[00:00] I guess PPAs tend to have RSS feeds, but that tells you about updates to the entire PPA instead of just the 2 or 3 packages you installed from the list [00:00] oops, *got a question [00:00] explodingmango: no, just bookmark the page maybe [00:01] hm, dang. oh well === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [00:26] explodingmango: what happens if you "pin" it? Do you still get notifications?

[00:36] hi all, does xubuntu update itself automatically [00:38] Starcraftmazter: he can boot a live usb and decrypt the partition manually [00:38] EriC^^: [00:38] what tool can decrypt it? [00:38] Starcraftmazter: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line [00:41] user1: no [00:43] how can i download the video from http://portal.stretchinternet.com/fpuadmin/full.htm?eventId=190009&streamType=video [00:43] basketballlll: I'm not sure this is Ubuntu related. [00:43] that is not an ubuntu question [00:43] basketballlll: you can't just use this channel as your "how to do every single thing with a computer" resource [00:44] do u know of a channel [00:44] lol [00:44] maybe #wget ? === Consuela_ is now known as Consuela [00:48] Query: Does anyone know of a way to convert an existing 14.04 Lubuntu/Ubuntu installation so that it resides on an LVM volume instead of directly on the disk? [00:49] on mint 17 u had a shield saying checking for updates and then green tick. is there anything like that on ubuntu [00:49] yes the update manager which pops up when there are updates [00:49] But Ubuntu still doesn't update on its own. [00:50] that's a good thing [00:50] although i think you're wrong, i've seen auto updated mechanisms [00:50] -d [00:50] Sachiru: apart from the obvious? Create an LVM volume and and copy the data to it? [00:51] ok cheers [00:51] Loshki: It's root [00:51] Root partition, boot partition, etc to LVM [00:52] hey daft xbuntu slighly laggy. i guess its me lappy tho [00:52] NegativeFlare: I thought the update manager wakes up periodically, if you configure it right. And there's always cron I suppose. Some updates require manual interaction. [00:52] Sachiru: do it all from a live CD... [00:53] Loshki: it does by default. It only wakes up and tells you have updates available. And to my knowledge it doesn't update packages automatically. [00:53] Now as for me, I've disabled update manager completely. I find it rather annoying. [00:53] NegativeFlare: that manual interaction thing again... [00:53] Loshki: What about it? I'm confused. [00:53] yeah what's the issue? [00:53] I know some packages require user input. [00:54] package updates* [00:54] would the weather in the corner cause xbuntu go laggy [00:54] NegativeFlare: I'm saying you can't always upgrade unattended, because some packages require user input [00:55] Loshki: Oh, I knew that already. [00:55] user1, nah [00:56] whas the browser choice for linux users [00:56] one that works [00:56] user1: That differs between users [00:56] usally i use firefox [00:56] !info links2 | user1 [00:56] user1: chromium, firefox, opera...

[00:57] What are the default permission granted to directories in /home/USER? [00:57] is chrome faster on linux then ff [00:58] with that nasty SiS graphics of yours, you won't see any benefits :) [00:58] I had to chmod all Pictures and Music to 777 to transfer them. I want to change them back once the transfer is done [00:58] Guest67819: 755 most likely [00:58] user1: Depends on the system. [00:58] user1: about the same. I've found chrome sound/flash buggy, irritating but not fatal. [00:58] Ben64, thanks! I am backing them up to an external HD, so when I complete my re-install, I can do chmod to 755? [00:58] Guest67819: you should never ever have to chmod to 777, you definitely don't need to do that to transfer files. you're doing it wrong [00:59] ok cool this ubuntu running sweet tho [00:59] Ben64, doing a regular drag +drop kept telling me I didn't have permissions. Rsync was skipping the same files, cp -rpv was not giving me the same file size [01:00] even with sudo enforced. [01:00] can i give the xbuntu bit of colour everything grey [01:01] Guest67819: you shouldn't have to use sudo to copy to an external drive. you should have checked permissions on the exact files causing you problems instead of chmodding everything [01:01] !themes | user1 [01:01] user1: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [01:02] Ben64, but if I chmod everything back, I should be OK, right?

[01:10] is there a good way to host a website from my computer to a cloud server that can feed it to the web? [01:10] Ben64, owner should be my regular user, and they're just different directories, not anything different than the one next to them. They're not special or copied from somewhere else or anything. Most music was ripped straight from CD, and the documents were all created on Linux, using LibreOffice (no no sudo, etc) [01:11] Guest67819: the ls -l command tells you this information.

I never created any file as root. Only as the user found in the directory /home/Jackson [01:28] So user Jackson created them all [01:28] k1l: I know. I mean, I'm a regular Ubuntu user, but got exploited somehow. I'm paranoid as you can see (using tor). [01:29] Guest67819: yes that would be the assumption, however since you had problems copying a directory set as 700, which would supposedly give your user full control over it, i'm not so sure [01:29] Ben64, drwx------ 5 1000 1000 4096 Dec 8 21:21 Money [01:30] Ben64, drwxr-xr-x 2 1000 1000 4096 Apr 3 2013 Online_Purchases [01:30] there are 2 examples, one I can't touch, the other I can. [01:30] Guest67819: 1000? did you do "ls -l" or some other command [01:31] Ben64, that's ls -l [01:31] Guest67819: then that isn't owned by your user [01:31] Guest67819: what is the output of "id" [01:31] Ben64, it is also interesting that a lot of directories are set to drwxr-xr-x but most files are -rw-r--r-- [01:32] yep that is normal [01:32] 755 for directories, 644 for files. directories need the executable bit set to work properly [01:32] Ben64, uid=999(qwerty) gid=999(qwerty) groups=999(qwerty),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),107(lpadmin),115(sambashare) [01:32] Ben64, but I'm also looking at the partition from a live CD [01:32] should I perhaps try removing upstart and have it only using systemd or something maybe?

I thought it could cover *buntu derivatives as well. I know it's not the right way, but what should I re-set everything to after I do 777? 755? [01:36] Guest67819: again, DON'T do 777 [01:36] Ben64, well, it's too late on other directories!! Is there a way to undo that? [01:36] pretty sure i explained that a few times too... 755 for directories, 644 for files. directories need the executable bit set to work properly [01:37] hey, what was the command to check my partation spaces again Bashing-om ?

[01:57] EriC^^: my original problem is that I coulden't install ubuntu 14.04 and no-one can figure out why [01:57] ricku: you'll have to use the windows "make recovery disks and wipe it" option to make disks [01:57] ricku: ls -l /mnt [01:57] ricku: what do you mean? when you install what happens [01:58] 7imag001.GHS 7imag002.GHS 7image.GHO System Volume Information [01:58] i spy norton ghost image files [01:58] .GHO [01:58] ricku: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2256776 [01:59] EriC^^: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2256776 [01:59] ricku: you cant install ubuntu because windows blocks all 4 possible primary partitions.

[03:08] Visual: http://i.imgur.com/CSxGVdy.png [03:12] hey all [03:12] i have seen that (in other distros too) ... usually just minimizing and "re-maximizing" "fixes the issue [03:13] ^ ICantLinux [03:13] In Ubuntu 14.04, is there any way to stop, MouseKeys from ceasing to function until you turn them back off and on, when you have to unplug/plug back in a USB keyboard? [03:14] I've tried that method, but with no success. Only closing a window while still maximized and restarting works. [03:14] And even then, that's only until I attempt to maximize again. [03:15] odd .. that method works for me (min than max) [03:17] Have a hunch it's a graphics driver problem. Could it be my GPU and fglrx messing around? [03:17] Is there a safe way to install the gpu? [03:18] ICantLinux: what card? [03:19] r9 280x. [03:19] lolcat: no trolling ty :P [03:19] ... [03:19] daftykins: What? [03:19] fuck [03:19] Often when I try it just ends up breaking X11 [03:19] lolcat: installing a graphics card isn't an OS question [03:19] lolcat: you might want to share more details then [03:19] ICantLinux: What graphics card, and is a driver loaded ? pastebin the output -> sudo lshw -C display <- . [03:21] Bashing-om: fglrx (14.201, IIRC) with an r9 280x. [03:22] lolcat: do you mean you are trying to update graphics driver? [03:22] Bashing-om: and here's the paste: http://pastebin.com/yQDNUE6m [03:23] daftykins: No [03:23] I am trying to install it [03:24] I need the real driver, not the open-source version. I like games. [03:24] lolcat: ok so what card do you have? [03:24] ICantLinux: look'n at your http://pastebin.com/yQDNUE6m . [03:27] ICantLinux: Looks good to me . Might try from Additional Drivers utility and see what other drivers are availabale . [03:27] lolcat: graphics card type? (run "lspci" in a terminal and find the line) what've you tried, driver wise? [03:27] hola [03:28] Bashing-om: That's the thing. Everything else is perfectly functional, and the installed driver is most certainly the Ubuntu-specific fglrx one. === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [03:28] !es | Santiago [03:28] Santiago: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:30] ICantLinux: A real stretch here, but as it is only effected in chromium, (re-)install chromium, see if there is a change ? [03:32] Bashing-om: Already tried, unfortunately. Not only does this affect Chrome, but also ANYTHING based off of Chromium.

[03:55] locking when [03:55] Gr1zzly, yes [03:56] ** gr1zzly_be4r [03:56] immediately after logging in [03:56] it just shows that there's system error and i can't click anything on the sidebar [03:56] I looked at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/453954/gpu-lockup-during-trusty-tahr-14-04-installation [03:56] but i can't access the menu that they're talking about [03:58] How do I take a screenshot of a whole page that has scrolling on this? [04:00] R13ose: hrmm? [04:01] is there anything that i can do to fix the locking? [04:01] there's probably something [04:01] reisio: If I have a website page that you need to scroll down to see more elements on that page. How do I take a screenshot of all the elements on the website page? [04:02] i think that i need to install a driver for my GPU, but how can i do that if i can't even log in? [04:02] R13ose: ah [04:03] what was the name of that apppp [04:03] ? [04:04] R13ose: wkhtmltopdf [04:04] or a dozen other things [04:04] but why take a screenshot when you can just save it [04:05] gr1zzly_be4r: what graphics card? [04:05] gr1zzly_be4r: A couple of ways, a) through grub's recovery kernel (console); b) boot to terminal from grub ( edit the kernel boot parameters ) . [04:05] one sec [04:05] reisio: to show someone who is not near their desktop [04:06] i can install stuff from grub? [04:07] gr1zzly_be4r: no, the idea is to boot the OS through grub's recovery console ( advanced options) or boot to a terminal from grub . [04:08] oh and then install the driver from that terminal [04:08] R13ose: mmm [04:08] correct? [04:09] gr1zzly_be4r: Yup, but see daftykins' request to know what card you have installed . [04:11] anyone run xubuntu in oracle? === ross`_ is now known as ross` [04:17] Parabox: you mean virtualbox? be a bit more specific... [04:17] daftykins: I seems to be working! Thank you very much for your help. Just had to "nuke it from space". Whodathought? [04:18] yea sorry [04:18] noe: well now, that was just step #1... so you've reached the desktop post install, but you might need to do some other things too [04:18] noe: as if i'm right, updating right now might cause your install to do what the last one did (unless you've run updates in the meantime?) [04:19] I'm sure. But it's not just a f***ing purple screen anymore [04:19] Haven't run any updates [04:20] noe: hehe, ok click the system settings ikon with the little cog on the left, then run the 'software and sources' part that the window that opens has, then switch to the additional drivers/hardware tab at the far right and see if it offers you anything [04:20] ATI Radeon X600 SE [04:20] that's the graphics card i have [04:20] gr1zzly_be4r: ah, bad luck there i don't think that's supported by anything other than the default driver it will be using already. [04:21] noe: daftykins Still, we do not have a driver for the 750 ti card in our repository . [04:21] daftykins: sofware & updates? [04:21] so if it's not working now it's not going to work at all? [04:22] noe: yep that one [04:22] Bashing-om: good stuff, i'm eating pasta i just made so i was just going to check the easy route first :) [04:22] i did vaguely consider it was one of the unsupported cards [04:23] gr1zzly_be4r: daftykins Is not that an old ATI card that AMD no longer supports ( ATI Radeon X600 SE ) ?? [04:24] daftykins: "No additional drivers available" but I did the first two steps from here a bit ago: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/03/install-nvidia-driver-334-21-ubuntu-linux/ [04:24] daftykins: I doing my chocolate ice cream (pasifier ) !

I don't understand what the rest of the steps (3+) will do for me. Is the rest necessary? why? [04:26] gr1zzly_be4r: getting another card would likely be a lot easier [04:27] ok [04:27] gr1zzly_be4r: though without reading logs we can't be 100% sure your problem is graphics related [04:27] is there a way that I could get those for you? [04:27] noe: yeah get that nvidia driver installed, i think updates might brick your system otherwise [04:28] reisio: I found an add-on for firefox that does this [04:29] daftykins: doing steps 1 and 2 didn't install an nvidia driver? [04:29] noe: oh yeah i misread it the first time i saw that... did you reboot and run nvidia-settings since? i don't think nvidia-319 supports your card 0o [04:30] R13ose: gj [04:30] thanks [04:35] noe: how's it looking? [04:36] rebooted (a couple of times to be sure). run nvidia-settings? [04:37] yeah, it's the program to confirm things are working [04:37] noe: it also wouldn't hurt to fire up a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" so i can take a glance at what driver is in use and working [04:41] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9524178 [04:42] noe: looks good, as per line 90 it's using the nvidia-331 driver [04:42] Bashing-om: hrmm looks like the 331 likes the 750Ti after all [04:43] noe: if you're feeling brave you could upgrade now ;) [04:43] abcd [04:43] abhi_cdot: do that somewhere else please. [04:44] I'm feeling mighty brave,the wife might want some attention though...Eh, I'll go for it [04:44] :D [04:44] wait/what?! [04:44] cfhowlett: o/ [04:47] daftykins: Yeah ! I was looking .. I see no fault . Nvidia do something ? as I was under the impression we needed version 334.xx or later . [04:50] Bashing-om: mmm no idea here, maybe it's the point of 319-updates having updates of some kind 0o === amir_ is now known as Guest96418 [04:51] daftykins: If it ain't broke, do not fix it !

I have no experience at all with tuning TCP but am looking to check it out. Is sysctl the main place to go pretty much? [04:59] Hi, I'm using ubuntu 14.10 and I have a problem with a package, it's gimp, it seems it has broken dependences, so I can't install it, I checked my repos and everything it's ok, in fact, the gimp is on the repos, so I google this situation but there is enough useful info, anyone has an idea? [04:59] try to update and upgrade your system before installing anythong [04:59] try to update and upgrade your system before installing anything [05:00] viejotren: Pastie your exact error output as well. So we can see exactly what you mean. [05:00] inception: I did it, still the same [05:00] agent_white: just 1 minute [05:01] turns out that it's a different graphics card [05:02] nvidia g72 [05:02] which i think is supported [05:03] :D [05:03] agent_white: http://snag.gy/9sqPN.jpg [05:05] viejotren: Held packages? [05:06] viejotren: Find them this way `dpkg --get-selections | grep hold` [05:07] gr1zzly_be4r: to see the card and releated driver ( if loaded) terminal command -> sudo lshw -C display <- . look in "config" line for a loaded driver . [05:08] agent_white: nothing, after type the command you write, I got nothing on terminal [05:09] viejotren: http://askubuntu.com/questions/164587/how-can-you-unhold-remove-a-hold-on-a-package [05:09] agent_white: thank you, I'll check it [05:09] viejotren: Try that out. Otherwise, if you're looking for the 'quickest' way, generally aptitude will resolve those issues for you, unlike apt-get. [05:10] agent_white: got it, I'll let you know in a couple of minutes, thank you [05:10] the only thing that shows in the "config" line is "latency=0" [05:10] No problem! [05:11] gr1zzly_be4r: Well, then ... no driver is loaded . Need to find out what it will take to load a driver of some sort . [05:12] right. well i tried just updating the package manager with just an apt-get update and it's failing [05:12] so i don't know how i'd even install a driver [05:13] how do i make an upstart script run last? [05:13] after all other scripts ran [05:15] gr1zzly_be4r: If you are at the recovery console, and have not "enabled Networking" then of course the package manager will fail as no internet . - I work best from an actual terminal ( edit the kernels boot line in grub ) . We will woek through this . But past my time here and getting sleepy . [05:15] actually the script does not run at all but works with inictl invoked manually [05:15] woek/work* [05:16] anything i should know about making an upstart job run during boot? [05:16] or maybe there is another channel i should go to and discuss this [05:17] agent_white: I found the problem is with gcc-base version, utopic unicorn uses 4.9.2 and it's required 4.9.1, I guess downgrade gcc-base is not a valid option right? [05:17] viejotren: Oh wow... have you just simply updated your system yet? [05:19] agent_white: yes my system is up to date, more details about I found: http://snag.gy/9YM5K.jpg [05:19] can i just enable networking from the recovery command prompt? [05:20] Anyone know if it's possible to exclude specific files (like desktop.ini for example) when using a cifs share with autofs? [05:20] viejotren: Looks like the 7th action is best bet. (the other packages aren't installed, so they don't matter) [05:21] agent_white: ok, I'll try it, just 1 minute === stub` is now known as stub [05:26] agent_white: it does not work, more details: http://pbrd.co/1xjwSGE [05:27] gr1zzly_be4r: yeah, best I recall is to "exit' the root terminal, and that takes you back to the options screen, here choose "enable networking" and once more select "root terminal" . [05:28] i got it working [05:28] with an ifconfig eth0 up [05:28] so now if i run that lshw -C display i should see something else right [05:29] viejotren: What did you enter to get that prompt? [05:29] `apt-get install gimp` ? [05:30] gr1zzly_be4r: Possible, but doubtful .. We need to KNOW the card then consider the options to install a driver . [05:30] agent_white: when it says: "accept this solution?..." I typed 7 [05:30] viejotren: OHHH woops! [05:30] "Y" [05:30] Hit Y instead [05:30] haha I missed that. [05:30] it's a nvidia card [05:30] i installed an apt-get nvidia-current [05:31] agent_white: using apt-get I got the held broken packages, and the screenshot is using aptityude [05:31] gr1zzly_be4r: Maybe good .. IF that card is still supported by Nvidia . [05:31] lets fucking hope so [05:31] ls [05:31] lol [05:32] viejotren: Alright. When the prompt comes back up, hit "7" then "Y" [05:32] gr1zzly_be4r: lol nvidia now? don't use that language in here please. [05:33] gr1zzly_be4r: To seee what the grahics card(s) is -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- . [05:33] agent_white: done, but it did not work, the same result as the previous screenshot [05:33] sorry [05:34] well it's not locking anymore but it's saying that there are internal problems [05:35] yeah the VGA controller is a NVIDIA Corp G72 [05:35] gr1zzly_be4r: driver did not install ? see above to know what card we are dealing with . [05:35] the driver installed is nvidia [05:36] i think it's actually working now though. [05:37] gr1zzly_be4r: A reboot sometimes works wonders . [05:37] It's not locking, and I'm in the regular desktop. [05:38] looks like it definitely did for me [05:38] viejotren: `sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get autoclean` [05:38] Then try `sudo apt-get install gimp` [05:39] !yay | gr1zzly_be4r [05:39] gr1zzly_be4r: Glad you made it! :-) [05:39] agent_white: same result (held broken packages) [05:40] thank you for the help! [05:40] thank you for Ubuntu guys [05:40] viejotren: Pastie the output for me please :) [05:40] viejotren: pastie.org [05:40] gr1zzly_be4r: :) m you done all the work .

[05:47] nginx at least vs apache2 [05:48] noe: no idea there i'm afraid, you restarted already then? since the updates installed [05:48] i really just want a jquery type framework like angular, a DB (i know mysql well, familiar with postgres), and SSL... [05:48] and php [05:49] yes, restarted & got that error with lots of "details" below [05:49] hey_joe: how low are we talking?

[10:48] naturalog: But I reckon you'll have a better time if you think about this as two separate problems to be solved separately. backup programs don't care about encrypting the data, you can just store their output in an encrypted volume?

[10:59] yes ubuntu 14.04 [10:59] Guest70352: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop [11:00] Pricey, ofc doing it manually or even requiring to insert the password each time, will make the backup not to happen when you actually need it :) [11:00] tttt im considering installing tahoe-lafs [11:02] 有 中国的吗 [11:02] !cn | xh, [11:02] xh,: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [11:03] the iso that i downloaded is : ubuntu-gnome-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [11:04] my cpu is : intel pentium dual core (x86 -64 ) [11:04] RAM : 1.5 GB [11:05] Guest70352, 1.5? pretty low especially for gnome! lubuntu or xubuntu likely better choices. gnome and unity are ram hungry [11:06] Guest70352: is ubuntu already installed? [11:06] but ubuntu-gnome says minimum ram is 1 Gb [11:06] yes [11:06] Guest70352: it should already be ubuntu-gnome then [11:06] ( if you used that iso ) [11:07] i already installed ubuntu 14.04 [11:07] Guest70352: you don't need to download an iso to add/change the desktop environment to gnome or anything else [11:07] Guest70352: which iso did you use? [11:09] Hi. I have problem with tray icons - my dropbox icon is not this system default one: https://i.imgur.com/RuhSzId.png - it worked day or two ago [11:09] EriC^^ ubuntu-gnome 14.04.1 [11:09] Guest70352: ok [11:09] gruntz, please don't crosspost [11:10] heloo all [11:10] hello [11:10] :) [11:11] with bash , i can echo 'sometext' >> into.txt file , is there a way to echo it to lets say line 10 ? [11:11] any tips are welcome ( ubuntu bash ) [11:13] yellabs-r2: I imagine this is more for #bash? [11:14] maybe yes.. ;) [11:14] naturalog: There exist solutions to encrypt to a public key, which can't be decrypted without the privat ekey. [11:14] Yes === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [11:19] Pricey, nice idea [11:23] hi [11:24] does ubuntu contain selinux? [11:25] yes [11:26] good [11:28] does ubuntu has Transmission embedded? [11:29] Hi. i'm noticed that Indicator applet has been quited due to an unknown problem(maybe low memory) and i can't switch keyboard language. which daemon should i restart? [11:29] daniel555: yes [11:29] thanks [11:30] but dosent have irc client embedded? [11:33] daniel555: no, just a Instant-messenger. but you can install xchat/hexchat or other clients from the official ubuntu repo [11:36] thanks [11:37] does ubuntu really contain SElinux? [11:38] sennn: apt-cache search selinux [11:38] sennn: you have the answer. what is your real issue? what ubuntu are you runnin exactly? [11:38] sennn: to see if you have it installed do apt-cache policy selinux [11:47] how stable is the non-lts kernel in ubuntu 14.04 compared to the lts upstream kernels? [11:48] HZun: you mean 14.10 ? [11:48] nevermind [11:48] I have a shell script which is supposed to launch every 6 minutes [11:49] and in my system monitor, I see it's running, but it's clearly not because it doesn't open the windows which it would when I double click it [11:49] HZun: ubuntu supports the kernel from 14.04 for 5 years. that is stable [11:50] javnut: is it a cronjob? [11:50] EriC^^: yeah [11:50] */6 * * * * ? [11:50] javnut: what is this script about and should it open a window? [11:51] ciao a tutti [11:51] !list [11:51] enry23: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [11:51] k1l: yes, it basically opens up genymotion [11:51] k1l, that depends how great the support is. how does canonical/ubuntu support compares to the upstream lts kernel support? [11:51] javnut: it won't open a gui unless you do DISPLAY=:0 === jan is now known as Guest45623 [11:51] someone can say to me what is the version of fglrx driver on ubuntu 14.10 ? and does it the last same version of the amd website ? [11:51] EriC^^: it's a shell script which opens up genymotion [11:52] not an actual GUI [11:52] javnut: but genymotion is a gui? [11:52] HZun: i dont get what are you pointing at exactly. ubuntu supports the kernel and backports patches if needed. [11:52] EriC^^: yes, and another similar shell script which I have works fine [11:52] guig33k: packages.ubuntu.com [11:52] it does exactly the same thing basically [11:53] javnut: it doesn't matter, do export DISPLAY=:0 script.sh [11:53] for the command? [11:53] guig33k: and now, the amd website got a newer version in most times, but its not better to run a newer version. the ubuntu one is made working with ubuntu and that is better than a newer version that doesnt run at all :) [11:53] "do export DISPLAY=:0 script.sh"? [11:54] guig33k: or the automatic updates and situations when you get a kernel update. that is all better on ubuntu driver === Joshua^Dunamis is now known as J^D_is_coming_so [11:54] k1l, i just needed some clarification as to what ubuntu support means. but thanks [11:54] k1l: on packages.ubuntu.com you cannot see the version [11:54] guig33k: sure [11:54] fglrx-updates (2:14.201-0ubuntu2) [restricted] [11:54] javnut: try DISPLAY=:0 script.sh [11:54] but it not say me which version of the amd driver it is [11:55] EriC^^: ok, I'll see what happens in a minute [11:55] k1l: yes but i play a native game on linux and someone say to me the bug which make black screen in the game has been correct by the last amd driver [11:55] guig33k: what version is on amd website? [11:55] javnut: or DISPLAY=:0 bash /path/to/script.sh [11:56] guig33k: its version: 14.201 in utopic [11:56] k1l: 14.12 and it s dated of 09/12/2014 [11:56] Hi, I'm having issues booting up after the latest update... getting warnings in Xorg.0.log for /dev/dri/card0 [11:57] k1l: when the last will be add to ubuntu ? [11:57] EriC^^: the DISPLAY /path/to/script.sh didn't work [11:57] I tried deleting xorg.conf but now it won't login [11:57] javnut: i think you need to add bash [11:57] (though lightdm does start) === J^D_is_coming_so is now known as Joshua^Dunamis [11:58] !away > Joshua^Dunamis [11:58] Joshua^Dunamis, please see my private message [11:58] EriC^^: that didn't work either, and I'm not following the logic here [11:58] the script WAS working [11:58] I have another similar script which does almost the same thing, and that launched 30 minutes ago [11:58] k1l: where do you have see it s 14.201 ? [11:59] javnut: it should work [11:59] javnut: in crontab? [11:59] EriC^^: yes [11:59] does the script set the display? [12:00] see, my other script just launched [12:00] javnut: is it launching a gui? [12:00] EriC^^: yes [12:02] javnut: can you upload the scripts? [12:02] EriC^^: let me try something first [12:02] javnut: ok [12:04] EriC^^: I just removed the script [12:04] and readded the same thing [12:04] javnut: if you could upload stuff it would be better [12:05] EriC^^: no, I mean it's working now [12:05] that doesn't make sense [12:05] all I did was remove the cron job [12:05] and readded it [12:05] maybe your computer is moody [12:05] who knows [12:05] someone can help me when i start teamspeak binary i have this message : This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". [12:05] the only thing I did [12:05] :D [12:05] was change the name of the script, then I changed it back [12:06] and it stopped working [12:08] someone can help me when i start teamspeak binary i have this message : This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb". === Electron is now known as Guest23097 [12:10] guig33k: `apt-get install libx11-xcb1` [12:11] That way you install the X11 implementation of the XCB plugin.

Since this morning I cannot get to my desktop environment anymore: I input my password, it is accepted, the form disappear and nothing more happens. [12:19] Any hint on how can I solve this / keyword to google ? [12:21] Guest23097: gnome fallback. [12:21] ggherdov: Did you recently update to 14.04? [12:22] agent_white: nope, I did the upgrade about 6 months ago. === cia is now known as Guest94048 [12:22] ggherdov: What DE do you have? Unity? [12:22] agent_white: I use the fallback mode for gnome, i.e. gnome 2-ish. [12:23] LANG=hu:en [12:23] ggherdov: Do you have `unity-2d` installed? [12:23] So here's what happening [12:24] I can get to lightdm fine but as soon as I type my password and click login the whole thing freezes and I have to REISUB [12:24] ggherdov: ls -l ~/.Xauthority [12:24] I can't even get to a VT [12:24] agent_white: wait, i'll do CTRL+ALT+F1 and check [12:24] Ben64: checking [12:24] secrettriangle: Listen in on ggherdov's issue, sounds similar. [12:24] agent_white: unity-2d installed. [12:25] * secrettriangle has half a mind to install hackintosh and be done with it [12:26] Ben64: what with the .Xauthority file ? I have three of them. One ~/.Xauthority, and two other with some suffixes (like IDs). [12:26] secrettriangle: Hang in there :) Always worth the learning experience. [12:26] ggherdov: .Xresources / .Xauthority / .Xdefaults ? [12:27] That's normal. [12:27] secrettriangle: Can you access a TTY after login? [12:27] secrettriangle: ctrl+alt+f1 [12:27] secrettriangle: Then do `startx` [12:27] No, I can't [12:28] agent_white: no, ~/.Xauthority , ~/.Xauthority.FOO , ~/.Xauthority.BAR [12:28] Ctrl+Alt+F1 does nothing but freeze the mouse [12:28] secrettriangle: So you have a black screen but your mouse is visible and movable? [12:28] startx is so old, we use 'service lightdm start' now [12:28] ggherdov: Odd, did you make those? Sound like backup files. [12:29] agent_white: no, I get lightdm but can't login [12:29] OerHeks: Oh lawd. I was using xinit until recently ;P [12:29] (i3) [12:30] secrettriangle: can you please describe your problem again? I just joined halfway through but at a glance it may be a problem with your ~/.Xauthority, make sure the permissions of that file are right OR rename it to ~/.Xauthority.old as a backup and X will generate a new one [12:30] secrettriangle: Hm? So you can see the usual lightdm, but when you enter your password, screen goes black but your cursor is still there? [12:30] ^^ [12:31] ggherdov: well what is the output of the command i suggested [12:31] secrettriangle: Pastie.org your `/var/log/lightdm` if you can as well. [12:33] Ben64: copypaste isn't possible. I can tell you: the file exists, last modification 15 minutes ago, permission 600 , I am the owner, size is 157 bytes... what other meaningful info you look for ? [12:33] ggherdov: why isn't it possible? you just typed more characters than the ls command would have outputted [12:34] my name is jay [12:35] http://merrypixmas.com/ [12:36] InteliBlentav, so you want us to click that?

[12:38] ty agent_white but no need for kick [12:38] lol [12:38] InteliBlentav: Oh! Didn't know you were kicked. I disable those IRC messages. :P [12:39] the topic here is strictly adhered to, and for good reason. theres a perfectly fine #ubuntu-offtopic channel for offtopic stuff. use that [12:39] yea [12:39] secrettriangle: Have you removed your .Xauthority file as well? [12:39] but why kick lol [12:39] ask in #ubuntu-ops [12:39] InteliBlentav: Like I said, some folks REALLY don't like offtopic messages. [12:39] !guidelines [12:39] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [12:39] Just go with it.

[12:51] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/disable-unlock-login-keyring-ubuntu-13-04/ [12:53] agent_white, im not using auto login, the prompt displays during the greeter [12:54] fidel__, i think you've got the right idea, but when i shutdown/restart it prompts me again, and oddly the password is back to the original, ie not empty password [12:54] is there a way to use iptables to kill an existing/established tcp connection? [12:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/551950 [12:54] Launchpad bug 551950 in gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) "gnome-bluetooth cannot use pin = 1234" [Medium,Triaged] [12:54] ^ this is exactly what I'm running up against [12:55] I guess bluetooth just isn't supported then? [12:56] j0hnsm1th: Set the keyring passsword to your user password instead of a blank one [12:58] agent_white, thats what its set to currently [12:58] Oh, you didn't set it to a blank password? === Jam_Jar is now known as JamJar [12:58] i did, but when i shutdown/restart, its back to user password [12:58] hello [13:00] agent_white, fidel__ , what files is the application seahorse operating on, can't i just remove all of those to get rid of the keyring so its stops prompting me? [13:01] Is all the UEFI Boot data stored on the HDD? [13:03] If there were any responces could they be repeated plz, I lost connection [13:04] jrtappers, i was here the whole time, no responses... sorry :( [13:04] Don't worry [13:04] Just changing to an SSD, and couldn't remember if the disk holds all of the UEFI data, want to have a fallback if it goes wrong [13:05] j0hnsm1th: http://askubuntu.com/questions/867/how-can-i-stop-being-prompted-to-unlock-the-default-keyring-on-boot/224777#224777 [13:05] And if I can move the HDD to the CD port on laptop, or if that will make it point at the SSD instead of the HDD for the old records [13:05] Check the third answer down. === eyhtern is now known as osdthjoqetge [13:11] agent_white, i've tried those exact steps and it keeps resetting to my user password. my case is slightly different in that im getting the keyring prompt at the greeter, not after i login. === Guest58295 is now known as nesthib [13:12] Huh... before selecting a user? [13:12] Hi. suddenly indicator applet quited and i can't change language. Alt+Tab does't work. What to do? [13:12] agent_white, yup! :) [13:12] * ALt+Shift i mean [13:12] agent_white, during the greeter! [13:13] j0hnsm1th: `rm ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring` [13:13] Or did you already remove that and reboot?

[13:15] j0hnsm1th: How did you create it inthe first place? [13:15] agent_white, during the greeter screen there was an option to "automatically unlock this device" so i clicked it and created keyring through there, on the greeter screen [13:17] so we are editing my users keyrings, but maybe its a keyring for the user that runs the greeter, im guessing? [13:18] hi guys, anyone know if the Broadcom NIC in the Late 2012 Mac Mini is natively supported in Ubuntu 14.04 yet? or whether it still requires patching?

[13:29] nenad: yes [13:30] http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14.04 [13:30] nenad: LTS = LTS for all [13:30] also, whislt i’m here, does anyone know any status of the USB 3.0 support on Ubuntu on Mac Mini?

There's for example OpenShot [14:12] dpkg -l lists all packages. Not just installed ones.

Using cut and xargs did the trick [14:15] Its now removing some 3.8 kernels also [14:15] looks my ssd is spoiled with ancient kernel :) [14:16] what kernel did you originally have kraftb? [14:16] I don't know exactly. Just the default generic image of the old LTS [14:16] Hy all [14:17] Now I upgraded to the new LTS and had problems because I created /boot so small intially [14:17] SUPEREDDY HAS ARRIVED! [14:17] Hi. Since some updates last week (including plymouth and xfce4settings), when I reboot, I don't get a graphical environment. I have to switch to the first text console (ctrl-alt-f1), login and do "startx" to get going. Any ideas? [14:17] !ops | waaaa [14:17] Its an old mistake. Ten years ago you didn't need hundreds of MB for /boot because just the kernel was there. [14:18] Nowadays (in ubuntu times) theres the boot image, a lot of modules for grub. etc. [14:18] one ask to all any one have a lenovo T530 if yes have the bios file for him in rom extension ? [14:18] I guess I will make /boot half a GB from now on. [14:18] But then having encrypted partitions doesn't make sense again :/ [14:18] you need a seperate /boot at all? [14:19] My /root is on an encrypted partitions (using cryptsetup) and / and swap are in an lvm [14:20] I had a separated boot back then to make the whole stuff easier. If I would have assigned enough space this would also be the case. But now I have a lot of problem because of the tiny /boot partition [14:20] excuse me.where i can found folders location of not use file?(such as junk file, temp, etc..).thx. [14:20] (It's 128 MB) [14:20] user1353, what is your goal? [14:20] user1353: /tmp is a thing [14:20] user1353 usually /tmp but some of the files may still be in use by running programs [14:21] how do i disable apache server from starting up at boot. [14:21] I'm trying to have my .Xmodmap executed on login/startup but it won't work. It works when I run it manually. [14:21] gH05t http://askubuntu.com/questions/170640/how-to-disable-apache2-server-from-auto-starting-upon-boot-up [14:23] So. Now all the unnecessary kernel packages are purged. [14:23] pbx, because my free space of /home increased . i want to delete unknown files. [14:23] Which kernel image should I use for Trusty? [14:23] user1353 if you want to free up some space, you may consider removing unused packages with apt-get autoremove [14:23] or a manual remove :) [14:23] pbx, and i must know which the files can be delete without give system crash. [14:24] user1353, the primary temp dirs are all outside of /home. [14:24] I found quite a bunch of packages I never used [14:24] kraftb yes :) [14:24] BTW: Where is a list of installed packages [14:24] user1353: you might benefit from running "du -hs ~/" [14:24] CatKiller, thx. but i need other folders [14:24] I thought it was apt-get list but I'm not sure [14:24] and then drilling down to see what is taking so much space [14:24] Ok. Maybe just dpkg -l | grep ii [14:25] zebra111, ok .thx. i will try use that command. [14:25] But I remember from debian times that there was a list somewhere in /var/lib/apt [14:25] user1353, you can get a list of big files in /home like this: find /home -size +10M -ls [14:25] kraftb: what about the linux-image-generic? [14:25] user1353, have you cleaned up the apt cache?? Usually "sudo apt-get clean" and "sudo apt-get autoclean" will free up some space. [14:26] k1l_: Is this the default? [14:26] I saw some linux-image-trusty [14:26] user1353, wait, what do you mean by "free space of /home increased"? [14:26] kraftb: that is a metapackage which links to the default [14:26] pbx, thx will try it [14:27] i need some help with compiz in ubuntu 14.04 , everyting works exept in 3dcube 3d windws are creating another cube it's off center [14:27] pbx, * that i mean /home and anothers [14:28] CatKiller, i wiil try. [14:28] Heyho - has anyone used SANE with an HP scanner? [14:28] any setting with alighmet with the cube ? [14:28] sorry [14:28] I'm finding that it works fine with the flatbed, but if I use --source ADF all of a sudden the resolution goes right down [14:29] ccapndave my hp printer's auto document feed's max resolution is lower than the max resolution of the flatbed [14:30] not sure about your model though [14:30] CatKiller,"du -hs ~/" command , it is danger?, i have try but i canceled with ctrl+c because when i try, my harddisk led hardwork.i'm sorry. what is that? [14:30] zebra111: I don't think so - I've used it on Windows/OSX and it does high res through ADF [14:30] ok [14:30] CatKiller,* work hard [14:30] user1353 no, it is not danger. [14:30] user1353: yes it's analyzing the drive [14:30] zebra111: Anyway, these are super super low res, like one level of zoom makes it all pixelated [14:30] user1353, du command just reads and totals usage. Nothing dangerous [14:31] scanimage --mode Gray --resolution 300 --format=tiff --batch --source ADF [14:31] That looks ok, right? [14:31] ccapndave, what HP scanner do you have? [14:31] maybe try --resolution 600 [14:31] eric_: Its an Officejet Pro 8600 all in one thingy [14:31] zebra111,ok. [14:31] zebra111: It seems that changed the resolution has no effect [14:31] zebra111: I'm just going to double check that :) [14:32] Most HP scanners with document feeders have lower resolution for the feeder than for the flatbed. [14:32] The reason for the lower resolution is the scanner head stays fixed, and the document feeder moves the document past it, so the movement is less precise [14:32] eric_: This is crazy low though [14:32] eric_: I'm sure its not intended functionality from the scanner [14:32] CatKiller, ok . when i try "du" (without parametre) .the process is fast. but when i use "du -hs ~/" it is slow.ok try again. [14:33] eric_,ok thx. i still try. [14:33] OK. It shouldn't be that much different. Which scanner are you using? [14:33] what model? [14:33] eric_: HP Officejet Pro 8600 [14:33] ccapndave did you check the document resolution with a program like gimp? [14:33] zebra111: I'll have a look in Photoshop [14:34] CatKiller, *ok i will try again [14:34] user1353: It goes at the same speed, "-s" means "summary" so that it doesn't print every single file === Unibob is now known as DJ_Unibob [14:34] zebra111 eric_: So I used "scanimage --mode Gray --resolution 600 --format=tiff --batch --source ADF", but in Photoshop it shows the resolution is 75 [14:35] hm [14:35] With resolution 633x1050 [14:36] ccapndave maybe try scanning it in color [14:36] hello [14:36] zebra111: Ok [14:36] hey guys any setting to put 3d windows back on the cube in compiz ? [14:36] when does ubuntu run daily logrotate? [14:36] CatKiller, ok.thx. still processing.. [14:37] leeyaa: approximately 06:25 [14:37] Seveas: why approximately [14:38] CatKiller, .process is finish. i get info just 2 column. size and path. [14:38] the cron.daily run starts at 06:25, but logrotate isn't the first one in the list [14:38] and if you use anacron, things are different still [14:38] ah i see [14:38] no i use crontab, default configuration for ubuntu 14.04 [14:38] In color it goes completely bonkers - vertical striped lines of different colours over the whole page [14:38] i get it, thanks [14:39] ccapndave that's weird; does color work on your windows computer? [14:39] zebra111: Yes, everything works normally on Windows and OSX [14:39] CatKiller, thx [14:39] zebra111: And it works normally from the flatbed with SANE [14:39] hmm [14:40] should i use a vpn? [14:41] if im just at home [14:41] btw, can i setup logrotate to name rotated log files this way error.log-2014-12-04.gz instead of this way error.log-20141204.gz [14:42] zebra111: Ah - actually color is wrong in the flatbed too [14:42] vpn or no? [14:42] ccapndave try scanimage --test [14:44] zebra111, apt-get autoremove can i manually remove? [14:44] zebra111: https://gist.github.com/ccapndave/268c62955e9ae00a68a1 [14:44] user1353 apt-get autoremove will remove all unused packages [14:45] zebra111, ,ok .thx [14:47] ccapndave something looks wrong; I'm not sure how to fix it though [14:47] zebra111: I don't really have much idea what any of that stuff means [14:48] zebra111, i will check first size before process and after process.for compare.thx [14:48] ccapndave there might be a hp-scan driver; i'll check [14:48] Seveas, Hi, The canonical answer received :) ( About Landscape and proprietary ) [14:48] user1353 it'll tell you how much it will remove at the beginning of the process [14:48] zebra111: Thanks :) I've already installed hplip [14:49] zebra111: Not sure if thats a driver or what [14:49] Seveas, The canonical say's : "Landscape itself is actually the only proprietary tool that we have. It does have API access and is the best tool for managing Ubuntu at scale. [14:49] There is lots of free help and tools online and we suggest that you visit [14:49] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu" [14:49] ccapndave yeah that's the driver [14:49] zebra111, ok sir., thx . [14:49] Seveas, be lucky :) [14:49] zebra111: I have a Debian wheezy machine hanging around too - I'll try on that too just in case [14:50] ccapndave when you downloaded the driver, did you select the right distro, version and printer type/model? [14:50] zebra111: I just did sudo apt-get install hplip [14:50] oh [14:50] zebra111: Then hp-setup, and it detected the printer [14:50] Okay [14:50] eric_, thx.about clean and autoclean, i have save in notes. but now , first i try use autoremove.thx [14:51] http://pastebin.com/DWRTEUTy [14:51] why is this firing every second? [14:51] zebra111: Same in Debian wheezy [14:51] hmm [14:52] javnut: echo $RANDOM just before it. Does it always print 1? [14:52] ccapndave is the color wrong in the flatbed on windows or linux? [14:53] zebra111: Only Linux [14:53] Seveas: good idea, I'll try it [14:53] Yeah I'm not sure :( ccapndave [14:54] zebra111: Ah well, thanks a lot for trying anyway [14:54] zebra111: I'll keep on fiddling [14:54] ccapndave, in linux + photoshop? [14:54] OerHeks: With scanimage directly on the command line [14:55] need some help with compiz in 14.04 i activatewd dual loghin compoz and metacity an can't align the 3d windows on the cube they form outside the cube [14:55] ccapndave try using aquire image in photoshpo on linux [14:55] zebra111: I haven't got Photoshop on linux [14:56] oh [14:56] zebra111: I actually only have a command line [14:56] zebra111: Is there another non-GUI tool I could have a go with to help debug? [14:57] try scanimage -L (to get all devices) [14:57] device `hpaio:/net/Officejet_Pro_8600?zc=HP843497ABD140' is a Hewlett-Packard Officejet_Pro_8600 all-in-one [14:57] I had a question way back, and I never saw an answer. Since some updates last week (including plymouth and xfce4settings), when I reboot, I don't get a graphical environment. I have to switch to the first text console (ctrl-alt-f1), login and do "startx" to get going. Any ideas? [14:58] ccapndave that looks right. I think something is wrong with the driver, maybe try getting it from http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install_wizard/index.html [14:58] zebra111: Ok, I'll have a go and let you know [15:00] hey anyone can help with my compiz isue?

[15:19] must be launch time [15:19] javnut: so echo $RANDOM always prints '1'? [15:20] Seveas: no, I just put sleep random and then the echo [15:20] javnut: that's not what I asked... [15:20] javnut try typing echo $RANDOM a few times and attach the output [15:20] Seveas: I know, but I didn't echo it out [15:21] also, you didn't call $RANDOM you called RANDOM [15:21] or do $(()) negate that somehow? [15:21] SchrodingersScat: that still works inside $(( [15:21] SchrodingersScat: I believe it's supposed to [15:22] javnut: so please do what I asked. Add an echo $RANDOM inside that loop. [15:22] yep, seems to [15:22] Seveas: ok [15:23] could store the $RANDOM% and check it [15:24] SchrodingersScat: I actually have a different hunch, but don't want to accuse javnut of doing something stupid before I have evidence :-) [15:24] javnut: not sure if this is the reason why [15:24] but you have that random in a while loop [15:24] that probably runs 200,000,000 times per sec or something, so its bound to hit "1" [15:24] but it should sleep longer than one at least once [15:25] EriC^^: it doesn't if you sleep for the right amount of seconds :-) [15:26] works as expected on my machine [15:26] Seveas: it returns nothing [15:27] javnut: that explains then. [15:27] nevermind, i think it has to wait for the first sleep to finish to do another [15:27] right [15:27] you've probably set RANDOM to a specific value, once you do that, it loses all special properties [15:27] Seveas: I haven't, not in the script [15:27] Seveas: not really RANDOM=0; then echo $RANDOM still works [15:27] EriC^^: try unset RANDOM [15:27] try RANDOM=43938475 then echo $RANDOM [15:28] yeah it returns 0 [15:28] if you unset it [15:28] but yes, I was wrong with saying 'setting to specific value', only unsetting triggers this [15:29] javnut: also, $RANDOM is a bashism, running the script with /bin/sh or with #!/bin/sh as shbang won't work. [15:29] Seveas: I'm running it with gnome-terminal -e [15:29] well, don't. [15:30] javnut is it on a server or a desktop? [15:30] Seveas: but what if I want to see the output? [15:30] that uses system() I think, which uses /bin/sh [15:30] javnut: run it with bash [15:30] in a running terminal [15:30] Seveas: nope, I need to start it without a terminal [15:31] can I do gnome-terminal -e bash /path/to/script.sh? [15:31] javnut: you're running it in cron? [15:31] javnut: just use #!/bin/bash as shbang [15:31] EriC^^: yeah [15:31] Seveas: yeah, I have it [15:32] then how are you starting it? [15:32] Seveas: cron [15:33] sigh... [15:33] then how are you starting it with cron? [15:33] what command are you running? [15:33] Seveas: scheduled tasks [15:33] you can use gnome-termial -e "/bin/bash -c '/path/to/script.sh'" [15:33] javnut what command is being run in cron? [15:34] javnut: if you want to keep the terminal open after it exits you can use gnome-termial -e "/bin/bash -c '/path/to/script.sh'; exec bash" [15:35] *gnome-terminal [15:35] sorry, gnome-terminal -e "/bin/bash -c '/path/to/script.sh; exec bash'" [15:35] zebra111: gnome-terminal -e /path/to/script.sh [15:36] EriC^^: I don't want the terminal to "stay open" [15:36] I just want it to open, which it doesn't [15:36] not unless I put gnome-terminal [15:36] javnut: yeah [15:36] what for?

Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy [16:13] hello. i am trying to run lubuntu-desktop on Xnest. when i run lxde i use DISPLAY=:1 lxsession. but there is no lubuntu-session. which is the launcher? [16:17] web pages are taking alot more longer to open in mozilla [16:17] some wont open [16:17] i tried google .com and its takint forever to open [16:18] but other sites like craiglist open quickly [16:18] kazdax: sounds like an internet routing problem perhaps, but nothing really that we can fix here, if some sites work fast and others work slow [16:19] in my vm for ubuntu [16:19] it dosnt work properly [16:19] but my host OS works just fine [16:19] in my host OS i type google [16:19] and it opens right there and then [16:19] i try it on my ubuntu mozzla [16:19] it dosnt [16:23] hi all [16:23] о чём тут говорят? [16:23] can anyone tell me how to get ubuntu to detect my external drive, it no longer shows up on the sidebar [16:23] I want to install a good linux distro for a old 512MB RAM laptop.. what is best? Lubuntu or Puppy linux?

[16:24] join #ubuntu-кг [16:24] join #ubuntu-кг [16:25] Josesordo, "best"? how would we know what's "best" for you? but lubuntu should run on that device. here's a thought. buy it, boot it and test it yourself. [16:25] join #ubuntu-ru [16:25] sergej, >>> /join #ubuntu-r [16:25] sergej, >>> /join #ubuntu-ru [16:26] "cfhowlett, you are right.. not the best.. its the most suitable for me xD [16:27] so know why on my host OS google works ..but not on my ubuntu vm ? [16:29] are there any differences between the minimal ubuntu installer and the netboot ubuntu installer? and if so, what are they? [16:29] kazdax, maybe your VM needs more memory, hard to say like this [16:29] its already has 2 gigs [16:29] maybe you could try to do some tests like : route just to show if you could reach the default gateway. [16:29] how do i configure network share folder from windows server to ubuntu 12.04 client [16:30] Just to know, what is your VM network configuration? [16:30] you eman try a ping ? [16:30] bridged [16:30] tell me anyone [16:30] it used to work on NAT [16:30] but then it stopped working on NAT and i changed it to bridge connection [16:31] no, try to show your route table just to know if the default gateway to reach the outside of your VM network is correctly set [16:31] maybe ill try to change it back to NAT and see if it solves the problem [16:31] yea but other sites open [16:31] except for google and a few others i tried [16:31] how to access network resoucres [16:32] how to access network resources in ubuntu 12.04 from windows server [16:32] so how would i get the route table ..if it matters [16:32] strange. Dis you tried some traceroute to google? [16:32] no [16:32] i could try that [16:32] @vm # route -n [16:33] @vm # traceroute google.com [16:33] hello? [16:34] okay i dont have tracesroute installed [16:34] whats the procedure steps [16:35] hmm i cant seem to install traceroute [16:35] because it says connecting and isnt downloading anything [16:35] how do i get ubuntu to detect my SD card again? it stopped do it [16:36] kazdax, apt-get install traceroute doesnt work? === cyphase_ is now known as Guest57770 [16:36] well thats wha ti did ..but its stuck at zero percent [16:37] so you may have a network related problem :p [16:37] ill try activating NAT [16:37] using NAT instead of bridged [16:37] dont know if it helps [16:37] (btw, I don't know what is your VM manager) [16:37] workstation [16:38] how to access network resources using ubuntu 12.04 from window server [16:39] okay its working now [16:39] i changed the configuring to NAT [16:39] :] [16:39] but the NAT will stop working and i have to shift it to bridged [16:39] guess im in the wrong channell [16:39] because this has happened before [16:39] how to do tell me anyone [16:41] mountainhermit, try rebooting with the card plugged in [16:41] ive done it numerous times, no luck [16:41] mountainhermit, or run mount to see if it's listed [16:42] light flashes like its detecting it but it never does [16:42] mountainhermit: "dmesg | tail" after plugging it in, in a pastebin please [16:42] !paste [16:42] 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. [16:49] okay, it shows the card when i bring up "drive" command, but how do I access it? [16:50] :D [16:52] mountainhermit, rub sudo fdisk -l to find the /dev/sdX, X being the card designation [16:52] err run [16:52] what? [16:53] sudo fdisk -l ..simple enough === rheddry is now known as levifig [16:58] helllo [16:58] I found it, but how do i get it to show up in the sidebar to access it? === paulo is now known as paulovap [17:01] mountainhermit, mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdX, whatever letter X was given [17:05] hi all [17:05] is it possible to set schroot to mount the realt /opt into the schroot ? [17:06] is there an advantage to having seperate /tmp, /home and /boot partitions? [17:06] tried it as: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb1 as it is listed as sdb1 was that correct? because it says "only root can do that" === tcpman is now known as Guest72338 [17:07] zebra111, temp and boot not needed, a separate home some like. [17:08] mountainhermit: you can't mount as a user [17:09] mountainhermit, ok use sudo , i should have mentioned that [17:09] zebra111, I've read no convincing argument to support such configurations [17:09] mountainhermit: can you paste "dmesg | tail" as asked? [17:09] in terminal window? [17:09] bubbasaures: You should keep /home together with / now. Ubiquity will allow you to reinstall/upgrade from the install disk without formatting. That preserves /home. [17:09] Nodas, yes [17:09] oops mountainhermit, yes [17:10] command not found [17:10] isantop, That is an opinion and one ubuntu does not officially advise, err and tell a noob not a experienced user and regular helper here === terry is now known as Guest76262 [17:11] I have to go perhaps someone else can help mountainhermit...seems he needs it [17:11] okay got that in [17:12] BBL [17:12] bubbasaures: In the installer, it will ask if you want to "Reinstall Ubuntu XX.xx" or "Upgrade Ubuntu XX.xx to YY.yy". That's what that option does. [17:13] I just shut down my system and it takes ages with a black screen. How do I get to a console? C-A-D, C-A-F1-F7 and similar didn't work [17:13] isantop, Why are you talking to me, I asked no question, this is not chat help those that ask for help. === Guest9784 is now known as Sleepnbum [17:14] phre4k, To a console from? your bad shutdown? [17:15] bubbasaures: yes [17:15] did a hard reset now. [17:15] phre4k, Probably not one from the shutdown, reisub would be the most I do [17:15] !reisub [17:15] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [17:16] phre4k, Sounds like graphic issues, not something I'm best help in [17:18] bubbasaures: well, I now rebooted and got to a black screen again. May be not a shutdown but a startup issue... [17:18] I'll look in the Xorg.0.log [17:18] phre4k, Try a nomodeset or failsafe X boot and look at the graphics, or at wht you have done you have not mentioned. === onrul is now known as Guest28281 [17:19] bubbasaures: disabled legacy option ROM in the UEFI, I hope this solves it [17:19] Hi [17:19] Mayer, hii [17:19] Hi rahul [17:19] bubbasaures: cold booting works, only warm booting doesnt === ra21vi is now known as msg === msg is now known as ra21vi [17:20] phre4k, Ah, no idea, really the info so far in all of it UEFI is the only key info so far.

[17:43] probably something along the lines of not being booted into the install yet [17:43] and can I use pam-auth-update to add pam_mkhomedir.so or do I have to do it manually. [17:43] daftykins: well, I booted into the installed system already. [17:44] oic [17:44] oh not heard of that command before btw [17:44] i know of "dpkg --get-selections > file" === boobbutt is now known as aKeg [17:48] good afternoon [17:49] good morning [17:51] as you can see l'm just as my name says name and age living in Toronto Ontario Canada anyone else like me here [17:52] anna64, this isn't a social channel. ask your ubuntu support questions [17:52] anna64: that's nice but this is an ubuntu support channel, not a chat channel [17:53] great then how do l get to a chat location then ?

[17:59] hello vic [17:59] I think bash___ wants to get all lines from the log file from a certain time range [18:00] yeah but what's the format of the time stamp [18:00] bash___, more file | grep timestamp range ?? [18:01] i am having some problems with monodevelo [18:01] monodevelop [18:01] EriC^^: I mean. I want to cat or tail or sed a log to see what happened between 4 and 6 pm on Dec. 2nd. [18:01] can anyone help me? [18:01] bash___: ok what's the timestamp look like? [18:02] Dec 15 16:00:00.000 [18:02] vic, monodevelo no doubt provides their own direct support [18:02] vic, ask your real question and find out?

[18:28] ive used the sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser method, still asks to make it default [18:31] bynarie does firefox prompt you (with a gui) to make it the default browser? [18:32] Hello, thought I'd try this. First time in IRC for about 15 years [18:32] zebra111, yes but i think i got it figured out.. i just unticked the "prompt for default" on the firefox settings tab [18:34] i'm not able to get into my samba shared harddisk which is server by a sitecom x7 router. [18:34] nick07: via what method? [18:34] the share name is /hd/ and i see it in the network, but i cannot open the folder [18:35] ehm method, what do you mean exactly? [18:35] ok so you're using nautilus [18:35] graphically trying to look at it [18:36] yes nautlius [18:36] nick07: what i would do is install smbclient and try a test connect from the terminal [18:36] ok, let me see [18:36] one moment [18:36] "smbclient //mypc/myshare" [18:37] smbcient isn't samab itslef right, because i have samba installed also on ubuntu [18:37] sorry typo [18:37] any of you guys here programmed in libusb from ubuntu? [18:37] separate packages [18:37] ok i look in to the software manager [18:38] How can I add extra mirrors to apt-get from the command line?

[18:43] 13.04 >13.10> 14.04 i would go for a fresh install [18:43] yes i have, in the usb settings, it set on samba share and has a login (admin) and pass [18:43] what is my /usr/bin/local/ directory for? [18:44] nick07: ok try "smbclient //router IP/share -U username" [18:44] ok..

[18:47] cfhowlett: there's me and living dangerously on freenode again [18:47] is chmod -R o-rwx . safe or am i forgetting something [18:48] notmorpheus: what do you mean safe [18:48] ah ok [18:48] i changed umask and adduer.conf so that others perms would be disabled [18:48] i am wanting to lock down what's already on the box heh [18:49] notmorpheus: Yeah, that would work. [18:49] i don' see anything weird in there [18:49] a log named log.%m [18:49] nick07: what version of ubuntu is this? [18:49] rypervenche: thanks [18:50] uhm, there is a ls command right [18:50] ehm [18:50] wat [18:50] ehm a command to see the version [18:51] "cat /etc/issue" [18:51] or "lsb_release -a" [18:51] ow sorry [18:51] notmorpheus: Personally, I like to use the find command to give all of my files and directories specific permissions, but yeah. chmod will get it done :) [18:51] rypervenche: true true [18:52] rypervenche: i just wanted to make sure i wasn't forgetting something since most folders are r-x under / in Ubuntu [18:52] for other i mean [18:52] notmorpheus: you're doing that on your home dir right? [18:52] Nope! [18:52] hehe [18:52] i wanted to do it -R from root [18:52] oh my [18:52] what for? [18:53] it is 14.10 [18:53] >_< [18:53] notmorpheus: The only reasons you would need permissions on other is if you need others to be able to see the things in there. Often you would need execute on directories if you're using is as a web server document root. [18:53] notmorpheus: Doooooon't do that. Only do it in your home directories. [18:53] rypervenche: ok, will stick to dirs under /home [18:53] thanks [18:54] it makes sense under home. don't want a cracked account to be able to see other people's home contents [18:54] but i suppose for anything outside of there it doesn't make sense [18:54] notmorpheus: Yep. I always make my home dirs 700. [18:55] wouldn't o-rwx keep someone on a cracked account from viewing system configuration files etc though? [18:55] since they can't switch to root and also can't read as other (files owned by root:root) [18:56] notmorpheus: It would, but it would also keep some services from being able to view them. [18:56] truth. ok. good enough then :-) [18:56] !info tripwire | notmorpheus you might find this useful [18:56] notmorpheus you might find this useful: tripwire (source: tripwire): file and directory integrity checker. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.4.2.2-4 (utopic), package size 1296 kB, installed size 9122 kB [18:57] weird is, i can see the harddisk as a folder in network, but i cannot click it [18:58] nick07: yeah, did you try and install some samba packages on your machine before trying to do this then? [18:58] i already had samba installed [18:59] is that a problem? [18:59] not sure, there's just not much point unless you're sharing too [18:59] so you say, uninstall samba [18:59] nope [19:00] oh... what file system is on the disk? maybe it's not supported by the router [19:00] I install samba just for the machine to participate on a windows network [19:00] that's nice but not particularly relevant here [19:01] see this image, it's the same as my settings: https://www.gebruikershandleiding.com/bestanden1/567242/bg28.png [19:02] nick07: except with a password entered? [19:02] yes, i entered a password, but i always shows blank [19:02] *it [19:03] nick07: i can only suggest making sure you click apply, then try rebooting the router and ubuntu machine to see if anything changes [19:03] otherwise i suspect your disk isn't set up right, as i don't think smbclient failing is a good sign [19:04] USB ubuntu install issue: Are there any specific "rules" on how to create an ubuntu usb drive ? - i have tried 2 different USB sticks but i get the same error on both. I checked the md5 sum to be sure it was not the ISO. I am using the universal USB installer. http://i57.tinypic.com/mic2eo.jpg is the error i get(can this be a bios issue ?) [19:04] so i go to network i see workgroup and click on it, i see smbserver (then url changes to smb://smbserver/ and then nothing [19:04] O this issue is a problem for months now, i did a reboot, firmware update other ubuntu's ect already [19:05] nick07: firmware update on the router? have you factory reset it since? [19:05] some people said that i might be a harddisk root problem === Blaster is now known as crazynuts === crazynuts is now known as Blaster [19:05] nick07: i would confirm from a windows computer if you can. i have a feeling it's not working for other OSs [19:05] yes factory reset yesterday [19:06] cromag: hmm looks interesting, 'sde' - lots of hard disks in that computer? [19:06] mm, no windows... :( [19:06] daftykins: 3 ssd disks [19:06] well 2.. [19:06] cromag: is there some kind of memory card reader connected? [19:06] that might account for drives from sda to sde [19:07] but maybe dumb question, but isn't a samba share great to use on linux and should i work perfectly? [19:07] daftykins: there is, thats where i placed the USB stick, both for writing and reading [19:07] *it [19:07] cromag: oh good lord, pull that sucker out and connect the drive to the motherboard USB instead. preferably USB 2.0 - [19:08] this is connected to some USB on the back. [19:08] i'll give it a go either way - i'll get back to you :) [19:08] nick07: yeah, but then we can't really trust silly router implementations [19:09] yo, how do I get a service to not run on boot? [19:09] tried: sudo update-rc.d mongod disable [19:10] could the problem lay in formatting the drive IN linux to fat32? [19:10] got this: http://hastebin.com/raw/aqotutasus [19:10] nick07: what does the router manual say it needs to be? [19:10] assuming I don't wish to "LSBize" the script, is there a manual way to disable it that will allow me to start it manually if desired? [19:10] stepping away from computer for a moment so TIA [19:11] fat 32/ntfs [19:11] nick07: what's in the router logs too? anything samba related on that end>? [19:11] it's definitely worth a go connecting the drive to the computer and nuking it properly to see if it makes a difference [19:12] daftykins: i might need to ask differently. My goal is actually yo install Ubuntu ON the USB drive. So i have 2 sticks, one to install from, and one to install to. Is there any more "correct" way to achieve this ? === ara is now known as Guest76817 [19:12] oh :( why on earth do you want to do that? [19:13] nothing [19:13] i really don't want to boot the live USB evertime.. [19:13] cromag: so these two SSDs you don't want to install to them at all? 0o [19:13] (ubuntu on the go) [19:13] correct [19:13] If i hang the usb ssd drive on the laptop, the only one that has read and write acces is the owner(me) [19:13] so use Universal USB Installer to add some persistence to the drive - is that what you did? [19:13] group and other is set to none [19:14] could that be an issue? [19:14] you can't have permissions on FAT [19:14] daftykins: i have not added persistence to it, as i thought the solution with the other USB stick would be better, as i can only set 4gb in the installer. [19:14] and the stick is 16.. [19:15] cause of fat maybe.. === Guest76817 is now known as ararob [19:15] anyone know why partman stops at No volume groups found when I am not using lvm? trying to preseed a box [19:15] cromag: better way would be to boot from DVD then install to the one drive with the actual SSDs/HDDs in the system disconnected [19:16] cromag: well no you can't install to FAT, you'd need to nuke the drive and create ext4 partitions. you'd need to create no swap with a flash drive too, else you'll kill it [19:16] so group and others set to none is defenatly not the problem? [19:16] can i get 2x MSAA (antialiasing) from the MESA intel driver ? [19:16] nick07: plug the drive into the computer and run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [19:18] #daftykins #linuxgrandwizard [19:18] daftykins: that was my initial idea (the dvd/cd version) and i just now found my stack of writeable stuff...

I had a contact before but doesn't seem to be online right now [19:18] If you don't mind i will try that tommorrow, my dad had closed the connection which i had through teamviewer [19:19] excuse for that [19:19] nm found it: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting [19:19] JavaJosh: ;) [19:19] may i ask what you would try to do?

[19:50] comand seems to have worked [19:50] *command [19:51] raschy_: "ls /mnt" [19:51] should see your usual / contents [19:51] daftykins: well i know they don't have the same IP right now but I think the static IP might fall in the range of DHCP IP's [19:51] yep seems to be all there [19:52] earnThis: yeah that's a bad move. why would you have TWO connections to the same network? :P [19:52] raschy_: cool, backing up to that 1TB WD my passport is it? [19:52] yep [19:52] as it's NTFS that won't maintain permissions [19:52] so you may have some fun there [19:52] but copy and paste, then restore, then chmod + chown will put that right [19:53] daftykins: I working with a lab network and its my only way out to the internet [19:53] earnThis: ok but you should use a different subnet for the second NIC and enable IP forwarding. [19:54] or just bridge [19:55] daftykins: is there a way to quickly show what my dhcp range is so i can know not to statically set IP's in there? [19:55] yeah, on your router web admin.

By masquerading itself as a PE/COFF image and appearing to the firmware as a UEFI application, an x86 kernel image with EFI Boot Stub enabled can be directly loaded and executed by a UEFI firmware. Such kernel images can still be loaded and run by BIOS-based boot loaders; thus, EFI Boot Stub allows a single kernel image to work in any [21:10] boot environment" [21:11] that's pretty cool [21:12] ararob, sccording to 'our' manual, x86 and UEFI can be a hassle, besides the question if all hardware is supported in 32 bit.

[21:41] :( [21:41] guntbert: daftykins: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1301015/comments/33 # TL;DR is to edit the init script to actually do the work. [21:41] Launchpad bug 1301015 in ifupdown (Ubuntu) "Networking does not restart" [High,Confirmed] [21:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9533165/ [21:42] papamoose: yep just reading that now :) pretty horrified that it's going ignored, i thought that was another reason to this drama but i see it's just turning into an argument that's falling on deaf ears :( [21:42] any packages it does thatr [21:42] GuyThatNeedsHelp: what did you do? [21:43] nothing [21:43] And this is why ubuntu needs a backup restore feature [21:43] i was HACKED [21:43] For fuckups like this lol [21:43] GuyThatNeedsHelp: so what did you do before all this? "nothing" is not the right answer [21:43] daftykins: I dont mind them changing to upstart or $init_system, or some new way... it just maddening that the new way doesn't work. [21:43] MrSavage: that language is not acceptable here. you should know this by now. [21:43] sorry, it's a habit [21:44] you best fix it else you'll have to be shown the door [21:44] GuyThatNeedsHelp http://askubuntu.com/questions/13065/how-do-i-fix-the-gpg-error-no-pubkey [21:44] rap424: yes. it shows the usb drive there as bootable media in the bios boot menu, but when i select it, it simply says no operating system is currently installed [21:44] zebra111: yes, that is what i told him to do. he already used the y-ppa-manager [21:45] tonyg_: How did you create the image on the USB? [21:45] What about sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8BAF9A6F then sudo apt-get update? [21:45] tonyg_, maybe you need to set it in 2 places, boot device priority and hdd priority ? [21:45] zebra111: i am more curious what did lead to this situation. [21:45] on my machine the usb appears under hdd too [21:46] using the ubuntu startup disk creator with an ubuntu 14.04 server iso [21:47] zebra111 I think you will then need to add the key with 'apt-key add' [21:47] rberg_ yeah I just quoted the instructions from the link so I'm not sure :( [21:48] the last to error lines show a wrong dpkg status. [21:48] *two [21:48] zebralll: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9533233/ [21:49] GuyThatNeedsHelp: you already have the y-ppa-manager. you installed all the ppas with that [21:49] *facepalm* [21:49] GuyThatNeedsHelp: dont just blindly type commands into the terminal. this is the reason your system is messed up all the time. [21:49] what about sudo apt-get install --fix-missing guythatneedshelp [21:50] GuyThatNeedsHelp: as i said before: lauch the ppy-manager and press the button i told you [21:52] GuyThatNeedsHelp: so give feedback if it worked or not.

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [22:25] hello, i'm having an issue where audio takes several minutes to start after the system goes into sleep [22:27] does anyone have any ideas [22:28] I don't think the system can play audio while it's hibernating finetundra [22:29] don't sleep? :) [22:29] If i want to run a cronjob as another user, like sudo -H -u anotheruser should I put that in: sudo crontab -e or just crontab -e? [22:29] sleep != hibernate [22:30] zebra111, i guess i worded that badly. the audio takes several minutes to come up after coming out of sleep/suspend [22:30] oh [22:30] daftykins what's the difference? [22:30] daftykins, its a laptop so i kinda want it to while the lid's closed so as not to waste battery === MeltedLux is now known as MeltedDed [22:31] mmm good luck with that [22:31] i'm figuring on just reinstalling. [22:33] Try caffiene for linux finetundra (maybe) [22:33] Err ... [22:34] then you have to tell whatever desktop you are running to only lock the screen and not put it in sleep or hibernation when closing the lid [22:34] because in neither states you can have it play music [22:34] that would help on a desktop however as i said i'm on a laptop [22:34] test a live session first, i wouldn't reinstall just for that [22:35] hi!!! [22:35] daftykins, already have, live sessions work fine. [22:35] Hi Alix [22:35] o rly [22:35] yep, was running one yesterday [22:36] well those'd differ on kernels of course [22:36] but i dunno [22:36] true. i also just updated. could that be a part of it? [22:37] worth a test! [22:37] ok then. i'll be back === dts|pokeball is now known as dts [22:40] hi [22:43] anyone know why preseed is hangs if the partman-auto/expert_recpipe string only has a single root partition without swap? [22:43] recipe? recpipe? [22:43] ponyofdeath when the ram is full and there is no swap, it is impossible to create new memory [22:44] unless a program gives up its memory of course [22:44] Hello all [22:44] zebra111: you can't just reply to people with a generic secondary school level of IT education :| [22:45] Sorry :(. How should I respond in the future daftykins? [22:46] if you don't know the topic, don't [22:46] so kernel ending in 39 works fine for audio however i'm still greeted with an error and there are various other issues [22:48] what is the name of the calculator used in vanilla Ubuntu? [22:48] daftykins : c'mon, give him some credit, he is trying to help, and not everyone is a full grown linux guru [22:48] i'm not advanced either, but you're just wasting someones time if you don't know the topic [22:48] What daftykins is saying is true === beisner- is now known as beisner [22:48] epyx: gnome calculator [22:48] I wouldn't want someone to just sorta-ish-not-really help me [22:49] zebra111: yeah but when you are doing lots of vm's [22:49] xangua, thanks [22:49] hello [22:49] zebra111: i dont want the underlying storage to get taken down because vm's start swapping [22:49] aight, i stand corrected [22:49] i am also constantly getting the report error pop-up [22:49] ponyofdeath Sorry, I'm not sure :(.

[22:52] LOL :D [22:52] well not really [22:52] but I don't see the point of having it there if it's not used [22:52] these are the thoughts i go through when i consider removing a single package [22:53] is it possible to see all cronjobs being carried out in a shell? [22:54] i mean literally seeing them being executed [22:54] Lunario: hrrm not tat I'm aware of yut you may or may not know the output of crons gets sent in the local mail to the user ronunnig them [22:55] Lunario: just for testing you could run it in a gnome-terminal [22:55] Lunario: also, you could setup logging-wrapper within the script etc etc.. ?? nt rreally clear what you are doing in what circumstance etc etc [22:56] well, i want to make a cronjob for regurarly miroring a website (with wget). And I would like to have a terminal open all the time (with screen or sth. like that) in which I can see whenever wget is mirroring the website [22:58] are canonical making a profit yet on the Ubuntu project?

[23:19] about how slow it is? [23:19] but why is it so slow? [23:20] alesan: what about exFAT? [23:20] daftykins, what about it [23:21] i don't know your original question but you said file size limit of FAT and slow NTFS, so why not exFAT? :P [23:21] isn't exfat also a user space driver? [23:21] I'd assume it is as slow as NTFS for that reason...? [23:22] don't know what you're up to [23:23] I need to copy some big files to a external hard disk, to be used on windows also [23:23] get a better disk [23:24] alesan: mount that external hd as noatime -.- [23:24] daftykins, why? in FAT mode is very fast [23:25] uh-huh [23:25] Chuck_Norris, but I am just writing few files === dts is now known as BillsPC [23:26] noatime will improve permormance, idk how much faster will be, but...

[23:43] Because I tried making nemo as my default file manager before and it was very hackish and firefox would not change to the different file manager [23:44] MrSavage: maybe if you dpkg-reconfigure nemo it will set it [23:44] it's a long shot [23:45] EriC^^, what does that command do? [23:46] it reconfigures the installed package [23:46] EriC^^, and you think it will fix firefox? === Termana is now known as Guest38653 [23:47] EriC^^, it didn't work [23:47] it's a very long shot, cause i think it runs when you install nemo anyways === genii is now known as ChristmasPresent === ChristmasPresent is now known as genii [23:49] how do I reset an iPod Shuffle using Ubuntu (if it's even possible) [23:50] EriC^^, it didn't work btw [23:50] when i clicked recycle bin [23:50] you'd have to log out and in for a change surely [23:50] ah [23:51] brb then [23:51] hello everyone [23:51] MrSavage: xdg-mime default nemo.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search source: https://sites.google.com/site/installationubuntu/tweaking-ubuntu/change-default-filemanager [23:59] Why do people like dolphin it seems kind of bad
