[00:00] it appears the easiest way to cut an ogg file is to upload it to Youtube and use their editing tools :-/ [00:00] Monika: as long as it works :/ [00:01] Monika, well. sudo apt-get install mp3splt-gtk worked out for me. [00:01] well the other ways didn't work, I have converted the ogg to something avidemux can open with HandBreak in 5 different ways, and everytime something else is wrong, avidemux crashes, or the sound is lost, or the sound and video are not aligned anymore [00:02] like 30 seconds off by the end of 3 minutes [00:02] mp3splt-gtk can cut ogg files? [00:03] Affirmative. [00:03] Monika: No. Because OGG video isnt MP3 audio :) [00:03] I meant OGG Vorbis, although. [00:03] * ki7rw needs help with setting up aide - the howto at howtoforge says that the username in aide.conf has to be changed - i don't see a username in the file [00:04] Ogg Vorbis, is that only sound or with Video? [00:05] Monika: Ogg Vorbis is Audio only. [00:05] Audio teilen ging auch mit Audacity, aber dann war das Bild weg === Blaster is now known as goliathonline [00:06] Monika: Why dont you just convert the video to AVI, use avidemux, and convert it back to OGG? [00:06] that's what I have been trying the last hour [00:06] as I said [00:06] I tried HandBrake for the conversion [00:06] so far 5 different settings [00:07] to get files Avidemux can open [00:07] Just use ffmpeg or avconv [00:07] then either the sound is gone [00:07] or the sound and video are misaligned [00:07] or avidemux crashes [00:07] ok [00:08] when I run 'useradd username' [00:08] a user gets added but i am not prompted to enter a password [00:08] i used -p passwordhere [00:08] and that did not work for switching user [00:08] sagredo: add the user, then use passwd to setthe user password. [00:08] any particular reason you're not using adduser (as the manpage for useradd suggests)? [00:09] bekks it asks for current password [00:09] and i never set a password [00:09] ... [00:09] sagredo: sudo passwd username doesnt ask anything but the new password. [00:09] ok [00:13] kostkon: hey man [00:13] i guess i spoke too soon [00:13] only guest works [00:13] tried making a new user and when I try to log in it just kicks me back to initial log in screen [00:13] inifitely [00:13] infinitely* [00:14] good evening everyone, and many thx for all the help today ;) [00:14] did you mess with any umask settings or something [00:15] daftykins: I will fix that USB, i believe in China .. lolol [00:15] have fun, cya [00:15] * k1l thinks its the typical .Xauthority issue [00:16] sagredo, http://askubuntu.com/a/147565/1651 [00:16] kostkon: let me go to guest [00:16] hold on [00:16] sagredo: can you open a tty and type ls -ld /home/ ?

[02:35] hitting windows key [02:35] the thing that pops up [02:35] dannymichel, In the dash and than clicking it? [02:35] yeah bubbasaures [02:36] make a new launcher that just runs "google-chrome" [02:36] new tab is not a person either [02:40] i guess ill look into making a launcher [02:40] for chromium(not chrome) === moe is now known as Guest22763 [02:43] dannymichel, Take a look in preferences to what the page to open when started. [02:43] yeah i did that bubbasaures [02:43] doesn't help [02:43] i did open blank [02:43] and purging chromium should have ehlped [02:44] no it shouldn't have [02:44] dannymichel, not sure it will open blank whatever that means, try putting something there, however it may be a bad start with the launcher, it's just unusual unless tweaked. [02:45] i said it already, its the way you're launching it === moe is now known as Guest12961 [02:46] gotcha. i can't try now anyway because my PC can't be turned on. the space heater caused a power outage so on my macbook pro now [02:47] moe [02:47] yeah Ben64 you're saying to somehow create a custom launcher, so yeah, I'm gonna look into that [02:49] How can I get the shutdown command to work properly from within a chroot? [02:49] Glycan, lotsa pages on chrooting you using one? [02:49] Sorry? [02:50] Glycan, such as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [02:50] about a million more probably [02:51] Glycan: I can always learn different, but I can not imigine shutting the system down in the CHRoot to be a good thing .. leaving all those files open ! [02:51] yeah never heard of that [02:52] No, I mean, getting the entire system to shutdown. Properly. [02:52] Glycan: type exit in the chroot [02:52] Is there a quick way to temporarily disable desktop compositing (compiz) ? [02:53] Glycan: unmount whatever you mounted in reverse order if you want, then shutdown [02:53] Glycan: you could just reboot, but if you want to be completely sure just reverse unmount everything [02:53] EriC^^: what does that have to do with anything? I want the crontab'd shutdown within the chroot to work. [02:54] i dont know what you're talking about [02:54] interesting [02:54] i thought you're in a chroot and want to shutdown [02:54] Mh, is there a fix or workaround for flash videos in fullscreen (and other pop up applications) only being displayed on the leftmost and not on the "main" monitor while dualscreening? [02:55] EriC^^: yes.. [02:56] i usually turn off the other monitor in display options the save settings and the one thats on becomes main monitor Jasaka [02:56] Glycan: you're doing something in the chroot and want it to turn off at a certain time? [02:56] EriC^^: at a certain time, from *within* the chroot, I want to turn off the entire computer. [02:57] you can drag the title thing to make the main monitor Jasaka [02:58] The DM, WE, etc. are on a liveusb that's inconvienent to change. All of my actual stuff is on my hard drive, into which I chroot. [02:58] Oh, nevermind. I thought of a workaround. [02:58] You can make a new crontab with bash, right? [02:58] you're going about this in a retarded fashion [02:59] you can just chroot /mnt [02:59] dannymichel: if i turn of the other monitor i cant use it? O.o the title thing? [02:59] and have a && ....shutdown after it [02:59] yeah the black title bar [02:59] you just turn the secondary monitor back on after you hit apply [03:00] and/or drag the black title bar [03:00] Eh, having it add the crontab with the chroot-in script will probably work and it's a hell lot easier than doing everything the right way. [03:02] :/ Doesnt work for me, if i turn it off, it automatically gets allocated as the leftmost monitor, so after turning it on again ill have the same problem [03:02] rightmost* [03:02] Glycan: if you explain what you're trying to do it would be best [03:02] did you try dragging the black title bar Jasaka === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [03:03] flash fullscreens and guake (which is the pop up application i use) dont have a draggable title bar [03:03] if you're writing a script it wont execute the stuff [03:03] alguien español [03:04] no, in display settings Jasaka [03:04] hi how to install skype in it [03:04] !es | kabir___ [03:04] kabir___: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:05] EriC^^: I wanted to have a working system that doesn't cause me too many inconviences. Right now, I want my box to shutdown at a certain time. I have a script, on my harddrive, to remount dev and copy resolv.conf and all the other crap into chroot. [03:05] 14.04 [03:05] The script will do a crontab, right?

This is occuring when I try copying files from one folder to another. There is no "rename" option. Only a skip or replace. But I want RENAME & KEEP? === ubuntu is now known as Guest21343 [03:50] i'm having a lot of input/output errors with cp. Here's my sitch: I have mounted a cifs public folder locally. I need to copy a folder (ntfs formatted) to the cifs. I get "failed to extend" usually, or just a general 'reading' error [03:50] cyberfab007: where are you seeing that message?

[03:53] Guest21343, Tell the channel [03:53] spittingglass, not at all. it's over 2.5 TB left on it [03:54] well, i had ubuntu 14.10 installed along with win7 .. i wanted to re-install ubuntu , i i booted from a usb and went thro the process.. i choose to delete the partition and re install ubuntu ... i ended up losing my whole partition table including my win7 partition as well as the other 2 partitions and now i have my whole 320 GB HDD in one partition .... [03:54] Guest21343: sounds like a nasty accident. [03:54] Guest21343, So you want a recovery? [03:54] for sure i do .. my whole data is there ...

[03:56] csdel: like a drive getting ready to fail [03:56] Guest21343: why don't you just restore from backup? [03:56] zacwalls: like building websites on ubuntu? [03:56] yes [03:56] daftykins: how do i do that ... im not much of an advanced user :$ [03:57] Guest21343, Ah, sounds like user error, we generally show people testdisk. [03:57] zacwalls: there are lots of packages in software centre to build, not sure if we have channel [03:57] oh [03:57] thats too bad [03:57] but i will just have to wait [03:57] zacwalls: if its ubuntu related you can ask here [03:57] Guest21343, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [03:57] spittingglass, it's a networked drive, hence cifs. It is attempting to copy windows type files and folders so i have a feeling it has to do with that [03:58] bubbasaures: i installed testdisk but honestly i dont know what exactly to do , ive reached "deeper search" and now its analyzing, im not sure what to do next exactly [03:58] lotuspsychje: can you point me to the extension for thunar which supports renaming? ive thunar installed but don't get option. [03:58] Guest21343: sudo photorec and scan your whole HD [03:58] cyberfab007: you said it's telling you that the file isn't found. What is telling you that and when/where are you seeing that message? [03:58] jishjish: sorry mate, never used thunar [03:58] Guest21343, Did you have or do you have any sort of backups or images/clones you would of had to do this yourself. [03:59] anyone used any file manager but thunar to rename files. [03:59] spittingglass, I am seeing that message in the email cron sends, it just says [03:59] Guest21343: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761/recover-data-like-a-forensics-expert-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ <- written in a user-friendly way and introduces you to testdisk in a gentle way: [03:59] personalty i was skeptical of changing because i heard your guises last ver of Ubuntu had no firewall.

Thanks , ill dig intowhat u guys advised and see what happened... altho im still worried ill lose my data :/ but ill see [04:03] EriC^^: thanks i'll look at that, does this mean no one using ubuntu often renames files (instead they choose replace or skip). To me "renaming" and keeping both files is such a common operation. [04:03] but my script runs fine via php script.php [04:03] and also compiles with out errors [04:03] Guest21343: if photorec cant get it back, its gone :p [04:03] ie. it's great that pyrenamer exists but why isn't renaming built into the os? [04:03] lotuspsychje: ouch! [04:03] jishjish: oh, you dont want mass renaming i guess [04:03] jishjish: the standard users doesnt need bulk renaming [04:03] Guest21343, Best of luck, get an external for backups. ;) [04:04] jishjish: i think you want to be able to rename the file if it already exists? [04:04] ( when you copy or move ) [04:04] cyberfab007: give full details, preferably on one line, pastebin it if it is more than one line [04:04] cyberfab007: are you sure you didn't make a typo in the directory/filename in the crontab entry? [04:04] Guest21343: the promising news is that photorec can get data back from far away ages :p [04:04] lotuspsychje: what does a standard user need if not renaming files (when copied from one folder to another)? what other basic tasks could they be doing other than web browsing? [04:05] I have seen it do amazing things but yah gotta wait and see [04:05] lotuspsychje: well ive partitioned my hdd like 378932578932 times so im gonna dig in a big huge mess here ... but i guess ill get it all back hopefully... [04:05] jishjish: renaming is standard, but not bulk renaming === ubuntu is now known as csdel [04:05] jishjish: nautilus has this [04:05] csdel: have you tried using rsync instead of course? [04:06] csdel: cp, I mean [04:06] jishjish: if you copy a different file that already exists theres a skip, replace, and theres an arrow above that says select a new name for the destination [04:06] jishjish: if thunar doesn't have this you can sudo apt-get install nautilus [04:06] spittingglass, this command runs fine [04:06] root@deveregroup:/var/www/html/horder0_3# php linkedinscraperedit.php [04:06] it's a very good file manager and one of the oldest [04:07] spittingglass, i'll give that a shot... i have a feeling it has to do with CIFS so I'm going to mount SMBFS instead [04:07] Ben64, sorry man [04:07] EriC^^: thanks ill try nautilus [04:07] cyberfab007: so you're sure you don't have a typo in your crontab entry for it? [04:08] spittingglass, yep , I am gonna delete the entry and do all over again just to make sure [04:09] cyberfab007: actually, I think I see what your problem is [04:10] cyberfab007: put php before the directory/filename, you have it after the directory in your crontab entry [04:10] cyberfab007: so should be: php /var/www/ etc etc [04:11] ahh ok [04:11] does gnome still have the old shell icon for nautilus instead of the unity icon? [04:12] lotuspsychje: apt-get install gnome-flashback [04:12] spittingglass: what does that do? [04:12] spittingglass, I thought since I did chmod +x it would run with out that [04:12] !info gnome-flashback [04:12] Package gnome-flashback does not exist in utopic [04:12] Or if you're talking about just the icon itself, I'm sure it's floating around the Web somewhere [04:13] spittingglass: yeah just wanted to know if the icon is still a shell on gnome [04:13] cyberfab007: it would if you have a shebang php statement at the top [04:14] cyberfab007: the problem is the syntax of your entry though [04:15] spittingglass, I am googling shebag [04:15] cyberfab007: the way you have that entry written in your crontab file, cron is trying to execute a directory with "php" and the script's name as its arguments [04:16] cyberfab007: shebang is the thing at the top of scripts to tell the shell what interpreter to use [04:17] How do you do that? [04:17] cyberfab007: like: #!/usr/bin/php [04:17] ahh [04:18] Is there a channel dedicated to web technologies like HTML5, CSS3, and ECMASCRIPT 5? [04:18] #www is invite-only. [04:18] #web [04:19] Thanks buybacks [04:19] babycakes* [04:19] i look like a babycake now? ok :) [04:19] lol [04:19] cyberfab007: but yeah, pretty sure the problem is the malformed command. The command portion of your crontab entry should read something like: php /var/www/somedir/script.php [04:20] cyberfab007: or just /var/www/somedir/script.php if you have a shebang statement at the top [04:20] I am gonna run the php way first , then edit my script with a shebang statment cause that seems the proper way to do it [04:22] cyberfab007: either way, it doesn't really matter too much [04:23] Well, it's copying better with rsync. thanks for the tip spittingglass. [04:23] csdel: word [04:23] !cookie | spittingglass [04:23] spittingglass: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [04:24] csdel: plus if it fails for whatever reason, you don't have to start all over again using rsync. Can just pick up where it left off [04:26] spittingglass, ok fingers crossed lol [04:27] A cookie but no milk? That's like a day without sunshine [04:27] spittingglass: :p have an ubuntu coffee also [04:29] Hi. Looking to install BEATS AUDIO on my ubuntu 14.04 which is running on my HP ENVY 17.

[04:46] niytro: we don't support non-Ubuntu or ubuntu derivatives - only the different Ubuntu flavors (Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.) [04:46] bubbasaures, maybe ill switch to xubuntu [04:47] yea i might switch then because i cant change my brightness and its just driving me nuts [04:47] more support easily accessed [04:47] gotcha [04:47] thx for letting me know [04:48] niytro, No problem as a group we try to help.

That's why I'm looking for reenabling AMD. If I could simply tweak xorg.conf or something similar, I will be happy with the Integrated graphics [05:13] seems like xorg.conf is deprecated. What is the new way to setup things then? [05:14] iLoveJava: check your additional drivers section to switch drivers yet? [05:14] EriC^^, I got it working with "export DISPLAY=:0" [05:14] thank god im awake [05:14] teaearlgraycold: that's not ssh, that's running something from a tty [05:14] Well I'm using SSH [05:14] and the gui is on the server itself? [05:14] Yes [05:15] I'm not forwarding X [05:15] oh ok, thought you wanted the gui on your machine from a headless one [05:15] oh ok [05:15] Nah, although X forwarding is super mega ultra cool [05:16] k1l: morning [05:16] there are 3 options: opensource driver, fglrx and fglrx-updates [05:16] hi all [05:16] iLoveJava: test them, what works best for your machine [05:17] Anyone know why Ubuntu doesn't have openssh-server installed by default? [05:17] lotuspsychje, the window says I have open source drivers enabled. But the glxinfo output says:OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2. Do you know how to select active graphics card? [05:18] teaearlgraycold: the standard users dont need ssh [05:18] I mean set something like default card option in xorg.conf? [05:18] hello there [05:18] iLoveJava: can you pastebin lshw -C video plz? [05:18] It just seems so standard and useful. And it's got a small footprint. [05:18] lotuspsychje, are there really that many "non techy" Ubuntu users? [05:19] teaearlgraycold: if ssh was installed by default, standard users with have to install fail2ban also to avoid the bruteforce hammering all day [05:20] teaearlgraycold: if you dont use it, no need for standard install [05:20] Shouldn't fail2ban be part of the SSHd? [05:20] Seems pretty helpful and important [05:20] !info fail2ban | teaearlgraycold [05:20] lotuspsychje, http://paste.debian.net/140151/ [05:20] teaearlgraycold: fail2ban (source: fail2ban): ban hosts that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.13-1 (utopic), package size 131 kB, installed size 654 kB [05:21] I'm familiar with it [05:21] iLoveJava: you have your amd card disabled in bios? [05:21] no such options [05:21] lspci shows my card too [05:21] teaearlgraycold: security packages are also not standard, as its the user itself responisble for security === ubuntu is now known as Guest99665 [05:22] Okay - I'll accept it if this is because of some general precendence [05:22] iLoveJava: doesnt show your amd card? [05:22] lspci does show my amd card [05:22] 03:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Sun XT [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8690M] (rev ff) [05:23] iLoveJava: doublecheck bios settings, its weird lshw doesnt show [05:24] teaearlgraycold: lets say someone wants to ssh on local network (without internet) it doesnt need fail2ban [05:24] How can I configure custom settings for my display? [05:24] lotuspsychje, i got my SSD firmware updated, running good!! [05:24] bynarie: great mate! better speeds now? [05:25] absolutely [05:25] thanks to you [05:25] nice one, no sweat :p [05:25] =] [05:25] bynarie: did you tweak from my channel? [05:25] no, I'm pretty sure there is no options. On linux mint, I used to switch using fglrx-cccle. On windows also. [05:26] iLoveJava: try some driver from your list and reboot, see what it does [05:26] I have already selected the opensource driver from the list. does nothing [05:26] System information lists AMD graphics under pci devices [05:27] Intel is shown as VGA controller but AMD is shown as Display Controller. make any difference? [05:27] iLoveJava: yes, but lshw shows your intel card with i915 driver active [05:27] strange [05:28] iLoveJava: maybe the ##hardware guys might know more info on your grafix switch for your machine [05:28] thanks lotuspsychje [05:28] let me check === zero is now known as Guest18783 [05:32] hey all. Wanting to correct my black background in "GNOME with Cairodock". been reading tutorials and it's brutally confusing. help? 14.04 [05:32] morning. this is super off topic however i am wondering if i an running a 32bit os can i run in vmware 64 bit systems? [05:33] robin_, That makes no sense. [05:34] There is a GUI "Gnome with Cairodock"... not gnome, not KDE, but "Gnome with cairodock". It's got a black background... the gnome foot with three dots below. It's a static background and I cannot change it. [05:34] sambagirl: i think it needs the same architecture [05:34] robin_, YOu want the cairo de to do this? [05:34] sambagirl: what are you trying to do exactly? [05:34] lotuspsychje, if I have two Device section in xorg.conf, how does X server know which one to select? [05:35] http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Cairo-Dock%20Session&lang=en [05:35] i in the past have run 64bit but this one laptop is 32bit. i wanted to run a 64bit os in vmwarre basically, [05:35] iLoveJava: i think ubuntu selects the one, active in bios [05:35] hmm [05:36] iLoveJava: normally, it doesnt need xorg tweaking mate [05:36] can someone suggest an alternative for GRUB [05:36] !lilo | vishnu_ [05:36] vishnu_: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. [05:36] vishnu_, What distros are you booting? [05:37] Hi vishnu_, I'm an Indian [05:37] sambagirl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/180761/can-i-use-virtualbox-with-a-64-bit-image-in-a-32-bit-host [05:37] Ubuntu [05:37] vishnu_, So why no grub? [05:37] wow nice [05:38] thanks [05:38] lotuspsychje [05:38] sambagirl: np ; ) [05:38] I am a new user, kinda looking for better looks [05:39] vishnu_: you can change the background, lilo is stone age boot loading [05:39] vishnu_: you can tweak grub themes [05:39] ohh i dint know that. Thanks [05:40] vishnu_, Heh, well at this rate we will wait here for your broken setups. ;) [05:40] what the menu for when you press "alt" buttom? [05:40] mehdi__: it's called the hud [05:41] mehdi__, It is a command gyui [05:41] gui* [05:41] EriC^^ and bubbasaures , it says type command what command ? [05:41] mehdi__: of the program you're running [05:41] and shows the application icon too [05:42] type something it will auto complete for you [05:42] hi all [05:42] like join if you're in xchat [05:42] it doesnt do anything [05:43] i have configured a cups printer server with ubuntu 14.04 workstation all things is work good but in windows client printing speed is slow [05:43] it's over rated anyways [05:43] Hi HOw to change the hostname in terminal "user@user-Satellite-C640:~$" to something short and simple [05:43] inerkick: just in a terminal? [05:44] mahdi_ja, it usually becuz samba protocol is slow you need to configure it [05:44] !hostname | inerkick [05:44] inerkick: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [05:44] everwhere [05:44] inerkick: That's your hostname (the long bit) so you can either change your hostname, or make it not displayed in your prompt anymore. [05:44] inerkick: so you want to change the pc's hostname [05:45] mehdi__, i use cups [05:45] how to do that Flannel [05:45] inerkick: Which one? [05:45] yes EriC^^ [05:45] follow the link above [05:45] "user@user-Satellite-C640:~$" this one to something short [05:45] where is link EriC^^ [05:45] i mean the directions above [05:46] about /etc/hosts and /etc hostname EriC^^ [05:46] yes [05:46] I often connect wifi is most of the cafe so have to change this. Will it be better to change [05:46] mahdi_ja, no different if u use cups or use printer in settings menu the protocol that it uses for communicating to windows is SAMBA(smbd) [05:46] yello [05:47] to make it more anonymous EriC^^ [05:47] Hey guys new to linux [05:47] ya [05:47] Flannel, [05:47] mehdi__, and how i can correct it [05:47] !ubuntu | backbox [05:47] backbox: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[05:49] if i connect to wifi anywhere will it reflect the new hostname Flannel [05:50] i heard there might be issues later if i change it hence concerned Flannel [05:50] inerkick: No, there's no problems changing your hostname when its done correctly. You have to change it twice, just like what that factoid said. [05:51] can I use the get command to install aticonfig, pls [05:51] i use ubuntu in desktop , and i am using a usb modem. how can i share my internet [05:51] using a router [05:51] RNeville: yeah it's something like amdsomethinccc [05:51] !find cc [05:51] Found: account-plugin-aim, account-plugin-facebook, account-plugin-flickr, account-plugin-google, account-plugin-jabber, account-plugin-salut, account-plugin-windows-live, account-plugin-yahoo, accounts-qml-module-doc, accountsservice (and 539 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=cc&searchon=names&suite=utopic§ion=all [05:52] !find ccc [05:52] Found: libisccc90, libxcb-icccm4, libxcb-icccm4-dev, fglrx-amdcccle, fglrx-amdcccle-updates [05:52] amdcccle, yeah was just pondering that name [05:52] anonymous_: share internet to who? [05:52] you means hosts and hostname isn't Flannel [05:52] i want to make wifi zone using router @lotuspsychje [05:52] lotuspsychje: must mean modem instead of router, so using the PC as a router [05:52] I have amdcccle installed, but net aticonfig [05:52] anonymous_: look into hostapd, perhaps [05:53] is it work fine ?

Made some progress today, but now when I cut the 1036 files from Desktop to paste into a preferred directory, the File Operations Moving 1036 files to "Preferred Directory", seems to have frozen and not make progress?

[05:59] the main error seems to be "failed to set up ibs" [05:59] daftykins in this case it is a trackpad [06:00] ibs? irritable bowl syndrome? [06:01] didnt know a kernel could get that [06:01] Flannel EriC^^ I changed hostname to "user@newname:~$" but i still get user name.

[06:26] anyone, has anyone got anything constructive to say about it ? [06:26] nope [06:26] What is the correct way to source a file on .bashrc? [06:27] it tells me I need to add "source ~/.profile" and "source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh" to my .bashrc file. But I have tried lots of way and still doesn't work [06:27] anyone know what is the correct way of going it? [06:29] my phpadmin not working [06:29] IPhoton, try using absolutely path instead. [06:30] Add source /home/$USER/whatever [06:31] do I need to surround it in quotes? [06:32] IPhoton, no. [06:32] Well it seems to recognize the files, but then the terminal just crashes [06:32] it freezes actually, until I do CTRL+C [06:33] but it works if I source it from terminal [06:33] obviously it gets remove the second I restart terminal [06:36] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH MY KERNAL PROBLEMS [06:36] ANYONE [06:36] IM DIEING [06:36] AND NOONE KNOWS ENUFF TO HELPS [06:36] !caps | swordsmanz [06:36] Ah crap, I forgot the command.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [06:40] to reiterate [06:40] im getting a "failed to set up ibs" error on kernals later than 2.17 [06:41] 3.17 * [06:41] 2.13 works tho, but dose not have some device support iu need [06:41] 3.13 * [06:42] * swordsmanz waits patiently in hopes that someone prehaps NoobsFlyVFR or ubottu will help [06:43] This is a known bug inherent to 3.1x kernels, that renders AMD's IBS unusable, swordsmanz. [06:43] Did you try updating to latest kernel, swordsmanz? [06:44] NoobsFlyVFR *nods* the latest one i tryed is 3.19 [06:46] i want to add this command to startup: setxkbmap -option grp:caps_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp us,ir [06:46] I'm using Ubuntu-Gnome [06:46] Tweak-tool > Startup> does not work ?! === coolsa_ is now known as coolsa [06:47] frenda, open terminal, type sudo gedit /etc/rc.local [06:47] And add setxkbmap -option grp:caps_toggle,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp us,ir [06:47] Make sure the script ends with exit 0 [06:47] frenda, use the system startup applications gui [06:49] swordsmanz, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [06:49] bubbasaures: ! There's not anything with that name on Gnome [06:49] I know that there is a patch out for the IBS failure issue, and patched in kernel 3.16 and above. [06:49] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/312899/ [06:49] NoobsFlyVFR: done. I'll restart and check it. thk [06:49] frenda, Yeah there is startup applications is on my version I use the shell. [06:49] Good luck, frenda. [06:52] NoobsFlyVFR 14.04 [06:52] /detach [06:52] That is odd. I use AMD myself and never ran into that problem. [06:52] pdx, god damn spacebar, eh? [06:52] !language [06:52] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [06:53] yeah stupid tablet lol [06:53] This should work, right [06:53] http://pastebin.com/XW2hjjYZ [06:53] ? [06:54] I'm using this guy's dotfiles btw, I cleaned them up a bit [06:54] https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles [06:54] swordsmanz, I suggest you try doing a sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle-updates and also get the amd catalyst drivers. [06:55] Im dual booting ubuntu and windows [06:55] IPhoton, looks perfect. [06:55] :/ then why doesn't the darn thing work [06:56] it works when I source it from the regular interactive terminal [06:56] siplphone, and? [06:57] IPhoton, could you try using your username instead of $USER and also temporarily change the umask to 022? [06:57] And see if it works? [06:57] Should i install linux x64 (amd64/em64t) display driver [06:57] ? [06:58] what do you mean use the umask to 022? [06:59] NoobsFlyVFR is there a simple way to switch to a 2.x kern and mightt that fix it ? [07:00] IPhoton, http://www.linuxnix.com/2011/12/umask-define-linuxunix.html [07:00] siplphone, I would run what's in the ubuntu repos and come in through updates/upgrades or is in the additional drivers tab in software & updates. === jack is now known as Guest31319 [07:00] It changes the permissions of default new file or folder creation. [07:03] swordsmanz, well, if you have both kernel installed, what you could do is gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [07:03] And change the grub_timeout to -1. [07:03] And then do a sudo update-grub [07:03] hello [07:04] It displays Grub without it booting any particular kernel. [07:04] If you don't already have previous version of kernels installed, you can run the command sudo apt-get install linux-image-<2.x>-generic linux-headers-<2.x>-generic, swordsmanz. [07:05] I'm trying to get Zorin working on a dell D830. I have it installed but the wireless doesn't appear to be working. Is this a known issue?

[07:07] but... I'm not so sure [07:07] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=960628 [07:08] tried both things NoobsFlyVFR, still doesn't work [07:08] my default umask was at 0002 [07:08] where that article seems to say that usually it's at 0022 [07:08] Peppi, Broadcom? [07:08] lol not sure [07:09] the hardware is unknown to me [07:09] going to check dell [07:09] Peppi, We can't help you, however if you run lspci it will show you the hardware, good luck. ;) [07:10] but zorin is ubuntu [07:10] Peppi, Sure and if I help you we will both be yelled at, just a channel rule is all. [07:10] a ubuntu derivative [07:11] ok - what have i missed - i cant connect via ssh across my land [07:11] lan [07:11] the server is started [07:11] I think you should take that risk:P [07:11] I gave you a big chunk of steak to work with [07:12] knowing the hardware [07:12] btw yes it's a broadcom [07:12] al_nz1, try doing a sudo service ssh restart [07:12] And then ps -A | grep sshd [07:12] To verify that ssh daemon is, in fact, running. [07:12] BCM4312 [07:13] how can I tell what version of ubuntu I have running? [07:13] Peppi, You are not running ubuntu. [07:13] sure I am [07:13] lsb_release -a [07:13] in terminal [07:13] Zorin, sir, is not Ubuntu. [07:13] zorin boiled_marmite [07:13] ugh Zorin ): [07:13] I tried that once.. [07:13] NoobsFlyVFR: its running [07:13] well look at that [07:14] al_nz1, great, now check if it's listening for incoming connections. [07:14] By typing sudo ss -lnp | grep sshd [07:14] I thought zorin was ubuntu with some minor changes :P [07:14] You should get lines that look something like: [07:14] 0 128 :::22 :::* users:(("sshd",16893,4)) [07:14] cat /etc/lsb-release ..probably, but this channel does not provide support for porin [07:15] Zorin makes me sad [07:15] That is off topic and irrelevant, boiled_marmite. [07:15] cmon I'm an orphan noone is in #zorin :( [07:16] I did tell you how to check the version Peppi... [07:16] also, google. [07:16] Did it work, al_nz1? [07:16] yup zorin release 9 :/ [07:16] NoobsFlyVFR: cant ping other LAn clients or gateway [07:16] notwork config screwed I think [07:16] but google etc loads ok [07:17] " It is based on Ubuntu which is the most popular desktop Linux operating system in the world." [07:17] :) [07:17] where is the network config file located again? [07:17] Ubuntu is based on Debian, but its not debian. [07:18] and do u rly like the way how is going ? [07:18] to be honest ...I run debian [07:18] nice to meet u all [07:19] Peppi, You remember me mentioning what you install and support level, especially just starting linux? [07:20] how do I check the gateway for wlan1 [07:20] "Zorin OS is a multi-functional operating system designed specifically for newcomers to Linux" :P [07:21] al_nz1, ifconfig -a [07:21] Peppi, That is an opinion of the developer. [07:21] very little support that is the issue [07:22] This is among one of the things that I very much dislike about linux. Ridiculous, unnecessary amounts of forking. [07:22] guess I'll just figure it out myself I guess [07:22] you can't get it here and we do not like people whomdo not understand this and argue [07:22] linux is just fine ;-) [07:22] OpenSSL was just fine, and then they forked LibreSSL out. For no reason at all. [07:22] Peppi, I told you how to check what version you are using [07:22] So is the case with X.org and Wayland/Mir. [07:23] boiled_marmite: I did [07:24] if I were you thought I´d start with Ubuntu or Mint, much better support. [07:24] fedora, arch, debian and several others have big support systems [07:25] Arch is not for noobs, it says so on index of their website x) [07:25] ya tried mint... it worked out of the box [07:25] true [07:25] figured I'd try something else [07:25] boiled_marmite: well that's just the developers opinion [07:25] people claim to start there, one never knows [07:26] Peppi I run three computers running arch. it´s made to be easy for those who know and love the terminal, the rest can go sod off. [07:27] lol that should be the catchphrase for linux [07:27] I find Ubuntu easier then windows, so does my grandmother. But this is for off topic, not here. [07:28] quick question , when I run a crone job , say php /var/www/html/myscript.php [07:28] when I run it again 1 minuet later , if the first cron job is not done running [07:29] ubuntu just treats the process as seprate one right [07:29] hi [07:29] anyone help me [07:29] think I'll try this http://zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3293 [07:30] good for you Pe [07:30] Peppi [07:31] hello [07:31] ?? [07:31] Peppi, http://guide.bash.academy/ [07:31] hello ra [07:31] rao [07:32] the man pages say if there's no password set in /etc/shadow, you can login with no password. but I'm still prompted for a password, and when I hit enter (empty password), I get an auth failure [07:33] odigity, did you login without a password? [07:33] I attempted to. I failed. [07:33] But according to the man pages, it should have worked. [07:34] It says if /etc/shadow contains empty string in that field, it lets you login without a password. (I tried using both su and ssh) [07:34] odigity, You have a desktop, if so which? [07:35] 14.04.1 [07:35] odigity, unity? [07:35] odigity, YOu can do that from the user gui [07:35] actually, I'm doing my testing in a vagrant VM, but it's built off ubuntu server 14.04.1, so I assume it should be the same [07:36] odigity, Do you have a desktop, or just a server? [07:36] bubbasaures, I'm not actually trying to "do" anything specific. This is a learning tangent to understand /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, passwd/useradd/usermod commands, and related matters (setting false shells like /sbin/nologin and how it all works togehter) [07:36] odigity, Ah, good carry on. [07:37] I'm on Ubuntu Desktop. I'm running Ubuntu Server in a Vagrant VM. I'm doing the testing in the VM. But I'm going by the man pages on my desktop because they're not installed in the VM. So, I guess if there's a difference in behavior between desktop and server for ubuntu 14.04, that might explain it. === Mongey_ is now known as Mongey [07:38] Nope, no difference. Just tested on the desktop directly, and behavior still not following that which is documented in the man pages. [07:39] Isn't that a big deal? [07:39] yaya looks like I got wifi working [07:40] http://zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6416 [07:40] if anyone cares :) [07:40] Luke Skywalker does. [07:41] odigity: the actor or character? [07:41] because both would impress me [07:41] It's a line from star wars. "I care." -- Luke [07:42] lol [07:42] let the wooki win [07:42] odigity, If the channel saw all your work in a pastebin we might be able to comment on the man. [07:42] bubbasaures, ok, gimme a sec to try to put something legible together [07:43] odigity, Not to me I'm just saying in general, [07:43] odigity, Kinda slow at this time though, I'm not seeing the big guns right now. [07:44] bubbasaures, boiled_marmite -- there's not much to show, really: https://gist.github.com/odigity/7b8febc3c58fa5322606 [07:45] what's the story with flash and linux? [07:45] Peppi, adobe abandoned it, all hail HTML5 [07:45] Peppi, not supported by adobe for some time, there is pepper flash as well. [07:45] eeep [07:46] bubbasaures, boiled_marmite -- " This field may be empty, in which case no passwords are required to [07:46] authenticate as the specified login name." (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/shadow.5.html) [07:46] is there a trick on youtube to only get the html5 version? [07:47] yes Peppi, set it in your used account controls [07:47] or whatever it´s called [07:47] kk [07:47] Chrome for Linux still comes with flash though [07:47] it´s a sort of hacked flash, but flash. [07:48] firefox does to on this ubuntu based version I'm using [07:49] only if you have canoical partners enabled in source list [07:49] odigity, lucid man, try looking at the one on your release. [07:50] or is this a lucid vagrant? [07:50] bubbasaures, no difference: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man5/shadow.5.html [07:50] no, I'm on trusty all the way [07:51] I can only assume the su and ssh programs are choosing not to allow you to login with an empty password. It does say in the man page: "However, some [07:51] applications which read the /etc/shadow file may decide not to [07:51] permit any access at all if the password field is empty."

[11:49] well you're not even really running ubuntu [11:50] Guest3833: try to install 14.04 clean and see if you have same sound problems [11:50] Ben64, I am technically the the envirornment is non standard.

[11:52] finish06: try fdisk -l or parted maybe to see drives? [11:52] sudo fdisk -l only shows 3 of them also. [11:53] finish06: you sure its not a hardware problem then?

Now it doesn't boot, i get the busybox prompt, i see the initramfs mounted, but seems it can't mount the root or boot partition [12:30] I tried everything i found on google [12:31] deavid, most sane solution: download 14.10 .iso and clean install [12:31] I don't want to format and lose my data [12:31] i'm getting this error "lxc-attach: failed to get the init pid", when creating user with "sudo lxc-attach". Can anyone help me out [12:31] !home | deavid, [12:31] deavid,: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [12:31] how can i take a file and make a zero'd copy of it? (ie, the same size in bytes, but it's just zeroes) [12:32] deavid: how did you go from 14.04 to 14.10 ... with aptitude [12:32] cfhowlett, Is 14.10 supported for long ? [12:32] deavid, move your /home to a dedicated partition [12:32] yourbeau: until july 2015 [12:32] yourbeau, only 9 months .... LTS for the win! [12:32] short term ? [12:32] what is the sense of making a short term supported release ? [12:33] thanks for the help ppl [12:33] yourbeau: if you want long suppport use lts. thats it [12:33] ok [12:33] ararob: look at shred, i think it has an option to fill a file with zeros [12:33] yourbeau, there are many reasons ... up to the operator to choose bleeding/bloody edge or long term support [12:33] Ben64, thnx [12:33] i was the one that wanted help getting a computer with ubuntu on it that was a uefi computer now its working just fine [12:33] yourbeau: if you go for 14.10 or other non-lts you need to upgrade all 6 months in a row then [12:34] ok [12:34] I like LTS [12:34] 14.04 LTS is amazing [12:34] ararob: truncate [12:34] how do i tell if my verison is lts? [12:34] joshuagrut: "lsb_release -d" [12:34] yourbeau, my method: LTS only and I wait for the first point release to upgrade [12:35] ararob: truncate -s 10K ~/bla [12:35] joshuagrut, 12.04 and 14.04 are currently supported. 10.04 server is good for a few more days [12:35] i think it uses zeros by default, make sure [12:36] he he yay i have lts [12:36] cfhowlett, LTS only seems fine idea ; I like your idea; What do you do to secure your OS ? [12:37] joshuagrut: every 2 years there is an LTS, so if you know one LTS version you can work out the rest [12:37] ararob: otherwise you use dd if=/dev/zero to create arbitrary sized files [12:37] too bad i cant buy a shirt that is ubuntu symbol on it [12:37] joshuagrut: you can [12:37] i don't have money for that now [12:37] lol [12:37] or i would [12:37] yourbeau, I'm in China. Even if my laptop is secured, I assume my android phone and all net traffic can be traced/tracked. that said, I avoid stupid sites, I enabled firewall, and I have 2 accounts: an admin account for super user stuff and a regular desktop account for daily driving [12:37] joshuagrut: Canonical has merchandise with the mascots on [12:38] yourbeau, that plus regular update/dist-upgrading. so far as I know, I've not been compromised. [12:38] EriC^^, well, that would entail having to name them exactly like the originals, what about just doing $ > file in a shell? [12:38] if i had 1,000,000,000 dollars i would spend half of it on developing ubuntu [12:39] cfhowlett: tor could help you in surfing the net :-) [12:39] ararob: i'm confused, do you want to securely delete data or create an a file of a given size using zeros ( that's what i thought ) ? [12:39] cfhowlett, ok, any encryption ? [12:40] pksadiq, the great firewall has become amazingly effective recently at killing tor, vpn type stuff. [12:40] joshuagrut: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=14 [12:40] EriC^^, no, just zero out the files, but keep their size [12:40] yourbeau, yeah, but I'm the only person on my computer so ... [12:40] knock knock!!... anybody know how to create a user in lxc. If yes pls let me know [12:40] cfhowlett, but it is good ; since there is very bad state of human rights in China [12:40] EriC^^, they are video files, which wont work in a game [12:41] they might take away your laptop and beat you up with a bamboo stick if they want [12:41] is it true ?

In Gentoo it's done via gcc-config but there is no such executable in ubuntu [13:53] DrSlony: maybe update-alternatives? [13:53] same thing. Here is what I did: I downloaded the ISO (original) and then burned it. Both it and my remaster have the same result. Both boots by default don't run with the code. I just pres Esc->Esc->f6->Esc to get the prompt in both versions. I am also using two separate DVD-RWs === joshuagrut is now known as joshuagrutsch [13:55] xubuntu2139: And then you enter "toram", and boot it?

I did this several times. I always left the computer alone after pressing enter for it to boot up to desktop. I remember having this problem before on another secure boot computer. (using I think 12.10.) Perhaps it is secure boot and the error is before Ubuntu has the chance to boot up. I'm talking about BIOS level stuff. I never thought of that one before. I think I may just cancel my 14.10 [14:03] download to try out what I have in mind. [14:04] thanks kamil_ [14:05] thanks bekks for that. You just caused me to think of something out of the box.

[14:51] Hey [14:52] hey guys i am getting error when building drivers for my tbs card [14:52] What do you mean, "connect"?

[14:55] VimFleed: It will have a phone icon near it with your device name. [14:55] yea I set it to MTP and the file manager doesn't recognize it [14:55] Mhh. [14:55] VimFleed: Well, alternatively, are you on wi-fi? [14:55] VimFleed, and set the usb settings on the PHONE to "mass storage" [14:55] cfhowlett: Support for that was dropped in Android ages ago. [14:55] theadmin, OK [14:56] cfhowlett, tried every single option and didn't work [14:56] VimFleed, wifi. airdroid. [14:56] cfhowlett: Reason being that with this mode you can't access the SD card from the phone and the computer at the same time, leading to weird results if you have, say, a ringtone set that resides on the card [14:56] theadmin, yes I'm on wifi [14:56] VimFleed: Then install "AirDroid" from Google Play [14:56] VimFleed: Run it and follow the instructions [14:56] anyone [14:57] theadmin, the problem is that the play store is blocked in my country [14:57] ...Yikes.

[14:58] VimFleed, adb-tools [14:58] VimFleed: Just open the link on your phone? [14:58] so connect the phgone to a proxy? [14:58] theadmin, how about sending it to an email? since I don't have an irc client on my phone [14:59] or shorten it so I can type it in the phone browser [14:59] dre I'll try that [14:59] VimFleed: Sure, will do [14:59] cfhowlett, Googling that [14:59] theadmin, thanks man [15:00] VimFleed, sorry, forgot about no connection. for the record: android-tools-adb is an ubuntu app for android device manipulation and management [15:01] how can i set up a simple file share on two ubuntu computers [15:01] cfhowlett, I'll install it [15:01] VimFleed: Sent [15:01] but only on a private network [15:01] joshuagrut: Ubuntu does not have the concept of "private" and "public" networks [15:01] That's a Windows thing [15:02] joshuagrut: To share a folder, just go to properties -> sharing [15:02] ok so how do i set it up === __prefect is now known as nha === biledemon is now known as mgkfgyk [15:16] hi can anyone help? just swapped harddrives, previously had ubuntu on a PC, and I want to install ubuntu again. I have a live usb for ubuntu 14.04 but when I choose it in the bios (USB-HDD) It takes me to GRUB where I can choose the previous Ubuntu installation.

[15:24] CJKay, volume control on the headset?? [15:24] There's no mic volume control on the headset [15:24] Without microphone boost it is so insanely quiet [15:25] I just solved the boot-line problem I posted earlier today. I last suspected it was related to the BIOS. The strange part is this: I changed the date to one year ago, and my system now boots the original with the boot command. My remaster still didn't work, which was a remaster of a remaster (3 layers). I burned the original remaster, and that worked. Two layers are good enough for me. I'll just use the original image for every [15:25] remaster instead of remastering remastered images. I switched the BIOS date to now, and none of it works (even original), so I switched it again. Secure Boot apparently does more than what it is supposed to ("legacy" settings). This is good to know for future troubleshooting. I am using Ubuntu 14.04, and this happened to an earlier version on another Secure-Boot computer (I think 12.04).

If it doesn't, you didn't (or something else is wrong). [18:07] bubbasaures: but it strange because at the begining 5 minutes before it was working [18:07] yepla, Have you logged out than back in? [18:07] bubbasaures: I´m not sure what you mean, sorry. [18:07] bubbasaures: yes and it was change [18:07] now it very very small [18:07] Kale1, front is the beginning of a partition. [18:08] bubbasaures: Oh, I get it. [18:08] bubbasaures: I am not sure. I saw something about it when I performed a sudo update-grub [18:08] Kale1, Moving the front will brick it generally [18:08] For some reason, workspaces don't work for me on Ubuntu 14.10. Even if I right-click on the workspace indicator and select 4 workspaces, I can still only use one. Any tips? [18:08] bubbasaures: And how can I do that? [18:09] Kale1, do what, if you used the windows partitioner it wont let you I would think. [18:09] bubbasaures: Would manually adding the entry to the trick? I think it should. [18:10] Kale1, Im using Win 10 ( beta testing ) with EasyBCD + something like 8 Linux partitions. It's very easy, Grub2 runs all the *Nix installes, BCD runs the Windows boot. [18:10] Kale1: Worth a try [18:10] Hi i need some help. I have Ubuntu 14.04 and Nvidia 750Ti card. When i installed ubuntu (several mounth before) i add xorg-edgers/ppa and installed nvidia drivers. But now ubuntu switch to xorg mesa drivers. I don't know how it happened. I try to reinstall nvidia drivers (no effect). [18:10] Kale1, You never know till you try, I have not had to ever do a manual add so it would be googling for me. [18:11] Can´t I confirm if it works before trying it? http://askubuntu.com/a/211077 [18:12] Kale1, When you resized windows did you do a reboot to it and let it run the auto chkdks? [18:12] chkdsk [18:12] bubbasaures: No, I did not run chkdsk. [18:12] should've resized from Windows :( [18:12] "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." < is there some flag I can pass to apt-get to have it tell me more information about this, like which packages or something? [18:13] Kale1, I would do that first if it were me. [18:13] daftykins, THey used the windows partitioner [18:13] ah ok :) please ignore me, i am still chasing away sleep. [18:13] Haha, the last time I ran chkdsk, it corrupted my HDD. [18:13] daftykins, heh your help is always fine. ;) [18:14] Kale1, Funny that is a major NTFS...etc windows files normal run. [18:14] chkdsk is often a bad idea [18:15] compdoc, Prove that, empty claims here are not helpful. [18:15] compdoc: Well, if it goes wrong, it certainly goes wrong :P [18:15] MaNI, try dpkg --get-selections | grep hold and then installed the held pkgs, or you could: sudo dpkg --configure -a followed by sudo apt-get install -f [18:15] MaNI: THere is a policy command that I've seen here but am not familiar with. apt-cache policy maybe? [18:16] poilicy justs tells you the state of a given package [18:16] s/policy [18:16] bubbasaures: So what should I chkdsk? C:/ (Windows)? [18:17] Kale1, JUst an option, windows has not finished what it does automatically. [18:17] ki7mt, I tried that before and didn't get anything [18:17] bubbasaures: You mentioned that it was automatically, right? I can´t tell if it was ran or not, so I assume that it didn´t. [18:17] MaNI, tried what before? [18:18] dpkg --get-selections | grep hold [18:18] Kale1, I think your two main options are the grub add and a chkdsk, the grub add may boot it to it, hard to say, we can't tell if windows is problematic till a chkdsk. [18:19] I'm hitting this in the middle of an automated build with a build bot - build bot is doing dpkg-query -W -f '${Package}\n' | xargs -n 50 apt-get install --reinstall -y -d and it spits out that error somewhere in there, struggling to find more info on why [18:19] bubbasaures: ...and he can't run chkdisk until he can boot to windows. [18:19] jhutchins: That´s no problem. [18:19] It just doesn´t show in Grub 2 [18:19] :( [18:20] jhutchins, Right, we have not asked i there is a recovery or install disc is all. [18:20] #python [18:20] MaNI, In that case, clean, autoclean, autoremove, then try you install - f again, or sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/ and see where that takes you. [18:20] :| [18:21] jhutchins, Note I labeled add grub than chkdsk, it would ran if booted. [18:21] Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode. [18:21] Kale1, From where are you doing this? [18:21] I ran chkdsk using CMD with admin priviledges [18:21] Kale1, Where?> [18:21] Windows 8.1 [18:22] ? [18:22] Kale1: Has to run at boot to be able to fix errors. [18:22] ki7mt, ^^ if you read above the problem is that the output it gives from running the above gives me no indication of that is [18:22] chkdsk can do maintenance when theres no hardware issues. its not useful when sectors or other hardware goes wrong. Ive seen it happen too many times that chkdsk can cause damage , and Kale1 has just proven that. you dont just start running chkdsk - you take steps to detemine the problem, and then decide to use chkdsk. telling ppl to use it first is dumb [18:22] jhutchins: And how will I do that? :S [18:23] Kale1: I'm not familiar with w8, but in previous versions go to disk properties and tell it to check the disk. It should complain that it can't check it live and offer to do it at next boot. It does that with a filesystem flag the bootloader sees (much like linux). [18:23] compdoc: I lost some valuable photos and videos, but oh well, I probably wouldn´t look at them again anyway :P I should´ve made a cloud back-up. [18:25] compdoc, That is an assumption there is no real proof there, you are familiar with the scientific method I assume. [18:25] MaNI, you need to fix the lists in ../var somehow, maybe: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf && sudo apt-get update [18:25] Kale1, sorry to hear that [18:26] jhutchins: I see: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/guide-to-using-check-disk-in-windows-vista/ [18:26] It doesn´t show it on Win 8.1 though [18:26] I only see ¨scan drive¨ [18:26] It scans... [18:26] And then it says that is fine. [18:27] that it´s fine* [18:27] Kale1: Just run "chkdsk /f" from an admin command line [18:27] theadmin: Ouch, brings bad memories. Are you sure? [18:28] Man, Windows CLI sucks xD [18:29] I´m used to BASH. I have no idea how to look for help, idk where to find man pages and also my most favourited feature is missing: autocomplete [18:29] Oh well, I don´t use CMD a lot anyway :p [18:29] Some things are nice, like GOTO commands in scripts, but by an large, yeah, CMD is not to slick [18:30] so i've installed refit and an ubuntu os alongside os x 10.10, but when i boot, it can't ever find the ubuntu partition. how can i fix this? [18:30] what do you mean you don't know where to find man pages? "man " or "man " or google them online? [18:30] Kale1: ^ [18:30] use bro pages [18:30] daftykins: on Windows (command prompt) [18:31] help is /? [18:31] Kale1: ah i see. well in Windows land, which is off topic here (##windows) you run "command /?" to learn syntax. [18:31] Kale1: Yes, that's correct [18:31] ki7mt: Possibly. I tried -h, -help, /h, /help xD [18:31] whomp, 10.10 is eol not supported [18:31] Kale1: I don't know the GUI way and never bothered to learn it, Windows usually automatically checks filesystems if they are broken anyway [18:31] bubbasaures: that's OS X 10.10 yosemite i believe [18:31] so it could be chkdsk /? [18:31] i'm running ubuntu in virtualbox, would it help (speed up) moving disk file to ssd? [18:32] I´m just going to manually add the Windows entry and hope it to work. [18:32] bubbasaures, how do i deal with this? and yes, that's yosemite [18:32] bumbar1, sure [18:32] if the disk is whats slowing it down [18:32] whomp: well you don't actually need rEFIt, which is actually old and deprecated anyway. you just need to resize the HFS+ volume then boot media and install after, then GRUB will handle it. [18:33] whomp, Never heard of yosemite is all, sorry about that. [18:33] bumbar1: yes. [18:33] bumbar1: fast disk = fast VM. [18:34] the jail people are at your place [18:34] Darn it. [18:35] ¨error: file `/EFI/microsoft/BOOT/bootmgfw.efi` not found. Press any key to continue... [18:35] Kale1: backup your data then yes, it is either "chkdsk /f" if you're already at C:\> - or it's "chkdsk /f c:" to explicitly state the disk. you can also run without -f to see if it even finds any issues (read only scan) for full info it's "chkdsk /?" like i said. this comes from years of experience. but you still shouldn't be asking for Windows support in an ubuntu channel [18:35] hello [18:36] Kale1, I suggested the chkdsk, as you had said you had not rebooted upon doing the resize, you had not noticed that the point was booting windows to see it run, It was not apparent at first you were in W8. [18:36] hello ishan [18:36] daftykins, should i remove refit somehow? should i reinstall the os, which has no important data atm? [18:36] Hi Eric [18:36] how are you? [18:36] whomp: yep that'd be a method worthy of trying [18:36] ok ty :) [18:36] bubbasaures: I did boot to Windows, but I don´t think that it ran chkdsk. [18:37] Kale1, W8 runs a really fast chkdsk, could it be you did not notice. [18:37] ishan: great, you? [18:37] I am also good [18:37] bubbasaures: Yea, it´s also on an SSD, so it might have ran. [18:38] Kale1, Your in it, so it does seem to be grub would be where to work. [18:38] Akright, I am going to run chkdsk /f [18:39] You may want /F /X so it dismounts if needed. [18:39] Meh [18:39] It will ask you to reboot anyway [18:39] Kale1: You can't fix a disk you're booted from. [18:39] If it's a system drive [18:39] ki7mt: I´s my Windows partition, run in Windows. How would that work? :S [18:39] jhutchins, Not true. [18:39] it'll offer to schedule a disk check on reboot [18:39] jhutchins: Exactly what I thought. [18:39] hey daftykins, this says i should use refit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation [18:39] Kale1: for the love of Tux just go and run it already [18:39] Kale1: You can, it'll just ask for a reboot [18:39] in fact, those are the instructions i followed that got me to this point [18:40] Alright, chkdsk /f /x it is :p [18:40] Kale1, ^^ what he said above. [18:40] jhutchins, I would not do it unless forced, but commonly done by MS help. [18:40] whomp: yeah, most of the pages are actually ancient [18:40] daftykins, is there a more updated guide? [18:41] daftykins: You´re right. It did ask for a check on reboot [18:41] I saw a black screen and then I immediately saw the login screen. I can´t tell what happened :| [18:41] Should I now run update-grub again? [18:42] chkdsk logs from boot scans can be found in the Event Viewer (start -> run -> 'eventvwr' -> enter) [18:42] Kale1: sudo parted -l [18:42] Kale1, W8 has a modified setup for checking the disc, it does it as well daily while running. [18:42] unless you change that time I think [18:43] daftykins, Thanks for your help here I think you got it. [18:44] I've got some weird problem when installing latest Ubuntu on a Laptop. When the window where i am to chose my location, a popup with questionmarks appear. [18:45] daftykins, how should i do it, if this guide is outdated? [18:45] Palsson: did you checksum the iso? [18:45] EriC^^ No but i've downloaded it several times. And my friend got the same problem on this laptop [18:46] !mac [18:46] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [18:46] whomp: Grub has worked with efi since at least 2007. [18:46] Kale1, for what its worth, I just found this on an Intel blog about SSD's and chkdsk for Win.: "SSD's are different than hard disk drives. SSD's automatically remap worn bits using wear leveling technology" [18:46] EriC^^: sudo parted -l gives me: ¨Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sda¨ [18:46] jhutchins, so i leave refit alone and install grub? [18:47] whomp: Yep. [18:47] !efi [18:47] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [18:47] jhutchins, ty :) [18:47] whomp: I don't know if the current install guide has mac info or not. [18:47] ki7mt: And now in English? xD [18:47] install guide for grub you mean? [18:47] It's not needed not would ity do anything [18:47] EriC^^ i can check the checksum but i don't think that is the problem. [18:47] ki7mt: Ah, OK. [18:47] Do anyone have issues with amd proprietary when using it with a apu? [18:48] jhutchins, ^ [18:48] whomp: Install guide for Ubuntu. [18:48] there's this one, but daftykins says it's out of date https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation [18:48] Well, I have no idea what to do next. [18:48] !install guide [18:49] Sigh. [18:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [18:49] Kale1, like said earlier, easiest solution I've found with Win/7/8/10 is EasyBCD [18:50] Palsson: maybe try installing lubuntu? [18:50] Kale1, and it's free: https://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/ [18:50] ki7mt: Many people have done standard installtions without any extra software. [18:50] I dont disagree [18:50] ki7mt: Hmm, I´ll give it shot. I remember that I tried that software to dual-boot UEFI, but I had no luck. [18:50] Palsson: it asks about the language and stuff first [18:50] OOOOh yes you do! :))) [18:50] Palsson: then purge lubuntu and install the ubuntu-desktop [18:51] Kale1, Are you in ubuntu? [18:51] bubbasaures: I just was. I keep switching :p [18:51] EriC^^ so it will be ubuntu in the end ? [18:51] yeah [18:51] Palsson: Are you using something other than english as the default language? [18:52] which ubuntu version are you trying to install? [18:52] Kale1, Cool, I was away and missed the parted -l you ran, that was my winder. [18:52] Palsson: you could maybe try the minimal cd install too [18:52] wonder* [18:52] jhutchins i don't get to the point where i get to chose language [18:52] EriC^^ jhutchins http://askubuntu.com/questions/455511/dual-boot-ubuntu-14-04-and-windows-7-on-fakeraid-installation-error-question-m [18:52] That's the same issue, but the anwser there isn't helping me [18:52] Palsson: Have you tried the text install (advanced)? [18:53] jhutchins no i have not [18:53] Jinete [18:54] OK, I am now on Windows with EasyBCD. In the menu entries, I see Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Windows Boot Manager, UEFI: Network IPv4 Device, UEFI: Network IPv6 Device, Windows 8.1 (default = yes, all others no) [18:54] Kale1, Nice thing with W8 is it has a reset, and refresh built in as a last resort. [18:54] The weird thing is that it shows ubuntu twice === drewdrew is now known as Guest19130 [18:55] Oh, I see. One loads \EFI\Ubuntu\grubx64.efi and the other \EFI\Ubuntu\shimx64.efi [18:55] jhutchins i have to raid disks which i don't know what they do, should i format them or are they needed ? [18:55] Kale1: did you install ubuntu once with secureboot off once with it on? [18:56] Kale1: what's up if you dont mind me asking? [18:56] EriC^^: That´s possible, yes. [18:57] EriC^^: With what exactly? [18:57] what are you trying to do? [18:57] EriC^^: Grub 2 doesn´t find Windows 8.1. [18:57] Can someone help me. i install nvidia-331 drivers but kernel still use xorg mesa drivers. [18:57] Kale1: ok, but ubuntu loads normally? [18:58] And a less important issue is that ¨ubuntu¨ and ¨windows¨ show twice in the boot menu. [18:58] EriC^^: Correct. Windows too, but it just doesn´t get listed. [18:58] Kale1: you mentioned a missing EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi file earlier [18:59] Kale1: that's literally what boots windows [18:59] EriC^^: http://askubuntu.com/a/211077 [18:59] I got it from that. [18:59] so not from your pc? [18:59] I manually tried to add an entry to Grub [18:59] EriC^^: No, Windows runs fine by loading it from the boot menu. [18:59] ok, nevermind then [19:00] Hello! [19:00] ArgylePw1age: Hi [19:00] How's everyone doing today! [19:01] Kale1, Besides here the best help really I have seen is at the ubuntu forums, couple of people there who do this daily. Getting the bootinfo summary using bootrepair would help them if posted. [19:01] Kale1, If you do this with bootrepair, only run the bootinfo summary on the first gui [19:02] Kale1: did you try to update-grub from ubuntu? [19:03] Anyone here using Squid3 in transparent? [19:05] ki7mt, end result - it seems to be because that command was picking up a package marked for 'deinstall' [19:05] vmbuilder removes the package when it makes the vm but it remains listed as deinstall instead of completely removed, forcing it to be completely removed seems to fix the issue [19:05] anyway thanks === Stu|[A] is now known as Stu| [19:07] Sorry, I went to the toilet. I am back. [19:07] EriC^^: Yes, I tried it several times. [19:10] hello ppl =) [19:10] niytro: Hi === mahmoud is now known as Guest47557 [19:11] MaNI, I would guess that is a pre-remove script issue in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ === Shadow_Knight is now known as Guest68680 [19:13] boot-repair shows some messages including: ¨GPT: Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk.¨ [19:14] amd GPT: 0x1dcf5fff != -x1dcd61ff [19:14] and* [19:14] 0x1d..* [19:15] Kale1, Are you shutting windows down completely, or using the hybrid sleep/hibernate? [19:16] bubbasaures: As I am aware, I shut it down completely. [19:16] I forgot something though... I didn´t shrink my Windows C:/ partition for Ubuntu. [19:16] I shrunk my D:/ [19:16] Which is not an SSD [19:17] It shouldn´t matter though, should it? [19:18] Kale1, Has to be shutdown is all. D are you sure it is another HD? [19:18] jhutchins, so how would i install grub to do this? keep in mind that i don't currently have any way of booting to my existing ubuntu partition [19:19] bubbasaures: I am certain. Windows is in C:/ on the SSD. Ubuntu is on one of the HDD partitions. [19:19] whomp: i already told you, just boot from the flash drive/DVD of ubuntu - with empty space at the end of the disk after OS X, then install :) [19:19] daftykins, i did that already [19:19] Both are primary [19:19] my issue is that i can't boot to the partition now [19:19] whomp: what partition? i'm saying ubuntu install media [19:19] Kale1, Your syntax is is confusing is all, do you have more than one HD? [19:19] 1x SSD 256 GB, 1x HDD 750 GB [19:20] daftykins, i've already installed ubuntu using a flash drive. the issue is that i can't get to the installation [19:20] I made 3 paritions from the SSD and 2 paritition from the HDD [19:20] whomp: right but did you remove rEFIt yet? [19:20] daftykins, no i'll do that [19:20] whomp: hold left alt after the boot chime then see what boot options you get. [19:20] Kale1, Thanks I would be curious to see the boot info. [19:21] !bootinfo | Kale1 [19:21] Kale1: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [19:21] hey guys Im in Lubuntu looking for a good weather applet? === explosiv- is now known as EriC^^_ [19:22] Kale1: That is basically the same as the bootinfo summary on bootrepair. [19:22] Kale1: hey [19:22] EriC^^_: Hi [19:22] Kale1: are you in ubuntu? [19:22] Yes, I am. [19:23] Kale1: can you paste sudo parted -l in paste.ubuntu.com? [19:23] niytro, there's lots of them, take your pick: http://www.howtogeek.com/118908/10-awesome-indicator-applets-for-ubuntus-unity-desktop/ [19:23] EriC^^_: I mentioned earlier that it gave me this error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sda. [19:23] niytro, My Bad, sorry, Lubuntu ..let em go look. [19:24] EriC^^_: It also says: ¨Retry/Ignore/Cancel?¨ I have no idea how to pick an option though [19:25] daftykins, ok i uninstalled refit, then hit l-alt on boot and still i don't see the ubuntu partition, just my mac os and the flash drive [19:25] I tried ¨r, retry, y, n, (enter)¨ and then I just CTRL + Z´d out of it. [19:25] ki7mt, there was a really good one I liked in LinuxLite but I dont know what it was called [19:25] Kale1: try sudo blkid [19:25] Hi there =) [19:25] Kale1, That command will change nothing [19:26] the previous parted that is Kale1 [19:26] Has anyone here experience with gpg, I'm pretty new to this cryptography [19:26] EriC^^_: And you want a paste of that? Alright, sec. [19:26] Bek1: I think you´re in the wrong channel :3 [19:27] Thought so too - but couldn't find anything related to security? [19:27] niytro, it would appear, that several of the applets work on LUB also, but, you may have to test them, which you may not want to do. [19:27] Kale1, Many of the questions we have asked are covered in this bootscript for the record [19:27] whomp: perhaps you don't have GRUB installed [19:27] daftykins, ok what do i do? [19:27] Kale1, which channel would you recommend me? [19:27] Bek1: try out ##security [19:27] ki7mt, okay im just looking for them [19:27] Bek1, try #crypto [19:27] Hi! [19:27] Ah, this actually exists? [19:28] Bek1 Or #ubuntu-offtopic if it´s ubuntu-related. [19:28] whomp: wow, for the third time? boot from your flash drive again and reinstall in the blank space (perhaps after deleting the existing partitions with gparted) [19:28] Ok, I'll go for security - hope it'll work out there [19:28] Thanks =) [19:28] niytro, Having said that, the Lubuntu desktop is going though allot of changes in the migration to LxQT I think it is, so a particular app may not work on all the supported releases. [19:28] daftykins, the reason i didn't do that is because i'd already done it. except if not having refit installed makes all the difference, which i didn't know [19:29] whomp: this was how our conversation started so i figured you were going to head off and try that :) [19:29] ki7mt, oh okay, yea I just installed lubu 14.10, im on old hardware [19:29] daftykins, ok well now we're on the same page, brb reinstalling [19:29] :) [19:29] ki7mt, but I heard that change was coming [19:30] EriC^^_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9713782/ [19:30] raid [19:30] bubbasaures: From boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9713760/ [19:31] bubbasaures: Fakeraid, to be specific :) [19:31] bekks, Heh, thanks I am not really familiar with raid. ;) [19:31] Kale1: type sudo mount /dev/sdc2 /mnt [19:31] is cairo doc still available for ubuntu 14? === xubuntu is now known as Guest12913 [19:32] EriC^^_: OK, and then? [19:32] niytro, I think LXQT it's still on Launchpad as a daily PPA or something, as an alternative DE, but I've not installed 14.10 to mess with it lately. [19:32] Kale1: pastebin cat /mnt/etc/fstab [19:32] Kale1, You ran a repair to get that script. [19:33] bubbasaures: Yes, that´s what you first asked me. [19:33] EriC^^_, how u doing ? manage o install both systems finnaly [19:33] bubbasaures: Excuse my slowliness :p === Guest12913 is now known as revo [19:33] anyway carry on you have better help than me. I said specifically to run the bootinfo summary is all and whewre it is. [19:33] revo: hey [19:33] col [19:34] EriC^^_, :) [19:34] *cool [19:34] niytro, Here's some more info on it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/lubuntu-users/2014-October/008662.html [19:34] EriC^^_, starting to get the hang of this, after many attempts..install and unistalls [19:34] :) [19:34] EriC^^_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9713812/ [19:35] ki7mt, thank you [19:35] EriC^^_, i can see u on the help call out...ill chat u later... [19:35] revo: ok, talk to you later [19:37] gents, can some one help me out here, just installed Oxygen-transparent and had error displayed on terminal...was following his tutorial http://www.thepowerbase.com/2013/03/how-to-install-oxygen-transparent-in-kde-4-10/ [19:38] i've got my server set up with an open-ssh server listening, and on my windows machine i can putty ssh into it (using a putty-gen key). I tried to save a private key from this in OpenSSH format, and took it to my ubuntu box, but i'm getting a Permission denied (publickey). not sure how to double check this, or save the key in the proper format. anyone know? [19:38] ubuntu server as well as client OS that i'm trying to get connected with [19:40] Kale1, hopefully the others here look at the repair done, I wonder if you're not fixed, have you run a update-grub after? [19:40] bubbasaures: Yes, like 6 times. [19:41] Kale1, Cool, not really knowing fake or any raid I wondered, and the correct boot files added. [19:41] gents, can some one help me out here, just installed Oxygen-transparent and had error displayed on terminal...was following his tutorial [19:41] ah - turns out it's just my config file not set up properly [19:42] http://www.thepowerbase.com/2013/03/how-to-install-oxygen-transparent-in-kde-4-10/ [19:42] http://www.thepowerbase.com/2013/03/how-to-install-oxygen-transparent-in-kde-4-10/ [19:44] Does anyone know of a good dock that can replace my panel? I am using Xubuntu. [19:44] nicholas, Concky [19:45] nicholas, I like the cairo-dock, but it is a bit large ads stuff to have it's own desktop, there is docky as well. [19:45] I tried cairo-dock once, but it changed all my windows [19:45] window decorations* [19:45] nicholas, http://www.webupd8.org/2014/06/conky-manager-gets-revamped-ui-new.html [19:46] nicholas, If you boot to it that happens, otherwise in your regular desktop it is a dock./ [19:46] nicholas, im using his one and u thick what u want changed [19:46] hello people i am new to this forum...is this where the geeks meet [19:46] I don't think conky is a dock [19:46] it is a desktop widget [19:46] jediwan: IRC != forum? [19:47] nicholas, docky is a dock [19:47] Docky is wonderful, except that the battery monitor doesn't work :-( [19:47] well i am new to irc @Kalel [19:47] jediwan, Some like being classified some don't remember. ;) [19:47] nicholas, concky is another add-on i guess [19:47] jediwan: well.... this is where people that are troubleshooting stuff and look for help / people to chat with about similar topics come, yes [19:47] nicholas, chk link http://www.webupd8.org/2014/06/conky-manager-gets-revamped-ui-new.html [19:47] but yeah... not a forum [19:47] jediwan: Cool. Welcome. Try #ubuntu-offtopic great people there. [19:48] I'll try cairo-dock [19:48] oh nice..i am a budding linux user...i love it [19:48] gents, can some one help me out here, just installed Oxygen-transparent and had error displayed on terminal...was following his tutorial [19:48] sudo apt-get install cairo-dock, right? [19:48] http://www.thepowerbase.com/2013/03/how-to-install-oxygen-transparent-in-kde-4-10/ [19:48] nicholas, yeah [19:48] ok [19:48] revo: the number one flaw with your question is that it doesn't include a pastebin of whatever error(s) these are... are we meant to guess? second - #kubuntu would be more useful for KDE perhaps [19:48] has anybody tried compiling there own kernel and got errors with qt? [19:49] nicholas, Nice thing is apps can be purged so "follow your bliss" [19:49] jediwan: that's a very broad question. you'll get more effective feedback asking about some specific aspect of that process [19:49] ok bubbasaures [19:49] daftykins, i believe we talked about this one in the past, but icant remenber what i can install on xubuntu [19:50] daftykins, what is the pastebin command so i can retrive this error [19:50] revo: you're trying to put KDE software on xfce? ok that is definitely not a wise move [19:50] nicholas, also look at: apt-cache search --names-only cairo-dock there's other cairo packages. [19:50] ok nice but thanks...well i am writing a driver to drive graphics using gnome......thanks again [19:50] bubbasaures: jhutchins: ki7mt: Ty for your time. I am going to give up for today. Perhaps that I will post some pastebins to the forums. [19:50] just a random question, how come applications are smaller when I purge/remove them that when I install them? [19:50] daftykins, ok, how do i revert change already done ? [19:50] Kale1: can you give the link again? it's the same as the earlier one [19:50] EriC^^_: ? [19:50] revo: no it doesn't work like that, if you're running something and it errors - copy and paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com - but don't highlight me because i don't know anything about this software [19:50] Kale1, post that script at the ubuntu forums [19:50] Kale1: the cat /mnt/etc/fstab paste [19:51] EriC^^_: Yes? [19:51] should I use openGL in cairo dock? [19:51] Kale1: can you paste the link to it [19:51] daftykins, ahhh, ok, problem i already closed terminal...how do i get this error message back on? [19:52] revo: *facepalm* - you remind me of my mother. "i saw an error, i don't know what it is, it was yesterday. what's wrong with it? can you fix it?" [19:52] what is the problem [19:52] daftykins: haha - yeah, my mom does that to me too [19:52] ololol [19:52] EriC^^_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9713909 [19:53] nicholas, more info: http://cairographics.org/OpenGL/ has some broken image links on the page though. [19:53] wow I <3 the ciaro-dock app menu! [19:53] laught on guys, but once the force is strong in me, ill be able to also master my ubuntu moves [19:53] :) [19:53] :) [19:53] Kale1: sudo mount /dev/mapper/isw_djjhdccddg_Volume0p2 /mnt/boot/efi [19:53] revo: there's usually logs, somewhere, that would record your error message [19:54] oh yeah look at these settings :-) [19:54] how to cange my terminal glass [19:54] revo: but nobody can help you until you find it, and let us know what it is [19:54] revo: please don't take it as intentionally rude, just i'm sure you can see the lack of use of saying you saw an error without being able to share it [19:54] Kale1: or sudo mount -U 98CF-7DF1 /mnt/boot/efi [19:54] #ubuntu-uk [19:54] EriC^^_: Alright, I did the second. === Flai is now known as fs0i [19:55] mordof, daftykins no way guys, gud sense of humor is always a must when sorting system out [19:55] :) [19:55] Kale1: ok, type ls -l /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ === Shadow_Knight is now known as Guest18566 [19:55] thx, ill try to chk this error and come back after [19:55] Kale1: is bootmgfw.efi there? [19:56] EriC^^_: Yes! :) [19:57] Kale1: ok, if you type sudo update-grub [19:57] Hi. I have a weird problem. I have a netbook with a freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04. If I use the gnome-character-map there I have no problems displaying the Character "U+1F4E1 SATELLITE ANTENNA". On my desktop it won't work. It does work in Chrome / Firefox on my netbook, but it doesn't on my desktop [19:57] Kale1: it doesn't mention Found .... windows ... bootmgfw.efi on .... [19:57] ? [19:57] EriC^^_: I don´t see ¨windows¨ [19:57] what's it say after the linux kernels? [19:58] Font is in both cases "Sans", but no font I tried worked on my desktop [19:58] EriC^^_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9713944/ [19:58] The weird thing is, is that Ubuntu is found twice. Something with ¨shimx64¨ if I remember. [19:59] anyone know how to get a battery monitor in cairo dock? [19:59] nicholas, Have you looked in the configure? [19:59] Hello, I need to add subtitles to a .avi file, anyone knows a way to do it?

[20:01] kokut: What did you try? [20:01] kokut: http://askubuntu.com/a/97984 [20:01] Kale1: is bootmgfw.efi all lower case? [20:01] !crunchbang | georgi Sorry that's off topic here [20:01] georgi Sorry that's off topic here: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes.

[20:03] nicholas, search cairo with battery, I have one here. [20:03] Kale1: is there a bcd dir in /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft ? [20:03] called power manager nicholas [20:03] in google bubbasaures?

[20:04] nicholas, Cairo has a search, you need the advanced moide bottom left of config [20:04] worked great! [20:04] EriC^^_: Do you remember that I told you that I tried to add the entry manually? http://askubuntu.com/a/211077 [20:04] nicholas, Yeah looks nice, enjoy. [20:04] EriC^^_: Does the case matter? [20:05] I really appreciate your help1 [20:05] EriC^^_: ¨Microsoft¨ was lowercase. [20:05] what do you do [20:05] Hello [20:05] hello [20:05] nicholas, You did most the work, but happt to be there. [20:05] AxldenieD: Hi [20:05] Kale1: i think so [20:06] EriC^^_: Let´s say that adding it manually works (I didn´t check with the uppercase M for Microsoft). Why wouldn´t update-grub work? [20:06] Kale1: i think it matters, grub is case sensitive i guess [20:07] Kale1: you added it in 40_custom? [20:07] EriC^^_: Yes [20:07] that's not how you add an efi file [20:08] Kale1: hey [20:08] xd [20:08] Kale1: its taking ages.. 40 min to transcore and its only adding subtitles [20:08] how to change exploler in linux mint [20:08] how can i move the panel bar from the bottom to the top? [20:09] kokut: It permanently adds it. So whenever you open it, it should add the subtitles. [20:09] LXPanel [20:09] ararob, xubuntu? [20:09] anywhere progam [20:09] ah [20:09] bubbasaures, LXDE [20:09] Kale1: man its hardcoding the subtitles which is exactly what i need but its taking too much time, 40 min [20:10] bubbasaures, lubuntu i mean [20:10] kokut: Is it just for one file? [20:10] ararob, easily done I believe there is a gui, but would have to google it [20:10] I would have to that is [20:11] EriC^^_: How would you add an EFI file then? [20:13] ararob, Panel Setting >> Panel Preferences [20:13] oh thnx! ki7mt and bubbasaures [20:14] oHai guys ;) Can anyone reference a decent guide to get my Radeon R7 series to talk to my ubuntu machine? ^^ [20:14] someone online of Chile? [20:17] Hello, anyone knows how to add subtitles to .avi file using mencoder? [20:19] kokut, It's a bit ol,d but may still work: http://www.linuxandlife.com/2012/11/use-mencoder-add-subtitles-to-videos.html [20:19] Kale1: this is my win8 entry http://paste.ubuntu.com/9714037/ [20:20] Just about my problem again: http://i.imgur.com/x5qoW53.png and http://i.imgur.com/2men9Hq.png. The first one is from my desktop, the second one from my netbook. What is the problem on my desktop? lsb_release -a is 14.10 for both computers. However, the desktop was upgraded from 14.04. [20:20] One PC supports it, one doesn't. [20:20] Kale1: i think you need the search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 9094-CDF4 , part, not sure [20:21] Kale1: replace the 9094.. with your uuid 98CF-7DF1 [20:21] Kale1: i dont know how you could get the hd0,gpt1 part without entering the grub prompt and running ls -l [20:22] ki7mt: thanks man, i think its going much faster now than with Arista, its giving me a bunch of errors tho [20:22] kokut, There's lots of how too's floating around for it, I'm not a vid expert by any means. [20:23] its going @300 frames per second [20:23] EriC^^_: I´m not sure if I understand the search part. [20:24] fs0i, That is a live icon? [20:24] Kale1: what do you mean? it's purpose? [20:24] EriC^^_: How to perform it. [20:24] how to remove a package like openbox with all its dependencies ? [20:24] for example openbox does install others apps [20:24] bubbasaures: That is an unicode-character. Like "♪" [20:25] yourbeau, How did you install it? [20:25] fs0i, Ah, just curious. [20:25] Kale1: try to add the whole thing and replace all the 9094's with your uuid [20:25] wont hurt [20:25] ki7mt, I install e17 and openbox and it did install a lot of other packages [20:25] hi, I need help with case http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=hAGFfHE9 I only want it to work if it matches ab or any number of the characters a to d, anything else is taken by *). But I dont know how to do the any matching of a to d.. any ideas? [20:25] I don't know how to emove it completely [20:25] bubbasaures: Same page for this: http://imgur.com/VnOMQ5T.png [20:26] Kale1: how did you get your efi's hd0,gpt designation? [20:26] EriC^^_: You got me to a point where I´m not following it. I just copied http://askubuntu.com/a/211077 [20:26] fs0i, I was just wondering if that icon just needs a copy to the other, if static. [20:27] yourbeau, SOmeting along the lines of: sudo apt-get purge openbox obconf obmenu [20:27] not sure the actual syntax in this area is all [20:27] yourbeau, But use at your own risk :) [20:27] Kale1: ok i dont think that would work [20:27] bubbasaures: It isn't an icon in the traditional sense. It is more like a character in a font. On my desktop it's missing (not only this one, many) but on my netbook it isn't [20:27] Kale1: you need the efi partition's hdx,gptY [20:28] yourbeau, The after, sudo apt-get autoremove [20:28] Kale1: the problem is that with the raid thing i have no clue what it is [20:28] RAID0 SSD? [20:28] it's called /dev/mapper/.... right now [20:28] fs0i, I see, not anything I really know fully, just was curious. [20:29] but i dont know what grub calls it, you could hold shift when you boot to get grub, press c for a command line, and type ls -l , it should list all devices and uuid's [20:29] EriC^^_: If you´re interested in RAID, I highly recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLSJnsNUufw&ab_channel=ProfessorMesser === mist_ is now known as mist [20:29] hey bubbasaures, know how to make the digital clock's font bigger? When I edit the font size, nothing happens. [20:29] EriC^^_: So what you suggest is to add the entry manually with hdx,gptY? [20:29] nicholas, Heh, let me see if I can. [20:30] yes, use the win8 entry i pasted above, and change my uuid to yours [20:31] Kale1: i mean to get the proper hd,gpt and use it [20:32] EriC^^_: We have a language-barrier here. I´m sorry. [20:32] nicholas, Not sure, I think it would be a resize on all the fonts is all. [20:33] hey [20:33] ok [20:33] nicholas, take a look here. http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=A+complete+tutorial+on+how+to+customize+your+dock&lang=en [20:34] thank you bubbasaures, that will be helpful [20:34] yeah seemed like good overall [20:35] The fix was to find a font that supports those characters. sudo apt-get install ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola [20:35] Kale1: this is my win8 entry http://paste.ubuntu.com/9714037/ , paste that in your /etc/grub.d/40_custom , and modify all the 9094-CDF4 numbers in the file to 98CF-7DF1 , that's your efi partition's uuid, then restart your pc and hold shift to get the grub menu, press c to get a command line, then type ls -l, it will list all the partitions and the respective uuid's, search for 98CF-7DF1 and get it's hdx,gptY designation [20:36] Kale1: replace my hd0,gpt1 with whatever it turns out to be, in the 40_custom file [20:37] !info ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola [20:37] ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola (source: ttf-ancient-fonts): Symbola Unicode Font for Ancient Scripts and Emoji characters.

[20:43] EriC^^_: And now update-grub, right? [20:43] whats the lightest copy of ubuntu should i install on an atom nettop via usb stick [20:43] i tried the full ubuntu bbooted from usb too slow [20:43] EriC^^_: Still not found :( [20:43] Kale1: did you get your hd,gpt from grub? [20:43] EriC^^_: Yes, it was hd0,gpt4 [20:44] pastebin 40_custom [20:45] lubuntu or the ubuntu mini cnnx [20:45] whats missing from xubuntu? [20:45] what did they remove [20:46] cnnx, the lightest is lubuntu lxde/openbox [20:46] EriC^^_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9714245/ [20:47] одноклассники.ru [20:47] bazhang: does it have firefox [20:48] cnnx, not by default, you can easily install it though [20:48] куда я попал? [20:48] Kale1: i'm not sure if it matters why grub didn't find windows but change --hint-bios=hd0,gpt1 --hint-efi=hd0,gpt1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,gpt1 to gpt4 [20:48] same method.. apt-get install firefox? [20:48] Kale1: i think something else is going on, it's worth a shot anyways [20:48] yes [20:49] !english | helen_ [20:49] helen_: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:49] bazhang: it should be faster than windows7 starter on the nettop? [20:49] cnnx, just a rough estimate I would say yes [20:50] bazhang: also, i dont want to wipe out the recovery partition of the windows computer, can i install everything on the main partition? [20:50] or does it need seperate partitions [20:50] EriC^^_: May I ask you something? [20:50] yeah [20:50] EriC^^_: Who is the man? [20:50] cnnx, the installer should handle that safely [20:50] it worked? [20:50] EriC^^_: :D [20:51] !ru | helen_, ubutntu support is where [20:51] helen_, ubutntu support is where: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [20:51] cool :D [20:51] EriC^^_: Thank you very much. [20:51] bazhang: im used to gentoo.. not sure how other distroes do stuff in the background thats why i asked [20:51] Kale1: no problem [20:51] cnnx, ok [20:52] Kale1, Cool man nice to see you up and running. ;) [20:53] bazhang: does lubuntu have networkmanager installed so i can use wireless connection [20:53] There is one graphical issue though. [20:53] cnnx: Yes [20:54] Hello [20:55] if the topic is lightweight Ubuntu: what about using standard Ubuntu with i3wm? [20:56] raingloom: lubuntu got stuff alreaady running like zram. [20:56] helen_: Hi [20:56] so i would start with lubuntu and then choose one even more lightweight desktop. [20:56] raingloom, http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/i3-wm [20:58] EriC^^_: This is how it looks like when loading: https://i.imgur.com/xuZ1AmP.jpg xD [21:00] heya [21:00] sergio-br2: Hi [21:00] anyone using f2fs on a SSD ? [21:00] hi Kale1 [21:01] what is the preferable place to enter wireless settings for them to remain permanent [21:01] network manager. [21:01] zak_, Context? server desktop, which desktop? [21:02] bubbasaures, xubuntu 14.10 desktop. [21:03] zak_, Thanks, you see a manager in the top panel? [21:04] bubbasaures, Yes. Have not found a place to enter a custom MTU, nor where to register the country code for the wlan card [21:05] for some reason, the driver uses GB instead of the correct NO as country code [21:05] so sudo iw reg set NO does the trick, but needs to be reset after each reboot [21:06] or retyped, rather [21:06] :) [21:08] Likewise, sudo ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1520 keeps the wlan stable, but also needs to be reentered after a reboot. [21:08] For the life of me, I cant remember where to put these to make it stick [21:08] so to speak [21:10] EriC^^_: So I had this GUI issue, right? https://i.imgur.com/xuZ1AmP.jpg I fixed it by changing the background to black: http://askubuntu.com/a/82223 [21:11] Grub 2 is now black, but who cares :p [21:12] xubuntu 32bit 14.10, wlan card is a rt2561s, using the rt61pci driver [21:13] Hi.

[21:13] swordz: Did it work before? [21:13] When I move my mouse to the right hand side of the screen, it *just* appears on my 2nd monitor - but won't go any further [21:13] I've just plugged my 2nd monitor back in [21:14] why is my USB to serial converter not showing up? http://pastebin.com/cfkWU6WX [21:14] Kale1: Sorry, that's misleading [21:14] First time it's been plugged in with this computer. === andre__ is now known as Guest47410 [21:15] Evenin' folks [21:16] daftykins, bubbasaures , any pointers?

[21:16] bubbasaures: Even though it does know which side it's on? [21:17] swordz, I repeat I can't help. [21:17] Urgh, PEBKAC [21:17] Just went to Displays as asked, been so long without 2 monitors I'd forgotten about sticky edges... [21:18] swordz: Haha, no worries :p [21:18] happy to hear it sorted itself out, swordz :) [21:18] Sorry, just been through a succession of tricky hardware issues, just assumed it was something similar! [21:19] This however was Ubuntu working perfectly :) [21:20] is there a config file of sorts for ifconfig / iwconfig settings for wlan0? [21:22] Hello, I just installed ubuntu to my harddrive off of a livecd, and when I log onto it, I get the message disconnected you are now offline. I have googled it, seen it is not too rare. However I have failed so far to try and fix it [21:23] Unnice, you connect to the network by wifi? [21:23] yes [21:25] ok, first, Unnice, do you know what kind of chipset your wlan adapter uses? Is it an internal card, or a USB dongle? [21:25] internal card [21:25] what does lspci tell u? [21:26] Unnice: maybe a driver issue .. Do you have access to a wired connection to permit downloding/installing the WIFI driver ? [21:26] would you like all of the information zak_? [21:26] And no I do not Bashing-om [21:27] Unnice, just the chipset for the wlan card [21:27] something like this: 05:04.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI [21:28] Hmm guys, I'm confused. I'm running 14.10 and I installed the ssl-cert package expecting the files ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and ssl-cert-snakeoil.key to be added to /etc/ssl/certs, and the .pem was, but the .key file wasn't. How do I get it? [21:29] Network controller: Broadcom Corporaion BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02) [21:29] Unnice, first check that the package linux-firmware is installed === andrex is now known as andrex|off [21:30] zak_: pointers for what? [21:30] It is installed [21:30] Even when I run `make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil`, the /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key file doesn't get added. [21:31] good. [21:31] then check linux-firmware-nonfree [21:31] Nevermind, I had the wrong path. It looks like it's /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key. [21:32] That is not installed [21:33] nevermind your chipset should be supported by the first package anyway [21:34] does dmesg give you any pointers to why your card does not come up?

[22:08] derpboy, you could use https://rufus.akeo.ie/ rufus === andre__ is now known as Guest15388 [22:09] zak, wlan0 settings? [22:11] hey anyone using cairo-dock? if so, I have a question. can I make the system monitor show the cpu usage larger? [22:12] skweek will this make the other space on the usb stick (it's 32gb) available for backing up data? [22:12] skweek, specifically - where do i put the settings for MTU size, apart from adding ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1520 to my /etc/rc.local file? [22:15] My 10$ question: Is all packages available in the official ubuntu repos are checked and compiled by someone who is working at Canonical or they only put the pre-compiled binaries that they are receiving from developpers without too much questions asked? [22:16] laserbeak4445: Open-source software has MANY eyes looking at it before anything is 'put into the repos'. [22:16] laserbeak4445: you need to be trusted to get permissions to upload packages to the repos. [22:17] k [22:17] k1l: the packages are compiled by bots in a datacentre [22:17] So, there are MANY questions asked constantly by large groups of people. You yourself are open to pose these questions too if you wish you contribute to a FOSS project. [22:17] er, laserbeak4445 ^ [22:17] lasers: depending on the exact repo there are different limits/restricions to get that trust. [22:17] laserbeak4445: no guarantee with universe packages [22:17] popey: Oh... I forgot about those... ;D [22:18] and who actually compiled the binaries? [22:18] laserbeak4445: a bot [22:18] laserbeak4445: in the build farm https://launchpad.net/builders [22:18] well yeah, talking about code that will be made into the packages. building is automated on ubuntu servers. [22:19] k thanks for the answers guys :) === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] [22:20] whats going on fellas [22:27] Hi everyone. I tried to modify, and create my own live-CD with the tutorial on ubuntu.fr. When I did it, and rebuilt squashfs, and if I want to install this distribution on a computer, does it install my own live-cd, or the default ? So, if I install for example bleachbit, it would be installed when I'll install with the live cd on a new computer ? [22:28] hi all =) [22:29] i installed my-weather-indicator on my lubuntu and a setting i changed killed it, how can i completely remove all files and configs so that i may reinstall? [22:30] niytro: -> sudo apt-get purge my-weather-indicator <- should do that . [22:30] Bashing-om, thanks gonna try [22:30] Bashing-om, do i need reboot? [22:36] hi [22:36] hi [22:36] can anyone tell me where to go to get help with mac software? [22:37] the #Mac seems to be invite only [22:37] (not ubuntu mac, just mac) [22:37] ##mac, though it requires nickserv registration to join [22:37] !register [22:37] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [22:38] ahh okay, thought I needed to be invited to the channel, nvm then, thanks for the help :-P [22:40] freenode gives the wrong error message if you try to join a channel that's +if (forwarded) to another channel that you can't join [22:40] hey [22:41] I am using wget to access a web application, also supplying parameters in the URL [22:41] inside the browser, it works fine, but when using wget, the parameters seem to be ignored... why? [22:41] voltei [22:42] ActionParsnip, [22:42] eae === subzero_ is now known as slslslsl [22:42] Mathis: wget does work with parameters. Try taking the URL in quotes. [22:43] theadmin: does it matter which quotes? [22:43] hello [22:44] Mathis: ...meh. Use single ones, is usually safer [22:44] Why amixer is not installed with alsa-utils [22:44] ? [22:44] !find /usr/bin/amixer [22:44] File /usr/bin/amixer found in alsa-utils [22:44] theadmin: thanks, that worked [22:44] Hm. [22:44] alsamixer works [22:45] Mathis: The reason is most likely the ampersand (&) between parameters [22:45] but if I type amixer I get command not found [22:45] Since that's a special character in bash [22:45] niytro: Was away from the keyboard .. all good now ? Did you re-install my-weather-indicator ? [22:45] I suppose the & was the reason [22:45] heh, two stupids, one oppinion %-} [22:46] Bashing-om, i did the purge, rebooted and reinstalled but it still wont run. i did notice it still has something trying to autostart [22:46] I have ubuntu 14 x64 [22:46] my program uses amixer to control sound === dmb_ is now known as dmb [22:47] but amixer seems not installed with alsa-utils [22:47] I even removed alsa-utils and reinstalled [22:49] niytro: Bummer, get anything usefull in terminal when you start 'my-weather-indicator' from terminal ? [22:49] Bashing-om, command not found [22:51] !find amixer [22:51] Found: alsamixergui, gnome-alsamixer [22:51] Bashing-om, i was root when i did the changes, does this make any difference? [22:52] niytro: Humm .. then looks like 'my-weather-indicator' is not the system ame ?? .. did it install to the /opt directory ? waht returns -> ls -al /opt <- see if we can get the proper name . [22:52] niytro: 'root' I expect to be requird to make any change to the system . [22:52] ame/name [22:53] Bashing-om, oh okay i tried to run vlc just to test and it was saying shouldnt be run as root, sorry im still learning the basics of linux [22:54] Bashing-om, on that command it just says ., .., extras.ubuntu.com, and google [22:55] niytro: No problem, we are all at some point on this learning curve. 'root' is not to be used for any ap that resides in your /home. In /home 'you' have full access. Any actions outside of /home require the elevated privileges. [22:55] Bashing-om, understood [22:57] niytro: When you installed .. is it from " sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao " ?? [22:59] niytro: ^^ as I do not find it in 14.04's repository . [23:00] Bashing-om, yes that is correct [23:00] Bashing-om, i added that repo [23:00] Hey I have a quick question: how can I change my computer's name? [23:01] not hostname, not username, like the FULL name of user [23:02] nicholas: in user settings? [23:02] niytro: OK, maybe not so easy to remove it .. as it is not in the repo .. lemme see what I can find on a means to properly remove it. [23:03] Bashing-om, thanks so much === echoes is now known as echoes69 === echoes69 is now known as echoes99 [23:07] hi, how/where do I report a package that got updated? (warzone2100 got an update recently) [23:09] and yes im using the 14.10 repo (lubuntu 14.10) [23:10] Metapod1: in general package only get bug and security upgrade. new program versions just come with the new ubuntu releases [23:10] but if you think its important for a bugfix file a bug (on launchpad.net) and the maintainer will see it and decide [23:10] Hello guys, how can i prevent my screen to go in screensaver mode while i'm watching full screen video ? I tried Caffeine, but it does not start in the systray, can you help me please ? :) I use XFCE4 [23:10] ok thanks. [23:11] microbe: video players should do that on their own. [23:11] microbe, I think you can go to your power managment settings and change it [23:11] IDK [23:11] niytro: Not so convinced, but I have found 2 (and more ?) instances to remove it -> sudo apt-get install ppa-purge , sudo ppa-purge ppa:atareao/atareao <- // as ppa-purge is supossed to revert to what is in the repo, and in this case there is nothing to revert to . But will not hurt to try and see what happens. see: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-my-weather-indicator-0-6-7-on-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr/ . [23:12] Bashing-om, trying [23:12] yeah microbe. 1. go to settings manager. 2. search power manager 3. got to ac or on battery 4. set the slider to your desire [23:12] k1l, nicholas it happens when i watch fullscreen video from youtube for example. When i say screensaver, its an actual screensaver, not my screen turning off [23:13] nicholas, i'm looking. wait [23:13] microbe: so you have a screensaver installed and enabled? usually ubuntu just shuts the screen off [23:13] nicholas, dpms-on-ac-off ? [23:13] I have this command 'ps auxf | sort -nr -k 3 | head -5' which shows top 5 CPU Consuming Process.. how can I get rid of the space' ', backward-slash'\' and underscore'_' that is before the name of the process ? [23:14] k1l, yes i installed xscreensaver [23:14] microbe: so might be a xscreensaver thing? :/ [23:14] i'm not so sure. I am still a n00b [23:14] k1l i'll look in the options [23:15] Bashing-om, when it is finished purging am I going to try to run the prog or reinstall? [23:15] Bashing-om, oh okay nvm i see it removing [23:16] hey anyone know how to remove all xfce4-panels? [23:16] hi guys - got laptop here with broadcom 4313 wifi it will not connect to this N router [23:17] Valduare: did you install the firmware blob? [23:17] it connects to all other networks [23:17] ah, ok. [23:17] just not this N router - all other devices can connect to this N router fine [23:18] hey valdare, check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:18] Bashing-om, the purge completed, the app is still listed in my menu and will not run === kc_ is now known as Something [23:18] Valduare: rebooted it? :P [23:18] yes lol [23:19] Valduare: you'd be surprised how many refuse to even try. is it in mixed mode b/g/n ? (router settings) [23:19] ＼（＾○＾）人（＾○＾）／ [23:19] ya if I set the router to legacy then iit connects [23:19] but limits my speed etc. [23:19] do strings in bash have a limitation or something? [23:19] Valduare: 'legacy' ? [23:19] ^ [23:19] Had to go back to my integrated graphics for a while [23:19] or maybe echo ? [23:19] legacy means b/g/ [23:20] I don't think the drivers are working, stuff from the 90s is lagging [23:20] Valduare: the broadcom driver probably won't even operate at 'n' so yes, none of this is surprising. [23:20] Not sure how to either check or fix [23:20] niytro: When it is done, let's see if the source is still in exidtence ( to re-install ) // ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d. Then we se ahat it is . [23:21] Bashing-om, atareao-ubuntu-atareao-utopic.list [23:21] Bashing-om, that and google chrome are listed [23:22] daftykins: so what should I do [23:22] Oh hey, here's something [23:22] xorg.cinf is repeatedly referencing ATI [23:22] .conf [23:22] hey anyone using cairo dock here? [23:23] Valduare: run it in legacy and take Broadcom off your christmas list [23:23] anyone know how to disable popups [23:23] ? [23:23] daftykins: not an option [23:23] Valduare: which... [23:23] daftykins: I have to send them a card every year [23:23] :P [23:23] niytro: So far so good .. -> cat ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atareao-ubuntu-atareao-utopic.list <- too see that here is NOT a '#' character at the start of the line. [23:24] no i need the router operating at N. this laptop has an N card in it so it should work === sergio is now known as Guest72961 [23:24] Bashing-om, invalid option -- 'a' [23:25] Valduare: check what driver is in use, use the above broadcom link to find out how [23:26] niytro: Check you syntax .. "ls -al" is 'ls space hypenal' . [23:26] kernel driver in use wl [23:27] hyphen* [23:27] Bashing-om, i copied directly from here [23:28] Bashing-om, i checked the help let me try another [23:28] daftykins: its an hp dv-4 4141us specifically [23:28] niytro: I got the same same .. IRC adding something .. [23:29] hey, I'm a beginner/intermediate user. any cool things I should play around in with linux? [23:29] any cool software? [23:29] niytro: ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atareao-ubuntu-atareao-utopic.list <- this one completes for me . [23:30] nicholas: that's a bit tough without knowing what you want to do, you can idle here and wait until something interesting pops up, sometimes I find something new from recommendations to others, or by problems I don't face being brought up. Also there's ##ubuntu-offtopic [23:31] ok [23:31] Bashing-om, output is: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 136 Jan 11 17:14 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atareao-ubuntu-atareao-utopic.list [23:32] nicholas: sorry, it's #ubuntu-offtopic , one # [23:34] how do I change my username in xchat?

[23:39] no, like remove all of them [23:39] Apparent solution: delete xorg.conf and do without [23:40] lol [23:40] is anyone alive [23:40] am i the only one in this world [23:40] no [23:40] yes [23:40] oh damn it [23:40] Noah: ask a question if you have one, else chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:41] yes of course.

[23:45] niytro: Well, the 'ppa-purge' did "comment out" that source . In your text editor remove the '#' character and save the file .. then run terminal commands -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get install my-weather-indicator <- to re-install the ap .

[23:49] I thought I did, so asked to reset it via email (but do n ot have email) [23:50] laurentusa: err, there is no password reset feature via email for user accounts, are you sure you're not talking about launchpad or similar? the ubuntu websites?

The things we get into with 3rd party software ... To my understanding 'my-weather-indictor' is the best around. Try the "ppa-purge" routine once more and again re-install it // maybe that 'apt-get purge' did something unforseen ?? . [23:56] Bashing-om, okay sounds good i will try again [23:56] Hey guys, got a n00b question. I installed youtube-dl. ... yet it was giving me an error.
