[00:45] Or will end of support for it be years away? [00:45] !14.10 [00:45] Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.10 - Read the release notes at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseNotes [00:45] Ryan__: it ends 9 month after it was released [00:46] no, 9 months from October [00:46] Why is it only 9 months? [00:46] because it's not an LTS release. [00:46] get 14.04.1 to stay supported until 2019. [00:46] I see, should I use 14.04 then to avoid having to upgrade? [00:46] Okay, will do [00:46] this is all detailed on the website, Ryan__ [00:46] daftykins: I saw that on the site but wasn't sure if I was believing it correctly [00:47] Ryan__: if you install 14.10 you will need to upgrade all 6 months to until you are at 16.04. [00:47] every 6 months you mean? [00:48] every 6 months there is a new ubuntu version. they got 9 months support but after the 9 months are gone you already spoiled 3 months from the next release. so its only 6 months left, etc.... tl;dr: upgrade all 6 months when you dont stick to the LTS === THELARD is now known as KINGTURTLE [00:49] Ah I see, k ty [00:52] it's true that the correct english is 'upgrade every 6 months' though ;) [00:52] * k1l will try to keep that in mind :) [00:55] how do I upgrade openssl 1.0.1f to openssl 1.0.1g+ in ubuntu 12.04? [00:55] is my only option to build from source? [00:56] or wait.. ;) [00:56] blitz: why you want to do that? [00:56] we're way past g, and this is causing things to fail so that's not an option [00:57] because there's apparently a bug in 1.0.1f that causes TLS renegotiation to failover to SSLv3 [00:57] did you file a bug? [00:57] it's filed [00:57] I'm talking to openssl people now brb [00:58] !info openssl precise [00:58] openssl (source: openssl): Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary and related cryptographic tools.

[01:20] kulelu88: you can use pip command too, but why? [01:21] Stanley00: I built python 2.7.9 onto my machine and I'd like to build pip too. I am worried that using the apt-get install version won't be compatible with 2.7.9 [01:21] kulelu88: what's your ubuntu version?

[01:24] Stanley00: The ubuntu image of Docker didn't come with Python, so I don't think I broke any system stuff [01:25] does anyone know how to enable php5 with apache on ubuntu?

[01:27] it's enabled [01:27] kulelu88: hmm... my point here is if you don't need anything special in python 2.7.9, install it from repos is always better. [01:27] why did you ask how to enable it then? :) [01:27] I only need it for some small things [01:27] heh because it does not work as usual [01:27] sudo a2enmod php5 [01:27] I think o_o [01:27] it shows the php source in the browser :-) [01:27] this is really lame that issue has been there for more than 10 years now [01:28] Stanley00: What about all the possible security issues between 2.7.6 and 2.7.9 ? [01:29] kulelu88: I think bugs will be backport to 2.7.5, that's why we have 2.7.5-ubuntu3 there ;) [01:29] Stanley00: Is that how it works? bugs are backported? [01:29] kulelu88: AFAIK, yes. [01:30] I never knew this :-/ [01:30] It got me wondering how OSes stay safe if there are bugs but they work on the old versions [01:31] where can i find the +mac version of ubuntu with unity 8 === D-A-N_ is now known as Xenos [01:33] kulelu88: so, now you can happily install python 2.7.5 and stay safe until 2019?

[01:34] S_P_D: maybe in daily live image of ubuntu? [01:35] kulelu88: I don't know, but 14.04 will be supported until 2019, so you can have all security update until then :3 [01:35] but they block my acc and require me fax them billing information [01:35] !offtopic | l3x1 [01:35] l3x1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:39] because only released software is on topic in here [01:39] S_P_D: A better work around for Apple's broken firmware was found that can be used for the primary images. (The work around for the +mac images was to remove UEFI support from the image). [01:39] S_P_D: for unity 8, I think you should ask in #ubuntu+1 maybe :3 [01:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacPro The regular 64-bit Ubuntu CDs have trouble booting on older Intel Macs, such as MacPro1,1, due to EFI incompatibilities. You must download a special +mac CD of Ubuntu to work-around this problem [01:40] Try an older ubuntu version maybe? S_P_D [01:41] old mac pro, as in PowerPC?

[02:41] The_Tick: You can remove the read permission from a directory (o-r) and it will stop a directory being listable, but can still be changed into. There is a reasonable chance that will break things though, I wouldn't recommend it. Also the contents of / are very predictable so you wouldn't really be doing much, someone can just guess all the common names and list them instead [02:42] The_Tick: (its important to keep the execute permission on a directory, as that is what lets someone change into it, even if they can't list it) [02:42] The_Tick: also no idea if the / node is spceial in any way here.. in any case, i would try it on a junk system/VM first :P [02:42] ya I was trying to figure out what this user did [02:42] ah [02:42] well in that case likely they did chmod o-r / [02:42] Figured asking it that way would make it easier to reverse it [02:42] ls -lad / [02:42] will show you the perms [02:42] so chmod o+r / sounds good [02:42] drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 4096 Dec 29 07:49 / [02:42] ah nice [02:43] Has anyone had any problems loading ubuntu from USB on a laptop with nvidia and getting a split screen?

I installed Ubuntu Server on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 but it won't boot into the OS, any ideas? [02:50] Telendrith, how many drives? [02:50] hey my /tmp directory keeps filling up [02:51] compdoc: Just two, in a raid 1 setup [02:51] crazyhorse18: with what? [02:51] Telendrith: where does it stop booting? [02:52] i'm not sure i ran a diskanalyser on it.. and it says 4.1kb [02:52] After the F/W Initilization and remote access setup. Just stalls. [02:52] tmpfs 1.0G 1.0G 0 100% /tmp << but that is df -h [02:53] you only have a 1 gb tmp? [02:53] that seems tiny to me [02:53] crazyhorse18: what's result of "sudo du -sh /tmp/* | sort -h" [02:53] The_Tick: looks like he has 2G ram, and tmp mouted as tmpfs :3 [02:53] Stanley00, all 0's [02:53] Stanley00: ya I'd agree [02:53] 5 directorys, all 0 [02:53] crazyhorse18: du -sh /tmp [02:54] guess he needs a sudo ont aht [02:54] 4.0k /tmp [02:54] crazyhorse18: hmm... looks like some file is deleted while still being used... [02:54] Is there any way I can see what process is forking a lot? [02:54] crazyhorse18: can you reboot this machine? [02:54] now. i have written a program that sha1's every single file on the computer.. and its probably whats cuasing it [02:54] yeah i can reboot it, but i'd like to fix the problem [02:55] sudo du -x --all --max-depth=1 / | sort -n [02:55] Ericjohn [02:55] paste the output to a paste service, pastie is fine [02:55] crazyhorse18: reboot can fix it, and rewrite your prog too :P [02:55] unless there's a pastebot here [02:55] Stanley00, all it does is iterate through the files [02:55] people actually want to reboot linux?

HOWEVER, it says that I can address the GPIO pins by simply deferencing "virtual file system" can someone explain how that is possible? (i.e: /sys/devices/virtual/misc/gpio/mode/) [03:00] I was told in anothre channel that it is done by the kernel.. so does that mean the functionality of that "address" is added in by the board developer inside the installation file/iso ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:13] @could somebody tell me what is this app for? [03:14] jerome: ubuntu support [03:14] sorry Im new, So regarding Window managers, do they change the setup of the desktop and how you interact with it? [03:14] blackrain: they have different WIMP interfaces - how the WIndows, Icons, Mouse and Pointers work [03:15] http://i.imgur.com/VxjmGpE.png, This is the kind of display im after, I want to know if I can get as close to this as possible [03:15] somslp thank u [03:15] *menus not mouse. [03:15] I talked to the person who had this, and he is using DZEN, and Herbstluftwm [03:15] will those implement the graphical changes as well as the functional changes? [03:16] Ideally I would only have that top status bar [03:16] blackrain: dzen will give you the tiled windows, and other packages may give you what else you want. It might be built into dzen. Maybe talk more to the same person [03:17] blackrain: no, sorry. I though dzen was a WM but it's not. The screenshot there could be one of a few, like xmonad, dwm or wmii. [03:18] I am sure the tiling windowm anager is Herbstluftwm [03:18] Im after the desktop environment more than the functionality at this stage [03:18] 这里有人懂中文吗？ [03:18] blackrain: it appears to be a WM. So what is your real question here? [03:18] !zh | jerome [03:18] jerome: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [03:19] Do you have any recommendations for removing the side taskbar, and getting a terminal run desktop as shown in the screen shot [03:19] also a side question, do tou recognize that music player in the screenshot as well? Thanks again for the help [03:19] blackrain: what side taskbar? You mean in unity? You've answered this question yourself when you said it was herbstluftwm [03:20] hello everybody [03:20] yes the unity taskbar, I havent ever installed a windowsmanager [03:20] I wanted to know if window managers remove taskbars and change the desktop enronment that drastically [03:21] Besides /home, what else would be prudent to factor out to separate partitions (to ease backups, mitigate runaway filling up the root fs, etc)? [03:21] blackrain: unity is the default wm. If you install another wm, it will be different. Like screenshots of herbstluftwm show [03:21] blackrain: Unity is a window manager. If you use a different Windo manager, you will lose Unity. And its panel. [03:21] keviv: Server ? [03:21] Bashing-om: desktop [03:22] Ah! i see! thank you so much, I didnt know that Unity was a wm, that solves everything [03:22] keviv: it's a quesiton with a myriad of answers all of which are right, wrong, and start holy wars. [03:22] Oh boy [03:22] !partitioning | keviv [03:22] keviv: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [03:22] Ooh thanks [03:22] keviv: Generally with the desk top. I know of no good reasons other than a seperate /home . [03:23] keviv: but it is really as thick as you want to slice it. [03:23] "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" - help plos [03:23] somsip: 404 not found :? [03:23] i think that i will eat my monitors [03:23] keviv: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes (must be a dead factoid) [03:23] Ah that's better [03:24] Bashing-om: so not even /usr? [03:25] Wait I thought swaps were supposed to match in size the amount of memory you have. They say 2 GB. [03:26] keviv: old rule was 2xRAM which still applies for suspend and hibernate IIRC. But if you have tons of RAM which is more common nowadays, you might not been twice as much swap [03:27] somsip: only 8 GB, but I can't really see myself even using that much ever, but 16 GB off the 1 TB hdd won't kill it [03:27] keviv: I do run a seperate /var on my -now- desktop install . even that is not needed - A seperate /home can be a good thing . // For a desktop a consolidated system makes better use of disk space, and where applications expect to find defaults . [03:28] keviv: when I had 8GB I had 8GB swap and didnt use it from what I noticed. But now I have 16GB and not that less than 8GB is spare, so maybe it was used. I don't think it's hassle to create swap for the same reaosns as you just said, but some will argue it is unecessary with high amounts of RAM [03:28] *note [03:29] Eh, I'll just shrink it if I ever need the space [03:30] thanks somsip and Bashing-om [03:30] And ubottu even ;) [03:31] keviv: :-) , keep it simple and change as required . [03:33] I'm actually pretty glad I can keep this down to 5 partitions (also have win installed) [03:35] keviv: IF a greater number of partitons is a factor, consider GPT partitioning (128 primary partitions) . And as well the 4096 block size makes for a faster system if crunching numbers. [03:37] Bashing-om: iirc it is gpt, because my OEM (HP) originally had 7 partitions (+2 unallocated partitions) :/ [03:39] s [03:39] hello? [03:39] keviv: Maybe yes, maybe not so yes, as one of those primary partitions may be an 'extended' partition as a "container" for 'logical' partitions . to see -> sudo part -l . [03:39] I need some support about battery on my lenovo G500, just changed from windows to ubuntu [03:39] Bashing-om: oh sorry I mean they were all primary, or at least that's what gparted showed me at the time [03:40] Can someone help me ? I need some support about battery on my lenovo G500, just changed from windows to ubuntu [03:40] keviv: Yepper, I agree, 7 primary partitions is a GPT disk . [03:41] Can someone help me ?

I started using ubuntu yesterday, on windows I had lenovo energy managment and I set the battery to charge up to 60% ... is there a way to set the battery to charge to 100% without switching back to windows. [03:46] luka_: have a full read of this. It might apply but I'm not sure http://askubuntu.com/questions/34452/how-can-i-limit-battery-charging-to-80-capacity [03:47] I will try the solution provided there, thank you very much [03:49] did not go so well ...

I didn't realize that you meant sudo parted -l actually TELLS you what table your drive uses :D [04:07] Im so nervous to replace windows right now cuz if i mess up it doesnt seem like many ppl are here to bail me out heh [04:08] Lesliecho, they won't be [04:08] Lesliecho, you should probably stick with windows or maybe dual boot [04:09] They were more active earlier in the day but i had to download the iso [04:09] windows isn't that bad, just use free and open source apps on windows [04:10] Lesliecho: in addition to what i0d9i20 said, once you use it enough, you'll grow more confident with it, to the point where you can really weigh your options [04:10] Instead of relying on one because it's familiar, they'll both be familiar eventually [04:10] or start with the liveCD/USB for a while [04:11] They said earlier because i just browse the web and watch movies that i should switch [04:11] Lesliecho, why do you want to switch, because you can do what on any operating system heh [04:12] but with linux you worry less about viruses and stuff [04:12] well because windows is scary and not free [04:12] Lesliecho: it's free for you isn't it? [04:12] but if you have it on your computer you probably already paid for it [04:12] (Or don't need to ;) [04:13] Ya i paid for this versionof windows but its still scary lol [04:14] if i was confortable with ubuntu i would probably set up a dual boot, because microsoft office comes in handy, can you can install a lot of windows apps and games [04:15] ^ [04:15] what about onedrive? [04:15] that basically covers all your office needs doesn't it? [04:15] i0d9i20: you can use playonlinux and office online ubuntu apps [04:15] My disk is only 80gb and windows is taking 65 i cant really dual [04:15] 80gb? [04:16] Lesliecho: netbook? [04:16] how old is that thing? [04:16] Its a solid state or something i donno [04:16] Ahh [04:16] Lesliecho: install ubuntu 14.04 single on your ssd, you will be pleased [04:16] lotuspsychje, yeah you can, i had microsoft office on both wine and virtualbox but liinux updates broke those programs for me thus i found it easier just to have windows on dual boot [04:17] i0d9i20: checkout the article on omgubuntu for office web apps for ubuntu [04:17] Lotus should i do the encryption thing with the install or just do it later? [04:18] Im literally at the install screen lol im webchat on my phone [04:18] Lesliecho: if you want encrypted /home choose at your setup [04:18] Lesliecho: needless to say (yet I'll still say it), whatever you do, make sure to make a full backup [04:18] Lesliecho: but as regular user i would not reccomend encryption [04:19] If nothing else, at least backup C:\Users\ [04:19] Lesliecho, there is a command line way to recover your encrypted ubuntu, but it takes a bit of a learning curve, the Grub tends to mess up on my at times === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [04:20] Lesliecho: the safest way to keep data in my opinion is on usb and burried under the ground [04:20] Okay and does lvm option matter then? [04:20] Lesliecho: i would choose regular install [04:21] * keviv really wishes gparted knew how to "move" 20 GiB of empty space [04:26] lotuspsychje, interesting, but i'm not a fan of cloud competing i value my personal privacy more [04:26] computing* [04:26] i0d9i20: dont like cloud neither :p [04:32] hello [04:33] r u thr [04:50] lotuspsychje: safest way to keep data. Is tell no one then kill self [04:56] hola [04:56] alguien me lee? [04:56] hola?

[05:09] I wonder what words it picks up on [05:09] lowryder: no, I'm a person who saw the user say they speak English and I triggered the bot with !es [05:09] oh, somsip called it [05:09] s/English/Spanish [05:09] I was tremendously impressed for a moment. Now I'm only slightly impressed [05:10] lowryder: I try to be slightly less than impressive. It gives me a lower standard to live up to [05:10] somsip: words for us all to live by [05:10] lowryder: only kidding. I'm great really. Andway...OT [05:13] does anybody know how I can get flash working in chromium? [05:14] NoticeMeSenpai: did you work through this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash [05:14] NoticeMeSenpai: install flash for Firefox and it will work in chromium [05:15] NoticeMeSenpai: or use chrome. It has its own flash and its newer version of flash. [05:15] pepperflash? [05:15] or just use firefox heh [05:15] NoticeMeSenpai: yes [05:15] hickuper, i'd love to but it wasnt in the software centre [05:17] NoticeMeSenpai: go to chrome web site and download the ubuntu deb x64 or x86 version you need. [05:17] NoticeMeSenpai: *if* you want to install Chrome, the PPA is useful [05:17] doesn't chromium have its own (sufficiently new) version of Flash? [05:18] sveta: pepperflash [05:18] NoticeMeSenpai: just go to the website. No ppa is needed. [05:18] I don't see a need to install Google Chrome in this case -- move from "chromium" to "chrome" does not look justified. [05:19] sveta: chromium is open-source so it could not have flash. It uses the same older version flash firefox uses. [05:19] i dont know this is my first time using ubuntu and i just wanna look at some twitch before i sleep :/ [05:20] We should not use closed source flash, if the opensource version works. Where Flash is needed, an attempt should be made to install the opensource version first. [05:20] "install flash for Firefox and it will work in chromium" looks like good advice to me. [05:20] so i should do the pepper instead? [05:20] Would try installing browser-plugin-gnash. [05:21] NoticeMeSenpai: you can use pepper in chromium, or install chrome, or install firefox and flashlplugin. All your choice. Or gnash, as sveta has just said [05:21] NoticeMeSenpai: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html [05:21] so many choices [05:21] what you really want to do is install internet explorer under wine :P [05:21] Flash from Adobe is closed source. Pepperflash is closed source also. Try GNash first. [05:21] NoticeMeSenpai: you will find this as you are new to ubuntu. You soon find out which way is your way [05:22] There is indeed a lot of choice; I apologize, many people in this room and they do not have clear single preference. [05:23] NoticeMeSenpai: they are confusing you. The easiest thing to do is go to that web page and install chrome. Your new and trust me it's easy. [05:23] What hickuper suggested is to install software outside of package manager. This is not supported here, surely? [05:23] !find pepperflash [05:23] Found: pepperflashplugin-nonfree [05:23] NoticeMeSenpai: I'd go with what hickuper said until you find your way. Chrome is fine in itself [05:23] !info pepperflashplugin-nonfree | NoticeMeSenpai install this [05:23] NoticeMeSenpai install this: pepperflashplugin-nonfree (source: pepperflashplugin-nonfree): Pepper Flash Player - browser plugin.

[05:23] sveta: some ops say PPAs are not supported here, others say we support what users are prepared to give advice on. [05:24] sveta: gnash is a poor suggestion [05:24] ? [05:24] sveta: no, we give him alternatives and he follows up the advice he thinks is best [05:24] sveta: it will place a repository on software sources. Your recommending PPA and confusing issues for a new person. [05:24] I am not recommending a ppa. [05:25] I recommended the PPA. In retrospect, not so helpful for a newbie [05:25] sveta: the chrome download will automatically install chrome repository on his sources. Not a hacked PPA. [05:26] NoticeMeSenpai: my last word on this as it's deteriorating. If you want to play flash and you're okay with chrome, here are instructions http://tecadmin.net/install-google-chrome-in-ubuntu/ [05:26] I am not recommending a ppa at all. I am recommending a /package/. [05:27] somsip: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html [05:27] My last word somsip [05:28] okay thank you [05:34] sveta: you were talking over me so was somsip [05:39] each time I unhook my hdmi monitor and plug it back in tty7 is black but I can still see login screen on tty1-6 [05:39] using ctrl+alt+{1-6} [05:40] does my Xorg crash when I unplug my hdmi? [05:40] DJJeff: anything in your .xsession-errors? Though is X running if you're only using TTY? [05:41] DJJeff: hdmi hot plug. Not sure it works. [05:41] I have rebooted since the problem so my logs might be empty [05:41] DJJeff: maybe best to reproduce and look for errors then [05:41] seems to be the only solution is to reboot and loose my session [05:42] DJJeff: setup dual monitor so it's always active. [05:42] and im guessing if i want to play minecraft i want openjdk? [05:42] NoticeMeSenpai: you need a JDK. I found openjdk worked fine, though IIRC minecraft website suggested there may be issues [05:42] DJJeff: mirror dual monitor. [05:43] hmm [05:45] I will save and close what I am working on join freenode on my laptop and look for this errors file [05:46] DJJeff: just a suggestion with you asking if it crashed Xorg. No idea if it will be the case [05:49] a funny I found yesterday is that if I stop network-manager and try to sudo it says "Unable to resolve host: {my hostname}" [05:49] Hi can anyone help me on this.I am trying to execute this command "mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN " but it is saying missing operand?? [05:49] ame: what is the output of 'echo $FOAM_RUN' [05:50] ame: does $FOAM_RUN have anything in it? [05:50] try to echo it [05:50] also quote every expansion [05:50] no it is showing empty if i echo [05:50] ame: yeah, mkdir will do that with no params [05:51] DJJeff:what does this command says?? [05:51] ame: $FOAM_RUN should contain something like '/usr/local/package' so that mkdir can create those directories. It's empty, so mkdir complains [05:52] somsip:What should i do now?? [05:52] ame: what are you trying to run or install? [05:52] http://www.openfoam.org/download/ubuntu.php At this installation am getting error [05:52] somsip:OpenFoam [05:53] ame: type ". /opt/openfoam231/etc/bashrc" then try the mkdir again [05:54] somsip:where to type this in bashrc or terminal?? [05:54] ame: terminal. Did you do any of the steps under User Configuration on that page? [05:54] somsip:no not yet [05:54] I do not see an mkdir step at that page. It adds a new source and installs a package from apt. [05:54] ame: so you're running later commands before doing the setup properly. And my patience evaporates like mist on a hot day... [05:55] somsip:still stuck in that step...But i got icFoam -help till successfully [05:55] sveta: it is near the bottom [05:55] it is installed already? ah. [05:55] sveta: under Getting Started, after the User Configuration which he's not done from what he's said [05:55] somsip:sorry i have configured till user configuration [05:56] open a new terminal window and try there - it needs to set a new env variable apparently (and that's probably not yet set in terminal windows you opened before the install, dunno). [05:56] right. it has the user config step which has to be done before getting started. [05:57] > "Open a **new** terminal window (see Note 2) ... ( If a user wishes to execute icoFoam in the same terminal window, they must first register the change to the .bashrc file by typing at the terminal prompt (note the dots): source $HOME/.bashrc)" [05:57] ame: --^ [05:57] hello [05:58] sveta:hi [05:58] hi. [05:58] hello ghosty [05:58] have a problem with any live version running wit nvidia [05:58] on compaq presario [05:58] sveta:wat should i do now??I have configured till user configuration and getting the output for icoFoam -help without any problem [05:59] any reason as to why it doesnt load the login screen or just hangs during live installion ? [05:59] ame: I would open a new terminal window and try the mkdir line there. [05:59] ame: why do you say "till"? did you edit your bashrc or not? I don't understand you. [06:00] sveta:ya i edited the bashrc file but i am confused that i need to add a dot before that?? [06:00] is it common for linux and nvidia not to get aong ? [06:00] along* [06:00] you want the bashrc file to be pasted anywhere?? [06:00] ghosty: not really no [06:00] ghosty: does the laptiop use optimus? [06:01] !optimus | ghosty [06:01] ghosty: The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ [06:01] ive tired many differnt live cds even wubi but after it boots it just goes black sometimes with a blink underscore at the top [06:01] a presario isn't a laptop, i don't think [06:01] isn't it? my bad [06:01] ame: add "source /opt/openfoam231/etc/bashrc" to the end of your ~/.bashrc file. yes, the file name contains a dot. [06:01] !nomodeset | ghosty use this [06:01] ghosty use this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[06:03] thanks sveta tried #ubuntumobile and it was empty [06:03] welcome. [06:03] nivida cuda is a platform built for amdx64 which is in my desktop computer [06:03] sveta:i have add the line in ~/.bashrc but when i am trying to open terminal i got a message on the top of the terminal line "bash: /opt/openfoam231/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory" [06:04] ame: good catch. what does « file /opt/openfoam* » say? [06:04] sveta:/opt/openfoam221: directory [06:06] ame: run apt-get update and apt-get install openfoam. does it say that you have the latest package? (they mean to say that they're shipping version 231 now. (what Ubuntu version are you on?)) [06:06] that is a great page you sent me too on installing the drivers but i cannot even get into the installer to do that [06:07] ghosty: I'm not sure how relevant it is, but it suggest that there is a special thing about cuda and ubuntu [06:07] sveta:i found the mistake i done...its because of the entry in bashrc as like in the website but i have installed a different version...Now i changed its working [06:07] ghosty: you can set 'nomodeset' before booting. [06:08] alright ill figure it out thank you all [06:08] ame: yeah, you got it: these two versions have to match -- I am glad it's working now. (I suspect that version 221 is unmaintained by now.) [06:08] sveta:oh [06:09] ame: as we may see, 231 is the latest stable release. [06:11] ame: if you're unable to obtain 231, use 221 -- they do not cite security breaches or it being EOL per se. (Learning the new version would help you avoid having to re-learn it and convert files later on.) [06:12] sveta:ok finally igot everything running except the last command parafoam....If i give parafoam it is saying error "FATAL ERROR: ParaView reader module libraries do not exist Please build the reader module before continuing: cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers ./Allwclean ./Allwmake" [06:13] ame: it suggests you to run the 3 commands ("cd $FOAM_UTILITIES/postProcessing/graphics/PV3Readers", then "./Allwclean", and then "./Allwmake") from what I can see. [06:13] ame: is the "paraview" package installed? it'd probably work too; I'm not sure whether it is the same as the "paraview reader" they are looking for.

[07:06] good morning === Yukitteru is now known as Dhs92 === cataclysm is now known as jonzzz [07:34] Morning === markelite is now known as markstar === Dhs92 is now known as Yukitteru [07:56] Hello, what do you prefer for Ubuntu virtual host, x32 or x64? [07:57] Sorry, i wanted to ask, what do you prefer for guest on Virtualbox. ubuntu x32 or x64 [07:59] kubanc, perhaps x32 for guests with less than 4GB RAM and x64 for guests with more than 4GB. [08:00] KVMtester, so it would only depend of the size of RAM and nothing else? [08:00] kubanc: as KVMtester said that's my main decision, however PAE kernels can see upto 64GB, but a single process cannot consume more than the 4GB limit.. [08:01] kubanc, x64 as a guest should in theory be slightly faster but this is difficult to test in practice for normal apps. [08:02] can you install ubuntu on a chromebook? [08:03] kubanc: unless cost is a factor - generally I go 64bit less hassle [08:04] i0d9i20: in theory, yes [08:05] somsip, what do you mean in theory? [08:05] i0d9i20: yes you can, but it might not be possible or might not work fully for all hardware [08:05] oh that suchs [08:06] i0d9i20: you might want to try a live cd - boot off it and see if you can see your chromebooks disk, network, video etc - then you'll know a bit more to make an informed decision to give it a go [08:07] i0d9i20, This may also help you later on - Run Full Linux Apps Inside A Chrome OS Window http://www.techworm.net/2015/01/run-full-linux-apps-inside-chrome-os-window.html [08:07] i0d9i20: and as this needs more research, you will find loads of guides and information if you do search for 'ubuntu on chromebook' [08:08] i0d9i20, also Chromebooks can now run Linux inside a window: http://lifehac.kr/FJlw3Bo [08:09] i don't have a chromebook, but was going to buy one if i can install ubuntu on it [08:10] i0d9i20: then you can pick one that is very compatible [08:11] i0d9i20: something like this might help you https://github.com/eyecreate/ubuntu-chromebook-installer [08:12] does anyone use chromium? I copied my Default profile in .config [08:12] and tried chromium-browser --user-data-dir=/path/to/new/default [08:12] but it doesn't have the same extensions or anything [08:16] i0d9i20: If you want to run a normal OS, don't buy a Chromebook. [08:16] Buy a Chromebook if all you want is Chrome. [08:16] You're going to run into issues regardless, and these devices are not supported in this channel since they can't run actual Ubuntu. [08:17] They can only run modified derivatives prepared for them, and those aren't supported. [08:17] i0d9i20, perhaps you can run virtual chrome on an ubuntu machine [08:18] What's the point of that? ChromeOS is literally just the Chrome browser [08:18] There's no point in running it in a VM [08:19] theadmin, wait, what? so a "chromebook" is merely a fancied up browser + apps? [08:19] cfhowlett: Yes. [08:19] theadmin, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit.. pass. [08:19] cfhowlett: It runs on a Gentoo base. All Linux "installers" set up chroot environments of some sort [08:20] Can't even boot to another OS, that thing [08:20] Secure boot and all [08:20] theadmin, wow. limited capability but I suppose it fills a niche. [08:20] theadmin, I think I'll just wait for the 2015 dell developer edition instead. [08:24] cfhowlett: Well, yeah probably. Chromebooks are... pointless, if you ask me, any regular computer can do what they can since anyone can run Chrome/Chromium [08:25] theadmin: then chromebooks are not for you, but yeah i don't see chromebooks being more than a niche product === soee_ is now known as soee === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [08:32] I know what you guys are saying and in the case of Chromebooks things are more restricted and controlled like the thin clients of the past. However, Chrome OS itself is more than just a browser after all CoreOS is based on Chrome OS. [08:33] KVMtester: Well, generally speaking, it's a browser, a few limited command-line utilities, NetworkManager and a few other things, but the whole user experience consists of interacting with the browser anyway. [08:33] It doesn't have regular apps, you can't install Firefox or LibreOffice on ChromeOS or such [08:34] Maybe you can in some weird way, I dunno, but that's not easy [08:35] Either way that's kinda offtopic here. [08:35] Hi, i was installing some packages with "sudo apt-get install [package names]" command, after downloading packages and setting up, unpacking and installing process, system rebooted by accident , now i cannot apt-get install it again, nor apt-get -f install neither dpkg --configure -a . they give me these errors : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9831615/ [08:35] It's still an operating system under the covers. The UI is mostly a browser on Chromebooks...but a UI can be almost anything on other Chrome-like devices. [08:36] Fair enough, off topic it is. [08:36] k69: These "ceilometer" packages are giving you trouble, purge them [08:37] theadmin, ty for the reply... i try that [08:37] k69: It tries to create a new database table but the table already exists and they apparently haven't heard of the "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS" SQL command :/ [08:37] theadmin, oh alright [08:40] theadmin, um which one do i use? sudo apt-get purge [pakage] or dpkg --purge ? [08:50] coucou [08:54] Anyone familiar with UNetbootin here? I'm trying to understand the difference between using UNetbootin to build Live USB drives and using dd to burn ISOs to USB drives. Would be the compelling advantage of using UNetbootin? [08:54] What would be the compelling advantage of using UNetbootin? [08:54] you can have other files on the drive [08:55] Ben64, you mean the persistent area? [08:55] you can also make it persistent on the flash drive [08:55] no [08:55] you can still use it as a flash drive if you use unetbootin [08:56] So with UNetbootin, the flash drive would still be read/write? [08:56] right [08:56] Ben64, thanks. [09:01] hi, i cannot select any new version instead of long term in software manager [09:03] Anyone used doclone? http://doclone.nongnu.org/ [09:12] hey guys, im really stuck with this installing package problem, http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832034/ , system rebooted by accident during setting packages up, and no matter what i do, wont be fixed, what should i do after i purge them, "apt-get install", apt-get -f install", "apt-get install --reinstall" none of them works and gives the same "Errors were encountered while processing: somePackages" [09:15] Hi, for some reason cryptsetup is not included in my initramfs anymore since upgrading to trusty [09:17] yes, my old dell desktop - p3, 512 mb ram, 20 gb hd. works. I love xubuntu. [09:20] edman747, lubuntu might even be more lightweight [09:20] or you can just try LXLE [09:21] I can try to install 14.04 but windows me is taking most of the 20gb drive. [09:22] google - bootable cd with a partition manager. [09:23] make the win me part smaller and make the xubuntu part larger! [09:24] edman747, or you can try Slitaz [09:26] i0d9i20, Slitaz - never heard of it. [09:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slitaz [09:30] i0d9i20, that is very cool (good for older computers). I will try it. Thank You. [09:32] edman747, LXLE is just Lubuntu http://lxle.net/ [09:33] http://lubuntu.net/ [09:33] Interesting. Running Lubuntu on a Chromebook and it's pretty great. Might give LXLE a whirl. [09:42] Morning [09:45] hey there [09:46] I want to bind a postgresql database on 0. Any idea how to find which port is used? [09:46] Hey Darkwell [09:46] morning [09:49] I cannot install wine with software center and terminal. 3 MB remained and when i want to download it , it gives me a 404 error. [09:49] does anyone knows why ????!!!! [09:51] I got a bluetooth headset that suppoerts a2dp and it works fine to connect and play sound on this manually but as soon as you try to hook up automatically ubuntu tries to use hsp/hfp by default and it seems to give me some problems to hook the eadset up. Are there any way to set so the machine selects a2dp per default instead to avoid unnecessary probs ? [09:51] i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS [09:51] okay please forgive my ignorance, things are a bit different in ubuntu than on osx server, osx server had a separate terminal and console, which shows all the error logs grouped. if I want to look at error logs, what is the command? I seem to remember a 'tail' command [09:52] sabotender, you can hook it to any console you like... [09:52] sabotender: dmesg [09:52] dmesg or , as root less /var/log/messages [09:53] dmesg? okay! I will try it [09:54] or else if it doesnt show up there you try to peek into /var/log [09:54] that didn't seem to work [09:54] lol [09:54] sudo su [09:54] maybe I need to look at usage of dmesg [09:54] first [09:55] I'm ssh'ing into my server, I'm always su [09:55] or sudo dmesg [09:55] don't ever use sudo su [09:55] and sudo is not required for dmesg [09:55] Ben64: why not? [09:55] (as in why to never use `sudo su`) [09:55] it creates an incorrect environment [09:56] what would you suggest as alternative? `su root`? [09:56] no... "sudo -i" [09:56] sudo su works fine for me at least [09:56] but there are almost no cases where you actually need a full root shell [09:56] Darkwell: well thats nice, but please do not suggest it here [09:56] Ben64: I usually just sudo the command that I am trying to use [09:56] ok sorry then [09:56] sabotender: that is the best method [09:57] i use a completely aother command stemming from solaris === dionysus69_ is now known as dionysus69 [09:58] if you are looking for a specific output maybe : grep mypattern /var/log/* helps [09:58] where mypattern is the pattern you look for [10:00] okay, dmesg is not working for me, it keeps displaying everything that I don't need [10:00] are there a ubuntu correct way to set your own default way to hook up your headset on bluetooth ? the thing doesnt cook to mie with a2dp ,,´.. it tries telephony duplkex.. which borks my headset [10:00] i'll just nano into the error log :-P [10:01] aha : cat /var/log/messages | grep iwantthis [10:01] sabotender: what exactly are you looking for [10:01] Ben64: oh a bunch of php script errors [10:01] sabotender: so you want ... apache? logs? [10:02] ew, no apache. I use lightly, or whatever nickname they gave it :-P [10:02] /var/log/lighttpd/error.log [10:02] there you go === Guest89536 is now known as Damier === Damier is now known as Guest4212 [10:04] hello everyone [10:05] quite [10:06] Does anyone knows the answer for the following question ???? https://askubuntu.com/questions/576857/unable-to-download-wine-with-software-center-or-terminal [10:07] arshia: is that your post [10:07] Ben65: yes [10:07] arshia: can you download and install other packages? [10:07] tomodachi: Yes. [10:08] arshia: include the exact error you get in the question [10:08] arshia: did you try the apt-update as told on AskUbuntu ? [10:08] from the terminal [10:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832556/ [10:09] jbouron: Yep, unsuccessfull. [10:09] arshia: pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:09] Hi, mak i ask that when facing broken package and used purge option "sudo apt-get purge ", then what to do next? [10:09] How to install java on chroot?? [10:10] arshia: paste the output of apt-get update [10:11] Wait [10:12] I hate gnome-schedule, it doesn't run any of my tasks despite the fact that when I click "execute this task" it runs perfectly fine [10:12] tomodachi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832683/ [10:12] hi, there, does anybody know how to deal with menu blinking(redrawing) above fullscreen apps? [10:13] arshia: are you behind a proxy or vpn or need to login the internet? [10:13] k1l_: no. [10:13] arshia: ive added your stuff to your askubuntu question [10:14] arshia: seems to me your network connectio is at fault here , do you have some kind of limited internet connection on this box? [10:15] tomodachi: My connection is good. but now, it's low. [10:15] tomodachi, the second command is working. [10:15] and syslog gives no information about why it's not running [10:15] I mean : apt-get dist-upgrade [10:17] arshia: can you ftp to ftp.sunet.se see if it works [10:17] arshia: the second one requires the first [10:17] tomodachi: sketchy [10:18] Ben64: sketchy? [10:18] "here, ftp to this random address" :| [10:18] tomodachi: What do you mean??? [10:19] Ben64: I see some errors now. [10:19] 404 [10:19] Ben64:how to mount in fstab for chroot /proc?? [10:19] ame: why are you asking me [10:19] Ben64: hardly, its the swedish university ftp server / debian mirror [10:19] Hi there! Using deja-dup, is there any way to ignore *files*? deja dup always fails to backup some files as they are opened (.viminfo, cifsauth) [10:19] Ben64: also im asking him to ftp into it, not Download or run something [10:20] This in turn causes a bug where they backup and restore button stay greyed out as deja-dup thinks a backup is still runnin [10:20] Ben64:you have helped me in the morning..No one is replying..So asking you.. [10:20] ame: then have more patience :D [10:20] ok [10:21] ame: what is your qeustion? how to mount proc? [10:22] Ben64, I see errors in apt-get dist-upgrade , what can i do ??? [10:22] arshia: as i told you already, you need to complete "sudo apt-get update" [10:23] Ben64: apt-get update gives me 404 error. [10:23] pastebin [10:23] arshia: you never replied to my question, try not skipping important steps in the process of fixing your problem [10:23] as Ben64 said dist-upgrade is dependent on the first commands working so focus on those [10:23] tomodachi: I didn't got what you said. [10:23] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832683/ [10:24] im still suspecting your internet connection [10:24] arshia: thats not 404, and is that really all it returns? thats no good [10:24] and you have done nothing to prove otherwise [10:24] Ben64: Let me try the command. [10:25] tomodachi:i am here using LTSP environment.I need to install java in chroot which means chroot /opt/ltsp/amd64.But if i want to run the java in chroot i need to mount /proc using this command " mount -o bind /proc /opt/ltsp/amd64/proc" [10:26] Ben64: Is this the same ????http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832862/ [10:26] ame: isnt it mount -t proc none ? [10:26] -o bind would be used for your /dev I believe [10:26] tomadachi:its making me to mount it daily.I want to make it as permanent mount... [10:26] tomodachi: Can you explain more about ftp ???? [10:26] tomodachi:sorry i dont understand [10:27] tomadachi:Then what is this command used for? [10:27] arshia: thats not the same, very bad [10:27] arshia: run the command : ftp ftp.sunet.se [10:28] press enter twice [10:28] Ben64: What do you mean of Very Bad ??????? [10:28] tomodachi:if i give that command then java working for client or else not working [10:28] of ----> from [10:28] tomodachi: sketchy and such a weird test, ftp takes no bandwidth, its meaningless [10:28] arshia: press enter twice , type passw press enter again , then type ls and press enter [10:28] if you have any output of a filesystem type quit ,enter to quit [10:28] tomodachi: When ????? [10:29] tomodachi: what should i enter in the : Name (ftp.sunet.se:arshia): [10:29] Ben64: be constructive and stop trolling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUNET [10:29] arshia: just type enter [10:29] press enter [10:29] no password or anything required [10:30] i just want to see if ftp works trhough your internet connection or not [10:30] tomodachi: don't throw around "trolling" so easily. it is absolutely worthless as a test [10:30] Ben64: only if it works [10:30] tomodachi: It's not responding after line : 200 PORT command successful. [10:31] arshia: did you type passive [10:31] Hi all [10:31] then ls [10:31] if that works then your internet seems fine after all... [10:31] ftp has worked fine on dialup, still a worthless test [10:31] tomodachi: I typed my password in the Password: [10:32] tomodachi: Was it wrong ??? [10:32] arshia: i told you just to press enter there [10:32] it even said in the login text no password required [10:32] I have recently installed 14.10, and I have a problem that when I close the lid, the system suspends and comes back up again immediately. How can I fix that? [10:32] tomodachi: Ok , i'll try again. [10:32] arshia: no its fine , anything works [10:33] it works anyway so its not your connection [10:33] tomodachi: What do you mean ???? [10:33] but if i was you i would change my local password [10:33] since you just sent your password in cleartext over the internet. [10:34] tomodachi: Same result after enter. [10:34] tomodachi: maybe figure out an easier test next time... [10:34] Ben64: yup :) [10:34] like... "wget http://www.wswdsupport.com/testdownloadfiles/5MB.zip" [10:34] Ben64: yes but that is http [10:34] indeed it is [10:35] found that on http://askubuntu.com/questions/516509/a2dp-bluetooth-problem-on-14-04 the pactl method worked flawlessly to set the headset to work... but the bluetooth UI to toggle on/off the headset still borks things up.. [10:35] actually wget can handle ftp i think , that would be better for next time [10:35] tomodachi: I started again with what you said , but same result. [10:35] tomodachi: why does it need to be ftp??? [10:35] which channel is freenode help channel? [10:35] #freenode [10:35] Ben64: my theory was that he was behind something limiting access to internet somewhat (allowing some sites etc ) http generaly works but that kind of stuff always stops ftp [10:36] tomodachi: again, why does that matter at all [10:36] well if the firewall / dns / between him and the internet was limiting access that would explain his problem woudlnt it? [10:36] tomodachi: Why it stocks??? [10:36] but the repositories aren't ftp, so its still pointless [10:37] arshia: i dont know, my theory was not right [10:37] Hello [10:37] tomodachi: An Error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/9832987/ [10:38] Got this error when i was trying to distro-upgrade : W:Failed to fetch, 404 not found. [10:39] TheBigDeal: pastebin the output of both "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [10:39] arshia: it doesnet matter Ben64 is right, apt doesnt use ftp for its mirrors so the test is useless anyway [10:39] tomodachi: Did you see the error i sent you ??? [10:39] Ben64, dist-upgrade -d [10:39] Ben64, moments [10:40] other sources seem to indicate that its an issue of isp whatever doing redirects [10:40] and indicator of that being the problem would be the learsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?) you are getting [10:40] TheBigDeal: what are you trying to accomplish [10:40] tomodachi: What can i do now ???? [10:41] TheBigDeal: no, not -d. just "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [10:41] Ben64, dist-upgrade -d [10:41] TheBigDeal: there is no "dist-upgrade -d" [10:41] TheBigDeal: what are you trying to accomplish - as in, what is your goal [10:41] I'm on 14.10, and i want to to upgrade to 15.04 alpha 2 [10:41] TheBigDeal: that will mal your packages to the latest version of your ubuntu release. if you wan to go to the next ubuntu release do "sudo do-release-upgrade" [10:41] ah ha [10:42] Ben64, do you still want the output? [10:42] 15.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until release, and the correct command is what k1l_ said, then the "-d" [10:43] Ben64, ?, i did that [10:43] notice - "do-release-upgrade" is not the same as "dist-upgrade" [10:44] oh sorry i used do-release-upgrade [10:44] arshia: what ubuntu release are you on? [10:44] i was just kind of confused [10:46] Ben64 [10:47] tomodachi: 14.04 === sergio_ is now known as Guest58685 [10:47] hi, please help me with this problem ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/576874/broken-package-install-purge-configure-reinstall-apt-get-f-wont-work ) cant re-install broken package installation [10:48] what is 'snmp'? [10:48] and, is it required? [10:48] Ben64, there's an issue, i guess. [10:49] ? [10:49] k69 indeed a disaster to remove it - I had the same problem and removed the dependencies which are broken [10:50] arshia: have you tried changing your DNS to something else? like googles dns 8.8.8.8 [10:50] k69: dpkg --purge all packages that complain [10:51] k69: dpkg --purge remove [10:51] I need to troubleshoot my crontab, I've tried printing out syslog (nothing there really), I've tried running the cronjobs under root and yes the jobs run fine when I execute them from terminal or through gnome-schedule [10:52] javnut: is the the file cron is supposed to run executable? [10:52] ssa === miguel is now known as Guest30174 [10:52] javnut: execute the script every second and change it to write to a file in /tmp confirm the file is created [10:53] javnut: create a cron that executes every second I mean [10:53] jatt: the script is run through gnome-terminal -e '/script; bash;' [10:53] if it was running, the gnome-terminal would pop up [10:53] javnut: how does you crontab look like (pastebin) [10:53] the script also opens up a gui [10:54] o i see [10:54] * * * * * gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home/precise/Desktop/test2.3.sh; bash;'" # JOB_ID_1 [10:54] 0,30 * * * * gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home/precise/Desktop/test2.3.sh'" # JOB_ID_2 [10:54] that's the results of my crontab -l [10:54] why do you need a UI if it's a bash script [10:54] why not run the script directly [10:54] I mean the test*sh script [10:54] javnut: well that might be your issue if there is no env set, the script cannot start the gui terminal [10:54] and not run [10:55] jatt: because I need to see the output [10:55] javnut: redirect to a file [10:55] jatt, ty for the replies, did them [10:55] jatt, but didnt work [10:55] jatt: I also tried just a pure /home/precise/Desktop/test2.3.sh that also doesn't work [10:56] the first line of test2.3.sh opens up genymotion (which would be quite noticeable if it ran) [10:56] k69, it was something else, I had to remove them from a file --- I try to remember what I did [10:56] Is genymotion a gui? [10:56] javnut: again, you're not going to have a good time starting gui stuff without a proper environment [10:56] indeed [10:57] brothersome, ty for the reply, u mean /var/something/cache thing? [10:57] brothersome, the archives? [10:57] Ben64: ok, I'll try a simple script which just outputs stuff to a /tmp file and see if it's cron and not env [10:57] javnut: the odds the culprit is cron are very low [11:01] Ben64: yup, it's the env variable apparently. non-gui scripts run fine [11:01] brothersome, /var/cache/apt/archives ? [11:02] Yes, but there are also commands to do that [11:03] so what do I do to get cron to be able to open GUIS? [11:05] set DISPLAY in your script [11:07] jatt: DISPLAY=:1.0 && /path/to/script?? [11:08] :0.0 or :1.0 the one it works [11:10] k69, What does this do? dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xxxxxxxxxxxx [11:11] brothersome, put package names instead of xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ? [11:11] yes === jelly-home is now known as jelly [11:15] k69, also some in: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/problem-removing-package-500321/ [11:15] brothersome, it tole me to use "apt-get -f install" after that and after that, it gave the same error [11:15] how much MB will be needed to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04? [11:16] anyone here know? [11:16] how much MB will be needed to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04? [11:16] hold 2.5 gb RAM is that enough? [11:17] i have 4 gb ram but limited bandwidth so need to know how much MB will the upgrade be [11:17] SECZero: Ok for terminal only, maybe not enough for a GUI (depends how many programs you are running) [11:18] brothersome, thanks for the link, is it safe to remove scripts from /var/lib/dpkg/info/BrokenPackages as he did? [11:18] GAM002 ram is not related to your data traffic, upgrade will not take more than 1gb probably, you can start upgrade programme, it will show you [11:19] k69, apt-get with the flag --ignore-depends can also help - It took also some time for me to figure that out [11:20] thanks [11:20] MItt it is not showing and 1 GB will take a long time for me to download(slow internet) do you know how much MB in Exact? [11:20] the upgrade just shows downloading part 2 [11:21] hi all, I have a dual boot system. I closed the lid while booted in windows. I opened it and windows stalled at welcome screen, so i did a hard reboot and accidentally left ubuntu to boot. Ubuntu complained about not being able to mount windows system drive. I did another reboot and booted to windows, windows boots fine. Could this be something to do with windows Hibernation? [11:21] brothersome, would u plz write the wole command "apt-get --ignore-depends ..." [11:21] whole* [11:22] Is Ubuntu being clever and not touching windows whilst it is hibernating? I remember hearing something about hiberfil.sys and booting into another operating system whilst windows is hibernating being a no-no. [11:22] SECZero: As I said it depends on your usage, atm I have firefox and weechat along with some pdf open and my RAM usage is about 700-800 MB. But if you want to run GIMP, blender or something more demanding in ressources, it will be tough [11:23] GAM002, depends on how many packages you've got [11:23] jbourbon: I have an I7 with 16gb of ram and blender makes it roar :p [11:23] i got none [11:23] k69, I saw the command: dpkg --ignore-depends=fglrx --purge fglrx [11:24] i have a update of 450MB pakages [11:24] tommy_the_dragon: Yeah but SECZero have 2.5 so .... [11:24] k69, replace fglrx with your program [11:24] It's the only program I've managed to heat the room with [11:24] currently running fresh ubuintu 12.04 [11:24] tommy_the_dragon: -> watercooling .P [11:25] GAM002, upgrade will take much more memory since all packages you have are outdated [11:26] hi. I'm trying to rsync a folder called SCOA to a server "ger" which will serve them using webdav. "rsync -Prtvai SCOA ger:/srv/www/dav/" [11:26] ok [11:26] mitt thank you [11:26] but I get "rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/srv/www/dav/SCOA" failed: Permission denied (13)" [11:27] GAM002 you can download an image from ubuntu site and it will upgrade you system, it's much smoother I think, I did it once [11:27] A decent GPU would help [11:27] I've added my username makara to the www-data group, which is owner of the dav folder [11:27] I just have some onboard rubbish [11:27] why is rsync denied the ability to create that folder? [11:27] so it does cook pretty slow too [11:28] tommy_the_dragon: i7 but onboard GPU O.o [11:28] Only Free Working Booter/Stresser 2015 Here : http://youtu.be/tXppwFStFis [11:29] jbouron: it's very cool, I've got i5 with such, no driver problems, fast as puma [11:29] brothersome, nop :( [11:31] k69, An example of editing the file: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/116296-error-removing-courier-imap.html [11:31] mitt: Sure it's cool when you don't need a decent GPU, but use Blender with it ... [11:32] hola [11:32] jbouron: It's a work computer, but I just didn't realise I would be using blender when I got it. [11:32] yeah, it's definately not a good build for blender lol [11:33] A pile of graphics cards is definately on my wishlist [11:33] jbouron: for me, Blender works very fast here, I played even Crisis 3 on medium graphics when I had *cough* Windows [11:34] i've also tried with "rsync -Prtvai -e ssh --chmod=Du=rwx,Dg=rx,Do=rx,Fu=rw,Fg=r,Fo=r SCOA ger:/srv/www/dav/" as here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9177135/rsync-deploy-and-file-directories-permissions [11:35] mitt: So it's more powerful than I expected. Speaking of video Games does Wine offers good performances for gaming ? [11:36] jbouron: why use wine when you have Steam? [11:36] jbouron: I don't have Wine and I actually don't play proprietary Windows games now, but I remember things like PES2014 was flying, and Dota 2 of course was fast [11:37] n13z: why use wine when you can dual-boot? [11:37] mitt: It's rendering where you are going to want a nice GPU or 50.

(see my paste) from another computer in a near city I can traceroute normally to *.archive.ubuntu.com [12:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9826836/ [12:02] fiatjaf, I see you're running thru a vps server, maybe they're blocking/filtering [12:03] johelish: can you run 'traceroute us.archive.ubuntu.com' and paste the results? [12:03] javnut: DISPLAY=:0 should work [12:03] BluesKaj: I am not [12:03] Does anyone knows my problem ???????? [12:03] javnut: check /var/log/syslog [12:03] BluesKaj: this VPS is just running my IRC client, and from it I can traceroute and download packages normally [12:04] I had the colon in the wrong place [12:04] I hate myself [12:05] BluesKaj: my home computers are the ones having the problem, and johelish is having the same problem, it seems: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9833809/ [12:06] fiatjaf: maybe try set DNS as 8.8.8.8, turn off firewall and openssh [12:06] javnut: happens to us all ;) [12:06] bbbbb, you'd first want to call su (so the gui app isn't run as root), and would need something along the lines of 'env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/user/.Xauthority /path/to/application' [12:07] fiatjaf: can't install anything [12:09] mitt: already trying switching DNSs, and I'm currently using 8.8.8.8 [12:09] and I'm not running openssh or firewall [12:09] as I said, this is my home computer, it is behind a home router [12:09] did you see my paste? [12:10] bbbbb, e.g. /usr/bin/su myuser -c "/usr/bin/env DISPLAY=:0 XAUTHORITY=/home/myuser/.Xauthority /path/to/application" [12:10] fiatjaf: maybe everyone is having the same problem right now? [12:10] paths are not ubuntu specific ^ [12:10] johelish: do you have traceroute6 installed? [12:10] fiatjaf: you from it now, you have internet there? or some sites not loading? And what router you have? [12:10] fiatjaf: No, if I did I could've runned the traceroute [12:11] mitt: everything loading fine. including the browser/http versions of *.archive.ubuntu.com [12:12] no, johelish, from another computer I have (in another network) it is running fine. also running fine from my VPS. [12:13] mitt, BluesKaj: I also tried tracerouting to this list http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt of brazilian archive.ubuntu.com mirrors. [12:13] none of them worked. [12:14] oh.. oops, javnut ^ [12:14] fiatjaf: what is the output when you try to install the package?

[12:18] fiatjaf, the br archive traceroute shows correctly herem the last IP is 200.236.31.4 [12:18] k69, have tried from software center?

[12:23] yeah alot [12:23] python-ceilometer [12:23] mitt, ^ and more, but it get installed succesfully [12:23] k69, maybe compile what you need from the source? [12:24] mitt, how can i do that? [12:24] fiatjaf: [12:24] k69, it will show you what is missing [12:24] fiatjaf: can you wget google.com? [12:24] fiatjaf: Looks like you have a dns error? [12:24] k69, download the sources from their website and compile [12:25] mitt, oh ok thanks [12:25] k69, hope you know how to compile [12:25] mitt, nop :D ill search ?:D [12:26] for python it's like "python setup.py install", for many others "./configure && make && make install" [12:26] do not compile python libraries [12:27] do not blindly do that at all ! [12:27] that is very dangerous and bad advice [12:27] yes, of course, don't compile libraries and use latest versions of software [12:27] correct - that is very very bad advice [12:28] guys my gedit closes by itself without any warning very often, I tried to get the logs by starting it from terminal which are at : http://0bin.net/paste/ec7Kvz3kNdsAAGKS#lj14Wyja1Cg404UDWsJq+94JtGCHz+DH9uhCEwsMDqr [12:28] ikonia, he has libs, what's wrong with compiling python apps? [12:28] because blindly compiling things can cause problems on the system [12:28] telling people to blindly make && make install is the worst advice possible [12:29] javnut, dug out an old *unfinished* sh script - check verify_xuser() and xmsg() - bear in mind this was for OpenBSD (but the X stuff will be the same), http://paste.ubuntu.com/9834140/ [12:29] hi guys. which script updates /etc/apt/sources.list after installation completes?

[12:32] arun: remove what ? [12:32] BluesKaj: I'll take a look, thanks. [12:32] johelish: I don't understand anything [12:32] ikonia: I mean make ubiquity not generate it [12:32] fiatjaf: dns error [12:32] arun: why would you not want that ? [12:32] johelish: but I can access google.com in my browser [12:32] fiatjaf: what does /etc/resolv.conf say? [12:32] not kde 5 , plasma 5 and kf5 [12:33] mitt: Plasma5 will be in (default and only) 15.04 [12:33] fiatjaf: and /etc/network/interfaces ? [12:33] ikonia: cause, it updated other stuffs, I m working on live cds.. [12:33] arun: it updates other stuffs ?? what [12:33] arun: ubuiquity is used at install time [12:33] arun: what is the actual problem, you're not making any sense [12:33] nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 8.8.4.4 [12:34] I have question on build a package using debuild (Cyrus Sasl). I created a patch to Makefile.in. Imported it with quilt. This patch gets applied during start of debuild. However, it gets overwritten somewhere, and then causes trouble (undefined reference to `crypt') [12:34] auto lo iface lo inet loopback [12:34] what am i doing wrong? [12:34] fiatjaf: os this a desktop or a server ? [12:35] ikonia: the thing is that, to make you clear.. I am customizing ubuntu's iso ; I want ubiquity not to generate /etc/apt/sources.list and use the one I created before... [12:35] how much ram the fifth plasma eats? [12:35] arun: that is not ubuquity [12:35] arun: on a live media they are just a falt file on the squashfs file system [12:37] ikonia: a desktop [12:37] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1390068 [12:37] Launchpad bug 1390068 in gedit (Ubuntu) "Gedit crashes when editing a file" [Undecided,Confirmed] [12:37] does anyone know how to fix it ? [12:37] fiatjaf: then you should not be messing with the interfaces file or resolv.conf - as network manager will control that and dnsmasq is your resolver [12:38] ikonia: are u sure its not ubiquity that generates a new sources.list after installation complete? [12:38] arun: you just said it was not an installation it was live media ! [12:39] maliboy, ask in #linuxmint [12:39] arun: you first asked for an install - what generates it, I told you it was unbiquity, you then said it was live media, I told you it's static, you now say it's an install again ? [12:39] BlueShark, it is happening in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS [12:39] BluesKaj, ^ [12:39] I just pointed out the error to you [12:40] ikonia: no no, I mean I am customizing the iso.... I want ubiquity not to generate sources.list, how to do that? [12:40] arun: I'm clear what you are doing, you keep swapping between an install and live media, [12:41] ikonia: yeah [12:41] sorry, I'm not clear what you are doing [12:41] I don't want sources.list overwritted by ubquity [12:41] so I'm going to step out of the discussion [12:41] maliboy, my mistake...sorry i don't use gedit [12:41] ikonia: did u get it bro ? [12:42] ikonia: I am not [12:43] BluesKaj, ok but that is not the reply to it [12:44] fiatjaf maybe I'm miss-reading then, as it looks like you're checking the interfaces file and resolv.conf [12:44] arun: I'm stepping away from this [12:45] maliboy,` my reply to you is I don't know how to help with your yssue [12:45] err issue === aphoriser is now known as Che-Anarc [12:47] BluesKaj, not uncommon [12:48] maliboy, because I run kde desktop, very little experience with gedit [12:48] ikonia: just because I was asked to, but I'm not changing them or planning to, and I haven't edited them recently [12:49] BluesKaj, if I install KDE can I completely remove gnome ? === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [12:49] BluesKaj, is KDE stable ?

[12:50] fiatjaf: tried rebooting the system? [12:50] nothing wrong with ur config [12:50] BluesKaj, ok, thanks a lot [12:52] johelish: yes, I tried [12:52] johelish: did you manage to install packages? [12:53] maliboy, http://askubuntu.com/questions/50892/installing-kde-alongside-gnome [12:53] fiatjaf: the settings in there look wrong though, eg: your resolv.conf should not contain a dns server, it should contain 127.0.0.1 and be using dnsmasq [12:54] BluesKaj, I would do a net install [12:54] thanks [13:06] Hi all.

I've had some problems with the system but now checked the KDE-version as you suggested. The "about"-Window says "KDE Plasma Version 5.1.1", instead of "5.2".

[15:25] lucidguy, say specifically what steps you are taking and how the result differs from what you want [15:25] chrisss123456, have you done a grub-update [15:25] sfdebug: you need a ppa for that [15:26] BluesKaj: i have not. would that just be running grub-update? [15:26] sudo update-grub [15:26] chrisss123456, ^ [15:26] pbx, I've tried evince and ocular to print a PDF, select black and white or grescale. Print job always comes out in colour. My printer is setup via a PPD and I've tried the XeroxPrintManager. No luck. [15:27] if I have two filesystems, / and /home, how big should / be under 14.04? [15:27] BluesKaj: ok, so its found all the linux images, and a windows boot manager, but thats normal, and what i've currently got [15:27] as a realistic minimum [15:27] sfdebug: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/terra-drop-down-terminal-emulator-with.html [15:28] BluesKaj: but it hasnt found the other two.... [15:28] DocPlatypus: bigger than you'd think. [15:29] chrisss123456, check with gparted to see if those partitions are still valid [15:29] NoImNotNineVolt: good one. seriously, though... both share a "500 gig" hard drive along with swap. swap I'm not as worried about and /home is nowhere near full [15:29] ah, that's more than enough. [15:30] i've made my / very small before, and it bit me in the ass. [15:30] NoImNotNineVolt: right now / is 24 gigs [15:30] should be ample. [15:30] BluesKaj: both are so called "hidden, diagnostic" under flags. is that the problem? [15:30] NoImNotNineVolt: except I'm running out of room right after upgrade to 14.04. [15:30] and then you can always break /usr onto its own partition if need be [15:30] oh wow. [15:30] k1l_, i already tried it, but, on apt-get update i get: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ozcanesen/terra-terminal/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found AND W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ozcanesen/terra-terminal/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found [15:30] NoImNotNineVolt: just to get the upgrade to run, I had to uninstall libreoffice, gimp, inkscape, openarena, and a few other things [15:31] to be fair it was a great excuse to uninstall all the games I tried to run on this box but ran way too slowly to be playable [15:31] sfdebug: got no trusty packages [15:31] cd / ; du --max-depth=1 -h 2>/dev/null | sort -h [15:31] chrisss123456, certainly looks that way, hidden, diagnostic seem to be windows recovery partitions [15:31] sfdebug: so your program is quite dead. use quake instead [15:31] DocPlatypus: do that. [15:32] k1l_, did you men guake? [15:32] yes [15:33] sfdebug methinks terra terminal is no longer maintained/available [15:33] BluesKaj: oh cool :) i think we're getting somewhere. how do i fix that? [15:33] or, is that even an issue? [15:33] DocPlatypus: that should give you an idea of what your biggest space hogs are on /, then you can try to break those out onto their own partitions if you need more space on /. [15:34] chrisss123456, i think you can safely ignore those partitions if you plan on using linux more than windows [15:34] NoImNotNineVolt: I've done that... actually I do something slightly different: du -xh | sort -rh | less [15:34] -x = stay on same filesystem (otherwise it pulls in /home) and -r = largest at top [15:34] Q: Is it normal to have a bunch of [WARNING] when doing a check with rkhunter? No rootkits were detected. This always happens like a few weeks after having used Ubuntu [15:35] that's too noisy :P [15:35] BluesKaj: thats the thing... haha my windows has broken for some inexplicable reason, and i'm trying to recover it. all methods have failed, so im trying to use the recovery partition, which is nowhere to be found... [15:35] although good tip about -x :) [15:35] BluesKaj: so, i need to use the windows recovery partition [15:35] Hello [15:35] as usual, /lib is my biggest eater on /.

[15:37] i installed brightness indicator and it says 'no backlights were found on your system' [15:37] I'm also having things show up in the wrong colors in 14.04... my Chromium window bar is always gray now, not blue [15:37] BluesKaj: i remember having this problem with the windows boot manager itself, and someone else on this board was kind enough to help me [15:37] but i forgot :( [15:38] anyone know how to fix? [15:38] lordjancso: immediately after boot, run `ps aux` [15:38] steven__: rkhunter is not a "virus scanner" but a "what has changed scanner". rkhunter needs a lot more work and knowledge than the "antivirus programs on windows" but is way more efficient if you can use it [15:38] erichf apt-cache show ruby shows: Depends: ruby1.9.1 (>= 1.9.3.194-1) [15:38] NoImNotNineVolt and how can i add a program to start automatically? [15:38] steven__, normal. warnings do not equal rootkit found [15:38] chrisss123456, did you partiton for linux when installing ubuntu? [15:38] So anything I will update will get flagged with a warning because it has changed? [15:39] lordjancso: that's a much more complicated question. [15:39] lordjancso: create an upstart script for it. [15:39] Okay. Thanks. [15:39] BluesKaj: My partitions are admittedly kinda stupid.... i initially put 40gb for windows, and 450gb for linux, then realized i needed space for some win apps, and so added 100gb for windows after the linux. so its a windows sandwich with linux filling. [15:40] steven__: basically yes. its not a "anti virus program for non tech people". you need to know whats up with the system to read the rkhunter output. [15:40] oy [15:40] sounds delicious. [15:41] chrisss123456, so where on the disk is the windows boot/mbr? [15:41] sounds more like a s#$% sandwich to me [15:41] Hi guys, i can't see flash with ubuntu webbrowser oxide, any one can helpme? === rafael is now known as Guest27360 [15:42] DocPlatypus: i admit, it's retarded. i might completely fix it if i have to. thought it would do for now though.

[15:42] as [15:43] chrisss123456, and you say windows won't boot ? [15:43] Hello, what ubuntu distribution would you prefer for guest... I can see that unity is in a Ubuntu guest a little bit slow... [15:43] whoa. and I just now realized my network settings icon isn't in my systray [15:43] how to get it back? [15:43] saulocastelo do you have al the required oxide codecs? [15:43] kubanc: guest? [15:44] BluesKaj: Windows used to not boot, but now thats fixed. someone here helped me a while ago. [15:44] MonkeyDust:: i think so [15:44] i oxideqt-codecs - Web browser engine library for Qt (codecs) [15:44] k1l_, I am running virtualbox on Ubuntu host. And I am running Ubuntu 14.04 in Virtualbox and I can see that unity is slow.. [15:44] ok I'm having nvidia-331 problems. Last time I installed nvidia-331-updates to fix it, but now it seems it can't remove that package, it somehow registers as half-installed now [15:45] I'm going to assume the nvidia-331 package was fixed in the meantime. How do I properly replace it? [15:45] kubanc ubuntu runs faster in vmWare [15:45] chrisss123456, sorry I've obviously lost track of your problem then [15:45] MonkeyDust, Also if the host is Windows OS? [15:46] BluesKaj: haha thats ok. so basically, i dont have a boot image for my recovery partitions. how do i change that? [15:46] kubanc not sure, i have ubuntu 14.10 guest in ubuntu 14.04 host [15:47] MonkeyDust, Is the unity fast enough? [15:47] Hello I have installed ubuntu on virtualbox. network worked out of the box. Then I removed some stuff and installed lubuntu-desktop and now internet doesn't work anymore [15:47] kubanc no, not unity, use xfce, it's faster [15:47] MonkeyDust: do i need anything else?

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [15:47] Should I just grab the lubuntu .iso image and install that? [15:47] kubanc: if you want lightweight use Lubuntu [15:47] saulocastelo not sure, it's my closest guess [15:47] chrisss123456, i think if you run check on those partitions in gparted , then update grub again they might restore, but I can't be sure [15:48] MonkeyDust: can you see flash with ubuntu webbrowser? [15:48] I guess that's what I'll do, thanks everyone [15:48] MonkeyDust, I will try xfce and see if it faster... [15:49] BluesKaj: how do i do that? [15:49] saulocastelo trying... [15:50] MonkeyDust: thanks [15:50] BluesKaj: nevermind i think i understood. apparently its risky, but i assume any damage would occur to those partitions only [15:50] saulocastelo seems not [15:50] chrisss1234561, open gparted, right click on said partitions choose "check" in the drop down and apply [15:50] MonkeyDust: :( thanks [15:51] BluesKaj: got that :) [15:51] anyone? [15:52] !patience EchoNight [15:52] BluesKaj: ok, so i've done all that, and update grub only finds what it found before [15:52] brb [15:53] chrisss1234561, I've never seen the windows hidden partitions on grub after installing linux, iirc [15:54] chrisss1234561, the windows restore partition should not be listed in grub [15:54] they probly show up in windows disk management [15:54] BluesKaj: oh :( cfhowlett: how do i do it then? [15:54] BluesKaj: windows disk management is broken though :') thats the thing!

[17:43] christian_: the same as you can do with other operating systems. Usually: running various kind of applications, such as web browsers, media players, office applications, games etc. [17:43] christian_ even social media [17:43] Well yeah i kinda figured that this is just my second machine and i wanted to check out what are some things you can do on linux oppose to windows? [17:43] things you _can't_ do with linux: run windows-only or mac-only software. [17:44] (generally speaking) [17:44] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9837748/ [17:44] christian_: well, there are various applications available that aren't available for windows, as vice versa [17:44] christian_: but in general a computer is a computer, so things are similar [17:44] christian_: as most applications are free and you can install them via the package management (see that as some sort of app store): feel free to try out some [17:45] !manual | christian_ [17:45] christian_: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [17:45] if you're into PC gaming, linux is (in almost all cases) not as nice as windows, as most AAA releases target only windows (and maaaybe apple), but very rarely linux. [17:45] that's really the biggest shortcoming for most people, i'd imagine. [17:45] Yeah thats why i only put it on my second machine [17:46] "it's not the OS, it's the apps" [17:46] in that case, you can do pretty much everything else. without having to worry as much about malware. [17:46] EriC^^: Did you see the result of apt-get update [17:46] ArshiaAghaei: yes [17:47] (most malware, much like most games, targets windows (and maaaybe apple), for the same reason: that's what most people use) === rigved is now known as Guest11155 [17:48] Yeah i understand just did not know if there was any flashy things Linux could do besides the basics [17:48] EriC^^: So??? [17:48] oh well yea. definitely. [17:48] but that's not really of concern to most users. [17:48] if you're a software developer, linux is generally way more awesome than windows, for example. [17:48] christian_ define "flashy" [17:48] Flashy anything that is not usual haha [17:48] ArshiaAghaei: if you want you can remove the google ppa [17:48] or if you're one of "those people", you can heavily customize linux... [17:49] and make your desktop environment look very "flashy", for lack of better words.

[21:51] hd, Linux distros, including those made for server, share a lot of libraries and components. When you use the command line, you don't have to worry about what the purpose of the system is. It doesn't matter what desktop environment you're running (unity, gnome, KDE, etc.) or that you have one at all. [21:52] does it better to use LTS or the last ubuntu ? [21:52] hd, Also, when explaining stuff on IRC/Web, it's a lot easier to share the command line than saying "Go the this application and hit this button and that button" [21:53] yepla, If you have to ask, stick with LTS [21:53] undecim: i have not understand [21:54] what u mean ?

[22:40] christian_: By tables you mean DJ Controllers. [22:40] I have a problem that may sound weird, but actually it is for a quit big movie project. I need a 16-digit prime number with the highest amount of digit "6" in it of all 16-digit-prime-numbers. [22:40] I found a program that is returning all prime numbers between 10^15 and 10^16. Currently I am piping the output of it to a file like "countprimes > primenumbers.txt" - but the file gets extremly large without getting even close to finishing the scan. [22:40] And the answer is yes. [22:40] So is there any way to count the amount of digit 6 in the program return and only put it in a file if it contains the digit more then, lets say, 5 times? Something like "countprimes | check "6" --morethan 5 > primenumbers.txt" [22:41] is it better to get oracle java or openjdk if i want to play minecraft? [22:41] @GraemeLion im talking about i guess controllers yes the turn tables and sound board [22:41] jonathanweber: yeah [22:41] diamondjenny: use what works. [22:42] EriC^^: Awesome! Can yo give me a hint on what I need to do it? [22:42] Do you know if Mixxx is compatible with them or is it just onboard software tables? [22:43] christian_: It's compatible with a variety of midi controllers. They should have a listing on mixxx's website [22:43] hey guys i just installed ubuntu 14.04 server on a machine and cannot for the life of me get apt-get update to work http://pastebin.com/iaEUGBVF [22:43] Thanks bud [22:43] or aptitude update for that matter [22:43] don't use aptitude [22:44] neither work [22:44] frodopwns: your DNS is flawed, it's not resolving. "dig us.archive.ubuntu.com" likely fails out [22:44] where is this system? is it at your home? is it a physical system or a VM? [22:45] its an old dell connected to a router under my desk [22:45] ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.1-Ubuntu <<>> us.archive.ubuntu.com [22:45] ;; global options: +cmd [22:45] ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached [22:45] frodopwns: yep flawed DNS, have you configured a static IP or is it on DHCP right now? [22:45] static uip [22:45] ip [22:46] via what, interfaces file edit? [22:46] did you specify nameservers in there? [22:46] i vimmed /etc/network/interfaces [22:46] eth01 [22:46] err eth0 [22:46] yeah so you messed up :) [22:46] thatll happen [22:46] jonathanweber: something like if [ $( | grep -cx ) -ge ]; then send it to file; fi [22:46] which file do i edit to set teh dns? [22:47] frodopwns: you can put them in interfaces too. or, "sudo apt-get purge resolvconf" then put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" into /etc/resolv.conf [22:47] daftykins: im used to settign this stuff up via gnome [22:47] EriC^^: Thank you, I'm gonna give it a try :-) [22:47] jonathanweber: not sure if you can send the output of the program to a variable first, do the check then echo that to the file [22:47] frodopwns: note that this will fail on a reboot too, you'll need to edit the file above after a reboot for it to stay there. [22:47] k will try er out, thanks [22:47] np [22:48] Can someone take me through the syntax of a man page. [22:48] Why are their 4 different lines that start with the command I want to execute? [22:48] tar [bundles-flags ] [ | ...] [22:48] wtf does all that mean? [22:49] jonathanweber: try var=$(); if [ $(echo $var | grep -cx ) -ge ]; then echo $var > /path/to/file; fi [22:49] jonathanweber: that should work [22:50] That looks cool. [22:50] jonathanweber: you might need to drop the -x from grep [22:50] bash control structures and such? [22:51] daftykins: that worked, thanks again [22:51] jonathanweber: no problem :) [22:51] compdoc: i don't see anything for specific iommu in bios but i did add the kernel parameter iommu=off [22:53] frodopwns: no problemo, remember it may break on reboot again. one more edit and it'll be set :) [22:54] jonathanweber: without the -x it might grab incomplete numbers, maybe try using " " with a space so it grabs the exact match [22:54] Hi I have a live image iso burned to disc and verified for version 14.10....however since I have a nvidia card it won't boot without a corrupted display. I have not been able to figure out how to get into the grub boot information to pass nomodeset depmod which on other distros allows boot to continue. I did find hitting F6 will let me select nomodeset but there is no choice for depmod [22:54] i rebooted and it was still there, noted tho [22:54] how do i format one of my drives [22:55] melray: holding shift while the pc boots should make grub appear [22:55] EriC^^: Thanks so much [22:55] diamondjenny: man mkfs [22:56] i put that in search computer and only a stock came up [22:57] diamondjenny: you were supposed to put that into a linux command line to read the manpage [22:57] to rename files to lower case one, can use the rename 'y/A-Z/a-z' * What does the y mean? [22:57] diamondjenny: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man8/mkfs.8.html [22:57] oh i have no idea what that is [22:57] diamondjenny: read that page [22:57] okay [22:59] pavlos: it's like the tr command [23:00] EriC^^, I understand that but cannot find anything in perlexpr tutorials. [23:00] pavlos: like if you give it 'y/abcd/ABCD/' it will convert all occurances of abcd to ABCD [23:01] pavlos: man sed [23:02] EriC^^, man sed, that was it. At the very end it shows y/source/dest/ ... many thanks [23:03] what is a good gui website program that's in the software center ? [23:04] pavlos: no problem [23:06] hi all ok keep getting this message which locks up computer eventually: "DMA: Out of SW-IOMMU space for 4096 bytes at device 0000:00:1f.2" I've tried iommu=soft and that doesn't work and i also tried iommu=off and that leave system unbootable any help? === bazhang__ is now known as Guest96485 [23:10] makaveli0129: have you tried changing SATA config or hunted for other BIOS options as you were already suggested? [23:10] daftykins: the only bios setting i see is virtualization [23:11] daftykins: i don't see any bios settings to turn it off [23:11] makaveli0129: which is your CPU? exact model. [23:11] intel wolfdale e8500 [23:11] so an old core 2 duo? [23:12] daftykins: yea [23:12] i don't think those had VT-d, hmm [23:12] so - SATA options? [23:12] daftykins: what am i looking for in sata options [23:12] the controller mode [23:12] daftykins: as that is the device that it seems to be blowing up on [23:13] RAID/AHCI/IDE emulation [23:13] yes thats why i'm suggesting it [23:13] daftykins: i believe it is ahci but i'm not sure i would have to reboot and check [23:13] give it a whirl [23:14] ok i'll be back [23:17] hi [23:17] lo [23:18] how can I setup two different configurations for eth0 for two different physical locations (e.g. modems/routers) that I have in mind? [23:18] is eth0:0 and eth0:1 via aliases the right way? [23:18] daftykins: i had a sata raid/ahci that was disable so i moved it to ahci [23:18] daftykins: the only other option i had was something like sata 0-3 native mode which was also disabled [23:19] MrmacHD: GUI system? nah i'm sure network manager can help there [23:19] no terminal only [23:20] no guis [23:20] why does this machine move, then? [23:20] because its portable, beaglebone black if you know. [23:21] well portable at times. [23:21] i once read an article that said the whole interface:# was the wrong approach [23:21] but i don't have it to hand to share [23:21] so that was what I suspected. [23:22] i mean i'm sure it'd work, but it depends if you prefer "the right way" over what works :> [23:22] network interface aliases seemed useful for custom setups, like proxies/vpns... [23:22] no prefer the right way. [23:22] durable work. [23:22] macintosh has that, add/remove network service [23:23] macs aren't GUI free though :> [23:23] but on linux im not that familiar since I never have seen the gui. [23:23] yeah [23:24] the problem is mainly that the two modems I am dealing with have different subnetmask ip addressing structures. [23:24] and I don’t want to manually reset or change these details everytime I move. [23:25] MrmacHD: you could just keep two /etc/network/interfaces files configured and swap out when you move, guess it depends on the scenario which you know better than i [23:25] yes, at this point i am slowly thinking of scripting the manual setup ... [23:25] but that is not going to be a durable solution. === saschpe is now known as zz_saschpe [23:27] anyone here used cable isp that is running on last-mile? [23:29] DARUDE: what makes that an Ubuntu support query? [23:30] people on freenode are from all over the world. discussing ISPs is quite futile [23:30] ? [23:31] ok thanks daftykins [23:37] Hello I installed lubuntu-desktop but now I don't want it and I want ubuntu back to how it was before [23:37] how can I do this? [23:37] in particular the problem is that internet doesn't work now I installed lubuntu-desktop. I am not sure why (I'm running this through virtualbox) [23:38] p0a: ok [23:38] if the internet worked, you'd want to keep it? [23:38] certainly [23:38] it runs smoother [23:39] ok, get it to work then [23:39] I've no idea how to do that [23:39] p0a: you can choose ubuntu too btw, from the top right corner when you login [23:39] I had clicked 'log in automatically' [23:40] if I logout from the user will the option be available? [23:40] yeah i think so === KavanSx is now known as KavanS [23:41] alright I did that and I'm waiting for the response, it kinda froze right now [23:41] if i had a local unit of currency for everytime someone selects auto login then can't change session... ;) [23:42] lol [23:42] daftykins: if I had a local unit of currency for everytime I get absurd things happen to me that never happen to others :) [23:43] because if you think that's common try this: internet worked only half of the times so I had to reboot until it did [23:43] maybe it was a connection thing where I could just toggle 'connect/disconnect' until it worked [23:43] i think you'd be poor [23:44] :P [23:45] p0a: not sure if this really helps, but sudo service network-manager restart seems to help sometimes === erry_ is now known as erry [23:46] idk it doesn't work now [23:46] does someone know how i can make ubuntu stop starting daemons that i stop with "service stop"? [23:47] Fusl: update-rc.d [23:47] EriC^^: that's not what i meant [23:47] i mean, i do "service transmission-daemon stop" and ubuntu keeps starting it up again with: init: transmission-daemon main process ended, respawning [23:48] p0a: well, as long as you're blaming virtualbox :) [23:54] I just had to put this out there. I was talking to my boss about how to manage users ssh keys and his suggestion was to pre bake our ec2 ami with all the users home directories already created. I work for a fucking dinosaur. [23:54] !profanity [23:54] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:55] Hi guys anyone know where I can get the source code for the old ubuntu windows installer [23:56] i wouldn't touch WUBI with a bargepole if i were you [23:56] I just had to put this out there. I was talking to my boss about how to manage users ssh keys and his suggestion was to pre bake our ec2 ami with all the users home directories already created. I work for a epic moron of the highest magnitude. [23:57] boss intelligence is off-topic [23:57] dgarstang: doug is that you? i think i work with you [23:57] lol [23:57] daftykins: I onyl want it to look at the torrent downloader part [23:57] haha [23:57] dgarstang: j/k [23:57] If i need linux its a VM or old PC [23:58] ElfBot: i wasn't even aware it downloaded releases by torrent 0o what's the plan? [23:58] WEEE! [23:59] can you help me with the process of creating a 125GB partition using GParted? [23:59] Just a little project I have nearly finished - seems a waste to write an entire libtorrent wrapper/torrent client from scratch [23:59] dalekusa: on an empty disk, or? [23:59] my current, singular HDD (gonna install Win10 preview on it)
