[00:00] <bubbasaures> daftykins, We need a strawman argument bot click, that is what goes on here continually. ;)
[00:04] <ApplesInArrays> Ahh, it prompts for password
[00:08] <ApplesInArrays> root@user:/var/www/html# dir shows js.js.
[00:09] <ApplesInArrays> /var/www/html# scp root@IP:/var/www/html/js.js /var/www/html yields scp: /var/www/html/js.js: No such file or directory
[00:12] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, you should rarely use the -P option when using scp/sftp commands, as someone can go through your command history and find your password. The scp/sftp applications will both prompt you for a password when you connect
[00:12] <pragmaticenigma> err
[00:12] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, ignore  what I said earlier
[00:12] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, the -P is for setting the port number to connect to on the remote system
[00:13] <ApplesInArrays> Now I'm just stuck trying to send over a little js file.
[00:13] <ApplesInArrays> I get past the password prompt, but keep getting a "No such file or directory"
[00:13] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, you might find sftp more user friendly than scp
[00:13] <daftykins> given this user is talking of nefarious activities i don't think assisting is a good idea at all
[00:13] <pragmaticenigma> daftykins, what do you mean?
[00:14] <daftykins> read up if you were here
[00:15] <ApplesInArrays> I was asking what's to stop someone.
[00:15] <ApplesInArrays> then I said (7:03:04 PM) ApplesInArrays: Ahh, it prompts for password
[00:15] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, you would need to know their password
[00:15] <nownot> I'm wanting to install mame on my ubuntu 14.10 machine. I have roms for mame 143, so how do I install mame .143 and not the newest amme?
[00:15] <ApplesInArrays> Yes, I have 2 Ubuntu14.04 VMs
[00:15] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, and they'd be foolish to allow root to remotely login
[00:15] <ApplesInArrays> Now I'm just trying to transfer a 1kb js.js file to another server.
[00:15] <ApplesInArrays> pragmaticenigma: agreed!
[00:16] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, Look into sftp... it's a lot easier to use and still uses the ssh connection method.
[00:16] <ApplesInArrays> It's also terminal?
[00:16] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, yes
[00:16] <pragmaticenigma> !sftp
[00:16] <pragmaticenigma> that was unhelpful ubottu
[00:16] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: you are wondering what's stopping someone accessing your drive over the internet. Nothing really.
[00:17] <pragmaticenigma> sftp/scp/ssh and a few others are all part of the same suite of applications to remotely connect and manage systems
[00:17] <ApplesInArrays> You're saying someone can go ahead and read my IP:/etc/?
[00:17] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, only if you haven't configured you system with a password
[00:17] <ApplesInArrays> I'm using Putty to connect to my droplet atm
[00:17] <ApplesInArrays> They all have passwords.
[00:17] <ApplesInArrays> p455word1
[00:17] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: true and false. You need a server running.
[00:18] <ApplesInArrays> and I type that in when it says Permission denied, please try again.root@ForeignIP's password:
[00:18] <ApplesInArrays> I have 2 VMs running. I connect to one through Putty.
[00:18] <ApplesInArrays> I want to see if I can send a js.js file to another
[00:18] <ApplesInArrays> Eventually, I need to migrate this MySQL file since I'm getting "Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/var/lib/php5)"
[00:19] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, your systems (droplets) may not be configured to allow root to remotely access via sftp/ssh/scp
[00:19] <ApplesInArrays> Oh. that's interesting.
[00:19] <ApplesInArrays> Ok, so I'll set up a proper user account for ForeignIP.
[00:19] <ApplesInArrays> I just spun it up, so haven't had time to do that stuff yet
[00:19] <pragmaticenigma> yes
[00:19] <ApplesInArrays> but I'm going to keep the password p455word1
[00:19] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: there are many servers like http ftp ssh nfs
[00:19] <ApplesInArrays> Otherwise I forget
[00:20] <ApplesInArrays> That's interesting. They block SCP for root@IP
[00:20] <ApplesInArrays> I'm learning a bit more day by day about host limitations.
[00:20] <swordsmanz> niceties those are protocols not servers
[00:20] <daftykins> ApplesInArrays: ok well this sounds like DigitalOcean, so this isn't ubuntu out of the box anyway. it's modified
[00:20] <ApplesInArrays> daftykins: How modified?
[00:21] <daftykins> their defaults are not ubuntu defaults
[00:21] <ApplesInArrays> I'll be honest, it's RIJX.com's
[00:21] <daftykins> for example you probably got email'd a root password, root doesn't have a password with ubuntu OOTB
[00:21] <ApplesInArrays> $10/year
[00:21] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, I really hope that isn't your actual password
[00:21] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: first most servers only allow access thru certain ports. And a simple firewall can block those ports to the outside
[00:21] <ApplesInArrays> pragmaticenigma: of course not
[00:22] <ApplesInArrays> Right now I'm using WinSCP to connect to a server one at a time to transfer files. I just figure I should learn this SCP thing.
[00:22] <swordsmanz> niceties server ports are arbetry and can be set on server and client
[00:22] <niceties> swordsmanz: Yes but they need a server.
[00:22] <ApplesInArrays> Alright, so I should (1) create a genuine user account. (2) figure out which ports are open for SCP on receiving end.
[00:23] <wolfy1339> Is IPv6 working on the
[00:23] <wolfy1339> US deb repository?
[00:23] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: Are you asking because you are having problem remotely accessing files?
[00:24] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, the ports are always 22 unless you have changed them in the config file for openssh.
[00:24] <bubbasaures> wolfy1339, Tons of US ubuntu repos, change yours to one that works,
[00:25] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: I want to be able to send files from server to server
[00:25] <ApplesInArrays> Then finally, I want to be able to migrate a MySQL database
[00:25] <wolfy1339> i am using us.archive.ubuntu.org, but ipv6 doesn't seem to work
[00:26] <ApplesInArrays> Alright, it looks like I got it
[00:26] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: there is nfs which ubuntu uses.
[00:26] <ApplesInArrays> root@ForeignIP's password: scp: /var/www/html//js.js: Disk quota exceeded
[00:27] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays you might want to install a dameon for manageing multiple servers
[00:27] <ApplesInArrays> swordsmanz: what kind of Daemon?
[00:27] <ApplesInArrays> I hope to only have to do this once
[00:27] <ApplesInArrays> but I'm interested
[00:27] <pragmaticenigma> swordsmanz, he's migrating from one machine to the another, not mirroring them
[00:27] <ApplesInArrays> mirroring sounds cool, though!
[00:27] <ApplesInArrays> and fuck, I can't figure out why disk quota is exceeded.
[00:28] <gadsdin> I just updated from 13.10 to 14.04.1 on a KVM VM running on Ganeti, and I now get the following kernel panic when trying to boot:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9758956/   any ideas about why?
[00:28] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, you might want to login to your target machine and figure out what's going on there. In the meantime, if you are using a service like digital ocean, you should really contact them for further support
[00:29] <ApplesInArrays> It's RIJX
[00:29] <ApplesInArrays> unfortunately
[00:29] <ApplesInArrays> Alright. I'm back to 'df -i' showing 100% usage of /dev/simfs
[00:30] <bubbasaures> wolfy1339, .com
[00:30] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: put port in root@ForeignIP's password: scp: /var/www/html//js.js: Disk quota exceeded
[00:30] <swordsmanz> pragmaticenigma so most decent solutions offer options for both
[00:30] <ApplesInArrays> It's really a disk quota problem.
[00:30] <samthewildone> OMG
[00:30] <ApplesInArrays> Now I have to figure out how to move things around the server.
[00:30] <swordsmanz> as for specifics i really wouldent feel comfertable adviseing on one, there are a shit tonne of ways to do that kinda thing
[00:30] <wolfy1339> even .com doesn't work
[00:30] <ApplesInArrays> /dev/simfs is 100% full. /dev/ and /run are empty
[00:31] <ApplesInArrays> but those don't appear when I use 'ls -la'
[00:31] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: after foreignips put :port
[00:31] <samthewildone> Guys I am having a NICE porter right now
[00:31] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: I used putty to log into "ForeignIP"'s machine.
[00:31] <niceties> Replace port with number of port ApplesInArrays
[00:31] <ApplesInArrays> because I forgot how dire ForeignIPs situatoin is.
[00:31] <samthewildone> its so black; like me that, its so RICH
[00:32] <ApplesInArrays> Now, RIJX is so ridiculously cheap, they could really be overselling physical space
[00:32] <samthewildone> !offtopic
[00:32] <ApplesInArrays> Is it off topic?
[00:33] <ApplesInArrays> I'm trying to diagnose space
[00:33] <ApplesInArrays> I was considering a possibility
[00:33] <pragmaticenigma> ApplesInArrays, talking about your service provider is offtopic
[00:33] <Nathan2055> When loading Kubuntu (or any Ubuntu derivative for that matter) into VirtualBox, should you choose Ubuntu or Linux (Other) as the OS?
[00:33] <ApplesInArrays> Alright, fine. /dev/simfs     175000 175000     0  100% /  is the only issue at hand. there is no service provider.
[00:33] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: if it's not the standard port. You need to tell it what port to use. And no matter what your router or even your internet provider might block the port. Your router you can fix.
[00:34] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays dont expect internal disk managment to give you acurate readings if you are useing a hyporvisor
[00:34] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: I figured out the SCP thing. I moved on to just figuring out what's happening with disk space on ForeignIP
[00:34] <pragmaticenigma> Nathan2055, you can use either. the setting is just for presets that are considered optimal for the system you are installing.
[00:34] <gadsdin> I think I found what's wrong. My actual root partition isn't mounting properly on boot. Any ideas why this might be?
[00:35] <pragmaticenigma> Nathan2055, it just makes sure the default memory, networking and disk space setups are optimal
[00:35] <ApplesInArrays> #du -ch <--- this command tells me how much I have free? I get 36k
[00:35] <Nathan2055> So all that does is pull the default settings, which I usually change anyway?
[00:36] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays this is a hypervised box right ?
[00:36] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: what's wrong with a simpler protocol like ftp or smb
[00:36] <ApplesInArrays> Sorry, let me look that word up.
[00:36] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: I'm no longer transfering files anywhere.
[00:36] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays a vps
[00:36] <ApplesInArrays> It's a VM
[00:36] <ApplesInArrays> but according to rules, there is no service provider.
[00:37] <Nathan2055> pragmaticenigma: So all that does is pull the default settings, which I usually change anyway?
[00:37] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays well ubuntus disk managment is not going to give you acurate readings
[00:37] <ApplesInArrays> swordsmanz: I see. I know of 'dh -i' and 'du -ch'. 'dh -i' says I'm using up my whole disk.
[00:38] <ApplesInArrays> Alright, so ubuntu disk usage is not useful for VM. Is that what you're saying?
[00:38] <swordsmanz> yes
[00:38] <ApplesInArrays> I see.
[00:38] <swordsmanz> well a vm with a shared fs/ kernal
[00:38] <ApplesInArrays> I think that's what I'm dealing with.
[00:38] <phix> hi, I am setting up ufw, I want to setup a NAT MASQUERADE by editing /etc/ufw/before.rules, I am wondering if I set the output interface as eth0 or br0 (eth0 is added to br0 too as well as my VMs)
[00:39] <ApplesInArrays> based on what I find for /dev/simfs
[00:39] <rocketeer> How can I encrypt an external drive in gnome-disks?
[00:39] <matt444> I need to buy a replacement harddrive for an all-in-one desktop
[00:39] <matt444> how do I know which type to get?
[00:39] <rocketeer> I have cryptsetup installed
[00:39] <phix> rocketeer: Not sure about gnome disk, but I would use the command line app cryptsetup
[00:39] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays if its a OpenVZ box then yes thats how OpenVZ can put so many boxes on relatively low end hardware
[00:40] <ApplesInArrays> swordsmanz: I think I'm beginning to understand.
[00:40] <phix> rocketeer: Then when I plug the drive in Nautalus will prompt you for hte key
[00:40] <ApplesInArrays> swordsmanz: Really thank you for pointing this out to me so clearly.
[00:40] <rocketeer> phix: I just don't want to mess something up by encrypting the wrong thing
[00:40] <ApplesInArrays> Anyways, I figured out SCP today, learned about the limitations of some of my machines.
[00:41] <ApplesInArrays> I thought htop was telling me the whole story.
[00:41] <ApplesInArrays> htop, du -ch, df -i, scp
[00:41] <phix> rocketeer: I see
[00:42] <phix> rocketeer: well you can pastebin the command and I can check it if you like
[00:42] <rocketeer> And it's driving me nuts because there is an encrypt option in disks but it's greyed out
[00:42] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: sounds like you punched through only to find out your not authorized to access the drive. You have no rw privileges.
[00:42] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: for the last time, I'm not transfering files.
[00:42] <bubbasaures> rocketeer, Just be aware that encrypting will keep others out including you if something goes wrong.
[00:42] <ApplesInArrays> I'm on a machine with an obese MySQL DB
[00:42] <ApplesInArrays> That stopped working a few days ago because I have 0bytes free.
[00:42] <rocketeer> Yep I know, which I why I'd like to not mess up my laptop
[00:43] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: still sounds like an ownership issue.
[00:43] <ApplesInArrays> Why does it sound like an ownership issue?
[00:43] <ApplesInArrays> root@Master:~# df -i
[00:43] <ApplesInArrays> I'm root
[00:44] <rocketeer> Apples: On which machine?
[00:44] <ApplesInArrays> On "ForeignIP"
[00:44] <ApplesInArrays> Where I have 0% free on the drive since I have an obese MySQL DB
[00:44] <rocketeer> Oh ok sorry
[00:45] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: root still may be a blocked user
[00:45] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: it's not.
[00:46] <rocketeer> man cryptsetup is probably the most opaque pages I've seen in a long time
[00:46] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: Just a wild guess. Maybe root needs a password set on the server
[00:46] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: The disk is full. End of story.
[00:47] <Nathan2055> Does dist-upgrade preform a full upgrade to the next major Ubuntu version of just update packages?
[00:48] <daftykins> Nathan2055: just update packages
[00:48] <daftykins> as per the man page
[00:48] <Nathan2055> The only difference between that an upgrade is that some packages may be removed, right?
[00:49] <Nathan2055> *and
[00:49] <Asblarf> Nathan2055: or added
[00:49] <Nathan2055> Right.
[00:51] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: so your mysql filled up the disk
[00:51] <ApplesInArrays> niceties: That's right.
[00:51] <ApplesInArrays> It was scraping
[00:52] <ApplesInArrays> but now that I have 5 shitty VMs paid for 1 year and I understand SCP, I can just get a good VM and have them all 'report' to a 'master VM'
[00:52] <daftykins> don't use that kind of language please
[00:52] <rocketeer> *paranoid* disks lists my external drive as /dev/sdb1, so can I run cryptsetup -y -v luksFormat /dev/sdb1 without breaking anything else *paranoid*
[00:52] <rocketeer> Can you tell I've lost drives by mistyping before
[00:52] <ApplesInArrays> daftykins: You're right. Sorry.
[00:53] <ApplesInArrays> Now. I'm sorry, someone said before some alternatives to SCP?
[00:53] <niceties> So we been through all this just to figure out You want to keep your sql data on remote servers
[00:54] <daftykins> not exactly the most direct of questions ever =|
[00:54] <ApplesInArrays> Nah, it was learning SCP and figuring out about disk usage.
[00:54] <ApplesInArrays> The actual application shouldn't matter, should it?
[00:55] <daftykins> are you not wanting to resolve this full disk issue then? :P
[00:55] <ApplesInArrays> I will get a new VM (no provider), throw the SQL on there, clear out all of my other servers.
[00:56] <ApplesInArrays> Then just use them as slave IPs for scraping.
[00:57] <daftykins> re: SCP, just create a simple user who IS allowed to SCP and use them as a go between
[00:57] <daftykins> safer than enabling for root
[00:57] <daftykins> plus using root in general isn't really that wise
[00:57] <gorelative> what am i missing with extending an LVM
[00:57] <gorelative> disk
[00:57] <gorelative>   Device /dev/sda4 not found (or ignored by filtering).
[00:57] <gorelative> brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 3 Jan 15 22:46 /dev/sda3
[00:58] <gorelative> its there 0.)
[00:58] <gorelative> o.O
[00:58] <gorelative> err tahts supposed to be /dev/sda3
[00:58] <niceties> daftykins: I suspected it could be group/user issue
[01:00] <daftykins> niceties: i don't even follow this guy so nevermind :)
[01:00] <daftykins> bed for me
[01:00] <niceties> Yes he is deep.
[01:01] <ApplesInArrays> Is "RM" a program like "SCP" is?
[01:01] <niceties> ApplesInArrays: so you wAnt to securely move the sql
[01:02] <ApplesInArrays> I know I can type "python script.py" and it will run the script... Does that mean 'python' is the program and 'script.py' is just a parameter?
[01:02] <NegativeFlare> ApplesInArrays: Yes.
[01:02] <ApplesInArrays> Why are some parameters passed with -[letter]?
[01:02] <ApplesInArrays> This means that rm/dir/cd are all 'programs'
[01:03] <Jordan_U> ApplesInArrays: Note that since linux is case sensitive, "RM" and "SCP" are actually not valid commands ("rm" and "scp" are though).
[01:03] <ApplesInArrays> wow, you're right.
[01:03] <ApplesInArrays> command not found
[01:03] <gorelative> anyone here familiar with LVM?
[01:03] <ApplesInArrays> However, I read somewhere i could use nicknames or something.
[01:03] <ApplesInArrays> alias?
[01:04] <Jordan_U> ApplesInArrays: They're all commands, all of them except "cd" (which is a builtin command, which is probably more than you need to know right now) could also be called programs, but we usually just call these types of things "commands".
[01:04] <ApplesInArrays> OMG, 'alias' is amazing.
[01:05] <ApplesInArrays> Ok, so some commands are 'built-in'
[01:05] <ubuntu-studio> moin!
[01:05] <ApplesInArrays> This is very interesting.
[01:05] <swordsmanz> Jordan_U acrually mv is the only one that is a command, the others are all programmes
[01:05] <ApplesInArrays> What if I made a nice program called 'SCP' that does financial stuff, and I wanted to be 'apt-get install scp' ? Who decides the "SCP" part?
[01:05] <ubuntu-studio> this is weird
[01:06] <ApplesInArrays> Oh, Canonical?
[01:06] <Jordan_U> swordsmanz: What definition are you using for "program"?
[01:06] <ApplesInArrays> No wait, it's the repositories, right?
[01:06] <ApplesInArrays> That's why sometimes you have to add repositories to get obscure programs
[01:07] <swordsmanz> Jordan_U a programme that is separte from bash, that needs compileing and stuff that is its own programme
[01:07] <ApplesInArrays> and I already know that 'bash' comes with a loaded namespace already.
[01:07] <ApplesInArrays> and that you can extend it.
[01:07] <swordsmanz> in that it exists as a seperate entity and is a programme in its own right, and is totaly seperate from bash
[01:08] <ApplesInArrays> Does that mean you could uninstall them?
[01:08] <bekks> ApplesInArrays: "bash" is a shell and has no "namespace".
[01:08] <swordsmanz> ApplesInArrays yes
[01:08] <Jordan_U> swordsmanz: Which would also include "rm" and "dir".
[01:08] <swordsmanz> Jordan_U yup also programmes
[01:08] <bekks> ApplesInArrays: It has a set of built in commands, but thats not what you would call a "namespace" in programming languages.
[01:09] <ApplesInArrays> I added the path to PHP to the 'namespace'
[01:09] <ApplesInArrays> so I just have to type 'php script.php'
[01:09] <ApplesInArrays> I think it's like Window's ENV Path, yeah?
[01:09] <ApplesInArrays> maybe 'namespace' is the wrong word.
[01:09] <Stanley00> ApplesInArrays: well, it's called PATH env variable too :P
[01:10] <bekks> that namespace is just called "path" - the absolute names of directories where binaries are searched.
[01:11] <phix> so any insight into my ufw question?
[01:14] <swordsmanz> Jordan_U well programmes is a bit of a stretch for the file management stuff, becouse they are actually commands of the programme linux not the programme bash
[01:14] <ApplesInArrays> Alright guys, another question.
[01:15] <ApplesInArrays> df -h shows 5% used. df -i shows 100% use. I read up on what http://www.linux.org/threads/intro-to-inodes.4130/ inodes are.
[01:15] <ApplesInArrays> It seems that If I can move some stuff around, stuff won't be so full anymore
[01:15] <ApplesInArrays> inodes are like 'pointers' to the data, not the data itself. If I could allocate more spcae to inodes, I would be able to write more, yes?
[01:15] <phix> gang?
[01:15] <Jordan_U> swordsmanz: Let's continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[01:15] <phix> you there?
[01:16] <Asblarf> phix: who's your gang?
[01:16] <phix> Gang of Ubuntu users
[01:17] <phix> That's the correct term right?
[01:17] <ApplesInArrays> Alright, so I need to allocate more inodes
[01:17] <Stanley00> phix: can you please repeat the question? I've just join here, cannot see it...
[01:17] <phix> Stanley00: I am setting up ufw, I want to setup a NAT MASQUERADE by editing /etc/ufw/before.rules, I am wondering if I set the output interface as eth0 or br0 (eth0 is added to br0 too as well as my VMs)
[01:19] <Stanley00> phix: well, why don't you try both to see what'll work for you. there're only two options, so easy :P
[01:19] <wonderworld> phix: you masquerade the bridge
[01:20] <SrPx> I'm trying to download ubuntu, but it links me to "ubuntu-14.04-1.desktop-amd64.iso" is that correct for a macbook pro?
[01:20] <wafflejock> ApplesInArrays, it appears you can't increase the number of inodes on an existing ext4 filesystem
[01:20] <ApplesInArrays> wafflejock: I just found out the same thing!
[01:20] <wafflejock> ApplesInArrays, I wonder do you know why you would have so many inodes?
[01:20] <ApplesInArrays> So i'm trying to figure out if every row in my MySQL DB takes up an inode!
[01:21] <wafflejock> ApplesInArrays, hmm that is strange
[01:21] <antimatroid> has anyone found a nice way to automatically prevent dropbox syncing for specific networks (eg. when tethering off my phone)
[01:21] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: it probably does not
[01:21] <ApplesInArrays> Asblarf: That's what I think, too
[01:21] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: that would be a pretty bad design
[01:21] <ApplesInArrays> but df -h shows 5% usage. df -i shows 100% usage.
[01:22] <wafflejock> !Mac | SrPx
[01:22] <Asblarf> That basically means you have a lot of very small files somewhere on your fs
[01:22] <ApplesInArrays> Hmm... Maybe I can find out where
[01:22] <phix> Stanley00: wouldn't that break the Internet?
[01:23] <phix> Stanley00: also, what's with naming female character with the same letter for the first and last name?
[01:23] <wonderworld> ApplesInArrays: no. every file has it's own unique inode. a mysql db consists of files for every table. one table in your mysql db, no matter how big it is, consumes one inode
[01:23] <ApplesInArrays> wonderworld: that makes sense.
[01:24] <Asblarf> it sure does
[01:24] <Stanley00> phix: hmm... you try, if it doesn't work, you can revert and try another. But as wonderworld said, " you masquerade the bridge"
[01:24] <wafflejock> SrPx, basically if you have a 64bit processor that looks right to me
[01:25] <ApplesInArrays> For anyone else, does "sudo find . -xdev -type f | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n" help you figure out where your inode usage is?
[01:25] <ApplesInArrays> for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
[01:25] <ApplesInArrays> for /tmp it's HUGE
[01:25] <SrPx> wafflejock: hmm thanks but that is actually not very informative since my model is not listed :( anyway I just found it weird that it said amd, but alright. THank you!
[01:26] <ApplesInArrays> and I found out what it was!
[01:26] <ApplesInArrays> I have a TON of Curl cookies!
[01:27] <21WAA0UI1> hello
[01:27] <ApplesInArrays> maybe I should figure out how to delete files in /tmp older than a day?
[01:27] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: you're so energetic, you remind me of my cat when he's on acid
[01:27] <ApplesInArrays> Asblarf: This is so exciting
[01:27] <wafflejock> SrPx, amd64 is just the 64bit architecture standard basically still applies to intel 64 bit as well it is confusing though
[01:28] <SrPx> I see!
[01:28] <SrPx> ty
[01:29] <ApplesInArrays> I think tonight is a good night to figure out how to write a .sh that clears out /tmp
[01:29] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: I can tell ;)
[01:29] <ApplesInArrays> Or does anyone else have a better route?
[01:30] <wonderworld> you could write a book on how to troll tech channels
[01:30] <MDTech-us_MAN> I tried changing the ssh port by editing /etc/ssh/ssh_config and uncommentign the "Port" directive
[01:30] <ApplesInArrays> Hey, I just want to thank everyone here.
[01:30] <ApplesInArrays> inode usage back down to 20%. HD Usage still 5%. 0 cookies.
[01:30] <MDTech-us_MAN> but ssh is still listening on 22
[01:31] <MDTech-us_MAN> I did do service ssh restart
[01:31] <wonderworld> you need /etc/sshD_config
[01:31] <wafflejock> ^^
[01:31] <wonderworld> ssh_config is client
[01:31] <MDTech-us_MAN> ahhhhh
[01:31] <MDTech-us_MAN> I seee
[01:31] <licnep> so i put this entry in fstab to mount a windows partition "UUID=E41E58801E584E24 /media/alox/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,fmask=0000,umask=000,dmask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0", and i mount it with sudo, but then the regular user doesnt have write access, anything i'm missing?
[01:32] <MDTech-us_MAN> thanks wonderworld
[01:35] <bubbasaures> licnep, here is mine, /dev/sda7      /mnt/Windows   ntfs-3g   defaults   0   0  I subbed the UUID with the actual partition
[01:36] <bubbasaures> licnep, No idea what you mean my sudo mount, unless it's fstab to edit, should be gksudo
[01:36] <ApplesInArrays> Now. I figure that one solution to my problem would be to create a *.sh with "rm /tmp/*" . but then it would need to run as sudo, yeah?
[01:36] <ApplesInArrays> ahh, nm.
[01:36] <ApplesInArrays> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beginners/BashScripting
[01:37] <licnep> bubbasaures: i mean i'm mounting it from a terminal with "sudo mount", but even mounting it from nautilus the result is the same, i'll try your line and see if it works
[01:38] <SrPx> Does anyone know why ubuntu installed in parallels desktop on a Macbook Pro Retina host, with 2880x1800 (native) resolution, looks blurry? http://i.imgur.com/O6XGNtS.png doesn't look like it is 2880x1800
[01:38] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: why would write a script that would contain a one liner ?
[01:38] <Asblarf> +you
[01:38] <ApplesInArrays> Asblarf: so I can crontab -e it.
[01:39] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: what about finding the source of your problem instead of fixing the symptoms?
[01:39] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: what grafix driver active?
[01:39] <ApplesInArrays> Asblarf: I have to write all those cookies so i can scrape FinancialTimes.com
[01:39] <Asblarf> oO
[01:39] <ApplesInArrays> or TheDiplomat.com
[01:39] <ApplesInArrays> I forget which
[01:39] <ApplesInArrays> one of them has a redirect
[01:39] <ApplesInArrays> like an intermediate page
[01:40] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: you can't be true
[01:40] <ApplesInArrays> #52 http://thediplomat.com/2015/01/the-indian-ocean-zone-of-peace-reality-vs-illusion/
[01:41] <ApplesInArrays> #57 http://thediplomat.com/2015/01/thailands-ruling-junta-threatens-to-take-action-if-protests-occur/
[01:41] <ApplesInArrays> Why not?
[01:41] <lotuspsychje> ApplesInArrays: keep it ontopic please
[01:41] <ApplesInArrays> lotuspsychje: You're right. I just want to show that I am true.
[01:41] <ApplesInArrays> Anyways, I think I have the bash thing down.
[01:41] <ApplesInArrays> just have to chmod
[01:42] <SrPx> lotuspsychje: how do I know? Also, why parallels only allows me to alloc 32mb of video memory to the guest os? Isn't that tooo low?
[01:42] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: can you sudo lshw -C video please?
[01:44] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: it could be a paralel issue also, ask in the mac channel for best retina settings maybe
[01:45] <SrPx> lordbachus: pastebin.com/uH8R9XMr
[01:45] <SrPx> oh damn, lotuspsychje *
[01:46] <ApplesInArrays> Alright. I have the ClearTemp.sh working every hour. Just has 'rm /tmp/*' with chmod 700
[01:47] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: did you compile your script? You need to if you want to avoid memory leaks on the long term.
[01:49] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: can you put on pasteubuntu plz, that pastebin lags on me recently
[01:49] <ApplesInArrays> Asblarf: I'm working on compiling the script in Ada to ensure reliability in deleting the /tmp/* files
[01:49] <SrPx> haha sure
[01:50] <samthewildone> touch me
[01:50] <samthewildone> :\
[01:50]  * samthewildone is working hard with gimp
[01:50] <SrPx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759272/
[01:50] <samthewildone> I'm so lazy but, for a reason.
[01:50] <Jordan_U> ApplesInArrays: Just deleting all files in /tmp/ will lead to problems. Programs do expect *some* persistance of that data, just not across reboots.
[01:50] <samthewildone> when using images on the web whats the best format to be used for fast loading times ?
[01:50] <ApplesInArrays> Jordan_U: I only find cookie Curls in there. PHP Sessions are saved elsewhere
[01:51] <samthewildone> Quality does matter but, I don't want my image taking more than 1 second to load.
[01:51] <ApplesInArrays> Oh, maybe I will just delete files that start with "CURLCOOKIE"
[01:51] <ApplesInArrays> That seems smarter
[01:51] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: yeah its using the product: Accelerated Virtual Video Adapter from paralel
[01:51] <Jordan_U> ApplesInArrays: That sounds much more reasonable.
[01:52] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: you could try best retina settings in your mac maybe, not sure if you will get it better then the blur
[01:52] <ApplesInArrays> rm /tmp/CURLCOOKIE*
[01:52] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: virtualizing grafix can never be as good as the real thing
[01:52] <SrPx> I seee...
[01:53] <SrPx> okayy thank you :)
[01:53] <ApplesInArrays> Hey guys, thanks for helping me keep this enterprise server together
[01:53] <ApplesInArrays> been a huge help with inodes/memory and bash and all
[01:54] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: SrPx: Ubuntu should not be looking that pixelated though, even in a VM. My guess is that parallels isn't configured properly.
[01:54] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: that surely possible
[01:55] <Asblarf> ApplesInArrays: cool, glad we could help
[01:56] <hydrajump> why can't I get upstart to work with `start on net-device-up IFACE=eth0` ubuntu 14.04?
[01:56] <lotuspsychje> !upstart | hydrajump maybe some info here
[01:56] <hydrajump> I've tried with INTERFACE=eth0 but I can't get even a simple `echo "test" > /tmp/test`
[01:57] <hydrajump> lotuspsychje: thanks I've been through it several times and googled as well, but I don't understand why specifically net-device-up isn't working for me
[01:57] <lotuspsychje> hydrajump: also try the guys from #upstart, they also might know
[01:57] <hydrajump> ah good idea
[01:57] <hydrajump> thanks
[01:58] <princejose> Hi
[01:58] <princejose> .players
[01:59] <jamie_> hey i am having a problem with all of a sudden upstart takes over my processor for some odd reason and making the computer freeze temporally
[01:59] <welly> Hello all. I'm struggling with iptables a bit. I'm trying to open access to mysql from one U14.04 server to another
[02:00] <welly> This is my iptables as it stands: http://pastie.org/9834453
[02:00] <lotuspsychje> !iptables | welly
[02:01] <andre__> hi
[02:01] <welly> lotuspsychje, yep! using iptables. I'm struggling to get it working. It's fine for SSH, PING and HTTP just not mysql
[02:01] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: htop can help you find whats causing cpu 100%?
[02:01] <andre__> can someone help me with a problem i am having?
[02:01] <Guest16800> can someone help me?
[02:01] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: if you ask your question, we could
[02:01] <Guest16800> ssorry
[02:02] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: is that a program
[02:02] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: htop in terminal
[02:02] <jamie_> okay one sec want to look it up real fast
[02:02] <Guest16800> on my taskbar, all but one of my windows i can click on to unfold them and have a white arrow next to them
[02:02] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: maybe check your logs also, syslog,dmesg
[02:02] <Guest16800> but, one has a unfilled arrow, which i cannot click on
[02:02] <Guest16800> but the application is running, as i hear its audio
[02:04] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: explain a bit more clear mate, taskbar and white arrow?
[02:04] <Guest16800> so, on windows a taskbar is the thing on which you can click on to unfold windows
[02:05] <Guest16800> is it the same name on ubuntu?
[02:06] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: on unity sidebar windows minimize back to the icon, is that what you mean?
[02:06] <bubbasaures> Guest16800, screenshot please
[02:06] <devzdesilva> hey
[02:06] <Guest16800> ok,
[02:06] <Bashing-om> andrex: State your issue, to the channel.
[02:06] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: im not really sure what to look for
[02:06] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: dmesg in terminal should show relevant problems
[02:07] <jamie_> and syslog returns no such command
[02:07] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: you need the log viewer icon from your programs
[02:07] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: or browse to /var/log/syslog manually
[02:08] <jamie_> that is a lot easier for me... okay one sec taking a look
[02:08] <Guest16800> http://imgur.com/xhZEgudhttp://imgur.com/xhZEgud
[02:08] <Guest16800> see how on the left side of my screen, to the left of the google chrome logo, there is a white arrow?
[02:09] <devzdesilva> that link's not working
[02:09] <Guest16800> if you look 3 icons below it, you will see one with a white arrow but its just an outline
[02:09] <Guest16800> oh yeah sorry
[02:09] <Guest16800> http://imgur.com/xhZEgud
[02:09] <Guest16800> double paste
[02:10] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: you mean the grey icon?
[02:10] <Guest16800> yeah
[02:10] <Guest16800> a few minutes ago, i could open it
[02:10] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: wich package is this?
[02:10] <Guest16800> but now
[02:10] <Guest16800> i cannot
[02:10] <Guest16800> it is minecraft
[02:10] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: from wine?
[02:10] <Guest16800> i was developing a mod
[02:10] <Guest16800> no, the linux version
[02:11] <Guest16800> i should clarify, technic pack
[02:11] <Guest16800> for some reason it doesnt have a proper icon,
[02:11] <Guest16800> but im not worried about that
[02:11] <devzdesilva> why won't you just restart your comp.
[02:11] <Guest16800> im worried about the fact that i cant click it
[02:11] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: might be something wrong with the package itself
[02:11] <Guest16800> i have tried
[02:11] <Guest16800> Oh ok
[02:12] <Guest16800> have you ever seen anyone else have this problem?
[02:12] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: try also running it from terminal, see what errors you get
[02:12] <Guest16800> just wondering
[02:12] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: if i use the past bin can you take a look the end of syslog and give me a hand
[02:12] <lotuspsychje> Guest16800: also try the reboot as devzdesilva sugests
[02:12] <Guest16800> i have tried multiple times
[02:12] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: paste to pasteubuntu plz
[02:12] <Guest16800> but, the log file in cmd is short
[02:12] <Guest16800> since its a .jar i use cmd to open it
[02:13] <Guest16800> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759339/
[02:13] <devzdesilva> send a screenshot of the terminal log...that'll help
[02:13] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759341/
[02:13] <Guest16800> wow
[02:13] <Guest16800> i feel stupid
[02:14] <Guest16800> well
[02:14] <Guest16800> i sort of accidentally had it open behind google chrome
[02:14] <Guest16800> so maybe it thought it was open?
[02:14] <Guest16800> either way sorry to disturb u guys
[02:15] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: dont see anything suspicious there, can you pasteubuntu dmesg also?
[02:15] <jamie_> okay one sec
[02:16] <jamie_> lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759351/
[02:17] <jamie_> im good at solving it.... but i have no error that i see that explains it
[02:18] <mojtaba> Hi, By chance do you know how to fix fingerprint in Thinkpad 440S (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)?
[02:18] <jamie_> and im used to working from error messages... kinda useless for the most part
[02:18] <MichaelHabib1> hi, is this line looks correct ?  tar -xfv wiki.tar.gz
[02:18] <MichaelHabib1> I get :
[02:18] <MichaelHabib1> tar: v: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[02:18] <MichaelHabib1> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[02:18] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: wich ubuntu version is this?
[02:18] <jamie_> 14.10
[02:19] <MichaelHabib1> I know the file does exist !
[02:19] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: this doesnt look right 34.231884] systemd-logind[1132]: Failed to start unit user@112.service: Unknown unit: user@112.service
[02:20] <swordsmanz> anyone running pantheon as there WM ?
[02:20] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: did you install systemd or something?
[02:21] <jamie_> no
[02:21] <lotuspsychje> MichaelHabib1: try rar or 7zip maybe
[02:21] <Bashing-om> MichaelHabib1: Are you working in the same direcory as the .tar.gz file is ? You do an "ls" do you see that target file ?
[02:21] <jamie_> lotuspsychje:  okay.... I hate to kinda run in the middle but have to go take care of something important..... crap, Ill be back in a few
[02:22] <jamie_> help who needs it, I will be back in a little
[02:22] <lotuspsychje> jamie_: kk good luck
[02:22] <MichaelHabib1> Bashing-om: I'm , I used [TAB] to auto complete the file name and I triple checked it exists.
[02:23] <hydrajump> isn't `sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up` equivalent to unplugging and plugging in an ethernet cable?
[02:23] <gadsdin> I'm getting a kernel panic and am currently trying to fix it using initramfs. I think my linux-image* packages may be deleted. How can I best reinstall them from initramfs?
[02:24] <aRdoR> Hi
[02:24] <happyfr0gg> Is there an Ubuntu app that allows me to record audio I hear from my headphones or speakers?
[02:24] <aRdoR> Where do I look up hardware support for the HP Steam 11-d010nr Notebook, Looking to run Elemenrty OS or Mint from USB or Flash Card Boot.
[02:25] <MichaelHabib1> hydrajump: I think it is.. Most of the time I do  sudo ifdown -av  to shutdown all network connections (just incase you didnt know )
[02:25] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: only ubuntu support here mate
[02:25] <aRdoR> I havn't bought the laptop yet, I am looking for one I can use linux first and foremost but it needs to be light weight small and ideally cheap.
[02:25] <mojtaba> Hi, By chance do you know how to fix fingerprint in Thinkpad 440S (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)?
[02:25] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: xubuntu/lubuntu are light
[02:26] <hydrajump> MichaelHabib1: It's weird but after I do ifconfig eth0 up I get `network unreachable` and I have to reboot for networking to work agian
[02:26] <hydrajump> very odd
[02:26] <lotuspsychje> hydrajump: could be network-manager also
[02:26] <aRdoR> Thanks Lotuspsychje: I ment lite as in pounds/grams
[02:27] <gadsdin> aRdoR: xubuntu - lightweight, good-looking, and free
[02:27] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: many laptops will work with ubuntu
[02:27] <mojtaba> could you please tell me what is the difference between KVM and Virtual Machine?
[02:27] <mojtaba> Which one is better?
[02:27] <aRdoR> hydrajump: could it be Spanning Tree?
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> !kvm | mojtaba
[02:28] <aRdoR> lotuspsychje: is there a list kept some where?
[02:28] <hydrajump> MichaelHabib1: sudo ifdown eth0 and sudo ifup eth0 seems to work. Now I jsut need to figure out why upstart isn't reacting to these events. thanks MichaelHabib1
[02:28] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: What is its difference with virtual machine?
[02:28] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: I want to run win7 and another ubuntu machine
[02:28] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: there is an page that shows supported hardware yes, but ubuntu supports more hardware then the list
[02:29] <lotuspsychje> mojtaba: virtualbox will fill in all your needs
[02:29] <aRdoR> lotuspsychje: I just found this, reading it now. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2258262
[02:30] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: I want to learn too at the same time!
[02:31] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/
[02:31] <lotuspsychje> mojtaba: you can install ubuntu and run w7 from virtualbox perfectly
[02:32] <aRdoR> Thanks lotuspsychje: thanks, not listed. but this is indeed the link I was looking for.
[02:32] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: mostly you will buy an uefi machine, and ubuntu will run just fine on it
[02:33] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: what about the kvm? what can it do? (sorry for asking too much. I would really like to learn sth new.)
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> aRdoR: ill recomend you 14.04
[02:33] <lotuspsychje> mojtaba: read that kvm trigger mate or the ubuntu manual
[02:33] <eatyourguitar> does ubuntu lag behind new drivers for new chipsets released by debian?
[02:33] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: sure, thanks
[02:34] <MichaelHabib1> Q : can i  chmod without sudo  from command line ?
[02:34] <MichaelHabib1> (logged in through SSH )
[02:34] <lotuspsychje> !chmod | MichaelHabib1
[02:34] <eatyourguitar> and is it possible that ubuntu has drivers before debian does?
[02:35] <lotuspsychje> eatyourguitar: whats your issue exactly mate?
[02:36] <SrPx> my ubuntu came with office (wtf???????) and a lot of directories inside home... can I delete all that? wtf
[02:36] <lotuspsychje> SrPx: what do you mean?
[02:37] <MichaelHabib1> lotuspsychje: using the same login details,  I can change file permission from FTP  but when I do  "chmod" from Command-line logged in using SSH  I "Must" use sudo .. then it says my account doesnt have sudo permission !

[02:40] <eatyourguitar> but I'm not sure if I am getting a single core or dual core
[02:40] <lotuspsychje> eatyourguitar: ubuntu will run fine on most hardware
[02:40] <victor> Ok, thanks, my issue is with my external monitor
[02:41] <eatyourguitar> the single core might have multithreading
[02:41] <victor> I already have installed the drivers
[02:41] <lotuspsychje> eatyourguitar: a computer with ssd is recomended
[02:41] <victor> AMD drivers omega
[02:41] <eatyourguitar> I can link specific hardware

[02:51] <mojtaba> Hi, By chance do you know how to fix fingerprint in Thinkpad 440S (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS)?
[02:52] <lotuspsychje> mojtaba: maybe this can help: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/how-to-get-your-fingerprint-reader-working-in-ubuntu
[02:53] <mojtaba> lotuspsychje: It did not find mine!
[02:56] <Bashing-om> RonWhoCares: That can be done in 'fstab' file. See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 <-bodhi.zazen -Understanding fstab , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab . If this is a USB drive, watch the mount options.

[02:58] <Success> How do I defragment on LUKS fs, my SSD is getting slow?
[02:58] <eatyourguitar> and it can be installed I guess
[02:59] <bubbasaures> Success, you don't.
[02:59] <eatyourguitar> he was running it as a usb boot
[02:59] <Success> bubbasaures well why not
[02:59] <bubbasaures> Success, linux partitioning does not need fragmenting
[03:00] <Stanley00> Success: and basically, encrypting will slow thing down :3
[03:00] <bubbasaures> if you fill up the HD that may cause issues
[03:01] <lotuspsychje> Success: also never defrag an ssd
[03:02] <bubbasaures> 14.04 has trim built in but you can tweak around with that Success
[03:03] <eatyourguitar> is this supported http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856102053

[03:19] <theaftermath> Hi all, been googling a lot about this issue. The disable touchpad when using keyboard setting is not working for me.
[03:20] <CtrlAltDelicious> hey everyone
[03:22] <Liam`> This is somewhat unrelated to Ubuntu directly, but I think someone may be able to help me. Long story short, I'm doing an extensive amount of SSH'ing into servers, and I want to be able to easily access my commands from within every server I ssh into (assuming all bash, assuming all function correctly). Currently, I have hostname/date/w all run when I ssh into a server, however when I try to set functions
[03:22] <Liam`> before I use "bash -l" (to initiate the actuall prompt), the functions aren't accessible
[03:22] <Liam`> Basically, any easy way to make a sub bash session access functions from the initial bash session, or rather, keep the initial bash session open after running the commands? idk.
[03:24] <bubbasaures> we do ubuntu only here
[03:27] <mynameisdeleted> so ... remote login and execution of a command in 12ms
[03:28] <mynameisdeleted> decent?
[03:28] <mynameisdeleted> 0.012s
[03:28] <mynameisdeleted> according to time command
[03:29] <CtrlAltDelicious> mynameisdeleted: Depends on the command?
[03:29] <Kento> Can anyone help me to install rt3290sta driver please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759523/
[03:30] <mynameisdeleted> uptime or ls
[03:30] <Liam`> bubbasaures: It's related to Ubuntu.
[03:30] <mynameisdeleted> running locally takes about 0.002ms
[03:30] <mynameisdeleted> try timing how long it takes to use regular ssh key to log into a system
[03:30] <CtrlAltDelicious> mynameisdeleted: That sounds pretty good, man.
[03:30] <CtrlAltDelicious> ah, yea, its uaully half a second or less
[03:31] <mynameisdeleted> setting zsh shell and using host authentication with rlogin over private network helps a lot
[03:31] <mynameisdeleted> also using infiniband or fiberchannel (or 10gbe) helps a lot
[03:31] <mynameisdeleted> also using low latency kernels helps
[03:31] <Lee-> I'm trying to write a udev rule to set the autosuspend_delay_ms of my mouse whenever I connect it (to a usb3 port).

Here's an example of my rule: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1532", ATTR{power/autosuspend_delay_ms}="600000"

[03:37] <pragmaticenigma> Liam`, what your trying to do is a bit more advanced than what this room is capable of supporting. You may want to check out some of the other rooms to see if someone there could be of better assistance
[03:37] <CtrlAltDelicious> lotuspsychje: So theres never any "fun" talk in here, when theres nothing else to talk about?

[03:38] <jMyles> I've been using a dual-monitor set up for a few days without issue (the built-in display on an "all-in-one" and an external via HDMI), but now suddenly the built-in won't work.  When, for example, I try to disable / enable it or change resolutions, it just briefly flashes the picture and then goes off.
[03:39] <jMyles> Of course in the back of my head, I'm dreading that this might be a hardware problem; it doesn't seem to behave properly before boot either.
[03:39] <CtrlAltDelicious> lotuspsychje: True, but theres not really an abundance of them.
[03:39] <lotuspsychje> !xrandr | jMyles try this maybe
[03:39] <jMyles> Although as I recall this computer was never much for display before the boot
[03:39] <CtrlAltDelicious> brb need to change IP addresses
[03:40] <jMyles> lotuspsychje: Will do.  In the mean time / also, is there a surefire way to determine if I'm experiencing a hardware issue with the built-in LCD?
[03:40] <bubbasaures> jMyles, test a live if you can.
[03:40] <Success> Lee- why the highlight?
[03:41] <jMyles> bubbasaures: That had occurred to me, but again, it doesn't even work in BIOS.  I surmise that somehow my video hard has been 'hard switched' to 'external only' mode or something.
[03:41] <Kento> :(  My wireless card driver support is too bad.
[03:41] <CtrlAltDelicious> back
[03:41] <bubbasaures> jMyles, ##hardware maybe
[03:41] <Lee-> Success, because your nick is a common word that people use when writing sentences regarding technical aspects.

[03:46] <SrPx> Hello, I've booted an ubuntu usb stick on macbook pro retina. It didn't recognize the partition I made using disk utils. I selected the option to chose my own partition. I found the one I made and clicked it. It asked me to chose between several different options (FAT, paging... etc). What should I chose?
[03:46] <bubbasaures> CtrlAltDelicious, sure install a different DE.
[03:46] <CtrlAltDelicious> Ah, also you used to be able to right click and edit icons to, for example, in wireshark add the gksudo command. Now when I click its just UI options.
[03:47] <nahtnam> Finally found it! it was in my home folder

[03:51] <shponguluma> Is it possible to make a galaxy tab 4 able to monitor packets etc. In networks? Like if someone wants to monitor their routers data in and out?
[03:51] <SrPx> nobody knwos? :( also, do I *need* to install that rEFind thing?
[03:51] <bubbasaures> raging_goblin, It is be sure the partners repo is open.
[03:52] <bubbasaures> raging_goblin, Look in software and updates 2nd tab
[03:52] <raging_goblin> ok thanks bubbasaures i ll look that up
[03:53] <CtrlAltDelicious> shponguluma: Depends, is it rooted?

[03:57] <shponguluma> Great, thanks man
[03:57] <CtrlAltDelicious> shponguluma: My pleasuer, amigo.  Let me know how it goes.
[03:58] <shponguluma> Will other apps with an ability to sniff air and such be opened for that aswell then?
[03:58] <pragmaticenigma> bubbasaures, skype isn't in any of the repos. he just needs to go to Skypes download page and grab the one labled for ubuntu 12, it will work on any version of ubuntu after 12.
[03:58] <bubbasaures> !skype | pragmaticenigma
[03:59] <bubbasaures> it is in the repos and suggested as first use
[04:00] <pragmaticenigma> I'll take a look, bubbasaures. I just grabbed the .deb file from Skype's website and it worked just as easily
[04:00] <CtrlAltDelicious> shponguluma: I dont understand your question.
[04:01] <bubbasaures> pragmaticenigma, I did to, however not everyone has the skills to deal with issue, common one no sound is all. Ubuntu's wiki's rhetoric is use there's is all. ;)
[04:01] <SrPx> What partition format should I chose when installing ubuntu with an usb stick on macbook pro?
[04:02] <bubbasaures> SrPx, ext4 is the default
[04:02] <pragmaticenigma> Ah, bubbasaures, I ran into the no sound initially too, now that you mentioned it. but it was a quick change in the config/options and got it working
[04:02] <shponguluma> Ctrlaltdelicious Well, i havent been able to monitor packets with fex a self-made ng-ettercap, checked everything so there seems to be a lock or smthn

[04:07] <bonesdds> Is there a delay option to keep usb drive from mounting before root?
[04:07] <CtrlAltDelicious> shponguluma: Im in there too, if you want to continue over there we can.
[04:08] <shponguluma> Ill just pm mate
[04:08] <CtrlAltDelicious> ok
[04:09] <bonesdds> Wow, a lot of people joining and quiting, but nobody actually talking about support.
[04:10] <ObrienDave> normal for this channel
[04:10] <RamchandraApte> bonesdds: Often the quits and joins are merely someone's computer starting up or shutting down.
[04:10] <bonesdds> Any help on here or a better channel to ask for help?
[04:10] <ObrienDave> not if you don't ask a support question
[04:11] <pragmaticenigma> !ask | bonesdds
[04:11] <bonesdds> I'll repeat. Installed usb 3.0 in pci-express slot and now my external drive gets mounted earlier than the root drive.
[04:11] <bonesdds> I asked 2 time above.
[04:12] <bonesdds> Would love some help.
[04:12] <ObrienDave> !patience | bonesdds
[04:12] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, it's not possible to mount an external drive before root... unless the external drive is bootable
[04:12] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, if that is the case, you need to access your system bios or firmware and change the bootdrive order
[04:13] <bonesdds> blkid lists usb drive as sda1, 2nd usb drive as sdb1 and root drive as sdc1.
[04:14] <bonesdds> Good tip about bios. Haven't checked there. Thanks.
[04:14] <bonesdds> New to fstab and all this mounting stuff.
[04:14] <SrPx> When I boot the ubuntu install pen drive it says "the current computer has no detected operating system". It asks to erase my whole HD. I don't want that, I want to dual boot! What do I do? There is a "something else" option... but I'm not sure I understand what it will do.
[04:14] <SrPx> I'm afraid it will erase everything
[04:14] <SrPx> how can I ensure it will not erase all my osx files
[04:14] <bubbasaures> SrPx, You get to the desktop?
[04:15] <SrPx> bubbasaures: ?
[04:15] <bubbasaures> SrPx, ah osx, I'm out, not sure, nevermind. ;)
[04:15] <SrPx> :(
[04:16] <bonesdds> Does the drive name (sda, sdb, sdc...) actually matter. Everything works fine, I just am used to the root drive being sda1?
[04:16] <ObrienDave> root drive should be sda1
[04:17] <slainr> where I can paste an screenshot? my linux enviroment are bugged
[04:17] <bonesdds> It's currently sdc1. Can't figure out how to fix it.
[04:17] <SchrodingersScat> !screenshot | slainr
[04:17] <ObrienDave> bonesdds, check bios, change boot order
[04:18] <bonesdds> Will try thanks.
[04:18] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, no, the drive names do not matter
[04:18] <slainr> hey, take a look. I've change my vga cable to an hdmi and my desktop get fuck*d -- http://imgur.com/hPmuFM6
[04:18] <Bashing-om> !uuid
[04:19] <bubbasaures> !language| slainr
[04:19] <SrPx> seems like nobody knows right? :(
[04:19] <niceties> SrPx: does it see all the partitions
[04:19] <bonesdds> Have done blkid, lsusb, lspci...Have all the info other than how to fix it and will now try ObrienDave's suggestion.
[04:20] <SrPx> I guess so, I don't understand though. I recognize my main partition (300+ gb) and the partition I reservd for ubuntu (~100gb) but there are other (150mb~) partitions I don't recognize
[04:20] <niceties> bonesdds: don't matter
[04:20] <slainr> I dont what to solve this display problem
[04:20] <slainr> I dont know*
[04:20] <Bashing-om> bonesdds: If UUIDs are inplace the name 'sda1' in booting does not matter .
[04:21] <niceties> SrPx: is it Windows 7
[04:21] <bonesdds> Using UUID mounting, so it all works fine. Maybe it's just my OCD, but would like it back to the way it was.
[04:22] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, there are not drive letter assignments like in windows. It does not matter what the device's handle is in /dev/sd* ... the linux kernel knows where the devices are and maps them as it needs to
[04:22] <niceties> SrPx: and is the machine use bios or efi
[04:23] <bubbasaures> niceties, its a mac
[04:23] <Bashing-om> bonesdds: Good explanation also : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 <-bodhi.zazen -Understanding fstab .
[04:23] <bonesdds> I realize all that and thank you for trying to help. Call it intellectual challenge that I want to figure out. Should be a way to delay the mounting of the usb externals until the root drive gets mounted. Will read link. Thanks.
[04:23] <niceties> SrPx: Are you using the 64 bit version of ubuntu
[04:24] <SrPx> niceties: it is a macbook pro
[04:24] <SrPx> yes
[04:24] <SrPx> the one you download from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[04:25] <bonesdds> Yeah, read this last night. Didn't see anything that would "fix" what I'm describing.
[04:25] <niceties> SrPx: You need refind program.
[04:26] <bonesdds> old 32 bit hp proliant server, headless, so ssh and command line are only options.
[04:26] <SrPx> I have it....
[04:27] <niceties> SrPx: install it. Shut off computer. Not a restart.
[04:28] <bonesdds> Based on recent comments, it doesn't sound like changing bios settings will change anything.
[04:29] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, no, bios doesn't affect the OS once the OS has taken over. I can understand it's a little annoying that what should be your main drive might not be listed as /dev/sda; however it is also why the documentation recommends not using the device path to reference a drive anymore
[04:30] <niceties> SrPx: then start up into osx. Using disk utility shrink the drive enough to install ubuntu but don't partition.
[04:31] <SrPx> niceties: hm
[04:31] <pragmaticenigma> bonesdds, what is likely happening is the UUID generated for the external is alphanumerically listed before the internal drives, which is possibly why the ordering ends up that way
[04:32] <niceties> SrPx: Did you instal refind
[04:32] <bonesdds> I'll right, I'll give up trying to make things the way I want them and accept the way they are. Thanks for the info.
[04:32] <SrPx> yess
[04:33] <bonesdds> Alright. (sp?)
[04:34] <niceties> SrPx: Did you power off not a restart. After starting did refind boot manger show.
[04:34] <SrPx> yes
[04:34] <SrPx> not now, a few moments ago, it is working
[04:35] <bonesdds> It's not the order of UUIDs. Good idea though. The first digit is 0,4,7,9 of the four drives and the a,b,c,d don't follow the order.
[04:35] <niceties> SrPx: don't boot ubuntu USB yet. Boot into osx and use disk utility to shrink the drive. Don't partition it.
[04:35] <bonesdds> Thanks anyway. Good night.
[04:36] <SrPx> I have done that :(
[04:37] <SrPx> niceties: is this what you mean? http://imgur.com/oyDA8aP (I already had the other partition before...)
[04:37] <eatyourguitar> is this arm9 box supported? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA40U1PS3671
[04:38] <eatyourguitar> I read this https://gist.github.com/vvuk/4986933
[04:38] <eatyourguitar> but it might be old by now
[04:38] <niceties> SrPx: so. Hd2 what is that. Is that an empty partition?
[04:38] <eatyourguitar> it shares the mali GPU with the chrome stuff
[04:39] <shponguluma> Can a samsung tab run ubuntu?
[04:41] <niceties> SrPx: do you have 2 hard drives. Or is hd2 a partition.
[04:41] <SrPx> niceties: it is a partition
[04:41] <SrPx> I have one hard drive
 yes, a samsung tablet can run Ubuntu. Search youtube for examples. Also try searching the XDA Developer site.
[04:42] <niceties> SrPx: Did you make it to install ubuntu on
[04:42] <SrPx> yes... before you asked
[04:42] <shponguluma> happyfr0gg yeah ive seen but only trough vnc..
[04:43] <niceties> SrPx: Just delete it
[04:43] <niceties> Leave the empty space unformatted SrPx
[04:44] <SrPx> ... okay
[04:44] <SrPx> now what
 I don't recall which websites but at one time I think I read that there was a way to dual boot Android and Ubuntu on a tablet.
[04:45] <shponguluma> Yeah that im aware of
[04:45] <niceties> Ubuntu can't see Mac formatted partitions during install. SrPx
[04:45] <SrPx> every site asked me to do it :( but ok
[04:46] <SrPx> so now I just reboot and it will see it?
[04:47] <niceties> Yes after removing that partition. Leave the empty space. Reboot with USB install.
[04:47] <niceties> Yes after removing that partition. Leave the empty space. Reboot with USB install.  SrPx
[04:47] <SrPx> okaay
[04:47] <happyfr0gg> Search Google for ways of creating a virtual machine of Ubuntu, Windows, etc inside the Android operating system and then install and run the Android app: aFreeRDP (http://www.freerdp.com/)
[04:47] <SrPx> ill try it then, brb
 aFreeRDP allows you to use Windows 7 and Ubuntu specific apps as if they were installed locally on the Android system.

[05:00] <vbgunz> hmm, seems something I've done may have fixed the problem
[05:00] <vbgunz> damn was it bad
[05:01] <niceties> wad: nautilus-image-converter works inside the folder.
[05:02]  * wad tries that one
[05:03] <imnichol> I'm looking for a way to see if this bug is reported in launchpad: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737840#c4
[05:05] <wad> Hmm. So I've installed that nautilus extension, but I don't know how to use it.
[05:06] <niceties> wad: I think phatch has most features.
[05:07] <wad> I'm just looking for a quick way to rotate and crop a few thousand photos.
[05:07] <wad> By hand, each one needs to be cropped rotated or cropped differently.
[05:08] <niceties> wad: http://coalaweb.com/images/Docs/ubuntu/bulk-resize/Selection_373.png
[05:09] <wad> Hmm. Maybe I need to reboot? I installed that nautilus thing, but I don't get that menu when I right-click.
[05:09] <wad> I'll try gthumb.
[05:10] <niceties> wad: Did you install phatch
[05:11] <wad> Not yet. Trying gthumb now. :)
[05:17] <SuperLag_> I have a W530 with the switching graphics. What can I do to force the Nvidia to kick in, just so I can know the switching works like it's supposed to.
[05:18] <wad> gthumb lets me crop, but it errors out when I try to save the cropped image. >_<
[05:18] <wad> And there is no "sort by similarity".
[05:18]  * wad tries phatch
[05:20] <jamie_> hey i was on earlier and had to go, I was haveing a problem with upstart for some odd reason taking up most of my processor
[05:21] <jamie_> SuperLag_: have you already restated the computer
[05:21] <jamie_> never mind just reread that never mind
[05:22] <wad> Fail. Just going to do them by hand with gimp./
[05:22] <niceties> SuperLag: that's a hybrid gpu
[05:22] <SuperLag> jamie_: it's running the Intel card, right now... I want to make it switch to the Nvidia, but I'm not sure how to do it.
[05:22] <jamie_> SuperLag: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[05:24] <blackyboy> Now i have Ubuntu 13.04 i want to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS how can i do ? Will it upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS if i use sudo do-release-upgrade or it will upgrade to 14.10 ?
[05:25] <niceties> wad: http://photobatch.wikidot.com/install
[05:26] <niceties> wad: http://photobatch.stani.be/download/index.html
[05:27] <niceties> Use that wad . It might be newer than what's on ubuntu server
[05:27] <jamie_> SuperLag: did that answer you question
[05:27] <bubbasaures> blackyboy, You. have to use a eol upgrade and  go up one by one to 14.04
[05:27] <bubbasaures> !eol
[05:28] <blackyboy> ok
[05:29] <bubbasaures> blackyboy, I would just be backed up is all, if you go the upgrade route.
[05:29] <jamie_> oh, and can someone help me with this.... i almost forgot... for some odd reason my computer at times will suddenly start to put all the cpu power into upstart and makes my machine start to freeze
[05:30] <blackyboy> bubbasaures: any document for this process ?
[05:30] <bubbasaures> blackyboy, Oh yeah, i's in that bot message above on eol
[05:30] <bubbasaures> it's*
[05:30] <blackyboy> Okay
[05:31] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Your not swapping when this happens?
[05:32] <jamie_> well for the most part is happening when using gimp
[05:32] <jamie_> I have the syslog in the general time frame http://paste.ubuntu.com/9759351/
[05:34] <bubbasaures> jamie_,  what is your cpu and memory?
[05:34] <jamie_> bubbasaures:  do you mean the type and amount of ram
[05:34] <niceties> jamie_: do you have any program or background process running when CPU spikes
[05:34] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Yeah.
[05:34] <jamie_> bubbasaures: I5 quad core and 4gb
[05:35] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Thanks, ubuntu in it's stock swap state will start swapping a little more than using half of that 4 gigs, you can change this with swappiness.
[05:36] <jamie_> bubbasaures: what is the problem occuring
[05:36] <jamie_> and I tend to uber-multi task
[05:36] <jamie_> never ran into this problem before
[05:37] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Try setting the swappiness lower so it takes longer to kick in, I think your probably just overusing it.
[05:37] <niceties> jamie_: disable swap if you have enough memory.
[05:37] <jamie_> how much would be concidder enough
[05:38] <niceties> jamie_: 4-8 gb
[05:38] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Do you know what I'm talking about?
[05:38] <jamie_> bubbasaures: yes
[05:38] <jamie_> it currently says i am using 10 mb of swap out of 3949 mb
[05:39] <bubbasaures> jamie_, This is a guess we or you have to like do the research dude. ; )
[05:39] <niceties> Open system monitor jamie_ . See how much swap space is used.
[05:39] <jamie_> I just said that
[05:39] <bubbasaures> jamie_, So you have changed the swap
[05:39] <jamie_> I have htop running
[05:40] <jamie_> nope, its has been at 10 since i started htop
[05:41] <niceties> jamie_: also system monitor you can sort processes to see if any are spiking the CPU. It may not be the swap.
[05:41] <jamie_> it is upstart, using about 24-40 percent
[05:42] <bubbasaures> jamie_, run this command and pastebin all of it cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[05:42] <bubbasaures> actually you can just post it
[05:42] <jamie_> 60
[05:43] <niceties> jamie_: when did this start happening. Did you reboot.
[05:43] <bubbasaures> jamie_, That is your swappiness, not sure what the "10" you mention is, change the swapiness to say 10 itself.
[05:43] <jamie_> the 10 was 10 mb of the swap being used
[05:44] <bubbasaures> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq read this on changing the swappiness
[05:44] <bubbasaures> jamie_, I never asked you how much swap used, on a soinning HD swapping will make it freeze
[05:44] <bubbasaures> spinning*
[05:45] <jamie_> miss read sorry
[05:46] <bubbasaures> jamie_, I missread as well, I was not sure we were even communicating. ;)
[05:47] <niceties> jamie_: sometimes swap partition fails to get mounted at boot
[05:47] <jamie_> i dont know..... I use linux on a daily basis and have been testing since 9.... and have never ran into this problem.... and have been running 14.10 for several months now... and this just started today
[05:47] <bubbasaures> jamie_, I use a conky to watch this stuff myself, there are 1000's out there people have coded, a thread on the ubuntu forums of them.
[05:47] <jamie_> and i have restarted twice
[05:48] <jamie_> nice.... I kinda almost fell behind on ubuntu due to fxos
[05:48] <bubbasaures> jamie_, If your swapping on a spinning HD you will see a slow down, or freeze or even what seems to be a crash.,
[05:48] <niceties> jamie_: Did you open system monitor and see if swap space is being used.
[05:49] <jamie_> yes there is 10mb of 3900 mb being used
[05:49] <bubbasaures> SSD here not even noticeable when swapping
[05:50] <niceties> jamie_: then it's not swap causing issue.
[05:50] <akurilin> Hey guys, am I correctly understanding that a default 14.04 server does not run ntpdate by default?
[05:50] <akurilin> on a regular basis
[05:50] <jamie_> Yea... i really need to get a new hd... my good one broke about a year ago.... and i just shoved what I had in it... 75gb hd...... and i updated the rest of the computer and forgot the hd
[05:50] <bubbasaures> jamie_, If you change the swappiness you would not be swapping with the exact same use is all. We have gotten stuck however on a simple test and a guess really, but probably the issue.
[05:51] <jamie_> I dont know for sure... i can run test for yall to help diagnose..... i just really need this to work..... I work on my computer and go to school on my computer
[05:52] <niceties> jamie_: something else is firing upstart to crush your CPU
[05:52] <jamie_> is there something yall know of i can run to further diagnose.......
[05:53] <jamie_> I can work all day from errors.... Im not sure if its not telling me what is going on
[05:57] <bubbasaures> jamie_, You could just turn the swap off and see if you clear up, before changing anything, the memory is about 60% use is all before swapping.
[05:58] <jamie_> you want me to set the swappieness to 0
[05:59] <bubbasaures> jamie_, That does not shut off swap, that link tells you this I believe, from the command line or gparted to turn it off.
[06:00] <jamie_> okay one sec
[06:01] <bubbasaures> sudo swapoff -a
[06:01] <jamie_> is that a temp change
[06:01] <dan_> hi
[06:01] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Yeah just turns it off, you can turn it back on
[06:01] <Guest78436> is there any way to install 32bit version of stdbuf on 64 bit ubuntu?
[06:02] <jamie_> okay
[06:02] <Guest78436> trying to install coreutils:i386 will uninstall the regular coreutils
[06:02] <Guest78436> which seems bad
[06:03] <bubbasaures> jamie_, back on is  sudo swapon -a
[06:05] <dan____> or alternately, get the included stdbuf to work on 32 bit programs
[06:06] <jamie_> but also on the other part, will it disable the swap for hibernation
[06:06] <bubbasaures> jamie_, when of yes. this is just a test.
[06:06] <bubbasaures> off*
[06:06] <bubbasaures> back on and your good to hibernate
[06:07] <jamie_> okay im gonna do what i was doing when it kept freezing
[06:07] <bubbasaures> jamie_, What we are doing is isolating if the swapping is the issue.
[06:07] <jamie_> okay give me a few minutes
[06:07] <bubbasaures> jamie_, No problem take your time I will be here. ;)
[06:08] <rjsalts> with nfsv4 the nolock and local_lock parameters to mount are meaningless, correct?
[06:09] <jzp113> hi vsftpd stop/waiting what happen?
[06:09] <bubbasaures> funny thing multi tasking has been disproved statistically as faster or even equal to not doing it
[06:09] <bubbasaures> no faster*
[06:10] <Nathan2055> What happened to Wubi?
[06:10] <bubbasaures> Nathan2055, got past being supported is all.
[06:11] <Nathan2055> Is there a way to do a simple dual-boot install like that?
[06:11] <bubbasaures> Nathan2055, A vm, or real dualboot, wubi was a file in windows.
[06:12] <bubbasaures> Nathan2055, even the developer of wubi said only use it for test in lieu of a dualboot.
[06:12]  * Nathan2055 shrugs
[06:12] <Nathan2055> Okay.
[06:12]  * bubbasaures ignores
[06:18] <strahm> why would someone use ubuntu over debian?
[06:19] <bubbasaures> strahm, Might get answers in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:19] <strahm> thanks.
[06:19] <bubbasaures> no prob
[06:20] <ICantCook> Hey guys, I screwed up my CA bundle in ubuntu 14.04
[06:20] <ICantCook> how can I reinstall the CA certificates?
[06:20] <ICantCook> tried this
[06:20] <ICantCook>  update-ca-certificates
[06:21] <ICantCook> Updating certificates in /etc/ssl/certs... 0 added, 0 removed; done.
[06:21] <jzp113> hi vsftpd stop/waiting what happen?
[06:33] <wachpwnski> I have a KVM that I didn't install any drivers that I know about on windows, but when I tap numlock twice on the keyboard it switches inputs, but on linux it does nothing. Is there some way I can send the key signal to the kvm on linux?
[06:34] <jamie_> bubbasaures: it all seems to be running fine now.... no spikes other than the normal
[06:34] <kernix> hey all
[06:35] <bubbasaures> hi kernix
[06:35] <kernix> bubbasaures: how are u ?
[06:35] <bubbasaures> good, good
[06:36] <bubbasaures> chillin watching charlie rose and playing with the cat
[06:37] <jamie_> bubbasaures: is there a way to set it to still be enable for hibernation
[06:37] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Cool, Turn the swap on and it will hibernate, you should just change the swappiness to 10 per the link\.
[06:38] <bubbasaures> sudo swapon -a
[06:38] <bubbasaures> will tuen it back on
[06:38] <jamie_> okay what exactly does that nuber mean.... it takes haveing only 10 percent of your ram left before using swap
[06:38] <MACscr> can i disable gpg checks fo a single repo like i can with yum repos?
[06:39] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Yeah to some extent yes a percentile, you have got it!!!
[06:39] <MACscr> i dont want to do it per check, i want to do it for all checks on that particular repo. its my private one
[06:39] <jamie_> okay... i need to do that through the actual doc using gedit
[06:40] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Yeah easiest I think in a edit gui and do the restart of that proc
[06:41] <jamie_> okay... sorry for the odd typing... i dont exacly have a q-markj or an apostrophie... i need a new keyboard for my laptop
[06:41] <andy__> Hi.
[06:41] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Heh, you are fine, one you set that new swap amount close it a restart with  sudo sysctl -p
[06:42] <jamie_> okay one sec
[06:42] <andy__> I pressed alt-w in xubuntu and it says that there is no default browser.
[06:43] <andy__> Google Chrome was my default.  I guess I could just reinstall it?
[06:43] <bubbasaures> andy__, Settings/Settings Manager/Preffered Applications
[06:43] <SrPx> didn't work quite well after all :(
[06:44] <SrPx> gpu on all the time so my fan was screaming thunders and the temperature increased to the point of burning my skin
[06:50] <andy__> Hi.
[06:51] <andy__> Hello again.
[06:51] <bubbasaures> andy__, Fixed?
[06:51] <kernix> hi andy__
[06:51] <andy__> I got it to work.
[06:51] <bubbasaures> ;) great
[06:51] <andy__> It says, "Your profile could not be opened correctly.
[06:51] <andy__> Some features may be unavailable.  Please check that the profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents."
[06:52] <andy__> I guess it is not fixed yet.
[06:52] <bubbasaures> andy__, again the key prompts
[06:52] <bubbasaures> ?
[06:55] <andy__> bubbasaures, I think you are referring to alt-W?  That works now.
[06:55] <bubbasaures> andy__, Yeah context is the key here.
[06:55] <andy__> I had to logout, and then log back in, and it worked.
[07:00] <jamie_> bubbasaures: okay it returned vm.swappiness=10
[07:01] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Great I think you set now.
[07:01] <bubbasaures> you're
[07:02] <jamie_> bubbasaures: thanks... now i need to head back to moznet...
[07:02] <blu3ski3s> hey guys, im sick of being on windows and having to cywin everything, but i also use windows app's alot. anyone running ubuntu + windows (vm)?
[07:02] <bubbasaures> jamie_, no prob.
[07:02] <jamie_> actually i think i will actually stick around here for a little and see if there is anything i can help with
[07:02] <bubbasaures> ;)
[07:03] <bubbasaures> blu3ski3s, The actual issue is more appropriate here. ;)
[07:04] <blu3ski3s> ok no problem, just wanted to discuss best solution, issues around having linux+windows (vm). no real issues just wanted people's experience/thoughts
[07:06] <jamie_> bubbasaures: odd question, what do you think of fxos
[07:07] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Not sure what it is.
[07:07] <jamie_> fire fox os
[07:07] <bubbasaures> jamie_, Have not checked it out.
[07:08] <jamie_> oh..... you should look into it
[07:08] <jamie_> its a phone not a computer os
[07:08] <bubbasaures> probably will I run just about everything once
[07:08] <bubbasaures> thought it was a phone yeah
[07:08] <jamie_> hey do you run the firefox browser
[07:08] <bubbasaures> yes
[07:09] <jamie_> well not too sure about the standard, but do you know how to use the addons
[07:10] <bubbasaures> jamie_, You would just add them from the addons tab or go to the website.
[07:10] <bubbasaures> both require a search in general.
[07:10] <jamie_> okay then, i can tell you how to set up the simulator if you want... its built into the browser not your computer
[07:11] <andy__> blu3ski3s, Have you tried installing windows in a vm yet?  It sounds interesting.
[07:11] <jamie_> andy__ its rather simple what do you want to know
[07:11] <bubbasaures> I'm fine thanks
[07:12] <jamie_> okay, just an offer, sorry auto thing with fxos
[07:12] <Ben64> jamie_: not really on topic here in #ubuntu
[07:13] <bubbasaures> jamie_, I'm just an armchair user, my computer is a pretty basic setup, I just run many OS is all.
[07:13] <jamie_> Ben64: okay.... sorry
[07:13] <coolstar> what's the minimum amount of RAM required to run Ubuntu Minimal?
[07:13] <coolstar> just need it to be able to run a DNS server and hostapd really
[07:14] <coolstar> and an OpenSSH server
[07:14] <coolstar> that's all really, no need for a GUI
[07:14] <jamie_> bubbasaures: its kinda an auto thing.... sorry, I do work for them
[07:14] <Ben64> coolmadmax: 192MB is listed as the recommended system requirements for server version
[07:14] <bubbasaures> ;) nice to have a job, anyway I'm gonna follow Ben64s' prompt
[07:15] <jamie_> bubbasaures: thats fine sorry
[07:15] <jamie_> sorry for the disturbance people i guess
[07:15] <andy__> jamie_, I was just wandering whether blu3ski3s had tried it yet.
[07:15] <coolstar> Ben64: hmm, I wonder how low I can push that RAM amount
[07:15] <jamie_> andy__: okay, sorry to intrude
[07:15] <Ben64> coolstar: what are you trying to run it on?
[07:16] <coolstar> Ben64: I'm trying to set up a WiFi network from my computer
[07:16] <coolstar> Ben64: but the Realtek Drivers are outdated and need 32 bit Ubuntu 13.04
[07:16] <coolstar> and my computer has 64 Bit Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Kernel 3.18 so it's too new :/
[07:16] <coolmadmax> Ben64, you talking to coolstar or to me?
[07:16] <Ben64> coolmadmax: oh sorry, tabbed you by mistake
[07:16] <coolstar> and I can't downgrade the kernel either because of the Haswell graphics
[07:17] <ghost_> hey guys, im wondering if my pc can run the newer ubuntu distro, how would i be able to know for sure?
[07:17] <jamie_> well on that note im gonna drop out of here and go back to moznet, se yall later
[07:17] <Ben64> coolstar: well 13.04 is definitely not supported here
[07:18] <coolstar> Ben64: which is why I'm putting it in a VM and not on my actual machine :P
[07:18] <coolstar> stupid Realtek drivers :(
[07:18] <bubbasaures> ghost_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements  does not hurt to test, sveral lighter desktops.
[07:18] <Ben64> coolstar: doesn't make any sense
[07:18] <sebsebseb> hi
[07:18] <coolstar> Ben64: ideally I'd run hostapd and the wifi network natively on Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit
[07:19] <jamie_> coolstar: try #ubuntu-offtopic\
[07:19] <coolstar> don't know how well it'd play nicely with my Edimax EW-7811Un though
[07:19] <jamie_> #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:19] <ghost_> ubbasaures: so far running lubuntu pretty snappy on 14.10
[07:20] <andy__> blu3ski3s, Have you tried the app store that is in Linux?
[07:21] <jamie_> well on a older computer set to originally run run vista with a duo core and had to run lubuntu 12.04
[07:22] <bubbasaures> ghost_, you can just install other desktops if you want
[07:26] <ghost_> bubbasaures: ill try it out see what result i get (:
[07:26] <bubbasaures> that's the spirit

[07:46] <niytro> hello all =)
[07:47] <niytro> im currently running live lubuntu disc because the encrypted install failed on a known bug saying unsafe swap detected, there is a workaround with the swapoff command but I would like to have everything encrypted so could someone help me with setting up partitions
[07:48] <cfhowlett> niytro, workaround; switch off /swap, set up the encrypt, then /swapon
[07:49] <niytro> cfhowlett, do i setup something manually?
[07:49] <niytro> cfhowlett, im still n00b with linux sorry
[07:50] <cfhowlett> niytro, here's what I'd do based on your description; set up your partitions including an empty space for the swap, i.e. DO NOT SET THE SWAP during install.  get things where you want/encrypted.  THEN do a post-installation swap
[07:50] <cfhowlett> !swap | niytro
[07:52] <niytro> cfhowlett, sry I disconnected for a sec, I read that its better to encrypt the swap as well so the key cant be taken from the data
[07:53] <cfhowlett> !swap | niytro
[07:53] <cfhowlett> niytro, here's what I'd do based on your description; set up your partitions including an empty space for the swap, i.e. DO NOT SET THE SWAP during install.  get things where you want/encrypted.  THEN do a post-installation swap
[07:54] <niytro> cfhowlett, i dont know how to do that and im barely understanding
[07:54] <niytro> cfhowlett, so i swapoff then run encrypted installation, then do something with it post install?
[07:54] <cfhowlett> niytro, install as normal.  DO NOT set a swap partition.  DO set some empty space aside for swap
[07:58] <BalTun> hello, men. I need some help. Problem is that sometimes in XFCE changing language function is getting down - doesn't work and begins to work only after restarting whole system. How I can restart deamon which do this function without restarting?
[07:59] <niytro> cfhowlett, i really dont know what im doing here so is there maybe a link or resource with a step by step?
[07:59] <cfhowlett> niytro, boot ubuntu USB.  "Install ubuntu"  "something else"  [for manual options]
[08:00] <niytro> cfhowlett, okay well im in the live disc now
[08:00] <cfhowlett> niytro, perfect. :)
[08:01] <niytro> cfhowlett, i have to reinstall unfortunately, i ran chkrootkit about half an hour ago and it said /usr/init was infected with a "suckit" rootkit... =(
[08:01] <niytro> cfhowlett, it was recommended to me to install encrypted so thats why im doing this
[08:01] <cfhowlett> niytro, understood.
[08:02] <niytro> cfhowlett, or rather why its important i figure it out
[08:02] <niytro> cfhowlett, im running the install
[08:02] <cfhowlett> niytro, 14.04??
[08:02] <niytro> cfhowlett, yea but the point release
[08:02] <niytro> cfhowlett, lubuntu 14.04.1
[08:02] <cfhowlett> niytro, perfect!
[08:03] <niytro> cfhowlett, why perfect?
[08:03] <bubbasaures> niytro, most likely a false positive.
[08:03] <cfhowlett> niytro, I can mirror the install on my side via virtualbox
[08:04] <niytro> cfhowlett, okay great
[08:04] <DrManhattan> I have upgrade my samba to version 4.1.6 but Im still getting the talloc memory leak error. Is there any way I can keep samba password sync to user accounts and get rid of this memory error?
[08:05] <DrManhattan> no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[08:05] <OerHeks> DrManhattan, on Utopic, samba current is 4.1.11
[08:05] <OerHeks> Maybe worth to upgrade
[08:05] <bubbasaures> niytro, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server-bugs/2014-April/111700.html
[08:05] <DrManhattan> I am on 14.04
[08:06] <niytro> bubbasaures, upon suckit rootkit search i see someone saying false positive cause of chkrootkit problem
[08:06] <niytro> cfhowlett, okay im in the partition manager thing
[08:06] <niytro> bubbasaures, either way i want to encrypt my stuff anyway
[08:06] <cfhowlett> niytro, you should have partitions already, right?
[08:06] <bubbasaures> niytro, Yeah and encryption only stops the HD accessed once up your as open a not encrypted is all.
[08:07] <bubbasaures> your up
[08:07] <bubbasaures> carry on you have great help niytro
[08:08] <brucelee> if netsat -l shows this: tcp6       0      0 [::]:9200               [::]:*                  LISTEN
[08:08] <brucelee> but not *:9200
[08:08] <niytro> bubbasaures, cfhowlett okay but listen before we go any farther, to back track just a bit more for the reason i did the rootkit test... i was in firefox after just switching from chrome and a new tab appeared out of nowhere and at the bottom it said waiting for centrexity.com
[08:08] <brucelee> am i supposed to be able to connect to it via 127.0.0.1:9200
[08:09] <cfhowlett> niytro, irrelevant.  you're reinstalling.  I can help with that.
[08:09] <Ben64> brucelee: connect to what? you gotta give some context
[08:09] <cfhowlett> niytro, note: I'm no rootkit expert and have never (?) had one
[08:09] <niytro> cfhowlett, okay i have sda1 and sda5
[08:09] <cfhowlett> niytro, paste a picture.
[08:10] <niytro> cfhowlett, eh trying
[08:10] <omer> rzeka: I would push since you might have to take the production down for a few seconds to take sql backups and etc.
[08:10] <niytro> cfhowlett, i took a ss but how do i post
[08:10] <cfhowlett> niytro, imgur
[08:10] <cfhowlett> !paste | niytro
[08:11] <brucelee> Ben64: what i mean is if netstat doesnt show that its listening on *:<port> but its listening on :::<port> meaning its listening on an ipv6 address (correct me if im wrong here), then i shouldn't be able to connect to 127.0.0.1 <port> right? because thats an ipv4 address right?
[08:11] <DrManhattan> OerHeks, is there any way to use the 14.10 sanba package on 14.04?
[08:11] <brucelee> Ben64: let me know if thats still uncelar
[08:11] <Ben64> brucelee: possibly
[08:11] <Ben64> DrManhattan: no
[08:11] <DrManhattan> damnit - SAMBA
[08:12] <DrManhattan> Ben64, so basically the "stable, long term support" release has a known bug with no fix and there's no ETA for a fix and no way to fix it ourselves?
[08:12] <OerHeks> DrManhattan, nope, that is why i suggested to upgrade
[08:12] <Ben64> DrManhattan: i run samba here on 14.04 with zero problems
[08:13] <DrManhattan> Ben64, sorry, but this is a known bug, it's reported all over the place. I get it on a fresh install and apt-get upgrade does not help
[08:13] <niytro> cfhowlett, working, sorry livedisc is slow
[08:14] <cfhowlett> niytro, no worries
[08:14] <rzeka> And is it possible now to check, on receiving machine, if rsync is done?
[08:14] <Ben64> DrManhattan: dunno man, i have no problems, computer is on 24/7, samba is connected 24/7
[08:14] <DrManhattan> Ben64, well, all those reports must be false then
[08:14] <Ben64> DrManhattan: i'm just telling you what's happening here
[08:14] <niytro> cfhowlett, http://imgur.com/E809YRZ
[08:14] <DrManhattan> I punch that error into google and get About 3,420 results (0.38 seconds
[08:15] <DrManhattan> so good for you but it's a known bug and no one seems to be addressing it
[08:15] <Ben64> DrManhattan: you can punch almost anything into google and get thousands of results...
[08:15] <cfhowlett> niytro, is this an HDD?  do you have any other storage devices?
[08:15] <cfhowlett> niytro, and is this a server?
[08:15] <niytro> cfhowlett, its older hardware thats why im on lxde
[08:15] <niytro> cfhowlett, now its a laptop for personal use
[08:16] <niytro> cfhowlett, no*
[08:16] <Ben64> DrManhattan: wheres the bug listed
[08:16] <DrManhattan> Anyone else? Memory leak in Samba? Any way to upgrade?
[08:16] <cfhowlett> niytro, 3 questions, 3 answers: ...
[08:16] <DrManhattan> Ben64, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CEEQFjAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2Fbugs%2F1257186&ei=Nce4VL7mO4azoQTAqILoAw&usg=AFQjCNEON7O_l3XTWqBOURrFJF9lbb9b8w&sig2=vW7T21W2XI2wL3_Zmst4kg&bvm=bv.83829542,d.cGU
[08:16] <niytro> cfhowlett, no, no, no
[08:17]  * cfhowlett loves it when he gets clear info
[08:17] <niytro> lol
[08:17] <cfhowlett> niytro, OK well ... wait 1
[08:17] <niytro> cfhowlett, i appreciate your help
[08:18] <cfhowlett> niytro, is there any data you need to save in those partitions?
[08:18] <Ben64> DrManhattan: a fix is listed there under #14
[08:18] <niytro> cfhowlett, no
[08:18] <cfhowlett> niytro, brilliant.  delete /sda 1 and sda 5
[08:19] <niytro> cfhowlett, done
[08:19] <DrManhattan> Ben64, that isn't a fix. It disables password sync with user accounts
[08:19] <Ben64> DrManhattan: yep, stops the problem
[08:19] <DrManhattan> Ben64, not a fix, sorry.
[08:19] <cfhowlett> niytro, wait 1 ... screenshot coming
[08:19] <Ben64> fixes the problem, yet isn't a fix?
[08:20] <DrManhattan> Ben64, please stop trolling.
[08:20] <Ben64> DrManhattan: have a nice day, you may want to work on your attitude
[08:20] <DrManhattan> Ben64, you were no help at all. You may want to work on yours.
[08:20] <rohankanojia420> Hello to all...
[08:21] <DrManhattan> Anyone else? Memory leak issue in samba? Any kind of ETA for a fix?
[08:21] <DrManhattan> maybe I should ask in devs
[08:22] <rohankanojia420> Can somebody tell me difference between Gtk+ and Qt???
[08:22] <OerHeks> DrManhattan, they would suggest to upgrade, i presume
[08:22] <DrManhattan> doubtful. This is a long term support release, supposedly.
[08:23]  * bubbasaures can't stop rolf
[08:23] <Ben64> DrManhattan: if you actually read the bug page you linked to, there are even more solutions and an answer to your other questions
[08:24] <cfhowlett> niytro, http://oi58.tinypic.com/4hfteg.jpg
[08:24] <DrManhattan> Ben64, Thanks but they don't work AND they break things. Perhaps if you read the page you keep insisting is full of fixes...
[08:24] <Ben64> DrManhattan: i seriously doubt you've read it
[08:24] <DrManhattan> Ben64, anyhow, what happened to my "have a good day", etc. Thanks but no thanks to you sie.
[08:24] <DrManhattan> dire
[08:24] <DrManhattan> sir
[08:25] <DrManhattan> Ben64, you are trolling. Please stop.
[08:25] <cfhowlett> niytro, /dev/sda1    is mount (OS filesystem)/ /dev/sda5 is the free, unformatted space at present for the futuure /swap, /dev/sda6 is the home.  resize partitions for your system
[08:25] <Ben64> DrManhattan: not trolling, not appreciating your attitude at all
[08:25] <DrManhattan> Ben64, you are now ignored.
[08:25]  * cfhowlett thinks "Can't we all get along?"
[08:26] <Ben64> he wants to be hand held to the solution, and i'm not about that
[08:26] <cfhowlett> niytro, awake???
[08:26] <niytro> cfhowlett, im trying to figure size for the partitions
[08:26] <cfhowlett> niytro, for OS: 8, swap = RAM x 2, /home = whatever's left
[08:28] <cfhowlett> niytro, by comparison: i've got xubuntu ... slightly heavier than lubuntu.  ON top of that, I've got ubuntustudio AND all the ubnuntustudio suggested alternatives.  Full load: 11 gbs.
[08:32] <DrManhattan> I have upgrade my samba to version 4.1.6 but Im still getting the talloc memory leak error. Is there any way I can keep samba password sync to user accounts and get rid of this memory error?
[08:32] <DrManhattan> no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[08:32] <niytro> cfhowlett, almost done sry
[08:32] <cfhowlett> niytro, standing by ...
[08:33] <niytro> cfhowlett, http://imgur.com/mnKvnvF
[08:34] <TheVerge> Hey
[08:34] <cfhowlett> niytro, by jove, I've think you've got it!
[08:34] <TheVerge> I have Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 installed and have an AMD 5450 GPU installed
[08:34] <TheVerge> I changed to the propriety driver and now the system wont boot :(
[08:34] <Ben64> TheVerge: you might have to use the open source driver with a gpu that old
[08:35] <TheVerge> Hey Ben64
[08:35] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, that happened to me when I did a dist-upgrade on my kernel
[08:35] <TheVerge> how did you fix it DrManhattan
[08:36] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, I used the previous kernel
[08:36] <Ben64> Not really relevant to the issue here though
[08:36] <niytro> cfhowlett, im f&$%#*@ proud of myself
[08:37] <DrManhattan> I may have reinstalled to make sure I didn't have any random packages on there, but when I booted after the dist-upgrade, it was all bad. I couldn't get anything functional out of my 7870
[08:37] <niytro> cfhowlett, ive really never done that though
[08:37] <cfhowlett> niytro, as well you should be.
[08:37] <niytro> cfhowlett, haha okay well i shall proceed...
[08:37] <TheVerge> Ben64, Is there some magic button I can hold while it boots to enter a recovery mode type screen
[08:37] <DrManhattan> I now use that system as my HTPC, works like a champ
[08:37] <Ben64> TheVerge: spam the shift key when its booting to get the grub menu to pop up, then you can choose recovery
[08:38] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, have you tried selecting one of the previous kernels from the grub boot menu?
[08:39] <niytro> cfhowlett, im assuming i when i set swap after installation it can be encrypted?
[08:39] <cfhowlett> niytro, as I understand it, yet
[08:39] <cfhowlett> *yes*&
[08:39] <niytro> okay
[08:39] <niytro> cfhowlett, moving forward then
[08:40] <DrManhattan> I have upgraded my samba to version 4.1.6 but Im still getting the talloc memory leak error. Is there any way I can keep samba password sync to user accounts and get rid of this memory error? no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[08:40] <TheVerge> Shift key isn't working on reboot. It POST's etc, ask if i want to enter setup or PXE boot and then I just get a flashing underscore
[08:40] <Ben64> TheVerge: there is a pretty narrow window in which that works
[08:41] <TheVerge> I was pressing it from the very start of the boot
[08:41] <TheVerge> reminded me of track and field lol
[08:41] <DrManhattan> lol
[08:41] <Ben64> i'm just saying, mash it harder! :D and use the left one
[08:41] <DrManhattan> I used to love the javelin throw
[08:42] <DrManhattan> there was another one, same theme but different games, and I got very good at the high dive
[08:42] <niytro> cfhowlett, im going to duckduckgo encrypting swap, maybe i can read the right article so you dont have to hand-hold
[08:42] <cfhowlett> !swap | niytro,
[08:43] <cfhowlett> niytro, actually, pretty sure that if you add partitions under an encrypted systems, new partitions inherit the encrypted protection
[08:43] <niytro> cfhowlett, oh okay.. makes sense
[08:44] <cfhowlett> niytro, anywayz, seems like you've got momentum.  best of luck to you.
[08:45] <niytro> cfhowlett, cant thank you enough
[08:45] <TheVerge> Shift aint working  :(
[08:45] <Ben64> niytro: type this by itself in here then..... no quotes...  "!cookie | cfhowlett"
[08:45] <cfhowlett> niytro, no need.  pay it forward.  :)
[08:45] <niytro> Ben64, lol thats a sarcastic cookie
[08:46] <Ben64> no its real!
[08:46] <niytro> cfhowlett, heard
[08:46] <cfhowlett> niytro, I heard.
[08:47] <niytro> cfhowlett, you know im entering user information and there is only the option to encrypt home folder. Im assuming this isnt the same as encrypting the whole installation?
[08:48] <francesco_> hi
[08:48] <DrManhattan> I have upgraded my samba to version 4.1.6 but Im still getting the talloc memory leak error. Is there any way I can keep samba password sync to user accounts and get rid of this memory error? no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[08:48] <francesco_> !list
[08:48] <EriC^^> hi francesco_
[08:48] <cfhowlett> niytro, nope.  /home only.  you can encrypt the whole thing.  might be worth considering installation >>> encryption >>> /swap        workflow
[08:49] <TheVerge> Am I goosed then Ben64?
[08:49] <niytro> cfhowlett, eh.. yea I wanted to encrypt dee whole ting. duckduckgo time?
[08:49] <Ben64> TheVerge: can you do CTRL+ALT+F1 after ubuntu boots
[08:50] <cfhowlett> !ecrpytfs | niytro,
[08:50] <cfhowlett> niytro, man ecryptfs will inform you
[08:51] <EriC^^> niytro: choose lvm + encryption
[08:51] <EriC^^> if you're at the user creation, you'll have to reinstall
[08:51] <TheVerge> No Ben64
[08:52] <niytro> EriC^^, unfortunately lubuntu 14.04.1 has a bug where encrypted install fails
[08:52] <niytro> EriC^^, 14.10 too
[08:52] <DrManhattan> I have upgraded my samba to version 4.1.6 but Im still getting the talloc memory leak error. Is there any way I can keep samba password sync to user accounts and get rid of this memory error? no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
[08:54] <TheVerge> Ben64, am I going to have to do a full reinstall?
[08:56] <Ben64> TheVerge: you just need to hit shift at the right time
[08:56] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, I did, eventually
[08:56] <Ben64> TheVerge: or if you have an install cd, you can edit the file and make the menu actually appear for a set number of seconds
[08:57] <TheVerge> I keep trying Ben64 and no joy :-(
[08:57] <TheVerge> Now this is more like it Ben64
[08:57] <TheVerge> I like this idea
[08:57] <TheVerge> Let me get the DVD
[08:57] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, good luck.
[08:58] <dammit123> hi, how do i find all available vesions of a package? `apt-show-versions -a ...` only shows the current version
[09:00] <OerHeks> DrManhattan, as far as i understand, the fix with 4.1.11 will be applied in 14.04.2
[09:00] <Ben64> OerHeks: i tried, he got mad and ignored me, good luck
[09:00] <DrManhattan> when is the ETA for 14.04.2?
[09:00] <OerHeks> april '15
[09:01] <TheVerge> WooHoo no idea why but this time on restart it's booted as normal Ben64
[09:01] <DrManhattan> Jesus H christ - so production systems just suffer from a memory leak until April
[09:01] <DJones> DrManhattan: 5th February according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule
[09:01] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, congrats.
[09:01] <DrManhattan> DJones, thank you - I can definitely wait 2 weeks.
[09:02] <DrManhattan> 2.5, whatever
[09:02] <OerHeks> oh, my bad, i was thinking of the 15.04 release
[09:02] <DrManhattan> TheVerge, did you do anything different this time?
[09:04] <Ben64> TheVerge: interesting
[09:04] <gr33n7007h> dammit123, maybe try: `apt-cache madison <pkgname>`
[09:04] <bimma> ciao!
[09:04] <bimma> i've a quesion for you :D
[09:04] <bimma> I would mount via fstab a windows network share with  possibility to change permission, with chmod, of the subfolder... with cifs is not possible...
[09:05] <dammit123> gr33n7007h: also only shows the current version
[09:05] <Ben64> bimma: you asked the same thing in #ubuntu-offtopic and already received the answer...
[09:05] <DrManhattan> bimma, I don't think Unix file permissions mean anything to Windows hosts
[09:05] <Ben64> err.. #ubuntu-server
[09:05] <gr33n7007h> dammit123, sorry, don't know then :(
[09:06] <Ben64> dammit123: apt-cache show <package> ?
[09:06] <dammit123> Ben64: nope
[09:06] <Ben64> dammit123: works here
[09:07] <dammit123> Ben64: this works? apt-cache show libstdc++6 | grep 4\.9
[09:08] <dammit123> im looking for libstdc++6 4.9, cause firefox 34 depends on it >.<*
[09:08] <dammit123> (cause firefox 35 broke selenium)
[09:09] <Ben64> well i have 4.8, so no, it doesn't return 4.9
[09:09] <dammit123> well, found it thought browsing the repos manually... libstdc++6_4.9.1-16ubuntu6_amd64
[09:09] <Ben64> sounds like you're on the road to breaking your install
[09:09] <EriC^^> dammit123: apt-cache search libstdc++6 | grep 4\.9
[09:09] <dammit123> Ben64: and i was looking for a solution to find all available versions of a package
[09:10] <dammit123> Ben64: yeah, might be. but i need to get these test working...
[09:11] <dammit123> i wonder why firefox 34 even depends on libstdc++6 4.9 and then it got downgraded to 4.8...
[09:11] <Ben64> dammit123: what version of ubuntu are you on
[09:11] <dammit123> 14.04 LTS
[09:11] <Ben64> because 4.9 isn't on 14.04
[09:13] <dammit123> must have been
[09:13] <dammit123> apt-get install firefox=34.0+build2-0ubuntu2 -> http://ix.io/fNo
[09:13] <Ben64> nope, and firefox 34 requires libstdc++6 >=4.6
[09:14] <dammit123> hmm
[09:14] <Ben64> then sounds like you've already succeeded at breaking your install
[09:14] <dammit123> i doubt
[09:15] <Ben64> considering libstdc++6 4.9 isn't in 14.04, i'm fairly confident
[09:15] <Ben64> dammit123: what is the output of "apt-cache policy firefox"
[09:16] <dammit123> how did you check to which libstdc++6 firefox 34 depends on?
[09:17] <dammit123> Ben64: http://ix.io/fNp
[09:18] <Stanley00> dammit123: * ldd "$(which firefox)" * will list that
[09:19] <Ben64> dammit123: you must have some weird repository stuff going on
[09:19] <gr33n7007h> dammit123, sudo apt-get install whohas && whohas -d Ubuntu libstdc++
[09:19] <gr33n7007h> afk
[09:20] <mihael_k33hl> Hi, I've installed Ubuntu 14, and my google chrome keeps on freezing, even though I have enough memory free as per "free -m"
[09:21] <dammit123> so what would be the correct command to downgrade firefox to 34?
[09:21] <DrManhattan> mihael_k33hl, out of curiosity - are you running samba?
[09:22] <Ben64> dammit123: easiest way would be to use synaptic
[09:22] <mihael_k33hl> DrManhattan: nope
[09:22] <dammit123> Ben64: this is a headless server
[09:22] <Ben64> dammit123: but it's very likely you're mixing repositories or something else  bad
[09:24] <dammit123> Ben64: tell me http://ix.io/fNq
[09:25] <dammit123> should this be the correct version? apt-get install firefox=34.0+build2-0ubuntu2
[09:25] <EriC^^> dammit123: how us cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[09:25] <EriC^^> *show
[09:25] <dammit123> EriC^^: see my last posted link
[09:26] <EriC^^> dammit123: yes
[09:26] <dammit123> ah wait
[09:26] <EriC^^> !info firefox trusty
[09:26] <Ben64> I don't think old versions stay in the repositories?
[09:27] <dammit123> EriC^^: http://ix.io/fNr
[09:28] <EriC^^> Ben64: apparently they do, or it's using my cached deb, i have 3 firefox's when i apt-cache show
[09:28] <Ben64> i get two, 28 and 35
[09:28] <EriC^^> i have 35, 34 and 28
[09:28] <Ben64> are you still on 34?
[09:29] <EriC^^> Ben64: yeah, it's updating now
[09:29] <Ben64> then there you go, it'll disappear after
[09:29] <EriC^^> i guess 28 is like a fallback or something
[09:29] <EriC^^> yeah
[09:29] <Ben64> 28 is from the original 14.04 release
[09:29] <Ben64> 35 is from ubuntu-updates
[09:29] <dammit123> hmm, i wonder what that firefox 34 here then is http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/ its also missing the ubuntu release version
[09:30] <EriC^^> dammit123: i think you should install the 35 one
[09:30] <dammit123> EriC^^: i would, if it wouldnt break selenium
[09:31] <Ben64> theres a deb here ... https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6599704
[09:31] <dammit123> so the question is, where do old ubuntu packages go?
[09:32] <OerHeks> dammit123, old browsers are removed, who wants them anyway ? it is a security issue, by mozilla i guess
[09:33] <EriC^^> dammit123: they're all still in the repos
[09:33] <EriC^^> dammit123: search for "firefox_" and they'll show up
[09:33] <EriC^^> ( in that webpage you linked )
[09:35] <dammit123> so which part of the version do i need to use for `apt-get install firefox=...` ?
[09:35] <MaxFrames> hello
[09:36] <MaxFrames> can you confirm that ddrescue logs only when the task is completed, and not in real time?
[09:36] <MaxFrames> I am trying to save a failing hdd to an image file
[09:36] <MaxFrames> this is the command I issued:
[09:36] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, I believe you can set the level of verbosity
[09:36] <MaxFrames> sudo ddrescue -d -v -n -p /dev/sdc /media/sysadmin/Elements/ps3.hdd /media/sysadmin/SYSADMIN/ps3.log
[09:37] <EriC^^> dammit123: if you type apt-cache show firefox | grep Version , what do you get?
[09:37] <MaxFrames> the /dev/sdc is the failing hdd, the first path is the path to the image file on an external hdd, and the third path is the path to the log file on a thumb drive
[09:37] <MaxFrames> what I am seeing is this:
[09:38] <MaxFrames> 1) despite the -p switch, the space has not been preallocated on the target drive, the image file is growing in size
[09:38] <MaxFrames> 2) still no log files on the thumb drive
[09:38] <MaxFrames> 3) despite the -v switch, I can see no messages on screen
[09:38] <dammit123> ok, installed the deb manually, thanks Ben64. (still dunno how im supposed to do that with apt-get)
[09:39] <Ben64> dammit123: don't think you can in this case
[09:39] <EriC^^> dammit123: that's not recommended
[09:39] <EriC^^> dammit123: btw you installed the utopic firefox
[09:39] <MaxFrames> I _think_ it is doing something since the image file is growing, but I cannot see what
[09:39] <dammit123> Ben64: you mean only old versions of firefox gets removed from the repos?
[09:39] <Guest46653> hello i m facing weird bug... if i open chromium with 14.04 i have and error message about login error.. i have to click on ok about 6 or 7 times with a message every time
[09:39] <MaxFrames> can you help?
[09:40] <Guest46653> i googled and found temporal solution going and delete file WebData.... and the problem is gone... till i reboot the system.... any solution ?
[09:40] <Guest46653> thanks
[09:40] <dammit123> EriC^^: the first one i tried from the repos? yeah, i get the impression now too
[09:41] <EriC^^> dammit123: i mean that webpage you linked to is for utopic
[09:41] <EriC^^> dammit123: when you type apt-cache show firefox | grep Version , do you get a 34 version?
[09:41] <dammit123> EriC^^: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/6599704/+files/firefox_34.0%2Bbuild2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb looks like 14.04 to me, and selenium works again
[09:42] <Ben64> not the best solution, but is a solution .... kinda
[09:42] <Ben64> now you're stuck with an outdated browser ... yay?
[09:42] <dammit123> until selenium gets fixed
[09:42] <dammit123> and till then i can still work. yay!
[09:45] <dammit123> Ben64: and its not me whos stuck with old browser, just our testing system (for our webapp) :D
[09:49] <TheVerge> Are you still around Ben64
[09:49] <dammit123> thank you all for the help! back to work.
[09:49] <Ben64> TheVerge: kinda
[09:51] <TheVerge> Ben64, I got the system booted and changed back to the original recommended driver
[09:51] <Ben64> sounds good
[09:52] <TheVerge> Ben64, I have just tried to play an MKV video file and the audio is fine but the video is a bit choppy
[09:54] <TheVerge> Ben64, My system specs are here http://n40l.wikia.com/wiki/Base_Hardware_N40L
[09:55] <Ben64> TheVerge: yeah, i'd imagine it'd be choppy... kind of low on specs
[09:56] <TheVerge> I am also running Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 32bit
[09:56] <TheVerge> Ben64, I thought it would be fine with the new GPU. My Pi plays them fine over NFS
[09:56] <Ben64> if you had an nvidia gpu, sure. it has hardware acceleration, just like the Pi does
[09:57] <Ben64> i'm not very well versed in amd, they might as well, but you have an older one
[09:58] <TheVerge> Ben64, I wanted an nvidia card but they wouldn't fit inside the case :(
[09:59] <TheVerge> Plus I believe they have better compatibility with Linux
[10:00] <Ben64> there are small ones... gtx 750 is short
[10:00] <TheVerge> It's more the heatsink and fan that are the issues
[10:00] <Ben64> and yeah, I haven't had AMD gpu in my computer since like 2004 :) Nvidia works so much easier
[10:04] <yourbeau> how secure is SSL connection to freenode ?
[10:04] <yourbeau> if I use Ubuntu
[10:04] <MaxFrames> ssl v3 256 bits.... :(
[10:05] <yourbeau> MaxFrames, ain't it TLS ?
[10:05] <MaxFrames> [10:01:46] [SSL] Cifrario della trasmissione attuale
[10:05] <MaxFrames> [10:01:46] [SSL]:  Cifrario: DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
[10:05] <MaxFrames> [10:01:46] [SSL]:  Versione: TLSv1/SSLv3
[10:05] <MaxFrames> [10:01:46] [SSL]:  Bit 256 (usati 256)
[10:06] <MaxFrames> what do you reckon?
[10:06] <Ben64> yourbeau: you should ask network questions in #freenode
[10:09] <yourbeau> MaxFrames, does it provide us enough security from sniffers ?
[10:09] <yourbeau> Ben64, ok
[10:14] <cydd_> hi
[10:19] <colonolGron> hi
[10:19] <duffer> I've downloaded some packages (via the "-d" switch) on 12.04. Now I'll be installing 14.04 (from an ISO) Can I use those deb files on 14.04 as well?
[10:19] <colonolGron> i have ubuntu installed now installed another OS. how can i update grub? just doing grub-mkconfig >> /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then run update-grub?
[10:21] <colonolGron> hm there is not update-grub..is lubuntu using grub2 or grub by default? so i can reinstall update-grub...
[10:22] <bubbasaures> colonolGron, sudo update-grub
[10:23] <bubbasaures> it is grub 2
[10:23] <colonolGron> bubbasaures: no grub-mkconfig needed?
[10:23] <cfhowlett> !grub2 | colonolGron
[10:24] <bubbasaures> colonolGron, Never seen it used to update grub
[10:24] <colonolGron> okay, thanks
[10:25] <duffer> bubbasaures: Do deb files from 12.04 work on 14.04? or do I need to download them again?
[10:26] <bubbasaures> duffer, This is not pick a nick and ask.
[10:26] <bubbasaures> never use packages from another release
[10:26] <Ben64> duffer: you do not want to mix packages for different versions
[10:27] <duffer> are all packages version specific?
[10:27] <Ben64> yep
[10:28] <diverdude> hello, when i do:  umount /media/DISK791/ i get: umount: /media/DISK791: device is busy. How do i figure out what process is using that device? sudo fuser -vm /media/DISK791/ returns nothing and neither does lsof. what can i do?
[10:28] <Ahmuck> hi.  i've been testing browsers (text) and i noticed they have a primary link "canoical".  Is ubuntu appending all http traffic or have modified all browsers to ...

[10:45] <blackyboy> How can i Control a user not to Access crontab Command in Ubuntu Desktop and server
[10:48] <cfhowlett> blackyboy, only administrator users should be able to access that.  so make a regular deskto user = lower privileges
[10:49] <blackyboy> cfhowlett: i have admin privilege now i want to disable cron access for other users only i want to access
[10:49] <cfhowlett> blackyboy, so long as those others users are NOT admin ... done!
[10:50] <blackyboy> there is sudo vim /etc/at.deny available to disable at option but there is not cronjob
[10:54] <diverdude> when i do sudo lsof /media/DISK791/ nothing happens, but still i get device is busy when i try to umount it. what is happening?
[10:54] <rrr_> how to use rsync?
[10:55] <cfhowlett> rrr_, man rsync for details
[10:56] <rrr_> cfhowlett: i used scp. it is very slow it seems just hung there.
[10:57] <rrr_> cfhowlett: so rsync is the same usage as scp?
[10:58] <cfhowlett> rrr_, never used either so I've no experience to base an answer on
[11:03] <vmassuchetto> I can't install Skype due to unmet dependencies in 14.04. I had already tried something with no success: http://pastebin.com/naq4cKNP Any clue?
[11:09] <Ben64> rrr_: the man page for rsync should explain it better than anyone else could

[11:45] <BobBall> Help! Why does my upstart keep running multiple processes?  e.g. ps aux | grep 'upstart' shows 2 each of udev, socket and file.  I don't care about those, but I do have my own upstart script which can only have one instance running at a time
[11:57] <uhhimhere> so why is MIR "loved" so much by the linux community?
[11:58] <cfhowlett> uhhimhere, discuss in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic...this channel is for #ubuntu support.  thank you.
[12:03] <MaxFrames> hey I have put lubuntu 14.04 iso on a thumb drive with unetbooting (from windows) but it boots to a busybox prompt. what gives?
[12:04] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, verify your .iso and the usb.  one or the other is likely bad
[12:04] <cfhowlett> !md5sum MaxFrames
[12:04] <MaxFrames> can a bad usb drive cause lubuntu to morph into busybox?
[12:05] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, bad hardware can do all manner of strange things.
[12:05] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | MaxFrames
[12:05] <oddeyed> MaxFrames: Busybox isn't another distro, it's just a shell which you get dropped to if stuff goes wrong.
[12:06] <MaxFrames> I see
[12:06] <MaxFrames> could it be it can't boot on the hardware?
[12:06] <MaxFrames> i.e. good iso, good usb drive, incompatibility with the hardware?
[12:06] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, test: get a different drive.  but verify your .iso first
[12:07] <MaxFrames> I don't have another usb drive :/ I can only redownload the iso and/or md5 test it
[12:07] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, ALWAYS verify your .iso!
[12:07] <MaxFrames> cfhowlett: the only reason I didn't do that yet is that I already used this very ISO, multiple times
[12:08] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, md5sum : 1. .iso  2. USB
[12:08] <cecja> first time you install an iso from this stick? maybe it's an old grub fucking with you
[12:08] <cfhowlett> cecja, good point but please - !language
[12:08] <MaxFrames> I have used this stick before
[12:09] <MaxFrames> when I boot, it shows a blue unetbootin screen with just "default" and "exit" as choices
[12:09] <MaxFrames> it should have shown the lubuntu live screen
[12:09] <cfhowlett> MaxFrames, in the time since I first suggested you verify your media, you could have done both and eliminated 2 possible sources of trouble.
[12:10] <Codmadnesspro> So I plan on migrating servers but i'm not sure what software to use for this, I don't really want to pay $100 for a migrate, so is there anything free?
[12:10] <xuelanghu> hi
[12:10] <cfhowlett> Codmadnesspro, perhaps a good question for #ubuntu-server
[12:10] <cecja> dd the iso to the stick if you don't want to debug anything and the iso formerly workerd
[12:10] <cfhowlett> !cn | xuelanghu,
[12:10] <cecja> -r
[12:11] <cecja> Codmadnesspro: the question is more about the scale of your operation.
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:14] <Industrial> Hi. I'm running the xmonad Window Manager. I am using `nitrogen` to save and restore wallpaper settings. When I start Nautilus it resets the wallpaper to the Ubuntu wallpaper.
[12:14] <Industrial> Can I get it not to do that? Anything with the desktop?
[12:14] <Industrial> I can't find anything about this in the Nautilus options.
[12:14] <devzdesilva> fhey
[12:17] <Industrial> I dont need or want an account to be able to do a bug submit :-(
[12:17] <devzdesilva> clear
[12:18] <Industrial> Well, now I need to replace nautilus :S it has very weird behaviour when you start it thats not modifyable in its settings.
[12:18] <Industrial> Why should a file manager have anything to do with a desktop wallpaper?
[12:19] <devzdesilva> #c++
[12:19] <cfhowlett> devzdesilva, ask your ubuntu questions here
[12:21] <jpds_> Industrial: They all use the same settings backend.
[12:22] <Industrial> jpds_: Thats fine, but I'm not going to make my toaster cook eggs
[12:22] <devzdesilva> hey
[12:22] <cfhowlett> !ask | devzdesilva,
[12:25] <blu3ski3s> i just installed ubuntu and currently in the process in setting up vm's using virtual box. Does anyone know how to setup vm per each tty (if that makes sence) eg: ctrl+alt 2 will display windows 7 vm (full screen & loaded on boot). i tried to google it but no success
[12:26] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: what's the tty have to do with anything?
[12:28] <blu3ski3s> well this is likely why im asking for help but isnt the shortcut to tty2 for example ctrl+alt 2? (ive seen it implemented at uni)
[12:28] <blu3ski3s> then tty4 for example is red hat
[12:29] <blu3ski3s> i might be mistaken, any pointers will be appreciated
[12:29] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: ok, with the tty you wont have a gui
[12:29] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: can you explain what you want to achieve?
[12:30] <blu3ski3s> 2 vm's booted on boot and can simply switch between them
[12:30] <Industrial> I get it now. Using dconf-editor.
[12:30] <EriC^^> ok, you can boot the vm's from the command line in your startup apps
[12:30] <Industrial> That's not really nice though :( should be GUI options for this
[12:31] <blu3ski3s> thats fine i dont mind
[12:31] <Industrial> this system gives me the chills (dconf) it reminds me of the windows registry
[12:31] <blu3ski3s> haha
[12:31] <Industrial> like.. who thought it was a good idea to copy THAT >_>
[12:31] <Industrial> (as opposed to homedir config files)
[12:31] <blu3ski3s> haha, it was probs the same guy that did it for windows
[12:31] <blu3ski3s> so evil
[12:33] <gagalicious> possible to have my thin client running even if the server is shut dow
[12:33] <gagalicious> n?
[12:33] <gagalicious> basically my thin client do an nfs over the network to the server system filesystem
[12:35] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: you can press right ctrl, then alt+tab to switch between the vms
[12:36] <blu3ski3s> not smooth though, the system i saw was literally just like it was multiple desktops. almost like a kvm
[12:38] <wodrow> anyone here?
[12:38] <blu3ski3s> wodrow: nope
[12:38] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: you could put it in a workspace that way you'd only have the vm's in the alt+tab
[12:39] <cfhowlett> !ask | wodrow
[12:39] <blu3ski3s> EriC^^:  yeah, but would i have to put it in full screen mode etc every boot?
[12:40] <EriC^^> blu3ski3s: i think you can start a vm in full screen mode
[12:40] <blu3ski3s> EriC^^: Valid tips, but i want it more professional looking. So if i have to implement it other places ill know how.
[12:41] <blu3ski3s> ok np ill have a look into it more, thanks
[12:41] <blu3ski3s> how bad is empathy compared to mirc lmao
[12:43] <bodybuilder22> hi
[12:45] <DeaDSouL> hey guys... does anyone know what could be the idealist processor for a high-end NAS server ?
[12:45] <tomodachi> DeaDSouL: ideal is something very relative
[12:45] <cfhowlett> DeaDSouL, that's a great ##hardware question ...
[12:45] <DeaDSouL> tomodachi: I want it for NAS server
[12:46] <tomodachi> DeaDSouL: if i was running  a nas server i would probably not even run it on linux , but use Freenas (based on freebsd)
[12:46] <tomodachi> since it has zfs
[12:46] <tomodachi> there i would go for at least 2ghz whatever with 1 gig ecc for each Terrabyte of Data
[12:47] <DeaDSouL> tomodachi: why would you do that? what if you want to change your main nas-server os later?? with all the zfs filesystem ?? it is gonna be a real problem,, I guess
[12:49] <DeaDSouL> tomodachi: specially if you go with one of the zfs raids ...
[12:50] <DeaDSouL> am i right ?
[12:50] <stevenm> You know how Firefox gets a special exception when it comes to updates (i.e. LTS will get new versions of firefox as they come out even *if* it means introducing new features) - does this apply to Thunderbird too? and how about LibreOffice - will it follow whatever LibreOffice considers to be 'Still' (the stable release) ?
[12:51] <DeaDSouL> since freenas has developed their own thing for zfs.. i think it'll be really hard to get those data from the harddrives with linux later on...
[12:51] <ngaio> is there much point in filling a bug for a repeatable kernel crash on 14.10?
[12:51] <cfhowlett> stevenm, best to ask the support channels/forums of those products about their development protocols.   not ubuntu sponsored or managed
[12:52] <stevenm> cfhowlett, it's ubuntu that is choosing to package the latest firefox and put it in main - even if the LTS is meant to be frozen for new features (security fixes and bugs only) - so it's ubuntu making that exception
[12:52] <stevenm> cfhowlett, nothing to do with the original authors
[12:53] <OerHeks> ngaio, sure, first look if there is a known related bugreport to confirm.
[12:53] <stevenm> e.g. firefox is now on version 35 - it's in 12.04 and 14.04 main - but it only got to version 35 only 3 days ago
[12:54] <ngaio> OerHeks, even if it's a hardware problem and the Ubuntu kernel team may not have access to that particular hardware? (an external USB hard drive case)
[12:55] <survietamine> hello, I want to fix this "Jan 16 12:04:47 mailhub-02 dovecot: config: Error: net_accept() failed: Too many open files", so I added "limit nofile 20480 20480" into /etc/init/dovecot.conf
[12:55] <OerHeks> ngaio, sure, unless it is custom made ofcourse
[12:55] <ngaio> OerHeks, I think it's JMicron
[12:55] <survietamine> but the limits are still 1024 4096 after restarting with restart dovecot
[12:55] <OerHeks> ngaio, is it a usb3 issue?
[12:55] <ngaio> OerHeks,
[12:55] <ngaio> yes
[12:56] <OerHeks> ngaio, oke then i would go for it. lots of issues with usb3 to solve.
[12:56] <ngaio> OerHeks, okay thank you. I'll install that hardware crash package then
[13:00] <ngaio> OerHeks, to report it so it's of any use, do I need to install one of the 600MB kernel ddeb packages?
[13:01] <cfhowlett> stevenm, I can't find it but there actually was a discussion on the issue you raise.  If I can regurgitate from memory: some packages, e.g. firefox, are considered critical and qualify for update during the LTS lifetime.  Some packages are not so critical, so no upgrade.  Sorry, no more I can add to this.
[13:02] <OerHeks> !bug
[13:02] <OerHeks> not sure you need to install anything, ngaio
[13:02] <stevenm> cfhowlett, ok I'm asking around in #ubuntu-mozillateam - it seems thunderbird gets the same deal too
[13:03] <cfhowlett> stevenm, I'm sure there's a list somewhere but I can't direct you.  sorry
[13:03] <OerHeks> ngaio, i am thinking about what package you need to file a bug against, maybe the kernel ?
[13:03] <stevenm> cfhowlett, you'd think LibreOffice would get the same deal so it follows the stable release (which the LibreOffice call 'Still') - it's at least as important and as useful to the desktop environment as firefox
[13:04] <cfhowlett> stevenm, I tend to agree :)  but then ... I'm only a user.
[13:04] <ngaio> OerHeks, I have no idea. All I know is that when I plug in the external drive, the kernel locks up. Here is where I found the link about install the 600MB debug kernel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash
[13:05] <riz0n> Hi, has anyone else noticed with the latest LTS that you have to sign in, then sign out, then sign in again to get an accurate number of updates Ubuntu needs (or if the system needs a restart)? What gives with this, and is there a solution to fix it? I don't think I can go another 2 and a half years like this LOL!
[13:06] <cfhowlett> riz0n, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:07] <riz0n> cfhowlett: I use sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

[13:19] <linuxmint> Any suggestions why sound won't work on Ubuntu 14.04 until I unpluged the HDMI and plug it in again?
[13:20] <tomodachi> DeaDSouL:  yes
[13:22] <lotuspsychje> linuxmint: sound on pc or external tv?
[13:22] <linuxmint> lotuspsychje: sound on TV. No sound on pc.
[13:23] <lotuspsychje> linuxmint: you need to adjust sound settings, to the device you want to hear sound
[13:23] <linuxmint> lotuspsychje: I mean the computer has no speakers to make any sound. I only need the sound on the TV, which has the speakers.
[13:24] <lotuspsychje> linuxmint: did you change sound settings to hdmi audio then?
[13:25] <gagalicious> mdadm: cannot open /dev/sda3: Device or resource busy
[13:25] <gagalicious> help
[13:25] <gagalicious> how can i solve this?
[13:25] <linuxmint> lotuspsychje: on Ubuntu? Yes. On the TV, to HDMI 1, which worked, but now only works when unplugging the HDMI cable from the TV HDMI port (or the computer's HDMI port I think?) and plugging the HDMI cable back into the HDMI port.
[13:27] <lotuspsychje> linuxmint: i think its because ubuntu boots default sound on Os, and not on tv
[13:27] <lotuspsychje> linuxmint: note sure howto boot sound into external devices
[13:32] <linuxmint> lotuspsychje: thanks. Will try to figure it out.
[13:32] <Lee-> linuxmint, a simple solution would be to disable the audio device in BIOS
[13:33] <BluesKaj_> linuxmint:  the soundcard should pass the spdif signal to the hdmi port if spdif is enabled
[13:33] <BluesKaj_> linuxmint:  check alsamixer
[13:34] <linuxmint> BlueByte: yes, checked alsamixer and volume is up. I'll try disabling the audio in BIOS.
[13:34] <linuxmint> Lee-: thanks, I'll try that tomorrow.
[13:35] <BluesKaj_> linuxmint:  spdif output should be enabled  , no MM
[13:36] <linuxmint> BlueByte: in the Alsamixer settings?
[13:36] <BluesKaj_> linuxmint:  yes
[13:36] <linuxmint> BlueByte: what's MM?
[13:36] <BluesKaj_> mute
[13:36] <linuxmint> BlueByte: k, will try tomorrow. Thanks.
[13:36] <BluesKaj_> and my nick is BlueShark
[13:36] <BluesKaj_> :)
[13:37] <BluesKaj_> BluesKaj: )
[13:37] <linuxmint> BlueShark: ooops, sorry. Thanks BluesKaj_
[13:37] <BluesKaj_> ok
[13:37] <linuxmint> BluesKaj: ok.
[13:44] <antimatroid> so I'm trying to get a script to run whenever I connect to a wireless network (so I can stop drobox when tethering to my phone). I have added the script to /etc/network/if-up.d and made it executable, but it still doesn't seem to run. I've seen some comments suggesting I need wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces, but I'm not really sure how to add it properly? I tried adding "auto wlan0; post-up /etc/network/if-up.d/scriptname" to the file, but then networking

[14:17] <mucus> change ownership of a folder and all subfiles is chown newowner -R /directory ?
[14:17] <blu3ski3s> all depends on graphics drivers i guess
[14:17] <ramsrambo> I got an error install ubuntu 14.04.01 desktop - fatal error unable to install bootloader
[14:17] <blu3ski3s> yep
[14:18] <blu3ski3s> ramsrambo, retry install check install disk
[14:18] <blu3ski3s> ramsrambo, also why not use 14.10?
[14:19] <ramsrambo> blu3ski3s : anyway's of fixing this bootloader issue now
[14:19] <blu3ski3s> yeah liveboot and do grub install ill find a link for you
[14:20] <blu3ski3s> try this http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd
[14:21] <blu3ski3s> or this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
[14:22] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, yes... however that will also change all the files inside that directory to have the newowner as well
[14:22] <mucus> pragmaticenigma: that is the intent
[14:22] <mucus> directory + all contained
[14:23] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, depending on the folder, you may also want to change the owner and group.  for that it would be "chown newowner:newgroup -R /path/to/dir"
[14:23] <mucus> what differentiates group from owner?
[14:24] <pragmaticenigma> blu3ski3s, because 14.04 is LTS support
[14:24] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, different permissions can be set based on how a user is accessing a file or directory
[14:24] <mucus> hm, then i better do group and owner
[14:25] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, if I own the file, but want all the system admins to have access as well, I can change the group to the sysadmins group and set the permissions as needed
[14:25] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, so I would still have ownership of the file, but the group could access it as well.  It's not as important in a single user environment, but more so when multiple users use the same machine
[14:25] <mucus> but can't anyone with sudo access the file?
[14:26] <blu3ski3s> pragmaticenigma, sorry i thought 14.10 was LTS, im on 14.04 too
[14:26] <mucus> or is this just another set of users in addition to owner and super users?
[14:26] <pragmaticenigma> mucus, not always true. sudo usually can get past some of the permissions, but it's not always the case
[14:26] <mucus> oh.
[14:27] <mucus> interesting!
[14:27] <blu3ski3s> not really :P zzzzzz

[14:31] <pragmaticenigma> that happens every now and then when I'm using VNC
[14:32] <blu3ski3s> pragmaticenigma, im pretty sure it was just because i switched between windows VM and ubuntu
[14:33] <pragmaticenigma> usually the same thing happens to me... go from something on my local machine to my VNC session, and the VNC client gets confused about the state of alt or shift key presses
[14:37] <chebit> hello, I have Ubuntu 14.10 64bit, AMD Phenom II X4 965, Graphics VeSA I have various issues, One is that nautilus sometimes no response when I write the name of directory
[14:38] <chebit> or rename this.
[14:38] <chebit> perhaps the video card settings?
[14:39] <f3lix> How would I go about "squashing" uid/gid on an ext4 or btrfs filesystem? Like an NTFS or vfat filesystem is mounted — everything is owned by root, but always 666 or 777 and everything written there automagically becomes the same…
[14:39] <chebit> I have ATI AMD Radeon HD 5670
[14:39] <blu3ski3s> 5650 here from memory
[14:40] <blu3ski3s> i dont have any issues on 14.04
[14:40] <pragmaticenigma> chebit, video card is unlikely preventing you from renaming files in nautilus. can you describe, in the best detail you can, what happens as you attempt to rename the folder. include all the steps taken from when you click on rename to when you finish.
[14:40] <chebit> With 14.04 it was all good !
[14:41] <blu3ski3s> any reason why you upgraded?
[14:41] <pragmaticenigma> f3lix, NTFS doesn't support unix/linux file persmission. the driver that allows you to write to the drive is setting fake permissions to allow the OS to read and write
[14:41] <rohanKanojia420> Ping
[14:41] <pragmaticenigma> !ping
[14:42] <chebit> pragmaticenigma, ok I'll try
[14:42] <chebit> thanks
[14:42] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: exactly, and I'd like to mimic that behavior on an fs that does support proper permissions
[14:44] <pragmaticenigma> f3lix, that is not recommended or best practice. that will open your system up to all sorts of vulnerabilities
[14:44] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: i know, but I'm wondering if it's possible
[14:44] <chebit> The other problem is on gedit - text editor, sometimes blinks and closes when It's has long text, I 'll try see log files.
[14:44] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: and to be precise, it'll open up that FILEsystem, not my system ;)
[14:45] <pragmaticenigma> f3lix, I don't fully understand what you are trying to accomplish then.
[14:46] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: I'm trying to mount a regular linux filesystem so that it behaves like a FUSE-mounted NTFS or vfat filesystem would: Squashing all content to be owned by root:root, but readable and writable by all
[14:46] <survietamine> after adding a line with "limit nofile 50000 50000" into some upstart config file. I can see this is applied only after a reboot. Is it possible to apply it without rebooting, please?
[14:48] <pragmaticenigma> f3lix, check out the documentation for fstab
[14:48] <pragmaticenigma> !fstab | f3lix
[14:48] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: in particular?
[14:49] <f3lix> assuming you have an idea on how to do it?
[14:49] <pragmaticenigma> f3lix, you can set options when the drive or partition is mounted there... I don't recall the exact method or options, but I've done something similar to mount samba shares locally
[14:50] <mindless_chaos> Okay, Seems like every time I update, it breaks my video driver. I have the AMD prop driver installed, and I am running 14.04. SO I have an update pop up today, I checked and it is set to leave my driver alone, and there are no driver and or kernel updates....
[14:50] <mindless_chaos> WHAT TO DO ...
[14:51] <f3lix> pragmaticenigma: I'm assuming you haven't read the fstab man page yourself, as mount options aren't discussed here; they're totally up to the fs to implement ;) And CIFS and NFS are a totally different ballgame, here we have e.g. root_squash to do it. Which is why I specifically asked about ext4 or btrfs. But thanks anyway :)

[15:15] <koichirose> Hello. Not sure if this is the right channel. I'm succesfully tailing multiple files at once with '-f', now I'd also like to grep only one of them. My not working attempt: http://pastie.org/9835395 - hints?
[15:17] <Pici> koichirose: You might want to look into multitail before going down the scripting route.  It has, somewhat complicated, but powerful matching and filtering features.
[15:18] <koichirose> Pici: I'm looking at it but I'm not sure if it can filter just one file
[15:18] <mindless_chaos> Okay, So I updated, and it didn't seem to break my video, however, after I login, the login screen lockes up... I know there is something to do when this happns to fix it... some one remind me
[15:20] <mindless_chaos> have to reinstall the greeter or something
[15:20] <mindless_chaos> any one have any idea
[15:21] <serversideup> Does anyone have any thoughts on connecting an Ubuntu 14.04 Server to a Cisco ASA VPN? I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/546677/vpn-between-ubuntu-server-14-04-1-lts-and-cisco-asa-5510 but all I need is to join 1 server as a client to the VPN. Is that link a little too over the top of what I am looking for?
[15:22] <Pici> koichirose: your example would be something like multitail --follow-all -e 'table_name' /var/log/mysql/error.log /var/log/apache2/error.log
[15:22] <EriC^^> mindless_chaos: what exactly is the problem?
[15:22] <mindless_chaos> hi eric
[15:22] <mindless_chaos> Okay, so I updated ubuntu
[15:22] <mindless_chaos> I have this issue everytime I update it breakes fgrlx
[15:23] <mindless_chaos> this is a fresh install of 14.04
[15:23] <mindless_chaos> with amd driver
[15:23] <mindless_chaos> this time it didnt break fgrlx
[15:23] <mindless_chaos> but after putting in my password on login screen it locks
[15:23] <mindless_chaos> I can ctrl+alt f2 to terminal, thats how I am on irssi
[15:24] <mindless_chaos> but the login screen is currently locked
[15:24] <EriC^^> mindless_chaos: locked how?
[15:24] <mindless_chaos> I know there is something that has to be done like reinstalling the greeter
[15:24] <EriC^^> you still have the login screen but it's frozen?
[15:24] <mindless_chaos> hit enter, accpets password, and I just see the login screen background
[15:24] <mindless_chaos> and it sits
[15:24] <mindless_chaos> I can still use term
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> but the login is locked
[15:25] <EriC^^> mindless_chaos: ok, did you try the guest account?
[15:25] <koichirose> Pici: I'm reading the docs :) thanks
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> disabled
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> OH wait, I have another account on here
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> WOOT
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> Ill try that. If I get in what do I do?
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> maybe I should add that user to sudoer
[15:25] <koichirose> Pici: I don't understand what '--follow-all' does
[15:25] <mindless_chaos> jic
[15:26] <EriC^^> mindless_chaos: you'll need to remove the config file that's causing the problem on your main account
[15:26] <mindless_chaos> okay
[15:26] <mindless_chaos> let me try
[15:26] <EriC^^> ok

[15:27] <panther__> um.. is this the support channel

[16:18] <basichash> what's a great cli program for money management?
[16:19] <pragmaticenigma> basichash, a plain text file?
[16:19] <teward> basichash: i don't think you'll find one, really - why do you need CLI though?
[16:21] <basichash> pragmaticenigma, teward: something with good keybindings, where i can easily add a new purchase or whatever, rather than have to fck about with a GUI
[16:24] <pbx> basichash, your comment about keybindings makes me think you mean terminal-based, not CLI?
[16:24] <pbx> in that case perhaps emacs has an answer for you. e.g. http://emacswiki.org/emacs/SpreadSheet
[16:27] <basichash> pbx: i thought they were effectively the same thing
[16:27] <pbx> basichash, no, CLI means you are typing commands one at a time at a prompt.
[16:27] <pragmaticenigma> basichash, depends on who you talk to. some think of CLI as being an execute only environment, non-interactive
[16:28] <teward> basichash: please don't use the bad language either - this is a family friendly channel

[16:32] <basichash> fair point
[16:32] <basichash> talk about the tupperware calling the china black
[16:32] <wonderworld> indeed :)
[16:32] <pragmaticenigma> basichash, I don't think there are a lot of money management applications written for a text only interface. I get what you are trying to do, was a big fan of the old DOS version of quicken
[16:33] <basichash> pragmaticenigma: ah that's a shame. I generally don't use a mouse, so i was hoping i could find a tool that allowed me to record transactions, etc with some decent speed. guess i'll have to use my mouse then
[16:33] <wonderworld> if you just need to add up purchases, you could write a very simple script for it. maybe 10 line.
[16:34] <pragmaticenigma> wonderworld, I think they intend this to be an everyday need
[16:34] <basichash> wonderworld: yeah it needs to be a little more complex than that unfortunately
[16:34] <pragmaticenigma> basichash, there are some applications where the developers have added a lot of shortcut keys to the application to make navigating and simple tasks easier to process
[16:35] <basichash> pragmaticenigma, any recommendations?
[16:35] <pragmaticenigma> basichash, I'm not too familiar with them as I run an instance of Quicken within WINE, which serves my needs
[16:36] <niceties> pragmaticenigma: usually the shortcut keys are defaulted by the developing environment used.
[16:36] <OpenSorce> 14.04.1 fresh install. How would I change the look of lightdm from Unity? Trying unity-tweaks-tool but I don't see the option for it.
[16:37] <SchrodingersScat> !info ledger
[16:37] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, lightdm is not an interface, but a backend display manager. If you are looking to "skin" the login window, there are tools for that
[16:38] <pragmaticenigma> neat SchrodingersScat, I might have to check that one out too
[16:38] <niceties> OpenSorce: that's why I like xubuntu. Its easier and does use lightdm
[16:38] <mindless_chaos> ubuntu tweak has options to change the background
[16:38] <mindless_chaos> but there are some decent progs out there to really tweak it
[16:39] <OpenSorce> pragmaticenigma, I understand what it is. I was hoping Unity had advanced as far as KDE did many years ago and included a front end to do this.
[16:39] <niceties> OpenSorce: meant it doesn't use lightdm
[16:40] <OpenSorce> niceties, yeah think I'll switch to something a little more user friendly. Or at least something more familiar. I wonder if gdm and kdm are still around? :-P
[16:40] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, Unity is canoncals attempt at giving a simple interface for all to Linux based OSs... They intentionally made it difficult to tweak things like the login window
[16:41] <Nickwiz> Why is there no /usr/lib/python2.7/config/ in Ubuntu 14.10 ?
[16:41] <OpenSorce> pragmaticenigma, again, I know what it is. But thanks!
[16:41] <mindless_chaos> I'll tell you what, regardless of the dificulty of changing unity, I really like it for it's simplicity
[16:42] <Nickwiz> Have sinatelled and re-installed bot python2.7 the -dev package etc. But none gives the config dir
[16:42] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-change-login-screen-background-remove-the-white-dots/
[16:42] <mindless_chaos> ubuntu tweak has option for dots
[16:43]  * mindless_chaos likes dots
[16:43] <pragmaticenigma> mindless_chaos, he's looking to change the image
[16:45] <mindless_chaos> ubuntu tweak>tweaks tab>login settings>Click unlock and put in password>then click button to change login screen
[16:45] <Voyage> how to install imap for apache?
[16:45] <OpenSorce> mindless_chaos, yeah not seeing the tweaks tab... likely because I am trying to launch it from lxde
[16:45] <Voyage> in ubuntu
[16:46] <OpenSorce> mindless_chaos, thanks a bunch for looking that up though man!
[16:46] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, did you see the link I posted?
[16:47] <MaxFrames> hello please help with ddrescue
[16:47] <Coccobello> g
[16:48] <MaxFrames> I've been running it all day to copy a failing 80 gb hdd to an image file
[16:48] <MaxFrames> the target file size has grown up to 74.5 gb, it took hours and hoursù
[16:48] <MaxFrames> now the onscreen message is saying "copying non-tried blocks..." and the target file size has perhaps stopped growing
[16:49] <MaxFrames> I need to know if it's anywhere near the end of the process because I'll have to go home in half an hour
[16:49] <OpenSorce> pragmaticenigma, yes, yes I did. Using dconf-editor and advising users to run commands as root just to change a background image in the login screen? Seems pretty irresponsible.
[16:49] <MaxFrames> I cannot leave it running all weekend.....
[16:49] <MaxFrames> nor I am willing to redo from scratch......
[16:49] <MaxFrames> I have never used ddrescue before so please help me
[16:50] <sfdebug> hi, i'm in a trouble, i locked my desktop ("Windows Key" + l), after that, i didn't touch the keyboard nor mouse, so the screen fades into black, after some time, i came back and moved the mouse, but the login screen appeared without the "Password field", does anyone has any idea what can i do? I don't want to miss the session, thanks in advance!
[16:50] <Babycaz2> ff
[16:50] <Babycaz2> Who need a bit of shit ?
[16:50] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, it is not irresposible, what do you think Ubuntu Tweak is going to need to make the change permanent?
[16:50] <OpenSorce> pragmaticenigma, not a user at the CLI running as root?
[16:51] <mindless_chaos> think I have him in the right direction
[16:52] <Babycaz2> j. Who need a bit of shit ?
[16:52] <squinty> !ops
[16:52] <pragmaticenigma> OpenSorce, if it was easy, you wouldn't be asking for help
[16:53] <undecim> OpenSorce, the login screen background is a system file, so yeah, you need root.
[16:54] <MaxFrames> anyone please?
[16:54] <undecim> MaxFrames?
[16:55] <mindless_chaos> anyone what?
[16:55] <MaxFrames> please see backlog
[16:55] <pragmaticenigma> !anyone | MaxFrames
[16:55] <undecim> I don't have one
[16:55] <MaxFrames> scroll up I mean... I wrote many lines
[16:55] <undecim> I know. My IRC client is glitched
[16:55] <pragmaticenigma> !patience | MaxFrames
[16:55] <undecim> I could exit, but then it would disappear
[16:56] <OpenSorce> pragmaticenigma, if it was east it wouldn't be Unity. And I would need to ask. :-)
[16:56] <mindless_chaos> i have never used ddrescue
[16:56] <mindless_chaos> not sure
[16:56] <undecim> Surely you could write a single-line summary
[16:57] <mindless_chaos> lol
[16:57] <MaxFrames> how can I tell the % progress of ddrescue=
[16:57] <MaxFrames> what does "copying non-tried blocks" mean
[16:58] <erichf> hello
[16:58] <undecim> MaxFrames, with dd, you can use a command in another terminal: sudo killall -SIGUSR1 dd ; not sure about ddrescue
[16:58] <alkisg> sfdebug: try pressing alt+ctrl+f1 to switch to a console, then login, then run `ps aux | grep screen` to see the screensaver pid, then `pkill pid` to kill it, then switch to alt+ctrl+f7=graphics again
[16:58] <pragmaticenigma> !hello | erichf
[16:58] <pragmaticenigma> ubottu fail
[16:58] <MaxFrames> but I dont want to kill it
[16:59] <undecim> MaxFrames, -SIGUSR1 wont kill it
[16:59] <MaxFrames> If i kill it, a whole day of work will be lost
[16:59] <undecim> At least not normal DD
[16:59] <undecim> MaxFrames, check the manual
[16:59] <MaxFrames> what will it do then?
[16:59] <undecim> Or do a test run with another ddrescue process
[16:59] <undecim> What package is ddrescue in?
[16:59] <MaxFrames> gddrescue
[17:00] <erichf> I am getting `WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/1000/keyring-vL7qEf/pkcs11: Connection refused p11-kit: skipping module 'gnome-keyring' whose initialization failed: An error occurred on the device` --> Here is the bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/1379728 --> Telling me to install from https://packages.debian.org/sid/gnome-keyring... I go the install page and am confused
[17:00] <SchrodingersScat> !info gddrescue
[17:00] <sfdebug> alkisg, oh, good man, let me try that!!!
[17:00] <undecim> Ah. I saw the g in front and thought it was a GTK frontend XD
[17:00] <erichf> ubottu is pretty cool
[17:00] <erichf> kk
[17:00] <SchrodingersScat> !botsnack
[17:01] <erichf> Which architecture do I choose? amd64?
[17:01] <MaxFrames> it has been slowly building a 74.5 gb file on the target drive, it took about 8 hours, and now it's stuck on that message
[17:01] <sfdebug> alkisg, do you know the name of the process?
[17:01] <alkisg> sfdebug: what environment, unity?
[17:01] <sfdebug> alkisg, yes
[17:01] <MaxFrames> at the same time the message came out, the log has finally begun to be written
[17:01] <MaxFrames> up to then, no log file was created
[17:02] <alkisg> sfdebug: sorry I'm not using unity, don't you see it with ps aux | grep screen?
[17:02] <sfdebug> alkisg,  appeared "unit-panel-service" and "gnome-screensaver" services
[17:02] <alkisg> killall gnome-screensaver then
[17:03] <undecim>  MaxFrames, probably it's hitting the bad part of the drive then
[17:03] <undecim> MaxFrames, The log file is for logging failed operations, I think
[17:04] <MaxFrames> I don't get what it has been doing for 8 hours
[17:04] <MaxFrames> "non-tried blocks", what can it mean? the manual does not explain
[17:05] <alkisg> MaxFrames: open another terminal, and type this after reading/understanding it: sudo -i (press enter here) while pgrep ddrescue; do sleep 1m; done; sync; poweroff
[17:05] <alkisg> MaxFrames: this will close your pc when ddrescue ends
[17:06] <MaxFrames> but it's a laptop which means it would be plugged in for the weekend, which I am not comfortable with
[17:06] <MaxFrames> also the failing hdd is plugged in to a sata to usb adapter, which means it would be powered on for the weekend
[17:06] <cartnam> does the gcc that comes with ubuntu compiles automatically with c11?
[17:06] <MaxFrames> I cannot do that
[17:07] <undecim> MaxFrames, why for the weekend?
[17:07] <undecim> You goign somewhere?
[17:07] <MaxFrames> http://www.manpagez.com/info/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.18.1/ddrescue_5.php => can anyone figure out what "non-tried" means in ddrescue jargon?
[17:07] <MaxFrames> undecim: it's friday... I'm at the office
[17:08] <undecim> MaxFrames, Sounds like blocks that ddrescue hasn't tried to read yet
[17:08] <undecim> Those 2 devices should be fine to be plugged in over the weekend
[17:08] <sfdebug> alkisg,  i killed unity-panel-service but it came again without the password field... :(
[17:09] <MaxFrames> hey finally it is beginning to display some real time data!
[17:09] <user549p20> where can i go to get help with linux mint
[17:09] <MaxFrames> the "rescued" field is now constanlty increasing
[17:09] <alkisg> sfdebug: why did you kill the panel service and not the screensaver?
[17:09] <MaxFrames> (MB)
[17:09] <SchrodingersScat> !mint | user549p20
[17:09] <sfdebug> alkisg, i killed screensaver first...
[17:09] <sfdebug> alkisg, after, i saw that and nothing changed...
[17:09] <sfdebug> alkisg, so i killed the panel too...
[17:10] <alkisg> sfdebug: for me, in gnome-flashback session, killall gnome-screensaver works
[17:12] <sfdebug> alkisg, i found something here that i'll test: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1311316/comments/13
[17:13] <MaxFrames> wait, isn't the whole purpouse of the log file to be able to resume ddrescue?
[17:14] <MaxFrames> so I can perhaps stop now, and resume monday
[17:15] <MaxFrames> it should begin from where it left off
[17:15] <lachm> Is there a straight forward way of listing all the programs installed with apt that are not depended on by any other apt installed programs
[17:15] <lachm> Thanks in advance
[17:16] <natus> How to disable wireless on startup ? I use mainly ethernet
[17:16] <theadmin> natus: Ubuntu will usually prefer Ethernet. If it's not plugged in, then it will move over to a wireless network.
[17:17] <ra1stl1n> ‪/nick ra1stl1n
[17:17] <natus> theadmin: I know but wireless still activated (I must everytime disable it manualy)
[17:18] <natus> theadmin: I live in a campus they are not wifi only ethernet connection
[17:18] <alkisg> natus: google for something like that:  dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply \    --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager \    org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \     string:WirelessEnabled variant:boolean:$bool_state
[17:18] <alkisg> Sorry no time to guide you exactly
[17:20] <MaxFrames> "If you use the logfile feature of ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently, (only the needed blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume it later at the same point. "
[17:20] <undecim> In a bash script, how do I test if a command fails?
[17:20] <MaxFrames> that is from the manual
[17:20] <MaxFrames> I should be ok then right?
[17:20] <alkisg> undecim: if command; then echo ok; else echo not; fi
[17:21] <alkisg> Or, use $?
[17:21] <undecim> alkisg, I was hoping there was an "if not" to simplify when you only need code for false
[17:22] <alkisg> undecim: ls asdf || echo "not exists"
[17:22] <alkisg> or, if ! command; then...
[17:22] <undecim> its several lines
[17:22] <alkisg> if ! command then
[17:22] <undecim> okay, that's what I was looking for
[17:22] <alkisg> if ! ls asdf; then
[17:22] <alkisg> line 1
[17:22] <alkisg> line 2...
[17:23] <undecim> It just seemed weird to have an empty "then" section
[17:23] <Pici> undecim: fyi, #bash exists and is very helpful
[17:23] <EchoNight> hi
[17:24] <EchoNight> my disk space is full and it won't start kubuntu. what to do?
[17:24] <erichf> Hello, I can't seem to get KDE fully UNinstalled
[17:24] <EchoNight> it's an asus chromebox with 8/8gb partitions
[17:24] <erichf> HAs anyone had experience with this?
[17:24] <undecim> Pici, Yeah, but i was already in this channel
[17:25] <undecim> typing the join command is so much work...
[17:25] <Pici> undecim: well, for next time, they are very knowledable there.
[17:25] <undecim> I figured it was a pretty introductory question, too. I'll head over there for my bash needs from now
[17:25] <natus> alkisg: I don't find anything about it did you "make" it yourself? Must I do some bash script to run it everytime
[17:26] <alkisg> natus: yes I made it myself a couple of years ago and I put it in my startup programs so it runs automatically
[17:27] <natus> alkisg: oh very clever run it like a startup program I'll test it in vm thank you
[17:27] <alkisg> natus: your VM has a wifi interface?
[17:27] <alkisg> Also, it's part of a program, it won't work without changing a variable there
[17:27] <alkisg> That's why I proposed that you googled it instead...
[17:28] <natus> alkisg: can you just send me to a man page or something i'll try to do it myself
[17:29] <alkisg> natus: it's a dbus interface, I don't think it's in a man page
[17:29] <alkisg> It's an api of network manager
[17:30] <natus> alkisg: complicated stuff for me :( I didn't know that it will be so "complicated"
[17:31]  * alkisg thought you'd find some blog with that command explaining the details...
[17:31] <undecim> There's no man page, but it should still be documented
[17:36] <Higshbh> Can someone help me condigure tor to access on my uni network?
[17:38] <SchrodingersScat> Higshbh: have you heard about bridges?  they were planned to help people in freedom hating areas.
[17:38] <hio__> hi, how do i get qtcreator 3.3.0 via apt-get?
[17:39] <Higshbh> How do I get a bridge?

[17:41] <ActionParsnip> hio__: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> hio__: its a single line, so no need to pastebin
[17:43] <FBI> ActionParsnip: lsb_release do exist
[17:43] <FBI> more reliable than /etc/issue
[17:44] <sfdebug> alkisg, worked with unity --replace, i was able to go to the session again, but the windows was buuged, but i could save everything and do a logout... :)
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> FBI: how do you get "more reliable" ?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> FBI: /etc/issue is a GNU standard file, so will work on MAc too.
[17:45] <FBI> ActionParsnip: many people customize /etc/issue
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> FBI: yes, to the distribution they are using
[17:45] <FBI> lsb_release actually works on osX too btw
[17:46] <FBI> (asuming a fairly up to date version)
[17:46] <FBI> ActionParsnip: my /etc/issue doesn't say anything about which distro the machine runs btw
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> FBI: the output of either can be changed, its software
[17:47] <alkisg> sfdebug: nice, although it's weird that killing screensaver didn't kill it
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> FBI: so "more reliable" doesnt apply here at all
[17:47] <FBI> nor do any of the work machines
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> hio__: waiting on that output dude....
[17:47] <Mobix> hey guys my monitor is CRT and when i run firefox my screen goes meshy what should i do?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Mobix: is it only firefox that causes it?
[17:49] <hio__> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l
[17:49] <Mobix> usually yes
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> hio__: I cannot find a PPA with the newer version. There is an offline installer I have found but its not a deb http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/#
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Mobix: have you tried other browsers to test?
[17:50] <hio__> yeah i know, but i cant run that installer silently
[17:50] <jhutchins> Mobix: You could try setting your screen to a lower resolution and see if that works better.

[17:52] <Guest58282> I want to figure out why I can't burn a video DVD with K3b, brasero, devede, or dvd styler.  I found a command line thing called "hdparm" for my SATA DVD burner ... could someone walk me through how to use that?
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Guest58282: devede will make an ISO which you can then open in any burner. I like xfburn personally
[17:53] <SchrodingersScat> I don't think hdparm does what you think it does?
[17:53] <Guest58282> ActionParsnip: I'd be willing to try, but what concerns me is that I want to be sure that it isn't a hardware problem before I try something.  The video files are in FLV format (off of Youtube)
[17:54] <Yakisoba-> hi...
[17:54] <Guest58282> SchrodingersScat: What do you think hdparm does and what do you think I want to do with it?
[17:54] <SchrodingersScat> Guest58282: I could ask you the same.
[17:55] <Yakisoba-> Is it possible to make the laptop with the cover closed worked some time, and then turn off? Explain: I run the program, close the cover, notebook works, and after 30 minutes the laptop itself shuts down?
[17:55] <Guest58282> SchrodingersScat: I typed "man -k SATA" and the only thing that came backwas this.  My idea is to look at the SATA DVD burner to see if there is a hardware problem.
[17:55] <Mobix> jhutchins,  how can i do it?
[17:55] <SchrodingersScat> Guest58282: normally I see it being used for hdd functions, like quick erase, etc.  If you're having trouble either authoring a dvd or burning an ISO, then those seem like different issues.
[17:55] <Guest58282> SchrodingersScat: Before I do anything else
[17:55] <Mobix> i didnt have no Xorg.conf
[17:56] <Yakisoba-> my question was about Ubuntu
[17:56] <Guest67871> just done system update and now xubuntu wont open my windows drives...any ideas how i get round to mount them
[17:56] <Guest58282> SchrodingersScat: ActionParsnip: Is FLV from youtube normally the correct video format (as opposed to 3gp or mp4)?
[17:57] <SchrodingersScat> Guest58282: not for dvd, should use mpeg, but that's why you either convert yourself or use something like devede to convert it and package it up in the vob files, etc.
[17:57] <undecim> Guest67871, Have you rebooted since the update?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest58282: not sure, as long as devede doesn't moan then I assume its fine
[17:58] <BluesKaj> Guest58282, flv files are flash player files as on youtube
[17:59] <Guest67871> undecim,  yes but have this message displayed on screen evrytime i click to access it  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9762817/
[17:59] <Guest58282> SchrodingersScat: ActionParsnip: I'm going to look into xfburn and get back ... also look into MP4 (I don't see mpeg as format offered) ... and eat dinner ... see ya soon?
[17:59] <undecim> Guest67871, Did you follow the instructions in the error?
[18:00] <Guest67871> undecim,  im a newbie, dont even understand what it says
[18:00] <undecim> Guest67871, Basically, when you closed Windows, it didn't shut down, but hibernated
[18:00] <undecim> Guest67871, So now the Windows partition is "still being used" even though the Windows OS is away
[18:01] <Guest67871> undecim,  hows that possible, it wasnt like this before update
[18:01] <undecim> Guest67871, You can either use the terminal to mount it "read-only" so that you can't change any files (i can help with that), or you can start Windows again and shut down windows properly
[18:01] <Guest67871> undecim,  what should i do then ?
[18:01] <undecim> Guest67871, You haven't used windows lately?
[18:02] <undecim> Guest67871, i.e. since you were last able to open the drive?
[18:02] <Guest67871> undecim,  i did, its the same pc /dual boot, so i dont understand how is this possible since i have now log in xubuntu
[18:02] <undecim> Guest67871, I would definitely try the Windows shutdown before continuing.
[18:03] <Guest67871> undecim,  so how should i shut it down ? i dont understand
[18:03] <undecim> Guest67871, it's possible that the error is not correct in what the problem is. If
[18:03] <undecim> Guest67871, What version of windows?
[18:03] <Guest67871> windows 8.1
[18:04] <squinty> Guest67871:  you may have caused an improper shutdown on the Windows side of things.  boot into windows and shutdown properly.  you can also run chkdsk on the windows side to make sure your file system is ok
[18:04] <undecim> Guest67871, Have you disable Fast startup? That might have something to do with the drive state
[18:04] <Guest67871> undecim,  8.1 pro media centre
[18:04] <undecim> Guest67871, I don't think you can even boot Xubuntu with fast startup enabled, but it won't hurt to check.
[18:04] <undecim> let me find a link to the info for that
[18:04] <Guest67871> is that in BIOS ?
[18:04] <undecim> Guest67871, Its a Windows option
[18:05] <krishanchaitanya> i need a nginx webserver to proxy two localhost applications on a single bootstrap template. can anyone please tell me how to do that?
[18:05] <squinty> Guest67871:  please address the person you are responding to with their nick
[18:05] <undecim> Guest67871, When in windows, follow the instructions here to ensure that Fast Startup is disabled: http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-or-enable-fast-startup-in-windows-8-1/
[18:05] <undecim> squinty, the recipient knows who he is
[18:06] <bubbasaures> !who
[18:06] <undecim> Guest67871, Then, make sure you click the "Shut Down" option (not neccesarily the power icon)
[18:06] <Guest67871> squinty, undecim  is there a command in trminal to check current state of windows..e.ii hibernating/in use,etc..??
[18:07] <undecim> Guest67871, I'm sure there is some way to do it... But the NTFS driver says the drive is in a bad state, and you shouldn't trust Linux to fix that
[18:08] <Guest67871> undecim,  ok ill check link, also, you mention to run check disk for eror, is that in windows or do i run this command from terminal ?
[18:08] <bubbasaures> !uefi | Guest67871 this is the official wiki
[18:08] <bubbasaures> read that first
[18:09] <Guest67871> bubbasaures,  what ?
[18:09] <undecim> Guest67871, any checkdisk operations for NTFS disks should be run from windows
[18:09] <Zaitzev> Does anyone here happen to have an ASUS laptop, of newer date?
[18:09] <bubbasaures> Guest67871, That linik is the official ubuntu wiki on this exact sistuation.
[18:09] <Zaitzev> I'm wondering what the F-key for quick boot menu is (I guess F9 but might be wrong)
[18:09] <lotuspsychje> undecim: testdisk can test ntfs partiotions also
[18:09] <undecim> Guest67871, NTFS is a Windows thing. So by definition, Windows does it right
[18:09] <undecim> lotuspsychje, What kind of information does it give?
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | undecim
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: how is that Ubuntu related?
[18:10] <undecim> lotuspsychje, I can google testdisk. You just seemed to have the information in context...
[18:10] <Zaitzev> It's going to have Ubuntu installed on it from a USB drive
[18:10] <squinty> Guest67871:  chkdsk    ask in Windows related channel.
[18:10] <Guest67871> bubbasaures, undecim , ubottu  ok thx gents, guess i g a bit of reading to start weekend
[18:10] <undecim> ActionParsnip, You need to know it to boot Ubuntu. A lot of Ubuntuers have needed to know the info...
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: then you dont want quick boot, you want the boot menu to choose the boot device, so you can select usb...no?
[18:11] <Zaitzev> Yes
[18:11] <undecim> Zaitzev, You can Google your computer model to find out
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: that's not "quick boot"
[18:11] <Zaitzev> I tried, no dice
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: F11 or F12 is usual
[18:13] <Zaitzev> thank you :)
[18:14] <SrPx> Hello, could anyone recommend a premium notebook / ultrabook that gives the same feeling as a macbook, except for ubuntu? I tried installing ubuntu on my mac and it was terrible. GPU on 100% of the time, overheating, it doesn't know how to deal with closing the lid (system error instead of sleep), etc etc. :(
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> SrPx: this is ubuntu support, try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:15] <SrPx> my bad, thank you :) ActionParsnip
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> SrPx: or do you want to troubleshoot your curret system?
[18:15] <Encrypt> Hello there o/
[18:15] <SrPx> ActionParsnip: not now, thanks! :)
[18:15] <Encrypt> Any Tox user on Ubuntu here?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> SrPx: nw :)
[18:16] <Encrypt> I'm joining the dev team of Tox
[18:16] <Encrypt> And I'll implement (if I succeed) the Ubuntu integration with Unity
[18:16] <Encrypt> I'd like to know what you'd prefer
[18:16] <egregius> hi

[18:18] <ActionParsnip> thanks
[18:21] <TingelTangelTom> Hello all, i have a question to start to programs with one click, who can Help me?
[18:21] <TingelTangelTom> Sry i mean two programs
[18:22] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, Sounds simple. You using normal Ubuntu? (not Xubuntu, Lubuntu)
[18:22] <TingelTangelTom> Yepp 14.10 LTS
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> TingelTangelTom: 14.10 is not LTS
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> TingelTangelTom: 14.10 is only supported til July 2015
[18:23] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, So what you need to do is create a custom launcher script
[18:24] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, the first answer on this page explains that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/78730/how-do-i-add-a-custom-launcher
[18:24] <TingelTangelTom> right undecim
[18:24] <TingelTangelTom> i look at the link, thx dude
[18:24] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, For the exec line, you need something like Exec=sh -c 'command1 & ; command 2 &'
[18:25] <undecim> This will run both commands (apps) simultaenously
[18:26] <undecim> You could also just write a shell script and put it on your desktop. It's quicker, but uglier (no custom icon, no option to add to unity menu)
[18:26] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim hui many input for me noob...
[18:26] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, what?
[18:28] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim I will start an ADS-B decoder and than the WebServer, now i start two terminal windows and write the commands
[18:28] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim i think they give an "easier" method
[18:29] <TingelTangelTom> Sry for my terrible english
[18:29] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, It's okay
[18:29] <jhutchins> !de
[18:30] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, Do you need the terminal windows to remain after the applications are started?
[18:30] <PraiseTorvalds> stop segregation between user and kernelspace! software should be able to decide where it wants to run on its own!
[18:30] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim no, oppiste direction... terminal starts the programm
[18:30] <undecim> PraiseTorvalds, But what about the owners of the kernelspace! what about THEIR rights?
[18:31] <bubbasaures> PraiseTorvalds, just free helpers here bro not really a ubuntu support issue.
[18:31] <bubbasaures> we are just the users of the software
[18:32] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, That is what happens currently?
[18:32] <Guest62641> hello ubuntu community. is anyone using ubuntu studio?
[18:32] <bubbasaures> Guest62641, There are on their chanel
[18:32] <Guest62641> how do I get to their channel?
[18:33] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim, i need a noob friendly manual to write a shell or what ever
[18:33] <bubbasaures> Guest62641, same OS as here so you have full support here #ubuntustudio I think
[18:33] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, You want is this?: One click will open 2 terminal windows, each already running the commands?
[18:34] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, Or one click will launch the commands, without using terminal windows?
[18:35] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim Sry No, i will take one click and then start up the decoder and than the webserver
[18:35] <undecim> TingelTangelTom, Will the terminal windows be visible or not visible?
[18:35] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim, yeah the last message is it
[18:35] <squinty> Guest62641:  #ubuntu-studio
[18:36] <bubbasaures> mine was correct
[18:36] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim, that is not important
[18:36] <bubbasaures> both get there however ;)
[18:36] <squinty> bubbasaures:  yep :)
[18:36] <TingelTangelTom> @undecim Can we talk in a dialog?
[18:43] <TvL2386> hi guys, I just upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 but noticed I have kernel 3.13 and not 3.16. Should I do something to get it?
[18:44] <TvL2386> is it as easy as "apt-get install linux-image-3.16.0-29-generic"?
[18:44] <compdoc> nothign but apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:44] <bubbasaures> TvL2386, Should of happened in the upgrade.
[18:44] <TvL2386> already tried that compdoc, but it doesn't find anything to update
[18:45] <TvL2386> already done "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"
[18:45] <bubbasaures> TvL2386, What do you see if you run sudo update-grub
[18:45] <TvL2386> bubbasaures, it only finds: Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-5-generic
[18:45] <TvL2386> Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-5-generic
[18:45] <compdoc> TvL2386, you dont think you have the kernel youre supposed to?
[18:46] <TvL2386> compdoc, I thought 14.04 had 3.13 and thought I would get 3.16 when upgrading to 14.10
[18:46] <bubbasaures> TvL2386, your correct as you should have a 3.16,
[18:46] <TvL2386> I'm mainly upgrading because some btrfs filesystem full errors that have been haunting are supposed to be solved in 3.14
[18:47] <TvL2386> so: if I would install linux-image-3.16.0-29-generic can I expect to be on the correct train afterwards?
[18:47] <YamakasY> in which package is get ?
[18:48] <bubbasaures> YamakasY, "get"? Context?
[18:48] <YamakasY> bubbasaures, get, url
[18:48] <YamakasY> no whet
[18:48] <YamakasY> wget
[18:48] <bekks> "get, url" - which contect?
[18:48] <bubbasaures> YamakasY, never seen it here is all.
[18:48] <bekks> *context
[18:49] <TvL2386> I did have GET at some point in ubuntu
[18:49] <Guest66688> undecim,  it work ... switch off the fast log in on windows 8 and drives now mount fine in xubuntu
[18:49] <YamakasY> TvL2386, which I neede
[18:49] <TvL2386> I have YamakasY
[18:49] <bekks> HTTP GET is not a commandline tool.
[18:49] <YamakasY> it should be possible
[18:49] <bekks> It isnt.
[18:49] <TvL2386> libwww-perl: /usr/bin/GET
[18:49] <undecim> Guest66688, Good to hear. Thanks for reporting back
[18:49] <bekks> !file /usr/bin/GET
[18:50] <TvL2386> gonna install kernel 3.16
[18:50] <bekks> According to ubottu, /usr/bin/GET is in no known package
[18:50] <Guest66688>  thanks for help gents...much appreciated
[18:51] <TvL2386> bekks, my apt-file search /usr/bin/GET on freshly update 14.10 begs to differ
[18:51] <compdoc> The Ubuntu 14.10 release delivers a v3.16 based kernel. This brings a significant number of bug fixes and new hardware support including expanded architecture support for Power 8 and arm64 platforms.
[18:51] <TvL2386> yeah compdoc: I do "apt-get install linux-image-generic" and output is: "The following extra packages will be installed: linux-image-3.16.0-29-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-29-generic thermald"
[18:51] <bekks> TvL2386: So which package provides /usr/bin/GET ?
 libwww-perl: /usr/bin/GET @bekks
[18:52] <compdoc> TvL2386, when you boot, if you hit a key when it asks, you can select the kernel to boot. ever try that?
[18:52] <Dominique> Hmpf, wondering why Ubuntu 14.04 desktop decides to mess up the partition table upon install with encrypting the disk..
[18:53] <Dominique> Is this a known issue?
[18:53] <TvL2386> compdoc, I did update-grub as bubbasaures asked to show the available kernels and I only had 3.13....
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> bekks: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/libwww-perl/filelist
[18:53] <bubbasaures> Dominique, table damage no
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> YamakasY: why not use wget?
[18:53] <compdoc> TvL2386, very strange
[18:53] <undecim> How can I execute a shell script on the desktop in 14.04?
[18:54] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Yeah, just searched for it, too.
[18:54] <macobo_> Stupid question - what's might cause for this: after running a python script, bash doesn't echo my input anymore. Hitting enter stacks my prompt lines.
[18:54] <macobo_> To reset, I need to run the `reset` command.
[18:54] <Dominique> bubbasaures: Well it created a GPT partition table with boot flag on a fat32?! partition.
[18:54] <macobo_> But I'm curious to why my program is causing that
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> undecim: gnome-terminal --command="some commands here"
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> macobo_: try:    source ~/.bashrc
[18:55] <undecim> ActionParsnip, No, I mean there is launch.sh on ~/Desktop, and I want to launch it withotu a terminal
[18:55] <bubbasaures> Dominique, sounds like a uefi bios and a uefi boot.
[18:55] <undecim> ActionParsnip, It just opens gedit. Context menu gives no option to execute (permissions are good)
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> undecim: so, in the background?
[18:55] <undecim> Correct
[18:56] <macobo_> ActionParsnip: I know how to get rid of the error once it appears, but I'm curious as to why it's happening.
[18:56] <bubbasaures> Dominique, You know that the partitions from the outside look like unallocated? Details are really key here for the channel. ;)
[18:56] <hmg> hello, Im trying to run some really old 32-bit software. does anyone know whats the oldest version of 32-bit ubuntu that works on virtualbox? I tried installing Warty (4.10) but it couldnt find any physical hard disks to partition
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> macobo_: sounds like its playing with variables in $env
[18:57] <Guest66688> undecim, just 1 more question, trying to install xarawebstyle using wine, however get message saying that i require internet explorer version 5 or above, any ideas how to get round this problem
[18:58] <TvL2386> compdoc, Linux laptole 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 15 22:27:29 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:58] <bubbasaures> Dominique, From the live disc/usb show the channel sudo parted -l in a pastebin it will give more detail, I have to take off to do some work. ;)
[18:58] <Dominique> bubbasaures: the fat32 is allocated and so are the others; there is a 244MiB ext2 partition which I recon is the actual boot partition, and yes the machine is likely in uefi as it's a business laptop which normally comes with Windows
[18:58] <undecim> Guest66688, No clue
[18:58] <undecim> Guest66688, Try google
[18:58] <Guest66688> undecim, ok thx
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> undecim: does it need to run at startup each time?
[18:59] <macobo_> ActionParsnip: Interesting theory, what causes you to think that? If I remove the explicit environment munging from the script, after running it it still doesn't echo my keypresses.
[18:59] <Dominique> I'm not really asking for help on how to fix it, just wondering if it's a bug that it creates a partition with fat32, seems like one to me.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> undecim: you could add it to /etc/rc.local   use su to run it as your user and you may need a "sleep" command to add a pause if the command requires the X server to be running
[19:00] <undecim> ActionParsnip, no, I'm helping TingelTangelTom create a launcher. Created a shell script, and thought i could execute it with right-click or double-click like in previous versions of Ubuntu.
[19:00] <undecim> But there is no option at all
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> macobo_: if:  source ~/.bashrc" resolves it, then the default settings from the file are being clobbered by the script
[19:00] <SuperLag> I have a ThinkPad W530 with Nvidia & Intel GPUs in it. I've got Optimus *DISABLED* and I have the graphics card set to Discrete. That's supposed to load only the Nvidia card, but it's not working. Now I'm only getting a blinking cursor on boot
[19:01] <BluesKaj> !nvidia-prime
[19:01] <apb1963> I had to reboot this morning because kwin was hogging the cpu, load was over 12... and when it came back up the resolution was all wrong.  I can't figure out how to change the resolution.   ubuntu 14.04 with kde.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> SuperLag, think nvidia-prime is the driver you need for such a setup
[19:06] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: when I installed nvidia-331, nvidia-prime was one of the packages that got installe
[19:06] <SuperLag> installed, that is
[19:06] <BluesKaj> yes, for optimus setups
[19:06] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: I'm confused.
[19:07] <k1l> iirc is nvidia-prime a depency for the nvidia driver at all.
[19:08] <BluesKaj> SuperLag,  afaik  there's no need to disable the lower level motherboard gpu with the nvidia-prime on linux
[19:09] <z0ran> i just installed xubuntu on my laptop, the only problem is i dont have net only for my browser....what did i do wrong
[19:09] <pentagrass> I have a process running that I would like to give more CPU and more resources.. how would I do this? nice? renice? I'm not too familiar with the two
[19:11] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: well, if I leave it on Nvidia Optimus and let it do the switching, i have no blank screen with a blinking cursor. However, when I plug my laptop into its docking station, where the two external displays are connected, it should switch to Nvidia.
[19:11] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: and let me activate the two external displays... but that's hot happening
[19:12] <mitt> z0ran: you had net during the install?
[19:12] <z0ran> sure
[19:12] <z0ran> i can ping and update
[19:13] <mitt> z0ran: error messages?
[19:13] <TheNet> nah I wasn't there
[19:13] <z0ran> i cant find none...only the browser is saying that is page not available
[19:14] <z0ran> i can ping google
[19:14] <z0ran> i can install packages also
[19:14] <z0ran> weird
[19:14] <BluesKaj> SuperLag, ok, a docking stn setup is different and beyond my experience
[19:14] <Pgx13> hi
[19:15] <mitt> z0ran: try another browser and/or check  Firefox preferences
[19:15] <Pgx13> how can i make a clean reinstallation of unity on 14.04 lts?
[19:15] <z0ran> i did try chrome, same thing
[19:15] <mitt> Pgx13: install synaptic, click reinstall on unity-desktop
[19:16] <Pgx13> thanks
[19:16] <mitt> z0ran: try add addtional DNS server with 8.8.8.8
[19:16] <mitt> in nm applet
[19:16] <Pgx13> mitt, can i do it from gnome?
[19:17] <z0ran> mitt ff was using proxy by default...taht was problem....thank you anyway :)
[19:17] <mitt> Pgx13: of course, it would be even better, in terms of if you don't like the way Unity works, you can purge it, and then install, would be cleaner
[19:18] <mitt> z0ran: now works?
[19:18] <Nedal> Hey guys, I can t read audios on firefox .. I have to install extra media plugins but it doesn t work. they say toterm-plugin-viewer requires to install plugins to play media files when I go install, a window comes out with the following content ( Package depencies cannot be resolved) ... Anyone can help ??
[19:19] <Pgx13> mitt, I unistalled by apt-get autoremove --purge unity and i''m in gnome now, shall i just reinstall unity?
[19:19] <z0ran> mitt, now is great :)
[19:19] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: oh. I thought you knew *everything* about *EVERYTHING* :)
[19:20] <mitt> Pgx13: you wanna do apt-get purge unity-desktop, apt-get autoremove, and then reinstall it
[19:20] <mitt> z0ran: cheers
[19:20] <Pgx13> thank you
[19:20] <mitt> welcome
[19:20] <BluesKaj> SuperLag, sorry to give that impression, definitely not meant that way :)
[19:21] <Nedal> can anyone help ... please
[19:22] <mitt> Nedal: don't write things like this in IRC, just ask:)
[19:22] <Nedal> mitt I asked but no one answers
[19:22] <pragmaticenigma> !patience | Nedal
[19:23] <mitt> Nedal: sorry, didn't see; install synaptic,then it will find broken dependencies
[19:23] <mitt> or in terminal
[19:23] <bekks> Nedal: So whats the content of that window popping up, regarding the missing dependencies?
[19:24] <nokiomanz> Hi all, My machine memory is getting lower as day go by after a few search i found out that the command slabtop show that dentry is getting bigger and bigger. Is there a way to find out what is filling the dentry?
[19:25] <Nedal> bekks it says  Package depencies connot be resolved ( This error could  could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable)
[19:25] <bekks> nokiomanz: Just look at the VSZ and RSS columns of "ps aux", e.g.
[19:26] <bekks> Nedal: nothing more?
[19:26] <mitt> Nedal: this means you do not have some repositories
[19:26] <Nedal> bekks Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
[19:26] <Nedal> mitt What should I do ?
[19:27] <avid_fan> Nedal: Looks like Totem has a support IRC channel of its own, irc://irc.gimp.org/#totem. You might also try there.
[19:28] <mitt> Nedal: first try install these packages via terminal, it will say what is missing, then go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/, find missing ones and add repositories
[19:28] <SuperLag> BluesKaj: no, I know better. Just being silly. :)
[19:29] <Nedal> mitt I will try and see if it works
[19:30] <BluesKaj> SuperLag, yeah, a little humour is good when try to solve problems :)
[19:30] <nokiomanz> bekks: I did but nothing out of the ordinary which is what got me confused
[19:30] <BluesKaj> trying
[19:31] <avid_fan> Nedal: What version of Ubuntu, Firefox, and the Totem plugin are you using? Is it possible to get the URL with the audio you're trying to play?
[19:33] <nokiomanz> bekks: for information the dentry says it is 11G in size
[19:35] <Nedal> avid_fam Ububtu LTS 14.04  Firefox 35.0 .. and I dont know what Totem plugin means
[19:39] <bishopstix> Urgent help needed, I have downloaded a package from nooblabs apps, it did not fully install, now I can remove it nor reinstall it, and it has paralyzed my apt-get, can't update or upgrade or do anything. Also my boot space is full! I have tried everything clean, autoclean, synaptic manager, etc
[19:39] <bekks> nokiomanz: That value is totally meaningless without seeing ps and free -m :)
[19:40] <mitt> bishopstix: you can locate installed parts of the package with catfish or like it, and delete them manually
[19:41] <BluesKaj> bishopstix, sudo dpkg -r nameofpackage , then try to reinstall if you're brave :)
[19:41] <TheVerge> Hey folks
[19:42] <TheVerge> I have a playback issue for media files
[19:42] <bishopstix> BluesKaj: I tried that! no way I reinstall!
[19:42] <bishopstix> mitt: haven't tried catfish will try now thanks
[19:42] <TheVerge> I recently got a radeon 5450 to go inside my n40L to turn it into a htpc
[19:43] <TheVerge> When I try to play the video files, sometimes they play choppy, and othertimes they play fine but the audio is out of sync
[19:43] <TheVerge> any thoughts
[19:43] <TheVerge> I'm running ubuntu 14.04
[19:43] <TheVerge> desktop
[19:43] <mitt> bishopstix: or force the removing of your package
[19:44] <bishopstix> mitt: the problem is that ubuntu is not recognizing that the package is installed
[19:44] <bishopstix> mitt: so can't purge, can't remove can't use dpkg etc
[19:45] <apb1963>  I had to reboot this morning because kwin was hogging the cpu, load was over 12... and when it came back up the resolution was all wrong.  I can't figure out how to change the resolution.   ubuntu 14.04 with kde.
[19:46] <avid_fan> Nedal: It's definitely old, so I'm not sure how relavent it is, but Totem is/was a media player for Ubuntu. It has/had a plugin for Firefox. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxPlugins#Totem_Plugin
[19:46] <mitt> bishopstix: then locate this package in your system, parts with catfish
[19:48] <avid_fan> Nedal: There might be a different plugin for Firefox that would allow you to play the content from the website.
[19:48] <xangua> avid_fan: totem is the default gnome player, what website¿
[19:50] <avid_fan> xangua: Don't have that info.
[19:52] <undecim> Is there an app that will allow you to write a shell script and create a launcher for it? Because if not, I will create it
[19:53] <TheVerge> Anyone :-D
[19:53] <semitones> Hey all -- i have dropbox in ubuntu's startup programs, but it never starts unless I run it manually. Can someone help me troubleshoot this so it will start automatically?
[19:53] <bishopstix> mitt: installed catfish from .tar.gz (as I can't use apt-get) after running it, it can't find my package..
[19:54] <bubbasaures> semitones, This your command dropbox start -i
[19:54] <BluesKaj> Nedal, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:54] <Jordan_U> semitones: How did you configured "ubuntu's startup programs"?
[19:55] <semitones> Jordan_U, the startup programs application from unity's search. and bubbasaures, it is ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd
[19:55] <mitt> bishopstix: don't forget to change the folders you checking, from $USER to File system
[19:55] <avid_fan> TheVerge: What are you using for playback?
[19:56] <TheVerge> SMPlayer at the moment
[19:56] <TheVerge> avid_fan
[19:56] <OerHeks>  undecim not yet AFAIK, maybe this page is any help creating such app https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[19:56] <bishopstix> mitt: yes just did that and so if I manually delete this it will be good?
[19:56] <mitt> bishopstix: yes, this will work fine
[19:57] <semitones> Jordan_U, are you familiar with the startup programs application?
[19:57] <semitones> "Startup Applications"
[19:57] <bubbasaures> semitones, that was from dropboxes load to the starup applications
[19:57] <squinty> semitones:  if you didn't use the dropbox installer from the dropbox site, suggest you try that.  after initial install, click on dropbox in menu, and the rest of the install should proceed.  dropbox will automatically set your system up to start dropbox upon booting
[19:57] <bubbasaures> their load
[19:57] <undecim> I justed helped someone create one and the process was longer and more error-prone than previous Ubuntu versions. Used to be I could just write a shell script, chmod a+x, then double-click it. The click-to-launch doesn't work anymore
[19:57] <semitones> squidly, I did use it though, but it didn't automatically start up
[19:57] <avid_fan> TheVerge: I've not used SMPlayer, but have you tried to use MPLayer straight from command-line?
[19:57] <undecim> It's a regression, in my book.
[19:57] <Nedal> BlueKaj what s that ?
[19:58] <TheVerge> avid_fan, no i havent
[19:58] <semitones> bubbasaures, I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand
[19:58] <TheVerge> avid_fan, although I believe SMPlayer is an MPlayer front end
[19:58] <NinjaCowboy> My Windows parition is the first partiton on my hard disk, and my Ubuntu partition is the second. Is there a way to shrink a partition from the beginning of it? By that, I mean shrinking the Ubuntu partition from the beginning to make more room for the Windows partition.
[19:58] <xangua> bishopstix: why you can't use apt? and if you install from soruce it won't appear in your package manager of course
[19:58] <semitones> squinty, when I installed it, the main installer didn't point to the latest version, so I found the latest version and installed that using whatever instructions it had
[19:59] <avid_fan> TheVerge: Right, if you try to play from the terminal, you might get some output from MPlayer as to why the issue(s).
[19:59] <TheVerge> avid_fan, which driver should I use, the open source one or the proprietary one?
[19:59] <bubbasaures> semitones, close dropbox and run that command in the terminal. Dropbox on install puts the startup application together for you.
[19:59] <avid_fan> TheVerge: Also, I'd suggest trying VLC for playback.
[19:59] <avid_fan> TheVerge: I can't speak to the AMD driver. Don't have one.
[19:59] <squinty> semitones:  please reread what I typed.  I just installed it on another box using that exact method last night without any problems
[20:00] <mitt> TheVerge: my favourite one is Parole media player, never had problems with it
[20:00] <squinty> NinjaCowboy:  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual
[20:00] <semitones> bubbasaures, I don't think I have "dropbox" on a command on my system
[20:00] <semitones> ok listen everybody
[20:00] <bubbasaures> semitones, are you going to try?
[20:00] <semitones> i have a simple problem
[20:01] <semitones> bubbasaures, yeah "dropbox is not installed"
[20:01] <semitones> I have a simple problem that a command I want to run at startup is not running
[20:02] <mitt> semitones: first to know if startup programme is running or not you need to reboot
[20:02] <bubbasaures> semitones, YOU say it can be started than it is not installed, that makes no sense.
[20:03] <jrg> hm. i was discussing this earlier
[20:03] <semitones> bubbasaures, it's installed in my local directory, not systemwide
[20:03] <jrg> what is the best thign to use in order to sync an iphone/pod?
[20:03] <jrg> using ubuntu
[20:03] <semitones> mitt, It's been in startup applications for months now and I have to start it manually each time I reboot
[20:03] <mitt> jrg: from the cloud?
[20:03] <jrg> no
[20:03] <jrg> otherwise i'd just use plex :/
[20:03] <NinjaCowboy> squinty: Thanks. Looks like a nice program.
[20:04] <wonderworld> semitones: try to use the full path to the program in the properties for the launcher in startup applications
[20:04] <jrg> mitt: plex doesn't agree well when connected to my car via usb or bt
[20:04] <jrg> so i guess i have to actually use the iphone music player
[20:04] <squinty> NinjaCowboy:  yw.   you can installe
[20:04] <semitones> wonderworld, thanks, I'll try that and see if it works
[20:04] <squinty> oops
[20:04] <mitt> semitones: did you check out that application you've been advised? Called "Startup" or like that? type in the Dash to open
[20:04] <jrg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[20:04] <jrg> ah ok.. seems lkethat has some information for it
[20:05] <Ben_g> Hi
[20:05] <jrg> seems like banshee might be the best bet
[20:05] <jrg> i should try it out
[20:05] <squinty> NinjaCowboy:  gparted is available in the repo's but it is also available on the livedvd (ubuntu iso) and the recommended method is to use that to boot from
[20:05] <TheVerge> avid_fan, mplayer  says my system is too slow to play the file lol
[20:06] <avid_fan> TheVerge: lol. Awesome.
[20:06] <mitt> jrg: if you want to find the best bet; you got a big choice
[20:06] <bubbasaures> Ben_g, welcome
[20:06] <Ben_g> I've connected a PS3 controller to my laptop, but for compatibility reasons with games, I need to emulate it as an xbox controller
[20:06] <avid_fan> TheVerge: Well there's your problem.
[20:06] <Ben_g> I've tried sudo xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver --mimic-xpad options, but that gives me an error
[20:06] <jrg> mitt: ?
[20:07] <jrg> mitt: what is the big choice? heh... i just wnt to sync my iphone music library with ubuntu
[20:07] <jrg> instead of using itunes
[20:07] <Ben_g> This is the error it gives me: [ERROR] spawn_exe(): options: exec failed: No such file or directory
[20:07] <jrg> looks like the best choice on that ubuntu help page is banshee
[20:07] <jrg> so i'll try that out.. i can live without syncing playlists
[20:07] <Ben_g> Is there a way to get it to work?
[20:07] <mitt> jrg: rhythmbox also has some syncing features
[20:07] <bishopstix> mitt: man it's just stuck.. i deleted all files and it still tells me that the package needs to be reinstalled when i try to install my other packages
[20:09] <mitt> bishopstix: compile that noobslab package from the source, if it's Ambiance or whatever colour suite, they provide the source tarballs on their website
[20:09] <avid_fan> bishopstix: Just curious, what's the name of the package?
[20:09] <Ben_g> Or is there maybe an other way to emulate a PS3 controller as xbox controller?
[20:10] <TheVerge> avid_fan, :-(
[20:10] <maduko> Hi all, is there any way to boot into recovery mode when a computer has full disk encryption?
[20:10] <jrg> let me try out banshee
[20:10] <semitones> mitt, I've been using that from the getgo :)
[20:10] <jrg> worst i'll do is screw up my iphone lol
[20:10] <semitones> it's called startup applications
[20:10] <bishopstix> mitt: i just tried to reinstall the package i think it worked but now I got a new error.. arghh
[20:10] <Aytac> http://forum.ircalem.net
[20:10] <bishopstix> avid_fan: package is xix-media-player
[20:11] <bubbasaures> maduko, You might address the issue why you want recovery.
[20:11] <Aytac> http://forum.ircalem.net
[20:11] <maduko> I
[20:11] <Aytac> http://forum.ircalem.net
[20:11] <squinty> Aytac:  take it elsewhere or the ops will ban you
[20:11] <bubbasaures> Aytac, stop please
[20:11] <DJones> Aytac: Please stop spamming that link
[20:11] <maduko> bubbasaures: I'm on a trip and I locked myself out of my computer.
[20:12] <maduko> bubbasaures: been using stumpwm and I changed the keyboard with xmodmap and now there is no way to do anything :(
[20:12] <Aytac> squidly
[20:12] <bubbasaures> maduko, Ah, bummer, I would address that if i were me, you want to be careful if you want the stuff inside, if at all possible now.
[20:12] <Aytac> ok
[20:13] <undecim> maduko, You should be able to change the keyboard back from a vt
[20:13] <bubbasaures> it*
[20:14] <maduko> undecim: vt? virtual terminal?
[20:14] <undecim> maduko, press ctrl+alt+f1, log in, type "export DISPLAY=:0", and you should be able to run xmodmap as if it were in a terminal on your desktop
[20:14] <undecim> maduko, assuming that :0 is your current display. you can use the "w" command to check
[20:14] <bubbasaures> undecim, really where when locked out?
[20:14] <bishopstix> mitt
[20:14] <maduko> undecim: thanks, I'll give it a shot right now
[20:15] <undecim> bubbasaures, If X is locked, it should affect the vt?
[20:15] <undecim> shouldn't*
[20:15] <bubbasaures> undecim, It is the computer not X
[20:15] <bekks> undecim: No.
[20:15] <undecim> How is the computer locked?
[20:16] <maduko> bubbasaures: I can log in since I know the password, I just can't do anything once it boots into stumpwm because my keyboard is changed
[20:16] <bishopstix> avid_fan: now it looks like the xix-media-player is working but I got an error while trying to update linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic and boot space is almost full
[20:16] <bubbasaures> maduko, Ah, well helps to know all of what's going on.
[20:17] <TheVerge> avid_fan, I installed the gui using apt-get install ubuntu-desktop from the server edition
[20:17] <squinty> bishopstix:  use synaptic package manager to remove older kernels.  recommended is to leave one or two of the older ones for emergencies
[20:17] <TheVerge> avid_fan, how would I now remove it to get back to the server edition?
[20:18] <bishopstix> squinty: ok thanks
[20:18] <Ben_g> does nobody know how I can fix the xbox360 gamepad emulation?
[20:19] <squinty> bishopstix:  search for "linux-image" in synaptic (installed ones will have green box) also look for install  "-extra"'s associated with a linux image version
[20:19] <undecim> TheVerge, You could use a program called aptitude to deselect ubuntu-desktop, then reselect ubuntu-server. All ubuntu-desktop packages that are not part of ubuntu-server will be removed
[20:19] <undecim> TheVerge, There's probably some way to do the same thing with dpkg, but I couldn't tell you
[20:20] <xangua> undecim: no, they won't; ubuntu-server is just a metapackage
[20:20] <bishopstix> squinty: mark for complete removal?
[20:20] <xangua> as ubuntu-desktop
[20:20] <undecim> xangua, I've done it before....
[20:20] <undecim> xangua, when you re-select ubunt-server, at adds all the packages it depends on
[20:20] <OerHeks> Ben_g, you are the first one who wants to emulate xbox gamepad with a ps3 controller
[20:20] <mugetsu> hi i'm running ubuntu 14.04 lts and i need help troubleshooting my bluetooth
[20:21] <undecim> Actually, i correct myself. You don't select the package with aptitude. You select the section
[20:21] <undecim> I think its under "tasks"
[20:21] <squinty> bishopstix:  yes
[20:21] <Ben_g> OerHeks: Some steam games don't work correctly with a PS3 controller
[20:21] <TheVerge> undecim, is that a gui application
[20:21] <xangua> undecim: got it wrong, thought you were saying removing the metapackage will remove the other packages ;)
[20:21] <undecim> TheVerge, it is a curses applications
[20:21] <mugetsu> there are no hard blocks or soft blocks, but none of my blue tooth devices are disoverable
[20:22] <undecim> xangua, I thought that's what i was saying too XD
[20:22] <TheVerge> undecim, a what lol
[20:22] <Ben_g> And I know xboxdrv is supposed to support it, but for some reason it just errors on my laptop
[20:22] <undecim> TheVerge, CLI application
[20:22] <Ben_g> (the PS3 drivers do work though)
[20:22] <undecim> TheVerge, curses just means that instead of being line-by-line, it has a gui-like screen. You'll see what I mean
[20:23] <TheVerge> undecim, now I see what you mean yes
[20:23] <undecim> TheVerge, The bottom section is called "Tasks"
[20:23] <undecim> TheVerge, In there you should find ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server
[20:23] <bishopstix> squinty: looks like everything is working thanks!
[20:23] <TheVerge> installing it now
[20:23] <undecim> TheVerge, highlight ubuntu-desktop, press "-", then highlight ubuntu-server, press +
[20:23] <squinty> bishopstix: good to hear and thanks for the update. :)
[20:23] <mugetsu> i've tried a few things but i don't know what to do
[20:24] <undecim> TheVerge, then press "g" and make sure the package removal list looks sane
[20:25] <bishopstix> squinty: It is you guys to thank for helping us!
[20:25] <undecim> TheVerge, hmm. Looks like the "ubuntu-server" task was renamed to "server"?
[20:25] <undecim> TheVerge, Just make sure all your important packages are still there.
[20:26] <mugetsu> hello?
[20:26] <undecim> Before you press "g" a second time to commit the changes
[20:26] <OerHeks> Ben_g, oh, the steam community has an article about that https://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/558748653738497361/
[20:26] <mugetsu> are there other users having problems with bluetooth connectivity on 14.04?
[20:27] <undecim> mugetsu, I can't get bluetooth to work at all
[20:27] <undecim> mugetsu, My hardware is recognized by the bluetooth stack, but just doesn't work
[20:27] <mugetsu> i can't get any of my devices to be seen by my PC, but the devices are discoverable
[20:28] <undecim> mugetsu, You might be suffering from the same bug as me
[20:28] <mugetsu> your hardware as in the PC hardware or the devices?
[20:29] <undecim> my PC hardware is seen, but I can't get it to do anything (including discover devices
[20:29] <undecim> Can other devices see your PC?
[20:31] <mugetsu> interesting, my phone is picking up the bluetooth id of my pc when it was running windows
[20:31] <undecim> mugetsu, Same here
[20:32] <mugetsu> i wonder if there is a command to reset it
[20:32] <undecim> mugetsu, I suspect it is firmware issue
[20:32] <mugetsu> the hardware all works, but i think that since it was used by windows there might be some issue there.
[20:33] <TheVerge> undecim, thanks :)
[20:33] <undecim> mugetsu, What model PC and/or dongle are you using?\
[20:33] <maduko> bubbasaures, undecim: Huzzah! I got root with recovery mode so I should be able to change xmodmap and have everything work. Thanks for the help!
[20:34] <mugetsu> an asus e1 572 with onboard bluetooth
[20:34] <undecim> maduko, Nice
[20:34] <mugetsu> i thinks its integrated with the wifi card
[20:34] <undecim> mugetsu, what is your wifi card chipset? (see "lspci")
[20:35] <mugetsu>  Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[20:36] <undecim> mugetsu, we're in the exact same situation then. I've search for a solution, but not found one.
[20:38] <lamppid_> how to create efi parition
[20:39] <undecim> mugetsu, From what I could find, we're lucky that our wifi works
[20:43] <mugetsu> that is messed up
[20:44] <undecim> I know it
[20:44] <arshia> I don't know is my USB destroyed or not. it does not have any file system. what should i do ?
[20:44] <undecim> I'm poking around with hci tool right now to see if I can get anything out of it...
[20:44] <undecim> arshia, probably get a new USB
[20:45] <arshia> undecim: I'm not sure is it destroyed or not. how to find that ??
[20:45] <undecim> arshia, Try "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/null" where /dev/sdX is your USB drive
[20:45] <undecim> arshia, if it runs into an error, then there is a problem with the drive
[20:46] <undecim> arshia, there's also a tool called badblocks for this sort of thing
[20:47] <arshia> undecim: The terminal is not respondig ...
[20:47] <undecim> arshia, It will take a minute
[20:47] <undecim> arshia, it's reading every bit of the drive
[20:47] <undecim> arshia, If there is a read error, it will tell you
[20:47] <undecim> arshia, it doesn't test write though
[20:48] <arshia> undecim: You said i should use badblocks. why ??
[20:48] <undecim> arshia, it is capable of testing write
[20:49] <arshia> how to get badblocks without the terminal ???
[20:49] <undecim> arshia, You could also do "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX".  just make absolutely sure that /dev/sdX is the right drive. It will write the entire drive with zeros
[20:49] <undecim> arshia, badblocks is command line application... i'm not sure if there is a GUI for it
[20:50] <arshia> undecim: where is it ?
[20:50] <arshia> undecim: I cannot enter a command for the terminal.
[20:50] <undecim> arshia, open a new terminal
[20:50] <arshia> Ok
[20:50] <undecim> arshia, or press control+c to cancel the DD command
[20:51] <gorelative> anyone here familiar with debmirror?
[20:52] <arshia> undecim: Terminal is working on the new command ...
[20:52] <filip2192> hello
[20:53] <arshia> undecim, How many times it will take ?
[20:54] <filip2192> clear
[20:54] <squinty> gorelative: better to just state your problem rather than "does anyone...."  :-)     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror     never used it myself so hopefully someone else will be able to chime in
[20:54] <filip2192> ;D
[20:55] <undecim> arshia, That depends on the drive, the USB link, and the alignment pattern of Saturn, Neptune, Alpha Centauri, and several undiscovered heavenly bodies
[20:55] <gorelative> squinty: yeah figured.. i run debmirror it syncs things up.. when i go to run apt-get update apt complains of binary-amd64/Packages missing
[20:55] <gorelative> so i go into that dir and all i see are Packages.gz and Packages.bz2
[20:56] <arshia> The drive is SilliconPower.
[20:56] <arshia> 8 GB
[20:57] <arshia> undecim: Why the filesystem is null ???
[20:57] <undecim> arshia, probably because the first sector was erased/corrupt
[20:57] <arshia> undecim: What first sector ???
[20:58] <undecim> arshia, You can get an idea of how far along it is. Type "sudo killall -SIGUSR1 dd" in another terminal, then look at the terminal with the dd command
[20:58] <undecim> arshia, The first 512 bytes of the drive
[20:58] <arshia> Got it.
[20:58] <isthisreallife> hi
[20:58] <arshia> undecim, What will "sudo killall -SIGUSR1 dd" do ????
[20:59] <isthisreallife> is it possible to set dolphin as default file manager in ubuntu?
[20:59] <undecim> arshia, sends a signal to all running dd processes that causes it to output its progress
[20:59] <arshia> Ok.
[20:59] <gorelative> This is my question on askubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/574547/debmirror-not-downloading-packages-404-not-found
[20:59] <undecim> arshia, also try: sudo watch 'killall -SIGUSR1 dd'
[21:01] <arshia> undecim, No result for "sudo killall -SIGUSR1 dd" , it will ignore it.
[21:01] <undecim> arshia, The result appears in the terminal with the dd command
[21:02] <arshia> Saw that.
[21:02] <arshia> the massage is :
[21:03] <arshia> undecim: the result is : 2401257+0 records in
[21:03] <arshia> 2401257+0 records out
[21:03] <arshia> 1229443584 bytes (1.2 GB) copied, 486.918 s, 2.5 MB/s
[21:03] <arshia> 2504297+0 records in
[21:03] <arshia> 2504297+0 records out
[21:03] <arshia> 1282200064 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 504.384 s, 2.5 MB/s
[21:03] <arshia> 2571329+0 records in
[21:03] <arshia> 2571329+0 records out
[21:04] <bekks> arshia: How much data are you trying to transfer using dd?
[21:04] <undecim> bekks, its a read test for 8GB usb drive
[21:04] <undecim> arshia, Did the command complete, or that is the result of the killall command?
[21:04] <bekks> undecim: To see how slow it will be? :)
[21:05] <undecim> bekks, to see if it's borked
[21:05] <arshia> i think it is the result of killall
[21:05] <undecim> arshia, it's at ~15% then.
[21:05] <bekks> undecim: Then badblocks would have been more usefull.
[21:05] <arshia> undecim, What's that mean ????
[21:05] <undecim> arshia, Means that the first 1.3 GB reads
[21:06] <undecim> arshia, I would stop at this point and try to create the FS with gparted
[21:06] <imbezol> you're not going to get a good speed with default blocksize
[21:06] <undecim> arshia, It's not a read error preventing the FS from being recognized if the first 1.2G is good
[21:06] <Neldogz> is there a command that will power off an external Western digial hard drive? Within the disks utility there is a power off button.. what command actually does that?
[21:06] <arshia> undecim: Ok , next ??
[21:06] <undecim> arshia, It might not write though. Create an fs and try copying files to it. Then make sure the files can be read and are identical to the source
[21:07] <undecim> arshia, use gparted to make a filesystem
[21:07] <imbezol> Neldogz: if it's properly unmounted you can just unplug it
[21:07] <arshia> undecim, How to create a FS ???
[21:07] <undecim> arshia, use Gparted
[21:07] <bekks> arshia: Create a partition with a filesyste on it, using gparted.
[21:08] <Neldogz> imbezol, the reason I am looking for a command is to add it to a cronjob on shutdown events.. WoL conflicts with external hard disks.. Causes the system to reboot instead of shutdown if the external hard drive is plugged in and turned on.
[21:08] <arshia> bekks: Explain more ... how  ???
[21:08] <bekks> arshia: BY clicking on the appropriate button in gparted?
[21:08] <imbezol> Neldogz: if the harddrive has power it's on.. there's no way to power it off
[21:09] <Neldogz> imbezol, if you open disks.. and you have an external hard drive connected.. do you also see a power off button?
[21:09] <arshia> bekks: I don't see any appropriate button .
[21:09] <bekks> arshia: So which buttons do you see? :)
[21:09] <imbezol> Neldogz: i don't have an external harddrive sorry
[21:10] <Neldogz> anyone know what command will correspond to this power off button in disks?
[21:10] <undecim> arshia, gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-create-new-partition
[21:10] <arshia> I don't know is it solved or not. i added a FAT32 filesystem to the USB.
[21:11] <arshia> the default was FAT32
[21:11] <Neldogz> ok more information, disks is actually gnome disks
[21:11] <Neldogz> and it uses udisks
[21:11] <undecim> arshia, now press the green check
[21:11] <undecim> arshia, And it will commit the changes
[21:12] <hey123> hi
[21:12] <hey123> wasssup
[21:12] <pentagrass> I'm using byobu (a wrapper for screen).. is there a way to protect a terminal from me hitting ctrl+c or ctrl+d??
[21:13] <undecim> Is it possible to sniff HCI traffic?
[21:13] <kirkland> pentagrass: define "protect"...
[21:13] <undecim> i.e. the link between Linux and the bluetooth hardware
[21:13] <pentagrass> kirkland: I don't want to accidentally hit ctrl+c and stop the process. I tried ctrl+s but I think that pauses the process
[21:13] <arshia> undecim: I see a green box , and the fs is fat32 , is it ok ????
[21:14] <undecim> arshia, Sounds good
[21:14] <kirkland> pentagrass: sure, you can tell Byobu to just "ignore" all ctrl-c presses
[21:14] <arshia> undecim: Well , lets test it !
[21:15] <arshia> undecim: How to see the USB files ???? I don't see it ?
[21:15] <arshia> ? __> .
[21:15] <undecim> arshia, After Gparted completes the changes, remove the USB and plug it back in
[21:15] <arshia> Hmmm...
[21:15] <bekks> arshia: you have to copy files onto it...
[21:16] <bekks> gparted doest do that :)
[21:16] <bekks> *doesnt
[21:19] <arshia> bekks: I don't see anything. is it bad ????
[21:19] <shadaloo> hi
[21:19] <shadaloo> i want to uninstall "Videos"
[21:19] <shadaloo> what package is this?
[21:20] <kroq-gar78> shadaloo I believe it's 'totem'
[21:20] <bekks> arshia: Did you mount the newly created filesystem?
[21:20] <arshia> undecim: Why i don't see anything again ???
[21:20] <shadaloo> kroq-gar78: that's right, good call sir
[21:21] <arshia> bekks: Not sure.'
[21:21] <bekks> !mount | arshia
[21:21] <undecim> arshia, You don't see the drive in the file browser?
[21:21] <arshia> undecim: No,
[21:22] <arshia> ubottu: I cannot mount it now.
[21:22] <undecim> arshia, If you used gparted correctly, then the only conclusions I can come to is the drive is broken
[21:22] <bekks> usuario: I dont come to that conclusion.
[21:22] <bekks> GNA.
[21:22] <bekks> undecim: ^
[21:23] <bekks> arshia: Mount the fs manually, then copy files to it, and compare them to the source.
[21:23] <arshia> bekks: Wait a minute...
[21:24] <b43> can anyone provide assistance in creating slideshows on lubuntu?
[21:25] <arshia> I think it is mounted.
[21:25] <undecim> b43, LibreOffice Impress is used for creating slideshows
[21:25] <b43> oh, is that the one like powerpoint?
[21:25] <undecim> b43, yup
[21:25] <b43> ok tyvm
[21:25] <jrg> neat. my keyboard cover thing for this laptop showed up. i hate not having one on a keyboard
[21:26] <jrg> seems like an iphone 5s is impossible to get to work in ubuntu directly. blah.
[21:26] <jrg> looks like i have to use a vm i suppose
[21:26] <arshia> undecim, I applied the operations. is it works ????
[21:26] <jrg> too bad MS can't release some microVM that simply installs stuff like this. or virtualbox can run a faux kernel and forward it to the xserver
[21:27] <arshia> undecim: The Mount menu was disabled , so i applied the operations.
[21:28] <arshia> undecim: I can see the USB , thanks form Everyone.
[21:37] <arshia> undecim: The second time i repluged , it doesn't see it in gparted and FIle explorer . why ?????!!!
[21:37] <undecim> arshia, check dmesg
[21:37] <undecim> arshia, in a terminal, do "dmesg | tail"

[21:42] <chompy> Hey guys. I am trying to do something that requires the java plugin in firefox. Every time I try to use it, it crashes
[21:42] <chompy> http://www.geforce.com/drivers is the link I'm visiting
[21:42] <bubbasaures> arshia, do not swear and use pastebin
[21:42] <chompy> can anyone give me some advice on how to keep it from crashing?
[21:42] <teward> chompy: what exactly is crashing
[21:42] <teward> the java plugin, or firefox, or neither?
[21:42] <chompy> teward: the java plugin
[21:42] <teward> chompy: and define "crashing" in context - what actually are you seeing
[21:42] <apb1963>  I lost my virtual desktops....  ubuntu 14.04 with kde... any help getting them back?
[21:43] <chompy> teward: a message at the top of the browser from firefox informing me that the java plugin has crashed, and to reload the page
[21:43] <chompy> teward: from terminal, The issue I see is that "Channel error: cannot send/recv"
[21:44] <bubbasaures> !details | apb1963
[21:44] <chompy> teward: [Parent][MessageChannel::Call] Error: Channel error: cannot send/recv
[21:46] <arshia> undecim: Please give me the result !!! I'm in hurry !!!
[21:47] <apb1963>   I lost my virtual desktops when I removed .kde/   ubuntu 14.04 with kde... any help getting them back?  I don't know if this is related to plasma-desktop but I'm unable to reinstall it either.
[21:47] <chompy> teward: you there? I don't mean to nag.
[21:48] <arshia> undecim: I don't know how to use PasteBin
[21:48] <bubbasaures> apb1963, "virtual desktops"?
[21:48] <apb1963> bubbasaures: yes
[21:48] <chompy> arshia: visit pastebin.com and paste code. press submit and give undecim the link
[21:48] <teward> chompy: i'm doing a lot of tasks at once - hate to ask but you arne't using java 8 are you
[21:48] <chompy> teward: I believe I am
[21:48] <bubbasaures> apb1963, a question mark indicates an explanation of what you mean.
[21:49] <chompy> teward: I am
[21:49] <teward> chompy: hate to ask if you can hunt for the java 7 plugin
[21:49] <teward> chompy: just to humor me and test...
[21:49] <teward> chompy: (Java 8 is evil)
[21:49] <chompy> teward: alrighty
[21:49] <chompy> please hold
[21:50] <bubbasaures> teward, could we stick with facts, and if an opinion state that.
[21:50] <chompy> teward: I can't seem to find a dl link for it
[21:50] <apb1963> bubbasaures: duplicate, independent, desktops, each with it's own "environment" for lack of a better way of expressing it.  I put application XYZ on desktop 1, app ABC on desktop 2, etc.
[21:50] <bubbasaures> apb1963, regular install multiple desktops?
[21:50] <teward> bubbasaures: i've seen java apps on sites blow up before in java 8 but work fine in java 7, hence why i suggested it
[21:51] <teward> bubbasaures: hence saying "humor me and test"
[21:51] <bubbasaures> teward, It was this "teward> chompy: (Java 8 is evil)"
[21:51] <chompy> teward: mind helping me hunt down a link?
[21:51] <arshia> undecim: Can u give me the result ??????????????????
[21:51] <apb1963> bubbasaures: I don't understand the question... it's a part of kde I think
[21:51] <teward> bubbasaures: be more specific next time, but i'm not the only one with those opinions.
[21:51] <bubbasaures> !fud | teward
[21:52] <bubbasaures> dude you are over the dege
[21:52] <bubbasaures> edge
[21:52] <undecim> arshia, I need you to go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste the dmesg output there
[21:52] <undecim> arshia, Then send me the link to the page you get
[21:52] <arshia> undecim: Ok : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9763956/
[21:53] <undecim> arshia, Okay, nothing interesting there. Can you do the same with the command "sudo blkid"?
[21:53] <bubbasaures> apb1963, I can't be any clearer I afraid, you are making up terms, that does not help.
[21:53] <bubbasaures> I'm*
[21:54] <arshia> undecim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9763998/
[21:54] <undecim> arshia, Nothing indicating the drive is there.
[21:55] <arshia> undecim: What is that meaning ???
[21:55] <undecim> arshia, it means Ubuntu does not see the drive
[21:55] <arshia> undecim: Why the first time it saw it ????
[21:55] <undecim> arshia, compare the output of "lsusb" with the USB inserted and with the USB removed
[21:55] <undecim> arshia, Most likely because the USB drive or USB link is unstable (i.e broken)
[21:56] <bekks> Or because it is not mounted.
[21:56] <undecim> bekks, blkid will can unmounted drives
[21:56] <undecim> scan*
[21:57] <bekks> undecim: remember to empty the blkid cache before, using sudo blkid -g; then scan using sudo blkid
[21:57] <undecim> bekks, didn't know about that
[21:57] <undecim> arshia, see bekks' comment ^^^
[21:58] <arshia> undecim: I see the USB now , after an unplug operation.
[21:58] <Mathis> hey
[21:58] <arshia> undecim: What is this ? A game ?????
[21:58] <arshia> The result of CMD is :
[21:59] <undecim> arshia, Yeah. You get to a d20 to see if your drive shows up
[21:59] <bubbasaures> Mathis, welcome
[21:59] <Mathis> when using a UMTS USB modem (ZTE MF667), I read about disabling the emulated CD drive... is this permanent or just until the device loses the power?
[21:59] <undecim> roll a d20*
[21:59] <arshia> undecim: Yes , i see it.
[22:00] <arshia> undecim: What the hell is my USB's problem ????
[22:00] <Neldogz> anyone know how to power on a disk, basically the reversal of udisksctl power-off --block-device /dev/sde1
[22:00] <undecim-phone> Testing
[22:00] <undecim> arshia, I don't know. I'm not your USB
[22:00] <noah> i am having wifi problems
[22:01] <bubbasaures> noah, Give the hardware and the issue to the channel.
[22:01] <arshia> undecim, I say why the USB is avilable at a time, after Eject , Unavilable and after another unplug , Returns ???!!!
[22:01] <undecim> arshia, Sometimes, that's how it breaks
[22:01] <undecim> arshia, Or the connection isn't good
[22:02] <bekks> arshia: So just unplug it and plug it back in.
[22:02] <undecim> arshia, Or your motherboard is messed up (try another USB and see if its the same problem)
[22:02] <bubbasaures> noah, lspci in the terminal will show the wifi info
[22:02] <noah> bubbasaures: I can connect, but network-manager is having trouble managing the secrets
[22:02] <arshia> undecim: Maybe , Well , thanks for now.
[22:02] <bekks> undecim: The problem persists, its a long known desktop environment bug :)
[22:02] <bubbasaures> noah, secrets, you mean the password?
[22:02] <undecim> arshia, anyways, I have to go. I'll still be on my phone (undecim-phone), but I haven't used this app before, so I don't know how well it will handle switching cell towers
[22:03] <bekks> undecim: Solution: unplug it, plug it. :)
[22:03] <Neldogz> anyone know how to power on a disk, basically the reversal of udisksctl power-off --block-device /dev/sde1
[22:03] <bekks> Neldogz: Replace power-off with power-on ? :)
[22:03] <undecim> bekks, I've never seen or heard of the problem before
[22:03] <bekks> undecim: I never tried mounting an USB after I ejected it :)
[22:03] <Neldogz> bekks, that option does not exist
[22:04] <noah> bubbasaures: don't know, but syslog calls them secrets.
[22:04] <bubbasaures> noah, Not recognizable by me, maybe others know this, sorry about that.
[22:05] <Mathis> anyone?
[22:05] <bekks> Neldogz: my udisksctl doesnt support power-off, too.
[22:05] <bekks> Mathis: On what?
[22:05] <frozenlock> I decided to try the proprietary AMD drivers. When I saw no real benefit, I switched back to using the X.org X Server. However, now my fonts are all fuzzy... Any ideas what I might have broken?
[22:05] <Neldogz> I understand that udisksctl power-off does the following:  the effect is that the USB device will be deconfigured followed by disabling the upstream hub port it is connected to.
[22:05] <Mathis> repeating... when using a UMTS USB modem (ZTE MF667), I read about disabling the emulated CD drive... is this permanent or just until the device loses the power?
[22:05] <bubbasaures> !patience | Mathis pleas don'y anyone the channel.
[22:05] <Neldogz> so i guess the question is how do i re-enable the USB device?
[22:06] <bekks> Mathis: It will last until powering it off.
[22:06] <Mathis> thanks
[22:07] <noah> bekks: do you have experience with network-manager. It is being scitzophrenic
[22:11] <mugetsu> how can i set up using the arrow keys to scroll?
[22:11] <mugetsu> ubuntu 14.04 lts
[22:12] <bekks> noah: And whats the problem with network-manager?
[22:13] <noah> bekks: it's having trouble communiacting with kwallet (kubuntu's default pw encryption service)
[22:14] <bekks> noah: Can you define "trouble"?
[22:15] <noah> bekks: I save a network. It works. I can disconnect and reconnect. I can log out and log in. The trouble comes when I restart.
[22:15] <bekks> noah: Can you define "trouble"?
[22:16] <noah> bekks: once I restart and try to connect, it stays there until finally saying "no secrets were provided". then clicking connect works.
[22:18] <pengin_> can anyone help me out with some bash regex? this should be working, I think i've got everything escaped as necessary, but it's still failing. possibly due to string vs value? https://gist.github.com/dlutsch/f39e361a2bf8855f07bb
[22:23] <noah> bekks: did u get my last message?
[22:23] <kubunto> I am having severe internet issues on one of my machines
[22:23] <kubunto> dns failure is all I am aware of
[22:24] <kubunto> and i can still use ssh if i give it an ip
[22:24] <shuman> kubunto: any chance for alternative drivers?
[22:24] <kubunto> shuman: open to suggestions
[22:25] <shuman> my broadcom sometimes (after updates) begins to act the same way
[22:25] <noah> kubunto: what is the issue. I'm may be able to help, unless it's hardware-related.
[22:25] <kubunto> noah: shuman root is that i can connect for a max of a minute or so
[22:25] <shuman> kubunto: wifi?
[22:25] <Ben64> kubunto: but you said it works if you use ip?
[22:25] <kubunto> Ben64: yes
[22:26] <kubunto> shuman: not only wifi
[22:26] <Ben64> kubunto: then set a [different] dns server
[22:26] <kubunto> Ben64: ive tried to set the name server to 8.8.8 and it does nothing
[22:27] <Ben64> 8.8.8 is not an ip
[22:27] <kubunto> Ben64: dns suggestions?
[22:28] <Ben64> 8.8.8.8 is one
[22:28] <Ben64> and how are you setting it
[22:28] <kubunto> Ben64: network manager in ubuntu
[22:29] <Ben64> kubunto: are you experiencing the issue now
[22:29] <kubunto> Ben64: i wont be able to tell until i getthe ssd back into the other machine
[22:29] <Ben64> well you need to be able to test things
[22:30] <kubunto> right now I am writing an image to an ssd

[22:31] <mnature> Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it
[22:31] <dreki> I meant to say can someone help me set /media/ back to its default chmod settings.
[22:31] <Ben64> mnature: can you post a screenshot of it
[22:32] <mnature> no t only stays there for a few seconds

[22:35] <A124> Hello. I will be straightforward.. how do I get ReiserFS back to Ubuntu?
[22:35] <Basketballl> hello who needs help
[22:35] <kubunto> ill be backs
[22:37] <A124> Basketballl: I need help
[22:37] <A124> Getting ReiserFS back to Ubuntu.
[22:37] <A124> (On already installed system)
[22:37] <Basketballl> A124, sorry never heard of that
[22:37] <mugetsu> i'm new to ubuntu anything i should know or programs i should install/
[22:37] <mugetsu> ?
[22:38] <A124> Basketballl: What? That is filesystem. One of the best filesystems ever.
[22:38] <Ben64> !reiser | A124
[22:38] <SchrodingersScat> !reiserfs | A124, it's so murderous
[22:38] <SchrodingersScat> oops
[22:38] <bekks> A124: LOL. BAsically, it is dead, for a decade now.
[22:39] <eggbeater> mugetsu: it depends. what do you plan on doing?
[22:39] <mugetsu> something new. im exploring operating systems other than windows for now.
[22:39] <A124> bekks, Ben64, SchrodingersScat: I Do not care if it is dead or not, I know that. I asked to to get it to Ubuntu.
[22:40] <A124> mugetsu: I personally do not like the default Ubuntu GUI spin.
[22:40] <Ben64> A124: then go for it, good luck
[22:40] <mugetsu> i figured there has got to be something better than windows so here i am
[22:40] <SchrodingersScat> A124: there was no link in the !reiser, I have nowhere to go from here.
[22:40] <A124> mugetsu: Want a tip? My few most used apps: htop, less, mc, nano
[22:41] <bekks> A124: you have to patch it yourself: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/reiser4
[22:43] <A124> bekks: If it works, AWESOME! Love you.
[22:43] <mnature> /home/mnature/Pictures/Screenshot - 01162015 - 04:41:31 PM.png
[22:43] <A124> Getting another kernel cause of that is a Pita, but whatever.
[22:43] <Ben64> mnature: you can't paste photos in irc.... upload to somewhere like imgur.com and give us the link
[22:43] <eggbeater> mugetsu: Most everything you need is preinstalled...web browsers, office suites, the works
[22:43] <bekks> A124: Thats one of the downsides.
[22:43] <eggbeater> even games >_<
[22:44] <mnature> ok
[22:45] <A124> bekks: Yeah, thoguht about going Archlinux, which I may for this purposes, but for now on I got a generic machine. Got kind of specific setup with specific tools with specific parameters, which does tremendously boost workflow speed eliminating multiple layers implementation and specific usage. Else I use ext4 as usual.
[22:47] <Guest63111> Hey quick question:  Did that huge Freenode hack ever get resolved?
[22:48] <Guest63111> I feel iffy being on Ubuntu Freenode

[22:54] <mnature_> here it is  http://i.imgur.com/r5u8bBd.png
[22:55] <Jordan_U> arcsky: Did you see my recommendation?
[22:56] <piter-de-vries> seen_vader518
[22:56] <piter-de-vries> Whatre the bot commands?
[22:56] <arcsky> Jordan_U: doesnt support FXP
[22:56] <erichf> hello, is there a way to killall chromium-browser that works?
[22:56] <chris13365> hi.  i am setting up a network printer and need to know the device's URI.  The ip address is 192.168.1.157, is that what the URI is also?
[22:57] <piter-de-vries> !seen vader_518
[22:57] <piter-de-vries> oh
[22:58] <frozenlock> Here is an screenshot of my 'blurry fonts' http://i.imgur.com/U8oxDYQ.png . I have this since I reverted to the open source drivers for my ati card. Any ideas how to get normal fonts back?
[22:58] <Bashing-om> mnature_: Xscreensaver is is the repo (Version: 5.15-3ubuntu1), what have you done that the old version is still on your system ?
[22:59] <soua> hello
[22:59] <curtis> hi
[22:59] <mnature_> nothing it's on my siister's pc too
[22:59] <frozenlock> I tried switching back to the proprietary drivers and the fonts look great. (But it's killing my wifi... that rabbit hole...)
[23:00] <mnature_> I tried reinstalling unbuntu 15.04 byt still there
[23:00] <Bashing-om> mnature_: How did you install Xscreensaver ? Maybe you can 'remove' it and install afresh from the repo ?
[23:00] <A124> Should I update to latest kernel or not? (LTS version, clean install)
[23:00] <mnature_> i didn't , it just appeared
[23:01] <erichf> killall chromium-browser* && killall chromium-browser* works
[23:02] <erichf> for some reason I have to execute the command twice
[23:02] <A124> Yeah, cause of the main re-spawns children.
[23:02] <pragmaticenigma> frozenlock, it looks like the anti-aliasing settings for your display might be off
[23:02] <chris13365> I am setting up a network printer.  Is the "device URI" the same as it's "ip address"?
[23:03] <frozenlock> pragmaticenigma: any ideas how to turn it back on?
[23:03] <Bashing-om> mnature_: Well, we do not know, yet . Any result from terminal command -> apt-mark showholds <-  ?
[23:05] <sudormrf> have a throwback here....is there a program (graphical is preferred) for creating an "iso" of a floppy disk for ubuntu?  I know ISO isn't the right format, but that is to illustrate what I am trying to do
[23:06] <pragmaticenigma> frozenlock, spooling up an instance of ubuntu now (don't currently have unity setup)
[23:06] <mnature_> I wonder why it stay on my hard drive even after I eraced the whole drive ?
[23:06] <Ben64> sudormrf: dd
[23:06] <frozenlock> pragmaticenigma: thanks a lot
[23:07] <frozenlock> It's such a small thing... the font... but really it's giving me a headache
[23:08] <pragmaticenigma> frozenlock, I agree, i'm very sensitive to that sort of thing myself.
[23:09] <Bashing-om> mnature_: Is it ? what does the package manager know ? -> dpkg -l xscreensave <- .
[23:10] <Bashing-om> ^^ dpkg -l xscreensaver *
[23:13] <A124> bekks: Just realized that is Reiser4, not Reiserfs. But will try anyway. Not sure if Reiserfs is not in kernel or I cannot find mkfs for reiser
[23:13] <bekks> A124: Do you really want the ancient reiserfs v3?!
[23:14] <A124> Yeah.
[23:14] <bekks> Good luck with that one :)
[23:14] <A124> It was enabled by default on kernel config.
[23:15] <A124> As a module.. so I might find a kerne.. yep.. it is thre.
[23:15] <A124> Now I am missing userspace tool to makefs.
[23:16] <mnature> hanks for your help , I figured it out in the terminal , It's gone now
[23:18] <ki7mt> I just looked at my supported file system, I don't see Reiser* anything being supported in the generic kernel. not that I want it, was just curious.
[23:20] <chaotix> hey.  what is the login and password for CUPS, on Ubuntu 14.04?
[23:20] <ki7mt> whoops, belay my last reiserfs is there: ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs
[23:20] <Jordan_U> ki7mt: How are you checking for supported filesystems?
[23:22] <mindphuck> i have a slight, mysterious issue, there are 3 or 4 folders i have on my external hard drive that show up in windows explorer, but not in linux, any suggestion?
[23:22] <ki7mt> Jordan_U, I was looking at /proc/filesystem, which I think is listing only those that are currently in use at the moment.
[23:23] <bubbasaures> mindphuck, ctrl-h to show hidden
[23:23] <mindphuck> but they arent hidden, they are just regular folders that contain files,
[23:23] <csmule> How do I supress errors in upstart jobs so it doesn't abort?
[23:24] <bubbasaures> mindphuck, did you check if hidden in ubuntu?
[23:24] <mindphuck> yep, first thing i checked
[23:24] <mindphuck> so originally i thought i deleted them by accident, and went back to windows to get a data recovery program, then i just took a gander in the folder and low and behold there they were
[23:25] <bubbasaures> mindphuck, with any details it will be a dead duck here.
[23:26] <A124> bekks: modprobe + package reiserfsprogs, solved!
[23:26] <A124> Might try to compile and play with Reiser4 for the fun.
[23:26] <mindphuck> what about ducks?
[23:26] <A124> Reiser4 was heading into phenomenal heights, but thanks to the arrest of the author it .. went astray sadly.
[23:27] <bekks> A124: And reiserfs v3 was replaced by reiser4 long before.
[23:27] <A124> bekks: That is the point.
[23:28] <bubbasaures> mindphuck, You have this nick and you do not kn ow what I mean, by the way it is really offensive.
[23:29] <bubbasaures> why it is allowed I would not no
[23:29] <noah> I am having issues with kwallet and wifi.
[23:29] <bubbasaures> know*
[23:29] <mindphuck> i didnt come in here for you to tell me what nickname i should choose, did i? no i didnt think so, and how in the hell is it offensive? are you that much of a prude?
[23:31] <Noah_> hmm
[23:34] <csmule> must be from california
[23:37] <noah> i'm back
[23:41] <Scunizi> Any reason why kmail from within Kontact won't switch from the "Welcome to Kamil 4.14.2" screen after downloading from gmail?
[23:43] <A124> Kernel compilation.. I got error when checking platforms I do not care about.. how can I ignore that?
[23:55] <A124> Another problem apache.. have vidrtual host on a directory in /opt/ yet it displays /var/www
[23:55] <A124> And I ahve no idea why.
[23:59] <linuxmint> Hello, no sound on Ubuntu 14.04 unless I unplug and plug the HDMI cord back in.
[23:59] <linuxmint> I just turned of Audio in BIOS.
[23:59] <linuxmint> Alsamixer has no SPDIF or MM to adjust?
