[00:01] Torvil: why. Is it freezing up that bad you can't preform an update. [00:02] how does one set up ubuntu so that it's accessible on the network via its hostname? [00:02] Torvil: short answer yes. But most people can't install them that way. [00:03] notdaniel: depends on the OS you're connecting from. === drkokandy_ is now known as drkokandy [00:04] daftykins, would installing Mate alongside Unity cause problems? [00:04] pass [00:04] daftykins: well for instance we have a synology storage server on the network, and from osx it can be reached at diskstation.local and from windows it can be reached from just diskstation. currently running an ubuntu server and can only access it via IP currently [00:05] Torvil: you'll probably never boot past grub if you try to install them yourself. [00:06] daftykins, you're not sure? [00:06] i don't do desktop, l0rdn1x [00:06] ah ok [00:06] notdaniel: You need a server running. [00:06] notdaniel: You could edit the /etc/hosts file to replace ip with computername [00:06] notdaniel: perhaps SAMBA installed might help, or hosts file edits on the other systems might help [00:07] it's running an smb server, but diskstation can be accessed via just ssh by its hostname as well, the ubuntu server not so much [00:07] I I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04 on a EFI/GPT partition table, with encrypted root and swap. While I am able to create the disk and continue with installation, when O reboot the system after install the boot loader never starts and no OS is found. Can anyone shed some light on this issue and help me get to a bootable system? [00:07] i dont want to manually edit the hostnames of all our machines, haha. just wondering how the synology does it. it's not acting as the router or anything [00:07] notdaniel: can you reach it by up [00:08] ip? yes [00:08] Ip yes [00:08] its hostname on the network is just 'apsalus', does that need to be set like something specific like 'apsalus.local' or whatever? [00:08] .local tends to get added by routers and so on, or it's the mac speak of networking [00:09] the diskstation i can just plug into the network and the other machines find it by hostname without any additional changes to anything [00:09] well yeah, because it's an appliance meant to be connected to [00:09] now, i said install samba... hop to it :) [00:10] samba is running [00:10] i can mount volumes, just via IP [00:10] you need to play with the config a bit so it advertises itself [00:10] could someone please tell me what hwdep is and how to use it for device names? === ubuntu is now known as Guest29258 === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [00:28] what's the best way to increase the volume on a mp4! with! zero noise [00:29] first time #ubuntu is quiet.. === moustafa is now known as mstfa [00:36] Hi, I've just freshly installed my computer with 14.04 netinstall booting in EFI mode, I get a gui and all that jazz, but at 1024x764, so I'm attempting to install the propritary Nvidia drivers that are newer than ubuntu provided drivers as I got a GTX 980 in the machine, unfortunatley I can't get a working tty, the monitor just goes blank when I try switch to a tty [00:36] I have set GRUB_TERMINAL=console and GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 to see if they would help, but nither option gives me a working tty. Any ideas? [00:40] Thor: I just fixed this problem... thinking... [00:40] i am curious if ubuntu will ever work with older hardware. lts is obviously important to people and i'm certain there are tons of core 2 duos 3.0ghz out there that need homes. i have a speedy amd but wish i could run 14.04 lts on older hardware [00:40] avis: ubuntu will run quite well on older hardware [00:41] Thor: When you install the nVidia drivers are you getting errors? Is the script running through without problems? [00:41] even better if you swap out unity for lxde or similar [00:41] maimster: I'm unable to start it cause X is running [00:41] Thor: Did you stop lightdm, with sudo service lightdm stop. [00:42] maimster: I'm left with a blank screen then, since I don't have a working tty [00:42] Thor: Is tty7 also blank? [00:42] yep [00:42] Thor: Interesting... [00:43] Thor: I remember having to remove Ubuntu's nouveau drivers, and modules. [00:44] Thor: Then stopping lightdm, to install the nVidia drivers. Jeez I just did this like 2 days ago. Freakin age kils my memory. [00:44] with the gtx 980 it doesn't seem to load the nouveau drivers, but I'll try removing it [00:44] maimster: history? :P [00:44] Thor: Ahh checking... [00:45] anyone ever got a broadcom BCM43231 working without ndiswrapper? [00:45] maimster: 90% of my system documentation is in history :D [00:46] (specifically the netgear wna3100) [00:46] Thor: Seems like I'm always reinstalling the nVidia drivers when I get updates done to the kernel. Which breaks the drives. I just rerun the script and all is good until the next kernel update. :o) [00:47] Thor: Your speaking about the .bash_history file right? [00:47] !nomodeset | Thor :; have you tried -> [00:47] Thor :; have you tried ->: 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:48] trying that [00:48] Thor: I'm using the GTX 750TI I was lucky in that the nouveau drivers booted me into a really low resolution. [00:49] Bashing-om: that was it! :) [00:49] thanks [00:50] maimster: For my info, what method did you use to install the propritary driver for your 750ti ? [00:50] Thor: Great, ya still need to install a proprietary driver, as no driver is avail in the repo . [00:51] Bashing-om: I went to tty1, then sudo service lightdm stop. Which allowed me to install the drivers. [00:51] maimster: Yeah, but from what PPA or OEM ? [00:51] Bashing-om: I then do small changes to xorg.conf and 1680x1050 works fine. [00:51] Bashing-om: figured that :P [00:51] Bashing-om: I downloaded from nVidia.com [00:52] Bashing-om: Once I downloaded the file, I chmod 755 to it. Then run sh ./filename and it worked. [00:52] maimster: thanks ( there are 2 trusted PPAs ) . [00:52] Bashing-om: True, I tried not to use them if I don't have to. [00:53] Bashing-om: I'm a paranoid little man. [00:53] and it looks like the install went flawlessly :) [00:53] maimster: l :-) . [00:54] Thor: Thinking how in the world can we get pass the black screens. Even using the grub loader I would know what to add to it. [00:55] maimster: nomodset worked ;) [00:55] *modeset [00:55] Thor: Ahh sweet!!! [00:55] once I logged in all the monitors sprung to life at native resolution :) [00:55] Thor: so your up and running? [00:56] yup [00:56] Thor: GR8! [00:56] Thor: That g-card is using is NO JOKE! [00:56] Thor: You running Steam with it? [00:57] maimster: actually not going to use it for gaming on ubuntu at all [00:57] Thor: Why all the meat then? [00:57] I just want a base os that I can install e19 on and have a good terminal on for development :P [00:57] maimster: I game on windows [00:57] and 3 display ports :) [00:58] Thor: Windows... make me think I'm at work. [00:58] maimster: I'm an avid user of most platforms, beastie on my servers, os x at work, windows and linux at home [00:59] Thor: Nicely done! [01:00] each of them have their strenghts so why not use them to what they are good at? :D [01:06] anyone have a script to take all files on a HD and remove all the file hierarchy and drop everything into a single directory? [01:08] well ill be damned. installing new nvidia 346 was giving me pains through terminal so i decided to use my linux knowledge from the past week and stop lightdm and then instlal the driver and it worked somehow. wohoo [01:08] no more held packages error [01:11] sojiro_: A ubuntu proficiency badge in the offing ? [01:12] what is offing? [01:12] i am new to linux. so big achievement for me haha [01:13] going from easey of stuff in windows to not easy stuff here and there in linux was quite the switch [01:13] sojiro_: pending to be offered (furture tense) . [01:13] but the terminal really is damn handy in cases where something was hanging and couldnt get back to desktop [01:13] 10 points awarded, but instantly deducted since the nvidia driver *does* tell you to stop X to install :P [01:14] still dont know what you mean bashing-om, sorry [01:14] where does it says that dafty? [01:14] the terminal didnt said that :P it only said there where some conflicts and i had to fix it myself [01:14] the website maybe [01:14] when you run nvidia's .run, if you've used the manual download instead of packages [01:14] i atleast now know the way how to update [01:14] ahh [01:14] i first tried the easy way [01:14] through terminal [01:15] sojiro_: I was just patting you on the back for a job well done .. making a few more steps on that learning curve . ( it does get easier ) . [01:15] but seems, after some googling, that wine got some libopencl that was conflicting [01:15] i keep hearing that about wine, yeah [01:15] thanks Bash, yeah, i feel pretty good about myself for this feat haha [01:16] i also fixed a compiz problem i made myself where i suddenly only had black screen and cursor, had to remove and reinstlal compiz through terminal [01:16] delinquentme: how would you want your script to handle file name conflicts? [01:16] yeah i wonder why wine doenst just use official lib's in that regard [01:16] thats a complex scenario [01:16] flattening a tree structure [01:16] I mean it's easy enough to do, ignoring all possible error scenarios [01:17] damn, well, the newest nvidia still doesnt fix the weird red outline in 2 games i have, so odd [01:24] Is VFIO_PCI_VGA set to "y" in the default config? I changed a lot of settings when I compiled my kernel. Could somebody take a look? [01:24] anyone know what i can do about this? libGL error: Version 4 or later of flush extension not found libGL error: failed to load driver: i915 [01:24] cat /boot/config* | grep VFIO [01:24] compiling your own kernel isn't really intended [01:25] if you are going to pass GPUs to your kvm clients and your machine it might be [01:26] daftykins, if CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_VGA is set to "y" then I don't need to do this anymore. [01:26] the way to see that is cat /boot/config* |grep VFIO [01:26] yeah you're on your own with that errand :) [01:27] there are 1665 ppl here. I am sure more then 1 person knows how to compile a kernel. [01:28] maybe one of them is happy to help, yeah. [01:28] atm I am on Debian Wheezy Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.65-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux [01:29] So I can' [01:29] then perhaps you should go bug #debian [01:29] :> [01:29] and there it works [01:29] if I compile the kernel === Piter-De-Vries is now known as piter-de-vries [01:40] Can somebody that uses Ubuntu tell me if they see "y" for VFIO_PCI_VGA ? Not sure if Ubuntu has that compiled into the kernel or not. cat /boot/config* | grep VFIO_PCI_VGA [01:43] qxt: -> CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_VGA=y , CONFIG_VFIO_PCI_VGA=y . [01:45] Bashing-om, awesome. Gonna install it now. For once Ubuntu did something real nice =) [01:46] qxt :) [01:53] can I use an ubuntu live disk to recover a bad file system? [01:53] yes [01:53] yes [01:54] but there's a few other distros which might fit better [01:54] parted magic or so on [01:54] (depending on if that live machine has internet access -> if so, it doesn't matter anyways) [01:54] so the broken HD was ... and ubuntu machine [01:54] and = an * ... so im just trying to get the HD bootable again [01:56] OH. and I know its not the right channel ... b ut do SSD HDs go bad less often than disk drives?

[04:14] Can someone please advise me on how best to debug an issue with 3D games completely crashing/locking up my PC? [04:14] What sort of video drivers are you using? [04:15] I'm currently using the Nvidia 304 binary drivers from their website. [04:15] But I have tried several up to the latest as well as those from the repository. [04:15] Hrmm. I've had some issues with my nvidia drivers too. What model? [04:15] This issue started in the middle of last year. I have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 570 === remline_ is now known as remline [04:16] memtest? [04:16] I'm running a Gtx 750. I would suggest completely uninstalling all of your nvidia drivers, and only trying to install from the ppa. === dtscode is now known as notdts [04:16] don't bother with the binary. [04:16] ci3: I tried that but it wouldn't even detect my monitors. [04:17] You don't have integrated graphics? :/ [04:17] No [04:17] don't say that like it's a bad thing [04:17] so, memtest? [04:17] PPA 304 not working doesn't make any sense [04:17] Humm. Not a bad thing. Try the 340. [04:17] not PPA but official ubuntu repos [04:18] sudo apt-get install nvidia-340 [04:18] daftykins: Currently checking options for this. memtest86? Looks like I'll need to do it from boot. === notdts is now known as dtscode [04:18] 340 isn't in the repos [04:18] memtest86+ yeah, should be on the GRUB menu [04:18] I just installed it this afternoon! [04:18] !info nvidia-340 [04:18] daftykins: I'll need to find and burn a CD or USB stick. [04:18] Package nvidia-340 does not exist in utopic [04:18] nope.

[04:20] good luck! I've had a lot of success getting my stuff running with 340 though. [04:20] ci3: I've tried the binary 340 and 346 drivers and had the same problem. [04:21] It doesn't seem to be every 3D game, just most. [04:21] Is this through wine? [04:21] Do you know of a way to test the graphics card itself? [04:21] No, native Linux games like Quake 2. [04:21] (YamagiQ2) [04:21] Actually I should test ioquake3 to see if that's affected. [04:22] If I suddenly disappear it's because Linux has locked up, stopped my displays and stopped responding to keyboard input. [04:23] i'd confirm it across different OSs (Windows) after checking system stability [04:23] maybe even disk health [04:23] hemebond: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [04:23] daftykins: Yes, I have Windows 7 installed too and I actually experienced issues in there too. Even though initial tests didn't show any problems in Windows 7. That's why I've downgraded the drivers. [04:24] sounds like hardware then [04:24] mreh. that's a bummer. you could always just get a new graphics card. :) [04:24] daftykins: Thanks, I didn't have much luck with that. [04:24] anyway, memtest... then maybe if you run ubuntu we can assist [04:24] but it sounds like a wonky card. [04:24] Sometimes it worked, especially if I mashed the keys quick enough, but I could never get the system to recover even then. [04:24] it reboots, not recover :D [04:24] Maybe it's loose? Did you check the connection in the case itself? [04:25] lol. [04:25] you would NOT see a picture at all if it was the connection [04:26] :P === drkokandy_ is now known as drkokandy [04:26] I have removed and re-installed the card several times, cleaning/dusting it each time. [04:27] After I installed the 304 drivers I tried to login without rebooting first and the screens turned green and the system locked up. Worked fine after a reboot. Behaviour there seems similar. [04:27] maybe that's the problem, static ;) [04:27] anyway you've plenty to be going on [04:29] ioquake3 works fine. going to remove high-res textures from q2 and test that again [04:31] those games are far too old and rubbish to stress test such a card [04:32] Well high-res textures would use up all the card RAM [04:32] doubt it === CHIMPOUT is now known as Lambodie_Dance === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon === damian- is now known as damian [05:00] What DNS server does Ubuntu's tasksel install?

[05:15] problem is that transmission is also attempting to update tracker through that iface which means it needs 'outside' access, and there sin't a default gateway [05:15] !ru [05:15] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

I attempted to set a static route but that so far hasn't worked, and I don't think it'd work as I intend anyhow since things may come in one interface and leave through another [05:18] and the guides I have looked up show how to do this on seperate gateways, but I essentially need both eth0 and eth1 use the same default gateway (but perhaps set the metric for eth1 high so it isn't preferred unless a process is bound to it) [05:18] any ideas or guides on how I might accomplish this?

[08:51] uber_hulk: yeah [08:51] I copied from ext3 to vfat [08:51] And sizes are changed [08:51] Hope i haven't lost any data [08:52] EriC^^: that mens i haven't lost anything? [08:52] uber_hulk: did you use rsync? [08:52] it checksums the data [08:52] EriC^^: i simply did cp -dpR [08:52] And it was successful [08:53] uber_hulk: i think it's due to the file system difference, make sure though [08:53] i dont know for sure.. [08:53] But file sizes are different [08:53] how big is the data? [08:54] maybe copy again with rsync? [08:54] 2 G [08:54] EriC^^: never used rsync how does tis work? [08:54] rsync -av [08:54] uber_hulk: what kind of data has changed in size [08:55] Folders that contains pictures [08:55] brandonbart: no need to access windows [08:55] brandonbart: you've lost grub and trying to reinstall grub? [08:55] uber_hulk: maybe some dataloss? [08:55] bekks: what did you mean earlier? [08:56] bekks: about testdisk or brandonbart ? [08:56] EriC^^: Well, If he just installed ubuntu, install (writing) even more data to the device is he trying to recover will cause even more loss of data. [08:56] Okay so after mountung i can use rsync to copy paste like rsync -iv source /mnt/usb? [08:56] bekks: ok [08:57] ive been able to recover data with photorec from far away ages, even after multiple reinstalls [08:57] EriC^^ I need to access windows in general [08:57] that is my main goal [08:57] EriC^^: ? [08:57] in order to do that I need to fix grub [08:57] using testdisk live as EriC^^ suggested might be best way [08:58] Im on live cd [08:58] !rsync | uber_hulk [08:58] uber_hulk: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [08:58] got testdisk installed [08:58] in order to fix grub i need to type in these commands that mount temporary things to these partitions [08:58] in order to mount i cant have these hibernation flags [08:58] uber_hulk: rsync -av [08:59] brandonbart: make your life easy and install ubuntu single :p [08:59] brandonbart: you dont need to mount the windows partition to reinstall grub [08:59] yes because grub is on there [08:59] hyperderp: sudo testdisk [08:59] and no i cant uninstall windows i have so much stuff on there [08:59] yea im doing that now EriC^^ [08:59] hyperderp: do you have another hdd to transfer the data to? [08:59] EriC^^: cool [09:00] EriC^^: sadly no cause 2 hdd's died on me [09:00] brandonbart: also recover your data with photorec on windows [09:00] hyperderp: as bekks suggested using the same hdd might cause data to be overwritten.. it's up to you [09:00] i only really need a certain file [09:00] hyperderp: ok [09:00] just lets hope that i can recover it [09:01] most of the disk will have linux partitioned on it now :( [09:01] you can probably recover it [09:01] I was like oh yea thats fine. then installed and i was like NO GOD DAMNIT [09:01] Brain didn't click on until i installed it lol [09:01] i recovered my whole recovery partition ( 18gb ) with testdisk and reinstall win8 with it [09:02] only 121600 things to go through lol [09:02] EriC^^: can i own the /mnt /usb? [09:02] uber_hulk: yeah sudo chown user:group /mnt === zv is now known as Guest45164 === hyperderp is now known as hypermist [09:03] :D [09:03] I was using the nick hyperderp cause i derped :| [09:03] uber_hulk: wait, why? [09:03] EriC^^: AS yesterday, chown will not work on vfat :) [09:03] * hypermist will leave this to do its thing === MasterFascism is now known as Arbition [09:04] Hi I am trying to delete a ppa repo the nvidia launchpad but i cannot find the name of it. I found the repo name in sources.list.d and I tried to delete with the command sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:nvidia-vdpau-ubuntu-ppa-utopic/ppa but it did not work. What am i doing wrong? === Arbition is now known as MasterFascism [09:04] EriC^^: gettig rsync chown /pictures/turkey failed operation not permitted === MasterFascism is now known as Arbition [09:04] hypermist: ok, did you press on no log, no log, pressed on the disk, then Intel ? [09:04] or analyze then intel ? [09:05] uber_hulk: use sudo with rsync [09:05] sudo rsync -av .... [09:05] bekks: good point [09:05] hypermist: it should only take 20 secs.. [09:05] EriC^^: yea still [09:06] I installed a bunch of .ttf files from a Windows 7 in Ubuntu, and all of a sudden, some fonts are aliased (pixelized). I installed font-manager, but I can't find them there. How can i uninstall the fonts again? [09:06] hypermist: ( the quick search and deep search ) it probably wont find anything after the first 20 secs [09:06] im doing deepsearch [09:06] 121600 things to through [09:06] EriC^^: any workaround? [09:06] hypermist: are some partitions showing up? [09:06] Its showing lots of linux atm EriC^^ [09:06] uber_hulk: what's the exact error? [09:07] thats only at 6000 [09:07] any other partitions at all? [09:07] Not atm no [09:07] Should i stop deep and just do quick ? [09:07] 2:34 PM EriC^^: getting rsync: chown "/pictures/turkey" failed operation not permitted [09:07] hypermist: no deep is fine [09:08] i have 121600 things to go through xD [09:08] uber_hulk: you cannot use chown on vfat, which I told you yesterday already. [09:08] so lets wait [09:08] hypermist: try pressing q until you get the intel gpt screen, and press gpt [09:08] hypermist: are you using gpt? type sudo parted -l and check if your disk partition table says gpt or msdos [09:08] bekks: is that worrysome in sense of data loose? [09:09] uber_hulk: No. [09:09] Never mind, I found the fonts. [09:09] do i need to open a new terminal EriC^^ ? [09:09] hypermist: yeah [09:09] K [09:09] uber_hulk: you just cant set permissions, which is irrelevant for you, as you said you dont care about permissions. [09:09] Hello? [09:09] EriC^^: msdos [09:09] hypermist: ok [09:09] luckily i only just installed linux [09:09] xD [09:09] Bekks yep [09:10] uber_hulk: So why is this an issue again today? :) [09:10] Just thought maybe the reason behind data loss [09:11] I'm having trouble updating my repositories on IPv6 (he.net). It is specifically the security.ubuntu.com repository (2001:67c:1562::... network). Works over IPv4, times out from IPv6 he.net (Stockholm node) and SixXS. [09:11] Can anyone replicate this issue? (I've done it at least two wildly different IPv6 networks). [09:12] I cannot ping6 the machines either. [09:12] EriC^^: est time for deep search ? [09:12] infinity [09:12] :P [09:12] :D good [09:13] hypermist: it takes a while, if nothing shows up there's also scrounge-ntfs [09:13] lets just hope something does show up cause i have a bitcoin wallet in there EriC^^ lol [09:13] i've never used it before, so i can't attest to anything [09:14] so far just lots of linux [09:15] EriC^^: do you know if shows Windows or MSDOS ? [09:15] How can i open files in terminal? [09:15] zacwalls: open a text file [09:15] or run a binary? [09:15] EriC^^: and im transitioning from windows to linux so :D [09:16] if ./yourfile doesn't work, try chmod +x yourfile [09:16] then ./yourfile [09:16] hypermist: it should show ntfs i think [09:16] nmz787 I am trying to delete a ppa repo and I am failing [09:16] (chmod +x add the execute permission to a file) [09:16] EriC^^: ah okay [09:16] hypermist: i'm checking out scrounge-ntfs seems promising [09:16] As long as something recovers it i will be happy [09:16] nm787 Wat [09:17] hypermist: it seems to want the start sector and end sector and has a cool feature where you can save the list of files for it to recover later reliably if it has to [09:17] hypermist: do you have a sudo fdisk -l that you did recently? [09:17] EriC^^: :o [09:17] i think that could help immensely [09:17] EriC^^: what you mean ? [09:17] did you pastebin sudo fdisk -l by any chance? [09:17] nope i didn't [09:18] do you want me to EriC^^ ? [09:19] this was just like a fresh install on ubuntu today. like literally 1hr30min ago [09:19] So i havent used ubuntu since i installed it [09:20] EriC^^: some files/attrs were not transferred (code 23) [09:21] Rsync error that is ^ [09:21] uber_hulk: did you use sudo with rsync? [09:21] uber_hulk: what's the exact command you used? [09:21] Yes i did [09:21] uber_hulk: permissions were not transferred.... [09:21] ah [09:21] yeah ^ [09:21] Sameas yesterday. :) [09:22] EriC^^: did you want me to pastebin my fdisk -l ? [09:22] Sudo rsync -av pictures/turkey /mnt/usb [09:22] hypermist: sure why not [09:22] bekks: yeah [09:22] But this error is different [09:22] Some *files* it says [09:23] uber_hulk: No. It says: "some files/xattrs". [09:23] http://pastebin.com/gAGcVgY1 EriC^^ i have a usb so yea thats for my livecd. but you can see my other above [09:23] uber_hulk: it's odd that it says chown /picture/turkey operation not permitted [09:23] uber_hulk, msdos/fat32 does save file permissions on CP [09:23] cfhowlett: No on vfat. [09:23] cfhowlett: vfat cant store permissions at all. [09:23] 2:50 PM EriC^^: some files/attrs were not transferred (code 23) [09:23] So it is also for permission? [09:23] anylaptops ubuntu pre-installed? [09:23] Or i am really loosing sth? [09:24] uber_hulk: permissions are "attr". [09:24] cynical, dozens [09:24] uber_hulk: hold on [09:24] ex? [09:24] nmz787; I tried to rm -i the file and was successful, but there is another and im not having the same luck with this one [09:25] EriC^^: does the fdisk -l help you at all ? [09:25] cynical, http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [09:26] 18% done on the deep search EriC^^ lol [09:26] rm: remove regular empty file: What does that mean? [09:26] why does unity hang when i minimize firefox? [09:26] zacwalls: that you are trying to remove an empty file, which is not a special file. [09:27] bekks, How can I get rid of these ppa? [09:27] zacwalls: Which PPA? [09:27] zacwalls: what era you actually trying to do? [09:27] nvidia launchpad or something [09:28] uber_hulk: src=/pictures/turkey; dst=/mnt/usb; find $src -exec md5sum '{}' >> ~/tmp/md5 \;; sed -i "s@$src@$dst@" ~/tmp/md5; md5sum -c ~/tmp/md5 | grep -i failed [09:28] zacwalls: thats too vage, unfortunately. Whats the actuall issue behind all that? [09:28] bekks; remove these ppa's cuz i can no insyall anything [09:28] uber_hulk: type that, if you dont get any failed lines then the md5's match and all the data should be there [09:28] zacwalls: why cant you install anything? [09:29] EriC^^: this will check md5? [09:29] uber_hulk: yeah [09:29] bekks, Because the ppa [09:29] bekks, I think [09:29] EriC^^: this deep search may take hours.. [09:29] hypermist: yeah [09:29] hypermist: it's odd that it doesn't show up right away [09:29] zacwalls: Thats an assumption only. What happens when you try to install something? [09:30] what that one you were talking about mabye it will be faster and find it [09:30] zacwalls: And which Ubuntu are you on, exactly? [09:30] hypermist: type apt-cache search recover partition [09:30] hypermist: it's a list of recovery programs [09:30] bekks, Im on unicorn and I get the try apt-get -r install [09:30] EriC^^: cool [09:31] EriC^^: ah i see im just gunna try do a quick scan [09:31] hypermist: try photorec, sudo photorec [09:31] zacwalls: and whats the entire, full, unchanged output of that command? Put it into a pastebin and provide the URL in here please. [09:31] hypermist: i get most of the stuff in deep search, but it comes up in the first few seconds [09:31] EriC^^: does that recover files or photos / [09:31] hypermist: files. [09:31] hypermist: i think so [09:31] hypermist: both i think [09:32] i will install that in a sec then [09:32] photos are files, too. [09:32] it's already installed, it's installed with testdisk [09:32] Oh okay [09:33] EriC^^: doing it now [09:34] uber_hulk: sorry drop the ~ before /tmp/md5 [09:35] uhm EriC^^ it started saving [09:35] and it filled the usb [09:35] xD [09:35] lol [09:35] is that good? [09:35] no cause it didn't get it all [09:35] XD [09:36] ah i see [09:36] i tried it here [09:36] you can't browse for the file [09:36] I noticed [09:36] ok, press on file options at the bottom [09:37] what do you mean and where ? [09:37] bekks, pc died. sorry [09:37] where you select the partition there's File Opt at the bottom [09:38] i don't see are you able to get a me screenshot ? [09:38] ok [09:39] unless i may have found it but to be sure i will get an image to confirm [09:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9864074/ [09:39] ah alright yep im there [09:40] ok press on s to disable all files [09:40] yep done that EriC^^ [09:40] what's the file type? [09:41] the file im trying to recover is a .dat [09:41] im going to need to delete the files that were just stored on the usb EriC^^ [09:41] ok [09:42] lol i can't [09:42] you need sudo [09:42] :P [09:42] so i would just to sudo rm recup* [09:42] is that correct ? [09:42] rm if it's all in one dir yeah [09:42] are those dirs or files? [09:43] rm -r if they are dirs [09:43] boom [09:43] :D [09:43] ok :D [09:43] so im guessing i scroll down the list to dat [09:43] ? [09:43] yeah select dat [09:43] how lol ? [09:44] pressingenter ? [09:44] pressing enter * [09:44] use the right arrow [09:44] hhhhh [09:44] done that EriC^^ now [09:44] what next lol ? [09:46] press on search [09:46] so go back [09:46] and then hit search ? [09:46] yeah [09:46] i dont think it's going to work though [09:46] * hypermist hope this works [09:46] i will know if it works [09:47] i just tried creating a file bla.dat and tried to recover it from a fat partition [09:47] i think it looks at the header of the file not the extension [09:47] hypermist: what kind of file is it? [09:47] its a wallet.dat file [09:48] ill try with a .7z [09:48] The good old bitcoin wallet? :) [09:48] bekks: an altcoin [09:48] i have 0.05btc worth of it :| [09:49] Estimated time to completion 2h [09:49] oh. [09:50] * hypermist has no life anyway [09:50] Hmm, thats about 10€. Spent 4 hours for recovering, thats 2.50€/h :) [09:50] which its like 20NZD [09:51] I need it D; [09:51] hypermist: it looks at the file header [09:51] i just put a mp3 and deleted the extension [09:51] it found it, didn't find the .dat file though [09:51] D: [09:51] thats not good [09:51] it think .dat is a IE archive file or something [09:51] yeah [09:51] odd that you can't browse the files yourself.. [09:52] if only [09:52] there are other file recovery programs though [09:52] the scrouage-ntfs you said [09:54] hypermist: hey, [09:54] Yello ? [09:54] scroll down to the bottom, there's text files [09:54] i think it's just any random text file [09:54] where ? [09:55] at the bottom below tx? [09:55] tx ?

[09:56] No i haven't removed ~ [09:56] Think missed that [09:56] Scroll up a little [09:56] I'm moving my encrypted home dir to a new computer where it will not be encrypted. Is copying via an USB flash drive going to do the trick, or is there something to be aware of? [09:56] uber_hulk: remove the ~ before /tmp/md5 [09:56] Only that one? [09:57] And keep the other ~? [09:57] thats alot of text files EriC^^ lol [09:57] 60k+ and counting [09:57] unnamed i guess?

The upstart script looks like this: http://pastebin.com/raw?i=7U00ZX5b [10:40] I have come to the realization that root does not have knowledge/access about the X11 session running (no environment variables set), so I added export DISPLAY=:0:0, which should then in turn use unix socket to the X11 session. But that is not working either. There is no specific need for me to be running this as root, I could just as well run it as my default user. How would I do that instead so that it inherits the profile/environment of [10:40] default user? [10:41] i would need the coin im looking for wallet.dat EriC^^ [10:42] EriC^^: [10:42] how do i change a files permissions [10:44] hypermist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod [10:44] Not very much i just did that lel [10:44] can't write dvds and cds all of a sudden need help [10:45] Just before you posted i found the wiki for the file Nytram :D [10:45] Naoto you need to post any error messages and be a little more descriptive in what is/is not happening [10:46] is shown as block device and K3b shows error message by start, no device found [10:46] 你好 [10:46] and in brasero I can only choose to create an image [10:47] Your DvD writer is not mounted?

[11:24] cause wallet.dat arent detected by default [11:24] so. yea i had to do some stuff to make it detect [11:25] hypermist: i think photorec will name it file00354.dat or something [11:25] does anyone know were i can ask wifi related questions? [11:25] here [11:25] hypermist: browse into your recovered folder [11:25] lotuspsychje: nah if i did the fidentify wallet.dat it would say unkown :D [11:25] nrdb, Spying purposes, sorry can't tell, its classified [11:25] so i had to make a .photorec.sig file :D and now it detected it was a .dat [11:25] maybe we can help you DarthEaron2 [11:25] hypermist: normally it will find all data, even when you didnt specified the extension [11:25] lotuspsychje: i did that the thing [11:26] but it wouldn't detect it by default [11:26] so :D [11:26] ok good === hypermist is now known as `hypermist` [11:27] <`hypermist`> don't mind me just changing my nick ;D [11:27] <`hypermist`> by the time this is finished im going to re-try my gpu since i was having issues [11:28] Jensit: okay, i live in a dorm area and we use an unencrypted wireless network to get everyone online. the problem is that every single router uses the same exact ESSID (lets say Free_Wifi) when i run airodump i can see multiple free_wifi under sever different macs. How can i tell my computer which mac to perfer? it keeps bouncing between multiple access points and cant keep a cnonection going [11:28] <`hypermist`> and the thing is. its gunna be hard to do xD [11:28] !info macchanger | DarthEaron2 [11:28] DarthEaron2: macchanger (source: macchanger): utility for manipulating the MAC address of network interfaces.

[11:30] DarthEaron2: you can ask more info to the ##networking guys also howto simplifie your issue [11:31] EriC^: Multiple access point sharing the same SSID are problematic, it keeps bouncing between different points [11:31] I think Windows has the same issue, dunno though [11:31] they all have no password? [11:31] EriC^: well i want to tell my computer which reouter mac to use (whichever has best signal) [11:32] EriC^: they can all emit the same network [11:32] ok [11:32] DarthEaron2: go to network manager's edit connection [11:33] EriC^ if everything is okay it will show no output? [11:33] click on the connection, click edit, then under bssid you should be able to select the access point's mac [11:33] <`hypermist`> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=000al7ru3ms bitcoin and all these days even doge EriC^ ;D [11:33] uber_hulk: yes [11:34] Great [11:34] `hypermist`: you can use the #bitcoin channel also if you like [11:35] <`hypermist`> lotuspsychje: i know :P [11:36] `hypermist`: lol [11:36] cool dog [11:37] <`hypermist`> EriC^: :D its dogecoin :3 [11:40] <`hypermist`> 2hr12min to go [11:40] <`hypermist`> still only 11files [11:43] what is the "correct" way to edit files in /etc, so that changes don't get deleted on upgrades, etc.? [11:44] clausen: wich file you trying to edit exactly? [11:44] lotuspsychje, lots of them: /etc/apparmor.d/* /etc/udev/* and many others [11:44] How can i add a new user to sudoers list [11:45] zacwalls: add said user to the "sudo" group [11:45] <`hypermist`> EriC^: i hopefully if i recover it. i wont do that again Lol [11:45] anybody knows how to fix the not a valid com32r image error? [11:45] ben64; Yes, how? [11:45] when booting from a live usb [11:45] !apparmor | clausen maybe some info here [11:45] clausen maybe some info here: For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [11:45] zacwalls: sudo adduser sudo [11:46] ok [11:46] anyone know a working howto to tightvnc server on ubuntu? [11:46] lotuspsychje, I guess I was asking a more general question: since I routinely edit many files inside /etc (and elsewhere, e.g. /usr/share/initramfs/*)... [11:46] `hypermist`: photorec will be your best bet [11:46] <`hypermist`> lotuspsychje: i know [11:46] lotuspsychje, ... is there a general rule about what will and won't get deleted? [11:46] arcsky: tightvnc isnt reccomended to use for security issues [11:46] lotuspsychje, e.g. if I create a new file, that is safe, but if I edit a packaged file, then that is dangerous? [11:46] !vnc | arcsky [11:46] arcsky: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [11:47] i accidentally deleted my printer, and now when i add it again it doesnt work any more. already tried adding it via CUPS interface, but still no success. worked like a charm before [11:47] lotuspsychje, I suppose this is a Debian policy question [11:47] lotuspsychje: its just local on my home network [11:48] arcsky: is your local network connected to internet also? [11:48] lotuspsychje: yes [11:48] arcsky: then its still a danger to use [11:48] not if i dont have he port open for my WAN connection [11:48] arcsky: just be carefull with remote software [11:49] on private addresses, you drunked? [11:49] arcsky: try ssh instead for more secure working [11:49] its local machiens 10.10.10.0/24 network [11:50] arcsky: you can do what you like mate, im just informing [11:50] nothing new for me [11:50] arcsky, if someone hijacks your web browser, they could break out of the javascript jail by using this service? [11:51] `hypermist`: haha yeah [11:51] clausen: whats your endgoal exactly with the editing /etc etc [11:51] lotuspsychje, I make pretty drastic changes to ubuntu for security reasons [11:52] <`hypermist`> EriC^: this is why you should really think before you do things :| [11:52] !security > clausen think there's an aparmor link there also [11:52] clausen, please see my private message [11:53] lotuspsychje, I want to make sure that my security "enhancements" don't get deleted by Ubuntu updates [11:53] lotuspsychje, this isn't just about security updates -- any kind of update could potentially undo my work [11:53] clausen: well i think that depends what exactly your editing [11:53] ok. weird situation I have here with Banshee. one album in particular, if I try to add it, it completely mucks up the play queue. that actual album is added in the wrong order, and then albums added after it go in the wrong order, and the place in the play queue gets mixed up as well [11:54] the only thing slightly unusual about my setup now is I have .config/banshee-1 linked to an external drive with my music so I can play it on both laptop and desktop and share the same database. but this situation happened on the laptop, just now, without having been switched to/from the desktop recently. [11:54] lotuspsychje, so there is no general rule? I was hoping this would be a general rule: *new* files that I create are never deleted [11:54] (guessing there's probably a Banshee channel somewhere that I don't know about that someone will refer me to) [11:55] lotuspsychje, the only changes that can be destroyed are ones in files that were installed in the system [11:55] clausen: try to pastebin us a specific changement in a dir, to show us an example [11:55] clausen: maybe someone will understand where you going to this way [11:56] lotuspsychje, ok [11:56] :q [11:56] morning people of the sun !!!!! [11:56] i just plugged in an old hdd and i cant access to one of its partition, says access denied [11:56] how can i work arround this ?

[11:59] lotuspsychje, exactly [12:00] lotuspsychje, the partition doesnt seem to be broken or anything, how can i suppress the access requirement in gparted? [12:01] <`hypermist`> EriC^: will it be named something weird or wallet.dat ? [12:02] clausen: maybe this can help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/297412/how-do-i-make-udev-rules-work [12:03] got it lotuspsychje [12:03] `hypermist`: i think it will create a file4532.dat [12:03] thanks [12:03] wdonkey: no sweat mate [12:03] <`hypermist`> okay lotuspsychje === Yukitteru is now known as Yukinotteru [12:03] `hypermist`: something random i guess [12:03] i am setting up ubuntu maas in vitual environment using ubuntu maas but i keep getting stuck at node enlistment process ; it says IP-Config: no response after 60 secs - giving up [12:03] im still sleeping this morning [12:03] plz help [12:03] !maas | Guest57661 [12:03] Guest57661: Metal as a Service is a dynamic server provisioning service for scalability.

[12:05] lotuspsychje: searched for *banshee* and no joy [12:06] lotuspsychje, perhaps I should be reading the debian package maintainer policy manuals?

[12:06] clausen: maybe the #ubuntu-devel guys are more expert in this?

[12:14] thanks guys, will try vuze [12:14] Can someone explain me why I'm having two sizes of cursors with unity on a macbook pro. In unity itself the cursor is tiny, in applications such as firefox the cursor has a normal size. Why's that, how can I fix it? [12:14] `hypermist`: cause it did recover files [12:14] <`hypermist`> I don't even know EriC^ i think im choosing ext4,etc [12:14] `hypermist`: ? [12:14] no [12:14] `hypermist`: why don't you use your backups? [12:14] *nooo [12:14] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: what backups [12:14] <`hypermist`> xD [12:14] `hypermist`: you have to choose ntfs fat etc. for windows partitions [12:14] <`hypermist`> that was the first mistake [12:15] <`hypermist`> one sec EriC^ [12:15] `hypermist`: ok why don't you have backups? If the drive IDE or motor fails, where is your data? [12:15] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: i was upgrading from windows to linux [12:15] I made a ridiculous number of backups on the upgrades/installs I did recently... I backed up stuff I probably will never need [12:15] <`hypermist`> and after i did the isntall i realised ActionParsnip [12:15] including the entirety of my OpenBSD install [12:16] <`hypermist`> EriC^: i chose ex2/ex3 [12:16] <`hypermist`> ext3 * [12:16] <`hypermist`> Mabye i should choose other [12:16] <`hypermist`> cause that says NTFS [12:16] `hypermist`: you should still have backups. Especially before making such a massive change to the system [12:16] DocPlatypus: i have my stuff backed up on an ext hdd i wrote a little script to check if it's mounted and back stuff up [12:16] do yall like artistx distro? [12:16] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: I have nothing to backup to :| [12:16] ( after i inadvertently erased my home dir a couple times ) [12:16] lol [12:16] * `hypermist` stops recovery [12:16] as they say, there are those who have backups, and those who will. [12:16] <`hypermist`> life is getting thinner [12:16] `hypermist`: what spec is the system? [12:16] EriC^: I had an incident on my new-to-me laptop where the system install ate it but /home was okay [12:17] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: 8gb ram amd fx-4100 quadcore [12:17] even though I knew to be careful enough to not reformat /home, I backed it up anyway [12:17] <`hypermist`> and a 1tb hdd [12:17] of course i back everything up anyways, but i wasn't in the habit of backing up /home using linux [12:18] DocPlatypus: that's lucky [12:18] `hypermist`: so you have a system far and away more expensive than my 1.6Ghz with 2Gb RAM but you are seriously trying to tell me you can't afford 40 quid for a 1Tb usb drive...? [12:18] <`hypermist`> a 1tb hdd is like 100$+ [12:18] EriC^: yeah given the way it happened I was sure that /home went tits up too [12:18] <`hypermist`> :| [12:18] but, everything was still there [12:18] <`hypermist`> Plus i have no job :3 [12:18] `hypermist`: is your data worth $100 to you? [12:18] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: if i had a job i would have 9 1tb hdd's :| [12:18] <`hypermist`> Cause i have an hdd bay on my case [12:19] <`hypermist`> that is also fan cooled [12:19] `hypermist`: but if you could give someone $100 and all your data would be fully recovered, would you do it? [12:19] <`hypermist`> No i wouldn't cause i wouldn't have 100$ [12:19] <`hypermist`> :| === icetea_ is now known as windowsthefish [12:20] `hypermist`: but you have quite a decent PC... how did you afford that then. [12:20] `hypermist`: I ran up my balance on Fingerhut to be sure I had plenty of room on external HDDs... I'd go for a regular credit card first as long as you can make minimum payments, so you can get a decent deal at, say, Target or Best Buy [12:20] ActionParsnip: poo-poo happens. maybe he had a job for a while and got the PC then, job took a whiz and PC didn't [12:20] <`hypermist`> DocPlatypus: im 15 :D [12:20] `hypermist`: oh... sigh [12:21] <`hypermist`> my brother gave me pocket money [12:21] <`hypermist`> thats how i afforded it [12:21] ah so [12:21] `hypermist`: I don't have oodles of cash (hence the POS system) but my data is valuable so I take steps to ensure it is safe. I suggest you do similar then you wouldn't be attempting data recovery [12:21] <`hypermist`> I've had 2 WD harddrives die on me [12:21] <`hypermist`> My last hdd is a WD [12:21] <`hypermist`> So if this dies im just gunna be like :( [12:22] Howdy folks [12:22] People love to learn the hard way [12:22] <`hypermist`> EriC^: oh btw i change to the Other. mode [12:22] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: I've had it happen before [12:22] i just used vizu, i keep getting that my file is too large, i do understand, i dowloaded larger files before and i have a 2TB HDD, what should i do? [12:22] `hypermist`: ok [12:22] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: but i have no way of income [12:22] <`hypermist`> but i think my file system is ext4 EriC^ [12:23] `hypermist`: so you can't wash cars for a few bucks... no, no way at all. [12:23] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: you would get attacked. and most likely arrested :D [12:23] `hypermist`: if it was on the windows partition it should be ntfs or fat etc. === windowsthefish is now known as icecream [12:23] `hypermist`: did the partition have a windows installation? [12:24] <`hypermist`> yes [12:24] <`hypermist`> what was the fdisk command again ? [12:24] `hypermist`: it's an example. You can do lots to earn cash dude. Just your 'can't do' attitude is holding you back [12:24] ah, dowloading torrents in ubuntu is very complicated :-( [12:24] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: i have attempted to apply for jobs [12:25] theone1: how? Just open the torrent file with transmission [12:25] <`hypermist`> EriC^: what the fdisk cmd [12:25] `hypermist`: the partition is gone i think so it wont show up [12:25] `hypermist`: sudo fdisk -l [12:25] `hypermist`: testdisk should be able to find it maybe [12:25] ActionParsnip: transmission keeps pausing the downloads, i don't know why, and vizu says my files are too large [12:25] theone1: transmission is part of a default install. Windows users have to manually install a client making it harder than in Ubuntu [12:26] <`hypermist`> EriC^: back to that then [12:26] <`hypermist`> lel [12:26] `hypermist`: try something [12:26] `hypermist`: try to search for random txt in photorec, using ntfs fat etc. [12:26] theone1: what file system are you using to store your torrent files? Does it have free space? [12:26] if stuff shows up then it's seeing your partition [12:27] ActionParsnip: i just formatted a 2TB external HDD with ext4 [12:27] <`hypermist`> or just change it to search for .txt and see if it finds any ? [12:27] `hypermist`: if that works let it run with the custom photorec sig and it should find it [12:27] `hypermist`: yeah [12:27] theone1: ok. What is the output of : lsb_release -a; df -i; uname -a; df -h [12:28] ActionParsnip: should i excecute this command in terminal? [12:28] theone1: use http://pastie.org or similar to host the text [12:28] configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built [12:28] theone1: yes please [12:28] how can solve this issue "configure: error: FreeType development files not found. Fonts will not be built" [12:29] <`hypermist`> shouldn't it have detected headers already EriC^ ? [12:29] sivaraj: make sure you got all the depencies installed that the README sas you nee [12:29] `hypermist`: did you try for txt and ntfs? [12:29] *need [12:29] sivaraj: have you tried putting the error into a search engine online? [12:29] ActionParsnip: http://fpaste.org/174326/14221889/raw/ [12:29] <`hypermist`> EriC^: yep [12:29] <`hypermist`> so im sure im ext4 o-o [12:30] `hypermist`: did the partition have windows? [12:30] <`hypermist`> yea it did [12:30] * EriC^ feels like the guy who has to tell someone santa isn't rea [12:30] <`hypermist`> otherwise if i cannot find it there goes 20$ lol [12:31] theone1: looks good. Are you settling the download to go to /media/theone/Films ? [12:31] <`hypermist`> im doing a testdisk and the photorec EriC^ [12:31] `hypermist`: ok [12:31] ActionParsnip: yes [12:31] `hypermist`: also try foremost [12:32] theone1: did you recursively chown the mount point to your user? [12:32] `hypermist`: did you ever have an issue and came here before? [12:32] ActionParsnip: no, and i am not sure what that means, [12:32] <`hypermist`> EriC^: that mabye. but taht probably was a different issue [12:33] <`hypermist`> When i was trying to figure out how to mass replace stoof [12:34] theone1: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /media/theone [12:34] theone1: so that your user is the owner of the data and can write to it. [12:35] ActionParsnip: hmmm, i am not sure what that means yet, :-( seems complicated [12:35] for those curious about my question (about when is it safe to edit config files without fearing overwrites), this FAQ is quite helpful: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-customizing.en.html [12:36] ActionParsnip: and i still get the same error, file too large, i just tryed the torrent again [12:36] `hypermist`: in testdisk's deep search, you dont get any MS DATA partitions listed? [12:36] theone1: copying and pasting text is complicated? [12:36] <`hypermist`> EriC^: i only just did quick search just then and nothing [12:36] `hypermist`: let it run for a minute or two [12:36] ActionParsnip: no i meant the command and what it changed in transmission [12:36] `hypermist`: try the deep search [12:36] theone1: if that's complicated then you will really struggle with computers [12:36] ActionParsnip: i used to use utorrnet, and i did not face anything like this before :-/ [12:36] <`hypermist`> should i be selecting Intel of EFI GPT EriC^ ? [12:36] Intel [12:37] Good day all :) [12:37] theone1: it changes the ownership of the files recursively from the mount point [12:37] ActionParsnip: ok [12:37] `hypermist`: which is selected when you the menu appears? [12:37] <`hypermist`> EriC^: what do you mean. [12:37] what channel is for ubuntu social talk? :) [12:37] `hypermist`: when the menu first appears which one is selected? [12:37] intel or efi ? [12:37] theone1: it sounds like the file system is mounted read or something like that. What is the output of: mount [12:37] <`hypermist`> Intel [12:38] `hypermist`: ok, use Intel [12:38] <`hypermist`> this thing could take hours lol :D [12:38] `hypermist`: let it run for a few minutes [12:38] ActionParsnip: http://fpaste.org/174331/18945714/raw/ [12:38] <`hypermist`> i let it run to 10% last time and it said linux all the way through it EriC^ [12:38] theone1: Linux can mount file systems however you want. Windows just presents it to you. No control. Can you make files on the partition using other applications? [12:38] `hypermist`: the quick or deep search? [12:39] <`hypermist`> Deep [12:39] <`hypermist`> when we first started this [12:39] ok [12:39] ztealmax, #ubuntu-offtopic [12:39] theone1: did you mu ally mount the USB partition? [12:40] *manually [12:40] ActionParsnip: its ok relax, this is too complicated for me, i am not a programmer, i just want to watch movies on my new ubuntu, i will download my files on mac and copy them to ubuntu. thanks for your help :-) [12:42] `hypermist`: try sudo apt-get install gpart [12:42] `hypermist`: then sudo gpart /dev/sdX , it tries to guess partitions === mish is now known as Mish_ [12:43] !find gpart [12:43] Found: gparted, gpart, svgpart [12:43] `hypermist`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Gpart [12:43] Hmm.

When issuing sudo service hyperion-x11 start it does not return to console.

I'm primary looking for security "fixes" and integrity protection =) [12:50] <`hypermist`> lol it says Type ext4 in System monitor EriC^ [12:50] Silverfisken: get familiar with your system and over time start disable all services you don't really need [12:51] jatt: Thanks, will do =) [12:51] `hypermist`: windows can't read ext filesystem without adding programs to it, so it'd have to be on a ntfs or fat etc. partition [12:51] Silverfisken: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and get fully updated [12:51] <`hypermist`> All i know is that it says Type ext4 EriC^ [12:52] `hypermist`: yeah that lists the current filesystems [12:52] ( the mounted ones ) [12:52] <`hypermist`> EriC^: and i know im very tired. and hope i can get my wallet lel [12:53] Hello, I installed xfce on top of Ubuntu Server. When I try to start Synaptic, X freezes. I get into tty1, and press Ctrl+C (because I haven't had any better idea yet), it doesn't end just Synaptic, but the entire X session. An yclues? [12:54] ActionParsnip: Any other ideas? It works if I execute it in terminal, but as soon as I implement it in the start-stop-daemon it will not run in background and return to terminal [12:56] <`hypermist`> still scanning i think EriC^ [12:57] <`hypermist`> wait a minnit EriC^ it says harddrive isa 976gb and avaibile 922 and used 4.1 where is the rest going o-o [12:57] reserved space [12:57] ActionParsnip, Thanks, doing that right now =) [12:58] <`hypermist`> Ben64: *magic* [12:58] <`hypermist`> lol [12:58] <`hypermist`> :D [12:58] um, no. reserved space [12:58] <`hypermist`> Im tired. im trying to make jokes :D [13:08] In other words: what's the meaning of this: http://i.imgur.com/cnqqRud.jpg and hwo can I fix it? === mish_ is now known as Mish|unterwegs [13:10] Hi [13:10] bennypr0fane: you have to run "startxfce4" first [13:10] bennypr0fane: to actually start the Xfce session [13:10] I insralled ubuntu along windows by creating one swap partition and one primary partition on / [13:10] Is it alright way? [13:11] What could be broken when no usernames appears to gdm at all? [13:11] bennypr0fane: few questions. 1. if is a server, why did you install a gui? 2. why do you need a gui? 3. why do you need synaptic? 4. how are you starting the gui? 5. how are you starting synaptic? [13:11] uber_hulk: that works [13:12] And gdm doesn't redraw itself properly. [13:12] Ben64: great [13:13] via terminal how can i ssh a windows pc? [13:13] brainwash: I did start the session with startx. I started Synaptic from the Gui (click in Xfce menu, authentication prompt...). It worked a few times, now it doesn't [13:13] ssh user@windowspc [13:13] muppis: gdm is the gnome diplay manager, try to ask in #ubuntu-gnome [13:13] zacwalls: ssh TO windows? windows doesn't have ssh, you might be able to install it with cygwin or something [13:13] brainwash, ok. [13:14] so like joshua@192.168.254.40 [13:14] Ben64: this should answer questions 4 and 5. How are questions 1-3 relevant to the solution for my problem? [13:14] in every update i have to follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022411 to make my ethernet work. How can i avoid doing this ? [13:14] ben64 Is winscp okay? [13:14] bennypr0fane: because if you want a gui, its easiest to install the desktop version === [Arab] is now known as PhysicsMatters [13:15] zacwalls: you need to be more specific, which OS do you want to SSH from and to [13:15] zacwalls: there are ssh servers for Windows but it's used for SFTP mainly [13:15] SFTP is what i want [13:16] zacwalls: there are SFTP servers for Windows. [13:16] ben64, I want to ssh via terminal from ubuntu to win [13:16] Ben64: well that's not how i did it. now I'm here [13:16] zacwalls: Windows doesn't use SSH like Linux does. [13:16] install ssh on win, then ssh user@windowspc [13:16] zacwalls: great, so you don't need Ubuntu support. Seek support in ##windows or google.com then for that you need [13:16] I noticed [13:16] bennypr0fane: according to your screenshot, you are being asked for the password in the virtual terminal [13:17] Ben64, Yes I do [13:17] zacwalls: ##windows can advise an SFTP server for Windows. You can then connect from any OS and transfer files [13:17] <`hypermist`> Hmm gpart still says begin scan [13:17] brainwash, yes, while what it should do is ask for it in the gui [13:17] bennypr0fane: don't use sudo for graphical applications === johnnie is now known as funkymuppet [13:18] hello everbody [13:18] bennypr0fane: install policykit-1-gnome to get the graphical password prompt [13:18] hello [13:18] Ben64: in Trusty and later it's fine. Gksudo isn't in a default install [13:18] Ben64: that's sound advice, but I didn't do that, I started Synaptic by clicking in the menu [13:19] not according to your screenshot [13:19] brainwash, ah, that's probably it [13:19] i am brazilian and have a problem with java instalation on ubuntu [13:19] gksudo for graphical su [13:20] thiago-prado: WebUpd8 has a PPA to easily install Oracle Java [13:20] jatt: gksu isn't in a default install since Trusty [13:21] Jatt: polkit has been fixed so that it doesn't cause issues [13:21] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: knowing its probably gone forever :| [13:21] brainwash: you wouldn't happen to know what's the command for starting policykit? [13:21] still gksu is a good alternative (in my case i used it to be able to run synaptic from a menu) [13:21] `hypermist` people love to learn the hard way. [13:22] <`hypermist`> Oh well. there goes probably 20$ [13:22] jatt: why synaptic? Software centre is in a default install [13:22] i love synaptic [13:22] :-) [13:22] * bennypr0fane loves synaptic too [13:22] ActionParsnip i try add WebUpd8 and show me this error: cannot install ppa:webupd8/team/java [13:22] jatt: I guess [13:23] * bennypr0fane doesn't understand why people shouldn't be allowed to use non-defaults [13:23] thiago-prado: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8/team/java [13:23] ? it's ok to use non-defaults, if you know what you are doing [13:24] bennypr0fane: they are allowed to use what they wish. It's the beauty of the OS [13:24] Hi, I'm having issues with lightdm not starting. What packages can I be missing? I have lightdm-gtk-greeter installed, do I need anything more? [13:24] bennypr0fane: where did you read that you have to use the defaults? [13:24] <`hypermist`> ActionParsnip: i might just say its gone. Cause nothing seems to be finding it :| [13:25] ActionParsnip: someone wrote: "why synaptic? Software centre is in a default install" [13:25] bennypr0fane: yes I did [13:25] ActionParsnip Yes sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8/team/java in other computer its done, but here error rsrsrsrs [13:25] bennypr0fane: I was asking the reason why... Try reading what I wrote, not what you think I wrote [13:26] Rovanion: look at the log files in /var/log/lightdm [13:26] thiago-prado: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer [13:27] So anyway, I was trying to get the "open as administrator" option in Thunar file manager. It has this sort of add-ons manager for that, but no add-ons there to install. Would anyone happen to know which package I would need for that? [13:27] thiago-prado: use TAB and ENTER to accept the license [13:27] brainwash: No such file or folder. [13:27] ugh [13:28] Rovanion: can you start lightdm manuall? sudo start lightdm [13:28] i forgot to back up my home dir in a while and i just erased it [13:28] manually [13:28] brainwash: Unknown job. [13:28] Hi everyone, so for the first time ever my Ubuntu 14 desktop rebooted yesterday while it was under a 85% cpu load. [13:28] Rovanion: then you should actually install lightdm [13:28] Rovanion: lightdm packages needed are in a default install. ... [13:28] Can someone help me try to figure out why it rebooted? Not sure what to look for in the syslog.. too much stuff to parse through [13:28] brainwash: Odd, lightdm-gtk-greeter does not seem to depend on lightdm. [13:29] Rovanion: well, it is odd, maybe worth to file a bug report [13:29] guys, any way to remove gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) .... blah blah from apt-key list ? [13:29] Neldogz: check syslog [13:30] Neldogz: grep the files in /var/log for the date of the crash. Will reduce the data to read [13:30] ActionParsnip: ok [13:30] Now running sudo start lightdm results in Job failed to start. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9866513/ [13:30] ActionParsnip, thank you doing that now [13:30] Rovanion: sudo service lightdm start [13:30] Rovanion: not sudo start lightdm [13:30] EriC^^: [13:30] start: Job failed to start [13:31] brainwash: policy kit is what it was! thanks!

[13:31] EriC^^: "sudo start" is the upstart way to start a job [13:31] bennypr0fane: awesome :) [13:31] guys, any way to remove gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) .... blah blah from apt-key list ? [13:31] Rovanion: what is the output of : cat /etc/issue [13:32] arun: man apt-key [13:32] Interesting, it actually doesn't depend on lightdm: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/lightdm-gtk-greeter [13:32] Rovanion: you will have to configure lightdm to use the gtk-greeter [13:32] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS [13:32] <`hypermist`> EriC^^: it just kept saying. begin scan [13:32] ActionParsnip: Thankyou for you atemption, java installed with sucess now :) [13:33] ActionParsnip, in Windows systems we can usually refer to an event id to try and determine the root of a crash, reboot etc.. What keywords can i search for in the syslog besides fail, reboot, restart?? Nothing of importance is coming up [13:33] Rovanion: the unity-greeter does not depend on lightdm either, it only recommends lightdm [13:33] blaatmeister_: Why would it be that way? Can the greeter be used without lightdm? [13:33] ActionParsnip do you from american ? [13:33] Neldogz: reboots in Windows are caused by lots of things. You can't just search for one number and find the cause [13:34] thiago-prado: UK [13:34] install kernel-crash-dump in case the kernel is the culprit [13:34] ActionParsnip, yes pretty much you can if you know what event id's to look for [13:34] So how do I configure lightdm to use the gtk-greeter? dpkg-reconfigure only shows me the switcher between different dm:s.

We use Nimsoft in order to manage it all [13:37] Neldogz: you need to grep the files to find what you need. If the server is physical and you have ilo / drac then logs there may help [13:38] ActionParsnip, thanks I will take a closer look [13:38] Neldogz: or check logs in the vsphere client to see what happened there too [13:38] Neldogz: you can also check esx logs / storage logs around the same time too (if it's virtual) [13:39] ActionParsnip, It's a physical box so I should only need to look within /var/log [13:40] Neldogz: does it have ilo or drac? === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [13:46] <`hypermist`> woops [13:49] hi there, i got a failing disk which i imaged using dd_rescue. now i want to modify the filesystem and bevore doing so, i would like to somehow create a snapshot which holds only the modified bytes. i have no free space to copy this 3TB file [13:56] hi [13:57] can anyone help me with installing 14.04.1 LTS?

[14:00] no [14:00] it's through the mobo [14:00] gparted still shows my RAID setup [14:00] That sounds like a non-usable-fakeraid-controller-under-ubuntu then. [14:00] "still shows your raid setup"? Does it show one or two disks? [14:01] guys, any way to remove gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) .... blah blah from apt-key list ?

[14:02] the raid was working fine when I had ubuntu 12 installed [14:02] Hi there, I'm trying to grab dv from my dv video camera (I have a firewire pci card). As far as I read, I need to enable raw1394 via modprob, but I can't do it : "modprobe: FATAL: Module raw1394 not found.". I'm on lubuntu 14.10 [14:02] um, i'm not sure exactly where it would show that. but on my ubuntu desktop right now it shows a 1.2 TB volume on the left [14:03] ubuntunoob: Third time: does it show one or two disks in gparted? [14:03] like i said i dont know where it shows that [14:03] where do i go to find that [14:03] ubuntunoob: "in gparted". === solstice is now known as Guest66711 [14:04] it shows a /dev/mapper/isw_bgbggjbbgc_thefuture disk along with 3 disks of 596.17 GiB and a disk of 3.76 GiB [14:05] ubuntunoob: And how many disks does your computer have, in total, physically? === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [14:05] the 596.17 GiBs which were associated with the RAID 0 show unallocated partitions of the total disk size [14:05] like i said, 3 physical hard drives. 2 of which were used in raid 0, 1 in no raid association [14:05] unallocated partition* [14:06] i can access the RAID 0 drive through ubuntu and all my data is still there [14:06] there's a boot folder in the root RAID 0 drive with grub in there [14:08] How do i make sure my home dir is encrypted now? [14:09] Hey everyone; I am setting up a lab with about 30 laptops and several desktops. I would like to automate the management of these computers, specifically wiping them, reinstalling ubuntu with my custom packages and configs, installing virtual machines and managing them, as well as updating the software on these computers. What is the best way for me to go about doing this? The management part could use something like Fabric, Chef, Puppet, [14:12] I have .Privvate [14:12] In my home dir === PhysicsMatters is now known as dawuda [14:13] ubuntunoob: If you can see three drives, then that confirms that you dont have a hardware raid controller. [14:13] in every update i have to follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1022411 to make my ethernet work. How can i avoid doing this ? [14:13] That mans encrypted? [14:13] yes, i do not have a hardware raid controller. my RAID is set up through the mobo === dawuda is now known as PhysicsMatters [14:13] ubuntunoob: "through the mobo" does not specify wether it is a hardware or software raid setup. [14:13] I have a very small video to edit. I am looking for video editor. Which one should I use? They all look the same. [14:14] ubuntunoob: Thats why I asked you those questions. [14:14] there is no hardware controlling my raid setup apart from the chips that come with my mobo [14:14] pitivi/openshot? [14:14] i didnt buy a RAID card and install it into my mobo and hook my drives up to it [14:15] ubuntunoob: There are raid controllers that are on the mobo. so "chips on the mobo" does not mean a thing. [14:15] bekks: ? [14:15] i've been told b efore that what i'm using is considered a fakeRAID because i'm not using a dedicated RAID controller [14:15] that it's controlled via software on the mobo [14:15] How check if home is encrypted, bekks? [14:16] ubuntunoob: Correct. But referring to a software raid as "being a raid using the mobo" is wrong, technically. [14:16] ok, sorry then [14:16] ubuntunoob: I dont know, since I dont use encryption myself. [14:16] what can i do to fix this? [14:16] ubuntunoob: To fix what exactly? [14:17] my system boots into a GRUB error terminal saying it can't locate a hex value [14:17] ubuntunoob: Can you tell us the full and exact error message? [14:20] hey guys I'm having a problem with my wifi [14:20] it disconnect every now and then I don't know why [14:21] ubuntunewbie1204 : I'm using kino. It's stable enough for me... [14:22] maybe my dhcp bail is too short [14:23] Myrkur: you mean your DHCP lease time? [14:23] daftykins: yeah that I didn't know the term in english [14:24] guys, any way to remove gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=2d) .... blah blah from apt-key list ? [14:25] arun: yeah, saying 'blah blah' is gonna clue us in :) how about sharing a pastebin? [14:25] well it doesn't seem to be a dhcp problem === corey84-- is now known as Corey84 [14:25] daftykins: http://dpaste.com/2JW8DT0 [14:28] hi all [14:29] arun: one suggestion online, rename your ~/.gnupg folder if present [14:30] seems to be a potential issue from keeping the same /home between distros / upgrades [14:30] daftykins: rename to what please? [14:31] arun: anything but, so as to rule it out of the problem (i.e. instead of deleting) === corey84-- is now known as Corey84 [14:35] hi [14:35] daftykins: I did it sir, but it didn't fix the issue [14:35] my ubunto no installing app [14:36] arun: how about in /root's directory? since you're running as root [14:36] xbox: ok, what's happening? [14:36] version 10.10 [14:36] hi all [14:36] live cd [14:37] yes [14:38] daftykins: yes I have done in both home and root [14:38] xbox: you're joking right? [14:38] !10.10 [14:38] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [14:38] 3 years dead [14:39] kkkk [14:39] what? oh [14:39] xbox: run 12.04.5, 14.04.1 or 14.10 for a supported release :) [14:39] (preferably 14.04.1) [14:40] mi user in live usb xbox 360 [14:40] xell reload [14:41] what distro is recommennded if im used to ubuntu and its terminal but dont like unity/gnome .. [14:41] xubuntu [14:42] Anteac: or lubuntu or kubuntu .. [14:42] kk [14:42] or MATE edition too! [14:42] xbox 360 run ubunto 10.10 [14:42] live cd [14:43] xbox: if you are trying to ask a question, you're not making sense. what language do you speak? [14:43] wait those are 3 different names xD so difficult to pick one [14:43] brazil [14:43] !br | xbox [14:43] xbox: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br " sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [14:44] Anteac: lubuntu in my opinion is super low end for old hardware, looks pretty ugly - xubuntu is a nice compromise, kubuntu uses KDE and is pretty heavy on the graphics just like unity, then MATE is like old versions of ubuntu before unity came along [14:45] im gonna run a linux vbox with my win7 host in seamless mode, my pc can handle xubuntu i guess [14:45] kubuntu i mean [14:47] Anteac: xubuntu would be far more bearable in a VM ;) [14:48] okay gonna play around with it [14:50] Hardtail: hey bro === Snowstormer is now known as cats === corey84-- is now known as Corey84 [14:58] I was able to successfully install 14.10 by passing parameters nomodeset depmod... [14:58] anybody run maya on Ubuntu? [14:58] on reboot it didn't keep these parameters and I can't get into grub boot to add them. [14:58] melray: hold left shift at boot [14:59] I have booted back into the live cd however don't have any idea how to access the grub config on the hard drive to add this? [14:59] melray: no that's a bad approach, hold left shift at boot to get the GRUB menu, then add them as a one time thing [14:59] boot in, then get some proper graphics drivers installed [14:59] daftykins: Thanks but shift don't work...I have had to hit escape then F6 to get to the option [15:00] with the live cd [15:00] i'm talking about on your install though, yeah? [15:00] laptop or desktop? [15:00] So I presume it would be the same for boot...yes I understand [15:00] laptop [15:00] nvidia GTS 360M [15:00] 360m 0o odd [15:00] Hardtail, apparently autodesk hasn't seen fit to support *nix except for redhat. [15:01] melray: try both shift keys. is it possible you're just doing it too late? [15:01] I know which driver to install after I get booted in [15:01] is that an optimus system? [15:02] daftykins: No an older Toshiba [15:02] melray: optimus is hybrid graphics intel+nvidia, not a brand [15:02] Ahhh...no just nvidia in the Geforce 6 - 7 group [15:03] hrmm, there's really no good reason why the shift keys wouldn't work. [15:03] daftykins: I see what is happening when trying to boot nouveau driver causes a gpu lockup [15:03] yeah [15:04] daftykins: No way to edit the grub config file(s) and add the kernel parameters? [15:04] there is, but that's a wrong approach really. would've been nicer to do it the proper way [15:04] !chroot [15:04] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [15:05] you can follow the above from a live session then edit the relevant config [15:05] daftykins: Ok thanks for the information will try shift first...once booted it will be easy enough to get the nvidia drivers installed [15:06] yeah you don't need to tell me, i'm a regular volunteer :P [15:07] cfhowlett Hmm ok thanks [15:08] hi [15:08] I'm running ubuntu on AWS [15:09] hroi: a full question on one line would be good [15:09] pretty sure we don't support amazon instances though [15:09] I need to install a desktop, only I'm a little surprised that apt-get install xubuntu-desktop takes 1.4 GB [15:09] something wrong with my choice... shouldn't it be way lighter [15:09] hroi, yep, something wrong there. [15:10] just install xfce perhaps [15:11] daftykins, cfhowlett : amazon EC2 uses ubuntu LTS server [15:11] I'll try xfce only [15:11] hroi, no idea about it, thus my silence ... [15:11] hroi, oh wait ... [15:12] hroi, no even from server, 1.4 gb is wrong. [15:12] hroi: yeah but they modify it from what i understand. [15:12] 2gb is light [15:12] hroi: try "sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop" [15:13] daftykins, cfhowlett : lol... when I do apt-get install xfce4 it reports 209MB only [15:13] hroi, if all you need is the interface, sudo apt-get xfce4 [15:13] hroi: or install "xubuntu-core" [15:14] brainwash, right... maybe that was it.... [15:14] brainwash, no such package [15:15] hroi: oh, it's possible that -core is not available in 14.04 [15:15] hey read this... the end of doc http://complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-12-04-server/ubuntu-12-04-server-how-to-install-a-gui [15:15] it says xubuntu desktop will take 1.4GB [15:15] I would say, why just not install the thing? 2gb is not that much disk space for a desktop environmment [15:16] jatt: it's a VPS :P [15:16] hroi: X doesn't even belong on a hosted server. [15:16] what are you trying to achieve? [15:16] daftykins, it does if you have a Nvidia GRID GPU attached to the hosted server [15:17] that's a ridiculous statement [15:17] daftykins, we are doing GPU rendering tests... also not every 3D application manufacturer gives you great options for configuring the renderer [15:18] daftykins, I agree with what you are saying... its true... but does not on the fly facilitate bug checking [15:18] wat [15:18] you have a gpu attached but... do you have a monitor? [15:18] daftykins, if everyone ... such as autodesk was command line oriented [15:19] jatt, we use the GPU for 3D ray tracing [15:19] didn't even think autodesk did products on Linux [15:19] jatt, trust me... it can save time... from time to time to fire up the desktop with nx or other [15:19] you are doing heavy stuff then, then why comply about 2gb disk space? [15:20] this ^^^ +1 [15:20] jatt, no complaints... just felt like something wrong... it turns out that package actually is that big [15:20] :) [15:20] so all is good [15:20] it's not a big surprise to me given a -desktop would have libre office, X - all that junk [15:20] full requirements of xfce are 5gb, ~2gb is the minimal install [15:21] yeah... I think I will just install xfce I only need it for testing not to write word docs :D [15:21] thanks! === Mish|unterwegs is now known as Mish|rumwuseln === bfiller is now known as bfiller_ === bfiller_ is now known as bfiller [15:29] Hello. For some reason Firefox crashes randomly on Ubuntu 14.04. It has no repeating pattern for doing that and I don't have any extra addons, but the default 4 that are from Ubuntu installed. Any hints how to deal with it? [15:30] kejt: Run Firefox from command line, wait until it crashes, see errors [15:30] kejt: out of the blue, try to run a session of memtest+ [15:30] to rule out any ram problems [15:30] theadmin, will do now. Apachez, will try in a second. Thank you. [15:30] clean browser profiles are always good, too [15:31] kejt: (also, if you do go the memtest route, you should run that for quite a few hours so that will take a while) [15:31] daftykins: Thanks for the help got the drivers installed [15:31] theadmin, yeap, I was kinda supposing that, that's why I saved it for later. :) [15:32] melray: boots normally now huh? you'd need to remove nomodeset from the GRUB config again ideally if you added it [15:34] theadmin, is it possible to be because of some caches or something? Because it didn't restore the session when I tried to open it with the terminal and for some reason it doesn't crash now at all... [15:35] daftykins: Yeah I guess shift doesn't work with the live cd but does on a intalled grub boot [15:36] melray: yeah that was my point from the beginning :) were you trying shift with the live session? perhaps that's where the confusion came from :> [15:38] daftykins: Yes sorry just getting familiar with linux. Been taking the free edx.org course. It is basic, but basic is good when you don't have the basics down. :-) [15:39] the nvidia-drivers are not showing up in my aptitude search [15:39] melray: oh absolutely, it's a good course that. i've yet to sign up for v2, definitely helps fill in gaps for everyone i think [15:39] I guess I'm supposed to add some repo? [15:39] hroi: only for newer versions. but as we said you're using AWS then it's not official. "apt-get update && apt-cache search nvidia" [15:40] you should see nvidia-304, nvidia-319, nvidia-331 at least [15:40] or just install nvidia-current [15:40] no, that installs 304 which is ancient [15:40] bad move. [15:40] yeah... but they are not in the sources [15:41] 'they'? [15:41] nvidia-current nvidia-3... not in repo ... I think I'm supposed to source some other repo [15:41] dont know whichone === dormito_ is now known as dormito [15:42] hroi: follow amazon's advice maybe. [15:42] Or system settings software & updates then the tap for additional drivers...that *should* detect what you need unless as daftykins stated the drivers are a special case [15:42] *tab* [15:42] melray: not a desktop :) [15:43] melray: would you be able to help me with partition problems involving a windows 7 RAID 0 setup? [15:43] if you did an upgrade along the way, you may have to go into the repo's list and re-enable 3rd party software [15:43] ubuntunoob: No sorry I have no skills in that area [15:43] daftykins, melray :: here's the apt sources list : http://www.pasteall.org/56308 [15:43] Isn't this pretty standard sources [15:43] ubuntunoob: you should address the channel, not pick on individual users. you can't use fakeRAID that Windows is setup on, with Ubuntu [15:44] I dont think amazon is running any special sources [15:44] i think you're wrong there [15:44] ubuntu is on a separate drive not in the fakeraid [15:44] ubuntunoob: what are you trying to achieve then? [15:45] hroi: yes they're running their own repos there, so the packages they have are up to them. [15:46] daftykins, yeah it loks so [15:46] it could be just a mirror... but we cant tell [15:46] yeah maybe a mirror with some removed [15:46] if you don't get anything from "apt-cache search nvidia" then there y'go [15:46] i have a windows 7 installation on 2 drives in fakeraid 0 and ubuntu on a single drive not in any raid association. i recently tried to upgrade ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 14 LTS and i think the iso was corrupt because it failed installation and wiped my GRUB bootloader and bootmgr. i just installed 14 and got it working with a new iso but my fakeraid 0 is gone. however, before i installed it i copied the windows 100mb boot partition in [15:46] to the drive the linux. now gparted shows 3 drives, 2 of which with unallocated data and then the third drive with linux containing the windows boot partition [15:47] i just need to know how to set up the 2 drives back into RAID 0 with the stripe size and then point it to the windows 100mb boot partition so i can get back into my old installation- i just don't know how to do it or if it's possible [15:47] ubuntunoob: not an ubuntu issue whatsoever. go to ##windows [15:47] ty [15:48] you can change raid in bios? === Guest37976 is now known as pmcgowan [15:49] ablest1980: it's not on topic here either way :) [15:49] :) [15:50] given as it's fakraid and a Windows issue [15:50] *fakeraid [15:58] hi [15:58] lo [15:58] Hi anyone here ?

[16:03] you shouldn't be logged in as root at all [16:03] pratik, sudo apt-get install xfce4 [16:03] No , it works pretty well , does not heat [16:03] dupingping what's the output of cat /etc/issue [16:03] on windows [16:03] dupingping logging in as root is far from wise [16:03] it's 12.04.5 lts. [16:03] yes. [16:03] but [16:03] fedora 20 is support that. [16:03] pratik: I believe it's called xfpanel [16:04] dupingping, ubuntu is not fedora. [16:04] sure. [16:04] but [16:04] dupingping: ubuntu isn't fedora [16:04] dupingping: try and keep your messages to fewer lines please. [16:04] yes [16:04] dupingping, and you CAN run root ... it's just stupid and dangerous to do so. as it would be in fedora. [16:04] dupingping: use the user you made at install and use sudo. You'll be fine [16:04] I tried to lock my screen as logged in root. [16:04] No , it works pretty well , does not heat on Windows 7, but as soon as i start using Ubuntu then it heats like as if i am playing game , in fact i never play game , i m a normal user. [16:04] At Ubuntu 12.04.5 and Fedora. [16:05] So Fedora20 is running well. [16:05] But Ubuntu. [16:05] pratik: does the system have a make and model [16:05] I think that it's gnome-screensaver problem. [16:05] dupingping, fedora is offtopic here. please stop talking abouut it. [16:05] dupingping: the community doesn't advise or support logging in as root. [16:05] I'm talking for Ubuntu. [16:05] dupingping: see above [16:06] What is an issue with Ubuntu overheating my lappie ? I didnt get it , sorry if you think i am wasting time ,but i could not get this sort out. [16:06] Then gnome-screensaver is not support root? [16:06] pratik: does the system have a make and model? [16:06] dupingping: logging in to X as root is not advised or supprted [16:06] dupingping: You should not be logging in as root, period. Ubuntu disables it by default, for good reason. So if you want to go against the defaults, you are kind of on your own. [16:07] I dont know what is make , model , Ok its Sony Vaio E series 15 inch lappie [16:07] yes, but [16:07] I think that you can help me with good security. [16:08] dupingping: it's not good for security and is why it's disabled. I'm sure that the developers of Ubuntu know a LOT more about Linux and security and have set the OS up in such a way on purpose. But you know better....right [16:08] dupingping, running as root is BAD SECURITY!!!! [16:09] pratik: can you pastebin the output of: sudo dmidecode -t 1; lsb_release -a; uname -a [16:09] dupingping: the OS doesn't work so well as root because it is configured to run as a user using sudo. This is on purpose [16:10] Anyways you built an amazing Operating System , I dumped Windows forever and switched forever to Ubuntu.By the way I am software developer by Profession , a LAMP stack PHP dev. [16:10] Right, Trusty kernel question. Recent kernels seem to have changed something where '/[aio]' shows up for as a deleted file in use, when checked with 'checkrestart', even after a clean reboot. This is true for mysql, and nginx. Has anyone else seen this? [16:10] pratik: that's not what I asked for [16:11] @ActionParsnip , please dont be rude ! [16:12] pratik: I wasn't.

[18:31] after windows is installed, I'll reinsert the drive with ubuntu, and the bios will subsequently boot from it, which will bring up grub. ideally, I'd like to be able to select booting from the other drive - which has windows on it - from the grub menu. [18:32] HEROnymous, that would be easy then, boot ubuntu, sudo update-grub # and windows should be added, but not sure windows boots correctly as it expects to be the only hdd [18:33] !gub [18:33] !grub [18:33] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[18:40] I've got ssh on it, and I don't really need to reinstall it. It was more of a hypothetical [18:40] I'd probably just actually walk upstairs if I wanted to reinstall it [18:40] GeekDude: you can't do it realistically without access to the console outside of the OS [18:41] despite what people are saying [18:41] I'd imagine there'd be someway to install it onto a second partition while I'm still running my current installation [18:41] then set grub to boot the second partition and reboot [18:42] GeekDude: debootstrap for example, but it's not an easy option [18:42] hence "realistic" [18:43] huh. Yeah, I'll probably just walk upstairs later [18:43] That does look like what I was looking for, so thanks [18:43] Hi, my .Xresources is not affecting apps opened from launcher in kubuntu.

[19:50] funkster: How does a lightbulb (www.lifx.co) have anything to do with ubuntu (thats the first link on google) === stephen is now known as Guest69263 [19:52] hello [19:52] DJones: it doesn't nor did I say it did. I am trying to connect to wireless networks and run a access point ON ubuntu, with one network device. lifx runs linux and does similar tasks thats why i mentioned it. === ubuntu is now known as Guest58472 [19:55] funkster: ok, so why say "Google" immediatley after you were as asked "What is lifx" [19:56] funkster: Please point to specific links rather than just saying "google" they have lots of links, most are irrelevant to the question aty hanbd === odranoel is now known as odranoeL [20:08] funkster we don't know what lifx is, we can help you faster if you tell us [20:08] i mentioned lifx does WHAT i already explained. [20:09] knowing what lifx does helps no one, i already explain what im looking to do, i mentioned it in passing as, curiosity of how are they doing that. [20:09] funkster great, so what's lifx exactly [20:09] google [20:09] so lifx is google? [20:10] you are annoying. [20:10] ooooh i want one [20:11] Hi [20:11] Because of a windows update, the Grub bootloader got turned off again, and I want to re-enable it [20:11] !fixgrub | ben_g_ [20:11] ben_g_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:12] The previous time this happened, it turned out that Grub was still installed, but in the boot order the windows bootloder was in front of Grub (or something similar) [20:12] ben_g_: do you have uefi? [20:13] funkster: As I said, google first link for lifx is a lightbulb, if you're not prepared to help by giving detailed links & information, I doubt you'll get any support [20:13] EriC^^: yes [20:14] funkster: We cant help you unless you're willing to provide relevant information [20:14] ben_g_: change the boot order with sudo efibootmgr, type sudo efibootmgr -v to get the list, then sudo efibootmgr -o [20:15] EriC^^: is there also a way to do that from within windows? [20:15] ben_g_: i guess, not sure how though [20:15] (I'm currently stuck in Windows) [20:15] ben_g_: do you have a live usb? [20:15] ben_g_: press esc when the pc boots, and select ubuntu instead of os manager [20:15] EriC^^: I should still have one lying around somewhere [20:16] ben_g_: you should still be able to get into ubuntu somehow using a key when the pc boots [20:16] ok [20:16] I'll try that, brb [20:16] ok [20:18] Hi, I updated on friday I think, updates to some display things (sorry I'll try to remember), and since then certain programs will maximise, but not be visible (they are running), ideas? [20:19] hey room [20:22] hi folks [20:22] whats the way to safely unplug usb device? [20:23] or unlike win i can simply physically remove it? [20:23] hi Fun [20:23] Fun: could unmount it from your file manager, there should be an ejection symbol next to the drive location. [20:23] cool thanks [20:24] also whats the close enough analog of Visual Studio in Linux? [20:24] Fun: at least that's recommended, if you feel like just ripping it out you can live your life how you choose. There are also other ways to unmount it. [20:24] Fun: in the unity launcher, right click the usb drive symbol and select eject/safely remove [20:24] yes I used disk unplug :) [20:25] ty [20:25] EriC^^: There is no way I can boot into Ubuntu by holding down a key during boot with the Windows bootloader active, but I found the live USB and I'm in the live version now. [20:25] So what were the commands to change the bootloader again? [20:26] ben_g: ok type sudo efibootmgr -v [20:26] I am having a problem booting a usb drive that i've used rufus to prepare and try to boot, i am able to change my secure boot settings to get into grub, but when I attempt booting a menu selection it just black screen or returns to a frozen grub menu, i've tried using the "nosplash" and saw a "unable to terminate efi servies" before the screen froze, i've tried using nosplash/noefi boot paramaters and still have no luck booting [20:27] Fun: can check list sites like this, then check your repos to see if it's readily available: http://alternativeto.net/software/visual-studio/?platform=linux [20:27] EriC^^: sudo: efibootmgr: command not found [20:27] sudo apt-get install efibootmgr [20:28] Fun: can also check your repositories using apt-cache search keyword and you may find something useful, synaptic and software center have groups you can search through. [20:28] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9871640/ [20:29] kittyfirekitty, try using the bootsequence to make the usb device boot first in the uefi/bios [20:30] BluesKaj_: I have win8.1, so when i say that i've gotten grub to load i'm past that point [20:30] ben_g: sudo efibootmgr -o 2001,0000,0003,0004,2003,2002 [20:31] How do I enable port 22 for ssh? [20:31] havoc_hive: you mean how do you install openssh? [20:32] yes kittyfirekitty but grub won't show an uninstalled OS, the device has be first in the boot sequnce in order to boot [20:32] nothing, it's the default [20:32] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9871692/ [20:32] EriC^^: Should the timeout be ? [20:32] *0 [20:33] BluesKaj_: grub shows whats in the grub menu.lst config file, i'm familiar with the legacy grub but am not having luck with efi grub [20:33] BluesKaj_: i have not uninstalled any os, i'm tring to boot a live usb drive so i can descide if i want to install or not [20:34] ben_g: yeah it's ok [20:34] ok [20:34] EriC^^: Im using Putty from a test terminal to connect ssh to ubuntu in vm [20:34] ben_g: try to restart === rafa is now known as Guest55886 [20:34] EriC^^: and i think there is a closed port 22 cause it says access denied or something like that [20:35] kittyfirekitty, like I said don't look for the usb device in grub , you won't find it there , you need to set the boot sequence in the uefi/bios [20:36] havoc_hive: have you installed openssh-server on the machine you are trying to connect to? [20:36] EriC^^: yep [20:36] BluesKaj_: I have actually moved the boot sequence up for my usb drive while it was inserted in the computer, any time i re-enable the secure boot and have the drive inserted i get an error saying its skipping this unsigned ... [20:37] EriC^^: nvm i figured it out. thank you =) [20:37] havoc_hive: :) [20:37] BluesKaj_: again i'm past that point in my configuration, i have grub loaded, i can browse my files and try to load the kernel but it crashes/freezes [20:37] kittyfirekitty, disable secure boot in the uefi/bios as well [20:37] EriC^^: It still goes straight to Windows [20:38] i did, i have to re-enable it to load windows8.1 without using the "bitlocker" b.s. [20:38] kittyfirekitty: For getting rid of bitlocker, you have to reinstall Windows. [20:39] bekks: not happening till i descide if ubuntu is going to run acceptably on this tablet first [20:39] BluesKaj_: do you want me to detail what i've already done so you can get on the same page? [20:40] I thought you wanted to boot into a usb device containing an OS image that you wanted to install on your pc kittyfirekitty, sorry if I misread your initial question [20:40] I am having a problem booting a usb drive that i've used rufus to prepare and try to boot, i am able to change my secure boot settings to get into grub, but when I attempt booting a menu selection it just black screen or returns to a frozen grub menu, i've tried using the "nosplash" and saw a "unable to terminate efi servies" before the screen froze, i've tried using nosplash/noefi boot paramaters and still have no luck booting === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 === fred_ is now known as Guest93692 [20:42] ben_g: type sudo efibootmgr -v [20:43] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9871813/ === Yukinotteru is now known as Yukitteru [20:45] ben_g: sudo efibootmgr -o 2001,0000,0003,0004,2003,2002 [20:45] I have also browsed the community forums, lmgtfy and other resources available to me, and have not found anything depicting or even pointing towards my issue [20:45] ben_g: then type sudo efibootmgr -v again === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 [20:45] kittyfirekitty: did you try nomodeset ? it's worth a shot [20:45] kittyfirekitty, bitlocker is not going to help you, installing ubuntu. remove bitlocker ( that requires reinstall windows) then it should work [20:46] kittyfirekitty, I hate to be rude , but what has your grub issue got to do with booting into a usb device ? [20:46] OerHeks: i can boot to grub, i can't load my kernel it gives me an error or blank screen with no error that i've left for 15 min with nothing happening [20:46] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9871825/ === rwp_ is now known as rwp [20:47] ben_g: ok, that's odd it switched back to windows first by itself [20:47] is this a hp laptop? [20:47] EriC^^: no, Toshiba [20:47] does anyone know of any good beginner guides for new ubuntu users? [20:48] ben_g: did you previously rename the grub efi files to get it to work?

[21:01] e.g. vlc & then keeps dumping err msgs garbaging the console for further use [21:01] lightsa: lubuntu, or a minimal install and then install what you need. [21:01] lightsa, lubuntu is lightweight [21:01] EriC^^: what's the meaning of 2>&1 in the end? (redirect stderr too?) [21:01] weeirc8089: vlc filename > /dev/null 2>&1 & === _X_C_V_B_ is now known as robinhood [21:02] ye lubuntu is desktop wise but I was looking for something even smaller. the CPU is very weak (old computer) [21:02] weeirc8089: yes redirect stderr to stdout [21:02] hi [21:02] lightsa: lubuntu is build up for old and slow hardware [21:02] how can I search the version available of certain package in the backport repository from the command-line ?

I have no wonder however how that works, can someone give me some high-level overview about how this is configured? thanks [21:09] EriC^^: in the line 'if [ -n "$bcd" -a -n "$bootmgfw" ]; then'? Because I don't see anything with the .efi extension in that file. [21:09] EriC^^: uefi boot loader won't be repaired with update grub. [21:10] redruum: grub is loading, but we renamed the microsoft efi file to bootmgfw.efi.backup2 so the one it's finding is actually shimx64.efi right now [21:10] ben_g: bootmgfw=$(item_in_dir bootmgfw.efi "$efi/$microsoft/$boot") [21:10] it should be that line [21:10] oh oops [21:12] EriC^^: ok, done [21:12] ben_g: ok sudo update-grub [21:12] EriC^^: Also that. Restart and try? [21:12] yes [21:12] ok [21:13] hello [21:14] I am using Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to a Windows Server 2008, but it doesn't connect [21:15] When I enter the connection info and connect it just blinks black and returns to the normal grey color. [21:15] no error messages whatsoever [21:16] You turn off all firewalls on ubuntu and Windows maxwell [21:16] well, it works from my windows computer [21:16] maxwell: You using internal or external IP. [21:17] internal === robinhood is now known as _X_C_V_B_ [21:18] yea. it works perfectly from windows [21:18] maxwell: turn off all firewalls on Windows. Ubuntu usually is defaulted off. [21:18] just checked again === Pici` is now known as Pici [21:20] maxwell: what port is the remote desktop server broad casting [21:20] the normal one [21:20] 3389 I think it is [21:21] rdp isnt broadcasting, but the default port is 3389. [21:21] hmmm [21:21] wait a sec [21:21] I disabled the firewall and now I can connect [21:22] but not from Remote Dektop Viewer [21:22] Remmina Remote Desktop Client [21:22] it works from there [21:22] maxwell: You need to put :3389 behind the IP [21:22] the quality is very bad, but sill [21:23] *still [21:23] redruum, isnt that the default port? [21:23] why whould I need to put it? [21:24] I tried anyway and it didn't work with the port specified [21:24] The port tells the client where the server is broadcasting. [21:24] EriC^^: It works, thanks (sorry for taking so long, Windows felt that I wanted it to be fast and decided to install some updates) [21:25] anyone have any ideas how to deal with this: https://gist.github.com/safaci2000/fc74244d6fa8e29dcc37 I can't seem to remove the old nvidia driver [21:25] well, in any case, it doesn't work. [21:25] redruum: rdp does not broadcast, you just connect to the server using the port. [21:26] as far as I know it doesn't broadcast [21:26] its just a server listening to a port [21:27] maxwell: Windows firewall I think you can tell it what service or application or ports to allow passage. So you can turn on the firewall. [21:27] redruum, there is obviously a built in allow rule [21:27] redruum: Yes. But thaht doesnt make RDP broadcast. :) [21:28] ben_g: great, no problem [21:28] and it works from this Remmina client thing [21:30] but it doesn't scale correctly and dragging isnt working [21:30] so thats not really a solution === CHVNX is now known as JudgeDreddlock === JudgeDreddlock is now known as CHVNX [21:30] hi lads & lasses [21:32] hi ZA [21:32] maxwell: Did you click on the remmina button that allows your keys to bind?

[21:34] dinet: thunar [21:35] maxwell: I'm not 100% sure if Remmina has the button in RDP, but it does in VNC. There is a button that looks like part of a keyboard, that makes all keys that you press be pressed on the remote machine. [21:35] well yes [21:35] k1l_: gonna give it a try. thanks [21:35] the keyboard and nouse work [21:36] *mouse [21:36] its just dragging [21:36] and the color is horrible [21:36] looks like the 90s [21:37] maxwell: don't press so often - you are scrolling the channel faster [21:37] maxwell: VNC client and server. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC [21:38] irc://freifunk@irc.chemnitz.freifunk.net [21:38] redruum, this means another server running [21:38] more resources [21:38] oh wel [21:38] filly: don't [21:38] filly, yes .. no, please don't spam.

[21:39] no choice. but VNC doesn't have that much managment [21:40] any one know if there is WAMP for Linux [21:41] maxwell: I think vnc viewers are rdp clients [21:41] !lamp | ZA [21:41] ZA: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[22:02] Alex311360: it'd be much easier to use something like vino, since that comes with ubuntu, has a nice easy configuration and shares the main desktop [22:03] what if I'm using a alternate version of ubuntu like lubuntu [22:03] Alex311360: should still work [22:03] i'm gonna go see if it's on there, if not i'll probably see if it's available on apt-get [22:04] Alex311360: try running "vino-preferences" [22:05] Hello, I'm having issues with unity.

[22:42] any thoughts on where to change the power settings? [22:43] happyfr0gg: Do in status window -> whois Bashing-om <- as I am, I am . [22:43] W6NZX: If you start the gnome-settings-daemon in your i3 session, the gnome power settings would indeed be used. So you can change them with dcinf-editor. [22:43] W6NZX, what os do you have? [22:43] Bashing-om, okay, give me a second. [22:44] happyfr0gg 14.04 with i3 as the DE [22:44] Q: is the the Docky plugin for weather still broken?

For example... I use enlightenemt e17 WM with a gnome-session (gnome-settings-daemon). I don not know if you use your i3 WM the same way, but aparently not. [22:50] W6NZX, what exactly are you trying to accomplish from the power settings? [22:51] oh! k1l_ is right lxle isn't supported, sry, marcelo usa un entorno de escritorio oficial soportado por la counidad [22:51] happyfr0gg Basically I never want the screen to sleep at all, i use the power button :D [22:54] dear people, really i cant understand.

[22:57] Where do we notify the ubuntu apps directory of an update to our software? [22:57] bprompt: startx is just plain wrong. and the user is not even using ubuntu. he uses lxle so he should ask their support [22:58] looking for a script to recursively go through a directory and delete copies of files? [22:58] suggstions? [22:58] Tobbi, please rephrase your question. [22:58] Tobbi: (??) The package manager takes care of keeping the system updated . [22:58] delinquentme: fslint is that program [22:58] In past, several distro had text tools for adjust configuration. I dont remember now.

[23:01] trism: I guess it's okay then. [23:02] hi im new to ubuntu [23:02] Tobbi: Are you running "/saucy/supertux/ " ? as releae 13.04 (saucy) is End-Of-Life .
