[00:02] daftykins: What boggles me the most is why it's incredibly slow. It's connected, and has 3/4 of the "bars". [00:03] I have windows 7 iso and using ubuntu 14.10 [00:03] daftykins: sorry for the spam but the only other fix I've tried is sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and commenting out "dns=dnsmasq" [00:03] deepubuntu: Try asking in ##windows. [00:03] Jordan_U: Its more of a question for ##ubuntu then #windows [00:03] deepubuntu, look in the dash for the startup disk creator choose your iso and choose any usb to install it then you should be able to boot there [00:04] Dracus: what's the data rate? try an "iwconfig" in a terminal and share it to us via http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:04] blackangelpr: I tried that [00:04] but its not accepting windows 7 iso [00:05] although I am able to create a ubuntu live pen drive using startup disk creater [00:05] deepubuntu, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/create-bootable-windows-7-usb-drive.html [00:05] Dracus: that is highly unlikely to be a DNS issue, but you can experiment with that too by seeing how long resolutions take (translating domains into IP addresses) by running "dig domain.com" in a terminal (where domain.com is any you care to try) [00:06] I've pinged stuff for fun, including the address of google.ca and my network provider's address [00:06] the data is here: paste.ubuntu.com/9600032/ [00:06] Brb, laundry [00:07] deepubuntu: you can try unetbootin but i understand making Windows 7 work with it is a little quirky. ultimately it's easier to create a Windows bootable from Windows itself. [00:09] Dracus: can you paste some of these pings and DNS queries (as per my instruction) then? [00:09] back! [00:09] Yes, I can, connection barring [00:09] I'm on the IRC on a separate computer so it'll take me a bit longer [00:09] daftykins: unetbootin is not supporting in ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 [00:10] blackangelpr, Thanks! [00:10] and why I am a Deep ubuntu if I cannot create a bootable dive for windows user in ubuntu [00:10] EiEiOhh, welcome [00:10] deepubuntu: you use the lower part of the unetbootin screen for iso's that don't show up in the drop down menu [00:10] and they can make it in just a second [00:11] deepubuntu: you say this based on what? [00:11] deepubuntu, All you need is a ntfs partition with a boot flag and extract the iso to it. [00:11] using GParted Partition Editor now [00:11] !info unetbootin | deepubuntu This would seem to disagree with you...

I have LVM in my ubuntu installation and i want to know how I can make a snapshot of the whole system, if possible, for example if I install a experimental software and i don't like it, go bak in time.... it is possible?? or make a snapshot and use it to install the experimental software and when I'm done I return to my normal ubuntu is it possible? Thanks [00:16] the data is here: paste.ubuntu.com/9600084/ [00:16] daftykins: no worries, list in above link [00:17] DiogoSaraiva, i think this should help you http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/snapshots_backup.html [00:18] i already see this [00:18] but i not understand [00:19] How do I get the encryption key for my home folder?

[00:20] i have a home server that was running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, i upgraded to 14.04 a few months ago. When I installed I did not use LVM but would now like to migrate to it. Will my 14.04 system have everything installed and ready to go by default? [00:20] I don't go on buzzfeed, let me try it [00:21] I have a ubuntu problem i cant seem to figure out. How do i remove a folder that was being used for autofs automounting. i stop the autofs process and it seems that i still cant delete it because it says the process is busy [00:21] Dracus: off the top of my head, xkcd.com theverge.com engadget.com theregister.co.uk etc etc [00:21] Funnily enough, use most of those. Buzzfeed returned an 85msec query time, no hangs that I can see [00:21] pantsofchocolate: How are you trying to delte this directory? What is the exact error message you're seeing? [00:21] :D [00:21] As an example, reddit.com/ took approximately one complete minute to load [00:21] ok [00:22] that is slow [00:22] pantsofchocolate, did you try from a live usb ? [00:22] Dracus: which version of ubuntu is this then?

[00:24] lsof on the folder returns nothing too [00:24] haha i did that [00:24] pantsofchocolate: always use rmdir for removing mountpoints! [00:24] Dracus: see if you can identify the driver in use with "lsmod | grep 802" [00:25] still returns device is busy [00:25] anyone else can help DiogoSaraiva i have installed the same lvm system but i had not play with it so far to be help full [00:25] pantsofchocolate: Please pastebin the output (if any) or "sudo fuser /mounted/".

You can do so from the terminal by running "pastebinit /proc/mounts", then post the URL that pastebinit gives you here. [00:29] Dracus: best idea i can think of, to avoid messing with your actual install, is boot a 14.04.1 live session and install the recommend bwcml-kernel-source driver as recommended by the additional drivers program... and see how that behaves. i'm assuming you've ruled out obvious stuff like environmental concerns by putting that laptop in the same room as the router to confirm [00:30] Will do. can I get an ez-pz copy and paste command to force a driver install? [00:31] https://dpaste.de/gAYP [00:31] the bottom 2 lines are it [00:32] Dracus: ah, not since you have dead wired no. the packages are hidden on the 'disc' though, so you just install dkms then bwcml-kernel-source after. should be in tonnes of guides online [00:32] pantsofchocolate: wow, those are a lot of options :D [00:32] aight, sweet.

I hade the same problem a couple of years ago. The technician replaced psu, mb, ram etc... but in the end I pulled the wires to the power button and voila it stopped wanting to turn it self off. [01:00] yeah... so i'm going to continue down the software route. thanks though [01:01] deepubuntu, definitely harder than it should be :P hope they allow to install win iso later on XD [01:01] burner: It's more common than you think with faulty power buttons.. safe you alot of grief just pulling those wires.. it will not even take you 4 min to do that and you will quickly see if it helps [01:02] Hi folks! I'm trying to get an Ubuntu virtual machine to connect to the internet, and I was told I should ask here. [01:02] virtualbox? did they send you here? :P [01:02] Yes.

[01:03] daftykins: Yeah they are lovely, since they forward guest OS issues to the guest OS support channels :) [01:04] blackangelpr: Thanks for the help and support and sorry if I said something wrong at that time but can you understand if a someone challenged you make win 7 bootable pen drive using ubuntu 14.10 and you spend whole night searching for it and you succeed at 06:33 [01:04] Vesta4: it usually just works out of the box for me [01:04] Vesta4: by default, it probably is... if you open a terminal in your guest and type "ifconfig" do you see it getting an ip on eth0? [01:04] bekks: if that's where the fault lies, i guess :> [01:04] daftykins: :D [01:04] * Vesta4 did not mean to start a channel war. [01:04] Vesta4: the live usb in the vm doesnt have internet access? [01:04] there's no war, carry on [01:04] Vesta4: Dont worry :) [01:05] Ok, lots of questions, where to start... [01:05] Vesta4: the last [01:05] daftykins: He is using a NAT interface in the vm settings, so he "just" need to ensure his eth0 config actually uses DHCP. [01:05] and move backwards [01:05] :P [01:05] deepubuntu, have a good rest buddy [01:05] burner - Windows7 host, ubuntu 14.04 guest. Tried both bridge and NAT. [01:05] bekks: why would that not be the standard 0o [01:05] burner (currently configured to NAT) [01:05] also why do i need to know? :D [01:05] Vesta4: and what was the result of your guest ubuntu IP via "ifconfig"? [01:06] blackangelpr: thanks :) [01:06] burner : No IP address on eth0 when reading ifconfig output [01:06] but there is an eth0 yes? [01:06] Eric^^ - I don't know what you mean by "live usb in the vm" [01:06] virtualbox? [01:07] Vesta4: when you first selected the iso to boot in the vm, to install ubuntu, did it have internet access? [01:07] burner - Yes, eth0 was listed. [01:07] Vesta4: i assume he means when you boot from the iso, does it work in the "try ubuntu" before you install it? [01:07] I didn't do the try option, I went right to installing it. While installing, it was not able to access the internet. [01:08] Vesta4: click on the vm and click on settings > network, is it enabled and NAT selected? [01:08] Eric^^ - Yes, it is enabled, and NAT is selected. [01:08] weird, that really should be all there is to it. reinstall virtualbox :) [01:09] Vesta4: did you checksum the iso? [01:09] No. [01:09] How about checking on how eth0 is configured...? [01:09] or set it manually through the network settings [01:09] bekks - where would I do that? [01:09] click the network, edit connections... [01:09] click wired, and edit [01:09] Vesta4: Did you take a look at the link I gave you? [01:09] unbelievable [01:10] un freaking believable [01:10] Got lost in the shuffle. Will do so now. === curiousx is now known as Chuck_Norris [01:11] In 5 minutes I could set the resolution on my widescreen with some nifty tools, so I upgrade and now all the gui tools are gone and I have to hack .conf scripts and hope that I can get everything back the way it was before. [01:11] Vesta4: set it as "bridge" [01:11] not impressed so with 14.04 [01:12] nmatrix9: apt-get install arandr [01:12] Burner - I tried to use the GUI to setup the connection before I came to IRC to ask for help. Trying to add a connection opens a window where I'm asked to enter MAC addresses, which was a little over my head. [01:13] nmatrix9: did you just update some video card driver? like nvidia? [01:13] nmatrix9: fwiw you're the first i've seen having issues setting a resolution due to 'not having the programs' o0 [01:15] phre4k, Are there any plans to re-add DisplayConfigGTK because honestly I've been playing with xrandr, krandr, somerandr. It's like come on now! In 12.04 I just had to run DisplayConfigGTK and I would be done in 60 seconds but now that's been removed and I have to manually figure everything out by hand. [01:15] Whatever happened to ease of use with Ubunut? [01:16] I think I reached my limit for today. Day 7 of trying to get started using Rails. Blah. [01:17] nmatrix9: There is definitely a Display section in Gnome Control Center. [01:20] Jordan_U, absolutely, it's not so much a matter of finding some displaying setting gui, but finding one that will allow me to select my monitor type from a list, clicking apply and getting the resolution instantly. These other xrandr, arandr whatdandr don't do anything as they only give one resolution of 620 x 480. [01:20] nmatrix9: graphic card ? [01:21] nmatrix9: i'd have been interested to know: 1) graphics hardware 2) driver in use 3) see a Xorg.0.log of this setup [01:21] because quite genuinely nobody else has had this [01:21] (that i've seen in here) [01:22] Chuck_Norris, GeForce GTX 550 Ti [01:22] Chuck_Norris with driver nvidia_331 recommended [01:22] so why weren't you using nvidia-settings? [01:23] daftykins, I did try to use Nvidia-settings but it's the same issue! The only resolution option I get is 800x600, 620x480. [01:24] nmatrix9: what monitor connection type? and that Xorg log would likely answer everything. [01:24] daftykins, Ubuntu 14.04 as far I can tell does not give me the same ease of use power I had with the earlier versions [01:24] i think something is screwy with your setup [01:25] daftykins, ok fair enough I'll get the log. [01:25] nmatrix9: that's the nvidia driver, what I have told you before :( [01:25] nope it doesn't run this badly [01:25] don't play the blame game [01:26] having problems accessing a shared windows 8.1 folder with my ubuntu 14.04 machine on home network [01:26] make sure win8.1 isn't part of a homegroup [01:27] will try it and check back [01:27] thanks! [01:28] daftykins, Here's my log file http://pastebin.com/ZvZEgyNq [01:28] daftykins: I don't want to blame, but the fact is, or at least is true with many of my friends, using ubuntu with just intel video card is much more easier than nvidia or ATI, and I will stop here :3 [01:28] daftykins, my connection type is DVI [01:29] [ 70459.040] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.13.0-43-generic root=/dev/mapper/volgroup_00-logical_volume_02 ro quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1440x900-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap [01:29] why are you booting with all that junk? :) [01:29] I have 3 partitions. sda1=slash then sda2=swap finally sda3= home. I need to expand the slash. I booted into a LIVE CD. I think I need to move my swap to the front of the drive because it is in the way of expanding slash after shrinking HOME. I see a key icon on the swap file and I cant move it. I think this is becasue I am using swap while on a LIVE CD. How can I complete the process of expanding slash? [01:29] daftykins, me? [01:30] nmatrix9: yep. and you're trying to feed it a busted xorg.conf [01:30] EiEiOhh: try right click on that swap partition and select swap off first? [01:31] daftykins, That grub line without it I would not be in this chan chatting right now. That was the only that got my X working, from another forum. [01:31] EiEiOhh: Moving swap to the beginning of the drive would require resizing your root filesystem by changing its start, which is requires *much* more IO than resizing by changing the start (it requires copying every block in the filseystem). [01:31] nmatrix9: right but your setup is completely messed up, according to *that* log file (are you sure this is /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? ) it shouldn't even be running. [01:32] It seemed to be the only thing that got my X working so that I could log into it. After countless other solutions and advice. [01:32] EiEiOhh: So you don't want to do that. How much more space do you want for /home/? Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l". [01:32] Stanley00: Brilliant.. that did it. DO I neew to swapon when im done? [01:33] nmatrix9: seems dubious, ho-hum depends how you want to proceed i guess. [01:33] EiEiOhh: "much more IO than resizing by changing the *end*" :) [01:33] nmatrix9: was this an upgrade install too, or a clean 14.04.x ? [01:34] EiEiOhh: You don't need that when on live cd, but remember to edit the fstab on your root (slash) to match your new partition layout, and reinstall boot loader too [01:35] * blackangelpr is away: (@_@) break time! [01:35] daftykins, wait a sec that pastebin of the log is incomplete, let me repaste. [01:35] nmatrix9: i figured it was just broken [01:36] nmatrix9: What happened when you simply tried to boot an Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD/USB, with no special options or work arounds? [01:36] How do I get Adobe Flash Plugin to work with Chromium on Ubuntu? [01:36] Magnus__: you don't. you use pepperflash [01:37] Stanley00: that went right over my head.. edit fstab and reinstall boot loader? [01:37] Where do I get pepperflash? [01:37] ok guys learning ubuntu as its not really all the same as debian [01:37] !find pepperflash [01:37] what do i install to get firmware for my wifi usb [01:37] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/CD0H0UeU [01:37] Found: pepperflashplugin-nonfree [01:37] Magnus__: ^ [01:37] nmatrix9: With uvesafb you aren't using native graphics drivers at all, even if you are able to achieve full resolution this way you will get no 3D acceleration and poor 2D performance as well. CPU usage will be through the roof, and unless you have very light requirements for your day to day activities it will not be a pleasant experience. [01:37] I have a rtl8188cuu [01:38] Magnus__: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9492325/ [01:38] Chuck_Norris: it tends to be frowned upon to throw third party PPAs at people in here. [01:39] nmatrix9: seriously, arandr is the shit. I never use anything else. [01:39] EiEiOhh: just a min, it's complicated :3 [01:39] aw darn, sorry for the language _again_ [01:39] I'm just not suited for a family friendly channel. [01:39] nmatrix9: phre4k: But none of the normal tools will work optimaly, if at all, as long as nmatrix9 is using uvesafb. [01:39] Jordan_U, after a few weeks and people talking about all of these wonderful tools the only thing that has worked, so far. Is the stuff that I had to do that your looking at right now. [01:40] nmatrix9: What happened when you simply tried to boot an Ubuntu 14.04 LiveCD/USB, with no special options or work arounds? [01:40] Jordan_U, LiveCD works, why are you asking? [01:41] Jordan_U, I did a clean install last night [01:41] nmatrix9: yep that's pretty predictable: [ 70470.294] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device DFP-0 [01:41] with a brand new SSD drive [01:41] nmatrix9: The LiveCD gives you full resolution with no work arounds? [01:42] Stanley00: ok.. Here's what Ive done so far.. Shrunk and committed home. Moved and shrunk swap (not yet committed) increased slash (not yet committed). I still have a small sliver of 1.oo mib unallocated I cant seem to do anything with [01:42] Jordan_U: then nmatrix9 should use a real driver. [01:42] phre4k: I agree :) [01:42] ok I need help getting the realtek 8188cu working ubuntu 14.04 [01:42] what repo do I need for the firmware [01:42] EiEiOhh: Where did you move swap to? [01:42] EiEiOhh: Don't worry about 1 MiB of unallocated space. [01:43] Jordan_U: Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 LTS was not exactly graphically rich in the install. [01:43] EiEiOhh: OK, here is what I found so far, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System <= this is for reinstall boot loader :3 [01:43] nmatrix9: so what did it look like? [01:43] I moved swap to just before home.. Everything is still in the same order.. slash, swap then Home [01:43] nmatrix9: OK. Please try booting from an Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop CD/USB, so that you have a completely default configuration, and report what happens. [01:44] nmatrix9: shame i didn't see this from the start. i would've liked to see a Xorg.0.log from the live session boot up === mish_ is now known as Mish|sleep [01:44] Jordan_U: sorry Jordan.. that last message was for you [01:44] Jordan_U, It was text mostly install [01:45] EiEiOhh: If you changed where /home/ starts, then expect it to take a long time to apply. Also, I hope that you have all important data on this drive backed up (as you always should). [01:45] nmatrix9: I understand that. I'm not concerned with installing at the moment, I'm concerned with testing in a known environment. Please boot from an Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop CD/USB and report what happens. [01:46] Jordan_U, Yeah I'm doing it now [01:47] i wouldn't be surprised if this one comes down to the display not giving EDID as it needs a good old fashioned power cycle :) [01:47] Jordan_U: home is still at the end after swap but it was shrunk [01:47] i.e. mains cable firmly removed. [01:48] anyone use vga switcheroo? [01:48] can anyone help with wifi [01:48] rneese: what did your research uncover as to what needs doing for that realtek model? [01:49] I have a 8188cu [01:49] but I need the firmware for it [01:49] thorie: just ask your *real* question please :) [01:49] I know debian has a repo with it in it but is there firmware for ubuntu [01:50] as I cant find it with aptitude [01:51] rneese: are you connected to internet in the machin with the realtek pluged in ? [01:52] I am hardwired connected [01:52] machine* [01:52] its not finding the dongle because the firmware is missuing [01:52] im trying to use ubuntu with my mac, but i don't understand this vgaswitcheroo stuff on this page http://askubuntu.com/questions/184406/how-to-switch-between-gfx-cards-on-macbook-pro-15-8-2 [01:52] but yes I am on the system === razor-home is now known as razorsharph [01:53] ok plug the realtek then: sudo apt-get install curl [01:53] how can I use my radeon with ubuntu? [01:53] curl is installed [01:54] thorie: I think you shouldn't do anything. Don't fix when it works? [01:54] Chuck_Norris: you and curl :P [01:54] rneese: now open a terminal and copy and paste this: lsusb | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw then paste here the url that will pop up [01:55] is there not a firmware pkg like on debian [01:55] Stanley00: it works but i can't use an external monitor :( the mini display port is active only when the radeon is being used [01:55] judging by my googling, nope [01:55] rneese: idk if there a .deb but i found a link to fix that problem [01:56] 503 Backend fetch failed. [01:56] rneese: i think this will help: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/reserve-7 i am just checking chipset [01:57] its the rtl 8188cu [01:57] anyone here using ubuntu builder? [01:57] Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter [01:58] thorie: I've not used mac before. So I cann't help you much, just wait here for some other. sorry [01:59] ok thanks [01:59] rneese: ok ok, but we need to no exactly, ok then, that guide should be ok, now, do you need any help followin that guide ? [02:00] Stanley00: so the boot repair need to be run AFTER I commit my changes? [02:00] seems like I would be easier to get debian img [02:00] this is alot more work then debian for the firmware [02:00] EiEiOhh: yes [02:01] rneese: idk about debian, i think to remember somthing about "module-assistance" or something like that but... idk i use only ubuntu -.- [02:02] The link says it can be in LIVECD.. Right? [02:02] EiEiOhh: yes, and it's should be done in live cd :3 [02:02] we need to know* exactly... [02:04] ok.. committed changes. Will now run boot-repair [02:04] EiEiOhh: what are you doing? [02:05] so any up to date guides on getting ubuntu on a macbooke? all efforts seem to be leading me to a black screen on boot and I’m pretty much at a fricken loss. was easier to get it running properly under powerpc :P [02:05] hi [02:05] FSK405C: it's all experimental, so at your own risk really. [02:05] !mac [02:05] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [02:06] nothing besides that, that i know of [02:06] EriC^^: (s)he is resizing ubuntu's partition, and I suggest to repair boot loader too :3 [02:06] EriC^^: I needed to expand the size of my slash partition and shrunk my home partition. I have my swap partition between the two [02:06] slash partition? of guns n roses? [02:06] I dont mind risk … been playing with boot options for three days, a half dozen reinstalls and … those pages are dated =( [02:07] FSK405C: be sure to update them with your success! [02:07] but thanks :) [02:07] ahahahahaha [02:07] FSK405C: you're using a 14.04.1 mac ISO yes? [02:07] have u use gparted? [02:07] FSK405C: did you try "nomodeset" ? [02:07] I saw wut you did thar, daftykins =p [02:07] I did :( [02:07] FSK405C: i'm serious, i added one of those pages just the other day [02:07] and I am :) [02:08] EiEiOhh: nevermind [02:08] I did as in tried nomodeset, and am as in 14.04 [02:08] actually I’ve tried a few versions 14.04, 14.10, 12.04, etc :( [02:08] daftykins: Im gathering you had much better luck than I.. =o [02:09] FSK405C: well it was on a ghetto late 2007 thing [02:09] Im on a ghetto 2010 thing :| [02:09] EiEiOhh: :) if you have a live usb reboot and if it doesn't work reinstall grub [02:09] I just saw the GnR reference. That was amusing. [02:10] GnR ref? [02:10] don’t mind me, just woke =o [02:10] scroll back like one min [02:12] EriC^^: so my ubuntu live 14.04 cd (what I used to resize the partitions) does not have boot-repair. can I shutdown LIVE and reboot into a LIVE USB? [02:13] EiEiOhh: yeah sure [02:13] EiEiOhh: shutdown, remove the cd, and see if your ubuntu boots === keith_ is now known as kjf === kjf is now known as kjf2015 [02:13] if it doesn't then boot the cd and then you can reinstall grub from there [02:13] EriC^^: ok.. fingers and eyes crossed [02:15] hi all. I have a directory with over a thousand mp3 which are mostly properly tagged. Is there a software that I can use to view them by genre and then move all mp3 files of each genre to a folder. This is so I can use the music on a USB drive in my car. I've tried Clementine and Picard so far, with no luck [02:15] kjf2015: can you view the tag in the commandline? [02:16] EriC^^, no idea how to do that [02:16] that's what you want [02:16] kjf2015: write your own script to do that, it's much faster :3 [02:16] Stanley00, don't know how [02:17] kjf2015: once you can get the tag from the command line it's a done deal [02:17] thing is I did this for a separate USB drive with my music in FLAC for the living room, but cannot remember the name of the software [02:17] uhh EriC^^ don't now how [02:17] know [02:17] i'll give you the command [02:17] great [02:18] hello [02:19] EriC^^: so if it boots, I'm golden? and the ubuntu channel is my daddy? [02:19] Stanley00: no need for a script with cases, he can jst use the tag as the dir to send the file to [02:20] kjf2015: mp3info perhaps? [02:20] I created a group called "me" and changed the group of a folder to "me". And I have changed the permissions on that folder to allow the group members to write/read/execute to that folder: "drwxrwx_ _ _". I can't write to that folder though. cna someone please tell me, where did I get it wrong? [02:21] EriC^^: he need to "move all mp3 files of each genre to a folder", so I just think a script is needed here :3 [02:21] anon: added yourself to that group? [02:21] i did. [02:22] group anon: wheel...me... [02:22] Stanley00: he can do a "strip the tag and parse it", mv $file /music/$tag/$file; [02:24] EriC^^: one liner is still a *script* to me, but what ever, just focus on your command to give him first :3 [02:24] * blackangelpr is back (gone 00:49:30) [02:24] EriC^^: Stanley00 It looks like I am in good shape.. I booted fine and the partitions are as I resized. is there anything else I need to do to complete this? [02:24] Stanley00: i thought you meant to use a case, like this) do this that) do that bla) do bla [02:25] Stanley00: just saying can be done without a lot of typing and stuff [02:25] Stanley00: i'm telling you this more or less because it's getting late here and i might go to bed :) [02:25] anon: did you log out/back in? group membership is determined at login. [02:26] EriC^^: maybe "id3 -l files*.mp3 | grep whatever", mv $file /music/$tag/$file; ? === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [02:28] ahhhhhhh. that's it. thanks a lot [02:29] Chuck_Norris, that shows me all the files of a given genre, but how to then tell the mv command to move those files only? [02:34] Stanley00: EriC^^ Thank you guys for your help!! [02:34] Happy Holidays [02:34] EiEiOhh: welcome :3 [02:35] well that was encouraging .. I actually saw the splash screen before it went black that time. *facepalm* === Guest62111 is now known as Deviad [02:36] Hello gyys [02:36] guys* [02:37] I am getting crazy with an issue: I nstalled correctly dovecot, postfix, etc. however when I get to vimbadmin I have this error: [02:37] Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u 'pippo@livecupidon.com' -p 'debaninside' [02:37] I checked the permission in dovecot config files and they all have +r [02:37] also the doveadm has got +x on everyone [02:37] what can be the cause of this problem? [02:40] found the slow way to accomplish my task, Guayadeque, view by genre, copy by genre [02:41] kjf2015: noo [02:41] hold on [02:41] can someone give the link to download ubuntu 14.10 ? [02:42] landi: ubuntu.com [02:42] daftykins, that's where I'm looking for it [02:43] but there is just the 14.04 links [02:43] kjf2015: find . | while read bla; do cp $bla ./$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done [02:43] and I dont want to use torrents [02:43] kjf2015: make a dir with every genre first [02:43] landi: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [02:43] kjf2015: find . | while read bla; do cp $bla /path/to/Genre/dirs/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done [02:43] thanks [02:44] kjf2015: replace /path/to/Genre.. with where you put the Genres, they are case sensitive btw [02:44] EriC^^, thanks, but: 1) no idea what you are talking about, and 2) guayadeque creates a convenient directory tree genre/artist/album which I then consolidate to like 10 of them for simplicity [02:45] kjf2015: this will recursively go through every dir in your music dir and copy the music to the respective genre dirs [02:45] kjf2015: i almost got it :P for i in $(id3 -l Music/*.mp3 | awk '/Tango/,/^$/' | grep mp3) ; do cp $i test/; done the *.mp3 shoulnt have special characters, and the i have to delete ":" at the end of ever line -.- [02:46] EriC^^, what is bla supposed to be? [02:46] kjf2015: it's just a variable [02:46] it's supposed to be the path to the file it's checking the id3 of [02:46] EriC^^, where is it defined? [02:47] image -.- http://i.imgur.com/l2HoGbx.png [02:47] kjf2015: at where it has no $ at begin :3 [02:47] kjf2015: if you append echo before cp you'll see what the command will be [02:47] kjf2015: like a dry run === mike is now known as Guest35144 [02:52] Jordan_U, Seriously weird stuff is going on with my box [02:52] Jordan_U, I can't boot with the Ubuntu desktop cd [02:52] I was writing a script that will work in the startup menu under Ubuntu 12.04. Script below is an example and works from a terminal window perfectly. When executed from Startup the pause is ignored [02:52] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9600822/ [02:53] EriC^^, so if I am in director with the mp3 and want to move all Jazz mp3 then, will this work cp * ~/Desktop/mp3/jazz ./$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Jazz:.* " | awk '{print$2}') [02:53] Hello can anyone help me with my issue? [02:54] Error executing Dovecot password command: /usr/bin/doveadm pw -s 'cram-md5' -u 'pippo@livecupidon.com' -p 'debaninside' [02:54] EriC^^, or this ? cp * ~/Desktop/mp3/jazz/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Jazz:.* " | awk '{print$2}') [02:54] kjf2015: no, the only thing to modify is the /path/to/Genre/dir [02:55] Jordan_U, Did I mention that I use to have a dual monitor setup, until my primary monitor blew and now Iam stuck with this secondary monitor which won't go above 800x600 [02:55] kjf2015: nope [02:56] so EriC^^ then cp * /Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}') [02:56] so EriC^^ then cp * /Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l * | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}') [02:56] kjf2015: no, find . | while read bla; do cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done [02:57] kjf2015: but for safe, run find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done [02:57] Stanley00, i'm already in the directory with the music [02:57] kjf2015: but wait a minute [02:57] what good does find do for me [02:58] EriC^^: you forgot to make destination directories? [02:58] kjf2015: you need to create the Genre dirs in ~/Desktop/mp3/ [02:58] Stanley00: yeah he has to create them, he can do it automatically of course [02:58] id3 -L | awk '{print$2}' | xargs mkdir [02:58] it's pretty nuts though it will make a dir for every genre [02:58] :D === Guma is now known as Guma_ [02:59] you can delete empty dirs later i guess [02:59] rmdir * [03:00] daftykins, Well Iam reporting back that I cannot boot into Ubuntu desktop, I saw the splash screen and then it just stopped. [03:01] daftykins, is there a diagnostic tool for video cards in Ubuntu? [03:01] Chuck_Norris, EriC^^ , Stanley00 thanks for the help, can't get it to work, and additional glitch is that songs with the name of a genre in title get classified as that genre [03:02] using guayadeque i can only copy those that have Jazz as the tag genre [03:02] kjf2015: that doesn't make sense, it greps for the word Genre [03:03] kjf2015: you want to copy the ones with jazz only? [03:03] EriC^^, most of it doesn't make sense to me :) [03:03] nope EriC^^ all of them [03:04] some background EriC^^ this flat dir works fine on laptop, but car has limited screen and i don't want to die while being distracted, so wife (and DJ) for upcoming trip will be able to switch genres by navigating USB (car software can't pull tags auto magically) === Guma_ is now known as Guma [03:05] driving 8 hours tomorrow so hoping to have this done [03:05] ok cd ~/Desktop/mp3 [03:05] Anyone know of any diagnostic tools one can run on their videocard? [03:06] nmatrix9: maybe try the following -> Start a reboot and hold down the Shift key. Press the e key on getting the GRUB bootloader. [03:06] Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset (and/or xforcevesa) in their place [03:06] Press Ctrl and X at the same time to continue booting [03:06] kjf2015: if you want make a dir called genre so we don't mess things up [03:07] kjf2015: mkdir genre [03:07] squinty, few times I rebooted my wireless keyboard stopped functioning. [03:07] this nomodeset thing is quite common in 14.04 aint it. [03:07] kjf2015: did you make the dir? [03:08] jdfskitz: been in common use for years...basic troubleshooting method [03:08] squinty, Iam really starting to get suspicious of either my videocard or my monitor itself. Just wish I had some sort of system diagnostic tool I could run. [03:09] change your bootloader to load your network card or something, similar, it causes a delay which allows it to get to the bootloaded on occasion. then through a memory console or alt+f2 you can access a terminal and sudo nano /etc/conf/grub.conf (if i'm correct) and add nomodeset where he said [03:09] nmatrix9: from your previous description, probably video card driver related. [03:09] sorry, I'll back out. you know what you are doing [03:10] nmatrix9: no usb or ps2 extra keyboard hanging around ? [03:11] squinty, this whole business with funky xservers and even funkier video drivers is really stressing me out. [03:11] lol [03:11] it's worth it when you get it working [03:12] nmatrix9: take a break... try again later. :) no keyboard... try local thrift store and get one for a dollar or two.. [03:12] #build_roofs [03:13] EriC^^, is this the command find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}') [03:13] jdfskitz, yeah that's the thing unfortunately Iam short on time as I have some critical things I need to work on. At this point I have a few options 1. Go to try a different distro 2. Buy a new video card or 3 buy a new monitor I've already lost over a week battling this thing and it's really just driving up my emnity towards it. [03:13] nmatrix9: always good to have extra gear around when experimenting... no all systems/hardware install right out of the box :) [03:13] EriC^^, as a test i made /Desktop/mp3/Jazz [03:13] ran the command find . | while read bla; do echo cp $bla ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l $bla | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); [03:14] got a > prompt ??? [03:14] it needs done at the end [03:14] use "$bla" instead of $bla [03:14] squinty, that's the thing Ubuntu 11 and Ubuntu 12 worked like a dream. What the heck is causing 14.04 to be the spawn of Satan? [03:15] I forgot to mention option 4. Revert back to 12.04 [03:16] kjf2015: find /path/to/music | while read bla; do cp "$bla" ~/Desktop/mp3/$(id3 -l "$bla" | grep -o "Genre:.* " | awk '{print$2}'); done [03:16] about the recent ntp security issue, is there anything I need to do with a default install? do I need to run ntp-keygen? [03:16] i'm trying to access another computer and am having trouble. it boots up into ubuntu 14.10 and i can log in just fine. but then it just shows the cursor, the desktop, and the ubuntu watermark, and i can't do anything else except switch to a different tty. help? [03:17] nmatrix9: does your keyboard work with the livedvd 14.04.1? might be an indication there if tried [03:18] squinty, my keyboard worked for Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS strangely. [03:19] hi guys [03:19] kjf2015: to make the list of genres cd ~/Desktop/mp3 && id3 -L | awk '{print$2}' | xargs mkdir [03:19] That is what Iam using right now. === asus is now known as Guest87740 [03:20] kjf2015: once you're done with the find command cd ~/Desktop/mp3 && rmdir * ( if you don't have any other empty ones you dont want to remove ) === IdleOne is now known as io [03:20] it will delete the empty dirs, good night [03:21] so when you hit alt+f2 can does it bring up a console [03:21] matrix. [03:21] squinty, my keyboard works with Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS [03:21] #geekblogtv [03:22] squinty, on recuse mode [03:22] hello guys!

[03:45] chris___: If you have files on different partitions than /, maybe, sometimes. [03:45] chris___: Depends, if you have a separate /home directory on the 13.04 install .

[04:17] Bashing-om, I'll see this link! [04:18] andrewXubuntu, Did you lose any data? [04:19] nmatrix9, I can see my old partition, well I have some backups, but I want to know if it's possible to fix this mess! :) [04:20] Bashing-om: sorry one more question -- it says "mount point /mnt/boot does not exist"... should i create a /mnt/boot directory or just mount it to /mnt? [04:20] andrewXubuntu, Actually if you mean recover some data then yes I think it is possible, use Testdisk. Also Ubuntu has a utility for resizing partitions graphically I'd try that if I were you.

But I do not think 'mkdir' will cause any harm or impedence . But like I have said I am tired and not think'n to good, tough when one has to force the thought process. I had best quit for this session. IF you are carefull with boot-repair It might fix the issue , Boot-repair is good .

It's your call. Nothing inherently dangerous about doing it per se.

If you mean hosting on wp.com, I've no idea [06:38] somsip: my main concern is that installing a lamp on my e2 server will expose my server to possible sec flaws [06:38] yeah, wordpress has flaws sometimes [06:38] HerroWorlds: yes, it will. But installing anything on anything connected to the net exposes security flaws. [06:38] currently my server runs 2 different servers for client server apps off port 81/82 [06:38] = [06:39] HerroWorlds: so start up another one and compartmentalise. You can secure it as best you can, but it's an endless battle really. [06:39] =O, somsip i am scareded of the intermet! [06:40] HerroWorlds: all in seriouesnesslessness, it's an appropriate feeling nowadays. Hosting sites is not the easy game it once was. But if it's a simple site with no user data stored, you'll make for a boring target. [06:40] err that will cost money lol, i can only run 1 e2 instance for free [06:40] HerroWorlds: t1.micro is about $14 per month. But your call - I offered a solution [06:40] and i mean im not in any of it for profit, i just want to help spread information about my failed attempts at programing! [06:41] somsip, i think i will try and get it running all nicly on my current free instance then one it is configured and running cleaning, if i acutally start getting traffic, i will port it over to a new one [06:41] ty for the info :P [06:42] HerroWorlds: sounds a fair approach. Look at Fail2Ban would be my hint for free [06:42] a different question, is there any danger in leaving port 22 open for my e2 instance? [06:42] my access ip changes a lot so it is a pain to have to reenable my ip [06:43] HerroWorlds: if you have root login available with passwords, then there will be danger. Use no root login and keys only and it's safe. Use F2B to catch persistent port probers and cross your fingers [06:43] HerroWorlds: I used to use security by obfuscation on port 22 but gave in and now just take the hits. [06:43] somsip, by default i think the only way to access the ssh is through a key but it is root access [06:44] HerroWorlds: default shold be PermitRootLogin NO!!!! and no password login [06:44] it would be nice if i could just ban all ip adresses except for the ones from my country [06:44] !ufw | HerroWorlds [06:44] HerroWorlds: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [06:44] or even just from my city lol [06:45] ubottu: cool i'l check it out and i think i used it way back when when i had my server hosted in my own house but right now i am using the amazon firewall which seems fairly effective and user friendly :P [06:45] HerroWorlds: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:45] lolololol [06:46] HerroWorlds: yes, you could use Security Groups and only allow your ISPs CIDR to connect on 22 [06:46] HerroWorlds: but it's a pain if you get the CIDR wrong, or if it changes...though that's less likely [06:47] somsip: if i set PermitRootLogin to no, am i still able to gain root access through ssh? [06:47] HerroWorlds: no, you login as ubutnu (usually, depending on your AMI) then sudo for root [06:48] *ubuntu [06:48] ahhhh i see [06:48] why cant people just be nice and not try to hack me! [06:48] just use my websites and client server apps how they are ment to be use!!! [06:48] used* [06:49] HerroWorlds: you're not really cut out for server admin perhaps... [06:49] although using a username that is not in their dictionary when they attack is nice [06:49] lololol, not until i become a l33t hackzor [06:49] so the default ubuntu username is no good lol? [06:50] those were both joking questions but in all seriousness, if i change my account [06:50] most seem to be random just people names so if you chooose something nonstandard as username and set ssh keys with fail2ban I don't think they will even get the right username [06:50] HerroWorlds: it makes no difference with key-only login. Disable WP admin login and don't use the same main user as any author that appears on articles. But this is off-topic general hardening advice. If you want to be careful, ot really never ends. Until you get a job at Sony, then you can forget it all. [06:50] will my init daemons still work and also will i need to create a new key? [06:50] might make it a little harder but ssh keys [06:50] is more important [06:51] because 4k for the key is much longer than your username [06:51] @ somsip lolololol OH GOD WHAT IF KIM JONG IL TRYIES TO HACKZOR ME!!!!!! [06:52] @ianorlin okay i am in the process of reading about fail2 ban right now [06:54] HerroWorlds: WP and F2B http://blog.somsip.com/2012/02/using-fail2ban-to-protect-wordpress/ [06:55] ieeyyy [06:56] ty but wow, nothing is easy anymore, went from working through my new cpp book to 20 hours of trying to set up a secure option to post my progress in a nice blog about my book in a secure manor [06:57] oops said secure twice, ignore last 4 words of that [06:57] HerroWorlds: Down the rabbit hole... [06:58] * ianorlin though nothing is easy is a jethro tull song [06:59] at least amazon has a really nice free option for people to play with servers :-D [06:59] saves me 40 bucks a month in power [07:00] hi [07:02] heloa [07:06] good morning [07:11] True story, I play a lot of games on 14.04 and the open source driver doesn't perform all that well. Long story short, I switched between open source and closed and their wasn't much difference. I don't know what happened along the process of going back and forth but, my desktop is acting weird. Weird in a sense of graphical glitches when double clicking windows and they disappear for a brief moment until I do some random cli [07:11] cking. It's become to the point where its pretty annoying. I tried to revert the drivers to default but, seems like the system has borked over. [07:12] samthewildone: what grafix card and driver loaded plz? [07:13] lotuspsychje, HD7700 & the drivers from the system software application. [07:13] samthewildone: lshw -C video [07:14] http://pastebin.com/BkkQ8vg3 [07:14] tnx lemme see [07:15] np [07:15] lotuspsychje, the struggles are real :| [07:15] samthewildone: so this driver=fglrx_pci was the one ubuntu default choose? [07:15] nope this is the prop [07:15] @somsip isnt sonys main issue that they have so many employees that require root access to their server? [07:16] samthewildone: did you install 14.04 with cable on/updates on? [07:16] lotuspsychje, "fglrx (proprietary)" [07:16] HerroWorlds: that's way offtopic here. I know I got a bit offtopic earlier, but best to keep on support only here [07:16] lotuspsychje, not sure what you mean can you elab ? [07:16] Hello.. is there any way to have the unity launcher an top panel even in fullscreen vidoe playing/or applications? [07:16] awww lol okay [07:16] thats to bad [07:17] i just want to learn lol [07:17] samthewildone: the first time you installed ubuntu, did you have internet access and updates enabled at setup? [07:17] lotuspsychje, yes [07:17] lotuspsychje, also the default driver was the first option [07:17] samthewildone: clean install or upgrade from other version? [07:18] lotuspsychje, so if you mean, what was the first driver selected by default it was the the open source option. [07:18] lotuspsychje, clean like bleach [07:18] okay [07:18] lotuspsychje, this is about a 2 month old install [07:18] 1 or 2 [07:18] samthewildone: normally the driver ubuntu chooses is best to use (not always) [07:18] samthewildone: so that driver didnt workout well for you? [07:19] lotuspsychje, believe it or not, both are pretty bad. [07:19] hmm [07:19] lotuspsychje, the default driver has some glitches in games but, the prop has glitches in game to. [07:19] samthewildone: there are pages howto tweak steam performance on your ubuntu [07:19] lotuspsychje, here's the funny thing man [07:19] lotuspsychje, when I'm not gaming and working I sometime get window glitches [07:20] lotuspsychje, this is my main gripe, as I can live with the in game glitches. When it comes to doing my work... not so much. [07:20] samthewildone: glitches in desktop are not normal indeed.. [07:20] samthewildone: maybe dig into your syslog and dmesg for errors about grafix [07:20] lotuspsychje, let me give u a screenshot of the common glitch which I'm able to replicate. [07:21] samthewildone: what i would do, is again install 14.04.1 fresh, internet/updates on and tweak your system for gaming performance === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:22] samthewildone: check this out mate: http://www.howtogeek.com/132549/6-tips-for-improving-game-performance-with-steam-on-linux/ [07:22] samthewildone: also install preload, tweak your swappiness, bleachbit your system [07:23] lotuspsychje, http://goo.gl/ZDL1Ft [07:23] lotuspsychje, i'll give you 5secs to see the glitch [07:23] samthewildone: :p [07:24] hi [07:24] lotuspsychje, you see it [07:24] samthewildone: i remember havind issues on ati cards with xorg-server, kernel update fixxed this [07:24] amar, sup === amar is now known as Guest85948 [07:24] samthewildone: what icon is that [07:24] xangua, numix circle [07:25] xangua, https://numixproject.org/ [07:25] nice icons indeed [07:25] thx [07:26] pretty bland desktop atm...mostly working [07:26] samthewildone: wanna try all tricks? [07:26] samthewildone, have you by any chance played with ccsm recently [07:26] kostkon, not that I remembered [07:26] samthewildone, ok [07:26] I'm coming from the gnome ubuntu 14.04 [07:27] which was a glitch haven [07:27] samthewildone: did you upgrade to ubuntu desktop from gnome? [07:27] lotuspsychje, no [07:27] kk [07:27] lotuspsychje, I never upgrade [07:27] good [07:27] samthewildone, was it a clean unity install or not? [07:27] lotuspsychje, almost 90% of my work is in the cloud [07:27] kostkon, clean like bleach [07:27] samthewildone, ok ok :P [07:27] samthewildone: system up to date also? [07:27] 14.04.1? [07:28] lotuspsychje, yes [07:28] lotuspsychje, I might just do a clean install again. [07:28] samthewildone: yes, i reccomend [07:28] given this is an ssd [07:29] oh lol wich one [07:29] it takes literally like 5 minutes. [07:29] my main drive [07:29] ssd brand? [07:29] samthewildone, you could always try resetting unity/compiz [07:29] seaget [07:29] or something like that [07:29] seagate [07:29] kostkon, Im open to new ideas, how do I do that ? [07:29] kostkon, I get some error screaming about compiz all the time to.

[07:31] i think its the marshmallows [07:34] Hi [07:34] Is that normal that resolvconf is not installed directly on my ubuntu 14.04 server? [07:35] !info resolvconf [07:35] resolvconf (source: resolvconf): name server information handler. In component main, is important. Version 1.69ubuntu4 (utopic), package size 56 kB, installed size 254 kB [07:35] magnetik: installed directly ? [07:35] it's not installed out of the box? [07:35] I had to install it [07:35] ahh yes [07:36] resolvconf is basically the dynamic config for dnsmasq I believe [07:36] without it, it goes back to the legacy use of /etc/resolv/.conf [07:36] resolv.conf [07:37] Yep, but it was not in the "default" ubuntu install ? [07:37] no, because dnynamic DNS and use of dnsmasq is not really the norm on servers [07:37] dynamic resolvers I mean [07:37] ho okay, thanks === waxhead is now known as wackshead [07:47] any one? [07:47] anyone what ? [07:48] I have updated mysql. And now I can't install mysql-workbench with apt-get command. they said that it's a bug. and they also said that I should download mysql-workbench from the official website: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/. but there is no version for ubuntu 14 32bit. is there anyway to install 64-bit on a 32-bit OS? Where can I find a 32-bit mysql-workbench package? [07:48] is there any way to have the unity launcher and top panel even in fullscreen video playing/or applications? [07:48] ikonia [07:48] dexter_: I don't think so, otherwise it's not full screen [07:48] adam_dddd: whos is "they" [07:49] adam_dddd: where did you install mysql from ? [07:49] Hello Everyone. I'm Installing 14.10 and my UEFI is acting weirdly! I follow the guides, reboot in the new system and everyting is ok, at the second reboot (every time the second one) the laptop dosen't boot with the "no boot media" error! I do boot repair, reboot and it works... second reboot: Boom. Have you any clue that can help me please? (I ha [07:49] ve the boot repair reports) [07:50] iknoia: they means: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-workbench/+bug/1287424 . with sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 [07:50] Launchpad bug 1287424 in mysql-workbench (Ubuntu) "Cannot install mysql-workbench with mysql-server 5.6" [High,Confirmed] === swordsmanz is now known as hugbot [07:51] adam_dddd: what version of ubuntu are you using ? [07:51] !info mysql-server-5.6 trusty [07:51] mysql-server-5.6 (source: mysql-5.6): MySQL database server binaries and system database setup. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.6.19-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 (trusty), package size 5331 kB, installed size 48118 kB [07:51] it's 14.04. [07:52] adam_dddd: ok, so the problem is that you are using a package from universe, to install a later version of mysql-server, but the mysql workbench package is linked (depends) upon the mysql-5-5 client version from the main repo [07:54] ikonia: So, what is the solution? [07:54] adam_dddd: I guess the first question for me is, why are you using mysql-server-5-6 instead of the 5-5 install from the default repos [07:55] because It has a problem. [07:55] I need to run just after boot but "conventional" means arn't working . Options please ? [07:55] adam_dddd: what problem [07:56] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4489548/why-there-can-be-only-one-timestamp-column-with-current-timestamp-in-default-cla [07:56] How to check if upstart script is without syntax errors?

[07:57] adam_dddd: ok, so if you have a requirement for 5-6 which if you need two timestamp columns it looks like you do, [07:58] adam_dddd: the answer would be wait for ubuntu to fix the dependency problem with the package (you can help by chasing/helping the team) or using an unsupported place to get a version that does not have the dependency on the 5-5 client [08:00] adam_dddd: if you read that stackoverflow problem in detail you'll see there are ways to use 2 timestamps in mysql 5-5 too [08:00] you have to read down beyond the first 3 lines though [08:02] ikonia: I prefer to use the 5.5 one. Great support. Thank you. :) [08:12] Hey and hello [08:12] hi [08:12] helnlo [08:12] hello [08:13] sup?

Thanks again. Total newbie. Spent at least 2 hours searching for answers online until you helped. [09:26] By a chance have any knowledge on disk management software like gparted? [09:27] i went through the gparted website and some of the stuff seems outdated or reference to wikipedia articles? [09:27] Gr4cchus: why don't you just ask your question [09:27] rather than asking people to guess if they know enough to help you [09:28] i dont really have a question. I orginally went to the website for documentation on how to use the command line cause when i was messing with kvm and tried using gparted gui it seems like it wasnt working well [09:28] Gr4cchus: so what are you asking then ? [09:28] then i stumbled on an article on gparted about sectors, cylinders, head and stuff about how ide's work and thought that would be cool to read about how all that stuff worked but it was just so dated. [09:29] so what ar eyou asking ? [09:33] hmm. are there any forums or irc channels for people kinda just learning? it seems like theres only this but its in the format of ask a question and get and answer and thats it. [09:33] it would be awsome if there was something like the website meetup but for a virtual type format. [09:33] hmmmm, last time i checked, hard drives still use tracks, sectors, clusters, heads and cylinders. like 30 seconds ago lol === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [09:34] Gr4cchus: I'm still waiting to hear what you actually want ? [09:34] as in what is the information you are missing [09:34] lol yeah your right, im not sure what the article was getting at cause it was a little confusing what they were getting at.

This computer doesn't have bluetooth. What should my next steps [12:30] be? [12:30] because everyone knows about root, if nobody can log in as root then its more secure [12:31] also, with using sudo everything gets logged properly and you can see what has been done [12:31] Ben64: security by obscurity is not a valid answer, try again [12:31] sudo passwd root [12:31] do: please do not suggest that [12:31] Ben64: please stop being annoying when people are trying to help others === Mish|sleep is now known as Mish|Fruehstueck [12:31] anyway, to clarify, i have no access at all, i need to get a root shell with no existing access [12:32] catphish_: what is the actual issue you're experiencing, and the sudo/root stuff is channel policies, if you have a problem with that, take it up in #ubuntu-ops [12:32] !recovery | catphish_ [12:32] catphish_, What do you mean you have no access?

[16:14] EmsY: Great ... Next is to enlarge that boot partition, ( or just pay close attention when a new kernel is to be installed !) ..

You may look at the httpd docs about that directive [16:18] blackangelpr: i just was looking at the xda instructions [16:18] ah.. let me get back on a real laptp .. i just wanted to make sure android still worked on this thing [16:18] sergey_, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#options [16:18] http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu/Ubuntu_Install [16:18] those are the instructions i was looking at [16:19] jrg, this is from 2014 tell you what works and what does not http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ [16:20] suspend doesn't work? [16:20] i see a black graphic screen during boot [16:20] that says T100 tho. not sure which model that is [16:20] if i use nomodeset parameter, it is black text screen then the ubuntu progress bar comes up in the text mode [16:21] i'll stick to the xda instructions for the tf101 ;) [16:21] good luck [16:21] Power management works though there are some issues with the screen auto-turn off. If you leave the Transformer alone for a while it will put itself in low-power mode. [16:21] hjdfdu: " A black scrren" is often a graphics driver issue. Try and boot with the "nomoeset" boot option and advise of results. THEN we may look at installing a graphics driver .

[16:27] I can't give any feedback, I'm now trying to configure 14 [16:27] 14.04 for my parents [16:28] what do you mean with some issues? [16:28] as they need a stable OS [16:28] is there any problems with the new version? [16:28] c-moi:? [16:29] Hisham, if you are using the OS for a basic operating system for a laptop, either version will work just fine for you [16:29] Hisham, 14.10 is a LTS, meaning it will be supported for a long time. 14.10 will need upgrades from time to time, and a major upgrade when 15.04 will be out [16:29] Hisham, I just installed the new version and I haven't seen any problems [16:29] Hisham: 14.04 is the extra stable version, use that unless you really want the latest of everything and don't mind upgrading/reinstalling every 6 months [16:29] Just wondering about crontab -e. What happens if you schedule a backup of /home and you just happen to be working in the /home folder while it is going on? [16:30] goatkid, I think you asked the question previously. It depends on the way you back up data [16:30] hi [16:31] thanks all [16:31] c-moi: just wondering. no answer yet. anybody know? Or is crontab just a midnight while sleeping thing.

I want to tar my /home at a certain time in the background [16:33] Zeedox, can you scan its ports with nmap ? [16:34] Zeedox: Is an SSH server running on the machine in the first place? [16:35] theadmin: I hope to. Installed openssh-server and did sudo restart ssh as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring [16:35] goatkid: why not run the backup when you switch off the pc? That way you can be sure /home is not in use [16:35] Zeedox, have you checked if there is a firewall on your machine? [16:35] Zeedox: Yes, okay, uhm. Try to "ssh $USER@localhost" on that machine to verify [16:35] dhooligan: A firewall? Is there any installed by default? [16:35] goatkid, if you're using LVM, you can create a full snapshot of /home. If not, the tar will be quite long and any file changed since the beginning of the tar command will not be backuped for sure [16:36] Zeedox: There's no firewall enabled in Ubuntu by default, though there is one installed. [16:36] hola? [16:36] Zeedox, by default sshd is not installed or configure [16:36] estas ahi jose?

Thats sounds like a lot of file descriptors to open [16:37] is rsync installed on both side ? [16:37] trijntje, it doesn't touch every file as far as I know [16:37] c-moi: Sure. [16:37] I have a system με asrock h67m-itx/ht, i5 and xubuntu 14.04 64 bit and I transfered the drive to an asus b85m-g motherboard . I try to make the system start the grub. When the system boots it goes to uefi setup The drive has 2 partition one /boot and an encrypted / http://paste.ubuntu.com/9604651/ Any ideas ? [16:38] I meant tar gets a file, puts it on the tarball, and moves on [16:38] exit [16:38] if the file is changed after, well tar doesn't care, as far as I know [16:38] What's wierd is that I see the machine through "avahi-browse -a", but can't ping the other computer. [16:38] ha, sorry, too many terms [16:38] (Other meaning the old comp) [16:39] Zeedox, are they both running linux? === soee_ is now known as soee [16:39] dhooligan: Yes, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 14.10 [16:40] Zeedox, you can use the command sudo iptables -L -nv to see if you have any firewall rules, but I doubt that's your problem [16:40] c-moi: yes, but that can lead to an inconsistsent backup when home is in use, which is what I guess goatkid is worried about [16:40] can anyone tell me how i might change the colour of my nick name please [16:40] trijntje, and I confirmed its worries [16:40] that's why I recommend lvm [16:40] or any other file system snapshot [16:41] dhooligan: Nope, everything checks out. [16:41] Zeedox, the other computer is on Ubuntu ? [16:41] Maybe I'll try turning everything on and off... [16:42] if not, check firewalld [16:42] oh well [16:42] c-moi: Both are running Ubuntu 14, yes. [16:42] (had the issue on RHEL) [16:42] ok [16:42] Zeedox, are you sure that your ssh is open and listening? You can use sudo netstat -plantu to check what port ssh is listening on [16:42] Both Asus as well :P [16:42] Another question. Is sda always sda? If I plug in another disk and boot according to my usual boot order will sda still be the active disk? I can't quite figure out definitely which is the active disk, sda or sdb. [16:42] goatkid, you can search for the UID instead [16:43] How? [16:43] dhooligan: http://vpaste.net/ehxQn [16:43] (old comp) [16:43] can't realy remember ^^" [16:43] but there is an UID system, instead of the sdX way [16:43] !uuid [16:43] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [16:43] Hello, I have 2 .sh files here who allready made into executables (the permission allow is checked). but still nothing happens? what could it be? [16:44] its in /dev/disk-by-uuid if I'm not mistaken [16:44] Heh, -plantu is a funny flag chain. [16:44] Thanks. Big help. Check it out. [16:44] Zeedox, yeah I know, that's the only way I remember it [16:44] that's it :) [16:44] :O [16:44] Zeedox, everything looks good. Its a bit disconcerning that you can't ping the machine [16:45] It started working! [16:45] I just restarted the new computer... [16:45] hi [16:45] Frakking magical tech. [16:46] Maybe it's because I changed my /etc/hostname without rebooting? [16:47] restart terminal [16:47] Zeedox: Yeah... [16:47] That would be it. [16:48] Zeedox: After changing the hostname, you need to restart or just restart the "hostname" service. [16:49] Oh, it's a service? [16:49] Thought it was just a file. [16:50] Thanks c-moi, theadmin, dhooligan for the troubleshooting. [16:50] theadmin: there's no hostname service as far as i know [16:50] is there> [16:50] ? [16:51] service hostname restart says no found service [16:51] welcome [16:51] Now I just have to get rsync working :/ [16:51] hehe, -avz is a good start [16:51] Zeedox: you can also type "hostname " after changing it in the files [16:51] EriC^^: Hm, I might be wrong then.

[18:17] I'm not finding anything in the docs to clarify, but with upstart I can just point symlinks from the rc.d dirs to init instead of init.d, right? [18:18] hello, I'm trying to understand the difference between apt database and dpkg database. What does 'available' means in terms of dpkg database (/var/lib/dpkg/available)? [18:20] No one seems to be on in #ubuntu-server so I'm going to ask here: I'm having trouble actually modifying my server from my phone, and my Dad had a similar problem on his computer. I'm getting an error 550 when I try to add a new folder. What should I do? [18:20] How does the system label drives? Does a certain disk get a persistent label, or does it depend on whether the drives are active or not? [18:21] goatkid: the label is on the disk itself [18:22] So the label is persistent. Sdb will always be sdb unless I repartition and rename? [18:22] those aren't labels [18:22] I think "SBD" is it's physical connection to the computer. [18:22] What does that mean? [18:23] It will change when it is plugged in to another port, but will not change otherwise. [18:23] crazyhead42: if you add another usb or something it might change [18:23] crazyhead42: i don't think it's related to a physical port, just whatever the kernel picks up first [18:23] i'm not sure [18:24] So a SATA drive sdb when plugged into a different SATA port can change to something else say sda? [18:24] i guess the kernel would go over certain ports in a specific order and which ports are used then you could have the same disk as sdb or sdc depending or whether a previous port had something on it [18:24] ( just guessing here ) [18:25] what apt availability is I understand, but what it means in terms of of dpkg for a package to be available - i do not. [18:25] I wouldn't think so, they are physically labled in my computer, and it called SDB SDB even when I removed SDA from my computer. I guess if it needs feedback or something from hardware in the port itself, that could do it. [18:25] goatkid: if you plug the same disk to another port it wont change the sda or sdb, but if you add a disk to another port it could change i guess [18:26] goatkid: Think like so, a device name (sda) is a variable, while the UUID is a constant . [18:26] This is very confusing, when you have multiple disks and you have to know which is active. I have been trying to figure it out all morning. [18:26] crazyhead42: if you reboot with sda removed, it's still sdb ? [18:27] Yes, but I have to go into the Bios first, or it throws a fit. [18:28] Of course, it could just be my computer, it's relatively old. [18:28] I guess I'll try that. /dev/disk-by-uuid or any of the disk-by's don't tell you much. But it sure is clumsy to pull the plug on disks every time you want to know for sure [18:29] goatkid: what do you mean by which is active? [18:29] goatkid: you have a disk and you want to know what its designation is? [18:29] The one that is running the program I am on right now. [18:29] goatkid: sudo parted -l [18:30] goatkid: you can use lsof to see open files [18:31] goatkid: ^^ and if you have labeled the partitions on the devices, -> sudo blkid <- . [18:31] so can anyone explain me what it means for a package to be available in terms of dpkg? [18:31] I've tried removing Network Manager and using WICD, but still can't open t.co links [18:32] kristijonas: i think that it means all available packages in the cache [18:32] I've also tried changing the DNS address in ubuntu and on my router [18:32] kristijonas: nevermind [18:33] I also have a hard time getting facebook to load properly [18:33] EriC^^, but apt is responsible for availability, not dpkg. [18:35] are there any networking gurus in here who can help me with this issue? [18:35] question17 facebook and twitter... are you in a country where social media are restricted? [18:35] MonkeyDust, no, in the USA [18:35] twitter loads fine, it is opening links within twitter that are giving me issues [18:37] it is as if something at the system level is not able to query the links.

[19:02] interesting is i can see the remote printers if i do 'lpinfo -v' [19:02] hjdfdu: hmm [19:03] i know the newer ubuntus have cups-browsed package...but that is not there in ubuntu 12.04LTS [19:03] Caleb--: good to hear :) [19:03] hjdfdu: which ubuntu are you using?

[19:20] Ross9223: do you have the "theme" you want to install downloaded ? [19:21] yes [19:21] but i dont know where to put it [19:22] i tried putting it in /home/username/.icons but that didnt work [19:22] Do you have any sugestions on how to install libavutil51 on ubuntu 14.04 [19:22] ?

No telling what dependency issues you will run into installing precise version on trusty . [19:27] merpnderp: systemctl status mysqld.service [19:27] merpnderp: sudo service mysql start [19:27] Chuck_Norris: systemctl isnt' found :( [19:27] Jordan_U: mysql isn't found either [19:27] Chuck_Norris: Ubuntu hasn't switched to systemd yet, so systemctl won't work. [19:28] Jordan_U: I get "unknown job" [19:28] I know I disabled it somehow, but have no idea what I did. [19:28] merpnderp: oh! i forget that i installed systemd a couple o weeks ago [19:28] merpnderp: Please pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy mysql-server".

[19:33] memand: As you now know, get the system stable and the package manager in a hppay state, prior to compounding the problem . [19:33] Chuck_Norris: Veejy is the thing that looks most promissing so far when it comes to doing VJ stuff on Linux... And I really don't want o run Ballmer OS on my machines [19:33] merpnderp: Did you --purge? [19:33] Jordan_U: no, I"l try that [19:34] merpnderp: Also, the package you need to re-install is the one for the specific version of mysql you have installed, not the "mysql-server" metapackage. [19:34] Maybe I'll just back up my /home and downgrade to 12.04 [19:34] Jordan_U: crap. WOuldn't doing the meta-package do everything included in it? [19:34] merpnderp: Nope. [19:35] nope didnt work [19:35] i swear unity tweak is about useless.. half the stuff in there doesnt work anyway [19:35] Bashing-om: I'm not sure what you mean with "componding the problem"?

[19:36] spectromas: Yes [19:36] ok thanks memand [19:37] memand: Well, you say you already have delendency issues, inslling a precise lib on the trusty frame is asking for more problems .

I have it installed as 64bit. I just did a 'grub-install /dev/mmcblk0p1' <== my ESP and it complains of not being able to fine /boot/grub/i386. [20:09] daftykins: thanks [20:09] would I need 64bit Grub? [20:10] Thanks all, I have a lot to go through now, looking for my answer [20:10] bbb gsfxwtttttaz/quit [20:11] the tablet can only be booted with 32bit UEFI [20:11] which irc client would you recommend for ubuntu? [20:11] ArTrix, hexchat is the replacement to xchat [20:12] brainwash: thanks for the link [20:12] im just new to this ubuntu thing, just came from windows and didnt know which one i should choose [20:12] ArTrix: xchat has a pretty gui [20:13] thanks, ill try it :) [20:13] ArTrix: ok :) [20:19] xchat is no longer developed... you may want to use hexchat instead. [20:19] ArTrix, EriC^^ ^^ [20:19] Pici: i got an update a couple months ago [20:21] was it to say "use hexchat"? :D [20:21] lool [20:21] i'm loyal what can i say :P [20:22] i'm sticking to it, i didn't like hexchat , i never tried it on ubuntu though [20:23] well, checked and seems like there is no use with the terminal?! 0o === aktx__ is now known as aktx [20:23] use with terminal? [20:23] ArTrix: it's gui based [20:24] ArTrix: so you want a CLI client? [20:24] xchat & hexchat [20:25] EriC^^: ye, i saw that, but id prefer a terminal based client :) [20:26] ArTrix, irssi [20:26] I need to install a 2nd drive for data in ubuntu 14.04. WHat is the best format to use? I will be sharing this data with windows across my network [20:27] EiEiOhh: depends on drive size, file size... content type... SAMBA sharing media to Kodi/XBMC, EXT4 would be fine. [20:28] Hi guys, need help please. When I calibrate my screen using xinput_calibrator a part of the calibrator gets cut off the screen. xinput_calbrator --verbose says it's getting calibration values max_x=1981 and max_y=1981 but my my current resolution is 800x600. [20:29] 1tb and larger [20:29] hello #ubuntu [20:29] EiEiOhh: i used XFS for a 12TB RAID6 but i don't think you'll have any justifications for that. EXT4 would be fine [20:30] I have a dumb question, I have an interface called docker0, I am curious how to set dns for just the interface? [20:30] daftykins, EXT$ it is then.. Thanks [20:30] np [20:31] iputils [20:31] checking [20:32] command not found [20:33] Is there a name for the function that transmits sound to a TV when you're dual monitoring a tv with a laptop? [20:33] via the HDMI cord [20:33] on windows it would send the sound to the tv when we played media but on ubuntu it's on the itty bitty laptop speakers [20:34] monst: how is docker0 configured? It may be a docker specific configuration. Most likely a brige..... I would check if there is a way to do it with the docker configs. [20:34] pantato: you just change the output device, simple [20:34] no one? [20:34] >_> [20:35] monst: this is probably related to what you need. https://docs.docker.com/articles/networking/ [20:36] phunyguy: well docker_opt can set DNS properly [20:36] I am trying to do it without a reboot [20:36] omg thanks holy derp [20:37] I used ip to change the range on the docker0 interface, just need to figure out how to manually set DNS without reboot [20:37] monst: a reboot of the server or containers? Unfortunately I don't know much about docker. But if it is a bridge, does it have an IP or is it just strictly to bridge containers to a physical interface? [20:37] Server [20:38] contianer have their own IPs [20:38] so that is my question.... DNS isn't really assigned to an interface... just to a machine. [20:38] so you need to configure what docker hands out to containers? [20:38] shiggitay: No real idea, But I run 64 bit and : ls -al /boot/grub >> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Oct 14 16:18 i386-pc [20:39] @phunyguy yeah exactly [20:39] Okay so you use 32bit Grub? @ Bashing-om [20:39] monst: (no need for @, this isn't twitter ;) ) you should just be able to restart a docker service, not reboot... no? [20:39] unfortunately cant figure out how to do that without rebooting the system for docker_opts to take hold [20:40] shiggitay somebody had trouble installing that to his pc, it was a hybrid, he ended up finding a guide online about a custom .efi he had to use [20:40] didnt work for the interface, I actually havent tested for DNS, let me test that now [20:40] shiggitay: Yepper, that directory holds the .mod files that the system needs to boot . [20:40] EriC^^, I can get the installer to boot just fine [20:40] monst: if that doesn't work then I would have to know more about how docker configures that stuff..... which I don't. [20:41] :( [20:41] sorry, bud. [20:41] EriC^^, do you have a link to such? [20:41] shiggitay: not the installer, after installation it wouldn't install, it needed a custom .efi file [20:41] kk np appreciate the help [20:41] shiggitay: i can check my pm's hold on [20:41] Thanks! :) [20:41] monst: does it have its own networking service by any chance? [20:41] I think if you get networking restarted it might do it. Does it put anything in /etc/network/interfaces ? [20:41] I think it does [20:42] when I try to delete files in a mounted partition (at /data) I keep getting an error message in Nautilus: "can't be put in the trash. do you want to delete it immediately?". any idea why? [20:42] try restarting that. [20:42] shiggitay: http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ [20:43] EriC^^, I did that to make my custom bootia32.efi to get the installer booting. Could I use that same one to boot the system as well should I place it in the right directory? [20:43] yeah seem to be a docker service issue [20:44] ok. [20:44] shiggitay: i think you're supposed to do that after you install, so it boots [20:44] ok but where does it go? [20:45] shiggitay: usually it's in the efi partition in EFI/ubuntu/.. [20:45] let me see the guide [20:45] ok [20:46] shiggitay: ok apparently you need to have internet access to install something from git [20:46] shiggitay: and that will install the proper efi files [20:46] ggggggggreat... [20:47] :D [20:47] daftykins, Sorry.. to be clear. I with EXT4 is shareable with Windows.. right? [20:48] shiggitay: the guide says how to get the wifi working [20:48] EiEiOhh: Windows can't read ext4. [20:48] EiEiOhh: Without a third-party driver, anyway [20:48] hello everybody, I'm installing on my pc the last version of ubuntu (luckily I have a great old mbr bios, without EFI or other complication) [20:48] EiEiOhh: the file system doesn't matter, samba is the sharing layer here. [20:48] EriC^^, I do have my tablet's WiFi drivers....... [20:48] shiggitay: is there net access? [20:48] Ah, samba... Sure, with samba the FS matters not [20:49] EriC^^... see if I take out my USB stick it complains of I/O errors [20:49] before I had 12.04 and I remember in ubiquity i was able to set the "boot loader location", the partition in which i want to put the master boot record [20:49] would chrooting work? [20:49] I have another boot USB loaded up, and I can cache that to RAM... [20:49] daftykins, ok.. thanks [20:49] lore20: ok... [20:49] and then use a USB ethernet [20:50] dongle thing [20:50] now, installing 14.10, I don't see this settings at all; since in my pc I set up a complicated triple boot I really need to control where the installer will put the mbr [20:50] shiggitay: ok, apparently the guide says to use grub from the live usb, to boot the ubuntu installation you have installedd [20:50] lore20, "install something else" ... don't use ubuntu's auto-install options. [20:51] shiggitay: you could try to boot the live usb remove the usb and chroot, why not i guess [20:51] daftykins, so.. wouldnt NTFS work? [20:51] hi [20:51] lore20: should be on the lower part of the partitioning screen [20:52] EiEiOhh: if you're sharing over the network to a windows system, why would you use NTFS *inside* the Linux system? [20:52] squinty: i took a screenshot http://ge.tt/3EnYfM72/v/0 [20:53] cfhowlett: from the standard desktop cd am I able to start other installation options? Like a command-line installer? Or i need the Alternate CD? [20:53] lore20: nothing displayed at the url. (at least here anyways) [20:53] lore20: so you're staring at the option right there, the dropdown list /dev/sda [20:54] lore20: also Windows XP? ugh. let it die! [20:54] lore20, alternate CD is dead. standard Desktop CD has "install something else" option [20:54] daftykins: you're right, I think I'm getting blind! [20:54] xp? According to MS it IS dead! the one's you see are zombies [20:55] lore20: yay mystery solved \o/ [20:55] daftykins: unfortunately I have some ISDN old devices with driver only for windows xp [20:55] I have another (NTFS) drive that has data on it that I wanted to bring in too [20:55] i'll try to get them working on linux, if i manage to, then XP will die!

Now-a-days there is an added bind to make networking available . [21:15] I have a partition at /data. I moved my home directory /home/caleb to /data/home/ubuntu/caleb. I did a mount --bind of /data/home/ubuntu to /home.

If I have a Windows 7 .iso file, do I need to create a bootable USB stick and use gparted to install Windows on a separate partition? Or can I just use the .iso file?

[21:24] ok, finally found : in the general options of compiz, the last tab (was hidden in my window size...) I set the horizontal size to 4.

So here is my question: How to turn off bluetooth by default? [21:37] Fehlix: system settings > hardware > bluetooth [21:38] squinty: already did that, but it seems that it turns on again after pushing the hardwarebutton twice [21:38] I just want Wifi to connect, bluetooth should be disabled by default [21:40] Fehlix: probably isn't possible [21:40] Fehlix: don't use the hardware button then. if that is not a solution at this time I haven't any alternative solution for you [21:42] Ben64: Sad. ;( squinty: Well, thanks. im used to push the hardwarebutton, thats why itd be a lot easier to use, but if ive no choice ill use the softwarepossibilitys :( [21:43] Fehlix: or just leave bt on? i dont see the problem [21:43] Fehlix: see how to turn bluetooth off from the console [21:44] Fehlix: add that to line to whatever happens when you turn the button on [21:44] Ben64: idk why, but ive a heavy battery drain with bt on [21:45] Fehlix: unlikely to be bt [21:45] Hi again. I still have at least an issue with xfce / compiz on ubunut 14.04 : my two panels are gone. When I log in, I see le top panel which disapears right away. A right click on the desktop doesn't gives a menu anymore, but I can have one with ctrl+ESC [21:46] you might just want to try deleting everything in ~/.config/xfce4 [21:46] c-moi, Why did you choose to use compiz in xfce, seems strange as it is a lighter desktop. [21:46] ok, i'll try that, I may have to set everything manually after I guess [21:47] you can also just move it somewhere in case you want the config back [21:47] bubbasaures, as I said before, I need a magnyfier glass to zoom in on an area [21:47] Ben64: with bt on > 10% more battery use per hour [21:47] ewzimm, i intended to execute an mv, indeed [21:47] c-moi, Ah, I did not read up, hope you get it working. ;) [21:47] dk how its possible, but it is how it is :/ [21:47] thanks, it's been a few full days [21:47] Fehlix: not possible [21:49] ok I'll log in/out again [21:49] i was under this impression xfce can't have compositing (a lá compiz), am i totally wrong - fellow helpers? [21:50] no idea [21:51] back [21:51] daftykins, I don't know about can't but as it designed for lightweight work ... why? [21:52] ewzimm, thanks, at first xfce asked me if I wanted the default conf, but nothing changed. [21:52] EriC^^: Atleast worth a try, thanks for that [21:52] in the panel conf, I clicked to deleted the top panel and that's when the two panels appear [21:53] seems like xfce4-panel was really executed, idk [21:56] acerimmer_: a user was asking and yeah, adding compositing to a lighterweight DE was what was throwing me :) i thought it wasn't possible in the past === krzysztof is now known as elc [21:57] xfce + compiz seems to work since a long time [21:57] (a "long time" when you see compiz' age) [21:58] and the "alt + mouse wheel" feather in xfce requires compiz [22:02] can I find the publish date of a package date via command line? specifically android-tools-adb need a recent date for use with android 5.0.1 [22:03] cfhowlett: You should be able to find it in the changelog.

[22:05] cfhowlett: apt-get changelog packagename [22:05] cfhowlett: you can often find info at /usr/share/doc/ [22:05] trism, that's the one! thank you much! [22:06] trism: Thanks, I know that's there but don't remember the syntax. [22:06] when i log into my 14.10 machine, i can move the cursor across a background and switch to ttys but can't do anything else. help? [22:07] jhutchins: well, /usr/share/doc/packagename/changelog.Debian.gz is just as good and no downloading [22:07] trism jhutchins I was looking for info before/without downloading the package [22:09] Hi [22:09] networkmanager won't automatically connect to my wifi [22:09] the auto option is checked [22:10] denysonique: Is the driver for the interface installed and loaded? Firmware? [22:10] hi [22:10] denysonique: Can you connect manyually? [22:10] how can i see what packages are in utopic-updates to decide to update everything or just the icedtea plugin? [22:11] jazzkutya: yes [22:11] jazzkutya, apt-get -s upgrade [22:11] jhutchins: the problem is that it won't autoconnect upon login, wakeup etc [22:12] and whose bright idea was to ship utopic with broken java plugin anyway.... [22:13] jazzkutya: you really should upgrade everything, there are bugs and vulnerabilities that need to be fixed [22:14] Ben64: i'm upgrading everything but the java fix is in -proposed, not -updates [22:14] denysonique: Anything in the logs or dmesg that might explain it? [22:14] which is not for end users [22:15] jazzkutya: well you could wait a bit for it to make it to updates [22:15] jazzkutya: a)Because the bug wasn't caught before the release, and b) wait for it - it moves from proposed to updates if there aren't more bugs preventing it. === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon [22:16] jhutchins: thanks, how much time does it take usually? btw the bug was reported on 09-01, before utopic release [22:18] will go for selective upgrading then, i need java now [22:18] some would say all java is broken, given how often it has security holes. [22:19] well yeah we could say that [22:19] but i like the language and my netbank also uses java [22:20] how come you don't just use oracle official? [22:21] oh man [22:21] after a log out / log in, panels are still disapearing on xfce with compiz [22:22] daftykins: last time i had satisfying experience with openjdk-jre and icedtea so i switched from sun/oracle [22:22] but oic to answer the question, now i want to stick with the opensource one :) [22:23] given the fix is doable even if not simple and comforting [22:23] what's the plugin bug? [22:23] daftykins: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icedtea-web/+bug/1363785 [22:23] Launchpad bug 1363785 in icedtea-web (Ubuntu Utopic) "package icedtea-netx:amd64 1.5.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2" [High,Fix committed] [22:24] oh so package flaw [22:24] you should stick to LTSs if you do development work [22:24] anyway, i'm not helping [22:25] and I now have a focus problem, the mouse can't define the focus. In fact I don't have any preference access via the mouse, only xchat can have a focus. Damn [22:25] hmm.. i have iceatea plugin and openjdk installed, but qupzilla wont see it, any ideas? [22:25] test [22:25] akame, pong [22:26] i need help with this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed i made the /etc/apt/preferences file as describe but apt-get -s upgrade wants to upgrade many packages [22:26] * squinty holds nose === bob is now known as Guest15419 [22:26] i see my mistake, sorry [22:28] daftykins: yup i was thinking about the lts release but i got a pretty good mobo (intel baytrail-d fanless stuff) and was worried about hw support [22:28] not pretty good, but pretty new :) [22:29] !hwe [22:29] On August 7, 2014, Ubuntu 12.04.5 will deliver the kernel and graphics stack from 14.04. At that time, security updates and bug fixes for older hardware enablement stacks will cease. Users of older hardware enablement stacks are encouraged to update to the 12.04.5 hardware enablement stack or upgrade to 14.04. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL for further details. [22:30] hmm, maybe that factoid should be updated for 14.04 [22:30] Ben64: will trusty get a utopic HWE soon or something? [22:31] february i think [22:31] and maybe advertise it someplace more visible than in an irc bot :) [22:31] its more than just here [22:31] it is in many places, jazzkutya [22:31] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [22:31] so [22:31] however we often notice *cough* that our users don't operate search engines too well [22:31] reinstall is scheduled after xmas [22:32] i think you should just try trusty if you want to run LTS [22:32] nice live session of 14.04.1 [22:32] daftykins: can you tell me what should i have searched for? searching for ubuntu hardware support gave many outdated pages mostly [22:32] only hardware that i've seen here that doesn't work ootb on trusty is newer graphics cards, like the gtx 980 [22:33] hello [22:33] español [22:33] eynar, !ubuntu-es [22:33] !es-ubuntu [22:33] !es [22:33] 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. [22:34] thanks :) [22:35] daftykins: btw before choosing 14.10 i was on a page amongst othert that described point releases. and there was no mentioning that 14.04 would get the same hardware support as 14.10 [22:37] jazzkutya: well now you know [22:45] ok, I just rebooted, I have the exact same issue : after a log in xfce / compiz on ubunut 14.04, the panel appear for a short time and disapear. I need to kill the xfce4-panel and xfdesktop processes and launch them in order to see panels and get a menu when I click on the desktop [22:45] a newbie just can't do this (I'm configuring this computer for my parents) [22:46] c-moi, perhaps ... don't deploy compiz? [22:47] cfhowlett, I would like to [22:47] but that's not the answer [22:48] I need a magnyfier glass [22:48] check if the same happens with compiz [22:48] i mean without [22:48] EriC^^, or anyone else: [22:48] (KubuntuChroot) root@sysresccd:/home/shiggitay/grub# ./grub-install -d . --efi-directory=/boot/efi/ --target=i386 [22:48] ./grub-install: error: ./modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory. [22:49] jatt, i guess it doesn't happen without compiz, it's been a whole day since I'm trying to configure xfce and compiz together [22:49] (didn't have any tilebar, problem with viewports, ...) [22:49] shiggitay: did you cd to grub-core first? [22:50] EriC^^, I did [22:50] now what is, I think, the panel / xfdesktop issue [22:50] I think I had the same issue on my debian a year or two ago, without compiz [22:51] c-moi: It would probably be a good idea if you were to consolidate your notes on what you did and what worked and post a blog or something. [22:51] shiggitay: i dont get why you need to use that line anyways [22:51] shiggitay: ah nevermind [22:52] shiggitay: your target is off [22:52] jhutchins, I've thought about it after all I've done. I'll try, if I can remember every major change I mad [22:52] shiggitay: you have amd64 right? [22:52] so maybe --target=amd64 [22:52] c-moi: Unfortunately the GUI doesn't have a history log. [22:52] :) [22:54] I did that today, copied a chunk from history to vi, cleaned it up, annotated, voila, documentation! [22:54] EriC^^, yeah but I'm trying it with my bootia32.efi I made to make my liveUSB boot [22:54] EriC^^, though what would I put in the GRUB_CMD_LINE_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub? [22:55] shiggitay: what do you mean? [22:55] Before you boot, let’s add the default command line options to Grub. [22:55] Open /etc/default grub in a text editor: [22:55] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [22:55] And edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT exactly as we did before. When done, hit ctrl-o to save then ctrl-x to exit. Then, to update Grub: [22:55] sudo update-grub [22:55] seems like someone have a workaround http://askubuntu.com/questions/475679/xubuntu-panel-disappears-every-time-i-restart-solved [22:55] Hi, how do i stream from my bmc server, from my PC? [22:56] Azjo: You have two froms there, you need a from and a to.

[22:59] Azjo: Probably want to google something like "linux streaming video server" [22:59] anyone? >_> [23:00] i tried vlc. it stalls [23:00] and apparently has been an issue for years [23:01] im kinda shocked its this difficult to find a solution to such a simple problem [23:02] >.> <.< [23:03] shiggitay: you want the default kernel line? [23:03] yeah [23:03] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet" [23:03] that's mine [23:04] ok [23:07] hi, where .deb are downloaded? with apt-get download [23:07] i can't find a downloaded .deb file [23:08] p-trust: in the directory you ran it from [23:09] EriC^^, yeah I can't boot... >_> [23:09] though I'm going back in [23:29] hi [23:29] is ubuntu hdmi compatible ?
