[00:00] <Moonlightning> Screen turned off and back on, and now it's booting normally (got a passphrase prompt)
[00:01] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: https://gist.github.com/BlacklightShining/6ab4158f7de5dfdd2e44
[00:03] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: it wont boot anymore?
[00:03] <mave_> anyone have an idea what might cause this as a result of 'aptitude update'?
[00:03] <mave_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9811800/
[00:03] <mave_> google isn't very helpful
[00:04] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: it skipped the GRUB menu and stuck on a solid purple screen for half a minute during the boot, but otherwise it booted normally
[00:05] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: if you restart will it still boot?
[00:06]  * Moonlightning reboots again
[00:06] <EriC^^> ok
[00:07] <Moonlightning> Yep. Manufacturer's logo, then solid purple screen for about 30 seconds, then I get the usual boot messages and the passphrase prompt.
[00:07] <EriC^^> ok
[00:08] <kostkon> mave_, already tried aptitude clean?
[00:09] <Corvette> Having changed hardware and not doing a fresh install of ubuntu, is it possible that this would be the reason for Ubuntu not detecting a new sound card?
[00:10] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: So…next questions. Why don't I get a GRUB menu, and why does it stick on that purple screen for so long?
[00:10] <Moonlightning> 'cos it doesn't do that when I boot from the liveusb
[00:10] <EriC^^> Moonlightning: you wont get a grub menu unless you modify /etc/default/grub
[00:10] <bufferloss> Moonlightning, do you have any other OS installed? or just ubuntu?
[00:11] <bufferloss> I get a grub menu on boot, but I have windows on a separate disk
[00:12] <Moonlightning> bufferloss, EriC^^: Just Ubuntu, but I have multiple kernels (didn't do that manually; I just have them because updates) and there seem to be menu entries for each kernel in /etc/default/grub
[00:12] <mave_> good point kostkon, i will try
[00:12] <bekks> Moonlightning: So just remove old, unused, kernels.
[00:12] <bufferloss> yeah, probably, though if your grub isn't configured to show itself on boot then you won't get that option
[00:12] <Moonlightning> In /boot/grub/grub.cfg *
[00:12] <bufferloss> you could configure it to show if you want
[00:12] <fermulator> does anyone have experience with ubuntu server, after a reboot, dropping to busybox? ; It shows that the root UUID partition is missing, and when I check devices, all of my mdadm devices are missing. mdadm isn't loaded in /proc/modules :(
[00:12] <Moonlightning> There're also recovery-mode menu entries
[00:13] <fermulator> and, "mdadm" is not found while in busybox, so I can't manually assemble
[00:13] <mave_> still no luck kostkon

[00:21] <glibtsyr> hey everyone
[00:32] <rocuronium> Hey guys, I seem to have a problem with the python3-apt package, which gives me errors when trying to update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9812085/  Can anyone help me out?
[00:35] <adoniscik> what's the easiest way to see the desktop of a server on 14.04?
[00:35] <adoniscik> which I SSH into
[00:35] <reisio> adoniscik: does it have a desktop installed?
[00:35] <g4vr0che> adoniscik: You can't really use the desktop on a server install by default.
[00:36] <adoniscik> I don't know if I'm using the right terms. The remote server is on Ubuntu 14.04 server, and has no screen
[00:36] <adoniscik> I have the CLI but I want to work with visual applications too
[00:37] <adoniscik> so you are saying I need to install unity or something, reisio?
[00:37] <reisio> adoniscik: ordinarily you would, yes indeed
[00:37] <reisio> what apps do you want to use
[00:37] <reisio> and why on that remote server?
[00:37] <adoniscik> it is not enough that I have unity on the local machine?
[00:37] <adoniscik> ipython notebook and a browser like chrome for starters
[00:38] <adoniscik> hell just a browser
[00:38] <A124> adoniscik: Use X11 forwarding.
[00:38] <eddieftwrox> hey everyone. its moi again
[00:38] <A124> That way you can use application without actual GUI.
[00:38] <eddieftwrox> I was curious if its possible to run windows server at the same as ubuntu and I mean bash wise
[00:38] <eddieftwrox> since im using a dedi server ^
[00:39] <adoniscik> I tried ssh -X, A124. is that the eright way?
[00:39] <A124> adoniscik: I think so, might be maybe also something else, do not remember.
[00:40] <elhoir> hello guys, i have a serious problem with one of my Ubuntu installations - i am unable to boot into it
[00:40] <elhoir> and i have no clue about what is going on
[00:40] <tardisguy42> Quick question: Ubuntu 14.10 = USB 1,2 Not reading. USB 3.0 ports work only. For why?
[00:40] <A124> adoniscik: Latency might kinda suck depending on circumstanceds and guest software acceleration. only fast thing I ever used was NX (commercial)
[00:41] <elhoir> i tought it was the plymouth-upstart-bridge error messages storm, but if i disable plymouth it behaves the same way
[00:41] <elhoir> i need help because i am not able to use Ubuntu now :/
[00:41] <elhoir> with any kernel i try to load
[00:41] <A124> tried single user mode?
[00:41] <bekks> elhoir: So which error messages do you get?
[00:41] <adoniscik> thanks, A124. I'll worry about latency once I get it working at all
[00:41] <elhoir> A124, how?
[00:42] <tardisguy42> Clarification: When IOMMU feature is disabled = Ubuntu 14.10 Will not Read USB 1.x, 2.x ports. USB 3 Functions only.
[00:42] <A124> elhoir: Google :P
[00:42] <A124> !singleuser | elhoir
[00:42] <A124> nope?
[00:42] <bekks> tardisguy42: That would implicitely mean that IOMMU is required for USB3, which isnt true.
[00:42] <elhoir> A124, problem is, i cant boot into Ubuntu, so i cant "init 2"
[00:43] <bekks> elhoir: So which error messages do you get?
[00:43] <eddieftwrox> hello? don't know if I received a reply but is it possible to launch windows server at the side of ubuntu?
[00:43] <elhoir> bekks - plymouth-upstart-bridge stops, respawning.....
[00:43] <elhoir> bekks - but nothing else
[00:43] <A124> elhoir: Google. You press "e" to edit start command, append "single" then press "b" to boot.
[00:44] <A124> I am currently compiling kernel.. so yeah.. nothing to do.
[00:44] <elhoir> A124, append "single", at any line? doesnt matter?
[00:44] <bekks> A124: How is that going to help, better use the recovery mode.
[00:45] <A124> elhoir: Oh also you can.. remove quiet
[00:45] <elhoir> A124, bekks i have tried disabling plymouth, disabling ACPI, disabling "quiet splash" and using "text"..... none of them worked
[00:45] <elhoir> A124, i did. Didnt work
[00:45] <bekks> elhoir: And the error message didnt changed
[00:45] <eddieftwrox> can anyone see my messages? o.
[00:45] <A124> elhoir single goes on the same line btw. .. but seems Like recovery time.
[00:46] <elhoir> bekks, well in fact there is no error message
[00:46] <A124> eddieftwrox: No idea what you mean be "at the side"
[00:46] <eddieftwrox> I mean like dual booting
[00:46] <bekks> A124: "in parallel".
[00:46] <tardisguy42> bekks, I said the IOMMU is disabled. USB 1,2 ports will not work, will not read mice/keyboard/flashdrives/Wireless stick
[00:46] <A124> Nope. But inside Linux, yes.
[00:46] <A124> Try VirtualBox.
[00:46] <eddieftwrox> so I can't do it on a dedi server? :L
[00:46] <bekks> eddieftwrox: Of course you can dual-boot, but not at the same time.
[00:46] <A124> eddieftwrox: And sualbooting should be possible too.
[00:46] <tardisguy42> bekks, only the USB3.0 ports are recognized correctly
[00:46] <eddieftwrox> yea I do
[00:46] <eddieftwrox> because i don't have it on a computer
[00:47] <bekks> eddieftwrox: You can use virtualbox on a dedicated server.
[00:47] <eddieftwrox> just connected via putty
[00:47] <eddieftwrox> wat
[00:47] <eddieftwrox> really?
[00:47] <A124> Yes.
[00:47] <bekks> eddieftwrox: Why not?
[00:47] <elhoir> bekks - these are the error lines i am talking about - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218100
[00:47] <bekks> pfdma.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu
[00:47] <tardisguy42> eddieftwrox, Yes You can run windows + Linux at the same time using Xen Server
[00:47] <eddieftwrox> because its linux xP
[00:47] <bekks> Sorry.
[00:48] <bekks> tardisguy42: Or using KVM, virtualbox, qemu, docker, etc.
[00:48] <elhoir> bekks - these are the error lines i am talking about - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218100
[00:48] <elhoir> beeks - but i feel that its not the problem i have :(
[00:48] <bekks> elhoir: See comment #8.
[00:49] <tardisguy42> bekks, KVM virtualbox qemu are all virtualmachines that nest in VTx amd-v. and is not a dual boot
[00:49] <elhoir> bekks, already done too
[00:49] <elhoir> didnt work
[00:49] <bekks> tardisguy42: And Xen is a virtual machine, too.
[00:50] <tardisguy42> bekks, Xen is a hypervisor virtual platform from which linux or windows is launched.
[00:50] <bekks> tardisguy42: So is KVM, virtualbox, qemu. Please get to know what hypervisors are, how hypervisors work, and what differs a level 1 hypervisor from a level 2 hypervisor before argueing ;)
[00:52] <elhoir> bekks, already done, didnt work man :(
[00:53] <bekks> elhoir: "didnt work" is pretty unspecific. Ate least the messages seen should have changed.
[00:53] <tardisguy42> Can you dual boot on a level 2 hypervisor bekks?
[00:53] <elhoir> bekks, nope. It didnt too
[00:53] <elhoir> thats why i am so confused
[00:53] <bekks> tardisguy42: You cant dualboot on a l1 hypervisor, too.
[00:54] <bekks> tardisguy42: "dualboot" means booting _without_ involving a hypervisor.
[00:54] <elhoir> btw i must use "noplymouth" via "e" and "b", because i cant update-grub (because i cant boot into Ubuntu :/
[00:54] <elhoir> )
[00:54] <jcdesign_> hi
[00:55] <tardisguy42> bekks, I already explained that caviet to him.
[00:55] <bekks> tardisguy42: So you have to choose which OS to boot when talking about "dualboot". All other boot methods arent "dualbooting" but "booting a vm".
[00:55] <bekks> tardisguy42: you did not understand that caveat yourself ;)
[00:55] <bekks> elhoir: and which line do you add "noplymouth" to?
[00:55] <elhoir> i need help guys :(
[00:55] <tardisguy42> Once the Hypervisors online You then Boot the OS's...
[00:55] <bekks> tardisguy42: Which is not correct so far.
[00:56] <elhoir> bekks, to the linux one, isnt it?
[00:56] <bekks> elhoir: "the linux one" means which line exactly?
[00:56] <elhoir> bekks, "linux <kernel verion> splash quiet noplymouth ......."
[00:56] <elhoir> that one
[00:57] <bekks> elhoir: remove quiet, remove splash, add noplymouth and tell us what happens please :)
[00:57] <tardisguy42> Whatever you say bekks enjoy your reality.
[00:57] <elhoir> ok, i must reboot (im using that computer xD )
[00:57] <bekks> tardisguy42: I do, obviously yours is different from ours. Refer to this please: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor#Classification

[00:58] <tardisguy42> Theres even a picture bekks Which comes first; the hypervisor or the OS?
[00:59] <bekks> tardisguy42: Depends on the hypervisor.
[00:59] <bazhang> could we take the hypervisor debate somewhere else please
[00:59] <tardisguy42>  #Facepalm
[00:59] <bekks> goddard: I guess the issue is you're trying to restore stuff to a vbox shared folder.

[01:08] <wimtones> Hey!
[01:08] <juddus> hi
[01:08] <avid_fan> Anyone have any tips/HowTos/suggestions on fixing a "jittery" trackpad? I have a Dell Latitude e5440 and randomly, while using having my finger on the pad it will jitter in place or even randomly teleport to another part of the screen.
[01:09] <wimtones> I have two directories of files across the internet from each other with the same files, but different folder hierarchies. Can I use rsync to do a one-time reshuffle of folder B to match folder A?
[01:10] <juddus> no idea
[01:10] <juddus> for folder thingy
[01:10] <mostro> hi all
[01:10] <avid_fan> wimtones, perhaps. rsync will sync source and destination. But reshuffle? I dunno about that. You might need to be more specific.
[01:11] <juddus> mostro: hi
[01:11] <juddus> avid_fan: has your trackpad just started to do this?
[01:12] <wimtones> avid_fan: well, I accidentally used SCP wrong, and downloaded all the files into one folder, when I wanted to download the files and folders exactly as they were
[01:12] <avid_fan> juddus, no, I'd say it's done it from the start. It's not a deal breaker for me, just annoying.
[01:12] <wimtones> wimtones: so I'm thinking maybe rsync could tell that the files are there, just in the wrong place, and create the folders and move the files into the right folders based on the source directory
[01:12] <wimtones> avid_fan: ^
[01:14] <avid_fan> wimtones, rsync will can definitely sync source and destination, including directory structure. If you're not concerned so much with overwriting the destination, check out rsync's --delete option. That will remove any files from the destination that don't exist on the source, thereby cleaning your SCP goof.
[01:14] <juddus> avid_fan: mhm, quite annoying, so you think you got a faulty touchpad?
[01:14] <wimtones> avid_fan: that sounds exactly like what I need. Thanks. I think I can go from here :)
[01:15] <avid_fan> juddus, maybe. It had windoze on it, but only briefly, and not long enough to notice any problem.
[01:16] <juddus> avelldiroll: so not a driver issue then?
[01:16] <reisio> rsync ftw
[01:16] <avid_fan> juddus, I know I've had similiar problems in the past. But they were usually fixed with some sort of update. I've tried fiddling with the controls for Mouse & Trackpad, but they haven't helped.
[01:17] <juddus> avid_fan: so when you touch the pad, the mouse just wobbles and jumps around?
[01:18] <avid_fan> juddus, more wobbles than jumping. The jumps are not as common. I wish I could recreate the event, but it's too random.
[01:18] <Moonlightning> EriC^^: Okay, I know about the menu now. What about this wait at the purple screen?
[01:21] <juddus> avid_fan: I'm not really sure what can fix it, sounds faulty to me. Doesn't appear to have the characteristics of a software issue
[01:21] <VanDerGroot> Hi guys. Having some minor problems with Samba. Not able to create files or folders but I can edit.
[01:21] <avid_fan> juddus, you're probably right. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks.
[01:23] <goddard> i cant restore my back up with duplicity
[01:23] <goddard> anyone have any ideas?
[01:23] <goddard> http://pastebin.com/qzzR7Y2M
[01:23] <avid_fan> VanDerGroot, I'd suggest checking underlying file permissions. Just because Samba says you can write, doesn't mean the file system will let you.
[01:25] <VanDerGroot> avid_fan: The user I'm logged in with has all permissions.
[01:27] <avid_fan> VanDerGroot, not trying to beat a dead horse, but all Samba permissions or all file system permissions or both?
[01:28] <viamptor> anyone able to help me out with steam error?
[01:28] <VanDerGroot> Uhm, I thought samba used a filesystem user.
[01:29] <viamptor> OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems
[01:29] <avid_fan> VanDerGroot, not necessarily. I believe you can force a user or group or both per Samba "share" but I don't believe it does by default.
[01:29] <anondawg> hello
[01:30] <avid_fan> VanDerGroot, then, of course, you can set things in/on the underlying file system iteself, including extended permissions if supported.
[01:30] <viamptor> make samba user permissions match file system user permissions
[01:31] <anondawg1> anyone here?

[01:56] <rypervenche> codepython7771: You can create a hotspot and connect to your phone's wireless.
[01:57] <rypervenche> codepython7771: I don't remember if USB tethering is a possible without jailbreaking. But wireless is :)
[01:57] <somsip> codepython7771: something like this? http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/14256/how-do-you-set-up-internet-pass-through-reverse-tether-on-linux
[01:58] <spikedbanana> the device would have to be rooted to use USB as a router, I believe you need additional software for ubuntu as well.
[01:59] <codepython7771> spikedbanana: what software do i need at the ubuntu end. Also is this easier to do using bluetooth, if yes, how?
[02:00] <xangua> a hotspot using bluetooth :/
[02:01] <xangua> codepython7771: don't you have tethering option in your phone settings? what phone/android version?
[02:01] <semitones> hi
[02:02] <codepython7771> xangua: I would have to make it a wireless hub, and then use it
[02:02] <spikedbanana> codepython7771 you would need a "driver" for ubuntu, I do believe adb (android development tools) have one built in.
[02:03] <semitones> hey yo.
[02:03] <semitones> If I'm ssh'ed into a server, can I use rsync to copy from the server to my host computer, through ssh
[02:04] <TheTopBloke> hmm
[02:04] <idenkov> @semitones You don't even need to ssh. You can pass ssh credentials to the rsync command
[02:05] <semitones> idenkov, that's what I tried originally, but I got a version protocol missmatch error
[02:05] <SchrodingersScat> rsync also has a -e ssh that you can add
[02:06] <michael_p> What's a good IRC program to use - I can't copy and paste in Xchat to get files from a bot in another channel
[02:07] <idenkov> semitones How about the cp command? can you use this in your case?
[02:07] <SchrodingersScat> michael_p: why can't you copy and paste?  but there's irssi, weechat
[02:07] <semitones> semitones, it's over the internet, so I don't think I can use cp. What about using --protocol=NUM in the rsync command
[02:07] <squinty> michael_mbp:  xchat automaticlly copies any highlighted text to the clipboard.  just highlight and then right click to paste
[02:07] <somsip> semitones: scp can be recursive, so do you need rsync functionality specifically?
[02:08] <michael_p> when I highlight and right click I don't see copy
[02:08] <idenkov> semitones - http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/106482
[02:08] <squinty> michael_mbp:  reread what I wrote
 just use ctrl+c
[02:08] <michael_p> ok thanks - got it
[02:08] <semitones> somsip, yes -- what happened was I accidentally used SCP wrong and ended up with one directory with all my files, instead of a bunch of folders with files inside, so I want to use rsync to recreate the folders and put the files back in the folders
[02:08] <semitones> thank you idenkov
[02:09] <spikedbanana> semitones: rsync -chavzP --stats user@remote.host:/path/to/copy /path/to/local/storage from localhost
[02:09] <michael_p> one other question - where does xchat put downloaded files - in the download folder in home folder - ?
[02:09] <cromagi> Hi all!
[02:11] <michael_p> thanks all - i'm off to get some files - it's been 20 years since I got files from the IRC
[02:13] <wisdise> ..
[02:15] <mulga> does anyone here have info more info on Rick Stallmans comments regarding Unity's spyware? i mean it's clear adds are being sent from search terms, but further info / links would be great. Richard Stallman is clearly a GNULin/FOSS  purist and will never compromise so i understand his point of view, however, i do love Ubuntu at the same time.
[02:16] <mulga> only came across a vid on youtube explaining his point of view this week
[02:16] <Stanley00> mulga: I saw he said that in clip named "ubuntu is spyware", IIRC, did you see that?
[02:16] <daftykins> mulga: that can be turned off so it's a moot point.
[02:17] <swordsmanz> if you dont want it on your system at all you could simply comment out anything that you dont like unity doing in scource and then recompile it
[02:17] <mulga> Stanley00: yes, that's the one i believe
[02:17] <obimod> hi
[02:17] <somsip> !adlens | mulga
[02:17] <daftykins> you don't have to, you just turn it off.
[02:18] <swordsmanz> also i have an actiual problem
[02:18] <swordsmanz> that i need help with
[02:18] <mulga> daftykins: just because it can be disabled doesn't make it a moot point
[02:18] <Stanley00> mulga: well then, I think that's all you can get about this topic :3
[02:18] <daftykins> swordsmanz: so... ask on one line with detail?
[02:18] <daftykins> mulga: sure it does.
[02:18] <mulga> i have ofc turned it off already
[02:18] <swordsmanz> the amd graphics driver has goten ubuntu into a weird dependancy loop over some compilers
[02:19] <swordsmanz> and its refuseing to apt anything
[02:19] <Stanley00> mulga: I've just found this link, hope it help https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do
[02:19] <cromagi> I cant download torrent
[02:19] <mulga> daftykins: Stallmans point is that it is a compromise of FOSS philosophy, which is a relavent point imo
[02:19] <swordsmanz> on account of fglrx-core not being installable as its dependancys are not met
[02:19] <mulga> * relevant
[02:20] <daftykins> mulga: this is general chat and not a support query, carry it on in #ubuntu-offtopic please :)
[02:20] <mulga> Stanley00, tnx for the link :)
[02:20] <swordsmanz> mulga yes but he is also a hypocrite
[02:20] <mulga> daftykins: was just after a link or more info.  no probs re:  taking of topic
[02:21] <daftykins> i'm sure someone in said channel can help you google
[02:21] <mulga> daftykins: humorous, much?
[02:22] <daftykins> no i'm serious
[02:22] <mulga> and im sarcastic
[02:22] <bazhang> mulga, swordsmanz take the chit chat elsewhere please
[02:22] <enom> how do download stuf on lunix
[02:22] <bazhang> enom same as every other OS
[02:22] <mulga> nop
[02:22] <mulga> *np
[02:23]  * swordsmanz wonders if anyone will help him 
[02:23] <OerHeks> enom, do our torrents work? http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/  if so, your torrentsource fails
[02:23] <bazhang> swordsmanz, dont do that here
[02:23] <swordsmanz> bazhang do what ?
[02:24] <bazhang> the /me swordsmanz it just creates channel noise
[02:24] <enom> but i have lunix mint 16
[02:24] <bazhang> enom, go to the mint support channel for that
[02:24] <OerHeks> enom, sad to hear
[02:25] <OerHeks> mint has its own issues
[02:25] <enom> how do i do that
[02:25] <bazhang> enom, its not supported here
[02:26] <enom> ok thank you for your timre
[02:26] <Moonlightning> On booting, my laptop shows a solid purple screen for about 40 seconds between the GRUB menu and the kernel log. I can also use the GRUB shell on the Ubuntu liveusb to boot from the installed copy, and the wait is much shorter if I do that (on the order of 5 seconds). What gives?
[02:29] <Stanley00> Moonlightning: so, you mean you using grub from liveusb to boot ubuntu on your hdd and it's faster?
[02:30] <Moonlightning> Stanley00: Yep.
[02:30] <Stanley00> Moonlightning: hmm... so you load grub config from hdd or enter the config manually?
[02:31] <Stanley00> enter = "type"
[02:33] <Moonlightning> Stanley00: `search --set=root --file /grub/grub.cfg` and `configfile /grub/grub.cfg` at the GRUB prompt
[02:33] <Noah______> I stumbled upon a website for something (i didn't read that much) I think was a way to run ubuntu and windows on the same machine at the same time like crouton does for chromebooks. Not sure if that was it but does anybody have any idea what that might have been?
[02:34] <Stanley00> Moonlightning: hmm... I think simply reinstall grub will help in this case. I'm not sure actually, but can you try that?
[02:34] <daftykins> !virtualbox | Noah______
[02:34] <Noah______> daftykins: Not virtualbox but where they are both host machines
[02:35] <Moonlightning> Stanley00: as in the package? Because I've already done `install-grub /dev/sda` and `update-grub` a few times.
[02:35] <Noah______> daftykins: it was a special usb image I believe
[02:35] <daftykins> Noah______: hmm doubt it. how would you control input for one? :P
[02:35] <Moonlightning> This is a recent clean install, btw
[02:35] <Noah______> daftykins: how does crouton do it than?
[02:36] <Noah______> daftykins: you go back and forth.
[02:36] <genewitch> Noah______: there's a way to trick ring0 in windows into loading an additional kernel, but last i saw it only worked on/with 32bit kernels
[02:36] <Stanley00> Moonlightning: the "install-grub" is the one. I'm out of ideas now. Sorry :(
[02:36] <daftykins> Noah______: ok, well i'm headed off. more a general computing question than ubuntu support, that.
[02:36] <daftykins> perhaps try ##linux
[02:36] <Noah______> daftykins: ok. checking through my google history. I should find it there
[02:37] <daftykins> g'night
[02:37] <genewitch> Moonlightning: nvidia?
[02:38] <egroeg> hi.  could someone help me w/ the apt issue?  http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=tQiYFW1R
[02:38] <egroeg> s/the/this
[02:38] <genewitch> make that not a download please
[02:38] <Moonlightning> genewitch: What?
[02:38] <genewitch> i'm not downloading some random shell file
[02:39] <genewitch> Moonlightning: do you have an nvidia or ati/amd video card
[02:39] <Noah______> Moonlightning: he is talking to egroeg
[02:39] <daftykins> so delete the download.php?i=
[02:39] <egroeg> sorry http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=tQiYFW1R
[02:40] <Moonlightning> genewitch: no dedicated graphics IIRC
[02:40] <genewitch> egroeg: yeah there's a bug in one of the perl modules
[02:40] <genewitch> egroeg: You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[02:40] <egroeg> genewitch: did that.  its in the paste
[02:40] <genewitch> heh, such useful
[02:40] <genewitch> i know
[02:40] <egroeg> ?
[02:41] <genewitch> hold on that's a kernel
[02:41] <egroeg> ah i get you.  sorry long night ;)
[02:41] <Noah______> daftykins: Oh. Found it. It wasn't it: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/features. Under "No Reboot Needed"
[02:42] <Moonlightning> genewitch: from `sudo lshw -businfo`: pci@0000:00:02.0  display  Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display
[02:42] <egroeg> genewitch: i looked at carp.pm and there's comments about it being icky backwards compat wrapper
[02:42] <genewitch> egroeg: what says: uname -r
[02:42] <semitones> Hey! I just did a chown -R, but a bunch of nested directories don't change. The files all do. What am I doing wrong?
[02:43] <egroeg> genewitch: 3.13.0-43-generic
[02:43] <genewitch> egroeg: why are you doing dist-upgrade
[02:43] <genewitch> that version is from recently
[02:43] <egroeg> genewitch: i was orginally just trying to install htop.  this is a 2 week old install
[02:44] <egroeg> genewitch: i.e., no idea
[02:44] <genewitch> egroeg: but dist-upgrade sucessfully worked when you ran it a week or two ago
[02:44] <Moonlightning> semitones: post the exact line?
[02:44] <enom> how do i download minecraaf5t
[02:44] <genewitch> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:44] <egroeg> genewitch: yes actually
[02:45] <bazhang> enom ask in the mint support channel
[02:45] <Stanley00> semitones: first, make sure you have permision to *chown* them
[02:45] <genewitch> enom: you need a JRE (java) and the minecraft.zip or whatever from mojang/microsoft's site
[02:45] <egroeg> genewitch: i started with a 8.4 disk i think
[02:45] <egroeg> something old
[02:46] <genewitch> do the one-liner i mentioned above
[02:46] <egroeg> genewitch: whatever the last lts was
[02:46] <egroeg> genewitch: ubuntu server
[02:46] <genewitch> yeah i'm on that too
[02:46] <egroeg> genewitch: me?
[02:47] <genewitch> yes i am running server
[02:47] <genewitch> the same kernel you're on
[02:47] <egroeg> genewitch: apt-get update/upgrade doesnt work
[02:47] <egroeg> its all the same error
[02:48] <Moonlightning> Stanley00, semitones: unless you're root or your account has a kernel permission, you can't `chown` anything. Not under Linux.
[02:48] <semitones> sudo chown -R patrick: /media/patrick/b48da965-6f00-4e43-9839-cbbae205f0b4/dDDb/phoo
[02:48] <egroeg> genewitch: linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic : Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic
[02:49] <samthewildone> I keep getting this error 'Incompatible version of libgstreamer'
[02:49] <semitones> It chowned the all the files fine, and the main directory, and some of the directories subdirectories, just not the directories directly beneath the main dir
[02:49] <egroeg> sudo apt-get install  linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic says Array found where operator expected at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Carp.pm
[02:49] <samthewildone> I install gstreamer and the latest version.
[02:49] <Stanley00> semitones: and then, can you check the permission of one folder that is not changed? with "ls -ld path/to/folder "
[02:49] <samthewildone> Still I get this error as it crashes my application constantly.
[02:49] <minimec> egroeg: Did you try that hint from the pastebin/error message? --> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
[02:49] <egroeg> genewitch: debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (Global symbol "$CavpLevel" requires explicit package name
[02:49] <swordsmanz> ok
[02:50] <swordsmanz> so i just removed unity
[02:50] <egroeg> minimec: yes, thanks :)  tried that
[02:50] <swordsmanz> and it borked the display manager
[02:50] <swordsmanz> any ideaS?
[02:50] <samthewildone> This is the output of application > http://pastebin.com/nW8hw5hU
[02:51] <semitones> Stanley00, aha you found it! In reality they were changed -- it just wasn't updated in nautilus. Thanks
[02:51] <Stanley00> semitones: okay then =]]
[02:51] <egroeg> genewitch: debconf on its own just barfs immediately
[02:52] <minimec> egroeg: Ok. maybe try to remove the 'linux-image-extra-3.13.0-44' package, if you still have problems after 'apt-get -f install'
[02:52] <milan> Err http://archive.linux.duke.edu raring/main Sources (404  Not Found)
[02:52] <milan> where do i find more packages
[02:52] <milan> sources*
[02:53] <Stanley00> swordsmanz: reinstall unity? j/k, but unity depends on many packages, and maybe they've just gone (including lightdm, IIRC), so you just need to reinstall one DM of your choice
[02:53] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | milan
[02:53] <bazhang> raring is eol milan
[02:53] <egroeg> minimec: what exactly is image extra?
[02:54] <swordsmanz> Stanley00 not the problem, i was really carefull to only knock out unity itself, and im not even getting as far as a console login atb just a blackscreen
[02:54] <egroeg> minimec: this is a remote machine.
[02:54] <genewitch> egroeg: the kernel source tree is like over a gigabyte, extra just has some additional stuff from the source
[02:54] <Stanley00> swordsmanz: how about press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to console login?
[02:54] <egroeg> sweet
[02:54] <egroeg> ty
[02:55] <samthewildone> anyone ?
[02:56] <minimec> egroeg: ... some extra kernel modules.
[02:56] <samthewildone> This is the output of application > http://pastebin.com/nW8hw5hU
[02:57] <egroeg> nope.  suggests i Try 'apt-get -f install' again
[02:57] <egroeg> grrrr
[02:57] <genewitch> egroeg: what i'd do, probably, is reinstall perl (forced install)
[02:57] <swordsmanz> Stanley00 there and hopeing this works
[02:57] <egroeg> a deb?
[02:57] <swordsmanz> dident let me in the first time i booted
[02:57] <egroeg> ok ill try that
[02:58] <Stanley00> swordsmanz: okay, good luck to you :3
[02:58] <genewitch> egroeg: --reinstall
[02:59] <egroeg> genewitch: apt is broken
[02:59] <dfdrrttr> please add Firefox v 35 in Lubuntu thx!
[03:00] <dfdrrttr> why is Firefox so damn slow to load?
[03:00] <Stanley00> dfdrrttr: you can get one from mozilla, I think  :P
[03:00] <dfdrrttr> need on LiveCD
[03:00] <swordsmanz> Stanley00 now its stalled halfway between bootsplash and console login
[03:00] <lelelel> hey folks I am installing lubuntu from live usb and it says unsecured partition found run swap off
[03:01] <lelelel> how do I run swap off?
[03:01] <somsip> lelelel: sudo swapoff
[03:01] <cfhowlett> dfdrrttr, 14.04.2 will have it.
[03:01] <lelelel> ty
[03:01] <genewitch> egroeg: apt-get -f remove
[03:01]  * swordsmanz trys reinsalling unity 
[03:01] <genewitch> there's a way to tell apt to ignore a package
[03:02] <dfdrrttr> 14.04.2 ??
[03:02] <lelelel> is there need for anti virus for ubuntu or not?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> dfdrrttr, next point release - April
[03:02] <cfhowlett> !virus | lelelel
[03:02] <dfdrrttr> 15.04 that is
[03:02] <Stanley00> swordsmanz: hmm... how about change ubuntu boot cmd from "quiet flash" to "text"? it'll boot into textmode (console login)
[03:02] <cfhowlett> dfdrrttr, false.  14.04.2 is the next POINT release for 14.04
[03:02] <lelelel> ty
[03:03] <dfdrrttr> ahh
[03:03] <lelelel> great linux
[03:03] <swordsmanz> Stanley00 i can get to a console now
[03:03] <egroeg> genewitch: maybe im doing this wrong? http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=iL6WDXZL
[03:04] <genewitch> egroeg: oh, apt-get --reinstall install perl
[03:04] <dfdrrttr> so why is Firefox using 30 sec to load then?
[03:04] <swordsmanz> ok it tourns out the x server is crashing out
[03:04] <minimec> egroeg: 'sudo apt-get purge image-extra-3.13.0-44-generic'
[03:04] <genewitch> and if needed, -f
[03:04] <lelelel> dfdrrttr:  fast here
[03:04] <cfhowlett> dfdrrttr, insufficient information to analyze.
[03:04] <lelelel> try chromium also
[03:04] <dfdrrttr> using liveusb atm
[03:05] <cfhowlett> dfdrrttr, livee USB is always slower than native install
[03:05] <lelelel> most likely borken config also
[03:05] <lelelel> I use live and its fast
[03:05] <genewitch> egroeg: do what minimec said
[03:05] <egroeg> no dice
[03:05] <egroeg> You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[03:05] <egroeg> im throwing this thing out the window...
[03:06] <dfdrrttr> can i post bug in here?
[03:06] <egroeg> :)
[03:06] <genewitch> minimec: it's also linux-image-3.13.0-44-generic and linux-image-generic
[03:06] <cfhowlett> !bug | dfdrrttr,
[03:06] <lelelel> I like win but win got viruses
[03:06] <lelelel> ubuntu is better but drivers are mad for video
[03:06] <lelelel> :)
[03:07] <minimec> egroeg: I would do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' again. It seems that some of your repositories are not up to date...
[03:07] <dfdrrttr> then nope...heh
[03:08] <lelelel> configuration of secured volumes failed
[03:08] <lelelel> :D
[03:08] <dfdrrttr> CYA!
[03:08] <egroeg> minimec: same error
[03:09] <lelelel> anyone else gets his eyes tired when using ubuntu with intel video drivers?
[03:09] <lelelel> anyway I will give it a try
[03:09] <egroeg> ill try again later.  thanks for helping
[03:09] <lelelel> what does configuration of secured vol failed means
[03:09] <lelelel> how do I fix it?
[03:09] <lelelel> I run sudo swapoff -a
[03:09] <lelelel> what else to do?
[03:10] <willys_fueguino> hi everyone could someone tell me if its posible to burn an iso image from a live cd?
[03:10] <lelelel> yes
[03:10] <lelelel> well any ideas?
[03:10] <lelelel> :D
[03:10] <Hades__> hy all
[03:11] <lelelel> how do I install ubuntu with encrypted files?
[03:11] <stephan> hey guys, I am having fun with terminal emulator. pretty newb here and as soon as I click open terminal it appears and some text scrolls, but it closes before I can read anything. any ideas?
[03:11] <cfhowlett> lelelel, you are all OVER the place.  focus on 1 issue.  solve it.  then move to the next one.
[03:11] <genewitch> stephan: you're not clicking open terminal
[03:11] <willys_fueguino> when i take out the live cd to put the blank cd the xfburn app and other apps starts failing
[03:11] <lelelel> cfhowlett: thats the issue - how to install with folders encrypted
[03:12] <lelelel> it gives error message
[03:12] <cfhowlett> !encryption | lelelel
[03:12] <leonardo_> things that work on ubuntu will work on xubuntu?
[03:12] <stephan> using the application button and selecting terminal emulator
[03:12] <bazhang> leonardo_, yes
[03:12] <cfhowlett> leonardo_, yes, same source, different look
[03:12] <leonardo_> thanks
[03:12] <stephan> using xfce terminal on xfce
[03:12] <Stanley00> willys_fueguino: you can't take out livecd while running, you can using liveUSB then to burn other cd
[03:12] <leonardo_> how do i answer people privately quicky?
[03:12] <leonardo_> #bahzang yes
[03:12] <lelelel> The volume group name used to automatically partition using LVM is already in use. Lowering the priority for configuration questions will allow you to specify an alternative name.
[03:13] <bazhang> !lvm | lelelel
[03:13] <dupingping> hi
[03:13] <dupingping> how to use /net?
[03:13] <swordsmanz> bleh i will solve this later
[03:13] <leonardo_> !lvm|bazhang hi
[03:13] <willys_fueguino> thanx Stanley00  had the hope that there was a way to mount the entire live cd anywhere to do that =P
[03:13] <lelelel> wtf so howto

[03:23] <Guest98982> Hello. I have installed software on my lubuntu by extracting a tgz file. It runs if I navigate to the extracted folder and open it from there. How can I add the program to the applications menu? Thanks
[03:24] <Stanley00> Guest98982: you can make an *desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications , you can look at /usr/share/applicaltions/ for an example/template of *desktop file
[03:25] <Guest98982> can you say that in noob-speak please Stanley88 :)  I've only been on linux for 2 days!
[03:26] <Stanley00> Guest98982: okay, can you give me full path of that execute file? And I'll give you full commands :3
[03:26] <liu> 这是什么
[03:26] <Guest98982> /home/mike/Downloads/processing-2.2.1
[03:26] <Guest98982> Is that what you mean?#
[03:27] <Guest98982> Thanks
[03:27] <liu> 新手上路，这是什么阿
[03:27] <somsip> !zh | liu
[03:27] <Stanley00> Guest98982: is processing-2.2.1 the folder or execute file?
[03:28] <dupingping> !zh | liu
[03:28] <liu> 你们不能打中文吗
[03:28] <Guest98982> the folder. the executable file is in that folder, called processing.#
[03:28] <Guest98982> it's called                       processing
[03:28] <bazhang> liu we can, but this is english support
[03:28] <Stanley00> Guest98982: I need to full path to that processing file please.
[03:29] <liu> so
[03:29] <Guest98982> /home/mike/Downloads/processing-2.2.1/processing
[03:29] <bazhang> liu /join #ubuntu-cn
[03:29] <liu> what's this?
[03:29] <bazhang> liu english support for Ubuntu
[03:29] <Stanley00> Guest98982: okay, just a min
[03:30] <gansteed>  is there any way ssh into the guest vm through virsh so I don't need know the IP of the guest vm?
[03:31] <Stanley00> Guest98982: save this in /tmp with name a.desktop http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=MwnpUzeQ
[03:31] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is anyone using vsphere?
[03:32] <samthewildone> Stanley00, going to try that.
[03:32] <gansteed>  Hi all!  Is anyone using KVM?  XD
[03:32] <Stanley00> Guest98982: then run this command in terminal: cp /tmp/a.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/processing.desktop
[03:32] <Stanley00> Guest98982: and you're finish :3
[03:32] <compdoc> gansteed, yup
[03:33] <egroeg> just in case anyone runs into the issue i had earlier.  running aptitude fixed it
[03:33] <Guest98982> where is the /tmp folder?
[03:33] <gansteed> compdoc, :)
[03:34] <Stanley00> Guest98982: just type /tmp/a.desktop and press save button :3
[03:35] <Stanley00> hmm... why don't just type ~/.local/share/applications/processing.desktop and press save? stupid /me :(
[03:35] <Guest98982> I'm being dumb... :)  So, it downloads automatically when I follow your link and is called desktop_file.txt      do I rename that to /tmp/a.desktop
[03:36] <Stanley00> Guest98982: well, just type in ~/.local/share/applications/processing.desktop  and press save, it's better :3
[03:37] <Guest98982> Thanks. It says  bash: /home/mike/.local/share/applications/processing: No such file or directory
[03:37] <Guest98982> when you say 'type in' do you mean into the terminal?
[03:37] <devzdesilva> Good Morning!
[03:38] <bayarja> hello guys
[03:38] <devzdesilva> yes
[03:38] <Stanley00> Guest98982: I mean the path/file name input text in download dialog.
[03:39] <Stanley00> Guest98982: open terminal, type this in and redownload the file please. mkdir -p  ~/.local/share/applications
[03:39] <dsnyders> Nevermind about vsphere.  The free version is only a 60 day trial.
[03:43] <bayarja> pls recommend me that local chat room app

[04:16] <divBy0> hi, so i just installed xchat on utopic 14.10 and now i have an envelope icon in my notification area by the system time. right clicking it gives the option to launch xchat. how can i remove this icon?
[04:17] <Stanley00> divBy0: why? and btw, xchat is old, you should switch to hexchat
[04:18] <divBy0> because i like having as little clutter as possible. for me the icon is clutter as i dont use chat much.
[04:18] <divBy0> ok ill give hexchat a try but i'd still like to know how to remove the icon
[04:18] <divBy0> oh yeah, i read on a kali security training site that they were using xchat so i just assumed it would be more secure. is hexchat more secure?
[04:19] <Ranieri_> Is there a general Linux channel that addresses not just a particular distrubution?
[04:19] <jamesd> Ranieri_: #linux used to exist but you may want to ask in an APP related channel or shell related channel depending on what the issue is.
[04:20] <divBy0> Stanley00: is hexchat more secure than xchat?
[04:20] <Ranieri_> jamesd, it's mostly to get answers to questions from A Practical Guide to Linux: Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming.
[04:20] <jamesd> Ranieri_: just ask and someone will either answer or point you to the correct channel
[04:21] <Ranieri_> jamesd, right sounds good xD
[04:21] <Stanley00> divBy0: xchat is no longer maintain sice 2012 or so... so it's basically not secued anymore :3
[04:22] <divBy0> Stanley00: ok. ill switch over now. will hexchat also put a notification icon? how do i get rid of those?
[04:23] <Stanley00> divBy0: about remove the icon, I don't know acctually, since I'm not using ubuntu now, but let me check, one min
[04:25]  * Charity-UN UNITED NATIONS CHARITY IS SETUP PROPERLY http://xRcrypto.us.to : Our Server is /server irc.xRcrypto.us.to 6667 channel #UN-Dev
[04:25] <Stanley00> divBy0: okay, here's what I found, looks like many people want that icon integrate with ubuntu. You can try remove hexchat-indicator, but I'm not sure if it help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hexchat/+bug/1360785
[04:25] <jamesd> Ranieri_: lets see.. most used shell is bash, if you are hardcore consider ksh, if you are newfangled shell hardcore its ksh93, if you want old school coder shell csh/tcsh, hard core editor is vi/vim noob perhaps nano, if you want old school perhaps joe a wordstar clone if you don't know what wordstar is joe isn't for you. or emacs.  for i in /usr/bin/* ; do man $i ; done will tell everything you need to know about unix/linux core; .
[04:27] <divBy0> Stanley00: ok, thanks for the help :)
[04:28] <Dresk> Hm, I just installed sshd, and I've got no idea how it keeps getting executed (sshd -D); I kill the process and it comes right back.  It's not in init.d, and having just switched to Ubuntu, I don't know of Upstarts file structure (or a proper GUI program to manage it.)  Plus, though I'm not sure, I think some stuff is launching via init.d or systemd or something else
[04:51] <Ranieri_> Why are programs OS-dependent?
[04:53] <RahulAN> Ranieri_, what you mean by that
[04:54] <RahulAN> are you comparing with windows?
[04:54] <Ranieri_> Well, when I go download Minecraft, I have to specify whether it's mac OS x or windows?
[04:55] <jamesd> Ranieri_: different libraries are avabilble, and actually osx is based on freebsd and not linux or windows.
[04:55] <Ranieri_> I know.
[04:55] <Mongo44> In what ways is Ubuntu better than Debian Wheezy (which I run)?
[04:55] <Ranieri_> OS X runs the Mach Kernel, and utilities are from GNU or BSD
[04:56] <jamesd> Ranieri_: you can write programs that are OS agnostic to a point but most aren't... java, javascript, python or choices to do it.
[04:59] <jayan> hai
[05:03] <jasonfungsing> hi all
[05:16] <Mongo44> What happened to the waves of comments this channel used to get?
[05:16] <inerkick> hi
[05:17] <inerkick> my laptop battery isn't showing charging or discharging the power. I use ubuntu 14.04 mat
[05:17] <Mongo44> inerkick you new to Ubuntu?
[05:17] <inerkick> mate
[05:18] <inerkick> yes
[05:18] <inerkick> it was working fine, but now it's not. Mongo44
[05:18] <DalekSec> Mongo44: That's what happens at night, it slows down a little.
[05:19] <Mongo44> What happens when you disconnect the power cord?
[05:19] <inerkick> the symbol of charges not changes Mongo44
[05:20] <inerkick> The symbol of top menu bar which used to shows charging and left over battery charge or disconnected not works anymore Mongo44
[05:22] <Mongo44> Sorry inerkick don't have the answers. Seems to be a minor problem though.
[05:23] <inerkick> hmm ok
[05:23] <adoniscik> after much effort, I managed to remotely view my headless server's desktop using xfce and x2go. Now I can't run anything on it other than the Trash, File System, and Home icons that come with the desktop. Opening a terminal returns "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal. getpt failed: Permission denied." What do I need to do to fix it?
[05:31] <jamesd> adoniscik: did you try  ssh -X  servername or ip
[05:31] <jamesd> then turn xterm .. and the X app of your choice
[05:31] <adoniscik> jamesd, doesn't xterm need to be run inside the desktop?
[05:32] <jamesd> adoniscik: nope.
[05:32] <jamesd> do it all the time.. just need X running on your box you are viewing
[05:32] <adoniscik> so just ssh then xterm? which desktop would that start?
[05:32] <jamesd> for windows check out Xming
[05:33] <jamesd> yes. you need -X to get the graphics auth working
[05:33] <adoniscik> the graphics IS working; I definitely have a connection. x2go uses ssh underneath; I alredy set up ssh-agent
[05:34] <jamesd> you don't need x2go.. just use ssh -X
[05:34] <jamesd> unless you want the full gnome/kde feel.
[05:36] <jamesd> adoniscik: another option is to use vnc server and viewer either to share your existing desktop or vnc server to run its own virutal desktop that can use as well.
[05:41] <adoniscik> I just need it to work, and run a browser. I had no luck with vnc at all. startx failed with "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot find a free VT: Invalid argument". I gather it's related to OpenVZ, which I' m running?
[05:41] <adoniscik> did you use it with proxmox, jamesd ?
[05:41] <jamesd> you can run a brower with ssh -X   no need fo rhte rest
[05:42] <jamesd> nope
[05:42] <adoniscik> how? startx fails
[05:42] <jamesd> i use it all the time with linux and unix boxes...
[05:42] <jamesd> never use startx over ssh
[05:42] <adoniscik> are your boxes virtualized
[05:42] <jamesd> just the program
[05:42] <jamesd> yes, but that doesn't matter.
[05:42] <adoniscik> i'm sory, which program? google-chrome eg?
[05:42] <jamesd> virtualized is just like physical boxes.
[05:43] <jamesd> firefox,  chromium-browser   safari
[05:43] <adoniscik> straight from the command line?
[05:43] <jamesd> i am so old i even did it with mozilla
[05:43] <jamesd> ssh -X servername   ;   then run  xterm or firefox.. doesn't matter if you have a working X on your local box it will work
[05:45] <Mongo44> Anyone explain what a headless server is?
[05:45] <jamesd> Mongo44: a server without a monitor connected, possibly without a video card
[05:46] <Mongo44> What are they used for? Mining Bitcoin?
[05:46] <adoniscik> jamesd, I think I'm getting closer; now it says Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
[05:46] <adoniscik> Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
[05:47] <jamesd> Mongo44: anywhere you don't have access or need to see a video card, datacenter... basement..
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> Mongo44: there is specific ubuntu software to run for bitcoin servers
[05:47] <lotuspsychje> !server > Mongo44
[05:49] <Mongo44> Thanks, anyone ever cracked the code and earned some bitcoin?
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> Mongo44: take this discussion to the #bitcoin channel mate
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> Mongo44: there are many ways to tight security on an ubuntu (bitcoin) server to prevent that
[05:53] <Mongo44> No I was talking about the algorithm. Every 10 minutes I think 20 bitcoin are earned somewhere.
[05:53] <jamesd> adoniscik: on your localbox try   xhost + ; then the ssh -X  servername
[05:53] <adoniscik> xhost + returned "access control disabled, clients can connect from any host"
[05:56] <jamesd> adoniscik: is this your box or managed by someone else? perhaps they enambled no-pty in /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
[05:56] <adoniscik> to be clear, I ran xhost on the local box, with the screen, and it is mine. the remote server isn't
[05:57] <adoniscik> I can edit its sshd_conf, however
[05:57] <adoniscik> or anything else really
[05:57] <jamesd> check your authorized key files as well.. i see it might be specified there as well
[05:59] <adoniscik> jamesd, what are they called?
[06:00] <jamesd>  /etc/ssh/sshd_conf  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys   ~/.ssh/config
[06:00] <jamesd> perhpas  /etc/ssh/ssh_conf file as well
[06:17] <adoniscik> jamesd, xterm worked after chmod 666 /dev/ptmx
[06:17] <jamesd> adoniscik: okay.. firefox or chromium-browser will work as well not that firefox wont start another copy if its running on your main desktop on the remote server
[06:18] <adoniscik> jamesd, however chrome says "failed to move to new namespace" maybe chromium will work?
[06:18] <jamesd> yo will have to pkill it
[06:18] <jamesd> its called chromium-browser on ubuntu
[06:19] <adoniscik> jamesd, I added google's ppa so it's chrome
[06:19] <jamesd> chromium-browser
[06:19] <adoniscik> I'll try installing chromium
[06:20] <adoniscik> same error, jamesd
[06:21] <adoniscik> it worked with --no-sandbox! good lord!
[06:22] <adoniscik> oh man 'tis a happy day
[06:22] <jamesd> yeah the sandbox makes it use a container or something...
[06:23] <adoniscik> bad?
[06:23] <venz> help please, software center stuck on 'applying changes'
[06:23] <jamesd> only if you visit questionable websites...
[06:23] <jamesd> we-will-hack-you.com is probably not a good place to visit without a sandbox
[06:24] <adoniscik> great, this is for work so I wouldn't be tempted to visit them in the first place
[06:24] <adoniscik> I think i'm a happy camper for now. thanks, jamesd
[06:24] <jamesd> no problem
[06:24] <jamesd> have a great night
[06:24] <Amin> Hello excuse me how can i install laravel on ubuntu?
[06:25] <Stanley00> !info laravel
[06:25] <jamesd> use the source luke.. hope it builds correclty
[06:25] <venz> help please, software center stuck on 'applying changes'
[06:25] <Stanley00> venz: just wait then :P
[06:25] <Amin> laravel is a php framework and for working with it it must be installed with a software named composer
[06:26] <Stanley00> !info composer
[06:26] <Amin> i dont know how to install composer and then laravel
[06:26] <Amin> in win i did it but i want to work in ubuntu
[06:27] <Stanley00> Amin: none of them is in software center, it must be hard then :3
[06:28] <Amin> i have the composer's package
[06:28] <Amin> how to install packages ?
[06:28] <Stanley00> Amin: try look at here, but there're some dangerous commands on that site :P http://ulyssesonline.com/2014/07/24/install-laravel-4-2-on-ubuntu-server-14-04-lts/
[06:28] <jamesd> is it a .deb?
[06:29] <Amin> no it is like this composer.phar
[06:29] <Stanley00> Amin: the most dangerous one is this "curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php" use it with care ;)
[06:30] <jzp113> hi how to use ssl_vpn on ubuntu
[06:30] <Amin> what are the dangers?
[06:30] <Stanley00> Amin: basically, download a script from internet and run it as root is dangerous
[06:31] <Amin> oh because of that you mean. OK . thank you every body . <3
[06:31] <jamesd> Amin: depends on the contents of the script it could do  rm -rf /  or  scp/upload all your important data and ssh keys to thier server, making your box owned by them.
[06:31] <shmoon> hey
[06:31] <shmoon> sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/javac 50000
[06:31] <shmoon> what does 50000 mean?
[06:32] <jamesd> depends on that arg1 passed to javac does.
[06:32] <jamesd> man javac perhaps is a good place to start
[06:36] <bumblr> shmoon: in this case the 50000 is the "priority" of the new javac alternative being added
[06:38] <shmoon> bumblr: a higher priority takes precendence by becoming the default yeah?
[06:39] <bumblr> yes, but only if in auto mode
[06:47] <gebruikerah> hi
[07:36] <raju_> hi

[08:13] <hydrajump> hi so I've used `xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --same-as LVDS` to mirror the laptop screen on the external, but for some reason the external monitor VGA-0 is the same size as the laptop screen and not "fullscreen". How can I fix this?

[11:18] <MortezaE> Hi... I switch on my laptop from suspension, and it freezed on login screen :( It's the first time after 8 monts! (14.04 - unity desktop)
[11:18] <Junka> hello. I have installed lubuntu, and when i save a network connection with a password a default keying msg popup to enter a new password. SHouldn't it unlock with my login?
[11:18] <jbouron> The colors of the button are not the same as the background of the window with my theme ? Any idea ?
[11:20]  * MortezaE is calling from tty1 now (IRSSI) and don't want to lost his works...
[11:21] <AlecTaylor> Hi
[11:21] <AlecTaylor> On login (Ubuntu 14.10) after password is entered there's a delay, then it takes me back to login screen. How to troubleshoot?
[11:24] <PCWorker> Hello, I have a 250 gb hdd installed OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I installed it, It was in a Compaq desktop. Can I put it in another desktop with a different motherboard? And if so, Do I need to re-install the OS for it to load the correct drivers?
[11:25] <st_d3vil> no, if you use device-by-uuid
[11:26] <PCWorker> is that a command line thing or is it automatically done for me?
[11:27] <PCWorker> device-by-uuid?
[11:27] <octoid> PCWorker, it should have used UUID by default (you should be fine) - You can always check the /etc/fstab file to see if it is using UUIDs, and if not it will be using /dev/sdX (which you would change to the appropriate device on the new hardware)
[11:28] <PCWorker> ok, got it. thanks
[11:28] <whyubuntu> Hi guys

[11:34] <jbouron> files*
[11:34] <whyubuntu> it's half way though install... if I cancel It might end up dead?
[11:34] <cfhowlett> whyubuntu, how fast is your ISP
[11:35] <octoid> Is SSD TRIM done by some mechanism other than the discard option in /etc/fstab?
[11:35] <cfhowlett> and does your ISP throttle.  ubuntu .iso is over 1 gig
[11:35] <whyubuntu> cfhowlett: sudo init0 cmd nt found?
[11:35] <whyubuntu> cfhowlett: 8 mbps
[11:35] <whyubuntu> its' downloaded
[11:35] <cfhowlett> whyubuntu, does your ISP throttle???
[11:36] <whyubuntu> stuck in intallation!
[11:36] <whyubuntu> it was unpacking smth last i remb..

[11:45] <Kamilion> tomodachi: sorry, what?
[11:45] <tomodachi> i autocompleted wrong nick :)
[11:45] <Kamilion> ah, n/p
[11:52] <whyubuntu> help someone
[11:52] <whyubuntu> what is the best way to cancel upgrade 14.04 during on going install
[11:52] <whyubuntu> not best* safest way
[11:53] <jbouron> do you have bacjups ?
[11:53] <jbouron> backups*
[11:53] <whyubuntu> yea yea
[11:53] <jbouron> then ...
[11:53] <whyubuntu> dont want to install stuff all over again..
[11:53] <jbouron> and nothing on forums ?
[11:53] <whyubuntu> nope
[11:53] <jbouron> sorry mate
[11:53] <whyubuntu> most suggest to wait in case of grey window
[11:53] <whyubuntu> waited for 6 hours
[11:54] <whyubuntu> donno how much longer to wait :D
[11:54] <whyubuntu> :(
[11:54] <jbouron> do you need it today ?
[11:54] <whyubuntu> yea..
[11:54] <whyubuntu> never shld have upgraded.
[11:55] <jbouron> It never append to me ...
[11:56] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:57] <Kamilion> whyubuntu: it should still be mostly usable during the upgrade process, just degraded performance. Old binaries will keep running until they're restarted, and while the directory entries for the old files are gone, the open file descriptors to the inodes carrying their content are still there until the FD closes.
[11:58] <octoid> whyubuntu, if your desperate you could attempt to upgrade the old fashioned way, reboot, boot rescue mode, mount file systems r/w, enable net connection (e.g. dhclient), check /etc/apt/sources.list is now pointing at 'trusty', sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:58] <octoid> whyubuntu, again - Only if you are desperate :)
[11:59] <Kamilion> interrupting apt is done at your own peril
[12:00] <Kamilion> at the end of the upgrade process a list of packages will no longer be required, and will likely not be removed without manual intervention if you abort the upgrade.
[12:00] <Kamilion> er
[12:00]  * Kamilion rubs eyes
[12:00] <Kamilion> I worded that poorly
[12:00] <skinkitten> Ubuntu is asking for my password on startup - it never does that & I didn't configure it that way. & 2. the password isn't being accepted. help.
[12:01] <Kamilion> skinkitten: boot into single user from grub or boot from a live iso?
[12:02] <Kamilion> skinkitten: lightdm sometimes does that to me every once in a while with autologin turned on.
[12:02] <Kamilion> too tired, must sleep now.
[12:04] <skinkitten> Kamilion, :(
[12:04] <skinkitten> typing in my password just restarts the password screen
[12:04] <skinkitten> typing in a wrong password - shows that the password is wrong
[12:05] <gilles_> hji
[12:05] <Kamilion> skinkitten: switch VTs to a terminal and log in there?
[12:05] <skinkitten> Kamilion, is that guess session? VTs?
[12:05] <skinkitten> guest*
[12:05] <mjayk> skinkitten: press ctrl  + alt + f1
[12:05] <mjayk> then logon there
[12:05] <mjayk> if you can
[12:07] <PCatinean> Where can I ask questions about how to handle po files?
[12:07] <ikonia> what do you mean how to handle them ?
[12:07] <skinkitten> thanks mjayk - what now?
[12:08] <PCatinean> I mean I have two distinct translation files (po files) and I want to get the translations from one file to another only where the source terms match
[12:09] <Kamilion> skinkitten: you'll have to use the terminal to inspect the configuration for the display manager. for me, it's /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[12:09] <PCatinean> I'm using poedit
[12:10] <PCatinean> just wanted to ask what is the right chan to ask in
[12:10] <skinkitten> Kamilion, [SeatDefaults]
[12:11] <Kamilion> mine has an autologin-user=kamilion line
[12:12] <skinkitten> mine's got it
[12:12] <ikonia> PCatinean: if it's on ubuntu you can ask, but you may be better trying to find a poedit specific resource/channel as thats quite a specific app
[12:12] <crazyhorse18> hey i've written a program which is fairly IO intensive, is there a way of seeing which current files the process has open?
[12:12] <PCatinean> ikonia, ubuntu mostly, i've seen there are some command line tools that I've used a bit in the past that could work
[12:13] <PCatinean> seems poedit chan is empty
[12:13] <Kamilion> skinkitten: yeah, then you're probably getting the same glitch I see occasionally. Try rebooting, maybe it'll start working?
[12:13] <skinkitten> crazyhorse18, debug statements? Print statements when a file is opened for process?
[12:13] <crazyhorse18> yeah i've done that, didn't help
[12:13] <Kamilion> crazyhorse18: lsof?
[12:14] <skinkitten> Kamilion, did reboot-nothing changed
[12:14] <Kamilion> skinkitten: Ah, that sucks. I'm at a loss at this point, fuzzy of mind, unsure where to proceed to look next.
[12:14] <k1l_> PCatinean: their website suggests to use their mailinglists or personal mail
[12:14] <skinkitten> Kamilion, :(
[12:15] <Kamilion> the logs in /var/log/ would probably be the next stop
[12:16] <Kamilion> followed by searching stack overflow
[12:16] <crazyhorse18> Kamilion, ah yeah it's got 900 files open.. i think i'll change it to do 1 at a time
[12:16] <Kamilion> crazyhorse18: make sure you're invoking lsof correctly, lol
[12:16] <Kamilion> it's got a lot of options
[12:17] <k1l_> skinkitten: when on startup it asks for the password?
[12:17] <skinkitten> k1l_, thats correct
[12:17] <crazyhorse18> so basically i wrote a program that sticks my entire hdd in an sql database
[12:17] <k1l_> skinkitten: when?
[12:17] <crazyhorse18> it's so powerful i don't know why every OS doesn't have this built in
[12:17] <skinkitten> k1l_, after the ubuntu loading screen is done loading - the one wit the dots
[12:18] <Kamilion> microsoft tried to for windows 8, google "ReFS" to see how much it multiplies the complexity of storage.
[12:19] <k1l_> skinkitten: was it from the beginning  since install?
[12:19] <Kamilion> crazyhorse18: if you wanna see something REALLY cool, go look at ceph. They actually use math to figure out where a block should go, instead of looking it up in a table. It's really neat.
[12:19] <crazyhorse18> yeah but i mean you don't even have to have it live.. you could have a table that ubdates the database later
[12:20] <crazyhorse18> like spotlight on osx.. except it would be much better if it was just an accessible postgresql database
[12:21] <crazyhorse18> because then you can do some really poweful queries.. i.e. show me all the photos that were taken between this date and that date and sum them by month
[12:21] <ikonia> how is this anything to do with ubuntu ?
[12:21] <crazyhorse18> or give me a list of duplicate folders
[12:22] <crazyhorse18> ikonia, my original questions was to do with opening files because i'm writing an application to create this database on ubuntu
[12:22] <skinkitten> k1l_, today is the first day it asks to login on startup
[12:23] <ikonia> crazyhorse18: ok, cool, so getting the answer to that, rather than rdbms design would be appreciated please
[12:23] <k1l_> skinkitten: do you had autologin enabled?
[12:26] <k1l_> skinkitten: what did you change before that happend? do you have encryption on your system? did you change something with your wifi?
[12:28] <skinkitten> k1l_, I removed anaconda...I updated to the latest curl 7.40....
[12:29] <skinkitten> this blows
[12:30] <k1l_> skinkitten: i asked a lot more questions
[12:31] <skinkitten> k1l_, I don't have encryption setup. nothing's been done differently to the wifi. Autologin is enabled via the line in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[12:31] <skinkitten> k1l_, anymore?
[12:32] <bazhang> how did you remove anaconda skinkitten
[12:33] <skinkitten> bazhang, sudo rm -rf /home/me/anaconda/
[12:34] <k1l_> is anaconda the fedora installer?
[12:34] <bazhang> yes
[12:34] <skinkitten> its this /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[12:34] <skinkitten> http://continuum.io/downloads
[12:34] <ikonia> so not ubuntu
[12:35] <ikonia> but a chromebook

[12:43] <ali_> i want to use my samsung mobile as modem but ubuntu cannot detect configuration setting for mobile via bluetooth
[12:43] <k1l_> skinkitten: so you that changed the python stack used by ubuntu,too?
[12:43] <charlyDog90> I have problem with gpu driver
[12:43] <charlyDog90> I installed ubuntu studio
[12:43] <hehe>  /dev/cdrom /dev/sr0
[12:43] <skinkitten> k1l_, could be.
[12:43] <hehe> juddus:
[12:44] <k1l_> skinkitten: i first thought it was a password request for the wifi. make sure in the wifi settings the checkbox for "every user can use this wifi" is checked
[12:44] <Mike__B> I use Xubuntu but for some reason I now boot into the gnome-desktop. How can I make sure I use XFCE again?
[12:44] <charlyDog90> i'm a new user of linux
[12:44] <k1l_> skinkitten: but since that changes the python stack and a lot of ubuntu runs on python that might be another issue there.
[12:44] <ArtooDetoo> charlyDog90: please describe the problem
[12:45] <charlyDog90> the problem is the resolution
[12:45] <skinkitten> charlyDog90, lol
[12:45] <hehe> well what Can I do?
[12:46] <skinkitten> k1l_, should I start installing/upgrading/updating python packages?
[12:46] <hehe> any one?
[12:46] <skinkitten> k1l_, I just checked the wifi - its on.
[12:46] <juddus> hehe: wait a sec

[12:49] <Ben64> charlyDog90: you have to give more details. "i can't go other 640x480" does not make much sense
[12:49] <cfhowlett> !ask | charlyDog90
[12:49] <skinkitten> k1l_, I can log-in as a guest just fine
[12:49] <juddus> charlyDog90: What was it again, your gpu driver isn't working?

[12:57] <hehe> yes but Ctrc C wont work
[12:57] <hehe> when I select text
[12:57] <Ben64> ctrl+shift+c
[12:57] <charlyDog90> juddus: I have an Intel grafic but i don't remember the version. How i can see it?
[12:57] <skinkitten> k1l_, yes.
[12:57] <hehe> Ben64:  tried it Ctrl V wont work
[12:57] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, did you install the intel linux graphics drivers?
[12:57] <Ben64> hehe: then right click -> copy
[12:58] <CC__11001100> .
[12:58] <juddus> if you right click copy, just use pastebin.com hehe
[12:58] <hehe> Ben64: that removes hight light and does nothing
[12:58] <Ben64> hehe: what terminal emulator are you using??
[12:58] <charlyDog90> cfhowlett_: No....i'm a new user of linux. I must to learn....how i do it?
[12:59] <juddus> charlyDog90: If you have intel graphic graphics, i don't see why you're having a problem
[12:59] <hehe> QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
[12:59] <hehe> here
[12:59] <hehe> used diff ter,
[12:59] <Ben64> hehe: anyway, if the drive shows up in k3b but says no medium, try a different disc
[12:59] <hehe> Ben64: I have tried 5 of them
[12:59] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, find your version, download the package, follow the directions here:  https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[12:59] <hehe> DVD RW
[12:59] <hehe> and DVD R
[12:59] <Ben64> hehe: try one that has information already on it
[12:59] <skinkitten> k1l_, I'm able to see this because I logged in my account by the ctrl + alt + f1 menu
[12:59] <maliboy> who uses DVD anymore
[12:59] <charlyDog90> juddus: my screen resolution is locked at 640x480 and i can not change it
[13:00] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, link to graphics drivers sent.  don't read [13:00] <hehe> Ben64:  same disks also show no media
[13:00] <hehe> something with  that usd drive working  with ubuntu
[13:01] <Ben64> hehe: then either your drive does not function, or it just does not function in the ubuntu version you have
[13:01] <hehe> Ben64: 14.04.1 64 bit
[13:01] <hehe> Ben64: also if I want to create bootable dvd I simply select burn iso?
[13:01] <Ben64> you can't if the drive isn't working
[13:02] <maliboy> how to turn off the touchscreen feature of a laptop in ubuntu ?
[13:02] <serge> hello from Russia!
[13:02] <hehe> i got more drives
[13:02] <Ben64> hehe: if the iso you burn is bootable, then it would work
[13:02] <charlyDog90> cfhowlett_: Thank you. Then, now i go to the link and dowload the Intel Grafic installer for linux. Right?
[13:02] <aaron83> quick question im new to linux and on ubuntu studio 14.10 how do i install my nvidia gtx 750 drivers i need cuda for blender

[13:03] <charlyDog90> Cfhowlett_: what is the Intel Graphics Stack ?
[13:03] <juddus> aaron83: you downloaded the linux version of the driver from the nvidia website?
[13:04] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, nope.  wrong.  what is your ubuntu version
[13:04] <Ben64> juddus: don't suggest that :(     aaron83: please don't get the version from nvidia
[13:04] <charlyDog90> cfhowlett_: i installed ubuntu studio
[13:04] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, open a terminal
[13:05] <charlyDog90> cfhowlett_: than
[13:05] <cfhowlett_> charlyDog90, type this command and press <return>   sudo apt-get install pastebinit

[13:16] <Parity> "fdisk -l" returns nothing on my vps. how can this be?
[13:18] <k1l_> Parity: depends on the vps technic used.
[13:20] <juddus> Parity: maybe /proc/partitions doesn't exist..
[13:20] <arshia> Can anyone tell me why i cannot download some applications from the software center successfully ????
[13:22] <juddus> Parity: try udisks --show-info /dev/sda1

[13:22] <pluesch0r> freeradius start/killed, process 2780
[13:22] <pluesch0r> hi everybody. running ubuntu 14.04 and stuck with a process in start/killed state. how do i clean this up?
[13:22] <pluesch0r> gah. sorry for the spam.
[13:23] <pluesch0r> i found the workaroung_upstart_snafu script, but that seems to only work for stop/killed state. this is horrible.
[13:23] <strkll> is it up to date?
[13:24] <pluesch0r> strkll: are you talking to me?
[13:26] <juddus> pluesch0r: service freeradius force-reload
[13:26] <cfhowlett_> arshia, well, we can guess --- or you can provide error messages!
[13:26] <juddus> ^^
[13:26] <pluesch0r> juddus: freeradius start/killed, process 2780
[13:26] <pluesch0r> oh man. i hate my buffer.

[13:27] <pluesch0r> juddus: and it seems that there's no way out of this misery than to reboot the whole box.
[13:27] <arshia> cfhowlett_: There is no error, it says that the Internet connection is not available(witch is not true)
[13:28] <cfhowlett_> arshia, sudo apt-get install AppName
[13:28] <cfhowlett_> arshia, test with the above
[13:30] <skinkitten> k1l_, can I install a fresh ubuntu & keep all my files?
[13:32] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, "all your files" meaning ... what exactly?
[13:33] <teward> skinkitten: if you mean all the files in your home directory, you need to back them up to make sure they don't get lost during a reinstall
[13:34] <skinkitten> teward, how do I back them up via the kernel?
[13:34] <Parity> via the kernel?
[13:34] <teward> skinkitten: via the kernel???  What do you mean?
[13:34] <teward> skinkitten: do you mean command line?
[13:34] <skinkitten> Parity, I have access to my files only through the kernel. crtl alt f1
[13:35] <Parity> thats not "the kernel"
[13:35] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, pretty sure that would be "via the terminal" ...
[13:35] <teward> skinkitten: that's the terminal, not the kernel.
[13:35] <skinkitten> sorry. the terminal
[13:36] <cfhowlett_> !backup | skinkitten
[13:39] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, I'd like to move files into a usb. How can I find the usb directory?
[13:39] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, dd for block copy and cp for file copy
[13:40] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, mount will display your usb
[13:43] <maliboy> cfhowlett_, Can you help me to disable touchscreen of my laptop ?
[13:43] <cfhowlett_> maliboy, no
[13:43] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, mounting failed
[13:43] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, not mounting.  MOUNT   will display all mounted devices
[13:46] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, none of what showed up is immediately obvious a usb
[13:46] <Moonlightning> On booting, my laptop shows a solid purple screen for about 40 seconds between the GRUB menu and the kernel log. I can also use the GRUB shell on the Ubuntu liveusb to boot from the installed copy, and the wait is much shorter if I do that (on the order of 5 seconds). What gives?
[13:48] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, variation: mount | grep /dev
[13:48] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, mount | grep /dev              will display mounted /DEVices
[13:49] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, also your USB should appear under /media/
[13:54] <skinkitten> thanks cfhowlett_ but nothing is showing in /media/
[13:54] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, then your usb is not mounted
[13:56] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, inserting the usb, returns [sdb] no caching mode page found - several times & doesn't complete until I press enter
[13:58] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, try a different USB - also what your USB should be fat32 format

[14:10] <Swft> I'd like to install g++ manually to compile something, but the problem is that I don't have root access! would it be possible to create a g++ binary and use it?
[14:10] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, could I set up the guest user to have access to root users files?
[14:11] <skinkitten> the usbs are showing up in guest login, they're fat32,
[14:11] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, !  with considerable effort but OMG why?
[14:11] <jatt> you can compile g++ manually but it will be a pain in the neck
[14:12] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, would it be easier to make a user that has the access?
[14:13] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, easier than the guest account for sure.
[14:13] <skinkitten> cfhowlett_, alright sweet. how is it done?
[14:14] <cfhowlett_> skinkitten, new user, set permissions

[14:15] <crazyhorse18> when writing a cronjob how do you stop a failure from running the next job
[14:16] <mcphail> makaveli0129: do you use virtualisation?
[14:16] <crazyhorse18> e.g. * * * * * killall -9 node && cd /home/gs/Desktop/demess2 && node sha1update.js >> /home/gs/Desktop/demess2/output.txt
[14:16] <makaveli0129> like virtualbox?
[14:16] <crazyhorse18> if node does not exist it says no process found.. then quits
[14:17] <mcphail> makaveli0129: not sure is virtualbox can use iommu, but that kind of thing...
[14:17] <makaveli0129> mcphail: no this is a pure install on the hard drive. Although i do use vbox for other things like windows but this shows up regardless if i start vbox or not
[14:19] <mcphail> makaveli0129: you could try passing the "iommu=soft" or "iommu=pt" kernel parameter
[14:20] <crazyhorse18> i aslo tried this killall -9 node 2> /dev/null & cd /home/gs/Desktop/demess2 & node sha1update.js >> /home/gs/Desktop/demess2/output.txt &
[14:20] <crazyhorse18> but the process still doesn't run
[14:20] <makaveli0129> mcphail: using lspci it shows that this is the sata controller 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) 4 port SATA IDE Controller #1
[14:21] <love-big-dicks> fuck ubuntu
[14:21] <love-big-dicks> linux sucks
[14:22] <love-big-dicks> fuck ubuntu
[14:22] <love-big-dicks> linux sucks
[14:23] <mcphail> makaveli0129: you need a fairly specific collection of hardware for iommu to work properly, so errors are common
[14:23] <makaveli0129> mcphail: ok let me google i'm curious what those parameters do
[14:33] <redab> Is there any fix for the flixering windows bug in ubuntu? I have a nvidia card if that helps.
[14:55] <dotaphex> Hi
[14:58] <CodingFree> sup guys, would you know if there is any way to install a bootable Ubuntu in an external drive using Windows?
[14:59] <cfhowlett_> CodingFree, no
[15:00] <CodingFree> and without using Windows=
[15:00] <CodingFree> ?
[15:00] <novasdream> I have a issue with apt-get  "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)"
[15:01] <Luyin> CodingFree: UNetBootIn
[15:01] <Luyin> CodingFree: runs from Windows afair
[15:01] <CodingFree> yes, but I think that it install it without any persistence
[15:01] <novasdream> How recovery a windows partition gtable ?
[15:04] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, english speak you must?
[15:04] <Luyin> CodingFree: what do you mean by persistence? the OS you install on the external drive (i. e. flash drive or DVD) is stored on this medium permanently
[15:04] <novasdream> cfhowlett_,  sorry im not native english speaker.
[15:05] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, no problem.  what language?
[15:05] <somsip> cfhowlett_: not jedi, clearly ;)
[15:06] <novasdream> I cfhowlett_  I have some issues with my old windows HD.. I replace my GPT tables
[15:06] <novasdream> how i can try recovery my files ?
[15:06] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, from your backups
[15:07] <novasdream> cfhowlett_, backups cant recovery my GPT tables
[15:07] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, repartition with gdisk
[15:09] <novasdream> cfhowlett_, windows use MBR or GPT ?
[15:09] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, windows number ???
[15:09] <novasdream> 7
[15:09] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, mbr no gpt
[15:10] <novasdream> GPT is something like a usb stick ?
[15:10] <CodingFree> Luyin: but I mean any change (for example, installing any application)
[15:10] <novasdream> ( I a usb stick using dd and replace my /dev/sdb
[15:10] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, ? no usb should be fat32/msdos
[15:10] <novasdream> cfhowlett_, I copy some data from a image from centos7 .. but to wrong device and broke my window
[15:11] <cfhowlett_> novasdream, ##windows for windows help
[15:11] <Luyin> CodingFree: if you want persistence, you have to a) use a large enough drive you can write to or b) install the system on hard drive.
[15:12] <CodingFree> Luyin: but afaik, If I "burn" the image using unetbootin in my 1TB hard disk, If I do changes in the system, they are not permanent since it would be some kind of "live usb", am I wrong?
[15:12] <Luyin> CodingFree: Unetbootin lets you choose to allocate some filespace on the external drive you can use to write stuff to, e. g. installing apps, saving personal files etc.
[15:13] <CodingFree> but that is limited to... 8 GB or so, is it?
[15:13] <Luyin> CodingFree: I think so, but then still I'd wonder why you'd want to burn a small system like Ubuntu to such a huge data store. use a flash drive
[15:14] <Luyin> CodingFree: still you could partition your TB drive and use only say 10 GB for Ubuntu + personal files and the rest for whatever purpose you wish
[15:14] <CodingFree> hmmm
[15:14] <somsip> !persistent | CodingFree
[15:14] <zapafil> hello everyone, is there a plugin that can be used instead of flash?
[15:14] <Luyin> thanks somsip I was hoping for some link ;)
[15:15] <somsip> CodingFree: so you'd be following the approach in the LiveUsbPenDrive link, but using an external HD not a USB stick
[15:15] <somsip> !ingo gnash | zapafil
[15:15] <somsip> !ingo browser-plugin-gnash | zapafil
[15:15] <somsip> !info gnash | zapafil
[15:16] <zapafil> somsip, I have gnash already installed, and I can watch i.e. youtube videos. but I cannot watch videos on other channels
[15:16] <dreamcat6> is there an irc channel for ubuntu core ?
[15:16] <zapafil> and I am getting an error with my cms
[15:16] <cfhowlett_> /msg ubottu core
[15:16] <zapafil> which apparently requires a 'missing plugin'
[15:16] <somsip> zapafil: so you're after...? Another flash alt that plays your other channels?
[15:17] <cfhowlett_> /msg ubottu !core
[15:18] <somsip> dreamcat6: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core "Anyone who wants to get involved with Ubuntu Core should join #ubuntu-devel on irc.freenode.net first. Giving support to other people vary from one-line answers to solving problems including bugs"
[15:18] <zapafil> somsip, the current problem is that my browser reports a missing plugin in place of an image upload bar. I dont know this has to do with flash. but usually the missing plugin problem relates to flash. this is the first problem I'd like to solve now
[15:18] <zapafil> aside from that, yes, some videos are not shown, either
[15:18] <somsip> zapafil: usually flash, possibly embedded java
[15:19] <somsip> zapafil: and the browser is...?
[15:19] <john_doe_jr> Once you make an entry in fstab..how do you have it automatically mount?
[15:19] <zapafil> somsip, how can I make this upload bar appear? is there a way to detect?
[15:20] <somsip> john_doe_jr: mount {drive or mountpoint}
[15:20] <mejo> hi, can somebody with a recent ubuntu installation, encrypted root fs and upstart as init system do me a favour: please post the output of '/sbin/status cryptdisks-udev DEVNAME="<ROOTFS>"'.
[15:20] <zapafil> somsip, I tried with firefox, chromium and epiphany. the last one showed 'missing plugin'. while chromium and ff simply showed a blank bar
[15:21] <mejo> I'm trying to fix a bug in cryptsetup but I don't have a ubuntu+upstart system at hand right now :-/
[15:21] <somsip> zapafil: is there a reason you dont want to use flash plugin?
[15:21] <zapafil> somsip, yes, the same as everyone else who doesnt want to use it
[15:22] <somsip> zapafil: I lose patience at the end of the day with too much coffee. Be straight with answers or find someone else to help you
[15:22] <zapafil> if the current problem doesnt have to do with flash, I dont want to start using it
[15:22] <cfhowlett_> good advice for any time of day
[15:22] <Domenico> hello
[15:22] <zapafil> is there a way I can detect the cause of this
[15:23] <somsip> cfhowlett_: sometimes I'm too busy to help, but it's so frustrating to try and have to dance around to get information that's relevant. Anyway, someone else with a better underdtanding of flash is better helping him.
[15:23] <Domenico> I have installed Steam, but does not start
[15:23] <cfhowlett_> :0
[15:23] <cfhowlett_> Domenico, start from terminal and get the error messages
[15:24] <zapafil> yes, can that someone else be out there to help 'him' ?
[15:24] <zapafil> and not necessarily with flash, if this isnt the root cause
[15:25] <Domenico> I use Ubuntu 14.04. I have installed Steam, but does not start
[15:26] <mbeierl1> zapafil: install flash.  If the problem goes away, then it is flash.  If it doesn't, then you can remove flash again.
[15:27] <cfhowlett_> Domenico, open a terminal.  type "steam"   no quotes. press <enter>.    report the error messages
[15:27] <Domenico> ok
[15:28] <reginaldo> alguem saberia como fazer para o Ubuntu 14.10 conseguir instalar o driver do monitor ou da placa de video para usar a resolução correta?

[15:30] <Domenico> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9820790/
[15:30] <zapafil> mbeierl1, there was this other flash alternative that one could install on chromium, I forgot what it was. you maybe know it?
[15:31] <cfhowlett_> Domenico, great.  now: go to steam forums or irc and report that to them
[15:32] <mbeierl1> zapafil: sorry, I don't know much about chromium.  gnash or something like that was the open flash player.
[15:34] <Guest81083> would it be possible to make a unity web app for the whatsapp web interface?
[15:34] <zapafil> mbeierl1, ok, thank you for your hint.
[15:37] <ghoti> I've got a directory with a bunch of subdirectories in it.  Some of them have Makefiles, and I want a list of those directories.  I know I can `find /path -type d -exec test -f {}/Makefile \; -print`, but is there a way to generate this list without creating a boatload of subshells, and without parsing ls?
[15:38] <zapafil> has someone asked me why I didnt want flash? let me tell you what happened when I installed java: on the same second I got the invitation of a porn site appear as new tab.
[15:39] <zapafil> too much coffee is not good anyway.
[15:39] <ArtooDetoo> ghoti: you could use find to search for the makefiles and just remove the "/Makefile" at the end
[15:41] <mbeierl1> zapafil, just as an aside.  I have been using flash and java for many years and have not had that experience.
[15:41] <ghoti> ArtooDetoo: Hmm, perhaps, though I'd be worried about parsing directories that have funny characters in them.  The old "parsing ls" problem.
[15:41] <zapafil> mbeierl1, I havent used either, and never had such a thing until now, too.
[15:42] <zapafil> I clicked on my pages, but porn tabs popped up
[15:42] <ghoti> Perhaps...  for f in */Makefile; do d=${f%%/Makefile}; done ... then I can do things with $d within the loop.
[15:42] <hydrajump> I need some help to determine if my SSD has failed. I can boot into the OS but some things are behaving oddly so after some troubleshooting I came across a lot of EXT4-fs ERROR messages https://gist.github.com/anonymous/24d8cf226c457fa788c3
[15:42] <hydrajump> I ran `smartctl` and got this output https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0bab67cdbc5e6dffb346
[15:43] <hydrajump> Eventhough it says tests have PASSED, has the SSD failed?
[15:43] <compdoc> hydrajump, always check the SMART info
[15:43] <soulisson> Hi, is rsyslog used to log messages of the local system?
[15:44] <hydrajump> compdoc: please see my gist with the smartctl output.
[15:45] <compdoc> gist?
[15:45] <NoImNotNineVolt> so is it just me, or is it very difficult to get a vnc server running under 14.10?
[15:46] <compdoc> NoImNotNineVolt, I think since 14.04, and maybe the previous release, its a problem
[15:46] <hydrajump> compdoc: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/0bab67cdbc5e6dffb346
[15:46] <NoImNotNineVolt> are there any workarounds?
[15:47] <NoImNotNineVolt> because i spent the better part of yesterday getting x11vnc to do something and haven't seen a dollop of success yet :\
[15:47] <compdoc> hydrajump, Reallocated_Sector_Ct is 0, and everything else looks ok. might not be the drive
[15:47] <hydrajump> compdoc: ok thank you for looking!
[15:48] <compdoc> NoImNotNineVolt, vnc needs a 2d desktop, and thats no longer available with unity. I use ubuntu server with a minimal Mate desktop now
[15:48]  * NoImNotNineVolt sighs
[15:48] <compdoc> NoImNotNineVolt, although I think Vino still works
[15:48] <NoImNotNineVolt> is this something that was considered when we embarked on the blind march towards unity? :P
[15:48] <compdoc> but thats only for a console connection. (have to be logged in)
[15:49] <NoImNotNineVolt> i have no idea what vino is.
[15:49] <mbeierl1> NoImNotNineVolt: I have used NoMachine with 3d acceleration successfully before. https://www.nomachine.com/
[15:49]  * NoImNotNineVolt googles
[15:49] <compdoc> its the ubuntu version of remote dektop sharing
[15:49] <NoImNotNineVolt> ...
[15:49] <NoImNotNineVolt> i need something standards-compliant.
[15:50] <NoImNotNineVolt> specifically, i want to connect to my 14.10 workstation from a windows host without using some third party service.
[15:50] <meisth0th> hello
[15:50] <compdoc> ubuntu server + mate desktop + xrdp = pretty nice
[15:50] <NoImNotNineVolt> i really can't believe that something like this has been broken for so long. is this issue marked critical at least?
[15:50] <NoImNotNineVolt> or is it a wontfix? :P
[15:50] <compdoc> cant say
[15:50] <meisth0th> i've just installed 14.10 and got pycharm from its official site, fonts are ugly as hell, is there fix other than infinality for this (i don't like infinality)?
[15:51] <NoImNotNineVolt> meisth0th: my pycharm looks fine under a fresh 14.10
[15:51] <NoImNotNineVolt> meisth0th: can't you change the fonts?
[15:51] <meisth0th> NoImNotNineVolt, can you share a screenshot?
[15:51] <hydrajump> compdoc: what can the reason be for the EXT4-fs ERROR messages?
[15:51] <hydrajump> if the SSD is ok?
[15:51] <meisth0th> NoImNotNineVolt, my problem is about rendering, not the font itself, i guess.
[15:52] <NoImNotNineVolt> meisth0th: unfortunately not :(
[15:52] <NoImNotNineVolt> but i did notice some "themes" or whatever they called them did look rather ridiculous.
[15:52] <NoImNotNineVolt> i think i just went with darcula or whatever they call it.
[15:52] <NoImNotNineVolt> looks no worse than eclipse :P
[15:52] <meisth0th> i am using darcula as well,
[15:53] <meisth0th> NoImNotNineVolt, have you ever run pycharm on another OS? windows or Mac OS?
[15:53] <ePax> I have one server with LVM and RAID1 ... Now one of the disks have failed.How can i see there grub is installed in order to be able to change failed disk?
[15:53] <NoImNotNineVolt> meisth0th: nope.
[15:54] <john_doe_jr> I'm trying to mount a file system but I'm getting the following error after entering in a fstab entry…"wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on"…any ideas?
[15:54] <compdoc> hydrajump, maybe you lost power and somethign was corrupted. According to SMART the SSD is ok, but maybe something else is wrong, like motherboard, power supply, cables, or bad ram. Ive never seen that error in many ubuntu systems Ive installed with ext4. has it happened before?
[15:54] <hydrajump> compdoc: no I don't recall seeing this error either
[15:55] <hydrajump> I've checked the RAM with HP's memory diagnostics and it didn't find any fault
[15:56] <compdoc> memtest86+ and running the test over-night is how I test ram
[15:57] <A_J_> The installation or removal of software package failed.. what does this mean ?
[15:57] <hydrajump> ok I can do that
[15:57] <compdoc> is it an old motrherboard?
[15:57] <hydrajump> compdoc: it's weird that it says `sda2` EXT4-fs (sda2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
[15:57] <hydrajump> when I run fdisk -l I just have `sda1
[15:57] <hydrajump> single partition
[15:57] <hydrajump> compdoc: the laptop is ~2 yrs old
[15:57] <compdoc> maybe its the swap partition?
[15:58] <A_J_> i'm doing an ubuntu uodate
[15:58] <A_J_> it won't let me delete files too
[15:58] <compdoc> hydrajump, make sure AHCI is enabled in the bios
[15:59] <hydrajump> compdoc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/563668/how-to-fix-ext4-fs-sda1-re-mounted-opts-errors-remount-ro
[15:59] <hydrajump> regarding that EXT4-fs message in syslog seems to not be of concern
[15:59] <compdoc> when a fs is remounted read-only, it means there was a problem
[16:00] <compdoc> I wouldnt ignore it
[16:00] <compdoc> hydrajump, does that error show for each boot? maybe its normal
[16:01]  * A_J_ prods compdoc 
[16:01] <hydrajump> compdoc: rebooting now again to see
[16:05] <LordDragon> hey all
[16:05] <auronandace> straw evyone
[16:05] <LordDragon> this is probably a stupid question. but is it possible to boot an install of ubuntu on one of my hdds inside a VM running in windows?
[16:06] <compdoc> I think you can
[16:06] <LordDragon> oh yeah?
[16:06] <hydrajump> compdoc: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/18a8352c394622dec1b8 last 3 reboots
[16:06] <somsip> LordDragon: http://www.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/using-a-physical-hard-drive-with-a-virtualbox-vm.html
[16:06] <compdoc> might depend on the hyperviser's abilities
[16:07] <ale__> اغاني افغاني
[16:07] <somsip> !farsi | ale__
[16:07] <NoImNotNineVolt> whoa
[16:07] <NoImNotNineVolt> did that just happen?
[16:08] <compdoc> hydrajump, looks like it was mounted read-only in order to run the file system check
[16:08] <NoImNotNineVolt> somsip: you can differentiate between farsi and arabic scripts?
[16:08] <LordDragon> somsip: thanks im gonna try it :)
[16:08] <somsip> NoImNotNineVolt: no. I believe the !farsi factoid is the one to use. Might be wrong, but haven't had a complaint yet
[16:09] <somsip> LordDragon: just a link I found - no guarantees
[16:09] <compdoc> hydrajump, might not be anything wrong, but you can also boot the live cd/dvd and run fsck manually on the drive
[16:09] <hydrajump> compdoc: ok boot livecd and in a terminal session just fsck /dev/sda ?
[16:10] <compdoc> yeah, but Im no expert with fsck. might want to google examples
[16:10] <hydrajump> ok I'll be back with results
[16:10] <hydrajump> thanks for now
[16:19] <hydrajump> booted form live cd and ran `fsck /dev/sda1` output is just `6 files 857/130812 clusters`
[16:19] <hydrajump> takes like a second to run
[16:19] <hydrajump> shouldn't it take longer
[16:19] <LordDragon> somsip: ok. all setup. here goes! *fingers crossed*
[16:20] <LordDragon> lol nope

[16:26] <torvil_> Hi can anyone assist me with Ubuntu software download please?
[16:27] <torvil_> HELLLPPPP
[16:28] <somsip> !ask | torvil_
[16:28] <SchrodingersScat> aw, i was just going to..; torvil_ what's your specific problem?
[16:28] <A_J_> somsip, what do you advise if i cannot update ubuntu
[16:29] <somsip> A_J_: I'd suggest asking your question in the open channel and not picking people randomly for advice
[16:29] <torvil_> I'm trying to download the 32bit file from the website so I can create a startup usb to try Linux for my first time. The file will not download
[16:29] <torvil_> It ge
[16:30] <A_J_> somsip, okay
[16:30] <somsip> A_J_: and give details, error messages, use !paste if needed
[16:30] <torvil_> To to the almost end of the download and I get a message "download interrupted" when I try to resume its starts all over again..nine attempts now
[16:30] <somsip> torvil_: are you able to download the torrent instead?
[16:31] <torvil_> I havn't tried
[16:31] <torvil_> I will give that a go....
[16:31] <somsip> torvil_: it is an alternative if it might be a connection issue
[16:31] <torvil_> Ok one from the official site I assume??
[16:31] <A_J_> somsip, i tried to purge java it failed. and updating via software center provides an error message saying unable to update or modify
[16:32] <A_J_> i'm on 12.04lts
[16:32] <somsip> torvil_: it would be safest, and md5 it after downloading
[16:32] <torvil_> MD5 ?
[16:33] <somsip> !md5 | torvil_
[16:33] <torvil_> Ok I'll will read up now!
[16:38] <aabs08>   /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER aabs08 ejxqlimcjdtg
[16:38] <somsip> aabs08: ooops - plain text password alert!
[16:39] <Nach0z> aabs08: well done.
[16:39] <torvil_> Ok for some reason it has worked whilst asking on here as an ISO file on my desktop. When I open it it opens with NTI cd&DvD maker? Will this burn it as an appropriate ISO file?
[16:40] <segio> Hola alguien que pueda ayudar ?
[16:41] <SchrodingersScat> torvil_: never heard of that software, but something that burns isos to disk should be worth a try.
[16:41] <BluesKaj> !es | segio
[16:41] <segio> alguien que hable español que quiera ayudar por favor
[16:42] <segio> ok ubuttu
[16:42] <segio> gracias
[16:42] <torvil_> Ok I downloaded deep burner today I will try to open it there and give that a try thanks for the help
[16:46] <cholbyprotection> how do i install linux?
[16:47] <maliboy> cholbyprotection, its simple, did you burn a DVD ?
[16:47] <cholbyprotection> what's a DVD?
[16:48] <Uncancelled> hi ;)
[16:50] <torvil_> deep burner will not load the ISO file as it is not a "deep burner file"
[16:50] <torvil_> NTI doesn't give me the option to save to a usb
[16:50] <torvil_> So I'm trying to burn it to a DVD
[16:53] <torvil_> I'm out of my depth with this stuff....
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> I'm having some trouble with getting a service to start at boot
[16:55] <torvil_> Is feeling out of depth with this stuff!
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> the symlinks are all there
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> and the service starts find manually
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> however, when I check the boot.log
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> https://gist.github.com/ryanneufeld/223e88153659edeab40c
[16:55] <ryanneufeld> It doesn't even try to start it
[16:55] <SchrodingersScat> !liveusb | torvil_
[16:56] <ryanneufeld> the service is cfengine
[16:56] <mugetsu> hello
[16:56] <ppf> what kind of service is it?
[16:56] <ryanneufeld> ppf it's cfengine3
[16:56] <mugetsu> does anyone have issues with trying to get bluetooth to work on ubuntu?
[16:56] <ppf> systemd? upstart? init.d?
[16:57] <SchrodingersScat> torvil_: i normally use something like imgburn, but software like unetbootin or lilo can make a liveusb for you.
[16:57] <ryanneufeld> ppf: there is an init.d script
[16:57] <ppf> then you need to run update-rc.d to have it start at boot
[16:58] <rerte> how do i install a package manual?
[16:58] <ryanneufeld> ppf: https://gist.github.com/ryanneufeld/d011782149697b1a9512
[16:58] <ryanneufeld> ppf: I have
[16:58] <ryanneufeld> update-rc.d cfengine3 defaults
[16:58] <ryanneufeld>  System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/cfengine3 already exist.
[16:58] <cholbyprotection> how do i install linux?
[16:59] <jhutchins> ryanneufeld: Many Debian daemons have a file in /etc/defaults or /etc/sysconfig that controls whether they start at boot.
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> /etc# find rc* -iname "*cfengine*"
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc0.d/K20cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc1.d/K20cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc2.d/S80cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc3.d/S80cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc4.d/S80cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc5.d/S80cfengine3
[16:59] <ryanneufeld> rc6.d/K20cfengine3
[16:59] <jhutchins> ryanneufeld: That way the package can set up all the start links, but the script bombs out if it's not enabled.
[16:59] <OerHeks> !paste
[16:59] <Nicomachus> Thank you, OerHeks...
[17:00] <jhutchins> ryanneufeld: There should be instructions in /usr/share/doc/<package>/README.debian or the like.
[17:00] <ryanneufeld> jhutchins: there is not
[17:05] <rerte> How do i install a package manual with out apt-get method and on a other hard drive?
[17:05] <ryanneufeld> jhutchins: the defaults file looks fine, but it's like the init process is just skipping it
[17:05] <ryanneufeld> is there a way to interactively start the system so I can see if it's even attempting to start the service?
[17:07] <tomodachi> ryanneufeld: just add something to the init script *in the beginif  of it , like:   echo "its starting"  >> /var/log/syslog
[17:07] <tomodachi> ryanneufeld: then you can see in your syslog that its actually started since it wrote to yer syslog
[17:07] <jhutchins> ryanneufeld: https://docs.cfengine.com/latest/guide-installation-and-configuration-general-installation.html
[17:08] <ryanneufeld> thanks for slapping me with the RTFM
[17:11] <skinkitten> how can I wipe my computer clean & start with a fresh ubuntu 14.04
[17:12] <hydrajump> after installing 14.04 LTS, if I do a `sudo apt full-upgrade` does that mean that it is no longer LTS?
[17:12] <hydrajump> skinkitten: boot you computer from the ubuntu 14.04 live cd is one option
[17:12] <hydrajump> then wipe you internal hard drive and reinstall ubuntu 14.04
[17:12] <compdoc> 14.10 isnt LTS
[17:12] <hydrajump> compdoc: 14.04
[17:13] <NoobsFlyVFR> If you do a distupgrade and you're upgraded to 14.10, it's no longer LTS, hydrajump.
[17:13] <hydrajump> does `full-upgrade` make it into 14.10?
[17:13] <NoobsFlyVFR> "full-upgrade"?
[17:13] <Pici> hydrajump: aptitude full-upgrade? No, thats the same behavior as apt-get dist-upgrade.
[17:13] <Pici> !dist-upgrade
[17:14] <hydrajump> NoobsFlyVFR: new option `apt full-upgrade performs the same function as apt-get dist-upgrade.`
[17:14] <compdoc> I think its sudo do-release-upgrade -d  that jumps to the next release
[17:14] <NoobsFlyVFR> hydrajump, I did notice, I meant to imply that how will it retain LTS support if it's already upgrading to a later release.
[17:14] <NoobsFlyVFR> Only x.04 releases are Long Term Support.
[17:14] <bynarie> anyone know how to fix the "lib mtp" error while transferring files between ubuntu and android thru MTP?
[17:15] <compdoc> apt-get dist-upgrade stays with the current release, but upgrades the kernel, etc
[17:15] <skinkitten> hydrajump, could I install ubuntu 14.10 from the terminal with an internet connection?
[17:15] <hydrajump> compdoc: right so `full-upgrade` whcih is what I mentioned as it is the same as `dist-upgrade` the result will still be LTS?
[17:16] <compdoc> Ive never used full-upgrade
[17:16] <compdoc> the result will still be LTS, yes
[17:16] <hydrajump> compdoc: ` 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux` that's what I have
[17:16] <hydrajump> ^^ is LTS, right?
[17:16] <compdoc> 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:17] <compdoc> thats one of mine
[17:18] <hydrajump> great. NoobsFlyVFR comment is what threw me off about 14.10 I know that is not LTS, but 14.04 LTS > dist-upgrade or full-upgrade != 14.10
[17:19] <hydrajump> skinkitten: how do yo mean? you want to download 14.10 from the internet using the terminal?
[17:19] <hydrajump> skinkitten: you're going to have to download the iso, boot your computer with it, install in the simplest case
[17:19] <skinkitten> hydrajump, nvm. downloading 14.10 image iso file. thanks much appreciated.
[17:20] <xdexter> Hello, you can use the username / password logged on the computer to authenticate to the apt-get proxy?
[17:30] <Naphatul> where can i get the logs of a specific service?
[17:31] <teward> Naphatul: depends on the service, it might not log to a standard location
[17:31] <maps> hello. I have finally accomplished the task of installing ubuntu server on my N54L, and finally I was able to login… I've installed unity (will most likely be uninstalled again when I've got everything in place)… my issue right now is that I am not able to change the resolution (it's set to 640x480(4:3) and I'm unable to change)… how can I fix this? is a driver issue?
[17:31] <teward> Naphatul: your start point would be /var/log/
[17:32] <teward> Naphatul: but it might not actually log there, it might log to syslog or such.
[17:32] <teward> Naphatul: or its own file in its run directory (for poorly configured things)
[17:35] <cholbyprotection>  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[17:35] <asarch> If you use Google Chrome to wath Netflix, don't upgrade to the new release
[17:36] <asarch> It hangs up the entire system
[17:36] <asarch> You will need to do a full reboot to recover it
[17:36] <asarch> And with a downgrade of the Google Chrome Stable package will be fixed the problem
[17:36] <asarch> This is for AMD64
[17:37] <OerHeks> asarch, good advise .. not, to leave users with a vulnerable system.
[17:38] <asarch> Security it's only a state of mind
[17:38] <xjunior> I'm having an issue with upstart (https://gist.github.com/xjunior/765ff75ff8af4391498c). It starts and monitors a PID, but then the actual process is running a different PID!
[17:39] <asarch> Version 40.0.2214.91-1 works fine with Netflix :-)
[17:40] <TheBigDeal> what's the best way/command to go vivid vervet alpha 2 in Kubuntu?
[17:40] <OerHeks> asarch, that would be the current version
[17:41] <ch0lby_airlines>  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[17:41] <asarch> Really?
[17:41] <asarch> ...
[17:41] <OerHeks> TheBigDeal, upgrade with the -d development option, please join #ubuntu+1 for vivid upgrade and support
[17:42] <TheBigDeal> OerHeks, Thanks :)
[17:42] <OerHeks> asarch, yes, got it a few hours ago
[17:42] <teward> TheBigDeal: if you're doing that for an actual production environment though you might want to *not* update
[17:42] <asarch> ...
[17:42] <TheBigDeal> teward, development one
[17:42] <teward> TheBigDeal: ah, okay, had to ask :)
[17:43] <TheBigDeal> teward, Thanks :P
[17:43] <teward> asarch: i know people that use alpha/beta in their prod, so... :P
[17:43] <maps> hello. I've got a fresh install of ubuntu server on my N54L with unity… my resolution is locked at 640x480 and I can't change it… how can I fix this? is it a driver issue?
[17:44] <dgarstang> Trying to mkfs /dev/xvdi. Say it's in user. fuser says it's not. What to do?
[17:45] <OerHeks> maps, could be, sure, can you open dash: driver # and see if the restricted driver tool comes up?
[17:46] <OerHeks> * if you cannot see the whole window, drag it with ALT + leftmouse
[17:46] <myrkraverk> Is there a better way to list configured sources (from the command line) than to cat all files /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[17:47] <OerHeks> myrkraverk, that would list the added ppa's/ repository's only
[17:47] <myrkraverk> OerHeks, I know, was implying /etc/apt/sources.list too; sorry.
[17:48] <linuxbox_> ubuntu is cool
[17:49] <arun> hi all
[17:49] <keyvij> arun: hi
[17:49] <maps> OerHeks, no, can't see the restricted driver tool...
[17:50] <antimatroid> is anyone here familiar with writing an alt-notify-send script to get udev etc. to push notifications to user's desktops?
[17:50] <OerHeks> maps, oh, it pops up if i type driver in dash
[17:51] <OerHeks> maps open softwarecenter, when open on the top panel: edit > sources > last tab drivers
[17:54] <maps> OerHeks, it's open now on the last tab 'Additional Drivers'...
[17:54] <OerHeks> oke, let it search
[17:54] <OerHeks> * if you cannot see the whole window, drag it with ALT + leftmouse
[17:54] <maps> showing 'No additional drivers available'...
[17:55] <OerHeks> oke close it and open terminal: ctrl alt + T : lspci | grep VGA
[17:55] <OerHeks> lets see what GPU it gives
[17:56] <skinkitten> how do I run the bootable usb from the terminal....
[17:57] <bottazzini> Hey guys, does anyone here had trouble by configuration 2 monitors with Nvidia property driver?
[17:58] <TheBigDeal> Download complete and in download only mode, cannot understand what's happening?
[18:01] <antimatroid> is there an easy way to get udev to call a script as "source scriptname" rather than "scriptname"?
[18:01] <maps> OerHeks, VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250]
[18:02] <maps> OerHeks, is this what you were asking about?
[18:03] <OerHeks> maps yes, unfortunatly it is an old ATI, 2xxx 3xxx 4xxx are no longer supported in additional drivers, so i think you need to make an xorg.conf
[18:04] <arshia> How to run .com archives on ubuntu ???
[18:04] <jhutchins> arshia: What program were they compressed by?
[18:04] <arshia> Sublime text
[18:05] <maps> OerHeks, I've read many online posts mentioning xorg.config, but as the information doesn't seem to be the same across all posts, I decided to ask here before trying something...
[18:05] <jhutchins> arshia: That's not a compression program/protocol.
[18:05] <jhutchins> arshia: try "file <file>"
[18:05] <arshia> jhutchins: terminal ???
[18:05] <jhutchins> arshia: Of course.
[18:05] <jhutchins> arshia: I take it ark doesn't open it?

[18:09] <arshia> jhutchins: What can i do ???
[18:11] <skinkitten> this bootable usb is not booting
[18:11] <krumper> bla
[18:11] <skinkitten> how do I get this bootable usb to boot
[18:16] <hydrajump> skinkitten: you downloaded the ubuntu desktop iso and then how did you put it on the USB drive?
[18:18] <skinkitten> hydrajump, startup applications
[18:19] <hydrajump> why doesn't `xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --same-as LVDS` fill VGA-0 but instead it start in the top left corner and there is a large unused space.
[18:19] <krumper> _
[18:19] <hydrajump> skinkitten: "startup applications" have you folloed this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu

[18:20] <Myrkur> hi guys
[18:20] <Myrkur> i'm having a problem with a partition
[18:20] <skinkitten> hydrajump, word mistake. it was indeed "startup disk creator"

[18:21] <Myrkur> someone told me ubuntu'sroot was a bit special is that it ?
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> a bit special?
[18:24] <idnc_sk> hi
[18:24] <idnc_sk> quick question
[18:24] <Myrkur> MonkeyDust: something like there's isn't a root user out of the box you need to create it MonkeyDust
[18:24] <idnc_sk> *noob question
[18:24] <skinkitten> I'm getting permission denied with sudo using the root user
[18:24] <SchrodingersScat> !ask | idnc_sk
[18:25] <idnc_sk> how do I get rid of that *** behaviour that whenever I plug ethNN in, my wlan gets powered down
[18:25] <idnc_sk> I disabled pm for wireless
[18:25] <idnc_sk> wlan0 in this case
[18:26] <idnc_sk> searched for any rfkill lines in etc(but this is not used)
[18:26] <Myrkur> MonkeyDust: I can see the directory on the explorer, but not on the terminal
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> Myrkur  use sudo to get root access
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> Myrkur  like  sudo apt-get update
[18:27] <imastupidguest> Is there some place (a directory) where database files are typically found on ubuntu 14.04? Or is there some convention on where to save database files?
[18:27] <Myrkur> MonkeyDust: i'm already using root
[18:27] <idnc_sk> whenever I plug my eth cable into ethN , wlan0 gets disabled no matter what I do(and no way to get that iface running again)
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> Myrkur  great, so what's the issue?
[18:27] <Myrkur> I used su - and then ls would only display lost+find although I know there's three other directory
[18:27] <Myrkur> and these directory I can see in the file explorer
[18:27] <Sacrelicious> Hey all, I'm having some issues with a couple games recognizing my gamepad for some reason, even though linux does recognize it. Is there any software available that will allow me to bind gamepad keys to keyboard keys? I recall using a few of these with windows in the past.

[18:32] <xanthine> http://i.imgur.com/rOo5wKQ.png anyone know how to fix this error
[18:32] <muaazc> my monitors display isnt working with the new update. what must i do
[18:32] <xanthine> getting this on boot now
[18:32] <muaazc> i have 14.04 and since the update , my monitor isnt working
[18:33] <hspcd> How do Ubuntu users update the BIOS if their PC vendor (HP) does not provide Linux based BIOS update utils?
[18:33] <bottazzini> muaazc, do you use what driver ?
[18:33] <bottazzini> hspcd, i think it is not provided you should not update it
[18:35] <leidjane> oi
[18:35] <skinkitten> which file inside the bootable usb will run it
[18:37] <muaazc> bottazzini, no driver...got a laptop...
[18:37] <muaazc> solutions?
[18:38] <bottazzini> muaazc, do you have nvidia or something ?
[18:39] <bottazzini> are you plugin an external monitor with VGA/HDMI/Display porT?
[18:39] <muaazc> bottazzini, i just installed ubuntu today, im new to it... but i got nvidia
[18:40] <skinkitten> How do I change the boot-order on startup? is it f2?
[18:40] <hspcd> bottazzini: It is provided.  I downloaded it.  It addresses stability issues and needs to be installed.  I tried using a FreeDOS live CD but the exe from HP won't run in DOS mode.
[18:41] <Myrkur> MonkeyDust: nvmd I was just looking at the wrong disk, I thought i mounted /dev/sda5 but it was /dev/sda6 that I wanted...
[18:42] <bottazzini> muaazc, press windows(super) key on your with your ubuntu
[18:42] <bottazzini> muaazc, type additional drivers
[18:42] <bottazzini> and choose what video drive you want to use
[18:42] <bottazzini> then you will be able to use a second monitor =)
[18:43] <muaazc> ok thanks alot , bottazzini
[18:45] <skinkitten> so I changed the boot order to be the bootable usb - the screen is now - Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path \n gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image \n boot: - it repeats those last two lines over & over
[18:46] <skinkitten> is the bootable usb bugged?
[18:46] <deadmund> Am I using the correct syntax?  Can I do sudo apt-file search "*java-8*" to get packages with paths containing "java-8" ?
[18:49] <Pici> deadmund: You don't need sudo for that, nor do you need the wildcards.  But make sure you've run sudo apt-file update recently.
[18:49] <squinty> deadmund:  or you can also use the search facilities at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[18:49] <jbouron> Hi, how can fix wrong button colors with some theme ? For example with Siva Flat the window background is black and the buttons white O.O
[18:50] <Gugg> join
[18:50] <deadmund> Pici, for me, apt-file search java-8-oracle returns nothing, but I have a file on my machine:  /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java
[18:50] <jbouron> exit
[18:50] <deadmund> Pici, And I did update.  Any ideas why it isn't working?
[18:51] <jbouron> anyone ?
[18:53] <Pici> deadmund: Probably because that was not installed by apt directly.  I believe that oracle java gets downloaded/installed by a post-install process of the Ubuntu package.
[18:53] <deadmund> Pici, interesting... thanks
[18:53] <_7krumper> fdvfd
[18:57] <navid> Anyone know the solution to this python error on my ubuntu server ImportError: No module named 'sqlalchemy', google isnt being too helpful
[18:58] <Pici> Navid: install python-sqlalchemy via apt, or just the sqlalchemy package from pip if you are working in a venv.
[18:59] <Navid> Already have python-sqlalchemy through apt.
[18:59] <Navid> How would I go abouts doing it through pip
[19:00] <jbouron> anyone for button color issue ? Plz. It's ugly as F***
[19:00] <manornk> Hi, I used foremost to recover some .zip files, and now i have bunch of binary files. How can i fix this?
[19:01] <Navid> I did it via pip, Requirement already up-to-date: SQLAlchemy in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages   was the returned string. Maybe its cause I have python 2.7 installed?
[19:08] <roothorick> any tricks for speeding up boot time? My laptop seems to spend most of its time between the firmware handing off to GRUB and the kernel calling init. What can I do to shorten that timeframe?

[19:16] <FLeiXiuS> I have a 24" monitor connected via HDMI to a AMD 5870.  My resolution is 1080p but it looks as if its 640x380. Any ideas?

[19:16] <_7krumper> -_
[19:17] <_7krumper> -
[19:17] <FLeiXiuS> :-P
[19:17] <_Trullo> resolution should be 1900x1200
[19:17] <k1l> FLeiXiuS: any adapters?
[19:17] <_Trullo> 1920x1200 that is
[19:17] <FLeiXiuS> _Trullo, yes.  It is.
[19:17] <flipsidecreation> hello, has anyone else have issues with 14.10 and H.264 video glitching / artifacting?
[19:17] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, Adapters - nope just HDMI
[19:18] <k1l> FLeiXiuS: the ubuntu fglrx package installed?
[19:18] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, Yep.  Tried that initially.  Then installed the omega drivers from amd
[19:18] <jbouron> FLeiXiuS: I experienced this bug earlier. Check forums for solution I don't remember it sorry
[19:19] <k1l> well, we cant know what the website drivers do or dont.
[19:19] <chulis> I have a big problem i have installed xubuntu64 on my new laptop amd a6-6310 with 4gb and almost every day it falls down my old laptop has lubuntu32 and never fall down and my answer is if i install lubuntu32 on my new laptop it will be all right? excuse for my english
[19:19] <FLeiXiuS> jbouron, It's not overscan/underscan related.  Driving me nuts..do you remember any clues as to what it was
[19:19] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, Agreed thats why I'm back on the provided fglrx packages
[19:19] <jbouron> FLeiXiuS: When you try to change resolution you only have 640*800, that's it ?
[19:20] <FLeiXiuS> jbouron, No it lists all supported and its currently set to 1920x1200
[19:21] <jbouron> FLeiXiuS: So it's not the same as mine, sorry I would like to help you more :(
[19:21] <FLeiXiuS> xrandr has it set correctly as well.  Just everything is ridiculously large.
[19:21] <FLeiXiuS> Looks like something is scaling it up.  Not sure what
[19:22] <k1l> FLeiXiuS: so what drivers are actually in use there?
[19:22] <k1l> FLeiXiuS: did it work with the clean ubuntu fglrx?
[19:22] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, It hasnt worked since i switched to hdmi
[19:22] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, But I'm using 2:13.350.1-0ubuntu2
[19:24] <k1l> FLeiXiuS: no change when you set it in the amd conrtl settings thingy? catalyst or what its called?
[19:24] <FLeiXiuS> k1l, Nope - no modifications made.  Only changes made were new video card using hdmi.
[19:24] <FLeiXiuS> Went from a 6800 to a 5800
[19:25] <FLeiXiuS> I had performed a complete reinstall to validate the drivers were at least sane/compiled correctly

[19:33] <wifimisery> hello I am in need of help with Ubuntu
[19:33] <skinkitten> what is a good irc client for ubuntu?
[19:33] <wifimisery> Does anybody know how to fix broken WiFi?
[19:34] <mitt> skinkitten: xchat
[19:34] <TheEternalAbyss_> does digital ocean offer a paid support service or something?
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> skinkitten  try a few, then use the one you like most
[19:34] <k1l> TheEternalAbyss_: best is to ask them, and i think yes :)
[19:34] <wifimisery> I have posted on Ask Ubuntu but not able to get help. I really need my WiFi to work, is there anyone who can help me?
[19:34] <k1l> skinkitten: start with hexchat.
[19:34] <mitt> wifimisery: describe the problem
[19:35] <jbouron> Sacrelicious: do the controller works with some games or not at all
[19:35] <wifimisery> Hi Mitt, thank you. Unfortunately I can't describe much, I just can't connect to wifi... can I link to my Ask Ubuntu question, there's details on the device in use there...
[19:36] <mitt> wifimisery: then send us the link
[19:36] <divBy0> hi, does anyone know of a program that will give process information through a gui like maybe by moving a cursor over a window you can get the process name?
[19:36] <wifimisery> http://askubuntu.com/questions/575216/wifi-suddenly-cant-connect
[19:38] <k1l> wifimisery: what router is it?
[19:38] <Gregory>  /join #devandclick
[19:39] <mitt> divBy0: not sure about exactly what you want but gnome-system-monitor is very easy to use and the processes there are described, it's included by default in Ubuntu
[19:39] <divByz0> im just looking for a way to find the name of a process through gui so i can kill it in top
[19:39] <wifimisery> Hi Kll, how do I get the info needed about the router? The router came from my internet company which is SaskTel... my tablet and other laptops are able to connect to the WiFi though...
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> divBy0  system monitor
[19:39] <divByz0> ok thanks monkeydust and mitt
[19:40] <divByz0> how does one register their nick in freenode?
[19:40] <mitt> wifimisery: do you know the name of your wireless card? probably drivers in kernel are not included
[19:40] <mitt> wifimisery: install lshw if you don't know
[19:41] <k1l> wifimisery: long story short: i had the same issue with my nexus4 android smartphone since using the cm12 nightlies form january 18th. all other devices had no issues. i deleted the entry for my nexus4s mac adress in the router settings. that solved it. router is a avm fritzbox
[19:41] <k1l> !register | divByz0
[19:41] <divByz0> k thanks all
[19:43] <divBy0> !register | divBy0
[19:47] <NoImNotNineVolt> okay, my repeat-key functionality just stopped working out of nowhere.
[19:47] <NoImNotNineVolt> weird. opening the settings screen said it was still turned on.
[19:47] <NoImNotNineVolt> so i toggled it twice and that seems to have fixed it.
[19:47]  * NoImNotNineVolt scratches head and moves on
[19:52] <pjHarv> #libgdx
[19:54] <Fweddy> so is adding someone to the sudo group essentially the same as "giving them root access"
[19:54] <k1l> Fweddy: yes
[19:56] <pjHarv> .
[19:56] <Fweddy> ok. is there a different commonly used way or is this how it is typically done?
[19:56] <skinkitten> How do I unzip a zip from the terminal to a directory?
[19:56] <MonkeyDust> Fweddy  use sudo visudo
[19:56] <k1l> Fweddy: its the ubuntu way. since ubuntu doesnt handle root-access with the root-account but with the sudo command
[19:57] <k1l> !unzip | skinkitten
[19:57] <Fweddy> ok thanks
[19:57] <skinkitten> !extract | skinkitten
[19:57] <k1l> Fweddy: is there an issue or is this just a question in general
[19:57] <Lachezar> Hey all. Is it possible to use a Bluetooth headset to my Xubuntu laptop? Lenovo T530?
[19:57] <Fweddy> k1l: just a general question
[19:57] <k1l> !zip | skinkitten
[19:58] <k1l> skinkitten: at the bottom of that page cli usage is mentioned
[19:59] <Fweddy> k1l: Is it ok to assume that a newly created user that isn't added to any groups will only be able to browse the file system but not change anything?
[19:59] <pbx> Fweddy, no
[20:00] <Lachezar> Whatever I try I get 'Stream setup failed'
[20:00] <skinkitten> k1l, how can I understand the letters for untar e.g. tar jxwfuz29rewf <filename>
[20:00] <Fweddy> pbx: what can they change?
[20:00] <k1l> Fweddy: that depends on the file permissions set to the files and folders. if they are set to "everyone can do everything" like 777 then no. if they are set quite strict he even cant read them, like the auth.log etc.
[20:00] <NoImNotNineVolt> skinkitten: man tar
[20:00] <pbx> Fweddy, anything that's world-writeable
[20:01] <Fweddy> k1l: howabout on a fresh ubuntu install. are the permissions locked down a fair bit?
[20:01] <k1l> Fweddy: so most important system settings should be set as "only sudo can write" and yes, then your assumption is right.
[20:02] <Fweddy> so unless they were explicitly changed to 777 or the like. ok cool
[20:02] <k1l> skinkitten: i cant remember the letters myself and need to look them up every time.
[20:02] <k1l> skinkitten: see http://xkcd.com/1168/  :)
[20:03] <k1l> Fweddy: yes. there are some very wrong howtos and "tips" which suggest to just change the permissions to 777 all the time. but they spoil that security system.
[20:03] <NoImNotNineVolt> k1l: skinkitten: `tar -xzvf something.tar.gz` to extract. s/x/c/ to create instead of extract, or something like that :P
[20:04] <Fweddy> k1l: noted
[20:04] <NoImNotNineVolt> -xzvf covers 99% of usage. when's the last time you created a tarball? :P
[20:04] <skinkitten> k1l, :) How about unzipping a zip to a directory? is there a way to grep the files in the direction I want to push it
[20:04] <NoImNotNineVolt> don't bother.
[20:05] <NoImNotNineVolt> put the tarball in a directory by itself. tar -xzvf it. then mv as needed after.
[20:06] <k1l> skinkitten: unzip file.zip -d destination_folder
[20:06] <k1l> where destination_folder looks like /path/to/a/place/
[20:06] <skinkitten> k1l, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8107886/create-folder-for-zip-file-and-extract-to-it
[20:06] <skinkitten> :)
[20:07] <chulis> I have a big problem i have installed xubuntu64 on my new laptop amd a6-6310 with 4gb and almost every day it falls down my old laptop has lubuntu32 and never fall down and my answer is if i install lubuntu32 on my new laptop it will be all right? excuse for my english
[20:08] <bprompt> chulis:    sure, though I"d rather install lubuntu 64bits though
[20:09] <NoImNotNineVolt> chulis: if you're dealing with two different laptops, it might be a hardware problem. if it's a hardware problem, changing the os might not help.
[20:09] <chulis> with lubuntu64 will be better?
[20:10] <chulis> the laptop es new a i think it has be ok
[20:10] <chulis> it has amd radeon r4 graphic
[20:11] <bprompt> chulis:    it'd be lighter, I assume an amd a6, is just an Acer aspire with amd cpu... so is likely either a dual-core cpu, or a 64bit single-core, so I'd go with the 64bit of Lubuntu
[20:11] <chulis> its acer aspire e16 amd cuad core
[20:11] <bprompt> and those acer aspire are usually low on ram, only 1 ram bank IIRC, that can be maxed out at 4gbs
[20:12] <chulis> amd a6-6310
[20:12] <chulis> it has 4gb ram and 8 swap
[20:13] <Swft> so I have compiled a binary on my SSH server and now I need it. how can I get it? it doesn't have a web frontend so unfortunately, im stuck
[20:13] <NoImNotNineVolt> Swft: scp
[20:13] <chulis> so its better to change my distro?
[20:13] <Swft> NoImNotNineVolt, whats that?
[20:13] <bprompt> chulis:    then your "fall down" or slow down, is likely due to the ram footprint of xubuntu....Lubuntu is meant to be lighter, but I'd go with the 64bit, though apps can take advantage of the cycle processing
[20:13] <NoImNotNineVolt> Swft: ssh + cp
[20:13] <NoImNotNineVolt> if you can ssh, you can copy.
[20:14] <Swft> NoImNotNineVolt; the SSH server is different
[20:14] <Swft> NoImNotNineVolt; i mean, i didnt compile that binary on my OWN system
[20:14] <chulis> ok thanks il try with lub64
[20:14] <NoImNotNineVolt> perhaps i misunderstood.
[20:14] <NoImNotNineVolt> you want to get a file from host A to host B.
[20:14] <Swft> yes, that's right
[20:14] <NoImNotNineVolt> does host A run an ssh server?
[20:14] <Swft> yes.
[20:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> what OS does host B run?
[20:15] <Swft> linux
[20:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> okay, on host b:
[20:15] <NoImNotNineVolt> scp username_on_host_A@host_A:/path/to/file/on/host/A/filename.ext ./
[20:16] <Swft> NoImNotNineVolt; then?
[20:16] <NoImNotNineVolt> that's it.
[20:16] <NoImNotNineVolt> that copies the file from Host A to the current working directory on host B.
[20:17] <k1l> !scp | Swft
[20:17] <Swft> let me try
[20:17] <NoImNotNineVolt> for more information on scp, type into a console: man scp
[20:18] <NoImNotNineVolt> it's like cp. but it works with remote files over ssh.
[20:18] <sssss_> anyone here us xchat?
[20:18] <NoImNotNineVolt> god no. not since a long time ago.
[20:18] <k1l> sssss_: some do. but you can switch to hexchat which is the successor of xchat
[20:18]  * Lachezar had to install pulseaudio module for bluetooth
[20:19] <Swft> k1l; do you use irssi?
[20:19] <sssss_> I'm trying to find some chat text (years old), but I can't remember the network, or even the name of the room. But I know the scrollback log would appear if I could only remember and enter the right place. Does anyone know where XChat stores scrollback logs? It would be awfully handy to find previous rooms, dates, and the text. What type of file would it be?
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> Swft  i use irssi
[20:20] <NoImNotNineVolt> ah, that's a good question.
[20:20] <k1l> sssss_: its stored in the .xchat folder in the users home
[20:20] <sssss_> im using it on windows, though.
[20:21] <SchrodingersScat> !ot | sssss_
[20:21] <NoImNotNineVolt> heh
[20:21] <k1l> sssss_: well, then ask the windows guys or better the xchat guys.
[20:21] <NoImNotNineVolt> sssss_: try the windows equivalent of the home directory?
[20:22] <sssss_> i assume the actual file used to store the logs is the same on any platform
[20:22] <bottazzini> sssss_, on linux would be ~/.xchat2/log or something like this
[20:22] <sssss_> okay, let me hunt
[20:22] <bottazzini> maybe on windows would be something near this
[20:23] <k1l> sssss_: i answered you the ubuntu related storage. for other OSs please ask their support or ask xchat guys. thanks
[20:24] <sssss_> does xchat have its own irc channel?
[20:24] <bottazzini> Does anyone know here if ubuntu will start using systemd instead of upstart?
[20:24] <NoImNotNineVolt> yes.
[20:24] <NoImNotNineVolt> bottazzini: yes.
[20:24] <bottazzini> when NoImNotNineVolt
[20:24] <bottazzini> ?
[20:25] <k1l> bottazzini: target is 16.04 as standard. but it will be installable from 15.04 on
[20:25] <k1l> !alis | sssss_
[20:25] <bottazzini> kl1 nice :)
[20:26] <sssss_> oh wow, thanks guys!
[20:26] <sssss_> in application data I found the entire folder, laballed scrollback, and it has everything neatly in folders with txts of all previous logs
[20:26] <sssss_> thank you for leading me where to find it
[20:27] <bottazzini> ;)
[20:29] <Ali_linux> Hi!Is there any proxy app for Ubuntu 14.10 ?
[20:30] <bottazzini> Ali_linux, redsocks or tsocks maybe?
[20:30] <bekks> Ali_linux: what exactly are you trying to do?
[20:30] <mucus> where can i find builds of ubuntu phone?

[20:32] <bottazzini> Ali_linux, i'm curious
[20:32] <NoImNotNineVolt> Ali_linux: and nothing of value was lost.
[20:32] <bottazzini> where are you from ?
[20:32] <Ali_linux> I'm Iranian.
[20:33] <NoImNotNineVolt> greetings, persian friend :)
[20:33] <bekks> Ali_linux: So you need to use a proxy server which is located outside of Iran. At that point a "proxy app" on your local computer will not help you.
[20:33] <sssss_> good day
[20:34] <bottazzini> Ali_linux, have you tried Tor project?
[20:34] <Ali_linux> But,Tor Project site is blocked too!
[20:39] <Ali_linux> Guys!I didn't find any Tor download link!all of them are blocked.What can I do?
[20:40] <bbbbb> Ali_linux: use a proxy or something
[20:40] <bbbbb> or make a free shell and wget it there then scp it from your desktop
[20:40] <bbbbb> /j #bshellz
[20:41] <Ali_linux> Thanks!
[20:41] <bbbbb> no problem!
[20:42] <Ali_linux> I found a download link that was not blocked.

[20:50] <MonkeyDust> change your password!
[20:50] <mucus> all of them
[20:50] <xangua>  Not nice😈
[20:50] <Jordan_U> JustSighDudes: You should always communicate with nickserv in the server window so there is no chance of accidentally sending your password to a channel.
[20:51] <bottazzini> lol
[20:51] <Jordan_U> JustSighDudes: Sorry, tab completion failed since jul13n left :)
[20:58] <marcelo> Hey, Is wine really that effective?
[20:58] <hwill2> i'm really disappointed with how deliberately sloppy sound is in ubuntu. the help docs online aren't helpful. my sound card is detected and the channels are unmuted but i still get no sound
[20:58] <bbbbb> marcelo: i guess it depends on what you're using it for
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> !wine | marcelo find out
[20:58] <bbbbb> marcelo: never used it though
[20:58] <xangua> marcelo: depends, check wine appdb
[20:59] <marcelo> ubottu? is that like a bot or something?
[20:59] <NoImNotNineVolt> hwill2: don't worry, the guy that brought you pulseaudio is the same guy that's bringing us systemd.
[20:59] <marcelo> yep, bot it is
[21:00] <mucus> damn
[21:00] <mucus> ubottu is really down on itself
[21:00] <hwill2> how do i just get my damn sound working?
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> hwill2  by not using profane language
[21:01] <NoImNotNineVolt> hwill2: you're experiencing an isolated issue, it seems.
[21:01] <NoImNotNineVolt> i hate ubuntu with a passion, but i've never had problems with audio.
[21:01] <mucus> you hate ubuntu with a passion?
[21:01] <mucus> what is there to hate?
[21:01] <NoImNotNineVolt> mucus: beyond the scope of an irc rant.
[21:01] <marcelo> linux - where there's a bunch of stuff to learn
[21:02] <mucus> ubuntu is a great place for plebs (like me) to get their feet wet in linux
[21:02] <NoImNotNineVolt> perhaps.
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> marcelo  learn ubuntu like you learned windows or mac: by using it
[21:02] <bbbbb> is there any way to get the sound working close to how good it works in windows?
[21:02] <mucus> don't suggest arch as a first linux os
[21:02] <SchrodingersScat> it's also offtopic here
[21:02] <bbbbb> it feels way way louder in windows and more ambient
[21:02] <NoImNotNineVolt> slackware 3.4 was my first linux.
[21:03] <marcelo> I have learned ubuntu, and I fell in love with the terminal
[21:03] <k1l> bbbbb: on my machine it works as it should work (llike on windows)
[21:03] <bbbbb> k1l: did you do anything special to get it that way?
[21:03] <bbbbb> it's night and day difference for me
[21:04] <k1l> bbbbb: no. but you can adjust the volume in the soundsettings in the top bar.
[21:04] <k1l> even an own volume level for each program.
[21:05] <bbbbb> k1l: yes at the highest level it's still around 50% of windows level, and going over 100% in ubuntu makes it distort
[21:06] <k1l> bbbbb: then maybe the manufacturer doesnt ship linux firmware/drivers so they need to reversenegeneer that. which is not 100% like windows of course where they get the drivers.
[21:06] <marcelo> I'm the kind of person that doesn't want to see Microsoft thriving, now with that hololens thingy...
[21:07] <bbbbb> 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> bbbbb  in other words: ask the hardware manufacturers to support linux
[21:07] <marcelo> 'ask'
[21:10] <bbbbb> MonkeyDust: it appears to be under the certified systems of ubuntu http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci/8086%3A1e20/ , maybe there's more to it, a fix etc.?
[21:14] <bbbbb> anybody have experience with this? http://tuxdiary.com/2013/08/07/fix-low-volume/
[21:15] <k1l> bbbbb: open "alsamixer" in terminal and adjust the volumes?
[21:16] <bbbbb> k1l: let me try alsa
[21:17] <bbbbb> k1l: it's the same, i set it to 100% but it makes no difference
[21:18] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Which mixer channel did you set to 100%? What mixer channels are listed?
[21:18] <bbbbb> Master
[21:18] <k1l> bbbbb: i have the same onboard audio and it works.
[21:18] <k1l> dont go up with master that high.
[21:19] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Only one channel was listed?
[21:19] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: Master Headphone Speaker PCM ..
[21:19] <k1l> i have master at 12, headphone and pcm at 100.
[21:19] <jasonfungsing> anyone tried to install ubuntu on MS surface pro 3?
[21:19] <k1l> like i said make sure the programs in the sound settings are not too low.
[21:20] <NoImNotNineVolt> is that anything like trying to install a honda b16a into a ferrari?
[21:20] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: What are the levels of headphone, speaker, and PCM?
[21:20] <bbbbb> k1l: in sound settings the music player is set to 100%
[21:20] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: 100 100 100
[21:21] <Ziber> I have a file that's space delimited that I'm using awk to pull stuff out of. One of the fields is quoted. And it's more than one words in quotes. How would I deal with that field?
[21:21] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Did you scroll to the right to ensure that there weren't any mixer channels beyone those 4?
[21:22] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: yes there are channels Mic Mic Boost S/PDIF Beep Auto Mut ( Enabled) Internal Loopback ( Disabled )
[21:24] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Please put quotes around all of the multi word channel names, or commas to delimite then, to be more clear.
[21:25] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: yes there are channels "Mic" "Mic Boost" "S/PDIF" "Beep" "Auto Mut" ( Enabled) "Internal" "Loopback" ( Disabled )
[21:26] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: it also says Chip: Intel PantherPoint HDMI
[21:27] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Are you using HDMI audio?
[21:28] <bbbbb> not that i know of, just regular mp3's
[21:28] <niko> /60
[21:28] <daftykins> this is the part we learn we're plugged into a TV
[21:28] <daftykins> ;)
[21:28] <bbbbb> daftykins: it was plugged in earlier, but it's always low on the volume
[21:29] <daftykins> you might want to reboot, sounds like it's stuck on the wrong device. or select the right device in settings / the mixer
[21:29] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: I'm not asking about what applications are playing. Are you connected to a monitor with built in speakers via an hdmi cable, and no other separate audio cables?
[21:30] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: no, i'm not
[21:30] <bbbbb> daftykins: it's always low on the volume, fresh reboots too
[21:30] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: OK. How are your speakers connected to your computer?
[21:30] <bbbbb> it's the laptop's speakers, dolby advanced audio
[21:31] <daftykins> that's just a marketing label.
[21:31] <bbbbb> oh, ok :D
[21:32] <DarthShader2> hey guys, need help with setting up a fresh kubuntu box. I have an nvidia gtx 750 with latest drivers, driving 2 monitors.
[21:33] <daftykins> DarthShader2: what's the problem then?
[21:33] <DarthShader2> The first monitor, a 1080p panel, is working fine. The 1440p Catleap is "not working"(tm)
[21:33] <daftykins> what cable type is being used with it?
[21:33] <DarthShader2> DVI-D
[21:33] <daftykins> and what does "not working" mean?
[21:33] <daftykins> wrong resolution or nothing at all?
[21:33] <DarthShader2> Setup known to work under Windows, btw.
[21:33] <DarthShader2> Nothing at all.
[21:34] <daftykins> dual link cable?
[21:34] <DarthShader2> In nvidia-settings, it's supposed to be driven at 800x600
[21:34] <DarthShader2> Yes, dual-link.
[21:34] <daftykins> what driver are you using? version # wise
[21:34] <DarthShader2> 340
[21:34] <daftykins> manual website download?
[21:34] <DarthShader2> Nope, got it from a repo, let me find which one.
[21:34] <daftykins> DarthShader2: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[21:34] <daftykins> xorg edgers probably.
[21:35] <daftykins> doesn't matter
[21:35] <DarthShader2> yep, that's the one
[21:35] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: Try disabling "auto mut". (though to be honest, I don't know what that feature is supposed to do).
[21:35] <DarthShader2> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9825201/
[21:36] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: no dice
[21:36] <daftykins> DarthShader2: which display is the NEC?
[21:36] <DarthShader2> That's the 1080p one.
[21:37] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: can i revert any effects of running this script http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=blob_plain;f=hda-analyzer/run.py
[21:37] <daftykins> figured, ok apparently your other one is giving a false EDID
[21:37] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: it says to run as root, and mentions 'critical unforseen issues'
[21:37] <DarthShader2> daftykins: The catleap doesn't have much in terms of brains; it was labeled "DUAL-DVI" under windows
[21:38] <daftykins> DarthShader2: some cheap korean job?
[21:38] <DarthShader2> daftykins: yep.
[21:39] <DarthShader2> daftykins Also happened to be the only 120Hz-capable 1440p IPS at time of purchase.
[21:39] <daftykins> DarthShader2: if you're reading along with the log file yourself, you can see it's very unhappy with that display
[21:39] <daftykins> DarthShader2: what input cable types does it support? only DVI?
[21:39] <DarthShader2> daftykins: yes, only DVI
[21:39] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: i've added the option to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as per site instructions
[21:39] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: can i load it without restarting?
[21:41] <daftykins> DarthShader2: how is the NEC connected?
[21:41] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: let me try restarting
[21:41] <DarthShader2> daftykins: Also DVI.
[21:42] <daftykins> DarthShader2: alright, have you at any point tried booting with just the catleap plugged into either of those on its' own? so leave the NEC off
[21:42] <DarthShader2> daftykins: I can try, but haven't yet.
[21:42] <themapplz> hey can someone tell me how i can make it so i can ssh to server.domain.com on my lan?
[21:42] <daftykins> DarthShader2: ok give it a whirl
[21:42] <DarthShader2> daftykins: Sure. Will be back in a moment.
[21:42] <daftykins> themapplz: instead of by IP?
[21:42] <themapplz> i have to write the lan ip
[21:42] <themapplz> yes
[21:43] <daftykins> themapplz: either fix your DNS, or edit your hosts file to point to that IP.
[21:43] <daftykins> but it may break things using a LAN IP :D
[21:43] <themapplz> it works fine from outside but i want my full.domain.com to work inside my lan as well
[21:43] <daftykins> when behind NAT it's safer to just deal with it
[21:44] <daftykins> yeah that sounds like your router's fault, probably.
[21:44] <themapplz> hmm
[21:44] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: daftykins it still says panther HDMI after rebooting, could that be it?
[21:44] <themapplz> yeah so i have to configure my router to route full.domain.com internally?
[21:45] <daftykins> no.
[21:45] <daftykins> make up a nickname and add it to your hosts file so that "nickname" = LAN IP
[21:45] <themapplz> ah ok
[21:46] <daftykins> just don't use the hostname else it'll break things :>
[21:47] <themapplz> but in my config file, can i have multiple HostNames for 1 Host ?
[21:49] <daftykins> themapplz: why?
[21:50] <DarthShader2> daftykins: No dice. When booting, the BIOS and then the KUBUNTU logo showed up, but then the screen went black. I waited for a few minutes to make sure. When shutting down, the screen flashed some text before powering off with the PC.
[21:50] <daftykins> DarthShader2: for both DVI ports? is the DVI cable for that one noticably thicker than for the other display?
[21:52] <DarthShader2> daftykins: I unplugged unplugging the 1080p NEC, so no. I'm using the thickest DVI cable I have for the Catleap, because otherwise it glitches and won't go above 90Hz (under Windows).
[21:52] <DarthShader2> *tried unplugged
[21:52] <daftykins> what do you mean no?
[21:53] <Noah___> How do I find my encryption key for my home folder. I accidentally closed the window that would have given me the key.
[21:53] <daftykins> DarthShader2: so you didn't try the catleap on both ports?
[21:53] <DarthShader2> "for both DVI ports?"
 The other port is known to sometimes glitch a little with the catleap, but I can try.
[21:55] <DarthShader2> Should I?
[21:55] <bbbbb> can someone help me out with this error? http://pastebin.com/Bx82fJQW
[21:56] <bbbbb> this is what i'm trying to run http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=blob_plain;f=hda-analyzer/hda_analyzer.py
[21:56] <daftykins> DarthShader2: it'd be good for the sake of completeness, after that you can play with xrandr to see if it reads anything from it, as per http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
 xrandr says it supports 800x600 only
[21:58] <daftykins> DarthShader2: check this out - http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club/2110#post_16887233
[21:59] <daftykins> DarthShader2: have just the catleap connected then try that config, if it works out you can adapt it to allow your other display too.
[22:00] <skirlet> hey all! can someone tell me how to load music (mp3s or whatnot) to my android. i am running ubuntu 14
[22:00] <DarthShader2> daftykins: thanks, will try
[22:00] <skirlet> thank you!!!!!!!
[22:00] <noah_> how do I find the encryption key to my home folder (asking again because I got disconnected)
[22:00] <k1l> skirlet: connect with usb cable and open the filemanager nautilus?
[22:01] <DarthShader2> daftykins: is it normal that I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[22:01] <skirlet> thank you! and like where do i put it on the droid? and what music app plays it??
[22:02] <daftykins> DarthShader2: yes
[22:02] <jhutchins> noah_: You don't.  That's the whole point of encryption.
[22:02] <k1l> skirlet: put it in folders as you want. for android apps better ask in #android
[22:02] <skirlet> ahhhhh
[22:02] <jbouron> skirlet: depends on your phone I think
[22:02] <noah_> jhutchins: but I never set it up I think it gave me a random one
[22:02] <skirlet> k thanks!! i'll keep on it!
[22:04] <daftykins> DarthShader2: more on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2038997
[22:05] <noah_> jhutchins: hello?
[22:06] <jhutchins> noah_: If there were a way to recover the key then anybody could "recover" it and the encryption wouldn't be worth while.
[22:07] <noah_> jhutchins: then what command did it run at the beginning? I set this up before and it said "we gave you a random key. enter your password to see it." I did. I had to set it up again and accidentally closed that window this time.
[22:07] <bbbbb> noah_: i think there's a way to unwrap the passphrase or something if you type your user's password, look on google for it
[22:08] <noah_> bbbbb: um... yeah. that's why i'm here. I have tried google.
[22:11] <crocmax> ciao
[22:12] <crocmax> *list
[22:12] <crocmax> !list
[22:15] <bbbbb> noah_: sudo ecryptfs-recover-private /path/to/dir
[22:16] <bbbbb> noah_: it will ask if you know your user's login say yes
[22:16] <DarthShader2> daftykins: just got both of my monitors working. Just one question, why is everything (e.g. text in my IRC client and taskbar) so tiny now?
[22:16] <bbbbb> noah_: for reference http://askubuntu.com/questions/120206/encrypted-home-forgotten-password-but-no-passphrase
[22:16] <DarthShader2> daftykins: BTW thanks for helping!
[22:16] <noah_> bbbbb: tried that. I realize now it's the mount passphrase i'm missing
[22:17] <bbbbb> noah_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering_Your_Mount_Passphrase
[22:17] <bbbbb> noah_: i know, but using that you can recover your encrypted dir with the user's password without the mount passphrase
[22:17] <daftykins> DarthShader2: DPI most likely. if you run... actually i don't have a clue what controls there are in kubuntu, but since you have two displays i'm not sure how changing that will cope with two different screens
[22:18] <noah_> bbbbb: tried that. got Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
[22:18] <bbbbb> then get your files, anyways check the second link it should have info about recovering the mount passphrase
[22:18] <daftykins> DarthShader2: no problem, note that i found those results by googling your display brand though.
[22:18] <DarthShader2> daftykins: I'm fine with one DPI for both screens, as long as the text is big enough. Will try looking for it.
[22:19] <noah_> bbbbb: tried that. got Error: Unwrapping passphrase failed [-5]
[22:20] <bbbbb> noah_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/60601/unwrapping-passphrase-and-inserting-into-the-user-session-keyring-failed
[22:24] <jhutchins> bbbbb: I'm seeing a pattern here...
[22:24] <DarthShader2> daftykins: figured out DPI, it was in "application appearance". Thanks again for the help.
[22:24] <daftykins> np!
[22:24] <jbouron> Does anyone knows why I can't change my mouse sensitivity ? Xubuntu 10.14
[22:25] <jbouron> Max or Min sens. are the same.
[22:25] <Ben64> jbouron: there is no 10.14, type "lsb_release -d" on the terminal and tell us the output
[22:25] <noah_> jhutchins: bbbbb it appears, somehow, wrapped-pasphrase was deleted. Oh well. hopefully I'll never have recover the data.
[22:26] <jbouron> Ben64: 14.10 sorry
[22:26] <jbouron> littlebit tired tonight ^^
[22:27] <DarthShader2> daftykins: I know this is probably going to be asking a lot, but do you have any idea on how to make the xorg.conf only be "valid" when my catleap is detected? I'm running kubuntu from a USB stick.
[22:28] <daftykins> DarthShader2: hot pluggable when you attach it only sometimes? not gonna happen :)
[22:28] <DarthShader2> daftykins: Ah okay then.
[22:29] <bbbbb> it appears that installing paman allows the volume to be increased without much distortion, but it's still feels like the dark ages compared to windows
[22:29] <daftykins> you'd have to substitute the xorg.conf and restart X each time
[22:30] <bbbbb> it says alsa is controlling the sound, is pulse better?
[22:31] <Jordan_U> bbbbb: pulseaudio runs on top of alsa.
[22:38] <bbbbb> Jordan_U: is there anything other than alsa i can try?
[22:39] <daftykins> you should be on pulse as default if it's normal ubuntu
[22:39] <TrivialGravitas> I'm having trouble installing wine due to a conflict with nvidia drivers
[22:40] <TrivialGravitas> nvidia-libopencl1-331 conflicts with libopencli, which WINE insists on
[22:40] <bparker> I always have lots of problems with pulse audio and hdmi devices so I usually have to uninstall it
[22:40] <TrivialGravitas> I assume WINE will work with the Nvidia compatible version, but can't get it to install that way
[22:41] <daftykins> TrivialGravitas: i've seen tonnes of articles online purely in passing, explaining how to avoid these conflicts
[22:41] <daftykins> may be worth looking at some
[22:41] <bparker> TrivialGravitas: I'm using wine with nvidia-331
[22:41] <TrivialGravitas> bparker: the problem is just getting the package manager to do it
[22:42] <bbbbb> bparker: are you suggesting i remove pulse? and the volume might increase, i'm using laptop speakers
[22:43] <TrivialGravitas> nevermind, the problem is Aptitude has gone to seed, Apt works fine
[22:43] <daftykins> yeah aptitude isn't recommended.
[22:43] <bparker> TrivialGravitas: libopencl1 isn't even a package
[22:44] <bparker> there is only ocl-icd-libopencl1 and nvidia-libopencl1-331
[22:44] <TrivialGravitas> I've been using Aptitude for 7 years :(
[22:44] <bbbbb> bparker: how are you removing pulse? it asks to remove others as well
[22:44] <daftykins> removing pulse isn't the wisest of moves :P
[22:44] <TrivialGravitas> was working great in 12.04, but I guess bit rot has taken hold as apt got better
[22:45] <bparker> I haven't used aptitude in about 15 years
[22:45] <NegativeFlare> If you're having trouble using programs that want direct access to /dev/dsp, use padsp or pasuspender
[22:45] <TrivialGravitas> I've usually ripped pulse out as soon as I fresh install, this is the first time it hasn't caused problems.
[22:45] <bparker> bbbbb: apt-get remove pulseaudio IIRC
[22:45] <bparker> not that I recommend it.
[22:45] <bbbbb> how do i remove it?
[22:46] <bparker> because I have no idea what other issues it might cause
[22:46] <bparker> but EWORKSFORME
[22:46] <bparker> not that I do much with my system
[22:46] <bbbbb> it says indicator-sound and others will also be removed, including ubuntu-desktop
[22:46] <bbbbb> *shrugs*
[22:46] <bparker> bbbbb: I don't have ubuntu-desktop installed, but I have xubuntu-desktop installed
[22:46] <k1l> removing pulseaudio is not an easy solution.
[22:47] <bparker> k1l: give several reasons why </philip j fry>
[22:48] <k1l> bparker: the whole (gnome) desktop set on pulseaudio. and besides its stage last years when it was really rubbish and more of a alpha stage its very settled now and is meant to "just work"
[22:49] <bbbbb> ok, i removed it
[22:52] <Faryshta> hi, if i a add .css files onthe AppAsset::$css array, it should include the files on the layout?
[22:53] <daftykins> Faryshta: not a dev channel :)
[22:56] <bbbbb> nope, no dice
[22:58] <k1l> bbbbb:  removing pulseaudio is not a good solution, imho. i think your windows has some equalizer settings inside the drivers to make the build-in speakers sound "better"
[22:59] <bbbbb> k1l: it's not only better, it's way way louder and clean too
[23:00] <k1l> like i said, i think its a drivers/firmware thing. you could search for your exact laptop model if its a known issue and what people did then
[23:02] <bbbbb> k1l: ok, thanks.
[23:05] <bbbbb> is there any way to have anything i add in modprobe.d take effect without restarting?
[23:07] <daftykins> sudo modprobe module_name_here
[23:08] <bbbbb> any idea what name i should use for alsa?
[23:10] <daftykins> no and i'm not really into audio setups so can't help you there
[23:11] <bbbbb> no problem, thanks anyways
[23:11] <bbbbb> this seems to do the job /sbin/alsa force-reload , i'm trying some options fingers crossed
[23:12] <bbbbb> it seems hp laptops have a history of low volume on ubuntu and people update the bios sometimes, the docs are pretty outdated so i dont know if it still applies though
[23:13] <jb0nd38372> Anyone here running Ubuntu on a motherboard with an AMD chipset? Preferably with the SB900 chipset.
[23:13] <daftykins> might be better to just say what's going on, jb0nd38372 - that's about as specific as you can get :P
[23:14] <jb0nd38372> daftykins, Not a good idea to start off with a specific question?
[23:15] <daftykins> that wasn't really a support question :)
[23:15] <daftykins> the likelihood fo someone running that hardware is really low
[23:17] <jb0nd38372> daftykins, well I guess I can rephrase it then. I was just trying to find a specific type of person with that chipset since nobody else could help since my problem is confined to that chipset
[23:18] <daftykins> why don't you say what's going on?
[23:20] <ki7rw> this aideinit sure takes a long time to do its thing
[23:23] <welly> Hello all. Having strange things occurring when creating a symbolic link. if I do (as an admin user) ln -nfs /home/test/production/releases/2015-01-23 /home/test/public_html it works fine however running su - test -c "ln -nfs /home/test/production/releases/2015-01-23 /home/test/public_html" to create the symbolic link as a user results in a directory public_html being created and the symbolic link underneath it. It's really odd
[23:24] <bparker> welly: probably because /home/test/public_html already existed when you ran as the test user, so it traversed the directory/symlink and created the link inside there
[23:24] <welly> bparker, no doesn't exist. I've deleted it first
[23:25] <welly> this is the strangest thing because it was working yesterday
[23:26] <bparker> strange
[23:26] <bparker> never heard of that
[23:26] <welly> although I did make a change to how my site was being deployed in jenkins, the actual deploy script hasn't changed much at all
[23:26] <welly> yeah, likewise. it's weird
[23:27] <welly> hmm.. alright when I get the script to run it as the admin user, it's creating the directory and not a symbolic link.
[23:27] <welly> i am stumped by this
[23:28] <jb0nd38372> I'm running 2 Corsair SSD's currently in Windows 7, Raid 0 and getting 900/mb read - 750mb write performance. I want to install ubuntu to that Raid setup that has been configured in bios. Grub will not install even though the rest of the install completes without problems. Any idea why?
[23:28] <bekks> jb0nd38372: Which hardware raid controller do you use?
[23:28] <bparker> define 'will not install'
[23:29] <jb0nd38372> bekks, Just the motherboard's BIOS program to configure the raid setup, the MB is an Asus M5a97 r2.0 (Chipset AMD SB9500)
[23:29] <victor_> hi everyone
[23:30] <jb0nd38372> bekks, or rather the program that loads right after the bios post (Contrl - H) enters the program
[23:30] <bparker> hi
[23:31] <victor_> so... what are people talking about here
[23:31] <compdoc> you
[23:31] <bekks> jb0nd38372: That controller is a software raid controller. You cannot use it as a hardware raid controller.
[23:31] <k1l> victor_: technical ubuntu support. we have #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat
[23:31] <jb0nd38372> bekks, so I need to destroy the raid in bios and DMRaid in ubuntu?
[23:32] <bekks> jb0nd38372: Correct.
[23:32] <victor_> okay 'linux'
[23:32] <jb0nd38372> bekks, you think i'll still see the increased performance i'm seeing now?
[23:33] <bekks> jb0nd38372: I havent used AMD chipsets for a decade, myself. I cant tell you anything about performance, just about technical facts :)
[23:33] <bekks> jb0nd38372: And that "increased performance" heavily depends on the method used for measureing.
[23:34] <jb0nd38372> bekks, well thank you anyway. My primary reason is for the speed increase more than having the space consolidated. I guess the only way to tell is to do it. Can you recommend any good disk benchmarking software I can test with?
[23:36] <bekks> jb0nd38372: I recommend a strong knowledge on how disk benchmarks works, for using and interpreting dd, iostat, bonnie, bonnie++, vdbench, iometer, and all the other tools out there.
[23:37] <bbbbb> does anybody have any experience using nautilus-actions-config-tool ? i'm trying to add a shortcut that adds and plays a song with no luck yet
[23:37] <bekks> jb0nd38372: Basically: there is no single benchmark that can be "just used" and will return valuable results.
[23:37] <victor_> no no single idea
[23:38] <bekks> victor_: single idea on what?
[23:38] <kaste> Hi I am trying to develop something with ncursesw and while I have all the libraries and headers I don't seem to have manpages. What am I doing wrong? I can't find a package that contains the man pages.
[23:44] <kaste> nvm I found it
[23:45] <welly> I bet there is something weird about this bloody cpanel that is causing this. It keeps creating a public_html, public_html/cgi-bin folder
[23:46] <bbbbb> welly: if you dont use su - it will work
[23:46] <bbbbb> it's probably cause it's using a login shell it's running some scripts
[23:46] <welly> ah right
[23:46] <welly> yeah
[23:46] <NForystek> anybody know the update resource location line for the older version 3 of MonoDevelop for Ubuntu software packages?  I found it originally at http://www.monodevelop.com/ originally, in a browser it was just a graphic for the whole page, nothing else...
[23:46] <welly> probably
[23:46] <NForystek> plz msg me
[23:46] <welly> stupid cpanel
[23:47] <NForystek> no I'm seriouz, originally
[23:49] <NForystek> I achieved photographic equality in namespaces controls and forms in a start new project template for .NET framework 2.0 and SharpDevelop in XP and Xubuntu
[23:50] <NForystek> it's sharpdevelop that requires .NET framework 4.0, but I could just drop it over and open it and compile it the same vs versa..
[23:51] <NForystek> oh, and it didn't require command lines to get it as a icon to install from the software package browser, I'm not huge in linux
[23:52] <Jordan_U> jb0nd38372: 1: While you *can* install Ubuntu on top of FakeRAID, I agree with bekks in that you shouldn't. Both FakeRAID and linux software RAID use the CPU to handle the RAID (your "RAID hardware" doesn't have any CPU or memory, just BIOS option ROMS that only run at boot, hence the "Fake" in FakeRAID). Linux's software RAID formats are Free, and many more people have worked on their performance and stability than any ...
[23:52] <k1l> NForystek: i still dont know what you need help with for ubuntu now exactly
[23:52] <Jordan_U> ... FakeRAID code. So I would expect linux software RAID to outperform FakeRAID, in speed and stability.
[23:52] <jb0nd38372> bekks, Have you ever used HD Tune for Windows?
[23:53] <NForystek> It is a a line where you go to the software updater, you can put it in as a resource to get packages... this one specifically had a v3 of MonoDevelop
[23:53] <k1l> NForystek: so you look for a PPA for monodevelop?
[23:53] <NForystek> what's a PPA?
[23:54] <k1l> a 3rd party repository maintained by not-ubuntu to provide other packages or other package versions than the official ubuntu ones
[23:55] <k1l> NForystek: so you want monodevelop version 3 for ubuntu? for what ubuntu?
[23:55] <NForystek> yes that would be correct, and this one wasn't setup by Monodevelop.com I don't think, they linked it.. and it just put the icon to get it right in.. I can't get the MonoDevelop.com site instructions to work for any version..
[23:56] <k1l> NForystek: you are confusing me again. what do you want?
[23:56] <k1l> you want an icon?
[23:56] <fiatjaf> hello. I need some help.
[23:56] <fiatjaf> I can't download anything from archive.ubuntu.com (nor us.archive.ubuntu.com nor br.archive. ubuntu.com). I can access these servers through the browser, but my traceroutes timeout. what is happening?
[23:56] <fiatjaf> traceroute: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9826706/
[23:57] <k1l> fiatjaf: do you use a proxy or vpn in the browser?
[23:57] <fiatjaf> k11: no, nothing
[23:57] <jb0nd38372> Jordan_U, If I don't run raid, do you have any ideas on how i might increase i/o access? on a single SSD? From what I've gathered, single drive bootup on Win7 is 22 seconds (from the time you see the initial Windows logo) running under the bios fake raid  it gets cut down to 16 seconds. I'm not doing anything that demands a 6 second increase in speed, I just like squeezing all the performance I can out of my hardware safely.
[23:58] <NForystek> I spent a day making a project between my sharpdevelop on XP and monodevelop on Xubuntu and got them to work and load in each other flawless, for a .NET 2.0 project whcih I like most because VS.net 2015 is massive stuff.. specially when I like XP better, more slap stick easy..
[23:58] <fiatjaf> I'm in brazil, but see traceroute for br.archive.ubuntu.com: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9826755/
[23:59] <NForystek> but it was like this 4th party pimp where the resource in a browser was just a full page image..
[23:59] <fiatjaf> traceroute to fr.archive.ubuntu.com: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9826762/
