[00:08] <dtzitz> is there an easy way to format a usb and make a bootable live usb inside of ubuntu?
[00:11] <Pencil2> dtzitz you need Unetbootin from software center
[00:12] <dtzitz> Pencil2: could i just use the 'make starup disk' thing i just found
[00:13] <dtzitz> oh, i need the ISO
[00:13] <k1l> use the startup disk creator
[00:13] <k1l> but yes, you need the iso
[00:13] <dtzitz> going to see if I can find the ISO on my windows partition
[00:15] <Cardil> Wszystko tu jest 3 wymiarowe
[00:15] <dtzitz> Cardil: OMG ME TOO
[00:24] <evgenius123> Hi all. Can you help me with some graphics settings?
[00:24] <phre4k> evgenius123: just ask
[00:24] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: yeah sort of, close to calling it a night
[00:24] <evgenius123> How to change texture filtering from anisotropic to nearest (openGL mesa, 14.04 LTS)
[00:25] <evgenius123> glxinfo just show it, can't change
[00:25] <droid> any good web cams for ubuntu
[00:26] <bubbasaures> droid, Many that work fine, not really a direct support issue is all.
[00:26] <droid> is c920 compatable
[00:26] <droid> logitech c920
[00:26] <evgenius123> whatabout texfilterchanging?
[00:28] <evgenius123> If you can't help me, what channel can do this?
[00:29] <evgenius123> local russian ubuntu-ru sleep now, 3:29 AM
[00:29] <daftykins> texture filtering isn't relevant to a desktop
[00:29] <daftykins> evgenius123: is this in a game?
[00:29] <defrit> nvidia/amd?
[00:30] <evgenius123> nvidia geforce
[00:30] <evgenius123> 610m
[00:30] <defrit> try nvidia x server settings
[00:30] <evgenius123> i use nuveau
[00:30] <daftykins> what are you trying to achieve?
[00:31] <evgenius123> pixeled texture on HL1 like software-rendering
[00:32] <evgenius123> not soapy and slimy like now
[00:32] <daftykins> yeah, you're going to need to install the nvidia proprietary drivers.
[00:32] <daftykins> also, 610m sounds like you have an nvidia optimus setup, so you might have some fun there
[00:32] <evgenius123> nvidia freeze-while-touchpad-using bug
[00:33] <daftykins> your hardware suffers from a bug when using the nvidia driver? you're out of luck then
[00:33] <evgenius123> if i use touchpad, picture on display freeze rzndomly
[00:33] <evgenius123> *randomly
[00:34] <evgenius123> ctrl+alt+f1 - ctrl+alt+f7 fix problem while another freezing
[00:35] <evgenius123> i cant disable texfiltering in nuveau?
[00:35] <daftykins> i sincerely doubt half life 1 is using anisotropic filtering
[00:35] <daftykins> with nouveau
[00:36] <evgenius123> its just use some bad filtering, i dont know which, but exactly not nearest
[00:37] <evgenius123> my english is so russian, sorry
[00:37] <daftykins> the HL1 engine has a lot of gl_ commands you can mess with to adjust mipmapping
[00:37] <daftykins> hard to tell what you're seeing though
[00:38] <evgenius123> don't work, i don't know reasons
[00:38] <daftykins> so you've tried some?
[00:38] <daftykins> #ubuntu-steam exists also
[00:38] <evgenius123> yep, thanks)
[00:41] <evgenius123> ubuntu-steam sleep too
[00:42] <daftykins> it's a bad time in general
[00:42] <evgenius123> in MSK 03:42 now... in UTC 23:42?
[00:43] <evgenius123> in USA near 20:00, where all at this time?
[00:44] <evgenius123> daftykins, where located opengl config file?
[00:44] <evgenius123> that glxinfo showed
[00:45] <daftykins> no idea
[00:45] <evgenius123> bad
[00:46] <tcpdump> is there anyone who runs ubuntu on a laptop? I'm wondering how long would normally take when opening the lid until you get the password prompt. on a macbook pro running macos it's almost instantly but if I put ubuntu, it takes 3-5 seconds to wake up..
[00:46] <evgenius123> im on laptop now
[00:47] <PreSSion> hi, some way to enable the screen keyboard in the installion step in ubuntu=
[00:47] <PreSSion> ?
[00:48] <defrit> No references to aliasing in the nouveau driver manual. use nvidia driver
[00:48] <tcpdump> evgenius123: how long does it take to wake up from suspend to ram?
[00:48] <evgenius123> from hypernation?
[00:48] <evgenius123> or from sleep mode?
[00:50] <tcpdump> from normal sleep mode
[00:51] <evgenius123> from sleep mode it takes 2-3 seconds AND hardware slowpokeing near 5-7 secs
[00:51] <eeee> tcpdump: i just tried mine PM: resume of devices complete after 5492.802 msecs
[00:52] <tcpdump> EriC^^: uh, 5.5 seconds is quite a while..
[00:52] <EriC^^> i have an ext hdd attached an an iphone though, intel core i7
[00:52] <evgenius123> laptop Asus k53sd
[00:52] <tcpdump> I'm thinking of moving away from macos but I quite like the instant wake from sleep..
[00:53] <daftykins> macs aren't designed for ubuntu, so that it even resumes from sleep should be impressive :)
[00:53] <evgenius123> stay at macos, is POSIX OS too IMHO
[00:53] <EriC^^> yeah i'll try without the ext and and iphone lets see if it matters
[00:53] <tcpdump> daftykins: haha, yes, I wanted to see if a 'normal' laptop resumes quickly or also takes a few seconds
[00:53] <evgenius123> I know one guy who installed Windows8 on MacBook Pro
[00:53] <evgenius123> WHY!&
[00:53] <evgenius123> ?
[00:54] <tcpdump> evgenius123: I still run macos 10.8, I dislike all the new 'features' and all the 'call home' advertising built in
[00:54] <daftykins> too much time on their hands ;)
[00:54] <eeee> tcpdump: it felt instantaneous this time
[00:54] <eeee> let me check dmesg
[00:54] <eeee> PM: resume of devices complete after 1582.676 msecs
[00:54] <tcpdump> eeee: do you get the delay in dmesg?
[00:55] <tcpdump> 1.5 seconds is excellent
[00:55] <tcpdump> what brand/model do you have?
[00:55] <eeee> intel core i7
[00:55] <evgenius123> wowowow my eng dictionary too little for understanding so many text :-)
[00:55] <eeee> hp pavilion g6
[00:55] <tcpdump> great, thanks for that
[00:58] <Guest16726> Hi ! When using glade witch a VteTerminal Widget, i got a Gtk::Builder error saying "Invalid object type `VteTerminal'".
[00:59] <Guest16726> There is something to do ? Google search has not anything about. Only Python docs about. I am using C++.
[01:01] <Guest16726> There are any channel specialized in "programming for Ubuntu" ?
[01:02] <EriC^^> /msg alis list *ubuntu*dev*
[01:02] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: Okay.  Thanks for your help today and yesterday.
[01:02] <EriC^^> Guest16726: ^^
[01:02] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: how far did you get?
[01:02] <BlueProtoman> dafty: I finially remembered my ecryptfs passphrase!  ...Except now when I run "sudo ecryptfs-mount-private" I get the error "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly".  Now what?
[01:02] <jaskell_> Is there a way to tar (compress) a folder, that excludes large files (e.g. anything larger than 50 MB)?
[01:02] <BlueProtoman> *daftykins
[01:03] <jaskell_> the folder may have nested folders in it
[01:03] <evgenius123> where xorg.conf located?
[01:03] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: i don't know the first thing about encryption i'm afraid
[01:03] <daftykins> evgenius123: there isn't one anymore, /etc/X11/
[01:03] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: That's okay.  Still appreciate your help.
[01:03] <daftykins> no problemo :)
[01:04] <evgenius123> there was 3 xorgconfs
[01:04] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: i didn't see a reply in the end, did you get something to connect a second disk externally?
[01:04] <evgenius123> 4
[01:04] <evgenius123> xorg.conf.%randomdate% * 3 + xorg.conf.failsafe
[01:04] <BlueProtoman> daftykins: Not yet, but I haven't tried, I wanted to see if I could retrieve my data first
[01:04] <daftykins> ah right
[01:05] <daftykins> evgenius123: only "xorg.conf" would actually get used, so if there isn't one it will need to be created to set any settings
[01:05] <daftykins> BlueProtoman: cool, good luck o/
[01:06] <Crell> Evening folks.  I've 2 systems on the same network; one is able to resolve a given DNS name, the other not.  The DNS name was configured ~2 hours ago.  (It's a subdomain on a domain I control.)
[01:07] <Crell> I am assuming a cache issue (because it's always caching), but I tried clearing the dns cache with /etc/init.d/dns-clean restart and it's still not loading.
[01:07] <Crell> What's my next step here?
[01:08] <daftykins> Crell: CLI utils to confirm a dig response with the same DNS server for your host
[01:08] <Crell> Well the working device is my Android phone on WiFi; I don't think it has dig on it.
[01:08] <Crell> The non-working is a Kubuntu laptop.
[01:09] <daftykins> well check what DNS your phone is grabbing and query that from the desktop
[01:09] <daftykins> *laptop
[01:09] <Crell> Running dig on the laptop, interestingly, says that it can resolve the domain in question to the correct IP.
[01:09] <Crell> It's not coming up in my browser, though.  Interesting...
[01:09] <daftykins> does KDE use resolvconf?
[01:10] <Crell> I do not know.
[01:10] <daftykins> perhaps you must either wait for a wider spread propogation, or remove resolvconf and put nameservers into /etc/resolv.conf to bypass it
[01:12] <Crell> Damnit!  Found the issue.
[01:12] <daftykins> do tell?
[01:13] <Crell> I had a stray line in my hosts file from some testing last week with another box. :-(
[01:13]  * Crell shows himself out.
[01:13] <daftykins> ah, same host hardcoded?
[01:13] <Crell> Yep.
[01:13] <Crell> I had forgotten it was there.
[01:13] <daftykins> doh! ah well, good spot :)
[01:13] <happyfr0gg> Hello, I want to create a backup of my Ubuntu Trusty install. What backup tools should I look into?
[01:13] <daftykins> !backup
[01:13] <Crell> I realized it when testing with ping.
[01:14] <Crell> I hate it when I accidentally set myself away... damnit, how do I undo that?
[01:14] <k1l_> /back or /away without reason
[01:14] <Crell> Thanks.
[01:14] <k1l_> or alt+a (depends on client)
[01:15] <PreSSion> hello, i am installing ubuntu in my surface pro 3, but i can't type nothing cuz my keyboard don't work, is it some way to enable the screen keyboard at installion of ubuntu?
[01:15] <Crell> Ctrl-Shift-A in this client.  I just disabled the keystroke entirely.
[01:15]  * Crell wanders off to figure out why his new vhost file is not routing properly now.
[01:17] <phunyguy> so if you tell ubuntu to install security updates only, does it ignore kernel updates until a full update?
[01:18] <happyfr0gg> I don't recall but I think there is a backup tool for making backups of installed software and their repos. What is this tool called?
[01:20] <PreSSion> hello, i am installing ubuntu in my surface pro 3, but i can't type nothing cuz my keyboard don't work, is it some way to enable the screen keyboard at installion of ubuntu?
[01:23] <chrlsdrnt> PreSSion: Can you not just run Ubuntu from the live CD and launch setup from there?
[01:23] <OerHeks> PreSSion, good start for surface pro 3 , https://github.com/rubiojr/surface3-ubuntu-trusty
[01:23] <chrlsdrnt> you should be able to use the onscreen keyboard from within
[01:26] <PreSSion> thanks, but what do i must download over here? https://github.com/rubiojr/surface3-kernel
[01:26] <PreSSion> because there are a lot of stuff
[01:26] <PreSSion> sorry, i am just a waiter!
[01:27] <PreSSion> i did change a kernel one day
[01:27] <PreSSion> i know how to do it
[01:32] <OerHeks> that surfacepro needs a lot of patching with any new kernel, as far as i understand that docs, closed ms hardware
[01:39] <dbarros> how do I tell the kernel command line setting to "resume" from a swap partion on a Logical volume?
[01:42] <GeekMan1222> hi how would i go about making my linux server wake on lan when a power failure is over. Already have the system configured for WOL and the router has the MAC for the linux server. Is it possible?
[01:43] <GeekMan1222> is it already set to do that so say when the house router turns on it automagically sends the magic WOL packet out?
[01:45] <superdingus> Does anybody have experience with applying IPS patches? I'm trying to use xdelta3, and either I'm doing it wrong, or that's not the right package for what I'm trying to do
[01:45] <renebarbosa> senso
[01:45] <renebarbosa> ops
[01:50] <andlabs> Is there a freeze schedule for the universe repo, or does it run on the same scheudle as main ubuntu repositories?
[01:53] <Crell> OK, ssl question.  I have configured a self-signed SSL cert, using the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/certificates-and-security.html
[01:53] <Crell> I've setup an apache conf file to use them, using the default-ssl.conf as a template.
[01:54] <Crell> After restarting apache, though, it's not accessible in my browser.  "Can't establish connection."  Apache's error log has no errors.
[01:55] <Crell> And I just realized the issue.
[01:55] <Crell> I really need to stop doing this.  Thanks for the rubber ducking!
[01:56] <Crell> Which now brings me to a security question.
[01:56] <Crell> I've a domain, foo.com, that is mapped to my home network, behind the NAT of which is a server.  Works now.  However, I want to do things like file sync between the two.
[01:57] <Crell> Er, between that server and a laptop, sorry.
[01:57] <Crell> I can access it now.  But... the SSL connection didn't work until I setup forwarding on my router for port 443.  Which makes me think that any traffic would be routed out of the network and back in, which aside from the performance issues makes me nervous from a security perspective.
[01:57] <Crell> Am I right to be concerned, and what's the proper solution if so?
[01:58] <nrst4n> [02:55] <mrst4n> Hello hello, I have a question about something mixing netcat, c programming and linxu terminal. Since I don't know the exact terms on how to ask my question, I don't want to ask StackOverflow since I will fore sure re ask something already asked, and they will absolutly KILL ME for that
[01:58] <nrst4n> linux*
[01:58] <andlabs> no they won't
[01:59] <nrst4n> Most of the time, I just end blocked because of that, does anybody mind if I ask here ?
[02:01] <andlabs> if the question was already answered then it'll just be closed but no one would get mad at you for not knowing your terminology
[02:01] <andlabs> as far as Iknow, anyway
[02:01] <andlabs> that's counterproductiv
[02:01] <andlabs> e
[02:01] <andlabs> I could be wrong about the parts of the system you are asking about
[02:01] <andlabs> whatever the case, go ahead
[02:05] <michaelgamble> hey for whatever reason my external drive now mounted with a duplicate name but with a number at the end, so all my services that point to assets on that drive dont konw what the hell is going on
[02:05] <michaelgamble> what might cause my drive mount name to suddenly change / how do i fix it
[02:06] <michaelgamble> *ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition
[02:07] <NotNice> Hello
[02:08] <luises> hellos
[02:09] <michaelgamble> nm i fixed it
[02:09] <rww> andlabs: it's on the same schedule as main
[02:09] <andlabs> ok, thanks
[02:10] <Bashing-om> michaelni_: UUID ?
[02:10] <andlabs> also
[02:10] <andlabs> is there a version of ppapurge that doesn't require aptitude?
[02:10] <andlabs> (unrelated)
[02:12] <Guest16726> dbarros : N├Żo entendi a pergunta. Voc├¬ quer desabilitar o swap em uma parti├¦├Żo ?

[02:13] <Anusien> So I had a computer (we'll call it computer A) that worked fine until there was some unknown hardware failure, I think to the MOBO. I finally got Computer B working. I want to use the data off hdisk from Computer A in Computer B. They are totally different architectures (amd64 versus x64). Can I somehow tweak the hdisk to boot computer B?
[02:14] <xangua> Anusien: what's your ubuntu question?
[02:14] <andlabs> Anusien: amd64 == x64
[02:15] <Anusien> xangua: What do I do to get ubuntu to boot on machine B with the hdisk out of machine A
[02:16] <Anusien> I know there are different binaries for some things for amd64 versus x64, although yes they share some of the same basic instruction sets I think. Architecture a bad term there
[02:16] <xangua> Anusien: 64bit is 64bit
[02:16] <andlabs> for the most part amd64 and intel x64 are compatible
[02:16] <poetazus> Hello guys, fast question, what do you think about this certs http://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification? should i proceed with the exam?
[02:16] <andlabs> any incompatibilities are not exposed to user space and binaries should still run fine
[02:16] <xangua> !ot | poetazus
[02:16] <andlabs> getting your hard disk from computer A to computer B depends on what computer B is
[02:18] <Anusien> xangua: If it's not amd64, then I'm not sure why the hdisk from machine A won't boot on machine B. Any tips to diagnose? I don't think I have syslog or anything else to check
[02:19] <andlabs> that could be for a lot of reasons
[02:19] <andlabs> is machine B recognizing the HDD at all??
[02:19] <andlabs> are you able to select it from a BIOS boot menu?
[02:19] <Anusien> Last time I attempted it, machine B got halfway through the boot process and just hung
[02:19] <andlabs> was machine A's boot device something else?
[02:20] <Anusien> machine A's boot device was that drive, and it attempted to boot machine B off it (and got a far ways in)
[02:20] <Guest16726> Sorry. dbarros : I did not understood your question. Do you want stop the swap on a partition ? If yes, use swapoff
[02:21] <Anusien> And I've pulled this HDD out in an enclosure and looked at it, the data are there
[02:21] <Anusien> Although it's not out of the question that there are some issues with it because it was spinning when the machine died
[02:23] <andlabs> Guest16726: dbarros isn't here? :S
[02:23] <andlabs> Anusien: it might be some machine configuration (not necessarily CPU)
[02:23] <andlabs> can you boot into a recovery mode
[02:25] <Guest16726> andlabs: Oh ! Too late...
[02:25] <andlabs> Guest16726: but yes that is the correct answer =P it's not a permanent solution though
[02:26] <andlabs> I don't know what the other guy asked though
[02:29] <Anusien> andlabs: Any idea what or how to diagnose?
[02:37] <Scanline360> Good night, how can I enable or disable blinking the terminal cursor ? anyone can help me, thanks
[02:38] <wangxufeng> Hello,everybody
[02:39] <wangxufeng> I am the first time to use ubuntu,Who can help me ?
[02:39] <Scanline360> wangxufeng: what do you need
[02:39] <Crell> Question. Is it inadvisable to have a web app stored outside of /var/www and them symlinked to there?  At least in the default config apache doesn't seem to allow a symlink for the docroot, which I have not seen before.
[02:40] <phre4k> Crell: no, it's not. But keep in mind symlinks can be unsafe, maybe rather mount --bind
[02:40] <Scanline360> whois Crell
[02:40] <wangxufeng> I don't know how to use use it
[02:40] <phre4k> Crell: you can also define different docroots without symlinking them
[02:41] <Scanline360> whois Crell
[02:41] <phre4k> wat^^
[02:41] <Crell> phre4k: True.  Is there a conventionally recommended way to handle that these days?
[02:41] <Crell> VHost directly to a git checkout of the app (which is what i have now)?  Put the git checkout in /var/www?  Other?
[02:42] <phre4k> wangxufeng: RTFM, e.g. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ or ask specific questions.
[02:42]  * Crell hasn't setup multi-web-app systems in a while.
[02:42] <phre4k> Crell: what are you trying to do? Just host multiple instances of a web app directly pulled from git?
[02:42] <Crell> Multiple web apps on the same home server, with their own domain names.
[02:43] <Crell> Some are apt-get-installed, others are git clones.
[02:44] <phre4k_> Crell: sry, 24h disconnect.
[02:44] <Crell> Fun. :-)
[02:44] <Crell> Multiple web apps on the same home server, with their own domain names. Some are apt-get-installed, ohters are git clones.
[02:44] <Crell> (That's all you missed.)
[02:55] <Kls7> >
[02:57] <Kls7> Hi Quick Question Does anyone know if the intel graphics driver includes a GUI control Panel similar to the the AMD FGLRx DRIVER. i AM ON uBUNTU 14.04 using the intel graphics driver v1.07
[03:03] <ledNaro> KLs7 i believe it doesn't because you can control the settings needed directly from the System settings but don't quote me on that
[03:06] <Kls7> LedNaro, tHANX.. I looked everywhere expecting to see a GUI tool similar to what Intel has on windows but no dice thus far. It seems kind of hard to believe that there is no GUI to adjust things like under-scan, Brightness, Contrast etc...
[03:07] <fancyfetus> hey guys
[03:07] <ledNaro> Yeah i thought so too, but i believe the reason why is because the intel drivers work OOB on Ubuntu, i have never had any issues with any of that that i could not control with system settings
[03:07] <fancyfetus> just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro as per these instructions:
[03:07] <fancyfetus> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy
[03:08] <ledNaro> i currently have a laptop with ivybridge and everything just works
[03:08] <fancyfetus> anyways, when I boot, I don't *really* see grub
[03:08] <fancyfetus> I just see a black screen with a purple outline for 2 seconds, before it boots into ubuntu.
[03:08] <fancyfetus> no options to boot into osx
[03:09] <ledNaro> try holding down shift when its booting up
[03:09] <fancyfetus> alright
[03:09] <fancyfetus> I'll brb
[03:10] <ledNaro> Kls7 Intel is the only one that provides OSS drivers so there is no need for an extra "layer" or settings to edit anything
[03:11] <fancyfetus_> Alright, I did that. Same thing. I see the outline of grub for 2 seconds and I end up straight back into ubuntu
[03:11] <cfhowlett> fancyfetus, are you dual bootin?
[03:11] <fancyfetus_> yes sir
[03:11] <fancyfetus_> well... that's the goal
[03:13] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : Have you checked if osx is still there ?
[03:13] <fancyfetus_> it... better be....
[03:13] <fancyfetus_> lmao
[03:13] <fancyfetus_> let me have a look :P
[03:14] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : open a terminal and check your partitions with : fdisk -l
[03:14] <fancyfetus_> ubuntu can't mount mac partitions, right?
[03:15] <jimbo> what's the best way to get yr front mic' working with 14.04 ?
[03:15] <fancyfetus_> Yeah It's there. I can see it in nautilus. I just can't mount it.
[03:15] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_: Don know ! But "sudo fdisk -l" will show if it still there or not
[03:16] <fancyfetus_> Yeah it's certainly still there
[03:16] <guest-c1U4vt> ojjjk
[03:16] <guest-c1U4vt> oiiii
[03:16] <BlueProtoman> How can I add someone to the sudoer's file?
[03:16] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : Good. Maybe some grub confusion.
[03:16] <syntroPi> how can i start nautilus in ubuntu gnome? invoking nautilus from terminal is without any effect or error msg?!
[03:17] <avatara> BlueProtoman, with visudo
[03:17] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : Do you know how to reconfigure grub ?
[03:17] <avatara> but you can also add them to the 'sudo' group
[03:17] <fancyfetus_> Guest16726, not entirely :(
[03:18] <syntroPi> is there a commant to FORCE nautilus to show its window regardless of what other instances of nautilus do?
[03:18] <jimbo> eh........
[03:19] <avatara> fancyfetus_, you looked at /etc/default/grub ?
[03:20] <BlueProtoman> avatara: And how may I do that?
[03:20] <Guest98122> anyone know when 10.10 will be available on DVD?
[03:20] <Guest98122> 14.10
[03:21] <fancyfetus_> avatara, I've done some small grub modifications as per the instructions I posted earlier
[03:21] <fancyfetus_> just little things in nano
[03:22] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : Well. you can check if a entry exist in grub.
[03:22] <fancyfetus_> I had to add a mac osx entry that exits grub
[03:22] <jimbo> clear
[03:22] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep ^menuentry
[03:23] <jimbo> how do you fix the front mic' in UBUNTU 14.04 ?
[03:23] <fancyfetus_> Guest16726, done, now what?
[03:24] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : Did you found a entry for osx ?
[03:24] <fancyfetus_> no output from that.
[03:24] <avatara> BlueProtoman, sudo usermod -aG sudo useryouwanttoadd
[03:24] <BlueProtoman> avatara: Thanks!
[03:25] <Guest16726> fancyfetus_ : I am lost. Can u "cd /boot/grub" ?
[03:25] <Guest16726> Is there a file named grub.cfg ?
[03:26] <fancyfetus_> yes
[03:26] <avatara> fancyfetus_, you executed "sudo grub-mkconfig" after you modified the grub config?
[03:26] <avatara> the one in /etc/default
[03:27] <Guest16726> Well. if you are there, execute "cat grub.cfg | grep ^menuentry"
[03:27] <fancyfetus_> I executed sudo update-grub
[03:27] <Guest16726> You will see all menu entrys on the missing grub menu
[03:28] <fancyfetus_> ahh yes, my bad
[03:28] <fancyfetus_> one for Ubuntu, and one for MacOS
[03:28] <Guest16726> Ok
[03:28] <Guest16726> May be it is a timeout
[03:28] <cfhowlett> fancyfetus_, in all the tutorials I've read, grub does NOT boot OSX.   That's why the tutorials specify the reFIND bootloader on Mac/Ubuntu systems.
[03:29] <fancyfetus_> cfhowlett. in this one, OSX boots after grub exits
[03:30] <fancyfetus_> and the MacOS menuentry exits grub
[03:30] <Guest16726> I don't remember how to set timeout of grub menu
[03:32] <fancyfetus> I set the default entry to my MacOS entry
[03:32] <fancyfetus> and it still booted into ubuntu
[03:33] <Guest16726> in the /etc/default/grub
[03:34] <Guest16726> Lets see some lines
[03:34] <avatara> see that GRUB_DEFAULT=0 is first entry, =1 is second
[03:34] <avatara> maybe you set it wrong
[03:34] <Guest16726> GRUB_TIMEOUT ?
[03:35] <fancyfetus> grub timeout is 10
[03:35] <ledNaro> i think cfhowlett has a point, GRUB cant boot OSX so you have to use a third party bootloader to boot ubuntu from as opposed to trying to boot OSX from grub
[03:35] <Guest16726> is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT commented ?
[03:36] <Guest16726> I say,
[03:36] <Guest16726> #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[03:36] <fancyfetus> yes
[03:37] <EriC^^> make a file called /boot/grub/custom.cfg with the line timeout=10
[03:37] <EriC^^> and add a comment in /etc/default/grub that says that file is created and overrides the /etc/default/grub one
[03:38] <fancyfetus> Wait, no
[03:38] <fancyfetus> Guest16726, Grub hidden timeout is NOT commented. It is 0
[03:38] <Guest16726> Put # in front of the line
[03:39] <Guest16726> and update-grub
[03:39] <fancyfetus> there is also a line, grub hidden timeout quiet = true
[03:39] <fancyfetus> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
[03:39] <EriC^^> fancyfetus: that should be fine
[03:40] <EriC^^> fancyfetus: how is grub launching the osx efi file?
[03:40] <EriC^^> fancyfetus: can you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[03:40] <EriC^^> did you manually add the entry there or did grub pick it up?
[03:40] <fancyfetus> AWWWW YIS!
[03:40] <fancyfetus> Commenting that line out, fixed it :D
[03:41] <Guest16726> Good
[03:41] <fancyfetus> EriC^^, I used these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy
[03:42] <EriC^^> oh ok, seems that it uses the efi boot order to boot it
[03:43] <EriC^^> when you exit grub it goes to the next in the list and it launches the osx efi file
[03:43] <fancyfetus> yes sir!
[03:44] <EriC^^> pretty cool, so is it working?
[03:44] <fancyfetus> Yeah!!!
[03:45] <Guest16726> fancyfetus : I am happy it works. Just a timeout.
[03:46] <michael_j_p> Anyone tried the PS2 emulator.  I'm curious about it and it's sys requirements.
[03:48] <crazyhead42> Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu into an Oracle VM  VirtualBox, but I think I'm doing something wrong. My error is "This kernal requires the following features not present on the CPU: / pae / Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU". (If this is not the correct place to ask this, please direct me there)
[03:49] <cfhowlett> !vbox | Crazy_Atheist
[03:49] <cfhowlett> !vbox | crazyhead42
[03:50]  * rww facepalms
[03:50] <rww> crazyhead42: open the settings for the virtual machine on the host -> System -> Processor -> Enable PAE/NX
[03:50] <crazyhead42> Well, I am either athiest or malthiest sooooooooooo.....
[03:50] <fancyfetus> Thanks guys! I appreciate all the help!
[03:50] <SchrodingersScat> I would just enable pae
[03:51] <crazyhead42> Oh, hey, how did I miss that?
[03:52] <crazyhead42> Thanks, but now I have a whole new list of errors.
[03:52] <crazyhead42> I think
[03:55] <EriC^^> which ubuntu are you installing?
[03:55] <crazyhead42> 14.4
[03:55] <crazyhead42> I have a screenshot I'm working on getting up
[03:58] <crazyhead42> http://crazyhead42.tumblr.com/post/107280693765/just-for-me-itll-dissapear-in-a-sec
[03:59] <nexus6> hello all
[03:59] <bubbasaures> crazyhead42, That should be in text posted
[04:00] <nexus6> i got a question am i in right place? xD
[04:00] <svetlana> nexus6: yes.
[04:00] <SchrodingersScat> !ubuntu | nexus6
[04:00] <svetlana> no need for that. I said yes.
[04:00] <nexus6> ok hello svetlana
[04:00] <svetlana> hi.
[04:01] <crazyhead42> Ummm... I have no idea how to use this program, and I forgot what the text website is, soo... I don't know how to get the text version avalible for you
[04:01] <nexus6> i need to start program when i am logged on as common user but that program needs sudo credentials
[04:02] <bubbasaures> crazyhead42, lots of text sites, just info this way if you even get helps slows things down is all, it is free help remember. ;)
[04:02] <nexus6> so i do not now how to do it i tried chmod even to change permissions but it doesn't launch
[04:02] <svetlana> nexus6: prefix your command with sudo.
[04:03] <nexus6> i did that didn't work,program name is xarp
[04:03] <svetlana> nexus6: how it didn't work? what did it do?
[04:03] <crazyhead42> Yes, but that doesn't mean I know how to copy and paste from this program before I get the OS running.
[04:03] <nexus6> i did this:sudo-to-root -X -c xarp
[04:04] <nexus6> it is arptables control program
[04:04] <svetlana> nexus6: try ┬½sudo xarp┬╗.
[04:04] <nexus6> it works when i am admin but did not when i am logged as user
[04:05] <svetlana> nexus6: what do you mean? how do you differentiate ┬½logged in as admin┬╗ and ┬½logged in as user┬╗?
[04:05] <nexus6> i did make 2 accounts one has Admin powers other one is common user
[04:06] <crazyhead42> How do I increase the virtual screen size? That's probably a decent start to getting the text version.
[04:06] <svetlana> nexus6: you shouldn't do that with Ubuntu. Use the one with admin powers; it'll prompt you for password each time it needs admin permissions.
[04:06] <nexus6> unable under this environment too dangerous
[04:07] <nexus6> i must be logged on as user or system will be compromised
[04:07] <Howie_> #ubuntu-beginners
[04:07] <svetlana> nexus6: explain what is too dangerous? Millions of ubuntu users worldwide connect to the internet from accounts which have sudo access, but escalation of privileges is not possible without user permission.
[04:07] <svetlana> nexus6: that's by design.
[04:08] <svetlana> nexus6: unsurprisingly, the account without sudo access (the ┬½non-admin┬╗ account, as you call it) lacks access to run programs as root.
[04:08] <nexus6> true
[04:09] <nexus6> but there's workaround
[04:09] <Howie_> hi, could anyone help me out, im a complete ubuntu noob
[04:09] <nexus6> i don't know command syntax so i am asking
[04:09] <svetlana> nexus6: workaround to run a program as root from an account which lacks such access? why do you think that exists?
[04:09] <somsip> !ask | Howie_
[04:10] <nexus6> thank you
[04:10] <svetlana> interesting.
[04:11] <svetlana> Howie_: hi, welcome to the club. I am also new. what's the problem?
[04:11] <Howie_> im trying to fix a game compatibility
[04:12] <Howie_> and it requires some commands
[04:12] <Howie_> https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-1562
[04:12] <somsip> Howie_: this is an Android game?
[04:12] <Howie_> yes
[04:12] <somsip> Howie_: so nothing to do with Ubuntu then?
[04:13] <svetlana> Howie_: the URL you linked contains no commands. what are you trying to do?
[04:13] <Howie_> copy and paste
[04:13] <svetlana> Howie_: like I said, it's not clear /what/ you're doing from that page.
[04:13] <Howie_> mount /system
[04:13] <Howie_> and
[04:14] <Howie_> overwrite libc.so
[04:14] <somsip> Howie_: if this is Android, it does not belong here. This is an Ubuntu support channel only
[04:14] <Howie_> mmk np
[04:14] <Howie_> thank you
[04:15] <svetlana> Howie_: oh, and btw -- /system is on the PHONE, not on an ubuntu computer, is that correct?
[04:21] <jimbo> hey
[04:22] <jimbo> how can you get a front mic' working properly in UBUNTU 14.04 ?
[04:23] <megadell> hello
[04:24] <CarlFK> if you do "apt-get build-dep foo"  how do I uninstall that stuff ?
[04:24] <svetlana> Howie_, somsip: for reference, that's potentially a #cyanogenmod question.
[04:25] <somsip> svetlana: yes, that's why I told him it didn't belong here
[04:25] <crazyhead42> Is there a way to copy text from a virtual box when the operating system isn't yet installed? or should I continue trying to copy it?
[04:25] <svetlana> somsip: yeah; I preferred to spend time to find the correct channel.
[04:25] <svetlana> somsip: it may be useful for whoever reads this channel later.
[04:26] <megadell> yes, i suppose so
[04:26] <svetlana> crazyhead42: copying is handled by virtualbox itself I think, no need for a working os inside.
[04:26] <crazyhead42> Okay, so how do I do it?
[04:27] <crazyhead42> Ctrl c doesn't work because I can't select text yet.
[04:27] <crazyhead42> Okay, I just initiallized some "nonblocking pool". What did I just do?
[04:30] <bablu>  I HAVE A CD AND I WANT TO INSTALL OXFORD DICTIONARY, COULD YOU HELP ME ????
[04:30] <cfhowlett> bablu, stop caps please.
[04:31] <svetlana> crazyhead42: can't select text because there is no mouse on the screen?
[04:31] <cfhowlett> bablu, you'll have to ask oxford for help ... I couldn't install the dictionary either.
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[04:31] <bablu> ok, i have a cd and i wan to install oxford dictionary. could you help me ??
[04:32] <crazyhead42> Not once it's captured. I have a mouse outside of the virtual box though.
[04:32] <crazyhead42> ctrl caused some "random: nonblocking pool is initialized" thing to come up, I think, but that may have just been time.
[04:33] <svetlana> crazyhead42: I would join #vbox and ask there. I would expect that, with gpm installed, you can copy from such terminal (but if there is no OS, you have to fiddle with virtualbox settings, which I have not done in a while).
[04:34] <crazyhead42> Okay, I'll ask there. Can you message me what "gpm" is though?
[04:37] <somsip> !info gpm | crazyhead42
[04:39] <svetlana> crazyhead42: ubottu gave you more detail. When gpm is running (on the guest OS), you can select text using the pointer, without X running there.
[04:46] <wangxufeng> hello
[04:46] <orinoko> hello
[04:46] <orinoko> sorry, was just setting up xchat in ubuntu, it automatically logs in here...
[04:50] <orinoko_> gah stupid xchat, stop autojoining #ubuntu!1
[04:50] <skweek> I have a gigaware usb to ethernet adaptor which I can't figure out how to load as ethernet device in ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas about how to approach making it work?
[04:53] <wangxufeng> I don't know how to use it,who can help me?
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> !ask | wangxufeng
[04:53] <lotuspsychje> skweek: does lusb show your device?
[04:54] <svetlana> wangxufeng: hi.
[04:54] <skweek> yes
[04:54] <svetlana> wangxufeng: what are you trying to use, or to do? the chat box works at least.
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> skweek: normally driver should load automaticly, can you see wifi ssid's in your wifi icon?
[04:54] <wangxufeng> ok,good
[04:55] <skweek> yes, that works, it's a ethernet to usb adaptor which when plugging it in loads a cd, like a set up cd
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> skweek: that auto load works on windows only i think
[04:56] <skweek> well I just dont know how to get it to stop loading that and make it act like a ethernet to usb adaptor
[04:57] <svetlana> wangxufeng: welcome.
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> skweek: can you paste the brand of your device
[04:58] <skweek> http://www.radioshack.com/gigaware-usb-ethernet-adapter/2503584.html#.VKsJcV3L_7A&tab=tab2
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> skweek: cant find nothing much, beside one guy on forum trys to load the windows driver with ndiswrapper
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> !ndiswrapper | skweek
[05:05] <skweek> I saw that too, so I was thinking that this might be out of the box thinking
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> skweek: wich ubuntu version are you on?
[05:07] <skweek> 14.10
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> kk
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> skweek: check dmesg in terminal for errors maybe
[05:08] <lotuspsychje> skweek: or syslog
[05:08] <nmatrix9> I think Iam missing the virtual desktop option on my Ubuntu 14.04 plasma desktop
[05:08] <nmatrix9> Kubuntu
[05:08] <skweek> http://pastebin.com/dGhq39Eh
[05:08] <skweek> that's what I'm getting from dmesg
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> skweek: could be worth to try making an askbuntu question on your issue also, because its a rare problem to find
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> lemme check
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> skweek: did you try other usb ports? dmesg shows nothing usefull
[05:10] <skweek> I didn't
[05:11] <skweek> I'll give it a look see tomorrow and put something in on askubuntu
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> skweek: try tail -f /var/log/syslog and plugin your device, see what error you get there
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> skweek: yes, and add your lusb, dmesg and syslog to the askbuntu
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> nmatrix9: maybe the #kubuntu guys might know?
[05:15] <bablu> hi, how to download youtube videos...
[05:16] <bablu> in ubuntu
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> nmatrix9: there's also an article about plasma on omgubuntu.co.uk
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> bablu: check the #firefox channel for addons
[05:16] <nmatrix9> lotuspsychje, I figured it out, thanks
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> !yay | nmatrix9
[05:16] <jamie_> bablu: i can help you with that, thats where im from
[05:17] <nmatrix9> ubottu, lol you have no idea : )
[05:17] <bablu> how to  download youtube videos
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> !repeat | bablu
[05:17] <nmatrix9> well that was emberassing
[05:18] <nmatrix9> *emberassing
[05:18] <nmatrix9> *embarassing
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> nmatrix9: we all learn here mate, no sweat
[05:18] <jamie_> blablu you got to the tools tabs and select add ons
[05:18] <crazyhead42> @bablu, do you normally download youtube videos, or is this something you are doing for the first time?
[05:19] <jamie_> blablu: you then go to corner where it says search for ad ons
[05:19] <jamie_> search for download youtube videos
[05:20] <bubbasaures> jamie_, You can tab complete nicks, yah wanna get them right. ;)
[05:21] <crazyhead42> I've found, although this was a while ago, that youtube broke most of the methods used for capturing youtube videos. Your best bet is probably a screen capture software, because youtube does have to play to the screen and through your audio drivers NO MATTER WHAT if you can watch them.
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> lets move this topic guys
[05:22] <jamie_> crazyhead42: there are add ons for that specific purpose, puts them into mp4
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> !ot
[05:22] <crazyhead42> Yes, but I've tried a number of them unsuccessfully.
[05:22] <shingen> actually you can screen capture anything with VLC , so feel free to ask in the #vlc channel :)
[05:23] <crazyhead42> VLC does screen captures?
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> crazyhead42: you can set the record button on vlc from advanced options
[05:23] <shingen> vlc will rip any video stream on your screen and can stream it or write to disk with it or whatever
[05:23] <EriC^^> bablu: use youtube-dl
[05:24] <crazyhead42> VLC comes with "VLC media player" right?
[05:24] <EriC^^> !info youtube-dl
[05:24] <shingen> vlc *IS* VLC media player, yes
[05:24] <shingen> !info vlc
[05:24] <lotuspsychje> a must-have on ubuntu :p
[05:24] <crazyhead42> ummm... I don't think I quite talk that tech yet.
[05:24] <shingen> problem is, you have to actually play it in realtime to rip it
[05:25] <shingen> so it's not time friendly...
[05:25] <jamie_> bablu: on firefox go to the tools tab, go to add ons, go to upper right corner in the new tab for add ons and search download youtube videos, select which one you want, read description for diriecrions most of the time. sugest Download YouTube Videos as MP4
[05:25] <crazyhead42> I was trying EVERYTHING to try to get things I could get to play to rip though. Man that was annoying. I wouldn't mind binge watching my favorite stuff to rip them though. hmmmmmm... I'll have to find it.
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> shingen: you can use kazam for lightweight recording
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> !info kazam | shingen
[05:27] <jamie_> bablu: this one is a download directly put to click on the webpage with Download YouTube Videos as MP4
[05:27] <bablu> hi, how to download youtube videos...
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> bablu: stop that please
[05:27] <NegativeFlare> !info youtube-dl | bablu
[05:30] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: I gave him the exact answer he would get from us over at moznet

[05:46] <matschaffer> Hi, a few days ago I was attempting to rebuild nginx to include nginx-auth-ldap. I came up with this: https://gist.github.com/matschaffer/97764148967fe17e5349 which seems to at least get the build process working but it ends up downloading an orig.tar.gz and ignoring my attempt at picking up the new module. Is there an easy fix here or should I plan to just read https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/start.en.html in
[05:46] <matschaffer> its entirety?
[05:47] <daftykins> might be worth querying alis for a potential httpd / nginx channel
[05:48] <daftykins> or even trying #ubuntu-server
[05:50] <bkfixer> Rebooted an Ubuntu server and now it won't send signals to display? How to troubleshoot?
[05:51] <daftykins> bkfixer: remove quiet and splash from the default GRUB entry?
[05:52] <bkfixer> daftykins: can't edit anything as I got no video
[05:52] <EriC^^> bkfixer: holding shift doesn't display grub?
[05:52] <daftykins> this is before boot though
[05:53] <daftykins> are you using some kind of remote tech?
[05:53] <matschaffer> thanks daftykins - will give ubuntu-server a try next.
[05:54] <bkfixer> No, it's right next to me. I was fixing some KVM stuff and now it's acting weird
[05:55] <bkfixer> I didn't make much change to the server though. Just changed a xml of a guest
[05:55] <daftykins> you still see POST right?
[05:56] <bkfixer> No, I've got nothing
[05:56] <bkfixer> The machine doesn't make any noises except fans
[05:57] <bkfixer> I pushed in a dvd drive that was loose before restarting it. Don't think that is it.
[05:57] <daftykins> doesn't really sound like an ubuntu issue if you're not even POSTing
[05:57] <bkfixer> well, it's the closest channel I can get :-)
[05:58] <pantato> #hardware ?
[05:58] <daftykins> what?
[05:58] <stangeland> how do i recursively delete all files mathing Config*.ini ?
[05:58] <stangeland> *matching
[05:58] <daftykins> something like: find /path/to/delete/in/ -i name "config*.ini" -exec {rm
[05:59] <daftykins> oops hit enter too early
[05:59] <daftykins> i think it needed just one more
[05:59] <bkfixer> I'll try that channel, thanks
[05:59] <daftykins> gah, enter key again - one more } but i'm a bit new with find.
[06:01] <daftykins> that's a bad Eri.
[06:02] <Eri> But I literally just got in here. I've not even had a moment to be bad.
[06:02] <daftykins> :D
[06:02] <Eri> Shouldn't you be asleep?
[06:03] <andlabs> I don't know what the other guy asked though
[06:03] <andlabs> er
[06:03] <andlabs> I hate this keyboard
[06:03] <andlabs> can't tell where the up key is at all
[06:03] <andlabs> or right shift (which is next to it) because it's not long
[06:03] <andlabs> -_-
[06:03] <andlabs> I was aiming for /
[06:03] <daftykins> wat
[06:24] <Howie_>  /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Howie_ wqaeognaxxjc
[06:25] <Chuck_Norris> lo(
[06:25] <daftykins> hmm, nice password
[06:25] <cfhowlett> Howie_, you don't mind if I steal your irc ID, do you?
[06:26] <Stanley00> really? not random, but is not a readle too. I wonder how did you generate that? Howie_
[06:26] <EriC^^> guys that's the verification code not his pass
[06:26] <daftykins> ah
[06:26] <Eri> Someone with a similar name!
[06:26] <Stanley00> oh O.O
[06:27]  * Eri ponders the origins of EriC^^ and their relationship to the constant ghosting being done on Eri
[06:31] <EriC^^> Eri: how are you being ghosted?
[06:31] <EriC^^> that's pretty odd
[06:32] <Eri> No, no. I'm the one ghosting people. Someone's been using "Eri" a lot when I'm not logged in. It was merely odd for me to see another version of Eri in some fashion
[06:34] <EriC^^> oh ok, no i'm not using it
[06:36] <snowie> Hi all, have (had) 14.04.1 installed on a machine. The other day it got slow, hdd started ticking, restart produced unbootable ticking drive. I'm in a live usb of 14.04 now listening to a hdd tick that i cant see anywhere. (/dev/sda1 is the usb, no other sda devices). Anything to check before i replace the drive with full reinstall through salty, salty tears?
[06:36] <EriC^^> Eri: your name is Eri?
[06:36] <dtscode> hey guys... i know that this is a channel specifically meant for ubuntu support, but would it be at all possible to get help with nginx/hhvm/hack on my ubuntu vps?
[06:36] <daftykins> snowie: she's dead, jim
[06:36] <Eri> Eri is my nickname and handle in most places, but I'm actually an Erin
[06:37] <daftykins> dtscode: depends what the question is, but #ubuntu-server might end up being more relevant
[06:37] <snowie> daftykins: yeah... :'( is there any method of even probing for it, like lspci but lssata or something?
[06:37] <dtscode> daftykins, ok youre probably right. ill ask there first
[06:37] <EriC^^> Eri: oh ok, i thought maybe that was it
[06:37] <HappyMan> If anybody in here has a haswell dell xps 13, how is it?
[06:38] <cfhowlett> HappyMan, tested it the other day ... sweet indeed
[06:38] <Eri> EriC^^: would you be an Eric?
[06:38] <daftykins> snowie: yeah, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit" it's probably spotted in there at least, but might be unhappy
[06:38] <EriC^^> Eri: yeah
[06:38] <HappyMan> I've been considering one but would appreciate it if anyone actually has one
[06:38] <dtscode> my first name is dts, and my last name is code
[06:39] <daftykins> nice to meet you, digital theatre surround code
[06:39] <Eri> Code? Code? Code?
[06:39] <HappyMan> cfhowlett: yeah it looks awesome on paper but I'm mainly interested in the battery life
[06:39] <daftykins> EriC^^: careful, i know this troublemaker
[06:39] <snowie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9680693/
[06:39] <Eri> That was a bad take on Bueller
[06:39] <daftykins> Eri: am i gonna have to tell you off for being off topic? :P
[06:39] <cfhowlett> dtscode, read the reviews on the dell site.  Looks like 4 - 6 hours
[06:39] <dtscode> cfhowlett, lolwut?
[06:39] <snowie> Holy F!#$, that looks pretty feckin broken, lol
[06:40] <cfhowlett> dtscode, if possible, wait.  There is an upgrade coming, but no date announced.
[06:40] <dtscode> what are you talking about?
[06:40] <HappyMan> He probably means me
[06:40]  * Eri looks properly chastised and goes back to surfing pinterest
[06:40] <cfhowlett> dtscode sorry >> HappyMan
[06:40] <daftykins> snowie: wow. yeah that's one unhappy disk, if you're definitely hearing it make repetitive head movements - it's data recovery company time
[06:40] <dtscode> its ok. i was just really confused
[06:41] <HappyMan> That's what everyone is saying, "we have new stuff soon just wait" and in the meantime my laptop is overheating itself to death :(
[06:41] <HappyMan> New thinkpad coming, new Dell, new Samsung, ugh
[06:41] <daftykins> HappyMan: i was nearly tempted, but USB 3.1c on the way and Broadwell already announced, i see no point
[06:41] <cfhowlett> HappyMan, no idea of your budget, but the lenovo carbon x2 is also sweet
[06:41] <daftykins> HappyMan: er, take it apart and fix it then? :)
[06:42] <snowie> daftykins: cheers mate. it's not critical i guess. just bummed. finally get it just how you like it and...
[06:43] <daftykins> snowie: :( too right, well good luck on a replacement :D i favour long warranty length Western Digitals myself
[06:43] <HappyMan> daftykins: no time, no time at all. it's a cooling infrastructure issue, complicated to take apart , and the laptop is four years old anyway. Time for an upgrade
[06:43] <HappyMan> cfhowlett: don't like the trackpad on those, doesn't work right for me
[06:43] <daftykins> ah, i do that for a living.
[06:44] <daftykins> (disassemblies)
[06:44] <snowie> daftykins: Yeah, i have some oldies around here. I think im gunna switch to important stuff in amazon cloud, and backups of the current config to smaller disk. I like to run cheap, so most stuff i have is second hand. this 1tb that failed I have had for 5 years, who knows how old before that lol.
[07:01] <nobbbb> o
[07:02] <EriC^^> daftykins: ah i see :)
[07:03] <aoa_> hello everyone, i need instsll these package on ubuntu "fontconfig
[07:03] <aoa_>   freetype2, fribidi (see "BiDi support" below),  gettext,  libcap,  libjpeg but when i install them with apt-get , apt-get sad Unable to locate package freetype2

[07:23] <skilz> Hi there, Java 7 is installed to  /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java how do I add it to my PATH?
[07:24] <daftykins> update-alternatives ?
[07:26] <skilz> So would it be "update-alternatives set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java"
[07:27] <daftykins> not sure off hand :)
[07:30] <wafflejock> skilz, update-alternatives --config java
[07:30] <jamie_> I  have an odd question, but its not bad. I had to reset my unity due to a misshap using     mv .config .configold and before even after changing versions multiple times to check certain things my resume kernal wasnt seeming to work right but after words now is, Is there any idea on why?
[07:30] <wafflejock> skilz, should give you the list to pick from based on installed options
[07:31] <skilz> wafflejock,  excellent, thanks :)
[07:31] <daftykins> jamie_: why not just be happy it works?
[07:32] <jamie_> I want to know for incase it happens again, It has been a pain in the butt, it worked at one point then stoped.. then after an update somewhere down the line started to work again and yet again stopped
[07:33] <daftykins> also "my resume kernel" - does that mean: resume from hibernation/sleep ?
[07:35] <jamie_> yes, its what i returned after a incident of having to completly shut down when resuming and just went to a black screen
[07:35] <jamie_> **what it returned**  and happend multiple times and eventuall i just started to anytime i wasnt right there i had to shut it down
[07:38] <skilz> Apt-get is locked cause something didn't install properly
[07:38] <skilz> How do I kill it so I can remove it?
[07:39] <skilz> nautilus-dropbox didn't finish installing now I can't do anything else
[07:39] <daftykins> pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install"
[07:39] <daftykins> !paste
[07:39] <skilz> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:40] <skilz> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[07:40] <skilz> Thats it
[07:40] <dtscode> skilz, are you already running apt-get?
[07:40] <daftykins> !aptlock
[07:40] <skilz> Yeah like I said from the software center it didnt finish
[07:40] <daftykins> awww yes, late night factoid remembering
[07:41] <skilz> Thanks
[07:47] <vvassilev> Hi all, I have ubuntu 10.04 and after an upgrade to 2.6.32-70 I started to get isw couldn't find disk /dev/sdb in metadata... On this machine I have a RAID 1 on separate cheap RAID board.
[07:47] <vvassilev> I have no idea how to diagnose what is the problem... Any clues?
[07:48] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: your on ubuntu server 10.04?
[07:48] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: yes.
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know your issue?
[07:49] <vvassilev> After the error in isw, it says that cannot find modules.dep in /lib/modules/...-70...
[07:49] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: I will give it a try, thanks!
[07:50] <daftykins> vvassilev: you have 3 months of support left, might as well stick to an older kernel and forget about it, then reinstall before April ends.
[07:51] <daftykins> !lucid
[07:52] <vvassilev> daftykins: I see, I tried to boot -53 and it tells me: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init.
[07:53] <vvassilev> (/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: ... invalid ELF header)
[07:53] <daftykins> so 100% ok on older kernels, yes?
[07:54] <vvassilev> I have no idea anymore, yesterday was all fine (it said restart required for some time) and I restarted and then I saw this issue...
[07:54] <vvassilev> With the previous kernels (prior to 70 I guess, yesterday was all fine) and now I cannot boot older ones too...
[07:55] <dannymichel> The install and configuration of this is way too advanced for me. https://code.google.com/p/pyroscope/wiki/CommandLineTools Anybody know of a way to mass edit announce URLs without installing that script?
[07:55] <vvassilev> My guess is that something with the raid or a disk failed or something. Is there any way I can check?
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> !raid | vvassilev maybe here?
[07:58] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | vvassilev for disk fail test
[07:58] <daftykins> but yeah honestly, you have 3 months left so i wouldn't even bother to fix that ;) you need to upgrade!
[07:58] <daftykins> i'm actually typing from 10.04 server too, with the -70 kernel
[07:58] <lotuspsychje> daftykins: wich one is reccomended to install 12.04 or 14.04 server?
[07:59] <vvassilev> daftykins: the issue is that I have a lot of configuration on this machine and they are all missing now...
[07:59] <daftykins> vvassilev: so boot a live session, mount a disk and back it up? you're gonna have to reinstall no matter what
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: or try booting into grub, previous kernel?
[08:00] <daftykins> err, well 12.04 is dead in 2017 i think? then 14.04 is in 2019
[08:01] <daftykins> 14.04 hits its' second point release (14.04.2) in early Feb someone said, so it's gotta be pretty stable by now
[08:01] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: I want to make sure that the disk is not dead first. I have no idea how to assert that in the context of the raid...
[08:02] <daftykins> boot a live session and query each device with smartctl -a /dev/sdX
[08:03] <skilz> Anyone know a good VNC server to use on my pc and client for iPhone to connect to it?
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> skilz: be carefull with remote software, its danger to use
[08:04] <lotuspsychje> skilz: use ssh instead
[08:05] <skilz> It's just for my home network
[08:05] <skilz> I want to control my computer when I'm on the toilet lol
[08:05] <skilz> Or sitting outside
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> skilz: if your home network can connect to the net, its also a danger
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> skilz: try teamviewer for single use maybe
[08:06] <skilz> It's fine, there is no outside access to the vnc port
[08:06] <Thumpxr_> lotuspsychje: skilz when you use teamviewer in LAN make sure to use your local ip and not the teamviewer id displayed on your pc! will make everything faster + no traffic outgoing
[08:07] <skilz> Okie dokie
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> Thumpxr_: nice idea, but still if teamviewer holds vunrable holes, it could be exploited
[08:07] <skilz> Not in the repos
[08:07] <skilz> I just want a simple VNC server
[08:08] <lotuspsychje> skilz: forget vnc, its dangerous
[08:08] <skilz> Like tightvncserver or something
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> !vnc | skilz
[08:09] <daftykins> remote desktop sharing used to be built in 0o
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> remote everything is a security danger :p
[08:10] <daftykins> worst of all, the one that drives the TV
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> true
[08:20] <caryhartline> How do you alert people to update an old wiki page?
[08:20] <daftykins> you can update it yourself i think
[08:20] <daftykins> !wiki
[08:20] <daftykins> ok that was useless
[08:21] <caryhartline> Well I would update it myself if I knew what to replace certain text with.
[08:21] <caryhartline> I just know the text is old.
[08:21] <caryhartline> Specifically this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Bitesize which refers to 11.10 in the future tense
[08:23] <daftykins> tbh many pages have far more issues than tense going on
[08:23] <caryhartline> What I mean is that the documented is outdated
[08:23] <caryhartline> Not just an issue of grammar
[08:23] <daftykins> yeah, i understand
[08:25] <vvassilev> I booted a rescue cd and dmraid -r says: ERROR: isw: could not find disk /dev/sdb in the metadata
[08:27] <caryhartline> vvassilev: is /dev/sdb the disk you're trying to rescue?
[08:28] <vvassilev> caryhartline: yes, it is a part of my fakeRAID and I am trying to figure out what's wrong.
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: i would go for daftykins solution and install new server fresh, you will soon see if your hd is still intact
[08:30] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: I want to get my configurations back...
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: photorec can get your data back (if hd is still alive)
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: did your hd work before kernel update?
[08:32] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: yes it did.
[08:32] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: then boot into previous kernel..
[08:32] <lotuspsychje> get your configs back, or boot into live as daftykins suggested
[08:32] <brainacid> yo
[08:32] <brainacid> .j #linux
[08:33] <ninja_> Hello everyone, how do we build a project/app in a different folder
[08:33] <ninja_> ?
[08:34] <brainacid> hi ninja_
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> !details | ninja_ project of what exactly?
[08:35] <brainacid> everyone should merge to Arch
[08:35] <brainacid> l0l
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> brainacid: dont do that
[08:35] <lotuspsychje> brainacid: ubuntu support only here
[08:35] <brainacid> lotuspsychje.. it was a silly comment
[08:35] <brainacid> ubuntu user for 5 years
[08:36] <brainacid> :)
[08:36] <vvassilev> lotuspsychje: I did boot a live cd.
[08:36] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: did you try the smartctl like daftykins said?
[08:37] <jamie_> brainacid: same!! it drives me nuts with anything else
[08:37] <vvassilev> I don't have this command lotuspsychje
[08:37] <lotuspsychje> vvassilev: <daftykins> boot a live session and query each device with smartctl -a /dev/sdX
[08:37] <daftykins> vvassilev: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit"
[08:38] <daftykins> (then same for /dev/sdb)
[09:07] <linux> hello
[09:17] <Rory> How can I upload a file to a remote server using SFTP (note, not scp) with a one-liner?
[09:26] <Zombyrad> Rory: why not scp, it's basically the same thing as sftp or do you need interruptable transfers?
[09:27] <Rory> We don't control the endpoint
[09:27] <Rory> They won't give us a shell
[09:29] <Rory> I have set up passwordless authentication with the -o "IdentityFile..." flag, and once I get an SFTP prompt, I can use "put testfile" and it works. But I'd like to automate this sending of the "put" command into a single line
[09:30] <Siilwyn> Does anybody know when the new unity icons are planned?
[09:33] <wafflejock> Rory, maybe try with a batch file -b http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_sftp.htm
[09:33] <Zombyrad> Rory: quick glance at the sftp man page and it looks like it supports the same syntax as scp, so sftp user@host1:file user@host2:file, but I'm not sure it can use the -o option for the identity file for that too
[09:34] <wafflejock> ah yeah -b says it's alternative to stdin
[09:36] <Zombyrad> Rory: nvm, did a quick test and that sftp syntax is for getting single files, not for putting them.
[09:36] <RP-H> quit
[09:37] <Zombyrad> Rory: I think what wafflej0ck said is the best way to go, with the -b option.
[09:41] <Rory> This post seems to be okay. Uses <<EOF https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/using-sftp-with-ssh-script-scheduled-by-a-cron.54007/#post-263043
[09:41] <Rory> And I can just use a shell script
[09:42] <cristian_c> Hello
[09:42] <daftykins> hi
[09:43] <brothersome> Rory, sh <script>
[09:43] <cristian_c> I'd like to slow down a .mov video. I've tried with mencoder and speed parameter, but I don't understand how to make working this
[09:43] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[09:44] <k1l_> cristian_c: just one time? choose a player that can slow down the replay, like vlc
[09:44] <cristian_c> k1l_, I've already tied vlc
[09:44] <cristian_c> *tried
[09:45] <k1l_> so .mov is not supported for that?
[09:45] <cristian_c> k1l_, I can't understand how to slow more than 0.03x
[09:45] <p0ss> cristian_c tried openshot?
[09:45] <cristian_c> p0ss, I'll try
[09:46] <cristian_c> k1l_, anyway, Idon't understand how to slow it correctly
[09:48] <k1l_> cristian_c: press "-"
[09:50] <stevenm> Lo, you know the webupd8 install of java 8?  does it self update to more recent java versions just using apt-get upgrade ?
[09:50] <stevenm> I normally use the duinsoft way of installing - which does do that
[09:59] <jootor> i installed w7 then ubuntu 14.04 but i have issues dual booting after several help on net
[10:00] <daftykins> jootor: the common problem is booting the ubuntu media as EFI or legacy when the OS was installed in the opposite mode, did you check this at the time? what happens right now?
[10:00] <jootor> no
[10:00] <brothersome> jootor it is also possible to boot grub with windows bootloader
[10:01] <thomas1> hi
[10:01] <scrunlering> true
[10:01] <jootor> cannot dual boot. i can boot only ubuntu
[10:01] <svetlana> with gdm, which files correspond to the DE options?
[10:01] <svetlana> .desktop somewhere but i forgot where
[10:02] <daftykins> jootor: which image did you see booting your ubuntu media? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode
[10:02] <daftykins> (when you first installed)
[10:02] <thomas1> what can i do here
[10:02] <daftykins> thomas1: this is an ubuntu support channel
[10:03] <thomas1> hi
[10:03] <svetlana> hi thomas1, welcome, just ask your questions or answer others; it's ok to idle a few minutes to settle in
[10:04] <jootor> will chek
[10:04] <wangxufeng> when I installed the  latest ubuntu  desktop 14.10 and I couldn't  find windows 7 system.
[10:04] <k1l_> svetlana: you are mixing displaymanager with desktop settings?
[10:05] <svetlana> i mean display manager settings, not desktop settings
[10:05] <svetlana> list of DEs available when i try to log in
[10:05] <scrunlering> jootor: this should help you to fix your problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[10:05] <svetlana> i would like to view and customize that list
[10:06] <svetlana> i thought i have gdm documentation somewhere on my system which would answer that, but i don't see it
[10:06] <daftykins> svetlana: "sessions"
[10:06] <svetlana> not really sessions, i do not care about the windows i opened before logging off
[10:06] <daftykins> no, that's not what sessions is in this context i believe
[10:07] <wangxufeng> I guess that ubuntu's boot manager repeated windows 7 boot manager.
[10:07] <svetlana> thank you, i can allow for that your term is correct, but i don't know how it helps me to gain orientation about my question
[10:07] <k1l_> svetlana: are you sure about gdm? ubuntu standard is lightdm since some time
[10:08] <svetlana> i live i a cave, i updated by hand instead of reinstall, so i am still on gdm
[10:08] <svetlana> in
[10:08] <k1l_> svetlana: what?
[10:08] <jootor> i am downloadin de boot repair nw
[10:08] <k1l_> what does "by hand" mean? what ubuntu are you on? what was that upgrade from? what desktop are you on?
[10:08] <daftykins> svetlana: search queries. ok i will say nothing in future :)
[10:08] <theadmin> k1l_: Deciphering: she upgraded all the way from back when Ubuntu still used GDM
[10:09] <philip> hello having issue with asterisk
[10:09] <k1l_> it sounds more like doing the old debian way with changing the sources.list.
[10:09] <bubbasaures> wangxufeng, Could not find W7 on the HD, or it was not in the boot menu?
[10:09] <theadmin> k1l_: That would break too many things
[10:09] <bazhang> try #asterisk philip
[10:10] <wangxufeng> yes,i can find win7 HD
[10:10] <wangxufeng> but I can't find in boot
[10:12] <bubbasaures> wangxufeng, Try in the ubuntu terminal running sudo update-grub  and see if windows shows
[10:15] <opt1ckz> Can anyone tell me how to get WiFi to work on ubuntu 14.04 + cinnamon? For some reason it wont even turn on let alone find a network. ;/
[10:17] <bubbasaures> opt1ckz, cinnamon in 14.04 is from a ppa, ppa's are not supported here, you would have to contact the maintainer.
[10:17] <faryshta_> join #yii
[10:17] <theadmin> Um.
[10:17] <theadmin> bubbasaures: Cinnamon is in the official repos.
[10:17] <theadmin> Since 13.10 I think?
[10:17] <bubbasaures> theadmin, 14.10 yes
[10:17] <theadmin> !info cinnamon
[10:17] <theadmin> Oh.

[10:17] <theadmin> !info cinnamon trusty
[10:18] <theadmin> Yeah guess not.
[10:18] <bubbasaures> does not mean no help, just is a ppa is all, some will help
[10:19] <bazhang> !info cinnamon
[10:19] <theadmin> opt1ckz: Does wi-fi work on other desktops?
[10:19] <bazhang> utopic has it at least
[10:19] <theadmin> bazhang: Trusty doesn't (just checked)
[10:20] <theadmin> 14.04 is Trusty, right?
[10:20] <bazhang> theadmin, yep I saw
[10:20] <svetlana> daftykins: sorry, what is a search query?
[10:20] <daftykins> svetlana: nevermind.
[10:21] <svetlana> it sounds like you know an answer but you're not telling
[10:21] <Guest163> $text_input.on("keypress",function(e) {
[10:22] <Guest163>             if(e.charCode >65 && e.charCode <90)
[10:22] <Guest163> console.log('hai');
[10:22] <daftykins> svetlana: don't be ridiculous, i wouldn't knowingly hold back information.
[10:22] <Guest163> })
[10:22] <theadmin> Guest163: uwotm8?
[10:22] <Guest163> wats wrong wit t above code?
[10:22] <theadmin> Guest163: Either you're posting in the wrong channel, or the wrong application :P
[10:23] <svetlana> ok
[10:23] <wangxufeng> wrong channel
[10:23] <theadmin> Guest163: Well, I assume you're writing jQuery code. You may want something like $("text_input").on(...)
[10:23] <theadmin> Guest163: But I am not very familiar, so I can't help much further.
[10:23] <svetlana> in which file can i specify gdm sessions which i see in the list when i log in?
[10:24] <Guest163> i hv written a js
[10:24] <k1l_> svetlana: i asked you for some more details to get to know your setup to help you.
[10:24] <Guest163>         $text_input.on("keypress",function(e) {
[10:24] <Guest163>             
[10:24] <Guest163>             if(e.charCode >65 && e.charCode <90)
[10:24] <Guest163>                 console.log('hai');
[10:24] <Guest163>         })
[10:24] <unopaste> Guest163 you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[10:24] <theadmin> Guest163: In proper JavaScript, you would do document.getElementById("text_input").onkeypress = function(e){ if(e.charCode > 65 && e.charCode < 90) console.log("Hi"); }
[10:24] <svetlana> k1l_: yes i am using gdm (http://i.imgur.com/pfDj2lf.png)
[10:24] <theadmin> Guest163: Either way this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, go find a JS channel
[10:25] <DJones> svetlana: Not sure if this is what you're looking for http://www.maketecheasier.com/customize-the-gdm-sessions-list/
[10:25] <k1l_> Guest163: this is a ubuntu support channel. dont you think your issue suits better into a js channel?
[10:26] <svetlana> DJones: yes, precisely; thanks

[10:35] <jootor> I have done a boot repair bt still i cannot dual boot
[10:36] <jootor> i can only boot ubuntu pls help
[10:37] <daftykins> jootor: you never replied to my question
[10:38] <cristian_c> k1l_, I've tried with vlc and '-' key
[10:38] <daftykins> jootor: which image did you see booting your ubuntu media? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode
[10:38] <daftykins> (when you installed)
[10:39] <bubbasaures> jootor, boot repair was bad advice without more info so it's used correctly if usable.
[10:39] <jootor> sorry
[10:39] <jootor> i only can boot ubuntu
[10:40] <jootor> daftykins: i still cant dual boot
[10:40] <daftykins> jootor: answer my question please.
[10:41] <cfhowlett> jootor, you're repeating yourself needlessly.  answer this question.  >>>> jootor: which image did you see booting your ubuntu media? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_the_computer_boots_the_HDD_in_EFI_mode
[10:41] <jootor> <daftykins: pls question again
[10:41] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[10:41] <daftykins> it's on the same screen!
[10:41] <cfhowlett> daftykins, screenshots ?
[10:42] <daftykins> well my question, depending on IRC client size
[10:44] <jootor> if i understand ur question  its saying legacy boot on HDD
[10:44] <daftykins> "its saying" ?
[10:45] <daftykins> jootor: i'm asking which of the pictures you saw when you booted the install of ubuntu, the purple one or the black screen with white box + text?
[10:46] <jootor> <daftykins: PURPLE PLS
[10:48] <daftykins> jootor: huzzah, got there eventually. run the terminal application and type "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and paste the link here
[10:49] <cristian_c> p0ss, I've opened the file with openshot
[10:49] <linux> fefea
[10:49] <cristian_c> p0ss, I don't find controls for slowing the video
[10:50] <gry> cristian_c: maybe it's an audio file then?

[10:50] <brook_> hi, I just copied some old configure files (hidden in the ~ directory) to my new '~' directory, and reboot. then I could not login with the infomation "permission denied". After this, I tried to login as a normal user in the non-X environment, and strangely logged in with the information "No directory, logging in with HOME=/". then I was in '/' directory. I tried "ls /home/myusername", and got another "permission denied." I am the user, but can not access my
[10:50] <brook_> file! Only when I change my id into root, I can access '/home/myusername'. Could anyone help me?
[10:51] <daftykins> brook_: chown it to your username
[10:51] <gry> brook_: try reading ┬½ls -lad /home/myusername┬╗
[10:52] <gry> brook_: it'll show you perms (you, group, all in rwx format) and then the user and group who owns the directory. should be your user and your group.
[10:52] <EriC^^> brook_: please type ls -ld /home
[10:53] <gry> EriC^^: I told him that already?
[10:53] <jootor> daftykins: are u der pls
[10:53] <EriC^^> gry: no you didn't
[10:53] <EriC^^> i was talking about /home
[10:53] <brook_> yeah, I have do this "chown my:my /home/my", and "ls -lh" shows that them were owned to 'my'. but when I login as 'my', still permission denied, and I can only access them when I am root
[10:53] <daftykins> jootor: yes, i'm thinking. did you try "sudo update-grub" as instructed earlier?
[10:53] <EriC^^> brook_: please type ls -ld /home and paste here
[10:53] <gry> EriC^^: both commands would show the same output about that directory -- not the directories inside it.
[10:54] <jootor> yes
[10:54] <brook_> okay
[10:54] <daftykins> brook_: "chown -R my: /home/my"
[10:54] <EriC^^> gry: no yours will show the user's home dir, mine wil show the /home dir
[10:55] <gry> EriC^^: do you mean mine will show contents inside? because I think it would not go inside.
[10:55] <gry> EriC^^: and if it doesn't, the output is the same.
[10:55] <EriC^^> gry: it will show the /home/user
[10:55] <EriC^^> my god
[10:55] <EriC^^> you: ls -ld /home/user , me: ls -ld /home
[10:55] <daftykins> might be best to focus on the help rather than the nitpicking :>
[10:56] <EriC^^> i am!
[10:56] <daftykins> EriC^^: i meant gry ;)
[10:56] <EriC^^> brook_: 3rd time, please type ls -ld /home if you want
[10:56] <EriC^^> daftykins: oh ok :D
[10:57] <gry> EriC^^: ok
[10:57] <brook_> just wait a few munute, please! I will type in the result, now I'm using another PC
[10:57] <gry> EriC^^: sorry, I thought we have to check another directory first. I'm not ready to jumping from one task to another like that. I apologize.
[10:57] <brook_> sorry for the delay
[10:57] <EriC^^> gry: it's ok no worries :)
[10:58] <gry> daftykins: thanks. (I again couldn't understand the reason for switch of focus, and I still can't, but that's alright).
[11:03] <Siilwyn> Does anybody know if the new Ubuntu icons are planned for 15.04?
[11:03] <cfhowlett> !ubuntu+1 | Siilwyn,
[11:03] <Siilwyn> oh right
[11:04] <EriC^^> gry: i wanted to check /home to see if he had +x to it, cause he said he can't see his files even though they're owned by him, if there are dirs before it that he wodnes't have +x to that can happen
[11:04] <ppg_emil> join #kubuntu
[11:04] <Siilwyn> Can I talk about general future of features here or?
[11:04] <EriC^^> *wodnes't=doesn't
[11:05] <bubbasaures>  Siilwyn This is just direct support is all.
[11:06] <Siilwyn> bubbasaures, OK, that's clear. I thought general Ubuntu talk too but that's #ubuntu-offtopic correct?
[11:08] <bubbasaures> Siilwyn, Yeah the offtopic would work.
[11:08] <jootor> I need help dual booting i can only boot ubuntu now bt i have w7 as well installed on pc
[11:08] <brook__> well, thank god, I tried "chown -R /home/brook", then now I can login with the X enviroment. when I typing "ls .", all the dirs and files are there. BUT:
[11:09] <brook__> brook@brook-Aspire-4552G:~$ ls -ld
[11:09] <brook__> drwxr-xr-x 41 brook brook 4096  1µ£ł  6 19:05 .
[11:09] <brook__> nothing appear.
[11:09] <brook__> although they are there.
[11:09] <EriC^^> brook__: ls -la
[11:09] <Siilwyn> bubbasaures, alright thanks. Later folks ^^
[11:10] <cristian_c> gry, no
[11:10] <brook__> yeah, it works!
[11:10] <cristian_c> grany ideas?
[11:10] <cristian_c> gry, any ideas?
[11:10] <brook__> they are not treated as 'dir'
[11:11] <bubbasaures> jootor, Did you save the bootinfo summary url shown you when running bootrepair?
[11:14] <brook__> a few minutes before I rm all the hidden files, and "chown -R", and it works. now I'll try to copy some old config files back.
[11:14] <jootor> yes
[11:14] <brook__> After all, now I can login, thank god!
[11:15] <bubbasaures> jootor, Note we use each others nicks as a preface, lets see that url.

[11:16] <frenda> Hot can make an NTFSed USB stick mark as bootable?
[11:16] <bubbasaures> jootor, Thanks looking at it.
[11:16] <frenda> can I*
[11:17] <jootor> bubbasausres: ok
[11:17] <bubbasaures> jootor, Looks like you missing some boot stuff in windows, did you resize windows with the installer?
[11:17] <cfhowlett> bubbasaures, lines 581, 616 dis read error
[11:21] <bubbasaures> jootor, At the least your missing /Windows/System32/winload.exe in the sda3 partition, looks to be more issue though possibly, this is actually a windows issue not ubuntu.
[11:26] <brook__> EriC^^: I checked my /home/brook, and found all the file were "+x", and recognized I had tried "chomd 755", your guess was right!  orz
[11:27] <Dlabz> Hi all. I need to install SSL on a server with public IP and no domain name. Can that be done? A link to a guide would be usefull. Thanks.
[11:30] <daftykins> Dlabz: you mean so you can SSH in?
[11:30] <daftykins> or to host an HTTPS page?
[11:31] <Dlabz> host https page, daftykins
[11:31] <daftykins> no idea then
[11:31] <daftykins> pretty sure you need a certificate if it's to be trusted
[11:32] <Dlabz> daftykins: right, but creating certificate requires a domain name, so that's my problem
[11:33] <daftykins> mmm, makes sense. guess you're out of luck then :)
[11:34] <jootor> bubbasausres: hi
[11:34] <m1dnight_> is anyone here using guake?
[11:35] <urlaubix> Dlabz: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1095780/are-ssl-certificates-bound-to-the-servers-ip-address
[11:35] <m1dnight_> I've installed it but when I press f12 to show, it always shows on the first monitor, not where it was.
[11:35] <m1dnight_> (dual monitor setup)
[11:35] <Dlabz> thanks, urlaubix
[11:36] <lotuspsychje> m1dnight_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/443843/how-to-use-guake-at-right-side-monitor-in-dual-display-environment
[11:38] <jootor> bubbasausres: hi
[11:39] <m1dnight_> yeah I found that, but that's the start position.
[11:39] <m1dnight_> I drag and replace it but when hide/show it again it doesnt remember it's position
[11:39] <m1dnight_> but no biggie
[11:39] <jootor> I need help dual booting, i can only boot ubuntu now bt i have w7 as well installed on pc
[11:39] <Hercules> can anyone please send me a free disc, I am of 14 and have a poor internet connection. I don't have any payment method to purchase an disc
[11:40] <m1dnight_> I always have good luck with ubuntu boot reapair jootor
[11:40] <m1dnight_> try it
[11:40] <daftykins> jootor: you were told it's a Windows problem now, go ask in ##windows
[11:40] <stevenm> Is there a way of configuring apt to redirect a package name to another?   e.g. when installing package X it requires Y but it installs Z instead satisfying the requirements of Y.
[11:40] <ame_> can i install ubun tu for my mobile which is an android phone?
[11:40] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: take your lapop o a wifi hotspot and download ubuntu
[11:41] <lotuspsychje> !touch | ame_
[11:41] <Hercules> In India there are very less free WiFi
[11:41] <Hercules> In my area, there are none.
[11:41] <jootor> daftykins: hmmm ok
[11:41] <dai_wrk> Hercules: try your local library, they may even have a copy already
[11:42] <Hercules> I don't think there is one.
[11:42] <Hercules> I already tried the things.
[11:42] <DJones> ame_: It would depend on your phone, probably the best place to ask and get advice will be #ubuntu-touch the people in that channel will be best placed to ask
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: or download the ubunu torrent, and let it download a few weeks :p
[11:42] <jootor> daftykins: so hw do i quary gogle or windows?
[11:42] <Hercules> On 5 kbps connection
[11:42] <daftykins> Hercules: ask in #ubuntu-in - maybe you can find someone near you that can provide one
[11:43] <Hercules> then It would take um.. 5 years ?
[11:43] <Hercules> They are active, daftykins
[11:43] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: how poor is your connection lol?
[11:43] <daftykins> Hercules: active? that's a good thing
[11:43] <Hercules> Its very poor connection, stupid Vodafone.
[11:44] <stangeland> how do i see what cronjobs are running on a machine?
[11:44] <daftykins> jootor: say your winload is missing i think - bubbasaures ?
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> !cron | stangeland
[11:44] <jootor> daftykins: ok
[11:45] <Hercules> can anyone send me a disc, please ?
[11:45] <m1dnight_> where do you live Hercules ?
[11:45] <daftykins> Hercules: can you explain again why asking in #ubuntu-in wasn't an option? did you mean to say it's inactive?
[11:46] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: follow daftykins sugestion, someone from india might bring a cd to you
[11:46] <bubbasaures> jootor, Did you resize windows from the front of it's partition, and or with the ubuntu installer?
[11:46] <cfhowlett> Hercules, there is a very active ubuntu-India group.   ask themj.
[11:47] <Hercules> On #ubuntu-in
[11:47]  * lotuspsychje prays to ganesh someone brings him an ubuntu disc
[11:47] <Hercules> I don't find anyone active.
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: have a little patience, there will be
[11:48] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Heh, we can't even get enough info to help, oh well. ;)
[11:48] <urlaubix> Hercules: have you tried this: http://www.labnol.org/internet/ubuntu-in-india-get-free-ubuntu-cds-and-dvds/630/
[11:49] <jootor> <bubbasaures: yes bf installing ubuntu
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> lol
[11:49] <daftykins> Hercules: try contacting this user group - http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/indian-team/
i guess dat is de cause
[11:49] <bubbasaures> jootor, That does not answer the question.
[11:49] <opt1ckz> Since I switched to Ubuntu 14.04 my WiFi wont work at all. I cant switch it on (keyboard or settings) and It wont even find networks... any ideas?
[11:49] <Hercules> shipit is closed :(
[11:50] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: wifi chipset plz?
[11:50] <bubbasaures> jootor, Was that a yes you moved the front of the windows partition, because that is a bad thing to do, it bricks MS.
[11:50] <jootor> <bubbasaures: i did resized w7 partition fr installing ubuntu
[11:51] <daftykins> bubbasaures: indeed *rolleyes* very tough customer
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: sudo lshw -C network
[11:51] <bubbasaures> jootor, Can you make that more clear, and if you understand at all what we say.
[11:52] <jootor> <bubbasaures:den I will start de installation all over again
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> Hercules: if you succeed to get a cd, you own us a cookie
[11:52] <bubbasaures> jootor, Of what?
[11:52] <Hercules> huh ?
[11:52] <opt1ckz> Ok, what info did you need?
[11:52] <Hercules> Sorry! my native language isn't english, I am weak at it.
[11:53] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: sudo lshw -C network
[11:53] <bubbasaures> jootor, Your windows is broken I would fix it, reinstalling ubuntu will not fix it.
 YES i did resize de w7 partition bf installing ubuntu
[11:53] <opt1ckz> product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[11:53] <dai_wrk> jootor: what steps did you take to resize the windows partition?
 i will reinstall both
[11:54] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: did you install ubuntu with cable on/updates?
[11:54] <opt1ckz> yeah
[11:54] <jootor> i guess if that is de cause let me reinstall both os
[11:55] <opt1ckz>        product: AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter
[11:55] <opt1ckz>        vendor: Qualcomm Atheros
[11:55] <bubbasaures> jootor, I would instal windows first than ubuntu after it on the HD is all.
[11:55] <jootor> its fresh installation i did so i have nothing to loose
[11:55] <opt1ckz> oop sorry
[11:55] <lotuspsychje> !atheros | opt1ckz
[11:55] <jootor> I installed w7 first den after i intsalled ubuntu
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> jootor: make your life easy and install ubuntu on full hd, loose windows once and for good :p
[11:56] <jootor> guess i hav to go n start all over again
[11:56] <jootor> i am new to ubuntu
[11:57] <jootor> so it will take time
[11:57] <bubbasaures> jootor, Both installs take abou 20 min.
[11:57] <bubbasaures> about*
[11:57] <opt1ckz> I got this laptop last christmas... quad core amd, 6g ram, 1tb hd, beats audio... windows 8 decided to force update to 8.1 and black screened me one month after i got it
[11:57] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: might be a driver/firmware malfunctioning
[11:57] <opt1ckz> windows sucks
[11:57] <jootor> thank u all n buy fr now
[11:58] <lotuspsychje> win8 is a nightmare indeed
[11:58] <bubbasaures> jootor, Windows has a manual install use it so you have a partition not needing a resizing and you have unallocated space for ubuntu.
[11:58] <opt1ckz> Yup... all I wanted to do was work in VS2013/WPF, thats all.
[11:58] <bubbasaures> it was W7 msdos no big problem but the user
[11:59] <opt1ckz> MonoDevelop isnt bad but I really miss WPF
[11:59] <aeo1ack> Should loading nvidiafb.ko module automatically start framebuffer?
[11:59] <lotuspsychje> opt1ckz: you might wanna check syslog or dmesg errors on your atheros
[11:59] <daftykins> windows hate is off topic and should be directed to /dev/null please :)
[11:59] <bubbasaures> ruins your street cred to
[12:01] <lotuspsychje> !find nvidiafb
[12:02] <aeo1ack> ?
[12:04] <lotuspsychje> aeo1ack: wich grafix driver are you using?
[12:09] <aeo1ackn> lotuspsychje: Xorg uses nvidia_drv.so
[12:10] <lotuspsychje> aeo1ackn: check the first answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/271613/am-i-using-the-nouveau-driver-or-the-proprietary-nvidia-driver
[12:10] <dannymichel> i have a drive that i want to rsync to 2 different drives on one dedicated server. i want to rsync all folder on this drive from the name on top(which starts with '!!!') to the 'M's. I also want to rsync the folders in this drive from the 'N's to the last folder(which ends in an asian character) to the other drive - all in name order. Any ideas?
[12:14] <aeo1ackn> lotuspsychje: I want framebuffer so the description there doesn't apply
[12:15] <marlo_> i've got a machine converted from windows that has a couple of raid drives in it, probably with an internal hardware raid controller.... how do i get these drives removed from the raid and just run them as regular drives?
[12:15] <marlo_> or even manage them for that matter?
[12:16] <lotuspsychje> !raid | marlo_
[12:16] <marlo_> thank you
[12:17] <lotuspsychje> aeo1ackn: whats your end goal exactly with this?
[12:17] <roo79x> hi all silly question I just brought a second hand Dell laptop, Is there a way I can tell / find out what generation core I5 it has?
[12:17] <aeo1ackn> lotuspsychje: using linux console with better resolution
[12:18] <lotuspsychje> roo79x: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[12:18] <lotuspsychje> aeo1ackn: did you try to switch grafix drivers?
[12:18] <roo79x> hey thanks will do just installing xubuntu on it now
[12:19] <lotuspsychje> roo79x: good luck!
[12:19] <aeo1ackn> lotuspsychje: how to do that? I'm not familiar with grafix drivers (or you mean graphics drivers, however which ones, of X11? switching linux graphics driver is loading a *fb.ko module, isn't it?)
[12:20] <solsTiCe> *fb.ko is for framebuffer
[12:20] <lotuspsychje> aeo1ackn: check your additional drivers section
[12:20] <solsTiCe> aeo1ackn: have you read the link posted by lotuspsychje
[12:20] <roo79x> I could install xubuntu all day long, strange I know but I find it fun
[12:20] <aeo1ackn> solsTiCe: yes, I need framebuffer console. In times of 2.x kernel you just loaded like tdfxfb.ko and that was pretty it
[12:21] <theadmin> dannymichel: Well, you can glob-match the first group as [\!a-mA-M]* and then the second one as [!\!a-mA-M]*
[12:22] <Apachez> finally the xmas holidays vacations are over... ubuntu just released some new updates =)
[12:23] <dannymichel> rsync -av  /local/path/+([\!a-mA-M]*) me@ipaddress:/media/some rsync -av  /local/path/+([!\!a-mA-M]*) me@ipaddress:/media/some theadmin?
[12:23] <theadmin> dannymichel: Sort of. I'm not sure how rsync works.
[12:23] <dannymichel> ok thanks
[12:24] <lotuspsychje> dannymichel: maybe the #rsync guys might know?
[12:24] <dannymichel> thanks
[12:24] <dannymichel> wait, both were !\!a-mA-M theadmin
[12:25] <dannymichel> join #rsync
[12:25] <theadmin> dannymichel: No
[12:25] <dannymichel> oops
[12:25] <theadmin> dannymichel: The first was [\!a-mA-M]* and the second was [!\!a-mA-M]*
[12:25] <theadmin> Extra ! at the beginning to negate the match
[12:25] <dannymichel> oh ok
[12:25] <dannymichel> !
[12:30] <dannymichel> !\!a-mA-M] means starting from 'N' to the last, theadmin?
[12:30] <theadmin> dannymichel: It means "not starting with a ! or a-m"
[12:30] <dannymichel> ok
[12:38] <onemansubmarine> hello I try to figure out how to change the default permission on login
[12:38] <onemansubmarine> I know I have to edit the file /etc/login.defs
[12:39] <onemansubmarine> is it right?
[12:39] <onemansubmarine> Then there is a line "UMASK022"
[12:39] <solsTiCe> what permission
[12:39] <onemansubmarine> for newly created files and folders
[12:40] <lotuspsychje> !details | onemansubmarine
[12:40] <onemansubmarine> now, the permission for new files is that the world can only read but not write
[12:41] <onemansubmarine> I want that new created files can be written by everyone
[12:41] <lotuspsychje> !chmod | onemansubmarine
[12:42] <onemansubmarine> lotuspsychje: this only changes the permission for once, but everytime a new file is created, it takes on the default permission
[12:42] <solsTiCe> onemansubmarine: you can use umask in your .bashrc
[12:43] <solsTiCe> it's not really a good idea to have world writeable file. I assume you know what your doing
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> onemansubmarine: maybe if you explain your purpose?
[12:44] <onemansubmarine> lotuspsychje: I want to have a folder such that files created in that folder is writable by everyone
[12:45] <lotuspsychje> onemansubmarine: you could find an online way to share files between several users?
[12:46] <somsip> onemansubmarine: add them to a group, make the folder under that group andf chmod g+s so anything added in the folder will be r/w to all group members
[12:47] <solsTiCe> onemansubmarine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2124339
[12:47] <onemansubmarine> somsip: Thx!
[12:47] <KingFunny> is anybody here, who has experience with remastersys and ubuntu 14.10 ?
[12:47] <somsip> onemansubmarine: finer details http://www.library.yale.edu/wsg/docs/permissions/sgid.htm
[12:47] <cfhowlett> !info remastersys
[12:48] <cfhowlett> KingFunny, remastersys is abandonware IIRC
[12:48] <k1l_> KingFunny: afaik remastersys is deprecated
[12:48] <KingFunny> ?
[12:48] <KingFunny> and what is a good alternative ?
[12:48] <cfhowlett> KingFunny, ubuntu customization kit?
[12:49] <flux242> onemansubmarine: if you want a folder where all users can read and write files then maybe acl it the way to go
[12:49] <cfhowlett> !uck | KingFunny
[12:49] <KingFunny> not really, because there I can't create a live-cd with installer
[12:50] <KingFunny> thanks, I will take a look!

[12:53] <BluesKaj_> Hiyas all
[12:55] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj_: hi mate
[12:55] <BluesKaj_> hey lotuspsychje
[12:56] <marlo_> ok, got my hw raid sorted out, it's ntfs mountable from /dev/mapper/isw_lotsofrandomletters_Volume0p1... what I'd like to do is reformat that partition as btrfs or just ext4 or something non-ntfs...
[12:57] <marlo_> parted doesn't seem to be able to grab it
[12:57] <lotuspsychje> !btrfs | marlo_
[12:59] <marlo_> lotuspsychje, yes i'm aware... ext4 would be fine, how do i release this ntfs raid array from the clutches of windows, and get it repartitioned as ext4 ?
[13:04] <feurd> This is probably not the appropriate place to ask that, but what's the difference between a directory and a repository?
[13:05] <Ben64> feurd: they're not even close to similar
[13:06] <feurd> Ben64: Oh. Sorry I'm not native english and since then I thought it was the same, but I realize it's not.
[13:07] <feurd> Ok so basically, a repository is the place where is located the source code of a software?
[13:08] <cha0z_> hi, i would like to ask if its possible to browse dejavu backups in order to select some folders to restore.... (not from restore file menu) just a way to browse the encrypted backup tahnks in advance
[13:09] <BluesKaj_> !repository | feurd
[13:13] <ljunggren> Does someone know which channel is for Ubuntu Gnome?
[13:14] <DJones> ljunggren: I think its #ubuntu-gnome
[13:14] <ljunggren> DJones: thanks m8
[13:21] <brook_> Now I understand. I should "+x" for the directory, then I can "cd" the directory.
[13:26] <cadaba> What is the comon casing standard for bash scripts? snake or lowercase?
[13:26] <daftykins> #bash
[13:26] <cadaba> Good point :)
[13:32] <blb31528> hello
[13:33] <daftykins> hi
[13:43] <systemd> anyone can give me an explanation why ubuntu is better than windows ?
[13:44] <cfhowlett> systemd, I can.  download ubuntu.  make a boot USB.  test ubuntu and (this is the key issue.  Are you ready?)  make up your own mind!!@!!
[13:46] <k1l> systemd: its open source and free of charge. now you can load it and see yourself
[13:48] <phre4k> systemd: Ubuntu isn't only free like free beer but also like in freedom. You can be safe from viruses if you use the package manager, you can update all apps at once and don't have to rely on a lot of small background tasks for keeping your system up2date
[13:48] <systemd> Ok, thnks cfhowlett and k1l for the answer, I'll try it
[13:48] <cfhowlett> systemd, happy2help!
[13:48] <flux242> systemd: you'd better ask why systemd better than upstart
[13:48] <phre4k> systemd: which Windows version do you have and what exactly do you want from your system? What do you do every day?
[13:50] <claudio_> exit
[13:51] <madani> Hi
[13:51] <madani> every one
[13:51] <madani> any one tell me, what ide is better for linux programming
[13:52] <Pici> The one you like best.
[13:53] <m1dnight_> linux programming?
[13:53] <m1dnight_> you mean C?
[13:53] <m1dnight_> or C++?
[13:53] <flux242> bash ftw!
[13:54] <m1dnight_> haha, an ide for bash :')
[13:54] <m1dnight_> does that even exist?
[13:54] <m1dnight_> wait, this should go into offtopic, i know i know :p
[13:54] <systemd> phre4k, currently I run win7-x64 on my laptop and work on it. I use it for develop a web appliaction and playing games like counter-strike, command and conquer general, etc
[13:56] <breadmonster> How do I install the DivX plugin on Ubuntu?
[13:57] <phre4k> systemd: Counter-Strike runs in Steam for Linux which is available for Ubuntu, but I'd recommend Xubuntu for that (Unity has some issues sometimes) ŌĆō in fact, I believe Xubuntu is a much more polished version of Ubuntu.
[13:57] <phre4k> systemd: try both and see what you like better.
[13:58] <phre4k> systemd: developing web apps in Linux is a much better experience than in Windows and I think Generals runs on WINE. check winehq.org
[13:58] <phre4k> breadmonster: you don't really. What are you trying to achieve? Usually the gstreamer plugins are enough for DivX playback.
[13:58] <phre4k> madani: I like geany a lot. Lightweight, scriptable IDE
[13:59] <breadmonster> phre4k, Well, I'm trying to stream something in Chrome, and it keeps telling me plugin not supported.
[13:59] <phre4k> breadmonster: which site?
[13:59] <Vandalism> Hello! Can anyone help to organize usage of different domains with different CMS and DB's on single VPS. What is the better way to do it? Thank you!
[13:59] <breadmonster> veehd.com
[14:01] <breadmonster> phre4k, it says "This plugin is not supported." and when I right click, the plugin is identified to be video/divx
[14:02] <systemd> ok phre4k, thanks for your explanation, I'll try both ubuntu & xubuntu to make sure which is better for me.
[14:04] <phre4k> breadmonster: the DivX plugin on Ubuntu is a PITA, maybe just use another site if it's possible.
[14:04] <systemd> ok, one more question, I'm using SSD on my laptop. Is the current version of ubuntu support it ? and will it run well on ubuntu ?. thanks for the answer
[14:04] <breadmonster> phre4k, What's a PITA?
[14:05] <daftykins> systemd: yes.
[14:05] <BluesKaj> breadmonster, i get the same on both chrome and FF , so it's not flash that's blame
[14:05] <BluesKaj> to blame
[14:05] <daftykins> breadmonster: an issue that's a pain in the... *ahem*
[14:05] <breadmonster> Oh okay.
[14:06] <phre4k> breadmonster: if you _really_, REALLY need this site, use your favourite browser with WINE and install the DivX plugin.
[14:06] <phre4k> breadmonster: which is certainly not recommended by any means.
[14:06] <breadmonster> phre4k, Is there no organic solution?
[14:06] <breadmonster> Alright then, I guess.
[14:06] <phre4k> systemd: SSDs are perfectly supported by Linux. Which model of Laptop? We might find solutions to some issues you might encounter ;)
[14:07] <phre4k> breadmonster: vimeo.com, youtube.com, ... don't know if that's suitable for you. Else use WINE, as I said, but it's really a PITA ;)
[14:08] <k1l> breadmonster: veehd.com wirks for me on chrome and firefox on 14.10
[14:08] <breadmonster> k1l, For some reason it doesn't.
[14:08] <breadmonster> How did you install your codecs?
[14:09] <vlt> Hello. My chromium-browser keeps crashing and crashing on Ubuntu 12-04 LTS. Every few clicks I get an "Oh no!" screen. A paste of the terminal output when that happens is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9682275/  Any idea what could cause this?
[14:09] <phre4k> k1l: interesting. I have a lot of plugins installed and it doesn't work on Arch Linux
[14:09] <k1l> i cant remember i did something special there.
[14:09] <blb31528> hello
[14:10] <skweek> hello, is anyone awake?

[14:10] <mekhami> i'm having a problem with sudo not working... iknow my password never changed but all of a sudden I'm getting authentication failure
[14:11] <phre4k> vlt: might be this bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=367037 ŌåÆ solution is there. Maybe downgrade to Chrome <36.0 instead.
[14:11] <k1l> !es | idroj07
[14:11] <phre4k> skweek: since it's 15:00 in my TZ, yes. :D
[14:11] <skweek> :)
[14:11] <k1l> mekhami: see dmesg if its a hardware issue on the hdd
[14:12] <k1l> breadmonster: libxvidcore4 installed?
[14:12] <breadmonster> One second, let me check.
[14:12] <mekhami> k1l i'm also getting Cannot execute zsh: No such file or directory
[14:13] <mekhami> but in /etc/shells i have /bin/zsh and /usr/bin/zsh
[14:13] <BluesKaj> breadmonster, install the divx plugin for vlc in the package manager
[14:13] <breadmonster> k1l: yup installed.
[14:14] <Siilwyn> Welp, I think I accidentally deleted /etc/environment instead of a file within it. What should I do? ;d
[14:15] <WilliamDotAT> restore from an install disk?
[14:15] <wifihelp> hi
[14:15] <Siilwyn> (on a server btw.)
[14:15] <wifihelp> I need help with wifi
[14:15] <k1l> breadmonster: do you have the gstreamer stuff installed?
[14:16] <daftykins> !details | wifihelp on one line please
[14:16] <breadmonster> k1l, I don't think so, what's the package called? gstreamer?
[14:16] <Siilwyn> WilliamDotAT, it's on a server.
[14:16] <dai_wrk> Siilwyn: on my machine /etc/environment is a file not a directory
[14:16] <breadmonster> E: Unable to locate package gstreamer
[14:16] <k1l> breadmonster: "dpkg -l | grep gstreamer"  ii at beginning means its installed
[14:17] <Siilwyn> dai_wrk, alright. So that's probably my mistake. I just deleted it.
[14:17] <breadmonster> Yup, installed.
[14:17] <wifihelp> How I can see my network signal (without to connect to the network) I'm on ubuntu server
[14:17] <Siilwyn> My server is still working but I'm afraid to shut it down now.
[14:17] <dai_wrk> Siilwyn: if it helps, all it contained was: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
[14:17] <k1l> breadmonster: "sudo apt-get install libxvidcore4 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 "
[14:18] <breadmonster> Okay, all that is installed.
[14:18] <breadmonster> interesting. Maybe I should just switch to Windows to watch the video,
[14:18] <Siilwyn> dai_wrk, thanks but I think the content is different per machine.
[14:18] <Siilwyn> Anybody here got an Ubuntu 14.04 server with nginx?
[14:18] <wifihelp> someone?
[14:19] <systemd> hi phre4k, my laptop model is lenovo e431. thank u for your supports
[14:19] <k1l> breadmonster: what ubuntu exactly is that?
[14:19] <k1l> breadmonster: and what exact video are you talking about?
[14:19] <Siilwyn> This is probably the most stupid thing I've ever done.
[14:19] <breadmonster> k1l, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04
[14:20] <BluesKaj> breadmonster, the divx vlc plugin works on FF
[14:21] <vlt> phre4k: Thank you! Setting ulimit before running chromium-browser _seems_ to work for now.
[14:22] <blb31528> WHOIS blb31528
[14:22] <Siilwyn> Anybody knows if I can generate a new /etc/environment file or recover a just deleted one?
[14:22] <wifihelp> How I can see my network signal??
[14:22] <breadmonster> BluesKaj phre4k k1l thanks for your help.
[14:22] <breadmonster> I'll watch the video later in Windows.
[14:23] <breadmonster> k1l, do you have a VeeHD account?
[14:23] <k1l> breadmonster: no.
[14:23] <breadmonster> oh okay.
[14:23] <BluesKaj> breadmonster, it should work in ubuntu as well , it does here
[14:23] <breadmonster> I didn't want to install that horrible player.
[14:23] <phre4k> systemd: this model should work fine out of the box
[14:23] <mekhami> why can't i change my shell what the ~^%#
[14:23] <mekhami> i'm tired of ubuntu's crap
[14:23] <breadmonster> BluesKaj, Don't install the plugin, it's malware.
[14:23] <BluesKaj> it's just a vlc pugin
[14:24] <phre4k> mekhami: usermod -s [shell] [username]
[14:24] <mekhami> every time i try to get root access it says sudo: zsh: command not found
[14:24] <mekhami> it's not even in my installed shells
[14:25] <BluesKaj> breadmonster, maybe it is on windows, but i got the plugin from the ubuntu repository
[14:26] <Pici> mekhami: is it actually installed?
[14:26] <mekhami> pici i explicitly uninstalled it
[14:27] <mekhami> and when i do sudo apt-get blah it works just fine
[14:27] <mekhami> but i'm trying to follow these instructions https://www.hipchat.com/downloads#linux
[14:27] <Pici> mekhami: So what exactly is happening then?
[14:27] <mekhami> even skipping sudo su cause that's not ubuntu
[14:27] <mekhami> i do sudo echo etc
[14:27] <mekhami> or start with sudo -i
[14:28] <mekhami> sudo: zsh: command not found
[14:28] <Pici> mekhami: because you had set root's shell as zsh previously.
[14:28] <phre4k> mekhami: do the following: ls -l /bin/sh
[14:28] <phre4k> mekhami: and then sudo usermod -s /bin/bash root
[14:29] <phre4k> maybe you have to edit /etc/passwd and change the shell manually, but be careful
[14:29] <mekhami> ah there we go
[14:29] <mekhami> thanks
[14:30] <phre4k> that said, don't install hipchat, use vanilla jabber instead :D
[14:30] <mekhami> does it have hipchat integration?
[14:30] <mekhami> this is a work thing :/
[14:30] <phre4k> if you only want chat I believe you can use the hipchat servers with a normal Jabber client
[14:31] <mwic> hey guys I'm having trouble wirelessly connecting to ATT Uverse; I can connect to other networks, and other machines here can connect to the Uverse, but I can't with Ubuntu 12.4, ath9k

[14:34] <coldcut> I have a question
[14:34] <hoqss> hello, i'm trying to use my nvidia gpu on my laptop with optimus technology. I activated the nvidia 331 driver , rebooted but this produce freezes of the screen , laptop works fine with nouveau , any idea plz ?
[14:35] <coldcut> Is there an business planning software in linux
[14:35] <phre4k> mwic: is it a router? Is it WAN? What is it?
[14:35] <mwic> yes they gave us a router
[14:35] <phre4k> coldcut: what exactly do you need? ERP, CRM, ...?
[14:35] <mwic> it's internet access
[14:35] <mekhami> phre4k, it's an ISP. uverse is an isp.
[14:36] <phre4k> mwic: aaah, so you can't connect to the internet via Ethernet cable?
[14:36] <coldcut> i need to write a busniness plan
[14:36] <mwic> I don't have an ethernet cable
[14:36] <coldcut> thanks phre4k for the reply
[14:36] <mwic> I can connect to one of the networks in my list wirelessly, but not the Uverse one
[14:36] <mekhami> mwic, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=891269
[14:37] <phre4k> mwic: run "ip a" and look if you get a link. Then ping your router (you see its adress next to "gateway:") with "ping [Gateway IP]"
[14:37] <k1l> mwic: we dont know uverse. please explain the setup.
[14:37] <Siilwyn> dai_wrk, thanks for your contents, I asked around at #ubuntu-server and discovered that it probably had the standard content you send me.
[14:37] <phre4k> coldcut: usually you write a business plan with an office suite like LibreOffice.
[14:37] <dai_wrk> Siilwyn: no worries, glad it was a simple fix
[14:38] <phre4k> coldcut: for which kind of business? Which data do you need in it? LibreOffice is the equivalent to MS Office in the Microsoft world.
[14:38] <coldcut> I know but there is a business software called business pro for paloalto
[14:38] <coldcut> the bakery
[14:38] <coldcut> I already have libre office
[14:38] <mwic> mekhami, I found that thread but it didn't help (it's 5 years old)
[14:39] <dai_wrk> coldcut: what do you actually want the software to do?
[14:39] <coldcut> to write a busness plan
[14:39] <dai_wrk> well then you would use a word processor
[14:40] <coldcut> dai_work here is a link
[14:40] <phre4k> coldcut: actually, they have an online version which is called Online Edition. Look it up on their website. If you want to write a business plan with such a software your business is already lost btw.
[14:40] <coldcut> http://www.paloalto.com/business_plan_software
[14:41] <coldcut> yea i know but i want something i can be offline with
[14:41] <phre4k> coldcut: use LibreOffice and copy/paste a template text in it.
[14:41] <coldcut> phre4k: I was just wandering
[14:41] <coldcut> yea i already have one
[14:41] <daftykins> coldcut: paper and pen is offline.
[14:42] <phre4k> coldcut: the whole world does business plans with office suites, the PaloAlto whatever you mentioned is utter crap imho.
[14:42] <coldcut> daftkins: it is
[14:42] <Quadrature> Say i have a class Graph that will have various subclasses (such as coloredGraph, in which vertices may have colors). What would be the right way to write a .getInducedSubgraph() method that will always return an object of the same type as the instance it was called on? Or do I just implement it independently for each subclass?
[14:42] <coldcut> ok
[14:42] <phre4k> coldcut: pen&paper is actually not even a bad idea
[14:42] <coldcut> true
[14:42] <Quadrature> oops, wrong room
[14:42] <phre4k> Quadrature: wrong channel? :D
[14:42] <daftykins> sure was.
[14:43] <coldcut> i am trying to do something both i and my partner can do as she is not too good with calc
[14:43] <coldcut> neither i'm i
[14:43] <phre4k> coldcut: learn it, srsly
[14:43] <coldcut> yea
[14:43] <coldcut> i guess your right
[14:43] <coldcut> i was just looking for something simple
[14:44] <mwic> phre4k output of `ip a` doesn't mention the gateway
[14:44] <mwic> http://pastebin.com/uEUyYe7C
[14:44] <phre4k> there are a lot of text and video tutorials. You need office program skills in a 2015 business.
[14:44] <coldcut> with no learning curve as i am doing a ton of other stufff
[14:44] <mwic> I found a "residential gateway" at 192.168.0.1
[14:44] <phre4k> mwic: oh, sorry. Didn't remember. However, the gateway would be 192.168.0.1
[14:45] <coldcut> phre4k: i will check youtude
[14:45] <phre4k> ping that and then ping google.com
[14:45] <phre4k> or whatever URL you like
[14:45] <phre4k> *domain
[14:46] <coldcut> Thanks guys
[14:46] <coldcut> for the info
[14:46] <coldcut> heading to youtube to see what i can learn there
[14:46] <coldcut> phre4k: later
[14:47] <phre4k> coldcut: maybe also check edX.org for a course in something business ;)
[14:48] <coldcut> ok'
[14:48] <coldcut> later

[15:01] <mwic> well it looks like i'll have to buy an ethernet cable
[15:02] <phre4k> mwic: we didn't even diagnose anything yet :D
[15:02] <phre4k> could you ping the router?
[15:02] <daftykins> mwic: welcome to the fast lane
[15:02] <phre4k> mwic: I bet the ATT router is crap ;)
[15:03] <mwic> just don't have time to figure out whether WPA2 will work when ath9k has hardware encryption turned on, or whether I need hardware encryption off and WEP but uncheck "Available to all users" and so on
[15:09] <phre4k> ...ok.

[15:19] <hackal> Hello I would like to power off my VPS (ubuntu 14). I am running wordpress on it. Is there a safe command which would turn off my vps without loosing any data?
[15:20] <daftykins> sudo shutdown -h 0
[15:20] <daftykins> hackal: but why turn off a VPS 0o
[15:20] <pbx> hackal, or check your VPS provider's docs for their recommendation for shutdown/startup
[15:22] <hackal> pbx: using DigitalOcean. They have snapshot feature but my VPS needs to be turned off. I could use their "Power Off" but they warn me that it is same as hard resetting and it may cause data corruption.
[15:23] <k1l> hackal: sudo shutdown -hP now
[15:23] <daftykins> hackal: pretty sure digitalocean ones need to be destroyed to not incur cost, not just turned off?
[15:24] <hackal> daftykins: yes I just need to turn off for 5min and turn on back again.
[15:28] <hackal> What does apache2 do when memory is full? Does it restart itself?
[15:31] <daftykins> hackal: the Linux kernel starts killing processes to defend the system
[15:38] <ioria> hi
[15:38] <frenda> Using UnetBootIn, Can the USB stick be in the format of NTFS?
[15:39] <k1l> frenda: no. it needs to be fat. but unetbootin will format it anyway
[15:39] <frenda> ok
[15:39] <frenda> tnx
[15:40] <zxc> .
[15:41] <lucidguy> k1l never understood why unetbootin created fat filesystems
[15:41] <lucidguy> even thought the OS is linux/ext*
[15:41] <k1l> lucidguy: so does the iso. i think that is a booting support issue
[15:42] <daftykins> lucidguy: because EFI reads FAT
[15:43] <zCoder> HI
[15:43] <daftykins> uh-oh
[15:44] <zCoder> a script that i am running off my ubuntu server for some reason isnt sending email. What log files can i look at to see if there are errorS?
[15:44] <asynechiea> Is there any way to make my home folder private to other users without encrypting it?
[15:44] <stangeland> hi, is it somehow possiblehi, i have this dir: drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 Dec 16 11:11 disks. i am logged in as root, but i cannot create any directories inside /disks. I just get permission denied - even though i am root...also i cannot create files there. what am i doing wrong?
[15:45] <k1l> asynechiea: remove the "other" reading rights on the home folder
[15:47] <whitor> Hi All, My computer just started locking up very often. (7x today already) random points... on startup after displaying the mouse, while searching for xchat in the software center, while operating a terminal... It /had/ been working ok for many months. the only recent software change is adding Steam, but it did function fine for a while after installing this. I'm running ver 14.04 lts  Are there any testing tools (besides memtestx86 (which
[15:47] <whitor>  passed btw)) that I can use for the OS ?
[15:47] <daftykins> are you on it right now in a live session?
[15:47] <asynechiea> thanks k1l!
[15:47] <whitor> daftykins, yes... so I could sdrop at any time
[15:48] <daftykins> whitor: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" and share the link please
[15:48] <daftykins> (assuming sda is your system hard disk there)
[15:51] <asynechiea> k1l, will changing those permissions also lock out other admins, or only standard accounts?
[15:51] <k1l> if another user can use sudo he can read it anyway
[15:52] <asynechiea> ok, no problem, i'll just make the other user a Standard User
[15:52] <asynechiea> thank again!
[15:52] <asynechiea> thanks*
[15:53] <Guest25113> I just installed Ubuntu last night. The installer said everything was fine, but when I rebooted, my computer's firmware said it couldn't find a bootable device.
[15:53] <Thumpxr_> hey guys. i have enabled 144hz in my amdcccle and rebooted the system. but i cant see those 144hz. its like 60hz.
[15:53] <daftykins> Thumpxr_: what are you testing with?
[15:53] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, my monitor is 144hz capable, so i want to use it
[15:54] <daftykins> right but what is making you claim you're seeing 60Hz?
[15:54] <vagrant_> gui exit
[15:54] <daftykins> "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" lets see what it thinks is going on
[15:54] <Guest25113> I used the normal Ubuntu 14.10 desktop 64-bit image and chose to set up an encrypted LVM.
[15:55] <Darkengeek> join #kali-linux
[15:55] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9682770/
[15:57] <Oltarus> Hi!
[15:57] <daftykins> Thumpxr_: do you have one screen or more?
[15:57] <karol> Hello ;)
[15:58] <daftykins> hi
[15:58] <Thumpxr_> dual screen.
[15:59] <daftykins> identical?
[15:59] <Guest25113> I'm currently booted to the livedisk I used to install. This is the output of `fdisk -l`: https://pastee.org/dgwhx
[15:59] <daftykins> nope samsung and BenQ
[15:59] <Thumpxr_> asus ve248h and benq xl2411z. both 1920x1080. left one (asus) vertical. benq right horizontal
[16:00] <Thumpxr_> samsung is my tv, connected, but not active
[16:00] <lucidguy> I know you can run a remote command via ssh like ssh user@server "command"    .. But can you do this also including sudo somehow?  I get the no tty askpass error
[16:00] <daftykins> which does this silly refresh rate? :)
[16:00] <Thumpxr_> the benq should 144hz but i see just 60
[16:01] <lucidguy> For example how can I  ssh user@server ' sudo acommand'
[16:01] <daftykins> Thumpxr_: there we go line 738, it knows it's capable
[16:04] <lucidguy> figured it out, just needed -t
[16:05] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, yes. and in the amdcccle its still displayed as 144hz. btw, dualboot windows, there its no problem. so cable etc. arent the issue
[16:07] <daftykins> Thumpxr_: i know. probably just classic bad AMD drivers, looks like you're trying to force refresh via the xorg.conf ? CCC wrote one from some GUI config presumably? you need to fight with it to tell it display 2 (DFP-10) needs to be 144. also, test with the other two disconnected. is this the latest driver too?
[16:08] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, latest beta driver.. yeah, played a bit with the xorg yesterday
[16:11] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, will be afk for the next 1-3 hours. can you pm me some suggestions so i may come back to you ?
[16:12] <daftykins> Thumpxr_: nah, i don't take queries to PM. i've given you plenty to mess with :P
[16:12] <Thumpxr_> daftykins, okay, thanks anyway!
[16:12] <daftykins> np
[16:15] <zamba> i need php4.. which version of ubuntu has that available as a package?
[16:17] <deSouza> hello, i had 14.04 installed and then i upgraded to 14.10 in a laptop... It keeps exiting windows idk how. Maybe when i type too close to the touchpad?
[16:17] <zCoder> can anyone please tell me how to update postfix password?
[16:19] <HamRadio> deSouza: It's always good to do a clean install....
[16:19] <HamRadio> and plus, there is really no reason to update froom 14.04 to 14.10
[16:20] <HamRadio> There isn't anything new in 14.10 except some updates which you can get from PPA for 14.04, plus 14.04 being more stable
[16:21] <deSouza> HamRadio, cool, thanks for the info.
[16:22] <deSouza> Do you know how to fix the issue? I lowered double click sensitivity and it seems to be working
[16:23] <HamRadio> No problem.......
[16:23] <HamRadio> my guess is is that you are touching the touchpad accedently, and I don't know how to fix it via software. You should just try to not touch the touchpad while typing
[16:24] <HamRadio> it's possible that the new kernel in 14.10 brought a new  touchpad driver for your hardware
[16:24] <deSouza> but why is it closing stuff
[16:24] <HamRadio> to make it act differently
[16:24] <deSouza> oh
[16:24] <HamRadio> Well my first thought is, is that it's a software bug brought on from updating from 14.04 to 14.10
[16:25] <HamRadio> but if you think that it's because of your touchpad, then your mouse is just clicking on the close button
[16:25] <daftykins> a live session would rule that out
[16:25] <HamRadio> Yeah, that's a good idea
[16:26] <HamRadio> Get your 14.04 and 14.10 iso's, run in a live session for awhile and see if you have the same problem
[16:27] <deSouza> ill do that
[16:27] <deSouza> thanks
[16:28] <HamRadio> no problem
[16:29] <pcjtv> tried out LVM (large volume management?) on my external hard-drive.  Seems OK so far
[16:30] <zCoder> Does anyone know how to update postfix mail wiht a new password?
[16:31] <stevenm> Hey... I'm guessing applications (like TeamViewer and Google Earth) that had packages labelled amd64 but actually depended on stuff like lib32asound2 and ia32-libs - mean they're actually 32-bit apps and not 64-bit - so on a multiarch ubuntu (like 14.04) is the recommend thing to do is simply install the i386 version of the package?
[16:32] <daftykins> zCoder: dpkg-reconfigure the package maybe
[16:32] <mustmodify> What does `[ -f /filename ]` do, and how can I find out more about that?
[16:33] <pcjtv> is there a synaptic package manager for Ubuntu 14.04?
[16:33] <daftykins> mustmodify: #bash
[16:33] <daftykins> pcjtv: synaptic is a program for all versions, yeah
[16:33] <pcjtv> thanks
[16:35] <k4v_> hi do you know a good ppa for the current chromium stable version for trusty?
[16:35] <bubbasaures> k4v_, PPA's are not supported here.
[16:35] <k4v_> so how do i get the current stable?
[16:37] <bubbasaures> k4v_, Not sure but I believe it is in the repos and stable.
[16:39] <k4v_> i found it: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage
[16:39] <bubbasaures> k4v_, A ppa should be your last resort to be honest, they have no support here and can cause problem
[16:39] <k4v_> i know, thanks
[16:40] <bubbasaures> k4v_, Same releases in that as the ubuntu repo, wake up dude
[16:41] <k4v_> no there not, in 14.04 i still have 37.x
[16:41] <bubbasaures> k4v_, funny 14.04 here and  the same as the ppa
[16:42] <k4v_> hmmmmm
[16:42] <daftykins> i think the package in the repo actually installs the PPA?
[16:42] <daftykins> not 100% sure, bubbasaures any sign of the above PPA in your sources?
[16:42] <daftykins> i might be remembering an old conversation wrongly
[16:42] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Nope
[16:43] <k4v_> http://packages.ubuntu.com/de/trusty/chromium-browser
[16:43] <k4v_> its on 39
[16:43] <k4v_> but why does my trusty not install it?
[16:44] <copypaste_akbar> I have question about apt: is it possible to mark package as not installed without removing its files? I've installed drivers and failed several times in the process so I ended up with unmet dependency (in the end I didn't install it via apt but with custom installer)
[16:44] <k1l> !info chromium-browser trusty
[16:44] <k1l> k4v_: apt-cache policy chromium-browser
[16:45] <k4v_> k1l: chromium-browser:
[16:45] <k4v_>   Installiert:           37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~pkg1049

[16:45] <unopaste> k4v_ you have been muted for 60 seconds as it looks like you are pasting lots of lines into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com and paste just the URL of your data here when you are unmuted
[16:45] <bubbasaures> latest and stable can be a OCD issue
[16:45] <daftykins> k4v_: 1) don't paste, 2) don't paste in another language :)
[16:45] <k1l> k4v_: put that into a pastebin please
[16:46] <copypaste_akbar> so now I'm afraid of "fixing" broken dependency by removing package in question, because it could remove files that were not installed with apt/were overriden by custom driver installer
[16:46] <nbusrone> Is it normal to have only one output audio in a time either only on speaker or headphone ? using 14.04 .Scan I set it to output at both ?
[16:46] <k4v_> http://pastebin.com/4VFx9CRF
[16:46] <k4v_> k1l: http://pastebin.com/4VFx9CRF
[16:47] <k1l> k4v_: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[16:47] <k4v_> 14.04.1 LTS
[16:47] <bubbasaures> copypaste_akbar, Details are the key here.
[16:48] <daftykins> copypaste_akbar: i say you should undo what you did and fix the package situation
[16:48] <k1l> k4v_: "sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[16:49] <k4v_> k1l: nothing new gets installed
[16:50] <k1l> k4v_: please pastebin a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"
[16:50] <copypaste_akbar> it's kinda complicated because I can't boot with OSS drivers and can't install up to date proprietary drivers without removing the ones in repos and rebooting (which means I then can not boot into linux 3.13+) also the installer installs the module only to the currently running kernel
[16:51] <k4v_> k1l: http://pastebin.com/8rLKQdUQ
[16:51] <copypaste_akbar> (I can boot with radeon drivers (OSS) to linux 3.11)
[16:51] <k1l> k4v_: is that a dekstop?
[16:51] <k1l> *desktop
[16:51] <k4v_> k1l: yes
[16:53] <copypaste_akbar> in shot: it's not trivial to redo it, just saying to apt, that it should ignore the package in question would be MUCH easier as it should just include changing some value in databese afaik
[16:53] <k1l> k4v_: ok you got wrong settings for the repos. go to systemsettings-> updates and software: then make sure on the first tab: main, universe, restricted and multiverse is checked. on the 3rd tab make sure trusty-security and trusty-updates is checked
[16:55] <k4v_> k1l: this looks plausible, thank you! =D
[16:55] <k1l> k4v_: for the future. dont change settings you dont know what they do :)
[17:00] <bubbasaures> k4v_, And try to listen to the help you get without an attitude.
[17:00] <pcjtv> running Ubuntu thru USB 2.0 from USB 3.0 external HD -- bogs down real bad sometimes
[17:00] <k4v_> k1l: hm, im not sure i disabled these boxes...
[17:00] <pcjtv> does Linux slow down on SATA drives?
[17:01] <loculinux> hola
[17:01] <k1l> pcjtv: usb 2 is very slow
[17:01] <bubbasaures> pcjtv, Externals are not very fast bad way to run ubuntu.
[17:02] <pcjtv> I guess I need a Linux tower ;-)
[17:02] <bubbasaures> pcjtv, Why not dual boot?
[17:03] <pcjtv> the Windows box has EasyBCD , and is already multi-booting 7 partitions :\
[17:03] <pcjtv> I don't want to mess with that
[17:03] <leeyaa> hello
[17:04] <leeyaa> is it possible to check ext4 fs while system is running, without attempting to fix ?
[17:04] <pcjtv> edit: 5 OS partitions
[17:05] <BluesKaj> leeyaa, check for ?
[17:06] <leeyaa> BluesKaj: corruption
[17:07] <bubbasaures> leeyaa, Bad blocks the software, what?
[17:07] <BluesKaj> leeyaa, no, you need to run a the check from other media like usb or disk
[17:08] <leeyaa> bubbasaures: it is a vm with netapp storage, should i check for bad blocks?
[17:08] <bubbasaures> leeyaa, Ah a vm, do you have a snapshot of it working or a backup?
[17:09] <leeyaa> bubbasaures: i have sql slave
[17:09] <leeyaa> identical backup, not really
[17:10] <bubbasaures> leeyaa, I'm not really familiar with this area, or that vm, I was just trying originally to get relative info.
[17:11] <Norrin> anyone running ubuntu on phone?
[17:11] <leeyaa> bubbasaures: yeah no worries
[17:11] <bubbasaures> !touch | Norrin
[17:11] <isantop> Norrin: We've got a couple of guys in the office here who do.
[17:12] <Norrin> bubbasaures, thanks!
[17:12] <bubbasaures> isantop, note the touch channel, there are no supported ubuntu releases for phones
[17:12] <Norrin> isantop, i just heard about it.  very interesting
[17:12] <Norrin> bubbasaures, not supported?
[17:13] <Norrin> you mean the convo is banned from here?
[17:13] <bubbasaures> Norrin, the touch is by canonical it is not a regular ubuntu release is all, there were earlier images of ubuntu for the phones
[17:13] <Pici> Norrin: Use the #ubuntu-touch channel to discuss it instead :)
[17:15] <Norrin> bubbasaures, so 1) ubuntu for phone and ubuntu touch are separate?  is one of them now dead?
[17:15] <bubbasaures> Norrin, I'm on the touch channel right now
[17:15] <bubbasaures> my favorite lurk
[17:19] <nbusrone> Anyone know why speaker doesn't output sound when I plugin the headphone ?
[17:20] <Slycryptic> Heya
[17:20] <isantop> nbusrone: Most systems will switch the speakers off when the headphones are connected in order to keep the audio in one place.
[17:21] <isantop> nbusrone: It's actually kind of nice, since generally if you're using headphones, you want to keep the audio private. :-)
[17:22] <dw1> how can i disable keyboard keys on lubuntu? one of mine is acting up
[17:24] <nbusrone> isantop : ok thanks :) but is there any option for me to switch to the speaker ? since it's troublesome sometimes need to unplug the headphone inorder to get the speaker to output again
[17:24] <isantop> nbusrone: Sometimes (depending on the hardware) you can manually change the output in System Settings > Sound by selecting a different output device.
[17:25] <isantop> nbusrone: Otherwise, you might need to get a USB soundcard or DAC.
[17:26] <nbusrone> isantop : I tried but it doesn't work. Changing the output system still doesn't output on speaker
[17:27] <nbusrone> isantop : even test sound doesn't work. The only way is to unplug the headphone
[17:27] <isantop> nbusrone: It's possible that you can switch the port manually using PulseAudio Volume Control
[17:29] <Charcoalcat> Hi. Can someone point me to a good resource on what happens when you upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04? Someone here had me uninstall my graphics drivers, and my computer has had tons of problems ever since then that I can't fix, so I'm considering upgrading. So I want to know stuff like, 1) is there any chance this will make me able to use Steam, mednafen, PlayOnLinux, pygame again? (openGL errors) 2) There's no way I can back up my files. Is it possible
[17:30] <Charcoalcat> something will go horribly wrong in the upgrade that will delete my files? 3) Will program settings stay put? Stuff like the 900 tabs I have open in Firefox, mednafen config, my IRC colour sceheme/layout; I want everything to stay, even basic stuff like that. 4) Will it try and keep Compiz/Unity settings like the icons on my launcher, keyboard shortcuts, and things I've turned off like the feature where dragging windows to the top of the screen
[17:30] <Charcoalcat> fullscreens them? 4) What changes are there in 14.04? --- I've never upgraded before and I've always been extremely reluctant to because the people telling me to do so always seem fine with their/my files and settings getting deleted.
[17:30] <nbusrone> isantop : tried , still doesn't work
[17:30] <i3lacky> Hey guys, Im new on Linux... is anyone of you a linux pro to explain me the mustHaves?
[17:31] <isantop> nbusrone: In the PulseAudio Volume control window, under Built-in Audio Analog Stereo, there should be a list for "Port", right?
[17:32] <harm> in the output devices tab?
[17:32] <nbusrone> isantop : all are unplugged
[17:32] <harm> I have indeed speakers and headphone there on my laptop
[17:32] <nbusrone> isantop : wait let me check again
[17:34] <nbusrone> isantop : Under output devices tab ?
[17:34] <puto> somehow, when using QtCurve as the GTK2 theme, it won't respect my font selection
[17:34] <deSouza> i have installed the nvidia drivers through this http://www.binarytides.com/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-14-04/ and when i run              lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA -A 12       i get 	Kernel driver in use: i915
[17:34] <deSouza>  
[17:34] <isantop> nbusrone: Yeah, there.
[17:34] <puto> any idea what I can do about that other than use another theme?
[17:36] <nbusrone> isantop : yep , I saw both I can select either "Analog output" and "headphone (plugged in)" but even I select analog output the speaker doesn't output any sound at all
[17:36] <bubbasaures> deSouza, ppa's are not supported here, did you try the additional drivers offered driver?
[17:37] <isantop> nbusrone: It's probably the sound card doing the switching. You would probably need to get a USB audio device to be able to switch without plugging or unplugging anything.
[17:37] <nbusrone> isantop : ok , thanks noted , i'll try again search again tomorrow .Thank you for the help :D
[17:38] <deSouza> additional drivers offered driver?
[17:38] <nbusrone> Charcoalcat : I suggest not to upgrade , rather get a clean install on a different partition and slowly migrate the file to 14.04
[17:39] <Charcoalcat> nbusrone: Hm, that's a good plan, thanks.
[17:42] <whitor> daftykins, Random lockups ... you told me to do this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9683274/
[17:42] <momomo> can someone cat me a good : cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:43] <whitor> locked up while we were conversing
[17:43] <bubbasaures> momomo, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[17:44] <momomo> bubbasaures, that is way too many options
[17:44] <nbusrone> Charcoalcat : There's no telling what could happen once you upgrade .I'd rather installation a 14.04 on different partition and copying those setting and firefox one by one , It's too risky to upgrade since setting may get reset after upgraded like theme or launcher
[17:45] <artiomjar> debootstrap cannot exclude hostname package. why?
[17:45] <bubbasaures> momomo, That will give you a sources.list the same as a release
[17:46] <theadmin> momomo: What Ubuntu version are you on? I'll gib you the default.
[17:48] <Charcoalcat> nbusrone: That makes sense! I hadn't thought about partitioning. I just found my blank CDs today, too, so it shouldn't be hard to make a 14.04 Live CD.
[17:49] <lolzer> @ Charcoalcat  why not try a bootable pendrive?
[17:50] <momomo> theadmin, i am on 14.04
[17:50] <bubbasaures> momomo, Sorry it appears that channel may be having problems, it looks different than it did.
[17:51] <bubbasaures> webpage that is
[17:51] <theadmin> momomo: http://hastebin.com/raw/uzajohiqos - here take
[17:51] <Charcoalcat> lolzer: I think my pendrive is 8GB or less.
[17:52] <isantop> Charcoalcat: 8GB should be large enough to put Ubuntu on.
[17:53] <momomo> great, thanks both!
[17:53] <nbusrone> Charcoalcat : it need a dvd for 14.04
[17:55] <momomo> theadmin, you have duplicate entries ;P
[17:55] <Charcoalcat> nbusrone: Oh, that's slightly more annoying, but I can just install it from a USB thing instead, then.
[17:55] <Charcoalcat> lolzer, isantop: Okay, I'll try that first if I can find a device for it.
[17:55] <theadmin> momomo: Where?
[17:56] <theadmin> momomo: I do not... There are deb and deb-src lines, sure, but those are different
[17:56] <zr0> if i update one driver source file, how can i rebuild the kernel such that it just rebuilds that one driver and links it in?
[17:57] <nbusrone> Charcoalcat : ok :)
[17:57] <momomo> theadmin, ah, yes.. but I get this complaint: http://hastebin.com/owujutiyag.mel
[17:58] <Charcoalcat> Thanks for those suggestions!
[17:58] <momomo> thats when I run apt-get update
[17:59] <theadmin> momomo: Right umm, check your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[17:59] <theadmin> Also you can get rid of staff in /var/lib/apt/lists/ and retry
[17:59] <theadmin> Usually helps.
[18:03] <momomo> me so happy
[18:03] <momomo> but the gp error remains
[18:03] <momomo> gpg
[18:05] <theadmin> Right, that's an issue I'm not sure how to solve
[18:05] <isantop> momomo: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
[18:06] <isantop> momomo: That should fix the issue.
[18:09] <nubbybuntu> hi everyone!
[18:11] <bubbasaures> momomo, Here try this a nice script from a regular here for just this sort of issue. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/194797
[18:11] <bubbasaures> first post
[18:11] <guest7654> Question: when I run `apt-cache --installed show weston` I get two different versions. When I look in Aptitude I only see one version. How do I handle both versions in Aptitude?
[18:11] <nubbybuntu> i explain my problem, after recover my data from casper-rw (live session) i was bored of this "initram-fs" things to do, so my question is: if i make a persistence file on an sd, can i mount my user on it and use it in the live?
[18:12] <popey> guest7654: that command syntax is incorrect?
[18:12] <popey> guest7654: E: Command line option --installed is not understood
[18:13] <bubbasaures> nubbybuntu, So what is the end goal use of this, kinda the hard way around on some context.
[18:13] <bubbasaures> in*
[18:13] <guest7654> popey: It works for me
[18:13] <popey> guest7654: on ubuntu? what version?
[18:14] <nubbybuntu> yup i know, the reason is that i keep my user on different and backedup memory
[18:14] <guest7654> popey: On Raspberry Pi :(
[18:14] <popey> guest7654: thats not ubuntu
[18:14] <theadmin> guest7654: Raspberry Pi runs Debian, not Ubuntu
[18:15] <momomo> great, thanks guys. you are fantastic. google was aweful trying to find the proper solutions!
[18:15] <guest7654> theadmin: Right, sorry
[18:15] <guest7654> theadmin: Do you think #debian will be helpful
[18:15] <momomo> which si strange because alot of people are having similar issues
[18:15] <theadmin> guest7654: Most probably, there's also #raspberrypi
[18:17] <bubbasaures> nubbybuntu, Ah, well not sure on the mount of user in this scenario.
[18:17] <nubbybuntu> i tried mount "it_bu" from the backup in "home" but it didn't work,  maybe i have to add something  like a config file
[18:18] <mekhami> i've got a file open in sublime text and it's saying i can't save it because it's in read only mode. i look in ps -aux and there's nothing working on the file, as far as i can tell, but all of a sudden i can't save any files. (I was just saving them moments ago.)
[18:18] <nubbybuntu> and maybe assing like an usergorup... you know, standard user things
[18:19] <nubbybuntu> the backup was really esay... if just do something like this would be easy... :D
[18:19] <bubbasaures> nubbybuntu, You could chroot either way, not sure that is what you want.
[18:19] <jhutchins> mekhami: Perhaps ls -l would show you the permissions on that file.
[18:20] <mekhami> -rw-rw-rr
[18:20] <mekhami> err
[18:20] <mekhami> -rw-rw-r--
[18:22] <Ameurux> hi
[18:22] <Ameurux> is Unity 8 gonna be next 15.04???
[18:22] <bubbasaures> momomo, Did you try that script and it is all fixed, just curious really?
[18:24] <xangua> Ameurux: ask that again in one year, also future ubuntu questions are in #ubuntu+1
[18:40] <bahoo> Semi-newb question: why canŌĆÖt I install Postgres 9.4? Directions here say `apt-get install postgresql-9.4` http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
[18:40] <bahoo> but it returns: E: Unable to locate package postgresql-9.4
[18:41] <Pici> bahoo: 9.4 isn't in the Ubuntu repositories.
[18:42] <Pici> bahoo: Either use 9.3, or choose to use postgres's own apt repository, by following the directions further down on that page. 9.4 was just released about 2 weeks ago.
[18:43] <Pici> bahoo: actually, I guess its in 14.10 now... just not on 14.04
[18:43] <Pici> still, its only an RC in 14.10, not the final.
[18:46] <skypce> hey guys test my linux distro a lot of hours of work i hope like you: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unidockynapse/
[18:46] <bahoo> Thank you @Pici

[18:52] <Chealsea_Jurgens> Hi everyone. New to linux. Do you guys suggest a "best" office suite in terms of compatibility with MS office documents? So word, excel, powerpoint. Not so much worried about features, but simply compatibility when sending to windows users. Between LibreOffice, KingSoft & Apache Open Office. Thanks
[18:52] <yacc> Any recommendations for a Tablet+Keyboarddock (or convertible) in the $300-$400 price range that will work with Ubuntu?
[18:52] <yacc> Basically what are you guys running Ubuntu on?
[18:54] <wonderworld> Chealsea_Jurgens: send PDF
[18:55] <Chealsea_Jurgens> huh?
[18:55] <Chealsea_Jurgens> for word and spreadsheets?
[18:55] <alfonz2> yacc, only PC
[18:55] <alfonz2> yacc, have u tried it on cellphone, smartphone?
[18:55] <flux242> yacc: I bought acer c720 chromebook a year ago for 170 euro and installed xubuntu on it. I'm happy with it
[18:56] <Surendil> Chealsea_Jurgens: libreoffice or openoffice would be the better choice
[18:56] <yacc> flux242: C720 => Using the chroot solution or a real native Ubuntu install?
[18:57] <wonderworld> Chealsea_Jurgens: if the other party does not need to edit the document PDF is the best choice
[18:57] <flux242> yacc: I have removed everything that was installed first
[18:57] <Chealsea_Jurgens> thanks surendil
[18:58] <Chealsea_Jurgens> wonderworld, they may need to make edits, never know. just trying to see which one is most compatibile should it arise
[18:58] <yacc> flux242: So it does not boot ChromeOS anymore?
[18:58] <flux242> no
[18:59] <SuperLag> Have any of you experience this kind of font issue with Chrome on Ubuntu? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/913175/crappy_fonts_chrome.png
[19:00] <flux242> chromeos is a waste why keep it?
[19:01] <Guest21590> I installed Ubuntu, but it's not bootingŌĆöit doesn't even get to GRUB. The firmware doesn't seem to recognize it.
[19:01] <SuperLag> flux242: why do you say ChromeOS is a waste?
[19:02] <trijntje> Guest21590: what do you see when you start the pc?
[19:02] <Guest21590> I've tried boot-repair, which also said it succeeded, but didn't change anything in that I still get the same error.
[19:02] <Guest21590> Black screen, white text: ' Reboot and select proper Boot device\nor Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key'
[19:03] <Guest21590> Where the \n is an actual newline
[19:03] <flux242> SuperLag: because brauser is not the only thing I need for work
[19:03] <flux242> browser
[19:04] <SuperLag> trijntje: is your name a Dutch word? If so, what does it mean?
[19:04] <Guest21590> I'm currently booted to the livedisk I used to install Ubuntu, using my phone for IRC. I don't have any other computers around.
[19:07] <sokoll> Can anyone on here help me with an SCP question?
[19:07] <yacc> flux242: ok, that looks like a nice device, although nowadays it seems to be more like Ōé¼270 :(
[19:07] <Guest21590> sokoll: back away slowly, don't blink?
[19:07] <sokoll> Guest21590: haha
[19:08] <Guest21590> :)
[19:08] <flux242> yacc: 270? damn
[19:08] <MasterPiece> How can I get @ubuntu/member ?
[19:08] <sokoll> I am trying to SCP a tar.gz file to a server, I just successfully SCP'd a file earlier with the same permissions / ownership etc to exactly the same folder on the same server
[19:09] <yacc> flux242: http://geizhals.at/eu/?cat=nb&asd=on&asuch=C720
[19:09] <sokoll> but the tar.gz file gives: scp: /home/ubuntu/data.tar.gz: Permission denied
[19:09] <yacc> But beyond ChromeBooks the list of supported devices under Ubuntu seems to be shrinking from year to year :(
[19:12] <yacc> Any other suggestions for hardware (convertible, on the cheap side, able to run Linux)
[19:12] <trijntje> sokoll: that command doesnt look right at all, why is there a colon after scp and where is the destination
[19:12] <SuperLag> yacc: why is it Canonical's responsibility to certify hardware? Don't they have enough to do already?
[19:12] <theguy312>  Can I somehow show nautilus script menu when clicking on desktop? (no selected file)
[19:13] <SuperLag> yacc: I've had good luck, in general, with ThinkPads.
[19:13] <SuperLag> yacc: I'm running on a ThinkPad W530, but it's not cheap. It's a beast of a machine.
[19:13] <yacc> SuperLag: I don't want certified hardware, I'm perfect happy with hardware that is even capable to boot Ubuntu.
[19:13] <SuperLag> yacc: **LOTS** of hardware boots Ubuntu.
[19:13] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: I had a good experience almost all systems(thinkpads, notebooks), but the ones with Nvidia Optimus cards always gave problems
[19:13] <Guest21590> trijntje: did you see my reply?
[19:14] <SuperLag> _war10ck_: my W530 has an Optimus. No issues here.
[19:14] <Midoshi27> I have the same issues with my W520
[19:14] <yacc> SuperLag: I've got an i7 beast (24GB, 17", 3x 2.5"hdd + msata and so on) too, but the experience has proven that my 17" laptop is about as portable as my old desktop.
[19:15] <Midoshi27> but I just defaulted my graphics processing to the Nvidia GPU
[19:15] <yacc> SuperLag: just disconnecting all the stuff that is connected with it on my home office desk is a bother, it's basically non-mobile, ...
[19:15] <SuperLag> yacc: <shrug> my W530 isn't exactly light, but I do fine with carrying it around.
[19:15] <SuperLag> yacc: it is my only machine
[19:16] <SuperLag> Anyone see my question about fonts in Chrome? :/
[19:16] <trijntje> Guest21590: I'd check the cd/usb for errors, and then try reinstalling
[19:16] <alfonz2> SuperLag, what is your question?
[19:16] <yacc> SuperLag: it's my only machine too, but my Acer V3-772G turned out to be really non-portable (it basically was moved twice in the last year, both times when I had to travel to team meetings).
[19:17] <SuperLag> Have any of you experience this kind of font issue with Chrome on Ubuntu? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/913175/crappy_fonts_chrome.png
[19:17] <SuperLag> alfonz2: ^^
[19:17] <Guest21590> trijntje: already tried reinstalling once; no dice. I'll fsck the USB, but I doubt that's it. /It/ boots fine, anywaym
[19:17] <trijntje> Guest21590: not fsck, if you boot the usb and hold shift, you can check ubuntu itself for errors
[19:17] <yacc> _war10ck_: the Optimus stuff seems to work fine for me on 14.04 OTOH, I'm not exactly a heavy gamer, beyond support 3x1920x1080 displays I have not much requirements for the GPU.
[19:18] <jhutchins> Guest21590: No, it's not a problem with the image.  Is this an amd64 install with EFI?
[19:18] <jhutchins> Guest21590: What's happeing is the BIOS is not finding GRUB in the MBR of the default boot device.
[19:18] <Guest21590> jhutchins: No MBR here. It's GPT.
[19:19] <Guest21590> ŌĆ”I think it's GPT.
[19:19] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: Are you also programming in CUDA?
[19:19] <alfonz2> SuperLag, yes, the same behaviour on Firefox with wordpress templates on some machines, I was surprised what was wrong with it, no clue
[19:19] <sokoll> trijntje: the command isn't a command, it's an error
[19:19] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: I mean using the CUDA toolkit for cL
[19:20] <sokoll> trijntje: I figured it out, it did actually SCP the file, but it ended up on the sever owned by root and group by root, it's a misleading error message
[19:20] <alfonz2> SuperLag, maybe some additive fonts for program? I mean locally in the folder
[19:20] <SuperLag> _war10ck_: no, but I do heavy virtualization and needed a portable machine with lots of RAM.
[19:20] <SCHAAP137> hello
[19:21] <alfonz2> SCHAAP137, hello
[19:21] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: That's the problem, are you using Bumblebee to handle the switching of the card
[19:21] <SCHAAP137> I'm wondering, can I restart some random service like SSH, from /etc/rc.local ?
[19:21] <Guest21590> trijntje: booted to the USB again and did the check-for-defects thing. Came up clean.
[19:21] <SuperLag> alfonz2: I've got ttf-mscorefonts-installer package installed. I also copied some Windows fonts into /usr/share/fonts/<dir>[B
[19:21] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: If you are using, the CUDA module doesn't load - resulting in a blockage
[19:21] <SuperLag> _war10ck_: you're saying that's at the heart of my font issue?
[19:21] <jhutchins> Guest21590: MPT != MBR
[19:21] <SCHAAP137> i have a config in which SSH needs a second "start", after OpenVPN is loaded
[19:22] <jhutchins> Guest21590: GPT anyway - Master Boot Record, not Partition Table.
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> so i'm trying to call ssh restart in /etc/init.d, from /etc/rc.local
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> at the end of the boot sequence
[19:22] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: No, I am not talking about the font issue, talking about the Optimus card problems
[19:22] <SuperLag> _war10ck_: no, that's not the issue here... I went into the BIOS/EFI options, and set video to be the Optimus only. I do not dynamically switch.
[19:22] <Guest21590> jhutchins: ohh, okay.
[19:22] <SCHAAP137> but it doesn't produce the desired effect
[19:22] <alfonz2> _war10ck_, does that mean he might use internal GPU in i5?
[19:22] <SuperLag> _war10ck_: I have no Optimus issues. ;)
[19:22] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: Why not just start it initially in rc.local?
[19:23] <yacc> http://geizhals.at/eu/acer-chromebook-13-cb5-311-t6r7-weiss-nx-mpreg-008-a1155948.html <= that one looks nice, but sadly it's ARM based, so I guess no native Ubuntu for sure on it.
[19:23] <alfonz2> _war10ck_, I mean excluding nvidia
[19:23] <_war10ck_> SuperLag: hmm, I use CUDA as well as game casually - I have problems when I am switching
[19:23] <SCHAAP137> my line in /etc/rc.local is now: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[19:23] <ircnode0> how I can count pattern occurences in terminal. I googled and tried e.g. echo "aaa" | grep -o 'aa' | wc -l , but it prints 1 (should print 2)
[19:23] <SCHAAP137> but it seems it's not executed at the _end_ of the boot sequence
[19:23] <SCHAAP137> but somewhere before OpenVPN
[19:23] <SCHAAP137> which makes the config fail
[19:24] <alfonz2> SuperLag, I think the easiest way to me is to pin the cable from nvidia to motherboard GPU included in core i family processors
[19:24] <alfonz2> SuperLag, dont forget to swith off nvidia in UEFI
[19:25] <Guest21590> jhutchins: I'm almost sure the system is 64-bit. I just bought it new yesterday.
[19:25] <jhutchins> Guest21590: Sounds likely that it's EFI then.
[19:25] <Guest21590> jhutchins: aaaand I think it's EFI. The installer should've figured that out, right?
[19:25] <SCHAAP137> jhutchins, what line would I need to put in /etc/rc.local, to "re-trigger" the SSH service startup?
[19:25] <SuperLag> alfonz2: why would I do that? I have my video set to Nvidia *ONLY*, and that eliminates all the Nvidia issues.
[19:25] <jhutchins> !efi
[19:25] <debbio> This syntax seems to be not described in either mount or losetup man pages 'mount -o loop,offset=0x000f8200'  , the '=' is not there and offset is required in binary or decimal , not hexadecimal. THis advice is fromhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1643334. Is it a good advice?
[19:25] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: What are you using that's not working?
[19:26] <alfonz2> SuperLag, just an idea based on _war10ck_ s CUDA idea
[19:26] <SCHAAP137> jhutchins: my SSH configuration only wants to accept connections from the tun0 interface
[19:26] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: What are you using that's not working?
[19:26] <SCHAAP137> jhutchins: but SSH starts before OpenVPN
[19:26] <user6958476326> ubuntu is based on debian?
[19:26] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: What command in rc.local?
[19:27] <SCHAAP137> jhutchins: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[19:27] <jhutchins> user6958476326: Derived from Debian.
[19:27] <Gunther_> hi there, i have a strange problem. i installed the newest nvidia driver using ppm and the additional driver tool. when i press ctrl+alt+F1 or any other TTY my schreen flashes bright white. also when i shutdown this hapens. any idea's of what i should try? im ot of idea's.
[19:27] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: Which release?
[19:27] <user6958476326> because i want to ask how to add an input language on debian
[19:27] <SCHAAP137> jhutchins: 14.04 server, all packages updated
[19:28] <Guest21590> jhutchins: the USB booted in EFI mode, according to that article. I have no other OSes, so it shouldn't matter whether it installs in EFI mode or not.
[19:28] <_war10ck_> alfonz2: I have given up tinkering with CUDA as of now, will resume if at all I am going back to working with it
[19:28] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: Try "service ssh restart"
[19:28] <SCHAAP137> cool, will test, thank you jhutchins
[19:28] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces.
[19:28] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | Guest21590
[19:29] <SuperLag> alfonz2: I never said I had any Nvidia issues. I'm having *font* issues.
[19:29] <_war10ck_> alfonz2: I had read that disabling the Intel Card in BIOS might help me, but I am more inclined to using both the units
[19:29] <debbio> This syntax seems to be not described in either mount or losetup man pages 'mount -o loop,offset=0x000f8200'  , the '=' is not there and offset is required in binary or decimal , not hexadecimal.

[19:29] <davidfetter_fbn> hello. i'm on trusty, trying to create a couple of new services. i've made /etc/ configuration directories for each, a new file in /etc/default for each, but no joy when i say service foo [any command]
[19:30]  * _war10ck_ goes back to #c++
[19:30] <laravelnewbie> Hello guys
[19:30] <davidfetter_fbn> is there some other set of files i need to add or change?
[19:30] <laravelnewbie> can somebody help me with a ubuntu prob
[19:30] <jhutchins> _war10ck_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/hybrid_graphics#The_New_Dynamic_Switching_Model
[19:31] <bubbasaures> laravelnewbie, Describe and we will see.
[19:31] <alfonz2> _war10ck_, SuperLag ok, I am also interested in the issue, see you later then, thanks for ideas
[19:31] <jhutchins> davidfetter_fbn: The standard SysV init system starts services based on symlinks to scripts in /etc/init.d/ - by default, these are in /etc/rc2.d/
[19:33] <davidfetter_fbn> jhutchins, OK
[19:33] <davidfetter_fbn> jhutchins, with the move away from SysV, I wasn't sure what the Right ThingŌäó to do was
[19:34] <Gunther_> Anyone got a idea what can couse flashing screens in TTY1 graphical desktop works fine
[19:34] <SCHAAP137> the change of command in /etc/rc.local works, thanks again jhutchins
[19:35] <SCHAAP137> any idea why the other didn't work? because rc.local is an init script itself?
[19:35] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: Cool!
[19:35] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: It could be that ssh has transitioned from sysV to systemd.
[19:36] <jhutchins> SCHAAP137: The service command is being used to smooth the transition as it works with both.
[19:36] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/5cdq6
[19:36] <SCHAAP137> ahh, wow, didn't think of that
[19:36] <davidfetter_fbn> jhutchins, speaking of which, should i be doing this the systemd way?
[19:36] <davidfetter_fbn> (whatever that is :P)
[19:36] <jhutchins> davidfetter_fbn: I don't know what the systemd method would be, but the init methods are supposed to be compatible.
[19:36] <jhutchins> davidfetter_fbn: Probably.  Whatever that is.
[19:36] <davidfetter_fbn> jhutchins, OK, will stick with something i at least vaguely remember for now
[19:37] <davidfetter_fbn> that being SysV
[19:37] <jhutchins> davidfetter_fbn: Probably worth researching systemd if you do this kind of stuff.
[19:37] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Great. Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr".
[19:37] <davidfetter_fbn> jhutchins, yeah, right now, expediency is key. i guess i can put some XXXs and a "technical debt" bug against it
[19:38] <Jordan_U> davidfetter_fbn: Ubuntu doesn't quite use systemd as its init system yet.
[19:38] <jhutchins> Jordan_U: Still upstart?
[19:38] <Jordan_U> jhutchins: Yup.
[19:39] <bubbasaures> there gonna slip it in like a last day of congress additional orders
[19:40] <Jordan_U> davidfetter_fbn: No, most times you see people using losetup with --offset the problem is better and more easily solved with "sudo kpartx -a /path/to/disk.img" (which will setup a loopback device for the whole "disk", as well as creating partition devices in /dev/mapper/).
[19:40] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/38bkj
[19:42] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Well, that all looks correct.
[19:43] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Are you really booted via netboot currently?
[19:43] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: no; it's booted to the liveusb I used to install Ubuntu.
[19:46] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Indeed, sorry that was just me misreading.
[19:46]  * Guest21590 nods.
[19:48] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: I'm wondering if your hard drive is just taking longer to spin up than your boot firmware is expecting. Did you have a different OS successfully booting from this drive previously?
[19:48] <davidfetter_fbn> Jordan_U, thanks for the info :)
[19:48] <Jordan_U> davidfetter_fbn: You're welcome :)
[19:49] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: yeah. It shipped with Windows 8, which I used only long enough to make an Ubuntu liveusb.
[19:50] <lucidguy> Confused, if I get ent passwd I see all the user accounts in my environment, which is ldap based.  Yet when I id one of these accounts I get invalid user? Can't chown with that account also... hmmm.??
[19:51] <theguy312> How to add a submenu to nautilus? Like scripts, but also visible without selected item
[19:52] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Please pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ && find /mnt/".
[19:53] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/ce8n9
[20:02] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Try this: sudo mkdir /mnt/EFI/BOOT/ && sudo cp /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi /mnt/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
[20:04] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: No errors. Should I try booting to the HDD now?
[20:09] <deSouza> i installed a driver and it fukd my irc
[20:09] <deSouza> last message doesnt show
[20:09] <deSouza> sometimes
[20:10] <deSouza> (my ircd)
[20:10] <deSouza> it was a ppa
[20:11] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Yes.
[20:11] <petepiano1960> Evening all.  Quick question. Installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my wife's new Mac Book Air last Summer (she asked me to!), and everything was good except for the webcam. (Webcam in new MBAs is now PCI not USB so old methods of installing won't work).  Is there any chance at all of a driver coming out for this ?
[20:12] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: No dice; same error.
[20:12] <petepiano1960> (Should also say that MBA is with the insurance company at the moment because she spilt wine on it!)
[20:12] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Intesesting. Can you be at the grub shell from the bootable USB and on IRC at the same time?
[20:12] <Jordan_U> petepiano1960: What is the exact model?
[20:13] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: I'm using my phone for IRC, so yes :)
[20:13] <Guest21590> Got the GRUB shell.
[20:13] <MikeRL> Man did I do something stupid that I should fix. I think I messed up my keyboard settings. Was minor, but is there anyway to reset the settings under SYstem Settings > Keyboard?
[20:13] <MikeRL> Specifically repeat keys.
[20:13] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: OK, please boot from the USB drive and press "c" at the grub menu to get to the grub shell, then run "ls -l" and tell me if it seems to list your internal drive and its filesystems.
[20:14] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: error: Secure Boot forbids loading module fromŌĆö
[20:14] <Guest21590> :|
[20:15] <MikeRL> This is what happens when you rush to shovel snow, and try to finish things up on a computer.
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Well that's annoying. Try just "ls", it will list the devices, just without any information about them.
[20:15] <Guest21590> Hang on, lemme just turn that off.
[20:15] <tonyt> trying to do a dual boot but when i boot from the image off a usb stick, ubuntu isnt seeing windows 7 installed on the hard drive. can anyone tell me what i need to do to fix this?
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Well, I'm actually curious if you don't mind.
[20:15] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: `ls` didn't work either, same error.
[20:15] <Jordan_U> tonyt: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[20:16] <tonyt> ok not in ubuntu right now. i had to boot back into windows to get on irc
[20:17] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: search --set=root --file /grub/grub.cfg #should produce no output
[20:17] <MikeRL> I'm on 14.10 if that helps, but of course help those here already first.
[20:18] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: yep, no output
[20:19] <MikeRL> I'll be more specific first. System Settings > Keyboard > Typing Tab, and the delay and speed sliding selector under Repeat Keys.
[20:19] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: echo "$root" # will probably print (hd1,gpt1), put might be hd0
[20:19] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: hd1,gpt2
[20:20] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Great. Now try "configfile /grub/grub.cfg", which will hopefully load your installed system's grub menu.
[20:20] <MikeRL> I also noticed a bigger problem in Firefox, but that's another issue. Spell check seems to disable itself by default.
[20:20] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: purple screen, aaaaandŌĆ”
[20:20] <Guest21590> Passphrase prompt, woooot!
[20:20] <MikeRL> I can enable it. About:config shows it's on, but it likes to reset itself.
[20:21] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: :), but we still have to figure out how to get this to work without all of the hastle, and preferably in a not to ugly way :)
[20:21] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: definitely.
[20:23] <MikeRL> Hmm. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/kbdrate.8.html
[20:24] <MikeRL> Let me check. May have answered my own question. As for Firefox, I have some ideas myself. I'll see if I can figure out how to reproduce my issue.
[20:25] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: I don't know what the current problem is. Disabling secure boot might get things working, and if it does that might point us toward the root cause of the problem.
[20:25] <MikeRL> I'll be back myself quickly. Rebooting to check the keyboard issue.
[20:26] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr --verbose".
[20:27] <samfisher> how do I chmod just the directories?
[20:28] <Jordan_U> samfisher: What is your end goal?
[20:30] <kaste> samfisher: chmod o-r dir for example. Just don't add -R
[20:32] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/9j5q7
[20:33] <acz32> can anyone explain this adobe-flashplugin update i am seeign in ubuntu? i thought adobe doesn't update flash for linux anymore?
[20:34] <Jordan_U> samfisher: find /path/to/somewhere/ -type d -exec echo chmod +r '{}' ';' #Notice that I have an echo in there, this way you can do a quick sanity check of the command before actually running chmod, which you should do since figuring out what permissions need to be restored if you mess up can be hard.
[20:35] <Jordan_U> acz32: The still provide security updates for the old pre-pepper flash until it goes EOL.
[20:35] <BluesKaj> acz32, it's likely for firefox
[20:35] <samfisher> Jordan_U: thank you, that's what I needed
[20:36] <Jordan_U> samfisher: You're welcome.
[20:37] <kdi> hello ppl, i have update problems for several weeks now, on a fresh kubuntu 14.10 installation. the <packages udev systemd dbus libpam-systemd:amd64 virtualbox virtualbox-qt virtualbox-dkms cgmanager dbus-x11 nfs-kernel-server xserver-xorg-core> return error code 1
[20:38] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/9j5q7
[20:39] <kdi> i think the problem roots in udev, when tryping to update this, the first warning i get is the following: "insserv: warning: script 'lprng' missing LSB tags and overrides"
[20:40] <kdi> can anyone tell me what the lprng script is and how i might be able to fix this?
[20:42] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Try disabling secure boot, see what happens.
[20:43] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: disabling secure boot doesn't really change anything. I get the same error as in the beginning from trying to boot to the HDD.
[20:47] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: You've already been a big help, though. Being able to boot to the HDD at all is a massive improvement. Thank you. :)
[20:47] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: You're welcome :)
[20:47] <daftykins> !cookie | Jordan_U
[20:47] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: What happens if you boot to the grub shell from the USB drive, then simply run "exit"? This should exit grub, causing the boot fimware to try the next boot entry.
[20:49] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: I get the main menu from the USB's GRUB.
[20:51] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: That's interesting. How are you trying to boot from the internal drive? How does that differ from when you try to boot from the external drive?
[20:52] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: most of the time, I've just unplugged the external disk if I want to try booting from the internal one. If it's plugged in, the system boots from it (presumably after trying and failing to boot from the internal one.)
[20:52] <leeyaa> how to bring eth0:0 up when ifup says ifup: interface eth0:0 already configured
[20:52] <leeyaa> it isnt up
[20:53] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Actually, I may have found the problem. It looks like the partition you're using for /boot/efi/ doesn't have the proper GPT GUID for an EFI System Partition.
[20:53] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: tapping|holding F12 immediately after power-on gives me a boot menu. If I select something from this menu, the system seems to try booting from just that device.
[20:54] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[20:56] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/3w5tg
[20:58] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on
[20:59] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: Done.
[20:59] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: "sudo parted -l" again please.
[21:00] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: looks the same, only partition 1 on sda has the `boot, esp` flags (and not `msftdata`)
[21:01] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Great. Now try rebooting, I think it will work :)
[21:02] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: nopeŌĆ”same error. >.<
[21:02] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Well, that's frustrating.
[21:03] <Guest21590> :(
[21:05] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: what were you saying about the partition's GUID?
[21:05] <Bashing-om> Jordan_U: Guest21590 Question, what is up that sda3 does not show a 'file system' type ?
[21:06] <Guest21590> Bashing-om: mine? Maybe 'cos it's an LVM?
[21:06] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition
[21:07] <Jordan_U> Bashing-om: It's a LUKS volume, which parted probably simply doesn't know about.
[21:09] <Bashing-om> Jordan_U: :) . thanks, good to know .
[21:13] <arseny09> hi all
[21:14] <jrthump> hello
[21:14] <opt1ckz> Hello
[21:14] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: so does the partition have to have the UID given in that article?
[21:14] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/sdsx7
[21:21] <miasma> probably a stupid question, but does ubuntu somehow configure the initramfs wrt mobo drivers when doing basic installation? i want to install ubuntu on a core i7 ivy bridge / h77 machine and use the system on core i3 sandy bridge machine
[21:21] <miasma> both use intel hd graphics
[21:22] <miasma> or maybe it just runs happily when the disks move from one machine to another
[21:22] <bttf> question ... is imagemagick the standard image processing cmd-line tool or is there a better one out there ?
[21:22] <daftykins> miasma: should transfer fine
[21:23] <theadmin> bttf: I know no better ones.
[21:23] <miasma> daftykins: cool, let's hope so
[21:23] <bttf> ok thx theadmin
[21:23] <daftykins> miasma: as long as it's the only disk in there so it gets GRUB etc, of course :)
[21:23] <miasma> daftykins: yea sure. i just worried about the initramfs/kernel part
[21:23] <miasma> otherwise it's easy to set up
[21:27] <XCVB> hello
[21:29] <zerowaitstate> miasma: a different north bridge shouldn't make a difference. The kernel has support for both. Sometimes being monolithic has value.
[21:29] <JonnyDamnnox> hey
[21:30] <zerowaitstate> miasma: the "drivers" are kernel modules typically for I/O, HW RAID, or graphics.
[21:30] <miasma> zerowaitstate: in some early days some installers probed for hardware and added some module loading lists hardware specific at boot time
[21:30] <miasma> in modprobe.conf or something
[21:31] <miasma> i just thought if there's something similar still
[21:31] <miasma> e.g. if you install mdadm, it rebuilds the initramfs
[21:31] <zerowaitstate> miasma: yeah, it does rebuild initramfs
[21:31] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: "sudo apt-get install gdisk" then please "sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda".
[21:31] <zerowaitstate> miasma: however, the modules are loaded based on PCI discovery AFAIK
[21:31] <miasma> k
[21:32] <miasma> zerowaitstate: yea i've compiled kernels. just wasn't sure how ubuntu does it
[21:32] <zerowaitstate> miasma: no need to recompile the kernel unless you are doing something really weird
[21:32] <miasma> the hardware is like 99% identical. same x86-64 cpu, intel hd audio, intel hd graphics, realtek network
[21:32] <zerowaitstate> miasma: yeah, I wouldn't worry.
[21:33] <zerowaitstate> miasma: only thing I would watch out for is the root partition GUID
[21:33] <JonnyDamnnox> I get a horrible error when I want to use apt-get update : blablabla..... GPG Error ...repos.codelite.org trusty InRelease: The following signature could not be checken because of the publish key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 6856E1DB1A.... Duplicate sources.list entry http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home..blabla Packages (/var/lib/apt/blablabla_home:_klaussfreire:_debian_xUbuntu%5f13.10_Packages WTF IS WRONG?
[21:33] <zerowaitstate> zerowaitstate: ubuntu uses the unique ID of the partition to determine which mount point is root
[21:33] <miasma> zerowaitstate: how could it change if it's the same disk
[21:34] <zerowaitstate> miasma: if it's the same disk you're good
[21:34] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: https://pastee.org/pgk2p
[21:34] <zerowaitstate> miasma: but if you move the filesystem, you would need to specify the root partition on initial boot then update fstab
[21:34] <miasma> zerowaitstate: yea sure
[21:34] <zerowaitstate> miasma: on ubuntu, the default fstab uses the GUID rather than enumeration to determine which mount point is root, etc.
[21:35] <miasma> zerowaitstate: yea, that's not a problem
[21:35] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: That looks correct.
[21:35] <JonnyDamnnox> IT'S OK I GOT IT MYSELF :(
[21:35] <marshal0505>  /wi JonnyDamnnox
[21:36] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Can you get to a UEFI shell?
[21:36] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: not sure how.
[21:39] <seismo> hi there :) did anyone have to do with CUDA before?
[21:39] <JonnyDamnnox> GRRR
[21:40] <seismo> hi seizo :D
[21:40] <g0th_> hi
[21:40] <g0th_> hi
[21:40] <g0th_> after a reboot from windows I suddenly no longer hear any sound
[21:40] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Ok, well let's get things setup so that you can at least more conveniently boot your installed system from your USB drive.
[21:40] <g0th_> I am on ubuntu 14.10
[21:40] <g0th_> my sound card is connected to the monitor (hdmi)
[21:41] <g0th_> pavucontrol shows what it showed before the reboot on windows
[21:41] <g0th_> any ideas?
[21:41] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: Okay.
[21:41] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: I know this is going to sound dumb, but did you check volume in sound settings?
[21:43] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: also, under Output tab, under "Play sound through", is the HDMI output selected?
[21:44] <g0th_> yes the volume is ok
[21:44] <g0th_> not muted
[21:44] <g0th_> what do you mean by play sound through?
[21:44] <zerowaitstate> you're in Ubuntu, right?
[21:44] <g0th_> yes, 14.10
[21:44] <g0th_> HDMI / Display Port (plugged in)
[21:44] <g0th_> that's what it says
[21:45] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: the test sound does not play?
[21:45] <head|tail> Which web browsers get official security support?
[21:45] <g0th_> and I see the bar moving (which doesn't mean _that_ much but at least it's not a player issue)
[21:45] <bubbasaures> head|tail, who's the official?
[21:45] <eric_> hi everyone, can anyone give me help with a little mouse query?
[21:46] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: the test sound does not play
[21:46] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: k, it's not application specific
[21:47] <g0th_> it could be a bios issue?
[21:47] <g0th_> somehow related to the windows boot?
[21:47] <bubbasaures> eric_, Not without a description here.
[21:47] <g0th_> sound works fine on windows
[21:47] <g0th_> so the card is fine
[21:47] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: sudo aplay -l
[21:48] <eric_> hi bubbasaures: was trying not to be rude, i was waiting for a reply
[21:48] <g0th_> this lists many devices
[21:48] <seismo> how can i tell a GPU to use a different CUDA version? i have cuda libcuda-5.5-1 installed but when i try ./deviceQuery in the CUDA Samples it says "CUDA Driver Version / Runtime Version  6.0 / 6.0"
[21:48] <g0th_> 4 hdmi and my builtin stuff
[21:48] <seismo> are there config files for the graphiccard devices?
[21:48] <g0th_> this seems to correspond 1-1 to pavucontrols
[21:48] <bubbasaures> eric_, I know, just is we have tons of these types of inquiries, just passing the info needed.
[21:49] <eric_> If i boot my system LM17.1 cinnamon. log in, then leave the system alone for a minute or 2, my mouse gets shut off. wireless microsoft mouse
[21:49] <bubbasaures> eric_, What ubuntu release is this?
[21:49] <eric_> linux mint 17.1 cinnamon
[21:50] <bubbasaures> eric_, Ah hold on
[21:50] <bubbasaures> !mint
[21:50] <bubbasaures> eric_, YOu can click that link at get to a mint channel. ;)
[21:50] <eric_> ah right, apologies everyone.
[21:51] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Open the /boot/grub/grub.cfg and add the following just below "set menu_color_highlight=black/light-gray": http://paste.ubuntu.com/9684456/
[21:52] <Drlanator> hello
[21:53] <Drlanator> hello
[21:53] <linuxuz3r> hi
[21:53] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: what does /proc/asound/cards show?
[21:55] <antonio__> hi
[21:55] <Drlanator> how do i uninstall ubuntu? i've been dual boting ubuntu with windows 7 for a while to test it out but it just isn't for me. how can i uninstall it ?
[21:56] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: http://pastebin.com/5r6jf58M
[21:56] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: I don't have a /boot/grub/grub.cfg o.o
[21:56] <linuxuz3r> delete the ubuntu partition
[21:56] <linuxuz3r> Drlanator:
[21:56] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, delete the partitions is how, is grub the boot loader now?
[21:56] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: On the USB drive.
[21:56] <linuxuz3r> then use mbrfix
[21:56] <linuxuz3r> on windows
[21:56] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: all the information you can get about my sound setup
[21:56] <Drlanator> yeah grub is the boot loader
[21:56] <linuxuz3r> you need to fix your mbr
[21:57] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, I would reinstate the windows loader than delete ubuntu.
[21:57] <linuxuz3r> if you use mbr
[21:57] <linuxuz3r> if you use regular bios you need to fix mbr
[21:57] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: ah, okay.
[21:57] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: are you playing via headphones?
[21:58] <g0th_> no
[21:58] <g0th_> It worked before
[21:58] <g0th_> I didn't change anything
[21:58] <Drlanator> do you know anything about windows? if so, how would i do that?
[21:58] <g0th_> now it doesn't anymore
[21:58] <g0th_> all I did was reboot into windows, played some game, reboot again
[21:58] <Jordan_U> Drlanator: Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based machine?
[21:58] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, Are you in ubuntu now?
[21:58] <g0th_> or shutdown
[21:59] <Drlanator> no i'm on my other linus laptop
[21:59] <Drlanator> linux
[21:59] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, Jordan_U's question is the key one here.
[22:00] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: okay, try "sudo alsa force-reload"
[22:00] <Guest21590> Jordan_U: and once I hit that new menu item, I can unplug the USB stick, right?
[22:00] <Drlanator> i dont know, how would i find out?
[22:01] <linuxuz3r> Drlanator: yes?
[22:01] <jrthump> is there a way to invoke a script with network manager after it ups a nic? like post up (or what it is called) in /etc/network/interfaces when not using network manager?
[22:01] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: no effect, maybe I have to shutdown all applications before?
[22:01] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, Easiest I know is from the ubuntu terminal on that computer.
[22:02] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Correct.
[22:02] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: It's possible, but my understanding is that's a vulcan neck pinch on alsa.
[22:02] <g0th_> how do I get my sound back?
[22:02] <Drlanator> ok lemme boot up the pc and i'll try to do this
[22:02] <g0th_> I think it might be related to kernel drivers
[22:03] <g0th_> which were somehow effected by a windows reboot
[22:03] <Jordan_U> Drlanator: Another important question: Do you have all of your important files that are stored within Ubuntu backed up?
[22:03] <g0th_> bios stuff?
[22:03] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, Do you have a recovery or install disc for the windows install?
[22:04] <super> hola
[22:04] <Drlanator> i dont have any important files on ubuntu i was just trying it out
[22:05] <Drlanator> the windows came on my pc
[22:05] <Drlanator> so no disk
[22:05] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, You will need to make a recovery disc from the windows to do this.
[22:05] <bubbasaures> tiny disc like 125MB
[22:06] <Drlanator> if all i did was delete the ubuntu partition, windows would still work, right?
[22:06] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, It would not boot so no
[22:06] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: well?
[22:06] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: are you using built-in Intel Audio?
[22:06] <g0th_> no
[22:06] <g0th_> I selected HDMI
[22:06] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: go into BIOS and disable built-in Intel Audio
[22:07] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, We are getting into you questioning the process, that will make this so much harder.
[22:07] <Drlanator> ok instead of going through a bunch of troble i'll just keep it on there and deal with selecting windows evvery time. thanks for trying.
[22:07] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: is that a wild guess?
[22:07] <g0th_> hmm
[22:07] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: I am spit-balling at this point
[22:07] <g0th_> I'll try
[22:07] <g0th_> oh
[22:07] <g0th_> ok then maybe I won'
[22:08] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, Cool, all it is is make a disc, know the uefi or bios info and about 3 min work.
[22:08] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: your hardware is being detected by the OS.
[22:08] <Jordan_U> Drlanator: bubbasaures: A Windows recovery disk is *not* required, this is fairly easy to do from within Ubuntu only.
[22:08] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: everything is fine, except that I don't hear any sound
[22:08] <bubbasaures> Jordan_U, lilo?
[22:08] <Jordan_U> bubbasaures: I tend to use install-mbr instead, but the same end result, yes.
[22:09] <g0th_> got it!!!
[22:09] <g0th_> yes!
[22:09] <zerowaitstate> what did you do?
[22:09] <g0th_> zerowaitstate: I turned off the monitor and turned it on again :)
[22:09] <zerowaitstate> bah!
[22:09] <g0th_> "did you try turning it on and off?"
[22:09] <bubbasaures> Jordan_U, Cool, I just use that in a pinch, recovery discs like a live linux is about your best tool beyond the cli.
[22:09] <Drlanator> meh i wont deal with that now. mabye sometime later. thanks for all the informtion!
[22:09] <Jordan_U> Drlanator: Once you're booted into Ubuntu, please run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output (copy and paste it to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com then post the link to your paste here).
[22:09] <zerowaitstate> HDMI and power saving don't play well together in some cases
[22:10] <bubbasaures> Drlanator, YOu might stick with Jordan_U they can get you through easily. ;)
[22:10] <Drlanator> ok i'll try
[22:10] <bubbasaures> woot woot
[22:11] <zerowaitstate> g0th_: just curious, do you see anything in syslog or dmesg since you reset your monitor?
[22:11] <Guest4905> If I already have a version of utorrentd installed and working, and I go to download a newer version and the only thing it provides is a binary file is it safe to assume I could just overwrite the existing binary without issues?
[22:11] <Drlanator> later though. i'm not really up for messing around with pc today.
[22:12] <Drlanator> bye, i'll proboly be back on the weekend.
[22:12] <Guest4905> applying the same permissions of course
[22:12] <bubbasaures> ltr
[22:14] <zubnola> Could someone please assist me?  I tried installing AMD proprietary driver.  The next time I logged in unity appears messed up, no system bar, no dock etc.  I was able to install gnome 3, log into that and uninstall the amd drivers and reinstall unity, but unity is still messed up.  I just see the desktop when I log in
[22:19] <pentest> hello people
[22:28] <Bashing-om> zubnola: I give it a whirl .. Doe these file still exist : -> ls -al /usr/share/ati/ , ls -al /etc/X11/xorg.conf  . Then we look and see what is .
[22:28] <Bashing-om> doe/do*
[22:28] <leeyaa> hello
[22:29] <leeyaa> is it possible to configure a network interface at /etc/network/interfaces and not bring it up on boot ?
[22:30] <petepiano1960> Jordan_U: MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014)
[22:31] <rww> leeyaa: yes, just don't include "auto" or "allow-hotplug" lines
[22:38] <leeyaa> rww: what about using manual
[22:38] <leeyaa> seems to be doing the same thing
[22:38] <leeyaa> btw how to get rid of d?????????  ? ?     ?             ?            ? lost+found
[22:38] <leeyaa> tried with fsck
[22:38] <rww> "manual" just means interfaces doesn't do any configuration by default.
[22:39] <LinuxGold> PURE CLI! :D
[22:39] <rww> if you want a configured interface that is only brought up when you ask it to be, that probably is not what you want
[22:39] <leeyaa> rww: what will it happen if i leave it manual?
[22:39] <leeyaa> because it doesnt seem to get up on reboot
[22:39] <rww> interfaces doesn't do any configuration by default
[22:40] <rww> so you don't get any configuration for that interface. so it doesn't work unless you're doing something odd.
[22:40] <leeyaa> rww: so this mean it wont get started on boot then
[22:40] <leeyaa> isnt it the same ?
[22:40] <rww> (like writing /etc/network/* scripts)
[22:40] <rww> well, it won't get started at all ever
[22:40] <leeyaa> it does
[22:40] <leeyaa> ifup eth0:1 starts it
[22:40] <rww> with what configuration?
[22:41] <leeyaa> this http://paste.ubuntu.com/9684698/
[22:41] <FiReSTaRT> hey guys, i am running xubuntu, hit something on the keyboard and now my view is zoomed in.. how do i reverse that
[22:41] <rww> leeyaa: line 17 doesn't do anything, it's not valid syntax
[22:41] <rww> lines 18 through 20 are valid config that's used when you do the ifup command
[22:41] <leeyaa> ah i guess thats why
[22:42] <FiReSTaRT> nm, alt-scroll wheel fixed it :)
[22:42] <leeyaa> so how to achieve the same thing, with valid syntax ?
[22:42] <leeyaa> remove line 17 ?
[22:42] <rww> yes
[22:42] <leeyaa> i understand
[22:42] <Jordan_U> petepiano1960: Looks like it's being worked on https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/wiki , but see the status. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1276811 might be worth following as well.
[22:42] <leeyaa> what about my other problem ;p
[22:42] <leeyaa> how to heck to fix that fs
[22:42] <leeyaa> tried with forcing fsck from /etc/default/rcS
[22:43] <k1l> oot a livesystem and run the fsck
[22:43] <k1l> *boot
[22:43] <leeyaa> cant i force it to run fsck ?
[22:43] <leeyaa> dont have console access to that -.-
[22:44] <Jordan_U> !fsck | leeyaa
[22:44] <k1l> not on mounted partitions
[22:44] <leeyaa> well i can unmount all except boot
[22:45] <leeyaa> erm root
[22:45] <leeyaa> lol
[22:46] <petepiano1960> Jordan_U: Ta.  Does't look promising does it :-(
[22:46] <petepiano1960> Doesn't
[22:47] <leeyaa> right i rebooted it with forced fsck
[22:47] <leeyaa> while it is checking, does it run on runlevel 1 ?
[22:48] <leeyaa> seems i have ping to the shared ip, but cant ssh. do you have network connectivity in runlevel 1 ?
[22:48] <Mexandrew> Good afternoon, everyone. I am having some issues with Ubuntu 12.04, recently updated. This computer is an LTSP server that used to have 2 Ethernet interfaces. eth0 being the integrated Gigabit Ethernet, and eth1 being a PCI 10/100 card. eth0 was connected to a network hub where all the clients are connected, while eth1 was connected to the main network for internet access and management through RDP. The issue is that recently, if you plugged both eth
[22:48] <Mexandrew> ernet cables at the same time, you'd lose internet access and the thin clients would not boot.
[22:49] <Mexandrew> Now, eth1 wasn't properly detecting when you plugged in the cable after the HD drives were replaced, so it was removed, and a USB WIFI dongle was added. However, if I plug a cable into eth0, I still lose internet access from the wifi.
[22:52] <solsTiCe> hi. A weird thing happened. My right screen (hdmi ouput) turn black 5 or 6 times in a row in 3 or 4 seconds. like a flicker. but it just turn black. The main laptop screen remained ok. this never happended before. I use oibaf ppa for beta intel driver. I already had complete freeze of Xorg. but here it is only one screen turning black. or turning of just a moment. it's ok now.
[22:53] <solsTiCe> I was jsut changing my wifi settings to WEP (to crack my own wifi just to try it). So it gave me the feling of beeing spied on just a few second. /me turning paranoid ?
[22:55] <k1l> well, ask the beta intel driver guys if that is a known issue
[22:55] <kaste> hey, I am looking for llpp and can't find it. I found one rather unofficial repo
[22:56] <kaste> So first, is there a semiofficial repo where I can find it and second, Metaquestion, is there a search engines for repos, like gentoo's gpo.zugaina.org?
[22:58] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com kaste
[22:58] <bazhang> !find llpp
[22:59] <kaste> bazhang: but those are only official packages like with packages.debian.org right?
[23:00] <k1l> for PPAs search at launchpad.net
[23:01] <kaste> ok, thanks that looks more like it
[23:08] <CajunTechie> Hey everyone, a friend of mine is using ufw to configure his firewall. He added specific deny rules and then restarted the service. However, the ports he specifically blocked were still accessible. He had to go and disable ufw, flushed iptables, then restarted ufw. Is this a known problem or just a fluke?
[23:10] <jim__> sdfgsdfgsdfg
[23:10] <jim__> ubuntu is kewl
[23:10] <jim__> ubuntu is kewl
[23:12] <cipher__> Can I replace Gnome (or whatever it is now) with the xubuntu GUI?
[23:13] <Jordan_U> cipher__: Yes. You can install xubuntu-desktop then choose XFCE as your login session at the login screen.
[23:13] <cipher__> Jordan_U, can I safely remove unity?
[23:13] <Jordan_U> cipher__: Yes.
[23:13] <cipher__> Jordan_U, thank you.
[23:13] <Jordan_U> cipher__: You're welcome.
[23:14] <aewd> S.a
[23:26] <Jordan_U> Guest4905: Please re-run boot info script and file a bug report about this, attaching the RESULTS.txt.
[23:26] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: Please re-run boot info script and file a bug report about this, attaching the RESULTS.txt.
[23:27] <Jordan_U> Guest21590: "ubuntu-bug grub" to file the bug report, ideally from your installed Ubuntu system.
[23:34] <Rocketeer> So under unity tweak tool you can set panel transparency
[23:34] <Rocketeer> And you can set it so that it's no longer transparent when a window is maximised
[23:34] <Rocketeer> There's a bug though that if you minimize it and restore it the panel stays transparent
[23:35] <Rocketeer> Any ideas?
[23:41] <freeroute> hi, anyone here still on 12.04?
[23:41] <bekks> Why? :)
[23:42] <freeroute> I think I found a bug and would love to see if other people can reproduce it
[23:42] <freeroute> Download chromium-browser and then go to https://img.bi/#/eUTB0Mg!s3SDD9auM7TLxOvmb2ohgpV0vocXVRIdw2GmM8Dv , right click on the image and choose "Save image as.." and save the image.
[23:43] <mutual> ^seems legit.
[23:43] <mutual> also how did i just find out about Numix
[23:43] <mutual> I think I heard them talk about it once on LAS but i never looked into it
[23:44] <freeroute> mutual: it's a picture, you can check it out for yourself
[23:45] <freeroute> I also have a youtube video where this behavior occurs, but it's a bit explicit, should I post it?
[23:45] <budgie^smore> Hey I am having trouble with lsattr on tmpfs "lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on /var/run/helper"
[23:46] <bekks> freeroute: And whats the actual bug at that point?
[23:46] <freeroute> bekks: chromium seems to just crash
[23:46] <bekks> freeroute: Does it crash or does is just seem to do so? :)
[23:46] <dahartigan> is it specific to that image?
[23:47] <gregory62> hi i am trying to install open office using the sudo dpkg -i line in terminal but i am not having any success. can anybody assist me on the necessary steps
[23:47] <freeroute> dahartigan: it also happens on some youtube videos
[23:47] <k1l> did you try a clean profile? freeroute
[23:47] <dahartigan> gregory62, what is the error message?
[23:47] <freeroute> k1l: already tried
[23:47] <k1l> freeroute: start chromium from a terminal and see the errormessage
[23:47] <freeroute> also without any extensions + plugins
[23:48] <freeroute> [8574:8604:0107/003737:FATAL:url_request.cc(709)] Trying to send secure referrer for insecure load
[23:48] <gregory62> well i'm trying to install a couple (open office, king soft) to see which one i prefer. 1. Do i need to download the .deb file? 2. Do i need to extract that file?
[23:48] <freeroute> bekks: entire chromium goes poof
[23:48] <bekks> freeroute: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=331941
[23:48] <gregory62> dahrtigan: it does't recognize the package for one or tow
[23:49] <freeroute> bekks: wow, so the bug is there already for a year now?
[23:49] <bekks> gregory62: So whats your actual command and whats the actual output? Can you please pastebin both and provide the URL?
[23:49] <freeroute> also, why is 12.04 using a devel version of Chromium?
[23:50] <bekks> freeroute: Is it?
[23:51] <k1l> !info chromium-browser precise
[23:51] <freeroute> 37.0.2062.120-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~pkg917 maintainer = Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
[23:53] <freeroute> also it happens on this youtube video too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INbOnugwTEk&list=UUM2A5YkiH9VZRmc9dV06h3w
[23:53] <freeroute> basically around 40% of videos is affected.
[23:54] <bekks> freeroute: And the bug is already reported to the chromium community.
[23:54] <samthewildone> !swf
[23:54] <samthewildone> !sfw
[23:54] <samthewildone> !flashvideo
[23:54] <bekks> samthewildone: Do you have a specific question? :)
[23:54] <samthewildone> how do I play .swf files
[23:54] <samthewildone> bekks, yes
[23:55] <freeroute> samthewildone: did you try VLC player?
[23:55] <k1l> !flash | samthewildone
[23:55] <samthewildone> freeroute, nope
[23:55] <samthewildone> freeroute, thought the default would do all the work
[23:56] <Rocketeer> Anybody know if there's some program that changes settings when an external monitor gets plugged in
[23:56] <Rocketeer> For example I want my menus in the panel when I just have a laptop screen but that's terrible for a large monitor
[23:57] <samthewildone> freeroute, "[swf @ 0x7f8cf8024d40] Compressed SWF format not supported"
[23:57] <freeroute> samthewildone: hmm, interesting. Try in a browser (chromium and firefox)
[23:58] <Mathis> hey
[23:58] <Mathis> in vlc 2.1.4 for Ubuntu, is the --repeat parameter broken?
[23:58] <samthewildone> freeroute, thanks
[23:59] <samthewildone> freeroute, works now
