| daftykins | hamedshahien: nevermind, i was misreading. as long as you run a good "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" you should be fine. i see nothing else of use, so i don't think you'll get anywhere with that unless you try using xrandr | 00:06 |

| daftykins | hamedshahien: yep i have no idea if you can do anything with that. it simply doesn't see the VGA display as capable of higher - does this machine not have any digital connections? or can you try connecting it after boot? | 00:13 |
| hamedshahien | I will try reboot | 00:16 |

| OerHeks | Basketball, google chrome is protected, you need to download the docx first, i cannot open it instantly without saving first. | 00:31 |
| Basketball | OerHeks, no | 00:31 |
| Basketball | let me explain step by step | 00:31 |
| daftykins | i think Basketball wants local .docx files to open in google docs? | 00:31 |
| Basketball | yes daftykins !! | 00:31 |
| daftykins | for which, go ask google :) | 00:32 |

| k1l_ | patrick__: what gives you "lspci" or "lsusb" for that wifi card? | 00:51 |

| charlesay | patrick__: if you don't know, open a terminal and enter "lspci | grep Network " | 00:51 |
| patrick__ | same | 00:52 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: you might need to install the drivers first. but that depends on the actual hardware in use. so stop with telling nice stories and focus on exact info for finding a exact working solution | 00:52 |
| patrick__ | great im ready | 00:52 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: that are no commands to enable wifi. that are commands to get to know what wifi hardware you use | 00:53 |
| k1l_ | we dont know what hardware you use and what of the million solutions you need now | 00:53 |
| SchrodingersScat | is there a dpi setting for lp? or that may be tied to cups somewhere? | 00:53 |

| djr013 | I've been having kernel panic and screen corruption issues with the atl1c gigabit ethernet driver for a few years now, wondering how I might submit a bug report and helpful data for this. Currently affects my local "trusty" install as well as LiveCD "utopic". Logs seem useless. | 01:06 |
| patrick__ | silence ? | 01:07 |
| OerHeks | patrick__, what you can do, is tell us what lsusb says about your wifi device.... | 01:07 |
| patrick__ | yes http://justpaste.it/jdau | 01:09 |
| cuddylier | Anyone any idea why some of my boxes suddenly after a few months, start having increased load? E.g. the box would be at 5 load average for 2 months then suddenly start rapidly rising and reach over 100 load in a few days and keep rising and rising until I reboot it? The processes in use rises from around 250 to over 1000 over this time period. How can I check what those processes are? htop does not work when this happens, | 01:09 |
| cuddylier | just a black screen and 'top' only shows very limited processes. | 01:09 |
| cuddylier | And would it have anything to do with no available swap but 12gb RAM free? | 01:10 |
| cuddylier | It seems the swap going to 0 is almost a side affect as I have other boxes under the same load using no swap at all. | 01:10 |
| djr013 | cuddylier: You mean the machine has swap but it's fully used? | 01:11 |
| cuddylier | Yes | 01:11 |
| cuddylier | I only have 1gb swap assigned to pretty much all my boxes | 01:12 |
| djr013 | Not sure if this will help but you might try checking out "swappiness" | 01:12 |
| ryanprior | Whenever I connect to my phone over bluetooth, Ubuntu automatically disconnects about 10 seconds later. How can I stop that? | 01:12 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: does this mentioned stick you pasted us the lsusb work? i find only people saying it works in 14.04 since its in the kernel now | 01:12 |
| cuddylier | djr013: Strange thing is, I have another box with an uptime of 267 days, with 90MB swap and 9gb free RAM under the same load as this other box and it has never ever had this load issue, all my boxes are the same exact config but slightly different hardware but same processors. | 01:13 |

| k1l_ | patrick__: what is the exact issue with that usb wifi ? | 01:15 |
| === AlphaTech|AWAY is now known as AlphaTech | ||
| djr013 | cuddylier: I've never had luck with swap, myself. If my systems ever try to use it, it grinds to a standstill, even when I crank the swappiness config to prefer RAM. Since then I usually go without it if I have enough RAM to be confortable with my workloads. | 01:16 |
| cuddylier | djr013: So vm.swappiness = 0 should be good then yeah? | 01:16 |
| Number2 | I installed Gnome3, but lightdm isn't showing an option to log into Unity anymore, even when I restart it. Does Gnome3 just take over for Unity, or how can I choose between both? | 01:16 |
| patrick__ | i dont arrived to modify this command sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces | 01:16 |
| djr013 | cuddylier: Can't remember for sure, haven't touched it in years. | 01:16 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: why that? | 01:17 |
| patrick__ | to add this auto wlan1 | 01:17 |
| patrick__ | iface wlan1 inet dhcp | 01:17 |
| Basketball | so you know how in chrome you can go to your apps page right click and save the app as a shortcut so if I do that with like google docs how can i set double click to open on a docx or whatever (saved on pc)to open with google docs | 01:17 |

| patrick__ | a way http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2194689 | 01:17 |
| djr013 | cuddylier: If setting swappiness doesn't help, you might try disabling swap and seeing if it reoccurs. | 01:17 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: if you use a desktop, why dont you use the network manager? | 01:18 |
| patrick__ | because its dont work "that because im here | 01:18 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: yes. and i still think there can be a issue on the hardware layer. but its difficult to get the info from you. did you try #ubuntu-fr maybe its easier to communicate there | 01:20 |
| k1l_ | patrick__: in fact: see if the right module is loaded. and what issues there are. does it scan at all? | 01:20 |
| patrick__ | ^^ | 01:21 |
| patrick__ | how ? | 01:22 |

| NEI4U2K | sorry. for the typo. | 01:23 |
| djr013 | Basketball: It seems like it would require uploading the file, so you would have to associate the filetype with a program (or at least, some command a browser will understand) which will cause the file to be uploaded to the website and the website to be opened in a browser. | 01:25 |

| yguyut7 | so does anyone know of a good image viewer for Ubuntu that has nice transitions and effects during slideshow mode that those on Windows and Apple? | 03:31 |
| Basketball | so you know how in chrome you can go to your apps page right click and save the app as a shortcut so if I do that with like google docs how can i set double click to open on a docx or whatever (saved on pc)to open with google docs | 03:32 |
| cricketfart | hey everyone | 03:33 |
| daftykins | Basketball: better wording; "Anyone know if it's possible to make Google Docs open inside Chrome, the default app for .docx files?" | 03:33 |
| yguyut7 | Basketball, are you on ##basketball ?? heh | 03:33 |
| Basketball | "Anyone know if it's possible to make Google Docs open inside Chrome, the default app for .docx files?" | 03:34 |
| Basketball | yguyut7, ##basketball ##gaming :Forwarding to another channel | 03:34 |
| yguyut7 | ok | 03:35 |
| yguyut7 | daftykins, why aren't you helping me with an image viewer :( | 03:36 |
| daftykins | yguyut7: i'll give you one guess. | 03:36 |
| yguyut7 | hmm do you hate me? | 03:36 |
| daftykins | nope, that's you out of guesses. i _don't know any_ | 03:36 |
| Basketball | yguyut7, what do u need | 03:37 |
| OerHeks | yguyut7, imagination in our repos, or nomacs , http://www.nomacs.org/screenshots/ from ppa | 03:37 |
| Basketball | OerHeks, do you know "Anyone know if it's possible to make Google Docs open inside Chrome, the default app for .docx files?" | 03:37 |
| cricketfart | Does anyone have time to help me with a question regarding my display? | 03:37 |

| OerHeks | try both | 03:37 |
| Basketball | yguyut7, picasa | 03:37 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: you have to ask it first | 03:37 |
| OerHeks | Basketball, picasa has no 64 bit version anymore | 03:38 |
| cricketfart | My mouse cursor is flickering profusely. I searched for the problem online and the only information I was able to find was to disable the unknown display in the system settings. I did that, and I still have the same issue. I know it isn't my laptop, since I had it previously on Windows and didn't have the issue, as well as on Kali Linux. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 at present | 03:38 |
| Brady4MVP | cricketfart ram and cpu and gpu ? | 03:39 |
| cricketfart | , has anyone else encountered this and found a fix aside from the obvious one to disable the unknown display? | 03:39 |
| cricketfart | I'm running a Lenovo Ideapad P580, 8GB RAM, I7 processor.. just gimme a sec I'll get the graphics info | 03:40 |
| OerHeks | Basketball, no, you asked that before, there was a plugin back in 2009 | 03:40 |
| yguyut7 | OerHeks, why isn't nomacs in repos? just wondering | 03:40 |
| cricketfart | i7 - 3520 | 03:40 |

| Brady4MVP | cricketfart, what is the DE ? | 03:41 |
| cricketfart | Nvidia GT630M for graphics | 03:41 |
| cricketfart | Apologies Brady4MVP, what do you mean by DE? | 03:41 |
| Brady4MVP | cricketfart, unity ,gnome , kde .. | 03:41 |
| cricketfart | Gnome | 03:41 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: nvidia optimus setup eh, sounds like a bumblbee vs. nvidia prime issue | 03:42 |
| daftykins | which of the two are you using? | 03:42 |
| cricketfart | I'm using the open graphics | 03:42 |
| daftykins | that's not gonna work well on optimus hardware | 03:42 |
| Brady4MVP | cricketfart, no xcrack ? | 03:42 |
| daftykins | i'd bet that's why | 03:42 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: use additional drivers to install the nvidia proprietary and see if it goes away | 03:43 |
| cricketfart | Err.. I should point out that I am primarily a Windows user, I'm relatively new to Ubuntu/Linux and I refuse to return to Windows for personal reasons.. I'm faring quite well thus far, but it's quite a lot different | 03:43 |
| cricketfart | So I'm not certain as to what a lot of what you guys are referring to... | 03:43 |
| daftykins | well that's fine, but you need to ask when you don't know, otherwise we won't know | 03:43 |
| cricketfart | Certainly. Well, what does bumblbee vs. nvidia prime even mean? | 03:44 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: click dash top left, then type in 'additional drivers' and see what it offers you | 03:44 |

| cricketfart | I have 5 other options to choose from | 03:44 |
| chadmandoo | how does one set up a bash profile in ubuntu (the prefered way) | 03:44 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: ok well optimus is nvidia's joint GPU setup where the intel on-die graphics is doing the actual picture output, whilst the nvidia chip just jumps in when it's needed. bumblebee is the old and nvidia prime is the new way of providing support for that | 03:45 |
| daftykins | cricketfart: one should read nvidia-331 with prime, possibly? | 03:45 |
| Brady4MVP | cricketfart, https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa would be a ok thing to look at | 03:45 |

| daftykins | issue too | 03:47 |
| daftykins | no problemo, nn | 03:47 |

| KGemini22 | arooni-mobile | 03:58 |
| NegativeFlare | arooni-mobile: Get pavucontrol. With it you can switch the outputs of the music/sounds | 03:58 |
| KGemini22 | Did you check your audio output settings? | 03:58 |
| LoonyCan | sorry, i forgot i needed to be on offtopic, my bad | 03:58 |
| arooni-mobile | NegativeFlare, on pauvcontrol i can switch from output devices speakers => headphones (unplugged) but then i only get audio when the headphoens are in | 03:58 |
| arooni-mobile | and nothing when headphones are unplugged | 03:59 |
| NegativeFlare | hmph, that's odd. | 03:59 |
| OerHeks | arooni-mobile, check alsamixer > F3 playback, do you see seperate headphone/speakers settings ? | 03:59 |
| OerHeks | oh pavu is more advanced .. | 04:00 |
| arooni-mobile | OerHeks, yes i see separate settings | 04:00 |
| arooni-mobile | i can manually move the speaker volume => 0 | 04:01 |
| arooni-mobile | then it works but that seems like a stupid fix | 04:01 |
| arooni-mobile | i have to adjust the volume via alasamixer everytime? | 04:01 |
| NegativeFlare | arooni-mobile: You shouldn't have to. Pulse should be able to detect the headphones | 04:03 |
| OerHeks | arooni-mobile, does M not work, mute? | 04:03 |
| arooni-mobile | OerHeks, it sdoes but it mutes all output channels | 04:04 |
| djr013 | I remember when changing settings like that required you to open up the machine and adjust one of those tiny bridge pieces between pins...I'm not sure where that type of persistent config for audio plugging is these days. | 04:05 |
| arooni-mobile | i mean it did work fine on my old motherboard | 04:06 |
| arooni-mobile | but then my computer stopped booting and lenovo replaced the mobo | 04:06 |

| cricketfart | Hey guys, I got Fallout New Vegas installed in Ubuntu 14.04 using PlayonLinux, and it works perfectly except for one small issue. Unity displays while FalloutNV is open and it's not on top of game, but it forces the game window partially out of the displayable area, any help? | 04:26 |
| kelvin | i am a newbie here as well | 04:27 |
| OerHeks | cricketfart, systemsettings > appearance > behavior > autohide set to on? | 04:28 |
| cricketfart | Yeah, its set that way already. FalloutNV is the only application I've had the problem.. | 04:28 |
| OerHeks | no full screen option in that game? | 04:29 |
| cricketfart | I just noticed another issue. I have FalloutNV open in the background, but I can't switch back to it. IE: when I press alt+Tab FalloutNV doesn't show up in the list, nor does a terminal window or a PlayonLinux window that has FalloutNV in it. | 04:29 |
| cricketfart | Fullscreen is already on, it makes a full screen, but it populates the area inside of the launcher | 04:29 |
| danny__ | Hey, a friend of mine told me there is all this extra stuff I need to do if Ubuntu is installed on an SSD so i dont damage it. Any idea what he's talking about? | 04:30 |
| cricketfart | Only the desktop is the fullscreen area, the launcher and taskbar still appears at the top | 04:30 |
| OerHeks | well, wine/playonlinux issues are not my favorite to be honest | 04:30 |
| cricketfart | I don't blame you lol | 04:30 |
| cricketfart | It took me quite a long time to get it to install haha | 04:30 |
| OerHeks | danny__, nope, trim is standard, and wear and tear is no longer an issue. | 04:31 |
| cricketfart | I had to figure out how to get an iso of the dvd on my machine and then mount it through the terminal... Coming from Windows, such a different and intimidating environment haha | 04:31 |

| OerHeks | you can run ' sudo fstrim -v / " manually, but i don't need that | 04:33 |

| ubottu | Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 04:35 |
| OerHeks | Daisyab__, what file exactly ? might be a backup from a file what was still open | 04:38 |

| Daisyab__ | OerHeks, I've got 14.04 so trim's already enabled | 04:41 |
| OerHeks | Daisyab__, were those files owned by root or other application than a user ? | 04:45 |
| OerHeks | no idea where to look for actually | 04:45 |
| Daisyab__ | OerHeks, no, they were owned by user. When I noticed it, I created other types of files both manually and using the command line. Then I tried to delete them both manually and using the command line but still the same result | 04:47 |
| Daisyab__ | The files go into the rubbish bin but when I ls in that directory, I see the deleted files with the | 04:48 |
| Daisyab__ | ~ added | 04:48 |
| OerHeks | tru comandline should not appear in trash, AFAIK | 04:48 |
| Daisyab__ | OerHeks, I don't understand | 04:49 |
| OerHeks | rm /path/to/file/file should be gone, removal in a gui like nautilus should be in ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ | 04:50 |
| OerHeks | i just wonder about the ~ ( tilde) | 04:51 |
| Daisyab__ | ~/.local/share/Trash/files is empty but I just noticed that when I do rm file~, then the file is deleted | 04:54 |
| Daisyab__ | but why is it there in the first place after the first delelte? | 04:55 |

| Guest62965 | *custom | 05:02 |
| JCM83 | Guest62965, Write the distro to USB, boot from the USB, edit the environment within the boot and save changes to disk. | 05:03 |
| JCM83 | It'll boot with your changes wherever you go. | 05:03 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 05:03 |

| Guest62965 | So I want non-persistance for future use to remove all files etc after reboot, but want to customize prior | 05:04 |

| pegasus500 | there sleeping i think | 05:14 |
| knightsword | They usually are. | 05:14 |
| knightsword | Well, I'm going to put it out there. | 05:14 |
| pegasus500 | hey guys i have 3x1 terrabyte drives how come i cant copy anything onto them | 05:15 |
| Gegenrung | did you format them using gparted using ext3/4? | 05:16 |
| pavlos | are they mounted read only? | 05:16 |
| pegasus500 | yes ext 4 | 05:16 |
| pegasus500 | yes used gparted | 05:16 |
| pegasus500 | read only ? how | 05:16 |
| ubuntu056 | hello | 05:17 |
| ubuntu056 | i search help | 05:17 |
| Gegenrung | ok o you will need to mount them using "sudo mount /dev/sd*(device/partition number) /path/to/mount/point" | 05:17 |
| knightsword | I'm having an issue with a second DVD drive on this linux box. When I drop a disk into /dev/sr1, no software will read the data on the medium. Handbrake won't load the data, k3b won't identify the disk, nothing will load the data on the medium. I've tried everything. Moved the drive cables to different ports, changed the BIOS settings. The closest I got, was moving the cables onto the main SATA ports (0-3) and setting the ports to | 05:18 |
| knightsword | AHCI. And that got the drives working for a while, but now, /dev/sr1 will not recognize anything placed on the drive again. I have independently verified that the drives are functional. | 05:18 |
| Gegenrung | then sudo chown -R username /path/to/mount/point | 05:18 |
| pegasus500 | aha ok ill try that | 05:18 |
| Gegenrung | when you create a new file system it defaults to root | 05:19 |
| knightsword | And you'll need eventually to modify your fstab to add the mount points so that when you reboot, they'll automatically mount. | 05:19 |
| pavlos | pastebin the output of mount | 05:19 |
| knightsword | Who me? | 05:19 |
| pavlos | sorry ... pegasus500 pastebin the output of mount | 05:19 |
| knightsword | No worries.:) | 05:20 |
| pegasus500 | sudo fdisk -l? | 05:20 |
| pegasus500 | like that | 05:20 |
| knightsword | My problem is hard. | 05:20 |
| pavlos | pegasus500, install pastebinit then run the command mount | pastebinit and post the link | 05:23 |

| knightsword | Could it be permissions? | 05:27 |
| pegasus500 | i try draggin stuff onto those drives and i cant | 05:28 |
| pegasus500 | permissions? | 05:28 |
| knightsword | When you format a disk, the permissions are set to root. | 05:28 |
| Gegenrung | well after you format them using gparted its a matter of making the owner your user otherwise you need to be root | 05:28 |

| pegasus500 | aha saing your arer not the owner | 05:29 |
| pegasus500 | how to i change that | 05:29 |
| === gerald is now known as Guest53894 | ||
| knightsword | chown <user> <path> | 05:29 |
| knightsword | or chown <path> <user> | 05:29 |
| Gegenrung | make a folder in you home folder named what ever you want | 05:29 |
| knightsword | I never remember which it is.:) | 05:29 |
| cluster | Any idea how to cp the current kernel to test a diskless-boot system? Or just how to avoid the bash: no such file or directory return? | 05:31 |
| Gegenrung | then mount the drive to that folder useing "sudo mount /dev/sda1(change to device and partition) /home/username/folderyoucreated" | 05:32 |
| Gegenrung | then "sudo chown -R yourusername /home/username/folderyoucreated" which will make you owner | 05:33 |
| knightsword | You are a better soul than I am Gegenrung | 05:33 |
| knightsword | :) | 05:33 |
| Gegenrung | and then you can unmount the drive "sudo umount /dev/sda(once again change to the device your changing owner on)" | 05:34 |
| Gegenrung | and repeat for the various drives you need to make you owner on | 05:34 |
| cluster | again does anyone know about copying the kernel to test diskless-boot systems? | 05:34 |
| === parsnip is now known as patches | ||
| Gegenrung | and then you may delete the folder you originaly created in your home folder | 05:34 |
| knightsword | Sorry cluster, I have no idea. | 05:34 |
| === patches is now known as Guest88858 | ||
| cluster | knightsword, neither do I! | 05:35 |
| knightsword | Heeh | 05:35 |
| knightsword | Heeh | 05:35 |
| knightsword | HE he | 05:35 |
| knightsword | Good grief,all thumbs. | 05:35 |
| Gegenrung | knightsword: why am i a better soul | 05:36 |
| knightsword | Your explainations are better.:) | 05:36 |
| === Guest88858 is now known as parsnip | ||
| knightsword | I have a tendancy to brush over details I take for granted.:) | 05:37 |
| Gegenrung | lol | 05:37 |
| Gegenrung | lol then he leaves | 05:37 |
| * Gegenrung cries | 05:37 | |
| knightsword | He's either confused, looking for better info, or trying it out. | 05:37 |
| knightsword | The dead silence regarding my issue is frightening. | 05:38 |
| knightsword | I would think this would be a well healed issue at this point. | 05:38 |
| Gegenrung | well i just thought of something if he uses "Disks" to format the drive i do believe it will automatically set the current user as the owner aswell | 05:38 |
| knightsword | But you need root level access to format the disk. | 05:39 |
| knightsword | So it amounts to the same thing. Root does the work. | 05:39 |
| Gegenrung | yes but i think it might because a few years ago that what i use to do and it worked fine | 05:39 |
| knightsword | Usually, I mount disks off / | 05:40 |
| Gegenrung | so looking back it must have preset the permissions | 05:40 |
| knightsword | And when I format them, they are usually set to root. | 05:40 |
| knightsword | Which drives me nuts the first few times, when I'm setting up a new install. | 05:40 |
| knightsword | Then you set it right, get everything working, and forget all about it.:) | 05:40 |
| pegasus500 | hey pavlos still wont work | 05:42 |
| pegasus500 | knightsword, still wont work | 05:42 |
| pegasus500 | tried chown command like u said | 05:42 |
| knightsword | do an ls -l | 05:42 |
| knightsword | It will show who is the owner, which group it belongs to, and its read/write permissions. | 05:43 |
| pegasus500 | drwxrwxr-x 2 | 05:43 |
| Gegenrung | pegasus500: so can you open the drive inside your file manager | 05:44 |
| knightsword | ?? | 05:44 |
| pegasus500 | yeah so i can copy stuff onto the drives | 05:44 |
| Gegenrung | so what cant you do | 05:44 |
| pegasus500 | wont let me do it..saying i have to be owner | 05:44 |
| pegasus500 | cant copy anything onto them | 05:44 |
| knightsword | Wait, which is it? | 05:45 |
| Gegenrung | ok so open all the drives in file manager and then run "ls /media/pegasus500/ | 05:45 |
| Gegenrung | and pastebin output and post link | 05:45 |
| pegasus500 | http://pastebin.com/5Vv62Qys | 05:46 |
| pegasus500 | http://pastebin.com/5Vv62Qys | 05:46 |
| newbiepig | :) | 05:46 |
| Gegenrung | ok so do a "sudo chown -R pegasus500 /media/pegasus500/*" | 05:47 |
| Gegenrung | and then see if you can write to those drives | 05:47 |
| knightsword | Oh that is clever. | 05:48 |
| pegasus500 | ok i can write to one of those drives thanks but there is drives | 05:48 |
| knightsword | ? | 05:49 |
| knightsword | You need to do the same for each drive you mount. | 05:49 |
| pegasus500 | how? | 05:49 |
| knightsword | Same steps, one for each drive you mount. | 05:49 |
| knightsword | Basically, each drive is mapped to a folder. | 05:50 |
| Gegenrung | mount them all in your file manager then run previous command | 05:50 |
| Gegenrung | ALL of them | 05:50 |
| Gegenrung | just by clicking on the drive under devices | 05:50 |
| Gegenrung | make sure all of them have a eject icon to the right of them | 05:51 |
| pegasus500 | worked thanks so much | 05:51 |
| pegasus500 | yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 05:51 |
| Gegenrung | your welcome | 05:51 |
| knightsword | Well done. | 05:52 |
| knightsword | When you reboot, you'll need to do it again.:) | 05:52 |
| pegasus500 | no i can tranfer my movies onto them | 05:52 |
| Gegenrung | nope change should be persistent | 05:52 |
| pegasus500 | ?? | 05:52 |
| knightsword | Oh/ | 05:52 |
| knightsword | ? | 05:52 |
| knightsword | Well, that's handy. It will modify the fstab too? | 05:52 |
| Gegenrung | fstab has nothing to do with permissions | 05:52 |
| pegasus500 | ok let me try it brb | 05:52 |
| knightsword | No, but it has everything to do with mounting the disks. | 05:53 |
| Gegenrung | yes but if he has fstab setup it will remain the same | 05:53 |
| knightsword | Right. | 05:53 |
| knightsword | But I don't think he does.:) | 05:53 |
| knightsword | I think he's mounting through the UI. | 05:53 |
| knightsword | But I don't know if his changes will update his fstab. | 05:54 |
| Gegenrung | no they wont he will have to use another tool or do it manually | 05:54 |
| pegasus500 | hey back | 05:54 |
| pegasus500 | it worked | 05:54 |
| knightsword | Awesome. | 05:54 |
| Gegenrung | awesome congratz | 05:54 |
| knightsword | I stand corrected.:) | 05:54 |
| pegasus500 | dont have to write anything | 05:54 |
| pegasus500 | i like how quick ubuntu is tranfering files | 05:56 |
| Gegenrung | knightsword: pysdm is a nice tool to manage fstab for newbies its in the repos | 05:58 |
| sachinaddy | Hi.. I just installed vsftpd but i m not able to login through FTP | 06:03 |
| pegasus500 | pysdm where do i find that | 06:03 |

| sachinaddy | I m unable to login with anyuser | 06:30 |
| ame | yuitimothi:Like nagios?? | 06:30 |
| yuitimothy | ame: I recomend gnome-system-monitor | 06:30 |
| ame | yuitimothy:how to install that?? | 06:31 |
| yuitimothy | ame: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-monitor | 06:31 |
| yuitimothy | ame: then do a search for 'System Monitor' | 06:31 |
| ame | yutimothy:Where to search?? | 06:31 |
| yuitimothy | sachinaddy: Have you configured vsftpd? | 06:32 |
| yuitimothy | ame: did you say ubuntu 12.04? | 06:32 |
| awpti | Howdy folks -- on Ubuntu Server 14.04. How do I install PHP 5.4? The few docs out there for it point to dotdeb, but the repo doesn't work. I cannot use php 5.5 with this old app. | 06:32 |

| ame | yutimothy:yes its 12.04 | 06:32 |
| sachinaddy | yuitimothy: I followed all steps in here - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 06:33 |

| Config2 | That's wierd | 06:33 |
| ame | yutimothy:okay | 06:33 |
| Config2 | It auto-acccepted this file transfer for my irc client.. | 06:33 |
| yuitimothy | sachinaddy: Have you restarted the ftp service? | 06:34 |
| yuitimothy | sachinaddy: eg something like sudo service vsftpd restart? | 06:34 |
| Config2 | Oh it's just some image | 06:34 |
| Config2 | I guess it wasn't a real file transfer, confusing.. | 06:34 |
| Config2 | I use KVirc on Win8.1 | 06:35 |
| jayjo | can I just run some md5 hashes from the command line? | 06:35 |
| sachinaddy | yuitimothy: yes I did that part too... ftp service is running . | 06:35 |
| jayjo | or some preinstalled language like python? | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | sachinaddy: did you notice the top of that page you just linked to? why do you need ftp? | 06:35 |
| sachinaddy | But i m unable to login... | 06:35 |

| sachinaddy | Ben64: Its just for local use ... no problem in that . | 06:36 |
| ame | what is the service to access the files from ubuntu to ubuntu...??eg:samba for accessing files from windows | 06:36 |
| yuitimothy | ame: I think sftp would work well for you | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | sachinaddy: vsftpd should make a log somewhere you should be looking at | 06:37 |
| ame | yutimothy:then wat is this NIS?? | 06:37 |
| sachinaddy | SFTP is working for me.. But again chroot for SFTP is not working | 06:37 |
| ame | yuitimothy:then wat is NIS??\ | 06:37 |
| yuitimothy | ame: you talking about 'Network Information Service' | 06:38 |
| imitrex | hey guys | 06:38 |
| sachinaddy | how to enable chroot for sftp | 06:38 |
| yuitimothy | sachinaddy: sorry, was talking to ame | 06:38 |
| jayjo | How can I get a hash of anything, like hash(5) instead of hash <filename> | 06:38 |
| ame | yuitimothy:Then what is it use for?? | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | jayjo: not sure what you're asking | 06:39 |
| yuitimothy | ame: I dont think NIS is what you're looking for | 06:39 |
| yuitimothy | ame: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Information_Service | 06:39 |
| yuitimothy | ame: do you want help useing sftp? | 06:40 |
| jayjo | Ben64: is there a command line utility to hash an input. Eg. md5sum will run on a file, but is there access in ubuntu to the md5 or sha-1 algorithms? | 06:40 |
| imitrex | hey guys is it possible to get a text installer like the one from ubuntu installer on a normal ubuntu 14.04.01 client install media? | 06:40 |
| yuitimothy | ame: you are you looking for an alternative? | 06:40 |
| ame | yuitimothy:I want to make users to access the file from ubuntu to ubuntu like shared folder with permission but withou using samba | 06:40 |
| Ben64 | jayjo: you can use md5sum to md5 anything | 06:40 |
| jayjo | for example, the number 2 | 06:41 |
| yuitimothy | ame: Then I would recomend sftp. you can even mount a remote share as a folder useing sshfs if you want | 06:41 |
| Ben64 | jayjo: echo "2" | md5sum | 06:42 |
| imitrex | whoops i wordered that incorrectly | 06:42 |
| ame | yuitimothy:CAn u please tell me how to configure that with good documentation?? | 06:42 |
| yuitimothy | ame: firts install an ssh server with 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' | 06:42 |
| imitrex | is there a way to use the text based installer in ubuntu server on ubuntu client install? | 06:43 |
| yuitimothy | ame: that will install it with the default configs which are fine if its just for a LAN | 06:43 |
| imitrex | from what i gathered maybe its some sort of boot parameter i set? | 06:43 |
| yuitimothy | ame: but, if you want to port forwd I would recomend you harden the security with some config changes and a prigram like fail2ban | 06:43 |
| ame | yuitimothy:How to check whether i have already installed that service on my server?/ | 06:43 |
| sachinaddy | yuitimothy: please tell how to chroot using sftp in ubuntu | 06:44 |
| imitrex | ame and or setup some ssh keys | 06:44 |
| yuitimothy | ame: do you have 2 ubuntu computers on the same network there? | 06:44 |
| ame | yuitimothy:yes | 06:44 |
| yuitimothy | sachinaddy: I recomend http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/ | 06:45 |
| ame | yuitimothy:I have configured LTSP here...So all my user computers are connected through my server....That is not a problem...But i want to make security tight for the people who are coming from outside with ubuntu | 06:45 |
| yuitimothy | ame: to harden an ssh server this is a good guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/2271/how-to-harden-an-ssh-server | 06:46 |
| imitrex | ps -A | grep sshd to check if its running | 06:46 |
| yuitimothy | ame: you can also install fail2ban which will firewall anyone who tries to brute force a password | 06:47 |
| ame | Okay | 06:47 |

| knightsword | I'm having an issue with a second DVD drive on this linux box. When I drop a disk into /dev/sr1, no software will read the data on the medium. Handbrake won't load the data, k3b won't identify the disk, nothing will load the data on the medium. I've tried everything. Moved the drive cables to different ports, changed the BIOS settings. The closest I got, was moving the cables onto the main SATA ports (0-3) and setting the ports to | 06:52 |
| knightsword | AHCI. And that got the drives working for a while, but now, /dev/sr1 will not recognize anything placed on the drive again. I have independently verified that the drives are functional. | 06:52 |

| NEI4U2K | it just jumps around. | 06:57 |
| knightsword | Have you updated the drivers for it? | 06:58 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: does ctrl+alt+t open the terminal? | 06:58 |
| NEI4U2K | which drivers? | 06:58 |
| NEI4U2K | x11? | 06:58 |
| knightsword | Probably. | 06:58 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, let me check | 06:58 |
| knightsword | You could try the x11 settings for mice, see what happens. | 06:59 |
| NEI4U2K | i did the synclient set-prop "Synaptics Palm Detection"=1 | 06:59 |
| NEI4U2K | dint help much | 06:59 |
| NEI4U2K | how do i change x11 settgs? | 06:59 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, it won't open anything | 07:00 |

| yuitimothy | opengyan: and tell me what happens | 07:02 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, sure thx | 07:02 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, the login page appeard,upon login same old plain desktop without any icons/actions | 07:03 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: sorry opengyan, Im no Linux display server expert and I think I just exhausted knowlege | 07:05 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: I know that wasnt much | 07:05 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, no problem at all. | 07:05 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: if I were you I would verify the md5 of the ISO and install it again to see if it perciests | 07:06 |
| imitrex | i think entering unity in the terminal has a similar effect of the service restart | 07:06 |
| yuitimothy | imitrex: Well it sounds like unity is alredy running so IDK | 07:07 |

| yuitimothy | opengyan: seya! | 07:09 |
| imitrex | wth, what is running the ubuntu installation in non-interactive mode like? | 07:09 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy, no problem funny thing is even google is not helping. If you were there how do you search for this problem ? | 07:10 |
| knightsword | Its not the playback that is the issue. | 07:10 |
| knightsword | And those repos are already added. | 07:10 |
| knightsword | When the disk is in the drive, data doesn't load at all. | 07:11 |
| knightsword | And only sr1 | 07:11 |
| knightsword | The other drive is fine. | 07:11 |
| lotuspsychje | knightsword: you sure its not a sata issue with cables/bios? | 07:11 |
| knightsword | When I fixed all the sata and bios issues, I had both drives working perfectly. | 07:12 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: Ill admit I just spam keyword of the problem to google but, in the last 10 years that has never failed me! If you cant find help with google you know something is going down | 07:12 |
| knightsword | And they stayed working for a few hours. | 07:12 |
| knightsword | And then it happened again. | 07:12 |
| knightsword | And again, only sr1 | 07:12 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: Id suggest its probably not the fault of virtual box but something 14.04 related but, I could be wrong. | 07:12 |
| lotuspsychje | knightsword: i know some mobos dont like sata/dvd too much depending layout | 07:12 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: anyways, GTG | 07:12 |
| knightsword | So do you recommend I do more shuffling? | 07:13 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: I'll be back in a couple hours | 07:13 |
| lotuspsychje | knightsword: check your syslog and dmesg for dvd usefull errors maybe | 07:13 |
| opengyan | yuitimothy,somone saying to use sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback | 07:13 |
| knightsword | Well it's a place to look. | 07:13 |
| opengyan | let me try | 07:13 |
| yuitimothy | opengyan: Could try that but, I'll admit I dont use unity so I wouldnt know | 07:14 |
| lotuspsychje | knightsword: or check in realtime with tail -f /var/log/syslog and fool around with dvd a bit | 07:14 |
| knightsword | That's a good idea. | 07:14 |
| NEI4U2K | ok so i found this palm detection dimensions: but I am not sure what numbers I should set. | 07:14 |
| knightsword | lotuspsychje: reviewing syslog tail now. | 07:15 |
| knightsword | lotuspsychje: just loaded a disk into the drive. | 07:15 |
| lotuspsychje | knightsword: ok good luck | 07:15 |
| knightsword | I have a blinky drive. | 07:15 |
| knightsword | And nothing hit the syslog. | 07:16 |
| knightsword | I'm going to try the dmesg | 07:16 |
| lotuspsychje | kk | 07:16 |
| knightsword | lotuspsychje: I'm loading the same disk to sr0. | 07:16 |
| knightsword | And seeing what it should log onto syslog | 07:17 |
| knightsword | lotuspsychje: Okay, the syslog shows the mounting. | 07:17 |
| knightsword | Okay, let me check dmesg | 07:17 |
| knightsword | sr1 doesn't appear in the dmesg log at all. | 07:21 |
| knightsword | So I have a blinky drive, but there is no mount. | 07:21 |
| knightsword | But the weird thing, it worked for a while, and then suddenly it just stopped. | 07:21 |
| NegativeFlare | knightsword: the drive might have started to die. | 07:23 |
| knightsword | I thought about that. If I swap the cables though, I suspect the drive will work though. | 07:24 |

| neure | i have | 08:59 |

| neure | can i somehow verify that? | 08:59 |

| cfhowlett | jk, lubuntu or xubuntu | 09:00 |
| somsip | !flavors | jk (xubuntu and lubuntu, and minimal) | 09:00 |
| ubottu | jk (xubuntu and lubuntu, and minimal): !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 09:00 |
| jk | well i tried xubuntu, but even with 1.6Ghz celeron m and 1Gb ram it runs horribly slow | 09:00 |
| cfhowlett | jk, lubuntu is optimized for older/slower hardware | 09:01 |
| kraM | Hey folks. Short question: Any apt option is configured in /etc/apt.conf.d/20whatever.conf. If I add /etc/apt.conf.d/21whatever.conf, will 21 configuration override 20 configuration? | 09:02 |
| jk | well, im not sure if it might have a hw problem, is it usually that xubuntu need 100% cpu with a 1.6ghz single core permanently? | 09:02 |
| somsip | kraM: no, one will run before the other | 09:02 |
| kraM | somsip: Thank you. | 09:03 |
| lardo | hello | 09:03 |
| cfhowlett | jk, 100% cpu is a concern whether it's hardware or software focused. | 09:03 |
| jk | cfhowlett: well the system monitor showed 100% | 09:04 |
| Frostsongr | jk been using xubuntu for server years myself and like cfhowlett said it could be either. | 09:04 |
| Frostsongr | *several | 09:04 |
| cfhowlett | jk, do this: sudo apt-get install lxde logout/choose "lubuntu" or "lxde" session, login. test the performance. | 09:05 |
| Frostsongr | You may have a process stuck check your top etc etc | 09:05 |
| jk | i'll try lubuntu | 09:05 |
| lardo | I may have a question | 09:05 |
| Frostsongr | you don't have to chance distros just check whats running now | 09:06 |
| Frostsongr | see if anything is going crazy in top | 09:06 |

| cfhowlett | lardo, unless "su" is a user, you cannot do that. | 09:09 |
| tomodachi | lardo: you cannot login as su , since su is not a use r | 09:09 |
| jk | root has no password set | 09:09 |

| ljunggren | Hi, since i never get an answer in #ati i figured i would try here as well. Using any fglrx drivers for my system makes it jerky. When resizing a window it "freezes" i get terrible performance overall. Is there a common BIOS setting or avarage setting i have missed? Im using a i7 870 , radeon 7950, 8gb ram. I can notice CPU goes up when trying to resize a window | 09:11 |
| ljunggren | Ubuntu 14.04.1 Unity | 09:11 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: did you install ubuntu with internet/updates enabled? | 09:11 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: yes | 09:11 |
| jk | tomodacho are in this case the proper variables those root uses or your user? | 09:11 |
| lardo | ok fine thanks I have root access | 09:11 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: how so? | 09:12 |
| lardo | another question: what are "." and ".." directories | 09:12 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: well mostly that will let ubuntu choose best driver for your ati | 09:12 |
| Frostsongr | if you are using a *buntu just sudo a command with your own password to login and you are ready to to go | 09:12 |
| jk | lardo: . is the directory you are in and .. is the above directory | 09:13 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: other drivers show up your additional driver list? | 09:13 |
| somsip | lardo: eg ls ./ will list this dir, and ls ../ will list the directory above it | 09:13 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: yes, open source drivers are fine for just unity but i can't get any perfomance in game at all. But using FGLRX i would assume that my card would at least be able to run Unity at decent speed. | 09:13 |
| lardo | ok fine thanks | 09:14 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: i have tried fglrx and fglxr-updates from there. No difference, and im currently using newest catalyst 14.12 from amd website | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: dont think that this catalyst on their site is reccomended | 09:15 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: doesnt matter its the same with regular fglrx from repos as well | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: i would focus with fglrx and your logs to see whats happening | 09:15 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: what logs would that be? care to help? | 09:16 |
| ljunggren | lotuspsychje: i even get lag wile typing here...lol | 09:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ljunggren: dmesg, syslog, worg can be usefull | 09:16 |
| lotuspsychje | xorg | 09:16 |
| ljunggren | ok | 09:17 |
| ljunggren | 'i have no idea what to even look for so i don't know if looking at them will do any good | 09:17 |
| lardo | How can I write in /opt ? | 09:17 |
| neure | fyi, turns out i had to install guest additions twice to fresh ubuntu install before clipboard started working | 09:17 |
| neure | strange | 09:17 |

| ljunggre1 | Im running a freshly installed ubuntu 14.04 with radeon 7950 i7 870 and 8gb ram. Open source amd drivers runs fine in unity but crap in games. Installing fglrx from either repo or amd website results in the same : Unity have very low performance. Resizing windows even freezes the windows etc. Have i missed something? | 09:42 |
| ljunggre1 | I know fglrx is bad but i figured it would at least be able to run Unity with a radeon 7950 without issues | 09:43 |
| ljunggre1 | I can see my CPU jump up while trying to resize windows (when it freezes) something tells me that something is wrong | 09:44 |

| jargon | i want to install xfce desktop on my ubunt 14.04 box. it has no GUI and i want to install xfce. so i ran `aptitude install xfce` and when it was done i rebooted, but was still presented with the terminal screen, not a GUI login. how do i achieve this? | 10:17 |
| sahar | with chmod +x *.pm | 10:17 |
| sahar | then ./[your source file name].pm | 10:18 |
| cfhowlett | jargon, wrong. sudo apt-get install xfce4 and select "xubuntu" session at the login screen | 10:18 |
| jargon | cfhowlett: sorry, i meant i did `aptitude install xfce4` | 10:19 |
| Guest25980 | i will try this sahar thank you | 10:19 |

| jeevan_ullas | hi guys does ubuntu support vnc headless install ? | 10:32 |
| cfhowlett | !vnc | jeevan_ullas | 10:32 |
| ubottu | jeevan_ullas: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 10:32 |
| cfhowlett | !install | jeevan_ullas, YES it does. | 10:32 |
| ubottu | jeevan_ullas, YES it does.: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| yguyut7 | Canonical Ltd makes $100 million per year, i'm sure they can afford to pay for 2 dedicated support staff to work here on the channel giving Ubuntu better reputation as a Windows replacement | 10:38 |
| ikonia | what are you on about | 10:39 |
| svetlana | yguyut7: i think the 'lets do a windows replacement' goal had been set aside recently. | 10:40 |
| ikonia | I'm not sure how this channel has anything to do with that either | 10:41 |
| svetlana | about support-- i am moderately pleased with it, there are places to put meta issues to get them solved. | 10:41 |
| svetlana | like the mailing list, if the issue is too narrow to get sorted here. | 10:41 |
| cfhowlett | official, dedicated support is offered from canonical. | 10:42 |
| svetlana | oh yes, i should check it out. i am out of the loop. | 10:43 |
| svetlana | thanks. | 10:43 |
| ScioMin | what is Ubuntu 14.04 default remote desktop tool called? i want to fire it from terminal. | 10:44 |

| yguyut7 | is it Canonical Ltd goal to make Ubuntu a buggy product just so they can make money through their paid support? | 10:45 |
| cfhowlett | yguyut7, again: if you need dedicated support, go to canonical.com | 10:45 |
| ikonia | yguyut7: you're just being silly now - please stop | 10:45 |

| leeyaa | how to fix dbd::mysql it seems it has wrong api version install_driver(mysql) failed: Perl API version v5.14.0 of DBD::mysql does not match v5.18.0 at /usr/lib/perl/5.18/DynaLoader.pm line 207. | 10:46 |
| ikonia | leeyaa: check the min/max version of mysql that module is expecting | 10:46 |
| k1l | leeyaa: is this a PPA or a 3rd party install? | 10:47 |
| leeyaa | k1l: ppa | 10:47 |
| leeyaa | ikonia: how to do that ? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | read the documentation on it ? | 10:47 |
| leeyaa | i think it happened after upgrade from 12.04 | 10:47 |

| yguyut7 | does Ubuntu officially support PPAs? | 11:05 |

| ikonia | yguyut7: could you clarify what you mean | 11:05 |
| ikonia | by "ubuntu" and "support" | 11:05 |
| ppf | my question from earlier is still open: how do i see which kernel module defines a certain function? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | ppf: can you give an example ? | 11:06 |
| ppf | sure, bottom line: ibp_server: disagrees about version of symbol ib_unregister_client | 11:07 |
| ppf | that's the error i'm trying to fix, which occurs when i try to insert the ibp_server module | 11:08 |
| ikonia | where is the ibp module coming from | 11:08 |
| ikonia | it sounds like it's an external module | 11:08 |
| ppf | (that's infiniband stuff) | 11:08 |
| ikonia | is it the stock one part of the default kernel ? | 11:08 |
| ppf | no | 11:08 |
| ikonia | ok - so then it sounds like it's expecting a different kernel base as a starting point | 11:09 |
| ikonia | hence the symbol miss-match | 11:09 |
| ikonia | talking to the person who wrote the module to get it's dependencies/requirements or documentation on it would be a good starting poipnt | 11:09 |
| ppf | could be, that's what i'm trying to test | 11:09 |
| ikonia | it's a common error when someone write a module for the 3.3 kernel generic (for example) and it works up to say 3.3.14 - but then 3.3.15 breaks it | 11:10 |
| ikonia | because the kernel is changing the module provider is not keeping up | 11:10 |
| ikonia | (just an example | 11:10 |
| ppf | i'm hoping, though, that it's a mismatch between two modules, because that's easier to fix | 11:11 |
| ikonia | are both modules 3rd party ? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | I thought one of those looked stock | 11:11 |
| ppf | no, most of the ib modules are part of the kernel or the package repositories | 11:12 |
| ikonia | right so the ones that are part of the kernel are you baseline - they are not going to change | 11:12 |
| ikonia | the 3rd party modules need to work with them | 11:12 |
| ppf | that's why i'm trying to figure out which module is providing the conflicting symbols, so that maybe i can swap it out | 11:13 |
| ikonia | you can't just swap out a module | 11:13 |
| ikonia | are you the maintainer of any of these modules ? | 11:13 |
| ppf | no :) | 11:14 |
| ikonia | so what are you trying to swap out then ? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | the logical step would be to log a bug against the 3rd party module failing providing details of the failure | 11:14 |
| ikonia | then the maintainers can fix that or build a compatible version for your current kernel | 11:14 |
| ppf | i'm afraid i have to leave for lunch, but i'll get back to you once i get back! | 11:15 |
| ppf | thank you, so far | 11:15 |

| hs366 | k1l, ths for support | 11:38 |
| hs366 | it's linux command | 11:39 |
| hs366 | not related to any distro | 11:39 |

| SupaYoshi | How do I restart rsync? | 11:41 |
| k1l | SupaYoshi: run the rsync command again? :) | 11:41 |
| SupaYoshi | i changed the config | 11:42 |
| SupaYoshi | I want to restart the server to change settings. | 11:42 |
| SupaYoshi | (port number) | 11:42 |
| k1l | SupaYoshi: do you mean ssh and not rsync? | 11:42 |
| SupaYoshi | kil, no I read that you can specifiy a port rsync uses | 11:43 |
| SupaYoshi | I want to keep the ssh port 22. | 11:43 |
| SupaYoshi | But I want rsync to sync over another port ;) | 11:43 |
| k1l | ah, you mean running rsync as a daemon | 11:43 |
| SupaYoshi | rsync -avz -e ssh -p PORT /source/dir/here rsync_webdata@ipaddress.here:/target/dir/here/ | 11:43 |
| SupaYoshi | oh wait. | 11:44 |
| k1l | well that uses ssh | 11:44 |
| SupaYoshi | oh okay, so I need ssh always open to use rsync? | 11:45 |
| SupaYoshi | i changed the config file but idk where it is anymore | 11:47 |
| SupaYoshi | wth | 11:47 |
| SupaYoshi | oh here, i changed this /etc/default/rsync | 11:47 |
| SupaYoshi | So hey, in case I want to use a remote backup server, I need both SSH and RSYNC port to be open? | 11:48 |
| sadgit_ | what would I have to mess with in order to change ubuntu's behaviour when mounting the root partition at boot time? | 11:49 |
| SupaYoshi | oh wait, there is a RSYNC_ENABLE=false, i change that to true | 11:49 |
| rudolf_ | Hi | 11:58 |
| hateball | sadgit_: what are you looking to do? | 11:58 |
| anderson__ | Boom....... | 11:58 |
| rudolf_ | Is there any improvement in display quality if I use the graphics drivers provided by AMD instead of using the inbuilt drivers? | 11:59 |
| anderson__ | Sure. | 11:59 |
| hs366 | hey k1l, it was just a short answer not related to any distro , maybe next time you could help some one instead of audit him ! | 12:10 |
| k1l | hs366: maybe next time you ask the right support in the first place to stop this drama to happen and spoil others support. thanks! | 12:10 |
| rudolf_ | Can anyone please answer my question? | 12:11 |
| hateball | rudolf_: There's better performance in games and such | 12:11 |
| k1l | rudolf_: depends on the exact card but the performance is better on newer cards. but older cards get dropped from amd and you need to use the open driver anyway | 12:12 |
| rudolf_ | ok...thanks | 12:12 |
| hs366 | k1l, no thx to you that i learn something but its just a simple global command | 12:12 |
| k1l | rudolf_: but ubuntu ships amd drivers too, first try them | 12:13 |
| rudolf_ | ok | 12:13 |
| k1l | hs366: its rude of you still making drama while you were wrong in the first place. now you are muted since you still carry on. ask the right guys for your distro. if you want ubuntu support use ubuntu. if you have general linux questions ask ##linux | 12:14 |
| rudolf_ | And on thing more...Everytime I restart the laptop, the brightness changes to full by itself. Is it normal ? How do I fix it to a certain level? | 12:14 |

| rudolf_ | And why is my ubuntu giving this result "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)" when I use "lspci | grep VGA" command? | 12:20 |
| rudolf_ | Why is it not using the radeon card? | 12:21 |
| k1l | rudolf_: seems like you have 2 video cards. the intel on inside the cpu and the amd one | 12:21 |
| k1l | rudolf_: install the fglrx from the ubuntu repo and then you can use both | 12:21 |
| rudolf_ | okies | 12:22 |
| k1l | jin_baba: which package downloading? apt-get? | 12:22 |
| jin_baba | im downloading eclipse via apt-get command | 12:22 |
| k1l | jin_baba: you can only stop it. | 12:22 |
| k1l | crtl+c | 12:23 |
| jin_baba | i want to pause it and use apt-get to install a different library | 12:23 |
| jin_baba | it might kill the entire downloading right? | 12:23 |
| k1l | yes it will kill all | 12:23 |
| jin_baba | no way to pause? | 12:23 |
| k1l | not that i am aware of | 12:23 |
| jin_baba | or run another instance of apt-get | 12:23 |

| Beankylla | elmagio: yes | 12:33 |
| bwen | i'm trying to use "chpasswd -encrypted" but I fail to find what type of encyption I must provide for the passwords? | 12:34 |
| k1l | elmagio: what system is your main system? | 12:34 |
| elmagio | Well, my issue is that my laptop doesn't boot anymore, I can get into grub just fine but it will get stuck on the splash screen afterwards | 12:34 |
| elmagio | k1l: Ubuntu 14.10 on an Asus UX301 | 12:35 |
| Beankylla | what you can do | 12:35 |
| Beankylla | is do a boot | 12:35 |
| Beankylla | normal one | 12:35 |
| rudolf_ | k1l: I installed fglrx through synaptic package manager but still it gives the same result "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)" | 12:35 |
| Beankylla | and press eccape when splash screen comes on | 12:35 |
| elmagio | I have booted into a live session and ran boot-repair, but it hasn't fixed the issue | 12:36 |

| tsunamie | hey guys. when I perform "apt-cache policy docker" I can see a version 1.5.1. It states that I have installed 1.5-1 However when I fo a docker -version it says it's client version is 1.0.1 | 12:36 |
| tsunamie | why is that? | 12:37 |
| rudolf_ | k1l: Here http://paste.ubuntu.com/10187580/ | 12:37 |
| elmagio | k1l: Nothing in particular, just force shutdown'd it after it didn't want to wake up from suspend. Then it just didn't boot | 12:37 |
| k1l | rudolf_: see the last line | 12:38 |
| elmagio | I have detailed my issue a bit more on this thread on the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2265008 | 12:38 |
| k1l | rudolf_: like i said: dual grafix | 12:38 |
| pretodor | guys, i messed up. i have reverse-tethered my phone with my laptop but i accidentally deleted the wired connection. now my laptop can't connect to my phone properly. any idea how i can fix this? | 12:38 |
| pretodor | *the wired connection between the two devices. it used to be under 'Wired connection 2' | 12:38 |
| rudolf_ | k1l: So the last line says the current graphics controller. | 12:38 |
| elmagio | Beankylla: I pressed escape and now I have text, the last line is "Stopping userspace bootsplash" | 12:39 |
| k1l | rudolf_: yes. its a dual card setup. like i told you now 5 times. | 12:39 |
| rudolf_ | And what does lspci | grep VGA tells? | 12:39 |
| kern_v_ | elmagio: it seems your MBR is corrupted. I would try burning an PartedMagic bootable tool cd and then rewrite your MBR to boot the right device | 12:40 |
| k1l | rudolf_: you know what that comand does at all? | 12:41 |
| jin_baba | how can i put application shortcuts on the desktop like in windows? | 12:41 |
| rudolf_ | k1l: No :| I saw it on askubuntu.com with the title "Find Graphics Card/Driver Details" | 12:42 |
| k1l | rudolf_: it shows "lspci" and then reduces it to the line containing "VGA". just dont get distracted because its not labled VGA on your amd card | 12:42 |
| elmagio | kern_v_: Should I backup my root partition before or is the risk minimal? Also could you link me to a page with the process described for someone not too knowledgeable? (I can burn the iso just fine, it's what comes afterwards I may screw up.) | 12:42 |
| k1l | rudolf_: i explained now several times now that you have a intel video card (build into the cpu) and a amd video card. | 12:42 |
| rudolf_ | Ah...got it. Grep shows the results containing the matches VGA. | 12:43 |
| rudolf_ | Thanks a lot k1l | 12:43 |
| elmagio | kern_v_: Also isn't the MBR partition something boot repair can fix? | 12:43 |
| jin_baba | how can i place application shortcuts on the desktop like in windows? | 12:43 |
| nessessary129 | jin_baba, just drag the shortcuts from menu and drop them on the desktop | 12:45 |

| jin_baba | my sidebar is cluttered | 12:48 |
| elmagio | kern_v_: Will do. Thanks for your help already ! | 12:49 |
| kern_v_ | elmagio: It's the most complete resource I found on the matter. Also LPI book should give you a nice insight of how devices are mapped under the MBR and GRUB | 12:49 |
| elmagio | kern_v_: OK, i'll try and make sense of it ! | 12:51 |
| kern_v_ | elmagio: In a nutshell your MBR must contain very technical data on your disks mapping and then point one to be booted. I remember just using partedmagic to select one disk and rewritting it very very easily. | 12:51 |
| kern_v_ | elmagio: good luck mate ;) | 12:51 |

| ubottu | s1991: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 12:56 |

| Ben64 | s1991: if you read the link it shows a few methods | 12:59 |
| s1991 | Ben42: I tried for example testdisk, but what it does is create a partition if it is deleted. But mine is deleted and and now I have is single partition | 13:01 |
| Ben64 | s1991: right, that is one of the recovery methods on that page | 13:01 |
| s1991 | Ben42: ya, but didn't work | 13:02 |

| mysupper | davis_ use pastbin if you can. | 13:43 |
| SupaYoshi | I don't think I even touched it yet, (edited) | 13:43 |
| SupaYoshi | What can I do to resolve this, the user is root and the owner is crontab i checked another box | 13:43 |
| SupaYoshi | and it was the same and same permissions | 13:43 |
| mysupper | SupaYoshi: check you used su first. | 13:44 |
| SupaYoshi | I don't know why Its giving me persmission denied now | 13:44 |
| SupaYoshi | what do you mean? | 13:44 |
| mysupper | I mean sudo crontab -e is working | 13:44 |
| davis_ | mysupper: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10188367/ | 13:45 |
| SupaYoshi | sudo crontab -e works | 13:45 |
| SupaYoshi | But crontab -e gives me permission denied | 13:45 |
| mysupper | SupaYoshi: which means your ID is not permitted to use crontab. | 13:45 |
| SupaYoshi | but my user can have its own crontab right? | 13:46 |
| somsip | SupaYoshi: or your cronfile is messed up in something like /var/spool/cron/crontabs | 13:46 |
| SupaYoshi | oh there is a file in that folder yeah called www-data | 13:47 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: `chattr -i /usr/bin/crontab` | 13:47 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: Then do `crontab -l` | 13:47 |
| SupaYoshi | chattr: Permission denied while setting flags on /usr/bin/crontab | 13:48 |
| SupaYoshi | when i do this as user | 13:48 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: Re-run that command as root. | 13:48 |
| SupaYoshi | when i do it as root, it works, then i go back to user | 13:48 |
| SupaYoshi | and still permission denied | 13:48 |
| agent_white | `sudo chattr -i /usr/bin/crontab` | 13:48 |
| davis_ | mysupper: What's the problem in it? | 13:48 |
| agent_white | Then as user | 13:48 |
| agent_white | `crontab -l` | 13:48 |
| SupaYoshi | crontabs/sup4y0sh1/: fopen: Permission denied | 13:49 |
| Pantsu | suid crontab is a horrible idea | 13:49 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: Permissions are messed up on that. | 13:49 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: `sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/crontab` | 13:50 |
| SupaYoshi | okay.... | 13:50 |
| SupaYoshi | okay thanks! | 13:51 |
| agent_white | `sudo chmod 0755 crond` | 13:51 |
| agent_white | Then try `crontab -l` once again. | 13:51 |
| SupaYoshi | thanks! | 13:51 |
| SupaYoshi | That works, the file is empty though but I guess that is okay | 13:51 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: When you see an issue with "denied permissions", run `stat /path/to/file`. Then look at the _first_ line that says "Access". | 13:52 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: That's fine. Just do your `crontab -e` and whatnot to go from there. | 13:52 |
| agent_white | :) | 13:52 |

| newuser | agent_white: no use, the page contains swf and its not getting saved locally, I also tried maff and unmht plugins of firefox but to no avail | 13:56 |
| SupaYoshi | agent_white i cannot write at all to the crontab | 13:56 |
| SupaYoshi | I can open it now though | 13:56 |

| SupaYoshi | agent_white, no not that either | 13:58 |
| agent_white | newuser: So your goal is to save an swf on the page? | 13:58 |
| SupaYoshi | somsip, i can make crontab jobs as root. | 13:58 |
| SupaYoshi | i just want to run the script as user not as root | 13:58 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: If there's an error reading files in your home folder... something is up. | 13:59 |
| SupaYoshi | nah i edited some files with nano as root | 13:59 |
| SupaYoshi | now the .nano_hstory doesnt work | 13:59 |
| newuser | agent_white: to save the whole page locally including its swf as an html file | 13:59 |

| SupaYoshi | So the question if I can run it is out of the question so far right? | 14:07 |
| kern_v_ | elmagio: wich might have damaged your harddisk during its normal ops | 14:07 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: What did you enter in the crontab? | 14:08 |
| SupaYoshi | just nada | 14:08 |
| agent_white | SupaYoshi: `crontab -e` ... and when you enter it in, do `* * * * * /path/to/your/script` | 14:09 |

| Pantsu | " foobar # comment" == not ok | 14:38 |
| Pantsu | acording to the manual | 14:38 |
| Pantsu | you can always just try it and see(tm) though :) | 14:38 |
| leeyaa | Pantsu: weird, i just tried " foobar # comment" and logrotate didnt complain | 14:38 |
| Pantsu | man pages are not always kept up to date | 14:39 |
| Pantsu | sadly | 14:39 |
| leeyaa | well i just need to put "marks" so some script can update logrotate config files without overwritting the whole file | 14:39 |
| leeyaa | at least thats my goal | 14:39 |
| leeyaa | comments above or bellow is also ok i guess | 14:40 |
| Pantsu | you could use schemas for that | 14:40 |
| leeyaa | does this require any extra software ? | 14:40 |
| Pantsu | asuming the configs are identical across the systems | 14:40 |
| leeyaa | i cant install anything extra | 14:40 |
| leeyaa | well i can but i am not supposed to | 14:40 |

| dtcrshr | is there any good parent / content control for ubuntu? | 14:41 |
| zerowaitstate | dtcrshr: my advice is do that at the router, not in the OS. OS security is easy to bypass if you have physical access. | 14:42 |
| === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc | ||

| zerowaitstate | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ParentalControls | 14:42 |

| kern_v_ | elmagio: by power surge that could occur. | 14:55 |
| cfhowlett | mbruzek, he works at nagios but doesn't know how to update his upstream packages? call me suspicious but, no that doesn't sound right. | 14:56 |
| mbruzek | I found this group in launchpad, https://launchpad.net/nagios but I was wondering if you guys had any more information on how to do or update packaing? | 14:56 |
| mysupper | ooooops, I finally installed gnome and started to restoring from stupid crash plan server. | 14:56 |
| cfhowlett | !packaging | 14:56 |
| ubottu | The packaging guide is at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring | 14:56 |

| mbruzek | cfhowlett He is a Nagios employee that wants to update the packages for Ubuntu. Just trying to get him with the right information. Thanks obottu | 14:57 |
| Pici | Lixumux: /etc/issue or /etc/lsb-release | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | Lixumux, wait 1, there's an easier file | 14:59 |
| jnhghy | I've just chmod -R /. instead of ./ now my /etc/ is 777 anybody any idea what I can do without reinstalling? | 14:59 |
| jnhghy | I can't login as root | 15:00 |
| jpds | jnhghy: Restore from backup. | 15:00 |
| Lixumux | Pici, thanks for the quick answer, both of them are ok | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | Lixumux, on the usb: README.diskdefines is a text file | 15:02 |
| kern_v_ | jnhghy: boot a live cd | 15:02 |

| jnhghy | :) | 15:02 |
| mysupper | amazing, I should wait 7 days to restore from crash plan. | 15:03 |
| mysupper | I wonder why I paid for this ridiculous money consuming vendor. | 15:03 |
| jpds | mbruzek: #ubuntu-motu. | 15:03 |
| Lixumux | cfhowlett, both /etc/issue and /etc/lsb-release containst that info, but curious as to where that README.diskdefines is located? Which folder? | 15:04 |

| ikonia | xmpp | 15:12 |

| N3w_Com3r | lo no wireless extension | 15:27 |
| N3w_Com3r | etho no wireless extension | 15:27 |
| somsip | !info mariadb | 15:28 |
| ubottu | Package mariadb does not exist in utopic | 15:28 |
| somsip | momomomomo: so where did you get it from? | 15:28 |
| N3w_Com3r | what does it mean | 15:28 |
| N3w_Com3r | iwconfig | 15:28 |
| genii | !info mariadb-common | 15:28 |
| ubottu | mariadb-common (source: mariadb-5.5): MariaDB common metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.5.41-1ubuntu0.14.10.1 (utopic), package size 13 kB, installed size 65 kB | 15:28 |
| N3w_Com3r | what to do w/ that | 15:29 |
| genii | somsip: The packages are like mariadb-client and mariadb-server | 15:29 |
| somsip | momomomomo: genii: ah - so it is an official package then? | 15:29 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: it is a programm used only for configuring wireless connections | 15:29 |
| momomomomo | one sec :O | 15:29 |
| N3w_Com3r | yeah right | 15:29 |
| Reventlov | Hello. | 15:29 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: that's that no more no less | 15:29 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: it is a command line program | 15:29 |
| N3w_Com3r | but i dont know how configure | 15:30 |
| somsip | momomomomo: so surely, you just apt-get install mariadb-common and it will pull the others in? Or do you ahve a reason to only upgrade -server? | 15:30 |
| N3w_Com3r | cause my 1st time | 15:30 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: ok but you are connected to the internet otherwise you wouldnt be talking here right | 15:30 |
| N3w_Com3r | yup | 15:30 |
| N3w_Com3r | so | 15:30 |

| N3w_Com3r | what is the 1st move to navigate a wifi | 15:31 |
| Reventlov | Let's say I installed ubuntu 14.04 alongside with windows 8, in uefi mode. My computer still boot on windows because of the uefi, or I don't know why. I can launch grub after a cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi | 15:31 |
| momomomomo | somsip: mariadb common is installed | 15:31 |
| momomomomo | but apt-get upgrade (no package) tosses up an error about the client | 15:32 |
| genii | momomomomo: Did you install package for each just called mariadb-client and mariadb-server or did you install the specific version like mariadb-server-5.5 or mariadb-client-5.5 ? If you used specific version then it will just stick at that one. If you have mariadb-client and mariadb-server those will always be later versions | 15:32 |
| N3w_Com3r | kern_v | 15:32 |
| Reventlov | Still, with grub, I cannot boot with windows, no message is shown | 15:32 |
| jirido | ikonia: Thank you | 15:32 |
| momomomomo | genii: I believe it’s just a mariadb-common install | 15:32 |
| Reventlov | I get back to the grub menu | 15:32 |
| N3w_Com3r | that is a project | 15:32 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: unfortunatly there is no easy answer to your question | 15:32 |
| somsip | momomomomo: yes, but you're doing an upgrade on -server only. Does -common need updating to bring in the dependencies for the new version of -server? | 15:32 |
| kern_v_ | N3w_Com3r: you can read further here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration | 15:32 |
| Reventlov | what can I do ? | 15:33 |
| genii | momomomomo: May want to do like sudo apt-get install --reinstall mariadb-client | 15:33 |
| N3w_Com3r | no shortcut at all | 15:33 |
| momomomomo | somsip: eh I was trying those because the upgrade with no package specified failed; | 15:33 |
| momomomomo | mariadb common throws an error about the client as well - genii will try | 15:33 |
| N3w_Com3r | cause tommorow it will pass it | 15:33 |
| somsip | momomomomo: apt-get install mariadb-common, I would think | 15:33 |
| momomomomo | somsip: I already have mariadb-common. | 15:34 |
| * genii wanders back to work for a bit | 15:34 | |
| momomomomo | https://gist.github.com/momer/8d89ca7853b66a942d88 updated | 15:34 |
| momomomomo | no dice on the mariadb-client reinstall; one sec I’ll post dpkg -s for each | 15:35 |

| mysupper | :) | 15:41 |
| herrkin | I have a file which does the backup part | 15:41 |
| herrkin | if I call it directly it runs and works fine | 15:41 |
| somsip | herrkin: does it use environmental variables? | 15:42 |
| herrkin | if I do crontab it seems to work while I am in session | 15:42 |
| herrkin | if i leave it it doesnt work | 15:42 |
| herrkin | let me check the file | 15:42 |
| somsip | momomomomo: sorry, can't find much. My experience to fixing things like that is to force it, but that's not always the best recommendation | 15:42 |
| mysupper | herrkin: you remind me of my fault backing up sql using logrotate on group writable directory. | 15:42 |

| herrkin | or pastebin? | 15:44 |
| somsip | herrkin: paste it somewhere. | 15:44 |
| herrkin | ok | 15:44 |
| herrkin | somsip, this is whats in the file | 15:46 |
| herrkin | http://pastebin.com/hk9tQiWM | 15:46 |
| somsip | herrkin: I'd put a full path on pg_dump (like you did with /bin/date) and check the writability of paths to /home/backup.log and /location* as unusual to use these | 15:48 |
| somsip | herrkin: but I have no idea if just exporting user/pass will be picked up by pg_dump. So maybe there is a way to specify these on the command line, or in a config file | 15:49 |
| herrkin | as I mentioned it works when I just run the file | 15:49 |
| somsip | herrkin: as mentioned, crontab doesn't use the login environment in the same way | 15:49 |
| herrkin | and if I do a crontab it also works | 15:49 |
| somsip | herrkin: so in what way is it failing? | 15:50 |
| herrkin | but.. if I am logged out some times it wont work | 15:50 |
| herrkin | I have no way to figure out whats going on | 15:50 |
| mysupper | curious, I wonder the crontab contents of him. | 15:52 |
| mysupper | maybe hibernated? | 15:52 |
| herrkin | its a server, it has to remain running | 15:53 |
| herrkin | Ill paste my crontab line now | 15:53 |
| mysupper | if hyper-loaded can show that kind of behaviour. | 15:53 |
| mysupper | and also check cron logs. | 15:54 |
| herrkin | how do I see those logs? | 15:54 |
| mysupper | var/log/syslog | 15:55 |
| herrkin | I just tried the cron to see if I logged out it worked | 15:55 |
| herrkin | it didnt | 15:55 |

| iCHAIT | hello all | 16:42 |
| iCHAIT | I am using a MacBook Air(early 2014 model) having 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 | 16:42 |
| iCHAIT | I want to install Ubuntu on it and compile a version of Ubuntu kernel as a part of my college assignment,I also want to disable some pre installed modules and make some small modules like multiplication,addition,subtraction of two numbers and insert this module into the kernel and subsequently be able to remove it!! | 16:42 |
| iCHAIT | What would be best suited for me, dual booting Ubuntu or installing Ubuntu via virtual box ?? | 16:42 |
| ObrienDave | valleydaddy78, are you having trouble with a laptop? | 16:42 |
| valleydaddy78 | pavilion g6 | 16:43 |
| valleydaddy78 | hp | 16:43 |
| farzeen | dupingping: here it is:http://pbrd.co/1E4yK5Z | 16:43 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: Use a tool like vmware or parallels | 16:43 |
| ObrienDave | valleydaddy78, what is the internal wi-fi adapter model? | 16:43 |
| valleydaddy78 | r8169 | 16:44 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: Dual-booting can ruin both installs if you don't know what you're doing and Ubuntu doesn't support all the hardware on the latest MBA ootb | 16:44 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Read: The Linux kernel doesn't yet | 16:44 |
| valleydaddy78 | mii 13934 1 r8169 | 16:46 |
| iCHAIT | @NIkolaiToryzin: By vmware you mean virtual box??RIGHT?? | 16:46 |
| ObrienDave | valleydaddy78, http://askubuntu.com/questions/501550/driver-r8169-of-realtek | 16:46 |
| farzeen | dupingping: see this too http://pbrd.co/1E4zoQZ | 16:46 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: Personally, virtualbox sucks. | 16:46 |
| NikolaiToryzin | But whatever you want to use | 16:46 |
| NikolaiToryzin | I meant vmware player though | 16:47 |
| iCHAIT | NikolaiToryzin, | 16:47 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Yes? | 16:47 |
| iCHAIT | have u played around with the module?? | 16:47 |
| iCHAIT | through vmware | 16:48 |
| iCHAIT | coz thats my main concern | 16:48 |
| agent_white | iCHAIT: Virtualbox/VMware until you find a nice OS you enjoy,then dual boot. Don't listen to nitpicks on vbox/vmware at this point, as they won't matter to you. | 16:48 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Module? | 16:48 |
| valleydaddy78 | i ran the command what do i do now | 16:48 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: I'd play with the parallels trial for a bit personally. | 16:49 |
| iCHAIT | the different ubuntu modules.. | 16:49 |
| NikolaiToryzin | agent_white: On his MBA I wouldn't risk trying to dual-boot | 16:49 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Ubuntu will try to shove grub or so | 16:49 |
| agent_white | For an MBA? I would expect dual-booting would be a piece of cake. | 16:49 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Something on and it won't boot either OS so he'd need to install refind | 16:49 |
| agent_white | Both, rather. | 16:50 |
| NikolaiToryzin | And I've heard mixed things about getting refind on 10.10 | 16:50 |
| agent_white | But I was saying dual-booting for just his own purposes. For testing, easily use a VM. | 16:50 |
| valleydaddy78 | i ran the command what do i do now | 16:50 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: VMs are great for that | 16:51 |
| jin_baba | can you save the session in xchat? | 16:51 |
| NikolaiToryzin | On the plus side you can't break your system by installing a broken kernel you compiled | 16:51 |
| jin_baba | like you can save the open tabs in the browser | 16:51 |
| agent_white | jin_baba: As in you would like to re-connect to the same server and channels each time you open xchat? | 16:52 |
| jin_baba | exactly | 16:52 |
| krux | jin_baba: you would have to autoconnect each server your wanting to connect to.. and set the channels to autojoin | 16:52 |
| iCHAIT | In terms of working around with pre installed modules and with my own modules VM would be a better option?? @Nikolai@agent_white ?? | 16:52 |
| jin_baba | alright thanks | 16:53 |
| agent_white | jin_baba: Check out the "edit" pane in the network list. | 16:53 |
| agent_white | There should be a checkbox for autoconnect, as well as an "autojoin channels" tab. | 16:53 |
| agent_white | iCHAIT: Correct. Simply, a VM is good for experimentation. That's what you need. | 16:54 |
| patricelafrance | p.lafrance.plancher.professionnel@hotmail.com | 16:55 |
| andril | any help with grub? | 16:56 |
| jin_baba | @agent_white I have checked auto connect in edit server screen but i dont see autojoin channels. What am I missing? | 16:56 |
| rodrigograca31 | I have a .img file with 8GBs... but I want to write it to a 4GB sdcard... It has 8GB because was created using "dd" and copied the blank space... so, how can I remove this blank space? | 16:58 |
| agent_white | jin_baba: http://xchat.org/faq/#q22 | 16:58 |
| iCHAIT | And by using VM there will be no need to install refind @agent_white?? | 16:58 |
| agent_white | iCHAIT: I don't know what refind is. | 16:58 |
| agent_white | iCHAIT: I suggest you look into: booting a VM from an image, and customizing an image. | 16:59 |
| NikolaiToryzin | iCHAIT: with a vm you don't need refind | 16:59 |

| molgrum | how do i know if mono (for wine) is installed on my system? | 17:07 |
| studentttu | I was installing silverlight mod to my ubuntu, and i fced something up and i cant get update anymore apt-get update E: Type 'sudo' is not known on line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list E: The list of sources could not be read. | 17:07 |
| studentttu | How can i fix it? | 17:08 |
| ObrienDave | OerHeks, ummm, what's wrong with the Intel drivers? | 17:10 |
| D0C-saintly | OerHeks: well, once there are AC capable drivers outside of Intel i'll be happy to not use them :) | 17:10 |
| Bashing-om | studentttu: open the file with admin privivilegs : /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list ; and fix that line . If not apparent, post to pastebin and we see what we can do . | 17:10 |
| D0C-saintly | and aside from that, my apt-get upgrade is still flagging a bunch of packages saying they can't be verified | 17:10 |
| dupingping | ubuntu is maintaining compiz now? | 17:10 |
| ObrienDave | D0C-saintly, you need to update the GPG keys | 17:11 |
| OerHeks | ObrienDave, intel drivers from that site are bad. | 17:11 |
| D0C-saintly | ObrienDave: how do I do that? | 17:11 |

| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 17:12 |
| studentttu | Bashing-om: can you paste your sources.list.d somewhere? for some reason i have "deb http://.." stuff there | 17:13 |
| OerHeks | D0C-saintly, ObrienDave if you really want newer drivers, use https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 17:13 |
| Bashing-om | studentttu: Sure I will... be aware tht firectory will only contain 3rd party source fetches,. stand by . | 17:13 |
| Bashing-om | studentttu: My 3rd party directory: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10190859/ . | 17:15 |
| ObrienDave | D0C-saintly, you need to get the signing key from each ppa and import from the keyserver | 17:15 |
| studentttu | Bashing-om: aa okay thanks. These deb stuff must be some useless debian stuff. i deleted it and it works now | 17:16 |

| cabel | I'm hoping someone could help me. I have a Windows uefi and gpt system with Android-x86 installed. I would like to install grub2 bootloader from ubuntu. How can I do this using the live cd? | 17:51 |
| EriC^^ | !lostgrub | cabel | 17:52 |
| EriC^^ | !grub | cabel | 17:52 |
| ubottu | cabel: 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 | 17:52 |
| Sivik | has anyone ever seen where you have ati drives with ubuntu 14.04 and using multiple monitors, that your mouse cursor would show up on some monitors but not all | 17:52 |
| cabel | I never had grub. I do not want to install ubuntu, I just want to use it's grub bootloader | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | cabel: it should apply the same as reinstalling grub from a live usb after windows demolishes it | 17:53 |
| EriC^^ | ( i guess ) | 17:53 |
| treker | agent_white: tar cvpzf backup`date +"%m_%d_%Y"`.tgz /backups --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / the c flag is just for create an archive? I want with this command add so the tar ball places on another location | 17:55 |
| cabel | Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that's the case "this only works to reinstall to MBR of a working system" | 17:55 |
| cabel | I don't have an mbr or a working ubuntu system | 17:55 |
| treker | agent_white: I run the script in a directory and wants it to be in /backups | 17:55 |
| Paddy_NI | I have ssh access to my tower pc which is upstairs sitting at the login screen (Ubuntu 14.10). As I am being lazy is there any way I can have it login so that I done have to go upstairs? | 17:55 |
| EriC^^ | cabel: of course it assumes you're booting something with grub.. | 17:56 |
| Paddy_NI | VNC used to be an option before it got b0rked on Ubuntu 14.04 | 17:56 |
| Pantsu | Paddy_NI: uhm, ssh does log in | 17:56 |
| Pantsu | that is the whole point of it | 17:56 |
| EriC^^ | cabel: in your case it would be Android_x86 , assuming the same procedure of installing grub can be applied ( mounting the filesystems, virtual fs, chrooting and installing grub ) | 17:56 |
| Pantsu | don't have to be logged locally on the remote machine before you ssh in | 17:57 |
| genii | cabel: You probably want instead something like the Super Grub Disk | 17:57 |
| EriC^^ | cabel: dont know dude, give it a shot, you're talking about installing grub to a phone or what here? | 17:57 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, Oh yes I know but it does not allow you to initiate vpn connections or start Transmission on the remote comp so that I can use "transmission remote" on this laptop to access it | 17:57 |
| agent_white | treker: Yes, -c creates. Why don't you try it out and see what happens? | 17:57 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, Well aware of that | 17:57 |
| Pantsu | uhm wrong? | 17:58 |
| Pantsu | you can start transmission just fine on the remote | 17:58 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, Yes but not the vpn | 17:58 |
| Pantsu | same with openvpn and whatever | 17:58 |
| OerHeks | Paddy_NI, let that tower autologin? so you have to go upstairs one time | 17:58 |
| cabel | I'm just trying to dual boot a 2 in 1 PC that came pre-loaded with windows 8 and I installed android-x86 to it | 17:58 |
| treker | agent_white: but I already have the cvpzf switches :/ | 17:58 |

| agent_white | Paddy_NI: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin | 17:58 |
| agent_white | Paddy_NI: You need to remove the password from the keyring. | 17:59 |
| Pantsu | Paddy_NI: 2 factor | 17:59 |
| EriC^^ | cabel: i think it should work then, if you can chroot into the installation, then install grub there using it's package manager or .. | 17:59 |
| agent_white | treker: Correct! | 17:59 |
| siente | Hello guys, how to install gnome on ubuntu 14.04 lts? | 17:59 |

| agent_white | treker: That is fine! :) It looks OK to me. What happens when you run it? | 17:59 |
| Pantsu | Paddy_NI: or you can do fun things with pam | 17:59 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, The keyring storing the VPN credentials unlocks when you graphically login | 17:59 |

| treker | agent_white: the command works fine I am wondering if there is a way to specifu in tar where I want the tar ball to be saved. Right now it is saved in the same driectory where I have the script | 18:02 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, And is your method for starting transmission remotely involving "export DISPLAY:0" by chance? | 18:02 |
| Pantsu | you can use pam to unlock/start the gnome keyring | 18:02 |
| Pantsu | Paddy_NI: no | 18:03 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, Cool | 18:03 |
| Pantsu | Paddy_NI: transmission have a server/client architecture | 18:03 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, I have the cli client installed also | 18:03 |
| Pantsu | you just run the deamon on the remote and controll it using transmission-cli or transmission-web | 18:03 |
| Paddy_NI | Pantsu, I like this :-) | 18:03 |
| newuser_ | saving page source is not working | 18:03 |

| quackgyver | Can someone explain why so-called "Chrome apps" end up in the Ubuntu launcher bar? I thought Chrome apps were supposed to run from within Chrome, but they seem to behave like native apps? | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | I'm not big on Chrome | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | so this confuses me | 18:12 |
| quackgyver | can someone explain? | 18:12 |

| treker | agent_white: just dont want to use the mv command all the time, never understand how to save the tar ball in another directory | 18:13 |
| newuser_ | EriC^^: you there ? | 18:14 |
| pbx | how can i see what passwords have been stored for the wifi routers i use? i can't find them in Password & Keys... running 14.04 FWIW | 18:15 |
| agent_white | treker: `tar cvpzf /path/to/backup`date...`.tgz | 18:16 |
| agent_white | treker: Include the full path in the name of the tarball. | 18:16 |
| Bashing-om | pbx: I look in the router's set up page to find what I have set for a password . | 18:16 |
| agent_white | quackgyver: `~/.local/share/applications/` -- in that folder, shortcuts should be labeled "chrome-*.desktop" | 18:17 |
| quackgyver | agent_white: well why do they appear as desktop apps at all? | 18:18 |
| quackgyver | is this a standard thing with chrome or what | 18:18 |
| === __Trullo is now known as _Trullo | ||
| agent_white | quackgyver: Check out /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop, there should be settings in there like "desktop entry", etc... just commend them out. | 18:19 |
| agent_white | quackgyver: As to why? God knows. ;) It's annoying though. | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | well i like it | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | im just trying to understand it | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | exactly what chrome apps are | 18:19 |
| agent_white | quackgyver: Oh! Well then nice! :) | 18:19 |
| k1l_ | quackgyver: its called "webapps". you can shut them down in the systemsettings or unity-tweak-tool | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | and whether it happens on other systems | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | k1l_: okay | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | so where else are they supposed to show up | 18:19 |
| quackgyver | by default | 18:20 |
| quackgyver | in most systems | 18:20 |
| quackgyver | inside chrome? | 18:20 |
| agent_white | quackgyver: Chrome isn't always fully killed when you close it, so the icons can lingeras well. | 18:20 |
| quackgyver | also, is "webapps" some kind of standards thing | 18:20 |
| ObrienDave | good question. seems they open chrome to run anyway | 18:20 |

| pbx | i may be Doing It Wrong | 18:30 |
| agent_white | Check there | 18:30 |
| * pbx checks there | 18:30 | |
| OEP | mbcx2: if you can use iperf to test how your local net performs that might be helpful to diagnose | 18:30 |
| agent_white | Though, it should not be storing it in cleartext... that is a GOOD thing it does not. | 18:30 |
| pbx | agent_white, ha, yes, it's there in cleartext, though only rw by root. thanks much | 18:31 |
| agent_white | pbx: Cheers. Make sure if you want it hidden, to uncheck "all users can connect to this network" in the wifi channel's options. | 18:31 |
| mbcx2 | I have no idea how to use iperf, this is the only computer I have installed linux currently working too. | 18:32 |

| === clabruno is now known as razorsharph | ||
| jirido | jatt: yes but i like to edit with leafpad or sublime and brows with my filemanager | 19:16 |
| agent_white | krom3: So in the browser urlbar, holding ctrl or alt gives you that same capslock ability as shift? | 19:16 |
| krom3 | agent_white: Correct, and in terminal as well. | 19:17 |
| jirido | Is there way to get a popup when im saving and "it" needs authorisation? | 19:17 |
| agent_white | krom3: Alrighty. Have you checked settings inside System-Preferences-Keyboard-Layouts-Layout Options ? | 19:17 |
| krom3 | agent_white: Yeah, I've tried messing with a few but I couldn't find anything that helped. | 19:18 |

| agent_white | krom3: Me too, but I just compared my xmodmap to yours and looked up wtf ISO_Level3 meant ;)) | 19:47 |
| ioria | krom3: try add 'clear Control ' and 'add Control = Control_L Control_R' in xmodmap | 19:48 |

| sha1sum | (actually, refurbished "brand new" which kind of has me worried lol) | 19:52 |
| agent_white | krom3: `xmodmap -e clear mod1`` | 19:53 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: Is there something I can use from the live cd? The main system won't stay booted long enough for me to do anything. | 19:53 |
| sha1sum | I'm getting smartctl not found from the livecd | 19:53 |
| agent_white | krom3: `xmodmap -e add mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R Meta_L | 19:53 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: My guess would be a loose wire getting intermittently disconnected. Hopefully the smart status will keep a history of that type of problem but I'm not sure it would. | 19:53 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: That exact command will work fine from a LiveCD. | 19:54 |

| sha1sum | daftykins, Jordan_U: OK, I'll go ahead and open it up :) | 19:55 |

| Jordan_U | sha1sum: Don't void your warranty though. | 19:55 |
| daftykins | sha1sum: don't forget to pull the mains power + battery! | 19:55 |

| I-am-Groot | Hello | 20:02 |
| I-am-Groot | I am having some problems with my ubuntu 14.04 installation | 20:02 |
| krom3 | agent_white: But xmodmap outputs "mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0xcc)" | 20:03 |
| agent_white | krom3: Check that opcode in .Xmodmap... number 118. | 20:03 |
| I-am-Groot | Before tuesday, i had ubuntu 14.04 running on a 19gb partition on my HDD | 20:03 |
| I-am-Groot | But it got filled up and i wanted more space but didnt want to loose my apps and settings | 20:04 |
| krom3 | agent_white: It's Insert NoSymbol Insert | 20:04 |
| agent_white | krom3: Yeah that's wrong, two keys assigned to Alt_L | 20:04 |
| agent_white | krom3: `xmodmap -e clear mod1` | 20:04 |
| I-am-Groot | so i did some digging and found out that i could backup anything in my "/" folder by using a rar command | 20:04 |
| sha1sum | daftykins: this MSI support rep just said "as long as you don't do any physical damage it won't void your warranty"... Not sure if I should trust him or the sticker more lol | 20:05 |
| krom3 | agent_white: alright, it's cleared again. | 20:05 |
| daftykins | sha1sum: never go by spoken word, you need something official in writing to go against things like that | 20:05 |
| I-am-Groot | Is anyone following?? | 20:05 |

| daftykins | sha1sum: but honestly with something new... i'd just send it back i think. | 20:05 |
| agent_white | krom3: `clear mod1; add mod1 = Alt_L Meta_L` to .Xmodmap at the bottom. Then run `xmodmap modmap` | 20:06 |
| daftykins | tonio: they'll help you in #vbox - this has nothing to do with Ubuntu, sorry. | 20:06 |
| tonio | in #vbox there is nobody | 20:06 |
| daftykins | maybe it's ## | 20:07 |
| sha1sum | daftykins: good point. I may just do an exchange. They don't support Linux though so I'd have to throw windows back on it. | 20:07 |
| I-am-Groot | Of course not | 20:07 |

| Jordan_U | I-am-Groot: I wouldn't trust any backup and restore of system files done with rar. Rar is not a tool whose intended use is to reliably preserve things like *NIX permissions and attributes. If you really used rar to restore all of the files in '/'. then I would say that your only sane solution for getting a system I would trust is to re-install. For future reference, "tar" is the canonical command to use for such backup ... | 20:18 |
| Jordan_U | ... and restore purposes. | 20:18 |
| sha1sum | You know what sucks? When you wait 6 days for your new box to be shipped, then you just have to turn around and ship it back to the reseller for repair and then wait for the repair and wait for it to be shipped back. I NEED A DRINK | 20:19 |
| I-am-Groot | jordan_U: this is the name of the backup file... backup.tgz | 20:19 |
| I-am-Groot | i am beginning to think its not rar | 20:20 |
| Jordan_U | I-am-Groot: Then you didn't use rar, you used tar. What is the exact command you used to make your backup? What is the exact command you used to restore? | 20:20 |
| I-am-Groot | Backup command: tar cvpzf "/media/mickey/New Volume/Ubuntu-setups/bk/backup.tgz" --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / | 20:21 |

| DJones | control_: Why did you ask on how to install kali linux, we have no idea about that, Ubuntu installation instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 20:31 |
| I-am-Groot | But i have a windows 8 installation and it works perfectly | 20:31 |
| Jordan_U | I-am-Groot: Please try that. There is no simple way to "restore" permissions and attributes of all system files in Ubuntu, and it's not clear that that is the problem anyway. | 20:32 |
| I-am-Groot | To add to my list of problems, when booting up ubuntu, right after the ubuntu boot boot animation and before the lock screen , an error flashes | 20:33 |

| I-am-Groot | let me reboot and try to see if i am able to catch it | 20:35 |
| I-am-Groot | Okay am back | 20:40 |

| I-am-Groot | It only seems to show up when i do a complete shutdown and turn the pc back on by pressing the power button | 20:45 |

| OerHeks | I-am-Groot, that would be fixed then | 20:46 |
| I-am-Groot | OerHeks: Sorry i didnt get you | 20:47 |

| OerHeks | I-am-Groot, if you shutdown like that, no filesystem likes that. so if you have rebooted, and that error does not come back, what can we do? seems like it is fixed. | 20:48 |
| OerHeks | I-am-Groot, but you started with an other issue, 19gb and no space left, shouldn't you focus on that | 20:49 |

| I-am-Groot | OerHeks: with my 19gb problem, i made a backup with tar using the comand::"tar cvpzf "/media/mickey/New Volume/Ubuntu-setups/bk/backup.tgz" --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /" for backing up and the command::"tar xvpfz backup.tgz -C /" for restore. After restoring i lost grub so i used a certain grub fixing program to fix by booting up ubuntu using a live cd. But now my internet speed has gotten real | 20:53 |
| I-am-Groot | slow and that error keeps popping up at boot. | 20:53 |
| Jordan_U | studentttu: Try it from a LiveUSB and see how well it works for your specific machine. | 20:54 |
| solar_sea | I screwed up my boot partition. It was only 128mb and an aptitude upgrade failed leaving it full. I cleaned it all and tried to remove all linux-image-* packages - with the idea to reinstall the kernel after that | 20:55 |
| solar_sea | however I'm stuck with linux-image-extra-3.13.0-40|43|45-generic that won't apt-get remove cleanly because their scripts expect to read content from boot that is already gone | 20:55 |
| solar_sea | how can I force-remove them from dpkg tracking ? | 20:56 |
| studentttu | Jordan_U: im getting a MBA from work tomorrow, and last fall I had one I had all those problems. So maybe ill just run ubuntu in a virtual machine if the issues still remain | 20:57 |

| hardtail | dafty you are too funny man anyways back to helping people | 21:24 |
| valleydaddy78 | i dont have a usb device | 21:24 |
| radiance_ | Or can I write a script to store the actual brightness value in a file at shutdown and execute another script at startup that will read the last written value of actual brightness and set the brightness to that value? | 21:25 |
| daftykins | valleydaddy78: ok, so run "lspci" again because there is a device there with 'network' or 'ethernet' beside it and you missed it first time. | 21:25 |

| t-dubs | Ypu know what I mean? | 21:53 |
| daftykins | t-dubs: just rephrase your question saying what's happening | 21:53 |
| t-dubs | OK | 21:53 |
| t-dubs | So.. everytime I either click on the software center icon or attempt to run it via terminal, it starts, and then, a few seconds later, closes | 21:54 |
| t-dubs | Without me ever being able to search it. | 21:54 |
| t-dubs | And, I can't find a tge program name, so using apt-get install "program" wont worj | 21:55 |
| t-dubs | work* | 21:55 |

| daftykins | that's the CLI way. | 21:55 |
| t-dubs | ok | 21:55 |
| t-dubs | w/ or w/o the carrats, dafty? | 21:56 |
| daftykins | t-dubs: without | 21:57 |
| daftykins | e.g. "apt-cache search irc" might show IRC clients | 21:57 |
| t-dubs | ok | 21:57 |
| t-dubs | Nothing happns when I do that, daftykins | 21:58 |
| t-dubs | It just goes righ tback tosaying ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 21:59 |
| daftykins | t-dubs: did you "sudo apt-get update" first ? | 21:59 |
| t-dubs | no.. | 21:59 |
| daftykins | if it gives you none, it means your search was too specific | 21:59 |
| t-dubs | OK, I didn't know I had to do that | 21:59 |
| t-dubs | lol | 22:00 |
| t-dubs | whoah!! | 22:00 |
| t-dubs | OK, so my search now yields something@ | 22:01 |

| Tausen | Jordan_U, oooh, I've been spamming -Y this whole time. Thanks a bunch! | 22:19 |

| t-dubs | ?? | 22:21 |
| t-dubs | @Jordan_U: I think it's live | 22:22 |
| t-dubs | It6's a ;ive session.. | 22:22 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: Add the kernel parameter "toram" at boot to load the entire contents of the squashfs into ram, which will allow you to remove the media you booted from. | 22:22 |
| t-dubs | OK Jordan, I don't know how to do that. | 22:22 |
| t-dubs | @Jordan_U: I just recently began using ubuntu. and ,getting windows 8.1 to load at a;l was quite an accomploshment!! | 22:24 |
| k1l_ | t-dubs: seems like grive and grive-tools can do that | 22:24 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: Do you know if your computer uses UEFI or BIOS? | 22:25 |
| t-dubs | It u8ses UEFI | 22:27 |
| t-dubs | Why? | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: Are you currently booted into the Live session? | 22:27 |
| t-dubs | Yes, I am. | 22:27 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: Because for live systems a different bootloader is used depending on if you're booted via UEFI or via BIOS. | 22:28 |
| t-dubs | I only could use UEFI, cause it's windows 8 | 22:28 |
| t-dubs | I do0n;'t know why, just that it's true lol | 22:28 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: OK, then let me walk you through adding an option to the boot menu that will allow you to load everything into RAM and remove the USB drive. | 22:28 |

| arooni-mobile | cjenkin1, where do i see audio manager | 22:54 |
| cjenkin1 | arooni-mobile, If you have a toolbar with a sound manager, click it and then go to "Sound Settings" | 22:54 |
| arooni-mobile | cjenkin1, i have headphones [plugged in now and i just see speakers as an output option | 22:55 |
| cjenkin1 | I think. I'm using Xubuntu, it should be mostly similar though (the sound system is Pulseaudio) | 22:55 |
| cjenkin1 | Hmm, interesting | 22:55 |
| NetworkingPro | hey everyone | 22:56 |
| cjenkin1 | arooni-mobile, Maybe one of these will help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132440/headphone-jack-not-working | 22:56 |
| NetworkingPro | wantong to check my work.. i want to issue a command to add a host file entry, it would be "echo '172.42.47.75 whatever.mydomain.com' >> /etc/hosts"? | 22:57 |
| sloth | you kwon is there is a new lib called lirc ?? | 22:58 |
| Jordan_U | t-dubs: I'm going to be away for about an hour. | 22:58 |
| yoda | I know most ide's can compare whole directories but not sure about comparing contents of an archive without having a person extract it first... this makes it in the cases for me to have to search for differences in archvied | 22:59 |
| jhutchins | yoda: Was that a question? | 23:01 |
| sloth | you kwon is there is a new lib called lirc ?? | 23:01 |
| jhutchins | bynarie: apache and nginx can both proxy. | 23:01 |
| t-dubs | thaqt;s cool, jordan | 23:02 |
| t-dubs | So, can anyone help me out? | 23:02 |
| k1l_ | sloth: this is technical ubuntu support. do you have a specific ubuntu issue? | 23:03 |
| t-dubs | Actually, I'll just wait for Jordan_U | 23:03 |
| t-dubs | lol | 23:03 |
| sloth | k1l_: yes, a personal lib with the same name | 23:04 |
| yoda | is there any good GUI diff programs that can analysis not only between contents of 2 folders but contents of to archived/compressed folders one for linux and one for windows (possible also for mac though not to concerned about it now) something as good as IDE have or winmerge/diff programs do for binary or text files/folders | 23:05 |
| k1l_ | sloth: can you rephrase? | 23:05 |
| yoda | but for compressed formats like | 23:05 |
| k1l_ | !details | sloth | 23:05 |
| ubottu | sloth: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 23:05 |
| yoda | tar , tar.gz,bz,xz or zip,rar,cab file format | 23:06 |
| yoda | need all of these format support or at least the linux/unix ones | 23:07 |
| yoda | anybody know of any tool that supports this | 23:07 |
| yoda | i don't have a problem unziping/decompressing a few and comparing but i am comparing a ton of archives i have | 23:08 |
| yoda | that is why the question | 23:08 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, I'm not aware of any software that does that without decompressing the contents in the first place | 23:09 |
| yoda | well i don't care if it is an automated process in the application that creates tmp spaces and uses the tmp spaces then destroies it i just didn\t want to be unzipping these manual with tar ,gz , and rm all the time something that the software would take care of the extracting/clean up | 23:13 |
| yoda | though i am sure if it comes down to it onxes i get all these archives where i want them i can write a simple atomization script | 23:14 |
| yoda | sorry for the spelling though it would have been nice if an application did this | 23:14 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, There's this proprietary software. I've never used it, and I'm not vouching for it, but it looks like it might do what you want: http://www.scootersoftware.com/features.php?zz=features_focused | 23:15 |
| yoda | itself .. maybe if i get around to it i will add the function into one of my local copies of a gui difference program winmerge is GLP so maybe i could get the sources for that | 23:16 |
| yoda | is it free | 23:16 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, Nope | 23:16 |
| yoda | to download and not a trial expiration version | 23:16 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, Ah, there's a pro and standard | 23:16 |
| yoda | then i rather write it my self | 23:17 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, That's the spirit | 23:17 |
| cjenkin1 | yoda, Oh, the download page "beyond compare" seems to have a free download | 23:17 |
| t-dubs | OK, can anyone help me load all of ubuntu into ram? | 23:19 |
| t-dubs | At startup?? | 23:19 |
| cjenkin1 | t-dubs, Sure - use a live image all the time :) | 23:19 |
| cjenkin1 | There's probably a way to have it be persistent | 23:19 |
| kastan | does anyone now of a good channel to help with rooting an android device? | 23:20 |
| yoda | first learn how to debug,analysis , add code/program/software engineering skills, then know how everbody wrote there programs , then do what ever you want with any software as long as you don't harm other people stuff you have complete control of everything locally | 23:20 |
| yoda | and thats what i am after complete knowledge understanding and ability to do anything i want with a computer mostly for either good, or for fun locally | 23:21 |
| t-dubs | OK, ut Jordan wasgoing to walkj me through something "fairly technical",n and now, he's gone.. | 23:24 |
| t-dubs | but* Jordan | 23:24 |
| kastan | i forgot my su password or root access password does anyone know how i might go about recovering it | 23:24 |
| k1l_ | kastan: you dont have a root password on ubuntu. you use sudo with your users password | 23:24 |
| k1l_ | kastan: ah wait, if its about android then better ask in ##android | 23:25 |
| kastan | at the moment im trying to get java 7 installed and running on firefox | 23:25 |
| zege | kastan did u try sudo passwd ? | 23:30 |
| k1l_ | zege: dont do this | 23:31 |
| zege | k1l_: when he really lost his _root_ password, he definitly should do that. | 23:32 |
| kastan | zege: thank you | 23:32 |
| k1l_ | zege: he didnt lost his root pw. ubuntu doesnt have a root pw as standard. | 23:32 |
| zege | k1l_: I know. What did not stop me from giving my system a root pass. | 23:33 |
| k1l_ | this is the ubuntu channel so we stick to the ubuntu way | 23:33 |
| OerHeks | !root | 23:33 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:33 |
| kastan | i changed the root password now my new password gives me root access | 23:33 |
| k1l_ | and i know there are lots of linux gurus who know how to master root. but its ubuntu and this is a beginners channel: ubuntu way | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | you didn't change the root password :-) | 23:34 |
| zege | k1l_: I know. | 23:34 |
| k1l_ | zege: so you made a user setup a root password..... | 23:35 |
| zege | kastan: but you _should_ use sudo to perfom root tasks. | 23:35 |
| k1l_ | *sigh* | 23:35 |
| kastan | zege: ok thank you again | 23:35 |
| zege | k1l_: He sayed hed lost his _root_ passwd. When he can perform sudo he clearly did not lose his user passwd. | 23:35 |
| zege | and btw you can just google how to set up a root pass on ubuntu, so i'm not trying to stop people from creating a root pass. | 23:37 |
| k1l_ | zege: that is a known issue when people read howtos from other distris or come from other distris. like we explained you now several times: ubuntu doesnt have a root password. | 23:37 |
| OerHeks | zege, you should, whenhelping in this channel. | 23:37 |
| k1l_ | because its setup to use sudo instead. if you dont want to do that: ok. but dont tell beginners in here to setup a rootpassword. | 23:37 |
| zege | No more discussion on that. Bye | 23:38 |
| kastan | k1l: i apologize again when i was reading a how to install java script | 23:38 |
| kastan | in said i needed root access | 23:38 |
| k1l_ | kastan: that is why we told you to use sudo. we know there are a lot of bad howtos. but its your responibility now. | 23:39 |
| kastan | k1l_: Ok thank you again | 23:39 |
| computerquip | Hi... Trying to install WinUSB from a package for Saucy... apparently, the package manager GUI is stuck at "Applying changes" | 23:43 |
| computerquip | Has been doing this for nearly 10 minutes now... | 23:43 |
| computerquip | Not even sure what to do. Seems a tad broken. | 23:43 |
| kastan | computerquip: maybe end the task and try again? | 23:44 |
| computerquip | Will that screw up my filesystem or confuse the package manager? | 23:44 |
| kastan | computerquip: it shouldn't | 23:45 |
| === ata is now known as Guest31248 | ||
| computerquip | Also, why can the GUI not handle this? | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | aborting packagemanager should not bork your system. happend to me sometimes, after aborting, the package was installed anyway. | 23:47 |
| kastan | computerquip: my best guess is that its either an outdated package manager | 23:48 |
| computerquip | No... 14.10 fully updated and fresh install... | 23:48 |
| kastan | computerquip: hmm could be a flook try again and let us no what happened | 23:49 |
| computerquip | Okay, apparently closing and starting the package manager results in the same thing. | 23:49 |
| computerquip | This time at least it's responding and not declared frozen. | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | err winusb for saucy on 14.10 utopic ? | 23:50 |
| computerquip | Yes. PM should be able to handle it correct? | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | it is not in the repo's so how do we tell? | 23:51 |
| computerquip | I don't get your point. | 23:51 |
| OerHeks | packages outside the repos are not supported here. | 23:52 |
| computerquip | Okay, so freezing and segfaulting package manager is okay? | 23:52 |
| computerquip | Even with an older package, that's not acceptable. | 23:52 |
| computerquip | I'm not asking about the package, I'm asking as to why I'm getting the behavior with the package manager. | 23:53 |
| OerHeks | That is your opinion, we do not know what is going on, haven't tested it. | 23:53 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| computerquip | You cannot be serious OerHeks. Should I consider you a troll? | 23:54 |
| computerquip | If a package isn't supported, the package manager should be able to simply reject the package. | 23:54 |
| computerquip | Not give ridiculously obscured behavior that confuses anyone who would use it. | 23:55 |
| OerHeks | If you open a downloaded .deb, it will open in softwarecenter, and ask you if you trust it from unknown source, right? | 23:55 |
| computerquip | Correct. It assumes that you trust that the package won't place files that you don't want. | 23:56 |
| EriC^^ | computerquip: use dpkg -i to install it in the terminal and you might see the error | 23:56 |
| daftykins | computerquip: OerHeks is one of the channels well trusted regular volunteers, i suggest you show some respect here. | 23:56 |
| EriC^^ | ^+1 | 23:56 |
| computerquip | Right, so your long time trusted volunteer apparently tells users instability is normal and okay. | 23:57 |
| OerHeks | if the install gives errors, use: sudo apt-get -f install >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/489546/installing-winusb-on-ubuntu-14-04 | 23:58 |
| computerquip | Then refutes any reasoning against it with "that's your opinion". | 23:58 |
| OerHeks | its a saucy package, not updated since 2013 ... | 23:58 |
| daftykins | computerquip: you appear to be the one that is trying to use EOL and thus unsupported software. The fault here lies with your choices. | 23:58 |
| computerquip | Then why doesn't the package manager just tell me that it won't accept it? | 23:59 |
| computerquip | Do you not see the problem? Really? | 23:59 |
