[00:29] rahduke: yes.see smart info for more detail but i would look out for backing my important data [00:29] Hi, I got a VPS-provider which offers me to add several ips for each instance. I was wondering how I can go about using a different ip for each user running their own programs. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, and that all users have access to all ips? Also I guess I would need to configure iptables somehow? Any help would be greatly appretiated :) [00:30] Darkcoins: you cant. [00:30] k1l: according to smart data, says disk is "OK" i do see some intermittent errors though due to "old age" [00:30] daftykins, it was displaying fine until i tried to install atmel-firmware [00:30] bekks: Would u care to elaborate? :P [00:30] Darkcoins: IPs do not depend on the users using them. [00:31] k1l: Spin time is "Pre fail" I imagine this is bad [00:31] delta9: great, now you tell us :P tried undoing your action? [00:31] ok, so say I got a server with several ips. Would I need to configure iptables or do the rules already apply for all ips? [00:32] bekks [00:32] daftykins, i thought i did, should i try again? [00:32] delta9: do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [00:33] Darkcoins: you cannot configure IPs on a per-user basis. [00:33] daftykins delta9 how about this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1203437 === xubuntu_ is now known as jost [00:34] bekks: Ok, I understand, but is there a way to say a program should use a certain ip for traffic?

[00:35] daftykins, no i do not [00:35] creatorb: AMD 4xxx and before have moved to legacy status and can't work at all on newer than 12.04.1 [00:35] rahduke: Yes, yu need to run a full fsck (fsck -f) on the affected filesystems [00:36] Darkcoins: A webserver like apache2 can have virtualhosts configured to route differing sites to different NICs (seperate ips) [00:36] AvengerLives: Thats not exactly what he wants to do ;) [00:36] bekks: drive wont even umount [00:36] rahduke: why not? [00:36] delta9: for some reason the VESA driver is being selected, if you read the file i asked you to pastebin. can you confirm the device line by pasting into here just the single one from "lspci" ? [00:37] Darkcoins: I'm late to the convo, so I appologize, however one of the key reasons for having multiple NICS is load balancing [00:37] bekks: volume busy, think its trying to empty the trash [00:37] guess i can reboot to shell and do it there [00:37] daftykins, come again? [00:37] rahduke: I think you are trying to unmount your / filesystem. [00:37] na just my mount [00:37] rahduke: And the trash is never emptied upon umount. [00:37] oh maybe u were right [00:37] sorry [00:37] AvengerLives: What I wanted to do was running the same program on several users and routing the traffic from each program through separate ips. [00:38] Darkcoins: Thats not possible. [00:38] I'm having a problem with video playback on Xubuntu 14.04 32 bit, anything with a resolution over ~360x240 drops frames and stutters [00:39] Darkcoins: That isn't possible and it wouldn't net you any benefit anyhow [00:40] daftykins, i'm unclear as to what you want me to do [00:40] Darkcoins: depending upon the program and your vision, you can absolutely use the logged traffic across multiple INBOUND ips to differentiate users' traffic. [00:40] delta9: confirm your device entry from 'lspci' - am i talking swahili again? :P [00:41] Darkcoins: multiple ips on the same system accomplishes a different goal (namely duplication, load-balancing, and backup/failover) [00:41] AvengerLives: It actually would net me a benefit as it is crucial the programs are accessible through only their separate ips :P Kinda wanted to tie a program running on one user to a certain ip. Sucks if it is impossible :( [00:42] why not route differing ports per user...? [00:42] daftykins, are you asking me to put up a pastebin for that command? i'm sorry but i just don't get what you mean by confirm device entry [00:42] bekks: Ok tried that, now I'm beyond my depth http://pastebin.com/LfsPg6DM any ideas? [00:42] delta9: as in confirm it to me... it's a device entry because it's an entry in 'lspci' 's output for a device, :/ [00:42] AvengerLives: I must use a certain port for the program, and they need to have different ips [00:42] I guess it just isn't doable then :-/ [00:43] Darkcoins: You could conceivably have the same program listen on multiple ports, depending upon the robustness of the configurability of said program. [00:43] bad superblock is bad! [00:43] delta9: type lspci and check what VGA device you have [00:43] Darkcoins: hmmm, I'm stumped then. [00:43] Eric^^, thank you [00:44] daftykins, VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780L [Radeon 3000] [00:44] gnubie thats kinda clever [00:44] AvengerLives: The programs are part of a decentralized network and require the use of separate ips and ports in order to not get rejected by the rest of the network. Was just wondering if I could cut my costs using only one instance instead of several. [00:45] delta9: this firmware you put on, was it in a package? [00:46] Darkcoins: does the VPS offer virtualization? that would consolidate the instances and allow for several NICS [00:46] daftykins, i just punched in sudo apt-get install atmel-firmware [00:46] !info atmel-firmware trusty [00:46] atmel-firmware (source: atmel-firmware): Firmware for Atmel at76c50x wireless networking chips.. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.3-4 (trusty), package size 449 kB, installed size 860 kB [00:47] was trying to get a usb wireless antenna working [00:49] AvengerLives: hmm, I don't think so, I'm using Vultr. I guess they want me to pay for several instances if I need several instances.. makes sense for them not to offer that :P [00:49] delta9: just for fun, try booting an older kernel [00:49] daftykins, how? [00:50] daftykins, and i have confirmed that atmel-firmware is gone [00:50] delta9: just before your OS boots, hold left shift, then go to advanced options and pick an older kernel [00:50] via what method? [00:51] Darkcoins: Honestly, virtualization sounds exactly like your solution. Not to mention it is a robust failover as well as simple and snappy. The spool up of similar instances on a single or a few machines is a breeze [00:51] Darkcoins: Migration also allows for seemless hardware upgrades. [00:51] delta9: which driver were you using for VGA? [00:51] daftykins, sudo apt-get remove atmel-firmware and then sudo apt-get purge atmel-firmware [00:51] Eric^^, no clue [00:52] delta9: type lshw -C video | grep driver [00:52] Darkcoins: I wish you the best of luck... I have to get back to work. [00:52] AvengerLives: So I would have an instance where I run VMs that have each their own ip? Sounds like the same problem all over again :P [00:52] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9495674/ <-- delta9's - line 423 doesn't look good [00:52] i've no idea what's causing it though [00:53] AvengerLives: Ok, thank you! I guess it isn't as easy a s I first thought. At least I learned a little more! ^^ [00:53] daftykins: i saw an error about a missing fglrx module dont know if it's relevant [00:53] nah, unsupported card [00:53] or it always tries to load it whether it's installed or not [00:53] oh ok [00:53] unless delta9 tried to install fglrx and isn't letting us know ;) [00:54] daftykins, install what? [00:54] nevermind, you tried that kernel yet? [00:54] daftykins, i don't know how [00:54] i just told you how [00:55] delta9: just before your OS boots, hold left shift, then go to advanced options and pick an older kernel [00:55] yep, just saw it [00:55] daftykins: the 5xxx from ATI are also legacy === christmascow is now known as christmascookie === beisner- is now known as beisner [00:57] cryptodan: oh? recent change? === ubuntu is now known as Guest21840 [00:59] daftykins: never mind I could have sworn that the HD5xxx were legacy [01:01] anybody have problems with laptop battery on linux. just switched from windows 7 and its only filling to 50% of the batteries capacity [01:03] daftykins, all is well with the kernel ending in .35 [01:03] daftykins, including atmel-firmware [01:07] delta9: err, but you got rid of it? how is it still there? :D [01:07] daftykins, on a hunch i reinstalled it. and now everything's happy [01:08] winnar \o/ [01:09] daftykins, so how do i get it to constantly boot to the kernel ending in .35?

[02:33] Glitch1: Probably need proprietary graphics drivers. [02:34] Gerowen There is no such thing for a Radeon 7500 === sins-_m is now known as sins- === marcos is now known as Guest72210 [02:36] Glitch1: If there's no proprietary driver available for your card on Linux, then my guess is you'll have to deal with the stuttering. If you install the package "mesa-utils" then run the command "glxgears" and maximize the window, I'll bet you get some silly framerate, and maybe even some noticeable tearing. [02:37] Glitch1: I got 60 fps on my ATI Radeon HD 4200 with open source driver, but I'm not having the issue you are with videos tearing. [02:37] Gerown Why does the driver even matter though? There's no VADPU (or whatever the acronym is) on this card, and the computer plays 480p full screen videos without dropping a single frame on windows, and 720p videos also work fine if encoded properly. [02:45] Anyone else have any ideas? I've run 480p youtube videos (downloaded of course) in VLC on an 800Mhz Athlon with a Radeon 7500 under FreeBSD. The CPU I'm using now is almost 3x as fast, so the hardware is more than plenty powerful enough.

[02:49] Glitch1: sry then, but... try mplayer, it's more lighweight than vlc -.- [02:50] I have tried mplayer, along with html5 in FIrefox&pale moon and parole, they all perform identically [02:50] Does anyone have any experience with setting up mail servers [02:50] Xubuntu is the only distro I have had this problem with. [02:52] I need help setting up my server to automatically setup a mail server on multiple domains [02:55] Glitch1: what version of Ubuntu? [02:55] 14.04 [02:56] Glitch1: go back to Ubuntu 12.04 and use FGLRX [02:57] cryptodan I can't really do that. This is for the moment my only computer, and what's more, it's installed to a 32GB USB drive, since I don't have an HDD for it. Also, IIRC fglrx hasn't supported this card since before 2010. [02:59] Glitch1: err, why are you using such a relic? [03:00] to be quite honest you just need to get with the times. hardware moves on [03:00] Glitch1: its supported in in Linux MInt 13 which is based off of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I use FGLRX on it [03:01] daftykins There is no reason to upgrade this hardware when it is more than capable of doing what I need it to do. It's more than capable of browsing the web and playing 480p video, which is what I use it for. That said, my desktop is a 4.4GHz 6 core monster, I have power when I need it. [03:01] cryptodan on a Radeon 7500? [03:01] yea bro... get with the program dude! [03:01] lol [03:01] Hey! I have a small issue. The media keys on my keyboard arent working. They work for around 10 minutes after I reboot, but after I open a few apps, it stops working. Any know fix for this? [03:02] ona Radeon 4200 [03:02] Glitch1: well good luck with that. i don't have the time to deal with those that want to use museum pieces. [03:02] cryptodan This card is about 10 years older than yours [03:02] daftykins thanks for the "help" then... [03:03] Glitch1: you get what you pay for. deal with it. [03:04] daftykins yes, what I paid almost $2000 for over 10 years ago. I don't need your "help." [03:04] err, right you paid so that in 10 years some volunteers could join IRC [03:05] daftykins I'm done with you. Your trolling is sub-par 0/10 [03:06] nahtnam, what media keys are you refering to? [03:06] i do not troll, i call out people wasting the channel's time [03:06] bynarie: Play/Pause, Skip, and Back. Volume works fine no matter what. [03:06] And I call out trolls and people who are such douchebags that trolling is their normal mode of social interaction. Goodebye. [03:08] excellent now we can get back to legitimate support [03:09] SO is there anyone here to help instead of making an ass of themselves? [03:09] Glitch1: that attitude will not serve you well here [03:11] Ben64 I'm just trying to get some help with my Xubuntu install, not be told that I should go out and spend more money on something new when what I have now works. That said, the disrespect was targeted at a single user, not the rest of the IRC, sorry if you interpreted it that way, as it wasn't my intent. [03:13] unsupported card is unsupported. [03:14] Glitch1: for that old hardware (sigle core at 800 Mghz with no graphic acceleration support) use another desktop enviroment like "fluxbox" for instance, and/or use "Puppy Linux" which cames with an cut xorg server and it's very very lightweight [03:15] with a* cut xorg... [03:15] hey freedom fightes [03:15] fighters [03:17] Chuck_Norris I'm actually using Xubuntu 14.04, and the particular computer is a 1.8GHz Pentium M. The computer you are referencing is what I used as an example of what was sufficient to do what I need to do. Anyways, Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately my current situation precludes me from being able to switch distros at the moment.

I have live usb with kubuntu 15.04 on Lenovo B590. Everything works - wifi, eth, sound, bt, touchpad... But when I install it on hdd, none of it works, even eth. Any help? [03:20] one of the best :D [03:20] carlin and bill hicks :D [03:21] AleksejsHome: Welcome to GNU/Linux [03:21] SilverSlimer: thanks :) [03:21] AleksejsHome as for the problem, do you at least get to boot to desktop [03:22] ? [03:22] SilverSlimer: yes [03:22] AleksejsHome: SilverSlimer 15.04 is not supported yet [03:22] !15.04 [03:22] Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [03:22] oh i didn't even notice the version # [03:23] xangua: I see. Is it possible to install 14.* while I'm on 15.04 live? [03:23] i have just warmed up to KDE 4.x myself ... really i think 5.x (still not done yet anyway) is too buggy for "regular use" [03:23] AleksejsHome: no, you'll need a 14.x live to install 14.x [03:24] just my view === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [03:24] teward: yeah, but how can I get 14.x on usb if I boot from that usb? I guess I need the 2nd usb but I don't [03:25] AleksejsHome: you would have to format the disk as 14.x from a separate computer, or a 2nd usb stick. [03:25] uh how did you make THAT usb? ... dont you have some OS installed ? [03:25] AleksejsHome: how did you make your USB then, though? [03:26] or another PC ...yes thats another option [03:26] Anyone know a solution to the problem I have? [03:27] I made it yesterday while I was on work. I launched unetbootin and there was "kubuntu daily build" or something, I decided to pick it, that was my mistake [03:28] ah ha ... "daily build" means alpha really ... not the latest "stable, supported version" [03:28] (that goes for any distro [03:28] xmetal: yeah :( [03:28] a "test of the too-be-released" version so to speak [03:28] ^ [03:29] AleksejsHome: remake the USB with Kubuntu 14.04 or 14.10 on it later at work - might help. Until then you're kind of stuck. [03:29] besides i think KDE 5 is "still in development" anyway [03:30] ubuntu 14, why doesn't my cups install have the lpr command? [03:32] some insane idea: if I use unetbootin to install arch on hdd, then I boot from it, install unetbootin and remake usb to 14.* ? Will it work? [03:32] o_O [03:32] afaik, there's no difference in arch live and install images [03:32] AleksejsHome: why not just install what IS on the flash drive? [03:32] can anyone help me figure out which linux video driver i need to be using? [03:33] botanickill: sure, what's your graphics card? [03:33] daftykins: because nothing works then [03:33] "nothing works" ? [03:33] why arch? (i love arch, dont get me wrong) ... er ... if you can put arch on a usb ..why not ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10? [03:33] how do i find that out via terminal [03:33] botanickill: lspci [03:33] daftykins: touchpad, wifi, eth, sound, bt - almost nothing [03:33] daft ... it is a nightly build of Kubuntu 15.04 [03:33] sudo lspci? [03:33] he/she has on usb [03:33] xmetal: yeah i read that. [03:34] VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G96M [GeForce 9600M GT] (rev a1) [03:35] botanickill: hmm, what kind of computer is this? [03:35] botanickill: definitely no other entries such as intel? [03:35] (intel graphics) [03:36] it is a dell xps all in one mtg 24 i think [03:37] botanickill: so which ubuntu is installed on it? [03:37] http://pastebin.com/74xVRi9E [03:37] its on xubuntu [03:38] 14.04 ubuntu [03:38] botanickill: run the hardware drivers program and you should be offered different nvidia drivers [03:38] It seems that it's possible to write 14.* over 15.* on usb while I'm booted from it [03:38] ya thers like six different ones [03:39] you can reformat the flash drive your booted into while your on it [03:40] botanickill: doesn't matter, that device is pretty old. 304 would be ok probably [03:40] xmetal: no you can't [03:40] it says the 331 is installed but ill switch it the 304 [03:41] botanickill: well if it's working now, no point changing [03:41] what are you after exactly? [03:41] one of the 304 says updates [03:41] i was having minor mishaps with the pc overheating [03:42] shutting off and rebooting [03:42] that might be more of a cooling issue than anything to do with the driver used :) [03:42] thats kinda what i figured [03:42] then why are you here? [03:42] ill tear it apart next and clean it out [03:42] good stuff [03:42] just to check with the experts like yourself [03:43] lol. [03:43] thanks daftykins! [03:43] let me give you a piece of advice, never pass off someone elses suggestion as your own thinking [03:43] it instantly ruins your credibility [03:43] agreed [03:43] good luck on the surgery [03:43] thanks === Tsunami is now known as Guest29079 [03:49] <__303__> jf [04:05] hiii [04:06] hi all [04:07] agravat: got a question?

I'd like to stick with Ubuntu server though, I'm just curious if the 14.04 installer provides a btrfs option or if I should format and partition the disk prior to installation [09:22] vbgunz: yeah so dig up the release notes === swordsmanz is now known as hugbot [09:58] !pastebin [09:58] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. === newbie is now known as Guest63991 [10:01] ¿Is this correct: [10:02] Ubuntu flavors of Emacs lack full documentation === ubuntu is now known as Guest84861 [10:05] where can I upload an image? pasteall.org keeps reporting errors: "File could not be moved".

[10:19] arandr shows the width of the "background" is bigger than the sum of two monitors' width somehow. this doesn't happen with 1366x768 and 1920x1080 combination. [10:20] lasers, i did that. nothing happened. [10:21] sgo11: Ah okay. I figure it was worth a shot. I had same thing (left rotation on right monitor).

[10:32] lasers, do you have two graphic cards in your PC/laptop? I tried all the drivers half year ago. none of them works because I have builtin intel card.

[10:49] mbcx2: no [10:50] mbcx2: how'd you format your pc? [10:51] mbcx2: Using sda1-4 is the reason for not being able to install Ubuntu alongside of windows. You cant create any more partitions, since you already created four primary ones [10:51] I cleared all the partition and installed windows [10:51] yes I have 4 primary [10:51] Hello room [10:51] do you want to see the windows partition manager?

It boots to a black screen with a text cursor in the upper left corner, and the keyboard is unresponsive, I can't even switch to a different TTY. [10:52] mbcx2: you mean you don't have any unallocated space? [10:52] any solution for my problem? [10:52] no currently [10:52] EriC^^: HE cynt even use that space.

Boot into Ubuntu live session :P [10:56] I appreciate your help Ubuntu community :) [10:56] I wish you good luck! [10:57] Can someone help me? Xubuntu boots to a black screen with a text cursor in the top left corner. Booting to single user mode and looking at the xorg log, it says that DRI initialization failed because fglrx.ko is missing or incomplete. It was working fine until this last update. [10:57] atop: try an older kernel [10:58] EriC^^ All 3 entries in GRUB produce the same result [10:58] atop: type dpkg -l | grep fglrx [10:59] How can I delete all .o files in a folder? [10:59] EriC^^ It didn't print anything. I didn't install it through the repos since the version there is out of date. [10:59] Rako: rm *.o [11:00] Rako: do that while in the directory [11:00] alright eric [11:00] atop: it should still show up [11:00] atop: try to reinstall it [11:01] how did you install it? dpkg -i ? [11:01] How do I reinstall it from the terminal? [11:01] atop: how'd you install it the first time? [11:01] No, I used the installer with the driver from their website [11:01] atop: Ouch, that will break upon EVERY kernel update. [11:02] atop: then you'll need to switch back to the non-fglrx driver and rerun it. After every kernel update. [11:02] Wonderful... [11:02] Is there a guide to switching it back? [11:02] atop: Uninstall all traces of your manual installation. Hopefully the .run from the website has an uninstall option. [11:02] Then, install the driver from the repos. [11:02] alright [11:03] thanks [11:03] atop: good luck :) [11:03] Hopefully this works [11:04] atop: just moving xorg.conf out of the way should make Ubuntu use the default driver, which may not be as performant but will at least give you a gui. [11:06] Seveas, thanks for the tip, as it seems the uninstaller isn't gonna happen [11:06] Actually [11:06] atop: did you try ./installer.run --uninstall ?

But it says "not available for current version". I purchased it when I was using 12.10 and I am currently running 14.10. is there a way to install the older version repository [11:10] *from the repository [11:10] foxnet, get the source and compile [11:11] I dont think it is open source [11:11] foxnet: you could try installing the deb for 12.10 on 14.10, but there's no guarantee at all that that will work. [11:11] Seveas removing the xorg config didn't do it [11:12] I guess I'll try manually removing it [11:12] Seveas, can you tell me how make ubuntu software center get me the 12.10 version instead of giving me the message [11:13] How about getting it straight from their site, there's a .tar.gz available. [11:13] foxnet: you cant. [11:14] foxnet: you have to download it from the website and try installing (or even better: packaging) it for your current release. [11:16] bekks, the .tgz is the demo version I have purchased the full version on USC === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [11:16] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL9bq3YmHJo [11:16] Seveas Running the --uninstall switch on their installer did the trick [11:16] thank you very much [11:16] foxnet, if you've purchased it perhaps they can supply an updated package or the full version as a tarball [11:16] foxnet, 14.10? 9 months of support? Install LTS 14.04 for 3 years of support and test install your game there. [11:17] also if you download the demo, it'll prove if it works on the new version [11:17] foxnet, or ask the game publisher to pretty please package their game for the 9 month lifespan of 14.10 ... good luck with that [11:17] One of the reason I stick with LTS ;-) [11:18] kobidrifter, exactomundo! [11:20] Is there a PPA that packages the most recent stable MESA? Like oibaf, but for stable branches only [11:20] atop: "most recent" and "stable" are pretty much contradictory :) [11:21] bekks The most recent stable branch === Yukitteru is now known as Yukinotteru [11:25] The 12.10 demo works brilliantly now I just have to mail the devs to make the full version available for 14+ [11:25] foxnet: The devs of that game - it is originally designed for 10.10 :) [11:26] l amore bugiardo [11:26] Nevermind, I managed to get the fglrx package generator to work [11:26] Thanks for the help everyone [11:26] have a good morning [11:29] I just don't understand why USC tries to stop the user from installing older version of the games and let them test it for themselves.

[11:50] Thanks kobidrifter! I've read this before. But this is not what I need. I need to install a package for the whole system. [11:51] Thanks ikonia & cfhowlett! Is that same as backport package? [11:51] no [11:51] Carbon_Monoxide, absolutely not [11:51] it means someone/a group has built a package [11:51] !backport | Carbon_Monoxide, [11:51] Carbon_Monoxide,: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports.

[12:11] someone235: flash is dead on linux and is very out of date compared to flash on the web [12:12] Please don't suggest me to install pepper, because it significantly slowed my browser and PC [12:12] someone235: I'm suggest that at all [12:13] ikonia, so what should I do? [12:13] ikonia http://pastebin.com/iZB9q2rx [12:13] someone235: Your only alternative is using PEpperFlash. [12:13] someone235: my personal opinion is stop using flash [12:13] cfhowlett: http://ur1.ca/j3tsa [12:13] grar: did you do the auto-remove ? [12:13] bekks, I've just used it for a day, and my PC got stuck anytime I've used flash [12:14] ikonia it wants to remove packages that I know for a fact will break my system if removed [12:14] grar: wuch as ? [12:14] grar: such as ? [12:14] bibi234, the hash code - ca0de ... [12:14] someone235: Which doesnt change the fact that Flash is dead on Linux, besides PepperFlash. [12:15] ikonia AT the very least removing vlc-data will break VLC, and I find it hard to beleive removing all those libs won't give me an unbootable system if it's telling me to remove something that VLC depends on [12:15] bekks, So if I can't use PepperFlash I just can't use flash on linux? [12:15] grar: are you sure, remember this is 32bit packages [12:15] someone235: Thats it, yes. [12:16] grar: are you sure you are not using the 64bit versions and thus the 32bit ones will not be used any more as they are part of a dependency install that is now osbolete ? [12:16] cfhowlett: yes I know but I'd like to get ride of the filename, is there an option to not display it? or maybe I can chain another command to only grab the first part? [12:16] it doesn't say that any of those are 32 bit, anwyays, I don't have 32 bit VLC stuff [12:16] grar: personally - I'd remove them, you can always add them back [12:16] grar: it's clearly locked in a dependcy issue because of these packages [12:16] grar: my personal view is don't use play on linux - it's worthless, it's just a front end to wine [12:16] bibi234, pretty sure that option exists. read man md5sum [12:17] grar: what ikonia said, also, the wine in the winehq ppa is much better/newer [12:17] ikonia Not having to install ~30 different wine versions is convenient beyond measure [12:17] my system has been freezing at random times. Everything just stops and i hear audio looping (if any playing). I tried reinstalling but the issue persists. I read something called a kernal panic is this one those. [12:17] one of the only times i actually recommend using a PPA [12:17] grar: I agree, you only need one [12:17] grar: play on linux doesn't change the wine dependency [12:17] infact, I don't think people should be using wine - but that is only personal view [12:17] ikonia Witht eh amount of regressions wine has I need several [12:17] Foxnet: Do you have keyboard LEDs? [12:18] grar: I do'nt believe that is realistic [12:18] if you use wine might as well have windows. [12:18] ikonia it did remove VLC and Clementine [12:18] ikonia I need one for Steam and 2 games on there, and 2 different version each for 2 older games that I play [12:19] cfhowlett: I don't see such option, they say "The default mode is to print a line with checksum, a character indicating type (`*' for binary, ` ' for text), and name for each FILE." [12:19] grar: thats your call, I don't believe that is a realistic way to use your machine especially with wine and its dependencies [12:19] bibi234, well, that's the official word then ... [12:19] you mean backlit of my keyboard. Yes it does but they are not on. They have not been on since I switched to ubuntu [12:20] ikonia Unfortunately Wine tends to have tons of regressions every release, so I'm kind of stuck with it [12:20] Foxnet: No. I mean keyboard LED, not backlight :) [12:20] cfhowlett: is it possible to chain a command then? [12:20] grar: this is one of the reasons I don't think people should use wine [12:20] bibi234, of course! my bash fu isn't up to the task but ##bash would know [12:21] ikonia I would rather everything be native as well, unfortunately most developers would rather die in a car crash than either open source their decade old games, or port their newer ones to Linux [12:21] ikonia anyways it seems removign all of those packages fixed the dependancy chain, and I've reinstalled VLC, so let's just hope my system boots at the enxt restart... [12:21] grar: I understand your pain, thats why I see a dual boot system as the realistic option for the situation you are describing [12:22] Why can [12:22] cfhowlett: ok thx I'll go there [12:22] why cant I install finnish language http://pastebin.com/yUcRUgzp [12:22] {Uptime} [13:22:37 up 1:51, 3 users] {Load average} [0,36, 0,71, 0,66] [12:23] ekik: what version of ubuntu [12:23] jatt: please disable that script in here [12:23] bekks, Do you mean the led indicating numlock on? [12:23] Foxnet: Yeah :) [12:23] 14.04 LTS [12:23] y [12:23] ikonia Unfortunately I don't trust Windows/Intel CPUs at all on any of my computers, as I use the same network for highly sensitive work, albeit that goes on on a segregated portion. [12:23] ekik: run sudo apt-get update first then try again and report back [12:23] grar sorry, you don't trust windows, but you do trust wine..... [12:24] grar: I'll leave you to work out your own solutions, [12:24] ikonia wine isn't a dozen gigabytes of code with thousands of backdoors that are claimed to be "bugs" every time one gets exploited [12:24] grar: yes it is [12:25] it's maintained by a group of people that are no more/less trustable than microsoft [12:25] bekks, y does it matter? [12:25] Foxnet: Yes. When your system hangs - do they blink? [12:26] ikonia I trust them more than a company that has already proven it will do anything it takes to make a buck no matter the cost of computer users, and works quite closely with alphabet soup agencies. Also, the attack surface is a tiny fraction of what WIndow's has. [12:26] grar: up to you === Mish|sleep is now known as Mish|Fruehstueck [12:27] bekks, I haven't noticed that. Is it linux signalling me that it is screwed . [12:28] ikonia If I can't trust Wine, chances are I can't trust Canonical either, but if you don't draw the line somewhere, then you're stuck using your own assembly programs on a 486 with 8MB of RAM [12:28] grar: up to you [12:28] Foxnet: If they are blinking, you are seeing a kernel panic. If they dont blink, you dont :) [12:29] ikonia Well playonlinux has installed, so hopefully I don't have any more dep chain problems and hopefully my system boots next time. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it a ton. [12:29] grar: you fixed it yourself, so thank yourself [12:29] Thanks for the info bekks, I didn't know that. [12:29] Foxnet: if they blink its broken. so there is something going really bad. named "kernel panic" [12:30] how to add a new standard user from cli ? [12:31] hemlis, adduser [12:31] hemlis, well, sudo adduser [12:32] cfhowlett: would it give all the standard permission only ? [12:32] or would it create an admin account ? [12:32] hemlis, man adduser will tell you all [12:32] cfhowlett: ok thanks [12:33] I have a number of users using outlook for their email service [12:33] outlook ? [12:33] can I create a local email address where emails would arrive to? [12:33] on ubuntu ? [12:34] no not on ubuntu [12:34] I dont care what others use [12:34] ok, so this channel is for ubuntu support [12:34] I need one independent email account on ubuntu [12:34] simething like admin@mycompaby.com [12:34] White_Cat: ubuntu doesn't impact your email account [12:34] I know that === motaka2__ is now known as motaka2 [12:34] your email account is held at your domain [12:34] I am asking for the best practice to set this up [12:35] setup what ? [12:35] basically I want existing emails to be delivered to outlook while newly created one(s) to the ubuntu server [12:35] hello all i have a problem..when i try to update my os and software from the ubuntu auto update client i get an error that there is not enough freee space in the boot dir and that i should delete some contents to make free space...but in the boot dir i don't know what i should delete...it has varius files named generic..could somebody give me a solution? [12:35] existing emails won't get delivered.... [12:35] explosive: as they have already been delivered [12:35] oops [12:36] White_Cat: you're not making sense [12:36] I dont think you are understanding me [12:36] White_Cat: existing emails will already be delivered, [12:36] I have some people using outlook [12:36] White_Cat: outlook is just a mail client, [12:36] got that? [12:36] they have their own world. and I dont care about that [12:36] I understand you have people using outlook mail client on a non-ubuntu platform [12:36] Yeah [12:36] White_cat: you could setup ubuntu as a mail relay which thren forwards the old emails to exchange server. [12:36] KobiDrifter: it won't forward old emails [12:37] KobiDrifter: it doesn't know about old emails [12:37] they have already been delivered [12:37] I dont care about old emails [12:37] kotel: please put a "ls -al /boot" into a pastebin please [12:37] Meant old email addresses [12:37] Is outlook talking native exchange or imap? [12:37] is it possible to set it up so that part of the emails are delivered to outlook while select others are delivered to the ubuntu server? [12:37] I managed to install finnish language after apt-get update, thank you! [12:38] how do you know it's even talking to exchange ??? [12:38] well it handles calendars and such [12:38] its the web service [12:38] as in outlook.com [12:38] White_Cat: you'd need secondary MX routing, which is not trivial [12:38] not the outlook program [12:38] White_Cat: Either exchange handles all mails for that domain, or it doesnt. [12:38] hmm [12:38] http://pastebin.com/ukWtbJjD here you are mate [12:38] I feared as much [12:38] Thats hosted not a Local client so you have no control [12:39] White_Cat: And you cannot make outlook.com deliver mails to your own mailserver acting as outlook.com. You dont own outlook.com [12:39] bekks, not yet ;) [12:39] kotel: ok so you have 4 kernel installed. you can remove at least 2 of them (the old ones) if you remove the kernel packages with apt-get [12:39] White_Cat: It never will :P [12:40] what? you are saying I cant own microsoft in the near future? What is this sorcery :D [12:40] Agree with bekks will never happen. Need to have local server for this level of control [12:40] kotel: so go with "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.........." you need to fill the .... with the actually package name you can let fullfill with the tab key === sjefskoder is now known as Guest50011 [12:40] KobiDrifter: No. He needs to own that domain. That will never happen. :) [12:40] so one possibility is having all mail arrive locally and then be forwarded to outlook.com? [12:40] bekks no I own the company.com domain [12:41] Why dont u just get ubuntu clients to talk to outlook.com via imap. [12:41] well not me but you get the idea [12:41] White_Cat: But you dont own outlook.com [12:41] user@company.com is delivered to outlook.com [12:41] White_Cat: Then where's the problem? [12:41] so I have like 10 user@company.com emails that are delivered to outlook.com [12:42] I want to create 2-3 of them that would be delivered to my local ubuntu server [12:42] I have never done anything like this so I am unsure if it can be done :/ === Caroga_afk is now known as Caroga [12:42] Nope because it is not locL [12:42] White_Cat: it's not going to work [12:42] White_Cat: I guess the outlook.com setup is that all company mails for al accounts are delivered to the outlook.com servers? [12:42] kotel: support please only in here [12:43] yeah but they are all user@company.com [12:43] kotel: dont delete stuff manually. remove the kernel packages so the system gets not spoiled [12:43] Jusy checked and you can talk to imap-mail.outlook.com with fetchmail [12:43] White_Cat: And outlook.com works the way that you cant specify "usera should be on outlook.com, but userb should be elsewhere". [12:43] kotel: see my message where i explained how you can remove old kernels [12:44] hmm okay [12:44] White_Cat: So the answer is a clear no. You have to deliver all mails to outlook.com, and you can then use fetchmail to fetch them to your local server. [12:44] But it sounds like white_cat needs to understand how SMTP works. [12:44] bekks any new account on outlook.com costs money [12:44] locally it would be free [12:44] White_Cat: its not gonna happen [12:45] * KobiDrifter nods [12:45] White_Cat: And? [12:45] White_Cat: you keep trying to ask the same question in different ways, the answer is always going to be no [12:45] yes [12:45] White_Cat: Thats how they earn money. They arent the Red Cross :) [12:45] bekks red cross also earns money [12:45] White_Cat: Red Cross doesnt charge your for helping you ;) [12:46] this has moved away from anything ubuntu related, so I think we should end it [12:46] bekks they charge 0$ :p [12:46] well yes [12:46] White_Cat: If you dont want to pay outlook.com, setup your own mailserver for company.com and quit the usage of outlook.com [12:46] White_Cat: you have your answer, your stuck with outlook.com unless you change your provider [12:46] Heres a suggestion, what about a subdomain for those users? I did this for a support team obcr. [12:46] Once [12:46] @k1l_ so to delete the two old kernels i have to sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic + linux-image-3.13.0-37-generic? [12:46] right? [12:46] like user@subdomain.mycompany.com? [12:47] Yep [12:47] brilliant [12:47] that would do the trick [12:47] If ur in control of the dns you can setup different MX records. [12:47] White_Cat: do you control the companies DNS ? [12:47] kotel: yes. you can remove the + and it will delete both packages at once [12:48] I specifically keep dns away from our mail providers so we can stay in control ;-) [12:48] White_Cat: You'd still have to setup your own mailserver - and then it would be easy to migrate the 7 remaining users as well, which would safe you from administering different subdomains dor your users. [12:49] kotel: and you can remove the linux-headers-.... files ,too [12:54] bekks, My system just froze and the numlock led didn't blink so it is not a kernel panic. Any idea what might have cause these freezes? === user22 is now known as userhtp222 [12:55] is gufw is a good gui for Firewall ? [12:56] hemlis, What IS "good"? How do you define "good"?

After installing nvidia driver, I met three problems. if I use only the builtin monitor, everything works fine. but with external monitors: 1, my VGA can not rotate anymore. it works with intel driver before. 2, my UGA (displaylink usb graphic adapter) is no longer listed in xrandr -q output. By running its own test programm "make check", the test passes fine and monitor shows test images. 3 [13:58] , I can not setup mulitple monitors in nvidia-settings, because it only shows X Screen 0 instead of LVDS/VGA etc... [14:00] PS: I can enable VGA by xrandr command instead of using nvidia-settings. [14:00] Could some one tell me how to adjust brightness of my screen in ubuntu [14:00] ubuntu 14.04 [14:01] laptop function keys are not usefull [14:04] actually, there is 4th problem. the fonts become too small to be read. but that is fine for now, compared to the last 3 issues. === vyn is now known as Guest16215 [14:10] <_RadioHead> can i install ubuntu in usb stick?

[14:24] Hello people I don't know where exactly to report this, I have a strong feeling this is a X.org bug. Please take a look at this: http://pastebin.com/DK3vLFcM (near line 828) [14:25] maybe a fglrx bug or I screwed something up (?). Those are from xdiagnose btw [14:25] fa7ad: why is line 80 of interest to you ? [14:25] why does this show an Xorg bug ? [14:25] ikonia: 828 not 80 [14:25] ubuntu server 14.10 is beta or stable? [14:26] White_Cat: stable [14:26] fa7ad: thats fine, thats just the lack of systemd [14:26] thats nothing to do with xorg [14:26] Hmm I just used sudo apt-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade [14:26] and ? [14:26] and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to update my ubuntu from 14.04 [14:26] it didnt do that I think [14:27] White_Cat: thats not how you upgrade [14:27] its just 14.04.1 [14:27] oh? sorry I am new ot this [14:27] White_Cat: I suggest you don't upgrade, I suggest you learn the basics of how the system works [14:27] rather than focusing on upgrades [14:27] the thing is I have 5 vps and one is 14.10 for whatever the reason [14:28] I'd rather have all of them on the same version [14:28] then logically you should re-install the 14.10 one to 14.04 [14:28] ikonia: yesterday i was unable to use my built in keyboard (due to my last apt upgrade). it got fixed after I ran apt upgrade today (in the morning). i noticed xorg being upgraded, maybe the problem was related to xorg? [14:28] fa7ad: a keyboard problem in X could be an xorg problem, [14:30] ikonia um not really [14:30] I dont enjoy loosing data :) [14:30] White_Cat: why not really ? [14:30] White_Cat: then back it up [14:30] I just want to upgrade to 14.10 [14:31] why ? [14:31] any reason why I shouldnt? [14:31] yes, because it's not an LTS release [14:31] ah [14:31] and if you're running 5 VPS (why 5 if you're new to this?) you don't want to be in a position of 9 months of support [14:31] well, why didnt you say so :) [14:31] White_Cat trrust me on this one trusty is far more stable than utopic. I'm on utopic and i kinda miss trusty [14:32] 5 vps because they are dirt cheap and each one is to test something else [14:33] White_Cat, I run a huge vps and test hundreds of projects on it, running 14.04. So far suits me fine. but hey to each his own [14:33] I have 5 independent systems in the real world [14:34] each with their archeic settings [14:34] White_cat: okay then :) [14:34] :d [14:34] I have the option on testing on the live production system or vpn [14:34] I chose vpn :p [14:34] you mean vps [14:34] also [14:34] ah yes [14:35] White_cat: offtopic channel ? [14:35] any sane person goes LTS for anything important [14:35] fa7ad fine, I got my answer [14:35] I was mainly answering your inquery [14:36] White_cat: no i wanna discuss more on this on the other channel :) [14:37] How can I force de/video0 to show my desktop instead of webcam ? [14:37] lustic: depends on the app you are using [14:38] Well Im trying to steam my desktop on a website/videochatroom, it only gives me the option to choose my webcam which is dev/video0 [14:38] lustic: so what do you want to stream it ? [14:39] I mean, I can stream my desktop with vlc and such, but this website uses flash player which only allows me to choose my "hp true vision" webcam [14:39] lustic: so what do you want us to do ? [14:40] give me advice on how to do it ? [14:40] it's going to be locked to what flash is doing [14:41] hmmm... On blasted windows you could use something like manycam, then flash would let me choose between manycam or my webcam, and manycam would let me show either my desktop or my webcam, but I cannot figure out how to do this on linux [14:42] irc://irc.420-hightimes.com/movies [14:42] What's wrong with Adobe's flash plugin?

I am using Xubuntu 14.10 (though I installed it from standard Ubuntu) with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

[14:52] xangua: i see the error when you actively run into sites that check the version - it's an issue I believe that has become a lot more recent [14:53] Yes I did xangua [14:53] Actually, that was the first thing I did immediately when I saw the warning message [14:53] teward: what sites¿ I have the plugin as always active but don't really see flash videos or anything with flash [14:54] xangua: been a while since i tested - I use Chrome almost exclusively now [14:54] And the update from the Firefox itself says that the current version of the installed flash plugin is ok [14:54] since pepperflash [14:54] Im on ubuntu server, I got a mobile nvidia graphics card and an embedded intel card, do I want bumblebee ?

[15:18] *or [15:18] ohh [15:18] venicci_: 'minimum' vs 'recommended', but... even then thats no guarantee - for low spec systems Xubuntu (XFCE) or Lubuntu (LXDE) are a little better, in my opinion [15:19] teward: Allrighty then, I will try anything :) [15:19] ssh -X your.remote.host the_cmd_to_execute [15:19] Skyrider: -X enables X forwarding - -x disables it [15:20] Ahhhh [15:20] I see [15:20] venicci_: just as teward said, go with xubuntu or lubuntu. the former is a bit more convenient for the average user. a fresh install would be best... if that's complicated for you, you can install the package xubuntu-desktop (or lubuntu-desktop). [15:21] parmiggiano: downloading it now. one other question... how do I create a boot usb stick in linux... (I'm in mint now on my desktop) [15:22] venicci, unetbootin [15:22] venicci_ install and use unetbootin [15:22] ah thank you all :) [15:23] venicci, happy2help [15:27] the icons on my desktop as I move to leave them as I put them?

[15:30] ya [15:30] which the site where to see the pictures? [15:31] Well this sucks.. === ubuntu is now known as Guest39492 [15:33] Skyrider: without more information it is pretty hard to know what is going on. What happens if you press and hold and then press ? === Guest39492 is now known as Ubuntu-user32 [15:33] Skyrider: If you see a login promt, then it is only problems with X [15:34] Mmhh [15:34] Tried using those key combinations.. nothing is happening [15:34] I dislike that Ubuntu is not more verbose by default [15:35] zdar [15:36] sorry that I can't be more specific.

[15:41] elichai2: hey [15:42] Hey [15:42] I'm just continue working on my laptop :/ [15:42] Looking for more ideas [15:43] elichai2: ok, cool [15:44] odd... [15:44] now it appears to work? .. [15:44] What do you say about coping the working Ubuntu from my HDD to the SSD and then puting symlinks in the HDD? [15:45] and when I close the laptop.. [15:45] and open it again, screen stays black. [15:45] I see a few error messages disappearing within a second before the splash screen. [15:45] When I enter safe mode, screen seems to work.. but displays a error that needs to be submitted. [15:45] Something about header and kernel? [15:46] i installed skype on ubuntu 12.04 and it didn't log into the internet, always giving me that unable to log into the internet [15:47] elichai2: didn't you install last time? [15:47] elichai2: it wasn't booting the ssd drive in uefi mode right? [15:47] I assume this is ATI driver related?.. [15:47] Before the update, nothing was wrong... [15:47] Nooe [15:47] everything was working perfectly. [15:47] And not from legacy either [15:48] And I even tried using a /boot/EFI partition on my old hdd [15:51] elichai2: after you setup the efi on the hdd [15:52] elichai2: did you boot a live usb, chroot and install the grub package? [15:52] I have both intel and nvidia cards in my laptop. Before installing nvidia driver, it uses intel driver. after installing nvidia driver, it uses nvidia. They all have some problems. How can I use the open source Nouveau driver? [15:53] EriC^^ I runed 'grub-install: [15:53] elichai2: on the hdd> [15:54] ? [15:54] what happened when you booted? [15:54] I mounted the SSD and the HDD boot partition [15:54] Got grub minimal instalation [15:54] *minimal shell [15:55] elichai2: ok [15:55] elichai2: could you see the sdd from there> [15:55] I think not [16:03] elichai2: i think you should give it a shot again [16:03] Give what a shot? [16:03] elichai2: install the grub package after you mount /boot/efi , so it installs the necessary files in the efi partition [16:03] efi on hdd [16:04] Mount both SSD and /boot/EFI, right? [16:04] yeah [16:04] OK, although I'm thinking that my bios has some problems reading the SSD itself [16:04] well i think so [16:04] (I checked and there are no badblocks) [16:04] but you booted grub [16:04] so it might be able to see the ssd [16:04] Yeah, but grub on the HDD /boot [16:05] since it loads the gpt and msdos modules [16:05] yes grub might see it [16:05] And I think I installed the grub on the hdd [16:10] hi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9500234/ in xrandr output, my "Screen 0" is incorrect. it should be 3000 (1920 + 1080) instead of 3840 (11920*2) because I rotate VGA1 left. how to fix the Screen 0 value? thanks. [16:10] EriC^^: now i'm connected from the live usb [16:10] ko [16:10] so first i'll format my SSD and reinstall Ubuntu (with /boot/efi on the HDD) [16:10] then i'll try chrooting [16:11] yeah [16:11] hello [16:11] (and we'll check all the other things (i don't even remember what you saw missing last time lol)) [16:12] ok [16:12] :D [16:12] let's hope for good :) [16:14] EriC^^: "Device for boot loader installtion" = HDD or SSD?

[16:19] Ssh and tmux is awesome sharing screen.😁 [16:20] elichai2: nope, you need gpt with efi [16:20] ohh, ok [16:20] and i must have /boot/efi partition? (maybe i'll try without one...)

[17:41] X is the display server [17:42] ikonia, how to use x failsafe? [17:42] keithclark: normally a boot menu option [17:42] ikonia, I get no boot menu [17:42] keithclark: you can also just move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to your home directory and let ubuntu detect it [17:42] which should fall back for you [17:43] What VC you have? vrsion? [17:44] there is a compatibility list for nvidia cards somewhere with the linux (nvidia) drivers [17:45] and howtos are included [17:47] ikonia, ok, booting into failsafe mode, but now a menu appears. Run in low graphics, reconfigure graphics,troubleshoot, exit to console. What should I try?

[17:53] ikonia, 'Filed to initialize the nvidia kernel module. please see the system's kernel....' [17:53] it will be hosted on my business server. [17:53] keithclark: ok - so if you do "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" do you get any results [17:54] I need Phalcon PHP, and Java Server [17:54] to suppoer multiple web sites [17:54] support [17:54] HikaruBG: so this is basic stuff, however things like a git server should not be setup without understanding it, if you want your code to be trusted/true [17:54] "java server" what is "java server" ? [17:54] ikonia, nothing [17:54] keithclark: ok, so there is your problem [17:55] keithclark: the nvidia kernel module is not loaded [17:55] keithclark: "sudo modprobe nvidia" [17:55] keithclark: what happens [17:55] ikonia, nothing [17:55] HikaruBG: A VPS implies remote hosting, it makes a big difference what provider you're using. [17:55] keithclark: no do "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" again, do you get any results [17:55] ikonia, nothing [17:56] keithclark: ok, so can you do "uname -a" and please show me the output [17:56] modprobe has a verbose option.

[17:58] !nvidia [17:58] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [17:58] keithclark: ok do "sudo insmod nvidia" what output do you get [17:59] hi, http://hastebin.com/aleqacavif.vbs in xrandr output, my "Screen 0" width is incorrect. it should be 3000 (1920 + 1080) instead of 3840 (1920*2) because I rotate VGA1 left. how to fix the Screen 0 width value? thanks. [17:59] ikonia, could not load module nvidia: No such file.... [17:59] keithclark: so it looks like you don't have the nvidia module installed [18:00] keithclark: I would suggest following the guide jhutchins just linked to, to get them installed [18:00] ikonia: again, use the -v option so insmod/modprobe show what they're (not) doing.

[18:09] keithclark: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of that directory and reboot and you'll get a basic Vesa drive desktop [18:09] keithclark: then you can use the gui tools [18:10] anyone has ppd for CanonLBP2900B ? [18:10] ikonia, there is no X11 directory [18:10] keithclark: /etc/X11 [18:10] Hello all thanks for the tips. It worked, I have succesfully installed lubuntu and am now on my laptop! [18:10] There is no /etc/X11 directory [18:10] Problem occurred..: I cannot get my wireless to work (eventhough I have the drivers) [18:11] ikonia, oh wait === liquid is now known as VoidMainFunction [18:12] ikonia, there is no file xorg.conf. There are a few xorg.conf.xxxx [18:12] keithclark that seems unlikley if you have ever used the nvidia packages, there should be an xorg.conf [18:13] ikonia, I don't know what to say. It is not there [18:13] keithclark: what are the names of the xorg files that are there === christmascookie is now known as sireedweeb [18:14] ikonia, xorg.cong.04302014 xorg.conf.backup xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.cong.dist-upgrade-xxxxx [18:14] Like that [18:14] keithclark: copy xorg.cong.04302014 to xorg.conf and lets use that as a template [18:14] I cannot get my wireless to work on my laptop, any ideas? [18:15] ikonia, done [18:15] keithclark: open that file in a text editor you are happy to use [18:15] ikonia, done [18:16] keithclark: there should be a line in there that says "Driver" "Nvidia" [18:16] keithclark: find that line [18:16] ikonia, found [18:17] keithclark: replace the word Nvidia with vesa [18:17] ikonia, case sensitive? [18:17] keithclark: `use lowercase, but it really shouldn't matter [18:18] ikonia, done [18:18] keithclark: save the file and reboot [18:18] ikonia, rebooting [18:18] keithclark: to confirm the file should be saved as xorg.conf [18:20] ikonia, It was saved as xorg.conf [18:20] keithclark: perfect [18:21] ikonia, hmm, just a black screen [18:21] keithclark: give it a minute [18:21] ikonia, (biting nails and waiting.) [18:23] ikonia, nope, no hd activity and just black screen [18:23] keithclark: that suggests to me your problem is before X [18:23] !nomodeset | keithclark [18:23] keithclark: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [18:24] ikonia, I am so tempted to just throw this machine in the bin and go buy a new one. [18:26] ikonia, how to do those changes when I have a black screen??? [18:26] keithclark: you boot into the recovery shell [18:26] Any good commercial books to learn Bash scripting?

[18:29] !tell venicci about wifi [18:29] venicci, please see my private message [18:30] ikonia, ok, trying to reboot yet again. [18:30] ah, so even with installed drivers and trying the fwcutter thingy and it not working... I should not look here for help? [18:31] ikonia, black screen yet again [18:35] ikonia, I guess this machine is done, yes? [18:37] where are the 256 colors for 256 color xterm specified? I know that 16 of the colors are specified in Xresources, but i cant find the location for the rest... ? [18:40] ikonia, I can boot into a live usb stick if this helps any [18:47] HZun: for code in {0..255}; do echo -e "\e[38;05;${code}m $code: test"; done [18:48] ikonia, is there any way to install another version of ubuntu to help the repair? [18:49] HZun: showrgb [18:50] ikonia, or how can I get my data out and restore this machine? I guess I could just by a new machine with Wjndows and be done with all this crap [18:54] ikonia, ok, no worries, I've decided to just scrap this machine and buy a new Windows machine. I've never encountered video drivers in those machines before like this one. [18:55] keithclark: might want to try booting from a previous kernel (if you upgraded to a newer one) from the grub boot menu to see if there is a potential problem with an updated kernel. also try renaming the xorg.conf to something else and reboot (could also try nomodeset again) just a thought.... [18:56] thanks squinty but I tried that stuff. I just lost tax data from three years as well. I hope my backups work! [18:57] keithclark: hey! take it easy, your data still there, you can get it back using a live usb or cd [18:57] keithclark: to backup data, my first thought is always to boot from a live Linux on a flash dirve. [18:58] though, hoepfully you didin't buy a peice of crap that doesn't boot from USB (windows store hint) [18:58] or i think i've seen dell machines that don't bakc up from usb too [18:58] *boot from [18:58] plop boot manager for non usb booting machines [18:59] what is plop? [18:59] parsnip: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html [19:00] can you install that on the most stubborn machines? [19:00] because i'm talking about machines that the BIOS would not take priority [19:01] parsnip: cd or dvd use that to boot which will give usb boot selection as one of it's options === JR is now known as Guest69235 [19:02] ok. cd or dvd should always work? [19:03] parsnip: only one way to find out for sure. has worked for me over the years ok [19:04] okay, will try it out next time i encounter such a horrible machine as won't boot to usb even after BIOS is informed as such. [19:05] i am getting private spam from Guest38472 re: #cooldude how to report [19:05] or block [19:06] I have a strange behaviour on 14.04 whenever the latest kernel update arrives I get the error that my drive cannot be found [19:06] !ops Guest38472 spamming [19:06] squinty: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:06] :o [19:06] this is the error message ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to a shell initramfs [19:07] I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2241460 but that didn't solve the issue either [19:08] parsnip: you are not alone I get the same spammer [19:08] como entro a un canal hispano?

[19:12] oops, sorry about that* accidentally hit return [19:12] paulus68: encryped file system a factor ? Did you (RE-)install grub per the referenced thread ? [19:12] What is this simple, minimalistic weather widget (icon)? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WaImAo_w9Ss/U7Uj0zlXsoI/AAAAAAAATac/t5AfECTc5Ng/s1600/xubuntu1404-dropbox-thunar.png [19:12] I checked all the terminals with ctrl-alt-f1 through f12 and none of those seemed to get me back [19:12] colmack: try Ctrl-Alt-F# where # culd be a numbre and 7 it is by defaul a grafical interface [19:13] colmack: just a heads up, using a non-LTS release for a server is a pretty bad move [19:13] Bashing-om: no encrypted file system and did reinstall grub but no such luck during install of 14.04 I get kernel version ending with .24 (don't recall the complete kernel version [19:14] Bashing-om: however when I upgrade to a more recent version it generates this error message [19:14] @Chuck Norris - I tried all of the Ctrl-Alt-F#s with no luck. Since it's a server install, there's no GUI to revert to on F7. [19:14] paulus68: Can you boot to the grub boot menu, and from there boot to a terminal ( edit the boot parameter line) ? [19:15] Bashing-om: at this point busy again to reinstall ubuntu and see if my external drives are causing a problem [19:15] Hi. I wonder if I can unplug my USB memory stick after the installation has started? I assume that everything is loaded into RAM or am I wrong? Thanks [19:15] @daftykins it's just a personal minecraft server so not too concerned with long term support. no important data on here. [19:15] paulus68: Roger, we await the outcome. Here to assist. [19:15] colmack: then maybe the installer finish its job [19:16] colmack: righty-o, you'll still get to upgrade fun [19:16] Bashing-om: also checked the drives for failes none found( both HD's are SSD's [19:16] Node_302, no, it still will need all files that should be copied on the HDD. [19:16] Bashing-om: failures [19:17] *Node_032 [19:17] Hi Folks. Is there a terminal command or program I can download with functions similar to Ccleaner? [19:17] paulus68: Good, always a good thing to check the drive's health on occassion . [19:17] Whats "ccleaner"? [19:17] a windows program [19:17] bekks: a windows program that's able to clean registry and a lot of other stuff [19:18] I dont think people not using Windows actually know it :) [19:18] Dak: bleachbit in repo's [19:18] paulus68: There is no registry in Ubuntu :) [19:18] Thanks Squinty [19:18] bekks: I know that but you asked what it was so I explained [19:18] userings, thanks for the help. [19:19] bekks: ubuntu tweaks might do the trick I Guess [19:19] Chuck_Norris: looks like you were right - I waited until HD activity was done and rebooted the machine and it seems to have finished and all is well. thanks for the help! [19:19] chat to irc is the best [19:19] colmack: np [19:20] paulus68: for doing what? [19:20] bekks: cleanup [19:21] paulus68: Cleanup of what? [19:21] Dak: just a note, ubuntu is not like windows, i meant, those kind of software aren't needed in ubuntu, i meant, your distro will keep performing at the same speed [19:21] bekks: unused packages remove old kernel versions to name a couple [19:21] paulus68: thats what apt-get is for. [19:23] Chuck_Norris: I'm mainly concerned about cookies and other such internet history gremlins that allow advertising profiles to be built.

[19:26] Bashing-om: running the first series of updates [19:26] paulus68: K. just need to know when done, and the result when install completes . [19:27] Bashing-om: sorry double however I'm running a seperate homedrive can that cause a problem by any chance [19:27] paulus68: Not if you told the installer ( something else) where /home is . [19:28] Bashing-om: I mean that ubuntu is storing data on the seperate homedrive when installing updates [19:29] Bashing-om: I know that for example firefox has an hidden config folder that stores the most important data can this be the case when upgrading the kernels? [19:29] paulus68: All depends on what you told the installer, and if what you said is the truth . [19:30] It appears a recent update broke my nvidia drivers. My screen resolution is fixed at something around 600x400, and I keep getting system error reports that something with nvidia-uvm is broken. I tried reinstalling nvidia-current to no avail. [19:30] Bashing-om: I instructed the installer to connect to my second sdd and call it /home [19:32] Bashing-om: and I'm not here to lie about the problem that I'm encountering now I try to solve it :) [19:32] paulus68: And /home does exist on that 2nd SSD drive ? Should have been set up prior to the (RE-)install . [19:32] I usually use xfce, but when I switched to my unity desktop nothing happened when I logged in. [19:33] I don't know of any way to change my screen resolution, or what's wrong. [19:33] Bashing-om: was an existing homedrive that was there prior to the reinstall [19:33] My graphics card is doing **something**, as my monitor is plugged into it directly. [19:33] (using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti) [19:33] paulus68: Should be good to go . I expect no problems . [19:33] Bashing-om: rebooting to kernel version 3.13.0-43 [19:34] I was not experiencing problems before the recent kernel update. [19:34] I tried reinstalling the old linux-headers and linux-headers-generic packages, but I got an error. [19:35] High-rise_9999: are you using xfce ? [19:35] paulus68: That is the latest kernel -> sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-43-generic . Looking good ! [19:35] Chuck_Norris: yes [19:35] Chuck_Norris: I installed the xubuntu-desktop package a few weeks ago. [19:36] I cant get virtual box guest additions to work in my ubuntu VM. Has anyone else run into this problem ? [19:36] High-rise_9999: swith to a TTY [19:37] rawfodog: what have you done? the ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run ? [19:37] High-rise_9999: you still using lightdm right? [19:37] Bashing-om: sofar so good but did everything without use of external HD's [19:37] SchrodingersScat, yes [19:37] Chuck_Norris: yes [19:37] hi!! [19:37] Quick question: Windows share drive's I navigate too via Caja and bookmark have a write to speed of about 60MB/s. Drives mounted with CIFS in my fstab only write at about 10MB/s. What can I do to bring fstab mounted shares write speeds up? [19:37] Ive installed the build essentials and linux headers, but when I restart it still doesnt fit my host resolution correctly. [19:37] i have a meeting about free software at https://plus.google.com/events/cdctm6gr9s2fe2jplajaqal36uk [19:38] Chuck_Norris: hold on for a minute, going to install irssi and switch into tty [19:38] High-rise_9999: ok [19:38] hey all, is there any way to keep ubuntu from installing nvidia drivers that are unsupported by my card? [19:38] anyone do any embroidery digitizing with linux? [19:39] paulus68: External hard drives will not be a factor . Other systems are in place to pick up external hard drives . [19:39] rawfodog: I just had a kernel update, I only ran that and restarted, then it was back to normal :? [19:39] I would like to know if it's feasible to use free Microsoft Natural Voices SAPi in Linux. [19:40] julianvb: Thats a Windows API, isnt it? [19:40] Chuck_Norris: okay, in tty [19:40] SchrodingersScat, it's the latest version of ubuntu, 14 [19:41] Maybe I should try ubuntu 13 [19:41] rawfodog: No, you shouldnt. Ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 are out of support already. [19:42] Yes. I thought perhaaps one could use it via Wine. This is just a random thought on my part. [19:43] High-rise_9999__: move nvidia's .run installer into your home folder === gian is now known as Guest73022 [19:43] I dont get it. Im using the same version of vbox and ubuntu as everyone else. [19:44] Chuck_Norris: I'm not sure I have that. I installed the drivers from atp [19:44] Chuck_Norris: i.e. nvidia-current [19:45] <_rad> hi, i have setup a bunch of laptops for family and friends and installed xubuntu. I was wondering how I can start a program either on startup or when a specific program has been clicked? [19:47] High-rise_9999__: well, let try nvidia's binary, are you agreed? [19:48] Chuck_Norris: Sure. I presume I need to uninstall the atp one? [19:49] High-rise_9999__: well, but you just said that you tried to reinstall it and nothing happend, so, that's why i would try the binary [19:49] brb [19:51] High-rise_9999__: sry brotha, a friend just come, i will be back in... who knows [19:54] rawfodog: fwiw, there is a virtualbox channel (#vbox) here on freenode. iirc, the extension pack needs to be installed for setting screen resolutions....might want to double check that in #vbox though [19:54] thanks squinty ! [19:58] Hi. When Ubuntu One shut down we were promised the server code as per http://blog.canonical.com/2014/04/02/shutting-down-ubuntu-one-file-services/ . Any news on the release?

[20:27] Bye [20:27] hi, how do I unzip multipart archives using unzip command? I have a folder with files like "legaly.downloaded.movie.r00 legaly.downloaded.movie.r01 legaly.downloaded.movie.r02" [20:28] on windows I just right click one of the files and click "extract here" and it will extract from all the files [20:31] i’m on a mac, ssh’d into terminal — any options for the meta key [20:31] abaday: you install unrar or something, then open the *first* file [20:31] halpme: most cameras support UVC these days which should work fine. just look online for hardware compatibility. [20:33] daftykins: aha not unzip [20:33] thanks === ian is now known as Guest36006 [20:39] Hi :) I installed freeglut, If I want to compile a program using this library where are the .h files stored? and the .o files?

[20:42] Seveas, ? [20:42] i was simply trying to point out the ludacriousness of the request btw [20:42] dougiel: we mean keep the comments to yourself [20:42] (sp?) [20:42] dougiel: you're behaving like a jackass, try behaving like a human. [20:43] beg to differ my gf rather a mac... but if no one cares that is fine, no need to call names or profanity PG please :) [20:44] nothing wrong with osx or girls [20:44] you're all off topic, take it elsewhere [20:44] Afternoon folks [20:44] nothing wrong with osx or girls or ubuntu* [20:45] daftykins: :) [20:45] hello agent_white, what can we help you with? [20:46] I am failing hard in SFTP-land… I don’t understand why I can log in to my Ubuntu box even when i’ve removed vsftpd completely from the system? [20:46] Seveas: Nothin! Here to listen in and help where I can. [20:47] So I am a member of my mom's quilting club and was wondering if anyone has any experience with digitizing images for use with embroidery machines under linux? [20:48] agent_white, you never asked for help? [20:48] oh I see nm [20:49] dougiel: just scanning them isn't enough? [20:49] Nope! [20:50] Seveas, no... there is some software that turns them into one of 3 different file formats that the embroidery machine can use to stich the pattern [20:50] depending on your machine === ubuntu is now known as Guest30786 [20:51] Why can I remotely SFTP in to my home folder, even after purge remove vsftpd? [20:52] kongle_: is it still running? [20:52] service --status-all === arjun is now known as Guest55053 [20:53] nope... [20:53] kongle_: try pkill vsftp [20:54] dougiel: some quick googling turned up http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/embroidery-design-on-linux-now-possible-with-thred and https://userbase.kde.org/KXStitch [20:55] kongle_: vsftpd does ftp. sftp isn't ftp, but an ssh channel. [20:55] EriC^^: Still able to authenticate and download files… [20:56] Seveas: SSH File Transfer Protocol [20:56] join #i3 [20:56] kongle_: exactly. SSH. [20:57] Seveas, thanks - I found thred32 and kxstich looks promising got no browser at the moment but I am on my way [20:57] So… I can log in since SSH is enabled and working? Dammit. Thanks, though! :) [20:57] kongle_: you can disable sftp :) [20:58] kongle_: comment out the Subsystem sftp line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to do so [20:58] If it’s secure-ish, I’ll keep it enabled. However, I would like to access another path by default (not home, but a mounted md0). Any pointers? [20:59] kongle_: yeah you browse to it... [20:59] (to where it's mounted) [21:00] kongle_: man sftp-server, search for the -d option. I think you need to add that to the sftp line in sshd_config but never tried this. === Guest45172 is now known as vahl [21:00] shit, I can dir backwards from /home/ ? This is very… open.. Sorry for being such a newb [21:00] is there a terminal command that shows all the uri’s that apache httpd is ready to service with a virtual host? [21:00] kongle_: do not use non-family-friendly language in here please. [21:01] kongle_: it's as open as ssh. Both can be made less 'open' with chroot options. [21:01] kongle_: it's only as open as knowing your username and password. [21:01] kongle_: if you're trying to set up some kind of shared file access system, you're going about it the wrong way [21:01] bonhoeffer: no, as that can be an intractable problem [21:01] hi. I wanted to play music from phone to pc via bluetooth. I found something online with d-feet and executing connect on audiosource in d-feet. then the the phone comes up in sound manager preference input. is there a more user friendly way to do that ? i mean instead of using d-feet [21:01] I'm looking for NFC applications for ubuntu (like I have for Android) to read and write NFC tags. All I seem to be able to find are libraries and python scripts. Are there any good GUI applications I can use? [21:02] daftykins: Ok. Thanks. [21:02] Seveas: apachectl fullstatus gets close [21:02] bonhoeffer: not at all. [21:02] Seveas: Ok, thanks. I’ll check the conf [21:02] for me it is working well, sorry it doesn’t help you [21:03] daftykins: I’m trying to set up a secure way to upload files to my home Ubuntu desktop [21:05] kongle_: for what users from where? [21:05] wtf just happened to nvidia-driver. I updated stuffs, rebooted, now nvidia-driver stopped working. [21:05] For me, from WAN (using noip, already set up for LAMP) [21:06] Evening guys. Anyone around to possibly lend me a ladder to dig myself out from a huge hole? [21:06] daftykins: For me, from WAN (using noip, already set up for LAMP) [21:06] kongle_: ok, so configure SSHd to run on a non-standard port #, forward it... have a decent password or look into key auth... then also consider installing fail2ban to firewall out repeated access attempts. [21:06] Alright ao whe I type really quickly this should sort [21:06] are there any NFC frontend Linux applications? [21:06] Is this a thing? nvidia not working all of a sudden? are there details? anything? [21:07] MrSassyPants: if you installed it by downloading manually from the nvidia site then this is kinda your own fault [21:07] daftykins, well, good thing I did not [21:07] MrSassyPants: official repo package version then huh? good stuff. so, what's going wrong? looked at the relevant logs? [21:08] Seveas: but apache2ctl -S is exactly what i wanted [21:08] I have Ubuntu installed, using the Kubuntu desktop. I switched from using lightdm to kdm today, and all unholy hell has broken loose. My desktop is all over the place - and all of my windows in plasma are so squashed I can't read them. I have more artifacts on my display than the Smithsonian. Help :) [21:08] daftykins: Ok, thanks. I’ll look into that. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Cheers [21:08] daftykins, just rebooted. am in X, but the driver is wrong. haven't had a problem with this in so long... gimme a second I'll check the x log [21:08] MrSassyPants: pastebin it for us [21:08] !info nfctool [21:09] MrSassyPants: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [21:09] Package nfctool does not exist in utopic [21:09] (EE) NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory [21:09] MrSassyPants: sounds like it wasn't generated for your running kernel, presuming an upgrade occurred. "dpkg -l | grep nvidia" ? [21:09] (don't paste here) [21:09] daftykins, well part of the update was kernel and I remember seeing the driver pop up [21:09] yep [21:09] should've regenerated a module for it really [21:10] daftykins, loads [21:10] philuk2000, maybe this page with ppa is any help http://nfc-tools.org/index.php?title=Libnfc [21:10] daftykins, I remember the driver popping up in aptitudes log [21:10] daftykins, didn't pay close attention though [21:10] daftykins, guess that was the attempt to rebuild it after the kernel upgrade [21:10] CharlieTheCabbie: do you want to reinstall lightdm? [21:11] I have done, but I want to use KDM and with lightdm running, I can't seem to figure out what the hell is wrong with kdm [21:11] How can I change my file manager and make it default for firefox too? Do I have to use a different window manager? [21:11] I tried installing nemo and making it my default file manager but it was so much trouble [21:11] CharlieTheCabbie: what do you mean use KDM with lightdm running? [21:12] CharlieTheCabbie: you mean KDE? [21:12] OerHeks: Yes, I have installed that, I can see my nfc reader but cannot find a command to read tags [21:12] daftykins, sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver -> E: Package 'nvidia-driver' has no installation candidate [21:12] I want to use KDM as the display manager rather than lightdm [21:12] MrSassyPants: it was never called that. can you just pastebin the output of the dpkg command i asked for please. http://paste.ubuntu.com [21:12] alrigh alright [21:13] daftykins, btw it must have been called that way because it finds references [21:13] and worries about obsoletion [21:13] never seen a package with that name. [21:13] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9507042/ [21:14] MrSassyPants: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia*" wait until that's done, then "sudo apt-get clean" then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331" [21:14] (note the * at the end of my first command) [21:14] daftykins, I would have used the kde driver thingy to switch from nvidia-331 to nvidia-331-updates [21:14] daftykins, want me to do your thing for debug purposes anyways? [21:15] ok well you can use the first purge command, then use your method to pick another [21:15] CharlieTheCabbie: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [21:15] daftykins, also, its the lowlatency kernel and kubuntu, in case that matters [21:16] hi guys, I need some timer that count seconds until some date.. [21:16] That's worth a shot EriC^^ - it's been so long since I used linux, I forgot most of what I learned... [21:17] daftykins, now installing -updates thingy now via driver thingy. will be back after reboot to provide status update. [21:18] !info alarmclock | gamzera_ [21:18] gamzera_: Package alarmclock does not exist in utopic [21:18] !info alarm-clock | gamzera_ [21:18] gamzera_: alarm-clock (source: alarm-clock): Alarm Clock for GTK Environments. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.5-1.2ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 597 kB, installed size 1664 kB [21:18] MrSassyPants, daftykins, i notice that nvidia-settings is for 331.20, not for 331.38 ? [21:18] OerHeks, the -updates thing is .38 [21:19] OerHeks: 331.38 appeared to be 'rc' [21:19] daftykins, what does that mean? [21:19] removed, configured [21:19] it means the package has been removed but config is still present [21:19] ubottu: I installed alarm-clock, but I Don't have idea how to find it.. [21:19] gamzera_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:19] since you seem to have tried every version under the sun ;) [21:20] daftykins, I don't think I did. I think it just does that automagically. [21:20] gamzera_: should be in your application menu somewhere, but you can also run it with 'alarmclock' in the terminal, or launch it via that in any way you like. the difference of package name being alarm-clock and the binary being alarmclock always throws me off, as you can see above. [21:21] daftykins, what's the proper procedure? install nvidia-common and then that just has the current driver as a prereq? [21:22] hmm, the driver thingy doesn't ask me to reboot. which is unsettling. [21:22] MrSassyPants: no... what does it matter if you're using the GUI installer? :) [21:23] daftykins, I don't trust guis ._. [21:23] well, modprobe / lsmod | grep did find it [21:23] so will brb, rebooting [21:23] SchrodingersScat: this is pure.... [21:24] SchrodingersScat: I can't set it up.. [21:26] ok, works, wine'd dx9 game works too [21:26] gamzera_: should just go to 'edit' and create new alarm, or counter if you need a set time in the future, like 15 minutes, etc. [21:26] SchrodingersScat: I've done it, but I need something that is more like widget I can put on desktop. [21:27] I don't have anything to recommend then, I don't widgets :? [21:27] so daftykins, any idea what caused this? [21:28] MrSassyPants: sorry i only deal with making results - not the detective work on 'why' :) [21:29] I just think that it might be happening to a lot of people right now [21:30] MrSassyPants: that's a bold claim. === pumbaway is now known as pumba [21:31] daftykins, I didn't screw around on this system much. the list of nvidia stuff is mostly just accumulated over like 3 years [21:31] ok [21:31] and I din do nuffin [21:31] yeah alright, anyway problem resolved. i'm moving on now [21:32] hmm tho. it did install linux-generic as well as linux-lowlatency. kinda has problems with that. Maybe it built the driver for -generic, or something. [21:32] eh [21:32] it's the first time this has happend and am surprised, is all [21:32] MrSassyPants, this seems te be your bug, maybe you can confirm it, to help out? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1402022 [21:32] Launchpad bug 1402022 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) "nvidia-331-updates-uvm 331.113-0ubuntu0.1: nvidia-331-updates-uvm kernel module failed to build" [Undecided,New] [21:32] daftykins, thanks anyways [21:33] OerHeks, well I just fixed it, let me look tho [21:34] OerHeks, that is the exact kernel and driver version that I just updated to [21:34] or this one, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates/+bug/1268257 [21:34] Launchpad bug 1268257 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) "nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build, with only error: "objdump: '... .tmp_nv.o': No such file"" [High,Triaged] [21:35] MrSassyPants: nothing nvidia will install a lowlatency kernel, that's totally wrong [21:35] I didn't pay close attention to aptitudes log... it was a lot of stuff... I don't think it reported an error prominently though [21:35] daftykins, err [21:35] daftykins, I am using lowlatency right now. intentionally. [21:35] lol, are you some kinda ubuntu ricer? [21:35] daftykins, just, apt occasionally installs -generic for no reason [21:36] daftykins, totally. pre-emptible kernels ftw [21:36] * daftykins shakes his head [21:36] eh, it's an experiment that's been going on for like a month now. [21:36] you're 100% on your own now. [21:37] i have an odd problem with PAM. I need to add the following `auth required pam_exec.so expose_authtok /usr/share/lightdm/freerdp-auth [21:37] to /etc/pam.d/common-auth [21:37] MrSassyPants: one last thing though, you keep referring to aptitude when the default is apt-get. [21:37] but when I add it to the end of the file and reboot I can't login any longer. [21:37] Oddly enough the same thing works fine on an older ubuntu version 13.04. I'm currently trying to make it work on 14.04. [21:38] daftykins, eh, close enough [21:38] I had a look at the 13.04 common-auth and compared it to my 14.04 file and they are identical so I don't understand why this is happening [21:38] OerHeks, I'll install the -331 (non-updates) version and see if it fails [21:39] I've just updated Ubuntu using Ubuntu Own Update tool. And now I can't open my computer anymore. [21:40] EriC^^: Just to check - when I use dpkg-reconfigure, that will switch from lightdm to kdm - but how do I fix the display? I've tried from 640x480 to 1024x768 and all available refresh rates, but the display looks atrocious. [21:40] superherointj, did you have any nvidia-331 updates by any chance? [21:40] superherointj, is the laptop lid welded shut? or what do you mean with "can't open no more" [21:40] Imagine looking at the display through 2 crossed open venetian blinds [21:40] that's pretty similar [21:40] superherointj, also, what OerHeks asks [21:41] When Ubuntu starts. It opens the dialog "Enter password for keyring 'default'to unlock. And background is BLACK. I have a Nvidia GTX 780 Ti video card and I have its proprietary drivers installed. Im not sure it can influence it. But when I enter the password. Nothing happens. [21:41] OerHeks, mind you, I had nouveau installed so it just loaded that as a backup [21:41] Is there any text file where I can configure the display manually without using the GUI to do so? [21:41] OerHeks: yes!!!! [21:41] I mean, I know I have a nvidia video card. But I'm not sure which version driver I have. [21:41] OerHeks, we're on to something here [21:42] CharlieTheCabbie: which driver are you using? lshw -C video | grep driver [21:42] MrSassyPants, jups, as it affected me too yesterday. [21:42] OerHeks, you thought it was you? [21:42] CharlieTheCabbie: there's xrandr for setting resolutions and such, and there might be a /etc/X11/xorg.conf depending on what you're using [21:42] OerHeks, HAAA [21:43] OerHeks, confirmed! -331 doesn't build properly! [21:43] I'm gonna have to do some digging. I'll take my terminal with me. [21:43] I've got to get back to my unit [21:43] one mo [21:45] Just more a sec. I`m trying to use command. [21:45] OerHeks, userdel: user nvidia-persistenced is currently used by process 1881 [21:45] CharlieTheCabbie: ok, if lightdm is working and kdm isn't i suppose maybe it's loading a wrong configuration or something, you could maybe check the logs and see what's going on [21:45] REPENT OR YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOREVER AND EVER [21:45] It is not showing anything that command. And I did run as superuser. [21:46] CharlieTheCabbie: they are in /var/log/kdm/ most likely [21:46] !ops | repent [21:46] I am getting a 404 error from a ppa how do I delete that source?

[21:48] ok EriC^^ I'm back at my terminal now. Give me a few moments while I go through what you sent me [21:48] I can check. [21:48] No. [21:48] But I did download driver from nvidia website once. [21:49] superherointj, oh, then you have to reinstall them after a recent kernel update, i guess [21:50] Ok, EriC^^ - the lshw -C command you gave me returns: configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0 [21:50] That command doesn`t return anything to me. [21:51] OerHeks, does superherointj have the same problem?

[22:01] EriC^^: /usr/bin/kdm [22:01] CharlieTheCabbie: ok [22:05] So every time Ubuntu updates I have to reinstall nvidia drivers. That is pretty silly. [22:06] superherointj, normally, no. [22:06] superherointj, this is the first time in 3 years I've had this problem [22:06] superherointj, I think it's just a bug in that specific version of the driver [22:07] CharlieTheCabbie: this error seems to stand out klauncher(1638) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. [22:07] superherointj: your card is just too new at the moment. [22:08] Eric^^: Isn't the DBUS service supposed to start when you login? [22:10] daftykins, it's not that [22:10] not for your card perhaps no [22:10] but you don't know what i'm getting at i think [22:10] CharlieTheCabbie: ok, did you try to dpkg-reconfigure? [22:10] yep [22:12] The nvidia driver I am using is: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.58.run [22:12] CharlieTheCabbie: type whereis startkde [22:12] superherointj: yeah, these are the risks of using a manual download. [22:12] MrSassyPants: see the difference? [22:12] daftykins, ah, he downloaded it from the site. [22:12] should mention firefox is working fine, should i take this to kde? looks to be plasma maybe is culprit... [22:12] daftykins, yea I get it. [22:13] MrSassyPants: i don't think the repo packages support superherointj's card right now [22:13] daftykins, still, 700 series isn't new! did he try the default ones? Theres 800s and 900s out now [22:13] so a manual download is the only option -> leading to issues [22:13] MrSassyPants: you might want to do some card history research in your own time ;) [22:13] the 780 is suported from 3.19 and up [22:14] EriC^^: startkde: /usr/bin/startkde /usr/bin/X11/startkde /usr/share/man/man1/startkde.1.gz [22:14] My computer was unstable before going after the nvidia proprietary drivers and it improved after I installed it. [22:14] just going to reboot, give me a moment [22:14] Now I am just trying to figure out how to solve it. [22:15] quit [22:15] CharlieTheCabbie: ok [22:15] daftykins, I'm not sure you are right in your analysis. because the regular 331 thats in apt right now would totally support the 780! [22:15] I just ran apt-cache search nouveau and found the nouveau-firmware file, which it seems I didn't have :/ [22:16] MrSassyPants: Ti edition too? meh maybe it was another model. either way this conversation has gone on too long and i'm done with it \o/ [22:16] I've installed and rebooted, let's see the destruction :) [22:16] I just want a driver that works. How can I have current driver from repository? [22:16] superherointj: just reinstall yours, no biggy. [22:19] daftykins, you rang? [22:19] wow that's a terrible nickname for IRC [22:19] you might as well be called 'lol' [22:19] daftykins, the 780 is about the oldest 700 series... the lower numbers (730) are actually newer because they're typically mobile devices. [22:19] 780 has been supported since march, from what I can tell [22:20] MrSassyPants: i don't want to hear anymore about it now. also, i disagree [22:20] daftykins, alright alright [22:22] * DilloYoda is away: Off to find a shrubbery... [22:22] superherointj, there should be drivers that work for you in the repository, just make sure *not* to use 'nouveau', because nouveau is the open source driver that won't work well for you [22:22] superherointj: My thoughts As Nvidia 750 ti version 334.xx or later, and it's not in the Trusty repo ; is not yout 780 ti an even later card ? such that perhaps https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia is a viable option ? [22:23] yout/your* [22:23] MrSassyPants: Is there another Nvidia driver to use instead of nouveau? Nouveau is not working right on here, everything is tits up and sinking like a holed ocean liner [22:24] CharlieTheCabbie, yes. Nouveau is the Open Source driver. The proprietary, current one would be nvidia-331-updates [22:24] nice. Do I need any new repos to pull that? [22:24] I don't think so [22:25] unless you want the bleeding edge, super current drivers [22:26] getting them now. How do I swap from nouveau to this one? lsmod is showing nouveau for the video driver [22:26] you reboot. [22:26] cool [22:26] the easier the better [22:26] back in a tick [22:27] good luck CharlieTheCabbie [22:27] there's a front end for selecting the driver [22:28] but you can try just installing the nvidia drivers and then after a restart run nvidia-settings to see if they're actually being used [22:30] Right. I will test nvidia-settings. I happened to open UBuntu desktop but without left side menu bar. [22:30] sounds bad [22:30] ld [22:31] kick picassoo no pm spam please - you've already been klined for this [22:32] dkms is running now, it's building the module for my kernel [22:34] GREETINGS. How do I set the keyboard repeat rate in 14.04.1? [22:34] I will test that PPA. [22:35] uhelp, system settings > keyboard - repeat keys [22:35] how do you access system settings? ccsm? [22:35] Right now Ubuntu is opening when I restart but it doesn`t show the left side panel that hold icons. [22:36] Hi is it possible to list the files not installed by apt? [22:36] uhelp, systemsettings is a standard icon on the unity panel [22:36] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [22:36] BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB [22:36] zermanno: can you reiterate? [22:36] I do not have the unity panel. What would I type? [22:36] superherointj: That "might" be a dconf issue ?? [22:36] How do I check it? [22:36] ANYONE KNOW SHUTDOWN COMMAND [22:37] sudo shutdown -h now [22:37] EriC^^, I'd like to know which parts of the file system have been modified by users [22:37] uhelp, what ubuntu/desktop ? [22:37] WOOHOO! [22:38] OerHeks, it is the default desktop but I uninstalled the panel [22:38] maybe not uninstalled, it is still there when boots for a second .. then hides and is gone [22:38] It was the nouveau driver that was screwing things up. I'm on the proprietary driver, Eric^^, MrSassyPants & daftykins - and kde is crystal clear! [22:39] CharlieTheCabbie, congrats [22:39] Thanks for all your help, it's been a pain in the arse to fix, but it's there :) [22:39] I don't want it back -- just need to know how to access from command line. [22:39] superherointj: Try , from terminal -> sudo apt-get install dconf-tools , export DISPLAY=:0 , dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ , unity --reset-icons . Reboot to see if any effect . [22:40] FOUND IT: uniity-control-center [22:40] unity-control-center* -- Thank you OerHeks :) [22:40] uhelp, nice, you found it quicker than me :-D [22:41] I don`t have this /org/compiz/ folder. [22:41] OerHeks, ugh. There is still a problem. Someone needs to be shot. The slide bar only lets you choose between slow and slower. I cannot increase the repeat speed. [22:41] superherointj: Unity as the Desktop Environment ? [22:41] Yes. === ark is now known as Guest67653 [22:42] I use standard Ubuntu. [22:42] superherointj: it's not a folder, it's a key [22:43] OerHeks, so now I am back to my original problem. I know where I can access some gui control to change it but the gui control is useless. [22:43] error: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch' [22:43] hi - I have an LUbuntu 14.04 VM, and the ethernet isnt connecting.. there was no eth0 entry in /etc/network/interfaces, so I added one for DHCP, and sudo service network restart.. but no connection.. what to look at tnext?

Then, follow ikonia's advice :) [22:45] uhelp, might be worth a bugreport, in ubuntu/unity it is adjustable as you expect it to. [22:45] eth0 [22:45] hello, I've bought a new computer (no previous OS) and am trying to get drivers installed for my 750 ti. I've been trying for days now to get this working, to no avail. I just get a purple screen when I boot into Ubuntu. I try booting into recovery mode with networking but I get the error: "mountall: fsck /boot [879] terminated with status" 1 [22:45] What should I do? [22:45] Guest67653: what drivers do you need ? [22:45] The command "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/" returns "error: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch'". What should I do then? [22:45] OerHeks, what URL do I file it at? [22:46] right guys, with many thanks, i have got to go get one with some work. I'll drop in on you again tomorrow night probably, hopefully should be all quiet on the western front by then [22:46] superherointj: I think you need to tell it about the X session else it tries to spawn its own dbus instance by activating a console from key combo ctl+alt+F2 . [22:46] not sure exactly which drivers. I can't get networking to work so I've not even gotten that far [22:46] are you suggesting System Tools -> Network ? or Preferences -> Network Connections ?? [22:46] good night, sleep well :_ [22:46] :) [22:46] Guest67653: how have you configured networking === philipballew is now known as Guest51876 [22:47] ikonia: are you talking to me ? [22:47] darkblue_b: when ? [22:47] uhelp, https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Bugs/Reporting [22:47] "how have you configured networking" [22:47] darkblue_b: no, that was Guest67653 [22:47] oh he did say networking at the end.. ok [22:47] Not even sure what you're asking. When I boot into recovery I choose the option that says enable networking [22:48] OerHeks, kubuntu instead of ubuntu? [22:48] Guest67653: Have a look : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2252908 <- Simple steps to install GeForce GTX 750Ti on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 . [22:48] Bashing-om: is he using a GTX750 ? [22:48] uhelp, oops, mixed you up [22:48] !bug [22:48] 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. [22:48] !Network Manager [22:48] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [22:49] OerHeks -- looks like I file it using ubuntu-bug and not online I suppose? [22:49] Bashing: I've seen that page but can't get to a point where I can download/install anything. I run those commands but am not connected to internet in recovery mode and networking option seems to crash...err...something [22:50] Guest67653: can you connect to the problem computer with ssh ? [22:50] .. with linux sometimes the computer is available even when there are terrible display problems [22:50] uhelp, yes, this goes online, except if you mark the bug as security risc, then it goes internal. [22:51] ikonia: So far as I know there is no driver availabale for the 750 ti and above to this time in our repo. There is a PPA . ( or go direct to Nvidia ) ?? [22:51] Bashing-om: I didn't see him say he was using a 750 [22:51] OerHeks, ok, I will take it from here. Thank you. [22:52] ikonia: I often get my wires croosed for sure . But I see " I've bought a new computer (no previous OS) and am trying to get drivers installed for my 750 ti " . [22:52] yes 750 ti [22:53] Bashing-om: I just totally missed it, hence why I was asking [22:54] ikonia: It is good that you watch our backs ! Guest67653 : see the link and see what you think ( I have seen the PPA as preferred ) . [22:54] Bashing-om: totally missed that he said 750 [22:55] this is very difficult to follow...Bashing-om: I've seen that page but can't get to a point where I can download/install anything. I run those commands but am not connected to internet in recovery mode and networking option seems to crash...err...something [22:55] Guest67653: it helps to have a working computer next to the one you are startin [22:56] question, I'm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS (64-bit) and I upgraded my kernel, what should I do with the extra vmlinuz* and etc boot files? http://s17.postimg.org/i5od7fgyn/Screenshot_12132014_03_55_28_PM.png [22:56] I do [22:57] when your new computer starts, and it gets to the point where it stabilizes, can you see the new computer on the network, or connect with ssh ? [22:57] seinthebear: Uninstall the old kernels, leave the two latest installed. [22:57] .. I am here for help myself but I do setup machines... [22:57] it sounds like there may not be a stock driver for this new video card, but perhaps you can get a nonfree one.. I am just reading the comments here now [23:01] Guest67653: May I suggest ya try and boot to a terminal from grub's boot menu ? -> @ grub press 'e' key for edit, in the next boot paramaeters screen arrow down and across to the line starting with linux, and arrow acroos to the terms "quiet splash" replace these terms with "text" - withoout the quotes. Key combo ctl+x to continue the bopot process to TTY1. Log in here with username and password ( NO repsonse to screen when passsword is entered ) . [23:02] bopot/boot* [23:04] darkblue_b: I wouldn't know how to connect via ssh but I *think* I see it connected to router [23:05] Bashing-om: ok, trying that now [23:05] i see alot of different sites saying that '\n' is all you need for a newline in *nix, but i'm sure i heard recently that it was supposed to be '\l\r' or '\r\n' or something like that. can i just stick to \n and be just fine? [23:05] if there is a convenient way for you to see the names/numbers of machines on your local network, then next time you shut down the new machine.. look at all the names/numbers, make a note, then start your new machine.. then look again [23:05] SteelGolem: #bash might be more relevant depending on what you're up to [23:06] hmm, maybe eh. i'm just considering what i should output in printf/etc [23:06] thanks, i'll ask there [23:07] I am having a hard time fixing this thing. I`ve got lost so many times. Ubuntu isn`t ready for average users. :( [23:07] no one is born knowing computers.. [23:07] superherointj: i would have to disagree there. if you want help you're going to have to share some more details [23:08] I believe the video card driver is right. Problem is something related to unity. [23:08] I use LUbuntu or XUbuntu to escape Unity [23:08] Sorry. I can open ubuntu desktop, but I can`t see the left side bar. [23:08] superherointj: test the guest session. [23:08] superherointj: Consider that you have a new graphics card that linux has not had the availability from the vendor to catch up to . [23:08] I don`t know how to choose guest session it opens automatically to desktop. [23:08] ugh [23:09] Bashing-om: I tried this and it just gives me a purple screen...used F10 to make it go instead of ctrl-x since that just entered x as text [23:10] Guest67653: Then You are not doing something right. This proceedure works on any release. Do you boot to the grub boot menu ? [23:10] superherointj: can you use TTY's ? (ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 would give console logins) [23:10] Yes. I can. [23:11] superherointj: this is going to be drastic, but temporary. run "mv ~/.config ~/.configold" then run "sudo service lightdm restart" [23:11] Right now at F7 I have Ubuntu Desktop. And at F1 I have terminal. [23:12] superherointj: yeah type as above [23:12] Done. It opens Desktop window. [23:12] Bashing-om: it says GNU GRUB at the top, I have options for "Ubuntu", "advanced options for Ubuntu" and some others. Should I be doing this on the first option? [23:12] But without left sidebar. [23:12] Guest67653: We are working from the install of ubuntu, correct ? Not the liveDVD(USB) . [23:13] correct [23:14] Should I reboot PC? [23:14] Guest67653: At that top option that has an asterisk to the left side .. now press the 'e' key for edit mode . [23:14] superherointj: run what i said [23:14] I did run. [23:14] yep, done [23:15] superherointj: so now switch back to ctrl+alt+F7 and see if things look ok [23:15] It restarted Ubuntu and asked for my password again. (Enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock) [23:15] Guest67653: Now you see a line similar " linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=217ed9a7-e11a-4e32-8c05-992e8c8932b6 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff " , yes ? [23:15] It did not fix it. [23:16] I still don`t have a side bar. [23:16] I can only see desktop and icons. [23:16] yes, replace "quiet splash" with "text", correct? [23:16] And Icons on desktop are working. [23:16] superherointj: sounds like you have a bigger problem. "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [23:17] Guest67653: Correct . key combo ctl+x to continue to terminal TTY1 . [23:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9508171/ [23:17] I press ctrl-x and it just inputs an actual text "x" onscreen [23:18] F10 does same? [23:18] how to install "standard firefox" in place of "firefox for ubuntu"? [23:18] Guest67653: That is a combo -- hold the 'ctl' key and also press the x key while holding the ctl key . [23:19] physixer: what's the point? [23:19] Guest67653: Yes, key F10 is supposed to do the same . [23:19] Enjoyed this pastebinit. :) [23:20] Bashing-om: I hold control button and while holding it I press "x" button. It just inputs an x onscreen. should I just press F10? Does it do the same thing? [23:20] ok F10... [23:21] Guest67653: Yes, the F10 Key is supposed to do the same .. try it and advise results . [23:21] just a purple screen [23:21] superherointj: run "sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf" - see the "autologin-user=" Line? put a # at the very start of the line to comment it out, then save with ctrl+x hitting yes/enter to confirm [23:21] daftykins: because "firefox for ubuntu" for the life of me, would not let me change default file manager from Gnome-Nautilus to Thunar [23:22] Guest67653: something stinks here .. gimme a bit to consider . [23:22] physixer: firefox has nothing to do with choosing a default file manager O_O [23:22] no problem, thanks for your help. [23:22] superherointj: after that, re-run "sudo service lightdm restart" and try the guest session [23:23] daftykins: I have changed xdg-mime, I have manually changed /usr/share/applications/defaults.list ... chromium is working, xdg-open is working, gvfs-open is working (they all open inode/directory with thunar as I specified) but not firefox [23:23] physixer: i have no experience with that [23:24] cool. it removed my user as auto-login. [23:25] As guest it showed the side bar! [23:25] superherointj: huzzah [23:25] so there's something wrong with your account for sure [23:25] are you sure you moved .config to .configold for sure? [23:25] Guest67653: Let's try this. in addition to text also add "nomodeset" as boot parameters . [23:25] Yes [23:25] I typed the command. I can try again. [23:26] superherointj: tell you what give me a "ls -al ~ | pastebinit" [23:26] Bashing-om: give me a minute [23:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9508283/ [23:27] superherointj: wait, are you root right now? [23:27] yes [23:27] *facepalm* [23:27] why on earth [23:27] users :( [23:28] why are you root? why aren't you your user? [23:28] so, I deleted "quiet splash" and input "text nomodeset" [23:28] superherointj: can you see why it didn't work now? ;) you renamed the .config of root - not your user [23:28] still just purple screen [23:29] IT works!!! [23:29] Thank you very much. [23:29] superherointj: no problemo. just to check, i hope you switched to root@ with "sudo -i" and didn't log in with root - if you have a password for root you're doing ubuntu wrong :) [23:30] I can`t login with root doesn`t work. [23:30] superherointj: good, so you just switched with 'sudo -i' or something then. [23:31] I use "sudo su". [23:31] superherointj: ok that's also really bad practice, don't do that again. "sudo -i" [23:32] Bashing-om: was that correct? [23:32] Thanks. :) [23:33] Guest67653: At this point, I must consider a bad install . Did you check the md5sum of the .iso file ? and did you "check disk for defects" when you burned the image ? [23:33] I filed a boog: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1402302 [23:33] Launchpad bug 1402302 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "Cannot Increase Keyboard Repeat Rate" [Undecided,New] [23:33] * superherointj is happy. [23:34] OerHeks, do you think it is a unity-control-center problem after all or perhaps the problem is whatever the control center modifies? [23:36] I didn't. Could my mobo or cpu be effecting anything? [23:38] Guest67653: Highly unlikely tht the CPU or main board is at fault .. less this is something very out of the norm . What system did you use to download the .iso file . and we check that file's integrity . [23:40] Torrented the .iso on my windows 7 machine. Not sure what the rest of what you wrote means === mienski_ is now known as mienski [23:41] I'll try and figure out how to check the md5 sum and do the "check disk..." thing and come back. Thanks for your help [23:42] !md5sum [23:42] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:42] Guest67653: pretty safe to say a torrent will've downloaded properly unless you have a bad disk / kept your client running when dealing with it [23:42] Guest67653: Torrent is generally reliable, but I do suggest that we take the time and effort to verify the .iso . Just to make sure the foundation for troubleshooting is firm. see : http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows for the instructions. and then we check that "disk for defects" . [23:43] hi. been away from ubuntu for a while, need some refreshers.. first off im trying to use a program called unity tweak tool and it tells me i am missing a schema com.canonical.unity.webapps. how can i satisfy this dependance? [23:44] Thanks everyone. I'll come back when the kids aren't running around like madmen and making this more difficult than it already is. Thanks again. [23:44] uhelp, i am not sure if the detected keyboard is the bottleneck [23:45] tweak, reinstall the package? [23:46] oerheks: i really don't know what package to reinstall.. i searched software center but didnt come up with anything exact [23:46] Guest67653: K, should not be that tuff to get a driver installed for that 750 ti . Just there is no driver available in 'buntu's software repository . And we need to make sure you have a good install. Booting to purple from geub is not a good sign . [23:47] tweak, here is find install unity-webapps-service >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/449943/com-canonical-unity-webapps-schema-is-missing-what-does-this-mean [23:47] what's a good package for opening rar files in ubuntu? [23:47] !info unrar [23:47] unrar (source: unrar-nonfree): Unarchiver for .rar files (non-free version). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:5.0.10-1 (utopic), package size 133 kB, installed size 298 kB [23:47] OerHeks: thank you [23:48] thanks OerHeks [23:49] unrar e /path/to/file.rar /path/to/destination [23:50] Hey, gnumeric question. Given the choice, should I be saving my spreadsheets as Excel's .xlsx format or Gnumeric's native .gnumeric format? It says Excel it natively supported, but it doesn't go into detail and the message feels kind of mixed. [23:50] explodingmango1: how much do you use excel ? do you need to send the files to Excel users? [23:51] hi [23:51] [someone] to talk? [23:51] im laura? [23:52] sigh. [23:52] ignore LauritA_99 [23:52] darkblue_b: Hmm, I don't do a lot of work with Excel users but I can anticipate a future need. I guess my question is (continued) [23:52] explodingmango1, do both? [23:53] As far as gnumeric-xlsx compatibility goes, is there any feature which could be saved in gnumeric but not .xlsx? [23:53] Because that's the only problem I can see with saving as .gnumeric by default, running into a "gotcha" the one time I need to export as xlsx === ian is now known as Guest55099 [23:55] explodingmango1: why don't you do your due-diligence by saving as the program's native format, then try conversion and see if all things you use work. [23:56] +1 [23:57] daftykins: Yeah, sounds like a plan. Even given my laziness, it takes like 3 clicks to save as excel every so often and see if the program complains about anything. [23:57] Hello! I just performed an update through Aptitude, rebooted, and now my system is showing the wrong resolution. It's displaying 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080. How do I fix? [23:58] garrettkajmowicz: sudo apt-get install pastebinit ; pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:58] Or I guess I could go with Open Document Format :P [23:59] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9508616/
