[00:00] I'm honestly not sure about the fat32 partition Eric^^ [00:00] SteinerU: ok, type sudo parted -l [00:00] alright ill try now and let you know [00:00] paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [00:01] EriC^^: it says Swap: 0 0 0 [00:01] This is what I got EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889481/ [00:01] Does anyone knows if there is an open-source alternative to Adobe Freehand? [00:01] not_a_tiger: yeah no swap [00:02] not_a_tiger: did you run mkswap? [00:02] Nope. I thought it might be enough to just create a new swap partition :-/ [00:03] not_a_tiger: type sudo mkswap /dev/sdxY [00:03] where xY is the disk and partition [00:06] SteinerU: ok just out of curiosity type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt [00:06] */dev/sda5 [00:06] EriC^^: sudo fdisk -l # /dev/sda5 58722304 67106815 4192256 82 Linux swap / Solaris [00:06] not_a_tiger: ok, sudo mkswap /dev/sda5 [00:07] Ok EriC^^, done. Doesn't look like anything happened. [00:07] not_a_tiger: then sudo swapon /dev/sda5 [00:07] SteinerU: ok, type ls -l /mnt [00:07] what's in there? [00:08] EFI ? [00:08] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889582/ [00:08] ok type ls -l /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/ [00:09] i think you installed ubuntu in uefi mode, using a msdos disk [00:09] Ah. Well, when I go to the boot selector in my BIOS, it does list UEFI as one of the options [00:10] yeah you should select the usb in legacy mode [00:10] was windows booting? [00:10] Here's what I got in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9889617/ [00:10] Well, I could launch from the live disc USB but when selecting the hard drive it just asked me to select a proper boot device [00:11] brasil [00:11] SteinerU: ok [00:12] SteinerU: i'm curious if it would boot with msdos [00:12] SteinerU: type sudo efibootmgr -v [00:12] can someone lend me a hand @ this error > http://pastebin.com/rebVdU6U [00:13] I tried fixing this problem by reinstalling the application, finally the os. [00:13] Huh. It says "command not found" EriC^^ [00:14] try sudo apt-get install efibootmgr [00:14] not_a_tiger: did you run swapon ? [00:14] The problem persist no matter what I attempt at getting it fixed. [00:14] not_a_tiger: you still have to add it to fstab [00:15] The error is also the same on ubuntu desktop && gnome ubuntu [00:15] I tried searching for a solution in goolge but, haven't found any information. [00:15] Oky EriC^^. The result I got was "Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing EFI variables.' Try 'modprobe efivars' as root." [00:16] I tried reinstall & just did a "apt-get install libgstream*" and still nothing. [00:16] I even removed the program and reinstalled it again, again and again. [00:16] Do I have to install libgstreamer source and build it from there ? [00:16] SteinerU: try sudo modprobe efivars [00:17] SteinerU: i think the usb's booted in legacy mode right now [00:17] Er [00:17] I typed it and nothing happened [00:17] ok try sudo efibootmgr -v [00:18] anyone ? [00:18] Hmmm. Same fatal error as before [00:19] SteinerU: ok, we can reinstall grub to the mbr so it works with legacy mode [00:19] SteinerU: Turn off EFI in bios and problem is solved :> [00:20] SteinerU: or you can see what happens if you choose uefi mode in the bios and see if it picks up the efi partition [00:20] EriC^^: Swap: 4093 0 4093 [00:20] SteinerU: if you have time, give the uefi in bios a shot [00:20] Hmmm. [00:21] i'm kind of curious if it would even work [00:21] All right, well, I'll do that. How do I get back to this channel, in case it doesn't? [00:21] EriC^^: Thanks for the help [00:21] not_a_tiger: type sudo nano /etc/fstab , type sudo blkid in another terminal [00:21] not_a_tiger: you need to add it to fstab so it's persistent [00:22] SteinerU: boot the live usb [00:22] hold on [00:22] let's write to the mbr [00:23] type sudo umount /mnt [00:23] OK [00:24] SteinerU: type sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt [00:24] Alright, done. What exactly did that do? [00:24] SteinerU: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [00:24] SteinerU: mounted the installation under /mnt [00:24] EriC^^: There is already an entry for swap in /etc/fstab [00:25] not_a_tiger: it's the old one [00:25] replace the uuid with the new uuid from sudo blkid [00:25] Different uuid ? [00:25] yeah [00:26] Odd. EriC^^, it just spits out "mount: not a directory" [00:26] Does anyone know of a linux command that, given a file name, will report the number of lines in the file? Like they way 'file' can tell you the file type? [00:27] EriC^^: /etc/fstab # UUID=0f54c166-4f25-45d3-84ad-2f8c1ddb273f none swap sw 0 0 [00:27] alright getting ready to pull my hair out on this one... i've been trying to get my external USB netgear WNDA3100v2 to play nicely and it doesn't seem to want to work... I followed a thread that seemed to be the solution but now the only wireless network it will connect to is the guest network and it fails to connect to any networks that require authentication (WPA)... i've installed ndiswrapper and got the broadcom 64 bit .inf file installed with ndiswrapper - [00:27] imastupidguest: wc -l [00:27] imastupidguest: wc -l or type [00:27] here is some of the output that might be important: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9885727/ [00:27] SteinerU: what's the exact command you typed? [00:28] EriC^^: sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i [00:28] EriC^^: ewelina: Sweet! thx [00:28] I got confused by the first portion of the last line you sent to me [00:28] n88: you need to install wpa_supplicant [00:28] SteinerU: you have to type the whole thing out [00:28] for i .... done [00:28] ewelina: ok thanks... i'll look into that [00:29] ewelina: it is already installed... [00:29] n88 try connect from command line [00:30] eric is changing the uuid in fstab the last step? [00:30] yup [00:30] not_a_tiger: the line looks fine [00:30] EriC^^: Thanks. I won't be able to reboot for some time, but this is enough help to take care of me for now. Thank you. [00:30] I'm not very good w/ shell scripting or whatever. Is there a way I can run wc -l recursively on the contents of my working dir? Is anyone willing to help w/ a command for it? [00:30] not_a_tiger: no problem [00:31] EriC^^: I literally typed "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /run /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i", then got a ">" prompt and typed "done" [00:31] Is that right? [00:31] imastupidguest: find . -exec wc -l '{}' \; [00:32] SteinerU: type the whole thing, with ; done [00:32] EriC^^: Sweet! Thx man. [00:32] np [00:33] ewelina: ... that actually worked [00:33] There we go [00:33] Well, nothing seems to have happened in the terminal EriC^^, but I assume typing that changed something [00:33] ewelina: how come it won't work from the GUI panel [00:33] Now what? [00:33] SteinerU: ok, type sudo chroot /mnt [00:33] ewelina: or better question...how do I get it to work from the network manager [00:34] then apt-get install grub-pc [00:34] hello [00:35] i had a question about ubuntu [00:35] df_: Ask away :P [00:36] n88: try remove profile, NM and add again [00:37] n88 it's should be works and be available from NM [00:37] It's listing three GRUB install devices EriC^^, "/dev/sda (500107 MB; ST3500g30AS", "/dev/sda3 (298499 MB; /) and "/dev/sda (15518 MB; 6387" [00:37] Which do I selecft? [00:37] I have an LVM volume that say that it needs to be checked. I used tune2fs to set it for check at the next reboot, but twice in a row, it's failed to check the disk, how do I get this disk checked [00:38] the /dev/sda 50000MB [00:38] SteinerU: ^ [00:39] Er, it's telling me I chose not to install grub to any devices [00:39] EriC^^: ^ [00:39] hmm [00:40] SteinerU: try again [00:40] ewelina: thanks it actually works now... good thing I spent a few hours trying to fix it when all i needed to do was delete the profile and try again :) [00:40] and paste what it's saying in paste.ubuntu.com [00:41] SteinerU: did the package install successfully? [00:41] n88: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8 something like that :) [00:42] Well it's weird, because I get to the screen with those three options [00:42] SteinerU: choose to install to /dev/sda [00:42] I did [00:42] But it's telling me I chose not to install GRUB to anything [00:42] Odd [00:43] Like, it lets me select one of the devices. Hitting Shift or choosing sda with Enter gives me the same result [00:43] SteinerU: try the right arrow [00:43] or space [00:44] trying to add bash commands but seem to be doing something wrong. was hoping someone could pick at my attempt? [00:44] AH [00:44] There we go. I feel like an idiot, EriC^^ lol [00:45] ok, great [00:45] i've navigated to /home/user/.bash_aliases but it's empty; I added my bash commands and rebooted the server, doesn't seem to take. Is this the wrong dir? [00:46] If I restart the PC I should see the GRUB loader like before, right EriC^^? [00:46] SteinerU: did it mention Found linux ..... ? [00:46] and windows too [00:46] ? [00:47] Yep EriC^^ [00:47] bruxC Restarting server for reload .bash_aliases? So you can log out and log in again... [00:47] ewelina, i don't follow I'm sorry. what's your question? [00:48] bruxC So .bash_aliases is loaded from .bashrc so you can add your aliases into this file [00:48] bruxC: it should work, .bashrc uses them [00:48] so the directory I went into is the incorrect one? [00:48] bruxC: type alias [00:48] bruxC: or for global /etc/profile [00:49] bruxC: no .bash_aliases is fine [00:49] SteinerU: ok, cool [00:49] EriC^^, the aliases I added aren't in this list when I typed 'aliases' [00:49] SteinerU: type exit [00:49] Done [00:49] Safe to reboot? [00:49] SteinerU: then try to restart if it doesn't work out use the live usb to get back on here [00:49] sudo is my account password how do i find my su (root) password? [00:50] bruxC: you mean alias [00:50] lurk_: Ubuntu does not have one by default [00:50] ? [00:50] Yes, sorry. [00:50] alias [00:50] lurk_: generally you just use sudo [00:50] OK EriC^^. Hopefully it'll all go well. [00:50] lurk_ you need change password first default is empty type sudo passwd [00:50] I appreciate the help. :) [00:50] SteinerU: no problem :) [00:50] lurk_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:51] That moment when you type your root password into a new window that opened up in front of the Terminal. [00:51] bruxC: how are you adding the aliases? [00:52] bruxC: alias bla='bla bla bla' ? [00:52] how i did it was nano /home/user/.bash_aliases then as an example: alias transstop='sudo service transmission-daemon stop' [00:52] I think my destination is wrong. [00:53] has anyone heard of this site? [00:53] bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases [00:54] https://www.4kdownload.com.... I did google search for 4k video downloader and imediately found it and it has ubuntu 64-bit packages for all software but I remember from the 90's sites that looked almost exactly like this were all spyware [00:54] bruxC: and grep -E "bash_aliases" ~/.bashrc [00:54] would be a shame to install spyware on a formerly spyware-free ubuntu bo [00:54] box [00:55] mynameisdeleted: well they're not official so they're not supported - totally at your own risk. [00:56] # ~/.bash_aliases, instead of adding them here directly. [00:56] if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then [00:56] . ~/.bash_aliases [00:56] bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases [00:56] again? [00:56] I could search for a ppa and see if they've been banned from making ppa's [00:57] you typed grep -E .. [00:57] grep -E "bash_aliases" ~/.bashrc [00:57] yes [00:57] type ls -ld /home..... [00:58] drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jan 25 23:29 /home [00:58] bruxC: that correct so you can try chmod +x ~/.bash_aliases [00:58] bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases [00:58] first chmod then ls -ld etc. ? [00:58] bruxC: type ls -ld [00:58] aftershot pro has no ppa nor does lightworks and they are both respectablew [00:58] for everything that's holy [00:58] sake [00:59] drwx------ 5 root root 4096 Jan 26 19:38 . [00:59] oh crap [00:59] ;) [00:59] i knew you were going to type that [00:59] lol [00:59] Hey im back... [00:59] bruxC: type ls -ld /home/user/.bash_aliases [00:59] Didn't go good. On phone now [00:59] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174 Jan 26 19:38 /home/user/.bash_aliases [00:59] bruxC: ok! [01:00] should I not be providing the feedback? [01:00] bruxC: ok you need to type chmod +x ~/.bash_aliases === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:00] sudo chown user: /home/user/.bash_aliases [01:00] EriC^^, done. [01:00] Is this a typical step or did I eff something up? [01:01] EriC^^: this file is included from .bashrc and require to execute mode ;) [01:01] EriC^^: how I put an image for you to see? [01:01] bruxC: you ran sudo nano earlier [01:01] most likely [01:02] where shall i nano, vi, etc. into? [01:02] bruxC: ewelina no need for +x [01:02] bruxC: what do you mean [01:02] woozy: imgur.com [01:02] so I may add bash commands [01:02] any paid or free bluray authoring software for ubuntu? [01:03] esp 4k bluray? [01:03] bruxC: functions? [01:03] testfive='sudo service testfiveserverbeepbloopblopbleep stop' [01:03] ^ bash commands. [01:04] bruxC: i think you mean alias [01:04] yes. that's what i meant. sorry [01:04] I see command-line tools for authoring unencrypted blu-ray... but was hoping for somethign like k3b [01:04] I'm getting a tad confused and overwhelmed so i apologize. [01:05] yes, put them in ~/.bash_aliases as you did, just no need for sudo [01:05] nano ~/.bash_aliases [01:05] bruxC: no worries [01:05] bruxC: yeah [01:05] is it normal that there isn't anything in this file? [01:05] yeah [01:05] Ok. [01:05] Can you explain what happened and what we did? [01:06] I'd like to try and at least understand what we went through. Perhaps my subconscious can cling on to it and use it as a learning experience. [01:06] bruxC: as the grep command shows, .bashrc checks if that file exists and uses it to add aliases you've set [01:07] beyond me adding the aliases, is there anything else I need to do command wise? [01:07] grep bash_aliases ~/.bashrc will show you the part the looks for it and adds it [01:07] EriC^^: http://imgur.com/zGJJKir [01:08] bruxC: it's up to you [01:08] That's how I have it set up and I got an error on reboot after install [01:08] I mean as a requirement. [01:08] if I add an alias, do I need to stop a service and restart it, reboot the server; that sort of thing? [01:09] woozy: what was the error? [01:09] woozy: it looks good [01:09] bruxC: no this aliases is loaded when you login [01:09] ah wait that's the installer? [01:09] thought it was gparted at first [01:10] error file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found [01:10] woozy: you need to set the mountpoints [01:10] EriC^^, transstart: command not found [01:10] Then went into grub rescue mode or something. [01:10] bruxC: did you login ? [01:10] type sudo login user [01:10] I had them set then did the install [01:10] bash ~/.bash_aliases [01:10] I'll retry [01:11] woozy: hold on [01:11] are you in the live usb right now? [01:11] hi all, quick question.. not sure if this is possible but it would be really cool.... is it possible to pipe output to the buffer for pasting? i.e. `cat newfile > BUFFER` then ctrl+v to paste it? [01:11] Hey look at that, it works. === fredy_ is now known as ardziv_nubar_fre [01:12] EriC^^, thank you. :) [01:12] bruxC: no problem :) === ardziv_nubar_fre is now known as Ardziv === Guma is now known as Guma_ [01:12] OK Eric I redid the mount points let me send another pic === Guma_ is now known as Guma [01:13] dataviznoob: xsel can select stuff that's highlighted on the screen [01:13] so... now that i've got a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 I installed skype and it does nothing but intermittently freeze and unfreeze... has anyone experienced this before? [01:13] ubuntu 14.04** [01:13] which skype? [01:13] dataviznoob: yup, if you pipe it to xsel it'll end up in the buffer [01:13] dataviznoob: cat | xsel [01:13] i think its the latest version of skype... let me check [01:14] sweet! ive nver really used xsel [01:14] thanks for the heads-up! [01:14] n88: where from? [01:14] linux-beta-ubuntu64 [01:14] default repos? [01:14] from here: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=ubuntu64 [01:14] yeah you're doing it wrong [01:14] dataviznoob: there's also xclip http://stackoverflow.com/questions/749544/pipe-to-from-clipboard [01:14] \o/ [01:14] what... is the better option [01:14] http://imgur.com/qCj9ZSf [01:14] it's meant to be in the default repos [01:15] EriC^^: http://imgur.com/qCj9ZSf [01:15] woozy: choose /dev/sda as the bootloader installation [01:15] Hello - I'm not able to get a script (/etc/init.d/unicorn) to start on boot; I've run "sudo update-rc.d unicorn defaults", and the script works when I run it manually ("/etc/init.d/unicorn start"), but if I reboot, the service isn't running. How can I debug? [01:16] woozy: also it seems there's already an installation there? did you backup your home and stuff? [01:16] The ata Toshiba one? [01:16] daftykins: so.. remove from the software center and then apt-get install skype ? [01:16] woozy: yes [01:16] worth a try [01:17] I tried the fresh install like you mentioned before and got the error. Think it was because I had bootloader on sda1 [01:19] when I press the power button, my laptop does an instant restart. please, any help? thanks [01:19] woozy: yeah that would do that [01:19] So if I do it now with sda selected as bootloader the previous install shouldn't get in the way? [01:20] i dont know [01:20] if you have everything backed up [01:20] maybe just choose to format the root partition [01:20] tsmuxer, mencoder, and dvd+rw+tools can author BR under ubuntui [01:21] OK formating the root and I have /home on exthd [01:21] Don't format /home? Just / [01:21] yeah [01:22] I am trying to upgrade from 14.04 to Unicorn and I used the startup disc creator with the .iso from ubuntu and when I boot from USB it says there is a missing file something about something 32. [01:22] I'm trying it [01:23] kat_: did you checksum the iso? [01:23] hi guys and girls [01:23] EriC^^ did I what? [01:24] kangar00: go to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:24] kat_: why dont you use the online upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10? [01:24] !md5sum | kat_ [01:24] kat_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:24] kat_: ^^ yeah the upgrading is pretty reliable [01:27] EriC^^ I did the MD5 checksum with the first link you provided me and it all checks out [01:28] I'm wondering if it is possible to run a kernel for Debian (say, linux-image-3.2.0-4-rt-amd64) on Ubuntu [01:28] what's the exact error you're getting? [01:28] kat_: ^ [01:28] Is it as easy as just building it locally? [01:29] EriC^^ I don't know the exact error as it happens when I boot. Let me do this again and I'll write it down. [01:29] Nixus: nobody answers me on ubuntu-offtopic. can you give me a quick answer if multiple php-fpm pools use more ram (e.g. num-pools*ram-per-pool instead of 1*ram-per-pool) === LinuxMitch is now known as MitchSmith [01:31] I have no idea.. sorry [01:32] I have a beginner question of my own still waiting to be answered... [01:33] kangar00: It's actually each apache thread. Unless your PHP script is doing some outrageous iterations to huge arrays, the PHP scripts are usually short lived and apache gives the memory back to the system almost immediately [01:33] EriC^^ it says Missing parameter in configuration file keyword: path gfxboot.c32 not a com32 image [01:34] hello my laptop works great with hibernate but suspend fails every time. what is the best way to replace all the suspend operations with hibernate? [01:34] RedheadedCupcake: is it a 32 bit machine? [01:34] but with multiple pools I get several processes started. should I use ondemand instead of dynamic? [01:34] so then no procs are started unless a request is made [01:35] EriC^^ I don't know I went to "about this computer" and it says it's a 64 bit machine and I downloaded the 64 bit iso [01:35] RedheadedCupcake: ok, it seems to be a bug but there's an easy workaround http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2249701 [01:37] anyone know of a way for me to get help? [01:37] jeffrey_f: nevermind. i figured it out. seems ondemand works bc it starts no procs. but if a bunch of pools get requests i'd run out of RAM probbaly bc I only have 128MB. so ill stick to one pool === brent684 is now known as luser [01:37] !ask | Nixus [01:37] Nixus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [01:37] Nixus: did you try reconfig it in power options? [01:38] reconfig? you mean change the action?

I have the wireless chip in and i DO NOT [02:32] Can anyone help me? [02:33] Hi, I'm back with yet another printing problem, CUPS seems to work because I can print from my Windows based systems to a printer on my Ubuntu system. Printing from OS X is not successful. The spooler says Stopped on server - Rendering completed [02:33] MannyLNJ: Do you think you can help with my problem? [02:33] Do i need some kind of libs for my wireless router [02:34] cromagi, I know very little when it comes to ubuntu and other *nix distros Sorry. [02:34] I cant connect to internet :'( [02:34] Google cant even help me [02:34] cromagi, This is standard off the shelf router? [02:35] Well the router itself is in my dads room [02:35] I just have a wireless adapter [02:35] I cant seem to get ubuntu to recognize it [02:36] cromagi, so the problem is not with the router but with the card? [02:36] I'm just a little cub learning linux. I created a samba for a secondary ntfs-3g drive currently mounted in my ubuntu server. Is it possible to set it up to where I can have windows users authenticate with a username/pw. upon authentication then have full access to the shared cifs? [02:36] Yes === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 [02:37] And i just reinstalled windows just to see if it was my card but wifi was flawless on windows [02:37] what do i need to do to get it working on ubuntu?? [02:37] cromagi, ok first what card is it? [02:37] I dont even know [02:38] cromagi without knowing what card it is I can't help. [02:40] cromagi: A quicky, connect wired -> sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade ; open "additional Drivers" and install the wireless driver . [02:41] hi. can anyone tell me how to set up a remote desktop on an ubuntu dedicated server? [02:41] vps sorry [02:42] will that all work without internet?

Next time you will be expelled. [02:43] cromagi: NO, why I say connect to a wired connection . [02:43] cromagi, no you need internet to do it [02:43] I dont have internet [02:43] cromagi, then how are you typing to us? [02:43] my laptop running ubuntu with wifi [02:44] cromagi, what kind of computer is the other one? [02:44] dell inspiron 530s [02:44] cromagi: By far the best thing is take that box to a wired connection .. else it gets real hairy to install a WIFI driver . [02:44] cromagi, did that have wifi built in? [02:44] can i use usb tehter with my phone? [02:44] MannyLNJ: right now i only have ssh access [02:45] My install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system. Any suggestions? [02:46] will usb tethering work [02:46] cromagi, Depends on your phone... Also did you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1859527 [02:47] hi! when I visit the page http://time.is/ it tells me that my clock is 3.6 seconds behind. I try to refresh the system clock (as it's supposed to sync with a ntp) but it does not work. I have followed all the answers here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/254826/how-to-force-a-clock-update-using-ntp but it does not work [02:48] hi. can anyone tell me how to set up a remote desktop on an ubuntu vps with ssh access? [02:48] why is the clock so out of sync, even when using ntp? [02:48] nickmane, try this guide http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=5305 it helped me setup remote desktop on a laptop that has a damaged lcd. [02:49] My install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system. Any suggestions [02:49] nickmane, I'm just assuming that my situation was evquviliant to a virtual private server [02:49] woozy, are you using the automatic partitioning or are you going manual? [02:50] MannyLNJ: do i need special sources? "E: Unable to locate package xrdp" [02:50] nickmane, I don't think so. [02:50] I'm using partioning I did. Nothing crazy just /, swap, and /home [02:51] woozy: MBR or GPT partitions ? Maybe IF MBR there is that 4 primary partition limit, and one has to resize/remove partitions for ubuntu to install onto (???) . [02:52] MannyLNJ: can you pastebin your sources? [02:52] Bashing-om: I don't know what you mean. I just followed what people told me before and it's getting stuck [02:52] woozy, BTW following what Bashing-om said, Ubuntu does not care for primary or logical partions... unlike MS [02:52] nickmane, yes if you tell me how [02:53] MannyLNJ: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [02:53] woozy, are you dual (or multi) booting? [02:53] woozy: show the channel -> sudo fdisk -lu | pastebinit . so we know what we are working with . [02:53] MannyLNJ: nvm, it's working now. i needed to update/upgrade [02:53] No just straight installing Ubuntu [02:54] nickmane, glad to hear that because I was going to have to learn how to to specify a different name when I ssh [02:55] so I have a secondary ntfs-3g fstab mounted and I have it currently being used as a samba shared drive. if I just chmod 777 /file/location/of/drive am I good to go with full permissions on the home network? [02:56] what commands do i run again? [02:56] Ideally, I'd like users to authenticate with an account, either created in ubuntu or an existing account in windows. [02:56] And by users on my home network, I pretty much mean just me.

[03:04] hi [03:05] Hey could you help? [03:06] Has anyone else had problems resetting the root password? [03:06] jonalmeida: there is no root password. What are you trying to do? [03:06] jonalmeida: there is no root password [03:06] When I try to SSH to my box with root, the password doesn't work. [03:06] What? [03:06] jonalmeida: ssh by root should be disabled by default [03:06] jonalmeida: ssh as a user, then use sudo to access root [03:06] Can someone help me solve my install problem [03:07] woozy: just be a little patient. Constantly asking is not necessary [03:07] somsip: Yeah, that's what I do now, but if I had an authorized_key in my /root/.ssh/ I should be able to right? [03:08] jalmeida: no, root login is disabled by default [03:08] Sorry I've just been on here for awhile and have tried and bunch with no prevail. [03:08] I remember being able to do this before [03:08] Doesn't seem to work now [03:08] woozy: I've seen. So have most other people I imagine. By all means ask, but I'd suggest you make it less often [03:08] Maybe that was implemented by my VPS host? [03:09] jalmeida: are you running ubuntu, connecting to ubuntu, or both? === ubuntu is now known as Guest76785 === Guest76785 is now known as Creedal [03:10] somsip: I'm running Ubuntu and connecting to a remote Ubuntu box [03:10] jonalmeida: so how are you connecting? [03:11] ssh [03:11] jonalmeida: command line is...(remove sensitive info)? Is the server sshd_config set to allow root login? [03:12] somsip: Standard way: ssh root@[ip] [03:12] I'm actually not sure about the latter. [03:13] I've cycled down the box now to do a snapspot [03:13] jonalmeida: probably best to check it then [03:13] If I screw it up, I'll have a backup [03:13] Give me a few minutes === gerald is now known as Guest47666 [03:17] tey guy in this forum (http://www.programmingforums.org/post247908.html#post247908) uses #!/bin/gawk -f [03:17] I installed gawk - but it still complains about bad interpreter - I didnt even think gawk was a interpreter [03:18] oh well, i guess i'm stuck with the noveau driver for now since i can't get any of the nvidia drivers to work [03:21] where do i find "additional drivers" in ubuntu?

[03:31] jalmeida: np [03:32] jalmeida: but you do understand that's a very ugly and unsafe thing to do... [03:36] somsip: For sure, I just needed this temporarily while I do some updates [03:37] Getting shell access straight to root is faster [03:38] I am banging my head against the wall. I am having a problem printing to my ubuntu system from OS X can someone please assist me. I can't figure where to start troubleshooting [03:38] i installed a program where to i find it?

[03:42] cd /home/[your_login_name] [03:42] LurkAshFlake: as in 'cd' on its own [03:42] If you're not sure do echo $HOME [03:50] anyone here? [03:50] That can help me [03:50] cromagi: ask your question [03:51] okay when i go to additional drivers to select my wireless adapter, i click on it but it says this device is not working [03:51] cromagi: no idea myself. I know nothing about wireless so you'll have to see if someone else responds [03:52] ok hopefully they will [03:52] Will sudo apt-get upgrade [03:52] install device drivers? [03:52] cromagi, did you look at the post I made earlier? [03:52] yes i did [03:52] cromagi: it will upgrade any installed packages that need an upgrade [03:52] oh ok [03:53] How do i get my wireless adapter to work then [03:54] this is so annoying [03:54] cromagi, I'm sorry you are having wireless issues. I can emphasize because I am having printing issues [03:55] at least you can connect to internet [03:55] lol [03:55] cromagi, does lspci show anything? [03:55] yes [03:57] cromagi, what does it show? === johnnie is now known as funkymuppet === johnnie is now known as funkymuppet [04:12] I apt-get install wine, then an EULA appeared i didn't knew how to accept it so I left, now it won't install again or get remove it is lock [04:13] LurkAshFlake: apt-get install -f will help [04:14] My Ubuntu install keeps getting stuck at creating ext4 file system any ideas? Idk why it's doing ya [04:14] woozy, how large is the drive and what type? [04:15] woozy: try the minimalcd installer instead [04:15] My computer in total is around 640gb but it's never taken this long for some reason [04:15] maybe your constant reinstalling has finally worn it out :p [04:16] The partitions I have set up are 2 ext4s one is / @ 50gb and the other is /home @ 570ish gb [04:17] woozy: try the minimalcd installer instead [04:17] or just make your partitions and filesystems manually from the non-installer area of the install media [04:17] Then there is 12gb swap. Well I've only been reinstalling because it messed up [04:18] Where would I find the minimalcd installer and what's the difference? I made the partitions manually and it isn't working, but that's from Inside the installer [04:19] it's an entirely separate installer, AFAIK; so the same bugs would be unlikely [04:19] what messed up before the reinstall? [04:20] you can find it pretty simply by seeking it out === _X_C_V_B_ is now known as _B_V_C_X_ [04:23] I set my /home to be encrypted and it put /home on root and boot partition. Asked people how to move and they said simplest way would be to just reinstall [04:23] ah, so you were given bad advice [04:23] happens [04:24] encryption is rather nice these days [04:24] 'specially if your processor is not particularly old, and can absorb the overhead [04:24] So there was a simpler way... The only problem I was having was I didn't like the entering password every boot [04:25] why were you rebooting? [04:25] I thought there'd be an easier way that I could move /home but they said just reinstall and set up own partitions like that. Updates and such [04:26] Do you think the fact that my ext4s in total are over 600gb?just taking a long time maybe? [04:26] not unless you're doing it oddly/wrong [04:27] are you encrypting again? [04:27] encryption is not really necessary and makes things more difficult [04:27] reinstalling is frequently for tourists; not always, but frequently [04:27] reisio: encryption is a waste. Most closed source has backdoors the programmers were forced by the NSA to install or the keys. Open-source is safer. But you would cry the password like a sissy to the feds under pressure. [04:27] Ben64: what isn't not really necessary :) [04:27] Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer i have an eula to accept the graphic in my terminal are different it's written at the bottom, how do i acept it? [04:27] redruum: Ubuntu is open source [04:27] redruum: don't do the FUD here [04:28] No not encrypting this time [04:28] why would my laptop suddenly be running hot on ubuntu? [04:29] And I don't think I'm doing anything odd but then again I'm a bit of a noob [04:29] solved. [04:29] woozy: making filesystems should take a moment or two [04:29] Finetundra: because all laptops run hot [04:29] reisio, is there a way to at least lower it then? [04:31] Finetundra: improve drivers, decrease usage, increase ventilation/cooling, turn off [04:31] replace with more efficient model (will still get hot) [04:31] replace with "netbook" (portable wireless terminal) [04:31] or merely use as a netbook, regardless of form factor [04:32] reisio, why do you suggest a netbook? === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 [04:34] Well something is definitely wrong than. I've left it go for awhile a couple times [04:36] I guess I'll just shut it off and leave it off for the night, then tomorrow try to install Ubuntu again, but I'll let it reformat and do everything it's way. === Guest17986 is now known as blindsight [04:38] woozy: You can beat the machine [04:38] Courttv: how so??? [04:38] You are smarter than the computer woozy === ubuntu is now known as Guest78970 [04:43] Well I'm trying. So there is definitely a way to make /home it's own separate partition after install? [04:43] woozy: much easier to do during, but yes [04:44] Well it isn't going to smoothly trying to do during install [04:44] whats the issue? [04:44] Ben64: getting stuck at creating ext4 file system thing [04:44] woozy: it usually default installs creating a home partition. [04:46] But does it make it completely separate from the root partition and others. From what I read if you make /home it's own partition when you update os or switch, it won't be affected. [04:47] hey, will a 2xCPU ubuntu box work if I have nginx, node.js and mongoDB all on the same cloud server? [04:47] woozy: it does not by default. separate /home is nice. does it fail at partitioning or...? [04:47] Well I'm just going to call it a night. [04:49] When I did the default install last time I encrypted my /home thinking it'd be a good idea and idk if it was separate or not. I came on here to get help on making it not encrypted and separate and they said just fresh install and make positions like this... [04:49] I followed and just got problems. [04:52] personally, I'd just backup my data and do a fresh install, this time not choosing the encryption option [04:52] My main goals are to a.) get Ubuntu working. B.) have a separate non-encrypted /home partition c.) restore the /home I have saved on external hard drive. I'll be back on in 7 or 8 hours of anyone is going to be on and could help [04:53] what problems did you run into [04:53] ? [04:53] woozy: You can't reinstall over an encrypted partition. You need to format it to remove the encryption. [04:53] probably too late for me woozy, but i'm sure someone will be here [04:53] anyone have experience using tilem [04:54] Xenos1: Using what [04:55] Courttv: I've tried formatting partitions when installing. I'm out for the night.

[05:06] cromagi: install preload and bleachbit aswell [05:06] cromagi, more eyecandy = more system demand = slower system. your choice [05:07] I just want it to be attractive [05:07] lotuspsychje: how do i do that [05:08] cromagi: checkout deviantart for attractive desktop examples on ubuntu [05:08] cromagi: ha [05:08] cromagi: there are a lot of things you can do to customize it; different desktop environments, window managers, etc. [05:08] cromagi: sudo apt-get install preload [05:08] cromagi: same for bleachbit [05:08] what do they do?

[05:11] No [05:11] Where? [05:12] cromagi: scroll up.. [05:12] ok [05:13] Best flavor of ubuntu? :D [05:13] !flavors | cromagi [05:13] cromagi: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [05:13] what do you consider the best? [05:14] cromagi: thats your choice mate, if you want lightweight or not?

Just putting my input out there lol [05:17] cromagi: It works just fine with Spotify [05:18] is it a bad idea to go from 14.04 to 14.10 [05:18] cromagi: if you want light, then xubuntu or lubuntu is designed for lightness. The more flair you have with your system, the more bogged down your system will be [05:18] cromagi: that also depends what you want, LTS or not [05:19] im a dev [05:19] I'm still unhappy with XMir, it doesn't work at all with my GPU :/ [05:20] don't use it?

I was under the impression that Utopic was using it. [05:22] now as i restart it no screen appears only a screen with ubuntu comes [05:22] i did alt + cntl + F1 [05:22] Third party sources disabled [05:22] Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manager. [05:22] when i try to upgrade i get that ^^ [05:22] RahulAN: did you try grub recoverymode? [05:22] cromagi: that is all fine [05:23] lotuspsychje, yes i tried [05:23] cromagi: enable them afterwards again [05:23] how tho [05:23] RahulAN: no luck to boot? [05:23] and also my networl manager stopped [05:23] cromagi: see system settings, updates and software [05:23] RahulAN: maybe try 'fix broken packages' option from recoverymode [05:23] lotuspsychje, i am getting terminal after alt + cntl + F1 [05:24] what changes to we expect to see in ubuntu 15.04? [05:24] lotuspsychje, ok [05:24] cromagi: join #ubuntu+1 for that [05:25] cromagi: more recent Debian unstable snapshots of software, mostly, I'd wager [05:25] how did i get pulled into the courttv channel -_- [05:25] ikr [05:29] If you really know your bash, is the command line a more efficient way for file operations?

[05:29] MarkusDB1: yup [05:29] MarkusDB1: also if you only barely know it [05:30] looking up how to do something in bash even if you know not at all how to do it already can easily save you several thousand million hours of time [05:31] i don't know if this is really related but i'm using an ssh to log into a school computer what are they using exactly [05:31] MarkusDB1: I can second that, just this xmas I got a book on the linux command line, and it has already made me more efficient than any GUI couuld [05:31] because the locate command doesn't work [05:31] Xenos1: uname -a [05:32] Xenos1: which find [05:32] reisio, ? [05:32] Xenos1: commands [05:32] locate [05:32] Xenos1: find / -type f -iname '*file*name*' [05:33] reisio: thanks guys, I'm trying to convince more mac guys to learn the command line and need arguments =) [05:33] the 'locate' database is usually generated from 'find' anyways [05:33] it's just a database, that is generated beforehand (if it was, anyways), making it faster for enduring files (and useless/misleading/annoying for dynamic ones) [05:33] MarkusDB1: free cardigans [05:33] reisio, thanks [05:34] Xenos1: there is a command called updatedb that has to be run to generate the locate database. It is usually set to run daily in cron, but you may have to initialize it using updatedb if you want to use locate right after installing it [05:34] MarkusDB1: maybe this'll help: http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/ [05:34] spending money always enables Mac OS users [05:34] lol [05:35] Hi ..I have wordpress website and all the files are owned by www-data user. If upload file from a user in /var/www/html/site1 the file ownership is owned by that user not from www-data [05:36] MarkusDB1: there are subtle differences between the Mac and Linux versions of bash, FYI [05:36] can sone help me ?? [05:36] ash547: chown www-data path/to/file [05:36] ash547: maybe the #wordpress guys can also guide you [05:36] MarkusDB1: for example, it the latest release of OSX, the alias commands behave differently [05:36] reisio, how would I use that to find a directory [05:36] zerowaitstate: yeah I've noticed that. Also the macs lack of a package manager is very bad. Homebrew is there, but always seem to play catch up with apple breaking stuff in each relase of mac os x. [05:37] ash547: chmod g+s -R /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads [05:37] ash547: then anything created or copied to that dir or sub-dirs will have www-data as the group owner, so it will be readable by wordpress [05:38] nvm [05:38] Xenos1: use -type d [05:39] Has anyone here considered defecting to ArchLinux?

How much RAM? [06:03] You don't want to be putting a square block in a round hole [06:06] intel core 2 CPU T5300 @1.73GHz [06:06] lotuspsychje, it is taking a lot time [06:06] elmalafacha: and the answer to my other question? [06:08] I put lscpu, which info you need? [06:08] elmalafacha: How much RAM... [06:09] wait is too slow [06:11] how can i see that? [06:11] elmalafacha: someone in whatever OS you've got installed now [06:12] *somewhere... [06:12] im sorry whats a OS? [06:12] elmalafacha: do you have windows installed now? [06:12] I did this: sudo dmidecode --type memory [06:12] no, i have ubuntu 14.10 [06:12] but too slow [06:12] elmalafacha: free -mh [06:13] total 983M [06:13] thats the one? [06:13] elmalafacha: so 1GB, use 32 bit [06:14] ok [06:14] thanks a lot [06:14] elmalafacha: always install the amd64 version if your cpu supports 64bit, there is no reason to install the 32bit version if your hardware supports 64bit [06:14] ok [06:14] iceroot: you'd still recommend 64bit with only 1GB RAM? [06:14] somsip: of course [06:14] uh? [06:15] but in installed already and is toooooo slow [06:15] somsip: what if he upgrades the ram to more? why not using amd64 if the cpu supports it? [06:15] elmalafacha: amd64 is not the reason why it is slow [06:15] mm ok, so what can i do? [06:16] iceroot: fair enough, but I ahve always recommended 32bit for <2GB RAM and advised to use caution for <4GB. Maybe I should read more [06:16] elmalafacha: i guess you are using normal ubuntu (with unity), there 1GB ram is not that much, that may be a reason why it is slow [06:16] somsip: https://cl4ssic4l.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/linus-torvalds-about-pae/ everything with 1gb and more will have a benefit of amd64 [06:16] somsip: you do relize that 32 bit runs out of address space in as little as 2GB (signed 32bit number) [06:17] I installed gnome-ubuntu [06:17] iceroot: this is not pae though, eg: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-decide-if-you-should-use-32bit-or-64bit-ubuntu "64 bit - Decreased performance on low-RAM machines." [06:17] somsip: read the part of the article about the virtual address space [06:17] somsip: not related to pae [06:17] jamesd_: yes, it's not RAM access that is the issue here, it's whether 64bit runs slower with low RAM machines, which is what I've always understoof [06:18] somsip: why should amd64 be slower? [06:18] iceroot: fair enough - I have learnt [06:18] iceroot: no idea - jsut soemthing I've tended to see in advice on here and have read in more than one place. But happy to take Linus's word on the matter :) [06:18] somsip: and have in mind, if you have 1gb ram and a vga with 1gb and you are also swapping with 2 gb, you have 4GB, everything handled from the address space [06:19] do you think that goes better if i install a seap memory? [06:19] swap memory === Stu| is now known as Stu|[A] [06:19] iceroot: there is nothing that suggest OP is in that position, but I understand what you're getting at [06:19] elmalafacha: the default installation should have swap [06:19] elmalafacha: if you dont have a swap partition, you should create one [06:20] elmalafacha: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ and this is good to know. [06:20] somsip: i run 64bit mode in 128MB VM's ... no penalty... [06:21] jamesd_: it seems like I've made assumptions based on what I've seen here before and read elsewhere. I need to do some better research before making a blanket recommendation like I did earlier. Simple as that [06:22] somsip: everything fine [06:22] <`hypermist`> I have an issue with a game on ubuntu 14.04 [06:23] iceroot: sure - no argument - I just like to understand why I'm wrong when someone gives a differing view. Stuff to read now :-) === hodlr is now known as kodumulo [06:23] somsip: it might of been true in the early days of 64bit... on really small machines, the binaries were 1-2% bigger and when you had a 1GB harddrive was considered big it made a difference, these days, hard drives are huge in comparison and 64bit cpus are more efficeint and faster. [06:24] jamesd_: still, I was coming at it from a point of view of low RAM, not low HD. Just reaidng through sources of info now. EOT for me :) [06:24] somsip: the issues in the past where mainly with closed source stuff which was only build for 32bit (flash for example) it was difficult to get it working in a 64bit driver. the same for drivers which are nit available in 64bit because of the closed source it was not possible to build them for 64bit but these times are over [06:24] ok, ill check it out, thaks a lot to every one [06:25] somsip: but flash is of course always an issue and should be avoided if possible :) (but not for the amd64 reason) [06:25] iceroot: ok, back off EOT for me. It's this sort of thing that was informing me. This is not old and is well upvoted http://askubuntu.com/questions/7034/what-are-the-differences-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-and-which-should-i-choose [06:26] iceroot: but on that, the pros/cons of his conclusion seem to be questioned === Paul-shen is now known as Paul-kkk [06:28] iceroot: and actually it's older than I thought - 2010.

[09:39] tomodachi, yep [09:40] tomodachi, I already use unetboot in, and that workaround copying .c32 on pendrive, but don't work. [09:40] plankton: your tool might be broken for some reason, you can create the usb from the terminal using dd [09:42] tomodachi, dd if of bs... I tryed too. Show boot error... did I miss some boot flag on it? [09:43] Tryed using a .img too. [09:44] tomodachi, I'll work on it some more time. Thanks. [09:44] plankton: no that is not needed , can you type the exact syntax you used with dd? [09:44] Hello [09:45] sudo dd if=/home/plankton/Downloads/generic-pc-1.8.1.img of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1M [09:45] plankton: it should be sdb [09:45] I'm using iptables to allow access to only one IP. Here is my iptables config: http://codepad.org/R6mxYvZ9 [09:45] not sdb1 [09:46] amberj: allow icmp [09:46] But when I try to wget 192.241.185.65, I get "Connection timed out". [09:47] tomodachi, If I add ICMP rules (http://codepad.org/QH61SGat), then ping works... but wget still does not works [09:47] \ [09:47] amberj: yes my concern was general regarding the fact that you didnt allow ICMP ,which you should [09:48] ok, I will add icmp rules...but any idea why wget isnt working? [09:48] I *cant* even see the iptables logs in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log [09:49] maybe you should use something like ufw or gufw to configure your weird firewall [09:51] amberj: wouldnt you need to configure both machines both of the input and output chain? [09:52] tomodachi, err sorry, but I dont get what you are saying (?) === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [09:53] amberj: that you need an output rule for for port 80 communication in both directions [09:53] for both ip adresses [09:53] and the same for input [09:55] amberj: wich ip is the client and wich is the server? [10:15] Hi there, is it possible that "sudo reboot" breaks the system? [10:16] Suddenly my internet is working really slowly [10:16] Hello [10:16] O_OniGiri: improbable , considering the amount of people using reboot a bug like that would be discovered and fixed fairly quickly [10:16] tomodachi:do you know what could cause the instability that I am facing? [10:17] Which version of ubuntu or other linux could you recommend me for an old pc; i need only remote desktop access and running teamviewer on it [10:17] O_OniGiri: what is the problem, you say slow internet, "break system" could you be more specific? [10:17] Borys: lubuntu or xubuntu are the lightest, but i'd suggest using something better than teamviewer [10:17] tomodachi:Yeah, I mean somehow my internet stays slow now... [10:17] Borys: personally i never got teamviewer working in a modern ubuntu, so i guess a 32bit old one (check what version team viewer supports) [10:18] tomodachi:that's what I call "break system" [10:18] omg, I mean teamspeak, non teamviewer [10:18] and vino-server as rdp [10:18] O_OniGiri: break system can be many things, crashing, disk corruption, constant reboots etc [10:18] O_OniGiri: is it lookups over dns, or speed of downloads that is slow? [10:18] O_OniGiri: is it equally slow from another comp on the same network [10:19] tomodachi:ok... never mind "break system", but what could cause the slow internet suddenly? [10:19] i thought teamspeak was proprietary? [10:19] it's possible to clear my exist instalation and fresh install xubuntu? [10:19] tomodachi:takes forever to load a page [10:19] Ben64: yes, but I need pulseaudio too, so i can only get xubuntu? [10:20] Borys: xubuntu lubuntu ubuntu whatever you like the most really [10:20] Ben64:but isn't ubuntu a bit heavy for old computers? [10:20] Ben64:I am no expert at all... just wondering [10:21] Hmm... `init-checkconf foo.conf` is telling me there's a syntax error, but no line number :\ http://lpaste.net/119297 [10:21] O_OniGiri: quite possibly [10:21] Can I purge system and fresh install xubuntu via ssh on 14.04 ? [10:21] Ben64: lubuntu was nice for me [10:21] or better burn a cd? [10:21] Borys: need to install from a cd/dvd/usb [10:21] athan: do you have working pulseaudio? [10:21] tomodachi:Thanks for your effort, but I gotta study again :P Bye guys [10:22] Borys: fresh installs are usually better [10:22] yep [10:22] s/better/easier [10:22] out of the box ? [10:22] yep! [10:22] 14.04 or 14.10 ? [10:22] awesome :d [10:22] JACK can be a bit painful to set up [10:22] last I remember 14.04 [10:22] but I may be wrong :\ [10:22] use a usb!

[11:45] azi`: "apt-cache policy libgsl0ldbl" should tell you what version is installed. Seems like an odd problem, though [11:47] mcphail: indeed, the problem only occurs when I compile the program with optimization flags and not on all gsl versions :S [11:47] stevenm: i am using shutter for screenshots - its not really "light" but offers some nice functions [11:48] fidel__, yeah I just found that one - is it sluggish?

[11:49] mcphail: fresh [11:49] mcphail: and it works well on all machines, except when i do -O2 it breaks on the latest GSL version [11:49] azi`: very odd, then. One for gdb's superpowers, I suspect [11:50] mcphail: yes gdb actually tells it breaks in a GSL function, now I am figuring out how to get a gsl lib with debug support [11:50] azi`: there are debug libs in the repos [11:50] bazhang, hmm that does videos too? would it eliminate the need for gtk-recordmydesktop ?

[11:56] azi`: now _that's_ a bit trickier. I resort to Google any time I have to do that sort of thing. The method never sticks in my brain [11:56] bazhang, nvm doesn't seem to do any of that [11:56] stevenm, how much ram did you give that vm [11:56] looks like It'll have to be shutter [11:56] bazhang, a gig [11:56] ok [11:57] mcphail: i think i got it.. the problem now is, where to report this thing to? at this point I am not even sure wheter its caused by a bug in my code or not [11:59] azi`: If it is a bug in upstream, report it upstream. If upstream is fixed, ask the Ubuhntu maintainer to bugfix (but that probably won't come on line until the next Ubuntu release) === Guest65322 is now known as mars31 [11:59] azi`: even posting a backtrace to upstream will probably help to narrow things down [12:01] azi`: of course, it might all boil down to a bug in GCC but compiling with "-O2" isn't supposed to break anything. "-O3" is supposed to be the dangerous one [12:02] where are the user's cron's saved? [12:03] mcphail: this is the program in question, in case you're interested to test http://ideone.com/aKnNwo [12:04] expl: /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ === ComradeH1z` is now known as ComradeHaz` [12:05] why don't I get a new email notification until I actually open Evolution ? [12:06] mcphail: thank you [12:06] Hello, I have a quesition. How to customize Ubuntu installer ( Ubiquity? ). I just want to add my custom steps, gather information and pass to scripts which will do some stuff. [12:06] azi`: I'm on a wndows machine just now but will have a look at that this evening [12:06] mcphail: thanks for your time [12:06] hey, efnet down?

If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [12:10] sorry [12:10] i have edubuntu 7.0.4 and I have installed windows 7 on the same machine and now i can't boot both OS's [12:11] what do you land with on boot there user_? [12:11] like, where does it die and what does it say [12:11] i am familiar with windows but not with linux [12:12] user_, edubuntu 7.04 is WAY past end-of-life and is not supported here or anywhere else. For assistance: upgrade to a supported version [12:12] thats cool, just wondering where it dies [12:12] hey, running antiquated *nix is part of the game, is it not? [12:13] no [12:13] r0b0r, still not supported. [12:13] it hasn't been supported for over 6 years [12:13] cfhowlett, Can you help me with Ubuntu Evolution new email notification when the app is closed ? [12:14] well, ok, but some tips on grub or something would be in the spirit [12:14] tip - install a supported version of ubuntu === yesudeep is now known as d9f0ded8d0362950 [12:14] MrN00Bs, I saw that ... didn't respond because I don't know. Guess: no alert if the evolution service isn't running [12:15] cfhowlett, evolution-indicator is installed [12:15] r0b0r, not supported = not supported [12:15] do I need to install mail-evolution-notification ? [12:15] so, what is supported. 11+? [12:15] MrN00Bs, right. I have it too. let me look at something [12:15] r0b0r: supported versions are in the topic [12:16] thanks Ben64 [12:16] cfhowlett, mail-notification-evolution is required I guess [12:16] what about the antiques? [12:16] are there any tor nodes that aren't publicly listed as tor nodes? [12:16] cfhowlett, sudo aptitude search mail-notification-evolution [12:16] if it shows it is installed [12:17] expl you answered your own question [12:17] r0b0r: not supported, as you've been told already [12:17] r0b0r: no i didn't [12:17] MrN00Bs, must be it. I've got evolution but not that app [12:17] tor node doesn't imply public listing, it implies the physical ability to be a tor node [12:18] !behelpful | r0b0r or shutup [12:18] r0b0r or shutup: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [12:18] expl: the attitude is not necessary, and tor is not on topic here [12:18] expl: this isn't a topic for this channel [12:18] MrN00Bs, mildly surprised that it's not included with evol. but ... [12:18] cfhowlett, do you get the new email notifications ? [12:19] cfhowlett, or do get notifications only when you open it ? [12:19] MrN00Bs, I do not until I start the evolution program ... same as you, right? [12:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9897190/ anyone seen this before?! [12:20] cfhowlett, yep now install mail-notification-evolution and close the app after sending an email to yourself [12:20] lol [12:20] sorry guys. i did not mean to be rude. [12:20] where would one find some chat with antiquated systems such as 10? [12:20] MrN00Bs, good to know. and good detective work there, lou! [12:21] r0b0r, #ubuntu-offtopic maybe [12:21] r0b0r: again, not supported, you're not going to find any support [12:21] cfhowlett, I am always helping and kind but girls never understand me [12:21] MrN00Bs, !!! TMI !!! [12:21] i'm not after any support currently I was just curious. [12:21] cfhowlett, what is TMI ? [12:21] MrN00Bs, Too Much (personal) Information [12:22] cfhowlett, don't install it, it has to do with server [12:22] do not install [12:23] MrN00Bs,right [12:23] cfhowlett, apt-get purge mail-notification-evolution [12:23] apt-get autoremove [12:24] MrN00Bs, right, I installed nothing ... just mirroring on my system in response to your initial query [12:24] cfhowlett, ok [12:24] I fixed it [12:24] my /tmp was missing [12:25] athan: hi again [12:26] im dont ask before coz battery discharged, so again.. [12:26] im installing lubuntu 14.10 atm [12:27] so all I need is install puvcontrol or smth to get working pulseaudio? === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [12:30] Borys: Hey, yeah it should work out-of-the-box [12:30] hi somebody told me to run sudo su to get root [12:30] sudo su [12:30] expl: not correct [12:30] !root | expl [12:30] expl: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:31] sorry wrong window [12:31] what do you mean [12:31] what are you trying to do? [12:31] expl, if you don't know how to get root, you're probably better off not using root. learn more, root less [12:31] i want to see the /root dir [12:31] i'm learning linux [12:32] sudo ls /root [12:32] How can i be root when Ubuntu starts?

[12:34] expl, in Unix world it is typical to use a non-root account for the majority of operations. This is different than in Windows where many users are accustomed to using admin acounts 100% of the time. [12:34] YamakasY: apparently saying hello is not allowed here?

[12:39] k1l [12:39] because it messes with the env setup. use sudo -i if you really need a root shell [12:39] nice [12:39] (which you pretty much never need) [12:40] k1l, depends on what you do [12:40] but for 99% of the ubuntu users, "i need root" is just because they follow a wrong howto made by guys not using ubuntu. most times it not needed. [12:40] cfhowlett, I have a MBP from Mid-2010 I am thinking about wiping it and installing Ubuntu, what do you think ? [12:40] ben64 , sorry, just waking up and reading back a little thought someone was trying to find out hhow to get root on ubuntu [12:41] k1l, wrong, if you need root rights you need to sudo [12:41] MrN00Bs: MBP is it a 15" inch one with dual gfx cards?! [12:41] http://pastebin.com/Sdeu7W9D [12:41] marc__: ok but thats still never the right answer to anything [12:41] YamakasY: no. wrong env setups are wrong env setups. you cant hope that you just have the case where the env setup doesnt matter. its like playing lottery [12:41] YamakasY: http://pastebin.com/Sdeu7W9D [12:41] expl: what do you want to do?

[12:43] Is there Channel for Ubuntu in Lebanon? Please can you guide? [12:44] k1l, what is you issue with javi404 ? [12:44] *your [12:45] sudo su - giving same result , k1l [12:45] sudo allows a permitted user to execute a command as the superuser or another user, as specified by the security policy. [12:45] can everyone just stop with that command already? [12:46] expl, you do NOT need root to "learn linux". who ever told you you need root to learn linux is ... misinformed at best [12:46] !sudo | r420r [12:46] r420r: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

[12:48] r0b0r: there is no correct password in ubuntu for "su" [12:49] ;) [12:49] By default, the Root account password is locked in Ubuntu. [12:50] expl: ubuntu doesnt use the root account. it is differen than other linux distributions. you dont need to be root all the time like you need to be "administrator" on windows. if you need a program to have root permissions you use sudo. but dont run everything with sudo [12:50] expl: running everything as root is malicious. [12:51] well shit it's ten minutes to beer o'clock. [12:51] better get a head start. [12:52] k1l: I am following online guide to learn Linux [12:52] expl: that online guide is wrong! its not made for ubuntu [12:52] k1l: I am not make malicious to Ubuntu [12:52] expl: what online guide?

Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [12:55] expl: that guide is very old. [12:55] expl: almost certainly out of date, and wrong in places. [12:55] "You should never use normal sudo to start graphical applications as Root. You should use gksudo to run such programs." Why is this?

Just keep hanging around there [13:06] r00t_: what doesn't work? === doh is now known as doh_ [13:07] r00t_: what's the result from installing an nvidia proprietary driver? do you get no display at all? you likely have to create a customised xorg.conf file to state which card you want as primary and so on [13:07] well I manage to get working the nvidia gpu with the two monitors connected but the third one is connected to the intel graphics gpu that just stop working with proprietary drivers installed for nvidia+ [13:08] ok wel you said nothing about that in your first message :) [13:08] sorry :D [13:08] trintj: $ sudo cd /root [13:08] [sudo] password for jason: [13:08] sudo: cd: command not found [13:08] expl: why are you doing that?

[13:09] expl: i told you 37 minutes ago how to look in that directory, why don't you want to read? looking in that directory doesn't let you learn linux, there is likely nothing in there at all! [13:09] expl: if you want to "become root" then "sudo -s", but I would read more documentation :) [13:09] Jan 27 2015 04:32:06 sudo ls /root [13:11] daftykins: can you point me to some article that explains how to configure well the xorg.conf file and how to generate the file configuration? [13:11] expl, you can learn linux without root. Simple as that. [13:11] Ben64: any chance you could join us in #ubuntu-ops for a moment please [13:12] r00t_: nope, but my suggestion doesn't apply so much since you gave the full story :) it might be handy to pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log whilst you have an nvidia proprietary driver installed and this display setup attached to the relevant cards [13:12] daftykins, -it is the italian chat, don't bring people there that are not italian [13:12] lebanon != italy [13:12] Ben64: It not work, I tried.

Why do you think it didn't work? [13:14] daftykins: actually i'm not using that computer, it's busy right now, it does change something if I use a ubuntu based distro?

But read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:16] daftykins: the xorg.conf file is the same on all ubuntu based distros, just need to know how to edit it [13:16] popey: that will only help him break his system even quicker ;) [13:16] df -h shows 1gb out of 1gb used, disk usage analyzer shows only a few kb [13:16] r00t_: "ubuntu based" - sorry, those are not supported here.

[13:40] i mean i wasn't opening files.. [13:40] literally it was sql query for 100 results, sha1 those results, do an insert... repeat a million times [13:41] waaataaw: i guess its possible [13:41] i've limited to 10k now :) [13:41] at least i can clear it out [13:41] waaataaw: type "yes" on a terminal and see if /tmp loses space? [13:41] wihtout rebooting [13:42] haha yes [13:43] waaataaw: ha, confirmed. i set my scrollback to unlimited and now i'm watching /tmp lose space [13:44] nice piece of detective work there.

[17:09] dupingping: disable them and install x11 and x11 extra screen saver. [17:09] dupingping: its just plain stupid to run a desktop as root on ubuntu. [17:10] yes, it's stupid. but already logged in as root, it must don't work? [17:10] dupingping: dont think running a desktop as root is the same than running as administrator on windows. its a big difference [17:10] If I have a program running on a server, and I want to get back into it, but it is running in screen how do I do this?

[17:18] dupingping: stop it! [17:18] k1l, please more kindly speak me. [17:18] [jasper]: I believe it should have made a copy of your config file in the same path as the normal one. [17:18] in a terminal, i use xclip to copy "$PWD" i can then paste it by clicking the middle mouse button but i can't ctrl+shift+v it it's not save in my clipboard. [17:18] dupingping: you are not supposed to run a desktop as root on ubuntu. so it doesnt matter if the screensaver works or doenst work. its not an issue if it works and its not an issue if it doesnt work. [17:19] how can I copy my present working directory [17:19] when I have a process open and running on ubuntu, what is the command to get back into it? [17:19] Hi [17:19] <[jasper]> it did Pici, should i just overwrite the other config file? [17:19] [jasper]: yep, thats the best options.

[17:28] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9901477/ [17:28] ArshiaAghaei: hmm [17:29] Hi:) [17:29] Takumo: Looks like the best way of doing that would be to install lsb-invalid-mta, which fulfills the mail-transport-agent dependency, while not actually installing to do anything. See the lsb-invalid-mta package description for more. [17:29] is metacity the best window manager for someone to use in 14.10 if they like pre-unity gnome?

However whenever I reboot with the nvidia card active, it comes up with a blank screen, so I have to Ctrl-Alt-F1, use prime-select intel and then reboot [18:11] paulltk, ok try installing with legacy mode on, that means turning off uefi mode [18:11] (also my gnome shell extensions are all disabled) [18:11] k1l: What have you done ???!!!!!! You messed up with my whole system !!!!! [18:13] BluesKaj_, i don't see a option in bios where i can turn uefi mode off? By the way when i use gparted i can see mijn internal drive with the partitions [18:13] Hi all [18:14] ArshiaAghaei, are you in china by any chance? then http://dl.google.com is not available to you. [18:14] OerHeks: No. [18:15] ArshiaAghaei: Hi [18:15] pratik_: Who are you ???!!! [18:15] lmao [18:15] daftykins, where are you? :( [18:17] bah [18:19] ArshiaAghaei, "sudo apt-get update -f " might do the trick < http://askubuntu.com/questions/410519/cannot-install-anything-via-apt-get-problem-with-apt-get-update [18:19] paulltk, which ubuntu version are you trying to install? [18:19] BluesKaj_, ubuntu 14.01.1 LTS [18:21] paulltk, http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ [18:22] hi there. real noob here. trying to figure out why im getting "system policy prevents changes" when trying to unlock a user account. the account has all access [18:24] hi,im a user of ubuntu 14.04 LTS,i have a problem to install and use usb wifi adapter d link dwa-140,anybody can help me? [18:24] I have a few questions on accessibility. Anyone who can support me w/ that? I don’t want to ‘just ask’ here, since it’s quite involved and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time… [18:26] Hello! [18:26] does anybody know why these servers are down? [18:26] Err http://extras.ubuntu.com vivid/main Sources [18:26] 404 Not Found [18:26] Err http://extras.ubuntu.com vivid/main amd64 Packages [18:26] 404 Not Found [18:26] Err http://extras.ubuntu.com vivid/main i386 Packages [18:27] that probably means it does not have a package for your ubuntu version in that repo [18:27] the server itself seems up eithne [18:27] eithne: iirc, extras is being retired. [18:27] eithne, they aren't down, they just don't have any packages in them for your ubuntu version [18:28] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2015-January/038629.html [18:28] well but i get this error while trying to upgrade to Vivid... so why I can't access the 15.04 repos during the upgrade? [18:28] Pici, or is it already retired? [18:29] eithne: Disable the repository then. It doesn't exist for the new release. [18:29] oh, ok I'll try! [18:30] eithne, yes that repos isn't working for 15.04, just comment the line or remove it from our sources.list [18:30] eithne: Since you're upgrading to a pre-release version, the fix hasn't been put into the installer in previous releases to remove it yet. [18:30] your sources [18:30] well I have to comment the extras? [18:30] !ubuntu+1 [18:30] Vivid Vervet is the codename for Ubuntu 15.04 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [18:30] eithne, yes [18:31] why are these being retired? [18:31] I am having trouble with my filesystem, two times now after i reboot some .txt files appear empty although i had saved the data [18:31] eithne: Because the pacakges are not being published on that server anymore. [18:31] Oh, thanks for helping me :) [18:32] OerHeks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9902348/ [18:33] frenzarectah: sorry, neighbour popped by for wifi troubles of her own :P [18:33] ArshiaAghaei: what happened? === Snowstormer is now known as cats [18:35] daftykins, no prob :D [18:37] k1l: I don't see the Install button in Software center. [18:37] hello , fellow ubuntu users :) [18:37] What now ????!!!!! [18:37] frenzarectah: can you try running "sudo modprobe rt2800usb" then pastebin (using that site) "ip a" again? [18:38] ArshiaAghaei: forget about software center for now. we need the more informations from apt-get to get to that issue [18:38] ArshiaAghaei: are you sure your country doesnt block that traffic? [18:39] daftykins, in pvt === `ph8 is now known as ph8 [18:39] better use synaptic package manager [18:40] frenzarectah: err which command did those lines come from? [18:40] ArshiaAghaei: that seems to be a known problem for using https and google in iran [18:40] the modprobe [18:41] ArshiaAghaei: see this: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-beginners/BmSov0451Dw [18:41] is there a way to run "bleachbit -c --preset" during the boot process (before the GUI/Login window is displayed)? [18:42] frenzarectah: yay, that brought up another wireless interface \o/ so now what i would like you to try, is to shutdown your computer - use only the intended D-Link adapter we're trying to get working (unplug the other one) then boot back up and see if it connects to your home wifi. you might need to run "sudo modprobe rt2800usb" again, possibly also to then log out and back in [18:42] so [18:43] i'll repeat ur words,in order to be sure [18:43] !u | frenzarectah [18:43] frenzarectah: Shortened English is difficult for some non-native English speakers to read. Please use full words instead. Thanks! [18:44] now i will reboot the computer,remove the wifi that works,and at the restart i will run sudo modprobe rt2800usb [18:44] is it correct? === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [18:46] frenzarectah: only if the network manager program doesn't already see a wireless network, yeah [18:47] I need to unmount a USB drive but when I try to safely remove it a window says "Volume is busy". The process is mediascanner-service-2.0. What is that service? How can I stop that or how can I disable it? [18:48] daftykins, ok brb [18:51] When I enable ‘large mouse cursor’ in Accessibility, I see no change in pointer size. Did I mess something up? [18:54] ChristW: tried logout + in? [18:54] MeXTuX: what distro is this? perhaps you've installed some kind of media scanner [18:54] daftykins: Still there after a power loss :-) [18:54] !info unity-scope-mediascanner2 | MeXTuX [18:54] MeXTuX: unity-scope-mediascanner2 (source: unity-scope-mediascanner): Media scanner scope for Unity. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2+14.10.20141013-0ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 970 kB, installed size 1516 kB [18:54] It _may_ be because I have a 2-user setup that I switch between... [18:55] Greetings everyone, i have a question, my /var/log/kern.log is being flooded with lines like "Jan 27 18:37:28 HOSTNAME kernel: [ 8546.271853] UDP: bad checksum. From 84.156.153.3:16445 to MYIP:PORT ulen 47" from different IPs all over the place. Can anyone give a hint on what can it be? Thank you. [18:55] daftykins: Ubuntu 14.10 [18:56] dc__: you have a network connection on your computer that is directly internet facing? [18:56] MeXTuX: So if you're not using this Unity Scope (which is not installed by default) then you probably don't want to have it or the mediascanner2.0 package installed at all. [18:57] Hei daftykins, yes i do, no NAT router here [18:57] daftykins, it works :O [18:58] but now i want to understand why :D [19:02] i'm trying to configure a VPN connection and it's mostly working but i can't get DNS to work. a bunch of articles say to add the nameserver address to the ipv4 tab in network manager but i'm not getting the right name resolution [19:02] hola [19:03] hellow agrecan [19:03] if i nslookup vpn.foobar.com i get a "server can't find...NXDOMAIN" error, if i nslookup vpn.foobar.com x.x.x.x and specify the vpn dns server, it works [19:03] ses1984: I'd help but I'm a little bit VPN noob [19:03] so i believe almost everything is working except dns resolution === blubberbop is now known as phoenixz [19:04] I pretty much use OpenVPN vanilla [19:04] the vpn part is all working i just need to figure out how to get domain name resolution to query the vpn dns server === mion is now known as Guest39754 [19:05] dc__: then there's probably all kind of malformed packet antics going on over your connection, hard to say what's up [19:05] dc__: invest in a router :P [19:05] frenzarectah: did you need to run the command, or could you see wireless networks instantly? [19:06] daftykins, no i have to run the command [19:06] but the command seems not work [19:07] because the output is this: libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:686 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/rt2870sta.conf line 1: ignoring bad line starting with 'exit' [19:07] frenzarectah: *shrug* you can put the module name into /etc/modules to load it on every boot [19:08] daftykins: indeed mister it's a must to, it suddently stoped 30 min ago. I was verifying those IPs and they were from everywere (China Japan USA ...). I was getting worried that it could be an attack :( [19:09] Hi. I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Few days ago problem with launcher counter/badge has appeared. It becomes very-very small. Does anyone have the same problem/solution for it? Screenshot of problem (psensor temperature counter) here http://i.imgur.com/6oXmN8N.png. Thnx for help :) [19:09] dc__: could well be. botnets or some such [19:09] daftykins: thank you anyway mister [19:10] frenzarectah: so open the terminal, type "sudo nano /etc/modules" to open the text editor 'nano' with the modules file... then on a new line at the bottom of everything, type in "rt2800usb" then hit ctrl+X to quit whilst saving, it'll prompt so say yes to save and enter when it shows the filename /etc/modules [19:10] then it'll be loaded very boot and should work auto [19:13] daftykins, ok ok done ;) [19:13] Hi, can someone tell me how to make the middle-button copy/paste again? I could earlier select with the left button and then paste with the middle one [19:14] but i want to know why that error message pls [19:14] frenzarectah: no idea, just happy it works. [19:14] Firefly67: are you using unity? [19:15] I don't know, what is that? [19:15] I am using ubuntu [19:15] what version of ubuntu are you using [19:15] ok, just plain old ubuntu [19:15] I think so [19:15] ok i will retry to reboot and see if it works again ;) [19:15] Greetings, all. I want to verify the upgrade command for a single package: [19:15] apt-get install --only-upgrade=true package [19:16] Is that right? [19:16] are you talking about Ubuntu One? It has popped up with a cloud icon on the toolbar [19:17] What is the difference between using `apt` and using `apt-get`? [19:17] seanz: Yes, though it may upgrade other dependant packages. [19:18] Jordan_U: That's a good thing though, right? [19:19] seanz: Yes, though I guess it depends on why you don't want other packages to also be upgraded ("sudo apt-get upgrade"). [19:19] I'm trying to upgrade libc6: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2485-1/ [19:20] seanz: Are you running 10.04 or 12.04? [19:20] nf7: "apt' is the whole package, where 'apt-get'm "get" is one tool of many ... ( try apt-cache show , apt-cache search , apt-cache depends .. among many many tools . [19:20] Pici: Some of both. === BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away [19:21] Bashing-om: Is there any real different between using `apt search hello` and `apt-cache search hello`? All I can tell is that the apt output looks nicer. [19:21] seanz: You only need to supply the --only-upgrade parameter, not '=true' after it. [19:22] seanz: also what Jordan_U questioned about why you don't want to install other security upgrades that might be available. [19:22] Pici: I got an error if I didn't specify =true [19:22] Hi. I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Few days ago problem with launcher counter/badge has appeared. It becomes very-very small. Does anyone have the same problem/solution for it?

[19:22] seanz: weird, no issues here. [19:22] Pici: Your point is valid. [19:22] Hi everyone, i am looking for a tutorial on seting up a mail server on an ubuntu vps. I tried some but i could only get partial functionality. I spent a few days but couldn't do it. Does anybody know any link(s) regarding seting up an email server on ubuntu 14.04 ? [19:23] nf7: Well. like all tools, it depends on the information you are seeking . [19:23] nf7: I would say that "man apt" is a good explanation of the differences between "apt foo" and "apt-{get,cache} foo". [19:23] whopazz: sure nvidia :) [19:25] naftilos76: do you already read this ? https://www.exratione.com/2014/05/a-mailserver-on-ubuntu-1404-postfix-dovecot-mysql/ ? :) [19:26] thanks man, already done it twice. [19:26] anybody else? [19:26] k1l: How did you found I'm Iranian ? [19:27] is there a way to run "bleachbit -c --preset" during the boot process (before the GUI/Login window is displayed)? [19:28] ArshiaAghaei: i think something like that :) https://ipinfo.io/109.125.167.87 [19:28] Aha ... [19:28] Pici: I got this error: E: Sense only is not understood, try true or false.

[19:31] seanz: You need to ask a real question before we can help.

How do you install it ? [19:31] SWeg: Please ask a real question first. [19:31] i think he is just a troll...

[19:33] yes [19:33] stability is nice [19:33] heh :P likely story [19:34] lol [19:34] i did thoug :D [19:34] though* [19:35] daftykins: Easy enough to verify.

[19:35] jhutchins_wk: and to fake [19:35] i dont know how to fake so yeah [19:35] it should say 12.04 [19:35] did it? [19:35] ArshiaAghaei: not really, it might end up breaking the law, so you will need to look into this one for yourself [19:37] daftykins: I would rather to break to whole law than being a guy who cannot download anything. [19:37] ArshiaAghaei: yeah but i'm certainly not being responsible for getting someone taken away by their local authorities ;) === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 [19:39] daftykins: Ok,But where should i go to fix my problem ??????

Few days ago problem with launcher counter/badge has appeared. It becomes very-very small. Does anyone have the same problem/solution for it? Screenshot of problem (psensor temperature counter) here http://i.imgur.com/6oXmN8N.png. Thnx for help :) [19:41] ArshiaAghaei: please don't message me anymore. [19:41] epson #linuxmint [19:41] is it possible to use the mini.iso to install when you are at a location that requires a router password ? [19:41] Ok. [19:41] Well , looks like no one can help me here , is it ???? [19:42] grepper: you mean like a web proxy? [19:42] ArshiaAghaei: blame your government for that [19:42] daftykins: well, I want to help a friend install on an old laptop that has only a cd drive, and we will be doing it a a pub with public wifi [19:43] that requires I enter a password for access [19:43] When I switch to another user that has ‘zoom in’ enabled (desktop magnification), why do I get 2 mouse pointers? They both move when I move the mouse. [19:44] grepper: oh i see, so a hotspot yeah. if you set the MAC address of a working laptop to be it, then agree to the hotspot page, then install it should run - but good luck getting on wifi from mini installs :) alternatively, you should run mini.iso on it whilst wired into a second laptop which is sharing the wifi === mEck0_ is now known as mEck0 [19:44] grepper: er, the MAC to be the same as the intended system's one, i mean [19:44] Hey! This is no my fault. And : We cannot talk about the policy in the IRC , because we cannot change it. [19:44] ArshiaAghaei: It would be better to get information from other people who are in your country and who know what works and what is and isn't safe. [19:45] daftykins: hm, I guess I could use my galaxy s3 for that ..., so set the gs3 mac to be the same as the laptop? [19:45] ablest1980: thanks! [19:45] jhutchins_wk: All Right , Do you know where should i go ??? [19:45] yw [19:46] grepper: you'd still have this problem of getting it onto wireless which would be painful. does it not boot from USB flash drive? [19:46] daftykins: less complicated, is there anything in between the dvd and the mini.iso? like a 700 mb image [19:46] grepper: oh actually hang on, there's a CD you can burn that's a chainloader that will boot flash drives on systems that don't support them - i can't remember the name though [19:46] grepper: nope. all too big now [19:46] doubtful about the usb, though it may be possible [19:47] hm, I may just take it home with me if he lets me and do it on my network [19:47] grepper: i think this is it - http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/ [19:48] I thought maybe there was a option you could pass to the installer for a router password or something, faint hope it seems [19:48] daftykins: ok, thanks [19:49] grepper: Those proxy pages aren't a standard interface, so for such a feature you'd need to make hard coded procedures (or heuristics) for each login page.

[20:07] question I am curious when grub boots the kernel how does the kernel know where the file system is and root directory not even sure how linux knows the file system structure and the drive it needs to uses for it? [20:07] Hello, I can't get my motorola bluetooth headphones to pair with ubuntu 14.10. The OS never sees it. Does anyone here have an idea on how I can get ubuntu to see my headphones? This worked in 14.04. [20:08] it i does the kernel know where to go for /sbin/init [20:09] osguy: Verry simply put , very rudimentary . grub passes that info onto the kernel . [20:09] MotherMGA: is ur 14.10 a fresh install? [20:09] votlon: yes [20:10] so grub is the one that figures out the file system or network file systems and then loads the kernel and tells the kernel where / is and what file system driver it needs [20:10] MotherMGA: did u install any additional bluetooth drivers? [20:10] votlon: no, I did not [20:10] MotherMGA: check your additional drivers in system settings [20:10] so that the kernel can find /sbin/init to start the services [20:11] is that correct [20:11] osguy: Yepper : see : https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/#a_bootloader . [20:11] volton: it only recommends graphics drivers. is there a way to search for bluetooth drivers? [20:11] so you can tell grub to load / from the network and uses a local HDD linux kernel [20:12] or basically tell grub the location of the kernel and the root directories / folders for it [20:13] votlon: it only recommends graphics drivers. is there a way to search for bluetooth drivers? [20:13] MotherMGA: as far as I know the bluetooth drivers would be a part of the kernel groups stuf [20:14] is it possible to put all folders on seperate network computers i.e /bin /sbin /var ,...etc and only have /boot folder with the linux kernel on the local machine [20:15] osguy: Again, yes . Grub us very veratile .. you can tell it what/where and if it is acceptd, will pass it onto the kernel . ( grub will check/verify) . [20:15] osguy: why would you want to make it so slow and dependant to use? [20:15] osguy: I'm not sure, I've never seen anything setup that way, but I guess you can put bin anyplace and still run them [20:15] because i know you can do PXE booting with grub and have the whole iso on a different system or whole kernel and filesystem on a seperate system [20:15] hey guys. trying to expand a luks partition in this VM and having issues. is anyone around that can help out?

Is tere a way to check what kernel modules I need to recompile after I build and install a new kernel from source? [22:29] alias_neo: thats up to you [22:29] alias_neo: just pick what you need or steal and adapt the ubuntu defaults [22:30] it was my understanding that my modules won't work anymore after I do update? So how do I know wht modules are no longer working? [22:30] alias_neo: you can find the current kernel config under /boot. Copy it to the kernel source directory as ".config" and type "make olddefconfig" to update the config to the new requirements [22:31] Specifically I mean things built as part of third party tools [22:32] hi [22:32] for example (please correct if I misunderstand) I updated the kernel on a box running kvm/libvirt/qemu, after which I had to dpkg-reconfigure before it would work again [22:33] hello :D [22:33] alias_neo: then look for anything using dkms [22:33] Hi kia [22:33] Ben64: What do mean by "look"? [22:33] alias_neo if you don't get an answer here, there's also #ubuntu-kernel [22:33] MonkeyDust: Thanks [22:34] :) [22:34] alias_neo: theres a folder called "dkms" with all the built modules like vbox stuff [22:34] my classmate and me have changed to ubuntu this week, is there a recommended screen sharer for it? [22:34] and I* [22:34] Ben64 great, thank you [22:35] LurkAshFlake: vino? [22:35] ty [22:36] alias_neo: no idea why you had to dpkg-reconfigure for libvirt/kvm. I've never had to do that. Virtualbox or vmware is likely to be more difficult, though. === swordsmanz is now known as hugbot [22:37] mcphail Not sure, ubuntu held back the kernel and headers so I aptitude safe-upgrade installed it, then I had to reconfigure before it would run [22:38] alias_neo: aptitude hasn't been supported in Ubuntu for a while. You might have been better with plain old apt-get. [22:39] LurkAshFlake: Sharing files between 2 'buntus ? [22:39] yes [22:40] he installed it a second time but it boot automatically on windows 8 without asking [22:40] mcphail i tried apt-get but it refused to let me update becuase it's held back, so the instructions i found suggested an aptitude safe-upgrade or something to that effect) [22:41] mcphail: aptitude is in main, what makes you think that it's not supported in Ubuntu? [22:41] alias_neo: if it is held back you need to apt-get dist-upgrade [22:41] Jordan_U: it hasn't been recommended since multiarch, as far as I am aware [22:41] mcphail I'm sure I tried that also but again it wouldn't allow me [22:42] mcphail: The multiarch problems have been fixed.

I was flamed on here a while ago for recommending aptitude! [22:42] Is there a tutorial that explain how to install a grub booter so that he can select ubuntu (without needing the usb stick and the option Try ubuntu) [22:43] How would I install an older version of a program? [22:43] my main concern is, I'm about to build the latest stable kernel from kernel.org with grsecurity patch, when i install that, can i expect it to break things like kvm again and require manual intervention or should my moules just work? === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [22:43] edrahn: sudo apt-get install = [22:43] alias_neo: as far as I know, aptitude safe-upgrade is _supposed_ to hold things back so no idea why that worked for you [22:43] EriC^^: it says it can't find it [22:44] edrahn: it's probably in older ubuntu version's repositories [22:44] alias_neo: the easiest thing is to install and see. GRUB will always let you boot an older kernel if it doesn;t work [22:44] mcphail interesting, I have no idea why it behaved that way then [22:45] !bootinfo | LurkAshFlake [22:45] LurkAshFlake: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems.

[22:45] edrahn: check apt-cache show | grep Version to see what's available, or apt-cache policy maybe [22:46] mcphail Sounds good thanks, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious [22:47] * mcphail is very expert in mucking up kernels and rolling back in shame [22:47] EriC^^: cool, thanks [22:48] I'm trying to install ubuntu server on an old Dell PowerEdge 1650, the installer (Command line or expert command line) hangs at the partitioner, any ideas why? [22:48] one more question [22:49] can I assume that the default kernel config it suitable for most situations or is there somewhere i should get custom configs from? [22:49] alias_neo: it's best to wait for a problem to manifest before you try to fix a problem, yes [22:49] that applies outside of the realm of computers as well [22:50] reisio sure, but I'm an engineer, i prefer to prevent, then wait for them to arise [22:50] mmhmmm [22:50] alias_neo: only problem with default kernel config from Ubuntu is debugging options are turned on. Switching them off will reduce build time [22:51] alias_neo don't use the kernel in prodection envoironment, at first... break it, then fix it [22:51] MonkeyDust, how will I know if it's not working right if it isn't crashing/panicking etc? [22:52] alias_neo: there's no safety factors with computers, it's pretty much an exact science, know what you want and get it done. [22:52] mcpahil thanks, I'll keep that in mind, I suppose that should improve performance too? I find in my development that debugging=slow [22:52] alias_neo if it doesnt crash, you know it's working [22:53] alias_neo: most of the debugging options don't affect performance. The ones which do are flagged up in menuconfig. They do add a lot to the size and build time, though [22:53] alias_neo: For most normal, general purpose use a stock distribution kernel will be adequate. They throw in as many features as they can since it's modular. [22:53] great, thanks all for your input it's appreciated [22:53] hi [22:53] alias_neo: If you need a special kernel for something, you're likely to know that, either from project documentation or a lot deeper knowledge of kernel functions than you have right now. === `hypermi- is now known as `hypermist` [22:54] alias_neo: A few variants like realtime are often packaged for a distro, beyond that you can go to kernel.org and learn about customizing. [22:54] jhutchins_it's all in the interest of learning, I had my wife but me a new microserver for christmas so i could learn, call it a hobby, so atm I'm playing with kvm and grsecurity kernel patches [22:54] alias_neo: the only other thing that might be worth tweaking is the kernel preemption method, depending on whether your running a desktop or server [22:55] *you're [22:55] alias_neo: Building your own kernel (and getting it to work) is a good intermediate learning linux task. [22:55] jhutchins_wk Great, then that's what I'll do. [22:56] !custom kernel [22:56] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [22:56] mcphail server, infact, so much of a server that it's totaly GPU-less, even the Xeon it's running is without a GPU, took some time to figure out why the damn thing wasn't booting at first :D [22:57] alias_neo: headless is the only way to go! Displays are so 20th century [22:59] mcphail certainly is, especially when the idle power consumption of my server more than triples when I stick my gaming desktop's GPU in it (which i had to do to install the kvm host) [22:59] Hi guys. I'm looking for a outline for linux. Can somebody suggest me which outliner to use? === Shaun_ is now known as Shaun [22:59] Pietjepuk, pleae educate me, what is an outline? [23:00] alias_neo: An outliner is a computer program that allows text to be organized into discrete sections that are related in a tree structure or hierarchy. Text may be collapsed into a node, or expanded and edited. Outliners are typically used for computer programming, collecting or organizing ideas, as personal information management or for project management. Mind mappers and wikis are related types of software. [23:01] Pietjepuk Thanks I'll add it to my list of things to read, I'm surprised, as a software engineer I've never heard of it [23:02] Pietjepuk hope you find what you need [23:02] I hope this is easy. On my 14.04 desktop box I think I must have clicked "don't upgrade" instead of "remind me later" on the 14.10 available dialog. Now I can't get it back :( [23:03] open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [23:03] and you'll do it from the commandline [23:03] alias_neo: thank you [23:03] msapiro: First, I recommend you stay on 14.04 and just wait until 16.04 comes out -- LTS releases are more stable and require less attention. [23:04] msapiro: However, if you are certain you want to upgrade, go to the Update Manager's settings and check the release upgrades tab [23:04] msapiro: There should be a notification setting. [23:04] alias_neo: "apt-get dist-upgrade" is *not* for upgrading from one release of Ubuntu to another. [23:04] * alias_neo goes oops === andy_ is now known as Guest51269 [23:05] Jordan_U and all these years I thought it was! [23:05] theadmin: I already upgraded 2 other boxes. This was the last one. Also, I've set the notification setting, but it doesn't help. [23:05] Jordan_U what does it actually do? [23:05] msapiro: Meh. Just bring up a terminal and "sudo do-release-upgrade" [23:05] alias_neo: APT has two upgrade mechanisms. [23:06] theadmin: it tells me no upgrade is available. [23:06] alias_neo: One is a "dumb" upgrade (the "upgrade" command) which literally just updates all packages. If there are new dependencies, the packages that have new dependencies will be deemed impossible to install and skipped. [23:06] alias_neo: It upgrades installed packages, allowing for the possibility of installing new packages or removing existing ones as needed to resolve dependancies. [23:06] msapiro: What results : grep Prompt= /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades ? [23:06] Hello, I want to install 14.04 LTS with latest updates, so i don't want waste banwidth for downloading it's old iso image, and then do a complete update! Is there any alternative way to install? [23:06] alias_neo: The other is the "smart" upgrade system, dist-upgrade, which takes care of new dependencies as well [23:06] !minimal | Bashing-om [23:06] Bashing-om: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD === zz_saschpe is now known as saschpe [23:07] theadmin Jordan_U thanks, i always thought, for whatever reason "dist-upgrade" = "distribution upgrade" [23:07] Jordan_U: Thanks .. had a 'more' page and did not see that . playing catch up now . [23:07] * MortezaE thinks Jordan_U answered him [23:07] alias_neo: Fairly logical assumption. [23:08] Bashing-om: You're welcome. [23:08] alias_neo: I think it sorta does that on Debian if you use a branch name rather than a release name (i.e. "stable" as opposed to "wheezy") [23:08] alias_neo: Ubuntu operates differently though, so... [23:09] theadmin I see, thanks for the heads up [23:09] theadmin: FWIW 'wheezy' and 'stable' point to the same repo in debian - i believe its aliases and symlinks and such, but don't quote me on that [23:09] (just an observation) [23:09] teward|pc: Oh, they do for *now*, the thing is, when the next "stable" release comes out that will change [23:09] teward|pc: "stable" will point to the new release, but "wheezy" will still be, well, Wheezy. [23:10] theadmin: where'd they state that? (LINK!) [23:10] theadmin: well, yea, DUH [23:10] Bashing-om: Prompt=normal [23:10] theadmin: but i meant, 'stable'==currentstable, 'oldstable'==olderstable, 'sid'==unstable(ALWAYS!), etc. [23:10] teward|pc: Ah, surely. [23:10] theadmin: that pattern won't change, but you're right. [23:10] theadmin: i was not specific enough [23:10] Sid is always unstable, huh. [23:10] theadmin: afaik, yup. [23:11] I didn't know that, but I guess that makes sense given the character the name is based on. [23:11] Anyways, back to Ubuntu discussion [23:12] anyone know how to fix console w/ ubuntu 14.04 & nvidia drivers? im seeing some form of distorted text [23:13] kantlive-: can you be more specific? Screenshot? [23:13] mcphail: let me take a photo [23:14] mcphail: https://www.dropbox.com/s/04w0epcssvy8123/2015-01-27%2018.13.57.jpg?dl=0 [23:15] msapiro: With that prompt set, I would expect that you see a relase-upgrade option in 14.04 to 14.10 .. Sorry, I know of nothing else . [23:15] kantlive-: that _is_ an odd one. Not one I've seen before, I'm afraid [23:16] mcphail: splash even works ok [23:16] Bashin-om: You and me both. I've looked and grepped and can't find a switch for it. [23:17] kantlive-: is this using the open source or proprietary drivers? [23:17] mcphail: proprietary [23:17] kantlive-: which card and which driver version? [23:18] mcphail: NV GTX 980 346 driver [23:19] kantlive-: from xorg-edgers PPA? [23:19] mcphail: yes, the card isnt supported on the official ppa [23:19] And is the graphical desktop OK? [23:23] mcphail: yeah. works fine [23:25] kantlive-: if you remove "splash" and "quiet" from the boot args are the kernel/init messages corrupted as it boots? If not, at what point does it change? [23:26] what would be the irc command to join this channel using x chat http://en.sfml-dev.org/forums/index.php?topic=2997.0 [23:27] mcphail: works until X comes up and i switch to text TTY [23:30] kantlive-: try adding "gfxpayload=text nomodeset" to the boot options [23:30] mcphail: kk one moment. i also just noticed uvesafb is being used.. [23:32] mcphail: "gfxpayload=text" isn't a kernel parameter. If you want to configure grub to handover a text mode to the kernel at boot, use GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=text in /etc/default/grub. [23:33] Jordan_U: i see gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode, can i replace the variable with text? [23:34] Jordan_U: cheers - my memory is rusty [23:34] mcphail: Jordan_U seems i can. booted in text mode and console works [23:34] so now to figure out why.. [23:35] kantlive-: Simply edit /etc/default/grub and add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text then re-run "sudo update-grub". [23:35] Jordan_U: i could.. id like to see if i can figure out the issue tho :) [23:35] kantlive-: Manual edits to /boot/grub/grub.cfg will be overwritten on your next kernel update. [23:35] Jordan_U: i realize this [23:37] kantlive-: i think it's just an old nvidia bug which has affected some combinations of hardware and drivers for years. I've had blank consoles which have been revived by that incantation to kill the fb in the past. My current setup doesn't need it [23:37] Ok, am i really unlucky or does this happen regularly? When i built my kernel with grsec earlier today, the version was 3.14.29, now kernel.org has 3.14.30 but grsec patch doesn't have a 3.14.30 yet [23:37] mcphail: i used to have the blank vt issue which i remember v86d solved. but this is totally different as far as i can tell [23:38] mcphail: interesting. i just removed v86d and rebuilt initramfs & grub and now i have a low res console [23:38] graphical [23:38] kantlive-: i gave up trying to understand that arcana a couple of years ago. Now I just roll with it [23:39] mcphail: tis the wonders of proprietary drivers haha [23:39] Hey, I have problem with usb-creator-gtk [23:39] it doesn't select source iso file [23:40] kantlive-: yes - i've switched to open source radeon drivers now I've found an incantaion to get kernel modeswitching to work [23:40] the first time i ran it, disk was full, and it encountered errors [23:40] this is the error: [23:40] (usb-creator-gtk:6791): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._g_2dfile_2derror_2dquark.Code12: Failed to write file '/home/morteza/.config/dconf/user.IJHETX': write() failed: No space left on device [23:40] (usb-creator-gtk:6791): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/home/morteza/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to write file '/home/morteza/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.H44ZSX': write() failed: No space left on device [23:41] change #ubuntu [23:42] join #ubuntu [23:42] ydl: you're there already [23:42] ydl: do /join or /j [23:43] MortezaE: In the future please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com for output longer than one line. It sounds like the filesystem containing your home directory is full. [23:43] how to remove dconf for an app? [23:43] Jordan_U: ok i do :) [23:43] MortezaE: Please pastebin the output of "df -h" and "df -i". [23:44] Jordan_U: now i emptied the disk, but usb-creator-gtk doesn't work [23:44] in fact, when i select iso file, it doesnt select it === sythe is now known as sythe-afk [23:44] i think i must empty it's dconf. wrong? [23:45] MortezaE: Have you closed and re-opend usb-creator since making more space available? [23:45] yes [23:46] Hey everybody, why the transfer between 2 NTFS HDD goes down while transfer ? Ubuntu 11.04 LTS [23:46] *transferrate [23:46] ydl: 11.04 is not LTS, and no longer supported [23:47] ydl: ntfs support is not the fastest. [23:47] while begin the transfer, got 70MB/sec [23:47] and yes, 11.04 got serious security issues since it get no security updates since long time now [23:47] ydl: cached [23:48] So I installed Ubuntu from a flash drive and now it only boots if I have that flash drive plugged in. Any ideas? [23:48] On a reboot, my hostname -f result is set to (none) [23:48] !bootinfo | woozy [23:48] woozy: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [23:48] ... means that the data goes thru RAM before read on HDD? [23:49] hello everyone, i have a problem with the gpu drivers on an asus n550jk. i can see 2 devices in lspci -> intel haswell mobile and a gtx 850m. system is using the haswell with nouveau according to "about this computer". could anyone explain how to install the appropriate driver and use the gtx850m instead of haswell mobile or point me in the right direction? [23:50] just to clarify, additional drivers give me no alternative drivers to choose, just a blank window. [23:50] k1l: cached means that the transferred data first load in the RAM before read at final HDD? [23:52] So im having some bonding trouble guys, im following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding but it seems like one of my nics isnt working correctly [23:52] It says the nic is online yet it cant ping google [23:52] and the network settings are correct [23:53] I guess i should elaborate, its a 3 nic bond and the two other nics work correctly but the built in motherboard adapter seems to just be a dud [23:54] could it be a driver issue? [23:54] The boot info script doesn't worm [23:54] Work [23:55] woozy: "Doesn't work" is almost never a useful description of a problem. What command did you run to try to run boot info script? Please pastebin its complete ouptut. [23:56] Sorry. I followed the instructions on the website in terminal and it says command is not found [23:58] woozy, Saying "command is not found" is no more useful when you don't say what command that might be.
