| rocko | beeks: i searched and found nothing | 00:01 |
| hydrajump | trism: so it is possible. the first option you describe what would I need to do to unity-greeter before recompiling for prime to show up and is this difficult to compile and install? | 00:02 |
| rocko | bekks: damn i cant type today sorry i cant find either | 00:02 |
| bekks | rocko: So both tools arent found when typting "which mii-tool" and "which ethtool"? | 00:02 |
| rocko | bekks: sorry i typed in treminal and /sbin/mii-tool | 00:03 |
| rocko | bekks: /sbin/ethtool | 00:04 |
| rocko | bekks: sorry iam a win > linux convert here lol still learning | 00:05 |
| bekks | rocko: So whats the output of "sudo mii-tool eth0" | 00:05 |
| Qwertie | I somehow managed to hide the clock in the top right of unity and I cant figure out how to get it back. The clock settings under time & date are all grayed out. | 00:06 |

| CpuID | hey ppls, ive got a kernel module (ixgbevf) which exists in both the standard kernel, and an updated module installed with dkms. the original exists as kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf/ixgbevf.ko and the new exists as updates/dkms/ixgbevf.ko. whats the safest way to disable/remove the original module to ensure the new module will load as its replacement everytime on boot? | 00:08 |

| hydrajump | trism: I found this http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/unity-greeter/trusty/view/head:/src/menubar.vala#L240 but I'm not sure what I'd need to add to load the python indicator. Have you done this? | 00:10 |

| djhash | Anyone to assist in checking possibly corrupt partition(s)? fdisk -l /dev/sda identifies partitions as HPFS/NTFS/exFAT. How can I mount them? mounting using tntfs results in failed to mount invalid argument, ntfs signature is missing. Backstory: Two SSDs were in a RAID0, now attached to an LSI controller with the foreign configuration imported. No important information on the drives, I just would like to see if I can get to the | 00:11 |
| djhash | previous data in them. Maybe end up learning something. (used to contain some scratch files, and probably window's pagefile) | 00:11 |
| bekks | rocko: You could try following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html#ip-addressing | 00:12 |

| studmuf | Anyone on here using rsync for file backup? | 00:33 |
| ikonia | studmuf: sometimes | 00:34 |
| studmuf | Or know how to compare the files of two paritions | 00:34 |
| imbezol | studmuf: rsync with -n would do it | 00:34 |
| bekks | diff would do the job, too. | 00:35 |
| imbezol | a whole partition? | 00:35 |
| ikonia | studmuf: rsync compares it on trigger | 00:35 |
| ikonia | imbezol: yes | 00:35 |
| bekks | ikonia: Depends on what you are trying to do. | 00:35 |
| imbezol | i was thinking that too but too messing | 00:35 |
| imbezol | er, messy | 00:35 |
| ikonia | it I use -x to not traverse mounted on different partition file systems | 00:35 |
| ikonia | but it depends on what I require what options I use | 00:35 |
| imbezol | yeah nice thing about rsync is you can specify the direction | 00:35 |
| imbezol | exclude files, etc | 00:36 |
| imbezol | diff it's yes no if they are different.. even if the newer version is on the target | 00:36 |
| bekks | imbezol: So what are you actually trying to achieve? | 00:37 |
| bekks | merging to filesets? | 00:37 |
| imbezol | good question, but not for me | 00:38 |
| mynameisdeleted | so.. thoughts on torrent based apt system.. rather than gettign packages from the web on busy servers... get them over torrent from other users who have already downloaded that particular package | 00:38 |
| mynameisdeleted | in exchange for some upload you can download ubuntu packages faster with apt | 00:39 |
| mynameisdeleted | I guess I'd have to start with a torrent mirror of ubuntu 15.04, and 14.10 and 14.04 and a sort of apt mirror which has torrent files for every package... | 00:39 |
| cpslcktrjn | for what gain? I've never really had an issue with speed with the hundreds and hundreds of mirrors out there | 00:39 |
| imbezol | me either | 00:40 |
| mynameisdeleted | I can get 1.1GB ubuntu iso in 30 seconds via torrent | 00:40 |
| imbezol | and i don't have to suffer with a poor connection because i'm torrenting all the time | 00:40 |
| mynameisdeleted | and in 10 mins via http | 00:40 |
| imbezol | but you're not downloading an iso through apt | 00:40 |
| ki7mt | Me either, my local mirror is very fast :-) | 00:40 |
| mynameisdeleted | local mirrors are a better option if you are installing on computers that share internet | 00:40 |
| mynameisdeleted | I always get < 1MB/s | 00:41 |
| mynameisdeleted | when I torrent I get 20MB/s | 00:41 |
| mynameisdeleted | isntead of <1 | 00:41 |
| imbezol | perhaps time to try out some other mirrors | 00:41 |
| mynameisdeleted | maybe | 00:42 |
| mynameisdeleted | us ubuntu mirror is slow | 00:42 |
| mynameisdeleted | I'd like it to pick fast sources for me | 00:42 |
| mynameisdeleted | not have me test them all and pick whats the fastest at that moment | 00:43 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line | 00:43 |
| mynameisdeleted | also if I install 100 ubuntu machines on a lan on shared cable or dsl | 00:44 |
| mynameisdeleted | 99% of package fetching will happen locally between machines on the lan | 00:44 |
| mynameisdeleted | without me setting up a mirror or performing mirror selection | 00:44 |
| imbezol | mynameisdeleted: set up a cacheing proxy | 00:45 |
| bekks | So use netselect on the apt mirror, and use an apt mirror in your lan :) | 00:45 |
| bekks | apt-cacher-ng :) | 00:45 |
| ki7mt | yeah, simply caching can work just as well | 00:45 |
| mynameisdeleted | I like a configurationless autodiscovering option | 00:45 |
| mynameisdeleted | you dont have to use it | 00:45 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: You like 100x the download bandwidth :P | 00:45 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: Using apt-cacher-ng you will have the LAN speed for already downloaded packages. | 00:46 |
| mynameisdeleted | I can provide install dvd or usb stick.. and there is no needs for caching proxy | 00:46 |
| thinkpadd | Hi, Do you know how can I enable fingerprint in thinkpad T440s? I have used these commands, but it does not find my device. any idea? | 00:46 |
| thinkpadd | sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fingerprint/fingerprint-gui && sudo apt-get update | 00:46 |
| thinkpadd | sudo apt-get install libbsapi policykit-1-fingerprint-gui fingerprint-gui | 00:46 |
| mynameisdeleted | any computer can be the proxy | 00:46 |
| rebs | thinkpadd, i have the same model | 00:46 |
| mynameisdeleted | and if the first proxy goes down it doesnt matter | 00:46 |
| rebs | i dont think there is proper support for the 440 s yes | 00:46 |
| rebs | yet | 00:46 |
| mynameisdeleted | a caching proxy server is a single point of failure for all your other workstations getting dpkg's | 00:46 |
| rebs | last i checked was maybe 3 months asgo | 00:46 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: you can load balance them as well. | 00:47 |
| imbezol | sounds like you've got it all figured | 00:47 |
| thinkpadd | rebs: Have you tried recently? | 00:47 |
| rebs | 3 months ago | 00:47 |
| mynameisdeleted | anyways.. just make a new apt fetchign method over http and cdrom | 00:47 |
| mynameisdeleted | called torrent | 00:47 |
| thinkpadd | rebs: http://zecheru.com/thinkpad-fingerprint-ubuntu-14-04/ | 00:47 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: and a transparent caching proxy is not even noticed, so if it goes down, no one will notice it. | 00:47 |
| mynameisdeleted | it uses a torrent mirror and fetches the torrent for the deb and rtorrents it | 00:47 |
| rebs | cool | 00:48 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: Personally, I dont see a reason for torrenting debs :) | 00:48 |
| thinkpadd | rebs: It did not find my device although. | 00:48 |
| imbezol | bekks: mine has never gone down and it's nice because it caches a lot more than just apt :D | 00:48 |
| mynameisdeleted | it will be experiment | 00:48 |
| bekks | imbezol: Mine too :) | 00:48 |
| mynameisdeleted | if others like it maybe it gets adopted more | 00:48 |
| mynameisdeleted | if not.. oh well | 00:48 |
| mynameisdeleted | I'll use it | 00:48 |
| bekks | mynameisdeleted: So implement it, as an experiment :) | 00:48 |
| mynameisdeleted | maybe I'll even submit to ubuntu.. but either way I can host my own ppa | 00:49 |
| mynameisdeleted | if others like it they are free to use it | 00:49 |
| mynameisdeleted | and may save the ubuntu official mirrors some load | 00:49 |
| thinkpadd | rebs: Have u installed sth for trackpad? | 00:50 |

| k1l_ | U94: what iso is it? ubuntu isos are hybrid and you can dd them just onto the bare usb stick | 01:23 |
| Solexious | Is there a way to set default printer by program? Its getting boring having to switch to my dymo label printer when I use glables... | 01:24 |
| U94 | k1l_, yes iso I want to boot windows in usb from linux | 01:24 |
| Homely_Girl | Hello Collective Brains! :) | 01:25 |
| k1l_ | U94: i dont think that is possible, you need a windows to make a windows stick, afaik | 01:25 |
| Homely_Girl | I'm finally using Ubuntu 14.04, but having trouble getting my HP Deskjet to print! I installed it 'n even have the blue HP Icon in my task bar, but when I print nothing happens, help please! | 01:26 |
| U94 | k1l_, ok then :) | 01:26 |
| kryptonradon | how do I use ssh-add? my old system asked me for my private key password when I logged in, I want to enable that on 14.04 | 01:26 |
| U94 | k1l_, unet bootin cant do that? | 01:26 |
| k1l_ | U94: i dont think so. | 01:26 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Did you use the hp tool to load the drivers? | 01:27 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, I didn't I went to setttings into printer 'n added it, it auto detected it. | 01:28 |
| U94 | k1l_, ok but i found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-a-iso-to-a-usb-device | 01:28 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Not sure if the icon you see is the hp tool or the printers, if you right click do you see options? | 01:29 |
| k1l_ | U94: then give it a try if you want. | 01:29 |
| U94 | k1l_, yes thats why I'm going to do right now :) thanks :) | 01:29 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, There are settings | 01:29 |

| Emanon`1 | Hi all, I've got an issue with my computer shutting off while starting up ubuntu. I can run the bios and mem tests (no issues found) without issue but as soon as I go to load up the desktop the computer shuts down mid way. I thought it was the PSU getting overloaded because when I removed the memory to check each one individually it would start, as soon as I | 01:30 |
| Emanon`1 | tried to run with both it would die. I also had it die while running it with one stick after a few hours of being on. Any ideas? 14.04 lts | 01:30 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Lemme plug printer back in 2 mins | 01:30 |
| bubbasaures | no prob | 01:30 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Done that, now what? | 01:31 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Is the printer showing on the right? | 01:32 |
| bubbasaures | sorry left | 01:32 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Yes | 01:32 |
| gsilvapt | Good evening. I can't use my camera properly. It gets upside down either using Skype or Hangouts. I've followed some instructions I found on AskUbuntu and on the forums. It's an Asus laptop. Any suggestion to fix this? | 01:32 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, In the top bar are tools if you linger the cursor they tell you what they do, I would remove the printer let the HP tool add it test and if not working use the diagnose hplip driver option. | 01:33 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Okey dokey, back soon.... | 01:34 |
| Emanon`1 | Note that I got a new psu and ruled the psu being an issue out | 01:34 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, My 14.04 setup was actually missing some packages and this fixed it. | 01:34 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, ok | 01:35 |
| jrm | Hi. I just intsalled Ubuntu for the first time. It's in a VM (bhyve with FreeBSD as the host) and I would like to expand the image allocated to the VM following the instructions at the very bottom of this page: https://www.monkeybrains.net/support/bhyve. I can get up the part (delete 2 and 5), but after that I'm a little lost. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Here is the partition table: http://slexy.org/view/s25uLEO49c. | 01:37 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, It's installing missing packages, well done you, let's hope this works! | 01:39 |

| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Not seen a no communication in this app, what do you see? | 01:48 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Are you using a usb hub perchance? | 01:49 |
| Homely_Girl | bubba, no hub, one cable from prn to laptop! | 01:50 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Only a direct usb cable from prn to laptop | 01:50 |
| === Guest67760 is now known as SuBmUnDo | ||
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, So how do you know the communication is faulty, time and a guess or in the terminal, or other way? | 01:51 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, When I ran the diagnose drivers thingy it goes thru installing missing stuff 'n then red writing comes up saying prn either off or other problem 'n cannot find it. | 01:52 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, I'm trying a different usb socket....standby! | 01:53 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, Hmm, the tool can be closed right click quit, I would do that and the printer again just for a test. Standing by otherwise. | 01:54 |
| ki7mt | well, you may want to check and see if the user is in both dialout and lp groups | 01:55 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, now it said I have no printer configured?? | 01:55 |
| bubbasaures | Homely_Girl, After? | 01:55 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, No, I was in the middle of rediagnosing the driver when u told me to quit.....so you want me to quit the hp thingy 'n do what to my printer? :) | 01:56 |
| samthewildone | I'm having a problem here. | 01:57 |

| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, I'll shut it all down 'n then printter on first 'n then laptop? | 01:57 |
| ki7mt | Feed the squirrels more more acorns, they go faster then :-) | 01:57 |
| samthewildone | also when trying to update, it takes forever. | 01:57 |

| Psil0Cybin | Hey guys quick question i am trying to install wireshark on ubuntu, using apt-get install wireshark, now I have it installed and it wont find my devices unless I run it as root (obviously not recommended) I typed in dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common and it says that allowing nonroot users to run wireshark/being allowed to capture packets, could be a security risk....why is this? | 02:16 |
| bubbasaures | yax51, If you are not seeing grub tap the shift key as you power on. | 02:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | If I am following the guide should I ignore that error message? It seems like I am damned if i do, damned if i dont. | 02:17 |
| yax51 | bubbasaures:" Ok, I am showing grub, with ubuntu, and advanced options, and mem tests | 02:19 |
| yax51 | bubbasaures: I found it, :P | 02:19 |
| yax51 | bubbasaures: Ok now I have my mouse back, but still not detecting network via ethernet cable | 02:20 |
| Homely_Girl | bubbasaures, Thanks for your help, hopefully it is just a dodgy cable!! | 02:21 |
| bubbasaures | no prob | 02:21 |
| Homely_Girl | axel_, Thanks for offering to help, but I'm gonna try what bubbasaures suggested. | 02:22 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: A quick search gives me http://wiki.wireshark.org/Security | 02:22 |
| Homely_Girl | Good by my favourite Brains!! :) | 02:22 |
| bubbasaures | yax51, Just a test on the kernel, others will be better overall for really good help. | 02:23 |
| yax51 | WOOT!!! ok got it back up! | 02:23 |
| selsper | n1 | 02:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: That wiki states that root access is not required, but my devices cannot be found without root access. It also states....Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives | 02:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | By installing Wireshark packages non-root users won't gain rights automatically to capture packets. To allow non-root users to capture packets follow the procedure described in /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian | 02:24 |
| yax51 | bubbsaures: thanks for your help. Now is there a way to remove the update kernals from grub, so I don't need to do that each time I boot it up? | 02:24 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common ? | 02:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea pksadiq that is the command I ran... | 02:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | in order to add my self to the user-group | 02:24 |
| michael_j_p | hello fellow linux users | 02:25 |
| bubbasaures | hello bi-ped | 02:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: after that command I was going to run sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER | 02:25 |
| bubbasaures | I assume, ;) | 02:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | and it said it should work but that first command, gave me awarning saying its not secure to add my self to the wireshark group or give the group access rights to root , etc | 02:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | so I am jut confused... | 02:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: sorry for bothering you but maybe you can explain this to me, what would be the proper procedure..in order to see my devices....all guides I am reading on the wiki state I need to give the wireshark root access/add my self to the group, instead of just simply doing sudo wireshark | 02:27 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: Did you try this for setup: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges ? | 02:28 |
| mijk | hey, I'm trying to set up high reso console in Ubuntu Server | 02:29 |
| mijk | I can't seem to get i tgoing | 02:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | Well I saw that page, pksadiq but i scrolled down to the Ubuntu section, where it states to view the readme, that says to add my self to the wireshark group.... | 02:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives | 02:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | By installing Wireshark packages non-root users won't gain rights automatically to capture packets. To allow non-root users to capture packets follow the procedure described in /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian | 02:29 |
| militantpotato | Hey, I have a dual monitor setup, with a TV connected via an HDMI cable, and my monitor through DVI. I'm having an issue with GRUB where it only displays on the Television, which is annoying because it is either off, or being used for something else. What do I add/change in the grub config to force it to show on my primary display (monitor). I'm using Kubuntu 14.04 | 02:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | but the README, just gives theory but not any commands to execute...I understand in practise what it is stating but i want to double check to make sure I do not do more damage, than good. | 02:30 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: it says dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common, I think. | 02:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea that is what I did one second I will copy the exact error message. | 02:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: it says "│ Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark" system group to capture packets. This is │ | 02:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | │ recommended over the alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because less of the code will run with │ | 02:31 |

| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: don't do that. are you in the wireshark group? find out by typing "groups" | 02:32 |
| yax51 | Thanks for all your help guys :) | 02:32 |
| Psil0Cybin | Ben64: groups does not even list wireshark yet :P | 02:33 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: then do that | 02:33 |
| Psil0Cybin | would it be done with $ sudo usermod -a -G wireshark $USER ?? | 02:33 |
| pksadiq | Ben64: He just needs to know whether there is any security issue adding him to wireshark group... | 02:33 |
| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: yep | 02:34 |
| Psil0Cybin | it says group wireshark does not exist, sorry what would be the proper command to create the group :) | 02:35 |
| Ben64 | you need to do the reconfigure stuff to create it | 02:35 |
| k1l_ | group needs a relogin? or even a reboot? | 02:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | Ben64 when I run the dpkg command, I get this | 02:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | http://pastebin.com/veK5tuq5 | 02:36 |
| trism | Psil0Cybin: on that screen you saw with dpkg-reconfigure, it wasn't an error, you select yes or no with tab and hit enter, yes should create the wireshark group | 02:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | trism: but is that secure, I am aware it is not an error but more of awarning | 02:36 |
| Psil0Cybin | is it safe to hit yes, and add my self/create the group? | 02:36 |
| Ben64 | if you want to capture packets without sudo, yes | 02:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay but why would it give me that warning saying it was not advised? | 02:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | Why does it say "Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled" | 02:37 |
| k1l_ | Psil0Cybin: because wireshark is a security risk at all | 02:37 |
| Psil0Cybin | That line just got me worried... | 02:37 |
| Ben64 | it doesn't say that, it says if you don't know what this does, don't do it | 02:37 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: re-read : ...recommended over the alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root,... | 02:38 |
| === e^0 is now known as Guest4175 | ||
| Psil0Cybin | okay pksadiq thanks guys just wanted to double check..what you guys thought | 02:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | before i hit yes... | 02:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | would the only security risk , but if someone has access to my machine they can capture my packets? | 02:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | or has ssh access to my machine? | 02:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | is that the only security risk ? | 02:38 |
| Psil0Cybin | be if ... * | 02:39 |
| happyfr0gg | Hello. Where does KDE store the splash theme files? | 02:39 |
| k1l_ | Psil0Cybin: really. if you need wireshark not just to break into your neighbours wifi, then you want to read into the documents and get a clue what you do there at all. | 02:39 |
| Psil0Cybin | k1l_: I am getting it installed for school, we have a whole unit on it after I finish my Cisco course.... | 02:39 |
| k1l_ | Psil0Cybin: you actually allow all programs to wireshark your wifi now. | 02:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | I want it to be installed on my computer without installing windows... | 02:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | my class recommends using windows....I want to stick to ubuntu/debian and have wireshark | 02:40 |
| Psil0Cybin | i just want to make sure i have it installed in a secure manner. | 02:40 |
| k1l_ | there is no secure manner. the program is to break secure manners. | 02:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | k1l_: so, all together, any method i do (adding my self to wireshark group) etc, its all a bad idea for the reason you stated?? | 02:41 |
| k1l_ | you just choose in which foot you will be shot. not if at all. | 02:41 |
| Psil0Cybin | LOL good statement...slash analogy | 02:41 |
| === sins-_d is now known as sins- | ||
| Psil0Cybin | so I guess ill just add my self to group and hope for the best...but now I will keep that in mind, all programs could potentially wireshark me....hmm | 02:42 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: Anyway, its much secure than using wireshark and windows. :-) | 02:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | is there a waay to perhaps add my self to group and remove my self from group after use? | 02:42 |
| Psil0Cybin | lool? | 02:42 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: If you stick on to the packages via official repo (only), you don't need to be much scared of the system to spy on you. | 02:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea I got it all from the offical repos... | 02:43 |
| Psil0Cybin | just I never thought once the program is installed, other programs could use it against me lets say if they where coded too....but i guess it makes sense because by adding my self to group, my user can run wireshark thus allowing any program too...that is correct right? | 02:44 |
| Psil0Cybin | Just want to resay all the information provided so i make sure i got it. | 02:44 |
| guzzlefry | Does Ubuntu's installer create raids? | 02:47 |
| compdoc | the server version might | 02:47 |
| nodeman | guzzlefry: Server version does | 02:47 |
| bubbasaures | !raid | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 02:47 |
| guzzlefry | oh good | 02:47 |
| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: so if i understand sorry in very basic form, any method of adding my self to group allows other programs access to capture packets? correct? k1l_ | 02:50 |

| dupingping | How can i solve this problem? | 02:55 |
| pksadiq | Psil0Cybin: If you need to be that much secure, 1. Add a new user and add that user to wireshark group, and use that user only when you need to capture. 2. Use more secure Distro like Debian GNU/Linux. 3. Disable services like ssh. As you said, you are learning, its not wrong to make mistakes. :-) | 02:55 |
| Ben64 | pksadiq: probably shouldn't suggest other distros in #ubuntu ... and debian isn't "more secure" | 02:56 |
| vince_ | HI, My name is Vincent. I need help to configue my touchpad | 02:57 |
| pksadiq | Ben64: Sorry, Ubuntu frequently updates packages like firefox, where there could be unknown issues, but debian after freeze, it won't modify. That's why I recommended that. | 02:58 |

| Psil0Cybin | pksadiq: I am really using Debian, at the moment I came here because Debian/Ubuntu is very similar..and i love the people here, SSH is disabled...but thank you that is what i will do! | 03:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | i will create a new user! :D Thank you pksadiq and everyone, but last question so i create the new user, and then su into that user and then run the dpkg-reconfigure command correct? | 03:24 |
| bubbasaures | Psil0Cybin, debian has a channel use it | 03:25 |

| Ben64 | Psil0Cybin: no! | 03:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | fine..then i apologize... | 03:28 |
| Ben64 | thats why there are different channels and different names and different websites | 03:28 |
| Ben64 | i see you come in here a lot, don't do so for debain any more | 03:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 03:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | well i run both Xubuntu and Debian, so I do come here mostly for Ubuntu help | 03:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | hence why I was quick to ask the question here...i appologize. | 03:29 |
| damig | I would like to have your advice choosing a new laptop ... I plan to install ubuntu so the linux support is very important for this choice | 03:30 |
| damig | so I hesitate between an Asus BU401 and an Lenovo Thinkpad T440 | 03:31 |
| damig | There are more laptops certified by Lenovo than by Asus on ubuntu.com | 03:33 |
| damig | Is that because of hardware compatibility or users prefer Lenovo than Asus ? | 03:34 |
| damig | With similar devices would you choose Asus or Lenovo ? I would like to have advices based on your linux experience | 03:36 |

| derek01 | Hey guys, I had a update to 12.04 from 10.04 fail half way through installing. Gui isn't coming up, although I can hear the sound of the login screen coming up. | 03:51 |
| derek01 | Trying to get WiFi working via command line so I can update, having no luck | 03:54 |
| OerHeks | derek01, hold shift @boot and use an older kernel, and start the upgrade again? | 03:58 |

| OerHeks | desktop 10.04 support ended some months ago | 04:00 |
| xangua | like 48 months ago, yes | 04:01 |
| happyfr0gg | bubbasaures - thanks. | 04:01 |
| * OerHeks counts to 20 | 04:02 | |
| xangua | OerHeks: ooh sorry, 44 months :P | 04:02 |
| derek01 | Oerheks: oldest kernel boots to a failsafe gfx mode, and has no keyboard support. Switching to a any other console brings up nothing | 04:02 |
| derek01 | Under a regular boot I can access a console, but it's being picky about a WiFi connection | 04:03 |
| OerHeks | derek01, i suggest backup your data and do a fresh 14.04 install | 04:03 |
| derek01 | OerHeks: can't really so that without being able to first download a new release. Which I can't, because I can't get a connection to my router | 04:05 |
| derek01 | Sorry, 12.04 not 10.04 | 04:05 |
| bubbasaures | derek01, 12.04 to 14.04? | 04:06 |
| derek01 | Bubbasaures yes | 04:09 |
| bubbasaures | derek01, I would agree with the backup and install, however is it backed up now? | 04:10 |
| derek01 | Data isn't an issue. Having an Internet connection to be able to get a new release is. | 04:10 |
| bubbasaures | derek01, This no nite etho or wifi? | 04:11 |
| bubbasaures | net* | 04:11 |
| derek01 | Wifi | 04:11 |
| bubbasaures | derek01, can you try etho? | 04:11 |
| derek01 | Bubba: Not available | 04:12 |
| bubbasaures | derek01, Cool, well that's all here from me you've painted your self into a corner. ;) | 04:12 |
| OerHeks | use the machine you are typing on now. | 04:13 |
| derek01 | Cell phone | 04:13 |
| derek01 | Been trying to understand nmcli, with no luck. I can get it to see the connection, but not tell it to connect to it | 04:15 |
| derek01 | Same with iwconfig, got it to connect and no errors with dhclient eth1, but still no internet | 04:17 |
| OerHeks | derek01, i think this way: nmcli c up id <SSID> iface wlan0 # or wlan1 depends on your situation | 04:24 |
| derek01 | Oerheks: unknown connection : ssidhere | 04:25 |

| somsip | hendrich: highlight, then middle click in terminal | 04:53 |
| EriC^^ | hendrich: copy and paste what? | 04:53 |
| cyclob|work | right mouse click in the terminal | 04:53 |
| hendrich | Neither works | 04:53 |
| EriC^^ | hendrich: are you using xterm? | 04:53 |
| wad | So I plugged my trusty old USB scanner into my laptop, and I can see it with lsusb. Simple Scan sees it just fine. But when I click "scan", it says "failed, unable to start scan" | 04:55 |
| wad | Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? | 04:55 |
| hendrich | Eric^^: I apologize but I think you might as well of asked me where the gnomes keeps their purple rainbow dinosaurs | 04:55 |
| hendrich | Can you explain it like I'm autistic? | 04:55 |
| wad | "scanimage -L" doesn't show it. Hmm. | 04:57 |
| hendrich | wad: It sounds stupid but did you try plugging it out and back in? Thats what I did and it worked. | 04:58 |
| wad | I'll try it. :) | 04:58 |
| hendrich | Goodluck bro | 04:58 |
| EriC^^ | hendrich: whats so confusing? are you using xterm ( the terminal ) | 05:00 |
| EriC^^ | hendrich: or gnome-terminal ..etc.? | 05:00 |

| javi404 | can we talk about systemd now? | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: this channel is for support questions | 06:04 |
| javi404 | ubottu: wtf are you talking about? is systemd not relavent? | 06:04 |
| javi404 | i have a systemd question | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | !systemd | javi404 | 06:04 |
| ubottu | javi404: systemd has been chosen as the future init system for Ubuntu, please see http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1316 for the announcement. | 06:04 |
| EriC^^ | javi404: come back in 2016 | 06:04 |
| javi404 | maybe i can be allowed to ask it before im banned ffs. | 06:05 |
| javi404 | whats wrong with you guys? | 06:05 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: there's no reason to get angry | 06:05 |
| arjun_k | lotuspsychje>what we can do now | 06:05 |
| hendrich | EriC^^: I came back just to thank you for helping me out man, Ubuntu is working again with OpenGL acceleration. | 06:05 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: you said 'talk about' | 06:05 |
| EriC^^ | hendrich: cool, no problem :) | 06:05 |
| * rww looks up | 06:05 | |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: nice fix | 06:05 |
| javi404 | lotuspsychje: how can one not get angry? I didn't even ask my question and im getting PM from bots and mods about being on topic. | 06:06 |
| hendrich | javi404: Bro, just do what I do. | 06:06 |
| hendrich | Count from 10. | 06:06 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: talking about packages is something else then asking a question | 06:06 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: you havent asked a question yet | 06:06 |
| javi404 | lotuspsychje: you don't even know what my question is going to be, because you shut me down before i can ask it. | 06:07 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: and your question is? | 06:07 |
| arjun_k | <CtrlAltDelicious> what we can do now?? | 06:08 |
| arjun_k | <lotuspsychje> do i need to stay here or not? | 06:08 |
| javi404 | lotuspsychje: my question was about the path to systemd, but at this point, i should just move my farm to centos and deal with redhat bullshit. | 06:08 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | arjun_k: Did you do this yet? sudo apt-get install cowsay fortune-mod | 06:08 |
| lotuspsychje | !language | javi404 | 06:08 |
| ubottu | javi404: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 06:08 |
| rww | javi404: the path to systemd is "wait for the next version of Ubuntu to come out" | 06:08 |
| javi404 | lotuspsychje: what language? | 06:08 |
| rww | "bullshit" | 06:08 |
| javi404 | ubottu: i was calm untill i ran into you guys | 06:09 |
| ubottu | javi404: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:09 |
| javi404 | holy cow | 06:09 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | apt get moo javi404 ? | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | javi404: you can install systemd on ubuntu now, on your own risk.. | 06:09 |
| lotuspsychje | !info systemd | javi404 | 06:09 |
| ubottu | javi404: systemd (source: systemd): system and service manager. In component main, is standard. Version 208-8ubuntu8.1 (utopic), package size 1365 kB, installed size 6396 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 06:09 |
| rww | CtrlAltDelicious: can we keep the cowsay and mooing nonsense out of here please | 06:09 |
| javi404 | is this the official ubuntu support channel? | 06:09 |
| rww | yep | 06:09 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | rww: Its not non-sense... | 06:10 |
| hendrich | javi404: No. Its the hidden society of penguin people. | 06:10 |
| hendrich | Worship the penguin. | 06:10 |
| hendrich | Love thy penguin. | 06:10 |
| javi404 | hendrich: seems like it. | 06:10 |
| rww | !behelpful | 06:10 |
| ubottu | As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 06:10 |
| rww | now, back to actual support questions | 06:10 |
| javi404 | ubottu: your not helpful at all. | 06:10 |
| ubottu | javi404: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:10 |
| javi404 | scumbag bot | 06:11 |
| javi404 | who programed that POS? | 06:11 |
| hendrich | javi404: Whats the problemo bro? | 06:11 |
| * lotuspsychje is rest my case | 06:11 | |
| rww | Yes, you can install systemd in currently released versions. No, it isn't supported as PID 1 yet. No, I wouldn't recommend doing it. | 06:11 |
| rww | Anything else? | 06:11 |
| javi404 | hendrich: apparently the problem is, i can't even ask a question in here. | 06:11 |
| javi404 | so much for community support. | 06:11 |
| rww | might I point out that you haven't actually tried yet | 06:12 |
| hendrich | javi404: Uh, yeah you can. Granted everyone except Eric has a stick up their butt, but they are trying to help you man. | 06:12 |
| arjun_k | i thought that u will solve my issues. but no one is trying to give proper solution for the problem | 06:12 |
| javi404 | rww: scroll up. | 06:12 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | arjun_k: Im sorry man, Ill actulaly help this time | 06:12 |
| hendrich | Remember, they are doing this FOR FREE. Just ask. | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | arjun_k: did you try an alternative filemanager yet? | 06:12 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | Do this command, and paste the results | 06:12 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | sudo apt-get install lolcat | 06:12 |
| javi404 | hendrich: i understand that, but i also help for free in other channels, and dont treat people like this. | 06:13 |
| chu | javi404: You came in with obscenities, if you had bothered to read the guidelines mentined in the topic. You might understand why you have not been as welcomed here as you (apparently) imagined you would be. This is not the fault of this community, this is entirely your own fault. Smarten up, or leave. | 06:13 |
| rww | javi404: I did. I don't see a question from you. What is your question? | 06:13 |
| javi404 | chu: obscenities? are you serious? | 06:13 |
| chu | Dead serious mate. | 06:13 |
| javi404 | rww: scroll up again. | 06:14 |
| javi404 | chu: sorry that bad words hurt you. | 06:14 |
| hendrich | javi404: Why not just have this chat start from Square One, my friend? | 06:14 |
| hendrich | here, I'll start | 06:14 |
| javi404 | ill try to confess my sins next time. | 06:14 |
| hendrich | Hello javi404, what is your problem? | 06:14 |
| javi404 | hendrich: good idea. | 06:14 |
| javi404 | hendrich: im currently running my cloud on centos6 | 06:15 |
| javi404 | i don't like centos7 | 06:15 |
| javi404 | because of systemd | 06:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | javi404 | 06:15 |
| ubottu | javi404: #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! | 06:15 |
| rww | lotuspsychje: that's unnecessary. | 06:15 |
| javi404 | how is ubuntu as far as systemd goes? | 06:15 |
| rww | javi404: Currently-released versions of Ubuntu do not use systemd as PID1. The next version, 15.04, will. | 06:15 |
| javi404 | can someone mute that damn bot? | 06:16 |
| rww | 15.04 will not support alternative init systems other than systemd, so if you're on the not-a-fan-of-systemd side of the fence, I'd go with something else. | 06:16 |
| redDawn | OpenRC.... | 06:16 |
| rww | (Debian springs to mind) | 06:16 |
| lotuspsychje | discussing other distro is ontopic now? | 06:16 |
| javi404 | rww: but what is the game plan for other future versions? | 06:17 |
| rww | lotuspsychje: Providing background for a support question is ontopic. Goading users is not. | 06:17 |
| rww | javi404: The game plan for all versions of Ubuntu released in the future is systemd. | 06:17 |
| hendrich | javi404: Its honestly not close, i don't recommend Ubuntu for systemd yet. | 06:17 |
| javi404 | lotuspsychje: im talking about switching distross pay attention. | 06:17 |
| supercom32 | Do most OS's like Ubuntu need to handle ware leveling on SSD's or is that something which should happen transparently? | 06:17 |
| rww | supercom32: It's done using TRIM in the Linux kernel. | 06:17 |
| hendrich | Why is a Linux Kernel called a kernel? | 06:18 |
| supercom32 | rww: So outside of TRIM, does it do anything else? or is it up to the SSD to do the rest? | 06:18 |
| javi404 | hendrich: well that is what i need to consider. | 06:18 |
| rww | supercom32: As far as I know, the only thing the OS worries about is supporting TRIM, and the SSD does the rest itself. | 06:18 |
| zerowaitstate | hendrich: it's actually called a kernel is most OS'es, it's just you hear it more in Linux because you can actually compile it yourself | 06:19 |
| undecim | hendrich, because it's the center of the system, like the kernel of a seed | 06:19 |
| supercom32 | rww: I've been told by some people that to keep your drive running fast, you should only fill it to about 75% usually. If you simply partition/size only 75% of the space, would that work? or does the whole drive need to be partitioned for the SSD ware leveling to know about it and use that space? | 06:19 |
| javi404 | so why would i move my current cluster to ubuntu? | 06:20 |
| hendrich | zerowaitstate: Why would you want to compile a kernel yourself? | 06:20 |
| rww | supercom32: I don't know, sorry. You might want to ask ##hardware. | 06:20 |
| undecim | supercom32, You need to keep 75% of the filesystem space empty | 06:20 |
| zerowaitstate | zerowaitstate: to support new, interesting, or experimental things | 06:20 |
| javi404 | supercom32: morons told you that | 06:20 |
| rww | javi404: Presumably you'd do so if you test it and it works better for you than other distros. | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | so far for ubuntu support... | 06:20 |
| hendrich | javi404: You don't. | 06:20 |
| javi404 | rww: hendrich: basically what your saying is i should keep centos? | 06:21 |
| supercom32 | javi484: Doesn't filling up your drive to capacity mean longer write times due to having to flush blocks and write them again, vs just writing to an empty block? | 06:21 |
| javi404 | supercom32: lrn2tab | 06:21 |
| rww | javi404: I'm saying that if you're considering switching, you should spin up Ubuntu on your testing gear and see if it works better for you than CentOS. | 06:21 |
| hendrich | javi404: Apparently Ubuntu just had a giant Pitstorm around systemd because the guys behind Ubuntu are neckbeard. | 06:21 |
| rww | If it does, then great. If not, stick with CentOS or use something else. | 06:21 |
| hendrich | javi404: Quote: "Finally, after Debian, Ubuntu's parent Linux distribution, voted for systemd , Ubuntu's founder Mark Shuttleworth announced that Canonical would support systemd rather than continue to push for Upstart." | 06:21 |
| undecim | supercom32, If you just have your partitioned sized like that, it's the same as having a smaller drive. They OS needs room to work, so files can be spaced out in case the sizes are changed | 06:21 |
| ki7mt | hendrich, to enable features that may not be enabled by default, or remove unwated features, re: Kernel: "der Kern" which I would translate to "the core". | 06:22 |
| rww | "pitstorm"? Ubuntu's switching to systemd, it's not controversial with us because we've *always* only supported one init system *shrug* | 06:22 |
| hendrich | javi404: So basically its way too early and you really should either stick with CentOS or look around. | 06:22 |
| hendrich | rww: I was told not to sweat by the Penguin God | 06:22 |
| hendrich | *swear | 06:22 |
| javi404 | rww: im looking for professional feedback, you don't seem to have any, so just stop answering my questions unless you have run a 1000 node ubuntu cluster and can provide real world useful advice. | 06:22 |
| redDawn | If you want the greatness of a SysV Init system, look into Gentoo | 06:23 |
| hendrich | Gentoo is love | 06:23 |
| rww | javi404: Nobody here has run a 1000 node Ubuntu cluster, and I run Ubuntu professionally. | 06:23 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: filling the drive lowering performance is usually a filesystem efficiency issue relating to fragmentation. Linux handles fragmentation differently than Windows | 06:23 |
| undecim | Does 1k VMs count? | 06:23 |
| ki7mt | I have, but not with Ubuntu | 06:23 |
| javi404 | undecim: yeah, that counts | 06:23 |
| hendrich | I have a robot that shoots 300 Ubuntu cluster bombs for the US military | 06:23 |
| redDawn | Uh oh... i sense a p!ssing match | 06:23 |
| undecim | javi404, gimme a couple days... | 06:24 |
| rww | hendrich: cut it out with the nonsense | 06:24 |
| javi404 | rww: then I am asking for advice in the wrong place. | 06:24 |
| rww | javi404: then leave. | 06:24 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: I was under the impression for SSD drives this was diffrent as you can only write in blocks. Thus, if a block is partially filled, you need to read it out, modify and check in again. Vs just writing to an empty block. | 06:24 |
| supercom32 | perhaps the performance loss isn't a lot, but I guess there is something | 06:24 |
| redDawn | doesn't the OS just see it as a generic block device anyway? | 06:24 |
| hendrich | Why would people want to compile their own kernels? | 06:24 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: that's true, but a lot of SSD's include wear-leveling firmware to counteract that. | 06:25 |
| ki7mt | javi404, That was my next statement, very few in there would have high level HPC experience, but I'm sure they are lurking from time to time | 06:25 |
| redDawn | hendrich, to det rid of unneccesary feautres that take up space and slow the kernel | 06:25 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: in essence, that's what TRIM does as well | 06:25 |
| rww | hendrich: generally, it's if the stock kernel doesn't enable something they need for their hardware | 06:25 |
| redDawn | or to enable special non standard features | 06:25 |
| rww | some people do it for performance reasons, but I've never found that to be particularly effective | 06:25 |
| hendrich | redDawn: Can you give me a basic example? | 06:25 |
| lotuspsychje | nice ontopic conversation... | 06:25 |
| redDawn | hendrich: Well, say you want to use a specia lTV tuner card.... | 06:25 |
| undecim | supercom32, It would depend on the drive firmware | 06:25 |
| rww | lotuspsychje: If you're just going to sit here and ma │06:21:56 < hendrich> | javi404: Quote: "Finally, after Debian, Ubuntu's parent Linux distribution, voted for systemd , Ubuntu's founder Mark Shuttleworth announced that Canonical would support | 06:26 |
| rww | ... damn cat | 06:26 |
| rww | let's try that again | 06:26 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: I see | 06:26 |
| hendrich | redDawn: And normally its not suppourted by Ubuntu, you'd build it yourself to do it? | 06:26 |
| rww | lotuspsychje: if you're just going to sit here and make comments about on-topicness, perhaps it's time to take a break for a while | 06:26 |
| redDawn | Well, imean in general linux. | 06:26 |
| redDawn | In ubuntu | 06:26 |
| hendrich | So the kernel is like | 06:26 |
| hendrich | The brain? | 06:27 |
| ki7mt | Yes | 06:27 |
| supercom32 | undecim: I assume even if you don't partition the whole SSD, the SSD firmware won't care. It will wear level over the whole device under the hood for you? | 06:27 |
| javi404 | ki7mt: i notice that now. im just surprised that before i can even get to my question, there is a pissing match and i get targetted for censorship. | 06:27 |
| undecim | supercom32, It should. yeah | 06:27 |
| hendrich | And people compile kernels to do what they want? I see, never knew that. | 06:27 |
| redDawn | The kernel manages the physical resources of the system so programs I write can use those resources | 06:27 |
| redDawn | Like keyboard input, memory, harddisks | 06:27 |
| hendrich | redDawn: Thanks, I want to learn everything now. | 06:27 |
| hendrich | Why is Linux called Linux? | 06:28 |
| redDawn | I can suggest a few seminal books | 06:28 |
| === jackie is now known as Guest85512 | ||
| undecim | hendrich, Linus's Minix | 06:28 |
| hendrich | redDawn: Go ahead | 06:28 |
| redDawn | "A quarter Century Of Unuix" | 06:28 |
| hendrich | What exactly *is* Linux? | 06:28 |
| hendrich | If the kernel is the brain | 06:29 |
| javi404 | ki7mt: are there any people in here i should talk to maybe tomorrow when the children are in school? | 06:29 |
| hendrich | Then whats Linux? | 06:29 |
| ki7mt | javi404, I can discuss Infiniband, Realtime regression for Lithography Mask targets, Maxwell's equations , HDP, ETCH, etc etc and the like, but that is really way OffTopic here., but | 06:29 |
| redDawn | Linux is particular Kernel developed by Linus Torvalds and a few others | 06:29 |
| undecim | hendrich, technically, just the linux kernel | 06:29 |
| redDawn | its a free and open-source kernel anyone can use or change | 06:29 |
| Guest85512 | a people whose name is Linus | 06:29 |
| redDawn | Now, the operating system that ubuntu is based on is called GNU | 06:29 |
| javi404 | ki7mt: really what i want to know is, are their any advantages to looking at ubuntu. | 06:30 |
| undecim | hendrich, It's the piece of code that runs directly on the CPU in a Linux OS. It acts as the interface between hardware and software. | 06:30 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: under the hood, what a lot of wear leveling firmware does is remap disk block locations so that sequential writes are physically sequential on the ssd. You can achieve the same effect with a log-structured filesystem | 06:30 |
| redDawn | "GNU is not Unix" A free and open Unix | 06:30 |
| javi404 | systemd sucks, so might as well reevaluate. | 06:30 |
| hendrich | Then if Linux is a open-source Kernal made by Linus, what is Unix? | 06:30 |
| hendrich | Is Linux Unix? | 06:30 |
| lotuspsychje | rww: ill take a break allright, but this time your wrong about it | 06:30 |
| rww | javi404: If you don't like systemd, switching to a distro that's moving to systemd is probably not your best option. | 06:30 |
| ki7mt | hendrich, What are you trying to do, get a better understanding of Linux in general or do you have a Ubuntu specific problem? | 06:30 |
| redDawn | IS linux Unix? A question still debated. | 06:30 |
| redDawn | It IS unix like | 06:30 |
| javi404 | rww: are you blind? | 06:30 |
| undecim | It's close enough | 06:30 |
| redDawn | Its a clone | 06:30 |
| javi404 | rww: read what i just wrote again. | 06:30 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: For SSD devices, is a SWAP file/partition still required or recommended? Or will this just somehow effect wear leveling or performance? | 06:31 |
| hendrich | ki7mt: Well, in order to ask questions about Ubuntu, I need to know what the heck Ubuntu is | 06:31 |
| javi404 | rww: i talked about reevaluating all distros. | 06:31 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: i don't recommend putting swap on an SSD | 06:31 |
| redDawn | Basicaly, Unix was this amazing thing, but it was licensed, and some hackers hated that | 06:31 |
| rww | oh for god's sake | 06:31 |
| redDawn | so they made a free one, called it GNU | 06:31 |
| xtpeeps | ./test:error while loading shared libraries :libstdc++.so.6:Connor open shared object file :No such or directory | 06:31 |
| undecim | Was wondering how long that would take... | 06:31 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: i mean, you can, but swap will wear out the ssd due to frequent changes | 06:31 |
| ki7mt | javi404, It's all Application Dependant, you can spen more $$ on R&D trying to answer that question rather than just investing in the app development itself. | 06:32 |
| hendrich | I see, so a Kernel is the brain. Unix was a closed kernel which made people mad. Linus made Linux to have an open Kernel and Ubuntu was born out of Linux. | 06:32 |
| hendrich | Did I get that right? | 06:32 |
| rww | ki7mt: you might want to move to PM, we tired of the abuse here | 06:32 |
| bubbasaures | zerowaitstate, SSD's now have the same mean life as spinning ones. | 06:32 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: Something that wear leveling at the firmware level won't handle well I assume? | 06:32 |
| undecim | hendrich, pretty much | 06:32 |
| chu | hendrich: There's a book called "Just for Fun" you should find a copy of and read. | 06:32 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: bubbasaures is correct, really. It's less of a problem now than it was a few years ago | 06:32 |
| Guest85512 | Why couldn't i name "jackie" in this chanel? | 06:32 |
| redDawn | Another great book: | 06:33 |
| phroa` | yo rww | 06:33 |
| redDawn | The design of Unix operating system by Maurice j Bach | 06:33 |
| rww | Guest85512: because someone already owns that on the IRC network we use | 06:33 |
| hendrich | So if Ubuntu is just a kernel, whats GNOME or Cinnamon? Are they just GUIs for the kernel? | 06:33 |
| redDawn | No, ubuntu is not a kernel | 06:33 |
| redDawn | Ubuntu Uses the linux kernel | 06:33 |
| bubbasaures | Guest85512, it is not the channel someone is registered with freenode | 06:33 |
| undecim | hendrich, Ubuntu isn't a new form of Linux Ubuntu has a copy of Linux (the "linux" packages) that it uses. I'd hesitate to call the kernel a brain (though it does a lot of intelligent stuff). It's not making decisions on what to do; that's the applications' job | 06:34 |
| ki7mt | hendrich, If you know nothing of Ubuntu, I would start here : https://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 06:34 |
| redDawn | https://www.gnu.org/ | 06:34 |
| redDawn | That site explains it very well, becuase they have been exlpaining it since the 80s | 06:34 |
| redDawn | lol | 06:34 |
| hendrich | thanks bro | 06:34 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: Ah, that helps thanks for the advice! To prevent SSD performance bottlenecks, how much free space would you recommend to have open? | 06:34 |
| ki7mt | I help write some of it, over the years. | 06:35 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: That is, space so the SSD firmware can do it's magic to try and keep things speedy and wear leveled | 06:35 |
| redDawn | If you want to learn to progam, I advise doing it in a Linux (Ubuntu or whatever) with C. | 06:35 |
| redDawn | C is the language of unix. | 06:35 |
| undecim | hendrich, The kernel is like a government | 06:36 |
| ki7mt | C++ and Python, and C being a close third. | 06:36 |
| redDawn | Python didn't exist for most of the unix history | 06:36 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: I honestly would not worry too much about it. A bigger concern is making sure the disk doesn't get full and crash something | 06:36 |
| redDawn | Now the language of linux? prob C++ | 06:36 |
| undecim | hendrich, For example, any time a program needs more RAM, it asks the kernel through an "alloc" function, and the kernel finds it some free RAM and tells the program where it's at. | 06:36 |
| Ghost96 | er.. anyone can guide me to install rtorrent & rutorrent in ubuntu 14.04 vps? | 06:37 |
| hendrich | So the kernel acts as the Admin of the OS? | 06:37 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: what are you running on this box? | 06:37 |
| aeon-ltd | Ghost96: not in the repos? | 06:37 |
| ki7mt | I would not n't say C++ is the language of Linux, it's just a very good starting point. | 06:37 |
| Ghost96 | yeah, i'm using repos | 06:37 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: Well, the reason I asked is because If I leave space on a drive, I tend to fill it up with junk (^_^); I plan to put Ubunu 14.04 on it. | 06:37 |
| aeon-ltd | Ghost96: is rtorrent there? | 06:37 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: Or at least the head of stream non-LTS version of Ubuntu. | 06:38 |
| OerHeks | Ghost96, sudo apt-get install rtorrent | 06:38 |
| undecim | hendrich, it also lets programs manage files. Whenever you need open a file, the program does a syscall to the kernel to open and read it | 06:38 |
| OerHeks | rutorrent does notexist. | 06:38 |
| hendrich | undecim: I see | 06:38 |
| hendrich | So what exactly are the terminals and why are there 4 of them? I tried using one and when i tried doing two terminals do things at once, one got unhappy and stopped whatever it was doing. | 06:38 |
| ki7mt | hendrich, The kernel is the interface between the physical hardware and what you eventually see as the user. It has lots of modules and apps that help it do it's thing. | 06:38 |
| hendrich | Is the GUI basically a fancy terminal? | 06:38 |
| Ghost96 | .. for rutorrent i fetch it at rakshasa.no | 06:39 |
| undecim | hendrich, terminals are just apps | 06:39 |
| xtpeeps | Anyone can help me ,what's the meaning is this : ./test:error while loading shared libraries :libstdc++.so.6:Connor open shared object file :No such or directory | 06:39 |
| hendrich | undecim: Why can't they have graphics if they are apps? | 06:39 |
| hendrich | Why are they black and ugly? | 06:39 |
| undecim | hendrich, basically any program has an input stream and an output stream | 06:39 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: most bottlenecks on filesystems for direct attach disks is related to seek time. For SSD that is non-existent, which means you will hit either software or SATA bus limitations first. | 06:39 |
| redDawn | "Operating System Concepts 2012" I have an older version, has dinosaurs on cover. Highly recomend | 06:40 |
| undecim | hendrich, the terminal lets you see the output, and send text to the input | 06:40 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | xtpeeps: Means it cant find libstdc++.so | 06:40 |
| OerHeks | xtpeeps, seems like you haven no libstdc++.so installed | 06:40 |
| amh345 | I'm trying to install vpn for cisco in ubuntu. as it turns out the cisco linux vpn app is really outdated and doesnt work with newer distress. | 06:40 |
| redDawn | you can get all these books without cost on the net in pdf format... if you choose | 06:40 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | sudo apt-get updatedb | 06:40 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | then do locate libstdc++.so | 06:40 |
| amh345 | anyone deal with this before? | 06:40 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | see if it shows up anywhere | 06:40 |
| undecim | hendrich, in Ubuntu, it launches a program called Bash to give you control of the system through text commands | 06:40 |
| hendrich | undecim: Why not it does that without looking like MSDOS? Can I replace them? | 06:40 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, More than likely, you have a linker error or lib missing for the test | 06:40 |
| aeon-ltd | hendrich: text based, it requires very little rendering so not much power is needed to display termnals | 06:40 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: That's a good point. | 06:40 |
| undecim | hendrich, Are you talking about the Ctrl+Alt+F* terminals? | 06:41 |
| amh345 | i found a link that apparently has patches for it.. but it's on stand ford uni's website and you need a login. | 06:41 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: i've had SSD's on an LSI MegaRAID card, and the raid card ended up being the bottleneck | 06:41 |
| hendrich | undecim: Yea | 06:41 |
| mallory | french? | 06:41 |
| lotuspsychje | !fr | mallory | 06:41 |
| ubottu | mallory: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 06:41 |
| undecim | hendrich, just use the terminal app... | 06:41 |
| xtpeeps | Letme see THX,guys! | 06:41 |
| undecim | hendrich, You can change the fonts and colors and stuff | 06:41 |
| hendrich | undecim: Yeah, lemme rephrase my question | 06:41 |
| OerHeks | xtpeeps, sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 | 06:42 |
| hendrich | See how fancy Pidgin IRC is? Its all purple, white, sexy, appealing, has tabs and everything. | 06:42 |
| hendrich | The terminal is ugly as sin and basic | 06:42 |
| redDawn | https://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/e/e2/Flow1.jpg | 06:42 |
| redDawn | A bsic fowgraph | 06:42 |
| hendrich | So if the terminal is an app, why isn't there a terminal app for noobs? | 06:42 |
| redDawn | The "terminal" is the SHell | 06:42 |
| zerowaitstate | supercom32: frankly, once you hit a certain number of IOPS, stuff like the linux kernel itself can actually become a bottleneck. | 06:42 |
| undecim | hendrich, You're saying you don't want a text-based interface? | 06:42 |
| hendrich | undecim: I guess so, is that possible on ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | xtpeeps: Do this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib32/libstdc++.so | 06:43 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | and try again | 06:43 |
| undecim | hendrich, Yeah. It's what Ubuntu devs have spent a lot of time on. | 06:43 |
| undecim | We call it Ubuntu | 06:43 |
| redDawn | The text based interface is an amazingly powerful tool to programmers and powerusers. But if you want all major linux distros (ubuntu included) support GUI | 06:43 |
| supercom32 | zerowaitstate: I see. I guess with modern SSD's a lot of these older problems are no longer an issue. | 06:43 |
| undecim | The great thing about a terminal is that its unambiguous | 06:44 |
| hendrich | undecim: Then why do I still need to use the terminal for things like downloading fglrx? | 06:44 |
| undecim | hendrich, Because ubuntu and AMD haven't gotten that intimate yet | 06:44 |
| redDawn | Infact ubuntu is the leading Linux Distro for people new to Linux. | 06:44 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | xtpeeps: did that help? | 06:44 |
| OerHeks | hendrich, you don't have to | 06:44 |
| hendrich | If Ubuntu is the leading Linux Distro for new people then it has failed for anyone using it to game. | 06:44 |
| redDawn | ? | 06:44 |
| redDawn | Steam on Linux? | 06:44 |
| hendrich | Yeah. | 06:44 |
| redDawn | Half life series, portal series, Arma 3 | 06:45 |
| undecim | There's nothing Ubuntu can do about that. The game makes have to make their games more portable | 06:45 |
| hendrich | So far either Ubuntu or AMD has fucked up horribly and drivers became a huge pain in the ass. | 06:45 |
| redDawn | We can't force other people to do things, so if they don't want to make a game for us... | 06:45 |
| undecim | hendrich, I had to add nomodeset to my kernel line to get mine working | 06:45 |
| hendrich | This is my second reinstall because the last time the drivers shut Unity down | 06:45 |
| redDawn | Also 0ad is a great RTS like Age of empires | 06:45 |
| OerHeks | !language | hendrich | 06:46 |
| ubottu | hendrich: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 06:46 |
| undecim | hendrich, I can't recall what it did before I changed it. Don't recall it being pretty. | 06:46 |
| hateball | If you're looking to game, it helps doing research so you can avoid AMD and go for nVidia or Intel | 06:46 |
| hendrich | it hurts being poor | 06:46 |
| redDawn | Hate, nothing is wrong with AMD. | 06:46 |
| undecim | I still get better results with AMD | 06:46 |
| undecim | It just takes some fiddling with drivers | 06:46 |
| redDawn | AMD is a great company with good hardware | 06:47 |
| ki7mt | Some fiddling ? that's a joke right ;-) | 06:47 |
| undecim | ki7mt, Sounds like you had to try a few different things to get yours working. But don't think your experiences are universal | 06:47 |
| zerowaitstate | frankly, the video manufacturers have a hard time keeping up with kernel developments. Linux kernel changes WAY faster than Microsoft, Apple, etc. | 06:47 |
| hendrich | Why is that? | 06:47 |
| ki7mt | I got nothing against AMD, got a 32-core Workstation that is awesome. | 06:48 |
| undecim | nice | 06:48 |
| zerowaitstate | ki7mt: do you cook your breakfast on it? | 06:48 |
| hendrich | Why can M$ get away with not updating their kernel often but distros like ubuntu does? | 06:48 |
| redDawn | hendrich, Linux isn't windows. Though it is in every technical way superior as a result of the Unix Heritage and the FOSS philosophy; we cannot force developers to develop on it. And most end user use windows, so most games a written for Windows. | 06:48 |
| lotuspsychje | !offtopic | 06:48 |
| ubottu | #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! | 06:48 |
| undecim | hendrich, because Windows has to support every piece of software and pluggable gizmo you can think of | 06:49 |
| rww | Indeed. Can we take the hardware debate and the "closed source software makes my gaming hard" to #ubuntu-offtopic, please? | 06:49 |
| redDawn | And M$ wont show us the code. | 06:49 |
| hendrich | rww: Okay dokey | 06:49 |
| undecim | hendrich, And changes to the kernel can cause problems with it. In the Linux world, package managers and the benefits of open source make this less of a problem | 06:49 |
| zerowaitstate | lotuspsychje: very well sir | 06:49 |
| jnhghy | I've installed smartmoontools to test my ssd (my system was freezing so started testing things) and when I run "smartctl -a /dev/sda" I get error and I think the ssd needs to be replaced, can anybody confirm: http://pastebin.com/2QWMZWbd | 06:50 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: did you change bios from ide to ahci? | 06:50 |
| hendrich | Where can I go to change the performance/appearance settings of Ubuntu? I see apperance but it doesn't affect anythign like the transparency/window effects | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | hendrich: install ccsm | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | hendrich: some unity effects there to tune | 06:51 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: I'll have to check that as this is set up for a while now and I can't remember .... can that cause that error to be displayed? | 06:51 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: wich ubuntu version and ssd brand plz? | 06:52 |
| hendrich | Why does Ubuntu have Amazon and why did so many people get butthurt over it? Is it there to stay? | 06:52 |
| zerowaitstate | jnhghy: you need to switch your bus mode to AHCI regardless. | 06:52 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: ubuntu 14.04 ssd Kingstone | 06:52 |
| rww | hendrich: Ubuntu hasn't included Amazon in Unity search results for a while now. | 06:52 |
| hendrich | Really? This is 14.10 and its still there. | 06:52 |
| redDawn | hendrich, Most people who use linux prided themselves on systems that had no Microsoft style bloatware. | 06:52 |
| hendrich | Fresh off the site. | 06:52 |
| rww | hendrich: That's odd, considering I tested it literally last week. | 06:53 |
| rww | The icon is on the bar by default. Search results are not. | 06:53 |
| hendrich | No, unless the website on my W7 machine gave me some wierd version, they are infact there. | 06:53 |
| hendrich | I know because I disabled them. | 06:53 |
| mariuscc | I got a problem installing mongo extension for php, I upgraded php to 5.4 from 5.4 it used to work on that version, but now when I reinstall mongo it seams that the api version is not compatible | 06:54 |
| rww | Good, sounds like you're all sorted as far as Amazon goes, then. | 06:54 |
| xtpeeps | CtrlAltDelicious:hn..known something but still have programs... THX man | 06:54 |
| hendrich | Yeah, but will it always be there? | 06:54 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: takes long loading on pastebin | 06:54 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | xtpeeps: Do what? | 06:54 |
| rww | hendrich: that sort of thing goes to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:54 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: can you paste to pasteubuntu plz? | 06:54 |
| mariuscc | now idk how to check if there's a compatible version or I'm doing something wrong | 06:54 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9754229/ thank you for your effort | 06:55 |
| hendrich | rww: I disagree, I'm asking if there is a reason to worry if Amazon is bloatware/spyware and if its better if I remove it. | 06:55 |
| hendrich | Amazon is apart of Ubuntu so I need suppourt for this question | 06:55 |
| redDawn | You can do anything you would like, its your system. It won't break anything if you remove it. | 06:55 |
| puppy | 0.0 | 06:56 |
| rww | hendrich: No it's not bloatware or spyware, and you already know how to remove it and whether to do so is up to you. | 06:56 |
| hendrich | redDawn: Alright, thanks. | 06:56 |
| puppy | 说话说话 | 06:56 |
| zerowaitstate | mariuscc: that question really needs to go to #php, although i feel your pain. php is a crime against humanity. | 06:56 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: does sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda show anything? | 06:56 |
| redDawn | As is javascript. | 06:56 |
| rww | puppy: #ubuntu-cn for Chinese-language discussion, please | 06:56 |
| mariuscc | zerowaitstate: thanks alot | 06:56 |
| xtpeeps | CtrlAltDelicious:working on my codes,seems I didn't install opencvd | 06:57 |
| CtrlAltDelicious | xtpeeps: ah, cool. | 06:57 |
| redDawn | I think whether is bloat-ware or not is debatable, but not here. It isn't spyware for sure | 06:58 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, You should not have created a link either, eventually, that will break you builds. | 06:58 |
| aeon-ltd | redDawn: it's as much spyware as google services are spyware | 06:58 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: i would doublecheck sata cables, bios layout, ide to ahci change and firmware upgrade of your kingston | 06:58 |
| redDawn | I did say that? didn't I? | 06:59 |
| redDawn | I said it is debatable that is bloatware | 06:59 |
| redDawn | spyware is only spyware when it claims to be something else | 07:00 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: thanks for your suggestion, it just freeze so I'll have to reboot it if I'm on it I'll also check the cables and bios, thanks for the suggestions and your time, I really appreciate it :) | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: no sweat mate | 07:00 |
| xtpeeps | ki7Mt: I download the files from web , the author linked it | 07:00 |
| redDawn | I do like the unite search of papers though | 07:00 |
| redDawn | *unity | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: when did this all start to happen? | 07:00 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, It's up too you ... but soon or later, that will be an issues if your your linking compiler libs | 07:01 |
| ki7mt | s/soon/sooner/ | 07:01 |
| shadaloo | hi anyone know how to get vlc to play videos while I'm alt+tabbing | 07:01 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: a few days ago... it first showed an "Operating System Not Found" error, I've rebooted it and it started... then stated freezing ... I don't remember any major changes that could have this impact (no bios changes at least) | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: is this an uefi machine? | 07:03 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: yes | 07:03 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: did ubuntu work properly before on your ssd? | 07:03 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: for about 2 months yes | 07:03 |
| freedom101 | rww: You may not know this but in 1933 a group of people started to impose the same sort of censorship you do on this irc channel, except instead of just banning someone with the click of a mouse, they rounded them up and gassed them. This group of people were the Nazi. Now you might justify to yourself why you kick people from this channel because you don't like bad words or don't agree with their ideas, but lets be clear. You are | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: hmm thats weird indeed, did you change anything recently? | 07:04 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: I'll start checking cables ... thanks for your help :) | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | jnhghy: okay good luck mate | 07:04 |
| jnhghy | lotuspsychje: thanks | 07:04 |
| xtpeeps | ki7Mt: my Qt version too old | 07:04 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, then use pbuilder | 07:06 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, Or use the opensource-installer and stcik it in /opt | 07:07 |
| redDawn | freedom ?? | 07:08 |
| redDawn | are you smoking crack? | 07:08 |
| xtpeeps | libstdc++.so.6 need for arm | 07:09 |
| xtpeeps | Not for Intel | 07:09 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, Install the cross compilers then | 07:09 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, That's where I'll leave is, as I don;t deal / work well with the arm devices, they get under my skin real quick. | 07:11 |
| ki7mt | redDawn, he had an opinion, however misguided it may have been, it was definitely in the wrong channel :regardless. | 07:12 |
| xtpeeps | ki7mt:okey,okey , I finished it Thank you!!! | 07:12 |
| redDawn | A guy comes in and accuses channel operators of being nazi death camp operators and you say "eh just an opinion" | 07:13 |
| redDawn | the lulz | 07:13 |
| xtpeeps | ki7mt: it really means alot to me | 07:14 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, what does? this program ? | 07:14 |
| ki7mt | redDawn, It is an opinion, he's entitled to it, just as rww was entitled to boot his @ss out for saying something so silly. | 07:16 |
| rww | Probably best if we just get back to support instead of pondering it too much :) | 07:16 |
| redDawn | ;P | 07:16 |
| u-bot | hi | 07:20 |
| xtpeeps | ki7mt:yes ,I'm working on my graduate proj | 07:21 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, Ok, been there, done that, just glad it wasn't ARM :-) | 07:22 |
| ki7mt | Anyway, I have to file some ITP's for packages. so CUL | 07:23 |
| xtpeeps | ki7mt, I am using OpenCV for arm , do you know something about it ? | 07:29 |
| ki7mt | xtpeeps, Other than it's a Gtk cross compiler setup, no, not allot really. | 07:30 |

| shadaloo | hi anyone know how to get vlc to play videos while I'm alt+tabbing | 07:41 |
| bubbasaures | shadaloo, This 15.04? | 07:41 |
| bubbasaures | shadaloo, keyboard has shortcuts, you might look there, you asked in the development channel is all. | 07:43 |
| mody_ | hello | 07:44 |
| u-bot | hi | 07:44 |
| OerHeks | shadaloo, you want to start a movie without mouse? use space to start | 07:44 |
| xtpeeps | Anyone know image2LCD | 07:44 |
| xtpeeps | How can I use it in Linux | 07:45 |
| cfhowlett | xtpeeps, meh. pretty ghostscript already does that. | 07:46 |
| OerHeks | !find image2LCD | 07:46 |
| ubottu | Package/file image2LCD does not exist in utopic | 07:46 |
| xtpeeps | == | 07:46 |
| ki7mt | Dont know about image2LCD but, check into ImageMagic or GIMP for *nix, or if your really motivated, POV-Ray | 07:46 |
| OerHeks | xtpeeps, what does image2LCD? | 07:47 |
| cfhowlett | ki7mt, I believe POV ray functionality has been integrated in blender | 07:47 |
| shadaloo | OerHeks: | 07:47 |
| shadaloo | no I want the movie to continue playing while I am alt+tabbing between programs | 07:47 |
| ki7mt | cfhowlett, Been a while for me, it may have been, Im no t sure. | 07:48 |
| OerHeks | shadaloo, no problem here, vlc keeps om playing while tabbing to an other app | 07:48 |
| u-bot | shadaloo, use supper+s | 07:48 |
| xtpeeps | cfhowlett:I wanna use it to create files. c | 07:50 |
| shadaloo | OerHeks: | 07:50 |
| shadaloo | must be because I upgraded to 15.04 | 07:50 |
| OerHeks | shadaloo, not supported here untill release, join #ubuntu+1 for vivid support | 07:50 |
| OerHeks | might be a bug | 07:51 |
| xtpeeps | OerHeks: it change image to .c | 07:51 |
| xtpeeps | Put the pic to arm,then show it | 07:52 |
| KoboldMcGee | Hey I'm having a problem | 07:57 |
| KoboldMcGee | I'm running 12.04 and I can't find my update-manager | 07:57 |
| === no_mu is now known as Nothing_Much | ||
| bubbasaures | KoboldMcGee, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ23oAgvHlc found this might help. | 08:00 |
| KoboldMcGee | Thanks bubbasures | 08:02 |
| bubbasaures | KoboldMcGee, No problem. | 08:02 |
| KoboldMcGee | Wait I typed update-manager in the dash but nothing shoped up | 08:03 |
| mariuscc | I'm trying to enable mongo extension for php, but it seams it want to load it from the wrong path althogh I tried all kind of combination, there is some sort of cache somewhere ? | 08:04 |
| lotuspsychje | KoboldMcGee: start sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade from terminal | 08:04 |
| OerHeks | KoboldMcGee, try 'update' and see what comes up? | 08:05 |
| OerHeks | also update-manager should work | 08:06 |
| KoboldMcGee | Well it looked like it installed some things but I don't see any changes let me restart my system and I'll be right back | 08:07 |
| KoboldMcGee | I'm back and it still looks like nothing changed | 08:11 |
| lotuspsychje | KoboldMcGee: what are you trying to do exactly? | 08:12 |
| bubbasaures | KoboldMcGee, We have not heard what any issue was but finding the update-manager, tell us what else is going on. | 08:12 |
| KoboldMcGee | Well I wated steam but it said I was missing libc.so.6 and I looked it up and it said to update but I couldn't figure it out so I want to update | 08:13 |

| onla | ok no. I added a line to be executed on the bootup to the file /etc/rc.local but it didnt execute on bootup, or maybe after executing it got reverted? | 08:53 |

| Industrial | Hi. Is there a GUI frontend to apt-get that isn't Software Center? I remember there was something before Software Center that allowed you to select 20 packages, then click apply and it would install them. | 09:05 |
| Industrial | I am really annoyed by Software Center | 09:05 |
| DJones | Industrial: synaptic | 09:06 |
| Industrial | whenever I install something some stupid spinner reloads the whole app all the time. Totally unneeded and user unfriendly imho. | 09:06 |
| Industrial | thanks | 09:06 |
| Industrial | I created a ticket for this issue at least 5 years ago | 09:07 |
| Industrial | noone has ever looked at it | 09:07 |
| onla | borw3: ye actually this seem to be a common problem so no wonder it doesnt work | 09:07 |
| Industrial | Why is the spinner even there at all in the Software Center? Why cant it just update entried from Installing to Installed (just a label update!) in the background? I dunno :) | 09:08 |
| bubbasaures | Industrial, 5 years and your using a gui? | 09:08 |

| poolson | specifically a spi module for this little embedded thing. | 11:37 |
| mcphail | poolson: if it is an "out of tree" module there isn't a standard way and you need to refer to the module's documentation. | 11:38 |
| Fuchs | poolson: usually: 1) get the sources for your current kernel (or header files) 2) compile the module and install it (usually with ./(configure, make, sudo make install, most do come with a readme) 3) load module (with modprobe) then you know whether it worked | 11:38 |
| Fuchs | to do things properly, you should create a .deb and add the module to dkms, so it is re-built every time you get a new kernel. Else you have to do that manually after each kernel update | 11:39 |
| poolson | hmmm | 11:40 |

| xdhjixdhsd | i am experiencing a problem with the installation of ubuntu 14.04 on an old computer. the video freezes after i press "try ubuntu without installing" | 12:20 |

| Digit | i heard rumour, amazon might buy canonical. any chance? or wild click-bait speculation? | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | Digit, clickbait | 12:24 |
| rodrigograca31_ | why would amazon buy canonical? what would it do with it? | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | !lubuntu |xdhjixdhsd | 12:24 |
| ubottu | xdhjixdhsd: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 12:24 |
| rodrigograca31_ | Digit: why would amazon buy canonical? what would it do with it? | 12:25 |
| xdhjixdhsd | BluesKaj I already tried Xubuntu, without success. will i be more lucky with lubuntu? | 12:25 |
| cfhowlett | rodrigograca31_, off-topic discussion | 12:25 |

| no_gravity | Hello! I connected a new mouse to my computer but the mouse cursor does not move. What can I do to diagnose the issue further? | 12:25 |
| cfhowlett | no_gravity, check batteries | 12:26 |
| OerHeks | no_gravity, what connector, ps/2 ? | 12:26 |
| xdhjixdhsd | Ben64 it comes with a pentium 4 | 12:26 |
| no_gravity | cfhowlett: it has no batteries. its via usb cable. | 12:26 |
| no_gravity | OerHeks: usb | 12:26 |

| rodrigograca31_ | no_gravity: use anothe USB port? | 12:27 |
| Ben64 | xdhjixdhsd: pentium 4 covers a very wide range of stuff | 12:27 |
| OerHeks | no_gravity, oke, what mouse? | 12:27 |
| Ben64 | Digit: still not appropriate for this channel | 12:27 |
| no_gravity | rodrigograca31_: tried them all | 12:27 |
| OerHeks | Digit, this is technical support only, join #ubuntu-offtopic please | 12:27 |
| no_gravity | OerHeks: i think its called "rapoo" | 12:27 |
| Ben64 | no_gravity: plug it in, then pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail -n20" | 12:28 |
| Digit | o_O oh. ok. didnt know where would have been apropriate for an ubuntu related question. thnx. | 12:28 |
| OerHeks | no_gravity, is is plugged in an usb3 port? | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | xdhjixdhsd, huw much RAM? | 12:28 |
| xdhjixdhsd | so, can't i install normal ubuntu or xubuntu on this pc? now it is running ubuntu 11.04 smoothly. i want to upgrade only for the support | 12:28 |
| Ben64 | xdhjixdhsd: you can try 12.04 | 12:28 |
| xdhjixdhsd | 512 mb | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | xdhjixdhsd, try lubuntu 12.04 | 12:29 |
| no_gravity | OerHeks: how do i find out what kind of usb port it is? | 12:29 |
| xdhjixdhsd | thank you all :) | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | usb 3 ports have >4 wires in them | 12:29 |
| OerHeks | no_gravity, maybe the manual of your machine can tell | 12:29 |
| Ben64 | a pastebin of dmesg would really help though... | 12:30 |
| no_gravity | Ben64: http://pastebin.com/4sQkPizu | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | xdhjixdhsd, lubuntu 14.04 should run fine | 12:30 |
| Ben64 | no_gravity: there you go, its not working | 12:30 |
| xdhjixdhsd | so, after 2017, i won't able to install most recent releases? | 12:31 |
| no_gravity | Ben64: you mean its a broken device? | 12:31 |
| Ben64 | xdhjixdhsd: likely, you should upgrade hardware by then | 12:31 |
| Ben64 | no_gravity: try it on a different computer, but possibly | 12:31 |
| no_gravity | Ben64: ok, one moment | 12:31 |
| xdhjixdhsd | I own a new pc, this one is my aunt's PC. i'm gonna try lubuntu. thanks. bye | 12:32 |

| === tcpman is now known as Guest96610 | ||
| xdhjixdhsd | my problem with ubuntu 14.04 is that the installation process doesn't start, even if the minimum requirement is respected. maybe some drivers are missing. I hope that the installation process with lubuntu 14.04 would start | 12:35 |
| SleepersTide | Can you, in a laptop with two SSDs, run a hypervisor and both Windows and Ubuntu, have a shared partition on the larger SSD which both swap to (in swapfiles); one OS is host and the other swaps over network? | 12:35 |
| no_gravity | Ben64: doesnt work on another computer as well. to hell with the device then. | 12:35 |
| OerHeks | xdhjixdhsd, pentium4 does not support PAE, i think that is your issue | 12:36 |

| blehbleh | Hi | 13:07 |
| PowerPenguin | Hi. I am trying to find a usb wifi device that will work with Ubuntu 14.10 server. The two I have tried so far did not work. Once I installed extra drivers one dongle almost worked. The documentation I have been able to find is very out of date, and not any of the dongles listed are for sale in Europe at this time it seems. | 13:07 |
| blehbleh | I am currently testing MAAS (https://maas.ubuntu.com/) and experience a weird issue | 13:08 |
| blehbleh | One of the step involves downloading PXE bootable images and apparently a copy of some Ubuntu packages | 13:09 |
| blehbleh | however this steps fails with: | 13:09 |
| blehbleh | # sudo maas-import-pxe-files | 13:09 |
| blehbleh | ValueError: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz failed checksum. | 13:09 |
| blehbleh | Now, I would blame a network error, faulty disk or else, .. | 13:10 |
| instigator | Hello. I know how to change the modified date of a file using the touch command, but i am not sure how to change the date that the file was created | 13:10 |
| blehbleh | execept that I can confirm by downloading manualy the file | 13:10 |
| fmcarreiro | hello everyone. How to install printserver linksys WPSM54G in ubuntu 14.10? thanks | 13:11 |
| blehbleh | MD5 checksums are available from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/Release | 13:11 |

| blehbleh | is it me missing something (or goind mad), or can someone confirm the issue ? | 13:14 |
| bobdobbs | hey guys. I'm running 12.04 with two monitors from a single nvidia video card. I'm running two x displays, but the background of the rightmost monitor is stark white and seemingly impossible to change | 13:15 |
| bobdobbs | On the rightmost display, if I try to change the background image or color using a gnome display setting, it sets the leftmost monitor instead | 13:16 |
| bobdobbs | I think I've borked some x thing up | 13:16 |
| theadmin | blehbleh: If you are getting hash mismatch issues with APT, do sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* and try again. | 13:16 |
| OerHeks | bobdobbs, use the monitor settings on the monitor itself? colour-temp most likely | 13:16 |
| bobdobbs | OerHeks: I'm pretty sure it's ubuntu/gnome. Cos everything is normal on the monitors when I start up ubuntu, right up until the desktop environment loads | 13:17 |
| bobdobbs | OerHeks: this applies to both gnome and kde | 13:17 |
| refj | What is the current status of Ubuntu bug reports in launchpad? Are the developers so overburdened that they have stopped acknowledging bug reports? I ask because no one has looked at bug report I filed 2 months ago. How to escalate a bug report? | 13:17 |
| mgedmin | refj, basically, yes | 13:18 |
| mgedmin | refj, link to the bug? | 13:18 |
| bobdobbs | OerHeks: like, if I log out so that the 'log in' screen shows, both monitors look fine. They both have background images and colours | 13:19 |
| refj | mgedmin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1389754 | 13:19 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1389754 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "net-install for current 14.04 via iPXE on VMWare stalls for 20 minutes" [Undecided,New] | 13:19 |
| mgedmin | bobdobbs, that could maybe be caused by different multi-monitor configurations (lightdm defaults to clone mode, the user session to extended desktop)? | 13:19 |
| bobdobbs | OerHeks: so then I log in. And while whichever desktop env is setting up... during the loading process, the displays to behave normalls | 13:19 |
| bobdobbs | but as soon as they load, the rightmost monitor presents a blank background | 13:20 |
| OerHeks | bobdobbs, 'normal' until the prop. driver kicks in ? | 13:20 |
| ygf | anybody? | 13:20 |
| bobdobbs | possibly. I suspectso | 13:20 |
| bobdobbs | mgedmin: yeah, I suspect that a multi-monitor config has something to do with it | 13:21 |
| ygf | anybody out there? | 13:21 |
| mcphail | OerHeks: the "proper" driver should already be loaded at the lightdm screen, though | 13:21 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | ygf, ask | 13:21 |
| ubottu | ygf, ask: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:21 |
| bobdobbs | mgedmin: so I tried setting up 'twinview' from nvidia-settings... but I cant see the option in the nvidia settings gui! | 13:21 |
| bobdobbs | nvidia-settings does tell me that there are two monitors, each with it's own X display | 13:22 |
| OerHeks | mcphail, that is what i thought so too, i wonder why this occurs | 13:22 |
| erUs | hi | 13:22 |
| daniele_ | hi | 13:22 |
| OerHeks | bobdobbs, check systemsettings > colour, does the monitors both have a profile? | 13:23 |
| bobdobbs | lets see... | 13:23 |
| bobdobbs | I very much suspect they do. checking... | 13:23 |
| OerHeks | bobdobbs, i had to setup them manually after install | 13:23 |
| bobdobbs | uhm, where is systemsettings in the gnome panel menu? | 13:24 |
| OerHeks | bobdobbs, in Unity it is standard on the left panel, dunno about gnome-panel | 13:25 |

| erUs | where can i find wifi connections | 13:26 |

| bobdobbs | OerHeks: I don't think that the panel menu offers access to that setting | 13:29 |
| aboudreault | any idea why my postifx always use the local relay? my domain is in mydestination and relayhost is empty | 13:29 |
| bobdobbs | is there a way to access that setting from the commandline? | 13:29 |
| mgedmin | bobdobbs, run gnome-control-center | 13:30 |
| mgedmin | or wait, was it renamed to unity-control-center recently? | 13:30 |
| * mgedmin uses Ubuntu GNOME | 13:30 | |

| bobdobbs | hmmm... interesting | 13:31 |
| bobdobbs | I can't see a setting for 'colors'. but I see one for 'displays' | 13:32 |
| bobdobbs | and the gnome control center can only detect a single display | 13:32 |
| bobdobbs | which is funny, cos nvidia-settings can see both monitors and both displays | 13:32 |
| bobdobbs | I guess that tells me something, but I'm not sure what | 13:33 |
| mgedmin | the nvidia driver doesn't necessarily use the standard linux apis (xrandr) to expose the information about monitors | 13:33 |
| erte | CAn anyone recomend any free cad programms for ubuntu? :) | 13:34 |
| mgedmin | I wish I could help you debug this, but have no nvidia hardware | 13:34 |
| bobdobbs | should I install the proprietary nvidia driver? would that help? | 13:34 |
| mgedmin | and therefore no familiarity with all the configurable knobs | 13:34 |
| bobdobbs | actually, it probably wouldn't hurt to try. I'll give it a spin. | 13:35 |
| mgedmin | bobdobbs, worth a try! the standard driver supports xrandr just fine but maybe it fails to support, oh, whatever connector your external monitor is on? | 13:35 |
| mgedmin | worst case, you end up with broken X and no gui at all :) | 13:35 |
| bobdobbs | connector? | 13:35 |
| bobdobbs | oh damn! | 13:35 |
| DJones | erte: There may be something on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEngineering that helps | 13:35 |
| bobdobbs | pleeeze! not the bad old days all over again! | 13:35 |
| * mgedmin has no idea | 13:35 | |
| * bobdobbs shudders | 13:35 | |
| erte | thx :) | 13:35 |
| mgedmin | I just heard that 'noveau' is not very reliable yet | 13:36 |
| mgedmin | and the binary driver has its own share of interoperability/debuggability issues | 13:36 |
| bobdobbs | hmmm... | 13:36 |
| === davidfischer is now known as Guest73351 | ||
| refj | mgedmin, who should I contact if I want someone to have a look at my bug report? Do you know? | 13:39 |
| bobdobbs | so, I've been able to describe the symptoms, but I'm not actually sure what the actual issue is | 13:39 |
| mgedmin | refj, I assume you don't have a support contract with canonical? | 13:40 |
| refj | mgedmin, you assumption is correct. :) | 13:40 |
| mgedmin | my gut feeling is that investigating this yourself might be the quickest route | 13:41 |
| mgedmin | of course then you'd have the problem of getting somebody to notice and apply your patch :/ | 13:41 |
| mgedmin | maybe try the upstream, i.e. debian? assuming you can reproduce the issue there, assuming the issue _is_ in debian-installer | 13:41 |
| refj | mgedmin, yes, this is what I've been doing on and off for the last two months. I find it hard to debug the debian-installer, even with DEBUG level 5 enabled. | 13:41 |
| mgedmin | jumping into #ubuntu-devel and linking to the bug, and asking who is familiar with the installer architecture might or might not yield results | 13:42 |
| mgedmin | (devs are currently busy with the upstart -> systemd conversion) | 13:42 |
| refj | mgedmin, thanks, i'll do that later on. Thanks for the advice. | 13:42 |
| mgedmin | posting your findings on the bug might attract developers, if they see the bug reporter is technical enough and interested enough to investigate and answer any questions they might have if trying to narrow it down | 13:43 |
| * mgedmin is speculating, not being a ubuntu dev himself | 13:43 | |
| mgedmin | otoh large amounts of not-necessarily-useful information might make the bug seem less attractive | 13:43 |
| mgedmin | differential analysis might help narrow down the causes perhaps? (e.g. does it only fail in vmware, or also on real hardware?) | 13:44 |
| mgedmin | is it possible to get a debug shell during the automated installation process? poke around and see what processes are running at the time? | 13:45 |
| antimatroid | so i installed 14.04 on my macbook pro 8.1 and use gnome classic, and switched the cmd/ctrl keys using xmodmap so that I can use cmd w/n/t etc., However now I can't get cmd tab (which is really ctrl tab) to switch between open windows. I've tried using ccsw to alter the (static) application switcher settings but it doesn't change anything, even when I disable the bindings for the ubuntu unity plugin (which isn't enabled in ccsw anyway). Any suggestions on | 13:50 |
| antimatroid | i can use ctrl tab (which is really cmd tab) and alt tab to switch between open windows in the same workspace, and ctrl or alt ~ to switch between windows of the same app in the same workspace, i just want those to work with cmd (which is really ctrl) :( | 13:51 |
| zetheroo1 | how do you track which repo source a package is being installed from? | 13:51 |
| mcphail | zetheroo1: apt-cache policy _packagename_ | 13:51 |
| refj | mgedmin, again thanks for the advice. I'll do some additional testing before contacting ubuntu-dev. | 13:52 |
| antimatroid | also interestingly, alt ~ doesn't work for switching between windows with chromium, but does for other applications, I imagine that's just an issue with chromium using multiple processes? | 13:52 |
| XTREME-H | hey guys how to install android sdk on ubuntu??? | 13:52 |

| mcphail | XTREME-H: I seem to remember the Android website having detailed instructions when I last installed it a couple of years ago. Has that changed? | 13:54 |
| rubiksmomo | Anyone know how to script delay in AutoKey? | 13:54 |
| mcphail | antimatroid: not sure about this one but the symptoms suggest some of the keybindings might be hardcoded... :( | 13:55 |
| Pici | rubiksmomo: Their official channe: #ahk, would probably be the best place to ask. | 13:55 |
| rubiksmomo | Thanks :) | 13:56 |
| rubiksmomo | Wait. That's AutoHotKey which doesn't have Linux version? | 13:56 |
| antimatroid | mcphail: i figured there's something else forcing them, i'm not very knowledgeable with linux/ubuntu but if i had to guess it's hard coded into the gnome classic i'm using somehow | 13:56 |
| antimatroid | i know i got it to the point where i liked it previously, just can't remember how :P | 13:57 |
| mcphail | antimatroid: It wouldn't surprise me. But there have been so many layers of keybindings built up over Linux GUIs over the years it is hard to be sure. It can be a bit of a mess | 13:57 |
| antimatroid | mcphail: interestingly though, I can't find any mention online of compiz not working for application switcher stuff, even with people using gnome classic and 14.04 | 14:01 |
| antimatroid | though they're usually just trying to turn it on at all | 14:01 |
| Mike__ | Hi. Somebody knows that, how can I enable the freshest (but outdated) flash player on debian 7 globally in firefox? My problem is that, now i must allow for every site separately to use flash player, and I cannot set the always activate option. | 14:02 |
| zetheroo1 | does anyone know what this wine-compholio package is and why it comes with pipelight!? It's giving me trouble all the time with dependencies ... :P | 14:02 |
| mcphail | Mike__: this isn't a debian support channel. Are you having the same problem with Ubuntu? | 14:02 |
| DJones | Mike__: You're probably better joining and asking #debian about that | 14:03 |
| mcphail | zetheroo1: it is a nasty hack to activate a nasty hack and breaks all the time. If you've been using pipelight for Netflix, it isn't necessary any more. | 14:04 |
| zetheroo1 | mcphail: sounds nasty :D | 14:04 |
| mcphail | zetheroo1: :) | 14:04 |

| Mike__ | DJones: Okay. | 14:05 |
| mcphail | zetheroo1: no. But pipleight isn't needed for Netflix any more (which is why most people used pipelight in the first place) | 14:05 |

| bynarie | actually ill do it now.. hold on | 14:16 |
| bynarie | and thanks | 14:16 |
| phaidros | bynarie: even in case you do not find anything, you could just restart the display manager (/etc/init.d/lightdm restart, or gdm/kdm/xdm, whatever you have installed) | 14:17 |
| bynarie | phaidros, i just did it and the entrie system locks/crashes... cant even access console with ctl alt f1 f2 f3 | 14:18 |

| phaidros | bynarie: sadly, I am not good in reading those dumps .. :/ | 14:22 |
| bynarie | oh ok.. me either | 14:22 |
| bynarie | it does sound like its a problem with resume/suspend in the kernel | 14:22 |
| bynarie | thats all i can interpret | 14:22 |
| bynarie | thanks anywho for tryin tho phaidros | 14:23 |
| phaidros | yeah, all I see seems to relate to pm scripts | 14:23 |
| mcphail | bynarie: resume/suspend remains flaky for some people. What kernel are you using? What graphics drivers? | 14:24 |

| kalib | Guys, I want to install ubuntu on a flash usb disk. Just to have a bootable usb system. My question is, 4GB will be enough for it? | 14:27 |
| mcphail | bynarie: There were some suspend/resume improvements in the changelog for 3.17 or 3.18 iirc. You could try a Mainline kernel but you might run into a few problems with your nvidia drivers | 14:27 |
| mcphail | !Mainline | bynarie | 14:27 |
| ubottu | bynarie: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 14:28 |
| bynarie | mcphail, thanks.. i have already tried 3.17 but then like u said, cant get the nvidia drivers to work | 14:28 |
| rubiksmomo | How do I setup global hotkey to execute bash script? | 14:29 |
| mcphail | bynarie: usually a simple "apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-3.." will get the drivers working again. it is a pain to have to do it after every kernel change | 14:29 |

| bynarie | mcphail, as far as upgrading the kernel, should i just download the 3 debs and dpkg -i install them, or is there a more preferred way? | 14:31 |
| mcphail | bynarie: That is the preferred way. I compile my own but I'm a bit of a masochist | 14:31 |
| bynarie | ok greaty | 14:31 |
| bynarie | thanks for the help | 14:31 |
| mcphail | bynarie: just remeber you'll need to manually upgrade the kernel in the same way whenever vulnerabilities are patched | 14:32 |

| optikfluffel | Hey there, I just have a short question. I found the command 'apt-get -q -q .....' in a script and wondered if that's only a little error they made or if this actually does something if you tell apt-get to be quiet two times. | 15:07 |
| Hedgework | Guest22556: One of the first things you might learn about IRC is that it's considered most polite to just drop into a support channel and ask a specific technical question. Checking who's awake, asking for people to tell you if they have expertise in an area, etc. doesn't make it easier to support you and is seen by the old-fashioned IRCers as a waste of their time. | 15:08 |

| ubottu | Guest22556, in other words ...: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:08 |

| GunArm | any apple-ey humans know if I can use DDRescue to clone a mac OSX hard drive? | 15:53 |
| cfhowlett | GunArm, dd doesn't care about the OS it copies | 15:53 |
| Ramchandra-Apte | realtek was working well on my previous systems | 15:53 |
| Ramchandra-Apte | GunArm: Yes. | 15:53 |
| GunArm | cfhowlett: i've never used dd for cloning OS's though some I'm not sure about the nuances, don't you also have to copy the MBR seperatly somehow? | 15:54 |
| cfhowlett | !clone | GunArm, why not clone? | 15:54 |
| ubottu | GunArm, why not clone?: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 15:54 |
| Ramchandra-Apte | the MBR is contained in the disk | 15:54 |
| cfhowlett | GunArm, wait ... clonezilla | 15:54 |
| Ramchandra-Apte | Yes, clonezilla makes sense. DDrescue is only for bad sectors and hard drive problems. | 15:55 |
| GunArm | thats what i've used ddrescue for in the past, backing up raid array elements, but it seemed like it would work well for other things. but clonezilla looks interesting | 15:56 |
| OerHeks | Kento_, probably wireless N is the issue, trottle back to wireless B/G | 15:56 |
| GunArm | is clonezilla in the repos or will I need to boot live media? | 15:57 |
| GunArm | (I'm not at home to TIAS) | 15:57 |
| GunArm | and clonezilla will deal with the MBR and everything? | 15:57 |
| cfhowlett | !info clonezilla | GunArm | 15:57 |
| ubottu | GunArm: clonezilla (source: clonezilla): bare metal backup and recovery of disk drives. In component universe, is extra. Version 3.10.11-1 (utopic), package size 678 kB, installed size 2624 kB | 15:57 |
| cfhowlett | GunArm, as I understand it yes ... read the wiki though | 15:58 |
| Ramchandra-Apte | GunArm: for full-disk cloning I wouldn't suggest copying the mbr and everything directly | 15:58 |

| GunArm | for the record what I'm trying to do is upgrade the storage in my gf's macbook, so I just wanted to clone her drive onto a bigger drive and put that in | 16:09 |
| Hedgework | Gnurdux: Because if the two disks are even slightly different sizes and you clone via dd or similar, you can give it a broken partition table which looks like it works until such time as you suddenly lose data. | 16:09 |
| ApplesInArrays | I'm getting 100% of /dev/simfs in use. How would I go about resizing? | 16:09 |
| GunArm | Hedgework: so what's the best way to do what I'm trying to do then? | 16:09 |
| tomodachi | Hedgework: thats not entierly true | 16:10 |
| GunArm | generally? i can research the specifics | 16:10 |
| Hedgework | tomodachi: it's not ALWAYS true, but it's sometimes true, and I prefer methods where that is never true. | 16:10 |
| tomodachi | GunArm: if your destination disk is bigger than the source disk dd will work fine | 16:10 |
| tomodachi | Hedgework: read above | 16:10 |
| tomodachi | then afterwards you can resize partitions with your tool of choice to fill in the blank space | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | Hedgework, a partitoner like gparted can set/fix the partition within the check option | 16:10 |
| tomodachi | GunArm: i did this on a macbook that had win , linux and osx successfully | 16:11 |
| Hedgework | BluesKaj, tomodachi: that does work in theory...haven't tried it in years as I'd written it off as "too flakey to trust"...if you've done it more recently I'll defer to your more up-to-date knowledge. | 16:11 |
| * Hedgework resizes lvs, but tries not to resize partitions. | 16:11 | |
| erichf | Hello, I have a question: I am trying to install intellij to /opt/ but I have to sudo everything -- and then chown everything to my user -- is there a better way to install things? | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | Hedgework, it worked for me just a few months ago | 16:12 |
| erichf | I'm the only user, I guess I could install to my home directory | 16:12 |
| erichf | I'll probably do that | 16:12 |
| erichf | Next Question: should my home directory follow FHS? | 16:13 |
| KoboldMcGee | Hey I cannot find my Update-manager I typed it into the dash and not even my terminal knows what I'm talking about | 16:13 |
| Hedgework | erichf: you can install to your homedir if you prefer, though I don't understand why "sudo -s; <install things>; chmod -R 755 </opt/stuff>" is burdensome. | 16:13 |
| GunArm | tomodachi: so I can just put in her old drive (say it mounts to /dev/sdg) and the new drive (/dev/sdh), I should be able to # ddrescue /dev/sdg /dev/sdh and it willcopy the main partition and the MBR, and then use GParted to expand the partition to the rest of the drive? | 16:13 |
| Hedgework | KoboldMcGee: are you trying to do it as a regular user? | 16:13 |
| KoboldMcGee | Nope I'm an admin | 16:14 |
| erichf | Hedgework: its not, I just don't know what the standard is | 16:14 |
| erichf | I like your suggesetion though | 16:14 |
| Sh3r1ff | GunArm: affirmative | 16:14 |
| tomodachi | GunArm: mounting is pointless | 16:14 |
| GunArm | sorry I didn't mean mount it | 16:14 |
| GunArm | just it registerrs as that device for example | 16:14 |
| tomodachi | GunArm: yup as long as the destination is smaller dd will work fine | 16:15 |
| tomodachi | I guarantee it | 16:15 |
| tomodachi | just dd the entire device | 16:15 |
| GunArm | destination is larger you mean | 16:15 |
| KoboldMcGee | I'm using a practically fresh install of unity on my chromebook | 16:15 |
| Sh3r1ff | GunArm: just make sure you are dd'ing from full to empty, they call dd the disc destroyer for a reason ;) | 16:15 |
| tomodachi | yes larger | 16:15 |
| tomodachi | dst = larger | 16:15 |
| GunArm | right | 16:15 |
| GunArm | Sh3r1ff: hehe | 16:15 |

| ssequeira | mgedmin: okay, so I have 2 factor authentication on gmail, and evolution is refusing to sync. | 16:17 |
| GunArm | so the possible errors Hedgework were talking about, would have been to do with the file system pointing to disk sectors that didn't exist on a smaller hard drive? | 16:17 |
| mgedmin | ssequeira, there's also #evolution on irc.gnome.org (https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC) | 16:17 |
| mgedmin | if you don't get an answer here, you may want to try there | 16:17 |
| erichf | Hedgework: why use sudo -s instead of sudo su? I have never seen sudo -s before. | 16:17 |
| erichf | s, --shell | 16:17 |
| erichf | Run the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell specified by the invoking user's password database entry. If a command is specified, it is passed | 16:17 |
| erichf | to the shell for execution via the shell's -c option. If no command is specified, an interactive shell is executed. | 16:17 |
| * mgedmin doesn't use evolution nor 2 factor auth :/ | 16:17 | |
| mgedmin | erichf, because why use two programs when one is sufficient? | 16:18 |
| mgedmin | sudo su always seemed weird to me | 16:18 |
| Hedgework | erichf: "sudo -s" is slightly cleaner than "sudo su" (as you are using one privilege-escalating utility instead of two), and thus is my preference only out of sheer OCD-curmudgeonliness. | 16:18 |
| erichf | mgedmin -- the two programs being sudo AND su ? -- I'm guessing if no user is specified to sudo, root is chosen? | 16:19 |
| ssequeira | I have 2 factor authentication enabled with gmail and evolution keeps rejecting my password for some reason. | 16:19 |
| erichf | specified to su* | 16:19 |
| Hedgework | erichf: correct | 16:19 |
| erichf | ok | 16:19 |
| erichf | did not know that | 16:19 |
| erichf | thank you | 16:19 |
| ssequeira | I don't know if that's how it works, or if there's something wrong with it. | 16:19 |
| mgedmin | there's also sudo -i | 16:19 |
| mgedmin | one of them just runs a root shell, the other also changes environment bits to simulate a login session | 16:20 |
| mgedmin | so $HOME changes etc. | 16:20 |
| erichf | sudo -i seems pretty neat | 16:20 |
| chrisss123456 | hey all, anyone know how to use xmodmap? I'd like to use the alt-gr key on my laptop, but the computer doesnt seem to recognize it, and I was told to use xmodmap. Anyone? | 16:20 |
| erichf | sudo -s seems to be keeping everything in my personal users dotfiles, which i prefer | 16:21 |
| erichf | my root user has no bash customization | 16:21 |
| chrisss123456 | no one know how to use xmodmap? | 16:23 |
| compdoc | sudo -i is what I use. just make sure you dont change ownership of files in your home directory | 16:24 |
| Hedgework | chrisss123456: on ubuntu, there are keymaps that enable alt-gr for you, so consider switching to them. That said, xmodmap has pretty good docs :) | 16:24 |

| theadmin | RoBo_V: Generally, command1 & command2 runs command1 and command2 at the same time | 16:49 |

| RamchandraApte | RoBo_V: Yup. | 16:50 |
| RamchandraApte | If the previous command succeeds. | 16:50 |

| weeirc8089 | nomic: nope, the compiled apps are different in size for x86 vs x64 architecture... they are | 17:50 |
| weeirc8089 | nomic: nope, the compiled apps are different in size for x86 vs x64 architecture... they are, honest | 17:50 |
| nomic | yes but the amount of space on the disk | 17:50 |
| nomic | is the same | 17:50 |
| nomic | always | 17:50 |
| weeirc8089 | nomic: nope, 64 bit instructions in binary code are somewhat longer in bytes per instruction | 17:51 |
| jamie_ | can someone help me with diagnosing a problem with thunderbird | 17:51 |
| weeirc8089 | nevermind | 17:51 |
| jamie_ | I know it is a mozillas software.... funnily enough considering i work for them.... but there is no one really in tb qa over there | 17:53 |
| hydrajump | is it possible to restart any of the default indicators without restarting lightdm? | 17:54 |
| hydrajump | for instance the ug-accessibility is it possible to refresh/reload that indicator? | 17:54 |
| squinty | jamie: irc.mozilla.org #thunderbird (offical channel) | 17:55 |

| jamie_ | wow... I guess the one listed for us is wrong then | 17:56 |
| MACscr | anyone running their own private or even public deb repo? can it be done so that its not arch or version specific? i think so, but havent figured it out | 17:56 |
| nokiomanz | Hi all, I have a a small ubuntu server with a few service such as apache installed. as time goes by the server as less and less memory avaiable until none is free. Anything I can use to see is there is a memory leak somewhere ?! | 17:57 |
| quackgyver | I just bought an Intel NUC computer and installed Ubuntu on it, but after rebooting it says it can't find any OS | 17:58 |
| quackgyver | I've tried both enabling and disabling UEFI | 17:58 |
| daftykins | nokiomanz: default apache config spawns too many workers, try tweaking it | 17:58 |
| OerHeks | MACscr, if you publisch on launchpad, you will serve 32/64 bit automaticly | 17:58 |
| quackgyver | Anyone know what could be wrong? | 17:58 |
| daftykins | nokiomanz: however also bear in mind www.linuxatemyram.com if you're newish to Linux admin | 17:59 |
| compdoc | quackgyver, need to set storage to legacy in the bios | 17:59 |
| quackgyver | compdoc: It's already set to legacy | 17:59 |
| Lee- | quackgyver, did you try disabling secure boot? | 17:59 |
| MACscr | Ornacia: i honestly just need it for internal use. Want to use it for check_mk agent packages | 17:59 |
| nokiomanz | daftykins: Thanks for the second link. That I am aware of. When i say a small server i mean small as in to test stuff up. I have 32gig ram in it :p | 17:59 |
| compdoc | quackgyver, what did you boot from to install? | 18:00 |
| quackgyver | compdoc: UEFI + Legacy | 18:00 |
| quackgyver | Lee-: I don't know what that is :o | 18:00 |
| daftykins | nokiomanz: what does top show as the top processes consuming RAM? | 18:00 |
| compdoc | quackgyver, I mean did you boot from a usb stick, or what? | 18:01 |
| quackgyver | compdoc: Yeah, I installed from USB. | 18:01 |
| compdoc | quackgyver, at the end, grub might have been installed on your usb stick. theres a point when it asks to install grub, and you need to stop and be sure to install to the OS drive | 18:02 |
| nokiomanz | daftykins: when i run a top and sort by memory usage. I have about 10-15 httpd each using 0.2-0.3% memory. memcached is using 3% and then we have all the 0.0% | 18:03 |
| daftykins | nokiomanz: is this really ubuntu server? because it's not called httpd under ubuntu | 18:03 |
| daftykins | nokiomanz: can you pastebin a 'free -m' ? | 18:03 |
| quackgyver | compdoc: You mean using the boot disk creator thingy? | 18:04 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: no the ubuntu install | 18:04 |
| compdoc | during the install, it asks if you want to install grub. its near the end | 18:04 |
| daftykins | nah it's on the partitioner stage | 18:06 |
| quackgyver | huh | 18:06 |
| quackgyver | ok | 18:06 |
| quackgyver | and i should cancel that? | 18:06 |
| quackgyver | why is that, out of curiosity? | 18:06 |
| compdoc | not during the partitioner stage | 18:07 |
| daftykins | it is on manual | 18:07 |
| nokiomanz | daftykins: I normaly manage centos system so im used to say httpd :p http://pastebin.com/Vt9e0E4a | 18:09 |
| quackgyver | Hm | 18:10 |
| quackgyver | I'm not sure what to do | 18:10 |
| quackgyver | should I install it from USB again? | 18:10 |
| quackgyver | with UEFI turned off and Legacy turned on? | 18:10 |
| daftykins | yes, selecting manual partitioning. then compare the drive letters with what disks "sudo parted -l" reports | 18:11 |
| quackgyver | ok | 18:11 |
| daftykins | i don't see any reason for the EFI vs legacy choice, maybe look up your exact model NUC and look for quirks | 18:12 |
| daftykins | make sure you have an up to date 'BIOS' too. | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | daftykins: well i can check UEFI and check Legacy | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | originally both were checked | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | under boot order | 18:12 |
| daftykins | yeah so your flash drive will boot in a mode relevant to one of those | 18:12 |
| daftykins | !efi | 18:12 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 18:12 |
| daftykins | you can see the difference there | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | ugh this is too confusing | 18:12 |
| daftykins | go buy Windows then :) | 18:13 |
| quackgyver | Already have it. Figured I'd give Ubuntu a shot. | 18:13 |
| quackgyver | Didn't expect this though. | 18:13 |
| Lee- | idk about those intel NUC machines, but I use Ubuntu on my laptop with UEFI and secure boot just fine | 18:13 |
| quackgyver | Should I enable or disable the "Internal UEFI Shell"? | 18:14 |
| quackgyver | Weird, now it can't find the USB stick | 18:15 |
| daftykins | that option bears no relevance | 18:15 |
| daftykins | so power off and back on :) | 18:15 |
| daftykins | use your head! | 18:15 |
| quackgyver | I've already rebooted many times | 18:16 |
| everald | I'm looking for a CD ripper that can also play CDs. RipperX seems to have some play buttons for every song but it doesn't play. How comes, alternatives? | 18:16 |
| daftykins | what of power off and on = reboot? | 18:16 |
| quackgyver | What? | 18:17 |
| daftykins | i'm saying they're not the same thing :) | 18:17 |
| daftykins | this NUC got USB 2 and 3 or just 3? | 18:17 |
| quackgyver | Oh. Well yeah, I've tried soft reboots as well as shutting it off and on again. | 18:17 |
| Lee- | Ubuntu is defaulting the autosuspend_delay_ms on my USB mouse to 2 seconds, which basically means my mouse goes to sleep after 2 seconds of inactivity. I'm trying to write a udev rule to change this when I connect my mouse, but I'm not having luck. It's as though the rule isn't triggering or my action isn't correct. Can someone point out what I should change? ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1532", ATTR{power/autosuspend_delay_ms}="600000" | 18:18 |
| quackgyver | USB 3.0 | 18:18 |
| quackgyver | It's got one "USB 2.0 (internal header)" whatever that is | 18:18 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: only? can you respond in full sentences so i don't have to keep digging to get an answer? :) | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | Yes, USB 3.0 except for one instance of "USB 2.0 (internal header)" | 18:19 |
| daftykins | and is there a newer BIOS available? | 18:20 |
| quackgyver | I don't know. | 18:20 |
| quackgyver | When I choose "Update BIOS" I only get to choose "Partition 1" which then takes me to a sub-menu with "EFI" which then takes me to a sub-menu with "<ubuntu>" | 18:21 |
| quackgyver | and <ubuntu> in turn contains nothing | 18:21 |
| quackgyver | i guess there are some bios updates | 18:22 |
| quackgyver | maybe ill try updating it | 18:22 |
| quackgyver | i have version "0021" | 18:23 |
| quackgyver | and according to this https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=&ProductID=3744&ProdId=3744 | 18:23 |
| quackgyver | theres a version 0033 | 18:23 |
| BlackVenom | Evening folks | 18:24 |
| === Guest28985 is now known as jimmy51v_ | ||
| kazazi | Hi, i was trying to install from ubuntu repository ( with "sudo apt-get install nova-api ..." command), in the middle of installation, the hole os restarted by accident.. now i cannot resume installation and it gives me these kind of errors : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9757222/ (Ubuntu 14.04) | 18:27 |
| BlackVenom | I currently have Ubuntu Server installed, is it easy to change the install to the Desktop edition or will this cause me issues | 18:27 |
| daftykins | BlackVenom: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ | 18:27 |
| goldstar | am using setterm -back to set the background color for my terminal. When I resize the window the color is not updated and as a consequence half the page is the prior color. Are their any workarounds for this issue ? | 18:27 |
| BlackVenom | Hey daftykins. I found that too when i did a google search | 18:28 |
| BlackVenom | just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't fook up my install | 18:28 |
| BlackVenom | or find out it would only do a half ass job lol | 18:28 |
| quackgyver | Hm. Updating to a later version of the BIOS messed up the graphics | 18:29 |
| quackgyver | nice | 18:29 |
| daftykins | BlackVenom: how come you started with server? | 18:29 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: what graphics? ubuntu live session? | 18:29 |
| BlackVenom | Because I wanted to tinker with the CLi and force myself to do the whole install and config etc via the CLI | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | daftykins: Just the terminal + bios | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | the bios screen became tiny and the commandline got scaled up and blurry | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | oh wow | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | it finally decided to boot into ubuntu | 18:30 |
| daftykins | :P | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | then again it seems to be loading from my usb stick | 18:30 |
| quackgyver | so who knows | 18:30 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: load EFI defaults and power cycle | 18:31 |
| quackgyver | what does loading power cycle mean | 18:31 |
| quackgyver | in practice | 18:31 |
| quackgyver | wow | 18:31 |
| daftykins | 'loading power cycle' ? | 18:31 |
| BlackVenom | One last thing daftykins, is it safe to run the command via ssh or should I hook my box upto a monitor | 18:32 |
| bubbasaures | BlackVenom, Be aware this is a world wide channel how you speak and the words you use have to be clean, this is not twitter | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | it seems to have taken me to the usb installer | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | weird | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | daftykins: you said to load efi defaults and power cycle | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | idk what that means | 18:32 |
| daftykins | BlackVenom: you're not gonna get a GUI without a desktop | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | ill try installing ubuntu again | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | now that it can finally sense the usb again | 18:32 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: *sigh* - enter BIOS (the EFI setup) load the defaults, save and exit. then turn off, pull mains, plug back in and turn on | 18:32 |
| quackgyver | Alright | 18:33 |
| BlackVenom | sorry bubbasaures I meant it as tongue in cheek comment | 18:33 |
| daftykins | BlackVenom: you're not gonna get a GUI without a *display | 18:33 |
| BlackVenom | LOL I know this daftykins :-D I meant am I ok running the install desktop command from the SSH | 18:34 |
| daftykins | well it might invoke a lightdm start to start X, in which case having no display, you're gonna have a bad time | 18:34 |
| daftykins | i don't think so, but you're going to need one connected afterwards anyway | 18:34 |
| BlackVenom | AH right OK | 18:34 |
| BlackVenom | I wanted to be lazy and hunt out the cable tomorrow haha | 18:35 |
| BlackVenom | looks like I'll have to do it now | 18:35 |
| az_ | hi | 18:35 |
| az_ | i have ecryptfs, how can i backup my private key to decrypt it? | 18:35 |
| quackgyver | daftykins: Loading defaults made it boot into Ubuntu | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | holy shit this is confusing | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | o_o | 18:36 |
| daftykins | !language | 18:36 |
| ubottu | The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | but thanks for helping me | 18:36 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: the actual install this time? | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | no like | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | the real ubuntu | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | that i originally installed | 18:36 |
| daftykins | yes, the install. | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | the first time around | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | yeah | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | the actual install | 18:36 |
| quackgyver | Thanks a lot for the help. | 18:37 |
| amigo99 | On the [heap] section of /proc/id/smaps, size is 200MB but the rest is 0 kb. anyone know what this means? Usually the size is close the sum of "Private" and "Shared" http://pastie.org/pastes/9833858/text | 18:37 |
| quackgyver | Would've had to come to work having to do this tomorrow if you hadn't helped me out. :3 | 18:37 |
| daftykins | quackgyver: these EFI based systems are often buggy as hell, keeping them up to date makes OS installs a lot more predictable. | 18:37 |
| quackgyver | daftykins: Yeah, apparently so | 18:38 |
| quackgyver | :3 | 18:38 |
| TeddyMurray | how would i make a backup iso of my server to copy to a virtual machine on my local? | 18:38 |
| TeddyMurray | i dont have physical access to the ubuntu server | 18:38 |
| az_ | i have ecryptfs, how can i backup my private key to decrypt it? | 18:40 |
| arshia | how to format a USB in ubuntu ? | 18:40 |
| daftykins | arshia: run gparted or disks | 18:40 |
| daftykins | TeddyMurray: consult your virtualisation technology of choices' documentation. ISO is not appropriate | 18:40 |
| daftykins | !ecrypt | 18:40 |
| daftykins | !ecryptfs | 18:40 |
| daftykins | !encryption | 18:40 |
| ubottu | For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 18:40 |
| arshia | i didn't got it ? | 18:40 |
| bubbasaures | TeddyMurray, ISO not likely, used to be a 3rd party remastersys, if you can boot an iso with it's grub you could image it. | 18:40 |
| TeddyMurray | thanks daftykins | 18:40 |
| daftykins | arshia: what? | 18:40 |
| navetz | does anyone know how I could get a list of lets say the last 100 modified files, recursively from my home directory? | 18:41 |
| arshia | i didn't got what you said. | 18:41 |
| TeddyMurray | cool thanks bubbasaures | 18:41 |
| daftykins | arshia: run the programs gparted, or disks. | 18:41 |
| bubbasaures | TeddyMurray, Must be more ways, just my limitations is all. | 18:41 |
| arshia | hmmm ... thank you | 18:42 |
| arshia | the format option is disablef | 18:42 |
| arshia | disabled | 18:42 |
| daftykins | maybe you need to make a partition first | 18:42 |
| bubbasaures | or a table | 18:43 |
| arshia | partition of USB ???? | 18:43 |
| bubbasaures | arshia, You're in what OS and what tool as of doing this? | 18:43 |
| bubbasaures | now doing this* | 18:43 |
| arshia | ubuntu | 18:43 |
| arshia | i want to format a usb | 18:44 |
| daftykins | yes, flash drives have partitions too. | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: yes USB sticks have partitions, this is normal | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: delete the partition table on the USB and then create new. Be SURE you are messing with the right device | 18:45 |
| bubbasaures | right device is probably the issue | 18:45 |
| arshia | i'm in Disks app , but there is no option for delete the partition | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: have you told gparted to manipulat the USB device? | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: under the 'Gparted' menu...? | 18:47 |
| kryptonradon | how do I run a program when I log into an X session? | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: http://kanotix.com/files/fix/manual/images/gparted-1-main-1a-en.png | 18:48 |
| bubbasaures | ActionParsnip, He is using the disks app is all | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | bubbasaures: same thing | 18:48 |
| ActionParsnip | kryptonradon: use the startup item ni dash | 18:48 |
| daftykins | no, they're not even vaguely comparable | 18:48 |
| bubbasaures | I know but we obviously have to be aware here. | 18:48 |
| kryptonradon | thanks ActionParsnip , is that in the config editor? | 18:49 |
| ActionParsnip | kryptonradon: just searfch the dash for "startup" | 18:49 |
| arshia | what is that ? | 18:49 |
| arshia | this is not ubuntu. is it ? | 18:49 |
| bubbasaures | bingo | 18:49 |
| daftykins | arshia: the clue is in the URL - 'gparted...png' that is a screenshot of the other program i recommended. | 18:49 |
| daftykins | it's a bit easier than 'disks' maybe | 18:50 |
| arshia | daftykins: What is that OS ???! This is not ubuntu | 18:50 |
| bubbasaures | arshia, OS=operating system is this ubuntu you're using? | 18:51 |
| === biledemon is now known as mgkfgyk | ||
| arshia | yes. ubuntu 14.04 i belive. | 18:51 |
| bubbasaures | arshia, We thought your were, just confirming so I knew the tools you had. | 18:52 |
| bubbasaures | you have great help carry on. | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: run: sudo apt-get install gparted then use gparted from Dash | 18:52 |
| daftykins | arshia: it's a picture of the same program running either via a different desktop or on another Linux distribution. it's wearing different clothes but it's the same thing. | 18:52 |
| arshia | OK, I'll try it | 18:53 |
| arshia | ActionParsnip: What next ?? | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: is gparted installed? | 18:56 |
| arshia | Yes | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: ok, launch it from the Dash | 18:57 |
| arshia | I did | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: ok and then use the menu like in the screenshot I gave to point gparted to the USB disk | 18:57 |
| arshia | Ok ... just a minute | 18:57 |
| squinty | arshia: fwiw, hover your mouse over the "-" which is located besides the small cog icon for "partition delete" in Disks :) | 18:58 |
| daftykins | ugh don't confuse the user now. | 18:59 |
| arshia | squinty: Unable ... | 18:59 |
| squinty | daftykins: then maybe you should familiarize yourself with Disks first then. | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: are you now manipulating the USB device? | 19:00 |
| az_ | i have ecryptfs, how can i backup my private key to decrypt it? | 19:00 |
| arshia | Yes | 19:00 |
| daftykins | squinty: i can only take that as rude given i suggested disks and gparted. | 19:00 |
| arshia | ActionParsnip: I want to format it | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: ok, click Partition -> new partition table | 19:00 |
| squinty | arshia: probably mounted. just use gparted. my comment was a pointer to future reference no meant as an alternative to the current advice you are receiving | 19:00 |
| daftykins | and just served to confuse. | 19:01 |
| squinty | daftykins: take it anyway you want. please stop now | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: oh sorry, Device -> create new partition table | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: I'm doing this off sc reenshots online and memory | 19:01 |
| arshia | ActionParsnip: then ??? | 19:02 |
| daftykins | squinty: i'm familiar with disks :) i just can't explain it without looking at it. come now, we're just looking after the best interests of a user asking for assistance, i'm not looking to receive attitude | 19:02 |
| squinty | daftykins: you are on ignore. quite sick of your attitude quite honestly | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: this will remove the partition table and leave unpartitioned space. You can then right click i the free space and make a partition as you need. I suggest a linux file system like Ext4. It won't nbe very usable in Windows though | 19:02 |
| daftykins | wat | 19:02 |
| arshia | ActionParsnip: this is an error : | 19:02 |
| arshia | A new partition table cannot be created when there are active partitions. Active partitions are those that are in use, such as a mounted file system, or enabled swap space. | 19:02 |
| arshia | Use Partition menu options, such as unmount or swapoff, to deactivate all partitions on this device before creating a new partition table. | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | arshia: if you want to use it in Windows, use Windows and format it to NTFS | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | I gotta jet | 19:03 |
| arshia | No , i want to use it on both windows & Ubuntu | 19:03 |
| cyber | hi | 19:05 |
| daftykins | arshia: exFAT or NTFS are still the better choices | 19:05 |
| arshia | ActionParsnip: I want to use the usb in both | 19:05 |
| arshia | you mean that i change the type from FAT32 to NTFS ? | 19:06 |
| daftykins | not FAT32 no, exFAT | 19:06 |
| arshia | the type of usb is FAT32 . you mean i should change it to | 19:07 |
| arshia | NTFS or exFAT ?? | 19:07 |
| daftykins | FAT32 is fine if you will never have a file bigger than 4GB | 19:07 |
| arshia | daftykins: You mean i should change it ? | 19:08 |
| === biledemon is now known as mgkfgyk | ||
| daftykins | do whatever you want | 19:08 |
| daftykins | just pick one | 19:08 |
| arshia | daftykins: What should i do now ??? | 19:09 |
| daftykins | i just told you | 19:09 |
| daftykins | what's the problem exactly? | 19:09 |
| bubbasaures | picture is a 1000 words | 19:10 |
| arshia | daftykins: I said i want to FORMAT a USB device in ubuntu 14 | 19:10 |
| daftykins | arshia: yes i know that, i'm not asking you to start from the beginning - i'm asking what the immediate issue is | 19:10 |
| daftykins | oy vey | 19:11 |
| arshia | daftykins: I cannot create a partition table for the USB. | 19:12 |
| arshia | daftykins: The following lines are error massage : | 19:13 |
| arshia | A new partition table cannot be created when there are active partitions. Active partitions are those that are in use, such as a mounted file system, or enabled swap space. | 19:13 |
| arshia | Use Partition menu options, such as unmount or swapoff, to deactivate all partitions on this device before creating a new partition table. | 19:13 |
| EriC^^ | *cookie cereal* | 19:14 |
| daftykins | arshia: yeah it means the drive is likely mounted. open the file manager program nautilus and click the eject button beside the flash drive | 19:14 |
| bubbasaures | mmmm | 19:14 |
| daftykins | EriC^^: that sounds amazing | 19:14 |

| arshia | How to open .xz files ? what software will help me ?? | 19:20 |
| BlackVenom | What does "no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory" mean | 19:20 |
| EriC^^ | arshia: xz | 19:21 |
| mindphuck | when will the "booting in insecure mode" delay get fixed does anyone know? | 19:21 |
| arshia | EriC^^: What ??/ | 19:21 |
| EriC^^ | arshia: the software is called xz, type man xz | 19:21 |
| theadmin | arshia: The program to open .xz files is called xz. | 19:21 |
| rww | and the package containing xz is named xz-utils | 19:22 |
| arshia | Got it | 19:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (In a similar vein the program to open tarballs is called tar) | 19:22 |
| arshia | theadmin: For download it , can i type sudo apt-get install xz ?? | 19:23 |
| squinty | BlackVenom: http://askubuntu.com/questions/477002/loadparm-c4864-leaking-memory fixed it for me | 19:23 |
| theadmin | arshia: sudo apt-get install xz-utils. | 19:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | arshia, if the file you are attempting to open ends in *.tar.xz, use the command "tar -xXf file.tar.xz" (replacing the file.tar.xz with the file you are trying to open) | 19:23 |
| rww | I note that just tar -xf works fine | 19:23 |
| pragmaticenigma | rww, because it's xz, they may need to specify the compression type | 19:24 |
| rww | (and -X isn't actually the flag for .xz, it's -J, but it's unnecessary anyway) | 19:24 |
| rww | pragmaticenigma: nope, GNU tar autodetects | 19:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | oops | 19:24 |
| pragmaticenigma | rww, Mine never seems to autodetect for some reason | 19:24 |
| rww | odd. mine always has. | 19:24 |
| * rww shrugs | 19:25 | |
| theadmin | pragmaticenigma: You must be on a verrry old system, or maybe the file extension matters? | 19:25 |
| arshia | theadmin: It's already installed. | 19:25 |
| mindphuck | when will the "booting in insecure mode" delay get fixed does anyone know? | 19:25 |
| theadmin | arshia: Well, then use it. You should be able to double-click any xz file and it will open in the Ubuntu's archive manager | 19:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | I'm running 14.04... don't think that's ancient.. might be the fact that I'm running Mythbuntu and it doesn't install all the packages by default | 19:25 |
| arshia | theadmin: will ubuntu support all type of compressed files ?? | 19:26 |
| theadmin | arshia: Most should be supported out of the box, except .rar (you need to install unrar for that) | 19:26 |
| bubbasaures | pragmaticenigma, No one has said anything but derivatives are not supported here. ;) | 19:30 |

| daftykins | lolmaus: at first i thought reserved space, but the default is 5% which wouldn't factor in 15GB on a 1TB volume | 19:44 |
| daftykins | but yes tune2fs to remove | 19:44 |
| mindphuck | ya but i got annoyed by it, ill wait until they fix it in another release, test out some other distros | 19:45 |

| poolson | arrrghhhh im gonna die | 19:51 |
| daftykins | pseudonymous: might be handy to run the 'find' command in the terminal and use it to find files bigger than 100MB across the whole / partition maybe. | 19:52 |
| bubbasaures | pgx13, What did you replace lightdm? | 19:52 |
| trism | poolson: the window controls are in the top left, or you can drag down from the center of the top panel, assuming this is unity | 19:52 |
| poolson | maddening | 19:52 |
| arshia | daftykins: can i use the terminal ? | 19:52 |
| bubbasaures | pgx13, A screenshot would probably help, as you're not sure the cause. | 19:54 |
| daftykins | arshia: yes, software installation is pretty simple. first off update package lists with "sudo apt-get update" then you can search for packages with "apt-cache search <thing to search for>" e.g. "apt-cache search unrar" will show the package names. then simply "sudo apt-get install <package>" | 19:54 |

| undecim | there's also colinux | 20:22 |
| blackmamba | 90 | 20:22 |
| pip__ | thanks chaps | 20:22 |
| pragmaticenigma | what is colinux? | 20:24 |
| undecim | Runs Linux as an App in Windows | 20:25 |
| undecim | kinda like a VM, but the code runs natively | 20:25 |
| undecim | It's not being developed anymore though, so I think to use it, you need an old kernel | 20:25 |
| undecim | A long time ago, I had a dual boot of Archlinux and Windows. Arch had a file server that I didn't want unavailable when I was gaming, so I used colinux and chrooted to my arch install and started the service | 20:26 |
| undecim | As a consequence, I was able to access my Linux files from Windows using Filezilla | 20:27 |
| undecim | Last SF commit on colinux was in 2011 :/ | 20:28 |
| undecim | Correction, last update in 2011. There have been recent commits | 20:29 |
| arshia | What is the best text editor for ubuntu ?? | 20:29 |
| arshia | I tried gvim , but it was not good enough. | 20:29 |
| undecim | arshia, I use geany | 20:29 |
| undecim | arshia, What kind of text are you editing? | 20:30 |
| pbx | arshia, what are you editing? what have you used before? what are your requirements/desires? | 20:30 |
| arshia | undecim: C++ code | 20:30 |
| arshia | pbx: C++ code | 20:30 |
| pbx | arshia, and what does "not good enough" mean? | 20:30 |
| undecim | geany recognizes C/C++ code structures | 20:30 |
| arshia | I should allways hit tab many times after each line. | 20:30 |
| pbx | vim is something of an acquired taste | 20:30 |
| arshia | undecim: Is geany what i want ??? | 20:32 |
| undecim | arshia, only way to know is to try it yourself. | 20:32 |
| undecim | arshia, I suspect it will do what you need | 20:32 |
| arshia | undecim: Ok , lets try it ??? | 20:33 |
| arshia | wait ... | 20:33 |
| undecim | arshia, It's got a lot of config options, so if something minor annoys you, you can probably change it | 20:33 |
| arshia | You SUSPECT ??????????? | 20:33 |
| arshia | Oh, nothing | 20:34 |
| undecim | arshia: Means that I believe the statement is true, but I wouldn't bet money on it | 20:34 |
| terrasapien | but if you plan to use computers for any length of time, bother to learn emacs and then you may use the best text editor in ubuntu | 20:35 |

| daftykins | shadaloo: are you using a terminal program with multiple tabs? | 20:40 |
| f3lix | Anybody knows how to get drives to automount under /media on Ubuntu Server as they do on Desktop? | 20:40 |
| Ayelis | Geany is nice, but a lot of people in my building use Sublime. I've switched over, and it's okay, but painful to run from a terminal unless you make a shell script to disown the process. | 20:40 |
| shadaloo | daftykins: using bash but only 1 tab I know that multiple would switch between tabs | 20:40 |
| Linux-AstaraOS | finally AstaraOS is up , check out http://AstaraOS.us.to or http://us.to , refresh ure dns | 20:40 |

| shadaloo | daftykins: do you have any actual ideas? | 20:41 |
| daftykins | shadaloo: no it's important, as how else do i know the affected terminal emulator? | 20:41 |
| daftykins | ok with that attitude you're on your own. | 20:41 |
| arshia | undecim: Does it support other code types ??? | 20:41 |
| shadaloo | daftykins: you're never actually helpful | 20:42 |
| trism | shadaloo: it's just that in gnome-terminal I seem to remember having to disable Enable menu access keys in Keyboard Shortcuts to make that work | 20:42 |
| shadaloo | daftykins: just spam bot commands | 20:42 |
| Ayelis | There are "other" distros? >_> | 20:42 |

| daftykins | shadaloo: totally untrue, but don't need your judgement here thanks :) | 20:42 |

| OriginDarkside | Wine | 20:44 |
| OriginDarkside | well some exe files | 20:44 |
| weeirc8089 | can I change terminal font for one specific terminal window (among many which are open)? | 20:45 |
| Ayelis | Although now that .NET is opensource... Maybe Wine won't have the monopoly on exes anymore. | 20:45 |
| shadaloo | trism: that works | 20:46 |
| shadaloo | trism: yup | 20:46 |
| theadmin | Ayelis: The .net EXE format is very different from the regular Win32 exe. | 20:46 |
| nahtnam | Hey! | 20:48 |

| shadaloo | alright | 20:54 |
| shadaloo | next question | 20:54 |
| shadaloo | i'd like Super+D to show desktop | 20:54 |
| eggbeater | nahtnam: search for the font name using nautilus, then delete it when you find it. | 20:54 |
| shadaloo | but ubuntu is overriding the command because of the 'hold Super + <number>' program launching | 20:55 |
| moloney | I am having with the grub-install part of installing 14.04. The system is UEFI. I am installing from USB and make sure to boot off the USB in UEFI mode so that the installer knows the system is UEFI (this was suggested by the hardware vendor). I am installing onto a MD RAID1 of two NVMe SSDs. Any suggestions? Just getting a more informative error that "grub-install failed" would be great. | 20:55 |
| eggbeater | shadaloo: go to keyboard settings and set Super-D as the shortcut | 20:55 |
| shadaloo | eggbeater: you missed what I said | 20:55 |
| shadaloo | eggbeater: it is but it doesn't work | 20:55 |
| nahtnam | eggbeater: Doesnt show up. The only instance of roboto is in the downloads folder | 20:55 |
| shadaloo | because ubuntu is overriding it | 20:55 |
| eggbeater | shadaloo: it appears as though i did. sorry, slow connection | 20:56 |

| mc_fail | can i download ubuntu cloud ovf tamplate and run in on vmware player? | 20:56 |
| shadaloo | daftykins: yes | 20:56 |
| shadaloo | daftykins: when you create it a new user it will work for a while shortly | 20:56 |
| shadaloo | but then it too will get overriden by OS | 20:57 |
| gr33n7007h | nahtnam, How did you install it? | 20:57 |
| mc_fail | for example from here http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/14.04/release/ | 20:57 |
| nahtnam | gr33n7007h: I just double clicked it, and pressed install | 20:57 |

| arshia | eggbeater: no. when i try to compile a c++ code from Geany , i see the following error : "/bin/sh: 1: g++: not found " | 21:23 |
| eggbeater | or the original Chromium? | 21:23 |
| eggbeater | arshia: I would suggest searching for it in the Software Center | 21:23 |

| eggbeater | *or Centre, wherever you're from :P | 21:23 |

| NGC3982 | Hi guys. I'm trying to run a one-line command that will send <command> to a local computer with SSH. I thought somewhere in the lines of "command > sshpass -p password ssh -luser 192.168.1.X". Shouldn't this work? | 21:25 |
| daftykins | that's where most browser woes go | 21:25 |
| daftykins | NGC3982: is it not "ssh user@host command" ? | 21:26 |
| andybrine | daftykins testing a clean profile? do you mean create a new profile for chrome or clear my chrome settings? | 21:26 |
| arshia | eggbeater: There was a GNU C compiler witch is already installed (when i searched gcc) , and a GNU Standard C++ Library v3 witch is installed (when i searched g++). no more result | 21:26 |

| zerowaitstate | Knightoffaith: I also recommend a book on OS's if the terms are confusing to you. Silbershatz and Tannenbaum are both good, although Linus might disagree | 22:03 |
| Knightoffaith | I'm not too bad with terms that I've run into so far, but not much working knowledge | 22:04 |

| Knightoffaith | Well, it appears the filesystem I mounted was not my SD card, but my computer's file system. Anyone have idea on why I can't see my SD Card? | 22:13 |
| natosh | I can' launch the update-manager anymore and I cant modify sources in Software&Updates please help | 22:13 |
| daftykins | Knightoffaith: your card reader probably doesn't like Linux, is it an external USB attached thing? | 22:13 |
| Knightoffaith | Yep | 22:13 |
| ikonia | natosh: explain "can't" | 22:13 |
| Knightoffaith | :( | 22:13 |
| daftykins | Knightoffaith: does your system have USB 2 and 3? try switching socket, if the Linux kernel sees a device and card connected, the output of "dmesg | tail" in a terminal will change | 22:14 |
| k1l_ | natosh: what error? | 22:14 |
| Knightoffaith | The little green connection light is on though... Find that a bit strange. | 22:14 |
| Jordan_U | Knightoffaith: Is it listed in the output of "sudo blkid"? (I asked this earlier and never received a response from you) | 22:14 |
| Knightoffaith | Jordan_U I thought it was, but it turned out to my my system | 22:14 |

| Jordan_U | Knightoffaith: What SD card reader are you using? | 22:15 |
| Knightoffaith | daftykins That brings up a very good question. I'm running on a REALLY old machine, and I'm not sure if the port actually accepts the reader (ie only 2.0 ports, but a 3.0 devce). | 22:16 |

| LinkDead | Hey guys, quick question. I am trying to take my windows 7 ISO and burn it onto a usb to reinstall windows on my other laptop. Is there a nice, easy app to do that with on Ubuntu? I tried unetbootin, but that, well, sucks | 22:17 |
| k1l_ | natosh: did you change something on python? what did you do before that happend? | 22:17 |
| LinkDead | I know there was a utility I had on Mint that did it nice and simple, but I cant find it on the ubuntu repositories | 22:18 |
| natosh | k1l_: I did an update and I think I did a big mistae because I added a vivid ppa for a version of a program and I delete it lather in sources.list | 22:18 |
| bubbasaures | LinkDead, That forked windows usb loader is gone, you ahve any friends running windows use the offical tool. | 22:18 |
| daftykins | LinkDead: unetbootin requires some kind of cheat to fake the filesystem before running it i think, there's an answer on an ask page online | 22:18 |
| Super-Nova | hello everyone! | 22:19 |
| daftykins | LinkDead: as a tip though, you could make an EFI capable boot flash drive of 7 by just having an ISO extracted to a FAT partition. the intended system would need to support EFI though | 22:19 |

| k1l_ | natosh: looks like you messed with the system too much. | 22:23 |
| bubbasaures | Guest79929, Are you from the future? | 22:23 |
| daftykins | Guest79929: 11.10? it'd involve far too many steps, a clean install would make more sense. | 22:23 |
| Guest79929 | i mean 12.10 i am sorry | 22:23 |
| daftykins | yeah my response still stands | 22:24 |
| Ben64 | Guest79929: easiest would be to install 14.04 fresh | 22:24 |
| daftykins | backup + clean | 22:24 |
| k1l_ | Guest79929: you need al updates: 12.20 > 13.04 > 13.10 > 14.04 | 22:24 |
| bubbasaures | Guest79929, long slow upgrade days, a fresh install might be in order | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | Knightoffaith: Is this the card reader you're using: http://www.kingston.com/us/flash/readers#fcr-hs3 ? | 22:24 |
| natosh | k1l_: what can I do now? reinstall the system ? any other solution? | 22:24 |
| Guest79929 | ok. thank you . | 22:25 |
| k1l_ | natosh: well, you systems seems to be in a half state to 15.04. but there is no way back to 14.10. fixing that errors would take a lot of time if its fixable anyway. i would consider a reinstall | 22:25 |

| Guest79929 | could i work with this 12.10 without upgrading ? or not ? i am trying to install programms but i couldn't . | 22:30 |
| daftykins | Guest79929: no it's unsupported and EOL | 22:30 |
| k1l_ | !eolupgrade | Guest79929 | 22:30 |
| ubottu | Guest79929: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | Guest79929: 12.10 hasn't had security updates for years, so is very insecure. I wouldn't recommend using it at all, especially if it's connected to the internet. | 22:31 |
| k1l_ | Guest79929: your system got security issues a 10 year old learns in school to pass by. so i recommend you upgrade. and stick in future to LTS ubuntu releases, so you can wait for 5 years next times | 22:31 |

| dm7freek | does ubuntu get updates/new stuff before debian kinda like fedora/RHEL? | 22:37 |
| Jordan_U | Hirsch: What happens if you try to play a webm file in totem? It should ask you to install additional packages if needed. | 22:37 |
| daftykins | dm7freek: debian is ubuntu's upstream | 22:38 |
| Hirsch | Jordan_U: ... which does not exist anymore in the repositories ;) | 22:38 |
| dm7freek | daftykins: yes | 22:38 |

| kingtat | O_OniGiri: Uefi was founded by Microsoft to prevent virus installing at boot level. So an operating system needs a key from Microsoft to use uefi. It's security. | 23:45 |
| O_OniGiri | kingtat: Is that the reason why I didn't get the install to work? | 23:46 |

| daftykins | politely, i would ignore. | 23:46 |
| kingtat | O_OniGiri: that's why some Linux with older kernels don't work on newer machines. The key is in the kernel. | 23:47 |
| O_OniGiri | kingtat: thanks for your input, but I trust daftykins :P The problem is solved anyways. So it's fine | 23:49 |
