| paranoidi | hi, I have a question about how ubuntu kernels are maintained. I am running 14.04 drtbrt and considering using btrfs. Latest kernels and tools have quite a bit fixes for that, are those backported into LTS kernel & tools? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| kiwiuser | hello folks, i wonder if anyone managed to get an optimus nvidia card work properly under ubuntu, whatever i tried, i couldn't solve this gpu driver problem. | 00:01 |
| k1l_ | paranoidi: they get heavy bug and security fixes. but you can use the newer backports kernel. | 00:02 |
| NymeriaFR | You should wait ubuntu 15.04 | 00:02 |
| k1l_ | paranoidi: see hardware enablement stack | 00:02 |
| k1l_ | kiwiuser: depends on the card build in your system | 00:03 |
| kiwiuser | it's a laptop with a gtx850m and also an integrated haswell gpu. | 00:03 |
| tunafish_ | lol, about my touchpad bug, it gets broken if you do a shutdown, but a reboot is is ok, it's a kernel bug, in mainline, tracked and fixed, though 3.18.6, still not fixed for me | 00:03 |
| k1l_ | kiwiuser: did you try the recent nvidia driver ubuntu ships in the repos? | 00:04 |
| daftykins | kiwiuser: you need to install nvidia-prime along with some new nvidia drivers | 00:05 |
| kostkon | paranoidi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support | 00:05 |
| kiwiuser | i did twice. since the additional drivers gave me a blank page i went and grabbed the latest one in the repos with synaptic which then i had to reinstall system afterwards. | 00:05 |
| kostkon | !mainline | paranoidi, also this | 00:06 |
| ubottu | paranoidi, also this: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 00:06 |
| paranoidi | darn, wrong key :) ... | 00:06 |
| k1l_ | kiwiuser: wich ubuntu exactly? | 00:06 |
| kiwiuser | then i tried nvidia-prime with the latest drivers again but that also gave me almost worse performance than i get on integrated card with nouveau. | 00:06 |
| kiwiuser | 14.04 LTS | 00:06 |
| redemptionsong | I'm trying to think of a good appliacation to use for making a 2 sided resume (one side infographic, the other side traditional). Any ideas? | 00:06 |
| paranoidi | yeah, I saw the LTSEnablement thingy, which ofcourse allows me to run quite a bit newer kernel .. I can probably install btrfs-tools from same release as well | 00:07 |
| redemptionsong | Problem is, I don't know any graphic/editing software well enough to do much, it would take a bit of investment in time. And I don't have time to screw around. | 00:08 |
| dracken008 | , | 00:08 |
| redemptionsong | Kinda need something that is known will certainly work so I can be confident putting the learning curve into it, knowing the goal can be acheived w/ that software | 00:09 |
| paranoidi | kostkon: I tried to install v3.18.6-vivid kernel at some point but it did not succeed | 00:10 |
| kostkon | paranoidi, where did you get it from | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | paranoidi: vivid is still in development. best bet is to use the enablement stack if you want stablenes (which you want since you use 14.04) | 00:11 |
| kiwiuser | the current situation is that i can use nvidia-prime along with nvidia-331 and a little system tray indicator, to switch between cards, with a logoff. | 00:12 |
| kiwiuser | i thought i'd get better performance with the nvidia gpu but obviously i don't | 00:12 |
| paranoidi | k1l_: yeah, the general recommendation around with btrfs has been to run latest kernel & tools you can ... | 00:13 |
| kiwiuser | with the nvidia gpu, i have excessive screen tearing in games, unity, and any application. almost all the time. it looks like the integrated card + nouveau performs better than the 850m + nvidia-prime | 00:14 |
| k1l_ | kiwiuser: well, you could try if a more recent driver from the xorg edgers ppa or the nvidia website suit you better. but that is on your own responsibility then. | 00:15 |
| est31 | Hi, my ALL my text editors are crazy: when I add something to a file, git diff shows me that I added an ^M (in c you would write \r) to the line's end. I dont want this windows bullshit. Just a \n is enough | 00:17 |
| est31 | vim kate and some custom markdown editor | 00:17 |
| est31 | and the partition is EXT4 | 00:17 |
| est31 | The whole computer never came close to any windows in the last 3 years | 00:17 |
| kbw | Hi. I'm trying to connect to my ARM device using a TTL with the 'pl2303' driver. The command I used was 'cu -s 115200 -l /dev/ttyUSB0 | 00:18 |
| kiwiuser | k1l_: i see, i'll take a look at it then. its bit annoying not being able to use a card properly. on my desktop i have zero problem with an nvidia 560ti and nvidia-331 drivers -.- | 00:18 |
| dlduvio | kiwiuser: try messing with the v-sync setting in the nvidia settings program (which should be installed by default when installing a nvidia driver) I've had issues with conflict between the vysnc from the nvidia driver and the vsync from the compositor | 00:18 |
| kbw | The error I get is: | 00:19 |
| kbw | cu: open (/dev/ttyUSB0): Permission denied | 00:19 |
| kbw | cu: /dev/ttyUSB0: Line in use | 00:19 |
| k1l_ | est31: some iso or "dos" fileformat? | 00:19 |
| dlduvio | sometimes it works to just turn it off from the nvidia settings and let the compositor or game do the rest | 00:19 |
| est31 | its an .md file on an ext4 partition | 00:19 |
| est31 | what is the fileformat? | 00:19 |
| k1l_ | kiwiuser: maybe your card is "too new" | 00:19 |
| kiwiuser | dlduvio: i'll try that thanks a lot | 00:19 |
| dlduvio | kiwiuser: no problem. Also, be careful with xorg-edgers ppa. I've had plenty issues with them in the past. I usually just do a manual install of the nvidia driver if I want the newest. Seems to work better, despite having to reinstall everytime I get a kernel update/upgrade | 00:20 |
| k1l_ | est31: its markdown fileending | 00:21 |
| kiwiuser | k1l_: that may be the problem, true. i'll try to sort it out nonetheless. thank you for the advice :) | 00:21 |
| michaelgamble | hey all' | 00:21 |
| dlduvio | hello | 00:21 |
| kiwiuser | dlduvio: alrighty sir, thanks for the heads-up :) | 00:21 |
| k1l_ | est31: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ or https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/ | 00:22 |
| est31 | k1l_: ok found out what the issue was, its just the way the file is formatted. | 00:22 |
| michaelgamble | im a bit new to ubuntu, and i just downloaded an app that apparently runs as soon as i double click the program file in the downloads folder (assumed it would be an installer script or something but wasnt) | 00:22 |
| est31 | so the text editor sees the LF CR and then thinks: oh we add some of our own to not break the fil | 00:22 |
| michaelgamble | SO my question, what directory should i put it in to keep perminantly | 00:22 |
| est31 | e | 00:22 |
| dlduvio | michaelgamble: what's the program? | 00:22 |
| michaelgamble | popcorn time | 00:22 |
| michaelgamble | popcorntime.io | 00:22 |
| est31 | and it is LF CR not CR LF | 00:23 |
| michaelgamble | it works great, just not sure what the best practice is for where this file should live | 00:23 |
| k1l_ | michaelgamble: if its just for your user: make one in your users home directory | 00:23 |
| dlduvio | michaelgamble: use the ppa. hold on, I'll link instructions | 00:23 |
| darkvi0let | hi can anyone help me with an desktop issue | 00:23 |
| dlduvio | http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/06/install-netflix-alternative-popcorn-time-in-ubuntu-14-04/ | 00:23 |
| kostkon | michaelgamble, what kind of app. which one | 00:24 |
| michaelgamble | its the popcorntime.io | 00:24 |
| dlduvio | what's the issue darkvi0let? | 00:24 |
| michaelgamble | on thier website they have a link to directly download a .tar | 00:24 |
| darkvi0let | my wallpaper keeps reseting every time i restart | 00:24 |
| darkvi0let | everything else is intact but that | 00:24 |
| michaelgamble | diduvio why go that route as supposed to just using what they link to download off the official website? | 00:24 |
| dlduvio | Well, as far as I know, the popcorn time project is dead, but I could be wrong. Anyways, by using the ppa, it will be updated automatically and be presented as a desktop application instead of having to search for it in the files | 00:26 |
| craigbass1976 | I've got a linux partition, but cn't mount it with mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1/ /mnt/ I'm getting wrong fs type, blahblah, tried it with ext3 (because this was ubuntu 12.04 I think, or 10.04) and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? | 00:26 |
| michaelgamble | it seems alive and well | 00:26 |
| michaelgamble | i think its died and resurrected a few times | 00:26 |
| dlduvio | well, it's github project hasn't had any progress since march of last year and their official website is popcornti.me, which explains why the project was cut | 00:27 |
| craigbass1976 | I don't see anything in syslog or dmesg scroll by while tail -f is running in either one | 00:27 |
| michaelgamble | k1l_ would it maybe make sense to stick it in my usr/bin or /bin directory if i were to use the download instead of the ppa? | 00:27 |
| kostkon | michaelgamble, the ppa looks safe enough. I mean it only contains popcorntime so it won't mess up your system | 00:27 |
| kostkon | michaelgamble, https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/popcorntime | 00:28 |
| k1l_ | michaelgamble: no. | 00:28 |
| k1l_ | michaelgamble: you can make a "bin" folder in your home and put it there. so it will be put into $PATH after relogin | 00:28 |
| dlduvio | nevermind. It looks like the project may be alive again, just not using github. | 00:28 |
| kostkon | michaelgamble, best place to put it in is /opt and then create a custom desktop file for it | 00:31 |
| michaelgamble | there is nothing currently in my opt folder | 00:32 |
| michaelgamble | is that normal? | 00:32 |
| kostkon | michaelgamble, makes no difference | 00:32 |
| ikonia | yes | 00:32 |
| michaelgamble | k cool | 00:33 |
| ikonia | you'll be a lot better using a PPA | 00:33 |
| ikonia | that way it's packaged correctly | 00:33 |
| ikonia | it will bring in any dependencies | 00:33 |
| ikonia | and it can be removed if you don't like it | 00:33 |

| ikonia | ubuntu should offer you one | 00:49 |
| finishingmove | dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia shows nothing | 00:49 |
| ikonia | no | 00:49 |
| ikonia | thats not "offering" anything | 00:49 |
| ikonia | you should get offered either the open noveu or propritary binary blob | 00:49 |
| finishingmove | I also have intel graphics which is currently active so maybe that's why? | 00:49 |
| ikonia | finishingmove: yes, the optimus chipset is often a problem | 00:50 |
| === Guest61601 is now known as bazhang | ||
| finishingmove | I can see on the ubuntu wiki that they recommend installing nvidia-331 for 14.04, but I am unsure as to whether I have to uninstall anything before that | 00:51 |
| finishingmove | dpkg --get-selections | grep nouveau , shows "libdrm-nouveau2:amd64" and "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" | 00:52 |
| ikonia | you shouldn't need to remove them | 00:52 |
| ikonia | just not "use" them | 00:52 |
| k1l_ | finishingmove: open the system settings: software and updates. then go to last tab. | 00:52 |
| finishingmove | it says "no additional drivers available" | 00:52 |
| ikonia | because you're using the nvidia chip | 00:53 |
| k1l_ | is this a laptop? | 00:53 |
| ikonia | it won't know about the nvidia one until you use it | 00:53 |
| ikonia | that is the pain of optimus | 00:53 |
| finishingmove | it's a lenovo laptop, yes | 00:53 |

| okamis_ | Hi, I'm wondering what the full url should be for the package tinyos-tools found in http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian-save/dists/squeeze.old/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 00:54 |
| ikonia | thats for debian | 00:54 |
| ikonia | so you shouldn't be using it | 00:54 |
| finishingmove | yesterday, I've tried installing "nvidia-340" and using "nvidia-settings" to set the system to use the nvidia card, but at the login, I see a dark screen and just hear the login sound | 00:55 |
| finishingmove | after that I tried some other driver, and ended up re-installing ubuntu | 00:55 |
| finishingmove | so now I'm here wondering what's the proper course of action | 00:55 |
| ikonia | you need to enable the nvidia card | 00:56 |

| k1l_ | some d rivers require nomodeset as boot kernel parameter | 00:56 |
| ikonia | okamis_: you do - the choice is to not use it | 00:56 |
| okamis_ | Well, I need it | 00:56 |
| ikonia | okamis_: then we can't help you - debian packages are not designed for ubuntu or supported | 00:56 |
| okamis_ | I'm just asking for the path to the file, " Filename: pool/main/t/tinyos-tools/tinyos-tools_1.2.4-20111126_amd64.deb " but what is the pre url? | 00:57 |
| ikonia | okamis_: thats a web url | 00:57 |

| Solo456 | Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Gnome --> How does one set up the mouse wheel to scroll one screen at a time? | 00:59 |
| finishingmove | ikonia: I've heard about bumblebee, but after some research, it seems that packages like "nvidia-340" come with "nvidia-settings" and "nvidia-prime" as dependencies, and from what I see, they serve the same purpose as bumblebee, and seem like bumblebee's successors in a way | 00:59 |
| bazhang | Solo456, do you mean with the gnome-shell extension alt-tab coverflow | 01:00 |
| okamis_ | If I understand my problem correctly, I need the older version to be compatible with my professors thesis | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | finishingmove: I "think" the 840m takes the 346 drivers - not available yet in our repo, See: https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia for a driver, and as well optimus requires nvidia-prime and nvidia-settings . | 01:00 |
| Solo456 | No, I mean how can I scroll one screen at a time globally in Ubuntu | 01:00 |
| bazhang | Solo456, presumably you m,ean workspace for screen | 01:00 |
| Solo456 | Whether I'm in a /pdf, browser screen, text.. etc... | 01:01 |
| finishingmove | Bashing-om: so installing nvidia-346 and using nvidia-settings to set the graphics mode should work for my card? | 01:01 |
| === pl1x_ is now known as pl1x | ||
| Solo456 | No, I do NOY mean switching between workspaces | 01:01 |
| Solo456 | *NOT | 01:01 |
| ikonia | then what is the "screen" you mean ? | 01:01 |
| bazhang | not clear what you mean then Solo456 , is that multiple open windows? | 01:01 |
| Solo456 | For example... this screen in Hexchat. It scrolls one line at a time... worthless. If I was in vim or emacs, tht makes sense, but an internet browser screen? Give me a break. No one reads that slow | 01:02 |
| Bashing-om | finishingmove: Yeah, in essence,I am not sure thst installling the driver from the PPA will also install nvidia-prime and nvidia-settings. Check -> dpkg -l "nvidia-*" <- after the driver is installed . | 01:02 |
| Solo456 | bazhang, for instance, I'm reading a news page in an internet browser. I turn the weheel and the page scrolls down a SINGLE line of text. Is there no way to get a mouse wheel to screen one page at a time in Ubuntu? | 01:04 |
| ikonia | Solo456: you could try increasing the scroll wheel sensitivity | 01:05 |
| ikonia | so a scroll function is more agressive | 01:05 |
| finishingmove | Bashing-om: ok, thanks for the PPA, I'll give it a go now | 01:05 |
| Bashing-om | finishingmove: :) I have seen that PPA recommneded for your card ( ubuntuforums). | 01:06 |
| Solo456 | ikonia, thanks, I tried that but it has no effect at all on the scroll wheel of the mouse | 01:08 |
| ikonia | Solo456: I've seen it make scrolling more agressive | 01:09 |
| ikonia | but not specific to one page per move | 01:09 |
| Solo456 | It only affects the pointer sensitivity, however maybe we are talking about different things. I went into the control center to make changes, where else should I look? | 01:10 |
| ikonia | not sure in the current unity setup | 01:10 |
| ikonia | there was certainly a wheel sensitivity setting at one point | 01:10 |
| Solo456 | I just find it unbelievable that MS figured this out in W98SE and even Mac OSX allows one to dump the useless 1 button mouse for a real mouse with 5+ buttons and a scroll wheel, but Ubuntu hasn't... | 01:11 |
| ikonia | Unity is still a developing desktop experience | 01:12 |
| Solo456 | ikonia: you got that right | 01:12 |
| ikonia | I've never seen your requirement before | 01:12 |
| ikonia | so perhaps it's not been considered | 01:12 |
| ikonia | log a wish list item for it | 01:12 |
| === thomas_ is now known as Guest80271 | ||
| Solo456 | Maybe I can link the mouse wheel to the <page up> and <page down> keys on my kb???? hmmm | 01:14 |
| ikonia | that seems quite overkill and won't really fix things going forward | 01:14 |
| ikonia | I'd really suggest a wish list feature being logged | 01:14 |
| Solo456 | Well, I don't see why not. It's not like Ubuntu uses the mouse wheel for anything else. | 01:14 |
| ikonia | I've never heard of your request before, so certainly worth getting it noted if others haven't | 01:14 |
| ikonia | I've never heard a need to make the scroll more lines per movement | 01:15 |
| ikonia | so log it | 01:15 |
| Djohaal | greetings, i'm encoutnering some issues with keymapping when configuring my OS | 01:15 |
| Solo456 | thanks for your time, ikonia. Will do. | 01:16 |
| Djohaal | specifically I need to have separate bindings for left and right ALT keys, because I'm using a program that interprets them differently =p | 01:16 |
| finishingmove | Bashing-om: so, I installed nvidia-346 (it installed nvidia-settings and nvidia-prime), and restarted. Now on the additional drivers tab, I see a choice between xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and nvidia-340 (why is it not nvidia-346?), with the nouveau driver being selected by default | 01:16 |

| ktchv_ | hi guys, i have very uncomfortable problem: there is an encrypted lvm on my notebook. and i've got my passpharse unsecure and decided to change it. i've succesfully set up a new passpharse and removed old one using cryptsetup luksAddkey and luksRemoveKey. and just before reboot decided to check it: now i'm running a notebook with encrypted lvm with unknown passphrase because i've mad some typo and can't bruteforce it back. what do? | 01:40 |
| arthurfiggis | hello! i hope this isn't too off-topic, if so i'll join the appropriate channel :) but just curious...anyone testing out the windows 10 previews and ubuntu together in a dual-boot configuration, is it possible to set up/working? i'm considering dual booting windows and ubuntu since the steam games i've bought seem to work better in windows...but if w10 and ubuntu don't play nice together, no point :( | 01:42 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: very foolish to use a preview as a daily driver i would say | 01:43 |
| NikolaiToryzin | ktchv_: The thing about encryption is that if you forget a passphrase you're screwed | 01:43 |
| teward | arthurfiggis: kinda foolish to test that with something that changes rapidly - it's a preview for a reason, once it's got an rc or something then maybe | 01:44 |
| ktchv_ | NikolaiToryzin: no chance to bring old passpharse back? it looks like a 'disabled' in key list | 01:45 |
| ktchv_ | before i reboot | 01:45 |
| ubuntu | whaaa | 01:46 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest45373 | ||
| arthurfiggis | teward: oh, i'm not intending to use windows 10 previews for daily use :) i'm going to install windows 7 as that's what came with the PC...I was just wondering if anyone had tried it with w10 and experienced problems | 01:47 |
| arthurfiggis | but true, until it's getting close to being finally released i guess there's not much you can tell | 01:47 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: that'd be a triple boot then? lots of disk space wasted really | 01:48 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: what i was thinking on doing was upgrading to windows 10 when it comes out, as in my case it would be a free upgrade :) but i don't want to bother if it won't play nice with ubuntu as that's my preferred OS | 01:49 |
| NikolaiToryzin | arthurfiggis, Quick mention, Windows 7 fell out of mainstream support a month ago. | 01:49 |
| === kodumulo is now known as tjgillies | ||
| arthurfiggis | NikolaiToryzin, I see :( hmm...probably not worth the trouble setting that up in a dual boot config if it's not supported then | 01:50 |
| daftykins | NikolaiToryzin: right, but extended support goes on until like 2020... why are we discussing Windows support in #ubuntu O_O | 01:50 |
| NikolaiToryzin | daftykins, No one knows | 01:50 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: sorry, if it's too offtopic i will join the other channel :/ i just figured that maybe someone here had tried dual booting the two just to test it out and asked, sorry | 01:50 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: anyway, a 7 -> 10 upgrade could trash GRUB and leave you in a fun setup, i would say stick to what works and use virtualbox or another virt tech for any other OS you want to play with | 01:50 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: oh, it'd almost certainly trash grub, so if i did upgrade i'd have to install windows 7...upgrade from that, then install ubuntu and hope that it dual boots :) i guess there's no one about that's tried it with the previews, ah well...worth a try anyway | 01:51 |
| daftykins | well no you'd just reinstall GRUB, 'cause 10 might boot | 01:52 |
| daftykins | yeah, plus there's the angle of EFI to add into the mix | 01:52 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: ahh yes, that's true, i think i have a page bookmarked on how to "save" grub if windows' bootloader blows it away | 01:52 |
| daftykins | !grub | 01:53 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 01:53 |

| CuongDANG | My Dell Studio 1535, Ubuntu 14.04 63 bits: I have a problem that after using it for a while, the screen becomes black and see nothing. | 01:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | !patience | 01:54 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 01:54 |
| arthurfiggis | ah well, 20+ games i have that are available for steam on linux and they work well in ubuntu (with the exception of dying light, but that's just buggy as all...something anyway :P) maybe i should just stick with what's already working! | 01:54 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: apologies again for drifting a bit offtopic but i appreciate the links, at least if i give it a try and break something i'll know how to fix it ;) | 01:56 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: no problemo, for what it's worth a clean install of Windows is always best anyway, although in a dualboot setup with Windows at the 'start' of the disk, you could wipe "C:" and reinstall 10, then restore GRUB so that ubuntu is never harmed :) | 01:57 |
| OerHeks | CuongDANG, check system settings > brightness & lock | 01:57 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: oh, absolutely...no matter what way i'd run it, i'd install windows first, make sure it's _completely_ updated and then install ubuntu, the other way around is just a pain...was hoping that maybe someone had taken the plunge and tried it with a w10 preview but i guess i'll have to wait until it's actually finished before i can figure that one out :) | 01:58 |
| [RO]Daniel | ktchv_, try this http://superuser.com/questions/431820/how-to-change-pass-phrase-of-full-disk-encryption | 01:58 |
| arthurfiggis | (i.e. if windows 10 wouldn't allow me to install ubuntu, resize partitions and dual boot, then it can take a hike :P) | 01:58 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, it became black suddenly even I was using it, not because of screensaver. | 01:59 |
| arthurfiggis | CuongDANG, could it possibly be power saving settings acting up? that's the only other thing i can think of that would automatically blank the screen after a certain period, might be worth a try turning it off entirely | 01:59 |
| daftykins | arthurfiggis: you know every windows installer allows you to install to a specific partition size? you can skip the resize step :) | 01:59 |
| arthurfiggis | daftykins: aha...well that's even better, plus it'd save on the "whoops your partition appears to be broken, time for chkdsk" bit :P | 02:00 |
| CuongDANG | I think I had something wrong with graphics or lightdm or somethings | 02:00 |
| OerHeks | CuongDANG, touching your laptopscreen, does that bring the screen back? then it is a hardware issue | 02:01 |
| craigbass1976 | When I try to mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt , I'm getting "can't read superblock" this is after an fsck that ends in fsck.ext4: e2fsck_read_bitmaps: illegal bitmap block(s) for /dev/sda1 | 02:01 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, no sir, it does not bring the screen back. | 02:02 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: you can try scanning for alternative backup superblocks and using one as a new reference point, very risky though | 02:02 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, what I can do is to turn off the laptop with power button, and restart it | 02:03 |
| OerHeks | CuongDANG, going black while working seems no software issue to me :-( | 02:04 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, the previous Ubuntu version works well, no such issue | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | CuongDANG, i cannot find simular bugreports yet | 02:06 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, and Windows Vista works well with it. So I think not because of hardware, but something wrong with the graphic cards dirver something... | 02:07 |
| CuongDANG | 0erHeks, yes many thanks for your help | 02:07 |
| OerHeks | CuongDANG, file a bugreport, might help find a solution. | 02:08 |
| k1l_ | CuongDANG: did you look into the logs if there is something usefull= | 02:09 |
| k1l_ | ? | 02:09 |
| CuongDANG | k1l_, which logs? | 02:09 |
| k1l_ | like dmesg or syslog. but after a reboot they get cycled to .0 or .1 in /var /log | 02:10 |
| k1l_ | */var/log | 02:10 |
| craigbass1976 | daftykins: is there a way to copy this off and work on that instead of the original? Man, all I need is five or six sql dumps (already dumped, just need the files) and my apache directory... | 02:10 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: running the fsck has already modified things :S but yes, you could clonezilla to an image file and work on that | 02:11 |
| daftykins | or ddrescue, depends what your file system is fried from | 02:11 |
| daftykins | craigbass1976: is it bad sectors, or? | 02:11 |
| craigbass1976 | I don't know. | 02:12 |
| craigbass1976 | daftykins: ^^ | 02:13 |

| craigbass1976 | daftykins: there's no way to force a mount just to see what I can somehow? | 02:32 |

| craigbass1976 | I'd like to run something like sudo e2fsck -b block_number /dev/xxx, but fsck keesp dying when I answer yes to certain questions. Answering yes to any of these: Inode xyz has an invalid extent node, Inode xys has zero length extent, and Inode xyz is a zero-length directory, Results in FSK stopping with a "fsck.ext4: e2fsck_read_bitmaps: illegal bitmap block(s) for /dev/sda1" message | 04:29 |

| daftykins | craigbass1976: image it up away from that Dell RAID card and work on the image, something fishy is going on there. also query its' SMART info away from the RAID card too | 04:30 |
| nicomachus | hmmm... cheapie PLoP booted up fine, I selected boot from USB, but now I just have a black screen. | 04:30 |
| moose-machine-ar | hello everyone. my pastebin explaining my grief :( http://pastebin.com/cZZ7Cn7n thanks a lot. :) | 04:30 |

| ddn | hi all, my upgraded ubuntu 14 stopped printing in my usb canon printer, now is says disabling irq #18 when booting, solutions? | 04:31 |
| nicomachus | it should be valid, I used it a few weeks ago... didn't check it just now because the only other machine I can check it on is this laptop that I'm using for support. haha | 04:31 |
| nicomachus | gonna try another port.. | 04:32 |
| bytes | Hey! I'm having an issue with my laptop and xubuntu. I've installed it and afterwards its stating to insert a Boot Device | 04:32 |
| bytes | here's the paste i got from the boot repair program i used: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10120160/ | 04:32 |
| nicomachus | sounds like you didn't install it, bytes. | 04:32 |
| moose-machine-ar | in addition to http://pastebin.com/cZZ7Cn7n, i also tried setting the maximum limit to the mtr in for my wlo1 in ifconfig. it didn't make any difference either. :( | 04:32 |
| bytes | I did, I loaded up the live cd adn checked the drive, all the files are there | 04:32 |
| bytes | i have secure boot on | 04:32 |
| bytes | and ubuntu should work with it | 04:33 |
| daftykins | moose-machine-ar: using network manager, go in and edit your connection details specifying your IP, netmask, gateway and DNS server IP addresses manually to see if it clears it up | 04:33 |
| cheapie | bytes: Did you by any chance say no to a question asking if you wanted to install GRUB to the MBR? | 04:33 |
| daftykins | moose-machine-ar: test with opendns.com of 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222 or google's DNS of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 04:33 |
| bytes | cheapie, i don't recall doing that | 04:34 |
| bytes | before trying ubuntu i tried isntalling debian | 04:34 |
| bytes | and there i just used the full disk guided procedure | 04:34 |
| bytes | and i feel it may have messed up the EFI system.. | 04:34 |
| cheapie | bytes: Which disk did you install to? sda or sdb? | 04:34 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: ok. thanks a lot. trying. | 04:34 |
| bytes | i'm not entirely sure about that, i believe sda | 04:34 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, try opening a terminal and doing "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" and see what happens. | 04:35 |
| ddn | hi all, my upgraded ubuntu 14 stopped printing in my usb canon printer, now is says disabling irq #18 when booting, solutions? | 04:35 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: you mean that i should change the DNS address from 192.168.1.2 to 8.8.8.8 (for example)? | 04:35 |
| bytes | cheapie, what should i use to open the terminal? a live cd/ | 04:35 |
| nicomachus | I guess it was a bad USB, cheapie, this Mint usb is booting up just fine. | 04:35 |
| daftykins | moose-machine-ar: correct, 1.1 surely if it was querying your router | 04:35 |
| cheapie | bytes: Yes, a Live CD. You may also need to specify something like "--target=x86_64-efi" as well. | 04:35 |
| daftykins | nicomachus: not Mint! *holds up crossed fingers* seriously though, that's not supported here of course :) | 04:36 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: ok. trying that out. | 04:36 |
| cheapie | bytes: It might get a little confused as to where to put some of the files, but hopefully it takes care of the missing part at least. | 04:36 |
| nicomachus | daftykins: I know! Sorry! Just to see if it'll boot and install. | 04:36 |
| cheapie | nicomachus: I'm in #linuxmint-help over on SpotChat too, if you break it. | 04:37 |
| daftykins | nicomachus: :) | 04:37 |
| nicomachus | I've been going back and forth between Mint and Ubuntu installs for the last two days. I'll probably pop in there at some point. I got a ton of great help there last night. | 04:37 |
| nicomachus | even though it ended up being an issue with my PSU and not any OS... | 04:38 |
| cheapie | I don't pay much attention to it, as I'm mostly only helpful for general Linux questions due to not having used Mint or Ubuntu for quite a while now (currently on Debian). | 04:38 |
| nicomachus | Well shit... same error I've gotten trying Ubuntu a couple times: "The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Error 5] Input/Output error | 04:40 |
| ddn | hi all, my upgraded ubuntu 14 stopped printing in my usb canon printer, now is says disabling irq #18 when booting, solutions? | 04:40 |
| cheapie | nicomachus: Can you take a look at /var/log/messages and see if there are any errors in there? | 04:40 |
| nicomachus | Due to a faulty CD/DVD drive (I'm using a usb) or a faulty hard disk (brand new, just isntalled today) | 04:40 |
| daftykins | ddn: are you just guessing they're related? | 04:40 |
| bytes | cheapie, it states it doesn't exist | 04:40 |
| cheapie | bytes: That what doesn't exist? grub-install? | 04:41 |
| bytes | "/usr/lib/grub/x86_65-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify target or directory" | 04:41 |
| bytes | i specified the target | 04:41 |
| cheapie | x86_64, not 65. | 04:41 |
| bytes | my bad, i typoed that | 04:42 |
| cheapie | Unless you got yourself a super-early prototype in-development Athlon 65 or something. Last time I checked, those don't exist. | 04:42 |
| bytes | i did put in 64 in the terminal | 04:42 |
| craigbass1976 | Ok... I've created a directory on a separate box called remote. Then on the box I'm trying to back up, I run sshfs user@theotherbox:/home/user/remote/ localdir/. Rather than the directory having the same ownership as the rest of the directories in ~/, it's got a userid and groupid of 1000. When I try to copy something into it, I get a permission denied | 04:42 |
| cheapie | OK, let me look up something. | 04:42 |
| * cheapie puts on some hold music | 04:42 | |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, (still in the live environment) install grub-efi-amd64. It'll probably want to remove a package or two, that's fine./ | 04:43 |
| ddn | daftykins, sorry I got lost here, who are related? | 04:43 |
| daftykins | ddn: your printing issue and the IRQ error, are you claiming they're related? | 04:43 |
| cheapie | daftykins: Some people are claiming that they see that message and their USB ports stop working. They may be related. | 04:45 |
| craigbass1976 | actually, I'm getting dd: failed to open ‘local/borked.iso’: Permission denied when running sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=local/borked.iso . I can touch files and create them in that directory, so maybe I'm just running dd wrong | 04:45 |
| cheapie | I also saw this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingIRQProblems | 04:45 |
| ddn | daftykins, I thinks because when I connected the printer usb cpu goes crazy up high and just now I see the "disabling irq #18" message on boot | 04:45 |
| daftykins | cheapie: yeah, i just wanted to get at whether there was a reason for the connection being made - there is a process here, don't worry. | 04:45 |
| cheapie | craigbass1976: I don't think normal users can directly read /dev/sda1. Are you running this as root? | 04:45 |
| craigbass1976 | cheapie: yep | 04:46 |
| daftykins | ddn: boot with it disconnected and see if the error persists, that'd help prove the connection to start with | 04:46 |
| cheapie | craigbass1976: Huh. Can you dd if=/dev/sda1 of=something else? | 04:46 |
| bytes | cheapie, alright i have it isntalled | 04:46 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, try "sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda1" again. | 04:47 |
| craigbass1976 | I don't know. I'm running off a livecd, so I have to be copying to some remote directory. | 04:47 |
| nicomachus | my HDD has no error reports in GSmartControl, so it must be the optical drive, right? but I'm only using that for PLoP | 04:47 |
| craigbass1976 | cheapie: ^^ | 04:47 |
| bytes | cheapie, "cannot find efi directory" | 04:47 |
| cheapie | nicomachus: If the live USB thing booted, it's not your optical drive's fault. | 04:48 |
| ddn | daftykins, always boot disconnected as this is a netbook moving around home | 04:48 |
| daftykins | ddn: ok so if you run "dmesg | tail", plug in the printer, then run it again - what do you see? | 04:48 |
| craigbass1976 | cheapie: Oh, you know what? If I sudo, I can't create a file in that directory... I've got to somehow give the live user permission to see sda1 | 04:48 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, you might have to chroot into the installation to do this. | 04:48 |
| cheapie | craigbass1976: That's probably it. | 04:48 |
| daftykins | nicomachus: have you ever memtest'd this thing? | 04:49 |
| bytes | cheapie, how would i go about getting into the installation? i have a copy of rEFInd if thats needed | 04:49 |
| daftykins | nicomachus: since your PSU woes | 04:50 |
| cheapie | bytes: Just a second, I'm typing up some instructions. | 04:50 |
| cheapie | bytes: Do you know which partitions are your root, boot, and EFI system? | 04:50 |
| daftykins | cheapie: we have !chroot if you need it | 04:50 |
| cheapie | !chroot | 04:50 |
| ubottu | A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 04:50 |
| bytes | cheapie, not entirely- no. | 04:51 |
| orbisvicis | are 8.04 packages still available ? | 04:51 |
| cheapie | daftykins: That's not quite what I want. | 04:51 |
| orbisvicis | (I need a gtk1 dev environment) | 04:51 |
| daftykins | cheapie: ok nm :> | 04:51 |
| daftykins | !8.04 | 04:51 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. | 04:51 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, can you run "sudo parted" (you may have to install it), then type "p" and pastebin what you get from it? | 04:51 |
| orbisvicis | yeah, but are the packages still in old-releases ? | 04:51 |
| orbisvicis | or wherever ? | 04:52 |
| daftykins | orbisvicis: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ | 04:52 |
| daftykins | yes. | 04:52 |
| daftykins | but what you're doing seems horrific? :) | 04:52 |
| daftykins | but then i'm no dev. | 04:52 |
| orbisvicis | daftykins: awesome | 04:52 |
| orbisvicis | daftykins: I just need to evaluate if this gtk1 program is worth the effort of porting | 04:52 |
| daftykins | roger that | 04:53 |
| orbisvicis | gonna boot it up in qemu | 04:53 |

| ddn | daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10120756/ | 04:54 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK. Become root (sudo -i will do the trick), then run these commands one at a time, stopping if you get an error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10120763/ | 04:54 |
| cheapie | bytes: Wait a second... | 04:54 |
| cheapie | bytes: Switch sda1 and sda2 in that, I got them backwards. | 04:55 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: hi. I have been trying various combinations, however neither opendns, nor google's dns makes any difference. the problem is still the same. | 04:57 |
| * cheapie finds and fixes the problem with his bootloader while he's poking around in parted | 04:58 | |
| * cheapie wonders how bytes is doing | 04:58 | |
| bytes | cheapie, sorry!- it worked | 04:58 |
| ddn | daftykins, right now it is printing and I have done nothing but downgrading the kernel yesterday night and it didn't worked | 04:58 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, you switched sda1 and sda2, right? And you're at a command prompt again? | 04:58 |
| daftykins | moose-machine-ar: sounds like wireless driver troubles to me then perhaps, 14.04 did you say? what's the wireless device? (open a terminal and run "lspci" and see if you spot network/ethernet controller) | 04:58 |
| ddn | daftykins, maybe the flue season :) | 04:58 |
| bytes | cheapie, correct | 04:59 |
| daftykins | ddn: hmm, seems it mounts a memory card when you plug the printer in | 04:59 |
| daftykins | ddn: so you booted the one-older-version last night and it made no difference, but today it works fine? | 04:59 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK. Try the "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi /dev/sda" again. You may have to install grub-efi-amd64 again. | 05:00 |
| ddn | daftykins, yeah the card was inside the printer slot | 05:00 |
| ddn | daftykins, and yes it made not difference | 05:00 |
| cheapie | bytes: By the way, when you did that chroot command, you basically "moved into" the installed system on your hard drive. | 05:00 |
| bytes | cheapie, alright its installing now! | 05:01 |
| bytes | so what did i screw up for this to occur? | 05:01 |
| bytes | if it finished should i proceed to reboot? | 05:01 |
| cheapie | bytes: It just appears that your bootloader got half-installed, if at all. And no, don't reboot yet. | 05:02 |
| bytes | cheapie, alright | 05:02 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: ok. thanks. network controller (Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express | 05:03 |
| cheapie | I mean, in that script output you posted at the beginning, I see GRUB there, but it obviously wasn't working for you for some reason. | 05:03 |
| cheapie | bytes: Has it finished installing yet? | 05:03 |
| bytes | cheapie, yes it has | 05:03 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK. Did you run the grub-install command I posted? | 05:04 |
| daftykins | ddn: ok, USB resets are always worth considering. they involve powering off, removing the mains electricity connection and the battery, giving it a minute, then plugging back in. crazy idea but it solves a lot of laptop/netbook USB quirks. | 05:04 |
| bytes | cheapie, yes | 05:04 |
| cheapie | bytes: Any errors? | 05:04 |
| bytes | nope | 05:04 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK. Now run "update-grub". | 05:04 |
| daftykins | moose-machine-ar: hmm, i'm going to have to call it a night now i'm afraid - but you could probably give that model + your ubuntu version some research online | 05:04 |
| bytes | cheapie, alright, done | 05:05 |
| moose-machine-ar | @daftykins: alright. thank you for your patience and your help. good night. | 05:05 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, type "exit" to exit the chroot, then you can go ahead and reboot without the live CD to see if it worked. | 05:05 |
| bytes | cheapie, oh my- its still not working | 05:06 |
| platz | just came to say remapping keys on on Ubuntu since 14.04 is a nightmare | 05:06 |
| bytes | "Reboot and select proper Boot device" | 05:06 |
| bytes | :/ | 05:06 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK, so I think your firmware may be misconfigured. | 05:06 |
| bytes | i have secure boot on | 05:06 |
| bytes | if that is any worry | 05:06 |
| bytes | because i assumed ubuntu supported it | 05:07 |
| cheapie | bytes: Try with it off. | 05:07 |
| platz | xmodmap no longer works so you have to dig in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols | 05:07 |
| cheapie | (I *HATE* secure boot. I have it turned off here) | 05:07 |
| daftykins | nothing wrong with secure boot, it's been supported and works since 12.04 | 05:07 |
| cheapie | daftykins: Maybe, but it is one thing to try ruling out. | 05:07 |
| bytes | yeah, just tried it with secure boot off, same deal | 05:08 |
| daftykins | anyway, nn \o | 05:08 |
| cheapie | bytes: OK. Is there a key you can press during the POST to get a boot menu? | 05:08 |
| cheapie | (F11 for AMI Aptio firmware, if that's what you have) | 05:08 |
| bytes | do you mean the UEFI settings page? | 05:08 |
| cheapie | bytes: Not that one, there's usually a one-time boot override menu. | 05:09 |
| cheapie | bytes: Every UEFI motherboard I've seen so far uses F11, try mashing that while it's POSTing. | 05:09 |
| bytes | just tried it and it did not work | 05:10 |
| ddn | daftykins, issue came back when sent the second printing, CPU when high to the sky, PC unusable, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10120891/ | 05:10 |
| bytes | i don't recall there being other key combos for this computer aside from the one to get into UEFI and boot settings page | 05:10 |
| ddn | daftykins, I did yesterday as well | 05:10 |
| cheapie | bytes: Well, try that, I guess. | 05:10 |
| daftykins | ddn: sorry, heading to bed now | 05:10 |
| ddn | daftykins, sweet dreams | 05:10 |
| cheapie | bytes: Take a look at the boot sequence settings in there, and see if something along the lines of "ubuntu" is an option anywhere. | 05:10 |
| cheapie | bytes: On my board, I have to enable "UEFI" as a step in the boot sequence, then go to the order of UEFI-supporting devices and pick the right one there. | 05:11 |
| cheapie | bytes: Since you're not getting an EFI shell when the boot fails, but rather a boot failure message, I suspect that it might not even be trying to boot the hard drive in UEFI mode. | 05:12 |
| bytes | cheapie, huh... my keyboard keys aren't even functioning now | 05:12 |
| cheapie | bytes: Odd. Try powering completely off, waiting a few seconds, turning it on, and trying again. | 05:13 |

| jmadero | what's the easiest way for me to do a one time mount of a samba share in terminal? | 05:15 |
| jmadero | on Ubuntu 14.10 | 05:15 |
| jamesd | jmadero: if its just a one time thing.. install a ftpd server on the ubuntu box,, install winscp or filezilla and ftp the files from the windows box to ubunutu samba can be a pain for a one off | 05:17 |
| === mfisch is now known as Guest90369 | ||
| jmadero | jamesd: it's actually going to be a permanent thing if it works | 05:17 |
| jmadero | NFS is not cooperating for my setup | 05:17 |
| jmadero | so I'm reverting back to samba (all Linux machines...I know...it sucks) | 05:17 |
| jmadero | but I'll only revert if I can confirm on a one off that it works, else it's not worth the hassle of a permanent mount | 05:18 |
| jamesd | jmadero: NFS biggest pain is usually getting dns correct or all the boxes into the hosts file. | 05:18 |
| jmadero | jamesd: no there's some bug with raspberry pi | 05:18 |
| jmadero | causes issues for media center hosting :-/ | 05:18 |
| jmadero | just confirmed it's a hardware issue, so hoping that samba works | 05:19 |
| jamesd | their might be a samba channel, there are also numerous samba get start guides. | 05:19 |
| jmadero | jamesd: yeah I see a lot of the guides, unfortunately many were written for Ubuntu 13.10 or older | 05:19 |
| jmadero | where it seemed much simpler.... | 05:20 |
| jmadero | cifs-utils has replaced some stuff apparently | 05:20 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 05:43 |

| SonikkuAmerica | cheapie: Oh. Generally we keep those in #ubuntu-offtopic though. Just sayin'. :D | 05:44 |
| cheapie | SonikkuAmerica: I'd go there if I wanted to start a discussion about it. I'm pretty much just waiting for nicomachus to do something interesting here. | 05:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I hope it's related to a support question. That is all. | 05:45 |
| nicomachus | haha, downloading the torrent for 64 bit now, then will try to make another live usb and give PLoP another go. | 05:46 |

| SonikkuAmerica | nicomachus: Why do you want to use Plop? You can use dd to get the image onto your USB stick, and from there you can boot from the USB stick into GRUB 2. | 05:52 |
| Psychopath | is this a sex channel? | 05:52 |
| cheapie | SonikkuAmerica: If his BIOS supported that, it would work. | 05:52 |

| cheapie | hdon: Shiny new stuff, bugfixes, security hole patches... | 06:02 |
| hdon | cheapie, yes but i mean, i've been using linux for a long time, and i was thinking, when i was younger, there were never this many... so what has caused more "shiny new stuff, bugfixes, security fixes?" | 06:03 |
| ninjarob666 | weird says cant send to channel ... wonder whats that for? | 06:03 |

| Ulfalizer | ninjarob666: are you registered? | 06:03 |
| cheapie | ninjarob666: Some channels require you to do something to be able to speak. | 06:03 |
| ninjarob666 | i was trying to ask a question in ##C ++ | 06:04 |
| Ulfalizer | prolly needs to be registered on freenode for that | 06:04 |

| hdon | cheapie, ok,.. well i thought there might be a generalization that would make me say "eureka!" but thanks for trying | 06:04 |
| Ulfalizer | google "register freenode". can't remember off the top of my head. :) | 06:04 |

| Ulfalizer | would be bad if it died in a netsplit and someone impersonated it :P | 06:08 |
| Ulfalizer | but maybe there's some rename protection thingy too | 06:08 |
| nicomachus | Ulfalizer: is it really that big of a deal anyway? | 06:08 |
| Jasonrj | Oh hey, I'm uh Nick. Just forward all those requests to me and I'll handle it ;). | 06:09 |
| tutifuti | Hi | 06:09 |
| Ulfalizer | could be bad. lots of people probably don't consider that it's sent in plaintext and use passwords they use for other stuff too... | 06:09 |
| Ulfalizer | so in practice it's bad | 06:09 |
| Ulfalizer | in a perfect world less bad maybe :P | 06:09 |
| nicomachus | that's true. | 06:09 |
| Jasonrj | There are also people who run bots on here that like control serious stuff. You can setup an IRC bot to take commands for running on your server and stuff. If someone could get your pass and identify as you then potentially control your VPS or something you could have a bad day. | 06:10 |
| nicomachus | that doesn't seem like a very secure way of controlling things. | 06:13 |
| nicomachus | almost gotta blame the user, then. | 06:13 |
| nicomachus | get your own IRC server for that. | 06:13 |

| xer0 | nicomachus: u know? how to transfer over two machines over wifi | 06:17 |
| nicomachus | c31r2g: using PLoP. | 06:17 |
| nicomachus | error already. says: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image | 06:17 |
| nicomachus | boot: | 06:18 |
| c31r2g | nicomachus well what is it | 06:18 |
| c31r2g | PLoP ? nicomachus | 06:18 |
| c31r2g | xer0 well WPS connection available | 06:19 |
| nicomachus | PLoP is a boot assist that allows me to boot from USB even though the BIOS doesn't support it. | 06:19 |
| xer0 | c31r2g: what's WPS? | 06:19 |
| c31r2g | Well over router it is given | 06:20 |
| xer0 | I just want to transfer files using ad-hoc | 06:20 |
| c31r2g | xer0 well if youre using two laptops then you should create an ad-hoc network and then transfer files | 06:20 |
| nicomachus | This says to press TAB for the error I'm getting: http://askubuntu.com/questions/486602/ubuntu-14-04-lts-live-usb-boot-error-gfxboot-c32not-a-valid-com32r-image | 06:21 |
| nicomachus | but TAB doesn't do anything | 06:21 |
| xer0 | after creating ad-hoc what do i do? | 06:21 |
| c31r2g | xer0 then just share the file you want to share by right clicking | 06:21 |
| xer0 | ok | 06:21 |
| c31r2g | xer0 after that you should ve able to see the files over the network in shared files | 06:22 |
| xer0 | i'll try | 06:22 |
| c31r2g | Then anyone can download it from shared files menu xer0 | 06:22 |

| c31r2g | xer0 did it work | 06:26 |
| c31r2g | xer0 yes torrent files can be used but the same file should be on torrent uploading list | 06:26 |
| mysupper | cause , unlike windows, linux itself is user unfriendly. | 06:27 |

| bytes | i had to perform some surgery and stuff on my laptop and now the keyboard works | 06:30 |
| cheapie | Huh. | 06:30 |
| bytes | so, i'm not sure where you would like me to continue if you would like continue helping me :P | 06:30 |
| cheapie | Any success messing with the boot options yet? | 06:30 |
| bytes | nah :/ | 06:30 |
| cheapie | bytes: So, nothing in there that lets you select "UEFI mode" or something as a boot option? | 06:32 |
| bytes | oh, yeah there's an option to select uefi | 06:32 |
| bytes | and legacy | 06:33 |
| bytes | that's the only two | 06:33 |
| cheapie | bytes: I meant in the boot sequence. | 06:33 |
| bytes | cheapie, i'm not sure i can find anything regarding that | 06:34 |
| cheapie | bytes: Well, see if there's anything in there that looks related... I still don't think it's even trying. | 06:34 |
| bytes | cheapie, i just looked through all my boot sequence options and couldn't find anything | 06:36 |
| bytes | :/ | 06:36 |
| bytes | i can't even boot into my windows restore disk either o.o | 06:36 |
| bytes | but i can boot into xubuntu live cd | 06:37 |
| bytes | and that's really it | 06:37 |
| cheapie | bytes: That's odd. Unfortunately, I've exhausted all of my techniques to fix it... | 06:37 |
| cheapie | bytes: You may have to just switch it to legacy mode and install and use your OS that way. | 06:37 |
| c31r2g | cheapie dude everyrhings ok | 06:37 |
| bytes | will ubuntu detect that i'm using legacy and atuomatically install it that way? | 06:37 |
| cheapie | bytes: I *think* so. | 06:38 |
| c31r2g | cheapie just restore your bios settings and youre good to go | 06:38 |
| cheapie | c31r2g: I suppose he could try that... | 06:38 |
| c31r2g | bytes nupe you will have to manually set it via bios | 06:38 |
| bytes | yeah, i've set it to legacy on bios | 06:38 |
| bytes | it says *csm boot* which states legacy in the description | 06:39 |
| rpp601 | if you have two interfaces connected to a network (wired/wireless) how does ubuntu decide which one it will use? | 06:39 |
| bytes | hope its the samething i guess | 06:39 |
| c31r2g | rpp601 by default it uses wirless | 06:42 |
| c31r2g | rpp601maybe its because the developers have made it so | 06:42 |
| rpp601 | c31r2g, if i'm moving files from one system to the other, i wonder which one would be faster... a wired, b wireless or both wireless, when dealing with a shitty stock netgear router | 06:44 |
| jamesd | wired is always faster | 06:44 |
| c31r2g | Wired | 06:45 |
| jamesd | unless you screwed up auto negeotiation | 06:45 |
| rpp601 | well one client will always be wireless | 06:45 |
| rpp601 | but wired whenever possible, wherever possible, is what you're getting at right? | 06:45 |
| rpp601 | for speeds sake anyway | 06:45 |
| ackpacket | I'm running my course's VM inside of VirtualBox... it's an image of ubuntu with some stuff preinstalled. It's rather clunky. Is there a way to "turn off the graphics" on an ubuntu system? Is it dangerous? Will I see a speed increase of any type? | 06:48 |
| Blaster | How can I eliminate these errors when running apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10121852/ | 06:48 |
| bytes | alright welp im reinstalling it with legacy boot and crossing my fingers... | 06:48 |
| bytes | its installing boot to /dev/sda | 06:48 |
| bytes | if it doesn't work i have no clue what to do | 06:48 |
| bytes | whats the issue with legacy boot btw? why do many people prefer to just stay in UEFI | 06:49 |
| Blaster | ackpacket, maybe use Ubuntu server instead of Ubuntu desktop and connect to it via SSH? | 06:49 |
| Blaster | Ubuntu server is basically just Ubuntu without a desktop environment isn't it? | 06:49 |
| bytes | Blaster, it has servery packages too | 06:50 |
| rpp601 | servery lol | 06:50 |
| bytes | best way i could explain it without listing them all :p | 06:50 |
| Blaster | Oh I thought those were called servical packages. | 06:50 |
| ackpacket | Blaster: Yes, it's headless and configured slightly differently, but this VM is given to us by the course | 06:50 |
| ackpacket | Blaster: we are required to use it | 06:50 |
| Blaster | ackpacket: Lame! Drop that course ASAP. | 06:51 |
| ackpacket | On someone's suggestion from ##linux, I did sudo service lightdm stop | 06:51 |
| ackpacket | now I have a black screen and cursor, but no commands work | 06:51 |
| Blaster | Switch to another TTY. | 06:52 |
| Blaster | Ctrl + Alt + F1 | 06:52 |
| ackpacket | how? | 06:52 |
| Blaster | Then back to desktop should be Ctrl + Alt + F7, at least with Gnome it is. | 06:53 |
| Jemblink | My cursor didnt work after boot. I must replug usb mouse. Anonyone can help? | 06:55 |
| ackpacket_ | so, ctrl+alt+f1 took my whole system into a terminal, which I had no idea how to get out of other than restarting -.- | 06:56 |
| Blaster | I thought that's what you wanted. | 06:56 |
| rpp601 | yeah how do you escape those terminals anyway | 06:56 |
| rpp601 | i always have to reboot after those | 06:56 |
| Blaster | Your desktop environment would be on another TTY, usually Ctrl + Alt + F7. | 06:56 |
| demahum | When I run sudo make, I have an error: Could not find ndk-build. Could not find android. But if I run make (without sudo), it works. This happens quite often. Why? | 06:56 |

| === Ulfalizer is now known as Ulfalize1 | ||
| Blaster | ackpacket_: What's a host TTY? | 06:58 |
| Blaster | Switching TTY by default should take you to a login prompt in a terminal. | 06:59 |
| ackpacket_ | Blaster: i'm running a virtual machine. It's the virtual machine I want the graphics off of, and the virtual machine I want to open a terminal in after disabling those graphics | 06:59 |
| ackpacket_ | Blaster: however ctr+alt+f1 accidentally sent MY machine into a tty | 06:59 |
| Blaster | Ohh. | 06:59 |
| Blaster | ackpacket_: If you want to permanently disable desktop, remove gnome or kde. | 07:00 |
| ackpacket_ | Blaster: don't want to fiddle with things too too much | 07:01 |
| Blaster | apt-get install openssh && apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && apt-get autoremove | 07:01 |
| Blaster | Then just SSH into your VM. | 07:01 |
| Blaster | Anywho gotta run. Good luck. | 07:02 |
| rpp601 | in my experience, unless you really really need to remove ALL of the window manager stuff - dont. | 07:02 |
| rpp601 | in case there's some really odd thing you need it for. just sayin. | 07:02 |
| Blaster | ackpacket_: Increase the RAM or CPU for your VM may increase responsiveness too. That's probably the path of least resistance. | 07:03 |
| jamesd | remote X rocks.. its old school but it makes a lot of things possible.. | 07:03 |
| demahum | When I run sudo make, I have an error: Could not find ndk-build. Could not find android. But if I run make (without sudo), it works. This happens quite often. Why? | 07:03 |
| ackpacket_ | Blaster: I only have 3 gigs to begin with, increasing it past 1gb isn't my first preference | 07:03 |
| ackpacket_ | Blaster: still, turning off lightdm and dropping into a tty worked find | 07:03 |
| ackpacket_ | *fine | 07:04 |

| nicomachus | It's continuing with the install, for now... | 07:14 |

| ivanity | I have a patch to one of the packages that I want to apply every time a new version of the package comes out in the repo. Is there an automated way to do that? | 08:36 |
| ackpacket_ | I'm trying to run this ruby app that listens on port 9292 for web requests. Problem is, I can't access it from the outside. My theory is that when i do: rackup it doesn't have permission to listen on any interface other than lo? But when I do sudo rackup, it says sudo: command not found | 08:40 |
| ackpacket_ | Why would a command that normally runs fine, not run when being used with sudo | 08:40 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: stupid q, but are you behind a NATing router? | 08:42 |
| Ulfalizer | in that case you need to forward that port to your machine | 08:42 |
| c31r2g | Sudo is false root as name suggests. For it to work you must login as root inside terminal by sudo su command ackpacket_ | 08:42 |

| k-joseph | hi guys, am trying to add an execute privilege for a script file which shows nothing but fails to add it and when i check i only see the two previous privileges and execute still missing, how do i force this privilege on this file? | 08:43 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: what does $ type rackup in the shell say by the way? | 08:43 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: I have WEBrick running inside a guest os, ubuntu. I've forwarded 80 on host to 9292 on guest, in the NAT of the virtual box | 08:44 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: so yes i'm behind a NAT | 08:44 |
| Ulfalizer | if it's just an ordinary executable, then the problem is that it's not in PATH when you run as root | 08:44 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: i'll try type right now | 08:44 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: ok, that sounds okay at least | 08:44 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: rackup is hashed (/home/saasbook/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/rackup) | 08:44 |
| Ulfalizer | should def. check if you need to run it as root though. sounds weird. | 08:44 |
| Ulfalizer | and running stuff as root when you don't have to is really bad | 08:45 |
| ackpacket_ | i'm going to check that my forwarding is at least good with netcat. That sounds reasonable doesn't it? nc inside the guest, navitate there from host browser | 08:45 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: ah, yeah. if you're sure it's what you want to do, you could do try sudo /home/saasbook/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p448/bin/rackup. | 08:45 |
| Ulfalizer | might be other path problems as well though | 08:45 |
| Ulfalizer | thing is sudo clears your environment variables for security reasons (including PATH) | 08:46 |
| Ulfalizer | or sets to "safe" values | 08:46 |
| ackpacket_ | interesting | 08:46 |
| ackpacket_ | let me try that, and the netcat thing | 08:46 |
| ackpacket_ | brb | 08:46 |
| ackpacket_ | and ty | 08:46 |
| Ulfalizer | np, and be careful :P | 08:46 |
| dsdude | can I ask a question about using VIM on linux | 08:46 |
| Ulfalizer | shoot | 08:47 |
| cfhowlett | dsdude, ask | 08:47 |
| ackpacket_ | Okie Dokie, port forwarding is working | 08:47 |
| dsdude | so I know the command for saving the text is :wq and you do this in command mode | 08:47 |
| fa1c0n | hello | 08:47 |
| dsdude | but how exactly do you do that | 08:47 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: ordinarily you'd only need to be root if you want to listen to ports <1024 (or <=1024 maybe... can't remember) | 08:47 |
| dsdude | how do you write out :wq | 08:47 |
| Ulfalizer | those are called privileged ports | 08:47 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: Even on outside interfaces? | 08:48 |
| Ulfalizer | it's so that non-privileged processes can't listen on important ports like ssh | 08:48 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: shouldn't matter what port you're forwarding from. that's handled in the router. | 08:48 |
| Ulfalizer | the port you're forwarding to matters though, of course | 08:48 |
| ubone | can a partition be mounted in vbox ? | 08:48 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: I mean, webrick is choose which interfaces to listen on yes? | 08:49 |
| Ulfalizer | dsdude: how do you mean "write out"? | 08:49 |
| cfhowlett | dsdude, write your text. on an empty line, write the characters :wq | 08:49 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: dunno. i don't have any experience iwth webrick. :) | 08:49 |
| dsdude | oh, shit, ok thanks | 08:49 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: allow me to rephrase: Any process specifies what interfaces to listen on, doesn't it? | 08:49 |
| Ulfalizer | it can specify what interface to listen to at least. i think the default is to listen on any interface. | 08:50 |
| k-joseph | has someone seen my question? or i can re-ask for those who have just joined! | 08:50 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: does root not only affect which ports a process can listen on, but which interfaces/ | 08:50 |
| Ulfalizer | haven't heard of that, but maybe you can limit it. not sure. | 08:51 |
| ackpacket_ | Hmm | 08:51 |

| k-joseph | hi guys, am trying to add an execute privilege for a script file which shows nothing but fails to add it and when i check i only see the two previous privileges and execute still missing, how do i force this privilege on this file? | 08:51 |
| Ulfalizer | a non-root process can listen on (non-loopback) network interfaces at least. otherwise you'd have to run any app that uses the network as root, which would be really bad. :) | 08:52 |
| Ulfalizer | any server that is | 08:52 |
| warbirdz | hello | 08:53 |
| Ulfalizer | programs like apache split themselves up and drop privileges where they can, so they don't have to run with maximum privileges at all times | 08:53 |
| ackpacket_ | still boggled. Let me summarize the findings so far. 1) Guest: nc -l 9292, host: browse to 127.0.0.1:9292 SUCCESS 2) guest: rackup (it listens on 9292) guest: browse to 127.0.0.1:9292 SUCCESS 3) guest: rackup host: browse to 127.0.0.1:80 FAIL | 08:53 |
| ackpacket_ | er.... that last one should be 127.0.0.1:9292 | 08:54 |
| ackpacket_ | sorry | 08:54 |
| ackpacket_ | The only thing I can think of is that the rackup app is unable to accept connections that aren't on lo | 08:55 |
| Ulfalizer | yeah, my guess too. maybe it only listens on lo by default as a security feature. | 08:55 |
| Ulfalizer | so you don't accidentally put it on the net | 08:56 |
| Ulfalizer | might need to enable other interfaces in its configuration file or something | 08:56 |
| ackpacket_ | well, i've specified the option to bind it to 0.0.0.0 | 08:56 |
| ackpacket_ | is that not all interfaces/ | 08:56 |
| Ulfalizer | can't remember off the top of my head, but there's commands you could run to check what interfaces/ports processes are listening on | 08:56 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: should be. dunno what's going on. | 08:57 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: I know the request from my browser is successfully getting to the VM, cross that off the list. It's just one program is able to accept the request, and another.... is not | 08:58 |
| Ulfalizer | yeah, still guessing some configuration problem. not familiar with that particular application. :/ | 08:59 |
| Ulfalizer | not very helpful, i know :P | 08:59 |
| ackpacket_ | well | 09:00 |
| ackpacket_ | this is promising (also discouraging) | 09:00 |
| ackpacket_ | : | 09:00 |
| Ulfalizer | could run netstat -a on the guest and see what ports its listening on | 09:01 |
| ackpacket_ | Ulfalizer: lsof says it's listening on *:9292 | 09:01 |
| Ulfalizer | ok, should be fine then | 09:01 |
| pc_ | jesus ubuntu firefox constantly asking to install its shitty extensions is annoying | 09:02 |
| ackpacket_ | Given two programs listening on the same port, why would one fail and the other succeed -_- | 09:02 |

| === jer1 is now known as turtlehead | ||
| turtlehead | Does anyone know if there is a way to find what file is modifying another file? | 09:12 |
| Ulfalizer | turtlehead: how do you mean? files can't modify other files. only processes (programs) can modify files. | 09:12 |
| turtlehead | But they are saved as files aren't they? | 09:13 |
| === Guest31974 is now known as bitnumus | ||
| Ulfalizer | ah, yeah, programs are stored in files | 09:14 |
| Ulfalizer | if you want to figure out which program is modifying a file, you could try the "lsof" command ("ls open files") | 09:14 |
| Ulfalizer | lsof | grep <filename> for example | 09:14 |
| Ulfalizer | that only works if it currently has the file open though | 09:15 |
| turtlehead | Ulfalizer: Alright I will try this. | 09:15 |
| turtlehead | Thanks! | 09:15 |
| Ulfalizer | what file is it btw? | 09:15 |
| ackpacket_ | Where's the best place to ask a git question? | 09:16 |
| Ulfalizer | np | 09:16 |
| Ulfalizer | ackpacket_: ##git? :) | 09:16 |
| ackpacket_ | i realized it the moment i perssed enter smg | 09:16 |
| ackpacket_ | *smh | 09:16 |
| Ulfalizer | just one # apparently | 09:16 |
| turtlehead | Ulfalizer: does the program modifying the file need to be open or does it need to be just the file? | 09:19 |
| blb15513 | ackpacket: and svn in #svn ; ) | 09:19 |
| turtlehead | Does anyone know about the lsof command use? | 09:21 |
| Ulfalizer | turtlehead: the program needs to have the file open (before you can read or write a file, you need to "open" it) | 09:21 |
| Ulfalizer | so lsof is not guaranteed to be useful in this case. it's worth a try though. | 09:22 |
| Ulfalizer | what file is it in particular? | 09:22 |
| Ulfalizer | oh, and the program needs to be running. otherwise it can't have the file open. | 09:23 |
| turtlehead | /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness | 09:23 |
| Ulfalizer | might be tricky to figure it out for that one with lsof | 09:23 |
| turtlehead | The program runs at odd intervals it seems to just change the value of /sys/class/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness | 09:24 |
| Ulfalizer | you could try grep'ing around for "/brightness" | 09:24 |

| demahum | Seveas: I assumed that. And I think it works. Because it is pinging. I see 64 bytes from the mentioned IP, after I stop it, I see e.g. 11 packets recieved... | 09:34 |
| demahum | Seveas: That means it works? | 09:34 |
| Seveas | yup | 09:34 |
| demahum | Seveas: Ok, but now I have to ssh into it. And when I try, it lasts forever (and it does not finish). I am sure that ssh is enabled on this ArchLinux and that username is root. Can it be because of Ubuntu? Can something in Ubuntu be wrong set, so I can't ssh? | 09:35 |

| Seveas | flood: save yourself time and reinstall. You'll need to go 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 where each step needs to download a lot and install a lot. It'll take you a day or more. | 09:39 |
| demahum | flood: What's wrong with formatting your PC and then installing 14.04 (not 03.). Wizard is quite simple and fast? | 09:39 |
| Seveas | demahum: first make sure ssh is actually running. Can you access this pcduino thing in any other way? | 09:39 |
| flood | simple | 09:39 |
| flood | i put a usb and delete ubuntu 10.10 and install 14.04 is okay? | 09:40 |
| demahum | Seveas: Unfortunately, no. | 09:40 |
| Seveas | flood: yeah. Make sure you back up files you want to keep :) | 09:40 |
| Seveas | demahum: then you're out of luck. | 09:40 |
| Seveas | check the manual of that thing to see if ssh is running on a different port. | 09:41 |
| demahum | flood: You can find all the manuals on Ubuntu.com. After you download the version you want, instructions will pop up on Ubuntu.com | 09:41 |
| demahum | Seveas: What is the range of ports? | 09:41 |
| demahum | 255? XD | 09:41 |
| flood | Thanks | 09:41 |
| Seveas | demahum: 1-65535 | 09:41 |
| demahum | Seveas: Oh... | 09:41 |
| demahum | Seveas: I don't have any luck definitely. | 09:41 |
| demahum | Seveas: An SSH server, by default, listens on the standard TCP port 22. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Secure_Shell | 09:43 |
| flood | I copy ubuntu.14.04.1-desktop-iso64.iso in usb is ok? | 09:43 |
| Seveas | demahum: sudo nmap -sS -p 1-65535 192.168.0.20 | 09:43 |
| Seveas | that'll scan all possible ports. Will take a little while | 09:43 |

| asfasfaf | they suck | 10:02 |
| azizLIGHT | so why is firefox complaining then | 10:02 |
| asfasfaf | is it just one video or all videos | 10:03 |
| azizLIGHT | every page that has flash | 10:04 |
| azizLIGHT | even gmail | 10:04 |
| ash_m | does anyone know if I should be concerned about a message when doing apt-get upgrade: cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/xvda | 10:04 |
| ash_m | ? | 10:04 |
| asfasfaf | urd | 10:04 |
| asfasfaf | I mean yes | 10:04 |
| asfasfaf | azizLIGHT: maybe try removing all of your add ons | 10:05 |
| vagvaf | what's the most up-to-date way to connect a windows mobile device to ubuntu 14.04 in order to transfer data? | 10:05 |
| azizLIGHT | wher do i get the update for flash | 10:06 |
| asfasfaf | i told you adobe does not make updates for flash on linux systems | 10:07 |
| Seveas | azizLIGHT: flash is rarely needed these days. I haven't had it installed for months if not years. | 10:09 |
| asfasfaf | linux mint i think has passed ubuntu in total users | 10:09 |
| azizLIGHT | i need it | 10:09 |
| asfasfaf | try gnash | 10:09 |
| azizLIGHT | hmmm ok | 10:09 |
| asfasfaf | it is a flash replacement | 10:09 |
| Seveas | what do you need flash for? | 10:10 |
| AndroUser | utube? | 10:10 |
| Seveas | youtube works fine without flash | 10:10 |
| azizLIGHT | gmail voice calling | 10:10 |
| asfasfaf | you should be able to play most videos without flash | 10:10 |
| Seveas | asfasfaf: I have not yet found a video that doesn't work with html5 :) | 10:11 |
| blb15513 | what gstream packages are needed for h.264 in firefox? | 10:11 |
| asfasfaf | sevard: super | 10:11 |
| ash_m | I was kinda curious myself about that Seveas (what does he need flash for) | 10:12 |
| azizLIGHT | i fixed it | 10:12 |
| azizLIGHT | its updated now | 10:13 |
| ash_m | azizLIGHT: congrats | 10:13 |
| Seveas | ash_m: apparently gmail voice call. I've never used that so I don't know if it works without flash. Hangouts work fine though. | 10:13 |
| ash_m | Seveas: OOOO | 10:13 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I didn't realize that | 10:13 |
| azizLIGHT | yeah its very annoying | 10:13 |
| azizLIGHT | but have to have it | 10:13 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I didn't think it did because you have to download a package anyway | 10:13 |
| ash_m | Seveas: at least on windows you do | 10:14 |
| ash_m | Seveas: :: shrug :: | 10:14 |
| azizLIGHT | well gmail first coplains u dont have flash | 10:14 |
| ash_m | anyone know what cryptsetup is? | 10:14 |
| azizLIGHT | then it says download the plugin | 10:14 |
| azizLIGHT | cryptsetup is that thing for luks and encryption | 10:14 |
| c31r2g | demahum memeory card in the sense micro sd card being put inside a memory card reader slot using an adapter and then botting via it | 10:16 |
| ash_m | does sudo apt-get upgrade install security updates too? | 10:17 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, y | 10:17 |
| demahum | c31r2g: Oh, I never tried that. The thing I was talking about is that I am booting on pcDuino, not usual PC. But obviousely it's possible: http://www.udoo.org/ProjectsAndTutorials/creating-a-bootable-micro-sd-card-with-linux-ubuntu-from-image/ :D | 10:17 |
| ash_m | is it super important to get the latest version of Ubuntu? (14.x) ... I have 12.x right now... am I in the dark ages? | 10:18 |
| asfasfaf | yes | 10:18 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, 12.04 is still supported | 10:18 |
| Seveas | but for many things you are in the dark ages | 10:19 |
| ash_m | I am planning on using do-release-upgrade but I don't know if I should be worried about the cryptsetup warning I got | 10:19 |
| Seveas | what's cryptsetup warning about? | 10:19 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, if you live upgrade as you describe from 12.04 >> 14.04, the encryption setup will be created for you. | 10:20 |
| ash_m | Seveas: there are 2 actually: cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/xvda | 10:20 |
| ash_m | Seveas: and: cryptsetup: WARNING: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab | 10:20 |
| Seveas | ash_m: what are you doing that generates those warnings? | 10:20 |
| ash_m | just fyi, I'm doing everything remotely via console | 10:21 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, I should have said, a properly configured crypt setup will be created. Your's ... ain't. | 10:21 |
| ash_m | Seveas: those came up during sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:21 |
| Seveas | ash_m: they mean cryptsetup is confused. Are you using full-disk encryption? | 10:21 |
| ash_m | cfhowlett: so... do-release-upgrade and the warnings will be resolved? | 10:21 |
| ash_m | Seveas: how would I check that (I wouldn't think so... but maybe) | 10:21 |
| Seveas | ash_m: pastebin /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab | 10:22 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, nope. I'd suggest a clean install. do the encryption post-install | 10:22 |
| ash_m | Seveas: should I resolve this before the release upgrade? | 10:22 |
| hhh | howdy | 10:22 |
| Seveas | hhhowdy | 10:22 |
| ash_m | cfhowlett: ugh ~.~ | 10:22 |
| cfhowlett | ash_m, or fix it before you do-release-upgrade | 10:23 |
| ash_m | Seveas: /etc/fstab: command not found | 10:23 |
| ash_m | Seveas: it's in the directory... I guess it's a $PATH problem? | 10:23 |
| Seveas | ash_m: those are files. Pastebin their contents... | 10:24 |
| ash_m | cfhowlett: roger that | 10:24 |
| ash_m | Seveas: oh vi or cat then | 10:24 |
| ash_m | Seveas: what kind of file is this? for highlighting | 10:25 |
| hhh | GO KICK ME! | 10:25 |
| Seveas | ash_m: /etc/fstab lists your mountpoints and which devices are mounted there. /etc/crypttab is cryptsetup configuration | 10:26 |
| hhh | op? u there? | 10:26 |
| cfhowlett | hhh, just leave. no need to abuse the ops | 10:26 |
| ash_m | Seveas: shrug... I just wanted to select something to make it more readable | 10:26 |
| Seveas | ash_m: is /etc/crypttab empty? | 10:27 |
| ash_m | Seveas: yeah actually | 10:27 |
| ash_m | Seveas: just the field names | 10:27 |
| Seveas | you seem to be using the partitions directly. No luks or encryption involved. So you can ignore the cryptsetup warnings. | 10:27 |
| ash_m | Seveas: is that bad? | 10:28 |
| Seveas | ash_m: nope. | 10:28 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I mean, using the partitions directly | 10:28 |
| ash_m | Seveas: thanks a lot! so just proceed with the release upgrade? | 10:28 |
| Seveas | yeah | 10:29 |
| ash_m | Seveas: okay, it's on a roll | 10:29 |
| Seveas | rolling rolling rolling rawhide! | 10:29 |
| ash_m | Seveas: haha | 10:29 |
| ash_m | Seveas: is it, like, recommended that I bifricate my partition and use luks and encryption? | 10:30 |
| Seveas | depends on what you want. I tend to encrypt my laptop but not servers | 10:31 |
| ash_m | Seveas: it's a webserver | 10:31 |
| Seveas | except a vps where I store private backups, the backup storage is encrypted. | 10:31 |
| ash_m | Seveas: so I guess I'll follow suit | 10:31 |
| ash_m | Seveas: do you have, like, a manager for that? | 10:33 |
| goddard | im trying to get a virtual host site working with mod rewrite and it is being a pain in the arse | 10:34 |
| goddard | any good walk throughs for this | 10:34 |

| blb15513 | shoudl media source extensions be activat4d in firefox to watch utube videos? Because it shows that h.264 is supported but won't play utube videos | 10:35 |
| * jarnos hates it, when chromium-browser shows page promptly and then Aw, Snap! | 10:35 | |
| Seveas | blb15513: no, that's not necessary. | 10:36 |

| blb15513 | what gstreamer extensions should be installed them? | 10:37 |
| blb15513 | then | 10:37 |
| Seveas | goddard: and how are you trying to access it? | 10:37 |
| blb15513 | i have these - 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-plugins-good' | 10:37 |
| goddard | Seveas https://phpaste.ga/paste/69eee9 | 10:38 |
| goddard | my .htaccess | 10:38 |
| goddard | http://start/about | 10:38 |
| Seveas | goddard: err, why do you have a .htaccess? Just throw that in the virtualhoist definition. | 10:39 |
| ash_m | GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory | 10:39 |
| ash_m | This likely means that your installation is broken | 10:39 |
| goddard | Seveas its apart of some software | 10:39 |
| advx_ | good afternoon, have a great sunday | 10:40 |
| ash_m | I hope this comes up with a list of errors when it's done | 10:41 |
| Seveas | ash_m: that's not abnormal during a release upgrade | 10:41 |
| ash_m | everything zips by so quickly, I'm lucky to get a screenshot | 10:41 |
| ash_m | Seveas: the crypt meassages came up too | 10:41 |
| Seveas | ash_m: it's probably a bug in the upgrade, but it self-correct later (the pixbuf one) | 10:42 |
| Giwrgaras | is wine for linux a piece of shit or is it just me? | 10:42 |
| cfhowlett | Giwrgaras, language!!! | 10:42 |
| Seveas | Giwrgaras: it's just you. That kind of language gets you removed from here pretty quickly. | 10:42 |
| Giwrgaras | ok cfhowlett sorry | 10:42 |
| ash_m | shoudl I installe the configuration file shipped by the distributor? | 10:43 |
| ash_m | I think the only changes I would make are those relavent to my vps | 10:43 |
| cfhowlett | Giwrgaras, wine is a emulator and will never run apps as smoothly as the (intended) native OS | 10:43 |
| Seveas | ash_m: there are options to see the differences and what it would do. Always inspect first before choosing. | 10:43 |
| ash_m | wow, I can type I swear | 10:43 |
| Giwrgaras | at least it could run them even for a while | 10:44 |
| Ben64 | cfhowlett: Wine Is Not an Emulator ... and some things it runs better than windows | 10:44 |
| Giwrgaras | 10 different versions of "silver/gold" office 2010 and no luck | 10:44 |
| ash_m | Seveas: so a - means installing new would remove this line and a + means installing new would add this line, right? | 10:44 |
| ash_m | Seveas: what's just a hash? is that for reference? | 10:44 |
| cfhowlett | Giwrgaras, eh, Y U No libreoffice? | 10:44 |
| Ben64 | Giwrgaras: look at the appdb for steps to get it working | 10:44 |
| ash_m | Seveas: like to give context? | 10:44 |
| ash_m | Seveas: it would appear that PasswordAuthentication no is removed and PasswordAuthentication yes is added and commented | 10:45 |
| advx_ | Hi ppl, any one doing project on raspberry pi?? | 10:46 |
| ash_m | Seveas: and PermitRootLogin no is removed as well | 10:46 |
| Ulfalizer | 10:46 | |
| Seveas | ash_m: looks like you disabled password authentication in ssh and disabled root logins. The upgrade would undo that. | 10:46 |
| Ben64 | advx_: #raspberrypi | 10:46 |
| wiehan | I'm stuck in an endless boot cycle of "attempting to start the raid in degraded mode ubuntu" can anyone help? | 10:46 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I see; yes I did, I have it set up to accept an RSA key | 10:47 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I forget what you call that | 10:47 |
| lasagn4 | hi | 10:47 |
| lasagn4 | does 32 bit os's support only 2 cores instead of 4? | 10:47 |
| Seveas | ash_m: so in this case keep your local version | 10:47 |
| Seveas | lasagn4: no | 10:47 |
| k1l | lasagn4: no. but there is no reason for most users to run 32bit OS | 10:47 |
| ash_m | Seveas: there are several other lines listed but those are the only ones that have pluses and minuses | 10:47 |
| advx_ | Ben64: thanks... | 10:48 |
| ash_m | Seveas: oh, there's one with a double @... does that mean that diff is commenting to me? | 10:48 |
| Giwrgaras | cfhowlett: libre office cannot compare to office | 10:48 |
| lasagn4 | then how come virtualbox only supports 2 cores for my 32 bit os's? | 10:48 |
| ash_m | I see, each double @ is a different section of changes | 10:48 |
| Giwrgaras | even though ive found good alternatives for everything on windows but its office suit is subpar | 10:48 |
| k1l | lasagn4: that is a totally different question | 10:49 |
| ash_m | Seveas: how do I break out of diff? | 10:49 |
| Giwrgaras | and it doenst have onenote which is awesome | 10:49 |
| Seveas | ash_m: q | 10:49 |
| ash_m | Seveas: got it | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | Giwrgaras, most users barely user more than 15% of office's capabilities. libreoffice is more adequate for most. | 10:49 |
| lasagn4 | do any of you run virtualbox? | 10:49 |
| cfhowlett | lasagn4, y | 10:49 |
| ash_m | Seveas: thanks for helping out... I get paranoid since before I have run into errors with linux and it's kinda driven me nuts before | 10:49 |
| goddard | Seveas so any idea how ot fix the issue? | 10:50 |
| k1l | Giwrgaras: if you can ms office make a linux version, go ahead. | 10:50 |
| Giwrgaras | i cant | 10:50 |
| ash_m | Seveas: ooo, is there a way to um... keep the distro's version of something as a backup at this step? | 10:51 |
| Seveas | ash_m: no problem. I'm going afk for a bit now though so good luck with the upgrade and don't despair if you get stuck :) | 10:51 |
| k1l | Giwrgaras: so. there are alternatives. they are not the same but they work for most and most of them are free of costs. so what is your eexact issue here? | 10:51 |
| ash_m | Seveas: I'll try not to o.o | 10:51 |
| ash_m | Seveas: thanks though :) | 10:52 |
| k1l | Giwrgaras: for talk and questions about wine please see the wine appdb and ask the wine specialists in their channel. | 10:52 |
| lasagn4 | i upgraded my virtualbox and now i can't use as many cores | 10:53 |
| ash_m | @anyone else: I'm upgrading Ubuntu... I've come to an option of keeping or overwriting apache2.conf ... I'd like to keep the one I have and the one that it want's to overwrite as a back up... can I do this? | 10:53 |
| Giwrgaras | no ill just write a review to notify others for office 2010 problems just to save them time and effort | 10:53 |
| Giwrgaras | because it is rated as gold that is excellent performance | 10:53 |
| k1l | Giwrgaras: would be better to help increase the support. this is a community and you also benefit from experinece and help of others | 10:54 |
| ash_m | I honestly don't know too much about this file... I don't think I personally configured it | 10:54 |
| Giwrgaras | yeah that is why i thought to write a negative review. but yes ill ask the help also | 10:56 |
| ash_m | I mean this does seem like a better file... maybe | 10:56 |
| Ben64 | Giwrgaras: you should really be asking in #winehq , it is likely you're missing something | 10:56 |
| ash_m | part of the new looks like an htaccess file | 10:56 |
| ash_m | other parts look better like instead of ErrorLog /var/log... it's ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}... | 10:57 |
| ash_m | and insetad of Include /etc/apache2/modes-enabled/... it's IncludeOptional mods-enabled/... | 10:58 |
| ash_m | so I mean, it does seem better | 10:58 |
| ash_m | like, maybe the code is more up-to-date' | 10:58 |
| ash_m | but I don't know if this will break anything | 10:58 |
| ash_m | and I'd really prefer that not happen | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | make a copy | 10:58 |
| Ben64 | then have it replace | 10:59 |
| ash_m | Ben64: so I assume that entails opening a new shell while this is going on? | 10:59 |
| Ben64 | yeah | 10:59 |
| ash_m | Ben64: keep in mind, it's in the middle of an upgrade | 10:59 |
| === rigved is now known as Guest87701 | ||
| Ben64 | but its waiting for input | 10:59 |
| ash_m | Ben64: option Z it is :) | 10:59 |
| ash_m | Ben64: oh, would you open a brand new shell? Option Z says: start a shell to examine the situation | 11:00 |

| juniour | hi, i am trying to install oracle-11g but i am getting failed dependencies, i tried to install dependecies but not working, dependencies are glibc, libaio | 11:01 |

| === Yukkii is now known as Yukkino | ||
| ash_m | Ben64: see where that gets me | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | !find oracle-11g | 11:02 |

| ubottu | Package/file oracle-11g does not exist in utopic | 11:02 |
| Ben64 | juniour: where are you getting that package | 11:02 |
| juniour | i get rpm package from the oracle official website | 11:03 |
| Ben64 | rpm isn't for ubuntu | 11:03 |
| nonicknamegiven | Ben64 so maybe thats my problem, too? | 11:03 |
| juniour | Ben64 i know, but how can i have oracle they only provide rpm | 11:03 |
| juniour | for linux, i think | 11:04 |
| ioria | junior: maybe update gcc | 11:04 |

| Ben64 | nonicknamegiven: have you plugged it in | 11:07 |
| nonicknamegiven | Ben64 with a makerpm skript | 11:07 |

| KnightsOfNi | Hi guys, I installed Linux on a different partition, alongside Windows. However, Windows is no longer in the list of boot items. Is there a way to get it back? The partition is still there because I only assigned 30 gigs to the linux partition and never deleted the windows partition | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | nonicknamegiven: there you go, works in linux. no drivers necessary. that kind of thing normally happens, its not like windows where you always need to install drivers :) | 11:12 |
| nonicknamegiven | Ben64 so thats what i like ^^ | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: you could try an update-grub | 11:13 |
| nonicknamegiven | Ben64 so now i have to find a way to use the com port with wine | 11:13 |
| KnightsOfNi | what is that? | 11:13 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: it updates grub list | 11:14 |
| KnightsOfNi | how do I run it? | 11:14 |
| nonicknamegiven | Ben64 ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 ? | 11:14 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: sudo update-grub from terminal | 11:14 |
| Ben64 | nonicknamegiven: no idea, ask #winehq | 11:14 |
| KnightsOfNi | it saysL found linux image | 11:16 |
| KnightsOfNi | found initrd image | 11:16 |
| KnightsOfNi | found memtest | 11:16 |
| KnightsOfNi | that is all... where is my windows? | 11:16 |
| ash_m | oh crud | 11:16 |
| ash_m | now I'm getting connection errors | 11:16 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: now try a reboot, see if it helped | 11:16 |
| ash_m | The apache2 configtest failed. | 11:17 |
| KnightsOfNi | when I run gpart it does recognize the win partition but it says the used space is unknown | 11:17 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: maybe something went wrong with your windows | 11:18 |
| KnightsOfNi | it was installed in legacy boot mode and encrypted with truecrypt, maybe that fucked it up | 11:18 |
| MonkeyDust | KnightsOfNi what does sudo blkid say? | 11:18 |
| KnightsOfNi | MonkeyDust, it says /dev/sda5 | 11:19 |

| KnightsOfNi | it doesn't say unallocated, it just says file system unknown | 11:23 |

| KnightsOfNi | I don't know, 10 minutes ago I never heard of grub list | 11:24 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: how about you make your life easy and install ubuntu single on your hd :p | 11:25 |
| KnightsOfNi | I wish :( | 11:25 |
| lotuspsychje | KnightsOfNi: for windows issues you can ask in ##windows | 11:25 |
| ash_m | after my install I'm getting some default apache configuration information instead of the site | 11:25 |

| wiehan_ | MonkeyDust, the drive is from a server | 11:28 |

| ash_m | lotuspsychje: they're not being terribly responsive :\ maybe it's an .htaccess issue | 11:31 |
| lotuspsychje | ash_m: gather as much info you can on your issue and re-ask once in a while | 11:32 |
| BvL | ash_m what’s the issue your having? The last time I used Apache was 6 years ago, but I may be able to point you in the right direction. | 11:34 |
| BvL | I use nginx now, I found it to be much faster and simpler to setup | 11:35 |
| ash_m | BvL: I just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.x (forgot full vers number) and now my site points to /var/www/ instead of /home/web/[site]/public_html | 11:35 |

| ash_m | BvL: not at the moment, but that should be a possibility | 11:39 |
| ash_m | BvL: I believe the why I had it set up in my previous install was to accomodate that | 11:39 |
| BvL | ok, that’s a bit harder to setup in Apache, but if i remember correctly you need to edit the following file "/etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf" | 11:41 |
| ash_m | BvL: what kind of change would I make? | 11:41 |

| napterk_ | k1l, ups sorry mixed that up. And, well, I do have only 1026mhz ram builds installed. Thought this would be recognized | 11:47 |

| ash_m | BvL: it's apache2.conf I think, I'll check what the DirectoryIndex says for both | 12:07 |

| ash_m | Seveas: I'll be happy to get your full input on why after I get this thing working | 12:14 |
| Seveas | ash_m: mostly because they're a hack for people on shared hosting who don't have write access to the config. You do, so stick config in the config and disable .htaccess processing :) | 12:15 |
| BvL | ash_m in that directory tag that you where just talking about, placing it in there "DirectoryIndex index.php" | 12:16 |
| ash_m | Seveas: that might cause issues with my CMS; I'll resolve that later :P | 12:16 |
| ash_m | BvL: that sounds weird, but I'll try it | 12:17 |
| BvL | ash_m according to someone on stackexchange you need it in the main config file to | 12:17 |
| ash_m | BvL: (1) I can't do that with a vhost I don't think... because that path doesn't have an index.php | 12:18 |
| ash_m | BvL: (2) it didn;t work :( | 12:18 |
| BvL | ash_m does the server auto load index.htm ? | 12:22 |
| ash_m | BvL: it loads "pardon our dust" | 12:23 |
| ash_m | I dont know what that is | 12:23 |

| ash_m | Seveas: if you're around, what was your suggested alternative to .htaccess? | 12:27 |
| BvL | ash_m the suggestion is likely move all the settings from .htaccess and add them to your config files | 12:29 |
| ash_m | BvL: what config files? | 12:29 |
| BvL | formally known as httpd.conf and/or 000-default.conf ... any other Apache config file if needed | 12:30 |

| vov_ | hello everyone i have extrnal hard disk ( silicone Power 2 TB ) when i choose eject file manager it unmonted but when i touch body of it still have spin . it seems doesn't power of Ext HD off . now i have question is this satefy for unplug HD ? how i can power off it ? | 12:31 |
| BvL | if you use .htaccess, it should only be for site specific stuff and even then you could do that in the config files so you probably should | 12:32 |
| Paddy_NI | Does anyone know how I can have my VPN connect before user login? | 12:32 |
| EriC^^ | vov_: it's safe to unplug it, it unmounted it but it's still powered on, if you'd like to power it off, type udisksctl power-off -b /dev/sdX | 12:34 |
| BvL | vov_ if the disk is unmounted then it should be "safe" to remove the drive without any corruption, you can usually shut-down external hard-drives using the Disks app in ubuntu | 12:35 |

| popey | inerkick: that ppa hasn't been updated for some time. | 13:28 |
| jatt | is not that is not updated, it doesn't exist | 13:28 |
| popey | yes, it does. | 13:28 |
| popey | https://launchpad.net/~iaz/+archive/ubuntu/battery-status | 13:28 |
| popey | the ppa exists, but hasn't been updated for some years, (ie. no builds for newer releases) | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | popey contact the maintainer of the ppa | 13:29 |
| popey | MonkeyDust: I'm not the one asking. | 13:29 |
| jatt | that ppa doesn't correspond to what the inerkick asked, there is a typo inhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10126034/ | 13:30 |

| popey | jatt: again, no. | 13:30 |
| popey | MonkeyDust: no, it's okay. I'm fine. | 13:31 |
| jatt | why is 404 not found returned then | 13:31 |
| popey | jatt: because inerkick is on trusty, and the ppa hasn't had trusty builds setup | 13:31 |
| popey | jatt: thats what you get if you add a ppa which has no builds for your release | 13:31 |
| popey | (the ppa last had builds for natty) | 13:32 |
| inerkick | than how to resolve that issue popey | 13:32 |
| jatt | so inerkick should remove the ppa if he stays on trusty | 13:32 |
| inerkick | how to remove it | 13:33 |
| popey | inerkick: depends, that ppa wont be updated I expect. You could build the app from source, but its probably not going to work | 13:33 |
| inerkick | ok | 13:33 |
| inerkick | it can i let it be | 13:33 |
| lotuspsychje | !ppapurge | inerkick | 13:33 |

| bodom | jatt: http://pastebin.com/0UHJrYhW | 14:12 |
| hellofolks | hello everyone, this: http://imgur.com/SZAyZhl : occured after backing up a windows partition. can someone shed some light on the matter? | 14:12 |
| ikonia | bodom: is this a virtual machine | 14:12 |
| bodom | ikonia: no | 14:12 |
| ikonia | bodom: physical box ? | 14:12 |
| k1l | bodom: what system is that? | 14:13 |
| bodom | ikonia: yes, very phisical. it's about 15kg heavy | 14:13 |
| ikonia | bodom: is there a roof file sytem defined in /etc/fstab | 14:13 |
| king | i have lenovo g510 and i installed ubuntu but there is no wireless. | 14:13 |
| ikonia | bodom: and can you show me the output of uname -a please | 14:13 |
| bodom | k1l: it's an ubuntu server 14.10 | 14:13 |
| jatt | and what does cat /etc/fstab say? | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | king, which wifi chip ? | 14:13 |
| celexi | hellofolks did you backup the hard drive of a hibernated windows | 14:14 |
| celexi | or a windows 8.x with fastboot on | 14:14 |
| bodom | ikonia: Linux transylvania 3.16.0-29-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 15 22:27:29 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 14:14 |
| king | BluesKaj, how do i know | 14:14 |
| bodom | jatt: /etc/fstab and "mount" show the root partition | 14:14 |
| k1l | bodom: did you set it up? what does "dmesg" show regarding that? | 14:14 |
| ikonia | bodom: can you show us the ouptut of "mount" please | 14:14 |
| hellofolks | celexi, it was fully shut down as far as i know. it was a win 10 beta. this was given to me by someone else recently | 14:15 |
| MonkeyDust | bodom what's the output of cat /etc/issue | 14:15 |
| bodom | ikonia: that's mount http://pastebin.com/Gj0kVfJ4 | 14:15 |
| ikonia | bodom: and /etc/mtab | 14:16 |
| celexi | hellofolks using shutdown on windows 10 without turning off fastboot the partition stays in a state similar to hibernation | 14:16 |
| k1l | hellofolks: windows uses a "quick restart" option that will not shut down the filesystem properly | 14:16 |
| bodom | k1l: basically, every tools I have tried says /dev/sda1 is mounted on /, except of df | 14:16 |
| ikonia | celexi: how is that an ubuntu problem ? | 14:16 |
| jatt | seems like a missmatch between the root partition's UUID at boot and the UUID in /etc/fstab | 14:16 |
| celexi | well ikonia he was asking why his windows partition was not mounting in his ubuntu | 14:16 |
| ikonia | I don't think it's a missmatch - there is nothing to suggest a uuid difference | 14:16 |
| celexi | after moving it | 14:16 |
| k1l | hellofolks: if you dont have the windows anymore you could force the mount and hope that it will not break | 14:16 |
| ikonia | bodom: whats in /etc/mtab | 14:17 |
| jatt | can you confirm the UUID used in the grub menu is the same as the one you have in /etc/fstab | 14:17 |
| bodom | ikonia: /etc/mtab: http://pastebin.com/wGgE20Kk | 14:17 |
| ikonia | grub??? | 14:17 |
| ikonia | what has grub got to do with this | 14:17 |
| hellofolks | k1l, how would i go about that. this is on the backup drive by the way | 14:17 |
| bodom | MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 14.10 \n \l | 14:17 |
| ikonia | bodom: thats very interesting with mtab containing it | 14:17 |
| bodom | the partition is mounted by uuid, like any other partition, but afaik, uuid is correct | 14:18 |
| k1l | hellofolks: http://askubuntu.com/questions/500647/unable-to-mount-ntfs-external-hard-drive | 14:18 |
| blacknred0 | does anybody know how to install vmware 8 on ubuntu 14.04? Been searching and haven't been able to find anything that would work. | 14:18 |
| ikonia | bodom: if you do a "sudo mount -a" what does it sa ? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | say | 14:19 |
| celexi | do you mean vmware workstation blacknred0? | 14:19 |
| blacknred0 | celexi ys | 14:19 |
| bodom | ikonia: nothing | 14:20 |
| blacknred0 | yes | 14:20 |
| ikonia | bodom: so it does actually match up against mtab then, most odd | 14:20 |
| ikonia | bodom: and I assume df is still not showing it | 14:20 |
| hellofolks | k1l, hmm, do i have to worry about losing data with that? | 14:20 |
| celexi | are you not able to use 11 blacknred0? | 14:20 |
| bodom | I've found one interesting thing: df -ah shows it as "-". http://pastebin.com/5DHmhB71 | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | king, lspci in the terminal, look for Network Controller....Wireless Network Adapter | 14:21 |
| bodom | ikonia: no, actually only "-a" flag shows it as "-". I don't know what it means, I'm reading man | 14:21 |
| ikonia | bodom: most odd, never seen that behaviour before | 14:21 |
| blacknred0 | celexi: I don't have a license for 11, but I do for 8. I checked the vmware site and it seems that the upgrade only starts at 9. | 14:21 |
| ikonia | bodom: if it wasn't in mtab, I'd understand, but as mtab matches up, thats very odd | 14:22 |
| ikonia | bodom: stupid thing, but can you actually write to anything in / | 14:22 |
| ikonia | bodom: eg: sudo touch /test.file | 14:22 |
| blacknred0 | celexi: are you thinking that 8 might not work with 14.04 because of the major changes on the kernels + vmware haven't made any more updates to workstation 8? | 14:22 |
| celexi | it probably is going to be difficult to make that to work on that ubuntu | 14:22 |
| bodom | ikonia: yes, ofc :) | 14:22 |
| jatt | what does | 14:22 |
| jatt | sudo blkid /dev/sda1 | 14:22 |
| jatt | say? does it match the UUID in /etc/fstab | 14:22 |
| celexi | yeahblacknred0 | 14:22 |
| celexi | vmware hasn't updated that in a while | 14:23 |
| king | BluesKaj, now i'm in windows can i know the windows alternative of lspci | 14:23 |
| bodom | jatt: it does match | 14:23 |
| celexi | device manager king, this is an ubuntu channel though | 14:24 |
| bodom | maybe it's some sort of filesystem corruption? | 14:24 |
| king | actually the problem is in ubuntu | 14:24 |
| cfhowlett | king then boot ubuntu for the fix. | 14:25 |
| jatt | as last check confirm that the uuid also is used in /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 14:25 |
| blacknred0 | celexi: thanks for your input. I guess I just have to take the bullet on this one. | 14:25 |
| kokut | Hello, I just Installed cairo-dock and now all my fonts settings have been changed, including the ones used by text editors like Gedit, anyone knows a way to revert/fix this? | 14:25 |
| king | from ubuntu i cannot use irc | 14:25 |
| cfhowlett | king, what? why? | 14:26 |
| hellofolks | k1l, hmm, do i have to worry about losing data with that? | 14:26 |
| king | there is no wireless in ubuntu. so | 14:26 |
| bodom | jatt: I have same uuid on grub, even if I don't think it can be the cause because system boots flawlessly | 14:26 |
| king | Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter | 14:27 |
| king | is my network adapter | 14:27 |
| k1l | hellofolks: well. i will not guarantee that you are safe. if you want to have less risk i would try to attach it to a windows pc and let it fix it | 14:27 |
| bodom | ok, last funny think: if i force df to /dev/sda1, then i finally have correct output: http://pastebin.com/mjZQWXv7 | 14:28 |
| bodom | maybe I should report a bug? | 14:29 |
| hellofolks | k1l, alright, thanks. i'll give it a shot after a bit and report back. | 14:29 |
| hellofolks | have a good day everyone | 14:30 |

| Surkow|laptop | Hi guys. I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.04 which has no automatic trim for SSDs. A day or so ago I manually used fstrim and freed up 9GB on a samsung evo 840 500GB SSD (which I assumed was supported, as Ubuntu only supports trim for intel and samsung SSDs). Now the result is that my computer is unusable. Everything is slow and firefox and chrome just stall loading pages. There are no other background tasks running. Is there anything | 14:34 |
| Surkow|laptop | I can do to make it fast again? It seems like anything using file access has become extremely slow. | 14:34 |
| king | coz i also tried mint and fedora, still not working. but its working in windows. | 14:34 |

| nbusrone | anyone can recommend an application to search for EXIF date in gui ? | 14:41 |
| blb13135 | you mean you want a gui to grep for spcific exif in many pictures? | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | A GUI to grep? Really? | 14:48 |
| cfhowlett | certainly possible but ... seems like a darn ugly hack | 14:49 |
| nbusrone | blb13135 : something like that .Just a search tools. I install gnome-search-tools but it doesn't have EXIF search result | 14:49 |
| MonkeyDust | nbusrone is this what you want? http://geeqie.sourceforge.net/ | 14:50 |
| g3ky | nbusrone, That data is already accessable through the default ubuntu image viewer. | 14:50 |
| kokut | is there another way of changing the fonts instead of using gnome-tweak-tool? because most of it is not working. | 14:50 |
| BluesKaj | king, login to ubuntu and connect an ethernet cable so you can run commands in the terminal, so we can help you | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | kokut: changing which font? | 14:51 |
| nbusrone | g3ky , MonkeyDust : I mean for searching patten like I wanted to search "1-1-2014 to 1-1-2015" according to EXIF | 14:51 |
| blb13135 | nbusrone: the identify cli utility is part of image magic. It will print requested exif info. A simple bash script around it will do. In case you don't find anything sutable on the gui front | 14:52 |
| kokut | ActionParsnip: the one being used by text editors for example, I use sublime text, Gedit, etc and now they all look really bad | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kokut: you can set the font for gedit to use in gedit itself as far as I am aware | 14:53 |
| blb13135 | or you could use glade to create a simple ui and pygtk builder to load it. Very simple | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | kokut: Preferences ▸ Font & Colors. | 14:53 |
| MonkeyDust | blb13135 "simple" depends on how technically skilled you are | 14:53 |
| blb13135 | no, it's really intuitive and simple | 14:54 |
| kokut | ActionParsnip: in what version of ubuntu? | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | kokut: I'd imagine it's universal. Gedit is a simple creature | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | kokut: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 14:55 |
| kokut | 14.04 | 14:55 |
| blb13135 | just google for 'glade pygtk examples' and you'll find tons of them. 20 min of work and you're done. Don't even need to know python well | 14:56 |
| Surkow|laptop | I suppose an ssd performing with 51.65 MB/sec for Timing buffered disk reads is not exactly working as it should. Is there anything I can do to remedy this? | 14:57 |
| blb13135 | is nbusrone still here? | 14:57 |
| nbusrone | blb13135 : yep just saw your reply :) | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: are you seeing slowness in your OS? | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | blb13135 that's "google", "work" and "python" for someone who's not technically skilled | 14:58 |
| Surkow|laptop | ActionParsnip, everything is slow. Even typing is terrible. Lag in everything. | 14:58 |
| Surkow|laptop | Happened since yesterday - prior to this I didn't have any issues. | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: have you got your video hardware setup ok? | 14:59 |
| blb13135 | nbusrone: here is an example of using identify to get width and height | 14:59 |

| kokut | Wel i just fixed it installing gnome-shell, how curious | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: did you install the Intel GPU driver? OmgUbuntu has a guide for it | 15:00 |
| Surkow|laptop | bleeding edge driver? I'd rather not. I already had to disable SNA acceleration because of the heavy instability of the newer drivers. | 15:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: tried a non compositing session like xfce | 15:01 |
| Surkow|laptop | yep, currently running it | 15:02 |
| Surkow|laptop | It had been working fine for over half a year until yesterday - when I ran fstrim manually. Thinking it might help me make my ssd faster. It actually did exactly the opposite. After firefox crashed on me and I rebooted the entire system has been slow. | 15:03 |
| === someon is now known as someone | ||
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: did you upgrade before the reboot? | 15:05 |
| Surkow|laptop | I actually postponed an upgrade from the system (updating firefox and system libraries) until after the reboot. So I think that is not what is causing it. | 15:06 |
| Surkow|laptop | there was no kernel upgrade or anything - it affects only programs that use a lot of tmp files or disc activity in general | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: add "vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50" into /etc/sysctl.conf and reboot is it OK? | 15:10 |
| Surkow|laptop | hmm, so that'd be reducing the tendency to reclaim swap space back to memory | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: what is the output of : cat /etc/issue | 15:13 |
| Surkow|laptop | Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: also set vm.swappiness to something low like 2. I assume you have a decent amount of RAM. | 15:14 |
| Surkow|laptop | ActionParsnip, 4GB of RAM. I'll be trying out your suggestions soon - have to try a few things before being able to reboot. | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Surkow|laptop: 4Gb is enough | 15:16 |

| k1l | j1n3l0: i really would try to fix the issue on a clean isntall of 14.04. because you will get the same issue when upgrading anyway | 15:38 |
| j1n3l0 | i'll give that a go | 15:39 |
| j1n3l0 | thanks all :) | 15:39 |
| ActionParsnip | j1n3l0: if the system is low specced then Xubuntu may be a good choice | 15:39 |
| j1n3l0 | ActionParsnip - it's a reasonably specced machine | 15:40 |
| j1n3l0 | but i'll try another install | 15:40 |
| ActionParsnip | j1n3l0: then Ubuntu or kubuntu will be fine | 15:40 |

| joppep | hi guys lookin for some help on mounting | 15:42 |
| MonkeyDust | joppep let's hear it | 15:42 |
| c31r2g | joppep what sort of mounting | 15:42 |
| joppep | after a power outtage my disk wouldnt mount anymore | 15:42 |
| joppep | is filesystem corrupted? | 15:42 |
| joppep | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 15:43 |
| joppep | got this^ | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | joppep: boot to live CD and you can run an feck on the partition | 15:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Fsck. Sorry | 15:43 |
| joppep | ActionParsnip: ok 1 q first tho, i also got this when i ran fdiskWARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. | 15:45 |
| QueensMelons | Guys, do I need to do a reinstall if I install the 15.04 alpha, when It comes out? | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | joppep: then run: sudo parted -l | 15:45 |
| blb13135 | labirynth - 'while ( true ); do if [ $(expr $RANDOM PONG :verne.freenode.net | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | joppep: parted is what you will need, not fdisk. | 15:46 |

| MonkeyDust | !15.04 | QueensMelons | 15:46 |
| ubottu | QueensMelons: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 | 15:46 |
| joppep | ok ill have to install that first ... i followed some guide when i built that computer. im not very good with linux :) | 15:47 |
| c31r2g | QueensMelons apt-get distuograde | 15:47 |
| ActionParsnip | QueensMelons: no just run upgrades as normal and you will upgrade through to the release candidate | 15:47 |
| teward | c31r2g: that won't fix it. | 15:47 |
| QueensMelons | Nice | 15:48 |
| ActionParsnip | joppep: it's in the live CD. You will need the live CD so that the partition is unmounted | 15:48 |

| RealTimeCat | I'm trying to find a desktop for my wife to use as she is probably going to switch to linux after Windows-7 - Win 8.x was a disaster no one in our home would use and it looks like MS is going to a pay-as-you go subscription model with win 10 | 16:37 |

| SAKUJ0 | should i take care during a deja dup backup that my files remain unchanged? | 17:16 |
| SAKUJ0 | or does duplicity cache changes instantly to ~/.cache so as to allow me to proceed working the next 5-6 hours (my upload to google drive is slow) | 17:17 |
| bekks | SAKUJ0: Generally yes, you should take care about that. And ~/.cache/ is totally unimportant, and you can safely exclude it from your backups. | 17:17 |
| === `hypermist` is now known as pcupgrades | ||
| SAKUJ0 | i suppose that is particularly important when doing *safe* backups, where you have the system at a desired state before changes and expect to revert | 17:18 |
| bekks | SAKUJ0: For doing consistent backups, you generally either need to use snapshots, or you need to take offline backups. For regular user-driven backup, it is safe to exclude ~/.cache/ from your backups. | 17:20 |
| SAKUJ0 | is the cache thing really important? or do you bring it up because i mentioned it? | 17:21 |
| SAKUJ0 | currently i only exclude --exclude /proc --exclude /sys --exclude /tmp | 17:21 |
| bekks | SAKUJ0: Third time: "It is safe to exclude ~/.cache/ from your backups". | 17:22 |

| Aleksa | That has reduced the waiting time for 8 seconds (that means I still have to wait 7 seconds after GRUB2 selection has completed until plymouth appears) | 18:20 |
| brx_ | ActionParsnip, just imagine the folder was local, how would you install it then? | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: that is in a default install | 18:20 |

| joppep | oh lord | 18:22 |
| nicomachus | Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS \n \l | 18:22 |
| nicomachus | ^ ActionParsnip | 18:22 |
| joppep | when i carried that big-ass copmuter down from the attic i must have hit it somehow | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !info openssh-client trusty | 18:23 |
| ubottu | openssh-client (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines. In component main, is standard. Version 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 564 kB, installed size 3776 kB | 18:23 |
| joppep | cause the southbridge fan was loose when i opened it up | 18:23 |
| joppep | yet another reason to get a ups. this case isnt for carrying it around | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: see that 'is standard'? | 18:23 |
| nicomachus | well, apt-get install openssh-client installed a few hundred kb worth of packages, so I'm glad I ran it anyway. | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: so no, my command is right and will give a standard SFTP server | 18:24 |
| nicomachus | ok, anyway, we're past that. | 18:25 |
| nicomachus | I need to change the TCP port to tunnel into the PC I want to connect to? | 18:25 |
| dinosaur | what command should I use to download gcc sources which are shipped with my Ubuntu distribution and how to build that? | 18:25 |
| dinosaur | tried apt-get source gcc | 18:25 |
| dinosaur | doesn't seem like it fetches what was requested | 18:25 |
| ararob | anyone have this problem with Google Earth ? http://tinypic.com/r/2yoqvd0/8 , whenever i try to get directions from A to B. | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: you can connect to SFTP using Nautilus (also part of the default install, just like openssh-client) as well as with Android using AndFTP | 18:26 |
| nicomachus | what is SFTP? | 18:26 |
| nicomachus | nvm | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: secure file transfer protocol | 18:26 |
| [1]MN | secured file transfer protocol | 18:26 |
| trism | dinosaur: gcc is in gcc-defaults which is just a meta package, you probably want a gcc version, like gcc-4.8 | 18:26 |
| k1l_ | nicomachus: its like a ftp but its running on the ssh server. | 18:27 |
| nea1 | hi, is there a way how i can configure radvd that it announces an other gateway? (like "i have fe80::1 and take ::/0 and fe80::2 takes 2a00:abcd::/64") | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: you authenticate using the same username and password you log in to the Ubuntu OS with | 18:27 |
| nicomachus | I'm a complete noob when it comes to networking, FYI. haha. my dad is the pro at this, but he's a few hundred miles away. | 18:27 |

| ghrs_ | what is the command to bring up a help screen/command list? I'm not getting feedback from any of the cmds I'm trying | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: if you port forward 22 TCP to one of your systems and give him your WAN IP, he can access the data on your system securely | 18:30 |
| dinosaur | ghrs_: in what? help, man, whatis | 18:31 |
| ghrs_ | help | 18:31 |
| nicomachus | I'd rather not have my dad SSH'd into my laptop. :P Lol | 18:31 |
| unomystEz | anyone here have a hidpi laptop screen and lowdpi external monitor? I'm setting my terminal fonts to like size 22 for my hidpi screen but they're huge on my external monitor, wondering how you get around it if even possible? | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: you don't have to be good at networking with a home network. It's a single subnet and your router is managing the network | 18:31 |
| ghrs_ | dinosaur: trying to /ping people or /help won't send feedback/output to stdout | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: you will have control over the access and his account. | 18:32 |
| Wug | nicomachus: do you have scp? I'm pretty sure it comes along with openssh-client but not 100% | 18:32 |
| nicomachus | it would also require him to actually want to take the time to teach me the things he never bothered to teach me in the 18 years I lived with him, so I'll just try to figure it out on my own. | 18:33 |
| Wug | scp is secure copy protocol and basically pipes files between computers using ssh | 18:33 |
| Wug | maybe its just secure copy | 18:33 |
| Wug | i know the 's' is secure :P | 18:33 |
| ghrs_ | you've got it ^ | 18:34 |
| ghrs_ | secure copy | 18:34 |
| Wug | are you using any other hardware? like a router maybe? | 18:34 |
| nicomachus | Wug: Just my home wireless router. | 18:34 |
| Wug | oh that should be pretty easy then | 18:34 |
| nicomachus | You would think so. ;) | 18:34 |
| dinosaur | ghrs_: it may be a problem with your IRC client, as it is with mine | 18:35 |
| skweek | ok tell me this isn't weird | 18:35 |
| dinosaur | trism: thanks, but I'm not sure if even that is what I wanted to have. I can't see any configure script there | 18:35 |
| ghrs_ | dino: okay, any suggestions? /ping <nick> should reply to me, right? | 18:36 |
| Wug | you dont have to do any ip configuration, all of the automatic stuff should be good enough. figure out the ip address of each computer (ifconfig should show it), then from the source machine, invoke scp thusly: scp /path/to/files/to/copy [remote-ip]:/path/to/copy/to | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: it's a great protocol and easy to setup. Obeys factory standards and is secured | 18:36 |
| skweek | I have a static wireless network in my wireless drop down that mysteriously appeared there | 18:36 |
| nicomachus | ActionParsnip: I got openssh installed on both machines. Just don't know what to do next. | 18:36 |
| skweek | http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/7onk1hj4y0njrwy2gyi.png | 18:36 |
| Wug | scp can also copy from remote computers instead of to them, with scp [remote-ip]:/path/to/file /local/path/to/copy/to | 18:36 |
| [1]MN | how to send documents across irc | 18:37 |
| [1]MN | chats | 18:37 |
| Wug | it will prompt for your ssh login credentials, unless you have passwordless login (i.e. with rsa keys or something similar) configured | 18:37 |
| MonkeyDust | skweek what's there to see on that picture? | 18:37 |
| nicomachus | Wug: it's not prompting me for anything. | 18:38 |
| Wug | nicomachus: does the remote computer have an ssh server on it | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | nicomachus: in nautilus you can connect to the other system | 18:38 |
| Wug | you'll need one of those | 18:38 |
| onla | how can I take a screenshot other than print scrn button cus it doesnt work atm | 18:38 |
| Wug | nicomachus: what did it output | 18:39 |
| nicomachus | ActionParsnip: under Browse Network? | 18:39 |
| dinosaur | trism: OK, seems like I figured out how to get it to work. Thank you, although I'm not yet sure if it will do. | 18:39 |
| nicomachus | Wug: No output, I haven't put in any commands yeet. | 18:39 |
| nicomachus | yet* | 18:40 |
| Wug | well that would explain why its not prompting | 18:40 |
| trism | dinosaur: the gcc package is pretty weird (compared to most packages) because it builds several things, so you just get a tarball of the source | 18:40 |
| trism | dinosaur: plus the scripts to build the debian package | 18:40 |
| skweek | the network on top of the list | 18:40 |
| nicomachus | Wug: What command should I be using? | 18:41 |

| lastkingbangs1 | i need some help | 18:41 |
| nicomachus | I can be on either. This IRC is on the source. | 18:42 |

| nicomachus | asks for Username, Domain, and Password | 18:49 |
| dinosaur | daioria: no. I tried to go to the subdirectory "gcc" in gcc-4.8.2, and it has a Makefiles, but compilation stops anyway. Also, it doesn't seem that it's what I wanted. | 18:49 |

| znc_ | ntfs-3g right | 18:53 |
| dinosaur | daioria: I'm in the directory gcc-4.8-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2, though. | 18:53 |
| skweek | so I see this network on the top of my wireless networking drop down that i've never seen before the "Store's iPhone Network" http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/7onk1hj4y0njrwy2gyi.png and I'm wondering does anyone know where to investigate this menu item? | 18:53 |
| pavlos_ | nicomachus, if you know the IP of the target, you should be able to enter IP and user/pass. "Workgroup" is just a domain name. | 18:53 |
| nicomachus | pavlos_ it doesn't ask for IP anywhere. | 18:54 |
| znc_ | it seems to be installed hmm | 18:54 |
| nicomachus | I tried putting the destination PCs username into that box and then it's user-password, but no go. | 18:55 |

| JoshDreamland | Why are python bindings not installed with libaspell-dev? | 18:55 |
| dinosaur | daioria: probably. Pitty that I can't find it, but will keep searching | 18:55 |

| daioria | dinosaur: : preshing.com/2014119/how-to-build-a-gcc-cross-compiler | 18:56 |
| pavlos_ | nicomachus, seems the target system does not share anything. Usually, you configure samba on the target, create a /mnt/public which can be shared around your network. | 18:56 |
| daioria | dinosaur: : preshing.com/20141119/how-to-build-a-gcc-cross-compiler, sorry | 18:56 |
| nicomachus | ok, target system does not have samba installed. installing now. | 18:57 |

| raowji | hello everyone, I need to provide not so technical users with a method of getting the embed code of an image. with firefox it is easy, you can extract file names and dimensions simply from 'view image info' in the right-click menu..I presume this feature is special to firefox..could you recommend any other easy way to get these values, except from 'inspect element', which I think might be not so straightforward for some users? | 18:58 |
| dinosaur | daioria: thx, but they're taking a lot from the external sources instead of relying on sources which are part of the distribution. If there's no other choice, I'll go with that. | 18:58 |
| daioria | dinosaur: good luck i'm interested too | 18:59 |
| dinosaur | daioria: thx | 18:59 |
| nicomachus | screw it, I gotta shower and go to an open house for a robotics club for work. I'll just buy a crossover cable on my way home, I guess. | 18:59 |

| SchrodingersScat | raowji: curl can also pull the html for a page, then you can parse/filter that for what you're looking for. | 19:01 |
| nicomachus | pavlos_ I could... but I only have a 4gb and need to transfer 145gb of music. | 19:01 |
| JoshDreamland | wow, this is a new kind of aggravating | 19:03 |
| pavlos_ | nicomachus, I think you're better off setting up samba. BTW, not sure if you need a crossover cable, more eth45 devices now are self-sensing. | 19:03 |

| thllht | Hello, can maybe somebody help me? I already all day try to get writing rights to my external drive, but it doesn't work... | 20:04 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest90075 | ||
| thllht | i tried to use chown and chmod, but I think I did some mistake | 20:05 |
| OerHeks | thllht, what format is that ext drive? NTFS ? | 20:05 |
| thllht | ext4, I have to say, I formatted the drive on another computer with OS Kali, and formatting was done under root. | 20:06 |
| FBI | thllht: chown/chmod it then | 20:07 |
| thllht | i get the response in bash, that system is read-only | 20:07 |
| FBI | asuming it is not mounted read only | 20:07 |
| teward | thllht: can `root` / `sudo` write to the derive? | 20:08 |
| teward | drive( | 20:08 |
| teward | grrr, bleh | 20:08 |
| teward | stupid keyboard | 20:08 |
| FBI | findmnt /what/ever to see if it is mounted read-only or not | 20:08 |
| thllht | i normally do not use bash for that, but the gui "drive manager", just a moment i will try | 20:08 |
| teward | thllht: `bash` is just saying the same thing the 'drive manager' would be saying - the issue is that we need to see whether your user is not permitted to write, or whether the drive is actually mounted as "read only" | 20:09 |
| krooyh | FBI: if you can point me, i did run in nomodeset, now i get login window but after login i get blank desktop. on console i did purge nvidia and i want to get default display driver back, how can I do that? | 20:09 |
| FBI | krooyh: install the new driver from the ppa | 20:10 |
| FBI | and it should just work(tm) | 20:10 |
| krooyh | it didnt | 20:10 |
| krooyh | i installed nvidia-current | 20:10 |
| FBI | read the xorg log | 20:10 |
| krooyh | ok | 20:10 |
| FBI | krooyh: which version was -current at? | 20:10 |
| krooyh | idk ;| | 20:10 |
| FBI | check it | 20:10 |
| krooyh | how? | 20:10 |
| OerHeks | thllht, If it mounts read only, you might need to check the partitions > fsck /dev/sd(your hdd) -v -y | 20:11 |
| thllht | I cannot mount the device. After clicking in drive manager, i get an error: | 20:11 |

| Sunson | Hi All. I need a little help with VirtualBox. Anyone know about it? Is this the place to ask? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Sunson: what is the issue | 20:13 |
| MonkeyDust | thllht i thinks it's the quotes | 20:13 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: what filesystem are you trying to mount? | 20:13 |
| thllht | result from fsck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10131120/ | 20:14 |
| thllht | it is ext4 | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | QueensMelons: you can upgrade to Vivid from Utopia. You will need to for continuing support as Utopic is EOL in July | 20:15 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: have you fsck'd it with the file system unmounted? | 20:15 |
| thllht | the english translation of that message would be "invalid magic figure in superblock" | 20:15 |
| thllht | i am not sure, i think yes | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: did you try the different super block as stated in your paste in? | 20:16 |
| thllht | i dont know how to do it | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/sdb1 | 20:17 |

| nindustries | Hi, trying to connect my synology to a webdav server (apache2 on debian). Im getting the "Not a WebDAV enabled share" error; suggestions? On my server, I see the '/webdav/ file not found' error. I can visit/mount the file fine on other systems.. | 20:17 |
| Sunson | ActionParsnip: I'm running ubuntu as the host with a win xp guest. I'm having issues being able to access files between the host and guest, vice versa... | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Sunson: did you install the guest additions? | 20:19 |
| Sunson | ActionParsnip: I thought I did threw the software center...maybe i'm not mapping the drive correctly? | 20:20 |
| thllht | there are many messages. I am all the time asked, if i want to repair. I always press y | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Sunson: in the menus on the VM there is an option to install the guest additions in the VM. You need them for this to work | 20:20 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: sounds like the file system isn't healthy. Do you use the safe remove feature in the OS before unplugging the USB cable? | 20:21 |
| thllht | yes, normally. But when trying to unmount i got today some error messages, so i already several unplugged and plugged back the hd to my laptop | 20:22 |
| nix__ | exit | 20:22 |
| Sunson | ActionParsnip: I don't see one..I installed guest additions from the software center and restarted... | 20:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Sunson install guest additions in vbox itself | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Sunson: http://i.stack.imgur.com/21L30.png | 20:23 |
| thllht | i cancelled the e2fsck, because it might take hours | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sunson: you need to do it that way. The package you installed is for Ubuntu as a guest OS | 20:24 |
| thllht | can't i reformat the whole drive? | 20:24 |
| ActionParsnip | thllht: if you want, yes | 20:24 |
| thllht | can i do it in bash? | 20:25 |

| Sunson | ActionParsnip: ok that makes sense. Seems i thought about it a little backwards...so i need to install it within my xp guest? | 20:26 |

| TiZ | Hi there. I have a weird thing going on with my battery. Upower says the state is fully charged, but the percentage is 98%. How can I fix this? | 20:45 |
| malimbar | TiZ, those sound like the same thing. you don't normally want batteries sitting at 100% all the time, you want them to wiggle a few percentage to keep them from wearing out | 20:46 |
| malimbar | mac's do something similar | 20:46 |
| malimbar | probably windows as well, though I'm not sure | 20:46 |
| TiZ | malimbar: I've never heard that before. I'm just concerned because it always used to say 100% and then it suddenly started doing this 98% business. | 20:48 |
| mined | yeah, that "problem" is on all laptops.. | 20:48 |
| malimbar | if you let it go to 95%, does it start charging back up? | 20:48 |
| TiZ | malimbar: Good question, let's test it. | 20:48 |
| malimbar | sure thing. I can google a few things if you want, but that sounds normal to me | 20:49 |
| === methyl is now known as Guest28783 | ||

| EriC^^ | MarkLessanger: are you talking about the burn effect that happens after you close a window? | 21:09 |
| MarkLessanger | yeah, or menu items. For instance I open the application menu in gnome 3 and it used to use a burning animaiton. however, this animation is no longer in my list | 21:10 |

| Nytram | Example: I had USB 3 support enabled in my bios and a few USB 2 devices plugged into those ports, although recognised my boot time was 45 seconds longer. | 21:52 |
| Nytram | Just a thought. | 21:52 |
| Exagone313 | can anyone reply to my question please? | 21:52 |
| Exagone313 | i want to create a ptr record for an ipv6 using bind9 | 21:53 |
| Exagone313 | how to do it please | 21:53 |
| Nytram | I have no idea what you're talking about but I googled your exact question and got loads of results, the first of which was this... http://rdns6.com/hostRecord | 21:55 |
| Exagone313 | forget my question, i used he.net | 22:04 |

| frank_ | thats good | 22:07 |
| TiZ | malimbar: Thanks for your help; have a good day. | 22:08 |
| malimbar | TiZ, glad to be useful :) | 22:09 |
| frank_ | does anyone have an issue with the screen going to sleep and not being able to get it back up? | 22:09 |
| frank_ | usually i have to shut down | 22:09 |
| malimbar | frank_, that's weird. using default ubuntu? | 22:09 |
| frank_ | using xubuntu | 22:10 |
| frank_ | this computer is slow thats why | 22:10 |
| frank_ | everything is working really well but when the screen goes black it won't come back on for some reason | 22:10 |
| frank_ | i have just turned that feature off for now | 22:12 |
| malimbar | the feature being just to turn the screen off? | 22:12 |
| ash_m | if you download apticron do you need to set Unattended-Upgrade::Mail in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades ? | 22:12 |
| frank_ | yes thats right | 22:12 |
| ash_m | frank_: who was that @? | 22:12 |
| frank_ | using: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS | 22:12 |
| EriC^^ | frank_: which vga? | 22:13 |
| goddard | i had my virtual hosts working fine and then I rebooted the VM and now nothing works but localhost | 22:13 |
| ash_m | frank_: ah, clearly not me | 22:13 |
| ash_m | :P | 22:13 |
| frank_ | sorry guys i am getting things confused | 22:13 |
| frank_ | it was for malimbar | 22:13 |
| malimbar | frank_, what have you done so far to troubleshoot? I'm pretty noobie myself, so googling away | 22:14 |
| frank_ | malimbar, i did google for a bit but it didn't bother me that much. All i did now was turn off put screen to sleep after xx min | 22:15 |
| GizWiz | Is it possible to install GUFW when I'm offline? | 22:15 |
| malimbar | frank_, have you messed with the graphics drivers at all? | 22:15 |
| ash_m | frank_: np :P | 22:15 |

| malimbar | frank_, I would try changing them - ie if you're using a proprietary one, then switch to a different version or the open source one | 22:16 |
| frank_ | malimbar, thanks if it bothers me even more i'll try that | 22:16 |
| malimbar | frank_, also, what graphics card d oyou have? amd, nvidia, intel? | 22:16 |
| EriC^^ | frank_: i have a similar issue coming from suspend using the fglrx-updates driver, on the open source one i dont have an issue, plus it runs cooler | 22:17 |
| frank_ | malimbar, its on a laptop and i am not sure | 22:17 |
| EriC^^ | frank_: type lspci | grep VGA | 22:17 |
| ash_m | https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html doesn't make it clear if Unattended-Upgrade::Mail needs to be enabled when installing apticron | 22:17 |

| frank_ | EriC^^, thanks for your hlep | 22:18 |
| EriC^^ | np | 22:19 |
| ash_m | Oops, that's old anyway; the up-to-date version doesn't specify that either though: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html | 22:19 |
| ash_m | it just says: "Another useful package is apticron. " | 22:20 |
| malimbar | yeah, thanks EriC^^. frank_, I'd open up the "additional drivers" utility and change your driver | 22:20 |
| frank_ | malimbar, this laptop is from back when the dinosaurs use to live on earth | 22:20 |
| ash_m | It doesn't really say if "Unattended-Update::Mail" is still required if you're using apticron | 22:20 |
| frank_ | malimbar, thanks :) | 22:22 |
| malimbar | hope it helps | 22:22 |
| frank_ | malimbar, that utility does not find any additional drivers | 22:22 |
| malimbar | darn | 22:22 |
| frank_ | malimbar, i am good though, everything is running very very fast with xubuntu | 22:22 |

| frank_ | thanks everyone. Have a good day | 22:28 |
| k1l_ | !away | WLM | 22:28 |
| ubottu | WLM: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently. See also «/msg ubottu Guidelines» | 22:28 |
| daftykins | etronik: you can't, it's pretty much dead. you can either install chrome with pepperflash, or attempt a pepperflash wrapper for firefox. or, uninstall flash and use HTML5 in firefox | 22:28 |
| ash_m | k1l_: I get an noisy away nick, but what's a noisy away message? | 22:29 |
| etronik | daftykins, you mean it's dead... for Firefox ? ou Ubuntu in general ? | 22:29 |

| k1l_ | ash_m: the /me message script from that user | 22:29 |

| ash_m | so | 22:30 |
| * ash_m is doing something | 22:30 | |
| ash_m | is a "message" | 22:30 |
| ash_m | ? | 22:30 |
| daftykins | etronik: Flash on Linux is dead, it's meant to only be getting security updates. this has been true for years. Pepper flash is Google's own maintained flash player for chrome | 22:30 |
| k1l_ | ash_m: please keep this channel for ubuntu support only. if you have questions regarding the guidelines you can ask in #ubuntu-ops | 22:31 |
| etronik | daftykins, but... current version of Flash should still work with most stuff no ? I mean... I'm maintaining PC for my MUM, I wanna keep it simple... | 22:31 |
| ash_m | k1l_: sorry, I felt it was just general irc lingo that wasn't here nor there; I won't pester any further | 22:31 |
| ash_m | k1l_: thanks for helping me understand the message anyway :) | 22:32 |
| daftykins | etronik: sorry, Adobe ruined that when they refused to keep supporting Flash - and in some peoples opinions, Mozilla ruined it by refusing to switch to supporting non-NPAPI plugins. install chrome for her if you want an easy option. | 22:32 |
| etronik | daftykins, ok, chrome it will be, thanks | 22:33 |
| ash_m | anyone have any input with my concern about https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html ? | 22:33 |

| ash_m | daftykins: no, I'm just asking what the configuration is supposed to be; the clarity of the documenation is an annecdote | 22:36 |
| temhaa | sudo rm -rf /bin | 22:36 |
| temhaa | how can I solve this problem | 22:36 |
| temhaa | I am sorry | 22:36 |
| temhaa | I am using ubuntu 14.04 | 22:36 |
| daftykins | ash_m: then no, not familiar with any topics to do with mail. | 22:36 |
| daftykins | temhaa: you can't, reinstall | 22:36 |
| kostkon | temhaa, reinstall? | 22:36 |
| ash_m | daftykins: is there a better channel for that/ | 22:36 |
| OerHeks | temhaa, reinstall i guess. | 22:36 |
| ash_m | daftykins: ?* | 22:36 |

| Bashing-om | temhaa: (RE-)install. You will never get that system directory back in working order with full confidence . | 22:37 |
| ash_m | daftykins: sorry, I am not sure what that means... highlighting = starting out with your name? or addressing the topic? | 22:37 |

| ash_m | I truely mean no disrespect or to irritate or annoy anyone. I'm sorry if I did; and appreciate the help :) | 22:39 |

| daftykins | ctrl+C | 22:40 |
| daftykins | but that's not a command really | 22:40 |

| nicomachus | oh well, I just closed the terminal. | 22:41 |
| daftykins | wat | 22:41 |
| temhaa | another way_ | 22:41 |
| daftykins | temhaa: you have no options. reinstall. | 22:41 |
| temhaa | cp -rf another_host:/bin this_host:/bin | 22:41 |
| temhaa | ? | 22:41 |
| daftykins | no | 22:41 |
| daftykins | it'd have to be an identical version, in an identical package state, then you'd have to go through and set identical permissions. only you won't be able to run the programs to set those permissions, since you wiped out the binaries... | 22:42 |
| daftykins | so it's reinstall time. | 22:42 |

| daftykins | temhaa: well, don't run crazy commands in future :D | 22:43 |
| ejr | I've gone through most of https://developers.google.com/v8/build, but I don't know which files to put where after compiling | 22:43 |
| ejr | teward: I need V8 version greater than 3.17 to install pecl's v8js-beta | 22:44 |
| temhaa | daftykins: I know but I should solve this problem without reinstall(; | 22:45 |
| daftykins | temhaa: it wouldn't be worth the effort. boot live media, chroot, transplant files, check permissions... i'd rather reinstall | 22:46 |
| cesdo | hi everyone | 22:47 |
| Vge | hillo | 22:47 |
| teward | ejr: well you're sorta out of luck - no Ubuntu version of libv8 is > 3.14, and that's the case in Debian as well. You may have to downlaod an updated upstream version and upgrade manually, building the software. or by finding someone with a ppa with it (but PPAs are not supported here) | 22:47 |
| ejr | teward: Yea I went through all the current packages of libv8 last night. I already compiled it to the native platform, but I have no idea which files I'm supposed to move, or where I should move them to get pecl's v8js-beta up and running. I'll keep fishing for IRC channels | 22:49 |
| Exagone313 | hello, i want to edit my dns servers. i edited /etc/network/interfaces but it does not work. can you help me please? | 22:50 |
| Exagone313 | i wand to do it permanently | 22:51 |
| daftykins | Exagone313: purge 'resolvconf' | 22:51 |
| Exagone313 | ? | 22:51 |
| daftykins | what's so tough to follow about that? | 22:51 |
| Exagone313 | if i restart the connection i have the default dns | 22:51 |
| Exagone313 | not my config | 22:52 |
| daftykins | yes, purge 'resolvconf' (the package) then either keep the interfaces DNS settings, or enter them in /etc/resolv.conf | 22:52 |
| daftykins | simples. | 22:52 |
| Exagone313 | i want a perment config | 22:52 |
| Exagone313 | parmanent | 22:53 |
| Exagone313 | damn | 22:53 |
| daftykins | yes, do what i just said | 22:53 |
| Exagone313 | is there another solution? i don't want to remove any apckage | 22:54 |
| daftykins | why? | 22:54 |
| daftykins | this is the way to do it, i do it all the time with ubuntu server installs | 22:54 |
| OerHeks | Exagone313, how does editting /etc/resolv.conf remove or add any package? | 22:55 |
| Exagone313 | he said to remove resolvconf package | 22:55 |
| daftykins | nah i'm saying purge resolvconf because it'll override DNS otherwise. | 22:55 |
| Exagone313 | resolv.conf does not save changes | 22:55 |
| daftykins | Exagone313: yes, because of resolvconf! | 22:55 |
| daftykins | purge it, then edit! | 22:55 |
| daftykins | how many times must i say this? | 22:55 |
| OerHeks | daftykins +1 | 22:56 |
| daftykins | though bear in mind that if you purge it, edit resolv.conf, then reboot - i've seen it still edit the contents once more before a permanent edit stays | 22:56 |

| murphyslaw_ | Hi, is there a way to specify the mirror to use for installation through a boot option such as with pxelinux? | 23:10 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest10948 | ||
| OerHeks | murphyslaw_, not that i know, just do not check updates and 3th party stuff so you install from the iso only. after install & reboot, you can choose mirror in software sources. | 23:14 |
| murphyslaw_ | Oerheks: fair enough, thanks! | 23:14 |
| OerHeks | have fun | 23:15 |
| murphyslaw_ | Oerheks: we have our own internal mirror, so i was hoping i could speed up installs by pointing it there right from the start. maybe i can use something like cloudinit to force the installer to go look for it someplace else | 23:19 |
| OerHeks | murphyslaw_, same answer, i guess, i see no option to change mirror during install, correct me if i am wrong | 23:20 |

| luke777scope | I am a C programmer | 23:30 |

| ikonia | that will get you started | 23:30 |
| luke777scope | yes, I that true but I am looking anyone that have experience in the kernel's components | 23:30 |
| ikonia | luke777scope: I do | 23:31 |
| ikonia | what is your question | 23:31 |
| ikonia | and how does it relate to ubuntu | 23:31 |
| luke777scope | I am try to use a ubuntu distro with driver added to this distro | 23:31 |
| luke777scope | the reason is | 23:32 |
| luke777scope | I wanna use that distro | 23:32 |
| ikonia | what distro ? | 23:32 |
| luke777scope | ubuntu for a beagleboard project | 23:32 |
| === Pagliarulo is now known as Mike_Pagliarulo | ||
| luke777scope | beagleboard is like rasperry pi | 23:32 |
| b-p | hi, help pls! i am spammed with postfix login attempts. i use fail2ban and its added the attackers ip to the hosts.deny, but it can try to connect after denied. it is possible to my postfix or ubuntu cant read or process the hosts.deny file?? | 23:32 |
| ikonia | so you'll need to talk to that project support | 23:32 |
| ikonia | and keep in mind that not all x86 components can be ported to arm | 23:32 |
| luke777scope | exactly | 23:33 |
| luke777scope | ikonia | 23:33 |
| luke777scope | that is the problem | 23:33 |
| ikonia | thats is a problem the beagle board project needs to pick up | 23:33 |
| ikonia | not this channel | 23:33 |
| luke777scope | :S | 23:33 |
| ikonia | b-p: are you using tcp_wrappers ? | 23:34 |
| luke777scope | yes | 23:34 |
| ikonia | yes to what ? | 23:34 |
| b-p | ikonia sorry, but i dont know it :( | 23:35 |
| ikonia | b-p: ok - thats why it's not working then | 23:35 |
| ikonia | (I would assume) | 23:35 |
| ikonia | hosts.allow/deny is a configuration for tcp wrappers | 23:35 |
| b-p | my postfix is running as a process | 23:35 |
| ikonia | if you're not using tcp wrappers, fail2ban is not doing anything to stop connections | 23:35 |
| b-p | so i need to rewrite the fail2ban configuration to not add a line to hosts.deny, it adds an iptables entry? | 23:36 |
| ikonia | you can swap to ip tables or configure tcp wrappers | 23:36 |

| marsje | Bashing-om: so it could be that I still seem to have plenty of free space, but not enough icodes? | 23:49 |
| marsje | inodes | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | marsje: Possible yes, that is why the 'df -i' is included . Look and see . | 23:49 |
| marsje | Bashing-om: it gives 0 for all values of the affected partition | 23:50 |
| marsje | Bashing-om: maybe because it's btrfs? | 23:50 |
| mrkirby153 | Okay. So, my server isn't accepting mysql connections on port 3306 even though iptables has an accept rule | 23:51 |
| === Mike_Pagliarulo is now known as geoffray_tinelje | ||
| ikonia | mrkirby153: telnet to port 3306 see if there is anything listening | 23:51 |
| Lugal | Hi | 23:51 |
| Bashing-om | marsje: Maybe ??? .. can not say about btrfs. Never having used that file system type . | 23:51 |
| ikonia | btrfs makes it more complex | 23:51 |
| Lugal | what can be the readon that the sound is not working, and volume is set to 0 and I cant change it? | 23:51 |
| mrkirby153 | ikonia, Connection refuesed | 23:52 |
| marsje | Bashing-om: total, used and free inodes are all 0 | 23:52 |
| ikonia | mrkirby153: that suggests something is blocking it | 23:52 |
| ikonia | mrkirby153: rather than it's not listening | 23:52 |

| mrkirby153 | ikonia, do you want my netstat stuff? | 23:52 |
| ikonia | not really | 23:52 |
| mrkirby153 | iptabels? | 23:53 |
| ikonia | not really | 23:53 |
| ikonia | it's up to you to work through your connections | 23:53 |
| mrkirby153 | Then how do I know what's blocking it? | 23:53 |
| Bashing-om | marsje: Do not know. Mine with ext4 : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133600/ . | 23:53 |
| ikonia | eg: drop iptables totally - test | 23:53 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone know if it's possible to tell if dd completed? I've got an 11g file created, but there was a "broken pipe." I'm logged into box2 from box1, and box3 is doing the dd to ~/remote/ where ~/remote/ is actually a directory on box2 that's mounted up via sshfs. | 23:53 |
| ikonia | craigbass1976: you'll get a prompt back when it completes | 23:53 |
| ikonia | craigbass1976: if you got a broken pipe - it didn't complete | 23:53 |
| mrkirby153 | ikonia, I think its becasue mysql is listening on 127.0.0.1 | 23:54 |
| ikonia | mrkirby153: thats very possible, | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | craigbass1976: do -> man dd <- there are instruction in the page to see the sttus of dd . | 23:54 |
| ikonia | if you've not told to listen on external interfaces, how do you expect it to connect ? | 23:54 |
| toastee | http://askubuntu.com/questions/582806/no-audio-in-firefox-chrome-spotify-etc-on-ubuntu-14-04 <--- if anyone can help with my really weird audio issue i'd appreciate it | 23:54 |
| Bashing-om | status* | 23:54 |
| marsje | Bashing-om: yeah, my other partitions show normal values, but not the ones that are going wrong | 23:55 |
| craigbass1976 | ikonia: how to I tell where the pipe broke? Between 2 and 3, or between 1 and 2 ? Is it just from the internet conking out a second? | 23:55 |
| ikonia | craigbass1976: you won't figure that out | 23:55 |
| mrkirby153 | ikonia, do you know where the mysql config file is? | 23:56 |
| craigbass1976 | ikonia: bah... I'm screwed then unless I babysit the thing in person? | 23:56 |
| mrkirby153 | so I can make it listen on all interfaces | 23:56 |
| gubers | hi, i can't install ubuntu 6.06 | 23:56 |
| bekks | gubers: 6.06 is EOL. | 23:56 |
| ikonia | mrkirby153: bind-address | 23:56 |
| ikonia | mrkirby153: I strongly suggest you read the basic documentation | 23:56 |
| leptone | I'm on a mac using Ubuntu 12.04 with VirtualBox. how do I close and save this file like the video does at 3:00? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590qB3cu9lY | 23:57 |
| gubers | how i can edit the sources? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | you don't | 23:57 |
| bekks | gubers: You dont. You install a supported release instead. | 23:57 |
| ikonia | you install a supported version | 23:57 |
| ikonia | then there is no need to edit the sources | 23:57 |
| gubers | bekks: i can't it is very old machine. | 23:57 |
| ubuntulivesorrow | gubers, why the need for 6.06? | 23:58 |
| bekks | gubers: And why exactly do you need 6.06, and why exactly cant you just use 12.04 or 14.04? | 23:58 |
| gubers | and i have very old system that support it. | 23:58 |
| gubers | the computer is veeeery old, at the past it wark fine with 6.06. | 23:59 |
| Bashing-om | gubers: Lubuntu : "Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware." . | 23:59 |
| bekks | gubers: 6.06 is EOL. Did you try installing 12.04 at least? | 23:59 |
