[00:07] Bashing-om: 15.04 === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon [00:08] !ubuntu+1 | shadaloo [00:08] shadaloo: Vivid Vervet is the codename for Ubuntu 15.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [00:12] hey I am a n00b at this irc stuff. can anyone tell me the basic stuff? [00:13] Nixus: no, this isn't an IRC support channel. join #freenode and ask there [00:13] Nixus: type "/join #freenode" [00:13] knob, Any of those installs from the ubuntu repo? [00:13] ok [00:18] Do anyone have issues with amd proprietary when using it with a apu? It seem like there may be a memory leak with /usr/bin/X overtime or when running a graphically intensive application (eg Game, Rendering, etc) === alexandr1 is now known as alexandros_c [00:20] Which release was the first release of Ubuntu that had PAE as a requiremen [00:22] is there a gnucash package that has sql enabled?

[00:23] fang0654: what version of ubuntu does it hang on? [00:24] steven____, 14.04.. this is a desktop, but I've experienced it on the server flavors as well [00:24] Bashing-om, yep, that did it. Thanks! [00:24] fang0654: I'll try and reproduce the hang a bit later on... [00:24] steven____, usually hangs with "System halted", but doesn't send the final kill [00:24] fang0654: ;) ... -r to 'reboot' . [00:25] Bashing-om: Running sudo kill 1 works too [00:26] Brb, rebooting for a software update [00:26] steven____: Maybe, but to me that is a bit scary .. '1' is init . Killing it might leave things in a unstable state (??) . [00:26] i have a notebook with ubuntu 14.10 running touch pad works but usb optical mouse does not work i really need the mouse more than touchpad since the notebook keyboard is wrecked . any ideas? [00:27] Bashing-om, okay still working, i went to eat [00:27] anontx: tried more than one USB port? is this mouse known good? i don't mean historically, i mean today - on another computer :) [00:28] niytro: I was wondering .. try again and let's see what happens .. else going to get down and dirty .. try and unhack it from the terminal with apt's tools .dirty .

[00:36] you can shutdown the computer without executing as root [00:37] shadaloo, i think ubuntu also uses poweroff [00:37] no both plugged into seperate ports [00:37] poweroff: Need to be root [00:39] anontx: so they're wired devices? is it optical? does the light come on, if any? [00:39] yes light works when i lift it [00:39] is the system a laptop? [00:39] yes [00:39] shadaloo, would changing the sudoers file to user ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, work for what you need ?

[00:45] robin_: there isnt linux native version anymore of sketchup? [00:45] that's version 8. I use version 15. [00:46] that's a WEE bit of a step in the wrong direction [00:46] robin_: consulted the wine appdb? [00:46] says sketchup 2015 is GOLD in 14.04, but doesn't give me much information as to how to make it work.

[00:49] running gnome 14.10 also [00:50] think that matters ? [00:50] i am wondering if the AMD a78 chipset is supported under linux [00:51] following this tutorial, installed winetricks at step 4, and got this error [00:51] http://ubuntuguide.net/install-google-sketchup-cad-style-app-in-ubuntu-using-wine [00:51] wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string, error message 'wine: /home/robin/.wine is not owned by you' [00:51] (I didn't paste-bin because it was only 1 line) [00:51] robin_: "ls -l ~/ | pastebinit" [00:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9715585/ [00:53] niytro: 14.04/14.10 is a personal choice .. I prefer the LTS 14.04 as it is (L)ong (T)erm (S)upport and not have to upgade every few months. [00:54] robin_: you downloaded winetricks as root. [00:54] robin_: sorry that should've been "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" [00:54] Bashing-om, would it also possibly run better on my machine? [00:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9715590/ [00:55] Bashing-om, i should probably switch though because I do plan to keep this on my machine for as long as possible... [00:55] robin_: yeah, i'd be willing to guess you wget'd that winetricks as root@host then ran the command as root too, correct? [00:56] Porbably did. I tend to run sudo when I do install commands on reflex. [00:56] change ownership should be no issue, just chmod chown, yes? [00:56] robin_: sudo chown -R robin: /home/robin [00:57] done. shall I re-run sh winetricks?

[00:59] niytro: Again that is as to how you want to operate your system what release/distro to run . for stability - in many terms - install the LTS release . [01:00] robin_: rerun "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" , then also "ls -al ~/.wine/ | pastebinit" [01:00] Bashing-om, now Im assuing i want the point release for that as well? [01:00] how can I search apt-cache for only installed packages [01:00] Bashing-om, lubuntu 14.04.1?

It only takes 20 minutes to install and see what the difference might be. [01:03] shadaloo: -> dpkg -l for a status . That work for ya ? [01:03] Bashing-om, on lubuntu.net they have a page for a point release [01:03] daftykins: permission denied... but 'ls -l /mn' shows the drwx------ 1 root root 4.0K Jan 6 21:49 wd1 [01:03] Bashing-om, its telling me to download 14.04.1 [01:04] DeaDSouL: you can also repeat my command with sudo [01:04] niytro, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/trusty/daily-live/current/ [01:05] bubbasaures, i use lubuntu [01:05] niytro: You are correct .1 point release " July 24th [01:05]  Ubuntu 14.04.1 [01:05] is it okay to be getting lubuntu help in this channel?

A few days after Debian who has also took for long?

[01:06] niytro: Lubuntu is also fully supported here .. ( 3rd party software is not ) .. and we see ya on the other side :) [01:07] ...to much time even [01:07] daftykins: I just have a file in the usb and want to check it [01:08] DeaDSouL: so change ownership of the mountpoint to your user.

This is a friend's disk. She told me that his friend operated something to let a "compatibility" between mac and windows. To me it doesn't make any sense because all you have to do to have a compatibility is install exfat filesystem, but may be one of you guys know better ?

I can switch to a virtual terminal but it's veeerrry slow about switching, although no process is hogging many system resources, and then I can't switch back to the GUI.

[02:57] i know that, i'm asking what OS is on this mac. [02:57] third time, now [02:58] mac. [02:59] daftykins: he told us it was created on OSX as exfat. He fixed it by rebuilding the file system [02:59] The OS on which I'm trying to make it work is Linux Mint.

[04:01] faryshta_, you have to be patient. we're volunteers. [04:01] niytro: Well, that is not all bad .. get that line up to specs, your world be the better , Were you able to get Lubuntu installed ? [04:02] Bashing-om, yes lubuntu 14.04.1 is what im on right now [04:02] faryshta_: create a new virtual host conf with VirualDocumentRoot of /home/faryshta/git/%a/admin/public [04:02] faryshta_: %1 not %a [04:02] Bashing-om, i was saying the first problem im facing is the options for desktop pager arent loading, im trying to remove the second desktop [04:03] somsip, something like that but i want it dinamic. something like /home/faryshta/git/%1/%2/public do you know how to do that? [04:03] Bashing-om, i only need one desktop [04:03] faryshta_, you want modrewrite [04:03] iirc [04:03] faryshta_: no [04:03] somsip, do you know if vhost_alias has support for more than one wildcard? [04:03] faryshta_, that didn't even make sense to be honest. [04:04] faryshta_: no. apache docs are good [04:04] lolnopeno: hence my suggestion to have another virt conf file [04:04] niytro: I honestly have not used Lubuntu enough to advise on removing a work space, sorry . (xfce4) [04:04] lolnopeno, what didn't make sense?

[04:06] niytro: Hang loose and let's see who has the experience with Lubuntu, and we both learn . [04:07] Bashing-om, i joined lubu channel [04:08] lolnopeno, when you handle several projects on several computers its easier to have dynamic hosts than creating a new virtualhost every time... and restarting the server. [04:08] lolnopeno, in some cases restarting the server is a no-no. [04:08] faryshta_, you're using git, right? [04:09] lolnopeno, yes. that way to 'create' a new virtualhost i just need to do 'git clone ...' and then i can access it without restarting apache [04:09] faryshta_, that makes no sense.. [04:10] why would you access git through multiple virtual servers when you can select what branch/fork/trunk you want to work on? [04:10] lolnopeno, it does. it works. [04:10] why would you access git through multiple virtual servers when you can select what branch/fork/trunk you want to work on? [04:10] because i have many git projects on my git folder [04:10] faryshta_, your point? [04:11] it's easier to select the one you need than to keep adding virtual hosts for each [04:11] lolnopeno, ok i didn't came here to debate about that, i just need to know if someone know how to add more dynamic directories to vhost_alias [04:12] faryshta_, I'm just suggesting that there are easier and more reliable ways. [04:12] faryshta_, I suggest using "man apache2" and #httpd if you want support just for apache2 especially at this time of night. [04:13] lolnopeno, again, what i require is a configuration on vhost_alias [04:14] faryshta_, #httpd [04:14] faryshta_: here is your answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14700797/apache2-dynamic-vhost-with-multiple-serveralias [04:14] faryshta_, also to get your nick /msg nickserv ghost Faryshta [04:14] faryshta_: you'd just setup serveralias to be *.admin.com for the second vhosy declaration [04:15] Bashing-om, looks like lubu channel is dead [04:16] somsip, some projects have more than one subfolders, for example the most of them have backend/ and frontend/ subfolders, i want it to be dynamic on both [04:17] niytro: :( ... Hang loose here, see who responds for Lubuntu work spaces . [04:17] faryshta_: yeah, good luck to you. I can't help more. [04:17] somsip, so that foo.bar.faryshta take me to git/foor/bar/public [04:17] Bashing-om, gotcha [04:17] lolnopeno, that nickserv command was useful thanks [04:18] faryshta_, no problem.

[04:37] nicholas: you can always try conky, to get more network/cpu/battery info to your desktop and combine with a clean dock [04:38] I guess... but if I use conky, I have to go to my desktop to check [04:39] nicholas: you have to check your dock on your desktop too right? [04:39] I use autohide [04:39] so when I put my mouse down, it pulls it up [04:40] nicholas: thats the whole idea of conky, to get more info to your desktop..thats up to you what you want? [04:40] I initially set Ubuntu to require me logging in when booting up, but I don't want that anymore - how does one revert that change? [04:41] i wanna access it in any application without minimizing [04:41] Dresk: you can set autologin in useraccounts [04:42] nicholas: here, check some ideas from deviantart: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=ubuntu+dock&offset=24 [04:42] lotuspsychje: Cool, thanks [04:43] Sorry to say, but I'm using XFCe [04:43] nicholas: thats allright, then search deviantart for xubuntu dock [04:44] nicholas: or xubuntu conky [04:46] if I search xubuntu dock, everyone is using docky, cairo-dock, etc. and as I said before, I want to access the stuff from any app, not just the desktop [04:47] nicholas: not sure if i follow you mate [04:48] ok: you know what auto hide is? [04:48] yep [04:48] lets say I am browsing apps or something and have lots of windows open [04:48] and I want to make sure my battery is some-what full [04:49] if I have conky, I have to close all the windows and open then maximize them all over again. but, if I have an autohidng dock, I cant just bring my mouse down to the dock, and it can show me what I need [04:50] ok got ya [04:50] for what i remember docky had a battery icon no? [04:51] I could add it, but didn't add to the dock [04:51] it also crashed when I unplugged my charging cable [04:52] nicholas: well i never tested it on xubuntu, but ran pretty stable for me on ubuntu [04:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/docky/+bug/481241 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/docky/+bug/630799 [04:52] Launchpad bug 481241 in Docky "Battery Monitor not working" [Low,Invalid] [04:52] Launchpad bug 617293 in Docky "duplicate for #630799 BatteryMonitor uses deprecated ACPI event support, causing crashes when plugging or unplugging AC adapter" [Low,Fix released] [04:53] I really wish it didn't [04:53] it's a great dock [04:53] nicholas: wich version of docky are you on?

[04:56] yes [04:56] :'-( [04:57] Hi guys I dont know if this is the proper channel, but [04:58] guys how remove a package along with all its dependencies with aptitude or apt-get ? [04:58] apt-get autoremove [04:58] I'm pretty sure [04:58] so it would be, for example, sudo apt-get purge docky, then sudo apt-get autoremove [04:59] I was wonder is it possible to install Ubuntu phone to my Nokia Lumia 521. My phone is pretty much ARM and EFI [04:59] nicholas: there's a docky script to bypass your issue: https://www.linux-compatible.com/tutorial/docky-closes-after-waking-suspend-ubuntu [05:00] optrusty: highly unlikely, however #ubuntu-touch is the channel for that [05:00] yeh optrusty, not too many devices are compatible with ubuntu [05:01] and lotuspsychje, how about the battery plugin not working?

[05:07] and by exact, i mean the newly built package has the exact same md5sum file as the one provided by ubuntu [05:08] nicholas, I did apt-get install openbox ; it installed a lot of packages [05:09] when I did apt-get purge openbox [05:09] it did not remove any packages but just openbox [05:09] i did apt-get autoremove [05:09] and nothing [05:09] snappy, yes, it happens all the time, it fact it should do if your using the source package from the repos to build it. [05:11] snappy, why would a debian build give the same md5sum as ubuntu sources? you must be lucky i guess [05:11] yourbeau: they aren't that many packages, just a bunch of libraries, is there anything wrong with the pc?

[05:13] yes old toshiba satellite m45 [05:13] yourbeau: that doesn't look like lxde [05:13] EriC^^, ok [05:13] i guess what i shoudl be reading is this: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds [05:14] yourbeau: actually it does, nevermind [05:14] EriC^^, lol do yu know what he did ? [05:14] snappy, then something is different. If launchpad builds a package and I build the same package with pbuilder, using the same source should produce the same results. Why yours isn't doing that, I don't know. [05:14] Bashing-om, just say it or put it down somewhere? [05:14] yourbeau: nope [05:14] I think its docky or something [05:15] ki7mt: but its reasonable to expect dpkg-buildpackage (should it succeed) to build byte for byte the same package right?

[05:16] nicomachus, What ubuntu release, 12.04 per chance? [05:16] nicomachus: you need the android mount tools [05:16] 14.04 [05:16] (hm let me try pbuilder, that's designed for reproducible builds) [05:16] nicomachus, What android release?

[05:21] nicomachus, what are you attempting to do with this connection? [05:21] MTP and PTP i think, picture transfer protocol [05:21] that's it [05:22] Open it in the filesystem and transfer music files. [05:22] someone said something about udev causing issues with android MTP devices a bit ago [05:23] nicomachus, not quite so neat, but you can that with airdroid [05:23] For anyone who is unable to change Brightness on their laptop display it can be done via terminal by doing the following. Type xrandr -q | grep " connected" and the output should say something similar to LVDS1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm. LVDS1 is your display so now you can enter xrandr --output LVDS1 --brightness 0.5 1.0 is full and it can go down to 0.0 so be careful and above 1. [05:23] 0 as well. Adjust the value to your preference.

[05:25] Bashing-om, u know something like that [05:26] I mean if we replace the kernel with linux-libre [05:26] yourbeau: yes [05:26] nicomachus: then mtp should work out the box [05:26] and use only Main repo [05:26] xangua: clearly. but it's not. [05:26] nicomachus, because kernel has non-free osftware and other repo have non-free software [05:26] yourbeau, vanilla install yes.

[06:02] lotuspsychje: ssorry heh.. no thanks.. i'll join ubuntu-touch after they release an actual device that i can buy ... then i'll ask the questions heh.. in the meantime i'm working on getting itunes to work in ubuntu [06:03] kk [06:03] ok then how do i get out of the menu [06:03] Guest93204: do you understand what i mean to do? it's then ctrl+x or F10 to boot after entering that word [06:03] i dont know what it is suppose to do but im doing as your telling me [06:04] but hey looks like it worked yay [06:04] no more flickering [06:04] alrighty [06:04] * jrg waits for playonlinux to refresh itself [06:04] this will be pretty awesome if it works in ubuntu [06:05] is the internet suppose to work on this live trial, i am assuming so because i saw this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2246701 [06:05] Guest93204: are you typing from the computer you downloaded ubuntu on? [06:05] jrg: before you get too happy, make a good backup on your iphone lol [06:05] tbh tho... the no itunes thing isn't that big of a deal considering i use plex for everything [06:05] no another one [06:05] but you never know :) [06:06] Guest93204: press ctrl+alt+t and type "ip a" and tell me if you see another thing than 'lo' and 'eth0' with a bunch of info beside [06:07] lmao! [06:07] lotuspsychje: "Wine does not support USB yet. You will not able to sync your iDevices with PlayOnLinux. Sorry [06:07] yea i see lo and etho in there but theres a lot of text the comes after both of them [06:07] bad english aside.. seems like it doesn't work [06:08] Guest93204: alright, sounds like your wireless isn't coming up indeed. type "lspci" and tell me if you see a line with "intel 7xxx wifi" [06:08] "eth0: " [06:08] ah well.. i guess i'll just stick to syncing with plex :) [06:08] jrg: that error showed on main itunes page on playonlinux yes [06:09] lotuspsychje: oh sure does. missed that part [06:09] well.. i'll check back in about 5 years heh [06:09] hopefully by then i'll have an ubuntu phone and this will all be moot :) [06:09] no i dont see that [06:10] Guest93204: do you see anything with 'wifi' or 'network controller' in? [06:10] jrg: maybe read some here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21302 [06:10] yea [06:11] Guest93204: what's the device name? [06:11] network controller: intel corperation wireless 7260 (rev cb) [06:11] alright so it is intel 7xxx :) [06:11] well.. maybe wine will support usb some day [06:12] Guest93204: your best bet is to install and then update the system by plugging into your router with a network cable. can you do that? [06:12] maybe depends on how fast i can install it [06:13] jrg: maybe try itunes 7 to test [06:13] im assuming double click install ubuntu on desktop and follow step? [06:13] goodnight daftykins [06:13] Guest93204: yep, then if you're sure about killing windows 8, select to erase entire disk when installing [06:14] jrg: and some usefull info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [06:17] lotuspsychje: yeah i was reading that === zz_Mongey is now known as Mongey [06:17] still just not worth it. just seems buggy at best.. like i said.. no big deal.. i have a lifetime plexpass [06:17] i'll just use that [06:17] kk [06:17] my plex server > iphone anyways [06:18] if i was going to use a music service i'd probably use the MS one anyways... although i could never get it to play in an ubuntu browser [06:18] never quite figured that out [06:19] when i plug into the rounter im not gonna be next to the computer im reading this from so what do i do and type when i connect to the rounter [06:19] Guest93204: is it installing yet? [06:20] yea [06:20] install, let it finish, shutdown... unplug the flash drive, turn it back on... [06:20] Guest93204: great, you made a good choice :p welcome to ubuntu [06:20] do i restart now or continue testing [06:20] if it boots successfully, lotuspsychje can help you fully update over the wired network as i must sleep :) [06:21] and thanks feels a little more profesional haha [06:21] continue testing then shutdown [06:21] Guest93204: restart only when you got a prompt, install has finished [06:21] daftykins: nite nite [06:21] :D ty, have a good shift o/ [06:21] dammit i did what daftykins said and hit contie [06:21] lol [06:22] so what now then continue to fix the wifi or restart [06:22] Guest93204: you still in live session, testing? [06:22] yea [06:23] lotuspsychje: oh before i go, if a dist-upgrade doesn't bring the wifi on, nor modprobe iwlwifi, it'll be - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2242147&page=2&p=13112184#post13112184 [06:23] Guest93204: but did you install ubuntu to hd meanwhile?

Using lm-sensors, and having searched for all sensors, I'm getting a lot of alarms. What prompted me to do this was 1.5hr of gaming, the frame rate drops every minutes for a few seconds [06:38] I cant' believe the numbers I'm seeing, it must be some kind of error [06:38] http://pastie.org/9826817 [06:39] Guest93204: maybe check the intel website for latest linux grafix drivers [06:40] !nomodeset > Guest93204 or read the grub nomodeset edit again [06:40] Guest93204, please see my private message === jack is now known as Guest66950 [06:43] Guest93204: also do a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade from terminal [06:44] wifi is still broken though im hooked up to my other computer with a brdge network [06:45] so i ran gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub and it said gksudo is not currently installed [06:46] Guest93204: you can sudo gedit also [06:46] just type "sudo gedit" in terminal? [06:46] Guest93204: no, the whole line you pasted [06:47] ok [06:47] but sudo instead of gksudo [06:47] If you are to run graphical applications as root, please use sudo -H or pkexec. [06:47] Guest93204: after you edited grub, save and sudo update-grub [06:49] hello [06:49] ITS GONE is what i almost said its happening still but a lot less [06:50] how to i fix the error #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) === Mongey is now known as zz_Mongey [06:51] am i suppose to do this one "quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\"" or "quiet splash nomodeset" cus i did "quiet splash nomodeset" [06:52] how do i fix this error http://pastebin.com/NXJ9wwgJ [06:53] Guest93204: nomodeset would do the trick yes, did you sudo update-grub after? [06:53] yea [06:53] Guest93204: ok then try reboot, see if it fixes === zz_Mongey is now known as Mongey [06:53] ok im still upgrading from another terminal so ill restart after its done [06:54] ok [06:55] BloodyDragon20, first of, what is distro, type of box is it, server, desktop etc? What was the command you tried to use too connect with? [06:56] ki7mt the server box is running and we are using putty to do everything. and its for phpmyadmin [06:56] BloodyDragon20, see anser #1 http://askubuntu.com/questions/401449/error-104528000-access-denied-for-user-rootlocalhost-using-password-no use the -p option ? [06:57] OerHeks tried it [06:57] BloodyDragon20, did you setup MySQL password correctly? [06:57] yes [06:58] BloodyDragon20, In any case resetting it may solve the issue: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset [06:58] Using 'NO" doesn't seem correct to me for a PW [06:59] ki7mt so reseting mysql should fix phpmyadmin [06:59] ki7mt the os is is CentOS [07:00] sweet looks like you were right restart did the trick [07:00] BloodyDragon20, phpmyadmin has to connect to the SQL DB the same as you would do manually, so if either the SQL PW is fubar, or the PW your using in phpmyadmin is wrong, that's the result you'd see. [07:00] !yay | Guest93204 [07:00] Guest93204: Glad you made it! :-) [07:01] now all thats left is wif issue yay [07:01] BloodyDragon20, This is support for Ubuntu, but it doesn't matter, the connection to the DB is the same. [07:01] #CentOS [07:02] ki7mt then what is the room for centos [07:03] Yes, #centos or #centos-devel, there are several [07:05] hi guys [07:06] I am looking for a method to encrypt my external HD, but to be able to decrypted on Windows, Mac and Linux. Does anyone knows any software? [07:07] ki7mt: so i can get reproducible builds working now with pbuilder; can you suggest the path of least resistance to apply a patch to an existing .orig.tar.gz .debian.tar.gz and .dsc files? I extracted the debian.tar.gz, changed a few files, bumped the changelog, repackaged the tarball, but i need to regenerate the dsc and im not sure if there's a tool for that. [07:10] do you guys know how to fix the wifi problem or should i just follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2242147&p=13112184#post13112184 [07:10] snappy, Path of least resistance, well that depends, who's the original maintainer? If Debian, send a bug in with the patch, if Ubuntu only, bug with patch on launchpad. Make sure you Cc: the relevant groups owning the package. [07:11] so i am on the ubuntu live-usb and considering installing [07:11] but no idea how to do a few things like format one of my spare linux drives so both linux and Windows can read and use it [07:11] snappy, and for the .dsc, it's debuild -S -k [07:11] ah thanks [07:13] <__my_name__> Hi [07:13] AirstrikeIvanov, Make it a NTFS for both to read. [07:13] ah, do i want to use MBR or GPT partition scheming? [07:13] still looking over the particulars of the boot loaders and such once i get it all installed [07:13] snappy, dont forget to : export DEBFULLNAME="Yourname" export DEBEMAIL="email-address" [07:14] AirstrikeIvanov, What is there now on the computer? [07:14] mbr or gpt that is [07:16] AirstrikeIvanov, I don't think it's going to matter on an external, so what you like is fine. [07:17] bubbasaures: I have a 1TB drive with Windows 10 Technical Preview on it; it's my primary OS - I installed two more SATA drives, 300/250GB each [07:17] not externals either way [07:17] i installed the drives internally [07:17] AirstrikeIvanov, I was just curious if you where gpt on the computer. [07:18] Evening!!!! [07:18] Any networking experts here? [07:18] I cant ping my gateway or anything else on my lan [07:18] !any | al_nz1 [07:18] wan etc is fine! [07:18] and only on wlan interfaces - eth0 works [07:19] al_nz1, We follow posts that are all in one, if you can [07:23] code__, encryption is a complex topic. From an ease of use standpoint, I would use something like OpenPGP [07:24] al_nz1: i dont know much about networking but did you try to reset your router? === Mongey is now known as zz_Mongey [07:26] so if i am dual booting Windows and Linux, i won't have to worry about anything IF they are on seperate drives? [07:26] EriC^^: other computers can ping across the lan just fine, and eth0 works. its only wireless - so I think this points to the PC as oposed to the router [07:27] AirstrikeIvanov, Should not be an issue, make sure grub goes to the HD ubuntu is on. [07:27] al_nz1: is there a router that links them together? [07:27] yes === zz_Mongey is now known as Mongey [07:27] for eth0 and wlan0 ? [07:28] AirstrikeIvanov, you gonna go gpt or msdos? [07:28] wired and wireless? [07:28] i have NO clue thats why i was asking [07:28] lol [07:28] i mean, its a relatively modern year-old system [07:28] no, I tried a wired connection on the ubuntu PC and the problem went away [07:28] GTX760 2GB/16GB DDR3 1600MHz/i7-4770K [07:28] AirstrikeIvanov, Are you on the computer? [07:28] yep [07:28] using the livedvd now [07:28] on ubuntu [07:28] but I want to get wireless working prooperly [07:28] AirstrikeIvanov, In what OS? [07:28] al_nz1: that means it could be the router, no? [07:28] Ubuntu [07:29] AirstrikeIvanov, Cool, pastebin sudo parted -l [07:29] k one moment [07:29] EriC^^: other wireless clients (same router) are fine [07:29] al_nz1: oh ok [07:30] bubbasaures http://paste.ubuntu.com/9717129/ [07:31] also the Seagate drive says it has few bad sectors and NEEDS to be formatted regardless, the NTFS partition is unusuable (the 250GB drive) [07:31] and im assuming the loop partition is my liveusb since its on my usb key [07:32] AirstrikeIvanov, You have all msdos I would stick with it if it were me but depends on what you want. [07:32] well, the two 300/250 drives are gonna be erased no matter what [07:32] i just wasnt sure what would be easier/more supported in the future [07:33] AirstrikeIvanov, I don't think msdos will go out of support any time soon.' [07:33] or gpt [07:33] yeah should be fine then [07:33] now just need to figure them out to possibly install two linux OSes on a single drive [07:34] with a third partition that both can access [07:35] AirstrikeIvanov, not to hard, I would use manual installs so you can size the partitions there, and make sure grub goes to that HD. [07:35] bubbasaures yeah ubuntu has come a long way since 5.x and the text installer for sure [07:35] That's what I do. [07:35] confusing the hell out of me lol [07:36] AirstrikeIvanov, Can be confusing if you have been away. [07:36] then agian that was the last time i used linux so i am thinking about trying out another distro or two [07:36] like SteamOS maybe [07:36] I use EasyBCD to boot Windows and one Grub2, and then use my Ubuntu image to Grub2 boot-load like 8 other versions. [07:36] well, i have two hard drives with a total of 550 GB space [07:36] AirstrikeIvanov, Personally if I thought I might need help I would have at least one wit wide support. [07:37] yeah which is why i am here first [07:37] good choice [07:37] i know ubuntu is still the most used [07:37] heh [07:37] my firstever was actually freeBSD [07:37] then a week after i found that i found out about ubuntu and never looked back [07:37] lol [07:37] ubuntu was first here upon retuning back to college === Mongey is now known as zz_Mongey [07:37] I would not recommend FreeBSD to a first time *Nix user :-) [07:38] LOL yeah i know that after the fact [07:39] is freebsd easy to use like ubuntu? [07:39] In any case, I would crve out a 100GB or so for Windows, and partition the rest for *Nix, and usr BCD to boot load. It's easy, it's fast, and doesn't make Windows angry messing with the MBR [07:40] ablest1980, No, but it's a very stable distro. [07:40] ok [07:40] well in this case im just gonna not even bother with the 1TB drive [07:40] that can remain 100% windows cause its packed full of steam games [07:40] mostly just figuring out what to do with the rest *Nix and/or MacOS wise [07:41] never had the patience for BCD or gentoo, run every other major though [07:41] cs works [07:41] Whatever is easiest for you to maintain, that's the best choice :-) [07:41] ive always wanted to try Gentoo, heard its the best for servers [07:41] Hello [07:41] i got valve pack steam os linux [07:41] but i just use ubuntu-server myself [07:41] is steamos any different now ablest1980 ? [07:41] compared ot when it first released in beta [07:41] Gentoo is 'very fast' but that's OT here. [07:41] idk [07:41] i dont know [07:41] if nothings changed im not gonna try it again lol [07:41] !ot (it's going off topic quickly here...) [07:41] somsip: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:41] I just started running Xubuntu. I actually like it. [07:41] but ubuntu is my first one yes [07:42] !ot [07:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:42] im new to ubuntu too [07:42] discussions about other OSes are best done in #ubuntu-offtopic, if we can keep to support issues here please [07:42] Gentoo is too ...um, not sure how to say it. [07:42] Gentoo is too system based. [07:42] gentoo isnt new i believe [07:43] i think [07:43] No, Gentoo is not new. [07:43] william1978: can the OT discussion please stop now, or be taken elsewhere. Thank you [07:43] is debian the best one? [07:43] hey guys [07:43] hey [07:43] guys somsip was right #ubuntu-offtopic [07:44] ablest1980: is also offtopic. Please keep this channel for support questions only [07:44] ok [07:44] sry [07:44] thanks guys - welcome to discuss, just not here eh :) [07:44] i was wondering how you get the firewall to allow ips from running programs [07:44] !ufw | KEEm [07:44] KEEm: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [07:45] Oh, and thanks for singling me out. === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [07:45] oh lord THATS an expiriment i will avoid like the plague the second time around [07:45] thanks somsip [07:45] i had to make my own dns service once. [07:45] william1978: don't take it personally. I've been real polite. [07:46] What does making a DNS service once have anything to do with our topic? [07:46] If it's a Ubuntu Server, that's on topic. [07:46] ...That is an if. [07:47] Indeed. [07:47] so how does UFW work+ [07:47] *? [07:47] No clue, I'm still trying to figure out wine. [07:47] KEEm: have you read the link in the reponse from the bot? [07:48] yeah :) [07:48] but thanks [07:48] somsip i will read them carefully :) [07:48] KEEm: so what do you need to know that it doesn't tell you on the wiki? [07:48] KEEm, bascially, it's all rules based, if rule x,y,z, do a,b,c: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall === zz_Mongey is now known as Mongey [07:49] Can you please post the link for my sake? [07:49] but is there a easy way to make it allow only running applications ? [07:50] KEEm: you want to wildcard allow on all apps that are currently running? [07:50] KEEm, not to be rude, but easy to one person may not be to another, it's best to just classify it as, how does one do it. [07:51] somsip yeah [07:52] Not sure if this applies to 14.04 still, but: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/easy-to-use-gui-for-ubuntus-default-firewall [07:52] KEEm: netstat -ntlp | grep LISTEN shows you the ports, then use UFW from there or AWK them out if you want a one-liner. But you're on your own on that one, and I'd suggest it's probably not the best approach === Mongey is now known as zz_Mongey [07:57] can I do a fresh install of 14.04 from within 14.04? [07:58] loadedanvils, YOu can boot the iso with grub === mbalmer_zzz is now known as mbalmer [07:59] the problem is, I have 2 ssds inside my computer, one ubuntu, one windows, and I'm nervous about accidentally overwriting the windows one [07:59] loadedanvils, you would do a manual install, this a UEFI bios? [07:59] yeah, I think so [07:59] I had to set UEFI before [08:00] loadedanvils, Best insurance is an image/clone of windows on a external. [08:00] don't have one [08:00] well, actually, I tried to do it before, the clone was unsuccessful, but it did write windows from one drive to the other. the original got screwed up though [08:01] I don't have a spare SSD [08:01] loadedanvils, Windows has an imager built in and multiple uses if pro or above. [08:02] I don't want to try cloning windows again [08:02] I'd rather just install over the original ubuntu installation and not touch that drive [08:03] loadedanvils, Nice thing with W8 it is a bit easier to do a reset or refresh, it just really a mater of backups really. Does not seem this is part of the plan however, just be careful, ask questions here if needed. [08:03] I have windows 7 [08:04] the thing that bothers me is the step by step install, I'm not sure if I'll get the option of choosing which drive to install to or if it will just do it automatically [08:05] loadedanvils, you do it's something else in the gui to choose the install] [08:05] a manual install [08:05] I'll see what I can do [08:09] It's in the partitioner section, when it asks you, Use Entire Disk, or Something Else, select Something Else. === kenny is now known as Guest53091 [08:13] hello where can i find help on pc desktop repair and tech support [08:14] Guest74534, #hardware and a channel of the os.

[08:25] becouse not i need to know the difference in how the they are built [08:25] I'm not gonna get into a childish arguement [08:25] argument* [08:25] swordsmanz, not true, kernels in repo's and install iso are the same, how do you tell they are different? [08:25] so i can build one that will actually run properly on this (fairly standard) hardware [08:27] swordsmanz, YOu can always join the kernel team and work with them to improve on what you think needs work. [08:27] OerHeks well realease kernals are clearly compiled to bypass IBS (power managment amd cpus) where as the updated kernals in repos are not [08:28] ki7mt where are they [08:28] tell me where to find them [08:28] must be nice to have the world revolve around you [08:29] is threre a reson why the msg says cannot post to channel [08:30] swordsmanz, #ubuntu-kernel I believe, or #ubuntu-devel [08:30] I pee [08:30] Guest74534: some freenode channels require an authed account - otherwise you cant write to a channel.

[08:39] I can't SSH into my server on port 22 [08:39] Is OpenSSH installed and running? [08:39] Yes it is. [08:39] On the machine, can you "ssh $USER@localhost" ? [08:40] Yes I can. [08:40] It's on my LAN [08:40] Its IP is 192.168.0.2 [08:40] Mine is 192.168.0.3 [08:40] It's virtualized [08:40] Virtualised how? [08:40] can you ping it? [08:40] It's done using VMware Workstation [08:40] I can, yeah. [08:41] It [08:41] It's bridged [08:41] what's the output of netstat -anp at the console? [08:41] Oof, no, I'm not touching that, I'm not familiar with VMWare. [08:41] Let me tell [08:42] vmware | MMukherjee [08:42] !vmware | MMukherjee [08:42] MMukherjee: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [08:42] ?? [08:42] Well, I'm not asking about how to install VMware Workstation you idiot [08:43] I'm saying SSH doesn't work in a VM running Ubuntu [08:43] MMukherjee, insults will get you ... added to /ignore. [08:43] MMukherjee, define doesn't work? [08:44] cfhowlett: Regardless of the tone, if you don't know the answer to something, not saying anything is better than blindly issuing factoids. [08:44] rww, manuals and support are available in the url. it' [08:44] wasn't a blind factoid [08:44] MMukherjee, what are you trying to do because i dont understand [08:45] Well, let me show. [08:45] cfhowlett: Installing VMWare is completely unrelated to the user's question. [08:45] rww, OK [08:45] I have a VM running Ubuntu [08:45] On VMware Workstation [08:45] I try to SSH to it from the host machine [08:45] Ubuntu server or DE [08:45] It fails. [08:45] Ubuntu Minimal with SSH installed [08:45] MMukherjee, so your host is a windows i think [08:45] cfhowlett: and in case it's not obvious: this is something I would like you to consider in general in the future, not just say "OK" to now and then go back to doing it [08:46] MMukherjee, "netstat -anp" output, please [08:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9717349/ [08:46] Here it is [08:46] MMukherjee, do you have internet connection on your ubuntu [08:46] Just leave the *shell [08:46] I [08:46] I have. [08:46] Using Bridged [08:46] Bridged NET to router [08:46] MMukherjee, okay thats good [08:46] MMukherjee, im gonna try to replicate your setup [08:46] Just leave the 18*shell please [08:46] Using bridged should allow access if you installer openssh-server [08:46] I installed it [08:47] MMukherjee, do you have changed the sshd config ? [08:47] ssh is definitely listening [08:47] *nods* [08:47] I changed it.. [08:47] To allow connections to root [08:47] rww, pretty sure I don't have a reputation for blind/shotgun factoid triggers but ... OK [08:47] MMukherjee, are you trying to ssh as root? [08:47] No, [08:47] MMukherjee, to enable connections to root you have to activate root account [08:47] As a normal user. [08:48] cfhowlett: Yes, you do. [08:48] is there an instantbird ppa? I can't get it to run as it is from their website. [08:48] I cannot connect because it says "Connection Refused" [08:48] I get this error, I think it's pointing to the wrong location in ubuntu 14.04 for that library- ./instantbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [08:48] MMukherjee, do you use putty ? [08:48] MMukherjee do you have a firewall running between clint and host ? [08:48] MMukherjee, ok, first thing is to get more data from the failed attempt, ssh -v .. .. .. and what's that telling you [08:48] I checked and that dependency is installed [08:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9717353/ [08:48] No. [08:49] There's no Firewall [08:49] output of iptables-save? [08:49] OK [08:49] and you can ping it from the host you're sshing from? [08:49] ^ [08:49] I can [08:50] MMukherjee, i gonna tell you how i do it i install open-sshserver and i set my vmware workstation on bridge normally i can ping the host . if that work i open putty and i give it the ip of my ubuntu client [08:50] Sorry, it gives abosolutely none [08:50] MMukherjee, standard its listens to port 22 [08:50] I [08:51] I'm trying to connect on 22 -.- [08:51] theptr, it is listening [08:51] MMukherjee, if you have don al that and it doenst work i think it could be a firewall [08:51] well, uh [08:52] I'm sure there's abosolutely no firewall [08:52] MMukherjee, i expirenced that problems when i had zonealarm on the host [08:52] MMukherjee, let me think what it also could be [08:52] lots of services [08:53] MMukherjee, has it ever worked [08:53] theptr, there's this: /var/run/fail2ban/fail2ban.sock [08:54] sarid, has he fail2ban on the system ? [08:54] it appears so [08:54] line 86 of netstat output [08:54] MMukherjee, can you tell what you configured in fail2ban ? [08:54] It has [08:55] sarid, now i see [08:55] I just sudo apt-get remove --purge'd fail2ban [08:55] Aaaaaand: it now works [08:55] horrible. [08:55] MMukherjee, maybe also auto-remove [08:55] I just wasted my time [08:55] -.- [08:55] lol [08:55] MMukherjee, you have to configure fail2ban so that it allows connections from your host :) [08:55] MMukherjee, if you learn nothing in your journeys, they are quite wasted. think of this as having been productive [08:56] hm [08:56] I'm sorry for bothering you guys :( [08:56] MMukherjee, no problem [08:56] not at all. we're on IRC. it means we have free time [08:56] :) [08:56] ^ [08:57] hey how do you guys have your terminals configured? [08:57] i have byobu-tmux open with a few windows, weechat in one pane and zsh in other [08:57] sometimes i keep rainbowstream open for twitter stuff [08:58] diamat: this is a support forum. If you just want to chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic [09:00] ah [09:00] hi can anyone tell me from where i can take all commands and advanced commands used for ubuntu?? [09:00] ame: That would be impossible since Linux "commands" are basically programs, and you can install as many of those as you like. [09:01] ame, "the linux command line" is a free download [09:01] ame: But for built-in stuff, read "man intro" first [09:02] ya i read the man intro.But i want all the basic and advanced commands used for ubuntu...For eg:ls,ll with full function of that command [09:02] ame: man ls [09:02] somsip:thats ok but the need is to know all types of basic commands [09:03] ame, that's impossible to list, as its varies depending on the applications installed [09:03] ame, no such resource [09:03] okay [09:03] ame: then type 'man' with the name of the other application you want to read about [09:03] And one more doubt how to set permission for user to access application?? [09:03] !permissions | ame [09:03] ame: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [09:03] man woman > No manual entry for woman [09:04] ame, if you want to lean about all the bash commands, type man bash . that will be a good start [09:04] ame, best, if you actually have a real-life-scenario question as something doesn't work, and can't solve it, ask us and we can guide you [09:04] ame: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/dir_all_alphabetic.html [09:05] ame: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary.pdf [09:05] 99.9% of the time on ubuntu you will not need to set permissions for user to access an application [09:06] iptable:i have install an application for example firefox.users namely A and B.I want to allow user A to access firefox and for B restrivted access [09:06] How to do that?? [09:07] ame: you want user B to not have access to the internet browsers or just to firefox? [09:07] hi [09:07] users can access the internet using command line browsers, wget, curl and others [09:07] just firefox [09:07] iptable:the user should not open the application too [09:08] ame: restricting run rights on shared binaries might not be the wisest thing to do, but if you want to go that route, you would find the binary (/usr/local/bin/firefox) and use ACLs (access lists) to remove x (executable) flag for user B. [09:08] ame: a better approach in linux would be to use specific security tools designed for that purpose. You can use apparmor and selinux to restrict access to services and/or applicaitons based on user [09:09] hey ame, did you want something like this?: > ls -1 /bin/ | while read -r line; do whatis "$line"; done [09:09] ame: alternatively, change permission of firefox (if only 2 users involved) to only gives execute rights to user A. Then no other user can execute it. warning - change of ownership for file required which is not wise for firefox [09:10] ame, though the use groups, and which groups and file permissions for binaries you don't want users to run. If you want to restrict functions / features within the application, that is an application specific profile restriction. [09:10] diamat: /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/sbin etc [09:10] am confused guys === macobo__ is now known as macobo [09:11] ame: you should not restrict application access using file permissions... not for shared apps. for that use apparmor and/or selinux, which are tools designed for that purpose [09:12] iptable:okay i will try to work on that [09:12] actually the standard is called MAC or Mandatory Access Control, and that's exactly what it's designed to do. [09:12] ki7mt: yes, apparmor [09:13] I'm having a super odd issue with a daemon [09:13] install angels ;) Sorry, had to. Ask away [09:13] So I wrote it, confirmed it works with service, set its runlevels, and rebooted the VM [09:13] That is implemented though, Linux Security Module, as you stated apparmor SELinux, etc. [09:13] iptable:what is difference between basic commands and advanced commands in linux??Am confused because am new to ubuntu [09:14] doesn't start and /var/log/boot.log is totally empty while runlevel confirms it's at N2 [09:14] ame, download and read: "The Linux Command Line" [09:14] ame: uhm, define basic and advanced command ...? They are all basic to me? [09:14] This is 14.04 on a lxc VM, by the way. [09:15] NikolaiToryzin: you mean a service as in a file in /etc/init or /etc/init.d or something else? [09:15] iptable, It's a totally generic sysvinit daemon in /etc/init.d/ that can be launched with service start [09:16] So upstart really shouldn't have a problem with it [09:16] NikolaiToryzin: how did you enable it to start on boot? also, does it execute if you run it manually and fails just on boot? [09:17] iptable, Executes totally normally if I do it manually, and update-rc.d daemon defaults [09:17] As mentioned before I checked to make sure it made its proper symlinks [09:18] NikolaiToryzin: so, you got it in /etc/rc*.d, it runs manually, doesn't run on boot and it's an LXC container [09:18] iptable, /etc/init.d/ but everything else is correct [09:18] NikolaiToryzin: does upstart have sysvinit script enabled? sysvinint nowadays is just a script in upstart. check in /etc/init [09:19] NikolaiToryzin: I would be tempted to ask if you could make it please into an upstart job instead and check then. Out of couriosity... [09:20] iptable, upstart has a sysvinit script? [09:20] I knew it was a link [09:21] I think it's called rc-sysinint.conf or something [09:21] /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf does exist [09:22] NikolaiToryzin: question is, does it execute in LXC? [09:22] all jobs should be upstart anyways as sysvinit is more or less dead [09:23] iptable, upstart knows it exists [09:23] also, do you have /etc/init.d/rcS script? [09:23] I do have that [09:24] Ok, are there any jobs in /etc/init.d that start on boot that are NOT in /etc/init that actually work? [09:24] I know sysvinit is pretty dead, but I share cluster deploy scripts between a bunch of BSD boxes too [09:24] ugh [09:25] thats a bad idea [09:25] the scripts should be platform/technology specific [09:25] iptable, I don't have any. [09:25] See my last question. Also, does the script have execute permission on it like 775? [09:25] ikonia, It's totally home grown stuff, I /know/ what I'm doing with that :) [09:25] iptable, It does [09:25] root can run scripts which don't have 775, while sysvinit cannot [09:26] I would be tempted to think that init.d is disabled in LXC containers. possibly [09:26] the /bin/init it heavily modified in any case for the containers to work [09:26] I'm slightly afraid of that, or it isn't running somehow [09:27] well, if it runs manually and start, stop, restart work, and the syntax is correct (the commented definitions, etc), then LXC containers have sysvinit disabled [09:27] hello [09:27] you will have to convert it to upstart [09:27] how to rename network interface from em0/1 etc to eth0/1 [09:28] iptable, so gross :) [09:28] one quesiton when i do which mysql it shows the 4 repeated values [09:28] why is that [09:28] MagePsycho, Pastebin it pls [09:28] apparently lxc_init does not have correct boot management for sysvinint to kick in (as sysvinit requires CHANGES to sysV to happen and you are constantly running in same runlevel on the main kernel) [09:28] Not gorss, per design. you shouldn't be using sysvinint anyways ;) [09:29] NikolaiToryzin: ^ [09:29] iptable, Well, then Ubuntu went and figured systemd [09:29] ubuntu is not using systemd [09:29] Wait, that was Debian [09:29] NikolaiToryzin: a workaround would be to create your own upstart job which runs your sysvinint script. it would be dead simple to do. [09:29] the current LTS versions use upstart, that should be your target [09:29] Yeah, lets not start that debate here also. [09:29] Wait, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 [09:30] ikonia, I do, but I worry about many years later [09:30] NikolaiToryzin: many years later you should worry about many years later. important lesson! [09:31] leeyaa: let me google that for you: http://blogs.bu.edu/mhirsch/2012/12/ubuntu-12-10-renaming-ethernet-interfaces-from-p1p1-to-eth0/ [09:32] iptable, read your words in Yoda's voice, I did ... [09:32] haha, cfhowlett, that's bad. it made me laugh like crazy in the office :D [09:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9717484/ [09:33] NikolaiToryzin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9717484/ [09:33] You installed PHP outside of apt :) [09:33] I'd assume you compiled it [09:33] If you don't set the prefix most configures default to /usr/local [09:34] MagePsycho: so, not mysql, but php. you installed it without using the repos and using repos. you got multiple copies of php installed [09:34] iptable, Does upstart do any weird respawning or pid watching things I need to worry about? [09:34] The conf I just made looks file [09:34] fine* [09:34] NikolaiToryzin: yes, you configure it to either respawn or not. If you want it to respawn, you write : respwan [09:35] uhm, respawn :D [09:35] similar for mysql [09:35] yeah i used package manager called homebrew on mac [09:35] MagePsycho: wait, so that' a mac, not ubuntu? [09:35] iptable, Cool, not writing that. We've got our own home grown ways of ensuring this daemon updates itself and restarts without downtime [09:35] yeah but the concept is the same [09:35] MagePsycho, lmao [09:35] MagePsycho: homebrew and OSX do their own installs. Now, it is NOT the same. [09:35] MagePsycho, brew unlink [09:36] unbrew :D [09:36] php^ [09:36] fuck, I just shat myself [09:36] i run ubuntu on virtualbox [09:36] iptable, read your words in Yoda's voice, I did ... [09:36] no you don't, MagePsycho [09:36] NikolaiToryzin: alternatively, when your startup script on host runs lxc-start, it could ssh 1.2.3.4 "service X start" afterwards ;) [09:36] neionz, language and completely offtopic here. stop. [09:36] neionz: Hi. [09:37] iptable, That's awfully gross. [09:37] hi jpds, how's u doin bro? [09:37] cfhowlett: not is, ok me understand, me no u anymore yes. I will. [09:37] NikolaiToryzin: not really. I do that for a few extrmelyt heavy boot VMs to control how fast these boot. [09:38] hello [09:38] MagePsycho: your ubuntu on virtualbox has nothing to do with the fact you are asking an OSX issue on the ubuntu channel... [09:38] when i log in i get 121 packeges can be updated [09:38] but apt-get upgrade shows 0 [09:39] patsourakos: apt-get update [09:39] patsourakos: then check [09:39] I am trying to dump the file using http://www.blog.magepsycho.com/backup-magento-project-files-db-using-bash-script/ [09:39] patsourakos, apt-get dist-upgrade will get them. here's the TEST: apt-get -s dist-upgrade [09:39] now the problem is i xmllnt is not in one of client server and has no root access [09:39] yes dist [09:39] iptable: it’s for the production server btw [09:40] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [09:40] patsourakos: 1. apt-get update!!!!! [09:40] yes did this [09:40] hey, i updated my ubuntu 14.10 and since then unity doesnt start correctly, it only shows the login background; x-0-greeter.log shows a warning: Unable to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: "RegisterClient" [09:40] patsourakos: if you upgraded recenrly then the upgrade check script has not updated. wait 24 hours and reboot while at it [09:40] yes i did update recently [09:40] oh [09:41] any solution other to rebooting ? [09:41] patsourakos: this script runs max once every 24h ours to avoid loads. [09:41] patsourakos: let me check. there was a way to manually force it [09:41] iptable, How do I even get it to realise I put a conf in /etc/init? [09:41] service daemon restart does nothing [09:41] g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error_quark , 0) [09:41] hm anyways it seems now ok .. says system restart required [09:41] NikolaiToryzin: you don't. you just put it there, and that's that [09:42] iptable, But ... how do I start it? [09:42] upstart is so odd [09:43] NikolaiToryzin: 'tis actually quite nice. [09:43] you just type in service servicename start [09:44] iptable, holy hell that just worked. [09:44] not the service part, but the booting magically all on its own [09:44] cool [09:44] patsourakos: so it updated [09:44] patsourakos: you need to reboot [09:44] This is freaking magic [09:48] iptable: i tried googling first, i dont have 70-persistent-net.rules [09:48] udev rules directory is empty [09:49] Hello, is MaaS usable for a lot (10) of VM on the same machine ? [09:50] Hi guys! I'm having a strange hard drive issue on my server/htpc, would greatly appreciate any help [09:51] once in a while, about every one or two days it occurs and the file system is remounted read only [09:51] got the following in syslog: http://pastebin.com/AKYz69jV [09:52] PhilippeGeek: MAAS is barebones machine administration and deeployment device. it is usable for 2+ machines [09:52] Tried google but didn't find anything good. Some are suggesting to replace the hard drive or just reinstall. [09:53] simonon: run smart test [09:53] iptable: Ok, but is ther no MAAS like system for VMs [09:53] Tried running smartctl on the disk with no errors found [09:53] simonon: could be your controller is dying instead [09:53] simonon: or HDD is dying and smart didn't pick it up [09:54] simonon: anyways, it's end of life is approaching [09:54] PhilippeGeek: nothing is stopping you from administering your VMs using MAAS or Juju. [09:54] right, so I guess it's best to replace before it dies completely and causes further problems [09:54] PhilippeGeek: and MAAS supports multiple power methods, so yes, you can use it with VMs if you wish to do so [09:55] simonon: most likely. reinstall while replacing to get a gfresh OS. [09:55] iptable: What is the diff between MAAS and Juju ? [09:56] iptable: yup, I'll do so. thanks for helping out [09:56] PhilippeGeek: MAAS = deploy machines from images as per deployment configuration, provision machines and get them ready. Juju = deploy services (not machines). Like 'deploy wordpress on this machine and connect it auto-magically to apache there and a database over there please' [09:57] juju works with MAAS as well to auto-deploy machines with services you wish [09:57] and if you slap openstack on top, it's even cooler. you can deploy machines with MAAS, deploy openstack with juju, deploy services on openstack with juju installed on openstack and administer VMs with MAAS too [09:57] have fun :D [10:03] hey I added a script to .xinitrc to run it on startup but it is not being run. How do I run things on startup with ubuntu? [10:07] okay. I added it to the graphical startup app list [10:09] onla: run graphical things or just command line scripts? [10:09] cmd line script [10:09] onla: command line scripts = /etc/init/ or /etc/init.d/ (with update-rc.d) or /etc/rc.local or /etc/crontab with @reboot as time specification [10:10] pick one [10:10] ok ty === rich-_ is now known as rich- [10:27] Hello✋ [10:37] Hello world ;-) [10:41] Hello [10:41] Hello, is there any chance to have LibreOffice working properly with fglrx? :\ [10:42] Ye bhau [10:44] Hey. Would it be possible (and easy) to install a web server on Ubuntu Desktop just so I can easily experiment with web development and databases? [10:44] Is the process the same as installing Apache to a remote server [10:44] quackgyver, very easy [10:44] and I just interact with localhost? [10:44] HoloIRCUser1, ask your ubuntu questions [10:44] Or is there something more to it [10:44] quackgyver, same process. [10:44] Awesome. Thanks a lot. [10:45] Nvidia drivers works good with addition drivers or bumblebee [10:46] nvidia drivers work best nowadays with nvidia-prime, not bumblebee [10:46] although for a few-year-old cards, bumblebee is the only one that will work [10:46] Ohk [10:47] Thanks [10:56] Crap.

I need to replace the hyphens with underscores. I'm trying to do it with find . -type -d -exec mv which is currently proving unsuccessful.

I will give it a try and report back [14:07] stetho: if you use emacs, you can easily do it with emacs and wdired mode [14:07] stetho: you can use rename [14:08] MariaB: whats the problem exactly?

I only want to rename directories. [14:09] Did I miss something? [14:10] stetho: You use find to find the directories, and -execdir rename to do the renaming [14:11] lotuspsychje: hi, my hard disk is freezing the computer and i was told it has bad sectors and i need to check it [14:11] MariaB, and?

[14:27] OpCharlieHebdo [14:27] they do [14:27] lotus, i have dconf-editor installed. i am unable to find the PM settings though [14:27] tried it.. it's awful [14:27] Guest81083: lemme find that holdon [14:27] too much blob from the ad-droid kernel hackery and too buggy [14:27] daftykins: ok, thank you and lotuspsychje and cfhowlett very much :) [14:28] MariaB, best of luck [14:29] lotuspsychje: some day..... some.... day heh [14:29] Guest81083: org/gnome/settings/daemon/plugins/power [14:29] hopefully the unity docking portion of phones or maybe there will be more ubuntu tablets if these phones come out [14:29] that use arm [14:29] Guest81083: did you also check bios for any weird acpi settings maybe? [14:29] i'd give anything for an asus with a battery dock that is like 10x faster and fully works with ubuntu [14:30] this thing can stay on for an entire day under heavy use with the battery dock [14:30] hi [14:30] lotuspsychje : the bios settings only allow for change of boot order ..nothing else [14:31] ita?

I've installed ubuntu 14.10 with live dvd and it works, but on the first boot it stays black. there is just a blinking underscore on the second line. any suggestions? btw the right boot device is selected ;) [14:33] Hi [14:33] wyx: did you try also 14.04? [14:34] lotuspsychje: yep tried both. same result. I've also tried to enter the grub menu by pressing and holding shift during boot or by pressing esc. but it didnt work. I've tried legacy and uefi booting too [14:35] wyx: you sure you turned off fastboot + secureboot correctly? [14:35] lotuspsychje: i hope so... i'll check it once again.

[14:38] wyx: normally if you set to legacy, must be good === fe is now known as Guest79413 [14:38] lotuspsychje: thought so ;) [14:38] wyx: so, if you boot your usb can you hit f1 to see options? [14:39] wyx: choose setup or live [14:39] lotuspsychje: sure if i'm booting it from the live image.i can run both... [14:39] wyx: yes, but can you try F1 at the boot of your usb to enter more options [14:40] Hello [14:40] wyx: nomodeset etc [14:40] lotuspsychje: okay booted [14:41] wyx: looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/O2m9a.png [14:41] lotuspsychje: yeah thanks, got it [14:42] wyx: you could try nomodeset, what kind of machine is this?

[15:09] premoboss: nope unnecessary [15:09] premoboss: only address, netmask, gateway [15:09] ok [15:10] maybe nameservers if you want to override [15:10] or remove the package 'resolvconf' then hardcode into /etc/resolv.conf [15:10] i suspect they are uneecessary because .0 and .255 should be reserved automatically [15:10] i wll take only add, net and gat, [15:11] i set nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [15:11] that gets overridden at boot if resolvconf is present [15:11] hi [15:11] hackers [15:12] resolfconf overvrite /etc/reseolv.com in bad mode "nameserver 192.168.1.1" and take my PC outside internet.

[15:19] is it possible to set up an HTTP proxy server on my computer that uses a SOCKS5 proxy? [15:19] cobra-the-joker: yes, and also the #gnome channel [15:19] cobra-the-joker: if it's 12.04/14.04/14.10 yes [15:20] cobra-the-joker, possibly. ask your question [15:21] coolstar: you want to run a server, or just being anon yourself? [15:21] cobra-the-joker, note: #ubuntu-gnome is the correct channel [15:22] cfhowlett: tnx for the hint [15:22] lotuspsychje, I currently use SSH to bypass web restrictions at school (SSH creates a socks5 proxy on my laptop), but if I want to get my iPhone unblocked I need to set up an HTTP proxy on here as well [15:22] !squid | coolstar [15:22] coolstar: squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org [15:22] nice ... i was just wondering if it is an official release of ubuntu supported by the community [15:23] is there a way to programatically get the default prefix for new users HOME dir? In other words: where is "/home" defined? [15:23] MestreLion: echo ~ [15:23] MariaB: that's for the home dir of an existing user, correct? [15:23] lotuspsychje, I'm assuming I just use squid without squidguard? [15:24] how come ubuntu server minimal system takes almost 1 gb of space? [15:24] coolstar: didnt test myself [15:24] huma: what do you want to achieve? [15:25] cobra-the-joker: yes its supported [15:26] huma: that's the way it goes. it was about 700MB 5 years ago, so no real huge change [15:26] MestreLion: yes [15:26] MariaB: that's for existing users, which can be different than the default. Also, '~' does not work in scripts [15:27] Hi, I have openjdk-6-jdk installed. I want to install Java 7. Is it enough to just install openjdk-7-jre, or will this cause lots of trouble due to having 2 java versions installed? [15:27] or will /etc/alternatives handle that? [15:27] !java | cousteau [15:27] cousteau: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [15:27] cousteau: you'd then use some kind of update-alternatives command yeah [15:28] lotuspsychje, daftykins: i'm going through the os dev book which uses ubuntu and coming from arch pretty amazed how bloated the "minimal system" on ubuntu is :) [15:28] I need a way to get (or set) the default prefix for new users. The convention is "/home", but is that defined anywhere in a system? [15:28] MestreLion: it will show the home dir of an existing user, it works in scripts. [15:28] ok, so `sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk` would be enough? [15:28] huma: what did you expect really? how small do you need it? [15:28] MestreLion: the home folder is defined in the passwdfile [15:28] (assuming I also want to compile java) [15:28] huma: apparently it turned 2015 the other day ;) [15:29] ...well, now that I think of it, maybe I only install the jre; that way if I ever compile Java it'll use the v6 JDK and thus be compatible with java 6 [15:29] MestreLion: if nobody comes up with anything, #bash [15:29] cousteau: you should also upgrade the icedtea-plugin [15:29] lotuspsychje: ha i've probably spotted the error... my ssd is sdb, and during the installation it saided grubinstall /dev/sda... [15:29] MestreLion, ok. Screw icedtea though. [15:29] having flash in the browser is enough trouble already [15:30] wyx: ahhhh, you need to config your ssd to primary then, for fast ubuntu boot [15:30] lotuspsychje: it installed grub to the wrong harddisk...now i booted from my hdd and it works. [15:30] cousteau: yes, update-alternatives handle the switch, but since there are *many* java-related switches, there is update-java-alternatives :) [15:30] wyx: but you installed ubuntu on mechanical hd instead of ssd? [15:31] cousteau: which will switch all alternatives at once for your chosen java version [15:31] lotuspsychje: partitioned ok it sounds like [15:31] just GRUB in the wrong spot [15:31] ahh [15:31] kk [15:31] MestreLion, wait, is icedtea only the browser plugin? or also some sort of java runtime thing I'll always need? [15:31] lotuspsychje: nope... thats the trick. I've installed everything on the sdd (/dev/sdb) and it automatically made the grubinstall to /dev/sda (one of my hdds) [15:31] cousteau: the java browser plugin only. But if you have it, it should match your current java version [15:31] wyx: did you build your system, or plugin a new ssd? [15:32] lotuspsychje: i've always tried to boot from my sdd /dev/sdb what didnt wokr. [15:32] lotuspsychje: i'd expect a "minimal system" to be about 250 mb [15:32] lotuspsychje: both ;) [15:32] MestreLion, ok, so it's irrelevant that I still have openjdk-6-jre? If the default Java is 7 it won't work? [15:32] wyx: maybe sata configged wrong, so it doesnt take ssd as primary? [15:32] (also, aren't these things backwards compatible?) [15:32] wyx: wich ssd brand plz? [15:33] cousteau: you can have both java 6 and 7, and set up which will be the default using `update-java-alternatives`. Do not use `update-alternatives` directly, there are dozen of aliases [15:33] daftykins: 2015, indeed. hmm, let's see how much arch is taking up these days on the minimal installation. [15:33] huma: not sure if a server can be so small, check the #ubuntu-server guys [15:33] oh I see [15:34] what's the command? `update-java-alternatives --auto`? [15:34] lotuspsychje: it's an crucial m4. 128 gig. yeah maybe i'll leave grub on my hdd or i'll just make another grub-install to sdb [15:34] lotuspsychje: or do you recommend switching the sata channels? [15:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java doesn't even mention update-java-alternatives [15:34] huma: i think the idea is to provide a minimal setup with a lot of commonly used tools etc etc, i'm sure you could prune it a lot. [15:34] i have this stop sign coming up at the top right of my ubuntu 14.04 [15:35] near the wifi/time icons [15:35] wyx: nice one, i would checkout POST boot info, to see what hd boots first [15:35] cousteau: --list first, then --set [15:35] sheer: that's probably the package manager reporting an error [15:35] EriC^^_, it is. what do i do about it? [15:35] sheer: click on it [15:35] i did. [15:35] try sudo apt-get -f install [15:36] wyx: anyway enjoy your ubuntu experience now :p [15:36] oh. and it just vanished. only about a minute after doing that command you just gave me. thank you. [15:36] cousteau: --auto will set the version defined as default for your ubuntu relase. Thats java 6 for 12.04 and 7 for 14.04 [15:36] MestreLion, hmm, that only shows version 6-- oh damn, I forgot to remove the -s in apt-get m( [15:36] lotuspsychje: i'll chekc on that tomorrow. but thanks for your help anyway. ;) yeah just this tiny little glimps with grub-install /dev/sda. not quite sure if it's a bug if you install to /dev/sdb and the grub-install still goes for /dev/sda [15:37] EriC^^_, before i go through the linux commandline ebook....... how do i uninstall pidgin from the command lien? [15:37] line* [15:37] sheer: sudo apt-get purge [15:37] cousteau: theres also the package `default-jdk/jre`, which will install the default version for your release [15:37] wyx: sounds like hd's are switched around places from bios/mobo [15:37] wyx: trusty will go rocketfast on your crucial :p [15:37] thanks again [15:38] lotuspsychje: thanks and bye ;) [15:38] cousteau: so if you don't have any need for a specific version and simply wants to install java, go with "sudo apt-get install default-jdk". and IIRC, it will also pull the plugin [15:39] yeah, this is an old ubuntu and that version is 1.6, but I need 1.7 [15:40] cousteau: how old? :P [15:40] 12.04 [15:41] cousteau: then all you need is `sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk icedtea-7-plugin` [15:41] (it's the PC at work and I don't want to do many weird things on it) [15:42] is the JDK necessary/recommended? if I'm ever going to make Java I'd prefer to make it as portable as possible, so maybe JDK should remain at 1.6 [15:42] cousteau: it will pull all the needed java-related packages. It will not remove java 6, and it *may* also set the new version as the default, but you could check using update-java-alternatives [15:43] well, apt-get install openjdk-7-jre didn't set the alternative directly, but your update-java-alternatives trick worked [15:43] hi guys i have to now how to join ubuntu italy [15:43] cousteau: because that's just the jre [15:44] district97: /join #ubuntu-it [15:45] !it | district97 [15:45] district97: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [15:45] how i write that message [15:45] district97, repeat with me: [15:45] /join #ubuntu-it [15:45] cousteau: it's 2015, it's pretty safe (and recommended) to develop using java 7. It will work fine in java 6 too as long as you don't use any java 7-specific routines [15:46] thanks guys [15:46] yw :) [15:46] MestreLion, well, it's not the first time I run into "version 51 not found!" messages... are you sure this only happens if I use 7-only functions? [15:47] cousteau: incompatibilities goes both ways, so if I face one I'd rather ask a user to upgrade from 6 to 7 than asking to downgrade his 7 to 6 [15:47] ok, screw it then [15:48] Question: How is ps -A different from sudo ps -A? Maybe they the same? [15:48] Magnus__, well, the sudo one may show things the regular one can't [15:49] Question about the upgrade from tar 1.26 (in 12.04) to tar 1.27 (14.04). The release notes say this: [15:49] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Y5i5zPW0 [15:49] MestreLion, and it seems that I needed the update-java-alternatives anyway [15:49] Such as? [15:49] Does that now mean that --skip-old-files is what -k *used* to be? [15:49] Magnus__, processes owned by root that are hidden to other users [15:49] (no idea which) [15:49] Thanks [15:50] cousteau: for example: java 7 is available since *at least* Ubuntu 10.04. We don't know how log will Java 6 be available for new distros. [15:50] Magnus__: diff <(ps -A ) <(sudo ps -A) will tell you which [15:51] cousteau: also windows machines tends to have 7 only for several years [15:51] michagogo: no. keep old files made a error 2 out of duplicates on exiting. -skip old files now just skips them without error [15:51] MestreLion, really? weird [15:52] michagogo: both dont override duplicates, but the old one made a drama, the new one just skips. [15:52] (does java7 for Windows still have that annoying installer trying to put the ask.com bar everywhere?) [15:52] k1l_: wait, what? [15:52] cousteau: weird how? the java update for windows always install the latest version [15:52] cousteau: affirmative ;) [15:53] k1l_: I know the difference between --skip- and --keep-old-files now in 1.27 [15:53] and yes it does :) [15:53] MestreLion, well, weird because the (rare) occasions when I see the updater it says something about version 6 iirc [15:53] My question is this: as far as I can tell from reading the messages, --skip-old-files in 1.27 is equivalent to -k/--keep-old-files **in 1.26**. [15:53] although maybe I recall incorrectly [15:54] cousteau: on windows? [15:54] Is that incorrect? [15:54] MestreLion, yes but as I said I rarely go there and I rarely run the updater [15:54] anyway this went offtopic and I don't want to pollute the channel [15:54] michagogo: in the end: no duplicates are overwritten: yes. [15:54] no prob [15:54] michagogo: but not in the messages you see while its done [15:55] * cousteau goes to #ubuntu-offtopic just in case [15:55] k1l_: I ask because there's a script that uses tar -k, with some of the destination files already existing [15:55] in precise, that script worked fine [15:55] Now, in trusty, it fails and says "Cannot open: File exists" [15:56] michagogo: yes, use the skip option [15:56] k1l_: so the exact behavior of 1.26's -k is not 1.27's --skip? [15:57] s/not/now/ [15:57] tomodachi: /etc/passwrd lists the current home dir of each existing user. New users by default are set to "/home/". Is that default defined anywhere an admin could change, or a script could read? [15:57] michagogo: from man tar on 14.10: -k, --keep-old-files don't replace existing files when extracting, treat them as errors [15:57] k1l_: ...yes [15:58] I know what -k does in trusty (and presumably also in utopic) [15:58] yes, just checked, they're both 1.27 [15:58] michagogo: so they are errors now. you want to use --skip-old-files if you dont want them to be treated as errors [15:59] k1l_: I was just looking for confirmation that 1.26 (12.04)'s -k is exactly parallel to 1.27's --skip-old-files [15:59] And it sounds like that's the case [15:59] Hello, whenever I transfer files with SFTP it saturates my entire connection and I can not load any simple http pages or ping anything. This is on a commercial network connection as well. The actual 'speed' of transfer is nowhere near the cap of the connection. [15:59] Can I throttle it somehow? [16:00] michagogo: -k, --keep-old-files don't replace existing files when extracting <<< that is from a 12.04 [16:00] k1l_: yeah, already looked at that manpage [16:00] It does, however, silently ignore them, rather than being an error [16:00] michagogo: so its really like they said in their changelog: they changed -k from no errors to errors :) [16:00] Okay, thanks [16:01] So I just installed Ubuntu 14 on my desktop rig, and after login it freezes, I've got a nvidia card (650 Ti Boost), in 12.04 I had no problems. Seems to happen with nouveau, nvidia-304 (from repo), nvidia-331.38 from nvidia's website wouldn't install (haven't checked into that fully yet), and regardless of DE (tested unity, gnome 3 and xfce). Any suggestions from savvy people? :) [16:01] also,please ^ [16:01] MestreLion: /etc/adduser.conf [16:01] Bobbo: there is more than just 304 from built-in repos, 319 and 331 too. [16:02] thanks geirha ! :D [16:02] daftykins: sorry, that was from nvidia-current. [16:02] Bobbo: purge nvidia* then install nvidia-331 anyway [16:03] MestreLion: well depends on how you add the account, if you use useradd the manpage states that it will use the home folder specified in the /etc/default/useradd or /home/ by default [16:03] Bobbo, which ubuntu 14? 14.04 or 14.10 ?

[16:19] did you run sudo nvidia-xconfig ? Bobbo [16:19] Am now. :£ [16:20] i've successfully been using ubuntu mini 14.04 with just installing `xserver-xorg and lightdm`, but now I'm trying to reduce the amount of packages that get installed and I'm trying with the following ` sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-all xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-video-ati [16:20] daftykins: i didn't have so good of an experience with the nouveau drivers, and sometimes the original nvidia drivers work very well [16:20] and `sudo apt-get install --no-installed-recommends lightdm` === Ullan is now known as help [16:21] BluesKaj: No dice. :3 [16:21] the last part is definitely not true for all versions of their drivers, but the latest one appear to work great so far (for me, that is) [16:21] but it seems that I'm missing something because when I reboot the system I don't see the lightdm login greeter. === help is now known as Guest24552 [16:21] hydrajump: do you see no greeter at all? or just a different one?

[16:32] hi,i know this channel isnt for my question but pls answer me :) [16:32] farbod, you are seen [16:32] ppf: it's not a dependency, it actually breaks gnupg2 [16:32] ppf: apt-cache show gpgsm [16:33] farbod: if you already know its offtopic you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or search for a channel that suits your question better with alis [16:33] !alis | farbod [16:33] farbod: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[16:34] thank you :) [16:34] EriC^^_: because in showpkg it's listed as a dependency [16:34] (furthermore, how does gpgsm break gnupg2?)

[16:45] ppf: yeah [16:46] EriC^^_, don't all the apt-cache command pull from the same package database? I don't understand why showpkg could be more or less accurate than other apt-cache command [16:46] cfhowlett: me neither, but showpkg supposedly pulls forward dependencies, so it's recursive, and i guess it has a bug or something [16:47] EriC^^_, OK [16:47] i had a list of forward dependencies of gcc for someone who asked here once, and bogus stuff show in in showpkg [16:49] EriC^^_, dang! [16:49] Is there a way I can debug lightdm startup scripts? I can't tell if mine are running or just broken. [16:49] EyeOfMidas: In your script, add lines to echo text to a file, you can then read the file and know the script is running [16:51] @ActionParsnip_ great idea. Thanks :) [16:53] It worked! Except this means my script is broken. [16:55] ok well have the echos output variables and such to the text file so you can see what is being used. [16:55] hello Linux community . [16:56] Is there any reason why xrandr wouldn't make the requested changes on either display-setup-script or greeter-setup-script?

Intel crawls compared to intell [17:02] GeForce 635 . yourbeau that's a beast. Intel crawls compared to nvidia [17:02] yourbeau: maybe it's already disabled and your using Intel. [17:03] morning all [17:04] strangler, look that might be beast but only with non-free drivers I don't like it [17:05] how can I manipulate the system time? [17:05] everytime I use date to set it -- something is correcting it back [17:06] as far as I can gather, NTP is not enabled ... [17:06] My system can run the script just fine, and xrandr sets everything up corrrectly. But when I put the same script under greeter-setup-script it doesn't seem to change the monitor configuration [17:07] but the script is definitely being called [17:07] does anyone frequently work with wget? [17:07] Malcorox, a bit [17:08] cfhowlett: is it possible to wget a page looking for a username/password form? [17:08] yourbeau: maybe do it in bios. [17:08] possible regex, but not sure if there is an option or response within wget that would indicate the presence already [17:08] Malcorox, you mean interactively sign in?

[17:13] cfhowlett: it's going to be an aha moment, but for now, it's something that's been puzzling me for about a week [17:13] Malcorox, you can definitely pass a proxy login/passwordd [17:14] MaaS Question .. Does the MaaS server handle the DHCP on the private network, or would that be something that I have to add separately? [17:14] cfhowlett: yup, just looking for how that affects the output for validation against sites that do or don't have a prompt for credentials [17:15] e.g. pass in a list of URLs into wget, with the proper options to pass username/password if a form exists [17:15] might be able to look for an 'invalid username/password' in the response though [17:15] Malcorox, again: never done that but ... looks like the --post-date=string or --post-file=file options are what you're after [17:16] cfhowlett: thanks, I'm going to check in on this, see if I can get it to work === cwoebker_ is now known as cwoebker [17:29] how do i use ghex to identify 0x0f in a jpg file [17:35] hello everyone!

[18:32] nithin: Define "it is not working". What are you trying (which commands exactly) and what happens (complete output in a pastebin)? [18:32] looking for the openssl security updates?! [18:32] anyone have a clue [18:32] !ssl [18:32] !ssl [18:32] :D [18:33] lv_: Was there something recent that you're epxecting to see?

[18:37] joined [18:38] Fire_Cat, /join #channel [18:38] bekks: hello you there? [18:38] bubbasaures: this is just an example. [18:39] itisit, Cool, looked at it's use and saw amazon is all. [18:40] itisit, My guess is a bloat clean, if this is the issue a net install will allow you to install what you want. [18:40] julian-delphiki: thanks! [18:42] subsume: it looks like the nginx init.d script just checks whatever the pid file in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf is (default seems to be /run/nginx.pid) so you might check that file and see if the pid matches [18:42] bubbasaures: I don't get what you said. I want to uninstall package A, package B, C, D depend on it already installed. Now how to just simply uninstall A without removing B, C, D? thanks [18:42] trism: yeah they match fine and its running [18:43] subsume: what output to do get from /etc/init.d/nginx status; ? [18:43] "nginx is not running" [18:43] itisit, no prob, I will have to default to don't do that in the end myself, best of luck. ;) [18:43] bubbasaures: now I got it:-) [18:44] subsume: not sure then, very weird [18:44] yeah [18:44] Is there any Linux program that can view OneNote files? [18:49] NinjaCowboy, any linux would be ##linux [18:50] Ubuntu is the distro that I use, so I figured it would be appropriate here. [18:51] Is udev broken in ubuntu? [18:52] Because whatever I do I can't seem to make it work with my script. [18:52] NinjaCowboy: there are official microsoft web apps, also for onenote [18:52] It should be dead simple, but it doesn't budge [18:52] NinjaCowboy, Than ask in a way that shows that. [18:53] NinjaCowboy: interesting stuff here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/19230/microsoft-onenote-alternative [18:53] NinjaCowboy, Like the last user I looked on the net, but was not sure really what was going on.

[19:01] Confused between terminal and console [19:01] wjtaylor: a console is a terminal [19:01] console = terminal = command line = CLI [19:01] = shell [19:01] etc. [19:02] some systems make a difference between console and terminal. Console seems to be a special case. [19:03] wjtaylor: it is still all the same thing [19:04] don't get confused [19:04] ok [19:06] wjtaylor: differentiating them properly involves a bit of history. As lawr says, they all do the same thing. [19:13] ok.

Anyone know what's wrong? [19:45] are there way to install php 5.3.last on ubuntu? what is easiest way exclude compile? [19:47] Hello, i have a bunch of duplicate hidden "text" files in folders that contain text files, ending with ~ why is that? [19:47] kokut: Your text editor is configured to make temporary files like that. [19:48] Jordan_U: gedit? [19:48] thats weird [19:50] Jordan_U: well im gonna see if i can configure it to stop bc i like seeing hidden files and every time i go into my "texts" folder all fires are duplicated === saschpe is now known as zz_saschpe [19:54] Nm, my problem was I was using sudo gpg instead of 'sudo apt-key adv'. Didn't know there was a difference. [19:57] How do I manually rebuild /etc/group- to encorporate changes to /etc/group? [20:00] hey dudes :) [20:01] CrtxReavr: /etc/group- is just a backup of /etc/group [20:02] trism, okay, if I manaully add a user to a group, now do I get it to take effect then? [20:02] Ive been fighting with Virtual box all evening. Got it installed on headless 14.04 server. accessing it via Remmina. every time i install Guest additions on it it stops booting. google was no help so im seeking your wisdom :) [20:03] i === hamnstar is now known as supernintendocha === supernintendocha is now known as sneschalmers [20:04] hexdsl: #vbox and/or #ubuntu-server irc channels here on freenode. vbox is the Virtualbox channel [20:05] squinty: thanks [20:05] CrtxReavr: you need to log out/ back in when you add new groups to your user === sneschalmers is now known as hamnstar [20:07] trism, so I see. . . kooky. BSD & Solaris are not like that. /etc/groups is queried every time there's a group function. [20:07] Thaks. [20:07] Thanks even. [20:08] Which package include the /usr/bin/time binary? [20:08] Hello everyone! I've just made a fresh install of Windoz 7 and Kubuntu 14.04 on a desktop computer. First I've installed windows and afterwards Kubuntu. Both OS are on the same disk, 2 different partitions. When i finished the installation of Kubuntu, it booted directly in Kubuntu, no GRUB appeared. I tried the "boot-repair GUI" and now GRUB does appear, but there is no option for booting into windows. [20:08] and what is the way to search for such information? === hamnstar is now known as THRILLHO [20:08] Pharaoh2: dpkg -S /usr/bin/time [20:08] ahh thanks [20:08] Pharaoh2: You're welcome. === THRILLHO is now known as hamnstar [20:09] chemist^: Run "sudo update-grub" [20:09] When I try to run "update-grub" it updates the list, but does not recognize where windows is installed. (still no option for booting into windows) .... fdisk -l shows the partition [20:09] Oh. [20:09] theadmin :) [20:09] Pharaoh2: fwiw, the following is a good reference too http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [20:10] chemist^: What is the output, if any, of "sudo os-prober"? [20:10] i have /dev/sda1 - linux, then /dev/sda2 - HPFS/NTFS/exFAT and /dev/sda3 - swap [20:10] Jordan_U no oudput [20:10] output [20:10] !bootinfo | chemist^ [20:10] chemist^: 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. [20:11] Jordan_U can this be of any help to you? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9720359/ .... it's from the boot-repair [20:11] chemist^: Usually if os-prober doesn't find an installation of Windows, it's because that installation is missing files needed for Windows to boot. Usually these files are missing because Windows' "System Partition" was accidentally deleted. [20:13] Jordan_U hmm...should i try using the windows dvd to repair it and then the kubuntu live cd for updating grub? [20:13] Jordan_U before i installed kubuntu it booted into windows normally [20:13] hi, i have copied my public key into .ssh/authorized_keys but still i am asked for password when i try to do ssh. Do i need to do something else as well? [20:13] stangeland have you disabled the password in your sshd conf.? [20:14] chemist^, hmmm no [20:14] chemist^, where is that config? [20:14] chemist^, /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? [20:15] stangeland the configuration file of the ssh server [20:16] i don't remember the exact path [20:16] chemist^, ok and what do i change in there? [20:16] there are few files there, it shouldn't be hard to find [20:16] Hi everyone! ive bought an asus PU301LA and after install ubuntu the trackpad goes like crazy when i touch it [20:16] search for password and see if it's enabled [20:16] shows and hides windows etc [20:16] salut [20:16] does anyone here could help me? [20:16] chemist^, now its set as: #PasswordAuthentication yes [20:16] chemist^, so its already disabled? [20:16] then set it as no [20:17] and delete the hashtag [20:17] "uncomment" the line [20:17] chemist^, ok, and restart ssh service? [20:17] don't know [20:17] try and see :D [20:17] Jordan_U have you had a look at the link i gave you? [20:18] chemist^, still its asking for owd [20:18] pwd [20:18] chemist^: Indeed, it looks like you accidentally deleted your Windows System Partition (It's a small partition near the beginning of the drive that contains the files Windows needs to load before switching to the NT kernel). I don't know how to restore that partition, ##windows can probably help you there. [20:19] Hi everyone! ive bought an asus PU301LA and after install ubuntu the trackpad goes like crazy when i touch it shows and hides windows etc. [20:20] Bah... how could i have deleted it? .. when i was installing kubuntu, the partition manager did not show any other partition except the windows partition and unallocated space [20:20] chemist^, can i somehow see loaded config? [20:20] could it be that the kubuntu installer did not recognize it and showed it as unallocated space? [20:22] squinty: Thanks, that also let me see the changelog to check if the rss issue was fixed :) [20:22] chemist^: That doesn't sound likely, while there is a bug unfortunately where a corrupted partition table will show up as a completely "unallocated" drive in the installer, that wouldn't cause only a single partition to not be shown. [20:24] Jordan_U this is the first time this happens to me...i had installed double-boot windows/ubuntu many times..i only had problems with windows overwriting the mbr or grub (don't know how it's actually called) IF I installed ubuntu first....learned my lesson, doing the other way around since then === Shaun__ is now known as Shaun [20:25] chemist^: I don't know what to tell you :( [20:25] hi, i have put PasswordAuthentication no in my sshd_config and added public key to authorized_keys, but i am still being asked for password when ssh'ing. what am i missing? [20:26] Jordan_U :( thanks anyway [20:26] stangeland have you restarted the service? [20:26] chemist^, yeah [20:26] stangeland: pastebin the output of ssh -vvv yourhost.goes.here [20:26] is there any term for refering to an administrator that only monitors systems? [20:27] stangeland: and the output of 'grep ssh /var/log/auth.log' [20:27] Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9720574/ [20:28] Jordan_U I really....but really don't feel like installing windows all over again :D and then again repairing the grub from the ubuntu live cd....such a drag [20:28] (the second one is to be run on the host you're sshing to) [20:28] chemist^, a hint, it's best to use manual partitioning when installing dual boot setups, that method assures access to the correct partitions [20:28] BluesKaj_ i do use the manual partitioning [20:28] for many years now [20:29] chemist^, set mountpoints etc ? [20:29] stangeland: looks like id_rsa is corrupted/broken [20:29] always create an ext4 with boot on / and a swap partition....along side the already-installed windows [20:29] BluesKaj_: chemist^: I actually usually give the opposite advice, go with automatic and you're less likely to make human mistakes (the installer is pretty darn good at doing the right thing WRT partitioning). [20:29] Seveas, hmmm ok...but i just created it using ssh-keygen -t rsa [20:30] BluesKaj_ yes, i told Jordan_U before I use this method for years now, never had any issues [20:30] Seveas, should i try and create a new? === dog is now known as Guest81171 [20:30] stangeland: ah, then it's probably simply encrypted. Yeah, it's asking for the passphrase to your *key* === zzz_Ridley is now known as Ridley5 [20:30] (didn't read all the way down yet) [20:30] stangeland: add it to your ssh-agent with ssh-add [20:30] Seveas, mmm ok - but why is it asking that? i just want to avoid writing any password [20:31] if you're running Ubuntu desktop, adding it to your agent will make it store that passphrase in your keychain so it'll be decrypted when you log in [20:31] so run ssh-add once now (and type your password once) and then never again :) [20:32] Seveas, ssh-add .ssh/id_rsa i get Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. [20:32] stangeland: then you're not running Ubuntu desktop. [20:32] Jordan_U, i prefer the manual method since i use both / and /home plus swap...I don't trust auto partitioning [20:32] Seveas, mmm true i am on ubuntu with xfce. i dont like that unity stuff :( [20:33] stangeland: and I don't know how xubuntu integrates this, I'm afraid. === l2ksolkov is now known as Guest35190 [20:33] Seveas, hmmm damn :/ [20:33] Jordan_U i honestly think i will waste less time reinstalling windows and repairing grub with my live kubuntu cd, than trying to find a solution to fix the windoz boot partition [20:33] stangeland: maybe try googling 'xubuntu ssh agent' [20:34] Seveas, furthermore this is not my main user i am logged in with. i did sudo su compute before doing the ssh [20:35] stangeland: ah, that definitely doesn't help. Try from a fresh terminal as your main user [20:35] Seveas, hmmm ok - but the thing is i want this to be run as the compute user [20:36] Seveas, what i want is the compute user to be able to ssh to compute@localhost without being prompted for any passwords [20:36] Hi, Is it possible to add "New Document" to popup menu in gnome shell? [20:36] stangeland: let me guess, from a noninteractive process too? [20:37] chemist^, i didn't catch your issue exactly, could you explain again ? [20:37] Seveas, mmm no thats not necessary [20:37] Seveas, or what do you mean by that? [20:37] stangeland: I mean that you may just want to store the key unencrypted (ssh-keygen -p ~/.ssh/id_rsa to decrypt, just don't enter a new passphrase) [20:38] Seveas, aha ok, what does that do? does that store same private key in an unencrypted version? [20:39] stangeland: yes. === bhunkar_ is now known as bhunkar [20:39] I'd also add a from=localhost to your authorized_keys entry in this case to limit the attack surface you open with this. [20:41] Seveas, ack: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. [20:42] hi === JeremyD is now known as SleePy [20:42] what is analog of lubricant in linux? [20:42] *an analog [20:43] Seveas, ahhh sry my bad...wrong err msg [20:43] Seveas, it was: ssh-keygen -p .ssh/id_rsa Too many arguments. [20:43] i have 3 screens cant get the 3rd to work, 1 vga to mb 1 dvi to mb 1 vga to pcie both gpus are ati any 2 screens work in whatever order just not 3 any help fixing this ? [20:43] stangeland: my fault. ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa [20:44] snwr34p3r: does xrandr show all three? [20:45] yes and the display in sys settings shows all 3 but only 2 turn on if i turn 1 off the other turns on [20:45] Seveas, ah nice - thanks :) where do i add that from=localhost in the auth_keys? Just in the end after the guests hostname? [20:46] snwr34p3r: how do you turn them on/off? [20:46] hi-- i need to connect to the console of my switch...in windows i would use hyperterminal, connected to COM1...how can i do this with the terminal emulators in ubuntu [20:46] i open system settings goto display and the 3 screens show i click one thats working and tick it off and the 1 that wouldnt turn on will come alive [20:46] stangeland: your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys entry should look like this: from=localhost ssh-rsa AAAAB3N...... [20:47] Seveas, hmm when i put that i get permission denied [20:47] snwr34p3r: try some xrandr commands (I'm afraid I have to refer you to the manpage for details, it's been a while since I had to mess with this) [20:48] stangeland: that's at least a step further. Pastebin the output of grep ssh /var/log/auth.log and ssh -vvv localhost [20:48] ses1984: apt-cache show minicom (in a terminal) [20:49] A friend of mine is having issues with his Toshiba laptop and the screen flickering at the very top of the screen, No matter what drivers he installs or desktop environment he uses.

One sec. [20:50] danny, is there anything wrong with the hardware, or do you know that it's a software issue? [20:50] Hello guys. [20:50] Fnally i toke my time for upgrade my ubuntu 12.04 to the latest LTS version [20:50] stangeland: looks like it needs to be from="localhost" and not from=localhost [20:51] And now i getting this command from terminal once and then.

Can you ping6 the host? [21:02] sjMikem, thanks, someone will get yah going. ;) [21:02] Seveas: ping6 just hangs too... let me try disabling ipv6 [21:02] sjMikem: before you do that, can you ping or mtr -4 the host?

[21:46] was debating on getting one [21:46] designbybeck_: For what? [21:47] password management bekks [21:47] designbybeck_: Thats what Lastpass is for - not what a Yubikey is for. [21:47] I am developing some experimental google glass apps for a childrens hospital. The .apk packaged must be installed manually and in the past I have had to walk someone through doing it on windows (quite a pain). MY boss and I would like to set up an ubuntu computer at the hospital which can be SSH'd into and update each google glass. [21:48] you have a YubiKey? [21:48] it is for a one time password and other 2nd layers of authentication bekks [21:48] compdoc: Yes. [21:48] networking wise, does anyone have an idea for accessing it which I could discuss with their IT? [21:48] was thinking about ordering the new one with NFC... it's $50 though [21:48] designbybeck_: I do know what a yubikey is for - but it doesnt handle the actually management of password, at all. [21:48] Pinkamena_D: Do you already know how to push the apk from Ubuntu to the glass? [21:48] yes [21:49] right, sorry I didn't mean it was handling it, just aiding in it [21:49] Can anyone recommend a really good Ultrabook that is extremely compatible with Ubuntu 14.04? Ideally a touch screen or something similar to the ASUS UX301LA but without the rebooting thermal issues :P [21:49] Pinkamena_D: And it involves someone physically connecting the glass to the Ubuntu machine? [21:49] Their timescale is off of us by hours [21:50] under usual circumstances they would plug in all of the glasses and I would install it 'overnight' [21:50] ahrenstein, THe hardware is your issue not the ultrabook check hardware [21:50] Pinkamena_D: Why involve yourself at all? Why not just write a script to do it? [21:50] designbybeck_: It will not aid in the management at all, it makes things more complicated, actually. The only use case I can think of using lastpass AND a yubikey is storing the private passphrase part in lastpass and the using that and the yubikey generated passcode for decrypting/login/etc. [21:51] I currently have no server / connection in that building at all [21:51] Pinkamena_D: So you need a connection to that computer, first. [21:51] bekks, do you store passwords on it? [21:51] no compdoc it helps generate a one time password [21:51] I guess this is more of a network question, sorry for asking here [21:51] compdoc: No. That would be - suboptimal. [21:51] bubbasaures what do you mean? I read a few threads in Ubuntu forums and a review on the device as a linux laptop. All say it has some issue when in Linux that causes reboots that Windows doesn't have. Ideally I'm just looking for a good recommendation. System76 didn't seem that impressive. [21:52] but yes, thats the idea [21:52] does anyone still have a hp elitebook 2730p? [21:52] yeah, I know it generates, but they mention encription also. so youre saying you cant store encripted docs on it [21:52] ahrenstein, You need to just make sure the hardware in your choice is friendly, we don't advise on purchases is all. [21:52] ahrenstein, there is thinkpenguin [21:52] bubbasaures Ok. [21:53] ahoneybun thanks. I shall check it out. [21:53] not more than a few comments anyway [21:53] compdoc: No, I never said I cant. There are Yubikey versions which act as USB mass storages devices also. But storing your private pass phrase parts on it along with the generator device - thats like handing everyone a note with your entire password. [21:53] ahrenstein, they have a really nice thin small notebook (I had it in my hands at a FOSSETCON) [21:54] ahoneybun I'm browsing now. [21:54] k === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno [21:56] How do I change the icon associated with a file type in Ubuntu 12.04? [21:57] I have tried everything: Adding icon files to /usr/share/icons, inspecting the mime types (in /etc/mimetypes, in /usr/share/mime, etc.). [21:57] No matter what I do, the icon is always white / blank. [21:58] I had ReText installed for markdown and the icons were correct. I tried Remarkable, another MD editor, but liked it less and uninstalled. [21:59] Ever since then, every MD document now has a blank / white icon (but ReText does work and is correctly associated, just not the icon). [21:59] I've even tried associogate, but that did not help. [22:00] If someone could just explain to me how HOW Ubuntu goes about finding an icon file, I could probably fix this. But the whole MIME / icon thing in Ubuntu 12.04 seems a mess. [22:00] morsedl3: You want the icon [22:01] This is for a master image for deployment, so I need to get these icons right for users. [22:01] choked: I want ANY icon at this point. :) If I can get that, I'm sure I can adjust as needed. [22:03] (back in moment, have to logoff and back on) [22:03] morsedl3: try installing a different icon theme. [22:04] choked: thanks. kind of tried that: logged in as newly-created user with default theme. no joy there, either. [22:04] choked: always white / blank. [22:04] choked: have purged app (retext), reinstalled, does not help either. [22:04] morsedl3: unity --reset-icons [22:05] !icons [22:05] Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [22:05] choked: just did. no joy. [22:06] choked: (back in a moment, have to logoff) [22:08] this icon thing is always changing, well I suppose it's the natural GNOME evolution [22:08] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on a ProLiant G5 DL580 with an HP P400 using the cciss driver -- Ubuntu does not seem to recognize any of the drives (though they are there under /dev/cciss/c0d0 etc) [22:08] any tips? [22:10] choked: well, now the icon is correct when I view it in Nautilus, and when I right-click on it and select Properties. However, it's still white / blank when shown on the Desktop. [22:11] morsedl3: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ [22:12] morsedl3: then setsid unity [22:12] morsedl3: or delete the icon and make a new one. [22:15] morsedl3: what desktop are you using [22:15] choked: K, I just ran both. No joy, same deal: blank on Desktop, correct in "Properties" and within Nautilus. Created a new "test.md" file on the Desktop using various methods, i.e., touch, gvim, gedit, and retext: No change, same problem with new / different file. [22:15] You have to logout morsedl3 [22:16] choked: K, I suspected. Will try now, so back in a moment... [22:17] anyone know what's going on with security.ubuntu.com? [22:17] When running a command that asks for like a username and password, is there a way to adding that info to that command so it gets entered when ran? [22:18] fedora_newb: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:19] Jordan_U not sure exactly [22:19] This is more of a server question and not sure what they are running [22:20] fedora_newb: What is the output of "lsb_release -r"? [22:20] I have some problems when im on a skype call on Ubuntu 14.04 since it uses Pulseaudio. When i turn up the music abit too much people in the call can heard the music like it they were listening to it via my own headset. Any help ? [22:21] choked: logging off and back on: no joy. rebooting: no joy. [22:21] Jordan_U, didn't even run it :/ [22:22] Just allows you to enter commands but its setupkinda like linux, so trying to figure out how one would pass the commands usually [22:22] morsedl3: what desktop environment are you using. Unity? [22:22] choked: yes. [22:22] fedora_newb: I don't understand what that means. [22:23] morsedl3: so these are in the launcher bar not desktop. [22:23] fedora_newb: this is the ubuntu support. what system is that at all? [22:23] choked: no. *.md files visible on the Unity Desktop. [22:24] fedora_newb: There is no generic solution, it depends on what specific commands you're trying to run, for what distro, and what version (as these things change which actions involve or don't involve policykit/selinux/apparmor etc.) . [22:25] choked: If I could just 'strace' the appropriate process, I suspect I could figure out what's off. However, I have no idea what process handles the presentation of the desktop itself. Compiz perhaps? [22:25] Its built off sort of a linux platform just not of details. Anyways, on ubuntu, lets say 14.04, if I were to run any sort of command that would next ask for email and password, how could I add that info and pretty much replicate an enter key? [22:25] If that makes sense. [22:25] fedora_newb: There are multiple conventions for doing that, it very much depends on the application being run. [22:26] fedora_newb: If it's not Ubuntu, then you should join ##linux for generic linux support. [22:26] kk [22:26] I have some problems when im on a skype call on Ubuntu 14.04 since it uses Pulseaudio. When i turn up the music abit too much people in the call can heard the music like it they were listening to it via my own headset. Any help ? [22:26] fedora_newb: @ is pretty standard, but passwords vary a lot. [22:26] morsedl3: these are documents or applications or both missing icon [22:26] Maltahl: Skype is horribly broken on Linux [22:26] fedora_newb: that really depends heavily on the service that is running. there is no generic answer to that. best is to see the support/community of the thing you are running thre [22:27] *there [22:27] choked: just plain text, standard markdown files. [22:27] Maltahl: Skype doesn't use pulseaudio. [22:27] jhutchins it does on my system tho... [22:28] Maltahl: Not really, it bypasses it. Skype is also developed by Microsoft, so you pretty much have to use their support channels. [22:28] jhutchins it says in the settings that its controlled by pulseaudio [22:29] jhutchins: Microsoft won't support Skype on Linux for shit so he's screwed [22:29] choked: my problem does not concern launchers, whether in a panel or on the desktop. For example, if I drag the ReText app to the Unity Desktop to make a shortcut, its icon is correct. It's just the display of actual .md files stored the Desktop itself have white / blank icons. [22:29] morsedl3: it shows in natilus. Right click select copy. Then paste on desktop [22:30] salve === matteo is now known as Guest21263 [22:31] choked: doing so created a "test (copy).md" file on the Desktop, also blank. [22:31] Drop the icon in gedit [22:32] Drop the icon in gedit morsedl3 [22:34] choked: ? I don't understand what you mean. [22:35] morsedl3: an icon is a text file. Drop an icon on a gedit window. [22:35] choked: K. that opens my test.md file in gedit, as expected. === Programmer-N7 is now known as Programmer_ [22:36] choked: the icon next to the filename in gedit is correct [22:37] choked: but the desktop file is still white, even after making a simple edit and re-saving w/in gedit. === tking0036 is now known as Guest96712 [22:39] choked: I can even change the icon to some random png file w/in Nautulis and on the Unity Desktop, and it changes to what I set. But when I select "Revert" (under Properties), it goes back to blank/white on Desktop (but everywhere else is correct). === Programmer-N7 is now known as khaotic [22:40] morsedl3: right click icon select properties. Uncheck executable. The drop it on credit again [22:40] morsedl3: right click icon select properties. Uncheck executable. The drop it on gedit again === sburjan` is now known as sburjan [22:41] choked: it was never set to executable. file mode has always been 600 (rw-----) [22:41] choked: again, just to be clear, it's not a launcher. [22:46] hey guys i can't start X from my usb, before it worked.. i installed it on the HDD now i want to boot from the usb again and there's a black screen...any idea why? [22:46] I am building a large datacenter using ubuntu snappy images, and I need a service that can manage docker containers (even better would be containers of different types), does ubuntu snappy work well with a particular service? [22:46] sage__: is it wise to build a data center based on a technology that is not yet proven ? [22:46] startx gives me setversion 1.4 permission denied [22:46] tonygaga: why are you running startx ? [22:46] tonygaga, You sure you got grub in the right place and not on the usb? [22:47] anyone here ever used puppet? [22:47] arun: yes [22:47] ikonia: This is testing its future use [22:47] arun: on a daily basis with thousands of servers :) [22:47] ikonia: because it was black and then i tried starting it from the shell [22:47] sage__: so why would you deploy a large data center as a "test" ? [22:48] bubbasaures: yea... because it booted with grub without usb [22:48] which guide is good ? http://www.unixmen.com/install-puppet-master-and-client-in-ubuntu/ or https://www.howtoforge.com/puppet-ubuntu-14.04 ?? [22:48] neither [22:48] I would trust official puppet documention [22:48] ikonia: Well it's going on a test center first [22:48] ikonia: for a sample test running? [22:48] arun: yes [22:48] the howtoforge one starts with editing /etc/hosts, it sucks [22:48] arun: a test or a production run, why would you not use official documentation [22:49] ikonia: i mean among these two.. [22:49] sage__: howtoforge = suck [22:49] tonygaga, thanks, I see hits on the web, bit just not familiar with that error. [22:49] arun: I would'nt use either [22:49] arun: why limit it to those two when the official docs are great [22:49] oh, and using 3rd party repos, nope, howtoforge is out. [22:50] bubbasaures: okay...well anything helps guys it's actually xubuntu [22:50] whatever im just gonna redo the startmedia usb [22:50] the unixmen one only covers the install, it's not horrible (but still wants to mess with /etc/hosts) [22:51] I'll echo ikonia: follow official docs. Except that those probably want you to install their packages. Ignore that and just apt-get install from the Ubuntu repos === sammy is now known as Guest64665 [22:54] Seveas: is the Define the Server in the Puppet Client : section fine in unixmen? and what changes can we do for /etc/hosts stuffs u told ? [22:56] Seveas: I mean puppetd.conf stuff, is it puppet.conf or puppetd.conf? [22:57] hello Seveas u there? [23:00] ikonia: u therE? [23:00] yes ? [23:00] ikonia: is the Define the Server in the Puppet Client : section fine in unixmen? and what changes can we do for /etc/hosts stuffs u told ? [23:00] arun: you where told not to use that guide [23:01] if you want to use that guide and need help - ask the person who wrote the guide [23:01] ikonia: yes, but the official is too long.. I wanted to get some short, just for installation... [23:01] then you deal with it [23:01] the official one is not long [23:01] and if you can't be bothered to read it - you'll make a mess and not understand what you are doing [23:02] as you are doing now [23:02] arun: tell what you are trying to do please, and how you're trying to do it. [23:02] arun: if you're not willing to read documentation, you shouldn't be paid to administer servers. [23:02] arun: I'm sure this way you would get pointers from the people here. [23:02] gry: he did, but wants to be spoonfed instead of making some effort. [23:02] he wants to follow a bad guide [23:02] has been advised not to [23:03] Seveas: I am not paid for administering servers.. I wanted to know.. [23:03] is trying to do so still [23:03] and doesn't understand what to do with the bad guide [23:03] arun: there is #puppet where people may be able to help you in more detail if this channel considers spoon feeding not worth the effort. [23:03] arun: ASK! I gave you 2 questions. [23:03] ASK! [23:03] it's not about spoon feeding, it's following a bad guide [23:04] gry, spoon feeding is enabling a continuance of it. [23:04] and refusing to read the "good" guide because it's "too long" [23:04] arun: I mean, click here >> #puppet << and tell them the detail. [23:04] arun: people here apparently don't want to help you with it. Sorry. [23:04] people do want to help with it [23:04] gry: no, its fine.. [23:04] but not with a guide that will not work well [23:04] ikonia: then you would ask him what he wants to do, and give some pointers. [23:05] ikonia: I can understand you man :D thanks [23:05] gry: I have done [23:05] he doesn't want to do the "good" solution [23:05] ikonia: you didn't - you suggested to RTFM without asking what he wants to do. [23:05] and he's explained what he wants to do - hence getting the good guide [23:05] gry: he wants to setup a puppet master - as he said at the start [23:05] and offered two guides - both of which won't do [23:05] he refuses to read the good guide [23:05] gry: he wants an FM, but is to lazy to read a good one [23:05] ok, if we know what he wants, then give pointers what the correct solution is. [23:06] the correct solution is to follow hte official puppet setup guide [23:06] and bash him with that instead of bashing with the manual. :) [23:06] as he's been suggested [23:06] no [23:06] no one is bashing him [23:06] ahh. "setup" issue. I see. [23:06] stop making stuff up [23:06] the official puppet guide is the right way to do it [23:06] it's good advice, not bashing or telling RTFM [23:07] the problem was I missed what he wants. that's alright. [23:07] yeah, but you see fit to make stuff up like "bashing" - so perhaps don't [23:07] I'm pretty keen to help people get a good system, rather than a broken one [23:07] I'm not telling someone that guide is bad for fun [23:07] he wanted to cut corners ... simple . [23:07] well, "choked" has left the building, but for completeness: i fixed the desktop icon problem i was having: using the program "alacarte", i found that the icon association was pointing to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/retext.png. Changing this to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/retext.svg seems to have finally fixed the problem. [23:08] guys, please lets not fight eachother.. ikonia thanks for the advice ... [23:08] nobody i fighting jut expressing [23:08] arun: i apologize, i missed your question earlier; good luck [23:08] is* [23:09] UbuN2: sorry to say in that word, I am not native english... mistake happens [23:09] gry: cool thanks [23:09] ;) === barra204__ is now known as shakamunyi [23:10] what is CA masters ?

M$ was being dicks when i went there for support so here i am begging for a solution [23:10] arun: usually the same as the puppetmaster. The host where you run puppetca [23:11] Maltahl, No swearing ans how would you silence the music picked up by you mic? [23:11] Maltahl: tried headphones so that the music isn't heard by the mic? [23:11] s/and/you're [23:11] Im using a headset ( sorry for the swearing before) [23:11] Maltahl, that has a mic. [23:11] Yes and its Jack in and Jack Out [23:12] is it music in the headphones [23:12] Its not coming from the headset to the mic. Its like its coming from the sound card to the input on skype [23:12] via Pulseaudio [23:13] Maltahl: Is this more than just the sound from your headphones making its way to your microphone, physically? [23:13] Like desktop audio and Mic gets mixed up or fusioned when the desktop audio is louder than wispering [23:13] Maltahl, Excellent now we know what you mean, not sure myself, I would try anther headset were it me to test. [23:13] I have tried with inear buds and the built in mic of my laptop [23:14] and they can still hear it crystal clear [23:15] Maltahl: #pulseaudio might be helpful, though I'm still not sure it's a pulseaudio problem. [23:15] Is there a way i can troubleshoot it to the source ? [23:16] Maltahl: check skype's settings and make sure audio in/out is set up correctly [23:16] i cannot change the audio in and out [23:17] ok [23:17] they are all set to Pulseaudio server (Local) [23:17] hello?

[23:17] i'm new to the field, btw :/ [23:18] Java because it teaches you to structure your code well as a beginner [23:18] sawsa: ask your programming teacher :) [23:18] Else i would learn C# first [23:18] sawsa: when without teacher, I'd recommend python, especially using the O'Reilly 'Learning Python' book as a starter. [23:19] can that book be read online anywhere as an e-book, Seveas? [23:19] * julian-delphiki would recommend ruby, sawsa [23:19] sawsa: I wouldn't be surprised if it could, but I used a physical copy myself :) [23:20] sawsa: imo I would do it like this: Java, Python, C++ [23:20] Most newer books have codes for an ebook version [23:20] sawsa: and as you can see other people have different preferences on what they'd do first. Of course my opinion is the best :-) [23:20] +1 [23:20] (read: don't poll in here, inconsistency is what you'll get.

[23:42] I get stuck at the initramfs [23:42] it looks like its loading vmlinuz and initramfs, then it hangs, and I get dropped to the grub prompt [23:43] chakka, I would run a apt-get -f install to make sure everything got installed first thing. [23:43] nobody___: Arbitrarily following 'general' commands found on the internet is not a good thing to do. What issue are you attempting to address ? [23:43] Hey, so I'm hoping someone could help me please. I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 over my old system (formatted /, kept /home from 12.04/14.04), but I've been having a problem after login; the system hangs with background and cursor, I can still access other terminals (via Ctrl+Alt+F#), but right click and keyboard shortcuts (such as Ctrl+Alt+T) don't do anything. [23:43] apt-get -f install doesnt show anything to do [23:44] screen tearing when i play videos [23:45] chakka, Where are you on the install to run it a TTY, [23:45] ¨found a solution... its the headset for some wierd reason [23:45] Ive been using the system for a while, it all works fine [23:45] hey guys I got a touchscreen monitor given to me - has serial interface - plugged it in and compiled drivers for it elo single touch then ran sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 and I see stuff output when I touch the screen!! woot but its not moving the mouse lol [23:45] bubbasaures: what's thrown me here is if it were a graphics driver problem, i'd expect it to die at the login screen, not after when i login. and if it were a desktop problem i'd expect it to perhaps fail to login, but not go to a black screen and leave the system unresponsive. wracking my brains to try to form a plan to troubleshoot. [23:45] Bobbo: A leftover " /etc/X11/xorg.conf " from a proprietary graphics driver ? [23:46] Bashing-om: so... `sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo reboot`? [23:46] chakka, Not sure why that kernel would be doing this sounds like you know the text boot, others may have a better idea. [23:46] now that I did an " aptitude purge linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic" I dont see that update anymore. weird. [23:46] log says failed to connect to Xdisplay [23:46] are you on the latest kernel for ubunutu? What version are you on? === aaron is now known as Guest19134 [23:47] Bobbo: Possible .. what are you running now for a graphics set and a releted driver ? [23:47] 3.13.0-43 chakka [23:47] ok, so you havent seen a -44 upgrade ? [23:47] I wonder where that came from. [23:47] need to look at my apt sources [23:47] chakka, I'm not using the main server are you? [23:48] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9721650 [23:48] hm. installing an ssh server so i can tail some logs up until it crashes [23:49] Bashing-om: Plan is to replace nouveau with the proprietary driver once I actually get it working. :3 [23:49] nobody___: Screen tearing .. OK, what graphics set do you have .. and related driver .. -> sudo lshw - C display | pastebinit <- . May have to install the 'pastebinit' tool . [23:49] ah. it's using nouveau ... [23:49] chakka: there is a 44 available [23:50] SynrGy, I would not follow err I say jokingly logic, gotta use scientific method is all, a graphic issue can be from grub on. [23:50] your* [23:51] my expectations are only based on past experience, not logic [23:51] it does not follow from my past observations the future problems will be the same :) [23:51] Bashing-om: Just checked, I don't actually have an xorg configuration file (only xorg.conf.failsafe). Hurmm [23:51] i'm willing to bet nouveau *might* not be as solid on this platform as nvidia-current [23:51] SynrGy, big failure I'm afraid is all, would you ask your doctor to work this way, or any one. [23:52] any way NEXT [23:52] um? this isn't open heart surgery. it's just a computer. i'm following hunches [23:52] Bobbo: Presently now, I do not know. As you do have the open source driver loaded .. Have you looked to see what is in the control file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" if it even exists ? [23:52] Bashing-om: doesn't exist [23:53] Bobbo: Sorry did not catch your last in time ... Humm .. What results if you boot to recovery mode from grub's advanced boot options ? From there maybe we can install the proprietary driver ? [23:54] Bashing-om: you mean, drop to root shell prompt or failsafeX? [23:54] Hi, I got a FTP on my ubuntu server but I don't get in using FileZilla. Now am I worried that I've got the wrong password / username. How could I find that out? [23:55] Bobbo: Yeah .. "enable networking" to provide r/w access to the partition . [23:55] http://pastebin.com/AnK8Jkqe [23:56] nobody___: Look'n at your http://pastebin.com/AnK8Jkqe . [23:56] Bashing-om: Then the big question, which driver? XD I tried the nvidia-current package earlier to no avail; but I've done another reinstall since then (so much messing around with packages, ugh). [23:58] im a noob so i dont know what to do with this [23:58] just logged a bug
