[00:00] ugh Linux tool naming *facepalm* [00:00] rww, is there any compelling reason to use aptitude with ubuntu? It doesn't come pre-installed, so I assume ubuntu maintainers decided apt and apt-get were "better"? [00:01] pretty sure i've seen some more experienced users advised against aptitude [00:01] remline: not really, just use whichever you prefer [00:01] but why not use what's built in 0o [00:01] daftykins: It used to have issues with resolving multiarch dependencies. It doesn't these days. [00:01] (personally, I use aptitude) [00:01] I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, so I don't have a preference. I'd take the community recommendation and be satisfied. :D [00:01] i want to see all the services that are available on my machine, which one are currently running and which are starting on boot. i know there are 3 services system in ubuntu: system v init, upstart and systemd. i also know the command 'service --status-all' is doing what i want but only for system v init. am i accurate with my assumptions and what are the other 2 commands i need to know? [00:01] remline: yeah, stick with apt-get [00:02] owen1: to start, currently-released versions of ubuntu don't use systemd for services management [00:02] it'll change over at some point, not sure if it's 15.04 or later [00:02] rww: ok [00:02] rww, mind telling me why you use aptitude? This package management stuff is pretty interesting and neat. [00:02] remline: the ncurses gui [00:03] also, I prefer aptitude search to apt-cache and what not [00:03] owen1: as for upstart, http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#list-all-jobs [00:03] rww: thanks! [00:03] owen1: (it's a one-liner, but I'm linking you so you have the rest of the upstart documentation handy) [00:04] rww, cool, I read about the ncurses bit. [00:04] Is anyone aware of a program that will automatically sort through my files and place them directories based on the year they were created? [00:04] rww: what's on the roadmap when it comes to services? systemd will replace system v init and upstart? [00:05] evon: no, but #bash might help you if you ask really nicely [00:06] daftykins, What is #bash? [00:06] owen1: yep, though sysvinit scripts are supported by systemd (and upstart), so the main job is getting all the Ubuntu-specific and upstart-specific stuff moved to systemd units [00:06] !bash | evon [00:06] evon: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:06] rww: thanks again [00:06] evon: and that's a channel here where people talk about bash [00:06] evon: an IRC channel. [00:07] SchrodingersScat, Thanks man. I will check out that channel [00:14] Does anyone have any experience with the Tor browser? [00:15] what's so hard about an encrypted firefox? [00:16] m0h4wk: people don't tend to want to waste time asking you to ask the REAL question, so you're better off asking the *actual* one :) [00:17] daftykins: what do you mean? [00:17] daftykins: I'm having trouble with accessing hackforums.net on Tor [00:17] Hi, I have a monitor connected with a VGA to DVI-I adapter to a Nvidia card. I can't get a resolution over 1333 in this monitor. I have tried xrandr and no luck. Any tips ? [00:17] m0h4wk: then that's off topic here. [00:18] daftykins: any idea which IRC channel I should go to then? [00:18] coelhos: sure you don't mean DVI on the card end -> VGA? [00:18] I have no experience with Tor, maybe there is a Tor IRC channel. [00:18] !alis | m0h4wk go nuts [00:18] m0h4wk go nuts: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[00:21] coelhos: a modeline might work, might have to pull it over DVI first [00:21] coelhos: you're using proprietary nvidia drivers i take it? [00:22] yes [00:23] daftykins: yes, the ubuntu latest ones [00:23] i take it that means 331 [00:24] yeap [00:27] coelhos, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i edid [00:27] pretty sure i said that already :) [00:28] brb [00:29] I'm looking to create a filesystem on an unallocated drive in linux. I've been told ext4 is a good enough fs for what I'm trying to do. I'd like to make sure that my command line is correct before executing. Is this going to successfully partition my full 2TB drive? sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb [00:30] bruxC: no [00:30] Oh? [00:30] easier to use gparted [00:30] bruxC: you need to create the partition, then format it [00:30] sdb is a disk, not a partition [00:30] to be clear, i'm in ubuntu server 14.04, will this sway your suggestion? [00:30] the disk is what I'm partitioning. [00:30] no [00:30] how much ram does ubuntu 14.04 need (for a quick virtual machine test)? [00:31] bruxC: yeah but your command isn't. [00:31] I see. Could you help me construct a more accurate command? [00:31] bruxC: use sudo cfdisk [00:31] oh nvm, help.ubuntu.com had the answer kthxbai [00:34] bruxC: once you create a partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1) then you can mkfs on it. [00:35] Yeap, Unable to get display device CRT-0's EDID; cannot compute DPI [00:36] winner \o/ i'd hate to have to deal with analog displays in this day and age [00:37] my other monitor has dvi-d and works flawless [00:37] can someone remind me how to purge unnessesary programs and files in command line?

[00:50] which client peterlondon [00:50] .net === andrex|off is now known as andrex [00:51] Found irssi on google... anyone else using it? seems like a decent client huh? any other recommendations? must be command line... :) [00:51] daftykins it already shows as /dev/sdb in disk -l [00:51] weechat peterlondon [00:51] help in #weechat peterlondon [00:51] peterlondon: I also use irssi . [00:52] bruxC: you'll need a sharper eye than that to learn Linux. /dev/sdb_1_ [00:52] ? [00:52] i said /dev/sdb1 [00:52] I understand. [00:52] But what I"m saying is the unallocated drive is sdb why would it be sdb1 [00:52] /dev/sdb is a disk, you can't mkfs on that... /dev/sdb1 is the first partition on disk sdb, that can me mkfs'd on ;) [00:53] Isn't it the same entity [00:53] * daftykins facepalms [00:53] you can only make a file system on a partition, not on a raw disk [00:53] without a partition table a disk is useless [00:53] Bashing-om: cool! staying with irssi for now then :P [00:53] so humor me then [00:54] I partition this disk and then what happens.. it changes from sdb to sdb1 [00:54] or is there two entries in fdisk [00:54] no, sdb gains sdb1 [00:54] peterlondon: Like a lot of things, hang in there. There is a learning curve . [00:54] bruxC: "sudo fdisk -l" and all should make sense. [00:54] I have, and I guess it doesn't. [00:55] bruxC: notice numbers beside /dev/sda ? [00:55] yes. [00:55] those are the partitions on it [00:55] is this getting clearer yet? [00:55] I see. [00:56] Bashing-om Lurning curves is what we're here for right? :P [00:56] bruxC: so like EriC^^ suggested - use "sudo cfdisk" to create a partition - a single ext4 one for 100% of the disk if that's what you want [00:58] I'm assuming I'll need to do certain parameters [00:58] well, as with us, it doesn't read minds [00:58] peter, yup. we learn .. for extended help with irssi, join #irssi on this network . [00:59] And as do you, I pick up on condescending demeanors. [00:59] I didn't wake up and learn Linux. I'm trying whether it's apparent or not. [00:59] bruxC: best way to learn is to be quicker at saying when you don't understand :) [01:00] bruxC, windows can have partitions c: d: e: on same drive. linus uses sda1 sda2 sda3 [01:00] I have been completely transparent to that fact.

But I do have a question - that google immediately couldn't solve for me... :P. I'm setting up my first Software Raid with 3x3TB hard drives for now... But the inital "building process" is SOOO slow... maxing out at 5295K/sec according to /proc/mdstat... this is gonna t [01:03] *I've BEEN spending.... [01:03] your message cut off at "this is gonna t..." [01:03] of, damn, ok, : this is gonna take weeks! this can't be normal??? Tried a couple of tweaks I found on google but nothing have helped so far... [01:04] Multiple monitors obviously have a long way to go [01:04] no ideas about software RAID, personally [01:04] i use proper hardware based RAID :) [01:04] i guess utopic could be better (on trusty) [01:04] going non-LTS is never a wise move imo [01:06] hello how to u find out mac on linux thnks [01:06] daftykins yeah that was my inital plan too.... even though I'm not sure how "proper" the hardware RAID in my 5 bay enclosure is hehe. but I did a lot of reading and mdadm seems to be more flexible [01:06] what's with all the ubuntu offshoots like xubuntu and kubuntu? [01:06] the drive doesn't show up in cfdisk [01:06] Peterlondon: tryed btrfs?

[01:08] Among other things [01:08] sabgenton: well, i knew that, but heck, i can put kde on my regular ubuntu install, no need for an offshoot to do it for me [01:08] bruxC: type sudo parted -l [01:08] bruxC: if it has a gpt partition table use cgdisk [01:09] Some of them alter base packages [01:10] daftykins proverbial.... that's an interesting word, have no idea what it means though :P [01:10] P.O.U.'s good enough for me, lol [01:10] POU == plain old ubuntu [01:11] and even ubuntu is a user-friendly debian [01:11] peterlondon: what usually hits the fan?

I spent days and nights reading about RAID and losing big amounts of data seems to be a part of the game so to say, must say it's convenient though. if my array ever finishes initiating that is.... [01:17] I think in the comments for EVERY article I read about RAID someone mentioned losing data, no matter at what RAID level. hehe. [01:17] peterlondon: you can format a couple of partitions in btrfs and set the fs itself to raid mode whatever [01:18] sabgenton I will definitely look it up... just had a really quick peek at the wiki but it seems interesting [01:19] Thank you EriC^^ and daftykins [01:19] ( It doesn't even care if there on the same drive or not) [01:19] bruxC: no problem [01:21] peterlondon: what sabgenton speaks of is still experimental so i would keep that in mind [01:22] Once you format a raid etc you can use it as one big FS or make multiple special directorys that can be booted into as separate FS's (called subvolunes or snapshots) === andrex|off is now known as andrex === andrex is now known as andrex|off [01:26] I would now like to copy all of my content from the old ntfs to my new ext4 drive. will a sudo cp -f /old/ /new work or should I be looking into something else?

[03:32] have a strange issue, just started happening and I am not sure what to make of it [03:32] So if I do ls '/media/aaron/data/Recorded TV'0000000000000000000000000000000000 it lists what's in the folder but if I do ls /media/aaron/data/Recorded TV it says no such file or directory0000000000000000000000000 [03:33] when I run ls command, my results come up messed up [03:33] Philll: while true; do if pgrep ; then echo $(ps aux | grep ); break; fi ; done [03:33] some times file names come up as segments of numbers [03:33] A3679, use pastebinit!! thank you [03:33] I am stumped [03:33] Philll: that will wait for the program to start, get the ps aux info and stop [03:33] here is an example of 1 line from the ls output [03:33] 192.168.001.150.38808-054.192.036.134.00080 lesson [03:33] cfhowlett: for what? [03:34] it is also listing by default, in list but with out permission [03:34] any idea [03:34] anyone [03:34] ? [03:35] daftykins running cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd result is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10249238/ [03:35] A3679: yeah because you have a space in the path name, this breaks a lot of things. [03:35] Aaahhh [03:35] Thanks [03:36] Ericc^^ sorry i don't understand exactly how to do it [03:36] Philll: just paste the whole line and whenever the program runs it will echo the ps aux info [03:37] damn, how damn stupid can I be lol [03:37] that seems dumb [03:37] nevermind [03:37] i figured it out lol [03:38] Philll: whenever the program runs just type ps aux | grep [03:38] mindless_chaos: what had you done? :P [03:38] was fun to write though [03:38] apparently I program I ran made a lot. really lot of files with funky names in my home directory [03:38] would come in handy to check if a certain program ever runs or not or something [03:38] could it be the invasor: guest-mr3qXw [03:38] they were just so long, it made normal ls look like a column [03:39] mindless_chaos: hah [03:39] Can anybody reccomend a tool to do text search/replaces in a pdf file from CLI? [03:39] and it just made the output strange [03:39] It looked like it put all the numbers before a file, but it was another file name right next to it [03:39] i couldn't tell until I used a file explorer [03:39] mindless_chaos: ls -l is handy in those times [03:40] no, -l looked all messed up too lol [03:40] oh well. drama over. [03:40] but only because when I ran -l all I saw was funky numbers, and it looked like it was messed up [03:40] you mean run it on terminal? it returns syntax error [03:41] mindless_chaos, ls -lh should be clearer [03:41] it was just the fact that the names were so long, and so many of them, just made the output look stupid, i tried so many ontions [03:42] anyway, im out [03:42] later [03:42] Philll: it's good if the program is not a gui, i thought it wasn't a gui that was running, in your case just whenever it runs just ps aux | grep in the terminal === michael__ is now known as Guest16510 [03:43] Philll: you're probably missing a ; or something it should work [03:43] Philll: is the guest account active right now? [03:44] no === Harrowed_ is now known as Harrowed [03:45] that is what appears running cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd http://paste.ubuntu.com/10249238/ [03:46] The Ubuntu phone suspends apps running in the background. Does the same apply for terminal processes too?

Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [03:46] ugh these phone types are only gonna get worse now that thing is out [03:48] i tryed to run the code you told me to run on terminal but it does not works it returns syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [03:48] michael_1: if the terminal is an app i guess so [03:48] what would be the correct command for backing up an entire remote drive over ssh? i'm looking into doing something like ssh me@remotehost "tar -czvf - / 2> /var/log/sshbackup" > backup.tar.gz , but i'd want to run the tar command as root... [03:48] michael_1: try sleep 10 and see if continued [03:49] Philll: paste what you typed [03:49] and by backup i mean transfer. this is a one time thing, so rsync isn't necessary, and what's important is that it deals well with a lot of small files [03:49] ps aux | grep [03:49] the exact thing you typed [03:50] yes [03:50] * daftykins chuckles [03:50] is just a placeholder for whatever you want to use [03:51] like ps aux | grep something [03:51] ok i should put there the name of the prgraman that starts by itself? it is codeblocks i runned ps aux | grep and it did not worked too [03:51] without the <> [03:52] ok worked, it returned: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10249420/ [03:53] ok so it's not running right now [03:53] no [03:53] cached: if it's one time why must you make it into a single command? [03:53] daftykins: i have like 1gb left on the remote drive, and 99gb worth of stuff [03:54] cached: you're not gonna be able to tar it all up then [03:54] daftykins: the tar isn't being stored in a file, it's sent over the network... [03:55] i know that's what you're up to but didn't think it possible to send it before it's done, ho-hum [03:55] ah well gl [03:56] i mean the programm oppened by itself and i imdiately closed it, just that, it happens sometimes with other programs, it just opens and keeps opent, the program is always on the icons bar [03:57] with icons bar i mean sidebar [03:57] is it one of the programs in your sidebar? [03:57] yes [03:58] ok, it could be the tap to click of the mouse [03:58] *touchpad [03:58] is it a laptop? [03:58] the touchpad was desactivated [03:58] yes [03:58] do you press the super button a lot? [03:59] or alt+numbers? [03:59] sorry i don't know what is the superbutton, english is not my natural language [03:59] do you usually press alt+numbers [04:00] more or less, my old keyboard of this notebook was changed, it worked by itself [04:00] anyone know much about the vlans? [04:00] bmelcher84: ##networking [04:00] has it ever happened with you away from the keyboard? [04:00] thanks [04:01] not that i remeber [04:02] i mean this keyboard does not works by itself, typing or something like that, and i dont know if there is a command for codeblocks to open alt+something [04:02] Philll: it might be that you're pressing the winkey next to alt with a number, that causes the launcher apps to start [04:02] winkey = super [04:04] it can be, my hand is always close to the win key [04:05] * OerHeks thinks: programms start by itself, keyboard changed, sounds like dirt in the edge of the touchpad or wrong keyboard [04:05] i think this keyboard can have a bad contact with the winkey, i think the winkey is being fucntioning by itself [04:07] it is a relief that is the keyboard, the old keyboard had the same problem, but not with the winkey, and as the program takes sometimes to start i could have pressed the keys without noticing and only noticing after a while when the programs starts === Snake2k is now known as Boxxy2k === Boxxy2k is now known as Snake2k [04:09] i just installed ubuntu 15.04 everything was going good till the second or third restart. once i sussfully log in im kicked back out to the login screen. but then i can only can type a letter or two in password field before it goes blank [04:10] Guest75321: 15.04 isn't out yet, #ubuntu+1 [04:11] Philll: yes it could be so [04:11] Philll: you could add a xev command to the while true command and see if the buttons were pressed for it to open [04:12] Philll: or something like that [04:12] Philll: maybe disable the super key with xmodmap or something [04:12] see if goes away [04:12] *if it [04:12] !15.04 | Guest75321 [04:12] Guest75321: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 === badon_ is now known as badon [04:13] thankyou verrymuch Eric, i think an invasor would not be constantly openning programs from the sidebar and doing nothing more than that, but what about "guest-mr3qXw" appearing with the command cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd is there something to worry? [04:13] Philll: no idea about that user, it looks like a guest session user but it's odd that it's in the user list [04:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10249238/ is there something more here to worry? [04:14] Philll: type grep guest-mr3qXw | /etc/passwd [04:14] how do i open apps at mouse location [04:15] Basketball, lols, move your mouse to the panel, open it, etc [04:15] Philll: sorry, grep guest-mr3qXw /etc/passwd [04:15] it return permission denyed [04:16] OerHeks, i have dual monitor === root is now known as Guest50616 [04:18] that is what returned: guest-mr3qXw:x:117:126:Guest,,,:/tmp/guest-mr3qXw:/bin/bash [04:19] Philll: it looks like the guest sessions user [04:20] it's odd that it's in the user list though [04:20] ok so is it regular that it apears guest-mr3qXw when i put the command: cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd ? [04:21] the networking channel is just troll games [04:22] and they are not even funny when they do it lol [04:22] bmelcher84: well, doesn't make it an ubuntu topic i'm afraid. [04:22] i've made all the processes to instal wine on 64 bits system, could it have something related, i've executed allmost all the commands from here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit [04:22] daftykins: how to set a vlan in ubuntu doesent make it under ubuntu? [04:23] Philll: type sudo grep guest /etc/shadow | cut -c1-20 [04:24] bmelcher84: vlans are configured on routers and switches 0o [04:24] it returned guest-mr3qXw:*:16464 [04:24] daftykins: right, but you have to set your computer to look on a specific vlan to connect to it [04:25] that doesn't sound right [04:25] anyway, i'm off [04:25] could this guest user thing be related to an invasor? [04:26] it's probably just the guest account. [04:26] our university's email is administrated by them and they have said that they monitor us [04:26] Philll: i dont think so [04:27] wow that is some paranoid computing [04:27] Philll: it has the home dir of the guest session and no password [04:27] I've installed Ubuntu on a fresh disk, but have a windows partition on an old disk that I'd like to boot into - is that possible? [04:27] what about 16464 this is not my password, what is it? [04:28] mk: plug it in, run sudo update-grub [04:29] Philll: according to the manpage it's the date the password was last changed [04:29] i wonder if somebody could tell when the account was created using it [04:29] daftykins: excellent, it found it. Thank you [04:29] * daftykins bows [04:30] guest account HAS no password - or system privileges [04:30] cfhowlett: yeah it has the number there though [04:31] well i've changed the password recently, but you mean when my account was created? i just have one single account on this notebook. [04:31] that's why i wondered for no password accounts if you could tell when it was created with it [04:31] if you're truly worried about the guest account, it is easily disabled. [04:32] you mean 16464 is when the guest account was created? [04:33] open window on monitor with mouse [04:33] Philll: the manpage says The date of the last password change, expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970. [04:34] OH, amazing, it like time function o c language [04:34] 45 days ago [04:36] if you say about the 16464 i changed my password kind like 15 days ago not 45 === Harrowed is now known as Harrowed__ [04:36] Philll: that's when the guest account was created [04:37] hello [04:37] whats up [04:37] is anyone here? [04:37] penis [04:37] You mean when i installed ubunto on my notebook, or you mean when i started the notebook with the guest account? [04:37] ubuntu is fly [04:38] Philll: it's since the guest account was created, how i dunno [04:39] beep [04:39] i'm booted from a live cd, I have my hard drive mounted, but to make changes I need to use sudo.. I tried `# mount -o remount,rw,umask=000 /dev/sdaN` but it doesn't help, same effects.. [04:39] any ideas? [04:39] But i guest account is created when you install the os or when you use it? i did not put any name on the guest account, is that name generated automatically? [04:39] Philll: type sudo grep filipi /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f3 [04:40] or better yet [04:40] Philll: type sudo grep root /etc/shadow | cut -d: -f3 [04:40] 16400 [04:40] the partition in question is ext4, so I'm guessing that umask really only applies to vfat filesystems [04:40] for the second? [04:40] yes root [04:41] wel 64 days before when i acessed with the guest user is probably the date when i last installed ubuntu on my notebook [04:42] i mean 16400-16464=64 kind like two months [04:44] i think it creates with the acess of the guest user, how can i easily calculate the date trough 16464 days since 1970 [04:45] well today is 16481 so 16481-16464=17 days ago [04:46] so i think 17 days ago was 30 january, probably when i acessed with the guest user by accident [04:47] EriC^^: btw, you could've done that with a single awk command.. sudo awk -F':' '/root/{print $3}' /etc/shadow awk -F'' works like cut -d and then you can grep in awk by running awk '/search/' and then to get the third column you {print $3} [04:48] so this is no reason to worry ? this guest user? [04:49] DANtheBEASTman: true === knight_corvi is now known as Guest72711 [04:49] DANtheBEASTman: cut -d: -f2- is useful for end of line stuff, awk has an ugly thing for that [04:49] unless you know how to easily grab the end of line from a column [04:49] :> [04:53] in that case i would just use awk to delete the columns, so if you wanted the third onwards.. awk -F':' '/root/{$1=$2=''; print}' but this slightly mangles it, so cut may actually be easier.. but in general I try to avoid chaining pipes for text processing, and just try to use awk [04:54] EriC^^: ^ (oops forgive my color code fail) [04:54] DANtheBEASTman: yeah awk is great [04:55] actually that should awk -F':' '/root/{$1=$2=""; print}' those inner quotes would mess up the outer quotes === alpha|away is now known as alpha [05:10] Hello.

I.E., "change firefox language" ??? [05:23] i ahve tried but i am not able to [05:23] i have changed the language but still it is showing the same telugu language [05:24] Do you think maybe it is the specific website? Maybe try http://www.microsoft.com or something? [05:24] sorry, ubuntu.com ... [05:24] ok [05:30] sujata did htat work?

So I moved it there. But then when I look at phpinfo not even the ini file is loaded. Before the ini file was loaded but not the module. I feel after checkinstall or make + make install there should be a .so file and there doesn't seem to be. [05:49] I always suck at this compiling stuff [05:50] maestrojed: you compiled this yourself? you need to contact the software authors then.

[06:21] this simple task is taking too much time of me [06:21] kanhiay, ask #libreoffice [06:21] no body is answering there cfhowlett [06:23] cfhowlett: nobody is answering and these are must have features in libreoffice and how libreoffice is productive , if it is taking so much time just for a watermark [06:23] kanhiay, libreoffice is NOT an ubuntu program or product. ask the publisher [06:24] cfhowlett: peoples will be using it, hence i asked for a help here [06:24] http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ [06:26] cfhowlett: you are a bot??

[07:01] mjhszig, not supported here [07:02] darn, i went to #pinguy, but its empty [07:02] mjhszig, if you need support, consider installing an OS that provides it. [07:02] well, i guess my question is really more broad... it really about ubuntu 10.10 [07:03] mjhszig, way past end of life, thus no longer supported. [07:07] k well its still a usable system, and people are running way older OS than mine, im just looking for help to a problem, i came to the right place, so i not looking for nay-saysers, just someone who is interested in helping, thx [07:08] mjhszig, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 and 14.10 ubuntu are officially supported as stated in the channel topic. other OS's are not. sorry to disappoint. [07:08] sorry mate, the *buntu Nazis are only gonna help you on current distros [07:09] (but they are very helpful if you are running a current dist) [07:09] r0b0r: please try behave [07:10] sorry Tm, i did clarify... [07:10] us.undernet.org [07:10] r0b0r: doesn't make it ok, show some respect to volunteers and the community === Bob` is now known as bruceq [07:11] You guys are very helpful with issues regarding the current distros of Ubuntu... that's what i said.... [07:12] is there an antiquated *buntu forum? [07:12] r0b0r, pretty sure he was referring to the completely unprovoked insult about "buntu nazis" [07:12] oh [07:12] right. yeah sorry about that [07:13] seriously though, where does one go to find support for no longer supported distros? [07:14] there are a lot of people not running the latest distros for whatever reason, where can they go to ask questions? [07:15] I just feel it's rude to disregard someone, although it IS indeed in the topic header, for using an antiquated dist. [07:15] well that is definitely how i feel. i have a general question about ubuntu that cant even be entertained bc im not up to date. the forum designed for my distro apparently doesnt exist anymore. so now what am i supposed to do. ok if this is offical channel of supported OS, then where am i supposed to go [07:16] mjhszig, easy answer: install a supported version? [07:17] mjhszig, LTS versions have 5 year support lifetimes. 14.04 is the current LTS [07:18] r0b0r: try asking your real question. If it doesn't involve a package issue, it might have a simple fix. === Luke is now known as Guest9587 [07:19] luke2 [07:19] somsip, I am simply an observer in this forum - thankyou though for being polite [07:20] Manners go a long way!

[12:16] memoryleak, thunar with ubuntu? why not nautilus [12:17] I just wanted to give it a try [12:17] memoryleak, what happens with mplayer [12:18] thunar works fine in 14.10 [12:18] I still have the same problem [12:18] I get grub> prompt and nothing else [12:18] does no one know what to do with this? [12:19] !seen EriC^^ [12:19] I have no seen command [12:19] bazhang: I couldn't narrow down the issue to a specific applicaiton. I have the freezes also when I'm playing back a YouTube / Facebook video with firefox/chromium [12:19] probably a video driver issue [12:20] White_Cat, did you update-grub [12:20] bazhang, jatt: The freezes occour occasionally when playing back media.

I have a Levono Thinkpad T430, and connect it through the dock to a 3-display setup (laptop and 2 external monitors). Until recently, it was working flawlessly. Recently, I accidentally hit the Super + P combination which, as far as I know, messes with resolution. This drove my displays nuts, and now my 2 external monitors are impossible to set back to their proper resolution. Any attempts to in the Displays settings yields the erro [14:48] r "GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 65". Hitting Super + P did not reverse the damage, either. And xrandr didn't help either. How can I restore the proper resolution to my external displays? [14:48] anyone ever run ubuntu on a usb stick?

[15:08] Scrivener: I would suggest remove power to the docking station, remove laptop - put back power to docking, put back laptop. - Im guessing your screens "disapeared" Second thing to try is vendor utility for multiscreen setup. - nvidia-settings or amdccctl - if its nvidia or amd. - If you are using open source-drviers, try X -configure and see what it says about your screens. - Might be that your screens got new id's [15:09] what u mean i have HD5770 [15:09] problem fixed itself with turning it off and on again [15:09] all i wanna do is install the latest fdriver [15:09] OpenTokix, I can try this, but I've done it before.

[15:43] Yes, blank spaces... spaces that occupy space, without any entities visible. [15:44] It is in Ubuntu 14.10. [15:45] Jakey2__: est should be esc, but I guess you got it? [15:46] OpenTokix, is there a way I can clear out all of Ubuntu's knowledge about my display setup altogether, and have it re-detect and reset everything itself as it did the first time I plugged them in? [15:46] Because it worked the first time. It's only after hitting that godawful Super + P combo that it went haywire and won't go back. [15:47] Issue 3: Whenever I log out, I can never log back in, Xorg just freezes. I can't switch to VT. My only option is to hard reboot. [15:47] Scrivener: Im not sure - it might be so that there is some state saved for you laptop. - Usualy the super +P have multiple states, ie. external only, mirror, multi etc. [15:47] Scrivener: so it might be so you have to go back to the state you had [15:47] OpenTokix, how can I tell what state I'm in? It looks the same now, except that the resolutions are strange. [15:47] Scrivener: I would go in to laptop bios, so see if there is any info about it in the bios, to start the troubleshooting [15:47] :S [15:48] Man, frustrating. [15:48] Scrivener: laptops tend to be =) [15:48] Haha, Linux* tends to be :P And I say this as someone who works solely with Linux at home and professionally. [15:48] Righto... I'll begin the slow slog back to sanity. [15:49] Scrivener: I have to be honest, - i dont use linux for my protable computers =) [15:49] OpenTokix: depends on the laptop , I have never had isses excet for Modern apple laptops [15:50] Lenovo laptops work fine out of the box with everything [15:50] Hi is anyone here from the official Ubuntu team? [15:51] Maluno, they are rarely here [15:51] Mhmm, mhmm, thanks for the straight answer. [15:51] tomodachi: thats my impression also, - just never gone the lenovo route [15:52] same for the macbook air, everything works out of the box and i mean everything [15:54] Hi! Using 14.04.1 LTS, "apt-get install protobuf-compiler=2.4.1-1ubuntu2" complains that "apt-get install protobuf-compiler=2.4.1-1ubuntu2". How can I make apt-get locate v2.4.1? [15:55] Maluno, what do you mean with 'official ubuntu team" ? [15:56] Maluno, if you mean canonical employees, threre may be some here but i don't know that they are empowered to speak for their employer. what's up? [15:56] vy, drop the 2.4.1-1ubuntu2 > sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler [15:57] I am a rep from the biggest technology forum in my country and I would like to talk with the official team in order to organize an event. [15:57] OerHeks: But I do not want the latest 2.5.0 release. [15:57] Maluno, which country, if I may ask? [15:57] Maluno: i suggest you to send an email to the devolopers if you wanna talk with them. [15:58] Portugal :) [15:58] For issue 2, I think I am experiencing this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/785117. I can't remove or add applications via software center. I tried to run /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 manually from a terminal; I get '(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:22557): polkit-gnome-1-WARNING **: Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 22557'.

[15:58] Thanks man. [15:58] vy stange, why not ? next release is using 2.6.1 ... [15:59] \win 2 [15:59] OerHeks: Because I need 2.4.1. [15:59] OerHeks: I want to install particularly that version of the package. [15:59] OpenTokix, I can confirm that Super + P does cycle through output modes, and that I'm in the same mode as the one I started in -- not mirrored or external-only modes, but the default mode. Yet in the Displays setting, if I select a higher resolution (which is available and native to the displays), I get "could not set the configuration for CRTC 64" (or 65). [16:00] Maluno: there's also http://www.ubuntu.com/about/contact-us , but not sure what you're checking for your event [16:00] The only time I have had this message before was when a kernel update broke my 3-monitor setup a long time ago, but this did not happen following a kernel update. [16:00] vy, oke, then download the sourcecode, and build yourself http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/protobuf [16:00] And my 3-monitor setup is working, except that the two external displays are not displaying at their native resolution. [16:01] Just want to reach someone from the official team so I can be redirected to the right person. Anyway, thanks for the help. [16:01] Maluno, you are aware that a company is behind ubuntu? [16:01] maybe contact them [16:02] Ok, sure. [16:02] Why is it so hard to do not talk at all when you do not know the answer... [16:02] Nice tips :9 [16:02] :) [16:03] vy ?? i cannot give you a package to download, as they are removed from the server. nice attitude .. [16:04] without enabling samba .. is it possible to change the workgroup name in ubuntu ? [16:04] OpenTokix, I got it! I should document it somewhere. [16:04] Scrivener: yes you should [16:04] In Displays settings, here's what fixed my problem. I disabled *one* of the external monitors, and saved the configuration. [16:04] Then, with one disabled, I changed the resolution on the other one successfully and saved. [16:04] Scrivener: awesome [16:04] Then I enabled the other one again, and it enabled at the proper resolution. [16:05] OerHeks: Because in the worst case you can recommend ppl to download .deb files manually and install via dpkg, which I also did. Compiling from the sources should be the last resort. Further, IIRC, installing an old version also should possible via apt-get/aptitude by making some configurations to the package system. [16:05] Think perhaps I should ask + answer my own AskUbuntu question about it? [16:05] That way others might find it. [16:05] sofar so good thanks [16:05] if i need any more help ill comde back i am noff now [16:05] Scrivener, that would certainly earn you karma! :) [16:06] So update break the system [16:06] cfhowlett, meh, couldn't care less about that -- I just want to save people some frustration ^.^ [16:07] Scrivener: there is a wiki you know [16:10] without enabling samba .. is it possible to change the workgroup name in ubuntu ?

[16:11] Lumia930`, sure, you need to edit 2 places, [16:11] cfhowlett, I know I have a stackexchange user (I've done some things on AskUbuntu before), but I can't seem to locate it... heheh. >.> [16:11] !hostname [16:11] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one.

[17:07] what invariably happens is that within a couple months of installing, ca.ubuntu.com or whatever canadian mirror gives me a 404 on some packages, and i always end up stripping out the ca. and everything works again [17:08] like i don't get why the apt sources isn't just cdn.ubuntu.com or something which redirects to the nearest mirror [17:08] ludocode: its made to decrease the heavy traffic from the main servers. in general that works very well. i dont know whats up in canada with the mirrors [17:08] and i also don't get why apt doesn't try a different mirror if a package download fails. arch's pacman does this, it automatically tries the next mirror in the list if a package is missing [17:09] ludocode: ca.ubuntu.com is already a loadbalancer and not one specific server [17:09] ludocode: maybe one to ask ubuntu-mirror-admins (see link on here) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors [17:11] i know this is slightly oot but since apparmors kinda canonicals baby; can it be used on dro8d [17:12] ludocode: There are all sorts of solutions like mirrorselect that will pick your fastest mirrors. [17:12] uuhimhere: what is dro8d ? [17:12] ludocode: Sometimes a mirror will drop out of sync, or will be in the middle of an update when you connect. It's just something that happens sometimes, it's just a glitch, not a system failure. [17:12] leet spelling of android popey [17:13] kinda sounds like a system failure if an update fails due to missing packages... as in, the system isn't working properly if it offers me updates that aren't actually available [17:14] ludocode, is your release still supported? that would be a reason for that [17:14] hi guys, have a question: I'm looking at htop on my ubuntu server, and there's a few apache processes with high CPU usage and on the TIME+ column they show 500h, 1000h, 2000h, times like that, is this normal? [17:14] ludocode: on systemsettings, software and updates you can choose the mirror. [17:14] ludocode, what version are you currently on [17:14] bazhang: sorrt am on ma phone [17:14] ludocode: but if you are not interessted in any advice but just in ranting: this is the wrong channel then [17:14] i'm not actually using ubuntu anymore. i'm on arch mainly, but i'm installing debian on another system right now and it asked me to choose a mirror [17:15] ludocode: m( [17:15] and it got me to thinking about how the ubuntu canadian mirrors were always broken, so i came here to ask about it [17:15] ludocode, #debian [17:15] yeah i know, but i used ubuntu for about 9 years, figured people might have insight about how these mirrors are supposed to work [17:16] ludocode, the release cycle is shorter, that would be a factor, but again you are not on ubuntu, so please #debian [17:16] i didn't ask in #debian because i haven't had these problems with debian. [17:17] ludocode: The mirrors are mostly auto-maintained and hosted by an organization that has some bandwidth and the ability to sponsor a server. [17:17] ludocode: Most of them host more than one distribution. [17:18] ludocode: Some of them aren't terribly reliable - it's not like there's a financial incentive for the best uptime. [17:18] i'm currently trying to compile audiere-1.9.4 and it says that I need libFlac, and it's currently disabled, I ran $ apt-get install libflac-dev, expecting that to install the devel files for headers and such, and when I went to re-compile, nothing showed up, I ran $ sudo updatedb && locate .h | grep flac, and nothing showed up. [17:18] ludocode: There are private, commercially maintained servers you can pay to use. [17:19] does libflac currently not work for 14.04 LTS? [17:19] I've googled for this, haven't found much of anything useful. [17:20] somsip: On October 5th, 1991, Torvalds sent a posting to the comp.os.minix newsgroup announcing the release of Version 0.02, a basic version that still needed Minix to operate [17:20] Prezident: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ? [17:20] ikonia: how your comment has? [17:20] Prezident: to find out if your conversation is anything to do with ubuntu and either allow you to continue or ask you to stop [17:22] You are still off topic, im talking about the source of Ubuntu and you talking nonsence, im done now but you are way more OT then me since we talked about ubuntu included a question regards the kernel earlier. [17:26] In Ubuntu 14.04 I can't figure out how to switch workspaces. [17:26] Cntrl+Alt+Arrow Key does nothing. [17:27] have you enabled workspace under apperiance? [17:27] Mongo44, gnome-shell or unity [17:27] Is there a way in which I can install a package from utopic in trusty? I need a newer version of exim4 that has support for a feature I need. The version in utopic has the feature I require. [17:27] Term1nal: manually download the package file, or find a PPA with the backport? [17:27] you can try super + s for get an overview Mongo44 [17:27] Term1nal, dont mix repo versions [17:27] Mongo44, check this Ask Ubuntu article, it might help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/260510/how-do-i-turn-on-workspaces-why-do-i-only-have-one-workspace [17:28] It is Unity. I don't think Gnome has that shortcut. [17:28] Mongo44, gnome-shell has tons like that, depends on the extension like alt tab coverflow [17:32] Hey all, I'm running Ubuntu 14 in a virtualbox VM, it runs slow even with guest additions installed because I have integrated graphics. Is there a way I can dumb down the graphic appearance/effects to make it run faster? [17:33] Gwiz: use a lighter variant, maybe? Xubuntu or Lubuntu should work for that [17:33] how much ram is given to the vm Gwiz [17:33] 4GB [17:34] One of the people in my company are hammering Google, through a crawler maybe. In Ubuntu (my router), is there a way to see which computer is accessing a site multiple times? [17:34] teward, hopefully I can find a way to do it without needing to reinstall :( [17:34] hi #ubuntu [17:35] Gwiz, you can easily install a new de with lubuntu-desktop package then choose at login [17:35] michaelaguiar, depending on the router, you can check the traffic log and see the mac address and what IP/site they are going to [17:35] how do i install video driver? i just got ubuntu for the first time in many years [17:35] I doubt that michaelaguiar, but you can get ip pretty easy if its no hardware firewall before it. [17:35] Oh I wasn't aware of that, thank you bazhang [17:35] Kelli: wich gfx you got? [17:35] Gwiz: Ah good idea. Where are traffic logs located? [17:35] I figured out how to enable workspaces thank you. [17:35] amd [17:35] Gwiz, any of the -desktop packages, in fact [17:36] michaelaguiar, depends on the router you use. I use a watchguard so I have to connect to i through software and use system manager. Best to google your router's model for admin guide and check there. [17:36] Gwiz: My router is actually just an ubuntu machine [17:36] Oh, then I have no idea :P [17:37] I'm new to ubuntu myself [17:37] try load fglrx Kelli [17:37] as module. [17:37] i have no idea what that even means [17:37] sudo modprobe fglrx [17:38] hello! I am running Ubuntu 14.10 stock and would like to install GNOME3 [17:38] Kelli: go to "system settings" then software and updates, then last tab and see if it offers prop. drivers [17:38] gnome-shell TheXenith [17:39] k1l, ok thats way easier to figure out [17:39] TheXenith: install "gnome-shell" logout and then choose gnome on the login screen [17:40] k1l, i have 3 options, using x.org X server open source, using proprietary from fglrx and proprietary from fglrx-updates [17:40] thank you bazhang and k1l [17:40] which of the 3 do i want?

[18:04] Im on LTS btw [18:05] i changed my settings to clear session on exit and start new session on startup, i am able to keep the classic kickoff menu as i thought that was causing it at first [18:05] but it is either the window decoration engine itself or just the plastik theme [18:05] or a bug in kwin or something im not too sure [18:06] using standard buttons im able to logout and login just fine, so im not too bummed, i just like my classic xperience =p [18:06] You can try #ubuntu-kde fspkwon91 [18:07] so install the ubuntu settings for KDE?

[19:05] lubuntu is just insufficient on a high end device [19:05] b43, your first option would be Ubuntu, 14.04.1 [19:06] simosx, thx for quick reply, does that come with the full apps and suites already, or they still need to be installed from synaptics? [19:06] quick question. I'm building a new PC and wondering how AMD/ATI support is these days... I can remember from 4/5 years back that I had to get a nVidia because otherwise ubuntu/linux wouldn't have good support... [19:07] b43: Lubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu/ubuntu all share the same app database, so they'll all all share the the same apps, but you may need to install them on whichever desktop you decide suits you [19:07] b43, 'synaptic' is not used/recommended anymore for package management purposes. There is the Software Centre, which has all sort of apps. [19:08] b43, there is a repository in the Software Centre called 'partner', that when enabled, has apps like Skype. === James is now known as Guest97987 [19:08] djones, ok got it [19:09] simosx, im tryin to find one where i dont have to manually install office suites, pdf editors, and other software, is there one or is it wishful thinkin? [19:09] its a high end device, gaming unit [19:10] b43, since you mention a new PC, your best best is to use 'Ubuntu'. Office Suite, PDF reader and other software are preinstalled. If they are not, you can easily install them from the Software Centre (it's the App Store for Ubuntu). [19:12] simosx, ok so regular ubuntu, because i started with lubuntu n it barely comes with anything, superfast bootin n loadin time, but i have to install so much [19:13] b43, that would be my recommendation.

[19:57] well. to be sure you could boot into your favorite ubuntu and see "mount" there [19:57] sdb2 sdb3 sdb7 would be amazing to have as a place to further expand my ubuntu 14 installation [19:57] nvidia package depends on lightdm | gdm | kdm .. is there any way to uninstall lightdm completely without forcing another graphical login manager to be installed? [19:57] terratian: sdb3 is a extended one. its like a container where 5,6,7 are put in. [19:57] is my assumption correct about the astrix [19:58] k1l_ i see [19:58] terratian: the asterisk is the boot flag. but ubuntu doesnt use that flag at all. i would boot into it and see what exact partition is mounted as / to be sure [19:58] hi, do you guys have any idea what problem im having with samba, i cant connect localy using 192.. only using localhost or 127.0.01 [19:59] post exact command you try and error message [19:59] smbclient -U guest //192.168.147/movies [19:59] NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL [19:59] you're missing an octet there [20:00] sdb7 is where ubuntu 14 is installed [20:00] the ip is not completed [20:01] terratian: Since you're messing with partitions, you should have a backup. Since you have a backup, you can simply repartition the drive, format, and restore. [20:01] hmm correct, thanks [20:01] now i just need to get it working from my client... [20:01] jhutchins ? [20:02] terratian: There really isn't a way to merge live filesystems. [20:03] could someone tell me if I am able to bulk rename folders using the rename command? [20:03] terratian: You can grow or shrink them, but you can only grow them if there is adjacent free space. [20:03] OShobbit: yes [20:03] ok so how do I get it to know I want folders renamed? [20:03] terratian: If you had set them up in LVM you could join two partitions together into one space, but you couldn't save the data on them. [20:03] oh so i cant make free space before the installation [20:04] I have the Intel n2840 SoC with an integrated Max98090 audio driver ... I can play audio, but I cannot change the volume ... could you please advice me where I can start debugging this issue from? [20:04] terratian: this is on a harddisk, right? [20:04] i cant make some sort of link to my home directory that ubunut14 installs data to [20:04] jhutchins, thats good, so how do I get it to know I want folders renamed? [20:04] yes [20:05] k1l_ i am booted currently on usb looking at hd [20:05] OShobbit: usual usage applies [20:06] smbclient -U guest //192.168.1.147/movies [20:06] terratian: did you confirm what you thought? because you will need to erase some partitions. [20:06] On my laptop gives: [20:06] NT_STATUS_INVALID_NETWORK_RESPONSE [20:06] david1: is guest mode enabled? [20:06] david1 can you ping it? [20:07] where can i post a screenshot of gparted [20:07] ping you mean? it responds [20:07] i want to erase some partitions [20:07] terratian: imgur.com [20:07] smbclient -L //192.168.1.147 -U% ------- also fails [20:08] that suggests your host is not responding [20:08] (or responding with a good response) [20:09] wierd [20:09] http://imgur.com/mzd3uNQ [20:09] What ubuntu is the next LTS? [20:09] 16.04 [20:10] azizLIGHT that's in april 2016 [20:10] david1: I believe samba still uses a "listen" directive that tells it what address to listen on. [20:10] this is what gparted shows http://imgur.com/mzd3uNQ [20:11] Ah ok [20:11] I thought it was 15.04 for some reason [20:11] default is * all interfaces [20:11] terratian: Do you have backups in case you kill the wrong partition? [20:11] so the "bind" parameter needs to be set to lock it to an interface [20:11] As long as i dont destroy the ntfs i really dont care [20:12] i dont have a way to back that data up [20:12] terratian: Then you need to back up the NTFS. [20:12] i suppose i need to reinstall [20:13] Must be a way to do what I am trying [20:13] i hate manually setting up partitioning [20:13] for install [20:13] terratian: i dont know what linux partition is what ubuntu etc [20:13] terratian: as i said, its you to sort that out. [20:14] sdb7 is ubuntu 14 [20:14] everything else is irrelevant besides ntfs partition [20:14] it's not irrelevant [20:14] changing 1 partition has an impact on the others [20:14] does ubuntu not have symlinks [20:15] what does symlinks have to do with anything ? [20:15] terratian: if you want you could erase sdb2, then increase the sdb3 which is the exxtended one. then increase the sdb7 one. [20:16] my language for computers is weak but cant i somehow 'tell' ubuntu to install software in free space other than on the home partition [20:17] terratian: you setup there is quite strange anyway. imho ditch the old ubuntus you dont use anyway and make one proper install with enough space for a daily usage [20:17] /EXEC rm -vf /home/sm/.xchat2/buduscript/tmp/budus_XDCC_2040.query [20:19] terratian: +1 k1l_ :; Unless you also resize the Windows'partition 'sdb1' still will have a very small partition for ubuntu . I see often recommended the least for ubuntu 30 gigs. [20:21] can i resize the windows partition without destroying data [20:21] theoretically: yes. but as we know murphys law: better have a backup :) [20:22] terratian: There is ALWAYS that risk of data loss in moving partitions. Back up Windows prior to resizing ( defrag X2, check disk X2 ) . [20:22] my apt-mirror script isn't fully working - it is throwing up a lot of errors saying it can't find a file, yet I can wget that exact file from the sytem that is running apt-mirror. for examplem, on of the files it can't find is ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu//dists/utopic/main/debian-installer/binary-amd64/Packages.gz [20:22] i fly by the seat of my pants, i suppose i will re-install resize windows and do it right [20:22] x2? [20:23] terratian: Twice = X2 .. makes sure Windows' partition table is intact and accurate. [20:23] terratian sometimes it's better to start over, instead of reparing things [20:24] terratian and always backup first, before you start changing partitions === vito is now known as Guest42822 [20:29] hi === ivo is now known as Guest64545 [20:29] hi guys [20:29] hi sm_ [20:29] term command for defrag and chkdsk?

[20:48] MonkeyDust, i opened the file [20:48] now what? [20:48] Change is greyed out only plus sign [20:49] terratian: only if you choose the lvm oprtion, if one appears [20:49] OERIAS ok, now paste this line in the list inode/directory=nemo.desktop [20:49] terratian: What features of LVM do you plan to use? [20:49] that wants to delete my ntfs file systme which has data [20:49] on default or add applications? [20:49] i need help setting up mount points [20:49] OERIAS guess it doesnt matter where [20:50] hey [20:50] I just assumed lvm was something i would want to do [20:50] restart unity or restart nemo? [20:50] when installing ubuntu 15.04 the installation gets stuck at "creating ext4 partitiont" [20:50] terratian: I like the idea of keeping things simple and not adding things you're not going to actually use. [20:50] i am using an ssd and it doesnt have any bad sectors [20:50] OERIAS logout and in again [20:50] help is appreciated [20:50] terratian: Homework time. LVM = Logical Volume Management. What other 'volumes' are you going to make available for LVM to set up on ? LVM can be a steep learning curve, sure you want to go there ?

For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [20:51] feliwir: 15.04 is still not stable. use #ubuntu+1 please [20:51] steep learning curves equals me screwing up my ntfs data... [20:51] thank you MonkeyDust [20:51] yeah, but i saw this error for older versions aswell [20:51] OERIAS works? [20:51] let me try [20:51] OERIAS thank me if it works [20:52] my question becomes what mount points do i need to create and what sizes, the free space on this drive needs ubuntu [20:52] http://imgur.com/Mpsb5kq [20:52] terratian: For a general purpose system I would keep one main partition and swap. Keep it simple. [20:53] so set the mount point to home [20:53] MonkeyDust, no luck [20:53] terratian: If you chop the system up in to partitions you pretty much guarantee that you will eventually run out of space on one and have plenty on another. [20:53] no, set the mount point to root / [20:53] It still launches nautilus [20:53] what is a genrous amount for swap? [20:53] terratian: Yep, what vivid said, set it to / [20:53] generous would be the amount of ram available i would say [20:53] terratian: 2X ram to 2GB, 1X for 4 or above. [20:54] i have 4gb of ram so set swap to 8gb [20:54] terratian: You need at least as much swap as RAM if you're going to suspend to disk. [20:54] OERIAS then maybe in dconf editor, moment [20:54] the rest goes to root? [20:54] swap=ram if you want swap for hibernation. [20:55] terratian: Yep. [20:55] here we go!!!! [20:55] Managing more than 4G of swap is cumbersome, I usually don't go higher than that even if there's more ram. [20:55] type should be ticked to logical or primary? [20:56] terratian: primary [20:56] OERIAS install dconf-editor [20:56] specifically should i set primary for swap first or root? [20:57] it doesnt matter [20:57] ok [20:57] MonkeyDust, dconf-editor is already insalled [20:58] OERIAS great, but nvm... read this.. http://www.fandigital.com/2013/01/set-nemo-default-file-manager-ubuntu.html [20:58] terratian: I would suggest that '/' be set as primary . ( can have a max of 4 primary partitions, one of which mey be an 'extended' partition) . then make up the extended partition and in this extended partition make up the swap partition . // only a suggestion . [20:59] http://imgur.com/Q7t4WVO [21:00] MonkeyDust, yes I did follow that tutorial [21:00] it manages the desktop [21:00] but nautilus still performs some actions [21:01] OERIAS yes, same here [21:01] moment [21:02] sorry to ask the same thing twice, but can I have an example of how rename can be used to change folder names? [21:03] OShobbit: In the time you've been asking you could probably have renamed all of the folders manually, or just tried the command to see for yourself. [21:03] terratian: Looks maybe doable, I do reserve judgement as I see '/' as sdb5 , rather than as expected 'sdb3' . Do not know what transpired there ! 3 primary partitions will work . [21:04] I switched it / comes first now follwed by 4gb swap [21:05] it was sdb5 probably because he selected at end of drive [21:06] Partition numbering is not necessarily in physical order on the disk. [21:08] OERIAS what is "some actions" for you? [21:08] hello, when I use apt-get install it install automaticcaly without saying yes or no. how to disable this? [21:08] why cant i change my desktop environment on login in the unity greeter in ubuntu 14.04? [21:09] click the ubuntu logo next to the login line [21:09] it's an edited ubuntu server i think (by edited i mean configuration, default installed packages etc...) [21:09] vivid: there is none [21:09] Exagone313: if it only installs that one pacakge there is no question about that [21:09] ? [21:09] when i use apt-get install at home or on my others server it does not do this === digifiv5e is now known as Guest39742 [21:10] MonkeyDust, like put in an optical disk, or opening the rubbish bin, or when an application give you the option to show a file via file manager.

[21:13] Exagone313: Did you change the apt configuration? [21:14] Exagone313: If what you're installing is an exact match with no dependencies it assumes that you wanted to install it and doesn't bug you. [21:14] Exagone313: If it does pull dependencies or is not an exact match it should ask. [21:14] OERIAS ok, open dconf editor and go to org nemo preferences [21:14] ok there was no dependencies [21:15] ok thanks [21:15] OERIAS havent found it yet, tho [21:15] oh, it reappeared after i installed a second desktop environment [21:15] hi [21:16] I wish Ubuntu would have nemo as default [21:16] OERIAS everyone has different wishes [21:17] true. [21:17] hi every one [21:19] OERIAS it says here, it *can* be done, but not easily, you'd have to purge and reinstall nautilus, after nemo is installed http://askubuntu.com/questions/391230/how-to-remove-nautilus-without-screwing-up-unity [21:20] Hi everyone - I currently have ubuntu installed to a portable HDD, sort of a as a portable diagnostics system. Eventually, one of my computers will be getting a new HDD. My question is, can I boot from this portable HDD, then run the Ubuntu installer from the live desktop to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu to the new HDD? [21:22] MonkeyDust, that's what i figured.

[23:12] ubuntu-fr [23:14] really? [23:19] <_com_> i have no hdmi-output since yesterday. maybe there are some modules not loaded. but i don't know how to proof. [23:26] is it possible to disable visualizations in ubuntu? I have a laptop with i7 cpu but apparently the graphics card is not strong enough to handle the fade-in/out animations of the GUI windows. I am running ubuntu with virtualbox and I installed the virtualbox app using apt-get, but i am still getting very slow fadein/out animations. === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [23:28] so its ubuntu inside the virtualbox? [23:28] did you install the guest-additions there? [23:28] k1l_: yes [23:29] Arnie25, checked the settings, has the GPU the max memory ? that can solve those issues, also enable 3d [23:29] i installed: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 [23:29] ok let me check [23:31] OerHeks: total memory available is 128mb === SonicStar is now known as SubCool [23:31] should I give it half? [23:32] don't use fade in/out [23:33] you're running a virtual machine. it will NEVER have the same performance [23:33] how do i disable fadein/out? [23:34] that would be in the guest OS settings somewhere [23:38] hello there, is there a way to remove an unwanted wifi network from your available networks list? it is constantly auto-connected as the first one. [23:38] I mean remove permanently [23:39] ubuntu wont recognize my samsung galaxy proclaim (SCH-S720C) [23:43] howdy [23:43] Using Ubuntu 14.10, is anyone else experiencing a double login / log off ? Example, I go up to top right and shutdown, then a few seconds later the main Ubuntu logon screen comes on and have to click the power/ shutdown again to shut down...Sound familiar? [23:43] oj [23:44] u [23:46] hey all. i am having trouble installing ubuntu. everything works fine until the ifnal step, the bootloader. no matter what i choose, it says "failed" [23:46] LordDragon: computer details? [23:46] i tried my windows drive, the 2nd hdd i isntalled ubuntu to [23:46] sda is windows 8.1 [23:46] sdab is storage media hdd [23:47] sdc is ssd i am installin gubuntu to [23:47] LorDragon: do you mean grub error ? [23:47] yes [23:47] 'gubuntu' ? [23:47] grub-install fails [23:47] daftykins: typo :) [23:47] so windows 8.1 is EFI installed? [23:47] yes [23:47] and you booted ubuntu media in EFI mode? [23:48] uh. nope. how do i do that? [23:48] ohh wait i think i ight know [23:48] !uefi | LordDragon Check here [23:48] LordDragon Check here: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [23:48] wow i never thought there was sa difference booting "usb drive" and "EFI: usb drive" [23:48] sure is [23:48] wow that explains it [23:49] btw where is the best place to put the bootloader? windows drive? id like to be able to use windows bootloader to do it [23:49] you must boot EFI and make sure you're selecting the small FAT EFI partition on sda and make it Ubuntu's /boot, the installer should do this for you [23:49] LordDragon: Windows to pass to GRUB? mmmmm no. [23:50] LordDragon: what do you mean by windows bootloader? [23:50] BCD [23:50] i think thats what its called [23:50] LordDragon: concentrate on making it work right once, first [23:51] then you may mess to your hearts content :) but on your own time [23:51] ok boot efi mode. gonna resinatll now [23:51] ok [23:54] LordDragon: i can't see how booting in non uefi mode would cause grub to fail, it would try to install grub to the mbr, and create a bios-boot partition [23:54] hmm i dunno [23:54] Hello... I am experimenting with an Ubuntu livecd... it is Ubuntu 14.10 on a Yoga 3 (nonpro)... I booted onto the livecd (on a usb stick) and played with it some last night... I then closed/slept the device until this morning... just i took it out and turned it on, the screen was black and the mouse cursor was visible, and i couldn't do anything or click on anything... [23:54] i can see it failing if you booted in efi mode and you actually used msdos usually [23:54] i then closed it again, opened it again and pressed a keyboard key, and the screen came back... [23:55] LordDragon: are you still in the installation process or [23:55] yes [23:55] this is very odd... have you ever seen anything like this, do you know i there might have been a way out of that? [23:55] its installing now [23:55] ok [23:55] daftykins: so even though sda is my windows drive, i want to choose that for bootloader? [23:55] mcc: no point even trying to comment on a live session on a modern laptop. [23:56] daftykins: okay. you anticipate an installed copy would work better? [23:56] LordDragon: EFI works with a FAT partition for EFI boot at the start of the disk, this is where an EFI booted Ubuntu would place boot files. [23:57] LordDragon: it is nothing like legacy boot, wherein GRUB can be places elsewhere and just a boot sector point to the relevant place [23:57] daftykins: ok so its automatic then [23:57] yep completeed with no errors [23:57] woot [23:57] it *might* be automatic [23:57] :> [23:57] mcc: well for one thing an installed copy can install updates [23:58] mcc: but i would try 14.04.1 first, not 14.10 necessarily - have you googled online for success on that model? [23:58] and im in :) [23:58] now to install nvidia drivers [23:59] hey....how to install skype in xubuntu [23:59] daftykins: i guess i don't know... it seems surprising to me that an older ubuntu might work better? :O [23:59] so i dont suppose there is a handy dandy apt-get install i can do for the latest nvidia driver? [23:59] LordDragon: not latest no, what card is this? [23:59] nvidia gtx 970
