[00:00] <Qbuo> k1l: I have an external headset w/ mic. 5.1 true surround
[00:01] <k1l> dont know then.
[00:01] <Qbuo> Any idea why whenever the power goes out and i restart my computer, things mess up? last time this happened steam broke and i had to reinstall the os
[00:01] <mete> boot-repair solved the issue
[00:03] <Codmadnesspro> Hi, how can I install ubuntu for my raspberry pi model a?
[00:03] <k1l> Codmadnesspro: you cant since the chip is too old.
[00:03] <Codmadnesspro> Ugh really?
[00:03] <Codmadnesspro> that sucks
[00:04] <Ben64> not really, you wouldn't want ubuntu on it anyway
[00:04] <k1l> see raspian debian fork for the rpi
[00:04] <Codmadnesspro> would model b support it?
[00:04] <Ben64> nope
[00:04] <zippo^> is 14.04 or 14.10 better?
[00:04] <k1l> zippo^: do you want to upgrade all 6 months?
[00:04] <Ben64> zippo^: 14.04 has 5 years support, 14.10 has 9 months support
[00:04] <xpro256> when i log in to my ubuntu, the keyboard layout become misconfigured, why this happen?
[00:04] <eatyourguitar> how do I check if unetbootin is installed?
[00:04] <zippo^> no matter, but what is your opion
[00:04] <zippo^> ?
[00:05] <Ben64> zippo^: up to you
[00:05] <k1l> zippo^: on 14.10 you need to upgrade all 6 months. so its up to you
[00:05] <Codmadnesspro> I don't really like raspbian thats why i really need to change to something else
[00:05] <zippo^> i ask you , is that difficult question, Ben64 ?
[00:05] <Ben64> eatyourguitar: dpkg -l unetbootin
[00:05] <zippo^> yes i know it, k1l
[00:05] <Ben64> zippo^: for me, no. for you, you have to decide
[00:06] <zippo^> 10.04 LTS is the best of Ubuntuversions
[00:06] <zippo^> :)
[00:06] <k1l> zippo^: every user got his own workflow and opinion. better is to make your own thoughts about it. what works for me doesnt need to work for you.
[00:06] <Ben64> zippo^: incorrect
[00:06] <k1l> zippo^: and no need to become rude in here. we try to help.

[00:07] <Eletious> Hello!
[00:07] <ahr3n> hey
[00:08] <Eletious> hi
[00:08] <Jensit> heyho
[00:08] <Eletious> I am havings of the question for yuo
[00:08] <Eletious> about ubuntu, of course!
[00:08] <Eletious> not about the personal lines
[00:08] <Eletious> *lives
[00:08] <ahr3n> So I've got a MeteorJS app running on a Ubuntu 14.04 --- I seem to be running out of connections though because nginx keeps giving me 502 bad gateways... how do I increase the max number of simultaneous connections on the server?
[00:09] <Eletious> It just occurred to me that I should not be an idiot in a support channel, my bad.
[00:10] <k1l> Eletious: just ask a support question :)
[00:10] <Eletious> Gotcha
[00:11] <Eletious> I have a LAMP stack on 14.04 that I need to back up
[00:11] <ahr3n> net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 32768	61000
[00:11] <ahr3n> net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 60
[00:11] <ahr3n> are my current settings
[00:11] <Eletious> the guy in charge of this project wants the drive cloned but I can't get clonezilla to work... not sure why, that's not my question
[00:11] <Qbuo> Hey, for some reason, after restarting my computer, my sound is extremely low.. please give me instructions on how to check my volume and such
[00:12] <Eletious> the question is, are there any drive cloning (or really good backup) utilities native for ubuntu 14.04?
[00:12] <xpro256> when i login to my ubuntu session, the keyboard layout changes itself, can you help me?
[00:13] <Eletious> Oh my gosh I feel so bad throwing my question out there :(
[00:14] <krabador> !ops
[00:14] <k1l> krabador: dont do that
[00:14] <Qbuo> ubottu: what constitutes an emergency?
[00:14] <elky> krabador: why did you do that?
[00:15] <Qbuo> ubottu: are you actually a bot?
[00:15] <Eletious> Wow why did that happen
[00:15] <Qbuo> ohh
[00:15] <Eletious> Qbuo: krabador put in a command
[00:15] <eatyourguitar> how do I mount usb ubuntu 14.04 lts
[00:15] <Eletious> ubottu just responded because he's a good bot :)
[00:16] <Eletious> Yes you are!  Yes you are a good bot!
[00:16] <ahr3n> ....this isn't a very good support channel.
[00:17] <Eletious> My friend told me that rm -rf was a good backup command and I trust him
[00:18] <k1l> Eletious: dont troll in here
[00:18] <elky> ahr3n: you're expecting niche help, people here cannot know everything about everything in the repositories. try asking #nginx about how their stuff works
[00:33] <eatyourguitar> I found the symlink for my usb storage device how to I resolve it?
[00:33] <eatyourguitar> I see ../../sdb

[00:43] <bihaber> I upgraded to utopic and no longer have gui.  system is unusable.
[00:43] <sabotender> I am trying to figure out which channel I would need to ask about the methods to add to my server. I recently moved from OSX Server to Ubuntu and I don't know which method would be best to get the server to auto update when my IP changes
[00:44] <eatyourguitar> ok I found the location of my usb storage in /dev/sdb how do I mount?
[00:45] <eatyourguitar> mount /dev/sdb /home/bob/usb
[00:45] <eatyourguitar> ?
[00:46] <bihaber> I upgraded to utopic and no longer have gui.  system is unusable. how can i fix this?
[00:46] <juddus> yeah @eatyourguitar
[00:47] <sudormrf> quick question, how can I run a cron job immediately from the CLI without modifying the job itself?
[00:47] <juddus> is /home/bob/usb a dir?
[00:47] <owen1> how to find the correct sha of my ubuntu iso file? is it here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[00:47] <elky> sabotender: are you behind a router, if so do it via dyndns in the router if the router supports it. otherwise there are plenty of dyndns services (dyndns, no-ip, etc) and there are clients for them in the repositories
[00:47] <sudormrf> nm, I think I got it.
[00:47] <owen1> sha256sum => ffb00501808306c047a37377511734c31782f0ebb5677118c07df82f48013ed6
[00:47] <sabotender> elky: I am using freedns.afraid.org
[00:47] <owen1> how do i know it's the correct sha?
[00:48] <elky> sabotender: they will have instructions on their website for how to use their service
[00:50] <eatyourguitar> juddus it asks to specify filesystem so I just formatted with the disks app
[00:50] <eatyourguitar> now it automounts and shows up in filebrowser devices
[00:51] <eatyourguitar> and unetbootin sees it :)
[00:51] <k1l_> sabotender: see first if your router doesnt have a dyndns setting
[00:52] <owen1> how to verify that my iso is indeed the correct file?
[00:52] <Stanley00> owen1: hmm... your checksum cannot be found on that page
[00:52] <owen1> Stanley00: right
[00:52] <Stanley00> owen1: where did you download that?
[00:52] <owen1> it's 922M btw
[00:53] <eatyourguitar> why does unetbootin switch to floppy (iso/floppy) after I select my .img?
[00:53] <Stanley00> owen1: where did you download it from?
[00:53] <k1l_> owen1: md5sum?
[00:53] <sudormrf> or maybe I don't
[00:53] <Stanley00> owen1: yep... md5sum... :(
[00:53] <inj3ct0r-ji> :3
[00:53] <sudormrf> yeah, any way to run a cron job immediately from the CLI without modifying the job itself?
[00:53] <owen1> Stanley00: b448aa5b1de963731c21344f803
[00:53] <owen1> a
[00:53] <owen1> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[00:54] <inj3ct0r-ji> fuckk
[00:54] <owen1> from here ^
[00:54] <inj3ct0r-ji> shut up
[00:54] <inj3ct0r-ji> bitches
[00:54] <owen1> 33be2394cbbd6856849d430101835a6d
[00:54] <elky> inj3ct0r-ji: stop that
[00:54] <inj3ct0r-ji> okay :3
[00:54] <inj3ct0r-ji> hhhhhhhhhhhh
[00:54] <rww> inj3ct0r-ji: You're in Ubuntu's technical support channel. Is there something we can help you with?
[00:55] <k1l_> which md5sum hash do you have now?
[00:55] <Stanley00> owen1: hmm... first md5sum looks fine, except it missing some char at begining, right?
[00:55] <owen1> Stanley00: i am downloading it again
[00:55] <owen1> just in case
[00:56] <Stanley00> owen1: okay. just use md5sum when you finish.
[00:57] <owen1> Stanley00: ok
[00:57] <owen1> thanks!
[00:57] <Bashing-om> owen1: Yes, try again as the MD5sum does not match .
[00:58] <Bashing-om> ^^does not match current releases *
[00:59] <eatyourguitar> is there a chromeos channel?
[01:00] <eatyourguitar> the distro is ~250mb
[01:03] <bihaber> I upgraded to utopic and no longer have gui.  system is unusable. anyway i can boot into command shell?
[01:03] <daftykins> bihaber: try booting with !nomodeset
[01:03] <eatyourguitar> in what way is it unusable
[01:03] <rww> eatyourguitar: #chromium-os
[01:05] <kline> i have an ubuntu desktop vm with a static ip. ive entered my venders strange but known good (other VMs work fine) network details into /etc/network/interfaces, and after an ifup it connects fine, for about 1 minute
[01:05] <compdoc> kline, its pppoe or something?
[01:05] <kline> is there something like a dhcp client thats breaking the correct config by default on a 14.10 install
[01:06] <kline> no, its just a regular lan internet with an esxi virtual switch up the line connected to a router after tahat
[01:07] <compdoc> what kind of network card?
[01:08] <kline> Intel E1000
[01:08] <k1l_> bihaber: do you see the login screen?
[01:08] <kline> should be very supported
[01:08] <bihaber> i got it with ctrl-alt-f1
[01:08] <compdoc> can you pastebin.com the contents of /etc/network/interfaces
[01:09] <kline> no, its not connected to the internet
[01:09] <V0idFunction> can someone help me out? mitigated my irc server over to a new vps, having a problem with ssl trying to set the new unreal up. I installed openssl and installed the correlating libraries and still receiving the message saying ssl isn't installed when setting up my unrealircd config
[01:09] <kline> actually, ill try really fast
[01:10] <bihaber> k1l_  there is no login screen. gui broke after upgrade to utopic
[01:10] <k1l_> bihaber: what exact ubuntu is that?
[01:10] <k1l_> bihaber: and what video card is it? what driver is installed?
[01:11] <bihaber> AMD Radeon on Toshiba laptop
[01:11] <Finetundra> hello, how do I get youtube-dl to not give me a 403 error?
[01:12] <kline> compdoc, heres the best i can do: http://i.imgur.com/QxsmqV3.png
[01:12] <eatyourguitar> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403
[01:13] <kline> compdoc, its notable that 1) on the debian host it works fine, 2) it works fine for about 1 min after ifup on the ubuntu machine
[01:13] <compdoc> kline, you sure that netmask is right?
[01:13] <kline> compdoc, 100%
[01:13] <eatyourguitar> this is a result of you not having permissions to get what you want via the url/port/directory/host etc...
[01:13] <kline> like i said, its strange vendor mask, but it does work
[01:13] <eatyourguitar> like if google updates how the site works the app will create a bad url
[01:14] <eatyourguitar> so you get the same message if you are blocked or it doesn't exist
[01:14] <eatyourguitar> cause you have whitelist permissions to the regular parts of youtube but not private server stuff
[01:15] <compdoc> kline, its very odd. you ever try commenting out the post-down line?
[01:17] <stongo> is this abnormal: in ubuntu 14.04 server I cannot login via ssh until I log in through console?
[01:17] <kline> compdoc, survived 44 seconds
[01:18] <eatyourguitar> Finetundra what is the url you requested that returned 403?
[01:18] <eatyourguitar> maybe there are messages in a log file or output to the console you can read?
[01:18] <Finetundra> eatyourguitar, I've tried multiple url's
[01:19] <eatyourguitar> well that doesn't mean anything
[01:19] <eatyourguitar> have you actually investigated why you are getting 403?
[01:19] <eatyourguitar> do you have solid information that these are working links?
[01:19] <Finetundra> I can make a pastebin of the terminal output
[01:19] <Finetundra> yes they are working links
[01:20] <eatyourguitar> youtube changes stuff around from time to time
[01:20] <eatyourguitar> how do you know they are working?
[01:20] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Often times we see your condition as a result of a 3rd party (proprietary) graphics driver installed, when the system is upgraded that driver is not, and you have a broke display. Show the channel -> sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit . Shows the card and IF/what driver is installed.
[01:21] <eatyourguitar> watching a video and downloading it are most likely different links
[01:21] <Finetundra> eatyourguitar, because I used the link today? I'm not sure what your're asking
[01:21] <eatyourguitar> the app youtube downloader is getting 403 for a link that was created from some user input
[01:22] <eatyourguitar> you told it what video you wanted how?
[01:22] <Finetundra> copied and pasted the link
[01:22] <kline> compdoc, found it, theres a little widget i didnt notice in the topbar scrolled off my tiny windows VM screen for networking, it was convinced that eth0 needed dhcp
[01:22] <eatyourguitar> ok
[01:22] <kline> disabling it resolved the issue
[01:22] <eatyourguitar> is this a website or an app?
[01:23] <eatyourguitar> you paste it into the youtube-dl app?
[01:24] <Finetundra> eatyourguitar, um, its a youtube video
[01:24] <eatyourguitar> youtube-dl is a youtube video?
[01:24] <eatyourguitar> or is it an app
[01:24] <eatyourguitar> or a website
[01:25] <Finetundra> eatyourguitar, oh, thats what you're asking. its a program
[01:25] <eatyourguitar> ok so you need something like http://xmodulo.com/sniff-http-traffic-command-line-linux.html
[01:25] <eatyourguitar> this will tell you what is happening that you can not see
[01:26] <eatyourguitar> so you can see what the broken link is that generates the 403 error
[01:26] <plasmasnake> would anybody here happen to know why /etc/shadow is owned by root:shadow (with permissions 640) and not root:root? what's the use of the shadow group?
[01:26] <eatyourguitar> like if it points to youtube.com/?olddownloadapi.php
[01:27] <eatyourguitar> I just made that up
[01:27] <eatyourguitar> youtube.com/olddownloadapi.php?v=83dd8d
[01:28] <eatyourguitar> then youtube deletes or renames olddownloadapi.php cause of copyright complainers or bandwidth leeches such as yourself
[01:28] <eatyourguitar> youtube-dl is adfree
[01:29] <eatyourguitar> they hate that
[01:29] <eatyourguitar> they lose money
[01:29] <eatyourguitar> well it might not be adfree but they don't like it
[01:30] <Finetundra> eatyourguitar, I got it to work
[01:31] <danishanish> hey guys
[01:41] <happyfr0gg> Hello. How reliable and stable is Ubuntu 14.10?
[01:42] <juddus> its fine
[01:42] <juddus> why not go lts?
[01:43] <happyfr0gg> I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I was just wondering if 14.10 was any more stable and reliable.
[01:43] <juddus> stick to 14.04
[01:43] <happyfr0gg> Will do.
[01:44] <zacwalls> How can i connect to the internet using the built in ssl certs and the keys? Or can i?
[01:44] <bihaber> you might lose your gui when you upgrate to 14.10 like i did
[01:45] <happyfr0gg> bihaber, screw that.
[01:45] <bihaber> me too, if i had know brfore :)
[01:46] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Did you see my xx:20 entry ?
[01:46] <zacwalls> Im on 14.10 and im fine
[01:46] <bihaber> Bashing-on: no. what?
[01:46] <zacwalls> Time to consult the Internet
[01:46] <freeroute> !backports
[01:47] <Bashing-om> bihaber: " bihaber: Often times we see your condition as a result of a 3rd party (proprietary) graphics driver installed, when the system is upgraded that driver
[01:47] <Bashing-om>                     is not, and you have a broke display. Show the channel -> sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit . Shows the card and IF/what driver is installed
[01:48] <juddus> @zacwalls create your own cert?
[01:48] <bihaber> Bashing-om: there is something on the wiki to remove fglrx drivers but of course the command to fix it doesn't work
[01:48] <freeroute> I'm trying to install a package from precise backports using aptitude but first I would like to see which version it is, the commands 'sudo aptitude show chromium-browser -t precise-backports' nor 'sudo aptitude show chromium-browser/precise-backports' are doing what I'm expecting them to do.
[01:49] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Removing a FGLRX driver depends on how it was installed .
[01:49] <k1l_> freeroute: i prefer apt-get over aptitude
[01:49] <bihaber> Bashing-om: the gui worked fine on 14.04, but broke after upgrade to 14.10
[01:50] <k1l_> bihaber: yes, but that is not helping to solve the issue. we asked a lot of question and you dont answer that but keep repeating "its broken after upgrade"
[01:51] <k1l_> bihaber: "my car is broken" "oh, what is broken" "my car"... how should we help that? we dont know and see what do know and see in front of you.
[01:51] <Bashing-om> bihaber: And I say again .. proprietary drivers DO get broke in the upgrade . 3rd party software that the system has no control over .
[01:52] <bihaber> Bashing-om: is says driver=fglrx_pci  - how do i get rid of it?
[01:52] <sabotender> k1l_: good news, the web server is up and running and live! The code is broken because it needs a slight rewrite, but the name resolution is cool
[01:53] <freeroute> k1l_: I chose aptitude because I got to be lazier with auto completion lol. Also, 'apt-cache show chromium-browser -t precise-backports' doesn't show what I want either.
[01:54] <k1l_> freeroute: you are on 12.04?
[01:54] <freeroute> k1l_: yep
[01:54] <happyfr0gg> bihaber, all I can think of to do is to reinstall 14.04 and then make a backup copy of the graphics drivers that work for your GUI, upgrade to 14.10 and then restore those graphics drivers in 14.10.
[01:54] <k1l_> freeroute: run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" then try again
[01:55] <Bashing-om> bihaber: IF you installed from OEM site, use the OEM un-installer .. IF from our repo .. we use 'apt-get remove <packages>' to remove the driver .
[01:55] <Dawid90d> Hello
[01:55] <Dawid90d> Anyone there?
[01:55] <Ben64> freeroute: doesn't look like there is one in backports
[01:55] <freeroute> Dawid90d: no
[01:55] <k1l_> freeroute: or to make sure: what do you expect and what do you get?
[01:55] <happyfr0gg> Dawid90d, we are here.
[01:55] <Dawid90d> sorry for that kind of question but im stuck on the terminal
[01:56] <freeroute> Ben64: that is horrible :(
[01:56] <Dawid90d> brb
[01:56] <Ben64> freeroute: not really
[01:57] <k1l_> freeroute: so again: what do you want to do and what is the issue? (not talking baout the apt-get stuff but your endgoal)
[01:57] <freeroute> 'apt-cache show chromium-browser -t precise-backports' just shows whatever 'apt-cache show chromium-browser'
[01:58] <k1l_> freeroute: what are you looking for?
[01:58] <freeroute> k1l_: I just want to see which version of chromium-browser there is in the backports using either aptitude of apt-get
[01:58] <Ben64> freeroute: again, there isn't one
[01:58] <k1l_> freeroute: i think you are on the whole wrong spot.
[01:58] <Dawid90d> Guys is this gonna be bad, if i will ask something about kubuntu, not ubuntu?
[01:58] <k1l_> freeroute: chromium-browser is in security and updates in universe
[01:58] <Ben64> Dawid90d: probably not
[01:59] <k1l_> freeroute: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/chromium-browser
[01:59] <Dawid90d> I have problem with kubuntu - it gets stuck when its loading
[01:59] <Bashing-om> bihaber: To see if this might be OEM, terminal command -> ls -al /usr/share/ati/ <- , do you see anything ( maybe like fglrx-uninstall.sh ) ?
[02:00] <Dawid90d> i can only load kubuntu recovery mode, and console
[02:00] <Dawid90d> now typing from it
[02:00] <Dawid90d> i can't load graphical kubuntu
[02:00] <Dawid90d> I think i have messed up with lightDB screen manager, because it doesn't want to load it
[02:00] <Dawid90d> can someone help me?
[02:01] <freeroute> k1l_: right, currently I have the same one. But I was just looking for whether there was one in precise-backports. So what would you recommend me to install a newer version of chromium on 12.04?
[02:01] <Ben64> freeroute: upgrade to 14.04
[02:01] <bihaber> Bashing-om: nothing like that there. i installed long time ago from your repo and have upgraded several times.
[02:02] <freeroute> Ben64: wish I could currently. I thought 12.04 was also still supported.
[02:02] <Ben64> freeroute: supported = security updates, not "newest software"
[02:02] <k1l_> freeroute: make a bug request on launchpad.net and see what the maintainer thinks about that
[02:03] <Ben64> freeroute: why can't you upgrade? things aren't really going to improve on 12.04 in the future
[02:03] <Dawid90d> guys can you help me?
[02:03] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Then we must ask if the card is still supoortd .. -> lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga <- .
[02:03] <Dawid90d> im totaly stuck in recovery console

[02:05]  * Ben64 pokes phunyguy and k1l_ 
[02:06] <Bashing-om> Dawid90d: Wait for someone familiar with (K)ubuntu . patience .
[02:06] <anondawg> anyone here
[02:06] <ObrienDave> NOOOOO
[02:07] <Ben64> Dawid90d: more information would be good, like what happened that made it stop working
[02:07] <bihaber> Bashing-om: there is several lines of output describing device. what am i looking for?
[02:07] <Dawid90d> i think i have messed something with deps
[02:07] <freeroute> Ben64: I don't have things backed up the way I want at this moment, and this is pretty much a 24/7 running system. I'm thus a bit afraid of things breaking. I'm currently testing 14.04 in a VM though, so hopefully I should upgrade sooner. I just wish chromium-browser wouldn't be such a wreck at this moment.
[02:08] <Dawid90d> When im trying to load kubuntu
[02:08] <Dawid90d> i only get loading screen
[02:08] <Dawid90d> doesn't load login screen
[02:08] <anondawg> kubuntu isnt good
[02:08] <anondawg> use ubuntu
[02:08] <bob184> what are the steps to create a RAID 1 array using an existing volume and an empty disk? I had them partitioned identical (ext4 on gpt tables) and flipped the raid flag on both and then started mdadm and it is syncing - but /dev/md0 has no file system on it
[02:08] <anondawg> i know how to fix it though
[02:08] <Finetundra> how do i set a program to automatically  run from terminal?
[02:08] <ObrienDave> ROFL same system, different DE
[02:08] <Bashing-om> bihaber: use pastebin and I will read the output ..-> sudo apt-get install pastebinit , lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga | pastebinit <- will give you a URL, pass that URL back here .
[02:08] <Ben64> Dawid90d: yes we know, you've mentioned that many times. however, it'd really be helpful if you let us know what you did
[02:09] <Dawid90d> i was trying to install some of the dependies for myPaint
[02:09] <NegativeFlare> anondawg: Whoa whoa whoa. You can't say that. Kubuntu is just a desktop environment.
[02:09] <k1l_> anondawg: be helpfull and do be destructive in here, thanks
[02:09] <ObrienDave> anondawg, ROFL, same system, different DE
[02:09] <anondawg> do ctrl +alt+f
[02:09] <anondawg> i know dude
[02:09] <Dawid90d> and when i was trying to load dolphin file manager, terminal or other things
[02:09] <Dawid90d> it wasn't working
[02:10] <Dawid90d> so i restarted kubuntu
[02:10] <anondawg> but the desktop enviorment is ugly and hard to navigate in my opionion
[02:10] <ObrienDave> nobody asked for your opinion
[02:10] <bihaber> Bashing-om: it is going to be painful. that machine is console mode. not connected to network
[02:10] <Dawid90d> and i have this problem now that i can't load it
[02:10] <anondawg> how do you cend a msg to one person
[02:10] <daftykins> Dawid90d: sounds like graphics issues, do you know what graphics card type you use?
[02:10] <Ben64> Dawid90d: can you be more specific than "i was trying to install some of the dependies for myPaint"
[02:11] <Dawid90d> Nividia GeForce GT 430
[02:11] <Ben64> Dawid90d: earlier you mentioned "LightDB" .... what else did you do
[02:12] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Truthfull, until I know what we are dealing with, I hesitate to offer advise .
[02:12] <Dawid90d> nah, i wasn't doing anything with it, i just
[02:12] <Dawid90d> when i logged in
[02:12] <Dawid90d> into recovery mode
[02:12] <ObrienDave> !details | Dawid90d
[02:12] <happyfr0gg> Is there a way to get PlayOnLinux to accept the lastest version of the iTunes installer? I try and it says it needs Windows Vista x64 or greater. I am on a x64 machine.
[02:12] <Dawid90d> i noticed that its not loading lightDB screen manager
[02:12] <Dawid90d> i mean it fails loading it
[02:13] <NegativeFlare> happyfr0gg: What is saying that you need Windows Vista or higher? The iTunes installer or PlayOnLinux
[02:13] <Dawid90d> i cant use pastebin im in recovery mode console
[02:13] <Ben64> !appdb | happyfr0gg
[02:13] <k1l_> Dawid90d: you mean lightdm?
[02:13] <Dawid90d> can't even use any graphical programs
[02:13] <Dawid90d> yeah
[02:14] <Ben64> Dawid90d: you can use pastebin, to show us a command do something like this "command | nc termbin.com 9999"
[02:14] <NegativeFlare> !pastebinit
[02:14] <bihaber> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9790625/
[02:15] <Bashing-om> bihaber: look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/9790625/ .
[02:15] <SubCool> has anyone seen TJ?
[02:15] <k1l_> SubCool: this is a support channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[02:16] <Dawid90d> can you tell me, if i can split my screen into sessions so i can switch from irc to console?
[02:16] <Dawid90d> not kinda sure how to do it in recovery terminal
[02:17] <Finetundra> how would one set a program to automatically run in a terminal?
[02:17] <NegativeFlare> Dawid90d: if you're running irssi right now, just do control+alt+f2 to open another vtty
[02:17] <NegativeFlare> and then do control+alt+f1 to come back to this one
[02:17] <Dawid90d> ok
[02:18] <Dawid90d> umm
[02:18] <Dawid90d> i get this session but i can't really type anything
[02:19] <happyfr0gg> NegativeFlare, The PlayOnLinux app says it requires a Windows Vista 64 bit edition or later.
[02:19] <bubbasaures> Dawid90d, lspci in your terminal you see will show hardware
[02:19] <wastrel> Finetundra: please explain
[02:20] <NeedSomeHelp> Help, I am trying to install the newest Ubuntu on a brand new PC through USB. Within a minute, it stops and I am met with a black screen "drm_kms_helper: panic occured, switching back to text console". What to do?
[02:20] <SubCool> k1l_, im not looking for chat.
[02:20] <NegativeFlare> happyfr0gg: I'm still wondering why you're using PlayonLinux with iTunes. But from what I can tell. PlayOnLinux isn't reporting the right OS to the installer
[02:21] <Dawid90d> guys, ctrl+alt+f1...f2...f3 works, but i can't type anything, i can't type/execute any commands
[02:21] <Finetundra> wastrel, I have a python script that I would like to run from the terminal as soon as I click it
[02:21] <happyfr0gg> NegativeFlare, thanks for your input.
[02:21] <NegativeFlare> Dawid90d: you have to login ;)
[02:21] <NegativeFlare> happyfr0gg: No problem
[02:22] <Finetundra> Dawid90d, you have to enter your login
[02:22] <Ben64> happyfr0gg: have you checked wine's appdb
[02:22] <Dawid90d> im logged as root as default when im logging into console
[02:22] <Dawid90d> from recovery mode
[02:22] <Bashing-om> bihaber: -> sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak , sudo apt-get purge fglrx fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-updates fglrx-amdcccle-updates , sudo apt-get install dkms , sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon , sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core , sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , sudo update-initramfs -u // brings you up clean on open source driver .
[02:23] <Finetundra> NeedSomeHelp, have you tried recreating the live USB ir perhaps using a disc?
[02:23] <Dawid90d> how can i login from linux?
[02:23] <Dawid90d> terminal
[02:24] <Finetundra> Dawid90d, type username, press enter. type pass, hit enter. should be that simple
[02:24] <bubbasaures> Dawid90d, reboot choose kubuntu wait a minute or so and ctrl-alt-f1 login run lspci and identify the graphic hardware and what you have done the best you can.
[02:24] <NeedSomeHelp> Finetundra: yes I tried re-creating it with pendrivelinux. The PC is a mini PC and has no CD-ROM.
[02:25] <NeedSomeHelp> downloading the iso and burning it to the usb was no problem
[02:25] <happyfr0gg> Ben64, no not yet. I will now. I am in the 'winehq' channel waiting for a reply to my question.
[02:25] <Ben64> the channel isn't very active
[02:25] <Dawid90d> ok, ty brb.
[02:25] <bihaber> Bashing-om: thanks. i'll give it a shot, will be back after.
[02:28] <Finetundra> NeedSomeHelp, hmm, perhaps a different flavor would work such as ubuntu GNOME. I realize that this may not be a proper solution however you can install unity and have the same end result. sort of.
[02:28] <farva> hey guys, I just had my admin log into the fstp on my account, he saved the file he was supposed to, and when I went to edit it, it did not have rw--rw--r access. I opened a different file, saved it and the perms were fine. How do I get the access back on that file?
[02:28] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Roger that ,, IF and only IF there are problems with the open source driver, then from "Additional Drivers" install the recommended  FGLRX driver once more .
[02:28] <dawid90dd> Test
[02:28] <dawid90dd> ok im in
[02:29] <NeedSomeHelp> Finetundra: where can I choose that? do I need to download a different package  then?
[02:29] <juddus> farva: fstp? u mean sftp?
[02:29] <farva> yes, sorry
[02:29] <cheesepufftyler> hey
[02:29] <farva> mistype
[02:29] <juddus> np
[02:30] <Finetundra> NeedSomeHelp, comes from the ubuntu GNOME site. punch it up into google and you should be able to find it
[02:30] <bihaber> Bashing-om: first command failed.
[02:30] <bubbasaures> dawid90dd, I can only help you on this part, run lspci and identify the graphic info and describe what you did best you can, all in one post if possible.
[02:30] <farva> its just odd to me that it would remove perms for the sftp on that one file under my account
[02:30] <dawid90dd> ik, how can i scroll, page up page down doesnt work
[02:31] <juddus> farva: who owns the file?
[02:31] <farva> I do
[02:31] <Finetundra> NeedSomeHelp, and you may wish to use the 14,04 as it has long term support
[02:31] <NeedSomeHelp> Finetundra: ok thanks, will try
[02:31] <bihaber> Bashing-om: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe in the folder
[02:31] <farva> and I have full access to everything
[02:31] <farva> but that one file removed the access
[02:31] <Bashing-om> bihaber: That is ok , just means that file does not exist .. continue on .
[02:31] <juddus> farva: root user, sudoer?
[02:32] <farva> as sftp, just a user with perms
[02:32] <samthewildone> Incompatible version of libgstreamer
[02:32] <juddus> ok
[02:32] <samthewildone> I just installed libgstreamer
[02:32] <farva> I have full console access though
[02:32] <juddus> farva: you using an sftp client?
[02:32] <farva> yes
[02:32] <farva> filezilla
[02:32] <wastrel> Finetundra: did you figure out how to run the thing
[02:33] <Ben64> farva: paste the output of "ls -l /path/to/that/file"
[02:33] <dawid90dd> Nividia Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 430]
[02:33] <farva> k
[02:33] <SubCool> Is anyone famlilart with ZFS filesystem and maybe able to help me find my missing ZFS pools adn dataset?
[02:33] <samthewildone> This is my error > http://pastebin.com/UTieW4M6
[02:34] <Finetundra> wastrel, I can run it just fine but I was wanting to know if the convenience of it automatically opening in terminal was something that could be done
[02:34] <juddus> farva: ok, you see the owner/group column next to file in filezilla
[02:35] <farva> http://gyazo.com/16c5af671ca526ff3a907d34439d6834
[02:35] <farva> yes
[02:35] <farva> it is all dashes
[02:35] <farva> ------------
[02:35] <wastrel> Finetundra: if you open a nautilus window , edit > preferences > behavior > executable text files
[02:36] <wastrel> you can choose "ask each time" there's a "run in terminal" button in the dialog that pops up
[02:36] <dawid90dd> guys tell me at least where i can find kubuntu offical help irc channel
[02:36] <dawid90dd> on which server
[02:36] <juddus> farva: o.O
[02:36] <bubbasaures> dawid90dd, #kubuntu
[02:36] <farva> yea...odd =[
[02:36] <juddus> farva: dont see why you cant open it
[02:36] <dawid90dd> on which server..
[02:37] <farva> it shows I have perms in the console
[02:37] <Finetundra> wastrel, and that should run it?
[02:37] <farva> but the sftp shows all dashes
[02:37] <bubbasaures> dawid90dd, freenode,
[02:37] <wastrel> i guess so :)
[02:37] <bubbasaures> same your on dawid90dd
[02:38] <juddus> farva: can u set perms in sftp?
[02:38] <Finetundra> wastrel, 'cause right now it doesn't do anything with that option selected
[02:38] <farva> nope
[02:38] <farva> console only I am sure
[02:38] <farva> how do I double check though?
[02:39] <juddus> right click the file in sftp
[02:39] <juddus> file permissions
[02:39] <juddus> etc
[02:39] <wastrel> Finetundra: it pops up a terminal for me that immediately exits
[02:40] <Finetundra> NeedSomeHelp, I'd also like to go on the record and say that ubuntu GNOME does NOT look like normal ubuntu by default. you'll have to add (do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and then change the session) the unity desktop
[02:40] <Finetundra> wastrel, weird
[02:41] <farva> http://gyazo.com/f3ccf1f9fa41ad0783a5e257843526f0
[02:41] <juddus> thats whats there
[02:41] <juddus> ?
[02:41] <farva> wait
[02:41] <farva> I got it
[02:41] <farva> I checked the wrong file on that screen shot
[02:41] <farva> it let me set perms though
[02:41] <farva> so its good
[02:42] <juddus> ok good
[02:42] <farva> weird that happened
[02:42] <juddus> multiple users via same sftp account can do that
[02:42] <farva> Thanks juddus <3
[02:42] <juddus> does he have a seperate user account?
[02:42] <juddus> on the server?
[02:44] <juddus> farva: np :3
[02:44] <juddus> farva: does the other admin have a user account?
[02:45] <bihaber> Bashing-om: unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dr1
[02:45] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Humm... checking !
[02:46] <bihaber> Bashing-om: ooops my typo
[02:46] <TheTopBloke> if you didnt or couldnt do ubuntu or freebsd for whatever reason, what would be your next best choice for a new droplet?
[02:46] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Ueah .. ne an 'i' not a '1' .
[02:47] <bazhang> TheTopBloke, try ##linux for that, its offtopic here
[02:47] <TheTopBloke> oh yeah sorry wrong channel. doh!
[02:49] <bihaber> Bashing-om: finished and rebooted, came back up in busybox - no gui
[02:51] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Yuk, surprised .. busybox means can not find the boot files .. nothing related to graphics driver .. hummm ..
[02:53] <bihaber> Bashing-om: this is dual-boot box using grub. i think grub is messed up
[02:56] <eddieftwlolz> hey.
[02:56] <daftykins> hi
[02:56] <eddieftwlolz> how do I run an exe(linux wise)? :P
[02:56] <daftykins> so, an .exe or not an .exe ?
[02:56] <eddieftwlolz> .exe
[02:57] <bazhang> !appdb | check here eddieftwlolz
[02:57] <daftykins> what is it of? there might be a better way to do what you're trying to do
[02:57] <eddieftwlolz> what do you mean what is it of?
[02:57] <eddieftwlolz> I want to host a game dev tycoon server and the mod is only for windows xP
[02:57] <bazhang> what software eddieftwlolz
[02:57] <bazhang> check the appdb above
[02:57] <eddieftwlolz> software? huh
[02:58] <bazhang> thats what an exe is , yes
[02:58] <bazhang>  /join #winehq for help with that eddieftwlolz
[02:58] <eddieftwlolz> nothing for game dev ty cooon that runs well
[02:58] <eddieftwlolz> since im using a mod
[02:59] <eddieftwlolz> and latest version ^^
[02:59] <eddieftwlolz> eerr so I can't ask help for how to run an exe on ubuntu? :P
[02:59] <bazhang> eddieftwlolz, check the appdb, step one
[02:59] <eddieftwlolz> yea I did
[02:59] <bazhang> what did it say
[03:00] <eddieftwlolz> well it doesn't support the latest version of the one I have
[03:00] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Yeah .. seems so .. ok .. let's see if we can get ya booted . Can you boot to the grub boot menu ?
[03:01] <bazhang> step two, /join #winehq for support eddieftwlolz
[03:01] <eddieftwlolz> ok
[03:01] <k1l_> eddieftwlolz: since .exe is not meant to run on linux, your best chance is when wine supports it. if not, well, ask the one who makes the .exe to make a linux one
[03:02] <bihaber> Bashing-om: i am in edit for ubuntu grub entry
[03:03] <Bashing-om> bihaber: instead of 'e' for edit .. we want 'c' for command line .
[03:03] <bihaber> Bashing-om: ok i am there
[03:04] <ns5> I have added this ppa (https://launchpad.net/~mosquitto-dev/+archive/ubuntu/mosquitto-ppa), when I run apt-get source mosquitto, it gets the source of the ubuntu official package (very low version), how can I apt-get source from the ppa?
[03:04] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Do you know what drive and what partiton ubuntu is installed to .. the /boot directory ?
[03:05] <k1l_> ns5: did you run "sudo apt-get update"?
[03:05] <bihaber> Bashing-om: nope
[03:05] <k1l_> ns5: and what ubuntu are you on?
[03:05] <bihaber> Bashing-om: i will have to reboot windows to map the drive
[03:06] <ns5> k1l_: yes I ran "sudo apt-get update"
[03:06] <ns5> k1l_: 14.04.1 server
[03:06] <Bashing-om> bihaber: OK, we find it then -> ls -lh (hd0,1)/boot <- get a good return ?
[03:07] <k1l_> ns5: please show a "apt-cache policy mosquito" in a pastebin
[03:08] <ns5> k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9790912/
[03:12] <ns5> k1l_: any idea?
[03:13] <bihaber> Bashing-om: syntax error
[03:13] <k1l_> ns5: i dont know why that shouldnt work
[03:14] <ns5> k1l_: could you help to try it on your test host
[03:14] <Bashing-om> bihaber: GPT partitioning ?
[03:15] <k1l_> ns5: sorry, no test host right here to test. maybe someone other can confirm
[03:16] <bihaber> Bashing-om: syntax error near unexpected token '('
[03:16] <ns5> k1l_: ok, thanks
[03:17] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Is the partitioning scheme then GPT ?/ what results -> ls -lh
[03:17] <k1l_> ns5: maybe you can find the code here: https://launchpad.net/~mosquitto-dev/+archive/ubuntu/mosquitto-ppa/+packages
[03:18] <ns5> k1l_: I have no idea which files are the package sources

[03:19] <bihaber> Bashing-om: os is on hd0 3rd partition
[03:19] <Finetundra> so a window popped up saying updating system configuration. what might that mean?
[03:20] <ns5> k1l_: then what
[03:20] <k1l_> ns5: what do you want?
[03:20] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Try -> ls -lh (hd0,msdos3)/boot
[03:20] <Finetundra> please, I'm a tad worried
[03:21] <ns5> k1l_: modify the source and rebuild the package
[03:21] <Spotontoprut> Is there a post or something i can read about installing with encryption such as which program would be best and preferrably support multiple key files?
[03:21] <k1l_> ns5: there you go. open the tar.gz and see
[03:22] <CsharpCode> so anyone gonna go buy them a ubuntu phone in a few weeks :D
[03:23] <Finetundra> and now its repeating, please help
[03:23] <bubbasaures> !touch | CsharpCode
[03:24] <bihaber> Bashing-om: still getting syntax error
[03:24] <ns5> k1l_: how to build the package
[03:24] <k1l_> ns5: read the readme and the how to build a package on ubuntu
[03:25] <hunter> hello
[03:26] <archyme> hunter, hello
[03:26] <Finetundra> the issue has resolved itself
[03:27] <hunter> how do i change my username
[03:27] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Got me wondering .. what returns -> ls -lh ?
[03:28] <Spotontoprut> Is there a post or something i can read about installing with encryption such as which program would be best and preferrably support multiple key files?
[03:29] <bihaber> Bashing-om: returns directory contents
[03:32] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Not what I had expected .. "direcory contents" I had expected a list of partitions in the form (hd0,msdosX) . Think'n .
[03:33] <Finetundra> so, I've now tried to install amarok but it won't launch. what gives?
[03:34] <xangua> Finetundra: what gives? you tell us, you tried how? what graphical error do you get? what message do you get when try it on terminal?
[03:34] <xangua> !details
[03:34] <Bashing-om> bihaber: I would accept "diectory contents" from -> ls -lh (hd0,msdos3)/  <- . then we can try and boot to the system .
[03:44] <bihaber> Bashing-om: what now. i rebooted and back in busybox
[03:45] <CsharpCode> if i encrypt my entire hard drive with linux will it slow my computer down.  All i have is a q8200 core2quad that doesn't have AES
[03:47] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Still trying to find out what the partitioning scheme is .. when you got "directory contents" was that from -> ls -lh (hd0,msdos3)/ <- command ?
[03:48] <nicomachus> Has anyone here dealt with the HWE out of support issue?
[03:48] <bihaber> Bashing-om: from -> ls =lh <- only.  full command gives syntax error
[03:51] <Finetundra> xangua, it literally does nothing. heres the terminal output: http://pastebin.com/gHs1e6JH
[03:52] <Bashing-om> bihaber: I am a bit confused .. as that command should have returned partition info .. not directories . How about just -> ls <- . what is that result ?
[03:55] <Term1nal> Having a weird issue... geoip finds info for an address on one ubuntu server, but not on another.
[03:55] <Term1nal> Whereas the one cuirrently not finding it, had been finding it without issue a few days previously.
[03:55] <Term1nal> currently*
[03:59] <O_OniGiri> hi there, I am trying to install Ubuntu along Windows 8.1
[03:59] <O_OniGiri> but it doesn't show grub on boot :(
[04:00] <bihaber> Bashing-om: from -> ls <- gives directory contents
[04:02] <Bashing-om> bihaber: are you booting into grub's command line from 'c' at the grub menu, OR booting into the operating system ?
[04:03] <O_OniGiri> Bashing-om you talking to me?
[04:03] <bihaber> Bashing-om: booting into operating system.
[04:03] <Bashing-om> 0_0
[04:04] <O_OniGiri> bihaber having same problem as me?
[04:04] <O_OniGiri> bihaber grub not showing on boot?
[04:04] <Bashing-om> O_OniGiri: not that I am awaare of .. did I ping at ya ?
[04:05] <O_OniGiri> Bashing-om nope, but it looked like you were talking about my problem
[04:05] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Shucks .. I lost track .. last I was aware you were booting to a busy box ? So, still not able to boot to the GUI desktop ?
[04:05] <lacrymology> after installing nvidia-331 x fails to start (running 14.04)
[04:06] <lacrymology> if I uninstall it, it works, but.. well, I'd like my drivers, you know
[04:06] <lacrymology> don't really know how to diagnose what's wrong exactly
[04:07] <Bashing-om> O_OniGiri: Sorry, no I was not directing to you .. I know nothing of Win8 or UEFI configs .
[04:07] <Bashing-om> !uefi | O_OniGiri
[04:08] <lacrymology> ah, wait. dmesg says "the nvidia gpu installed in this system is not supported by driver 331"
[04:08] <O_OniGiri> the problem is that grub isn't showing up
[04:09] <bihaber> Bashing-om: can't boot into system from grub. at one point i had a pretty user background after your fix but lost that.  i think my system is sot and i have to figure out how to salvage my files.  i'll NEVER do an Ubuntu upgrade again.
[04:09] <Bashing-om> O_OniGiri: Try: As soon as the bios screen clears press and hold the escape key . does the grub boot menu appear ?
[04:10] <O_OniGiri> Bashing-om going to try now
[04:11] <svetlana`> bihaber: from what to what version were you upgrading out of curiousity?
[04:11] <lacrymology> anyone knows why nvidia-319 depends on nvidia-331?
[04:12] <O_OniGiri> Bashing-om not working :k
[04:12] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Release upgrades when done properly are not a problem . The thing now is to fix this install .. One can always copy off files from a live(USB)/DVD .
[04:13] <O_OniGiri> Bashing-om during the installation of Ubuntu I recall that it didn't recognize the windows loader,  is that a problem?
[04:14] <bihaber> Bashing-om: where can i go from here? once gub is fixed i still have gui that doesn't work
[04:14] <Bashing-om> O_OniGiri: Sorry, I do not have the knowledge of Win8/UEFI to advise. Await others help .  And yes IF ubuntu did not recognize Windows, there is a problem ( Windows installed UEFI and ubuntu installed CCSM ??) .
[04:15] <Bashing-om> bihaber: If you can boot the operating system, then grub is functional and doing it's job . So the thing now is to find out why the GUI does not start .
[04:18] <bihaber> Bashing-om: grub isn't right. i have to pick ubuntu recovery and then pick a version to boot
[04:19] <bihaber> Bashing-om: i'm not even sure i'm getting the one we built. likely not because the gui doesn't work.
[04:21] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Maybe a grub config issue, but only maybe . What is grub set to boot ? -> ls -al /vmlinuz <- .
[04:21] <sudharsan> I get this list of error when I run "apt-get update" : https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8256694 I am now unable to install anything new from apt-get due to this. Pl help
[04:21] <sudharsan> I run xubuntu 14.04
[04:24] <bihaber> Bashing-om: link to /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.0.29-generic
[04:25] <Bashing-om> bihaber: OK, so you upgraded to 'utopic' .. now let's see that the kerenl is infact installed, show me . -> ls
[04:26] <ObrienDave> sudharsan, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
[04:26] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Tired and getting stupid .. show mw -> ls -al /boot/grub | pastebinit <- .
[04:26] <ObrienDave> sudharsan, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 40976EAF437D05B5
[04:27] <bihaber> Bashing-om: yes when i upgraded to utopic this issue began. ls what folder?
[04:27] <lacrymology> I just figured that the reported device number is wrong. I've installed bumblebee before, which mangles that in order to achieve the switching, I think, but it doesn't seem to be installed now. Any clues what other optimus drivers might I have tried that have been doing this, or how can I check whether there's some module in the kernel that's acting up?
[04:27] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: bumblebee isnt good anymore, use nvidia-prime instead
[04:28] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: I just said, I don't have it anymore. But there's something that's making my videocard report the wrong ID
[04:28] <lacrymology> it's saying something like 0001.01 or something, and the nvidia driver doesn't recognize it
[04:29] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Too tired to do this any longer .. but the return from -> ls -al /boot } pastebinit <- .
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: wich version of ubuntu?
[04:29] <lacrymology> 14.04
[04:30] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Many many errors .. ls -la /boot | pastebinit <- .
[04:30] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: ^
[04:30] <sudharsan> ObrienDave, i've run that, now running apt-get update, givee me a minute, thanks
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: sudo lsh -C video still shows right info?
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> lshw
[04:31] <bihaber> Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9791385/
[04:33] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: it says "display UNCLAIMED" in the first line, product name and stuff seems right, physical id is 0, the only weird thing about it is that the intel card reports physical ID 2, not 1, bus info pci@0000:01:00.0 which I think is the weird ID I had seen in dmesg, everything else seems right
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: you sure you disabled intel card in bios?
[04:34] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: all in all, it looks all right. The intel bus info says pci@0000:00:02.0
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> kk
[04:34] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: I'm sure I *didn't*. I don't think my BIOS supports it
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: normally if you got 2 cards, there should be an option to switch
[04:34] <nukeu666> i keep getting hash mismatch when trying to apt update with trusty security/updates...already tried to clear the var/apt folder but no luck
[04:35] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: also, it worked before updating the distro release (and therefore the kernel)
[04:35] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: and it works under windows
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: maybe its time to re-install trusty clean with internet/updates enabled
[04:35] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: not all optimus laptops come with a switching-enabled BIOS, don't know why
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> nukeu666: apt-get clean and apt-get update maybe
[04:36] <lacrymology> I'd *really* rather not. I was actually about to switch to arch instead of upgrading, but decided to save myself the time.
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | nukeu666 to clean out your system
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: for driver support, ubuntu stays the best
[04:37] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: anyway, can you remind me the open driver's name?
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | lacrymology
[04:38] <lacrymology> no, not that one
[04:38] <lacrymology> the open driver
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> oh
[04:38] <lacrymology> !info nvdia
[04:38] <lacrymology> !nvidia
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: nvidia-current ?
[04:38] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Looks good to me .. I am considering rebuilding the initramfs image .. think'n about it .. for now make sure the package manager is happy -> sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get dist-upgrade <- .
[04:38] <lacrymology> no, that's also the propietary drivers
[04:38] <lacrymology> damn, I can't remember
[04:39] <lacrymology> lotus or soemething
[04:39] <lacrymology> let me check
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: maybe this can help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:40] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: ok, I think I found the offending module
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> kk good
[04:40] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: yeah, well, I sort of don't quite have a browser right now, do I?
[04:40] <lacrymology> bbswitch
[04:40] <lacrymology> !info bbswtch
[04:40] <lacrymology> !info bbswitch
[04:41] <lacrymology> !info bbswitch-dkms
[04:42] <bihaber> Bashing-om: all done!
[04:42] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: the one I was looking for is xserver-xorg-video-noveau
[04:42] <lacrymology> !info xserver-xorg-video-noveau
[04:42] <lacrymology> !info xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[04:43] <lacrymology> that doesn't say much,d oes it
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> thats the x server
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> you just want the nouveau driver?
[04:44] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: at least to get things up and running
[04:44] <lacrymology> I've got work to do, I can play with drivers later
[04:44] <lacrymology> well
[04:44] <lacrymology> I think I might have something working, let's reboot and see
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> good luck
[04:47] <Bashing-om> bihaber: And no errors ! .. ok. still in that older kernel -> sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.16.0-29-generic <- . for a rebuild . (mostly to belay your fears ) .
[04:48] <bihaber> Bashing-om: all done!
[04:48] <lacrymology> lotuspsychje: ok, with nouveau at least I have x
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> !yay | lacrymology
[04:49] <lacrymology> is installing the drivers downloaded from nvidia.com a _very_ bad idea?
[04:49] <Bashing-om> bihaber: reboot, and let's see if you can boot that 3.16 kernel .
[04:49] <O_OniGiri> I would like to install dual boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu, but I can't get grub to boot.
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | O_OniGiri
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: the best idea, is to test the drivers that work best for your system
[04:50] <O_OniGiri> I would like to note that during the Ubuntu installation the windows 8 loader wasn't recognized, is this a problem?
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> lacrymology: the way i do it, is let ubuntu choose wich driver is best
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> O_OniGiri: before you dualboot on uefi machine its best to read the help pages
[04:51] <bihaber> Bashing-om: reboot went to busybox using grub entry for ubuntu
[04:52] <bubbasaures> O_OniGiri, Probably not the best place for any quick help, I would use the ubuntu forums.
[04:52] <O_OniGiri> lotuspsychje I did...
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> O_OniGiri: i would advise to install ubuntu single
[04:53] <allen_> I have a problem. I am on Kernel 3.13 and I cannot find a ethernet card that is compatible! Are all ethernet adaptors only compat with 2.6?
[04:54] <Ben64> darkenvy: no, of course not, that would be silly
[04:54] <bubbasaures> allen_, Have you actually tried any?
[04:54] <darkenvy> I cant find much information on working 3.13 cards! :P
[04:54] <Ben64> pretty much anything that works on 2.6 will work on >2.6
[04:54] <Ben64> drivers almost never get removed from the kernel
[04:54] <darkenvy> I am in the market to buy a new card because my only option for 8168/8169 realtek is the 2.6 kernel
[04:54] <O_OniGiri> lotuspsychje why install Ubuntu single, if I want dual boot?
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> O_OniGiri: maybe this guide can help you: http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html
[04:55] <lotuspsychje> O_OniGiri: it will save you alot of work
[04:55] <bubbasaures> darkenvy, I doubt you gonna find one claiming to work, however just about any will.
[04:55] <darkenvy> I have 2 usb wifi chips and 2 ethernet chips. Ironically, ALL use the 8168/8169 drivers 0_0
[04:55] <Ben64> darkenvy: uh, r8169 works in 3.x too
[04:55] <darkenvy> I cant get it to work. I may have botched any clean config setup too :\
[04:55] <darkenvy> I can get a IP address but no internet. cant even ping 192.168.1.1
[04:56] <darkenvy> ifconfig shows dropped TX packets
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> some realtek drivers need firmware update from realteks website linux drivers
[04:56] <Ben64> not r8169
[04:56] <O_OniGiri> lotuspsychje it's worth the work and I already decided
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> k
[04:56] <O_OniGiri> thanks for the link
[04:56] <darkenvy> making the drivers seemed to have failed. I followed a guide and (supposedly) installed all the make requirements
[04:57] <Bashing-om> bihaber: I do not know presently .. It is long past my sleep cycle time .. and I must withdraw . If this is not resolved I will return in about 17 hours .
[04:57] <Ben64> darkenvy: come back booted into a 14.04 livecd
[04:57] <darkenvy> okay. give me 10 minutes ;)
[04:57] <darkenvy> see you then ben64~ :D
[04:57] <Ben64> 10 minutes? maybe not me..
[04:58] <bihaber> Bashing-om: sorry to have worn you out. thanks for all your efforts. sleep well
[04:58] <Bashing-om> bihaber: Thanks, I will return .
[05:04] <lowhope> Can you do a minimal (no desktop) install of Ubuntu from the standard desktop medium?
[05:04] <Darkenvy> ben64, I'm back in a livecd setup. On another computer so I can lose connection ;)
[05:05] <xangua> lowhope: is there something wrong with the minimal install .iso?
[05:06] <Ben64> Darkenvy: pastebin the output of "lsmod; lspci | grep Eth; ifconfig"
[05:07] <lowhope> xangua: no, just curious :) I already have the standard one
[05:09] <Darkenvy> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/mjshmSfY
[05:14] <Ben64> Darkenvy: looks like that particular hardware revision has problems
[05:14] <Darkenvy> hmmm
[05:14] <Darkenvy> Ben64, this linux setup is for someone who is ditching windows. Any ideas on solutions? New card?
[05:15] <Ben64> Darkenvy: new card would be easiest for sure
[05:15] <Darkenvy> any solutions for this problematic rev06 Ben64 ?
[05:16] <Ben64> Darkenvy: building drivers and stuff, not so easy, and probably have to redo it each kernel update
[05:17] <Darkenvy> so funny thing, I tried two cards today. The other was a TP-Link and happened to also be a 8168 driver 0_0. Also did not work
[05:17] <Darkenvy> I want to swear off realtek ben64 :P
[05:17] <Ben64> not all 8168 based cards are bad though, mine works perfectly, and gigabit
[05:18] <Darkenvy> Ben64, do you recommend a card?
[05:18] <Darkenvy> should I look out for a specific something when shopping?
[05:19] <Ben64> usually if the box says linux you should be good
[05:19] <Darkenvy> hmmm. Okay!
[05:19] <Darkenvy> Now if I botched the initial drivers... and im too deep to reinstall linux, can I fix that? :P
[05:19] <Darkenvy> I tried so many things I don't know how to clean it up
[05:20] <Ben64> Darkenvy: uh... maybe
[05:20] <Darkenvy> hmmm....
[05:21] <Darkenvy> so I am going to try to build the driver one last time. If I cant get it I will buy a card
[05:22] <ki7mt_> Have a look through menu config when building the kernel. I'd pic a card / version that is supported without the need for a module.
[05:24] <Darkenvy> ki7mt, are you talking to me?
[05:24] <Darkenvy> oh you are :P. how do I know if a card needs a module or not?
[05:25] <Ben64> Darkenvy: intel makes good stuff
[05:26] <ki7mt_> Darkenvy, it will allow both or not. You can also have a look through the linux-drivers for more info: http://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/pub/documentation/network/
[05:26] <Darkenvy> thanks guys ;)
[05:27] <ki7mt_> Pro100 uses the e1000 and is supported accross the bord, sasme with their WIFI cards.
[05:27] <ki7mt_> s/same/sasme/g
[05:28] <Darkenvy> ben64, something wierd happened
[05:28] <Darkenvy> I compiled the driver provided from the site..... on the livecd.... it.... umm..... works?
[05:29] <Darkenvy> I may have botched the environment in the HDD install 0_0. I may need your guy's help in a minute XD
[05:37] <inerkick> I have installed Gnome 3.14 , but i'm not getting the brightness reduced even on the screen if i do it or through keyboard short cut. Kindly help
[05:38] <inerkick> i installed gnome3 on top of Ubuntu Mate. but i cant find the old theme of unity too. kindly help
[05:39] <Darkenvy> Ben64, ki7mt, I Love both of you :D. You guys helped me bounce ideas! I got it working!
[05:39] <Darkenvy> I think what happened is I tried compiling the 2.4/2.6 kernel drivers >.>   . Total n00b mistake
[05:40] <ki7mt_> I didn't do anything, Ben64  fixed you up .. and yes, 2.4/2.6 been there, done that too ..  lol
[05:47] <tomhardy> do motherboards normally come with wifi on desktops?
[05:47] <Darkenvy> heh ;)
[05:49] <undecim> tomhardy, I haven't seen a lot
[05:49] <undecim> tomhardy, But you can add a card
[05:52] <tomhardy> hmmm
[05:52] <tomhardy> internet is down at the office
[05:52] <tomhardy> but i have an iphone with 4g
[05:54] <owen1> new install. i insert the usb (unetbootin) and see: failed to load com32 file menu.c32. any tips?
[05:54] <owen1> (it's lenovo T540p)
[05:58] <bubbasaures> owen1, I see this first on the web with your code, https://bugs.launchpad.net/unetbootin/+bug/1190256

[06:01] <bubbasaures> no problem
[06:13] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Bit of a scripting question:  I have a set of folders (eg f1,f2,f3) and each folder contains one file (eg f1.avi).  How can I move all the files into the parent folder?
[06:15] <Y0uKn0wWh0> dsnyders: hmm... how about mv */*avi ./ ?
[06:15] <sudormrf> do any of you guys know how I can clone the version of gnome that is on centOS7 to ubuntu?
[06:16] <sudormrf> I installed gnome-core to this box, but it is differnt
[06:16] <dsnyders> Y0uKn0wWh0: Let me give that a try.  Stand by...
[06:17] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, gnome 3 desktop?
[06:17] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, nm.  it's the gnome3 flashback
[06:18] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, We would only support what is in the ubuntu repos, not a very good plan is all either.
[06:18] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, it is in the repos
[06:18] <sudormrf> gnome-core
[06:18] <sudormrf> then select gnome flashback
[06:18] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, right but your centos is not
[06:19] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, was using centos as an example.  this is an ubuntu box :D
[06:19] <bubbasaures> I would address what it si you need from the ubuntu version
[06:19] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, well ahead of you o
 do any of you guys know how I can clone the version of gnome that is on centOS7 to ubuntu? this is not an example
[06:20] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, poorly worded.  my mistake.
[06:20] <bubbasaures> heh it happens
[06:20] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, :).  my question is now, is there a way to strip the standard bit of gnome3 out of that package so only gnome flashback installs?
[06:21] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, fallback is a shell in gnome 3 like unity
[06:21] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, yep.  but I don't want the main shell.  just want the fallback shell only.  is that possible?
[06:22] <dsnyders> Y0uKn0wWh0: Copying files into a test folder.  Stand by...
[06:22] <bubbasaures> I think you don't understand the fallback will not run with gnome 3
[06:22] <bubbasaures> without*
[06:22] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, oh...looks like I could remove the gnome-core package and only install gnome-session-flashback
[06:23] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, sure, but gnome 3 is what makes it all magic
[06:23] <Y0uKn0wWh0> dsnyders: hmm... for testing purpose. "mkdir -p /tmp/test ; cd /tmp/test ; mkdir {a,b,c,d} ; touch a/af b/bf c/cf d/df ; ls -lR ; mv */*f ./ ; ls -lR " :P
[06:24] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, and it is magic. :D.  trying to build a lightweight setup.  would prefer that only flashback is installed/used.  the used part is easy if I install everything.
[06:24] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, Lightest build would be a met install.
[06:24] <bubbasaures> net*
[06:25] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, this is true.  however I am specifically referring to the DE :).
[06:25] <Y0uKn0wWh0> sudormrf: if you need lightweight, xfce or lxde is lighter, and there's also mate (which is like gnome2 - gnome2 is not maintained anymore) and cinnamon...
[06:25] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, still relevant you want the lightest anything you net install. ;)
[06:25] <dsnyders> Y0uKn0wWh0: Worked like a charm.  Followed it up with an rmdir * and wiped all the empty directories.  Thanks a bundle
[06:25] <sudormrf> Y0uKn0wWh0, strongly dislike mate and cinnamon.  too buggy for my tastes.  lxde is the lightest, but I dislike it :D.  also dislike xfce :D.  personal preference :)
[06:26] <Y0uKn0wWh0> dsnyders: welcome :3
[06:26] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, yes, this is true.  but I am asking something specific ;D
[06:27] <dsnyders> Y0uKn0wWh0: It was a mental hurdle of wildcarding both the directory AND the filename.
[06:27] <dan_> NICK dan_
[06:27] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, well yes, however not really understanding yet having an end goal, but hey that's how we learn. ;)
[06:28] <Aro2220> Is anyone here familiar with installing Ubuntu on an Acer C720 Chromebook?
[06:28] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, is true :).  this is just a VM right now.  going to remove gnome-core and only install the flashback package and see what happens
[06:28] <Y0uKn0wWh0> dsnyders: well, just two wildcards, it's not so hard :P
[06:29] <bubbasaures> Aro2220, Actually issue will generate help here statistically.
[06:29] <Aro2220> Hi bubbasaures what does that mean?
[06:30] <bubbasaures> Aro2220, It means address the problem rather that who has.
[06:30] <bubbasaures> than*
[06:31] <Aro2220> I understand. I have an Acer C720 chromebook. I installed Ubuntu 14.10 on it but there is no touchpad support.
[06:31] <bubbasaures> sorry for the misspelling, should be Actual
[06:32] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, try http://www.reddit.com/r/chrubuntu/comments/1rsxkd/list_of_fixes_for_xubuntu_1310_on_the_acer_c720/ ?
[06:33] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, more accurately http://www.reddit.com/r/chrubuntu/comments/1pfqhp/acer_c720_chrubuntu_performance_driver_issues/cd6z8qj
[06:33] <Aro2220> http://www.reddit.com/r/chrubuntu/comments/1pfqhp/acer_c720_chrubuntu_performance_driver_issues/cd6z8qj
[06:33] <Aro2220> oops
[06:33] <Aro2220> i'll give that a try now
[06:33] <cmdswitch> ok
[06:35] <Aro2220> okay does anyone know what the gnome xwindow application is called for wireless networks?
[06:35] <Aro2220> i need to connect to my wifi network without using the mouse lol
[06:36] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, going to try the net install
[06:37] <aeon-ltd> Aro2220: networkmanager?
[06:37] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine/Automatic#Wireless
[06:37] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, that's via command line
[06:38] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, alternatively, plug in a mouse
[06:40] <zacwalls> My pc keeps freezing. what can i do?
[06:40] <zacwalls> No i am not swaping
[06:41] <zacwalls> and I am too nervous to update my gpu drivers
[06:41] <bob143> anyone really familiar with raid and mdstat
[06:41] <tekgeek> have you tried another live cd or usb
[06:42] <zacwalls> tekgeek; No i dont have one on hand
[06:42] <zacwalls> tekgeek; any other options?
[06:42] <tekgeek> its going to be either software or hardware so I would do something like run the memory check that you get in the grub loader
[06:43] <tekgeek> or a hard drive testing software you can get those from the manufacturer of the hard drive
[06:43] <zacwalls> Doesnt that take like 2 hrs?
[06:43] <bubbasaures> memory check should be run over night
[06:43] <zacwalls> Oh god
[06:43] <tekgeek> yes but your computer is not working so its not going to be wasting your time
[06:44] <Bluewolf> Hi all, could someone tell me why this command is not working and how I can get it to do so? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/9792030/
[06:44] <zacwalls> Well,
[06:44] <tekgeek> I run full hardware tests all day long on my customers computers with some software on a boot cd its normally 2/6 hours
[06:44] <zacwalls> Oh I think there is something wrong with my repos
[06:45] <zacwalls> when i run sudo apt-get -f install i get error(1)
[06:45] <gsenna> Bluewolf, replace double quotes with single quotes
[06:45] <tekgeek> burn an iso of another linux distro or usb drive and test it out that way
[06:45] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, if you are all ubuntu repos we have the same basically if you have run good updates/upgrades, no partials no broken packages.
[06:45] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Which double quotes?
[06:46] <zacwalls> bubbasures; I cant install any packages
[06:46] <gsenna> Bluewolf, both double quotes
[06:46] <cmdswitch> Bluewolf change " to ' on line 1
[06:47] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Oh okay, silly me? sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[06:47] <cmdswitch> bluewolf correct
[06:47] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, you can tab complete nicks to spell correctly, pastebin you apt-get update and a apt-get dist-upgrade with the commands and all output
[06:47] <bubbasaures> your*
[06:47] <zacwalls> Okay brb
[06:48] <Bluewolf> cmdswitch: Well its still coming up with - sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unknown option to `s'
[06:48] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, This is just addressing updates/upgrades nothing with any software freezing
[06:49] <cmdswitch> Bluewolf, try without '
[06:49] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; yes
[06:49] <bob143> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, -  does this mean the partition table is hosed
[06:50] <zacwalls> http://pastebin.com/hJh8qxmy
[06:50] <gsenna> Bluewolf, it works here. Are you sure you are using single quotes and not some other similar character?
[06:50] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, By the way the issue you had yesterday when turning the swap off seems like it is a swap issue, turning it off should not of had the effect you described, seemed like you had the computer still running hard when you did it.
[06:51] <Bluewolf> gsenna: This is exactly what I used: sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[06:51] <gsenna> Bluewolf, try: sed 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[06:51] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; yes. I am runnign dist-upgrade in term now
[06:52] <Bluewolf> cmdswitch: It did not work.
[06:52] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Same thing: sed: -e expression #1, char 35: unknown option to `s'
[06:53] <gsenna> Bluewolf, I found the problem, there is an extra space between the g and the last single quote when you copy-paste that command. Not sure why.
[06:54] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; http://pastebin.com/BmMBLvCG
[06:54] <jacob_> and i spend it on dope
[06:54] <jacob_> i say i break it up hoe
[06:54] <jacob_> i just put a silencer on my gun
[06:54] <cmdswitch> zacwalls: what do you have in your apt sources for https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ubuntu/ppa ?
[06:54] <Bluewolf> gsenna: So it should be like this - sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­'/etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[06:54] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, The command and everything after please
[06:54] <Bluewolf> Still does not work
[06:55] <zacwalls> cmdswitch; let me see...
[06:56] <pc28> ,;o\s64
[06:56] <pc28> ,o
[06:56] <pc28> jb
[06:56] <pc28> dr75r
[06:56] <pc28> jgy
[06:56] <gsenna> Bluewolf, copy-paste this: sed 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop          But before you press enter check that there is no extra space between the g and the last single quote
[06:56] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, You have ppa's none supported, one not supporting utopic it looks like and on with release ppa stuff, not a good sistuation.
[06:56] <zacwalls> really
[06:57] <zacwalls> am i that much of a noob?
[06:57] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, ppa's should be a last resort
[06:57] <zacwalls> huh
[06:57] <Advation> Could anyone assist with how to add "acpi_osi=!Windows2013" on boot on Ubuntu 14.10. Is this in Grub, if so where in grub? Thanks!
[06:57] <Bluewolf> gsenna: That's strange, it works. What did you change?
[06:58] <Stanley00> Advation: you must edit /etc/default/grub
[06:58] <gsenna> Bluewolf: there is something strange going on with the copy-paste thing.
[06:58] <robo> no -i
[06:58] <Stanley00> Advation: the option is named "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT", and then run sudo grub-update
[06:59] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Ah, well thank you :D
[06:59] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, Never seen a noob scale persay, I think most of us are a noob in some way in linux somewhere.
[06:59] <gsenna> Bluewolf, ok now you have to do the real thing to modify the file: sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[06:59] <zacwalls> and im right here :)
[06:59] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Just to be sure is what is said here true? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwBoHZuauL8
[07:01] <bob143> so if you have two empty disks mdadm has to copy every (non-allocated) byte between the two of them when you create a RAID 1 array?
[07:01] <bubbasaures> !ppa-purge | zacwalls not say needed now, yet  but you should be aware
[07:01] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; http://pastebin.com/Rare8vxW my repos
[07:02] <bob143> I have two disks with brand new empty partition tables and /proc/mdstat says it is going to take 7 hours to sync them (?)
[07:02] <Aro2220> Okay so this problem has gotten a bit too challenging for me. I have an Acer Chromebook C720 and I installed Ubuntu 14.10 on it. But, the touchpad doesn't work. I'm trying to work through a promising fix, but I need internet. I tried to get the wifi working through command line but when I type in VI, my arrow keys input the letters A B C and D and backspace doesn't work so this is really challenging. I was able to press alt-F to open the file menu at the
[07:03] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, ppa's will be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[07:03] <Advation> Stanley00: Thanks! I'll give that a shot.
[07:03] <Stanley00> Aro2220: vi has no arrow keys, you must use hjkl then :3
[07:04] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; How will know witch one is the bad .deb?
[07:04] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, try sudo nano <file> ?
[07:04] <Stanley00> Advation: yep, I'm just not sure the last command is grub-update or update-grub, you must try one of them :3
[07:04] <Aro2220> i dont have nano or vim installed. already tried those =/
[07:04] <cmdswitch> Aro2220, try vi (not vim)
[07:04] <Stanley00> Aro2220: nano is installed by default, IIRC
[07:04] <Aro2220> interesting hjkl works but how do i backspace?
[07:05] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, cmdswitch asked you about it, in your update paste it shows it.
[07:05] <Aro2220> nano is not installed in this distribution...whatever it is that i installed. it is very odd yes
[07:05] <Stanley00> Aro2220: x will delete, vi has no backspace too :3
[07:05] <gsenna> Bluewolf, it would work if you disable some startup apps after.
[07:05] <Aro2220> okay that helps but is there an easy mode...the gui won't connect. any way i can see a log to find out what the problem is?
[07:05] <Stanley00> Aro2220: hmm... ubuntu 14.10 without nano? it's strange...
[07:06] <zacwalls> Where? exactly?
[07:06] <cmdswitch> Aro2220: http://www.viemu.com/vi-vim-cheat-sheet.gif
[07:06] <kushal_k`> Aro2220: you can try using nano instead. Traditionally, vi uses the h j k and l keys to move the cursor. I don't know enough about the different vi/vim versions to say which version has support for using the arrow keys.
[07:06] <Aro2220> neither vim or nano are working but that's okay vi does work and x deletes so that helps me there
[07:06] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Well after it working in the terminal its not coming up with all the start aplications as show there?
[07:07] <Aro2220> i was just hoping that hte gui network connection would work and since it doesnt i wish i could see what the error is
[07:07] <cmdswitch> Aro2220 X deletes, x is delete char (use wisely)
[07:07] <gsenna> Bluewolf, did you do: sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop ?
[07:07] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, You can turn off and see your sources in software & updates second tab
[07:08] <Bluewolf> gsenna: With the one that worked, no. The others yes
[07:08] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; wat?
[07:09] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, What desktop are you running?
[07:09] <zacwalls> utopic unicorn
[07:09] <zacwalls> oh
[07:09] <zacwalls> gnome i think
[07:10] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Yeah, even with sudo it works in the terminal but nothing in the start up applications
[07:10] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, open the software & updates application in the second tab you will see your sources including ppa's basically, you can turn them off and on there.
[07:10] <gsenna> Bluewolf, sudo and also the -i option?
[07:10] <zacwalls> where is software and updates located? system settings?
[07:11] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, It is in the menu.
[07:11] <bubbasaures> >&< not and
[07:12] <gsenna> Bluewolf, if you copy pasted the last command I wrote then you should probably logout and then login.
[07:12] <zacwalls> ppa launchpad? bubbasaures
[07:13] <Bluewolf> gsenna: This does not work: sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g­" /etc/xdg/autostart
[07:13] <Bluewolf>               This does work but only in the terminal, not startup aplications?: sudo sed 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[07:13] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, a ppa's are launchpad and like a webpage they have a specific address.
[07:13] <zacwalls> bubbasaures; do i have to get rid of tor?
[07:15] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Output of terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9792195/
[07:15] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, we are in the wild now far from any real understanding on your part. However it is not the end of the world, but you have painted yourself into a corner, along with isssue we have not even touched, I'm done trying is all, sorry.
[07:16] <gsenna> Bluewolf, please copy-paste this command: sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
[07:16] <zacwalls> bubbasures; I fixed the problem i think
[07:16] <zacwalls> No worries
[07:16] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, when we have to explain every single bit it all gets jumbled and lost.
[07:16] <zacwalls> Cuz u guys quit early
[07:16] <zacwalls> lol
[07:17] <zacwalls> not ur fault
[07:17] <bubbasaures> I doubt you have fixed anything, but hey it's your computer. ;)
[07:17] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, many of us wont hold hands, it is not really helping you will not retain it.
[07:17] <Bluewolf> gsenna: That's done it, it works now in startup aplications.
[07:18] <gsenna> Bluewolf, ok, now you have to disable the startup apps you dont use.
[07:18] <bubbasaures> that is the way the brain works, common knowledge really you have to do some of the work to retain in what ever you do.
[07:18] <zacwalls> But it is not helping me when i cant understand somthing and you wont do anything at that point. Anyway this is getting off topic
[07:19] <bubbasaures> zacwalls, I gave you more than enough to work with it is not my fault, externalizing is a bad habit.
[07:20] <zacwalls> yes, but i see you guys as teachers, and you wont teach
[07:20] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Yes that's what I need to do, anything in particular you recommend unticking?
[07:21] <gsenna> Bluewolf, i dont use ubuntu in this machine. Sorry.
[07:22] <Bluewolf> gsenna: Well thank you for the help all together :D
[07:22] <gsenna> Bluewolf: sure, no problem.
[07:25] <zacwalls> bubbasures; I cant gain access to delete the ppa manually
[07:25] <gagalicious> thanks guys all for everything :D
[07:25] <zacwalls> How can i?
[07:32] <Aro2220> This is so weird...my wifi card is connecting to my router...it has an internal ip...but it can't access the rest of the internet
[07:33] <gsenna> Aro2220, does your router have internet access?
[07:33] <Aro2220> yes i'm on it with this computer
[07:33] <Aro2220> and i can connect to it with my mobile, my other laptop etc
[07:33] <Aro2220> if i ifconfig i see my wlan0 connected to an internal ip that corresponds to the same internal ip my router admin page shows for this chromebook
[07:34] <Ben64> Aro2220: what is the output of "route"
[07:34] <robo> Aro2220 did you try a ping test?
[07:34] <Aro2220> Destination 192.168.2.0 gateway * genmask 255.255.255.0 flags U metric 0 red 0 use 0 Iface wlan0
[07:34] <Aro2220> yes it can't reach anything
[07:34] <Ben64> try pinging 4.2.2.2
[07:34] <Aro2220> ping google.com resovle as: "connect: Network is unreachable"
[07:34] <Aro2220> 4.2.2.2: Network is unreachable
[07:34] <robo> hmm
[07:35] <robo> Aro2220 I don't know what to say to that problem
[07:35] <Aro2220> weird right?
[07:35] <robo> yeah
[07:35] <Ben64> Aro2220: how did you paste it here so fast without internet
[07:35] <Aro2220> i typed it
[07:36] <Aro2220> it's on my laptop with no internet connection. this computer is on my desktop and i just typed away...
[07:37] <bubbasaures> who was that masked typist
[07:37] <Ben64> Aro2220: lspci | grep Wireless
[07:37] <robo> Aro2220 did you try hard connection to your router and not wifi?
[07:37] <Aro2220> Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[07:37] <Aro2220> How do I try hard connection to my router and not wifi?
[07:38] <gsenna> isnt he missing the default destination in the route command?
[07:38] <robo> just plug your laptop into the router using the ethernet cable
[07:38] <Aro2220> chromebook Acer C720 has no ethernet port
[07:38] <robo> oh
[07:39] <Aro2220> wifi workd in chrome os
[07:39] <Aro2220> maybe i goofed up too many odd settings and should just wipe it and start over
[07:40] <robo> tried turning the computer off and then on again?
[07:40] <gsenna> or at least the interface.
[07:40] <Aro2220> yeah just did. it started to connect to the router after that. i had to ifconfig wlan0 up though since it was down at the start
[07:41] <robo> maybe try using a different wifi source next time you leave the house
[07:41] <Aro2220> i could try tethering to my phone
[07:42] <robo> yeah
[07:42] <Aro2220> could you give me an overview of how wireless works in linux?
[07:42] <Aro2220> i just set this up by editing a bunch of files related to something called wpa_supplicant
[07:43] <Aro2220> i just kind of want to get my head around how wifi is handled and who is involved so maybe i know what to check
[07:43] <Aro2220> it's kind of a broad question though...
[07:43] <robo> I can't think of how to explain things I guess... Not the best at networking myself hahaha
[07:44] <Aro2220> i think maybe that's where i should begin...time to read =/
[07:45] <robo> maybe delete your connection and then reenter the password and stuff after trying to reconnect
[07:45] <Aro2220> i'm not even 100% sure how to do that through the command line
[07:46] <Aro2220> and i can't really use the gui because my touchpad isn't working and probably won't until i get internet access
[07:46] <Aro2220> not that i really mind too much, this is kind of fun
[07:46] <robo> just click on your network connection icon on your desktop panel and click on edit connections
[07:46] <robo> oh okay
[07:47] <Aro2220> sure i think i can navigate there with my keyboard
[07:47] <Ben64> Aro2220: why did you set it up that way
[07:47] <Aro2220> This is a chromebook, i was following some instructions on linux.org on how to dual boot linux/chrome os (ubuntu 14.10)
[07:47] <lacrymology> vlc seems to want libx264.so.120 but that doesn't seem to be supported anymore
[07:47] <Aro2220> the distro it gave me was set up this way
[07:47] <lacrymology> any clues?
[07:47] <Ben64> wpa_supplicant is _no_ fun
[07:47] <Aro2220> i got it to work once with a raspberry pi but i really dont understand how
[07:48] <Ben64> lacrymology: vlc is in the repositories and should work fine
[07:48] <bubbasaures> lacrymology, what is the music/video type?
[07:48] <robo> libx264 has to still be supported
[07:52] <robo> lacrymology I just did an apt search and nothing for libx264.so
[07:52] <robo> only libx264-142 and libx264 -dev
[07:54] <aeon-ltd> robo: a guess but get the 142 ver
[07:54] <lacrymology> Ben64, bubbasaures, robo: when I load an h264 video, the vlc libavcodec_plugin.so library complains that there's no libx264.so.120. I have only version 142, as robo said
[07:54] <aeon-ltd> robo: likely 142 is just a build number
[07:54] <lacrymology> I tried to install libx264-120, but it's been deprecated
[07:54] <lacrymology> no, it's a version
[07:54] <lacrymology> it's got different symbols
[07:55] <lacrymology> I tried creating a symlink, but a open_x264_120 or something similar function doesn't exist
[07:55] <bubbasaures> lacrymology, Try converting it, vlc should play it.
[07:56] <lacrymology> no
[07:56] <lacrymology> I don't want to convert it
[07:56] <lacrymology> I want to have my codecs and a version of vlc that is compatible with the versions of the codecs ubuntu is installing
[07:56] <bubbasaures> heh, your loss it is probably the video itself not vlc
[07:56] <lacrymology> bubbasaures: no, it's not
[07:56] <bubbasaures> web would and vlc would say different
[07:57] <lacrymology> bubbasaures: if you read the symptoms I described you would know it's a library version incompatibility
[07:57] <cfhowlett> lacrymology, vlc come and ubuntu codecs are not the same at all.
[07:57] <bubbasaures> lacrymology, Love a user with more attitude than they know what to do with, err your the one needing help, not me. ;)
[07:58] <lacrymology> cfhowlett: vlc has a libavplugin that uses libav (ffmpeg) codecs to decode x264, as far as I can tell. It seems to depend on an old version that's been dprecated
[07:58] <lacrymology> bubbasaures: I've already watche the video in vlc under windows
[07:58] <Ben64> lacrymology: vlc is in the repositories and should work fine
[07:59] <lacrymology> Ben64: you said that already, and I agree. Sadly, "should" is not fixing my problem
[07:59] <Ben64> well you ignored it completely last time
[07:59] <Ben64> so you do indeed have vlc from the repositories?
[07:59] <cfhowlett> lacrymology, fffmpeg?  not in uubntu as it is deprecated in favor of avconv.  try this: install libav-tools.
[08:00] <robo> lacrymology when you get vlc from the repos, it comes with all of its own codecs... shouldn't need to install others
[08:00] <cfhowlett> true ^^^ !
[08:01] <robo> lacrymology more less, I don't know what to say to the problem.  I guess if me I would uninstall and reinstall vlc
[08:03] <lacrymology> robo: I got it from the repos. I uninstalled libx264, vlc re-installedit
[08:03] <robo> oh okay
[08:06] <Ben64> lacrymology: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy vlc; which vlc; dpkg -S `which vlc`"
[08:06] <n2619> hello, how i can safety remove flash use?
[08:06] <Ben64> n2619: unmount it
[08:07] <theadmin> n2619: In the file manager, there should be an "Eject" button near your flash drive. Similarily, you can right click it in the launcher panel and choose "Safely remove".
[08:07] <theadmin> Both do the trick.
[08:08] <antoine163873> Hello !
[08:08] <antoine163873> Hey !
[08:09] <n2619> well when I unmount it blub on flash still is on.  on Windows when I safety remove flash blub is off.
[08:09] <antoine163873> Il y a quelqu'un ?
[08:09] <gagalicious> my iptables... doesnt get honored by docker at all
[08:09] <gagalicious> i'm using the default docker for ubuntu 14.04
[08:09] <theadmin> n2619: That's... normal, it happens to me too, I have no idea what that means
[08:09] <gagalicious> what is icc and how to docker with iptables?
[08:09] <cfhowlett> !fr | antoine163873
[08:09] <theadmin> n2619: Should be fine to unplug it anyway
[08:09] <robo> hi antoine
[08:09] <gagalicious> any help on iptables and docker?
[08:10] <Ben64> gagalicious: i don't see how they're related at all
[08:10] <bubbasaures> robo, tab complete nicks
[08:10] <robo> bubbasaures, hahaha cool, thanks
[08:10] <bubbasaures> no problem, it helps
[08:11] <theadmin> It really does.
[08:11] <robo> for sure
[08:11] <gagalicious> why doesnt docker honor my iptables?
[08:11] <deetrustytahr> need help for network card suddenly not detected on 14.04 :(
[08:12] <Ben64> gagalicious: i don't see how they're related at all
[08:12] <gagalicious> why doesnt docker honor my iptables?
[08:12] <Ben64> gagalicious: EXPLAIN YOURSELF
[08:12] <cfhowlett> !details | gagalicious,
[08:14] <deetrustytahr> After a thermal shutdown on my machine I boot to 14.04 CIFS files failed during boot up. However, when I boot to 12.04, everything works fine.
[08:18] <Safa_[A_boy]> Hello. What do this package do? "thumbnailer"
[08:18] <robo> deetrustytahr, I have never worked with CIFS files that I can remember, but maybe this will help for fixing
[08:18] <robo> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/en/man8/mount.cifs.8.html
[08:19] <Safa_[A_boy]> "pkg_check_modules(THUMBNAILER thumbnailer REQUIRED)"
[08:20] <lacrymology> Ben64: http://dpaste.com/03RTKF7
[08:21] <deetrustytahr> robo, thanks. I already tried searching in forums but got nothing. Well my best solution would be, re-installing 14.04 through live-usb. However, my problem is how to re-install 14.04 without affecting my files and applications. Any idea?
[08:22] <Ben64> lacrymology: very weird, i just installed vlc, also on 14.04 amd64, and every file i have "just works"
[08:22] <lacrymology> Ben64: can you check your libx264.so.xxx version?
[08:22] <robo> deetrustytahr, did you make a separate home partition on your harddrive when installing 14.04?
[08:22] <lacrymology> should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
[08:23] <deetrustytahr> robo, yes
[08:23] <Ben64> lacrymology: libx264.so.142
[08:23] <lacrymology> so weird
[08:23] <lacrymology> something... in the cache, maybe
[08:23] <Ben64> lacrymology: try mplayer2
[08:24] <robo> deetrustytahr, you can reinstall using that same home partition and the data will be safe, but you will lose your applications
[08:24] <lacrymology> I think I'll delete /var/cache/apt and retry
[08:24] <robo> deetrustytahr, just don't check to format the home partition
[08:25] <lacrymology> Ben64: same thing: lacrymology@Roller:~/workspace/latex/cv$ mplayer '/media/Data/Downloads/Marvel s Agents of SHIELD 2x08 - Las cosas que enterramos [HDiTunes Ac3][DUAL] By JBilbo.avi'
[08:25] <lacrymology> mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.120: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[08:25] <lacrymology> Ben64: looks like the problem is in libavcodec-54
[08:25] <Ben64> lacrymology: maybe if you have PPAs for things
[08:28] <deetrustytahr> robo, I tried to re-install via liveusb yesterday, the first option is 1. to install alongside 14.04 and 12.04 the other one 2. is erase the partition. so i discontinued
[08:29] <robo> deetrustytahr, oh, you need to check the box that says "do something else" or something like that to do it manually
[08:30] <robo> I think maybe you didn't set up a separate partition for your home folder.  You can go into your 12.04 system
[08:30] <deetrustytahr> robo, ok i also did it but after that I dont know what to do next since im afraid to ruin the partitions haha
[08:30] <robo> and get to your 14.04 home folder that way and save the data to an external device
[08:32] <robo> deetrustytahr, yeah I understand what you mean. I used to do a lot with the partitions when I was new to linux, so learned the hard way... by making mistakes hahaa
[08:35] <deetrustytahr> robo, haha this is my first time to encounter samba failures and i dont want to mess things up, maybe i'll just try to back up my data tomorrow in an external hard drive. Then re-install 14.04. rather than playing with the odds haha
[08:35] <deetrustytahr> thanks anyway
[08:35] <robo> deetrustytahr, cool, have fun
[08:39] <nudoge> hi
[08:40] <robo> nudoge, hi
[08:40] <nudoge> so touch looks like a lot of time and thought was put into it
[08:41] <bubbasaures> nudoge, there is a touch channel and an offtopic channel
[08:41] <cfhowlett> !touch | nudoge
[08:41] <nudoge> lol
[08:41] <nudoge> thanks
[08:42] <nudoge> i didn't know Ubuntu Touch was offtopic
[08:43] <cfhowlett> nudoge, you know now.
[08:43] <DaleK5whr> Silly wabbit
[08:43] <nudoge> learning is great
[08:43] <InteliBlentav> guys enableing socks proxy through terminal ?
[08:48] <Ben64> lacrymology: playing the same file as you in mplayer and vlc, works perfectly. check PPAs or any manually installed packages you may have that are causing conflicts
[08:50] <citrix> hii
[08:52] <robo> citrix, hi
[08:52] <lacrymology> Ben64: I've just upgraded the system, so all PPAs are disabled. Cn you help me find what installed packages are not in the current database anymore?
[08:52] <lacrymology> Ben64: and yes, I know it's not the file
[08:53] <theadmin> lacrymology: ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported should be of some help.
[08:54] <lacrymology> theadmin: You have 84 packages (2.6%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded You have 203 packages (6.4%) that are unsupported << should I just get rid of all this?
[08:55] <theadmin> lacrymology: No, not quite, but those that can no longer be downloaded are suspicious
[08:55] <theadmin> lacrymology: They are probably leftovers from before you upgraded.
[08:55] <theadmin> Might be from PPAs, who knows
[08:56] <lacrymology> there's some that are obiously from PPAs and that I want to keep
[08:56] <fhf> aaaa
[08:56] <lacrymology> oracle-java8-installer
[08:56] <lacrymology> e.g.
[08:57] <theadmin> Sure, you can keep those. Just try to figure out which of these are giving you problems.
[08:58] <Ben64> You have 0 packages (0.0%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded .... You have 138 packages (5.4%) that are unsupported
[08:58] <Ben64> your numbers are quite higher
[09:02] <lacrymology> Ben64: I still cannot see anything video-related =/
[09:02] <Ben64> can you pastebin the full list from that command
[09:09] <|aaron> can someone help me configure udisks to set the "hide_hid_files" and "windows_names" options when it automounts an ntfs partition?
[09:10] <lacrymology> ah
[09:10] <lacrymology> found the problem
[09:11] <lacrymology> I had an old version of libav manually installed in /usr/local/lib
[09:12] <lacrymology> hm..
[09:12] <lacrymology> how to manually delete..
[09:13] <fishcooker>  from this condition http://prntscr.com/5uqb92 should i copy partition table from sda to sdb .. OR..  just to create single partition of sdb with type "linux raid file system" then do #mdadm manage /dev/md0 only
[09:13] <theadmin> lacrymology: /usr/local/ stuff is unimportant, you can just delete things from /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/bin/
[09:17] <lacrymology> theadmin: yes, I know that (well, I wouldn't call it unimportant, really, but I get your point), I'm just trying to guess how to delete that completely without deleting other import stuff
[09:17] <lacrymology> important
[09:17] <theadmin> lacrymology: If you have the original source you installed it from, you may be able to "make uninstall"
[09:18] <theadmin> But other than that, eh.
[09:19] <theadmin> lacrymology: Also, if you install anything from source, it's recommended to use "checkinstall" as opposed to "make install" because that registers your installation with APT so that you can easily upgrade it or remove it later.
[09:19] <theadmin> But that won't help much right now.
[09:19] <theadmin> Though, technically, you could reinstall the package with "checkinstall" and then remove it.
[09:22] <icsam80> icsam80
[09:22] <icsam80> ok
[09:32] <citrix> hii
[09:33] <foormea> hello hello. the ubuntu minimal net install cd, does it let me install any flavour of ubuntu? or do i need to get the right mini cd for the flavour i want? i want to install kubuntu plasma5 from a mini install cd
[09:33] <citrix> please help me
[09:33] <theadmin> foormea: It will let you install any you want, or even several at once.
[09:33] <foormea> theadmin: great ,thanks!
[09:34] <foormea> wifi-wise, does it need firmware files on a separate media, like debian?
[09:34] <theadmin> foormea: I'm on wi-fi and never had problems with the netinstall.
[09:34] <cfhowlett> foormea, could be that wifi is supported out of the box ...
[09:34] <theadmin> (no separate media needed)
[09:34] <foormea> and does it support wifi install/config ? :)
[09:34] <foormea> great!
[09:34] <foormea> thank you for clarifying all that
[09:35] <foormea> i've got loads of blank CDs that need using... rather use a CD than a DVD :)
[09:35] <foormea> therefore i prefer to mini-install
[09:35] <foormea> :)
[09:35] <theadmin> Well, you can use a USB stick to install too.
[09:36] <foormea> lost my usb stick :(
[09:36] <theadmin> Daw.
[09:36] <citrix> hii
[09:36] <foormea> and i've got no other laptop nearby to pxe boot
[09:36] <theadmin> citrix: Yes, hello, what is your issue?
[09:36] <foormea> no other computer, rather
[09:36] <citrix> hiii
[09:36] <citrix> cn you help me///
[09:37] <theadmin> citrix: ...If you tell us what your problem is.
[09:38] <cfhowlett> !ask | citrix,
[09:39] <citrix> how we will implement percentage in python
[09:39] <theadmin> ...I'm not quite sure I follow, percentage of what?
[09:40] <votlon> hello all, I'm trying to install 14.04 onto my macbook pro mid 2009 i cant seem to find the usb in my drive options
[09:40] <votlon> am i doing something wrong?
[09:42] <cfhowlett> !mac | votlon
[09:42] <cfhowlett> citrix, details = DETAILS.  You gave none.  no details = no answers for.  try again.
[09:43] <citrix> okay
[09:43] <cfhowlett> !python | citrix
[09:44] <citrix> okay thanks
[09:47] <votlon> So i found out i have the macbookpro 5,3 but ubuntu only supports 12.04 for my version. I'm having trouble finding 12.04 on ubuntu's website
[09:48] <theadmin> votlon: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[09:48] <votlon> ty for the help!
[09:49] <creichen> Hi!  I'm trying to help someone load their xmodmaprc on 14.04.  I've been told that .xinitrc/.xsession aren't supposed to be used, but there is supposed to be something called `Startup Applications' with the same effect.  I can't seem to find that, though (might be because the machine is in German?).  Any suggestions?
[09:53] <reinhardt1053> Anybody upgraded the crmsh from 1.x to 2.x ? http://crmsh.github.io/news/
[09:54] <EriC^^> creichen: open the dash and type startup
[09:56] <theadmin> creichen: The command is "gnome-session-properties"
[09:56] <theadmin> Run that.
[09:57] <Thumpxr> hey, is it possible to run a dual monitor setup, on which the unity-starter is always visible on the secondary desktop, but only when toggled with "superkey" on the primary monitor ?
[09:57] <citrix> total_per = "total number%i" % total number * 100/500
[09:57] <citrix> print "total per"
[09:57] <zebbi> hi can u help me¿
[09:57] <citrix> its not currect answer
[09:57] <zebbi> i created an acces point
[09:57] <citrix> yes
[09:57] <zebbi> with hotspot
[09:58] <zebbi> but  when i connect with my movile phone

[09:58] <zebbi> it says receving ip.
[09:58] <zebbi> all the time and  i cant connect
[09:59] <citrix> so what should i do??
[09:59] <EriC^^> citrix: the total number of items is 500?
[09:59] <citrix> yes
[10:00] <theadmin> citrix: Assuming the current number is stored in a variable called "i" you can basically do: print(i/500*100)
[10:01] <theadmin> But that's, like, basic math :/
[10:02] <citrix> but its not printinting
[10:03] <khax> hi
[10:05] <citrix> but its not running
[10:05] <cfhowlett> citrix, python support in python channels.  this is ubuntu.

[10:10] <sabotender> I'm so happy
[10:10] <ame_> cfhowlett:ttys0,ttyACM0
[10:10] <khax> why?
[10:10] <Guest55221> hello every body . I installed lamp and trying to change document root . i always change it from here sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default   but after installing ubuntu 14.04 it didn't work .
[10:10] <cfhowlett> ame_, read the resource.  I'm not going to configure stuff for you.
[10:11] <sabotender> khax: I have my ubuntu web server running with little headache. I switched to Ubuntu from OSX Server
[10:11] <khax> nice :)
[10:11] <citrix> hii
[10:11] <sabotender> I thought I would have to shed real tears. The only problem I had was configuring the static IP via SSH, but that wasn't difficult either
[10:11] <ame_> Then what is this ttyS0??
[10:13] <citrix> hii
[10:15] <citrix> hii
[10:18] <Guest55221> hello every body .can any one help ?  I installed lamp and trying to change document root . i always change it from here sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default   but after installing ubuntu 14.04 it didn't work .
[10:18] <EriC^^> citrix: what's your problem?
[10:19] <EriC^^> Guest55221: try /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
[10:24] <creichen> theadmin: Thanks!  That allowed me to add the application.  Turns out that Ubuntu now uses xkb and overrides these settings, though.  This will be tricky...
[10:25] <EriC^^> citrix: ?
[10:39] <votlon> So just finished installing 12.04.04 alternative download, the installer worked normally but when i went to boot up my machine it blacked out and had two purple lines from the top right corner running down
[10:39] <votlon> any ideas on what the issue could be?
[10:39] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset | votlon
[10:40]  * mcphail hates kernel modesetting
[10:40] <votlon> cfhowlett: thx ill look over this forum!
[10:41] <mcphail> votlon: using "nomodeset" is a temporary fix. If you install proprietary drivers for your GPU it will fix the problem. If you want to use open source drivers you'll want to find alternatives to "nomodeset" quickly
[10:43] <votlon> So am i going to need to boot to a live cd to change these settings?
[10:44] <mcphail> votlon: no. When the bottloader appears press "e" to edit the boot commands to add the nomodeset parameter
[10:44] <mcphail> *bootloader
[10:44] <votlon> i see
[10:45] <mcphail> votlon: what video card are you using?
[10:47] <votlon> everything is stock macbookpro 5,3 there dual GeForce 9600M GT
[10:48] <mcphail> votlon: OK, then I'd strongly suggest you consider installing the proprietary nvidia drivers to solve the video problem. The open source nvidia drivers are not very good on 12.04
[10:49] <votlon> So let me get this right im replacing "quiet splash $vt_handoff" with "quiest splash nomodeset" ?
[10:49] <votlon> quiet splash nomodeset *
[10:50] <mcphail> votlon: don't know if you have to remove the "vt_handoff" but adding "nomodeset" there is good
[10:52] <votlon> so added nomodeset after the $vt_handoff and pressed f10 but now its just a blank purple screen
[10:53] <votlon> should i try to reboot or give it a second?
[10:53] <oriceon> Hello. Somebody know where iptable rules are stored on a ubuntu 14?
[10:53] <oriceon> I`m trying to vim to edit a line
[10:56] <pretodor> guys, help. sometimes i want to see what a certain operator of a command does. right now, the way i do it is by running 'man <command>' and then scrolling through the different operators till i find the one i'm looking for. suffice it to say, i am not utilizing the terminal the way i should. could you tell me how i can get the description of only the operator i'm interested in?
[10:58] <EriC^^> pretodor: type man <command> then type /<operator> and press n for the next match
[10:58] <EriC^^> like man ls , then /-a
[10:59] <Thumpxr> Hello. my machine shall turn off the monitor after several minutes inactivity. that works. but to the same time (no matter which time i select) it locks my profile and the screen goes back on. also my spotify stops playing..

[11:03] <tytan> Hey guys. I started a lice DVD of Ubuntu 14.10 and want to check my RAM for errors. But how do I do that? :/
[11:03] <pretodor> EriC^^: thanks for the swift reply. i tested out your suggestion. it works perfectly
[11:03] <ikonia> tytan: you don't want ubuntu - you want memtest
[11:04] <votlon> On my macbook pro 5,3 just installed 12.04. It was having a black screen with two purple lines after grub. I've tried booting with nomodeset twice now, and it got rid of the black screen but now its just a blank purple screen that doesn't seem to load. Any ideas what i should try now?
[11:04] <tytan> ikonia My computer doesn't boot that http://www.memtest86.com
[11:04] <ikonia> tytan: then you have bigger problems
[11:04] <tytan> volent Install Ubuntu 14.04.1
[11:04] <ikonia> tytan: if your system can't boot the memtest tool, you should not be looking at trying to install an OS
[11:05] <tytan> ikonia The computer is fine. When I put new RAM in it it works flawless. But I want to check the old RAMs :P
[11:05] <tytan> ikonia It's a HP Pro 6200 MT with UEFI boot
[11:05] <mehdi__> tytan, in grub there is a option call +memtest try that
[11:05] <awalGarg> Hi there everyone!
[11:05] <tytan> mehdi__ No there isn't since it's an uefi boot
[11:05] <tytan> awalGarg hi
[11:06] <tytan> There must be a way to test the RAM from Terminal ^^;
[11:06] <mehdi__> press escape or shift before
[11:06] <tytan> mehdi I'll try that
[11:06] <ikonia> tytan: not sure what that matters
[11:06] <ikonia> tytan: you can still boot any ISO via efi
[11:07] <awalGarg> Well I have ubuntu 14.04 lts installed, and I wanna install 14.04.1 (via upgrade, and not re-install). I was reading this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2014-July/000188.html but I can't understand where are the instructions for 14.04 :(
[11:07] <tytan> awalGarg sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
[11:09] <awalGarg> tytan: Is that the same as updating all packages from the software updater?
[11:09] <tytan> awalGarg You will have Ubuntu 14.04.1 after that ^^
[11:10] <tytan> awalGarg But yes. It should be the same. I guess ...
[11:11] <awalGarg> tytan: ok, great! Btw, I have updates bieng installed right now, so can I run the upgrade in between?
[11:11] <tytan> awalGarg no
[11:11] <tytan> You would need root permissions for both
[11:11] <awalGarg> ah, ok. Thanks tytan! :)
[11:11] <votlon> So i found out i have to add acpi=off to my boot params so would it looks like this? "quiest splash $vt_handoff nomodeset ACPI=off" or does the acpi go someone else in the page?
[11:12] <votlon> somewhere else on the page*
[11:13] <mcphail> votlon: it can go next to nomodeset (but I think it is in lower case i.e. acpi=off)
[11:14] <votlon> mcphail: nope it didnt work either :/
[11:16] <mcphail> votlon: remove "quiet" and "splash" and replace them with "nomodeset nolapic acpi=off". See if there are any informative messages about failures
[11:18] <odyssey4me> hi there - I'm trying to make use of a local file as a mirror list for the apt-get mirror method, but it doesn't seem to want to work... can anyone assist with getting this going?
[11:18] <tytan> I was able to boot the memtest image. Was my fault in the first place ^^
[11:18] <votlon> mcphail: No its still freezing on this purple blank screen
[11:19] <votlon> mcphail: I think im going to reinstall the os
[11:19] <tytan> So thanks for helping. Have a nice day everyone ^^
[11:19] <ablest1980> get 14.04 lts votlon
[11:20] <odyssey4me> blast, now that I read the source I see that it only works with the http source
[11:20] <votlon> ablest1980: i was going to try 14.04 but ubuntus documentation said 12.04 was more supported for my macbookpro 5,3 than 14.04
[11:21] <mcphail> votlon: might still get this working. Try one more boot with parameters set as "nomodeset nolapic acpi=off vt.handoff=1"
[11:21] <ablest1980> k votlon sry
[11:22] <IamTrying> I have one MacbookAir, when i open there terminal and connected using ssh to my CentOS, RHEL, Ubuntu, Fedora boxes. I can VI editor and use CMD+C in OSX to copy terminal and CMD+V to paste. How can i do this same terminal copy paste with Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, FreeBSD) ?
[11:23] <votlon> mcphail: no :/ didnt seem to work
[11:23] <mcphail> votlon: no messages at all?
[11:23] <ablest1980> hi arab
[11:23] <tytan> IamTrying I belive you have to enable that in the terminal preferences
[11:24] <votlon> mcphail: no sir just the ubuntu purple in full screen
[11:24] <mcphail> votlon: do you get a terminal if you press "ctrl-alt-F1,2,3,4 or 5"?
[11:24] <votlon> no text just color
[11:24] <votlon> ill try
[11:24] <IamTrying> tytan: in Linux Terminals i have not found anything like in OSX terminal you have.
[11:24] <votlon> mcphail: nope
[11:25] <mcphail> votlon: has this install worked before?
[11:27] <votlon> mcphail: this is my third attempt to install linux on this mac, and it always failed. No, i just put the iso on a usb today
[11:27] <mcphail> votlon: does the livecd work?
[11:27] <ablest1980> votlon http://askubuntu.com/questions/564845/installed-ubuntu-14-10-on-macbook-pro-5-5-without-refit-or-refind-hangs-on-pu
[11:28] <ryan__> ok weird problem.. same machine all linux distros wont dowload torrents, boot windows. download torrents. have been searching the internet franticly. cant find solution
[11:28] <votlon> mcphail: i cant boot to live cd from the version i have i think its an alternative iso
[11:28] <ikonia> ryan__: what distribution are you using now ?
[11:28] <ryan__> ikonia: ubuntu 14.04
[11:29] <ikonia> ryan__: what torrent client ?
[11:29] <ablest1980> votlon view this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2075383
[11:29] <ryan__> ikonia: deluge, transmission but i have tried at least 4 others all same result
[11:29] <ikonia> ryan__: ok, so can you give me an example of one of the torrent files you are trying
[11:29] <serviscope_m1nor> Well this is frustrating. which ever idiot thought "hold shift to get a boot menu" was a good idea should be given a non booting ThinkPad
[11:30] <serviscope_m1nor> a ThinkPad won't boot if a key is held down
[11:30] <serviscope_m1nor> So I'm completely stuck.
[11:30] <serviscope_m1nor> :(
[11:30] <ryan__> ikonia: http://1337x.to/torrent/1033944/John-Wicks-2014-720p-WEBRiP-x264-AC3-SiMPLE/ as example
[11:30] <OerHeks> ryan__, try one of these torrents > http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/
[11:31] <ikonia> ryan__: there is no torrent on that link
[11:31] <ikonia> ryan__: the site has been taken down as it's illegal
[11:31] <ryan__> anyhow i tried at least 20 torrents
[11:31] <votlon> mcphail: gonna try nouveau.noaccel=1 as a boot parameter
[11:31] <OerHeks> ryan__, that torrentsite give you a malware.exe
[11:31] <mcphail> votlon: just to check, you're spelling the "nolapic" parameter properly (it is "nolapic" rather than "noapic")?
[11:31] <ikonia> ryan__: please show me an active torrent that you are using
[11:31] <votlon> ablest1980: thanks for the posts hopefully these work arounds work T.T
[11:31] <serviscope_m1nor> it's annoying being unable to fix a machine because someone thought looking cool was more important.
[11:32] <uporot> hello all! how i can used ubuntu live on macbook air ?(without install)
[11:32] <ablest1980> np :)
[11:32] <ryan__> ikonia: i have tried at least 50 of them all different sources
[11:32] <votlon> mcphail: uhmmm ill try it again i want to say i spelled it nolapic thou :)
[11:32] <ikonia> ryan__: please show me an active torrent that you are using
[11:32] <mcphail> votlon: :)
[11:32] <ryan__> ikonia: VMware_Workstation_7.0.0-203739_i386_Linux_+_Keygen_ultimate.torrent
[11:33] <votlon> mcphail: hum... well this time was different
[11:33] <ablest1980> keygen for linux?
[11:33] <ikonia> ryan__: yeah, not really interested in illegal torrents
[11:33] <ikonia> ryan__: please show me a legal one
[11:34] <OerHeks> ryan__, try one of these torrents > http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/
[11:34] <mcphail> votlon: different in a good way?
[11:34] <ryan__> i did
[11:34] <ryan__> no go
[11:34] <ikonia> OerHeks: thank you, good call
[11:34] <ikonia> ryan__: please define "no go"
[11:34] <ryan__> does not conenct to peers. same torrent on windows does connect to peers
[11:35] <ikonia> ryan__: is this your home desktop ?
[11:35] <ryan__> ikonia: yes
[11:35] <votlon> mcphail: i did "quiest splash $vt_handoff nolapic" and it was the blank purple screen but now it has the darker purple lines from the old black screen issue
[11:35] <ikonia> ryan__: can you show me the output of the command "uname -a" please
[11:35] <mcphail> votlon: i think you're still going to need nomodeset
[11:35] <ryan__> ikonia: Linux ryan-desktop 3.13.0-43-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 8 19:35:06 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:36] <mcphail> votlon: nad always get rid of "quiet" and "splash" if you're debugging
[11:36] <ikonia> ryan__: ok - so it's a stock unaltered install, great
[11:36] <ikonia> ryan__: what is the current client you are using ?
[11:36] <votlon> mcphail: kk
[11:36] <ryan__> transmission 2.82 (14160)
[11:37] <ryan__> ikonia: transmission 2.82 (14160)
[11:37] <ikonia> ryan__: ok, can you take a screen shot of the client please trying to download the ubuntu torrent
[11:37] <ryan__> sorry i dont really have time, i g2g in 5 mins
[11:38] <ikonia> ryan__: ok, come back when you do have time
[11:38] <ryan__> ikonia: but thanks for the help i was looking for amybe a quick fix, but i have it in 3 different linux distros
[11:38] <ryan__> ikonia: and on my laptops the same
[11:38] <ikonia> ryan__: can't give you a fix until I understand the situation
[11:41] <philinux> ryan__;~ try using deluge instead
[11:41] <Guest38966> Hello all, is there any good method to block connection to specific domain?
[11:42] <mcphail> Guest38966: /etc/hosts?
[11:43] <votlon> mcphail: Werid stuff is happening man
[11:44] <mcphail> votlon: better than no stuff at all
[11:44] <Guest38966> mcphail, Is it accept domain name as input?
[11:45] <serviscope_m1nor> anyone know where the lightdm logs go?
[11:45] <Guest38966> I google something like /etc/hosts and ufw
[11:45] <votlon> mcphail: yeah got it to load into the os using the nouveau.noaccel=1 parama but its still a black screen, the reason i know its on the login screen thou is cuz i heard the little drum sound :)
[11:46] <Guest38966> all examples are deal with ip address
[11:46] <ablest1980> votlon maybe that problem is fixed in 14.04 lts?
[11:47] <mcphail> votlon: and does ctrl-alt-f1,2,3,4,5 etc working to bring up a terminal?
[11:47] <votlon> mcphail: ill tell you in one sec trying nouveau.noaccel=1 with nomodeset now
[11:48] <mcphail> Guest38966: enter "127.0.0.1 the.domain" and it should redirect away from "the.domain". You might need to reboot to see the changes take effect
[11:48] <votlon> mcphail: this boot time is seriously long thou :/
[11:49] <mcphail> votlon: no point using nouveau parameters if you're using nomodeset. Nouveau isn't called if you use nomodeset
[11:49] <ablest1980> bye bbl
[11:49] <votlon> mcphail: explains why i wouldnt boot then :p
[11:49] <votlon> it wouldnt*
[11:50] <mcphail> votlon: what is the native resolution of the macbook screen?
[11:50] <votlon> mcphail: should i leave vt_handoff or remove it?
[11:51] <mcphail> votlon: leave it in place
[11:52] <nukeu666> im on saucy and update-manager is telling me it can't upgrade form saucy to quantal, but i want it to goto trusty...am i missing a config?
[11:52] <votlon> mcphail: Native Resolution is 1440x900
[11:53] <dionysus69> hey guys, I cant connect to the pptp vpn on windows server from ubuntu, but I can from windows 8 what am I doing wrong ? :\ I am missing some configurations I guess ?
[11:53] <OerHeks> nukeu666, really? Quantal came before Saucy
[11:53] <nukeu666> OerHeks, i know, dunno why it tried to upgrade to quantal
[11:53] <votlon> mcphail: no im no able to bring a terminal box up :/
[11:53] <OerHeks> nukeu666, show us a screenshot, as i don't believe it.
[11:54] <mcphail> votlon: what kernel parameters are you currently using? I've lost track...
[11:54] <citrix> i got my answer
[11:54] <nukeu666> OerHeks, in a bit...installing saucy security updates :p
[11:55] <votlon> $vt_handoff nouveau.noaccel=1 thats it
[11:56] <mcphail> votlon: and you're getting the login sound with that one?
[11:56] <votlon> mcphail: yes
[11:57] <mcphail> votlon: and you didn't get it with "nomodeset"?
[11:57] <votlon> mcphail: correct
[11:58] <mcphail> votlon: very odd. The vesa driver usually works for everything. The good news is we can probably improve this
[11:58] <nukeu666> OerHeks, http://imgur.com/Z7Rp6WU
[11:58] <votlon> mcphail: .-.oh what do you have in mind?
[11:59] <OerHeks> nukeu666, i am stunned !
[11:59] <votlon> this is how i feel about my graphics cards right now. http://rptd.ch/misc/funny/linux_nvidia_fu.jpg
[12:00] <nukeu666> OerHeks, maybe because of a incomplete upgrade? should i go ahead with trusty upgrade?
[12:00] <mcphail> votlon: we have 2 ways to go. The first is to try to force a video resolution on boot
[12:00] <OerHeks> nukeu666, upgrade should bring you to trusty 14.04 yes
[12:00] <votlon> mcphail: okay do i type it in the same spot as the boot params?
[12:01] <mcphail> votlon: add the boot parameter "drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1024x768.bin"
[12:02] <votlon> mcphail: keep it with the handoff and accel params too? or just by itself
[12:02] <mr_boo> i've got windows 7, ubuntu and windows 2003 server on an ssd drive. why isn't the win 2003 server listed in the grub menu?
[12:02] <mcphail> votlon: keep the others
[12:03] <mcphail> votlon: and if it doesn't work just keep $vt_handoff
[12:04] <mr_boo> oh and i have enabled the boot flag on the win 2003 partition
[12:04] <mr_boo> this is a pastebin after grub repair http://paste.ubuntu.com/9793676/
[12:05] <votlon> mcphail: well it has a differnt configuration of random pixels on the screen but i still heard the login sound
[12:05] <votlon> mcphail: trying without veau now
[12:07] <mr_boo> hope grub related questions are considered on topic for this channel
[12:08] <mr_boo> this channel used to be way more active than this for what i remember
[12:08] <votlon> .-.
[12:09] <votlon> mcphail: no it seems withotu noveau.noaccel=1 it wont get to the login screen
[12:09] <votlon> without*
[12:10] <mcphail> votlon: well, I think we've made progress. I think it is a problem getting the edid of the screen
[12:10] <mcphail> votlon: what was the screen res again?
[12:11] <votlon> 1440x800 i think lemme double check thou
[12:11] <votlon> mcphail: its 1440x900 my bad
[12:12] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:12] <cmdr_Red> Hello I installed Ubuntu Make how do I run it?
[12:12] <mcphail> votlon: aargh. Laptop screen resolutions are a pain as there is no built in edid to force in the kernel which matches
[12:12] <ikonia> ubuntu make ?
[12:12] <Ben64> cmdr_Red: what is Ubuntu Make?
[12:12] <ikonia> cmdr_Red: what ar eyou trying to do ?
[12:12] <cmdr_Red> I want to use Android Studio
[12:13] <mr_boo> i've got win 7, win 2003 and ubuntu on the same ssd drive but the win 2003 doesn't show up in the grub menu. any ideas?
[12:13] <votlon> mcphail: Ahah its okay thanks for all your help thou tonight, i got school tomorrow and i was just hoping to get the laptop working for notes
[12:13] <votlon> mcphail: its starting to overheat so im gonna let it sit for a long while, hopefully tomorrow i can get this all fix!
[12:13] <ryan__> you can install Kali :P it will reinstall grub and look for all new partitions
[12:14] <Ben64> ryan__: not a good solution and kali isn't even supported here
[12:14] <mcphail> votlon: OK. We can deug this further but it is going to take a while so do it some other time, perhaps. I think the install is fine: we're just battling video drivers
[12:14] <ryan__> Ben64: works within 20mins though...
[12:14] <Ben64> probably not
[12:14] <mr_boo> ryan__: is kali similar to grub-repair?
[12:15] <Ben64> kali is a distro based on ubuntu, pointless to install for that purpose
[12:15] <mr_boo> i've run grub-repair and it generated this pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/9793676/
[12:15] <cmdr_Red> Can I get help running Ubuntu Make? It supports Android Studio and I have it installed but dunno how to run it
[12:15] <votlon> mcphail: All my linux installs have been virtual machines, so i havent really seen this side of linux before .-. thank you for all your help again!
[12:16] <Ben64> cmdr_Red: you still haven't answered the question both ikonia and myself have posited
[12:16] <BluesKaj> mr_boo, run sudo os-prober  then run, sudo update-grub
[12:16] <cmdr_Red> It's Developer Tools package released by Canonical
[12:16] <mr_boo> BluesKaj: gonna try. many thanks!
[12:16] <votlon> Ben64: btw i have a picture of our credit card on my desktop .-. idk where i got it from thou
[12:16] <votlon> your credit card*
[12:17] <Ben64> thats cool
[12:17] <ryan__> mr_boo: i dont know why they are all hating the idea of installing kali, i had the same problem. kali installs a different grub and looks at all the partitions. 99% chance it will work if u install kali. and it will only take 20 mins
[12:18] <votlon> Ben64: have to say im jelly of the name man:p i tried to get mine changed and they wouldnt do it
[12:18] <mcphail> votlon: if all else fails you can install the nvidia drivers with blind typing but that's for another day!
[12:18] <Ben64> votlon:  >:)
[12:18] <wisdise> I'm hungry
[12:19] <BluesKaj> ryan__, kali linux uses the same grub , now stop it
[12:19] <amadou> facebook
[12:19] <Ben64> cmdr_Red: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-make shows how to get it going, says it makes a unity launcher, try that
[12:21] <cmdr_Red> @Ben64: Im not running Unity it's Linux Mint's Cinnamon...
[12:21] <Ben64> mint isn't supported here...
[12:22] <cmdr_Red> well ubuntu make should work for all derivatives.. and I don't see any channel for that project so I went here.
[12:22] <Ben64> cmdr_Red: well this channel is only for ubuntu
[12:27] <lupo> ciao
[12:30] <cmdr_Red> @Ben64: got it working still through command line thanks anyway.

[12:37] <tytan> Are there known issues for installing Ubuntu 14.04.1 on a SSHD?
[12:38] <Rory> tytan: No
[12:38] <Rory> tytan: Are you asking before installing just to check, or are you seeing problems?
[12:39] <BluesKaj> evo7, on tp-link router firmware page do the network machines show up in DHCP Clients with mac addresses and IPs?
[12:39] <tytan> A customer called me and asked to get an alternative for Windows 8.1. I want to offer Ubuntu 14.04.1. He has a Lenovo U330P with a SSHD (8GB SSD / 500GB HDD)
[12:40] <Rory> tytan: It's my understanding that the drive will be presented to the OS as just a single 508G disk, and that the 8G is used internally by the drive for caching
[12:40] <Rory> tytan: Does that make sense?
[12:40] <tytan> I think it does ^^
[12:40] <BluesKaj> tytan, offer 14.10, 14.04 is still buggy despite being LTS
[12:41] <Rory> I might be wrong, however. So, if you can boot a live USB on the machine and run the "sudo fdisk -l" command, you could see for sure.
[12:41] <tytan> And Ubuntu 14.10 is not buggy?
[12:41] <tytan> Ok, I'll do that
[12:41] <Rory> tytan: 14.10 won't recieve updates for as long as 14.04, so factor that into your decision
[12:41] <stobix_> Hm. Steam is trying to install bogus graphics drivers each time I run it. How do I tell it to stop?
[12:41] <Rory> tytan: Will your customer be comfortable upgrading in 8-12 months?
[12:42] <tytan> Rory I don't think so ^^;
[12:42] <Rory> tytan: Then I would recommend 14.04 just by virtue of it receiving security updates for something like 6 years
[12:42] <Rory> rather than the regular releases which I think are 1 year
[12:42] <Ben64> 9 months
[12:42] <Rory> wll there you go
[12:43] <tytan> Ok, thanks for sharing your opinion. I'll try that ^^
[12:43] <Rory> BluesKaj presumably isn't just spouting nonsense though: would you still recommend 14.10 for a "set it and forget it" customer?
[12:43] <Ben64> we always see people come in here with a version that is LTS+1 years after EOL asking for support, its not fun for anyone
[12:44] <Ben64> 8.10, 10.10, 12.10, 14.10 is next for the disappointments
[12:44] <Rory> My opinion would be to go for the LTS unless you have a reason not to, rather than the reverse.
[12:44] <Rory> hell, I'm still running 12.04 at work
[12:44] <BluesKaj> Rory, yes, it's based on my experience with 14.04 and it's graphics and wifi problems, whereas 14.10 is solid as a rock
[12:45] <Rory> Well, can't know until you try with a flash drive. Every laptop is different
[12:45] <Ben64> pretty anecdotal though
[12:46] <Ben64> 14.10 introduces almost no new features, and a slightly newer kernel that will be available in 14.04 i believe... next month?
[12:46] <Rory> yeah, 14.10 was never going to be anything special
[12:47] <BluesKaj> Rory, you guys can disregard my experience with 14.04 and go with the std response about LTS , but it's not as stable as it should be for an OS that's supposed to be stable and supported for 5 yrs
[12:47] <Rory> supported for 5 years, in this context just means security updates
[12:48] <Ben64> for a counter anecdote, i run 14.04 and it's been perfect
[12:48] <Rory> frankly I can't tell the difference. I run 14.10 at home and it's been perfect, but then so was 6.10 so.
[12:49] <evo7> !BluesKaj help me brah
[12:49] <mcphail> Since changing to 9-moth support, the non-LTS releases should only be recommended to enthusiasts, imho
[12:49] <mcphail> *month
[12:49] <Rory> mcphail: They are. The default download option on the website is for the LTS
[12:50] <teward> Ben64: Rory: BluesKaj: as a counter to everything: all software has bugs, all releases have bugs, and they will always have bugs as that is the nature of technology.  (This discussion is better suited for a different channel though)
[12:50] <BluesKaj> evo7, you can make the IPs solid in the tp-link firmware by reserving the IPs in the DHCP reserve option
[12:50] <Rory> yeah I think tytan has enough to chew on for the moment. #ubuntu-offtopic exists though
[12:51] <tytan> I'm already fine with my decision :P
[12:51] <BluesKaj> teward, well 14.04 has more than it should for an LTS
[12:51] <teward> BluesKaj: not going to have this discussion without coffee, sorry.
[12:51] <teward> BluesKaj: (my initial statement is still true and covers $all_releases)
[12:51]  * teward disappears for breakfast
[12:52] <BluesKaj> teward, well , it seems the decision's been made so it's moot anyway
[12:52] <Ben64> BluesKaj: what you're saying just isn't factual though
[12:53] <BluesKaj> the facts are what I experienced with 14.04, it's not the same for all hardware, not like it should be
[12:53] <BluesKaj> Ben64,^
[12:54] <Ben64> which is anecdotal at best and shouldn't be used to suggest a release, especially one with a very short life
[12:54] <evo7_> BluesKaj:Done! ive put my IP and mac address and now in the client list on lease time it says permanent
[12:54] <BluesKaj> evo7_, ok you may need to reboot the router
[12:55] <dAnjou> hi, is there an interactive grep tool in ubuntu (or for linux)? i'd like to have grep in less so to speak
[12:55] <evo7_> BluesKaj:DONE! Anything else? Or should a fire up thee beef server and see if it works .. port 3000 is opened
[12:56] <kamil_> hello i need help
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Ben64, more than anecdotal , it's what I've sen in here and other ubuntu chats about 14.04 graphics and wifi

[12:57] <Ben64> BluesKaj: literally the definition of anecdotal
[12:57] <dAnjou> EriC^^: i want to interactively toggle lines that match or don't match a pattern
[12:58] <BluesKaj> thsat's your defintion Ben64, and it's not anecdotal form the poor user who has to deal with these buigs
[12:58] <Ben64> "(of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research."
[12:58] <BluesKaj> and that's all i have to say, Ben64 ...I have stuff to deal with
[12:58] <Ben64> BluesKaj: from the dictionary. stop being so dense. 14.04 is LTS, bugs will be fixed.

[13:02] <kamil457> nvidia

[13:02] <evo7_> BluesKaj:Ok thank you for your time! Wish you best mate! I'll keep messing with it
[13:02] <hateball> kamil457: The card is so new you will need to install the binary driver from nVidias site
[13:02] <Ben64> kamil457: what version of linux?
[13:02] <tomkmem> /dev/sdd:

[13:03] <kamil457> very new
[13:03] <tomkmem> cmdswitch|afk: yes
[13:03] <tomkmem> I tried: hpacucli ctrl all show config
[13:03] <Ben64> kamil457: open a terminal and type this, tell me the output. "cat /etc/issue"
[13:03] <kamil457> 14.10
[13:04] <tomkmem> this shows me two possible drives like this: array C (Solid State SATA, Unused Space: 0  MB). physicaldrive 2I:1:7 (port 2I:box 1:bay 7, Solid State SATA, 480.1 GB, OK). logicaldrive 4 (447.1 GB, RAID 0, OK)
[13:04] <kamil457> Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l
[13:04] <tomkmem> array D (Solid State SATA, Unused Space: 0  MB). physicaldrive 2I:1:8 (port 2I:box 1:bay 8, Solid State SATA, 480.1 GB, OK)
[13:04] <tomkmem> But I don't know which one of these /dev/sdd is so i can't find out which drive is bad :( Sorry I feel so dumb here
[13:05] <hateball> Ben64: support was added in nvidia driver 343.22 and iirc that is not what you get with ubuntu 14.10
[13:05] <cmdswitch|afk> tomkmem: are your drives different sizes?
[13:05] <tomkmem> cmdswitch|afk: no they are the same size
[13:05] <Ben64> kamil457: ok you're going to need to add this PPA to the system, and install the package "nvidia-graphics-drivers-346"   --->   https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[13:05] <kamil457> ok i try
[13:05] <Ben64> hateball: right, but the ppa is easier, more supportable, and updates itself :)
[13:05] <tomkmem> logicaldrive 3 (447.1 GB, RAID 0, OK) and logicaldrive 4 (447.1 GB, RAID 0, OK)
[13:05] <hateball> Ben64: True enough
[13:06] <cmdswitch|afk> cat /proc/partitions ?
[13:06] <kamil457> ok gow install package?
[13:06] <kamil457> how install package
[13:06] <cmdswitch|afk> smartctl -i /dev/sdd ?
[13:06] <Ben64> kamil457: on that page it shows how to add the PPA, you need to do that first.

[13:07] <kamil457> ok i see

[14:04] <gioans> oke, i have question for everybody

[14:05] <cfhowlett> !ask | gioans
[14:05] <gioans> i want add another unicode microsoft fonts to libery office, what i to do ?
[14:05] <Night_Fury> give the guy a break,..hes new,...
[14:08] <OerHeks> gioans, here is a wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts  and more http://www.wikihow.com/Install-TrueType-Fonts-on-Ubuntu
[14:09] <Night_Fury> i was just going to send him that link
[14:09] <Night_Fury> heres another off the ASK UBUNTU site: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1120045
[14:09] <OerHeks> restricted extras give some fonts for a start
[14:10] <Night_Fury> is unicode in that?
[14:10] <cfhowlett> OerHeks, I always decline and I have NO shortage of fonts
[14:10] <theadmin> gioans: Click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[14:10] <theadmin> Err.
[14:10] <theadmin> gioans: Click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/ttf-mscorefonts-installer - sorry.
[14:11] <gioans> theadmin: i click , it Not Found
[14:11] <theadmin> gioans: The second link, I mistyped
[14:11] <Night_Fury> for some reason im thinking that ther eis a script for the ms fonts
[14:11] <Night_Fury> im not sure
[14:12] <cfhowlett> Night_Fury, script is in the ubuntu-restricted-extras installation
[14:12] <theadmin> Night_Fury: They are in the repositories, you just need to install a package.
[14:12] <gioans> i were click two link, the same: Not Found
[14:12] <theadmin> gioans: The second one should work.
[14:12] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:13] <theadmin> That pulls in a whole bunch of unnecessary stuff but what OerHeks says also works.
[14:13] <theadmin> If you want just fonts, then "sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer"
[14:13] <Night_Fury> try this,..this is the script that i used:
[14:13] <gioans> ok, i will try
[14:13] <Night_Fury> sudo apt-get clean
[14:13] <Night_Fury> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[14:13] <Night_Fury> bu tits been a while

[14:22] <NovemberInvoice> Hi. I'm trying to figure out what could be either preventing my system from suspending or waking it up... I've caught it unsuspending itself a few seconds or a few minutes after suspending. Could someone else me diagnose?
[14:22] <cfhowlett> NovemberInvoice, at first guess, your "wake on ..." settings
[14:22] <cfhowlett> e.g. "wake on lan"
[14:23] <NovemberInvoice> cfhowlett: do you know how to check that via terminal? I run xmonad, not unity
[14:23] <cfhowlett> NovemberInvoice, I don't know how from terminal.  it should be in your power settings
[14:26] <NovemberInvoice> cfhowlett: I've confirmed that Wakeup-on-lan is disabled for my network device
[14:26] <cfhowlett> NovemberInvoice, help me out --- what CLI command?
[14:27] <NovemberInvoice> cfhowlett: ethtool
[14:27] <NovemberInvoice> I followed this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan)
[14:27] <NovemberInvoice> I don't have an ethernet port and ethtool didn't have much to say about wlan0
[14:28] <cfhowlett> NovemberInvoice, gotta be something else waking it ... looking for power management CLI
[14:31] <cfhowlett> NovemberInvoice, bit more reading: power management, sleep management  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1446718  http://askubuntu.com/questions/213399/power-sleep-management     Sadly, this is far outside my range of knowledge. might want to ask in #ubuntu-server

[14:45] <Sycrid> hey guys, im  trying to install ubuntu, but no matter what I do, I don't get the option to install alongside windows 7. I have partitioned the disk in windows and everything, but in the linux install it appears as only 1 500gb hard drive. Does anyone know why and how I can solve this?
[14:46] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | Sycrid
[14:47] <Sycrid> lotuspsychje: unfortunately that doesnt help
[14:48] <lotuspsychje> Sycrid: wich version of ubuntu is this?
[14:48] <Sycrid> It's like the ubuntu install just doesn't see windows even on the single partition it thinks it has. It reads it as freespace
[14:48] <Sycrid> latest version
[14:49] <lotuspsychje> Sycrid: you sure your w7 still works? you didnt delete some of important w7 partitions?
[14:49] <Sycrid> I'm sure it does, I've been going back and forth between this installer and windows all day to try and resolve the issue
[14:50] <lotuspsychje> Sycrid: you could try 14.04 maybe, see what it does
[14:50] <lotuspsychje> Sycrid: normally you should be able to see all the options, clean install, dualboot etc
[14:51] <BluesKaj> Sycrid, what file system did you assign to the linux partition
[14:52] <lotuspsychje> Sycrid: you can tell us if its an uefi machine also?
[14:54] <Sycrid> sorry guys, someone in the office is trying to help. I'll get back if I need to.

[15:11] <lucidguy> need to switch to a different user.  This works but previous users env still active sudo -u micedev bash
[15:13] <EriC^^> lucidguy: use sudo -i -u <user>
[15:15] <xeon123> I didn't change the sources.list, but now when I do 'apt-get update' I get this info: ": Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead".  What should I do to fix this? I am using Ubuntu.
[15:15] <ArtooDetoo> xeon123: which version?
[15:15] <xeon123> ArtooDetoo, 14
[15:16] <cfhowlett> xeon123, that happens.  usually self-correcting given time.  errors because not all repo mirrors update at the same time.
[15:16] <chand> hello every one
[15:16] <cfhowlett> xeon123, or switch to the main mirror
[15:16] <cfhowlett> chand, greeetings
[15:16] <chand> how to set icon size through commands?
[15:17] <xeon123> cfhowlett, So you are saying that mirrors are being updated and not all get the same update at the same time, is it?
[15:17] <chand> i upgraded ubuntu 14.04 now
[15:17] <chand> and his icon size is too large
[15:17] <cfhowlett> xeon123, exactly.   the mirror you can "fully" trust is the main #ubuntu mirror.
[15:18] <chand> how to resize icon size in ubunut 14.04?
[15:19] <lotuspsychje> chand: <xangua> chand: you can resize the launcher icons in appearance settings, notice that this won't affect the dash
[15:21] <chand> lotuspsychje, i tried appearance settings but my pc display form size is big thats reason i cant see it
[15:22] <lucidguy> Eric, thanks this did the trick.
[15:23] <chand> lotuspsychje,  is there any command to set icon size?
[15:24] <lotuspsychje> chand: dont you see the slider with icon size?
[15:25] <deepSnit> chand...maybe alt-f7 will allow you to move the window to access the slider
[15:26] <arshia> does anyone know how to install Code::Blocks IDE on my ubuntu with the downloaded .deb package from the www.codeblocks.org ?????????? it gives me an error.
[15:27] <chand> deepSnit, thank you so much

[15:27] <chand> i can set icon size
[15:27] <arshia> second question : when i want to open a .zip file with Archive Manager , it gives me an error.
[15:28] <arshia> why?
[15:28] <cfhowlett> arshia, half the information = half the answer.  maybe if you, oh, I don't know, actually TOLD us the error?
[15:29] <lotuspsychje> !info p7zip | arshia try this one
[15:30] <arshia> lotuspsychje: Where should i try the code that the bot gave me ??
[15:31] <lotuspsychje> arshia: tell us wich error you get on the archive first
[15:31] <arshia> lotuspsychje: let me pastebin it.
[15:31] <nukeu666>  installing trusty wont delete my /home right?
[15:32] <cfhowlett> nukeu666, set a dedicated /home and don't format; no
[15:32] <xangua> That depends nukeu666, do you have a separate home partition?
[15:33] <arshia> lotuspsychje: No need for pastebin : An error occurred while loading the archive.
[15:34] <nukeu666> cfhowlett, xangua everything is on the same partition
[15:34] <cfhowlett> !home | nukeu666
[15:35] <nukeu666> groan, why did i ever try to upgrade ;_;
[15:36] <tomodachi> nukeu666: because you are brave
[15:36] <tomodachi> fear not your bravery shall be remembered
[15:36] <tomodachi> in the hall of heroes
[15:36] <nukeu666> as i lay 6 feet under
[15:37] <nukeu666> please tell me a ext4 parititon can be split/shrunk
[15:37] <Php_PC> hy, i need some help with vsftpd ftp connection
[15:37] <cfhowlett> nukeu666, gparted
[15:37] <nukeu666> yup, looking it it now
[15:38] <jhutchins> nukeu666: You need to back it up anyway, just in case, and might as well just repartition and restore.
[15:38] <A124> Any idea if... latest Ubuntu has support for lz4 in squashfs?
[15:38] <marty_axel> can t someone help me with the configuration of vsftpd ?!
[15:40] <teward> marty_axel: if you actually say what your problem is and what you're trying to accomplish you might get better results
[15:41] <arshia> can anyone help me with my problems ???
[15:41] <teward> !anyone | arshia
[15:41] <teward> boo ubottu
[15:42] <White_Cat> I want to refresh my ip adress in ubuntu so that it asks dhcp for a new one (I have one defined for static IP) how can I achieve this?
[15:42] <teward> arshia: it would help if you specifically say what your problem is rather than ask for 'anyone' to help
[15:42] <White_Cat> I want to avoid rebooting the machine
[15:42] <marty_axel> i configured vsftpd from google. All perfect, but when i set pasv_address=my_public_ip and try to connect using my public ip, it`s not working. I can connect with localhost and 192.168.1.14, but not with public ip
[15:42] <hy> hey
[15:43] <robo> hy, hey
[15:44] <yecril71pl> How do I specify subdirectories to be excluded from adding to an archive?
[15:47] <octoid> Is there a simple way to boot a 14.04 iso toram *and* save the changes to some other writeable media?
[15:47] <DJones> !persistance | octoid
[15:47] <DJones> !persistant | octoid
[15:47] <octoid> DJones, I was under the impression that you cannot combine persistant with toram ?
[15:47] <DJones> octoid: You'd need to install to a USB stick, but that sounds like what you want
[15:48] <octoid> DJones, I think persistant will save changes back to the USB stick - but cannot work in combination with toram
[15:48] <DJones> octoid: I see what you mean, I'm not sure about that, I thought you meant install on a usb, boot with the usb & be able to save changes, I'm not sure about toram only
[15:49] <arshia> teward: I told it before :
[15:49] <octoid> DJones, yup, I used to do it years ago with a knoppix CD.. but that was a long time ago and things like overlayfs didn't exist back then
[15:50] <arshia> I'm Unable to install Code::Bocks IDE from a downloaded .deb package forme the codebllocks.org website , it gives me an error.
[15:50] <cfhowlett> arshia, if you want help, restate your issue
[15:51] <arshia> cfhowlett: Look , I said i want to install Code::Blocks IDE from a downloaded .deb package form the www.codeblocks.org , but it gives me an error.
[15:52] <robo> octoid, I am not sure I am understanding what you mean by toram, but you can try saving data to /media/external_device
[15:52] <cfhowlett> arshia, install it from the ubuntu repos
[15:52] <arshia> cfhowlett, I don't want to waste my internet again.
[15:53] <arshia> The second question is : How to install JDK for ubuntu ????
[15:53] <robo> arshia, what is the error?
[15:53] <cfhowlett> arshia, don't understand why you would attempt to install a .deb from outside the repo, but as it didn't work, consider your optoins
[15:55] <TartugalBrunalis> is there a guide/forum post/anything with some information on complete system encryption which options are best and such?
[15:56] <A124> Q: I would like to create own spin ("distro version") of Ubuntu.. how would I go about that?
[15:56] <chand> how to set my folder dailog box size according to my display size?
[15:57] <cfhowlett> !uck | A124
[15:57] <A124> arshia: sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
[15:57] <octoid> robo, toram loads the entire installation CD/USB into RAM (meaning you can remove the physical media after boot), then stores any changes you make using overlayfs (again into RAM)
[15:57] <octoid> robo, I'm looking for a way to save this overlayfs to some media
[15:58] <A124> cfhowlett: Thanks!
[15:58] <cfhowlett> A124, happy2help!
[15:58] <octoid> robo, DJones check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9795437/

[16:00] <A124> cfhowlett: They talk about... adding packages.. I would like minimal setup, also talks about .. Live CDs.. not actual installations.
[16:01] <inerkick> I installed Gnome3.14 on Ubuntu 14.04 Mate, but I want font of Ubuntu Unity ambiance. How to get that. Kindly help.. And the terminal Ctrl+Alt+T not works in Gnome3.14 but comes in Mate.
[16:02] <arshia> A124: Do you have a way for my first question ???
[16:02] <cfhowlett> A124, see the linux options    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_remastering_software
[16:02] <White_Cat_> I want to refresh my ip adress in ubuntu so that it asks dhcp for a new one (I have one defined for static IP) how can I achieve this?
[16:02] <White_Cat_> I want to avoid rebooting the machine
[16:02] <White_Cat_> sorry not having the most stable conneciton today
[16:03] <A124> arshia: I see no question
[16:04] <xangua> inerkick: Ubuntu uses the Ubuntu font family
[16:04] <arshia> A124: I said i want to install the Code::Blocks IDE form a downloaded package form the Main Code::Blocks website; but i'm unable to do it. why ????
[16:04] <arshia> A124: the error is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9795440/
[16:04] <cfhowlett> arshia, because you used a strange version and did NOT install from the repo.
[16:04] <inerkick> But it looks different in mate than in gnome3.14 xangua
[16:05] <arshia> cfhowlett: what is rep ???????
[16:05] <inerkick> the fonts of Activites and menu bar are bigger. And in the fonts of icons are light xangua
[16:05] <OerHeks> arshia, on what ubuntu version?? Utopic comes with 13.12-3
[16:05] <cfhowlett> arshia, open Ubuntu Software Center.  Search for your package.  install your package.  done.
[16:06] <arshia> cfhowlett: Can you tell me what is rep ????
[16:06] <cfhowlett> arshia, note:  installing from .deb, as you attempted, doesn't get the dependencies.
[16:06] <cfhowlett> !repo | arshia
[16:06] <xangua> inerkick: sounds like you want to open your font settings, have you tried it?
[16:07] <inerkick> i tried it, i installed tweak tool but it doesn't change. their i don't see ambiance theme
[16:07] <arshia> cfhowlett: Just think that i cannot download the file from the software center. What should i do with this status ???????
[16:08] <White_Cat> dhclient -r eth0 does nothing
[16:08] <cfhowlett> arshia, did you even TRY to install from software center?
[16:08] <A124> cfhowlett: Thanks. Kind of.. they.. all all for liveCDs it seems. But that might be handy maybe too.
[16:09] <cfhowlett> A124, I must not understand what you're after.  I thought you wanted your very own customized ubuntu???
[16:09] <xangua> inerkick: gnome tweak tool is for gnome shell
[16:09] <arshia> cfhowlett: Of course !! but i don't want to waste my Internet again...
[16:09] <TartugalBrunalis> is there a guide/forum post/anything with some information on complete system encryption which options are best and such?
[16:09] <cfhowlett> arshia, I've given you the fix.  Your choice.
[16:10] <A124> cfhowlett: Yes, customized Ubuntu, but not Live CD
[16:10] <inerkick> yeah, even terminal not shows the fonts xangua and as i said ctrl+Alt T don't open terminal their as well
[16:10] <OerHeks> arshia, support is limited to the versions in softwarecenter, why can't you install it from softwarecenter?
[16:10] <cfhowlett> A124, and you want to distribute this ubuntu?
[16:10] <A124> cfhowlett: More like stripped down and customize then customized.
[16:11] <xangua> 10:09 <xangua> inerkick: gnome tweak tool is for gnome shell, it is not for mate
[16:11] <A124> cfhowlett: Maybe.
[16:11] <cfhowlett> !mini | A124, have you looked at the .mini??  lets you pick and choose
[16:11] <liseq> hi guys
[16:11] <Guest55221> hello every body . I installed lamp and trying to change document root . i always change it from here sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default   but after installing ubuntu 14.04 it didn't work .
[16:11] <arshia> OerHeks: oK,
[16:11] <liseq> i have a huge problem while installing
[16:12] <liseq> ive tried to install 13.10 and 14.04
[16:12] <A124> cfhowlett: Yes, I am currently at that. Would do for on-disk disk install testing setup, not distribution though.
[16:12] <octoid> TartugalBrunalis, full disk encryption is only possible with OpenBSD (the second stage bootloader can decrypt softraid), all GNU/Linux still need an unencrypted boot partition containing the kernel
[16:12] <liseq> and all i see after loading screen is a crash picture
[16:12] <liseq> http://pics.tinypic.pl/i/00621/t1u3hvu6znsd.jpg
[16:12] <liseq> like that
[16:12] <cfhowlett> A124, OK.  set it up, save the .iso, right?
[16:12] <A124> cfhowlett Also not aware if I am able to kickstart that, and also would like USB instalation support for real machines. For virtuals CD is not a hasle.
[16:13] <A124> cfhowlett: Yeah I got the ISO
[16:13] <cfhowlett> !ltsp | A124, ah, I think you want LTSP ... net install tool
[16:14] <cfhowlett> !netboot | A124
[16:14] <A124> cfhowlett: I do not think so. But might come handy too, thank you.
[16:15] <A124> What the link says is using the ISO as HDD.. the hybrid thing.. which does not work for minimal. I will try to play with Kickstart later, and see if I can augment Minimal somehow.
[16:16] <TartugalBrunalis> octoid: that is sufficient for me, is there a guide on that and which options are best?
[16:16] <cfhowlett> A124, might want to check in with #ubuntu-server.  They tend to be quite knowledgeable about this type of stuff
[16:17] <juddx01> hi
[16:17] <A124> TartugalBrunalis: During install you can choose if encrypted or not.
[16:17] <A124> cfhowlett: ooo. Thanks.
[16:17] <_polto_> hello all ! I have a networking problem. I added a bridge to my network config. It dows not start on boot.
[16:17] <_polto_> If I manually do all the commands, it works, but not from init.
[16:18] <chand> hello every one
[16:18] <_polto_> I did tried "service networking stop"
[16:18] <_polto_> and it crash with "stop: Job failed while stopping"
[16:18] <_polto_> any idea ?
[16:19] <chand> how to set display rosulution?
[16:19] <nickander> r_mode
[16:19] <nickander> wait wrong channel
[16:19] <octoid> TartugalBrunalis, I've not used any guides for linux disk encryption - I just use the net install image (text based installer) because it allows for more customisation when configuring the partitions (and encrypted LVM)]
[16:20] <octoid> TartugalBrunalis, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[16:21] <jhutchins> chand: Most of the desktop environment have a settings page, sometimes in the menu and sometimes accessed by right-clicking the desktop.
[16:21] <jhutchins> chand: If you don't have either of these, xrandr can set the resolution.
[16:21] <TartugalBrunalis> okay thank you
[16:23] <chand> jhutchins, i tried through setting page but i cant set rosulution through setting
[16:24] <sivaji> hi
[16:24] <Colossus> What is the best cloud for Ubuntu?
[16:25] <cfhowlett> Colossus, "BEST" is the one you use ... too subjective
[16:25] <jhutchins> Colossus: linode has a good reputation.
[16:25] <Colossus> Cause I use Google Drive but on Ubuntu takes a while to sync and I want something that works thought every device and os
[16:26] <uroyanme> how do I join another room
[16:30] <chand> xrandr not changing rosulution showing there are only 1 seze
[16:30] <_polto_> If I start my bridge issuing manually commands from /etc/network/interfaces it works, but not at boot !! Any idea on how to solve such mess ?
[16:30] <chand> how to set rosulution through xrandr
[16:39] <theadmin> chand: xrandr -s 4096x2160
[16:39] <theadmin> Or whatever resolution you want.
[16:40] <chand> theadmin, size index 4096 is too large showing
[16:41] <theadmin> chand: Use a resolution your monitor supports then
[16:41] <chand> theadmin,  how to know it?
[16:41] <theadmin> chand: Err, well, just running "xrandr" should give you a list of all supported resolutions
[16:42] <theadmin> The largest one should be the one you want
[16:42] <erichf> So, compiz doesn't seem to play nice with unity. Is this correct?
[16:42] <theadmin> erichf: What... Unity uses Compiz
[16:43] <erichf> Ok
[16:43] <theadmin> And Unity can only run with Compiz, since it's actually a Compiz plugin
[16:43] <chand> theadmin, there is only one size showing 640*480 73.0
[16:43] <erichf> Everytime I use compiz settings manager my desktop foes haywire
[16:43] <erichf> goes*
[16:43] <erichf> I do see the ubuntu unity plugin
[16:44] <chand> theadmin, when i open any file file's frame size too large
[16:44] <chand> theadmin, how can i manage it?
[16:46] <theadmin> chand: Well, you need video drivers :/
[16:46] <chand> theadmin, i need to install or buy
[16:46] <chand> ?
[16:47] <theadmin> chand: Eh, you should be able to just install them. Nobody sells drivers, that would be rubbish. What kind of video card do you have?
[16:49] <Node_>  whoami
[16:49] <Node_> exit
[16:49] <Node_> quit

[16:50] <Nytram> Two weeks ago I migrated across to Kubuntu 14.10 from Mint 17.1 and have the distro more to my liking. Does anyone with experience of SSD's know if I can just copy Ubuntu from the mechanical HDD straight onto the SSD and set up trim etc after, or is it best to re-install from scratch? (I have a separate home partition)
[16:50] <octoid> Node_, "/cmd"
[16:51] <cfhowlett> Nytram, install from scratch
[16:51] <theadmin> Nytram: Clean install.
[16:51] <Nytram> I'll need to copy my home over to SSD foirst though.
[16:52] <Nytram> OK thanks for the replies, I suspectd that might be the answers
[16:53] <OerHeks> !trim
[16:53] <andybrine> Hi Everyone
[16:54] <compdoc> trim requires AHCI, so dont use old motherboards
[16:54] <andybrine> Does anyone know if there is an easy way to uninstall intel graphics drivers?
[16:55] <OerHeks> andybrine, as intel is good supported standard, how did you install intel drivers?
[16:56] <andybrine> I installed them by adding their install driver
[16:56] <andybrine> https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-installer-linux-1.0.7
[16:56] <andybrine> I think it has slowed my computer down emensly
[16:57] <cfhowlett> andybrine, possible but rather unlikely
[16:57] <cfhowlett> andybrine, glxgears wil test
[16:57] <cfhowlett> *will*
[16:57] <OerHeks> uh oh, does that installer come with an uninstaller?
[16:58] <andybrine> cfhowlett I really do think it has, I will test glx gears
[16:59] <andybrine> I have no idea why my computer is soo slow then
[16:59] <instigator> hello. in the /etc/network/interfaces file (where you configure static/dynamic IP addresses), I see inet static and inet manual. are they the same?
[16:59] <instigator> since when you configure a static IP you entering a manual address
[17:01] <andybrine> do you know if there is a simple way to uninstall my graphics drivers?
[17:02] <OerHeks> andybrine, i don't know what that package from that site does, nor if it comes with an uninstaller
[17:02] <cfhowlett> andybrine, apt-get purge intel-linux-graphics-installer      then apt-get autoremove should do it
[17:03] <OerHeks> maybe you can find uninstall info on their forum ? on that same page
[17:03] <andybrine> cfhowlett, ok thanks
[17:03] <andybrine> think I will test that
[17:03] <cfhowlett> andybrine, I just ran a simulation   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_remastering_software
[17:04] <cfhowlett> eek!  not that
[17:04] <cfhowlett> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9795943/

[17:14] <john_doe_jr> theadmin: Alright so from 6 a.m. till 9 p.m. every 15 minutes?
[17:15] <theadmin> john_doe_jr: To be more precise, it will execute at these exact times: 6:15, 9:15, 12:15, 15:15, 18:15
[17:15] <OerHeks> john_doe_jr, come on, read carefull
[17:15] <andybrine> cfhowlett, im back and not much has changed. Can you recommend ways to speed up ubuntu? Im currently using gnome 3.14
[17:15] <john_doe_jr> OerHeks: sorry…just don't get the /3 part
[17:16] <andybrine> that maybe one of the causes but I dont know.
[17:16] <cfhowlett> andybrine, test it; sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4          logout/choose one or the other/login
[17:16] <CosbySweater> As usual, my installation of ubuntu server hangs on grub-install
[17:16] <theadmin> john_doe_jr: Do you know how a for loop works? In the cron format, assume you have a-b/c, then in the format of a for loop it would be expressed as: for(i = a; i < b; i += c){ ... }
[17:17] <theadmin> Sort of like that...
[17:17] <theadmin> If that didn't make any sense, sorry about that.
[17:17] <CosbySweater> Either it installs grub to the wrong drive, or it doesn't install it at all..
[17:17] <john_doe_jr> theadmin: alright…so what is the 06-21/3 part?  ….I mean what is the "/3" part…I know that is from 6 a.m. till 9 p.m. but what is the /3?
[17:17] <theadmin> john_doe_jr: Every 3 hours, in this case
[17:17] <andybrine> cfhowlett, I didnt really want to use another version of ubuntu, I have 8gb of ram
[17:18] <andybrine> should be sufficient
[17:18] <john_doe_jr> theadmin: alright…got it …
[17:18] <john_doe_jr> theadmin: thank you
[17:18] <cfhowlett> andybrine, those will not give another version of ubuntu, just your choice of desktop environment.  lxde and xfce are both lighter than gnome
[17:19] <andybrine> yea, I personally love gnome as a desktop environment though
[17:19] <andybrine> :)
[17:19] <cfhowlett> andybrine, did you test glxgears?
[17:20] <andybrine> I did before I unistalled and it did look like it was working ok
[17:20] <andybrine> really quick tbh
[17:21] <CosbySweater> Anyone got a clue why liblzma.so.5 is missing from the ubuntu installer?
[17:21] <andybrine> may it be worth turning off some off the graphics? I know there are a lot of graphics running which could slow it down
[17:22] <cfhowlett> andybrine, eye candy will slow things down
[17:22] <shlomi> sudo apt-get install telepathy-sofiasip telepathy-butterfly telepathy-idle libtelepathy-farsight0 python-tpfarsight
[17:23] <andybrine> cfhowlett yea definitely
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> eye candy is something you can easily disable
[17:24] <andybrine> cfhowlett ubuntu 14.04 was really quick
[17:24] <andybrine> I had no problems with speed
[17:25] <cfhowlett> andybrine, I only do LTS ...
[17:25] <andybrine> cfhowlett I should have done that. I was just too tempted, lol
[17:26] <kingwill101> i just got a usb bluetooth dongle from a friend but i cant seem to get it to work any ideas how to fix this?
[17:28] <MonkeyDust> kingwill101  which bluetooth dongle and on which ubuntu version?
[17:31] <kingwill101> MonkeyDust: i dont see a branding, but lsb shows "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
[17:31] <kingwill101> "
[17:32] <arshia> I installed Code::Blocks on my ubuntu , but it cannot detect the GCC compiler. i installed the g++ and gcc before.
[17:32] <kingwill101> MonkeyDust: actually on mint but i think the problem might be generic
[17:35] <arshia> Can anyone tell me why the code::blocks cannot detect the g++ or gcc compiler ?????!!!!!!
[17:35] <cfhowlett> !patience | arshia,
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> kingwill101  mint is not supported here
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> kingwill101  better go to a mint support channel
[17:40] <daftykins> !mint
[17:49] <ki7rw> i don't know if it's an issue with my brand new SSD but i'm having random mouse freezes since installing the SSD
[17:49] <mcphail> ki7rw: anything in the logs?
[17:49] <ki7rw> maybe a bad install of ubunutu 14.04.1 (64 bit)?
[17:50] <sudormrf> ok. so if I disable X from starting at startup in ubuntu 14.04, install Gnome 3 then run startx, how can I default it to starting as gnome classic instead of standard gnome 3? :D
[17:50] <ki7rw> mcphail, i guess i show take a look at the logs
[17:50] <bynarie> hey guys, anyone have a clue what the message "usb 3-11 string descriptor 0 malformed (err = -61)" while booting
[17:51] <mcphail> ki7rw: if the drive is faulty something should show up. SATA errors can cause mouse lag
[17:52] <caraconan> Hi there. Hitting this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-apc/+bug/1006993. How can I force package removal? Thanks
[17:53] <daftykins> bynarie: sounds like that USB device is a little sick
[17:53] <daftykins> caraconan: er, you're not dealing with 12.10 are you?
[17:53] <caraconan> yes, because upgrading to upper dist
[17:53] <sudormrf> because when I do startx, it doesn't show me the greeter to select the DE, logging out drops me back to the console.  this is the behavior I want, but I want to set the default DE to gnome classic.  suggestions? :D
[17:54] <daftykins> caraconan: so you were on 12.04?
[17:54] <sudormrf> may have just found the answer
[17:54] <bynarie> daftykins, no usb device is plugged in
[17:54] <daftykins> bynarie: is it a laptop?
[17:54] <bynarie> yea
[17:54] <bynarie> daftykins,
[17:54] <bynarie> and im on 14.10
[17:54] <daftykins> bynarie: lots of internal devices are USB attached, it's not just the ports on the outside.
[17:54] <caraconan> I was in 12.10
[17:55] <m3kk> hello everyone
[17:55] <caraconan> Anyway, how to get rid of this package?
[17:55] <daftykins> caraconan: backup and clean install would be best then if you really can't get around minor issues, 12.10 died ages ago.
[17:55] <bynarie> daftykins, ok that sounds reasonable.. do you have any further suggestions for me?
[17:55] <sudormrf> nm, didn't work.
[17:55] <ki7rw> mcphail, smart doesn't show any errors andd i'll have to manually check the logs with an editor since webmin 1.730 doesn't work right (can't view logs with webmin)
[17:56] <alexstrand7-0> Do someone know about how to use mtp on Sony Xperia Z1 compact on ubuntu 14.10, when I connect the cable nothing happens.
[17:56] <caraconan> daftykins: I would like to give it a try. Anyway the problem is to get rid of this package at the moment
[17:56] <daftykins> sudormrf: you're not supposed to use startx and shouldn't for a long time now
[17:56] <daftykins> bynarie: nope not without knowing what the device is, looked at 'lsusb' ?
[17:57] <mcphail> ki7rw: anything in dmesg?
[17:57] <caraconan> http://paste.debian.net/141430/
[17:57] <sudormrf> daftykins, I removed the DE from starting at statup.  this is the behavior I am looking for.  are you saying I should use something other than startx to start the DE?
[17:57] <sudormrf> broski44t, no PMs.  also, stop trying to flame people.
[17:57] <daftykins> sudormrf: correct. i'm pleased you got that from "you're not supposed to use startx" :)
[17:57] <sudormrf> daftykins, so what is the correct way to start the DE?
[17:58] <daftykins> sudo service lightdm start
[17:58] <bynarie> someone ban broski44t
[17:58] <sudormrf> ^
[17:58] <daftykins> bynarie: if you're getting PMs of spam or similar, report it in #ubuntu-ops please
[17:58] <bynarie> ok
[17:58] <bynarie> thanks
[17:58] <sudormrf> daftykins, unrecognized service
[17:59] <bubbasaures> daftykins, ops yelled at me for saying the same thing.
[17:59] <daftykins> maybe if it's a gnome setup it doesn't use lightdm, but gdm or similar
[17:59] <ki7rw> mcphail, http://pastebin.com/63dqG9pv
[17:59] <daftykins> bubbasaures: forwarding people to their channel? :O
[17:59] <sudormrf> daftykins, the behavior there is different.  sudo service gdm start drops me to the gnome login screen.
[18:00] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Yeah, seemed strange it was a user on the channel like this one is, oh well though.
[18:01] <daftykins> sudormrf: i reckon whatever you did to stop lightdm starting as default somehow removed it from being a service, you should've reconfigured it with auto login / default session of gnome, not messed around like this perhaps.
[18:01] <daftykins> nevermind though, i'm not really into peeps hacking around with their setups to achieve weird things :P
[18:03] <wonderworld> finaly
[18:03] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, if your at the login screen you can choose the any de you've installed.

[18:04] <NeedSomeHelp> Help, I am trying to install the newest Ubuntu on a brand new PC through USB. Within a minute, it stops and I am met with a black screen "drm_kms_helper: panic occured, switching back to text console". I have tried both using Universal USB Installer and unetbootin to create the Ubuntu boot USB. I have tried two different USB sticks and I have tried two different USB slots. Have tried both Ubuntu
[18:04] <NeedSomeHelp> 14.04.1 and Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.1. Always the same. What to do?
[18:04] <bubbasaures> heh
[18:04] <bynarie> thanks
[18:06] <bubbasaures> NeedSomeHelp, Have you checked the sum of the download or any usb loads?
[18:06] <NeedSomeHelp> bubbasaures: no, where do I check that? there were no errors when downloading or installing to usb
[18:06] <bubbasaures> !md5sum | NeedSomeHelp
[18:06] <bynarie> NeedSomeHelp, checksum or sha hash i think is what he ,eans
[18:07] <bynarie> means*
[18:07] <mcphail> ki7rw: nothing in that to say there has been aproblem with the drive. No SATA errors noted?
[18:07] <ki7rw> nope
[18:07] <bubbasaures> bynarie, No need to translate. ;)
[18:07] <NeedSomeHelp> sha hash, not md5sum ?
[18:07] <bynarie> sorry jus tryin to help
[18:08] <sudormrf> daftykins, so are you saying that there is a way to have it only start to the console then if I run a command it will autolog me in to the gnome-classic session?
[18:08] <bubbasaures> NeedSomeHelp, YOur choice just be checking it.
[18:08] <A124> What is the current kernel version on 14.10?
[18:08] <mcphail> ki7rw: I think it is unlikely to be a failing drive, then. My dmesg gets spammed if a failing drive is causing problems
[18:08] <EriC^> !info linux-image-generic utopic | A124
[18:08] <bubbasaures> A124, 3.16.o-29
[18:08] <bubbasaures> 0*
[18:08] <ki7rw> ok. i'll try a fresh re-install of 14.04 then
[18:08] <bynarie> bubbasaures, call ops on byrne32 - its the same guy as broski44t
[18:08] <A124> EriC^, bubbasaures: Thanky ou both!
[18:09] <ki7rw> (when i get back home later)
[18:09] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, don't want to choose :D.  the goal would be like this startx (or equivalent) -> autologs me in to gnome-classic since I am already logged in to the console
[18:09] <bubbasaures> bynarie, Not my issue I have pm off,
[18:09] <A124> !info linux-image-generic vivid
[18:09] <bynarie> hm.. stupid ? but how do i turn PM off?
[18:09] <EriC^> sudormrf: i'm not sure what you were talking about with daftykins , but if you want to boot into text mode, you can add "text" to your kernel line in /etc/default/grub
[18:10] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, I know your goal and agree with daftykins on tweaking you're on your own, figure it out.
[18:10] <bynarie> nevermind
[18:10] <A124> What will Ubuntu do when it runs out of alphabet? :P
[18:10] <bubbasaures> bynarie, Probably possible in your irc client.
[18:10] <EriC^> sudormrf: you will have to manually start lightdm if you want a gui afterwards
[18:11] <alexstrand7-0> anyone that knows about how to connect to and use MTP Sony Xperia Z1 compact with Ubuntu 14.10?
[18:11] <bynarie> im sure he has a few more IP addresses
[18:11] <k1l> bynarie: if no ops reads it in here you can report in the ops channel #ubuntu-ops
[18:11] <bynarie> ok thanks k1l
[18:12] <bubbasaures> A124, Might be better answered in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:12] <A124> bubbasaures: Thanks. I find it relevant though, as scripts might rely on that behaviour.
[18:13] <maps> Hello. been trying to install ubuntu server for over a month now to no avail… installation seems to be problem-free, but after rebooting at the end of installation, all I get is a black screen ('mode not supported')… can anyone help me with this?
[18:13] <bubbasaures> sudormrf, If I can nicely say, this really is a ubuntu support channel, not your on call manual for every whim.
[18:13] <mcphail> maps: try adding "nomodeset" to the boot parameters
[18:14] <NeedSomeHelp> How do I know what the md5 checksum is supposed to be from the ubuntu download?
[18:14] <bubbasaures> NeedSomeHelp, read the link
[18:14] <NeedSomeHelp> I must compare the downloaded checksum with something
[18:14] <teward> NeedSomeHelp: the MD5 sums are available on the system, if you read the link it explains it
[18:14] <EriC^> NeedSomeHelp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[18:14] <teward> NeedSomeHelp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes is very useful
[18:14] <teward> EriC^: ninja'd!  *glares*
[18:14] <EriC^> :D
[18:16] <sudormrf> bubbasaures, this is a question related to ubuntu configuration.  hence the reason I am in here.  I hear what you are saying though.
[18:16] <sudormrf> EriC^, that is what I did.
[18:17] <NeedSomeHelp> Ok, checksums are the same for. Tested both isos. Any other suggestion?
[18:18] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: what is the computer in question?
[18:19] <NeedSomeHelp> daftykins: a brand new Asus VivoPC
[18:20] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: can you link a webpage for that?

[18:24] <antiPoP> Hi, I have set security autoupdates in ubuntu 12.04 as described in the docs. Seems ubuntu is upgrading soem packages automatically, but whne I log in I read "9 updates are security updates." . What is going wrong?
[18:25] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: can you enter a BIOS screen to read what version BIOS it currently has on?
[18:25] <teward> antiPoP: cron job not run, perhaps, or held back because they can break other functionality?  (kernels and such are like that)
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> antiPoP  nothing, simply install the updates
[18:25] <antiPoP> yes, but why they don't do automatically others, update properly... and thsi is a production server I need to have updated
[18:25] <NeedSomeHelp> daftykins: sure, 1 minute
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> antiPoP  there's also #ubuntu-server
[18:26] <EriC^> antiPoP: did you use upgrade or dist-upgrade ?
[18:26] <antiPoP> well, I just set up autoupdates
[18:27] <antiPoP> and works for some security packages, but for others not
[18:27] <teward> antiPoP: how did you set it up
[18:27] <teward> antiPoP: and which packages weren't installed
[18:27] <antiPoP> let me paste
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> antiPoP  use a pastebin

[18:31] <daftykins> The: yes for network questions go ask them
[18:31] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: ok three thoughts then, the first is to try the nomodeset boot parameter... the second is to update the BIOS to latest whilst you have windows on there... and the third is to try installing ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS from mini.iso via a network install, which will require being plugged into your router with a network cable most likely
[18:31] <bubbasaures> The, /j #freenode

[18:44] <juddus> you decompressed the tar?
[18:44] <Nectar_> yeah
[18:44] <Nach0z> Nectar_: more than likely you're gonna have three steps: 1. unzip the file (tar -zxvf <filename.tar.gz here>), 2. configure it (usually just ./configure inside the decompressed directory), and 3. make && make install
[18:45] <cuddylier> Does anyone know why my server box crashes with a kernel panic whenever my raid array finishes syncing after a reboot? http://i.spartanhost.net/s-18-44-59.png

[18:45] <tomshreds> Hi, I use Amazon SQS and I'd need to Mail::later() messages in the future (i.e. in 2 weeks) and whenever I try to pass such a length I get: "Value 1295999 for parameter DelaySeconds is invalid. Reason: DelaySeconds must be >= 0 and <= 900." So I guess we cannot do that after all. Code: https://gist.github.com/tbergeron/4ce4b8bbb118f1330245
[18:46] <Nectar_> bubbasaures: i just have the problem with the terminal part. So i thought i would come here.
[18:46] <Nectar_> thanks for the link
[18:46] <bubbasaures> Nectar_, Might be stuff in the repos for this, so be aware this is ubuntu support, there is ##linux if you're registered.

[18:48] <Aleksa> check 5:59
[18:49] <Aleksa> See whose logo is in left corner ;)
[18:49] <bubbasaures> Aleksa, no spamming please
[18:49] <Aleksa> bubbasaures, It's Ubuntu's logo. Japanese robo scientists are using the same distro as I do - Ubuntu!
[18:50] <bubbasaures> Aleksa, cool, just not an support issue.
[18:50] <Aleksa> I know, sorry, but I was really excited
[18:50] <bubbasaures> it happens
[18:50] <daftykins> Aleksa: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks
[18:50] <Aleksa> I didn't no there such a channel
[18:50] <Aleksa> ok
[18:52] <NeedSomeHelp> How do I enable nomodeset before installing ubuntu? I tried to edit the command from the grub menu and type it there, then hit f10, but that just gave an error 'command nomodeset not found'
[18:53] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: as per the link, you add it after where it says "splash quiet" on the kernel boot line
[18:55] <NeedSomeHelp> daftykins: that link is dated. F.ex you see the photos are no longer there in the link. There is no screen where it says splash quiet, I dont see a kernel boot line. I only have a grub menu with 4 items.
[18:56] <daftykins> white text on black background?
[18:56] <daftykins> NeedSomeHelp: you press 'e' to edit the top entry, 'try'
[18:57] <NeedSomeHelp> thats what I did. There I get an editor. And then? just putting nomodeset on a line, will yield a command not found error

[19:06] <jbrun> pbx: (this is for the LPMT installing) :)
[19:07] <daftykins> avid_fan: user reports "drm_kms_helper: panic occured, switching back to text console" on boot, nomodeset is one of my three ideas.
[19:07] <daftykins> (all shared at once for maximum confu... er assistance)
[19:08] <daftykins> i suggested nomodeset, BIOS update and mini.iso install
[19:09] <tryingtothink> Anyone available to help a recent installation?
[19:09] <daftykins> plenty of volunteers active. ask.
[19:09] <daftykins> !details
[19:09] <avid_fan> daftykins: Gotcha.
[19:10] <tryingtothink> I went through the installation process, but when I select the drive I'm pretty sure I installed Ubuntu to through the Bios, it waits for a bit, then starts up windows from my other disk
[19:10] <jbrun> pbx: do you understand it?
[19:10] <tryingtothink> also, I ended up formatting my entire 1TB HDD in the process
[19:10] <daftykins> tryingtothink: desktop/laptop?
[19:10] <tryingtothink> desktop
[19:11] <daftykins> tryingtothink: what are you typing from right now?
[19:11] <tryingtothink> I can see in disk tools that the HDD has a 99GB-ish partition
[19:11] <daftykins> tryingtothink: i don't know your disks, so formating the entire 1TB could either be good or bad :D
[19:11] <tryingtothink> I'm on my PC, running Windows 7
[19:11] <tryingtothink> that was a very bad thing
[19:11] <jbrun> anybody can help on this? http://pastebin.com/4Qkzkz7K
[19:11] <EriC^^> tryingtothink: did you press reinstall ubuntu in the installer?
[19:11] <tryingtothink> well, not super bad, I think I can get almost everything back
[19:12] <tryingtothink> nope
[19:12] <tryingtothink> I didn't even see that option
[19:12] <EriC^^> tryingtothink: ok, good, dont do that
[19:12] <tryingtothink> I installed through my USB
[19:12] <EriC^^> tryingtothink: ok, boot the live usb
[19:13] <EriC^^> try ubuntu then come back on here
[19:13] <tryingtothink> I booted from the USB the first time, I went through the entire process, tried to boot from the HDD I installed it on, and windows opened up
[19:13] <daftykins> tryingtothink: follow EriC^^ and i'm sure you'll be all set soon enough :>
[19:14] <tryingtothink> restarted, booted from the USB drive, and it wanted to start over the entire installation process
[19:14] <daftykins> you need to run 'try' as you were just instructed
[19:14] <tryingtothink> alright
[19:14] <tryingtothink> I'll be back in 10-ish
[19:14] <EriC^^> ok
[19:15] <jbrun> pbx: any idea?
[19:16] <sheer> I'm looking for something like workflowy but offline/syncing to google drive. anyone knows?
[19:16] <pbx> jbrun, no, i was just advising you how to get the best help from the channel
[19:17] <bubbasaures> sheer, Offline syn?
[19:17] <bubbasaures> sync*
[19:17] <sheer> sync
[19:17] <jbrun> pbx: thanks! so nobody can help me on this? It's quite important and I'm so stuck. I've looke all the forums and eles I could find. http://pastebin.com/4Qkzkz7K
[19:17] <sheer> as in
[19:17] <sheer> synchronizing?
[19:17] <bubbasaures> sheer, was a question what do you mean
[19:18] <sheer> mainly offline
[19:18] <BluesKaj_> sheer, offline sync doesn't seem possible
[19:18] <sheer> but with an option to sync when i have internet
[19:18] <bubbasaures> sheer, you tell us when you getter done.
[19:18] <ArtisanGolder> would it be possible to and is there a guide for installing where all the data would be in an encrypted container instead of encrypting the whole drive, and also have the boot partition on a usb?
[19:21] <bubbasaures> sheer, basic instructions, https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2374992?hl=en
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> ArtisanGolder  your question is hard to read
[19:21] <sheer> bubbasaures, i was asking for a software that works like workflowy does
[19:22] <sheer> after i know of one, then i can back thigns up to g drive
[19:22] <bubbasaures> sheer, that was your first mistake, how do we know what that is.
[19:22] <BluesKaj_> ArtisanGolder, so you mean an encrypted ~/home?
[19:22] <BluesKaj_> ArtisanGolder, ~/home partition
[19:23] <bubbasaures> sheer, Some would have to look on the web, just like you can. ;)
[19:23] <cxm> hi... I am having some server problems with mail spam.. I think I am hacked
[19:24] <NoobsFlyVFR> I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server Edition.
[19:24] <NoobsFlyVFR> How do I install ldm on it?
[19:24] <NoobsFlyVFR> When I try to use sudo apt-get ldm, it also wants to download unity, and unity related components.
[19:24] <NoobsFlyVFR> I already have i3 installed and want to use it instead.
[19:24] <bubbasaures> cxm, Than relaod the backup image and change what is needed.
[19:24] <cxm> huh?
[19:24] <cxm> nothat is not it
[19:26] <bubbasaures> cxm, getting spam is not a hack necessarily, if hacked you would fix it if you know how, or replace with a good image.
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> NoobsFlyVFR  if you don't get an answer here, try in #ubuntu-server
[19:27] <avid_fan> cxm: Agree with bubbasaures, that spam != hacked.
[19:27] <FrailRabbit> Instead of doing the normal encrypt from the installer options I'm wondering if I can create a file container and encrypt that instead? Like a virtual drive for all of the actual data and then have the unencrypted boot partition on a usb?
[19:28] <NoobsFlyVFR> Thanks, MonkeyDust.
[19:28] <peter8983> how to install apache from internet using the terminal on ubuntu 6.10?
[19:28] <EriC^^> 6.10
[19:28] <EriC^^> ?
[19:28] <peter8983> old laptop
[19:28] <cxm> that's what I mean i dont' think I am hacked
[19:28] <cxm> but how do I stop this mail bombardment
[19:29] <bubbasaures> peter8983, you have to run supported releases for help.
[19:29] <avid_fan> cxm: If you're running the mail server, then stop the mail service.
[19:29] <cxm> i can do that but how to I further fix things
[19:29] <cxm> i have many emails tied to my services
[19:29] <peter8983> what is the usual command for this?
[19:29] <avid_fan> cxm: Then double-check all the mail server's settings so as to only allow legitimate mail. And probably purge the mail queue.
[19:30] <daftykins> peter8983: we don't support old releases.
[19:30] <netcrash> Hello, any idea on how to convert a ac3 audio from a video file to acc keeping the video ?
[19:30] <peter8983> i thought the commands works for all versions
[19:30] <daftykins> peter8983: the repos will be gone
[19:30] <theadmin> peter8983: You would use APT. But the repositories for old versions are taken down.
[19:30] <theadmin> peter8983: So it wouldn't work.
[19:31] <peter8983> ok
[19:31] <peter8983> so i can't install apache on ubuntu 6.10?
[19:31] <BluesKaj_> peter8983, what are your alptop specs, perhaps an ewer ubuntu with a lighter desktop will work for you
[19:32] <EriC^^> peter8983: you might be able to download it if you put old-releases instead of archive in your sources file
[19:32] <EriC^^> peter8983: have you tried switching those?
[19:32] <avid_fan> netcrash: I know it's vague, but I'd suggest looking into ffmpeg.
[19:32] <peter8983> newer version doesn't work well
[19:32] <peter8983> i think the bios is the problem
[19:33] <bubbasaures> oh my support for a setup with more whole than swiss cheese
[19:33] <daftykins> bubbasaures: :D
[19:33] <EriC^^> peter8983: it's the old version
[19:34] <bubbasaures> peter8983, Try a supported version, that is really just not safe, and no one here should be supporting.
[19:34] <cxm> Jan 20 14:32:19 linux-vm-set postfix/error[17742]: D939139B33: to=<the_lover_boy@rocketmail.com>, relay=none, delay=52005, delays=52003/1.8/0/0.17, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[66.196.118.37] while sending RCPT TO)
[19:34] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: speak for yourself
[19:35] <david_> i know it a long shot but somthings guaat be dun there must b a programer out there the can help r has ideas how to stop this dog knaping thats going on ether a chip that sounds alarm wen the dog is out the garden i know it for linux users n problems but some one must be  working on it
[19:35] <bubbasaures> EriC^^, read the channel rules, no support in this.
[19:35] <cxm> avid fan are you familiar with postfix
[19:35] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: it's not supported as in no new software will be released, bugs wont be taken care of, etc. not support here
[19:36] <bubbasaures> EriC^^, YOU also have a personal responsibility to actually help not hurt.
[19:36] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: YOU need to think about what you're saying
[19:36] <bubbasaures> lol
[19:36] <daftykins> EriC^^: i think it is a fair point, when we give people false hope we lead them to keep using the bad software and not follow best practices.
[19:37] <FrailRabbit> Instead of doing the normal encrypt from the installer options I'm wondering if I can create a file container and encrypt that instead? Like a virtual drive for all of the actual data and then have the unencrypted boot partition on a usb?
[19:37] <avid_fan> cxm: Not especially, no.
[19:38] <daftykins> FrailRabbit: your idea of 'file container' could just be any partition encrypted with ecryptfs, i'm sure if you read up on it you can do that easy.
[19:38] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: daftykins what if that guy can't afford a new laptop?
[19:38] <cxm> ok i stopped the mailservice sudo postfix stop
[19:38] <cxm> lol easy enough... now how do I figure out what the hell is going on
[19:38] <tryingtothink> well, it loads now
[19:38] <daftykins> EriC^^: well if we got told the spec, we'd probably find out standard ubuntu was being tried and not a more suited derivative that'd be lighter
[19:38] <bubbasaures> EriC^^, I'm a big fan of our help, you are an experienced user, but you have to have limitations is all.
[19:39] <tryingtothink> I really wish I'd tried that the first time
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> FrailRabbit  you could create a "virtual file system", 25GB max
[19:39] <tryingtothink> because the first time it didn't give me the option to install alongside Win7, and didn't even detect an OS
[19:39] <netcrash> avid_fan: ok
[19:39] <tryingtothink> and 688GB got formatted
[19:39] <avid_fan> cxm: What I know of postfix is that there are at least a few config files. Double-check those files. Make sure not an open relay, and are accepting mail for only the domains you manage.
[19:40] <daftykins> tryingtothink: sounds like a EFI vs legacy boot issue
[19:40] <cxm> i need to figure that last part out of what you said.
[19:40] <FrailRabbit> why is 25 the max if I may ask?
[19:40] <tryingtothink> I wouldn't know the difference
[19:40] <cxm> i will look.  well at least now my servers aren'
[19:40] <cxm> aren't crashing...
[19:41] <tryingtothink> this is my first experience with any flavor of linux
[19:41] <tryingtothink> literally weeks of downloading to get all that information back
[19:41] <tryingtothink> welp
[19:41] <avid_fan> cxm: I do know it's very easy to miss something and allow unwanted mail to come into and through a mail server.
[19:41] <tryingtothink> at least now I can play KSP 64-bit
[19:41] <daftykins> tryingtothink: well, it would have been pretty clear on screen... but what's done is done.
[19:41] <bubbasaures> tryingtothink, Pastebin sudo parted -l
[19:42] <jaco> hi folks
[19:42] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: i understand that using old versions aren't supported, but sometimes the person might not have a choice, and he might be able to get it to work, and we dont know if he needs it for something meaningful, so i thought he should know it's possible
[19:42] <bubbasaures> EriC^^, That is a strawman arguement
[19:42] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: i dont follow
[19:42] <Nectar_>  What do i have to do to the tar.gz file in order to install it?
[19:42] <tryingtothink> the first time I loaded it, it gave me a screen that probably would've made sense to someone experienced in Linux, but I would've had an easier time understanding it if it was written in Arabic
[19:42] <bubbasaures> no proof but your imagination
[19:42] <Mr_Citron> hi everyone !
[19:43] <avid_fan> Nectar_: "tar.gz" is a compressed archive, not a package
[19:43] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: well he is using an old laptop and wants an apache server, so he might be using it for something at home
[19:43] <tryingtothink> (I can't read Arabic)
[19:44] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: anyways it wont harm if he knows he can get it to work, but it's better to use a newer version
[19:44] <bubbasaures> EriC^^, "<EriC^^> bubbasaures: it's not supported as in no new software will be released, bugs wont be taken care of, etc. "not support here" your rhetoric, do what you want off the channel, not supported here.
[19:45] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: you dont get it, it is supported here
[19:45] <gr33n7007h> shit, whats with all this bitching!
[19:45] <EriC^^> i dont know
[19:45] <EriC^^> it is supported here
[19:45] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: go asks in #ubuntu-ops
[19:45] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: Please don't help people install apache or any other normally intenet facing services on insecure distros here. If you want to help them on your own in ##linux or elsewhere that's your decision, but I would say that you should still only do that (if ever) after you *know* that they aren't going to put it online for the world to use as a spambot. In cases like this, it's usually *much* better for them to have a ...
[19:45] <Jordan_U> ... "non working" system than a completely insecure system facing the internet.
[19:45] <bubbasaures> people whom can't admit when wrong is why
[19:47] <david_> more n more pl trn to linux cos of windows 8 but the plp that do  u just gotta get used to a dif way of doing things some things no av in app center but stick with it  anything better than windows i used unbuntu gnome for years now  got help from the net r heare its not a hard thing  to get ansers most the time copy n paste in term dun
[19:47] <Andy80> hi
[19:48] <bubbasaures> david_, rephrase clearly with full words please.
[19:48] <david_> na
[19:48] <david_> lol
[19:48] <MonkeyDust> david_  hss yr rght bt yr txt s hrd 2 rd
[19:48] <david_> u get me point
[19:48] <daftykins> david_: soap box comments are welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic but not here, support only please.
[19:48] <MonkeyDust> !leet | david_
[19:49]  * bprompt has vowels for sale, $0.99 for the bundle of 50
[19:49] <Andy80> I've installed 3 new fonts (I've updated the font cache etc....), both Fonts Viewer and LibreOffice can see them, so... fine... BUT... Gnome Terminal can't see them at all (yes, I've tried restarting etc...). What could be wrong? p.s:the funny thing is that I've done the same on office PC (same Ubuntu14.04) and everything worked :(
[19:49] <bubbasaures> david_, Oh yes I do, off your meds eh. ;)
[19:49] <Jordan_U> david_: This channel requires that you use clear, fully spelled out, English to the best of your ability.
[19:49] <Jordan_U> bubbasaures: Please don't insult users in this channel. That was inappropriate.
[19:49] <david_> ok  ill try
[19:49] <bubbasaures> Jordan_U, Yes, sory.
[19:49] <cxm> i have a question
[19:49] <cxm> what is the problem
[19:50] <cxm> is it that there is mail being sent to me or mail being sent from my server?
[19:50] <daftykins> cxm: your query would be more relevant for #ubuntu-server really
[19:53] <david_> im trying to get me phone conecterd to me laptop thro rooter to unbuntu gnome do i need me rooter ip r laptop ip wifi
[19:57] <daftykins> david_: is the router not wireless?
[19:57] <david_> iv tryd but me phone says must be a block
[19:57] <david_> android
[19:57] <daftykins> david_: then this is a ##networking problem nothing to do with ubuntu
[19:58] <david_> ant idea how to fix it
[19:58] <daftykins> david_: join ##networking - this isn't an ubuntu issue, ask them for help with your router
[19:58] <jbrun> Somebody know how to get over the Wunused in a make process?
[19:59] <david_> am i miss something  lk a setting r some thing me phne finds unbuntu but will not connect to it
[20:00] <avid_fan> cxm: Hard to tell from that log excerpt. If you're the_lover_boy@rocketmail.com then it looks like the server is trying to send mail to you. If you're not, then it's trying to send mail to someone else.
[20:01] <avid_fan> cxm: How it got into the mail server's queue, is another matter altogether.
[20:04] <david_> iv trd the rooter ip ceeps saying carnt connet been throu wat i know but still will not
[20:04] <jbrun> Somebody know how to get over the Wunused in a make process?
[20:04] <Nectar_>  im tryingto install something, but terminal gives back "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error". What is this all about?
[20:05] <david_> do i need a sever lk xbmc installsld
[20:05] <Jordan_U> Nectar_: Sounds like you're trying to execute a 64 bit binary on a 32 bit Ubuntu installation.
[20:05] <david_> r u share?
[20:06] <Nytram> Nectar_ A quick google threw up lods of results
[20:06] <Nytram> *loads
[20:06] <daftykins> david_: sorry your english is too atrocious. i've already told you where to go for your issue, XBMC has nothing to do with connecting an android phone to a wireless router.
[20:06] <Jordan_U> david_: Please spell out all of your words completely. The next message you send with missing letters will result in your removal from the channel.
[20:08] <david_> gess sorry for not buting it word for word dont matter  ill find help  els where
[20:08] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[20:08] <avid_fan> lol
[20:09] <Nytram> I guess he's typing that on his android.
[20:11] <theadmin> Nytram: Nah, Android has decent autocorrect.
[20:12] <Nytram> heheh OK
[20:13] <cxm> i changed a bunch of settings but I think it is to no effec

[20:14] <kangman> hi I have a UFW question with docker
[20:14] <bubbasaures> kangman, same as yesterday?
[20:14] <avid_fan> cxm: Did you purge the mail server's queue?
[20:15] <bubbasaures> if so no details were really given
[20:15] <kangman> @bubbasaures first time here
[20:15] <bubbasaures> cool, just wondered
[20:15] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: bubbasaures i agree with what you're saying, i thought that old releases still got the security vulnerabilities patched ( such as shell shock ), anyways i am just against this "we know what's best for you so we wont help you" attitude, if somebody joins and trusts this channel asking if he can force mount a hibernated drive, and you tell him "no, it's not possible" and he in fact can and might need to, i think that's pretty ... i dont know ill let you
[20:15] <EriC^^>  think about it yourself.
[20:16] <bubbasaures> that is a whole lotta projection
[20:16] <EriC^^> bubbasaures: please spare me the psychology long term memory bla bla bs
[20:18] <cxm> i am working on that now
[20:18] <cxm> purging the que
[20:18] <cxm> hopefully this does it
[20:19] <theadmin> EriC^^: Well, as much as I don't like to say it, this channel has pretty strict rules about things. You are free to help people on old releases or unsupported derivatives yourself -- just send them a private message.
[20:19] <cxm> wow - deleted 71917 messages. and that is only on 1 server
[20:20] <throwthecheese> I want to install an Ubuntu-based OS in Windows. How do I do that?
[20:20] <avid_fan> cxm: Yikes.
[20:20] <neopsyche> Yikes
[20:20] <bekks> throwthecheese: There is no such thing.
[20:20] <theadmin> throwthecheese: http://virtualbox.org
[20:21] <neopsyche> Thank God my christmas present was not a virtual box :-D
[20:21] <EriC^^> !cookie | theadmin
[20:21] <throwthecheese> It's bothersome. I'd like to create a native, bootable installation without tampering with the partitions
[20:21] <cxm> ok i purged them but they are coming back like cock roaches... i keep getting these coming in 3E6073043B      940 Fri Jan 16 19:24:34  jo_montgomery@draftsparkcity.com (delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[66.196.118.240] while sending RCPT TO)                                          hadeed@yahoo.com
[20:22] <theadmin> throwthecheese: WUBI still exists, but it will give you much more trouble than it's worth most of the time.
[20:22] <bubbasaures> theadmin, Thanks for reiterating what was the same thing said all along, but just not realized. ;)
[20:22] <cxm> ahhhh ok... i think my site is hacked
[20:22] <cxm> correct me if I am wrong but draftspark city <<<one of my sites... is trying to send out that email
[20:23] <cxm> to hadeed@yahoo
[20:23] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: Do not use Wubi.
[20:23] <throwthecheese> Then?
[20:23] <avid_fan> throwthecheese: Live USB stick?
[20:23] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: Why don't you want to repartition?
[20:24] <Fun> anyone here used t61?
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> !find t61
[20:25] <throwthecheese> I don't want to mess up the partitions on a random stranger's computer
[20:25] <EriC^^> throwthecheese: ?
[20:25] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: Why are you installing another OS on a random stranger's computer?
[20:25] <throwthecheese> I want to introduce somebody to Linux
[20:25] <avid_fan> cxm: It's still difficult to tell from the small excerpt. Can you try the following? "tail -n 200 /var/log/mail.log | nc termbin.com 9999"
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> throwthecheese  then use a live session, no need to install anything
[20:26] <imdea> One question, I do have a user and want to copy some files to a certain directory (/var/www/test) and that folder has permissions 775 where the group is the same than my user, but when I try to copy the files like this: cp -aR $HOME/test /var/www/test I get this error: cp: preserving times for /var/www/test/myfile: Operation not permitted  any ideas? Everything is mounted in the same partition.
[20:26] <netlar> I want to install Windows on Ubuntu, but do not want to use Virtual box
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> netlar  qemu
[20:26] <theadmin> netlar: There are alternatives but Virtualbox is really your best bet
[20:27] <throwthecheese> I don't want to buy another USB
[20:27] <avid_fan> throwthecheese: Live CD?
[20:27] <netlar> qemu is not better?
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> throwthecheese  what *do* you want, then
[20:27] <throwthecheese> The computer said does not have an optical drive
[20:28] <avid_fan> throwthecheese: Then you're options are limited, at best.
[20:28] <MonkeyDust> throwthecheese  start from the beginning, what brings you here... in one line
[20:30] <levo2>  i have installed dual ubuntu and win7 (ubuntu over win7 using usb stick) and now the system doesn't boot up on usb anymore
[20:31] <throwthecheese> I want to introduce Linux to somebody, but sadly, all of my usable Live medias are for 64-bit computers and I won't format my 64-bit Zorin OS Live USB as I made it for somebody who has a 64-bit computer (for the same purpose)
[20:31] <throwthecheese> So I need a native installation method
[20:31] <Fun> for 2 GB ram is it better to instal ubuntu or lubuntu?
[20:31] <Fun> laptop
[20:31] <kangman> @bubbasaures got a jenkins container running with ubuntu running docker 1.3.3 underlying host.  I'd like to access the jenkins web UI from specific IP ranges.  I use UFW to set the rules e.g. sudo ufw allow from ip.range.of/host.  When this is done I cannot access the Jenkins webpage until I change /etc/defaults/ufw forwarding policy to "ACCEPT"  but that seems to allow from any source IP.
[20:31] <theadmin> Fun: Either will be fine, that's plenty really.
[20:32] <daftykins> throwthecheese: you ought to look into YUMI, multiple ISOs on one flash drive
[20:32] <bubbasaures> kangman, Nothing I know is all.
[20:32] <bekks> throwthecheese: I read that as "I have a 32bit computer with no optical drive and I want to test Ubuntu." - correct?
[20:32] <daftykins> or cunning GRUB tactics where you also load multiple ISOs off one drive
[20:32] <Hedgework> Fun: I'd hesitate to run vanilla ubuntu with 2GB RAM, as Unity is pretty bloated.  However, I'm not sure my usage patterns are typical.  I'd prefer xubuntu or lubuntu on such a machine (or setting up my wm of choice)
[20:32] <Fun> theadmin: ok if I want to create live ubuntu usb to try it and then if fine install how do I do it?
[20:32] <throwthecheese> That somebody had the 32-bit one
[20:32] <throwthecheese> *has
[20:33] <Fun> Hedgework: I simply want to open www pages and watch youtube
[20:33] <bekks> Hedgework: "vanilla ubuntu" is "Ubuntu with Unity".
[20:33] <Fun> maybe replace unity with gnome?
[20:33] <Fun> less load?
[20:33] <bekks> Or just use lubuntu or xubuntu. :)
[20:33] <EriC^^> Fun: i think the load would be pretty similar, not sure
[20:33] <Fun> bekks: lubuntu dont have intel video drivers I need
[20:33] <theadmin> Fun: What OS do you currently have?
[20:34] <Fun> win7
[20:34] <bprompt> throwthecheese:     considered running ubuntu inside windows in a VM yet? sounds like what you're asking    -> http://lifehacker.com/5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows
[20:34] <theadmin> Fun: Okay, here take: http://linuxliveusb.com
[20:34] <Fun> it was fast however with lastest updates its slow
[20:34] <ljunggren> Fun:  you have a weak pc?
[20:34] <bekks> Fun: You can install all drivers needed.
[20:34] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: Why not repartition the Zorin OS LiveUSB? You can also copy an Lubuntu or Xubuntu iso to the Zorin OS partition and use its grub to loop boot it.
[20:34] <Fun> ljunggren: lol solid lenovo here
[20:34] <ljunggren> Fun: it lags with unity?
[20:34] <bprompt> throwthecheese:    I said VM, because the self-touted "portable", simply runs it on a VM session anyhow
[20:34] <throwthecheese> I don't want to lend my USB
[20:34] <bekks> Fun: And the drivers provided by a default Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu install are identical.
[20:34] <Fun> ljunggren:  0 ideas
[20:35] <ljunggren> Fun: have you run linux on it before?
[20:35] <bekks> throwthecheese: Then install virtualbox and create a vm.
[20:35] <bprompt> throwthecheese:    hmmm usb sticks are quite cheap... unless you have a 64gbs or so
[20:35] <kangman> @bubbasaures thanks for reaching out
[20:35] <Fun> bekks: thing is when I tried lubuntu before I could only read text for 5 min
[20:35] <Fun> it hurts eyes lol
[20:35] <Fun> so I need some proper driver
[20:35] <bekks> Fun: So install that driver.
[20:35] <throwthecheese> WMs are bloated and annoying, especially to a newbie
[20:35] <ljunggren> Fun: there can also be a issue when you created the liveUSB/CD
[20:36] <ljunggren> It doesnt have to be a driver issue
[20:36] <bekks> throwthecheese: Then what do you want, besides refusing all proposals?
[20:36] <Fun> ljunggren: like what kind of issue?
[20:36] <ljunggren> Fun: well, what did you use to create it?
[20:36] <Fun> ljunggren: some soft + lubuntu  iso
[20:36] <ljunggren> Fun: i have had ton of issues with multiple tools, some tools just create faulty livecd/usb
[20:36] <throwthecheese> I will either buy a new USB stick or use Mint as an example instead of Zorin
[20:37] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: It unfortunately sounds like your constraints can't easily be met. Maybe you'll just have to introduce them to GNU/Linux another time.
[20:37] <cxm> thanks avid
[20:37] <MonkeyDust> throwthecheese  you say you don't want this and don't want that, in the end, no options are left
[20:37] <bekks> throwthecheese: Neither Mint nor Zorin are related to Ubuntu support.
[20:37] <Fun> ljunggren: well I am going to use linuxliveusb now :)
[20:37] <Fun> and it may be just fine :D
[20:37] <cxm> I am downloading the site files for the site that is hacked... I will run your command now and see what is going on
[20:37] <ljunggren> Fun: perhaps.
[20:37] <throwthecheese> The Zorin channel seems to be dead
[20:38] <bekks> throwthecheese: That doesnt make Zorin being supported in here.
[20:38] <bprompt> throwthecheese:      so.. get a usb stick then :)  , I mean.. a 4gbs is like what... $5us, assuming you can even find them to begin with, stores these days mostly carry 8gbs and up, so $5us    that's about one breakfast at taco bell :P
[20:39] <cxm> whoa that's cool how did you do that
[20:39] <throwthecheese> I'd just wanted to know whether I can make a native install of any OS
[20:39] <cxm> http://termbin.com/bobh
[20:39] <meagain> can someone tell me please how to translate a hex programe to assembly language of microcontroller  ?? thanks
[20:39] <bekks> theadmin: The answer is "No."
[20:39] <Jordan_U> throwthecheese: As someone fairly familiar with this sort of thing, I can tell you that your constraints (as you've stated them) aren't going to be any more solvable with any other distribution.
[20:40] <cxm> what is nc? is it copy and past
[20:40] <cxm> paste
[20:40] <theadmin> bekks: Sorry? I didn't ask anything.
[20:40] <bekks> theadmin: I am sorry for my tabfail. :/
[20:41] <avid_fan> cxm: I assure I did nothing other than find the site.
[20:42] <avid_fan> cxm: nc = netcat
[20:42] <meagain> any idea ??? i really need that ..
[20:43] <Fun> can I install live usb on 1GB stick?
[20:43] <Fun> or I need more?
[20:43] <Fun> nearly there :)
[20:43] <Fun> iso is 750MB so if I set persisent storage to 250 it may work?
[20:44] <meagain> #electronics
[20:44] <xangua> Fun: don't expect the usb stick to have a long life
[20:44] <Fun> ee? :
[20:44] <Fun> :D
[20:44] <Fun> xangua: how come?
[20:45] <Fun> ok I got 4 gb too
[20:46] <MonkeyDust> meagain  sure you're in the right channel?
[20:47] <Fun> how can I install usb stick modem driver? rest is ready
[20:47] <Fun> :)
[20:47] <Fun> ok got that too
[20:47] <Fun> lubuntu modem switcher :D
[20:48] <cxm> well that's pretty cool. makes life easier.  still downloading files hered
[20:49] <MonkeyDust> Fun  don't abuse the enter key, it has rights too
[20:50] <aarobc> Why is systemd?
[20:50] <EriC^^> aarobc: you mean what?
[20:51] <aarobc> I dunno, my freebsd friends wont stop ranting about it and evil. it seems nice enough. I don't know why the conflict
[20:52] <Jordan_U> aarobc: That's a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic .
[20:52] <aarobc> Jordan_U: but doesn't ubuntu use systemd?
[20:52] <EriC^^> aarobc: it will, in 15.04 i think
[20:53] <Jordan_U> aarobc: All released versions still use upstart.
[20:53] <SonikkuAmerica> aarobc: In 14.10 you can set it to use systemd if you're that itchy. I do that with virtually no seen problems.
[20:53] <aarobc> oooh, isn't that version also getting mir?
[20:53] <aarobc> so exciting
[20:53] <SonikkuAmerica> It's in the repos in that version. 14.04 I don't know about, I know it's in a !PPA but requires a bit of hacking
[20:54] <SonikkuAmerica> aarobc: Mir will be released when it's ready
[20:54] <Jordan_U> aarobc: That's also discussion more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic. This channel is for support questions relating to supported versions, not about the politics of various decisions, or about future releases (#ubuntu+1 for support of the current development release of Ubuntu).
[20:55] <aarobc> is k bro.
[20:55] <MonkeyDust> aarobc  type /j #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:57] <avid_fan> cxm: That mail.log doesn't have a "smoking gun" in my eyes. I see mail coming in from that draftsparkcity domain. So maybe postfix is/was configured to relay any mail whose "from" address included that domain?
[20:57] <cxm> the drafts site is hacked. i can see it now.  damn wordpress
[20:58] <avid_fan> cxm: Gotcha. Good luck.
[20:59] <k1l> aarobc: its target for MIR and systemd is 16.04. it will not be standard before that but you can install it to test it from 15.04 on.
[21:01] <Fun> i would  advice most people to move to linux
[21:01] <Fun> its getting better and better :d
[21:01] <Fun> windows is ok however its pretty much abandoned atm :)
[21:02] <Fun> 18 min to del under 2k items :D
[21:02] <hoss> Looking for doc-urls/tips/advice on having multiple versions of bash installed under ubuntu; goal is to write a doc for another OSS project on how to do compatibility testing of some scripts we distribute in our projects
[21:03] <mdolezel> windows is abandoned?? how is that possible?
[21:03] <xangua> !ot
[21:03] <Fun> well I used win 2000 xp etc etc each new version gets crappied
[21:03] <Fun> :)
[21:03] <k1l> can we put that non support talk into #ubuntu-offtopic? :)
[21:03] <Fun> crappier
[21:04] <mdolezel> i have never used recent versions :)
[21:04] <avid_fan> hoss: Might be a super hack, but could you just download the source for the different versions, compile but not install, and just execute from the source dierctory?
[21:05] <avid_fan> hoss: I've done that with a few things over the years, compiled the code but not "installed" it.
[21:07] <hoss> avid_fan: that's my last resort, but i'm hoping for something that can be automated a bit more (on the "install" side) ... end goal is a doc targeted at java devs of various experience level on how to do regresion testing with older bash versions before contributing patches to our launcher scripts (and most of these devs aren't going to be use to dealing with "make")
[21:08] <avid_fan> hoss: Yeah, re-reading your question, my suggestion is definitely not easy. :-)
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> hoss  there's also #ubuntu-app-devel, maybe the people there can help better
[21:09] <hoss> i'm not a very experienced apt user, perhaps an less targeted version of my question that would still apply: is there a way to tell apt to force download and "fake install" a older version of a package into a tmp dir?
[21:10] <hoss> MonkeyDust: thanks
[21:11] <jbrun> vj-sdl-font.c undefined reference to 'TTF_Init' any idea what could be the problem?
[21:13] <avid_fan> hoss: I don't know about apt, but dpkg has "--root=<directory>" Install on a different root directory and "--instdir=<directory>" Change installation dir without changing admin dir.
[21:14] <DARUDE>  if I decide to go with other cable internet companies
[21:15] <DARUDE> they would just be using the same nodes my current isp cable company uses?
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> DARUDE  how is that ubutu related?
[21:15] <DARUDE> can I not ask this?
[21:16] <MonkeyDust> DARUDE  if it's ubuntu related
[21:16] <hoss> avid_fan: yeah, i was thinking this fell in the realm of special apt-get options and/or something similar to /etc/alternatives -- but droping one level lower to dpkg and having devs wget the deb first would still be very straight forward -- time to read up on dpkg opts .... thanks.
[21:16] <avid_fan> hoss: np. Good luck.
[21:17] <k1l> DARUDE: for non ubuntu support we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:17] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Hi, I am curious, can I install virtual ubuntu servers inside an ubuntu server?
[21:17] <ToAruShiroiNeko> how difficult of a feat is this?
[21:18] <EriC^^> ToAruShiroiNeko: pretty easy i think
[21:18] <avid_fan> ToAruShiroiNeko: Servers inside servers?? That's some inception shtuff. :-)
[21:19] <DARUDE> heh
[21:21] <Jordan_U> ToAruShiroiNeko: It's fairly common to virtualization and containers on servers.
[21:21] <ToAruShiroiNeko> ah great
[21:21] <Jordan_U> s/to virtualization/to use virtualization/
[21:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I have a need of two not so resource heavy independent entities but really dont want to procure new servers for these
[21:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> nor do I want to rent a dirt cheap VPS
[21:23] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Jordan_U how difficult would it be to copy current ubuntu server on physical machine to a virtual one?
[21:24] <mr_boo> how come both os-prober and update-grub doesn't detect my win 2003 partition?
[21:24] <big> hey
[21:25] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: Is Ubuntu booted via UEFI?
[21:25] <neopsyche> ToAruShiroiNeko: have you considered using a cloud account and just manifest from control panel what you need.
[21:25] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: what's that?
[21:25] <ToAruShiroiNeko> necrogami except I have an awesome server in my disposal
[21:25] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: It's the boot firmware interface that replaces BIOS on newer machines.
[21:26] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | mr_boo
[21:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> its current underuse is upsetting my tummy
[21:26] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: don't think this machine uses that
[21:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> and I dont want any of the server users to wreck other systems
[21:26] <neopsyche> ToAruShiroiNeko: you have awesome server?
[21:26] <neopsyche> ToAruShiroiNeko: what specs?
[21:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> I can not  has
[21:26] <ToAruShiroiNeko> sure
[21:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> its an HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9
[21:27] <ToAruShiroiNeko> and when I say my disposal not my personal machine :p
[21:28] <neopsyche> Hmmmmmmmm. I feel excited. Like when getting on a roller coaster.
[21:28] <Jordan_U> ToAruShiroiNeko: Probably not very difficult, though it may be easier to just install fresh and set it up again with the VM/container. You do need to decide what type of "virtualization" you want to use, and how you decide that depends on your goals.
[21:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> indeed
[21:29] <ToAruShiroiNeko> Its a machine currently used in a production environment but I suppose I can achive my goal by just migrating what I need.
[21:33] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: here's the result http://pastebin.com/h1Ev5HNK
[21:35] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: it is the sda4 that seems to be ignored but grub while both ubuntu itself and windows 7 are listed in the grub menu
[21:36] <mr_boo> *by grub
[21:36] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: sda4 doesn't contain the bootloader files needed to boot Windows. If it's bootable at all, it would require resources from sda1 or sda2.
[21:37] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: i installed win 2003 after the other two and it took over and booted instead of grub
[21:38] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: Does booting either sda1 or sda2 lead you to a menu (from Windows' bootloader) that allows you to boot Win2K?
[21:38] <Jordan_U> s/Win2K/Win2K3/
[21:39] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: sda1 and sda2 both boots windows 7
[21:39] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: From the boot.ini on sda1, it looks like booting sda1 will lead you to Windows 2003 server.
[21:41] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: last time i tried (before trying os-prober) both did boot windows 7 but things might have changed
[21:41] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: maybe i should give it a try
[21:42] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: Interesting, sda1 has files for both ntldr (from Windows XP and below) and bootmgr (from Vista+). I don't know which the boot sector points to.
[21:43] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: win 7 of course. sda1 was made by win 7
[21:44] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: But it's odd that it also has files normally only found in earlier Windows versions.
[21:45] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: maybe the fact that i'm using both win 2003 and win 7 confuses grub
[21:46] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: but they have different UUID anyway so they should be distinguished
[21:51] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: Were you able to test booting sda1? Grub only chainloads Windows' boot sector (by default, it can also load ntldr/bcd directly, but still can't load an nt kernel directly). That means that if chainloading sda1, and so does chainloading sda2 and sda4, you have a problem with your Windows installation. And I would be very surprised if chainloading sda4 did anything useful, considering it doesn't have any Windows ...
[21:51] <Jordan_U> ... bootloader files.
[21:51] <Jordan_U> mr_boo: *If chainloading sda1 fais, and so does...*
[21:52] <O_OniGiri> Hi there, I was wondering what a recommended /home partition size is. I am planning on saving all files on another NTFS storage due to dual booting with Windows, so that all my files can be accessed on both OSes.
[21:52] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: gonna try again
[21:52] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: thanks so far
[21:52] <EriC^^> O_OniGiri: it's completely up to you
[21:52] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: the recomendation is "as big as you need"
[21:53] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: I am using symlinks, so does that mean that I can make my home like 10GB or something?
[21:53] <ikonia> I advise you not to symlink to an NTFS partition
[21:53] <Jordan_U> O_OniGiri: I would recommend against creating a separate /home/ partition at all. And if you're suggesting that you would put your entire home directory on ntfs, that's a very bad idea due to the mismatch in permissions schemes.
[21:53] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: what are the disadvantages?
[21:54] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: an unsupported file system with lack of permissions, questionable execute options etc
[21:54] <teward> O_OniGiri: NTFS doesn't handle Linux file permissions - if you're going to put /home/ onto nfts you're going to break the permissions
[21:54] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Why not? What's wrong with symlinks to paths on an ntfs volume?
[21:54] <O_OniGiri> Jordan_U: my /home is formatted as ext4
[21:55] <Jordan_U> O_OniGiri: Why do you want a separate /home/ partition?
[21:55] <O_OniGiri> Look, my HDD of 500GB has a /home of 200GB currently and the remaining memory is NTFS that is used for both OSes
[21:55] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: only you can judge home much storage you need
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: good call :-)
[21:55] <i101> Hello
[21:56] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: let's say that I'm symlinking all my subfolders of my /home, e.g. Documents, Pictures, Downloads. Is this bad?
[21:56] <i101> Do you have experience running asssaultcube on Chromebooks/Ubuntu using Crouton?
[21:57] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: if I am symlinking them, does that mean that basically my /home partition can be really small, because all files are saved on the HDD.
[21:57] <daftykins> O_OniGiri: as long as all volumes in use are ext4, that's the best way to handle the SSD + HDD split yeah
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: should be fine. Sharing NTFS can be a headache if you use Samba.
[21:57] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: I don't think it's a good idea
[21:57] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: as I've said earlier
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: makes backups easy too.
[21:57] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: if you think I'm wrong, continue
[21:57] <daftykins> i101: i don't think we  support crouton
[21:58] <i101> thanks
[21:58] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: I think you're not understanding me correctly
[21:58] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: I am
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> i101: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/795730-how-to-easily-install-ubuntu-on-chromebook-with-crouton
[21:59] <daftykins> O_OniGiri: ikonia does follow, you shouldn't symlink to an NTFS volume :)
[21:59] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: but what is bad about saving movies on a NTFS partition?
[21:59] <daftykins> symlink is bad, not storing on NTFS
[21:59] <daftykins> read the response ;)
[21:59] <O_OniGiri> daftykins: ahh ok, I am sorry for sounding rude. Not meant to
[21:59] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: they don't support the linux permissions, and your home directory will be a link to a user space mount, you can technically do it, I do'nt htink it's a good solution, however, it's up to you
[22:00] <Jordan_U> O_OniGiri: I personally don't see anything wrong with symlinking ~/Documents, ~/Pictures, and ~/Videos. You might want to keep your ntfs volume mounted noexec, and if you do that and intend to execute things you download then having ~/Downloads/ be symlinked to ntfs might involve an extra step of moving files to an ext4 path first (which may not be a bad thing). I can't comment on "etc..." because I don't know what other ...
[22:00] <Jordan_U> ... directiories that might imply, or how you might use them.
[22:00] <O_OniGiri> daftykins: could you explain why symlinking is bad? Isn't it basically similar to making shortcuts on Windows?
[22:00] <ikonia> you're not using windows
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: wait... Windows is not installed or going to be installed?
[22:01] <ikonia> I see no issue with having a shared mount point etc /mnt/videos
[22:01] <ikonia> but your home directory which is read and parsed at boot - no
[22:01] <daftykins> e.g. not etc?
[22:01] <O_OniGiri> Jordan_U: Yeah, I symlinking ~/Documents, ~/Pictures. I'm not symlinking subfolders of /
[22:01] <Nytram> O_OniGiri You CAN do what you're suggesting... I do it myself. Seperate home partition and I have symlinks to an ntfs movies folder. I've never had any issues with it.
[22:01] <ikonia> daftykins: correct
[22:02] <Jordan_U> ikonia: What in ~/Videos would be read or parsed at boot (or login for that matter)?
[22:02] <u5er> https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/stop-cyberlaw-hr4681/7YFddyYC ; David Cameron recently proposed banning encryption, Obama sided with him, now Obama introduced yet another insane proposal to update the US CFFA law against hacking.
[22:02] <u5er> If you click a link that contains illegal material, leaked information, if you're in an IRC channel or a online conversation, a forum, a chan, a Twitter discussion and some people are talking about hacking or something else illegal, even if you have nothing to do with it, if you go to Wikileaks, if you access leaked Snowden documents you can be prosecuted and sent to jail for up to 10 years.
[22:02] <u5er> This will restrict freedom of speech, and basically remove the first amendment in terms of the internet. Along side this, it could be used to get some one arrested. Send an illegal link, and you can get any one arrested.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: so Windows isn't on the system at all?
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: and not going to be used?
[22:02] <mr_boo> Jordan_U: sda1 seems to boot win 2003 now. i must repair it from the cd though since i cannot log in to it. many thanks
[22:02] <rww> u5er: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only, not non-support chatter.
[22:02] <O_OniGiri> ActionParsnip: Windows is being used
[22:02] <ikonia> Jordan_U: no idea, I've certainly seen problems with gnome when the home directory can't read the standard desktop directories,
[22:03] <ikonia> I'd just rather see it mounted outside the home directory to keep it safe and simple
[22:03] <O_OniGiri> ActionParsnip: That's why I'm using a NTFS partition to share files between the OSes
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> O_OniGiri: ok cool. I can't see an issue
[22:03] <u5er> valid
[22:03] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Interesting. Thanks.
[22:03] <ikonia> eg: /mnt/videos
[22:03] <ikonia> the thumbnails for example will be written to 'pwd'
[22:03] <ikonia> which nfts / permissions / fuse, how will that behave ?
[22:03] <ikonia> just keep it outside of the home directory
[22:04] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: thanks for your opinion
[22:04] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: thanks for your replies and effort :)
[22:04] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: I have another question, what is the difference between /mnt and /media?
[22:05] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: just directories, I'd stay away from /media as thats used for auto mounts on udev trigger
[22:06] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: Because what I did... I followed this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions , but they do say that I might want to use mnt instead of /media
[22:07] <ikonia> O_OniGiri: I also suggested using /mnt
[22:08] <O_OniGiri> ikonia: Will look at it later on :) Thanks
[22:13] <hpuser4466>  I setup virtualbox with share folders.   I can mount the share folder in guest (ubuntu) using command:  sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/share
[22:13] <hpuser4466>  How do I make the guest auto-mount share folder on reboot ??
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: could add the command in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: or add a suitable line in /etc/fstab
[22:15] <daftykins> but the VM won't be booted at that time? :)
[22:16] <daftykins> (no idea if that's relevant for Vbox)
[22:16] <hpuser4466> ActionParsnip,  I tried /etc/rc.local and /etc/fstab....Didn't work for some reason.
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: did you add above the exit 0 line, or below?
[22:17] <hpuser4466> above
[22:17] <hpuser4466> strange because I added other commands to /etc/rc.local and they worked, but the mount didn't.
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: I'd ask in #vbox to see if their are any subtleties with this
[22:18] <hpuser4466> Yeah, i'm in #vbox now ..waiting..
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: maybe a backgrounded script with a sleep then the mount helps?
[22:19] <its-martin> How are modules loaded with php5 and ubuntu 14.4? I see a directory for mods-available, but do I need to do something else because the stuff in there isn't showing up in standard issue phpinfo(); :-/
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: backgrounded obviously to not hang the boot.
[22:19] <hpuser4466> yes, sleep might work...
[22:19] <hpuser4466> I remember i had to sleep before starting alsactl restore 0...  That could be it.
[22:20] <cxm> avid
[22:20] <cxm> you still there?
[22:20] <cxm> i fixed it... thanks buddy
[22:21] <cxm> really appreciate your help.  you guys are awesome
[22:21] <its-martin> Oh what the heck, there is a php5enmod now? Why?
[22:22] <power_super2> Hi apache accepts requests from 192.168.0.X but does not get requests from 192.168.1.X is there a way to fix this
[22:22] <hpuser4466> ActionParsnip, I'll try this:   sleep 20 && mount <options>
[22:23] <power_super2> I can ping the server from a .1.x device but can't ssh in
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> power_super2: can 192.168.1.0/24 ping the server?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Ah
[22:23] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: you can add it to virtual box's permanent shares
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> power_super2: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/servers/158017-apache-2-2-8-ubuntu-not-accepting-connections-outside-lan.html
[22:25] <hpuser4466> EriC:  Yes i checked the permanant and auto boxes in the VB share menu.
[22:26] <uroyanme> Hello. How do I rename a file in command line. Thank you.
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> uroyanme: mv name newname
[22:26] <compdoc> uroyanme, can use the copy command
[22:26] <compdoc> ewrr, move - sorry
[22:27] <uroyanme> that would rename the file in the directory i am currently in?
[22:27] <EriC^^> yeah
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> uroyanme: mv ./name ./newname
[22:28] <imbezol> why would you specify the current directory?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> imbezol: completeness
[22:28] <imbezol> that's not completeness.. it's silliness
[22:29] <imbezol> ./ is the default
[22:29] <hfase> Lol $CWD/
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> imbezol: it doesn’t hurt and means you know the pwd is used
[22:29] <imbezol> ActionParsnip: you know, because it's default
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> imbezol: again, it doesn't hurt
[22:30] <imbezol> ActionParsnip: same as you don't, when in your homedir, say mv /home/ActionParsnip/../ActionParsnip/../../home/ActionParsnip/name newname
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> imbezol: if you like....
[22:32] <hpuser4466> ActionParsnip:  adding sleep to /etc/rc.local didn't work either...Lets tackle this another way:  What directories will auto execute a mount command?
[22:34] <uroyanme> ActionParsnip: Thank you
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> uroyanme: no worries
[22:35] <hpuser4466> < been trying to auto mount this share folder for HOURS...reboot, reboot, reboot etc etc
[22:35] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: you need root to mount
[22:36] <hpuser4466> EriC...Yes, I need a root priveledged auto executable directory to run the mount script.
[22:36] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: you could do something that isn't recommended, which is to write a script and have it execute when you login, giving the script root privileges
[22:36] <rosaecaeruleae> playing vlc I get a seg fault. Is that a problem of vlc or the mp4 file?
[22:36] <Ben64> why not use fstab like normal people?
[22:36] <EriC^^> Ben64: he says it isn't working *shrugs*
[22:37] <hpuser4466> Ben64:  fstab refused to mount vboxsf (don't know why) I used the correct syntax far as I know.
[22:37] <Ben64> well fix that instead of going down some weird path
[22:38] <hpuser4466> Ben64, tell me something I don't know...been researching forums all night
[22:38] <hpuser4466> This mount command works:  sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/host
[22:38] <Ben64> well you're trying to go down some weird path, so it seems you don't know
[22:38] <hpuser4466> I need to auto mount it on reboot.
[22:38] <uroyanme> ActionParsnip: I mv'd a Default to NewDefault, it created two files in chromium.  How do I reverse this change?
[22:38] <hpuser4466> Seems virtualbox doesn't follow convention
[22:39] <hfase> You can add it to fstab to mount on boot
[22:40] <Ben64> indeed
[22:40] <hpuser4466> know the correct syntax for that?  My attempt failed.
[22:40] <Ben64> what did you put
[22:40] <hpuser4466> convert this to fstab:  sudo mount -t vboxsf -o rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 share ~/host
[22:40] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: what did you try ?
[22:40] <hpuser4466> don't know i deleted it after it failed
[22:41] <hpuser4466> EriC:  know the syntax and i'll try again
[22:41] <EriC^^> share	/home/<user>/host	vboxsf defaults,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000	0	1
[22:41] <hpuser4466> Ubuntu 14.04
[22:42] <hpuser4466> Eric: is the 1 at the end necessary?  I put 0 last time.
[22:42] <EriC^^> it doesn't matter
[22:42] <hpuser4466> ok thanks, i'll try again.
[22:43] <EriC^^> ok
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> uroyanme: Delete the file you made or mv it back to overwrite as well as remove the duplicate  (if I'm reading you right )
[22:44] <obor> uroyanme, there is no revert command
[22:45] <eatingthenight> any way to test from command line how long it takes to connect to an external database?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> eatingthenight: 'time' can be used to time command execution times
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> eatingthenight: so you could time the length it takes to connect then disconnect,  maybe
[22:47] <eatingthenight> yeah that's the thing if I run mysql and connect to external server it's also timing how long it takes me to type exit
[22:48] <eatingthenight> ill look at the mysql man page
[22:48] <eatingthenight> see if i can run a simple select or something and exit. I think you can
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> eatingthenight: make a script to do it and time the script execution
[22:49] <ikonia> time does not show the connection
[22:49] <antiPoP> Hi, I have a 12.04  with automatic updates enabled. However some security updates are aplied automatically while others not. What is happening? here are the configs and relevant logs: https://gist.github.com/antiPoP/9c97efbc523caab148ea
[22:49] <ikonia> eatingthenight: what is the exact mysql command you are running
[22:49] <ikonia> (to connect)
[22:50] <eatingthenight> ikonia: mysql -u fooUser -p -h 44.55.66.77
[22:50] <ikonia> eatingthenight: ok so I can straight away take a case that it's trying to do a reverse dns lookup of 44.55.66.77 to do the initial connection auth
[22:50] <ikonia> eatingthenight: you'll probably find the same delay after you try to enter the password as it tries to check the DNS against the grant hostnames
[22:51] <eatingthenight> so mysql will aloways try and resolve the domain name?
[22:51] <ikonia> eatingthenight: when your connecting it will try to resolve the connection name incoming for logging
[22:51] <ikonia> eatingthenight: from memory you can disable this
[22:52] <eatingthenight> ikonia: interesting I will have to look into that. I just switched to a different server in the same datacenter and my mysql connection times went though the roof. I am a little out of my depth on this lol.
[22:53] <l_r> hello
[22:53] <l_r> in unity how do i have access to a generic menu with all my installed app. i can only use the mouse, the keyboard is not working
[22:54] <k1l> l_r: press alt for the HUD menue
[22:54] <l_r> like this menu   http://img.comptalks.com/uploads/2010/10/Apps-Menu-in-Unity-450x281.png
[22:54] <ikonia> eatingthenight: so the datacenter is having the same problem with another server
[22:54] <ikonia> eatingthenight: or does the other server work quicker
[22:54] <l_r> k1l, what' alt?
[22:54] <l_r> k1l, i cannot use the keyboard
[22:54] <hpuser4466> EricC:  No, fstab didn't work to mount virtualbox share folder.  An error occurred, could not mount /home/user1/share.   Press S to skip or M for manual.   See?  Virtualbox mount isn't following convention.  grrrr
[22:55] <k1l> l_r: your screenshot is very old and not up to date anymore
[22:55] <l_r> k1l, yes,ok, my ubuntu is more recent than that, it's not my screenshor
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> hpuser4466: did you make the mount point folder?
[22:55] <l_r> i can have a menu with the mouse?
[22:56] <eatingthenight> ikonia: one server works great when connecting to the mysql server in the same datacenter. the new instance i spun up is in the same datacenter but a tracert shows it takes about 60ms to find the ip compaired to about 0.1ms on the existing server. however this is translated to 1-2 second delays in the actual php application that is making the connections.
[22:56] <k1l> l_r: what menu do you want?
[22:56] <hpuser4466> ActionParsnip, yes, it mounts fine when I do it manually after bootup, but it won't mount automatically with fstab (or rc.local)
[22:56] <l_r> k1l,  a menu showing my installed app
[22:56] <k1l> l_r: you want a menu in that search scope?
[22:56] <ikonia> eatingthenight: so if you do a traceparth $IP/$port do both servers follow the same route ?
[22:56] <eatingthenight> no one takes an additional hop
[22:56] <l_r> k1l, a menu showing my installed app, from which i can run any one of them by using the mouse
[22:56] <k1l> l_r: click on the "A" symbol down at the bottom. then expand the sections you like
[22:57] <ikonia> eatingthenight: consistantly ?
[22:57] <l_r> k1l, but can i RUN the app from there?
[22:57] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2074022
[22:57] <k1l> l_r: if you click on the "filter results" you can have even categories"
[22:57] <l_r> can i run ?????
[22:57] <k1l> l_r: click on it? o_O
[22:57] <l_r> ok, et me see
[22:58] <eatingthenight> ikonia: yeah every time they come back with the same exact routes.
[22:58] <ikonia> eatingthenight: is the ms response time on that last hop longer than average/normal
[22:58] <l_r> k1l, does not run, it only shows infos or "remove"
[22:59] <k1l> l_r: it runs them here
[22:59] <eatingthenight> iknoia: the last one actually doesn't take that long. there is an extra hop right in the middle that is adding the exta 60ms each time.
[22:59] <ikonia> eatingthenight: ok, so the extra hope is in the middle and it's got a fairly big effect
[22:59] <ikonia> eatingthenight: that still shouldn't be a huge lag though
[23:00] <ikonia> eatingthenight: from the server route back to your client - see if the routes are the same
[23:00] <eatingthenight> ikonia: yeah that is the thing 60ms isn't huge but it's the only difference i can point to right now
[23:00] <ikonia> eatingthenight: it can be the route back, rather than the route in
[23:00] <ikonia> especially if it's a spanning tree network within the DC
[23:00] <eatingthenight> ikonia: awesome I will check that. Thank you for your help.
[23:00] <onetoseven> not so much going on here huh?
[23:01] <Fun> hi folks
[23:01] <Fun> reporting from linux :D
[23:01] <Fun> works fine and newest drivers help

[23:01] <EriC^^> Fun: open the dash > drivers
[23:01] <k1l> onetoseven: #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to chit chat :) we try to keep it support only in here to reduce confusion
[23:02] <ikonia> Fun: how do you know newest drivers help if you don't know what versions your running
[23:02] <Fun> ikonia: since I had old version before :D
[23:02] <Fun> or seems so
[23:02] <ikonia> old version of what ?
[23:02] <Fun> lol I installed once before with old usb live
[23:02] <Fun> so it also installed old drivers
[23:02] <ikonia> Fun: what old drivers ?
[23:03] <ikonia> Fun: what are you actually changing
[23:03] <ikonia> and why
[23:03] <k1l> Fun: what gives you "lsb_release -d"?
[23:03] <Fun> lol go to fck :D I am changing video drivers
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> Fun: sudo lshw -C display | grep driver
[23:03] <Fun> so screen is ok on eyes

[23:05] <ikonia> exactly ?
[23:05] <EriC^^> SGMonkey: yes, put them in a script, and add that to startup apps ( open the dash > startup )
[23:06] <SGMonkey> EriC^^: is a .sh a script?
[23:06] <EriC^^> SGMonkey: no need to cd or ls, just "bash /path/to/filename.sh"
[23:06] <EriC^^> or whatever shell it's written for

[23:08] <Fun> k1l: I am using T61 lenovo, the graphic driver on linux seems to be diff, screen is irritating eyes
[23:08] <Ben64> hpuser4466: you do not need to reboot every time
[23:08] <Fun> that is it
[23:08] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: ok
[23:08] <ikonia> in what way hurting the eyes ?
[23:08] <ikonia> whats the cause of your eyes hurting
[23:08] <hpuser4466> Ben64:  just to test if it holds up on a reboot : - )
[23:08] <k1l> Fun: what is irritating? too big? too small? no aligned?....
[23:09] <k1l> Fun: or is it even a hardware failure?
[23:09] <Ben64> hpuser4466: start with "mount -a"
[23:09] <gully-foyle> so when I start my computer up from stand by I have to enter the password twice, first time it's with a white and peach colored screen the second time it's the normal screen and although it doesn't affect my performance it is annoying.
[23:09] <Guest34814> somebody can helps me?
[23:09] <Guest34814> help
[23:09] <SGMonkey> EriC^^: add the command to where? the .sh?

[23:10] <ikonia> Fun: define the actual problem with the display please
[23:10] <Fun> k1l its like some barely detecable flickering
[23:10] <Codmadnesspro> plos fun
[23:10] <Fun> I was googling for articles who talk more about same issue :D
[23:10] <Fun> Codmadnesspro: ye such linux :)
[23:11] <Codmadnesspro> such tip
[23:11] <k1l> Fun: what ubuntu is it in detail?
[23:11] <Fun> its something to do with that particular video card driver imo
[23:11] <k1l> Fun: the thinkpads are supported very well on linux. so i am wondering you have issues
[23:11] <Fun> its lubuntu 14.04.1
[23:11] <Guest34814> sorry Ubottu, this "lock" lock my works and make me some hard problems
[23:11] <Fun> k1l: maybe I need to update driver then
[23:12] <bubbasaures> Guest34814, Is english your native language if not what is?
[23:12] <Fun> I have run ubuntu lubuntu on old dell and it was fine
[23:12] <k1l> Fun: the intel driver is in the kernel and there is no need to "load a driver from website and install it" like you do on windows.
[23:12] <Guest34814> I have formatted a inner hard disk installing Ubuntu 14.04.1, creating mounting points /, /home, swap, /boot
[23:12] <Fun> k1l yes so perhaps I need a proprietary driver that is not in the kernel?
[23:13] <k1l> Fun: see in the system settings for the monitor to see if you can adjust the settings to your needs
[23:13] <dtscode> hey guys... ive got a process on my vps that keeps saying this: dtscode@dragontoothsoftware:~/billbot$ warning: The echo canceller started acting funny and got slapped (reset). It swears it will behave now. but i dont know what process is saying it. how can i tell>
[23:13] <k1l> Fun: no you dont.
[23:13] <Guest34814> non is my language, babbasaures
[23:13] <k1l> Fun: intel works with the kernel makers to get good drivers already included.
[23:13] <Guest34814> *not is
[23:13] <k1l> !it | Guest34814 maybe italian channel can help you better
[23:14] <Fun> k1l o well :)
[23:14] <Fun> ty for taking your time
[23:14] <Guest34814> thanks
[23:14] <Fun> maybe I will simply use another computer for linux then :)

[23:16] <Codmadnesspro> What email server software should I use for ubuntu 14.10?
[23:16] <ikonia> Codmadnesspro: what ever one you know and like or want to learn
[23:16] <Capruro> i've problems whit libpcap0.8
[23:17] <Codmadnesspro> Well I don't know any
[23:17] <Codmadnesspro> The oness i saw only recieve
[23:17] <ikonia> Codmadnesspro: so postfix is the default in ubuntu,
[23:17] <ikonia> Codmadnesspro: the ones you saw only recieve ? which ones are they ?
[23:17] <Codmadnesspro> postfix only allows you to recieve mail and not send?
[23:17] <ikonia> Codmadnesspro: it will send mails just fine
[23:17] <ikonia> it's an MTA
[23:18] <Codmadnesspro> What about recieve?
[23:18] <ikonia> Codmadnesspro: it can take mail, it's an MTA
[23:18] <Codmadnesspro> Metropolitan Transportation Authority
[23:18] <Codmadnesspro> Wut?
[23:19] <Capruro> I've problems whit the repositorys
[23:19] <SGMonkey> How well can you operate Ubuntu with only a keyboard?
[23:19] <ki7rw> i've been trying to optimize my sata drives with hdparm but i get an error when trying to change the drive parameters
[23:19] <Capruro> Errors were encountered while processing:
[23:19] <Capruro>  /var/cache/apt/archives/libpcap0.8_1.5.3-2_amd64.deb
[23:19] <Capruro> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[23:19] <ikonia> Capruro: remove that file and re-get it
[23:19] <Capruro> i have try it
[23:19] <Capruro> but it doesn't work
[23:20] <k1l> SGMonkey: press "super" button long time to see unity commands
[23:20] <Capruro> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[23:20] <ikonia> Capruro: that is a different error
[23:20] <ikonia> Capruro: please pastebin the output of apt-cache policy libpcap
[23:21] <SGMonkey> EriC^^: IS this the command i add to startup? gnome-terminal -e "bash -c 'bash /path/to/filename.sh; bash'" inclusing quotes?
[23:21] <EriC^^> SGMonkey: yes
[23:21] <hpuser4466> EriC^^ Ben64 ActionParsnip:  Thanks!  VirtualBox share folder works!! Read/write no problems.  Symlinks to /media/sf_share did the trick.
[23:22] <EriC^^> hpuser4466: great!
[23:22] <Capruro> libpcap0.8:
[23:22] <Capruro>   Installed: 1.4.0-2
[23:22] <Capruro>   Candidate: 1.5.3-2
[23:22] <Capruro>   Version table:
[23:22] <Capruro>      1.5.3-2 0
[23:22] <Capruro>         500 http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
[23:22] <ikonia> Capruro: no a pastebin
[23:24] <SGMonkey> How can i log off with the keyboard only?
[23:24] <SGMonkey> Or restart
[23:24] <ikonia> SGMonkey: this sounds like a very odd setup
[23:25] <ikonia> you are running a desktop with no mouse and trying to execute terminals on startup
[23:25] <ikonia> what is it you are really trying to do ?
[23:25] <SGMonkey> Missus is borrowing my mouse at the minute. But i am wanting to set this up as a silent server so it doesnt need any input
[23:25] <ikonia> silent server ?
[23:25] <SGMonkey> All it will do is hold files and stuff
[23:26] <k1l> SGMonkey: if its a server just use tty and the commands there
[23:26] <SGMonkey> tty?
[23:26] <ikonia> then why are you running a desktop and why are you trying to launch temrinals on login ???
[23:26] <k1l> SGMonkey: like shutdown or reboot.
[23:26] <k1l> SGMonkey: CLI
[23:27] <SGMonkey> Dunno what you mean
[23:27] <Capruro> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9799388/plain/
[23:27] <ikonia> SGMonkey: if it's just a file server why is it running a desktop, why are you trying to launch terminals and run scripts in those terminals ?
[23:27] <k1l> SGMonkey: press ctrl+alt+f1 , there you will have a tty. that is meant for servers
[23:27] <ikonia> it seems a very odd setup
[23:27] <k1l> SGMonkey: instead of launching terminal you should use the CLI first.
[23:28] <ikonia> Capruro: that seems like a very big version jump
[23:28] <ikonia> Capruro: where did both versions come from ?
[23:28] <ikonia> Capruro: have you changed the sources.list to point at a different distro ?
[23:28] <Capruro> nope
[23:29] <Capruro> hi try to install a .deb of 1.4
[23:29] <ikonia> !info  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9799388/plain/
[23:29] <ikonia> oops
[23:29] <SGMonkey> ikonia: whats the alternative?
[23:29] <ikonia> !info  http://paste.ubuntu.com/9799388/plain/
[23:29] <ikonia> sorry
[23:29] <ikonia> !info libpcap0.8
[23:30] <ikonia> SGMonkey: alternative to what ?
[23:30] <teward> ikonia: clipboard nonfunctioning?  :)
[23:30] <ikonia> !info libpcap0.8 trusty
[23:30] <k1l> SGMonkey: if the setup should be a server use it as a server.
[23:30] <SGMonkey> A desktop
[23:30] <ikonia> !info libpcap0.8 precise
[23:31] <votlon> Hey guys i've been trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on my macbookpro 5,3 laptop, I'm having an issue with the graphics card when booting from grub. When i boot using the nomodeset param its a blank purple screen, i was able to hear the login screen drum sound when i used the nouveau.noaccel=1 param but its still a black screen with purple dots everywhere. Any ideas what i should try next?
[23:31] <k1l> SGMonkey: sorry, but you are not making any sense at all
[23:31] <ikonia> !info libpcap0.8 saucy
[23:31] <SGMonkey> SGMonkey: if it's just a file server why is it running a desktop
[23:32] <k1l> SGMonkey: you told it should be a headless server offering files. now its a desktop? please explain the setup and the use
[23:32] <ikonia> Capruro: what version of ubuntu did you originally install ?
[23:32] <SGMonkey> Ikona said i was using a desktop
[23:32] <k1l> SGMonkey: you asked for desktop solutions. so do you run a desktop or server?
[23:33] <SGMonkey> Its just a normal desktop pc, which is running ubuntu that i was going to use to serve files to other pcs round my house
[23:33] <Capruro> trusty
[23:33] <Ben64> SGMonkey: so then use it like a server --- no gui
[23:33] <ikonia> SGMonkey: so why are you trying to open a terminal and run a shell script ?
[23:33] <ikonia> SGMonkey: for what purpose ?
[23:33] <ikonia> Capruro: so you installed trusty and it's currently still trusty ?
[23:33] <SGMonkey> To run a game server
[23:33] <Capruro> yes!
[23:34] <ikonia> Capruro: could you please run "apt-get update" for me and pastebin the output
[23:34] <Capruro> course
[23:35] <ikonia> SGMonkey: so look at the startup programs for that then
[23:35] <votlon> No one have any ideas? :(
[23:35] <ikonia> SGMonkey: rather than an over complex process to start a terminal to call a shell to call a script
[23:35] <ikonia> SGMonkey: try to daemon ise it
[23:35] <SGMonkey> I dont know how
[23:36] <ikonia> SGMonkey: so that would be (to me) a more sensible style of question to ask, rather than how to make a complex solution
[23:36] <Capruro> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9799410/plain/
[23:37] <ikonia> Capruro: you have lots of 3rd party software in there and you have some precise repos in there
[23:37] <ikonia> I'm not massively surprised your machine is in conflict
[23:37] <SGMonkey> All i know is, in order to start the server i have to open the terminal and type in
[23:37] <SGMonkey> cd "foldername/foldername two/"
[23:37] <SGMonkey> ls
[23:37] <SGMonkey> ./filename.sh
[23:37] <SGMonkey> One after the other
[23:37] <Fun> hi again :)
[23:37] <ikonia> you also appear to have 32 and 64bit repos enabled
[23:38] <ikonia> this will also cause you problems
[23:38] <Fun> I have installed Java java -version works however in browser its yet to work
[23:38] <ikonia> and debian repos
[23:38] <Fun> how do I enable it in FireFox ?
[23:38] <ikonia> Capruro: I would not trust your machine
[23:38] <alket> !digest
[23:38] <Fun> the screen seems fine now :)
[23:38] <k1l> SGMonkey: you can do the same from a tty
[23:39] <SGMonkey> How?
[23:39] <Capruro> how can I fix?
[23:39] <SGMonkey> I did what you suggested to enter the tty or whatever but i couldnt do anything from there
[23:39] <k1l> SGMonkey: install and run a ssh demon and connect from the ssh. or use the keyboard on that machine
[23:40] <SGMonkey> k1l: Way over my head, I have no idea what that means and it sounds way more complicated than running a script at login time
[23:40] <k1l> SGMonkey: it should look like this: http://linuxhomeserverguide.com/images/OSInstall/UbuntuLogin.png
[23:41] <ikonia> Capruro: I'd not trust your machines software install perosnally (others may differ in opinion) but I'd get my system to a clean ubuntu 14.04 64bit install
[23:41] <ikonia> Capruro: I'd then only install software from truested 64bit ubuntu repos
[23:41] <SGMonkey> Yeah it did
[23:42] <k1l> SGMonkey: then enter username, enter, password, enter. then you are in a "terminal" on that machine. called "tty" or CLI (comand line interface) there you can do your commands to start the gameserver
[23:42] <SGMonkey> I think you are missing the point. I want it to run without any input
[23:42] <k1l> SGMonkey: you can reach that CLI over ssh, too (if you installed ssh server) and do that commands from another machine.
[23:43] <Capruro> ikonia: so do you think is better to format it?
[23:43] <k1l> SGMonkey: so make a startscript. but things that should run as a server (like gameservers) should already have that.
[23:43] <usr10> my system was shutdown not normally caused my power was empty. then my computer was turn off before shutdown proses finished. after that, when i turn on, before screen login shown,show the message= could'nt update .ICEauthority . and when after login, my gnome windows menu (minimize, maximize,close buttons) was moved at left position, why its happen, and how to fix?
[23:44] <SGMonkey> I dont understand how what youre suggesting is a benefit?
[23:44] <SGMonkey> The server is a jar file that i need opening automatically in a terminal when the computer logs in
[23:45] <bekks> SGMonkey: Do you want to autostart a minecraft server, by chance? :)
[23:45] <k1l> SGMonkey: you try to eat a steak with a spoon. either choose a knife and a fork or see if you want to eat something else.
[23:45] <k1l> oh java. so its minecraft stuff? :/
[23:45] <A124> Q: What is the simplest way to create dualboot Ubuntu? aka 2x Ubuntu.
[23:46] <rdimous> Hi Everyone, how do I add the contents of one file.txt to the beginning of another file without replacing its contents from the console... like this example: http://pastebin.com/RAXx3Lgf
[23:46] <votlon> Alrighty so im going to just try to reinstall a newer version of ubuntu, for 14.04 to install it on a macbookpro so i need to use the amd64-mac iso or can i just use the regular desktop iso?
[23:47] <A124> rdimous: echo "text"|cat - yourfile > /tmp/out && mv /tmp/out yourfile
[23:47] <SGMonkey> k1l: I still need access to the desktop and whatnot though
[23:47] <usr10> how to fix .could't update .ICEauthority?
[23:47] <SGMonkey> How do i get back to the desktop from tty?
[23:47] <rdimous> A124, isn't that going to replace the contents of file b_
[23:47] <rdimous> ?
[23:47] <Fun> solved
[23:47] <Fun> :D
[23:48] <SGMonkey> bekks: yeah pretty much
[23:48] <A124> rdimous: In other words you create new file, put things in order you want to the file, then replace the file
[23:48] <wallbroken> Hi
[23:48] <k1l> SGMonkey: well, you are making a lot of confusion. so its a regular desktop pc, which is used as a desktop, but just runs a minecraft server.
[23:48] <wallbroken> Di you know some like launchpad  of osx on ubuntu?
[23:49] <SGMonkey> Yes, thats what i said from the start
[23:49] <rdimous> A124, gotcha and if I want to add the contents of a single file to several files with the same extension?   let's say the contents of fileA.txt to fileB.txt FileC.txt and FileD.txt  without replacing the contents of b, c and d
[23:49] <SGMonkey> I said it was a standard ubuntu install on a desktop PC which im using to steam media files to the rest of my house
[23:49] <OerHeks> wallbroken, github
[23:49] <k1l> SGMonkey: no
[23:50] <SGMonkey> k1l: no what?
[23:50] <A124> rdimous: you do the same.. with for loop. But... first rename fileA to have different extension.
[23:50] <rdimous> but that will be a pain in the butt hehe
[23:51] <rdimous> I just want the files to be named the same without renaming anything... there are like 120 files that I just need to add 2 lines at the beginning of them all
[23:51] <rosaecaeruleae> playing vlc I get a segmentation fault. Is that a problem of vlc or the mp4 file?
[23:53] <Jordan_U> rosaecaeruleae: Segfaulting almost always implies a bug in the program. It may be that you have a malformed video file that triggers that bug though.
[23:53] <rosaecaeruleae> ....
[23:53] <rosaecaeruleae> ok thnks
[23:53] <votlon> Sorry for asking again, but does anyone know or know where to find the documentation when installing ubuntu to a mac when iso i should use?
[23:53] <k1l> SGMonkey: to steam files to other pcs is not a common desktop task. its what servers and workstations do
[23:53] <k1l> SGMonkey: to steam files to other pcs is not a common desktop task. its what servers and workstations do
[23:53] <votlon> what iso*
[23:54] <Jordan_U> votlon: You should use the standard 64 bit iso.
[23:54] <SGMonkey> I'm well aware of that
[23:54] <votlon> Jordan_U: ty very much
[23:54] <Jordan_U> votlon: You're welcome.
[23:54] <k1l> SGMonkey: but if you want it that way, run it that way. but most guys will tell you that you dont need a running desktop for that.
[23:54] <wallbroken> Sorry, I mistaken, I meant mission control
[23:54] <votlon> Jordan_U: got really confused when i was the amd64-mac isos didnt know if i was supposed to be using that instead
[23:54] <votlon> when i saw*
[23:54] <rosaecaeruleae> Jordan_U, I recently changed ownership of the lost+found directory in the hdd in which the files are stored... is that related? I changed it back to root:root
[23:55] <uroyanme> How do I take FILE and rename/overwrite ANOTHERFILE?
[23:56] <SGMonkey> k1l: Then what do i need?
[23:56] <Jordan_U> votlon: Those images are helpful for certain intel macs *but only when burned to a DVD*, when using USB install media you need to *not* use the +mac iso. Also, with the latest release of Ubuntu, a better work around was found and so no +mac iso is needed even for those machines, even when booting from DVD.
[23:56] <k1l> SGMonkey: for what? please explain exactly what for, or people will think you want the usual server way.
[23:57] <SGMonkey> Fuckit, I give up. I wasnt even asking help on how to do what youre talking about
[23:57] <votlon> Jordan_U: ohhhhh okay thanks for explaining that
[23:57] <Jordan_U> votlon: You're welcome :)
[23:58] <k1l> SGMonkey: what? "i want to do this and that with that setup" and people could answer "<SGMonkey> k1l: Then what do i need?"
[23:59] <Jordan_U> rosaecaeruleae: You shouldn't be storing files in lost+found. lost+found is intended only as a place for fsck to stick partially recoverd files (when their original path can't be determined).
[23:59] <SGMonkey> I did... I asked how i could run these commands in the terminal after the user has logged in whilst keeping the terminal open
