| DarkAceZ | how do I change the nofile limit? I already edited /etc/security/limits.conf and restarted, but ulimit -n still shows my old value (1024) | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| bekks | DarkAceZ: Then what exactly did you put into that file? | 00:01 |
| DarkAceZ | * hard nofile 65535 | 00:02 |
| DarkAceZ | * soft nofile 65535 | 00:02 |
| bekks | I dont think wildcards will work at that point. | 00:02 |
| teaearlgraycold | Should NVidia's drivers show up in the "Additional Drivers" section? | 00:02 |
| DarkAceZ | they're in examples | 00:02 |
| pawprint | how can i check which version of ubntu i'm running? | 00:02 |
| teaearlgraycold | Because they're not | 00:02 |

| DarkAceZ | what should I put there? my user? | 00:03 |

| ActionParsnip | DarkAceZ: np dude | 00:07 |
| teaearlgraycold | Okay nomodeset got me to the desktop but I installed nvidia-331 and I still get a black screen on boot | 00:08 |
| teaearlgraycold | I really just want to wipe my SSD at this point :P | 00:09 |
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: did you disable nomodeset at this point? | 00:09 |
| teaearlgraycold | Yes | 00:09 |
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: boot a live session, mount the disk and pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the install | 00:10 |
| teaearlgraycold | Thanks but I really am overdue for a system reset at this point. I'll get a live boot going though | 00:11 |
| teaearlgraycold | My windows partition's super screwed (has been since MS botched the 7 update) | 00:11 |
| daftykins | this isn't a place to speak of Windows woes | 00:11 |
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: so it wasn't a 14.04.1 clean install? | 00:12 |
| teaearlgraycold | No | 00:12 |

| teaearlgraycold | Yeah maybe | 00:12 |
| daftykins | hang on let me see if i can confirm | 00:12 |
| teaearlgraycold | So I'd have to do 14.10 on my reinstall? | 00:12 |

| hypoon | Hi everyone, I've been asked to help fix an Ubuntu desktop computer, but I'm more of a Gentoo guy myself, so I'm completely stumped over what could be causing the current issue. | 00:13 |
| daftykins | hypoon: what's going on? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hypoon: what symptoms do you see? | 00:14 |
| ActionParsnip | hypoon: both are linux based so not a million miles of difference | 00:14 |
| hypoon | It appears that the system was interrupted during an upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04. Now the system boots when I choose the second newest kernel, but does not boot when I choose the newest kernel. | 00:15 |
| teaearlgraycold | So what should I do? | 00:15 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest62909 | ||
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: yeah you need newer than the 331. | 00:15 |
| teaearlgraycold | Can I get a .deb or something for a newer version? | 00:15 |
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: up to you, nuke it and put a clean 14.04.1 on if you want, or work on this install. | 00:15 |
| hypoon | The system is running a RAID1 setup, and mdadm complains about creating a group disk repetitively when I choose the most recent kernel. | 00:16 |
| daftykins | teaearlgraycold: two choices, add the xorg-edgers PPA, or download and install manually from nvidia | 00:16 |
| teaearlgraycold | Nah, gotta nuke. It's over a year old | 00:16 |
| teaearlgraycold | Alright, thanks | 00:16 |
| daftykins | well you might as well get it working now to know it will beforehand | 00:16 |
| daftykins | hope you purged all the fglrx junk | 00:16 |
| === Jasaka|2 is now known as Jasaka | ||
| teaearlgraycold | daftykins, didn't | 00:16 |
| daftykins | seriously... | 00:17 |
| teaearlgraycold | gg | 00:17 |
| teaearlgraycold | Momentum's too strong, my live USB drive's almost done | 00:17 |
| hypoon | The system boots successfully on 3.13.0-37, but fails on 3.13.0-43. | 00:17 |
| teaearlgraycold | Don't want to fiddle around with it for another hour - gonna do what I know will work | 00:17 |
| daftykins | except that until i shared, you didn't :) | 00:18 |
| daftykins | hypoon: so set 37 as default and be happy \o/ | 00:18 |
| hypoon | daftykins: That's the backup plan, but I'd like to fix the underlying problem if I can. | 00:19 |
| dasjoe | hypoon: boot into -37 and check "dkms status" for missing modules in -43 | 00:19 |
| hypoon | mdadm says "create group disk not found", repeatedly in an infinite loop (when I choose -43). Ok, dkms status, running it now... | 00:20 |
| hypoon | "nvidia-304, 304.125, 3.13.0-37-generic, x86_64: installed" | 00:20 |
| daftykins | totally irrelevant, i would say | 00:21 |
| hypoon | but, of course, that's for -37. I don't know anything about DKMS, I don't use it in Gentoo. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | well it's the debian kernel module system | 00:21 |
| daftykins | it handles module management on kernel upgrade | 00:21 |
| pbx | EriC^^, thanks for the tip. i've asked the question many times and never gotten that lead | 00:22 |
| daftykins | but i think lsmod comparisons would be more relevant here, except of course you can't boot with -43 can you? | 00:22 |
| hypoon | nope, can't get in with -43. | 00:22 |
| EriC^^ | pbx: no problem | 00:22 |
| hypoon | I did my best to finish the distribution upgrade myself, by using apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, dpkg --configure -a, and apt-get install -f. I must have borked something somewhere. | 00:24 |
| hypoon | I tried rebuilding the initramfs, using update-initramfs -c -k all, but that didn't seem to do anything | 00:24 |
| hypoon | I tried update-grub, that didn't seem to help anything either. | 00:25 |
| hypoon | (all the commands seemed to function correctly, they just didn't help solve the problem) | 00:25 |
| daftykins | hypoon: this any good? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/1335642 | 00:25 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1335642 in mdadm (Ubuntu) "mdadm runs into infinite loop and prevents initrd/initramfs phase to finish on boot" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:25 |

| EriC^^ | pbx: use if ( upower --monitor-detail | grep -qs discharging ); then bash /script/to/brightness; fi | 00:26 |
| hypoon | daftykins: does not appear to be the same problem | 00:26 |
| notmorpheus | Does anyone know how to make a bundle file from a crt file? | 00:27 |
| hypoon | I get "mdadm: CREATE group disk not found" in a loop, without any other lines. | 00:27 |
| EriC^^ | pbx: add an else for when it's charging, you might need to add a sleep before the if incase it runs too quickly before upower | 00:27 |
| hypoon | I just got an update prompt asking me to get updated software for the computer, including kernel upgrades, headers, extra modules, etc... Why wouldn't apt-get have already gotten these? | 00:28 |
| Mendax | hey | 00:29 |
| daftykins | hypoon: meh, it was in the results :> | 00:29 |
| Mendax | having a problem installing kali | 00:29 |
| daftykins | Mendax: it is not supported in here | 00:29 |
| Mendax | gives me a beep and a blinking cursor when trying to installl it | 00:29 |
| daftykins | join #kali-linux | 00:29 |

| hypoon | Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers, Generic Linux kernel headers, Generic Linux kernel image, Header files related to Linux kernel version 3.13.0, Linux kernel extra modules for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP, Linux kernel headers for version 3.13.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP | 00:32 |
| hypoon | I guess I'll try installing those? | 00:32 |
| bashfr3ak | so i gave the acl option to an ext4 fs in fstab but i see no acl in mount output? | 00:32 |
| daftykins | hypoon: why? | 00:32 |
| alex_nub1 | hypoon apt-get dist-upgrade? | 00:32 |
| hypoon | daftykins: because they're there? | 00:32 |
| hypoon | alex_nub1: I don't think I tried that | 00:33 |
| daftykins | lol, making it up as you go along eh | 00:33 |
| wlxmhls | xubuntu lubuntu , which is faster / friendly | 00:33 |
| daftykins | well i would surely hope said install was updated before coming in here with a problem | 00:33 |
| daftykins | hypoon: that's sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # btw | 00:33 |
| hypoon | daftykins: I thought I got all the updates apt-get had available, and then it presents me with more all of a sudden in the GUI. | 00:33 |
| k1l_ | wlxmhls: focus of lubuntu is lightweight and older /small systems | 00:33 |
| hypoon | daftykins: I guess dist-upgrade does more than just upgrade? | 00:34 |
| daftykins | hypoon: nope | 00:34 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: it installs packages that are needed for updateing other packages. but its not a 14.04 to 14.10 upgrade | 00:35 |
| Bashing-om | wlxmhls: AND :: Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. | 00:35 |
| wlxmhls | k1l_: thanks. is it more friendly than xubuntu? | 00:35 |
| hypoon | k1l_: That's exactly what I was trying to avoid, I don't want to upgrade to 14.10 | 00:35 |
| k1l_ | wlxmhls: what is more friendly? its not like xubuntu is shouting at you | 00:35 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: it does not upgrade to 14.10 | 00:36 |
| pbx | energy saving? | 00:36 |
| hypoon | apt-get upgrade does nothing. apt-get dist-upgrade suggests some updates... | 00:36 |
| wlxmhls | k1l_: i am using xubuntu now, so I am not sure if I can get used to lubuntu | 00:37 |
| k1l_ | wlxmhls: do you need to change then? | 00:37 |
| alex_nub1 | wlxmhls try it in a vm. Both are good | 00:37 |
| hypoon | So what's the difference between dist-upgrade and upgrade? *goes googling* | 00:37 |
| HZun | in the ubuntu mini.iso expert installer, you have the option to "Detect virtual driver disks from hardware manufacturer", what exactly does this do? | 00:37 |
| k1l_ | !dist-upgrade | hypoon | 00:38 |
| ubottu | hypoon: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 00:38 |
| Bashing-om | hypoon: "dist-upgrade" installs new packages. whereas "update' does not . | 00:38 |
| hypoon | Bashing-om: update appeared to be refreshing apt-get's cache, but it certainly didn't install anything at all. | 00:39 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: apt-get update just gets a new package list from server | 00:40 |
| hypoon | k1l_: right, that was my understanding. | 00:40 |
| wlxmhls | k1l_: my laptop is a very old, and I want it more effective. I will try lubuntu. thanks! | 00:40 |
| hypoon | k1l_: so apt-get update refreshes the local package db, apt-get dist-upgrade does a system update, and apt-get upgrade does... what? | 00:41 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: 1sst: yes, 2nd yes, 3rd: it updates packages that are installed and dont need to install new packages | 00:41 |
| daftykins | hypoon: already explained above. | 00:41 |
| alex_nub1 | Dist upgrade may add new packages while upgrade only updates old ones | 00:42 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: example: the kernel image is a meta package which just links to the real package. you need "dist-upgrade" to install the new real kernel package when the meta package gets updated | 00:42 |
| alex_nub1 | Im reinstalling tomorrow btw. Fucked my system. | 00:43 |
| hypoon | I think I get it now. I don't entirely understand why it's useful, but I'm OK with that. Ubuntu's not my cup of tea I guess.... | 00:43 |
| hypoon | Alright all, thanks for the help! If it doesn't work, I'll be back in 5. | 00:43 |
| k1l_ | hypoon: that is a bit confusing since its grown over the years. really really way back it was used for release-upgrades like 14.04-14.10 upgrades, so now its use is other than the names might sound | 00:44 |
| alex_nub1 | hypoon its debian. Its the "stable" way of upgrading | 00:44 |
| daftykins | it's totally gonna make no difference. but ah well | 00:44 |
| EriC^^ | alex_nub1: what's the problem? | 00:44 |
| hypoon | k1l_: Oooh, THAT is something I can see happening. | 00:44 |
| alex_nub1 | EriC^^ ecryptfs | 00:44 |
| EriC^^ | pbx: if you end up using it let me know, you might need to modify the grep cause it might hang waiting for upower when it's charging, so grep for something it'll find for sure then take the status ( or awk it ) | 00:45 |
| hypoon | Thanks again, I've got my fingers crossed whether this is expected to work or not. | 00:45 |
| hid | hello | 00:48 |
| hid | i'd like to know how to uninstall the previous dependencies i installed? :/ | 00:48 |
| EriC^^ | hid: sudo apt-get autoremove | 00:49 |
| EriC^^ | hid: /var/log/apt/history.log has a list of recently installed packages | 00:49 |
| hid | EriC^^: what is after 'autoremove' ? | 00:50 |
| EriC^^ | nothing | 00:50 |
| hid | because i tried but it says there's nothing to remove :/ | 00:50 |
| EriC^^ | hid: what are you doing exactly? | 00:50 |
| EriC^^ | what are you trying to uninstall? | 00:51 |
| hid | i installed some qt dependencies but in fact i didn't need them | 00:51 |
| hid | around 50Mb | 00:51 |
| EriC^^ | check the apt log and remove them | 00:52 |
| alex_nub1 | OT: i wonder who would care about 50mb | 00:52 |
| alex_nub1 | 240gb ssd is 80€ | 00:52 |
| hid | EriC^^: apt-get remove blabla? | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | hid: check what will be uninstalled if you remove them though | 00:52 |
| EriC^^ | hid: yeah, or purge blabla | 00:52 |
| hid | ok thank you | 00:53 |
| GeekDude | is there a list of all the applications that come installed on ubuntu 14.04 desktop by default? | 01:03 |
| daftykins | why? | 01:03 |
| GeekDude | I'm just wondering | 01:03 |
| Stanley00 | GeekDude: how about boot up a ubuntu 14.04 live cd and run "dpkg --get-selections" to get that list? | 01:05 |
| GeekDude | That's not a bad idea | 01:05 |
| OerHeks | some info https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes | 01:06 |
| EriC^^ | GeekDude: yeah there is | 01:06 |
| EriC^^ | GeekDude: less /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | 01:06 |

| sasha_ | Greetings. Does anyone know command line syntax to open .csv (comma separated values) files using LibreOffice? | 01:09 |
| Stanley00 | sasha_: why not "libreoffice file.csv" ? | 01:10 |
| ablest | hi | 01:11 |
| ablest | i need some help | 01:11 |
| Stanley00 | ablest: hi, just ask your questions here :3 | 01:11 |
| ablest | im getting cl_flushentitypacket in cs 1.6 im on ubuntu steam os | 01:11 |
| ablest | virus? | 01:12 |
| EriC^^ | i think it's a opencl error? | 01:12 |
| ablest | what do i do? | 01:12 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: I need a way to specify the delimiter options, along with opening the file, otherwise it will need me to manually intervene and set the delimiter options on the popup window. | 01:13 |
| Stanley00 | sasha_: why? You will end up "intervene" with the file at last. Using mouse and select options is faster than type all the options in commandline (if there's any) | 01:16 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| sasha_ | Stanley00: The final goal is to never load the GUI. The command will open the .csv file and run a macro and then close. This operation will be run every hour via cron job. It's updating products for a website. | 01:18 |
| GeekDude | http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-desktop this looks like a sufficient list | 01:18 |
| GeekDude | at least, for my purposes | 01:18 |
| === KindOne_ is now known as KindOne | ||
| Stanley00 | sasha_: well, then I think you should better convert that macro to python or some other things :3 | 01:19 |
| Stanley00 | sasha_: python, or awk if that csv is *simple* enough ;) | 01:19 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: That's above my knowledge, but I may look into it. Is there any way to prevent libreoffice from showing the options window when loading a .csv sheet? | 01:20 |
| ahrenstein | Hey everyone. Is there a way to allow puppet agent to read a file but not a root user? | 01:21 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: If there was a way to set permanent default delimiters in calc, that would work as well. | 01:21 |
| Stanley00 | sasha_: I searched for some options like that in google but not hope. Python has csv module, so I think it's not hard to convert to python. | 01:22 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: This link shows libreoffice man page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man1/ooimpress.1.html and this one shows some filter options, but I wasn't able to figure out how to implement them: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options | 01:24 |
| daftykins | sasha_: i bet libre has a channel | 01:25 |
| sasha_ | daftykins: I checked, but didn't see much action happening there... :( | 01:26 |
| daftykins | sasha_: you have to be patient when it comes to free help :) | 01:26 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: Basically, what I need to do is open a .csv file while using the --headless option (no gui) | 01:27 |
| sasha_ | daftykins: Yes, I understand :) | 01:27 |
| === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon | ||
| daftykins | sasha_: hey, you know it sounds more like you could do whatever with your csv files from BASH instead of even having to invoke a libre program, depending on what you need to do. are you replacing a field? | 01:29 |
| Stanley00 | sasha_: sorry, but I don't use libreoffice much, so I don't think I can help you more with that. But I still recommend you to convert that macro to python, perl or using awk/bash to process your csv files. Or better, why not use database instead of csv for storing data? | 01:31 |
| sasha_ | daftykins: Yes, that's a posibility. I was really hoping to have the flexibility of running a libreoffice macro. | 01:32 |
| daftykins | well you can't get much more flexible than modifying a text file | 01:32 |
| sasha_ | Stanley00: Thanks for the pointers stanley. I'll look into it | 01:32 |
| daftykins | why complicate matters | 01:32 |
| sasha_ | Very true, thanks daftykins | 01:33 |

| lasdam1 | how do I troubleshoot (u)swsusp resuming not working? both uswsusp and swsusp allows for the hibernation and shutdown process, but nothing is resumed | 02:05 |
| teward | HZun: I use standard HTTP mirrors, however, I have the actual domain-to-IP definitions in my /etc/hosts file... | 02:06 |
| HZun | teward, how come you dont use the https mirrors? | 02:06 |
| daftykins | we're not all paranoid computer users here, HZun | 02:07 |
| teward | HZun: never got around to changing them to HTTPS. But since I KNOW the IPs of the Ubuntu archive mirror I use, and it's explicitly defined, I'm less concerned about the source because it's really hard to fail the lookup when it's defined explicitly in my /etc/hosts | 02:07 |
| HZun | teward, ok. | 02:07 |
| daftykins | well someone could still MITM you, but yeah unlikely | 02:08 |
| HZun | daftykins, yeah. its just the ubuntu installer lets you choose between http, https, and ftp. and i was just thinking, are there any disadvantages about using the https option? | 02:09 |
| daftykins | i don't remember ever seeing that option | 02:09 |

| daftykins | hi | 02:31 |
| Demon_Jester | anyone able to help me? It says that my flash player (youtube porn etc..) says I need ot update and when I do it says that flash player is up to date, but it shows that silverlight is out of date, and when i try to update silverlight it sends me to documentation and not download link, and just curious how owuld i update silverlight? | 02:34 |
| Demon_Jester | would* | 02:34 |
| === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe | ||
| daftykins | silverlight doesn't exist for Linux | 02:35 |
| Demon_Jester | mozilla plugin | 02:35 |
| MrChris | You can't update/install silverlight on a Linux os | 02:35 |
| MrChris | There's an alternative called moonlight I think... | 02:35 |
| daftykins | or pipelight too | 02:36 |
| MrChris | That one ^ | 02:36 |
| zykotick9 | Demon_Jester: fyi, adobe dropped support for flash on gnu/linux... no new versions, ever. | 02:37 |
| Demon_Jester | that is what I thought since silverlight is microsoft thing, but idk why it redirects me to silverlight | 02:37 |
| daftykins | i think you're clicking the wrong thing | 02:37 |
| Demon_Jester | zykotick9 so i have to deal with "allow adobe flash" everytime I go to youtube or a porn site? | 02:37 |
| MrChris | Because its checking if your browser supports it and if not sending a redirect | 02:37 |
| daftykins | Demon_Jester: or install a pepperflash wrapper, or move to chrome. your choice | 02:37 |
| MrChris | That's a setting. | 02:38 |
| Demon_Jester | pepper flash.. hmm | 02:38 |

| MrChris | That's an old link | 02:40 |
| rtd2 | sorry it took so long, I am new to this | 02:40 |
| Demon_Jester | MrChrist thanks for the link but I did, and I would download tar.gz and try to install it myself, but it wont do it I even tried.. I think its APT (ubunto 10.04+) | 02:40 |
| MrChris | Once you download the tar.gz you just need to move the files to the right location... I believe | 02:41 |
| MrChris | The .so file etc | 02:41 |
| daftykins | rtd2: no idea where you'd get said headers if it isn't already a package | 02:41 |
| Demon_Jester | MrChrist oh really? hmm I will try that. | 02:41 |
| rtd2 | daftykins: yah, I have the unixODBC package installed, according to apt-get, but it's not in the directory that you see in that paste | 02:42 |
| daftykins | MrChris: that's not going to help and that's also terrible advice | 02:42 |
| daftykins | Demon_Jester: don't bother | 02:42 |
| rtd2 | daftykins: I am not sure how to find out which directory it's in | 02:42 |

| daftykins | cioft: support questions only in here, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 02:43 |
| daftykins | Demon_Jester: there isn't one, flash isn't getting updated | 02:43 |
| MrChris | Using the flash installer I'm assuming. | 02:43 |
| cioft | ok, how do I change rooms? | 02:43 |

| MrChris | Here's another useless link http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/flashmanual | 02:44 |
| Demon_Jester | daftykins ok I will do that then. | 02:44 |
| rtd2 | daftykins: I'm assuming that it expects the unixODBC header package to be in /usr/local/include, yet it's not there | 02:44 |
| MrChris | locate odbc.h | 02:44 |
| rtd2 | nothing | 02:45 |
| daftykins | rtd2: *shrug* try some php people maybe. you went outside of support when you started compiling really :) | 02:45 |

| rtd2 | thanks for giving it a shot, greatly appreciate it! | 02:45 |
| daftykins | np | 02:46 |
| Demon_Jester | ok so i have another problem, i try to execute a package via CLI, it says it cannot be execute because it doesnt exist, but it does, and I found another directory where it is located, and tried to symbolic link BUT it says it already exists.. it works if I print the whole directory /usr/sbin/packagename but i dont what to do that everytime | 02:46 |
| daftykins | "package" ? | 02:46 |
| Demon_Jester | airodump-ng | 02:46 |
| daftykins | sorry, not helping you with that. | 02:46 |
| rypervenche | Demon_Jester: It needs to be run as root, and /usr/sbin is not in your default PATH variable. | 02:47 |
| MrChris | What's your problem daftykins... | 02:47 |
| Demon_Jester | daftykins sorry you feel that way, but its not what you think i have a computer shover in a corner I use to "test" | 02:47 |
| MrChris | At least you said sorry... I guess | 02:47 |
| Demon_Jester | shoved* | 02:47 |
| rypervenche | Demon_Jester: Good luck convincing anyone ~_^ | 02:48 |
| daftykins | MrChris: take your attitude elsewhere thanks | 02:48 |
| MrChris | There's nothing wrong with airodump, he just doesn't want to help | 02:48 |
| MrChris | My attitude? | 02:48 |
| daftykins | Demon_Jester: i don't care what you are up to, i'm simply stating i won't help with that :) | 02:48 |
| daftykins | you're always welcome to ask for a refund of course :) | 02:48 |
| MrChris | haha | 02:48 |
| MrChris | Demon_Jester, just search, "how to install airocrack-ng on Ubuntu" | 02:49 |
| MrChris | You'll get a 1000 hits. | 02:49 |
| daftykins | answer was already provided, potentially | 02:50 |
| Demon_Jester | mrchris thanks but this problem wasn't happening earlier, it may have been when my laptop shut off cause the battery died and caused a glitch. | 02:50 |
| Demon_Jester | /usr/sbin needs to be a path variable I think someone mentioned earlier. | 02:50 |
| MrChris | daftykins, run as root and make sure your $PATH is correct is not the answer | 02:50 |
| daftykins | how do you know? | 02:51 |
| Demon_Jester | but hell I am not going mess with it, I am burning arch linux on a usb drive atm anyways. | 02:51 |
| MrChris | I'm making an assumption | 02:51 |
| MrChris | Probably an incorrect one | 02:51 |
| MrChris | :) | 02:51 |
| MrChris | My suggestion is to reinstall the "package" | 02:51 |
| MrChris | Anyway have a lovely day daftykins | 02:52 |
| kevdog_ | arch is good. Once using it for a while, it makes using ubuntu and configuation a whole lot easier | 02:52 |
| daftykins | MrChris: cool, you too - try not to mislead too many peeps :) | 02:52 |
| rypervenche | MrChris: Please do not provide help if you don't know the answer. aircrack-ng must be run as root to work. His normal user also did not have /usr/sbin in his PATH, but regardless, it should be run as root. | 02:52 |
| MrChris | Ouch! | 02:52 |
| daftykins | and that flash 'advice', damn | 02:53 |
| Demon_Jester | guys calm down I will go to aircrack channel next time, but that is not the case I want to get into more "advance" linux and figured archlinux would be the next step on my netbook. | 02:53 |
| MrChris | I never suggested not running it as root... | 02:53 |
| MrChris | Good luck Demon_Jester | 02:54 |
| Demon_Jester | yeah some guy said on 4chan (inb4 I get crapped on for that) he was just scrolling through arch wiki while doing the installation. | 02:55 |
| Demon_Jester | I dont think it would be that easy but I hear wiki is very resourceful. | 02:55 |
| daftykins | everyone's calm, we just call out bad advice is all | 02:56 |
| daftykins | heh, in fairness i think it'll be a challenge for you but it could be a good learning process. just don't come in here with arch problems ;) | 02:57 |
| Demon_Jester | bad advice I get it. | 02:57 |

| cfhowlett | !java | ablest | 05:01 |
| ubottu | ablest: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

"There is no 'pidfile' option in the configuration file, see http://prosody.im/doc/prosodyctl#pidfile for help" | 05:24 |
| tissuesamples | there are many different log files but they contain nothing - /var/run/prosody is set to prosody:adm 664 but it just won't write the pidfile and thus I cannot use prosodyctl | 05:25 |

| tissuesamples | lotuspsychje, I have the default pidfile value set: pidfile = "/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid"; | 05:30 |

| tissuesamples | lotuspsychje, I've enabled modules with success in /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua, so I assume I've got the right config file - my concern is that it's just not writing anything, no logs or the pidfile | 05:32 |
| lotuspsychje | tissuesamples: maybe this can help: https://www.linode.com/docs/applications/messaging/installing-prosody-xmpp-server-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin | 05:32 |

| sebastian | browser says adobe flash is outdated and needs to be updated, what is the command line statement for this? | 05:37 |
| lotuspsychje | sebastian: start your update icon | 05:37 |
| sebastian | lotuspsychje, how can I do this from the command line though? | 05:38 |
| sebastian | from the terminal | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | sebastian: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:38 |
| sebastian | thank you! :D! | 05:38 |
| tissuesamples | lotuspsychje, it appears that using their packages has made it work correctly - I suspect a bug in Debian's packaging. | 05:38 |

| etzerd | hello all | 05:48 |
| etzerd | ? | 05:48 |
| etzerd | how can I download just the Gnome Desktop version from Ubuntu? | 05:49 |
| etzerd | because I don't like the Unity desktop that much. | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | !gnome | etzerd | 05:49 |
| ubottu | etzerd: GNOME was the default desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10. To install the GNOME Shell, type [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ] in a !terminal. For the GNOME-based !flavor of Ubuntu, see !ubuntu-gnome | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | etzerd: you can also auto-hide unity left bar and install docky at bottom to have gnome feeling | 05:51 |

| RahulAN | i want to put linux over my netbook, ubuntu is much bigger.. any suggestion | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: what do you mean bigger | 06:01 |
| RahulAN | it hangs my netbook | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: wich ubuntu version did you try? | 06:02 |
| RahulAN | 12.04 | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: try 14.04 | 06:02 |
| RahulAN | i want some flavour that is lighter | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: what kind of netbook is this? | 06:02 |
| RahulAN | it have 1 gb RAM and Atom processor | 06:02 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: you can try lubuntu or xubuntu 14.04 | 06:03 |
| RahulAN | i tried lubuntu previously.. | 06:03 |
| RahulAN | it was fine | 06:03 |
| RahulAN | what about xubuntu?? | 06:03 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: all depends on your choice, i have netbook with ssd and ubuntu 14.04 64bit, runs like rocket | 06:04 |
| fego | xubuntu is a bit heavy RahulAN compared to lubuntu. but you can try your luck, i had xubuntu running on somewhat old systems. | 06:04 |
| RahulAN | i will try lubuntu | 06:05 |
| fego | what netbook lotuspsychje? | 06:05 |
| RahulAN | I am using bodhi now on that pc but skype is giving problem there | 06:05 |
| lotuspsychje | fego: acer aspire ONE with samsung evo 840 | 06:05 |
| fego | nice | 06:06 |
| RahulAN | here it is showing 14.14 | 06:07 |
| RahulAN | *14.10 | 06:07 |
| fego | :o | 06:07 |
| RahulAN | is that ok?? | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: depends what you want, 14.10 is only 9 months support | 06:08 |
| fego | yes, it is the latest ubuntu version. | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: if you want long time support, choose an LTS version | 06:08 |
| RahulAN | then 14.04 is best?? or 12.04 | 06:08 |
| pixxel | Anyone know why when i connect to a WIFI the mac address i spoofed always get changed back to the HW mac? | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: i would reccomend 14.04 LTS | 06:09 |
| Stanley00 | RahulAN: 14.04 is better than 12.04 IMO | 06:09 |
| RahulAN | ok | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | pixxel: maybe try macchanger ? | 06:09 |
| pixxel | i have | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | pixxel: do you have static ip or dynamic? | 06:10 |
| pixxel | dynamic | 06:10 |
| RahulAN | lotuspsychje, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ in this first one is ok .. | 06:10 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: check your architecture of your pc, to know if you need 32bit or 64bit | 06:11 |
| RahulAN | 32 bit | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: ok then page is good, choose the PC version | 06:12 |
| pixxel | I'm stumped, did the usual stuff with downing the interface, changing the mac address, bringing the interface up again, but when the wifi reconnects i always get the same old HW mac address. | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | pixxel: maybe the ##networking guys might be able to solve this? | 06:12 |
| pixxel | Ok :) thanks lotuspsychje | 06:13 |

| lotuspsychje | frustro: check the ##hardware channel | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: yes the first iso, the PC version | 06:14 |
| RahulAN | yes | 06:14 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: download and create your usb stick | 06:15 |
| RahulAN | yes | 06:15 |
| RahulAN | simple dd commandwilll work here? | 06:15 |

| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: from wich Os will you create your stick? | 06:15 |
| RahulAN | I am currently on Ubuntu. | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | RahulAN: then use the disk creator icon | 06:16 |
| RahulAN | lotuspsychje, Ohkkk | 06:16 |
| frustro | RahulAN: or use dd | 06:16 |

| RahulAN | lotuspsychje, ok. | 06:17 |
| RahulAN | when i try to dump raspbian image on raspberry pi .. i use dd if=image of=/dev/sdb* bs=4M | 06:17 |
| RahulAN | will this same work to this image also?? | 06:18 |
| Stanley00 | RahulAN: you can do the same (with some changes), but using usb disk creator is safer and recommended. | 06:19 |
| RahulAN | ohkkk Stanley00 | 06:20 |
| === fego is now known as Guest51835 | ||
| frustro | RahulAN: when using dd you have to unmount the disk first. so if your usb is sdb1, the u mount /dev/sdb. then dd if=path of=path minus the number. for me, I plug in a usb it's sdb1. I then umount /dev/sdb...after that dd-if /image.iso of=/dev/sdb | 06:21 |
| RahulAN | frustro, no any other option | 06:22 |

| RahulAN | :) | 06:24 |

| iptable | BuJitsuBrown: daemons are programs that round in the background and provide a certain type of service. Normally, for the system to function, you want all the daemons provided by ubuntu. | 09:33 |
| iptable | BuJitsuBrown: if you feel like breaking you system though, the daemons started at system boot are listed in /etc/init/* and /etc/rc{2,3,4,5}.d/*.

| iptable | BuJitsuBrown: although, if you were compromised, your ps and other binaries probably got patched, so you would need to boot form liveCD and md5sum check if the binaries are correct first. There is a tool to check integrity, I can't remember the name though. | 09:43 |

| Lucax | I Don't know if this is the right channel but for this topic but is there a solution to the issue of flash not supporting linux | 10:05 |
| samgoody | I have a fqdn, say me.example.com It is my understanding that hostname = me and hostname -f = me.example.com | 10:05 |
| hateball | Lucax: If you run chrome/chromium you can use pepperflash. But the best option is to abandon flash | 10:06 |
| Lucax | I use firefox | 10:06 |
| samgoody | Is that correct? If so, how do I set it - when I set hostname = me.example.com it sets both the hostname and the fqdn to the fqdn | 10:07 |
| Kyoshiro` | hi | 10:07 |
| Lucax | how to run flash with firefox and linux? and if I abandon flash, what is the alternative? | 10:08 |

| ararob | html5 video I guess, and hope the site in question doesn't run flash. | 10:08 |

I'd rather keep the two seperate as users will never ever login to the ubuntu server and they tend to use less than ideally strong passwords. | 10:10 |
| samgoody | Anyone around that knows anything about dns, or should I be asking on the server channel? | 10:10 |
| Kyoshiro` | you don't need system accounts for postfix you can use some other auth backend | 10:11 |
| White_Cat | I can? | 10:11 |
| indistylo | Battery indicator is not showing up in gnome applet, How can i resolve it | 10:11 |
| Kyoshiro` | yes, I think you can with postfix-mysql or postfix-ldap | 10:11 |
| White_Cat | Okay let me google the latter | 10:12 |
| Kyoshiro` | ^^ | 10:12 |

| qknight_ | k1l: i don't know which kernel i should use. | 11:12 |

| qknight_ | k1l: please, if you can, just answer my question | 11:13 |
| k1l | ubuntu 14.04 just got 1 actual kernel, the latest | 11:14 |

| indistylo | I am using ubuntu 12.04, since long time Battery indicator is not showing up in gnome applet, How can i resolve it | 11:14 |
| qknight_ | that is? 3.16, right? | 11:14 |
| === jonas_ is now known as Guest71163 | ||
| Ben64 | qknight_: what are you doing picking, you should already have a kernel, explain yourself | 11:14 |

| k1l | !info linux-image-generic trusty | 11:15 |
| ubottu | linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13.0.43.50 (trusty), package size 2 kB, installed size 28 kB | 11:15 |
| mjayk | k1l: it has many kernels, it defo doesnt have "the latest" | 11:15 |
| k1l | mjayk: linux-image-generic always links to the latest build in that branch. | 11:15 |
| === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt | ||
| mjayk | k1l: its the latest for that specific branch its no way near the latest; reading his question one can only presume he wants to update the kernel and make sure that the one he chooses works with nvidia drivers; as quite a few dont | 11:16 |
| k1l | mjayk: yes yes yes. not the latest as in 3.19 or such. but you dont have to choose. there is only one actual latest kernel package for that release. ist just his questions dont make sense at all | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | mjayk: not good to presume, which is why we want more explanation from qknight_ | 11:17 |
| mjayk | Ben64: one always has to presume, k1l you have to choose if you want to change. He obviously has a kernel and wants to pick another one. | 11:18 |
| Ben64 | not obvious at all. presuming can lead to incorrect answers being given | 11:19 |

| perlmonkey | you need to export them | 11:39 |
| Guest10140 | hw to use pastebin | 11:39 |
| reetika | ok | 11:39 |
| reetika | if we open image using gimp and chnge image size and trying to save it | 11:40 |
| reetika | it is saving xcf format only | 11:40 |
| jatt | reetika: save it and then export it | 11:40 |
| Guest10140 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9549623/ here is pastebin | 11:40 |
| reetika | save it in which format? | 11:41 |
| perlmonkey | reekita: yes it does now by default, to save to png or jpg use File -> Export option | 11:41 |
| jatt | reetika: xcf | 11:41 |
| perlmonkey | any format | 11:41 |
| reetika | ok | 11:41 |
| perlmonkey | if you type file.png Gimp knows to save it in that format and gives file the extension .png but your master file .xcf remains on screen | 11:41 |
| perlmonkey | it's a better improved feature | 11:42 |
| reetika | thnks it is working | 11:42 |
| perlmonkey | but you must use 'export' save as no longer works for formats other than .xcf | 11:42 |
| perlmonkey | great :) | 11:42 |
| reetika | is dere any other way | 11:43 |
| perlmonkey | I don't think so | 11:43 |

I had a working desktop (gnome) with xorg, with the basic nvidia settings manager app (no updated drivers), I updated the drivers, and now xorg won't load, I just get a low res black screen, big X... any ideas how to restore it back? I removed all the nvidia drivers, no effect tho | 11:46 |
| k1l | Guest10140: use gdisk instead of fdisk since you have a gpt partition table | 11:46 |
| Guest10140 | i have booted now with ubutun when laptop restarted and i could select f9 key and then selected hard drive boot option and booted ubuntu from there | 11:46 |
| Guest10140 | sudo gdisk -l GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8 Problem opening -l for reading! Error is 2. The specified file does not exist! | 11:47 |
| perlmonkey | Guest10410 did that solve your problem? I was going to suggest installing a bootloader like grub on the Windows partition | 11:47 |
| perlmonkey | Ubuntu normally does install a bootload on a system with Windows as primary boot partition and detects the Windows partition and gives you a list of boot options eh | 11:49 |
| Guest10140 | sudo gdisk -l GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8 Problem opening -l for reading! Error is 2. The specified file does not exist! | 11:49 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest70964 | ||
| perlmonkey | Guest10140: run gdisk without any options then type device ie /dev/sda | 11:51 |
| Guest10140 | ok one sec | 11:51 |
| perlmonkey | then you can use commands, like 'p' = print all partitions on display on screen | 11:51 |
| Guest10140 | Type device filename, or press <Enter> to exit: /dev/sda Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. | 11:51 |
| Guest10140 | i got above | 11:52 |
| perlmonkey | interesting, what kind of drive do you? | 11:52 |
| perlmonkey | sda = usually SATA 1st drive | 11:52 |
| Guest10140 | hw to find that | 11:52 |
| Guest10140 | can i use gparted | 11:53 |
| perlmonkey | there is a gui tool in gnome and probably other desktops for showing discs and partitions.. one sec | 11:54 |
| Guest10140 | is it gparted | 11:54 |
| perlmonkey | Guest10140: no, click on your apps search box at top, and type 'disks' and it will show a 'disks' app with grey disk icon | 11:55 |
| perlmonkey | that shows all the hdd's and other storage devices attached to sys (even unmounted) and lets you see visually each partition, filesystem file/status etc | 11:55 |
| Guest10140 | what do i cut paste here | 11:56 |
| perlmonkey | you can even do changes from there to partitions, delete/set bootable, resize etc | 11:56 |
| Guest10140 | i could go to disks | 11:56 |
| perlmonkey | Guest10140 that's the best tool to use, it will use the underlying tools, rather than mess in a shell, but you can mount a device or use gdisk easier if you use gui disks app first to identify the disk type and dev name | 11:57 |
| Guest10140 | i am in disks | 11:58 |
| Guest10140 | can u tell me what i should do nw | 11:58 |
| perlmonkey | ok do you see your disks listed now on left hand pane | 11:58 |

| Guest10140 | 500 GB hard disk ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB (2AR10002) | 11:58 |

| Guest10140 | Partition type | 11:59 |
| Guest10140 | Microsoft Windows Recovery Environment (System | 12:00 |

| perlmonkey | see the options now? | 12:01 |
| Guest10140 | that round option | 12:02 |
| perlmonkey | Guest10140 yeah the two round circles | 12:02 |
| perlmonkey | after the - | 12:02 |
| Guest10140 | yes there are several options there | 12:02 |

| Guest10140 | format create disk image etc | 12:03 |
| perlmonkey | yes, be careful making any changes though to mounted partition | 12:03 |
| Guest10140 | now what | 12:03 |
| perlmonkey | what do you want to do? | 12:03 |
| Guest10140 | i want my linux boot to be available when my laptop boots | 12:03 |
| Guest10140 | with windows 8 | 12:03 |
| perlmonkey | you need to install a bootloader is all, like grub or lilo | 12:04 |
| Guest10140 | that is already there | 12:04 |
| Guest10140 | installed | 12:04 |
| perlmonkey | it will place the bootloader in a section of your windows partition | 12:04 |
| Guest10140 | but it is nt showing when my laptop boots | 12:04 |
| Guest10140 | ok nw tell me hw to do it | 12:04 |
| perlmonkey | and automatically detect your Linux kernels | 12:04 |
| perlmonkey | you best Google that, it's a subject that is well covered with tutorials | 12:05 |
| Guest10140 | i didnt find proper answer hence i am asking | 12:05 |
| Guest10140 | or may be didnt understand | 12:05 |
| Guest10140 | nw i am in linux partition | 12:05 |
| Guest10140 | can i reinstall grub and see my machine boots with ubuntu and windows 8 boot option | 12:05 |
| perlmonkey | if you ask a specific question, we can answer, but you're asking how to do a general task well documented and which is involved | 12:05 |
| perlmonkey | the bootloader does not install on Linux partition it goes on Windows partition | 12:06 |
| Guest10140 | i am sorry if i am nt asking correct question | 12:06 |
| Guest10140 | will u be able to help me | 12:06 |
| perlmonkey | if you have an Ubuntu install CD you can use that and select the bootloader install option, this should have been done as part of the Ubuntu install on a system with Windows on already | 12:07 |
| Ben64 | perlmonkey: uh, the bootloader doesn't go on a partition | 12:07 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64 where does it go then? | 12:07 |
| Ben64 | beginning of the drive | 12:07 |
| Guest10140 | in my case is it then sda1 | 12:08 |
| perlmonkey | oh yeah, there's an area reserved isn't there? | 12:08 |
| perlmonkey | but it's not on sda1 partition is it? | 12:08 |
| Ben64 | grub would normally be installed on sda | 12:08 |
| perlmonkey | right | 12:08 |
| Guest10140 | i had created a partition sda8 for ext4 | 12:09 |
| Guest10140 | the installation was successful | 12:09 |
| Guest10140 | but after reboot i didnt get proper grub | 12:09 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64: my advice was ok? he just needs to install grup/lilo and that's a task well covered and also the Ubuntu CD will do it for you, even post-install? | 12:09 |
| Ben64 | well lilo isn't really used | 12:09 |
| Guest10140 | i had to select f9 key and then select hard drive and then selected ubuntu | 12:09 |
| Ben64 | f9? why | 12:09 |
| perlmonkey | I prefer grub and I think most use it | 12:09 |
| Guest10140 | because i was nt able to get straight linux boot | 12:10 |
| Ben64 | i don't really know what f9 does, but i know i've never had to press that to install ubuntu | 12:10 |
| perlmonkey | Guest10140 maybe you chose no to the install grub option by mistake | 12:10 |
| Guest10140 | no i didnt do anything | 12:10 |
| Guest10140 | installer automatically installed grub | 12:10 |
| Guest10140 | which i saw while installation was running | 12:11 |
| perlmonkey | you can display scroll back on the list of install options and choose it if you boot off CD in rescue mode | 12:11 |
| perlmonkey | that's the easiest way if you don't want to install grub manually, but its not that difficult and well documented online | 12:11 |
| perlmonkey | I'm sure there's even tools to install grub available from Linux | 12:12 |
| perlmonkey | from gui i mean | 12:12 |
| Ben64 | !fixgrub | 12:12 |

| Ben64 | lots of information in those links | 12:13 |
| perlmonkey | don't be editing the bootloader files unless you know what you're doing, else you get a non-booting system | 12:13 |
| perlmonkey | thanks Ben64 | 12:13 |
| perlmonkey | now, can anyone offer any suggestions how to restore my xorg? I think installing + removing nvidia drivers screwed it up, i got black screen low res/big white X, the sign of a broken xorg eh | 12:14 |
| perlmonkey | i should have backed up the config file, silly me | 12:15 |
| perlmonkey | it worked fine before i installed the nvidia drivers, curse nvidia | 12:15 |
| Ben64 | how did you install nvidia | 12:15 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64: ok I did a normal install, and all it installed was the nvidia settings manager app, nothing showed as special drivers, so I think it used generic (non-proprietory) or standard version, i updated it, and that broke it | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | what video card(s) | 12:17 |
| arcsky | if i want to send my syslog/messages to an syslogserver which file do i need to configure? do i need to install a syslogserver ? | 12:17 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64 I did see the card type but can't remember how now, any idea? | 12:19 |
| Ben64 | lshw -C VIDEO | 12:19 |
| perlmonkey | thanks | 12:20 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64: C68 GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a | 12:22 |
| Ben64 | perlmonkey: apparently you need the legacy 304.xx drivers for that card | 12:23 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64: on output it says *-display UNCLAIMED.. I guess because no port in use? | 12:23 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64 thanks I will try that | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | it should be in the repositories | 12:23 |
| perlmonkey | many thanks Ben, this nvidia drives me mad | 12:23 |
| Ben64 | !info nvidia-304 trusty | 12:24 |

| Ben64 | if you're on 14.04 use that | 12:24 |
| perlmonkey | I generally leave well alone when working, i dunno why i updated driver!! a moments insanity | 12:24 |
| perlmonkey | yes I am, thanks | 12:24 |
| fossxplorer | I have a question regarding differences of Ubuntu vs CentOS. What exactly does Upstart offer of command as to administer services/daemons? Can one use 'service'? | 12:27 |

| * perlmonkey had written off a number of SATA drives as dead, turns out they were ok, just needed the terminals on SATA connection cleaned/new SATA cable... be careful of that guys | 12:27 | |

| * perlmonkey tests nvidia problem to see if 304 fixed it | 12:30 | |
| BluesKaj_ | perlmonkey, Hi, I had sata drive die after just 4 yrs | 12:30 |
| perlmonkey | BluesKaj I generally don't like magnetic hdd anymore, I'm moving more to solid state tech and cloud, but I have written off drives in past they were fine | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj_ | Most WDs last much longer than 4 yrs, I have a 9 yr old 160G drive still operating | 12:32 |
| perlmonkey | using a raid makes sense or rsync I think and two drives, if you want good backup or redundancy | 12:32 |
| * perlmonkey is now testing a Raspberry PI with SD+USD stick 32GB and cloud/NFS | 12:33 | |
| perlmonkey | I find Seagate HDD's more reliable, Maxtor one of the worse makes for me, I had to replace several | 12:33 |
| perlmonkey | with magnetic HDD's just bad shutdowns, or disturbing a cable can ruin a filesystem | 12:34 |
| perlmonkey | I lost several drives in storms to backouts and power surges | 12:34 |
| perlmonkey | worth investing in UPS and/or power surge protection | 12:35 |
| Mrokii | Hello. How can I check how much RAM is recognised in my computer (via Bash or otherwise)? | 12:35 |
| === wang is now known as Guest25221 | ||
| perlmonkey | Mrokii 'free' | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj_ | Mrokii, free in the term | 12:36 |
| perlmonkey | yeah | 12:36 |
| perlmonkey | free -h if you want it in GB's | 12:36 |
| perlmonkey | -h = human friendly readable format ;-) | 12:37 |
| Mrokii | perlmonkey, BluesKaj_ Thanks. Unfortunately something doesn't seem to work right here. There should be 8 Gig available, but free only shows 5.4 Gig. :-/ | 12:37 |
| perlmonkey | Mrokki is 8GB now showing as total mem? | 12:37 |
| perlmonkey | *now~not | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj_ | MobGod, under total? | 12:38 |
| perlmonkey | yeah | 12:38 |
| Mrokii | perlmonkey: No. Total is 5.4 Gig | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | Mrokii: pastebin the output of "free -m" | 12:38 |
| perlmonkey | oh that's odd | 12:38 |
| perlmonkey | how about a RAM test from grub? | 12:39 |
| Mrokii | I just installed new RAM, so maybe one of the pieces is faulty. :-/ | 12:39 |
| perlmonkey | maybe you have a bad strip | 12:39 |
| perlmonkey | its possible yes, or maybe just not seated right, they can be fiddly | 12:39 |
| perlmonkey | be careful of static, earth yourself | 12:39 |
| === YamakasY_ is now known as YamakasY | ||
| Mrokii | I'll check them again. And I am usually careful of static. | 12:40 |
| perlmonkey | I had RAM not showing, I dusted, cleaned, re-seated, then it showed | 12:40 |
| perlmonkey | :-) | 12:40 |
| azizLIGHT | Test | 12:40 |
| Mrokii | perlmonkey: Thanks, I'll check them. Bye for now. | 12:40 |
| perlmonkey | bbfn good luck | 12:41 |
| Mrokii | ty. | 12:41 |
| perlmonkey | RAM can be tricky too, sometimes mismatches, if you had one strip that has error checking, but I guess he knew that | 12:42 |
| perlmonkey | general rule is to buy all same brand/source | 12:42 |
| perlmonkey | same applies to HDD I find, matched pairs works well for rsync | 12:43 |

| perlmonkey | exact size and mechanical spec | 12:43 |
| perlmonkey | neat | 12:43 |
| Ben64 | try to stay on topic here please, use #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support issues | 12:44 |
| perlmonkey | RAM can be tremendous difference eh, esp if you use RAM drives and lightweight dm like xfce4 | 12:44 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64 apologies | 12:44 |
| * perlmonkey tests his headless nvidia system and gets back to work | 12:45 | |
| BluesKaj_ | gives this old amd dual core cpu gelp with booting into 14.10, especailly with KDE | 12:46 |
| BluesKaj_ | err help | 12:46 |
| perlmonkey | Blue why you use such a heavy dm as kde with limited RAM? just prefer it? xfce4 runs loads faster and has hardly any loss of functionality | 12:47 |
| perlmonkey | xfce4 is a good choice for < 2GB or laptops/netbooks | 12:48 |
| perlmonkey | I like how you can customise it so much with bars/start menus etc, and widgets, also a lot of the xfce4 specific tools like the terminal just work better, with copy/paste etc | 12:49 |
| perlmonkey | a good balance of function over memory, but gnome and kde install a lot of bloat and take up a good deal of memory | 12:49 |
| ararob | perlmonkey:although i still can't paste with ctl+v into terminal. | 12:49 |
| perlmonkey | not being able to copy and paste easily in terminal is very annoying | 12:50 |
| ararob | it works in mac os x :) | 12:50 |
| perlmonkey | is there a recommended terminal for gnome? | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj_ | perlmonkey, 6G Ram works well ...the other desktops don't do much for me, even with 3G Ram i preferred KDE | 12:50 |
| perlmonkey | :) | 12:51 |
| perlmonkey | I have 4GB ram, running Gnome comfortably here, just about | 12:51 |
| perlmonkey | But I will be changing to xfce4 on my main workstation | 12:51 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| perlmonkey | I would never run Gnome/KDE on my 2GB laptop or 1GB netbook | 12:52 |
| === billt is now known as Guest74983 | ||
| perlmonkey | the performance drop over xfce4 is dramatic | 12:52 |
| ararob | 4GB to run a desktop environment is crazy | 12:52 |
| madani | perlmonkey: may it cause to slow the sys? | 12:52 |
| perlmonkey | yeah its much slower in general, xfce4 is a lot quicker to start apps and do stuff | 12:53 |
| Mrokii | perlmonkey: Hi again. Just wanted to say that everything seems to works fine now. I re-inserted one of the strips and now 7.8 GB total memory are recognised. Thanks for the tip. | 12:53 |
| perlmonkey | Mrokii nice to hear :) | 12:53 |
| ararob | perlmonkey: 16GB and SSDs only way i'd choose KDE over XFCE | 12:54 |
| hateball | Using -offtopic for !ot is a complex concept | 12:54 |
| * perlmonkey run tinycore Linux on a Via embedded sys with just 256mb ram, that Linux runs entirely in RAM using RAM drive, INCREDIBLY fast, beats xfce4 with 4GB RAM :P | 12:54 | |
| perlmonkey | RAM drives = awesome | 12:55 |
| Mrokii | madani: If you're referring to "only" having 4 GB for Ubuntu, I can say that it sometimes slows down things. But for me that wasn't so much the system itself but certain apps, like having opened lots of tabs in Chromium. That's why I went with about 8 Gig now and hope that it'll be better. | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj_ | ararob,, well to each his own , but it depends what you run on the pc , not a gamer and this pc is our media server | 12:55 |
| perlmonkey | 4GB for me is sufficient, comfortable, more is better but not essential IMO. | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj_ | ararob, that's total overkill for kde btw | 12:56 |
| perlmonkey | yeah I don't do gaming or any memory intensive stuff, just programming, normal computing, some graphics editing, encoding of videos and music etc | 12:56 |
| ararob | BluesKaj_: hah, say that in 10 years ;) | 12:56 |
| perlmonkey | I think we best stay on topic Ben64 has told us off, I forgot, sorry Ben | 12:57 |
| perlmonkey | this is meant for support only | 12:57 |
| perlmonkey | BluesKaj ;-) | 12:57 |
| * BluesKaj_ shrugs , wha's that got to do with now , ararob? | 12:57 | |
| ignacio | I know Ubuntu 15.04 is not supported. But is there anyway for upgrade to it from 14.10_ | 12:58 |
| ignacio | ? | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj_ | poor ben64_ ... must be tough for him :) | 12:58 |
| hateball | !ubuntu+1 | ignacio | 12:59 |
| ubottu | ignacio: Vivid Vervet is the codename for Ubuntu 15.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 | 12:59 |
| qknight_ | https://gist.github.com/qknight/edfefee811acb0e35063 <- seems nvidia on ubuntu is 'just broken' with the packages coming with apt | 12:59 |
| ignacio | hateball, thank you | 12:59 |
| perlmonkey | you can't normally jump to a much newer release in an upgrade, I think you need to go through the upgrades? Else stuff will break if you just change the repoistories? | 12:59 |
| qknight_ | i will install the nvidia driver from the run file now, maybe that'll work | 13:00 |
| perlmonkey | if there's more versions beteen 14.10 and 15.04 | 13:00 |
| perlmonkey | gknight_ good luck man, I'm having some nvidia issues myself, f'kin cards are a nightmare eh | 13:01 |
| perlmonkey | i had proprietory tech and manufacturers who dont do open source | 13:01 |
| perlmonkey | *had~hate | 13:01 |
| scottstamp | I'm trying to find a web management UI for a basic router/firewall config, I don't really need anything too advanced, just managing port forwards and static leases. Any suggestions? | 13:02 |
| hateball | If the nvidia driver provided by the additional drivers installer does not work, I'd suggest using xorg-edgers ppa rather than manual install | 13:02 |
| Mrokii | qknight_: I think there are repositories for later nVidia-drivers. | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj_ | odd, nvidia are least troublesome in my experience ...ati/amds give the most problems ime | 13:02 |
| qknight_ | perlmonkey: indeed they are a nightmare. i've been having issues with nvidia+linux (and epecially debian) for nearly a decade now ;-) | 13:02 |
| DF3D2 | if my audio device is CARD 2, DEVICE 0 according to aplay -L how come I can't seem to pipe that info in to MPD to control volume | 13:02 |
| perlmonkey | scottstamp: I generally do all that in my router, the fw and port forwarding is sufficient | 13:02 |
| DF3D2 | the output works, but vol control dos not | 13:02 |
| perlmonkey | using the router makes sense I think (if you can) rather than software options | 13:03 |
| scottstamp | perlmonkey: that's the thing, this is a software router. :P | 13:03 |
| scottstamp | it's for a private network that my VMs join before they get a public-facing IP | 13:03 |
| perlmonkey | oh, don't you have a hardware router with a good web gui? | 13:03 |
| scottstamp | >VMs | 13:03 |
| perlmonkey | you might wanna invest in one? cheap on eBay | 13:04 |
| scottstamp | .. | 13:04 |
| scottstamp | Okay, the box the VMs are on is directly exposed to the internet. It's not behind a NAT. That's not an option. :P | 13:04 |
| perlmonkey | scottsamp: webmin might be of use | 13:04 |
| scottstamp | Too heavy. | 13:05 |
| scottstamp | I mean I have plenty of resources for it, but webmin would be incredibly wasteful. | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj_ | !webmin | 13:05 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 13:05 |
| scottstamp | Hah. Also that. | 13:05 |
| scottstamp | Wait huh? I run it on Wheezy without a hitch and have for a long time... | 13:06 |
| perlmonkey | I used to run webmin and found it quite good, but these days I use cPanel/WHM and professional hosting | 13:08 |
| scottstamp | I'm partial to Virtualmin for non-production | 13:08 |
| scottstamp | Anything production is manually configured on nginx or managed with cPanel. | 13:09 |
| perlmonkey | cool | 13:09 |
| scottstamp | nginx usually just for SSL or non-PHP workloads. Do you host your own cPanel servers? | 13:10 |
| administrador | hola, alguien puede ayudarme | 13:11 |
| perlmonkey | scottstamp: I couldn't get used to nginx as I use a lot of perl, I know its supposed to be a lot more efficient than apache.. I don't own physical servers, but just buy resources, I use a clever green host that runs on 1/8th electricity of a normal data centre and uses cloud a lot for redundancy and load balancing, I manage my own DNS using DNSMadeEasy | 13:12 |
| Chuck_Norris | !es | administrador | 13:13 |
| ubottu | administrador: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 13:13 |
| administrador | gracias | 13:14 |
| scottstamp | heh, fair enough perlmonkey. I used to work as a sysadmin so the idea of letting a provider manage my stuff.. not happenin' | 13:14 |
| perlmonkey | scottstamp: 8.99 a month makes sense really cheaper than buying hardware/bandwidth, for high-speed, dedicated IP, ssh, dedicated resources, unlimited bandwidth/disk space.. its uk based where I am, the performance benefit has been significant since I moved from justhost in US, whom I been with for years due to their great support | 13:15 |
| Kyoshiro` | hi, does anyone know how I can enable the copy/paste (for usage in VMs) of password on the login screen (lightDM) ? | 13:16 |
| perlmonkey | Kyoshiro interesting question | 13:16 |
| scottstamp | That's not bad at all. I get my metal for $56/mo from a DC in Quebec (I'm in a neighbouring province), 32GB, Xeon Westmere 3530 (4c/8t), 4TB of disk and apparently unmetered bandwidth | 13:17 |
| perlmonkey | i dont think you could paste it, becuz pw's are not usually clear text on the field? | 13:17 |
| Kyoshiro` | it doesn't allow pasting :( | 13:17 |
| perlmonkey | unless you changed that | 13:17 |
| perlmonkey | but even if it did, or you could enable pasting I mean.. would it even work? | 13:18 |
| scottstamp | Afaik lightdm doesn't init the clipboard until post-login | 13:18 |
| Kyoshiro` | why not ? | 13:18 |
| scottstamp | Most wm's don't | 13:18 |
| perlmonkey | becuz the pw field doesn't use plain text? | 13:18 |
| scottstamp | it's just not part of that environment. | 13:18 |
| Kyoshiro` | hmmm | 13:18 |
| Kyoshiro` | it's too bad :( | 13:18 |
| perlmonkey | it *might* work, sometimes I can paste pw's, sometimes not (where I can paste at all I mean) | 13:19 |
| Kyoshiro` | I'm using a few VMs for security purposes (PCI1 environment) and I wanted to store complex long passwords into a password manager | 13:19 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| scottstamp | Lol, irony at its best. | 13:19 |
| perlmonkey | isn't there a wallet-style app or something? | 13:20 |
| Kyoshiro` | so I wanted to launch virtualbox and paste the login password ^^ | 13:20 |
| Kyoshiro` | well, it'd be after login only | 13:20 |
| perlmonkey | I was looking at wallet the other day, it seems to manage a lot of apps/services and pw's | 13:20 |
| Kyoshiro` | why scottstamp ? | 13:20 |
| scottstamp | perlmonkey: I believe Kyoshiro` is talking about the login screen you're prompted with when you login to your user account. | 13:20 |
| Kyoshiro` | yup | 13:20 |
| scottstamp | Kyoshiro`: PCI1 environment, and you're looking to circumvent the main secure element, for convenience. | 13:21 |
| perlmonkey | scottstamp ah yeah so like the other poster said, paste would only be enabled after login? | 13:21 |
| Kyoshiro` | I'm logging in into a Virtualbox machine and I wanted to paste the password from my host | 13:21 |
| perlmonkey | in the dm environment | 13:21 |
| scottstamp | o/ I was the other poster, but correct. | 13:21 |
| Ben64 | Kyoshiro`: why not just have it auto log in? | 13:21 |
| perlmonkey | :-) | 13:21 |
| Kyoshiro` | Ben64, it'd be much unsecure ^^ | 13:21 |
| Ben64 | yeah, so is what you want | 13:21 |
| perlmonkey | yeah autologin | 13:21 |
| scottstamp | lol | 13:21 |
| Kyoshiro` | scottstamp, well, I have to change pass every 90 days | 13:22 |
| Kyoshiro` | and keep it secure | 13:22 |
| perlmonkey | if security is not an problem and VNC is not used etc | 13:22 |
| scottstamp | Is your password the same password being used on the VMs? | 13:22 |
| Kyoshiro` | nope | 13:22 |
| Ben64 | Kyoshiro`: maybe try asking in #vbox | 13:22 |
| scottstamp | Because if it's not, I'm pretty sure what you want to do is in direct violation of PCI | 13:22 |
| Kyoshiro` | it's a VM to connect the VPN only | 13:23 |
| scottstamp | Doesn't matter, if it has a password and it's on a PCI-compliant network, it's a secure element. | 13:23 |
| scottstamp | Not that what you're trying to do is exactly auditable, but it is a security issue. | 13:23 |
| Kyoshiro` | how is it an issue if I can paste my password instead of typing it ? | 13:23 |
| scottstamp | Because that password is now being stored in a keychain on your system instead of in your head, where it belongs. | 13:24 |
| Ben64 | Kyoshiro`: doesn't matter, see if #vbox has a way to do what you want, this isn't an ubuntu issue at all | 13:24 |
| * perlmonkey is connected to Raspi using VNC (first time ever used VNC) and loving it, incredible how well this works in just 1GB ram over wifi even, only marginal performance loss over physically being at Raspi | 13:24 | |
| Kyoshiro` | hmm I see | 13:24 |
| Kyoshiro` | Ben64, not really, it's a lightDM issue/feature request in fact, not vbox | 13:25 |
| Kyoshiro` | yeah scottstamp I see your point | 13:25 |
| Kyoshiro` | I've just arrived but the whole company's using a secure vault for everything | 13:25 |
| Ben64 | you're trying to paste from a host to a guest, thats a vbox issue | 13:25 |
| Kyoshiro` | and they've been PCI1 for 4 years | 13:25 |
| Kyoshiro` | Ben64, pasting works after login, it's just lightDM does not allow paste :) | 13:26 |
| Ben64 | then you have your answer i suppose | 13:26 |
| perlmonkey | Ben64 is Raspbian more Debian-like, than Ubuntu? Ubuntu is an improvement on Debian? | 13:26 |
| Kyoshiro` | my question was precisely if there was an option to allow that ^^ | 13:26 |
| Ben64 | perlmonkey: ubuntu is based on debian | 13:26 |
| Kyoshiro` | but yeah I suppose it doesn't ;) | 13:27 |
| Kyoshiro` | anyways, thanks for the insight | 13:27 |
| scottstamp | Rasp"ian" Deb"ian" - yeah, it's not much like Ubuntu at all, really. | 13:27 |
| perlmonkey | the name answers my question, silly question eh. RaspBIAN DeBIAN | 13:27 |
| scottstamp | Ubuntu differentiated itself a few versions back when they ditched init.d | 13:28 |
| scottstamp | which I still hate. :\ | 13:28 |
| Kyoshiro` | hehe | 13:28 |
| wafflej0ck | scottstamp: isn't debain going systemd too? | 13:28 |
| wafflej0ck | debian* | 13:28 |
| scottstamp | wafflej0ck: probably :( | 13:28 |
| perlmonkey | I used to run Debian servers | 13:28 |
| perlmonkey | in 1997/1998 and Ubuntu was like a beath of fresh air | 13:28 |
| Kyoshiro` | never figured how to restart samba server with upstart, else than restart nmbd ; restart smbd | 13:28 |
| perlmonkey | Debian was the best distro but Ubuntu had all the advantages of it and a more user-friendly feel and community | 13:29 |
| scottstamp | I *know* systemd, that's not my problem, I just haaate it. I have to use it for managing CoreOS services. | 13:29 |
| Kyoshiro` | yeah debian is going systemd, there is a #debianfork from people who want a debian with sysV | 13:29 |
| perlmonkey | so migration was easy | 13:29 |
| perlmonkey | Raspbian is strange little OS, feels like Debian-lite.. it uses the lightdm | 13:30 |
| scottstamp | perlmonkey: they're both bordering obsolescence for anything but desktop computing imo | 13:30 |
| Kyoshiro` | ah, I wanted to try it, I'm currently on openelec but XBMC is kinda sluggish | 13:31 |
| scottstamp | Ubuntu 'cause bloody Canonical keeps deciding they need to be a special little snowflake, and Debian because of the infinitely easier-to-manage options available. | 13:31 |
| Ben64 | !ot | 13:31 |

| scottstamp | Get what? | 13:33 |
| perlmonkey | scottstamp oh I sent you a /notice re Raspbian and nginx/apache2 to avoid being off-top | 13:33 |
| scottstamp | erm, I don't think /notice works like that, feel free to /msg me though. | 13:34 |

| amund__ | Hi All, need some help on ssh agent forwarding | 13:41 |
| amund__ | I am doing ssh agent forward to one of the remote system and running screen on the remote system, the agent stay alive for some time as long as I am running a process, but after some time, lets say if I disconnect my laptop for some time and connect to the remote server and re-join to the screen session, in ssh-add -l I am not seeing my forwareded agent | 13:43 |
| Annoyed | Greetings.. General question...I'm currently using a FreeBSD machine for firwalling, time / DNS / file server, general services machine.. almost all configured via configuration files. I intend on migrating to a Ubuntu platform.. and using the same tools, configuring things by hand using config files... Will the GUI get broken or cayse problems with this ? | 13:44 |
| perlmonkey | Annoyed, no don't see why it should | 13:45 |
| newbegginer | Hello, I just started using Ubuntu and I tried to install Wine.. but I got this error message: http://pastebin.com/t3TKeY8D | 13:46 |
| newbegginer | Is this the Ubuntu support channel though? | 13:46 |
| Annoyed | Last time I tried to go "under" a GUI to configure things, it was Red Hat, and that had a royal kiniption fit. | 13:46 |
| perlmonkey | newbegginer did you upgrade outside your distro version? | 13:47 |
| perlmonkey | that can really mess up a system | 13:47 |
| newbegginer | Where should I check my Distro version? | 13:48 |
| k1l | newbegginer: "lsb_release -d" | 13:48 |
| newbegginer | Ubuntu 13.10 | 13:48 |
| newbegginer | I can't update though. | 13:49 |
| k1l | newbegginer: and for the package see: "apt-cache policy wine" | 13:49 |
| k1l | newbegginer: that is bad. you need to upgrade to 14.04 asap | 13:49 |
| perlmonkey | Annoyed: oh yeah, RH can be like that.. but Ubuntu is based on Debian as you know probably, and Debian is more for the terminal/hands-on guys, and Ubuntu inherits that, so you can feel free to go into /etc/init.d services etc and hack away at config files, no issues at all, I do it all the time | 13:49 |
| newbegginer | Installed: (none) | 13:49 |
| newbegginer | Candidate: 1:1.7.18-0ubuntu1~saucy1 | 13:50 |

| unopaste | newbegginer you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted | 13:50 |
| perlmonkey | oh man | 13:50 |
| k1l | newbegginer: you have and old ubuntu version and a PPA which even makes more mess about it. upgrade to 14.04 | 13:50 |
| perlmonkey | never paste in the channel, that's what pastebins are for | 13:50 |
| newbegginer | Sorry, my bad. | 13:51 |
| perlmonkey | s'ok | 13:51 |
| zebra111 | How long do pastes last on http://paste.ubuntu.com? | 13:51 |
| newbegginer | But I just wanted to see if I could install wine. | 13:52 |
| newbegginer | My computetrs pretty old and freezes often.. | 13:52 |
| newbegginer | So I want to avoid updating. | 13:53 |
| perlmonkey | zebra111: "Pastes made to pastebins are usually only saved for a short period of time, usually anywhere from a day to a month." - Ubuntu official wiki | 13:53 |
| k1l | newbegginer: that is not a reason to not upgrade. you dont get any support and security ficxes anymore. | 13:53 |
| zebra111 | Thanks perlmonkey! | 13:53 |
| Annoyed | Perimonkey: Thank you | 13:54 |
| k1l | newbegginer: so if its old see if lubuntu works for you. and stay on a LTS version like 12.04 and 14.04, they got 5 years support | 13:54 |
| cfhowlett | newbegginer, old computer? lubuntu/xubuntu LTS | 13:54 |
| perlmonkey | newbegginer yeah very good advice | 13:54 |
| newbegginer | Well, my (un)experince with linux would probably break my computer if I switch to lubuntu. | 13:55 |
| perlmonkey | be sure to update regularly, long periods of not updating and new version releases can badly configured sources can lead to these type of dependency breakages | 13:55 |
| perlmonkey | or people just editing sources to a newer version and not doing a proper upgrade path | 13:55 |
| k1l | newbegginer: if you think its better to have security issues a 14year old can crack, you are on the wrong path | 13:56 |
| newbegginer | How do I update then? (Even if I did, Wine will still not work.) | 13:56 |
| k1l | newbegginer: "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 13:57 |
| k1l | newbegginer: how come you seem to know but say you are a beginner and dont know much? | 13:58 |
| perlmonkey | before you do distro upgrade make sure existing one is fully updated | 13:58 |
| perlmonkey | else you can run into problems | 13:59 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: there are no updates anyway anymore | 13:59 |
| perlmonkey | sudo apt-get update && upgrade | 13:59 |
| k1l | *for 13.10 | 13:59 |
| perlmonkey | ok | 13:59 |
| newbegginer | Because I had Ubuntu for months tried to install wine and just tried to install it again. (However I only turned on the computer a few times.) | 14:00 |
| perlmonkey | sometimes I think its maybe better just to install a fresh install if its a radically newer release, than install new ontop of very old | 14:00 |
| perlmonkey | unless you have some reason for that eh, the structure of Ubuntu makes it easy to keep /home and /etc and do a fresh install | 14:01 |
| k1l | newbegginer: you have depency errors. that come from 1) using a ubuntu that is shut down anyway 2) using a PPA | 14:01 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: let him upgrade | 14:02 |
| perlmonkey | yeah, its time to install a new updated Ubuntu | 14:02 |
| perlmonkey | ok but i know from experience an old unsupported Ubuntu upgraded to a very new one with lots of updates since = receipe for problems | 14:02 |
| k1l | upgrades are automated tested on ubuntu and do work if you did not change too much away from the standard. plenty of PPAs are a common issue with upgrades but dont blame ubuntu for that | 14:03 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: stop | 14:03 |
| perlmonkey | at the very least, backup data and be prepared to have to format and do a full fresh install I think | 14:03 |
| newbegginer | Tell me how to fix the ppa issue first.(Becuse the chat program i'm using is on the Linux computer and I don't want to quit.) | 14:03 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: its 13.10 to 14.04. no need to make paranoia here. just let him upgrade | 14:03 |
| k1l | !ppa-purge | newbegginer | 14:03 |
| ubottu | newbegginer: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 14:03 |
| perlmonkey | k1l I'm not making paranoia just speaking from experience of 2 decades use and many such situations | 14:04 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: sorry, you didnt even know raspbian is debian based. ubuntu got automatic testing since some time now. | 14:05 |
| perlmonkey | you need to be prepared for breakage and a not so smooth upgrade in some cases, i'm not saying this will be one, it may go ok | 14:05 |
| perlmonkey | k1l why you wanna pick a fight, I dunno, but I'm not gonna indulge you | 14:06 |
| newbegginer | Which ppa should I delete? | 14:06 |
| newbegginer | Sorry for sounding like an idiot, I have the linux knowledge of a 3rd grader. | 14:07 |
| k1l | newbegginer: so you got plenty? please pastebin "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" | 14:07 |
| perlmonkey | don't be apologising newbegginer, everyone has to learn and by asking stuff its the best way, don't feel bad asking basic questions | 14:07 |
| newbegginer | http://pastebin.com/E9tUnjKc | 14:08 |
| perlmonkey | not everyone is a genius here or pro either, you will get mixed advice and some experienced-based, may be different to text-book-based, the real world is different | 14:09 |
| k1l | newbegginer: the wine one | 14:10 |
| perlmonkey | I will stay out of this, as k1l is helping you and knows more than I do clearly | 14:10 |
| * perlmonkey is using wine tho if you need any help after | 14:11 | |
| tnkhanh | I'm thinking virtual box in Ubuntu is better than Wine | 14:11 |
| newbegginer | Specific command though? | 14:11 |
| perlmonkey | I never heard of virtual box, I will have to check that | 14:11 |
| perlmonkey | I find in wine, most apps work normally as per Windows, but often there's little features that don't work | 14:12 |
| perlmonkey | why is virtual box better? | 14:12 |
| k1l | sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa | 14:12 |
| newbegginer | Thank you. | 14:12 |
| tnkhanh | perlmonkey: I'm not sure. I feel it runs smoother | 14:12 |
| tnkhanh | perlmonkey: On my computer, Wine runs very slowly | 14:12 |
| perlmonkey | cool I will try it, wine can be cranky and prone to lockups eh, I find that a lot too on data intensive apps I use (forex charting) | 14:13 |
| perlmonkey | if virtual box can let my MT4 client use the simulated speed test slider I would be over the moon, for that I *have to* go to Windows, wine won't do | 14:14 |
| newbegginer | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9550826/ | 14:15 |
| newbegginer | Doesn't appear to work.. | 14:15 |
| perlmonkey | :-/ | 14:15 |
| perlmonkey | newbeginner why don't you give the virtual box a try? | 14:16 |
| k1l | it cant find packages, so there were non installed. see if its still there in the folder. if so remove the files | 14:16 |
| k1l | perlmonkey: its not helping him now | 14:16 |
| newbegginer | perlmonkey: This is why I always say sorry when saying something stupid. | 14:16 |
| perlmonkey | he's too far into this wine stuff? | 14:16 |
| k1l | he got 2 tasks now: removing that faulty ppa and upgradin to 14.04. dont confuse the user please | 14:16 |
| tnkhanh | perlmonkey: people say that wine runs faster than virtual box. I feel the opposite lol | 14:17 |
| perlmonkey | ok | 14:17 |
| DarkAceZ | how do I replace a program with another one? I want "xterm" to be replaced with "mate-terminal -e" | 14:17 |
| DarkAceZ | in usr/bin | 14:17 |
| newbegginer | k1l: Where should I look? | 14:17 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ you can apt-get remove or make an alias in bashrc | 14:17 |
| k1l | <k1l> newbegginer: so you got plenty? please pastebin "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" | 14:18 |
| newbegginer | http://paste.ubuntu.com/9550845/ | 14:19 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ if you want to physically replace an app, use apt-get remove and install, if you want to keep both, but have another app start when you use the old name, you can create an alias in .bashrc file | 14:19 |
| k1l | newbegginer: ok, "sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu-wine-ppa*" | 14:20 |
| * perlmonkey needs coffee brb | 14:20 | |
| newbegginer | Okay, now what? The console didn't say anything after the command.. | 14:21 |
| DarkAceZ | perlmonkey: the problem is that somewhere, the default terminal is not set correctly, and when I launch a desktop launcher that has "Terminal=true" in the settings, it launches it with xterm instead of the expected mate-terminal | 14:22 |
| k1l | see again if they are removed to make sure. if they are gone "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 14:22 |
| * perlmonkey thinks qutIM is not as good as pidgin (for IRC at least) even though it has a nicer interface | 14:22 | |
| DarkAceZ | either I did it wrong, or aliasing did not help | 14:22 |
| newbegginer | They are gone now, doing sudo apt-get update. | 14:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | DarkAceZ: export TERM=mate-terminal | 14:23 |
| DarkAceZ | Chuck_Norris: didn't help | 14:23 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ did you update the .bashrc file? your alias line should be: alias_name='command to run' .. after you entered that, type source .bashrc in your /home/user | 14:23 |
| DarkAceZ | although I had tried TERM="mate-terminal -e" several times already | 14:23 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ: I find it convenient to add aliases to edit and update the .bashrc, like alias-e, alias-u etc for these commands | 14:24 |
| perlmonkey | alias-u='source /home/user/.bashrc' | 14:25 |
| DarkAceZ | alias xterm='mate-terminal -e' | 14:25 |
| DarkAceZ | that's in my bashrc, now | 14:25 |
| perlmonkey | ok, and you used source command to update? | 14:26 |
| DarkAceZ | yep | 14:26 |
| newbegginer | I guess after doing "sudo do-release-upgrade" I won't be seeing this chat again if it fails and I can't use ubuntu anymore. | 14:26 |
| newbegginer | But still thanks! Because if it DOES fail I have slightly more Ubuntu knowledge since I first started. | 14:26 |
| DarkAceZ | the launcher is still launching it with xterm, though | 14:26 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ: strange, be sure your aliases are working, add another simple one to do something | 14:27 |
| perlmonkey | like list='ls' | 14:27 |
| DarkAceZ | alias copy='cp' | 14:28 |
| DarkAceZ | $ copy | 14:28 |
| DarkAceZ | cp: missing file operand | 14:28 |
| perlmonkey | that's good, clearly working | 14:28 |
| DarkAceZ | keep in mind that I'm launching this "launcher" directly from the desktop | 14:28 |
| DarkAceZ | I don't start it from a terminal | 14:28 |
| Seveas | DarkAceZ: aliases don't work there. | 14:28 |
| DarkAceZ | if that matters at all | 14:28 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ ah that's the prob then I think | 14:28 |
| newbegginer | Goodbye for now I guess. I have to update. | 14:28 |
| Seveas | aliases only work inside shells that have already been launched (and parsed the .bashrc) | 14:29 |
| extor | Whats the easiest way to set up a remote logging? I seem to recall it's really l33t to have auth logs and pam logs remotely written. Not sure if it's still fashionable today. | 14:29 |
| DarkAceZ | yeah, which is why I believe I should be changing the program in /usr/bin to a bash script | 14:29 |
| DarkAceZ | but I'm not sure what to put in said script | 14:29 |
| perlmonkey | the alias won't help from the desktop, you need a different approach there | 14:29 |
| perlmonkey | DarkAceZ yeah that's possible, a symbolic link could do it | 14:30 |
| DarkAceZ | oh | 14:30 |
| DarkAceZ | haha | 14:30 |
| DarkAceZ | why didn't I think of that | 14:30 |
| DarkAceZ | I use them all the time | 14:30 |
| DarkAceZ | give me a sec | 14:30 |
| perlmonkey | ln -s /path/to/new/app /path/to/old_app_name | 14:30 |
| Seveas | extor: it is, and it's quite simple with rsyslog or syslog-ng | 14:30 |
| perlmonkey | sorry my example was a bit wrong, the ln -s is /path/ alias | 14:31 |
| perlmonkey | do that inside the directory where the old prog resides | 14:32 |
| perlmonkey | i would mv the old prog first to .bak | 14:32 |

| ntz | hello | 14:50 |
| ntz | one little request (I don't have buntu but now solving something around it) .. can any of you show that (presumably) one line from sudoers doing, that sudo in ubu wants user password and NOT root's password ? | 14:50 |
| synks | Having no luck creating bootable windows usb on ubuntu. Unetbootin always stops at file 512, other tools I tried don't work at all - any help? | 14:51 |
| ntz | "normal" (and sane) setup is that sudo wants root's password | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | !root | ntz | 14:51 |
| ubottu | ntz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:51 |
| ntz | cfhowlett: reread please .. | 14:51 |
| ntz | I know what sudo is | 14:51 |
| ntz | ah .. you're bot and you reacted on the string sudo ... all good then .. no prob | 14:52 |
| mete_ | hi everyone. I have a problem on my laptop (ubuntu 14.04). laptop speakers are working fine but headphones are not working. Can you help me? | 14:52 |
| EriC^^ | ntz: normal sudo doesn't ask for root's password | 14:53 |
| Seveas | ntz: no you don't know. sudo always asks for the invoking user's password, *not* the root password. | 14:53 |
| lifeforms | I'd like to automatically start and background a command at boot on 12.04 LTS, is there a recommended way to create an (upstart/init) script to do this nicely? | 14:53 |
| EriC^^ | ntz: you add a person to a group that has access to certain commands, or you can add a user alone | 14:53 |
| Seveas | and that's not just on Ubuntu, that's upstream sudo and every distro | 14:53 |
| MoonLove | hello, can someone help me, no soun in ubuntu | 14:54 |
| MoonLove | no soun in ubuntu | 14:54 |
| synks | Alternative to UNetbootin for windows bootable usb? Unetbootin stops after 512 file.. | 14:54 |
| EriC^^ | ntz: i think you're talking about su | 14:54 |
| MoonLove | no sound in ubuntu sorry | 14:54 |
| Guest90244 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 14:54 |
| ntz | EriC^^: in ubuntu sudo wants user password .. in all other systems including solaris and whatever wants sudo root's password or the password of the user supposed to run the command you use sudo for | 14:54 |
| Seveas | ntz: nonsense. sudo never asks for the root password. That's su. | 14:55 |
| ntz | > sudo /bin/echo hello | 14:55 |
| ntz | root's password: | 14:55 |
| ntz | NO, omg .. seems like you ubuntists live in the bubble | 14:56 |
| ntz | again: only ubuntu implementation of sudo behaves like that | 14:56 |
| Seveas | nope. | 14:56 |
| mete_ | Guest90244: bash: /home/mete/.config/pulse: Is a directory | 14:56 |
| Seveas | unless you have an actual Ubuntu problem and not just lying rants about sudo, please leanve. | 14:56 |
| k1l | ntz: sudo needs the users pw. thats it | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | ntz, there are sound reasons for the sudo structure. don't like? don't use. simple | 14:57 |
| ntz | cfhowlett: I only wanted a respective part of unbuntu sudoers doing that sudo wants user's pwd instead of root pwd | 14:58 |
| compdoc | there is no root password | 14:58 |
| Seveas | ntz: that's not in the sudoers file, that's sudos behaviour. | 14:58 |
| EriC^^ | ntz: sudo doesn't ask for root's pass | 14:59 |
| somsip | ntz: if a user had access to the root password, they could log in as root. So they would not have to use sudo. Which would mean that the protection of using sudo would be completely broken. So you are erroneous in what you are saying | 14:59 |
| teward | ntz: sudo allows a user, when configured in sudoers with access to use sudo for things, to use their own password as an auth mechanism to gain superuser rights for that command - it asks for the user's password, not root's password, because there is no root password. | 14:59 |
| Seveas | EriC^^: according to ntz' lies it does on other systems. He's just trolling. | 15:00 |
| EriC^^ | ntz: maybe you're using the same pass and you're mistaken? | 15:00 |

| ikonia | southside right, so again google - bug report | 16:41 |
| Lucax | how to run as root? | 16:41 |
| southside | ikonia: OK thanks | 16:41 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | fisa, you could use xrandr to configure it at runtime | 16:42 |
| tnkhanh | ActionParsnip: fisa: I mean "locate" is astronomically faster than the search in GUI. I can't even imagine :o | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tnkhanh: I know, I use locate too, kicks ass | 16:42 |
| ActionParsnip | tnkhanh: but if there are NEW files made and updatedb has not been ran after they were made, locate will not see them | 16:42 |
| fisa | Eduard_Munteanu: oh! didn't know xrandr, will explore that. Thanks! | 16:42 |
| southside | I have updatedb as a cron job every 4 hours | 16:43 |
| ActionParsnip | southside: nice :) | 16:43 |
| lh_ | ls | 16:43 |
| fisa | tnkhanh: grep does text search incredibly fast, searching in the contents of the files | 16:43 |
| Eduard_Munteanu | fisa, that, or nvidia-settings if using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. | 16:43 |
| lh_ | quit | 16:44 |
| tnkhanh | fisa: wow amazing, must try :D | 16:44 |
| fisa | Eduard_Munteanu: I'm using bumblebee, which I believe installs something from nvidia, but I'm not sure. I don't know a lot about graphics configs, and optimus complicates everything an order of magnitude more | 16:44 |
| tnkhanh | ActionParsnip: my updatedb runs very fast too. Makes it even more amazing --' | 16:45 |
| ActionParsnip | tnkhanh: yeah SSDs or a fast RAID array does that :) | 16:46 |

| dts|pokeball | EriC^^, cause its just for a simple eval bot | 18:44 |
| ahop | Should I do these things (<VirtualHost :80> ...) in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-enables/* ? | 18:44 |
| Quitta | I believe it installed itself when I opened 'Additional drivers' in the system settings | 18:44 |
| zebra111 | Quitta try loading the driver again and see if it removes itsself when you reboot | 18:45 |
| Quitta | I'm really confused how it is suddenly removed from my system. | 18:45 |
| Quitta | How can I load a driver (a) | 18:45 |
| zebra111 | How did you load it the first time quitta? | 18:45 |
| Quitta | Like I said, I believe I ust opened the 'Additional Drivers' application from the system settings panel. | 18:46 |
| Quitta | But I can be wrong, since it's been a year or so, and Im a total noob in this field :) | 18:46 |

| ActionParsnip | ara_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso | 21:19 |
| navad | what must i do so i can have another user have svn+ssh access to the server and repo? | 21:19 |
| Jordan_U | ara_: What is your end goal? | 21:21 |
| ara_ | Jordan_U, i want to mount 2 iso's and they should get the same device id each time, so wine can map them to the same fake windows drive | 21:22 |
| ara_ | some windows games search for the cd drive letter on which they were installed on | 21:23 |
| dlam | hmm how do i make Alt+backspace delete the previous word like Ctrl+W on desktop apps? | 21:24 |
| ara_ | s/on/from/ | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | ara_: If you're really talking just about mounting the iso (rather than having it emulate a physical CD), then just mounting via fstab should get you the contents reliably mounted to the same directory, then you can configure wine to treat those directories as specific virtual drive letters. | 21:26 |
| ara_ | guess i'll just use fstab | 21:26 |

| ikonia | Griz64: how did you upgrade ? | 22:09 |
| Xsn00py | hi, i'm having problems with low resolution on intel optiplex 755. I've installed the intel drivers, used xconf, used xrandr, etc, but still nothing. Any ideas??? | 22:09 |
| kleiber | Dear friends, that Ubuntu can install good. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or Ubuntu 14.10 | 22:09 |
| ikonia | kleiber: look at the difference and see which one fits your needs best | 22:09 |
| MoonLove | jhutchins lon list i do not see it its difficult to find it | 22:10 |
| Griz64 | ikonia, yes. | 22:10 |
| Griz64 | to the lastest LTS | 22:10 |
| ikonia | Griz64: how did you upgrade, the answer is not "yes" | 22:10 |
| k1l_ | kleiber: do you want to /can upgrade ubuntu all 6 months? | 22:10 |
| Griz64 | ikonia, apologies. misread. via the upgrade the system offered. from within the o/S. | 22:11 |
| kleiber | where I can see the differences of both | 22:11 |
| MoonLove | jhutchins very long list i do not see it its difficult to find it | 22:11 |
| ikonia | Griz64: from what version ? | 22:11 |
| kleiber | 14.04 LTS or 14.10 | 22:11 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> kleiber: do you want to /can upgrade ubuntu all 6 months? | 22:12 |
| kleiber | with 14.10 kll | 22:12 |
| Griz64 | ikonia, to the latest LTS as far as i know) | 22:12 |
| k1l_ | kleiber: if you install 14.10 you have to upgrade all 6 months. | 22:13 |
| ikonia | Griz64: I'm going to stop now, as you appear to not be reading my questions and responding with different answer | 22:13 |
| MoonLove | jhutchins i have dummy output | 22:13 |
| kleiber | I found on a website. that said that LTS had support for up to five years, whereas the 1410 only 6 months | 22:13 |
| Xsn00py | Can any one help with graphics problem on 14.04??? Low resolution issues | 22:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: what gpu? | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | kleiber: if you install 14.04 you have 5 years support. so you can wait untill 16.04 and then upgrade 14.04 to 16.04. so if you got wth 14.10 you need to upgrade all 6 months untill 16.04 | 22:13 |
| Xsn00py | intel optiplex 755 | 22:14 |
| Jordan_U | k1l_: s/all 6 months/every 6 months/ :) | 22:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: if you run: lspci | grep -i vga , what is output? | 22:14 |
| k1l_ | Jordan_U: yes :) | 22:14 |
| kleiber | okey kll | 22:14 |
| Griz64 | ikonia, i apologize again. it's a mad scramble here trying to get this laptop running. my mother has been diagnosed with cancer and is getting ready to board a plane for the Cancer Treatment Center and all hell is breaking loose. I'll come back later when life has slowed down. i can always mail this to her. | 22:14 |
| kleiber | then install major 14.04 LTS | 22:14 |
| kleiber | is for one PC new | 22:15 |

| kleiber | with 64 bits or 32 bits | 22:15 |
| kleiber | kll | 22:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: there is an Intel driver installer. OmgUbuntu has a guide | 22:15 |
| k1l_ | kleiber: when your hardware got 64bits (which 99% of new hardware does) there is no reason for not going 64bit | 22:16 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: I've installed that but it doesn't improve anything | 22:16 |

| welovfree_ | How can I install terminal commands (for example the tree command) offline, can I do that? | 22:20 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: would like and prefer not to have a black border | 22:20 |

| Jordan_U | !offline | welovfree_ | 22:20 |
| ubottu | welovfree_: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD | 22:20 |

| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: yes but its not essential. Its a nice to have. You can see the display and use the system..... | 22:21 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: it works perfectly with my thinkpad - pushes out to 1920x1200 | 22:21 |
| welovfree_ | ubottu: acctually I don't have an internet connection | 22:21 |
| ubottu | welovfree_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:21 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: I like your reasoning | 22:21 |
| welovfree_ | Jordan_U: acctually I don't have an internet connection | 22:22 |
| MoonLove | kil_ nothing | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: the Xorg.0.log will tell you what is going on. Your screen does do the resolution you stated. is this a new install? | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | MoonLove: did you read the whole thread? | 22:22 |

| yuriy_ | Hey guys, I have a problem with sound on my monitor connected thru HDMI. I described the issue here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254042 but no one seems to know | 22:23 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: Yes it is | 22:23 |
| MoonLove | kil_ yes i dont find something important foe me | 22:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Xsn00py: you could try the Xorg edgers PPA, see if it helps | 22:23 |
| jhutchins | MoonLove: You never said if the module was loaded. | 22:23 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: I'll have a look at that. thanks | 22:23 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree_: Ubottu's suggestion is for when you don't have an internet connection on the machine you want to install software to, but you do have an internet connection on another (preferably linux based) machine. Is that not the case for you? | 22:23 |
| k1l_ | MoonLove: you read the 4 sites? if you really want to solve your soundcard issue which seems typical for that soundcard, then you would have read carefully | 22:24 |
| MoonLove | i try | 22:24 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: the log file is stating 'No layout section, no screen section, no monitor specified....' | 22:24 |
| jhutchins | k1l_: Not a native english speaker. | 22:24 |
| k1l_ | ok | 22:25 |
| welovfree_ | Jordan_U: yeah it's my case but the suggestion is not clear for me can you help | 22:25 |
| jhutchins | welovfree_: Try doing what the ubottu factoid suggested. | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree_: Sure. Are you familiar with Synaptic package manager? Do you have it installed on the OS that doesn't have an internet connection? | 22:26 |
| welovfree_ | Jordan_U: I am new to the ubuntu world :( | 22:27 |
| Xsn00py | ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help. | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree_: What version of Ubuntu is installed on the offline machine? Why can't you connect it to the internet? | 22:28 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree_: if you run: sudo apt-get update , do you see any errors? | 22:29 |
| welovfree_ | Jordan_U: ubuntu 14.10 as virtual machine in vmware under windows 7 | 22:30 |
| welovfree_ | ActionParsnip: yeah but I don't remember | 22:31 |

| welovfree_ | ActionParsnip: I am not home right now I don't have access to the computer right now, I am using my friends computer to get the package that's why I asked here if I can download it offline, then go and install it in my unbuntu? | 22:39 |

| MoonLove | ActionParsnip> now i can run alsamixer and select a card | 22:40 |

| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: what? debs | 22:41 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree_: the debs are used to install applications in Ubuntu | 22:42 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: so I can find package then install them? | 22:43 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree_: What package are you trying to install? | 22:44 |
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: tree | 22:45 |
| === saschpe is now known as zz_saschpe | ||
| === JenniB is now known as jenniB | ||
| Jordan_U | welovfree__: You are lucky, that only has one dependency, libc6, which you already have. | 22:48 |
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: so? | 22:49 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree__: So you can download the .deb file from http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/tree , copy it to your offline machine, then double click the .deb file to install it. | 22:50 |
| blizzow | where can I see what flags a package was configured with? | 22:51 |
| === z_ is now known as Guest7946 | ||
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: wow, I don't have to use the terminal? :) | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree__: Correct :) | 22:52 |
| Jordan_U | blizzow: Grab the source pacakge. "apt-get source packagename" (run as your user, *not* with sudo) will download the source package into the current directory. You can then look at the debian/rules file to see how the package was built. | 22:53 |
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: and what about other packages having more than one dependency? | 22:54 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree__: Then you get to have fun grabbing their dependencies, and the dependencies of their dependencies. This is where you really want to first use the offline machine to determine exactly what list of packages you need. | 22:55 |
| mojtaba | Hi, I want to buy a new laptop and install ubuntu on it. Do you have any suggestion for me? | 22:56 |
| bekks | Suggestions on what? | 22:56 |
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: and double click on them all? the dependencies required are the ones reterned in the terminal error when trying to install the package offline using apt-get install? | 22:57 |
| mojtaba | bekks: On what model? | 22:57 |
| jarnos | How can you use an old Launchpad account to log in to Launchpad? It only onffers Ubuntu One account login.. | 22:57 |
| Jordan_U | jarnos: Just use your launchpad credentials. | 22:58 |
| freeroute | hi, hi, is this PPA trustworthy? - https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 22:59 |
| Jordan_U | mojtaba: You can buy laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed from https://system76.com/ and http://zareason.com/shop/home.php among others. | 23:00 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest84552 | ||

| Jordan_U | mojtaba: You're welcome. | 23:01 |
| jarnos | Jordan_U, thanks. Can you migrate old launchpad account to ubuntu one account? | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | jarnos: As far as I know that's already been done automatically, which is why you are able to log in using the same credentials. | 23:02 |
| jarnos | Jordan_U, in my case, if I login by Ubuntu One account, it does not show my old "related bugs". | 23:03 |
| welovfree__ | Jordan_U: thank you very much for you time really appreciate your help thank you, you guy on #ubuntu are the best :) | 23:03 |
| Jordan_U | welovfree__: You're welcome :) | 23:04 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: its a PPA and has the same caveats as any other PPA | 23:12 |
| === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris | ||
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: but some PPAs are more trusted than others, right? If it's an (official) PPA by the LibreOffice team then I'd be more inclined to add that PPA. | 23:14 |
| * Chuck_Norris wonders how is ActionParsnip's netbooks doing ? -.- | 23:14 | |
| Chuck_Norris | freeroute: that ppa is the official | 23:14 |
| freeroute | oh, excellent. | 23:14 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: I start a PPA and could put "official" on it. It doesn't mean anything | 23:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: I'm on a Samsung Tab2 7 | 23:15 |
| freeroute | well yeah but then someone would ask the LibreOffice team and they'll of course decline any involvement. Then Fox news will get called, the PPA maintainer's house will get surrounded by police and PPA maintainer will be forced to surrender. | 23:16 |
| navad | so i got the putty to work, but can't get svn. tortoise isn't connecting to svn+ssh://user@awsserver.com/srv/svn/myrepo | 23:17 |
| navad | any thoughts what i can look for? | 23:17 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: exactly. A PPA is a PPA so the packages cannot be fully verified to the extent the official packages can | 23:17 |
| navad | i believe the subversion config is setup proper as "ssh = TortoisePlink.exe -i C:\Users\user\Desktop\PrivKey.ppk | 23:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | ActionParsnip: doh! i rememeber you using a netbook a loooong time ago xD (like a year or two) | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: I had a Del Latitude D420, my girlfriend has it now | 23:18 |
| Demon_Jester | hey guys, i am trying to write shell script that compares two files that contain letters and numbers (example 5D9E3G) but I get integer expression expected is there a way I can compare both alpha numeric with throwing that error/ | 23:18 |
| Chuck_Norris | ActionParsnip: cool :) | 23:18 |
| Demon_Jester | without throwing* | 23:19 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: this is why LibreOffice should add a link to LaunchPad on this link - http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ | 23:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | navad: there is a software for windows that gives some posix compability | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: maybe you are thinking of the Del...? | 23:19 |
| Chuck_Norris | navad: maybe with that sofwate you can get svn, but i don't remember its name, | 23:19 |
| welovfree__ | a program in in beta means that it's in test, right? | 23:20 |
| navad | i'm using tortoise SVN | 23:20 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: yes | 23:20 |
| Chuck_Norris | ActionParsnip: i didn't remember but, yeah, it was a netbook | 23:21 |
| welovfree__ | k1l_: so it's not recommended for an installation? | 23:21 |
| xangua | freeroute: a PPA is a PPA, doesn't matter if Mark himself maintains it | 23:21 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: depends on the exact program. sometimes its usable already | 23:21 |
| welovfree__ | k1l_: ok | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: its a think notebook with removable optical drive. Its dying but she keeps it alive with some form of voodoo. I'd have snapped it over my knee ages ago and got new | 23:22 |
| Chuck_Norris | navad: and... i forgot that you may want to go and ask in ##windows it is offtopic here | 23:22 |
| navad | my server is ubuntu, that's why i tried here first | 23:22 |
| navad | thanks tho | 23:22 |
| freeroute | xangua: so all of Ubuntu's official PPAs have to be handled the same way as unofficial ones? | 23:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | ActionParsnip: lo/ | 23:23 |
| welovfree__ | how can I install tar.bz2 in ubuntu? | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | navad: why use putty as client, you can ssh from terminal and test keys | 23:23 |
| Chuck_Norris | navad: but if you are running ubuntu why you use tortoise ? | 23:23 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: what program? | 23:23 |
| AnotherAnon | udev will not start because devtmpfs is not enabeled in my arm kernel | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: what is in the file? You cant possinly expect an intelligemt reply to that | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: "how do you install .zip in windows" | 23:24 |
| navad | ActionParsnip: actually TortoisePlink is the client. I tested with putty and it worked. Chuck_Norris: svn is running in ubuntu, i'm running tortoise on a windows box trying to connect to the svn server | 23:24 |
| welovfree__ | k1l_: Sublime Text 2.0.2.tar.bz2 | 23:24 |
| === Guest94218 is now known as slowz | ||
| ActionParsnip | navad: does it have a verbose option to show it connecting | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: there is an easier way to install that | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 23:25 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: extract them and find the setup.exe | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: but all I see are images....no setup.exe | 23:26 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: I am a absolute begnnier in the world of linux | 23:26 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: setup.exe? isnt there a linux version? | 23:26 |
| k1l_ | !info sublime | 23:26 |
| ubottu | Package sublime does not exist in utopic | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | k1l_: I was showing how futile just knowing the extension of a file is | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: my file has no setup.exe, just seeing some images. How do I install this?" | 23:27 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/172698/how-do-i-install-sublime-text-2-3 | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: just knowing the file extension tells you absolutely nothing about the file, especially in archives, in ANY OS. | 23:28 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: as a beginner its easier to use a PPA IF the program is not already in the official ubuntu repos | 23:28 |
| AnotherAnon | will compiling a new kernel now with devtmps fix the problem ? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: a .zip file etc is just a collection of files in an archive, nothing more | 23:28 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: yeah I know that | 23:28 |
| Guest4502 | In apparmor.d, how do I allow executing a specific file and killing the process later? | 23:29 |
| zubterraneo | hola!! | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: if you knw, why was your question "how do I install .tar.bz2"? | 23:29 |
| Chuck_Norris | there is a ppa for sublime-text -.- (from webupd8) | 23:29 |
| RB2 | Hey guys, I just updated the kernel on Ubuntu 14.10 and I'm seeing | 23:30 |
| RB2 | [450533.640533] Request for unknown module key 'Magrathea: Glacier signing key: af30e7f37b41301c96f985f4789da5f4373e9e92' err -11 | 23:30 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: I meant what's inside actually :) | 23:30 |
| RB2 | [450533.640575] libcrc32c: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel | 23:30 |
| RB2 | is that normal? | 23:30 |
| Chuck_Norris | welovfree__: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2 ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install sublime-text | 23:30 |
| Ben64 | welovfree__: the point is what is inside is not necessarily installable | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: we cannot know the content of every archive you can find online.... | 23:30 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: if you use the command Chuck_Norris gave, it will install the application. It will also update it when the PPA is updated :-) | 23:31 |
| Chuck_Norris | even though i heard "Brackets" (from Adobe) is better -.- | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: [ and ] are brackets :-) | 23:31 |
| ActionParsnip | RB2: I suggest you report a bug if you suspect something awry | 23:32 |
| Chuck_Norris | ActionParsnip: xD yeah! that one, i used a couple of time, but, in that moment i was kinda noob web developer, not saying right now i am a pro but... | 23:32 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: what are the extensions that can tell me it's an install-able? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Chuck_Norris: every day is a schoolday | 23:33 |
| welovfree__ | in ubuntu | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: debs will install their contents if deps are met. | 23:34 |
| Ben64 | welovfree__: ActionParsnip explained this already, extensions don't really mean anything | 23:34 |
| Chuck_Norris | good to see ya ActionParsnip, gtg cya latter | 23:35 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: so linux is totally a different planet? | 23:35 |
| welovfree__ | because in windows .exe and msi means installable | 23:35 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: you can even rename a .bmp to .png then ask the sytem what the file is and it will tell you it is a bitmap image. Windows is primitive and uses the file extension to tell what the file is, like it used to do in the old 8.3 DOS days. Linux is a modern OS and looks at the data | 23:35 |
| AnotherAnon | if I compile a custom kernel with devmpfs enabled will it support arm architecture ? | 23:36 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: you can even remove the extension and be fine | 23:36 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: so that's why they say linux if freedom hahaha | 23:36 |
| welovfree__ | and powerful :) | 23:36 |
| k1l_ | welovfree__: .deb is meant to be like the installer on windows.packed stuff like .zip .rar or .tar.bz means you need to read the README what to do to install | 23:37 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: some people like to label their scripts with .py for python and .sh for bash, but that is also not needed but is useful to humans | 23:37 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: for readability? | 23:38 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: yes, so that when you run "ls" you can immediately see what is what | 23:38 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: like commenting a source code, comments aren't needed but helpful for humans | 23:39 |
| ActionParsnip | welovfree__: exactly | 23:39 |
| welovfree__ | ActionParsnip: it's my first time asking here in #ubuntu and I learn so much already :) thank you guys for your time :) | 23:40 |
| MrSavage | I want to develop with gtk+ 2 | 23:48 |
| MrSavage | what package do i need to install? | 23:48 |
| danbeam | hey, I have a patch that fixes an old package that's probably customized/bundled for an old version of ubuntu (smartmontools 5.38-3ubuntu3). where do I send this patch/does anyone care? | 23:48 |
| danbeam | this patch fixes `service smartmontools status` for Ubuntu 10.04, which is technically still supported | 23:49 |
| k1l_ | danbeam: its lucid still uses that version. file a bug on launchpad.net to that package and add the patch. so the maintainer sees it | 23:50 |
| danbeam | k1l_: great, thx | 23:50 |
