synireHow would one find the path of an application installed using terminal?00:11
zykotick9synire: "whereis foo"00:11
synirezykotick9: thanks!00:11
zykotick9synire: fyi, that _might_ not work...00:12
zykotick9synire: infact, i like the output/info from "which foo" better (but, both assume you used apt/apt-get/aptitude to install)00:14
synirezykotick9: sure did00:14
synirezykotick9: I found an alternative, "locate" seems to work for it.00:16
natalyHi, how do I install this patch - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1296275  ???00:16
wafflej0ckzykotick9, thought which used the path00:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1296275 in gvfs (Ubuntu Utopic) "PTP Cameras not working on 14.04, works flawlessly on 12.04" [Low,Triaged]00:16

ubottuPackage which does not exist in utopic00:16
wafflej0ckman page says: which  returns  the  pathnames of the files (or links) which would be executed in the current environment, had its arguments been given as commands in a strictly POSIX-conformant shell.  It does this by searching the PATH for00:16

zykotick9wafflej0ck: for real fun try "dpkg -S foo" for the path to all files installed from package with full paths ;)00:17
wafflej0cksynire, locate you need to use, sudo updatedb after installing things for it to update the index00:17
wafflej0ckzykotick9, hmm thought that one was -L ... will have to check man on both of those too00:17
zykotick9wafflej0ck: lol, ya -L is WAY better00:18
synireShould I run updatedb everytime after apt-get install? or is there a auto update every x time?00:18
wafflej0cksynire, not sure, man updatedb or man locate00:18
wafflej0cksynire, ah says daily cron00:19
zykotick9wafflej0ck: tbo i never liked/used locate because of the whole updating thing.  i'll break down and use find if it comes to that ;)00:19
zykotick9synire: ^00:19
synirefind sublime_text00:19
wafflej0ckzykotick9, yeah find can definitely be useful but more complicated00:19

WillWHey all, I'm trying to get an NTFS folder on a network share using samba, but I always have permission denied. EXT4 works fine. Here is my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9652569/ and here is smb.conf(if necessary): http://paste.ubuntu.com/9652575/00:19
cryptodanWillW: the fstype is not ntfs-3g but ntfs00:20
WillWcryptodan: neither ntfs nor ntfs-3g work00:21
Buntunub_well.. is ntfs-3g a recognized switch?00:21
Buntunub_in Linux00:21
natalyany idea how to get PTP camera (casio) to work in 14.04?00:21
wafflej0cksynire, the sublime text executable is actually just subl I'm pretty sure, not sure about the syntax for the find command there are typically flags you need to set00:21
cryptodanWillW: can you access it via file manager?00:21
WillWthe ntfs-3g partition is mounted and working the way its supposed to00:22
WillWyes00:22
cryptodanthere is no NFTS-3G File System00:22
Buntunub_try dropping the -3g00:22
cryptodanNTFS*00:22
WillWuh sure00:22
Buntunub_the rest of it looks fine to me00:22
cryptodanand you do not need samba to access a physical drive that is in the machine00:23
WillWthe ntfs-3g partition is games and doesnt need to be on a network share anyway00:23
Buntunub_you will need to remount after00:23
cryptodanWillW: there is no such thing as a NTFS-3G file system00:23
WillWcryptodan: ok ill get rid of it.... what do you mean i don't need samba?00:23
Buntunub_samba is for windows file sharing across a network00:24
cryptodanSamba is used for networking with windows or creating a domain controller in linux00:24
synirewafflej0ck: Thanks, I'll read that manpage for "find"00:24
WillWcryptodan Buntnub_: Well yes I'm trying to share one folder across the network, and it needs to be win-compatible too00:24
WillWis there a better way?00:24
Buntunub_are you sharing from Linux to windows or windows to Linux00:25
cryptodanWillW: by the looks of it the drive is local00:25
WillWcryptodan: yes it is00:25
cryptodanthen you do not need in it in fstab the way it is00:25
Buntunub_well then you don't need samba to access a local drive such as with a dual boot00:25
WillWOk i'll clarify:00:26
WillWtwo PCs00:26
rsullyI have a GTS 450 I'm trying to test (14.04.1 live cd) - I upgraded my mobo's bios incase that was it, but I still can't get it to show up under `lspci` and I don't see anything obvious in dmesg00:26
WillWone with windows and ubuntu00:26
WillWsharing that NTFS folder over the network00:26
WillWthe other is ubuntu00:26
WillWneeds to access that folder00:26
cryptodanWillW: http://askubuntu.com/questions/247341/mounting-samba-share-in-using-fstab00:26
Buntunub_just reading back what you typed there.. you are trying to test a video card and lspci does not show it on the Ubuntu bux00:27
Buntunub_box00:27
Buntunub_?00:28
WillWcryptodan: will this make the folder accessible from windows machines?00:28
natalycant get pics from casio camera in 14.04 - used to work in 12.x?! any ideas?00:28
rsullyyeah - I don't care about trying to use the video card, I just want it to show up (use it for cuda, etc)00:28
Buntunub_does it show up on the windows box?00:28
rsullyI don't have a windows box00:28
Buntunub_ahh ok lol00:28
rsullythe previous owner was using it fine in their dell tho00:28
Buntunub_ok so its a pcie card?00:28
rsullyyeah pcie 2 x1600:29
Buntunub_sure its plugged in fully?00:29
cryptodanWillW: from windows you will need to add the same username and password and setup samba to become a domain controller00:29
rsullyI've tried reseating it :/00:29
Buntunub_ok np.. sounds like you are missing a driver00:29
Buntunub_weird that lspci does not at least see something though00:30
rsullyI figured it would show up in a hardware listing even without a driver00:30
rsullyor even a mention in dmesg00:30
WillWcryptodan: lastly, the folder needs to have guest access so anyone can put stuff in it00:30
Buntunub_yeah the kernel should at least see something there00:30
cryptodanWillW: thats not adviseable00:30
WillWcryptodan: I know, but this is my home network, and its really just a filesharing folder00:31
Buntunub_did you try to load the Nvidia driver using the Ubuntu driver install thingy00:31
rsullyno, I suspect I have to add the universe repo for that?00:32
Buntunub_correct00:32
cryptodanWillW: in windows can you actually see the ubuntu machine?00:32
Buntunub_you can check nouveau see if it supports your chipset00:32
Buntunub_otherwise you use the proprietary blob00:32
natalyso i have a PTP camera (casio) and i think i have this bug - and here is the "fix" - wtf do I do to implement this fix --> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/177343655/libgphoto2_2.5.4-1ubuntu1_2.5.4-1ubuntu2.diff.gz00:33
WillWcryptodan: I think so, I can check in a few mins, but right now, nautilus on the client machine can see the "windows network" and access folders in there00:33
rsullythe graphics card chipset that is?00:33
cryptodanWillW: so the Windows machine is sharing the content?00:33
rsullynouveau lists gts 450 as compatible00:33
Buntunub_then try using it first00:34
revohappy 2015 every one00:34
cpt_yossarianhappy new years :)00:34
rsullyBuntunub_ any idea how I can tell which nvidia-graphics-drivers-* package i need?00:35
WillWcryptodan: Yes, the windows/ubuntu machine is sharing the content, with guest access. Any other windows/ubuntu machine needs to be able to access it from the network, without a login00:35

revo05question ??? How do i open jpg files in ubuntu ???00:37
Buntunub_that is the xserver for it yeah00:38
cryptodanWillW: then follow the link I linked too00:38
WillWcryptodan: Ok, will do, thanks00:38
Buntunub_try this rsully https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia00:39
WillWcryptodan: wait wait wait, no, this is to mount a folder already on the network, mapping it to a local folder. I'm trying to do the inverse.00:39
WillWI have a local folder that needs to be networked00:39
rsullyBuntunub_ tried that with "installation without X" but ubuntu-drivers is an empty list since it can't see the card00:40

Buntunub_so install the binary blob and you can also have neauvou00:42
Buntunub_nouveau00:42
Buntunub_you can switch00:42
rsullyah ok00:42
Buntunub_you need to append your xorg.conf00:42
WillWcryptodan: Host PC ubuntu/win has folder. Folder needs to be network accessible.00:42

cryptodanWillW: what are you doing again you are not making any sense00:43
rsullyI just want to (a) verify it will/can work for future VM passthrough and (b) be able to test using it for computations00:43
cryptodanWhat machine do you want to be the server?00:43
rsullyBuntunub_ looks like nouveau is already installed btw00:44
WillWcryptodan: Ubuntu is the server00:44
Buntunub_yes it should be00:44
Buntunub_you probably just need to append your xorg.conf00:44
cryptodanWillW: and are the /media/ mounts physical drives?00:44
rsullythat would only matter if i wanted to use the card in X00:44
WillWcryptodan: Yes00:44
rsullybut the problem is much lower level - the system doesn't even see the hardware00:44
Buntunub_yeah that's why I am leaning to the proprietary00:45
cryptodanWillW: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide00:45
Buntunub_just install the nvidia blob00:45
Buntunub_easy to install the nvidia driver on linux these days00:46
rsullyright but there isn't just 1, there is a whole list of them and I don't see any listing that says card A = driver B00:46
Buntunub_did you try the nvidia website00:46
WillWcryptodan: Yes, samba is configured, and I have success sharing a physical EXT4 partition over the network00:46
rsullyno, the nvidia site recommends to use the nvidia blobs provided by ubuntu00:47
WillWcryptodan: But, the other PCs have a "permission denied" error when accessing the networked NTFS folder00:47
rsullyill try their generic ones00:47
WillWcryptodan: MY smb.conf(share defs are at the bottom): http://paste.ubuntu.com/9652575/00:48

englishlearnerot: what channel is best for learning english? where people write in correct grammar/structure? thx00:50
cryptodanIf your ext4 works why not move everything to it?00:50
Buntunub_your asking the wrong crowd00:50
acerspyroenglishlearner: Likely support channels with pro users.00:50
Buntunub_linux devs are the last people to ask about grammar00:50
acerspyroNot here anyways.00:51
Buntunub_unless its about C or C+00:51
englishlearnerthanks00:51
WillWcryptodan: Because the Server PC has windows on it, and its sharing it too, when I'm booted into windows. Windows cannot read EXT400:51
acerspyronp00:51
rsullyBuntunub_ alright installing from that ppa00:52
rsullyit did something that completely messed up my display00:53
WillWcryptodan: There is some sort of windows hack maybe to read EXT4 but I'd much rather not mess with windows00:53
rsullyit looks super zoomed in and stretched00:53
Buntunub_get rid of your xorg.conf00:53

Buntunub_the cd?00:55
rsullyits all in ram?00:55
Buntunub_no I don't think ti works like that00:55
rsullyyeah it does00:55

Buntunub_but the driver wont kick in till you reboot00:56
WillWrsully Buntunub_: you CAN install the drivers from live cd but you really shouldnt00:56
rsullyyeah but thats fine for testing :)00:56

rsullyI'm lucky that I have a terminal window open00:59
cpt_yossariandoes anybody have any experience w/ installing the intel graphics stack on 14.04? is it normally a long process with their GUI installer?00:59
Buntunub_honestly the best way to test if a distro works on your system is to install it as dual boot or on another drive01:00
cpt_yossarianit's been chugging along for about 10 minutes now at 100% cpu...01:00
Buntunub_only so much you can do from a live environment and it will never really tell you much01:00
rsullythe only thing I am trying to do is see if this pci card would work01:01
Buntunub_and TBH.. Linux will usually always work except in few cases these days01:01
rsullyyeah like right now :p01:01
Buntunub_if you install it dual boot your system will work fine01:01
WillWTBH.... linux never works correctly out of the box, but thats the fun of it01:01
Buntunub_and you will still have windows01:02
Buntunub_yes correct will01:02
Buntunub_but his nvidia card is very well supported in Linux01:02
rsullyyes unless the PCI slot is broken, or the card somehow died01:02
rsullywhich is what I'd like to find out01:02
Buntunub_i thought you said it worked fine under windows when I asked you01:03
rsullyit worked on the previous owner's gaming rig01:03
rsullyI have never used it in this motherboard01:03

rsullyBuntunub_ server01:06
rsullyWillW nope, just mobo's vga01:06
rsullymy display is hooked up to VGA now01:06
Buntunub_web server.. file server..01:06
WillWrsully: what? if its for server use why the graphics card01:06
Bashing-omrsully: IS this Nvidia card added, where formerly you were using an onboard graphics chip ? If so might re-arrange the video priority in bios .01:06
rsullyWillW 2 uses: passthrough to windows VM, use for gpu programming01:07
rsullyBashing-om I didn't see any video priority in bios01:08
WillWHmm... maybe theres a way to test the functionality of the card remotely?01:08
=== `Yoda is now known as Yoder
cryptodanSo its a dual boot environment WillW?01:10
WillWcryptodan: yes01:10
Bashing-omrsully: The video priority settings may be cryptic . Look carefully if formerly you were using onboard video .01:10
cryptodanWillW: that is the issue01:10
WillWcryptodan: the NTFS partition is separate from the boot partition, and windows isn't in hibernate or anything01:11
cryptodanWillW: you need a dedicated server machine not a dual boot environment01:11
rsullyBashing-om well the other interesting part to this is I am using ubuntu live usb to boot. but as I had mentioned, I wasn't even seeing this card with `lspci` or in dmesg01:11
WillWcryptodan: well I don't want a dedicated server, I'm using windows 7 and ubuntu desktop01:11
WillWcryptodan: just wanna share a folder on it01:11
cryptodanWillW: thats how shares work01:12
cryptodanWillW: you need a dedicated machine not a dual boot system01:12
WillWcryptodan: So what you're saying is Ubuntu can share EXT4 folders, and windows can share NTFS, but neither of them can share both?01:13
cryptodanWillW: if ubuntu is down and not powered on or booted into that ext4 is not there and same with windows01:13
WillWcryptodan: I'm a bit confused now01:14
cryptodanWillW: is ubuntu and windows on the same computer?01:15
WillWcryptodan: yes01:15
cryptodanthen what you are doing is not doable WillW01:15
WillWcryptodan: well hang on, 3 partitions: windows NTFS, shared NTFS, and linux EXT401:15
cryptodanNo can do as a server01:16
WillWcryptodan: even when windows is powered down, not in hibernate?01:16
cryptodanI thought you had one dedicated Ubuntu Machine and Windows Clients01:16
WillWsh01:16
WillWah01:16
cryptodanpermissions come into play in linux that are not manageable on linux01:16
WillWcryptodan: Yes, NTFS cant do permissions, but the entire partition can be mounted with the same permissions, which is acceptable in my case. Is there no way to use this?01:17
cryptodanNope not for what you want01:17
WillWScrew this im writing my own kernel01:18
cryptodanWillW: it has nothing to do with the Kernel01:18
WillWOS01:18
cryptodanIt has everything to do with your non-dedicated environment01:18
WillWcryptodan: Any chance you can give me a technical rundown of why it can't happen?01:19
cryptodantwo operating systems cannot be booted and running at the same time01:19
rsullyBashing-om yeah just went through bios, no video priority01:19
WillWcryptodan: again, one system will be COMPLETELY powered down01:19
rsullyjust went and grabbed an hdmi display to use with the gfx card to see if maybe when the vga messes up the card starts to work01:20
earthrockastill having trouble getting dvds to play after installing ubuntu-restricted- extras and libdvdread401:20
earthrockaanyone know where to go after this01:20
earthrockasome dvds will play others wont01:20
cryptodanon linux the ntfs file system is not manageable to the point of what you are wanting to do you still needed a dedicated windows server or a dedicated linux server with a configured samba to act as a domain controller01:20
earthrockai got another machine running ubuntu and dont have this prob ... but for some reason i cant get them to play on this laptop lol01:21

WillW_2is the folder on EXT4 or ntfs01:50
RNevilleEven though I can see the folder "Documents" on the Ubuntu machine from the Windows machine01:50
RNevilleI think the folder WillW_2 is an EXT4 folder01:50
ilhamiI must have been mentally away that day.01:52
ilhamiI seriously don't remember anything.01:52
WillWRNeville: So to be clear up to this point, you haven't set up share defs through smb.conf, and you've right clicks on the folder in nautilus and added a local network share, correct?01:52
WillWRNeville: Assuming thats the case, but anyway whats the permissions on that folder01:53
RNevilleI used the Samba Server Configuration gui to set up a folder" Documents" to be accessable by all01:53
RNevilleMy Windows 10 machine see the folder, but I get a permissions error for this folder when I try to open on Windows machine01:54

RNevilleI can't access this "Documents" folder from my Windows 10 box02:04
=== deww_ is now known as deww
RNevilleOf course, I can access it from the Ubuntu machine - which it is on!02:04
WillWRNeville: Ok, remind me again what the intended result is, I switched computers during this convo. Are you adding another folder, or did you want to make changes to Documents?02:05
HarrryWFrom what i have gatherd, he wants to acess his "Documents" folder from his windows 10 box02:06
HarrryWWillW:02:06
RNevilleI want to be to access the "Documents" folder on a Windows machine on my LAN - which I can't do. I can see the folder on the windows machine but not access it02:06
WillWRNeville: OK, gotcha, 1 min02:07

RNevilleYes, unfortunately02:09
HarrryWi have seen some photos of it02:09
HarrryWis it nice?02:09
WillWRNeville: uncomment "browseable = yes" and add02:10
WillWread only = no02:10
RNevilleYes, the first couple of builds were stable, but last few have been constantly trying to update02:10
HarrryWah right, that kind of sucks02:10
HarrryWim gonna stick with 7 ultimate for the moment02:10
HarrryWits really nice02:10
RNevilleYes HarrryW , I would stick with 702:11
RNevilleWillW: thx02:11
HarrryWI mean, the underlying functions and whatnot of windows 8 are ment to be great, but it feels really weird for some reason to me when i use it02:11
WillWRNeville: I forgot, after that, do this command02:11
WillWsudo /etc/init.d/samba restart02:12

RNevilleI'm a complete newbie to Linux, so I'm not sure how to use chmod to set permissions on samba.conf in order to change this file02:13
RNevilleany help appreciated02:13
Zergling316good evening02:13
Zergling316every boot ubuntu performs a complete disk check02:14

RNevilleEven though I can see the folder on the Windows box02:19
WillWRNeville: You've restarted samba after applying the changes to smb.conf?02:20
RNevilleyes, could I have a problem on the Windows side of things?02:20
gr33n7007hyou could use python -m SimpleHTTPServer if you have python02:20
WillWRNeville: possibly but unlikely02:20
RNevilleI ran the sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart02:21
WillWRNeville: do you want guest access or just access for people in your domain?02:21

netf0xHey guys, let me start by wishing everyone a lovely new year...02:47
wafflej0ckchocolate, how is this an ubuntu support issue, if it isn't this isn't the place for a discussion you may want to try #ubuntu-offtopic or some other more pertinent channel02:48
netf0xIs there anyway I could run the gnome version which comes with 10.04 on 14.04 and install the Emerald theme manager and Compiz settings manager?02:48
wafflej0cknetf0x, not sure about emerald or compiz but you may want to check out Mate since it is a fork of the older gnome if you don't like Gnome 302:48
rwwthere's probably plenty of ways, none of which are not a terrible idea02:48
xanguanetf0x: or you could use ubuntu mate 14.0402:49
netf0xwafflej0ck, Thanks ;)02:49
rwwemerald isn't maintained at all, compiz is pretty much dead, the only bit I'd go with is GNOME, which as others have said is usable as MATE02:49
netf0xxangua, Awesome!02:50
netf0xrww, Shame really, good things never last :)02:50
wafflej0cknetf0x, I'm honestly a big fan of Gnome 3... liked Gnome 2 as well back in the day but I'm happy with the direction things are going02:50
netf0xwafflej0ck, Me too and I don't mind Unity. It's just that I had a particular setup on 10.04 and would love to replicate it on the newer version.02:52

reggie-manShould I download and install things from their official website, or through the default repositories? I was about to download Tor, when I realized there is a Tor in the repositories, as well as on their website, but they don't mention anything about the one in the repositories, which makes me think they don't support it.02:55
wafflej0ckreggie-man, always use apt-get or the software center if it's an available option so you get package updates from the repositories02:55
wafflej0ckreggie-man, you may not always get the latest version this way but you get one tested by the repository maintainers, if you *need* the newest then it's up  to you to compile/install and maintain the updates02:56
reggie-manHmm. I guess so, but why wouldn't they recommend that on their website, wafflej0ck?02:56
wafflej0ckreggie-man, not sure which site you're talking about in particular but I can't really tell you why someone decided to do something can only speculate :)02:57
reggie-manwafflej0ck: I know you can only speculate. I'm talking about the Tor website. https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en02:58
wafflej0ckreggie-man, yeah so projects that don't want to align themselves with one particular distro or maintain the different distribution packages aren't going to point you to something specific to Ubuntu or whatever it may be... nice thing about how they have this setup though is it's a no installer zip like eclipse so you just extract and run no need to actually run an install script, but again updates would be a manual process02:59
reggie-manAlright. Thank you wafflej0ck.03:00
devnull_hi03:01
wafflej0ckreggie-man, lots of sites that "support" ubuntu will have ubuntu specific instructions, but then to appease the red hat guys you have to do an RPM too and so on and so forth for other distributions, some projects they isolate themselves more from the particular distros, and np03:01
wallbrokenhi03:03
wallbrokenanybody of you uses dell xps ?03:04
wafflej0ckhello wallbroken better to ask a specific support question but no I don't (they are nice though)03:04
wallbrokeni'm interested to buy a dell xps 13" developer edition with ubuntu preinstalled, and i need to know if is completely supported03:05
wallbrokenhttp://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd03:06
cryptodanwallbroken: why not get a system7603:07
wallbrokenwhat?03:07
wafflej0ckwallbroken, you mean by dell? seems like a question you'd want to pass by dell support it does appear they would support it though if they include 1 year support03:07
cryptodanwallbroken: www.system76.com03:07
wallbrokenwhat i need to know is about drivers03:07
wafflej0ckI have a sys76 machine though too, I understand they are typically rebranded clevo machines but I appreciate the ubuntu support and have been very happy with it for the last couple of years03:07
wallbrokenmany times happened that ubuntu had not the appropriate drivers for many of peripherals of my old laptops, like webcam, notification leds, standby03:08
rypervencheI'm on a system76 galago (clevo). I love it.03:09
wafflej0ckwallbroken, dell wouldn't be selling it with Ubuntu if those were problems really03:09
wafflej0ckwallbroken, they would kill themselves with the included year of support if everything wasn't working03:09
wafflej0ckwallbroken, drivers for "modern" hardware has typically been very good lately too03:09
wallbrokenthose system76 are horrible, i need a very thin ultabook03:10
ankitamy right click not working on desktop and all icons of desktop and wallpaper gone!!03:10
rypervenchewallbroken: The galago is quite thin.03:11
cryptodanhttps://system76.com/laptops/galago03:11
wafflej0ckwallbroken, well you asked about a laptop with linux support and they're a company that has been doing it for years so it's not a way out of left field suggestion and you didn't say it had to be as thin as paper initially :)03:11
wafflej0ckthe galago is pretty slim too but yeah design wise they aren't typically as fancy as other manufacturers but they work well with ubuntu03:12
wallbrokeni mean "thin" as a macbook air,and i don't need dvd drive reader,03:12
wafflej0ckdell has tried ubuntu laptops on and off over the last few years but I haven't seen them stick to it03:12
Temp46hello?03:12
rypervencheTemp46: Welcome. Do you have a question? :)03:13
cuddylierAnyone any idea how to solve this apt-get -f install error? http://pastie.org/private/imjotadpxuw8pl1euva I'm running ubuntu 12.10 and have already adjusted my sources to the archive.03:13
Temp46is there a torrent client that forces all packets through tun0 and cuts connection if vpn connection is lost?03:13
ankitamy right click not working on desktop and all icons of desktop and wallpaper gone!!03:14
wallbrokenwafflej0ck, that dell has also a touchscreen monitor03:14
synireWhats a good audio/video capture software for a webcam on utopic 14.04?03:14
wallbrokenmaybe is the reason why is too much expensive03:14
rypervencheTemp46: Hmmm, I only use deluge myself, but it looks as though you can choose an interface to use with it. I would assume that it wouldn't work if that interface weren't working. Would need to test it though. I don't know about other clients. I've only seriously used deluge and qbittorrent.03:15
jimmydCheese>>03:16
wafflej0ckwallbroken, ooo yeah it does look nice I can't lie :) I don't think it's an aweful idea but would want to check one out in person and would be good to get a little longer term commitment from dell on support, I really don't find the touchscreen to be too compelling though aside from maybe testing emulated mobile stuff03:16
Temp46rypervenche: thanks for your suggestion :)03:16
ankitamy right click not working on desktop and all icons of desktop and wallpaper gone!!03:16
wafflej0cksynire, yeah Cheese is the basic one guvcview is more complex if you have a more advanced camera can do some cool stuff03:16
wafflej0ckankita, have you tried recovery mode to see if you're having some graphics driver related issue or if it's something else03:17
rypervencheTemp46: qbittorrent also has an interface that you may use under the Advanced options. I think that would do what you like on both clients.03:17
synirewafflej0ck: I got cheese up but I'm not seeing anything for setting up pulling audio and video from the webcam.03:17
wafflej0ckankita, also more info about what you're running will help, lsb_release -a in a terminal to get system info03:17
jimmydyou gotta tweek it03:18
ankitawafflej0ck, xubuntu 14.0403:18
wafflej0ckankita, has this been a problem since initial install or some problem that just started occurring but you've been using it before?03:19
jimmydit froze a coupletime on me in 14.04 but then went ahead and worked fine03:19
wafflej0cksynire, sorry not sure what you mean there, I open cheese and have options for capturing photos or video/audio03:19
ankitawafflej0ck, after install It was running well.but 1 day i started my pc and it went wrong03:20
ankitawafflej0ck, before I tried to install some graphics driver03:20
wafflej0ckankita, okay so you can try nomodeset boot parameter for the kernel to have it use the default graphics drivers instead of whatever you may have installed to see that it's what's causing the problem03:21
wafflej0ck!nomodeset > ankita03:21
ubottuankita, please see my private message03:21
ankitawafflej0ck, how can I do that ?03:21
synirewafflej0ck: I guess the options are conditional on if its detecting the mic? Or possibly the record video function does not do audio.03:21
=== gigi is now known as Guest7526
wafflej0ckankita, see the private message ubottu sent you, long story short, do you have a grub menu? if not use shift to show grub during boot, select your normal startup (should be selected by default) hit e to edit it, you'll see the word "quiet" in the file that opens change that to nomodeset, and hit Ctrl+X, your system will boot, since you took out quiet it will show you all the checks it's doing during startup but then should boot03:23
wafflej0ckwith the basic graphic drivers03:23
synirewafflej0ck: I'm going to check out that guvcview and see if I get different results.03:23
=== Guest7526 is now known as Gigi7526
Temp46rypervenche: it continues on eth0 if tun0 is deleted :/ (qbittorrent)03:23
ankitawafflej0ck,  I got it :)03:24
=== limon is now known as Guest3085
wafflej0cksynire, hmm typically Cheese is the simple way to go and records both audio and video by default I think, but I really rarely record stuff from the webcam usually doing some screen capture type stuff instead, but guvcview is good for adjusting pan/tilt on an orbitsphere camera for hangouts03:24
wafflej0ckalso guvcview just has more options03:24
RNevilleWhen I run the testparm command I don't get any obvious errors, but it doesn repeat all the lines of code in the samba.conf file - like it just skipped over certain commands03:27
RNevilleIs this normal?03:28
jimmydWhats the differenv=ce between synaptic pacage manager and ubuntu software center03:28
rypervencheTemp46: Give deluge a shot then. And if not, we can search online.03:28
Temp46im trying right now03:29
wafflej0ckjimmyd, functionally they are pretty similar but think synaptic marks your updates with priorities03:29
wafflej0ckjimmyd, like security issues vs small bug fixes... could be wrong though I just use apt-get 99% of the time03:30
Temp46when i click apply in the deluge settigns it deletes the interface input field *facepalm*03:30
jimmydIve used apt get too03:30
jimmydmost of the time i just use what ever the default is and from my point of view i don't know if it effects the programs or not03:32
wafflej0cksynire, if you're just having audio issues with the webcam between different GUIs but the video is fine I would probably check out alsamixer and other audio related utils to see if you maybe need to enable/unmute the mic or something03:32
linuxuz3rxS03:32
linuxuz3rxD03:32
wafflej0ckjimmyd, some good points on software center vs synaptic on this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217690303:34
jimmydThanks Wafflejock03:36
wafflej0ckjimmyd, really whatever floats your boat there but just don't ever try to use some combination of 2 installer methods at the same time (lock file should in theory stop this from happening but you never know)03:36

rypervenchesheer: No need for money. What's your question?03:41
cfhowlettsheer, sure.  it's the Year of the Linux Desktop!03:41
jimmydso if you use apt-get then does it tell you if you need an update or do you do it manually time totime03:41
sheerhttp://i.imgur.com/BQxmseQ.png03:41
TheTopBlokegood luck with that03:42
cfhowlettjimmyd, you can set autoupdate options or you can manually trigger updates with apt.03:42
Temp46but i dont understand any of that networking tutorial :D03:42
Temp46i need to take a better look at it some time03:42
rypervencheTemp46: Well, what you are wanting to do is not necessarily a basic user thing :P03:42
Temp46i only used ubuntu for 2 days nothing is easy :P03:43
rypervenchesheer: What is your question along with the image?03:43
sheerhow do i see the things under my external hdd again03:43
sheeris the question03:43
Bashing-omjimmyd: Be aware, update syncs the data bases to your mirror, it is "sudo apt-get update" that updates the software in respect to the data bases .03:43
rypervenchesheer: What do you mean "see"? You just open the folder where your external hard drive is located. Can you tell us what you are trying that isn't working?03:44
sheerOk, I installed Ubuntu the other day. I connected the external drive for the first time last night.03:45
sheerI tried cutting and pasting a file, but the transfer stopped, maybe the cable was moved - the transfer didn't complete and now nothing shows up under "external"03:46
rypervenchesheer: Was there anything else on the external drive before that or was that the only file that you tried to transfer?03:47
cfhowlettsheer, suggest you use the command line so you can see what's happening e.g. cp sourcefile.foo targetfile.foo03:47
sheerthe drive was almost full03:47

sheerBut his is that relevant to me?03:54
cfhowlettsheer, this will let you see if your file copies from point A > B03:55
sheerso should I try to copy it to the external HDD?03:55
cfhowlettsheer, exactly.  a simple text file will suffice03:55
sheercan't even get the DIR right yet03:58
sheercfhowlett, would you mind spelling it out for me as if this is the first time i've used a PC?04:00
cfhowlettsheer, no problem04:00
cfhowletthttp://paste.ubuntu.com/9653162/04:00
droid99sheer, really? first time?  *please dont ban me*04:01
cfhowlettsheer, cp = "copy" -v = "verbose" (lots of feedback).  you're targeting an external device so /media/username/target directory      in this case, my USB/PRINTING directory04:02
cfhowlettsheer, "mount" or "lsusb" will display connected devices04:02
sheerit at least knows it's a western digital drive connected04:03
sheeri'm having trouble getting the directory right04:04
cfhowlettsheer, run the mount commnad04:04
sheeralright so /media/me/EXTERNAL but now for my desktop dir04:05
cfhowlettsheer, line 20 = /dev (device)/sdb  (/sda is your primary HDD, next is sdb ...) 4 is the 4th partition on the device04:05
sheermy lines aren't numbered,04:06
cfhowlettsheer, read the content and find your device04:07
sheer /media/me/EXTERNAL, that's done04:07
sheeri need my desktop dir for the .txt file04:07
sheercfhowlett, cp: cannot create regular file ‘/media/zvi/EXTERNAL/test.txt’: Input/output error04:09
cfhowlettsheer, there it is.  i/o means one of your storage devices is funked up or is configured incorrectly04:10
sheercfhowlett, what would one do about that?04:12
cfhowlettsheer, backup immediately, stop using it and replace.  but backup first.  did I mention backup?  cause you really should backup.  NOW04:12
sheerIDK how I'd back it up - most of the data I don't need, just a few documents04:13

cfhowlettdaftykins, sir, put the eggnog down and step away from the keyboard ...04:19
daftykinssheer: can you run "sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"04:19
daftykinscfhowlett: but :(04:19
Loshkigsmartcontrol is the gui version, makes it idiot-proof...04:19
cfhowlettsheer, gsmartcontrol is recommended.  run it to test your hard drives.04:20
daftykinsno point running tests, just give us the smarctl output04:20
LoshkiAlso, SMART does *not* work over USB, very annoying that...04:21

sheerlol05:09
sheerif linux is so great why do i need windows to deal with this :)05:09
cfhowlettsheer, linux is not guaranteed against hardware failures ...05:09
droid99yup, the hd is not intended for server use05:11
droid99not surprised, that it'll fail05:11
sheerjust funny that it fails when i'm about to deal with it05:12
sheerand back it up05:12
sheerso to back it up I need a drive larger than 1gb and what else?05:13
cfhowlettsheer, unplug until you are ready to backup. every read/write on that drive brings it closer to failure05:14
sheeroh lol -__-05:14
sheerso i've been helping it fail now05:14
cfhowlettsheer, well we WERE hoping to be wrong, but as even a USB change doesn't seem to bring it back, I'd say the problem is safely localized to the device itself.  sorry about that.05:15
cfhowlettsheer, in the future, perhaps a cloud based backup + secondary onsite?  for example, dropbox + USB copy of essential files?05:16
droid99sheer, you can return the hd to vendor05:18
daftykinslarger than 1TB i hope, not 1GB ;)05:18
sheermight anyone have a recommendation for excellent external hdd's that won't break?05:36
sheerand also non external drives recommendation to back things up safely since i assume non external is safer05:37
daftykinsi actually am always fond of WD05:38
daftykinsjust go for what you can get with the longest warranty length05:38
cfhowlettsheer, WD seems to be the default for external HDD.  Get a name brand, not the el cheapo knock-off05:38
OerHeksthey don't make bad drives anymore05:39
wafflej0cksheer, anything with mechanical parts is subject to and will eventually fail but most drives that fail typically do so in a short period of time after they are first used05:42
rypervenchesheer: I always go WD.05:43
cfhowlettsheer, this ^^^. also: exactly why you should have 2 or 3 backup options.  cloud + a hand USB for the most critical has worked well for me.  YMMV05:43
wafflej0cksheer, there is no silver bullet to storage, depending on your needs different types of storage can be better or worse, personally I have a NAS with a couple of WD drives in it that just mirrors for my personal stuff05:43
wafflej0ckalso most of my important stuff is code so that gets synched to a remote git repository05:44
wafflej0ckalso use OwnCloud (used to use DropBox but have switched recently)05:44
wafflej0ckTarSnap seems like a good option for offsite encrypted backups too again depending on your needs05:44
gansteedonce ubuntu released, all the packages will NOT upgrade anymore(except security updates), right?05:45
cfhowlettgansteed, not necessarily.05:45
gansteedcfhowlett: ?05:46
cfhowlettgansteed, critical updates, backports, kernel upgrades ...05:47
cfhowlettgansteed, for example, the samsung brick upgrade, heartbleed ...05:47
OerHeksgansteed, i may hope so packages get updates after release05:47
gansteedcfhowlett, got it05:48
gansteedOerHeks, i hope so, too. for example, virtualbox, docker and so on05:49
daftykinsgansteed: there are always PPAs05:49
duoi_ghosthi all, how can i have a single command ("sudo service network-manager restart") run on resume from suspend?05:50
wafflej0ckgansteed, yeah some of those things will update themselves as well like virtualbox I believe checks on start05:50
gansteedi don't like ppas, it's a little bit slow05:50
daftykinsgansteed: 'slow' ? what?05:50
gansteeddaftykins, i mean network speed :)05:50
daftykinsthat's highly dependant on a given PPA, so not *ALL* PPAs are necessarily slow05:51
OerHeksoutside launchpad yes05:51
wafflej0ckyeah depends on target server, traffic in between etc. etc. internet speeds are complicated05:52
gansteeddaftykins, :D05:52
gansteedvirtualbox PPA in oracle, Docker PPA in docker.io, these 2 are really really slow :(05:53
wafflej0ckI don't use a ton of PPAs but when I don't recall ever really thinking about the network performance much though... only thing in recent history I can think of that took some time to install was the ievms script but that downloads a bunch of huge virtual machine images of windows so that's understandable05:53

CobaltHello merry new year. Now I have an Apple Magic Trackpad linked to my desktop via bluetooth. Ubuntu 14.10 erroneously thinks this it has a laptop battery at 18%. I also have a bluetooth keyboard which it thinks is at 0%. It occasionally reports that my device is critically low at 0% and disconnects the trackpad. How do I stop this from happening?09:49
nomicthey're not standard devices - they're apple -- that is really a pc problem -- maybe ask in #hardware Cobalt09:50
nomicnot a linux problem - a hardware problem09:51
Cobaltnomic: Why are there 3 launchpad bugs filed against this then, with one stating it's been fixed, but with a buggy patch that has some regressions in it?09:52
Cobaltnomic: Same issue with other brands of bluetooth devices.09:53
CobaltSpecifically I want to know where this event is triggered and then I can turn it off, ie, noticing that the device is at 0% and disconnecting it - there has to be a script that disconnects the device; it has to be hardware agnostic. I need to take down that script.09:56
shiggitayCobalt, that sounds like an annoying issue...   I hope you get it resolved.10:01
educan anyone tell me how to install a package from a third party file (like a zip) that I download from a site?10:14
Cobaltshiggitay: It is annoying, though not fatal. So yeah, just need to find where this event is triggered and take off the script/rule.10:20
shiggitayyeah10:20
shiggitayI wish you luck :)10:20
CobaltBut I think Linux has gotten so complex now things are difficult to troubleshoot.10:21
shiggitayI'm working on something myself that's just as frustrating.... making an initramfs that knows where my tablet's SD card is so I can boot. lol10:21
CobaltAh. That may be why I never managed to get my SD card reader to work on my netbook.10:21

SburI have a question about my Ubuntu 14.10 (64 bit) system.  When I boot it, it tells me that my screensaver is VERY OLD and invites me to upgrade it.  Should I do that, or is it a scam?10:57
Sburone detail ... it is in "Low Latency" mode at the time10:57
ararobSbur, how does it tell you that?11:02
Sburararob: Popup11:02
HiddenCloudhello, I want to make my system trim my root directory on every boot11:04
HiddenCloudI've seen that this can be done by putting fstrim -v / in rc.local11:04
HiddenCloudbut I have /home on a HDD11:04
HiddenCloudhow do I exempt /home?11:04
Sburararob: It says "Warnng This version of xscreensaver is VERY OLD! Please upgrade.http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ (If this is the latest version that your distro ships, then your distro is doing you a disservice.  Build from source.)"11:06
ararobSbur, sounds fishy, yes. Only popup i get in ubuntu is when there's an update notice in ubuntu official resporatories.11:08
Sburararob: But, aside from running clamtk or something like that, how do I get rid of that?11:08
HiddenCloudhow do I switch to root user again?11:12
cfhowlett!root | HiddenCloud,11:12
ubottuHiddenCloud,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo11:12
HiddenCloudyeah I know11:13
HiddenCloudbut there's a command that lets you switch to other users11:13
cfhowlettHiddenCloud, su otheruser11:13
HiddenCloudyes thanks11:13
ararobSbur, check your process manager if anything suspicious. kill it, and do "updatedb && locate applicationname", if you're sure that's the one. Then switch to root and delete it. But personally, i'd just reinstall ubuntu, because you never know what else is lurking there.11:13
kostkonSbur, is it ubuntu or some other derivative?11:14
Sburararob: I'm a n00b with that kind of thing.  I am not sure I could find and determine what is suspicious or not. But reinstalling Ubuntu, I can only conceive doing after a backup of my data11:15
CodmadnessproHow would I get my .sh script to startup on boot?11:16
Sburkostkon: Ubuntu 14.10 (Low latency) whatever that means11:16
kostkonSbur, do you remember installing xscreensaver?11:16

kostkonSbur, probably xubuntu (or xubuntu-desktop) comes with xscreensaver by default11:19
kostkonSbur, is it ubuntu or xubuntu?11:19
Sburkostkon: I never installed Xubuntu.  I have both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio on different partitions of the same computer11:20
kostkonSbur, i think studio uses xfce so it must have come from there11:20
Sburkostkon: So killing or uninstalling xscreensaver is a good thing or a dangerous thing to do?11:21
cfhowlettSbur, ubuntustudio uses xfce.  as xscreensaver has been proven to conflict with lightdm/locker, I've disabled it11:21

feurdHi. Is it possible to connect my two computers with ssh, in root, both of them having the same ssh key?15:13
imbezolfeurd: sure. copy the .ssh folder from one to the other15:16
imbezolfeurd: that is.. /root/.ssh15:17
imbezolfeurd: you'd make the key on one, and copy it (specifically the id_dsa or id_rsa file) over to the other15:17
imbezolfeurd: make sure you also replicate the permissions on the folder and files15:18
feurdimbezol: well, that's what I did. I sync the /root/ of one onto the other, so they have the same thing. But now I can't connect anymore15:18
imbezolfeurd: what are you connecting from?15:18
imbezolfrom system 1 to system 2 and vice versa?15:19
imbezolor is there a third system that connects to both?15:19
feurdI try to connect my desktop to my laptop. It worked before, because they both had their key. Then I synced my desktop onto my laptop, so they now have the exact same /root/ folder. But I can't establish a connection anymore15:19
BluesKaj_feurd, whynot just use normal ssh from one to the other15:19
feurdno third system15:20
feurdit's a root to root connection, so I need a keyed conneciton15:20
imbezolfeurd: what's the log say? it should tell you why the key was not accepted15:20
BluesKaj_feurd, seems you made the connection more complicated than it needs to be15:20
imbezolfeurd: or try with ssh -v to get more verbose messaging15:20
feurdactually, it does not even ask me for a key passphrase. Just the standard password.15:21
imbezolfeurd: that's like it's way of telling you it's not using the key. that usually indicates the permissions are not correct15:21
imbezolfeurd: that will get logged so you can check to be sure15:21
feurdPreviously, when I attempted a connection, it asked for the key passphrase. Now, it just asks for the session password. But in root, it's not sufficient.15:21
imbezolfeurd: yup. check the perms first15:22
feurdBut I connect in root. So I have all permissions. No?15:22
feurdOooh15:23
feurdmaybe I should add the pub key in the authirized_keys file?15:23
imbezolunless you check the log it's guesswork15:23
feurdwhere can I see the log?15:24
imbezol/var/log/syslog15:24
imbezolor /var/log/auth.log15:24
imbezolbut yeah.. if you overwrote the authorized_keys file you'll need to fix it15:25
feurdnothing in the log by the way15:25
feurdnot this one at least15:26
=== Guest47744 is now known as sherlock_regus
imbezolok. probably the keys file then15:26
imbezolit's the server that logs it15:26
imbezolbut if you run the client with ssh -v then you'll see it request key auth and what the server answered15:26
MoltenSlagramchandra: I'm using like 10% of the partition, I don't want to copy 90% of empty encrypted data15:27
ramchandraresize it and then copy?15:27
MoltenSlagramchandra: good call, I'll try this way then, thanks15:28
feurdimbezol: It worked.15:29
imbezolgreat15:29
imbezolfeurd: how are you syncing /root?15:30
imbezolfeurd: would it make more sense to sync just a couple directories within so you don't overwrite?15:30
imbezolfeurd: or you can use something like rsync to do the sync and tell it to exclude the .ssh directory15:31
feurdimbezol: well, right, I don't know what's the best option. If they have the same key, I can do exactly the same things with both.15:32
feurdimbezol: I just created the sync script. I'm still wondering how to configure it the best15:34
imbezolfeurd: unless you need all the hidden folders etc in there just sync a subdir or two15:34
imbezolfeurd: or use rsync..15:35
feurdI already use rsync15:35
imbezolfeurd: --exclude=.ssh/15:35
feurdI know. But then, all the keys in authorized_keys and known_hosts would not be shared, which means that I could not estabish the same connections with my laptop and my desktop15:37
imbezolfeurd: --exclude=.ssh/authorized_keys15:37
imbezolfeurd: up to you :D15:37
feurdI'll see what is the more practical15:38
imbezolyou can put a system's own key in there too15:38
imbezolso you could just create an authorized_keys that has both their keys15:38
imbezolbut since the private keys are the same too... probably the same anyways15:38
BluesKaj_feurd, no need to be root, just share the required files on each computer then run ssh from one to the other , it's really quite simple15:39
feurdBluesKaj_: I need to be in root to sync the root folder15:39
BluesKaj_but why ?15:39
feurdwell, if I don't connect to the root session of the other computer, then I don't have access to files15:40
imbezoli guess the question is what are you doing as root that you need to sync the files across?15:40
BluesKaj_you just ne3ed to share those files15:40
=== niexukang__ is now known as niexukang
imbezolnormally you'd work as a normal user where your files are accessible by them rather than root15:41
imbezolgenerally you're not working on documents etc as root15:41
SchrodingersScatI am also concerned by that.15:42
feurdSorry, I'm a bit lost. My goal is for my two computers to have (partially at least) the same root folder. And I don't think I can achieve that without connecting in root. Am I wrong?15:42
imbezolwhy the root folder though?15:43
feurdWell, first, to have the same settings on both15:43
pennais there any trick when I have installed libstdc++.so.6 and a program complains: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found15:44
pennaglibc installed too15:44
imbezolfeurd: same settings for what?15:44
feurdshare the same scripts15:44
feurdthe same aliases15:44
BluesKaj_did somebody advise you to share the root folder between pcs?15:44
Jpmhif I switch using ctrl-alt-F1 why does this stop the processes that are working in my graphics ctrl-alt-f7 login15:44
feurdI find it pretty conveniant. Is it that bad?15:45
imbezolfeurd: for scripts you might want to do something like create a /usr/local/sbin/ directory, put them there, and sync that folder15:45
BluesKaj_Jpmh, try ctrl+alt+F815:45
imbezolfeurd: that is, assuming these are scripts  you need to run as root for some reason15:45
feurdI have scripts that I launch in root mode15:45
imbezolfeurd: it's your system so you can do as you like of course but i'm just curious what the heck you're doing as root all the time lol15:46
JpmhBluesKaj_: 1) I do not believe that I have such a task and 2) even if I did, why?15:46
imbezolfeurd: so much so that you're doing root on both systems all the time15:46
feurdWho said I was in root all the time? I just have several scripts, aliases, etc, that I have in root, and I would prefer to sync them. For all the rest, I use my standard account.15:48
BluesKaj_Jpmh, when you drop to a TTY/VT usually the return to desktop is ctrl+alt+F7, works ok here but I don't run unity so i'm still on X server here15:48
=== LazyO|off is now known as LazyO|Off
JpmhBluesKaj_: yes, I am aware of that.  My question is why does the F7 process get paused, this is a multi user, multi processing OS15:49
feurdFor example, I've seen that to backup the entire system with rsync, it's better to run it in root to guarantee the permissions remain the same15:50
BluesKaj_Jpmh, dunno why , that's new one one on me15:51

guest-4ODtLaHello there!15:56
daftykinshi15:56
guest-4ODtLaI think I've reached a critical situation after forgetting my password for Ubuntu 12.04 system15:56
guest-4ODtLaI found a solution15:57
guest-4ODtLahttp://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/09/recover-lost-passwords-in-ubuntu-12-04-recovery-mode/15:57
guest-4ODtLaCan I get some help regarding this? I'm not sure about using command: mount -rw -o remount /15:58
nomiclive CD.15:58
guest-4ODtLaIs there any threat to data?15:58
daftykinsguest-4ODtLa: it's enabling write access so you can change the password, has to be done15:58
daftykinsjust do it :P15:58
imbezolguest-4ODtLa: when you boot into recovery mode the / partition is set read only.. that just sets it read write so it can remember the password change you do15:58
guest-4ODtLadaftykins, So I can just go ahead with that link? imbezol15:59
guest-4ODtLaand shoot those commands?15:59
daftykinsyour alternative is: none15:59
guest-4ODtLaDon't scare me -_-15:59
guest-4ODtLaSay yes/no?15:59
imbezolguest-4ODtLa: you can't set a new password without writing to the drive16:00
guest-4ODtLaIs my data safe?16:00
imbezolguest-4ODtLa: by your tone it sounds like this data is very important16:00
daftykinsjust get on with it :)16:00
guest-4ODtLaimbezol,  Just confirm that everything will remain the same as it was before16:01
guest-4ODtLadaftykins, Ok16:01
guest-4ODtLaimbezol, Indeed, it is!16:01

KamalKaurimbezol: Hey!16:15
KamalKaurI got my things there only :D16:16
SleePyMy Ubuntu server keeps crashing.  I just watched it do it again.  Doesn't even shutdown just looks like a power loss.  Is there a place I can look in the logs to try and see if something got logged before power was completely lost?16:16
KamalKaurimbezol: But loast some settings16:17
KamalKaurlost*16:17
ikoniaSleePy: if it's a power loss, it's not an ubuntu problem16:17
SleePyHasn't crashed since I removed the storage array.16:17
ikoniaSleePy: ubuntu can't log anything if the power is going16:17
=== KamalKaur is now known as guest-4ODtLa
SleePyDarn.  Motherboard doesn't log those entries either :|  Guess its a good old manual ignore the raid alerts and test each drive one by one.16:17
guest-4ODtLaimbezol: There?16:18
imbezolSleePy: likely a power supply issue16:18
imbezolguest-4ODtLa: you don't lose settings by changing your password so something else caused that16:18
guest-4ODtLaimbezol: I'm unable to change brightness16:19
ikoniaSleePy: ignore raid alerts ?16:19
guest-4ODtLaand icon size goes to default16:19
SleePyikonia: I removed my storage drives.  4 1TB drives in a raid 1016:19
ikoniaSleePy: how where you configuring the raid on them ?16:20
SleePyWhen Ubuntu is up, it shows them resyncing, but not rebuilding16:20
SleePymdadm16:20
ikoniawhy do you expect them to rebuild ?16:20
ikoniathey should not be rebuilding16:20
SleePyI don't expect them to.  But I just noticed the status was active, resyncing16:20
ikoniawhy is that bad ?16:20
imbezolSleePy: it probably doesn't crash without the drives because of the lowered power requirements16:21
SleePyWell the server hasn't crashed since I removed the drives.  By logic, putting the drives back it will crash once the array is up and it tries to start syncing again16:21
imbezolSleePy: try a new / bigger power supply16:21
SleePy700 watt power supply for 4 full size drives, 2 laptop drives (raid 1 OS) and 3 fans16:21
SleePyIt should be plenty.  Has been running 5 months with this configuration no problem16:22
imbezolSleePy: video card is one of the biggest users.. but even if it "should" be enough.. they do die on occasion16:22
ikoniaSleePy: does the power just die on it, or does it reboot ?16:22
SleePyNo video card in this.  Onboard only16:22
SleePyIts losing power.  I see the fans spin down and then spin up as it auto restarts16:22
ikoniait's losing power ?16:23
imbezoli've said my piece. good luck :)16:23
ikoniadoes the power just cut, or does it reboot16:23
SleePySeems like it.  I'm not losing power where its at because the TV is plugged into the same outlet and hasn't turned off16:23
SleePyPower cut it seems like it.16:23
ikoniaSleePy: so it just powers down, and you have to power it back on ?16:23
SleePyUbuntu doesn't go through the shutdown phase, I just see video lost and then the bios screen16:24
ikoniaso it's rebooting then16:24
ikoniait's resetting16:24
SleePyIt auto reboots on power failure16:24
ikoniaSleePy: turn off auto reboot in the bios16:24
ikoniaSleePy: then put the drives back in16:24
ikoniait's important to know what's actually happening16:24

koyunbabahi! i have a problem with xubuntu 14.04, the notification icon of dropbox is always missing! I can't find the solution on web...can anyone help me?16:27
SleePyActually, I have "Restore on AC/Power loss" set to "Power Off"16:29
ikoniaSleePy: so that sounds like a panic16:29
SleePySo it would have to be rebooting I think, but its a instant reboot like somebody is hitting the reset16:29
ikoniaas opposed to a power loss16:29
ikonialook in the syslog to check the status of what it's been doing16:29
ikoniaSleePy: do you have a monitor/screen on this system16:29
globkoyunbaba: type lspci16:30
SleePyikonia: I just hooked it up over vga.  It has a HDMI hookup to the screen, but overscan issues on my tv prevent me from using hdmi during bios configs16:31
ikoniaI suggest you monitor the screen16:31
SleePyYes16:31
SleePyI also have pings going and they drop out16:31
koyunbabahttp://pastebin.com/eAtg4Wvp16:31
ikoniaof course they will drop16:32
ikoniayou're system is powering off16:32
ikoniawhat do you expect ?? what good is pinging the machine ?16:32
SleePyWell when I was watching movies in the other room and they stopped working, it was my basic tests to see what was going on16:32
ikoniawatch the screen and see if there is any message such as a panic when it reboots16:33
jagmeethello there Happy new year! I have accidently deleted my data from my home folder in ubuntu. Can you please suggest me some procedure to recover it.16:33
ikoniaalso let the raid arrays rebuild, do nothing on the system until they are in a clean state16:33
vrooomIs it easy to change from Unity to Gnome? I really dislike Unity.16:33
SleePyThere are none, just goes black and then the ASUS bios screen shows up16:33
imbezoljagmeet: backups are likely your only option16:33
vrooomIs it just the graphics or what happens to all my files when I change?16:33
imbezolvrooom: you can have several different desktop environments installed and switch freely between them16:34
imbezolvrooom: if you find you don't like gnome you can switch back to unity16:34
jagmeetimbezol, is there any recovery software or like that for ubuntu?16:35
imbezoljagmeet: it's more dependent on the filesystem than the distro16:35
imbezoljagmeet: you can do some googling on the particular filesystem you're using for your homedir but i think you'll find you're out of luck16:35
imbezoljagmeet: unless you had backups or some sort of cloud solution16:36

guest-4ODtLaI'm unable to change brightness from anywhere16:38
jagmeetimbezol, okey can you please suggest me some software, which can recover data on filesystem ext4?16:38
tewardloostro: if you create the individual virtual machines with bridged networking then your home router sees the VMs as individual devices16:38
loostrodoes this require additional hardware? (specialised router or something)? or is it all software installed on my host machine?16:39
SleePyWell now it won't even get past the bios.  Not an Ubuntu issue at all..  Seems like power supply or a bad drive16:39
tewardloostro: if you use double NAT, then you port-forward to the host machine, and on the host machine you set up NAT rules in VirtualBox to forward further into the VMs16:39
tewardloostro: any standard router works, it's all part of VirtualBox,.16:39
imbezolguest-4ODtLa: i don't have the answer for that16:39

xeniphonSo far Firefox has caused no crashes, although playback in firefox is choppy.17:32
th3_mol3hi, I'm using Ubuntu 14.0417:32
th3_mol3under the sound button at the top it has a list of audio applications17:32
th3_mol3just wondering if there's any way to remove or add them17:32
xeniphonThe video in chrome is very nice and smooth, but all the window decorations are gone; panel is gone, launcher is gone.17:32
xeniphonI attempted to fall back on an old standard (twm) and found that something in the Unity collection of *stuff* has completely claimed the menu bar and moved it away, so even TWM is more challenging than it should be.17:33
foxletth3_mol3: If you mean the applet under the volume menu, as far as I know, no.17:35
rayqth3_mol3: see this link http://askubuntu.com/a/46883917:35
Seveasxeniphon: you shouldn't be using unity with twm :)17:35
foxletth3_mol3: Not without going into dconf.17:35
xeniphonwhen unity crashes and I can't manipulate any windows, I attempted to bring up _any_ window manager to help me get around.17:35
xeniphonTWM and MWM were my first fallbacks, and you're right - they don't get around.17:36
dunpealOK, apparently my installer is failing since I am trying to install grub over a hardware RAID0 setup.17:36

Seveasxeniphon: switch youtube to html5, maybe it's the flash crap making it crash.17:37
th3_mol3ty foxlet, rayq17:37
xeniphonMy standard tricks  - CTRL-ALT-Backspace --- init 3; init 5; -- mwm...  None of them help me get out of whatever wedged process I have, and Unity is a complex beasty indeed.17:37
daftykinsxeniphon: probably because zapping is disabled as default, ubuntu doesn't use runlevels and so on17:38
jhutchinsxeniphon: init 3 = init 5 in ubuntu.17:38
Seveasxeniphon: c-a-bksp has been disabled eons ago, and runlevels don't matter anymore either. So all those things are no-ops.17:38
xeniphondaftykins, jhutchins;  I get it.  Fine...17:39
Seveastime to drag yourself into the 2010's :)17:39
xeniphonI still get rather well and wedged.  I hate that CTRL-ALT-F1, CTRL-ALT-DEL is my MOST EFFICIENT way to get back in operation.  I want to find the broken piece and fix it.17:39
daftykinsyou can still get to TTYs and restart lightdm17:40
xeniphonseveas; and how would I switch youtube to html5?17:40
xeniphondaftykins a restart of lightdm errors out.17:40
Seveasxeniphon: https://www.youtube.com/html517:40
foxletth3_mol3: In terms of adding an app, you could try manually writing a .desktop for your app, then adding it to /usr/share/applications and editing the values in dconf.17:40

davido_Quite annoying; you don't realize how much you use the scroll wheel until it stops working.18:02
feurddavido_: I had the same issue with my mouse. I changed for an other one and it was ok. So it might be a driver issue.18:02
feurdIs it a razer or a cybord by any chance?18:03
davido_feurd Possibly, but if so, it's been introduced as a regression, because it worked fine from 2011 until last week.18:03
davido_feurd: just the generic one that came with the pc years ago.18:03
davido_(I'm not that into hardware :)18:04

g105bI'm a bit confused about all the different desktop environments out there... is Ubuntu currently using Gnome in any way?18:32
jrtappersIs there an easy way to tell which company is at fault for a server not being accessible from one connection, but available from others?18:32
rwpjrtappers, Observe the routes using traceroute.  See where one works and one doesn't.  Point fingers then.18:33
jrtappersrwp, Thats about where I am18:33
rwpg105b, You can always install GNOME or KDE or LXDE or XFCE or whatever but the default at install time is Unity.18:33
monstafter displaying an image to TTY1 with fbi, how can I reset back to console?18:33
k1l_g105b: unity is based on gnome. if you want gnome-shell as standard see the gnome edition.18:33
g105brwp: ok I just thought Unity was the launcher on top of Gnome... it looks similar.18:33
g105bk1l_: I see18:34
rwpRegarding routing...  On the larger Internet everything is mostly handled with handled with BGP to dynamically route around breakage. But sometimes it is broken anyway.18:34
k1l_g105b: it is a shell for gnome like gnome-shell is. just another shell :)18:34
jrtappersHaving to use ssh over ssh tunnel to access the server...18:34
g105bWhat is the global/local menu feature a part of.... is that gnome?18:34
rwpg105b, Looking similar is only an indication that they were influenced by similar ideas. It is quite different code.18:34
k1l_g105b: you mean the menue bar? that is unity, which is a compiz plugin18:35
g105bk1l_: now you see why I'm confused :) compiz comes from where?18:35
pl1xany idea why the fan only runs loud when i use ubuntu/linux on my toshiba tecra notebook?18:35
k1l_g105b: compiz is back from the gnome2 times. it was used for the 3d cube etc eyecandy stuff. gnome has mutter for that since gnome3.18:36
k1l_but unity still uses compiz even on the gnome3 base. the gnome shell uses mutter for that stuff.18:37
bug_sniperhow much disk space does ubuntu desktop take?18:38
OerHeksbug_sniper, 7 gb+18:38
bug_sniperI see18:38
bug_snipermaybe I'll install the server instead or just go with puppy linux18:39
g105bk1l_: so on the whole, compiz is just hanging around for the odd feature here and there?18:39
feurdI don't know if someone here uses i3, but when I have 3 windows in a row, how can I stack only twho of them?18:40
k1l_g105b: no. unity was build "inside" compiz so they need to keep it even on the gnome 3 base. for the new unity8 (which will work on MIR) there will be no compiz involved. its just that for the old x-server unity no one wanted to do the complete rewrite.18:40
g105bI think I understand, thanks.18:41

johnb003I have 4x drives which I'd like to use as part of a raid and to add a few more drives in the process of setting up my raid. Do I need all the discs to be the same size?20:21
[R]i guess thats easiest20:21
johnb003or can the new ones be bigger? will it impact the raid? I'm thinking Raid-Z or something20:22
bekksjohnb003: Technically, no. But the you will be wasting the delta of the bigger disks.20:22
bekksjohnb003: RAIDZ is something which is available using ZFS only. In case of ZFS, you should redesign your approach, since it works fdifferently from conventional RAID solutions.20:22
johnb003well, I currently am not using a hardware raid, nor a fs based raid20:23
johnb003I have a backup-style raid20:23
johnb003it does a snapshot every so often to form the pairty20:23
johnb003I don't really like it though, it seems fragile20:24
bekksjohnb003: That makes no sense: "it does a snapshot every so often to form the parity".20:24
johnb003the concept is that the data doesn't change much20:24
johnb003but after thinking about it I have the same problem with it20:24
johnb003that you're intuitively having20:24
johnb003that's why I want to change it20:24
bekksjohnb003: However, using ZFS, you should get yourself more deeper into the specifics of RAIDZ1-320:24
johnb003would you recommend anything other than ZFS?20:25
upyeclipsezermelo frankel set system?20:25

Guest9830Hi everyone! I'm trying to setup an IRC on my server. I'm using XChat and it keeps saying I have to install identd (?) after I tried installing . Can someone guide me a little bit ?20:26
johnb003ok I'll go read about RAIDZI-320:26
johnb003was the i a typo?20:27
bekksjohnb003: Yes :)20:27
[R]Guest9830: sounds like you should properly configure your server to not require identd20:27
bekksjohnb003: you can start here: http://zfsonlinux.org/docs.html20:27
Guest9830Guest9830 is that a safe thing to do?20:27
Guest9830Oh wait, I'm replying to myself xD [R] I meant20:28
daftykinsGuest9830: sounds like you need to do a fair bit more reading :P20:28
[R]well no sane server requires it to begin with...20:28
johnb003bekks: one of my big questions is will I be able to setup my raid with data on the drives currently?20:28
johnb003I may double my storage to be able to do it...20:28
daftykinsyou may notice in most connection logs, it reads "got no ident response"20:28
bekksjohnb003: No, thats impossible.20:28
bekksjohnb003: And impossible regardless of ZFS.20:28
johnb003can't be impossible :P20:28
johnb003can I grow my raid after I create it?20:29
bekksjohnb003: Well, so invent, copyright, trademark and sell it :)20:29
bekksjohnb003: Depending on the specifics of your RAID, you may be able to grow it afterwards.20:29
johnb003if I double the storage and setup the new raid with the new storage, then copy all the data in from the initial drives.20:30
johnb003Once added, I can then wipe the old drives and add them on to the raid20:30
johnb003that's my thinking anyway20:30
bekksjohnb003: Thats depends on the specifics of your raid.20:30

ikoniahence "kernel panic"21:18
ikoniait's booted the arch kernel - and it's panicing = arch problem21:19
bekkshelasraizam: Arch is unable to identify the block device you specified to be the root filesystem. Thats a Arch linux problem, and has nothing to do with grub/ubuntu.21:19

OerHeksfirst thing i check is the date at the end of the page22:47
pryordawafflej0ck: could it be bash-completion doing its inital cache22:47
pryordaand its just expiring?22:47
wafflej0ckpryorda, suppose so but really not sure where you'd want to look next, I mean iotop, ntop, top/htop are typically my go to for performance things but since it's intermittent that makes it more difficult to debug22:49
wafflej0ckalso since it's a pretty short window for the delay it may be hard to see when that's happening exactly, would be better to have tools like top that can run over time but I'm not aware of any22:50
wafflej0ckprobably exists though nothing is coming to mind22:50

knoboCan anyone help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225173022:59
knoboI get libGL error: Version 4 or later of flush extension not found when I start glxgears22:59
knoboand "libGL error: failed to load driver: i915"23:00
SchrodingersScatupyeclipse: that will skip files that start with . though, and also not copy directories.23:00
upyeclipseok files that start with '.' is not a problem but directories might be.23:02
daftykinsknobo: what graphics hardware? what driver is in use?23:02
upyeclipsei guess there is a way to copy everything?23:02
upyeclipsehow do unmount a flash drive?23:02
daftykinssudo umount /mount/point -or- /dev/sdX23:03
knobodaftykins: how do I find out? lshw... I'll try23:05
daftykinslspci23:05
daftykinsdriver, i would read /var/log/Xorg.0.log23:05
upyeclipsedaftykins, an point=path?23:06
daftykinsupyeclipse: a mount point is the path it is available on yes23:07
knobodaftykins: something like this: II) intel(0): Using Kernel Mode Setting driver: i915, version 1.6.0 2008073023:07
knobodisplay:0 product: Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller23:07
daftykinsknobo: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" might be easier for me to see what i'm thinking of. what kernel are you on also?23:07
upyeclipsesudo umount /media/staffan/PYBFLASH23:07
knoboconfiguration: driver=i915 latency=023:07
upyeclipsedaftykins, should the /mount/point be replaced entiely like that ^23:08
upyeclipsenothing happens...23:08
daftykinsupyeclipse: Linux doesn't make it known when a command succeeds23:08
knobodaftykins: Linux integer 3.16.0-28-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Fri Dec 12 17:38:37 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux23:08
daftykinsupyeclipse: type "mount" or "df -h" to recognise whether a device is still mounted23:08
knobohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/9656745/23:08
daftykinsknobo: ok, looks like the driver is working fine. somehow missing libraries then, i don't know anything about openGL packages though23:09
upyeclipsedaftykins, ty. it worked. but when you unmount graphically the symbol disappears from the bar on the left. now it was unmounted but the symbol was still there23:10
daftykinsupyeclipse: i fail to see the relevance :)23:10
knobodaftykins: ok, thank you for the help.23:10

NinjaCowboyI booted up my computer today, and now all of the Unity menus look like this. http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2015-01-01_17_37_27-ts3yDyUh.png I tried rebooting, but it still persists. How do I fix it?23:41
CodmadnessproHow would I get my banned.txt file from /home/playmcpe/server to goto /var/www/bans.domain.com/ every 10 minutes maybe?23:47
bubbasauresNinjaCowboy, I don't use unity so missing the problem, however you can reset unity and compiz23:47
NinjaCowboyHow?23:48
bubbasauresNinjaCowboy, Info on the web pr release, had you included the releases I would have a link, now it's up to you. ;)23:48
NinjaCowboyI did try uninstalling and reinstalling the light-themes package, but it didn't fix it.23:48

NinjaCowboySorry, forgot to mention it. I'm using 12.04 x86.23:50
SchrodingersScatCodmadnesspro: that keeps it updated, guess you could cron a cp23:50
CodmadnessproWhat's the interval on that schrodinger?23:51
SchrodingersScatCodmadnesspro: ln should treat it like the same file, cron you can set by the minute23:52
