[00:00] <rosaecaeruleae> Jordan_U, i didnt store them IN that directory, I just chaged its privileges dur to a -R I added to chown
[00:01] <uroyanme> how do I remove a directory?
[00:01] <gsilvapt> uroyanme, check this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/217893/how-to-delete-a-non-empty-directory-in-terminal
[00:01] <Jelo> rm -r uroyanme
[00:02] <k1l> SGMonkey: no, sorry. you asked how you could use a desktop without a mouse etc. and it was very hard to get informations from you about what you actually want to do. but since you dont want my help i will step away. ask a clear question and others might help.
[00:02] <SGMonkey> I asked a clear question about the keyboard and i got an answer, which was fine
[00:03] <Jelo> algun español?
[00:03] <k1l> !es | Jelo
[00:04] <Tommy282> Oh hai guys ;3 Question... any idea why my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS starts sucking majorly after installing catalyst for radeon? :o
[00:04] <k1l> SGMonkey: i think we both are done with that. i hope others understand what you want or need and can help you. good luck
[00:04] <daftykins> Tommy282: because AMD aren't too hot on Linux, also 12.04 is ancient
[00:04] <k1l> Tommy282: depends on the hardware that is used. some older cards are dropped from fglrx and are better supported from the radeon
[00:05] <Tommy282> daftykins: :O really? I guess I can just forget openCL then ;3
[00:05] <daftykins> let me guess.. mining?
[00:05] <Tommy282> daftykins: What's the answer then? Switch to intel/nvidia and use something else?
[00:06] <Tommy282> uhhh sure mining ;3
[00:06] <daftykins> Tommy282: also can you detail what "sucking majorly" is?
[00:06] <Tommy282> um
[00:06] <Tommy282> Mainly it just starts running really slow
[00:06] <bubbasaures> daftykins, Thats what we all want to know.
[00:06] <Tommy282> it's like the ability to render just goes away
[00:06] <SGMonkey> k1l: My original question was this.
[00:06] <SGMonkey> How can I run these commands at startup. Thats it! How is that not a clear question?
[00:06] <Tommy282> especially web browsing sessions OMG
[00:07] <k1l> SGMonkey: i am not interessted in drama. good luck with your issue.
[00:07] <bubbasaures> Tommy282, no slang here please.
[00:07] <daftykins> Tommy282: you mean whilst a miner is running in the background? (speak now if i guessed wrong, or forever hold your peace)
[00:07] <Tommy282> bubbasaures: Seriously? O_o
[00:07] <SGMonkey> What do you mean? I'm not being dramatic. I only ever asked you to explain your suggestions
[00:07] <Tommy282> daftykins: Nope, just in general
[00:07] <bubbasaures> !language | Tommy282 seriously
[00:07] <daftykins> Tommy282: are you on this system right now?
[00:08] <Tommy282> bubbasaures: It's IRC O_O figured the verbage 'omg' would be acceptable, but okay.
[00:08] <Tommy282> daftykins: Yes I am, however, i am on a clean install now.
[00:08] <daftykins> ah so we can't do anything about identifying the older setup
[00:08] <daftykins> Tommy282: what card is it?
[00:08] <cromagi> Hey can i get a bit of advice
[00:09] <Tommy282> daftykins: R7 260x
[00:09] <daftykins> cromagi: not until you ask a question
[00:09] <daftykins> Tommy282: how come you've been using 12.04 then?
[00:09] <Tommy282> daftykin: Um. privacy concerns I guess.
[00:09] <Tommy282> daftykin: Plus I tend to like older stuff :P
[00:09] <cromagi> I am wanting to learn how to program and graphic desighn and stuff like that. However I want a fast OS that doesnt mess up often other than linux mint. Is kubuntu for me?
[00:10] <cromagi> Or any others reccomended?
[00:10] <daftykins> Tommy282: oh wow. are you serious? were you under the impression 14.04 somehow leaks everything to the world?
[00:10] <Tommy282> daftykins: After seeing Snowdens documentary, i don't know what to think anymore tbh. Part of me says our privacy has been comprimised regardless
[00:11] <Tommy282> compromised*
[00:11] <cromagi> Anyone have an answer to my question?
[00:11] <daftykins> ok well lets not get into that, the only 'privacy concerns' on Ubuntu are the whole shopping search thing which can be turned off
[00:11] <daftykins> Tommy282: also, if you reinstalled from new media of 12.04, you might be already running the newer 14.04 kernel too (uname -r would report a 3.13 kernel)
[00:12] <daftykins> Tommy282: anywho, back on topic - have you been installing fglrx from the recommended hardware additional drivers page in ubuntu's system settings, or from a download from AMD's website?
[00:12] <Tommy282> daftykins: To be honest I have tried 14.04 as well, I experienced similar issues
[00:13] <Tommy282> daftykins: well kinda. Firstly, I've tried to go into settings and using the 'recommended' driver
[00:13] <Tommy282> daftykins: Which is funny because it seems like the 'default' install driver worked much better.
[00:14] <cromagi> Officially going from ubuntu from kubuntu.
[00:14] <daftykins> it may well do with unity, radeon's taken some pretty big strides so i hear
[00:14] <cromagi> Is that a bad or a good idea
[00:14] <daftykins> cromagi: boot a live session and try it, no need to get married on the first date
[00:14] <Tommy282> ^
[00:15] <cromagi> how do i do that
[00:15] <Tommy282> daftykins: Okay well, i'm going to install from the manufactures website, i'll report back.
[00:15] <Tommy282> daftykins: Thanks for the advise <3
[00:16] <daftykins> Tommy282: you have to remove the suggested fglrx first, by the way
[00:16] <daftykins> otherwise things may get messy
[00:17] <Tommy282> daftykins: Really O_o okay
[00:18] <votlon> Does using LVM decrease file system performance or is it worth it for the snapshots?
[00:23] <adh0c> Hi I'm trying to configure shorewall on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04.1 installation.
[00:23] <adh0c> For some reason despite having verified my configuration on another machine, albeit Debian, once starting shorewall I find myself unable to SSH into it.
[00:24] <adh0c> Even though SSH connections in the rules file are allowed.
[00:24] <cromagi> where do i find kubuntu torrent download
[00:24] <daftykins> interfaces swapped? assuming it's some kinda firewall product
[00:24] <cromagi> Cant find it on kubuntu.com
[00:24] <daftykins> cromagi: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04.1/release/
[00:25] <adh0c> daftykins: thanks - ip reveals rather unconventional interface names which are probably the issue.
[00:26] <adh0c> The primary interface is named 'p4p1' for some reason for example.
[00:26] <daftykins> adh0c: ah yes, i've heard of this quirky kernel driver interface naming
[00:27] <cromagi> Ubuntu wont recognize my usb and it is not showing up in gparted
[00:27] <cromagi> Cannot format it with "disks"
[00:27] <daftykins> flash drive? "dmesg | tail" would show if the kernel saw it
[00:27] <adh0c> It looks like systemd-udevd did not appreciate the standard 'eth0' as the device name.
[00:27] <adh0c> Fucking systemd.
[00:27] <adh0c> Pardon my french.
[00:27] <daftykins> !language
[00:27] <daftykins> -10 points
[00:27] <daftykins> :)
[00:28] <adh0c> My bad. :-P
[00:28] <adh0c> Just wasted several hours on this... >:-{
[00:28] <little> how do we put itunes on linux or unbuntu
[00:28] <daftykins> little: i don't think it works at all.
[00:28] <little> why?
[00:29] <daftykins> because it's an Apple product.
[00:29] <daftykins> Apple hate open source
[00:29] <little> ok so what  the only way ?
[00:29] <cromagi> Ugh someone help me please
[00:29] <daftykins> cromagi: i already replied. perhaps if you read my message...
[00:29] <goodtime> IRC clients dont realy support mac
[00:29] <daftykins> little: buy a mac or VM Windows
[00:30] <cromagi> about the usb
[00:30] <cromagi> ?
[00:30] <goodtime> there is clients for mac
[00:30] <daftykins> 00:27 < daftykins> flash drive? "dmesg | tail" would show if the kernel saw it
[00:30] <daftykins> cromagi: ^ pay more attention please :)
[00:30] <goodtime> but IRC itself isnt realy supporting mac products
[00:30] <little> ok  but if a dont want to buy  a have to go to apple store or there something else?
[00:30] <goodtime> not realy configured that way
[00:30] <QhdN> hi
[00:30] <daftykins> little: to achieve what?
[00:31] <daftykins> little: this isn't an Apple product support channel
[00:31] <little>    i know -.-
[00:31] <goodtime> this is a linux based supprt channel little
[00:31] <goodtime> support*
[00:31] <daftykins> goodtime: i don't need a parrot :)
[00:31] <little>  i KNOW
[00:31] <goodtime> okay daftykins
[00:32] <k1l> little: see if it works in wine
[00:32] <k1l> !wine | little
[00:32] <cromagi> Sorry i didnt see that
[00:32] <little> oki
[00:33] <dtscode> hey guys... i keep running sudo tasksel install mail-server, but it responds with: tasksel: aptitude failed (100)
[00:33] <dtscode> how can i fix this?
[00:34] <daftykins> dtscode: version?
[00:34] <dtscode> 14.04 64 bit
[00:34] <daftykins> server?
[00:34] <dtscode> yeah
[00:34] <dtscode> would this be better for -server?
[00:34] <daftykins> clean install or has it had at least a package list download?
[00:34] <daftykins> wouldn't hurt to try there too
[00:35] <dtscode> cleanish. ive installed some things, and yes ive ran apt-get update and upgrade
[00:35] <dtscode> and ok. ill try there too
[00:35] <daftykins> maybe scour some logs
[00:36] <dtscode> what logs should i search in?
[00:36] <little> thx for  the suggestions have a great evenning :)
[00:36] <daftykins> dtscode: that i cannot help you with. but as part of the lovely task of learning to admin servers, you shall soon get very familiar
[00:37] <dtscode> oh hold on daftykins i may have something relevant
[00:37] <dtscode> https://bpaste.net/show/efc0dd551d40
[00:37] <dtscode> this is some of the output
[00:37] <goodtime> i know some irc admins personaly ,perhaps ill checkin to that for you all
[00:38] <dtscode> the only reason i didnt consider it is because my server is always printing those commands
[00:38] <daftykins> i don't have a clue on any of that
[00:39] <daftykins> locales are out of my experience
[00:39] <dtscode> alright. thanks for the suggestions anyways! hopefully ill have more luck on google/searching the logs
[00:39] <daftykins> cromagi: so, dmesg output show the flash drive when you plug it in?
[00:40] <cromagi> i got a very large output
[00:41] <daftykins> that's why you run "dmesg | tail" as i first mentioned :)
[00:43] <cromagi> It did not show my usb
[00:44] <daftykins> try a few other USB ports and repeat it until you see one detected
[00:45] <cromagi> none worked
[00:45] <zilzal> مرحبا
[00:46] <daftykins> cromagi: try it back on another system? either your USB is shot or your drive is
[00:46] <cromagi> Well i recently tried to use this usb to run puppy linux but i got an error and now it wont work at all
[00:46] <cromagi> So i am guessing it is the usb
[00:46] <cromagi> Thanks for your help
[00:47] <daftykins> np
[00:52] <cromagi> Okay, is there any way to install an os without a usb dvd or cd
[00:52] <cromagi> Safely
[00:52] <daftykins> no
[00:52] <daftykins> unless you have a separate /boot partition large enough for an ISO
[00:53] <cromagi> ughhh
[00:53] <daftykins> i suppose network boot is another idea, but that's hours of messing around to setup
[00:54] <Ben64> meanwhile flash drives can be had for <$10 at any store
[00:54] <cromagi> I just want kubuntu. I hear thats best for devs
[00:54] <cromagi> but i have no usb or dvd
[00:54] <cromagi> I do have 700mb cd
[00:54] <daftykins> cromagi: you could write a mini.iso and network install
[00:55] <cromagi> Sorry I am a noob.
[00:55] <yvear> where is the file that stores all previous terminal cmds?
[00:55] <uroyanme> #help noob
[00:55] <reisio> yvear: ~/.bash_history, 'help history', etc.
[00:55] <uroyanme> how do I use this chats help?
[00:55] <reisio> uroyanme: /help
[00:56] <uroyanme> userlist
[00:57] <reisio> uroyanme: /names
[00:57] <Ben64> uroyanme: you use this channel by asking a question and waiting for a response
[00:57] <reisio> I do believe he figured that out before he... asked a question...
[00:59] <cromagi_> What is a mini.iso
[00:59] <cromagi_> Will i be able to update to a full version of kubuntu'
[01:00] <reisio> cromagi_: if you get any version of Kubuntu, yes
[01:00] <reisio> it probably is enough software to boot and download the rest you'll need/want
[01:00] <reisio> hence mini
[01:00] <uroyanme> Ok, I am confused now. Does my questions /help... flood the whole room?
[01:00] <k1l> cromagi_: install the "kubuntu-desktop" package and it will be a regular kubuntu version then
[01:01] <cromagi_> I'm confused to how this process works
[01:01] <reisio> uroyanme: nope, you see it alone
[01:01] <reisio> cromagi_: ?
[01:02] <cromagi_> y of installing a full version i have no usb or dvd
[01:02] <k1l> cromagi_: the mini iso is just like the basis of a car: engine and wheels etc. just what it needs to drive. then you can install a bodykit onto it (desktops like kde or gnome or unity) afterwards if you like. or stay with that minimal setup.
[01:02] <cromagi_> i have no way**
[01:02] <yvear> reisio, tyvm. how would I copy that whole thing to clipboard via command line?
[01:02] <reisio> cromagi_: the images that fit on a CD will suffice
[01:03] <reisio> yvear: history | xclip -selection clipboard
[01:03] <k1l> cromagi_: it will load the stuff needed from the internet after the minimal system is installed.
[01:03] <reisio> yvear: cat ~/.bash_history | ... etc.
[01:03] <cromagi_> Can you get me the mini.iso link for kubuntu i cant find it
[01:03] <reisio> cromagi_: you in Kansas?
[01:03] <cromagi_> Arkansas
[01:03] <k1l> cromagi_: there is no one form kubuntu since kubuntu is not minimal
[01:04] <reisio> ar-kansas :p
[01:04] <cromagi_> lol
[01:04] <k1l> cromagi_: kubuntu is already a full desktop. so it cant be minimal.
[01:04] <bubbasaures> cromagi_, the ubuntu mini can install what ever desktop you like, if in the repos.
[01:04] <cromagi_> Okay im confused
[01:04] <cromagi_> k1l can u pm me
[01:04] <k1l> cromagi_: think of the car example i gave you
[01:05] <Jordan_U> cromagi_: The netinstall (mini) iso downloads all packages from the internet. You will be asked during installation what set of packages you want to install, and that will determine what "flavor" of Ubuntu you get. The different flavors of Ubuntu differ only in what packages are installed by default.
[01:06] <gueriLLaPunK> i dont understand what im doing wrong :(
[01:06] <reisio> think I said that already
[01:06] <gueriLLaPunK> im trying to add this PPA
[01:06] <cromagi_> Someone pm me
[01:06] <gueriLLaPunK> sudo add-apt-repository PPA: nathan-renniewaldock ppa
[01:06] <cromagi_> Everyone keeps trying to tell me stuff and its confusoing
[01:06] <gueriLLaPunK> and i keep getting
[01:06] <gueriLLaPunK> Error: need a repository as argument
[01:06] <k1l> just an engine and 4 wheels and a chassis. that is a minimal install. no nice to have seats, no roof no nothing. its just enough to actually drive. that is a minimal install.  then you put the kde desktop on top on it after you got the minimal install running. like you put nice seats and roof onto that minimal car to make it a full car.
[01:06] <reisio> cromagi_: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[01:06] <reisio> cromagi_: yeah, 'cause a lot of people aren't paying attention :p
[01:07] <k1l> !minimal
[01:07] <gueriLLaPunK> what argument am i missing?
[01:07]  * reisio shakes head
[01:07] <bubbasaures> gueriLLaPunK, ppa's not supported here however go to it's webpage for installing info there.
[01:07] <cromagi_> I just got a file mini.iso
[01:07] <cromagi_> from an unreliable source
[01:07] <Jordan_U> k1l: IIRC the minimal install iso can't even do a minimal installation without an internet connection, and by default installs ubuntu-desktop.
[01:07] <cromagi_> How can i trust that lol
[01:07] <reisio> cromagi_: from where?
[01:07] <gueriLLaPunK> i just need to know how to correct the argument
[01:07] <cromagi_> the one you gave me
[01:07] <reisio> cromagi_: if you have md5sum, it should be this: 4f783f3917ed4c663c9a983f4ee046fc
[01:07] <gueriLLaPunK> the webpage just gives me the ppa
[01:07] <gueriLLaPunK> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/multiverse/base/unrar
[01:07] <reisio> cromagi_: mmm, well you must have some element of trust, in a help forum
[01:08] <reisio> and in a website domain like ubuntu.com
[01:08] <k1l> Jordan_U: iirc it asks for what and you can go without any desktop.
[01:08] <cromagi_> I was kidding
[01:08] <cromagi_> What do i do with this
[01:08] <cromagi_> what version or whatever does it have in it
[01:09] <squinty> gueriLLaPunK:  if you are trying to install Kodi (update xbmc) then just go to their page, click on the linux link and you will see the correct instructions
[01:09] <gueriLLaPunK> no, just unrar-nonfree
[01:09] <reisio> cromagi_: 14.10, you can get KDE/Kubuntu post-install
[01:09] <k1l_> but i think reisio will handle that one :)
[01:09] <gueriLLaPunK> but its fine, i just manually installed the deb
[01:09] <reisio> k1l_: ?
[01:09] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: that can cause problems later
[01:10] <cromagi_> Ok
[01:10] <cromagi_> Is it 64 bit
[01:10] <reisio> cromagi_: yes
[01:10] <Jordan_U> k1l: You definitely can go without, but for example I don't think that the interface is different than the alternate install CD, which can also do a minimal install, and can also install packages from the internet. The "mini" is about the size of the installer, not the size of the resulting installation.
[01:10] <squinty> gueriLLaPunK:  http://kodi.wiki/view/Installing_XBMC_for_Linux
[01:10] <k1l_> reisio: i am not making more confusion, sorry for that.
[01:10] <gueriLLaPunK> Ben64, well, thats true, but i cant seem to get the correct arguement for "sudo add-apt-repository PPA:nathan/nathan-renniewaldock ppa"
[01:10] <reisio> mmm, k
[01:10] <cromagi_> Okay. So this is basically a regular installation with a few additional steps
[01:10] <cromagi_> ?
[01:11] <k1l_> Jordan_U: yes. but the alternate is dropped anyway. so the mini is the only one now serving that all
[01:11] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: the instructions should be on the ppa page
[01:11] <gueriLLaPunK> Ben64, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/multiverse/base/unrar
[01:12] <gueriLLaPunK> no instructions, just the ppa
[01:12] <gueriLLaPunK> and the deb
[01:12] <gueriLLaPunK> which i just installed manually since i dont know how to add the ppa
[01:12] <Ben64> ppa:nathan-renniewaldock/ppa
[01:12] <reisio> cromagi_: basically one additional step
[01:12] <reisio> cromagi_: it installs a smaller, baser system that fits on a CD
[01:12] <reisio> cromagi_: from that you can install anything else, including the larger, base system that fits on a DVD
[01:12] <gueriLLaPunK> thank you very much, Ben64
[01:12] <cromagi_> Thank you
[01:13] <cromagi_> I will let you know how it turns out
[01:13] <reisio> s/that fits on a CD/whose installation media fits on a CD/
[01:13] <reisio> cromagi_: okay :)
[01:13] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: you weren't looking at the ppa page
[01:13] <gueriLLaPunK> what was i looking at?
[01:13] <cromagi_> Hopefully this will work :D I tried to install linux mint previously and it went bad
[01:13] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: some page on ubuntuupdates
[01:13] <reisio> cromagi_: it may well :)
[01:14] <cromagi_> hmm>?
[01:14] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: before just saying "screw it" and installing stuff manually, actually find the right way next time
[01:14] <gueriLLaPunK> Ben64, which is what i was trying to do in the first place, but no one was helping me correct the arugument until you did and no one told me that the page i was looking at was incorrect
[01:14] <reisio> saying 'screw it' is fine, as long as you don't subject anyone else to your waste of time :)
[01:14] <cromagi_> So what do you think of kubuntu 14.10 personally?
[01:14] <gueriLLaPunK> i assumed the information was sound, Ben64
[01:15] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: there was no "information" on the page you looked at, you found a line that included PPA and decided to try it
[01:16] <Ben64> gueriLLaPunK: two clicks away from where you were at would have shown you exactly how to do it
[01:16] <gueriLLaPunK> i wish i knew, Ben64
[01:16] <gueriLLaPunK> if i did, then i wouldve done so myself
[01:16] <Ben64> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/nathan-renniewaldock_ppa?dist=precise
[01:19] <bubbasaures> Ben64, It would be nice if all these websites saying install this ppa said " and by the way stop by their page and see if even supported........etc.
[01:19] <gueriLLaPunK> i see. all the pages i saw on how to add a ppa say "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name" and the page I was looking at wasn't formatted in that way and I tried different ways to get it to work
[01:19] <cromagi> You still here?
[01:19] <gueriLLaPunK> anyways, thanks for the help Ben64
[01:21] <cromagi> u here?
[01:21] <cromagi> it didnt work.
[01:24] <SchrodingersScat> !who | cromagi
[01:25] <cromagi> Just someone tell me how to install kubuntu without a boot device?
[01:27] <bekks> cromagi: Why dont you have a boot device?
[01:27] <Jordan_U> cromagi: What do you mean by "without a boot device"? Do you not have any USB drives, blank CDs, blank DVDs, or anything else that you could boot an Ubuntu installer from?
[01:27] <cromagi> Usb just broke and no dvd
[01:27] <Jordan_U> cromagi: By "USB just broke" do you mean that your USB drive just broke, or that you can no longer use USB at all on this computer?
[01:27] <cromagi> Unless i can learn programming and graphical design on ubuntu, then i need to use kubuntu for my classes.
[01:28] <cromagi> This usb doesnt work on any computer at my disposal
[01:28] <cromagi> Cannot be formatted.
[01:29] <bekks> cromagi: So you need another usb device, preferably a working one.
[01:29] <cromagi> Don't have another one nor the money for one
[01:29] <Jordan_U> cromagi: Any programming and graphical design programs you would use on Kubuntu can also be run from any other Ubuntu flavor.
[01:30] <bekks> cromagi: And how did you create that usb device to be able to boot it?
[01:30] <happyfr0gg> How do I install the stable version of XFCE (4.10) into Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty?
[01:31] <cromagi> I trashed my usb on my previous experiments with a broken windows vista pc
[01:31] <cromagi> Im sure of it.
[01:31] <Jordan_U> happyfr0gg: sudo apt-get install xfce4 # Though you may want to install xubuntu-desktop, or pick and choose individual components instead
[01:31] <bekks> cromagi: So you need another working USB device.
[01:31] <bekks> cromagi: Or you might answer my previous question.
[01:31] <cromagi> Any programmers in here?
[01:32] <cromagi> I wasnt able to make it a boot device because ubuntu wouldnt even recognize it
[01:32] <bekks> cromagi: Programmers cant help you more than "all the others" in here.
[01:32] <cromagi> I am only looking for someone to help me get started programming
[01:32] <cromagi> Because i cant find anyone who programs and devs on ubuntu itself
[01:33] <bekks> cromagi: "getting starting programming" does not involve "installing kubuntu" most likely.
[01:33] <cromagi> I will try and use ubuntu. I just prefer kubuntu because to run android studio you must have xfce or kde
[01:33] <Jordan_U> cromagi: ##programming might be a good channel for that. If you already know what language you'd like to start with, you'll probably be best off joining that language's IRC channel.
[01:34] <Ben64> cromagi: thats false
[01:34] <happyfr0gg> Jordan_U, thanks.
[01:34] <cromagi> I got android studio from repositories but it is not at all what i need
[01:34] <bekks> cromagi: you dont have to have xfce pr kde for running ubuntu studio.
[01:34] <bekks> *or
[01:34] <cromagi> Go to androidstudio.com and look at the system requirements
[01:34] <Jordan_U> happyfr0gg: You're welcome.
[01:35] <cromagi> developer.android.com/tools/studio sorry
[01:35] <bekks> cromagi: thats a commercial site. you dont need commercial tools for android programming.
[01:36] <Ben64> cromagi: nothing there says you need kde
[01:36] <bekks> cromagi: And on the link you just posted I dont see any "xfce or kde is needed" requirements.
[01:36] <cromagi> Well the android studio you get from repositories cannot run virtual devices unless you want to show me how
[01:37] <happyfr0gg> Jordan_U, will I receive updates to the XFCE as they become available?
[01:38] <bekks> cromagi: There is no requirement of xfce or kde for running androidstudio. And "it wont run" is much too vage to be able to help you.
[01:38] <Jordan_U> happyfr0gg: Within releases (with rare exceptions) packages in Ubuntu are only updated for security and bug fixes.
[01:43] <Prinler> Anyone help me with some EXT USB drive issues im running into?
[01:44] <rawks> sup niggas
[01:47] <Jordan_U> rawks: Such language is not acceptable for this channel. Please don't do it again.
[01:48] <rawks> even if im black?
[01:48] <Jordan_U> rawks: Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your mute.
[02:00] <cromagi> hello all
[02:02] <Berto> Hi - I have 12.04.5 LTS and don't want to upgrade. But I keep getting the Hardware Enablement Stack nag every time I log in, even though I upgraded the packages. Why is this?
[02:03] <xangua> Berto: sounds like you are not using a supported kernel
[02:03] <Berto> xangua, I'm using whatever was provided by the official update channel!
[02:04] <xangua> Which is? Berto
[02:04] <Berto> uname -a
[02:04] <Berto> Linux GobbleWave 3.8.0-29-generic #42~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 14 16:19:23 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[02:04] <Nixus> I'm using XFCE and my indicator plugin in my panel isn't transparent. any ideas? my compositor is on.
[02:05] <xangua> Berto: yeah, not supported. You can install the 14.04 enablement stack in precise
[02:05] <Berto> xangua, haha i could just remove /var/lib/update-notifier/hwe-eol
[02:05] <Berto> xangua, not supported?  REally?  What kernel do i have?
[02:06] <xangua> Berto: I believe you have the 13.10 kernel, depends of which point release you installed
[02:06] <Berto> xangua, Thanks for helping, BTW.  This should have come from 12.04LTS updates. I want to stay on this LTS
[02:07] <ni886105> i use kubuntu
[02:09] <Berto> xangua, ahhh, I see, it's not set to RUN as 3.13 ... not sure why.
[02:09] <xangua> Berto: like I said depends of which point release you installed, you can easily search Ubuntu enablement stack on Google and follow the instructions to install the 14.10 enablement stack
[02:10] <Berto> xangua, i have a supported version INSTALLED, but it's still running an older kernel
[02:10] <Berto> xangua, been a decade since i've touched grub. This stuff usually just works :)
[02:10] <cyberfab007> hey fellas, how would pipe the out put of a crone job the command line
[02:11] <xangua> Berto: yes, you are running an unsupported kernel
[02:11] <dupingping> what difference is between 12.04.5 lts and 12.04.4?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> dupingping: Mostly just the install media has more updates.
[02:12] <Nixus> xangua, any answer?
[02:13] <Jordan_U> Berto: Please pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[02:14] <bjrohan> Hi. I have a USB mobile broadband modem from cricket Huawei EC1705. My system will recognize it as a modem, and will try to connect, but never does (it will connect in windows, the service is available), can anyone help?
[02:14] <jay^^> Hi, I'm guessing I'm out of luck, but is there anywhere to get an official copy of firefox_34.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_amd64.deb? archive.ubuntu.com looks like it has some firefox_34 packages, but they won't work on precise because of libc6 deps
[02:14] <Berto> Jordan_U, xangua, http://pastebin.com/PnAFxVPK  -- it's huge!
[02:14] <Berto> Jordan_U, this is on a VPS, so getting into the menu is a bit of a pain but i can do it. I should just nuke these older versions, no?
[02:15] <jay^^> The latest firefox_35.. etc breaks selenium https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=8390
[02:16] <Jordan_U> Berto: The VPS is probably your entire problem. If you're running in a container then you can't upgrade the kernel. It's their responsibility to keep up to date and secure WRT the kernel (though many don't).
[02:16] <Berto> Jordan_U, hmmm maybe your'e right.  I'll find out from them.  Thanks!
[02:16] <Jordan_U> Berto: You're welcome.
[02:20] <hariom> Is there any secure way to share some directory or file system between remote servers (LAN environment but still not fully trusted)
[02:21] <Ben64> sshfs
[02:27] <hariom> Ben64: Could you point to a good turorial to setup this?
[02:27] <Ben64> !sshfs | hariom
[02:31] <cromagi> Is there any way to dev a ubuntu version to run on a ps3 device?
[02:33] <cromagi> The later versions of ps3
[02:33] <Ben64> if they don't have "Other OS" on it, no
[02:34] <cromagi> Where would you even find that
[02:34] <GraemeLion> cromagi: It'd be on boot.
[02:35] <cromagi> I don't think mine has that.
[02:35] <cromagi> I am running version 4.60
[02:36] <GraemeLion> cromagi: It doesn't, and if you played any game any time soon, it was patched out
[02:36] <GraemeLion> er, any time recently
[02:39] <cromagi> I just wish i knew how to downgrade my system without hardware
[02:46] <Nixus> how's xubuntu 14.10 in terms of stability? I might switch to it after some transparency issues.
[02:46] <bihaber> Nixus: don't upgrade to 14.10.  you might lose your gui
[02:48] <Nixus> really? what do you mean?
[02:48] <bubbasaures> bihaber, No fud please
[02:49] <bihaber> Nixus: I upgraded from 14.04. after the upgrade xserver would no longer run.
[02:49] <bubbasaures> bihaber, Not relevant and stop this.
[02:49] <A124> Anyone experienced with aufs or unionfs? I seem not to get it work.
[02:49] <bihaber> Nixus: i'm still trying to recover it and it's likely i'll have to reinstall
[02:51] <Nixus> what happened? did this just happen at random?
[02:51] <bubbasaures> Nixus, You are being fed BS.
[02:51] <Nixus> ok
[02:52] <bihaber> Nixsus: go ahead and try it. hope you don't have same problem
[02:52] <bubbasaures> Nixus, 14.04 & 14.10 are full releases, 14.04 has 5 years support however.
[02:54] <Nixus> I'll give 14.10 shot. this is my netbook that isn't very important for me.
[02:55] <Fun> who here uses sylpheed?
[02:55] <Fun> it says error cant write file when I download emails
[02:55] <Nixus> so I'm fine with doing fresh installs very often, as I don't need very much software
[02:55] <Fun> :D
[02:58] <NNdimethyltrypta> Hey anyone have any experience with adb troubleshooting
[02:59] <NNdimethyltrypta> If I run "adb devices" it just lists ??????????        No permissions
[02:59] <jeffreylevesque> if i install a package, is there a directory it should go into?
[02:59] <GraemeLion> NNdimethyltrypta: You'd probably be better off asking an android dev channel
[03:00] <jeffreylevesque> for example, http://phantomjs.org/download.html
[03:00] <jeffreylevesque> should that binary go into a special ubuntu directory
[03:00] <NNdimethyltrypta> GraemeLion: thanks. Know of any on this server? I don't cone here often
[03:01] <bubbasaures> jeffreylevesque, The general response is ask their developers, not a ubuntu support issue.
[03:01] <GraemeLion> NNdimethyltrypta: I do not sadly
[03:01] <NNdimethyltrypta> GraemeLion: thanks
[03:10] <uroyanme> Where can I find the last place to come forward?
[03:11] <Jordan_U> uroyanme: I don't understand. Could you please rephrase your question?
[03:18] <fizzbooze> my hibernate somehow failed and now i have a corrupted resume image. every time i boot, it hangs trying to resume and i have to pass the 'noresume' option in order for it to boot. how can i delete the bad resume inage?
[03:30] <theRealGent> so the latest updates on ubuntu broke my installation. Any ideas on how I can boot into my system without using Nvidia drivers?
[03:31] <bubbasaures> !nomodeset | theRealGent
[03:31] <bubbasaures> theRealGent, there is also a safex in recovery option.
[03:33] <theRealGent> ive never seen this feature before - i report the system problem and it launches the browser for me with an existing bug.
[03:33] <theRealGent> Quite neat.
[03:34] <nurupo> any idea why syslog calls from C won't write aniything to /var/log/syslog in Trusty Tahr?
[03:35] <nurupo> not to mention that `wc -l /var/log/syslog` is 0
[03:35] <nurupo> the user in question has rsyslog installed
[03:35] <lathiat> nurupo: is it running?
[03:35] <lathiat> and i'd check the permissions on the file, shoudl be syslog:adm
[03:35] <fizzbooze> my hibernate somehow failed and now i have a corrupted resume image. every time i boot, it hangs trying to resume and i have to pass the 'noresume'   │ _KaszpiR_
[03:35] <fizzbooze>                      | option in order for it to boot. how can i delete the bad resume inage?
[03:36] <fizzbooze> sorry bad formatting. i cp'ed my question from earlier
[03:36] <fizzbooze> my hibernate somehow failed and now i have a corrupted resume image. every time i boot, it hangs trying to resume and i have to pass the 'noresume' option in order for it to boot. how can i delete the bad resum image?
[03:36] <lathiat> fizzbooze: at some point it used to be on the swap partition, i am not sure if that is the current state
[03:37] <lathiat> fizzbooze: i would run cat /proc/swaps to see if th eswap is mounted, if not, it might be because it contains the suspend image
[03:37] <nurupo> lathiat: the user says it does
[03:37] <nurupo> lathiat: i mean, it does run
[03:38] <lathiat> nurupo: i'd get output of "service rsyslog status" and "ls -lad /var/log /var/log/syslog"
[03:38] <fizzbooze> lathiat: yup, the swap is mounted
[03:38] <lathiat> fizzbooze: interesting
[03:39] <lathiat> fizzbooze: what ubuntu version?
[03:39] <fizzbooze> 14.04
[03:39] <nurupo> lathiat: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun  9  2014 /var/log/syslog
[03:39] <nurupo> lathiat: is that an issue?
[03:39] <lathiat> nurupo: yeah thats wrong, should be syslog:adm
[03:39] <lathiat> nurupo: i'd check /var/log possibly have other incorrect files
[03:39] <fizzbooze> Linux Desktop 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[03:41] <nurupo> lathiat: does "drwxrwxr-x 17 root syslog 4096 Jan 20 11:00 /var/log" look right?
[03:41] <lathiat> fizzbooze: looks like the swap might still work
[03:41] <lathiat> fizzbooze: i would swapoff, reformat it potentially, check /etc/fstab for additional swaps
[03:41] <lathiat> fizzbooze: https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ubuntu-freeze-no-resume-image/ suggests you may also need to erbuidl initramfs, the UUID also might change and you may need to update /etc/fstab before that
[03:43] <fizzbooze> lathiat: actually, i did follow that guide before coming here. :(
[03:43] <fizzbooze> did exactly what it says but no help :(
[03:43] <lathiat> fizzbooze: when it fails to boot, it seems like it migh tell you what disk image it tries to resume from
[03:43] <lathiat> fizzbooze: http://turbulentsky.com/resume-from-hibernate-failed-on-ubuntu.html talks about the steps i mentioned in more detail
[03:44] <fizzbooze> lathiat: hmm you're right, i never paid attention to the uuid on the resume log. i'll try again and check if it matches the current swap uuid
[03:44] <fizzbooze> thanks
[03:47] <dhooligan> Hey does anyone have any experience with contributing? I'm trying to create my first bug fix and bzr is showing OUT-OF-DATE when I'm downloading the source code
[03:47] <|aaron> i have a bunch of JPGs that i cannot get to open in ubuntu - ive tried a number of different utilities, and they all say the image is corrupt. but they open perfectly fine on windows, mac, or using a web service
[03:47] <nurupo> lathiat: thanks, fixed the issue :)
[03:48] <FrankD> is there a way to remove a package WITHOUT removing its dependencies?
[03:48] <lathiat> FrankD: you can do that manually but generally it'l tend to cause you pain down the road
[03:48] <lathiat> FrankD: what issue are you trying to work around?
[03:48] <FrankD> oh nevermind maybe i just read it wrong
[03:49] <FrankD> i thought it was going to remove all these other packages along with it, but it just says theyll 'be configured'
[03:49] <FrankD> i dont know why it has to remove python *shrug*
[03:50] <lathiat> FrankD: copy and paste the command/entire output and i might be able to clarify for you
[03:50] <FrankD> eh whats done is done, no big deal
[03:50] <lathiat> okie
[03:50] <FrankD> was removing targetcli, it took tcl/tk and a few other things out with it "apt-get purge targetcli"
[03:50] <Guest25917> hello. super-newbie question here... is it a jar file I need to run software on lubuntu? Is it the equiv. of a windows exe file? I'm trying to get http://www.drjava.org/        thanks
[03:51] <lathiat> Guest25917: you need java to run the .jar
[03:51] <jay^^> Jar file should work, you'll need to make sure you have java installed
[03:51] <lathiat> Guest25917: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[03:52] <Guest25917> thanks. I do (JDK) have it. What do I do with the jar file once it's downloaded?
[03:52] <lathiat> Guest25917: does double clicking it work? if not on a command line i think youc an run like: java -jar filename.jar
[03:53] <Guest25917> double clicking does nothing!
[03:54] <Guest25917> Ah, I've extracted it.... now what? How do I install it?  Thanks
[03:55] <jay^^> you don't need to extract jar files
[03:55] <jay^^> if you can find the place you downloaded it in the terminal, the java -jar jarname command should do it
[03:56] <FrankD> ugh i hate the ubuntu installer
[03:56] <FrankD> it created a 64GB swap LV on a 73G drive..
[03:57] <FrankD> what would it have done if i didnt take 64GB of RAM out of this box? :p
[03:57] <bubbasaures> FrankD, Manual install?
[03:57] <FrankD> yeah i just didnt think it would do something quite so silly
[03:57] <FrankD> i shouldve checked :P
[03:57] <bubbasaures> FrankD, your in control it did not. ;)
[03:58] <Guest25917> @jay^^ how can I run it and how will the software appear in the list of software?
[03:59] <pc_> How do I add a new shortcut to show the unity search bar?? And how do i add new search terms for items?
[03:59] <bubbasaures> pc_, the windows key an issue?
[03:59] <pc_> yes
[03:59] <pc_> i hate it
[04:00] <jay^^> It's not a regular ubuntu package so it won't get added to the software list, but you can run it with a command. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[04:00] <Jordan_U> FrankD: If you don't have as much swap as RAM, you won't be able to hibernate when your RAM is fully used. Not claiming that it makes sense for you to have 64 GiB of swap, but giving a little insight into why the decision to make ram as large as swap was made.
[04:01] <Jordan_U> s/ram as large as swap/swap as large as ram/
[04:04] <FrankD> Jordan_U, really? Do people normally hibernate systems with 64-128GB of RAM?
[04:04] <FrankD> :P
[04:04] <FrankD> i know why theyd put that logic in
[04:04] <FrankD> but perhaps some extra sanity checks like 'hey your swap is over 50% of your disk space -- do you want this?' might be a good idea
[04:05] <FrankD> fuck today was my first day of classes, didnt get to do shit
[04:05] <pc_> anybody know how to change the eclipse popup backgrounds to white?
[04:09] <daftykins> !language | FrankD This is not a chat channel and that language is inappropriate here
[04:09] <mojtaba> Hi, has anybody used Grive? (Google Drive) How can I find if adding its ppa is safe or not?
[04:09] <mojtaba> http://askubuntu.com/questions/544646/how-to-install-google-drive-on-ubuntu-14-04
[04:10] <sahul> Hello?
[04:10] <daftykins> hi
[04:10] <pc_> hi
[04:10] <uroyanme> hi
[04:10] <pc_> im an expert ubuntu user, ask me anything
[04:11] <sahul> I have a touchscreen that i have recently installed xubuntu on. How can i make the touchscreen work. I mean as far as pinch and to rotate the screen for me?
[04:12] <pc_> you need to install UBUNTU not xubuntu
[04:13] <uroyanme> pc: why?
[04:13] <pc_> it's superior
[04:13] <pc_> for best experience, you always have to use Ubuntu with Nvidia and INTEL
[04:14] <sahul> Xfce desktop for the win
[04:14] <uroyanme> asci >
[04:15] <sahul> My screen does recognize touches as mouse clicks and i have an on screen keyboard. Bu
[04:15] <sahul> But i know that ubuntu does not offer a solution either so i will stick with xubuntu for now.
[04:16] <pc_> sorry but if you dont use the original ubuntu experience, we cant help you here. I know I cant
[04:17] <uroyanme> pc: Why is it superior?
[04:17] <daftykins> pc_: that is complete rubbish and not channel policy. please do not lie to users.
[04:17] <uroyanme> so, is it not superior?
[04:17] <daftykins> there is no 'better' - just what works for you.
[04:18] <mojtaba> Hi, has anybody used Grive? (Google Drive) How can I find if adding its ppa is safe or not? http://askubuntu.com/questions/544646/how-to-install-google-drive-on-ubuntu-14-04
[04:18] <pc_> sorry but that's just wrong. For example clearly Ubuntu is better than TempleOS
[04:18] <uroyanme> ok, what is the best, after the preferred then? I don't want to start a fight.
[04:18] <daftykins> uroyanme: then stop asking
[04:19] <daftykins> pc_: other distros are off topic here.
[04:19] <uroyanme> daftykins: ok.
[04:19] <daftykins> mojtaba: all PPAs are at your own risk. no support here.
[04:20] <daftykins> you make the call :)
[04:20] <uroyanme> daftykins: I think this is on topic, but am not sure.. I'll risk it.  What is the best, under a 100$ tablet to buy that will accept a verious of ubuntu?
[04:20] <pc_> surface pro 3
[04:20] <daftykins> nope OS support only here, not hardware purchases.
[04:20] <daftykins> try ##hardware
[04:20] <pc_> although its slightly over 100$ it hink
[04:20] <uroyanme> daftykins: THANKS
[04:20] <mojtaba> daftykins: How can I make sure it is safe or not?
[04:21] <pc_>  you have to read the source code
[04:21] <uroyanme> what two #?
[04:21] <daftykins> mojtaba: just told you it's unsupported here. that means not relevant to us
[04:21] <mojtaba> daftykins: Do u know where can I get the answer?
[04:22] <daftykins> use your best judgement.
[04:27] <eldonkr_> is this the channel where I ask help if I'm having an issue with Ubuntu? It's been a few years since I was on here.
[04:27] <bubbasaures> yah sure you betcha eldonkr_
[04:32] <eldonkr_> I preface this by saying I'm not a Linux noob, I used Ubuntu and toyed with other distros for a number of years and then kind of just stopped using computers altogether, now that I have a laptop again, and put 1404 on it I'm a little rusty
[04:33] <eldonkr_> Anyway, I got the gnome PPAs the other day, I don't know why,it was on the list of suggested things to grab after a fresh install.
[04:33] <k1ng> i dont like the new gnome.
[04:33] <eldonkr_> today I open my terminal to get f.lux and I notice that my terminal background isn't transparent anymore, and I can't change it back
[04:33] <eldonkr_> and i don't like that
[04:34] <eldonkr_> small nag, but how do I switch it back to the default unity terminal
[04:34] <eldonkr_> I already removed the gnometeam PPAs
[04:34] <eldonkr_> did not work
[04:34] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, did you purge them?
[04:34] <eldonkr_> ....n-no...
[04:34] <bubbasaures> !ppa-purge | eld
[04:34] <eldonkr_> just opened themenu, clicked, clicked remove
[04:35] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, repos add stuff ppa's are third party, removing without a purge leaves there packages installed.
[04:37] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, what terminal do you see with ctrl+alt+t
[04:37] <eldonkr_> bubbasaures, so if I remove them from the menu it just stops showing up on the PPA menu?
[04:38] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, Can you say which menu you removed with? and answer the last question.
[04:39] <bubbasaures> was the menu in software & updates?
[04:42] <eldonkr_> bubbasaures hang on, just threw laptop, thought kid was developing a peanut allergy all of a sudden
[04:43] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_,  understandable, no problem
[04:44] <eldonkr_> bubbasaures, launch terminal, click "about" see GNOME terminal, second question, clicked software icon in system settings, went to whatever tab shows you the list of PPAs, clicked on the ones from gnometeam and clicked remove
[04:45] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, So just removing the ppa's means they will not be called now on an update/upgrade, however you may have packages from them installed, you ca reload them than run the purge to get rid of it all.
[04:46] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, I did not finish your nick on the bots message, the purge is above if needed.
[04:47] <eldonkr_> bubbasaures, my thing is, now that I know about ppa purge, how do I know what to tell the terminal since I already removed the PPAs from the list on that tab and therefore have no point of reference
[04:47] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, You load them back like you originally did.
[04:49] <bubbasaures> find the web page of the need to add to ubuntu, or you can search with ppa in it and reference what it was if you can remember. THis is all info I'm not saying you have to do anything, but what you have done has left you with.
[04:49] <eldonkr_> I'll have to hunt from that blog again
[04:50] <eldonkr_> TO THE WEB HISTORY!!!
[04:50] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, I think most I would guess are not fond of thise sort of blogs, as ppa's are not supported here is all.
[04:52] <eldonkr_> It was called how to ubuntu, it had terminal commands for how to add thigns like vlc and skype and gimp and flash and whatnot
[04:53] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, Ubuntu has a lot of wiki's, I would stick with those in general.
[04:53] <arunangshu> "make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2" what this error means
[04:54] <bubbasaures> all those mentioned have a wiki
[04:54] <arunangshu> and how to slove it
[04:55] <eldonkr_> fuuuuuuuuuuck, it's not showing up in my history
[04:56] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, world wide web, many cultures and ethnicity's here at any time, think about what words you use.
[04:57] <arunangshu> "make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2" what this error means
[04:57] <eldonkr_> my bad
[04:57] <bubbasaures> it happens, no biggie
[04:58] <bubbasaures> eldonkr_, run history in the terminal
[04:58] <eldonkr_> thats a thing?
[04:59] <bubbasaures> yep bash history, doe not show everything run but worth a try

[06:06] <mutual> i'm trying to compile miro from source because apparently there is no backport for version 6.0
[06:07] <mutual> and i'm getting "warning: ‘pts’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/libavformat/avformat.h:719)"
[06:07] <cfhowlett> mutual, unlikely there are any miro experts here.  contact the packager
[06:08] <mutual> cfhowlett, i thought it was a gcc issue but ok
[06:08] <mutual> cfhowlett, this source is from 2013 which is why i ask
[06:12] <basichash> Anyone know how to control spotify with my iphone?
[06:13] <nightcast87> hello everyone, i was having some problems getting ubuntu to install, i was wondering if there was anyone here could help me out
[06:14] <basichash> nightcast87: what's the problem?
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: ask your issue mate
[06:14] <nightcast87> well, i just built a new PC with an intel core i5 4690k 16gbs of ram and an nvidia geforce gtx 970 connected through display port
[06:14] <nightcast87> i cant get ubuntu to post past the splash screen
[06:15] <nightcast87> the screen just goes all black and sits there
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: do you know if that card uses optimus?
[06:15] <nightcast87> im not sure what optimus is, i know that this is a gsync monitor
[06:16] <nightcast87> but it has no problems displaying with standard vsync and its connected through display port, i have no hdmi ports on this monitor
[06:16] <nightcast87> all it shows on the screen is a blinking cursor after the ubuntu splash screen
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | nightcast87 try this maybe
[06:17] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: is this an uefi machine?
[06:17] <nightcast87> lotusspychje> yes
[06:17] <nightcast87> ubottu> i will check out the link
[06:17] <nightcast87> oh, lol
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: did you check if secureboot + fastboot is disabled in bios?
[06:18] <nightcast87> yes, they are both disabled an the os option is set to other os
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> kk
[06:18] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: also check that card for optimus
[06:20] <nightcast87> lotuspsychje> i dont believe it has optimus,
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: then you then the prime package
[06:21] <nightcast87> this is the technology to switch from onboard to dedicated correct?
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> !info nvidia-prime | nightcast87
[06:22] <nightcast87> i cannot install packages, i cannot even see the command line
[06:22] <nightcast87> only a blinking cursor
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: try to enter terminal on grub/recoverymode
[06:22] <nightcast87> nothing else
[06:22] <nightcast87> lotuspsyche> will do
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: so you installed ubuntu, rebooted and got just a blink cursor?
[06:23] <nightcast87> no,
[06:23] <nightcast87> i burned the image to a disc, i then proceeded to boot from disc
[06:23] <nightcast87> once the initial splash screen is displayed for a few seconds everything goes black
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> ah you cant even install
[06:24] <nightcast87> i can hear the ubuntu startup sound, but no login screen
[06:24] <nightcast87> only a blinking cursor
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: try F1 at the boot process and choose nomodeset from the options there
[06:24] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: wich version of ubuntu?
[06:25] <nightcast87> i have both 4.04.1 64bit and 4.10
[06:25] <nightcast87> which version do you recommend?
[06:25] <ablest1980> 14.04 lts
[06:25] <nightcast87> 14.04.1 and 14.10
[06:25] <nightcast87> okay
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> trusty indeed as ablest1980 suggests
[06:26] <Sebastian> hello guys
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: try the nomodeset, on 14.04 with internet + updates enabled during setup
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> Sebastian: welcome
[06:26] <nightcast87> i will try the nomodeset options, i am dualbooting so i must logoff and try these things out, i will return shortly
[06:26] <nightcast87> thank you
[06:26] <nightcast87> for your help
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> no sweat
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> we also suggest single boot :p
[06:27] <ablest1980> :)
[06:27] <nightcast87> that is the goal here, but for now i need to ensure i can utilise my system fully in the ubuntu environment, i love ubuntu :)
[06:27] <nightcast87> thanks guys
[06:27] <nightcast87> i will return
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> great
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> good luck mate

[07:03] <bobdobbs> hey guys. I'm going through hell trying to install mysql on ubuntu 14.04
[07:03] <somsip> bobdobbs: and what does this hell consist of exactly?
[07:03] <bobdobbs> I keep getting this error: https://pastee.org/9zy82
[07:03] <somsip> bobdobbs: have you tried to reset the password?
[07:03] <bobdobbs> like, this message gets presented after I provide a mysql root user password
[07:04] <somsip> bobdobbs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset
[07:04] <bobdobbs> wouldn't I need to actually install mysql before I reset the root user's password though?
[07:05] <somsip> bobdobbs: the eror message implies this is dying on post-install. So tell us more
[07:06] <bobdobbs> well, first I run 'apt-get install mysql-server-5.5'. When that command runs, I get presented by the prompt to create the root mysql users passwd...
[07:06] <bobdobbs> so I enter the passwd, and then that error is returned
[07:06] <bobdobbs> that's about all their is to it
[07:07] <somsip> bobdobbs: is there an existing install of mysql-server?
[07:07] <bobdobbs> no
[07:07] <somsip> bobdobbs: then follow the instructions in the mysqlpasswordreset link and purge then reinstall
[07:08] <bobdobbs> ok. I'll do that.
[07:08] <somsip> bobdobbs: so the bit under the section starting "Another way, purge"
[07:08] <bobdobbs> right. I'll do that
[07:09] <pacoS> SEO
[07:10] <bobdobbs> somsip: the second step under that failed: again I was asked to provide a root user password. After I did, I got the same error message
[07:10] <bobdobbs> then the normal prompt comes back with some dpkg errors. I'll pastebin them...
[07:11] <somsip> bobdobbs: purge, then make sure any mysql folders in /etc and /lib are removed, then reinstall
[07:11] <bobdobbs> https://pastee.org/kkxpw
[07:11] <bobdobbs> ok
[07:12] <somsip> bobdobbs: actually, looks like you didn't purge mysql-server-5.5 from that error message
[07:12] <Guest25917> hello. Can anyone help me install processing on my computer. I'm running lubuntu. The file is a tgz file
[07:12] <bobdobbs> somsip: interesting
[07:12] <somsip> bobdobbs: lines 53-55
[07:12] <somsip> and 45
[07:12] <bobdobbs> ok, I just purged again, and removed /etc/mysql
[07:12] <Guest25917> I'm very confused and have no idea what to do... only my 2nd day with *nix
[07:12] <Guest25917> Thank you
[07:12] <somsip> bobdobbs:and /var/lib/mysql if its there
[07:12] <bobdobbs> k
[07:12] <somsip> Guest25917: give some details of what you want to do
[07:13] <bobdobbs> somsip: yeah, that dir existed. nuked now.
[07:13] <somsip> bobdobbs: it may have been confused by you specifying 5.5 previously. That is current, but maybe something barfed
[07:13] <bobdobbs> somsip: k, I'll cross my fingers and try again...
[07:13] <Guest25917> I want to install and run processing (from processing.org). I have downloaded and extracted the file but have no idea what to do next.
[07:14] <bobdobbs> hey! it accepted a passwd and returned without error!
[07:14] <bobdobbs> w00t!
[07:14] <bobdobbs> thanks somsip!
[07:14] <somsip> bobdobbs: no probs
[07:14] <MACscr> is there anyway to assign interfaces/ip's by mac address in the network/interfaces file or are we forced to use udev to assign the interfaces, then assign ip's to the interfaces in the interfaces file?
[07:15] <MACscr> ive had my custom interface names rewritten that i had in the 70-persistent-net file and its a bit annoying
[07:15] <MACscr> more frustrating as it throws off my network configs
[07:16] <somsip> Guest25917: maybe a little out of date, but this may help http://paulhertz.net/factory/2014/06/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-install-processing/
[07:16] <somsip> Guest25917: alternative: http://ryan-david-hartman.blogspot.com/2013/03/installing-processing-on-ubuntu-or-mint.html
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> Guest25917: https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/FAQ
[07:17] <lotuspsychje> MACscr: macchanger is usefull for your scenario?
[07:18] <MACscr> never heard of it. i dont need to change my mac addresses. I just need static interface names per mac address
[07:18] <lotuspsychje> MACscr: maybe the ##networking guys might know more of that
[07:19] <MACscr> maybe, but its a bit ubuntu specific
[07:20] <tournalies> Hi
[07:20] <SiegeX> need to install a vnc on my VPS, anybody know the diff between 'xtightvncserver' and 'tightvncserver'?
[07:20] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: be carefull with vnc servers, its a danger to use
[07:21] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: vps runs ubuntu?
[07:21] <SiegeX> yes
[07:21] <SiegeX> what is the suggested way to get a desktop? X11 forwarding ?
[07:21] <lotuspsychje> !vnc | SiegeX
[07:22] <tournalies> http://foreskin-restoration.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20513
[07:22] <somsip> tournalies: take it elsewhere - not here
[07:22] <SiegeX> lotuspsychje: thanks
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: maybe ssh can get your work done too?
[07:22] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: or single use teamviewer for ubuntu
[07:23] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: but i would not suggest any remote software 24/7 running
[07:24] <SiegeX> I do 99% of my admin'ing over CLI SSH but would like to see what the desktop looks like.  This is my first time using Ubuntu
[07:24] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: for single use, you can teamviewer it
[07:25] <SiegeX> so that what, creates a one time pad to encrypt the session and gets tossed after its used once?
[07:26] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: no i mean, use it once time then uninstall never let it run while your away
[07:27] <SiegeX> how about binding VNC to localhost and then just tunneling the port over my SSH connection so that my local client can get to it and others cant
[07:27] <SiegeX> or is that what that link you sent me says to do?
[07:27] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: vnc over ssh tunnel is 'safer', but still i would be suprised if they can explit that too these days
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: remote software is always a security risk, try fail2ban for ssh
[07:28] <lotuspsychje> !info fail2ban | SiegeX
[07:29] <SiegeX> I saw that recently, I created something similar in the past with just pure iptables rules via the 'recent' match. which reminds me to see if that is installed
[07:29] <SiegeX> but fail2ban is better because it seems to outright block an offending IP for all connections if they misbehave on 22 or whatever
[07:30] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: you must look at it this way: ther are many others who wanna take advantage of 24/7 servers like vps, so dont leave ports open to it
[07:30] <somsip> SiegeX: no - they are only blocked for the rule they break. EG: trigger on 80, can still connect on 22
[07:31] <SiegeX> oh, well in that case its no different than my rules with the recent match
[07:31] <somsip> SiegeX: maybe configurable to what you say, but be default it's as I said above
[07:31] <somsip> *by
[07:33] <SiegeX> this is what i currently do in my script if you guys can decipher iptables rules: http://pastebin.com/cpiDt7Zw
[07:34] <SiegeX> it basically if you hit ports 21,22 or 23 more than twice in 15 seconds you get dropped until 15 seconds pass without a new connection
[07:35] <lotuspsychje> thats kind of what fail2bans does no?
[07:36] <SiegeX> I thought it did more stuff but looks like it.  Maybe it has the capability to do more with some extra config
[07:36] <SiegeX> but this has the advantage of not needing another program to run, its built into iptables
[07:37] <SiegeX> ...assuming the recent match was compiled in
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: yep its recomended to have iptables next to it
[07:37] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/MANUAL_0_8
[07:38] <SiegeX> and it looks like it is, at least for ubuntu 14.10
[07:39] <SiegeX> " 	Duration (in seconds) for IP to be banned for. Negative number for "permanent" ban. "
[07:39] <SiegeX> thats from that manual link
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> yep
[07:40] <SiegeX> that is the benefit of fail2ban that just pure iptables cant do
[07:40] <lotuspsychje> and some nice logs
[07:40] <SiegeX> i cant perm ban the ip, it just falls off after X seconds
[07:41] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: this way you can see how much hammering it gets, imagine the same on your vps
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: this one is interesting: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2271/how-to-harden-an-ssh-server
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: anymore luck mate?
[07:43] <nightcast87> none
[07:43] <SiegeX> $ grep "Jan 20.*BRUTE.*DPT=22" /var/log/ulogd.pktlog | wc -l
[07:43] <SiegeX> 460
[07:43] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: same error on usb now?
[07:43] <SiegeX> thats on my current system that I'm about to move to a VPS.
[07:43] <nightcast87> yes
[07:44] <SiegeX> so yea, 460 brute force attempts a day on SSH
[07:44] <nightcast87> i tried different ports, HDMI, Display Port, DVI
[07:44] <nightcast87> i tried different monitors
[07:44] <nightcast87> nothing
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: i would doublecheck bios settings again, maybe there's something you forgot?
[07:44] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: makes no sense trusty wont install
[07:44] <nightcast87> what should i look for the in the bios?
[07:44] <nightcast87> i have checked everything and it all is normal for linux operation
[07:45] <nightcast87> i have been using ubuntu off and on for years and i have never encountered this issue
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: this issue really sounds like fastboot is still enabled
[07:45] <nightcast87> i will double check
[07:45] <nightcast87> brb
[07:45] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: thats lot :p
[07:47] <SiegeX> actually, its a bit inflated because that does not account for unique IP's, just attempts. lets see how much from unique ip's...
[07:47] <lotuspsychje> SiegeX: lets stick to the actual ubuntu issues mate
[07:49] <nightcast87> fastboot is disabled
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: hmm
[07:49] <nightcast87> windows 8 features is set to other os
[07:49] <nightcast87> bios mode is UEFI+Legacy
[07:49] <lotuspsychje> !uefi > nightcast87 read this guide for dualboot w8
[07:50] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: maybe there's soething fighting with w8 still
[07:50] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: have you been able to boot into the live mode on usb?
[07:53] <SiegeX> $ awk '/Jan 20.*BRUTE/ && !a[$10]++' /var/log/ulogd.pktlog | wc -l
[07:53] <SiegeX> 43
[07:53] <nightcast87> checking guide one sec
[07:53] <SiegeX> much better than 460....ok only ubuntu now
[07:54] <somsip> SiegeX: for whose benefit are you posting these stats?
[07:54] <SiegeX> the benefit for others is mostly in the scripting
[07:54] <SiegeX> tbh
[07:54] <SiegeX> stats for me
[07:54] <somsip> SiegeX: so, offtopic here then?
[07:55] <nightcast87> okay, it appears i had faststart on which is a feature inside of windows that prevents me from installing ubuntu
[07:55] <nightcast87> i have now disabled it
[07:55] <nightcast87> i will be right back, will try installing again
[07:55] <SiegeX> somsip: not sure, are bash questions sent elsewhere generally?
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: good luck
[07:56] <somsip> SiegeX: If you have questions, fair enough. But we don't really care how many SSH attempts you have on yours server
[07:57] <SiegeX> fair enough.
[07:57] <SiegeX> here is an on topic question. how do I use dpkg or apt-get to give me a more description of a package?
[07:58] <somsip> SiegeX: apt-cache show {package} might help you
[07:59] <SiegeX> thats exactly what I was looking for, thanks
[08:01] <xanthine> http://i.imgur.com/KsI0z2g.png what command do i do in terminal to do what its asking
[08:01] <somsip> xanthine: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdev setup
[08:02] <xanthine> ty
[08:02] <xanthine> command not found
[08:03] <somsip> xanthine: typo - I think it should be vboxdrv
[08:03] <xanthine> ok
[08:06] <nightcast87> still no luck :(
[08:06] <nightcast87> i think im giving up for now
[08:06] <nightcast87> ive been at this for hours
[08:06] <nightcast87> cant find any solution
[08:07] <nightcast87> this is the hardest time i have ever had with ubuntu
[08:07] <nightcast87> :(
[08:07] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: make your life easy and single install ubuntu :p
[08:08] <nightcast87> there is no possible way to even get to the installer
[08:08] <nightcast87> it just hangs with a black screen
[08:08] <nightcast87> i cant single install even if i wanted to
[08:09] <nightcast87> the installer wont start
[08:09] <nightcast87> i cant see anything
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> doesnt make sense, how many grafix cards you got?
[08:09] <nightcast87> it just hangs after splash screen
[08:09] <nightcast87> just one
[08:09] <nightcast87> my gtx 970
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: try the nomodeset F1 and choose livemode from there maybe
[08:10] <nightcast87> i have tried that
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> hmmm
[08:10] <nightcast87> many times
[08:10] <nightcast87> im stuck :(
[08:11] <nightcast87> i think my machine is just too new
[08:11] <nightcast87> its not supported by ubuntu
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> i never seen a machine that cant install ubuntu on yet
[08:11] <nightcast87> neither have i
[08:11] <nightcast87> until now
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: maybe nomodeset and no_acpi aswell
[08:12] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset > nightcast87
[08:12] <somsip> nightcast87: what is your machine?
[08:13] <lotuspsychje> somsip: he's trying to dualboot w8/ubuntu 14.04 on uefi
[08:13] <nightcast87> intel core i5 4690k with a gigabyte h1.Sniper, geforce gtx 970, corsair force lx ssd
[08:14] <brokerage1> ....
[08:14] <nightcast87> mainboard is gigabyte g1.sniper h6
[08:15] <nightcast87> sorry i just put it together
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: w8 already works on your ssd right?
[08:15] <nightcast87> dont have all components memorized
[08:15] <somsip> nightcast87: should be fine. But as lotuspysche says, you have a juggling act to get right with uefi. I swapped to a z97 mobo yesterday and once uefi was disabled it was fine. No dualboot here though
[08:15] <nightcast87> yes i am on windows 8.1 as we speak
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: did you change IDE to AHCI for ssd?
[08:16] <nightcast87> i am not attempting to install to my ssd
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> ok
[08:16] <nightcast87> i have a 4tb hdd i have for ubuntu
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: maybe doublecheck sata cables and sata bios layout perhaps
[08:16] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: something is blocking the ubuntu install
[08:17] <nightcast87> windows is detecting the 4tb drive as fully working and functional
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: try unplug the 4tb and test to ssd only, just to see what happens
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: i remember having freeze on a large hd WD on ubuntu once
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> ok breakfast here
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> nightcast87: somsip and EriC^^ will help you further here
[08:22] <nightcast87> im running out of ideas :(
[08:23] <gianni1> have problems installng nvidia 346.35 drivers
[08:23] <EriC^^> nightcast87: what's up?
[08:23] <somsip> nightcast87: I'd like to, but I have no experience of dual booting W8 and was just happy that my new mobo disabled uefi and played happily with my existing install of ubuntu. I have no other advice to give
[08:23] <gianni1> something wrong with characters
[08:24] <nightcast87> i cannot get ubuntu past the initial install splash screen
[08:24] <nightcast87> the screen blacks out and shows nothing
[08:24] <nightcast87> i have disabled fastboot in w8, i have set bios to other os and set the bios mode to uefi+legacy
[08:24] <EriC^^> nightcast87: did you try booting with nomodeset nosplash verbose ?
[08:24] <nightcast87> i still cannot get ubuntu to get to the installation screen
[08:25] <nightcast87> i have tried nomodeset
[08:25] <nightcast87> i will try the other two
[08:25] <EriC^^> nightcast87: ok, try removing quiet splash, and put nosplash verbose
[08:25] <EriC^^> with nomodeset, and see what it says
[08:26] <nightcast87> thank you
[08:26] <nightcast87> brb
[08:26] <nightcast87> will try now
[08:26] <EriC^^> ok
[08:34] <AndChat|412596> No luck
[08:35] <XTREME-H> hey can i ask how to install vmware?
[08:35] <nightcast87> still no luck
[08:36] <EriC^^> nightcast87: did it say anything?
[08:36] <nightcast87> it simply hangs after displaying ubuntu 14.04 with the four dots on the bottom
[08:36] <nightcast87> i didnt see any errors
[08:36] <nightcast87> after it is done loading i can hear the ubuntu boot sound
[08:37] <nightcast87> but i cant see anything on the screen
[08:37] <nightcast87> i have tried all of the different ports on the back of my video card
[08:37] <nightcast87> and different monitors
[08:39] <nightcast87> they all go black after the loading screen
[08:39] <EriC^^> nightcast87: ok, so you've already installed ubuntu?
[08:39] <XTREME-H> hey can i ask how to install vmware?
[08:39] <__jump__> XTREME-H, grab the binary off their site?
[08:40] <XTREME-H> can i do it with terminal??
[08:40] <Nindustries> HI, I'm trying to setup a VPN connection to my work using openconnect. We are supposed to connect using a certificate. I set my .cert file for "User cert", but I get "no certificate found in file". Suggestions?
[08:42] <nightcast87> i just dont understand...
[08:42] <nightcast87> windows 8.1 is working flawlessly
[08:42] <nightcast87> all of my hardware is running perfectly...
[08:42] <nightcast87> i just want to boot so i can install ubuntu... :(
[08:44] <Agusanz> nightcast87
[08:44] <Agusanz> you're trying to install ubuntu on a laptop?
[08:44] <Agusanz> which uses windows 8 and doesn't allow you to boot up ubuntu?
[08:44] <nightcast87> no, it is a desktop i built
[08:45] <Agusanz> still
[08:45] <Agusanz> check if your motherboard has UEFI bios on it
[08:46] <EriC^> nightcast87: sorry, i got dc
[08:46] <EriC^> nightcast87: so ubuntu is already installed? the live usb was working fin?
[08:46] <nightcast87> i have already set the bios to other os and changed the bios mode to uefi+legacy
[08:46] <nightcast87> i have also disabled fastboot
[08:46] <__jump__> did you install windows after installing ubuntu?
[08:47] <Agusanz> hum...
[08:47] <brx_> can notify-send do a persistent notification?
[08:47] <Agusanz> i know there's some kernel incompatibility with uefi bios
[08:47] <__jump__> windows kinda plays bully with the mbr so it might have overwritten ubuntu's entry
[08:47] <Agusanz> but i think it's fixed on the 13.04 desktop version
[08:48] <EriC^> nightcast87: it's a graphics issue most likely
[08:48] <EriC^> nightcast87: 3rd time, is ubuntu already installed? was the live usb working fine?
[08:48] <nightcast87> jump> i once after the ubuntu 14.04 loading screen the display just stays black
[08:48] <nightcast87> ubuntu is not already installed
[08:49] <nightcast87> it still hangs after the ubuntu 14.04 screen
[08:49] <nightcast87> i cannot install
[08:49] <nightcast87> it wont go that far
[08:49] <EriC^> nightcast87: ok which graphics card do you have?
[08:49] <nightcast87> i have a geforce gtx 970
[08:50] <nightcast87> to clarify* the system doesnt hang, i can hear the ubuntu startup sound, but nothing is displayed on the screen
[08:50] <hateball> nightcast87: you need the PPA or binary driver from nvidia for the 970
[08:50] <nightcast87> i have tried different monitors
[08:51] <Agusanz> have you tried turning it off and on again?
[08:51] <Agusanz> xD
[08:51] <nightcast87> i have tried all of the different ports
[08:51] <nightcast87> hateball> i cannot install drivers, i cant even install ubuntu
[08:52] <hateball> nightcast87: can you press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a tty?
[08:52] <hateball> nightcast87: ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to the blank screen
[08:52] <hateball> where X is
[08:52] <hateball> if you hear a startup sound, then surely Ubuntu is installed :)
[08:52] <Agusanz> "display just stays black"
[08:53] <nightcast87> i cant see anything
[08:53] <nightcast87> everything stays black
[08:53] <Agusanz> omg, you're blind now?
[08:53] <nightcast87> lol
[08:53] <hateball> ah, not already installed. Missed that part
[08:53] <nightcast87> im guessing ubuntu isnt compatible with my motherboard
[08:53] <hateball> I guess you could try booting with nomodeset (press F6) on the language choice menu
[08:54] <hateball> nightcast87: well you get as far as you see the keyboard icon before it tries to boot?
[08:54] <nightcast87> hateball> i have tried nomodeset, nosplash and verbose,
[08:54] <hateball> ugh
[08:54] <hateball> nightcast87: 14.10 is not an option?
[08:54] <nightcast87> i can see the screen where it asks for the keyboard language
[08:55] <nightcast87> i can change the boot options,
[08:55] <nightcast87> anything past that and the screen just goes black
[08:55] <hateball> nightcast87: so even if you remove splash and quiet, nothing displays?
[08:55] <hateball> how odd
[08:56] <nightcast87> yes, i think the motherboard is not supported
[08:57] <nightcast87> gigabyte g1.sniper h6
[08:57] <nightcast87> i dont think its supported
[08:57] <hateball> nightcast87: well you could try grabbing 14.10 if that's an option
[08:57] <nightcast87> that is my only possible guess
[08:57] <nightcast87> hateball> i have tried that :(
[08:58] <hateball> nightcast87: and UEFI is fully updated etc?
[08:58] <nightcast87> 14.10 gave an error that said unknown chipset
[08:58] <nightcast87> im sure its the motherboard
[08:58] <nightcast87> thats the only thing it could be
[08:59] <nightcast87> it works flawlessly with windows but i guess not ubuntu
[08:59] <hateball> suppose if you've got time to spare you could try a nightly 15.04 that has newer kernel
[08:59] <nightcast87> isnt it very unstable though?
[08:59] <hateball> Yes, that is to be expected
[08:59] <nightcast87> :(
[08:59] <hateball> I'm just suggesting it to see if the kernel supports your hardware. Then you can come back to it
[09:00] <EriC^> nightcast87: did you checksum the iso?
[09:00] <levo> i booted ubuntu using live usb stick, but it can start X server, showing out of frequency message on the monitor
[09:00] <levo> ^ it CANT
[09:00] <nightcast87> i need to take a break, ive literally been at this for hours
[09:00] <nightcast87> brb
[09:09] <akaWolf> hello! can I trust to that rep? https://launchpad.net/~mgrocock/+archive/ubuntu/bind9
[09:09] <mine> h
[09:10] <mine> hello
[09:10] <mine> guys any one can help in playing the game
[09:10] <mine> need for speed most wanted
[09:10] <ikonia> akaWolf: talk the person who maintains it
[09:10] <ikonia> akaWolf: bind is in the ubuntu repos, so don't know why you want a PPA
[09:11] <akaWolf> ikonia: I need a bind 9.10
[09:11] <ikonia> why ?
[09:12] <hateball> !wine | mine
[09:12] <akaWolf> ikonia: becouse there is first version, where "prefetch" is come
[09:12] <akaWolf> prefetch option
[09:12] <ikonia> akaWolf: fair enough, then it's up to you if you want to trust that repo
[09:13] <mine> ok
[09:14] <akaWolf> ikonia: well, another question: where can I find a new, 9.10 version of bind in the original Ubuntu repositories?
[09:14] <akaWolf> when*
[09:14] <ikonia> I don't believe it exists
[09:14] <akaWolf> sorry, when*
[09:14] <ikonia> I don't see anything as late as 9.10
[09:14] <ikonia> you probably won't see this appear in the current distro
[09:14] <mine> which is the best linux for 1gb ram
[09:14] <mine> ?
[09:14] <ikonia> most likley in future releases
[09:15] <mine> which is best
[09:15] <mine> linux
[09:16] <akaWolf> ikonia: but there is exists a possibility to use a new version from old release (trusty)?
[09:16] <ikonia> akaWolf: I would suspect not,
[09:16] <mine> y
[09:16] <akaWolf> ikonia: sad...
[09:16] <mine> would u like to tell
[09:16] <akaWolf> ikonia: well, I can do dist-upgrade, at least
[09:17] <ikonia> akaWolf: why would that help ?
[09:17] <mine> wats this alll ikonia
[09:17] <akaWolf> ikonia: in the future, when 9.10 version is come.
[09:17] <mine> no response
[09:18] <ikonia> akaWolf: a dist-upgrade won't install it
[09:18] <ikonia> akaWolf: you are very unlikley to get 9.10 in the current release
[09:19] <mine> arei kya toh bhi hai yaar
[09:19] <mine> koyi bhi nahi reply karrai
[09:19] <akaWolf> ikonia: hm.. I thought, that I can upgrade from trusty to another long-term release with all packages upgrade
[09:19] <ikonia> mine: English please
[09:19] <ikonia> akaWolf: dist-upgrade does not upgrade to a new release
[09:19] <mine> what ikonia
[09:19] <ikonia> mine: English only in this channel
[09:19] <mine> can u suggest best linux distro
[09:20] <levo> i want to install ubuntu 14.04 but i get out of frequency message on my CRT monitor. i did #stopx , X -configure, cp config_file /etc/X11/config_file  but no success.  Note: it shows the install options at first, then i chose try ubuntu, then it shows the loading screen but after that i get the frequency thing
[09:20] <mine> which is perfect for 1 gb ram
[09:20] <ikonia> levo: the file is called xorg.conf not config_file
[09:20] <akaWolf> ikonia: well, then "do-release-upgrade" do the trick
[09:20] <ikonia> akaWolf: then the next LTS release comes out in a few years
[09:20] <DJones> mine: You're asking in the #ubuntu channel, so we'll recommend an official ubuntu variant, for 1gb ram, I'd suggest looking at lubuntu or xubuntu
[09:21] <levo> ikonia: yes i know
[09:21] <ikonia> levo: if you know, why did you copy it to the wrong file name
[09:21] <levo> ikonia: i did correctly actually, just didn't cross my mind at the moment
[09:21] <levo> ikonia: but i did it correctly
[09:21] <akaWolf> ikonia: ok, all clear, thanks.
[09:24] <mine> on lubuntu we need to install or we should plaay games with open files
[09:24] <levo> ikonia: no idea?
[09:26] <mine> so all r onine
[09:27] <mine> what this channel talk about
[09:27] <mine> no response
[09:27] <mine> i am using lubuntu
[09:27] <mine> whether i can play games or not
[09:27] <mine> plzzz response frnds
[09:28] <Tachikomas> what is your problem ?
[09:28] <mine> i want to play league of legends
[09:28] <Tachikomas> League of legends have a linux client ?
[09:28] <mine> no idea
[09:29] <mine> or any game such as need for speed most wanted
[09:29] <Tachikomas> i will not install it for you man... but take a look of it.
[09:29] <Industrial> What is the name (commandline) of the application used in ubuntu to manage volumes? I don't know the name and I need to start it from a terminal.
[09:29] <mine> how to play games on linux
[09:29] <Industrial> (audio volumes)
[09:29] <Tachikomas> If you want to play windows game on linux, look on wine.
[09:29] <Industrial> Google only gives me results of people looking for the icon :(
[09:29] <oddeyed> mine, Tachikomas: Or look at "Play on Linux".
[09:29] <dai_wrk> Industrial: i think its alsamixer
[09:30] <Tachikomas> PoL is a cool wine gui :)
[09:30] <mine> but through wine we need to install the game
[09:30] <Industrial> dai_wrk: no, that's a commandline app. I'm looking for the GUI one you get when you press Configure under the volume slider in the icon in the Tray
[09:30] <mine> ..?
[09:30] <Ben64> mine: yep
[09:31] <Tachikomas> mine : you need to have the cd or iso of the game.
[09:31] <mine> ys
[09:31] <mine> ihave it but using wine it says
[09:31] <Ben64> !appdb | mine
[09:31] <mine> insert the column
[09:31] <Industrial> got it
[09:32] <Industrial> unity-control-center
[09:32] <wschen> Hi! How do I start multiple sshd instances? All I found is copy everything then change the filename. Is there a better way to do it? like add a init script like original one but point to another config file?
[09:32] <Tachikomas> wschen : cssh ;)
[09:33] <mine> directly we should browse the setup file from the disc
[09:33] <mine> to install a game
[09:33] <Ben64> mine: check the appdb for instructions, join #winehq for application help
[09:34] <DJones> !seen djones
[09:34] <Globo> [DJones] Go look in a mirror.
[09:35] <Ben64> mine: don't do that
[09:35] <mine> ben64
[09:35] <Ben64> sending people private messages and/or files without asking is fairly rude
[09:36] <mine> no i just want to be sure
[09:36] <mine> it can send or not
 I think cssh is not what I want. I'd want two sshd service with two different service port running in the same os.
[09:37] <mine> something confirmation reqires to send files
[09:37] <mine> to others
[09:37] <mine> ok how to download audio/video from youtube
[09:37] <mine> is there
[09:37] <mine> anyone online

[09:39] <hateball> !universe
[09:39] <mine> there is a command to
[09:39] <nbusrone> anyone know how to use search function in terminal ?
[09:40] <hateball> nbusrone: to search for what?
[09:40] <sidney> grep?
[09:40] <mine> gotch hateball and ubottu
[09:40] <mine> thanx
[09:40] <nbusrone> hateball : files and photo with file size less than 100kb
[09:41] <mine> can u send me a iomage hateball
[09:41] <hateball> mine: No
[09:41] <mine> y
[09:41] <mine> i want to check
[09:41] <mine> whethter file can transfer or not
[09:42] <mine> plz just a desktop img
[09:43] <hateball> nbusrone: find ~/ -size -100k
[09:43] <hateball> nbusrone: man find to see more, if you need to specify filetypes etc
[09:43] <mine> hey hateball
[09:44] <mine> it doesnt download the
[09:44] <mine> youtube video
[09:44] <hateball> let's see what this button does...
[09:44] <mine> i had install youtube-dl
[09:44] <mun_> hi
[09:45] <mine> how to download it
[09:45] <mine> can u tell hateball
[09:45] <nbusrone> hateball : i saw them but i can't output it without showing a directory path.How do I output without a directory path ?
[09:45] <mun_> i have a sparse file. when i 'ls -l' it says the file size is 91471872, but if i run du -h on it, it shows 240K. so how much space has really been allocated?
[09:46] <mine> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJoicqMndpk
[09:47] <nbusrone> hateball : find ~/ -size -100k > /home/Photo_100k but when it list out on text file , it still show a directory path /home/
[09:47] <mine> cant download this video
[09:47] <mun_> does ext3/ext4 support sparse storage?
[09:48] <hateball> nbusrone: do you need to search subdirectories or just a specific directory?
[09:49] <nbusrone> hateball : actually , I just wanted to list out files on a directory subdirectories .But after I do a ls ouput to a text , it shows the directory path.
[09:51] <momomo> I am using Ubuntu 14. I hate the terminal and the fact that it keeps getting stuck without proper autocompletion. If there are two or more files that start with va .. then it pressing tab should roll between "vagina", "vaseline" haha
[09:51] <momomo> What other good terminals are out there that can be used on the server as well?
[09:52] <hateball> nbusrone: add -printf "%f\n"
[09:52] <hateball> nbusrone: oh and might want to add "-type f" to make sure it only matches files
[09:54] <nbusrone> hateball : what does "%f\n" means ?
[09:55] <hateball> nbusrone: filename\newline
[09:57] <nbusrone> hateball : Thanks it works , how can I add an extra line to arrange A-Z ?
[09:58] <hateball> nbusrone: |sort
[09:59] <levo> where can i put boot options when i boot from live stick usb? i want to boot with vga=791 option since i have a CRT monitor which gives Out of freq error screen
[10:00] <hateball> levo: press F6 when you see the keyboard icon
[10:00] <levo> hateball: there's no keyboard icon
[10:01] <nbusrone> hateball : thanks a lot , that's what I am looking for , but it doesn't seem to find including sub directories ?
[10:01] <levo> hateball: saw it
[10:01] <hateball> nbusrone: it should, ~/ starts at the top of your home. change path to / if you need the entire disk
[10:02] <levo> hateball: what should i enter? when i enter {boot:}install vga=791 ; it says no kernel found :install
[10:03] <hateball> levo: Is this on 14.04?
[10:03] <levo> hateball: yese
[10:03] <levo> yes
[10:04] <hateball> you should be able to simply press ESC after the F6 menu with nomodeset et al pops up, then edit the boot-line
[10:04] <hateball> and just append vga=791 to that
[10:05] <anti-unix> hi
[10:05] <nbusrone> hateball : ok , i tried it out , some with hidden or lock files doesn't show
[10:06] <nbusrone> hateball : really thanks for the help :D
[10:07] <hateball> nbusrone: hmmm, hidden (dot-files) should show tho...
[10:07] <hateball> might be there's a way to strip leading path using awk or grep
[10:08] <Vladimirski> is there a possibility to send messages to computers in a lan without having to login on them, like a warning message?
[10:08] <Vladimirski> i've heard about zenity but not sure
[10:08] <nbusrone> hateball : yep , it show but permission file with a a lock sign not able to list out even I use sudo :D
[10:09] <levo> hateball: is this what you mean: i should append vga option after > /casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.see boot=casper .......(blah).... ? i added vga=791 at the end of the line but got the same out of frequency screen
[10:10] <hateball> levo: yes that should work, but perhaps I am wrong
[10:10] <hateball> it has happened at least once before
[10:11] <EriC^> Vladimirski: i'm sure there's a better way, but you could echo <message> | sudo tee /dev/tty1
[10:12] <nbusrone> hateball : anyhow gtg , I will update once I figure out , I still have other question hopefully you can help out.
[10:13] <Vladimirski> EriC^: But I have to type in the IP adress of the recieving pc?
[10:15] <magnetik> Heyo
[10:15] <magnetik> Is it possible to delay the start of a service on ubuntu ?
[10:21] <primordialooze> hello everyone, some of my gnupg keys appear as striken through without me having done anything. what does this mean?
[10:22] <primordialooze> ok..found out that it meant expiration
[10:27] <lacrymology> I've recently updated to 14.04 and whenever I rapid-hit ALT the command input appears, whether I hit another key combo or not. So when I'm using emacs it's terrible, M-x will open the unity command textbox and if I press escape emacs HAS got the M-x command, so it's not that I'm missing the keys. Is there any way for me to stop this? disabling the command thingie is acceptable
[10:27] <primordialooze> should I select RSA 'sign only' or 'encrypt only' when creating a gnupg key?
[10:34] <loin> hi, how can i add a user because useradd won't create the home folder or allow me to log in with lightdm
[10:35] <octoid> loin, use adduser (useradd is a lower level tool - see man adduser)
[10:35] <k1l_> !adduser | loin
[10:36] <p0ss> interesting question for a friend.  Seagate external drives have a hardware controlled smartalign feature which represents the drives 4k sectors and 512b to the OS.  Does anyone know of a software equivalent to the smartalign controller? fdisk and gparted will let you format the drive as 4k, but not access any existing data.
[10:37] <p0ss> This is the most indepth description of the situation I have found, but it offers no solution http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?153881-3TB-hard-disk-used-as-external-USB-connection-or-internal-Sata-connection
[10:38] <p0ss> This applies to all Seagate 2>tb external drives when using them without the external case.  The existing contents can apparently just not be read without the hardware controlled.
[10:45] <taktel> i've tried to install grub2 with the "--target" option, but it seems like theres no option named "target" available for grub-install; Am i missing any dependencys?
[10:46] <EriC^^> taktel: what are you trying to achieve?
[10:46] <rizcore> hallo guys
[10:46] <taktel> I am trying to install grub on a efi system
[10:47] <EriC^^> taktel: ok, so you're booted in the live usb right now?
[10:47] <taktel> Yes
[10:47] <EriC^^> taktel: ok, did you mount your ubuntu installation, efi dir ad virtual filesystems?
[10:48] <EriC^^> *and
[10:49] <loin> thanks octoid, k1l_
[10:49] <taktel> Yes i have mounted the ubuntu installation to mnt and efi partition to /mnt/boot/efi
[10:49] <EriC^^> taktel: did you mount --bind /dev and the rest?
[10:50] <afancy> HI, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on DELL latitude E7440. My wifi network is interrupted repeatedly. could anybody help me? thanks
[10:50] <taktel> No but its not necessary. I just what to know what package i need that grub-install have the --target option included
[10:51] <EriC^^> taktel: it might be necessary
[10:52] <EriC^^> i think it's necessary.. do you want to try it?
[10:52] <taktel> I have installed grub so many times from live CD without
[10:53] <EriC^^> a live cd or a rescue cd?
[10:53] <taktel> But what should it change to mount dev and sys; grub-install will still have no --target option
[10:53] <taktel> Live CD
[10:54] <EriC^^> taktel: you don't need to specify --target
[10:54] <EriC^^> you can mount --bind /dev ... then chroot and grub-install
[10:54] <EriC^^> ok
[10:55] <EriC^^> taktel: are you chrooted right now?
[10:55] <EriC^^> ( let's give it a shot mount binding then chrooting and installing , shall we? )
[10:56] <taktel> I've mounted sys and dev now. And chrooted again into the ubuntu installation. So what should i do now?
[10:58] <bedpanboy> hi its me
[10:58] <bedpanboy> bedpanboy
[10:59] <EriC^^> i think you need proc too
[10:59] <EriC^^> taktel: after you chroot, grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX
[10:59] <EriC^^> then update-grub
[10:59] <EriC^^> then exit the chroot
[11:00] <taktel> EriC^^: I need to install a efi version - so that grubx86.efi get copied to my efi partion
[11:01] <taktel> grub-install seems to work but he needs efivars - so i installed efibootmgr on host system and did modprobe efivars - but nothing happends
[11:01] <taktel> Got it working.  Fixed it.
[11:02] <EriC^> taktel: after you chroot, grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX , then update-grub, then exit the chroot
[11:28] <slawek> Hi :) I am looking for terminal which supports loging output to file. Can you guys recommend something?
[11:30] <Seveas> slawek: any terminal supports this with the 'script' command :)
[11:31] <slawek> Seveas: yeah... I have bad habbit to search something in google and ask on IRC same time :D
[11:39] <agend> hi - i'm looking for an application which would let me share my screen (no sound, no control over my mouse) - just let someone using linux or mac see my screen - i've used skype - but sound is scratchy - so i prefer to use my phone + showing my screen - any recomendations guys?
[11:42] <hateball> agend: VNC is one option, it's also bundled by default in the "remote desktop" thingy
[11:46] <momomo> I have the default ubunut terminal .. is there a way to change the default hotkeys to CTRL+C, CTRL+V without the shift .. and have CTRL+SHIFT+C actually exist a program ?
[11:48] <marty_axel> i have a problem with my sftp connection, it says port 22 : connection refused
[11:48] <marty_axel> can anyone help ? :-s
[11:49] <ArtooDetoo> marty_axel: normal ssh works?
[11:50] <marty_axel> i can t connect with ssh user@ip
[11:51] <marty_axel> port 22 : connection refused
[11:51] <k1l_> is a openssh daemon running on port 22?
[11:52] <k1l_> see /etc/ssh/sshd_config and check the settings
[11:52] <marty_axel> how do i check that?
[11:52] <marty_axel> i made seetings in sshd_config
[11:52] <marty_axel> Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
[11:52] <marty_axel> Match group ftpaccess
[11:52] <marty_axel> ChrootDirectory %h

[11:52] <k1l_> !paste | marty_axel
[11:53] <k1l_> marty_axel: did you "sudo reload ssh" to make the changes work?
[11:55] <amcsi> Hi, I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu alongside Max OSX. Will the fact that I installed Ubuntu onto a logical partition cause problems?
[11:55] <marty_axel> sudo reload ssh not working
[11:55] <BluesKaj> Greetings folks
[11:55] <marty_axel> i did restart
[11:56] <k1l_> marty_axel: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[11:56] <marty_axel> last one,just donwloaded it LTS
[11:56] <k1l_> "lsb_release -d"
[11:57] <k1l_> marty_axel: did "sudo reload ssh" not work? give it an error?
[11:57] <marty_axel> ubuntu 14.04
[11:58] <marty_axel> job is not running ssh
[11:58] <k1l_> marty_axel: please copy and paste the exact outputs
[11:58] <marty_axel> on sudo reload
[11:58] <k1l_> marty_axel: "lsb_release -d" it matters what version is running there
[11:58] <marty_axel> ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[12:00] <k1l_> marty_axel: what gives you "ps ax | grep ssh" please put the result into a pastebin
[12:01] <marty_axel> 1318 tty1 T 0:00 ssh marius@x.x.x.xipserver
[12:02] <__amund> need help on my ssh-key on remote host socket getting timeout after few hour
[12:02] <marty_axel> 2006 tty1 s+ 0 : 00 grip --color=auto ssh
[12:02] <__amund> is there any way I can make it persistent ?
[12:02] <likecolacola> hey.. i got a school laptop from a friend with Unity... he says it does not work and i am a little lost, everything is fine but the bar that ubuntu uses so that you can open the terminal or a web navigator does not display..
[12:02] <k1l_> marty_axel: you need to run that commands and make that on the server
[12:02] <k1l_> marty_axel: what machine do you want to connect to?
[12:02] <likecolacola> i have 0 experience with ubuntu Unity..
[12:02] <marty_axel> machine i`m now on, windows 7 with filezilla
[12:03] <marty_axel> ubuntu is only command line, so i can t output the result in pastebin
[12:03] <k1l_> marty_axel: so the windows machine is the "server"?
[12:03] <tomodachi> likecolacola:  well you are about to get some now then!! press the window button on the keyboard, does a search button pop up then?!
[12:03] <k1l_> likecolacola: make sure the video drivers work as expected.
[12:03] <marty_axel> i have a computer with only ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS installed, and a computer with windows7. I want to connect to the server using filezilla
[12:04] <marty_axel> on ftp
[12:04] <k1l_> marty_axel: the ubuntu one is the "server"?
[12:04] <marty_axel> the computer with ubuntu 14.04.1 is the server
[12:04] <k1l_> "sudo apt-get install openssh-server"  on that ubuntu machine
[12:04] <marty_axel> newly installed
[12:05] <marty_axel> it`s installed
[12:05] <likecolacola> aw... tomodachi, k1l_, yes.. the windows button show the search and the bar i was looking for... a little ashamed here :P
[12:05] <marty_axel> openssh-server is installed
[12:05] <marty_axel> http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04-vsftpd/
[12:05] <marty_axel> i made the configurations from here
[12:05] <k1l_> likecolacola: ah ok, so maybe its just on autohide. if it doesnt pop out when moving the mouse to the left edge see if its a setting on unity-tweak-tool
[12:06] <__amund> need help on: ssh key forwarding: I am doing ssh to a remote host with ssh-key forwarding, and later using screen on the remote host. After some hour, my forwared keys are getting timeout. Is there any way I can solve this issue?
[12:06] <tomodachi> likecolacola: dont be , everyone is a beginner when they are a beginner, but in the eyes of people that know even less you will seem quite skilled already using ubuntu compared to other alternatives
[12:07] <k1l_> marty_axel: if "ps ax | grep sshd" doesnt list the service running then there is an issue with the ocnfig making the ssh service not start. so that howto might be rubbish
[12:08] <k1l_> marty_axel: the line you should look for looks like this "1406 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd -D"
[12:08] <__amund> k1: can you please type: lsof -i
[12:09] <__amund> k1@ or “ lsof -i | grep ssh
[12:10] <marty_axel> when i run ps ax | grep sshd it outputs 2006 tty1 s+ 0 : 00 grip --color=auto ssh
[12:10] <marty_axel> only this
[12:10] <marty_axel> :(
[12:11] <ZombieChicken> Anyone know if I can get 3D acceleration working in qemu?
[12:11] <k1l_> marty_axel: yes, your openssh server is not running. i suspect it is due to a bad config setting. the "sudo reload ssh" should tell you an errormessage if it cant be started
[12:11] <k1l_> or better try "sudo ssh start"
[12:11] <likecolacola> k1l_, tomodachi, everything seems to be working fine.. !!, it's the school laptop of the son of a friend and he said it was not working but everything seems to be alright now :P
[12:11] <__amund> need help on: ssh key forwarding: I am doing ssh to a remote host with ssh-key forwarding, and later using screen on the remote host. After some hour, my forwared keys are getting timeout. Is there any way I can solve this issue?
[12:12] <likecolacola> my eyes shinned when i saw it had linux on it as i am linux user/supporter and lover heheheheh
[12:12] <marty_axel> if i put sudo service ssh start  it says: job si already running : ssh
[12:13] <likecolacola> ubuntu it's gaining terrain over windows on new generations hehe
[12:13] <__amund> marty_axel@ can you give the output of: “ netstat -nltp | grep ssh “
[12:14] <marty_axel> doesnt output anything
[12:16] <__amund> marty_axel@ can you give output of “ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -i Port “
[12:17] <marty_axel> IPS and protocols we lisften for Port 22
[12:17] <LMNOP_> wuts a ubuntu
[12:17] <LMNOP_> tia
[12:18] <stewi> likecolacola: As it damn well should. A world where everyone runs linux is a beatiful world indeed. Where the latest games run on old computers, and incompatability of operating systems is a thing of the past. Where everyones computer looks different, and is customized to the fullest extent by each user.
[12:19] <stewi> and where we will never let proprietary software have the time of day!
[12:20] <DJones> !ubuntu | LMNOP_
[12:21] <stewi> haha, you can direct bot outputs to specific users using the bash pipe syntax... love it.
[12:21] <__amund> marty_axel@ can you give output of “ cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -i Port “
[12:21] <marty_axel> marty_axel	IPS and protocols we lisften for Port 22
[12:21] <marty_axel> this is the output
[12:21] <likecolacola> stewi, hehe i am a fellow programmer, use fedora/debian stable and see Windows as the abomination it is :D
[12:22] <likecolacola> i use openbox in debian stable i don't even have to pick the mouse for anything haha, i am a minimalist with an old computer and debian runs on my machine with 168mb ram
[12:23] <__amund> are you using virtual box or any vm layer  and running your OS ?
[12:24] <stewi> I usually run my own kali build with xfce. I kind of miss the days where they based it off ubuntu.
[12:24] <ztealmax> good day to you all, is it possible to get wireless network working when installing from mini.iso?
[12:25] <momomo> Shit + LEFT to select would also be nice
[12:25] <Industrial> Hello.
[12:25] <momomo> What IRC clients are you guys using? I don't but hexchat is kind of annoying. I used to like Operas IRC
[12:26] <stewi> I'm using quassel
[12:26] <Industrial> How do I get Java working in Chrome (or firefox anything i dont care i need to do a presentation asap)
[12:26] <Industrial> I have installed the icedtea browser plugin
[12:26] <likecolacola> stewi, it's not like my pc has 168mb ram, but that it's what the base OS consume when no windows opened
[12:26] <Industrial> https://www.java.com/en/download/installed8.jsp?detect=jre gives me a grey box
[12:26] <Industrial> This plugin is not supported
[12:26] <Industrial> What do I do?
[12:26] <stewi> with the core hosted on my VPS (secured over an SSL encrypted VPN, don't worry)
[12:27] <stewi> likecolacola: You had me worried...
[12:27] <likecolacola> :D
[12:27] <stewi> likecolacola: Mind you, I still hold onto a 12mb Harddrive.
[12:27] <stewi> nice peice of history
[12:27] <stewi> utterly useless though
[12:28] <kk_> HI,Need help to get mtp device on beaglebone black. Which is booted with ubuntu 14.04 OS. I have installed libmtp9, and all packages of gvfs. But still cant connect to device.
[12:28] <likecolacola> stewi, i love adding small cpu's to projects for real time needs
[12:29] <bazhang> likecolacola, stewi please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks
[12:29] <kk_> showing : Failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY (g-io-error-quark, 0)
[12:29] <stewi> sure
[12:29] <bazhang> kk_, is gmtp installed
[12:29] <kk_> yes
[12:30] <likecolacola> sure
[12:30] <bazhang> what device are you trying to access kk_
[12:30] <kk_> can i use gvfs on beaglebone console OS
[12:30] <kk_> I want to mount mtp device on beaglebone black
[12:30] <bazhang> what device exactly kk_
[12:31] <kk_> any how any rootfs but required fast access to device
[12:31] <kk_> android phone
[12:31] <marty_axel> Please help with my vsftpd connection,someone :D
[12:31] <Budd> My newly-installed Ubuntu Studio tries and  fails to set up encrypted swap. The problem seems  to be that /etc/crypttab identifies the partition by UUID, but as far as I can tell, the partition can't have one
[12:32] <kk_> used mtpfs but it is too slower and can't get current data
[12:32] <EriC^^> Budd: it can have a UUID
[12:32] <ztealmax> is wifi supported at install when using mini.iso or do i have to install additional firmwares?
[12:32] <kk_> need to remount mtpfs to get data
[12:32] <bazhang> kk_, standard ubuntu and an android device should just show up; is it completely undetected
[12:33] <Budd> EriC^^: After setting it up manually and using it once, the partition is left without a UUID.
[12:33] <bazhang> ztealmax, I imagine you'd need a wire connetced to get the mini up to date first
[12:33] <bazhang> which chipset on the wifi nic
[12:34] <Budd> EriC^^: If I mkswap on the raw partition and give the swap's UUID to /etc/crypttab, it works and overwrites the UUID. If I format the partition as LUKS  with no password, it's rejected for having a pre-existing filesystem.
[12:34] <kk_> No device is attached with ubuntu but unable to mount it
[12:34] <ztealmax> bazhang, thank you, i have AR92xx something
[12:34] <kk_> you can say undetected as i cant see any device node or block device when attached to system
[12:34] <bazhang> ztealmax, in that case, I strongly suspect a wire is needed at the very start
[12:34] <Budd> So I suppose my question is how to format a partition so cryptswap can use it with a persistent UUID?

[12:35] <bazhang> welcome
[12:35] <ztealmax> :)
[12:35] <ztealmax> afk abit
[12:36] <bazhang> kk_, so this is a hub, then the hub to the beaglebone
[12:36] <BluesKaj> Budd, why encrypt a awap ?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> swap thay is
[12:36] <Budd> BluesKaj: so TSA can't read it.
[12:37] <kk_> yes
[12:37]  * BluesKaj looks for more light
[12:37] <Budd> BluesKaj: it encrypts with a random, unsaved  key, so the data is permanently lost on shutdown.
[12:37] <bazhang> kk_, and what about without the hub, just directly with a single usb cable
[12:38] <kk_> i can detect any scsi disk device and usb device too. Bu tunable to detect mtp device only
[12:38] <Budd> Upon further examination, cryptdisks_stop seems to wipe the swap signature and UUID of its partition.
[12:38] <kk_> but unable to detect mtp device only
[12:38] <source47> hi guys. how can i add this to my sources.list file?  https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-precise.deb
[12:39] <bazhang> kk_, so you have tried that single device, without the hub, with a single usb cable
[12:39] <source47> i tried doing it by adding 'deb https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs release trusty' with no luck
[12:39] <kk_> yes
[12:39] <source47> it goes to https://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/dists/release/trusty/binary-amd64/Packages instead
[12:40] <kk_> ANy idea of mtp
[12:40] <kk_> ?
[12:48] <bedpanboy> how can i check what group sqlite/apache2 runs as on my ubuntu desktop system?
[12:49] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: ps aux | grep apache
[12:50] <ArtooDetoo> bedpanboy: and "man groups"
[12:50] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, thanks.
[12:50] <bedpanboy> It's printing multiple instances of "www-data"
[12:50] <bedpanboy> so I guess that's it?
[12:51] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: yeah, that's the default user
[12:51] <EriC^^> yeah
[12:51] <bedpanboy> Hm. It doesn't appear in my dropdown list when I look at my files' properties though.
[12:51] <bedpanboy> Any idea why that is?
[12:51] <bedpanboy> I mean, my group permission dropdown
[12:52] <EriC^^> did you just install apache?
[12:52] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, well, yeah. A few days ago. I've been scripting and stuff since.
[12:52] <bedpanboy> I'm trying to get an sqlite tutorial to work right now
[12:52] <bedpanboy> but it says it can't modify the file cus its read only
[12:53] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: did you try logging out and back in?
[12:53] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, well, I'm at work so yeah
[12:53] <bedpanboy> I log in every workday
[12:53] <EriC^^> oh ok
[12:53] <bedpanboy> :3
[12:54] <EriC^^> use sudo if you need to change something that requires permissions
[12:54] <EriC^^> sudo nano ....
[12:56] <bedpanboy> Ah, apparently the folder itself had "Others" set to "Access files"
[12:56] <bedpanboy> then again maybe this is best from a security POV?
[12:57] <kevinde_> I have a hdd in a caddy that I take home with me from school, on this hdd I have Windows 7 & Ubuntu installed. Everything works fine on the machine at my school (where ubuntu was originally installed). I have tesame caddy bay installed on my pc at home where I can plug in my hdd and start windows/ubuntu. The only problem i'm having that when my hdd is plugged in the caddy bay at home that Ubuntu cannot find my network card built in
[12:57] <kevinde_> How is that possible?
[12:57] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: i guess so
[12:57] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, basically I'm wondering why www-data doesn't show up as a group anywhere :(
[12:57] <bedpanboy> so i dont have to give everyone full access
[12:58] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: type groups www-data
[12:58] <bedpanboy> it says www-data : www-data
[12:58] <EriC^^> ok, so the user & group are there
[12:59] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: you might need to log out and back in for it to show in the menu in nautilus
[12:59] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, well I haven't actually changed anything since I logged in today
[12:59] <bedpanboy> I installed apache2 and all plugins and services on the day I set up this computer
[12:59] <bedpanboy> :/
[12:59] <bedpanboy> so basically im just wondering why www-data isnt visible anywhere
[13:05] <stianhj> bedpanboy: is your user in the www-data group?
[13:05] <bedpanboy> stianhj, not my personal user, no.
[13:07] <octoid> What is the correct way to execute 'powertop --auto-tune' on boot with 14.04 ?
[13:08] <gianni1> have problems to install nvdia drivers who can help?
[13:10] <ArtooDetoo> !nvidia
[13:10] <gianni1> ubottu my problem is related to a final message after installation
[13:11] <ArtooDetoo> !problem
[13:12] <k1l_> gianni1: how are you trying to install the drivers?
[13:12] <k1l_> gianni1: and what error do you get there?
[13:13] <octoid> Is it just a case of adding to rc.conf? Or should I be using upstart or systemd?
[13:15] <Midler> hello, ubuntu is the best ^_^
[13:18] <psd> I am not able to dual boot my lenovo y510p with nvidia sli 750m
[13:25] <octoid> ah well, at least I have dnsmasq local caching :)
[13:25] <Berto> Hi - Can someone help me set a newer default kernel to boot on my VPS? I don't have access to the boot menu on console
[13:27] <k1l_> Berto: talk to the admin /hoster. in most cases the kernel is shipped form the Host-OS and there is not much you can do on your own.
[13:29] <murdamax> socal?
[13:30] <Berto> k1l_, thanks, wasn't aware that I shoudln't be touching any other kernels
[13:31] <k1l_> Berto: that depends on the exact setup of that vps. but best is to talk to the hoster.
[13:31] <Berto> k1l_, yeah it's digital ocean, i have a ticket and they're very responsive.  Just dno't want to boot into a kernel that won't work
[13:33] <zezom> I have Ubuntu server installed and when I do an apt-get update I get a heap of 404 Not Found errors. The files at the end seem to exist is this a key issue?
[13:36] <pbx> zezom, perhaps pastebin a sample run
[13:39] <zezom> pbx, Thanks for the suggestion. http://pastebin.com/UNSHkFF8
[13:44] <pbx> zezom, well, i tried one of those URLs and it resolved fine for me. curious that it's a 404, i.e. it's reaching the server (the IP it gives is correct too) but then not able to find... something.   sorry i don't have more apt-get troubleshooting expertise
[13:44] <thabedpanrapper> Anyone know why you have to be a member of a group for it to show up in the permissions drop-down?
[13:45] <thabedpanrapper> I had to assign myself to www-data and relog before it'd show up in the permissions window :|
[13:45] <OpenTokix> zezom: did you do a apt-get update?
[13:45] <zezom> OpenTokix, Hi, I got those error while doing an apt-get update
[13:45] <aphoriser> What is the best way to have / ensure that a process is always up & starts with system boot?
[13:46] <OpenTokix> zezom: ok
[13:48] <zezom> OpenTokix, pbx, It's interesting that when I do a wget on my desktop I can download it fine but when I do it on the server I get the same 404 error. I'm starting to think this isn't an apt problem
[13:49] <zezom> thanks for your help I'll look into the further tomorrow.
[13:49] <pbx> zezom, yeah
[13:49] <OpenTokix> zezom: yeah, good luck
[13:49] <zezom> thanks guys :)
[13:49] <dionysus69> hey guys, how can I change when screen timesout on 14.04 ? it turns off real quick

[13:56] <dionysus69> Thanks
[14:01] <philip_> hello
[14:02] <philip_> any help on how to allow http on NAT for iptables
[14:03] <OpenTokix> philip_: just forward port 80 to your host inside
[14:03] <philip_> i dont have an idea on how to do that
[14:04] <OpenTokix> philip_: where is your nat?
[14:04] <philip_> installed on a server but running as a virtual for which windows is operating on
[14:11] <FailBit> Hi
[14:11] <FailBit> I'm having trouble running "apt-get update"
[14:11] <Courtneyjordan> is 14.04 okay to use as an every day desktop?  I want to install it but I just looked at the usn site and it scared me a little with how many are posted
[14:11] <FailBit> it hangs after a few seconds
[14:11] <FailBit> Stuck at
[14:11] <FailBit> 100% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::13)]
[14:13] <cfhowlett_> Courtneyjordan, 14.04.1 with full dist-upgrades, firewall and avoid funky sites.  Still one WHOLE lot safer than windows - or OSX for that matter.
[14:15] <FailBit> I'll stick around I guess
[14:15] <Courtneyjordan> so if pretty much all I do with my computer is browse the web watch movies and play minecraft there is no reason to not switch right?
[14:15] <FailBit> if that's all you do
[14:16] <FailBit> then that's a pretty good reason to use ubuntu
[14:16] <k1l> FailBit: seems there is an issue with some ipv6 somewhere either on the mirrors or the isp. you could try to siwtch to another mirror or the main server
[14:16] <Courtneyjordan> thank you
[14:16] <FailBit> k1l: wat's funny is that it works for a little bit and is really fast, and then stalls and stops working shortly after
[14:17] <FailBit> i dunno if it's my ISP or a problem with the server
[14:17] <k1l> Courtneyjordan: what do you scare more: ubuntu fixing security issues right when there is a fix for it or microsoft just pathcing on patchday?
[14:18] <eraggo> Courtneyjordan: if you install Ubuntu and have issues with running minecraft on linux just contact me
[14:18] <k1l> Courtneyjordan: making public what issues are already fixed is a pro argument. not a negative one that should scare you.
[14:18] <Courtneyjordan> oh I didn't know that was a fixed list
[14:19] <Courtneyjordan> but yes microsoft scares me way more
[14:19] <FailBit> windows scares me
[14:19] <FailBit> whenever I use it I have to wonder if I'm being watched and whether the computer has viruses or adware or whatnot
[14:20] <philip_> am trying to transfer a file on a window which is install on my virtual but it says firewall is blocking it port 80
[14:21] <someguy> How do I upgrade gnupg to the latest version? I'm running ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[14:21] <cfhowlett_> someguy, sudo apt-get install gnupg
[14:21] <k1l> !info gnupg precise
[14:25] <drager> When I boot my computer I can not enter a passphrase, then I reboot it and then the UI changes and then I can enter it...
[14:25] <someguy> cfhowlett_: I did that but 1.4.11 is not the latest version right?
[14:25] <drager> Version 14.10…
[14:25] <cfhowlett_> someguy, it appears that it's the current version available in precise repos.
[14:27] <someguy> cfhowlett_: So, I'm guessing that this version doesn't have any major issues or a newer version would've been available?
[14:28] <cfhowlett_> someguy, you can always build from source ... if you just must have the new, shiny.
[14:29] <Pici> Any security patches will have been "backported" into that version.
[14:31] <hydrajump> i have a user whose complaining that when they plug in an external monitor to their laptop nothing shows up on the external screen. It has worked fine before. How might I debug this?
[14:31] <hydrajump> the user said the external screen turns "purple"
[14:31] <theadmin> hydrajump: Are you sure the screen is actually enabled in the settings? Furthermore, is the screen plugged in?
[14:31] <theadmin> Oh, wait.
[14:31] <theadmin> That's normal, no? It's just the desktop
[14:31] <theadmin> I think
[14:32] <EriC^^> maybe he doesn't have the launcher set to show on both displays
[14:32] <theadmin> Yeah I think that's it
[14:32] <theadmin> hydrajump: Does the mouse appear on the second monitor if it's moved all the way to the right?
[14:32] <theadmin> If so, this is normal behaviour and everything is working just fine
[14:33] <hydrajump> theadmin: i'll have to double check with the user
[14:34] <hydrajump> could it be that the second monitor is extending and not mirroring?
[14:34] <theadmin> hydrajump: That's the default, yes.
[14:34] <hydrajump> extending is default?
[14:34] <theadmin> Yup
[14:34] <theadmin> Same as on Windows
[14:35] <hydrajump> theadmin: thanks I'll inform the user maybe there's a keyboard shortcut to enable mirroing. just googling for the manual now
[14:37] <wafflejock> hydrajump, Winkey+P does it on Gnome 3
[14:38] <wafflejock> actually hit this the other day by accident, just figured out what the actual key combo was
[14:39] <hydrajump> wafflejock: thanks I just emailed the user I found in the manual it said "fn + f4".
[14:39] <hydrajump> Hope it works
[14:39] <hydrajump> can this be set via the terminal,e.g. change the default setting to mirroing?
[14:40] <DiscoverY> hi ?
[14:41] <wafflejock> hydrajump, haven't tried it but there's an answer posted here http://askubuntu.com/questions/568035/multiple-monitor-mirrored-as-default seems pretty reasonable
[14:41] <hydrajump> thanks wafflejock!
[14:42] <krz> i need two simple things. how do i format the usb pendrive in the terminal. and after downloading the ubunto iso, how do i make my pendrive bootable?
[14:42] <theadmin> hydrajump: You can also change it in System Settings -> Displays
[14:42] <cfhowlett_> !usb | krz,
[14:42] <theadmin> krz: To simply format, you can do "sudo mkfs -t FILESYSTEM_TYPE_HERE /dev/sdb1" or such.
[14:42] <gaconsalt> После двух месяцев рабты в Убунту Студио, начала сильно тормозить загрузка рабочего стола. Причиной считаю регулярное обновление системы. Как можно решить данную проблему?
[14:42] <theadmin> !ru | gaconsalt
[14:43] <theadmin> krz: However, to create a bootable USB, you should use dd as follows: sudo dd of=/dev/sdb if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso
[14:43] <Someguyoutthere> Kubuntu 14.10 Live system. Attempting to run partitionmanager as root fails producing a warning message "No usable devices could be found. ", and emits "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kubuntu" is owned by uid 999 instead of uid 0." on StdErr. What's going on, and will it persist if I install?
[14:43] <theadmin> krz: Note that you write to the whole drive, not to a partition. This is to preserve the boot sector.
[14:44] <krz> theadmin: /dev/sdb not /dev/sdbX right?
[14:44] <theadmin> krz: For using dd, yes.
[14:44] <krz> theadmin: pendrive can be vfat32?
[14:44] <theadmin> krz: It doesn't matter, dd will overwrite everything.
[14:45] <krz> theadmin: so theres no need to reformat the pendrive then?
[14:45] <theadmin> krz: Nope
[14:45] <krz> kk
[14:45] <krz> theadmin: i already have grub running though. dont matter right?
[14:45] <theadmin> krz: Not sure what you mean.
[14:46] <krz> i just need to boot from pendrive
[14:46] <theadmin> krz: Yes sure, well, you will be able to boot from the USB stick after dd is done
[14:46] <krz> i have arch and windows installed on two different partitions. unfortunately, im going to hve to remove the arch partition
[14:46] <krz> im using grub as the bootloader
[14:46] <krz> that wont interfere with anything ya?
[14:47] <theadmin> krz: No, not at all
[14:47] <krz> great!
[14:47] <theadmin> krz: It will only modify the USB stick.
[14:47] <krz> so sad arch is going
[14:47] <theadmin> krz: It's literally the same as doing "sudo cp /path/to/ubuntu.iso /dev/sdb" but it works better with binary data or something, I dunno
[14:48] <krz> kk ill check md5sum as well for file integrity
[14:48] <Chullachaky> help..!!!    install cinnamon in ubuntu
[14:48] <theadmin> Yes, can do that, just md5sum /dev/sdb
[14:48] <Chullachaky> repo..... cinnamon    fall
[14:48] <theadmin> Chullachaky: sudo apt-get install cinnamon
[14:48] <Chullachaky> no found
[14:48] <Chullachaky> cinnamon
[14:49] <bihaber> how do i fix 14.10 so it doesn't boot into busybox?
[14:49] <FailBit> theadmin: dd ≠ cp
[14:49] <FailBit> not even close
[14:49] <theadmin> FailBit: Well, they operate differently, but don't both just copy stuff from one file into another?
[14:50] <theadmin> dd can copy part of a file or something, though.
[14:50] <FailBit> dd copies blocks
[14:50] <FailBit> cp copies files
[14:50] <wafflejock> theadmin, nope, dd does a block by block write of some image file to a disk or disk to disk
[14:50] <wafflejock> or disk to image
[14:50] <theadmin> Well alright.
[14:50] <FailBit> cp can create links, dd cannot
[14:50] <wafflejock> cp just copies the file itself not it's contents onto a device
[14:51] <theadmin> I know dd is the right way, is all
[14:51] <FailBit> yes
[14:51] <Chullachaky> sudo add-apt-repository ppa: tsvetko.tsvetkov / cinnamon .... having problems .... help with other repo..y
[14:51] <Chullachaky> please
[14:52] <Rug> Howdy all
[14:52] <octoid> krz, theadmin, you'll need to know the exact size of the image to verify the md5sum once its been copied to the device. e.g. ls -l image.iso; in bc or another calculator take the long filesize and divide by 2^20 - this will give you how many 1MB blocks (luckily all ubuntu iso files are multiples of 1MB); then dd if=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=your_count_here | md5sum
[14:52] <cfhowlett_> !ppa | Chullachaky
[14:52] <bihaber> how do i fix 14.10 utopic so it doesn't boot into busybox?
[14:53] <FailBit> bihaber: what do you mean?
[14:53] <krz> octoid: is that really required though?
[14:53] <FailBit> is init just spawning a login shell on tty1 when you boot?
[14:53] <Chullachaky> Ok... ubottu
[14:54] <bihaber> FailBit: when i boot utopic 14.10 i get busybox appearing saying it can't find some uuid
[14:54] <octoid> krz, if you want to verify every bit of the image was correctly written to the usb device - You will be 99% safe if you use the verify integrity option when booting from the usb stick though :)
[14:54] <gaconsalt> После двух месяцев рабты в Убунту Студио, начала сильно тормозить загрузка рабочего стола. Причиной считаю регулярное обновление системы. Как можно решить данную проблему? Похожая ситуация біла и на виндоусе, потмоу уверен что данніе тормоза из-за
[14:54] <gaconsalt>  обновлений...  как привести в норму теперь систему
[14:54] <geirha> The cp will work too though. For the same reason you could use cat and redirection
[14:54] <FailBit> bihaber: do you get a login shell eventually?
[14:54] <DJones> !ru | gaconsalt
[14:55] <Chullachaky> problem .... ubottu
[14:55] <bihaber> FailBit: no. once in busybox shell it stops.
[14:55] <theadmin> !ua | gaconsalt
[14:55] <theadmin> !uk
[14:55] <theadmin> Oh come on.
[14:55] <theadmin> No Ukrainian channel?
[14:56] <DJones> theadmin: Don't think so
[14:56] <FailBit> bihaber: hit ctrl+alt+f1
[14:56] <FailBit> that should drop you to tty1 and spawn login
[14:57] <Jeffool> Is it cool to ask for help in here?
[14:57] <cfhowlett_> !ask | Jeffool,
[14:57] <Jeffool> Thanks!
[14:58] <cfhowlett_> !ask | ukrainian
[14:58] <bihaber> FailBit: that key sequence does nothing. just have (initramfs) prompt. top of screen says gave up waiting for root device.
[14:59] <FailBit> Is before init
[14:59] <octoid> What is the correct method to execute '/usr/sbin/powertop --auto-tune' on boot in 14.04? upstart/systemd/rc.local ?
[14:59] <FailBit> You can't really do anything before init
[14:59] <Jeffool> My cursor is getting stuck on the screen on seemingly random webpages, but movement/clicks still register, and it's not reproducible. One found answer suggests editing xorg.conf to disable hardware cursor accelleration, but there's no xorg.conf to edit. Suggestions?
[14:59] <Rug> I have an odd problem with mysql.  I can successfully telnet to a server running mysql from half the computers in my office, but the other half all error out.  I get connection refused instantly on the boxes that don't work (as if a firewall was in place) and "...xxxx is not allowed to connect..." which is a successful test.  Iptables is disabled, and so is UFW.  Any ideas that would cause half-a-subnet to 'no
[14:59] <Jeffool> !patience
[14:59] <Rug> t work' ?
[15:00] <bihaber> FailBit: so my system is hosed?
[15:00] <mcphail> Jeffool: what graphics card and drivers do you use?
[15:01] <FailBit> bihaber: maybe
[15:01] <FailBit> it could just be grub
[15:01] <FailBit> but I mean
[15:01] <FailBit> you kinda have to mount / to get the initramfs no?
[15:01] <Someguyoutthere> Kubuntu 14.10 Live system. Attempting to run partitionmanager as root fails producing a warning message "No usable devices could be found. ", and emits "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kubuntu" is owned by uid 999 instead of uid 0." on StdErr. What's going on, and will it persist if I install?
[15:02] <FailBit> Someguyoutthere: maybe clean out /tmp
[15:02] <k1l> bihaber: what did you do before it did not boot properly?
[15:02] <Jeffool> mcphail It's an integrated Intel graphics card - just for office use. I've requested the drivers be updated and was told they were. Obviously, I'm no expert here.
[15:02] <bihaber> FailBit: it never worked after i did upgrade from 10.04
[15:03] <FailBit> 10.04
[15:03] <FailBit> wow that's old
[15:03] <bihaber> FailBit: sorry. 14.04
[15:03] <FailBit> To be fair I had 11.10 a little under a year ago
[15:03] <mcphail> Jeffool: and what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[15:03] <maliboy> is Ubuntu free as in freedom ?
[15:03] <cfhowlett_> Jeffool, you can get a terminal?  furn this commmand:   dpkg -l | grep intel        the first hit should be your intel driver ... if installed
[15:03] <FailBit> maliboy: mostly
[15:03] <NightFury> I need a bit of help

[15:04] <maliboy> FailBit, mostly ? why not fully ?
[15:04] <maliboy> k1l, price is secondary
[15:04] <cfhowlett_> !mint | Jeffool
[15:04] <k1l> maliboy: it used prop. software for unser convenience
[15:04] <Pici> maliboy: because there are optional proprietary bits included if you want them.
[15:04] <cfhowlett_> maliboy, #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support discussions
[15:04] <Jeffool> cfhowlett Thanks; apologies for taking the time, but thanks to you and mcphail for taking the interest!
[15:05] <mcphail> Jeffool: we aren't going to be able to help in this channel. Mint isn't supported here and uses different desktop environments from default Ubuntu...
[15:05] <cfhowlett_> Jeffool, best of luck
[15:06] <maliboy> cfhowlett_, it is on topic
[15:06] <Night_Fury> im running 14.04, wheni lock the system, it shows a pic juder the login bar.  Where is the setting for that pic so i can either remove it of change it?
[15:06] <maliboy> I am asking about Ubuntu
[15:06] <cfhowlett_> maliboy, this channel is for tech support issues
[15:06] <k1l> maliboy: this is a technical support channel. we dont debate about philosophy in here.
[15:06] <maliboy> cfhowlett_, k1l I am asking about what is technically included in it
[15:06] <k1l> maliboy: if you are interessted in debating about that topic #ubuntu-offtopic is the place.
[15:06] <maliboy> I was*
[15:07] <maliboy> ok
[15:07] <reisio> maliboy: it can be as free as any other distro :)
[15:07] <k1l> maliboy: the "is it free and what is seen as free" is already philosophy only.
[15:07] <FailBit> Linux Mint is like
[15:07] <FailBit> "let's take ubuntu"
[15:07] <FailBit> "and make it like windows"
[15:07] <FailBit> "but make it harder to maintain than ubuntu"
[15:07] <cfhowlett_> FailBit, also off-topic :)
[15:08] <reisio> FailBit: kind of what Ubuntu did to Debian, no? :p
[15:08] <maliboy> haha
[15:08] <maliboy> cfhowlett_, you are off-topic
[15:08] <Night_Fury> ok let me try this again
[15:08] <Pici> Can we move on now?
[15:08] <Night_Fury> im running 14.04, wheni lock the system, it shows a pic juder the login bar.  Where is the setting for that pic so i can either remove it of change it?
[15:08] <Night_Fury> excuse the misspelling
[15:08] <reisio> maliboy: if you care, freenode has a policy that ops pretend they aren't ops while they say things that they mean to be "be quiet or I'll ban you" :)
[15:08] <cfhowlett_> Night_Fury, picture of - what?
[15:09] <k1l> i think we are done with that free-philosophy now in here. thanks
[15:09] <Night_Fury> Oh it was a pic that my daughter set,...I cant find where it was set
[15:09] <Night_Fury> I know its someplace,..i jsut cant remember where
[15:09] <reisio> k1l: if you'd just stop bringing it up :p
[15:09] <Pici> cfhowlett_: presumably the user's picture. Theres a setting in the user preferences/user creation thing, I don't know what thats called anymore though.
[15:09] <cfhowlett_> Night_Fury, and ONLY on the lock screen?  not the login?
[15:09] <Night_Fury> its when you lock the system,..its under the log in bar
[15:10] <FailBit> reisio: I kind of like it that way
[15:10] <FailBit> No halfops or any of that crap
[15:10] <cfhowlett_> Pici, yeah, I'm thinking light-dm ... somewhere

[15:11] <FailBit> oh lawd
[15:11] <FailBit> there's probably somethint messed up with v6 on us.archive.ubuntu.com
[15:11] <Majdee> Hello there
[15:11] <Majdee> I got some weird issue with VAAPI here
[15:12] <Majdee> it works only when the program is started as root
[15:12] <Majdee> same for vainfo
[15:13] <Majdee> it hangs when I start it on normal user and runs normally when launched with sudo
[15:13]  * FailBit cancels upgrade
[15:13] <FailBit> nope.
[15:14] <Majdee> maybe there's a more specific channel where I have a better chance to get some help though
[15:14] <Majdee> maybe on xorg
[15:15] <ppf> can i automatically upgrade all packages?
[15:15] <ppf> or should i do that through cron?
[15:15] <ppf> is it wise to do so, anyways?
[15:16] <Someguyoutthere> Partitionmanager on Kubuntu 14.10 won't run, is giving me a waning box "No usable devices could be found. " and messages on stderr "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kubuntu" is owned by uid 999 instead of uid 0.
[15:16] <mcphail> ppf: not wise. Some upgrades need manual intervention
[15:16] <ppf> ok
[15:16] <maliboy> reisio, Oh, he wants to block me ?
[15:16] <reisio> maliboy: just worth knowing
[15:17] <Someguyoutthere> Clearing out /var/tmp/ made the "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kubuntu" is owned by uid 999 instead of uid 0." message go away, but nothing else.
[15:17] <maliboy> ok
[15:18] <hydrajump> does `xrandr -q` output whether any external monitors are connected and if so if the mode is `mirroring` vs `extend`?
[15:18] <EriC^^> hydrajump: it will output whether any ext monitors are connected, i dont think it mentions mirroring though
[15:19] <EriC^^> hydrajump: settings > display has the mirroring option
[15:19] <joppep> hi im installing ubuntu server and could use some help with LVM
[15:20] <reisio> joppep: yeah?
[15:20] <hydrajump> EriC^^: ok thanks
[15:20] <joppep> reisio: when i installed from USB i couldnt boot without it
[15:20] <joppep> reisio: so im guessing i installed GRUB on USB=
[15:21] <reisio> joppep: without what, lvm?
[15:21] <reisio> oh without the usb
[15:21] <reisio> does that have something to do with lvm? :p
[15:21] <joppep> reisio: ye...
[15:21] <reisio> what's the problem?
[15:21] <joppep> reisio: well, i have to install on expert mode now :)
[15:21] <joppep> i think
[15:23] <reisio> so... do that?
[15:23] <javnut> anyone know why my cron jobs aren't opening up? (I set them in gnome-schedule)
[15:23] <octoid> joppep, you should be ok using the 'do something else' option of the GUI installer - you can specify which device to install grub to there
[15:24] <joppep> reisio: and therefore need help with the lvm. since i never used it before ,,
[15:24] <reisio> you don't need lvm
[15:24] <imbezol> what's the best article for the amd / intel laptop graphics?
[15:24] <cfhowlett_> imbezol, there is no one "best" article.  do your research --- lots of sources
[15:24] <ProstheticS> Guys, when my wifi network disappears for whatever reason (router reboot or something) my ubuntu box never auto reconnects, is this a normal thing, if not, is there an option i can change somewhere to make it do so, ive googled around and seen a bunch of cron scripts, but surely there is no need to go down to something hacky for this...
[15:24] <reisio> imbezol: get the intel working first if you're having trouble
[15:25] <imbezol> reisio: i'm in X no prob but the xorg.log reports GLX was not loaded because no suitable nvidia driver found
[15:25] <reisio> heh
[15:25] <imbezol> sorry, meant nvidia/intel, not amd/intel
[15:25] <reisio> ah, k
[15:26] <Someguyoutthere> ProstheticS: That's not normal. I can't help you, but knowing exactly what model your wifi card is will probably help whoever can help you.
[15:26] <imbezol> it reports the gfx card as intel(0)
[15:26] <ProstheticS> Bus 003 Device 030: ID 07d1:3303 D-Link System DWA-131 802.11n Wireless N Nano Adapter(rev.A1) [Realtek RTL8192SU]
[15:26] <reisio> imbezol: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee could be a starting point
[15:27] <jatt> javnut: you should have entries in syslog when your cronjobs run:
[15:27] <jatt> grep CRON /var/log/syslog
[15:28] <javnut> true
[15:28] <Hedgework> ProstheticS: hey there...so first off, are you using Network Manager (the default) or something else to manage your wifi connections?
[15:29] <ProstheticS> yea network manager, im on xubuntu now, was previously flat ubuntu, happened on both
[15:29] <imbezol> reisio: so does every app you want to be able to have opengl have to be started with optirun tehn?
[15:29] <ProstheticS> seems to happen on my inbuilt wifi as well (intel 7260) , which is crapper for range, which is why i use this dongle now
[15:29] <reisio> imbezol: no I wouldn't think so, but
[15:30] <reisio> imbezol: perhaps every app that you want to run with the more powerful nvidia hardware behind it
[15:30] <reisio> seen differently: every app you're willing to part with more battery power over
[15:30] <javnut> jatt: there doesn't seem to be any errors, cron thinks it ran the jobs
[15:30] <Hedgework> ProstheticS: Okay.  So, if you right-click on the applet (the network indicator on your taskbar) you can click "Edit Connections" and select the connection in question, then hit "Edit"
[15:30] <javnut> only thing I see is No MTA installed, discarding output, but that's something about mailing/notification isn't it?
[15:30] <ProstheticS> yep donezo
[15:31] <EriC^^> javnut: cron will mail you the output of the commands
[15:31] <EriC^^> javnut: you can install postfix if you want and it will send you the output to your user's mail
[15:31] <EriC^^> ( it probably contains an error or something )
[15:31] <Ascavasaion> Is anyone else here using Pidjin as their IM client to chat on Googletalk?  howcome offline messages are nto delivered to Pidjin?  I have to go into www.gmail.com to read offline messages.  Most frustrating.  Please someone?
[15:32] <javnut> EriC^^: it doesn't even open up gnome-terminal though
[15:32] <mcphail> javnut: remember you need to set your $PATH in the crontab or use full paths for all commands in the cronjobs themselves
[15:32] <EriC^^> javnut: what's the command you have?
[15:33] <ablest1980> ascavasaion there is a pidgin on freenode you should ask there
[15:33] <Ascavasaion> ablest1980: I tried, empty troom.
[15:33] <Ascavasaion> room
[15:33] <ablest1980> yes
[15:33] <javnut> EriC^^: gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home/precise/Desktop/test2.2.sh'"
[15:33] <Ascavasaion> ablest1980: Nobody in that room.
[15:33] <javnut> and it runs if I run it manually
[15:33] <EriC^^> javnut: make it ......./test2.2.sh; bash'"
[15:33] <ablest1980> oh
[15:34] <javnut> jaysus. ok, right, I copied it wrong
[15:35] <Ascavasaion> ablest1980: I wan an arse and spelled the room name incorrectly... I apologise.
[15:37] <Radon_3_> hi folks, hwhat was the command that would block all the incoming connections?
[15:37] <Radon_3_> I mean to hardne the normal ubuntu firewall?
[15:37] <cfhowlett_> !ufw | Radon_3_
[15:38] <ablest1980> ubuntu got a firewall?
[15:38] <javnut> EriC^^: nope, that didn't help
[15:38] <cfhowlett_> ablest1980, of course.
[15:38] <somsip> !ufw | ablest1980
[15:38] <ablest1980> ok thanks
[15:38] <Radon_3_> so which one should i be using? iptables? or ufw?
[15:40] <ProstheticS> ide say you should use a gui , unless you  want to do alot of reading on how to use iptables :)
[15:40] <OerHeks> sudo ufw default deny incoming
[15:40] <theadmin> Radon_3_: "ufw" is just a command that allows to manage iptables in a less confusing manner.
[15:41] <theadmin> If you know how to use iptables as it is, just use it.
[15:41] <theadmin> If not, then ufw will probably be easier for you to learn.
[15:42] <ablest1980> ablest1980@ablest1980-HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC:~$ ufw
[15:42] <ablest1980> ERROR: not enough args
[15:42] <ProstheticS> man ufw
[15:42] <theadmin> ablest1980: Yes, just running "ufw" won't do any good, you need to provide a proper command, read the manual for how to.
[15:43] <HauntedC0de> hello I have a problem with .bashrc OR .profile file
[15:43] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: What is your problem?
[15:43] <HauntedC0de> I installed gi https://www.gitignore.io/docs#install-command-line-git
[15:43] <ablest1980> ok
[15:43] <HauntedC0de> but its not working.
[15:44] <balazs> Hi, how do I know if my video card will be able to drive a monitor at full resolution ?
[15:44] <balazs> A DEll 27" one
[15:44] <HauntedC0de> I don't know what the problem is. .bashrc file -> https://www.zerobin.net/?e31f44a4f2eb010f#EJ6K/xNqd2RI+RfCmuud9NTJnZczFzxVOLA8BjNyn/A=
[15:44] <reisio> balazs: did you already pay for it?
[15:44] <balazs> not yet
[15:45] <reisio> what card is it
[15:45] <balazs> I mean I have the videocard, but not the monitors
[15:45] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: So how is it not working? Just run "gi" and you should be good.
[15:45] <reisio> what card is it
[15:45] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: In whatever way that command operates, that is
[15:45] <HauntedC0de> theadmin, it isn't creating .gitignore files, or listing the possible options with gi list
[15:46] <balazs> reisio: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130788
[15:46] <reisio> balazs: and what monitor
[15:46] <HauntedC0de> theadmin, typing gi just returns with a 1 second sleep
[15:46] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: I assume you are unable to reach the server then.
[15:47] <balazs> reisio:  http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=eep&cs=6099&sku=210-ADOF&dgc=CJ&cid=47997&lid=4279734
[15:47] <squidly> is there a way I can get ubuntu to NOT say "there was a system error" detected. when I login
[15:47] <balazs> but I'm also interested in general
[15:47] <squidly> I know the error happened I know why it happned
[15:47] <pbx> squidly, is there a "ignore future errors of this type" checkbox?
[15:47] <squidly> pbx: nope
[15:47] <balazs> I see 30Hz monitors much cheaper, and I'm not doing any gaming
[15:47] <squidly> just a "Cancel" or a report
[15:48] <nickander> 30hz monitors? you mean tvs?
[15:48] <reisio> balazs: that's quite a high res :p
[15:48] <theadmin> squidly: Well if you want you can remove apport altogether
[15:48] <theadmin> squidly: (which is what creates these popups)
[15:48] <reisio> balazs: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications says 2560x1600
[15:48] <squidly> theadmin: ok cool. Thanks
[15:48] <squidly> I'll purge that out
[15:48] <reisio> balazs: so even if the driver supported it fully, it wouldn't do the monitor's top res
[15:48] <BluesKaj_> 30hz monitors ? it would be more difficult to design such a monitor than just locking on to 59.9/60hz
[15:48] <balazs> reisio: I want to save my eyes.
[15:49] <reisio> balazs: save your eyes?
[15:49] <reisio> balazs: res has nothing to do with that
[15:49] <reisio> in fact the greater the res, the worse your eyes will probably be off :)
[15:49] <reisio> inches, though, that can help... trivially
[15:49] <reisio> if you really want to help your eyes, use a blue light filter software, like redshift, f.lux, or xcalib
[15:49] <reisio> and increase the size of text
[15:50] <reisio> and/or invert colors when feasible
[15:50] <reisio> also stop staring at a flashlight all day long
[15:50] <EriC^^> just eat carrots
[15:50] <reisio> carrots are good, too
[15:50] <reisio> although more relevant during your development :)
[15:50] <balazs> reisio: carrpts are a myth :)
[15:51] <reisio> no they exist
[15:51] <reisio> I saw one, one day
[15:51] <reisio> in the mist
[15:51] <reisio> ...of my steamer
[15:51] <EriC^^> me too
[15:51] <balazs> it was created by the Brits in WWII to explain why their pilots have a suddenly increased accuracy when they developed the radar
[15:52] <reisio> heh
[15:52] <reisio> heh
[15:52] <EriC^^> i would have said we have talking dolphins instead
[15:53] <HauntedC0de> How can I update curl to the latest version?
[15:54] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:54] <theadmin> HauntedC0de: I would not go beyond the version that is in the official repositories though. It could break stuff.
[15:55] <SupaYoshi> Hey, whats a good brwoser for a system (pentium 4 and 1 gb of ram)
[15:55] <SupaYoshi> Firefox, Vs Chrome / Chromium vs Midori, anything lighter?
[15:55] <cfhowlett_> !browser | SupaYoshi,
[15:55] <theadmin> SupaYoshi: Well, Midori is very light, indeed.
[15:55] <SupaYoshi> Yeahh
[15:55] <theadmin> SupaYoshi: If you want something lighter than that I have no idea.
[15:55] <SupaYoshi> Is there anything better though? In your opinion for old crap junk from 2004?
[15:56] <SupaYoshi> Thanks
[15:56] <Pupuser402> I am trying to get Ubuntu to load from a USB drive; however, the screen is all messed up when I boot into it.  I was able to load Puppy with no problems.  I've read that it might have to do with nvidia.  Any ideas?
[15:56] <theadmin> There *are* some lighter browsers, yes, but they are weird.
[15:56] <SupaYoshi> kk, midori it is for me then
[15:56] <SupaYoshi> whats a nice heavy website
[15:56] <SupaYoshi> to try it out? :P
[15:57] <SupaYoshi> msn.com?

[16:01] <becker_11> Hey I'm running Ubuntu 14 on Amazon Ec2 and using a key pair to log in via ssh now however I need a password to change my shell from bash to zsh and I'm not sure how to go about it
[16:02] <EriC^^> becker_11: you dont have the password of your account?
[16:02] <bedpanboy> wheres the home folder located
[16:02] <bedpanboy> i cant make sense of the linux file tree structure
[16:02] <bedpanboy> its too complicated
[16:03] <becker_11> EriC^^: Like I said I log in using a key opair so I haven't set one
[16:03] <k1l> bedpanboy: /home/<user>
[16:03] <SupaYoshi> Thanks lol
[16:03] <bedpanboy> k1l, I can't see any home folder under /
[16:03] <k1l> bedpanboy: or as a shortcut: "~/"
[16:03] <bedpanboy> only folders like bin, boot, dev etc
[16:03] <Hedgework> ProstheticS: Sorry, work called me away.  Did you still need help, or is your wifi sorted?
[16:03] <bedpanboy> I'm using FileZilla to browse.
[16:03] <becker_11> bedpanboy: in the terminal type cd <enter> then type pwd <enter> that's where your home dir is
[16:03] <bedpanboy> it wont react to ~/ either :/
[16:03] <ProstheticS> same problem, but i gotto idsappear for a bit, i'll ask again later
[16:04] <bedpanboy> Okay, thanks
[16:04] <k1l> bedpanboy: dont know what filezilla does strange things.
[16:04] <Hedgework> bedpanboy: I have no idea what some weird gui thing will show you, but if you open a terminal emulator, I can show you how to look at your filesystem.
[16:04] <hydrajump> does anyone have a laptop and an external monitor nearby and wouldn't mind sharing the output of `xrandr -q` when mirroring is turned on and when extending is turned on? I unfortunatly don't have an extra monitor handy and I'm trying to determine if the `xrandr -q` output shows any indication of mirroring vs extension
[16:04] <k1l> bedpanboy: use ssh
[16:04] <bedpanboy> Yeah the command you peeps gave me worked.
[16:04] <bedpanboy> So thanks for that.
[16:04] <bedpanboy> Is there an inherent logic to the Linux file structure
[16:04] <bedpanboy> that I can memorize for future use?
[16:04] <bedpanboy> and which doesnt require me to memorize and understand the meaning of each individual folder?
[16:04] <Hedgework> hydrajump: I do on my other machine, but it'll take me a few minutes to get to it, as I'm multitasking
[16:05] <chro> when will chromium v40 be released with ubuntu?
[16:05] <Hedgework> bedpanboy: yes, there is logic :)
[16:05] <hydrajump> Hedgework: whenever you have time it would be much appreciated ;)

[16:06] <bedpanboy> Okay, thaks a lot for your help.
[16:06] <bedpanboy> You all get a bedpan point each.
[16:06] <EriC^^> becker_11: can you use sudo?
[16:06] <becker_11> EriC^^: I can and have installed programs without password not 100% sure if I have root however
[16:07] <EriC^^> becker_11: type sudo -l
[16:08] <becker_11> User ubuntu may run the following commands on ip-172-30-9-255: (ALL : ALL) ALL (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[16:08] <EriC^^> becker_11: ok, you can run all commands without using a password
[16:09] <becker_11> fyi that ip has been changed
[16:09] <becker_11> all except chsh -s /bin/zsh
[16:09] <Pinkamena_D> Hello, after I got an ssd my somputer would freeze for a while during resume from suspend. I did some research and came to a post on OCZ forums about a kernal boot parameter which could be aded to solve the problem 'libata.force=nohrst'. Adding it did indeed solve the issue but now many times after resume I get a HDD light constantly on and the desktop does not load. I have to restart X or do a hard reboot.
[16:09] <chro> how can I know when chrome version 40 packages will be released for ubuntu?
[16:09] <LordDragon> hey all. so for some reason after i login, i get an empty desktop. no window manager. just desktop wallpaper. what can cause that?
[16:09] <Pinkamena_D> Does anyone know what this kernal parameter does exactly so I may debug further?
[16:09] <EriC^^> becker_11: type sudo <user> -s /bin/bash

[16:11] <canolucas> Hi. In my LAN, there's one server that receives external requests. Multiple URLs point to this server. According to the URL, I need to point the request to some server or another, on various ports. Right now I do this using Apache virtual hosts with modproxy (ProxyPass, ProxyReverse). Is there a cleaner way to do this ?
[16:11] <Hedgework> hydrajump: LVDS1 is the laptop screen, HDMI3 is my monitor (via a docking station)
[16:11] <becker_11> EriC^^: it returned ubuntu command not found Ubuntu is the userbane
[16:11] <becker_11> username fyi
[16:11] <hydrajump> Hedgework: awesome! thank you so much! I see the difference now
[16:11] <EriC^^> becker_11: oops, sorry, sudo chsh <user> -s /bin/bash
[16:11] <Hedgework> hydrajump: no problem :)
[16:11] <CatKiller> canolucas: Isn't that rather clean?
[16:12] <hydrajump> when "extend" mode is enabled the "extended" monitor shows "HDMI3 connected 1920x1080+1600+0" when the mode is "mirror" is shows "1920x1080+0+0"
[16:12] <CatKiller> canolucas: Virtual hosts through HTTP proxies is how most people do it
[16:12] <hydrajump> Hedgework: thanks again!!
[16:12] <CatKiller> canolucas: It's fast and powerful
[16:12] <becker_11> EriC^^: I keep getting this iduit nessage which btw is also the hostname "sudo: unable to resolve host ip-172-30-0-140"
[16:12] <Hedgework> No problem :)
[16:13] <LordDragon> Guest account has empty desktop too
[16:13] <LordDragon> whats the key combo to get a terminal?
[16:13] <CatKiller> canolucas: You could lookup squid and nginx
[16:14] <LordDragon> when i ctrl alt del i get process window with no titlebar
[16:14] <gr33n7007h> LordDragon, ctrl + alt + t
[16:14] <LordDragon> yeah this is hosed. ctrl alt t does nothing
[16:15] <canolucas> CatKiller, I know, Apache is easy, but I'm looking up for some solution that would not require a web server in this central machine. I would like to handle the request more efficiently, something like iptables, but that recognizes the host
[16:15] <sweb> what's this ? 0_o http://2imgs.com/2i/i/54bfde97/8e31436b68792192c86c212988692128/032d5872a1.p.jpg
[16:15] <becker_11> LordDragon: gr33n7007h isn't the command alt+f1 thru 7 to get a virtual term
[16:16] <sweb> during open nautilus
[16:16] <gr33n7007h> becker_11, to get a tty, tes
[16:16] <gr33n7007h> *yes
[16:16] <mcphail> LordDragon: you probably need to reset Unity. I'll need to google the command
[16:16] <OerHeks> sweb white page, tell us what is it?
[16:16] <neodymium> hello
[16:17] <becker_11> gr33n7007h: LordDragon try alt+f2 that should def work
[16:17] <sweb> OerHeks: try this http://www.2imgs.com/032d5872a1
[16:17] <canolucas> CatKiller, I think you got it. will try Squid, thank you :)
[16:17] <sweb> OerHeks: 3g free momory only 1.3 is used ...
[16:18] <LordDragon> will resetting unity break my nvidia driver setting?
[16:18] <mcphail> LordDragon: "sudo apt-get install dconf-tools" then "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/" when you are logged in. Shouldn't break anything else
[16:18] <EriC^^> LordDragon: did you try logging in with the guest account
[16:18] <LordDragon> thanks mcphail
[16:19] <mcphail> LordDragon: you might need to bring up an xterm in the blank desktop for it to work properly
[16:19] <hillshum> I've been having some wifi connection problems, but only on some networks. Others (like my roommates) have no issues. What tools can I use to further diagnose these issues and determine if I can change some configuration or just get a new wifi adapater?
[16:19] <Noah____> most of my functions return as unauthorized
[16:20] <sweb> OerHeks: i'm try google but found nothing useful :(
[16:20] <OerHeks> sweb, hard to say, what does the logs say? ~/.xsession-errors i think
[16:20] <becker_11> think I'm in a tmux session might be jamming it up. I'll quit and try again
[16:21] <LordDragon> mcphail: can i run that command from root mode in advanced boot for ubuntu?
[16:25] <theadmin> hillshum: If you have access to settings of those networks, try seeing what channel they are on.
[16:25] <theadmin> hillshum: Switching it may help.
[16:25] <LordDragon> hmm i cant get a terminal when im running X server
[16:26] <hillshum> theadmin: No go, there. One is a university network, one is an apartment.
[16:26] <theadmin> Oh. The sad.
[16:26] <becker_11> EriC^^: operator error I was inside a tmux session so it wasn't working. the curse of trying to multi task in an ssh session :)
[16:26] <LordDragon> i have my account and guest. its all i can do. an dboth give me an empty desktop
[16:26] <LordDragon> becker_11: alt + f2 didnt give me a terminal either
[16:27] <theadmin> LordDragon: Is Ctrl-Alt-F2
[16:27] <becker_11> LordDragon: does it work with any keys f2 thru to f7?
[16:27] <LordDragon> ok ctrl alt f2 gives me a black screen
[16:27] <LordDragon> no cursor
[16:28] <becker_11> LordDragon: what system are you using ? desktop / laptop etc?
[16:28] <LordDragon> desktop
[16:28] <LordDragon> nvidia gpu
[16:29] <LordDragon> 14.10
[16:29] <becker_11> LordDragon: could be a resolution error
[16:29] <becker_11> LordDragon: at the blank screen type ls <enter>
[16:29] <becker_11> LordDragon: do you see any text
[16:29] <LordDragon> nope
[16:30] <LordDragon> i see one purple line at the very top
[16:30] <LordDragon> the rest of the screen is black
[16:30] <LordDragon> no text
[16:30] <becker_11> okay I was thinking the screen res might have been set too high so the cursor was showing off the screen but I was hoping you might see some text which would at least indicate the machine was working
[16:31] <LordDragon> ive seen ppl in forums talk about this problem
[16:31] <LordDragon> they mentioned editing ssytem files to get it to use terminal in a specific mode
[16:31] <hillshum> theadmin: That said, I can see multiple cells for my apartment wifi on multiple channels
[16:31] <becker_11> LordDragon: last suggestion try typing top <enter> that fills the whole screen
[16:32] <becker_11> if it's just a resolution error you should see something
[16:32] <HauntedC0de> so I installed curl 7.40 from the curl website. BUT still running curl -V I have curl 7.30....what's the problem?
[16:32] <mcphail> LordDragon: sorry - is it a blank screen rather than a blank desktop? At what point does the screen blank? Do you see the bootloader/splash screen/login screen etc?
[16:32] <becker_11> mcphail: he's in a tty
[16:33] <becker_11> mcphail: ctrl+alt+f2 from the desktop
[16:33] <LordDragon> mcphail: it boots normal. i get the login screen. i login. as soon as i login, i get an empty desktop
[16:33] <undecim> HauntedC0de, what do you get from "wheris curl"?
[16:33] <LordDragon> if i press ctrl alt del, i get the process window with NO tite bar or controls
[16:33] <LordDragon> title*
[16:33] <LordDragon> when i press ctrl alt f2
[16:33] <HauntedC0de> undecim, curl: /usr/local/bin/curl /usr/include/curl
[16:33] <LordDragon> i get a blank black screen
[16:34] <kokut> Hello, how can i check if $var is holding an object of type x, an array or whatever? tried get_class($var) and it says it expects an object...
[16:34] <undecim> HauntedC0de, You get the same result when using the full path "/usr/local/bin/curl"?
[16:34] <LBV_User> hi all, is there any way I can upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04?
[16:34] <theadmin> LBV_User: No
[16:34] <mcphail> LordDragon: proprietary driver or open source?
[16:34] <HauntedC0de> undecim, that returns 7
[16:35] <HauntedC0de> undecim, that returns 7.40!
[16:35] <LordDragon> nvidia driver
[16:35] <undecim> HauntedC0de, What about "which curl"?
[16:35] <LordDragon> from their site
[16:35] <LordDragon> a forum said this
[16:35] <LordDragon> You probably don't have a getty process running on tty1 (the first console). Check your /etc/inittab to see if getty is started on that console in runlevel 5.
[16:35] <LBV_User> theadmin: not even upgrading to 13.04 and 13.10?
[16:35] <HauntedC0de> undecim, /home/jose/anaconda/bin/curl
[16:35] <bedpanboy> Does anyone know of a good alternative to GIMP?
[16:35] <theadmin> LBV_User: Well, 12.10 has reached end of support, and so has 13.04 so that wouldn't really work.
[16:35] <undecim> HauntedC0de, So the "which curl" binary is 7.3
[16:36] <HauntedC0de> undecim, correct
[16:36] <undecim> HauntedC0de, If you remove the curn in your home dir, it should give you 7.4 without the full path
[16:36] <LBV_User> theadmin: so I'll have to reinstall everything?
[16:36] <SchrodingersScat> bedpanboy: what are you trying to do that gimp isn't working for you?
[16:36] <mcphail> LordDragon: aargh - If you've installed the nvidia driver from their site I won't be able to help. it is a messy way to do things
[16:36] <undecim> HauntedC0de, Or change the order of $PATH
[16:36] <theadmin> LBV_User: Am afraid that's the best course of action, yes.
[16:36] <theadmin> LBV_User: Stick to LTS versions.
[16:36] <LBV_User> theadmin: when I contracted my cloud, they told me the 12.10 was the LTS
[16:36] <theadmin> You can upgrade from one LTS release to another directly, e.g. 12.04 -> 14.04
[16:37] <theadmin> LBV_User: No, 12.04 and 14.04 are LTS
[16:37] <theadmin> 12.10 is a regular release.
[16:37] <LBV_User> theadmin: yes, when I tried to upgrade I noticed this
[16:37] <bedpanboy> SchrodingersScat: I just need a GFX editing program with an intuitive UI. Something that has been designed with usability and mind and doesn't force you to google ridiculous shit like "how to deselect"
[16:37] <eric__> A quick question.  Does anyone know how to "force" ubuntu to rebuild the automatic grub.cfg?
[16:37] <bedpanboy> A comparison would be Pixelmator for OSX.
[16:37] <theadmin> eric__: sudo update-grub
[16:37] <bedpanboy> Which is a totally intuitive alternative to Photoshop.
[16:37] <eric__> I installed a kernel update with an external drive attached, and now I have a bunch of entires that don't work (unless the external drive is attached)
[16:38] <HauntedC0de> undecim, how do I do that switch?
[16:38] <LBV_User> thanks theadmin :)
[16:38] <eric__> Yeah!!!!   "sudo update-grub" did the trick.
[16:38] <eric__> Thanks.   ;)
[16:38] <undecim> HauntedC0de, Depends on how you added ~/bin to your path the begin with
[16:39] <undecim> HauntedC0de, Likely in your .bashrc you have a line like "PATH=$PATH:~/bin" or similar
[16:39] <techsuperfreak> bedpanboy: Try this link - http://bit.ly/1CPJVPp
[16:39] <LordDragon> i tried using failsafe X  mode
[16:39] <LordDragon> that doenst work either. the whole system seems hosed
[16:39] <mcphail> bedpanboy: some people like Krita. I've never used it myself
[16:40] <derjur> scripts in /etc/init are upstart... what are the scripts in /etc/init.d?   (LTS14.04)
[16:40] <bedpanboy> techsuperfreak / mcphail: Alright, thanks a lot. :-)
[16:43] <HauntedC0de> undecim, found it http://paste.ubuntu.com/9807247/
[16:43] <HauntedC0de> what do I do with it
[16:46] <zamba> after enabling jumbo frames on my NIC i'm experiencing "tx timeout" errors and i then have to restrat the machine to get network back up again
[16:47] <LordDragon> To find the correct kernel parameter, add the kernel option "vga=ask" to the end of the kernel boot line during the grub bootup screen. (Post back if you want more details on this.)
[16:47] <LordDragon> how can i do that from grub prompt?
[16:47] <derjur> zamba: does your switch/router support jumbo frames? and is it enabled?
[16:48] <zamba> derjur: my switch supports jumbo frames.. it works just fine for a while, until it just stops
[16:48] <zamba> derjur: like after a day or so
[16:49] <zamba> ah, nevermind.. looks like a big old kernel crash

[16:50] <erichf> I'm trying to install version 33 of firefox through apt, is this possible? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=48gsipbt
[16:50] <gaconsalt>  как попасть на #ubuntu-ru
[16:50] <k1l> !ru | gaconsalt
[16:50] <k1l> erichf: which ubuntu are you on?
[16:51] <erichf> 14.04
[16:52] <k1l> erichf: well its not recommended to install older versions, since there are no security patches. they just release new versions to fix old security issues
[16:52] <erichf> I know, selenium is only supporting up to 33 at the moment though
[16:53] <k1l> firefox (30.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.3)    that was the version
[16:53] <k1l> and i would not stuff that needs a insecure version, tbh
[16:54] <k1l> but i am not sure if the old file is still in the repos
[16:54] <erichf> Right now, I'm downloading the tar and linking to it --  http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cUbaGrGS
[16:54] <erichf> Thats version 30 though
[16:54] <erichf> That version is also not supported
[16:55] <erichf> Ok, I'll do this the old fashioned way :)
[16:55] <k1l> firefox (33.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
[16:57] <erichf> how did you find that?
[16:57] <erichf> And what is the command for apt?
[16:58] <erichf> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GAjmeUdU
[16:58] <k1l> erichf: its already removed form the repos
[16:58] <erichf> ah
[16:58] <erichf> so no dice
[16:59] <k1l> tell selenium to get their stuff working with recent firefox.
[17:00] <HauntedC0de> undecim, how do I find anaconda overriding that curl place
[17:05] <dgarstang> Best way to set up chroot env on Ubuntu?

[17:27] <elvisP> hello, i'm getting some font errors when I use certain apps. Do I need to restart X after I install new font packages for them to take effect?
[17:28] <theadmin> elvisP: No, that shouldn't be necessary at all.
[17:28] <elvisP> theadmin: many thanks
[17:28] <elvisP> i get this error Irssi: Unknown command: ns
[17:30] <elvisP> sorry, this error "unable to load font adobe-hevetica...75dpi.." installed the xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi
[17:30] <elvisP> perhaps its an adobe font problem.
[17:30] <OerHeks> after install " sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig " maybe?
[17:30] <elvisP> but apt-cache search fonts does not show and adobe entry.

[17:37] <tekei4> hi, guys
[17:38] <zorgborg> Hi all, I just updated, now when I open certain programs, it opens but I cannot see it (it's in the alt+tab, and highlighted on unity panel), the update was to display things, any suggestions? thanks
[17:39] <dgarstang> Well I dunno what happened. debootstrap finished. there's no bash in my chroot directory
[17:40] <cod> Hi, could someone help a novice install 32bit libs on my fresh 64bit install - I cant run the application i need to apparantly becauuse of 64bit issues, however the forum posts i'm finding are all listing old advice as the files are not found ie apt-get install lib32stdc ++ 6 fails.
[17:40] <ki7mt> momomo, try $WAR = "$2" .. Perl scripts have the space, Bash / shell does not
[17:41] <theadmin> ki7mt: It's a bash script
[17:41] <theadmin> ki7mt: hastebin has trouble guessing the language, I suppose?
[17:41] <ki7mt> momomo, If it's a shell script, them WAR="$2"
[17:41] <theadmin> ki7mt: Either way, "fi" is not a thing in perl
[17:41] <dgarstang> Why would my chrootenv, just installed with debootstrap not have /bin/bash ?
[17:42] <elvisP> ki7mt: OerHeks i installed the freefont pkg and also did the dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig but still the error persists.
[17:42] <ki7mt> theadmin, Yes, I knoe fi, is notPerl. Im well aware opf that.
[17:42] <ki7mt> WOW, my KB is hosed .. :-) /
[17:43] <arthur_> hi gang! some girls tried my ubuntu laptop (acer s7) and now the touchpad is disabled, and also some keys doesn't work. arrow key LEFT works. DOWN shows a pop-up with a cross over the touchpad. RIGHT and UP and DELETE doesn't work at all. How can i fix this?
[17:43] <Seveas> cod: libstdc++6:i386 is what you want
[17:45] <wastrel> arthur_: plug in a mouse?
[17:47] <arthur_> wastrel: yeah but that is not a very permanent solution
[17:47] <ki7mt> theadmin, Ok, think my KB is ok now. Yes, I expect the syntax highlighter on hastebin.com is either not enabled, or it needs a shebang or something to determine the code type.
[17:48] <theadmin> ki7mt: It guesses very awkwardly, even with obvious cases like PHP. You can just change the extension in the URL manually to get it to highlight correctly though.
[17:48] <r_a_x> I downloaded an executable and set its permission to execute, but when i click that file nothing happens
[17:48] <theadmin> r_a_x: It's probably a command-line program then
[17:49] <r_a_x> the file is with .run format
[17:49] <wastrel> arthur_: you should poke around in keyboard/mouse settings
[17:49] <r_a_x> theadmin, its installer for qt application
[17:50] <ki7mt> theadmin, Yeah, there not perfect .. he also needs to look at those curly brackets { }  one is double quoted. I suppose curlies are more portable to /sh and /dash but need to be consistant.
[17:50] <cod> :D thanks Seveas
[17:51] <wastrel> what's going on with {}
[17:52] <ki7mt> It it the qt-opensource installer? if so, you need command line and sudo ./qt-opensource...run and so on.
[17:52] <LostInMyHead> the old logo is registered?  http://teknosrc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/ubuntu-logo-8x6.jpg
[17:52] <ki7mt> Is it the ..
[17:52] <theadmin> ki7mt: You don't need to run that as root at all.
[17:53] <ki7mt> You do if your installing to the system folders, /.opt ois the default install location of QT
[17:53] <Pici> LostInMyHead: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy
[17:54] <dgarstang> if I am using debootstrap, and I want 64 bit, what should I use for arch? amd64? x86_64? something else?
[17:54] <ki7mt> theadmin, That's assuming of course, it's the qt-opensource installer he's actually running, he didn't say.
[17:54] <LostInMyHead> what do you think? http://www.ubuntu.travel/
[17:54] <bedpanboy> For some reason Ubuntu can't find Calculator anymore
[17:54] <bedpanboy> and when i type calculator in term it says its not installed
[17:54] <bedpanboy> it worked a few days ago
[17:54] <bedpanboy> so what gives?
[17:55] <cod> Seveas: any ideas, one step closer :) before i just got no such file..../cod2_lnxded: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:55] <cod>  
[17:55] <theadmin> bedpanboy: Well, the built-in calculator is called "galculator" I think.
[17:55] <bedpanboy> theadmin: I was always able to type "calc" into search and it'd find it tho
[17:55] <minimec> arthur_: According to the following link, I would try <Fn>+<T> ... ;) http://www.manualslib.com/manual/483186/Acer-Aspire-S7-391.html?page=30#manual
[17:55] <theadmin> Yeah I know, you probably somehow uninstalled it bedpanboy
[17:55] <bedpanboy> :|
[17:56] <bedpanboy> Well, i Installed galculator
[17:56] <bedpanboy> but I still can't type calc into search
[17:56] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: it's called gnome-calculator
[17:56] <ki7mt> ^^ what he said
[17:56] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: type ls -ld /usr/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop
[17:56] <bedpanboy> How can I make it so that I can type "calc" into search and have the default calc app come up?
[17:56] <ki7mt> Dash >> Calc .. and it's there
[17:57] <bedpanboy> it says -ld not found
[17:57] <huehuehue> what is 386 deb pack?
[17:57] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: you're probably missing the .desktop
[17:57] <Seveas> cod: so the app is using libstdc++5, not 6 :)
[17:57] <huehuehue> is it for 32 bit ubuntu?
[17:57] <bedpanboy> oh nvm
[17:57] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: ok i'll give you mine, hold on
[17:57] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: ?
[17:57] <bedpanboy> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 443 nov  4 17:05 /usr/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop
[17:57] <bedpanboy> I was able to open gcalc via terminal, but id really like for it to open via search when i type "calc" into it
[17:57] <huehuehue> how do I check if I run 32 or 64 ubuntu?
[17:58] <bedpanboy> the way running "calc" in windows will open the default calc app
[17:58] <ki7mt> add a bash alias
[17:58] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: type pastebinit /usr/share/applications/gcalctool.desktop
[17:58] <zorgborg>  /quit
[17:58] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: do other searches work? maybe a filter is on?
[17:59] <rsmitty> @huehuehue type
[17:59] <rsmitty> type 'uname -a' in terminal
[17:59] <huehuehue> rsmitty: done
[17:59] <huehuehue> I got 64
[17:59] <rsmitty> if it mentions x86_64 then you're on 64 bit
[17:59] <huehuehue> do I need 686 or 86?
[17:59] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/4bddwp1E
[17:59] <huehuehue> rsmitty: yes its x86  64
[17:59] <bedpanboy> whoa you're right EriC
[17:59] <bedpanboy> no search works
[17:59] <bedpanboy> o_o
[18:00] <huehuehue> installing kingsoft office so making sure right version is on
[18:00] <bedpanboy> idk why tho
[18:00] <cod> ah :) ty again Seveas, very much appreciated :D
[18:00] <huehuehue> :D
[18:00] <cod> ok, silly question, if i ./cod2 to start it..... how do i stop it :D
[18:01] <EriC^^> cod: ctrl+c
[18:01] <cod> ty :)
[18:01] <rsmitty> I haven't used kingoft, but it looks like there's not a 64 bit version.
[18:01] <michaelaguiar> I have a mdadm issue, if anyone can help
[18:01] <rsmitty> you can probably install the 32 bit deb which will have some other dependencies
[18:02] <michaelaguiar> I have a raid array with 24 drives.  2 of the drives are now returning “no superblock” or something.  Which now, some of my files are corrupt
[18:02] <dgarstang> I want to build a sandboxed environment, and I'm not sure what the better choice is, chroot or docker...
[18:02] <michaelaguiar> anyone know how to possibly fix this?
[18:02] <uroyanme> Does ubuntu have a virus checker?
[18:03] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: try pressing super+a
[18:03] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: in the dash plugins go to applications and check that it's enabled
[18:04] <EriC^^> !info clamav | uroyanme
[18:04] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, what's super?
[18:04] <ki7mt> rsmitty, Im downloading the .deb file to look at the control file, but if you use Gdebi to isntall the file, it should pull in the multi-lib dependencies needed for 32bit
[18:04] <bedpanboy> oh, win key
[18:05] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, yeah all apps are enabled
[18:05] <bedpanboy> :O
[18:05] <bedpanboy> weird
[18:05] <michaelaguiar> Anyone know if this error could be the cause of corrupt files on my drive?  mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdx1.
[18:06] <theadmin> michaelaguiar: Do you actually have 24 drives plugged in?
[18:06] <theadmin> michaelaguiar: Because if not, /dev/sdx shouldn't really exist...
[18:07] <bedpanboy> EriC^^, well, I gotta work so I guess I'll do without search for now
[18:07] <michaelaguiar> theadmin: yes, all plugged in
[18:07] <bedpanboy> but thanks a lot for helping. :)
[18:07] <theadmin> Oh... wow.
[18:07] <michaelaguiar> theadmin: I do fdisk -l and they all show up
[18:07] <dgarstang> I want to build a sandboxed environment, and I'm not sure what the better choice is, chroot or docker...
[18:07] <EriC^^> bedpanboy: no problem :)
[18:07] <theadmin> dgarstang: I'd say Docker, since it takes less space and less time to set up.
[18:07] <michaelaguiar> theadmin: sdy1 and sdx1 are 2 that return no md superblock
[18:08] <arthur_> minimec: wow that solved the touchpad! but the keys still doesn't work. this popup appears when i type arrow down: http://askubuntu.com/questions/560702/ubuntu-trackpad-warning
[18:08] <ki7mt> rsmitty, Ok, on my system, x86_64, the control file is calling of :i386 dependencies, so, unless the package names are wrong for the version of Ubuntu your running  you should be able to install it.
[18:08] <theadmin> arthur_: Is your fn key stuck or something
[18:08] <arthur_> right, up and delete doesnt do anything
[18:08] <huehuehue> when I run liveusb in persistance mode
[18:09] <arthur_> theadmin: nope it's fine
[18:09] <huehuehue> :D
[18:09] <huehuehue> will I be able to install changes I made on hd?
[18:09] <mustapha> sudo apt-get update
[18:09] <bedpanboy> I used to loathe Ubuntu (and Linux) for being so insanely buggy, but now I'm just sort of rolling with it and I've really come to appreciate how fast and responsive it is. It reminds me of how snappy the early Windows systems (I guess up to 95 or 98) were, since bloating and doing sloppy programming with lots of abstraction wasn't as widespread back then.
[18:09] <bedpanboy> It has really increased my productivity.
[18:09] <huehuehue> bedpanboy: yes
[18:09] <huehuehue> win is ok if u got 16 GB
[18:10] <huehuehue> else linux
[18:10] <bedpanboy> Well, I have 16 GB of RAM and Windows still doesn't feel as fast and responsive as Linux does.
[18:10] <bedpanboy> :)
[18:11] <michaelaguiar> anyone have any idea how to fix mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/sdx1. — and if this would cause corrupt files?
[18:11] <huehuehue> bedpanboy: lol I had fresh win 7 on 2 Gb worked fine
[18:11] <huehuehue> after sometimes it gets slow
[18:11] <huehuehue> linux also u got to select proper video card
[18:11] <huehuehue> mine works better on win
[18:12] <minimec> arthur_: I would first logout/login first or do a reboot. Afterwards, check the settings in ->Settings->Mouse&Touchpad Enable 'Tap to click' once...
[18:12] <ki7mt> You could try to reset Unity, unity --reset &  and make sure you have not somehow deleted / removed unity-place-applications and unity-place-files. log-out. and back in.
[18:13] <uroyanme> i just sudo apt-get install clamav. How do I run it from command line?

[18:28] <badintegral> Hey folks. I have a 1tb harddisk and Ubuntu installed (single partition). I want to make more partitions and dual boot windows 8. Can anyone help me please?
[18:28] <bubbasaures> badintegral, you want windows before ubuntu on the HD is all.
[18:29] <bubbasaures> front of HD
[18:29] <badintegral> Didn't get u...bubbasaures
[18:30] <michaelaguiar> OerHeks: I get this when trying to stop: mdadm: Cannot get exclusive access to /dev/md0:Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group?
[18:30] <ki7mt> ^^ that's how I do the install, Windows first, then Install Ubuntu.
[18:30] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Sure no problem, how old is the ubuntu? Couple of options just questions here.
[18:31] <badintegral> It's 14.04 I guess
[18:31] <bubbasaures> badintegral, better put is it a fresh install?
[18:32] <badintegral> Yes sir
[18:32] <arthur__> Okay so i let some girls play with my ubuntu laptop and the fucked up. the touchpad works now, but some buttons behave really weird even though the hotkeys settings are right. The DOWN arrow key displays a popup of a disabled touchpad, the LEFT arrow key works fine. the RIGHT and UP arrow key  and DELETE doesn't do anything. the raise volume key opens chromium (what?). WHAT can possible have happened?!
[18:32] <badintegral> I lost everything...all the data
[18:32] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Cool, windows is kinda funky in that to be able to access it and repair..etc it should be installed first than ubuntu is all.
[18:33] <pbx> arthur__, i think your laptop has girl germs now and you'll probably have to destroy it
[18:33] <badintegral> You mean...I should install wondows and overwrite ubuntu
[18:33] <jelly> arthur__: create a fresh new user, see how it behaves when that one logs in
[18:34] <badintegral> But still...Ubuntu won't let me access subpartition
[18:34] <techsuperfreak> arthur_: Silly question..is the Num Lock on?
[18:34] <bubbasaures> badintegral, I would, if nothing is in ubuntu now you need, and or you can backup any up you need, I would just install windows, than ubuntu.
[18:34] <fromar_> Howdy #Ubuntu, this is my first time in here.  I installed Ubuntu on an old Macbook.  I am running into a networking problem where I can reach the internet if I manually set the DNS server, but I am unable to access anything on my local network.  I found followed some instructions I found online to do this.  I need some help troubleshooting the issue.  Should I show the details here or go into a specific networking room?
[18:35] <bubbasaures> badintegral, ubuntu allows you full access to windows and windows does no access linux without some really uinstable drivers so we in general advise a ntfs partition to share stuff like documents, media..etc.
[18:37] <vbgunz> quick question, using byobu on ubuntu shows a logo in orange in the bottom left. why has the background changed from orange to purple?
[18:37] <bubbasaures> badintegral, lets do this now before any change, in ubuntu run sudo parted -l and post all the info at pastebin.com and show us the url.
[18:37] <ki7mt> Not 100% true, EasyBCD allows easy booting from Windows or Grub, and it's installed / managed from Windows.
[18:37] <bubbasaures> ki7mt, readcloser I did not say boot.
[18:38] <ki7mt> I can read thank you
[18:38] <ki7mt> "no access" is not true
[18:38] <BluesKaj_> fromar_, install samba
[18:38] <bubbasaures> ki7mt, please do not just comment without nicks and being careful to read. ;)
[18:39] <bubbasaures> ki7mt, I did not proclaim no access at all.
[18:39] <ki7mt> bubbasaures, Ok, whatever.
[18:40] <arthur_> techsuperfreak: the computer doesn't have a num lock button, so what shouln't be the problem.
[18:40] <bubbasaures> ki7mt, your attitude is not appreciated, I have been here a long time and am completely accurate here, you are clogging up help, stop that.
[18:40] <badintegral> Didn't got the command bubba
[18:40] <woopstar> I'm using debmirror to create a local mirror for my Ubuntu servers, to prevent them all to download from a offsite mirror. Some of the servers use custom ppa / others mirrors. Is it possible to have the local mirror server have it to mirror those custom sources, so it will fetch for my servers?
[18:40] <fromar_> @BluesKaj_: , i can actually access the internet just fine when I connect to a neighbor's unsecured router.  My issue seems to be on my own home network which is secured.  Will installing Samba get me any additional packages I need?
[18:41] <techsuperfreak> arthur_: I know on my small HP laptop there is a num lock that has to be enable by using a Fn key, just checking that
[18:41] <bubbasaures> badintegral, sudo parted -l
[18:42] <badintegral> Nothing's coming...
[18:42] <arthur_> jelly: i created a new user and it's the same stuff going on there
[18:42] <ki7mt> bubbasaures, I'm not clogging anything, Im correcting your mis-statement. I've been here many, many years. I don't need lectures from you.
[18:42] <bubbasaures> badintegral, This would be run in ubuntu's terminal
[18:42] <bubbasaures> badintegral, that is a small L
[18:42] <minimec> arthur_: Num Lock <Fn> + <F11>* --> http://www.manualslib.com/manual/205279/Acer-Aspire-S3-951.html?page=27
[18:43] <badintegral> Oh...sorry for misunderstanding
[18:43] <bubbasaures> no prob
[18:43] <BluesKaj_> !samba |fromar_,
[18:43] <jelly> arthur_: does this persist even after reboot?
[18:44] <badintegral> How do I copy it?
[18:44] <badintegral> Copy the log I mean?
[18:45] <bubbasaures> badintegral, you can highlight it and copy and paste to pastebin.com than save there and post the web address.
[18:45] <bubbasaures> badintegral, copy paste is in a right click
[18:46] <arthur_> minimec: hmm the only thing that happens with <fn> + <F11> is that full screen mode toggles
[18:46] <arthur_> jelly: yes it persist after reboot
[18:47] <jelly> huh

[18:49] <minimec> arthur_: I see. My "numlock" search gave me a result for an acer s3...
[18:49] <badintegral> Bubba; is there some way to get files back
[18:49] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Thanks reason I asked this was this info "Partition Table: gpt" the gpt table, this looks to be a newer computer with  UEFI setup, does any of this make sense to you, and can confirm?
[18:50] <badintegral> Computer is pretty new
[18:50] <badintegral> uefi...I don't know.
[18:50] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Cool, probably a uefi, what files to recover?
[18:51] <bubbasaures> or get back?
[18:51] <badintegral> Those which got formatted.
[18:51] <badintegral> Earlier in windows 7 i jad 4 partitions
[18:51] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Little more detail, were these is a windows now gone?
[18:51] <badintegral> Now they are formatted
[18:51] <bubbasaures> in a windows*
[18:51] <badintegral> Windows is gona
[18:51] <badintegral> Gone*
[18:52] <bubbasaures> badintegral, and you have installed ubuntu over the whole thing?
[18:52] <badintegral> Yeah
[18:53] <wathek> Hi everybody, I'm experiencing a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 I'd like to set the date to 21 Feb 2015 but it doesn't work neither from unity nor from the command line using the command sudo date -s "2015-02-21" or even by doing sudo hwclock --set --date="2015-01-21 13:40:00" && sudo hwclock -s
[18:53] <bubbasaures> badintegral, I doubt any can be recovered, once you start using the HD, and install over ever minutes use takes you farther from any recovery basically.
[18:53] <bubbasaures> every*
[18:53] <wathek> any help please ?
[18:53] <badintegral> Now I want windows along with Ubuntu. How do I proceed?
[18:54] <web> i can not browse my web server from outside
[18:54] <labTesting> badintegral - look up dual booting
[18:54] <web> do i need to setup the dns server on the ubuntu 14.04
[18:54] <labTesting> web - you may need to check your router for static/dynamic configs
[18:55] <tinty> Hi, I amunable to boot into Ubuntu. My home is encrypted. I have booted up a live usb with ubuntu. How can I view decrypt and view the files of my home?
[18:55] <tinty> *am unable
[18:55] <EriC^^> tinty: sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdxY home
[18:56] <EriC^^> tinty: then mount it as usual
[18:56] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Cool, besides this dual boot we have discussed have you though about having windows in a virtual?
[18:56] <bubbasaures> badintegral, You could do that and leave ubuntu as is
[18:56] <bubbasaures> badintegral, a virtual in this would be a container with windows running in ubuntu, you can have both at the same time.
[18:57] <labTesting> web - I went through the same issues initially.  You have your external IP address of your router and then it routes traffic to things on your network through internal ip addresses and ports. You need to configure your router to point inbound traffic to your web server
[18:58] <labTesting> such as setting inbound port 80 traffic to be routed to your internal web server's ip address.  If you go to your routers login page, you should see some options
[18:59] <fromar_> @ ubottu ,Thanks for the link.  I actually don't have any Windows computers on my network, but I do have several CrunchBang Linux computers on the network with SAMBA installed.  I am experiencing the same issue as I found in this Ubuntu discussion:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1574877   By manually setting the DNS to 4.2.2.1, i can access the outside internet, but I can't ping any addresses internal to my network.
[18:59] <tinty> EriC^^:  It says "Device /dev/sdb2 is not a valid LUKS device."
[18:59] <tinty> EriC^^:  That is my encrypted home partition
[18:59] <bubbasaures> badintegral, Also note that on this channel we work with peer review, we all help each other, so if you get contacted via a pm with different info....etc it is against the channel policy in general on supported issue, the peer review is important for your safety.
[19:02] <michaelaguiar> Quick question for someone familiar with RAIDs

[19:07] <kevinde_> I would like to enable HWE stack on my ubuntu 12.04 LTS machine, I think it is precise but I am not sure. Can I do this sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-quantal ?
[19:07] <kevinde_> Or what is the actual difference between quantal, trusty, ...

[19:14] <CtrlAltDelicious> Hey everyone... anyone familiar with apache on Ubuntu?
[19:14] <soon> I'm running a server (14.04) on my LAN. I can login to ssh from the LAN without problems (ssh user@ip). On my Router (an Asus TC-AC68U) I have set port-forwarding (port xxxx) to the servers local IP and local port 443. Similarly I forward port 80 (www). Port 80 works fine. However I can not get ssh access from WAN (ssh user@my.static.wan.ip -p xxxx)
[19:15] <soon> Any thoughts?
[19:15] <techsuperfreak> soon: did you port forward port 22?
[19:15] <soon> nope --
[19:15] <compdoc> 443 isnt ssh
[19:15] <soon> should I forward port 22 as well as 443 (or instead of)
[19:15] <techsuperfreak> soon: SSH uses port 22
[19:15] <SchrodingersScat> iirc that's the ssh port
[19:15] <SchrodingersScat> 443 is more like ssl
[19:15] <soon> ah -- where the feck did I get the idea ssh used 443 then ... weird stuff
[19:16] <kaabe> soon: techsuperfreak is right
[19:16] <techsuperfreak> soon: 443 is HTTP over SSL, 22 is SSH, and 80 is HTTP
[19:16] <soon> I'll try that asap ... be back in 5 ...
[19:16] <SchrodingersScat> will probably clear that right up
[19:17] <CtrlAltDelicious> Whats the recommend permissions on files in your apache web server directory?
[19:21] <xiphiasx1> so
[19:22] <xiphiasx1> i just installed ubuntu server
[19:22] <xiphiasx1> during the installation it detected my wifi card
[19:22] <xiphiasx1> but it seems to be nonexistent after install
[19:22] <wastrel> did you do ifconfig
[19:22] <xiphiasx1> all i get is the loopback interface
[19:23] <wastrel> did you do lspci
[19:24] <xiphiasx1> yeah i have ar9462
[19:24] <xiphiasx1> i see it in there
[19:25] <wastrel> seems like it may want ath9k module
[19:26] <xiphiasx1> modprobe ath9k, right?
[19:26] <gaconsalt> привет
[19:26] <k1l> !ru | gaconsalt
[19:27] <wastrel> should hopefully work xiphiasx1 :)
[19:27] <xiphiasx1> wastrel: even with that, ifconfig shows nothing
[19:27] <xiphiasx1> unless this time i should do ath0 up or wlan0 up
[19:27] <wastrel> if you lsmod do you see ath9k ?
[19:27] <xiphiasx1> yes
[19:28] <wastrel> ifconfig -a   ?
[19:28] <xiphiasx1> em1, lo, wlan0
[19:28] <xiphiasx1> so i guess it's just wlan0 up
[19:28] <wastrel> ifup wlan0 maybe :)

[19:38] <leafybasil> Hi all, I have 14.04 and rxvt-unicode-256color installed, but it doesn't appear to be 256-color. Should this package work by defaault?
[19:40] <michaelaguiar> Anyone available to help me with a raid issue?

[19:57] <Pici> Aww.. I had a good kick message lined up too.
[19:57] <dalekusa> !ops
[19:57] <Guest81249> This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know the process for determining which packages get updated in the LTS releases? I am running 14.04.1 LTS and the package dia (from universe) has a sginificant bug. The bug has been fixed in Debian and I wonder if it will be pulled into the next LTS release (14.04.2). I have not been able to figure out who decides when the packages get updated. Thanks.
[19:57] <Pici> dalekusa: Whats up?
[19:57] <dalekusa> ninja'd
[19:57] <kevinde_> I installed the HWE stack on my ubuntu 12.04.5 precise but after reboot my pc gets stuck before the login and shows black terminal with some text about drivers etc
[19:57] <dalekusa> that's all
[19:57] <kevinde_> how is that possible
[19:58] <dalekusa> in the mean time...
[19:58] <dalekusa> in the mean time...
[19:58] <dalekusa> How do I get my Xbox One controller to run on Utopic, which runs a kernel one version earlier than when support was added?
[19:58] <k1l> dalekusa: an op was already handling that. no need to spoil that commands and the attention
[19:58] <k1l> dalekusa: and with such a annoying stuff you will not get people to help you
[19:58] <dalekusa> yeah, didn't see Pici jump right on it
[19:59] <Pici> Tis okay, it happens :)
[20:00] <k1l> Guest81249: did you file a bug?
[20:01] <Guest81249> The bug already exists and it shows that it has been fixed in the latest Debian package. I am curious if the package will end up in LTS 14.04.2. I think that it is in 14.10, but I am not positive.
[20:01] <Nicomachus> Hey guys, how much ram does 14.04 usually take up?
[20:01] <uroyanme> where can I find
[20:01] <Guest81249> I do not know how updated packages percolate to LTS.
[20:02] <k1l> Guest81249: i am talking about a bug on launchpad.net. not any other distro bugtracker
[20:02] <Guest81249> Yes, the bug is on launchpad.net. Let me find it.
[20:03] <Nicomachus> 14.04.1, that is.
[20:03] <Guest81249> k1l: It is bug 463078 on launchpad.net.
[20:03] <k1l> usually packages get only patched not upgraded to new versions. patched for security reasons or heavy bugs.
[20:04] <Guest81249> Well, PFD and png output is broken so it seems serious to me, but I'm not sure what qualifies as "serious."
[20:04] <k1l> Guest81249: that is linked to ubuntu 9.10
[20:04] <Guest81249> It still shows up in 14.04.
[20:05] <Guest81249> This is why I ask if anyone knows the actual process.
[20:06] <k1l> Guest81249: like i said: just for heavy bugs. most times it gets patched for security and heavy bugs.
[20:07] <Guest81249> OK,  I appreciate your help.
[20:07] <k1l> Guest81249: from the comments on that bug: "Exporting to Cairo Scalable Vector Graphic (*.svg) is deprecated."
[20:07] <Nicomachus> Hey guys, I have an issue with video playback. I think I may just be maxing out the CPU, but I wanna see if I can find any other explanations first before I go to replace the CPU.
[20:08] <LonelyDanbo> I'm trying to get an old DVD drive working but it's not showing up. how can I narrow down the problem? It's using an old controller card because my new motherboard doesn't have IDE connectors. I know I did this before but for some reason it's not working now. any chance this is a BIOS setting like UEFI VS Legacy OpROM? {barely any idea what that even is}
[20:08] <Guest81249> If you read the whole thing, the bug has nothing to do with SVG. The issue is that PDF and PNG via Cairo are broken.
[20:08] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: When you run lshw does the DVD drive show up?
[20:08] <Guest81249> Some users said that SVG is one of the few things that actually works, despite it being deprecated.
[20:10] <dalekusa> How do I get my Xbox One controller to run on Utopic, which runs a kernel one version earlier than when support was added?
[20:11] <LonelyDanbo> Nicomachus, I'm not sure. having trouble finding it. ... I don't know how to read the results.
[20:11] <arthur_> Hi! i have exactly this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549182   but i can't find a solution. Is there anyone who have a clue?
[20:12] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: Can you screenshot the results of lshw and link here? Or copy the results into Pastebin?
[20:13] <Guest81249> K1l: Thanks for your help . I probably need to add myself to the launchpad bug.
[20:14] <LonelyDanbo> Nicomachus,  it wouldn't be "*-ide" right? I got a "*-isa" and "*-pci:3" with a child listing of a "*-storage" about a RAID bus controller... I'm guessing this is it.
[20:14] <k1l> Guest81249: see comment 25 of the bug report you linked
[20:14] <k1l> ans yes, mark yourself as effected is the least you could do.
[20:15] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: Should be -cdrom
[20:16] <LonelyDanbo> Nicomachus, nope. nothing like that. but then I'm using a controller card.
[20:17] <Guest81249> k1l: I saw that. I am hoping that it will make it into 14.04.2. Thanks for your help.
[20:17] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: Go ahead and paste the full results (use "sudo lshw" to get full list) here and click "submit", then copy and paste the link here so I can double check.
[20:17] <Nicomachus> Paste the full results here: http://pastebin.com/
[20:17] <Nicomachus> Then click submit and copy/paste the link to here.
[20:18] <LonelyDanbo> does that info not compromise my system at all? I'm a little paranoid. :|
[20:18] <Nicomachus> Haha, no it shouldn't. It might show your IP but that's it.
[20:19] <Nicomachus> And if you type in "/whois nicomachus" you'll see that I'm on the US Senate network right now. Nothing to worry about from me.
[20:20] <LonelyDanbo> I don't know what that US Senate network means. I'm a bit worried about all that news about NSA putting like... spyware or whatever in hardware. bleh I don't even know.
[20:21] <Nicomachus> Ha. It means I'm sitting in the US Senate office building right now. If I hacked your computer, I would lose my job and face about 100 federal charges.
[20:21] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: By the way, your IP is 165.154.93.148 and it looks like you're somewhere near Oakville, Ontario.
[20:21] <Nicomachus> But if you don't feel comfortable pasting those results, then don't.
[20:22] <LonelyDanbo> jhutchins, nice. ;}
[20:23] <LonelyDanbo> sorry I'm so useless. can't fix my own problems. can't trust anyone to fix them for me.
[20:23] <Nicomachus> maybe you can help me fix my video playback issue then!
[20:24] <LonelyDanbo> ... it's... a missing codec? :|
[20:24] <Nicomachus> Haha if only....
[20:24] <Nicomachus> that would be too easy.
[20:24] <Nicomachus> I think I'm gonna have to replace the CPU or switch to a lighter distro. But I couldn't get the lubuntu live cd to boot for some reason.
[20:25] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: Does dmesg | less show anything for detectign the card?  lspci might show it.  lspci -nn should give a pciid we can look up.
[20:25] <Nicomachus> ^
[20:26] <LonelyDanbo> checking
[20:27] <LonelyDanbo> .... that dmesg thing is... really really long.
[20:27] <Nicomachus> do "dmesg | less"
[20:27] <LonelyDanbo> I did.
[20:27] <LonelyDanbo> it's many many pages.
[20:28] <Tmo_> Hi everyone, I'm having a issues with a vm at the office that can ping externally (us.archive.ubuntu.com for instance) but hangs up on any apt-get action
[20:28] <Nicomachus> jhutchins: dmesg would list it as -cdrom also, right?
[20:30] <LonelyDanbo> hm.... there's an IDE interface IDE Controller.... but no cdrom/dvd
[20:30] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: lspci should give you a shorter output
[20:30] <Nicomachus> on lspci?
[20:30] <LonelyDanbo> no on... lspci -nn
[20:31] <Nicomachus> what's -nn?
[20:31] <LonelyDanbo> without the -nn I also get.... a RAID bus controller.... Ultra ATA/100 PCI to ATA Host Controller...
[20:32] <LonelyDanbo> I don't even know. jhutchins just told me to type it.
[20:32] <dalekusa> How do I get my Xbox One controller to run on Utopic, which runs a kernel one version earlier than when support was added?
[20:33] <Nicomachus> LonelyDanbo: I think he may have meant -n but it doesn't matter.
[20:33] <tuxinator> got a very crazy problem on ubuntu with sa-update
[20:33] <LonelyDanbo> I'm guessing the controller card is showing up but not the DVD drive.
[20:33] <Nicomachus> Doesn't look like your DVD drive is registering.
[20:33] <kostkon> Tmo_, for starters, paste the output of apt-get update for example
[20:35] <tuxinator> see http://pastebin.com/uauQs68b
[20:35] <Nicomachus> dalekusa: which kernel?
[20:35] <Nicomachus> 3.17?
[20:35] <dalekusa> 3.16
[20:35] <dalekusa> that is what I have
[20:36] <dalekusa> as I am on Utopic
[20:36] <dalekusa> Nicomachus
[20:36] <Nicomachus> Do you have qualms with upgrading to 3.17 that has the native support for the controller?
[20:36] <dalekusa> in what case would there be qualms
[20:37] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: -nn adds the eight character pciid that will tell us what driver it needs, but if it's describing it correctly it probably has the driver.
[20:37] <LonelyDanbo> I should buy a bluray drive so I don't have to deal with an archaic old IDE controller card that doesn't always work. :(
[20:37] <uroyanme> where can I find it?
[20:37] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: Chances of an IDE DVD drive still being functional are also low.
[20:37] <Nicomachus> Dalekusa: personal preference, really. idk.
[20:37] <Nicomachus> http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-kernel-3-17-on-ubuntu-14-10-ubuntu-14-04-and-derivatives/
[20:38] <jhutchins> uroyanme: Find what?
[20:38] <LonelyDanbo> jhutchins, I got it working a year ago. bleh. planned obsolescence.
[20:39] <uroyanme> ?
[20:39] <dgarstang> What does one do if one has an upstart job that doesn't stop? The process exits quite happily with a TERM signal.
[20:40] <LonelyDanbo> maybe I'll play around with BIOS settings and hope I don't break anything.
[20:40] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: When DVD drives got cheap, they got particularly unreliable.  I have one dead one in my tower, and the other one can't rip three CDs in a row - it stops reading on the third.
[20:42] <jhutchins> LonelyDanbo: When I used to build a lot of systems I had three DVD drives that I used because none of them would boot on all of the models I worked on.
[20:42] <Nicomachus> jhutchins: I have a 3 year old laptop that can't rip a CD without spinning wayyyyy too fast and causing a ton of skipping in the audio track. :/
[20:42] <LonelyDanbo> back in the day if you burned it slowly it was more reliable. I wonder if that's still true.
[20:43] <Nicomachus> can't even control speed on this one. It's just shot.
[20:43] <LonelyDanbo> I thought this was a good brand but I can't remember.
[20:44] <LonelyDanbo> I guess I could try another drive. :|
[20:44] <LonelyDanbo> uhg. why can;'t I just watch my DVD in privacy without all this work? I just want to die.
[20:45] <Tmo_> kostkon: thanks for responding 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::17)]
[20:47] <Tmo_> we think it might be be because it's using ipv6

[20:48] <amcsi> hi
[20:48] <amcsi> how do I install ubuntu stuff from an ubuntu live usb? The ubuntu installation itself is from the hard drive
[20:48] <amcsi> packages
[20:52] <ArtooDetoo> amcsi: I don't really understand the problem ... can you give some more information?
[20:52] <ArtooDetoo> or be more precise
[20:52] <Palsson> Hi, my friend is having this exact problem and there is really no anwser for it Online, have anyone solved the same kind of problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549182
[20:52] <Aje> Hi!
[20:53] <jhutchins> amcsi: I think the GUI has the ability to add the disk as a source.
[20:54] <Nivex> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+TarusBALOG/posts/Ko446v98cbX
[20:54] <Aje> How can use KDE in Ubuntu?
[20:55] <ArtooDetoo> !kde
[20:55] <squinty> amcsi:  after plugging in the usb, use your file manager to migrate to the  pool  directory.  deb's should be stored in various sub directories under it
[20:55] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: I need to install wireless drivers for a laptop with ubuntu. All I have at my disposal is the bootable USB with ubuntu at my disposal; no ethernet cables
[20:55] <k1l> Aje: well, install it
[20:56] <DarkElement> Heyo
[20:56] <ArtooDetoo> amcsi: and wireless worked in the live system?
[20:57] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: yes it did. But now with the hard drive install it doesn't work
[20:58] <Nensher> um
[20:58] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: now if I select the driver among the "Additional drivers" and press apply changes, it selects the "Do not use the device" option for me and fails.
[20:59] <ArtooDetoo> amcsi: do you know which package you will need?
[21:00] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: no, but I want to try different things based on the articles and stackoverflows online
[21:01] <arthur_> anyone knows why DOWN ARROW and DELETE toggle enable/disable touchpad?
[21:01] <EriC^^> arthur_: check your keyboard shortcuts , settings > keyboard
[21:01] <EriC^^> arthur_: also check the key mappings with xev
[21:02] <EriC^^> ( in the terminal )
[21:02] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: just like how anyone can install packages with the Ubuntu CD-ROM, I want to be able to install packages with the Ubuntu USB
[21:02] <Austin___> Hello. i recently started hearing noises from one of the hard drives in my headless ubuntu fileserver and so restarted the server. Now, one of my drives fails all SMART tests with smartctl with error "SCSI error aborted" (the drives are SATA). Is there any further checks i can do to validate that the drive is indeed dead before buying a new one? My dataset is backed up so i'm not worried about recovering any data
[21:02] <Austin___> Are there*
[21:02] <ArtooDetoo> amcsi: I don't have a live stick here ... is it much different from a CD?
[21:03] <ArtooDetoo> isn't it just the ISO extracted to a stick instead of burnt on a CD?
[21:04] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: there is a 1gb boot.iso file in the efi/boot directory
[21:04] <ArtooDetoo> have you tried to extract it?
[21:04] <amcsi> no
[21:06] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: once I do that, what should I do next?
[21:06] <ArtooDetoo> well ... it should give you the content of the live CD I guess
[21:06] <ArtooDetoo> or something similar
[21:07] <squinty> Austin___:  some drive manufacturers have their own disk testing software though not necessarily linux based. might want to check the site of your's
[21:10] <amcsi> sty" and
[21:10] <amcsi> ArtooDetoo: okay I see a folder called dists with "stable", "trusty", and "unstable" in them. What now?
[21:10] <Austin___> squinty: I've done that using my win7 box. Their software says it passes the SMART tests, but almost no drive information is showing in the output log bar S/N and product code. I know the drive is under warranty, but the manufacturer charges for shipping and time if the drive is found to be operational. I'd really like a definitive way to know it's dead before requesting an return
[21:11] <Austin___> not sure if there are any that are ubuntu based?
[21:11] <squinty> amcsi:  not sure if you seen this or not   <squinty> amcsi:  after plugging in the usb, use your file manager to migrate to the  pool  directory.  deb's should be stored in various sub directories under it    if all dependancies are met, then gdebi can be used for installing
[21:12] <matty_g> hey guys, quick question: what's your preferred method of accessing your computer remotely?
[21:12] <matty_g> (ie, not on the same network)
[21:12] <amcsi> squinty: what pool directory?
[21:12] <arthur_> EriC^^: i have checked the keyboard shortcuts but that is normal. i checked xev and DOWN ARROW says XF86TouchpadOff, and DELETE says XF86TouchpadON, and i have no idea what is means or how to fix it
[21:12] <squinty> Austin___:  maybe check with the hardware guys in a hardware channel.  your question isn't really ubuntu support specific
[21:12] <amcsi> squinty: and what gdebi?
[21:12] <theadmin> matty_g: I love TeamViewer.
[21:13] <amcsi> squinty: ah, found pool
[21:13] <Austin___> ah, apologies. Do any come to mind? this is the first issue of this nature i've had
[21:13] <theadmin> matty_g: It's just so convenient and simple, and it works on many operating systems. However, for server access I obviously use openssh
[21:13] <Austin___> squinty: ah, apologies. Do any come to mind? this is the first issue of this nature i've had
[21:13] <Nicomachus> Ugh, does anyone know how to turn off "joined" messages in Kiwi?
[21:13] <squinty> amcsi:  please take the time to follow and understand instructions before asking more questions. :)
[21:14] <k1l> Nicomachus: just use a  real irc client, they support disableing that messages
[21:14] <squinty> !alis | Austin___
[21:14] <Austin___> ty
[21:15] <Nicomachus> k1l: but my work computer gives malware warnings for irc client downloads. Says "irc scanner malware threat". Have to use kiwi. Now, do you have an actual answer for my question or just useless suggestions that don't apply?
[21:15] <dimi> hi. i'm trying to get xbox working on ubuntu. i followed these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller
[21:16] <dimi> but when i try to "make", i get this error http://pastebin.com/Jktu7Gs7
[21:16] <theadmin> Nicomachus: Err. Just click the settings button and uncheck "Join/part notifications"?
[21:16] <Nicomachus> dimi: what type of controller?
[21:16] <dimi> Nicomachus Xbox360 wireless
[21:16] <Nicomachus> theadmin: that was too easy, whoops.
[21:16] <Nicomachus> thanks!
[21:16] <Nicomachus> dimi: logitech, microsoft brand, something else?
[21:17] <dimi> Nicomachus: the official Xbox360 controller
[21:17] <kevinde> I am trying to backup oracle virtualbox if I backup the .VirtualBox and the folder with all the virtual machines in i am safe right
[21:17] <Nicomachus> Ok, that would be microsoft brand then. Do you know what kernel you are running?
[21:17] <Nicomachus> nvm, its in the pastebin
[21:18] <theadmin> kevinde: Virtualbox normally stores virtual machines in ~/VirtualBox VMs, not ~/.Virtualbox
[21:18] <squinty> kevinde:  there is an official virtualbox channel here on freenode.  #vbox
[21:18] <theadmin> kevinde: Make sure you get the right one. Otherwise, yeah
[21:18] <kevinde> Ok
[21:18] <kevinde> Thanks
[21:19] <theadmin> kevinde: If you wish to be completely sure, you can export all of your machines via File -> Export Appliance and then impor them back whenever by double-clcking the generated .ova file.
[21:19] <theadmin> That shouldn't really be necessary though.
[21:19] <Nicomachus> dimi: what command did you run immediately before that error?
[21:20] <amcsi> squinty: I tried installing the b43-fwcutter deb from within pool, and restarted, but it didn't work. Should I try a different deb?
[21:20] <dimi> nicomachus: i ran wget, and i made the makefile
[21:21] <k1l> dimi: that make file seems outdated
[21:21] <dimi> k1l: oh
[21:21] <Nicomachus> the how-to he's working off of was written for 7.10 :|
[21:21] <k1l> dimi: smp.h is now used instead of smp_lock.h
[21:22] <Nicomachus> and it was last updated in 2010.
[21:22] <dimi> the instructions did say it should work just fine ...
[21:22] <dimi> thanks
[21:22] <dimi> i'll try changing that in the make file, k1l
[21:23] <dimi> oh, that's not in the makefile ...
[21:24] <k1l> dimi: did you lookup if one of those answers work for you? http://askubuntu.com/questions/165210/how-do-i-get-an-xbox-360-controller-working
[21:25] <dimi> i'll check, k1l
[21:31] <dimi> oh, it apparently already works 'cause i have steam installed
[21:31] <dimi> never mind, thanks k1l and nicomachus
[21:32] <Danielc1234> I just ran a  apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk but when I do a java -version, it says it cannot find it. Where do I set that up in ubuntu?
[21:33] <quatrox> Hello guys.  Do any of you know how to enable USB networking?  modprobe usbnet does not seem to do the trick
[21:33] <wafflejock> Danielc1234, you can try, sudo dpkg-reconfigure java
[21:33] <nickander> Danielc1234: with jdk7 it seems to work
[21:33] <EriC^^> Danielc1234: type dpkg -L openjdk-6-jdk | grep bin , it will list all binaries
[21:34] <Danielc1234> I know, but the software we are going to run will only work with 1.6
[21:35] <Danielc1234> EriC^^ that command brings up the locations of it, but how can I tell if it is running?
[21:35] <Danielc1234> I see the locations.
[21:35] <nickander> ps aux | grep java ?
[21:36] <D-A-N142> i have a few questions
[21:36] <joppep> how do i abort mkfs initializing with zeroes?
[21:36] <EriC^^> joppep: ctrl+c
[21:36] <Nicomachus> dimi: lol, glad you got it solved anyway!
[21:36] <D-A-N142> i go to college and they require we use a ssh to do c++ assignments, can I use bash to login to the ssh?
[21:36] <amcsi> Squishy: so now what? Which debs should I install?
[21:36] <joppep> EriC^^: ty! saved my night. i was at 1% after 5min
[21:36] <D-A-N142> if not what's a good ssh to use
[21:37] <EriC^^> joppep: np!
[21:37] <EriC^^> D-A-N142: ssh is a protocol
[21:37] <joppep> EriC^^: do u know if theres an option to skip that part?
[21:37] <wafflejock> Danielc1234, oh sorry that was the wrong command was thinking of update-alternatives --config java
[21:37] <jhutchins> D-A-N142: Most linux distributions have the openssh client available.
[21:37] <EriC^^> D-A-N142: bash is a pretty common shell
[21:38] <jhutchins> EriC^^: You'll end up in whatever shell the ssh server is configured to use.
[21:38] <D-A-N142> jhutchins, what commands do you suggest for logging into the school computer?
[21:38] <EriC^^> jhutchins: i know
[21:38] <D-A-N142> we were using admiral but it's using an out dated version of c++ so we switched to a school made one
[21:38] <jhutchins> D-A-N142: First off, they should have instructions.
[21:38] <jhutchins> D-A-N142: General format is ssh <server>.
[21:39] <D-A-N142> the instructions were to put delmar.umsl.edu in a web browser
[21:39] <D-A-N142> can i type ssh delmar.umsl.edu in bash
[21:39] <jhutchins> D-A-N142: man ssh should give you a good idea of the possibilities.
[21:40] <k1l> D-A-N142: ask for the exact ssh login user and password (and maybe port). then you can use the "ssh" command from ubuntu in any terminal you like
[21:40] <jhutchins> D-A-N142: I would speculate that the web server has the instructions.  I can't reach it from here in K.C.
[21:41] <D-A-N142> shouldn't putty work?
[21:41] <EriC^^> joppep: nope, no idea :)
[21:42] <k1l> D-A-N142: no need for putty on ubuntu
[21:42] <D-A-N142> dang i wish i could use bash that would be l33t
[21:42] <k1l> D-A-N142: you are mixing things here.
[21:42] <mbalmer> l33t?  bash?
[21:43] <D-A-N142> well it worked
[21:43] <D-A-N142> putty to the rescur
[21:43] <k1l> D-A-N142: it doesnt matter what you use on your ubuntu machine. it all goes through ssh and then it depends on what the server offers you, like bash or dash or zdh or....
[21:43] <k1l> D-A-N142: so you dont even work on ubuntu :/
[21:44] <D-A-N142> putty does the trick apparently wish i could have used bash, would've been more rewarding
[21:44] <EriC^^> D-A-N142: you can set your shell in the ssh server
[21:44] <D-A-N142> these things are over my head apparently
[21:44] <k1l> D-A-N142: you can use bash on ubuntu.
[21:44] <D-A-N142> of course
[21:44] <EriC^^> D-A-N142: it depends what shells it offers, but to answer your question, bash is pretty common and would be good to use
[21:44] <k1l> D-A-N142: but it sounds like you are on windows anyway
[21:45] <D-A-N142> but to connect to this server requires i do a lot of configuring that goes over my head
[21:45] <D-A-N142> i'm on ubuntu
[21:45] <k1l> D-A-N142: what configuration do you need? "ssh username@server"
[21:46] <k1l> D-A-N142: or if its another port than 22 "ssh -p 12345 username@server"  just right into the terminal
[21:46] <D-A-N142> k1l I use the command "ssh" in bash and i get a "usage: ssh" list of things to input
[21:46] <matty_g> anyone have a good recommendation?
[21:46] <D-A-N142> it's 22 i believe
[21:47] <k1l> D-A-N142: please re read what i wrote. you need to give the servers url or even the username (if its another username then your ubunut user name)
[21:47] <D-A-N142> i see k1l
[21:47] <D-A-N142> i read it just now
[21:48] <D-A-N142> success
[21:52] <gueriLLaPunK> im on a vps, 12.04, and when i type fdisk -l
[21:52] <gueriLLaPunK> nothing comes up
[21:52] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: sudo fdisk -l
[21:52] <gueriLLaPunK> same :(
[21:52] <EriC^^> sudo parted -l ?
[21:53] <diamonds> When I plug in USB headphones, frequently the volume controls still control the (disabled) laptop speakers
[21:53] <gueriLLaPunK> one sec, installing parted
[21:53] <diamonds> I have to go to "sound" & click on the other output (phones)
[21:53] <gueriLLaPunK> same thing!
[21:53] <gueriLLaPunK> its just blank whenever i enter those commands
[21:53] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: lsblk ?
[21:53] <diamonds> then volume controls will work
[21:53] <gueriLLaPunK> same, EriC^^
[21:54] <Nicomachus> diamonds: common bug.
[21:54] <diamonds> anyone encountered this issue or know what could be causing the audio controller to [YES] switch the audio over but [NO] not switch the volume controls over?
[21:54] <diamonds> Nicomachus, ah!
[21:55] <Nicomachus> Just have to go into sound settings and click on the audio device you want again.
[21:55] <diamonds> not sure how to google it because it's not "ubuntu volume controls not working" or "headphones not working" which is what I get a million hits for
[21:55] <diamonds> Nicomachus, logged bug you reckon? more importantly do you know the combination of keywords to find it?
[21:56] <Nicomachus> I don't know the keywords, but I found it once... haha
[21:56] <Nicomachus> I have the same problem, often. usually when plugging in or unplugging HDMI.
[21:56] <gueriLLaPunK> my VPS is with OpenVZ
[21:56] <gueriLLaPunK> dunno if that has any bearing
[21:56] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: kind of absurd but ... ls -ld /dev/*[0-9] | grep -v "tty\|ram" ?
[21:56] <Nicomachus> Audio never switches to the HDMI output until I click it twice. Same going back to speaker audio.
[21:57] <flexus> diamonds, pulseaudio -k will restart pulse as a quckfix
[21:57] <gueriLLaPunK> Ok, trying it now, EriC^^
[21:57] <Nicomachus> flexus: I tried that with that same bug, and it did work as a tempfix but the bug was still there the next time I plugged in another audio output.
[21:57] <gueriLLaPunK> ugh. nothing!
[21:57] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: sudo blkid ?
[21:58] <gueriLLaPunK> blank
[21:58] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: i guess there's no access to the /dev i guess
[21:58] <gueriLLaPunK> like everything else. after hit enter
[21:58] <gueriLLaPunK> darn
[21:59] <gueriLLaPunK> im having very poor disk performance, but i cant run hdparm
[21:59] <gueriLLaPunK> since it doesn't see /dev/
[21:59] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: type df
[21:59] <hydrajump> how do you start a lightdm session (for testing purposes) via ssh? I don't want the X server forwarded I just want to start the lightdm session remotely as a user would do locally when logging in
[22:00] <jrg> blah. waiting for the ubuntu iso to finish downloading
[22:00] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks EriC^^
[22:00] <gueriLLaPunK> i see /dev/ploop11738p1 103210272 80705964  17785952  82% /
[22:00] <jrg> want to go to unity .. it seems better than kde tbh
[22:00] <novasdream> Hello.. How i can detect a arduino device in my Ubuntu ?
[22:01] <hydrajump> novasdream: maybe `lsusb`
[22:01] <Nicomachus> novasdream: lshw
[22:01] <gueriLLaPunK> now, what command do i enter to test the disk performance?  sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/ploop11738p1
[22:01] <gueriLLaPunK> doesnt work
[22:02] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: can you access /dev/ploop.. ? ls -ld /dev/ploop ?
[22:02] <rurumate> Hi, I have a proprietary tool (from juniper networks) that makes overwrites resolv.conf, to connect me to a "VPN". Naturally this gets overwritten after a few minutes, and I have to reconnect. Is there a way to stop regeneration of /etc/resolv.conf?
[22:02] <gueriLLaPunK> no such file or dir
[22:03] <k1l> gueriLLaPunK: on a openvz i dont think that will work like you want, try this: http://serverfault.com/questions/161441/how-can-i-test-hd-performance-on-an-openvz-container
[22:03] <Joadr> hello
[22:03] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks k1l, ill try that
[22:03] <jhutchins> rurumate: resolv.conf is generated by resolvconf, usually based on info received from dhcp and configured in dhclient.conf
[22:03] <gueriLLaPunK> EriC^^, this is what df shows me
[22:03] <gueriLLaPunK> http://pastie.org/9849043
[22:03] <jhutchins> !resolv.conf
[22:04] <k1l> gueriLLaPunK: see this thread for other results: http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/42/test-the-disk-i-o-of-your-vps
[22:04] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks guys. i gotta run, bbl
[22:04] <jhutchins> rurumate: You can fight it and try making the file immutable, but it's better to work with the system.
[22:04] <Joadr> is there a way to customize the mouse buttons? cause my mouse has 6 buttons and the 2 ones on the left, do back and foward in the web browser.. instead of that I would like them to change my workspace
[22:04] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: try cat /proc/partitions
[22:05] <EriC^^> gueriLLaPunK: maybe you can create your own device file with mknod using the major and minor numbers from there
[22:05] <rurumate> jhutchins: many thanks
[22:05] <jhutchins> !mouse | Joadr
[22:07] <Joadr> jhutchins: I get that you can do it the super mega ninja hacker way but is there a friendly way?
[22:07] <Joadr> I don't understand anything that says
[22:08] <novasdream> how i can see my ports COM and set permissions to read ?
[22:11] <jhutchins> novasdream: setserial -g /dev/ttyS*
[22:12] <jhutchins> novasdream: What are you actually trying to do?
[22:12] <novasdream> jhutchins, Allow a site to see my arduino https://codebender.cc/how_it_works
[22:13] <novasdream> I check in channel arduino.. but they say to check here.. I need make changes in SO not in Arduino to it work
[22:13] <jhutchins> novasdream: What kind of information is the Arduino sending?
[22:13] <Vladimirski> I want to install periscope ( the subtitle downloader) but the repository doesn't seem to have it,:/
[22:15] <novasdream> jhutchins, Nothing.. i cant connect or upload anything.. i dont know why
[22:15] <jhutchins> novasdream: You probably want to use a terminal program like minicom to manage it.
[22:16] <jhutchins> novasdream: I don't know what kind of interface it has.
[22:17] <goddard> i cant restore my back up with duplicity
[22:17] <goddard> http://pastebin.com/qzzR7Y2M
[22:17] <goddard> anyone have any ideas?
[22:18] <Joadr> jhutchins, and by the way that guide uses a software called imwheel which doesn't work for me on ubuntu 14.04 gnome desktop
[22:18] <Jef91> I did something to my Ubuntu install and now my Vterms don't work (not sure what exactly broke them - been adding and removing a bunch of packages) any suggestions where to start debugging? ctrl+alt+f1 just gives me a black screen
[22:18] <Joadr> the application crashes and asks me to report the problems
[22:19] <EriC^^> Jef91: type ps a
[22:19] <jhutchins> Joadr: I know they can be configured in an xorg.conf file, but I don't have any details for you.  You can configure just the mouse these days.
[22:19] <Jef91> EriC^^: like run "ps a" in terminal?
[22:20] <EriC^^> yeah
[22:20] <Jef91> EriC^^:output -> https://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-54c0261dafe410.15456153.png
[22:21] <jhutchins> Joadr: I wouldn't be surprized if you could find something by googling linux <mousemodelname> or xorg <mousemodelname>
[22:21] <EriC^^> Jef91: that was quick
[22:21] <EriC^^> Jef91: howd you do that? enlightenment thing?
[22:22] <Jef91> EriC^^: yea the Enlightenment screenshot tool has a upload button
[22:22] <Jef91> puts it right on that page and hands you a URL
[22:22] <EriC^^> Jef91: cool
[22:22] <EriC^^> Jef91: you're missing some stuff, this is mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/9810801/
[22:22] <EriC^^> no getty
[22:22] <Jef91> EriC^^:thanks. no getty yea
[22:23]  * Jef91 goes splunking
[22:23] <Jef91> EriC^^:any idea what the default getty password is?
[22:24] <Jef91> or what package provides getty for Ubuntu normally?
[22:24] <EriC^^> !find getty
[22:24] <Jef91> Yea, few different ones
[22:25] <EriC^^> none are installed on my system
[22:25] <EriC^^> hold on
[22:25] <Jef91> hrm interesting
[22:25] <melray> Hi running Ubuntu 14.10 and I can't find out how to make the default terminal program open at the size I adjust it to? I checked in my home directory looking for a hidden file that I could edit to set the x,y and size options..
[22:27] <g4vr0che> melray: There's an option in Edit > Profile Preferences for the default size.
[22:28] <goddard> i cant restore my back up with duplicity
[22:28] <goddard> anyone have any ideas?
[22:28] <goddard> http://pastebin.com/qzzR7Y2M
[22:28] <melray> g4vr0che: Yeah thanks guess I'm just getting blind...thank you
[22:28] <g4vr0che> melray: No problem! =)
[22:29] <jhutchins> Jef91: /sbin/gettty is part of the util-linux package, should be installed by default.
[22:29] <jhutchins> two t's
[22:32] <Jef91> jhutchins that package is installed and I have the getty command. Any idea why it isn't running at startup?
[22:33] <gryg> Hello, I have switched my motherboard from p55 to z97. Elementary os (ubuntu 12.04) starts but network isnt detected. Any thoughts how to fix this?
[22:34] <goddard> ubuntu's backup program is total crap
[22:35] <k1l> goddard: did you change anything with python?
[22:36] <k1l> gryg: you will need to ask that the elementary os guys
[22:36] <novasdream> How i can  fix serial port ?
[22:36] <goddard> k1l no
[22:38] <novasdream> I have issue using my serial port.. with my arduino.. anyone can help me with that issue ?
[22:40] <k1l> goddard: could be an issue with that device that is  sf_backup
[22:40] <kevinde> How can I add apps to the top panel in ubuntu 14.04?
[22:42] <Jef91> hey EriC^^ you still around
[22:43] <g4vr0che> kevinde: The top panel can't normally have any apps attached to it, but you can add them to the launcher (on the left).
[22:43] <EriC^^> Jef91: yeah, what's up?
[22:43] <kevinde> I installed the System Load Indicator and would like to show it up there
[22:43] <kevinde> isnt that possible
[22:44] <g4vr0che> IKR?
[22:44] <g4vr0che> Whoops, sorry guys, wrong window
[22:44] <novasdream> I have issue using my serial port..
[22:44] <novasdream> how i can fix that ?
[22:44] <g4vr0che> kevinde: Which package is that in? I'll see if I can't figure it out.
[22:45] <Jef91> EriC^^: Do you have /etc/init.d/ttyN files?
[22:45] <Jef91> Found something online referenncing those and I don't have them here
[22:45] <EriC^^> yup
[22:45] <kevinde> system load indicator on ubuntu software center
[22:45] <Jef91> EriC^^:can you pastebin me the contents of one or two of them?
[22:45] <EriC^^> ah wait no
[22:45] <g4vr0che> kevinde: Have you logged out and back in yet?
[22:45] <kevinde> yes
[22:45] <k1l> kevinde: then start it
[22:45] <Jef91> :(
[22:46] <Jef91> OK so thats not it
[22:46] <EriC^^> Jef91: they should be in /etc/init
[22:46] <trism> kevinde: if it is indicator-multiload you need to run /usr/bin/indicator-multiload first or search for it in the dash, then there should be a menu option to autostart it
[22:46] <kevinde> yes it works now ;)
[22:46] <kevinde> thanks
[22:46] <k1l> kevinde: its not like the old days 10 years ago where you rightclick the panel and add stuff. now you start programs that automatically set themselves there
[22:46] <EriC^^> Jef91: do you have anything in /etc/init ?
[22:47] <Jef91> EriC^^:there is a bunch of stuff there, but no tty confs
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> thanks k1l for the link
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/42/test-the-disk-i-o-of-your-vps
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> i got 92MB/s
[22:47] <gueriLLaPunK> :\
[22:47] <EriC^^> Jef91: ok, hold on
[22:48] <gueriLLaPunK> that seems slow. 92MB/s for disk io
[22:48] <EriC^^> Jef91: this is my tty1.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/9811097/
[22:48] <Jef91> EriC^^:I wonder what generats those fies and why they aren't there
[22:48] <Jef91> are they from a package?
[22:48] <gryg> k1l: ok, but how this issue can be solved in ubuntu 12.04?
[22:49] <Jef91> thanks EriC^^
[22:49] <Jef91> trying this now
[22:49] <EriC^^> Jef91: no problem hold on
[22:50] <michaelaguiar> Anyone familiar with software raids that can give me a hand?
[22:50] <EriC^^> im running gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u | xargs dpkg -L | grep -C10 tty1
[22:50] <Jef91> ha kk
[22:50] <Jef91> let me know
[22:50] <Jef91> :)
[22:50] <Jef91> cause I might be missing other things if they are from a package
[22:50] <michaelaguiar> I have a 24 drive RAID.  a few days ago it wouldn’t mount, and I found that two of these drives suddently say “no md super block” or something when I do mdadm examine
[22:51] <michaelaguiar> I was able to get the raid mounted and get all my files, however, some of the files are corrupt now, which is my problem
[22:51] <michaelaguiar> Could this be the reason for the corrupt files?
[22:51] <EriC^^> Jef91: upstart installs them
[22:54] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: what RAID level was it?
[22:54] <Jef91> EriC^^: odd does it install them when upstart is installed or do I have to run a command?
[22:54] <Jef91> Cause upstart is there
[22:54] <EriC^^> Jef91: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall upstart
[22:55] <Jef91> haha
[22:55] <Jef91> just did that
[22:55] <Jef91> no dice
[22:55] <Jef91> still not there
[22:55] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: Uhh, I belied RAID6.  How can I confirm?  Sorry I wasn’t the one that set it up, just the one that needs to fix it ;)
[22:55] <EriC^^> hmm sudo dpkg-reconfigure upstart ?
[22:55] <Jef91> Still nothing
[22:55] <Jef91> I'll try manually adding the file for now
[22:55] <zerowaitstate> cat /proc/mdstat?
[22:55] <Jef91> would stilllike to know why it isn't there though
[22:56] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: … I knew that.  raid10
[22:57] <EriC^^> Jef91: does dpkg -L upstart list them ?
[22:58] <Jef91> adding that file got me a TTY at least EriC^^
[22:58] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: ah, well i guess it would depend on which disks died. If both mirrors in a particular stripe failed during a write, you would see corruption.
[22:59] <Jef91> EriC^^:really odd - it does list them
[22:59] <EriC^^> Jef91: check what's missing with dpkg -L upstart | xargs ls -ld | grep ls:
[22:59] <uroyanme> so where is it?
[22:59] <blib> how do I list bt devices on ubuntu? how do I connect to one and share the network? (command line please)
[22:59] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: looks like its not giving me that error anymore actually.  I added them back to the array, but my mdstat still says 22.  Can you assist in getting those 2 back up?
[23:00] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: https://gist.github.com/michaelaguiar/4014422bece8bf86484f
[23:00] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: there is my mdstat
[23:00] <uroyanme> Where can I go to find it? Please.
[23:00] <EriC^^> Jef91: i've an idea
[23:00] <uroyanme> #one sec
[23:00] <michaelaguiar> it says there are 22 raid devices in the array, on each examined drive, but as you see in the mdstat, there are 24, sdb1 - sdy1
[23:01] <EriC^^> Jef91: try apt-cache depends upstart | awk '/Depends/ {print$2}' | xargs sudo apt-get install --reinstall
[23:01] <k1l> uroyanme: find what?
[23:01] <uroyanme> hi #kll
[23:01] <onlineth> Hi, does anyone have any knowledge with setting hostname with a domain?
[23:01] <uroyanme> whisperto kll: Just a minit
[23:02] <Jef91> EriC^^:that is reinstalling 13 things
[23:02] <EriC^^> Jef91: ok
[23:02] <uroyanme> kll: Hi
[23:03] <Jef91> EriC^^:still no tty confs though >.<
[23:03] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: michaelaguiar I would refer to redhat's documents on restoring raid drives
[23:03] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: ok I’ll check
[23:03] <Jef91> I can just manually add them
[23:04] <Jef91> not a huge deal
[23:04] <Jef91> just odd that they just aren't being made
[23:04] <EriC^^> Jef91: yeah, did you check if anything else is missing?
[23:04] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: I would rather not ad lib support for that given that doing it incorrectly can cause loss of the data on the array
[23:04] <Jef91> EriC^^:comparing the system to my one where vterms work
[23:04] <Jef91> it appears to be the only thing missing
[23:05] <k1l> uroyanme: if you have a technical ubuntu support question just ask in here. for chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:05] <EriC^^> did you try the dpkg -L command?
[23:05] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: Oh I have everything backed up.  At this point, the files I need are corrupt, so I have nothing to lose
[23:05] <Jef91> EriC^^: https://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-54c030aa06afa4.81455468.png
[23:05] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: my guess, though, is that a drive is reported bad in the set, and needs to either be replaced, or soft-failed and rebuilt
[23:06] <Jef91> EriC^^:the only files that dpkg -L command says it cannont find are the tty files
[23:06] <Jef91> 1-6
[23:08] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: So the missing superblock issue seems fixed, so I just need to get them back on to be mounted
[23:09] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: actually, based on your mdstat, it looks like the last two drives are set up as hot spares
[23:09] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: do this: mdadm --detail /dev/md0
[23:10] <michaelaguiar> ah yes, the (S) next to them
[23:10] <EriC^^> Jef91: these are mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/9811333/
[23:11] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: https://gist.github.com/michaelaguiar/0bc8cc334d9a90cacdbf
[23:11] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: yep, looks like your right.  How can I get those two back in the batch with the rest?
[23:11] <blib> anyone who has played with bluetooth network sharing with a phone here?
[23:12] <Jef91> thank EriC^^
[23:13] <Jef91> I gotta run, but you were super helpful. If you ever find yourself in the middle of IL dinner is on me
[23:14] <EriC^^> Jef91: no problem
[23:15] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: are you certain you did not originally have 2 hot spares configured?
[23:15] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: for a 24-disk array on raid 10, that is not abnormal
[23:15] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: Yes, very certain.  My entire 24 disk raid wouldn’t mount, and I went through hell until I tried to set these as spares, which let me mount
[23:16] <zerowaitstate> ah
[23:17] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: So I finally got it mounted, and ran across a few important files that are corrupt, that I am trying to get back
[23:17] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: so I was hoping getting these two back would fix it.
[23:18] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: readding the drives to the set will cause a rebuild, which will erase the data on the drive
[23:18] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: ah, so if my files are corrupt now, they are lost?
[23:19] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: is there anyway to just mount these drives separately and see if my files are on there?
[23:19] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: given that RAID10 stripes across disks, whether you would recover the whole file or a portion would depend on file alignment and stripe size
[23:20] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: not really sure what that means.  Is it a lost cause?
[23:20] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: my guess is it is a major undertaking yes
[23:21] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: if you have consistent backup of the array, I would rebuild the entire RAID set and restore from backup.
[23:21] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: but I don't know your business situation
[23:22] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: the issue was that the guy who set this up, didn’t setup backups.  The backup I have is after this issue, so the files are still corrupt
[23:22] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: nice
[23:23] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: so 12 drives are storage, the other 12 are mirrors.  A file that was saved on the 15th is now corrupt after this,  I’m just digging for a way to get it back
[23:23] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: are you certain it is just one file?
[23:23] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: No there are a couple files, but this one file is the most important.  I can deal with losing the others
[23:24] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: check this out: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Recovering_a_failed_software_RAID
[23:25] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: cool, ill look it over.  Thanks
[23:27] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: i feel ur pain man. i had a 12 disk raid 5 double-disk fail on me my first day on a job, and the previous guy had only 1 backup set, which was partially overwritten during the failure
[23:27] <michaelaguiar> zerowaitstate: ugh, yea it’s terrible.  Good learning experience I guess
[23:28] <Moonlightning> After installing Ubuntu Desktop (the installer gave no errors), my laptop didn't recognize its HDD as bootable. I've been messing around with it, and after resetting the firmware settings and renaming /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT, I get a grub shell in a smaller square in the middle of the screen.
[23:28] <zerowaitstate> michaelaguiar: well, at least on linux you have diagnostic tools. this was a hardware array. the previous guy had just silenced the audible alarm on it so no one noticed there was already a bad drive in it
[23:29] <Moonlightning> If I type `search --set=root --file /grub/grub.cfg` and then `configfile /grub/grub.cfg` at this shell, it boots normally (though it doesn't offer a menu as I expected).
[23:29] <xpro256> hi, when i log in to my session, the keyboard layout becomes unconfigured
[23:30] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: can you boot a live usb?
[23:32] <onlineth> Hi, how do I change my public dns in an aws instance with ubuntu?
[23:32] <Daryl219> Hello i was just wondering if there is any paid support that 1 knows of that they can setup a server that u let them in for you like a DNS server for example
[23:40] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: yeah.
[23:40] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: I've been using those same two commands at a liveusb's GRUB shell to boot, too
[23:41] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: are you in ubuntu right now?
[23:41] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: It's booted from the installation, yeah; but I have another computer I'm IRCing from.
[23:42] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: ok, type sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[23:42] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: Can I just Gist things instead? >.>
[23:42] <Moonlightning> I like being able to delete them when they're no longer relevant <.<
[23:42] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: yeah sure
[23:44] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: type sudo efibootmgr -v
[23:44] <EriC^^> and sudo parted -l
[23:46] <onlineth> Hey, has anyone had any success on changing a hostname to a public domain in aws in ubuntu?
[23:47] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: https://gist.github.com/BlacklightShining/f727c8c741090a2b4fb5 and https://gist.github.com/BlacklightShining/10d3b229a41b768d47be
[23:54] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: did your pc come with windows preinstalled
[23:54] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: yeah
[23:54] <EriC^^> which brand?
[23:54] <Moonlightning> Toshiba.
[23:54] <EriC^^> is the pc
[23:55] <EriC^^> ok, try sudo grub-install -recheck /dev/sda
[23:55] <EriC^^> and sudo update-grub
[23:56] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: and then try rebooting?
[23:56] <EriC^^> not yet
[23:56] <EriC^^> sudo efibootmgr -v
[23:57] <Moonlightning> https://gist.github.com/BlacklightShining/4f499ee8695eb0bf86d5
[23:58] <Moonlightning> It does this. If I reboot and check again, the /ubuntu/ entry will be different
[23:58] <EriC^^> ok, try to reboot
[23:58] <Moonlightning> The `HD` and `File` bits will be gone, and there'll be something else with what looks like a filesystem UID
[23:59] <Moonlightning> I get a purple screen. No logo or anything, just purple.
