[00:00] <EriC^^> shiggitay: hmm
[00:00] <EriC^^> shiggitay: does it have the flag for efi
[00:00] <EriC^^> ef00
[00:01] <EriC^^> shiggitay: type sudo gdisk -l /dev/...
[00:02] <shiggitay> WTF it's not
[00:03] <arun_> squinty: ^^
[00:03] <shiggitay> how do I change that?
[00:03] <shiggitay> @ EriC^^
[00:03] <shiggitay> nvm I got it
[00:04] <EriC^^> ok
[00:05] <shiggitay> I think I'm close xD
[00:06] <squinty> arun_:  maybe the following will be of some use  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Plymouth   never played around with it myself
[00:06] <shiggitay> I just wanna frickin' boot without the LiveUSB, and then I'll do some fun stuff
[00:08] <arun_> squinty: I fixed it myself, there was no themes so... that happened
[00:09] <EriC^^> shiggitay: did it make the .efi file?
[00:09] <squinty> arun_:  :)
[00:14] <shiggitay> EriC^^, yeah
[00:14] <shiggitay> but it's still not liking my ESP
[00:15] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and the contents of /proc/mounts.
[00:15] <EriC^^> shiggitay: ^^
[00:15] <shiggitay> Jordan_U, I can't.. no networking
[00:15] <EriC^^> type df -h | grep /boot
[00:16] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: Sneakernet?
[00:16] <shiggitay> EriC^^, that command shows nothing
[00:16] <shiggitay> and Jordan_U eh?
[00:17] <Jordan_U> 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] <shiggitay> Jordan_U, I'm getting my WiFi working
[00:18] <shiggitay> hold on
[00:19] <EriC^^> shiggitay: that means /boot isn't mounted
[00:19] <shiggitay> hm
[00:19] <EriC^^> shiggitay: type sudo blkid | grep vfat
[00:20] <shiggitay> my WiFi driver is compiling
[00:20] <shiggitay> hold on
[00:20] <EriC^^> */boot/efi
[00:20] <shiggitay> I guess my WiFi/Bluetooth driver?
[00:20] <EriC^^> i mean it means /boot/efi isn't mounted
[00:20] <shiggitay> well it is.. so says 'mount'
[00:21] <EriC^^> mount | grep /boot
[00:21] <EriC^^> returns what?
[00:21] <shiggitay> nothing so I guess it isn't mounted properly
[00:27] <EriC^^> shiggitay: you're in the live usb?
[00:28] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: Why were you compiling grub from source earlier?
[00:29] <shiggitay> http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
[00:29] <shiggitay> Jordan_U,  ^ ^ ^ ^
[00:29] <shiggitay> I don't have the specific tablet, but I have one with a BayTrail processor
[00:29] <EriC^^> shiggitay: are you in the live usb right now? i mean not chrooted
[00:30] <shiggitay> I am chrooted
[00:30] <shiggitay> why
[00:30] <EriC^^> shiggitay: exit the chroot
[00:30] <EriC^^> you need to mount stuff properly
[00:32] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: What version of Ubuntu are you installing?
[00:32] <shiggitay|Tab> Jordan_U: 14.10
[00:32] <shiggitay|Tab> http://pastebin.com/z8kBqKtH
[00:32] <shiggitay|Tab> the parted  -l output
[00:32] <shiggitay|Tab> EriC^^: okay I'm out of the chroot
[00:33] <Jordan_U> 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] <shiggitay|Tab> Jordan_U: well the installer seems to fail whenever it gets to that point
[00:34] <shiggitay|Tab> EriC^^: /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt/kubuntu/boot type vfat (rw)
[00:35] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount /mnt/kubuntu/boot
[00:35] <Jordan_U> 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] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: efi partitions are mounted to /boot/efi
[00:35] <shiggitay|Tab> ok
[00:35] <Chuck_Norris> that looked like an Android partition -.-
[00:36] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: sudo blkid | grep /mnt
[00:37] <shiggitay|Tab> nothing
[00:39] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: lol, sorry it's getting late
[00:39] <Deviad> Hello, does anyone have experience with dovecot, spamassassin and amavis?
[00:39] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: mount | grep /mnt
[00:39] <Deviad> I was able to set everything up, receive and send the e-mails properly with a virtual user
[00:40] <Deviad> but I cannot let the messages be filtered
[00:40] <Deviad> I tried with a test spam message but it is not filtered.
[00:41] <Deviad> No ideas?
[00:41] <shiggitay|Tab> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/QZHFujvw
[00:42] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: that's pretty messy
[00:42] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount -l /mnt
[00:42] <esko997> Question if anyone has second
[00:42] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: sudo umount -l /mnt/kubuntu
[00:42] <EriC^^> then mount | grep again please
[00:42] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: mount | grep /mnt
[00:42] <esko997> Why does Ubuntu 14.04 no longer feature 'service networking restart' or '/etc/init.d/networking restart'?
[00:43] <shiggitay|Tab> EriC^^: ok
[00:43] <shiggitay|Tab> done
[00:43] <shiggitay|Tab> what now
[00:43] <EriC^^> does it return anything? mount | grep /mnt ?
[00:44] <shiggitay|Tab> EriC^^: yeah but nothing different from before it seems
[00:44] <EriC^^> shiggitay|Tab: can you reboot the live usb?
[00:44] <shiggitay|Tab> sure
[00:44] <shiggitay|Tab> stand by
[00:45] <shiggitay> liveDVD reboot in progress
[00:45] <shiggitay> er USB
[00:45] <EriC^^> ok
[00:45] <shiggitay> Thanks for all the help btw :)
[00:45] <EriC^^> no problem
[00:45] <shiggitay> ^^
[00:45] <shiggitay> you say it's getting late... where you from? ^^
[00:47] <daftykins> we are from... the internet.
[00:47] <shiggitay> haha
[00:47] <Schilling> anyone know how I can verify my hash from windows before I burn to dvd?
[00:47] <bazhang> !hashes
[00:48] <daftykins> Schilling: loads of free hashing programs around
[00:49] <Jordan_U> 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] <squinty> Schilling:  download  the freebie   winMd5sum    works great
[00:49] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: usually umount -l unmounts them al even if they're mounted in sub dirs
[00:49] <EriC^^> *al
[00:49] <Schilling> ok. just found the instructions. Thanks all.
[00:49] <EriC^^> *all
[00:50] <Jordan_U> 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] <EriC^^> 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] <EriC^^> meaning you could lose data on mounted fs in the sub dirs?
[00:52] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: No, if you umount, without -l, it will simply complain that the "device" is still in use.
[00:52] <EriC^^> yeah, and with the -l ?
[00:53] <EriC^^> it completes the umount, aren't the sub dirs also umounted ?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> 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] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: Have you read the "man umount" description of what -l does?
[00:54] <EriC^^> just reread it now
[00:55] <EriC^^> so it just detaches and continues when it's not busy anymore
[00:55] <daftykins> sounds like the tedious manual-umount of all mounts in order from child to parent directories might reign supreme =/
[00:55] <EriC^^> so it's not really that safe
[00:57] <shiggitay> I think I got it guys
[00:57] <shiggitay> I finally was able to run the grub-install string and it didn't yell
[00:57] <Jordan_U> 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] <EriC^^> great
[00:58] <shiggitay> trying a reboot now
[00:58] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: Wait.
[00:58] <shiggitay> ....?
[00:58] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: yeah i mean after umount -l you're not actually in the clear yet
[00:58] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: Do you have a grub.cfg it /mnt/Kubuntu/boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[00:58] <shiggitay> yep
[00:58] <shiggitay> the only thing that was missing was Grub installing properly, and the installer failed at t hat
[00:58] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: Correct, you couldn't safely pull out a flash drive that has only been lazily unmounted.
[00:58] <shiggitay> Ubuquity that is
[00:59] <Jordan_U> shiggitay: OK, sounds good then.
[00:59] <shiggitay> OMG YES
[00:59] <shiggitay> FINALLY
[00:59] <shiggitay> XZD
[00:59] <shiggitay> er XD
[01:04] <Bashing-om> !cookie | EriC^^ I have been watching this ordeal. a box of cookies .
[01:05] <EriC^^> i didn't really do much shiggitay has been on it getting it to work..
[01:05] <daftykins> indeed, a clap for EriC^^ as i wouldn't have touched some funky tablet setup for anything
[01:06] <ghostnxs> Hello, I'm looking for some support
[01:08] <Reshesnik> Holiday wishes -- Mir makes 2015 the year of the Linux Desktop. :)
[01:09] <Bashing-om> ghostnxs: Can not help you with alimoney , but if it is ubuntu, ask and see what results .
[01:10] <ghostnxs> Haha, well my laptop doesn't reboot or shutdown without hanging in animation
[01:10] <Reshesnik> ghostnxs, just a standard Ubuntu install?
[01:10] <Reshesnik> 14.10?
[01:11] <Reshesnik> also, some hardware specs might help. i'm not qualified to answer your question, but it could be driver related. :P
[01:11] <Quixx> Oh hey this channel works now.
 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?
 Also VGA > BNC RGB connectors
[01:12] <daftykins> BNC? lol oh dear
[01:12] <daftykins> perhaps we need to start #ubuntu-antiques
[01:12] <Quixx> Antiques with better color than any of my LCDs
[01:12] <squinty> lol
[01:12] <Reshesnik> I'm only 8 years old.  What is 480i?
[01:12] <Reshesnik> :P
[01:12] <EriC^^> lol daftykins
[01:13] <Quixx> I see an occasional blink that I assume is some kinda voltage probe
[01:13] <ghostnxs> It works correctly if I set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX = "acpi=off"
[01:13] <Quixx> 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] <Reshesnik> wow
[01:13] <Reshesnik> what are you running, Quixx?
[01:14] <Reshesnik> I can't even imagine a setup like that. :)
[01:14] <Quixx> 3x PVM 20L2MD and 1x PVM 20M2MD
[01:14] <Quixx> Just testing right now
[01:14] <Quixx> but I want to use something other than my wii to drive them
[01:14] <Quixx> Like, you know, a computer.
[01:15] <Reshesnik> wow
[01:15] <Reshesnik> 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] <daftykins> 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] <Quixx> Would you honestly want to use HDMI for 480i?
[01:15] <daftykins> i'd have expected VGA to BNC to have needed active conversion for starters
[01:16] <daftykins> well i wouldn't be using anything interlaced, as it goes :)
[01:16] <Quixx> VGA to BNC is just a difference in interface. They are electrically compatible
[01:16] <we6jbo> Hi
[01:16] <Reshesnik> I do miss my old Sonys.  They were great monitors. :-)
[01:16] <Reshesnik> But the last time I ran CRTs was probably around 2002 with Gentoo.
[01:16] <Quixx> Some of them were, pro stuff is good. Consumer is very hit and miss.
[01:16] <Quixx> But these aren't multiscan, so I need 480i output
[01:16] <daftykins> ok lets get back on target, support only - chat and banter in #ubuntu-offtopic please all
[01:17] <we6jbo> 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] <Reshesnik> Sorry
[01:17] <Quixx> My laptop should be able to do that
[01:17] <Quixx> if ubuntu would output anything through vga
[01:17] <daftykins> you should boot with it connected and look at your X log
[01:17] <daftykins> that's the only suggestion i can make, really
[01:17] <Reshesnik> Good luck, Quixx and ghostnxs.  I'm back to general chat. :-)
[01:19] <Quixx> Hmm
[01:19] <Quixx> I think I can try making a new xrandr resolution
[01:19] <Quixx> and forcing output
[01:20] <Quixx> Now to find out how to do interlaced xrandr
[01:21] <flashram> help me on X
[01:21] <daftykins> flashram: you're going to have to be a lot more specific than that
[01:21] <daftykins> !details
[01:21] <flashram> its like totally **** up ...
[01:21] <flashram> its an irq error plus x malfunction
[01:21] <flashram> ~
[01:22] <flashram> 14.04
[01:22] <flashram> but x never started up over hdmi
[01:22] <flashram> is there no config.guess if i switch to vga dvi or hdmi ?
[01:23] <bynarie> i cannot get my internal sd card reader to load.. already tried the modprobe rts5139. no module found
[01:23] <bynarie> any help please
[01:23] <Ben64> flashram: give more information, all on one line if possible, pastebin any relevant logs or information
[01:24] <flashram> its like every 5 seconds of chat the irq vector kicks in and switches to alt-ctrl-f7 and that cant start
[01:24] <flashram> im on screen plus irssi
[01:24] <flashram> in alt-ctrl-f1
[01:25] <flashram> what commands should i try to give u more info ?
[01:26] <flashram>  no irq handler for vector (-1)do_IRQ ~
[01:26] <Ben64> flashram: lshw -c video; cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:26] <flashram> and xorg failed to idle channel
[01:27] <etrask> hello all. 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] <etrask> particularly Ubuntu servers for apt-get
[01:28] <flashram> PCI sysfs
[01:28] <Reshesnik> etrask, have you double checked your DNS settinsg?
[01:28] <etrask> Reshesnik I never configured anything DNS related, everything is DHCP'd
[01:30] <Reshesnik> I'd guess something is off with that.  It's worth double checking, at least. check /etc/resolv.conf etrask
[01:30] <Reshesnik> i've had similar issues on server.  not on basic ubuntu, however.
[01:30] <Reshesnik> adding in something like nameserver 8.8.8.8
[01:30] <Reshesnik>  might help. :-)
[01:32] <etrask> no luck :( I tried adding 8.8.8.8 and servers from OpenNIC
[01:32] <Reshesnik> hrm
[01:32] <Reshesnik> etrask, kvm?
[01:32] <flashram> Ben64: how do i get that pastebin and in this channel ?
[01:32] <Reshesnik> I'm just now catching up. ;
[01:33] <etrask> the host is running guests with KVM, yes
[01:33] <etrask> the guests work perfectly
[01:33] <Ben64> !pastebinit | flashram
[01:34] <Reshesnik> etrask, i'm much more familiar with ESXi, unfortunately, but it might be worth dumping DHCP just to get it going.
[01:34] <flashram> do_IRQ: 0.147 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) .... thats turning me nuts
[01:35] <Reshesnik> have you tried that with any VM, etrask?
[01:35] <Reshesnik> just straight up static?
[01:35] <etrask> static network settings you mean? no I haven't
[01:35] <Ben64> flashram: stop focusing on that
[01:35] <etrask> I will have to try that
[01:35] <etrask> thanks for the tip Reshesnik
[01:35] <flashram> pastebinit ; lshw cmd and all cats ?
[01:35] <Reshesnik> etrask, I'd start there.  At the very least, it will tell you whether or not your KVM host is the problem.
[01:36] <Reshesnik> np, hope it helps, etrask
[01:36] <Ben64> flashram: did you read what ubottu said?  "Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com"
[01:39] <flashram> okey got to type it over now
[01:40] <flashram> http:// paste.ubuntu.com /9607908
[01:40] <flashram> any clues tho o_0
[01:41] <Schilling> Alright, I'm officially stumped....
[01:41] <Schilling> Tried to install twice, can't even get it to read the disk.
[01:42] <daftykins> DVD?
[01:42] <Schilling> Yeah.
[01:42] <daftykins> ugh
[01:42] <daftykins> USB flash drives are so less painful :>
[01:43] <Schilling> I have one available. 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] <flashram> taskel asked for what u wanted to install ... u selected vm server and desktop
[01:43] <flashram> choose one
[01:43] <flashram> lol
[01:44] <flashram> so Ben64 did that paste resulted in something ?
[01:44] <daftykins> 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] <flashram> ben	ping
[01:46] <Schilling> 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] <daftykins> Schilling: correct.
[01:46] <daftykins> Schilling: grab imgburn from www.imgburn.com on Vista there and burn the ISO to a blank DVD-R :>
[01:47] <daftykins> make sure verify is on and it'll check it before you first try to use it
[01:47] <Schilling> I'm burning with a Win7 machine...
[01:48] <daftykins> well same deal then
[01:48] <flashram> Ben64: did that paste come out right ?
[01:48] <Schilling> For some reason I don't have the "Burn to Disc" option that is shown on the community pages.
[01:48] <flashram> becuz doing it again resulted in same number
[01:48] <daftykins> Schilling: *shrug* yeah 7 does have a built in writer, but just use the above free program as an alternative
[01:49] <glym> hi all
[01:49] <flashram> 9607949
[01:49] <daftykins> hi
[01:49] <glym> привет =)
[01:49] <glym> как поживаете
[01:49] <daftykins> !ru
[01:49] <flashram> !be
[01:49] <glym> =(
[01:49] <Schilling> ok. would UltraISO work as well?
[01:50] <daftykins> don't know.
[01:50] <daftykins> why are you so against installing a tiny free program :P
[01:50] <Schilling> Alright then, we'll do it your way. :P
[01:50] <flashram> Ben64:
[01:50] <Schilling> I'm not.
[01:50] <flashram> Ben64: got that new number for paste.ubuntu ?
[01:50] <Schilling> Just figured I would have had this done HOURS ago.
[01:50] <daftykins> Schilling: what's been going on in the last few hours O_O
[01:51] <Schilling> If the install process is throwing me off this bad I can't imagine trying to use it...
[01:51] <flashram> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9607949
[01:51] <Schilling> I have run into every possible problem, basically.
[01:51] <flashram> me to
[01:51] <flashram> look at my paste
[01:51] <flashram> u'll see
[01:51] <Ben64> flashram: ok thats 1/3 of what i asked for
[01:52] <flashram> xorg.conf doesnt exist
[01:52] <Ben64> 2/3
[01:52] <flashram> the other is in std
[01:53] <daftykins> flashram: that's normal.
[01:54] <flashram> &>hmm &> doesnt work with pastebinit
[01:55] <daftykins> what are you trying to do?
[01:55] <daftykins> "command | pastebinit" simple.
[01:55] <bazhang> use |
[01:55] <flashram> pastebinit lshw cmd
[01:55] <flashram> i did with sudo
[01:55] <Ben64> did i say to use sudo ever?
[01:55] <flashram> lshw stuff | pastebinit
[01:56] <flashram> it asked for sudo
[01:56] <daftykins> it doesn't need it
[01:56] <bazhang> lshw does indeed ask for one
[01:56] <bazhang> but no 'stuff' after it

[02:03] <Diarrhea> the room began to think
[02:03] <Quixx> ok, I've gotten close
[02:03] <Ben64> Diarrhea: we could have guessed, since most of your responses are "help", give details or go away
[02:03] <Quixx> I need to find out exactly what output settings I need in xrandr
[02:03] <Diarrhea> I said that my unity launcher is in the middle of my screen
[02:03] <flashram> Ben64: got that number pf pastebinit above ?

[02:04] <kazin> do someone know how to boot a mac and choose ubuntu? i've tried alt option but it shows only macbook hd
[02:05] <daftykins> kazin: your boot media isn't made correctly, then
[02:05] <daftykins> !mac | kazin
[02:05] <kazin> thanks
[02:06] <shadowe989> Thank you, I was going to tell him to use tweak tool --reset-unity but after his spam I figured he was a troll.
[02:06] <daftykins> far better to test guest sessions prior to messing around
[02:07] <Jordan_U> kazin: Did you try to boot Ubuntu from a DVD or from a USB drive?
[02:07] <kazin> i installed it from a usb
[02:07] <kazin> in a empty partition
[02:07] <flashram> :(
[02:08] <kazin> after that macbook just ignores that there is another OS in the HDD
[02:08] <kazin> i'm reading the link posted here a few seconds ago
[02:08] <Jordan_U> kazin: Please boot from an Ubuntu LiveUSB, run boot info script, and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces.
[02:08] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | kazin
[02:09] <flashram> so clueless at how and why i should recompile my kernel for radeon lol
[02:09] <daftykins> flashram: when you have an nvidia card? _STOP_ you don't seem to have a clue what's going on
[02:09] <flashram> i have ati aradion vga dvi and hdmi
[02:10] <daftykins> the xorg log you pasted earlier 100% disagrees with that claim
[02:10] <flashram> pre 2000
[02:10] <flashram> it was 1999 i guess when i got that card
[02:10] <daftykins> what? we don't need to know your life history of hardware
[02:10] <Ben64> flashram: no... you have a GeForce 7650 GS
[02:11] <daftykins> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9607949/ <--- nouveau.
[02:11] <flashram> okey :)
[02:11] <daftykins> anywho time for me to call it a night since the crazies are in
[02:11] <Schilling> dafty...
[02:11] <daftykins> mmm?
[02:11] <Schilling> Success on my end. Thanks!
[02:11] <flashram> gn8 daftykins
[02:12] <flashram> so whats up with all the irq and xorg and all ?
[02:12] <daftykins> Schilling: \o/ no problem.
[02:14] <flashram> Ben64: any more clues ?N
[02:14] <Ben64> flashram: you need the nvidia 304 driver to use that card
[02:14] <flashram> where and how ?
[02:14] <flashram> i have no x
[02:14] <Ben64> yes, thats why you need the driver -.-
[02:15] <flashram> :)
[02:16] <flashram> its ther an apt cmd to get it ?
[02:17] <flashram> every line in irssi is followed by ten the same lines about irq
[02:20] <mjayk> afternoon
[02:20] <flashram> ben64 how do i get a driver via apt or what do i install in apt to get the driver N?
[02:21] <flashram> Ben64: more clues about gettin that driver o_0 ?.?
[02:21] <freddd> 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] <daftykins> that's DNS, not apache
[02:22] <flashram> modrewrite htacces ?
[02:23] <Schilling> That's a modrewrite issue, yeah.
[02:23] <flashram> can i use nameservers from a domain i bought to point my pc as being the domain ?N
[02:23] <Schilling> In one of the .conf files.
[02:23] <freddd> I'll post the config in pastebin in a moment
[02:23] <Schilling> ok.
[02:24] <Schilling> Usually changing rewrite allow from 'deny, allow' to 'allow, deny' works.
[02:24] <nahtnam> 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] <flashram> Ben64: so how does one get the 304 driver ?
[02:26] <freddd> ok, here is the pastebin http://pastebin.com/z0pJ5vRv
[02:26] <nahtnam> Jk, got it working
[02:27] <flashram> build-essentials ?
[02:28] <Schilling> freddd, I don't think that's the right .conf file. Is that off your localhost?
[02:28] <bazhang> use the package manager, search for it flashram
[02:29] <flashram> what exactly do i search except  ?~
[02:29] <flashram> except 304 what more to know ?
[02:29] <flashram> nvidia and that it ?
[02:29] <bazhang> nvidia, find the 304
[02:29] <flashram> got no x
[02:30] <bazhang> install the drivers in safe mode
[02:30] <freddd> Schilling: This is the 000-default in the sites-enabled directory. Which .conf do you need? I don't have a .htacces
[02:30] <phunyguy> apt-cache search nvidia
[02:30] <phunyguy> or just tab-complete apt-get install nvidia
[02:32] <Schilling> freddd: httptd.conf
[02:32] <Schilling> .htaccess file won't do you any good if you still don't have permission to execute what's in the file.
[02:33] <flashram> okey  installing~
[02:33] <flashram> 304
[02:35] <Schilling> Can anyone advise as to whether I should encrypt my new ubuntu installation?
[02:37] <Ace2race> hey... i want to run a program but nothing shows up..anyone willing to help me out here
[02:38] <Chuck_Norris> 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] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: run the program with the terminal
[02:38] <freddd> Schilling: I don't think I have that file anywhere.
[02:39] <Corey84> what version of cryptsetup is packaged in 14.04
[02:39] <Ace2race> its a file... whats the command it i want to run it with java 7
[02:40] <freddd> I an running 14.04 on a VPS by the way
[02:40] <Chuck_Norris> Corey84: aptitude show cryptsetup | grep Version
[02:40] <Corey84> Chuck_Norris,  not on ubuntu atm hence the ?
[02:40] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: is it a .jar ?
[02:41] <Ace2race> yeah... i set it to exicutable
[02:41] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: java -jar file.jar
[02:41] <rww> !info cryptsetup trusty | Corey84
[02:41] <Schilling> Freddd: is this on a LAMP stack?
[02:41] <Corey84> ty
[02:42] <rww> so 1.6.1
[02:42] <Schilling> I've dealt with this on WAMP, but not with Ubuntu.
[02:42] <Ace2race> ok
[02:43] <flashram> okey x
[02:43] <flashram> works
[02:44] <flashram> :)
[02:44] <freddd> Schilling: Apache was downloaded by itself from the repo if that's what you mean.
[02:44] <freddd> ok
[02:44] <Ace2race> nope but i do get this ..... no main manifest attribute, in /home/ace2race/Desktop/ld22.jar
[02:44] <Ace2race> what dose it mean
[02:48] <Schilling> freddd: ok. so, you're basically trying to redirect, correct?
[02:49] <Ace2race> is my file corrupt?
[02:50] <freddd> Schilling: I am able to redirect the non www url to the www url but the page won't load.
[02:50] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: i google it and yes sort of, google: "no main manifest attribute"
[02:51] <flashdeux> hi Ben64 it works now X :)
[02:51] <Ace2race> so how do i fix it... or what do i do... i realy want to play minicraft
[02:51] <flashdeux> how do i get that slick ubuntu ontop of this one now ?
[02:51] <flashdeux> the purple one ?
[02:52] <Schilling> freddd: I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* you'll need to make an .htaccess file to make that happen.
[02:52] <Chuck_Norris> 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] <freddd> Schilling: OK. I'll do that.
[02:53] <flashdeux> why is amazon on my desktop ?
[02:53] <Ace2race> its not minecraft.. although good game i do have it... its minicraft
[02:53] <Schilling> 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] <Schilling> or, site root folder, rather.
[02:53] <thorie> flashdeux: free advertising?
[02:53] <flashdeux> lol
[02:53] <kostkon> flashdeux, ubuntu web app
[02:54] <flashdeux> what can ubuntu web app do ?
[02:54] <flashdeux> can i run ubuntu on the fire kindle ?
[02:55] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: what is your ubuntu version ?
[02:55] <flashdeux> not very responsive app tho
[02:55] <kostkon> flashdeux, what's your problem exactly
[02:55] <flashdeux> not really
[02:55] <flashdeux> solved :)
[02:55] <kostkon> flashdeux, oops i meant Ace2race
[02:56] <Ace2race> 14.04  i think
[02:56]  * Chuck_Norris remember his days in minecraft  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9608218/
[02:56] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race:  lsb_release -d
[02:56] <kostkon> Ace2race, what's that ld22.jar?
[02:56] <Ace2race> http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-22/?action=preview&uid=398 this is the game that wont play for me
[02:57] <Ace2race> Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS is my version
[02:57] <kostkon> Ace2race, lol i misread it as minecraft
[02:57] <Ace2race> its ok
[02:58] <Ace2race> it almost tricks me too
[02:58] <kostkon> Ace2race, oh made by notch. ok
[02:58] <Ace2race> yeah .... can you get it to run... i cant
[02:59] <kostkon> Ace2race, did you pastebin the output of java -jar ld22.jar
[02:59] <Ace2race> its not much... i just pasted it here
[03:00] <Ace2race>  no main manifest attribute, in /home/ace2race/Desktop/ld22.jar
[03:02] <kostkon> Ace2race, make the jar file executable and try again. You never know. right click on it, then properties, then permissions
[03:02] <iLoveJava> 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] <flashdeux> does fgears not play nice ?
[03:03] <iLoveJava> fglrxgears?
[03:03] <iLoveJava> they're running nice.
[03:03] <flashdeux> :)
[03:03] <flashdeux> whats fglrx ?
[03:03] <iLoveJava> but some gaming or heavy work, a null pointer or something is thrown
[03:03] <flashdeux> throw catch
[03:03] <flashdeux> fork
[03:04] <iLoveJava> you're funny ;)
[03:04] <iLoveJava> so how to downgrade kernel?
[03:04] <Ace2race> i cheaked it wont work
[03:04] <flashdeux> recompile kernel with needed mods in the config i guess
[03:04] <flashdeux> dont know exatcly tho
[03:05] <flashdeux> long time ago
[03:05] <iLoveJava> not via apt-get or synaptic?
[03:05] <bubbasaures> iLoveJava, Kernels come in sets, you would just install the one you want, not downgrading, and not really supported here technically.
[03:05] <flashdeux> via apt-get install build-essentials and the headers and sources for the kenrel u need
[03:05] <flashdeux> then config the new kernel
[03:05] <flashdeux> then compile
[03:05] <flashdeux> then reboot ?
[03:06] <iLoveJava> flashdeux, that's a lot of process to get lost for a non C++ programmer
[03:06] <flashdeux> bubbasaures: he wants lts kernel
[03:06] <iLoveJava> :(
[03:06] <flashdeux> not true
[03:06] <flashdeux> there isnt a second of programming involved
[03:06] <flashdeux> just setting a config and compile it
[03:07] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: did you tried runing the game in firefox ?
[03:07] <Ace2race> yep... i need a plugin i cant find
[03:07] <iLoveJava> 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] <teward> Ace2race: have you actually looked to see what the plugin is?  Even with a google search?
[03:08] <bubbasaures> iLoveJava, Downgrading is a confusing word here, you just want a kernel you think will work so install it.
[03:08] <Ace2race> tried but i didnt see anything... by the way dose firefox have java installed on it
[03:08] <freddd> Schilling: It's not working with an .htaccess in the root folder. Thank you for helping me though.
[03:08] <iLoveJava> 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] <iLoveJava> bubbasaures, yes
[03:09] <Schilling> freddd: you sure you have the right settings?
[03:09] <iLoveJava> bubbasaures, is there any way to install it from apt-get or synaptic
[03:09] <flashdeux> iLoveJava: http://askubuntu.com/questions/163298/whats-a-simple-way-to-recompile-the-kernel
[03:10] <freddd> Schilling: Yes. I used the information from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/apache-redirect-domaincom-to-wwwdomaincom/
[03:10] <bubbasaures> 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] <flashdeux> 3.13.0-43-generic
[03:10] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: what's happend when you click in "install this plugin" on firefox ?    not by default:   http://i.imgur.com/313HcRw.png
[03:10] <flashdeux> 14.04
[03:10] <iLoveJava> flashdeux, any other ways than compiling from source?
[03:11] <flashdeux> nope
[03:11] <Ace2race> ill try to install again wait a moment
[03:11] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: ok
[03:11] <iLoveJava> then let me check out the hard way :)
[03:11] <Schilling> freddd: give me 3 minutes to take a look. I deal with redirects a lot with wordpress sites.
[03:11] <flashdeux> not for what ur asking
[03:11] <iLoveJava> thanks flashdeux and bubbasaures
[03:11] <flashdeux> so nop unless u recompile kbin kmode
[03:12] <flashdeux> :)
[03:12] <Ace2race> no suitable plugins were found
[03:12] <Ace2race> i need java i think
[03:12] <iLoveJava> so you say it's easy flasdeux, let me find out myself :)
[03:12] <flashdeux> not that easy tho ;)
[03:12] <Chuck_Norris> Ace2race: so you can't see the windows that i have ?
[03:12] <flashdeux> u can clone menuconfig
[03:12] <flashdeux> thsts the config part
[03:13] <Schilling> freddd: that one won't work. it's waaaay old.
[03:14] <iLoveJava> flashdeux, linux-image-3.13* is not in my repos. only ones with version 3.16
[03:14] <j8u9009> hey, what is the most similar app on Ubuntu to Foobar2000 music player on windows?
[03:15] <Ace2race> nope dont see that... mine dosent show the java for it
[03:16] <ngnugnu_> j8u9009: if you don't mind terminal based ones you could try ncmpcpp
[03:16] <flashdeux> iLoveJava: then change ur apt-get package manager sources.list to have lts sources
[03:16] <Ace2race> so how do i get java
[03:16] <Chuck_Norris> 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] <flashdeux> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9608277/

[03:21] <teward> !offtopic | applebloom
[03:22] <applebloom> that's where you're wrong bubbasaures
[03:22] <applebloom> that's where you're wrong lol

[03:22] <applebloom> my mind is far larger than yours
[03:22] <applebloom> lol
[03:22] <teward> guys stop,
[03:22] <teward> seriously.
[03:22] <applebloom> okay, I was just pointing out the truth.
[03:22] <iLoveJava> thanks flashdeux, I have somehow installed the 14.50 version of FGLRX. Let me restart and see. If it doesnot work, I will need to change kernel
[03:22] <bubbasaures> ;)
[03:22] <OerHeks> !ot | applebloom
[03:22] <applebloom> I will go back to idling
[03:22] <squinty> just kick the rascal
[03:22] <teward> applebloom: truth is irrelevant - take it to the ot channel, and stop sniping at each other
[03:22] <applebloom> for what?
[03:23] <applebloom> I've done nothing wrong by giving out knowledge which some may have previously lacked
[03:23] <Bashing-om> iLoveJava: Install kernelsL get it : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ; directions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226166 toward the end of the thread. can be done easy .

[03:24] <EriC^^> applebloom: if ubuntu dies crunchbang dies
[03:24] <EriC^^> applebloom: think about that for a sec ;)
[03:24] <applebloom> EriC^^, what? that doesn't even make sense
[03:24] <EriC^^> it's based on ubuntu isn't it?
[03:24] <applebloom> it's based on debian
[03:24] <applebloom> wow
[03:24] <applebloom> the lack of education in here... it's perturbing :|
[03:25] <teward> seriously, stop.
[03:25] <applebloom> you guys have been brainwashed by canonical
[03:25] <kostkon> don't feed the trolls please
[03:25] <applebloom> lol i'm not a troll
[03:25] <kostkon> !ops
[03:25] <applebloom> trolls use Ubuntu

[03:26] <rww> teward: I was checking if it was the same idiot as a while ago
[03:26] <teward> called it.
[03:26] <teward> anyways, is there a way in network manager to assign wireless network preference?
[03:27] <teward> i.e. favor certain networks over others in certain conditions
[03:29] <Ace2race> thanks... and hope you have a merry xmas :)
[03:30] <Schilling> Anyone know what to do when Ubuntu boots to a blank screen with just the mouse?
[03:31] <Schilling> Install just finished.
[03:31] <bubbasaures> !nomodeset | Schilling good place to start
[03:31] <bubbasaures> Schilling,
[03:32] <squinty> 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] <bubbasaures> Schilling, Say here if your dual booting with a uefi set up and your graphic info if you can.
[03:33] <Schilling> Not dual booting. Just did a full install replacing Vista.
[03:33] <Schilling> Figures I'd have a nvidia...
[03:34] <bubbasaures> Schilling, Ah sounds msdos, mentioned uefi as you can get a black screen in it to.
[03:35] <bubbasaures> 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] <Schilling> ok
[03:37] <TowerPower> 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] <Schilling> tapping the shift key on reboot isn't doing anything. just goes to logon screen,...
[03:38] <squinty> need to hold it
[03:38] <Schilling> alright, problem solved?
[03:39] <bubbasaures> Schilling, power off. than on. than tap the shift key repeatedly
[03:39] <Schilling> Just for sh*ts and giggles I entered my pw and boom: desktop.
[03:39] <Schilling> Weird?
[03:40] <bubbasaures> update and upgrade and check the additional drivers tab in software & updates for any nvidia
[03:40] <Schilling> ok.
[03:41] <bubbasaures> that's all I know on nvidia, hope that does it. ;)
[03:42] <Schilling> strange that it would fail the first time, then work, eh?
[03:42] <Sachiru> Anyone here using thunderbird? I'm trying to look for a way to mass delete all read receipts in my inbox.
[03:43] <freddd> gotta go, happy hollidays
[03:43] <Schilling> bubba, the 'additional drivers' gave me a few options...
[03:43] <Schilling> say's it's using X.Org?
[03:43] <squinty> Sachiru:  View > sort by > read
[03:44] <bender|> hmm, Windows (Idle): Memory: 25%, Ubuntu (Idle): Memory : 15%
[03:44] <bender|> wow that's cool.
[03:44] <Schilling> Do I have to change anything?
[03:45] <Sachiru> squinty, thanks, but I was referring to the emails that are in the format "Your message was read by XXXX on YYYY"
[03:45] <squinty> Sachiru: irc.mozilla.org #thunderbird
[03:46] <Sachiru> Thanks, squinty
[03:46] <squinty> yw
[03:46] <shiggitay> no one?
[03:46] <shiggitay> >_>
[03:47] <Schilling> 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] <squinty> Schilling:  you will be using the open source nouveau driver right now.  you could try installing the 331 (latest)
[03:50] <squinty> 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] <squinty> Schilling:  once you have the driver installed, look for nvidia X server settings in your menu.  you can tweak your video there
[03:51] <squinty> if need that is
[03:51] <squinty> needed
[03:52] <Schilling> might be...
[03:52] <Schilling> it's doing some strange things on the screen as I navigate around..
[03:53] <Schilling> how would I install the driver from ubuntu repo?
[03:53] <squinty> Schilling:  from Additional Drivers
[03:55] <Schilling> ok.
[03:56] <Schilling> just found a way to do it from terminal as well.
[03:56] <squinty> 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] <Schilling> Just did this one: $ sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[03:57] <Schilling> And it recommended a new driver to me...
[03:58] <Schilling> Hope that does it. :P
[03:58] <squinty> Schilling:  fwiw,  https://code.google.com/p/inxi/    it's a python system script which I find handie than regular methods
[03:59] <squinty> Schilling:  usually good if recommended.... never had a problem personally with nvidia cards  :)
[04:00] <Schilling> I never have either. Thanks for that link, btw. Reading through it now. Hoping this issue gets cleared up with the new driver. My screen is wonky as all hell.
[04:01] <dawgyg> Привет всем!
[04:01] <squinty> !ru
[04:06] <Schilling> HA! installed the new driver and the screen went black again...
[04:09] <imastupidguest> I'm having a challenge installing umlet (from source zip file). I have it showing up in the dash and can launch from there but don't know how to configure command line command for a java application like this. This is what I have (working) so far : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9608505/
[04:09] <imastupidguest> Can anyone help me with this last part?
[04:12] <Guest31053> hello, i need to delete a broken windows partition, what is the best way to do this?
[04:12] <imastupidguest> I fig it out ... thx
[04:14] <Bashing-om> !gpaeted | Guest31053
[04:14] <Bashing-om> !gparted | Guest31053
[04:15] <Guest31053> Bashing-om, I have found gparted, however i'm unsure how to safely use it
[04:15] <hjarntvatt> Guest31053: I may be able to help with your partition issue
[04:15] <Bashing-om> Guest31053: What is your end goal when this Windows partition is reformatted ? Then we can discuss means.
[04:16] <Guest31053> Bashing-om, i haven't decided yet; hjarntvatt how so?
[04:17] <hjarntvatt> Gparted will show you all your partitions and allows you to manipulate them. Did you already install and execute gparted?
[04:18] <hjarntvatt> You need to determine how many partitions exist on that drive
[04:19] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, yes i have gparted open. there are 6 partitions, but one is a split one, so 4 not counting the split
[04:21] <hjarntvatt> Do you want to delete the windows partition and then extend that partition so that another partition becomes larger?
[04:21] <Tr0gd0r> 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] <Tr0gd0r> http://pastebin.com/XjdB8yHR
[04:22] <hjarntvatt> Guest31063: can you post a screenshot of what gparted is showing?
[04:22] <Schilling> squinty: that update seemed to work like a charm.
[04:22] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, yep
[04:23] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, http://imgur.com/sUmgI6x
[04:24] <hjarntvatt> Hang on I'm turn on my Linux machine and launch gparted myself
[04:26] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, i will admit that mistakes were made during the inital creation of the windows partition which explains the multiple ntfs partitions
[04:26] <Bashing-om> Tr0gd0r: There is 5% overhead - house keeping - that is not reflected directly in the numbers .
[04:27] <hjarntvatt> How many OS do you want installed in the end? Just your Ubuntu Sda1?
[04:27] <zuzup> 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] <Schilling> try another reboot zuzup.
[04:28] <Schilling> If it comes up, I can tell you what to do, I just did it myself.
[04:28] <zuzup> How do i debug what is going on so that i can search and fix stuff?
[04:28] <zuzup> Cool! Reboot to login?
[04:29] <Guest31053>  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] <Schilling> yeah, reboot and logon if possible. If not, it's a whole different animal.
[04:30] <hjarntvatt> Fresh Ubuntu install? That may be easier
[04:30] <Schilling> Hoping you don't have to do it. I think I got lucky.
[04:30] <zuzup> Ok. Just rebooted. Should be a minute. Alright, I'm here.
[04:31] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, i would, but where's the fun in that?
[04:31] <zuzup> At the login prompt @Schilling
[04:31] <hjarntvatt> 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] <Schilling> try to log in, zuzup.
[04:32] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, sda 2 is labeled system reserved and boot. is it really safe to delete that?
[04:32] <zuzup> I see my wallpaper 4:3 and that's it. @Schilling
[04:32] <zuzup> Also my mouse
[04:32] <Schilling> hmmmm, ok...
[04:32] <zuzup> Probably at a very low resolution
[04:32] <Schilling> gimme a second.
[04:33] <zuzup> Sure
[04:33] <Schilling> 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] <zuzup> Ok
[04:34] <hjarntvatt> 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] <Schilling> from there, someone else might have to help.
[04:34] <zuzup> Ohhhhh
[04:34] <zuzup> Anyone you know who can help? @Schilling
[04:35] <hjarntvatt> Guest#####: the sda2 system reserved is for windows boot manager (to boot windows)
[04:35] <Schilling> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[04:35] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, say i do delete that partition, what happens?
[04:36] <Schilling> start there zuzup
[04:36] <hjarntvatt> Sda3 is your windows install
[04:36] <zuzup> Ok. Checking it out
[04:36] <hjarntvatt> Sda3 = the windows OS
[04:36] <hjarntvatt> If you delete that it corrupts windows from booting
[04:36] <FSK405C> so .. nvidia proprietary drivers on an external drive on a macbook .. just isn’t going to happen.
[04:37] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, gotcha
[04:37] <hjarntvatt> If its already corrupted you got nothing to lose
[04:38] <Guest31053>  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] <hjarntvatt> 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] <hjarntvatt> 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] <hjarntvatt> With a choice of windows/Ubuntu?
[04:42] <Guest31053>  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] <Guest31053> just one OS for the time being
[04:43] <hjarntvatt> I'm going away. You can get at me at my nick AT gmail
[04:43] <hjarntvatt> Hjarntvatt AT gmail
[04:43] <hjarntvatt> I'll get back to you thru the week best I can
[04:43] <themi> hey any hack with  tecnic on evil twin ,dhcp ? karma?
[04:44] <hjarntvatt> If you wanna get it over with, fresh install. Or unmount/delete/extend the NTFS partitions
[04:44] <john_doe_jr> what does sudo -i do?  What is the -i mean?
[04:45] <hjarntvatt> Good luck guest####
[04:45] <themi> -i can be install or interface
[04:45] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, alright then. i'll nuke sda2 and 3. thanks, ill reach you if need be
[04:46] <ngnugnu_> john_doe_jr: Did you check the man page?
[04:46] <hjarntvatt> Sudo -I acquires the root's user environment
[04:46] <john_doe_jr> 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] <somsip> john_doe_jr: sudo will remember that a password has been entered for about...15 mins from memory
[04:47] <hjarntvatt> Sudo -i simulates a root logon
[04:47] <john_doe_jr> 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] <hjarntvatt> Run sudo, then -s, then -i . then run pwd after each sudo -flag
[04:48] <john_doe_jr> hjarntvatt: what does the -s do?
[04:57] <Bonzo> hi
[04:57] <hjarntvatt> Sudo -s runs a shell as root. Try it.
[04:58] <hjarntvatt> Sudo flags: http://askubuntu.com/questions/70534/difference-between-su-sudo-s-sudo-i
[04:58] <john_doe_jr> is is possible to do a sudo visudo from the terminal?
[04:58] <Guest31053>  hjarntvatt, one more thing, what should i do about the ntfs split of sda4?
[04:58] <john_doe_jr> I mean to automate adding yourself to the visudo file
[05:01] <hjarntvatt> 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
[05:02] <hjarntvatt> Once a partition is deleted and there is a "gap" , extend the partition prior to the gap
[05:03] <Guest31053> would it be safe to just remove sda4 as well?
[05:07] <zuzup> @Schilling not yet

[05:08] <cq-aux> hey I got a command here I hope you can proofread it for me?
[05:08] <cq-aux> cd /MusicToMove
[05:08] <cq-aux> find . -print0 | sort -zr | xargs -0 cp --parents

[05:08] <slainr> are someone here from brazil?
[05:09] <cq-aux> I just want do copy folders/files sequencually
[05:10] <cq-aux> slainr: hey
[05:10] <slainr> cq-aux, hey there
[05:11] <slainr> cq-aux, I've a question about LPI certification in Brazil
[05:12] <cq-aux> oh yeah? what's that?
[05:12] <slainr> linux certification
[05:12] <slainr> https://www.lpi.org/linux-certifications
[05:12] <jay1> Hey folks
[05:12] <cq-aux> hey jay1
[05:12] <zuzup> @Schilling, sorry my tablet rebooted
[05:13] <jay1> hey coax
[05:13] <zuzup> Can you resend the link which you were talking about?
[05:14] <cq-aux> slainr: yeah you buy the book study and practice and then pay for and sit the exams somewhere close by
[05:14] <Guest31053> 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] <slainr> cq-aux, I only have to pay the exams? I don't want to spend money with meaningless courses
[05:15] <slainr> cq-aux, I've using linux about 1 year at my pc
[05:17] <cq-aux> you can download the book and then study and then yeah pay4exams when you're ready
[05:18] <cq-aux> you can buy the book buy lol
[05:19] <slainr> cq-aux, cool, I'm reading Linux From Scratch
[05:19] <cq-aux> oh you're making your own? that's a great start
[05:20] <slainr> cq-aux, just doing the lessons of the book
[05:20] <cq-aux> oh, well I'll just go and try these commands a couple of different ways and see what workd
[05:20] <cq-aux> *works*
[05:20] <slainr> cq-aux, which distro do u use?
[05:21] <cq-aux> yeah you'll learn about the whole bootstrap and init. stuff
[05:21] <cq-aux> I'm using xubuntu trusty
[05:21] <slainr> cool
[05:21] <slainr> I'm using ubuntu mate
[05:21] <slainr> and has arch installed here too
[05:22] <cq-aux> oh which are you using for your linux from scratch?
[05:23] <Finetundra> 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] <slainr> Finetundra, I think it's ok to delete the partition
[05:26] <jay1> coax: stop it
[05:26] <Bashing-om> Finetundra: Before the container "extended" can be removed, the contents 'swap" must first be removed .
[05:26] <jay1> :)
[05:29] <Finetundra> Bashing-om, what do you mean?
[05:35] <Gazby> 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] <Bashing-om> 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] <Bashing-om> 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] <Bashing-om> someone*
[05:38] <Gazby> it's a brand new box from dimevps
[05:38] <Gazby> vpsdime*
[05:39] <Gazby> it's otherwise fully functional, just missing things that I expect to find on a box under normal circumstances
[05:40] <Bashing-om> Gazby: Canot say as I have no experince with "vpsdime" , maybe that provider leaned it out ??
[05:41] <Gazby> yep, I guess i'll submit a ticket. cheers
[05:55] <plasmasnake> 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] <plasmasnake> from the desktop i think?
[06:03] <squinty> 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] <squinty> Start the app via the newly made link   that is......
[06:07] <plasmasnake> 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] <Waheedi> hey there, i have libxml2 already installed on my machine
[06:14] <Waheedi> i reinstalled it using source
[06:14] <Waheedi> as there was a patch that I needed to apply
[06:14] <Waheedi> after make and make install
[06:14] <cfhowlett> Waheedi, stop
[06:14] <cfhowlett> using
 key
[06:14] <Waheedi> lol thanks for the recommendation cfhowlett
[06:14] <squinty> 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] <Waheedi> i still can't get the new library reflected here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so
[06:16] <Waheedi> 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] <Waheedi> my newly installed lib is under /usr/lib/libxml2.so
[06:17] <Waheedi> should i just symlink the new one with the old one?
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> !info libxml2
[06:19] <Waheedi> i know all that info
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: wich ubuntu version do you have?
[06:21] <Waheedi> lotuspsychje Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS
[06:21] <Waheedi> my question is clear should i symlink the new .so file and replace it with the old one?
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: can you tell us whats your endgoal exactly
[06:22] <Waheedi> i have patched libxml2 as there was a problem with parser options
[06:22] <Waheedi> now some of my lua/c++ applications are using libxml2 already
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: cant you just get an updated version of libxml2 ?
[06:23] <Waheedi> So i want my apps to work with the patched libxml2 library. simple
[06:24] <Waheedi> lotuspsychje: i don't want to update my libxml2 version
[06:24] <Waheedi> its only missing this patch
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: maybe here? https://code.google.com/p/daisy-pipeline/issues/detail?id=326
[06:27] <Waheedi> is that safe? lotuspsychje
[06:27] <Waheedi> thats my concern :)
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: didnt test myself, but looks like your issue
[06:28] <Waheedi> actually it is not
[06:28] <Waheedi> anyway thanks for the help lotuspsychje
[06:31] <Waheedi> you know what
[06:31] <Waheedi> this bitch is working now
[06:31] <Waheedi> :)
[06:31] <Waheedi> i love libxml2 :)
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> Waheedi: how did you fix now?
[06:33] <Waheedi> basically what i fixed was libxml2  HTML_PARSE_NOIMPLIED option was not considered in 2.7.8 version
[06:33] <Waheedi> which is the default version for my ubuntu version
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !yay | Waheedi
[06:34] <Waheedi> i patched a fix for it and installed in /usr/lib and then symlinked the new .so file with the old ones
[06:34] <Waheedi> thanks lotuspsychje
[06:35] <we6jbo> Is there another way that I can download Ubuntu?
[06:35] <we6jbo> The download keeps crashing
[06:35] <squinty> use a torrent link
[06:36] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, always torrent.
[06:36] <we6jbo> Well how do I do that?
[06:37] <we6jbo> I'm running linux at the moment
[06:37] <cfhowlett> !torrent | we6jbo
[06:37] <we6jbo> Is there an easy way to do that?
[06:37] <we6jbo> Is there a script or something?
[06:37] <squinty> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads  and your fave torrent proggie
[06:37] <we6jbo> Can you recomend me one or give me a link to one that's easy?
[06:37] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, ???? read / link to ubuntu torrent / start torrent manager / download
[06:38] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, you already have one in ubuntu - transmission I believe
[06:38] <we6jbo> Its trisquel
[06:38] <we6jbo> Ok it's running. Now what?
[06:39] <squinty> we6jbo:  with the torrent download you will have resume (in case of the link going down) and error checking automatically    way better than using http  imho
[06:39] <we6jbo> I see open. A play button a pause button a red dash thing and properties
[06:39] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, select the correct .iso.torrent
[06:39] <cfhowlett> http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04.1/
[06:40] <we6jbo> Is there something I click?
[06:40] <we6jbo> Open Open URI New
[06:40] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, less clicking more reading.  find the .torrent for the iso you want
[06:40] <squinty> we6jbo:  just go to the link i posted above for alternative downloads and click on the version you want.  your torrent program will start automatically
[06:41] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, OR download the .torrent and open it with your torrent manager
[06:41] <we6jbo> I want Ubuntu 12. something LTE
[06:41] <squinty> we6jbo:  use your web browser to access the link i posted
[06:41] <we6jbo> Or 14? I don't know what I clicked
[06:41] <lotuspsychje> we6jbo: download 14.04.1 like cfhowlett suggests
[06:42] <we6jbo> I don't know how to do this
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> we6jbo: download the torrentfile to your computer
[06:42] <we6jbo> Can you tell me. Do I click file open or what?
[06:42] <cfhowlett> we6jbo, read the page.  find .torrent.  download .torrent.  open with torrent manager
[06:42] <lotuspsychje> we6jbo: save as
[06:42] <we6jbo> I got the program up and running. Transmission
[06:43] <we6jbo> Transmission-QT if that matters
[06:43] <lotuspsychje> we6jbo: once you saved your torrent, open with transmission
[06:43] <we6jbo> Open torrent from URL. Is there a URL?
[06:43] <squinty> we6jbo:  web browser > <squinty> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads   click on torrent    transmission should automatically open and start downloading (or ask if you want to download)
[06:44] <squinty> not sure why you guys are making it harder than it is
[06:44] <lotuspsychje> lol
[06:44] <we6jbo> Alternative downloads. Now what?
[06:44] <abdel> hello guys, please I can't update my ubuntu 14.04 software.....it keeps popping that i should do a partial upgrade because it couldnt update all. please help
[06:44] <squinty> read what i typed
[06:44] <cfhowlett> squinty, when someone says "don't know what I clicked" I get nervous
[06:45] <abdel> sorry partial update
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> :p
[06:45] <we6jbo> Transmission didn't automatically open and start the download
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> thats why i said, save the torrent..
[06:45] <squinty> i give up
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> then open it in transmission

[07:20] <lotuspsychje> :p
[07:21] <Scruffy_FL> Hello!
[07:22] <Scruffy_FL> I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on an eMachine T6414.
[07:22] <Scruffy_FL> I have d/led the iso onto a USB drive.
[07:22] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: Ok. What issues are you having?
[07:22] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, ??? dl'd onto a usb?  nope ...
[07:23] <Scruffy_FL> Pardon.
[07:23] <Scruffy_FL> I downloaded the ISO
[07:23] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, and then ... ?
[07:23] <Scruffy_FL> and then placed it onto the USB drive.
[07:23] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, "place it" ... HOW?
[07:23] <Scruffy_FL> and then used the utility...
[07:23] <St1gma> 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] <Scruffy_FL> I made it bootable.
[07:24] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: What OS are you using to create the install CD?
[07:24] <Scruffy_FL> Mac OS 10.7
[07:24] <Scruffy_FL> I used that to d/l the ISO
[07:24] <Scruffy_FL> I copied the ISO onto an 8 GB flash drive.
[07:24] <plasmasnake> 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] <Scruffy_FL> I then used Windows XP to make the USB drive bootable
[07:25] <plasmasnake> 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] <cfhowlett> !details | Scruffy_FL,
[07:25] <plasmasnake> Scruffy_FL: here you go http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[07:25] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: You can use OSX to make the USB bootable. No need of Windows.
[07:26] <plasmasnake> if you follow those steps, it will do the job
[07:26] <St1gma> Ah! plasmasnake beat me to it
[07:26] <Scruffy_FL> Ah, well, I used the utility-- trying to find the window with it that I used.
[07:26] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: If you really want to use windows then I would recommend you using Unetbootin or LiLi.
[07:26] <Scruffy_FL> Anyway, the error I get is "boot error"
[07:26] <cfhowlett> "the utility"   WHAT utility?!
[07:26] <Scruffy_FL> I just tried Unetbootin.
[07:26] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: Yeah what utility did you use?
[07:26] <Scruffy_FL> (second utility)
[07:27]  * cfhowlett gives up
[07:27] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: So after doing so, what problems did you run into/
[07:27] <Scruffy_FL> I get a "boot error"
[07:27] <plasmasnake> cfhowlett: you probably should, before you get a stroke ;)
[07:27] <Scruffy_FL> My BIOS sees the drive.
[07:27] <Scruffy_FL> Sorry cfhowlett.
[07:28] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: I need more info. Sounds like you haven't got the image on that drive correctly…
[07:28] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, no worries.  you'll get there.  lots of smart people in this chanel
[07:28] <Scruffy_FL> One moment, while I look to see the exact utilit I used.
[07:28] <St1gma> 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] <Scruffy_FL> I believe the problem is that my BIOS won't let me boot from USB.
[07:29] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, make a boot DVD instead
[07:29] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: Not much we can do about that here....
[07:29] <plasmasnake> 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] <Scruffy_FL> 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] <Scruffy_FL> 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] <plasmasnake> Scruffy_FL: before moving to the BIOS, better to make sure that you're setting up your USB drive properly
[07:30] <plasmasnake> check the screenshot that i just shared on dropbox
[07:30] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, CD?  image is too big for CD
[07:30] <St1gma> yeah you won't be able to do a CD
[07:30] <Scruffy_FL> I know.  It's 1.03 GB
[07:31] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, so ... NO
[07:31] <jerrcs> couldn't he grab some netinstall CD ISOs instead?
[07:31] <Scruffy_FL> 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] <cfhowlett> !mini | Scruffy_FL
[07:31] <plasmasnake> Scruffy_FL: did you look at my screenshot?
[07:31] <St1gma> 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] <jerrcs> or you could just buy a set of DVDs for cheap somewhere
[07:32] <jerrcs> good investment
[07:32] <Scruffy_FL> one sec-- FF and Safari both crashed
[07:32] <jerrcs> oh boy
[07:32] <St1gma> jerrcs: … he's trying to install this now, not in a week when the CDs arrive :p
[07:33] <jerrcs> St1gma: I said buy a set of DVDs, as in.. _BLANK_ DVDs.
[07:33] <jerrcs> ;)
[07:33] <St1gma> kekeke
[07:33] <St1gma> You have won this battle my friend!
[07:33] <jerrcs> i should have been more specific honestly
[07:33] <Scruffy_FL> plasmasnake, my USB drive does look like the graphic
[07:34] <Scruffy_FL> there are additional files that were on there before.
[07:34] <St1gma> copy what you need from the USB
[07:34] <St1gma> format it
[07:34] <Scruffy_FL> I also got the minimal CD and booted from that.
[07:34] <St1gma> then use unetbootin or use the osx instructions
[07:34] <Scruffy_FL> It dies when it tried to configure DHCP
[07:34] <Scruffy_FL> and then can't get to the ubuntu server.  I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the NIC.
[07:34] <jerrcs> Wired, or wireless?
[07:35] <plasmasnake> 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] <Scruffy_FL> wired
[07:35] <St1gma> Scruffy_FL: what does "it died when trying to do DHCP" mean?
[07:35] <jerrcs> All right. So, it said it couldn't detect an IP or something to that extent, yes?
[07:35] <Scruffy_FL> One moment while I booth from the minimal CD.
[07:36] <jerrcs> Have you tried just setting the IP settings manually?
[07:36] <Scruffy_FL> I did not.
[07:36] <St1gma> Wait… let's see what he gets now.
[07:37] <jerrcs> 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] <Scruffy_FL> (And purchasing black DVDs at this hour is not an option)
[07:37] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, nothing wrong with black DVD
[07:37] <plasmasnake> what about white ones? (kidding)
[07:38] <St1gma> I have never had an issue with DHCP, even in complex networks.
[07:38] <Scruffy_FL> oops
[07:38] <Scruffy_FL> sausage fingers
[07:38] <Scruffy_FL> And, there may be something wrong with the NIC.  Windows doesn't recognize that it has an ethernet cable plugged in.
[07:38] <jerrcs> 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] <Scruffy_FL> I turned off Wifi on my macbook and plugged in the cable and it works fine
[07:39] <Scruffy_FL> Ok.
[07:39] <Scruffy_FL> "Network autoconfiguration failed"
[07:39] <jerrcs> You might be able to get the wireless working instead?
[07:39] <plasmasnake> Scruffy_FL: wifi not an option?
[07:39] <St1gma> oh spanning tree
[07:39] <St1gma> yeah that'll do it
[07:40] <Scruffy_FL> I believe we have a linksys wireless USB dongle.
[07:40] <jerrcs> hah yeah. it destroyed my PXE lab.
[07:40] <Scruffy_FL> But, I would think there would be driver issues?
[07:40] <jerrcs> Might be, might not be. Give it a shot.
[07:40] <jerrcs> The newer installers have come a long way.
[07:40] <St1gma> 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] <St1gma> Without driver there would be no interface
[07:41] <St1gma> So it is detecting your NIC… but DHCP is not working
[07:41] <St1gma> look at your mac and see what IP address it gets
[07:41] <cfhowlett> 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] <St1gma> paste that info in here Scruffy_FL
[07:41] <Scruffy_FL> the IP address?
[07:42] <St1gma> Yes, and subnet
[07:42] <Scruffy_FL> it gets through the link local address
[07:42] <Scruffy_FL> et0
[07:43] <blurkis> 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] <cfhowlett> blurkis, ##chrome #android would know more
[07:44] <St1gma> 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] <thorie> uh-oh... i got this message and my comptuer stopped:  kernel:[48954.806166] Critical temperature reached (103 C), shutting down.
[07:44] <thorie> :(
[07:45] <cfhowlett> thorie, clear / clean your vents
[07:45] <Scruffy_FL> St1gma, yes.  doing that now...
[07:45] <thorie> cfhowlett: good idea
[07:45] <spittingglass> thorie: I see some canned air in your future
[07:45] <St1gma> blurkis: You might want to see about changing your UA (User-Agent) of your browser. That is probably how it knows what OS you are using.
[07:46] <marel> 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] <St1gma> thorie: Use some mineral oil, then dump that sucker in there… LOL
[07:46] <blurkis> Stimrol: seems like a good idé. Asked on #chrome, will await response there aswell.
[07:46] <spittingglass> marel: not really, unless you already have it in a screen/tmux session
[07:47] <marel> If I do ctrl+c on cp command, will I later be able to somehow resume cp command ?
[07:47] <spittingglass> 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] <Schilling> don't suppose anyone has installed sublime text?
[07:48] <St1gma> Schilling: I use Sublime
[07:48] <spittingglass> marel: but you'd still need to keep the ssh session alive
[07:48] <Schilling> All the tutorials are for 12.04 and earlier, so I could use a hand.
[07:48] <St1gma> for ruby programming
[07:49] <Gr4cchus> hey guys i was wondering, can i use dd to make a windows bootable usb drive?
[07:49] <Schilling> ok, soooo, how do I get it to work? it's supposidly installed already...I can't pin it to launcher, can pin a code to launch from terminal...
[07:49] <St1gma> There was nothing to think about it. Untar the sucker "./<bin here>
[07:49] <marel> 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] <Schilling> yeah, something went wrong...
[07:49] <Schilling> I gotta delete it all and start over.
[07:50] <spittingglass> marel: no, it will start all over again from the beginning
[07:50] <St1gma> Schilling: Depends on your window manager I guess. You just have to create the luncher. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[07:50] <marel> oh fuck
[07:50] <cfhowlett> !language | marel,
[07:51] <spittingglass> marel: I'd suggest you ctrl+c it now, start a screen session and then do the cp command again
[07:51] <marel> spittingglass: what do you mean screen session ?
[07:51] <spittingglass> marel: then disconnect the screen session with ctrl+a d
[07:51] <plasmasnake> spittingglass: what if he used rsync instead of cp
[07:51] <nethingbutwindow> Hi guys, I haven't used xen with ubuntu before. I am having issues finding the vm config files
[07:51] <I_AM_EJACULATING> did somebody say CP?!
[07:52] <cfhowlett> I_AM_EJACULATING, family friendly channel.  change your nick
[07:52] <spittingglass> marel: screen is a program that will allow you to run programs while you don't have an active connection. It's persistent
[07:52] <I_AM_EJACULATING> cfhowlett, ok one sec
[07:52] <hell_> hi
[07:52] <Schilling> St1gma: is there a way to install and unpack from terminal?
[07:52] <kostkon> Schilling, sublime 3 offers a deb, it's still in beta though but more up-to-date it seems http://www.sublimetext.com/3
[07:53] <I_AM_NOT_CUMMING> :D better?
[07:53] <cfhowlett> !ops | I_AM_NOT_CUMMING,
[07:53] <marel> spittingglass: will I be able to know when it's done later ?
[07:54] <spittingglass> marel: yes. Do sure apt-get install screen in console. Then man screen to learn how to use it
[07:54] <plasmasnake> i prefer tmux myself
[07:54] <St1gma> Screen is awesome
[07:54] <St1gma> been using it for ages
[07:54] <ubuntuisloved_> marel: http://aperiodic.net/screen/quick_reference
[07:55] <spittingglass> plasmasnake: it would run into the same problem, if he disconnected rsync would get killed as well
[07:55] <St1gma> ctrl+A D to disconnect
[07:55] <plasmasnake> spittingglass: oh no i meant, if he killed his cp mid-way, could he use rsync so that it wouldn't start all over again, and instead copy the left-over stuff
[07:55] <St1gma> then #screen -ls  to find out if you have any screens running
[07:56] <ubuntuisloved_> marel: rsync won't force you to start over it will copy from where you left off.
[07:56] <spittingglass> plasmasnake: need some sort of manager in the background to ensure the process is still running on disconnect
[07:57] <spittingglass> Oh the resume, yeah, rsync would be the way to go with that
[07:57] <plasmasnake> 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] <plasmasnake> and then he could safely disconnect the ssh session
[07:57] <spittingglass> Yeah, that be the best option. rsync in a screen/tmux session
[07:58] <Schilling> St1gma: I can't seem to get it to unpack. Says no such directory even though I'm in the directory with the tar file...
[07:59] <St1gma> Schilling: What command are you using?
[08:00] <Schilling> ./sublime_text
[08:00] <ubuntuisloved_> tar -xvf filename.tar
[08:02] <Schilling> I"m trying to get it to unpack to a specific location (applications/sublime)
[08:03] <ubuntuisloved_> Tar -xvf filename.tar /applications/sublime
[08:04] <ubuntuisloved_> Assuming that's the path you needed.
[08:04] <St1gma> you would need to -C
[08:04] <ubuntuisloved_> Yes -C before path
[08:04] <St1gma> tar -xvf filename.tar -C <path>
[08:04] <St1gma>      -C directory
[08:04] <St1gma>              In c and r mode, this changes the directory before adding the following files.  In x mode, change directories after opening the archive but
[08:04] <St1gma>              before extracting entries from the archive.
[08:05] <Schilling> man...
[08:05] <Schilling> I thought i'd just do an apt-get install sublime
[08:05] <Schilling> and be done with it. :P
[08:06] <Schilling> Now I don't know which way is up...
[08:06] <St1gma> LOL
[08:08] <ubuntuisloved_> What Lang? Sublime is not as full featured as an ide like eclipse. It's more a lightweight editor. Might wanna try that.
[08:09] <Schilling> I do PHP, HTML, JS, Node...
[08:09] <Schilling> Lots of stuff.
[08:09] <Schilling> Been using SLT for a while now.
[08:11] <ubuntuisloved_> Some people love it. I prefer eclipse for everything. But I do many langs with it too. Php Java c++ etc...
[08:14] <Schilling> I'm always open to new ideas.
[08:16] <Gr4cchus> can dd be used to create a windows usb bootable thumb drive?
[08:16] <ubuntuisloved_> I hated it at first years ago but it grows quickly on you. Now I can't live without it.
[08:19] <ubuntuisloved_> To install windows or run it off usb?
[08:19] <Gr4cchus> to install windows from the usb
[08:20] <OerHeks> Gr4cchus, nope
[08:20] <ubuntuisloved_> http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux
[08:21] <Gr4cchus> you can with a bunch of other OS's , wonder why it doesnt work for windows
[08:21] <OerHeks> Gr4cchus, ask in ##windows?
[08:21] <ubuntuisloved_> Why would u want to?
[08:21] <Gr4cchus> wait what this article has you use dd
[08:21] <OerHeks> Gr4cchus, or read that serverfault url, you need some steps more than DD
[08:22] <Gr4cchus> why would i want to what?
[08:23] <ubuntuisloved_> Have u tried unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[08:24] <ubuntuisloved_> Never mind I think windows is not supported
[08:24] <Gr4cchus> thats what i used and am going to try
[08:24] <Gr4cchus> if it doesnt work i blame everything on you
[08:25] <Gr4cchus> plus more
[08:25] <Gr4cchus> X 1024
[08:25] <ubuntuisloved_> It might be the boot loader is not getting installed
[08:25] <ubuntuisloved_> Get in line behind my wife it's gonna be a long wait
[08:25] <Gr4cchus> even if it does work im going to get screwed and it will prob mess up my grub
[08:26] <ubuntuisloved_> Are u wiping out linux for winbloze?
[08:26] <ubuntuisloved_> Or dual booting
[08:26] <Gr4cchus> not sure yet
[08:26] <plasmasnake> Gr4cchus: it will definitely screw up your grub, you'll have to repair it after installing windows
[08:26] <plasmasnake> windows is obnoxious like that lol
[08:27] <Gr4cchus> setting up kvm passthrough has not been very successful
[08:29] <Scruffy_FL> Hi!  So, I got the USB drive working (thanks again everyone!)
[08:29] <Scruffy_FL> I'm in the install
[08:30] <Scruffy_FL> And the creation of swap space in partion #6 failed...
[08:30] <Scruffy_FL> and the install won't go any further.
[08:30] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, stop dropping breadcrumbs please.  the error message will state WHY things fail.
[08:30] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, and/or screenshots are helpful
[08:31] <Scruffy_FL> "The creation of swap space in partition #6 of SCSI7 (0,0,0) (sbd) failed."
[08:31] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, picture
[08:31] <Scruffy_FL> I do not see any further information regarding this error.
[08:31] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, screenshot of your partition scheme
[08:33] <plasmasnake> what the
[08:33] <plasmasnake> SCSI7 and sdb sounds suspicious
[08:33] <plasmasnake> i wonder if it's trying to partition your USB stick instead of your actual HD
[08:33] <cfhowlett> plasmasnake, that's why I asked for a pic
[08:34] <ubuntuisloved_> Are you also keeping other partitions as well like windows on there?
[08:35] <ubuntuisloved_> Is this set as a logical partition?
[08:35] <Scruffy_FL> I was trying to geep windows there.
[08:36] <Scruffy_FL> Sorry, tring to figure out the best way to get you a screen shot
[08:36] <cfhowlett> Scruffy_FL, imgur
[08:36] <plasmasnake> or dropbox
[08:36] <cfhowlett> plasmasnake, blocked in China ...
[08:37] <plasmasnake> interesting
[08:37] <plasmasnake> seems like an odd service to block
[08:37] <xavii> is there any /etc/rc.local type file i can use to execute commands after i resume from sleep?
[08:38] <ubuntuisloved_> List out your partitions please
[08:49] <somsip> xavii: look into /etc/pm/sleep.d

[10:07] <Sharetel> Hi, I have installed Java JDK 1.7 but an application says please install Java 1.6 or above on my Ubuntu server. May I please know what could be missing here?
[10:08] <Seveas> Sharetel: how did you install java?
[10:09] <Sharetel> Seveas: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
[10:10] <Seveas> that should do the trick, but maybe the application wants the jdk?
[10:12] <Sharetel> Seveas: is there any specific path that needs to be defined specifically?
[10:13] <Seveas> Sharetel: try installing openjdk-7-jdk. If that doesn't work, you'll need to tell us a lot more about the application, such as which application it is, and which command is giving you this output. And the full output of it.
[10:17] <Sharetel> Seaves: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openjdk-7/openjdk-7-jdk_7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb  Something wicked happened resolving 'security.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[10:20] <_joey> each time I restart modem /etc/resolv.conf looses manually added nameserver. How do I stop that?
[10:22] <Seveas> _joey: /etc/resolv.conf is managed by NetworkManager, so configure NetworkManager to do the right thing
[10:22] <Seveas> Sharetel: looks like you have a busted DNS setup
[10:24] <_joey> Seveas: I am not sure how to configure it to do 'the right thing'

[11:10] <Laddu> seeking help on pointer in c ....can ny one redirect me to ryt place?
[11:13] <am11> hello
[11:24] <linuxmint> Hi, I have 3 HDDs. # df -h only shows /dev/sda and not /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc. Do I need to reformat HDD b and C?
[11:25] <Seveas> linuxmint: df -h only shows mounted partitions. Does fdisk -l show the drives?
[11:25] <Seveas> also. linux mint isn't supported here
[11:25] <linuxmint> Seveas: oh. Yes, fdisk -l shows all drives.
[11:26] <linuxmint> Seveas: I'm setting up mhddfs, so I hope it will work.
[11:27] <Seveas> linuxmint: that sounds like a horrible hack. The usual way of doing this is with lvm
[11:28] <linuxmint> Seveas: oh, ok. It's my first time. I'll look up lvm.
[11:28] <Seveas> linuxmint: it'll mean a reinstall though to do lvm properly
[11:29] <linuxmint> Seveas: that's fine, I prefer to have it done properly.
[11:30] <am11> 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] <am11> when we build binary on Ubuntu 12, it fails to run on older CentOS or Fedora et al.
[11:31] <Seveas> 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] <Seveas> 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] <Seveas> am11: build on the oldest you want to support.
[11:33] <linuxmint> 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] <am11> Seveas: you mean oldest glibc (regardless flavors: Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS)?
[11:34] <Seveas> am11: oldest os, which will mean oldest glibc.
[11:37] <am11> 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] <hichamat> 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] <greyster> hello everyone
[11:46] <greyster> dynamic lot here lol
[11:46] <Seveas> am11: no. But the other way around (building on something newer) will guarantee that it won't work :)
[11:47] <Seveas> hichamat: you mean for yourself now for developing or for the world?
[11:57] <mehrdad> .
[12:00] <boriseto> I have a problem with my wifi on Ubuntu 14.04. The adapter is Ralink RT3290 and the weird thing is that it works after booting the laptop, but only for a while, then it disconnects randomly. There is no way to know when it happens (at least none that I know).
[12:01] <boriseto> After it is disconnected it gets disabled and I can't enable it.
[12:01] <boriseto> Any suggestions?
[12:05] <rzeka> I've got domain A on server. Now I've got 2 more servers. I'd like to run DNS there on sub1.A and sub2.A. Would "A" records be enough?
[12:06] <White_Cat> I am struggling with a grub issue
[12:06] <White_Cat> despite having lunch just now :p
[12:07] <White_Cat> basically it seems like my boot loader is on a usb flashdisk and my hdd does not have one
[12:09] <Guest21028> Can anyone tell me how to install flash plugin?
[12:09] <Mehdii> instal invedia graphic kard
[12:09] <Mehdii> error :
[12:09] <Mehdii> bash: /etc/init.d/gdm: No such file or directory
[12:10] <Mehdii> pleas help me
[12:10] <Mehdii> tnd
[12:10] <Mehdii> tnx
[12:10] <linuxmint> Seveas: thanks. 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.
[12:18] <linuxmint> Seveas: actually, sounds like mhddfs is better than lvm. mhddfs will save other disks if one breaks, unless I'm mistaken.
[12:30] <linuxmint> so, making 200 MB partition and the rest a pv for lvm. Do I select the option: Guided - use entire partition, LVM VG ubuntu-vg, LV root, or Guided - resize SCSI3 (0,1,0) (sdb (this should be on sda)) and use freed space?
[12:33] <White_Cat> So I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing and ran sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[12:33] <White_Cat> I still cant seem to boot via UEFI
[12:34] <christian_> can anyone help me? i want to install twonky-server via a ppa but i cant install it i need the ffmpeg for that but on 14.10 ubuntu i not find that package
[12:40] <bhanu> hi
[12:40] <kurzgesagt> hi

[12:46] <DrIranian> I bought an Ubuntu install DVD, but it failed to install GRUB
[12:46] <DrIranian> is there something wrong with the DVD or my laptop?
[12:49] <BluesKaj_> Hiyas all
[12:50] <DrIranian> BluesKaj_: yo
[12:50] <BluesKaj_> hey DrIranian
[12:56] <knoppix> hallo ich bin neu hier
[12:56] <DrIranian> knoppix: Wilkommen
[12:56] <knoppix> ich habe noch keinen namen

[12:58] <knoppix> vielen dank und frohe weihnachten an alle. bin dann weg.
[12:59] <marshal0505> Frohe weihnachten knoppix !
[12:59] <linuxmint> How can I setup multiple hard drives for storage? Parition wit LVM, mhddfs or RAID? I would like 1 HDD to store, then when full, I use the 2nd HDD. I am trying to avoid if 1 HDD breaks, the other HDDs won't work too.
[12:59] <DrIranian> Frohe weighnachten  :) :)
[13:00] <DrIranian> (knoppix: )
[13:01] <kurzgesagt> I dont know :(
[13:01] <kurzgesagt> im thinking about switching from debian. do you suggest unity or gnome ?
[13:02] <ikonia> whatever you like best,
[13:04] <kurzgesagt> i haven't used unity before. so i don't know if its worth getting used to.
[13:05] <kurzgesagt> but fair point
[13:06] <flashram> Ben64: so how do i resolve the irq message pops
[13:06] <flashram> ?.?
[13:06] <BluesKaj_> kurzgesagt, there;s KDE as well
[13:09] <kurzgesagt> I had some negative experiences with kde before
[13:09] <ikonia> hence "use what you like"
[13:09] <kurzgesagt> well, I will try some livecd's than for both of them, thanks :)
[13:09] <ikonia> that is the best option
[13:10] <ikonia> find what you like best
[13:10] <DrIranian> I bought an Ubuntu install DVD, but it failed to install GRUB, is there something wrong with the DVD or my laptop?
[13:10] <EriC^^> DrIranian: failed to install grub?
[13:10] <EriC^^> what do you mean?
[13:10] <DrIranian> EriC^^: Yes
[13:11] <DrIranian> EriC^^: it failed to install GRUB and there was no Ubuntu option on restart, it have allocated a partition though
[13:11] <EriC^^> DrIranian: is this a efi machine? win8?
[13:11] <DrIranian> EriC^^: Samsung netbook
[13:12] <EriC^^> win8?
[13:12] <DrIranian> EriC^^: win7
[13:12] <BluesKaj_> DrIranian, how old is the netbook ?
[13:12] <DrIranian> EriC^^: I installed it as a partition, not virtual machine
[13:13] <EriC^^> DrIranian: yes i know
[13:13] <DrIranian> BluesKaj_: around 2 years, it was the cheapest I could find
[13:13] <EriC^^> DrIranian: you're dual booting though, right?
[13:13] <DrIranian> EriC^^: I tried to dual boot, but it didn't install grup :(
[13:13] <BluesKaj_> DrIranian, ok then you have a uefi/bios
[13:14] <EriC^^> DrIranian: why do you say that?
[13:14] <DrIranian> EriC^^: say what?
[13:14] <EriC^^> DrIranian: when you boot it goes staight to windows?
[13:14] <DrIranian> EriC^^: yes
[13:14] <EriC^^> DrIranian: that it failed to install grub, if it didn't error out during the install it probably didn't fail
[13:14] <DrIranian> EriC^^: In the installation it says it failed to install grub, but it ask me to define another path, which I do
[13:15] <EriC^^> DrIranian: ok
[13:15] <EriC^^> DrIranian: do you have the live dvd right now?
[13:15] <BluesKaj_> !uefi | DrIranian
[13:15] <DrIranian> it has Megatrends BIOS :)
[13:15] <DrIranian> no UEFI, I think
[13:16] <BluesKaj_> all laptops and desktops have uefi  since 2010
[13:16] <DrIranian> ok
[13:17] <EriC^^> DrIranian: do you have the live usb?
[13:17] <EriC^^> *dvd
[13:17] <DrIranian> EriC^^: I did buy a DVD from a store, it's no official DVD
[13:18] <DrIranian> it's homemade
[13:18] <EriC^^> DrIranian: ok, do you have it?
[13:18] <DrIranian> EriC^^: yes
[13:18] <EriC^^> DrIranian: ok boot into it
[13:18] <DrIranian> EriC^^: Ok, i'm in netcafe though
[13:19] <EriC^^> you mean you don't have it with you right now?
[13:19] <DrIranian> EriC^^: I'll save that webpage into a flash drive, read it when I get home, then I'll try reinstalling
[13:19] <EriC^^> DrIranian: boot the live dvd and come back here
[13:20] <CraigS> hi all
[13:20] <DrIranian> EriC^^: ok thx dude, I'll try my best and report any errors
[13:20] <BluesKaj_> hey CraigS
[13:20] <EriC^^> and ask the channel to see if you're booted in efi and check your partition table and whatnot, you might need to chroot and reinstall grub or something

[14:18] <flashdeux> have u ran ./build.sh ?
[14:18] <nomadist> flashdeux, yes
[14:18] <nomadist> so I am in src/qt.. what do I do?

[14:19] <g0th> any ideas why?
[14:19] <flashdeux> there wasnt ? any u made a ln -s ?
[14:19] <nomadist> root@crawler:~/myname# ls -l phantomjs/bin/ total 43960 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 45005494 Dec 24 08:28 phantomjs
[14:19] <flashdeux> chmod +x phantomjs
[14:19] <flashdeux> ./phantomjs
[14:20] <dasjoe> It is already executable
[14:20] <Ben64> nomadist: phantomjs is in the repositories, why are you installing it that way???
[14:20] <g0th> I don't know how to debug this
[14:20] <flashdeux> hi Ben64
[14:20] <g0th> it's very annoying
[14:20] <g0th> I also don't have a clear way to reproduce it
[14:21] <g0th> It's an asus laptop
[14:21] <nomadist> Ben64, repository one is old, npm one is newer but it often fails for my crawler. on the stackoverflow I saw people suggesting that its better if i build from source
[14:21] <nomadist> flashdeux, ok, sorry but which phantomjs? there is phantomjs/ and phantomjs/bin/phantomjs
[14:22] <Ben64> nomadist: well feel free to do that, but it may cause problems later, and we can't really give you support for it. contact the developer if you have problems
[14:23] <flashdeux> in the dir u builded it do chmod +x ./phantomjs ... then enter then ./phantomjs
[14:24] <flashdeux> im guessing it builded it in bin as release ?
[14:24] <nomadist> ok guys , this is very strange
[14:24] <nomadist> when I do ./phantomjs/bin/phantomjs
[14:24] <nomadist> I get the phantomjs console so its working
[14:25] <flashdeux> :)
[14:25] <nomadist> but when I ln -s it to /usr/local/bin and do phantomjs -v it doesnt work
[14:25] <flashdeux> exact cmd to do ln ?
[14:25] <nomadist> /usr/local/bin is in $PATH I checked
[14:26] <Ben64> nomadist: because that is not the proper way, contact the developer for support
[14:26] <nomadist> ln -s phantomjs/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
[14:26] <flashdeux> then anywher in terminal type phantomjs
[14:26] <flashdeux> or chmod +x /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
[14:27] <flashdeux> oh not the proper way :p
[14:28] <nomadist> root@crawler:~/scrapinghub# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/phantomjs
[14:28] <nomadist> chmod: cannot access ‘/usr/local/bin/phantomjs’: Too many levels of symbolic links
[14:28] <wytrzeszcz> hey
[14:28] <jiraffe_> hi
[14:29] <wytrzeszcz> anybody use xdmx ?
[14:29] <Ben64> nomadist: still not the right way to install that, contact the developer, this channel does not support manually installed software
[14:31] <nomadist> Ben64, ok. I will try. Still someone here might be of help.
[14:31] <Ben64> nomadist: its not supported in this channel
[14:41] <dwiktor> Hi everybody! :)
[14:43] <dwiktor> I've got some good news :D This news is a KernelUP, program to automatically update the kernel in Ubuntu: Here you can find it!
[14:43] <dwiktor> https://github.com/DamiaX/KernelUP
[14:43] <dwiktor> It's really good
[14:44] <mo0p> Anyone here us OSX on a daily basis and able to provide any insight / comparison to Ubuntu 14.x ?
[14:44] <mo0p> with out being totaly biased lol
[14:46] <Gazby> mo0p, in what way?
[14:48] <mo0p> 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] <mo0p> 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] <Gazby> 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] <mo0p> 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] <oli`> Looking for help on switching a french keyboard to input digit when capslock.
[14:50] <Gazby> 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] <mo0p> LOL
[14:50] <mo0p> thats awesome.
[14:50] <Gazby> homebrew is like a better maintained third party repo
[14:51] <Gazby> it's really brilliant
[14:51] <mo0p> would i find most pieces of software in homebrew though? are there multiple homebrew repo's ?
[14:51] <mo0p> i do hear good things about it.
[14:51] <Gazby> 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] <Gazby> 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] <Gazby> in that way, it's superior to most distro maintained repos
[14:53] <mo0p> ohh, that is kinda neat ..
[14:53] <Gazby> you may find that some random utility you used to love on linux is not available for OS X though
[14:53] <Rudere> ciao
[14:53] <Rudere> !lista
[14:54] <mo0p> Given that Darwin is based off *Nix, would mots of my code compile and run same as on my ubuntu build? ever run into issues like this ?
[14:55] <Gazby> i don't have a significant amount of native code, so I'm the wrong person to ask. As I understand it, no, it will not be that simple.
[14:56] <mo0p> sorry hehe i am not asking you to vouch for one OS over the other.. i will always use Ubuntu and Arch hehe .. just curious
[14:59] <mo0p> SET /theme pandemonium
[15:00] <mo0p> SET /theme doom
[15:01] <Pici> mo0p: try: /set theme doom
[15:01] <BluesKaj_> mo0p, those themes sound depressing :/
[15:03] <Gazby> does anyone know how to get a modified ubuntu image (missing a whole lot of standard packages) up to a full server install please?
[15:03] <BluesKaj_> Gazby, whynot just find the server image/iso
[15:04] <Luposolitario> Ciao a tutto il sito
[15:05] <BluesKaj_> !it | Luposolitario
[15:09] <mo0p> hm
[15:21] <tylinux> whoami
[15:22] <mjayk> tylinux
[15:24] <jhutchins> Does ubuntu have tasksel?
[15:26] <Pici> Yes.
[15:27] <jhutchins> Gazby: Tasksel is the tool you need to expand your installation.
[15:29] <jhutchins> !tasksel
[15:34] <BluesKaj_> ikonia, are you monitoring #kubuntu ? We need some raid/mdadm advice
[15:40] <Prock81> ive installed 14.04.1 mini and using i3-wm, how can i tell what drivers are used off the desktop 14.04.1? And get my hard Volume Buttons working along with Prnt Scrn and the app it open from the desktop ver.

[15:54] <peter100> my xbmc crashes on exiting?
[15:59] <xjkx> "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb".", my ldd ./aplication said: "libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0xb38a2000)", file exists my ls -la to that gives: libxcb.so.1.1.0 on the same directory.

[15:59] <geforce88> ubuntu 14.04 lts dual booting windoes 8.1. windoes not booting. dual dedicated drives. UEFI issue? if so, how to fix? installed grub with sudo update-grub,grub lists windoes8.1 partition, but hangs. any idea?
[16:01] <jhutchins> geforce88: Does ubuntu boot?
[16:02] <geforce88> jhutchins: ubuntu boots as it's the first selection from the menu, yes. selecting windoes causes the computer to hang. i can select boot device by pressing F11 and select 2nd drive and it boots windoes
[16:05] <geforce88> for the record, this computer dual booted windows 8 and 13.10 for ever with no problems.
[16:05] <bleezy> geforce88, just reinstall windows then ubuntu
[16:06] <geforce88> bleezy: 2 seperate drives. still need to reinstall ?
[16:06] <bleezy> oh im not anything close to a pro but on a single drive it was easy
[16:07] <geforce88> the windows 8 and 13.10 they were seperate pata drives. the 8.1 and 14.04 are sata. maybe thats the problem ?
[16:07] <bleezy> idk know what a pata drive is
[16:08] <geforce88> or should i install grub on the windoes partition and use IT as the first boot device,eh?
[16:08] <geforce88> pata, the old IDE drive, the thin flay cable that was gray
[16:08] <bleezy> never heard it call that always called ide drive
[16:08] <geforce88> ide came in two styles. mine were pata
[16:09] <geforce88> i'm going to change boot order and move the grub fdile to windoes, wish me luck
[16:09] <bleezy> im runnig dual boot off siingle sata drive works great
[16:11] <bleezy> 100 people in here and not that much help lol\
[16:13] <BluesKaj_> bleezy, I have no idea about rocket arena
[16:14] <bleezy> BluesKaj_, thanks how about unrar ?
[16:15] <BluesKaj_> bleezy, I use unp, it can extract any compressed file in the terminal
[16:16] <peter100> is there any audio equalizer for xbmc?
[16:16] <BluesKaj_> peter100, ask in #xbmc
[16:17] <peter100> nobody is replying there
[16:18] <techsuperfreak> peter100 Check https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=equalizer+xbmc
[16:19] <hariom> I have ntp installed but my server clock is lagging about 8 minutes. How to fix this? (I am on CLI, no GUI)
[16:19] <peter100> thanks for the link
[16:19] <bleezy> where can i find rocket arena 3 for open arena
[16:20] <BluesKaj_> peter100, iirc , there is no eq in xbmc, but you can use alsa eq if you install it, check your package manager
[16:20] <St1gma> bleezy: http://openarena.wikia.com/wiki/ModCompat/Rocket_Arena_3
[16:21] <techsuperfreak> hariom http://bit.ly/1GXyqYH
[16:21] <bleezy> St1gma, that link doesnt work
[16:23] <St1gma> bleezy: it does. I'm looking at it
[16:23] <bleezy> try to d/l it it
[16:23] <bleezy> not there
[16:23] <BluesKaj_> bleezy, http://www.moddb.com/mods/rocket-arena-3/downloads/rocket-arena-3
[16:23] <bleezy> BluesKaj_, thats an exe file
[16:24] <St1gma> I tried....
[16:24] <St1gma> not something I know much about…. first time I hear about openarena
[16:25] <bleezy> thanks
[16:26] <peter100> BluesKaj_ already did that, though it does not sounds like an equalizer
[16:28] <bleezy> hmm what else is there to do on ubuntu
[16:28] <hariom> techsuperfreak: This command: "sudo ntpdate -s time.nist.gov" doesn't update the time. When I see `date`, I get the date & time lagging by 8 minutes
[16:29] <hariom> techsuperfreak: ntpdate should update the time immediately I suppose
[16:29] <bleezy> hariom, did you try n change in bios
[16:29] <techsuperfreak> hariom did you stop the service update the time server and resatrt the ntp service?
[16:29] <Enissay> How can I delete ONLY folders matched by some regex pattern (https://regex101.com/r/xK6oG0/1) using my terminal ?
[16:30] <krzysztof> MARRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YER FOR EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:30] <bleezy> I hate christmas

[16:31] <hariom> date still lags 8 minutes
[16:31] <bleezy> have you tried coming down from your cloud

[16:32] <krzysztof> thx;)
[16:32] <krzysztof> bye!
[16:33] <Crell> Hi folks. I have a newly installed 14.04 ubuntu-server.  So far there's nothing on it but SSH and basic LAMP.  I am trying to copy old backup files over to it, but the server keeps losing its network connection.
[16:33] <Crell> 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] <techsuperfreak> hariom I just noticed my ubuntu boxes are also 8 mins back, odd
[16:34] <Crell> Any idea what I should be checking?  syslog and dmesg didn't suggest anything obvious so far...
[16:34] <Crell> Running dhclient has no output.
[16:35] <Enissay> Got it, nvm xD
[16:35] <Stuxnet> Hi everyone. Is there an ubuntu server specific channel?
[16:35] <marshal0505> #ubuntu-server ?
[16:35] <tieinv> #ubuntu-server
[16:35] <Stuxnet> I'll try it, thanks.
[16:35] <Stuxnet> <newbie. Thanks!
[16:35]  * Crell wanders over there, too.
[16:38] <techsuperfreak> hariom I just reran the command and the clock it correct
[16:39] <bleezy> how do i find qhere my openarena folder is
[16:41] <techsuperfreak> bleezy try using locate or find
[16:41] <squinty> bleezy:  in terminal you can use the "locate", "find" and "whereis" commands
[16:43] <bleezy> permission wont let me extract files
[16:43] <squinty> bleezy:  to make sure your database is current you can run  sudo updatedb   before running the "locate" command
[16:43] <hariom> techsuperfreak: I ran that command 3 times but date still shows time lag
[16:43] <hariom> same time lag
[16:44] <techsuperfreak> hariom what time server are you using?
[16:45] <hariom> techsuperfreak: Tried asia.pool.ntp.org  and 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org
[16:46] <techsuperfreak> hariom try jp.pool.ntp.org or aany of the others at http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/asia
[16:47] <bleezy> archive manager wont let me extract to a folder because of permission?
[16:49] <squinty> bleezy:  try in terminal    sudo file-roller  and then migrate to your file
[16:50] <bleezy> squinty, thanks
[16:52] <bleezy> squinty, now the folder says i dont have permission to view it
[16:55] <hichamat> I have eclipse folder in /home/ How to create a shortcut of eclipse executable in /home/user/Desktop
[16:57] <hariom> techsuperfreak: no effect. Tried other servers from pool
[16:57] <hariom> ntpdate should update the time immediately but doesn't seem to be happening
[16:57] <slainr> is it worth to have an LPI certification? I'm an web developer...
[16:57] <jatt> nope
[16:58] <slainr> haha
[16:58] <Crell> slainr: If you're in web dev and care about certs, get certs more directly related to web dev.
[16:58] <Crell> Or just get a good portfolio. :-)
[16:59] <slainr> Crell, I don't care about that, but I was thinking to had something in my curriculum, haha
[17:00] <cfedde> having some admin grounding will help with your webdesign.
[17:00] <Crell> You should know your way around a server, but sysadmin certs won't be much use as a web dev.
[17:00] <slainr> yeah, sure
[17:00] <slainr> I'm using linux about an 1 year
[17:00] <hariom> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9612107/
[17:00] <hariom> techsuperfreak:^
[17:01] <techsuperfreak> hariom Still here, just working a ton of issues
[17:01] <Crell> Question: I've a 14.04 server that seems to be refusing to reassociate an IP address.  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] <Crell> ... why?
[17:04] <bodhi_zazen> Crell, disable dhclient ;)
[17:04] <techsuperfreak> hariom are you able to resolve the host us.pool.ntp.org?
[17:04] <Crell> bodhi_zazen: It's the same thing that's on this laptop and working fine for days on end...
[17:04] <Crell> At least I presume so; DHCP just works(tm) on the laptop so I haven't messed with it. :-)
[17:05] <Prock811> crell , try using wicd-curses
[17:05] <hariom> techsuperfreak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9612134/
[17:05] <Crell> Prock811: Not installed; and I can't apt-get it because it still won't get an address.
[17:06] <Gazby> 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] <Crell> 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] <bodhi_zazen> Crell, server or desktop ?
[17:06] <bodhi_zazen> network-manager or manual config ?
[17:06] <Crell> ubuntu-server 14.04, default installation.
[17:06] <bodhi_zazen> you could just remove nm and manually config
[17:07] <Crell> network-manager I presume; static DHCP served from my router.
[17:07] <Crell> Maybe, but I'd prefer to figure out the root cause than to abandon DHCP.
[17:07] <techsuperfreak> 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] <bodhi_zazen> Crell, http://askubuntu.com/questions/431682/how-do-i-use-etc-network-interfaces-instead-of-network-manager'
[17:08] <Prock811> Crell i install 14.04.1 Mini and i use wicd-curses network manager and it works perfistly
[17:08] <kref> test
[17:09] <autrilla> 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] <bodhi_zazen> Crell, hard to tell, could be anything from your router to your network card to a misconfiguration in Ubuntu
[17:09] <bodhi_zazen> but generally you do no use dhcp to set a static ip
[17:09] <bodhi_zazen> or at least I don't
[17:10] <autrilla> 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
[17:10] <bodhi_zazen> wb Corey84
[17:11] <Corey84> didnt know you hung out here too
[17:13] <Crell> And bodhi left...
[17:14] <cpined> hello, I installed GNOME 64 bit on a laptop that had ubuntu running.  The new install did not include WIFI, the previous ubuntu did have WIFI.  Can anyone please help?
[17:16] <cfedde> cpined: you added the gnome package to an existing laptop and now you don't have wifi?
[17:18] <cpined> cfedde, no...I installed ubuntu as the only OS on the laptop and wifi is not an option.  My previous Ubuntu had wifi abilities.  Basically I removed the previous Ubuntu and installed a new one.
[17:19] <cfedde> cpined: ah.  I would have expected wifi to be bart of the new one too.  The old one was a 32 bit OS?
[17:20] <cpined> cfedde, it was 64 bit.  Boy do I regret what I did.
[17:20] <apoth>  ##rlc
[17:20] <cfedde> cpined: can you use a wired network on that device?
[17:21] <cpined> yes
[17:21] <cfedde> cpined: you might want to be sure that everything is updated before giving up
[17:21] <cpined> cfedde, but I need the wifi, it is a lap top.
[17:22] <cfedde> cpined: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-update;
[17:22] <cpined> cfedde, brand spanking new install...I did run the updates.
[17:22] <Crell> How do I determine what DNS server a DHCP-configured system is currently using?
[17:23] <EriC^^> cpined: what does lspci say?
[17:23] <techsuperfreak> hariom Any luck?
[17:23] <cfedde> cpined: sounds frustrating.
[17:24] <hariom> techsuperfreak: no. It appears that it is not working due to VPS
[17:24] <cfedde> Crell: iirc ubuntu installs dnsmasq locally even on dumb clients.
[17:24] <Crell> Meaning?
[17:24] <hariom> techsuperfreak:Other VPS may depend on it
[17:24] <EriC^^> cpined: paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[17:24] <Seveas> cfedde: annoyingly, that's true.
[17:24] <Crell> I am trying to statically configure my server, to see if that works around the DHCP issues it's having.  But I need to know what DNS to give it.
[17:25] <Seveas> Crell: check /var/log/messages
[17:25] <techsuperfreak> hariom Check out this thread http://bit.ly/1zicbXo
[17:25] <Seveas> Crell: err, that's /var/log/syslog
[17:25] <cfedde> Crell: meaning that /etc/resolv.conf will tell you that your server is the loopback.
[17:26] <Crell> Seveas: Ah ha, grepping there gives me an answer, thanks.

[17:31] <Crell> I don't know why anyone bothers with static IP anymore. I can't recall the last time it worked properly for me.
[17:31] <cfedde> NetworkManager gets in the way
[17:31] <Crell> joy.

[17:44] <cpined> EriC^^, ok.  On a different note, restart hangs so I have to press the power button.
[17:45] <Tr0il> hello, could anybody help me with xchat in ubuntu?
[17:45] <EriC^^> cpined: when it hangs press esc and see what it's hanging on
[17:46] <cpined> EriC^^, I restarted, what am I looking for?
[17:46] <squinty> Tr0il:  just type in your problem and if someone can help they will reply
[17:46] <Tr0il> there is an irc server I have problem connecting to
[17:46] <Tr0il> irc.tiscali.it
[17:46] <EriC^^> when it hangs press esc, you should get the screen saying unmounting filesystems ... etc. see what it's hanging on
[17:46] <EriC^^> and any errors
[17:47] <Tr0il> the first time I try I can connect to that irc server, then, if I disconnect I can't connect to it no longer, why?
[17:47] <cpined> EriC^^, same wifi issue, not showing up.
[17:47] <Tr0il> I tried xchat in a Windws enviroment and this thing doesn't happen
[17:47] <teward> Tr0il: was it giving you any kind of errors?
[17:47] <Tr0il> yes
[17:47] <EriC^^> cpined: type lsmod | grep b43
[17:48] <Tr0il> it takes a long time and then it says: server unavailable
[17:48] <cpined> EriC^^, thanks for your help.  Need to go to work now.
[17:48] <EriC^^> cpined: ok check dmesg when you have time
[17:48] <Tr0il> but the first time I try I can connect to that server
[17:49] <hibajugala> ls
[17:49] <neionz> for some reason gedit likes to freeze. Any widely known reason why?
[17:49] <hibajugala> ls -a
[17:49] <hibajugala> ls -a
[17:49] <EriC^^> Tr0il: try to add the port maybe
[17:49] <EriC^^> Tr0il: /server irc.freenode.net 8001
[17:49] <EriC^^> 8001 works for me while others don't sometimes
[17:49] <Tr0il> ok the port for irc.tiscali.it should be 6667
[17:50] <Tr0il> I try to manually insert it
[17:51] <Tr0il> if you have xchat running on ubuntu can you please try to connect to irc.tiscali.it?
[17:51] <inkjetunito> lo. i installed kubuntu-desktop by using the 14.04 server image. works fine, but the wired network interface isn't managed by networkmanager?
[17:52] <Tr0il> what's the name of the wired network interface inketunito?
[17:52] <Tr0il> the model I mean
[17:53] <teward> is it dangerous to install gcc-4.7 alongside default installed
[17:53] <compdoc> inkjetunito, look at the file /etc/network/interfaces
[17:53] <inkjetunito> compdoc: thanks!
[17:53] <compdoc> thats where you would manually set it
[17:55] <zykotick9>  inkjetunito fyi, comment all the eth0 setting to get N-M to "manage" it...
[17:55] <inkjetunito> compdoc: yeah, looks like it was configured there. thanks for the quick response
[17:55] <inkjetunito> zykotick9: ty
[17:57] <flashdeux> icu.cpp:42:28: fatal error: unicode/utypes.h: Bestand of map bestaat niet #include <unicode/utypes.h>
[17:58] <flashdeux> where to get those again *shrugs*
[17:59] <teward> is it dangerous to install gcc-4.7 alongside default installed gcc and such?
[18:00] <flashdeux> u can set gcc
[18:01] <Seveas> flashdeux: libicu-dev (apt-file search is awesome!)
[18:02] <flashdeux> how to get uci dev on ubuntu ? ah thanks :)
[18:02] <flashdeux> how does apt-file work ?
[18:03] <flashdeux> it tells me in what package i can find what file or soem ?
[18:04] <flashdeux> now to let make bake pie for an half hour
[18:05] <flashdeux> :)
[18:07] <Crell> Question.  Is network-manager supposed to be installed on a headless server, or is it just for GUIs?
[18:09] <squinty> flashdeux: fwiw, http://packages.ubuntu.com/  ->  Search the contents of packages   is also useful.
[18:13] <flashdeux> Crell: i would gess its for x
[18:13] <flashdeux> or desktop versions
[18:14] <flashdeux> ifconfig eth0 down/up for cmdline
[18:14] <Crell> Yeah, that's not working in my case.
[18:14] <Crell> After the computer's been up for a little while it loses its connection and won't reconnect until I reboot.
[18:14] <Crell> static configuration doesn't work at all.
[18:14] <Crell> And manually bouncing doesn't fix it.  Needs reboot.
[18:18] <Crell> guh.  OK, yeah, network-manager wants to install half of Gnome.
[18:18] <Crell> Not happening.
[18:18] <Crell> So why a I still having this networking issue?
[18:18] <squinty> fwiw, whoever was experiencing ntp problems... just did an update and new ntp and ntpdate were included
[18:22] <robynata> :-D
[18:25] <lionrouge> could anyone please help me?
[18:26] <lionrouge> adter updating 14.04 to 14.10 my Ubuntu has broken
[18:26] <lionrouge> it shows the login screen but after logon it doesn't show Unity panels
[18:27] <lionrouge> i tried to remove fglrx and use open-source driver, tried to turn off quiet and splash in grub - no effect
[18:27] <inkjetunito> try making a new users
[18:27] <inkjetunito> -s
[18:28] <lionrouge> inkjetunito: i need to make new users ?
[18:30] <squinty> lionrouge:  removing splash and quiet is only for displaying what is loading while booting... it doesn't do anything video wise.
[18:30] <squinty> 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] <dts|pokeball> 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?

[18:38] <lionrouge> squinty: i removed .config/dconf and repaired it
[18:38] <lionrouge> but i have done it before. How could this issue come back ?
[18:38] <squinty> lionrouge:  good to hear. thanks for the update :)
[18:39] <lionrouge> that's what happens when you try to bring Windows crap (the registry - which is similar to dconf) to Linux
[18:42] <nickdeux> so what are the most intresting ubuntu project or to be run on ubuntu by xmas 2014 ?.?
[18:42] <nickdeux> any xmas releases ?
[18:42] <squinty> nickdeux:  support only  please use ubuntu-offtopic
[18:43] <aktx> Justiiii, hi, can we talk here
[18:43] <aktx> Justiiii, so can you try "ifconfig -a" to list all the interfaces
[18:43] <aktx> then if you see a down interface, do "ifconfig <interface> up"
[18:43] <aktx> you may need to do it as sudo so "sudo ifconfig <interface> up"
[18:43] <Justiiii> em1.1014  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr e8:39:35:3b:a2:0e
[18:43] <khaya> I have ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop connected to my lan wirelessly. I want to setup an unattended system update at midnight.  How do I do that?
[18:43] <Justiiii> this is the name of the 1st ip address
[18:43] <Justiiii> adapter
[18:43] <Justiiii> how do i add a 2nd static ip
[18:44] <aktx> Justiiii, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/StaticIP
[18:45] <aktx> so two things, 1) do you see the adapter you want to configure static ip on and 2) how do you configure the static ip
[18:45] <aktx> so #1, do you see the adapter? is it on the list when you do "ifconfig" ?
[18:45] <Justiiii> no
[18:45] <aktx> okay so then can you try "ifconfig -a"
[18:45] <aktx> and paste the result in pastebin.org
[18:45] <aktx> and link the paste here
[19:01] <Caleb---> is there a nice working weather indicator for ubuntu 14.10?
[19:02] <dts|pokeball> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9612761/
[19:02] <dts|pokeball> can someone tell me how to fix this?
[19:03] <daftykins> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:03] <dts|pokeball> ty
[19:06] <nickdeux> can ubuntu do a softap network connection adding like this windows batch file does ?
[19:06] <nickdeux> i setup lan to share with wifi2
[19:07] <daftykins> wifi hotspot? yes via network manager
[19:07] <nickdeux> thats actually a ssid wlan ap with ssid softap and password mypassword
[19:07] <nickdeux> *mysoftap
[19:07] <daftykins> no need for additional software.
[19:07] <nickdeux> without network manager i mean ?
[19:08] <daftykins> so you have some script on Windows and want to know how to get the same thing on ubuntu? look it up :)
[19:08] <nickdeux> i dont call a script software tho
[19:08] <nickdeux> netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
[19:09] <nickdeux> netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Mysoftap key=mypassword keyUsage=persistent
[19:09] <nickdeux> netsh wlan start hostednetwork
[19:09] <daftykins> yeah this isn't the place for windows talk.
[19:09] <nickdeux> thats all thers to it in two bats
[19:09] <nickdeux> start and stop
[19:09] <daftykins> you should've used a pastebin.
[19:09] <nickdeux> how do i do that on ubuntu u pastebinit ?
[19:10] <daftykins> sorry not even vaguely interested in looking into that on Christmas Eve
[19:10] <nickdeux> hah
[19:10] <nickdeux> u just couldnt tell
[19:11] <nickdeux> it creates an adapter and i setup share lan and it works
[19:11] <daftykins> right and i'm saying it can be done with NM
[19:12] <nickdeux> with network manager i cant even piss straight
[19:12] <nickdeux> sorry but just cant solve the problems with that manager alone
[19:12] <nickdeux> why not a network-config tool ?
[19:14] <nickdeux> should i pick gnome-desktop in tasksel if i want to have slick ubuntu ?
[19:15] <compdoc> I like ubuntu server + minimal Mate desktop. very sweet
[19:15] <nickdeux> or VM server :)
[19:15] <nickdeux> what exactly is mate using vlc ?
[19:16] <OerHeks> nickdeux, nope, vlc is optional
[19:16] <nickdeux> know any more intresting projects compdoc  ? xmas releases ? wifi softap for ubuntu ?
[19:17] <daftykins> nickdeux: network manager manages the network connections as-is, to try and use something else would involve fighting with it.
[19:17] <daftykins> !info hostapd
[19:17] <OerHeks> ignossi, please don't spam, thanks
[19:17] <daftykins> nickdeux: ^
[19:17] <daftykins> OerHeks: have reported that user but no ops are awake ;)
[19:18] <compdoc> I tend to modify /etc/network/interfaces  and leave network manager to the experts
[19:18] <daftykins> we're talking wireless hotspot provision here i think
[19:19] <nickdeux> so daftykins could Justiii have used his lan to net and his wlan0 to connect to softAP and his wlan1 as hostapd ?
[19:19] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[19:19] <nickdeux> then he would have second static in network manager
[19:19] <daftykins> you don't make much sense to me i'm afraid.
[19:19] <nickdeux> k thkx tho
[19:20] <qkzoo1978> 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] <dts|pokeball> daftykins, that didnt work
[19:21] <daftykins> dts|pokeball: uh-huh, it was an initial step. rather than "it dun work" you could show some pastebin evidence :)
[19:21] <qkzoo1978> ignossi is spamming.
[19:22] <dts|pokeball> daftykins, well i ran that and then ran apt-get install hhvm
[19:22] <dts|pokeball> which produced the same result
[19:22] <dts|pokeball> i wasnt aware it was just the first step
[19:22] <ObrienDave> dts|pokeball, apt-get -f install
[19:22] <catbusters> 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] <nickdeux> daftykins: one last thing how do i setup ics or share connection between two adapters ?
[19:23] <ObrienDave> dts|pokeball, then      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:23] <nickdeux> catbusters: put the result in a database tadada
[19:24] <dts|pokeball> ObrienDave, and just to make sure i understand, its literally just apt-get -f install. no package?
[19:24] <OerHeks> catbusters, no. only from the point of logging.
[19:24] <catbusters> nickdeux: You misunderstood me. I want to see my usage going backward, not keep a log of it going forward
[19:24] <ObrienDave> dts|pokeball, that fixes broken packages first
[19:24] <eli77> !<factoid>
[19:24] <catbusters> OerHeks: So is there anything else I could use to see my usage till date?
[19:25] <catbusters> I remember in Windows it shows you your usage per network
[19:25] <OerHeks> catbusters, maybe your ISP can tell
[19:25] <catbusters> OerHeks: they wouldn't be able to tell my usage per device though
[19:26] <OerHeks> catbusters, that wasn't your original question.
[19:26] <catbusters> OerHeks: I only want to know the bandwidth usage for a specific computer
[19:27] <catbusters> And there are many computers connected to the network
[19:28] <flashdeux> catbusters: then turn the log output program result the database backward
[19:29] <flashdeux> catbusters: talk yo to ur isp if u want to know there clients
[19:29] <dts|pokeball> ObrienDave, i ran all of that, and sudo apt-get install hhvm is still giving the same answer
[19:30] <ObrienDave> !find hhvm
[19:30] <rww> eli77: do you need ubottu help?
[19:30] <dts|pokeball> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-hhvm-hiphop-virtual-machine-on-an-ubuntu-13-10-vps
[19:31] <eli77> hi
[19:32] <eli77> rww: why?
[19:32] <jigglebells> hello
[19:32] <rww> eli77: you wandered into here and #ubuntu-irc saying !<factoid>, I figure you might be a little confused
[19:32] <jigglebells> the installer does not offer me an option to install ubuntu alongside windows, why?
[19:33] <eli77> rww: yes Im confused a lot
[19:33] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, How many windows partitions do you see in the something other option?
[19:33] <ObrienDave> dts|pokeball, try running through the install steps again
[19:33] <jigglebells> bubbasaures: one
[19:33] <dts|pokeball> ObrienDave, ok
[19:34] <rww> jigglebells: which version of Windows?
[19:34] <jigglebells> 8.1
[19:34] <rww> odd. 8.1 generally uses 2+ partitions
[19:34] <jigglebells> oh yeah
[19:35] <jigglebells> sda1 sda2
[19:35] <jigglebells> i tought you were asking about a sdb
[19:36] <eli77> rww: what did I do?
[19:37] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, Can you pastebin the output of sudo parted -l
[19:37] <eli77> rww: what is whois?
[19:39] <daftykins> 8.1 EFI installed has more than 2
[19:39] <bubbasaures> 4-5 probably
[19:39] <bubbasaures> if oem
[19:39] <daftykins> *nod*
[19:40] <jigglebells> bubbasaures: http://pastebin.com/qGA9cLg2
[19:40] <taserian> 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] <daftykins> taserian: how many guesses do i get?
[19:41] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, msdos cool resize the windows in windows leaving an unallocated space and ubuntu should give you an install alongside option.
[19:41] <daftykins> or will you detail the problem...
[19:42] <jigglebells> bubbasaures: through the installer? "something else" ? or gparted?
[19:43] <sliderfly>  hello  salut .
[19:44] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, Not sure I understand your question.
[19:44] <jigglebells> bubbasaures: how to resize
[19:44] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, Windows has a partitioner that is run while live.
[19:44] <daftykins> jigglebells: boot windows. run diskmgmt.msc - resize.
[19:44] <bubbasaures> that is the onr thanks daftykins
[19:44] <bubbasaures> one*
[19:45] <daftykins> anytime :)
[19:45] <jigglebells> is it faster to do it in windows?
[19:45] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, safer
[19:46] <sliderfly>  hello .    someebody were here ?
[19:46] <jigglebells> ok thanks
[19:46] <bubbasaures> in my opinion and many others however the built in resizer works, I use the windows myself jigglebells
[19:47] <jigglebells> is there a gui in windows?
[19:47] <jigglebells> perhaps the "disk management" ?
[19:47] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, Yep use the command daftykins gave you in the run
[19:47] <jigglebells> ok thanks
[19:48] <Sach> 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] <bubbasaures> jigglebells, You have to be admin though which the first account on W8 or any windows is.
[19:48] <jigglebells> i am bubbasaures
[19:48] <bubbasaures> I figured so, just a clucking mother syndrome here. ;)
[19:48] <jigglebells> im gonna try that now
[19:49] <jigglebells> thanks again :D
[19:51] <sliderfly>  oooh i want to install linux 13. on my 12.04
[19:51] <ikonia> linux 13 ?
[19:51] <bubbasaures> Sach, I believe video is fairly compressed and all you can do is loose data and have less quality.
[19:52] <bubbasaures> any compression is fairly small anyway
[19:53] <daftykins> sliderfly: "Ubuntu 13" is already end of life, your supported options are currently 12.04.5, 14.04.1 and 14.10
[19:53] <ikonia> Sach: compressing it won't make it time lapse, you are looking to re-encode it removing frames
[19:54] <sliderfly>      yeah linux ubuntu 13
[19:54] <ikonia> that distro is end of live and unavailable as a supported distro
[19:54] <Sach> bubbasaures: thanks. so is it possible to save the video in a way that it is sped up?
[19:54] <daftykins> sliderfly: no, they're dead. no more 13.
[19:55] <Sach> ikonia: I've tried ffmpeg to speed up the video, but it does seem to work for me.
[19:55] <ikonia> Sach: speed up the video ? you where talking about compressing it a minute ago
[19:55] <daftykins> sliderfly: do you want to upgrade from 12.04 -> 14.04 ?
[19:55] <ikonia> Sach: what do you actually want ?
[19:55] <bubbasaures> 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] <MerryL235> anyone else getting PM spam from sliderfly with bad punctuation?
[19:56] <Sach> ikonia: I want to save a version of the webm video that is sped up. ie. 5x speed.
[19:56] <bubbasaures> punctuation is fine in mine, lol
[19:56] <ikonia> Sach: thats nothing to do with "saving it"
[19:56] <ikonia> Sach: you'd need to re-encode it at x5 speed
[19:58] <Sach_> konia: what do you mean?
[19:58] <ikonia> Sach_: you would either need to re-encode the file or use the play back software to run at x5
[19:59] <sliderfly>  i dn"t want to upgrade .  i want to intall, ubuntu 13. how can i do
[19:59] <ikonia> sliderfly: ubuntu 13.X is end of life, we do not support it, sorry
[20:00] <sliderfly>  okay
[20:00] <bubbasaures> sliderfly, Can you tell us why you want a second ubuntu? the one you want is not supported is all.
[20:01] <sliderfly>    linux 12.04  have many problem
[20:01] <ararob> sliderfly, why not 14.04
[20:02] <jingglebells> i did it
[20:02] <imastupidguest> How can I update my version of gcc and g++ to the very latest on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[20:02] <jingglebells> but no option again
[20:02] <sliderfly>   because .  i hadn't 14.04 and i havent time to download this
[20:03] <bubbasaures> jingglebells, Take a screen shot of that gui and put it in a imagebin the prtsc key will do the pic
[20:03] <sliderfly>  innnh  what
[20:05] <jingglebells> bubbasaures: http://i.imgur.com/TewRCIQ.png
[20:06] <daftykins> MerryL235: please report it to #ubuntu-ops
[20:07] <bubbasaures> jingglebells, Hmm, how about a screen shot of gparted.
[20:07] <daftykins> bubbasaures: EFI vs. legacy boot of media perhaps?
[20:07] <bubbasaures> jingglebells, I wonder if you have a broken partition table is all.
[20:08] <jingglebells> bubbasaures: http://i.imgur.com/rYBQCbV.png
[20:08] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Yeah could be but it should legacy boot auto but not sure really, it is a msdos table
[20:09] <daftykins> jingglebells: is this some kind of little netbook? :P
[20:09] <daftykins> that's one horribly low resolution
[20:09] <jingglebells> daftykins: precisely
[20:09] <daftykins> and it really came with win8?
[20:09] <jingglebells> nope
[20:09] <daftykins> so you just put it on after to try it out?
[20:09] <jingglebells> yes
[20:10] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Maybe the bootinfo would be helpful
[20:10] <alexmrb> Does anyone else have any problems with a flickering screen in Ubuntu?
[20:10] <daftykins> 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] <bubbasaures> daftykins, That was what I was thinking.
[20:11] <bubbasaures> 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] <bubbasaures> this is a manual install
[20:12] <sliderfly> okay
[20:13] <jingglebells> bubbasaures: i really dont wanna do that
[20:13] <stoogenmeyer> 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] <stoogenmeyer> Because it gives me very strange behvaiour
[20:13] <bubbasaures> jingglebells, Everything looks correct as far as you should have the alongside option, not sure why it is not there.
[20:13] <jingglebells> bubbasaures: perhaps it need to turn off the fast boot option of windows?
[20:13] <daftykins> stoogenmeyer: try #bash this is an OS support channel.
[20:14] <stoogenmeyer> When EXISTS contains something I get /proc/self/fd/9: 3: [: 1153e52d1efc: unexpected operator
[20:14] <stoogenmeyer> um ok thanks!
[20:14] <bubbasaures> jingglebells, Ah yes, there is a legacy button you must have set it, just make sure windwos boots after any changes\.
[20:15] <bubbasaures> 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] <sliderfly>        so .  i want  to know if linux have a social    network
[20:16] <weaksauce> 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] <flashdeux> so i made a wireless network
[20:17] <flashdeux> so how do i now ics or share the connection with lan ?
[20:17] <flashdeux> and whats the real cmd to do it in terminal ?
[20:17] <ikonia> weaksauce: you're going to have a few problems, as you're moving from an unsupported release, to another unsupported release.
[20:17] <flashdeux> opposed to network manager ?
[20:18] <ikonia> flashdeux: network manager will make it a lot easier for you
[20:18] <flashdeux> i want mysoftap to use my routers dhcp for clients
[20:18] <ikonia> ?
[20:18] <eli77> hi
[20:19] <flashdeux> whats the cmd for network manager ?
[20:19] <ikonia> use the gui
[20:19] <ikonia> thats how you configure the wireless network
[20:19] <eli77> I need advice
[20:19] <ikonia> you can't configure the wirleess network outside of network manager, then expect network manager to work with ICS
[20:19] <sliderfly>  there are not  girl in this hell .      shith
[20:19] <flashdeux> network-gui ?
[20:20] <ikonia> sliderfly: enough, stop now
[20:20] <daftykins> !ask | eli77
[20:20] <ikonia> flashdeux: what desktop enviornment are you using
[20:20] <flashdeux> ubuntu-desktop
[20:20] <ikonia> flashdeux: ok, so in the top right you'll find the network manager applet, that is your interface to network manager
[20:21] <daftykins> ikonia: flashdeux was in earlier, stubbornly refusing to use NM - wants 'commands' to do it all ;)
[20:21] <eli77> what is whois?
[20:21] <daftykins> needless to say we got nowhere then.
[20:21] <ikonia> daftykins: then he'll be dissapointed
[20:21] <daftykins> eli77: "/join #freenode" and ask them.
[20:22] <weaksauce> ikonia the upgrade went ok but now my ssh is saying connection refused
[20:22] <EiEiOhh> 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] <weaksauce> ikonia I might have to go onsite for it i guess
[20:22] <eli77> thank u
[20:23] <daftykins> EiEiOhh: install "pastebinit" then run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"
[20:23] <St1gma> weaksauce: if you did a dist-upgrade you may have ssh running on 1022 (I think)
[20:23] <ikonia> on 1022 ??
[20:23] <ikonia> what
[20:23] <ikonia> dist-upgrade dos not change the ssh port
[20:23] <St1gma> it doesn't
[20:23] <St1gma> it starts a new listener on that port
[20:24] <squinty> 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] <ikonia> it doesn't start a new sshd proces on 1022
[20:24] <flashdeux> daftykins: no its working now :) ... its only if lan is connected thers no network-manager but a network connection there
[20:24] <ikonia> flashdeux: network manager is always there
[20:24] <daftykins> flashdeux: i don't care :) NM works and you refuse to use it, you're on your own
[20:24] <St1gma> it does
[20:25] <St1gma> 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] <flashdeux> it works okey >... and ics and wlan hosted network works
[20:25] <flashdeux> but ive seen no network manager
[20:25] <St1gma> it does this if you upgrade from an ssh connection
[20:25] <St1gma> if you are doing it locally then it doesn't
[20:25] <flashdeux> but made a wlan host and ics in connections(active connections)
[20:26] <flashdeux> at first it was there when i wasnt connected
[20:26] <flashdeux> lol i cant explain :p
[20:26] <EiEiOhh> daftykins, this one? Nautilus Pastebin Configurator?
[20:28] <St1gma> flashdeux: what are you trying to do?
[20:28] <acovrig> what is the/a vlc equivalent of "mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0:input=1:normid=0"?
[20:28] <weaksauce> St1gma doesn't help much because my router is blocking those ports.
[20:28] <weaksauce> but I might be able to open that up remotely
[20:28] <St1gma> So you did upgrade over SSH?
[20:28] <flashdeux> i was trying to host a wlan network with ics to shared
[20:28] <flashdeux> it works now xD
[20:29] <weaksauce> St1gma yeah. not ideal but I had no real good choice
[20:29] <daftykins> EiEiOhh: apt-get install pastebinit ; simples.
[20:29] <squinty> acovrig:  might try #videolan  (vlc support channel)
[20:29] <St1gma> flashdeux: I use dnsmasq and hostapd to host my wifi, no need for gui tools
[20:29] <weaksauce> now I have to get someone to let me onsite but they won't be around for a few hours
[20:30] <acovrig> 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] <flashdeux> well tell me howto hostapd cuz somehow i just tried on a client and it doesnt work
[20:30] <EiEiOhh> 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] <St1gma> 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] <St1gma> flashdeux: give me a sec and I can get you some config files
[20:31] <flashdeux> k :)
[20:31] <weaksauce> 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] <weaksauce> looks like I can get onsite right now.
[20:34] <Bashing-om> EiEiOhh: Might think about organization of your media, and prepare several partitions. IE personal data, backups, video, music, other stuff.
[20:34] <St1gma> flashdeux: pm me an email address, I'm feeding my son right now so it'll take longer than a sec :P
[20:35] <flashdeux> heh
[20:35] <flashdeux> and a gpg key ?
[20:35] <EiEiOhh> Bashing-om, this is for a media server I will have multiple drives installed. one each for Video, Music and Pictures
[20:36] <St1gma> if you got it, that's better
[20:37] <Bashing-om> EiEiOhh: Terminal way : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive .
[20:38] <St1gma> EiEiOhh: 1) get the hardware the in pace 2) parted /dev/sdX 3) mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1 4) modify fstab
[20:38] <flashdeux> pm me the answer and u'll be in heavon on xmas lol
[20:39] <Bashing-om> EiEiOhh: Once the partition(s) are created, one needs to mount the file systems(s) see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 <-bodhi.zazen-Understanding fstab .
[20:44] <weaksauce> how do you get sshd to start at boot?
[20:45] <arun> is there any way to run OS/iso live in a server? like we can do in susestudio...
[20:47]  * ktosiek just discovered apt {update,install,search}
[20:47] <St1gma> weaksauce: # sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults     (double check this)
[20:47] <ktosiek> wow, are those new?
[20:48] <Bashing-om> arun: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot <-Ubuntu ISOs are designed to allow booting directly from the hard drive using GRUB 2 and eliminates the need for burning a CD/DVD.
[20:48] <flashdeux> nl80211 driver initialization failed.
[20:48] <flashdeux> hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
[20:49] <flashdeux> St1gma: care to help still ?
[20:50] <weaksauce> St1gma thanks. yeah that's what I was looking for
[20:50] <weaksauce> why would they remove ssh from the runlevels after an upgrade?
[20:50] <St1gma> it shouldn't
[20:51] <flashdeux> St1gma: do u know howto enable hostapd driver ?
[20:52] <flashdeux> lspci -k does not list network adapters
[20:52] <arun> Bashing-om: I mean online in web
[20:52] <weaksauce> curious. it wasn't in any of the rc dirs before using that update-rc.d command
[20:52] <weaksauce> and I know that ssh was working after a restart before.
[20:53] <St1gma> flash
[20:53] <St1gma> flashdeux: that means that network manager is hugging your interface
[20:53] <St1gma> you have to kill it first
[20:53] <St1gma> http://askubuntu.com/questions/472794/hostapd-error-nl80211-could-not-configure-driver-mode
[20:55] <daftykins> flashdeux: note i warned you about this earlier ;)
[20:55] <daftykins> use what's there, not extra jazz.

[21:02] <arun> is there any way to run OS/iso live in a server? like we can do in susestudio... like a test drive live
[21:06] <WildyLion> Hi. Anybody here who had success with preseeding dm-crypt encrypted installations?
[21:14] <kandango> hi folks... wondering if anyone has run into this before. Seeing an issue on 14.04.1 LTS whenever I try to copy/paste via CRTL+C/CRTL+V selected text in a window, it simply puts my keyboard unresponsive.  I've tried Google, but haven't had much luck.
[21:15] <daftykins> kandango: test the guest session
[21:15] <daftykins> can't say i ever need to ctrl+c stuff i select though
[21:17] <u_serge> hi guys. can you help me please? i have my locales messed up on my system and now all cyrillic symbols are displaying like ?????? and no program can open them. can you please guide me through the repairing process? any help would be appreciated.
[21:18] <u_serge> if it helps, here's dpkg-reconfigure locales output: http://pastebin.com/CfATfzEJ
[21:19] <kandango> daftykins: works in the guest session
[21:20] <daftykins> so something could be up with your account
[21:20] <daftykins> what desktop is this?
[21:20] <kandango> Unity
[21:21] <daftykins> i think the config is stored in ~/.config/unity or something, if you moved .config to .configold you can restart and test a default session, then add back in your configs one by one
[21:22] <u_serge> i'm sorry, but where i can get help i need, if not here on #ubuntu with 1630 people here?
[21:22] <u_serge> maybe you can redirect me
[21:23] <curiousx> !ask u_serge
[21:23] <teward> u_serge: firstly, it's the holidays.  you need patiences
[21:23] <curiousx> !ask | u_serge
[21:24] <u_serge> teward: i've asked it, but it must have been scrolled up due to all the "has joined/has left" informational lines
[21:24] <u_serge> ah, sorry
[21:24] <u_serge> that was meant for curiousx
[21:28] <Chuck_Norris> u_serge: could you write what did you do before this happen ?
[21:29] <Chuck_Norris> and... where do you see this simbols ? is it only in your terminal ? or is it every where ?
[21:29] <uvarovserge> Chuck_Norris: everywhere
[21:30] <Chuck_Norris> what's when you installed ubuntu what was the language you chose ?
[21:31] <uvarovserge> english
[21:31] <uvarovserge> it worked well until today
[21:31] <uvarovserge> even with cyrillic file names
[21:32] <mtn> uvarovserge: did you remove some fonts?
[21:32] <uvarovserge> mtn: nope
[21:32] <uvarovserge> didn't touch them
[21:32] <mtn> uvarovserge: had to change something, and that is the most likely
[21:33] <uvarovserge> well, it wasn't me. maybe some software broke. i didn't mess with locales and fonts, as far as i remember
[21:33] <mtn> uvarovserge: software doesn't "break" ;)
[21:34] <Chuck_Norris> uvarovserge: check: Settings > Regions and Languages   to see if english is abailable and you are using it
[21:34] <uvarovserge> okay, the scientific term is "it behaves unexpectedly"
[21:35] <uvarovserge> wow, the dialog is stuck on 0%
[21:35] <uvarovserge> ah, no, that was temporary glitch
[21:36] <uvarovserge> yes, preferred languages has one item: American English
[21:39] <Chuck_Norris> uvarovserge: paste:  echo $LANG
[21:39] <uvarovserge> en_EN.UTF-8
[21:40] <Chuck_Norris> lo) same here -.-
[21:43] <Chuck_Norris> uvarovserge: gksudo /etc/environment
[21:43] <Guest72030> If I download an iso and burn it to a dvd can ithen just copy the dvd to a usb?
[21:43] <Guest72030> *ithen/ I then
[21:44] <uvarovserge> Chuck_Norris: (process:5633): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
[21:45] <Chuck_Norris> ok np, close it if it open now....    sudo -i
[21:46] <uvarovserge> okay, i'm in
[21:46] <Chuck_Norris> uvarovserge: now:  echo LC_ALL="en_GB.utf8" >> /etc/environment
[21:47] <Chuck_Norris> en_US
[21:47] <Chuck_Norris> would be better i think :p
[21:47] <uvarovserge> done
[21:47] <Chuck_Norris> uvarovserge: reboot
[21:49] <k-stz> I'm trying to use a different windowmanager (stumpwm), after installing it however I don't get to choose it on login like in former distros. I'm running 14.04lts
[21:49] <EriC^^> k-stz: how'd you install it
[21:50] <k-stz> sudo apt-get install stumpwm
[21:51] <EriC^^> k-stz: type ls /usr/share/xsessions

[21:56]  * tofupunx is new to Ubuntu (14.10) and is having some troubles with network connectivity
[21:58] <totesmuhgoats> hey pals
[21:58] <flashdeux> St1gma: hi pm
[21:58] <totesmuhgoats> so i have migrated to btrfs and according the btrfs docs it's recommended that i use a relatively recent kernel (no more than 2 weeks old). i am looking at the ubuntu wiki and there is mention of a mainline ppa, but i am seeing other things online which indicate that ppa is no longer maintained
[21:58] <Bashing-om> tofupunx: State your issue - one line - to the channel. The guru's will respond if any know .
[22:00] <daftykins> totesmuhgoats: pretty sure it's an experimental fs and going non-included kernel will mean zero support
[22:00] <daftykins> so all a bit risky.
[22:03] <tofupunx> I have LAN access and everything looks ok but I have no internet access.  Pinging 8.8.8.8 yields "unreachable" results
[22:04] <daftykins> no gateway?
[22:04] <daftykins> "ip route"
[22:05] <totesmuhgoats> daftykins, do you mean that there will not be a ppa because it's not supported?
[22:05] <totesmuhgoats> there is this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[22:05] <totesmuhgoats> which links a ppa, but the newer builds seem to be for vivid and utopic
[22:05] <totesmuhgoats> not sure if they'd work on trusty
[22:07] <tofupunx> I am not familiar with terminal commands in Ubuntu... only my second day running it.  ifconfig
[22:08] <tofupunx> ifconfig shows it sees the gateway
[22:10] <EriC^^> tofupunx: i dont think so
[22:10] <EriC^^> try ip route
[22:17] <venicci> Hi all, (noob here) I've got a problem installing my printer (Brother DCP 195)... I'm just really new at this... can anyone guide me through this?
[22:20] <tofupunx> ip route has both my static IP and Gateway IP
[22:20] <totesmuhgoats> venicci, try to state the problem you are having as exactly as you can and someone may be able to help
[22:20] <daftykins> tofupunx: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ip route | pastebinit"
[22:21] <venicci> very well, I will try. I tried to print something, but no printer was found... I've tried via the brother official site, but couldn't get the files to install. Now I have an install file, but it doesn't seem to have my printer...
[22:22] <tofupunx> @dafykins sorry, I'm not following
[22:23] <daftykins> tofupunx: it's quite simple, you run what i typed to you in the terminal.
[22:24] <daftykins> venicci: the brother website appears to have a .deb to install, have you tried this?
[22:24] <venicci> daftykins: Yes I have... It installed fine, but then when I had to choose my printer... I had al lot of types but not mine...
[22:24] <venicci> I double checked if I had the right one
[22:25] <daftykins> 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.
[22:26] <venicci> daftykins: allright I'll see if any of those are in there
[22:28] <venicci> daftykins: actually none that even come close to my number...
[22:28] <venicci> daftykins: I did try to download a ppd thingy and I can select that but it tells me "the program" isn't installed...
[22:29] <daftykins> venicci: opena terminal and run "dpkg -l | grep -i brother"
[22:29] <daftykins> !paste | venicci use this to share the output
[22:30] <venicci> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9613730/
[22:31] <daftykins> hmm 32-bit
[22:32] <tofupunx> I tried it dafykins but I get "update command takes no arguments"
[22:32] <daftykins> venicci: pretty sure you need the cupswrapper installed too http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadlist.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp195c_all&os=128
[22:33] <daftykins> tofupunx: tried which?
[22:33] <daftykins> tofupunx: the && isn't a typo, make sure you're doing that
[22:33] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[22:34] <venicci> It says the file is of bad quality... I will ignore and install
[22:37] <venicci> It did not install
[22:37] <daftykins> is it a .deb?
[22:39] <venicci> yes it is
[22:42] <daftykins> so open a terminal, "sudo dpkg -i myfile.deb" then share any output with a paste site as above
[22:42] <daftykins> for if it shares any errors
[22:45] <venicci> that seems to have done something... suddenly it lists my printer... trying to print now..
[22:47] <daftykins> :D
[22:48] <daftykins> venicci: i replied on the Brother website, giving them feedback telling them that their driver and instructions are utterly terrible
[22:48] <daftykins> i suggest you do the same so they know
[22:48] <venicci> I will, though I wasn't sure If I was just being an idiot... :P
[22:49] <venicci> Which ofcourse is also true... But it's still not printing...
[22:49] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> *Linux
[22:49] <daftykins> so were you able to find the relevant model this time?
[22:50] <venicci> 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] <daftykins> wouldn't hurt to restart since i think
[22:52] <daftykins> it might've been better to run their driver installer script, perhaps it does something better than this
[22:52] <venicci> ah ofcourse that could be a good idea... I'm so new to linux that I've forgotten the basics...I apologize
[22:52] <venicci> back in a flash
[22:58] <DarkAceZ> how do I get a list of bash $vars?
[22:58] <DarkAceZ> like $TERM
[22:58] <daftykins> #bash
[22:58] <DarkAceZ> I might be using the wrong term "bash" there, I'm not too familiar with this yet
[22:58] <DarkAceZ> but I know I've gotten the list before
[22:58] <EriC^^> DarkAceZ: env
[22:59] <DarkAceZ> thanks
[22:59] <daftykins> EriC^^: happy festive celebrations to you
[23:00] <EriC^^> daftykins: and you too! :)
[23:00] <daftykins> ty :>
[23:01] <cpined> EriC^^, hey, it turned out that the driver was not installed.  I installed the wifi driver and all is well.
[23:01] <EriC^^> cpined: great
[23:09] <venicci> daftykins: I've rebooted... Printer is connected and on... name appears but it says: "Waiting for printer to become available"
[23:09] <chull2058> Hello fellow ubuntu peep. I have a simple question because I am having a harder time trying to do something simple if anyone can help?
[23:09] <daftykins> just ask the question.
[23:10] <daftykins> venicci: hmm i'd remove those and try from the installer script on brother's website instead
[23:10] <daftykins> i wasn't 100% you did things the way they want
[23:10] <daftykins> venicci: is it USB attached?
[23:10] <chull2058> I tried to change my desktop backgrounds to another folder with images in it and tried to have it change once an hour. I click close after I select the foilder I want then ... nothing.
[23:11] <venicci> daftykins: Yes it is
[23:11] <daftykins> venicci: tried replugging i take it? :D
[23:11] <venicci> daftykins: yep
[23:11] <venicci> daftykins: I'll try the reinstall bit
[23:11] <daftykins> *nod*
[23:12] <daftykins> venicci: for completeness i refer to: http://download.brother.com/welcome/dlf006893/linux-brprinter-installer-2.0.0-1.gz
[23:12] <daftykins> which you unzip, then open a terminal, run "sudo -i" and enter your password, then navigate to where the extracted file is and run as per their instructions
[23:16] <venicci> daftykins: You are indeed a hero and a helper... the reinstall worked...printing now!
[23:17] <daftykins> venicci: :D excellent. enjoy :)
[23:17] <daftykins> Brother are definitely going on my new year's "list"
[23:18] <venicci> daftykins: ..ominous :P thank you :) untill next time :)
[23:18] <chull2058> Can someone help me figure out why I cannot change my desktop backgrounds?
[23:19] <daftykins> to be honest i think there are far greater support queries of a christmas eve than what wallpapers are coming up for you ;x
[23:19] <chull2058> understood.
[23:20] <daftykins> however i do not use desktop so cannot assist :(
[23:20] <daftykins> perhaps they're the wrong format or something odd
[23:20] <chull2058> I cannot even add the folder to the settings
[23:21] <ikonia> the path is hardcoded I believe
[23:21] <daftykins> is it a child folder of your ~/Pictures ?
[23:21] <chull2058> Yes it is.
[23:21] <daftykins> does it have a space in it?
[23:22] <chull2058> I am not sure of the question, I downloaded the images into the child folder.
[23:22] <ikonia> I don't think it can be in subdirectories
[23:22] <ikonia> there was discussion in a recent unity release that it was locked to the parent pictures folder
[23:22] <daftykins> right so is ~/Pictures/folder_name_here/ got any spaces in it? e.g. "chulls amazing pics"
[23:22] <ikonia> there is a same issue with gnome, and they shared the same library
[23:22] <daftykins> ooh-err
[23:22] <ikonia> I don't now if thats still valid though
[23:22] <daftykins> that's quite a basic one
[23:23] <chull2058> The original folder is in a subdirectory of usr
[23:23] <ikonia> usr ??
[23:23] <ikonia>  /usr/share/wallpapers ?
[23:23] <daftykins> yeah you shouldn't be trying to put things there i would think
[23:23] <chull2058> usr/share/backgrounds/xface is the current folder location
[23:24] <chull2058> it was installed there
[23:24] <ikonia> as I recall it's just ~/Pictures
[23:24] <ikonia> thats where user wallpapers should go
[23:24] <daftykins> system wide ones sure, but you don't add to those :)
[23:24] <ikonia> you may be able to use sub folders, but I do remember there was a bug/feature that stopped sub directoris for a while
[23:24] <ikonia> I don't know if that feature is still valid
[23:24] <daftykins> chull2058: throw 2 pics into ~/Pictures and see what happens
[23:26] <chull2058> Bingo daftykins, that worked. Thank you!
[23:26] <daftykins> i'd like to call it a team effort
[23:26] <daftykins> ikonia: ^5
[23:26] <daftykins> :D
[23:26] <ikonia> you can have the glory,
[23:27] <chull2058> must still be a vaild point still ikonia - thanks for the information.
[23:28] <chull2058> You guys rock, Merry Chistmas - Happy Holidays to you all.
[23:28] <daftykins> and to you o/
[23:30]  * bubbasaures notes, gotta stop by pete schweddy's for some trearts
[23:30] <bubbasaures> treats*
[23:30] <daftykins> is that a shop in your neck of the woods? :)
[23:30] <daftykins> 'cause i think that might ruin Pete's holidays otherwise ;)
[23:31] <tofupunx> @dafykins "failed to fetch" because I have no internet
[23:31] <bubbasaures> daftykins, youtube schweddy
[23:31] <bubbasaures> you may get it already
[23:32] <daftykins> tofupunx: ah, you didn't mention that part :> you can type out what "ip route" shows then
[23:34] <mo0p> Hello, is any one having issues with XBMC in Ubuntu 14.04? It uses Kodi rather than XBMC gotham and my IPTV Simple Client will no longer work :(
[23:34] <daftykins> join #kodi
[23:35] <mo0p> hehe thx
[23:37] <tofupunx> "default via 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 proto static"
[23:38] <tofupunx> "192.168.1.0/dev eth0 proto kernal scope link src 192.168.1.35 metric 1"
[23:38] <tofupunx> "255.255.255.0 dev eth0 proto static scope link"
[23:39] <plasmasnake> i discovered weechat's IRC smart filter a couple of days ago... what a difference, without the constant joins/parts i can actually read this channel now
[23:39] <daftykins> yeah that doesn't seem right
[23:39] <tofupunx> 192.168.1.35 being my static IP and 255.255.255.0 the gateway
[23:40] <plasmasnake> 255.255.255.0 can't be your gateway, looks like a subnet mask
[23:40] <daftykins> ^
[23:40] <mo0p> Anyone had luck with installing XBMC Gotham from source on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[23:41] <daftykins> tofupunx: no a gateway is your router IP
[23:41] <daftykins> mo0p: don't.
[23:41] <tofupunx> oh man!
[23:41] <flashdeux> add gotham repos
[23:42] <flashdeux> then install xbmc
[23:42] <flashdeux> not kodi
[23:42] <plasmasnake> tofupunx: if you have a typical home setup your gateway is your router's IP, probably 192.168.1.1
[23:42] <user4> 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] <plasmasnake> right, what daftykins already said
[23:43] <plasmasnake> user4: weka can do that
[23:44] <plasmasnake> 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] <plasmasnake> 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] <plasmasnake> or document vector maybe, can't remember
[23:45] <user4> plasmasnake: thank you for your suggestion, I'm going to check that package now
[23:45] <tofupunx> yea gotcha plasmasnake... just rebooting as the change still didn't seem to get it working
[23:46] <user4> plasmasnake: is weka a GUI tool btw?
[23:46] <plasmasnake> user4: yes it's a GUI tool
[23:46] <plasmasnake> user4: i hope i'm not going overkill though haha.. it's sort of like killing a mosquito with a sledgehammer
[23:47] <EriC^^> user4: are they separated by newlines
[23:47] <EriC^^> i mean spaces
[23:47] <user4> EriC^^: yes
[23:47] <EriC^^> sed 's/ /\n/g' /path/to/file
[23:48] <EriC^^> that will give you a list with each word on one line
[23:48] <EriC^^> you'll need wc and sort -u maybe for the rest
[23:49] <plasmasnake> 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] <tofupunx> thanks dafykins, plasmasnake for the help, seems it was my mistake that was the problem... now working!
[23:50] <plasmasnake> nice
[23:52] <EriC^^> 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] <EriC^^> sorry it's pretty messy, it works though
[23:55] <plasmasnake> 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] <plasmasnake> it can do stuff like "stemming" (so e.g., "dog" and "dogs" would be counted the same)
[23:56] <plasmasnake> 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] <user4> EriC^^: plasmasnake thank you for your reply guys, I'm going trying to understand those
[23:58] <plasmasnake> np
