[00:00] <tankerkiller125> daftykins, I am fully aware of that :)
[00:00] <doh_> well tankerkiller125, where does it say in the bible that all code should be foss
[00:00] <daftykins> then don't yap about it in here :)
[00:00] <thurstylark> jharm: how did you try to play it in plex? Outline the process for me.
[00:00] <daftykins> ranger81: what do you mean 'raw' ?
[00:01] <ranger81> something like this http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_converting.html
[00:01] <tankerkiller125> BTW can someone help me play my NCIS DVD's on VLC for Ubuntu... I completly forgot that I was having issues with playing them.
[00:01] <jharm> i opened plex and then dragged the file to it and it plays the sound but no picture just a big stop sign that says that i need codec
[00:02] <jharm> plus i also just tried to play with vlc and the same thing happened
[00:02] <daftykins> !dvd
[00:03] <jharm> it might just be because it is from yifi because i got another movie the other day and it worked fine
[00:03] <thurstylark> jharm: So, you installed Plex Media Center?
[00:03] <daftykins> ranger81: that's referring to virtual machine disk image formats, what are you trying to achieve here?
[00:03] <jharm> yes i did
[00:03] <tankerkiller125> Eh I don't care about the legalities of playing the DVD all I know is that I baught it so I'm going to find away to play it...
[00:04] <daftykins> tankerkiller125: yeah and the links say how to do that... ?
[00:04] <daftykins> tankerkiller125: try reading the whole thing :)
[00:05] <thurstylark> jharm: Actually, I've been wanting to install that, can you send me a link to the guide on that?
[00:05] <tankerkiller125> daftykins, I know I did, Guess I just kinda through out a non-contexted thing.

[00:08] <Kamuela> I've got a screen flickering/tearing problem I have had for ages. Video drivers seem to change nothing. How would I go about troubleshooting this?
[00:10] <daftykins> Kamuela: graphics hardware?
[00:10] <Kamuela> daftykins: Intel HD4600
[00:10] <Kamuela> It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop
[00:11] <daftykins> Kamuela: ok there's some variable you can add to a manually created xorg.conf to prevent tearing
[00:11] <daftykins> if only i could remember it
[00:12] <daftykins> Kamuela: http://askubuntu.com/questions/418398/tear-free-disabled-in-intel-graphics-tearing-in-xubuntu
[00:12] <daftykins> there
[00:12] <WyZeGuY> cecja still here?
[00:12] <Kamuela> daftykins: well there's tearing, but i believe another issue is the screen seems to appear "negative" like it shows a negative greenish version of it at low dpi. I fix it by repeatedly switching resolutions until it randomly doesn't happen
[00:12] <daftykins> mmhmm
[00:17] <Kamuela> daftykins: i will try that tear-free setting. btw, if something totally f's up, what would be the easiest way to set up a quick "default"?
[00:17] <WyZeGuY> cecja hey
[00:18] <daftykins> Kamuela: messes up with the xorg.conf ? rename it... ;)
[00:18] <cecja> WyZeGuY: hey did it work?
[00:18] <Kamuela> daftykins: ok xorg.conf.old it is :)
[00:18] <WyZeGuY> cecja i don't know what was SO different this time, but i decided to try booting one more time before i booted from the usb. it worked. :-| back on my previous OS config. so yea, still going to use the usb on one of the drives to make a backup, though.
[00:19] <magnulu> hello - using cli only, I want to make a bootable usb with persistence. containing ubuntu 14.04 / edubuntu 14.04
[00:19] <magnulu> cant find any way to do this.. any help would be greatly appreciated
[00:19] <WyZeGuY> cecja: i tried several times before, and it kept wanting to do a system repair. but not this time. fucking windows, man. lol. but hey, that's all cool with me
[00:20] <cecja> WyZeGuY: :/
[00:20] <WyZeGuY> cecja: i dunno!! i swear lol
[00:20] <Enissay> Is there any community out there that could help group buying software licences, so it's cheaper ?  I've no idea if that exists, I just tought of that while drinking my tea =D
[00:20] <daftykins> WyZeGuY: don't use that language in here please.
[00:21] <daftykins> Enissay: licenses? this is Ubuntu Linux support, it's free.
[00:21] <Enissay> daftykins, omg sorry, it was for the offtopic room
[00:21] <WyZeGuY> daftykins: k sorry
[00:23] <WyZeGuY> cecja: but yea, now that it's back up i need to get back to work. thank you sir
[00:30] <MACscr> Just installed ubuntu on an old ssd of mine and i told the installer to delete everything that was on it. Guess it didnt because it now says "ubuntu this is a freenas data disk and cannot be booted. system halted" when i try to boot it after the install. Suggestions?
[00:30] <daftykins> MACscr: consider trying a secure erase if you can
[00:30] <daftykins> might even be a manufacturer brand wiping utility
[00:31] <MACscr> does the ubuntu installer have a secure erase option?
[00:32] <daftykins> MACscr: no
[00:32] <daftykins> but opening a terminal and trying hdparm is a valid method
[00:33] <MACscr> sry, thats what i meant. As in the disk having a tool i could use
[00:33] <daftykins> well neither that, but you can install packages in a live session
[00:36] <MACscr> hmm, the cd isnt giving me a live option. Could that be a uefi issue?
[00:37] <daftykins> MACscr: should just be 'try ubuntu'
[00:37] <MACscr> i understand that. Im saying that option never happens and it goes straight to the installer
[00:37] <MACscr> it had before though. hmm
[00:37] <EriC^^> which ubuntu?
[00:37] <MACscr> 14.04LTS
[00:38] <MACscr> there is two ways to boot the dvdrom though, legacy or uefi
[00:38] <MACscr> i picked uefi
[00:38] <daftykins> is it going to be the only OS?
[00:38] <MACscr> yes
[00:38] <DanielSantAnna> I need to recover my irc password, what do i do?
[00:38] <daftykins> DanielSantAnna: go ask in #freenode
[00:38] <thurstylark> DanielSantAnna: Ask in #freenode
[00:38] <daftykins> MACscr: legacy is fine then
[00:39] <DanielSantAnna> Thanks
[00:41] <MACscr> daftykins: ok, got to the cli as root. What next?
[00:42] <daftykins> MACscr: do might as well try the easy option first, i know it's an SSD but you could 'dd' zero fill it.
[00:42] <daftykins> s/do/you/
[00:48] <Kamuela> daftykins: TearFree seems to change nothing. And I've checked the log to make sure I did successfully enable it. Also, zero issue on an external monitor. And on windows, my laptop's internal display is fine. So there's some issue with display detection
[00:49] <daftykins> Kamuela: mmm, probably wasn't relevant since your symptoms changed on the second explanation ;)
[00:50] <danny_> whoopes
[00:51] <coltim> hi - I'm having an issue with gnome/unity-control-center - whenever I try to open the "Displays" tab I get ERROR:gsd-rr-config.c:661:gsd_rr_config_load_current: assertion failed: (gsd_rr_config_match (config, config))
[00:51] <Kamuela> daftykins: if i had to say what the issue was, just on gut feeling, i would say it has a lot to do with
[00:51] <coltim> I recently updated from 14.04 to 14.10, and ctrl alt t doesn't open up a terminal window
[00:52] <daftykins> with...?
[00:52] <Kamuela> daftykins: there's some kind of DPI setting error, or color setting error, or refresh rate error*
[00:52] <daftykins> Xorg log not give any clues?
[00:55] <coltim> nothing jumps out at me
[00:55] <MACscr> wow, this secure erase crap is bs
[00:56] <EriC^^> did you adjust the settings
[00:56] <MACscr> what settings?
[00:56] <EriC^^> what program are you talking about?
[00:56] <MACscr> hdparm
[00:56] <daftykins> MACscr: what, drive locked?
[00:57] <MACscr> all i want to do is install ubuntu, no idea why it cant simply erase the drive as needed
[00:57] <EriC^^> !info securedelete | thought you meant this
[00:57] <MACscr> not that i am aware of
[00:57] <MACscr> hdparm says NOT locked
[00:57] <daftykins> MACscr: i think it's your system trying to boot the EFI install as legacy that's the problem actually. so it's not ubuntu's fault, it's you pulling the drive from another device :)
[00:58] <daftykins> maybe you could just 'dd' the first 100MB of so with zeroes too
[00:58] <EriC^^> !info secure-delete
[00:59] <EriC^^> ^^ that's pretty neat for erasing hd's
[00:59] <daftykins> EriC^^: it's an SSD :) ATA secure erase command via hdparm was my first suggestion, but it's a bit evil
[00:59] <daftykins> i'm pretty sure the boot order in MACscr's system is just wrong
[01:00] <EriC^^> oh ok
[01:00] <MACscr> i have one ssd and one dvdrom
[01:00] <MACscr> i told ubuntu to use the whole disk, so there shouldnt be anything left on it after the install
[01:00] <MACscr> so i think my assumptions are fine
[01:01] <daftykins> MACscr: yeah that's where that assumption is wrong, because if it was in some device using an MBR, it has the boot sector still probably. how else would it know about freeNAS?
[01:01] <MACscr> well obviously that should have been wiped by the installer
[01:01] <daftykins> anyway the idea is to not focus on the past but take action on what we know now to resolve the problem
[01:02] <MACscr> i didnt say whole parition, i said the whole disk
[01:02] <daftykins> no because you installed in EFI
[01:02] <daftykins> totally different game :)
[01:02] <daftykins> alright well you can argue about what should happen until the cows come home, or deal with it
[01:03] <MACscr> ok, lets deal with it. What do i do next. hparm for doing  a secure delete is not working.
[01:03] <MACscr> i get an IO error when i try to set the password
[01:03] <daftykins> i've been giving several suggestions over the past 10 minutes above
[01:03] <arun> anyone familiar with NICs bonding?
[01:04] <MACscr> arun: yes
[01:12] <coltim> does my issue make sense at all? I'm just a bit perplexed and I don't really know where to turn
[01:12] <daftykins> coltim: test the guest session / a new user
[01:14] <coltim> daftykins: just tried, same problems; this link seems to be a similar issue (http://askubuntu.com/questions/284126/unity-crashed-ctrl-alt-t-not-working-logonscreen-bland)
[01:15] <MACscr> this is so frustrating. even after zeroing out the mbr with dd and trying to install again, it thinks the disk contains a gpt partition and doesnt proceed no matter if i select yes or no
[01:15] <dm7freek> i plug in a flash drive and it doesnt mount automatically. how do i make that happen, and how do i see all the /devs on my sys?
[01:15] <MACscr> about it being a partition table or not
[01:15] <EriC^^> MACscr: did you run fixparts ?
[01:16] <MACscr> EriC^^: nope. never saw anything about needing to
[01:16] <daftykins> MACscr: that's because you installed as EFI to start with and now you've booted legacy so it's different, so you can just reinstall booting EFI again to try.
[01:16] <daftykins> dm7freek: is the drive showing up in "dmesg | tail" ?
[01:16] <EriC^^> MACscr: if you have stray gpt data it will confuse the installer
[01:16] <dm7freek> EriC^^: yes
[01:17] <MACscr> daftykins: ive tried both legacy and efi with the same result
[01:17] <dm7freek> err sorry EriC^^, that was for daftykins
[01:17] <EriC^^> dm7freek: no problem
[01:17] <daftykins> dm7freek: how about "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?
[01:17] <EriC^^> MACscr: can you type sudo parted -l and pastebin it?
[01:18] <daftykins> MACscr: i don't see how running the installer after booting in EFI mode would complain about GPT, as that's a requirement
[01:21] <daftykins> dm7freek: so?
[01:21] <dm7freek> daftykins: that output looks like the flash drive has no partitions (because it was a boot drive for ubuntu i forgot about)
[01:22] <daftykins> a partition would still show up
[01:22] <retroispresto> =3
[01:23] <dm7freek> daftykins: oh, well nothing shows up. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690604
[01:23] <bsimmons> Hmmmm, so I am having troubles with ssh. It was working but I chowned the .ssh directory. I got everything back to as it was, but it's still not working.
[01:23] <bsimmons> Any pro tips?
[01:23] <retroispresto> hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
[01:23] <dm7freek> daftykins: unfortunately im simultaneously having trouble launching gparted. when i click it spins for a sec then returns to normal and never launches. 'no protocol defined' when i launch it from the CLI
[01:24] <daftykins> dm7freek: does this drive still boot in another system?
[01:24] <dm7freek> bsimmons: getting any errors?
[01:24] <dm7freek> daftykins: not sure, but prob
[01:24] <daftykins> are you using some kind of drive bay adapter, or is it in motherboard sockets? or is it a laptop?
[01:24] <daftykins> well test it to confirm :P
[01:24] <dm7freek> daftykins: wkstn, usb flash drive
[01:25] <mbeierl> upgraded to 14.04 and now a new Windows 8 computer causes smbd crashes whenever it tries to print.  Any ideas?
[01:25] <retroispresto> :/
[01:25] <daftykins> dm7freek: that answers one of my two questions :)
[01:25] <Strav> he! Anyone around here knows what the "Errors" column in the raid-disks section of the gnome-disk utility is actually listing? (I have a 152 errors count for one of my disks and yet: mdadm --detail tells me that the array is clean, fsck says the same about my partition (on top of LVM))
[01:25] <bsimmons> dm7freek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9690612/
[01:25] <retroispresto> gonna use my phone as a hotspot now, cause the ip changes every day
[01:26] <daftykins> Strav: sounds like bad sectors on a disk, install smartmontools and pastebinit then show "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit" for both/all disks
[01:26] <Strav> (and I have no particular warnings for smart tests on the problematic disk)
[01:26] <mbeierl>  /msg NickServ help
[01:26] <daftykins> retroispresto: that's nice, but not relevant to this channel
[01:26] <dm7freek> daftykins: what do you mean boot, like does it automount or can i boot from it? cuz rebooting is quite a process, and i have a diff comp i could wipe it on.
[01:27] <dm7freek> kinda just want to fix gparted
[01:27] <Strav> daftykins: I'll do just that, thanks :)
[01:27] <retroispresto> I'm banned from #ubuntu-offtopic for I don't know what
[01:27] <dm7freek> bsimmons: did you regen your keys?
[01:27] <daftykins> retroispresto: that doesn't mean you can yap here. find another place.
[01:27] <bubbasaures> retroispresto, Ask #ubuntu-oops
[01:27] <bubbasaures> #ubuntu-ops
[01:27] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Regenerate? No, but recopied and they are right on both sides.
[01:27] <daftykins> dm7freek: effort to reboot? wow. does gparted run when you remove the drive?
[01:28] <dm7freek> bsimmons: line 31 suggests you might want to flush known_hosts as a start (cp it to a diff dir or name or both)
[01:28] <dm7freek> daftykins: no
[01:28] <dm7freek> daftykins: well its not THAT big of a deal, but it's the end of the day and im a lazy f*ck
[01:29] <dm7freek> heh
[01:29] <daftykins> dm7freek: well you could test boot in the other machine. no help for you then since it's laziness! i don't forgive that.
[01:30] <dm7freek> daftykins: ya, i'm pretty whack haha, but what are you looking for? I dont think the flash drive prob and gparted prob are related.
[01:30] <retroispresto> dm7freek: "This means that you should avoid any language which may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such language."
[01:30] <Strav> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/w9ppZa4i (the raw-read-error-rate seems pretty high for that disk)
[01:30] <daftykins> dm7freek: well i was never talking about gparted, i just think it's iffy if the drive has anything on it yet shows up with no partitions. can't confirm on another system? doesn't seem like too much work.
[01:30] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Flushed the client side known_hosts. Didn't work either.
[01:31] <dm7freek> bsimmons: hmm....
[01:31] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Looking like the same error too.
[01:31] <daftykins> Strav: yeah, no sign of the major markers though. perhaps that one can go in the 'maybe' pile :D
[01:33] <Strav> daftykins: ok thanks anyways!
[01:33] <Strav> gotta go!
[01:33] <dm7freek> daftykins: i can see if my mac finds a partition in disk util real easy, is that enough? otherwise i dont really care enough (i always thought a bootable flash drive would show up w no partitions anyway lol)
[01:33] <dm7freek> daftykins: i do appreciate your attn tho, ty
[01:33] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Even tried making my home directory writable only to me.
[01:34] <daftykins> lol guy shows me one disk of a RAID and considers it ok, wat.
[01:35] <dm7freek> bsimmons: nah... uh well i think that the remote host is denying permission based on your public RSA key. tht tells me the remote thinks you should have a diff one. have you tried ssh into a diff host or ssh from a diff host into the one in question?
[01:35] <dm7freek> one you dont use frequently preferably
[01:36] <bsimmons> dm7freek: yeah, tried from work, didn't work either.
[01:37] <dm7freek> bsimmons: oh weird! same error?
[01:38] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Yep
[01:40] <dm7freek> bsimmons: it's weird that there's no fallback to password. this is a bit out of my scope :/
[01:40] <daftykins> it's probably disabled.
[01:40] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Oh, I setup so that it's rsa auth only.
[01:41] <dm7freek> ah
[01:42] <dm7freek> bsimmons: reboot? heh im out of ideas atm
[01:42] <bsimmons> dm7freek: I see.
[01:42] <bsimmons> dm7freek: Well, let's just blast out everything then...
[01:43] <dm7freek> daftykins: fwiw, no partitions show in dsj util on OS X either, and it displays an error, so im presuming the thumb drive is just fubard
[01:44]  * dm7freek apologized to retroispresto.
[01:44] <dm7freek> *apologizes
[01:44] <dm7freek> not rly tho
[01:44] <retroispresto> it's okay dm7freek
[01:44] <daftykins> dm7freek: try dd'ing it for fun
[01:44] <dm7freek> ok
[01:51] <dm7freek> daftykins: not sure if possible, i can't find the dev associated with my usb drive
[01:52] <hikenboot> hi! can i chroot into slackware from ubuntu or would i be better off making my build system the same distro?
[01:53] <daftykins> dm7freek: what? it was in parted before
[01:54] <ZuluTango> where is the config folder for HexChat located?
[01:54]  * dm7freek slaps himself
[01:54] <Kamuela> daftykins: how would i troubleshoot this dpi/display issue?
[01:54]  * dm7freek then returns to ubunu
[01:55] <daftykins> Kamuela: beyond reading the Xorg log as hinted earlier?
[01:55] <kaste> Hey I get a message that gimp can't be installed because of some held package but I never held a package before
[01:55] <Stanley00> hikenboot: you can as long as both are 32 bit, or both are 64 bit
[01:55] <usuario> alguem fala portugues
[01:55] <daftykins> kaste: ever run a dist-upgrade?
[01:55] <daftykins> !pt
[01:55] <kaste> that install is 10 days old
[01:55] <kaste> so no
[01:55] <hikenboot> Stanley00, am i likely to run into any avoidable problems by using one set of directions over another...ie any recommends?
[01:55] <kaste> also says no packages to update
[01:55] <usuario> obrigado
[01:56] <Kamuela> daftykins: i'll check it now
[01:56] <squinty> ZuluTango:  ~/.config/hexchat
[01:57] <Kamuela> daftykins: do the first numbers signify a timestamp of some sort, e.g. the [    137.440] or no? i'm assuming this log runs on from multiple reboots and things
[01:58] <Stanley00> hikenboot: this should works, I hope :3 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/change_root#Using_chroot
[01:58] <Kamuela> daftykins: i do see this toward the end, are these hinty? http://pastebin.com/EpWtDMQK
[01:58] <ZuluTango> squinty: I'm a windows person please explain that path :)
[01:58] <dm7freek> daftykins: works fine
[01:58] <daftykins> Kamuela: nah
[01:59] <ZuluTango> what is the "~/." in the path ?
[01:59] <dm7freek> daftykins: anything else before i wipe it?
[01:59] <Kamuela> daftykins: well what's usually 55.8 kHz? that's not a vsync is it? isn't that usually something like 60 or 59.9 or something
[01:59] <pMBa> hi
[02:00] <squinty> ZuluTango:  ~/ equals your home directory.   so therefore the path is  /home/<user name>/.config/hexchat
[02:00] <dm7freek> ZuluTango: same as ~
[02:00] <daftykins> Kamuela: different value, not vsync
[02:00] <pMBa> are people avaiable to help me with a boot problem?
[02:00] <dm7freek> ZuluTango: disregard
[02:00] <daftykins> pMBa you have to ask first.
[02:00] <pMBa> ok
[02:00] <squinty> ZuluTango: to see that path in your file browser, press Alt H  (which turns on "show hidden files" and then migrate to that directory
[02:01] <pMBa> yesterday i installed ubuntu from a self-made dvd. all was fine in installation, after much  trying to figure out the Installation Type and Partitions listing screen. I managed to create a partition for the Ubuntu install, and a "Swap area" partition, and go through with the installation. All fine.
[02:02] <pMBa> Until I restarted and tried to boot from harddisk. I get the black scree with the text requesting to insert bootable media and hit any key. But that is frozen and does nothing, even if I put the original CD in.
[02:03] <pMBa> And I made a Boot-Repair USB drive, which mounts and looks fine in OSX, but does not even show up in rEFIT and doesn't actually seem usable in any way.
[02:04] <hikenboot> thanks Stanley00 , those are different than others I have, I am attempting a remaster of partmagic live cd
[02:04] <pMBa> I managed to get Boot-Repair loaded up via rEfit>Boot EFI Grub>Boot-Repair, which I proceeded through and it told me it fixed some problems. Restart and reboot from harddisk is not working, as usual. Now what do I do?
[02:04] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Not sure bootrepair is an apple dualboot best tool, you have any evidence it is? Never seen it used in that context is all.
[02:05] <Kamuela> daftykins: here is the full xorg.conf, i'm sorry i can't narrow it down any further... i'm finding it rather difficult to derive what i should be looking for http://pastebin.com/cZv4FuKa
[02:05] <Stanley00> hikenboot: welcome :3
[02:05] <pMBa> I can't access the partitions from OSD very well to reformat and reinstall, and the DVD doesn't seem to boot in any way like it did yesterday. Am I screwed? I literally don't know what I can do that will touch that partition, and don't know what the problem is.
[02:06] <pMBa> bubbasaures, not sure about best tool for the job, honestly.
[02:06] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Do you have a regular download?
[02:06] <pMBa> Lifehacker made this dualboot setup seem easy, but doesn't have any suggestion for this problem.
[02:06] <bubbasaures> no tweaked
[02:06] <bubbasaures> not*
[02:06] <pMBa> I have the latest Long Term Support build for desktop Ubuntu, yes.
[02:07] <daftykins> Kamuela: i'm not gonna have any better ideas
[02:07] <bubbasaures> pMBa, You mentioned a self made dvd what does that mean, sounds like a custom uck build from here.
[02:07] <Kamuela> daftykins: i'm just looking at things that say "not found" thinking maybe display information isn't being read for some reason??
[02:08] <pMBa> it's just a downloaded ISO, converted to IMG and written to DVD.
[02:08] <pMBa> I don't know what UCK is.
[02:08] <daftykins> Kamuela: you pasted a line saying read EDID ok, so it can't be that. you tried a live session?
[02:09] <bubbasaures> pMBa, Ah cool, just confirming, not sure what the best answer is, but we get apple users here often so if you hang you should be set.
[02:09] <Kamuela> daftykins: yes it most definitely does this during any session, and on Mint as well if that helps to know
[02:10] <pMBa> ok, I'll put out a peep every so often to see if such a user is available to help.
[02:10] <phre4k> pMBa: how did you create the boot repair disk? With dd?
[02:10] <Kamuela> daftykins: also i just changed resolutions while messing with the external display i have hooked up and my internal went back to the really bad DPI issue, is this located in a log somewhere?
[02:11] <pMBa> Any suggestions on how to format my harddrive to freespace or ext4 via osx? It doesn't seem possible in Disk Utility.
[02:11] <phre4k> daftykins: /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[02:12] <phre4k> pMBa: I didn't use OS X for a long time, but I think it doesn't support ext fs OOTB. Maybe open terminal and see what mkfs. programs are available
[02:14] <pMBa> I also find it quite suspect that whereas I used to be able to boot up the Ubuntu installation or trial from the DVD, I now can not. It simply hangs on a black screen with flashing _
[02:21] <bubbasaures> pMBa, A flashing _ makes me think the disc is not getting booted, we see this on installs and live boots.
[02:22] <bubbasaures> generally a missing graphic driver
[02:25] <PMBA> oh crap. funny, since the Ubuntu installation didn't seem to enable my trackpad either. Guess the drivers are a bit of a issue when you try to work with Linux on a Mac.
[02:26] <EriC^^> PMBA: which mac do you have?
[02:26] <bubbasaures> PMBA, Take a look at this, just a guess on a mac but the standard blinking cursor first option. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[02:27] <EriC^^> PMBA: check here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro11-1/Saucy#Touchpad
[02:29] <klaslofstedt> which is the best video/media player to easily resync subtitle? i've tried VLC but i thing it's torpe
[02:30] <PMBA> EriC, I have a 14" white Macbook, 4,1 to be specific.
[02:31] <PMBA> I'll check those links.

[02:52] <elijah__> bubbasaures_ oh well
[02:52] <elijah__> Thanks though

[02:52] <bubbasaures> elijah__, you to. ;)
[02:56] <jorge_> hola?
[02:57] <alexis_> hello everyone
[03:02] <joshua83519> hi room
[03:03] <joshua83519> can some one tell me where to find programs that are not in sofware center that u can download
[03:04] <joshua83519> just would like some ideas?
[03:05] <Zed-Ex_> What kind of software? There's tons already on the repos
[03:05] <ubuntu> hai
[03:06] <joshua83519> like themes i could try
[03:06] <Stanley00> joshua83519: why do you want that?
[03:06] <EriC^^> !themes
[03:07] <joshua83519> well just would like to be unique
[03:07] <isaac_> i like the Macbuntu themes for ubuntu 14.04
[03:07] <joshua83519> how do i tell what version i have of ubuntu
[03:08] <EriC^^> lsb_release -a
[03:08] <joshua83519> i think i have 14.10
[03:08] <EriC^^> ( type that in a terminal )
[03:08] <joshua83519> i have 14.04
[03:08] <Stanley00> joshua83519: type detail or about in dash can show you ubuntu vertion too.
[03:09] <jeffrey_f> I think I have an issue with apparmor vs mysql - Can't do a load data in mysql
[03:09] <isaac_> ver14.04 very good
[03:11] <joshua83519> how do i install a theme
[03:11] <EriC^^> i think you need unity-tweak-tool
[03:12] <isaac_> maybe you must authorize guest login for mysql
[03:12] <ki7rw> i guess this facial login program isn't ready for primetime - opencv seems to be the problem getting it to work - bummer - i suppose there's a commercial program for linux if i really want it
[03:13] <daftykins> ki7rw: people would just subvert it with pictures anyway, that's no security.
[03:13] <bubbasaures> ki7rw, Can't most be bypassed with a picture?
[03:13] <daftykins> bubbasaures: ^5!
[03:13] <bubbasaures> no 3d maaaaan
[03:15] <joshua83519> seems like alot of work to change themes
[03:15] <bubbasaures> joshua83519, Gets easier as you know how.
[03:17] <Zed-Ex_> Unity isn't really meant to have its theme changed either imo
[03:18] <bubbasaures> lotta users come by here to do so, my guess is individuality
[03:19] <daftykins> i think it's mostly the young with time on their hands.
[03:20] <Zed-Ex_> I see. Its like Gnome3 though, its just not that easy to theme
[03:21] <bubbasaures> less orange is all I mess with, ubuntu has had more than enough
[03:22] <Sukir> yeah
[03:23] <Sukir> where you from ?
[03:23] <xangua> !ot | Sukir
[03:24] <Sukir> iam from indonesia
[03:25] <Sukir> iam not speak english ? indonesian please ?
[03:26] <isaac_> I hate #ubuntu-cn ,nobody can talk 55555555555
[03:26] <bubbasaures> !id | Sukir
[03:26] <jeffrey_f> I have an issue with apparmor vs mysql - Can't do a load data in mysql
[03:26] <Sukir> oke bro thanks
[03:27] <bubbasaures> Sukir, Best of luck. ;)
[03:27] <ablest1980> hi
[03:28] <Sukir> :)
[03:31] <dataangel> If I'm at the command line and want to open ubuntu's setting's GUI what's the command?
[03:33] <sukma> oi
[03:33] <isaac_> help! how to use gambas3 make program ?
[03:33] <sukma> i don't know
[03:33] <dNng> what you kind ,sukma
[03:34] <BlueProtoman> I want to compile my own programs (i.e. with -march=native, a bunch of optimization flags, etc.), but I also want to keep them up to date a la package managers.  How can I do both?
[03:34] <sukma> oii
[03:34] <daftykins> sukma: stop that.
[03:34] <sukma> ?
[03:34] <PMBA> I managed to run the Ubuntu installation off my USB disc, twice, but still wierd non-functioning crap is happening.
[03:35] <PMBA> All this is getting me down. I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be a viable option on my Macbook.
[03:35] <sukma> why
[03:35] <daftykins> sukma: because it's spam.
[03:35] <sukma> you is cungok
[03:35] <sukma> okay
[03:36] <Stanley00> BlueProtoman: You need to get the *source* from package manager, and rebuild everytime there's new update. But let me check if there's other way.
[03:37] <Prezident> Hey guys, how can i start an program i have installed with wine from terminal?
[03:38] <isaac_> how to change my name in here?

[03:38] <somsip> isaac_: /nick {newname}
[03:38] <OerHeks> Prezident, wine /path/to/your/blablabla.exe
[03:38] <Zed-Ex_> Prezident, just run 'wine filepath'
[03:38] <Prezident> Ok

[03:39] <dataangel> Prezident: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/......../someprogram.exe
[03:39] <dataangel> oops too slow
[03:40] <PMBA> i'm quitting ubuntu. maybe osx isn't opensource, but at least it works without being a finnaggly think. I'll revisit Ubuntu in two years when my life gets boring.
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> clear
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> .....
[03:41] <Stanley00> BlueProtoman: looks like you have to do it manually, but you can use script here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb
[03:41] <DeepBlueTree> Sorry is my worry
[03:41] <Prezident> Yeah it seems work to start the program from terminal, but from fluxbox it aint working [exec] (program) {wine /path/*.exe}
[03:42] <Prezident> Any suggestion or should i ask in their own chan maybe.
[03:42] <OerHeks> Prezident, so what is the erro?

[03:48] <van> lol
[03:49] <van> Thanks!
[03:50] <EriC^^> no problem
[03:54] <doomlord_> can pixel fonts be anti-aliased (greyscale pixels) ... regular fonts dont seem to align to pixels, which blurs them out a little. (are there other tweaks to font rendering possible?)
[03:56] <doomlord_> what i see onscreen between linux & mac makes me think the mac tweaks its' font scaling to align font strokes to pixel boundaries or something
[03:57] <daftykins> sub pixel rendering i think
[04:02] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: I think it depends on the font. Some fonts work great with hinting, others look a little blurry (I agree). I've also seen differences between various programs, which is unfortunate.
[04:02] <doomlord_> i've just encountered talk of 'hinting' disable on some forum
[04:03] <doomlord_> good to have confirmed i'm not just imagining this
[04:04] <doomlord_> the font rendering is actually different between osx & linux
[04:04] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: Yes, and Windows :)
[04:06] <daftykins> it's adjustable in Windows though, where they call sub pixel rendering 'ClearType'
[04:06] <adrian_1908> I'm actually quite satisfied with the overall state of font rendering on my Xubuntu installation, it's just certain Qt based applications that don't look so well. The fault lies with Qt's font implementation on Linux and there seems to be little to no interest in fixing it (most people don't notice).
[04:06] <doomlord_> 'infinality'
[04:07] <doomlord_> have any window managers copied OSX's ability to swap desktops per monitor yet
[04:08] <adrian_1908> yes, infinality is supposed to help for some. Do you have font settings on Ubuntu? On Xubuntu I can adjust some basic settings like AA and hinting in the control panel. Of course this can also be done manually in a fontconfig file, which should have system-wide effects.
[04:09] <al_nz1> Hi All
[04:09] <al_nz1> I have a grub problem
[04:09] <al_nz1> I remove a hard disk which had a OS installed on it
[04:09] <al_nz1> but not the HDD with grub
[04:09] <al_nz1> however I now get grub rescue>
[04:09] <doomlord_> ill take a look, i do have the xubuntu desktpo stuff at the minute
[04:10] <al_nz1> I want to boot my remaining hdd which has ubuntu
[04:11] <ame> why my ubuntu drop to shell mode while booting but it is working good if i choose any image from previous linux versions?
[04:11] <Stanley00> al_nz1: you can run set root=(hdx,msdosy) and set prefix=/boot/grub/ then you free to go. But make sure your remain ubuntu partition has grub installed
[04:11] <bubbasaures> al_nz1,  Can you pastebin sudo parted -l
[04:12] <al_nz1> Stanley00: is that at the grub prompt?
[04:12] <Stanley00> al_nz1: yes, type that at grub rescue promt.
[04:12] <al_nz1> is that literal "x" or a number?
[04:12] <bubbasaures> that should get you in al_nz1
[04:13] <Stanley00> al_nz1: yes, replace X and Y with your real number
[04:14] <al_nz1> Stanley00: trying nw
[04:14] <adrian_1908> doomlord_: If could try creating a file ~/YourUserName/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf with the following content (http://pastebin.com/gvxghWQa) and play around with the settings. Might have to log out for it to take effect (in my case the gui updates while running)
[04:15] <SleepersTide> I'm running 14.10 and I've encountered a strange bug where I can reliably crash Xorg by opening the arduino IDE and rapidly moving my mouse back and forth between the Tools -> Board: and Tools -> Serial Port menus
[04:15] <SleepersTide> or maybe it's lightdm that's crashing, I dunno
[04:15] <doomlord_> i've just grabbed this 'infinality' , i'll give it a go
[04:16] <adrian_1908> yah, probably even better (finer grained control), good luck!
[04:16] <Bashing-om> al_nz1: Where 'x' is the hard drtive number sda=0, sdb=1, sdc=3 ANF for msdosy; y=1 for 1st partiotion, 2 =2nd partition and so on .. /boot must be on the partition in msdosy .
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[04:19] <function9x> guten morgen
[04:20] <al_nz1> hmm
[04:21] <al_nz1> Stanley00: still coming up with error no such device then a series of hex numbers
[04:22]  * [gnubie] waves
[04:22] <Stanley00> al_nz1: looks like it problem of grub.cfg file, can you try loading the kernel and ramdisk manually? or just edit the grub.cfg you have
[04:23] <al_nz1> errm, sorry but how would I do any of that
[04:24] <Stanley00> al_nz1: when you finish run set prefix=/boot/grub . What come next?
[04:24] <al_nz1> btw ls (hd0,1)/ seems to show my file system
[04:25] <al_nz1> after "set prefix=/boot/grub/" I rebooted
[04:26] <Stanley00> al_nz1: no, you need to load the config file or load the kernel manually right after then, without a reboot
[04:27] <al_nz1> oh ok
[04:27] <al_nz1> how?
[04:27] <EriC^^> set root='(hd0,1)'
[04:28] <Stanley00> al_nz1: to load a config file. Run configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg and try.
[04:28] <ame> stanley00:hi
[04:29] <al_nz1> Lol this is painful
[04:29] <Stanley00> al_nz1: if it won't work, try "linux /vmlinux... " , "initrd /initrd..." and "boot", replace ... with what you have all your system, (you can press tab there)
[04:29] <Stanley00> ame: yes?
[04:29] <al_nz1> I tried "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and it says configfile is unknown command
[04:30] <EriC^^> al_nz1: did you set the root first?
[04:30] <ame> my ubuntu dropping to shell mode
[04:30] <al_nz1> first command : set root=(hd0,msdos1)
[04:30] <Stanley00> al_nz1: how about config and press tab? I don't remember what excactly that command is :3
[04:31] <al_nz1> second: set prefix=/boot/grub/
[04:31] <al_nz1> thrid: configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:31] <EriC^^> al_nz1: k, try config<tab> grub<tab>
[04:31] <ame> if i choose <al_nzl>:you are saying to me?
[04:31] <EriC^^> nevermind
[04:32] <al_nz1> config<tab> isnt giving me any predictive options
[04:32] <EriC^^> al_nz1: that's odd
[04:32] <Stanley00> al_nz1: then forget about that configfile commamd, try linux and initrd command then. Here for you reference https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#grub_rescue.3E-1 :3
[04:33] <al_nz1> thanks - both those commands are unknwon
[04:33] <Stanley00> ame: is that grub rescue> promt too?
[04:33] <al_nz1> yes
[04:33] <ame> means>>
[04:33] <ame> ??
[04:34] <Stanley00> ame: al_nz1 is stuck at grub rescue prompt (aka showing *grub rescue>* on his screen). Do you stuck at that too?
[04:36] <Stanley00> al_nz1: hmm... after set root, and prefix, can you run "ls /boot/grub" and pastebin the output?
[04:37] <al_nz1> you have a few "paths" ./ ../ grub.cfg fonts/grubenv gfxblacklist.txt locale/ uncode.pf2 i386-pc/
[04:37] <al_nz1> thats all
[04:37] <ame> stanley00:no my ubuntu dropping to shell mode and showing a error..where to post the error so that you can understand easily??
[04:38] <Stanley00> !paste | ame
[04:39] <ame> Gave up waiting for root device.common problems    -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)     -Check root delay =(did the system wait long enough?)     -check root=(did the system wait for right device?)    -missing modules (cat /proc/module;ls /dev)  ALERT! /dev/mapper/LTSP--vg-root does not exist.Dropping to shell !

[04:39] <ame> stanly0:http://paste.ubuntu.com/9691152/
[04:40] <Stanley00> ame: it's another problem here. Looks like you have lvm partition but you cannot mount it on, maybe you initrd image cause the problem
[04:41] <ame> stanly0:how to resolve it.any idea??
[04:41] <al_nz1> Stanley00: any other throughts?
[04:42] <doomlord_> running this 'infinality' thing now... not sure if i'm imagining it, but it does look nicer.
[04:42] <Stanley00> al_nz1: I don't really know, configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg should worked then.
[04:42] <Stanley00> ame: Maybe you need to run a live Ubuntu, chroot into your installed ubunut (on hdd), and rebuild the initrd image.
[04:43] <ame> stanly:can u please say and share a link to how to do it??
[04:43] <al_nz1> i have confirmed the existance of /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:43] <Stanley00> ame: let me see if I can find one
[04:43] <daftykins> why doesn't ame just try an older kernel?
[04:45] <OerHeks> daftykins, ame said that boots fine
[04:45] <EriC^^> al_nz1: which is your linux installation's partition usually? /dev/sdxY ?
[04:45] <ame> older kernel are working
[04:46] <al_nz1> dev/sda I think
[04:46] <ame> daftykins:older kernels are working fine but i need to hold on shift key while booting and choose the image from previous linux version.But my doubt is why this error occurs in my server??
[04:47] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok type insmod part_msdos, then insmod ext2
[04:47] <al_nz1> EriC^^: ok done
[04:47] <EriC^^> al_nz1: type ls -l , get your linux partition's designation, hdx,msdosY , and the UUID
[04:48] <EriC^^> type set root='(hdx,msdosY)'
[04:48] <al_nz1> ls -l gives "error bad filename"
[04:48] <EriC^^> are you sure you're in grub
[04:48] <al_nz1> but its def hd0,1
[04:48] <al_nz1> I am at a prompt "grub rescue"
[04:48] <EriC^^> get to grub
[04:49] <EriC^^> grub>
[04:49] <al_nz1> if I type "grub" unknwon command
[04:50] <EriC^^> reboot the pc
[04:50] <EriC^^> hold shift
[04:50] <daftykins> ame: so boot an older one, purge the latest and reinstall to check?
[04:50] <ame> daftkins:that is the problem i am new to ubuntu i dont know how to do that
[04:51] <Stanley00> EriC^^, daftykins : I will let ame and al_nz1 to you guys, I need to go now. Thanks :3
[04:51] <daftykins> o/
[04:51] <al_nz1> EriC^^: rebooted with shift but still ends up at grub_rescue>
[04:51] <al_nz1> thanks Stanley00
[04:51] <phre4k> ame: remove the new kernel, profit
[04:52] <phre4k> ame: which kernel works and which doesn't? Could be a regression or a bug which is fixed in a later version
[04:53] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok, type insmod linux
[04:54] <ame> How to remove the kernel??
[04:55] <bubbasaures> al_nz1, Might be helpful to know of this tool. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[04:56] <al_nz1> EriC^^: insmod linux "error file not found"
[04:56] <al_nz1> perhaps a live cd me easier?
[04:56] <al_nz1> be easier?
[04:56] <EriC^^> nah, type set root='(hdx,Y)'
[04:57] <al_nz1> done
[04:57] <EriC^^> try insmod linux
[04:58] <al_nz1> done - error file not found
[04:58] <EriC^^> nah, type set root='(hdx,Y)'/boot
[04:58] <EriC^^> lol sorry,
[04:58] <EriC^^> try set root... ^^
[04:59] <al_nz1> done
[04:59] <EriC^^> try insmod linux again
[04:59] <al_nz1> i typed set root=(hd0,1)/boot
[04:59] <al_nz1> I wasint including the " ' "
[04:59] <EriC^^> it's ok
[05:00] <EriC^^> ls (hd0,1) shows /boot ?
[05:00] <al_nz1> insmod still failing
[05:00] <al_nz1> ls (hd0,1) gives "error bad filename"
[05:01] <al_nz1> sorry with "boot" on the end gives a bunch of files
[05:02] <EriC^^> al_nz1: ok, try set boot=(hd0,1)
[05:02] <EriC^^> then set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
[05:02] <EriC^^> type insmod normal , then type boot
[05:03] <al_nz1> insmod always fails
[05:03] <al_nz1> with file not found
[05:04] <EriC^^> try insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/x86<tab>/normal.mod
[05:07] <al_nz1> EriC^^: there isnt a x86 dir
[05:07] <al_nz1> there is a i386-pc dir
[05:07] <al_nz1> under boot/grub
[05:07] <EriC^^> ok use that instead
[05:08] <al_nz1> but
[05:08] <al_nz1> insmod (hd0,1)/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod - also fails
[05:08] <al_nz1> there is too much output on ls (hd0,1)/boot/grub/i386-pc/ to see if normal.mod exists
[05:10] <EriC^^> try insmod (hd0,1)/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod
[05:10] <EriC^^> al_nz1: you can type norma<tab>
[05:10] <EriC^^> to see if it's there
[05:10] <al_nz1> EriC^^: tab complete isnt working
[05:10] <al_nz1> but i try
[05:11] <al_nz1> file not found
[05:11] <al_nz1> grrrr
[05:12] <EriC^^> do you have a live usb?
[05:12] <al_nz1> EriC^^: yes. Its old ubuntu but it will do
[05:12] <EriC^^> ok
[05:14] <al_nz1> ok im in
[05:15] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo parted -l
[05:15] <al_nz1> ok
[05:15] <al_nz1> sda and sdb are hdd
[05:15] <al_nz1> sdc is flash drive
[05:16] <EriC^^> ok, paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[05:16] <al_nz1> sda is the ubuntu disk
[05:16] <al_nz1> cause I can browse it
[05:16] <EriC^^> ok, unmount it
[05:17] <EriC^^> does sda have only 1 partition?
[05:17] <al_nz1> no 3
[05:17] <al_nz1> 1 is primary ext boot
[05:17] <EriC^^> can you paste it? would makes things clearer
[05:18] <al_nz1> and fyi normal.mods exists in /boot/grub/i386-pc
[05:20] <EriC^^> ok, pastebin link?
[05:20] <al_nz1> 9691298
[05:21] <al_nz1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9691298
[05:21] <EriC^^> ok

[05:25] <al_nz1> yip
[05:25] <EriC^^> ok, you're not following directions and it's really cold and my laziness grows exponentially with coldness
[05:26] <al_nz1> I will unmount first
[05:26] <EriC^^> ok, thanks
[05:27] <al_nz1> grrr
[05:27] <al_nz1> still saying cant mount
[05:27] <al_nz1> no longer mounted under media
[05:27] <EriC^^> type lsblk
[05:27] <EriC^^> is it mounted anywhere? what was the mount error about?
[05:27] <al_nz1> busy
[05:28] <al_nz1> sda5 mounted as swap
[05:28] <EriC^^> ok type sudo umount /dev/sda1
[05:29] <al_nz1> done

[05:48] <mac__> hy all.. i need some answers and guides over linux.. need to reconfigure keyboard.. everytime engleash...
[05:48] <cfhowlett> mac__, what language do you want
[05:48] <mac__> slovene
[05:48] <mac__> slovenija
[05:48] <mac__> slovenian
[05:49] <mac__> sorry... morning here
[05:49] <cfhowlett> !si | mac__
[05:50] <mac__> yeah..
[05:50] <mac__> so.. does anyone have few moments_
[05:50] <mac__> so.. does anyone have few moments?
[05:52] <mac__>  Če potrebujete pomoč v Slovenskem jeziku.. i don-t want that
[05:52] <cfhowlett> !keyboard | mac__
[05:54] <mac__> did that.. and every time is back in engleash
[05:57] <pantato> I have a box and the internet is being reeeeeaallllly slow
[05:57] <pantato> i think it might be the onboard lan adapter
[05:57] <pantato> anyone have any idea how i could figure out what's wrong from the command line?
[05:57] <mac__> will i have to reinstall ubuntu_
[05:58] <cfhowlett> mac__, DO NOT reinstall.  that's a windows solution and this aint windows.
[05:59] <mac__> i know it aint.. but.. everytime back in engleash.. its.. delay
[05:59] <Guest23890> how do i open rpm files in ubuntu
[06:00] <pantato> you don't
[06:00] <MACscr> Guest23890: you can, but you typically dont
[06:00] <somsip> !info alien | Guest23890
[06:00] <cfhowlett> Guest23890, probably can't as rpm is for fedora.  ubuntu uses .deb.   "alien" command MIGHT! work SOMEWHAT!
[06:00] <pantato> Guest23890, what are you trying to install?
[06:00] <Guest23890> comodo anti virus
[06:01] <mac__> its funny.. because i am looking at that check thing.. and it says.. use the same source for all windows..
[06:01] <MACscr> rofl
[06:01] <mac__> but somehow is back in engleash
[06:01] <xangua> mac__: you mean the keyboard distribution? what ubuntu release are you using?
[06:01] <mac__> and where the hell is smlile?
[06:01] <cfhowlett> !antivirus | Guest23890
[06:01] <MACscr> never seen English spelled that way =P
[06:02] <mac__> ubuntu 14.... something..
[06:02] <MACscr> cfhowlett: or on web servers
[06:02] <mac__> lts
[06:02] <pantato> Guest23890, Installing an anti-virus program defeats the purpose of installing Linux at all
[06:03] <xangua> wow I just noticed I can't take a screenshot using the screenshot key!
[06:03] <mac__> it is like .. some program aint supported for slovenian keyboard.. and it changes while running :-S
[06:03] <xangua> mac__: have you tried removing the english entry in your Text Imput preferences?
[06:03] <MACscr> xangua: uh, most keyboards dont have such a key
[06:04] <pantato> MACscr, I think he's referring to print screen
[06:04] <mac__> possible.. pc was first mented for other users
[06:05] <xangua> Guess time to go back to LTS
[06:07] <mac__> i did not installed.. but i think it was used slovenian language while install
[06:07] <cfhowlett> mac__, ah!  got it!  wait 1
[06:07] <mac__> tnx
[06:08] <mac__> by the way... does shell extensions.. are not supported for slovenia? :-)
[06:09] <mac__> sorry.. wheather extensions
[06:09] <cfhowlett> mac__, settings during install are supposed to be temporary "locale".  sudo locale-gen purge              will clear those.  MIGHT clear you language problems
[06:10] <mac__> ok...
[06:10] <mac__> did entered..  tnx
[06:10] <genesis_> hi
[06:11] <mac__> if id did worked.. and if i ever meet u.. i buy a drink ;-)
[06:11] <cfhowlett> mac__, you might need to logout / login for that to work
[06:11] <mac__> tnx
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | cfhowlett
[06:11] <cfhowlett> genesis_,  ask your ubuntu questions
[06:11] <mac__> tnx a lot
[06:11] <cfhowlett> lotuspsychje, :)
[06:12] <cfhowlett> mac__, happy2help!
[06:12] <mac__> :-)
[06:12] <genesis_> happy new year to all
[06:13] <mac__> happy new year :-) let all cops die on duty.. :-)
[06:13] <cfhowlett> seriously?
[06:13] <mac__> or at least sleep..
[06:14] <mac__> i dont care.. i was inocent behind the bars..
[06:14] <cfhowlett> mac__, offtopic and likely a violation of this channel rules.  stop.  now.!
[06:14] <mac__> anyway.. gone now.. tnx 4 help

[06:16] <genesis_> sorry ment a simple
[06:16] <elewis> cfhowlett, could you recomend one?
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> elewis: i tryed mullvad for ubuntu once, swedish vpn

[06:21] <cfhowlett> genesis_, huh.  perhaps not.
[06:21] <cfhowlett> genesis_, sugar on a stick wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick
[06:22] <genesis_> trying to setup a hackthon in april for the city kids to bring in new blood to linux
[06:22] <cfhowlett> genesis_, this is the original OS for the One Laptop Per Child but ...
[06:22] <cfhowlett> genesis_, y u no edubuntu!
[06:22] <cfhowlett> !edubuntu | genesis_
[06:22] <genesis_> ya seen it..its cool
[06:23] <cfhowlett> genesis_, how old is your target audience?
[06:26] <MACscr> i really wish lxd was already available
[06:26] <phre4k> use a standard Xubuntu, genesis_. Edubuntu is... well... mediocre.
[06:26] <ankit> where is the hackthon being conducted?
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> the edubundles for existing ubuntu system looking neat also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu/AppGuide
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> phre4k: what do you mean by that?
[06:30] <al_nz1> EriC^^: you still here?
[06:31] <phre4k> lotuspsychje: I think the kids will be better off learning a flavour of Ubuntu which they'd actually install at home
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> phre4k: edubuntu can be installed at home also, 14.04 on their site
[06:33] <Stanley00> al_nz1: you still got problem?
[06:33] <phre4k> lotuspsychje: yes, but who actually installs Edubuntu at home?
[06:33] <ankit> hi
[06:34] <ankit> can some one tell me how to automount my hdd partitions
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !automount | ankit
[06:34] <phre4k> ankit: use autofs or x-systemd-automount
[06:35] <ankit> someont told me to edit fstab filr
[06:35] <ankit> file
[06:37] <GeekMan1222_> can someone help me with chrooting a user into a directory on a drive using sftp pam keeps barking at me that i have invalid permissions and or modes for chroot
[06:37] <GeekMan1222_> I did a chmod 755 through the entire directory path and chowned the path as root:root like i read i should
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> running 6.6.? of openssh if you need a pastebin of the config file i can give it
[06:38] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: are you root?
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> no
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> the user isnt
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> i am
[06:38] <phre4k> which tutorial are you following?
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> http://jayeshjayan.com/chrooted-sftp-fatal-bad-ownership-or-modes-for-chroot-directory-component/
[06:38] <GeekMan1222_> i have spent hours trying to do this
[06:39] <GeekMan1222_> if i remove chroot options from the config file i can login just fine with the other user obv
[06:39] <GeekMan1222_> its most definatly a permissions thing
[06:40] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SFTP_chroot → apart from Arch-specific commands it's a pretty good writeup
[06:40] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: did you restart SFTP? Are the users in the corresponding group or is the user in the sshd_config?
[06:40] <phre4k> *restart sshd
[06:40] <GeekMan1222_> well i did the group route
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> the config is loaded restarted the ssh service
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> there is no sshd service but it updates just the same
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> i think
[06:41] <GeekMan1222_> cause i can confirm making changes in /etc/ssh/sshd_config are changed when restarting ssh
[06:41] <phre4k> then is the user really in this group?
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> its really in that group even checked
[06:42] <phre4k> groups [user] shows it?
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> i can check again
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> hold on ill check again
[06:42] <phre4k> ok
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:42] <GeekMan1222_> its really in that group
[06:43] <GeekMan1222_> i didnt do the single user path idk if i said that just the match group config path
[06:44] <GeekMan1222_> when i make directory changes i doubt id need to restart the service right? phre4k
[06:44] <GeekMan1222_> that wouldnt make much logical sense
[06:45] <phre4k> GeekMan1222_: no, only with config changes. And ls -l on the folder really shows drwxr-xr-x?
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> ill check again though
[06:45] <phre4k> and root:root?
[06:45] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:46] <phre4k> you know after restarting ssh you have to relogin with the user?
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> come again phre4k
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> and yes the path is correct
[06:47] <phre4k> you SFTP with FileZilla or the like?
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> permissions to my knowledge
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> yes
[06:47] <GeekMan1222_> i do testing with filezilla
[06:47] <phre4k> You have to logout and reconnect with FileZilla
[06:48] <phre4k> I don't see any misconfiguration honestly. The Arch Wiki shows the same approach and I always do the same, too.
[06:48] <GeekMan1222_> hold on then
[06:48] <phre4k> look for any CamelCase mistakes or other typos.
[06:49] <GeekMan1222_> ok also i did a few things to my config as well
[06:49] <GeekMan1222_> like Allow Users and Allow Groups
[06:50] <GeekMan1222_> are these options ok to have in there as well i would assume i need them
[06:51] <phre4k> yes, but you can also try to comment them out, reload ssh and logout with filezilla, login again
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> also when i made the user
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> -s /bin/false
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> thats ok
[06:51] <GeekMan1222_> im checking discrepencies with the tutorial you provided
[06:53] <GeekMan1222_> real quick how do i check the home of a user
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> cause i was trying it that way instead of directly stating the path in the sshd_config
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> err idk why i asked that
[06:54] <GeekMan1222_> i have google
[06:55] <EriC^^> echo ~<user> ?
[07:00] <al_nz1> EriC^^: that fixed works :-) Tankx
[07:01] <EriC^^> al_nz1: great, no problem :)
[07:03] <GeekMan1222_> phre4k, when im doing that whole path does the final directory need to be set with those permissions say /path/to/home/ home also needs those permissions correct?
[07:03] <GeekMan1222_> if home is to be the chrooted directory start of sorts of the user
[07:11] <yourbeau> there is a huge problem man; the gedit just closes without no error or nothing I just lost a lot of notes I did create ; :[ what to do to check what could have been causing it?
[07:11] <yourbeau> Ubuntu 14.04
[07:11] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, there should be an entry in your logs.
[07:12] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, where are the logs ? /var/log ?
[07:12] <yourbeau> I am so sad
[07:12] <yourbeau> I lost my work
[07:12] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, save early, save often ...
[07:15] <bubbasaures> yourbeau, Are you running gedit in root?
[07:18] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, but wtf man
[07:18] <yourbeau> bubbasaures, no as a user only
[07:18] <bubbasaures> yourbeau, mine always asks, must be a config on this.
[07:21] <cfhowlett> yourbeau, has it autoclosed more than once?
[07:23] <OerHeks> yourbeau, it is not easy to set the autosave function on, see http://askubuntu.com/a/178258
[07:26] <neionz> I've got 32MB ram.. what do I do with it?
[07:26] <cfhowlett> !details | neionz
[07:27] <GeekMan1222_> god this is annoying right now
[07:27] <cfhowlett> neionz, 32mb?  no ubuntu for you!
[07:27] <GeekMan1222_> Pam shes being a bitch
[07:27] <cfhowlett> GeekMan1222_, wrong channel
[07:28] <neionz> cfhowlett: no ubuntu for me? :p why?
[07:28] <neionz> GeekMan1222_: what are you talking about?
[07:28] <cfhowlett> neionz, because 32 mb isn't enough
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> getting my sftp user to work
[07:28] <neionz> !details GeekMan1222_
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> XD
[07:28] <neionz> !details | GeekMan1222_
[07:28] <GeekMan1222_> dude ik
[07:29] <GeekMan1222_> if you want a log i can provide one though not much use and a config file
[07:29] <neionz> GeekMan1222_: what do you mean by dude? Elaborate plox :)
[07:29] <GeekMan1222_> phre4k, was trying to help me a second ago
[07:30] <neionz> wait, I've got an idea! :D Ramdisk! Because I store all kind of tmp junk
[07:30] <DeaDSouL__> hi... is there anyway to install ubuntu to usb... not from usb.. and not burning live-image to usb.. but actually install it on usb as if it is a physical hard-drive ?
[07:31] <neionz> is anyone in here using a ram disk (or condoms for that matter?)
[07:31] <GeekMan1222_> basically i have a user i want to have chrooted in sftp and i have my directorys set to the right permissions i think i have checked like twice now. Anyways pam is yelling at me saying that my permissions or chroot mode is not right i have tried a million things
[07:31] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | neionz, stay on channel topic
[07:31] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: yeah, the same way you install it on a disk
[07:31] <GeekMan1222_> i have checked spelling and camel caseing i been at this all day now
[07:32] <GeekMan1222_> neionz, the funny thing is if i remove the chroot options in the command line i can log in with said user but thats not what i want
[07:32] <neionz> cfhowlett: I was on topic, but I did also add the offensive word (condom) since I'm trying to promote positive actions against aids.
[07:32] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: I tried that.. but it doesn't boot
[07:32] <cfhowlett> neionz, this is ubuntu.  stay on topic
[07:32] <fnasce98> Cerio
[07:32] <rodolfo1998> ciao
[07:32] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | neionz
[07:32] <rodolfo1998> tutto bene?
[07:33] <fnasce98> si si
[07:33] <neionz> cfhowlett: I'm trying to, mind you, but you're spamming me constantly
[07:33] <fnasce98> hahahhaah neionz
[07:33] <neionz> cfhowlett: ignored
[07:33] <svetlana> neionz: thanks, a bit too big of a room, relax, we have a small bot here
[07:33] <rodolfo1998> codeblocks c'è anche per linux?
[07:33] <cfhowlett> !fr | rodolfo1998
[07:33] <fnasce98> si vai sul software center
[07:33] <rodolfo1998> (y)
[07:34] <rodolfo1998> quanto pesa?
[07:34] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: have you set up your bios to boot from usb?
[07:35] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: yes... and even i selected it manually.. same thing
[07:36] <Ben64> DeaDSouL__: did you install grub to the usb
[07:37] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you're doing it wrong then, some detail is wrong. Likely you haven't partitioned the USB right and didn't get the boot loader (i.e. grub) installed on the right partition
[07:37] <DeaDSouL__> Ben64: yes.. even tried to install it to main MBR... didn't work
[07:38] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: I let the installer to automatically partitioning it
[07:38] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: is the usb plugged into your computer right now?
[07:39] <DeaDSouL__> no
[07:39] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: no... but i can do it
[07:42] <GeekMan1222_> im an idiot
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> lol
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> 0755 i did 0775
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> finally
[07:43] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: yeah, and paste its partition on pastebin.com
[07:43] <GeekMan1222_> FINALLY
[07:43] <xorox90> I want to redirect http packet to 3033 port but ubuntu iptables don't redirect it any problem with this command? 'iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3033'
[07:44] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: paste the output of  lsblk /dev/sba  or whatever your usb device will be
[07:59] <SuperLag> So if you've added ttf-ancient-fonts, supposedly that's supposed to allow you to type in Emoji. I'm not sure how you actually do that, though
[08:00] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: here: http://pastebin.com/UwLk5neh
[08:04] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: which partition is grub installed in?
[08:04] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: never mind. What's the full output  of "file -s /dev/sdd"
[08:06] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: /dev/sdd1
[08:07] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: /dev/sdd: sticky x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 15294464 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x5, starthead 74, startsector 15298558, 755714 sectors, code offset 0x63
[08:08] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: there is no boot loader in your sdd
[08:10] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: how come?
[08:11] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: the output should have contained "GRand Unified Bootloader" which means that the MBR of sdd contains grub. It's the MBR of sdd that's loaded when you try to boot from it
[08:11] <cfhowlett> neionz, could he have installed it elsewhere?
[08:11] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you installed the loader on sdd1 instead of sdd, but that's only a guess. I'm not so good with boot loaders
[08:12] <neionz> cfhowlett: I don't know, but here's the expected output http://serverfault.com/questions/61400/how-do-i-tell-if-grub-is-installed-on-a-device
[08:12] <Ben64> doesn't work here... /dev/sdd: x86 boot sector
[08:12] <cfhowlett> DeaDSouL__, EZ fix?  install it to /dev/sda as expected
[08:13] <neionz> cfhowlett, DeaDSouL__: sdd, not sda (or you'll wipe your disk :p)
[08:13] <cfhowlett> !  sorry!
[08:13] <neionz> Ben64: what doesn't work?
[08:13] <Ben64> how come my 'file' doesn't give as much info
[08:14] <Ben64> i know grub is installed on sdd, but on my system it only says " x86 boot sector"
[08:14] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: how to install it on /dev/sdd
[08:15] <EriC^^> Ben64: same here, gpt partition tabe
[08:15] <cfhowlett> neionz, that's an OLD link and is inaccurate
[08:15] <superrorc> hi there!
[08:15] <EriC^^> on a msdos it says : DOS/MBR boot sector
[08:15] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: seems like I'm wrong about the output
[08:16] <superrorc> i configured network via interfaces, how can i set dns servers via resolvconf?
[08:16] <cfhowlett> Ben64, my grub is definitely on /dev/sda but file -s /dev/sda shows only paste.ubuntu.com/9691694/
[08:17] <Ben64> cfhowlett: yeah same
[08:18] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: my guess is that your installation is correct then. It seems so by your output from "fdisk -l /dev/sdd"
[08:19] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is this uefi?
[08:19] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: not it is not
[08:22] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: it's not uefi?
[08:22] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: lol, wait.. windows 8? It blocks all other operating systems
[08:22] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: you'll have to config lots of stuff in your uefi/bios then
[08:23] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: lol, sorry... no it's no
[08:23] <DeaDSouL__> not *
[08:24] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: can you paste the output of?      sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdd 2>/dev/null | strings
[08:24] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: what's your issue?
[08:25] <DeaDSouL__> neoark: i have another linux installed on the main harddrive.. and it's working fine... the thing is that I can not boot the installed-linux-on-usb
[08:26] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: did you select it in the bios?
[08:26] <Ben64> DeaDSouL__: you probably did not install grub to it...
[08:26] <DeaDSouL__> Ben64: how can I check if the grub is installed on in or not?
[08:27] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: yes i tried that
[08:27] <neionz> DeaDSouL__: paste the output of  "sudo dd bs=512 count=1 if=/dev/sdd 2>/dev/null | strings"   it will contain the string "grub" etc if grup is properly installed on the MBR
[08:27] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ok, when you selected it in the bios, what happened?
[08:27] <Ben64> neionz's command should do it
[08:27] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: freez
[08:28] <Ben64> what do you mean freeze
[08:28] <DeaDSouL__> neionz: what strings ?
[08:28] <Ben64> theres a command, called strings
[08:29] <Ben64> type it just how it is above
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> grep ?
[08:29] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: what do you mean by it freezes?
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> ok,.. then i will have to install it
[08:29] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: you're using lubuntu?
[08:29] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: it shows "grub loading" and do nothing after that
[08:29] <EriC^^> if it shows grub loading then grub is probably installed
[08:30] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: can you pastebin sudo parted -l ?
[08:30] <saki`> so i have ubuntu 14.04 running on a c720. I woke up today and the trackpad's behaving erratically and barely working.
[08:30] <saki`> is this too specific an issue to ask for help here?
[08:32] <saki`> i'm using a custom distro that has all the drivers bundled with it. I'm just trying to look for a way to test whats wrong
[08:33] <saki`> so i can go about fixing it
[08:33] <Ben64> doesn't sound like ubuntu
[08:33] <OerHeks> saki`, so it isn't the real ubuntu?
[08:34] <saki`> its ubuntu just with the drivers for the c720 preinstalled
[08:34] <saki`> https://www.distroshare.com/distros/get/12/  this basically
[08:35] <saki`> i hadn't run an upgrade between it working and not so i can't think of why it would suddenly break
[08:35] <OerHeks> "- More touchpad config tweaks" sounds nice, but you're in trouble now
[08:36] <saki`> i installed it several versions ago
[08:36] <saki`> no tweaks then
[08:37] <saki`> it was just the chrome os drivers installed on ubuntu
[08:38] <saki`> now he's gone ahead and made some tweaks but again, haven't run an upgrade of any sort, and I didn't see any custom repositories anywhere
[08:39] <DeaDSouL__> neoark: please check this: http://pastebin.com/3ZCapHed
[08:39] <saki`> so it can't be that as far as I understand it
[08:41] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^, Ben64: http://pastebin.com/3ZCapHed
[08:42] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: sudo parted -l
[08:43] <stevenm> Where can I discuss packaging?
[08:47] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/QHME5Q2j
[08:52] <DeaDSouL__> any help guys
[08:54] <saki`> OerHeks, what were you saying?
[08:55] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, yep it did happen before
[08:55] <SuperLag> So if you've added ttf-ancient-fonts, supposedly that's supposed to allow you to type in Emoji. I'm not sure how you actually do that, though
[08:55] <SuperLag> How do you actually type Emoji characters in Ubuntu?
[08:55] <yourbeau> cfhowlett, what should I do ?
[08:58] <OerHeks> saki`, i don't know where to look for, what tweak is bugging you.
[08:59] <saki`> i'm saying there are no tweaks. the version i was using is a simple port of the chrome OS trackpad drivers over to ubuntu
[08:59] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: type sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
[09:00] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok
[09:00] <saki`> and there aren't any custom repositories so I imagine that would cover most of what went wrong
[09:00] <EriC^^> for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[09:00] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ^^
[09:02] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done
[09:02] <EriC^^> sudo chroot /mnt
[09:03] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok
[09:03] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: apt-get install --reinstall grub-pc
[09:03] <OerHeks> saki`, there must be tweaks, as the touchpad needs a lot of settings to make it work.
[09:03] <bitnumus> hi all, i accidently removed a bunch of packages by trying to remove wine and not noticing a regex match/change that doesn't make sense at all... i pressed enter too quickly. How can i make sure ubuntu has the packages it needs to run before i restart?
[09:04] <bazhang> try installing the ubuntu-desktop package bitnumus
[09:04] <bitnumus> bazhang, yea i did that one, there was a few, any others you can think of?
[09:04] <bazhang> not offhand no
[09:05] <bitnumus> ok thanks, anyone else?
[09:05] <EriC^^> bitnumus: just check what you removed
[09:05] <MACscr> grr, my new server (Lenovo TS140) only has 5 sata ports and i need 6, so i added a PCI Express SATA controller than i had which is typically supported well by linux distros. Ive tried it into different slots, yet lspci doesnt seem to see it. Any suggestions?
[09:05] <bitnumus> EriC^^, how? terminal scroll doens't go back that far
[09:05] <EriC^^> /var/log/apt/history.log
[09:05] <bitnumus> ta
[09:05] <EriC^^> check that file
[09:06] <bitnumus> EriC^^, quite a lot by the time i killed dpkg it seems
[09:06] <bitnumus> is there a cleaner file you know of i could copy/paste from to reinstall without scripting something ?
[09:06] <EriC^^> bitnumus: get the list, parse it, and xargs reinstall it
[09:06] <EriC^^> it's very easy to parse it
[09:07] <EriC^^> hold on
[09:07] <bitnumus> is it? :S
[09:07] <EriC^^> get the list first and paste it into a file
[09:08] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done.. should i reboot and try now ?
[09:08] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: no
[09:08] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdd
[09:08] <EriC^^> bitnumus: type sed -ie 's/([^()]*)//g' /path/to/list
[09:09] <EriC^^> that'll remove the stuff between the ( )
[09:09] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^:  Installation finished. No error reported.
[09:09] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: update-grub
[09:11] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: done
[09:12] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: ok, did it mention picking up linux kernels?
[09:13] <bitnumus> EriC^^, cool, there is one whitespace after the package name, what to add to remove that also ?
[09:13] <EriC^^> did you remove the commas?
[09:13] <bitnumus> its like this    libkde3support4:amd64 , libktexteditor4:amd64 , l
[09:13] <EriC^^> sed -i 's/ , / /g' /path/to/list
[09:14] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/VdCW0Vis
[09:14] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: why did it mention /dev/sdc1 ???
[09:14] <EriC^^> bitnumus: cat /path/to/list | xargs sudo apt-get install
[09:14] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: probably has another os
[09:15] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: oh.. yes
[09:15] <bitnumus> EriC^^, excellent thanks
[09:16] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: hmm try to reboot
[09:16] <EriC^^> it's kind of odd it said that, i dont know
[09:16] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: type exit, then restart the pc
[09:17] <EriC^^> bitnumus: no problem
[09:18] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: ok.. doing it now
[09:18] <bitnumus> lets hope the restart doesn't kill my box :D
[09:20] <EriC^^> bitnumus: :D
[09:21] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: lol... same thing ... "GRUB loading." ... "Welcome to GRUB!" ......... and freezes !!!
[09:21] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: if you hold shift what happens
[09:21] <EriC^^> ( while the pc boots )
[09:22] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is it very easy for you to disconnect other hdds?
[09:22] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: nothing
[09:24] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: it's a laptop :(
[09:24] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL__: is the bios set to msdos?
[09:26] <MagePsycho> which one should we use in .sh script? #!/bin/sh vs #!/bin/bash
[09:26] <DeaDSouL__> EriC^^: idk... I'll check now

[09:44] <Stanley00> !nomodeset | ilea I think did will help
[09:48] <ilea> yes that page is helpful but after it boots in 2 minutes or less it goes to a corupted splash screen and freezes i dont have time to enter this comands and make it stable
[09:50] <Shen> anonops.com
[09:50] <Stanley00> ilea: you type in before it boot. when ubuntu show a purple screen, press ESC (IIRC), and you will see how to insert that (via F6 key, I think)
[09:51] <Stanley00> ilea: follow guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions to enter that nomodeset option
[09:53] <ilea> ooo ok strange that some hardware have this thing and needs to set it from comands on my laptop i dont have any isue with my intel hd graphics
[09:54] <Stanley00> ilea: intel is well support in linux :3

[10:00] <cfhowlett> no_gravity, shoot it and edit OR ... save the html(5)   ... the coding should allow you to extract the valuable images
[10:00] <Stanley00> ilea: it is nomodeset, but acpi may help too
[10:01] <huvollo> hello ladies and gents! it is next to impossible to watch any streaming on firefox, due to missing 'flash'---- is there any alternative?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> !flash | huvollo
[10:02] <cfhowlett> huvollo, or use the chromium browser
[10:03] <Stanley00> cfhowlett: chromium has flash builtin now?
[10:03] <huvollo> cfhowlett, I am looking for a flash alternative.
[10:03] <Stanley00> huvollo: if that site support html5, you're lucky, but if not, you'll need flash
[10:04] <cfhowlett> Stanley00, I seem to recall that chromium is html5 friendly
[10:04] <Stanley00> cfhowlett: html5, got it :3
[10:04] <huvollo> Stanley00, I have problem watching streamings often..so it seems they are all html5-unfriendly
[10:06] <yourbeau> why are APT based distro rocking the stage at this moment ?
[10:06] <yourbeau> is it because of Ubuntu ?
[10:06] <Stanley00> huvollo: you can look at !gnash too, but I had a bad time with it long time ago. I'm not sure how is it now.
[10:09] <huvollo> I tried chromium, but it doesnt work, either. do i need to install something?
[10:10] <cfhowlett> huvollo, dpkg -l | grep flashplugin-installer | pastebinit
[10:11] <huvollo> cfhowlett, is there a way to watch them without flash?
[10:11] <cfhowlett> huvollo, depends on the provider
[10:12] <huvollo> cfhowlett, but I mean, within ubuntu, is there an alternative plugin at the moment? earlier there used to be that.
[10:13] <cfhowlett> huvollo, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer  from the multiverse repo
[10:13] <hateball> huvollo: there is gnash
[10:13] <huvollo> cfhowlett, does gnash really serve as the substitute?
[10:14] <cfhowlett> huvollo, never used it ...
[10:14] <isaac_> hello
[10:15] <huvollo> cfhowlett, i see. thank you for your help!

[10:46] <zim_> hey all, i'm having gfx card driver issues
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> !deails | zim_
[10:48] <zim_> i installed the ATI Radeon driver yesterday and it stopped me from booting into my desktop, so i had to try 100 different things to uninstall it again and reset X11 to be able to boot back into my desktop again
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> details | zim_
[10:48] <lotuspsychje> zim_: where did you install ati driver from?
[10:49] <zim_> i downloaded the driver from the AMD website
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did the driver ubuntu choose, not work for you?
[10:49] <zim_> and installed it via the command line
[10:49] <zim_> nope it's not working with sid meiers beyond earth
[10:49] <zim_> the screen goes blank when i try to load it via steam
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> zim_: ubuntu version?
[10:50] <zim_> 14.04
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did you install ubuntu 14.04 with internet and updates enabled during install?
[10:51] <zim_> yep
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> zim_: did you test other drivers at your additional drivers section?
[10:51] <zim_> nope, there's nothing there under the "additional drivers" section
[10:52] <lotuspsychje> hmm okay
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> zim_: maybe try to enter grub (recoverymode) failsafeX
[10:53] <lotuspsychje> zim_: and fix broken packages from there maybe
[10:54] <imdea> Hi, I'm trying to install MATE 1.8.1 in Ubuntu 14.04.1 (LTS) but after following instructions on MATE's website when I try to install it by executing: 'apt-get install mate-desktop-environment-extras' I get an error that says that some packages could not be installed and that there are unment dependencies. Any ideas?
[10:54] <zim_> i did and it wouldn't boot
[10:54] <phoenix1995> My WiFi doesn't work in Ubuntu as it does in Windows. The card is rtl8187...that's all..
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> !realtek | phoenix1995
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> phoenix1995: try also lastest drivers from realteks website
[10:55] <zim_> failsafex didn't work properly
[10:55] <zim_> any other ideas?
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> imdea: there's an article about mate on omgubuntu
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> zim_: hmm, not sure mate sorry, maybe reinstall trusty fresh
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> bbl dinner
[10:56] <Kira9204> if the drivers fail should't he have a TTY at ctrl+alt+f1?
[10:56] <Kira9204> and from there have a normal terminal enviroment?
[10:56] <imdea> I know, but it doesn't work. That's why I'm asking.
[10:56] <zim_> you talking about me Kira?
[10:56] <Kira9204> yeah
[10:57] <Kira9204> zim_: i've had problems with nvidia drivers before, but they have always been solved by updati g system and installing via additional drivers
[10:57] <zim_> yeah i was able to access the tty, that's how i was able to boot into X again, but i had to uninstall the ATI driver first
[10:58] <zim_> there's nothing under additional drivers, it's all blanked out with nothing there
[10:58] <Kira9204> zim_: what card do you have?
[10:58] <zim_> Mobility Radeon HD 4650/5165
[10:59] <frenda> lotuspsychje: The link tells: 5 GB
[10:59] <frenda> 5GB + 3GB = 8GB
[10:59] <zim_> lotuspsychje is gone
[11:00] <frenda> Will it work?
[11:00] <phoenix1995> ubottu: No help. Option #1 is for older versions (and only support WEP) and Option #2 doesn't give much hope (they say it's still not functioning with 30-50% reduce in speed.) HELP! :/
[11:00] <Kira9204> zim_: Sadly AMD dropped support for all 4xxx cards summer 2013, and the legacy driver is incompatible with ubuntu >12
[11:00] <frenda> 5GB for Ubuntu and 3GB extra space for home and extra apps such as vlc, etc.?
[11:01] <amokaci> :q
[11:01] <Kira9204> zim_: the Open source driver should work however
[11:01] <Kira9204> and as far as i know, the performace diffrence is is pretty small at this point
[11:02] <zim_> that sucks
[11:02] <Kira9204> zim_: Yeh, AMD has always been lazy with drivers in my opinion
[11:02] <zim_> sid meiers beyond earth doesn't work with this driver
[11:03] <Kira9204> zim_: but good news is that 12.04 is supported until 1017
[11:03] <Kira9204> *2017
[11:03] <zim_> it gives me a blank screen everytime i try to start it up
[11:03] <phoenix1995> Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter...doesn't work in Ubuntu 14.04, 12.04 or any version..The WiFi is connected, sometimes a page happens to open (though with reduced speed)..overall no consistency
[11:05] <phoenix1995> Anybody having similar problem with their network card and had some solutions...!?
[11:05] <Kira9204> zim_: you best bet then is probably to stay at 12 (still supported) or get in contact with one of the Open Source AMD/ATI developers
[11:06] <Kira9204> im not sure where, but they probably have an IRC like this one
[11:06] <zim_> what will they be able to do?
[11:06] <phoenix1995> Please help as I'm not wanting to use Ubuntu till the problem gets fixed..! P.S The card doesn't actually work in any Linux version..it's detected , connects to network but no internet (90% speed reduced)
[11:07] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, hi again :) did a quick googling for that model and 14.04 this post has an answer that's accepted and sounds like the same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/453110/rtl8187-wireless-card-drops-signal-within-seconds
[11:08] <Kira9204> zim_: Most likley they will help you file a bug report
[11:08] <Kira9204> debug the problem
[11:08] <phoenix1995> wafflejock: Hi again (we met in #programming :D)..thanks I'll give it a quick try..!
[11:08] <Kira9204> so that they might be able to fix it in an update
[11:08] <zim_> oh yeah
[11:09] <zim_> thanks
[11:09] <Kira9204> np :)
[11:09] <zim_> back tomorrow
[11:11] <phoenix1995> Oh no I seemed to have opened 500 songs in separate VLC windows..now nothing is working except chat..
[11:14] <stealthfigther> hi i am new in this chat and new as well using ubuntu
[11:14] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, you can Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login to a TTY Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to your display, when in the tty you can use sudo killall vlc, to close them all down
[11:15] <Jarvix> how do you burn a rom img to sdcard in ubuntu?
[11:15] <wafflejock> Jarvix, typically just use dd command
[11:15] <wafflejock> Jarvix, like, dd if=someimage.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M
[11:16] <Jarvix> wafflejock, not familiar with dd
[11:16] <wafflejock> Jarvix, what ROM are you trying to put on an sdcard?
[11:16] <phoenix1995> wafflejock: Oh didn't know that..thank you you've helped me much today :)
[11:16] <Jarvix> trying to flash factory firmware for android tablet
[11:16] <wafflejock> Jarvix, it just does a block by block copy from a image file to a disk or vice versa, it's how you typically make an image from a disk or restore one
[11:16] <wafflejock> phoenix1995, np
[11:16] <kaste> why does unity still lock the screen even though I disabled the shortcut?
[11:17] <Jarvix> wafflejock, thank you
[11:18] <wafflejock> Jarvix, np typically only times I'm really doing this it's for flashing an SD card for a RasPi or BeagleBone black usually the sites providing the image have some instructions but if you google dd and what you're trying to do you'll probably find more specific examples
[11:20] <Jarvix> wafflejock, the tablet OEM site gives the firmware and a program to flash the sd card, but its a windows exe, ive tried wine and playonlinux
[11:20] <Jarvix> no luck
[11:21] <wafflejock> Jarvix, got a link for what you're looking at, maybe a little Google fu will get you an answer
[11:22] <jarnos> Any idea why apt-get does not understand its options, if -- is used as the last option?
[11:24] <Jarvix> http://www.craigelectronics.com/site/pdetails.php?id=414
[11:24] <Jarvix> daughter's tablet. its stuck in a boot loop, happened out of the blue
[11:30] <wafflejock> Jarvix, hmm well if it's bricked and there's no harm you can just give DD a shot, not sure if the OEM there packaged the whole disk onto that image or if it's just supposed to be for one of the partitions, that's my only concern see https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93488
[11:31] <wafflejock> Jarvix, do you have access to a windows machine? you may want to just go that route in the interest of not completely bricking the device in case it doesn't actually have all these partitions in that image file
[11:31] <rahc> how can I stop the dash from sending information to canonical?
[11:31] <wafflejock> Jarvix, if you want to go with dd, you can use lsblk in the terminal to see the target devices "name"
[11:31] <Jarvix> wafflejock, when i turn it on to try and boot into recovery using button combos, all i get is the android icon laying down with a red triangle
[11:32] <Jarvix> wafflejock, like this?  http://www.udoo.org/getting-started/creating-a-bootable-micro-sd-card-from-image/
[11:32] <rahc> and also remove shopping results from the search?
[11:32] <adsc> it's too bad that the binary nvidia driver doesn't seem to give access to temp sensors
[11:37] <Greylocks> rahc, have a look at this: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[11:39] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yup basically "if" is for the input (in this case the image file) "of" is the output which should be the SD card (critical to get this right) bs is the block size, typically 4M is good doesn't take too long and usually works
[11:39] <wafflejock> Jarvix, you can run lsblk, in a terminal before plugging in the SD card then plug it in and run lsblk again, the new thing you see show up is the SD card device you'll need to use for the of
[11:42] <Jarvix> wafflejock, thanks a lot, im gonna give it a go
[11:42] <rahc> gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "['more_suggestions-amazon.scope', 'more_suggestions-u1ms.scope', 'more_suggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope', 'more_suggestions-ebay.scope', 'more_suggestions-ubuntushop.scope', 'more_suggestions-skimlinks.scope']"
[11:42] <rahc> that's pretty esoteric
[11:42] <rahc> thanks
[11:45] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yeah good luck, typically it can take something like 10-15 minutes for it to complete (depends on image size and SD card speed and stuff) but you don't really get any feedback from it, there are a couple of ways to probe it to see how far it's progressed but just let it run for a bit
[11:46] <blackangelpr> could some one tell me if i need to worry about this dmesg alerts ?   http://pastebin.com/vFaU6rhm
[11:58] <the_tricky> hello there, guys
[11:59] <aperez> hi guys
[11:59] <aperez> how are you?
[11:59] <the_tricky> i've just made a bootable USB stick to install a Linux distro
[11:59] <the_tricky> after that i've formatted it to be clean
[12:00] <the_tricky> how do i revert its label now?
[12:00] <the_tricky> before that it was just containing its capacity
[12:01] <Jarvix> wafflejock, you still around?
[12:01] <the_tricky> now it contains the distro's name
[12:01] <wafflejock> Jarvix, yup what's up?
[12:03] <Jarvix> how do you pm?
[12:09] <arun_> hi all
[12:17] <krypton> My ubuntu 14.04 is booting very slow.
[12:19] <kokut> Anyone knows a good program to make resumes? I'm a little bit sick of using Inkscape, its very powerful but time consuming too and doesn't provide many guides
[12:20] <arun_> guys, is NICs bonding possible with this http://linoxide.com/linux-command/interface-nics-bonding-linux ?
[12:22] <DJones> kokut: Resumes as in CV for job applications? If so I just use Libreoffice writer
[12:24] <kokut> DJones: yea, i just found this http://i.stack.imgur.com/CBLw2.png and it looks really good, done in LaTeX but I don't have much time to learn that now so i'm gonna go with libreoffice
[12:26] <DJones> kokut: Right, thats not something I've used
[12:29] <wafflejock> kokut, you may want to check out markdown too think with some markdown and a little CSS you could make something similar and pretty easy to update
[12:30] <wafflejock> kokut, there's an editor called ReText that can show you a live preview and lets you import CSS, basically you can write the stuff with markdown (which is like simplified HTML) and generate HTML out of it
[12:30] <wafflejock> https://github.com/there4/markdown-resume <-- might do this myself, take my own advice here :)
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:36] <kokut> wafflejock: looks good, the LaTeX one looks better tho, might give it a try because looks easy and fast to set up
[12:40] <gavin__> hello
[12:40] <gavin__> anybody here now
[12:41] <gavin__> hello
[12:41] <BluesKaj> hi
[12:41] <gavin__> i am new here
[12:41] <lotuspsychje> gavin__: this channel if for ubuntu support questions
[12:42] <BluesKaj> just ask your question , gavin__
[12:42] <krypton> My Ubuntu 14.04 (self compiled Kernel) is booting very slow.
[12:42] <peter__> i have a question. I'm using openSUSE 13.2 Gnome Shell 3.14.1, there is one thing anoying, which is when i connect USB stick to my laptop, i couldn't open it with nautilus from the system msg window, instead, it only give me the option of using disk usage check tool, can anyone tell me how to correct it to open file with nautilus as default opening application?
[12:42] <lotuspsychje> peter__: only ubuntu support here mate
[12:43] <lotuspsychje> peter__: try the #suse channel
[12:43] <the_tricky> anybody? how do i revert an USB stick label to a default one?
[12:43] <the_tricky> in Ubuntu, of course
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> !info gparted | the_tricky
[12:44] <cfhowlett> peter__, wrong channel.  this is ubuntu support
[12:44] <gavin__> my question:when i want to installer two softwares  at the same time,the second one is told that "/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11:" is unusable
[12:44] <the_tricky> lotuspsychje: yeah, i know about gparted
[12:44] <peter__> yeah, i know, just think this is something about gnome shell
[12:44] <lotuspsychje> !aptlock | gavin__
[12:44] <the_tricky> lotuspsychje: but if i leave the label field empty, nothing changes
[12:47] <gavin__> ubottu_:and this is useful to install two,or even more softwares at the same time?
[12:48] <gavin__> i wonder where are the people here from?
[12:48] <johnny_bravo> hey guys
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> anyone knows any way in bash to source a file but not execute it?
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> i need the VARs from the file but i dont wanna run it
[12:49] <johnny_bravo> source /path/to/file executes the whole thing
[12:50] <DJones> gavin__: What the bot means is that if you're installing one piece of software via command line and trying to use synaptic or any other gui package manager, you can only do one thing at a time
[12:52] <gavin__> DJones:i got it
[12:52] <gavin__> thx
[13:00] <neopsyche> Hi all. I hope you are having a nice day/night.  I have a comment of woe.  No matter how hard I try.. ACPI issues are causing kworker (along with something to do with sandybridge architechture) to cause computer slowdown on a samsung ultrabook. I can turn acpi off completely but then no power mangagement . for the mostpart. from what I can tell.
[13:03] <gavin__> i wonder where are the people here from,i am from China
[13:03] <EriC^^> wonder in #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:03] <EriC^^> :P
[13:04] <marshal0505> lol
[13:08] <gavin__> anybody from America?
[13:12] <blacknred0> ok - I think I might need some help.  I am trying to create a my own self-signed SMIME certificate that I can later import into my iPhone. I have no problem creating it and using the cert in Thunderbird or Mail (Apple), but when I import it into iOS, the cert is not found since it doesn't have the right extentions. I've tested everything that I could, but nothing seem to be working.  I even rebooted my machine after making changes to
[13:12] <blacknred0>  "openssl.cnf". Here is the steps that I followed -> https://gist.github.com/richieforeman/3166387. Any thoughts?
[13:13] <cfhowlett> blacknred0, first thought: ask #apple about #apple problems
[13:15] <_dreamer> Hello, I have been running ubuntu 14.04 LTS for a while now on my laptop. I would like to install windows 7 for running my games instead of using cross over or wine. I am kind of petrified because I do not want to ruin my installation and would like to ask you for a good guide on this matter. Also if you have any useful tips  that would be nice.
[13:15] <blacknred0> cfhowlett - I tried there yesterday and they mention that it might be a openssl issue since the cert is not exporting the extensions.  What it is interesting is that when I run the command to create the crt and try to open it, it says that the cert is unsupported.
[13:16] <_dreamer> I want to keep my ubuntu installation, but usually I go about it the opposite way, windows first and then ubuntu...
[13:16] <ByT3b0N3> hi guys
[13:16] <ByT3b0N3>  anyone knows how to get page size of a flash drive?
[13:16] <adsc> you should, because ubuntu cares about other oses, while windows doesn't
[13:17] <adsc> _dreamer: the easiest thing to do would be to add another hard drive just for windows
[13:17] <heeraj> just install virtualbox and then use windows
[13:17] <_dreamer> adsc: It's a laptop
[13:18] <adsc> heeraj, _dreamer: virtualization is a bad choice for gaming
[13:18] <adsc> _dreamer: then you have to make space on your drive for a new partition that windows can use
[13:18] <adsc> _dreamer: you can use gparted for partition resizing and adding a new partition
[13:19] <BluesKaj_> dual booting is bit more work to switch over from one OS to the other, but it's worth it
[13:19] <_dreamer> adsc: what I am scared of is that my grub will not tolerate that kind of treatment :P
[13:20] <BluesKaj_> that's what gtub is for :)\
[13:20] <BluesKaj_> grub rather
[13:20] <wafflejock> ah never heard of gtub :)
[13:20] <wafflejock> sounds fun
[13:21] <blackangelpr> could anyone tell me if i need to worry about this http://pastebin.com/1hSKjPLp   dmesg alerts ? :p
[13:21] <_dreamer> so if I make a new ntfs partition with gparted I don have to do anything else but to enjoy my computer?
[13:21] <rrr> why the speed of scp is gradually going down to zero?
[13:21] <adsc> _dreamer: yes, you will have to reinstall grub, because windows is overwriting it with its own bootloader
[13:22] <rrr> i believe scp uses ssh protocol, is that normal for ssh protocol?
[13:22] <_dreamer> adsc: And how do I do that after it gets f****d by windows?
[13:22] <adsc> _dreamer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6317/how-can-i-install-windows-after-ive-installed-ubuntu
[13:22] <gavin__> how to change a channel
[13:23] <adsc> with /join
[13:23] <adsc> append channel name
[13:23] <BluesKaj_> _dreamer, it's quite simple really
[13:30] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, something in particular making you nervous in there
[13:30] <tymat> I'm trying to find out how to determine the configuration/compile/linker flags used for a specific apt package?
[13:32] <geirha> tymat:   apt-get source pgkname   (without sudo)   and then look in  srcpkgname-version/debian/
[13:32] <blackangelpr> wafflejock, at the end mention [   59.001218] systemd-hostnamed[2932]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed. Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install nss-myhostname! but the information about this its not clear at all :( and other stuff i am not sure about ... like why ati drivers are showing errors so far my cards its supported and running well
[13:32] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, typically just good to use to check if some hardware is failing and you want to see any messages being captured at that level, the warnings shouldn't be anything to worry about though
[13:33] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, do you plan to change the machine hostname... if not I would't worry about that warning
[13:33] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, insofar as the graphics stuff is concerned same thing if it isn't actually a problem for you wouldn't worry about it
[13:34] <wafflejock> blackangelpr, don't really see the ATI failure you're talking about anyhow though it looks like it's just a message that the signature for the driver wasn't "acceptable"
[13:37] <blackangelpr> wafflejock, it just warning message almost half way on the top but its okay appreciated XD if its nothing that will break my 14.04.1 i am happy then just upgraded to kernel 3.18.1 everything works fine except a bug with vmware so just be aware anyone that would want to upgrade
[13:37] <mtaler> hello. i am trying to use 14.04 with as the UI language and german settings for time/date, paper size etc and it doesn't seem to work very well
[13:37] <mtaler> with english as the UI language
[13:37] <White_Cat> I get this error "dpkg: error processing package udev" from apt-get

[14:36] <ijks> hi, is this the right place to ask support questions? i believe i just really f-ed up my install...
[14:36] <cfhowlett> ijks, ask.  details...
[14:36] <kahoz> i hope it is
[14:37] <kahoz> i'm need help too, i'm having problems connecting to a wifi network - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693010/ - i already tried to disable N and ipv6 but does not help
[14:38] <ijks> alright. running 14.04 + Win7. was building something from source, required libncurses. didn't work, so i gave up, tried to uninstall libncurses, removed wrong package, pressed enter like an idiot, and apt-get removed everything
[14:38] <ijks> now ubuntu doesn't even show up in grub...
[14:38] <cfhowlett> ijks, not gonna ask "how" but ... WOW!
[14:39] <ijks> yah... i think it must've been a library that everything was dependent on. guess there wasn't a fail safe against that...
[14:39] <ijks> so, is there any way to salvage my install or should i just grab my files and do a fresh install?
[14:40] <AvatarA> so now just Win7 shows up in grub menu?
[14:40] <cfhowlett> ijks, cure: boot an  ubuntu USB.  ( You DO keep one or 2 of those handy, right?)  reinstall grub.  if that fails, chroot to your ubuntu and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop    that'll get you back to your default desktop.
[14:40] <cfhowlett> !grub
[14:41] <ijks> alright, i think i have an usb lying around, thx for the help. i assume the RestoreGrub page has instructions on reinstalling?
[14:41] <cfhowlett> ijks, indeed
[14:42] <ijks> alright, thx
[14:42] <cfhowlett> ijks, by the way, if those 2 methods fail, reinstall
[14:42] <alisa2410> Привет всем!

[14:54] <wasanzy> hi
[14:55] <cfhowlett> wasanzy, ask your ubuntu questions
[14:56] <wasanzy> I have ubuntu on an external drive, actually, I just removed my drive which was running ubuntu and put it in a case, when I plug it to my laptop I see the drive alright but am not able to boot the ubuntu from the external drive
[14:56] <wasanzy> how do I do that?
[14:59] <michagogo> Hi, I'm upgrading a Precise VM (in Virtualbox) to Trusty
[15:00] <michagogo> I'm getting some warning that the graphics hardware doesn't fully support "the 'unity' desktop environment"
[15:00] <michagogo> and asking me if I want to upgrade
[15:00] <michagogo> It's saying that I may end up in a very slow environment, and that they recommend keeping "the LTS version"
[15:01] <michagogo> But doesn't 12.04 already use Unity?
[15:01] <cfhowlett> michagogo, lubuntu or xubuntu might be better solutions
[15:01] <mustmodify> How can I check whether my root account is accessible via password?
[15:02] <michagogo> mustmodify: perhaps look in /etc/shadow, see if there's a password hash for it?
[15:02] <cfhowlett> !root | mustmodify
[15:02] <mustmodify> Obviously I could reset the password and try it, but surely there's an easier way.
[15:02] <michagogo> cfhowlett: it's best not to have a password, but it's possible to set one. I think mustmodify wants to find out if that has been done.
[15:03] <mustmodify> cfhowlett: yes, I see people trying to hack my root account and I just wanted to ensure that root access via password was disabled.
[15:03] <philinux> mustmodify;~ using sudo will ask for your admin password.
[15:03] <mustmodify> oh, hunh.
[15:03] <michagogo> cfhowlett: I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu's graphics, in my experience
[15:03] <philinux> mustmodify;~ hack how?
[15:03] <somsip> mustmodify: via ssh? Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config for AllowRootLogin NO
[15:03] <michagogo> My question is, what's different between 12.04 and 14.04?
[15:03] <somsip> *PermitRootLogin - something like that
[15:03] <mustmodify> philinux: ssh
[15:04] <michagogo> It says the issue is unity not being supported, but I thought that's what 12.04 already uses.
[15:04] <somsip> mustmodify: and you really should disable password login too. Same file. man sshd_config
[15:04] <philinux> mustmodify;~ default ubuntu install has no root account. Are you aware of that
[15:04] <atrx> michagogo: several differences. i don't want to list thing
[15:05] <michagogo> atrx: I mean with this specific warning
[15:05] <michagogo> (not all differences from P to T)
[15:06] <philinux> mustmodify;~ just use a strong admin password
[15:06] <mustmodify> philinux: no, but something strange happened this morning with my web traffic, so I'm just doing a general audit of security.
[15:06] <atrx> michagogo: is your graphic card is dedicated or hybrid?
[15:07] <philinux> mustmodify;~ using sudo to say install apps elavates you to root privilege but only temporarlity
[15:07] <philinux> times out when terminal closes - think timeout is 10 mins
[15:07] <mustmodify> philinux: yeah, I get that.
[15:08] <panther__> hello
[15:08] <michagogo> atrx: It's a VM
[15:08] <panther__> i have a linux mint question. i know you guys are ubuntu helpers, but i decided to come here because no one was at the #linuxmint-help channel
[15:09] <panther__> they suck
[15:09] <panther__> ok. here it is. i performed a live install of Mint 17.1 Cinnamon
[15:09] <somsip> !mint | panther__ (compliments will not get you help on mint here)
[15:10] <panther__> So the freenode channel is not the right one! haha
[15:10] <dai_wrk> panther: try #linuxmint
[15:10] <panther__> ok, sorry to waste your time :)
[15:11] <atrx> michagogo: it can be many things. jumping version gives problem sometime.
[15:11] <michagogo> atrx: I just have one specific question, though
[15:12] <michagogo> The warning says that the graphics capabilities "don't support Unity"
[15:12] <michagogo> but Unity is what's already running
[15:14] <atrx> if i were you,i might try reinstall ubuntu-desktop and unity
[15:14] <atrx> if you use bumblebee for your optimus graphic, you should uninstall it
[15:15] <atrx> 14.04 comes with Nvidia prime drive
[15:15] <atrx> r
[15:26] <ijks> cfhowlett: boot-repair says something about SFS partitions, should i continue?
[15:26] <cfhowlett> ijks, sfs?  never seen that before so can't advise
[15:26] <ijks> ok
[15:27] <wasanzy> any help?
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> did "apt-get purge wine*"
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> now was recovering everything
[15:27] <SopaXorzTaker> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[15:28] <SopaXorzTaker> and then checked the APT's logs and wrote a script to get back the removed packages

[15:53] <Kamuela> I've got a display issue that isn't driver related as it is the detection of my laptop's screen because I have no issues with external screens or the laptop's internal on windows, but some filickering toward the screen edge or randomly bad colors
[15:54] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, how do you know it's not driver related, it could very well be a driver problem
[15:56] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: because there is no change between default drivers, vesa, and the specific proprietary intel hd4600 drivers
[15:56] <Kamuela> and external displays work exactly as expected
[15:56] <BluesKaj> i965 driver?
[15:57] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: i'm using the one that works for hd4600 from the intel page
[15:58] <MrChrisDruif> Anyone using Ubuntu GNOME and having issues with fastboot oem unlock?
[15:58] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, it's the default driver ?
[15:59] <kiavolo> ciao
[16:00] <kiavolo> !list
[16:01] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: no, it's not the default driver. it's the intel driver. but the reason i got it was to try to fix this problem from a driver perspective but there's been no change since switching
[16:01] <Alucardx85> Hello! I have a grep question:  if you manage a system with about 30 employees, three of which usernames are= "crobert", "crobert4" and "crobertW", what grep option would work to find login attempts by only "crobert" and not the other 2 roberts.  I tried : sudo grep -e crobert /var/log/secure but didn't work, does anyone know the correct flag?  thanks! :) PS I know there I can use awk, but i'm not allowed
[16:02] <popey> Alucardx85: add a space? "grep crobert\ "
[16:03] <somsip> Alucardx85: add the char that comes next in the line after the username in /var/log/secure
[16:04] <somsip> Alucardx85: or use word boundrays. \bcrobert\b IIRC
[16:05] <Pici> Alucardx85: Or search for the user's uid.
[16:05] <Alucardx85> thanks guys I'll try that
[16:05] <laserbeak4445> I would like to install bleachbit from the sourceforge website but I do not found md5sum or sha256sum to verify the binaries. Unfortunately, the version available in the official Ubuntu repo is only version 1.0 instead of the current version (1.6 on sourceforge). Would you recommend to install it from sourceforge anyway or it will be more secure for me to use the old version available in the Ubuntu repo? \
[16:05] <somsip> Alucardx85: word boundaries might not work as the suffix is a number. Well, it's something to look into eh
[16:06] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit
[16:06] <nickander> laserbeak4445: you could always compile it yourself if you're concerned about security
[16:06] <Alucardx85> ;) , I was looking into the grep man pages also
[16:06] <Kamuela> BluesKaj: because there is no change between default drivers, vesa, and the specific proprietary intel hd4600 drivers
[16:07] <elfuego> is there a way to list all the versions for the nodejs apt package? I tried apt-cache policy nodejs but its not giving me all the nodejs versions
[16:07] <elfuego> only the latest
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Kamuela, did you do any upgrades such as dist-upgrade before installing the proprietary driver?
[16:09] <lotuspsychje> elfuego: if you know the exact packagename you could try apt-cache download nodejs(version)
[16:10] <Pici> elfuego: Then that is the only one available.  Ubuntu typically does not include more than one version for a package in its repositories.
[16:14] <ijks> cfhowlett: i've been running boot-repair for about 10 minutes now, it seems stuck at "Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sdb1 (ins)."
[16:15] <cfhowlett> ijks, I've never had to use boot repair.  10 minutes and stuck seems excessive/broken ...
[16:18] <ijks> cfhowlett: i already tried reinstalling grub from the commandline but it didn't change anything, so perhaps my MBR got messed up or something...
[16:18] <ijks> i mean, grub got reinstalled successfully, but ubuntu still doesn't show up in the menu
[16:18] <cfhowlett> ijks, sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit

[16:19] <zekoZeko> hello everyone! Is there a GUI way to change passwords for users in a LDAP directory?
[16:19] <elfuego> Pici: Thanks
[16:20] <lotuspsychje> !ldap | zekoZeko
[16:20] <ijks> cfhowlett: this is also a paste generated by boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693544/
[16:21] <cfhowlett> ijks, I see that SFS is still showing on line 866.  NO IDEA what that is.   ...
[16:22] <cfhowlett> ijks, I believe you're system is fixable, but I honestly don't know how ...
[16:22] <warfaren> from my Xorg.0.log:
[16:22] <zekoZeko> lotuspsychje: that's all nice, but that page says nothing about what I asked. I'm quite able to set up LDAP client authentication and password change via PAM. I was wondering if there is a GUI way for users to change their passwords.
[16:22] <warfaren> [  1032.373] (==) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (75, 75); computed from built-in default
[16:22] <warfaren> [  1032.423] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "DPI 305x305" is not used
[16:22] <ijks> it's some kind of partition format, but it's just on my data drive iirc so i don't think that could cause the problem
[16:22] <warfaren> how do i prevent that?
[16:23] <Mathis> hey
[16:23] <warfaren> i wanted it to be 305x305...
[16:23] <Kamuela> warfaren: when you find a fix to that, would you mind flagging me in IRC? i think i have a similar problem
[16:23] <Mathis> can you suggest me a tiny webbrowser running in userspace or something?
[16:23] <warfaren> Kamuela: okay, so your problem is also that you cant get the font dpi you want?
[16:23] <Mathis> it must be only capable of delivering images
[16:23] <isantop> Mathis: Midori is pretty small.
[16:24] <lotuspsychje> Mathis: links2 also pretty nice, from terminal
[16:24] <Mathis> cool, thanks
[16:25] <Mathis> webbrowser? no... webserver
[16:25] <isantop> Mathis: ah, I like nginz
[16:25] <isantop> *nginx
[16:25] <Mathis> this one isnt that small :-/
[16:26] <zekoZeko> Mathis: define small then.
[16:26] <nickander> +1 for nginx
[16:26] <Kamuela> warfaren: not exactly, but does this help you? http://onetransistor.blogspot.com/2014/09/change-dpi-in-ubuntu.html or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration
[16:27] <zekoZeko> Mathis: and what you need from the webserver... they all run in userspace though, there was a kernel-based one (TUX i think), but I don't think that is available/relevant anymore.
[16:27] <lotuspsychje> !info nginx | Mathis tnx 2 isantop
[16:27] <Mathis> zekoZeko: as I said, it must be only able to deliver images
[16:27] <zekoZeko> Mathis: and what is small? small memory usage, small disk usage (doubtful if you need it to server images)
[16:28] <xdexter> Hello, my ubuntu is joined to a domain Samba4, however when using Firefox are required security credentials to go through squid3, you can make Firefox uses the user's credentials logged in? How do I do in Windows for example?
[16:29] <Mathis> zekoZeko: small as in features and memory and disk usage
[16:29] <ijks> cfhowlett: i just redid boot-repair but made it skip the kernel stuff, everything seems to have gone fine, let's hope it did...
[16:29] <zekoZeko> Mathis: as others said, just go with nginx, not much beats it at serving static content and it doesn't use much memory doing that.
[16:30] <Mathis> thanks
[16:30] <zekoZeko> Mathis: it's just one process, doesn't matter how many files you server at once.
[16:31] <Mathis> I think, I'll handle this fine
[16:31] <Delta706_> can someone recommend a channel with info on AddressSanitizer configuration?
[16:33] <Chealsea_Jurgens> Hi I am interested in installing virtualbox and am curious if the best way is to download via their site, synaptic, or software center?
[16:34] <kahoz> i'm having problems connecting to a wifi network - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9693010/ - i already tried to disable N and ipv6 but does not help. does anyone has an idea?
[16:34] <zekoZeko> Mathis: nginx-light package includes a basic set of modules and it's 745K installed size... I hope that's not too much :)
[16:35] <zekoZeko> Mathis: you might also want to use ppa:nginx/stable, which always has the latest version.
[16:35] <amateurbrainsurg> hi, I have a question about the software updater(14.04), i unclicked a package to update a while back, now it always shows to be updated, but the box to click is grayed out.

[16:41] <bubbasaures> AbuBadr, The wiki should get you set up.
[16:45] <warfaren> Kamuela: okay i fixed it, turns out the syntax was wrong in xorg.conf
[16:46] <warfaren> Kamuela: i'd written Option "DPI 305x305" but it was supposed to be Option "DPI" "305x305"
[16:47] <warfaren> [  4696.804] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "DPI" "305x305"
[16:47] <warfaren> [  4697.137] (**) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (305, 305); computed from "DPI" X config option
[16:47] <warfaren> as you can see, it's no longer throwing that message :)

[16:55] <AbuBadr> zekoZeko, Thank you v v v v v much
[16:56] <Langdal> Hi I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and my video card is an NVIDA Geforce GT 520M (and a built-in one on the intel cpu). After installing propriatary drivers through the System->Additional Drivers window I can log in but after I log in my screen is blank save for the background. I can open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T but the resolution is bad. Does anyone know why this is?
[16:58] <BluesKaj> Langdal, is this an optimus graphics system? seems to be
[16:58] <Langdal> BluesKaj, yes.
[16:59] <BluesKaj> !optimus
[16:59] <Langdal> Ok so I should first uninstall the drivers to regain full functionality then.
[17:01] <Notimik> Hi any one that has problems with that 14.10 unity sometimes dont lock screen and shuts it down?
[17:02] <aktx> when i do ctrl+right or ctrl+left i get 5C and 5D on my terminal
[17:03] <aktx> im not using ubuntu, some generic linux distro, and this is within tmux
[17:03] <aktx> was hoping somebody can help here, google isnt working for me~
[17:04] <BluesKaj> Langdal, this tutorial works for lot of optimus equipped laptops, http://xmodulo.com/install-configure-nvidia-optimus-driver-ubuntu.html
[17:05] <cecja> aktx: what terminal do you use? which de or wm?
[17:05] <aktx> cecja, cygwin on win8.1
[17:05] <Langdal> BluesKaj, thanks. I will follow it once I successfully uninstall the propriatary drivers so that I can actually do stuff.
[17:05] <aktx> but if i ssh into ubuntu linux env, it's okay
[17:06] <aktx> but if i ssh into some generic linux distro, i get that problem
[17:06] <moisesm> hi all
[17:06] <reisio> hi
[17:07] <aktx> hello
[17:08] <imbezol> aktx: sounds like the generic linux distro doesn't know how to deal with your terminal type while ubuntu does
[17:08] <aktx> imbezol, okay, how would i change that? you know what setting i can change?
[17:08] <imbezol> aktx: if you type echo $TERM within your cygwin term what do you get?
[17:09] <aktx> cygwin term type is set to xterm-256color
[17:09] <imbezol> aktx: if you type export TERM=xterm
[17:09] <imbezol> aktx: then ssh in again, does it work better?
[17:10] <Chealsea_Jurgens> hi i installed virtualbox on ubuntu and the highest my screen resolution can go is 1024x768. What do i need to do to get it to it's proper 1920x1080?
[17:10] <aktx> imbezol, no, i still get those 5C and 5D chars
[17:11] <imbezol> aktx: on the generic linux box, do you see xterm in /usr/share/terminfo/x/ ?
[17:12] <dai_wrk> Chealsea_Jurgens: did you install the virtualbox guest additions?
[17:12] <aktx> imbezol, yeah, i see "xterm" and "xterm+256color", there's lots of stuff in there
[17:13] <Chealsea_Jurgens> don't think so, i just downloaded virtualbox from the software center. how can i tell?
[17:13] <reisio> Chealsea_Jurgens: if you haven't, you haven't
[17:13] <aktx> imbezol, http://i.imgur.com/PF5ppEW.png
[17:14] <dai_wrk> Chealsea_Jurgens: i think i am misunderstanding you, the guest additions get installed inside the guest OS not the host OS
[17:14] <reisio> ...but only if you personally install them
[17:14] <Chealsea_Jurgens> oh ok, would i download them from the internet then? not software manager on the guest os?
[17:15] <reisio> Chealsea_Jurgens: probably an item in vbox's menu
[17:15] <dai_wrk> when you run the guest OS got to the vbox "Devices" menu
[17:15] <imbezol> aktx: and when you're sshed in is your TERM set to xterm? or cygwin?
[17:15] <Chealsea_Jurgens> ok, makes sense. my mistake as i thought you were referencing the extension pack, not guest addition
[17:16] <dai_wrk> it's listed as "Insert Guest Additions DVD Image", clicking that mounts it as a disc in the guest
[17:16] <aktx> imbezol, it's set to xterm
[17:16] <dai_wrk> there are prerequisites to a successful install though, you will have to google "vbox guest additions <guest OS>" to get instructions
[17:17] <aktx> >echo $TERM
[17:17] <aktx> xterm
[17:17] <aktx> and this is before and after i ssh
[17:17] <aktx> two separate boxes (obviously)
[17:17] <Chealsea_Jurgens> thanks, i was able to download it but seems to have been an issue. i will restart and see
[17:17] <imbezol> aktx: i'm not sure then.. sorry
[17:18] <imbezol> aktx: you could try editting your .inputrc but i'll leave the how to you and google
[17:18] <aktx> imbezol, no problem thanks
[17:18] <aktx> okay cool, thx for the pointer
[17:19] <flexus> Chealsea_Jurgens, Vbox and guest additions have to be same version number
[17:20] <aktx> imbezol, nice! that works, i copied the ubuntu's /etc/inputrc into the generic linux distro's /etc/inputrc
[17:20] <Chealsea_Jurgens> flexus: they appear to be the same version
[17:20] <aktx> never knew about inputrc was that important~
[17:20] <imbezol> great
[17:20] <moisesm> anyone knows why the keyboard map can lose some combinations randomly?
[17:22] <Lachezar> Hey all. After migrating to Xubuntu 14.10 NetworkManager no longer connects to connections that are not '... all users...'. Is this Xubuntu only problem? Any way to fix that?
[17:22] <flexus> Chealsea_Jurgens, if you installed from ubuntu repo install virtualbox-guest-dkms
[17:22] <speram> !list
[17:22] <imbezol> Lachezar: i've found that problem too. i think you need to read it as "allow system to connect"
[17:23] <Lachezar> imbezol: I do not want the system to connect... Regression?
[17:23] <imbezol> Lachezar: it's wherever you need a password because if you don't select that it stores the password in kwallet which "system" can't access
[17:23] <Lachezar> imbezol: no kwallet. Xubuntu!
[17:24] <Lachezar> imbezol: and yes, I want it *that* way: passwords are not available until I log on.
[17:24] <imbezol> Lachezar: maybe there's an equivalent?
[17:24] <Lachezar> imbezol: equivalent to kwallet? Dunno.
[17:24] <imbezol> Lachezar: anyways.. the info i found indicated it won't connect automatically unless it's checked and that does seem to be the case
[17:25] <yogeshp> I am on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l. And want to start sshd on port 443.
[17:25] <imbezol> Lachezar: must be a bug report for it and if not there should be
[17:25] <hggdh> imbezol: probably seahorse
[17:26] <yogeshp> also added Port 443 in sshd_config
[17:26] <yogeshp> and then restarted the service but some how could not able to connect using ssh -p 443
[17:27]  * Lachezar bids everyone good night.
[17:28] <imbezol> yogeshp: or iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 22
[17:28] <imbezol> yogeshp: and leave sshd alone
[17:29] <yogeshp> imbezol: ooh; this one looks great
[17:29] <yogeshp> imbezol: will try out.
[17:34] <jharm> anyone seen thursty_lark
[17:38] <rkhshm> I've written a driver with a loadable module but even after i load the Driver I'm not able to see the parameters file in /sys at all
[17:38] <rkhshm> The same driver is working fine on another Linux box
[17:39] <rkhshm> Any ideas guys
[17:40] <yogeshp> imbezol: I did install the rule but some how ssh -p 443 didn't work
[17:40] <Mandeep_Singh> rkhshm, what is this driver for?
[17:41] <yogeshp> imbezol: behaviour is same as port 443 in sshd_config
[17:41] <auzerus> irc botnet alert (08/jan/2015): http://pastebin.com/SPMkyZ4w    check your systems. thank you
[17:41] <rkhshm> This is a custom driver to detect drives
[17:41] <IdleOne> auzerus: thanks for spamming the channel
[17:42] <auzerus> IdleOne, it's not spam,ok?
[17:42] <IdleOne> not ok
[17:42] <auzerus> you should thank me instead of this
[17:42] <IdleOne> I did thank you
[17:42] <auzerus> you called it 'spam'. call 'spam' your friend
[17:43] <diablomarcus> hey all, I'm having some trouble with my macbook pro's volume keys. Would anyone be able to assist?
[17:43] <the_tricky> guys, what's the best way to backup the whole system?
[17:44] <compdoc>  I like backintime
[17:44] <reisio> the_tricky: 1:1?, incremental?
[17:44] <nickander> zip /
[17:44] <yassy> facebook
[17:44] <compdoc> or bacula, if you dont mind spending weeks to learn it
[17:44] <nickander> monolithic image with clonezilla
[17:44] <yassy> facebook
[17:44] <compdoc> yeah, good idea to clone your drives every few months
[17:44] <yogeshp> does aws ubuntu have some extra security checks to avoid 443 sshd?
[17:45] <reisio> to avoid wha?
[17:46] <yogeshp> to avoid connecting to 443 for ssh
[17:47] <Jeruvy> 443 is for SSL not SSH.
[17:47] <yogeshp> I wanted to access ssh from office network. 22 is banned from my office and needs to connect it only through 443
[17:47] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: it can be used for ssh
[17:47] <Jeruvy> you can use any port for ssh but won't it conflict?
[17:47] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: actually nothing is running on 443
[17:48] <Jeruvy> then you are good
[17:48] <yogeshp> no https
[17:48] <yogeshp> actually there is something called as slh
[17:48] <Jeruvy> sorry are we having a discussion?
[17:48] <yogeshp> http://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh.shtml
[17:48] <yogeshp> was searching for the link.
[17:49] <diablomarcus> Jeruvy, I use pagekite to do this
[17:49] <Jeruvy> I don't care :)  Just making sure your not confusing SSH with SSL, GLTY
[17:49] <rkhshm> Any idea why that may happen
[17:49] <yogeshp> Jeruvy: sure.
[17:50] <Mackseraner> hi, im trying to use rsync with ansible to deploy an app but im having trouble preventing rsync from deleting files that im excluding. i thought that rsync would only delete excluded files with --delete-excluded but it is also deleting them with --delete and --delete-after, even if they exist in the source directory
[17:50] <Mackseraner> can anybody help me with this=
[17:51] <Mackseraner> ?
[17:51] <imbezol> yogeshp: might need to do a sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
[17:51] <imbezol> yogeshp: for nat to work
[17:52] <imbezol> yogeshp: if that makes it work set it permanently in /etc/sysctl.conf
[17:52] <imbezol> Mackseraner: that likely means your exclude is not matching them correctly
[17:52] <yogeshp> imbezol: thanks a lot. will try that out.
[17:53] <Mackseraner> imbezol thanks! the weird thing is, it also deletes these directories if they exist in the source folder
[17:54] <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 if I apply the same permissions?
[17:54] <reisio> Guest4905: no, but you could try it
[17:54] <reisio> Guest4905: FWIW, Deluge is quite a lot like µTorrent, only actually open source and not tracking you :)
[17:55] <SuperLag> Wow. Just did back-to-back upgrades - no issues to speak of. 13.10 -> 14.04 -> 14.10

[17:55] <the_tricky> guys, by the way what's in backintime-notify?
[17:55] <imbezol> Guest4905: do a "dpkg -L utorrent" to see what's included in the installed version
[17:55] <Guest4905> reisio does deluge have a web interface?
[17:55] <Guest4905> my utorrent runs on a headless server
[17:55] <reisio> Guest4905: yes, actually it has what is widely regarded as the best, IIRC
[17:56] <reisio> a lot of people use it just for that
[17:56] <Guest4905> hrm can i get it with apt-get?
[17:56] <reisio> yes
[17:56] <reisio> it's open source, so it's in the repos
[17:56] <aktx> imbezol, looks like that didnt work since it doesnt play nice with tmux
[17:56] <Guest4905> heh i'm gonna check it out
[17:56] <Guest4905> im running a 3 yea rold utorrentd
[17:56] <reisio> deluge-webui, probs
[17:56] <reisio> in universe
[17:56] <aktx> i get this weird behavior with tmux, where it sometimes recognizes if i do "ctrl+arrow key"
[17:57] <aktx> like if i rapidly press that sequence, then sometimes tmux will recognize it
[17:57] <aktx> but anyways, the ~/.inputrc did prevent the characters from being outputted
[17:57] <imbezol> aktx: you could also use a graphic terminal in cygwin
[17:57] <imbezol> aktx: i find the default one sucks
[17:57] <aktx> hmm
[17:57] <aktx> rly? i didnt know cygwin had a graphical term
[17:57] <Guest4905> holy moly deluge requires 37 packages to be installed lol
[17:58] <reisio> Guest4905: they're little python packages
[17:58] <reisio> modularity, it's what's for dinner
[17:58] <imbezol> aktx: you can use xterm, rxvt, whatever you want
[17:58] <reisio> Guest4905: look at the file size, should be smallish
[17:58] <SuperLag> reisio: Trying to figure out how to type Emoji characters on Ubuntu. I installed ttf-ancient-fonts. Once you've done that, how do you actually type the emoji characters, though?
[17:58] <imbezol> aktx: mintty i think is what i used most
[17:58] <imbezol> aktx: it's in the cygwin repo
[17:58] <reisio> SuperLag: I doubt ancient fonts has those chars
[17:58] <reisio> SuperLag: you probably want a cjk font, or one of the all encompassing ones
[17:58] <aktx> gotcha
[17:58] <aktx> ill try out mintty, thx!
[17:58] <Guest4905> reisio its 80mb total
[17:59] <imbezol> aktx: i think by default you get a glorified windows command prompt which has poor terminal support
[17:59] <reisio> SuperLag: after that, you could use an IME, or learn some unicode chars, for example CTRL+SHIFT+u, 03d5, ENTER, produces 'ϕ' (via a GTK+ app)
[17:59] <reisio> Guest4905: tiny
[17:59] <reisio> lot of that is probably iconography
[18:00] <Guest4905> damn tons of 404s
[18:01] <xdexter> Hello, my ubuntu is joined to a domain Samba4, however when using Firefox are required security credentials to go through squid3, you can make Firefox uses the user's credentials logged in? How do I do in Windows for example?
[18:02] <Guest4905> reisio so i think my system is to out of date to properly fetch packages
[18:02] <reisio> mmm, maybe
[18:02] <aktx> nope, i still see the problem with mintty
[18:02] <aktx> looks just like cygwin except with a different icon~
[18:03] <julian-delphiki> xdexter: I think you can change a firefox setting to do that. http://www.linuxschools.com/karoshi/documentation/wiki/index.php?title=Samba4_Testing#Firefox seems to point to some config keys
[18:04] <Guest4905> heh I am 12.2 still reisio
[18:04] <jhutchins> SuperLag: You need an emoji input utility.
[18:04] <jhutchins> SuperLag: I don't know what the current ones are.
[18:04] <imbezol> aktx: try rxvt
[18:05] <imbezol> aktx: or urxvt.. or something else :)
[18:05] <pip__> when booting multiple linux OSs do I have to install grub in each one to boot after I've selected an OS from grub instaled on MBR?
[18:05] <Guest4905> 21.10 i mean
[18:05] <pip__> if that makes sense?
[18:05] <Guest4905> 12.10***
[18:05] <jhutchins> SuperLag: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/11/see-install-use-emoji-symbols-ubuntu-linux
[18:06] <nosleep77> hi guys, whats the channel for ubuntu cloud (openstack)?
[18:06] <reisio> nosleep77: /msg alis list *ubunt*cloud*
[18:06] <reisio> s/cloud/stack/, etc.
[18:06] <jhutchins> pip__: Yes, you need internal grub components as well as the initial menu.  update-grub should detect the other installs.
[18:06] <nosleep77> thanks
[18:07] <aktx> thx, ill give it a try
[18:07] <Guest4905> is 12.10 still able to retrieve packages with apt-get anyone know?
[18:07] <pip__> okay, that should be fairly simple, thanks very much
[18:07] <xdexter> julian-delphiki, Right, however I intend to make this work for all domains, for acting as the user is already logged in as the AD policies, and squid manage permissions through it, you know?
[18:08] <julian-delphiki> I actually detest proxies that all users traffic go through, so no, I don't understand xdexter ;)
[18:08] <yogeshp> imbezol: unfortunetly things didn't work out. For ec2 / Aws things are different I guess. found a interesting link http://alestic.com/2010/12/ec2-ssh-port-80
[18:08] <yogeshp> imbezol: thanks any ways.
[18:10] <Troy^> I'm getting an unable to resolve host server when running apt-get
[18:10] <AG_Clinton> ./etc/resolv.conf
[18:10] <xdexter> julian-delphiki, ok, thanks
[18:13] <nishanth_> i am having an issue with upgrading http://pastebin.com/UqaErNa0
[18:13] <nishanth_> anyone know a fix
[18:16] <rtyuio> hi there
[18:16] <Langdal> I am "installing" a program that is not in the repository (so I'm building it from sources). Is there a convention regarding where I should put such programs in the file system?
[18:16] <rtyuio> by mistake i have done a rm -rvf * on  /etc/mail
[18:16] <rtyuio> i would like rescue all files how to possible ?
[18:17] <theadmin> Langdal: Usually the programm will come with a Makefile.
[18:17] <theadmin> Langdal: If so, you can usually run "sudo checkinstall" to install this program, after running "make".
[18:17] <imbezol> Langdal: generally you'd set your prefix to /usr/local
[18:20] <rtyuio> possible ?
[18:20] <rtyuio> i  have done an rm -rvf * on /etc/mail
[18:20] <rtyuio> is it possible to rescue all files there ?
[18:22] <nishanth_> any help with http://pastebin.com/UqaErNa0
[18:23] <DeaDSouL> hi, how to view the manually installed packages in the last week or all the manually installed packages ?

[18:33] <max> hi
[18:34] <chaospsychex> Hi, I'm installing ubuntu 14.04. As part of post-installation configuration. I would like to remove Unity and install something less bloated, such as openbox. How would I go about stripping Unity from the installation using APT ?
[18:34] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Well, you should have picked a version of Ubuntu without Unity, is way easier that way.
[18:34] <theadmin> !purelxde
[18:35] <theadmin> chaospsychex: ^ please see that. LXDE is a super-lightweight Openbox-based desktop
[18:35] <theadmin> chaospsychex: That guide will let you remove Unity and install LXDE. Next time, just get Lubuntu, though.
[18:36] <chaospsychex> theadmin, and if I don't want to install LXDE? I want to REMOVE the Unity desktop environment...
[18:37] <chaospsychex> openbox is a window manager, not a desktop environment such as lxde is....
[18:37] <theadmin> chaospsychex: True. If you just want to use Openbox on it's own, well...
[18:37] <theadmin> Bah, that guide is out of date.
[18:37] <chaospsychex> theadmin, I'd like to strip the desktop environment from the installation
[18:38] <theadmin> chaospsychex: I understand.
[18:38] <chaospsychex> :-)
[18:38] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Wait, do you mean you want to install Ubuntu without a desktop environment, or do you want to remove Unity from an existing install?
[18:38] <chaospsychex> theadmin, I'd like to remove Unity from an existing install.
[18:39] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Either way, do: sudo apt-get remove nautilus gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-termina* gnome-pane* gnome-applet* gnome-bluetooth gnome-desktop* gnome-sessio* gnome-user* gnome-shell-common compiz compiz* unity unity* hud zeitgeist zeitgeist* python-zeitgeist libzeitgeist* activity-log-manager-common gnome-control-center gnome-screenshot overlay-scrollba* && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-community-wallpapers && sudo
[18:39] <theadmin> apt-get autoremove
[18:39] <theadmin> Bah, too long.
[18:39] <theadmin> sudo apt-get remove nautilus gnome-power-manager gnome-screensaver gnome-termina* gnome-pane* gnome-applet* gnome-bluetooth gnome-desktop* gnome-sessio* gnome-user* gnome-shell-common compiz compiz* unity unity* hud zeitgeist zeitgeist* python-zeitgeist libzeitgeist* activity-log-manager-common gnome-control-center gnome-screenshot overlay-scrollba* && sudo apt-get install xubuntu-community-wallpapers && sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:39] <theadmin> There.
[18:39] <cecja> chaospsychex: sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop
[18:39] <theadmin> cecja: That does nothing, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage.
[18:39] <chaospsychex> theadmin, Would I have to re-download an iso to install ubuntu without a desktop environment or is there a way to pass an arg from install ?
[18:40] <theadmin> chaospsychex: Well, the command I gave above will remove Unity.
[18:40] <chaospsychex> theadmin, ok
[18:40] <theadmin> chaospsychex: The next time, I suggest you use the Network Install image. It is very small (30MB) and allows a ton of customisation over what exactly will be installed.
[18:40] <cecja> theadmin: you are totally right but he should remove it when he removes everything else :)
[18:41] <Th34rchitekt> also 'apt-get autoremove' after that
[18:42] <chaospsychex> i'll just leave unity
[18:44] <ZxoR> ס
[18:46] <CluelessPerson> hey guys, I just installed ubuntu server 14.10 and it only boots to a black screen after the boot menu.
[18:46] <CluelessPerson> Checking disk for defects just causes the monitor to flash white, what te fuck
[18:47] <DeaDSouL> how to view all the manually installed packages ?
[18:47] <chaospsychex> press CTRL-ALT-F1, do you see a login prompt
[18:47] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, or just ALT+F1
[18:48] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: neither seems to do anything
[18:48] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: it's just a regular workstation computer from work, nothing special about it, all generic really.
[18:48] <CluelessPerson> intell
[18:48] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, reboot it and on the GRUB screen press TAB and hit backspace to remove the 'splash --quiet' args and boot
[18:50] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: hittnig tab or backspace doesn't seem to do anything.
[18:50] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: I managed to get into grub command line though
[18:51] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, when you turn the machine on, can you see the grub menu ? hit the down-arrow key to stop the auto-selection timer
[18:51] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, tell me when your're there
[18:51] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: yes
[18:51] <CluelessPerson> I'm there
[18:51] <chaospsychex> on the top option hit the TAB key
[18:51] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: options are 'e' to edit comamnds, or 'c' for command line
[18:51] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, press e
[18:52] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: got it
[18:52] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, do you see quiet --splash at the end ?
[18:52] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: um, I don't see any splash quiet aruments.
[18:52] <CluelessPerson> recordfail, load_video, gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode,  seem most relavent to my predicament
[18:53] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: wait, there is quiet splash, my bad
[18:53] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: at the end, ro  quiet splash $vt\_handoff
[18:53] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, hit the BACKSPACE key to remove those two args and press ENTER to boot. Note any errors or FAIL
[18:53] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, just quiet, splash!!!!
[18:54] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: sorry, need to make sure I correctly understand
[18:54] <CluelessPerson> remove what exactly?  quiet?  or both
[18:54] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: ^
[18:54] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, quiet AND splash
[18:54] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: and leave ro and $vt ?
[18:54] <chaospsychex> the dashes too
[18:54] <chaospsychex> yes
[18:55] <chaospsychex> what is '$vt_handoff' ?
[18:55] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: okay, what next?
[18:55] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: it's not obvious how to boot from htere, I think it's F10?
[18:55] <chaospsychex> press enter key
[18:56] <LoRez> how does one set up a wireless network connection in ubuntu without network-manager?
[18:56] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex:  Now it's not all black  "waiting for network configuration"
[18:56] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, ok, pay special attention to the output
[18:56]  * CluelessPerson reconnects the network cable to the wall  chaospsychex 
[18:57] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: I'm at a login now, wtf
[18:57] <CluelessPerson> didn't witness any errors
[18:57] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, lol so now it's at the login ? GUI or terminal ?
[18:57] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: yes
[18:57] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, GUI or terminal ?
[18:57] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex:   Beforehand when it was stuck at black screen, the process what  Grub->restart->black screen
[18:58] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: this time it did  Grub->sometext->restart->terminal
[18:58] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, so login
[18:58] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: error,  "failed to start unit user@1000.service: Unknown unit: user@1000.service
[18:59] <chaospsychex> login as root
[19:00] <Langdal> In ubuntu (and linux in general), what kind of files are files such as "gcc", "sudo", "gedit" etc. Are the executables, scripts or what? I have a program that I run by typing ProgramName.sh, but I want to shorten this by just typing ProgramName.
[19:01] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: I'm in
[19:01] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: well, my user IS root
[19:01] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, type this. dmesg > dmesg.txt
[19:01] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: or, should have root access, I hadn't set a root password yet
[19:02] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, have you ran that cmd ?
[19:02] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: will it work under my normal user?  I just hadn't setup root account yet.
[19:03] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, ye
[19:03] <chaospsychex> *yes
[19:03] <Th34rchitekt> Langdal: mv directory/filename /usr/bin/filenamewithout".sh"
[19:03] <Th34rchitekt> also add #!/bin/bash at the beggining of the file if there isn't any
[19:03] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: ran it, have a file full of text now.
[19:04] <Th34rchitekt> or link it /usr/bin/filename to directory/filename.sh
[19:04] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, paste it to pastie.org and give me the link so i can look at it
[19:05] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: There's no way to copy it over at the moment.  I'll see if I can get SSH up to do that.  I'm operating on my limited work network
[19:05] <chaospsychex> oh
[19:06] <garrettkajmowicz> Test
[19:06] <Langdal> Th34rchitekt, how do I make filename run filename.sh? The option to just rename it to filenamewithsh worked, but I want to have both for compatability reasons.
[19:06] <Langdal> compatibility
[19:06] <Langdal> *
[19:08] <Th34rchitekt> ln -s directoryofyourfile/filename.sh /usr/bin/whateveryouwanttotypetorunit
[19:08] <Th34rchitekt> Langdal
[19:08] <Langdal> Yeah I'm reading
[19:09] <Langdal> Oh ok I just create a link
[19:09] <Langdal> fine
[19:09] <Langdal> So sudo and gedit in /usr/bin are links?
[19:10] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: I probably have to install a root certificate to access it on the work network.
[19:13] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: sigh, it's not even mounting my usb drive
[19:13] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, lol o.0
[19:13] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, let me help you mount the usb drive
[19:14] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, type 'lsblk' and note the usb drive
[19:15] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: I don't see it.
[19:15] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, type 'blkid'
[19:15] <CluelessPerson> nothign printed
[19:15] <CluelessPerson> didn't effect previous output eitehr
[19:15] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, what version of ubuntu did you install
[19:16] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, the usb drive should be dev/sdcx or dev/sdbx
[19:17] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: 14.10
[19:17] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, type blkid
[19:17] <chaospsychex> without the quotes
[19:17] <chaospsychex> it should be the one with TYPE="FAT32"
[19:18] <pantato> I have two conflicting opinions. Someone telling me I just have to add a line to grub to enable HPET, and another telling me I have to recompile the kernel
[19:18] <pantato> to enable HPET
[19:18] <pantato> who is right?
[19:19] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: BOOM, it's on the network now, I have putty access
[19:19] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex: sorry, what do you need now?
[19:20] <OerHeks> pantato, i told you to add clocksource=hpet to grub , see http://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=10492.0
[19:20] <OerHeks> no need to recompile a kernel, where do you read that?
[19:20] <pantato> OerHeks: it didn't work for me. I'm still not getting the performance that I need
[19:20] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, ?
[19:21] <pantato> are there any other adjustments I need to make? I'm trying to run a game server at 1000 fps
[19:21] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex:   I established network access to the server, I'm able to ssh in
[19:21] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex:   also, the usb drive is showing up now.
[19:21] <pantato> and yes, I did run update-grub
[19:21] <Sbur> Is there a way to trace back my internet communication (browser) from last night?  Btw, I have 2 versions of Ubuntu and one of Ubuntu Studio.  I also told Firefox to not remember history
[19:22] <CluelessPerson> Sbur: cookies, maybe, but unlikely, unless you otherwise log network usage
[19:22] <Sbur> $500 is at stake for me
[19:22] <pantato> OerHeks:
[19:23] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: I know about things like ping, but that probably won't help.  I am thinking of ... like dmesg for browser use
[19:23] <CluelessPerson> Sbur: $500 at stake how, I think it's unlikely to recover, but we may be able to discuss other options.
[19:23] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: I need to recover usage from last night
[19:23] <cecja> Sbur: that does not exist :/ does your router log?
[19:24] <Sbur> cecja: How do I look into that option?
[19:24] <AppleForever> Hi Guys
[19:24] <cecja> Sbur: which router do you have?
[19:24] <Sbur> AppleForever: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
[19:24] <AppleForever> How does one install the latest Ubuntu natively on a Mac? Is it still possible
[19:24] <AppleForever> Thanks Sbur
[19:24] <Sbur> cecja: I use a Belgian ISP ... called VOO
[19:25] <CluelessPerson> Sbur: why exactly, what in particular do you need?
[19:25] <Sbur> Sbur: It has a modem and a decoder for the tv
[19:25] <jhutchins> !mac
[19:25] <CluelessPerson> chaospsychex:   sorry, where were we?  I have ssh access now to the server.
[19:25] <jhutchins> AppleForever: I know they're well supported in Dbian.
[19:26] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: I bought airline tickets last night.  I am convinced that I asked for tickets in May, but what I got was airline tickets for a flight tomorrow
[19:26] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: In Europe your ISP has to keep logs for 30 or 90 days, i don't remember, ask them if they can provide you logs for your IP
[19:26] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: but it's domains only
[19:27] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: Worth a try, but could that help me .... see what I asked for ... if I asked for a May flight or not?
[19:27] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: i don't think so, they keep only domain names, no GET/POST requests or anything like that
[19:28] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: That's the deal.  If I can prove that I bought a flight for May, I won't have to pay $500
[19:28] <pantato> OerHeks: I also made sure that it's enabled in the BIOS
[19:28] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: can I do get/post requests on my computer?
[19:29] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: But there are no equivalent to dmesg for GETPOST?
[19:29] <CluelessPerson> Sbur: so why do you need the history for that?
[19:29] <OerHeks> pantato, what does this say? "  grep hpet /proc/timer_list  "  If this does not display "Clock Event Device: hpet", then try hpet=force > http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_reduce_power_consumption
[19:30] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: If I find proof that I asked for a flight in May, I could prove to the travel agent site here in Europe that I asked for May and not tomorrow.
[19:30] <pantato> OerHeks: it does display that.
[19:31] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: and save myself $500 in penalties
[19:31] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: GET/POST are HTTP's request, unless you log your network there's no way to check it without browser history afaik
[19:31] <pantato> OerHeks: do I potentially have to make further adjustments to get the performance I'm looking for?
[19:31] <OerHeks> pantato, not that i know, did you try hpet=force?
[19:31] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: and what if the format of a getpost command?
[19:32] <pantato> OerHeks: yes
[19:32] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: it's not a command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GET_%28HTTP%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_%28HTTP%29
[19:32] <pantato> OerHeks: I'm trying to run a CS 1.6 game server at 1000 fps. My AMD 8350 shouldn't be able to do it.
[19:33] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: they're used to transfer data from client to server
[19:33] <OerHeks> pantato, then i am out of ideas, maybe someone else in this channel?
[19:33] <Sbur> Th34rchitekt: If I am a simple user, those things are useless?
[19:33] <CluelessPerson> Sbur: I'd call the bank and explain that they're charging you for services not rendered.
[19:33] <pantato> should be able to *
[19:34] <Th34rchitekt> Sbur: Yes.
[19:34] <aoa_> what is means this error "ssh: Could not resolve hostname" . i go to #ssh but don't anybody online there .
[19:34] <pantato> OerHeks: Do you know of any other function that would enable such a thing?
[19:34] <Sbur> CluelessPerson: Th34rchitekt: Sing along with me ..."SH.... aving cream, be nice and clean, shave every day and your .... "
[19:35] <jamie___> i am having problems resolving dependencies
[19:35] <Sbur> jamie___: What ubuntu are you using?
[19:35] <jamie___> 14:10
[19:35] <Th34rchitekt> and <cut>your</cut> log everything and keep browser history
[19:36] <k1l> jamie___: please pastbin the whole terminal output
[19:36] <Sbur> jamie___: What kind of problems with dependdencies
[19:37] <chaospsychex> CluelessPerson, i want you to paste the output of dmesg.txt to pastie.org
[19:37] <jamie___> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9694518/
[19:38] <Th34rchitekt> jamie___: apt-get install -f
[19:38] <k1l> jamie___: some 3rd party repos or PPA active?
[19:38] <jamie___> I'm doing this via .deb package not terminal
[19:39] <jamie___> i can switch though
[19:39] <k1l> jamie___: what are you trying to install then=
[19:39] <k1l> ?
[19:39] <dspstv_> i have unmet deps in 14.04 with this:
[19:39] <dspstv_> libgl1-mesa-dev : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx (= 10.1.0-4ubuntu5) but 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1 is installed.
[19:40] <jamie___> ive been trying to get a hold of a stunt rally so i can see if i can manage to copy the renderer
[19:40] <dspstv_> anyone could help me understand what to do?
[19:40] <dspstv_> if i try to remove it, it will list 500+ packages that will be removed along
[19:41] <dannymiche> Whats the recommended to change font sizes on 14.xx?
[19:42] <k1l> dspstv_: "apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dev"
[19:42] <k1l> dspstv_: in a pastebin please
[19:42] <dspstv_> oke, one min k1l
[19:42] <dspstv_> thankx btw
[19:42] <k1l> jamie___: so what are you trying to do there?
[19:43] <jamie___> im just tring to install stunt rally, not that imortant could use three.js if not able to meet them in 14.10
[19:44] <dspstv_> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9694571/
[19:44] <skypce> why ubuntu 12.04 has not --restart option in gnome-session? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/gnome-session-quit.1.html
[19:46] <k1l> dspstv_: what are you trying to install there in the first place?
[19:46] <Gregor3000> jamie___: use a PPA http://www.playdeb.net/app/StuntRally
[19:47] <daynaskully> {Q} is there a way to downgrade the new cams to the old 1.x firmware? we just bought 50 of them since our originals worked fine with our system; now they dont
[19:47] <daynaskully> oops wrong chan
[19:47] <dspstv_> k1l:  i need this libgl1-mesa-dev
[19:48] <Gregor3000> jamie___: just add the link to your software sources in software center, update the software center and stunt rally should appear
[19:48] <k1l> dspstv_: you can have libgl1-mesa-dev. but the thing you want to install in the first place demands an odd version of it. so what is it?
[19:48] <jamie___> Gregor3000: that is what i was using when it returned unmet dependencies
[19:48] <Gregor3000> you didn't use the PPA. PPA would resolve dependencies
[19:48] <Gregor3000> you used a .deb file right?
[19:48] <jamie___> yea
[19:48] <Gregor3000> in that case you need to use dpkg
[19:48] <dspstv_> k1l: is this: http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/fosphor
[19:49] <jamie___> Gregor3000: if the ppa is easier i will use that
[19:50] <Gregor3000> click games on their website then lcick Click here to learn how to install games from PlayDeb
[19:50] <Gregor3000> follow the instructions.
[19:50] <Gregor3000> once you add PPA and update all those games will appear in software center ;-)
[19:50] <k1l> dspstv_: "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev"
[19:50] <jamie___> Gregor3000: where exactly woud i add that from?
[19:51] <Gregor3000> uf i use Kubutnu it's a bit different. but you see those link udner number two? mark first link copy it and paste it into terminal
[19:51] <Gregor3000> do the same with second.
[19:52] <Gregor3000> and then same with what is under number 4.
[19:52] <fsk> hello world
[19:52] <dspstv_> k1l: done with that.. i get this:
[19:52] <dspstv_> The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libgl1-mesa-dev : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx (= 10.1.0-4ubuntu5) but 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.1 is installed.
[19:52] <Gregor3000> otherwise there should be some settings in software center where you can add software sources
[19:53] <Gregor3000> Kubuntu uses Muon  which is a bit different
[19:53] <Gregor3000> ah here is is: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[19:53] <CluelessPerson> wtf
[19:53] <CluelessPerson> Test Connection -> "Connection Parameters are correct"  OK
[19:54] <CluelessPerson> Connec to MySql Server... and... DENIED?
[19:54] <CluelessPerson> wtf
[19:54] <k1l> dspstv_: please show a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" and "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" in a pastebin
[19:54] <CluelessPerson> Access Denied for user 'root'@'my_host'
[19:55] <k1l> CluelessPerson: root login at ssh on an ubuntu server?
[19:55] <jamie___> Gregor3000:  I have the apt line addition  for repository and app store, where do i find the apt line for it?
[19:55] <bekks> CluelessPerson: Connect from localhost using root@localhost
[19:56] <Gregor3000> apt line addition for repository i guess.
[19:56] <dspstv_> k1l:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9694628/
[19:57] <jamie___> Gregor3000:  i have where to enter it, where do i find the apt line?
[19:57] <Gregor3000> wait where are you now? in software center addint repository line?
[19:57] <Gregor3000> deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu utopic-getdeb games
[20:00] <jamie___> got it already
[20:00] <jamie___> just need to restart the app store and try again
[20:00] <jamie___> restart the software center i mean.....
[20:01] <k1l> dspstv_: hmm. i dont know where the package is called that wants to get the odd version
[20:01] <jamie___> Gregor3000: should probably do the data packages first?
[20:01] <Gregor3000> i have an old computer  and i am on xp now but i am starting up xubuntu in vbox cause i forgot exactly how the center looks like :-)
[20:01] <k1l> dspstv_: looking in packages.ubuntu.com seems the packages are right. so anywhere on your system gets something wrong
[20:02] <dspstv_> uhmm k1l
[20:02] <jamie___> Gregor3000: thanks, i already added it and have it available on the software center, there are for options now though so i was going to install the data package first and the the one with debugging
[20:03] <Gregor3000> ah so you succeded in adding it
[20:04] <jamie___> yes, just hoping it dosent fail.... the software center keeps dimming in and out..... :/
[20:04] <nanowrimo> hi
[20:04] <aktx> hi, when i ssh into my generic linux box (not ubuntu), i get key characters insered into terminal whenever i try ctrl+arrow
[20:04] <aktx> like crtl+rightarrow puts "5C" into the terminal line
[20:04] <k1l> dspstv_: wait, i think i got it
[20:04] <k1l> dspstv_: is this a desktop?
[20:04] <aktx> if i enable 8-bit mode, i get something like ";[5C"
[20:04] <aktx> now ubuntu works fine, any ideas why this happens on a generic barebones linux box?
[20:05] <aktx> im using xterm-256color
[20:05] <Gregor3000> jamie___: do you have an older PC?
[20:05] <Igramul> I have a strange phenomena: When I try to remove sylpheed, apt-get states that it is going to remove lubuntu-desktop along with it.
[20:05] <dspstv_> k1l: is a laptop but i downloaded ubuntu desktop amd64
[20:05] <nanowrimo> pulseaudio keeps crashing, can anyone recommend a different distro that's more stable than ubuntu
[20:05] <jamie___> Gregor3000: no where near
[20:05] <dspstv_> if that counts
[20:05] <theadmin> Igramul: That's normal and it's safe.
[20:05] <theadmin> Igramul: lubuntu-desktop doesn't actually do anything.
[20:05] <Gregor3000> jamie___: ah ok good. why would software center fade in and out?!
[20:05] <aktx> correction, it's "1;5C"
[20:05] <Igramul> theadmin: thanks
[20:05] <theadmin> It just pulls in all the software in a default install and that's it
[20:05] <k1l> dspstv_: then go to systemsettings->software and updates -> 3rd tab and check the box with updates.
[20:05] <imbezol> aktx: considering you're sshing from cygwin to a non-ubuntu box, it's not really an ubuntu question
[20:05] <theadmin> Removing it won't remove the software
[20:06] <imbezol> aktx: have you tried support from cygwin or the linux distro provider?
[20:06] <Th34rchitekt> nanowrimo: debian wheezy
[20:06] <jamie___> Gregor3000: i have had problems that i have either just worked around or came up with alternate methods since 14.10
[20:06] <Gregor3000> aktx: the default session is porbably not bash or whatever it is. it's another one and oyu need ot setup the barebones linux box to show bash
[20:06] <aktx> Gregor3000, it's using bash
[20:06] <aktx> i have a .bashrc and all that setup
[20:06] <nanowrimo> Th34rchitekt, thanks :)
[20:06] <aktx> so in ubuntu bash, the ctrl+arrowkey works fine
[20:07] <aktx> but in this generic linx box, i get 5D or 5C depending which direction i choose
[20:07] <Gregor3000> aktx: yes but is it using it on SSH session
[20:07] <k1l> dspstv_: the package it calls sits in "trusty-updates" which you did not have activated. so after that running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" should make that work
[20:07] <aktx> Gregor3000, oh i see
[20:07] <aktx> how do i figure that out?
[20:07] <Gregor3000> i am asking cause i had same thing on debian server when monitor was connected to it bash, over ssh it was that other one that doens' tsupport various things
[20:08] <dspstv_> k1l:  running that dist-upgrade now. many thanks
[20:08] <jamie___> Gregor3000: i just cant easily revert to 14.04 due to how much work i have saved on here i dont want to loose or have to redo, espically my custom changes for better mozilla use
[20:08] <Gregor3000> jamie___: 14.10 should be fine
[20:08] <jamie___> Gregor3000: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9694687/
[20:09] <jamie___> says check internet connection anytime i try to check for updates.... lol
[20:09] <jamie___> i keep kinda have to keep making my own
[20:10] <Gregor3000> aktx: login via ssh then: "echo $SHELL"
[20:10] <jamie___> Gregor3000: you get used to it after awhile
[20:10] <aktx> >echo $SHELL
[20:10] <aktx>  /bin/bash
[20:10] <aktx> :\
[20:12] <jamie___> Gregor3000:  14.10 is for some odd really problematic for me, 14.04 worked great, but it has seemed that 14.10 keeps falling apart around me... lol
[20:13] <aktx> now to clarify
[20:14] <aktx> when i ssh, i actually ssh into a different shell
[20:14] <aktx> so initially, it's some custom shell
[20:14] <aktx> then i do something like "start bash" and i go into the bash shell as a different user
[20:14] <bekks> custom shell?
[20:14] <Gregor3000> aktx: well that's just odd
[20:14] <aktx> do you think the upper shell can be the cause?
[20:14] <aktx> yeah, some tweaked shell
[20:14] <aktx> i tried changing /etc/passwd shell, but it only breaks the system~
[20:15] <bekks> Can you clarify that please?
[20:15] <imbezol> it's not ubuntu and neither is the client
[20:15] <imbezol> so again, not an ubuntu issue
[20:15] <Gregor3000> what if you switch to bash with: chsh -s /bin/bash
[20:15] <gadsdin> is it a known issue that the installer defaults to a 1 MB biosgrub partition but then fails because that isn't enough room?
[20:15] <bekks> imbezol: ah ok
[20:15] <Gregor3000> jamie___: ouch.
[20:15] <aktx> yeah sorry
[20:15] <aktx> but this channel's very helpful, so wanted to ask
[20:16] <aktx> Gregor3000, yeah tried that no dice, thx for the help though
[20:16] <Gregor3000> you have som PPA's there that do not exist anymore or at leats temporary their servers are down
[20:16] <jamie___> Gregor3000: i run into this problem all of the time
[20:16] <Gregor3000> jamie___: and the first line probably should be fixed to utopic
[20:17] <jamie___> what one?
[20:17] <Gregor3000> you can easilly disable them in the same software sources where you added the ppa before
[20:17] <Gregor3000> W:Failed to fetch http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/dists/trusty-getdeb/games/binary-i386/Packages  Hash Sum mismatch
[20:17] <Gregor3000> you would then get rid of this error message
[20:17] <Dudytz> hi all .. I need an invitation to the Google Inbox android application? Does anyone of you use the app to send me an invitation?
[20:17] <dspstv_> k1l: just to report that the issued is SOLVED, many thanks for your kind help
[20:17] <Gregor3000> all that is saying it to you is that it can't reach thsoe sites while for the first one files are not compatible isnce oyu are using utopic now
[20:18] <jamie___> this is the first source i have changed
[20:18] <jamie___> I usually dont mess with the,
[20:18] <jamie___> mess with them
[20:20] <Gregor3000> no just untick those lines
[20:20] <Gregor3000> dont' mess with thenm. they iwll still be there and later you can tick them on again if the PPA's exist
[20:21] <Gregor3000> by that you "comment" the line so computer doens't want to try to reach them and then complain as it can't find them :-)
[20:21] <Gregor3000> or use them as it the case in the first line with trusty repo on getdeb
[20:22] <asdadslkjhfdag> hi i need help with ubuntu?
[20:22] <Gregor3000> besides doing that in software center is safe. if i told you to edit software sources file now that could lead to something...
[20:22] <asdadslkjhfdag> i need to install internet explorer
[20:23] <jamie___> Gregor3000: i have a list of what is cannot fetch.. but most of them are not listed in the software center ppa list
[20:23] <bekks> asdadslkjhfdag: What for?
 : install virtual box, install iwndows in it, install internet explorer
[20:23] <asdadslkjhfdag> i want to go to facebook
[20:23] <asdadslkjhfdag> how do i do that?
[20:23] <bekks> asdadslkjhfdag: Just use Firefox or any other browser.
[20:23] <cecja> asdadslkjhfdag: thats just odd but microsoft has actually a pretty nice site with a lot of vm for which you dont need any license
[20:23] <cecja> asdadslkjhfdag: https://www.modern.ie/de-de/virtualization-tools
[20:23] <asdadslkjhfdag> thank u bye
[20:24] <Gregor3000> chrome, chromium, opera....
[20:24] <imbezol> don't feed it
[20:25] <Gregor3000> jamie___: if they are not listed then it could be packages are not maintained anymore and were in official ubuntu before. i think it could happen. i mean if they were never removed.
[20:26] <jamie___> im mad, I had desirum on here.... then they discontnued support to it.. :(
[20:26] <BlackVenom> Hey folks
[20:27] <Gregor3000> jamie___: i thikn it is replaced with a new client: https://github.com/desura/desura-app
[20:27] <jamie___> Gregor3000: okay, well i ran sudo apt-get update and in the process for running sudo apt-get upgrade      update returned nothing
[20:27] <Th34rchitekt> BlackVenom: Hi
[20:27] <jr_> How can I burn a .img to a usb and make it bootable?
[20:27] <Gregor3000> well there you go.
[20:27] <BlackVenom> How is everyone
[20:27] <Gregor3000> jr_: in ubutnu?
[20:27] <jamie___> Gregor3000: wait... did i hear you right???? desura is back!!!!!!!
[20:27] <jr_> Gregor3000: yes
[20:28] <Igramul> jr_: A CD image?
[20:28] <bekks> jr_: you dont burn something onto an USB, but just copy things. And depending on the .img file, it may even boot afterwards.
[20:28] <jr_> Igramul: yes
[20:28] <Gregor3000> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu
[20:28] <BlackVenom> I have a general techie question
[20:28] <Gregor3000> you can also use unetbootin
[20:28] <Gregor3000> jr_: ^^
[20:29] <CiAnA> salut
[20:29] <BlackVenom> I have an internal SATA 1 HDD that came out of an old defunct laptop
[20:30] <BlackVenom> Now it's max transfer rate is 150MBps if I read correctly
[20:30] <Igramul> jr_: Use unetbootin.
[20:30] <svetlana> hi CiAnA
[20:30] <bekks> BlackVenom: Theoretically, with theoretical optimal hardware, yes.
[20:31] <Gregor3000> jr_: also missed the img part anway one option to covert to iso...: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/ccd2iso.1.html
[20:31] <BlackVenom> I want to put it into an external enclosure. What USB standard would I be best getting for it to obtain best output
[20:31] <BlackVenom> hey bekks
[20:32] <Igramul> BlackVenom: for 150MBps, USB 2 is sufficient.
[20:33] <BlackVenom> See thats what I was thinking
[20:33] <diddledan> Igramul, that's 150MB/s, not 150Mb/s
[20:33] <BlackVenom> When I checked the maximum output of USB 2 I found it was 60MBps
[20:34] <diddledan> BlackVenom, for full sata1 speed of 1.5Gbit/s you need usb3 and even then you're probably not going to max out the drive
[20:34] <cecja> i actually got good speeds with usb3 enclosures on usb2
[20:34] <Igramul> diddledan: A SATA disk with 150MB/s? That has to be an SSD.
[20:34] <BlackVenom> So thought USB 3 would be better
[20:34] <diddledan> Igramul, SATA 1.0 runs at 1.5Gbit/s
[20:34] <diddledan> SATA 2.0 at 3Gbit/s and 3.0 6Gbit/s
[20:34] <cecja> BlackVenom: if you got a usb3 host in your pc for sure but even on usb2 hosts usb3 enclosures perform better
[20:35] <bekks> BlackVenom: Practical USB2 speed is around 30MB/s.
[20:35] <BlackVenom> Cool thats what I was thinking
[20:35] <Igramul> diddledan: He was talking about disk speed (not interface speed).
[20:35] <diddledan> Igramul, no, he said 150MB/s which is exactly what 1.5Gbit/s equates to
[20:36] <Igramul> BlackVenom: Nevertheless, invest into a USB3 enclosure. The price difference is not that much and you can use it with faster disks.
[20:36] <BlackVenom> Awesome folks
[20:36] <BlackVenom> Thanks
[20:36] <Igramul> diddledan: double-checked -> you're right
[20:36] <diddledan> but, yeah, usb3 for futureproofing yourself is always a good idea
[20:37] <diddledan> it's entirely backwards compatible which is awesomeness on the part of the USB consortium
[20:38] <BlackVenom> Any manufacturers for enclosures you would recommend?
[20:38] <BlackVenom> or to avoid even
[20:38] <bekks> BlackVenom: Just the one you want, they are so cheap :)
[20:39]  * Igramul agrees. They all use standard chipsets.
[20:40] <cecja> BlackVenom: Bytec’s HD6-SU3 has the best performance look at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-3.0-superspeed-external-enclosure,2597-3.html
[20:40] <diddledan> as it's serial anyway I believe they don't actually need very much smarts at all, hence cheap
[20:40] <cecja> BlackVenom: and i got one and can confirm it :)
[20:40] <BlackVenom> I like reviews :-)
[20:41] <BlackVenom> I'll check it out
[20:42] <BlackVenom> Do all external enclosures come with a data connection and a separate power connection
[20:42] <BlackVenom> ?
[20:42] <bekks> BlackVenom: No.
[20:42] <holymac_> I have a question about the Amazon S3 bucket. How come when I upload a png my file gets uploaded, but when I upload a psd it doesn't upload anything
[20:43] <cecja> BlackVenom: it does depend 2,5 usually come only with data
[20:43] <BlackVenom> So they do exist haha
[20:43] <dgarstang> Testing
[20:43] <bekks> BlackVenom: But it is a good sign when the manufacturer enabled you of using an additional power source in case you need it.
[20:43] <BlackVenom> all the ones i seem to find have the two
[20:43] <bekks> BlackVenom: They exist because not all USB ports are properly powered, breaking standards.
[20:44] <dgarstang> upstart... i just put this together... https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/c0e17e75c82ac39b7ebc ... starts the service ok but a stop keeps repoorting "stop: Unknown instance:". Any ideas?
[20:45] <BlackVenom> It's going to be used with a Pi from time to time
[20:45] <andlabs> Whhere would I go to file an issue with the software sources tool's additional drivers feature? I'd specificlly like to request that it does NOT CONITNUE if any packages need to be uninstalled, due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/+bug/1129409
[20:45] <bekks> BlackVenom: Then you'll need the additional power source.
[20:45] <isifreek> ello, I run `sudo apt-get install gist` and it seemed to work. but now, `sudo which gist` produces nothing as if gist isn't installed. what's going on?
[20:45] <andlabs> (specifically that installing fglrx removes wine without indicating)
[20:45] <BlackVenom> ok cheers bekks
[20:46] <BlackVenom> and everyone else
[20:46] <BlackVenom> Didn't imagine i would get so much help
[20:47] <cecja> dgarstang: use pre-stop script before end script
[20:49] <tambaram> hi stupid question. When you first open a video on full screen in a website (exemple youtube) you are asked if you want to allow it. I unfortunately pressed no and remember my choice (ok i'm bad). Do you know i to reset the authorisation for this thing?
[20:49] <jeff__> what browser?
[20:49] <tambaram> firefox
[20:50] <dgarstang> cecja: I don;'t think i even need pre stuff
[20:50] <andlabs> also
[20:50] <jeff__> look in preferences
[20:50] <tambaram> i did but i can't quite find it
[20:50] <andlabs> after installing fglrx-updates and fglrx-updates-dev I can no longer link programs that require OpenGL; they say -lGL not found. What can I do? ALl I've found were answers for 12.04 that talk about fglrx-glx but that package no longer exists. Removing fglrx is not an ption due to freezing issues.
[20:51] <dgarstang> what is a pre-stop script for?
[20:51] <jeff__> one min...
[20:51] <jeff__> try about:permissions
[20:52] <cecja> dgarstang: just put pre-stop script right in front of end script and it will work i got the same bug on one of my upstart scripts dunno why
[20:52] <jeff__> in firefox, type about:permissions
[20:52] <dgarstang> ccecja: jeez. ok. thanks
[20:52] <jeff__> there is a setting for managing fullscreen
[20:52] <cecja> andlabs: does fglxgears function?
[20:53] <jeff__> dgarstang, did it work?
[20:53] <tambaram> thank you very much peff__ it worked for me.
[20:53] <dgarstang> jeff__: I think not...
[20:53] <dgarstang> jeff__: https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/d4f3741a13f788960a94 ... same result
[20:54] <andlabs> cecja: there is no such program, do you mean the regular glxgears?
[20:54] <andlabs> cecja: if so, yes it does work (though without any window decoration for some reason)
[20:55] <pantato> OerHeks: I'm sorry, what was that grep command you had me do again?
[20:55] <andlabs> (or mouse control for some reason)
[20:55] <dgarstang> Simplified a bit ... https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/fa281350491eb9d9b5c1 still doesn't work
[20:55] <cecja> andlabs: how many fps?
[20:55] <cecja> dgarstang: http://pastebin.com/XTCPgkST
[20:56] <andlabs> 4326 frames in 5.0 seconds = 865.156 FPS
[20:56] <cecja> andlabs: which applications dont work?
[20:56] <andlabs> the lowest is 853 and the highest is 926
[20:56] <andlabs> I can't /build/ programs
[20:56] <andlabs> linker says -lGL not found
[20:56] <dgarstang> cecja: What'd you change?
[20:56] <andlabs> in this case building cairo in jhbuild for a gtk+ testing environment
[20:56] <cecja> dgarstang: put the end script to the bottom
[20:58] <dgarstang> cecja: now it won't start. :(
[20:58] <andlabs> in this case I have a CPU with integrated GPU:  AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics
[20:58] <dgarstang> cecja: wait wait.. it starts but won't stop
[21:00] <dgarstang> jeez this is frustrating
[21:03] <andlabs> no one knows?
[21:03] <grobe0ba> did you add an alias for 'ls' in your .bashrc?
[21:04] <BlackVenom> bekks me again
[21:04] <BlackVenom> Do you know on average how much power these drives need to work?
[21:05] <bufferloss> hi
[21:05] <blackflow> how do I install games I cant find the control panel
[21:05] <bufferloss> anyone here that swaps ctrl and capslock in unity?
[21:05] <bufferloss> blackflow, probably either using packages provided by the game developers, or by compiling from source (usually)
[21:05] <barfy> BlackVenom: pretty sure they take 1.21 gigawatts each
[21:05] <bufferloss> blackflow, like which game do you want?
[21:05] <BlackVenom> haha barfy
[21:06] <blackflow> bufferloss: I want steam
[21:06] <aicasn> grobe0ba: i typed "firefox" and nothing happened. do you know how to fix that?
[21:06] <BlackVenom> Great Scott thats a lot of power
[21:06] <pantato> blackflow: cntrl-alt-t , sudo apt-get install steam
[21:06] <bufferloss> blackflow, hmm... steam is available on ubuntu, in fact ubuntu is the only officially supported platform
[21:06] <bufferloss> pantato, actually I think that package name is outdated
[21:06] <barfy> bufferloss: i am 100% sure Steam supports windows
[21:06] <bufferloss> it looks like it's better to download the .deb file from steampowered itself
[21:06] <rascul> barfy i don't believe you
[21:06] <andlabs> blackflow: ?
[21:06] <bufferloss> s/platform/distro/
[21:07] <Menche> lol
[21:07] <pantato> bufferloss: i've had no problem with the repository package
[21:07] <barfy> bufferloss: pretty sure it'll run on anything with the right libc thrown in the right place
[21:07] <barfy> and the right LD_* variables set
[21:07] <bufferloss> barfy, as I said... s/platform/distro/
[21:07] <barfy> rascul: i think you should check your registry
[21:07] <dgarstang> fucking upstart
[21:07] <bufferloss> it's not that it won't run on other distros, it does, I've used it on several distros
[21:07] <pantato> in any case bufferloss, if you download .deb files, just open them with the ubuntu software suite
[21:07] <bufferloss> but it's only officially supported on ubuntu
[21:07] <pantato> i mean
[21:07] <grobe0ba> dgarstang: please don't cuss so much, you're offending me
[21:08] <pantato> blackflow:
[21:08] <dgarstang> grobe0ba: I cussed once, but ok
[21:08] <barfy> so, who else in here uses emacs?
[21:08] <blackflow> vim > emacs
[21:08] <barfy> it's like, 10x better than that vi thing, imho
[21:08] <Cay> nope vim
[21:08] <srg> I think rms is the only person to use emacs
[21:08] <barfy> i can never get it to work
[21:08] <rascul> does ubuntu come with vi?
[21:08] <bufferloss> vi sucks
[21:08] <phobos_anomaly> barfy: That word offends me... Please don't mention it again
[21:08] <bufferloss> vim is great :)
[21:09] <Cay> then again real men use vi
[21:09] <bekks> rascul: Yes.
[21:09] <k1l> we dont need a trolling editor war in here. thanks
[21:09] <blackflow> vim ftw, it's much faster then emacs
[21:09] <vera1> haha bufferloss
[21:09] <Menche> vim > emacs
[21:09] <vera1> I don't tolerate vi
[21:09] <bufferloss> anyway
[21:09] <k1l> !ot
[21:09] <bufferloss> speaking of vim and emacs
[21:09] <bufferloss> who swaps their capslock and ctrl keys?
[21:09] <rascul> it does come with vi? that does it, i'm uninstalling ubuntu
[21:09] <vera1> because I don't know the shourcouts
[21:09] <bufferloss> ubuntu keep sealing my capslock back when it sleeps or temporarily locks the screen
[21:09] <blackflow> emacs doesnt even work in ubuntu
[21:09] <vera1> vim is more similar (in regards to shorcouts and key strokes behaviour) to other editors
[21:10] <bufferloss> like if I just leave for a moment, long enough for my login screen to pop up again, when I log in
[21:10] <bufferloss> I have to re-run setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
[21:10] <bufferloss> how do I make that permanent in unity?
[21:11] <phobos_anomaly> Where is the registry backup in ubuntu? It keeps telling me my registry is corrupt and needs to be restored from backup
[21:11] <srg> phobos_anomaly: Is that in firefox? It might be an ad
[21:11] <blackflow> phobos_anomaly: click the upppermost icon then type registry in the search bar, you can install it from there
[21:11] <phobos_anomaly> srg: no, it's on boot up. It can't start.
[21:11] <srg> aw man, you might have to repartition
[21:12] <phobos_anomaly> again?
[21:13] <Cay> phobos_anomaly: have you tried not using a bad X environment
[21:13] <Cay> phobos_anomaly: what DE are you using?
[21:14] <phobos_anomaly> I've been using that Unity stuff. I keep hearing about great it is and all that. All I'm seeing is fail.
[21:14] <Cay> Try using less fail and go with xbmc
[21:15] <vera1> phobos_anomaly: it's not that bad
[21:15] <vera1> It's not my user interface of source
[21:15] <vera1> but the whole idea is not that bad
[21:15] <bufferloss> why would unity steal my keybinding when it sleeps/locks the screen?
[21:15] <vera1> of *choice
[21:15] <vera1> sorry, I'm thick
[21:16] <vera1> haahaha
[21:16] <pantato> hey guys, can someone give me the command to see if HPET is being utilized?
[21:16] <vera1> use a window manager
[21:16] <vera1> at least to test it :)
[21:16] <pantato> someone told me earlier, and i spaced it and lost it
[21:17] <blackflow> how do I uninstall systemd?
[21:17] <Cay> anyone who needs serious help from their OS cd / && rm -rf *
[21:17] <Ben64> !danger
[21:17] <niko> !ops Cay
[21:28] <lulimay> Hi there! I'm having an issue with apt-get. Trying to install openjdk-7-jre-headless and I'm getting a 404 error partway through. It worked a couple of days ago, I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
[21:30] <EriC^^> lulimay: paste the error
[21:30] <danny_> shutting down doesnt work. it just restarts when i press shut down
[21:31] <lulimay> Thanks! It's: E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nss/libnss3-nssdb_3.17.1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_all.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.15 80]
[21:31] <theadmin> lulimay: Run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first
[21:31] <theadmin> It may be looking for an outdated, non-existent package
[21:31] <lulimay> Thanks, I'll give that a try!
[21:33] <danny_> Any recommended way to change font size?
[21:34] <shuman> danny_: yep, just follow those steps:
[21:35] <shuman> danny_: choose a BIG font size, and start to decrese the fonts size until you're good ;)
[21:35] <shuman> large maybe
[21:35] <pantato> pls halp me :'(
[21:35] <drakedouay> is there a command to learn how to run a program I installed? I ran apt-get install, but the command to execute the program is different then the name used to install it
[21:36] <EriC^^> drakedouay: you can check the bin files with dpkg -L <package> | grep /bin
[21:36] <pantato> root alert! root alert!!!
[21:36] <Brixius> Question: I need to get a 10gb nick for an Ubuntu server.  Any recomendations for brand that is verified working?
[21:36] <drakedouay> Thanks EriC^^
[21:37] <pantato> Brixius: why are you root?
[21:37] <drakedouay> EriC^^: no results
[21:38] <EriC^^> drakedouay: what's the command you typed?
[21:38] <k1l> pantato: no need to make an alert :) we have a factoid for that: !rootirc
[21:38] <cq-aux> !epub
[21:38] <drakedouay> dpkg -L minecraft-installer | grep /bin
[21:38] <pantato> !rootirc
[21:38] <dgarstang> Does anyone have any idea why this upstart script https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/e045dc46b8b24ca36345 fails to stop? The process _IS_ running. I keep getting "stop: Unknown instance:"
[21:39] <brixius> because I was stupid, that's why I was root.
[21:39] <EriC^^> drakedouay: how did you install that?
[21:39] <pantato> k1l: i was just being cute :)
[21:39] <drakedouay> EriC^^: sudo apt-get install minecraft-installer
[21:40] <EriC^^> drakedouay: try whereis minecraft
[21:40] <drakedouay> EriC^^: oh wow, that worked. Awesome
[21:40] <bufferloss> I would just run it via the jar file
[21:40] <bufferloss> s/would/do/
[21:41] <brixius> Now let's try this again: Question: I need a 10gb nic for an Ubuntu server(iscsi) any recomendations of known working 10gb brands?
[21:41] <brixius> I really don't want to but 3 or 4 differnt ones to find out that drivers are not available.
[21:41] <cq-aux> Hi what's a good program for reading epub ebooks?
[21:42] <OerHeks> !info calibre
[21:43] <cq-aux> OerHeks: thanks I think
[21:43] <DJones> cq-aux: FBreader is in the ubuntu repo's, I use it on android, I'd guess that its fairly similar, calibre also includes a reader
[21:44] <cq-aux> ahh
[21:44] <cq-aux>  ok
[21:44] <cq-aux> android sounds good, I'll try that one first
[21:44] <cq-aux> thanks
[21:45] <lulimay> Unfortunately, adding apt-get dist-upgrade didn't help. Any other suggestions?
[21:47] <danny_> shutting down doesnt work. it just restarts when i press shut down
[21:48] <pantato> danny_: sudo shutdown -h now
[21:48] <pantato> is the sure fire way to shutdown
[21:48] <dgarstang> Does anyone have any idea why this upstart script https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/e045dc46b8b24ca36345 fails to stop? The process _IS_ running. I keep getting "stop: Unknown instance:"
[21:49] <danny_> seems like a work-around, but do you recommend i just ignore the fact that i cant shut down the GUI way pantato
[21:49] <danny_> thanks btw
[21:49] <pantato> danny_: yeah from the threads i've seen it doesn't really seem like there's a solution
[21:50] <danny_> interesting.  so we just wait for a patch or something?
[21:50] <EriC^^> danny_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132143/stuck-on-reboot-and-shutdown/135568#135568
[21:51] <danny_> thANKS
[21:51] <gustavo> I can't longer to open pages in google-chrome. How to fix it ?
[21:52] <DeaDSouL> i was searching for how to view the manually installed packages... and didn't find anything.. so I want to share my script with you.. in case anyone might need it.. for apt-get : while read f; do echo "${f##*install }"; done < <(cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep -i 'apt-get *install')
[21:52] <DeaDSouL> and this one is for aptitude : while read f; do f="${f##* }"; echo "${f%%:*}"; done < <(cat /var/log/aptitude | grep -i '\[install\]')
[21:52] <svetlana> hi, gustavo, what error message do you get, does it work with another browser
[21:53] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: yikes, just use apt-mark showmanual
[21:53] <gustavo> svetlana, yes, in firefox it works fine.
[21:53] <svetlana> what error message do you get in ... sorry? google-chrome or chromium-browser?
[21:53] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: it shows many packages even the dependencies and libs... and I don't want that ;)
[21:54] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)
[21:54] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: I even tried that... same thing ;)
[21:55] <CluelessPerson> so I've reinstalled ubuntu-server, now I get an error
[21:55] <CluelessPerson> "error; unkonwn filesystem."  Entering rescue mode...
[21:55] <CluelessPerson> grub rescue> _
[21:55] <CluelessPerson> Can anyone help me?
[21:55] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: ok, 2 problems with yours, what if the packages were later deleted
[21:55] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ls
[21:56] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: problem 2, you're only using the last history.log which only has a handful of packages
[21:56] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: (hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos1)
[21:56] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: you are right... gotta work on that
[21:56] <dgarstang> Does anyone have any idea why this upstart script https://gist.github.com/dgarstang/e045dc46b8b24ca36345 fails to stop? The process _IS_ running. I keep getting "stop: Unknown instance:"
[21:56] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: set root=(hd0,1)
[21:57] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ls /
[21:57] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: btw the dependencies still get removed, it's pretty much a myth
[21:57] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: you could use get-selections with the same result
[21:57] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: give it a shot
[21:57] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: it shows what lookos like a standard root of a linux system
[21:58] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: thanks... I'll try that :)
[21:58] <EriC^^> :)
[21:59] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I have the standard root folders within a linux installation
[21:59] <CluelessPerson> any ideas?
[22:00] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: set prefix=(hdX,Y)/boot/grub
[22:01] <CluelessPerson> okay
[22:01] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: alright
[22:01] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: insmod linux
[22:01] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL:  error: disk 'hdX,Y' not found
[22:02] <CluelessPerson> did you want me to input those numbers you used before?
[22:02] <skypce> hello
[22:02] <skypce> do you know how fix this?
[22:02] <skypce> XSMP error:  Offending minor opcode    = 5 (InteractRequest)
[22:02] <skypce>              Offending sequence number = 10

[22:02] <unopaste> skypce 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
[22:02] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: set prefix=(hd0,1)/
[22:02] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: no wait
[22:02] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: set prefix=(hd0,1)/boot/grub
[22:03] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay, ran the insmod linux and it didn't error this time, worked
[22:03] <CluelessPerson> next
[22:03] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: good.. now type: insmod loopback
[22:03] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay, no error
[22:04] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: insmod iso9660
[22:04] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay
[22:05] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: insmod fat
[22:05] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay
[22:05] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: insmod ntfs
[22:05] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay
[22:05] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: insmod nftscomp
[22:06] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: ntfs or nfts?
[22:06] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: nfts errored, so I did ntfs
[22:06] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: worked
[22:07] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: also, the nfts specifically errored "/boot/grub/i386-pc/nftscomp.mod' not found
[22:07] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: but again, just to be clear, insmod ntfscomp    worked fine.
[22:08] <dgarstang> Well, I don't know if upstart is broken or not. http://pastebin.com/U0TuW3bp ... even the simplest case doesn't work. foo stop gets me "stop: Unknown instance:"
[22:08] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: "not found" error means that the path in the prefix is incorrect or the specific module does not exist. The prefix setting may be reviewed with the set command. Rerun the "set prefix=" command with the proper path
[22:09] <cluelessperson_> DeaDSouL: I crashed, just got back.
[22:10] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL:   Do you have anything more for me?>
[22:10] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ls /boot/
[22:11] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I got a bunch of elf and bin files
[22:11] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL:  is there one in particular you want?
[22:11] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: linux /boot/vmlinuz (FULL-NAME)
[22:12] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: don't worry we already set it to root
[22:12] <tambaram> hi i'm actually running fedora, but i have drvier problem plus i hate yum. I'm concidering trying Gnomeubuntu. Does someone use it around? What version of gnome do they use is it the same than fedora 21? How stable is it? Would you recommand?
[22:12] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay I ran it.   linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0-28-generic
[22:13] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: initrd /boot/initrd (FULL-NAME)
[22:13] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay, same thing, just initrd at front
[22:13] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: boot
[22:14] <k1l> tambaram: what gnome version is fedora 21 running then?
[22:14] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: worked ?
[22:14] <tambaram> 3.14 k1l
[22:15] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: a huge amount of text started scrolling very quickly.  then it held up at a specific line, [3.265997] hid-generic 0003....
[22:15] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: nvm, it moved on to [46.28] random: nonblocking pool is initialized
[22:15] <CluelessPerson> now waiting with cursor
[22:15] <k1l> tambaram: do you want to upgrade the release all 6 months? or are you more for the LTS release with 5 years support?
[22:15] <EriC^^> DeaDSouL: i modified your neat script while read f; do echo "${f##*install }"; done < <(cat /var/log/apt/history.log && zcat /var/log/apt/history.log.* | grep -i 'apt-get .*install')
[22:16] <tambaram> i'm more like always updating to get the new stuff k1l
[22:16] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: thanks man.. I will try it :D
[22:16] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: it seems to be stuck at that line, random: nonblocking pool is initialized
[22:16] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: good... so it's booting ?
[22:16] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: oh.. wait a few seconds
[22:16] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: it seems to be, but it also seems to be stuck at that line.
[22:16] <k1l> tambaram: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME#See_Also
[22:16] <CluelessPerson> ok
[22:18] <tambaram> merci k1l. Je voulais avoir l'avis d'un utilisateur. Je vais voir ce que je fait... au pire unity ira :)
[22:18] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: yeah, it's just stuck now
[22:18] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: hmmm
[22:19] <dgarstang> is there any way to stop upstart from keeping the parent shell around?
[22:19] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ok.. do you have a live cd ?
[22:19] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I only have the usb boot install
[22:20] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I can get to a console on it if you want me to
[22:20] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ok.. do you have a live iso i mean ?
[22:20] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: no
[22:20] <tambaram> shit i'm speaking french now :). I was saying k1l that i wanted to have the mind of a user. Thank you for you help i'll see what i do... In worst case unity will fit :)
[22:20] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I'm at work and desperately trying to get this up
[22:20] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson:  do you have the iso file ?
[22:20] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ok
[22:20] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: at home I could download it.
[22:21] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: here, I only have the ubuntu-server installation usb
[22:21] <dgarstang> is there any way to stop upstart from keeping the parent shell around?
[22:22] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: ok wait
[22:28] <dgarstang> is there any way to stop upstart from keeping the parent shell around?
[22:28] <bekks> dgarstang: Out of curiousity - why would that be vital?
[22:28] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I tried these commands:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/375801/unknown-filesystem-grub-rescue  but I'm getting a blank screen
[22:29] <CluelessPerson> which was why I ran the entire server install again
[22:29] <dgarstang> bekks: this doesn't look optimal... http://pastebin.com/feUZeNm6
[22:29] <dgarstang> bekks: the parent shell never went away
[22:29] <bekks> dgarstang: And why would that be vital?
[22:30] <dgarstang> bekks: it's not vital. it's suboptimal
[22:30]  * hugosorry nods - agreed
[22:30] <BTJustice> In Network Manager, how can I specify multiple VPN server ports for a connection?
[22:30] <bekks> dgarstang: I dont see a parent shell there. I just see a su process running your java instance.
[22:31] <bekks> dgarstang: And thats very normal, when running processes using su.
[22:31] <dgarstang> bekks: is there a way around that?
[22:32] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: once you get the iso... try this: http://pastebin.com/81CxP94z
[22:32] <bekks> dgarstang: Yes. Dont use su.
[22:32] <wattazoum_> hello allo
[22:32] <wattazoum_> all*
[22:33] <bekks> dgarstang: If you want to use su, then su will be running because you are starting your task with su.
[22:33] <dgarstang> bekks: you mean use upstart's equiv to change user?
[22:33] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: Thank you for your help, I realy appreciate it.
[22:33] <bekks> dgarstang: it has nothing to do with upstart.
[22:33] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: you're welcome :)
[22:33] <dgarstang> bekks: well, this particular app doesn't switch the user itself, so I'm not sure how else to do it
[22:34] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: Would the TPM in this machine possibly interfere with it booting linux?
[22:35] <bekks> dgarstang: the user is switched using su, and then the app is started as the different user.
[22:35] <soman> Has ubuntu some app to download entire webpage http://www.myscore.ru/football/russia/premier-league/results/ with data loaded with js? That tool should be easy for automation (cli tool for example)
[22:35] <dgarstang> bekks: yes...
[22:35] <bekks> dgarstang: I really dont see the problem at that point, to be honest.
[22:35] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: TPM?
[22:35] <dgarstang> bekks: kk
[22:35] <SchrodingersScat> !info phantomjs | soman
[22:35] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: Trusted platform module, I don't think it'll interfere, but it could be possible.
[22:35] <CluelessPerson> with bios or something.
[22:36] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: i don't really know.. sorry
[22:36] <soman> SchrodingersScat: I've already used it. Looks unstable. It hangs on random file while downloading something maybe from js errors or something else. Anything else?
[22:36] <SchrodingersScat> soman: that and tools like it are all I know of, I used phantomjs a little when trying to work with dreadful js pages.  It can do a lot, and if you search for similar things then you might find some other tools.
[22:36] <BTJustice> In Network Manager, how can I specify multiple VPN server ports for a connection?
[22:36] <soman> SchrodingersScat: ok thanks
[22:37] <SchrodingersScat> soman: nothing that any normal human would enjoy using, I also had similar frustrations, so not sure how to help, best of luck though!
[22:41] <setuid> Something weird, my menus have no applications in them.. Applications only has 2-3 items, System has 1 item, etc.
[22:41] <setuid> I installed gnome-panel-applets, didn't help. Ran 'update-menus', didn't help
[22:41] <setuid> had to add the "Run command" applet to the panel just so I could run xterm, so I can get things done
[22:41] <setpoint> how do I update java?
[22:42] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: weird, now it's not even getting tot that grub rescue
[22:42] <CluelessPerson> just black screen
[22:42] <k1l> setpoint: from what version to what version? and on what ubuntu exactly?
[22:42] <setpoint> k1l: ubuntu 14.04

[22:43] <mathemancer> Hey, everyone.  Running 14.10 on a Dell xps13.  Think everything is up to date.  Shutdown for a flight, now it's hanging mid-boot.  I think it's having trouble mounting the encrypted volume correctly.
[22:43] <k1l> setpoint: and java?
[22:44] <dalvids> Has anyone tested another window manager like awesome?
[22:44] <mathemancer> Here's a paste of what I believe to be the relevant console output.  The first part is what's shown when booting in recovery mode, the second is what is shown when booting in regular mode.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9695392/
[22:44] <dalvids> Any tip?
[22:47] <mathemancer> Here's pics I took with my phone of the screen when the boot is hanging.  The first is booting in recovery mode, the other is booting regularly.
[22:48] <mathemancer> oops... http://imgur.com/a/dpN2R
[22:51] <mathemancer> Other info:  I can boot to a usb stick and mount the encrypted partition with my files just fine.  Worst case, I could just copy the important things and reinstall, but I really don't want to have to resetup my work environment
[22:52] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: okay, get this,  I seriously think it's installing the grub on the usb server install boot
[22:53] <fancyfetus> hey guys
[22:53] <setuid> What is the "appropriate" desktop package to install all of GNOME, gdm, etc. on Karmic?
[22:53] <fancyfetus> what is the best trackpad gesture software I can get?
[22:53] <fancyfetus> I'm looking to configure a macbook trackpad
[22:53] <bekks> !karmic | setuid
[22:53] <k1l> setuid: get rid of karmic
[22:54] <setuid> k1l, Nope, it's going t run here in a VM
[22:54] <k1l> setuid: upgrade to at least 12.04
[22:54] <setuid> I have every single Ubuntu distro on my ESXi server
[22:54] <bekks> setuid: It isnt supported for 3 years now.
[22:54] <setuid> I have up to current, just backfilling gaps
[22:54] <k1l> setuid: then you are on your own there.
[22:54] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: where is it installed ? on your hard-drive or usb stick ?
[22:54] <setuid> Pretty typical been doing Linux on my own for 15+ years :)
[22:55] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I installed on the hard drive.
[22:55] <setuid> karmic was kind of a disaster
[22:55] <setuid> Installing gnome-desktop-environment requires fam, which removes gdm, which breaks gnome
[22:55] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: but it seems it boots to black screenw ith usb in, and does the filesystem error with the usb out
[22:55] <DeaDSouL> EriC^^: check this.. many aliases functions for what I want :P http://pastebin.com/PnQSL5YK
[22:55] <XCVB> what's that thing called when you move your window on the of the screen and it maximizes
[22:56] <hugosorry> XCVB: window snapping ?
[22:56] <XCVB> thanks
[22:56] <hugosorry> np
[22:56] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: when you remove the usb.. does it boot?
[22:57] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: no, I get the entire grub rescue> thing
[22:58] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: was it booting fine before ?
[22:58] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: no
[22:58] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: i mean like yesterday?
[22:58] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: Honestly, I'm just going to go home shortyly (2 minutes it'll be 5) and I'm going to download various ISOS, specifically the 14.04  rather than this 14.10
[22:58] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: no  ,never.
[22:59] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: I was just trying to install today for the first time.
[22:59] <mathemancer> any help?  I tried running fsck -a on ubuntu--vg--root with no improvement (although it did fix some things)
[22:59] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: where did you install the bootloader ? on main MBR ?
[23:00] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: yes
[23:00] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: that was the idea I thought
[23:00] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: and how many drives are there? and how many OSes?
[23:00] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: one OS, one HDD
[23:01] <privato89> hello
[23:02] <XCVB> how do I enable window snapping in compiz?
[23:02] <hugosorry> hello privato89
[23:03] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: out of ideas... but if it didn't boot with what i gave you.. try 14.04 or debian.. and let's see
[23:03] <postmodern> I cannot seem to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::15)
[23:03] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: yeah, I'm going to do 14.04
[23:03] <CluelessPerson> DeaDSouL: thanks again for all your help, I appreciate it.  I'm going home for now.
[23:03] <DeaDSouL> CluelessPerson: sure man.. good luck
[23:04] <hugosorry> XCVB: iirc you have to get some tool to do this ... ccsm or something... let me google a second
[23:04] <privato89> I will add more effects in compiz, what can I do it?
[23:04] <hugosorry> XCVB: here, the reverse of this should help you.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/72452/how-to-turn-off-compizs-drag-to-maximize-behaviour/72480#72480
[23:05] <k1l> XCVB: which ubuntu exactly? which desktop?

[23:32] <fancyfetus> hey guys, how can I disable the default unity trackpad gestures on 14.04
[23:32] <fancyfetus> do I have to rebuild unity? :(
[23:33] <k1l> fancyfetus: did you take a look into unity-tweak-tool?
[23:34] <fancyfetus> k1l: I have it open now!
[23:36] <fancyfetus> k1l: where in the tweak tool can I disable this?
[23:38] <arun> guys, nmcli con add type team con-name team0 ifname team0 config '{"runner":{"name":"activebackup"}}'

[23:39] <k1l> fancyfetus: last icon labled mouse scrolling
[23:39] <petepiano1960> farva: a few things stand out.  You are using back-quotes when you should really use $()
[23:40] <fancyfetus> k1l: there are other gestures, though! Three finger double tapping does an "alt-tab"
[23:40] <petepiano1960> farva: also, the code
[23:40] <fancyfetus> four finger tapping presses super
[23:40] <petepiano1960> farva:  if [ $ME == $USERNAME ] ; then
[23:40] <farva> I am actually not the one who wrote this, I know nothing about coding, but I can take notes and have my friend work it out =]
[23:40] <petepiano1960> try putting $ME in quotes  - "$ME"
[23:40] <farva> will do =]
[23:41] <k1l> fancyfetus: see this http://askubuntu.com/a/472247/31260
[23:43] <fancyfetus> one person says touchegg works on 14.04 and another says it doesn't.
[23:45] <arun> guys, please check this http://dpaste.com/16SDZWM
[23:47] <k1l> arun: are you sure the syntax is right there?
[23:47] <petepiano1960> farva: and $USERNAME in quotes also
[23:47] <arun> k1l: why not? it worked in Fedora
[23:48] <farva> kk
[23:48] <petepiano1960> farva: however, even wit those changes bash -n start.sh still gives an error
[23:48] <k1l> arun: well, the errors state that its not working that way on ubuntu
[23:48] <petepiano1960> line 43: syntax error near unexpected token `$'{\r''
[23:48] <farva> hmm, okay >.<
[23:48] <farva> well, it is a cauldron server, not a vanilla or bukkit server
[23:49] <petepiano1960> what is whoami returning ?
[23:49] <k1l> arun: what ubuntu is that?
[23:50] <arun> k1l: 14.04
[23:51] <k1l> arun: is it set up with nmcli dev wifi ...
[23:52] <arun> k1l: nope
[23:52] <petepiano1960> farva: I dont now what a cauldron server is.  is it a vanilla ubuntu install ?
[23:52] <k1l> first dev, then con
[23:52] <farva> its a minecraft server running on my ubuntu server machine
[23:53] <petepiano1960> farva: does that mean you are running the shell under Ubuntu or under a variant of linux ? (I am ignorant of minecraft)
[23:53] <farva> ubuntu
[23:55] <farva> I just tried simplifying the script and grabed this to test the process: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9695666/ but bash -n won't start it, neither will sh ./start.sh >.<
[23:55] <farva> =[
[23:55] <farva> I just need to test a few things and the start script hates me =[
[23:56] <farva> I really with I knew more about this stuff ...
[23:57] <petepiano1960> farva: bash -n is a basic syntax check - it doesn't run the script
[23:58] <farva> ohh
[23:58] <farva> good to know =]
[23:58] <fancyfetus> Alright, I feel like I've seen nearly every single webpage about multitouch software
[23:58] <fancyfetus> touchegg has been inactive since 2011
[23:58] <farva> sh ./start.sh should have worked though right? I mean the simpler script should run it
[23:58] <fancyfetus> there doesn't seem to be any alternatives
[23:59] <fancyfetus> so simply put: customizable trackpad gestures aren't possible on ubuntu.
