k1l_the package manager accepts any .deb package you install. a computer is a dumb machine. you still need to think yourself00:00
OerHeksAs the packagemanager cannot confirm it will install, it asks you that question.00:00
EriC^^do you think we are ubuntu developers and in particular the software manager department?00:00
computerquipEriC^^, I never even claimed as such.00:00
EriC^^computerquip: you're questions wrap around that00:01

computerquipNo it doesn't.00:01

cluelesspersonI'm very suddenly having a problem with ubuntu for apparently no reason.  It was stuck at GRUB, no countdown, and now I have a blinking cursor00:11
cluelesspersonwon't bootup00:11
rpp601what would be better? An intel core2 duo @ 1.86ghz or a pentium 4 @ 3.2ghz?00:12
daftykinscluelessperson: reset, hold down left shift, try picking an older kernel00:12
daftykinsrpp601: c2d00:12
EriC^^cluelessperson: you don't get grub anymore?00:12
=== idleone_ is now known as io
rpp601daftykins: for gaming as well?00:12
daftykinsrpp601: yep00:12
OerHeksp4 is single core.00:12
rpp601daftykins: i thought so, thx00:12
geniiCheck to see that there are not stray USB sticks or other possible boot things attached00:12
cluelesspersonEriC^^: I did, but I had to hit enter, it's supposed to boot auto  . wtf is it suddenly screwing up for00:12
k1l_rpp601: dont think of gaming with that old cpus :)00:12
rpp601OerHeks: i know but i had to ask because 1.86 vs 3.2ghz was such a big differenc3400:13
cluelesspersondaftykins:   I did, now it said  "busybox" ubuntu built in shell (initramfs)00:13
rpp601k1l_: i'm poor :) i'm talking older games here00:13
cluelesspersonblinking cursor00:13
OerHeksrpp601, multimedia wants a 2nd core ..00:13
EriC^^cluelessperson: check what genii said00:13
daftykins^00:13
cluelesspersongenii: There are none00:13
daftykinsrpp601: yeah, clock speed is a measure of opportunity - not guaranteed action :) so very far apart hardware timewise there, they cannot be compared by clock speed00:14
EriC^^cluelessperson: did you try a different kernel maybe?00:14
cluelesspersonEriC^^: No, I was running some production stuff off this and at the very least need to retrieve the database off it00:14
cluelesspersonThis has been running for weeks, I don't understand why it just fucks up now for no reason00:15
EriC^^!language00:15
ubottuThe main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList00:15
rpp601daftykins, OerHeks, i'm going get this up to 3gb ram and try and run an older call of duty. it has an nvidia card in it.00:15
daftykinsrpp601: which nvidia card? i don't know about games such as COD under Linux, so not sure how wise that is00:15
EriC^^cluelessperson: try an older kernel00:16
cluelesspersonEriC^^: I don't know how.  I'm not a sysadmin00:16
EriC^^it could be a newer kernel was installed, which caused update-grub to update and revert any manual changes that were made00:16
kastanhow would i go about updateing wine00:16
cluelesspersonWhy would this one just break00:17
daftykinskastan: what is "dpkg -l | grep wine" ?00:17
rpp601daftykins: i was going to put xp on it for the games, the card is a GeForce 7300, LE. So i'd be the C2Duo, 3gb, and the 128mb 7300. I'm hoping for like call of duty 2 or 3 ish.00:17
nicomachuskastan: should update with the rest of your software in the update manager.00:17
cluelesspersonEriC^^: I don't know how to revert00:17
daftykinsrpp601: is there a reason you're dealing with museum pieces? :)00:17
EriC^^cluelessperson: i dont know, it might be it, when grub comes, go to advanced and pick an older kernel00:17
kastanok thank you00:18
kastanwhats wines limitations00:18
rpp601daftykins: yes lol. i have no cash to spend on PC's so i deal in donations only. :-/00:18
rpp601daftykins: it's sad i know.00:18
daftykinskastan: no you have to run the above command as a step in finding out if your wine is out of date.00:18
kastanim having trouble opening the most basic exe packages00:18
geniicluelessperson: There might be something attached which is causing the issue. If I leave an sdcard in the reader of my laptop for instance, I get the identical behaviour you described00:18
kastanso after i run the command how would i update it to the newest version?00:19
cluelesspersongenii:   Nothing is attached except network cable.  It sits in my cubicle cabinet00:19
nicomachuskastan: if you run the command that daftykins gave you, it will tell the current version.00:19
nicomachuskastan: then you can see if you need to update or if it's something else.00:19
daftykinskastan: one step at a time. show me the answer than we can proceed00:20
geniicluelessperson: Were the drives recently moved around in the computer?00:20
kastanim running 1.6.2 and that is not the current version00:20
cluelesspersongenii:   No, this has been sitting in there for weeks untouched, I just came in today and its down00:20
daftykinskastan: which ubuntu are you on? "cat /etc/issue"00:20

designbybeck_Could it be the case that some laptops, 6-8 years old are to old for 14.04? and need 12.04 instead???00:22
cluelesspersongenii: Highly doubt that.00:22
daftykinskastan: what about "lsb_release -a" ?00:22
rpp601nicomachus: lol i know the feeling.00:23
k1l_designbybeck_: no00:23
geniicluelessperson: Are you able to get into the BIOS ? It might be good to enable in there SMART monitoring and then see if during boot it reports that the drive is beginning to fail00:23
nicomachusrpp601: 1TB HDD is on the way, though!00:23
k1l_designbybeck_: you might want to look at Lubuntu for old and low hardware00:23
rpp601nicomachus: me too actually! just ordered one00:23
nicomachustrying to decide the best way to destroy the worthless 80gb00:23
cluelesspersongenii: Drive beginning to fail wouldn't cause it to just not boot like this00:23

geniicluelessperson: If bad sectors are where it's supposed to begin the loading the OS, yes00:24
EriC^^cluelessperson: maybe somebody had manually edited grub to boot a certain disk, and when the kernel updated that caused grub to revert the changes, so now the timeout is set and it can't find the disks either00:24

geniicluelessperson: Does this thing have a DVD or CD drive it can boot from? Might want to boot to a livecd and investigate from there00:24

daftykinskastan: go chat with the team over in #winehq for why your programs might not be working00:25
kastandafykins: ok thank you00:25
userdoes anyone know about networking00:25
nicomachususer: be more specific00:26
daftykinsuser: they love it in ##networking00:26
geniicluelessperson: At any rate, whether the drive is bad or still good, booting to a livecd allows investigating the problem further to narrow down the exact issue00:26
geniicluelessperson: Additionally, GRUB can be reinstalled from there00:26
userwhy do i need to unplug router every day to get net back00:26
daftykinscluelessperson: 30 seconds to boot a live session and pastebin smartctl's output to check the disk, then you can resume your original idea :)00:27
designbybeck_I'm downloading Xubuntu12.04.5 and going to try that00:27
geniiuser: That might be a better question for the ##hardware channel00:27
userok thanks didnt know there was one00:27
nicomachususer: that is definitely a ##networking or ##hardware question. but it sounds like you have too many devices on one router. They'll be happy to help in ##networking or ##hardware00:27
usercan u have to many00:28
nicomachusYes.00:28
nicomachusdaftykins: didn't I get some help from you once with AMD drivers in 14.04?00:30
useri have same on it for few years. cant work out why need unplug every day00:30
nicomachususer: ask ##networking or ##hardware00:30
userhow i get that room mate00:30
nicomachustype /join ##networking or /join ##hardware00:31
geniiuser: I used to have a D-Link with same problem. Had to install openwrt on it eventually, it's own firmware had problems00:31
geniiuser: But regardless, since it is not an Ubuntu support question, you will get help better suited to your problem in the channels that have been mentioned to you00:32
useri have netgear running dgteam firmware or is official firmware better00:32
nicomachusOk, things have slowed down. I'm can't get the display to scale in the AMD Catalyst Controls. The option is just completely grayed out.00:33
nicomachusI've tried a few different things, but no luck.00:34
nicomachusI found a couple support articles, etc but they were for Windows.00:34
daftykinsnicomachus: possibly, there are so many helpees per day i forget though :)00:34

nicomachuswall not way00:39
daftykinsnicomachus: ah ok, had someone with said hardware the other day. now i was convinced my TV wasn't to blame for overscan issues too, but i dug through the menus deep enough one day to find it00:40
daftykinsnicomachus: although black bars around all 4 sides sounds like underscan :D so just the opposite almost00:40
nicomachusThere's only one option to correct overscan, and it gives 4 different menu options. none resolve.00:40
daftykinsnicomachus: fglrx or fglrx-updates ? repo or manual download?00:41
nicomachusand it's either overscan or underscan, depending on the settings. I just want to be able to use the scaling option so that I can scale it correct for the settings I want.00:41
daftykinsyeah most TVs just have a 1:1 setting though, then it's done00:41

KickassesIs it worth learning Ubuntu to learn red hat?00:42
nicomachustell me about it....00:42
daftykinsdoes it want to be run with gksu or something? maybe it wants to be so it can manipulate xorg.conf directly00:43
daftykinsKickasses: nope, you'd learn too much that'd be irrelevant00:43
EriC^^Kickasses: what's the end goal?00:43
nicomachusnope, tried that the other night.00:43
KickassesThanks guys00:43
nicomachussomeone on here came to the conclusion that alternatives weren't installed correctly with fglrx00:43
KickassesErm...end goal...to administer red hat networks00:43
daftykinsnicomachus: no ideas then, if it's a new enough card it might want manual downloads - but i'd pick through the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if there's a reason for it00:43
EriC^^Kickasses: centos and fedora are basically red hat00:43
nicomachusKickasses: just go straight to redhat.00:44
KickassesThanks Eric00:44

nicomachusunless someone else tells me I'm wrong.00:46
k1l_Goose_: you cant stay connected whe you go in suspend or standby. you will need to reconnect afterwards.00:46
nicomachusthere's an "autoconnect" option in the network manager, but it doesn't work.00:47
rpp601what about a cmd to show ram?00:47
Goose_Isn't there a 3rd party VPN autoconnect?00:47
k1l_rpp601: "free -m"00:47
nicomachusI remember there being a bug report about it soon after 14.04 came out.00:47
Goose_try glances, it shows everything00:47
daftykinsrpp601: cat /proc/meminfo or what k1l_ said00:47

ivan_on_tracAny hint or idea. How to maintain that Ubuntu is better.00:52
nicomachusGoose_: I had a bash on Windows that would disallow any network traffic until I connected the VPN, but it wouldn't autoconnect.00:52

taplaptapwhat is superkey? winkey01:11
phixtaplaptap: yes01:11
Jordan_Utaplaptap: The key that's wearing a cape.01:12
t-dubstaplaptap, yeah it is01:12
phixtaplaptap: but generic, non ms naming convention01:12
daftykinst-dubs: just run brasero, it's a GUI optical media writing program. dd is a bad suggestion01:12
taplaptapwinkey left+right, will open the taskbar and put numbers on the taskbar01:12
phixtaplaptap: wht?01:12
phixwhy?01:12
taplaptapi dunno, default ?01:12
phixwhat's the use case?01:12
taplaptapi want winkey+left to put 1 terminal 50% on the left, superkey+right, 50% on the right01:13
t-dubsbrasero will allow me to burn dvds, right? as opposed to data discs?01:13
OerHekst-dubs, open brasero, you will see it imediatly. pretty straight forward.01:14
geniit-dubs: Whatever you have to codecs installed for01:14
phixtaplaptap: ok01:14
emanuel_Hello. I have a problem, I'm using a laptop with a damaged screen as a print sever. I'm using Ubuntu as the OS. Today the laptop was hung at  a screen about moutnting problems and fter choosing F to fix it was able to boot.I assume this is because the system was not shut down properly before. Is there a guide on how to make the system read only so a poor shutdown won't cause file system corruption?01:14
t-dubsOK, thsnkd a lot, OerHeks!!01:14
t-dubsThanks to everyone currently in the room, too, for putting up with me, and all of my noob qhuestions and habits.01:15
phixemanuel_: it's a setting in /etc/fstab01:15
geniiemanuel_: I think the main problem would be if it can run CUPS or whatever you're using without using swap01:16
geniior /tmp01:16
emanuel_genii I'm using CUPS and some HP non Opensource driver.01:17
geniiemanuel_: You could test by temporarily mounting readonly, see if it makes problems or is fine. If fine, then do the fstab edit01:18
t-dubsSo.. i had to install a ton of stuff to brasero01:19
geniiemanuel_: eg: sudo mount -a -o remount,ro      ...then see if it complains. If not, then you're good to do it permanently in the fstab01:19
t-dubsand, it still won'y work01:20
t-dubsI can't burn the dvd.. it won't accept .mp401:20
emanuel_It looks like no error after entering the command,. Now to try and print01:20
t-dubsso.. can anyone help me with this?01:22
EriC^^t-dubs: did you try k3b01:23
t-dubsno..01:23
t-dubsi don't even know what that is.01:23
daftykinspretty sure t-dubs is after having this mp4 turned into a playable DVD film playable in players01:23
t-dubsyeah01:24
daftykinsthat's blatantly unlawful so i'm not gonna have a hand in that.01:24
t-dubswhat Daftykins said01:24
OerHeksinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras for all codecs and webplugins and you are fine01:24
daftykinst-dubs: please see freenode's policy on discussing unlawful actions and requests on this network01:24
kostkont-dubs, open the software centre, search for devede, create the iso then burn it on a dvd using your default burner app brasero01:24
t-dubsok, how does that work, or how do i do that?01:24
t-dubsi'm not doing anything unlawful, dafty!!01:25
t-dubsi own legit copies of these01:25
kostkont-dubs, forgot the "install devede" part01:25
daftykinshaven't heard that one before.01:25
EriC^^t-dubs: pu-lease01:25
t-dubseric01:26
t-dubsi do.01:26
t-dubsi have the dvds01:26
t-dubsbought and paid for01:26
daftykinsseriously, we are not 12, drop this now.01:26
geniiemanuel_: Were you able to print successfully with the print server mounts all in read-only?01:26
t-dubsfine01:27
emanuel_genii I sent a print job and it printed01:29
emanuel_I had to go to the other room01:29
omosojhi, i'm trying to set up my ubuntu vps to host a rails api01:30
omosoji don't know much about it. i followed a few tutorials and failed a lot...01:30
geniiemanuel_: If all went well then you are good to edit the /etc/fstab file and change them here to make it permanent01:30
omosojhow can i learn to do this well?01:30
Jordan_Ut-dubs: You will get better quality, along with getting all of the original DVD menus and options, if you simply copy your existing DVDs rather than re-making a DVD from a rip that has be recompressed (and will need to be recompressed a second time back to mpeg 2).01:31
* daftykins facepalms01:31
nicomachus^lol01:31
t-dubshow do i do that, jordan?01:32
emanuel_genii will you help me edit the /etc/fstab?01:33
t-dubsI have the DVDs sitting right here01:33
Jordan_Ut-dubs: Brasero has an option to make a disk image from a disk, which you can then burn. Another option is to copy the VIDEO_TS directory and burn it to another data DVD.01:33
t-dubsOK..01:34
t-dubsLet me see.. if i run into problems, i'll let you know, okm?01:34
geniiemanuel_: I am leaving shortly.  Basically, I would say: sudo nano /etc/fstab     ...for the / mount, go to after it says errors=remount-ro   and put a comma, then ro so it looks like: errors=remount-ro,ro    ... for any other mounts, where it says defaults change that to ro01:36
daftykinsJordan_U: may i PM?01:36
geniiemanuel_: To exit, ctrl-x , choose to save with same name by hitting enter key and it's done01:37
Jordan_Udaftykins: Yes.01:37
emanuel_genii, thank you. the only other mount is swap. I don't think (but don't know) if a poor shutdown will affect swap01:38
geniiemanuel_: emanuel_ You could also test running it without swap by issuing sudo swapoff       doing another print, etc. If it runs OK again you comment out the swap mount line in the fstab. If it gives errors then to leave it and do sudo swapon01:39
PiccoloHello all, can anyone help with extracting a tar ball?01:40
Piccoloplease01:40
nicomachuspiccolo: right click, select "extract"01:41
OerHeksPiccolo, double-click on it in filemanager, and it opens in fileroller, easy to unpack.01:41
emanuel_genii thanks. will try that01:41
Piccolocommand line?01:41
nicomachusoh01:41
geniiPiccolo: Depends on the extension if bzr or tar.gz or such01:41
PiccoloI have tried tar -xz but it hangs01:41
Piccolotar.gz01:41
Piccolohow do you check the integrity?01:42
daftykinsPiccolo: tar xvf file.tar01:42

FredTomhey, i can't open google chrome under 12.0401:48
cluelesspersonI'm getting an "Unable to access "246 GB Volume"  on the server01:48
FredTomhow can i debug?01:48
cluelesspersonfrom the livecd01:48
daftykinscluelessperson: do you feel like sharing some SMART output with us so we can see if there's any damage?01:50
daftykins"sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartmontools -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit"01:50
OerHeksFredTom, When google-chrome starts a session it creates some files under ~/.config/google-chrome ,  delete "SingletonLock", "SingletonCookie" and "SingletonSocket", and run google-chrome again.01:52
OerHeksFredTom, other cause: maybe there is an update too, run updatemanager01:53
cluelesspersongenjix:  Sigh, ass, you were right01:53
cluelesspersondaftykins:   Looks like a Read Error rate of 19101:54
daftykinscluelessperson: easy now, pastebin it - if it's seagate the read error rate value actually doesn't matter.01:54
OerHeksdaftykins, smart is part of 'disks' now :-)01:54
daftykinsOerHeks: it doesn't show the relevant data sadly01:54
OerHeksoh i c01:54
daftykinsjust a kinda generic "yay this is healthy" and often it claims that when a disk is toast01:55
cluelesspersonSELF TEST FAILED, DUN DUN DUN01:55
t-dubslol01:56
daftykinscluelessperson: seriously, there is no personally identifiable information within that command, sharing it is no biggy01:56
t-dubsthat's funny, cluelessperson01:56
cluelesspersondaftykins: I don't know what the command is and I'm on a liveboot01:56
daftykinscluelessperson: as above, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartmontools -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit"01:57

* cluelessperson sometimes shuts servers off so people will talk to him. xD02:05
daftykinscluelessperson: "sudo parted -l" to confirm what drive you're going to check, probably /dev/sda ? then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" should work fine *if* those two packages were installed first as per my commands02:05
FredTomah wrong channel02:05

cluelesspersondaftykins:  >.> yes.02:07
cluelesspersondaftykins:  during the night.  booted it, got stuck at grub, I had a previous install issue I thought it was the same.02:07
daftykinscluelessperson: yep, see line 72 - there are 27 pending sectors awaiting remap right now on that disk. it's about to fail big time, you need to backup and replace it immediately02:07
cluelesspersondaftykins:  I can't even mount it to backup just the database on it. >.<02:08
cluelesspersonit's a month's worth of data02:08
daftykinscluelessperson: does it have multiple partitions? "sudo parted -l | pastebinit"02:08
cluelesspersondaftykins:   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1019710702:09

daftykinshuh?02:10
cluelesspersondaftykins: yes.02:10
daftykinswhat was the complaint?02:10

emanuel_Help, I edited fstab to make my system read only and now Ican't reverse it. I'm trying sudo mount -o rw,remount / and sudo is failiong02:14
daftykinscluelessperson: hmm that's not good. so, if this data is seriously important, you're going to want to take it to another system for data recovery now. you would ideally image it up to another drive, or try and mount it using a backup superblock02:14
daftykinsemanuel_: is this from a live session?02:15
emanuel_daftykins: no from the os running on hard drive02:15
cluelesspersondaftykins: backup superblock?02:15
daftykinsemanuel_: why?02:15
cluelesspersondaftykins:   I just need the mysql files02:15
daftykinscluelessperson: yeah, but these methods risk the data you've got on the drive, so it depends how badly you want it02:15
emanuel_daftykins: long situation let me type...02:16
cluelesspersondaftykins:   My last backup was a month ago, let's ty02:16
daftykinscluelessperson: i found this - http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/recover-bad-superblock-from-corrupted-partition/02:16
cluelesspersondaftykins: let's try then, I'm eager to see what you're capable of pulling02:16
daftykinscluelessperson: it's really about the disk and not me, so i'm not responsible from here on out :D02:17
cluelesspersondaftykins: I fully understand.  Like I said, it's a month's worth of data, and two columns in mysql I'll have to readd02:17
cluelesspersondaftykins: daftykins Actually, I have a bunch of random CSVs saved that may make up for it02:18
daftykinscluelessperson: ah ok so no biggy? good stuff :>02:18
emanuel_daftykins: I have a laptop with a bad screen. I am using it as a print server. Due to impropper shutdowns the systen hunbg on bootup because it needed a disk check. I asked here about making it read only and after some testing it seemed to work so edited fstab. I rebooted and now printing didn't work. I googled how to mouint it read only and it failed but dmesg shows it did remount. I now was able to edit fstab and am rebooting the s02:18
cluelesspersondaftykins: yeah, have at it02:18
emanuel_daftykins: if /swap is not read only... I'm trying to girlfriend proof the system.02:18
daftykinscluelessperson: it's all in the above link then :)02:18
cluelesspersondaftykins: You say it may risk the data, will mounting via another superblock overwrite the data, or just damage the corruption further?02:18
cluelesspersonlike if it's a bad head, it'll get worse real quick02:19
PsychicVampireHey all02:19
PsychicVampireI was just at my psychiatrits office tonight.. and he had some awful virus02:19
daftykinscluelessperson: that's the risk you take ultimately yeah, even using the disk might just be damaging it further02:19
PsychicVampireon his win8.1 pc system.. it appears to be a network with only one server and he's got these host pcs02:19
PsychicVampirewhich do have physical hdds, but still rely on the server02:19
PsychicVampireanyway i cant recall the practice management software he uses exactly, i doubt it's natively released for linux02:20
cluelesspersondaftykins:  I get the error  "Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock" right off02:20
cluelesspersonfirst command02:20
PsychicVampirebut should i try to convince him to use Ubuntu and either run a VM or use WINE02:20
kxtwoHey guys, I just picked up an hp i3 laptop.  Wanted to throw ubuntu on there, just go with the most recent LTS as usual?02:20
Jordan_UPsychicVampire: Please gather all of the information relevant to your question and post it all as one message, on one line.02:20
PsychicVampireand if so, since the psychiatry managment software he uses relies on remote assistance for networking, can linux use that protocol or is it going to end up being a VM inside ubunut02:20
PsychicVampirewell that's everything, sorry i use a lot of lines.02:20
daftykinsemanuel_: what does "mount" report? file system / is read only?02:21
PsychicVampirekxtwo: Yes.02:21
PsychicVampirekxtwo: it's AMD 64 or Intel?02:21
kxtwoi3, intel02:21
kxtwowith windows 802:21
PsychicVampireOk, well the 64 bit build should work fine02:21
PsychicVampireYou should be able to dual-boot if you want.. boot from a live cd?02:21
kxtwodef as it has 6GB ram02:22
PsychicVampireAs long as your laptop came with an optical drive02:22
daftykinscluelessperson:  "sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sda1" ?02:22
emanuel_daftykins: it doesn't matter now I fixed it and am rebooting02:22
PsychicVampireOk nice kxtwo, it'll work just fine.. use the 64 bit one of course.02:22
kxtwoI also picked up an external drive, I am hoping I can partition this with a live cd but not sure02:22
kxtwomight have to just grab a flash drive02:22
PsychicVampirekxtwo: some still prefer to use older versions of Ubuntu, but the repositories aren't supported anymore just so you know02:22
cluelesspersondaftykins: command not found02:23
daftykinsPsychicVampire: with my respect, the fact that you are here to confirm whether it's a wise idea to move someone from Windows to Linux shows that you're not the right person for the job.02:23
PsychicVampireAye I'm jealous, my Toshiba C-55 has no optical drive and I have no USB stick so I've been using Win 8.1.. it's not terrible really, but a resoource hog, and I am paranoid about security.02:23
emanuel_Ugh why isn't sudo shutdown -r now rebooting the systen?02:23
PsychicVampiredaftykins: No offence taken.02:23
kxtwopsychic is there any reason I couldn't partition my external 1tb drive with a live cd image?02:23
PsychicVampirepsychic perhaps it was NTFS?02:23
PsychicVampiredid you try using gparted?02:24
=== rax-Y is now known as rax-
kxtwono I haven't tried anything yet, since it is usb I am thinking I can use the live cd creator app02:24
Jordan_UPsychicVampire: Honestly that doesn't sound like a good fit for Ubuntu to me. The normal advantage of malware being less common for Linux doesn't really apply once you install wine, especially when I would guess that the way they got malware on the machine in the first place was by being duped into running a trojan, which can be just as easily done via wine.02:24
daftykinscluelessperson: hmm hang on02:24
Jordan_UPsychicVampire: And the primary purpose of the machine seems to be to run a piece of Windows only software.02:25
PsychicVampireJordan_U: that's good to know, I didn't know WINE came with windows security risks as well, nevermind running a VM. is a VM actually more secure or less, or the same?02:25
daftykinscluelessperson: try this one - https://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/ but again, much risk02:25
PsychicVampireTrue Jordan_U, I really never liked setting up Linux systems just to get them to do what you want with Windows, with the same software ..02:25
emanuel_daftykins: how  can I force a reboot when shutdown -r now won't reboot it02:25
stef1ai just got a 2015 carbon x1 and am trying to install ubuntu. i'm on the UEFI page and UEFI/legacy boot - csm support says "UEFI only * Unselectable for Secure Boot". does this mean my computer does not have secureboot and so i don't need to disable it, or something else?02:25
PsychicVampirekxtwo:  try a gparted livecd if you can do a USB live that'd be fine too02:26
daftykinsemanuel_: if the file system is read only, who cares? reset that sucker02:26
cluelesspersonPsychicVampire:  what do you mean?02:26
PsychicVampiregparted is the boot-to program you wanna use for partitioning :)02:26
OerHekssudo reboot02:26
daftykinsstef1a: something else02:26
cluelesspersonPsychicVampire:   I like that linux can handle some things much more smoothly than windows02:26
emanuel_daftykins: because I was able as I said before to get it mounted rw after my initial post02:26
daftykinsstef1a: are you having trouble booting a flash drive?02:26
PsychicVampiredaftykins: you can also create a partition within win 8.1, right click the start menu and go to disk manager02:26
PsychicVampiremanagement*02:26
stef1adaftykins: i haven't tried yet. should i just try that first? (i've shrank my partition and disabled fastboot)02:26
daftykinsPsychicVampire: i am not talking about that topic. bad highlight.02:26
PsychicVampireOh sorry dafty02:27
Jordan_UPsychicVampire: Having a VM doesn't make anything inherently more secure. One nice advantage of a VM is that it's easier to take a snapshot and revert back to it after the user installs malware.02:27
daftykinsstef1a: you want to dualboot 8 and ubuntu?02:27
stef1adaftykins: for the moment, although i'll ultimately end up removing 8 entirely if possible02:27
PsychicVampireJordan_U: I suppose so long as I'm not his official IT guy, and just a patietn who helped him with windows - I'm not going to try to convince him to use Linux.. especially when he's paying for this Windows software.02:27
PsychicVampireI knwo there's psychiatry practice manamgent software for Linux, but to switch when he's late into his career would be pointless.. it's all integrated with his smartphone etc..02:28
cluelesspersondaftykins:  Attempting now.    but error  Error reading block ####number ### (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) Ignore error?02:28
daftykinsstef1a: you'll probably have a harder time establishing a dualboot, than clean installing - but yeah a nice 14.04.1 64-bit flash drive made up should boot fine, after having already made space for the installation via a Windows resize from within Windows02:28
cluelesspersonYes?02:28
cluelesspersondaftykins: force rewrite? lol02:28
daftykinscluelessperson: sounds like it's game over then to me02:28
PsychicVampireis it 8 or 8.1, daftykins?02:28
daftykinsPsychicVampire: please either learn how to use tab complete, or stop :)02:28
PsychicVampireerm, I thought I just did.02:28
cluelesspersondaftykins: Well, I continued and I'm getting a list of "FIXED" "FIXED" etc 10 times02:28
cluelesspersondaftykins: you quit too soon my friend. :P02:29
kxtwocrap I didn't realize 14.04 is still the most recent lts I thought something newer would have come out by now.  uess it hasn't been a year and a half yet.  I didn't care so much for 14.04 on my dell02:29
daftykinscluelessperson: maybe, but doing this via someone else is as fun as pulling my own hair out - so just follow the link and see how you get on.02:29
PsychicVampiredaftykins: using tab-complete to put your nick at the end of a question is using it wrong?02:29
PsychicVampire:|02:29
PsychicVampireI thought it was 14.11...02:29
daftykinsPsychicVampire: asking me about what OS the person i'm helping is running, is the mistake :)02:29
daftykinsPsychicVampire: i appreciate you trying, but if you can't follow there's probably no reason to try and offer help in here02:30
cluelesspersondaftykins: MOUNTED, HA02:30
PsychicVampiredaftykins: my apologies: i thought you were the one needing help.. sorry02:30
PsychicVampirei see you're helping clueless02:30
cluelesspersondaftykins:  TAKE THAT02:30
cluelesspersonnow where are those MYSQL files, ASAP02:30
stef1adaftykins: seems to be working okay so far...02:31
daftykinscluelessperson: since i've been helping you this entire time and you're now trying to throw it back in my face like i've done something wrong, i suggest you check your attitude.02:31
PsychicVampireYou are all very polite, I apologize for over-stepping.02:31
cluelesspersondaftykins: NO, I did something, you saved me!02:31
cluelesspersondaftykins: I'm just giving you a hard time. :D02:31
daftykinscluelessperson: i will ignore you if you carry on acting like an ungrateful.02:32
lasagn4hi02:32
PsychicVampireMy mistake 14.10 appears to be the latest stable version02:32
emanuel_daftykins: I did manually reboot the system by turning the power off waiting to see if it comes back02:32
daftykinslatest stable non-LTS (long term support) version, yes02:32
lasagn4with linux you can replace and install a bin over another program evecn though that other program is running? how is that possible02:32
PsychicVampireBut just so everyone knows in Win 8.1 you can partition drives by going to disk managment, right click the start button02:32
jamie_is there a place or way other than flash drive to transfer data between two hard drives, i just need 7 gb02:33
PsychicVampirelasagn4: it doesn't work with permissions the way windows does02:33
daftykinsPsychicVampire: i'm a Windows admin too, Windows talk is off topic here. thanks but no thanks :)02:33
cluelesspersondarkbasic: .... I cant believe I just typoed that.   "NO, I did something wrong, and you saved me!" xD02:33
kxtwo14.10 isn't lts and supposedly doesn't have much ot offer so was just going to stick with 14.04 and hope the problems I had were hardware not software02:33
PsychicVampireOh daftykins, it is? Ok.02:33
cluelesspersondaftykins:  ^  seriously, thank you02:33
PsychicVampireI would advocate gparted over that, though.. ok02:33
cluelesspersondaftykins:  I'm totally giving you a hard time.  You've saved me a lot of work. :D02:33
lasagn4PsychicVampire, but replacing it doesn't close the running program, it stays running02:33
OerHeksjamie_, dropbox, google drive .. dl-dvd02:33
daftykinscluelessperson: yeah, stop that thanks02:33
lasagn4PsychicVampire, is the running program now the old version or the new version?02:34
PsychicVampirelasagn4: through your RAM perhaps.. try restarting the program02:34
cluelesspersondaftykins: I'm confused.02:34
cluelesspersonso serious02:34
cluelesspersondaftykins:   Seriously though.  You've run into this before?02:34
daftykinsmany times.02:34
PsychicVampiredaftykins: sorry I somehow got you confused with kxtwo :|02:34
daftykinsi'm like the dead disk sniffer, in here02:34

daftykinsOerHeks: 8D02:35

fry__PsychicVampire: How can I get ubuntu to boot from grub? Currently it doesn't work02:43
PsychicVampirefry__: it is not an option in grub?02:44

cricketfartI just installed Bumblebee, but in my additional drivers, I don't see any reference to Bumblebee in the list of the drivers that are selectable.  I've restarted the machine after installing bumblebee and I had to run apt-get -f install to install missing dependencies and still nothing.  Does this mean that something is wrong with the installation?02:46
emanuel_PsychicVampire: can you tell me how to remount my file system as read writer?02:46
PsychicVampireThat about GRUB in the past was true, though, that the order of installation matters OS -> bootloader /vice versa02:46
PsychicVampireemanuel_: sorry no :(02:46
cluelesspersondaftykins: I managed to get the files on usb02:47
daftykinscricketfart: bumblebee itself isn't a driver, it's a way to let the nvidia driver work with the intel driver. it's also the old one, nvidia-prime is what should be in use02:47
emanuel_When I do mount I get back mount: warning: /etc/mtab is not writable (e.g. read-only filesystem).        It's possible that information reported by mount(8) is not        up to date. For actual information about system mount points        check the /proc/mounts file.02:47

cricketfartso daftykins, do I then just sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime  ?02:47
cricketfartand if so, should I sudo apt-get remove bumblebee ?02:47
daftykinscricketfart: not since you've tried bumblebee no, they're incompatible02:47
daftykinscricketfart: was this the flashing cursor problem? how far did you get with that?02:48
PsychicVampireis it Nvidia or ATI who release native linux drivers?02:48
cricketfartabout this far haha, I couldn't remember who was helping me lol02:48
cricketfartPsychicVampire I'm pretty sure it was Nvidia02:48
PsychicVampireYeah, thought maybe02:48
cricketfartI had Nvidia propietary options out of the box with my Ubuntu 14.0402:48

cricketfartLinux is taking over the world =D02:49
PsychicVampireOh now they both do, nice02:49
cricketfartLol02:49
daftykinscricketfart: i figured i left you installing an nvidia driver from the 'additional drivers' last night02:49
daftykinsPsychicVampire: no you didn't, you just asked.02:49
PsychicVampireYeah there are official ones in 'additional drivers'02:49
PsychicVampireThat's right I wasn't sure, but figured that was the case from poor memory02:50
emanuel_I need to remount uuid/7925a9cd-f8cc-492b-83cc-5a5a82dda879 as RW would someone explain to me how to do this02:50
daftykinssome of my pet peeves are someone who ask something, then claim to have known all along.02:50
cricketfartdaftykins: I think that's correct, but someone mentioned bumblebee and nvidia-prime, I was just acting to the best of my memory on what to do.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.02:51
daftykinscricketfart: yeah i was talking about them both at the same time, i said how bumblebee was the old way of doing things and nvidia-prime the new02:51
cricketfartWhen I say they mentioned the two, I'm not meaning in conjunction.02:51
cricketfartAh, so is it possible to sudo apt-get remove bumblebee and then install nvidia-prime instead?02:51

daftykinscricketfart: nah i'm asking you to run the dpkg command - "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then first03:16
cricketfartI actually haven't really used dpkg much except when following guides, I know nothing about it.  I'm just getting my head around apt-get03:16
stef1aalso, i installed ubuntu 14.10. help?03:16
cricketfartKk I'll do that03:16
Jordan_Uemanuel_: Why does the Windows system need to tell the Ubuntu laptop anything? Just configure the Ubuntu laptop to turn off when it detects that it's running on battery power (which it should actually be doing by default, at least once the battery charge gets low enough).03:16
daftykinsstef1a: boot the flash drive again and compare the loaded modules from that to your install, with "lsmod" - maybe the driver is different between (installing whilst allowing it to update online can result in an installation that has a different config to the live session)03:16
emanuel_Jordan_U: Your suggestion makes sense but I'm not sure how to do that. Can you suggest a guide?03:17

cricketfartdaftykins, If I may, I have one other question.  If this will take us on another long trial and you'd rather not spend the time on it, then by all means let me know and I'll continue exploring other avenues..  But, I can't use ALT and CTRL in fullscreen applications, they think I'm using ALT to bring up the dash and CTRL does nothing.03:43
cricketfartNot just fullscreen actually, anything in WINE that requires the use of ALT or CTRL03:43

Jordan_Uemanuel_: Do you mind having it shut down the second power is lost? That should be pretty easy to reliably configure with a pm hook.03:48
emanuel_Jordan_U I'd prefer it waiting 60 seconds incase she turns the power off while I'm using a laptop in another room but I can deal with turning it back on in that situation03:49
cricketfartDoes anyone know why I can't use ALT and CTRL in WINE applications?  Most of them think I'm using ALT to bring up the dash and CTRL does nothing at all.03:50
=== _X_C_V_B_ is now known as GodPolice
Jordan_Uemanuel_: Ok, that should be doable. I'll just have to think a little bit more about what happens if the hook gets run a second time while the first time through is still waiting to shutdown.03:51

emanuel_Jordan_U: thanks let me try it04:07
Bashing-omkrusz: In the legacy partitioning scheme there is a max of 4 'primary' partitions. What one does is take one of those primary partitions, and make an 'extended' partition. In this 'extended' container one can make up additional 'logical' partitions.04:07

kxtwoNot saying I don't personally agree with you, but 8.1 is more popular than 8 and has grown in popularity a bit04:34
EriC^^kxtwo: the partition will be in an unstable state and you can't use the windows partition in ubuntu04:34
kxtwoI don't really care too much to be honest, I am only keeping it so if I need windows for something.04:35
cricketfartIf that's what you mean exclusively then yes, I'd agree.  However, I have found that Windows 8/8.1 have been all-around poorly received by all walks of life when compared to previous Windows OS releases04:35
kxtwoEriC^^, just to clarify, you are saying if I DONT turn off fastboot the only negative impact is that I won't be able to mount the windows partition from ubuntu?04:35
kxtwoclearly my knowledge is a bit outdated so anything else you guys feel I should know please spit it out lol04:36
cricketfartAbout your fast boot though kxtwo,  it's so bad because your Windows 8/8.1 is not actually in a legitimate "off" state.  It's technically hibernating, and is "in-use" which is why you can't mount the windows partition04:36
cricketfartIf you turn fast boot off though, it will be powered off and it won't be in-use and you will be able to mount04:37
kxtwois fast boot in the bios?04:37

kxtwook booting into ubuntu04:52
bmelcher84ubottu: all I said was hi, none of what your guidelines comment says was done here.04:52
ubottubmelcher84: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)04:52
kxtwothis is so convoluted, I hit f9 then can choose between os manager(which boots windows) and ubuntu(which boots grub and gives me a choice to actually boot ubuntu or boot windows again) lol04:53
bmelcher84well only a bot would say that :p04:53
bynariekxtwo, have u set which partition to boot from in bios?04:53
bmelcher84kxtwo: I may be coming into this a bit late, but what boot loader are you using?04:54
kxtwobynarie, I do not believe there is an option in this bios but could be missing it04:54
bynariekxtwo, reason why i ask is because mine WAS the same way until i changed boot order... boot from harddrive has a sub-section that asks me what harddrive/partition to boot from04:55
kxtwobmelcher84, I just did a fresh install so I believe that boot loader will be grub, but I have an EFI laptop which is completely new to me and that was the issue, thankfully another user here told me about just using f9 to "change devices" to boot04:55
bmelcher84kxtwo: http://bit.ly/1FFCsnK04:55
EriC^^bmelcher84: bynarie he's using uefi, and an hp laptop, which most often has a hard wired bios that will only boot windows efi files, so he'll need to trick the bios by renaming the grub efi file as the windows one and he might have to delete the entry in the efibootmgr ( just maybe )04:55
kxtwobynarie, I will double check that04:55
cricketfartkxtwo windows 8 uses GPT04:55
bmelcher84I believe that link should solve things right up for you04:56
kxtwoI do not know what GPT is04:56
cricketfart!GPT04:56
kxtwoThere was absolutely no fucking need for that04:56
cfhowlettkxtwo, nor is there a need for such profanity.  stop04:56
EriC^^kxtwo: ?04:56
cricketfartkxtwo I was just trying to pull up info for gpt for you.....?04:56
bmelcher84whoa kxtwo, what is the issue here?04:57
bynarieLOL that was pretty funny04:57
kxtwoNot you cricketfart04:57
EriC^^me?04:58
kxtwono04:58
bynariekxtwo, i can take a screenshot for you if it could help u figure out what to look for04:58
EriC^^kxtwo: then who?04:58
kxtwojust moving on past the smugness of another user04:58
kxtwoAnyway updates seem to have fixed initial slowness, ubuntu partition is running smooth now04:58
EriC^^which user?04:58
EriC^^literally just me and cricketfart spoke to you04:59
EriC^^and bmelcher8404:59
kxtwoI think you missed something because that is not exactly true... none the less it's ok04:59
EriC^^oh ok05:00
kxtwoas for the EFI stuff, unless there are other reasons to do it, I am ok with having to f9 it to boot into ubuntu05:00

daftykinskxtwo: do try and keep the language friendly please :)05:00
cfhowlettEriC^^, doing my best to stay out of this mess ...05:01
cricketfartahahahaah omg05:01
cricketfartThis was great, sorry it's at your expense kxtwo..  From my perspective, this is funny as hell05:01
bynariehey kxtwo which device did u install bootloader on? maybe that has somethin to do with it05:01
kxtwoEriC^^, you see why I was highly annoyed, where I come from you only do that to insult peoples intelligence whilst being smug05:01
EriC^^did anybody notice there's a google bot in the channel?05:03
kxtwobynarie, I did not pick a different partition for the grub so it would have gone on the main ext4 partition by default I assume(full disclosure I am a little rusty and things have changed a bit since my last escapade)05:03
kxtwoThere is an efi partition but I was not messing with that05:03
EriC^^jirido:05:03
kxtwoBasically what happens is if I boot it goes right into windows, a simply hit of f9 gives me the ubuntu option, its really not a big deal just new to me.  EriC^^ says there are ways to change files to make that not happen but if there are no other benefits I am thinking for now it is best to leave it alone05:04
bynariei believe this is where bios comes into play.. if u have a way of selecting which partition to boot from, its prolly labeled "ubuntu"05:04
bynariethats what i had to do kxtwo because i know exactly what u are talking about05:04
kxtwobtw I am really glad you guys actually acknowledge the whole google thing.  I remember back in the day that was the default answer... google it.... google it.... google it.  Used to drive me nuts.05:04
EriC^^kxtwo: it's really simple and can be undone easily05:05
kxtwobynarie I am going to reboot and check that but from what EriC^^ has said about the tpical HP bios Im suspecting it wont work05:05
bmelcher84kxtwo: I think we got off on the wrong foot. Is your legacy and secure boot disabled?05:05
bynariethere should be a HDD Priorities in bios which asks which partition to boot from when booting hard disk05:05
bynariebmelcher84, i dont think secure boot really matters in this case05:05
bynariekxtwo, maybe not but worth a look at best05:06
kxtwobynarie, agreed and bmelcher84 I will check momentarily05:06
bmelcher84kxtwo: you can try running sudo efibootmgr -v05:06
EriC^^kxtwo: i've gotten mine to work to help another user here, i leave it with the f9 though cause whenever i leave home i hibernate, and home it's on all the time, unless i decide to venture into youtube with firefox, the f9 is more like in case the laptop gets stolen or something they will boot to windows i guess, and my stuff will go unnoticed maybe05:07
kxtwoEriC^^, ohh that is a good thought process right there05:07
bynarieEriC^^, good call05:08
daftykinslittle bit like security through obscurity to me ;)05:08
daftykinsanybody with any clue would see right past it :>05:08
kxtwolegacy is disabled05:08
kxtwosecure is enabled05:08
cricketfartHow do I see my default gateway in terminal?05:08
bmelcher84kxtwo: look ^ at the command to run05:08
daftykinscricketfart: ip route05:08
cricketfartthanks05:08
kxtwowow if I read this correctly enabled legacy would solve all of this05:08
kxtwoim in bios now, will do so when I get back into ubuntu05:09
daftykinslegacy solves nothing05:09
bmelcher84kxtwo: what is the output of the command you ran above?05:10
kxtwolegacy won't boot into UEFI, doesn't that solve the problem?05:10
kxtwoI'm not there yet hold on05:10
bmelcher84holding05:10
kxtwowell it loks like I picked a good time to buy a new laptop I think there is something wrong with this one it keeps going into sleep mode05:11
bynariekxtwo, check hdd priorities on bios... later good luck05:11
EriC^^kxtwo: it's remarkably easy to fix the issue05:11
kxtwobynarie, I am there now05:11
bmelcher84kxtwo: maybe it's tired05:11
EriC^^you just need to rename 2 files05:11
kxtwoThere is no HDD just OS boot manager05:12
EriC^^( most likely )05:12
kxtwoEriC^^, I am actually not worried about it at this moment to be honest, I was more so just curiosu and enjoying playing with some new stuff.  I think I will keep f9 for the reasons you said.  Will make it harder for them to get into my primary system lol05:12
bmelcher84kxtwo: for everyone other than who is in this room ;)05:13
kxtwobut yah without legacy mode there is no HD option just that boot manager and there appears to be no further o ptions beyond that05:13
EriC^^*dum* *dum* *dum*05:13
kxtwook let me try the eficonfig thing now05:14
loadedanvilshello05:14
loadedanvilswhat's the default cursor theme in unity?05:14
kxtwodamn it, ok maybe f9 will be annoying.  didn't hit it quickly enough lol05:15
bmelcher84kxtwo: ctrl, alt, and del will become your best friends05:16
EriC^^yeah, i'd rename the files05:16
EriC^^i literally type uptime sometimes and get shocked05:16
EriC^^ubuntu goes for weeks at time running here05:17
bmelcher84kxtwo: are you running 32 or 6405:17
kxtwo6405:18
kxtwook and got the output from the efibootmgr05:18
EriC^^if you're going to be rebooting or using windows often definitely rename the files05:18
kxtwoI shutdown a lot05:18
kxtwoI probably wont use windows a lot05:18
kxtwobut it will be nice to know how to do this anyway05:18
bmelcher84kxtwo: what was the output?05:18
kxtwoum05:19
kxtwothere is a lot here, how ab out you tell me what you ar elooking for lol05:19

bmelcher84kxtwo: dont be scared http://goo.gl/yoJHq405:20
kxtwothis is interesting05:22
kxtwoonly difference is that my EFI has it's own partition05:23
EriC^^kxtwo: it's mounted at /boot/efi05:24
EriC^^kxtwo: that's literally what i was telling you you could do05:24
EriC^^except i'd back it up as bootmgfw.efi.backup in the same dir05:24
kxtwoits not giving me the full path it started at \EFI05:25
EriC^^kxtwo: also i just remembered you will have to fix grub cause grub wont be able to boot windows for you anymore, cause it's os prober won't find the bootmgfw.efi file anymore05:25
kxtwobut ya05:25
EriC^^kxtwo: that's the efibootmgr entry05:26
kxtwoah05:26
EriC^^shows the list that you see when you press f905:26
kxtwowell my output is partially gobbly gook05:26
EriC^^with a certain boot order05:26
kxtwoanyway I am going to change the *.efi file to efi.backup05:26
kxtwoand copy the ubuntu one over05:26
EriC^^hold on05:27
EriC^^copy shimx64.efi instead of grubx64.efi05:27
kxtwocan I ask why?05:27
EriC^^btw on my laptop that wasn't enough, i had to also switch /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi05:28
EriC^^and completely annihilate the windows entry in efibootmgr05:28
EriC^^the thing kept spawning itself again05:28
kxtwooh boy now im getting concerned05:28
Scooty-loohello, anyone here know about clamav?05:28
EriC^^kxtwo: you shouldn't be yet, it worked for me, but the guy i was helping worked, except every time he booted into windows it would spawn it again05:29
cricketfartdoes anyone know why netflix is so quiet in Ubuntu?  Apparently Chrome browser is the only way to watch Netflix, so I installed it and I'm able to perfectly view it but the volume is so low that I can't hear it.  I turned the volume to max on my laptop and in the browser.  Everything else on my PC is so loud it's distorted over the speakers but I still can't hear Netflix05:29
kxtwoEriC^^,  you kind of lost me though05:29
kxtwowhat is the difference between shimx and grubx?05:30
kxtwolets start there05:30
EriC^^shimx is for secure boot05:30
=== Yukkii is now known as Yukkino
Scooty-loocricketfart: check your mixer, look at both output volume and application dependent volume05:30
cricketfartKk05:31
kxtwook what is the difference?05:31
EriC^^it's a signed efi file that the uefi will boot05:31
kxtwook im still not understaind the difference between the two but moving on05:32
EriC^^kxtwo: secure boot only allows you to boot certain stuff, so that nobody boots a virus or malicious os or something, so if the efi file isn't signed and in the list of efi files in the uefi ( bios ) it wont boot it05:34
EriC^^grubx64.efi is a normal efi file, shimx64.efi is a signed efi file that will work with secure boot05:34
cricketfartOmfg help!  I just fresh installed ubuntu 14.04 and I forgot what I put the password to as soon as I booted LOL05:37
EriC^^boot into recovery mode and reset it05:37
kxtwough I keep tying my commands wrong hold on05:37

jishjishHI All, I am looking to migrate from windows family tree maker to ubuntu. However I am struggling with the idea of exporting my data from FamilyTreeMaker 2006 to the widely supported gedcom format (given I have no idea what will happen to all the images I have attached to each person in my family, and or how that data will get migrated).05:39
cricketfartOk I'm in recovery mode, what do I do next?05:40
daftykinsfollow the steps to boot to a root shell05:40
cricketfartI got to the point where I type mount -o remount,rw /05:41
daftykinsthen run "sudo mount -o remount,rw /"05:41
daftykinsyep05:41
cricketfartNothing happened after that05:41
kxtwoholy shit I am too tired to do this I keep typing the damn file names wrong05:41

jishjishthanks OerHeks I was more looking for what happens to my data when I export (my trees of people and associated images) to gedcom, given it's a text based format isn't it. How do my images get migrated? I already have a list of applicable linux software.05:46

AlonzoTGSteam has made it clear that it will, going forward, only install and run on a 32 bit install of 12.04.0.0.32.184.3409575.548.3[2105:51

* daftykins facepalms05:52
AlonzoTGThat's the rub of it.05:52
daftykinsyou make zero sense05:52
cricketfartAlonzoTG install Wine from software center, download a windows version of steam and install it with wine05:52
OerHekscricketfart, wrong, wine only do 32 bit :-D05:52
cricketfartOerHeks, I have Wine running on an x6405:52
AlonzoTGI don't use ubuntu. I have it on my laptop but that install has fallen apart due to a version conflict between the updates it insists on installing at a rate of 5 times per second...05:52
daftykinsAlonzoTG: so why are you in here? what of your 'problem' is an ubuntu problem?05:53
OerHekscricketfart, 64 bit app in wine ? come on ..05:53
AlonzoTGNo, linux has deteriorated (or rather my previous motherboard had...) to the point that I actually built my first windows machine in 23 years and have it on HT duty.05:53
cricketfartOerheks Maybe I'm misunderstanding you05:53
AlonzoTGSo what I did was I got me debootstrap,05:53
cricketfartI have a 64 bit installation of Ubuntu and I'm using Wine in it05:53
AlonzoTGand installed the PRECISE version that Steam needed...05:53
EriC^^daftykins: :D05:53
daftykinsAlonzoTG: is there any chance you can skip to the *executive summary* that cuts this life story short?05:54
EriC^^:D05:54
OerHekscricketfart, so what is the use of 32 bit wine, as ubuntu has native steam ..05:54
cricketfartLOLLLL05:54
daftykinsAlonzoTG: i see what you did there, 12.04 - precise05:54
OerHekscricketfart, stop trolling please05:54
AlonzoTGSo I am wandering around this 32 bit chrooted environment that is supposed to be running ubuntu.05:54
cricketfartOerHeks, In my case, it was to be able to run AoE2 which doesn't run in the native Ubuntu Steam05:55
cricketfartOerHeks I'm definitely not trolling...05:55
AlonzoTGLemme pastebin the error.05:55
daftykinsAlonzoTG: that's not a real install then, not supported05:55
AlonzoTGBut what about all those great linux compatible games I paid Real Money for? =(05:55
cricketfartIf you check into it, a lot of games on the Steam version for Ubuntu will not work on the native steam version and you have to install it with Wine.  Afterwards it requires modding a few registry keys to display the text on Steam properly and then you can easily install Windows Games through Steam05:56
AlonzoTGhttps://bpaste.net/show/e4d42337553f05:56
AlonzoTGYeah, I've been through all that, now I have a windows machine hooked up to a 46" HDTV, so I'm definitely not in the market for fake-'doze steam right now. =|05:57

jishjishhi all, do ubuntu offer a i386 version of a minimal ubuntu installation for 32bit?06:44
charlesayhow would one put a linux iso on a dvd from the command line?06:48
OerHeksjishjish, sure, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD06:48
jishjishOerHeks:yes, I've been there, hence I am here asking "is there a i386 supported version of the minimal download?06:50
OerHekscharlesay, sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX ( where sdX is your usb device sda/sdb/sdc ..)06:51
charlesayOerHeks: thanks, wasn't sure dd worked with optical media (not sure why I thought so, though.)06:51
OerHeksjishjish, yes, 12.04 or 14.04 or 14.10 are supported06:51
cricketfartjishjish Yes there is06:51

cricketfartHey how do I use X11 forwarding from one ubuntu machine to another over SSH06:56
aeon-ltdcricketfart: iirc isn't it -X , imma google to check now06:57
aeon-ltdcricketfart: it is but some work is needed apparently http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-from-ubuntu-machine06:57
cricketfartaeon-ltd, Firefox -X outputs Error: No display specified06:57
phixok i fixes it, the correct answer was sudo dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools06:58
aeon-ltdcricketfart: did you read the top answer in the link?06:59
phixthnx for the attempt though06:59
jishjishthanks OerHeks are there system requirements for the minimalist distros?07:00
OerHeksjishjish, no, you can install any desktop07:03
jishjishso they are designed to support as many low powered desktop as possible.07:04
cricketfartYes the steps have been followed now, I get the same error.  X11 forwarding = yes07:05
OerHeksjishjish, that would be Lubuntu lxde i guess07:05

lost_and_unfoundGreetings, I am running Ubuntu 14.04, I recently purchased a TPLINK (TL-WM823N) USB WiFi dongle. The device is working and I can see various wifi networks and connect to them. However, some of the wifi networks I need to connect to does not show up in Network Manager or even "iwlist wlan0 scanning". Any suggestions? Thanks09:05
utopiaok... thanks09:05
somsipRubass: call the API directly. JS handles json as objects so you're just making it difficult for yourself. And this question belongs in a JS channel, so I won't help any more09:06
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest45934
svetlanaRubass: yeah, I think shell script can receive data only from a file (a regular file, stdin, or a named pipe). I may be missing something though.09:06
ekarlsoso what, ubuntu has switched to selinux vs apparmor ?09:07
RubassHi lost_and_unfound, it might be because the wifi dongle only accepts some WiFi Protocols, and those networks you are trying to connect uses a newer protocol / or older.09:07
utopiawhen i restar my notebook or after got sleep, and functioning again, i loose my wifi connection, that means internet connection is no more availaible, i always need to restart my Router and also my computer everytime... someone knows what happen.09:07
Rubasssomsip: thanks for your help :) I'll ask in a JS channel instead.09:07
lost_and_unfoundRubass: would the WiFI protocols be software or firmware related?09:08
Rubasslost_and_unfound: I think it is more hardware related, but most routers (or WiFi networks) have the the functionality to use a older protocol - this ofc, have its disadvantages.09:10

pokiwohello there, is there a key combination (shortcut) to copy hyperlinks in a selection, too?09:59
hamedpokiwo: what do you mean?10:00
pokiwohamed, I mean that i.e. you have to copy-paste a text with hyperlinks in it. you want that these links would be preserved in the pasted text. however with (ctrl+c and ctrl+v) you dont get the links but just the text pasted. Is there a key combination that retains the links in the text while copy-pasting?10:02
=== zzz_Ridley is now known as Ridley5
svetlanapokiwo: there is no single standard format for rich text with hyperlinks. when you copy from a browser into a word processor, it usually pastes with hyperlinks, for example.10:18
svetlanapokiwo: in your case, where are you copying from, and where are you pasting to?10:18
DReynoldsHey all, hoping someone can help. Ive installed Mono through the official mono repo (http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/#debian-ubuntu-and-derivatives) and am trying to use a program called spacedock. I'm getting the error /usr/local/bin/mono not found because mono is installed in /usr/bin/mono ... is there an easy way to fix this?10:24
svetlanai would ask the spacedock maintainers about it.10:25
pokiwosvetlana, the text in question is meant to be shared, i.e. in social nets. I am not sure what is good practice for sharing, some (or maybe most) such environments may not offer links to be clickable. or on the other side, I dont know how often they are responsive to pasting code version of the text.10:26
pokiwosvetlana, as for your question, it will be pasted from a website to wherever on the net10:30
svetlanapokiwo: with most social sites you can't do a thing because the website operators hardcoded a plain text box there.10:35
svetlanapokiwo: ask gnu social project to start supporting rich text box, maybe they will do it.10:35
lucidohi, I have a matrox p69 pcie card that doesn't show up in lspci but the bios detects it, how is that possible?10:35

pokiwosvetlana, yes, I can do that..so in that case html code wouldnt work, either..why then does everyone add codes for people to share by copy-pasting?10:37
guitehi everyone, I was wondering if there is a way to run an app with optirun (bumblebee) without opening a shell and entering “optirun my_app”10:37
guiteIn fact I’d like optirun to be used for everything… and no, prime-select does not work so far, nvidia drivers seem a big issue for the moment…10:38
aeon-ltdguite: if you can modify the launcher to include optirun as a prefix that would kinda work10:39
guiteaeon-ltd: OK, but I don’t know how to do so…10:40
aeon-ltdguite: depends what you normally use to launch stuff10:40
guiteaeon-ltd: I kept unity10:40
guiteaeon-ltd: so I use the unity launcher10:41
aeon-ltdyeahh i don't use that, right click on a dock item can you alter it?10:41
guiteaeon-ltd: no, it doesn’t look like I can do so…10:42
guitethis thing might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/160374/how-do-i-change-the-launcher-commands but I don’t get it at the moment…10:43
aeon-ltdwell..... anyone here know how to edit the application path in unity10:43
svetlanapokiwo: I don't know. web browsers support copying rich text, but when you share a pile of text on a social network it's usually plain text and you're expected to paste raw links (which would then become clickable).  -- stackoverflow is a social site which is an exception; you can type out markup in comments and messages and make links there. but I've rarely seen such markup being possible...10:43
svetlana...to *copy* from one message there to another one just by making a selection.  browsers only see html and only copy that, and oddly most websites don't rely on browser html editing features.10:44
svetlanapokiwo: a part of it is that relying on such features, while conceptually attractive, would make webmasters deal with inconsistent behaviour of different browsers.10:44
aeon-ltdguite: what part don't you get?10:45
guiteaeon-ltd: in fact, there’s a way to edit shortcuts in /usr/share/applications, looks it does the work :)10:45
guiteaeon-ltd: the first part was not clear, the “alacarte” stuff…10:45
guiteaeon-ltd: but modifying shortcuts is fine :)10:45
aeon-ltdok10:45
guiteaeon-ltd: thanks10:45
aeon-ltdno problem, though i didn't do much10:45
guitewell, if there is a way to add the prefix for all application without changing the shortcut for each, it would be great… but I think I’m dreaming :)10:46
pokiwosvetlana, thank you for this detailed information, I think then I'd be better off just pasting the raw link10:47
aeon-ltdguite: i imagine there are things you wouldn't need or want to optirun to run with10:48

mtreanor@cfhowlett I can read the data on the xfs system and I could manually compare data but wanted to use a diff command between volumes to see what was missing, but naturally the hfs file system won't have permission to read data unless in sudo11:47

tomodachimoppers_: what was the question?12:00
k1lbeedee: did you read http://beeyeas.blogspot.de/2014/07/ryu-sdn-framework-installation.html12:00

beedeek1l yes12:01
Misharimoppers_, k1l  I appreciate your help, thanks.12:01

gvijaibb, http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_port/12:02

bb http_port IP:PORT yep12:04
k1lthen ask the ryu people12:04
k1lthis is clearly a ryu issue12:04
gvijaibb, put your internal ip in it and restart12:04
moppers_looks like it or the user are mixing pip with easyinstall12:05
bbgvijai: looks like can't do it with icp_port IP:PORT ?12:05
bbgvijai: 'invalid value, is supposed to be a number'12:06
Misharimoppers_, excuse me sir, but what is your interests in the computing life ?12:06
gvijaibb, that's only for http_port, I didn't provide for icp12:06
gvijailet me check .12:06
bbgvijai: squid3 -k parse doesnt seem to agree with it eh..12:06
k1limho that link provided will solve the issue. but i cant see if its a user failure or a program failure. so the ryu guys should look into this12:07
gvijaibb, icp is for peer cache .12:07
bbgvijai: roger.. ok so changed the config and that looks ok, should i try see if im still getting denied?12:07
gvijaibb, can you paste squid log file tail please .12:08

mysupperubunt latest release , I'm using 14.02) still don't fixing no terminal screen after killing lightdm.12:42
mysupperNo. this is definitely ubuntu bug.12:42
mysupperafter kernel booted, if there's no supportable plain screen driver, if some one kill lightdm, there should be no screen outpu.12:43
OerHeksmysupper, no, why? if lightdm stops, nvidia driver stops, you had to go into ctrl alt f2 first.12:43

Vikfig<cfhowlett> thanks for your input and efforts to help me. I log out just now, unless you have any further suggestions ...13:53
cfhowlettVikfig, happy2help!13:53
moppers_cmullinax: for those reasons i think cron is better (impact on boot, and the fact that you cant predict how often it boots as opposed to wakes)13:53

Iceman_Anyone know how to use a Linksys mini-usb wireless adapter with Linux?14:10
Iceman_*ubuntu14:10
tewardIceman_: depends on the adapter model - a lot of Linksys wireless adapters in USB don't like to operate in Linux (becaues no drivers)14:11
Iceman_Yeah... That's what I was thinking might happen due to the lack of .exe compatibility... So as of right now, most things I try on that computer due to not having internet access14:12
tewardIceman_: you might want a different adapter.14:13
Iceman_Wait, nevermind. Is there a Boot Repair download someone can link me to?14:13
tewardIceman_: having said this, it's not a lack of EXE compatibility, its Windows/Mac drivers vs. Linux - they're not compatible with each other in most cases14:13

ThorHi, I've done something pretty stupid… I removed NetworkManager(in the process of removing dnsmasq), I'm trying to get it either back online without NM, or back online with NM, so far nither way has worked, without nm I've tried specifying my interface in /etc/network/interfaces, and with nm I've tried mounting a 14.04 install disk and using that as a repository to install NM again, but software & update17:42
Thordoesn't let me select the disk, either mounted from a hdd emulating a cdrom, or as iso. Any ideas how I can get NM installed again?17:42
gryphonThor, you can try to copy nm package and install it using dpkg17:45
bekksThor: Even more easy: manuall configure an IP address using ifconfig, and then just reinstall NM.17:46
Thorgryphon: where would I find it? I have tried using find on the iso itself and in the squashfs image inside casper on the iso17:46

Jammerx2My Bluetooth headphones have a play/pause button on it, but it only seems to pause media when used on Ubuntu (works with my phone). Any suggestions?18:05
Jammerx2abishek, don't use single quotes18:06
abishekJammerx2, can you give me an example?18:07
tewardJammerx2: not all bluetooth headphones work with all models for all functions18:07
=== prizrakkkk is now known as prizrak
tewardJammerx2: case in point, my BlueBuds bluetooth earbuds don't work with media except volume up/down on Ubuntu, but work flawlessly with all the advanced options as well on my phone18:08
Jammerx2teward, it does pause though, so it is definitely sending some signal and is possible to make it toggle play/pause18:08
tewardJammerx2: not saying it isn't, the point is the computer and/or device has to know how to process those signals18:08
sudormrfI have a language that is stuck in the language selector that needs removing.  I have uninstalled all the packages for the language, removed it from the text entry options, restarted and it still shows up.18:08
tewardJammerx2: those signals for one device might not be the same on another18:08
sudormrfwhere would the configuration file for this live?18:09
tewardJammerx2: the same earbuds work for play/pause but not volume on my android tablet, so it's less a problem on ubuntu and a question about the compatibility of the earbuds and the device18:09

abishekk, let me give that a try18:09
Jammerx2abishek, you could also probably just replace the $GITOUT with '+$GITOUT+' so it's outside of the quotes18:09

Jammerx2teward, xbindkeys seems to detect the keypress. I guess I'll just look into sending play/pause signals with the command line18:13

barballsIn grub I only get *ubuntu or Advanced options.  Ubuntu presents me with empty screen and advacned options get stuck on "Loading initial ramDisk".18:15

sudormrfI think this is a bug18:15
Jammerx2It's weird, it detects it as XF86AudioPlay and XF86AudioPause (the button seems to alternate the signal each press), don't know why only the pause works18:15
Jammerx2teward, I managed to get it working with xbindkeys running the command "xdotool key XF86AudioPlay" when I press it, might fix your situation as well.18:19

MonkeyDustrhapsody  i guess you have to remove the source frmm the "othersoftware" tab20:08
falcon_ffff20:08
rhapsodymonkeydust  i removed all sources there already...the list is empty20:09
zerowaitstaterhapsody: what happens you do this from the command line: nslookup archive.ubuntu.com?20:09

DrGrovMonkeyDust: But kubuntu-desktop will be a safe bet in this case? The reason I ask is since now it seems like my composite in Xubuntu 14.04 is working as intended and the nVidia card, due to the latest update a while back of the nVidia drivers, seems to be working well so I could switch up to something more of an eyecandy-based desktop environment20:38

Bashing-omrhapsody: BluesKaj :: Have you set up any rules (udw) from that of default ?20:42
DrGrovMonkeyDust: Before I install kubuntu-desktop, can you verify it works to just remove the metapackage kubuntu-desktop or should I have to write down all the packages it will install?20:42
rhapsodyBluesKaj, this looks interesting, too bad there is not a button to set the default values!  I will select what I think best fits20:42

zerowaitstaterhapsody: do the following: sudo netstat -l --numeric-ports -p21:12
zerowaitstaterhapsody: i'm curious which dnsmasq process is listening on 127.0.0.121:12
rhapsodytumbl3r, nameserver 127.0.1.121:13
Monydixie___, no output just timeout. another strange thing is that i tried to run tcpdump. there is outgoing syn but no replay whatsoever21:13
tumbl3rthat shouldn't be your nameserver unless you intended it that way21:13
dixie___Mony: that might be the server.21:13
zerowaitstatetumbl3r: that's normal on ubuntu21:13
zerowaitstatetumbl3r: ubuntu uses dnsmasq on the loopback interface for forwarding dns queries21:13
rhapsodyzerowaitstate, standby21:13
BlackVenomEvening folks21:13
Monytried like 5-6 freenode ones. if i try telnet blabla 6667 it connects21:13
tumbl3rzerowaitstate: ah, sry more of a RH/CentOS guy21:14
BlackVenomAnyone have any experience of setting up Deluge on Ubuntu Server?21:14
zerowaitstatetumbl3r: np, they are different a bit at the network tooling level21:14
Monyits blowing my mind21:14
dixie___Mony: I know a lot of irc server are now strictly enforcing sasl authentication now, and That would generate your problem.  But I would still think irssi should give you some useful output.21:14
rhapsodyzerowaitstate, the netstat command results http://pastebin.com/5QfaCdxa21:15
Monydixie___, not sasl problem. i will pastebin output in a sec21:15
dixie___Mony: you should google irccat really quick.  it's a bash script that will connect to an irc server with netcat.  That should atleast let you see what's happening behind the scenes.21:16
bjensen82I have 12.04LTS and I need to get mdbtools version 0.7.1, but its only located in the repo for 14.04lts, not 12.04lts. What can I do?21:16
dixie___bjensen82: see if you can find a git repo and build it from source21:18
Monydixie___, will try. http://pastebin.com/jEb4k5Q7 over irssi i just get connecting and after some time timeout21:19
MonkeyDustbjensen82  maybe it's in the !backports21:19
bynariei need help with oidentd and znc.. installed them, configed them, and no matter what user connects, the irc identd always shows "znc-admin@host", which znc-admin is a user on my server(ubuntu 14.04.1)21:19
bynarieany ideas how to set this up properly?21:19
dixie___Mony: that looks like a sasl error.21:20
=== brian is now known as Guest95778
tumbl3ropenvpn script uses /lib/lsb/init-functions but only some functions work like log_action_msg works but not log_action_begin_msg.  If I rename log_action_begin_msg and add a letter to the end of it and call the new name it works.21:21
Monydixie___, well it cant connect even to networks that dont support sasl21:21
dixie___Mony: what ircd are you using?21:21
Monydixie___, not my network. some old ratbox version is on the other network.21:22
Monydixie___, i'm suspecting that the problem lyes on some libs that both znc and irssi use. it can happen from nowhere21:23
Monycant*21:23
dixie___Mony: ratbox and hybrid both enforce sasl now.  talk to the admin.  I've had very good results with ngircd21:23
svetlanaMony, that paste waits for you to send USER and NICK -- it is not indicative of SASL problems.21:24
barballsso long thanks for fish21:24
Monysvetlana, thats what i'm saying21:24
svetlanaMony: it's normal for an irc server to wait for you to send USER and NICK. IRC clients do that for you automatically.21:25
Bashing-omrhapsody: Question; is this a server with 'Network Manager'installed ? zerowaitstate ::( server blocking update ports ?)21:25
Monysvetlana, no no. the problem is that it doesnt connect at all over irssi or znc. it just timeouts. i'm showing that it WORKS over telnet.21:25
dixie___svetlana: that's the telnet output.  or course it's waiting for user and nick.  that's why I suggested irccat to debug the problem.21:26
MonyIrssi: Looking up 64.32.24.17621:26
Mony23:18 -!- Irssi: Connecting to 64.32.24.176 [64.32.24.176] port 666721:26
Mony-!- Irssi: Unable to connect server 64.32.24.176 port 6667 [Connection timed out]21:26
dixie___one sec.  I'm going to try to connect myself and see what happens.21:27
Monydixie___, for some reason it works over root.21:28
Monyand nothing has been changed over the system for quite some time before the problem21:28
dixie___worked just fine for me.21:29
dixie___Mony: I'm still thinking sasl.21:30
Monyit doesnt get to the point to ask for sasl21:30
dixie___Mony: try another client.21:30
dixie___sasl's got to be pre-defined.21:31
=== BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away
svetlanaMony, dixie__: SASL and timeout are unrelated.21:31
svetlanaMony, dixie__: you will also get a timeout if you do not send user and nick.21:31
k1l_try another ip, or better the general freenode adress21:31
Bashing-omMony: dixie___ :: /sasl set Freenode <primary-nick> <password> PLAIN <- ??21:31
svetlanaMony, dixie__: when irssi or znc timeout, like you pasted, it specifically indicates that the client did not receive a "looking up your hostname" line -- implying a networking issue, not a sasl issue and not a nick issue etc (NOT at the irc protocol level).21:32
k1l_and if it works for root its a user settings issue.21:32
svetlanaBashing-om: no.21:32
svetlanaMony, dixie__: the correct course of action in this case is trying to ping the server from the commandline on the same computer irssi is running on.21:32
LadonI have 4 hard drives with media set up like /mnt/X/TV. I do not want to pool them as I want to keep things separate. How do I create symlinks for all of the content of /mnt/X/TV/* into a symlink-only folder /mnt/TV/?21:33
Monysvetlana, i have. and the telnet connects to the server under the same user21:33
svetlanaMony, dixie__: in addition to that, I would like to ask whether the ircd is running on the same box as ratbox or not.21:33
LadonAnd is it possible to have that symlink update to always show the content of /mnt/X/TV if new subfolders are added?21:33
svetlanaMony, dixie__: *whether the irssi is running on the same box as ratbox or not.21:33
Monysvetlana, there is no ircd on this machine i cant connect to freenode or any other network21:34
svetlanaMony: telnet and irssi on the same computer, telnet works ok but irssi times out?21:34
Monysvetlana, yes21:34
Monysvetlana, and the same user21:34
bekksLadon: sudo ln -s /mnt/X/TV /mnt/TV21:34
svetlanaMony: that's -highly- odd. I would ask #irssi for help.21:34
dixie___svetlana: I just connected to the server in question with 0 trouble with two different clients, both of which support sasl.  we know the server's visible from the connecting computer because of the nmap output, and we know it's reachable because of the telnet output.  what we don't know is what's happening behind the scenes.  and there's really only a few ways to find that out.  the easiest of which is to connect to the server with21:34
dixie___netcat.21:34
svetlanadixie__: it's a networking issue, the client does not even start talking irc.21:35
Monysvetlana, i agree but its not only irssi. znc also stopped connecting. there are few eggs on the same server. they cant connect either21:35
Ladonbekks, that just puts a TV folder in /mnt/TV21:35
bekksLadon: Thats what you asked for,21:35
Ladonbekks, I want the subfolders to symlink in the /mnt/TV directory. I apologize for not being clear.21:36
bekksLadon: you asked for a way to create /mnt/TV which points to /mnt/X/TV21:36
Monytcpdump sees the outgoing syn but doesnt see any responce21:36
CropsTafitehi21:36
bekksLadon: For subfolders, you need to do that manually, unfortunately.21:36
dixie___svetlana: seems like telnet does a fine job of resolving the server, but there's a reason we're not seeing that keeps irssi from doing the same.21:36

imbezolLadon: no warranty on this but...21:38
NymeriaFRI'm on ubuntu 14.04 LTS21:38
NymeriaFRAnd i'm vulnerable21:38
dixie___Mony: svetlana: I know I had a few sasl issues when I upgraded some 14.04 installations a few months back.  I'm guessing it's the same issue.21:38
imbezolLadon: find /mnt/TV -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -not -name TV | while read D ; do find "$D" -type f | while read F ; do ln -sf "$F" /mnt/TV ; done ; done21:39
svetlanadixie___: what were the symptoms? did you also not get a "looking up your hostname" message from server?21:39
bekksNymeriaFR: So wait for bugfix then.21:39
imbezolLadon: that will not remove links for files that have disappeared, tho that should be easy to add to it21:39
Ladonthank you imbezol, I will try that out. bekks I will look into unionfs or aufs also!21:40
jhutchinsLadon: Or there's rsync.21:40
Ladonjhutchins, wouldn't that copy the files over?21:40
Monydixie___, the old irccat on sf?21:41
dixie___svetlana: well I wasn't using telnet to try to connect, but I got the erc verion of the same errors.  my solution was to append my .authinfo file.  worked like a charm, however irssi is a different beast altogether.21:41
imbezolLadon: actually you could probably do it a lot easier21:41
svetlanadixie___: did erc show an '*** looking up your hostname' etc lines when it wasn't working?21:42
imbezolLadon: find /mnt/TV -type l -exec rm {} \; ; find /mnt/ -type f -exec ln -sf {} /mnt/TV \;21:43
NymeriaFRbekks, I'm just surprised ! It's a security issue and 1 month after it still not patched21:43
imbezollots of ways to do it21:43
zerowaitstaterhapsody: what is the version of apt that you have?  command is dpkg-query -s apt21:43
dixie___Mony: I think I found it on github gist, but it's not really very complicated.  you're basically just piping user/nick/join stuff through an outbound nc connection.  You could probably just re-write it from scratch if you were so inclined.21:43
bekksNymeriaFR: Because kernel 3.19 isnt released yet. And the fix is in 3.19-rc3 as stated ion the link you posted.21:43

NymeriaFRI am not an expert, I have just found that and I wonder if it's "normal"21:52
zerowaitstaterhapsody: okay, i looked at the source code for apt. For http requests, it uses get getaddrinfo() function to resolve DNS names.

zerowaitstaterhapsody: what does your /etc/apt/apt-file.conf show?22:00
ScrivenerSo I used Super + P. It changed my resolution in a multi-display (3 display) setup, and also screwed up just about everything else with the displays.22:00
ScrivenerRotation, position.22:00

glightawell I,m storing file on nodeA=apt-cache server; on nodeB and nodeC, it use nodeA as apt-get proxy. (so I don't dl packge twice..)22:01
rhapsodyzerowaitstate, there is no apt-file.conf, do you mean apt.conf?22:01
glightain very short22:02
ScrivenerDraws it over and flickers whenever any actions are taking, so my main display is completely unusable right now.22:02
zerowaitstaterhapsody: look in /etc/apt22:02

rhapsodyzerowaitstate, all i have is /etc/apt/apt.conf22:03
bjensen82MonkeyDust: ok i just read the docs for apt-cache and tried showpkg, showsrc, show neither of which showed me the configure options22:03

JEEBsvhttp://up-cat.net/p/ab54909522:34
sparrI'm getting stuck at a grub rescue prompt. I'm trying to follow various online information about fixing the problem. I've found my root partition, and I can see that /boot/grub exists with files in it, and /boot/grub/i386-pc/ has many .mod files. However, there is no "linux.mod", and everyone seems to want me to have that file. Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong?22:35
JEEBsvit seems to happen every time I boot, but it only leads to non-bootableness about half the time22:35
jkwhen i try to add my ppa i get the following error: Error: signing key fingerprint does not exist22:35
Jordan_UJEEBsv: Have you filed a bug report as the error message suggest you should do?22:36
JEEBsvJordan_U: it's against a kernel that is only supported by canonical at this point so I wasn't sure22:36
JEEBsv3.16 is not a long-term supported kernel22:36
JEEBsvso I wasn't sure22:36
k1l_NymeriaFR: just for your interest: the founder of this issue asked for a cve just today, some hours ago. so there cant be a update if its not known.22:36
JEEBsvof course it gets even better if you try to boot with 3.1922:37
JEEBsvbecause that never succeeds22:37
JEEBsv:V22:37
JEEBsv3.18 is similar to 3.1622:37
JEEBsvthe mainline kernel builds available at 'buntu at least make testing kind of simple22:38

ziikutvHello22:40
Jordan_Usparr: You can run "set" to view the currently set environment variables. What is the value of $prefix and $root?22:41
ziikutvI have a dual-booted windows with ubuntu22:41
Bashing-omsparr: Mine: ls -al /boot/grub/i386-pc/linux* >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13076 Oct 14 16:18 /boot/grub/i386-pc/linux.mod . Have you tried (RE-)installing grub from the liveDVD ( CHRoot ?) .22:41
ziikutvUnfortunately its not even starting, and I would appreciate if someone can help me remove it?22:41
dixie__ziikutv: what are you trying to remove?22:42
ziikutvThe ubuntu22:42
sparrBashing-om: I can see now that I have /boot/grub/i386-pc/linux.mod so my problem is how to get insmod to see it at the grub rescue prompt22:42
ziikutvIts on the same harddrive too. And I am pretty sure, simply removing the patition is not okay.22:42
Jordan_Uziikutv: What happens when you try to boot Ubuntu? What happens when you try to boot Windows?22:42
sparrJordan_U: prefix=(boot-root)/boot/grub and root=boot-root22:42
ziikutvWhen I select windows, it goes to another "os selection screen" windows 7 or windows 8 (its left behind from the time I had windows 8)22:43
ziikutvwhen I select windows 7, I am able to get in.. when I seelct ubuntu, black screen sometimes it starts and sometimes nothing.22:43
Jordan_Usparr: "insmod linux" (which will probably result in an error message about missing symbols, or you wouldn't be at a grub rescue shell in the first place).22:43
sparrJordan_U: when I do "ls (boot-root)/boot/grub/i386-pc/" i can see linux.mod. when I do "insmod linux" i get "error: file not found"22:43
sparrJordan_U: ok, changed my prefix to (boot-root)/boot/grub/i386-pc/ and now when I do "insmod linux" I get a symbol not found error22:44
sparrerror: symbol not found: `grub_realidt'.22:44
=== slawek is now known as slawqo
Jordan_Usparr: You have a *really* old verson of grub installed in your mbr/embedded area, and a current version in /boot/grub/.22:45
=== slawqo is now known as slaweq
sparrit has likely been more than a year since this machine was rebooted22:45
Jordan_Usparr: You can boot from a LiveCD and re-install grub to fix this, and if you have more than one hard drive it's likely that just changing the boot order in your BIOS will allow you to boot (because you have a proper grub installation on the MBR of your other drive).22:46
dixie__ziikutv: the easiest way to get rid of an ubuntu installation is to just get rid of it's partition, but I'd be willing to bet that there was probably an issue when you installed ubuntu and for one of 1000 reasons it won't boot.  If you want to keep the ubuntu installation, you can just reinstall formatting the existing ubuntu partition and it should work.  The other option would be to boot a live cd and run grub-install to fix the22:46
dixie__bootloader.  good luck.22:46
sparrJordan_U: I cannot immediately boot from other media.22:46
JEEBsvJordan_U: do you know how well those freedesktop folks take reports on kernels that are only supported by canonical?22:47
JEEBsvfor DRM/Intel22:47
Jordan_Uziikutv: Removing Ubunut will not help your problem with not being able to boot Windows, as evidenced by the fact that grub is properly loading Windows' bootloader and at that point if anything fails its due to a problem with your Windows installation.22:47
JEEBsvof course, I guess mentioning that it also fails with 3.18 would help with that :V22:48
Jordan_Udixie__: You can *not* just remove Ubuntu's partition to uninstall Ubuntu, that will leave you with a broken grub installation meaning you won't be able to boot into Windows either. Please be more careful about giving advice in the future.22:49
=== slaweq is now known as slaweq_
JEEBsvugh, freedesktop bug tracker needs a registration :|22:49
=== slaweq_ is now known as slaweq
Jordan_UJEEBsv: I expect that they would appreciate the bug report, especially since as you already said you're testing newer mainline kernels as well.22:50
Jordan_Uziikutv: Removing Ubunut will not help your problem with not being able to boot Windows, as evidenced by the fact that grub is properly loading Windows' bootloader and at that point if anything fails its due to a problem with your Windows installation.22:50

=== erry_ is now known as erry
Jordan_Uziikutv: You should *not* just remove Ubuntu's partition either way, as that will just make the situation worse. If you'd like me to walk you through properly uninstalling Ubuntu I will, but again it won't get you any closer to booting Windows.22:51
winterchillzhey guys22:52
JEEBsvJordan_U: yeah - I guess I'll bite the bullet after I grab some sleep. I guess I'm always hoping to catch some 'buntu kernel/i915 person or someone with a 1st gen intel macbook to either be able to do some live debugging, or at least learn if it's just my laptop or not22:52
JEEBsvI only have one of these on hand, after all :D22:52
winterchillzcan anyone recommend a good package of irc server and services for ubuntu server? I've been struggling with ircd-hybrid 8 for a while now and I just can't get the services to connect to it22:53
ziikutv1Jordan_U: Hello, i got disconnected.22:53
winterchillzcurrently trying out Anope but the compile process is taking a while so I decided to hop on and quickly ask around22:53
ziikutv1Well no I think the problem is with my ubuntu install22:53
ziikutv1my windows is fine from before.22:53
ziikutv1I am still able to get in and use windows but when I select ubuntu from the grub menu it either doesnt do anything or it logs me in automatically (i checked automatically signin option if that makes a difference)22:54
Jordan_Uziikutv1: I don't understand. Can you successfully boot Windows currently or not?22:54
ziikutv1yes22:55
ziikutv1but not ubuntu22:55
ziikutv1So I want it off from my harddrive22:55
Bam_yus22:55
dixie__ziikutv1: the bootloader loads the kernel into memory and starts the init process.  if ubuntu won't start, your problem is more than likely in your bootloader.  re-installing grub would fix this.22:55
Jordan_Uziikutv1: Ahh, OK. I misunderstood your situation then. Is this a BIOS or UEFI based system?22:56
ziikutv1UEFI22:56
EriC^^ziikutv1: you can have both if you want..22:56
dixie__Jordan_U: good question!22:56
ziikutv1No I cannot22:56
EriC^^ziikutv1: yes you can22:56
Jordan_Udixie__: I highly doubt that this is a grub problem, as the grub menu is being shown without problem.22:56
ziikutv1unfortunately I do not think I am clear, the ubuntu does not login or start all ALL!22:56
EriC^^ziikutv1: why do you say that?22:56
ziikutv1at all*!22:56
EriC^^ziikutv1: do you get a grub menu?22:56
Jordan_Uziikutv1: OK. Can you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD/USB?22:57
EriC^^ziikutv1: do you get a purple screen to select windows or ubuntu?22:57
ziikutv1EriC^^: Yes from the grub menu if i pick ubuntu, nothing happens (or sometimes it logs me in to ubuntu but most of the time black screen, nothign!)22:57
EriC^^ziikutv1: ok well that's unrelated to windows completely22:57
ziikutv1Exactly.22:58
EriC^^i mean removing windows wont help22:58
ziikutv1Its my ubuntu, i managed to F it up.22:58
winterchillzmaybe the boot loader is failing to communicate with the kernel and initramfs22:58
EriC^^ziikutv1: did you try running an older kernel?22:58
winterchillzEriC^^, I believe he wants to rm Ubuntu instead22:58
Jordan_Uziikutv1: If so, please do so and then run "sudo efibootmgr" and post the output it gives to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com then post a link to the output here. We will use efibootmgr to make Windows' bootloader default again, after which we can safely remove Ubuntu.22:58
ziikutv1yes I want to simply remove ubuntu partition and get rid of grub22:58
dixie__Jordan_U: if the grub.cfg isn't correct, ubuntu won't load.  I run into this mostly when building os images. grub won't find what it needs, and best case senario you get dropped to a grub prompt.  worst case, you get a funny error about inability initramfs.22:58
EriC^^ziikutv1: did you try booting with nomodeset ?22:58
EriC^^winterchillz: oh ok22:58
ziikutv1EriC^^: No, I recall several months ago that UEFI had to do smth like that.22:59
ziikutv1Jordan_U: Okay22:59
EriC^^ziikutv1: it could be a bad kernel, or bad graphics driver22:59
ziikutv1most likely graphics22:59
ziikutv1i was playing with that at the time22:59
EriC^^ziikutv1: try an older kernel, go to advanced in grub, and choose an older one22:59
ziikutv1I will try that later23:00
ziikutv1right now i just want to get rid of this23:00
ziikutv1Jordan_U: I will go offline and comeback23:00
EriC^^ziikutv1: ok, try to boot with nomodeset then or boot normally press ctrl+alt+f1 , and install the proper drivers23:00
ziikutv1Nah, just going to remove the ubuntu for now as I do not need it.23:00
ziikutv1thanks tho! :)23:00
EriC^^ok np23:01
dixie__good luck23:01
winterchillzso, guys, any suggestions for irc server with services for ubuntu? As I said, I've been playing around with ircd-hybrid and different services packages for hours now23:01
winterchillzbut I can't get the services like NickServ and ChanServ to connect to the network23:02
winterchillzcurrently trying out Anope but the compile takes a while so I thought it might be a good idea to ask around23:02
dixie__winterchillz: there used to be a package in ubuntu's repositories called hybserv that provides services for ircd-hybrid, I think it's depreciated in favor of anope services. Last time I checked, there was no package for it, but it installs from source pretty well.23:03
winterchillzyep, tried hybserv with download from github but it's failing to compile23:04
dixie__winterchillz: seems like you're on the right track23:04
winterchillzso that's why I'm currently trying out Anope23:04

Jordan_Uback-ziikutv: Interesting. This is not what I would normally expect.23:11
back-ziikutvJordan_U: Why not?23:11
back-ziikutvThis is just boot order why does this affect the ubuntu partion or grub or any other bootstrapper23:12

Basketballhow do I use update-alternatives to open a file in google docs23:16
TJ-back-ziikutv: If you're using the Live Ubuntu, have you used gparted or some other tool to check the partition layout on the disk(s) ?23:16
dixie__Basketball: good question!  although I have no idea how to do it.23:16
Jordan_Uback-ziikutv: Please post a link to the guide you followed. From what I'm seeing, you must have copied shim.efi to BOOTX64.efi, which Ubuntu does not do automatically, to get grub to load without an explicit UEFI boot entry.23:17
sheena1i'm trying to use a liveusb to get an ibm thinkpad to run and it claims "missing operating system" when i boot it from the usb. i've never had this issue before.23:17

back-ziikutvIll try to find it23:17
sheena1Jordan_U: with the usb creator.. it's not recent. but it works great in my gateway, and i've used it on a couple friends' laptops.. this laptop is quite old and im wondering if thats the issue, but i have no idea how to tell?23:18
TJ-sheena1: Are you 100% sure the PC is actually trying to boot from the USB? If so, have you checked the USB is bootable/readable on another PC?23:18
=== BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away
sheena1TJ-: I'm as sure as i can be. it displays the brand name of the usb stick inthe boot menu. and yes, i did check, it works great on mygateway23:18
TJ-sheena1: You may need to enter the PC's BIOS settings, find the boot order options, and ensure that the USB device is set to be tried as a boot device23:19
back-ziikutvJordan_U: Cant I just remove the parittion and fix MBR from windows disk23:19
sheena1TJ-: already done that. have set it and made sure it's enabled23:19
Jordan_Usheena1: What version of Ubuntu did you put on the USB? What version of Ubuntu did you run startup disk creator from?23:19
winterchillzTJ-, sheena1, I had someone having issues with booting from USB due to non-UEFI creation in the past. Maybe you misclicked and selected UEFI boot system?23:19
sheena1im pretty sure its trusty, from trusty. would that affect whether it would work in some computers but not others?23:20
back-ziikutvJordan_U: Dont think I remember what key words i used :(23:20
Jordan_Uback-ziikutv: No, that would be what you would do for a BIOS based installation, and if you had just used Ubuntu's installer and done nothing else then just removing Ubuntu would be fine. But it looks like you've done more than what Ubuntu's installer does, which is why I'd like to see the guide you followed.23:20
TJ-sheena1: OK ... there are some weird PC BIOSes that have buggy boot-strap code that reports the wrong boot device number to the boot loader; but usually that'll pass by the "Missing OS" stage. It sound to me like a BIOS that looks for at least one MBR partition being marked as Active/bootable23:20
