[00:08] is there an easy way to format a usb and make a bootable live usb inside of ubuntu? [00:11] dtzitz you need Unetbootin from software center [00:12] Pencil2: could i just use the 'make starup disk' thing i just found [00:13] oh, i need the ISO [00:13] use the startup disk creator [00:13] but yes, you need the iso [00:13] going to see if I can find the ISO on my windows partition [00:15] Wszystko tu jest 3 wymiarowe [00:15] Cardil: OMG ME TOO [00:24] Hi all. Can you help me with some graphics settings? [00:24] evgenius123: just ask [00:24] BlueProtoman: yeah sort of, close to calling it a night [00:24] How to change texture filtering from anisotropic to nearest (openGL mesa, 14.04 LTS) [00:25] glxinfo just show it, can't change [00:25] any good web cams for ubuntu [00:26] droid, Many that work fine, not really a direct support issue is all. [00:26] is c920 compatable [00:26] logitech c920 [00:26] whatabout texfilterchanging? [00:28] If you can't help me, what channel can do this? [00:29] local russian ubuntu-ru sleep now, 3:29 AM [00:29] texture filtering isn't relevant to a desktop [00:29] evgenius123: is this in a game? [00:29] nvidia/amd? [00:30] nvidia geforce [00:30] 610m [00:30] try nvidia x server settings [00:30] i use nuveau [00:30] what are you trying to achieve? [00:31] pixeled texture on HL1 like software-rendering [00:32] not soapy and slimy like now [00:32] yeah, you're going to need to install the nvidia proprietary drivers. [00:32] also, 610m sounds like you have an nvidia optimus setup, so you might have some fun there [00:32] nvidia freeze-while-touchpad-using bug [00:33] your hardware suffers from a bug when using the nvidia driver? you're out of luck then [00:33] if i use touchpad, picture on display freeze rzndomly [00:33] *randomly [00:34] ctrl+alt+f1 - ctrl+alt+f7 fix problem while another freezing [00:35] i cant disable texfiltering in nuveau? [00:35] i sincerely doubt half life 1 is using anisotropic filtering [00:35] with nouveau [00:36] its just use some bad filtering, i dont know which, but exactly not nearest [00:37] my english is so russian, sorry [00:37] the HL1 engine has a lot of gl_ commands you can mess with to adjust mipmapping [00:37] hard to tell what you're seeing though [00:38] don't work, i don't know reasons [00:38] so you've tried some? [00:38] #ubuntu-steam exists also [00:38] yep, thanks) [00:41] ubuntu-steam sleep too [00:42] it's a bad time in general [00:42] in MSK 03:42 now... in UTC 23:42? [00:43] in USA near 20:00, where all at this time? [00:44] daftykins, where located opengl config file? [00:44] that glxinfo showed [00:45] no idea [00:45] bad [00:46] 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] im on laptop now [00:47] hi, some way to enable the screen keyboard in the installion step in ubuntu= [00:47] ? [00:48] No references to aliasing in the nouveau driver manual. use nvidia driver [00:48] evgenius123: how long does it take to wake up from suspend to ram? [00:48] from hypernation? [00:48] or from sleep mode? [00:50] from normal sleep mode === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm === fe is now known as Guest16726 [00:51] from sleep mode it takes 2-3 seconds AND hardware slowpokeing near 5-7 secs [00:51] tcpdump: i just tried mine PM: resume of devices complete after 5492.802 msecs === eeee is now known as EriC^^ [00:52] EriC^^: uh, 5.5 seconds is quite a while.. [00:52] i have an ext hdd attached an an iphone though, intel core i7 [00:52] laptop Asus k53sd [00:52] I'm thinking of moving away from macos but I quite like the instant wake from sleep.. [00:53] macs aren't designed for ubuntu, so that it even resumes from sleep should be impressive :) [00:53] stay at macos, is POSIX OS too IMHO [00:53] yeah i'll try without the ext and and iphone lets see if it matters [00:53] daftykins: haha, yes, I wanted to see if a 'normal' laptop resumes quickly or also takes a few seconds [00:53] I know one guy who installed Windows8 on MacBook Pro [00:53] WHY!& [00:53] ? [00:54] evgenius123: I still run macos 10.8, I dislike all the new 'features' and all the 'call home' advertising built in [00:54] too much time on their hands ;) [00:54] tcpdump: it felt instantaneous this time [00:54] let me check dmesg [00:54] PM: resume of devices complete after 1582.676 msecs [00:54] eeee: do you get the delay in dmesg? [00:55] 1.5 seconds is excellent [00:55] what brand/model do you have? [00:55] intel core i7 [00:55] wowowow my eng dictionary too little for understanding so many text :-) [00:55] hp pavilion g6 [00:55] great, thanks for that [00:58] Hi ! When using glade witch a VteTerminal Widget, i got a Gtk::Builder error saying "Invalid object type `VteTerminal'". [00:59] There is something to do ? Google search has not anything about. Only Python docs about. I am using C++. === eeee is now known as EriC^^ [01:01] There are any channel specialized in "programming for Ubuntu" ? [01:02] /msg alis list *ubuntu*dev* [01:02] daftykins: Okay. Thanks for your help today and yesterday. [01:02] Guest16726: ^^ [01:02] BlueProtoman: how far did you get? [01:02] 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] Is there a way to tar (compress) a folder, that excludes large files (e.g. anything larger than 50 MB)? [01:02] *daftykins [01:03] the folder may have nested folders in it [01:03] where xorg.conf located? [01:03] BlueProtoman: i don't know the first thing about encryption i'm afraid [01:03] evgenius123: there isn't one anymore, /etc/X11/ [01:03] daftykins: That's okay. Still appreciate your help. [01:03] no problemo :) [01:04] there was 3 xorgconfs [01:04] BlueProtoman: i didn't see a reply in the end, did you get something to connect a second disk externally? [01:04] 4 [01:04] xorg.conf.%randomdate% * 3 + xorg.conf.failsafe [01:04] daftykins: Not yet, but I haven't tried, I wanted to see if I could retrieve my data first [01:04] ah right [01:05] 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] BlueProtoman: cool, good luck o/ [01:06] 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] 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] What's my next step here? [01:08] Crell: CLI utils to confirm a dig response with the same DNS server for your host [01:08] Well the working device is my Android phone on WiFi; I don't think it has dig on it. [01:08] The non-working is a Kubuntu laptop. [01:09] well check what DNS your phone is grabbing and query that from the desktop [01:09] *laptop [01:09] Running dig on the laptop, interestingly, says that it can resolve the domain in question to the correct IP. [01:09] It's not coming up in my browser, though. Interesting... [01:09] does KDE use resolvconf? [01:10] I do not know. [01:10] 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] Damnit! Found the issue. [01:12] do tell? [01:13] 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] ah, same host hardcoded? [01:13] Yep. [01:13] I had forgotten it was there. [01:13] doh! ah well, good spot :) [01:13] Hello, I want to create a backup of my Ubuntu Trusty install. What backup tools should I look into? [01:13] !backup [01:13] I realized it when testing with ping. [01:13] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [01:14] I hate it when I accidentally set myself away... damnit, how do I undo that? [01:14] /back or /away without reason [01:14] Thanks. [01:14] or alt+a (depends on client) [01:15] 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] 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] so if you tell ubuntu to install security updates only, does it ignore kernel updates until a full update? [01:18] 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] 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] PreSSion: Can you not just run Ubuntu from the live CD and launch setup from there? [01:23] PreSSion, good start for surface pro 3 , https://github.com/rubiojr/surface3-ubuntu-trusty [01:23] you should be able to use the onscreen keyboard from within [01:26] thanks, but what do i must download over here? https://github.com/rubiojr/surface3-kernel [01:26] because there are a lot of stuff [01:26] sorry, i am just a waiter! [01:27] i did change a kernel one day [01:27] i know how to do it [01:32] that surfacepro needs a lot of patching with any new kernel, as far as i understand that docs, closed ms hardware [01:39] how do I tell the kernel command line setting to "resume" from a swap partion on a Logical volume? [01:42] 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? === Guest83 is now known as Martinz [01:43] 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] 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] senso [01:45] ops [01:50] Is there a freeze schedule for the universe repo, or does it run on the same scheudle as main ubuntu repositories? [01:53] 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] I've setup an apache conf file to use them, using the default-ssl.conf as a template. [01:54] After restarting apache, though, it's not accessible in my browser. "Can't establish connection." Apache's error log has no errors. [01:55] And I just realized the issue. [01:55] I really need to stop doing this. Thanks for the rubber ducking! [01:56] Which now brings me to a security question. [01:56] 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] Er, between that server and a laptop, sorry. [01:57] 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] Am I right to be concerned, and what's the proper solution if so? [01:58] [02:55] 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] linux* [01:58] no they won't [01:59] Most of the time, I just end blocked because of that, does anybody mind if I ask here ? [02:01] 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] as far as Iknow, anyway [02:01] that's counterproductiv [02:01] e [02:01] I could be wrong about the parts of the system you are asking about [02:01] whatever the case, go ahead [02:05] 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] what might cause my drive mount name to suddenly change / how do i fix it [02:06] *ubuntu 14.04 desktop edition [02:07] Hello [02:08] hellos === Guest69793 is now known as karstensrage [02:09] nm i fixed it [02:09] andlabs: it's on the same schedule as main [02:09] ok, thanks [02:10] michaelni_: UUID ? [02:10] also [02:10] is there a version of ppapurge that doesn't require aptitude? === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [02:10] (unrelated) [02:12] dbarros : Não entendi a pergunta. Você quer desabilitar o swap em uma partição ? [02:13] !pt | Guest16726 [02:13] Guest16726: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [02:13] 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? === esde_ is now known as esde [02:14] Anusien: what's your ubuntu question? [02:14] Anusien: amd64 == x64 [02:15] xangua: What do I do to get ubuntu to boot on machine B with the hdisk out of machine A [02:16] 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] Anusien: 64bit is 64bit [02:16] for the most part amd64 and intel x64 are compatible [02:16] Hello guys, fast question, what do you think about this certs http://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification? should i proceed with the exam? [02:16] any incompatibilities are not exposed to user space and binaries should still run fine [02:16] !ot | poetazus [02:16] poetazus: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:16] getting your hard disk from computer A to computer B depends on what computer B is [02:18] 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] that could be for a lot of reasons [02:19] is machine B recognizing the HDD at all?? [02:19] are you able to select it from a BIOS boot menu? [02:19] Last time I attempted it, machine B got halfway through the boot process and just hung [02:19] was machine A's boot device something else? [02:20] 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] Sorry. dbarros : I did not understood your question. Do you want stop the swap on a partition ? If yes, use swapoff [02:21] And I've pulled this HDD out in an enclosure and looked at it, the data are there [02:21] 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] Guest16726: dbarros isn't here? :S [02:23] Anusien: it might be some machine configuration (not necessarily CPU) [02:23] can you boot into a recovery mode [02:25] andlabs: Oh ! Too late... [02:25] Guest16726: but yes that is the correct answer =P it's not a permanent solution though [02:26] I don't know what the other guy asked though === mahmoud is now known as Guest20095 [02:29] andlabs: Any idea what or how to diagnose? === kludge_ is now known as kludged === veebull_ is now known as veebull_away [02:37] Good night, how can I enable or disable blinking the terminal cursor ? anyone can help me, thanks [02:38] Hello,everybody [02:39] I am the first time to use ubuntu,Who can help me ? [02:39] wangxufeng: what do you need [02:39] 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] Crell: no, it's not. But keep in mind symlinks can be unsafe, maybe rather mount --bind [02:40] whois Crell [02:40] I don't know how to use use it [02:40] Crell: you can also define different docroots without symlinking them [02:41] whois Crell [02:41] wat^^ [02:41] phre4k: True. Is there a conventionally recommended way to handle that these days? [02:41] 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] 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] Crell: what are you trying to do? Just host multiple instances of a web app directly pulled from git? [02:42] Multiple web apps on the same home server, with their own domain names. [02:43] Some are apt-get-installed, others are git clones. [02:44] Crell: sry, 24h disconnect. [02:44] Fun. :-) [02:44] Multiple web apps on the same home server, with their own domain names. Some are apt-get-installed, ohters are git clones. [02:44] (That's all you missed.) === dhruvasagar_ is now known as dhruvasagar [02:55] > [02:57] 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] 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] 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] hey guys [03:07] 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] just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro as per these instructions: [03:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy [03:08] i currently have a laptop with ivybridge and everything just works [03:08] anyways, when I boot, I don't *really* see grub [03:08] I just see a black screen with a purple outline for 2 seconds, before it boots into ubuntu. [03:08] no options to boot into osx [03:09] try holding down shift when its booting up [03:09] alright [03:09] I'll brb [03:10] 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] 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] fancyfetus, are you dual bootin? [03:11] yes sir [03:11] well... that's the goal [03:13] fancyfetus_ : Have you checked if osx is still there ? [03:13] it... better be.... [03:13] lmao [03:13] let me have a look :P [03:14] fancyfetus_ : open a terminal and check your partitions with : fdisk -l [03:14] ubuntu can't mount mac partitions, right? [03:15] what's the best way to get yr front mic' working with 14.04 ? [03:15] Yeah It's there. I can see it in nautilus. I just can't mount it. [03:15] fancyfetus_: Don know ! But "sudo fdisk -l" will show if it still there or not [03:16] Yeah it's certainly still there [03:16] ojjjk [03:16] oiiii [03:16] How can I add someone to the sudoer's file? === kosch is now known as Guest98122 [03:16] fancyfetus_ : Good. Maybe some grub confusion. [03:16] how can i start nautilus in ubuntu gnome? invoking nautilus from terminal is without any effect or error msg?! [03:17] BlueProtoman, with visudo [03:17] fancyfetus_ : Do you know how to reconfigure grub ? [03:17] but you can also add them to the 'sudo' group [03:17] Guest16726, not entirely :( [03:18] is there a commant to FORCE nautilus to show its window regardless of what other instances of nautilus do? [03:18] eh........ [03:19] fancyfetus_, you looked at /etc/default/grub ? [03:20] avatara: And how may I do that? [03:20] anyone know when 10.10 will be available on DVD? [03:20] 14.10 [03:21] avatara, I've done some small grub modifications as per the instructions I posted earlier [03:21] just little things in nano [03:22] fancyfetus_ : Well. you can check if a entry exist in grub. [03:22] I had to add a mac osx entry that exits grub === alpha is now known as stalkuh [03:22] clear [03:22] fancyfetus_ : cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | grep ^menuentry [03:23] how do you fix the front mic' in UBUNTU 14.04 ? [03:23] Guest16726, done, now what? [03:24] fancyfetus_ : Did you found a entry for osx ? [03:24] no output from that. [03:24] BlueProtoman, sudo usermod -aG sudo useryouwanttoadd [03:24] avatara: Thanks! [03:25] fancyfetus_ : I am lost. Can u "cd /boot/grub" ? [03:25] Is there a file named grub.cfg ? [03:26] yes [03:26] fancyfetus_, you executed "sudo grub-mkconfig" after you modified the grub config? [03:26] the one in /etc/default [03:27] Well. if you are there, execute "cat grub.cfg | grep ^menuentry" [03:27] I executed sudo update-grub [03:27] You will see all menu entrys on the missing grub menu [03:28] ahh yes, my bad [03:28] one for Ubuntu, and one for MacOS [03:28] Ok [03:28] May be it is a timeout [03:28] 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] cfhowlett. in this one, OSX boots after grub exits [03:30] and the MacOS menuentry exits grub [03:30] I don't remember how to set timeout of grub menu === fancyfetus_ is now known as fancyfetus [03:32] I set the default entry to my MacOS entry [03:32] and it still booted into ubuntu [03:33] in the /etc/default/grub [03:34] Lets see some lines [03:34] see that GRUB_DEFAULT=0 is first entry, =1 is second [03:34] maybe you set it wrong [03:34] GRUB_TIMEOUT ? [03:35] grub timeout is 10 [03:35] 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] is GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT commented ? [03:36] I say, [03:36] #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [03:36] yes [03:37] make a file called /boot/grub/custom.cfg with the line timeout=10 [03:37] and add a comment in /etc/default/grub that says that file is created and overrides the /etc/default/grub one [03:38] Wait, no [03:38] Guest16726, Grub hidden timeout is NOT commented. It is 0 [03:38] Put # in front of the line [03:39] and update-grub [03:39] there is also a line, grub hidden timeout quiet = true [03:39] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [03:39] fancyfetus: that should be fine [03:40] fancyfetus: how is grub launching the osx efi file? [03:40] fancyfetus: can you paste your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? [03:40] did you manually add the entry there or did grub pick it up? [03:40] AWWWW YIS! [03:40] Commenting that line out, fixed it :D [03:41] Good [03:41] EriC^^, I used these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy [03:42] oh ok, seems that it uses the efi boot order to boot it [03:43] when you exit grub it goes to the next in the list and it launches the osx efi file [03:43] yes sir! [03:44] pretty cool, so is it working? [03:44] Yeah!!! [03:45] fancyfetus : I am happy it works. Just a timeout. [03:46] Anyone tried the PS2 emulator. I'm curious about it and it's sys requirements.

[03:52] I think [03:55] which ubuntu are you installing?

[04:00] !ubuntu | nexus6 [04:00] nexus6: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [04:00] no need for that. I said yes. [04:00] ok hello svetlana [04:00] hi. [04:01] 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] i need to start program when i am logged on as common user but that program needs sudo credentials [04:02] 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] so i do not now how to do it i tried chmod even to change permissions but it doesn't launch [04:02] nexus6: prefix your command with sudo. [04:03] i did that didn't work,program name is xarp [04:03] nexus6: how it didn't work? what did it do? [04:03] Yes, but that doesn't mean I know how to copy and paste from this program before I get the OS running. [04:03] i did this:sudo-to-root -X -c xarp [04:04] it is arptables control program [04:04] nexus6: try «sudo xarp». [04:04] it works when i am admin but did not when i am logged as user [04:05] nexus6: what do you mean? how do you differentiate «logged in as admin» and «logged in as user»? [04:05] i did make 2 accounts one has Admin powers other one is common user [04:06] How do I increase the virtual screen size? That's probably a decent start to getting the text version. [04:06] 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] unable under this environment too dangerous [04:07] i must be logged on as user or system will be compromised [04:07] #ubuntu-beginners [04:07] 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] nexus6: that's by design. [04:08] nexus6: unsurprisingly, the account without sudo access (the «non-admin» account, as you call it) lacks access to run programs as root. [04:08] true [04:09] but there's workaround [04:09] hi, could anyone help me out, im a complete ubuntu noob [04:09] i don't know command syntax so i am asking [04:09] nexus6: workaround to run a program as root from an account which lacks such access? why do you think that exists? [04:09] !ask | Howie_ [04:09] Howie_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:10] thank you [04:10] interesting. [04:11] Howie_: hi, welcome to the club. I am also new. what's the problem? [04:11] im trying to fix a game compatibility [04:12] and it requires some commands [04:12] https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-1562 [04:12] Howie_: this is an Android game? [04:12] yes [04:12] Howie_: so nothing to do with Ubuntu then? [04:13] Howie_: the URL you linked contains no commands. what are you trying to do? [04:13] copy and paste [04:13] Howie_: like I said, it's not clear /what/ you're doing from that page. [04:13] mount /system [04:13] and [04:14] overwrite libc.so [04:14] Howie_: if this is Android, it does not belong here. This is an Ubuntu support channel only [04:14] mmk np [04:14] thank you [04:15] Howie_: oh, and btw -- /system is on the PHONE, not on an ubuntu computer, is that correct? [04:21] hey [04:22] how can you get a front mic' working properly in UBUNTU 14.04 ? [04:23] hello [04:24] if you do "apt-get build-dep foo" how do I uninstall that stuff ? [04:24] Howie_, somsip: for reference, that's potentially a #cyanogenmod question. [04:25] svetlana: yes, that's why I told him it didn't belong here [04:25] 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] somsip: yeah; I preferred to spend time to find the correct channel. [04:25] somsip: it may be useful for whoever reads this channel later. [04:26] yes, i suppose so [04:26] crazyhead42: copying is handled by virtualbox itself I think, no need for a working os inside. [04:26] Okay, so how do I do it? [04:27] Ctrl c doesn't work because I can't select text yet. [04:27] Okay, I just initiallized some "nonblocking pool". What did I just do? [04:30] I HAVE A CD AND I WANT TO INSTALL OXFORD DICTIONARY, COULD YOU HELP ME ???? [04:30] bablu, stop caps please. [04:31] crazyhead42: can't select text because there is no mouse on the screen? [04:31] bablu, you'll have to ask oxford for help ... I couldn't install the dictionary either. [04:31] good morning [04:31] ok, i have a cd and i wan to install oxford dictionary. could you help me ?? [04:32] Not once it's captured. I have a mouse outside of the virtual box though. [04:32] ctrl caused some "random: nonblocking pool is initialized" thing to come up, I think, but that may have just been time. [04:33] 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] Okay, I'll ask there. Can you message me what "gpm" is though? [04:37] !info gpm | crazyhead42 [04:37] crazyhead42: gpm (source: gpm): General Purpose Mouse interface.

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] its entirety? [05:47] might be worth querying alis for a potential httpd / nginx channel [05:48] or even trying #ubuntu-server [05:50] Rebooted an Ubuntu server and now it won't send signals to display? How to troubleshoot? [05:51] bkfixer: remove quiet and splash from the default GRUB entry? [05:52] daftykins: can't edit anything as I got no video [05:52] bkfixer: holding shift doesn't display grub? [05:52] this is before boot though [05:53] are you using some kind of remote tech? [05:53] thanks daftykins - will give ubuntu-server a try next. [05:54] No, it's right next to me. I was fixing some KVM stuff and now it's acting weird [05:55] I didn't make much change to the server though. Just changed a xml of a guest [05:55] you still see POST right? [05:56] No, I've got nothing [05:56] The machine doesn't make any noises except fans [05:57] I pushed in a dvd drive that was loose before restarting it. Don't think that is it. [05:57] doesn't really sound like an ubuntu issue if you're not even POSTing [05:57] well, it's the closest channel I can get :-) [05:58] #hardware ? [05:58] what?

[07:35] 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] **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] Apt-get is locked cause something didn't install properly [07:38] How do I kill it so I can remove it? [07:39] nautilus-dropbox didn't finish installing now I can't do anything else [07:39] pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install" [07:39] !paste [07:39] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:39] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [07:40] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [07:40] Thats it [07:40] skilz, are you already running apt-get? [07:40] !aptlock [07:40] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [07:40] Yeah like I said from the software center it didnt finish [07:40] awww yes, late night factoid remembering [07:41] Thanks [07:47] 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] I have no idea how to diagnose what is the problem... Any clues? [07:48] vvassilev: your on ubuntu server 10.04? [07:48] lotuspsychje: yes. [07:49] vvassilev: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know your issue? [07:49] After the error in isw, it says that cannot find modules.dep in /lib/modules/...-70... [07:49] lotuspsychje: I will give it a try, thanks! [07:50] 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. === ARMEN_ is now known as EREVAN [07:51] !lucid [07:51] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [07:52] daftykins: I see, I tried to boot -53 and it tells me: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init. [07:53] (/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: ... invalid ELF header) [07:53] so 100% ok on older kernels, yes? [07:54] 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] With the previous kernels (prior to 70 I guess, yesterday was all fine) and now I cannot boot older ones too... [07:55] 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] My guess is that something with the raid or a disk failed or something. Is there any way I can check? [07:56] !raid | vvassilev maybe here? [07:56] vvassilev maybe here?: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [07:58] !info testdisk | vvassilev for disk fail test [07:58] but yeah honestly, you have 3 months left so i wouldn't even bother to fix that ;) you need to upgrade! [07:58] vvassilev for disk fail test: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.14-3 (utopic), package size 314 kB, installed size 1269 kB [07:58] i'm actually typing from 10.04 server too, with the -70 kernel [07:58] daftykins: wich one is reccomended to install 12.04 or 14.04 server? [07:59] daftykins: the issue is that I have a lot of configuration on this machine and they are all missing now... [07:59] vvassilev: so boot a live session, mount a disk and back it up? you're gonna have to reinstall no matter what [07:59] vvassilev: or try booting into grub, previous kernel? [08:00] err, well 12.04 is dead in 2017 i think? then 14.04 is in 2019 [08:01] 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] 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] boot a live session and query each device with smartctl -a /dev/sdX [08:03] Anyone know a good VNC server to use on my pc and client for iPhone to connect to it? [08:04] skilz: be carefull with remote software, its danger to use [08:04] skilz: use ssh instead [08:05] It's just for my home network [08:05] I want to control my computer when I'm on the toilet lol [08:05] Or sitting outside [08:05] skilz: if your home network can connect to the net, its also a danger [08:06] skilz: try teamviewer for single use maybe [08:06] It's fine, there is no outside access to the vnc port [08:06] 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] Okie dokie [08:07] Thumpxr_: nice idea, but still if teamviewer holds vunrable holes, it could be exploited [08:07] Not in the repos [08:07] I just want a simple VNC server [08:08] skilz: forget vnc, its dangerous [08:08] Like tightvncserver or something [08:09] !vnc | skilz [08:09] skilz: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [08:09] remote desktop sharing used to be built in 0o [08:10] remote everything is a security danger :p [08:10] worst of all, the one that drives the TV [08:11] true === gluxon is now known as Guest93800 [08:20] How do you alert people to update an old wiki page? [08:20] you can update it yourself i think [08:20] !wiki [08:20] http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation. [08:20] ok that was useless [08:21] Well I would update it myself if I knew what to replace certain text with. [08:21] I just know the text is old. [08:21] Specifically this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Bitesize which refers to 11.10 in the future tense [08:23] tbh many pages have far more issues than tense going on [08:23] What I mean is that the documented is outdated [08:23] Not just an issue of grammar [08:23] yeah, i understand === zzz_Ridley is now known as Ridley5 [08:25] I booted a rescue cd and dmraid -r says: ERROR: isw: could not find disk /dev/sdb in the metadata [08:27] vvassilev: is /dev/sdb the disk you're trying to rescue? [08:28] caryhartline: yes, it is a part of my fakeRAID and I am trying to figure out what's wrong. [08:30] vvassilev: i would go for daftykins solution and install new server fresh, you will soon see if your hd is still intact [08:30] lotuspsychje: I want to get my configurations back... [08:31] vvassilev: photorec can get your data back (if hd is still alive) [08:31] vvassilev: did your hd work before kernel update? [08:32] lotuspsychje: yes it did. [08:32] vvassilev: then boot into previous kernel.. [08:32] get your configs back, or boot into live as daftykins suggested [08:32] yo [08:32] .j #linux [08:33] Hello everyone, how do we build a project/app in a different folder [08:33] ? [08:34] hi ninja_ [08:34] !details | ninja_ project of what exactly? [08:34] ninja_ project of what exactly?: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [08:35] everyone should merge to Arch [08:35] l0l [08:35] brainacid: dont do that [08:35] brainacid: ubuntu support only here [08:35] lotuspsychje.. it was a silly comment [08:35] ubuntu user for 5 years [08:36] :) [08:36] lotuspsychje: I did boot a live cd. [08:36] vvassilev: did you try the smartctl like daftykins said? [08:37] brainacid: same!! it drives me nuts with anything else [08:37] I don't have this command lotuspsychje [08:37] vvassilev: boot a live session and query each device with smartctl -a /dev/sdX [08:37] vvassilev: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" [08:38] (then same for /dev/sdb) === JoelTheSuperior is now known as JoelN === ButterflyOfFire is now known as Guest47191 === Guest47191 is now known as ButterflyOfFire_ === tom_ is now known as Guest37516 [09:07] hello [09:17] How can I upload a file to a remote server using SFTP (note, not scp) with a one-liner? [09:26] Rory: why not scp, it's basically the same thing as sftp or do you need interruptable transfers? [09:27] We don't control the endpoint [09:27] They won't give us a shell [09:29] 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] Does anybody know when the new unity icons are planned? [09:33] Rory, maybe try with a batch file -b http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_sftp.htm [09:33] 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] ah yeah -b says it's alternative to stdin [09:36] Rory: nvm, did a quick test and that sftp syntax is for getting single files, not for putting them. [09:36] quit [09:37] Rory: I think what wafflej0ck said is the best way to go, with the -b option. [09:41] This post seems to be okay. Uses < And I can just use a shell script [09:42] Hello [09:42] hi [09:43] Rory, sh
