-om> Smaug: For a looksee; what returns -> sudo lshw -C display <- ? look on the "configuration" line annd see if/what driver is installed .
[05:30] <Bashing-om> Smaug: " [Mobility Radeon 4225/4250 " that card no longer has support from ATI .
[05:30] <Smaug> the configuration line just says "latency=0"
[05:30] <bobo`> \exit
[05:31] <Smaug> Bashing-om: alright, so I need to switch to open source support?  (Hopefully?  <:/)
[05:33] <Smaug> according to the RadeonDriver wiki page it has community support
[05:33] <Bashing-om> Smaug: That is a fact. IF you want 14.04 . Purge FGLRX and install the open source driver. ( I run an old ATI card/open source driver and have no problem, but, I am not a gamer )
[05:33] <Smaug> I am not a gamer either
[05:34] <dts|pokeball> i dont believe you
[05:35] <Smaug> how can I install open source driver?  on the wiki page the only install it has is "sudo apt-get install mesa-utils"  is that the driver?
[05:35] <Bashing-om> Smaug: -> dpkg -l | grep fglrx <- and take it from there to purge the proprietary driver that no longer does you any good .
[05:36] <Smaug> ok to purse using apt-get as described https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/VideoDriverDetection#Problem:_Need_to_purge_-fglrx ?
[05:36] <Smaug> *purge
[05:36] <Smaug> or is dpkg better
[05:36] <Bashing-om> Smaug: A LOT depends on how you installed a driver ( if you did) as to what it will take to remove it .
[05:37] <Smaug> well IF i installed anything, i would have preferred ap-get (but it would have been a few years ago, honeslty don't remember)
[05:37] <Smaug> i may not have installed anything non default also
[05:37] <Smaug> certainly the computer has the same hardware as when i got it
[05:40] <stiv2k> i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:40] <stiv2k> why??
[05:42] <LordFoobar> hi, I'm trying to run flashplayer (standalone) to run a swf and it complains about not being able to load canberra-gtk-module. Now, all points to the fact that I have a 64-bit installation and flash was compiled for a 32-bit env, so there's some conflict.... is there any way to run a swf file in Ubuntu with a player that works? :)
[05:42] <Smaug> doing it now...looks like there was no fglrx to uninstall..
[05:42] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Run ->  dpkg -l | grep fglrx <- and we see what components are installed .
[05:43] <_root_> hello
[05:43] <_root_> I am looking for another source for http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yosemix?content=167692
[05:43] <_root_> do any of you know another source for this theme?
[05:47] <Smaug> Bashing-om: ahhh.  messed up something bad.  tried to follow the instructions to purge fglrx.   restarted.   issue remains
[05:48] <Smaug> Bashing-om: at the terminal log in prompt, however, when i type an "a," instead of "a" appearing, either nothing appears or "^[a" appears
[05:48] <Smaug> so i can't log in on terminal now either
[05:49] <Jor> does anybody know how to install Ubuntu on hp Omen?
[05:49] <Bashing-om> Smaug: I fail to see how those instructions from the wiki could have this result. From grub boot menu, do you know how to boot to terminal ?
[05:51] <Smaug> Bashing-om: i do not...is there a keyboard shortcut?
[05:53] <Smaug> hold dodwn shift
[05:53] <Smaug> i'm there
[05:53] <Smaug> in grub
[05:54] <Smaug> Bashing-om: i have grub command line, don't know if that counts as terminal
[05:55] <Bashing-om> Smaug: I bet there is still an Xorg.conf file in effect from a maybe FGLRX driver (??) . // At the grub boot menu with the latest kernel with a asterisk to the left, press the e key for edit mode, arrow down to the kernel boot line ( similar: linux    /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=217ed9a7-e11a-4e32-8c05-992e8c8932b6 ro  quiet splash $vt_handoff ) replace the terms "quiet splash" with the term "text" with out the quotes, key combo ct
[05:55] <stiv2k> i just installed lubuntu 14.04.1 i386 and i noticed the lubuntu software center is not showing up programs like vlc, lubuntu-restricted-extras, but they do appear if i use the console, i.e. sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:55] <stiv2k> why??
[05:55] <LordFoobar> this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashPlayerStandalone is NOT helpful. It does not work.
[05:56] <Smaug> Bashing-om: i am replacing the words "quiet splash" with "text"
[05:56] <Smaug> anything else?
[05:57] <Smaug> what do you mean key combo ct?
[05:57] <Smaug> it says press ctrl - x to boot, should I do so?
[05:58] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Small steps, when in terminal, does the keyboard work ? key combo is a combination holding the control key and press the x key at the same time.
[05:58] <Smaug> k.  so should i boot now or not?
[05:58] <Smaug> i was able to type and make the changes as you requested
[05:58] <Smaug> it works in the grub editor
[05:59] <Bashing-om> Smaug: You should now be booted to a terminal ( Command Line Interface) .
[05:59] <Smaug> after pressing CTRL X?
[05:59] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Yes, if you made the edit to the boot parameter line.
[06:01] <Smaug> boots to terminal now, keyboard working correctly, able to sign in
[06:03] <koderok> Hi, I have a basic question about http proxy - is a scenario possible when there is a username without password? Like http_proxy=http://username@8.8.8.8:3128 ?
[06:03] <Smaug> Bashing-om: should i investigate something now?
[06:04] <Bashing-om> Smaug: small steps ( I am tired 12 hours now on this keyboard ) .. does this file exist -> ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf <- .
[06:05] <Smaug> Bashing-om: i appreciate you helping me!   yes, the file exists

[06:15] <jackhall> if my file system is full and i want to continue to add files to my system, can i add a new partition with free memory and continue to add files to /home/userA
[06:15] <jackhall> ?
[06:15] <Bashing-om> Smaug: -> ls -al /usr/share/ati/ <- ; just to make sure a OEM install has not been attempted .
[06:16] <Smaug> Bashing-om: yup, there is no /usr/share/ati
[06:17] <Bashing-om> jackhall: The better thisng is to find out why/where the fullness exist ( many times it is old kernels in /boot that need to be removed) . in direct answer to your question, yes there are ways .
[06:18] <jackhall> Bashing-om: its because i made it full with software im developing and using
[06:18] <jackhall> and i need to continue my development
[06:18] <jackhall> and need more storage
[06:18] <jackhall> i have an encrypted ubuntu running by the way. what ways are there? is it recommended? what do other large corporations do?
[06:19] <Bashing-om> jackhall: Then you want to investigate a) symlinks to other partitions, b) making up a new partition and mounting it .
[06:20] <Bashing-om> Smaug: OK, next in the install ladder -> sudo apt-get install dkms <- .
[06:20] <jackhall> Bashing-om: what do other companies do? Do you store their development files on an NAS server?
[06:20] <jackhall> Bashing-om: just want to know the most recommended way of doing things
[06:21] <Smaug> Bashing-om: already the newest version
[06:21] <Bashing-om> jackhall: NAS is one solution, I store my stuff on a separate partition on my local hard drive.
[06:22] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Good ! next -> sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon <- .
[06:22] <jackhall> Bashing-om: would you say NAS is preferred? i can buy a NAS server no problem
[06:22] <jackhall> im gonna do that. how would i integrate an NAS server i buy with Ubuntu?
[06:23] <Smaug> already newest version
[06:23] <Bashing-om> jackhall: No I would not say it is preferred, your use case and what you do is the determinning factor. I like things in house and under my own control .
[06:24] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Great ! -> sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core <- .
[06:24] <jackhall> Bashing-om: i can buy a NAS server in house, but what would i do to integrate it to my /home
[06:25] <Bashing-om> jackhall: Mount the NAS in fstab. But been too long since I have done that, Others can better advise .
[06:27] <Smaug> Bashing-om: done
[06:28] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Lastly, again -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <- just cheap insurance . then reboot to the GUI, let's see what we have now .
[06:29] <Smaug> should i modify grub to revert back to what it was before when i restart?
[06:30] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Nope, that edit was a one-time thing, will not persist.
[06:30] <Smaug> ok
[06:31] <SpeedyBozar> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkTt9k4Y-a8 how can this shit have so many views? where does it come from?
[06:31] <jackhall> by doing what you do
[06:31] <jackhall> promoting it everywhere
[06:32] <SpeedyBozar> haha, good answer
[06:32] <SpeedyBozar> but srsly... those people commenting saying its a great song
[06:33] <SpeedyBozar> its screwing with my mind
[06:34] <Smaug> Bashing-om: Nice!  Seems to be working now!
[06:35] <Bashing-om> Smaug: Outstanding ! You do good work .
[06:35] <Smaug> You have been such an amazing help, I appreciate it.  I would send you a cake if I could.
[06:37] <jackhall> Smaug: ediblearrangements.com
[06:37] <jackhall> just messin' haha - real site though
[06:39] <Bashing-om> Smaug: It's open source at it's best here. 1 for all and all for one .
[06:39] <Smaug> Bashing-om: ++
[06:39] <Smaug> i'll pass it on where I can
[07:03] <drb_> hallo
[07:04] <drb_> wie geht es?
[07:04] <drb_> hallo
[07:04] <rejd_> pretty good actually :)
[07:04] <Bashing-om> drb_: Ubuntu support channel. English.
[07:04] <drb_> ok
[07:05] <drb_> how are you
[07:06] <Bashing-om> drb_: I am Tired, thinking of shutting down for this session. You have a support question ?
[07:08] <drb_> no, i'm looking for functions
[07:11] <drb_> but i have some experience with ubuntu-applications
[07:19] <seventyninefourt> Anyone here have info on how gparted/ubuntu supports HFS+?
[07:19] <seventyninefourt> I've noticed that it can shrink it, but not expand HFS+, as far as I can tell
[07:22] <seventyninefourt> anyone? HFS+ support?
[07:22] <rypervenche> seventyninefourt: Give it time for a response.
[07:23] <rypervenche> seventyninefourt: As far as I know it needs to be done in OSX.
[07:24] <seventyninefourt> rypervenche: last I checked Disk Utility nukes the soul out of partitions it doesn't recognize, I don't know if that's changed since 10.6.8
[07:24] <seventyninefourt> I'd gladly use DU, but I don't want to nuke my partitions in the process
[07:25] <rypervenche> seventyninefourt: If no one answers you might want to try in ##mac. From what I know Linux's support of HFS+ is limited.
[07:25] <lewis1711> if the media keys for changing the brightness used to function, and after a restart no longer function, what's likely to be the cause? scratching my head
[07:26] <seventyninefourt> lewis1711: drivers?
[07:26] <seventyninefourt> rypervenche: i'll hop over there, not positive
[07:27] <lewis1711> henesy, I did change from the open source driver to fglrx, but I changed back and it still doesn't work.  it's very strange
[07:28] <henesy> lewis1711: I've had problems in the past with swapping drivers, nvidia ones always needed some fix in /etc/X11 somewhere, I don't know about your card
[07:31] <lewis1711> changing the screen brightness in the energy saving dialog doesn't do anything either. weird. will try everything I read on google even if it makes no sense, and if it fails I'll reinstall I guess
[07:32] <henesy> lewis1711: can you use xsetbacklight
[07:34] <lewis1711> henesy, what package is it in?
[07:34] <henesy> lewis1711: should just be xsetbacklight
[07:35] <lewis1711> nope, packaage manager has never heard of it (:
[07:36] <lewis1711> changed the grub entry, time to reboot and hope for the best
[07:38] <n3vtelen> nm-applet vanished
[07:38] <henesy> n3vtelen: sudo service NetworkManager restart
[07:39] <n3vtelen> when i type nm-applet show this error:
[07:39] <n3vtelen> applet now removed from the notification area
[07:39] <n3vtelen> using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon
[07:39] <n3vtelen> ?
[07:41] <floatingpoint> how can i make two partitions appear as a single diretory?

[07:45] <ahmadsu> Hello, anyone can guide me to find the problem on graphics issues like this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a5ibjpu0aap3xe/Screenshot%20from%202014-12-09%2006%3A35%3A57.png?dl=0
[07:46] <ahmadsu> The problem only happen on unity,. No problem at all on cinnamon.
[07:47] <bubbasaures> ahmadsu, What release is this?
[07:48] <ahmadsu> Ubuntu 14.04
[07:49] <lewis1711> ok, this is very strange. "xbacklight -set" does nothing. tried with lots of different numbers
[07:49] <bubbasaures> ahmadsu, Did unity run fine before adding cinnamon? Not sure what you added with a ppa and if the issue.
[07:52] <henesy> hrm, disabled journaling, still not liking the hfs+ at all
[07:53] <princedastain_> !help Hi bro... any application (without addons) who capable using Corporate Mail (microsoft Exchange 2010), i have used thunderbird + Davmail gateway at beginning its success but failed when try to send an email and show error (like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9438176/)
[07:53] <ahmadsu> bubbasaures: yes, unity run fine before and after adding cinnamon.
[07:53] <ubuntu> hello everyone
[07:54] <santhosh> hai how to write username and password in command line it is possible in ubuntu
[07:54] <henesy> santhosh, echo $USER
[07:54] <henesy> password is not possible " "
[07:54] <ahmadsu> bubbasaures: i also have reinstall unity and intel graphic driver.. But no success
[07:55] <Kartagis> why would a user be not able to upload to a directory which is owned by them?
[07:55] <maddens> how is everyone??
[07:55] <henesy> Kartagis, check folder permissions
[07:55] <bubbasaures> ahmadsu, Not really my best area, give a leading to, if you can, oninfo, this graphic issue and the graphic hardware info to the channel.
[07:55] <bubbasaures> info on*
[07:56] <Kartagis> henesy: 755 didn't cut, 775 didn't cut, I had to do 777
[07:56] <henesy> Kartagis, should just be able to do chmod u+rwx /path/to/folder
[07:56] <henesy> to use folders you have to have them set as executable
sudo mount.cifs //172.16.13.24/"Ind Results"/ /home/lubtest3/Desktop/india1/ -o username=edl,domain=transdyne.co.in when press enter it will asking password ,if any case we can write sudo password on that command
[07:57] <Kartagis> henesy: is that 777?
[07:57] <santhosh> no it is 775
[07:57] <Kartagis> 775 didn't cut :S
[07:57] <henesy> Kartagis, 0770 actually
[07:58] <henesy> assuming you give group access
[07:58] <henesy> if not
[07:58] <henesy> 640
[07:58] <henesy> *740
[07:58] <henesy> excuse me
[07:58] <Kartagis> henesy: both user and group are the same
[07:58] <henesy> u+rwx then g+r g-wx o-rwx
[07:59] <henesy> Kartagis, if execute is on for the DIRECTORY in question and you have R/W on then there is something else very wrong
[07:59] <henesy> can you touch something into it?
[07:59] <henesy> or can root?
[07:59] <Kartagis> henesy: I am root
[07:59] <henesy> o
[07:59] <henesy> erm
[07:59] <henesy> you done goofed
[07:59] <henesy> chown it?
[07:59] <floatingpoint> YO
[07:59] <henesy> chown -R root:root
[07:59] <floatingpoint> I ANSWERED MY OWN QUESTION!
[08:00] <ObrienDave> cool, we like that
[08:00] <Kartagis> henesy: would it matter if the directory is in /var/www/ ?
[08:00] <henesy> Kartagis, are you running an apache/nginx server?
[08:01] <floatingpoint> mhddfs /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc /data
[08:01] <Kartagis> henesy: apache, yeah
[08:01] <floatingpoint> MERGE THEM DRIVES
[08:01]  * Kartagis floats floatingpoint's point
[08:02] <Kartagis> sorry, had to do it
[08:03] <lewis1711> on the odd chance this is familiar to anyone... the brightness changes every time I reboot. hard to google for. any ideas?
[08:03] <henesy> Kartagis, chown -R www-data:www-data; chmod -R u+rw; chmod -R g+rw; chmod -R o+r; chmod u+x /var/www/folder
[08:03] <henesy> lewis1711, is this a mac by any chance?
[08:04] <lewis1711> henesy, nope thinkpad. also I tright your xbacklight thing, doesn't do it either. really weird, was working perfectly earlier today, then I restarted
[08:04] <lewis1711> *tried
[08:04] <lewis1711> at this stage I am thinking I migh just re-install ubuntu
[08:05] <henesy> If you've fucked up your X11 then yeah, re-install might be worth it
[08:05] <henesy> X11 is a pain to restore
[08:05] <henesy> what's your graphics card?
[08:06] <lewis1711> I have no clue how though. I changed drivers yesterday and restarted and all was fine
[08:07] <lewis1711> henesy, Radeon HD 8330]
[08:07] <lewis1711> something I should look for on the wiki actually
[08:07] <henesy> probably, I have to go, best of luck
[08:07] <henesy> check the arch wiki too
[08:07] <lewis1711> cheers, thanks for your help
[08:07] <henesy> mp
[08:08] <Kartagis> henesy: that gives me fail to upload
[08:08] <ahmadsu> bubbasaures: do you know which process that draw the desktop background? The issue disappeared if i put application on top of it.
[08:08] <henesy> Kartagis, before I go, wait, wait, are you trying to upload TO the web server from somewhere else?
[08:08] <ahmadsu> On anyone can help me?
[08:08] <ahmadsu> *or
[08:08] <Kartagis> henesy: that's what upload means, right?
[08:09] <henesy> If so, what's your framework, what's the process of uploading? SCP? Wordpress interface? FTP?
[08:09] <bubbasaures> ahmadsu, compiz is the manager lots of ways to tweak and break there, can be reset though.
[08:10] <henesy> if you are uploading from FTP, you have to make sure whatever "user" is being written as by the FTP daemon has permissions, if you're scp'ing you have to make sure the local user is part of the www-data group or w/e, alternatively do the same wtih the FTP daemon (change group/append group), and if it's through wordpress, see ftp
[08:10] <henesy> and i'm off to sleep, night all
[08:10] <henesy> gl with your web server
[08:14] <ahmadsu> bubbasaures: trying to reset compiz now. Thanks
[08:15] <hey_baby> what is this?
[08:16] <hey_baby> what is this program?
[08:26] <ObrienDave> what is what program?
[08:27] <bubbasaures> you know that one with the thingy
[08:27] <ObrienDave> oh, the thing-a-ma-bob, forgot about that do-hickey
[08:33] <delt> Hello
[08:34] <Pici> Howdy
[08:34] <delt> how do i change the hostname permanently?
[08:34] <Pici> !hostname
[08:34] <Pici> ^^
[08:35] <delt> why both the old and new hostname in /etc/hosts?
[08:36] <Pici> For transitions sake. You can remove the old one after everything is working.
[08:36] <delt> ie. after a reboot?
[08:36] <Pici> Sure
[08:37] <delt> ok, thanks very much!
[08:49] <michaelr525> Hi
[08:51] <michaelr525> accidently renamed /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ on a ubuntu LTS server.
[08:52] <michaelr525> Still have an ssh session open but can't run anything, it seems.
[08:52] <michaelr525> can anyone advice on what can be done please?
[08:54] <iptable> michaelr525: can you rename it back? no? In that case, shutdown, boot into recovery using a USB/CD boot and rename back.
[08:54] <iptable> michaelr525: another way would be to boot into busybox from grub and hope you can rename from there.
[08:55] <michaelr525> iptable: it's a server which I access with ssh
[08:55] <michaelr525> not sure I can do the above..
[08:56] <iptable> michaelr525: that's not really relevant though, no? if you cannot run any commands from the box itself, then it will not get fixed and services will begin to fail. you will have to go to recovery/busybox.
[08:56] <iptable> michaelr525: you *could* try forking busybox from your bash session if you have it installed
[08:57] <iptable> michaelr525: why'd you do that, anyways?
[08:58] <michaelr525> hmm.. it wasn't me..
[08:59] <michaelr525> he had some stupid reasons
[08:59] <iptable> shoot whoever done that. there is no reason to rename it.
[08:59] <iptable> it's like having some reason to throw a server out of the window to reboot it ;)
[08:59] <EriC^^> michaelr525: just type /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ <program>
[09:00] <EriC^^> michaelr525: just type /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ sudo mv/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2_ /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
[09:00] <EriC^^> put a space after mv
[09:00] <EriC^^> i think it should work
[09:01] <iptable> EriC^^: out of couriosity, what will that do if he cannot run any commands?
[09:01] <EriC^^> iptable: do you know why he can;t run any commands?
[09:01] <iptable> unless he was lying and CAN run commands
[09:01] <iptable> EriC^^: I'm guessing more than just the ld library got renamed, but who knows
[09:03] <BlackDex> Hello there, Is there some way to extend the max search-domains without recompiling libc?
[09:03] <Consfearacy> is ubuntu still cool?
[09:03] <iptable> Consfearacy: no, it's red hot !
[09:04] <EriC^^> iptable: if you chmod -x an executable, you can run it by typing /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 <program>
[09:04] <cfhowlett> Consfearacy, do you have a TECHNICAL support question?
[09:04] <iptable> EriC^^: good call. how will bash fork+exec the library without the library needed to fork it though...? *might* just work. worth a try
[09:05] <nichlas> I know it's not strictly ubuntu, but can anyone recommend a good font for putty?
[09:06] <michaelr525> Eric^^: interesting.. thanks
[09:06] <michaelr525> iptable: god bless busybox
[09:06] <cfhowlett> nichlas, "good"??? unable to process your subjective parameter
[09:06] <michaelr525> it worked
[09:06] <iptable> nichlas: if you stop using putty, you will get very nice fonts actually. Loads of good terminal emulators out there. even with semi-transparency
[09:06] <cfhowlett> n
[09:07] <michaelr525> i was actually puzzled why there is not mv/ls/cp in /sbin
[09:07] <nichlas> cfhowlett: i don't ask to get the subjective truth here :)
[09:07] <michaelr525> now i understand that ubuntu just replaced these with busybox
[09:07] <iptable> michaelr525: yes, no problem at all :) busybox is a lot of commands compiled in to one binary.
[09:07] <nichlas> iptable: objective*
[09:07] <iptable> it's a "recovery application" more or less. also used in embedded systems to avoid having so many binaries around
[09:08] <bq> how to delete the 5th line for a lot of files?
[09:08] <bq> quickly in one batch
[09:08] <iptable> nichlas: no, there are, really. comping from windows background, it took me 2 years to switch over form putty as I was used to it. Now I don't know how I could have ever used it.
[09:08] <veto_guo21> hello world?
[09:09] <iptable> bq: so in all files in a single directory you want to delete line 5?
[09:09] <iptable> bq: text files?
[09:09] <nichlas> iptable: what do you suggest? I've always used putty, so I've never looked around.
[09:09] <veto_guo21> anyone in there?
[09:09] <bq> iptable: yes text files. several folders
[09:09] <iptable> nichlas: on linux mint I use the provided cinnamon-terminal and mate-terminal, which are very nice.
[09:09] <iptable> bq: directories
[09:10] <bq> iptable: but if you can do it in one directory.
[09:10] <linuxd> what is the full path_to_kernel_sources?
[09:10] <nichlas> iptable: ah, but i use different terminals when actually in linux. but unfortunately I'm displaying ubuntu from other systems most of the time.
[09:10] <iptable> bq: find /path/to/dir -type f |while read fn; do sed -i '5d' "${fn}"; done
[09:11] <iptable> nichlas: why not use the ubuntu terminal then? nice fonts, configurable, semi-transparency, tab support. what more you want?
[09:12] <iptable> nichlas: of course, changing the text/background colours and font size is a must ;)
[09:13] <iptable> nichlas: sorry, I'm assuming you are using ubuntu ON your machine on which you were running putty itself? or is the host windows?
[09:13] <blackstone_> kk
[09:13] <marck> ciao
[09:13] <marck> !list
[09:14] <nichlas> iptable: the host is multiple systems. I don't always get to choose. When i'm on Ubuntu i use the terminal.
[09:14] <nichlas> I'm usualy ssh'ing to ubuntu. Was just interrested in if anyone had a favorite terminal font.
[09:15] <iptable> nichlas: ah. so you do end up on windows hosts too... I normally reboot them and boot to my liveUSB as I refuse to use windows for any employer ;) But I see your point.
[09:15] <bq> iptable: great. thanks
[09:15] <iptable> nichlas: favourite terminal font is different for everyone, although most stick with default
[09:15] <iptable> bq: no probs
[09:16] <nichlas> iptable: I'd prefer ubuntu, but booting in my own system is usually not possible for network reasons. When on windows I use Putty-portable.
[09:16] <iptable> nichlas: makes sense
[09:16] <bq> iptable: are you linux system admin?
[09:17] <iptable> nichlas: although on windows, putty will use windows fonts, so your question is kind of irrelevant for #ubuntu
[09:17] <iptable> bq: solutions architect
[09:17] <nichlas> some times i even have to run it through TOR because they thing opening outgoing ports are dangeours.
[09:17] <bq> wow, sounds great.
[09:17] <iptable> not bad. less stress more money.
[09:17] <iptable> need to be a damn good engineer beofrehand though
[09:18] <bq> big consulting companies offer that
[09:18] <nichlas> iptable: i knew it was kinda irellevant. but i thought many commandline folks would not mind sharing their preferences for fonts.
[09:19] <iptable> nichlas: I know the pain ;) I have an ubuntu box at home running at all times with a GUI allowing me to connect to it (ssh) on port 443. And then I VNC (or equivalent) once I have my ssh connection. from there I feel more "at home" ;). I also carry cygwin with me as a backup
[09:23] <bq> iptable: how much should I pay to hire you?
[09:23] <blackstone_> .
[09:25] <iptable> bq: onsite?
[09:25] <blackstone_> no
[09:25] <iptable> blackstone_: ?
[09:26] <blackstone_> haha
[09:26] <blackstone_> first use
[09:26] <iptable> uhm, ok
[09:26] <blackstone_> just a little understand
[09:27] <iptable> blackstone_: type if you have technical question. people will answer. just about that's it.
[09:27] <blackstone_> 你会中文吗
[09:27] <nichlas> and then you wait :)
[09:27] <k1l_> !cn | blackstone_
[09:28] <blackstone_> 恩
[09:28] <bq> iptable: what ever, you are in top notch:) you prefer onsite?
[09:28] <blackstone_> yes
[09:29] <blackstone_> Im learing ,its funning
[09:30] <iptable> bq: no, I do most contracts from home/customer sites if required.
[09:32] <iptable> bq: PM
[09:33] <crito> Hi guys, I have a problem. I'm unable to connect to my dedicated server from my current IP address. Can access it through ip out of office. Any help would be great
[09:35] <nichlas> crito: are you using standard port 22?
[09:35] <DJones> crito: If I understand you, you can connect to your server (at the office) using your internal office network, but can't connect outside the office via the internet
[09:36] <crito> not a problem with ssh. Yes that is right DJones.
[09:37] <nichlas> crito: might be an issue with blocked ports on your office network. Especially if you are not using standard ports.
[09:38] <DJones> crito: So inside your office your connect to the servers internal ip address (Guessing at 192.168.0.x) but outside the office you connect using the external ip of your network, have you set your router to forward ssh requests from the outside world on a specific ssh port to your server?
[09:38] <crito> my server isn't even letting me access the hosted websites through my browser
[09:39] <crito> router is set to forward traffic, worked fine until yesterday morning.
[09:39] <crito> Can the hosting site blacklist my ip address?
[09:39] <DJones> crito: DO you have a fixed ip address? Is there any chance that it could have changed?
[09:40] <iptable> crito: so when on the network you cannot access the server using the EXTERNAL IP of that network?
[09:40] <crito> we have a static ip
[09:41] <iptable> crito: but you can access it using it's internal IP?
[09:42] <crito> yes the office ip is unable to access the server, but offsite ip can
[09:42] <iptable> crito: if you use the internal IP of the server from the office, can you access it? or also no?
[09:42] <crito> its hosted offsite iptable
[09:43] <iptable> crito: so you have a server in location A. You can access it from location B but not location C. All locations have their own external IP and there is no VPN involved. Correct?
[09:43] <crito> yes
[09:43] <iptable> crito: can you ping the server from the office? can you ssh to it? can you connect on port 443 (https) and/or port 80 (http)?
[09:44] <iptable> crito: answer yes/no to ALL questions
[09:44] <crito> no ping, traceroute, ssh, port 80 or 443
[09:44] <crito> all connections just hang
[09:45] <iptable> crito: ok, so you cannot access the server AT ALL from the office.
[09:45] <crito> no iptable
[09:45] <iptable> crito: on the server: iptables-save. provide output in pastebin
[09:45] <iptable> crito: also, check if your office router has got any outgoing port/ip blocking or rate-limiting enabled
[09:46] <crito> will do iptable, thanks, just be a min
[09:46] <iptable> crito: also provide traceroute to server IP from office and from remote location. both tcp-syn and icmp traceroutes.
[09:47] <iptable> crito: once you have all the details, pastebin them to us, stating which one is which.
[09:53] <linocisco> can we talk about ubuntuphone here?
[09:53] <cfhowlett> !touch | linocisco
[09:53] <cuppa_coffee> I cant remember what kind of amd graphic card i have in my machine... rather than booting to windows or opening up the case, what program can help me here?
[09:54] <explosive> cuppa_coffee: lspci | grep VGA
[09:55] <cuppa_coffee> and its a radeon HD 6850. Thank you very much! Now, lets search for the correct driver :)
[09:56] <crito> cheers iptable, I've just noticed that my ip address is for some reason in -A DENYIN -s . . . . ! -i lo -J DROP
[09:56] <cuppa_coffee> http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064 <-- ok, can anybody tell me which one i should choose now? top one?
[09:56] <crito> if I allow this with iptables will that allow me in?
[09:58] <chowndungoof> help help help help
[09:59] <chowndungoof> u just chown -R www-data:www-data /
[09:59] <explosive> chowndungoof: ? did you just chown something?
[09:59] <chowndungoof> instead of chown -R www-data:www-data ./
[09:59] <chowndungoof> i just made my whole PC owned by www-data
[09:59] <chowndungoof> so I paniced and did chown -R user:user
[09:59] <explosive> you used sudo?
[10:00] <chowndungoof> Im 90% sure I fucked up
[10:00] <chowndungoof> yea
[10:00] <chowndungoof> it was sudo
[10:00] <Generator_> http://fpaste.org/157896/41811916/ so it seems somehow udev is broken, now I can I reinstall udev and get rid of this problem ? apt-get or dpkg is not helping at all.
[10:00] <chowndungoof> can I undo it
[10:00] <chowndungoof> PLEASEEEEEEEEE
[10:00] <explosive> more like 99.9%
[10:00] <chowndungoof> explosive: theres got to be a way to fix it
[10:00] <chowndungoof> I hit ctrl + c
[10:00] <chowndungoof> so i mean it must have only hit part of my server
[10:00] <explosive> chowndungoof: you could reinstall every single package on the installation
[10:01] <chowndungoof> using synaptic?
[10:01] <chowndungoof> that will work
[10:01] <explosive> it would still be ugly
[10:01] <chowndungoof> will i lose my files
[10:01] <chowndungoof> will it break things?
[10:01] <explosive> as some files would get missed i guess
[10:01] <chowndungoof> but the system files will work
[10:01] <chowndungoof> correct
[10:02] <chowndungoof> if I open synaptic
[10:03] <chowndungoof> mark all the currently installed files
[10:03] <chowndungoof> and hit mark for reinstallation
[10:03] <iptable> crito: yes
[10:03] <chowndungoof> will it save my PC
[10:03] <explosive> chowndungoof: get the list of packages and use apt-get install --reinstall
[10:03] <iptable> just remove the deny rule (same rule, with -D instead of -I or -A
[10:03] <explosive> chowndungoof: you will still have config files and other files you created that need fixing manually
[10:04] <explosive> chowndungoof: you can use find / -user <user> to get them and fix the ownership
[10:04] <iptable> chowndungoof: you should chown -R user:user . , not ./, to avoid that. you pretty much screwed it up. you could try apt-get reinstall all packages. not sure how well that will work.
[10:05] <explosive> chowndungoof: dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print$2}'
[10:05] <explosive> chowndungoof: that will give you a list of all installed packages
[10:06] <chowndungoof> explosive: I opened file browser
[10:06] <chowndungoof> and I can see that only the top 3 folders have been recently modified
[10:06] <explosive> chowndungoof: you have to do it from the terminal
[10:06] <chowndungoof>  /tmp/ /sys/ and /run
[10:06] <explosive> chowndungoof: hmm, type sudo find / -user wwwdata
[10:06] <chowndungoof> so i dont think my whole PC got hit
[10:06] <explosive> see what it returns
[10:07] <iptable> chowndungoof: execute the last command explosive gave you. you will see how much you nuked.
[10:08] <chowndungoof> its loading very slowly
[10:09] <chowndungoof> I think I did chown root:root after
[10:09] <chowndungoof> then hit it with a user user
[10:09] <chowndungoof> then paniced
[10:09] <chowndungoof> and ctrl c
[10:09] <chowndungoof> i noticed i ducked up the wwwdata when I had my pidgin get a permission error
[10:09] <hw__> et.org
[10:10] <geirha> So you have some painstakingly long days ahead of you, figuring out what ownerships each file should've had.
[10:10] <linuxd> how to unload driver  mb86a16 and load driver CX23880 instead?
[10:10] <chowndungoof> should I reinstall all my installed apps?
[10:10] <geirha> Unless you have a backup at hand, then it's easy
[10:10] <chowndungoof> or should I rechown to the correct level
[10:10] <iptable> chowndungoof: might be easier to reinstall
[10:11] <explosive> ^^
[10:11] <chowndungoof> No its not easier to reinstall
[10:11] <chowndungoof> this is a live webserver
[10:11] <chowndungoof> i was in the process of making a backup
[10:11] <chowndungoof> and I fucked it up
[10:12] <linuxd> Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder.is this device supported?
[10:12] <MaxFrames> hello
[10:12] <chowndungoof> im panicing
[10:12] <chowndungoof> what do i do
[10:12] <MaxFrames> I am trying to recover data from an osx hard disk with file system problems
[10:13] <MaxFrames> I booted the mac from an ubuntu live cd, and I am trying to copy the user directory to a usb hdd
[10:13] <chowndungoof> who does the /sys/ folder normally belong to?
[10:13] <Ben64> chowndungoof: you broke it
[10:13] <nashwan> hi
[10:13] <MaxFrames> I get access denied, and I am not sure what I need to do in order to gain read access to this folder and copy it over
[10:13] <explosive> chowndungoof: dpkg -l | awk '/^ii/ {print$2}' | xargs sudo apt-get install --reinstall
[10:13] <nashwan> hi
[10:13] <MaxFrames> the osx hdd has been automatically mounted read only, and I can see that the permissions are set to "owner only"
[10:13] <explosive> chowndungoof: that will reinstall all the packages
[10:13] <MaxFrames> over the user home folder, I mean
[10:14] <MaxFrames> I've tried to change the permissions to allow anyone to read, but I get an error because the file system is read only
[10:14] <MaxFrames> can you help me?
[10:16] <chowndungoof> explosive I will run that over night
[10:16] <Ben64> MaxFrames: maybe try an osx help channel
[10:16] <chowndungoof> there is no chance it will damage my system more
[10:16] <MaxFrames> they will not help with ubuntu
[10:16] <Ben64> MaxFrames: its not "with ubuntu" its an osx filesystem
[10:17] <MaxFrames> the question is about how to change permissions on the directory from within ubuntu
[10:18] <MaxFrames> ubuntu recognizes the permissions on the folder, and enforces them
[10:18] <Ben64> its not a filesystem that is supported fully in linux
[10:19] <MaxFrames> suppose the dir is /Users/myuser, suppose I have no access to the dir and its contents. what would be the command to gain permissions, chmod...?
[10:19] <Ben64> but its read only...
[10:19] <MaxFrames> what if I use the same user credentials on ubuntu?
[10:20] <Ben64> just go to an osx help channel dude
[10:20] <egemen_> hello
[10:20] <MaxFrames> can I create a user account in a live session?
[10:20] <Ben64> MaxFrames: if you can't view it using sudo, nothing will work
[10:20] <explosive> MaxFrames: can't you remount as rw?
[10:20] <Ben64> explosive: not hfsplus
[10:20] <explosive> Ben64: oh, ok
[10:21] <chowndungoof> explosive: thank you for your help just one quick question what is the /sys/ folder suppose to be at
[10:21] <chowndungoof> root or user?
[10:22] <explosive> root
[10:22] <Ben64> chowndungoof: root, but its not a real directory and gets reset on boot
[10:22] <chowndungoof> So if I was to reboot my system now
[10:22] <chowndungoof> in its party owned user state it would be fine
[10:23] <Ben64> what?
[10:23] <chowndungoof> i sudo chown most of my server to user
[10:23] <chowndungoof> and if I reboot
[10:23] <Ben64> i'm saying /sys gets made every boot, not every file on the computer
[10:23] <chowndungoof> will all the tmp files and stuff  like /sys/ fix them selfs
[10:23] <chowndungoof> correct
[10:23] <chowndungoof> will my system boot tho
[10:23] <chowndungoof> if most files are owned by user
[10:24] <Ben64> who knows
[10:24] <Ben64> time to reinstall
[10:24] <MaxFrames> apparently, bindfs "will take an already mounted file system and provide a view of it with whichever uid you'd like"
[10:24] <MaxFrames> so if I know the osx user id I could use bindfs to access the files as that user
[10:25] <Ben64> MaxFrames: again, if you can't view it using sudo, nothing will work
[10:25] <MaxFrames> so far I have just tried to view it from the gui
[10:25] <Ben64> sudo ls /path/to/it
[10:27] <chowndungoof> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
[10:27] <chowndungoof> FUCK
[10:27] <Ben64> watch the language here
[10:27] <chowndungoof> I cant sudo stuff anymore
[10:28] <chowndungoof> should my /etc/ folder be owned by root?
[10:28] <chowndungoof> or by user?
[10:29] <explosive> every dir is owned by root
[10:29] <iptable> chowndungoof: on your computer, deploy a virtual machine or LXC container and configure a fresh system. Migrate your live website to it. test, make sure it works. then reinstall hosted server and copy stuff (config etc) over
[10:29] <Ben64> not necessarily true, but nothing outside of the user's home should be owned by the user
[10:29] <chowndungoof> so if I sudo chown -R root:root /
[10:29] <explosive> chowndungoof: yeah, i mean every dir in "/"
[10:30] <explosive> chowndungoof: no, read above
[10:30] <iptable> chowndungoof: so you cannot sudo or su to root (I'm guessing you didn't set root password). In this case, 2 options: 1. reinstall the OS, 2. boot from liveCD/liveUSB recovery and try to fix permissions. not sure which one is easier. I would opt for reinstall for safety
[10:31] <Ben64> learn from this about safety using sudo, chown, and recursive
[10:31] <Ben64> then reinstall
[10:31] <iptable> chowndungoof: some stuff needs to be owned by not root. like /var/www stuff and /var/spool/ etc stuff. all in all, this is *almost* unrecoverable for you. It's a big challange for an experienced sysadmin
[10:32] <chowndungoof>  /var/spool and /var/logs are still owned by root
[10:32] <chowndungoof>  /var seems untouched
[10:32] <explosive> chowndungoof: what about /etc ?
[10:32] <brit1230> hey
[10:33] <brit1230> does ubuntu have tcl ? or do i have to install it?
[10:33] <iptable> chowndungoof: those were just examples. there is a lot more. all /bin needs to be root. 99.9% of /etc is root, so should be kind of ok.
[10:34] <iptable> chowndungoof: which dirs did you nuke so far?
[10:35] <explosive> chowndungoof: i'd say get a template of your distro from a fresh install, and run a script that checks every file and sets the permissions as such
[10:35] <iptable> chowndungoof: on my server everything in /etc is root owned, so try to make /bin/ /sbin/ /etc/ root owner (from recovery if you cannot sudo anymore)
[10:36] <iptable> explosive: except that his one is a server so will have more configs than a virgin distro. lots more.
[10:36] <explosive> iptable: yeah but apparently everything in /etc is owned by root, except for a few files who have a differen group
[10:36] <explosive> iptable: i thought way more files weren't owned by root
[10:37] <explosive> iptable: it seems feasible at least, i dont know, what do you think?
[10:37] <chowndungoof> I cant sudo anymore
[10:37] <chowndungoof> how do I fix that to start
[10:37] <iptable> explosive: same here, but apparently on a server only a few would be. only on my asterisk box. not on my webserver though.
[10:37] <iptable> explosive: looks like on desktop it's a different story
[10:37] <iptable> chowndungoof: /bin, /sbin/ /etc/ /boot/ /lib /lib64/ /mnt/ /root/ /sys/ are ROOT OWNED.
[10:37] <iptable> chowndungoof: so these are easily fixed
[10:38] <chowndungoof> I cannot sudo chown right now
[10:38] <chowndungoof> how do I get Sudo powers back first?
[10:38] <Ben64> recovery mode
[10:38] <iptable> chowndungoof: IF you nuked dirs other than the ones I just mentioned, you ARE screwed as they have a mix of ownerships
[10:39] <chowndungoof> Will I be able to boot?
[10:39] <iptable> chowndungoof: I already told you 3 times. recovery mode. or boot liveCD/liveUSB
[10:39] <Ben64> iptable: it was a chown -R /
[10:39] <iptable> chowndungoof: boot lto liveCD for recovery
[10:39] <chowndungoof> what LiveCD should I use
[10:39] <explosive> chowndungoof: there's also the issue of suid, once you chown it, if you set it to root it wont have the suid set anymore
[10:39] <iptable> Ben64: but he cancelled it half way and chown would be more or less alphabetical, just like rm -rf / (DO NOT EXECUTE)
[10:39] <iptable> chowndungoof: ubuntu live CD?
[10:39] <Ben64> iptable: then he did another chown -R /
[10:39] <Ben64> i say reinstall
[10:40] <iptable> Ben64: same here. said that 3 times to him too
[10:40] <Ben64> not so good at listening then i guess
[10:40] <iptable> chowndungoof: ^^ ^^ reinstall. only true way to fix it.
[10:40] <chowndungoof> kk going to power off and liveCD and will be back in a bit
[10:40] <chowndungoof> My hard drive is encrypted
[10:40] <iptable> Ben64: yup, in panic
[10:40] <brit1230> does ubuntu have TCL on it?
[10:40] <chowndungoof> so If I cannot boot back in what do I do to reinstall savely
[10:40] <iptable> chowndungoof: you know the password? then you can do it.
[10:41] <chowndungoof> I know the password
[10:41] <chowndungoof> I just don tknow how to mount it or anything
[10:41] <iptable> chowndungoof: so you can mount encrypted drives
[10:41] <chowndungoof> and im terrified of locking away all my stuff
[10:41] <iptable> chowndungoof: that you already did
[10:41] <chowndungoof> okay I will be back shortly
[10:41] <chowndungoof> wish me luck guys
[10:42] <iptable> luck
[10:42]  * iptable goes to do some work
[10:43] <|MaxFrames|> re
[10:43] <|MaxFrames|> I have made progress, in the terminal I *can* enumerate the directory contents with sudo ls
[10:43] <|MaxFrames|> and I *can* copy single files to the usb hdd
[10:43] <|MaxFrames|> but I cannot seem to copy *all* files
[10:43] <Ben64> cp -R
[10:43] <|MaxFrames|> -R also didn't work
[10:44] <|MaxFrames|> the command I tried is this:
[10:44] <Ben64> how did it "not work"
[10:44] <|MaxFrames|> cannot find the file(s) specified
[10:45] <ashtree> Hi
[10:45] <|MaxFrames|> sudo cp [-R] [user directory path on the osx drive]/*.* [path to the usb drive]
[10:45] <|MaxFrames|> with or without -R, same result
[10:45] <Ben64> *
[10:45] <Ben64> *.* ?? just use *
[10:45] <|MaxFrames|> without -R it didn't work, let me try that with -R
[10:45] <Ben64> or use rsync
[10:46] <explosive> |MaxFrames|: that won't actually copy all files, the *.*
[10:46] <auscompgeek> ^
[10:46] <auscompgeek> that only copies files with a . in the filename
[10:47] <auscompgeek> and even then, that will probably also skip hidden files (those where the first character in the filename is '.')
[10:47] <chowndungoof> Hello
[10:47] <chowndungoof> I am on a liveCD now
[10:47] <LocaL> hello
[10:49] <chowndungoof> Hello explosive
[10:49] <chowndungoof> I managed to boot into recovery mode
[10:49] <|MaxFrames|> "no such file or directory"
[10:49] <chowndungoof> from a liveCD
[10:49] <|MaxFrames|> that's with both rsync and cp
[10:50] <|MaxFrames|> if I use a wild card instead of the actual single file name, I get that error
[10:50] <ashtree> Dose anyone know how to crate a none hybrid .img  - for installing on a laptop, where the bios dosent read hybrid
[10:50] <explosive> |MaxFrames|: try without a wildcard
[10:50] <explosive> |MaxFrames|: cp -r /source /dest
[10:51] <|MaxFrames|> in that case, it says "directory Desktop skipped" and doesn't copy any file
[10:51] <|MaxFrames|> if I can copy a single file, I must be able to copy all of them
[10:51] <|MaxFrames|> or else how do I open the GUI file explorer in sudo mode?
[10:52] <Ben64> you need to use -R to copy directories
[10:52] <chowndungoof> Now that I am in recovery can I mirror the permissions of the liveCD over to my server?
[10:52] <Ben64> or use "rsync -avP /source /destination/"
[10:53] <ashtree> Dose anyone know how to crate a none hybrid .img  - for installing on a laptop, where the bios dosent read hybrid
[10:57] <razvan> ola people, do you know why latest lts on macbook air is not remembering any brightness settings and keyboard light settings? thanks
[11:04] <MaxFrames> it worked, it seems to be copying

[11:08] <ablest> hi
[11:08] <lotuspsychje> ablest: welcome
[11:08] <ablest> ty

[11:12] <cfhowlett> wow, less IRC.  more reading/study.  "the linux command line"  http://www.linuxlinks.com/article/20090405061458383/20oftheBestFreeLinuxBooks-Part1.html
[11:12] <lotuspsychje> chowndungoof: its reccomended to not delete
[11:12] <chowndungoof> If its empty
[11:12] <chowndungoof> can I delete it
[11:12] <ashh> Dose anyone know at what verion of ubuntu hybrid .img came in, need none hybrid
[11:13] <Ben64> chowndungoof: you should really stop doing stuff that you don't know what the effects will be
[11:13] <chowndungoof> I miseed up my whole server by reseting the permisions to user
[11:13] <lotuspsychje> chowndungoof: its there for a reason
[11:13] <chowndungoof> Ben64: I'm copying the permissions from my liveCD to my server one by one
[11:13] <chowndungoof> I think It will end up okay
[11:13] <cfhowlett> ashh, "hybrid" ???? never seen any such release ...
[11:14] <ablest> i got ubuntu 14.04 lts
[11:14] <ashh> to install on a hdd, where bios dosent reconise hybrid
[11:15] <ablest> did the hd come with drivers?
[11:15] <ashh> debin has some old versions that worked but dont konw how to use(comand line)
[11:15] <lotuspsychje> ashh: what are you trying to do exactly?
[11:16] <cfhowlett> ashh to my knowledge there is no ubuntu "hybrid" release so... your source link?
[11:16] <ablest> start up sys with hd?
[11:16] <ashh> thank u. install on a old laptop
[11:16] <lotuspsychje> ashh: install ubuntu on an old laptop?
[11:17] <wow> any channel for backbox
[11:17] <wow> ?????????
[11:17] <DJones> ashh: Ubntu switched to the hybrid disc image from 11.10
[11:17] <ikonia> wow: read the backbox website
[11:17] <ashh> yes. an old debina worked
[11:17] <cfhowlett> wow, don't know.  not ubuntu.  not supported here.
[11:18] <delt> Hello
[11:18] <ashh> is there any way of finding out how to make the new versions none hybrid
[11:18] <cfhowlett> DJones, I'm confused.  "hybrid" meaning ... what?
[11:18] <delt> what does network manager use as host name to identify itself to the network?
[11:18] <DJones> cfhowlett: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/06/ubuntu-switched-to-hybrid-disc-images.html
[11:18] <ikonia> delt: the machines hostname
[11:18] <ashh> is it the file system thets the problem?
[11:18] <cfhowlett> DJones, thank you.  reading
[11:18] <delt> ikonia: as set by the command 'hostname'?
[11:18] <delt> that doesn't work :/
[11:19] <ikonia> delt: whatever your machines hostname is
[11:19] <ikonia> delt: it's actually calling dhclient, and dhclients default is to use the machines hostname
[11:19] <delt> ikonia: i disconnedted, set the hostname to something else with 'hostname', then reconnected, it still used the old name
[11:19] <ikonia> delt: hostname will not work like that
[11:20] <ikonia> delt: you need to set the hostname properly, not just use the hostname command
[11:20] <delt> so, from a livecd for instance... without rebooting?
[11:20] <ikonia> you can't set the livecd hostname realistically
[11:20] <ikonia> technically you can - but realistically not practical
[11:21] <delt> ah ok... :/
[11:21] <delt> just out of curiosity, how would one go about doing that?
[11:22] <delt> edit /etc/dhclient.conf or something like that?
[11:23] <ikonia> delt: yeah, thats a good option
[11:24] <explosive> chowndungoof: still there?
[11:25] <gansteed> http://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/
[11:25] <gansteed> it seems that ubuntu does not contain a 64-bit mit-scheme ?
[11:25] <delt> ikonia: i want to understand how this works. any tutorial / webpage on this? (immediate hostname, no confg files / reboot) ?
[11:26] <Marezz> Hello everyone
[11:26] <veto> hello :>
[11:26] <Marezz> few questions, is there anyone with AMD R9 2xx graphic card & proprietary drivers using Ubuntu with Unity? How are they working together?
[11:27] <Pici> gansteed: seems that way. Ubuntu is multiarch these days though, so you can just install and run it in your 64-bit install if thats all you need.
[11:28] <MacroMan> Wow, mounting an LVM drive is a right pain in the wotsit
[11:29] <ikonia> MaxFrames: it's straightforward
[11:30] <gansteed> Pici: yeah, I should compile it myself.
[11:30] <lotuspsychje> Marezz: install 14.04 and see for yourself
[11:30] <OpenTokix> MacroMan: what? lvm is the win
[11:31] <MacroMan> OpenTokix, Just find it odd that Ubuntu can boot and use an LVM drive, but to mount a secondary lvm drive I have to install lvm2
[11:32] <OpenTokix> MacroMan: yes, ofc.
[11:33] <ikonia> MacroMan: if you can boot from an lvm disk - you don't have to install anything
[11:35] <OpenTokix> ikonia: no, he is correct - to handle the lv's and vg's you need to install lvm2
[11:35] <ikonia> OpenTokix: right, but if he can boot and mount an lvm disk - it's already there
[11:36] <OpenTokix> ikonia: Actually no - i have had the problem he is talking about. - you can mount it, but dont do anything like activate it - it is kinda weird actually. - Did not inspect it further.
[11:36] <OpenTokix> ikonia: I think for th boot, it is included in the initrd
[11:36] <ikonia> OpenTokix: you can't mount a non-active volume
[11:36] <OpenTokix> But no userspace tools
[11:36] <g105b> I clicked the "power off drive" button in Disks utility for a USB drive, and now when I plug the drive back in there is nothing mounted... how can I undo that action?
[11:36] <OpenTokix> Not sure how it is done
[11:40] <MichaelHabib> hi again, is there a way to  include a file in  grub.cfg  ?
[11:44] <xreal> What was the security website to download the LTS kernels as deb?
[11:45] <ikonia> it's the repo in your sources.list
[11:45] <ikonia> so it depends which repo mirror your using
[11:47] <floatmastaflex> why is my system telling me I can't access /data as the ubuntu user when I've chown'd the dir to ubuntu and opened up all permissions to the world?
[11:47] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: show us the permissions in a pastebin
[11:48] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks!
[11:48] <geirha> floatmastaflex: And if it's really /some/longer/path/to/data   then you must make sure the ubuntu user also has execute access to each directory component
[11:49] <bugtraq> hola
[11:49] <floatmastaflex> ikonia drwxrwxrwx 4 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Dec 9 09:09 data
[11:49] <bugtraq> hi
[11:49] <floatmastaflex> literally 777 on /data
[11:49] <GeorgeJ> I'm trying to configure my network for IPv6. I've setup my router for stateful DHCPv6. However, Ubuntu seems to change the DUID, can I do something to prevent this?
[11:49] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: and what is the command you are running
[11:50] <floatmastaflex> cd /data
[11:50] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: and what is the error ?
[11:50] <floatmastaflex> -bash: cd: /data: Permission denied
[11:51] <floatmastaflex> actually, when i do ls -la I get this:
[11:51] <bugtraq> Hello , I have a problem with my wifi adapter Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter ( rev 01) , someone can give me a hand?
[11:51] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: how did you mount this
[11:51] <floatmastaflex> ls: cannot access /data: Permission denied
[11:51] <floatmastaflex> d????????? ? ? ? ? ? data
[11:52] <digitsm> Hello
[11:52] <digitsm> I have a problem in my Ubuntu
[11:53] <digitsm> The max cpu frequency in my ubuntu get limited to 800MHz after some time of working
[11:53] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: how did you mount this
[11:53] <floatmastaflex> ikonia mhddfs /dev/sdb,/dev/sdc /data
[11:53] <OpenTokix> digitsm: it is the speedstep power saving mechanic, it will scale up when you need it
[11:53] <digitsm> And I can't increase the max CPU freq afterward
[11:53] <digitsm> OpenTokix, No it won't
[11:53] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: mhddfs ??
[11:53] <OpenTokix> digitsm: How did you try it?
[11:53] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: why are you trying to mount 2 device files to 1 mount point
[11:54] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: why are you mounting devices files rather than partitions ?
[11:54] <digitsm> OpenTokix, I have CPU Freq monitor plugin on my XFCE panel
[11:54] <bugtraq> ayuda mi wifi no anda alguien que me pueda dar una mano
[11:54] <digitsm> And I can see what freq the cpu is using now
[11:55] <OpenTokix> digitsm: yes, but did you do something that requeired lots of cpu work?
[11:55] <bugtraq> Help my wifi does not walk someone who can give me a hand
[11:55] <OpenTokix> digitsm: a chatclient is not using much cpu
[11:55] <xreal> Isn't there any newer kernel than 3.2 for "precise"?
[11:55] <floatmastaflex> ikonia it shouldn't matter, but I needed a quick way to use all the space provided by both epheremeral disks as if they were a single dir (AWS)
[11:55] <OpenTokix> digitsm: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ <-- you can adjust values for the cpufreq here.
[11:55] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: it does matter
[11:55] <iptable> bugtraq: wifi doesn't walk, it flies :D Sorry, I just had to.
[11:55] <floatmastaflex> ikonia tell me how it matters
[11:55] <iptable> bugtraq: what is the wifi chipset? lsusb to find out.
[11:56] <digitsm> OpenTokix, After some work (many open firefox tabs, etc) cpu temperature goes up, until some point when the max cpu freq gets limited
[11:56] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: because you don't mount multiple disks to one mount point
[11:56] <ikonia> the file system will not be aware of spanning the two disks
[11:56] <OpenTokix> digitsm: ok, maybe you have cooling problems?
[11:56] <floatmastaflex> ikonia this does not matter to me in this case
[11:56] <iptable> unless using btrfs, which can be aware or spanning across 2 disks.
[11:56] <floatmastaflex> i literally have no reason to care about this
[11:56] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: it does matter
[11:56] <floatmastaflex> no
[11:57] <floatmastaflex> it doesn't matter for my application
[11:57] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: I'm not fully aware of mhddfs so can't give you specifics
[11:57] <digitsm> OpenTokix, Hmmm, in that case after my laptop getting cool for some time, max cpu freq must go up again
[11:57] <digitsm> OpenTokix, But it doesn't
[11:57] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: mhddfs seems to suggest you mount directories, NOT device files
[11:58] <digitsm> OpenTokix, I feel after max freq getting limited, it stuck in that situation for ever
[11:58] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: you are mounting devices, not partitions, and looking at the docs you don't mount disks/devices with it, you mount already mounted directories
[11:58] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: so I think it does matter
[11:58] <rfxchlx> does anybody know a good documentation webpage for creating a debian package from a tarball file?
[11:58] <[Arab]> Any geeky teen boys here who are interested? lol
[11:58] <Pici> rfxchlx: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ is a good place to start
[11:58] <ikonia> [Arab]: not in this channel please
[11:59] <[Arab]> ikonia: lol
[11:59] <floatmastaflex> ikonia i am glad you told me that. it definitely solved my issue
[11:59] <ikonia> [Arab]: not laughing
[11:59] <OpenTokix> digitsm: I would start by adjusting settings for the governor, and if its emergency scaling due to heat, you have problems with your hardware and its not a software problem
[11:59] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: really ?
[11:59] <floatmastaflex> no
[11:59] <cfhowlett> [Arab], take that mess elsewhere
[11:59] <[Arab]> cfhowlett: ok fine
[11:59] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: try it with directories rather than device files
[11:59] <[Arab]> lol
[11:59] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: see if iactually works
[11:59] <iptable> bugtraq: answered in PM. In short, that chip does not work.
[12:00] <digitsm> OpenTokix, How could I change my default governor from "ondemand" to "performance"?
[12:00] <OpenTokix> digitsm: yes
[12:00] <digitsm> OpenTokix, yes what?
[12:01] <OpenTokix> digitsm: yes performance
[12:01] <digitsm> OpenTokix, but how?
[12:01] <digitsm> with what command?
[12:01] <MichaelHabib> Q: can i use  UUID instead of (hdx,y)  in this Grub2 Menu Entry  loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
[12:01] <MichaelHabib> Also, can I use UUID instead of the (hdx,y) format ? I will be moving alot of my harddrives around now and want a way to make booting OS's and iso's easier
[12:01] <digitsm> or setting?
[12:01] <OpenTokix> echo foo > /path/to/bar
[12:01] <OpenTokix> as root
[12:02] <Pici> OpenTokix: Thats not very helpful... if you don't know, you can just say that.
[12:02] <digitsm> OpenTokix, OK thanks. I will do remaining things with Google's help
[12:03] <OpenTokix> Pici: I know perfectly well how to, but if he cant navigate the proc filesystem by himself, he should not change values there. - Some sanitation in the recommendations.
[12:03] <OpenTokix> Pici: But I guess you want me to give some sudo paste-item here
[12:04] <iptable> MichaelHabib: yes. inux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=71f08932-5b0d-41b6-9738-1278769b9619 ro   quiet splash $vt_handoff
[12:04] <digitsm> OpenTokix, If I could disable intel speed-step and set cpu freq to max for all time it would be great
[12:04] <digitsm> But I think it's not possbile
[12:04] <orlock> Does Unsupported mean releases are wiped from mirrors?
[12:04] <iptable> MichaelHabib: you need a search first. search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 71f08932-5b0d-41b6-9738-1278769b9619
[12:05] <OpenTokix> digitsm: yes, you change it to performance, or just disable speedsteop in bio s
[12:05] <OpenTokix> bios
[12:05] <iptable> digitsm: it would not be great. it would shorten the lifespan of your CPU and if using a laptop, reduce battery life
[12:06] <bilgebuyucu> hi
[12:06] <iptable> digitsm: but if you want it, as OpenTokix said, it's a BIOS option
[12:06] <digitsm> OpenTokix, I tried disabling speed-step in bios, but then it said if I disable speed-step, the bios will set cpu-freq to min!!!
[12:06] <digitsm> No way to set it to max!
[12:07] <MichaelHabib> iptable:  is this the correct format ?      search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 0000000000    or should it be   set=root=uuid=0000000  at the end ?
[12:07] <floatmastaflex> ikonia it's because I mounted the super dir as root
[12:08] <floatmastaflex> so magical
[12:08] <digitsm> P.S. I have an old Dell Latitude D-830 laptop
[12:08] <Atomic_9y9G3> hi
[12:11] <ph007> ...
[12:11] <ph007> can i ask?
[12:12] <lotuspsychje> !ask | ph007
[12:13] <iptable> MichaelHabib: the format I gave you
[12:13] <ph007> what is LTS?
[12:14] <ph007> im noob
[12:14] <iptable> Long Term Support ph007
[12:14] <Pici> !lts
[12:14] <iptable> ph007: it means you won't have to reinstall your OS for 5 years from release date as all security patches will be provided. as opposed to non-lts, which is short-lived
[12:15] <johnnyreb__> Latest is 11.10
[12:15] <cfhowlett> johnnyreb__, FALSE.  latest is 14.04.1
[12:15] <ph007> what if LTS is end?
[12:16] <iptable> ph007: you upgrade to the latest LTS
[12:16] <iptable> ph007: or reinstall to it if you prefer.
[12:16] <iptable> ph007: if your windows 98 support ends, you install xp and so forth
[12:16] <johnnyreb__> http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.10/
[12:16] <cfhowlett> ph007, 12.04 is LTS, still supported.  14.04 is the latest LTS, also supported
[12:16] <aphx> Hello!
[12:17] <cfhowlett> johnnyreb__, lastest LTS = 14.04.1
[12:17] <johnnyreb__> LTS --- Opps
[12:17] <ikonia> floatmastaflex: did it actually work with device files then ?
[12:17] <ph007> ah ok thx
[12:19] <santhosh> hai how to add domain users in sudoers file on ubuntu
[12:19] <MichaelHabib> iptable: any idea how can I make grub2 stop on error so I can see the message ? right now if there is an error in my menu entry it just flashes and reboot .
[12:20] <Chuck_Norris> santhosh: admin users?
[12:20] <santhosh> just normal users
[12:21] <iptable> MichaelHabib: sounds like kernel error, not grub. grub would failback to initramfs
[12:21] <santhosh> %domain name\username this is correct way
[12:21] <santhosh> or not
[12:21] <iptable> normal users to sudoers? hmmmm
[12:22] <iptable> MichaelHabib: not sure atm, and it's past my lunch time, so I'm gonna split. someone can pick that up. ask without highlight.
[12:22] <Pici> Personally, I prefer to add groups to the sudoers file, so I don't need to muck around in there any more than necessary,
[12:23] <MichaelHabib> iptable: np, and ty for your help this far, enjoy ;)
[12:23] <iptable> cheers, no worries :)
[12:23] <Chuck_Norris> santhosh: srt idk about that, but if you want to add users to your sistem you may want to use command: adduser ro so
[12:24] <Chuck_Norris> or* so
[12:26] <crazydiamond> Hi. Can anyone suggest how to convert single flac file to mp3 (not flac+cue)?
[12:27] <fidel_> crazydiamond: soundconverter is a small converter coming with an ui
[12:27] <johnnyreb__> #lsit
[12:28] <cfhowlett> crazydiamond, avconv
[12:28] <cfhowlett> crazydiamond, or audacity ...
[12:30] <Marezz> Does Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 hav ads in any way and does it gather data about its user?
[12:30] <Marezz> *have
[12:30] <tmofee> ive never seen ads
[12:31] <crazydiamond> fidel_, cfhowlett thanks!
[12:31] <ikonia> Marezz: it does not have adverts
[12:31] <tmofee> apart from the web, of course ;)
[12:31] <cfhowlett> crazydiamond, happy2help
[12:31] <johnnyreb__> can anyone recommend a good anominizer
[12:32] <Marezz> It wont show any ads in that search thingy/menu/lense or what its called?
[12:32] <cfhowlett> Marezz, "lens"
[12:32] <veto> Why can't I use the /admin command? I see it in the ubuntu club... Forgive my ignorance
[12:32] <Marezz> Sorry, lens :)
[12:33] <Pici> veto: What would you expect that command to do?
[12:33] <cfhowlett> Marezz, only the unity interface uses lenses.  you could use any number of alternates: xfce4, lxde, kde, gnome       being the most readily available
[12:33] <veto> Just test?
[12:33] <ikonia> thats not adverts though either
[12:33] <ikonia> thats search recommendations based on your search
[12:34] <veto> Pici:I thick it would show some message, but actually it shows nothing
[12:35] <Marezz> cfhowlett, thanks. So you recommend gnome flavor?
[12:35] <Pici> veto: I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with this command. Is it something that you've used on Ubuntu before? What information did you get previously?
[12:36] <cfhowlett> Marezz, I don't but only because ubuntustudio uses xfce4 instead.  they are easy to test and have full-blown official ubuntu releases.  sudo apt-get install kde-plasma xfde4 lxde       (not sure how to get gnome)
[12:37] <cfhowlett> Marezz, if you have a preference for any of them, consider installing the full distro
[12:37] <cfhowlett> *xfce4* not xfde4
[12:38] <Chuck_Norris> Marezz: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[12:38] <veto> Pici:No... I see that command in the ubuntu bbs for new hand and I just want to test what I'll get
[12:39] <veto> Pici:Anyway, thank you~
[12:39]  * cfhowlett wishes there were standardization of package names ...
[12:39] <Marezz> cfhowlett, once again thanks, I will have that in mind, I am currently searching a distro and a DE that agrees well with games and my AMD R9 270X graphic card
[12:40] <chrisss123456> hey guys, silly boot questoin: i have a windows 8 partition that i kept while installing ubuntu. it came up initially on grub but now its gone... (there is still the windows security boot option, but then it says "image not found"
[12:40] <chrisss123456> any ideas?
[12:40] <Chuck_Norris> Marezz: well, try not to use DE that use compiz -.-
[12:41] <cfhowlett> Marezz, amd ... you'll find that of the big 3 = intel, nvidia, amd = AMD is still, sadly, the least linux-friendly.
[12:41] <tmofee> ive heard windows 8 especially doesnt play well with machines with other OSes installed... i cant remember the trick but you need to convince it that its the primary partition
[12:41] <Marezz> Chuck_Norris; hehehe, speaking from experience? :)
[12:41] <Chuck_Norris> Marezz: xD yep
[12:41] <chrisss123456> tmofee: mmh, ok. how would i go about doing that? i still want to use ubuntu mainly though...
[12:42] <tmofee> do you have a spare hard disc you could install??? personally find it easier to install an OS on each disc and when booting just select via BIOS
[12:42] <chrisss123456> tmofee: thats not ideal for a laptop though :/
[12:43] <tmofee> ahh laptop, sorry.. yeah... hmmmm give me a few seconds i see if i can find anything online
[12:44] <Chuck_Norris> Marezz: and... last thougt try SteamOS :p they got some good overall improvements
[12:45] <tmofee> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/dual-boot-windows-8-ubuntu.html im not too sure how well this is.. personally i HATE all the partition stuff .. especially when you introduce ubuntu into the mix... so headachey ;)
[12:45] <tmofee> i used to run mac os/win7/ and lubuntu on my macbook air.. i ended up wiping it recently and just sharing between 7 and mac lol
[12:52] <Lunario> hi guys. i want to start a vnc connection over the internet. if I want to access the vnc server from my local network I just need to connect to local.ip.address:displaynumber (e.g. 192.168.0.2:1). What do I need to do in order to connect to it over my online ip address? i tried with both [ipaddress]:1 and with [ipaddress]:5900 but neither worked
[12:53] <orlock> set up a port forward?
[12:53] <Lunario> would it be port 5900?
[12:53] <orlock> yeah
[12:53] <orlock> i think
[12:53] <Lunario> will try that, thanks
[12:57] <littlebit> hi people, I have installed in the additional drivers section my nvidia driver, and now after rebooting I do not have that xubuntu logo with that animated circle anymore. Is there a way how to restore that?
[13:03] <Langri-Sha> is there a page which lists mirrors for http://archive.ubuntu.com?
[13:06] <digitsm> OpenTokix, Hello again. I disable speed-step and now freq of cpu of my laptop is always on 2.19GHz
[13:07] <Okitain> littlebit: unfortunately Nvidia doesn't support KMS, which means no fancy stuff while booting
[13:07] <littlebit> Okitain: ah ok
[13:08] <digitsm> And it got even cooler! Which is weird. I am running mprime CPU stress test now the cpu temp doesn't go upper than 55 degree Celsius.
[13:09] <digitsm> But when speedstep technology was enabled, temp could go up to 70 degree under load
[13:09] <digitsm> I don't understand why intel even implemented speedstep in my cpu!
[13:09] <Ben64> it is likely the temperatures are not correctly being reported
[13:10] <digitsm> Ben64, I get the temp using "Sensors" command
[13:10] <Ben64> digitsm: ok?
[13:11] <digitsm> Ben64, I think so
[13:11] <Ben64> digitsm: i don't see how that contradicts what i said
[13:12] <digitsm> Ben64, I am not sure speedstep is only for reducing heat, but more for reducing power consumption by lowering voltage
[13:12] <Ben64> digitsm: its both
[13:13] <digitsm> However it can be done by using "nop" assembly codes too, which OS does automatically when idel
[13:13] <digitsm> *idle
[13:13] <MichaelK> I have never seen so many people leaving the windows OS, and installing linux in these times.. WOW
[13:13] <Ben64> digitsm: not the same at all
[13:14] <digitsm> Ben64, I have a Dell Latitude D830, with Intel T7500, with 2.2GHz at max. Now it's at 2.19GHz, speedstep is off, and it is cool and running very smooth
[13:15] <MichaelK> digitsm: cool..
[13:15] <digitsm> Ben64, There is something else about my laptop too. My fan always turns at highest speed. Because my fan is now connected to 5v DC after my motherboard got repaired after a failure
[13:16] <tmofee> i need win os for my games, but my two older machines run lubuntu... i knew they couldnt handle win 7 and they shouldnt stop being used anymore just because theyre old
[13:16] <MichaelK> I'm running NetRunner 14 on a Dell Optiplex 7010, and it's running great...  I did have PC-BSD 10.1 installed on it.
[13:17] <tmofee> just for shits and giggles, as part of my work we have these ancient pentiums for a contract with 128 MB of ram that still run a basic software with nt 4.0 ... i managed to get damn small linux running on it,
[13:17] <digitsm> So fan speed chipset (which increases fan speed in case of increased heat/load) is useless. So even at highest frequencies, my fan turns at highest speed and so cpu keeps cool
[13:17] <digitsm> But it got noisy!
[13:18] <Ben64> digitsm: cool? try to keep on topic here though. if you'd like to chat, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:19] <littlebit> Okitain: but how come do I have better performance when playing an mkv file with vlc with the nvidia drivers than the nouveau?
[13:20] <digitsm> Ben64, I was talking about cpu freq of my laptop. First I thought it's ubuntu's fault. Now I turned speedstep and found that it's more about my cpu/bios/heat-exhausting
[13:20] <Ben64> littlebit: because of vdpau and hardware acceleration
[13:20] <digitsm> It was not offtopic
[13:20] <digitsm> But anyway thanks
[13:21] <tmofee> i think he was talking about me being off topic :P
[13:22] <Ben64> digitsm: 4 lines about how you think its better to have a basic cpu functionality disabled and how you have your fan macgyver'd is not really related to ubuntu at all
[13:22] <digitsm> Ben64, OK
[13:23] <digitsm> Ben64, The only strange thing was how turning off speedstep could make things cooler. It's weird for me
[13:24] <digitsm> Ben64, But sorry for being too chatty
[13:24] <digitsm> Anyway thanks all for your helps
[13:25] <Ben64> digitsm: back to my original point -- it is likely the temperatures are not correctly being reported
[13:25] <digitsm> Ben64, How could I know the correct temps?
[13:25] <Ben64> by physically measuring the cpu
[13:26] <digitsm> Ben64, It's impossible
[13:26] <Ben64> pretty much, yep. don't trust what software says

[14:09] <m1dnight_> i.e, 2 uploads simultaneously
[14:10] <m1dnight_> or 3 or 4..
[14:10] <chrisss123456> explosive: ooh it says: "mount: can't find /dev/sda6/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
[14:10] <explosive> chrisss123456: mind the space between sda6 and /mnt
[14:10] <chrisss123456> explosive: ah.
[14:10] <chrisss123456> explosive: done.
[14:10] <explosive> m1dnight_: yes

[14:12] <chrisss123456> explosive: done :)
[14:13] <explosive> chrisss123456: update-grub
[14:13] <explosive> windows 8 should have a .efi file that loads it up called bootmgfw.efi
[14:13] <chrisss123456> explosive: ok :) working...
[14:13] <chrisss123456> is it done?
[14:14] <m1dnight_> iirc you should disable quickboot too, on windows 8, correct me if i'm wrong
[14:14] <explosive> chrisss123456: did it say anything about the windows 8 loader?
[14:15] <chrisss123456> explosive: nope. m1dnight_: thanks :) how do i do that?
[14:15] <chrisss123456> explosive: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9442193/
[14:15] <xyzwhatever> when I type mount blablabla and restart computer drive is no longer mounted why the f....???
[14:15] <m1dnight_> http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6320-fast-startup-turn-off-windows-8-a.html
[14:16] <xyzwhatever> how do i make it permanent?
[14:16] <m1dnight_> also, explosive what about the boot-repair tool? it always solved my issues..
[14:16] <m1dnight_> not sure though, havent been following the entire conversation
[14:16] <explosive> chrisss123456: if you type ls /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot do you see a bootmgfw.efi file?
[14:17] <chrisss123456> explosive: still while under root?
[14:17] <chrisss123456> i see nothing
[14:17] <explosive> chrisss123456: sorry, ls /boot/efi/EFI...
[14:18] <chrisss123456> explosive: yes i see one :)
[14:19] <ackwood> hi everyone
[14:19] <explosive> chrisss123456: ok, out of curiosity, what's the output of efibootmgr -v ?
[14:19] <chrisss123456> explosive: ha. gotta paste that. what does it do?
[14:19] <ackwood> are all /etc/default files generated after installation, or are they included in the package?
[14:20] <chrisss123456> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9442216/
[14:21] <explosive> chrisss123456: it shows the entries in the boot manager
[14:22] <explosive> chrisss123456: grub isn't picking up the windows .efi file for some reason
[14:22] <explosive> chrisss123456: and i think you're missing some files, i'd try to reinstall grub, if you want
[14:23] <chrisss123456> explosive: mmh :( i tried to reinstall grub. should i do it from root though? i hadnt before
[14:23] <explosive> chrisss123456: is it a 64bit machine?
[14:23] <chrisss123456> explosive: yes
[14:24] <genericum> i forgot my root password .. how do i change it ? for some reason /etc/passwd is unchanged after i passwd ...
[14:24] <explosive> chrisss123456: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[14:24] <genericum> and su doesn't work as well ..
[14:24] <explosive> genericum: your root password? or your username's password?
[14:24] <genericum> explosive: root password

[14:27] <explosive> chrisss123456: what are the options?

[14:32] <sidi> Hi there, have you released the results of your 2014 user survey yet?
[14:32] <chrisss123456> explosive: ok
[14:33] <explosive> chrisss123456: it's asking whether to change /etc/default/grub or not

[14:34] <cfhowlett> !ot | sidi,
[14:34] <explosive> chrisss123456: did it mention the windows 8 loader by any chance?

[14:38] <ag4ve_> is there a sendmail type thing that will logger everything run in sendmail?
[14:39] <Mathis> hey
[14:39] <xyzwhatever> lol you cant??
[14:39] <xyzwhatever> oops wrong chat
[14:40] <Mathis> can anyone of you give me a hint what to disable so that no service or anything in Ubuntu 14.04 does any communication to the outside world while having just the desktop and firefox running?
[14:41] <Glorfindel> Mathis: unplug the internet
[14:41] <Mathis> good. next point?
[14:41] <Glorfindel> or do you want firefox to connect?
[14:41] <Mathis> I wanted to create some kind of kiosk client
[14:41] <Mathis> just firefox showing one website, nothing else
[14:42] <cfhowlett> Mathis, configure your router: one url allowed
[14:42] <GeekDude> How long does it take to mount a floppy O_o
[14:42] <Mathis> cannot configure outgoing traffic
[14:42] <Mathis> only incoming
[14:42] <Glorfindel> GeekDude: five seconds?
[14:42] <GeekDude> well then I must've done something wrong
[14:43] <Mathis> wait, also cannot configure incoming traffic
[14:43] <teward> Mathis: if you can't control the in/out traffic at all, then you can't achieve your goal
[14:43] <Mathis> I am using a UMTS stick for connecting to the internet
[14:44] <Mathis> teward: I want to control it by shutting down the services which are responsible for that unwanted traffic
[14:45] <teward> Mathis: you'd have to hunt and peck at the services, some of which are auto-updates, and some which will likely require hacking away at the core software set to remove the functionality.  Have you even identified the services which are causing the unwanted traffic?
[14:45] <Mathis> no, not yet
[14:45] <teward> Mathis: that's your first step
[14:45] <Mathis> thought there is an official list
[14:46] <cfhowlett> Mathis, WAY too many variables to make a standard list.  check your services
[14:46] <Mathis> its a default installation, so there are nearly no variables
[14:46] <teward> Mathis: there's an infinite number of variables, and it's impossible to make a standard list, that's why i said you have to hunt and peck to find the services generating the traffic
[14:47] <Mathis> I didnt install anything beside the default image
[14:47] <teward> Mathis: you might also want to look at this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/07/create-ubuntu-kiosk
[14:47] <Mathis> cool, thanks :-)
[14:47] <teward> neither of the guides on that link though are for the faint hearted
[14:48] <teward> http://thepcspy.com/read/converting-ubuntu-desktop-to-kiosk/ is probably what you want, going from Desktop to Kiosk
[14:48] <teward> Mathis: back up critical data first, though - these things might explode
[14:48] <Mathis> I have no critical data on my client
[14:49] <teward> Mathis: note though the same page says it's probably better to start with Server and build up
[14:49] <teward> rather than Desktop and cut away at it
[14:49] <teward> Mathis:http://thepcspy.com/read/building-a-kiosk-computer-ubuntu-1404-chrome/is a from-scratch method though
[14:50] <teward> Mathis: either method is not for the faint of heart and will take some time and configuration
[14:51] <DemHydraz> Hey
[14:52] <Mathis> teward: I think, I am fine with my current kiosk mode, but thanks :-)
[14:53] <DemHydraz> i've just recently installed Ubuntu GNOME 3.14 in my laptop, and after installing Numix Project's elegance-colors theme, my X server just.. broke
[14:54] <DemHydraz> There are no logs, anywhere. Sometimes it boots to low-graphics mode, sometimes it hangs on the splash screen. Re-installing gdm didn't help. Removing the package did not help too
[14:54] <Tondinahk> i tried ubuntu gnome 3.14 myself. everything works fine, but the notification system is quite uncomfortable.
[14:54] <Tondinahk> DemHydraz, i think you have a hardware specific problems
[14:55] <DemHydraz> dammit, it's 14.10, I got confused with something else. When I first installed, it was working fine.
[14:55] <Tondinahk> 3.14 is still beta u know.
[14:55] <Tondinahk> no official way to install it :)
[14:55] <DemHydraz> dammit, it's 14.10, I got confused with something else. When I first installed, it was working fine.
[14:56] <DemHydraz> Tondinahk, ^
[14:57] <Tondinahk> DemHydraz, gnome 3.14 is beta, Ubuntu 14.10 is just using latest and not always greatest. My main system is xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[14:57] <Tondinahk> Working fine as a workstation and temp. server.
[14:57] <cfhowlett> DemHydraz, bleeding edge = bloody edge
[14:59] <DemHydraz> What do you mean with that? I'm not using a beta version.. ffs people
[14:59] <chrisss123456> hey guys, does anyone know how to implement a patch? (silly question)
[14:59] <teward> chrisss123456: download the software, patch it, recompile, install?
[14:59] <DemHydraz> When I said Ubuntu GNOME 3.14 i was reading a comment about that so I got confused. I meant Ubuntu GNOME 14.10
[15:00] <chrisss123456> teward: how do i patch it though :/ its really basic i know but i just dont know how
[15:00] <somsip> chrisss123456: http://jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html
[15:02] <DemHydraz> gah, I'll reinstall this thing
[15:03] <fx11> hi, how to change dpi?
[15:09] <cfhowlett> fx11, settings > appearance
[15:14] <Andedam> Hey, I have a bit of a funny problem. I am using a Logitech Ultrathin Mouse (T630) on Bluetooth and from time to time sequences of numbers 6 7 or 3 gets spammed like a key was stuck. When I turn the mouse off the spamming stops. Im running Ubuntu 14.10 and Gnome Shell. I wondered if anyone ever have had a similar problem?
[15:16] <james_woods> I have an ubunut 14.04.1 LTS server machine that does not respond to pings on a specific interface, ufw firewall is disabled.
[15:16] <james_woods> I can see the pings coming in via tcpdump
[15:16] <DemHydraz> ubunut.
[15:16] <DemHydraz> heheh
[15:16] <ikonia> how are you connecting to it ?
[15:16] <ikonia> over the public internet ? local network ?
[15:16] <james_woods> and I can see no response going out again
[15:16] <james_woods> local network
[15:16] <james_woods> I am ON the machine, running tcpdump on the machine
[15:16] <varunok> hello
[15:16] <ikonia> is there a route out on that interface on the server ?
[15:18] <james_woods> ikonia: yes two routes, let me check with our network administrator
[15:18] <james_woods> ikonia: because both take the standard gateway which should be fine
[15:18] <james_woods> ikonia: but I will make sure
[15:19] <james_woods> ikonia: nevertheless should'nt I see the outgoing response on the standard gateway?
[15:19] <DemHydraz> i've just recently installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.10 in my laptop, and after installing Numix Project's elegance-colors theme, my X server just.. broke. There are no logs, anywhere. Sometimes it boots to low-graphics mode, sometimes it hangs on the splash screen. Re-installing gdm didn't help. Removing the package did not help too. GDM was working fine before installing said broken theme package. Said theme package can be found in
[15:19] <DemHydraz> ppa:satyajit-happy/themes, gnome-shell-theme-elegance-colors is the name.
[15:20] <ikonia> james_woods: no
[15:20] <ikonia> james_woods: check the specific route back to the network the ping is coming from
[15:22] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: paste dmesg -k --level=err,warn
[15:22] <james_woods> ikonia: thank you, will do
[15:23] <Sansay> Hey guys, when i try to run apt-get update or apt-get install i get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the probm. I believe it was caused by me accidently closing an install incorrectly, i think it tried to open some gui and i used ctr z to kill it, what happens if i run that command?
[15:24] <DemHydraz> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9442936/ Chuck_Norris
[15:25] <Sansay_> sorry about that i got disconnected
[15:25] <juned> hi
[15:25] <Tigerken> You haven't missed an answer
[15:25] <Tigerken> :)
[15:25] <Sansay_> thanks :)
[15:25] <Tigerken> But I can't help either, I'm a linux newbie myself
[15:25] <DemHydraz> Sansay_, from man dpkg:
[15:26] <DemHydraz> --configure package ... |-a|
[15:27] <DemHydraz> Configure a package which has been unpacked but not yet configured. If -a is given instead of package, all unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured.
[15:27] <Sansay_> oh its basicalyl saying i need to finish configuring that package?
[15:27] <DemHydraz> yep
[15:27] <Sansay_> well thats pretty awesome lol
[15:27] <Sansay_> thought ibroke everything
[15:28] <DemHydraz> If you Ctrl+C in the middle of installation or closed the software center, aptitude, etc, etc, chances are it'll leave loads of packages unconfigured
[15:28] <Sansay_> it was saying type `exit'
[15:28] <Sansay_> to exit when done and it wouldnt work lol
[15:28] <Sansay_> i tried exit too
[15:29] <ToTheInternet> 0 5 * * * /var/www/svs/protected/yiic vulnerabilityscanner run
[15:29] <Sansay_> everything works now thanks guys!
[15:29] <DemHydraz> No problem'o.
[15:29] <ToTheInternet> will this entry ^ work in crontab?
[15:29] <DemHydraz> remember: man is your help
[15:29] <ToTheInternet> even though it has arguments?
[15:29] <DemHydraz> Chuck_Norris, progress?
[15:29] <DemHydraz> Possibly
[15:29] <DemHydraz> Yes, ToTheInternet
[15:30] <ToTheInternet> At first i put the whole "/var/www...... run" thing in double quotes, i guess that's why it didn't work
[15:31] <DemHydraz> no quotes, no
[15:31] <ToTheInternet> awesome
[15:31] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: no no, mmm... i had a bug in gnome-shell too, it was something like that but, it is not your case, althoug your case may be related to graphic drivers i don't think a theme could do that, but...
[15:32] <DemHydraz> I don't know what drivers are installed in this machine. Would the dpkg -l description of a driver package say driver?
[15:33] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: it could greping it, but, better do a: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -a3 | grep 'in use'
[15:34] <DemHydraz> It said "Kernel driver in use: i915".
[15:34] <DF3D2> so I went from an amd card to an nvidia, installed the drivers okay... Xrandr claims i'm at 1920x1080 but all the test is MASSIVE
[15:34] <rprakash>  /join #openstack-meeting-alt
[15:35] <DemHydraz> Greping dpkg -l to filter out the intel video drivers returned xserver-xorg-video-intel. Should I reinstall that? also, if it was a driver issue, wouldn't it break lightdm too?
[15:35] <Tigerken> Is it normal to have 20 running pids of Viber?
[15:36] <DemHydraz> Tigerken, no.
[15:37] <Tigerken> That's what I thought... :D
[15:37] <DemHydraz> Killall the vibers.
[15:37] <DemHydraz> (quite literally)
[15:38] <DemHydraz> Chuck_Norris, that command said "Kernel driver in use: i915", greping dpkg -l returned the package xserver-xorg-video-intel
[15:38] <DemHydraz> also, if it was a driver issue, wouldn't it break lightdm too?
[15:39] <Tigerken> But that's when I look at htop.. when I do "ps aux | grep viber" there's only 1 pid
[15:39] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: edit "/etc/default/grub" and remove "quiet splash"  from:  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=   so it will be:  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""   and reboot to and see where it's hang or if there is any problems
[15:40] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: then you could try some graphic PPA to see if solve the problem, or upgrading the kernel 3.18 just came out -.-
[15:40] <xyzwhatever> I WANT TO HAVE RIGHT CLICK OPEN TERMINAL WHY ISNT IT THERE
[15:40] <Chuck_Norris> if that is the problem
[15:40] <TimeVIrus> How do I know of my wifi driver is installed while I'm connected through eth0? unplug the cable? boohiss
[15:40] <DemHydraz> Alright. Will do.
[15:41] <DemHydraz> Don't I need to update grub or something?
[15:41] <cfhowlett> !caps | xyzwhatever,
[15:41] <TimeVIrus> I'm running from live usb at the moment
[15:41] <Tigerken> xyzwhatever, you can just do control + alt + t?
[15:41] <xyzwhatever> oh ok thx Tigerken
[15:42] <xyzwhatever> not thats not it, Tigerken  i want the terminal to open the folder where i click it like in lubuntu
[15:42] <Tigerken> oh!
[15:43] <DemHydraz> Chuck_Norris, it hangs on "*Stoping Send an event to indicate plymouth is up     [ OK ]
[15:44] <DemHydraz> And before that * Starting GNOME Display Manager [ ok ]
[15:44] <cfhowlett> xyzwhatever, edit your keybindings to enable that command
[15:44] <xyzwhatever> ok :/
[15:44] <DemHydraz> tty7 is completely stuck at that, no iput no anything
[15:45] <Tigerken> xyzwhatever, I have a solution
[15:45] <xyzwhatever> ???
[15:46] <Tigerken> do "sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal"
[15:46] <epyx> I run Firefox and Ubuntu Mate 14.04 on a pretty decent laptop
[15:46] <Tigerken> then logout and log back in
[15:46] <epyx> browswing the internet, especially Facebook, can be really slow
[15:46] <epyx> the scroll lags basically
[15:46] <xyzwhatever> oh nautilus
[15:46] <epyx> what could I do to fix this?
[15:46] <Tigerken> epyx, is your system up to date?
[15:47] <epyx> yes
[15:48] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: idk, can you reach gdm?
[15:48] <DemHydraz> watcha mean with that?
[15:48] <akiva-thinkpad> Ubuntu Q and A going on soon: come join #ubuntu-on-air, and tune into https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rODyNKhMqZ8
[15:48] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: the place where you enter your password
[15:49] <xyzwhatever> do i have to use sudo for stuff i put in crontab?
[15:49] <DemHydraz> ah, ok.
[15:49] <DemHydraz> nope, it hangs before it.
[15:49] <xyzwhatever> or does it have super user rights automatically?
[15:49] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: whait a minute
[15:49] <Chuck_Norris> wait*
[15:50] <Justice> is there anything like glasnot for ubuntu?
[15:50] <DemHydraz> what is glasnot?
[15:50] <TimeVIrus> is there some way to find out if my wifi driver (b43 firmware) is installed while I'm using eth0? Other than disco cat 6?
[15:50] <Justice> traffic shaping test
[15:50] <xyzwhatever> glasnost and perestroika
[15:50] <Justice> want to see if my vps is traffic shaping
[15:51] <Justice> oh glasnost not not
[15:51] <Justice> my bad
[15:51] <epyx> Firefox is also claiming 700 mb RAM for Facebook and one PDF file (4 pages)
[15:51] <Justice> i still don't know what to run to test it though
[15:51] <DemHydraz> try russia.
[15:51] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: paste:  aptitude search systemd | grep ^i
[15:51] <DemHydraz> it's tcpsomething, forgot the name
[15:51] <xyzwhatever> ask putin
[15:51] <TimeVIrus> meh
[15:52] <DemHydraz> gotta install aptitude..
[15:52] <cfhowlett> Justice, do you have a link?
[15:52] <Justice> sure

[15:53] <DF3D2> My gtk app fonts are INSANE after installing an nvidia card, and I can't seem to make them smaller. Even size "4" is MASSIVE
[15:53] <Tigerken> What should I do when I get bad header lines when I do apt-get update?
[15:54] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: can you access to a tty? and log in
[15:54] <Tigerken> or 404 not found
[15:54] <DemHydraz> Yep, I'm logged in a tty right now
[15:54] <Justice> cfhowlett: you get it?
[15:55] <DemHydraz> only way I can access the thing atm
[15:55] <issam> salut
[15:55] <cfhowlett> Justice, I did ... looking for similar functionality
[15:55] <Justice> thanks
[15:55] <Chuck_Norris> then install aptitude, and then: aptitude search systemd | grep ^i
[15:55] <DemHydraz> Yea.

[15:56] <pbx> how do i use the apt command to *preview* what would be upgraded if i ran `sudo apt upgrade`?
[15:56] <epyx> okay, blocking Flash solved a lot
[15:56] <SchrodingersScat> pbx: probably a flag to not do anything, check man apt-get
[15:56] <epyx> however pages that actively extends page (Soundcloud, Facebook) lags a lot compared to other browsers
[15:56] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: try this:  sudo apt-get install systemd-sysv    (it will remove some stuff don't worry about that)
[15:57] <SchrodingersScat> pbx: -s
[15:57] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: then, reboot
[15:57] <DemHydraz> Alright
[15:57] <DemHydraz> Installing.
[15:57] <DemHydraz> And rebooting.
[15:58] <DemHydraz> and splash screen
[15:58] <DemHydraz> and hang.
[15:59] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: then, sry, idk what else to do -.-
[15:59] <imbezol> you need to figure out why it's hanging
[15:59] <DemHydraz> I'll reinstall.
[15:59] <Justice> DemHydraz: what you trying to do? ##networking might be able to help you
[15:59] <DemHydraz> What does ##networking have to do with a hanging GDM?
[15:59] <DF3D2> My gtk app fonts are INSANE after installing an nvidia card, and I can't seem to make them smaller. Even size "4" is MASSIVE
[15:59] <Justice> DemHydraz: i dunno, they helped me with my ubuntu problems
[15:59] <pbx> SchrodingersScat, ok, thanks.  not an option for apt, only apt-get
[15:59] <DF3D2> my ~/.Xresources seems to be ignored
[16:00] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: do you see something in color red, while rebootin?
[16:00] <DemHydraz> Nope
[16:00] <DemHydraz> I'll reinstall.
[16:00] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: ok
[16:00] <DemHydraz> Thanks for all the help, gais.
[16:01] <Chuck_Norris> DemHydraz: np
[16:01] <Chuck_Norris> in the mainwhile Chuck_Norris:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9443149/   lol
[16:02] <pbx> ah, no, -s is an option for apt it's just not in the manpage :\

[16:09] <chro> hi
[16:10] <chro> I have 2 partitions in my disk, 1 ntfs, and 1 ext4 for ubuntu. Now, I realized that I don't need the ntfs partition, so I would like to merge it to my ext4 partition, without having to reinstall my ubuntu system. Is that possible?
[16:11] <cfhowlett> chro, yes.  boot an ubuntu USB.  start gparted.  delete ntfs partition.  join to ext4 partition.  but first ... BACKUP
[16:12] <chro> cfhowlett, but ntfs is the first partition, and I want to merge it to the end of ext4
[16:12] <chro> the first sectors of the disk
[16:13] <chro> is that a problem?
[16:13] <cfhowlett> chro, first sectors?  reserved for bootloaders as I recall
[16:13] <chro> ok
[16:14] <DF3D2> My dpi settings seem to be ignored, GTK fonts are huge despite telling them not to be. ~/.Xresources seems to be ignored even when I merge it
[16:14] <cfhowlett> chro, WAY easier and fast to merge partitions and reinstall
[16:14] <DF3D2> assitance por favor
[16:15] <chro> cfhowlett, reinstall the whole system?
[16:15] <_root_> does anyone have second source for http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Yosemix?content=167692
[16:15] <_root_> it is dead
[16:15] <_root_> the link
[16:15] <cfhowlett> chro, yes
[16:15] <chro> I don't believe so
[16:15] <chro> how would I do that in a fast way
[16:15] <chro> reinstalling everything
[16:16] <cfhowlett> chro, installation takes what?  20 minutes?
[16:16] <chro> cfhowlett, and installing all the programs that I have

[16:18] <cfhowlett> hariom, complete the upgrade, then do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:21] <hariom> cfhowlett: It asked once to cancle or resurrect this window. I chose resurrect but the same thing happend. If I cancel then it will reset to previous version I think
[16:21] <cfhowlett> hariom, download 14.04.1 and clean install
[16:23] <hariom> cfhowlett: It is remote server
[16:24] <cfhowlett> hariom, ow.  wow.  sorry.
[16:25] <hariom> cfhowlett: how to change the repository mirror. I think that will solve the issue.
[16:25] <LinuxGold> hi all
[16:25] <cfhowlett> hariom, sudo edit your /etc/apt/sources.list       then sudo apt-get update and proceed as "normal"

[16:29] <daftykins> earnThis: "why can i do anything" ?
[16:29] <earnThis> daftykins: cant**
[16:29] <daftykins> earnThis: no need to specify a gateway and DNS twice.
[16:30] <earnThis> daftykins: ok but shouldn't it still work though
[16:30] <LinuxGold> I updated my son's UbuntuStudio for his piano recording.. trying to figure out more ways to make it better and better -- sad to learn that audacity disabled the skin :(
[16:30] <daftykins> earnThis: well, 192.168.3.x can't talk to 192.168.1.x
[16:31] <earnThis> daftykins: the sever cant talk to the gateway?

[16:35] <TimeVIrus> guys surely you know that to communicate between two different networks, ie 192.168.3.x and .1.x that you need a router, yes?
[16:35] <TimeVIrus> depends on your mask
[16:36] <TimeVIrus> default mask for 192 network is /24
[16:36] <TimeVIrus> yes?

[16:40] <nomadist> im pretty sure something's wrong on the os side.. requests are being blocked.. because I can see in conky that download activity stops, whereas if I fire up xchat it shoots up again
[16:40] <nomadist> re: shoots up again, the downloaded bytes, not the scraper.. the scraper still hangs
[16:41] <nomadist> from the debug log I can verify that its caught in a retry loop and cannot get any more data from the web
[16:41] <nomadist> anyone have any clues?

[16:52] <axsuul> Anyone know how I can access packages for saucy? I don't see it in packages.ubuntu.com
[16:52] <cfhowlett> !saucy | axsuul
[16:53] <pbx> with 14.04, why wouldn't Thunderbird show up as an option under Settings > Details > Default Applications > Calendar?
[16:53] <axsuul> thanks cfhowlett
[16:54] <axsuul> If I wanted to get libgeocode32 for Ubuntu 13.10, where could I find that?
[16:54] <daftykins> axsuul: 13.10 is EOL, you shouldn't be using it
[16:54] <axsuul> I need to use a package from that distribution however
[16:55] <axsuul> The specific package is libgecode-dev
[16:55] <axsuul> it's buggy in 14.04
[16:55] <xangua> you need to upgrade to a maintained ubuntu release
[16:55] <cfhowlett> axsuul, 12.04 is still supported
[16:59] <ravenousj> hello?
[16:59] <LinuxGold> hi
[17:00] <ravenousj> is there any cell phone rooms?
[17:00] <ravenousj> im new at this
[17:00] <SchrodingersScat> !touch | ravenousj
[17:02] <ravenousj> have a question, how would someone completely destroy a cell phone?
[17:02] <SchrodingersScat> ravenousj: that's outside the scope of this channel, this is specifically ubuntu support.  maybe you want ##hardware ?
[17:02] <cfhowlett> ravenousj, off-topic
[17:03] <ravenousj> ok then
[17:03] <BluesKaj> ravenousj, we help ppl fix their issues, not destroy
[17:03] <compdoc> just remove teh sim card and recycle the phone
[17:03] <Justice> Hey guys, I think I may have a problem on my box with ports being closed. Not sure how to open them/perform port forwarding
[17:03] <zerick> Hi folks, how could force devices to be mounted after network start, It seems to be done with upstart but no idea how to do it.
[17:08] <Sansay> Hey guys is there a standard or most accepted way of installing mail so it works for php and shell script? do people just normally install mailutils?
[17:12] <brainacid> im little lost with sed
[17:13] <brainacid> been reading the manual and did some searching on duckduckgo but still cant get what i want
[17:14] <brainacid> i would simply like to extract, print to stdout or pipe, an email addr... i dont want the names in front of the emails, just print the string that matches @
[17:14] <daftykins> brainacid: ask in #bash
[17:15] <brainacid> daftykins, nice thanks
[17:15] <gomari> Guys has the ntsf intergration to Ubuntu been improved or it's as slow as before?
[17:16] <daftykins> gomari: i'm gonna guess you mean the Linux kernel's support for NTFS - the Windows file system?
[17:16] <gomari> Yup
[17:16] <daftykins> gomari: never had any speed issues before.
[17:16] <gomari> No it was too slow
[17:17] <daftykins> standard logic applies though, if you're using NTFS with Linux - maybe you're doing it wrong.
[17:17] <daftykins> gomari: well unless you have any metric to quantify this claim, all we'll have is your word against mine :)
[17:17] <Zerock|Work> How does one set the Java library path globally without having to launch each application from the command line? I'm trying to use the svn plugin for Eclipse, but the native libraries are not in the expected location.
[17:17] <triss> hey all. I've recently purchased a nice new shiny hp envy laptop
[17:18] <triss> the fans seem to be on a lot more on ubuntu than on windows
[17:18] <daftykins> Zerock|Work: pretty sure establishing environment variables is a step 1 of installing a java setup, perhaps find some java channels and ask some java devs for advice
[17:18] <compdoc> hurray!
[17:18] <triss> and the box isn't working very hard
[17:18] <gomari> Sure there is a metric it's the windows speed vs Ubuntu speed
[17:18] <triss> are there any nice apps that can help me figure wich fan is running and have it turned down?
[17:18] <daftykins> gomari: i'm talking about tangible proof, not your say-so :)
[17:19] <trijntje> !fan maybe | triss
[17:19] <Zerock|Work> daftykins: Well if the path is not set by default, then the software is incorrectly packaged. There should not be software that installs to an arbitrary location that does not comply with the software it intends to work with.
[17:19] <gomari> And asuming u r right and has no issues why would be wrong to install Ubuntu to a ntfs partion?
[17:20] <daftykins> Zerock|Work: maybe you've yet to log out and in? :) who knows. you've not mentioned what you've installed in much detail, still say a developer would be better to ask than a general OS channel
[17:20] <daftykins> gomari: you actually can't install Ubuntu on an NTFS partition.
[17:20] <gomari> I think i just did
[17:21] <daftykins> gomari: nope.
[17:21] <daftykins> not possible
[17:21] <SchrodingersScat> can't execute files on ntfs, afaik
[17:21] <daftykins> unless you're talking WUBI, then i shall commence laughter immediately
[17:21] <outtier> m^
[17:22] <gomari> How can i confirm my root partion type from ubuntu then?
[17:22] <daftykins> gomari: explain how you installed first, if it was WUBI (the installer from within Windows) then all bets are off
[17:23] <gomari> It was Ubuntu 12 from and i intalled it from windows not from live cd
[17:23] <k1l_> gomari: show the output of "mount" and "sudo fdisk -l" (small L at the end) in a pastebin
[17:23] <Andedam> Hey, I have a quite annoying problem. I am using a Logitech Ultrathin Mouse (T630) on Bluetooth and from time to time sequences of numbers 6 7 or 3 gets spammed like a key was stuck. When I turn the mouse off the spamming stops. Im running Ubuntu 14.10 and Gnome Shell. I wondered if anyone in here have had a similar problem and might direct me how to solve it ?
[17:23] <k1l_> gomari: so its a wubi install inside windows?
[17:23] <daftykins> gomari: yeah so that's WUBI, an absolutely horrific idea
[17:24] <k1l_> gomari: you are lucky it got that old and should not blame slow speeds at all with wubi. if you want better ubuntu performance make a real install.
[17:24] <daftykins> gomari: so truthfully, the original question should've been "how is performance with WUBI?" not performance with NTFS. the answer to that would've been "oh dear Tux don't ever use WUBI! it's an abomination!"
[17:25] <BlitzHere> I have a strange issue with font corruption. Happened a few times with no trigger I'm aware of
[17:25] <BlitzHere> http://ultraimg.com/image/5Mu4
[17:25] <BlitzHere> look at the e
[17:25] <BlitzHere> A reboot fixes it
[17:25] <BlitzHere> But it keeps happening
[17:36] <diphtherial> hello; so apparently kernel 3.18 adds support for focaltec touchpads, and indeed /proc/bus/input/devices reports that it's now being recognized as a focaltec touchpad
[17:36] <diphtherial> unfortunately it mentions that it's in ps/2 mouse emulation mode; i'd like for it not to be, so that i can toggle it on and off and use multitouch gestures with it
[17:36] <diphtherial> how do i go about configuring it?
[17:43] <trism> diphtherial: there is a really long thread at bug 1372609 might find something there
[17:45] <UTL> Hi, all! Remember my problems with the SD card not working right? I've just tried to research the problem, and I'm not getting anywhere, so I thought you might help.
[17:45] <daftykins> UTL: the one we pronounced dead?
[17:45] <diphtherial> trism: ah, yes, that thread's been my bible lately
[17:46] <diphtherial> the gist of it is that someone made a kernel patch, but 3.18 includes the change they made afaik
[17:46] <diphtherial> (i actually have a ux303ln, currently trying to overcome a host of issues)
[17:48] <UTL> daftykins, I'm not sure what you mean, but I'm talking about the problems with the SD card writing. I've got errors like "end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector #" and "mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt." and "mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data, sector 61057, nr 1024, cmd response 0x900, card status 0xc00"
[17:48] <daftykins> UTL: ah, just confusing a different user, don't worry.
[17:49] <DF3D2> so im using xrandr to set my dpi to 96, but the text isn't getting any smaller
[17:49] <DF3D2> :\
[17:49] <bubbasaures> diphtherial, You want to be aware that except for small exceptions packages outside the repos or releases are not really supported here
[17:50] <diphtherial> bubbasaures: i'm confused; is the main kernel release of 3.18 not supported?
[17:50] <diphtherial> that's what i installed this morning, as it includes the support that that patch added
[17:50] <daftykins> diphtherial: no that's not a kernel version in any stable release.
[17:51] <bubbasaures> diphtherial, Not in any release is all, just making sure you know the channel norm, people do help if that is the only option or just care.
[17:51] <ASHER1> LinuxGold
[17:51] <diphtherial> daftykins, bubbasaures: ah, thanks for letting me know. i am new here, obviously :)
[17:52] <LinuxGold> yes?
[17:52] <ASHER1> i try doing this and this install but
[17:52] <UTL> Like I've said before, it doesn't happen to Windows. I've found out that one reason might be an old laptop, but I have a fairly new laptop I got from Walmart this year, running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, with a built-in SDXC card slot
[17:52] <diphtherial> generally speaking, if you want to configure a peripheral, is there a central place to do it or does it vary by driver?
[17:52] <ASHER1> i have this gcc version 4.8.2 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1)
[17:52] <diphtherial> (let's constrain the discussion to input devices, specifically mice/touchpads, if possible)
[17:52] <bubbasaures> diphtherial, No problem, it is all good. ;)
[17:52] <ASHER1> and i try to configure something and i see error something like this libpq++.h
[17:53] <DF3D2> so Im having a problem where my dpi shows as 96 but is clearly much larger
[17:54] <LinuxGold> asher1: can you put in pastebin?
[17:54] <ASHER1> yes i can
[17:54] <LinuxGold> to make it easier  <command> | pastebinit (make sure you install pastebinit)
[17:54] <LinuxGold> and give me the url
[17:54] <ASHER1> ok
[17:54] <UTL> 3/4 of my terminal are covered with these errors about mmc0. What do I do?!?
[17:54] <bubbasaures> DF3D2, How about a screen shot.
[17:54] <daftykins> UTL: take the card out? 0o
[17:55] <DF3D2> bubbasaures, all my text is clearly around 300 DPI
[17:55] <DF3D2> yet all the command line commands show it as 96
[17:55] <UTL> I tried to kill the transferring process, but it wouldn't kill, so I just ejected.
[17:55] <ASHER1> LinuxGold
[17:56] <ASHER1> http://pastebin.com/kQeuB9P8
[17:56] <UTL> Do I wait?
[17:56] <LinuxGold> apt-get install libpq5
[17:56] <ASHER1> thanks
[17:57] <bubbasaures> DF3D2, You're description just needs way more to be helped by the channel. Like release, desktop, any possible cause and effect, was it ever normal....etc
[17:57] <LinuxGold> apt-get install libpq-dev
[17:58] <UTL> I put the card back in. It hasn't shown me the SD card icon on the Unity panel, yet.
[17:58] <DF3D2> bubbasaures, it was caused by switching from AMD binary driver to Linux binary driver.
[17:58] <UTL> It's like the process is running in the background.
[17:58] <LinuxGold> UTL: dmesg, and put SD card in and make sure it is recognized.
[17:59] <DF3D2> It was fixed by running xrandr --dpi 96 , but then on reboot that command no longer works
[17:59] <bubbasaures> DF3D2, Good info for the channel, I was just trying to get you to post enough for help.
[17:59] <UTL> Got a timeout error and this: "mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card"
[17:59] <DF3D2> You know what it seems to be some issue with Lightdm
[17:59] <DF3D2> I found this:
[18:00] <UTL> What's "error -110"?
[18:00] <ASHER1> linuxgold this for me what you write now?
[18:00] <LinuxGold> ASHER1: apt-get libpq-dev  try it
[18:00] <DF3D2> Run gksudo gedit, open /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and add a parameter under [SeatDefaults] section:
[18:00] <DF3D2> xserver-command=X -dpi 90
[18:00] <ASHER1> ok i try
[18:00] <DF3D2> and that actually sticks on reboot
[18:01] <DF3D2> it's very odd that xrandr --dpi 96 worked once, and then never again
[18:01] <ASHER1> ok it done
[18:01] <ASHER1> but i see error
[18:01] <LinuxGold> ok, try recompile again
[18:01] <LinuxGold> what error? from apt-get?
[18:01] <ASHER1> not from configure
[18:03] <DF3D2> So basically Lightdm was overriding everything else?
[18:03]  * UTL sighs. Time to reboot...
[18:03] <DF3D2> OR nothing else would set the DPI even though it claimed to ?
[18:04] <bubbasaures> DF3D2, Post this all in your blog, it is not really helpful here as a comment stream.
[18:05] <DF3D2> I really should keep a blog for all the hardware/software bullshit I encounter
[18:05] <bubbasaures> yeah and you can swear there, not like here.
[18:08] <LinuxGold> I need to go
[18:08] <LinuxGold> cya later.
[18:09] <LinuxGold> [detached]
[18:09] <ASHER1> LinuxGold i get again error

[18:13] <marcel_> Just installed ubuntu-unity (on my Acer c720 via crouton). I'm trying to add my printer, but printer>server>new>printer is shaded in gray. Does anyone know how to fix this (I guess so ;)) Would be really great thx :)
[18:13] <ASHER1> i make this from Terminal
[18:14] <Ampelbein> ASHER1: yes.
[18:15] <f0urh1r3> hello, i am trying to install some fonts into ubuntu but it doesn't work, i'm using fonty python. the folder .fonts doesn't even exist. how do i solve this? thanks in advance
[18:15] <ASHER1> ok then you can please give to me the command?
[18:15] <ASHER1> for install this
[18:16] <ASHER1> Ampelbein
[18:17] <squinty> ASHER1:  any reason why you just don't search in Software Center (or Synaptic package manager) to install libpq-dev?   then you don't need to use terminal commands...
[18:18] <ASHER1> ok
[18:18] <ASHER1> but what i need search from pack
[18:19] <hariom> I am getting error while upgrading to ubuntu 14.04: Err http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main linux-headers-3.13.0-40 all 3.13.0-40.69             Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]
[18:19] <ASHER1> i dont know how i can fix it error
[18:19] <ASHER1> and this my error libpq++.h
[18:19] <hariom> How to fix this. I have tried with another mirror as well but same result.
[18:19] <k1l_> ASHER1: what are you doing at all there?
[18:19] <ASHER1> mod.chanfix
[18:19] <k1l_> ASHER1: like the last time: its easier to take the programs that are already made working with ubuntu.
[18:19] <ASHER1> it services
[18:20] <k1l_> ah, the irc stuff again?
[18:20] <ASHER1> no this something other
[18:20] <MrSavage> hey all i'm trying to install the new amd omega driver
[18:20] <MrSavage> but i'm getting dependency is not satisfiable fglrx-core
[18:20] <genericum> i have a problem with startx, as user it says: Cannot open virutal console 8 (Permission denied) any ideas ?
[18:20] <f0urh1r3> can anybody read what i write at all, sorry... i'm using this the first time...
[18:21] <k1l_> ASHER1: so you want to build mod.chanfix?
[18:21] <ASHER1> no
[18:21] <ASHER1> i want configure
[18:21] <ASHER1> this
[18:21] <k1l_> are you sure you need that at all? that is very very very old
[18:21] <ASHER1> and this my error one sec
[18:21] <ASHER1> http://pastebin.com/kQeuB9P8
[18:21] <Ampelbein> f0urh1r3: yes, we can read it.
[18:21] <squinty> f0urh1r3: yes
[18:22] <marcel_> would any1 mind to have a quick look on my question? ;)
[18:22] <k1l_> ASHER1: what command brings this error?
[18:22] <squinty> marcel_:  just type in your problem  if someone can help they will reply
[18:22] <ASHER1> configure file
[18:22] <ASHER1> i send to you error
[18:22] <ASHER1> http://pastebin.com/kQeuB9P8
[18:22] <marcel_> ok: Just installed ubuntu-unity (on my Acer c720 via crouton). I'm trying to add my printer, but printer>server>new>printer is shaded in gray. Does anyone know how to fix this (I guess so ;)) Would be really great thx :)
[18:22] <k1l_> ASHER1: so you are compiling
[18:22] <ASHER1> it come with this
[18:22] <ASHER1> i only run
[18:23] <ASHER1> and this command for run
[18:23] <ASHER1> ./configure CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix
[18:23] <f0urh1r3> Ampelbein: thanks for your feedback... at least it's visible... does anybody know why i am not seeing any .fonts folder? have the standards changed for fonts since 14.04?
[18:23] <k1l_> ASHER1: this is not "run the program" that is "compiling the program"
[18:24] <k1l_> ASHER1: and you need to get to know what that program needs to be installed on the system. and then you need to get all that stuff. and like i told you last time that program is very very very old and its very difficult to get all the old stuff
[18:25] <ASHER1> :\ ok
[18:25] <Ampelbein> f0urh1r3: What error message do you get? (Use paste.ubuntu.com for long output)
[18:26] <k1l_> ASHER1: it is for running irc servers. are you sure you want to run a irc server on your own?
[18:26] <ASHER1> this mod services
[18:27] <ASHER1> i think it possible fix this
[18:27] <k1l_> ASHER1: no, its a module for a  irc server
[18:27] <ASHER1> ok module
[18:27] <ASHER1> it run with pgsql
[18:27] <ASHER1> i know
[18:27] <squinty> marcel_:  might want to try using the CUPS setup.....   enter the following in your web browser  https://localhost:631/  >  CUPS for Administrators > Adding Printers and Classes
[18:27] <ASHER1> but my question why i get error
[18:27] <f0urh1r3> Ampelbein: fonty python will just hang forever and not install anything, besides there is no .fonts folder at all. i used to run this without problems y nd i could see how the .fonts folder would be filled with the fonts. now nothing happens
[18:28] <k1l_> ASHER1: yes, you need the libpq++.h from that pgsql
[18:28] <k1l_> ASHER1: that was the same issue last time
[18:28] <k1l_> is postgresql installed? installed from ubuntu? ...
[18:29] <k1l_> ASHER1: http://gnuworld.undernet.org/gnuworld-setup/?s=4#faq3
[18:29] <ASHER1> no
[18:29] <ASHER1> i no install this
[18:29] <Ampelbein> f0urh1r3: Does it work when you create the folder by hand? See bug 1322144
[18:29] <k1l_> ASHER1: so you know you need postgresql but you dont install it?
[18:30] <marcel_> @squinty: this doesnt work. the printer is not connected via usb to my computer. its connected via usb to my router and configured to work with my windows laptop so far. now i want to be able to print via my ubuntu computer.
[18:30] <squinty> f0urh1r3:  fwiw, there doesn't appear to be a .fonts directory on my 14.04.1.   however the following is displayed   whereis fonts
[18:30] <squinty> fonts: /etc/fonts /usr/share/fonts    maybe you need to add  ~/.fonts to your home directory?
[18:31] <ASHER1> i want install this my i think if this possible install something like this without postsql
[18:31] <k1l_> ASHER1: do you really need mod.chanfix? are you really sure?
[18:32] <k1l_> ASHER1: i think you dont have a clue what you are doing. do you run your own irc servers?
[18:32] <ASHER1> why not i happy take from you reason
[18:32] <f0urh1r3> Ampelbein: that did the tic
[18:32] <Ampelbein> f0urh1r3: cool.
[18:32] <f0urh1r3> trick
[18:33] <f0urh1r3> Ampelbein: thanks, now it's working
[18:34] <mikubuntu> so, i just had to switch from chrome to firefox again, because something keeps gumming up my keystrokes on chrome (i'm typing along, all of a sudden, i tap keys, nothing happens). running lubuntu 14.04. anybody have this issue?
[18:35] <f0urh1r3> squinty: indeed. thanks, that solved it. thank you guys. i would like to contribute more to the community but i am quite a newbie. thank you very much
[18:36] <squinty> f0urh1r3:  good to hear you are up and running again. :-)
[18:48] <hariom> I am getting error while upgrading to ubuntu 14.04: Err http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main linux-headers-3.13.0-40 all 3.13.0-40.69   Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]
[18:48] <Darknet> k1l_: why would you put a gnuworld link here? gnuworld is crap in a box...
[18:49] <bubbasaures> mikubuntu, You sure it's the browser and not just using up the computers resources, I notice you're running lubuntu.
[18:49] <Darknet> ASHER1: why would you want to use chanfix on a small network?
[18:49] <k1l_> Darknet: its the user who tries to run that stuff. not me.
[18:49] <Darknet> set your services to be freely registered, and expire after a few days of idle.
[18:50] <Darknet> ASHER1: i strongly suggest you unrealircd+Anope since you have no idea what you are doing.
[18:50] <ASHER1> i run
[18:50] <ASHER1> very much ircd
[18:50] <Darknet> looks like you can't
[18:50] <Darknet> since you are here
[18:50] <ASHER1> Nefarious inspircd and more but i dont know why i get error
[18:50] <ASHER1> i try to find the problem
[18:51] <k1l_> ASHER1: chanfix is deprecated
[18:51] <wheatthin> illkillyou2
[18:51] <k1l_> ASHER1: dont try to run that. that is what i already told you the last time you were asking here
[18:51] <Darknet> ^
[18:51] <ASHER1> ok
[18:51] <ASHER1> my friend i get this
[18:51] <ASHER1> k1l_
[18:51] <marcel_> How do I safely disconnect my external HDD?
[18:51] <ASHER1> :)
[18:52] <Darknet> ASHER1: don't use chanfix, its old, unsupported, and completely useless.
[18:52] <Darknet> use something else.
[18:52] <isantop> marcel_: You'll want to open the File Browser/Home Folder, then click on the Eject Icon next to it on the list on the left.
[18:53] <Darknet> ASHER1: if you really want to use it, go see on undernet, talk to Spike, Empus or Rufus. They know.
[18:53] <hariom> Can anybody assit in resolving this error: (while upgrading to ubuntu 14.04): Err http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main linux-headers-3.13.0-40 all 3.13.0-40.69   Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.14 80]
[18:53] <isantop> marcel_: See here: http://i.imgur.com/nPpanSh.png
[18:54] <ASHER1> i dont know if there answer to me
[18:54] <ASHER1> but i take the word what k1l_ say
[18:54] <Darknet> ASHER1: just ask your question and wait.
[18:54] <squinty> hariom:  tried switching mirrors (Software and Updates)  click on that address you pasted results in "This is the default web page for this server.
[18:54] <squinty> The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." being displayed in my browser
[18:54] <Darknet> undernet "invented" chanfix.

[18:55] <isantop> marcel_: did you manually mount the drive form the command line?
[18:55] <Darknet> eeeeew
[18:55] <ASHER1> and i try to install from there install mod.chanfix
[18:55] <marcel_> isantop: no
[18:55] <hariom> squinty: I have tried 3 different mirrors but same result
[18:55] <ASHER1> this what i see there
[18:55] <Darknet> i dont care.
[18:55] <Darknet> just saying
[18:55] <isantop> marcel_: Can you post a pastebin with the output of: sudo fdisk -l ?
[18:56] <Darknet> im saying, you are using stuff that is not under development anymore, nobody is working on it, you can't get support.
[18:56] <Darknet> good luck
[18:56] <marcel_> isantop: how do I make a pastebin:D ?
[18:57] <isantop> marcel_: You can paste the output here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/
[18:57] <isantop> Then, send the link to the paste here.
[18:58] <marcel_> isantop: it doesnt copy the output in the terminal
[18:58] <isantop> marcel_: You'll need to press Ctrl+Alt+C to copy from the terminal.
[18:59] <marcel_> isantop: same result
[19:00] <spupuser> Is there a way to make a ubuntu usb using a comand line on other linux such as puppy?
[19:00] <isantop> marcel_: Hrm... What are you seeing when you try to copy?
[19:00] <marcel_> isantop: "^C" in a new command line
[19:00] <isantop> spupuser: You can dd the image to the USB drive. eg: sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdx
[19:01] <isantop> marcel_: Okay, after you select the text, just use the Edit menu and click Copy
[19:01] <spupuser> Thanx ill give it a shot. my hdd crashed n i only have slacko to work with

[19:02] <isantop> marcel_: Is the external drive the 1 TB drive?
[19:03] <marcel_> isantop: yes
[19:04] <isantop> Okay, then try running this in the terminal: sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[19:05] <johnfg> Hi folks
[19:05] <mikubuntu> bubbasaures: i don't think so -- when i switch to firefox, don't have the problem (as i'm typing right here) -- it's only on chrome, and only as of late (at least couple weeks been doing this -- i have to reboot if i want to go back to chrome)
[19:05] <johnfg> just installed the latest server in a vm.
[19:05] <johnfg> What's the pkg name for installing mate?
[19:05] <marcel_> isantop: it says sudo: unmount: command not found
[19:05] <mikubuntu> bubbasaures: this isn't a particularly old computer either
[19:05] <isantop> marcel_: make there's no "n" in there. Just umount
[19:06] <marcel_> isantop: it says not mounted now
[19:07] <isantop> You should be fine to remove it, then. If it's not mounted, then there shouldn't be any more write operations pending to the drive.
[19:07] <bubbasaures> mikubuntu, I would use a conky or htop to tell. My concern is that all you answers and questions are rather empty of info for the channel to help you is all.
[19:07] <isantop> marcel_: You might reboot, too. It shouldn't be necessary to run any of the mount commands manually.
[19:07] <bubbasaures> your*
[19:08] <marcel_> isantop: ok. but im still a bit confused. why does it show up in the explorer when its not mounted? is this usual?
[19:08] <mikubuntu> bubbasaures: whats a conky or htop ?
[19:08] <spupuser> Its saying it copied to my usb but when I look in that usb nothing is there
[19:08] <isantop> Yeah, If the drive is connected, it will show up in that list on the right so that you can click it and open it.
[19:09] <bubbasaures> mikubuntu, Easily found on the web, you have to be careful you rely on the channel for any info. Both will show processes.
[19:10] <bubbasaures> !htop | mikubuntu
[19:11] <bubbasaures> mikubuntu, here is a htop link, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/using-htop-to-monitor-system-processes-on-linux/?PageSpeed=noscript
[19:11] <upsell5> how can I create an alias on the fly?  like:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[19:11] <mikubuntu> bubbasaures: k i'll check it out
[19:11] <upsell5> can I add it to my bash with an alias in a single line?
[19:12] <bubbasaures> mikubuntu, Cool, hope we can get you working as you want. ;)
[19:12] <marcel_> isantop: ok that makes sense. another question: under devices it show a lot of things which im unsure about why it is displayed there or what it means: "OEM" "ROOT-A" "ROOT-A" "EFI-SYSTEM" "EFI" "34 GB VOLUME". Is this supposed to look like this?
[19:13] <johnfg> I see that there's a ubuntu-mate.org, but they only have isos.  Is there a way to install mate on this server?
[19:13] <bubbasaures> johnfg, What release is this?
[19:14] <holstein> johnfg: yes.. its in the repos, or at the mate site, you can read about adding the ppa's to get *exactly* what is in the mate 14.04 version
[19:14] <johnfg> 14.10
[19:14] <OerHeks> !info mate-desktop
[19:14] <bubbasaures> johnfg, in the 14.10 repos, install
[19:14] <holstein> johnfg: 14.10 has the packages in the repo.. you can use *any* package manager, and search "mate" for example
[19:15] <johnfg> thanks guys.
[19:16]  * bubbasaures welcomes holstein back with a 14736251 salute
[19:16] <spupuser> thanx man the dd to usb worked awesome.
[19:16] <lucid_interval> upsell5: if you want to add an alias to your currently running shell instance: alias l='ls'    (to alias l to ls)
[19:16] <johnfg> What's the preference for a dm.  I'm using both gdm and lxdm on other machines, at present.
[19:17] <upsell5> lucid_interval: cool, and what file does it append to?
[19:17] <bubbasaures> johnfg, lightdm is used
[19:17] <lucid_interval> if you want to have this alias available when you log in next time (also): add a line with the same text to ~/.bash_aliases
[19:18] <johnfg> So, with make-desktop installed, will startx start with mate?  Or how do I call it?
[19:18] <bubbasaures> johnfg, You will end up with a gui to login with.
[19:18] <lucid_interval> If you add to ~/.bash_aliases and you want the alias immediately available in the currently running shell, after adding the line, in your current shell do: . ~/.bashrc    - remember the '.' (DOT) at the start and the space between the dot and the .bashrc
[19:19] <johnfg> bubbasaures: after a reboot, right?
[19:19] <bubbasaures> johnfg, Yeah,
[19:19] <isantop> marcel_: Is that on your main drive?
[19:19] <johnfg> bubbasaures: Or just logoff?
[19:20] <holstein> johnfg: did you install "ubuntu-mate-desktop" ?
[19:20] <bubbasaures> johnfg, Might work with a log off with the correct start, my gnome shell would be sudo service lightdm start
[19:20] <holstein> johnfg: did you get a login manager? lightdm? when you added your mate packages?
[19:20] <johnfg> holstein: I installed make-desktop.  Is that the same thing?
[19:20] <marcel_> isantop: im not sure what you mean.
[19:21] <holstein> johnfg: no.. but, that doesnt mean you want/prefer the ubuntu-mate-desktop metapackage
[19:21] <lucid_interval> upsell5: also see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1781047
[19:21] <marcel_> isantop: im running ubuntu on the internal ssd of my chromebook (installed via crouton).
[19:22] <isantop> marcel_: Ah, it's likely that ChromeOS is booting via UEFI, and the rest of those partitions are set up as a part of ChromeOS. You'll want to keep those partitions, since they contain the bootloader for your Ubuntu partition as well as for ChromeOS.
[19:22] <johnfg> holstein: with the console that came up on the first boot of the vm, I can't scroll back, so I'm not sure if it installed a dm or not.
[19:23] <johnfg> What's the diff between ubuntu-mate-desktop and mate-desktop?
[19:23] <holstein> johnfg: sure. the "easy" way, is literally reboot.. see if you have a login manager or not.. then, you can try "startx" or whatever..
[19:23] <bubbasaures> johnfg, make or mate desktop was that a typo?
[19:23] <johnfg> typo
[19:23] <bubbasaures> cool
[19:24] <holstein> johnfg: the "similarity" there is mate.. its like xubuntu vs xfce.. xubuntu cusomizes xfce to some degree
[19:24] <holstein> customizes
[19:24] <linuxuz3r> hi
[19:24] <johnfg> Ok, I'll just reboot and see if I like it.  Thanks for the help guys!
[19:24] <marcel_> isantop: ok so the mess has to stay :D. im also struggling with installing my printer. since "ADD" in Printers is shaded gray. any idea on this?
[19:25] <holstein> marcel_: it depends.. and who knows what you have insatlled, since you are not using ubuntu.. but, you have access to the repos, i assume
[19:25] <holstein> !printing
[19:25] <isantop> marcel_: That's about the one thing I no experience on. The only printers I've ever set up are HP, which are all plung-and-play
[19:26] <johnfg> interesting.  I get a regular login after a reboot, and mate-desktop didn't even install X!
[19:26] <holstein> marcel_: one thing i might do is load up an ubuntu live cd on other hardware, and see if anything "magically" happens with the printer support
[19:27] <johnfg> I wonder if ubuntu-mate-desktop would do the same?
[19:27] <holstein> johnfg: i wouldnt jump to any conclusions like that.. i would just try insatlling that meta package.. and *look* and see what is being installed
[19:27] <holstein> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop"
[19:27] <TehStig> hey all, any one have a minute to help configure upstart to set oom_adj when a process starts?
[19:29] <quazaar> hello
[19:29] <johnfg> btw...when I do an apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop, it returns: E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-mate-desktop.
[19:29] <holstein> !tab | johnfg
[19:29] <OerHeks> mate-desktop, not ubuntu-mate-desktop
[19:30] <OerHeks> !info mate-desktop
[19:31] <john_doe_jr> I got the pid of a process but i need to know the signal name…how do I find the signal name?
[19:31] <johnfg> OerHeks: But holstein is recommending the pkg by the name ubuntu-mate-desktop, and it doesn't seem to exist.
[19:31] <holstein> !info mate-desktop-environment-core
[19:31] <holstein> johnfg: ideally, im recomending *whatever* package ubuntu-mate uses
[19:32] <holstein> johnfg: i have only added the ppa for that in 14.04, and not used 14.10 to install mate, personally..
[19:32] <OerHeks> johnfg, you said "mate-desktop didn't even install X!" , did you change Desktop at login or just went back in?
[19:32] <marcel_> holstein & isantop: but however it should be possible to hit the "ADD" button in the printers application or not?
[19:32] <holstein> OerHeks: i think the "base" here is server.. no change, really
[19:32] <Jason_> hello all, having a really hard time getting wifi working on the latest ubuntu server... iv set it up as per this tut but not working? http://askubuntu.com/questions/464507/ubuntu-14-04-server-wifi-wpa2-personal
[19:33] <Jason_> ifconfig shows the ip but i cant ping anything
[19:33] <holstein> marcel_: i dont know anything about crouton.. if they dont include printing support, then, you wont be able to do that
[19:34] <johnfg> OerHeks: I said previously, it didn't, after a reboot, bring up a dm, so no choices as to what Desktop.
[19:34] <holstein> startx did what? johnfg ?
[19:34] <isantop> marcel_: It should be possible. My guess is that you're missing a package or two. Printing is not my forte.
[19:34] <OerHeks> johnfg, oke. autologin, then just logout, change desktop to mate and voila
[19:35] <holstein> OerHeks: i think the issue is, there is no login manager.. no lightdm, etc..
[19:35] <johnfg> OerHeks: Nothing, not installed :-
[19:35] <OerHeks> oh
[19:35] <bubbasaures> I wonder if their repos are all open or all there
[19:36] <WyZeGuY> would it be a bad idea to employ TrueCrypt for whole disk encryption, then use freeOTFE?
[19:36] <WyZeGuY> for partition encryption?
[19:36] <OerHeks> sure you are on 14.10? mate-desktop is not availabe for 14.04
[19:36] <trijntje> WyZeGuY: its a bad idea to use truecrypt period, the developers say its should not be used anymore
[19:36] <holstein> WyZeGuY: that will be a matter of opinion, for you to decide. i would try a security channel.. there are included full-disk options
[19:36] <holstein> i would use what is stock, and supported.. not truecrypt
[19:37] <WyZeGuY> trijntje: i'm aware that they say it's broken, but the fact that they tell people to switch to bitlocker leads be not to believe it
[19:37] <johnfg> OerHeks: yup
[19:37] <johnfg> uname -a
[19:37] <holstein> WyZeGuY: sure.. so, research it, and use it if you want.. *no* one will say its  "good" idea..
[19:38] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto is what i would refer to, WyZeGuY
[19:38] <WyZeGuY> holstein: i guess what i was wondering is whether or not it would break my computer?
[19:38] <bubbasaures> mate is in 14.04 cinnamon was not in 14.04
[19:39] <elichai2> hey
[19:39] <holstein> WyZeGuY: sure.. try it and see.. i would have backups regardless.. since, *all* drives fail
[19:39] <elichai2> hey
[19:39] <elichai2> i have a problem:
[19:39] <elichai2> http://pastebin.com/Zv8D4MUe
[19:40] <isantop> elichai2: try running this: sudo apt-get install -f
[19:40] <WyZeGuY> holstein: that's why i decided to ask first. i have paid software on here that i'd rather not lose to an experiment
[19:40] <elichai2> nope
[19:40] <elichai2> isantop, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
[19:40] <holstein> WyZeGuY: using truecrypt is not supported by truecrypt.. so, if you use it, its at your own risk..
[19:40] <isantop> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:40] <isantop> @ elichai2
[19:40] <holstein> WyZeGuY: you *will* lose *everything* not backed up.. on *all* drives
[19:41] <elichai2> isantop, already did, but i'll run it again
[19:41] <elichai2> BTW, i'm running utopic
[19:41] <WyZeGuY> holstein: using TrueCrypt has not been a problem. i've already had it on this drive. however, it's the duo programs that i'm wondering would be bad
[19:41] <elichai2> The following packages have been kept back:
[19:41] <elichai2>   libc6 libc6:i386 libc6-dbg libc6-i386
[19:41] <johnfg> OerHeks: That's what I thought I'd be able to do.  But instead, I get a usual console login, and startx says x is not installed.
[19:41] <marcel_> is "sudo apt-get install cups" sufficient in order to set up cups for installing a printer?
[19:41] <EriC^^> elichai2: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:42] <elichai2> EriC^^, still: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
[19:42] <holstein> marcel_: depends on what you need to add to crouton.. ask the creators, or just try following the printing wiki for ubuntu
[19:42] <johnfg> Is there a more full pkg/suite available for mate than mate-desktop?
[19:42] <EriC^^> elichai2: sudo apt-get install libc6
[19:42] <OerHeks> not startx, sudo service lightdm start # or hit ctrl alt F7
[19:43] <holstein> johnfg: you *have* mate.. try adding lightdm
[19:43] <OerHeks> startx is old
[19:44] <johnfg> OerHeks: Right (but so am I) :=)
[19:44] <elichai2> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9445902/
[19:44] <johnfg> installing lightdm would install everything concerning x for sure.
[19:44] <EriC^^> elichai2: just kidding?
[19:44] <EriC^^> elichai2: cancel
[19:44] <elichai2> of course LOL
[19:44] <holstein> johnfg: you can look while its installing and confirm that
[19:45] <elichai2> i wouldn't remove all these...
[19:45] <elichai2> (although i think most of it i don't need.)
[19:45] <EriC^^> elichai2: yeah, i mean i'm sorry to suggest that :D
[19:45] <Okitain> johnfg: imagine the world where people would only use software that was almost as old as they were
[19:45] <frexious> hello
[19:45] <elichai2> EriC^^, lol, it's ok :) i'm not stupid...
[19:46] <EriC^^> i know i'm kidding that's all
[19:46] <EriC^^> elichai2: i've no idea how to fix the problem though im afraid
[19:46] <EriC^^> :)
[19:46] <Okitain> johnfg: like, I would be lucky to use slackware 2.0
[19:46] <johnfg> Okitain: I don't think there is any sw as old as I am!
[19:46] <johnfg> ONly punch cards.
[19:46] <elichai2> anyone else? :\
[19:47] <Okitain> johnfg: Huh, Grace Hopper's compiler is how old exactly?
[19:47] <elichai2> EriC^^, I actually think about answering `yes`
[19:47] <frexious> is any Ruby on Rails or Python developers here?
[19:47] <johnfg> Maybe they used sw to build the pyramids, but I'm not sure what it was.
[19:47] <EriC^^> elichai2: but it's saying so many will be removed, even wine not only libs
[19:47] <Okitain> frexious: lots, but you should stop asking leading questions and get to the meat.
[19:47] <EriC^^> elichai2: maybe somebody will figure it out hold on..
[19:47] <holstein> elichai2: do you have ppa's added? if so, you may purge them and address what is going on..
[19:48] <elichai2> yeah, but i can reinstall wine
[19:48] <frexious> i am working on py project for open source cloud hosting
[19:48] <bazhang> frexious, ask in the rails and python channel
[19:48] <holstein> if it were my system, i would hit yes, and then, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see that that completes without issue, and move on from there
[19:48] <bazhang> !alis | frexious
[19:48] <frexious> i have 8gb ram 8 cpu and 1tb ubuntu server
[19:48] <elichai2> holstein, amm i have some PPA's. and i compiled some libraries myself
[19:48] <holstein> !ppapurge
[19:49] <holstein> elichai2: if you feel the mixed sources can be breaking things for you.. which is very possible..
[19:50] <elichai2> holstein, the weird thing, is that i'm pretty sure i already had g++ and build-essential and openssl etc.
[19:50] <holstein> elichai2: sure, could have been removed, or, you are misinterpreting a prompt somewhere
[19:51] <elichai2> holstein, yeah, but how can i check that?
[19:52] <holstein> elichai2: i would, as i said, either purge my unsupported sources, and get back to stock, and go from there, or, just have that list of pacakges removed, and get the apt-get update and dist-upgrade to complete without error, and go from ther
[19:52] <holstein> there*
[19:52] <elichai2> holstein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9445985/
[19:53] <holstein> elichai2: sure. no doubt, you have packaging problems..
[19:53] <elichai2> i can now update&upgrade without an error
[19:53] <elichai2> the weird thing, is that i think all these libraries are programming related
[19:53] <holstein> elichai2: great! and if thats all you need to do, you are fine.. but, its not
[19:53] <elichai2> ok, i'll say `yes` to that
[19:53] <holstein> elichai2: i *know* they are.. and it can be due to the PPA's
[19:54] <elichai2> i think it's because i compiled some of them by myself
[19:54] <elichai2> (the wine for example i got from PlayOnLinux)
[19:54] <chaospsychex> could someone help me to get my touchscreen monitor working on 14.04
[19:55] <elichai2> i'll answer yes for the install of libc6 and then try installing g++ again
[19:55] <holstein> chaospsychex: maybe.. have you tried it with a live iso? do you have 14.04 installed on the hardware?
[19:55] <chaospsychex> im in the live ISO now
[19:56] <Jason_> cant someone help me with wifi on ubuntu server 14. its driving me insane
[19:56] <holstein> chaospsychex: does anything work? do you have chromium installed? if so, try chromium-browser --touch-events=enabled
[19:56] <holstein> !wifi | Jason_
[19:57] <rypervenche> Jason_: What's wrong?
[19:57] <holstein> Jason_: though, on server, it may be a little more challenging.. there is a wicd-curses ..or, there was..
[19:57] <chaospsychex> holstein, I downloaded the 'calibration' tool and it says 'no configurable device present' or something like that
[19:57] <linuxuz3r> does mir support compiz?
[19:57] <Jason_> I've been through it all, I'm trying to get ubuntu server to use my wifi dongle on a static IP i've setup /etc/network/interfaces but its not working
[19:58] <jhjhjhj> For built in ubuntu firefox, wouldn't it be better to have some other default search engine than google?
[19:58] <Jason_> tried wpa_supplicant too but no luck either, ifconfig shows the wlan0 device and its ip but i can't ping anything in or out
[19:58] <holstein> Jason_: take it instages.. try, a live iso and see if the device works well in linux by default.. then, get the server install connecting in *any* way.. *then*, move to the static IP
[19:58] <chaospsychex> so will i run into problems if I install this ? I booted the live image from a usb and the usb was under UEFI ??
[19:59] <Jason_> holstein, Wifi worked fine on live CD as well as the actual install
[19:59] <holstein> !uefi | chaospsychex
[19:59] <holstein> Jason_: so, its literaly just the static IP that you are having the issue with?
[20:00] <rypervenche> Jason_: Does "sudo iwlist scanning" show any output?
[20:00] <Jason_> holstein, not exactly as even dhcp isn't working inside the actual install of ubuntu server
[20:00] <tennis> anyone know how to automatically download updated keys when /etc/apt/sources.list is changed?
[20:00] <holstein> tennis: you shouldnt need to.. you added a ppa and are getting a key error?
[20:01] <chaospsychex> i don't have windows 8.
[20:01] <Jason_> under wpa-psk in /etc/network/interfaces should this be the hex code of the password i use for wifi or just the actual password
[20:02] <tennis> holstein: I'm getting this error when I update my sources.list: W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
[20:02] <tennis> holstein: Thanks for answering, btw. :)
[20:03] <Okitain> linuxuz3r: i would pose the question another way: does compiz support Mir?
[20:03] <tennis> holstein: so, is there any way to auto-update the key or otherwise avoid the error?
[20:03] <jhjhjhj> bye...
[20:03] <holstein> tennis: i would try http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/fix-nopubkey-error-for-extras-ubuntu.html
[20:04] <Okitain> linuxuz3r: and the answer to that is...nope. They aren't gonna port it to Wayland or whatever Ubuntu puts out.
[20:09] <tennis> holstein: Thanks!
[20:10] <tennis> holstein: btw, what is the long hex value and how do you figure out if you're using the correct one?
[20:12] <holstein> tennis: im actually not sure, first hand, but, i'll run "sudo apt-get update" in a terminal, and just address any errors.. i have used that keyserv command i linked for other sources
[20:13] <johnfg> All went well with the install of lightdm, reboot brought up what was expected, but when I try to login I get a `Failed to start session`
[20:14] <tennis> holstein: ah, ok.
[20:14] <bubbasaures> johnfg, THis vbox?
[20:14] <johnfg> I get the same if I select Guest session.
[20:14] <holstein> johnfg: ill just try the guest session, and check my users configs.. otherwise, just look at the session list, and see what you are trying to start, and try another one, if listed
[20:14] <johnfg> bubbasaures: yes.
[20:15] <johnfg> Well, actually it's virt-manager.
[20:15] <johnfg> holstein: only one.
[20:15] <johnfg> holstein: i.e., I assume since there's only one, that it's mate.
[20:15] <holstein> johnfg: does it say, mate?
[20:17] <Jason_> holstein, solved it, thanks for you're help though :)
[20:18] <johnfg> holstein: Just has got the hostname in upper left, below and kinda towards the middle my user name, and icons in top right for various things: assist, network, sound, turn off.
[20:18] <holstein> johnfg: im saying, in the session selector, see what is available
[20:18] <johnfg> holstein: Told ya, no session selector.
[20:19] <holstein> johnfg: there are pre-built iso's *just* for this purpose.. to make this easier
[20:19] <holstein> johnfg: can you not use one? why are you starting with a server iso? do you have a stock 14.04 ubuntu install?
[20:20] <johnfg> http://imgur.com/2lYtXQ1 this is what I've got.
[20:21] <johnfg> holstein: No 14.04.  This is 14.10 in a vm.
[20:21] <holstein> johnfg: sure.. *where* did you get the 14.10 vm? a stock 14.10 ubuntuserver iso?
[20:22] <johnfg> holstein: yes.
[20:22] <holstein> johnfg: one of the icons in the upper right is the session selector
[20:22] <holstein> AFAIK
[20:22] <holstein> http://028499.com/how-to-install-mate-desktop-environtment-on-ubuntu-14-10-utopic-unicorn/
[20:23] <holstein> johnfg: ^ that reference installing sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment and sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-core
[20:23] <johnfg> Nope, none of them are the session selector, unfortunately.
[20:23] <holstein> as well as sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras
[20:23] <holstein> johnfg: did you do that?
[20:23] <johnfg> holstein: I'll read it and get back to ya.  Running out of time for my own session at 2nd job.
[20:23] <johnfg> holstein: Thanks for helping!
[20:24] <holstein> "sudo apt-get install mate-desktop-environment mate-desktop-environment-core mate-desktop-environment-extras"
[20:24] <holstein> johnfg: if time is important, just download the pre-built iso that gives you *exactly* what you are building from the ubuntu-mate site
[20:26] <No_FeaR> noluyor amk burda
[20:28] <alteregoa> darmok and jalad at tanagra
[20:29] <alteregoa> 14.10 is the best ubuntu ever i used
[20:35] <akurilin> Is there an official guide for rsyslog anywhere?
[20:35] <akurilin> Seems like the docs for regular syslogd aren't super relevant with it
[20:36] <Curiosity4tech> hello everybody
[20:36] <EriC^^> hello Curiosity4tech !
[20:37] <Curiosity4tech> I installed kubuntu and I have numerous issues with it, the nvidia drivers give me some errors, the system blocks sometimes, can I install Xfce on it and remove the kde plasma X ?
[20:37] <Curiosity4tech> tkx!
[20:37] <alteregoa> i use macbuntu
[20:38] <parmiggiano> Curiosity4tech: sure, you can install the xubuntu-desktop package that will give you xfce. but I doubt that will resolve your driver issues.
[20:38] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: sure, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
 my question is can I remove afterwards everything related to KDE?
[20:39] <Curiosity4tech> the desktop I mean
[20:40] <Curiosity4tech> regarding the nvidia driver
[20:40] <Curiosity4tech> I am not able to remove the drivers installed
[20:40] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: which ubuntu are you using?
[20:42] <MichaelK> I tried Ubuntu, and it's not for me. I have used jsut about ever destro that's out there. And the one thaT Works for me is NetRunner 14 :)
[20:43] <apes> Anyone know how I can troubleshoot sysstat? debian-sa1 doesn't seem to be doing anything.
[20:43] <MichaelK> I wished I knew
[20:44] <parmiggiano> glad you found the right distro for you, MichaelK. although it seems a bit off-topic in #ubuntu.
[20:44] <MichaelK> yes me to.. The windows things was gertting to me.. It was like every other day I was formatting,.
 14.10 I think the last one
[20:47] <Curiosity4tech> kubuntu
[20:48] <k1l> Curiosity4tech: "lsb_release -a" tells you
[20:49] <Curiosity4tech> thanks kll it is14.10 utopic
[20:50] <Curiosity4tech> thanks <k1l> it is14.10 utopic
[20:51] <apes> It looks like a corrupt /var/log/sysstat/sadd file causes sysstat to fail on Ubuntu. Anyone know more about this?
[20:51] <apes> I removed the old files and sysstat started working again.
[20:51] <parmiggiano> Curiosity4tech: not being an expert, I guess there's no other way than manually removing a bunch of packages... perhaps you find a list of these packages online in some forum.
[20:52] <Curiosity4tech> <parmiggiano> so no kde desktop  remove or something
[20:52] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: sudo apt-get --auto-remove purge kubuntu-desktop
[20:52] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: you will still have many kde related packages which you will have to manually remove though
[20:53] <EriC^^> search forums and such as parmiggiano suggested
[20:53] <par7133> I dedicate my life to give software and technology to the right-wingers, Bill
[20:53] <par7133> a right-winger here in Shanghai, please share thanks http://snag.gy/NgHAO.jpg

 ok I belive I can leave with some leftovers :) I am thinking thou to boot and install an xubuntu from scratch
[20:54] <bubbasaures> must have lost the left wing in an accident
[20:55] <Curiosity4tech> I still have the problems with the video driver
[20:55] <notrin> anyone know of an mrtg like software that i could click onthe graph at a specific time, and make a note  to correspond with that point?
[20:55] <Curiosity4tech> and I am not able to remove the current driver, by hand or by software center
[20:55] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: i'm not an expert, but.. what kind of problems?
[20:56] <MichaelK> Are there a program that I can use to download MP3's from youtube?
[20:56] <k1l> Curiosity4tech: how did you install it?
[20:56] <EriC^^> MichaelK: youtube-dl , the best :D
[20:56] <MichaelK> ok thanks
[20:56] <k1l> MichaelK: just some minutes ago you said you dont use ubuntu. so please ask the distro support you actually use
[20:56] <parmiggiano> MichaelK: and once you have an mp4 downloaded by youtube-dl, you can use a tool to convert it to a sound file...
[20:57] <Curiosity4tech> <EriC^^> I nstalled cairo dock and compiz, and cairo dock looks very strange.... it mixes collores of the background pages open and is liquified... wierd
[20:57] <Curiosity4tech> <k1l> after the installation I choose the Nvidia proprietary driver
[20:57] <parmiggiano> MichaelK: however, downloading a video might be against the copyright laws of your country or the terms of use of youtube
[20:57] <guntbert> Curiosity4tech: you don't need < ... >  around the nicks
[20:58] <Curiosity4tech> sorry guntbert due to the speed :(
[20:58] <EriC^^> parmiggiano: fwiw you can do it in youtube-dl straight away

[21:03] <MichaelK> hat's a good program I can use for NetRunner 14 to download mp3's from youtube?
[21:03] <k1l> MichaelK: see netrunners support. thanks
[21:04] <MichaelK> I tried searching for a NetRunner chan and there's isn't any
[21:04] <MichaelK> :(
[21:04] <owen1> a few keys on my new laptop stopped working: five, six, left ctrl, plus, minus and page-up. it's a new laptop. is it something with ubuntu? i don't have the windows anymore to test it. 'xev' doesn't show anything when i type those keys.
[21:04] <k1l> MichaelK: see their website if there is one irc support channel. but that is not ubuntu support specific :/
[21:04] <DJones> MichaelK: That doesn't mean its supported here, this channel only supports official releases of ubuntu
[21:04] <bazhang> !alis | MichaelK
[21:05] <MichaelK> ok. Sorry I didn't know.. I'm new to all of this
[21:05] <EriC^^> Curiosity4tech: did you try starting cairo with/without the opengl support to see if it works right?
[21:06] <Frank_Leach> Hi...I wanted to chat to someone about becoming a sysadmin
[21:06] <Frank_Leach> can anyone share some experience?
[21:06] <parmiggiano> owen1: I've never heard of a keyboard issue in linux. if you want to be sure, try the live CD with which you installed ubuntu and see if the keys work again there
[21:07] <owen1> parmiggiano: good idea. thanks
[21:07] <EriC^^> owen1: as parmiggiano suggested, or you could try to enter the bios and see if one of they work
[21:07] <guntbert> !ot | Frank_Leach
[21:07] <parmiggiano> good night everyone!
[21:07] <Frank_Leach> Sorry guys...thanks, I will go there to ot
[21:08] <owen1> EriC^^: he didn't say bios. he said live cd
[21:08] <EriC^^> owen1: i know, i said or you could try ..
[21:09] <owen1> EriC^^: (: thanks. i'll try both
[21:11] <Frank_Leach> how do i jump to #ubuntu offtopic?

[21:12] <mosez_> what is the easiest way to install ubuntu server through libvirt on kvm? i can find only graphical guides -.-
[21:13] <samiam> libvirt using virt-manager
[21:14] <samiam> but I tend to only use qemu-kvm cmd
[21:15] <mosez_> hum... currently running a macbook locally, so no virt-manager -.-
[21:16] <OnkelTem> How to disable KDE affecting my samba server? I see shares I didn't create, my shares created via smb.conf are not in effect. Total crap
[21:17] <samiam> mosez_, guess you could compile it if there is no binary for mac http://virt-manager.org/
[21:17] <bekks> OnkelTem: Disable KDE shares then, they arent enabled by default.
[21:19] <samiam> mosez_, yup here it is https://gist.github.com/holms/8324973
[21:24] <anonymous_> hello by cool :p
[21:24] <mosez_> samiam: thx, i will look into that
[21:26] <samiam> mosez_, using cmd just to start a server is really easy too. Not like you are passing though graphics cards with IOMMU vt-d etc.
[21:26] <disappeared> newb question, when create a new from cmd line, how come i don’t have access to binaries that root has.  is that cause i need to change the path file manually
[21:27] <awolf> hey guys
[21:27] <awolf> i need some help my ubuntu software center wont allow me to install anything the install button is disabled anyone can help out
[21:27] <awolf> ?
[21:28] <guntbert> disappeared: sorry, your question doesn't make any sense to me
[21:28] <samiam> awolf, find your warez like "aptitude search gimp" and then sudo apt-get install -your program-
[21:28] <disappeared> i didn’t mean path file i meant path env variable
[21:29] <disappeared> yup that worked
[21:30] <guntbert> disappeared: can you try and make a complete sentence?
[21:30] <awolf> #samiam yes I know that method but this is pissing me off i need to fix it
[21:30] <disappeared> guntbert: Sorry, i basically created a new user and i simply needed to update my $PATH env var to access some binaries.  got it now thanks
[21:31] <samiam> disappeared, everybody should be able to use binaries that are in /usr/local/bin/
[21:31] <samiam> at least in Debian you will find that stuff in there is for group "staff" I put my scripts and stuff in there.
[21:31] <disappeared> samiam: It was a prebuilt image from digital ocean so it had other stuff installed…ruby in particular
[21:32] <disappeared> not in that path
[21:32] <guntbert> disappeared: ah - the word "user" was missing :)
[21:32] <samiam> is it under /opt  ?
[21:32] <disappeared> i just copied over the path from root onto my new user that did the trick

[21:36] <Chaser> Sorry hasty paste. I was planning on asking what should I be doing ? A bit of googling suggests I remove /var/lib/apt/lists/*
[21:39] <EriC^^> Chaser: try sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/us.archive.ubuntu.com*i18n*

[21:39] <lyle> If I copy all my files in the "home" directory to another computer with same version of Ubuntu will that move all my programs and such ?  Hopefully not drivers.
[21:39] <EriC^^> lyle: nope only anything that's in the home dir, and your configs
[21:41] <lyle> Hey Eric I want to move all my programs and stuff to a laptop I installed Ubuntu on.  How should I go about it?

[21:43] <Chaser> EriC^^: Thanks, worked !
[21:46] <lix> Good day. I have a weird issue with dm-crypt using GN/Linux kernel 3.16.0-25: I think my SSD disk ran full and as I use full disc encryption, when entering the passphrase the encrypted partition doesnt mount, I just get the error "FIFO underrun" (the disk has 3 partitions, swap, the grub partition and the full disk). Also trying to mount the disk on another system fails. The only thing which works is booting the system using the "ubuntu rescue" opti
[21:47] <sl1rpy> why is gedit so unstable on 14.10 when it worked fine under 14.04?
[21:47] <lyle> is "apt-clone" a program or a terminal command?
[21:48] <bazhang> !info apt-clone | lyle
[21:48] <awolf> lyle: apt-clone allows you to maintain a uniform library on multiple workstations its a terminal command and a program
[21:49] <EriC^^> awolf: does it keep the dependencies sane?
[21:50] <lyle> "sudo apt-get install apt-clone" will install the script?
[21:50] <bazhang> yes
[21:51] <lix> w
[21:51] <EriC^^> lyle: you should check if the dependencies remain in tact
[21:51] <onla> how to check outgoing traffic for connections to news-bbc.podzone[.]org or 80.248.65.183 http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/12/powerful-highly-stealthy-linux-trojan-may-have-infected-victims-for-years/
[21:52] <awolf> EriC^^: you must be careful regarding dependency issues
[21:52] <EriC^^> awolf: exactly, if it only installs all the packages in the system then the dependencies won't be right
[21:52] <awolf> I dont know if it would work out but if you install synaptic and try fixing the packages would work. although i wouldnt recommend it
[21:53] <EriC^^> awolf: i don't know, come to think of it, when you apt-get remove doesn't apt-get just check which dependencies are in the info and remove accordingly? or does it make a list of which packages depend on what when they are installed?
[21:54] <EriC^^> if you install zenmap and it install nmap, and you use apt-clone which installs nmap and zenmap seperately, if you remove nmap will it also remove zenmap?
[21:55] <VoidMainFunction> anybody help me out plz? I'm trying to edit my VPN connections on my network tab for ubuntu

[21:59] <lyle> You guys I hate to admit this.  I don't know how to tell it the destination path.   Can you guys send me a link where I can read about these commands and the "directory tree"?
[21:59] <EriC^^> awolf: yeah i just tried it and it does remove dependencies, even if they were seperately installed :)
[21:59] <lyle> Eric is that good or bad?
[21:59] <awolf> lyle: this defines where you want to save the output of apt-clone
[21:59] <EriC^^> lyle: that's great
[22:00] <EriC^^> apt-clone away..
[22:00] <lyle> I need to learn how to tell it the path.  Sometimes the websites assume you know certain things.

[22:16] <gp> trying to setup instance with best possibility of success to run asterisk
[22:17] <bekks> gp: a vm cant guarantuee realtime services.
[22:17] <joel__> Has anyone installed Ubuntu to a USB drive to work off of?
[22:17] <gp> guarantuee and best possibility of success are different though
[22:18] <bubbasaures> many joel__
[22:18] <yorwos> hey guyz , does any1 know of any tools for making a ddp image ?
[22:18] <gp> have seen a few reports of usable results from ec2. just nothing with much of a guide...
[22:19] <bubbasaures> joel__, full installs and just the iso's both have their limitations.
[22:19] <samiam> joel__, guess you could just dd a live image to a usb.
[22:19] <joel__> GREAT!!! I'm trying to do just that without any success. I keep getting GRUB on startup and either have to wait 8 seconds or select the in first choice. Is there a problem with my GRUB install?
[22:19] <jortden> hi, I installed Bumblebee on my T410 and now my res is stuck at 1024x768 . I dont have a xorg.conf apparently so most help topics from Google are pointless.
[22:19] <bekks> jortden: So just create a xorg.conf then?
[22:20] <bubbasaures> joel__, grub has a timed wait at boot, can you tell us what you have actually done from the start?
[22:20] <jortden> then put what in it? i dont know what to write to use my res

[22:57] <mirak_> how to flysh dns cache ?
[22:57] <mirak_> what is the correct way to add dns ?
[23:03] <I-am-Groot> Hello
[23:03] <I-am-Groot> My PC running ubuntu 14.04 has started having this problem
[23:04] <I-am-Groot> when playing music through headset, the right speaker/channel doesnt play well
[23:04] <VoidMainFunction> Nolan Heating & Cooling
[23:04] <Bashing-om> mirak_: In a manually contolled network, one can edit the file " /etc/network/interfaces " and add the 'nameservers' .
[23:04] <I-am-Groot> its more like its lower than the right speaker/channel
[23:04] <VoidMainFunction>   anybody have a answer for my question plz??? All of sudden my "save" box is all grayed out when editing or trying to add/edit a VPN connection
[23:04] <I-am-Groot> this doesnt happen with my onboard speaker
[23:04] <VoidMainFunction> I also can't connect to any saved vpns
[23:04] <VoidMainFunction> ;[
[23:04] <Tigerken> Have you checked the balance of that audio output?
[23:05] <mirak_> Bashing-om, but can i have a automatic network and just manual dns ?
[23:07] <samiam> using Debian GNU/Linux wheezy with xfce. Thought I would try Unity on Debian. Where is the Ubuntu source code located?
[23:07] <Bashing-om> mirak_: I think ( I do not run Network Manager ) one can add the nameservers in the GUI for Network Manager . - IF you have Network Manager installed .
[23:07] <I-am-Groot> Yea i have Tigerken
[23:07] <mirak_> they blocked the dns of some site in my country
[23:07] <I-am-Groot> i even tried moving the slide to favor the right speaker/channel but then the sound becomes lower
[23:07] <mirak_> I have to use other dns servers
[23:08] <samiam> mirak just install tor and then pipe port 53 into it.
[23:09] <Bashing-om> mirak_: IF you have Network Managr instlled , change the nameserver in the application ( right click on NM in the task bar ) .
[23:09] <Bashing-om> installed*
[23:10] <samiam> mirak_ can find DNSPort in /etc/tor/torrc and change to port 53.  Have your nameserver listen to 127.0.0.1
[23:10] <mirak_> samiam, ?
[23:11] <samiam> mirak_, all your DNS stuff will go though tor and cant be encored. I do it since I dont want my isp snooping my dns stuff though.
[23:12] <mirak_> samiam, but you installed tor
[23:12] <samiam> yeah just apt-get install tor
[23:12] <mirak_> samiam, i will look into this later
[23:12] <mirak_> samiam, i just need for one site
[23:13] <Hilikus> since i updated to 14.10 whenver ubuntu starts the network manager doesn't connect to the network. I see the "auto ethernet" connection and just clicking on it connects and everything is fine, but how can i change it so that it connects to it automatically?
[23:17] <erry> any command i can use on ubuntu to retrieve the ssl certificate from an imap server that uses starttls?
[23:18] <martino> !list
[23:18] <lickalott> Hilikus, if no one else answers (smarter than me) i would make a script and throw it in /etc/rc2.d or /etc/init.d and make a softlink to rc2.d
[23:19] <squinty> Hilikus:  only have 14.04 here but there is a tick box for "Automatically connect to this network when available" in the Edit Connections > Ethernet > Wired Connection 1 (highlight applicable name at your end of things) > Edit > General
[23:19] <erry> ah nvm
[23:19] <erry> i managed to make my email client do it ^^

[23:23] <lickalott> i just came to help.
[23:24] <daftykins> lickalott: then keep quiet until a question is asked
[23:25] <lickalott> whats your deal?  I answered a question and was just responding to someone else's complaint.
[23:29] <rypervenche> lickalott: Don't take it personally. It just helps keep unneeded spam from the channel. We get a lot of people text in the channel.
