[00:36] or is it partitioned? [00:36] Yeah on its own [00:36] then i wonder if you just need to re-arrange your boot priority in your BIOS [00:36] Selected the option to make it remove windows and just be inatalled seperately [00:36] oh you removed windows completely [00:37] Well i have it on dvd then HDD [00:37] well that sounds unusual [00:38] Maybe something new i can try ?

Please stick to Ubuntu support questions and answers. [01:13] Jordan_U: i guess this is it http://pastebin.com/E52eVmpp [01:16] dctrdonpc: That's incredably useful. You have two hard drives, one containing an Ubuntu installation, and the other containing Windows. Changing the boot order in your BIOS should make Ubuntu boot by default (with a grub menu allowing you to choose to boot Windows if you want). === Nadi3d is now known as Karl_hans_es [01:17] hows that? because i have one ssd where i have the OS and another 2Tb drive where i put my files [01:17] so hows each OS on a differenct drive ? [01:17] because when i installed windows i put it on the 64 one, did same while installing ubuntu too [01:17] didnt touch the 2tb one [01:19] dctrdonpc: The 64 GB drive contains only Ubuntu. The 2TB drive contains only Windows. === teward is now known as teward_ [01:19] how the hell did that happen [01:19] it was on the 64 one, what did it move or something ? [01:20] dctrdonpc: It's possible that Windows put its System Partition on the 2TB drive. Normally the System Partition is quite small, because it normally contains only Windows' bootloader, but you could have made it large and stored your files there as well. [01:21] dctrdonpc: So it's likely that while sdb1 contains Windows' bootloader, there isn't actually a full Windows installation that that booloader can load. [01:21] so what do i do ? [01:22] because in the bootloader the first drive its set too boot from is the 64 gb drive [01:22] i think === teward_ is now known as teward [01:22] because ive never modified it [01:22] actually ive just switched it around with the dvd drive [01:23] dctrdonpc: You've never modified it, but you've been keeping Windows' bootloader on the 2 TB drive. [01:23] dctrdonpc: So your BIOS was loading Windows' bootloader from the 2 TB drive (as it still is now), and then Windows' bootloader was loading the rest of your Windows install from the SSD. [01:24] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [01:24] so i just gotta switch the drives around in bios ? [01:25] then delete the windows bootloader off the 2tb drive ? [01:25] well second step isnt necessary but better than it taking space [01:26] dctrdonpc: Correct (though Windows' bootloader is taking up very little space). [01:28] Hi All [01:29] Anyone available for a question... [01:29] dctrdonpc: the link i provided earlier on should help you fix it [01:29] the boot repairer ? [01:29] even in that photo you shared in here, it says "Windows 7 (loader)" which means the bootloader is on your 2TB drive [01:29] yeah [01:29] I'm trying to figure out a good software for ubuntu that is like vmware. [01:30] but before you do that you can double-check your boot priority to make sure your SSD is on the top [01:30] Sunson: there is virtualbox, which is free [01:31] ok [01:32] Sunson: +1 for virtualbox [01:34] plasmasnake: ok i'll try that...i searched virtual machine and got nothing...in the app store [01:34] excuse...software center [01:35] ;DT;L [01:35] كيفكممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممممم [01:35] daftykins: ok...good to hear it's liked === swordsmanz is now known as hugbot [01:35] Sunson: you'll find it there if you search virtualbox === frossmant is now known as Styrbjorn [01:40] https://plus.google.com/110171838329788466253/posts [01:40] belal: do you have a support question?

[02:46] daftykins: Yeah ! That teach me to IRC over my ice cream ! [02:46] dctrdonpc: As Bashing-om noticed, you probably have hybrid graphics.

[02:48] guys it's not optimus :) [02:48] the clue is GTX 770 as the name of the discrete, a mobile chip with have 'm' in the name, e.g. GT 520M [02:48] s/with/would/ [02:49] Jordan_U: daftykins :: OK, Just cheking up on my short commings. Had not thought of 'desktop' . [02:49] dctrdonpc: Hybrid graphics is when you have two graphics cards that can be in use at the same time, to balance performance (using the beefier card) and power usage (using the integrated one). But if I understand daftykins correctly (who knows more about this than I do), that's not what you have :) [02:50] anytime guys ^5 [02:50] yeah just have 1 [02:50] 770 === sayurelekronik is now known as donkuritsujunbic [02:52] dctrdonpc: you probably got offered a couple of versions, maybe version 331 is what you chose?

[02:54] of not os [02:54] Scunizi: If needed, you can upgrade from the terminal with do-release-upgrade (if purging the ppa causes you to lose X). [02:55] daftykins: will purging the nvidia driver put me back to the basic driver automatically? [02:56] ok so i installed it [02:56] cant really notice a difference [02:57] Jordan_U: thanks.. that's helpful. How do I revert to the "normal" stock video driver ie non-nvidia [02:57] Scunizi: I would expect that ppa-purge combined with renaming your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one at all) would do the trick, but I haven't used that particular ppa in years. [02:58] dctrdonpc: Did you reboot? [02:58] Jordan_U: ok.. here I go :) [02:58] no [02:58] lol [02:58] brb [02:58] Im thinking about buying a Bonobo Extreme from System76.

[03:03] ubuntu431: "AMD64" refers to all 64 bit x86-64 CPUs, including Intel's, if that's what you're wondering about. [03:03] ubuntu431, there are 64 bit builds of lubuntu [03:03] ubuntu431: The 64 bit image is compatible with both AMD and Intel . [03:03] some newer instructions from the processor requires the newer linux distribution [03:04] There are a hundred different guides with a hundred different ways of getting ubuntu to resolve local hostnames correctly with windows computers. People suggest installing winbind, and other people say don't, but don't say why or what to do instead. I did install winbind and now I can ping the linux box's host from windows, but not the windows box's host from linux. Is there a correct way to do this? [03:04] ubuntu431: If a test drive dvd is available, you can always boot into it to be certain.

[03:36] !flavours | boot_killer (everything else is not supported here) [03:36] boot_killer (everything else is not supported here): !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. [03:37] oh ok [03:37] thanks somsip [03:37] il move on [03:37] !kali | boot_killer (not sure if this works) [03:37] boot_killer (not sure if this works): Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [03:37] I use mint [03:37] Is there an AMD support channel anywhere? [03:37] nicomachus, here, provisionally [03:38] ! Ask | nicomachus [03:38] nicomachus: 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 [03:38] that was a question xange [03:38] *xangua [03:38] xangua: I did ask my question... a couple times. No one answered, so I asked if there was a better place to ask it. [03:38] nicomachus: ask a question that relates to ubuntu and AMD. If you just want AMD support, type !alis and search [03:39] are there any good easyvmx alternatives? the original seems down [03:39] I'm trying to figure out how to adjust scaling in 14.04 with my AMD GPU. [03:39] That's the question I asked originally. [03:39] nicomachus, even if someone doesn't use it, they might know about it [03:39] nicomachus, have you installed amdcccle? [03:40] I installed fglrx-amdcccle [03:40] same? [03:40] WHAT_UP: is this anything to do with Ubuntu support? If not, it's offtopic. Try this but dont ask more here please http://alternativeto.net/software/easyvmx/ [03:40] nicomachus, can you run the amdcccle gui? [03:41] what's the command to run it? [03:41] nothing I have tried has worked so far. [03:41] nicomachus, amdcccle [03:41] Well I'm trying to install ubuntu on a virtual machine inside ubuntu, so kind of. That site is trash. [03:41] Seven_Six_Two: Command not found. [03:42] nicomachus: type fglrx [03:42] nicomachus, sorry, I'm not using ubuntu right now. What EriC^ said [03:42] press tab? that didn't do anything. [03:42] WHAT_UP: we can't do anything about websites being trash. What is the problem with ubuntu you're having? [03:42] nicomachus: did you press it a couple times? [03:43] repeatedly, yes EriC^ [03:43] nicomachus, are you in a full screen terminal? gui? [03:43] windowed terminal. [03:43] nicomachus: open the dash and type amd [03:44] Eric^: the only applications that come up are "Passwords and Keys" and "Character Map: [03:44] " not : [03:44] nicomachus: type apt-cache policy fglrx-amdcccle [03:44] does it say it's installed? [03:45] Yes. [03:45] my problem is that unity and #ubuntu blow [03:45] nicomachus: ok, type dpkg -L fglrx-amdcccle | grep /bin [03:45] someone just kick WHAT_UP already. [03:46] EriC^: 4 results, need them all? [03:46] anything that stands out? [03:46] Hello, I have a ubuntu box which connects to the internet using PPP. The network card is 1000Mbps. However the PPP connection is really slow, the link shows 10Mbps and the max speed is 4Mbps while the real connection is 100MBps. When I use a computer with another OS to connect to the modem, I get the full 100Mbps and everything is really fast. Is there any configuration that needs to be set for high speed ppp? [03:46] nicomachus: just remembered, open the dash and type catalyst [03:46] ha, already tried that. [03:46] nicomachus: odd i remember it used to show in the dash somehow [03:47] nicomachus: what are the bin's you got earlier? [03:47] I feel like I'm missing something really stupid. [03:47] EriC^, what was the output? the 4 commands? [03:47] TimothyP: are you talking about PPPoE authentication with a cable modem? [03:47] bins were: /bin, /bin/amdupdaterandrconfig, /bin/amdcccle, and /bin/amdxdg-su [03:47] nicomachus, EriC^'s message was for you [03:47] daftykins, yes ! [03:48] TimothyP: Is there a reason you're not using a router, and having the router handle PPPoE? [03:48] nicomachus: amdcccle should work then [03:48] nicomachus, ok, in that terminal, type /bin/amdcccle [03:48] wel the linux box is the router [03:48] :) [03:48] that's the idea [03:48] so everything works, all computers in the network are connected it is just painfully slow [03:48] GAHHHHHHHH. No such file or directory. WTF. [03:48] nicomachus: type sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx-amdcccle [03:49] [03:49] good idea. [03:49] when connecting a router (as in a real router it works fast, but we can't trust the routers we buy here) [03:49] TimothyP, do you get the same results switching only the computer, or do the other computers have their own network cables? [03:49] sorry I was trying to simplify the situation [03:49] [DSL MODEM] -> [UBUNTU] -> [SWITCh] -> [COMPUTERS] [03:50] now if we put a computer where the ubuntu would be in this setup [03:50] then the connection for that computer is extremely fast [03:50] so then I checked [03:50] TimothyP, are you using all cat6? [03:50] ethtool p5p1 says 10Mbps [03:50] yep [03:50] TimothyP: How are you configuring the PPPoE? [03:50] while eth0 (to which the dsl is connected) is 1000Mbps [03:50] TimothyP: so what is said router running? desktop? [03:51] EriC^: reinstall finished. still says no such file or directory when I try navigating to /bin/amdcccle [03:51] I wonder if this HDD is corrupting some bits... [03:51] nicomachus, navigate to? are you doing cd /bin/amdcccle [03:51] the router is ubuntu server [03:51] the desktop we connect instead of the router to test is windows [03:52] I have a configuration file in /etc/ppp/peers [03:52] Seven_Six_Two: poor word choice. [03:52] TimothyP: Please pastebin this file. [03:52] not navigating. I wasn't using cd. that doesn't work either, though. [03:52] ok [03:52] hang on [03:52] nicomachus, ok. do you get anything from ls -l | grep ccc [03:53] no response whatsoever. [03:53] (need to find a pastebin that isn't blocked ) [03:54] TimothyP: http://sprunge.us/ ? [03:54] TimothyP: where are you in the world? what do they do to routers? [03:54] TimothyP: Are you in Guangdong or using a proxy? [03:55] daftykins: China, looks like. [03:55] I'm in shenzhen but I can't turn on the VPN now as I'm working on the network [03:55] daftykins they backdoor the routers [03:55] :p [03:55] nicomachus, can you pastebin output.txt from this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install fglrx-amdcccle | tee -a output.txt [03:57] nicomachus: yeah i got told off for assuming once ;D [03:57] ok on pastebin now, connected a vm to the vpn [03:57] http://pastebin.com/MUTt8A9s [03:57] this is the interfaces file [03:57] going to post the other one as well [03:58] http://pastebin.com/6sYH5nN1 this is the peers file (with fake login) [03:59] !enter | TimothyP [03:59] come on ubottu [03:59] ? [03:59] NegativeFlare: it's been deleted [03:59] somsip: oh.. well alright [04:00] !ping [04:00] pong! [04:00] it lives [04:00] !flim [04:00] this is so weird, ethtool p5p1 somtimes reports 10Mbps, sometimes it reports 100Mbps seems to be jumping [04:01] Seven_Six_Two: pastebin in just a sec. [04:01] pastebin.com/aY6Li6V6 [04:01] http://pastebin.com/RZrNKuKR ethtool output [04:02] nicomachus, what's the output of lspci -v [04:03] TimothyP: Anything interesting looking in dmesg? [04:04] let me check [04:04] Seven_Six_Two just the GPU part or the whole thing...? [04:04] nicomachus, whole thing [04:06] pastebin.com/aQZmx59A [04:09] ethtool p5p1 the speed it reports, it's lower than that of the physical interface, doesn't that mean it's reporting the speed it negotiated with the DSL modem? [04:10] ok good. for a second there I was confused about what card you actually have. can you give me pastebin from sudo dpkg-query -L fglrx-amdcccle [04:12] shoulda just gotten on hexchat on the PC I'm actually working on, damn... lol [04:12] pastebin.com/jwhJfD7F [04:13] Would this help when the connection starts: mii-tool p5p1 -F 100baseTx-FD [04:15] hi [04:15] I tried to install openssh-server but couldn't [04:15] Seven_Six_Two: what are you looking for in those? [04:15] I'm on ubuntu 14.04 [04:16] any idea how to fix this? "Could not load list of meta packages: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" [04:16] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:16] happens right when i SSH in [04:16] following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:16] openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu1) [04:16] Recommends: ssh-import-id but it is not going to be installed [04:16] no tricks work :( [04:18] muffman: have a read of this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1367373/python-subprocess-popen-oserror-errno-12-cannot-allocate-memory [04:18] super interesting. your alternatives were not set. looking for what's installed, where stuff is, and why it's not running. I got it, but I don't have a fix. there's a subsystem that manages symbolic links, so that you can have different programs that do the same thing. you can call amdcccle from where it is, but the update-alternatives for it should be set, I'm just struggling to remember how to do it. for now, try sud [04:18] o /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdcccle [04:19] muffman: it suggest something is running on login, and that thing has a memory problem [04:19] snow_ru, what output do you get from sudo apt-get install ssh-import-id [04:20] somsip: i have no idea what most of that even means [04:20] nicomachus, if you do ls -l /usr/bin notice the entries with something -> /etc/alternatives/something [04:20] i think i figured it out :) [04:20] thanks [04:21] muffman: you say when you log in that you get an error message. So when you log in, a python script is running and is throwing that error. Find out what is running and fix it. [04:21] somsip: except i didn't get a Python subprocess error, i got "Could not load list of meta packages: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" [04:22] nicomachus, those are symbolic links, and those files don't exist in /usr/bin. They are links to other links in /etc/alternatives, which is managed by update-alternatives command, and will then update /etc/alternatives/something to the actual binary [04:22] please ping me if you know about chroot [04:22] muffman: well, [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory is a Python error message [04:22] !pm | ame [04:22] ame: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [04:23] Seven_Six_Two: when I ran sudo /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdcccle I got an "initialization error". Says: [04:23] oh ok somsip , thanks [04:23] muffman: are you on a VPS? http://www.vps.me/forum/os-templates/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-distro [04:24] I am using LTSP here and want to know why any of my clients cannot detect any device other than pendrive?? [04:24] "There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following: No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the AMD driver appropriate for you (sic, lol) AMD hardware, or configure using aticonfig [04:24] i am somsip and am upgraded to 14.1 as we speak :_) [04:25] muffman: so it's possibly a VPS support issue... [04:25] please don't tell me I just had the wrong driver installed this whole time. [04:25] oh ok thanks somsip [04:25] nicomachus, open software centre, in one of the menus is section for driver install. I'm not using ubuntu, so I don't remember where it is. [04:26] do you want to see which ones I have currently or find new ones? [04:27] list what's available, and what's enabled [04:28] Ok. that's not in software center anymore, they moved it to System Settings under Software & Updates, and there's an Additional Drivers tab. Those? [04:28] yes [04:30] Ok. I don't feel like typing it all, so here's a screenshot: [04:30] imgur.com/Ar5sdW4 [04:30] no, sorry. [04:30] This link, Seven_Six_Two: imgur.com/ArSsdW4 [04:32] hi [04:34] So.. I'm having a really weird problem [04:35] oh, Pillory, aren't we all.... [04:36] nicomachus, that's odd. The only other things I can think of are that the version of the driver and the cccle version don't match. can you paste reinstall.txt: sudo apt-get purge fglrx-amdcccle && sudo apt-get install fglrx-amdcccle | tee -a reinstall.txt [04:36] Haha [04:37] Well, I'm trying to help a friend use a live CD to copy some files from her old broken Windows computer to her Windows laptop, but when I try to install Samba, we get "installArchives() failed: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: read error in `/var/lib/dpkg/diversions': Input/output errorError in function:" [04:37] nicomachus, and the output to lsmod [04:38] Pillory: no external hard disks that can just be thrown in via USB to do the copy? getting samba going from live is a bit awkward :) [04:38] Pillory, can you pastebin output.txt from this please: mount && df [04:40] Unfortunately, she's not local, so I can't use any of my wealth of USB sticks, and she doesn't have any. One sec, Seven [04:40] the data is really that small that a flash drive could carry it? 0o [04:41] No, it's 178gb [04:41] Seven_Six_Two: the reinstall: pastebin.com/UzzvSPU7 [04:42] and lsmod: pastebin.com/swn09baf [04:42] Pillory: do all package install attempts within the live session fail? [04:42] Yes [04:43] what version is the live session of? [04:44] 14.10 [04:44] nicomachus, sudo dpkg-query -L fglrx-amdcccle && ls -l /usr/bin | grep ccc [04:46] Pillory: DVD or flash drive - that it's running from? [04:46] DVD, we have no flash drives to work with [04:46] oy vey [04:46] was the burn verified? [04:46] It was [04:47] hmm could be a wonky drive, quick "dmesg | tail" to see if it's screaming about sr0 could be worth a glance [04:47] Pillory, any luck with mount and df output? I suspect a read only, or out of space fs. you're installing to ram with a live dvd, so you need enough. [04:49] Sorry, she's taking a moment to try "something else" (ominous..), but given the age of the computer, I suspect you're probably right and the ram isn't big enough. Completely slipped my mind; I usually use live USBs, this is the first time I've had to resort to a DVD in some four years [04:49] Seven_Six_Two: pastebin.com/EEQCwCUJ [04:50] yeah i just couldn't handle trying optical media now [04:50] as it is i'm screaming as i wait for programs to open over an RDP session right now XD [04:50] Alright thanks for the hand, just gonna have to get her to buy a USB I guess! [04:50] If I use the command, ksh, does it call the profile.ksh? [04:51] Pillory: said person comfortable popping the drive out of this thing if it's a laptop? why not just suggest a USB to PATA/SATA caddy? :D [04:51] If I use the command, ksh -l, does it call the profile.ksh? What does -l do? [04:51] PSGroup97: is your hobby messing with other shells? [04:51] The reason this computer is broken is because she popped something out, I don't think I could get her to open a case again in her life :P [04:52] lmao [04:52] oh dear. [04:53] She popped the GFX because the fan was whirring, had it repaired, put it back in, and now Windows throws a blue screen every boot, so she's scrapping Windows for Ubuntu nd needs to get her files off before she wipes the drive [04:53] It's a complicated scenario, but not you guys' problem haha [04:53] Thanks though, later :) [04:53] nicomachus, one last try before switching drivers,.. sudo aticonfig [04:53] the OS will not save that ;_; [04:55] are you sure that still works, Seven_Six_Two? AMD doesn't use ATI anymore [04:56] plus you shouldn't need to mess with xorg.conf generation [04:56] Or, at least, they don't call the driver the ATI Catalyst anymore. It's just AMD Catalyst now. [04:56] driver reinstall it is...not sure what else to do. I know the issue, but don't know the fix [04:56] so go back to the open source driver? [04:57] It's a problem with the alternatives not being set, probably due to something being left out of the driver. you could try to install the one that is "proposed" and then reboot [04:57] nicomachus, and if not that, then yes the opensource one === h is now known as Guest42174 [04:58] how do you change mouse wheel functionality [04:58] right now when i click the middle wheel it closes my current tab and then duplicates another open one instead [04:58] and the wheel isn't scrolling [04:59] yo guys [05:00] divBy0: System Settings --> Mouse & Touchpad [05:01] Seven_Six_Two: what are the chances that there's a reason the other proprietary option is called fglrx-UPDATES [05:02] nicomachus: there's nothing in there about mouse wheel or middle click [05:03] ah, I thought it would be. It didn't show on mine because I just have a touchpad, but I thought yours might show more options. [05:03] nico definitely possible. given the number of cards, and different setups, it's possible === Consuela_ is now known as Consuela [05:03] knew I should have gotten the nvidia at micro center today... [05:04] the wheel works for zooming in and out but not scrolling [05:04] or in terminal [05:04] nicomachus Seven_Six_Two - what's this situation? fglrx not kicking in at boot? [05:05] daftykins: I don't even know anymore. [05:05] nicomachus: pay the man for hardware.. But el-cheapo software [05:05] daftykins, can't run amdcccle to modify video settings [05:05] is the driver in use correctly? [05:05] I just want the 2mm of screen that my TV is stealing from me... [05:05] daftykins, it looks right in lsmod, driver installer says it's in use. [05:05] so set the TV to 1:1 - it's probably overscan [05:06] Seven_Six_Two: confirmed via Xorg.0.log ? [05:06] daftykins, no [05:06] daftykins: TV is not the issue. [05:06] then why did you mention a potential overscan issue? :) [05:06] Hello. I upgraded 14.04 to 14.10 using "sudo do-release-upgrade". Everything seems to have worked ... except that I have the 3.13 kernel still. apt-get dist-upgrade wont get the new kernel. [05:07] how can you get info on a package through terminal before installig it [05:07] divBy0: apt-cache showpkg [05:07] or apt-cache policy [05:07] daftykins, nicomachus I need to step away for a few minutes [05:07] daftykins: thanks [05:07] no problem, Seven_Six_Two, you've been a huge help and I need a cigareete. [05:07] cigarette* [05:08] thank you. [05:08] i've just done apt-get install linux-generic. hope that doesnt break it [05:08] no problem. if nothing else, hopefully you learned something. [05:09] I'm always learning something when it comes to this. That's why I asked what you were looking for, etc. [05:10] ~6-7 months ago, I thought ubuntu was just a funny sounding word, linux was something weird to do with penguins, and didn't know the difference between a CPU and GPU. [05:11] I've been using for 10 years now. Maybe in 10 more, you'll be where I am, and I'll be using a mac. ;P [05:14] Seven_Six_Two: you make it sound like a drug ;) [05:15] hello, I got remastersys installed on an old P3 866Mhz, 512mb ram and a 20gb drive. the OS is ubuntu 14.10 (LXLE Lubuntu) it works fine. [05:17] that seems to be more of a statement than a support question? [05:20] oh wtf. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [05:20] hello [05:20] and a lot of other errors. [05:21] Yes, it works I do not need any support. ty [05:21] lol dingus1 === ggggggg is now known as pablotron- [05:25] guys... imgur.com/CDNimzK [05:26] got that on boot ^ [05:26] ooh harddrive problem? is it making noise? [05:26] on startup. [05:27] I'd be more than happy to replace it. it's only 75gb [05:27] Western Digital. [05:27] oh sorry. that was after the new driver install [05:27] ? [05:28] yes, but it's done that before. even before replacing the GPU today. I usually just restart it and it works fine. [05:28] what did you have before? [05:28] GeForce 8400 gs [05:29] i bought this PC at a thrift store for $20 [05:29] lol. did you do a reinstall, or just swap the card? [05:29] just swapped the card. [05:30] While it's not absolutely necessary (anyone who knows better, speak up now), you might have better (and faster) success installing again with the new card. I hadn't thought about what else might be interfering. [05:31] meh, doesn't bother me any. there's nothing on this PC to worry about. [05:33] The DVD burner on my laptop is just kinda shitty, I get errors probably 1 out of 3 times. [05:33] And this BIOS doesn't boot from USB for some stupid reason. [05:34] If I use the command, ksh -l, does it call the file profile.ksh? What does -l do? [05:37] PSGroup37: the command ksh will bring up a shell called KornShell [05:38] i don't know if that guy is a bot or what, i replied to that query earlier and clearly got ignored [05:38] very odd running all sorts of scripts under different shells if you ask me 0o [05:39] nicholasalipaz: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html for old computers that don't include usb booting. burn a plop cd and boot from it to then be able to boot usb sticks [05:42] I am not a bot. I am here to learn. Thank you for any advice. [05:42] I was disconnected. [05:43] hello [05:43] what to do with this [05:43] http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL [05:43] http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL [05:44] I was disconnected and I was unable to see any replies. I am very sorry and would you please re-post your comments again. Thanks! [05:46] nicomachus: does the command, ksh, also execute what is in the profile.ksh? [05:47] I don't believe so.. [05:48] looking for a 3d visualization library for only productive stuff or analysis etc. Any suggestions ? what do people use in academy [05:49] matlab ? [05:49] hey [05:49] hi [05:50] Anybody want to help me with a grub problem? [05:50] well I'm gonna go to bed, and try a fresh install tomorrow night after work. Thank you Seven_Six_Two and daftykins and anyone else that helped me. Have some Foxy Shazam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rz4I69mQMo [05:50] I think grub is just fine [05:50] It detects all of my partitions as unknown filesystems. [05:50] cant see why everyones dramatizing it [05:50] nicomachus: good luck! and cya [05:50] In a dual boot with windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04 [05:50] clearly your systems are unknown [05:51] Do you know why that would be, or how to fix it? [05:51] what system are you using [05:51] please help with this. [05:51] http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL [05:51] hopefully ubuntu since we're in an ubuntu support channel [05:51] nicomachus: how does profile.ksh get called? [05:51] as in the build?

[10:35] amcsi_work: not really, you just have to learn [10:36] amsci_work they're all pretty much the same as far as I know, I didn't really find them a challenge. I get irritated when I'm using the windows terminal. I'm all like why doesn't this command do anything... oh, wait.... [10:36] amcsi_work: [10:36] Ben64, like there are many GUI tools that help a lot for linux, but simpler commands wouldn't be that much to ask for [10:36] i suppose it will be automatically mounted. [10:37] let's not compare anything with the windows terminal [10:37] amcsi_work: they are pretty simple already, you just don't know them yet [10:37] My clock doesn't show up in my menu bar [10:37] is there a sofware in ubuntu for drawing logo? [10:37] Ben64, I have to specify the type of ISO and stuff like that. I don't want to have to know what kind of ISO I am mounting [10:37] hellyeah, try gimp? [10:38] windows rterminal was good when ms-dos was there [10:38] gimp is enough do you think hmm [10:38] hellyeah, I never really used it much, but I've had friends do some pretty awesome stuff with it. [10:38] amcsi_work: yes, the mount command needs to know the filesystem. you should know the filesystem of an "iso" (protip: if it is really an ISO, it'd be ISO9660) [10:39] So, can anyone help me on this clock thing? [10:39] Hello, i installed google earth pro (with a bin file) just to find out it wasnt supported by linux, how can i unistall it? [10:40] kokut, try apt-get remove? [10:40] didnt work [10:40] kokut, how did you get it on there in the first place? [10:40] its not even there [10:40] hateball: info_update :) it seems it stopped.. difference was that i didn't installed proprietary drivers and did workarounds on nouveau [10:40] i downloaded the Bin from google and installed it [10:41] kokut: then ask google, or see if theres any documentation for it [10:41] but man its not supported by linux [10:41] kokut, maybe it just runs from the bin? [10:41] nope [10:41] Ben64, ok, but I want to be able to run only one command for any image type [10:41] kokut: ok? its not supported here either [10:42] it copied a bunch of files and added a desktop shortcut [10:42] amcsi_work: find out the filesystem, not hard dude [10:42] Hey folks.. Is it possible to force apt-get to install a package from its sources, even when the currently installed version is newer (from a manual dpkg -i install)? [10:42] kokut, do you know where it sent the files to? [10:42] nope it was a couple of days ago [10:42] i could run the isntaller again tho [10:43] kokut, maybe the installer has an uninstall option? [10:43] its a bin [10:43] kokut, I'm just guessing. It's way past my bedtime, I'm only here to see if someone can give me pointers on my clock problem. [10:44] yep definitely i have hundreds of files in several different locations through my ubuntu installation that contain "google-earth" in the file name :\ [10:44] kokut: this channel can't support 3rd party software. ask google, look for documentation, we have no way of knowing what google's bin file did to your system [10:44] no ben [10:44] not true [10:45] thanks for your help anyways [10:45] very true. its the reason why we only support official ubuntu packages here [10:46] Anybody got any ideas on this clock thing? === ubuntu is now known as Guest90058 [10:48] anyone here use apt-cacher-ng [10:50] I don't know what the deal is, I swear the clock was there yesterday, I turn it on today and noticed a while ago I had no clock. I clicked on the battery icon, clicked on "Show time in menu bar". That didn't work, went to system settings, clicked on time and date, and everything in the clock tab is grayed out. Not really sure what to do here.... [10:52] hi all [10:52] can I ask some issue [10:52] go for it [10:53] arr [10:53] Que? [10:53] no que [10:53] ryanmm, are you a pirate? [10:53] nope [10:53] ryanmm, then I don't understand.... [10:54] I m just start using xubuntu [10:54] ryanmm, ok. [10:54] this is my first time IRC join [10:54] ryanmm, yeah. [10:54] hello [10:54] so do I need que? [10:55] ryanmm, I don't understand what you're asking. What is it you need help with?

[11:01] no [11:01] eldonkr, no. not autohide [11:01] Why do I have to reboot ubuntu after a couple of days in order to be able to browse again..even though there seems to be internet connection :\ [11:02] eldonkr, I aldy unchecked autohide [11:02] benbro, check the software center [11:03] ryanmm, have you tried changing your screen resolution? your desktop could be bigger than what your display can render. [11:03] eldonkr, xrender? [11:03] ryanmm, does the same thing happen vertically if you move your pointer all the way to the left or right, or does it only happen horizontally? [11:04] eldonkr, just vertically. not horizontally [11:05] ryanmm, try kicking your resolution down a notch and see if that helps. [11:05] can anyone help ? [11:06] wadie, I can try [11:06] after keeping my pc up for a couple of days,I can no longer surf the web unless I reboot [11:06] there is connectivity though since I'm able to talk to you now :) [11:06] wadie, I'm about to go to sleep though. I'm thinking that's what happened to all the more knowledgable people since i've been asking the same question for a half hour now with no answers. [11:06] eldonkr, OK, thank. I'll google it. [11:07] ryanmm, try playing with your display properties under system settings. [11:07] is unity closed source/ [11:08] wadie, was your system idle for the last couple of days or were you actively using the machine and then all of a sudden the internet juice dried up? [11:08] unity and firefox are very much proprietary [11:08] it was idle [11:08] :P [11:09] wadie, your connection to your router probably timed out or something, are there a lot of people who use the network? [11:09] maybe a couple but not at night [11:09] what can I do about that other than rebooting the pc ? [11:09] a command probably.. [11:10] wadie, how many devices are connected to your router wirelessly on a regular basis? e.g laptops, game consoles, phones, printers, smart TVs, tablets, etc... [11:10] eb Is true that Bill Gates is gay ? [11:10] on a regular basis probably two phones and even those not always [11:11] !shenannigans | in-runner [11:11] eldonkr, I found the issue. My actual screensize is 1280x800 but display resolution is 1280x768 [11:11] !spam | In-Runner [11:11] In-Runner: Please don't spam [11:11] ryanmm, I figured that was the issue. Glad I could help. [11:12] eldonkr, Thank mate [11:13] wadie, well, you could try disconnecting from your router and reconnecting using the network icon in your menu-bar if it happens again [11:14] wadie, there was a period of a couple of years where I wasn't using ubuntu because I either didn't have a computer or the ones I was using were not mine, so I'm not as brushed up on terminal commands as I used to be, but I'm pretty sure there's a command that would also help, but usually disconnecting and then reconnecting usually helps. [11:15] wadie, if it is a recurring issue, then I suggest setting the network IPs for all of your devices manually, which is something that I can't remember offhand how to do, but it could be in the network options under your System Settings. [11:16] So, is there anybody at all who can help with my clock problem? [11:17] Thank you eldonkr === Ridley5 is now known as zzz_Ridley [11:18] wadie, you're welcome, glad I could help. There's usually more people on who can field these questions so I usually don't end up having to help, so this is a first for me. [11:19] Wadie, at one time, on my home network I had a server, a desktop, two laptops, a smart phone, a printer, a NAS, and two xbox 360's connected to the network, I had to set all of those IPs manually to prevent shennanigans. [11:20] If anyone else has a question they should ask it, none of the normal helpful people seem to be on at the moment and I'm about to go to bed myself.

[11:22] oh wait it booted lol [11:22] eldonkr, I can't find out displays.xml in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ [11:22] ryanmm, what? [11:23] why does network work on livecd and not on the installed version? [11:23] so should I create new one? [11:23] ryanmm, what is it supposed to be for? [11:23] eldonkr, I google to change resolution [11:23] ryanmm, you should just be able to do that using....... hang on a sec [11:24] ryanmm, go to System Settings > Displays, you can change the resolution there. [11:25] linuxthefish, I really don't know. I mean, I get why, I just don't know how to explain it. [11:25] no [11:25] ryanmm, what version are you using? [11:25] eldonkr, no I can't. There is no 1280x800 resolution in list [11:25] xubuntu 14.04 [11:26] ryanmm, choose the closest one. [11:26] urgh ubuntu 14.10 is so buggy [11:26] should not be released [11:26] eldonkr, I in using 1280x768 [11:27] linuxthefish, whats the issue? [11:27] eldonkr, that's why screen is moving up [11:27] ryanmm, try going one lower than that.

[11:30] linuxthefish, there's a thing for drivers under system settings somewhere, that should tell you which one/s you might need.

[15:20] snizzo: i installed them manually [15:21] ah ok [15:21] precisely for that reason [15:21] :) [15:21] what you would suggest? purge from repos and install by .run? [15:21] it's never a good idea to blindly update nvidia drivers [15:21] Pici, thanks! [15:21] was talking about the troll earlier [15:21] gentunian, [15:21] oh, ok. [15:22] :) [15:22] i'm not sure what to suggest [15:22] ah ok [15:22] were you using xorg-edgers? [15:22] ppf: yeah [15:22] on 14.10 [15:23] i usually install the drivers manually, because updates are very often broken [15:23] but that has it's own drawbacks [15:23] for instance, sometimes registering with dkms doesn't work properly, so a kernel update leaves you blind [15:23] aah [15:24] that, however, has worked for me on 343 so far [15:24] there isn't a way of using old xorg edgers packages?

[15:53] what has thaht got to do with me suggesting upgrading to a PI-2 [15:56] ikonia, I have a PI 2 [15:57] ikonia, but I didn't find an image for it [15:57] the community ARM version [15:57] !!arm | jon1012 [15:57] jon1012: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices.

[15:59] I am stuck in a bit of indicision, i've a 4x4tb disks in a microserver, my home setup, and i'm thinking of btrfs for the sake of learning it and some of the real flexibility it'll offer in future. [15:59] NET||abuse, zfs is a good choice [15:59] but is it possible to use a reasonably space optimised layout without using the "experimental" raid5 features of btrfs? [16:01] compdoc: has that not it's own issues, its not really feature complete(the linux version), can't be run in kernel space due to licencing issues [16:01] btrfs is part of the kernel so i feel a little better about that.

[16:03] sheer: Well, Chrome uses SQLite databases extensively to store is stuff, you should be able to find the cookies under ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies [16:03] sheer: (which is an SQLite database, you can use the "sqlite3" command to mess with it) [16:04] theadmin, i have no clue how to use linux yet. how do i direct my way there, please, good sir? [16:04] sheer: Eh. Open the file manager, hit Ctrl-L, paste in the ~/.config/google-chrome/Default bit === ninedragon is now known as ROAR [16:04] sheer: (essentially the same as on Windows, heh) [16:05] The "Cookies" is a file though. It's a database, so you should only really be trying to modify it if you know SQL [16:05] But if you just want to delete it, you can -- though I would suggest to do it from within Chrome instead [16:05] i only want to view, not modify it [16:06] so now i need to know how to get a viewer installed [16:06] theadmin, would you? xx [16:07] why when i try to run imwheel -c i get Configuration terminated by signal 11 [16:08] sheer: Hmm... Okay run this command: sqlite3 -header -html ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies "SELECT * FROM cookies" > out.html [16:08] sheer: Then open the "out.html" file in a browser === __Trullo is now known as _Trullo [16:08] this is in the file browser, not terminal, right [16:09] sheer: No that's a terminal command alright [16:09] how do I install sqlite3? [16:09] i hate asking these dumb questions but i'm totally new to linux [16:09] wait [16:09] it told me === ROAR is now known as ninedragon [16:10] where should the out.html be located?

(/var/log/ requires sudo) [16:20] im new to the linux and ubuntu file systems -- what are important folders to backup besides /home [16:20] Does anyone know if the "..failed to start user@1000.service" message during boot is cause for concern, or if there's a fix. I see bug reports between devs on google, but no resolution. [16:20] moondoggy: if log file needs to be temporary: /tmp/ [16:23] eraggo: Thanks. I need to keep it long-term for troubleshooting, but I can't run this process as root. [16:23] divBy0: Backing up anything else is error-prone to be honest. Just back up /home. [16:23] anyone following the ubuntu phone community event? [16:23] neat [16:23] and if there are apps i dont want to backup like .vmware is it safe to just leave them out [16:24] eraggo: could it go somewhere beneath /share or /usr/share/ ? [16:24] divByz0: Well yes but it's important to understand that those folders ain't apps, they are just config files and are probably tiny [16:24] moondoggy: nope; needs root/sudo access too [16:24] divByz0: Apps themselves are scattered all over the filesystem, Linux has no "Program Files" like Windows does. Instead, each app places executable files in /usr/bin, configuration stuff in /etc and so on and so forth [16:25] theadmin: i was mainly concerned with .vmware because it has my vms and they are big, .matlab nad .mathematica because they are big and theres nothing i need saved [16:25] moondoggy: use /home if you want more pernament place for logs [16:25] divByz0: Ah alright, that makes sense. Sure, you can leave them out [16:25] Why does this seem strange to me? [16:25] theadmin: what about configurations and settings [16:25] divByz0: Everything regarding that should be in /home, except system-wide configurations of which there are usually few unless you're running servers or something. [16:26] Ok, I'll just keep it near the executable. [16:26] theadmin: awesome, thanks [16:26] divByz0: You can think of /home sort of like a windows profile. All your configuration and settings are stored tehre... [16:26] eraggo: thanks. [16:26] Sometimes when I log in, the clock is not shown. I am guessing this is some kind of kernel bug. Does anyone know a workround, apart from rebooting (which seems to fix it)?

[16:39] theadmin, i've been told there's a 0day vulnerability and that i would find it if i look in my cookies. but i have no idea what to look for. [16:39] you're the 0day vulnerability [16:39] EriC^^, pls === teward is now known as teward_ [16:41] could it be a bad idea to forward cookies to a random on the internet? [16:41] yes probably [16:41] hmm, ok, i'm thinking that even with ubuntu 14.10, btrfs doesn't have sufficient native raid5 support.. so mdraid 5 and btrfs as a single volume on the raid array is the way to use my current disks,, but... [16:41] i get no flexibility for changing the disk setup later.

[17:15] cfhowlett: how would i go about this? boot from gparted live and shrink the whole sda4 or wouldnt i have to shrink sda6 first no matter what [17:16] cfhowlett, for over all use [17:16] divBy0, boot live cd. choose the partition to shrink. execute and (probably) move remaining partitions to free the open space at the end [17:17] ravi, scribus or latex. different uses and demands. scribus is closer to wysiwyg. lyx is closer to whatyoumeaniswhatyouget. sudo apt-get ubuntustudio-publishing will grab the publishing metapackage.

[17:42] NymeriaFR, I don't remember the version, but I'd be happy finding it even if it was 11.10 [17:42] u [17:42] It was arround 2 years ago ? [17:43] NymeriaFR, I believe so. [17:43] I can't seem to find it on YouTube or elsewhere. Perhaps my google-fu is screwed up, or I'm missing something obvious.

[17:54] NymeriaFR, no, lxc just another os virt like docker, and i want to use newer systemd-nspawn since it's add new features that i need [17:54] Greetings Ubuntuers, I think this will be an easy question for many of you. [17:54] Can I newer version of a package, mess up an older version of a package that'd been installed with apt-get? [17:54] like rufus [17:54] *Can a newer*... [17:54] diego_: yes [17:54] !rufus [17:55] k1l_: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [17:56] ikonia: thanks. The thing is I noticed that the apt-get version is not the newest, but I did find one as a tar.ball and I don't want to mess it up. [17:56] diego_: a tar ball will mess things up [17:57] diego_: apt-get not having the newest is often a good thing [17:57] divBy0: so you are talking about live usb systems. not hdd installs [17:57] divBy0: i am fine with one stick with one ubuntu on it. so i cant tell you what method is best when you want different ones on on stick [17:58] k [17:58] ikonia: In this case however, there is a bug, which I think is fixed by a newer one. [17:58] diego_: I would strongly advise against using a tarball [17:59] diego_: I would strongly advised more than "I think it's fixed" [18:00] When I do "top" I see only about 2% of the memory free, but system seems to be running fine. Is the number misleading? [18:00] nagarik: use 'free -m' [18:01] ikonia: Is there another way to get a newer version that is not as risky as a tarball. [18:01] I see a lot of usage in "buffers" and cache [18:01] ? [18:01] diego_: I'd do more research first [18:01] Free is about the same as top. What does buffers mean? [18:01] about if that later version fixes it [18:01] hi [18:01] nagarik: In short, when the system doesn't need RAM for applications it will slowly use it for cache instead, but when it's needed it will revert [18:02] and if the "fix" has been back ported into the ubuntu package === hilldog is now known as beeboo [18:02] Tzunamii: so almost 70% is in the buffer in my case. So that memory will come back when needed? [18:02] yes [18:02] Your memory is cached [18:03] Okay, so I don't really need to worry then :) [18:03] Exemple : when you close firefox your system will not free used memory === ninedragon is now known as double-oh-nine [18:03] nagarik: Normally, no. [18:03] nagarik: this is the #1 faq about linux. see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [18:03] like that you can open it again faster [18:04] Thanks treehug88, will give it a good read. [18:04] But if you open another programm (not cached) it will free your cachec memory [18:04] did you understand ? [18:05] NymeriaFR: your firefox example is not quite true. Quite a lot of memory (anything allocated by firefox for e.g. webpages) is freed, but the firefox binary itself is cached for quicker startup. [18:05] ikonia: The developer of the package, b.t.w. it's called littler, did claim to fix it. I'm just worried about having other things broken. [18:06] Seveas, Thank you for precision === Necrozed- is now known as Necrozed [18:06] I thought a webpage is cached in ram [18:06] only while firfox is open [18:06] ikonia: It does mention a CRAN package, but I'm not familiar with that. [18:07] diego_: If possible, use a lab environment (read: a VM) to test new stuff in so you see what breaks and whatnot. Also, IF you decide to implement it in a production environment, be sure to backup/clone that system first. [18:07] diego_: what mentions the CRAN package ? [18:08] hi any good lens for ubuntu 14.04? thats stable ofcourse [18:08] !ram [18:08] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [18:08] ikonia: I'm sorry, I got confused with that. [18:09] ikonia: That was something else. [18:12] Tzunamii: That's a good point. I'm at the DEV environment, so I can be more risky. [18:12] hello [18:13] hello [18:13] ikonia: Do you mind expanding a little bit on why the tar balls are dangerous. Is it because of tarballs themselves, or is it about how they interact with the already installed packages? [18:14] how do I disable the horizontal scroll bar? [18:14] diego_: you don't install software from non-package-management sources, because they can't be kept up to date :) [18:14] Just enabled/configed eth1, it is responding to the network but iftop and iptraf does not seem to log any traffic, thoughts? [18:16] daftykins: That makes sense. But maybe I can find a different package manager that does have a newer version. [18:16] Good mornin' [18:16] diego_: wrong terminology, the package manager is always going to be APT with dpkg, maybe you can find a *PPA* that has what you are after [18:16] is there some statistic on how many software is available for Ubuntu and OS X? Because Iam thinking of switching from OSX to Ubuntu cause i feel like OSX lacks some software [18:17] !ppa | diego_ but these are not supported here [18:17] diego_ but these are not supported here: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

Hangs at BIOS loading screen and can't boot from live disk, etc. support ticket -> http://tinyurl.com/l32hkz5 [18:51] pzkpfw: Hardware problem, possibly broken storage [18:52] hmm then again maybe not [18:52] lol @ support ticket [18:52] theadmin: yeah that's a bit of a leap. [18:52] Since booting from other media doesn't work [18:53] !offtopic [18:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:53] pzkpfw: take the SSD out, reset by removing mains + battery, reload BIOS defaults, then try booting the USB flash drive without the SSD in. [18:54] pzkpfw: also, your claim that UEFI boot is required for that SSD is completely false. [18:54] exogar === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [18:55] yeah? [18:55] that happened to me for no reason... I also noted Javascript crashing a lot within firefox [18:55] don't know if they're related or not... [18:55] but I did a fresh install and both went away [18:55] except now I'm getting the "system errors" on startup now... [18:55] I have an .exe program that I cannot run my business without, and I cannot find anything web based that is comparable or anything in the software center. I tried to open it with Wine and tried again with Q4Wine. I got this message with both attempts "Version of Microsoft .NET Framework required to run Rabbit Register 25th Aniversary Edition was not found on this computer. Installation will be aborted now." I have also con [18:55] tacted the developer of the software, they said they had a few linux users get it to work, but they don't know how. [18:56] hmm, if i put tvshows and movies in the same directory, will plex organise them? [18:56] Exogar: i think i heard once that that happens because it sees historical error logs in some directory, if you found and deleted them they'd stop coming up. i don't know where they live, though [18:56] Amy_Lu_Who: It's a .NET application, use Mono to run it not Wine [18:56] Though, if it has an installer that's a problem [18:56] but now I'm afraid my laptop is pretty much bricked. I can't get into BIOS menu even... http://askubuntu.com/questions/582444/upgrade-14-04-to-14-10-hangs-at-dell-bios-screen-on-boot [18:56] Evening folks [18:56] pzkpfw: i gave you more instructions than that. try them. [18:57] or do i need to specify one directory as tvshows and one as movies? [18:57] Mono? which am I looking for in software center? [18:57] theadmin, mono runtime? [18:57] something to do with UEFI I'm guessing? I know nothing about UEFI though so dont' ask me [18:57] Amy_Lu_Who: if you really need that program you should consider virtualising Windows on top of Ubuntu with virtuabox. [18:57] Last night I was using mozilla firefox and flash to watch Amazon Prime with no problems. Today I'm getting "This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated. Activate Adobe Flash." with a big red "Check for updates" button. [18:57] pzkpfw: follow my above instructions please. [18:57] Amy_Lu_Who: Yeah that's the thing but what daftykins says is also true [18:58] *virtualbox [18:58] thanks daftykins I looked into /var/log and found some old stuff like syslog(2) up to syslog(7) I will delete them (or may this cause some trouble?) [18:58] Exogar: no those are completely unrelated [18:58] daftykins, theadmin i do not like windows. AT ALL. is it a real version of windows or a spoof? [18:58] The "Activate Adobe Flash" part is a link, when I click on it I get a firefox popup asking if I want to allow adobe flash to run. If I do, I can watch Amazon Prime. [18:58] Anybody know what this is about? [18:58] puff: yes this is how it happens, flash is dead now. [18:59] daftykins: Sigh. [18:59] Amy_Lu_Who: Err, Virtualbox just allows you to run any other operating system inside your current one [18:59] Amy_Lu_Who: that's your problem, if you want to use this program it is a Windows program, you can't make it ubuntu's problem to make it work. [18:59] daftykins: Not that I mind or will miss flash, but I was enjoying watching Amazon Prime :-( [18:59] Amy_Lu_Who: So it's as "real" as the ISO/DVD you feed it that's all [18:59] daftykins: oh okay, sorry I am new to linux [18:59] haha what was so funny about it? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [18:59] puff: so use chrome - it has pepperflash which may keep working [18:59] puff: get playonlinux from the ubuntu store, then install firefox in it with all plugins and defaults. i use that for watching xfinity [18:59] nope. not contaminating my computer with windows. it encourages the evil heathens. [18:59] puff: then if you have the latest chrome with updates you can watch netflix [19:00] Can someone possibly help me mounting a DVD-RW drive please [19:00] Amy_Lu_Who: i think you encouraged it by getting a Windows only program, actually :) [19:00] BlackVenom what happens when you try [19:00] i didnt buy it yet. would you like to make me a rabbit pedigree creator? [19:00] hi guys [19:01] MonkeyDust, I am stuck at the first hurdle I think [19:01] if i run sudo fdisk -l it doens't seem to show my DVD drive [19:01] take out the little watch battery? [19:01] rgr [19:01] "watch battery" [19:01] waht do you mean by 'removing mains'? [19:01] after a power outage i cant connect with remote gui to transmission [19:01] transmission-daemon is started [19:01] BlackVenom try sudo blkid [19:02] is there anything else i should start? [19:02] Amy_Lu_Who: a what? no, no. [19:02] daftykins fair enough. I wouldn't boot from that SSD until I changed to UEFI in the bios setting though [19:02] It* [19:02] MonkeyDust, how do I know which one of those is the DVD? [19:02] pzkpfw: because you probably booted ubuntu in EFI mode and so installed in EFI :) [19:03] pzkpfw: you have to boot legacy and install as legacy for the SSD to boot as legacy \o/ [19:03] Amy_Lu_Who: Well, really though, not being able to run a Windows program on Ubuntu is not an Ubuntu problem. People at #winehq may be of assistance if you want to get it working with Wine. [19:03] needing .NET is a bad sign though [19:03] daftykins, yeah i might end up spreadsheeting it but that will be a mess. much better to pay someone to do the hard part for me. is there a geneology program in software center that I missed? [19:03] Amy_Lu_Who: I don't really know of any for Linux, sadly [19:04] Amy_Lu_Who: don't have a clue. [19:04] BlackVenom paste this in a terminal sudo apt-get install pastebinit;sudo blkid|pastebinit [19:04] theadmin, i apologize for coming to the wrong place [19:04] pzkpfw: File system check ran ? After a power failure I do not even think about it, I just do it ! [19:04] daftykins: what do you mean by "removing mains"? By battery I assume you mean the laptop battery and not the little watch battery inside the laptop itself? [19:04] MonkeyDust, I already have it installed. Never knew how to use it though lol [19:04] one sec [19:04] daftykins, theadmin thank you both for your assistance. [19:04] daftykins: Thanks. [19:05] daftykins: Looks like divByz0 left, what do you think of playonlinux? [19:05] pzkpfw: correct, mains is mains power - aka outlet power for the americans or 'juice' - whatever you want to call it :D [19:05] I do not know how to follow your instructions. Sorry. Just asking for clarification. [19:05] MonkeyDust, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10096261/ [19:05] Amy_Lu_Who: My suggestion is to run "winetricks dotnet40" or whatever version your program uses [19:05] Amy_Lu_Who: Then, run the program with wine again [19:05] puff: it's not steam. never touched and never tried [19:06] wait, from terminal? [19:06] Hey, currently trying to install ubuntu over pxe-boot but after selecting keyboatd layout the "Failed to mount CD-ROM" message.. anyone knows what factors could cause that to occur? [19:06] Amy_Lu_Who: Yeah [19:06] BlackVenom "tv-shows"... could that be the dvd? is a collection of tv shows? [19:06] theadmin, ok. what exactly do i type, i love trminal but i don [19:06] theadmin, but i don't quite get it [19:06] MonkeyDust, nope. Thats my 2TB WD Red [19:07] MonkeyDust, and all it has on it is videos of cats, no TV Shows (honest)! [19:07] Amy_Lu_Who: Just type: winetricks dotnet40 [19:07] BlackVenom i believe you... but you're right, the dvd doesnt show in the list [19:07] Amy_Lu_Who: This will download and run the .NET installer with certain settings that make it... usable with wine [19:08] MonkeyDust, I knew it wasn't me [19:08] NET||abuse: Reading this, it seems I'm trapped: http://superuser.com/a/454989 . To be able to create the "sub" subdomain, in sub.mynick.no-ip.org, no-ip.org's DNS must define *.mynick.no-ip.org --> my IP . I guess it only defines mynick.no-ip.org --> my IP in fact, so I'm not free of creating subdomains [19:08] BlackVenom did you try a different dvd, to be sure? [19:08] Shows on boot though [19:08] that settings.json is a bit flimsy [19:08] The drive that is [19:08] MonkeyDust, Do you mean try a diferent drive or medium? [19:09] BlackVenom a differnet dvd disk [19:09] MonkeyDust, One moment [19:10] pascalav: yes, basically no-ip is not the best deal for what you're looking for. [19:11] MonkeyDust, Hello DVD drive :-) [19:12] BlackVenom does it show now, with fdisk or blkid?

[19:13] daftykins: Not steam? [19:14] MonkeyDust, EriC^^, So I put in a DVD of Charlie & Lola and it shows using blkid but if I stick an audio CD in the drive nothing shows [19:14] BlackVenom looks like it's the disk then, security comes to mind, or the different standards (bluray etc) [19:15] MonkeyDust, surely the Audio CD would still show and be readable though [19:20] MonkeyDust, EriC^^, what does this command do, dmesg | tail [19:22] hey daftikyns are you still here? [19:22] Would anyone know how I can stop conky from stealing focus from the desktop whenever I close a window or show desktop? [19:23] It's messing with my workflow and I am not far from removing it :-( [19:24] In other news I have discovered tmux and I LOVE IT! [19:24] :-) === double-oh-nine is now known as ninedragon [19:26] does nvidia has got a automate program to update drivers on ubuntu ? [19:26] realBigfoot: If you install the offical nvidia driver via the ubuntu repositories, then yes, if you install the unsupported version manually, then no [19:27] DJones: what is it called ? [19:28] hey guys... im using ubuntu 14.04 and quite frequently now, my desktop manager/window manager will crap out on and start freaking out on me. right now im using unity/compiz but it happens with kde as well. is there any way to fix this? [19:28] l [19:28] DJones: or will i upgrade always through additional drivers? [19:28] MonkeyDust, EriC^^ , Has everyone done a runner [19:29] realBigfoot: additional drivers, they'll be done automatically [19:31] realBigfoot: Proprietary, OEM -> maybe : In the instal process do you see " Would you like to register the kernel module sources with DKMS? " ? This will allow DKMS to automatically build a new module, if you install a different kernel later. [default: (N)o]: . [19:32] exit [19:32] Bashing-om: thanks [19:32] DJones: thanks [19:33] realBigfoot: Preferred is still via the repository , else trusted PPA before doing the OEM thing . [19:33] Bashing-om: I see... i have installed a version 331 that it is kind of buggy compared to the last one [19:34] Bashing-om: so i was wondering where I have to check out [19:35] realBigfoot: What returns -> ubuntu-drivers devices <- ? [19:36] BlackVenom i'm out of idea's [19:36] Do you know what that command does? [19:36] MonkeyDust [19:36] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10096675/ [19:36] MonkeyDust, dmesg | tail [19:40] realBigfoot: Look like ya only got the 3 choices .. open source, 304, or 331 ( and the updated 304, 331) . [19:41] Bashing-om: indeed... the open source i will never use it ... [19:41] Bashing-om: i have used it and lost my display port x( [19:42] I had to reinstall ubuntu from scratch. I couldn't even rollback the changes [19:42] Bashing-om: I will wait for the update patiently :P [19:44] hey, is it safe to install ubuntu side by side with windows 8.1? [19:44] realBigfoot: If ya want to play -> ubuntu-drivers autoinstall <- If the proprietary video driver is already installed then this command will only read the package lists and rebuild the dependency tree. If that happens then you know you have the proprietary driver installed. [19:44] if I install grub in the master-boot-record, will that prevent be to boot-up windows of the ntfs partion is encrypted with bitlocker= [19:44] ?* [19:44] Sup guys [19:45] So, how can I configure my touchscreen settings? I can't find a way to configure it [19:46] hello? [19:46] Bashing-om: nice thanks [19:46] realBigfoot: 'buntu just keeps getting better and better . [19:46] It really does [19:47] So are fingerprint sensors not supported? I've never been able to get mine working on my laptop [19:48] Foorack: ask ##windows [19:48] EriC^^, ok thx man [19:48] np [19:49] Bashing-om, have you heard that ubuntu will replace X for something? [19:49] realBigfoot: Mir? [19:50] SchrodingersScat: i think so.. but i am not sure [19:50] !dmesg | BlackVenom read this [19:50] BlackVenom read this: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux.

[20:03] hmm, I have an ubuntu server that traffic packets were custom/changed to go out certain devices depending on source nic, where does one set that? [20:05] lucidguy, "traffic packets were custom/changed to go out certain devices depending on source nic" what do you mean with that? [20:08] OerHeks, For example system has two nics, one configured on 192.168.1.0/24 and other 192.168.2.0/24. Packet coming in from host at x1.0 to be redirect and sent out interface configured at x.2.0 instead. Default bahavior would be to exit out same nic. === jonas_ is now known as Guest4969 [20:14] lucidguy, sounds like an IPtables job, something like this http://serverfault.com/questions/504205/redirect-traffic-from-2-ubuntu-external-nics-to-specific-internal-hosts [20:14] Saluti [20:14] !it | Toni [20:14] Toni: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[20:17] pzkpfw, after removing that battery, did you hold the powerbutton to clear all? [20:17] No, let me try that [20:17] + powercord ofcourse [20:18] I removed the battery and powercord before I opened it up and unplugged the button-cell battery for 10+ minutes [20:18] I even took the RAM out lol [20:19] also no SSD or HDDs are attached whatsoever [20:19] Hi folks. Trying to diagnose a closed port. nginx is bound to 0.0.0.0:80, ufw is disabled, iptables are empty, I can access 0.0.0.0:80 but cannot access the port externally. What should I check next? [20:19] I can ping and ssh the machine [20:20] pzkpfw, pushing the powerbutton ( you could see a brief light flash) should clear all. if this does not solve, contact dell again i guess [20:20] OerHeks ooo .. iptables -L showed nothing, but iptables-save gave me PREROUTING stuff.

Checkout "man xset" and look specifically at the DPMS and 's' (blank) options [21:39] Bray90820: you can use teamviewer when the screen is asleep? Is this a laptop? [21:40] Bray90820: Also, check "/var/log/xorg.0.log" and "/var/log/kern.log" for indications of ACPI/DPMS issues [21:40] tgm4883: This is a desktop [21:41] Bray90820: check the logs that TJ- mentioned [21:46] tgm4883: TJ- http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ka8qK253 [21:48] i have 18gb ram, will swap space help? [21:49] retroispresto: Do you hibernate the machine ? Do some real heavy duty number crunching ? [21:50] brb [21:50] hi [21:50] 15 years since last time using irc lol [21:51] icemoon: we've been waiting. [21:52] me too ;) [21:52] hi, looking at logrotate... I'm confused about the rotate "count" argument... some places say it's weeks, other says it's days [21:54] ill be around [21:55] sugi pula === mihai is now known as Guest21940 [21:55] fuck [21:55] Hey guys, I'm following the instructions to install nodejs via the package manager on ubuntiu... I've done this before and it's very straight forward, but I just want to understand what the commands are doing exactly. The first command it has me run is "curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -" The first line of output says "Populating apt-get cache..." how does it know that I'm downloading a package? [21:56] or is that just "piping" the setup file to run in bash [21:57] Roots47: it's generally not a good idea to just run random commands from the internet without knowing what they do [21:57] tgm4883: even on my free EC2 test instance? lmao. [21:57] that's how we learn, right? [21:57] Roots47: No, that is not how you learn [21:57] * tgm4883 facepalm [21:58] tgm4883: I have a general understanding of what CURL is... I'm not going to run rm -rf * or something, hah. [21:58] Roots47: did you even bother looking at the script? [21:58] Roots47 create a chroot, test your commands there [21:58] Hello buddies [21:58] I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm trying to get a Steam game to run on a hybrid-cards environment [21:58] Roots47: unless of course there is that bad command in the script you are running [21:59] tgm4883: do you mean looking at the output? or looking at the script itself before running it? [21:59] Roots47: I mean look at the script before you run it [21:59] Roots47: if you do that, it's fairly obvious why it output what it did [21:59] Doi, I can just open this up in a browser haha... nice. [22:00] looking at it now [22:00] At the moment I manually launched Steam with DRI_PRIME=1 and... it seems to work - at least much better than without any direct rendering at all [22:00] Roots47: and that would be how you learn, not by just randomly running commands, even in a sandbox [22:00] Which I'm very happy about [22:00] Although my goal is to set up customer's computer so he doesn't even have to worry about the nitty gritty stuff [22:01] (/me is impressed - Borderlands 2 seems to start!) [22:01] tgm4883: my question wasn't in regards to what this build script is doing, but rather the syntax of how they say to install it in the command lie [22:01] tgm4883: curl -sL http://someUrl | sudo bash - ... does this actually store the file somewhere? or just runs it on the fly? [22:02] Roots47: your question was "how does it know that I'm downloading a package?" It's obvious if you look at the script how it "knows that you are downloading a package" [22:03] tgm4883: sorry, that was just an aside. I was more or less seeking information about the commands being run. [22:03] should have been more clear. [22:03] u can't keep me out betch [22:03] and what the | sudo bash - is doing [22:04] Roots47: Something nasty. [22:04] Cheaterman: haha [22:04] Roots47: Let's be honest - don't pipe to bash without validating first [22:04] Cheaterman: it's definitely installing viruses [22:04] Especially as root [22:04] Yes. [22:04] Roots47: You're downloading a script and letting it run as root on your system. [22:04] Roots47: Precisely what tgm4883 said - and it basicaly boils down to what YOU said [22:04] I mean seriously people [22:04] ok so definitely a good idea (in practice) to verify the script first [22:04] Roots47: Not a "good idea" [22:04] mandatory for anyone SERIOUS [22:04] a must [22:04] yep [22:04] Basically [22:05] if you're dumb enough to _not_ validate [22:05] you deserve the rm -rf / [22:05] in fact, I'd probably download the script first, verify it locally, then run it [22:05] I'm fairly new to any sort of linux administration... I've done stuff through guides, but I'd like to really gain a deeper understanding of this stuff. I am a software engineer for my day job. [22:05] (don't type this at home kids, especially not as root) [22:05] instead of doing it all on the fly [22:05] tgm4883: Sometimes it's not enough [22:05] With my friends we did a security test [22:05] it checks your user agent so you have to CURL it to get the virus [22:05] haha [22:05] a wget / browser would send something clean [22:05] :-) [22:06] Cheaterman: no, I mean download it, verify it, and run it locally. Don't curl and pipe to bash [22:06] Man, I'm jealous of all you admin/network folk. :P [22:06] tgm4883: Especially not with cURL, see above [22:06] Roots47: well we kinda... don't have a life [22:06] it's the drawback :-) [22:06] I'm at a family dinner just FYI [22:06] Me neither, I just live in code all day haha. [22:06] working on my cousin's computer xD [22:06] same ^^" [22:06] Cheaterman: not true, at one point I had a secondlife [22:06] tgm4883: :DDDDDDDD [22:06] So true [22:06] tgm4883: lol, reference to the game? [22:07] that counts right ;) [22:07] Roots47: yes [22:07] I still do [22:07] oops wrong chanel [22:07] Cheaterman: what do you write for code? [22:08] Roots47: Unforutunately PHP is what I make a living out of - sometimes some bash but it's minimalistic [22:08] I do Python as a hobby though [22:08] ianorlin: It's okay, seems to be offtopic time ;-) [22:08] Cheaterman: nothing wrong with that meng, I'm self-taught, and PHP led my way to more advanced positions now. I do solely front-end dev now, javascript, angular-js... but my personal project uses a node/mongo backend. [22:09] I'm gay [22:09] I make pizzas [22:09] Hi. Is there a way to improve the accessebility options even more? I am using ubuntu on a TV and I already have bad eyes. I need even bigger text. [22:09] dtscode-: Good for ya! I'd love to be bi, twice as many people to sex with :-) [22:09] dtscode-: GO BACK TO #LP [22:09] this is getting way !OT [22:09] sliddjur: Please wait a sec, someone __serious__ will take care of your issue ^^" [22:09] as you may have noticed it's offtopic time [22:09] Cheaterman: I'm working on setting up continuous itegration/deployment for my personal project now.... which is what I'm installing node for :P [22:09] sliddjur: ubuntu on a TV as a media center, or a desktop? [22:09] Roots47: makes sense, although you could get some specific stuff to do that :-) [22:10] Cheaterman: I'm going to use jenkins and github [22:10] Cheaterman: at least to start... just to gain an understanding of the process/flow [22:10] tgm4883: im using it as a media center (plex, surfing youtube, facebook etc) [22:10] hey agent_white [22:10] where do you get your name from [22:10] it's a cool name [22:11] Roots47: makes sense :-) but I think we should let sliddjur get helped for now [22:11] Is there any way to give a privileged user a read-write view of other users' home directories? (Other than root access obviously) [22:12] yes [22:12] Cheaterman: sure thing, thanks for the advice. You'll probably be hearing more from me :o) [22:12] tgm4883: you as well. [22:12] kudu: Best way is prolly through some ACL's [22:12] sliddjur: not sure, have you tried something like this http://askubuntu.com/questions/471989/changing-icon-font-size-colour-in-14-04 [22:12] In 14.04, LightDM fails. /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log shows "Failed to find session configuration default" and "Failed to create session greeter." What should be the next thing to look in to? [22:13] agent_white: can't those be changed by the user who owns the directory though? also will vsftpd work with them? [22:13] give rw permissions to other or to group [22:14] No, I don't want every single user to be able to access other users' files [22:14] just certain privileged ones [22:15] Roots47: ^__^ [22:15] patrick__: check /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf or users.conf [22:16] Hey buddies I have a stupid question [22:17] kudu: have you tried putting priviledged usernames in unpriviledged groups in /etc/group? [22:17] I want my customer's Steam (/usr/bin/steam) to start with a custom (bash) variable set to a value [22:17] The DRI_PRIME=1 thingy for hybrid graphics [22:17] meant unpriviledged names [22:17] Do you have any idea how to achieve this? [22:18] fanderal: What do you mean? [22:18] It's a very simple thing, but I can't seem to achieve it with Ubuntu/Unity [22:18] :-/ [22:18] Nvm actually [22:19] I think Cheaterman is referring to the ability in Windows to add certain 'parameters' to be added when execuables are started in the properties [22:19] kudo: open /etc/group and add priviledged names to unpriviledged names' group [22:19] kudu: Yeah best bet seems like making a group that has access to that user's home directory, setting a ACL on that home directory to ensure the group permissions carry across to all new files created, then just add users to that group. [22:19] Cheaterman: did you try export var="bla" in his ~/.profile [22:19] pzkpfw: Or in Gentoo. [22:20] EriC^^: Oh. I didn't think about something so simple [22:20] Makes sense [22:20] I guess it takes a relog to work, so lemme add it, and try [22:21] Erf, Unity doesn't like that. [22:21] I mean - really doesn't. === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [22:22] Like, I'm missing the background, etc - as I said, this is related to hybrid graphics === BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away [22:22] DRI_PRIME=1, anyone? [22:22] Anyways. It's a good start EriC^^ [22:22] Do you have more ideas? [22:23] Hey guys, not sure if this is the right channel for this... but I have a basic node server running on port 5000 but when I navigate to amazon-public-dns-url:5000 I just get 'this webpage is not available'... it works when I run it on my local machine. Any thoughts on how I might debug this? [22:24] My security group is open to the world on ports 80 and 22 [22:24] wait a second, duh. [22:24] Sorry, lost connection. @EriC^^: do not have /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, but do have /etc/lightdm/users.conf. It reads: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10098822/plain/ [22:24] Cheaterman: how does the user start it? [22:24] EriC^^: From the dock [22:25] Cheaterman: maybe add it to the .desktop file? [22:25] Answered my own question... lmao. "It's running on port 5000 and my security group allows people on ports 80 and 22" should have said that to myself before asking hah. [22:25] EriC^^: Hmm, I didn't realize it used a desktop file [22:25] Exec= var="bla"; start steam [22:25] Lemme try that [22:25] Yep [22:25] well [22:25] exec env VAR=bla steam [22:25] rather [22:25] hi [22:30] ubuntu used to show numbers when i held down some key for the unity bar .. how can I enable that again, is taht compiz? what is that setting called? [22:30] pressing the super key doesn't do that? [22:32] EriC^^, i think i disabled that long ago [22:32] The guide I'm following to allow node to run on port 80 involves running the command "sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /usr/local/bin/node" -- but running that returns "The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file is not a regular (non-symlink) file" [22:32] i need the super for something else [22:32] patrick__: kind of odd, i can't see your paste [22:33] EriC^^: how about this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10098927/plain/ [22:33] patrick__: this is mine for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/10098926/ [22:34] patrick__: if i add the /plain part it asks me to login, anyways it's the same as mine [22:35] patrick__: maybe try to reinstall unity-greeter ? [22:35] sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-greeter [22:37] Hey, I'm running ubuntu server 14.04.01 on a vps under openvz, and sometimes I get an out of memory / fork errors, even though I should have enough memory according to 'free'. Is there a way to debug it? [22:37] Does anyone know if the normal (Android Aquarius E4.5 can be user-upgraded to Ubuntu [22:37] ? [22:37] yacc: not sure you are going to find anyone that knows that, but if they exist, they will probably be in #ubuntu-touch [22:37] EriC^^: Thanks for the suggestion. My machine does not have internet capabilities, so it will take me a few mins to burn and CD and try it. Will let you know. [22:38] patrick__: it should already be there, you don't need an internet connection to reinstall it [22:39] When I say I have enough memory, I mean the line at '-/+ buffers/cache' has ~1700 MiB free, but when the value under 'free' at the 'Mem' is near zero, I start getting those fork errors. [22:40] hey I have question about running firefox [22:40] skapism: well, do you have guaranteed and shared ram? [22:40] This just happened when I restarted lighttpd, one of the php-cgi processes ran out of memory, and I couldn't spawn a new window in screen. [22:40] EriC^^: seems like I do not have unity-greeter. "Package unity-greeter is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source." [22:40] k1l_: I have 2 GiB guaranteed, yes, at least that is what my provider says. [22:40] hey guys! I am trying to run mutillidae-vm and I get Vagrant: [22:40] * Unknown configuration section 'berkshelf'. [22:41] Has anyone here have problems running a live stream on firefox [22:41] skapism: on openvz all hardware is shared. so i would talk to the hoster if there is something not working well [22:41] patrick__: hmm which ubuntu is it? [22:41] 14.04 [22:41] unity right? [22:41] yes [22:41] that's odd, it reinstalled fine here [22:42] patrick__: type apt-cache policy unity-greeter [22:42] k1l_: it couldn't be anything related to memory management? because I noticed this behaviour occurs when the value at 'Mem', 'free' reaches near 0 [22:43] k1l_: also, I had another OS installed before on this node, and it didn't display such a behaviour [22:43] skapism: could be that he tries to swap. and if you dont have swap he cant give more ram or the ookiller will start to shoot other apps [22:44] k1l_: is there possibly any log of this somewhere? I looked through various logs and couldn't find anything [22:44] syslog. or the webserver log if that is the one with the issue [22:44] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10099039/ [22:45] patrick__: can you get an internet connection on that machine? [22:45] EriC^^: No [22:46] Funny how the British keyboard layout only works if you add the American one? [22:46] patrick__: can you type this gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | grep "Package: unity-greeter" [22:46] patrick__: also, cat /etc/issue [22:48] EriC^^: output of the former command is: Package: unity-greeter [22:48] k1l_: another thing that drew my attention is that now, the value at 'Mem:', 'free', is ~1426, after it was ~170 just moments ago. and generally, if look at memory usage over time, it seems free memory slowly 'drains' until it almost reaches zero, and then the cache becomes smaller again and the free memory comes back to normal. is this normal behaviour? [22:48] EriC^^: output of the latter is: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l [22:48] skapism: that depends heavily on your programs that use the ram. [22:49] patrick__: ok, that means it was supposedly installed when ubuntu was installed ( or should have been ) [22:49] skapism: Also check `dmesg` for more info about your oom issue. [22:50] patrick__: type ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep unity-greeter === kamal is now known as Guest17848 [22:51] agent_white: thank you, though dmesg returns without any output. [22:51] EriC^^: no results [22:52] skapism: the issue on your case its that its a openvz virtual guest. even if ubuntu does everything right its still possible that the host is going mad. [22:52] skapism: That's odd... [22:53] patrick__: ok, i guess you'll have to install it from another machine [22:53] skapism: and the empty dmesg is a limitation of openvz when its setup like that [22:53] Salamalekoum Ubuntu [22:54] EriC^^: alright, will do. [22:54] k1l_: yeah, it sounds plausible to me, I'm just concerned that memory usage changed so suddenly after I switched installations. [22:54] problem using mysql workbench [22:54] skapism: you dont know what the other VPSs on that host do now [22:55] k1l_: true, it's just a bit too much of a coincidence that ram usage would start going nuts just after I reinstall my node :) [22:56] skapism: well, see what uses your ram and see if you could tweak that [22:57] k1l_: well, the only thing I haven't migrated was my old mysql configuration... [22:57] I guess that could have a significant influence on ram behaviour [22:57] Heeeeeeeeeeey veados === Matthew is now known as Guest15827 [23:00] Well, thanks for the help, I will look into the sql configuration again. [23:06] modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'lirc_serial': Key has expired,how to fix this?

Re-installing catalyst is fine but unity only shows my wallpaper [23:10] Slig, how did you reinstall catalist?? [23:10] via the .run from their website [23:10] Hey guys, I installed node via apt-get install and then uninstalled it and built it manually... the first install installed node to /usr/bin/nodejs and the manual build installed it to /usr/local/bin/node... however, when I run "node -v" to check the version, I get -bash: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory -- why is it looking for node in /usr/bin/node? I cant find any referecnce to this in my environment variables. [23:10] Slig oh, we recommend the driver from softwarecenter, not the .run [23:11] I tried the open source driver but it had the same problem. Installing via the .runs has always worked in the past [23:11] Duh, had to open a new terminal session... [23:11] hey guys i have this file called obgiwkjemj in /usr/bin/ and /usr/bin/X11/ [23:11] it looks like its sending ddos [23:12] how do i know how i got compromoised and what to do to protect [23:14] I previously used that driver which I installed via the .run so it should work again. [23:14] has anyone run ubuntu on google compute engine?

I am not entirely sure what is going on because when I "echo $LANG" I get a blank response. [23:17] momoterr: you got a desktop running on your server? [23:17] no [23:17] doctorly: $LANG and $lang are different in bash, idk sublime though, just that those would be different variables. [23:17] just command line [23:17] not sure what to do i ran tops [23:18] SchrodingersScat: they actually both return with blank lines [23:18] and it shows me obgiwkjemj process at the top at 25% digital ocean shutdown my server network connection telling me to fix it [23:18] i run ls -l on the the that file [23:18] doctorly: could try export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [23:18] momoterr: so what is that file? whats in it? [23:19] its running [23:19] i dont know [23:19] i think its a program that sends out ddos [23:19] SchrodingersScat: Can you think of a reason my $LANG wouldn't be returning any value? I'm kinda scared to change it if there is a deeper problem happening [23:20] is it possible for ubuntu server to jump to readonly fs (/) without rebooting? [23:20] can you pastebinit the content?

[23:21] how do i figure out how /usr/bin/obgiwkjemj was installed [23:21] Then I have a problem.. :p [23:21] m1dnight_: of course [23:21] Using visudo - but still it says I need to use sudo to run it… There are a lot of forum posts about not getting hibernation to work - this is not my case. It works just not without using sudo [23:21] my server seems to be doing it every so often and I can't figure out why [23:21] momoterr: what is in that file?

[23:34] I found this: https://codesilence.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/live-resizing-of-an-ext4-filesytem-on-linux/ [23:36] erikk, that guide is talking about a VM situation, you cannot resize an active partition, that is why you need a live usb/cd [23:37] OerHeks: Are there any ways to do it without a live cd or usb? [23:37] At the moment, I have no dvd drive and no flash drives around [23:37] erikk, not that i know. [23:37] *of [23:38] OerHeks: Thanks [23:38] chroot your swap space and do it from there? [23:39] I don't know how to do that, but I thought about something like that [23:40] I have separate really small partitions that the linux installer made for me [23:40] But I don't know what I'd do with them and am generally pretty beginner-level when it comes to most terminal stuff [23:44] erikk you can create partitions with dd if=blah of=blah (input file, output file), but the space is limited to 25GB [23:44] MonkeyDust: Why is that allowed but I can't just do it with GParted? [23:45] hi folks, what is the difference for the sources.list in desktop and server distribution ? [23:46] erikk it's: dd if=/dev/zero of=mydisk count=2048000 <= creates a disk of 1GB, change it as needed [23:47] I have an ARM version for the odroid-u3, and in the server version I have the error "configure: error: This package requires GLib >= 2.32.0 to compile." when I try to compile gstreamer 1.4.5 and I switched from trusty to vivid already [23:48] erikk then: mkfs -t ext4 mydisk; mkdir ~/some_name;sudo mount -o loop mydisk ~/that_name [23:48] XwZ, there are no differences AFAIK, and for Vivid support, join #ubuntu+1 until release. [23:48] MonkeyDust: And that's all I have to do? I can just do 20580000, run that in my command line, and magically have some free space? [23:48] and replace ext4 with ntfs if I wantt hat? [23:49] OerHeks: ok thank you [23:49] for 10 GB? [23:49] It is that simple? [23:49] erikk yes, explore the options [23:49] doesn't sound right to me, but k. [23:49] oh, ok, second line [23:49] Thanks [23:49] erikk, MonkeyDust, this is on a live system? [23:49] OerHeks: Not live in terms of cd / dvd. Live as in an installed system [23:50] still, that's just removing the first bit of the drive, yeah? [23:52] Is this safe? [23:53] no === `hypermist` is now known as pcupgrades [23:53] !backups [23:53] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:53] erikk it's safe, i've tested it, best start with 1GB, to see how it works, simply delete the file (disk) if you no longer need it [23:54] its hardly the same thing as creating a partition though [23:54] mounting a file as a disk? [23:54] right [23:54] erikk: what are you actually trying to accomplish [23:55] Ben64: I have no dvd drive and no flash drives and would like to make an NTFS partition. [23:55] for what purpose [23:55] Ben64: To try to put a Windows iso on it to try to install something from taht [23:55] erikk maybe I misunderstood: what I suggest, creates mountable disk space, it does not create free space [23:56] hello all [23:56] erikk: so you want to install windows on your computer? [23:57] Ben64: yeah [23:57] Im having a problem with my lightdm every since i installed i3, i cant log into my xubuntu or ubuntu desktops through the lock screen [23:57] Tried most top google results but nothing has fixed it :/ [23:57] erikk: you'll probably need a dvd/usb join ##windows for windows support [23:57] votlon: what happens? [23:57] Ben64: They really don't help with that stuff too much especially when it comes to licensing [23:57] Ben64: So at this stage, all I'd like to do is make an ntfs partition [23:58] erikk: we're not going to help you pirate either [23:58] Ben64: I have an OEM key obtained from my laptop [23:58] k1l_: it acts like its going log in -> screen goes black -> then it sits on the black screen for a sec -> then lands back on the lock screen [23:58] Ben64: I am going to use this on a Windows 8 iso downloaded from microsoft.com [23:58] sounds like piracy, ask microsoft [23:59] they give evals for free ben :3 [23:59] 90 days of free use ;) [23:59] Ben64: All I'm trying to do is figure out how to make an ntfs partition [23:59] votlon: And if you have an OEM key, it might work permanently [23:59] you can't without a livecd [23:59] Ben64: Unless you figure out some other way to do it [23:59] nevertheless, windows is not on topic here [23:59] Ben64: Exactly. All I'm trying to do is make an ntfs partition [23:59] you can't without a livecd [23:59] votlon: log into tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1) then see if .Xauthority belongs to user:user or root:root (ls -al). if its root, chown it to your user:user again [23:59] But have neither a disk drive or a usb drive
