[00:02] WTF it's not [00:03] squinty: ^^ [00:03] how do I change that? [00:03] @ EriC^^ [00:03] nvm I got it [00:04] ok [00:05] I think I'm close xD [00:06] arun_: maybe the following will be of some use https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Plymouth never played around with it myself === mike is now known as Guest84697 [00:06] I just wanna frickin' boot without the LiveUSB, and then I'll do some fun stuff [00:08] squinty: I fixed it myself, there was no themes so... that happened [00:09] shiggitay: did it make the .efi file? [00:09] arun_: :) [00:14] EriC^^, yeah [00:14] but it's still not liking my ESP [00:15] shiggitay: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and the contents of /proc/mounts. [00:15] shiggitay: ^^ [00:15] Jordan_U, I can't.. no networking [00:15] type df -h | grep /boot [00:16] shiggitay: Sneakernet? [00:16] EriC^^, that command shows nothing [00:16] and Jordan_U eh? [00:17] shiggitay: Can you save the output to a flash drive or other media and transfer it to a computer that does have access? [00:18] Jordan_U, I'm getting my WiFi working [00:18] hold on [00:19] shiggitay: that means /boot isn't mounted [00:19] hm [00:19] shiggitay: type sudo blkid | grep vfat [00:20] my WiFi driver is compiling [00:20] hold on [00:20] */boot/efi [00:20] I guess my WiFi/Bluetooth driver? [00:20] i mean it means /boot/efi isn't mounted [00:20] well it is.. so says 'mount' [00:21] mount | grep /boot [00:21] returns what? [00:21] nothing so I guess it isn't mounted properly === badon_ is now known as badon [00:27] shiggitay: you're in the live usb? [00:28] shiggitay: Why were you compiling grub from source earlier?

[00:32] Jordan_U: 14.10 [00:32] http://pastebin.com/z8kBqKtH [00:32] the parted -l output [00:32] EriC^^: okay I'm out of the chroot [00:33] shiggitay|Tab: Then 14.10 should have a version of grub newer than that used in that post, compiling from source shouldn't be necessary (for what it's worth now). [00:34] Jordan_U: well the installer seems to fail whenever it gets to that point [00:34] EriC^^: /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt/kubuntu/boot type vfat (rw) [00:35] shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount /mnt/kubuntu/boot [00:35] shiggitay|Tab: That is wrong, your ESP should be mounted to /boot/efi/, not to /boot/. (In this case /mnt/Kubuntu/boot/efi/) [00:35] shiggitay|Tab: efi partitions are mounted to /boot/efi [00:35] ok [00:35] that looked like an Android partition -.- [00:36] shiggitay|Tab: sudo blkid | grep /mnt [00:37] nothing [00:39] shiggitay|Tab: lol, sorry it's getting late [00:39] Hello, does anyone have experience with dovecot, spamassassin and amavis?

[00:41] No ideas? [00:41] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/QZHFujvw === Jake[1] is now known as Jake [00:42] shiggitay|Tab: that's pretty messy [00:42] shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount -l /mnt [00:42] Question if anyone has second [00:42] shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount -l /mnt/kubuntu [00:42] then mount | grep again please [00:42] shiggitay|Tab: mount | grep /mnt [00:42] Why does Ubuntu 14.04 no longer feature 'service networking restart' or '/etc/init.d/networking restart'? [00:43] EriC^^: ok [00:43] done [00:43] what now [00:43] does it return anything? mount | grep /mnt ? [00:44] EriC^^: yeah but nothing different from before it seems [00:44] shiggitay|Tab: can you reboot the live usb? [00:44] sure [00:44] stand by [00:45] liveDVD reboot in progress [00:45] er USB [00:45] ok [00:45] Thanks for all the help btw :) [00:45] no problem [00:45] ^^ [00:45] you say it's getting late... where you from? ^^ [00:47] we are from... the internet. [00:47] haha [00:47] anyone know how I can verify my hash from windows before I burn to dvd? [00:47] !hashes [00:47] See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases === matheus_ is now known as GoTheuS [00:48] Schilling: loads of free hashing programs around [00:49] EriC^^: For future reference, the reason that the umounts didn't work is that you didn't umount /mnt/Kubuntu/boot/efi/ and /mnt/Kubuntu/boot/ before umounting /mnt/Kubuntu/, so the other mounts were keeping it busy. [00:49] Schilling: download the freebie winMd5sum works great [00:49] Jordan_U: usually umount -l unmounts them al even if they're mounted in sub dirs [00:49] *al [00:49] ok. just found the instructions. Thanks all. [00:49] *all [00:50] EriC^^: Umount -l doesn't "umount them all", it just makes the other mountpoints not visable (to processes that weren't accessing them or cd'd into them when umount -l was executed). [00:51] Jordan_U: ok, so if you have something mounted in a sub dir and umount a parent dir with umount, it won't run a umount -l on the other mountpoints? [00:52] meaning you could lose data on mounted fs in the sub dirs? [00:52] EriC^^: No, if you umount, without -l, it will simply complain that the "device" is still in use. [00:52] yeah, and with the -l ? === hugo is now known as Guest81231 [00:53] it completes the umount, aren't the sub dirs also umounted ? [00:53] EriC^^: As I understand it, the umount will never "complete", it will be a lazy umount that never has the chance to actually finish. [00:54] EriC^^: Have you read the "man umount" description of what -l does? [00:54] just reread it now [00:55] so it just detaches and continues when it's not busy anymore [00:55] sounds like the tedious manual-umount of all mounts in order from child to parent directories might reign supreme =/ [00:55] so it's not really that safe [00:57] I think I got it guys [00:57] I finally was able to run the grub-install string and it didn't yell [00:57] EriC^^: It depends on your definition of safe, and what processes are reading from / writing to the filesystem and how. If you're playing a video in VLC from the mounted filesystem and you want the filesystem to be not visable to other processes, and be unmounted automatically when VLC finishes playing, then it's safe to use "umount -l". [00:57] great [00:58] trying a reboot now [00:58] shiggitay: Wait. [00:58] ....? [00:58] Jordan_U: yeah i mean after umount -l you're not actually in the clear yet [00:58] shiggitay: Do you have a grub.cfg it /mnt/Kubuntu/boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [00:58] yep [00:58] the only thing that was missing was Grub installing properly, and the installer failed at t hat [00:58] EriC^^: Correct, you couldn't safely pull out a flash drive that has only been lazily unmounted. [00:58] Ubuquity that is [00:59] shiggitay: OK, sounds good then. [00:59] OMG YES [00:59] FINALLY [00:59] XZD [00:59] er XD [01:04] !cookie | EriC^^ I have been watching this ordeal. a box of cookies . [01:04] EriC^^ I have been watching this ordeal. a box of cookies .: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [01:05] i didn't really do much shiggitay has been on it getting it to work.. [01:05] indeed, a clap for EriC^^ as i wouldn't have touched some funky tablet setup for anything [01:06] Hello, I'm looking for some support [01:08] Holiday wishes -- Mir makes 2015 the year of the Linux Desktop. :) [01:09] ghostnxs: Can not help you with alimoney , but if it is ubuntu, ask and see what results . [01:10] Haha, well my laptop doesn't reboot or shutdown without hanging in animation [01:10] ghostnxs, just a standard Ubuntu install? [01:10] 14.10? [01:11] also, some hardware specs might help. i'm not qualified to answer your question, but it could be driver related. :P [01:11] Oh hey this channel works now. [01:11] I'm trying to output 480i to an old CRT. Ubuntu doesn't even see that a monitor has been plugged in. What are my options? [01:11] Also VGA > BNC RGB connectors [01:12] BNC? lol oh dear [01:12] perhaps we need to start #ubuntu-antiques [01:12] Antiques with better color than any of my LCDs [01:12] lol [01:12] I'm only 8 years old. What is 480i? [01:12] :P [01:12] lol daftykins [01:13] I see an occasional blink that I assume is some kinda voltage probe [01:13] It works correctly if I set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX = "acpi=off" [01:13] It also might not be working as I have 4 chained together right now, so if it needs some kinda specific impedance to detect a monitor, that might get messed up. [01:13] wow [01:13] what are you running, Quixx? [01:14] I can't even imagine a setup like that. :) [01:14] 3x PVM 20L2MD and 1x PVM 20M2MD [01:14] Just testing right now [01:14] but I want to use something other than my wii to drive them [01:14] Like, you know, a computer. [01:15] wow [01:15] yeah, everything I do is virtualized at this point. I have nothing useful for you, but that's awesome. I'll leave it at that. :-) [01:15] i'm afraid as far as it goes with me, is that i tend to look down on users even using VGA as an interface... so using that? yeah that's just game over. [01:15] Would you honestly want to use HDMI for 480i? [01:15] i'd have expected VGA to BNC to have needed active conversion for starters [01:16] well i wouldn't be using anything interlaced, as it goes :) === rafael is now known as Guest57168 [01:16] VGA to BNC is just a difference in interface. They are electrically compatible [01:16] Hi [01:16] I do miss my old Sonys. They were great monitors. :-) [01:16] But the last time I ran CRTs was probably around 2002 with Gentoo. [01:16] Some of them were, pro stuff is good. Consumer is very hit and miss. [01:16] But these aren't multiscan, so I need 480i output [01:16] ok lets get back on target, support only - chat and banter in #ubuntu-offtopic please all [01:17] How do I run java jar without the console? I've tried running it as a process and the GUI does not popup [01:17] Sorry [01:17] My laptop should be able to do that [01:17] if ubuntu would output anything through vga [01:17] you should boot with it connected and look at your X log [01:17] that's the only suggestion i can make, really [01:17] Good luck, Quixx and ghostnxs. I'm back to general chat. :-) [01:19] Hmm [01:19] I think I can try making a new xrandr resolution [01:19] and forcing output [01:20] Now to find out how to do interlaced xrandr [01:21] help me on X [01:21] flashram: you're going to have to be a lot more specific than that [01:21] !details [01:21] Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

[01:21] its an irq error plus x malfunction [01:21] ~ [01:22] 14.04 [01:22] but x never started up over hdmi [01:22] is there no config.guess if i switch to vga dvi or hdmi ? [01:23] i cannot get my internal sd card reader to load.. already tried the modprobe rts5139. no module found [01:23] any help please [01:23] flashram: give more information, all on one line if possible, pastebin any relevant logs or information === owner_ is now known as Guest85683 [01:24] its like every 5 seconds of chat the irq vector kicks in and switches to alt-ctrl-f7 and that cant start [01:24] im on screen plus irssi [01:24] in alt-ctrl-f1 === OrioaZzZ is now known as Orioa [01:25] what commands should i try to give u more info ?

I have setup a Server running 14.04.1 LTS, and have made it a VM host. I have setup bridged networking and the VMs all appear as real computers on my network, however the host itself seems unable to resolve anything. I can ssh into the host, but the host can't resolve any hostnames [01:28] particularly Ubuntu servers for apt-get [01:28] PCI sysfs [01:28] etrask, have you double checked your DNS settinsg? [01:28] Reshesnik I never configured anything DNS related, everything is DHCP'd [01:30] I'd guess something is off with that. It's worth double checking, at least. check /etc/resolv.conf etrask [01:30] i've had similar issues on server. not on basic ubuntu, however. [01:30] adding in something like nameserver 8.8.8.8 [01:30] might help. :-) [01:32] no luck :( I tried adding 8.8.8.8 and servers from OpenNIC [01:32] hrm [01:32] etrask, kvm? [01:32] Ben64: how do i get that pastebin and in this channel ? [01:32] I'm just now catching up. ; [01:33] the host is running guests with KVM, yes [01:33] the guests work perfectly [01:33] !pastebinit | flashram [01:33] flashram: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [01:34] etrask, i'm much more familiar with ESXi, unfortunately, but it might be worth dumping DHCP just to get it going. [01:34] do_IRQ: 0.147 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) .... thats turning me nuts [01:35] have you tried that with any VM, etrask? [01:35] just straight up static? [01:35] static network settings you mean? no I haven't [01:35] flashram: stop focusing on that [01:35] I will have to try that [01:35] thanks for the tip Reshesnik [01:35] pastebinit ; lshw cmd and all cats ? [01:35] etrask, I'd start there. At the very least, it will tell you whether or not your KVM host is the problem. [01:36] np, hope it helps, etrask [01:36] flashram: did you read what ubottu said?

Do I have to save the file in any special way? By the way, I'm putting it on a machine that currently has Vista. Could that be a factor? [01:43] taskel asked for what u wanted to install ... u selected vm server and desktop [01:43] choose one [01:43] lol [01:44] so Ben64 did that paste resulted in something ? [01:44] Schilling: nothing wrong with trying to install beside or in place of Vista, nope. yes to special, backup any data you want on there then grab Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com for in Windows and make up the flash drive with a format, pointing it to the ISO [01:46] ben ping [01:46] I just looked at the disc contents. It has the same ISO file I downloaded. I'm pretty sure that's not supposed to be that way... [01:46] Schilling: correct. [01:46] Schilling: grab imgburn from www.imgburn.com on Vista there and burn the ISO to a blank DVD-R :> [01:47] make sure verify is on and it'll check it before you first try to use it === Orioa is now known as OrioaZzZ [01:47] I'm burning with a Win7 machine...

[02:17] every line in irssi is followed by ten the same lines about irq [02:20] afternoon [02:20] ben64 how do i get a driver via apt or what do i install in apt to get the driver N? [02:21] Ben64: more clues about gettin that driver o_0 ?.? [02:21] Hello. Is anyone familiar with Apache? I am having trouble getting a webpage to load with the www prefix. No www works but redirecting to www doesn't work. [02:22] that's DNS, not apache [02:22] modrewrite htacces ? [02:23] That's a modrewrite issue, yeah. [02:23] can i use nameservers from a domain i bought to point my pc as being the domain ?N [02:23] In one of the .conf files. [02:23] I'll post the config in pastebin in a moment [02:23] ok. [02:24] Usually changing rewrite allow from 'deny, allow' to 'allow, deny' works. [02:24] Hey! I need some help. For some reason, my laptop isnt outputting audio to my headphones for Spotify or Chrome. It works fine when using Totem Video Player. [02:26] Ben64: so how does one get the 304 driver ? [02:26] ok, here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/z0pJ5vRv [02:26] Jk, got it working [02:27] build-essentials ? === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [02:28] freddd, I don't think that's the right .conf file. Is that off your localhost? [02:28] use the package manager, search for it flashram [02:29] what exactly do i search except ?~ [02:29] except 304 what more to know ? [02:29] nvidia and that it ? [02:29] nvidia, find the 304 [02:29] got no x [02:30] install the drivers in safe mode [02:30] Schilling: This is the 000-default in the sites-enabled directory. Which .conf do you need? I don't have a .htacces [02:30] apt-cache search nvidia [02:30] or just tab-complete apt-get install nvidia [02:32] freddd: httptd.conf [02:32] .htaccess file won't do you any good if you still don't have permission to execute what's in the file. [02:33] okey installing~ [02:33] 304 [02:35] Can anyone advise as to whether I should encrypt my new ubuntu installation? [02:37] hey... i want to run a program but nothing shows up..anyone willing to help me out here [02:38] Schilling: i would say that if you store sensible information in you pc like... bank account or if you buy online or if you store some confidential data, then yes, encrypt it, if not, then don't encryt it [02:38] Ace2race: run the program with the terminal [02:38] Schilling: I don't think I have that file anywhere. [02:39] what version of cryptsetup is packaged in 14.04 [02:39] its a file... whats the command it i want to run it with java 7 [02:40] I an running 14.04 on a VPS by the way [02:40] Corey84: aptitude show cryptsetup | grep Version [02:40] Chuck_Norris, not on ubuntu atm hence the ? [02:40] Ace2race: is it a .jar ? [02:41] yeah... i set it to exicutable [02:41] Ace2race: java -jar file.jar [02:41] !info cryptsetup trusty | Corey84 [02:41] Freddd: is this on a LAMP stack? [02:41] Corey84: cryptsetup (source: cryptsetup): disk encryption support - startup scripts. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.6.1-1ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 113 kB, installed size 346 kB (Only available for linux-any) [02:41] ty [02:42] so 1.6.1 [02:42] I've dealt with this on WAMP, but not with Ubuntu. [02:42] ok [02:43] okey x [02:43] works [02:44] :) [02:44] Schilling: Apache was downloaded by itself from the repo if that's what you mean. [02:44] ok [02:44] nope but i do get this ..... no main manifest attribute, in /home/ace2race/Desktop/ld22.jar [02:44] what dose it mean [02:48] freddd: ok. so, you're basically trying to redirect, correct? [02:49] is my file corrupt? [02:50] Schilling: I am able to redirect the non www url to the www url but the page won't load. [02:50] Ace2race: i google it and yes sort of, google: "no main manifest attribute" [02:51] hi Ben64 it works now X :) [02:51] so how do i fix it... or what do i do... i realy want to play minicraft [02:51] how do i get that slick ubuntu ontop of this one now ? [02:51] the purple one ? [02:52] freddd: I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* you'll need to make an .htaccess file to make that happen. [02:52] Ace2race: i don't play minecraft but... what is your ubuntu version ? i'll see if i can find a proper guide fot that [02:52] Schilling: OK. I'll do that. [02:53] why is amazon on my desktop ? [02:53] its not minecraft.. although good game i do have it... its minicraft [02:53] I've never had a redirect work without an .htaccess file with instructions on what do do. And it *must* be in your document root. [02:53] or, site root folder, rather. [02:53] flashdeux: free advertising? [02:53] lol [02:53] flashdeux, ubuntu web app [02:54] what can ubuntu web app do ? [02:54] can i run ubuntu on the fire kindle ? [02:55] Ace2race: what is your ubuntu version ? [02:55] not very responsive app tho [02:55] flashdeux, what's your problem exactly [02:55] not really [02:55] solved :) [02:55] flashdeux, oops i meant Ace2race [02:56] 14.04 i think [02:56] * Chuck_Norris remember his days in minecraft http://paste.ubuntu.com/9608218/ [02:56] Ace2race: lsb_release -d [02:56] Ace2race, what's that ld22.jar? [02:56] http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=398 this is the game that wont play for me [02:57] Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS is my version [02:57] Ace2race, lol i misread it as minecraft [02:57] its ok [02:58] it almost tricks me too [02:58] Ace2race, oh made by notch. ok [02:58] yeah .... can you get it to run... i cant [02:59] Ace2race, did you pastebin the output of java -jar ld22.jar [02:59] its not much... i just pasted it here [03:00] no main manifest attribute, in /home/ace2race/Desktop/ld22.jar [03:02] Ace2race, make the jar file executable and try again. You never know. right click on it, then properties, then permissions [03:02] Hi there, could you please help me downgrade the kernel of ubuntu 14.10 to the version used in the LTS release 14.04? AMD fglrx doesnot seem to play nice with the new kernel. [03:02] does fgears not play nice ? [03:03] fglrxgears? [03:03] they're running nice. [03:03] :) [03:03] whats fglrx ? [03:03] but some gaming or heavy work, a null pointer or something is thrown [03:03] throw catch [03:03] fork [03:04] you're funny ;) [03:04] so how to downgrade kernel? [03:04] i cheaked it wont work [03:04] recompile kernel with needed mods in the config i guess [03:04] dont know exatcly tho [03:05] long time ago [03:05] not via apt-get or synaptic? [03:05] iLoveJava, Kernels come in sets, you would just install the one you want, not downgrading, and not really supported here technically. [03:05] via apt-get install build-essentials and the headers and sources for the kenrel u need [03:05] then config the new kernel [03:05] then compile [03:05] then reboot ? [03:06] flashdeux, that's a lot of process to get lost for a non C++ programmer [03:06] bubbasaures: he wants lts kernel [03:06] :( [03:06] not true [03:06] there isnt a second of programming involved [03:06] just setting a config and compile it [03:07] Ace2race: did you tried runing the game in firefox ? [03:07] yep... i need a plugin i cant find [03:07] bubbasaures, I have a low bandwidth connection. The latest version of fglrx only support ubuntu 14.04. I thought I could just downgrade the kernel. Do you know of any quick ways to get the thing supported in 14.10? [03:07] Ace2race: have you actually looked to see what the plugin is? Even with a google search? [03:08] iLoveJava, Downgrading is a confusing word here, you just want a kernel you think will work so install it. [03:08] tried but i didnt see anything... by the way dose firefox have java installed on it [03:08] Schilling: It's not working with an .htaccess in the root folder. Thank you for helping me though. [03:08] flashdeux, I had some horrible experiences with compiling from source. They throw out some errors often. May be too trivial like missing dependency. But the error messages are rarely helpful [03:08] bubbasaures, yes [03:09] freddd: you sure you have the right settings? [03:09] bubbasaures, is there any way to install it from apt-get or synaptic [03:09] iLoveJava: http://askubuntu.com/questions/163298/whats-a-simple-way-to-recompile-the-kernel [03:10] Schilling: Yes. I used the information from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apache-redirect-domaincom-to-wwwdomaincom/ [03:10] iLoveJava, If I wanted to put a kernel I have not for a long time I would google it, so I'm not your best help, beyond that here some will stick to a same kernel as the release to help some wont is all I meant. [03:10] 3.13.0-43-generic [03:10] Ace2race: what's happend when you click in "install this plugin" on firefox ? not by default: http://i.imgur.com/313HcRw.png [03:10] 14.04 [03:10] flashdeux, any other ways than compiling from source? [03:11] nope [03:11] ill try to install again wait a moment [03:11] Ace2race: ok [03:11] then let me check out the hard way :) [03:11] freddd: give me 3 minutes to take a look. I deal with redirects a lot with wordpress sites. [03:11] not for what ur asking [03:11] thanks flashdeux and bubbasaures [03:11] so nop unless u recompile kbin kmode [03:12] :) [03:12] no suitable plugins were found [03:12] i need java i think [03:12] so you say it's easy flasdeux, let me find out myself :) [03:12] not that easy tho ;) [03:12] Ace2race: so you can't see the windows that i have ? [03:12] u can clone menuconfig [03:12] thsts the config part [03:13] freddd: that one won't work. it's waaaay old. [03:14] flashdeux, linux-image-3.13* is not in my repos. only ones with version 3.16 [03:14] hey, what is the most similar app on Ubuntu to Foobar2000 music player on windows? [03:15] nope dont see that... mine dosent show the java for it [03:16] j8u9009: if you don't mind terminal based ones you could try ncmpcpp [03:16] iLoveJava: then change ur apt-get package manager sources.list to have lts sources [03:16] so how do i get java [03:16] Ace2race: open a terminal and copy and paste this: sudo apt-get install curl ; aptitude search jre | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw paste here the url that will pop up [03:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9608277/ [03:17] okay so I need anyone's help that's available [03:17] thats mine on lts [03:18] http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/ <== from step 7 I'm confused...

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [03:31] Schilling, [03:32] Schilling: Start a reboot and hold down the Shift key. Press the e key on getting the GRUB bootloader. Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset in their place. Press Ctrl and X at the same time to continue booting [03:32] Schilling, Say here if your dual booting with a uefi set up and your graphic info if you can. [03:33] Not dual booting. Just did a full install replacing Vista. [03:33] Figures I'd have a nvidia... [03:34] Schilling, Ah sounds msdos, mentioned uefi as you can get a black screen in it to. === Yukinotteru is now known as Dhs92 [03:35] Schilling, There is a safe x boot in the recovery, tap the shift after powering on to get the grub menu for that or the nomodeset. [03:35] ok === Dhs92 is now known as Yukitteru [03:37] Hi, I'm trying to test an exit code in an upstart script. In a script block, any command with a non-zero exit code will cause the job to fail. The suggested workaround is to do 'command || true' to make the exit code non-zero. But I want to test the exit code, e.g 'foo; if [ "$?" -eq 1 ] ; then ; bar'. Any suggestions? [03:38] tapping the shift key on reboot isn't doing anything. just goes to logon screen,... [03:38] need to hold it [03:38] alright, problem solved? [03:39] Schilling, power off. than on. than tap the shift key repeatedly [03:39] Just for sh*ts and giggles I entered my pw and boom: desktop. [03:39] Weird? [03:40] update and upgrade and check the additional drivers tab in software & updates for any nvidia [03:40] ok. [03:41] that's all I know on nvidia, hope that does it. ;) [03:42] strange that it would fail the first time, then work, eh? [03:42] Anyone here using thunderbird?

[03:46] >_> [03:47] Squinty, nvidia popped up on my Additional Drivers tab, X.Org is selected. I have other options, but they're all proprietary...should I do anything here? [03:49] Schilling: you will be using the open source nouveau driver right now. you could try installing the 331 (latest) [03:50] Schilling: also might want to check the nvidia site to see what they say supports your card. Unless you really have to recommended proceedure is to install the driver from the ubuntu repo's rather than download from their site [03:51] Schilling: once you have the driver installed, look for nvidia X server settings in your menu. you can tweak your video there [03:51] if need that is [03:51] needed [03:52] might be... [03:52] it's doing some strange things on the screen as I navigate around.. [03:53] how would I install the driver from ubuntu repo? [03:53] Schilling: from Additional Drivers [03:55] ok. [03:56] just found a way to do it from terminal as well. [03:56] Schilling: if you are unsure which nvidia card you have type in a terminal lspci | grep VGA or install inxi and then type inxi -Gx in a terminal [03:57] Just did this one: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [03:57] And it recommended a new driver to me... [03:58] Hope that does it. :P [03:58] Schilling: fwiw, https://code.google.com/p/inxi/ it's a python system script which I find handie than regular methods [03:59] Schilling: usually good if recommended.... never had a problem personally with nvidia cards :) [04:00] I never have either.

[04:12] I fig it out ... thx [04:14] !gpaeted | Guest31053 [04:14] !gparted | Guest31053 [04:14] Guest31053: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [04:15] Bashing-om, I have found gparted, however i'm unsure how to safely use it [04:15] Guest31053: I may be able to help with your partition issue [04:15] Guest31053: What is your end goal when this Windows partition is reformatted ? Then we can discuss means. [04:16] Bashing-om, i haven't decided yet; hjarntvatt how so? [04:17] Gparted will show you all your partitions and allows you to manipulate them. Did you already install and execute gparted? [04:18] You need to determine how many partitions exist on that drive [04:19] hjarntvatt, yes i have gparted open. there are 6 partitions, but one is a split one, so 4 not counting the split [04:21] Do you want to delete the windows partition and then extend that partition so that another partition becomes larger? [04:21] Any idea why df -h would report a number that doesnt make sense? It reports that my drive is 915G with 48G used, however only 822G is available. 915-48=867. Where did my other 45G go? [04:21] http://pastebin.com/XjdB8yHR [04:22] Guest31063: can you post a screenshot of what gparted is showing? [04:22] squinty: that update seemed to work like a charm. [04:22] hjarntvatt, yep [04:23] hjarntvatt, http://imgur.com/sUmgI6x [04:24] Hang on I'm turn on my Linux machine and launch gparted myself [04:26] hjarntvatt, i will admit that mistakes were made during the inital creation of the windows partition which explains the multiple ntfs partitions [04:26] Tr0gd0r: There is 5% overhead - house keeping - that is not reflected directly in the numbers . [04:27] How many OS do you want installed in the end? Just your Ubuntu Sda1? [04:27] Hello. I installed nvidia driver downloaded from Nvidia website on 14.04. Ran nvidia-xconfig and rebooted the system. At login prompt, i enter my password. However, the unity desktop is not loading. Just the wallpaper and mouse pointer is visible [04:28] try another reboot zuzup. [04:28] If it comes up, I can tell you what to do, I just did it myself. [04:28] How do i debug what is going on so that i can search and fix stuff? [04:28] Cool! Reboot to login? [04:29] hjarntvatt, for now, i'll probably just go with ubuntu over the whole, however I may well make a new windows install in the future should history repeat [04:30] yeah, reboot and logon if possible. If not, it's a whole different animal. [04:30] Fresh Ubuntu install? That may be easier [04:30] Hoping you don't have to do it. I think I got lucky. [04:30] Ok. Just rebooted. Should be a minute. Alright, I'm here. [04:31] hjarntvatt, i would, but where's the fun in that? [04:31] At the login prompt @Schilling [04:31] I think if you right click sda2 &3 , then unmount them you can right click again to delete partition. Then extend your sda1 [04:31] try to log in, zuzup. [04:32] hjarntvatt, sda 2 is labeled system reserved and boot. is it really safe to delete that? [04:32] I see my wallpaper 4:3 and that's it. @Schilling [04:32] Also my mouse [04:32] hmmmm, ok... [04:32] Probably at a very low resolution [04:32] gimme a second. [04:33] Sure [04:33] alright, gotta reboot and hold down the shift key the entire time. You need to get into Ubuntu's version of 'safe mode' [04:34] Ok [04:34] Not sure... If you have data you can risk to lose you may want to back up your data or clone your drive first before proceeding [04:34] from there, someone else might have to help. [04:34] Ohhhhh [04:34] Anyone you know who can help? @Schilling [04:35] Guest#####: the sda2 system reserved is for windows boot manager (to boot windows) [04:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [04:35] hjarntvatt, say i do delete that partition, what happens? [04:36] start there zuzup [04:36] Sda3 is your windows install [04:36] Ok. Checking it out [04:36] Sda3 = the windows OS [04:36] If you delete that it corrupts windows from booting [04:36] so .. nvidia proprietary drivers on an external drive on a macbook .. just isn’t going to happen. [04:37] hjarntvatt, gotcha [04:37] If its already corrupted you got nothing to lose [04:38] hjarntvatt, on your former point, you'd be right if i hadn't royaly screwed up when i first installed the windows. the actual windows OS resides on sda5 [04:39] Guest####: do you know difference between ext4, ntfs? NTFS is a windows filesystem. The 350mb sda2 is to boot, the 300gb is the OS [04:42] In the past I've installed windows first, then Linux. What are you trying to achieve? Just one OS? Or are you looking to dual boot? [04:42] With a choice of windows/Ubuntu? [04:42] hjarntvatt, yes i know the difference. however if you look at sda4 you will see that it has an ntfs splinter(sda5) and a linux swap(sda6). sda 5 is where the actual install for windows is. [04:42] just one OS for the time being [04:43] I'm going away. You can get at me at my nick AT gmail [04:43] Hjarntvatt AT gmail [04:43] I'll get back to you thru the week best I can [04:43] hey any hack with tecnic on evil twin ,dhcp ? karma? [04:44] If you wanna get it over with, fresh install. Or unmount/delete/extend the NTFS partitions [04:44] what does sudo -i do? What is the -i mean? [04:45] Good luck guest#### [04:45] -i can be install or interface [04:45] hjarntvatt, alright then. i'll nuke sda2 and 3. thanks, ill reach you if need be [04:46] john_doe_jr: Did you check the man page? [04:46] Sudo -I acquires the root's user environment [04:46] ngnugnu_: I did a man sudo…I just know understand it…I'm trying to prevent from having to enter in my password each time when I run a script [04:47] john_doe_jr: sudo will remember that a password has been entered for about...15 mins from memory [04:47] Sudo -i simulates a root logon [04:47] cool…so I should do this @ the top of the script so I don't have to enter in a password each time [04:48] Run sudo, then -s, then -i . then run pwd after each sudo -flag [04:48] hjarntvatt: what does the -s do? === Auv is now known as AChristmasuv [04:57] hi [04:57] Sudo -s runs a shell as root. Try it. [04:58] Sudo flags: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70534/difference-between-su-sudo-s-sudo-i [04:58] is is possible to do a sudo visudo from the terminal? [04:58] hjarntvatt, one more thing, what should i do about the ntfs split of sda4? [04:58] I mean to automate adding yourself to the visudo file [05:01] Partitions 1 thru 4 are primary, 5 up are logical. Refer to this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/83781/understanding-partition-table-with-sda1-sda2-sda5 === stub` is now known as stub [05:02] Once a partition is deleted and there is a "gap" , extend the partition prior to the gap [05:03] would it be safe to just remove sda4 as well? [05:07] @Schilling not yet [05:08] zuzup: [05:08] http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it [05:08] hjarntvatt, i'm just a tad puzzled as to what would be easier [05:08] hey I got a command here I hope you can proofread it for me? [05:08] cd /MusicToMove [05:08] find . -print0 | sort -zr | xargs -0 cp --parents [05:08] --target-directory=/media/disk/MUSIC/FoldersMoved [05:08] hey guys [05:08] (I'm not sure about the -zr bit [05:08] are someone here from brazil? [05:09] I just want do copy folders/files sequencually [05:10] slainr: hey [05:10] cq-aux, hey there [05:11] cq-aux, I've a question about LPI certification in Brazil [05:12] oh yeah? what's that? [05:12] linux certification [05:12] https://www.lpi.org/linux-certifications [05:12] Hey folks [05:12] hey jay1 [05:12] @Schilling, sorry my tablet rebooted [05:13] hey coax [05:13] Can you resend the link which you were talking about? [05:14] slainr: yeah you buy the book study and practice and then pay for and sit the exams somewhere close by [05:14] so now i have an extended partition with a broken ntfs split and a linux swap under it. anyone know if itssafe to just delete the whole partition? [05:15] cq-aux, I only have to pay the exams? I don't want to spend money with meaningless courses [05:15] cq-aux, I've using linux about 1 year at my pc [05:17] you can download the book and then study and then yeah pay4exams when you're ready [05:18] you can buy the book buy lol [05:19] cq-aux, cool, I'm reading Linux From Scratch [05:19] oh you're making your own? that's a great start [05:20] cq-aux, just doing the lessons of the book [05:20] oh, well I'll just go and try these commands a couple of different ways and see what workd [05:20] *works* [05:20] cq-aux, which distro do u use? [05:21] yeah you'll learn about the whole bootstrap and init. stuff [05:21] I'm using xubuntu trusty [05:21] cool [05:21] I'm using ubuntu mate [05:21] and has arch installed here too [05:22] oh which are you using for your linux from scratch? [05:23] hello, i've just deleted two windows partitions but there appears to be another under an extended partition that also contains a linux swap. is it safe to just delete that whole extended partition? [05:25] Finetundra, I think it's ok to delete the partition [05:26] coax: stop it [05:26] Finetundra: Before the container "extended" can be removed, the contents 'swap" must first be removed . [05:26] :) [05:29] Bashing-om, what do you mean? [05:35] hey all. a trusty box I have access to seems to be...leaner than usual. it's missing things like man and nano. could someone tell me what it could be please? and if there's a package group or something that will get me back to a more full featured install that would be awesome, cheers. [05:36] Finetundra: I mean that one can not delete the 'extended' partiton so long as there are other partitions remaining in that extended partition. Those 'logical' partitions must 1st be deleted. [05:38] Gazby: Not logical, as the man pages and 'nano' are installed in all distributions by default. Has saomeone been deleting where they should not have been deleting ??? [05:38] someone* [05:38] it's a brand new box from dimevps [05:38] vpsdime* [05:39] it's otherwise fully functional, just missing things that I expect to find on a box under normal circumstances [05:40] Gazby: Canot say as I have no experince with "vpsdime" , maybe that provider leaned it out ?? [05:41] yep, I guess i'll submit a ticket. cheers [05:55] i'm having an issue where i have a shortcut to an application on my desktop, but i want to pin it to the launcher instead. so i launch the application and pin it while it's running, but then when i delete the shortcut from my desktop it disappears from my launcher as well... any ideas on how to work around this? if i knew where the directory was for the launcher icons, i could just move the shortcut there [05:56] from the desktop i think? [06:03] plasmasnake: you should be able to right click on the app in your file manager > click on "make link" that should make a link in the directory (folder) where the app lives. Start the app and then pin. no need for launcher on desktop with that method [06:04] Start the app via the newly made link that is...... [06:07] squinty: ah, well that sounds like a good workaround.. thanks! i thought there might be a directory where i could just move the shortcut, but this will do the job... [06:13] hey there, i have libxml2 already installed on my machine [06:14] i reinstalled it using source [06:14] as there was a patch that I needed to apply [06:14] after make and make install [06:14] Waheedi, stop [06:14] using [06:14] key [06:14] lol thanks for the recommendation cfhowlett [06:14] plasmasnake: you could drag/drop (move) the link from your Desktop directory into a directory you make in your Home (ie ~/MyLinks) it would be the same thing. move it and then start from the shortcut and then pin [06:15] i still can't get the new library reflected here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so [06:16] how can i get my libxml2.so installed from source here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so as I'm sure this is the old .so file from the date [06:17] my newly installed lib is under /usr/lib/libxml2.so [06:17] should i just symlink the new one with the old one? [06:18] !info libxml2 [06:18] libxml2 (source: libxml2): GNOME XML library. In component main, is standard. Version 2.9.1+dfsg1-4ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 598 kB, installed size 1909 kB [06:19] i know all that info [06:19] Waheedi: wich ubuntu version do you have? [06:21] lotuspsychje Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS [06:21] my question is clear should i symlink the new .so file and replace it with the old one? [06:22] Waheedi: can you tell us whats your endgoal exactly [06:22] i have patched libxml2 as there was a problem with parser options [06:22] now some of my lua/c++ applications are using libxml2 already [06:23] Waheedi: cant you just get an updated version of libxml2 ? [06:23] So i want my apps to work with the patched libxml2 library. simple [06:24] lotuspsychje: i don't want to update my libxml2 version [06:24] its only missing this patch [06:26] Waheedi: maybe here? https://code.google.com/p/daisy-pipeline/issues/detail?id=326 [06:27] is that safe? lotuspsychje [06:27] thats my concern :) [06:28] Waheedi: didnt test myself, but looks like your issue [06:28] actually it is not [06:28] anyway thanks for the help lotuspsychje [06:31] you know what [06:31] this bitch is working now [06:31] :) [06:31] i love libxml2 :) [06:32] Waheedi: how did you fix now? [06:33] basically what i fixed was libxml2 HTML_PARSE_NOIMPLIED option was not considered in 2.7.8 version [06:33] which is the default version for my ubuntu version [06:34] !yay | Waheedi [06:34] Waheedi: Glad you made it! :-) [06:34] i patched a fix for it and installed in /usr/lib and then symlinked the new .so file with the old ones [06:34] thanks lotuspsychje [06:35] Is there another way that I can download Ubuntu? [06:35] The download keeps crashing [06:35] use a torrent link [06:36] we6jbo, always torrent. [06:36] Well how do I do that? [06:37] I'm running linux at the moment [06:37] !torrent | we6jbo [06:37] we6jbo: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P [06:37] Is there an easy way to do that?

[07:20] :p [07:21] Hello! [07:22] I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on an eMachine T6414. [07:22] I have d/led the iso onto a USB drive. [07:22] Scruffy_FL: Ok. What issues are you having? [07:22] Scruffy_FL, ??? dl'd onto a usb? nope ... [07:23] Pardon. [07:23] I downloaded the ISO [07:23] Scruffy_FL, and then ... ? [07:23] and then placed it onto the USB drive. [07:23] Scruffy_FL, "place it" ... HOW? [07:23] and then used the utility... [07:23] Scruffy_FL: If you are referring to just copying it then that's not going to work because you have to make it bootable. [07:23] I made it bootable. [07:24] Scruffy_FL: What OS are you using to create the install CD? [07:24] Mac OS 10.7 [07:24] I used that to d/l the ISO [07:24] I copied the ISO onto an 8 GB flash drive. [07:24] Scruffy_FL: the ISO file is an image file that contains a whole bunch of other smaller files inside it, sort of like a ZIP file [07:24] I then used Windows XP to make the USB drive bootable [07:25] you need to use a utility to write the ISO file to the USB drive so that it extracts all the files inside of it [07:25] !details | Scruffy_FL, [07:25] Scruffy_FL,: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [07:25] Scruffy_FL: here you go http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [07:25] Scruffy_FL: You can use OSX to make the USB bootable. No need of Windows. [07:26] if you follow those steps, it will do the job [07:26] Ah! plasmasnake beat me to it [07:26] Ah, well, I used the utility-- trying to find the window with it that I used. [07:26] Scruffy_FL: If you really want to use windows then I would recommend you using Unetbootin or LiLi. [07:26] Anyway, the error I get is "boot error" [07:26] "the utility" WHAT utility?! [07:26] I just tried Unetbootin. [07:26] Scruffy_FL: Yeah what utility did you use? [07:26] (second utility) [07:27] * cfhowlett gives up [07:27] Scruffy_FL: So after doing so, what problems did you run into/ [07:27] I get a "boot error" [07:27] cfhowlett: you probably should, before you get a stroke ;) [07:27] My BIOS sees the drive. [07:27] Sorry cfhowlett. [07:28] Scruffy_FL: I need more info. Sounds like you haven't got the image on that drive correctly… [07:28] Scruffy_FL, no worries. you'll get there. lots of smart people in this chanel [07:28] One moment, while I look to see the exact utilit I used. [07:28] Scruffy_FL: I'd say follow the tutorial that plasmasnake posted and create the bootable USB directly from the Mac. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [07:28] I believe the problem is that my BIOS won't let me boot from USB. [07:29] Scruffy_FL, make a boot DVD instead [07:29] Scruffy_FL: Not much we can do about that here.... [07:29] Scruffy_FL: if your USB drive doesn't look like this, then you didn't write the ISO properly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/inbjzjpsa3ll8tx/ubuntuusb.png?dl=0 [07:29] Is there a wa I can find out if the BIOS I have supports booting form USB? It appears as an option under "Removable media" [07:30] or, is there a way I can make a bootable CD? (I am visiting m parents', and they do not appear to have any DVDs) [07:30] Scruffy_FL: before moving to the BIOS, better to make sure that you're setting up your USB drive properly [07:30] check the screenshot that i just shared on dropbox [07:30] Scruffy_FL, CD? image is too big for CD [07:30] yeah you won't be able to do a CD [07:30] I know. It's 1.03 GB [07:31] Scruffy_FL, so ... NO [07:31] couldn't he grab some netinstall CD ISOs instead? [07:31] Is there not a way to make a bootable CD with a subset of the options, and then install from the USB drive? [07:31] !mini | Scruffy_FL [07:31] Scruffy_FL: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:31] Scruffy_FL: did you look at my screenshot? [07:31] Scruffy_FL: Just try that on OSX, if it doesn't work take a screenshot of your BIOS and post it somewhere. If not, then use the minimal install and use a CD. [07:32] or you could just buy a set of DVDs for cheap somewhere [07:32] good investment [07:32] one sec-- FF and Safari both crashed [07:32] oh boy [07:32] jerrcs: … he's trying to install this now, not in a week when the CDs arrive :p [07:33] St1gma: I said buy a set of DVDs, as in.. _BLANK_ DVDs. [07:33] ;) [07:33] kekeke [07:33] You have won this battle my friend! [07:33] i should have been more specific honestly [07:33] plasmasnake, my USB drive does look like the graphic [07:34] there are additional files that were on there before. [07:34] copy what you need from the USB [07:34] format it [07:34] I also got the minimal CD and booted from that. [07:34] then use unetbootin or use the osx instructions [07:34] It dies when it tried to configure DHCP [07:34] and then can't get to the ubuntu server. I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the NIC. [07:34] Wired, or wireless? [07:35] yeah i'm pretty sure you need to format the drive, not sure how you managed to do it while retaining files that were on it before [07:35] wired [07:35] Scruffy_FL: what does "it died when trying to do DHCP" mean? [07:35] All right. So, it said it couldn't detect an IP or something to that extent, yes? [07:35] One moment while I booth from the minimal CD. [07:36] Have you tried just setting the IP settings manually? [07:36] I did not. [07:36] Wait… let's see what he gets now. [07:37] The only time I've had DHCP errors is when I'm dealing with more complex network topologies, such as having managed switches without portfast, etc etc.. [07:37] (And purchasing black DVDs at this hour is not an option) [07:37] Scruffy_FL, nothing wrong with black DVD [07:37] what about white ones? (kidding) [07:38] I have never had an issue with DHCP, even in complex networks. [07:38] oops [07:38] sausage fingers [07:38] And, there may be something wrong with the NIC. Windows doesn't recognize that it has an ethernet cable plugged in. [07:38] St1gma: I had one last week, with some cisco managed switches, the dhcp timeout was too low and spanning tree was in a learning state while it was trying to find an IP [07:39] I turned off Wifi on my macbook and plugged in the cable and it works fine [07:39] Ok. [07:39] "Network autoconfiguration failed" [07:39] You might be able to get the wireless working instead? [07:39] Scruffy_FL: wifi not an option? [07:39] oh spanning tree [07:39] yeah that'll do it [07:40] I believe we have a linksys wireless USB dongle. [07:40] hah yeah. it destroyed my PXE lab. [07:40] But, I would think there would be driver issues? [07:40] Might be, might not be. Give it a shot. [07:40] The newer installers have come a long way. [07:40] So it don't belive that the installer would go through DHCP for an interface that it doesn't know it's there. [07:40] Without driver there would be no interface [07:41] So it is detecting your NIC… but DHCP is not working [07:41] look at your mac and see what IP address it gets [07:41] Scruffy_FL, alternate proposal: make a persistent USB. I use this at uni. The library computers are all in Chinese which I neither speak nor write. Quite easy to set up. Then you just boot the random computer from the USB and you're back to your buntu. I carry my USB around my neck everyday. [07:41] paste that info in here Scruffy_FL [07:41] the IP address? [07:42] Yes, and subnet [07:42] it gets through the link local address [07:42] et0 === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [07:43] Hi there. On 14.10 when I try setup chromecast on chromecast.com/setup, it says my system is not supported. Is there anythin I can do? [07:44] blurkis, ##chrome #android would know more [07:44] Scruffy_FL: Get the IP address from a working machine. Simulate that same range onto the installation of your ubuntu machine. Does that makes sense? If you have 192.168.1.105 as your IP address and 192.168.1.1 as your gateway then use something like 192.168.1.120 for your Ubuntu box IP (same gateway and netmask). [07:44] uh-oh... i got this message and my comptuer stopped: kernel:[48954.806166] Critical temperature reached (103 C), shutting down.

That is probably how it knows what OS you are using. [07:46] Hey. I'm doing huge cp command on ubuntu server and I'm connected via ssh. However I have to turn my computer off. Is there any way to close ssh without interrupting the cp command ? [07:46] thorie: Use some mineral oil, then dump that sucker in there… LOL [07:46] Stimrol: seems like a good idé. Asked on #chrome, will await response there aswell. [07:46] marel: not really, unless you already have it in a screen/tmux session [07:47] If I do ctrl+c on cp command, will I later be able to somehow resume cp command ? [07:47] marel: if you don't absolutely need to shutdown the computer, you could ctrl+z and then bg to put it in the background [07:48] don't suppose anyone has installed sublime text? [07:48] Schilling: I use Sublime [07:48] marel: but you'd still need to keep the ssh session alive [07:48] All the tutorials are for 12.04 and earlier, so I could use a hand.

Untar the sucker "./ [07:49] spittingglass: why ? IF I ctrl + c and system doesn't revert copying then I suppose later I will be able to copy again and skip files that are already copied ? [07:49] yeah, something went wrong... [07:49] I gotta delete it all and start over. [07:50] marel: no, it will start all over again from the beginning [07:50] Schilling: Depends on your window manager I guess.

[07:51] marel: then disconnect the screen session with ctrl+a d [07:51] spittingglass: what if he used rsync instead of cp [07:51] Hi guys, I haven't used xen with ubuntu before.

[07:56] plasmasnake: need some sort of manager in the background to ensure the process is still running on disconnect [07:57] Oh the resume, yeah, rsync would be the way to go with that [07:57] my suggestion was going to be that he cancel his cp, start a screen/tmux session, and then do rsync so it wouldn't have to copy all the files that had already copied [07:57] and then he could safely disconnect the ssh session [07:57] Yeah, that be the best option. rsync in a screen/tmux session [07:58] St1gma: I can't seem to get it to unpack.

[11:30] hello guys, is there a way to downgrade glibc, so the binaries compiled by GCC (4.4.5, with c++11 support) works across all linux distributions? [11:30] when we build binary on Ubuntu 12, it fails to run on older CentOS or Fedora et al. [11:31] linuxmint: in that case: reinstall and choose manual partitioning. On hda, make a 200mb boot partition and make the rest a physical volume (pv) for lvm. hdb and hdc should be just pv's. Then make a volume group (vg) out of these three pv's and make an lv for swap and one for / (and maybe one for /home). If you make them small-ish you can extend them later to your needs. [11:32] linuxmint: one downside of both this and mhddfs, is that when any disk fails, all your data will become unrecoverable, so do invest in backups :) [11:32] am11: build on the oldest you want to support. [11:33] Seveas: yes, these HDDs will be on a 2nd computer which will have 1 month backups. My 1st computer will have daily or weekly backups and send these over to computer2. That's my plan anyway. [11:34] Seveas: you mean oldest glibc (regardless flavors: Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS)? [11:34] am11: oldest os, which will mean oldest glibc. [11:37] Seveas: it is a C++ addon for node.js npm package node-sass, which will be downloaded by people using older / newer versions of various linux distributions. would generating binary on one distribution (older version) guranttee the forward compatibility on newer versions and parallel compatibility across the distributions? [11:38] Question : the domain of my website is mysite.fr and I have a development server 'ubuntu 12' in local 192.168.1.4, I copied the source code of my website in /var/www I want to redirect mysite.fr to the local server (192.168.1.4) not to the remote server [11:45] hello everyone [11:46] dynamic lot here lol [11:46] am11: no.

All I need for backup is the 3 HDDs to store data. Sounds like the LVM isn't so good due to one breaks they all break. Really, I just need to fill up HDD1, then I could 'activate' sending backups to HDD2, then HDD3 and so on.

[14:24] ok guys , this is very strange [14:24] when I do ./phantomjs/bin/phantomjs [14:24] I get the phantomjs console so its working [14:25] :) [14:25] but when I ln -s it to /usr/local/bin and do phantomjs -v it doesnt work [14:25] exact cmd to do ln ?

[14:44] with out being totaly biased lol [14:46] mo0p, in what way? [14:48] Gazby, i have been using Linux for past 6 years but after playing with OSX for an hour at friends house i found it to be a polished ubuntu lol [14:49] however, that was not enough time to find things that tick me off.. before i waste my money on new laptop was wondering if anyone here has used OSX for long period of time.. [14:50] I would recommend you go get a mac and try it out for a couple of weeks. they have a two week no questions asked return policy [14:50] Aptitude, YUM, pacman etc are all epic package managers... i understand that OSX has homebrew but .. i feel this will not be the same.. [14:50] Looking for help on switching a french keyboard to input digit when capslock. [14:50] the thing that pisses me off most is that OS X treats you like a moron at every opportunity, but than can mostly be gotten around [14:50] LOL [14:50] thats awesome. [14:50] homebrew is like a better maintained third party repo [14:51] it's really brilliant [14:51] would i find most pieces of software in homebrew though? are there multiple homebrew repo's ? [14:51] i do hear good things about it. [14:51] it's probably not quite the same, but if you can't handle the differences between homebrew and apt/pacman/yum, OS X almost certainly isn't for you [14:52] in homebrew there are namespaces (kind of like usernames on github and such) and you add those namesapces as necessary. for example there's one where you'll find every version of PHP from 5.2 through 5.6 [14:53] in that way, it's superior to most distro maintained repos [14:53] ohh, that is kinda neat .. [14:53] you may find that some random utility you used to love on linux is not available for OS X though [14:53] ciao [14:53] !lista [14:53] Rudere: No warez here!

I am trying to copy old backup files over to it, but the server keeps losing its network connection. [16:33] It will be fine for a while, then suddenly stop connecting mid-transfer (via rsync). I need to reboot, and then it connects to the network fine again. [16:33] hariom I just noticed my ubuntu boxes are also 8 mins back, odd [16:34] Any idea what I should be checking? syslog and dmesg didn't suggest anything obvious so far... [16:34] Running dhclient has no output. [16:35] Got it, nvm xD [16:35] Hi everyone. Is there an ubuntu server specific channel? [16:35] #ubuntu-server ?

My router/DHCP server is setup to give it a reserved IP address, and it works after boot, but subsequent dhclient runs never get a response. [17:01] ... why? [17:04] Crell, disable dhclient ;) [17:04] hariom are you able to resolve the host us.pool.ntp.org? [17:04] bodhi_zazen: It's the same thing that's on this laptop and working fine for days on end... [17:04] At least I presume so; DHCP just works(tm) on the laptop so I haven't messed with it. :-) [17:05] crell , try using wicd-curses [17:05] techsuperfreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9612134/ [17:05] Prock811: Not installed; and I can't apt-get it because it still won't get an address. [17:06] jhutchins, thank you for the advice. Since I don't want to add a web server, or dns server etc, which option in tasksel would bring me to a full base installation please? [17:06] It is not just a matter of which client I use myself; it boots up fine, but then after a while loses its address and doesn't get it back. [17:06] Crell, server or desktop ? [17:06] network-manager or manual config ? [17:06] ubuntu-server 14.04, default installation. [17:06] you could just remove nm and manually config [17:07] network-manager I presume; static DHCP served from my router. [17:07] Maybe, but I'd prefer to figure out the root cause than to abandon DHCP. [17:07] hariom us.pool.ntp.org uses round robin DNs, so try again a few times and see if you get a diff response from sudo ntpdate -bv us.pool.ntp.org [17:08] Crell, http://askubuntu.com/questions/431682/how-do-i-use-etc-network-interfaces-instead-of-network-manager' [17:08] Crell i install 14.04.1 Mini and i use wicd-curses network manager and it works perfistly [17:08] test [17:09] I have two netowrk interfaces, eth0 and eth1, and I can't ping the eth1 address from my network, but I can ping eth0.What couldcause this? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/32d5bc412ce00247e8c6 [17:09] Crell, hard to tell, could be anything from your router to your network card to a misconfiguration in Ubuntu [17:09] but generally you do no use dhcp to set a static ip [17:09] or at least I don't [17:10] eth0 was set up by my hosting provider, for eth1 I just let DHCP get the IP etc. It matches the one my provider says it should have === BloodbathnBeyond is now known as luckybunny [17:10] wb Corey84 [17:11] didnt know you hung out here too === greenmon is now known as greenmon2 [17:13] And bodhi left...

[17:52] what's the name of the wired network interface inketunito? [17:52] the model I mean [17:53] is it dangerous to install gcc-4.7 alongside default installed [17:53] inkjetunito, look at the file /etc/network/interfaces [17:53] compdoc: thanks! [17:53] thats where you would manually set it [17:55] inkjetunito fyi, comment all the eth0 setting to get N-M to "manage" it... [17:55] compdoc: yeah, looks like it was configured there. thanks for the quick response [17:55] zykotick9: ty [17:57] icu.cpp:42:28: fatal error: unicode/utypes.h: Bestand of map bestaat niet #include [17:58] where to get those again *shrugs* [17:59] is it dangerous to install gcc-4.7 alongside default installed gcc and such?

[18:03] it tells me in what package i can find what file or soem ? [18:04] now to let make bake pie for an half hour [18:05] :) [18:07] Question. Is network-manager supposed to be installed on a headless server, or is it just for GUIs? [18:09] flashdeux: fwiw, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ -> Search the contents of packages is also useful. [18:13] Crell: i would gess its for x [18:13] or desktop versions [18:14] ifconfig eth0 down/up for cmdline [18:14] Yeah, that's not working in my case. [18:14] After the computer's been up for a little while it loses its connection and won't reconnect until I reboot. [18:14] static configuration doesn't work at all. [18:14] And manually bouncing doesn't fix it. Needs reboot. [18:18] guh. OK, yeah, network-manager wants to install half of Gnome. [18:18] Not happening. [18:18] So why a I still having this networking issue? [18:18] fwiw, whoever was experiencing ntp problems... just did an update and new ntp and ntpdate were included === bob is now known as Guest35560 [18:22] :-D [18:25] could anyone please help me?

[18:30] lionrouge: removing splash and quiet is only for displaying what is loading while booting... it doesn't do anything video wise. [18:30] lionrouge: Start a reboot and hold down the Shift key. Press the e key on getting the GRUB bootloader. Using arrow keys navigate to and delete quiet and splash and type the word nomodeset in their place. Press Ctrl and X at the same time to continue booting [18:30] hey guys... im trying to install hhvm, and the install guide says i can get it via sudo apt-get install hhvm, but apt-cache search hhvm returns nothing. is there some ppa i need to add?

[18:45] no [18:45] okay so then can you try "ifconfig -a" [18:45] and paste the result in pastebin.org [18:45] and link the paste here === spermnode is now known as QueensMelons [19:01] is there a nice working weather indicator for ubuntu 14.10?

[19:10] sorry not even vaguely interested in looking into that on Christmas Eve [19:10] hah [19:10] u just couldnt tell [19:11] it creates an adapter and i setup share lan and it works [19:11] right and i'm saying it can be done with NM [19:12] with network manager i cant even piss straight [19:12] sorry but just cant solve the problems with that manager alone [19:12] why not a network-config tool ? [19:14] should i pick gnome-desktop in tasksel if i want to have slick ubuntu ? [19:15] I like ubuntu server + minimal Mate desktop. very sweet [19:15] or VM server :) [19:15] what exactly is mate using vlc ? [19:16] nickdeux, nope, vlc is optional [19:16] know any more intresting projects compdoc ? xmas releases ? wifi softap for ubuntu ? [19:17] nickdeux: network manager manages the network connections as-is, to try and use something else would involve fighting with it.

[19:19] *facepalm* [19:19] then he would have second static in network manager [19:19] you don't make much sense to me i'm afraid. [19:19] k thkx tho [19:20] Does anyone know how to get Sylpheed to run from the system tray all the time, and not just when you have it open? [19:20] daftykins, that didnt work [19:21] dts|pokeball: uh-huh, it was an initial step. rather than "it dun work" you could show some pastebin evidence :) [19:21] ignossi is spamming. [19:22] daftykins, well i ran that and then ran apt-get install hhvm [19:22] which produced the same result [19:22] i wasnt aware it was just the first step [19:22] dts|pokeball, apt-get -f install [19:22] Is there any way I could see the bandwidth usage for an interface since the time I installed Ubuntu? I tried nload but it seems it only shows usage since last reboot [19:23] daftykins: one last thing how do i setup ics or share connection between two adapters ? [19:23] dts|pokeball, then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:23] catbusters: put the result in a database tadada [19:24] ObrienDave, and just to make sure i understand, its literally just apt-get -f install. no package? [19:24] catbusters, no. only from the point of logging. [19:24] nickdeux: You misunderstood me. I want to see my usage going backward, not keep a log of it going forward [19:24] dts|pokeball, that fixes broken packages first [19:24] ! [19:24] OerHeks: So is there anything else I could use to see my usage till date? [19:25] I remember in Windows it shows you your usage per network [19:25] catbusters, maybe your ISP can tell [19:25] OerHeks: they wouldn't be able to tell my usage per device though [19:26] catbusters, that wasn't your original question. [19:26] OerHeks: I only want to know the bandwidth usage for a specific computer [19:27] And there are many computers connected to the network [19:28] catbusters: then turn the log output program result the database backward [19:29] catbusters: talk yo to ur isp if u want to know there clients [19:29] ObrienDave, i ran all of that, and sudo apt-get install hhvm is still giving the same answer [19:30] !find hhvm [19:30] Package/file hhvm does not exist in utopic [19:30] eli77: do you need ubottu help?

[19:32] hello [19:32] eli77: you wandered into here and #ubuntu-irc saying !, I figure you might be a little confused [19:32] the installer does not offer me an option to install ubuntu alongside windows, why? [19:33] rww: yes Im confused a lot [19:33] jigglebells, How many windows partitions do you see in the something other option? [19:33] dts|pokeball, try running through the install steps again [19:33] bubbasaures: one [19:33] ObrienDave, ok [19:34] jigglebells: which version of Windows? [19:34] 8.1 [19:34] odd. 8.1 generally uses 2+ partitions [19:34] oh yeah [19:35] sda1 sda2 [19:35] i tought you were asking about a sdb [19:36] rww: what did I do? [19:37] jigglebells, Can you pastebin the output of sudo parted -l [19:37] rww: what is whois? [19:39] 8.1 EFI installed has more than 2 [19:39] 4-5 probably [19:39] if oem [19:39] *nod* [19:40] bubbasaures: http://pastebin.com/qGA9cLg2 [19:40] Is anyone experienced at solving sound issues in Ubuntu? I've been cracking my head against this issue, but haven't gotten any progress. [19:41] taserian: how many guesses do i get? [19:41] jigglebells, msdos cool resize the windows in windows leaving an unallocated space and ubuntu should give you an install alongside option. [19:41] or will you detail the problem... [19:42] bubbasaures: through the installer? "something else" ? or gparted? [19:43] hello salut . [19:44] jigglebells, Not sure I understand your question. [19:44] bubbasaures: how to resize [19:44] jigglebells, Windows has a partitioner that is run while live. [19:44] jigglebells: boot windows. run diskmgmt.msc - resize. [19:44] that is the onr thanks daftykins [19:44] one* [19:45] anytime :) [19:45] is it faster to do it in windows? [19:45] jigglebells, safer [19:46] hello . someebody were here ? [19:46] ok thanks [19:46] in my opinion and many others however the built in resizer works, I use the windows myself jigglebells [19:47] is there a gui in windows? [19:47] perhaps the "disk management" ? [19:47] jigglebells, Yep use the command daftykins gave you in the run [19:47] ok thanks [19:48] I have a video in webm format and would like to compress it by time so that the final file is like a time lapse video. I've only found info on creating a time lapse from multi burst images. [19:48] jigglebells, You have to be admin though which the first account on W8 or any windows is. [19:48] i am bubbasaures [19:48] I figured so, just a clucking mother syndrome here. ;) [19:48] im gonna try that now [19:49] thanks again :D [19:51] oooh i want to install linux 13. on my 12.04 [19:51] linux 13 ? [19:51] Sach, I believe video is fairly compressed and all you can do is loose data and have less quality. [19:52] any compression is fairly small anyway [19:53] sliderfly: "Ubuntu 13" is already end of life, your supported options are currently 12.04.5, 14.04.1 and 14.10 [19:53] Sach: compressing it won't make it time lapse, you are looking to re-encode it removing frames [19:54] yeah linux ubuntu 13 [19:54] that distro is end of live and unavailable as a supported distro [19:54] bubbasaures: thanks. so is it possible to save the video in a way that it is sped up? [19:54] sliderfly: no, they're dead. no more 13. [19:55] ikonia: I've tried ffmpeg to speed up the video, but it does seem to work for me. [19:55] Sach: speed up the video ? you where talking about compressing it a minute ago [19:55] sliderfly: do you want to upgrade from 12.04 -> 14.04 ? [19:55] Sach: what do you actually want ? [19:55] Sach, Not sure and I may be not exactly correct on this just a heads up, hate to have you miss anything possible. ;) [19:56] anyone else getting PM spam from sliderfly with bad punctuation? [19:56] ikonia: I want to save a version of the webm video that is sped up. ie. 5x speed. [19:56] punctuation is fine in mine, lol [19:56] Sach: thats nothing to do with "saving it" === Sach is now known as Guest82824 [19:56] Sach: you'd need to re-encode it at x5 speed [19:58] konia: what do you mean? [19:58] Sach_: you would either need to re-encode the file or use the play back software to run at x5 [19:59] i dn"t want to upgrade . i want to intall, ubuntu 13. how can i do [19:59] sliderfly: ubuntu 13.X is end of life, we do not support it, sorry [20:00] okay [20:00] sliderfly, Can you tell us why you want a second ubuntu? the one you want is not supported is all. [20:01] linux 12.04 have many problem [20:01] sliderfly, why not 14.04 [20:02] i did it [20:02] How can I update my version of gcc and g++ to the very latest on ubuntu 14.04 ? [20:02] but no option again [20:02] because . i hadn't 14.04 and i havent time to download this [20:03] jingglebells, Take a screen shot of that gui and put it in a imagebin the prtsc key will do the pic [20:03] innnh what [20:05] bubbasaures: http://i.imgur.com/TewRCIQ.png [20:06] MerryL235: please report it to #ubuntu-ops [20:07] jingglebells, Hmm, how about a screen shot of gparted. [20:07] bubbasaures: EFI vs. legacy boot of media perhaps? [20:07] jingglebells, I wonder if you have a broken partition table is all. [20:08] bubbasaures: http://i.imgur.com/rYBQCbV.png [20:08] daftykins, Yeah could be but it should legacy boot auto but not sure really, it is a msdos table [20:09] jingglebells: is this some kind of little netbook? :P [20:09] that's one horribly low resolution [20:09] daftykins: precisely [20:09] and it really came with win8? [20:09] nope [20:09] so you just put it on after to try it out? [20:09] yes [20:10] daftykins, Maybe the bootinfo would be helpful [20:10] Does anyone else have any problems with a flickering screen in Ubuntu? [20:10] bubbasaures: i shall leave it to you, i'd probably just try a manual install at this point for lack of any better ideas :) [20:11] daftykins, That was what I was thinking. [20:11] jingglebells, You could try a something else option and make the partition in the unallocated for the ubuntu and than a swap, ubuntu's mount is '/' [20:12] this is a manual install [20:12] okay [20:13] bubbasaures: i really dont wanna do that [20:13] hi all, I have a desperate question.. I have a command which can either return nothing or return a hash string (ex. je21ek21h21l). I would like to check whether I have an empty string or an actual string. I tried doing this EXISTS=$(some stuff), then if [ $EXISTS ]; then echo hi; fi. Is this correct ? [20:13] Because it gives me very strange behvaiour [20:13] jingglebells, Everything looks correct as far as you should have the alongside option, not sure why it is not there. [20:13] bubbasaures: perhaps it need to turn off the fast boot option of windows? [20:13] stoogenmeyer: try #bash this is an OS support channel. [20:14] When EXISTS contains something I get /proc/self/fd/9: 3: [: 1153e52d1efc: unexpected operator [20:14] um ok thanks! [20:14] jingglebells, Ah yes, there is a legacy button you must have set it, just make sure windwos boots after any changes\. [20:15] jingglebells, and windows cannot be in the hybrid sleep that is part of that fast boot on an install, and wont be there after an install of ubuntu. [20:16] so . i want to know if linux have a social network [20:16] So I did an distro upgrade from 8.04lts to 10.04 and now it's rebooting... does the upgrade do anything during the restart before it goes back online? [20:17] so i made a wireless network [20:17] so how do i now ics or share the connection with lan ? [20:17] and whats the real cmd to do it in terminal ?

[20:22] ikonia the upgrade went ok but now my ssh is saying connection refused [20:22] 14.04 I have an internal HD that is formatted NTFS. I want to blitx it and reformat as EXT4 but, I cant see it in gparted [20:22] ikonia I might have to go onsite for it i guess [20:22] thank u [20:23] EiEiOhh: install "pastebinit" then run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [20:23] weaksauce: if you did a dist-upgrade you may have ssh running on 1022 (I think) [20:23] on 1022 ?? [20:23] what [20:23] dist-upgrade dos not change the ssh port [20:23] it doesn't [20:23] it starts a new listener on that port [20:24] EiEiOhh: if you have more than one drive have you selected it via the drive selection pull down in the right hand corner [20:24] it doesn't start a new sshd proces on 1022 [20:24] daftykins: no its working now :) ... its only if lan is connected thers no network-manager but a network connection there [20:24] flashdeux: network manager is always there [20:24] flashdeux: i don't care :) NM works and you refuse to use it, you're on your own [20:24] it does [20:25] ikonia: it does, it will present you with a message saying that another instance of the service willb e started while it is being upgraded. Normally the port is 1022 but you should read the prompt to know that would be. [20:25] it works okey >... and ics and wlan hosted network works [20:25] but ive seen no network manager [20:25] it does this if you upgrade from an ssh connection [20:25] if you are doing it locally then it doesn't [20:25] but made a wlan host and ics in connections(active connections) [20:26] at first it was there when i wasnt connected [20:26] lol i cant explain :p [20:26] daftykins, this one? Nautilus Pastebin Configurator? === acr is now known as MrFoo === MrFoo is now known as MrBar [20:28] flashdeux: what are you trying to do? [20:28] what is the/a vlc equivalent of "mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0:input=1:normid=0"? [20:28] St1gma doesn't help much because my router is blocking those ports. [20:28] but I might be able to open that up remotely [20:28] So you did upgrade over SSH? [20:28] i was trying to host a wlan network with ics to shared [20:28] it works now xD [20:29] St1gma yeah. not ideal but I had no real good choice [20:29] EiEiOhh: apt-get install pastebinit ; simples. [20:29] acovrig: might try #videolan (vlc support channel) [20:29] flashdeux: I use dnsmasq and hostapd to host my wifi, no need for gui tools [20:29] now I have to get someone to let me onsite but they won't be around for a few hours [20:30] squinty, yea, there isn't much activity there, I'm wondering if someone here would know; I tried vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 but get nothing... [20:30] well tell me howto hostapd cuz somehow i just tried on a client and it doesnt work [20:30] this drive Im about to partition as EXT4 will only have media data on it (no OS) should it be Primary or Extended? I dont think I need more than one partioin on it [20:30] weaksauce: that's fine to do that, the problem is that without having access to those additional ports you are not locked out of your own box [20:31] flashdeux: give me a sec and I can get you some config files [20:31] k :) [20:31] St1gma yeah, that's what I was worried about before I started it but didn't expect the upgrade to hose ssh as that's typically a pretty solid thing [20:33] looks like I can get onsite right now. [20:34] EiEiOhh: Might think about organization of your media, and prepare several partitions. IE personal data, backups, video, music, other stuff. [20:34] flashdeux: pm me an email address, I'm feeding my son right now so it'll take longer than a sec :P [20:35] heh [20:35] and a gpg key ?

The guru's will respond if any know . [22:00] totesmuhgoats: pretty sure it's an experimental fs and going non-included kernel will mean zero support [22:00] so all a bit risky.

[22:24] I double checked if I had the right one [22:25] venicci: ok, well sometimes you can pick a more generic option (if you're referring to the CUPS pages at http://localhost:631/ ) such as a 190 or 100 series maybe.

But it's still not printing... [22:49] well they also say to run a command which is completely against ubuntu best practice, so they need to be warned how terrible their inux catering is [22:49] *Linux [22:49] so were you able to find the relevant model this time? [22:50] Yes I was, and my printer is now listed and I've set it as standard... but trying to print a document does not result in a print [22:51] wouldn't hurt to restart since i think [22:52] it might've been better to run their driver installer script, perhaps it does something better than this [22:52] ah ofcourse that could be a good idea...

[23:21] Yes it is. [23:21] does it have a space in it? [23:22] I am not sure of the question, I downloaded the images into the child folder. [23:22] I don't think it can be in subdirectories [23:22] there was discussion in a recent unity release that it was locked to the parent pictures folder [23:22] right so is ~/Pictures/folder_name_here/ got any spaces in it? e.g. "chulls amazing pics" === lubuntu is now known as Guest99269 [23:22] there is a same issue with gnome, and they shared the same library [23:22] ooh-err [23:22] I don't now if thats still valid though [23:22] that's quite a basic one [23:23] The original folder is in a subdirectory of usr [23:23] usr ??

[23:41] add gotham repos [23:42] then install xbmc [23:42] not kodi [23:42] tofupunx: if you have a typical home setup your gateway is your router's IP, probably 192.168.1.1 [23:42] hi guys, Is there a package that does the following: read all words in a text file, make a list of them, sort them, count them, show only one word a kind, and with a number how many these word exist in the textfile [23:42] right, what daftykins already said [23:43] user4: weka can do that [23:44] user4: sort of an overkill suggestion on my part since weka is a data mining tool, you could write a shell script to do what you suggested... but you'd have to be familiar with writing shell scripts [23:44] user4: but if you don't want to do any programming/scripting, weka would be the one tool that i know can do the job... it's called a word vector [23:45] or document vector maybe, can't remember [23:45] plasmasnake: thank you for your suggestion, I'm going to check that package now [23:45] yea gotcha plasmasnake... just rebooting as the change still didn't seem to get it working [23:46] plasmasnake: is weka a GUI tool btw? [23:46] user4: yes it's a GUI tool [23:46] user4: i hope i'm not going overkill though haha.. it's sort of like killing a mosquito with a sledgehammer [23:47] user4: are they separated by newlines [23:47] i mean spaces [23:47] EriC^^: yes [23:47] sed 's/ /\n/g' /path/to/file [23:48] that will give you a list with each word on one line [23:48] you'll need wc and sort -u maybe for the rest [23:49] yeah EriC^^ 's suggestion is better unless you absolutely want GUI... but you could just take it as a learning opportunity to write a script and learn some console-based tools [23:49] thanks dafykins, plasmasnake for the help, seems it was my mistake that was the problem... now working! [23:50] nice [23:52] user4: for i in $(sed 's/ /\n/g' /path/to/file); do grep $i /path/to/file | echo $i $(wc -l); done | sort -u [23:52] sorry it's pretty messy, it works though === Metacity is now known as Metachristmas [23:55] user4: and just in case you need to do something like this in the future, here's an example of the kind of stuff that you can do with weka (document classification): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlVJ2_N_Olo [23:55] it can do stuff like "stemming" (so e.g., "dog" and "dogs" would be counted the same) [23:56] but no need to use it if this is just a one-time thing and the simple shell script does the job for you [23:57] EriC^^: plasmasnake thank you for your reply guys, I'm going trying to understand those [23:58] np
