[00:13] daftykins did you get that [00:13] ok, thanks :) [00:14] Mega1: No, you got disconnected for flooding because you did not use the URL daftykins proposed to you. [00:14] Mega1: no, you're meant to paste to paste.ubuntu.com for us :) [00:14] if someone else can take over though, i have to go attend to food now \o [00:14] (i was going to just say to remove some old kernels of course) [00:17] Mega1: what's up?

[00:34] is 83% normal use for sda1 [00:34] Mega1: that really depends on the size === MartynKeigher is now known as MartynKeigher-AW [00:35] Mega1: you are usig kernel ..39.. - and you can delete all those "lower number kernels".

I made a swap partition although it boots straight to windows instead of giving me a grub menu. I can only boot into ubuntu through the installation DVD (boot from disk). How can i get the grub option for ubuntu/windows without having to wipe data? === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [02:32] s0ny: if you installed both EFI, you need to set your system to boot from the hard disk instead of 'Windows Boot Manager' [02:33] !ultimate | s0ny [02:33] s0ny: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [02:33] s0ny: install grub into mbr of your hd, it should create both entries [02:33] s0ny: sorry, ultimate edition isn't supported [02:34] that !ultimate factoid alias is of minimal benefit... no ultimate channel listed :( [02:34] well it does say to check the website [02:35] fkdkm: could I use grub customizer? [02:35] s0ny: you'd have to ask ultimate edition support for that [02:35] i have no idea whatthat is [02:35] we only support ubuntu here [02:35] ok...but it is based on ubuntu [02:36] thanks anyways [02:36] Ben64: i can bet their grub is taken straight from ubuntu [02:36] fkdkm: maybe, but the fact remains that anything other than ubuntu isn't supported in this channel [02:37] I cannot find their support [02:37] go to their website [02:38] s0ny: already told you the answer anyway :) [02:38] there is a channel here on #Freenode, #UltimateEdition .. but 2 people in it [02:39] must be their worldwide user base ;) [02:39] how can I install security updates in 14.10? [02:41] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:42] very funny, Ben64 [02:42] not a joke, that is the answer [02:43] it will install trash updates too, which is not needed [02:44] how do you differentiate that? just about every update is a security one [02:44] fkdkm: disable all but the security repos, then Ben64 is correct - why you would do that though is a matter for a sanity check [02:45] <7YUAALVIX> my audio no longer works after updating how can I fix this? [02:51] s0ny: psst, did you actually see my message or not understand it? [02:51] ubuntu is nothing without Internet [02:52] Good evening; trying to install 14.04 Trusty, have tried twice from different dvd's with different copies of the iso as well as from usb, When i boot up it goes fine until it gets to the partitioning part where it should ask me what partition i want to use but instead it is totally blank (i have 4 partitions). any ideas? [02:54] Tweaker_: what computer type? are you typing from a booted live session on this computer right now? [02:54] Tweaker_: fyi, if you're using an msdos partition table, then 4 primary partitions is the maximum... if that's the case, then ubuntu has no where to install to... [02:55] daftykins: Yes liveCD. All partitions are NTFS. [02:55] Tweaker_: can you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" in a terminal please [02:56] daftykins: I understand what you are saying to do, just trying to figure out how to do it. Still not too good with linux [02:57] s0ny: it's not actually Linux at all, it's the boot device choice inside your system's BIOS/EFI setup screens [02:57] ok i ran that command [02:57] who's captain gallagher [02:57] I'm Captain Gallagher!

[02:58] oh wait... sorry, user error [02:58] when I try to use sudo, I get the error 'unable to resolve host'. this is apparently because /etc/hostname does not agree with /etc/hosts but since I cannot use sudo I do not know how I can edit these files [02:58] s0ny: usually you press a key to enter your setup screen, e.g. delete, F2, F10... depends on your system [02:59] hello. sudo apt-get install ia32-libs isnt working. it says it has no installation candidate. what can i do?

[03:14] i do have gparted live around here someplace, and a partition program in windows... i know one partition is a recovery partition which is rather small, one is windows7, one is wubi, and one is storage. was going to install over the partition that contains nothing but wubi [03:14] hey -- i have 7 packages can be updated. 7 updates are security updates. -- what is the best way to update?

[04:10] daftykins its that /dev/sda3 partition x.x its extended and has 60 gigs unallocated. (thats where i wanted to put it, anyhow) [04:10] hmmmm got this PC back in like 2012 [04:11] maybe 2011 [04:11] tell you what there are two pics here [04:11] !uefi [04:11] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [04:11] one is of a black background and white text menu, the other is the purple backed with logo [04:12] i definately have a bios. [04:13] well, some that are EFI still have the old style BIOS looking utility so it can be a surprise [04:13] is it possible you have a machine with a funky disk setup - like RAID? [04:14] Tweaker_: you want dualboot or full hd ubuntu? [04:14] hello [04:14] definately have raid. dual boot [04:14] Hmm, Ubuntu doesn't find 1 HDD. HDD is connected in via SATA data cable and powered. Woud ubuntu see the HDD if it was faulty with command $ fdisk -l [04:14] glitch1: welcome [04:15] linuxmint: if gparted cant see the drive, might be dead [04:15] Tweaker_: sooo, two disks mirrored (RAID 1) or? [04:15] lotuspsychje: yes, possible. Would be good to have a command to diagnose HDDs, as some faults I fix with a new format. [04:15] its one single 1GB sata drive [04:15] I have a qeustion about wget. How do I tell it to download all links from a website including links to resources on another domain, but only do it 1 link deep [04:16] "wget --recursive --html-extension --span-hosts -e robots=off --convert-links --timeout=8 -t 4 web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/" is what I have so far [04:16] man wget [04:16] man page ahs been of no help [04:16] glitch1: or join the #wget guys [04:16] glitch1: --level=depth [04:16] glitch1: yes, the man pages need better real life examples. [04:17] glitch1: from a - z step by step process, for noobs to learn their programs. [04:17] linuxmint: did your drive work on another Os? [04:17] It's not they they need examples, it's just that they need to explain how and why a certain command or option works the way it does [04:17] Just giving it and adding a vague summary of what it does doesn't help at all [04:17] lotuspsychje: yes, the HDD didn't have 'Faulty' written on the HDD as per other faulty HDDs. [04:18] linuxmint: whats the hd brand? [04:18] anwyays as far as --level=1 that also makes it go only 1 level deep on the website that I want it to completely crawl [04:18] lotuspsychje: I guess I would like to thoroughly text the HDD before calling it faulty. [04:18] well when a man page fails, i google. [04:18] *test [04:19] daftykins, i guess i could check that out, but i know i had ubuntu on here before. i will go check the bios to see if i can find out [04:19] daftykins: yes, but some nerd snobs laugh if you have to google. [04:19] glitch1: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20030148/wget-doesnt-download-recursively-after-following-a-redirect [04:19] if you don't google before you come here, you need to be tortured with just me and a penguin. [04:19] daftykins Unless you're on OpenBSD the man pages fail as a rule rather an exception, at least in my experience [04:20] glitch1: with --span-links showing on the man page "Enable spanning across hosts when doing recursive retrieving" [04:20] somsip That gives me an idea, thanks [04:21] glitch1: and I'm fine with admitting, man page and second search result in google did it for m [04:21] me [04:22] somsip Nope, doesn't work [04:22] linuxmint: even a pro support user will google, we are never too old for learning right [04:22] hi all [04:22] aotianlong: welcome [04:22] The reason I want to use wget is so I don't have to download a bunch of accessory files with different extensions manually, but restricting it to those domains means I might as well go and download each and every file manually in the first place [04:23] some one can help me ? all my domains on godaddy are stolen by some one . [04:23] lotuspsychje: we are all teachers and students [04:23] lotuspsychje: yes, but I was laughed at a lot for using google. The wannabe pros thought they were too cool for school.

[04:35] lotuspsychje: hmm, the autolayout does not coincide with the MOBO's SATA port number 1,2,3 and 4. [04:35] wow it is 1.1 gb [04:35] it was generally 800mb [04:35] linuxmint: bios helps arrange layout, and see where the Os installed === fengshaun is now known as feng [04:38] lotuspsychje: yes, I'm in the BIOS now and finds the 4 HDDs as SATA 1, 2, 3 and 4, but Ubuntu seems to # fdisk -l the HDDs in the wrong order. I would expect SATA 1 to be /dev/sda and SATA 2 to be /dev/sdb etc... [04:39] lotuspsychje: yes, BIOS looks in order with HDD sizes and Vendor names. [04:39] lotuspsychje: so it seems Unix has messed up the /dev/sda naming. [04:39] linuxmint: depends maybe if one HD is dead or not, you dont get a warning on bootup? [04:39] what was the ntfs checking software on ubuntu? [04:40] lotuspsychje: this Ubuntu computer with 4 HDDs seems to be working nicely, except for the /dev/sda naming. [04:40] !ntfs | hellyeah [04:40] hellyeah: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [04:40] actually my question is different [04:40] linuxmint: you said 1 drive cant be seen on ubuntu? === michael__ is now known as Guest88848 [04:40] as far as i know there s a software for checking and repairing ntfs partition. [04:41] hellyeah: data recovery? [04:41] like chkdsk [04:41] it is like maintenance [04:42] lotuspsychje: yes, sorry, that was computer2, to be the NFS client with 2 HDDs. I can't check the BIOS on computer 2, so now I'm trying to finish computer1. [04:42] kk [04:43] linuxmint: not sure about how ubuntu chooses the sdX order, but i guess its all based on how the machine boots [04:44] linuxmint: another sata layout, you would have to switch sata cables to sata1 sata2 etc [04:44] linuxmint: lotuspsychje: the sdX order can change! it can't be relied on... udev rules might help [04:44] ^ why UUIDs or LABELs should be used instead [04:45] zykotick9: ok tnx, but why would someone choose to change different instead or the auto recognition? [04:45] lotuspsychje: yes, I thought about switching the cables, but the cables are in correct order, which I'd like to keep. === m1dnight1 is now known as m1dnight_ [04:45] zykotick9: ok, I'll let the /dev order go. [04:46] lotuspsychje: sorry, i'm not clear on what you're asking [04:46] zykotick9: well in his scenario, ubuntu chooses the sdX automaticly, why would a user change this order exactly? [04:47] lotuspsychje: short answer - they shouldn't. reboot number 101 and suddenly sda become sdb :(.. [04:47] zykotick9: well thats what i mean, ubuntu has a logic to name sdX right? [04:48] lotuspsychje: the kernel has a quasi-logic but it's fungable... again, you can't rely on sdX naming, period. [04:48] kk [04:49] !uuid | linuxmint thanks to zykotick9 [04:49] linuxmint thanks to zykotick9: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [04:49] * zykotick9 would recommend using LABELs over UUIDs... but YMMV [04:50] !label | zykotick9 like this? [04:50] zykotick9 like this?: To rename the labels of your partitions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive. [04:52] lotuspsychje: yup. e2lable for extX partitions. LABELs can be used with "mount" commands or fstab [04:52] zykotick9: ok tnx for info [04:52] s/e2lable/e2label/ [04:54] I have a problem with Xubuntu 14.04, my settings app has dissappeared from my whisker menu. It might be related to this change: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/14.04.6 [04:54] How do I put it back? [05:01] I just move the 1st HDD out of it's bay slighty to check the top label and the monitor went snowy and black. Now the tower LED power light won't show and monitor is black. CPU fans runs, but can't access BIOS? [05:01] nevermind I figured out the command for the settings manager and launched it from terminal and fixed it [05:02] !topics [05:04] Should I reboot the CMOS or something. MOBO seems to run the CPU fan? [05:08] OerHeks: Thanks for the Windows 7 link! It helped me see the Ubuntu partitions. Still having trouble writing to ext3 and ext4 partitions, though; however, the change log says that this will be fixed in the next upgrade. I look forward to it. I'm still new to it, so I don't know what all I can do, but I've tackled the problem before to no avail. [05:08] The problem with getting Windows to see Linux partitions, that is. Again, thanks! [05:10] I have tried to restart ubuntu in recovery mode by pressing the shift key during boot but this does not appear to be working [05:11] the most I have been able to do is reach the grub shell by hitting esc, but I do not know how to start recovery mode from that point === mike is now known as Guest44520 === Guest44520 is now known as M1ke [05:14] erisco: to enter grub, its holding shift at boot, then select the ubuntu(recoverymode) from your list [05:14] as I said, I am holding the shift key but nothing is happening [05:14] my system just boots normally [05:15] erisco: you have dualboot with windows? [05:16] !recovery | erisco [05:16] erisco: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [05:16] ... never mind [05:19] Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64 and am having a problem with choppy audio in DOSBox 0.74. Is anyone available & able to help? [05:20] what would one use to manage multiple linux servers and desktops that has a gui [05:21] If the machines all have X installed, vnc works well. [05:22] Ruler2112: I am kina looking for something that would broadcast commands and do some monitoring [05:22] hi daftykins === DrGonzo is now known as Guest17437 [05:23] I have been using ssh to manage them ... but its a pain to have to do all the time .. theres got to be something out there that i can setup to watch them all and remind me to do things [05:23] jgcampbell400: Ahhhh.... gotcha. Sorry - I don't know of anything that would do what you ask, though I'm certain there are tools for such a task. [05:24] anyone had any exp with clusterssh [05:24] Having issues installing 14.04... When i get to installation type no partitions are listed, i even have a ext3 partition blank and ready to be installed upon..any ideas? [05:25] I wrote a series of scripts that monitors for my employer, but it's little more than a heartbeat program with status of the machine (disk space, process status, etc) and the server it reports to then notifies me. [05:25] jgcampbell300: no gui, but I find ansible an easy way to admin large numbers of servers [05:25] Tweaker_: is there any RAID? [05:25] SunStar: My PC does say something about RAID at startup [05:25] Ruler2112: Nagios. [05:26] thanks gona go look those two up [05:26] Anyone here familiar with DOSBox? Specifically, I'm having issues with choppy sound when the speech/sound effects play in the original Lands of Lore. [05:26] Tweaker_ look at the motherboard and make sure you have the drives plugged into the corect ports (might want to check the manual) also consult the BIOS to disable any onboard RAID [05:27] Sunstar: Only 1 physical internal 1GB Sata Drive [05:28] SunStar, also i am able to access and mount said partitions via livecd while "trying ubuntu" [05:28] i don't know your motherboard, but it mentions RAID and some have dedicated ports for that and using them tends to be an issue [05:28] orlock: LOL - that's funny... I basically spent 3 weeks rewriting that project because I didn't know it existed. [05:29] can you write data to the partition? [05:29] sunstar: yes [05:30] i had this exact issue on a computer a couple of weeks ago. drive was plugged into a port that was dedicated to raid. i could mount the partition but i couldnt install to it. couldnt write data through either. had to change physical ports [05:30] is there data on this partition? [05:30] try using gparted to destroy and rebuilt the tables [05:31] sunstar: ok i will try that. [05:32] jgcampbell300: Terminator also works very well. [05:32] hi [05:32] is there/what is a good Git GUI for ubuntu? [05:32] jgcampbell300: I find Terminator to be a bit more user-friendly than clusterssh, but both work. If you need help with it I can find you a tutorial on the net. [05:33] I know I can use the good ol' terminal, but a gui would make my life just that much easier [05:34] rypervenche: i have used Terminator before ... think i may give clusterssh a try ... thanks [05:34] sunstar: the partition i have set aside for ubuntu is inside an extended partition. does that matter? [05:36] it should work, but a primary logical would be better [05:38] Tweaker: I've had issues installing operating systems in extended partitions before. Some machines BIOS requires the OS bootstrap loader in the first 1024 cylinders. (Don't know if this is what you're running into though.) [05:39] i havent run into that issue on sata, becides thats where grub shloud be going anyway [05:39] I'm having issues with choppy sound when the speech/sound effects play in the original Lands of Lore in DOSBox 0.74. Is anyone here familiar with DOSBox? [05:39] if i remember correctly, there is a room here on freenode for dosbox [05:40] Ruler2112: I use ScummVM for DOS games personally. I would recommend giving that a shot. [05:40] #dosbox is the room [05:40] rypervenche: I've not heard of that - I'll give it a shot. Thanks. [05:41] sunstar: Thanks - I'll join that channel. [05:41] hey, does anyone understand why I can't hibernate in 14.04 (/home and full disk encryption enabled, nothing else unique) ? [05:42] is it a limitation due to the encryption selected, or just for my laptop? [05:42] hibernation is disabled by default. [05:42] oh [05:42] so how do I turn it back on [05:42] that's like, my favorite feature [05:44] http://askubuntu.com/questions/94754/how-to-enable-hibernation [05:44] bbryant ^^ [05:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html [05:44] thank you [05:44] lol SunStar, I was 5 seconds before you [05:44] ;] [05:45] but mine is encrypted [05:45] and official n stuff [05:46] ... [05:47] askubuntu is also pretty much official [05:47] yup. but this is better brought to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:49] ok, so I followed those instructions [05:49] restarted [05:49] and nothing [05:49] no change [05:50] you know that to hibernate you need to type "sudo pm-hibernate" [05:50] right? [05:50] is your swap partition at least as big as your RAM? does whats in your SWAP now + whats in RAM now exceed SWAP? [05:51] MDTech-us_MAN: I can't set that up in power options [05:51] or anything? [05:51] I don't remember [05:51] lotuspsychje: I pulled out the HDD that wasn't found. It's a Seagate Barracuda. Am testing on another computer now.

[05:58] i would go into BIOS setting and see what there is to look at for RAID and if it can be disabled [05:58] it might be setting it up as a single drive raid0 [05:59] hmm i wonder if puppet would do it [06:03] SunStar, if i remember correctly the drive is set to RAID, i can try changing that. i'm going to try updating first and see if that helps any.. if not i will do that [06:04] Sunstar: I DID at one time have i think 10.04 installed, not sure what the issue is.. if its a bug i am hoping update helps === feng is now known as fg === fg is now known as feng === feng is now known as fng [06:09] hmm is there something wrong with the repos ? [06:09] don't think so, mine is updating now [06:09] hmm i must be having some issues ... thanks [06:11] think ill just get some sleep ... thanks [06:13] hi, [06:13] hey guys! am i going to have any trouble installing ubuntu over windows 8? like with safeboot etc? [06:14] I'm unable to boot ubuntu after I removed/moved some og\f my HDD's around. I get to the initramfs command line and that's it [06:15] ok, HDD works in another computer. Other computer won't download gparted, stopping me reformatting the HDD. I suspect the MOBO is blown, but no clear way to tell. CPU fan does run. [06:15] Note that I corrected the Grub2 menuentry so get this far as the Ubuntu Parirtion name/number has changed from /sdd7 to /sdc6 but ubuntu seems to still try to load /sdd7 as the root partition [06:17] Anyone here uses Ajenti? I am trying to setup an email server to create emails, and i can't manage to figure out how to do that. [06:18] MichaelHabib, Have you looked in fstab of the OS controlling grub? [06:21] MichaelHabib, resizing partitions and moving generate new UUID's as seen in sudo blkid [06:22] how can i set emacs short cuts to firefox. So that I can learn Emacs while I use Firefox. Is it possible? [06:22] Something wrong with the network connectivity to security.ubuntu.com, I am having issues downloading the recent kernel updates and mtr is showing very high latency on the last hop. [06:22] inerkick: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/firemacs/ [06:23] bubbasaures: the move was just moving the hdd from one SATA slot to another, no changes to parition size,name or UUID . I already checked the UUID it It's still the same [06:23] is that helps to learn emacs through same shortcuts while i use firefox somsip [06:23] bubbasaures: , I can "boot" to ubuntu but get stuck at final stages while it still tries to find the partition by it's old name (was /sdd7 now its /sdc6 ) [06:24] MichaelHabib, you updated grub right, have to ask? [06:24] bubbasaures: yeh , and I will tripple check it now [06:25] MichaelHabib, More that one linux OS here? [06:26] sorry 'than' or raid? [06:27] bubbasaures: I have nother min install but it hasnt been used for over a month , this ubutnu OS is the only os used on this PC (doing HDD cleanup and backup now ) [06:29] for example, do i want uefi or csm os mode? [06:29] or do i even need to touch it [06:29] !uefi | BUSY [06:29] BUSY: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware.

[06:46] alteregoa: yeh [06:47] BUSY: convert to GPT 1st [06:47] goodle: it's already partitioned with gpt according to "disks" [06:47] afaik its the root= entry instead of /dev/sda UUID=UUID [06:48] windows cant boot from GPT without EUFI bios but linux can [06:49] yay for linux [06:49] in the end i just want to boot to ubuntu, can i format the fresh windows install off the disk?

[08:26] and the secondary paste buffer where you can physically copy & paste [08:26] you cn scroll with the middle mouse button [08:26] can [08:26] although you seem to be having problems with both. [08:26] that's just an FYI [08:26] no i cant [08:27] goodle: can you use the middle mouse button to scroll in any app ? [08:27] im talking clicking the mid mouse button [08:27] maybe the problem is my terminal? [08:27] not rolling the wheel [08:27] clicking the middle mouse button ? what do you expect it to do ? [08:27] you get the round cursor [08:27] ah you mean holding it down [08:27] that lets you keep the page scrooling [08:27] is there a better terminal than xterm? [08:28] i mean click [08:28] I think that's going to be a problem as the middle mouse button is setup as an input (for cut and paste for example) you'd have to re-map your mouse buttons [08:29] i think the problem is i don't have a Ctrl button on my keyboard [08:29] cut and paste is in the left mouse button options [08:29] thorie: macs have a ctrl button [08:29] oh yeah it does have one [08:29] why isn't this working :( [08:29] goodle: it's also the middle as a legacy [08:30] thats why i cant use linux === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [08:31] nothing works as expected [08:31] well the same goes for windows now days [08:32] thorie did you try shift+insert? http://askubuntu.com/a/263207 [08:32] i don't have a Insert key in my keyboard [08:32] shift+insert sound about right since you really need to use both hands [08:33] goodle: drop the sarcasm, [08:33] i have fn, control, alt, option, command, and this weird twisted pretzel symbol [08:33] its working fine on my windows [08:33] its working fine on my windows its working fine on my windows its working fine on my windows its working fine on my windows [08:35] i posted my question for help on a ubuntu forum for how to copy-and-paste [08:35] hopefully somebody will respond [08:37] you seriously have no insert key? i didn't know that...happened [08:37] what kind of laptop do you have [08:37] yup macs dont have insert keys [08:37] Apple Macbook Pro [08:37] or page up/down keys [08:37] there must be an alternative? [08:37] hense why i have a ubuntu vm on it because i couldn't use vim :/ [08:37] you can remap keys - buyt you need an app for that >.> [08:38] i would happily put a sledgehammer through my mbp :D [08:39] guess my hybrid graphics asus isn't so bad after all [08:39] it's probably for the best that i can't even try to game on the productive side of my laptop....hooray dual booting i guess [08:40] Is there a reason Ubuntu and/or BIOS doesn't find a HDD, but HDD is fine on Linux Mint? [08:40] though i suppose having my insert as the alternate function of my numpad 0 is weird too [08:41] is there a way to copy-and-paste without using the mouse? [08:41] or any keyboard short-cuts? [08:45] get a clipboard manager thorie, set it to use primary selection, paste with middle mouse button [08:45] if you use kde or xfce they should already come with one [08:45] xangua: he's on a mac [08:45] ooh...I'm confused === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga [08:50] any one have xrdp and xfce4 working...getting a grey screen [08:51] went through almost every site on the interwebs [09:00] Hey how can I set my Lubuntu/Ubuntu to NEVER go to sleep or shutdown my screen? X and GUI seems to break into pieces and just never recoveres when I resuem [09:00] resume` [09:02] i wonder if there is a tool to let me emulate Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V [09:02] cart_man.... system settings, power options and brightness+lock options [09:02] but...why not fix the graphics problem instead? [09:05] Hey guys, how does one disable touchpad edges in ubuntu 14.10? Also it would be nice if the edges are available then dragging from the undisabled part? [09:05] Does anyone have an idea? [09:07] http://askubuntu.com/a/387592 <--trackpad stuff [09:08] for me...all i can do is disable or enable the whole touchpad from the terminal because....asus laptop? haven't sorted it all yet [09:08] ciao [09:08] hello after an update i restarted ubuntu and it alway return back to os selection page. what should I do ? [09:09] what do you mean by os-selection page? bootloader/grub? [09:10] fidel_: yes, the page where it suggest me whether I want ubuntu or windows , I select ubuntu and then it again returns back to this page [09:11] thats not a page - its grub (most likely) ;) [09:11] here's one solution: http://askubuntu.com/a/143503 [09:11] fidel_: Yes it's grub [09:11] hello guys [09:11] motaka2: do you see any errors after choosing ubuntu in grub? [09:12] my printer is unable to be detected by ubuntu I have already install hplip [09:12] no [09:13] I have a asus laptop [09:13] fidel_: no [09:16] anyone? [09:17] zenn, i have no experience with it, have you checked out this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226631 [09:17] zenn ... what does cups show? [09:17] nothing [09:18] lsusb?

Never needed to install extra packages. [09:20] Zenn: have you gone here http://www.openprinting.org/drivers [09:20] You triple checked the power and the usb cables? [09:21] HP Deskjet f2120 All-in-one Printer HP Deskjet f2100 Series hpijs, 3.10.6.15 [09:21] that's my printer [09:21] how do I enter commands from synclient on boot? [09:21] the power is on [09:21] Is it connected to usb2 or usb3? [09:22] hello after an update i restarted ubuntu and it alway return back to os selection page. what should I do ? [09:23] pretty much it isnt detected at all === Caroga is now known as Caroga_afk === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga [09:26] honestly how do I fix this [09:26] Zenn, sup ? [09:27] motaka2: press e and try to boot manually [09:27] my printer is undetected by ubuntu 14.10 [09:27] how to do that ? [09:28] Zenn, how's the printer connected to the machine [09:28] USB [09:28] 2 or 3 ? [09:29] Is using using itunes through wine realiable to sync with ipod nano 7th generation? [09:29] usb 3 I think [09:29] hmm [09:29] fkdkm: I have pressed e what should I do now? [09:29] so the ubuntu.com docs say i can use iceconf (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IceWM) but when I type apt-cache search iceconf i get package not found... any ideas why? [09:29] Zenn, disable and disconnect your printer, reboot the pc, after reboot run the following in terminal "sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg" === knightshade2 is now known as knightshade [09:30] when it's tailing, press a few enters, and connect your printer on a different USB port, and start your printer. [09:30] motaka2: try to modify the lines around and see to the effect [09:30] hi@ll; i like to know if there is any similar program like "hwinfo" for linux .... a tool that collect all information rich in detail about the system?? (e.g.-pic: http://www.hwinfo.com/img/HWiNFO64_2.png) [09:30] fkdkm: modify what ? [09:31] (btw -- love this channel, love you all. :)) [09:31] humm === root is now known as Guest93141 [09:31] would reboot really fix it? [09:31] Zenn, it's to clear any previous messages, tailing dmesg is just to see what happens when the machine is connected to your printer [09:31] 0 0 [09:31] It could contain an error message which would be helpful [09:32] Otherwise, if not, then running the printers program and install it would be the way to go. [09:32] Every time that I start the Ubuntu system, I receive the message with system error, how to fix this? [09:32] oh it works now [09:32] haha [09:32] Zenn, glad to hear that [09:32] motaka2: pressing E in grub lets you define grubs boot setting for your ubuntu session [09:32] Bus 003 Device 095: ID 03f0:7d04 Hewlett-Packard DeskJet F2100 Printer series [09:33] my laptop is faulty man === HoloIRCUser is now known as HoloIRCUsercjkvv [09:33] fuck [09:33] HexChat: 2.10.1 ** OS: Linux 3.16.0-25-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "utopic" 14.10 ** CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 800MHz ** RAM: Physical: 3.8GiB, 37.2% free ** Disk: Total: 289.4GiB, 78.0% free ** VGA: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[09:36] it ended my android compling as well [09:36] sounds like that would have been in the same process tree then. [09:36] JAVA ?

[09:51] White_Cat, whats up ? [09:51] I am fairly new to linux so I am not exactly a good person to answer questions but let me look never the less [09:51] oh, that's incorrect solution. [09:51] motaka2: what's the question? [09:52] thank you but, that's incorrect. [09:52] Caroga the ISS :D But really I am trying to figure out forwarding port 80 to 8069 [09:52] I achieve this with sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i venet0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8069 | sudo iptables-save [09:52] motaka2 I too cant see your quesiton in my buffer [09:53] Caroga but it stops working on reboot [09:53] White_Cat, you must make that rule persistent [09:53] iLogic: Ubuntu was working , It suggested me several updates. and then asked me to restart. I restarted and now in grub oage when I select ubutu it reboots and return back to grub page [09:53] I also use the ironically named ufw [09:53] Caroga yeah but how? [09:54] White_Cat, there are three how to described on the following page. Choose wisely, young padawan, and you shall have the iptables on your side: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration_on_startup [09:54] yeah I tried that page [09:54] I wasnt able to figure out a solution [09:54] awh, there goes my yedi sensei status... [09:54] jedi* [09:54] w/e. [09:54] what did you tried White_Cat ? [09:54] jedi is like yedi :p [09:54] several things [09:55] mainly trying network manager [09:55] which didnt get me far [09:55] I think ufw overwrites whatever I do === gian is now known as Guest14478 [09:55] it has its own set of rules [09:55] I need to edit those rules maybe [09:55] I really do not know [09:56] motaka2: that sounds terrifying [09:56] White_Cat, have you tried the iptables-persistent package [09:56] ? [09:56] huh [09:56] where am @ damn ;> [09:56] Caroga nope [09:57] I imagine its under apt-get ? [09:57] motaka2: have you tried something like this? http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/776643-how-to-rescue-a-non-booting-grub-2-on-linux/ [09:57] yes. [09:57] See, I have good imagination :p [09:57] iLogic: now I wonder how pressing e on grub page can help me. I know how to use vim or emacs, what I dont know is what should I modify [09:57] . [09:57] White_Cat, then you shall address me as a jedi! [09:57] White_Cat, what you could do is create your iptables configuration, copy it, and autoload it using iptables-persistent [09:58] http://www.microhowto.info/howto/make_the_configuration_of_iptables_persistent_on_debian.html [09:58] iLogic: What is written there is out of my knowledge === nani_ is now known as mushrOOm === mushrOOm is now known as mushrOOm- [10:00] iLogic: previous version get me untill the desktop page but I cant run programs [10:00] eww [10:00] debian [10:00] :D [10:00] Debian ftw! [10:00] oi this is the ubuntu channel ;) [10:01] debian4lyf [10:01] ubuntu4bloat [10:01] * mdoge hides [10:01] * Caroga goes brutal on mdoge [10:01] Caroga is there a way to rerun the izard thing during install [10:01] I want toupdate what it saved [10:01] would iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 be that? [10:01] White_Cat, what wizad u mean ? [10:02] that's saving the current ruleset yes [10:02] it asked if I wanted the current rules to be saved [10:02] ah perfect [10:02] permission denieed [10:03] even with sudo iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4 [10:03] sudo su [10:03] then perform the command again [10:03] as root? ok [10:03] root is woot :( [10:06] Caroga thanks that did the trick :) [10:06] Hi i have some trouble finding infomation on making a "automated script" for when i want to reinstall a new distro. The script must be able to: add ppa sources, apply and then refresh sources and then install the apps i want VLC, skype, Chrome etc. Could i get directed to material needed to make it or could someone please show me how ? [10:06] White_Cat, great!:D [10:07] Maltahl, easiest way to create such scripts would be something like Ansible. [10:07] or just a bash script... [10:07] i was more think a bash script as MrChris said [10:08] Do you even know Ansible ? [10:08] No [10:08] Oke, ill explain. [10:08] Bash == Crap [10:08] Ansible == ftw x 10000 [10:08] Everything you just said, it already knows how to do. [10:08] But i want to know how to do it the old way.... [10:09] Ah, you didnt said that ;) [10:09] ;) [10:09] Oke, well, when does this script has to kick in ? [10:09] i will start the script myself. [10:09] okidoki [10:10] But i just want it to do some commands for me so i can run it and then go grab a coffee and watch a show while it installs all the software i want :) [10:10] That's the point of a script... [10:10] Yup [10:10] or automation in general [10:11] Yeah, what you want to do is create some set of files that together forms your installation script [10:11] Like 1 file which would contain all the packages you want it to install. [10:11] the other file gets it's content and runs that trough apt-get [10:11] I dont mind it downloads [10:11] i have very fast internet [10:11] it should always watch out for stderr and out [10:11] :P [10:12] Maltahl, isnt this a good starter point for you? http://bennuttall.com/bash-batch-install-basics/ [10:12] Shame the gihub link is dead https://github.com/bennuttall/bash-batch-install-basics [10:13] MrChris, https://github.com/jctrl/bash-batch-install-basics/blob/master/installs.sh [10:13] https://github.com/jctrl/bash-batch-install-basics [10:13] https://github.com/jctrl/bash-batch-install-basics [10:13] Yup [10:13] :P [10:13] haha [10:13] master minds [10:13] "search" [10:13] magic [10:13] as if it was ment to do that [10:13] Anyway, Good luck with your script Maltahl [10:14] i was more thinking stuff like: sudo su ; sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio ;sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install obs-studio ; etc more sources and install scripts [10:14] Maltahl, that script is doing just that [10:14] Maltahl, yeah good luck buddy. Most of it is just research, applying what you've learned and failing. Then redo it, and eventually you get there. [10:14] uhh [10:14] thanks [10:15] So, ubuntu [10:15] sounds weird but that's actually the process in learning. [10:15] Maltahl, https://github.com/jctrl/bash-batch-install-basics/blob/master/installs.sh#L21 [10:15] apt-get install $app [10:15] is it possible to extend the default sshd config without editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config? i only want to add something but don't want to maintain it. [10:15] so i just devided the apps with a comma or ? [10:16] use a space between them [10:16] bergelmir what are you trying to add [10:17] MrChris: I want to add an ENV variable to AcceptEnv. [10:19] bergelmir, don't think you can without adding it to sshd_config [10:19] based on my 1mins of research [10:20] couldnt he create a sshd config for only his user? [10:20] something like ~/.ssh/sshd_config ? [10:20] Ubuntu was working , It suggested me several updates. and then asked me to restart. I restarted and now in grub oage when I select ubutu it reboots and return back to grub page [10:21] motaka2, that sux. You should probably try booting using your livecd and debug the problem. [10:21] motaka2: try a different kernel [10:21] or that. [10:21] Caroga, I think you're thinking of SSH not SSHD [10:21] ( advanced > select an old kernel ) [10:21] which you can use a user based config [10:21] MrChris: hmm, i think i can use sed and modify the file instead of adding the whole config into my repository [10:21] Caroga: EriC^^ I dont know what or how to edit or debug [10:22] bergelmir, Sure you could do that [10:22] motaka2, hold on [10:22] Caroga: thx [10:22] motaka2, http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [10:22] but [10:22] motaka2: when grub comes, select advanced, then select an old kernel you have [10:22] motaka2, follow EriC^^'s comment first [10:23] if you are able to login using another kernel then you should do that. [10:24] i found this i can use for copy-paste on my macbook: http://askubuntu.com/questions/130393/how-to-configure-the-touchpad-middle-click [10:24] EriC^^: If by grub you mean when my system is showing OS list. I am there but II dont know where to select advanced [10:24] it should be under the first entry [10:24] MrChris: thanks :) [10:25] bergelmir, for what :P [10:26] MrChris :) [10:26] motaka2, http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZHS9rYL2Lg/UG4ZDAr_-9I/AAAAAAAAFzU/yfKqJwaw7-o/s1600/ubuntu1210-grubbootmenu.jpg [10:26]  [10:26] EriC^^: no I have Ubuntu which goes to desktop but does not work and I have Ubuntu recovery and previous versions and two memory test === sparko is now known as sparko_ [10:26] motaka2: select a previous version [10:26] motaka2: you mean previous kernels right? [10:27] probably does yeah [10:27] Caroga: I dont have the second line [10:27] motaka2, do you have anything saying "recovery mode" behind it ? [10:27] or previous versions ? [10:27] EriC^^: The exact topic is "Previous linux versions" [10:27] anything with the words recovery or previous [10:27] Hello, this question might be abit offtopic but leaving SATA power cables from a ATX psu for example unconnected in a pc case might cause troubles? [10:28] or is this no problem at all [10:28] yes that! [10:28] motaka2: ok, press on that === sparko_ is now known as sparko [10:28] Caroga: the scond one hhas recover mode [10:28] EriC^^: I did [10:28] johncarper, No that's not going to cause any problems [10:28] Ok, thank you Chris :) [10:29] Unless something small and metal goes into the cable and it bursts into flames [10:29] :P [10:29] EriC^^: a long list of previous versions [10:29] hehe [10:29] Hi. I'm struggling with lightdm to let me choose a default user-session for autologin. no matter what i put in the config, the greeter seems to request the ubuntu-session, instad of kodi. any ideas? [10:29] motaka2: select the most recent previous version [10:29] I don't think that will happen when my pc is running :) [10:30] http://pastebin.com/dNGcGH8z - the config [10:30] EriC^^: I have done this. It goes to desktop but it shows me several errors about monitor detections and thunderbird doesnt work [10:34] are there way to change settings for terminal tab switcher? [10:34] now it happens when i press ctrl+alt+page_down [10:34] but it goes back instead forward as i expect [10:37] EriC^^: The most recent version works properly [10:37] Is there anything I should do ? [10:37] found! [10:38] Hi there, anyone here? [10:39] Caroga: Are you there? [10:39] I am :) I'm looking for advice on apache thrift [10:39] how would one go about figuring out freezing issues so far i don't have much to go on other than it seems to happen while typing something (but not in any specific program) [10:39] japro, it could be hardware related [10:40] i can still reisub out and it runs windows fine. which doesn-t rule out hw issues but doesn't suggest it either i guess [10:40] Umm [10:41] i guess just studying syslogs for 'oddities'? [10:43] Hi, is it possible to have ausio out of both the onboard sound and USB sound card simultaneously ? [10:43] audio* [10:44] I have a question. Assuming my ubuntu has around 2 GB of free ram and it still performs slowly, what should I mostly be checking ? Hardware itself or are there any os level stuff that can be tweaked or checked ? [10:44] htop [10:45] install htop and check what cpu load bar colors you see. Blue = disk green = cpu [10:45] and see the memory usage [10:45] eXistenZNL: I am trying it now, gimme a min [10:45] np [10:46] Vivekanand, see http://www.deonsworld.co.za/2012/12/20/understanding-and-using-htop-monitor-system-resources/ on how to read / use it [10:47] i find it a very friendly top replacement [10:47] and oops i said blue = disk its grey [10:49] thanks [10:49] what is the right way to find out the associations of devices in /dev with the physical devices connected? E.g. how do I determine which one is my SD-card reader? [10:50] Hey. I've never used Linux before. I can see Ubuntu is more user friendly but I'm wondering if I could get by with a solid distro like Debian (Yes, I know nothing about Linux). Thanks for your time. [10:51] vroomfondel: in the olden days we used to check dmesg and look at the /proc filesystem [10:55] orlock: df seems to give reasonable hints, no? [10:58] hi [10:58] vroomfondel: sudo parted -l , check the drive's name [11:02] eXistenZNL: the tool looks very useful, I am checking things one by one [11:02] Do you have anything specific that I have to look for ?

Anyway, you probably want those at login time. Type 'startup' in the dash and pick the 'startup application' thing. [14:58] the problem exist yet, My windows minimized when I press "Ctrl+Alt" ;) [14:58] smartin__: check with lsof who's keeping it open [14:58] lsof shows no output for the atop file that was deleted. [14:58] hello can u tell me where i can find themes for kwin on my disc? [14:58] and I have 3 lines, should I append them with && ? [14:58] i installed kwin in xubuntu, now i want to erease default themes [14:59] smartin__: then reboot, /run is on a tmpfs, so it'll be cleared by a reboot :) [14:59] anything I can do besides reboot? [14:59] PCatinean: not sure if the startup applications thing recognizes that. Just make a shellscript out of the 3 commands and add that :) [15:00] hello [15:00] The problem exist yet, My windows minimized when I press "Ctrl+Alt" ;) [15:00] hi lyz [15:01] MasterPiece: hmm, looks like you have a ghost in your computer that presses 0. Call Bill Murray :) [15:01] can you speak chinese? [15:01] lyz: not me but #ubuntu-cn can [15:01] !cn [15:01] 如欲獲得中文的協助,請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:01] what is the latest kernel supported in 14.10?? [15:01] hello can u tell me where i can find themes for kwin on my disc?i installed kwin in xubuntu, now i want to erease default themes [15:01] bynarie: 3.16.0-25-generic [15:01] Seveas, ok.. so 3.17 is not a supported kernel correct? [15:02] bynarie: correct. [15:02] ok thank you [15:03] the latest one is actually 3.16.0-28, I hadn't upgraded in a while :) [15:03] Seveas, :D How can I get rid of this problem man? :D [15:03] oh ok [15:04] MasterPiece: if I had an idea, I'd tell you. [15:05] Seveas, May I'll be able to find the bug if you tell me where is the shortcut logs :) [15:05] hello can u tell me where i can find themes for kwin on my disc?i installed kwin in xubuntu, now i want to erease default themes [15:06] MasterPiece: I don't think there are logs for shortcut presses [15:06] Seveas, Yeah, I think so [15:07] MasterPiece: can you pastebin the output of this: gsettings list-recursively | grep org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings [15:08] Hello, every time I start my Ubuntu, I notice the error message of a program error, when I click in details the prograns are: apport-gtk-root, how to fix this? [15:08] Seveas, yes, Of Course :) [15:09] marcelino: pastebin the full error please. [15:10] apport is the application collecting the errors, likely not the application that caused it :) [15:10] Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9476861/ [15:10] hi [15:11] MasterPiece: org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings minimize ['KP_0'] [15:11] that's not ctrl+alt+0. I've never seen this ' [15:11] lol Seveas my software updater just popped up and told me about a kernel update.. haha [15:11] that's not ctrl+alt+0. I've never seen this '' thing before [15:12] Seveas, Yeah, I'm as you !! === gh0stnote is now known as gh0stn0te [15:12] MasterPiece: just for giggles, try setting it to something completely different, like shift+alt+g or something and see if the problem goes away [15:14] Seveas, ok, I think it is a good Idea to design a reset key for the shortcuts in new ubuntu version [15:15] MasterPiece: I think this woudl reset things: gsettings reset-recursovely org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings [15:16] Seveas, I set the alt-shift-g for the minimize, but now! When I press Ctrl-Alt, the windows maximizes ! hehe :D! Whats happened to me! :D [15:16] though I never tried it and it may reset more than you think [15:16] MasterPiece: call GhostBusters, seriously :) [15:17] Seveas, ha haaa :)) :D [15:18] Seveas, that reset cmd, doesn't worked to me [15:18] that's a pity. [15:18] the Ctrl-Alt Maximizes windows yet :D Where is this shitty ghost?! :D [15:18] MasterPiece: just pray it's not slimer :) [15:19] has anyone had an issue with evolution-ews connecting to their company office365? "downloading new messages for offline mode" repeats and even overlaps forever... i want my mapi back :-( [15:20] Seveas, I'm going to read more about gsettings and org.gnome.desktop.wm ;) [15:20] Does anyone know how to map my '4' key to display '$' - then when I press shift+4 it will display '4'? [15:21] Is Steam working well on Ubuntu using wine? if so why is the native steam app available if the wine one works better? [15:21] Seveas, How can I register this bug? :D [15:21] !bug [15:21] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [15:22] PCatinean, from my experience, and IMO, the steam app for native linux doesnt run very smooth [15:22] ive never tried it with wine [15:22] bynarie, that's what I've heard and noticed myself, how about performance under wine? [15:22] PCatinean, yea i dont know about wine.. what game are you trying to run?? [15:23] Dota2 would be one that works natively under linux, but it had a bad framerate, now I got a update on the nvidia drivers and seems to be running better [15:23] dfosco: why on earth would you do that to yourself? :) [15:23] but severly under performance [15:23] Maybe I should use the proprietary untested drivers of Nvidia, idk [15:23] dfosco: the first answer on https://askubuntu.com/questions/325272/permanent-xmodmap-in-ubuntu-13-04/347382 will help [15:23] Seveas, I'm a php programmer :o [15:24] dfosco: oh dear. My condoleances :) [15:24] PCatinean, i was playing an OLD game, CS 1.6 [15:24] and my box is pretty high end [15:24] bynarie, available on steam? [15:24] and getting like 30-40 fps [15:24] ah... [15:24] yea [15:25] are you using the binary nvda drivers or nouveau [15:25] I have no idea, maybe you can help out b-string since I have 0 experience with graphics card drivers in ubuntu [15:27] I'm not sertain, but I'm pretty sure the default ones in ubuntu are the opensource nouveau drivers. try with the nvidia binary drivers. [15:27] PCatinean, goto the additional drivers section [15:27] yes [15:27] and use the nvidia binary driver [15:27] hmm doubt I have that [15:27] * PCatinean checks [15:28] i think it comes with ubuntu [15:28] atleast mine did [15:28] Ah yes that's the one I'm using but I have two options [15:28] The proprietary tested and untested [15:28] And I went with the tested one [15:28] Got an update just today, seems to be running better now [15:28] it's same version number as the other though [15:28] ok well run "nvidia-settings" [15:28] tell me what you see [15:29] Application profiles [15:29] Nvidia settings Configuration [15:29] and very limited options === QueensMelons is now known as QueensRectum [15:29] uh huh.. thats the problem [15:29] the driver isnt working [15:29] Enable Tooltip display status bar slider text entries show really quit dialog and that's it [15:29] how can you tell? :O [15:29] it says it's in use and shows green... [15:29] or is it because of bumblebee? [15:29] if the driver was loaded properly you should have all kinds of options [15:30] hold on.. [15:30] Might be bumblebee here that's causing the issue [15:30] PCatinean, http://thomascomputerrepair.com/images/nvidia-settings.png [15:30] see that image ^^ [15:30] ha, got it :D [15:30] Expected something like that in the normal video card settings [15:30] not here on mine though [15:32] Seveas, I updated /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and restarted xorg but it had no effect, here is my updated file: http://pastebin.com/nqP5RypX [15:32] PCatinean, did u check that link? [15:32] PCatinean, this is bynarie.. sorry.. my BNC went down [15:33] ah ok, yeah saw the link I know that's how it's supposed to look [15:33] not sure why my options are so limited, maybe it's because of bumblebee [15:33] i have bumblebee too, but mine was all of those options === heath_ is now known as bynarie [15:34] hmmm strange [15:34] in the left column you have like 2/3 options right? [15:34] 2 [15:34] with the names i mentioned so very limited [15:35] yep... then something is definitely not configed properly [15:35] do you use the "nomodeset" boot option? === QueensRectum is now known as QueensMelons|2 [15:36] bynarie, i did not set something like that explicitly [15:36] ok then its ok [15:36] lsmod |grep 'nouv\|nvi' [15:36] hm.. i dont know what the prob is === MeltedDed is now known as MeltedLux [15:38] my running theory is that you have the wrong kernel module loaded. the command above [15:39] hola [15:41] Hello my friends [15:42] sup [15:43] 33333333333333333 [15:43] hello [15:44] How long do you use ubuntu?

[16:01] guys, I have seen some website for practicing and learning BASH. It's like some server and you're supposed to read README and use the commands so you pass the level. Do you know how do I find that kind of sites again? [16:02] is there a manual howto use gentoo/bsd ebuild on ubuntu ? or perhaps even a dpkg ? [16:03] good morning. I have a bizarre issue with VPN connections using the network manager. I clicked on a VPN connection and nothing happens, I'm expecting a dialog box to open but it does not. I have Ubuntu 14.04.

[16:24] aliensbrah, looks oke, you might need the UEFI manual [16:24] !uefi [16:24] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [16:24] Giovanny [16:24] lol why do I need that [16:25] oh you meant for alienblogger, but he left [16:26] aliensbrah, i guess that machine has not the old bios, but the newer UEFI bios inside [16:26] OerHeks, the guy who asked the question left, I'm a different alien :P [16:26] oops :-D [16:26] you aliens are look-a-like [16:29] ok. I seem to have lost my virtual consoles, so it's a bit harder to install drivers that require to not use X... The final goal is to have a bigger resolution and better handling of the graphics by my new graphics cards (Geforce gtx 750) on ubuntu 14.04 gnome flashback === jan is now known as Guest2061 [16:30] Maybe the easier question is : how do i install nvidia drivers on ubuntu 14.04 :) [16:30] moza: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [16:31] moza, you need the nvidia 334.21 driver for that 750 [16:31] can sb help me with a more general issue ? what exactly is the ramdrive for .. last time i insmoded my sata drivers onto that ? [16:32] theadmin : i already did that [16:32] hi [16:32] moza, i would use the xorg edgers ppa > https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [16:33] OerHeks : ok. I got from the NVidia website something with 340. something but can't install it because "X is running" [16:33] but, ok, i'll try the packaged method, that's probably easier. [16:33] moza: have you tried installing through the NVidia PPA? [16:33] moza: this does not require you to exit X [16:33] Oh, they have a PPA? [16:33] yes they sure do [16:34] ok, then i need to locate that :) thanks [16:34] ask... one sec [16:34] This one : http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu-x-swat [16:34] ? [16:34] moza: ask vivid in #nvidia, it's his ppa [16:34] moza: not swat [16:34] ok [16:36] is 14.10 lts? [16:36] don't use xswat, it has only the 331 driver, but see yourself .https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/ubuntu/x-updates [16:36] ablest1980 : no [16:36] ok [16:36] It's only every two years [16:37] ok [16:37] so 12.04, 14.04 etc. [16:37] EvilRoey, wrong to suggest vivid drier for utopic [16:37] Next will be 16.04 [16:37] *driver [16:37] moza: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/xorg-edgers [16:37] this ^ [16:37] So, we have x-swat, xorg-edgers and nvidia. [16:37] !LTS | ablest1980, [16:37] ablest1980,: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [16:37] I like stability (keeping LTS and so on) [16:37] aha [16:38] I see. Well Edgers gives you the beta drivers [16:38] Probably not my thing. [16:38] i got 14.04 lts [16:38] which I needed since the stable ones didn't support my then-new geforce 750 ti [16:38] ablest1980: ah [16:38] moza: aye, gotcha [16:38] What's the difference between x-swat and nvidia? Why don't you recommend swat EvilRoey ? [16:38] that I don't know [16:38] I don't know what x-swat is [16:39] though I should know it it is. [16:39] My bad. [16:39] No problem, it's just that i've seen it mentionned several times now, in several tutorials, so x-swat seemed like a reasonable option [16:39] I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 and wlan0 is no longer appearing in iwconfig or ifconfig. 'sudo lshw -c net' shows that I have both a Broadcom Network Controller and a RealTek Ethernet Controller. Anyone know how I can get wlan0 back? [16:39] but if there is an official supported nvidia ppa... [16:40] one of the small things i miss after switching from osx is the ability to command-click on the title bar of a document window and see where it is. is there anything that adds a similar feature to ubuntu? 14.04 and unity FWIW [16:41] moza: The nvidia ppa that people use typically is xorg-edgers and implement it with Mesa. [16:41] ok, i'll try the swat for now. I can always switch to xorg edgers or the nvidia one later on if i want the beta. Thanks a lot for your advice EvilRoey and OerHeks [16:41] ok Vespian, that's good to know. [16:42] aye moza, good luck!! [16:42] Hi, [16:42] hi [16:42] I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 and wlan0 is no longer appearing in iwconfig or ifconfig. 'sudo lshw -c net' shows that I have both a Broadcom Network Controller and a RealTek Ethernet Controller. Anyone know how I can get wlan0 back? [16:43] Vespian: can you get online with a cable to share a pastebin or tell us what model of broadcom? [16:43] !broadcom | Vespian [16:43] Vespian: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [16:44] daftykins: I am already online here with a wired connection. I'm on the computer with the issue(s). [16:44] daftykins: My network card is RealTek though. [16:44] so i tried to install the most recent nvidia drivers and now ubuntu won't boot, i have this old bootable CD and i wonder if i can use somehow to charge the backup xorg.conf [16:45] Vespian: "lspci | pastebinit" [16:45] Hi, is there anything out there that has taken the spot once filled by Ubuntu-Builder? [16:45] daftykins: RealTek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [16:45] daftykins: Broadcom BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [16:46] superteece, don't remember that one - it was a developer package I'm guessing [16:46] ? [16:46] It was a tool to roll your own distro from Ubuntu [16:46] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-builder [16:46] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/yKD9EExm [16:47] Vespian: yeah realtek is wired. broadcom wireless ;) follow the above guide - you probably just want to select system settings on the left, then software and sources, then go to the last tab which is additional hardware/drivers - see if it's offering you a broadcom driver [16:47] !mini | superteece [16:47] superteece: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:47] daftykins: Ah. I thought it was the other way around that RealTek was the wireless one. [16:48] Vespian: :) 802.11 is the wireless IEEE standard \o/ [16:48] daftykins: Because Network Controller refers to wired connection where as Ethernet Controller can be either wired or wireless. [16:48] daftykins: Right... durr. [16:48] ^_^ [16:49] daftykins: So which guide is it that I am to follow? Ahah (BTW: I got into this mess trying to get BlueTooth to work... trying to connect my smart watch to my laptop) [16:50] cfhowlett, ubottu I'm looking for a tool to convert my current installation with all its tweaks and installs to an img or iso to be able to redeploy with ease. [16:51] Hi. I've installed OpenJDK-7-RE, but I am unable to launch a .jar file. Running from the terminal, I get the error: Unable to access jarfile [16:51] I've marked the file as executable. [16:51] How can I get the .jar file to run? [16:51] java -something .jar [16:51] superteece, ah! right. remastersys used to be the go to tool but no more ... [16:51] Vespian: hey that wasnt part of the original story! can you pastebin a "ifconfig -a" ? [16:51] Is something the name of the jar file, EriC^^? [16:52] cfhowlett, yup [16:52] QuiQui: no it's an option i forgot, which after googling is -jar [16:52] QuiQui: so it's java -jar filename.jar [16:53] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/XDsvVz6c [16:53] daftykins:Well, half the issue is getting wlan0 back. Ahah [16:53] Vespian: yeah, wasn't sure if you meant you didn't have the interface or didn't see anything in NM... anyway the guide is pretty specific when you look for your model :) [16:53] Vespian: but look in the additional hardware/drivers place i mentioned [16:54] daftykins: Yeah I did that already and it only has one driver listed which is a proprietary driver. [16:54] daftykins: I'm going through the guide right now. [16:54] and is it the broadcom one? [16:54] Vespian: maybe it's best you share what you did with bluetooth 0o [16:54] daftykins: Yeah. [16:55] daftykins: Well I installed BlueWho and Blues [16:56] daftykins: And when I did a makefile and make on backports-3.18-rc1-1 is when I found my wlan0 gone. [16:56] Vespian: alright, problem #1 that's an unsupported kernel [16:56] so that's gonna be outside of the sphere of influence here [16:57] try booting a supported 3.16 and see if it comes back [16:57] daftykins: Unsupported? It came right from linux-foundation. [16:57] lol [16:57] i'm afraid that makes it even less of an ubuntu problem [16:58] daftykins: So I should get backports-3.16? [16:58] why are you saying backports at all? [16:58] Because it is a file that a guide suggested to get and install to get Bluetooth to work. [16:59] "ls /l /boot" and "uname -r" please? [16:59] oops [16:59] "ls -l /boot" [16:59] !cloning | superteece, never done it myself but I do believe you are talking about "cloning" [16:59] superteece, never done it myself but I do believe you are talking about "cloning": To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [16:59] that's what daftykins gets for typing with a croissant in one hand [17:00] daftykins, better a croissant ... [17:00] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/keqGBeMz [17:00] EriC^^, I now get the following error: "the tools property directory is not set, please make sure you are executing android" [17:00] android appears to be a source file of some kind located one level up, in the tools directory. How do I run this? [17:01] Vespian: hrmm well whichever other kernel you put on, you're not booted into it [17:01] cfhowlett, thanks, I'll check it out [17:01] daftykins: I didn't put on another kernel. :S [17:02] oh so just this backports driver package 0o [17:02] hi [17:02] Vespian: probably best to undo the earlier steps and see if it comes back first [17:02] daftykins: http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ [17:02] daftykins: Okay... how do I undo this backport? [17:03] Vespian: oh nasty you installed that :/ yeah no idea [17:04] ciao [17:06] hi, I was trying to free up diskspace and now my system only boots to the root prompt, at least I think that's what its called. [17:06] Parad0xxR: to grub> ? [17:06] daftykins: But oddly enough, when I do 'dpkg --list > DPKG-Output' I see the following in it: http://pastebin.com/XCY7GCMv [17:06] Parad0xxR, how exactly did you "free" it [17:06] daftykins: I don't see anything else as far as linux-* goes. [17:06] I ran ubuntu tweak [17:07] then rebooted [17:07] now I get the command line upon reboot [17:07] sounds like a successful tweak! [17:07] ;) [17:07] not a good one tho [17:07] daftykins: Actually, that's a lie... there's also a linux-sound-base but that's irrelevant to this.

[17:08] Parad0xxR: boot that and come back here [17:08] Vespian: try "dpkg -l | grep bcwm" [17:08] ok [17:09] cfhowlett: we probably got the name wrong [17:09] !find tweak [17:09] Found: mousetweaks, freqtweak, gnome-tweak-tool, tweak, unity-tweak-tool [17:09] Hello - my screen display is stretched (such that circular shapes would appear to be oval). Is this just a resolution issue - or might drivers be missing ? xrandr gives http://pastebin.com/zKtEMArX. Thanks! [17:09] do I need to select anything when it boots? I forget what its gonna do [17:09] cfhowlett: i think it might have a free space option that deleted his kernel or something [17:09] daftykins: No output. [17:09] hey, is it alright to ask questions about ubuntu with the new 3.18 kernel? i ask because it introduced driver support for my laptop's trackpad, which was previously just treated as a generic mouse [17:09] Parad0xxR: try ubuntu [17:09] eric___, it's still PPA ... has been for years [17:09] (it still is, even though the driver support is there, which was going to be my question, i.e. how to change it from mouse emulation mode to proper trackpad mode) [17:10] cfhowlett: no it's not, isn't it unity-tweak-tool ? === tcpman is now known as Guest72564 [17:10] Vespian: ok i'm really out of ideas on how to proceed. you could try reinstalling the broadcom item from the additional-drivers/hardware prog, which i would've expected to be bcmwl-kernel-source [17:10] cfhowlett: other eric? [17:10] eric___, ?? don't know if that's equivalent to ubuntu-tweak ... I don't do unity [17:10] !info unity-tweak-tool [17:10] unity-tweak-tool (source: unity-tweak-tool): configuration tool for the Unity desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.6ubuntu2 (utopic), package size 325 kB, installed size 2550 kB [17:10] eric___, right. sorry [17:10] cfhowlett: oh ok, i see what you mean [17:10] :) [17:11] cfhowlett: yeah could be a ppa [17:11] I'm using a Lenovo ideacentre with windows 8.1. I tried every distro out there from LinuxMint, Zorin, Suse, Fedora all of them cannot identified that I have windows 8 install in the computer. Only Ubuntu identified windows 8 and asked to install side by side with it. [17:11] EriC^^, rigth... not the same as ubuntu tweak. probably should clarify what he "fixed" his system with. [17:11] daftykins: "modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument" when I do 'sudo modprobe wl' [17:12] etzerd, great isn't it? [17:12] Vespian: keep reading is all i can say! [17:12] can someone remote my laptop and upgrade gnome 3 please [17:12] k, found my cd [17:12] etzerd: are you sure you've been booting the Linux distros as EFI and not legacy? [17:12] rebooting [17:12] OerHeks: yes, this is great. [17:13] valium, why can't you do that yourself? [17:13] i don't know man [17:13] that's why i need someone pro to do it [17:13] k, on my laptop while the cd boots [17:14] valium, you don't know why you can't? this fails the smell test. [17:14] EFI and legacy. I try both of them none of those distros were able to identifie windows 8 on the computer. only Ubuntu. [17:14] PaRaD0xR2: k [17:14] daftykins: Additional Drivers has the following selected "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)". [17:14] i can't even log as su [17:14] etzerd: so umm, what's the problem? :P [17:14] im fcked [17:14] etzerd: this is ubuntu support and ubuntu worked? :D [17:15] please someone [17:15] valium, if you can't use sudo then you also can't authorize remote access [17:15] and guess what? After I install ubuntu side by side with windows 8 then every other distros now identifie windows 8 and ubuntu after I install ubuntu. [17:15] Vespian: aaah i typo'd, so "bcmwl" - "dpkg -l | grep -i bcm" ? [17:15] k, booted up EriC^^ [17:15] etzerd: so, still waiting for a support question... === crazybotsmoker is now known as bestzdneirf [17:15] ok, here's an easier question: my fiance's new laptop has a pretty insane screen resolution, something like 3000x2000 [17:15] try/install [17:15] PaRaD0xR2: ok [17:16] diphtherial: that was more of a statement [17:16] as a result, everything is tiny. i bumped up the scaling factor in the settings, which mostly helped, but there are still some UI elements that remain tiny [17:16] this is 12.04 LTS btw [17:16] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/3dCG5cUm [17:16] daftykins: i'm getting there [17:16] type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:16] PaRaD0xR2: ^^ and paste here [17:16] I have a repo set up. is there a way to cause machines to automatically _install_ (as opposed to upgrade) any packages found in that repo? === google-hacker is now known as bynarie [17:16] my question is why those distros weren't able to identify the os when all of them base on ubuntu? [17:16] so, scrollbars are still miniscule; how can i fix that across the board? or should i just switch to a lower resolution and tell her to cope with the fuzziness? [17:16] wait, only thing I can do now is try or install? [17:16] etzerd: what do you mean by identify? in parted ? or you mean when you boot? [17:17] PaRaD0xR2: yeah, press try [17:17] Vespian: purge reinstall it, might help [17:17] k [17:17] when I boot from the DVD [17:17] etzerd: sorry we only support ubuntu here so no idea. find the channels for those distros and ask them [17:18] http://termbin.com/h2qk [17:19] etzerd: besides which this channel also has it's share of "the installer can't find my windows" issue too. it's not only other distro's. :P [17:19] daftykins: I did 'sudo apt-get purge --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source' [17:19] Vespian: sounds good to me, full reboot after of course [17:19] hi [17:19] daftykins: I agree with you because since ubuntu is the only distro that were able to install side by side with windows and that's what I used. I was wonder the reason why the other distros weren't able to install side by side as ubuntu does. [17:19] I have 2 physical drives in the box [17:20] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt [17:20] daftykins: Alright. I'll BRB. I'll unplug wired connection before restarting to ensure that there's no potential glitch of wireless enablind. [17:20] enabling* [17:20] PaRaD0xR2: then type sudo chroot /mnt [17:20] PaRaD0xR2: then type uname -a , then type dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:20] etzerd: yeah, the problem is *they* do things differently so we can't know [17:21] chroot: failed to run command /bin/bash no such file or directory [17:21] PaRaD0xR2: did you type sudo mount .... ? [17:21] yup [17:21] Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting a crash dump out of apport without building a package? We've a local internal app that needs to be debugged and I'd rather not just go remove apport from the system...but FWICT thats the only option (packaging it at this point is NOT an option) [17:21] that returned nothing, just a new prompt [17:22] but the chroot errored [17:22] PaRaD0xR2: type find /mnt -maxdepth 2 | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:23] sudo find ... [17:23] or cat /proc/mounts [17:23] also, I remember I used to install ubuntu through windows and were able to uninstall from windows as well. but since windows 8 this option is no longer work. that was the best option ever because ubuntu was install into windows just like any other application. why they remove such a great option? [17:23] http://termbin.com/lnvh [17:23] etzerd: that was the worse option ever [17:23] etzerd: WUBI is the devil and should never be considered. [17:23] find: '..." no such file or directory [17:23] PaRaD0xR2: that looks like your home dir [17:24] why? [17:24] PaRaD0xR2: i meant add sudo to the command, sudo find /mnt ........ [17:24] Lol [17:24] o, find /mnt/lost+found permission denied also [17:24] PaRaD0xR2: anyways, it looks like that's not your installation, just /home [17:24] o [17:24] etzerd: because anyone coming in to have it fixed, has no chance of being guided through 1)booting liveCD 2) mounting their NTFS disk 3) mounting their disk image - all prior to even finding out what went wrong. [17:24] etzerd: lol fighting a losing battle here... might want to try starting a similar converstation in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [17:25] http://termbin.com/7lc6 [17:25] that? [17:25] PaRaD0xR2: ok [17:25] ok guys, thanks to all of you for answering my questions. ubuntu for life. [17:25] dirtykins: No dice. [17:25] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo umount /mnt [17:25] k, done [17:25] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [17:25] dirtykins: There is no wlan0 showing in iwconfig or ifconfig. [17:25] another question. [17:26] Vespian: i'll have you know i'm clean :( [17:26] done [17:26] daftykins: My bad. [17:26] is ubuntu will ever change the Unity desktop? [17:26] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo /dev/sda6 /mnt/home [17:26] daftykins: Sorry about that. Ahah [17:26] PaRaD0xR2: then type sudo chroot /mnt [17:26] wait [17:26] daftykins: But any idea on how to get wlan0 to come back? :S [17:27] sudo: /dev/sda6: command not found [17:27] Vespian: given the stuff you ran... nope [17:27] o, sudo mount ... [17:27] ? [17:27] I don't know, for some reason I don't like it. I end up using KDE because the Unity is not [17:27] sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/home [17:27] ? [17:27] PaRaD0xR2: crap sorry [17:28] PaRaD0xR2: yeah [17:28] :) [17:28] :) [17:28] k [17:28] done [17:28] etzerd: kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu and other spins with e.g. MATE desktop exist, so there's no point discussing what's default. there are options. [17:28] now I have a # prompt [17:28] daftykins: I even tried pressing the hardware enabling of wi-fi and it won't enable. [17:28] and not the ~$ like before [17:28] PaRaD0xR2: ok, type uname -a [17:28] So you're root [17:28] daftykins: It's showing orange, it should be showing blue. [17:29] root@ubuntu:/# [17:29] daftykins: Does this give you any ideas? [17:29] PaRaD0xR2: type ls -l /boot | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:29] Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-29-generic blah blah [17:29] Rhythmbox recognises most of my songs but is missing a few [17:29] Vespian: have you tried booting from a previous kernel via the grub boot menu? [17:30] I already tried quitting and restarting [17:30] hi, is this Islamic State channel? [17:30] Vespian: no driver present, that's all. [17:30] http://termbin.com/0wnl [17:30] ? [17:30] daftykins: But there is... how can that be? [17:30] squinty: Vespian i kinda hinted at that earlier but didn't persist, worth a go. [17:30] Vespian: it's installed, doesn't mean it's loaded. [17:30] daftykins: Okay, how do I check if it's loaded? [17:31] sorry I'm ignored maybe cuz I didn't say [17:31] daftykins: if I understand you very well, you mean after install ubuntu I should be able to install all these distros you just said by going to the terminal and use the command "sudo apt-get install ...."? [17:31] Salam Alaikum [17:31] AbuQatada: Ubuntu means human kindness and it's also the name of a free computer operating system, so no [17:31] Vespian: just try the other kernel first, i don't have the patience for that :P [17:31] etzerd: you can both download ISOs of each one, as well as change desktop after installing ubuntu. [17:31] daftykins: Okay, how do I load an older kernel? [17:31] one of my brothers told me there's channel on irc if I want to learn some things about...... [17:31] anyone know the right channel for maas and juju/openstack discussions? [17:32] EriC^^: thanks for your help, hopefully we can get this fixed ;) [17:32] now what?

It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [17:38] daftykins: Okay. I fellback to previous kernel and wi-fi is working but my UI (Cinnamon) won't load because it's an older kernel. [17:38] does it have anything to do with Islam? [17:38] grub-pc is already the newest version [17:38] AbuQatada, no [17:38] daftykins: So we know it isn't driver issues. [17:38] PaRaD0xR2: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc [17:38] LXLE is the worst thing i ever installed on my laptop [17:38] so why do people bother [17:38] jhutchins: you mean I can do one install with multiple DEs? or one install and install the other DEs thereafter? [17:39] yea valium i dont like lxle either.. or lxde [17:39] k, think its working [17:39] Vespian: no that doesn't prove that at all [17:39] funny thing is,after installing lxle , i cannot boot my usb stick with ubuntu inside [17:39] stuff scrolling by [17:39] k, all done [17:39] PaRaD0xR2: ok, you wanna clean up boot? [17:40] */boot [17:40] umm, what do you mean? [17:40] PaRaD0xR2: remove old kernels that take space [17:40] sure [17:40] Anybody know how to get rhythmbox to recognise my music? [17:40] ok [17:40] It has most of it it's just missing a few songs [17:40] I need to my desktop back is the main thing, but if I can free up some space, all the better [17:41] daftykins: Okay, then why would it work in a previous kernel but not the current kernel? [17:41] Vespian: oh my bad, i misread [17:41] Rocketeer: you mean it doesn't crash every other song? :P [17:41] The songs it's missing will play in videos won't show up in rythmbox [17:41] And no it doesn't usually crash [17:41] now what? [17:41] I've tried banshee but never really liked it [17:41] daftykins: Any ideas as to how to get it to work in the current kernel? [17:41] I use Rhythmbox [17:41] Vespian: 1) your modifications broke the current kernel 2) the old kernel works 3) i don't know what to do about the newer one, maybe purge reinstall the newer kernel. [17:42] AbuQatada, please ask your ubuntu support questions. otherwise find a channel more suited to your interests. [17:42] daftykins: Alright. [17:42] PaRaD0xR2: ok, 1 sec [17:42] k [17:43] Vespian: you don't need to lead me from one question to another :P i don't throw something out there immediately because i'm thinking. [17:43] * squinty tried thinking once and nearly died from the effort :P [17:43] etzerd: The answer is YES, One may install any 'buntu and on may install also any other DE desired ( and choose at the login screen which session to run) OR dsk space permitting install the complete distribution as stand alone. [17:43] daftykins: So 'sudo apt-get purge --reinstall linux-*-3.16.0-24' should do it? [17:44] no need for wildcards [17:44] PaRaD0xR2: type dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:44] daftykins: I'm currently in 3.16.0-23 [17:44] daftykins: But there's 4 different packages for it... [17:44] http://termbin.com/xgx6 [17:45] daftykins: headers, headers generic, image, and image-extra [17:45] Vespian: hah. you've not used ubuntu much have you? "linux-image-3.16.0-23-generic" should do [17:45] or whatever the latest number was [17:45] Rocketeer: PaRaD0xR2 i used/love rhythmbox but it crashes very often, i switched to gmusicbrowser [17:45] daftykins: For about a week. I'd say I'm catching on quite quickly. Ahah Prior to this I just had amateur fiddling experience in Slackware several years ago. [17:45] Bashing-om, can you please tell me how? because when I install from the DVD I didn't see any option to install all of the DEs [17:46] etzerd, sudo apt-get install kde-plasma xfce4 lxde gnome-desktop [17:46] hmm, if I get my system back up, I'll check it out ;) [17:46] --> EriC^^ [17:47] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.* [17:47] uh, so why does my mac address change on each reboot? .. so many annoying changes all the time ...year after year x) [17:47] lnostdal: VM? [17:47] Sorry lost internet if anybody had a solution [17:47] daftykins, nope [17:47] ok thanks cfhowlett. but should I install one distro before I can used "sudo apt-get"? [17:47] because you set it to randomize the MAC? [17:47] this is a fresh install of ubuntu server [17:48] lnostdal: maybe your hardware has somehow messed up and so the kernel choose one every run. force specify one via /etc/network/interfaces [17:48] daftykins: cfhowlett can you take a look at http://termbin.com/xgx6 ? is it safe to remove the pae kernels? [17:48] EriC^^: did I lose anything in all of this? [17:48] daftykins: Okay... Ctrl + Alt + T won't open Terminal, /bin/bash won't open, and Super isn't opening any kind of menu. [17:48] etzerd: That is true. Install the distribution you desire, and once installed then "apt-get install XXXX-desktop " ( where XXXX is the version ) of alternate Desktop Environments. [17:48] not sure what I did [17:48] EriC^^: yep looks like the trusty HWE is on so they're all PAE these days, :) [17:48] PaRaD0xR2: no just removing old kernels, you can reinstall the kernel if it's required [17:48] daftykins, ok, can try that [17:48] I meant, from what I did before [17:49] EriC^^, I wouldn't. [17:49] k, it's all done [17:49] EriC^^, I believe that's the one that will boot when all else fails [17:49] Vespian: test a guest session [17:49] ok [17:49] thank you all for your advice. I will be back later [17:49] PaRaD0xR2: try sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga [17:50] daftykins: I disabled guest and remote logins. I just got an idea though... I'll alt+F1 and login with root and execute it. [17:50] k, that's running [17:50] Vespian: if you have a password for root, you're doing ubuntu very *very* wrong :) [17:51] Vespian: also for the love of Tux don't even think about using startx [17:51] daftykins: root is su. [17:51] Vespian: if you're using "sudo su" that is also wrong [17:51] *grrr* .. so much time wasted on this .. this feels like 1998 and debian sound problems [17:51] k, done [17:51] daftykins: Ahah I did that once already. I ended up having to do 'sudo apt-get purge --reinstall xorg' [17:51] it gives me such motivation to help others when they type 'grr' [17:51] (not) [17:51] daftykins: Won't learn if I don't experience it first hand. Ahah [17:52] PaRaD0xR2: ok, type sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.8.* [17:52] you did what O_O [17:52] Vespian: i don't even use desktop so i'm going to have to be hands off now. [17:52] Question: my cube animation is like a piece of paper; two sided. I have 4 desktop spaces. How do I make cube, a cube? [17:52] it said warning, removing running kernel image! [17:53] daftykins: Never heard of anyone ever doing sudo su.... that sounds VERY redundant and wrong. Ahah [17:53] hope that was right [17:53] done [17:53] PaRaD0xR2: it's ok, i guess that's the live cd's kernel [17:53] ahh [17:53] k, next? [17:53] Vespian: It's a common administrative tool when certain users have access to root but do not have the root password.

[17:57] I want to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and mouse for my desktop [17:58] Vespian: err, i thought you'd done that already hence all the desktop quirks [17:58] is it possible? [17:58] PaRaD0xR2: ok, type sudo reboot [17:58] wait, take out the cd? [17:58] PaRaD0xR2: reboot then take it out [17:58] I want to be able to use my laptop's keyboard and mouse for my desktop. Is it possible? [17:58] daftykins: No. The desktop quirks are because Cinnamon isn't functioning on the old kernel. === Fuchs is now known as foxyfox [17:58] eh? === foxyfox is now known as Fuchs [17:59] tinyproxy didnt seem to be working for me on ubuntu 14.04 [17:59] Vespian: ok, not much point hassling me with issues partway through a process [17:59] daftykins: Going to restart. [17:59] let the cd fully boot up? [17:59] before removing? [17:59] this was on an amazon cloud server [17:59] PaRaD0xR2: type sudo reboot, and boot into your installation as usual [17:59] itnyproxy just keep spawning mor end more processes [17:59] anyone use tinyproxy ??? [17:59] bubbasaures: my cube is only picking up 2 desktops [17:59] rebooting, cd still in [18:00] bios...blah.. [18:00] PaRaD0xR2: remove the cd [18:00] heh [18:00] it closd the drive [18:00] before I could take it out [18:00] keeps closing it [18:01] can't take it out fast enough ;) [18:01] I suppose let it finish, then remove and reboot again? [18:03] PaRaD0xR2: yeah or sudo poweroff [18:03] and remove it when the pc starts [18:03] k, rebooting [18:03] yay [18:04] k, booting.. [18:04] crossing fingers [18:04] pjjsdhfdk [18:04] crap [18:04] did you cramp them? [18:04] :P [18:04] parad0x-Optiplex-745 login: [18:04] you get a tty? [18:04] yup [18:05] well i can tell you one thing [18:05] you didn't have grub installed [18:05] so it's booting the kernel now [18:05] grub booted [18:05] I selected Linux blah blah blah [18:05] whatever else you "cleaned" yesterday, well you still have to fix [18:05] daftykins: Okay. The newest kernel uninstalled, but for some odd reason it says that package doesn't exist for install. I did a sudo apt-get update to ensure and still no dice. [18:05] PaRaD0xR2: start with sudo apt-get install lightdm [18:06] wait, boot up the cd again?

Ahah [18:11] ok [18:11] that was the first option on grub [18:11] PaRaD0xR2: you have a custom kernel? [18:11] nope [18:11] you're on 14.04lts?

[18:17] PaRaD0xR2: ok, can you explain further what you removed yesterday? [18:17] sorry pls help me [18:17] well, it was this morning [18:17] Mikiuiui: no, this is an #ubuntu support channel - either boot an ubuntu live session or go ask in a fedora channel. [18:17] Mikiuiui, not an iubuntu issue. ask #fedora. not supported here. [18:17] I manually deleted some files, which I thought were old kernel files [18:18] mmm [18:18] then I ran Ubuntu Tweak [18:18] wait i start ubuntu [18:18] live [18:18] PaRaD0xR2: which files?

[18:19] EriC^^: is it worth pastebin'ing a xorg log? [18:19] as shown here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaMultiMonitors#Setup [18:19] daftykins: sure [18:20] PaRaD0xR2: One will get the TTY IF GUI is not loadable, might see what is -> sudo lshw -C display <- . Just as a quick check . [18:20] mind you someone on 12.04 the other day said there was no pastebinit package 0o [18:20] warning you should run as super user [18:20] daftykins: odd [18:20] PaRaD0xR2: that's ok [18:20] driver=radeon === kpease is now known as kpease_ [18:21] latency=0 [18:21] anyone use tinyproxy /?

[18:26] you are trying to send an empty document, exiting [18:26] i run the disk test and it appeared test failed! [18:27] Mikuiuiui: you already told us you were running fedora :P [18:27] Mikuiuiui, smartctl -a /dev/sda, or whatever [18:27] I made a bash-script with one line "cat filefoo >> filebar && rm filefoo", then i did chmod 777 scriptfoo.sh [18:27] but i can't run it [18:27] Hello. I'm currently runnning Ubuntu with some free space on my drive that I'm considering a Windows install on. I'm wondering, though, if there are any special considerations for doing this because my system is LUKS with LVM. [18:27] i get the message "bash: scriptfoo.sh: command not found [18:27] Is it still as simple as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ? I don't want to screw up my volume header or LVM partition table [18:27] how can I remove apport from my ubuntu server? it's gobbeling up crash reports and might even cause freezes for all I know [18:28] Mikiuiui: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" [18:28] smartcl command not found [18:28] someone, please? [18:28] MyGentooIsBroken: type chmod +x script.sh [18:28] MyGentooIsBroken: ./script.sh [18:28] PaRaD0xR2: Check your syntax/spelling, that file should exist -> ls -al /var/log/Xorg.0.log >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 53534 Dec 11 09:04 /var/log/Xorg.0.log . [18:28] Mikuiuiui: you typo'd [18:29] What [18:29] . [18:29] The. [18:29] Hell. [18:29] EriC^^, i already did chmod 777 script.sh (that includes +x) [18:29] dalekusa: either ask a question of ubuntu support or leave, please. [18:29] I updated my NVidia graphics drivers [18:29] dalekusa: on ONE line [18:29] MyGentooIsBroken: ah sorry [18:29] MyGentooIsBroken: how are you running the script? [18:29] Essentially, I updated my NVidia drivers, and now my computer is all but unusable [18:30] dalekusa: sounds like you used a manual website driver download \o/ [18:30] EriC^^, well i just type the name in bash === pumba is now known as pumbaway [18:30] No, this was through the automatic Ubuntu updater [18:30] EriC^^, scriptfoo.sh [18:30] dalekusa: alright so what've you got? TTYs work? [18:31] MyGentooIsBroken: you have to use ./ so it searches the current directory [18:31] http://pastebin.com/9X8wAweq [18:31] MyGentooIsBroken: ./script.sh [18:31] hrm [18:31] TTY? [18:31] checking, looks right to me [18:31] don't install the pasteinit [18:31] EriC^^, ahhh i get it. ofc i dont have an alias for the script [18:32] Mikuiuiui: alright, "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" then pastebin it manually. [18:32] I can unlock my keychain, but then it yields to a black screen with just my pointer [18:32] I cd /var [18:32] cd /log [18:32] Mikuiuiui: you only have one hard disk, yes? [18:32] no such file or directory [18:32] yes [18:32] but many partition [18:32] MyGentooIsBroken: it's not a matter of alias, it's cause it only searches your $PATH [18:32] Mikuiuiui: that's fine [18:33] cfhowlett: But when i download using wget it saves it as something like index.html?product=firefox-34.0.5-SSL instead of the proper filename [18:33] i'minstalling smartmontools === kpease_ is now known as kpease [18:33] getting worried i'm screwed [18:33] Is there something that will get the right filename? -O expects you to provide said filename, which means you know it [18:33] Hey guys. I upgraded ubuntu (included some new kernel) and my system broken. Wouldn't boot. I think somethign may have gone wrong with the install. Anyway, I need to remove the most recent kernel and upgrade again from there. Should I manually remove it, or will sudo apt-get upgrade suffice? [18:33] am I? :) [18:33] PaRaD0xR2: Blows me away, what could have happened to the Xorg file ...Maybe reboot and see if that files now gets created ?? [18:33] what to check next? [18:33] PaRaD0xR2: try dpkg -l | grep xorg-server | pastebinit [18:33] ok [18:34] PaRaD0xR2: also type cat /var/log/syslog | pastebinit [18:35] EriC^^, thanks it worked! Yeah what i meant is, can't i make the script accessible from anywhere. As in i only type "script.sh" from any directory and it will execute? like it does with every program? [18:35] PaRaD0xR2: wait [18:35] PaRaD0xR2: type dmesg | pastebinit [18:35] raub, of course. that's the WINDOWS version, not the linux version. [18:35] instead of /var/log/syslog [18:35] MyGentooIsBroken: yes, you can add it to your $PATH [18:35] MyGentooIsBroken, where is the location of your script???? [18:35] daftykins: What is a TTY? [18:36] MyGentooIsBroken: if you have a ~/bin and have it there, ubuntu will load it into your $PATH when you login [18:36] dalekusa: ah there you are. ctrl+alt+F1 for a command line login. [18:36] hey guys look this http://pastebin.com/NedRL9da [18:36] hold while starting up? [18:36] MyGentooIsBroken: if you want to put it somewhere else you have to add it to ~/.profile [18:36] broken? [18:36] EriC^^, nice i kind of get it. thanks for enlighting me. [18:37] MyGentooIsBroken, make a /bin folder in your home directory, move your script there, then edit .bashrc and add PATH=$PATH:~/bin enter export PATH [18:37] anyone here familiar with freerdp [18:37] Mikuiuiui: looking now [18:37] is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/9479015 [18:37] ? [18:37] took laptop downstairs [18:37] Hey guys. I upgraded ubuntu (included some new kernel) and my system broken. Wouldn't boot. I think somethign may have gone wrong with the install. Anyway, I need to remove the most recent kernel and upgrade again from there. Should I manually remove it, or will sudo apt-get upgrade suffice? [18:37] ok [18:37] daftykins: I can't do it by holding those keys during startup [18:37] EvilRoey and OerHeks : I finally found how to install the driver downloaded from nvidia : the recovery mode gives an option to start from consoleand then be able to kill X from there. I needed to kill the gdm service (because i'm using gnome-flashback) and then i installed it, with the 32-bit compatibility, and now i can play portal on steam. (my initial goal). Thank you a lot :D [18:37] PaRaD0xR2: Look'n at http://paste.ubuntu.com/9479015 . [18:37] oh [18:37] there we go [18:38] dalekusa: no you press them after boot, it's not a startup sequence [18:38] Mikuiuiui: there is one bad sector, you need to backup your data then ideally wipe the drive totally to check if it won't get worse [18:38] yeah, just realised that before you mentioned that [18:38] no [18:38] * dalekusa logged it [18:38] i don't want to backp [18:38] in [18:38] that was after a reboot btw [18:39] what can i do'? [18:39] Mikuiuiui: lol, you can't just say 'no' to my comment. you have to, because something is going bad. you have no choice. [18:39] moza: ah wonderful [18:39] moza: portal is native on linux now? [18:39] what's a cheap bluetooth dongle? [18:40] Steam is native on linux, and portal within steam :) So yeah! [18:40] I did install a few bits of Python packages to help install a bitcoin client === kpease is now known as kpease_ [18:40] moza: ah, yes I know that Steam is, but Portal is out and buyable for linux? [18:40] Even portal 2 i think, but i will first just enjoy the first one [18:40] EriC^^: ? [18:40] dfdf, bluetooth dongle is a usb device that will add bluetooth to your computer if its not built in [18:40] bynarie, it does not work, do i need to enter the shell again or something to refresh the settings? [18:40] and I remember that when I tried to install Wine, that it said that I had to uninstall the NVidia drivers [18:40] format all [18:40] xD [18:40] MyGentooIsBroken, yes close bash and re-open [18:40] dalekusa: i'm not interested in what you ate for breakfast last Tuesday, we're talking about an nvidia driver quirk you said :P [18:41] moza: wow, enat!! [18:41] that is it [18:41] EvilRoey : yes, i bought it a while ago and only was missing the graphics card. So definitely yes [18:41] dalekusa: alright so you're logged into a TTY yes? [18:41] ok great :) [18:41] yes [18:41] bynarie, now it works. will this break something? or effect other programs? [18:41] ho to do? [18:41] bynarie: ubuntu cannot find what is in my laptop. i dont know how to proceed. i need bluetooth to develop my hobby project (micropython RC/bluetooth car) [18:41] affect* [18:41] how* [18:41] MyGentooIsBroken, no your good [18:41] dalekusa: what's your card? ("lspci") [18:42] check out your ~/.profile , see if it has a statement checking for a /bin directory in your home directory.. if so you can remove the path statement i gave you in the .bashrc file [18:42] GeForce 6150SE [18:42] MyGentooIsBroken, [18:42] ^^^ [18:42] bynarie, alright. but i guess i don't quite understand it then. why does it only affect this one program? [18:42] Why does Richard Stallman and every Linux guru, speaks of Ubuntu with hatred? [18:43] dalekusa: does that system connect wirelessly or wired? === user is now known as delt_ === jan is now known as Guest73722 [18:43] connect to the internet? [18:43] Karizo: you're welcome to ask about that in #ubuntu-offtopic but THIS is *NOT* the place. [18:43] Wired [18:43] bynarie, i don't have a ~/.profile [18:43] If Ubuntu always (with every installation I have ever done) eventually complains about not enough space in /boot with the default configuration, why doesn't it do anything on its own to clean that up so the user doesn't have to deal with it? [18:43] dalekusa: good stuff "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [18:43] I can't imagine general users would know what to do, or would understand why they are being made to do it instead of the OS taking care of it. [18:44] MyGentooIsBroken, look at your path variable... it includes folders like /bin /sbin /usr/bin etc... when you install programs they go into that folder [18:44] Cleaning up old images and things [18:44] Scrivener: because clean installs don't make a separate /boot and haven't done for years. if you have one it's part of your own legacy install. also, sudo apt-get autoremove *DOES* now remove older kernels. [18:44] EriC^^: you still there? [18:44] MyGentooIsBroken, if you download a script, its probably in the Downloads folder, so when you run bash, it doesnt know to look in Downloads for exec files [18:44] daftykins, does the GUI software updater do this? I thought we didn't want to require users to touch the command line. [18:44] Scrivener: try it out, a completely clean install to a blank disk will not create a /boot [18:45] Scrivener: well you skipped over my answer at the start there, so you need to read that first :) [18:45] daftykins, is 14.04 considered legacy? [18:45] Scrivener: i've done plenty of 14.04 installs where there's no separate /boot - i'm afraid you've got it wrong [18:45] daftykins, I'm totally cool myself with taking care of the issue. I run Arch, I'm used to all kinds of things. [18:45] 14.04 is an LTS release [18:45] bynarie, my "$PATH" outputs: "bash: /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin: No such file or directory" [18:46] daftykins, but all of my 14.04 installations do it, on every machine. This one on which I just got the message was a completely blank disk that never had anything else installed on it. [18:46] Scrivener: when i say legacy, i mean you might've upgraded through a bunch of installs which can't repartition [18:46] Every installation I've done has had this happen at some point [18:46] Scrivener: i'm highly dubious of this claim. [18:46] daftykins, say what? [18:46] bynarie, i get that. will it look from left to right? [18:46] it looks in all of them [18:46] http://www.pasteall.org/pic/81115 sda2 is damaged? [18:46] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9479136 [18:46] bynarie, like what happens if there is more than one with the same name? [18:46] daftykins, I always install fresh, from the 64-bit image provided by Canonical, installed from a USB drive [18:47] MyGentooIsBroken, actually i have no idea... thats a good question [18:47] Scrivener: that's nice, but i do too and i have a system right here with no /boot - so i can't explain yours having a different result. [18:47] but i would assume left to right [18:47] bynarie, so first hit will be executed [18:47] Mikuiuiui: check it from Windows. [18:47] daftykins, that's very strange. I do not touch the default partitioning or anything during setup. I take all defaults except including encryption. [18:47] don't start [18:47] MyGentooIsBroken, i would ASSUME, but dont know how it works for sure [18:48] Scrivener: oh you encrypt? heh that's where it is then. [18:48] daftykins, wait, that's probably it [18:48] blue screen of death xD [18:48] /boot can't be encrypted [18:48] Mikuiuiui: ##windows for you [18:48] bynarie, alright. thanks for the talk [18:48] But that being so, why doesn't the software updater clean up old images? :-/ Still rather sad. [18:48] Not a problem for me. [18:48] I just was wondering. [18:48] MyGentooIsBroken, welcome! [18:48] I use apt-get anyway [18:48] dalekusa: oh deary me. you have nomodeset in your kernel boot parameters. [18:49] Scrivener, i use ubuntu-tweak to cleanup junk files [18:49] As Doc McStuffins might say, we have a diagnosis! [18:49] can i format all? [18:49] bynarie, but the software updater should take care of this by default. A user shouldn't have to seek their own solution to deal with old images. [18:49] A non-power-user that is [18:49] One that doesn't want to touch the terminal [18:49] dalekusa: also it's using the VESA driver as there's no nvidia one present, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-304" then reboot [18:50] Mikuiuiui: after you backup. [18:50] EriC^^: Bashing-om? [18:50] not upgraded [18:50] i don't want to backup [18:50] all are the latest files [18:50] Scrivener, are you talking about kernels? [18:50] i don't have important files [18:50] i can delete all [18:50] bynarie, yeah [18:51] Mikuiuiui: ok i'd advise you first thoroughly erase that disk to make sure it's still safe to use. this will take hours though, are you ready? [18:51] Scrivener, most people might not want to get rid of an old kernel... its usually recommended to keep a couple for backup.. i know i do [18:51] Scrivener: yeah i think i read something about encrypted setups creating a really tiny /boot by default - there was some bug report. i have to laugh at encryption though because there are too many that come in here having broken it :D [18:51] i'm ready to gooo [18:51] bynarie, but it gets full after a few kernel upgrades, as it happens :P [18:51] daftykins, broken their encryption? O.o [18:52] from gpart [18:52] ? [18:52] Scrivener: their installs. [18:52] Oh. [18:52] well not sure then... there should be a setting for how many you want to keep.. thatd be nice [18:52] How... how do you break an ubuntu install? x] [18:52] from gparted i delete all the partition [18:52] It's probably the easiest one. [18:52] ok? [18:52] Mikuiuiui: ok can you run in a terminal "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M" (this will erase _everything_ on that disk! [18:52] Check the box, run along [18:52] Mikuiuiui: err actually wait [18:52] ok [18:53] Mikuiuiui: if you want to fix Windows you'll need a disc to reinstall it from [18:53] i've [18:53] but when i try to install === marcus is now known as Guest18479 [18:53] daftykins: it did nothing [18:53] it appear the blue screen [18:53] xD [18:53] dalekusa: as in, not even install the package? help me out here... [18:53] PaRaD0xR2: I am mistified " vboxdrv: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel " Is this a Virtual Machine ? // And the desk top is not starting " init: lightdm main process (1163) terminated with status 1 " Where I think 'status 1' is an error condition. [18:53] i think that it depending from this sector damaged [18:53] Mikuiuiui: you should probably memtest [18:54] ido [18:54] It said all the files in the package were already installed and updated [18:54] 1 pass [18:54] i think it's the hdd [18:54] the problem [18:54] Mikuiuiui: hmm 1 pass isn't really enough but ok, maybe setup is trying to read the hard disk yeah. ok, well if you're sure you don't want the recovery partition on the laptop, you can run my above command to completely wipe the hard disk [18:54] Mikuiuiui, sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | less [18:54] bynarie: we've been there already actually thanks. 1 pending sector. [18:54] oh ok [18:55] i'm suggesting a full zero fill to remap any troublesome sectors before a reinstall [18:56] Bashing-om: yes, I have virtualbox installed [18:56] daftykins, if you did that, wouldnt you have to run it from a live CD because the partition is already mounted, or are we talking about a non-mounted partition? [18:56] daftykins: what should I do now? [18:56] i try with the recovery partition ok' [18:56] ? [18:57] dalekusa: boot without nomodeset [18:57] Mikuiuiui: sure [18:57] how do I do that [18:57] how to do lol [18:57] hrm not even getting tty now :( [18:57] when it start there is press f* to recovery [18:57] try this? [18:58] daftykins, if you did that, wouldnt you have to run it from a live CD because the partition is already mounted, or are we talking about a non-mounted partition? [18:58] woops sorry... wrong thing [18:58] bynarie: user was in a live session, lol. [18:58] PaRaD0xR2: Sorry, but I know nothing about how a VM operates . EriC^^ ?? [18:58] dalekusa, when the boot menu pops up hit 'e', and find nomodeset by 'quiet splash', just remove 'nomodeset' [18:58] bynarie: i must say it's fun confirming my every decision [18:58] daftykins, yea lol [18:58] EriC^^ must be busy [18:58] when is the boot menu? [18:58] haven't seen him say anything in a while [18:58] bynarie: alright you saved me typing that, i shall let you off! [18:59] dalekusa: at... boot... [18:59] ha!

[22:47] shimx64.efi is for secure boot, i think it works if it's enabled or not though [22:47] (already runned the first one) [22:47] elichai2: yeah [22:48] EriC_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9481456/ [22:48] bekks: the short test complete without error [22:49] stukdev: So run the long test.

[22:50] bekks: and ok i assume the risk to reboot [22:50] :D [22:50] (in the efibootmgr log) [22:50] OK I tried to use the compiz manager to re-enable Unity, but now it is stuck at a broken pipe error, which appeared before, but soon went to the login screen [22:50] stukdev: It is your hdd, and it is you who wants to know wether the drive is dying or not :) [22:51] elichai2: no it's something else, guid or something i forgot [22:51] starting ubuntu normally [22:51] elichai2: if it doesn't work try the boot devices and see if you can manually load shimx64.efi or grubx64.efi [22:52] EriC_: wait, how can i see the files? [22:52] mmkay, now the login screen loads, but in the wrong resolution [22:52] (from the boot) [22:52] bekks: mmm whats sound strange is the offline keyword [22:52] elichai2: if you find a boot manager it might say From file...

[22:53] i think so [22:53] mine does, i think they all do [22:53] most even have efi prompts [22:54] *some even have efi prompts [22:54] EriC_: not in GRUB [22:54] ok, i'll try. brb [22:55] ok === sireebob is now known as christmascookie [22:56] and it didn't work [23:00] bekks: ok works! thanks u all guys!

[23:16] fluvvell: upgrade on the part of the CPU though? or was that the same beforehand? [23:16] elichai22: hey any luck? [23:16] julius3: rebooted it i take it? === elichai22 is now known as elichai2 [23:16] EriC_: see above [23:17] EriC_ nope [23:17] dalekusa: ok, how big is your home dir? [23:17] But I did got into "grub minimal bash" [23:17] What can I do from here? [23:17] elichai2: how did you get that? [23:17] daftykins, we took an existing install, put the hard drives into new motherboard-cpu-ram, ran upgrades from 10.04 to 14.04. All went fine except for graphics resolution. [23:17] (I'm writing from my phone now) [23:18] EriC_ from the bookable usb [23:18] fluvvell: ah so you have a fleet of these? [23:18] *bootable [23:18] fluvvell: ignore me, misread :D [23:18] daftykins: :-) [23:18] elichai2: the live usb?? [23:18] Yes [23:18] fluvvell: were there any PPAs on this install either before or now? [23:19] elichai2: oh wow.. [23:19] daftykins, good question. I'll check [23:19] Why? Lol [23:19] The live USB got GRUB [23:19] lol [23:19] it's disintegrating [23:19] But I don't know how to use grub minimal bash [23:20] EriC_: Well, what if I make a new user, and unity appears in full, but causes the computer to freeze like it did when I entered guest. [23:20] ? [23:20] daftykins, perhaps before when we had nvidia card onboard, now only mythbuntu repo ppas. [23:20] dalekusa: well then you fix the other problem [23:20] ok... [23:20] dalekusa: type sudo adduser and add a new user [23:20] then my computer will be a brick [23:20] EriC_, so you can help me with that? [23:20] fluvvell: is that checking both sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? [23:21] elichai2: i guess, hold on [23:21] fluvvell: also, is there an /etc/X11/xorg.conf in existence at all? [23:22] EriC_: I see now... [23:22] daftykins: grep ppa /etc/apt/* -R [23:22] We can fix that problem, but also focus on the freezing issue in tty [23:22] why am I such a dummy sometimes [23:23] daftykins: no current xorg.conf - have been trying with a 10-monitor.conf, which I took back out. [23:24] daftykins: what do you make of the line at 224.089 that seems to imply 0.0 refresh rate? [23:24] hhow do I get out of info? [23:24] fluvvell: now 'upgrade' has always been a dirty word for me in the IT industry, have you considered booting live media of 14.04.1 and 14.10 to see if the behaviour changes? [23:25] dalekusa: try pressing enter [23:25] q is alright [23:26] how exactly do I go about adding this new user? [23:26] < EriC_> dalekusa: type sudo adduser and add a new user [23:26] How well are Qualcomm 'Killer' branded network cards supported in ubuntu? I'm looking into buying a new motherboard and a lot of them have this junk instead of something more traditional [23:26] I get "Only one or two names allowed error [23:27] EriC_, so with 'ls' I can see 3 things. 1. Memtest 2. (hd0,msdos1) 3. (hd1) [23:27] dalekusa: type sudo useradd [23:27] I can see that 1 and 2 both from the usb [23:27] sorry, sudo adduser [23:27] elichai2: hmm [23:27] Quixx: plenty stick to a conventional intel NIC, that'd be my vote [23:27] (ls'ing hd0,msdos1 show me files that are in the live usb [23:27] daftykins: you'll have to bear with me a bit on that, I did the upgrade here without the benefit of the 30" monitor, and the unit is now 450 km away, I'm working it by remote. [23:28] Could I rename anything if and when I complete this operation? [23:28] elichai2: i think you can boot the ubuntu installation from there [23:28] Well, if they play well with the Killer stuff then it'd make my choice easier. I could always get an add on card as well, but I'd prefer to use the onboard. [23:28] fluvvell: ah ok :) yep no worries, can consider that a backup plan [23:28] dalekusa: how big is your home dir [23:28] But when I tried 'ls (hd1) I got "error: failure reading sector 0x80 from' hd1'. [23:28] Hello, have a channel here in freenode for C programming? Or I can talk about C in any linux channel? [23:28] daftykins: yes and shipping both the box and the 30" has issues. [23:28] What about full name first? [23:28] dalekusa: you can make a user and change the name later, and use usermod to copy the dir over etc. [23:29] EriC_ [23:29] ok [23:29] dalekusa: you can change it all later [23:29] Anything worth upgrading to 14.10 instead of having 14.04 LTS? Any big changes? [23:29] Room Number? [23:29] fluvvell: one thought is that i don't think HDMI can carry 2560x1600 @ 60Hz, so a displayport cable would've been a better match on this thing [23:29] dalekusa: i'd rather you backup your home dir in "/backup" and then copy it back [23:29] marcelino: ##c on freenode currently has 649 in the channel [23:29] What is Room Number? [23:29] i've never tried usermod 's move home dir option [23:30] dalekusa: Room Number? [23:30] I got that after I typed in the Full Name [23:30] elichai2: hold on buddy [23:30] ty arquebus [23:31] Holding on :) === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:31] (it's just 1:31am here lol) [23:32] ooooh [23:32] ok [23:32] nvm about that [23:32] daftykins, think it was previously running on DVI, are they not electrically compatible? I Think I can get it changed. [23:33] elichai2: this is my ubuntu entry for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/9481819/ [23:33] how do I back up my home, EriC_ ? [23:34] fluvvell: reading into it, the best i can find is: "HDMI 1.3 increased that to 340 MHz, which allows for higher resolution (such as WQXGA, 2560×1600) across a single digital link." though no clarification of whether that's at 60Hz, so changing cable would be my simplest idea (beyond testing a newer version of ubuntu and thus a newer kernel) [23:34] Looks like most are supported under 3.10 kernel and newer [23:34] elichai2: if you type recordfail insmod part_gpt insmod ext2set root='.....; [23:35] so does anybody know/want to help? [23:35] EriC_ and what's root path? :P [23:36] elichai2: linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-40-generic.efi.signed root=/dev/sda3 ro [23:36] elichai2: initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-40-generic [23:36] elichai2: replace with your kernel [23:36] julius3: i replied actually. i asked if you'd rebooted the router. === drbrent_ is now known as drbrent [23:37] oh sorry, I didn't see it [23:37] dalekusa: sudo mkdir /backup [23:37] no, I haven't [23:37] ok [23:37] dalekusa: sudo rsync -av /home/ /backup [23:37] julius3: that'll be step #1 then please [23:37] would that make sense? [23:37] EriC_ but I can't access my ssd from here [23:37] I've connected dozens of devices to it [23:37] it's only this 1 that isn't working [23:37] elichai2: why not [23:37] julius3: yep, sometimes they just get stroppy. [23:37] At least not with the ways I tried [23:38] elichai2: that's odd [23:38] daftykins, I have three devices connected to it right now [23:38] elichai2: you could try to put the hdd in and let the efi partition there boot the ssd installation [23:38] julius3: all this talk is a lot more effort than a quick reboot :) [23:38] elichai2: i was going to suggest that [23:39] daftykins, no [23:39] EriC_: next [23:39] I don't want to touch it, I'm not in charge of it [23:39] julius3: ok then i'll direct you to ##networking where you can be told the same thing, possibly in a lot less polite a manner. [23:39] dalekusa: are all your files in /backup ? type ls -l /backup [23:39] hmm? [23:39] daftykins: I'll get him to plug it in tonight, thanks that was one think I hadn't considered [23:39] EriC_ I removed that partition, but I can try reinstall it [23:39] how do I move them [23:39] I installed wine as root, instead of using sudo, should I uninstall and reinstall? [23:39] EriC_ [23:39] What about trying legacy? [23:40] daftykins, it's this machine [23:40] elichai2: it is also an option [23:40] daftykins, you're not even going to ask for debug output from me attempting to connect to actually figure out what's wrong? [23:40] EriC_, what advantages UEFI even have?! [23:40] EriC: Dinner is ready, so I'll be right back [23:40] elichai2: faster boot i think [23:40] elichai2: and some other stuff i guess [23:40] i forgot [23:40] elichai2: it's basically the same [23:41] Ohh OK, I'll got to sleep and tomorrow I'll try legacy [23:41] Thank you very muxh [23:41] julius3: i was in here doing exactly that with a user once, went through all the detailed levels... ended being a reboot. so i'd rather start simple [23:41] *much [23:41] elichai2: ok, no problem [23:41] hello all [23:41] I'm back [23:41] daftykins, I'm sorry but I can't reboot it [23:42] it'll probably reset all the settings and piss off my roommates [23:42] and it's in my roommate's room and I'm not going in there [23:42] julius3: from a reboot? aka power off and on? sorry that's rubbish. [23:42] contact them. [23:42] sudo make install show me these error: "sudo: make: command not found" wich package need install? [23:42] daftykins, there was a power outage once and it was reset [23:43] jak3000: what are you trying to install? [23:43] http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/ [23:43] noip-updater [23:43] it's a cheap router that probably has no persistent memory other than whatever rom it's all running off [23:43] !info noip-updater [23:43] Package noip-updater does not exist in utopic [23:43] julius3: that is also rubbish :) i hope you're not a CS student [23:43] EriC_: http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client-on-ubuntu/ [23:43] I was able to make a new installation of ubuntu running side by side with windows. I also able to install all the DEs in one shot. I always surprise how I like lxde. it is a very good looking DE. [23:43] !find noip [23:43] File noip found in dyndns, openvas-plugins-dfsg [23:43] I'm unable to upgrade because there is supposedly no space yet, but all of my partitions have plenty of space. https://gist.github.com/brianmingus/987e2753ab5f85b8d506 [23:44] *no space left [23:44] jak3000: sudo apt-get install make [23:44] daftykins, it's absolutely true, when it lost power it reset [23:44] if I reboot, it'll probably reset again [23:44] EriC_ thanks [23:44] jak3000: you probably need build-essential [23:44] julius3: nope sorry. in all my years of networking that's the tallest tale :) [23:45] daftykins, I'm not experienced with ubuntu and have no idea how to debug its network manager, right now when I try to connect it keeps popping up with the password prompt over and over, so I'm guessing it's an authentication problem [23:46] julius3: pastebin the logs that support this - however this can still be a problem that a reboot fixes, so you're just wasting both of our time really. [23:46] daftykins, I don't know where the log files are stored [23:46] I installed wine as root, should I uninstall and reinstall? [23:46] julius3: /var/log/ - try running "dmesg | tail" and so on [23:47] !log [23:47] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. [23:47] it's a basic guess because the connection fails right away [23:47] nope wrong log. [23:47] alright [23:48] i do find it lovely when people believe me :( [23:48] ubuntuer: you mean you did sudo -i then apt-get install wine? [23:51] Hey, all! So, in order to put Ubuntu Touch on my SD card through Ubuntu Desktop, I'm having to use the terminal command fsck to try to diagnose and fix problems because Ubuntu is having problems writing to it (even though under Windows 7, it works just fine). If fsck doesn't work, what else can I use? [23:51] !touch | UTL [23:51] UTL: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [23:52] EriC_ no, I had to do sudo su before because I had to rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock then I forgot to exit [23:52] EriC_: I'm back [23:52] How do I create the backup? [23:52] I've already asked under #ubuntu-touch. I didn't get a response. === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:53] dalekusa: wb [23:53] dalekusa, backintime is a decent program [23:53] UTL: i see, well that's its' channel. "dmesg | tail" to share some errors perhaps. (via pastebin not pasting in here) [23:53] !patience | UTL [23:53] UTL: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:53] dalekusa: did you type sudo mkdir /backup ? [23:54] UTL: waiting 30 seconds is not waiting on irc. [23:54] compdoc: thanks, but I am having a ton of issues with unity [23:54] EriC_: Yes [23:54] dalekusa: sudo rsync -av /home/ /backup [23:54] compdoc: This is to facilitate a user move [23:55] * UTL gets the point. Maybe he IS being a little too hasty! He realizes now that he should be a little more patient. [23:55] ubuntuer: it's perfectly fine, you can't install anything without privileges anyways [23:55] UTL: and "working on windows" doesnt mean working 100% at all. windows is sometimes not telling you that its just making stupid errors on the sdcard but pretending everything is all fine. [23:56] Okay, thanks! I'll keep in touch... Ubuntu Touch, that is! [23:56] EriC_ thanks for answering I'm just worried about the ownership of files that's all [23:56] I better hope all this doesn't fill my 500 GB hard drive full [23:56] (it isn't halfway full yet [23:56] ) [23:57] ubuntuer: hopefully you're not using "sudo su" though [23:58] dalekusa: that's why i asked you about the size of your home dir [23:58] dalekusa: du -sh /home/ [23:58] Will there be three copies in the end [23:58] daftykins yes I did [23:58] I already started the backup [23:59] ubuntuer: don't :) "sudo su -" or "sudo -i" etc [23:59] dalekusa: hold on [23:59] dalekusa: press ctrl+c [23:59] daftykins: sudo -i is the preferred method [23:59] Ummm.... ubottu? What is "pastebin"?
