[00:11] <dachris> maybe sudo
[00:12] <[Ex0r]> hello, I have a local ubuntu server (14.04), that is hosting a domain, and I am looking to get email working on this server. Is there a step-by-step setup guide I can follow online for getting it to work ?
[00:12] <zikkan> anyone have a noob friendly guide on how to setup a website on ubuntu?
[00:13] <juliofreitas> Hi! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. I tried to reinstall my pulseaudio and alsa-base but my sound still don't work. Now when I go to sound settings I see just "Dummy interface". Can anyone help me/
[00:14] <jjavaholic> how would I use a mega sky 580 using ubuntu? VLC if so how?

[00:27] <plasmasnake> did Ubuntu 14.04.2 not get released today?
[00:29] <plasmasnake> hmm, apparently a few showstopper bugs, according to one of the ubuntuforums admins: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2264086
[00:33] <dctrd> Hey guys im having an issue with installing ubuntu
[00:34] <dctrd> Ive tried installing it via usb and dvd and it installs successfully but when it restarts i get the windows boot manager
[00:35] <dctrd> Is it that its not deleting windows 7 properly or something else
[00:35] <plasmasnake> did you install it onto its own hard disk?
[00:36] <plasmasnake> or is it partitioned?
[00:36] <dctrd> Yeah on its own
[00:36] <plasmasnake> then i wonder if you just need to re-arrange your boot priority in your BIOS
[00:36] <dctrd> Selected the option to make it remove windows and just be inatalled seperately
[00:36] <plasmasnake> oh you removed windows completely
[00:37] <dctrd> Well i have it on dvd then HDD
[00:37] <plasmasnake> well that sounds unusual
[00:38] <dctrd> Maybe something new i can try ?
[00:38] <plasmasnake> maybe you should try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[00:39] <plasmasnake> also i'm curious how your partition layout looks
[00:39] <plasmasnake> i wonder if there's that 100MB partition left over from windows maybe
[00:40] <Mahjongg_> hello, can you suggest a tool to create an encrypted disk on an existing file system?
[00:41] <dctrd> I think it deleted the 100mb one too
[00:42] <dctrd> Because it said deleting 2 partition
[00:43] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | dctrd
[00:45] <dctrd> Maybe it
[00:45] <dctrd> Bevcause im using the lts version ?
[00:49] <dctrd> Maybe using the advanced partitioning tool will help ?
[00:50] <dgarstang> got graphite issues, but it's running on Ubuntu. :)
[00:50] <dgarstang> specifically, the web front end doesn't seem to be running
[00:52] <Jordan_U> dctrd: It's hard to tell what's going on currently without more information. Please run boot info script as ubottu explained, which will give us most if not all of the infomation we need.
[00:53] <dctrd> I took a picture of the partitions
[00:53] <dctrd> Uploading
[00:53] <dctrd> Because there seems to be a lot
[00:53] <zikkan> How long does it normally take to register a-record?
[00:54] <daftykins> zikkan: pretty sure this is an OS support channel :)
[00:54] <daftykins> take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:54] <zikkan> Thanks!

[00:59] <dctrd> If it helps
[01:03] <daftykins> dgarstang: never heard of it, can you provide more details to the channel if you want support here? :)
[01:03] <Jordan_U> dctrd: The output from boot info script would be more helpful. Are you you working on getting that?
[01:04] <dctrd> Not yet
[01:07] <Jordan_U> dctrd: Why not?
[01:07] <skypce> hey guys, i was compiled kernel liquorix without kmod dependency for ubuntu : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtxT49AIs9o&feature=youtu.be
[01:08] <daftykins> skypce: sorry not supported here
[01:09] <skypce> ok sure is nothing official , but the kernel works great
[01:09] <daftykins> that's nice
[01:11] <Jordan_U> skypce: This channel also isn't for advertizing your personal videos. Please stick to Ubuntu support questions and answers.
[01:13] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: i guess this is it http://pastebin.com/E52eVmpp
[01:16] <Jordan_U> 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).
[01:17] <dctrdonpc> hows that? because i have one ssd where i have the OS and another 2Tb drive where i put my files
[01:17] <dctrdonpc> so hows each OS on a differenct drive ?
[01:17] <dctrdonpc> because when i installed windows i put it on the 64 one, did same while installing ubuntu too
[01:17] <dctrdonpc> didnt touch the 2tb one
[01:19] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: The 64 GB drive contains only Ubuntu. The 2TB drive contains only Windows.
[01:19] <dctrdonpc> how the hell did that happen
[01:19] <dctrdonpc> it was on the 64 one, what did it move or something ?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> 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] <Jordan_U> 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] <dctrdonpc> so what do i do ?
[01:22] <dctrdonpc> because in the bootloader the first drive its set too boot from is the 64 gb drive
[01:22] <dctrdonpc> i think
[01:22] <dctrdonpc> because ive never modified it
[01:22] <dctrdonpc> actually ive just switched it around with  the dvd drive
[01:23] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: You've never modified it, but you've been keeping Windows' bootloader on the 2 TB drive.
[01:23] <Jordan_U> 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] <dctrdonpc> ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[01:24] <dctrdonpc> so i just gotta switch the drives around in bios ?
[01:25] <dctrdonpc> then delete the windows bootloader off the 2tb drive ?
[01:25] <dctrdonpc> well second step isnt necessary but better than it taking space
[01:26] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: Correct (though Windows' bootloader is taking up very little space).
[01:28] <Sunson> Hi All
[01:29] <Sunson> Anyone available for a question...
[01:29] <plasmasnake> dctrdonpc: the link i provided earlier on should help you fix it
[01:29] <dctrdonpc> the boot repairer ?
[01:29] <plasmasnake> even in that photo you shared in here, it says "Windows 7 (loader)" which means the bootloader is on your 2TB drive
[01:29] <plasmasnake> yeah
[01:29] <Sunson> I'm trying to figure out a good software for ubuntu that is like vmware.
[01:30] <plasmasnake> but before you do that you can double-check your boot priority to make sure your SSD is on the top
[01:30] <plasmasnake> Sunson: there is virtualbox, which is free
[01:31] <dctrdonpc> ok
[01:32] <daftykins> Sunson: +1 for virtualbox
[01:34] <Sunson> plasmasnake: ok i'll try that...i searched virtual machine and got nothing...in the app store

[01:43] <dctrd> Just need to know how to delete the windows bootloader off my other drive
[01:45] <daftykins> dctrd: are you dualbooting, but letting GRUB load Windows? that'd be a bad move imo
[01:45] <ulkesh> A friend of mine got a new laptop with a newly released Nvidia GTX 965M video card (seems to have hybrid graphics with an Intel chipset, not sure if it's two chips on the motherboard or one chip with both chipsets)...anyone successfully gotten the gtx 965M functioning properly with full 3D? He's tried the proprietary nvidia driver and bumblebee to no avail.
[01:46] <dctrd> No no not dual booting
[01:47] <dctrd> Windows is already removed its just that the bootloader is still on the drive
[01:49] <zikkan> why does it reply this? http://pastebin.com/KMhjr7Rd
[01:49] <Bashing-om> ulkesh: New Hybrid graphics : https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia + nvidia-prime + nvidia-setings .
[01:49] <Jordan_U> dctrd: To get rid of the booloader files, remove /bootmgr and /Boot/ from sdb1. To replace Windows' boot sector with grub, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and when prompted select sdb (not sdb1) as an install device for grub's boot sector. Select with space bar, hit Enter to continue.
[01:50] <ulkesh> thanks, Bashing-om, will take a look

[02:11] <RICHARD_CHEN> hi
[02:11] <ziran> Hello
[02:12] <RICHARD_CHEN> ^-^
[02:12] <divBy0> i have a program that runs by executing ./program-name from a terminal. how can i make it so that program shows up in my applications search and i dont have to always run it from terminal
[02:12] <somsip> divBy0: put it in $PATH?
[02:13] <RICHARD_CHEN> ziran, where are you come from?
[02:13] <somsip> !ot | RICHARD_CHEN
[02:13] <ziran> Chian.@ Richard Chen
[02:13] <ziran> China
[02:13] <RICHARD_CHEN> haha
[02:14] <divBy0> somsip: what is $PATH
[02:14] <ziran> Where are you?
[02:14] <RICHARD_CHEN> china, too
[02:14] <RICHARD_CHEN> ^_^
[02:14] <ziran> Which City?
[02:14] <somsip> divBy0: in a terminal, type 'echo $PATH'. Those are the directories that will be searched when you type a command. Put the script in one of those, and it should be picked up
[02:14] <EriC^^> divBy0: what do you mean by shows up in my applications search?
[02:14] <ziran> I'm in Hangzhou
[02:14] <RICHARD_CHEN> suzhou,kunsan
[02:14] <somsip> ziran: stop the chat please. Take it to private message or #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:14] <somsip> RICHARD_CHEN: you too
[02:15] <RICHARD_CHEN> ok
[02:15] <ziran> ok
[02:15] <divBy0> EriC^^: the top button search your computer for applications and resources. Launchpad?
[02:15] <somsip> thanks both
[02:16] <EriC^^> divBy0: you have to create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications
[02:16] <somsip> EriC^^: I don't use Unity, but I thought that was just for Unity?
[02:16] <EriC^^> somsip: yeah, it's the dash
[02:17] <somsip> EriC^^: divBy0: really? I thought the dash searched PATH for executables. Maybe my bad then
[02:17] <divBy0> EriC^^: what goes in this file and how is it different than somsip's method
[02:17] <Jordan_U> divBy0: Did you read the link I gave you earlier, https://developer.gnome.org/integration-guide/stable/desktop-files.html.en ?
[02:18] <divBy0> Jordan_U: no but i read what you said before it about it being aimed more towards developers and not a user just trying to make a shortcut
[02:19] <Jordan_U> divBy0: I've read through it, and it's perfectly applicable to a user creating a "shortcut" as well.
[02:19] <RIOTGREG> hello everybody
[02:19] <Jordan_U> divBy0: (I hadn't read the entire thing when I made that first comment).
[02:19] <divBy0> Jordan_U: ok, ill give it a try. im interested in EriC^^'s method though what goes on in this folder and whats a .desktop file for
[02:20] <Jordan_U> divBy0: That's exactly what the article explains :)
[02:20] <Sunson> anyone know the best software on ubuntu to burn mp4 files to dvd that can be played on most dvd players? I'm having issues completing the process using various softwares i've found so far...help please

[02:25] <d4op> lol
[02:25] <d4op> bb
[02:27] <dctrd> Jordan_U all fixed man thanks a lot, but why do i feel that moving around windows is kida sluggish
[02:29] <Jordan_U> dctrd: You likely don't have hardware accelerated 3D drivers installed currently. Please pastebin the output of "glxinfo" and "lspci".
[02:34] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: this is a part of the glxinfo, http://pastebin.com/xzeU9V21, i wasnt able to copy the whole thing because i cant scroll up anymore
[02:35] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: glxinfo | pastebinit
[02:36] <dctrdonpc> ?
[02:36] <dctrdonpc> also heres the lspci http://pastebin.com/4mkzCKXw
[02:36] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: Running "glxinfo | pastebinit" will automatically create a pastebin link containing the full output of "glxinfo". You may need to install pastebinit first.
[02:37] <dctrdonpc> yep got it
[02:37] <dctrdonpc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10083638/
[02:39] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: OK. You currently have 3D accelerated drivers, but you might get better performance by installing Nvidia's proprietary drivers. You can do so from the "Additional Drivers" utility.
[02:41] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: not available in store anymore
[02:43] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: I think just entering "Additional Drivers" in Unity search should bring it up.
[02:44] <Bashing-om> Jordan_U: dctrdonpc :: "Display controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation " and " VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation " ; Does this mean hybrid graphics (nvidia-prome or bunblebee ?).
[02:45] <Bashing-om> prome/prime*
[02:45] <daftykins> hehe, i read that as bundlebee
[02:45] <Jordan_U> Bashing-om: Indeed it probably does.
[02:45] <dctrdonpc> ok i got it
[02:46] <dctrdonpc> but dont really know what to do
[02:46] <daftykins> no it doesn't guys, it's a discrete card in a desktop with intel on-die graphics too
[02:46] <daftykins> dctrdonpc: desktop PC right?
[02:46] <Bashing-om> daftykins: Yeah ! That teach me to IRC over my ice cream !
[02:46] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: As Bashing-om noticed, you probably have hybrid graphics. I have no experience with hybrid graphics, so I can't really be of much help here.
[02:46] <dctrdonpc> there are like three options and only  has a dot near it
[02:46] <dctrdonpc> yes
[02:46] <daftykins> Bashing-om: :D
[02:46] <dctrdonpc> i dont really know what hybrid graphics are
[02:47] <Jordan_U> Bashing-om: Though it looks like currently they're using the Nvidia card with nouveau at least mostly successfully (glxinfo output looks good, though the original question was about window movement being laggy).
[02:48] <daftykins> guys it's not optimus :)
[02:48] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> s/with/would/
[02:49] <Bashing-om> Jordan_U: daftykins :: OK, Just cheking up on my short commings. Had not thought of 'desktop' .
[02:49] <Jordan_U> 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] <daftykins> anytime guys ^5
[02:50] <dctrdonpc> yeah just have 1
[02:50] <dctrdonpc> 770
[02:52] <daftykins> dctrdonpc: you probably got offered a couple of versions, maybe version 331 is what you chose?
[02:52] <daftykins> of nvidia driver
[02:52] <dctrdonpc> yes i did
[02:52] <dctrdonpc> the proprietary one
[02:53] <dctrdonpc> currecntly installing
[02:53] <daftykins> neat, that should work well
[02:53] <dctrdonpc> sweet
[02:53] <dctrdonpc> theres one that has tested next to it
[02:53] <dctrdonpc> that one better ?
[02:53] <daftykins> probably the ancient 304
[02:53] <Scunizi> Can I upgrade 12.04 to 14.04 without disabling the nvidia driver from x-swat ppa? or is that a recepie for disaster?
[02:53] <daftykins> nah, not for that card
[02:53] <daftykins> Scunizi: you should purge all packages from PPAs before upgrade
[02:53] <daftykins> and fully remove said PPAs too
[02:53] <Scunizi> daftykins: ok.. thanks
[02:54] <daftykins> !ppapurge
[02:54] <radix__> Im thinking about buying a Bonobo Extreme from System76.  Standard config is a 4710MQ CPU and a GTX 970M GPU, if I don't do gaming (mostly just editing vids and pics, compiling some code and apps, and moving large data files), would I probably benefit at all from upgrading either os those?
[02:54] <radix__> of not os
[02:54] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: If needed, you can upgrade from the terminal with do-release-upgrade (if purging the ppa causes you to lose X).
[02:55] <Scunizi> daftykins: will purging the nvidia driver put me back to the basic driver automatically?
[02:56] <dctrdonpc> ok so i installed it
[02:56] <dctrdonpc> cant really notice a difference
[02:57] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: thanks.. that's helpful.  How do I revert to the "normal" stock video driver ie non-nvidia
[02:57] <Jordan_U> 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] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: Did you reboot?
[02:58] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: ok.. here I go :)
[02:58] <dctrdonpc> no
[02:58] <dctrdonpc> lol
[02:58] <dctrdonpc> brb

[02:58] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: Note that you should probably reboot after ppa-purging and before upgrading.
[02:59] <SUnixSys> anyone know a fix for xchat so when you minimize it and try to bring it back it relaunches a new instance of the application
[02:59] <glogic> radix__: INstead of repeating the question here, how about ##hardware?
[02:59] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: understood
[03:00] <EriC^^> SUnixSys: that's actually a feature i think
[03:01] <EriC^^> hmm, nevermind
[03:01] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: fuck yeah ultra smooth
[03:01] <dctrdonpc> also resolution fixed
[03:01] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc: Great :) In the future though, please watch your language in this channel.

[03:01] <ubuntu431> hello, Someone can help me?
[03:02] <radix__> Sorry. New to IRC and I guess I didn't understand the conventions. I'll try there instead.
[03:02] <ubuntu431> I want to install Lubuntu, but I don't know if 64 bit image is compatible with my 64bit processor
[03:02] <radix__> Thanks.
[03:03] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: "AMD64" refers to all 64 bit x86-64 CPUs, including Intel's, if that's what you're wondering about.
[03:03] <ianorlin> ubuntu431, there are 64 bit builds of lubuntu
[03:03] <Bashing-om> ubuntu431: The 64 bit image is compatible with both AMD and Intel .
[03:03] <ubuntu431> some newer  instructions from the processor requires the newer linux distribution
[03:04] <GeekDude> 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] <glogic> ubuntu431: If a test drive dvd is available, you can always boot into it to be certain.
[03:04] <ubuntu431> Do you know what processor instruction requires Lubuntu or Ubuntu 2 install in my Intel Celeron D processor?
[03:04] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: anything else i need to configure? usually donr after a fresh installation ?
[03:05] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: Ubuntu only depends on instructions that are available in all 64 bit CPUs.
[03:05] <Jordan_U> dctrdonpc:
[03:05] <EriC^^> SUnixSys: this looks promising https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xchat-indicator/+bug/1122853/comments/6

[03:06] <ubuntu431> I dont want to download again other image with different structure
[03:06] <dctrdonpc> thanks a lot for the help really appreciate it
[03:06] <jberg_> hey, whats the best vm environment for ubuntu to run windows on, and also the same for windows except reverse
[03:07] <Scunizi> jberg_: never had an issue with virtualbox.org
[03:07] <ubuntu431> Windows 7 SP1 64bits runs well with this processor
[03:07] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: I would highly recommend using ppa-purge, it just makes it easier to be sure that you got everything.
[03:07] <jberg_> also, what are these "containers" i hear about? are they kind of like a vm but not quite?
[03:07] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: Then you're fine.
[03:07] <jberg_> Scunizi: ok thanks
[03:07] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: something is wrong with my syntax then .. I've tried a couple of ways and it errors
[03:07] <ubuntu431> I am affraid if the 64 bit image does not work with my processor
[03:08] <GeekDude> ok, installing libnss-winbind helped, I can now ping both ways
[03:08] <Jordan_U> jberg_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating-system-level_virtualization
[03:09] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: but then I'm trying to identify the ppa from the sources list.. should I look them up on the web?
[03:09] <ubuntu431> I will install Lubuntu with Windows 7, dual bott, because Netbeans IDE runs slowly with Windows 7
[03:09] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: How many times do we need to tell you that your processor will work fine? Your processor is about the only thing we *can* guarantee will work fine hardware wise.
[03:10] <ubuntu431> Ok, I hope this work
[03:10] <dctrdonpc> Jordan_U: any good books or guides you know for someone new to linux ?
[03:10] <Jordan_U> !manual | dctrdonpc
[03:10] <arrow_> ls
[03:10] <arrow_> hola arrow_
[03:10] <ubuntu431> thanks
[03:11] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: You're welcome.
[03:11] <jberg_> also, how can i make a live usb disk but with all my music and other important stuff, is there an app that makes it?
[03:11] <Bashing-om> dctrdonpc: Nother one I like: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Trusty .
[03:11] <jberg_> i want to make a live usb of my current system, not  a out of the box ubuntu for showing people
[03:12] <ubuntu431> When uTorrent download is queued by long this is there are not seeders?
[03:12] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[03:13] <ubuntu431> I will try direct download
[03:14] <Jordan_U> ubuntu431: There are always tons of seeders for the Ubuntu torrents (they're not "uTorrent downloads" as there are many more torrent clients than just uTorrent). If the Ubuntu torrents aren't screemingly fast for you, you can be pretty sure that the problem is on your end.
[03:15] <ubuntu431> Yes, right, I have 2 torrents with Queued two days ago
[03:19] <nicomachus> hi guys, I'm having trouble opening the Catalyst Control Center on 14.04. I'm trying to adjust scaling for my AMD GPU
[03:26] <nicomachus> anyone around?
[03:27] <Ozzie_0001> Hi.
[03:28] <Ozzie_0001> Can somebody help me: I want to see this flash player streams in vlc, but i cannot find the streams source. The url's are: http://www.rtve.es/directo/canal-24h/  http://noticieros.televisa.com/foro-tv/  http://tv.milenio.com/   Thank you.
[03:30] <[Ex0r]> hmm, I got the bootstrap 3 theme thinking it was going to be easy to work with to create the template I want
[03:30] <[Ex0r]> boy was I wrong
[03:30] <boot_killer> it can be fussy
[03:30] <Steven-> lol
[03:31] <[Ex0r]> is there like a barebones one that is somewhat easy to edit to do what you want it to do ? The design I have is fairly basic, and bootstrap is making it very complicated.
[03:31] <boot_killer> i dont know Exor
[03:32] <boot_killer> hello everyone
[03:33] <nicomachus> hello. Anyone running an AMD GPU?
[03:34] <boot_killer> getting tired..
[03:34] <boot_killer> think im gonna head out of here soon
[03:34] <somsip> [Ex0r]: are you talking about Bootstrap for web development
[03:35] <boot_killer> who me.. ? no i m just lookin for a place to talk and be active
[03:36] <somsip> !ot | boot_killer
[03:36] <boot_killer> well is kali considered unbuntu right
[03:36] <boot_killer> then u can help me after all
[03:36] <somsip> boot_killer: wrong.
[03:36] <somsip> !flavours | boot_killer (everything else is not supported here)
[03:37] <boot_killer> oh ok
[03:37] <boot_killer> thanks somsip
[03:37] <boot_killer> il move on
[03:37] <somsip> !kali | boot_killer (not sure if this works)
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> I use mint
[03:37] <nicomachus> Is there an AMD support channel anywhere?
[03:37] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, here, provisionally
[03:38] <xangua> ! Ask | nicomachus
[03:38] <Seven_Six_Two> that was a question xange
[03:38] <Seven_Six_Two> *xangua
[03:38] <nicomachus> 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] <somsip> nicomachus: ask a question that relates to ubuntu and AMD. If you just want AMD support, type !alis and search
[03:39] <WHAT_UP> are there any good easyvmx alternatives? the original seems down
[03:39] <nicomachus> I'm trying to figure out how to adjust scaling in 14.04 with my AMD GPU.
[03:39] <nicomachus> That's the question I asked originally.
[03:39] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, even if someone doesn't use it, they might know about it
[03:39] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, have you installed amdcccle?
[03:40] <nicomachus> I installed fglrx-amdcccle
[03:40] <nicomachus> same?
[03:40] <somsip> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, can you run the amdcccle gui?
[03:41] <nicomachus> what's the command to run it?
[03:41] <nicomachus> nothing I have tried has worked so far.
[03:41] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, amdcccle
[03:41] <WHAT_UP> Well I'm trying to install ubuntu on a virtual machine inside ubuntu, so kind of.  That site is trash.
[03:41] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: Command not found.
[03:42] <EriC^> nicomachus: type fglrx<press tab couple times>
[03:42] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, sorry, I'm not using ubuntu right now. What EriC^ said
[03:42] <nicomachus> press tab? that didn't do anything.
[03:42] <somsip> WHAT_UP: we can't do anything about websites being trash. What is the problem with ubuntu you're having?
[03:42] <EriC^> nicomachus: did you press it a couple times?
[03:43] <nicomachus> repeatedly, yes EriC^
[03:43] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, are you in a full screen terminal? gui?
[03:43] <nicomachus> windowed terminal.
[03:43] <EriC^> nicomachus: open the dash and type amd
[03:44] <nicomachus> Eric^: the only applications that come up are "Passwords and Keys" and "Character Map:
[03:44] <nicomachus> " not :
[03:44] <EriC^> nicomachus: type apt-cache policy fglrx-amdcccle
[03:44] <EriC^> does it say it's installed?
[03:45] <nicomachus> Yes.
[03:45] <WHAT_UP> my problem is that unity and #ubuntu blow
[03:45] <EriC^> nicomachus: ok, type dpkg -L fglrx-amdcccle | grep /bin
[03:45] <nicomachus> someone just kick WHAT_UP already.
[03:46] <nicomachus> EriC^: 4 results, need them all?
[03:46] <EriC^> anything that stands out?
[03:46] <TimothyP> 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] <EriC^> nicomachus: just remembered, open the dash and type catalyst
[03:46] <nicomachus> ha, already tried that.
[03:46] <EriC^> nicomachus: odd i remember it used to show in the dash somehow
[03:47] <EriC^> nicomachus: what are the bin's you got earlier?
[03:47] <nicomachus> I feel like I'm missing something really stupid.
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> EriC^, what was the output? the 4 commands?
[03:47] <daftykins> TimothyP: are you talking about PPPoE authentication with a cable modem?
[03:47] <nicomachus> bins were: /bin, /bin/amdupdaterandrconfig, /bin/amdcccle, and /bin/amdxdg-su
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, EriC^'s message was for you
[03:47] <TimothyP> daftykins, yes !
[03:48] <Jordan_U> TimothyP: Is there a reason you're not using a router, and having the router handle PPPoE?
[03:48] <EriC^> nicomachus: amdcccle should work then
[03:48] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, ok, in that terminal, type   /bin/amdcccle
[03:48] <TimothyP> wel the linux box is the router
[03:48] <TimothyP> :)
[03:48] <TimothyP> that's the idea
[03:48] <TimothyP> so everything works, all computers in the network are connected it is just painfully slow
[03:48] <nicomachus> GAHHHHHHHH. No such file or directory. WTF.
[03:48] <EriC^> nicomachus: type sudo apt-get install --reinstall fglrx-amdcccle
[03:49] <EriC^>  
[03:49] <nicomachus> good idea.
[03:49] <TimothyP> when connecting a router (as in a real router it works fast, but we can't trust the routers we buy here)
[03:49] <Seven_Six_Two> TimothyP, do you get the same results switching only the computer, or do the other computers have their own network cables?
[03:49] <TimothyP> sorry I was trying to simplify the situation
[03:49] <TimothyP> [DSL MODEM] -> [UBUNTU] -> [SWITCh] -> [COMPUTERS]
[03:50] <TimothyP> now if we put a computer where the ubuntu would be in this setup
[03:50] <TimothyP> then the connection for that computer is extremely fast
[03:50] <TimothyP> so then I checked
[03:50] <Seven_Six_Two> TimothyP, are you using all cat6?
[03:50] <TimothyP> ethtool p5p1 says 10Mbps
[03:50] <TimothyP> yep
[03:50] <Jordan_U> TimothyP: How are you configuring the PPPoE?
[03:50] <TimothyP> while eth0 (to which the dsl is connected) is 1000Mbps
[03:50] <daftykins> TimothyP: so what is said router running? desktop?
[03:51] <nicomachus> EriC^: reinstall finished. still says no such file or directory when I try navigating to /bin/amdcccle
[03:51] <nicomachus> I wonder if this HDD is corrupting some bits...
[03:51] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, navigate to? are you doing   cd /bin/amdcccle
[03:51] <TimothyP> the router is ubuntu server
[03:51] <TimothyP> the desktop we connect instead of the router to test is windows
[03:52] <TimothyP> I have a configuration file in /etc/ppp/peers
[03:52] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: poor word choice.
[03:52] <Jordan_U> TimothyP: Please pastebin this file.
[03:52] <nicomachus> not navigating. I wasn't using cd. that doesn't work either, though.
[03:52] <TimothyP> ok
[03:52] <TimothyP> hang on
[03:52] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, ok. do you get anything from      ls -l | grep ccc
[03:53] <nicomachus> no response whatsoever.
[03:53] <TimothyP> (need to find a pastebin that isn't blocked )
[03:54] <Jordan_U> TimothyP: http://sprunge.us/ ?
[03:54] <daftykins> TimothyP: where are you in the world? what do they do to routers?
[03:54] <nicomachus> TimothyP: Are you in Guangdong or using a proxy?
[03:55] <nicomachus> daftykins: China, looks like.
[03:55] <TimothyP> I'm in shenzhen but I can't turn on the VPN now as I'm working on the network
[03:55] <TimothyP> daftykins they backdoor the routers
[03:55] <TimothyP> :p
[03:55] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <daftykins> nicomachus: yeah i got told off for assuming once ;D
[03:57] <TimothyP> ok on pastebin now, connected a vm to the vpn
[03:57] <TimothyP> http://pastebin.com/MUTt8A9s
[03:57] <TimothyP> this is the interfaces file
[03:57] <TimothyP> going to post the other one as well
[03:58] <TimothyP> http://pastebin.com/6sYH5nN1 this is the peers file (with fake login)
[03:59] <NegativeFlare> !enter | TimothyP
[03:59] <NegativeFlare> come on ubottu
[03:59] <TimothyP> ?
[03:59] <somsip> NegativeFlare: it's been deleted
[03:59] <NegativeFlare> somsip: oh.. well alright
[04:00] <somsip> !ping
[04:00] <somsip> it lives
[04:00] <Seven_Six_Two> !flim
[04:00] <TimothyP> this is so weird, ethtool p5p1 somtimes reports 10Mbps, sometimes it reports 100Mbps seems to be jumping
[04:01] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: pastebin in just a sec.
[04:01] <nicomachus> pastebin.com/aY6Li6V6
[04:01] <TimothyP> http://pastebin.com/RZrNKuKR  ethtool output
[04:02] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, what's the output of     lspci -v
[04:03] <Jordan_U> TimothyP: Anything interesting looking in dmesg?
[04:04] <TimothyP> let me check
[04:04] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two just the GPU part or the whole thing...?
[04:04] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, whole thing
[04:06] <nicomachus> pastebin.com/aQZmx59A
[04:09] <TimothyP> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <nicomachus> shoulda just gotten on hexchat on the PC I'm actually working on, damn... lol
[04:12] <nicomachus> pastebin.com/jwhJfD7F
[04:13] <TimothyP> Would this help when the connection starts:  mii-tool p5p1 -F 100baseTx-FD
[04:15] <snow_ru> hi
[04:15] <snow_ru> I tried to install openssh-server but couldn't
[04:15] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: what are you looking for in those?
[04:15] <snow_ru> I'm on ubuntu 14.04
[04:16] <muffman> any idea how to fix this? "Could not load list of meta packages: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory"
[04:16] <snow_ru> sudo  apt-get  install openssh-server
[04:16] <muffman> happens right when i SSH in
[04:16] <snow_ru> following packages have unmet dependencies:
[04:16] <snow_ru>  openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu1)
[04:16] <snow_ru>                   Recommends: ssh-import-id but it is not going to be installed
[04:16] <snow_ru> no tricks work :(
[04:18] <somsip> muffman: have a read of this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1367373/python-subprocess-popen-oserror-errno-12-cannot-allocate-memory
[04:18] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> o /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdcccle
[04:19] <somsip> muffman: it suggest something is running on login, and that thing has a memory problem
[04:19] <Seven_Six_Two> snow_ru, what output do you get from sudo apt-get install ssh-import-id
[04:20] <muffman> somsip: i have no idea what most of that even means
[04:20] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, if you do     ls -l /usr/bin    notice the entries with  something -> /etc/alternatives/something
[04:20] <snow_ru> i think i figured it out :)
[04:20] <snow_ru> thanks
[04:21] <somsip> 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] <muffman> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <ame> please ping me if you know about chroot
[04:22] <somsip> muffman: well, [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory is a Python error message
[04:22] <somsip> !pm | ame
[04:23] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: when I ran sudo /usr/lib/fglrx/bin/amdcccle I got an "initialization error". Says:
[04:23] <muffman> oh ok somsip , thanks
[04:23] <somsip> muffman: are you on a VPS? http://www.vps.me/forum/os-templates/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-distro
[04:24] <ame> I am using LTSP here and want to know why any of my clients cannot detect any device other than pendrive??
[04:24] <nicomachus> "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] <muffman> i am somsip and am upgraded to 14.1 as we speak :_)
[04:25] <somsip> muffman: so it's possibly a VPS support issue...
[04:25] <nicomachus> please don't tell me I just had the wrong driver installed this whole time.
[04:25] <muffman> oh ok thanks somsip
[04:25] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <nicomachus> do you want to see which ones I have currently or find new ones?
[04:27] <Seven_Six_Two> list what's available, and what's enabled
[04:28] <nicomachus> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> yes
[04:30] <nicomachus> Ok. I don't feel like typing it all, so here's a screenshot:
[04:30] <nicomachus> imgur.com/Ar5sdW4
[04:30] <nicomachus> no, sorry.
[04:30] <nicomachus> This link, Seven_Six_Two: imgur.com/ArSsdW4
[04:32] <nima> hi
[04:34] <Pillory> So.. I'm having a really weird problem
[04:35] <nicomachus> oh, Pillory, aren't we all....
[04:36] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <Pillory> Haha
[04:37] <Pillory> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, and the output to    lsmod
[04:38] <daftykins> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> Pillory, can you pastebin output.txt from this please:     mount && df
[04:40] <Pillory> 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] <daftykins> the data is really that small that a flash drive could carry it? 0o
[04:41] <Pillory> No, it's 178gb
[04:41] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: the reinstall: pastebin.com/UzzvSPU7
[04:42] <nicomachus> and lsmod: pastebin.com/swn09baf
[04:42] <daftykins> Pillory: do all package install attempts within the live session fail?
[04:42] <Pillory> Yes
[04:43] <daftykins> what version is the live session of?
[04:44] <Pillory> 14.10
[04:44] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, sudo dpkg-query -L fglrx-amdcccle && ls -l /usr/bin | grep ccc
[04:46] <daftykins> Pillory: DVD or flash drive - that it's running from?
[04:46] <Pillory> DVD, we have no flash drives to work with
[04:46] <daftykins> oy vey
[04:46] <daftykins> was the burn verified?
[04:46] <Pillory> It was
[04:47] <daftykins> hmm could be a wonky drive, quick "dmesg | tail" to see if it's screaming about sr0 could be worth a glance
[04:47] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <Pillory> 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] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: pastebin.com/EEQCwCUJ
[04:50] <daftykins> yeah i just couldn't handle trying optical media now
[04:50] <daftykins> as it is i'm screaming as i wait for programs to open over an RDP session right now XD
[04:50] <Pillory> Alright thanks for the hand, just gonna have to get her to buy a USB I guess!
[04:50] <PSGroup97> If I use the command, ksh, does it call the profile.ksh?
[04:51] <daftykins> 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] <PSGroup97> If I use the command, ksh -l, does it call the profile.ksh? What does -l do?
[04:51] <daftykins> PSGroup97: is your hobby messing with other shells?
[04:51] <Pillory> 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] <daftykins> lmao
[04:52] <daftykins> oh dear.
[04:53] <Pillory> 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] <Pillory> It's a complicated scenario, but not you guys' problem haha
[04:53] <Pillory> Thanks though, later :)
[04:53] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, one last try before switching drivers,..   sudo aticonfig
[04:53] <daftykins> the OS will not save that ;_;
[04:55] <nicomachus> are you sure that still works, Seven_Six_Two? AMD doesn't use ATI anymore
[04:56] <daftykins> plus you shouldn't need to mess with xorg.conf generation
[04:56] <nicomachus> Or, at least, they don't call the driver the ATI Catalyst anymore. It's just AMD Catalyst now.
[04:56] <Seven_Six_Two> driver reinstall it is...not sure what else to do. I know the issue, but don't know the fix
[04:56] <nicomachus> so go back to the open source driver?
[04:57] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> nicomachus, and if not that, then yes the opensource one
[04:58] <divBy0> how do you change mouse wheel functionality
[04:58] <divBy0> right now when i click the middle wheel it closes my current tab and then duplicates another open one instead
[04:58] <divBy0> and the wheel isn't scrolling
[04:59] <backbox> yo guys
[05:00] <nicomachus> divBy0: System Settings --> Mouse & Touchpad
[05:01] <nicomachus> Seven_Six_Two: what are the chances that there's a reason the other proprietary option is called fglrx-UPDATES
[05:02] <divBy0> nicomachus: there's nothing in there about mouse wheel or middle click
[05:03] <nicomachus> 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] <Seven_Six_Two> nico definitely possible. given the number of cards, and different setups, it's possible
[05:03] <nicomachus> knew I should have gotten the nvidia at micro center today...
[05:04] <divBy0> the wheel works for zooming in and out but not scrolling
[05:04] <divBy0> or in terminal
[05:04] <daftykins> nicomachus Seven_Six_Two - what's this situation? fglrx not kicking in at boot?
[05:05] <nicomachus> daftykins: I don't even know anymore.
[05:05] <toothy> nicomachus: pay the man for hardware.. But el-cheapo software
[05:05] <Seven_Six_Two> daftykins, can't run amdcccle to modify video settings
[05:05] <daftykins> is the driver in use correctly?
[05:05] <nicomachus> I just want the 2mm of screen that my TV is stealing from me...
[05:05] <Seven_Six_Two> daftykins, it looks right in lsmod, driver installer says it's in use.
[05:05] <daftykins> so set the TV to 1:1 - it's probably overscan
[05:06] <daftykins> Seven_Six_Two: confirmed via Xorg.0.log ?
[05:06] <Seven_Six_Two> daftykins, no
[05:06] <nicomachus> daftykins: TV is not the issue.
[05:06] <daftykins> then why did you mention a potential overscan issue? :)
[05:06] <vncarrack> 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] <divBy0> how can you get info on a package through terminal before installig it
[05:07] <daftykins> divBy0: apt-cache showpkg <package>
[05:07] <daftykins> or apt-cache policy <package>
[05:07] <Seven_Six_Two> daftykins, nicomachus I need to step away for a few minutes
[05:07] <divBy0> daftykins: thanks
[05:07] <nicomachus> no problem, Seven_Six_Two, you've been a huge help and I need a cigareete.
[05:07] <nicomachus> cigarette*
[05:08] <nicomachus> thank you.
[05:08] <vncarrack> i've just done apt-get install linux-generic. hope that doesnt break it
[05:08] <Seven_Six_Two> no problem. if nothing else, hopefully you learned something.
[05:09] <nicomachus> I'm always learning something when it comes to this. That's why I asked what you were looking for, etc.
[05:10] <nicomachus> ~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] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <daftykins> Seven_Six_Two: you make it sound like a drug ;)
[05:15] <dingus1> 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] <daftykins> that seems to be more of a statement than a support question?
[05:20] <nicomachus> oh wtf. Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[05:20] <boris> hello
[05:20] <nicomachus> and a lot of other errors.
[05:21] <dingus1> Yes, it works I do not need any support. ty
[05:21] <nicomachus> lol dingus1
[05:25] <nicomachus> guys... imgur.com/CDNimzK
[05:26] <nicomachus> got that on boot ^
[05:26] <Seven_Six_Two> ooh harddrive problem? is it making noise?
[05:26] <nicomachus> on startup.
[05:27] <nicomachus> I'd be more than happy to replace it. it's only 75gb
[05:27] <nicomachus> Western Digital.
[05:27] <Seven_Six_Two> oh sorry. that was after the new driver install
[05:27] <Seven_Six_Two> ?
[05:28] <nicomachus> yes, but it's done that before. even before replacing the GPU today. I usually just restart it and it works fine.
[05:28] <Seven_Six_Two> what did you have before?
[05:28] <nicomachus> GeForce 8400 gs
[05:29] <nicomachus> i bought this PC at a thrift store for $20
[05:29] <Seven_Six_Two> lol. did you do a reinstall, or just swap the card?
[05:29] <nicomachus> just swapped the card.
[05:30] <Seven_Six_Two> 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] <nicomachus> meh, doesn't bother me any. there's nothing on this PC to worry about.
[05:33] <nicomachus> The DVD burner on my laptop is just kinda shitty, I get errors probably 1 out of 3 times.
[05:33] <nicomachus> And this BIOS doesn't boot from USB for some stupid reason.
[05:34] <PSGroup37> If I use the command, ksh -l, does it call the file profile.ksh? What does -l do?
[05:37] <nicomachus> PSGroup37: the command ksh will bring up a shell called KornShell
[05:38] <daftykins> i don't know if that guy is a bot or what, i replied to that query earlier and clearly got ignored
[05:38] <daftykins> very odd running all sorts of scripts under different shells if you ask me 0o
[05:39] <squinty> 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] <PSGroup37> I am not a bot. I am here to learn. Thank you for any advice.
[05:42] <PSGroup37> I was disconnected.
[05:43] <tjay> hello
[05:43] <tjay> what to do with this
[05:43] <tjay> http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL
[05:43] <tjay> http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL
[05:44] <PSGroup37> 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] <PSGroup37> nicomachus: does the command, ksh, also execute what is in the profile.ksh?
[05:47] <nicomachus> I don't believe so..
[05:48] <sfasdfsdfas> looking for a 3d visualization library for only productive stuff or analysis etc. Any suggestions ? what do people use in academy
[05:49] <sfasdfsdfas> matlab ?
[05:49] <idislikegrub> hey
[05:49] <sfasdfsdfas> hi
[05:50] <idislikegrub> Anybody want to help me with a grub problem?
[05:50] <nicomachus> 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] <sfasdfsdfas> I think grub is just fine
[05:50] <idislikegrub> It detects all of my partitions as unknown filesystems.
[05:50] <sfasdfsdfas> cant see why everyones dramatizing it
[05:50] <daftykins> nicomachus: good luck! and cya
[05:50] <idislikegrub> In a dual boot with windows 8 and ubuntu 14.04
[05:50] <sfasdfsdfas> clearly your systems are unknown
[05:51] <idislikegrub> Do you know why that would be, or how to fix it?
[05:51] <sfasdfsdfas> what system are you using
[05:51] <tjay> please help with this.
[05:51] <tjay> http://pastebin.com/AzzHBNPL
[05:51] <daftykins> hopefully ubuntu since we're in an ubuntu support channel
[05:51] <PSGroup37> nicomachus: how does profile.ksh get called?
[05:51] <idislikegrub> as in the build?
[05:52] <sfasdfsdfas> yes
[05:52] <idislikegrub> AMD fx-8350 w/ 1TB HD r9 270x
[05:52] <daftykins> PSGroup37: i replied to you earlier and you ignored it. when you run "ksh file.sh" you're executing file.sh with the shell 'ksh' . why are you always messing with different shells? :P
[05:53] <daftykins> !find tcl
[05:54] <sfasdfsdfas> thats odd... Cant see how it could be software related without further clues like startup log
[05:54] <idislikegrub> Does anybody know how to get out of grub rescue?
[05:54] <sfasdfsdfas> you cant
[05:54] <idislikegrub> so what, reformat&reinstall?
[05:55] <idislikegrub> there has to be a way to recover. It was literally working perfectly fine the last time i used it (yesterday)
[05:55] <daftykins> sfasdfsdfas: stop making stupid comments if you don't know how to help people, please.
[05:55] <sfasdfsdfas> wow thats too rude
[05:55] <sfasdfsdfas> Im volunteering and trying here
[05:56] <sfasdfsdfas> and I get flamed by an intelligent man
[05:56] <idislikegrub> @sfasdfsdfas youre fine
[05:56] <idislikegrub> But seriously, no way to recover?
[05:56] <daftykins> sfasdfsdfas: just cut the timewasting is all. only reply to that which you can help with.
[05:56] <sfasdfsdfas> ok
[06:05] <sm_> Hey I just installed Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on my desktop and I would like to know more about getting the most out of the Linux operating system.
[06:05] <sm_> so am I allowed to get help?
[06:05] <daftykins> not much to say, just use it
[06:06] <daftykins> well this is a support channel for problems really, you're asking a rather broad thing
[06:06] <sm_> Should I just sign out then?
[06:07] <daftykins> well can you be more specific about your question? :)
[06:08] <sm_> How do I get to know the console better? I already know commands like 'apropos' 'man' and 'help'
[06:08] <sm_> I'
[06:08] <PSGroup37> daftykins: I was disconnected and I was unable to see your reply. My apology! If I just type the command, ksh, does it execute the contains in the project.ksh? Thanks!
[06:08] <daftykins> PSGroup37: no
[06:08] <daftykins> it would run the ksh shell
[06:08] <daftykins> just as running "bash" runs a bash shell
[06:09] <daftykins> sm_: setting yourself a task to do with Linux server administration is good for that, there's a free introduction to Linux course on www.edx.org that can help you get the basics
[06:09] <daftykins> (including some great command line use)
[06:09] <sm_> Okay
[06:10] <sm_> thanks
[06:10] <PSGroup37> daftykins: what about the command, ksh -l, does it execute the contains in the project.ksh? Thanks!
[06:10] <daftykins> PSGroup37: dunno. why do you keep doing all these things with scripts and other shells? :)
[06:54] <kaushal> Hi
[06:55] <aswin> Hi
[06:55] <kaushal> is there a way to findout who has changed the file contents and what contents has been changed? For example who edited httpd.conf file?
[06:55] <Ben64> kaushal: hopefully only root can edit that
[06:55] <kaushal> meaning timestamp, user and contents of the file
[06:55] <aswin> I had installed Sql developer on my Ubuntu14.04
[06:55] <kaushal> I mean any monitoring tool like inotify for example?
[06:56] <aswin> but when I click the icon it keeps on loading and does'nt open
[06:56] <kaushal> which will keep track of this modification
[06:56] <aswin> can anybody help me with this?
[06:56] <hateball> kaushal: I dont know if you could acheive something like a versioning filesystem using ZFS
[06:56] <kaushal> hateball: ok
[06:56] <kaushal> I am more interested in finding out the modified contents
[06:57] <hateball> kaushal: well without backups/versioning that's not going to happen
[06:57] <kaushal> for example "Listen 80" in httpd.conf has been changed to "Listen 1090"
[06:57] <kaushal> hateball: ok
[06:57] <kaushal> hateball: Are you referring to git?
[06:58] <kaushal> hateball: but i want to make sure the end user who has changed the contents should not be aware of
[06:58] <kaushal> something like tripwire or OSSEC
[06:58] <kaushal> which will alert the sys admin that a file has been modified
[06:59] <daftykins> if someone is breaking things why do they have access O_O
[06:59] <Ben64> don't give random people root
[06:59] <kaushal> daftykins: agree
[06:59] <kaushal> basically i am interested in detection
[07:04] <vijai_> hi anyone around ?
[07:04] <aswin> Hi can anybody help me with my sqldeveloper application , which is not opening on my desktop?
[07:05] <gvijai> sqldeveloper ?
[07:05] <aswin> oracle sqldeveloper application
[07:06] <aswin> I had downloaded the application from oracle and installed it
[07:06] <gvijai> ok.
[07:06] <retroispresto> How do I completely uninstall GDM and use LightDM instead, without uninstalling unity?
[07:06] <aswin> but could not open the application
[07:06] <Ben64> aswin: get support from oracle
[07:06] <aswin> could anybody help me with this?
[07:06] <aswin> okay
[07:06] <aswin> thanks!
[07:07] <gvijai> aswin, what's the error you are getting when you start the apps
[07:07] <gvijai> what's the error when you run ./sqldeveloper.sh ?
[07:08] <retroispresto> Wait, nvm
[07:09] <gvijai> retroispresto, http://itsfoss.com/switch-gdm-and-lightdm-in-ubuntu-14-04/
[07:10] <aswin> gvijay I will run and let u know
[07:10] <gvijai> aswin, ok.
[07:12] <aswin> In my /usr/local/bin  I have sqldeveloper,   but when I run the command ./sqldeveloper.sh          , it says no such file or directory
[07:12] <aswin> gvijay
[07:13] <Ben64> aswin: ./ is the directory you are in, if you aren't in /usr/local/bin that isn't the correct command
[07:13] <pipi-> aswin: well, are you in the dir /usr/local/bin?
[07:14] <aswin> yes pipi
[07:14] <pipi-> aswin: and the file is called sqldeveloper.sh? not just sqldeveloper?
[07:14] <pipi-> have you tried doing a 'ls' to make sure its actually there?
[07:15] <aswin> yeah it there I can see it ,
[07:15] <pipi-> aswin: also have you tried chmod +x sqldeveloper.sh?
[07:15] <aswin> the file name is sqldeveloper, not sqldeveloper.sh
[07:16] <Ben64> you're the one who said it was .sh
[07:16] <pipi-> try ./sqldeveloper then
[07:17] <aswin> yeah tried ./sqldeveloper , but says no such file or directory
[07:17] <gvijai> can you type and paste the output for "pwd"
[07:18] <aswin> /usr/local/bin
[07:18] <gvijai> ls -ld sqldeveloper*
[07:18] <gvijai> please provide output for that command
[07:18] <aswin> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Feb  6 00:14 sqldeveloper -> /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
[07:19] <gvijai> ls -lath /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
[07:19] <aswin> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71 Sep 15 06:47 /opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh
[07:20] <gvijai> now run in terminal like "/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh" as user without quote
[07:21] <RobertRoland> Hello, I'm wondering if there is any way to root my HTC Desire 500 using Ubuntu 14.10 or installing Ubuntu on my phone? I've been searching for a good guide for this but unfortunately I didn't find anything solid..
[07:22] <Ben64> RobertRoland: #android for android support, although i'm not sure if they do root stuff there, #ubuntu-touch can let you know if there is an image for that phone
[07:22] <RobertRoland> Thank you Ben64
[07:22] <frankpal> is there a program to recover forgetten Ubuntu Admin passwords?
[07:22] <aswin> Thanks! gvijay , I got it .Is there any way ,I could get an application shortcut on my desktop
[07:23] <Ben64> frankpal: recover? probably not. you can change passwords though
[07:23] <gvijai> aswin, just right click and create short cut and provide full path.
[07:23] <gvijai> aswin, but depends on your window manager
[07:25] <aswin> ok gvijay, but I can use the same command line that you had given me to open the sqldeveloper right?
[07:25] <frankpal> Ben64, even if the grub is locked ?
[07:25] <frankpal> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/
[07:26] <gvijai> anyone can through some light on this

[08:29] <somsip> White_Cat: please report in #ubuntu-ops if it becomes a nuisance.
[08:30] <gvijai> Ben64, http://pastebin.com/pcbNiLPk
[08:30] <gvijai> can someone help me to find a solution for this issue http://pastebin.com/pcbNiLPk
[08:32] <ikonia> gvijai: it looks like you have missing packages and dependency conflicts
[08:32] <hellyeah> hey
[08:32] <hellyeah> sup
[08:32] <hellyeah> is there a sofware in ubuntu for drawing logo?
[08:33] <cfhowlett> hellyeah, easiest: inskape, I think.  then gimp.   then blender for super complicated logo engineering
[08:33] <Ben64> hellyeah: inkscape, gimp, imagemagick, libreoffice draw, tuxpaint, probably more
[08:33] <cfhowlett> *inkscape*
[08:34] <gvijai> well, this issue is on udev startup .
[08:35] <ikonia> gvijai: as you can see many conflicts and missing packages (probably due to the conflicts) looks like x86 and x86_64 being mixed too
[08:35] <ikonia> gvijai: work through the missing/failing dependencies then re-asses
[08:36] <gvijai> ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10087918/
[08:36] <cfhowlett> hellyeah, you can grab the full meal deal with this:   sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-graphics
[08:36] <ikonia> gvijai: yeah, as I said "missing dependencies and conflicts"
[08:36] <ikonia> showing me more of it won't change my opinion
[08:37] <gvijai> ikonia,  let me check
[08:50] <bojan> how to make chroot to connect the devices from actual root?/
[08:50] <ikonia> you need to bind mount udev
[08:50] <ikonia> but it's not something you should really need to do
[08:51] <ikonia> you'll find problems
[08:56] <llllol122> aw
[09:13] <AlexC_> G'morning
[09:13] <AlexC_> Upon inserting a USB stick, all I get in /var/log/syslog is repeated "usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 44 using ehci-pci" where the '44' increments every second up to about 120, then back to 1
[09:14] <AlexC_> It never shows as a device, looks like it's struggling to detect it?
[09:19] <jamie_> avaida: ping
[09:21] <yoda> curious other then a.out, .o , elf executables ,.so, or .ko files are there any other file extensions that uses the elf format that i am not aware of or missing this is more for a general unix/linux based os question anybody know of a module or shared library or object file , or executable i am missing meant for a linux/unix system
[09:21] <jamie_> yoda what exactly are you trying to do
[09:21] <yoda> i am considering the coff and variants to be part of the a.out suite
[09:22] <Ben64> your question is very confusing
[09:23] <jamie_> .deb
[09:25] <yoda> i am trying to analysis all the elf based files with binutils and only can think of a.out,elf executables, .o files, .so ,.ko files that binutils can view.... and was curious if anybody new of any i am missing for unix/linux systems i know for mac and windows that is a whole other story macho,pe ,...eyc
[09:25] <yoda> etc
[09:25] <yoda> can anybody think of any extensions for unix or linux based os's i am forgetting
[09:26] <yoda> that are elf based
[09:26] <Ben64> file extensions aren't really used
[09:26] <Ben64> use "file" to find what you want
[09:27] <yoda> i know but normally other then a runnable elf file they have distinct file extensions to stand for something i know it doesn't have to be but normally it is .o , .ko,.so,...etc
[09:28] <Ben64> use "file" to find them all
[09:29] <yoda> that would be if i knew all the common extensions used for elf based files which i don't i only know of the ones i said
[09:29] <Ben64> ....use file
[09:30] <yoda> .o for elf files used for static linking , .so for shared libraries/dynamic loading/linking, .ko for kernel modules other then that i don't know of any and was wondering if anybody new of any file extensions
[09:30] <Ben64> dude. use the program "file" to find them all
[09:31] <yoda> that i am missing that elf could uses or a common extension it could uses that i am forgetting
[09:31] <Ben64> file will show you what is an elf file
[09:32] <yoda> thanks
[09:32] <Ben64> i only said it 5 times...
[09:42] <yoda> file with grep, locate or find works well for elf

[10:00] <m1dnight_> guys, is there a way to tell what my laptop does hwen I suspend it?  I have lidclose action set to suspend
[10:00] <m1dnight_> but when i manually suspend everything works
[10:00] <m1dnight_> when i close my lid it gives me the black screen stuff
[10:00] <m1dnight_> so there must be a difference between closing the lid and manually suspending
[10:01] <amm> hello
[10:02] <amm> anyone online ? :D
[10:02] <ame_> I am trying to install gtkterm in chroot but its not installing...Any suggestion??
[10:02] <killall_> ame_:  what does log say?
[10:02] <amm> i have following problem
[10:02] <amm> The following packages have unmet dependencies:  libqt4-sql-mysql: Depends: libqt4-sql (= 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4) but 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.8 is installed                   Depends: libqtcore4 (= 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4) but 4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4.8 is installed
[10:02] <amm> anyone can help me solve it ?
[10:03] <killall_> install libqtcore4 :)
[10:03] <killall_> are you on apt-get? or  aptitude?
[10:03] <amm> apt get
[10:04] <amm> Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
[10:04] <ame_> killall:http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089020/
[10:04] <amm> when i type this to terminal nothing happens
[10:04] <Ben64> do you have third party repositories
[10:04] <oussama> can i find graphical user interface for gcc
[10:05] <Ben64> oussama: gcc is not difficult
[10:05] <amm> I don t know I think i don t have any third party repositorities
[10:05] <amm> where can I check that ?
[10:05] <Ben64> amm: pastebin the output of the following command.... "lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-mysql libqtcore4"
[10:08] <divBy0> when backing up the home directory what standard hidden folders should be backed up? I have a ton and I feel like I might be wasting space
[10:08] <oussama> good morning  can i find graphical user interface for gcc
[10:08] <ikonia> no
[10:08] <amm> lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-mysql libqtcore4
[10:08] <ikonia> it's a compiler
[10:08] <amm> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS Release:	12.04 Codename:	precise apt-chase: command not found vaga@tehna:~$ lsb_release -a; apt-cache policy libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-mysql libqtcore4
[10:08] <ikonia> there are IDE's which will allow you to manage the code project - but the compiler is just that, a compiler
[10:08] <Ben64> oussama: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? if you can't figure out how to use gcc with the command line, which is pretty easy, perhaps you shouldn't be compiling
[10:09] <Ben64> amm: pastebin. not here

[10:13] <i-am-1057> anyone knows how to stop screen flickering in ubuntu 14.04 ??
[10:14] <hateball> i-am-1057: What sort of hardware are you using? Laptop/Desktop? What GPU chipset?
[10:14] <amm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089143/
[10:14] <amm> i have formated my computer for 4 times
[10:14] <amm> since this morning because of this
[10:15] <i-am-1057> hateball: HP compaq presario cq60 laptop, Nvidia 8200M G
[10:15] <Ben64> amm: sounds unlikely, unless you keep repeating some weird thing to cause this problem
[10:15] <amm> i have an little software wich handles an truck scale via this computer and I can not connect the mysql base with it
[10:15] <Ben64> amm: and you need "sudo" before that command, sorry
[10:15] <Pricey> amm: You should use sudo or run the command as root.
[10:15] <amm> i managed to connect it yesterday but I do not know how
[10:15] <Pricey> amm: Often the error message contains useful information ;-)
[10:15] <oussama> the probleme i'm new in programing so i want to make a easy programe like  printf hello so i need i c grafic comilateur to find mmy mistac

[10:16] <hateball> i-am-1057: are you using the proprietary driver or nouveau ?
[10:16] <jatt> oussama: use eclipse
[10:16] <Ben64> Runner: probably not on topic here
[10:16] <amm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089189/
[10:18] <oussama> ok thank you jatt i will try eclipse
[10:19] <i-am-1057> i guess it's nouveau now since i've reinstalled ubuntu. yesterday i was trying with proprietary as well
[10:19] <zetheroo1> dmesg shows this when I plug in a USB stick "usb-storage 3-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected" - Does this mean it's being used as a USB1.0 device?
[10:19] <i-am-1057> hateball: i guess it's nouveau now since i've reinstalled ubuntu. yesterday i was trying with proprietary as well
[10:20] <amm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089222/
[10:21] <hateball> i-am-1057: It's hard to know what flickering means. Maybe it is setting the wrong hz for your display?
[10:21] <hateball> i-am-1057: How did you install the proprietary driver, using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Installation ?
[10:22] <Pricey> amm: try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[10:22] <amm> tried
[10:22] <amm> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10089222/
[10:22] <Pricey> amm: oh wait no... why are you specifying --only-upgrade ?
[10:23] <amm> what should i specify
[10:23] <i-am-1057> hateball: it's not constant.. It waits for a while and when i'm opening firefox or system settings it starts and goes 'till it freezes.
[10:23] <Ben64> Pricey: trying to upgrade the one package that isn't the right version
[10:23] <amm> I think that this package
[10:23] <Ben64> apt doesn't want to because the old one isn't configured, which it can't do because its not the right version
[10:23] <amm> prevents me from comunicating with my sql base
[10:23] <amm> correctly
[10:24] <Ben64> whatever you did to get your versions out of sync is messing you up
[10:24] <amm> i only installed ubuntu
[10:24] <hateball> i-am-1057: is this a new issue, or has the machine behaved properly before? It's kind of hard to say if it's an hardware or software issue over IRC :)
[10:24] <amm> and installed all updates
[10:24] <amm> i did that 4 times in row
[10:24] <Ben64> amm: not likely
[10:25] <amm> and I finaly decided to contact some experts :D
[10:25] <amm> i mean i formted my computer 4 times so fresh install
[10:25] <Ben64> apt wouldn't get to that state by itself
[10:25] <amm> install updates
[10:25] <amm> i installed my sql base
[10:25] <amm> can that be a problem ?
[10:25] <Pricey> amm: How were you "installing updates?
[10:25] <amm> update center
[10:25] <amm> I am new with linux and Ubuntu so
[10:26] <amm> I may have some mistakes in process
[10:26] <amm> if you know what I should do please tell me
[10:26] <amm> :)
[10:26] <n19931018_> hello
[10:26] <amm> but, my steps were following : instal ubuntu (format C)
[10:27] <amm> instal updates via update center
[10:27] <n19931018_> ???
[10:27] <amm> than install mysql base
[10:27] <Ben64> how did you do that
[10:27] <n19931018_> oo
[10:27] <i-am-1057> hateball: i've had installed it via Settings-->Software&Updates-->Additional Drivers. And yes machine was OK all the time with win7 and i've decided to try ubuntu, but i came with this issue
[10:27] <n19931018_> wo , you are all goods
[10:28] <amm> ben 64
[10:28] <amm> what install mysql base
[10:28] <amm> ?
[10:28] <eldonkr> So I just noticed today that the time and date are missing from my menu bar, I click on the battery icon and click "Show time in menu bar" and it still won't show up.
[10:28] <i-am-1057> hateball: i'm again at that "Additional Drivers" window.. should I try to install some specific version?
[10:29] <hateball> i-am-1057: Right, so then it is most likely a software issue. nvidia-current should be good
[10:30] <amm> what should I do now
[10:30] <amm> format C again
[10:30] <zetheroo1> dmesg shows this when I plug in a USB stick "usb-storage 3-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected" - Does this mean it's being used as a USB1.0 device?
[10:30] <amm> and install fresh version of ubuntu ?
[10:30] <hateball> i-am-1057: a google suggests this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2243912, see edit 2
[10:31] <i-am-1057> hateball: sry i don't understand that 'nvidia-current'.. i see some choices like NVIDIA binary driver, NVIDIA legacy binary driver and different versions of them
[10:31] <eldonkr> I even went to System Settings and clicked on Time and Date and everything under the clock tab is greyed out. What should I do?
[10:31] <Runner> 5m ur At who like this game ? Is a shit game this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAAdKE84Ts

[10:32] <Ben64> amm: if you want
[10:32] <amm> and try from begining ?
[10:33] <i-am-1057> hateball: thanks anyway for trying to help me.. i'll try to play around though
[10:33] <eldonkr> I should be getting to bed soon, any ideas hateball?
[10:33] <n19931018_> what time
[10:33] <amm> i would like to solve this problem my friend I am runing in circles for 2 days as I said I am new with ubuntu
[10:33] <amm> so any sugestion is nice
[10:34] <amm> suggestion*
[10:34] <amcsi_work> Many linux commands are very non-straightforward. I can never mount an ISO on my own without looking it up online, nor am I able to create a RAMDisk on my own. Is there a linux project that simplifies a lot of commands?
[10:35] <Ben64> amcsi_work: not really, you just have to learn
[10:36] <eldonkr> 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] <hellyeah> amcsi_work:
[10:36] <amcsi_work> 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] <hellyeah> i suppose it will be automatically mounted.
[10:37] <amcsi_work> let's not compare anything with the windows terminal
[10:37] <Ben64> amcsi_work: they are pretty simple already, you just don't know them yet
[10:37] <eldonkr> My clock doesn't show up in my menu bar
[10:37] <hellyeah> is there a sofware in ubuntu for drawing logo?
[10:37] <amcsi_work> 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] <eldonkr> hellyeah, try gimp?
[10:38] <hellyeah> windows rterminal was good when ms-dos was there
[10:38] <hellyeah> gimp is enough do you think hmm
[10:38] <eldonkr> hellyeah, I never really used it much, but I've had friends do some pretty awesome stuff with it.
[10:38] <Ben64> 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] <eldonkr> So, can anyone help me on this clock thing?
[10:39] <kokut> 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] <eldonkr> kokut, try apt-get remove?
[10:40] <kokut> didnt work
[10:40] <eldonkr> kokut, how did you get it on there in the first place?
[10:40] <kokut> its not even there
[10:40] <i-am-1057> hateball: info_update  :) it seems it stopped.. difference was that i didn't installed proprietary drivers and did workarounds on nouveau
[10:40] <kokut> i downloaded the Bin from google and installed it
[10:41] <Ben64> kokut: then ask google, or see if theres any documentation for it
[10:41] <kokut> but man its not supported by linux
[10:41] <eldonkr> kokut, maybe it just runs from the bin?
[10:41] <kokut> nope
[10:41] <amcsi_work> Ben64, ok, but I want to be able to run only one command for any image type
[10:41] <Ben64> kokut: ok? its not supported here either
[10:42] <kokut> it copied a bunch of files and added a desktop shortcut
[10:42] <Ben64> amcsi_work: find out the filesystem, not hard dude
[10:42] <pehlert> 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] <eldonkr> kokut, do you know where it sent the files to?
[10:42] <kokut> nope it was a couple of days ago
[10:42] <kokut> i could run the isntaller again tho
[10:43] <eldonkr> kokut, maybe the installer has an uninstall option?
[10:43] <kokut> its a bin
[10:43] <eldonkr> 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] <kokut> 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] <Ben64> 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] <kokut> no ben
[10:44] <kokut> not true
[10:45] <kokut> thanks for your help anyways
[10:45] <Ben64> very true. its the reason why we only support official ubuntu packages here
[10:46] <eldonkr> Anybody got any ideas on this clock thing?
[10:48] <brucelee> anyone here use apt-cacher-ng
[10:50] <eldonkr> 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] <ryanmm> hi all
[10:52] <ryanmm> can I ask some issue
[10:52] <eldonkr> go for it
[10:53] <ryanmm> arr
[10:53] <eldonkr> Que?
[10:53] <ryanmm> no que
[10:53] <eldonkr> ryanmm, are you a pirate?
[10:53] <ryanmm> nope
[10:53] <eldonkr> ryanmm, then I don't understand....
[10:54] <ryanmm> I m just start using xubuntu
[10:54] <eldonkr> ryanmm, ok.
[10:54] <ryanmm> this is my first time IRC join
[10:54] <eldonkr> ryanmm, yeah.
[10:54] <le_> hello
[10:54] <ryanmm> so do I need que?
[10:55] <eldonkr> ryanmm, I don't understand what you're asking. What is it you need help with?
[10:55] <Ben64> ryanmm: you need to ask a question, otherwise you don't get an answer
[10:55] <somsip> !ask | ryanmm
[10:55] <ryanmm> OK thank
[10:55] <ryanmm> my desktop screen is pushing up my top panel  when I pointer reach to bottom
[10:56] <benbro> is there something like fedora's mingw32-cairo in ubuntu? https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/mingw32-cairo
[10:56] <eldonkr> benbro, is cairo like a dock?
[10:56] <ryanmm> like scrolling down a bit
[10:57] <benbro> eldonkr: graphics library http://cairographics.org/download/
[10:58] <somsip> !pm | ryanmm
[10:59] <eldonkr> benbro, so 3D modeling?
[10:59] <eldonkr> ryanmm, whats your issue?
[10:59] <eldonkr> Anybody want to take a stab in the dark as to why my clock isn't showing up?
[11:00] <ryanmm> eldonkr, screen is pushing up a bit if pointer reach bottom
[11:00] <eldonkr> ryanmm, like your menubar just disappears?
[11:00] <ryanmm> eldonkr, my top panel move up
[11:01] <ryanmm> yes
[11:01] <benbro> eldonkr: you can read about it in the link
[11:01] <eldonkr> ryanmm, like the screen is scrolling, or like autohide?
[11:01] <ryanmm> no
[11:01] <ryanmm> eldonkr, no. not autohide
[11:01] <wadie> 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] <ryanmm> eldonkr, I aldy unchecked autohide
[11:02] <eldonkr> benbro, check the software center
[11:03] <eldonkr> ryanmm, have you tried changing your screen resolution? your desktop could be bigger than what your display can render.
[11:03] <ryanmm> eldonkr, xrender?
[11:03] <eldonkr> 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] <ryanmm> eldonkr, just vertically. not horizontally
[11:05] <eldonkr> ryanmm, try kicking your resolution down a notch and see if that helps.
[11:05] <wadie> can anyone help ?
[11:06] <eldonkr> wadie, I can try
[11:06] <wadie> after keeping my pc up for a couple of days,I can no longer surf the web unless I reboot
[11:06] <wadie> there is connectivity though since I'm able to talk to you now :)
[11:06] <eldonkr> 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] <ryanmm> eldonkr, OK, thank. I'll google it.
[11:07] <eldonkr> ryanmm, try playing with your display properties under system settings.
[11:07] <Junka> is unity closed source/
[11:08] <eldonkr> 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] <EllieGoulding> unity and firefox are very much proprietary
[11:08] <wadie> it was idle
[11:08] <EllieGoulding> :P
[11:09] <eldonkr> wadie, your connection to your router probably timed out or something, are there a lot of people who use the network?
[11:09] <wadie> maybe a couple but not at night
[11:09] <wadie> what can I do about that other than rebooting the pc ?
[11:09] <wadie> a command probably..
[11:10] <eldonkr> 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] <In-Runner> eb Is true that Bill Gates is gay ?
[11:10] <wadie> on a regular basis probably two phones and even those not always
[11:11] <eldonkr> !shenannigans | in-runner
[11:11] <ryanmm> eldonkr, I found the issue. My actual screensize is 1280x800 but display resolution is 1280x768
[11:11] <eldonkr> !spam | In-Runner
[11:11] <eldonkr> ryanmm, I figured that was the issue. Glad I could help.
[11:12] <ryanmm> eldonkr, Thank mate
[11:13] <eldonkr> 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] <eldonkr> 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] <eldonkr> 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] <eldonkr> So, is there anybody at all who can help with my clock problem?
[11:17] <wadie> Thank you eldonkr
[11:18] <eldonkr> 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] <eldonkr> 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] <eldonkr> 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.

[11:21] <In-Runner> Is just a question no spam
[11:21] <linuxthefish> why the hell does ubuntu show lines on boot?
[11:21] <In-Runner> eldonkr
[11:22] <linuxthefish> can't edit boot lines even
[11:22] <swassttik> hello
[11:22] <eldonkr> linuxthefish, could you be more specific?
[11:22] <eldonkr> In-Runner quit screwing around.
[11:22] <linuxthefish> oh wait it booted lol
[11:22] <ryanmm> eldonkr, I can't find out displays.xml in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
[11:22] <eldonkr> ryanmm, what?
[11:23] <linuxthefish> why does network work on livecd and not on the installed version?
[11:23] <ryanmm> so should I create new one?
[11:23] <eldonkr> ryanmm, what is it supposed to be for?
[11:23] <ryanmm> eldonkr, I google to change resolution
[11:23] <eldonkr> ryanmm, you should just be able to do that using....... hang on a sec
[11:24] <eldonkr> ryanmm, go to System Settings > Displays, you can change the resolution there.
[11:25] <eldonkr> linuxthefish, I really don't know. I mean, I get why, I just don't know how to explain it.
[11:25] <ryanmm> no
[11:25] <eldonkr> ryanmm, what version are you using?
[11:25] <ryanmm> eldonkr, no I can't. There is no 1280x800 resolution in list
[11:25] <ryanmm> xubuntu 14.04
[11:26] <eldonkr> ryanmm, choose the closest one.
[11:26] <linuxthefish> urgh ubuntu 14.10 is so buggy
[11:26] <linuxthefish> should not be released
[11:26] <ryanmm> eldonkr, I in using 1280x768
[11:27] <eldonkr> linuxthefish, whats the issue?
[11:27] <ryanmm> eldonkr, that's why screen is moving up
[11:27] <eldonkr> ryanmm, try going one lower than that.
[11:27] <azi`_> so it seems that firefox blocks flash pages due to an outdated flash plugin
[11:27] <azi`_> is there any offical way to update that on ubuntu?
[11:27] <azi`_> because ff redirects me to adobe
[11:28] <dabu6> .
[11:28] <eldonkr> azi`_ switch to chrome
[11:28] <linuxthefish> eldonkr: Ethernet works in the live cd on my laptop, but after it has been installed ethernet and wireless are not working
[11:28] <dabu6> 有人懂中文?
[11:28] <eldonkr> !drivers | linuxthefish
[11:28] <DJones> !cn | dabu6
[11:28] <azi`_> eldonkr: really is that it?
[11:29] <dabu6> thx @ubottu
[11:29] <eldonkr> azi`_ the easiest solution I can think of, I'm about to go to bed.
[11:29] <eldonkr> chrome has built in flash. or you can google how to update your flash for ubuntu
[11:30] <eldonkr> linuxthefish, you're missing a driver, I can't remember off-hand how to fix that, I got lucky and wasn't missing anything on my install, try googling for how to get the drivers you're missing.
[11:30] <eldonkr> linuxthefish, there's a thing for drivers under system settings somewhere, that should tell you which one/s you might need.
[11:31] <eldonkr> sorry I can't be of more help I just can't keep my eyes open anymore, I stayed up WAY too late

[11:50] <vlt> Hello. On my Ubuntu I have a problem with chromium. It's the only program where I can't input some characters (like umlauts, most AltGr chars or numbers from the num block). Firefox, editors, office, even terminal work just fine. Any idea what to check first here?
[11:56] <layke> Hey, If I run lsblk and I see... xvdb  202:16   0  40G  0 disk /mnt would I be expected to use that mounted device directly at /mnt??
[11:59] <PapaSierra> i'm trying to set up NAT such that my app servers on a private network go through the "main"/"front facing" server to access the internet. i'm trying to find some info on the general concepts at play here. most of the how-to's i find are for routers, or they have tons of detail but neglect to make it clear which part is the set up for the private app servers, and which part is the set up for the main gateway server
[12:03] <neosiu> hello guys! I have a question about flash on ubuntu.
[12:03] <hateball> !ask | neosiu
[12:04] <neosiu> My firefox browser detects that a newer version of flash but can not be upgrade in firefox addons.
[12:04] <neosiu> ok i gei it
[12:04] <nessessary129> !help
[12:05] <neosiu> !patience
[12:05] <layke> Can someone please explain /mnt  is some magic location right? That's where I should be mounting my devices to? So like /mnt/SOMETHING
[12:06] <ikonia> layke: you can use /mnt for what you want
[12:06] <HGtronic> Hello ppl
[12:06] <layke> Just curious because on a server, I seem to have some devices mounted at /mnt rather than /mnt/SOMETHING
[12:06] <hateball> !flash | neosiu
[12:06] <layke> (It's an AWS Ec2 instance.. so just confused if that it all normal)
[12:06] <HGtronic> can some one explain me to to require global a packeg
[12:06] <layke> ikonia, Okay. Thank you.
[12:07] <hateball> neosiu: Sometimes it may be needed to uninstall the package flashplugin-installer and install it again to fetch the latest version
[12:07] <HGtronic> i need to put laravel homested in composer bin directory
[12:08] <neosiu> hateball: thanks !
[12:09] <neosiu> hateball: is your flash version 11.2.202.440 or 442?

[12:26] <neosiu> hello; where is opera browser's directory?
[12:27] <neosiu> :D
[12:27] <hateball> neosiu: What sort of directory are you talking about?
[12:28] <neosiu> hateball: i mean where and copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/opera/plugins. A user without root access can copy the the plug-in to $HOME/.local/lib/opera/plugins.
[12:29] <neosiu> hateball: i can't find my opera folder
[12:29] <hateball> neosiu: find ~/ |grep -i opera

[12:30] <ulrichard_> back in the gnome2 days when I plugged in my USB headphones, they were recognized as preferred output immediately. With unity I always have to go into the settings to select it. Is there any way to get the old behavior back?
[12:31] <neosiu> hateball: thanks again!
[12:31] <hateball> neosiu: :)

[12:37] <martk200> I am trying to install kodi or xbmc on ubuntu armhf. I am in dependency hell. How do I enter a repo into sources .list to find the packages?
[12:37] <MrElendig> ulrichard_: just "load-module module-switch-on-connect" is often enough
[12:37] <MrElendig> ulrichard_: it won't move existing streams though
[12:37] <MrElendig> but you can script that
[12:40] <poli> How can I trigger an action after a ecryptfs mount of my home directory?
[12:41] <usr0> Does anyone know any alternative to Cobian Backup for Linux?
[12:42] <poli> usr0: any particular features of you that you need? or just a regular backup software?
[12:43] <usr0> Well... Saving encrypted archives to the network share and sending reports on e-mail would suite me
[12:43] <some> Hello :)
[12:43] <ulrichard_> MrElendig: looks promising, but I get : >>>Module load failed.

[13:09] <ikonia> any bad commands you will be removed
[13:10] <k1l> so the school should be banned now
[13:10] <neosiu> hateball: it may be a little silly, but how can i  delete a file using terminal?
[13:10] <theadmin> neosiu: rm FILENAME
[13:12] <neosiu> theadmin: i mistakenlly copy my /downloads /pictures ... files to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
[13:13] <neosiu> theadmin: and i use rm usr or rm/usr it doesn't work
[13:13] <theadmin> Woah, don't do that
[13:14] <cfhowlett> neosiu, do NOT remove the /usr directory!!!!
[13:14] <theadmin> You shouldn't remove the entire /usr folder that's crazy
[13:14] <theadmin> It will totally break everything
[13:14] <neosiu> i want to remove the files i copied to /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/
[13:14] <cfhowlett> neosiu, go INTO the /usr and remove the individual files.  DO NOT delete the directory
[13:14] <theadmin> neosiu: cd /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
[13:14] <theadmin> neosiu: Then rm the files you want
[13:15] <neosiu> i have done that
[13:15] <neosiu> but it does not work
[13:15] <theadmin> neosiu: What command are you using excactly
[13:17] <neosiu> theadmin: 1st I cd into /usr/lib..../plugins and bai@bai-VPCEH38EC:/usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins rm usr
[13:17] <cfhowlett> neosiu, WRONG!!!
[13:17] <theadmin> neosiu: That's not what you want to do though. You want to remove individual files, not "usr"
[13:17] <cfhowlett> neosiu, rm FILENAMEHERE
[13:17] <theadmin> neosiu: For example, you have a file called my_cat.jpg
[13:17] <theadmin> neosiu: Then you rm my_cat.jpg
[13:18] <cfhowlett> neosiu, how many files did you copy to that directory?
[13:18] <usr0> I usually do rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/*
[13:19] <neosiu> cfhowlett: theadmin: copied all my personal files into /plugins
[13:19] <theadmin> neosiu: Eh, just kebab the whole plugins dir like usr0 says
[13:20] <theadmin> neosiu: Then reinstall your FF plugins, way easier
[13:20] <theadmin> Err.
[13:20] <theadmin> Remove the plugins dir, not kebab...
[13:21] <cfhowlett> theadmin, so .... kebab is only a tasty meat snack, not a command?  :)
[13:21] <theadmin> cfhowlett: Yeah.
[13:21] <neosiu> wait a second
[13:21] <neosiu> i try again
[13:22] <neosiu> theadmin: how can i remove a file folder?
[13:22] <theadmin> neosiu: rm -r
[13:22] <hateball> neosiu: rmdir
[13:23] <frankpal> why don't aptitude delete all the dependencies when you do autoclean or autoremove like apt-get does ?
[13:24] <neosiu> theadmin: hateball: cfhowlett: i use rm -r and it works!
[13:24] <cfhowlett> neosiu, happy2help
[13:24] <neosiu> thank you fellas!
[13:26] <hateball> neosiu: well, technically rmdir removes directories. rm -r removes everything recursively
[13:27] <neosiu> hateball: oh i used rmdir and it says the directory is not empty bla bla bla
[13:27] <hateball> neosiu: yes
[13:27] <luite> when i adjust the "scale for menu and title bars
[13:27] <luite> oops
[13:28] <hateball> neosiu: because rmdir only removes directories :)
[13:28] <neosiu> hateball: you mean empty folders?
[13:28] <hateball> neosiu: yes
[13:29] <neosiu> hateball: oh! interesting commands!
[13:29] <luite> when i adjust the "scale for menu and title bars" to 2.0 everything gets bigger and text stays sharp, but the desktop background gets blurry. is there a way to get bigger gui elements without a blurry wallpaper?
[13:30] <hateball> neosiu: it's quite useful if you write a script that should only remove empty folders for instance, no need to wrap logic around rm that way
[13:32] <Peps|> jo
[13:32] <neosiu> hateball: maybe it's a little hard for me though, i am a .....half? or totally beginner on Ubuntu
[13:32] <neosiu> hateball: :D
[13:33] <hateball> neosiu: well it's all good as long as you learn what commands actually do, and don't just copy paste them :)
[13:34] <MyHatIsClean> hello
[13:35] <neosiu> hateball: yes, and it;s along long way for me on Ubuntu :)
[13:35] <MyHatIsClean> can you give me a pointer to a memory viewer/searcher/editor that can analyse the memory contents of a program in real time? thanks alot in advance
[13:35] <EriC^^> MyHatIsClean: gdb?
[13:36] <MyHatIsClean> gdb can do that? O.o
[13:36] <EriC^^> you can change stuff on the fly with it
[13:37] <MyHatIsClean> i would like to view memory contents with a gui
[13:37] <MyHatIsClean> and maybe even a scrollbar :D
[13:38] <MyHatIsClean> is there anything like that or should i learn gdb?
[13:38] <ikonia> memory contents ?
[13:38] <MyHatIsClean> yes
[13:38] <ikonia> what do you mean ?
[13:38] <MyHatIsClean> the ram a programm has allocated
[13:39] <ikonia> how are you expecting to "read" that ?
[13:39] <marianne> Hello, can anyone please verify for me if the netflix works around for Chrome is still functioning
[13:39] <ikonia> netflix isn't supported on linux
[13:39] <barnex> Hello, can I have a probably not ubuntu specific question about networking that I have no better idea where to ask?
[13:39] <MyHatIsClean> well it shows the ascii characters if possible and the hexdecimal representation
[13:40] <ikonia> barnex: ##networking
[13:40] <MyHatIsClean> like okteta
[13:40] <barnex> ikonia: thanks
[13:40] <ikonia> MyHatIsClean: how do you actually expect to read this ?
[13:40] <MyHatIsClean> yes
[13:40] <ikonia> the answer to "how" is not "yes"
[13:41] <MyHatIsClean> when you can search for things you can see what happens to it in real time
[13:41] <ikonia> you can't do that
[13:41] <MyHatIsClean> that would interest me
[13:41] <MyHatIsClean> oh
[13:41] <MyHatIsClean> what a pity
[13:42] <EriC^^> MyHatIsClean: learn gdb, it's pretty useful i guess
[13:42] <MyHatIsClean> yes i need to learn it sooner or later anyways
[13:42] <MyHatIsClean> i just thought there might already be something nice out there :) thanks
[13:45] <EriC^^> MyHatIsClean: there might be, who knows
[13:45] <sheer> >spent $40 at dominos. >full after ~$4 worth of eating.
[13:45] <ikonia> sheer: not something this channel is interestd in
[13:45] <MyHatIsClean> i guess i will try apt-get install *

[13:51] <JosefDe> Hi guys. I need a statistics where you can see how many percent of which administration frameworks are used. But I can't find one. Can you help me?
[13:51] <ikonia> stats on which adminstration framework ?
[13:51] <ikonia> what's an administration framework  ?
[13:52] <JosefDe> ikonia: Doesn't matter. I only want to show how many guys use administration frameworks like Puppet and how many do administration script-based
[13:52] <ddos> FUCK ALL
[13:52] <teward> JosefDe: so you mean a framework that handles mass management of systems
[13:52] <teward> like puppet or Landscape or such
[13:52] <ikonia> JosefDe: how many guys out of what ? this channel ? in the world ? on ubuntu ?
[13:52] <ikonia> JosefDe: you're not really going to get that sort of information
[13:52] <JosefDe> :(
[13:54] <sheer> can anyone please recommend a game for me that i can easily quickly just run
[13:55] <k1l_> !games
[13:56] <sheer> any particular one you can recommend?
[13:56] <dreamcat4> JosefDe: it sounds like to are writing a CS undergraduate academic paper
[13:57] <dreamcat4> JosefDe: but one easy statistic you can get is join the various IRC channels, e.g. #chef, #puppet etc and it will tell you the number of users logged into that channel
[14:00] <keevitaja> hi, can anyone recommend a clean&and light complete theme for thunderbird? is there any development going on at all? all the themes i can find on web are like from the last century.
[14:01] <k1l_> keevitaja: well, i think that you better ask the thunderbird community about that
[14:03] <Blinkiz> Hello. Am about to buy two web cameras so I can chat with my coworkers at work while away. I want it to work under Ubuntu with Google hangout and WebRTC. 1080p at ~30fps is good but more important are latency and picture quality. Both sites will have minimum 100 Mbit internet connection. What should I buy?
[14:15] <jwmto> Good morning.  Looking for help getting my Asus-Zenbook to recognize my touchpad is a touchpad.  Ubuntu 14.10.  Any advice appreciated.
[14:16] <jwmto> NB.  it worked until quite recently
[14:17] <jwmto> If I'm looking in the wrong forum, that would also be helpful to know.
[14:17] <tngo90> Hello
[14:17] <tngo90> I need help
[14:18] <tngo90> hi
[14:18] <Blinkiz> jwmto, Just to make sure, you have tried pressing fn+F9 key?
[14:18] <tngo90> How to programming in C++
[14:18] <jwmto> Blinkiz.  yes definitely.  infact the icon shows the touchpad toggled, but there is no effect on the actual touchpad
[14:18] <bazhang> ask in the C++ channel tngo90
[14:19] <Blinkiz> jwmto, Well, I have no clue what the problem is. Running 14.04 and my asus zenbook touchpad works
[14:20] <jwmto> it's very odd.  the touchpad works but I can't turn it off so it makes typing very difficult.  The "mouse and touchpad" settings don't even recognize that there is a touchpad.
[14:21] <jwmto> i'll be rebooting now, but if anyone has thoughts, I'll be back
[14:26] <killall> Hello
[14:26] <killall> i have a udev rule to make a link of the devicename and it does create it but does not work
[14:30] <jwmto> back again.  looking for help with the touchpad on an Asus zenbook running 14.10.  Touchpad not recognized as touchpad rather than as mouse and therefore can't be turned off.  Typing is thus difficult.
[14:30] <SadlyMistaken> Hello, i am installing right now an usb-video-capture device, the firmware is installed too, but i can't see device listed in mplayer
[14:30] <SadlyMistaken> could someone help me, please?
[14:31] <MrElendig> dmesg
[14:31] <SadlyMistaken> MrElendig>> are you asking to jwmto or to me?
[14:31] <MrElendig> also more info needed, like what the device actually is and so on
[14:32] <MrElendig> SadlyMistaken: you
[14:32] <Acheloos> hello
[14:32] <SadlyMistaken> here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10092547/
[14:32] <SadlyMistaken> hello Acheloos
[14:33] <Acheloos> when i install ubuntu or xubuntu, i have the folloowing error : "trying to overwrite '/etc/init/starpar-bridge.conf', which is also in package sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-58."
[14:34] <Acheloos> I can only validate, and the installation exit but it doesn't work
[14:36] <SadlyMistaken> MrElendig??
[14:39] <k1l_> Acheloos: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[14:39] <Acheloos> 14.04
[14:40] <Acheloos> and xubuntu 14.04 k1l_
[14:40] <k1l_> Acheloos: which one exactly? what is the iso file named?
[14:41] <Glorfindel1> I started up my pc this morning and the DE didn't start
[14:41] <Glorfindel1> it's just a black screen
[14:41] <Glorfindel1> how do I fix it?
[14:42] <k1l_> Acheloos: i cant find any original ubuntu package with that versionnumber. so you might have something not original ubuntu'ish there
[14:42] <Acheloos> downloaded today on the official ubuntu website....
[14:43] <k1l_> Acheloos: please name the exact iso you used
[14:44] <k1l_> then make a md5sum on it.
[14:44] <k1l_> or is it about a running system and you mean an apt-get install?
[14:45] <Acheloos> k1l_: both ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64  and  xubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64
[14:46] <k1l_> !md5sum | Acheloos
[14:46] <Acheloos> can't do a md5 on it, i'm on windows :'(
[14:46] <EriC^^> Acheloos: there's a md5sum checker for windows too
[14:46] <bazhang> Acheloos, sure you can
[14:46] <EriC^^> it's in the link
[14:46] <bazhang> read the link yet Acheloos ?
[14:47] <Acheloos> on it
[14:47] <Acheloos> but same error on to different ISOs, weird.
[14:48] <k1l_> Acheloos: are you sure you are on ubuntu there? i only find debian bugreports for that specific sysvinit version number
[14:48] <bosnjak> hi all
[14:48] <bosnjak> what is this process at the top: http://pastebin.com/ckmfGjad
[14:49] <Acheloos> k1l_: it was a debian before
[14:49] <Acheloos> but i want to format and install ubuntu instead
[14:50] <Acheloos> and I asked to format so normally it's ok
[14:50] <k1l_> Acheloos: aha, so it seems like you did not erase the disk there
[14:50] <Acheloos> why ?
[14:50] <Acheloos> i explicitly asked to format
[14:50] <k1l_> because its still asking for old debian versions
[14:50] <Glorfindel1> anyone?
[14:51] <Acheloos> yeah, I see
[14:51] <Acheloos> i'll try to run cfdisk before
[14:51] <mnrc> clear
[14:51] <k1l_> Acheloos: seems like it didnt make new partitions and formated the old but just mounted the old
[14:52] <tasse_> is there a 3rd party repository for texlive?
[14:52] <Acheloos> k1l_: any idea why ?
[14:52] <k1l_> Acheloos: i dont know what you did click there in the installer :/
[14:53] <Acheloos> I checked the case to format the partitions...
[14:53] <Acheloos> Sure, and i have tried a few times
[14:53] <k1l_> Acheloos: you need to check it for every partition
[14:54] <Acheloos> k1l_: for / and /home ?
[14:54] <Acheloos> It's what i have done
[14:54] <k1l_> tasse_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=texlive
[14:54] <Acheloos> (i have numerous partitions)
[14:54] <k1l_> Acheloos: yes, but as you can see there must have gone something wrong
[14:54] <Acheloos> yeah
[14:55] <tasse_> thank you k1l_
[14:55] <Acheloos> thanks a lot, i'll try that
[14:55] <Acheloos> i have to go
[14:59] <MikeJahel> does anyone know a network traffic monitor that can write the statistics into a file?
[15:01] <lucidguy> NFSD issue:  I can figure out which filesystem is being hit, nfstat indicates 65% access, but I wan't to know who or what is causing it... grr
[15:01] <Guest94916> :P
[15:03] <santana> i'm bored
[15:03] <SadlyMistaken> santana then help me
[15:03] <MrElendig> MikeJahel: wireshark (might not be suitable for 24/7 operation though)
[15:04] <MrElendig> depends on just what statistics you are after too
[15:04] <MikeJahel> commandline based?
[15:04] <santana> what is it?
[15:04] <MrElendig> if you just want the bw usage, then 10 lines of python is all you need
[15:07] <gentunian> Hi, I can't find ubuntu server 12.04.02 in any mirror. Is there any official page to download it?
[15:08] <PaowZ_> hi there ! Trying to install 14.10 but installer can't see /dev/sdb for some reasons..
[15:08] <PaowZ_> any clue ??
[15:08] <bazhang> http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969  what about here gentunian
[15:10] <gentunian> bazhang, thanks for the link but it seems not. 12.04, 12.04.4 and 12.04.5
[15:11] <lonecx> how can I search the apt repo for a certain package?
[15:11] <bazhang> apt-cache search package
[15:11] <gentunian> I needed for a replica backup of a storage: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64
[15:12] <lonecx> bazhang; will that work
[15:13] <DigitalZen> lonecx, try it
[15:13] <bazhang> Version 3.16.0.30.31 <--- is utopic gentunian
[15:14] <bazhang> how'd you get that version gentunian
[15:14] <lonecx> DigitalZen; it fuckin' destroyed my system
[15:15] <bazhang> no cursing here lonecx
[15:15] <gentunian> bazhang, I don't know, It's on a storage server that I need to create a replica backup. It was here prior me.
[15:15] <bazhang> gentunian, contact them then, thats not a supported set up
[15:16] <lonecx> bazhang; why not, we're all mature
[15:16] <lonecx> bazhang; unlike yo daddy
[15:16] <bazhang> lonecx, its not welcome here
[15:16] <gentunian> 12.04.2 LTS isn't long term support?
[15:16] <lonecx> bazhang; welcome yo sista
[15:16] <DigitalZen> wow
[15:16] <bazhang> gentunian, thats a custom set up
[15:16] <gentunian> bazhang, oh, ok.
[15:17] <gentunian> (don't feed the troll :)
[15:17] <bazhang> not what ubuntu offers gentunian
[15:17] <bazhang> he's gone
[15:17] <gentunian> oh I missed that
[15:17] <gentunian> :)
[15:17] <gentunian> bazhang, thanks anyway
[15:17] <snizzo> anyone having 970m/980m here?
[15:18] <DigitalZen> ok cool thanks gentunian
[15:18] <bazhang> snizzo, is that a gpu
[15:18] <DigitalZen> :)
[15:18] <snizzo> bazhang: yeah, stopped working with new drivers. from 343 to 346
[15:18] <ppf> snizzo: i've got a 970 (desktop)
[15:18] <snizzo> ppf: which version are you using?
[15:19] <ppf> 343
[15:19] <gentunian> DigitalZen, did I miss something? sry if I did
[15:20] <snizzo> ppf: which ppas you use?
[15:20] <Pici> gentunian: 12.04.2's iso can be found here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/ Be noted, that it has been superceded by 12.04.5 by this point.
[15:20] <ppf> snizzo: i installed them manually
[15:21] <snizzo> ah ok
[15:21] <ppf> precisely for that reason
[15:21] <ppf> :)
[15:21] <snizzo> what you would suggest? purge from repos and install by .run?
[15:21] <ppf> it's never a good idea to blindly update nvidia drivers
[15:21] <gentunian> Pici, thanks!
[15:21] <DigitalZen> was talking about the troll earlier
[15:21] <DigitalZen> gentunian,
[15:21] <gentunian> oh, ok.
[15:22] <gentunian> :)
[15:22] <ppf> i'm not sure what to suggest
[15:22] <snizzo> ah ok
[15:22] <ppf> were you using xorg-edgers?
[15:22] <snizzo> ppf: yeah
[15:22] <snizzo> on 14.10
[15:23] <ppf> i usually install the drivers manually, because updates are very often broken
[15:23] <ppf> but that has it's own drawbacks
[15:23] <ppf> for instance, sometimes registering with dkms doesn't work properly, so a kernel update leaves you blind
[15:23] <snizzo> aah
[15:24] <ppf> that, however, has worked for me on 343 so far
[15:24] <snizzo> there isn't a way of using old xorg edgers packages?
[15:24] <ppf> well, there is, as always pinning works
[15:27] <danili> Hi people, I sit here with a computer I have booted with a Ubuntu live usb, the usb flash drive is mounted as /media/cdrom. Now there is a real cd/dvd drive in the machine, and I can see it in the boot menu but I can't mount it from the live version of Ubuntu Running from the flash usb drive
[15:27] <killall> i have a udev rule to make a link of the devicename and it does create it but does not work
[15:31] <EriC^^> danili: type sudo parted -l
[15:33] <EriC^^> danili: or lsblk
[15:35] <jack_> hi
[15:41] <vikas> kde plasma 5 not installing
[15:41] <vikas> help me
[15:42] <bazhang> vikas, install from where
[15:42] <vikas> terminal command
[15:42] <bazhang> what is the exact package name vikas
[15:43] <vikas> wait 1 sec
[15:43] <bazhang> what is the exact terminal command you are using vikas
[15:43] <magicjohnson> where is 14.04.2?
[15:44] <ikonia> I don't think it's released yet
[15:44] <magicjohnson> ok, thanks
[15:45] <vikas> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next
[15:45] <vikas> sudo apt update
[15:45] <vikas> sudo apt install kubuntu-plasma5-desktop
[15:45] <vikas> sudo apt full-upgrade
[15:45] <vikas> it says
[15:45] <vikas> E: Unable to locate package kubuntu-plasma5-desktop
[15:45] <ikonia> none of them are valid commands
[15:45] <vikas> ok
[15:46] <vikas> then waht to do
[15:46] <ikonia> I'd suggest using the package manager gui
[15:46] <ikonia> if you're not comfortable with the command line
[15:46] <cfhowlett> vikas, because there IS no "kubuntu-plasma" package.  check your names
[15:46] <vikas> you mean ubuntu software centre
[15:46] <ikonia> thats a valid gui
[15:47] <vikas> and if you could plz give the correct command line
[15:48] <ikonia> vikas: you'd find it easier to use the gui
[15:48] <ikonia> search for the packages you need
[15:48] <vikas> ok
[15:48] <vikas> thanks
[15:49] <vikas> and while installing ubuntu my partition deleted and now its showing one big drive
[15:49] <vikas> all my stuff lost
[15:49] <jon1012> someone knows if there is a normal ubuntu image for raspberry 2 ?
[15:50] <jon1012> the ubuntu core with snappy lacks all useful software
[15:50] <ikonia> jon1012: not at the moment
[15:50] <ikonia> jon1012: the Pi-2 could be an option
[15:50] <jon1012> ok
[15:51] <jon1012> ikonia, I tried ubuntu core, but it's not useable at all, except trying to recompile every software myself that is
[15:51] <ikonia> why are you telling me that
[15:52] <jon1012> ikonia, because you told me that could be an option, so maybe you had more info on that
[15:52] <ikonia> I told you the PI-2 could be an option as it upgrades the arm arch tto a compatible version
[15:52] <ikonia> thaht has nothing to do with you compiling your own software
[15:52] <jon1012> ok
[15:53] <jon1012> ikonia, oh, yeah, what I meant by that is that the ubuntu core available uses snappy as a package manager and it has very few packages available
[15:53] <ikonia> jon1012: so why are you telling me ?
[15:53] <ikonia> what has thaht got to do with me suggesting upgrading to a PI-2
[15:56] <jon1012> ikonia, I have a PI 2
[15:57] <jon1012> ikonia, but I didn't find an image for it
[15:57] <ikonia> the community ARM version
[15:57] <ikonia> !!arm | jon1012
[15:57] <NET||abuse> hmm, weird, i tried writting message but it didn't appear
[15:57] <jon1012> ikonia, thank you, I'll try to get more info there
[15:57] <NET||abuse> ahh, now all is working.
[15:59] <NET||abuse> 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] <compdoc> NET||abuse, zfs is a good choice
[15:59] <NET||abuse> but is it possible to use a reasonably space optimised layout without using the "experimental" raid5 features of btrfs?
[16:01] <NET||abuse> 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] <NET||abuse> btrfs is part of the kernel so i feel a little better about that.
[16:01] <compdoc> NET||abuse, none of that is true
[16:02] <sheer> could anyone tell me,
[16:02] <sheer> where are cookies stored?
[16:02] <sheer> 14.04 LTS, using chrome
[16:03] <frankpal> how to disable gnome-orca ?
[16:03] <theadmin> 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] <theadmin> sheer: (which is an SQLite database, you can use the "sqlite3" command to mess with it)
[16:04] <sheer> theadmin, i have no clue how to use linux yet. how do i direct my way there, please, good sir?
[16:04] <theadmin> sheer: Eh. Open the file manager, hit Ctrl-L, paste in the ~/.config/google-chrome/Default bit
[16:04] <theadmin> sheer: (essentially the same as on Windows, heh)
[16:05] <theadmin> 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] <theadmin> But if you just want to delete it, you can -- though I would suggest to do it from within Chrome instead
[16:05] <sheer> i only want to view, not modify it
[16:06] <sheer> so now i need to know how to get a viewer installed
[16:06] <sheer> theadmin, would you? xx
[16:07] <divBy0> why when i try to run imwheel -c i get Configuration terminated by signal 11
[16:08] <theadmin> sheer: Hmm... Okay run this command: sqlite3 -header -html ~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Cookies "SELECT * FROM cookies" > out.html
[16:08] <theadmin> sheer: Then open the "out.html" file in a browser
[16:08] <sheer> this is in the file browser, not terminal, right
[16:09] <theadmin> sheer: No that's a terminal command alright
[16:09] <sheer> how do I install sqlite3?
[16:09] <sheer> i hate asking these dumb questions but i'm totally new to linux
[16:09] <sheer> wait
[16:09] <sheer> it told me
[16:10] <sheer> where should the out.html be located?
[16:11] <theadmin> sheer: Your home folder
[16:11] <theadmin> Bah, it decides not to add the <table> tag itself apparently
[16:12] <theadmin> sheer: Add the following on top line of the file with a text editor if it looks like rubbish: <table border>
[16:12] <RixiM> Hi. I have looked all over, is gnupg 2.1 packaged for ubuntu any place? where do I find a list of existing ppas?
[16:12] <Danzo> in the terminal, pressing ctrl+c gives me "^C" - how can I edit this?
[16:13] <Danzo> I have changed the "ctrl+c" to copy, but I want the ^C back.
[16:13] <Danzo> i don't know what's it called
[16:13] <divBy0> anyone know about middle mouse click not working in utopic?
[16:13] <xangua> !doesntwork
[16:14] <sheer> theadmin, that worked, brilliant
[16:14] <divBy0> middle mouse button !doesntwork
[16:15] <SchrodingersScat> divBy0: so it's not pasting the clipboard?
[16:15] <Oneill> anyone successfuly installed ntopng 1.2.2 on ubuntu 12.04?
[16:15] <divBy0> SchrodingersScat: oh hey it does
[16:15] <divBy0> how do i change it to super scroll like in windows
[16:16] <SchrodingersScat> !info ntopng | Oneill, it's in the repos, you can install it with 'sudo apt-get install ntopng', so I assume many have installed it.
[16:16] <theadmin> divBy0: You can't I think
[16:16] <SchrodingersScat> oh, psh, specific version?
[16:17] <divBy0> SchrodingersScat: me? utopic
[16:17] <Oneill> SchrodingersScat true. however. my web gui has no Css / images. also i get missing geoip
[16:18] <Oneill> SchrodingersScat Its not rocket science, but i tried apt-get install ntopng ntopng-data, i tried manually downloading the .deb packages and i tried older versions
[16:18] <Oneill> the best i got was installing and running it but the webgui has no css / images
[16:19] <Oneill> the httpdocs folder is empty
[16:19] <Oneill> no geoip or html files
[16:19] <moondoggy> Can someone tell me if there is a standard place for a non-root user to write a log file?  (/var/log/ requires sudo)
[16:20] <divBy0> im new to the linux and ubuntu file systems -- what are important folders to backup besides /home
[16:20] <glogic> 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] <eraggo> moondoggy: if log file needs to be temporary: /tmp/
[16:23] <moondoggy> eraggo: Thanks.  I need to keep it long-term for troubleshooting, but I can't run this process as root.
[16:23] <theadmin> divBy0: Backing up anything else is error-prone to be honest. Just back up /home.
[16:23] <dcwilliams_VA> anyone following the ubuntu phone community event?
[16:23] <divByz0> neat
[16:23] <divByz0> and if there are apps i dont want to backup like .vmware is it safe to just leave them out
[16:24] <moondoggy> eraggo: could it go somewhere beneath /share  or /usr/share/ ?
[16:24] <theadmin> 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] <eraggo> moondoggy: nope; needs root/sudo access too
[16:24] <theadmin> 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] <divByz0> 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] <eraggo> moondoggy: use /home if you want more pernament place for logs
[16:25] <theadmin> divByz0: Ah alright, that makes sense. Sure, you can leave them out
[16:25] <moondoggy> Why does this seem strange to me?
[16:25] <divByz0> theadmin: what about configurations and settings
[16:25] <theadmin> 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] <moondoggy> Ok, I'll just keep it near the executable.
[16:26] <divByz0> theadmin: awesome, thanks
[16:26] <glogic> divByz0: You can think of /home sort of like a windows profile. All your configuration and settings are stored tehre...
[16:26] <moondoggy> eraggo: thanks.
[16:26] <Delta706> 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)?
[16:26] <theadmin> divByz0: Similarily, in Windows you'd normally just go back up C:\Users\ eh
[16:27] <theadmin> Or perhaps specific subfolders, up to your choice, naturally
[16:34] <SadlyMistaken_> Hello Everybody, I just installed my usb-video-capture... and i don't got /dev/video1... I only can see /dev/video0 which is my WebCam
[16:34] <SadlyMistaken_> please help
[16:38] <sheer> theadmin, when trying to tell something from cookies -- is there something more for me to do?
[16:38] <sheer> e.g. until the "encrypted_value" column
[16:38] <sheer> can i unencrypt it to figure something out?
[16:38] <theadmin> sheer: Not sure. What exactly are you searching for?
[16:39] <sheer> 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] <EriC^^> you're the 0day vulnerability
[16:39] <sheer> EriC^^, pls
[16:41] <sheer> could it be a bad idea to forward cookies to a random on the internet?
[16:41] <sheer> yes probably
[16:41] <NET||abuse> 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] <NET||abuse> i get no flexibility for changing the disk setup later.
[16:41] <NET||abuse> the other option is do btrfs-raid10 on the 4 disks, but i still end up only half the capacity,,
[16:41] <NET||abuse> i really hoped to have 12TB instead of 8
[16:43] <pawel_> hallo I've got a quick question
[16:43] <treehug88> ask
[16:44] <pawel_> I've got Ubuntu 14 and when using a secondary screen there appear to be some kind of interference over D-SUB
[16:44] <Shanx> k1l_, it's Acheloos (in my home now, but real quick). The issue at the installation remain even on a totally new partition.
[16:44] <pawel_> Something like not enough power reaching the external monitor
[16:44] <pawel_> Like you'd plug in the display into a laptop running on power saving mode on Windows on battery
[16:45] <pawel_> I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting this, thought the refresh rate might be wrong or something but it checks out in xrandr
[16:45] <JoaoNgm> =)
[16:45] <pawel_> Thoughts?

[16:46] <pawel_> what's up spider__
[16:46] <spider__> sorry
[16:46] <spider__> here is my script guys
[16:46] <spider__> #!/bin/bash  function greaterNum(num1, num2) {         if (num1 > num2) {                 return num1;         } else {                 return num2;         } }  console.log(greaterNum(5, 10));
[16:46] <Ben64> go to #bash
[16:46] <cfhowlett> spider__, did you NOT see the #bash recommendation?
[16:46] <pengemis> pastebin
[16:47] <theadmin> spider__: That's not Bash though, you have a JavaScript function there of course that doesn't work....
[16:47] <spider__> when i run it, it says that the unecpected symbol  "num1," `function greaterNum(num1, num2) {'
[16:47] <pawel_> lo
[16:47] <pawel_> l
[16:47] <theadmin> spider__: You have JS code. In a Bash script. That doesn't work.
[16:47] <spider__> witch means
[16:47] <theadmin> If you want to run random JS code on the command line you could install Node and use that.
[16:48] <spider__> what does JS stand for
[16:48] <theadmin> spider__: ...it means you should write an actual Bash script, or use a JavaScript interpreter to run your existing code.
[16:48] <spider__> i have runned alot of script the did work
[16:48] <leeyaa> hello
[16:48] <theadmin> spider__: Try pressing F12 in your browser and pasting that code there
[16:48] <leeyaa> i have ubuntu 14 desktop installed on a workstation
[16:48] <theadmin> Since it's JavaScript, it will work.
[16:49] <leeyaa> what is the easiest way to replicate that installation on 5 more workstations ?
[16:49] <leeyaa> without the whole installation/configuration

[16:51] <theadmin> !ops | spider__
[16:51] <theadmin> We have a troll onboard.
[16:51] <cfhowlett> theadmin, I feel bad that I added him /ignore 5 minutes ago ... NOT
[16:52] <NET||abuse> compdoc: i was actually correct about zfs and licence issues with zfs and the incomplete implementation of the ZoL project.
[16:52] <genii> theadmin: That's not a channel emergency
[16:52] <theadmin> Well, okay, that's up to the ops discretion of course.
[16:54] <genii> theadmin: Basically they needed to be directed to the #bash channel
[16:54] <theadmin> genii: They were directed there and ignored it. I tried to help but then they went on to insult me
[16:55] <genii> theadmin: I was preparing to admonish them but they had parted the channel by then.
[16:55] <genii> theadmin: As insults went, it was pretty mild :)
[16:56] <divBy0> how do you remap the middle mouse button?
[16:56] <theadmin> genii: Heh, true.
[16:56] <theadmin> divBy0: If you want the Windows scrolling functionality on middle click I'm afraid you can't do that.
[16:57] <divBy0> theadmin: where you just click once within a website and then you can easily move up and down real fast
[16:58] <theadmin> divBy0: I know, yes -- but again, Linux doesn't have that kind of a thing. In X11, middle mouse just pastes the currently selected text
[16:59] <theadmin> It's actually rather convenient... For fast scrolling, you can always use the pageup/down keys or drag the scrollbar eh
[17:00] <captainfantastic> some weird thing is happening, in linux mint, download speed from a mirror server is very fast, but the same server is not in ubuntu? any ideas?
[17:00] <daftykins> !mint
[17:00] <daftykins> sorry, not supported here.
[17:01] <diffis> The scroll works like that at least on my firefox, divBy0. But it requires that the cursor is not in any textarea. If it is, then it pastes.
[17:01] <daftykins> oh, i'm sorry i did that before reading your full sentence, bad me.
[17:01] <theadmin> divBy0: Oh, yeah, some apps may "emulate" the Windows behaviour like Firefox does that
[17:01] <daftykins> captainfantastic: select a different mirror?
[17:01] <theadmin> divBy0: But only specific apps, not the entire graphical system
[17:01] <divBy0> theadmin: true, i like the feature, but im quicker with copy/paste through the menu and im on a small asus notebook so pgup and down are pains
[17:02] <captainfantastic> daftykins: It's local mirror server, and normally download speed from that server is very high, I tried some tests and it's certain that it is happening only in my fresh ubuntu installation
[17:03] <daftykins> captainfantastic: can you provide any actual evidence to demonstrate this? and change mirror just to be sure?
[17:04] <divBy0> theadmin: i found a workaround but i cant tell which id # im supposed to use
[17:04] <divBy0> theadmin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/49310/is-there-any-way-of-enabling-middle-click-scrolling
[17:04] <treehug88> captainfantastic: I’d suspect network differences. Is one on wireless, or a different subnet? just thoughts
[17:05] <captainfantastic> treehug88: same network, same laptop, same mirror server. That's why I'm curious
[17:05] <treehug88> captainfantastic: is the disk nearly full? That slows down writes
[17:07] <daftykins> i bet it's down to route or DNS
[17:07] <captainfantastic> actually I installed after trying fedora, and had some troubles with grub due to lvm and stuff and applied a patch to some grub header file.
[17:07] <daftykins> but yeah since i'm not getting the answers i asked for, can't help.
[17:13] <divBy0> can i shrink an ext4 partition to free up space for a hackintosh
[17:13] <pobrepomelo> hi
[17:13] <cfhowlett> divBy0, of course.
[17:14] <ravi> hi guys, confuse on choosing best desktop publishing software on ubuntu.
[17:14] <divBy0> cfhowlett: in gparted i have /dev/sda3 and under that i have /dev/sda5 and sda6. sda5 is linux-swap and sda6 is ubuntu.
[17:15] <cfhowlett> ravi, rather depends on the type of publishing needed; newsletter? academic?
[17:15] <divBy0> 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] <ravi> cfhowlett, for over all use
[17:16] <cfhowlett> 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] <cfhowlett> 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.
[17:17] <cfhowlett> *sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-publishing*
[17:17] <ravi> thank you
[17:17] <cfhowlett> ravi, happy2help!
[17:17] <walrusLT> what could happen wrong if i connect +12v with transistor to speakers going from audio jack, without any capacitors or resistors?
[17:18] <walrusLT> why they are needed?
[17:18] <walrusLT> :)
[17:18] <SadlyMistaken_> my capture-video-usb is not recoginzed... I need a little bit help, please
[17:18] <divBy0> cfhowlett: what do you mean by execute? and what do i do since the linux drive i want to free up is nested under the sda3 with a linux-swap
[17:18] <daftykins> !ot | walrusLT
[17:18] <cfhowlett> divBy0, execute the command.
[17:19] <walrusLT> but i really need to know atleast everyones opinion and al little bit of knowledge , even if it's about my shitty cfree amplifer for speakers
[17:19] <cfhowlett> walrusLT, this is a SOFTWARE support channel.  you asked a hardware question. no.
[17:19] <walrusLT> why resistors and capacitors are needed in transistor amplifier
[17:19] <cfhowlett> walrusLT, ask ##hardware
[17:20] <walrusLT> cghowlett, but it's friday, so why not to party with music?
[17:20] <cfhowlett> walrusLT, yeah, no.  if you truly want an answer, don't troll here.  ask elsewhere.
[17:22] <divBy0> cfhowlett: what about the hierchy? which sda am i touching
[17:23] <Bashing-om> SadlyMistaken_: Does -> lsusb <- show the USB device ? Is a mount point created ? -> ls -al /media/<username> .
[17:24] <SadlyMistaken_> Bashing-om>> this is the problem, lsusb shows the usb device
[17:24] <cfhowlett> divBy0, I've not hackintosh'd in years.   better to seek guidance in the hackintosh forums
[17:24] <SadlyMistaken_> Bashing-om>> but i don't get the /dev/videoSOMETHING
[17:24] <divBy0> cfhowlett: ok. tks
[17:25] <SadlyMistaken_> Bashing-om>> it is a usb video capture, not a usb storage
[17:26] <pengemis> hi, anyone know advantage/disadvantage for manually compile systemd 218 on utopic? thanks
[17:27] <Bashing-om> SadlyMistaken_: What does /var/log/syslog have to relate about the device ?
[17:28] <NymeriaFR> pengemis : Humm I think if you compile manualy systemd you have to check yourself if it have a security update
[17:29] <SadlyMistaken_> Bashing-om>> i didn't say anything about /var/log.... i was talking about the device i need to choose in VLC or SMpLayer... i need to choose some /dev/video1... or something similar /dev/video0 is my webcam
[17:29] <NymeriaFR> if you install it throug apt, ubuntu team will do that for you
[17:30] <Bashing-om> SadlyMistaken_: sorry, out of my range of experience . I do not use the device .
[17:34] <pengemis> NymeriaFR, any else? because i just need systemd-nspawn and don't want to bloat my installation with lxc or docker
[17:34] <k1l_> Shanx: fif you md5sum the isos?
[17:35] <k1l_> Shanx: how do you isntall it?  because the install isos are tested and known to work. and they are absolutly not calling for new debian package versions
[17:35] <k1l_> *did
[17:38] <NymeriaFR> pengemis, sorry i don't really know
[17:38] <NymeriaFR> I don't use systemd but usualy i prefer use apt-get instead of manually compilation
[17:39] <NymeriaFR> If it install lcx as dependence it should be mandatory, isn't ?
[17:40] <MrAristo> A while back there was a DefCon or BlackHat video of a guy doing privilege escalation 'attacks' and exploiting a default installation of Ubuntu.  As in, it was installed, nothing was changed from default, and he beat the hell out of it.  Anyone remember that, or know where I could find it?
[17:42] <NymeriaFR> MrAristo, on ubuntu 11.10 ?
[17:42] <MrAristo> NymeriaFR, I don't remember the version, but I'd be happy finding it even if it was 11.10
[17:42] <divBy0> u
[17:42] <NymeriaFR> It was arround 2 years ago ?
[17:43] <MrAristo> NymeriaFR, I believe so.
[17:43] <MrAristo> I can't seem to find it on YouTube or elsewhere.  Perhaps my google-fu is screwed up, or I'm missing something obvious.
[17:43] <divBy0> hey whats the difference between multi booting off a custom grub and using one of those one-click no fuss automated disk makers
[17:43] <NymeriaFR> http://www.securitytube.net/video/5407
[17:43] <MrAristo> !
[17:43] <NymeriaFR> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht3_RvRpE0A&hd=1
[17:43] <MrAristo> NymeriaFR, Thank you very much!  You are amazing!
[17:44] <treehug88> MrAristo: this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia6OJAP-KS0
[17:45] <MrAristo> treehug88, I don't believe it was ubuntu server.  I'm pretty sure it was the first one NymeriaFR linked.
[17:45] <MrAristo> But thank you as well, treehug88!
[17:45] <NymeriaFR> you're wellcome
[17:45] <treehug88> yw
[17:46] <MrAristo> I've beat my head against the wall for two days trying to find this, and in less than 30 seconds someone finds it.
[17:46] <NymeriaFR> first link in google :-P
[17:47] <bottazzini> http://www.fastcompany.com/3041969/ubuntu-phone-scopes-specs-release
[17:49] <k1l_> hey guys, this channels focus is on technical help. if you have info links or video requests you might want to try in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[17:49] <divBy0> hey whats the difference between multi booting off a custom grub and using one of those one-click no fuss automated disk makers
[17:53] <k1l_> divBy0: i dont get what you mean. are you talking about live-usb-sticks?
[17:54] <pengemis> 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] <diego_> Greetings Ubuntuers, I think this will be an easy question for many of you.
[17:54] <diego_> Can I newer version of a package, mess up an older version of a package that'd been installed with apt-get?
[17:54] <divBy0> like rufus
[17:54] <diego_> *Can a newer*...
[17:54] <ikonia> diego_: yes
[17:54] <divBy0> !rufus
[17:55] <divBy0> k1l_: https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[17:56] <diego_> 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] <ikonia> diego_: a tar ball will mess things up
[17:57] <ikonia> diego_: apt-get not having the newest is often a good thing
[17:57] <k1l_> divBy0: so you are talking about live usb systems. not hdd installs
[17:57] <k1l_> 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] <divByz0> k
[17:58] <diego_> ikonia:  In this case however, there is a bug, which I think is fixed by a newer one.
[17:58] <ikonia> diego_: I would strongly advise against using a tarball
[17:59] <ikonia> diego_: I would strongly advised more than "I think it's fixed"
[18:00] <nagarik> 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] <Tzunamii> nagarik: use 'free -m'
[18:01] <diego_> ikonia:  Is there another way to get a newer version that is not as risky as a tarball.
[18:01] <nagarik> I see a lot of usage in "buffers" and cache
[18:01] <diego_> ?
[18:01] <ikonia> diego_: I'd do more research first
[18:01] <nagarik> Free is about the same as top. What does buffers mean?
[18:01] <ikonia> about if that later version fixes it
[18:01] <Shenglin> hi
[18:01] <Tzunamii> 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] <ikonia> and if the "fix" has been back ported into the ubuntu package
[18:02] <nagarik> Tzunamii: so almost 70% is in the buffer in my case. So that memory will come back when needed?
[18:02] <Tzunamii> yes
[18:02] <NymeriaFR> Your memory is cached
[18:03] <nagarik> Okay, so I don't really need to worry then :)
[18:03] <NymeriaFR> Exemple : when you close firefox your system will not free used memory
[18:03] <Tzunamii> nagarik: Normally, no.
[18:03] <treehug88> nagarik: this is the #1 faq about linux. see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[18:03] <NymeriaFR> like that you can open it again faster
[18:04] <nagarik> Thanks treehug88, will give it a good read.
[18:04] <NymeriaFR> But if you open another programm (not cached) it will free your cachec memory
[18:04] <NymeriaFR> did you understand ?
[18:05] <Seveas> 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] <diego_> 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] <NymeriaFR> Seveas, Thank you for precision
[18:06] <NymeriaFR> I thought a webpage is cached in ram
[18:06] <Seveas> only while firfox is open
[18:06] <diego_> ikonia:  It does mention a CRAN package, but I'm not familiar with that.
[18:07] <Tzunamii> 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] <ikonia> diego_: what mentions the CRAN package ?
[18:08] <Giwrgaras> hi any good lens for ubuntu 14.04?  thats stable ofcourse
[18:08] <jhutchins> !ram
[18:08] <diego_> ikonia: I'm sorry, I got confused with that.
[18:09] <diego_> ikonia: That was something else.
[18:12] <diego_> Tzunamii: That's a good point.  I'm at the DEV environment, so I can be more risky.
[18:12] <proton0s> hello
[18:13] <smivai> hello
[18:13] <diego_> 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] <jatt> how do I disable the horizontal scroll bar?
[18:14] <daftykins> diego_: you don't install software from non-package-management sources, because they can't be kept up to date :)
[18:14] <lucidguy> Just enabled/configed eth1, it is responding to the network but iftop and iptraf does not seem to log any traffic, thoughts?
[18:16] <diego_> daftykins:  That makes sense.  But maybe I can find a different package manager that does have a newer version.
[18:16] <agent_white> Good mornin'
[18:16] <daftykins> 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] <proton0s> 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] <daftykins> !ppa | diego_ but these are not supported here
[18:18] <divBy0> how is mkdir newdir different from mkdir ~/newdir
[18:18] <daftykins> ~/newdir creates 'newdir' in /home/current-user/
[18:19] <smivai> hello all I am new into linux
[18:19] <OerHeks> mkdir without arguments makes the dir at current location
[18:19] <k1l_> divBy0: its just different if you are not in your users home at the moment
[18:19] <OerHeks> proton0s, hard to compare.
[18:19] <divBy0> ok thanks
[18:19] <daftykins> smivai: that's nice, this is a support channel with general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:19] <smivai> thanks for mKING THIS channel
[18:20] <divBy0> i downloaded something called onedrive-d from git clone https://github.com/xybu92/onedrive-d.git and its installed but i can't figure out how to run it
[18:20] <divBy0> can someone please help
[18:20] <proton0s> well what i basically like about ubuntu is this PPA thingy
[18:21] <NymeriaFR> divBy0, you in your directory
[18:21] <NymeriaFR> and type : " ./setup.sh inst "
[18:21] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: i did, everything was successful
[18:22] <NymeriaFR> Type "onedrive-d" for synchronize your data
[18:22] <OerHeks> divBy0, take a read @ https://github.com/xybu/onedrive-d
[18:22] <divBy0> yes i read the readme it says command not found
[18:23] <diego_> ikonia: Tzunamii daftykins,  I understand what I'm after.  Thanks for the feedback.
[18:23] <diego_>  
[18:24] <SchrodingersScat> divBy0: is onedrive-d somewhere in your PATH?
[18:24] <NymeriaFR> have type onedrive-pref for configuring the tools ?
[18:24] <divBy0> yes command not found
[18:26] <NymeriaFR> Okay
[18:26] <NymeriaFR> try to run directly the program
[18:26] <NymeriaFR> " ./onedrive_d/pref.py --no-gui"
[18:26] <divBy0> i dont see it anywhere just the setup.s
[18:26] <divBy0> oh ok hold on
[18:27] <daftykins> i bet this is documented *rolleyes*
[18:28] <pratik> I got SEVERE Eye strain while using Ubantu , but NO issue about eye strain  while using Win 7 ! ! ! Please sort it out
[18:28] <Goose_> Get F.lux!
[18:28] <NymeriaFR> type " ls ./onedrive_d/"
[18:28] <NymeriaFR> and tell me what it returned
[18:29] <divBy0> no such file
[18:29] <Goose_> Anyone know how to edit my touchscreen settings?
[18:29] <pavlos> pratik, system settings | display  ... change resolution
[18:29] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: should i just delete the folders and try again? will that mess with aything
[18:29] <pratik> Using Flux but still some eyestrain  is there .
[18:30] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: or do i need to apt remove
[18:30] <Goose_> It could just be your brightness
[18:30] <NymeriaFR> Okay
[18:31] <NymeriaFR> before type "cd ~" and then type what i told you
[18:31] <Tzunamii> Don't feed the trolls
[18:32] <Goose_> <Tzunamii_: what/
[18:32] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: which one you told me a few
[18:33] <pratik> Hi , pls suggest some solution
[18:33] <Goose_> for what?
[18:33] <k1l_> pratik: use redshift-gtk
[18:34] <Tzunamii> Goose_: pratik is an obvious troll. Don't feed him.
[18:34] <NymeriaFR> divBy0, in your home folder have you a directory named onedrive_d ?
[18:34] <pratik> @Tzunamii Really ? Its NOT TROLL
[18:34] <Goose_> oh
[18:35] <pratik> Come to my house and see my eyes
[18:35] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: no, but theres a onedrive-d
[18:35] <Goose_> dude, just change your brightness or use redshift
[18:35] <Goose_> not much you can do
[18:35] <pratik>  redshift-gtk How to download it ?
[18:36] <Goose_> sudo apt-get install redshift-gtk
[18:36] <Goose_> lauch from dash
[18:36] <pratik> By the way I am using AMD Radeon , will it support AMD >
[18:36] <pratik> ?
[18:36] <Goose_> yes, just installed again, works for me
[18:37] <NymeriaFR> divBy0,  go in this directory
[18:37] <NymeriaFR> and lunch the script named "pref.py"
[18:38] <NET||abuse> wow.. that is so cool.. setup plex server on my home server, streaming daily show from btrfs on my home server over ssh port fowarding from starbucks
[18:38] <Goose_> yep. Plex is pretty sweet
[18:38] <NET||abuse> any tips on using it?
[18:39] <NET||abuse> i put movies and tvshows on the server,
[18:39] <NET||abuse> any management tools or plugins worth looking at? or storage arrangements that help keep it organised?
[18:39] <Goose_> Well I'm kinda new. If you can, set up the media server on a system you can always have on
[18:39] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10095918/
[18:39] <pratik> I would like to know What was the actual Issue in Ubuntu ? I never needed to install Some eye protection software for Ubuntu!
[18:39] <Goose_> It organizes itselfd
[18:40] <Goose_> Done with youi
[18:40] <NET||abuse> Goose_: well it's a hp microserver in my living room which i've got ssh portforwarding to and yeh, it should be always on.
[18:40] <NET||abuse> it's got 24TB of disk for storage :)
[18:40] <Goose_> Well then get a VPN and get to torrenting!
[18:40] <NET||abuse> 4x6TB WD red's
[18:40] <NET||abuse> nice
[18:40] <pascalav> Hi, on a 14.10 server, with dynamic IP bound to mynick.no-ip.org, I'd like to setup an Apache vhost accessible at https://myapp.mynick.no-ip.org. I believe the vhostname would be "myapp", the subdomain "mynick", the domain "no-ip" and the TLD "org". FQDN: myapp.mynick.no-ip.org. Examples I found limit to hostname.domain.tld. Does it sound possible to you? Thanks
[18:41] <NET||abuse> pascalav: of course it is
[18:41] <NET||abuse> but you'd have to change the way you are doing your dns
[18:41] <pascalav> At the moment, I run http://mynick.no-ip.org/myapp flawlessly, but URL is bad design I guess
[18:41] <Goose_> Yeah that seems totally possible!
[18:42] <Goose_> Yeah that URL is bad haha
[18:42] <Goose_> But not problem really
[18:42] <Goose_> Is it already live?
[18:43] <pascalav> Thanks guys :) Good to read so. NET||abuse: Can you point me some topic in order to achieve those DNS changes please? I thought I'd have to modify /etc/hosts only
[18:44] <NymeriaFR> divBy0, you should post an issue on github because i don't know this tools
[18:44] <Goose_> yeah, post on askubuntu and github. CHeck this out too http://askubuntu.com/questions/346838/how-do-i-configure-my-dns-settings-in-ubuntu-server
[18:44] <NymeriaFR> but i think you should not use onedrive, prefer "gdrive" or "hubbic"
[18:44] <pascalav> For the moment: 127.0.0.1 localhost\n127.0.1.1 host.sub.domain.tld host
[18:45] <divBy0> NymeriaFR: is it safe to just delete the folders and reinstall or should i remove through apt
[18:45] <pascalav> Ok :)
[18:45] <Exogar> hey guys
[18:46] <NymeriaFR> divBy0,  normly it should have a file named config.json
[18:46] <NymeriaFR> with {
[18:46] <NymeriaFR>   "log_path": "/home/me/.onedrive"
[18:46] <NymeriaFR> }
[18:46] <NymeriaFR> is better to use apt
[18:47] <Exogar> I am getting strange errors whenever i log into my ubuntu. The errormessages only tell me "A system program has an error" and the only options I have are [cancel] and [send report]. I opened up my syslog but don't see my error, can you help me?
[18:47] <liljoe88> ciaooo
[18:48] <MeXTuX> Everytime I go to Gmail I see a dialog asking me if I want to install Extra features, click "Yes" but nothing happens. When I enter again I see the dialog again. Is there a bug? (I am using Ubuntu 14.10 and Firefox 35.0.1)
[18:48] <pzkpfw> Hello everyone. You've always been able to help me in the past. Basically I think I BRICKED my laptop upgrading from 14.04->14.10. Hangs at BIOS loading screen and can't boot from live disk, etc. support ticket -> http://tinyurl.com/l32hkz5
[18:51] <theadmin> pzkpfw: Hardware problem, possibly broken storage
[18:52] <theadmin> hmm then again maybe not
[18:52] <daftykins> lol @ support ticket
[18:52] <daftykins> theadmin: yeah that's a bit of a leap.
[18:52] <theadmin> Since booting from other media doesn't work

[18:53] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> pzkpfw: also, your claim that UEFI boot is required for that SSD is completely false.
[18:54] <pzkpfw> exogar
[18:55] <Exogar> yeah?
[18:55] <pzkpfw> that happened to me for no reason... I also noted Javascript crashing a lot within firefox
[18:55] <pzkpfw> don't know if they're related or not...
[18:55] <pzkpfw> but I did a fresh install and both went away
[18:55] <pzkpfw> except now I'm getting the "system errors" on startup now...
[18:55] <Amy_Lu_Who> 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] <Amy_Lu_Who> 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] <NET||abuse> hmm, if i put tvshows and movies in the same directory, will plex organise them?
[18:56] <daftykins> 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] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: It's a .NET application, use Mono to run it not Wine
[18:56] <theadmin> Though, if it has an installer that's a problem
[18:56] <pzkpfw> 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] <BlackVenom> Evening folks
[18:56] <daftykins> pzkpfw: i gave you more instructions than that. try them.
[18:57] <NET||abuse> or do i need to specify one directory as tvshows and one as movies?
[18:57] <Amy_Lu_Who> Mono?  which am I looking for in software center?
[18:57] <Amy_Lu_Who> theadmin, mono runtime?
[18:57] <pzkpfw> something to do with UEFI I'm guessing? I know nothing about UEFI though so dont' ask me
[18:57] <daftykins> Amy_Lu_Who: if you really need that program you should consider virtualising Windows on top of Ubuntu with virtuabox.
[18:57] <puff> 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] <daftykins> pzkpfw: follow my above instructions please.
[18:57] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: Yeah that's the thing but what daftykins says is also true
[18:58] <daftykins> *virtualbox
[18:58] <Exogar> 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] <daftykins> Exogar: no those are completely unrelated
[18:58] <Amy_Lu_Who> daftykins, theadmin i do not like windows.  AT ALL.  is it a real version of windows or a spoof?
[18:58] <puff> 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] <puff> Anybody know what this is about?
[18:58] <daftykins> puff: yes this is how it happens, flash is dead now.
[18:59] <puff> daftykins: Sigh.
[18:59] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: Err, Virtualbox just allows you to run any other operating system inside your current one
[18:59] <daftykins> 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] <puff> daftykins: Not that I mind or will miss flash, but I was enjoying watching Amazon Prime :-(
[18:59] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: So it's as "real" as the ISO/DVD you feed it that's all
[18:59] <Exogar> daftykins: oh okay, sorry I am new to linux
[18:59] <pzkpfw> haha what was so funny about it?
[18:59] <daftykins> puff: so use chrome - it has pepperflash which may keep working
[18:59] <divByz0> 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] <Amy_Lu_Who> nope.  not contaminating my computer with windows.  it encourages the evil heathens.
[18:59] <divByz0> puff: then if you have the latest chrome with updates you can watch netflix
[19:00] <BlackVenom> Can someone possibly help me mounting a DVD-RW drive please
[19:00] <daftykins> Amy_Lu_Who: i think you encouraged it by getting a Windows only program, actually :)
[19:00] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  what happens when you try
[19:00] <Amy_Lu_Who> i didnt buy it yet. would you like to make me a rabbit pedigree creator?
[19:00] <joppep> hi guys
[19:01] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, I am stuck at the first hurdle I think
[19:01] <BlackVenom> if i run sudo fdisk -l it doens't seem to show my DVD drive
[19:01] <pzkpfw> take out the little watch battery?
[19:01] <pzkpfw> rgr
[19:01] <pzkpfw> "watch battery"
[19:01] <pzkpfw> waht do you mean by 'removing mains'?
[19:01] <joppep> after a power outage i cant connect with remote gui to transmission
[19:01] <joppep> transmission-daemon is started
[19:01] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  try   sudo blkid
[19:02] <joppep> is there anything else i should start?
[19:02] <daftykins> Amy_Lu_Who: a what? no, no.
[19:02] <pzkpfw> daftykins fair enough. I wouldn't boot from that SSD until I changed to UEFI in the bios setting though
[19:02] <pzkpfw> It*
[19:02] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, how do I know which one of those is the DVD?
[19:02] <daftykins> pzkpfw: because you probably booted ubuntu in EFI mode and so installed in EFI :)
[19:03] <daftykins> pzkpfw: you have to boot legacy and install as legacy for the SSD to boot as legacy \o/
[19:03] <theadmin> 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] <daftykins> needing .NET is a bad sign though
[19:03] <Amy_Lu_Who> 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] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: I don't really know of any for Linux, sadly
[19:04] <daftykins> Amy_Lu_Who: don't have a clue.
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  paste this in a terminal   sudo apt-get install pastebinit;sudo blkid|pastebinit
[19:04] <Amy_Lu_Who> theadmin, i apologize for coming to the wrong place
[19:04] <Bashing-om> pzkpfw: File system check ran ? After a power failure I do not even think about it, I just do it !
[19:04] <pzkpfw> 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] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, I already have it installed. Never knew how to use it though lol
[19:04] <BlackVenom> one sec
[19:04] <Amy_Lu_Who> daftykins, theadmin thank you both for your assistance.
[19:04] <puff> daftykins: Thanks.
[19:05] <puff> daftykins: Looks like divByz0 left, what do you think of playonlinux?
[19:05] <daftykins> pzkpfw: correct, mains is mains power - aka outlet power for the americans or 'juice' - whatever you want to call it :D
[19:05] <pzkpfw> I do not know how to follow your instructions. Sorry. Just asking for clarification.

[19:05] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: Then, run the program with wine again
[19:05] <daftykins> puff: it's not steam. never touched and never tried

[19:06] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  "tv-shows"... could that be the dvd? is a collection of tv shows?
[19:06] <Amy_Lu_Who> theadmin, ok. what exactly do i type, i love trminal but i don

[19:07] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: Just type: winetricks dotnet40
[19:07] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  i believe you... but you're right, the dvd doesnt show in the list
[19:07] <theadmin> Amy_Lu_Who: This will download and run the .NET installer with certain settings that make it... usable with wine
[19:08] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, I knew it wasn't me
[19:08] <pascalav> 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] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  did you try a different dvd, to be sure?
[19:08] <BlackVenom> Shows on boot though
[19:08] <joppep> that settings.json is a bit flimsy
[19:08] <BlackVenom> The drive that is
[19:08] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, Do you mean try a diferent drive or medium?
[19:09] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  a differnet dvd disk
[19:09] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, One moment
[19:10] <NET||abuse> pascalav: yes, basically no-ip is not the best deal for what you're looking for.

[19:13] <EriC^^> BlackVenom: what do you mean?
[19:13] <puff> daftykins: Not steam?
[19:14] <BlackVenom> 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] <MonkeyDust> BlackVenom  looks like it's the disk then, security comes to mind, or the different standards (bluray etc)
[19:15] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, surely the Audio CD would still show and be readable though
[19:20] <BlackVenom> MonkeyDust, EriC^^, what does this command do, dmesg | tail

[19:31] <Bashing-om> 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]: .

[20:05] <OerHeks> lucidguy, "traffic packets were custom/changed to go out certain devices depending on source nic" what do you mean with that?
[20:08] <lucidguy> 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.

[20:17] <OerHeks> pzkpfw, after removing that battery, did you hold the powerbutton to clear all?
[20:17] <pzkpfw> No, let me try that
[20:17] <OerHeks> + powercord ofcourse
[20:18] <pzkpfw> I removed the battery and powercord before I opened it up and unplugged the button-cell battery for 10+ minutes

[20:50] <divBy0> then leave it disconnected from everything for a few minutes
[20:50] <divBy0> then hold the power button down while its disconnected for 2 minutes to drain all the charge
[20:50] <pzkpfw> ah ok I'll hold the button
[20:51] <pzkpfw> I took the little button battery out and made lunch
[20:51] <pzkpfw> then put it back in lol
[20:51] <divBy0> lol

[20:57] <divBy0> ianorlin: do you mean i could mess it up, an attacker, or just dumb luck
[20:57] <divBy0> ianorlin: im looking for security and options/versatility
[20:57] <ianorlin> you could mess it up
[20:57] <divBy0> ianorlin: what about security
[20:58] <ianorlin> I don't really see how that is relevent here unless you wanted grub password on the stick
[20:59] <wotan147> divBy0 when burning an .iso with k3b (the KDE stuff) do you know if there is a particular option to activate? This was a DVD-RW. Could that be a reason as well ?
[20:59] <divBy0> yes
[20:59] <divBy0> media, medium, software
[21:00] <divBy0> when i first got my usb burner i couldnt get a successful linux burn
[21:00] <divBy0> and i didnt want to go through however many discs to find the right recipe so i just use windows to burn

[21:01] <DJones> Apachez: And thats an ubuntu support query?
[21:02] <DJones> !topic | Apachez
[21:03] <Apachez> DJones: thats a general recommendation to everyone, including people using ubuntu
[21:04] <DJones> Apachez: So its not an Ubuntu support issue as mentioned in the channel topic
[21:04] <Apachez> it isnt?
[21:05] <wotan147> md5sum check is apparently performed in k3b already and it seems right

[21:11] <amo> hi
[21:11] <amo> i want to allow user to access ssh
[21:11] <amo> i modified the sshd_config
[21:12] <amo> AllowUsers root ubuntu tunneluser@
[21:12] <amo> but it doesn't work
[21:13] <OerHeks> amo, so you have 3 users, root, ubuntu and tunneluser@ ?
[21:13] <amo> yes
[21:14] <OerHeks> my wild guess is that last user is the user you want to grant acces? i think you need to drop the @
[21:14] <amo> AllowUsers root ubuntu tunneluser@domainName
[21:15] <amo> i need to allow users from specific IP w access ssh

[21:31] <Bray90820> So I have ubuntu set to turn my screen off after 30 minutes but it won't wake up
[21:33] <MonkeyDust> Bray90820  you mean the screen, or suspend?
[21:33] <MonkeyDust> suspend the pc ^^^
[21:33] <Bray90820> MonkeyDust: I mean screen
[21:33] <patrick__> Hello -- running Ubuntu 14.04, and upon boot, my lightdm fails. When I check /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log, the last two lines say "Failed to find session configuration default" and "Failed to create greeter session." Any ideas on how to investigate this further?
[21:34] <Bray90820> MonkeyDust: why would it need to be suspended
[21:36] <MonkeyDust> Bray90820  i asked, because i know how to make the pc wake up, but not the screen itself
[21:36] <Bray90820> MonkeyDust: in Brightness and settings i have turn screen off after 30 minutes enabled
[21:38] <Bray90820> MonkeyDust: ubunally on windows i just move the mouse and it wakes up
[21:38] <Bray90820> usually
[21:38] <tgm4883> Bray90820: are you able to ssh into the machine?
[21:39] <Bray90820> tgm4883: idk about ssh but i can use teamviewer when the screen is asleep
[21:39] <TJ-> Bray90820: screen off is controlled by the DPMS signalling. Checkout "man xset" and look specifically at the DPMS and 's' (blank) options
[21:39] <tgm4883> Bray90820: you can use teamviewer when the screen is asleep? Is this a laptop?
[21:40] <TJ-> Bray90820: Also, check "/var/log/xorg.0.log" and "/var/log/kern.log" for indications of ACPI/DPMS issues
[21:40] <Bray90820> tgm4883: This is a desktop
[21:41] <tgm4883> Bray90820: check the logs that TJ- mentioned

[21:52] <korek> me too ;)
[21:52] <eka> hi, looking at logrotate... I'm confused about the rotate "count" argument... some places say it's weeks, other says it's days

[21:55] <Roots47> 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] <Roots47> or is that just "piping" the setup file to run in bash
[21:57] <tgm4883> Roots47: it's generally not a good idea to just run random commands from the internet without knowing what they do
[21:57] <Roots47> tgm4883: even on my free EC2 test instance? lmao.
[21:57] <Roots47> that's how we learn, right?
[21:57] <tgm4883> Roots47: No, that is not how you learn
[21:57]  * tgm4883 facepalm
[21:58] <Roots47> tgm4883: I have a general understanding of what CURL is... I'm not going to run rm -rf * or something, hah.
[21:58] <tgm4883> Roots47: did you even bother looking at the script?
[21:58] <MonkeyDust> Roots47  create a chroot, test your commands there
[21:58] <Cheaterman> Hello buddies
[21:58] <Cheaterman> I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm trying to get a Steam game to run on a hybrid-cards environment
[21:58] <tgm4883> Roots47: unless of course there is that bad command in the script you are running
[21:59] <Roots47> tgm4883: do you mean looking at the output?  or looking at the script itself before running it?
[21:59] <tgm4883> Roots47: I mean look at the script before you run it
[21:59] <tgm4883> Roots47: if you do that, it's fairly obvious why it output what it did
[21:59] <Roots47> Doi, I can just open this up in a browser haha... nice.
[22:00] <Roots47> looking at it now
[22:00] <Cheaterman> 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] <tgm4883> Roots47: and that would be how you learn, not by just randomly running commands, even in a sandbox
[22:00] <Cheaterman> Which I'm very happy about
[22:00] <Cheaterman> 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] <Cheaterman> (/me is impressed - Borderlands 2 seems to start!)
[22:01] <Roots47> 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] <Roots47> tgm4883: curl -sL http://someUrl | sudo bash - ... does this actually store the file somewhere? or just runs it on the fly?
[22:02] <tgm4883> 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] <Roots47> tgm4883: sorry, that was just an aside.  I was more or less seeking information about the commands being run.
[22:03] <Roots47> should have been more clear.
[22:03] <mihai_> u can't keep me out betch
[22:03] <Roots47> and what the | sudo bash - is doing
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Roots47: Something nasty.
[22:04] <Roots47> Cheaterman: haha
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Roots47: Let's be honest - don't pipe to bash without validating first
[22:04] <Roots47> Cheaterman: it's definitely installing viruses
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Especially as root
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Yes.
[22:04] <tgm4883> Roots47: You're downloading a script and letting it run as root on your system.
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Roots47: Precisely what tgm4883 said - and it basicaly boils down to what YOU said
[22:04] <tgm4883> I mean seriously people
[22:04] <Roots47> ok so definitely a good idea (in practice) to verify the script first
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Roots47: Not a "good idea"
[22:04] <Cheaterman> mandatory for anyone SERIOUS
[22:04] <Roots47> a must
[22:04] <Cheaterman> yep
[22:04] <Cheaterman> Basically
[22:05] <Cheaterman> if you're dumb enough to _not_ validate
[22:05] <Cheaterman> you deserve the rm -rf /
[22:05] <tgm4883> in fact, I'd probably download the script first, verify it locally, then run it
[22:05] <Roots47> 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] <Cheaterman> (don't type this at home kids, especially not as root)
[22:05] <tgm4883> instead of doing it all on the fly
[22:05] <Cheaterman> tgm4883: Sometimes it's not enough
[22:05] <Cheaterman> With my friends we did a security test
[22:05] <Cheaterman> it checks your user agent so you have to CURL it to get the virus
[22:05] <Roots47> haha
[22:05] <Cheaterman> a wget / browser would send something clean
[22:05] <Cheaterman> :-)
[22:06] <tgm4883> Cheaterman: no, I mean download it, verify it, and run it locally. Don't curl and pipe to bash
[22:06] <Roots47> Man, I'm jealous of all you admin/network folk. :P
[22:06] <Cheaterman> tgm4883: Especially not with cURL, see above
[22:06] <Cheaterman> Roots47: well we kinda... don't have a life
[22:06] <Cheaterman> it's the drawback :-)
[22:06] <Cheaterman> I'm at a family dinner just FYI
[22:06] <Roots47> Me neither, I just live in code all day haha.
[22:06] <Cheaterman> working on my cousin's computer xD
[22:06] <Cheaterman> same ^^"
[22:06] <tgm4883> Cheaterman: not true, at one point I had a secondlife
[22:06] <Cheaterman> tgm4883: :DDDDDDDD
[22:06] <Cheaterman> So true
[22:06] <Roots47> tgm4883: lol, reference to the game?
[22:07] <tgm4883> that counts right ;)
[22:07] <tgm4883> Roots47: yes
[22:07] <ianorlin> I still do
[22:07] <ianorlin> oops wrong chanel
[22:07] <Roots47> Cheaterman: what do you write for code?
[22:08] <Cheaterman> Roots47: Unforutunately PHP is what I make a living out of - sometimes some bash but it's minimalistic
[22:08] <Cheaterman> I do Python as a hobby though
[22:08] <Cheaterman> ianorlin: It's okay, seems to be offtopic time ;-)
[22:08] <Roots47> 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] <dtscode-> I'm gay
[22:09] <agent_white> I make pizzas
[22:09] <sliddjur> 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] <Cheaterman> dtscode-: Good for ya! I'd love to be bi, twice as many people to sex with :-)
[22:09] <agent_white> dtscode-: GO BACK TO #LP
[22:09] <tgm4883> this is getting way !OT
[22:09] <Cheaterman> sliddjur: Please wait a sec, someone __serious__ will take care of your issue ^^"
[22:09] <Cheaterman> as you may have noticed it's offtopic time
[22:09] <Roots47> 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] <tgm4883> sliddjur: ubuntu on a TV as a media center, or a desktop?
[22:09] <Cheaterman> Roots47: makes sense, although you could get some specific stuff to do that :-)
[22:10] <Roots47> Cheaterman: I'm going to use jenkins and github
[22:10] <Roots47> Cheaterman: at least to start... just to gain an understanding of the process/flow
[22:10] <sliddjur> tgm4883: im using it as a media center (plex, surfing youtube, facebook etc)
[22:10] <dtscode-> hey agent_white
[22:10] <dtscode-> where do you get your name from
[22:10] <dtscode-> it's a cool name
[22:11] <Cheaterman> Roots47: makes sense :-) but I think we should let sliddjur get helped for now
[22:11] <kudu> 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] <jatt> yes
[22:12] <Roots47> Cheaterman: sure thing, thanks for the advice.  You'll probably be hearing more from me :o)
[22:12] <Roots47> tgm4883: you as well.
[22:12] <agent_white> kudu: Best way is prolly through some ACL's
[22:12] <tgm4883> sliddjur: not sure, have you tried something like this  http://askubuntu.com/questions/471989/changing-icon-font-size-colour-in-14-04
[22:12] <patrick__> 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] <kudu> agent_white: can't those be changed by the user who owns the directory though? also will vsftpd work with them?
[22:13] <jatt> give rw permissions to other or to group
[22:14] <kudu> No, I don't want every single user to be able to access other users' files
[22:14] <kudu> just certain privileged ones
[22:15] <Cheaterman> Roots47: ^__^
[22:15] <EriC^^> patrick__: check /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf or users.conf
[22:16] <Cheaterman> Hey buddies I have a stupid question
[22:17] <fanderal> kudu: have you tried putting priviledged usernames in unpriviledged groups in /etc/group?
[22:17] <Cheaterman> I want my customer's Steam (/usr/bin/steam) to start with a custom (bash) variable set to a value
[22:17] <Cheaterman> The DRI_PRIME=1 thingy for hybrid graphics
[22:17] <fanderal> meant unpriviledged names
[22:17] <Cheaterman> Do you have any idea how to achieve this?
[22:18] <kudu> fanderal: What do you mean?
[22:18] <Cheaterman> It's a very simple thing, but I can't seem to achieve it with Ubuntu/Unity
[22:18] <Cheaterman> :-/
[22:18] <kudu> Nvm actually
[22:19] <pzkpfw> 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] <fanderal> kudo: open /etc/group and add priviledged names to unpriviledged names' group
[22:19] <agent_white> 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] <EriC^^> Cheaterman: did you try export var="bla" in his ~/.profile
[22:19] <Cheaterman> pzkpfw: Or in Gentoo.
[22:20] <Cheaterman> EriC^^: Oh. I didn't think about something so simple
[22:20] <Cheaterman> Makes sense
[22:20] <Cheaterman> I guess it takes a relog to work, so lemme add it, and try
[22:21] <Cheaterman> Erf, Unity doesn't like that.
[22:21] <Cheaterman> I mean - really doesn't.
[22:22] <Cheaterman> Like, I'm missing the background, etc - as I said, this is related to hybrid graphics
[22:22] <Cheaterman> DRI_PRIME=1, anyone?
[22:22] <Cheaterman> Anyways. It's a good start EriC^^
[22:22] <Cheaterman> Do you have more ideas?
[22:23] <Roots47> 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] <Roots47> My security group is open to the world on ports 80 and 22
[22:24] <Roots47> wait a second, duh.
[22:24] <patrick__> 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] <EriC^^> Cheaterman: how does the user start it?
[22:24] <Cheaterman> EriC^^: From the dock
[22:25] <EriC^^> Cheaterman: maybe add it to the .desktop file?
[22:25] <Roots47> 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] <Cheaterman> EriC^^: Hmm, I didn't realize it used a desktop file
[22:25] <EriC^^> Exec= var="bla"; start steam
[22:25] <Cheaterman> Lemme try that
[22:25] <Cheaterman> Yep
[22:25] <Cheaterman> well
[22:25] <Cheaterman> exec env VAR=bla steam
[22:25] <Cheaterman> rather
[22:25] <linuxuz3r> hi
[22:30] <momomo> 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] <EriC^^> pressing the super key doesn't do that?
[22:32] <momomo> EriC^^, i think i disabled that long ago
[22:32] <Roots47> 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] <momomo> i need the super for something else
[22:32] <EriC^^> patrick__: kind of odd, i can't see your paste
[22:33] <patrick__> EriC^^: how about this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10098927/plain/
[22:33] <EriC^^> patrick__: this is mine for reference http://paste.ubuntu.com/10098926/
[22:34] <EriC^^> patrick__: if i add the /plain part it asks me to login, anyways it's the same as mine
[22:35] <EriC^^> patrick__: maybe try to reinstall unity-greeter ?
[22:35] <EriC^^> sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-greeter
[22:37] <skapism> 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] <yacc> Does anyone know if the normal (Android Aquarius E4.5 can be user-upgraded to Ubuntu
[22:37] <yacc> ?
[22:37] <tgm4883> 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] <patrick__> 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] <EriC^^> patrick__: it should already be there, you don't need an internet connection to reinstall it
[22:39] <skapism> 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] <jamie___> hey I have question about running firefox
[22:40] <k1l_> skapism: well, do you have guaranteed and shared ram?
[22:40] <skapism> 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] <patrick__> 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] <skapism> k1l_: I have 2 GiB guaranteed, yes, at least that is what my provider says.
[22:40] <nekyian> hey guys! I am trying to run mutillidae-vm and I get Vagrant:
[22:40] <nekyian> * Unknown configuration section 'berkshelf'.
[22:41] <jamie___> Has anyone here have problems running a live stream on firefox
[22:41] <k1l_> skapism: on openvz all hardware is shared. so i would talk to the hoster if there is something not working well
[22:41] <EriC^^> patrick__: hmm which ubuntu is it?
[22:41] <patrick__> 14.04
[22:41] <EriC^^> unity right?
[22:41] <patrick__> yes
[22:41] <EriC^^> that's odd, it reinstalled fine here
[22:42] <EriC^^> patrick__: type apt-cache policy unity-greeter
[22:42] <skapism> 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] <skapism> k1l_: also, I had another OS installed before on this node, and it didn't display such a behaviour
[22:43] <k1l_> 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] <skapism> k1l_: is there possibly any log of this somewhere? I looked through various logs and couldn't find anything
[22:44] <k1l_> syslog. or the webserver log if that is the one with the issue
[22:44] <patrick__> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10099039/
[22:45] <EriC^^> patrick__: can you get an internet connection on that machine?
[22:45] <patrick__> EriC^^: No
[22:46] <Mr-Potter> Funny how the British keyboard layout only works if you add the American one?
[22:46] <EriC^^> patrick__: can you type this gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | grep "Package: unity-greeter"
[22:46] <EriC^^> patrick__: also, cat /etc/issue
[22:48] <patrick__> EriC^^: output of the former command is: Package: unity-greeter
[22:48] <skapism> 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] <patrick__> EriC^^: output of the latter is: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l
[22:48] <k1l_> skapism: that depends heavily on your programs that use the ram.
[22:49] <EriC^^> patrick__: ok, that means it was supposedly installed when ubuntu was installed ( or should have been )
[22:49] <agent_white> skapism: Also check `dmesg` for more info about your oom issue.
[22:50] <EriC^^> patrick__: type ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep unity-greeter
[22:51] <skapism> agent_white: thank you, though dmesg returns without any output.
[22:51] <patrick__> EriC^^: no results
[22:52] <k1l_> 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] <agent_white> skapism: That's odd...
[22:53] <EriC^^> patrick__: ok, i guess you'll have to install it from another machine
[22:53] <k1l_> skapism: and the empty dmesg is a limitation of openvz when its setup like that
[22:53] <Abubakar-al-Fari> Salamalekoum Ubuntu
[22:54] <patrick__> EriC^^: alright, will do.
[22:54] <skapism> k1l_: yeah, it sounds plausible to me, I'm just concerned that memory usage changed so suddenly after I switched installations.
[22:54] <Guest17848> problem using mysql workbench
[22:54] <k1l_> skapism: you dont know what the other VPSs on that host do now
[22:55] <skapism> 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] <k1l_> skapism: well, see what uses your ram and see if you could tweak that
[22:57] <skapism> k1l_: well, the only thing I haven't migrated was my old mysql configuration...
[22:57] <skapism> I guess that could have a significant influence on ram behaviour
[22:57] <Matthew> Heeeeeeeeeeey veados
[23:00] <skapism> Well, thanks for the help, I will look into the sql configuration again.
[23:06] <linuxator> modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'lirc_serial': Key has expired,how to fix this?
[23:07] <momoterr> got a virus on my ubuntu server on digital ocean :(
[23:07] <momoterr> fuck
[23:08] <OerHeks> !language | momoterr
[23:08] <Slig> I briefly switched my video card from an AMD to a Nvidia and back. Re-installing catalyst is fine but unity only shows my wallpaper
[23:10] <OerHeks> Slig, how did you reinstall catalist??
[23:10] <Slig> via the .run from their website
[23:10] <Roots47> 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] <OerHeks> Slig oh, we recommend the driver from softwarecenter, not the .run
[23:11] <Slig> I tried the open source driver but it had the same problem. Installing via the .runs has always worked in the past
[23:11] <Roots47> Duh, had to open a new terminal session...
[23:11] <momoterr> hey guys i have this file called obgiwkjemj in /usr/bin/ and /usr/bin/X11/
[23:11] <momoterr> it looks like its sending ddos
[23:12] <momoterr> how do i know how i got compromoised and what to do to protect
[23:14] <Slig> I previously used that driver which I installed via the .run so it should work again.
[23:14] <insonikum> has anyone run ubuntu on google compute engine?
[23:15] <insonikum> I'm looking into the feasibility of running a game engine on it for remote desktop acess
[23:16] <doctorly> Hi I am getting a lang error in sublime text. It wants me to have my $lang set to en_US.UTF-8. I am not entirely sure what is going on because when I "echo $LANG" I get a blank response.
[23:17] <k1l_> momoterr: you got a desktop running on your server?
[23:17] <momoterr> no
[23:17] <SchrodingersScat> doctorly: $LANG and $lang are different in bash, idk sublime though, just that those would be different variables.
[23:17] <momoterr> just command line
[23:17] <momoterr> not sure what to do i ran tops
[23:18] <doctorly> SchrodingersScat: they actually both return with blank lines
[23:18] <momoterr> 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] <momoterr> i run ls -l on the the that file
[23:18] <SchrodingersScat> doctorly: could try export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
[23:18] <k1l_> momoterr: so what is that file? whats in it?
[23:19] <momoterr> its running
[23:19] <momoterr> i dont know
[23:19] <momoterr> i think its a program that sends out ddos
[23:19] <doctorly> 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] <m1dnight_> is it possible for ubuntu server to jump to readonly fs (/) without rebooting?
[23:20] <k1l_> can you pastebinit the content?
[23:20] <Lockzi> Hello, I am trying to get pm-hibernate working without password on Ubuntu 14.04
[23:20] <m1dnight_> Im having that issue but it seems to be fixed now
[23:20] <doctorly> nvm
[23:20] <k1l_> m1dnight_: ubuntu does that when that partition/hdd errors
[23:20] <Lockzi> I’ve added: %sudo   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
[23:20] <Lockzi> %sudo   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action
[23:20] <SchrodingersScat> doctorly: not sure, is shown when i check 'locale' though
[23:20] <doctorly> locale -a is returning the right value, I have no idea what is going on
[23:21] <m1dnight_> k1l_: so it can do that at runtime?
[23:21] <momoterr> how do i figure out how /usr/bin/obgiwkjemj was installed
[23:21] <m1dnight_> Then I have a problem.. :p
[23:21] <k1l_> m1dnight_: of course
[23:21] <Lockzi> 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] <m1dnight_> my server seems to be doing it every so often and I can't figure out why
[23:21] <k1l_> momoterr: what is in that file?
[23:22] <k1l_> m1dnight_: see the logs whats happening. like "dmesg"
[23:22] <m1dnight_> im checking them now
[23:22] <Neldogz> Why is it that Ubuntu cannot read 50% of movie DVD's ?
[23:22] <m1dnight_> anything in particular i might be looking for, k1l_ ?
[23:22] <k1l_> m1dnight_: the /dev/sdXY you are talking about
[23:22] <SchrodingersScat> !dvd | Neldogz related to this?
[23:23] <k1l_> Neldogz: its the dvd industrie preventing you from doing piracy :/
[23:23] <Neldogz> guys I have the restricted extras installed
[23:23] <Neldogz> I can watch my DVD's in Windows just fine, why not Ubuntu?
[23:23] <k1l_> Neldogz: see the links, you need a special codec
[23:23] <k1l_> Neldogz: its answered. read the links
[23:23] <Neldogz> k1l_, i will check it out
[23:24] <OerHeks> Neldogz, fact is, not all dvd's will work.
[23:24] <m1dnight_>  ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000000428-0x000000000000042f SystemIO conflicts with Region \PMIO 1 (20131115/utaddress-251)
[23:24] <m1dnight_> I have a few of these, k1l_
[23:25] <Neldogz> I have libdvdcss installed.
[23:25] <Neldogz> So on an Ubuntu system i can only play some of my NetFlix DVD's and not all ... not very sexy
[23:26] <k1l_> netflix DvDs? or do you mean steams?
[23:26] <Neldogz> Actual NetFLix DVD's .. some play some wont even so much mount
[23:27] <Neldogz> I thought it was my DVD drive so i ordered a new one.. same problem
[23:27] <Neldogz> However, in Windows they work fine
[23:27] <Neldogz> I can't be the only one having this problem.. anyone else here?
[23:28] <SchrodingersScat> did you read the rest of that link? says something about a libdvdread4 and then running a script, I wouldn't know, it's been ages since I touched a dvd
[23:29] <OerHeks> Neldogz,known issue :  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs > "There's a chance that even after installing libdvdcss, some of your DVD's still won't play."
[23:30] <OerHeks> Neldogz, maybe it is in Blue Ray format on dvd .. who can tell?
[23:32] <OerHeks> Neldogz, good test: try a stand-alone dvd player. if that does not work either, contact netflix
[23:34] <erikk> I need to create a new partition (taking some from my existing partition). How can I do this without a live disk or usb?
[23:34] <erikk> I found this: https://codesilence.wordpress.com/2013/03/14/live-resizing-of-an-ext4-filesytem-on-linux/
[23:36] <OerHeks> 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] <erikk> OerHeks: Are there any ways to do it without a live cd or usb?
[23:37] <erikk> At the moment, I have no dvd drive and no flash drives around
[23:37] <OerHeks> erikk, not that i know.
[23:37] <OerHeks> *of
[23:38] <erikk> OerHeks: Thanks
[23:38] <SchrodingersScat> chroot your swap space and do it from there?
[23:39] <erikk> I don't know how to do that, but I thought about something like that
[23:40] <erikk> I have separate really small partitions that the linux installer made for me
[23:40] <erikk> 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] <MonkeyDust> erikk  you can create partitions with dd if=blah of=blah (input file, output file), but the space is limited to 25GB
[23:44] <erikk> MonkeyDust: Why is that allowed but I can't just do it with GParted?
[23:45] <XwZ> hi folks, what is the difference for the sources.list in desktop and server distribution ?
[23:46] <MonkeyDust> erikk  it's: dd if=/dev/zero of=mydisk count=2048000   <= creates a disk of 1GB, change it as needed
[23:47] <XwZ> 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] <MonkeyDust> erikk  then: mkfs -t ext4 mydisk; mkdir ~/some_name;sudo mount -o loop mydisk ~/that_name
[23:48] <OerHeks> XwZ, there are no differences AFAIK, and for Vivid support, join #ubuntu+1 until release.
[23:48] <erikk> 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] <erikk> and replace ext4 with ntfs if I wantt hat?
[23:49] <XwZ> OerHeks: ok thank you
[23:49] <erikk> for 10 GB?
[23:49] <erikk> It is that simple?
[23:49] <MonkeyDust> erikk  yes, explore the options
[23:49] <SchrodingersScat> doesn't sound right to me, but k.
[23:49] <SchrodingersScat> oh, ok, second line
[23:49] <erikk> Thanks
[23:49] <OerHeks> erikk, MonkeyDust, this is on a live system?
[23:49] <erikk> OerHeks: Not live in terms of cd / dvd. Live as in an installed system
[23:50] <SchrodingersScat> still, that's just removing the first bit of the drive, yeah?
[23:52] <erikk> Is this safe?
[23:53] <SchrodingersScat> no
[23:53] <SchrodingersScat> !backups
[23:53] <MonkeyDust> 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] <Ben64> its hardly the same thing as creating a partition though
[23:54] <SchrodingersScat> mounting a file as a disk?
[23:54] <Ben64> right
[23:54] <Ben64> erikk: what are you actually trying to accomplish
[23:55] <erikk> Ben64: I have no dvd drive and no flash drives and would like to make an NTFS partition.
[23:55] <Ben64> for what purpose
[23:55] <erikk> Ben64: To try to put a Windows iso on it to try to install something from taht
[23:55] <MonkeyDust> erikk  maybe I misunderstood: what I suggest, creates mountable disk space, it does not create free space
[23:56] <votlon> hello all
[23:56] <Ben64> erikk: so you want to install windows on your computer?
[23:57] <erikk> Ben64: yeah
[23:57] <votlon> 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] <votlon> Tried most top google results but nothing has fixed it :/
[23:57] <Ben64> erikk: you'll probably need a dvd/usb join ##windows for windows support
[23:57] <k1l_> votlon: what happens?
[23:57] <erikk> Ben64: They really don't help with that stuff too much especially when it comes to licensing
[23:57] <erikk> Ben64: So at this stage, all I'd like to do is make an ntfs partition
[23:58] <Ben64> erikk: we're not going to help you pirate either
[23:58] <erikk> Ben64: I have an OEM key obtained from my laptop
[23:58] <votlon> 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] <erikk> Ben64: I am going to use this on a Windows 8 iso downloaded from microsoft.com
[23:58] <Ben64> sounds like piracy, ask microsoft
[23:59] <votlon> they give evals for free ben :3
[23:59] <votlon> 90 days of free use ;)
[23:59] <erikk> Ben64: All I'm trying to do is figure out how to make an ntfs partition
[23:59] <erikk> votlon: And if you have an OEM key, it might work permanently
[23:59] <Ben64> you can't without a livecd
[23:59] <erikk> Ben64: Unless you figure out some other way to do it
[23:59] <Ben64> nevertheless, windows is not on topic here
[23:59] <erikk> Ben64: Exactly. All I'm trying to do is make an ntfs partition
[23:59] <Ben64> you can't without a livecd
[23:59] <k1l_> 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] <erikk> But have neither a disk drive or a usb drive
