[00:00] <daftykins> LordDragon: google xorg-edgers, read the guide on how to install it as a source (tip: it begins with "sudo add-apt-repository..." then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-346"
[00:01] <LordDragon> daftykins: i was just gonna download it from nvidia and boot into advanced mode and install it from command line
[00:01] <daftykins> LordDragon: nope. terrible idea
[00:01] <daftykins> also that's all wrong even if you did take that approach
[00:02] <LordDragon> daftykins: it worked perfectly in the past...
[00:03] <daftykins> here's my favourite phrase in IT: just because it works, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
[00:03] <LordDragon> daftykins: ok so what would you recommend then  for the latest drivers?
[00:03] <daftykins> there's no need to reboot into some other mode to do it that way, anyway i've suggested a better one so chop chop :>
[00:03] <Ben64> look up a few lines
[00:03] <daftykins> i already told you.
[00:06] <b43> anybody have any idea how to load lxle on a tablet, not virtual, to replace the existing os
[00:06] <daftykins> tablets aren't really relevant to this channel
[00:07] <daftykins> #ubuntu-touch might be more relevant, or perhaps #ubuntu-arm
[00:07] <b43> ok daftykins, switching over
[00:11] <LordDragon> daftykins: "unable to locate package nvidia-346"
[00:12] <LordDragon> oopsie
[00:12] <LordDragon> forgot a step sorrry
[00:13] <daftykins> :P
[00:13] <LordDragon> out of curiosity, why is xorg edgers a better source of drivers than nvidia?
[00:13] <daftykins> PPA based = updates
[00:13] <daftykins> manual download = none
[00:14] <LordDragon> are updates automatic? or do i have to check occasionally?
[00:14] <OerHeks> With a new kernel you have to reinstall the manual nvidiadriver.33
[00:14] <daftykins> LordDragon: you don't seem too new to Ubuntu, so how come you're not sure how package updates work? :)
[00:15] <popey> daftykins: -touch is really only for phone/tablet - yoga 3 that b43 has is technially just a pc with a touch screen
[00:15] <LordDragon> well i am. i just didnt know if this was something stand alone
[00:15] <daftykins> popey: i don't believe that user was the one referring to a yoga 3?
[00:15] <popey> he was
[00:15] <popey> turned up in -touch
[00:16] <daftykins> popey: oh ok, another user was too - that one said only 'tablet - my bad.
[00:16] <daftykins> * 'tablet'
[00:16]  * mcc is a she, and daftykins was addressing someone else
[00:16] <daftykins> perhaps it's just a coincidence that you both had yoga 3s
[00:16] <daftykins> very rare chances that 0o
[00:16] <mcc> oh! ok
[00:17]  * mcc shrugs. i guess they did just come out
[00:17] <daftykins> is it the broadwell one?
[00:17] <mcc> yeah
[00:17] <mcc> yoga 3 pro and yoga 3 are both broadwell, the difference between 3 and 3 pro are very unclear to me
[00:18] <_com_> can anyone support me? i have no hdmi output (video). thanks.
[00:19] <popey> daftykins: maybe I'm also bad, seems multiple variety of that thing
[00:19] <LordDragon> daftykins: dont suppose you know an easy gui way to set refresh rate to 120 instead of xrandr command line?
[00:19] <daftykins> popey: hehe, no worries though - i'll try and hold fire on pointing people the wrong way :) devices are getting so confusing now it's tough to know what goes where 0o
[00:20] <mcc> anyway uh one way or another i got this yoga 3, it's like a laptop that you can bend over and use like a tablet, i'm trying to figure out if any linux distributions would do "something sensible" with the touchscreen
[00:20] <daftykins> LordDragon: oh, install the nvidia-settings package too, run that and see if it offers anything. i don't think it does, so there are roughly a million guides online
[00:20] <mcc> and i hear ubuntu is trying real hard on touchscreen support
[00:20] <popey> wow, coincidence
[00:20] <popey> what are the chances of that!
[00:20] <daftykins> :D
[00:21] <daftykins> it's one o' those days.
[00:21] <bren> Yeah, all about that silly convergence.
[00:21] <daftykins> my birthday too ;_;
[00:21] <mcc> and i am out of touch on desktop linux so i am just trying to work out where to start
[00:21] <daftykins> well i would think a live session would show the touchscreen working if it's meant to
[00:22] <daftykins> but to be quite honest, buying latest model laptops designed for Windows and wanting to run Linux is extremely risky.
[00:22] <mcc> touchscreen doesn't work at all in live.
[00:22] <mcc> yeah, i'm sure.
[00:22] <bren> ubuntu is definitely your best bet for touchscreen compatibility. i wouldn't think it risky though.
[00:22] <mcc> well, apparently the yoga 3s didn't work with wifi in ubuntu until like two weeks ago or something? D:
[00:23] <daftykins> bren: misunderstanding of my wording
[00:23] <lorddragon_> ok. easier to type here
[00:23] <daftykins> risky in the sense that expecting bleeding edge hardware to run out of the box = no no
[00:23] <bren> Ohh, gotcha.
[00:23] <mcc> i'm just playing around right now.
[00:23] <lorddragon_> 1920x1080+0+0
[00:23] <lorddragon_> is one of those 0 values the refresh rate?
[00:24] <daftykins> lorddragon_: you seem to be somewhat ignoring what i'm saying and spamming us with details out of context regardless :)
[00:24] <lorddragon_> daftykins, i dont mean too. i saw you say "theres lots of guides on the internet"
[00:25] <daftykins> yes
[00:25] <daftykins> /var/log/Xorg.0.log will likely confirm it's picking 60Hz
[00:25] <daftykins> i've seen it 10 times in 10, for these people with their funny high-refresh screens
[00:26] <lorddragon_> i went through this several weeks back. theres no nvidia setting. and after lots of google, i found an xrandr command that worked. and then i added the command to run automatically. i was just wondering if there was an easier way
[00:26] <daftykins> why didn't you say that to start with?
[00:26] <daftykins> no there isn't :)
[00:27] <lorddragon_> ah ok. well thats why i was asking. heh. ok now to find where i put that command
[00:27] <daftykins> pass.
[00:27] <daftykins> i would find the correct line to put in xorg.conf if it were me
[00:28] <daftykins> as per the many guides online mentioned
[00:33] <lorddragon_> wow something is wonky with chrome
[00:33] <lorddragon_> when its running and i try to resize windows, its gets super laggy. window just freezes for a few seconds at a time
[00:33] <mcc> hey, one more question. are kubuntu, lubuntu, and ubuntu really all that different? is it possible to switch between them on an existing install by just changing package repositories or whatever?
[00:34] <daftykins> yes, by installing different desktop environment (DE) packages
[00:34] <daftykins> so no, they're just ISOs with different defaults
[00:34] <mcc> Cool.
[00:34] <daftykins> but if you try to just install each you'll like get into a really messed up state very quickly
[00:34] <mcc> Does Kubuntu run its own package server, or ppa or whatever?
[00:34] <mcc> OK, makes sense
[00:34] <daftykins> mcc: best approach, from Windows, download YUMI from pendrivelinux.com , download all 3 ISOs and then you can test boot each and see which you like
[00:35]  * mcc nods
[00:35] <daftykins> maybe even 4, i'd say ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, then lubuntu last
[00:35] <mcc> i've been playing with something called unetbootin... will look at the pendrive thing :O
[00:35] <mcc> just ran the "Elementary OS" ISO and it wouldn't even boot >_>
[00:36] <daftykins> unetbootin is quite terrible
[00:36] <mcc> thank you for th ehelp
[00:36] <daftykins> no problemo
[00:36] <mcc> daftykins: it hasn't been working very well, honestly.
[00:36] <sarkesh> hello
[00:36] <bren> Rufus is the best program for the job imo
[00:36] <lorddragon_> hmm did xorg.conf move?
[00:36] <lorddragon_> i dont see it at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:36] <mcc> bren: how does rufus differ from yumi?
[00:37] <mcc> i should probably note at this point i am totally new to pc platform, all my previous linux experience has been on VPS or macs
[00:37] <sarkesh> rufus does not work to burn ubuntu 14.10 iso file on usb
[00:38] <mcc> so the windows end of all this is also sort of new to me also
[00:38] <daftykins> no idea whether rufus allows *multiple* ISOs on the same disk at once, providing a menu
[00:38] <daftykins> whereas i can guarantee YUMI runs in Windows and does.
[00:38] <satdav> Hi is Jenkins packaged in with Ubuntu
[00:38] <daftykins> !info jenkins
[00:38] <daftykins> !find jenkins
[00:38] <daftykins> no idea.
[00:39] <lorddragon_> thats odd. i always remember there being an xorg.conf file already made. i guess i gotta manually create it in this case?
[00:40] <daftykins> yes, there isn't one normally
[00:40] <daftykins> hasn't been for many years.
[00:40] <lorddragon_> ah. i always used the nvidia installer. maybe it created one all the time and i never noticed
[00:41] <daftykins> yeah, runs nvidia-xconfig
[00:42] <lorddragon_> ahh ok
[00:42] <lorddragon_> thanks
[00:48] <favyi> How to split larger 7z files to parts 1.2.3    ?
[00:49] <daftykins> spanned archives, dunno - also 7zip isn't really a Linux standard
[00:49] <favyi> ????
[00:50] <EriC^^> favyi: try split
[00:51] <EriC^^> favyi: try it out first and see if it works
[00:52] <favyi> EriC^^>whats the command line syntax  ?
[00:53] <OerHeks> favyi, install p7zip-full > 7zip -v ... http://superuser.com/a/184601
[00:53] <EriC^^> split -b <bytes per part> <file> i think
[00:54] <bruxC> so I'm extending my external drive. I'm really nervous; I don't want to destroy any data. I'm under the impression cfdisk is what to use.. I've gotten as far as sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb1 but I"m not sure which option to choose. I'm guessing [ Units ] is the way to go?
[00:54] <OerHeks> carefull, 7z does not preserve  file ownership
[00:54] <daftykins> bruxC: why extend? did you make the partition the wrong size originally?
[00:54] <bruxC> daftykins, fair question. I use esxi so I allocated more storage in the datastore the external drive runs on.
[00:55] <bruxC> I'm starting to run low on the existing drive and I'd like to extend it.
[00:55] <bruxC> (which I have)
[00:55] <satdav> !eggdrop
[00:55] <daftykins> bruxC: ah so VM. boot live session then use gparted to resize, done.
[00:55] <satdav> !info eggdrop
[00:55] <bruxC> not to be too difficult
[00:56] <bruxC> but I'd like to try via cli
[00:56] <daftykins> you shouldn't do it whilst mounted anyway
[00:56] <daftykins> but fair enough, you're on your own there though.
[00:56] <EriC^^> use cat to join them again cat file1 file 2 > file
[00:57] <bruxC> I can always umount
[01:03] <jawny> For some reason I cant use the arrow keys to navagate in the pdf viewer
[01:04] <jawny> I think I might've accidentally clicked on some option, anyone know any way to change this back to normal?
[01:16] <platz> nvidia package depends on lightdm | gdm | kdm .. is there any way to uninstall lightdm completely without forcing another graphical login manager to be installed?
[01:18] <EriC^^> platz: what's your end goal?
[01:20] <platz> EriC^^: i had to override lightdm in /etc/init to get back to terminal on login.. but i'm getting some wierd errors on login with systemd-logind, and was just trying to eliminate stuff starting up that was not necessary
[01:21] <platz> there's some systemd-shim thing and I thought lightdm put that there too
[01:22] <EriC^^> did you try adding "text" to the kernel line?
[01:23] <Ben64> i don't think systemd is supported yet
[01:23] <DrBenway> anyone has noticed some screen tearing with unity and intel hd 4000?
[01:23] <platz> EriC^^: I don't think so, but it is booting to the terminal, just with stuff like this
[01:24] <EriC^^> maybe that would stop them from booting, who knows
[01:24] <platz> " stuff like this
[01:24] <platz>  [01:23:58] [platz(+i)] [5:freenode/#ubuntu(+CLcfjnt)]
[01:25] <platz> ah,, i'll look around though, thanks
[01:27] <physixer> I added a ppa (apt-add-repository) from which I need packages that are in ubuntu-main as well (but older version). I apt-get update, and install the package. It installs the ubuntu-main one. Need help installing individual package or packages from given repository (already added). help
[01:27] <EriC^^> platz: nvidia depends on lightdm for certain stuff?
[01:27] <wizkidsafo> Greetings, So I have this problem where when I do something simple as browsing the internet my desktop freezes and the screen dims as if its about to power the screen off My  specs->  http://gyazo.com/ca5361f6c77f31d9759a0d3a1b3828bf
[01:28] <wizkidsafo> any tips/
[01:28] <daftykins> physixer: i think it's package:version
[01:29] <physixer> daftykins: ok but I dont' know the version number, just that it's more recent, can I query packages and versions for a given ppa?
[01:29] <EriC^^> platz: if it doesn't depend on certain stuff provided by lightdm, and if you uninstall lightdm nvidia gets uninstalled too maybe you can force install it even if lightdm isn't there?
[01:30] <daftykins> physixer: they may have a site you can visit and read, otherwise have you tried apt-cache policy/showpkg <package> ?
[01:32] <physixer> daftykins: I did apt-cache policy and that's how I found out that it installed the trusty/universe package
[01:33] <Ben64> physixer: pick the version from synaptic
[01:34] <platz> nvidia depends on lightdm, trying to uninstall lightdm forces it to ask you to install one of the other login managers (gdm,kdm etc)
[01:34] <Ben64> platz: do you not want graphics?
[01:35] <platz> I don't want to run a graphical login manager, i just want to boot to terminal and start x manually
[01:36] <EriC^^> platz: "text" in the kernel line does that
[01:36] <phoenixz> So every now and then I have some weird runaway process that starts using memory like nuts (yes chrome, I'm looking at you).. This goes so fast that my kswap daemon will just completely freeze my computer until no memory is available anymore.. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? like, hey, a process wants 6GB memory? kill...
[01:38] <bren> Has anyone ever gotten Everpad to work? I've tried it on multiple systems with Ubuntu and it always crashes.
[01:40] <platz> EriC^^: sounds good. I'll also continue using the init override method.  Just don't understand the assumptions behind some of these dependencies
[01:40] <EriC^^> ubuntu is designed to be used with lightdm
[01:41] <EriC^^> platz: you should be able to remove lightdm though
[01:42] <EriC^^> if you it's nvidia thats making it ask to install another dm you could uninstall nvidia then uninstall lightdm
[01:42] <EriC^^> and maybe force nvidia to install without lightdm
[01:42] <platz> is there an option to suppress a dependency?
[01:42] <platz> when installing
[01:43] <EriC^^> there should be something like force install or something
[01:44] <daftykins> install --no-dependencies ?
[01:44] <platz> nvidia-331 depends on nvidia-prime, then http://packages.ubuntu/utopic/nvidia-prime those deps
[01:45] <Endoresu> hello
[01:45] <EriC^^> platz: if you wanted you could make your own dummy lightdm package
[01:45] <platz> hrm.. --no-install-recommends seems interesting
[01:45] <mcc> Hey so I tried YUMI as recommended... i want to install a unlisted ISO, from my hard drive... it gives me two options... "unlisted ISO (via SYSLINUX)" and "unlisted ISO (via GRUB)"
[01:45] <EriC^^> there should be a force install though
[01:45] <mcc> also "unlisted ISO via grub from RAM"
[01:46] <mcc> does anyone know what the difference between the SYSLINUX and GRUB options are for these purposes? is the idea it's gonna install GRUB on the usb stick…?
[01:47] <Endoresu> Anyone get a fix for the bluetooth issue of not seeing devices?
[01:47] <EriC^^> platz: dpkg has a force option that turns dependency problems to warnings
[01:47] <Endoresu> ubuntu 14.04
[01:47] <sheena1> anyone know how i'd find a support chat for spreadsheet work? googling is not helpful, i just get irc-rooms' spreadsheets!
[01:47] <mart> windows ftw
[01:47] <daftykins> mcc: has a list of distros does it not? you pick the one you're loading then pick the ISO.
[01:47] <platz> EriC^^: that looks promising!  Thanks
[01:48] <EriC^^> platz: dpkg --force-depends
[01:48] <daftykins> sheena1: what about looking for a libre office one?
[01:48] <mcc> i see
[01:48] <sheena1> daftykins: you mean general "libreoffice irc" ?
[01:48] <daftykins> sheena1: either way, go and use the alis bot - #ubuntu is not a personal freenode directory
[01:49] <sheena1> daftykins: alis bot? is that something online, or inside of the irc chat?
[01:49] <sheena1> daftykins: sorry to be a pain, i could have just asked my spreadsheet question and probably gotten a reply, though :(
[01:49] <daftykins> sheena1: /msg alis hi
[01:49] <daftykins> sheena1: maybe, not the most relevant thing in here though :>
[01:52] <agallego> so i'm running this on the latest ubuntu (upstart script) can't figure out why i can't set bash vars inside https://gist.github.com/senior7515/d2f832d0336ccaaf1b64 any tips? (different channel maybe?)
[01:53] <sheena1> daftykins: i'm still trying to get my old thinkpad to boot from a liveusb without success, if that's more on topic and you have ideas! :)
[01:54] <TeddyMurray> what is the best way to copy a cloud server that's ubuntu to a vm on my local machine?
[01:56] <platz> TeddyMurray: azure lets you download the image if you're using that
[01:56] <daftykins> TeddyMurray: contact your provider and ask them i think
[01:56] <TeddyMurray> cool
[01:56] <TeddyMurray> nope, im using digital ocean
[01:58] <daftykins> yeah you pay them, not us :)
[01:58] <TeddyMurray> <3
[01:59] <daftykins> (seriously they have a pretty good wiki iirc)
[01:59] <TeddyMurray> i know they don't provide a way to do it, was wondering if there was a software option for it
[01:59] <TeddyMurray> like, i heard about vagrant but i dont know how it works
[02:06] <nilesh> LTS 14.04 desktop does not boot on UEFI hardware with legacy partitioning?
[02:06] <nilesh> 'switching to clocksource tsc'
[02:06] <nilesh> that's where it hangs
[02:07] <nilesh> can someone explain me what is the relation between UEFI and clocksource?!
[02:09] <daftykins> nilesh: are you trying to boot in EFI or legacy mode?
[02:09] <nilesh> legacy of course
[02:09] <nilesh> the hardware supports both
[02:09] <nilesh> It's a official ubuntu certified dell laptop
[02:09] <daftykins> there is no 'of course' in this department, trust me.
[02:09] <daftykins> latest BIOS?
[02:10] <nilesh> I'm not sure about that... we just got the laptops and it came with precise pangolin
[02:10] <nilesh> I tried to install trusty via ISO it worked, which installed with GPT and EFI... but another installation with MBR doesn't boot
[02:10] <daftykins> lshw -C memory | pastebinit
[02:10] <daftykins> also, 14.04.1 ISO i hope
[02:10] <nilesh> yes
[02:11] <nilesh> the MBR installation was done directly using apt-get using a PXE installer (fai-project.org)
[02:11] <nilesh> everything installed fine, except that the kernel doesn't boot
[02:12] <daftykins> did it update during install? i guess PXE installs might not do that
[02:12] <schallenterprize> hello
[02:12] <nilesh> fai-project.org directly downloaded DEBs from archive.ubuntu.com
[02:12] <nilesh> it works using debootstrap
[02:12] <nilesh> so it's the latest
[02:12] <daftykins> i would prefer precise answers rather than stories :)
[02:13] <daftykins> try an older then, or come back with the info requested above
[02:13] <nilesh> well, what would you like to know more about the PXE installation?
[02:13] <daftykins> tbh PXE is at your own risk, so i'd rather only hear results for a direct flash drive-based ISO install first up
[02:13] <nilesh> to answer your question, I installed Precise via PXE and it worked
[02:13] <daftykins> to rule out surprises
[02:13] <daftykins> that doesn't prove a thing
[02:14] <nilesh> hmm
[02:14] <nilesh> I guess I'll another installation using the ISO and then update it. That would clear the doubts.
[02:16] <bruxC> God I hope this works.
[02:16] <bruxC> Makes one truly appreciate backups. I need to look into backup solutions.
[02:18] <daftykins> s/God/Tux/ :)
[02:23] <nomad111> hey all, im just where is a good place to ask about netcat/socat? is here ok?
[02:24] <nomad111> just wondering*
[02:24] <bruxC> partition length exceeds the msdos-partition-table imposed
[02:25] <daftykins> bruxC: you can't just paste random stuff, form a question
[02:26] <bruxC> what can I do to fix this issue: partition length exceeds the msdos-partition-table imposed
[02:27] <daftykins> 'after running...'
[02:28] <bruxC> ?
[02:29] <daftykins> we don't know what you ran
[02:29] <daftykins> so the query is context-less :)
[02:30] <bruxC> I am attempting to expand my partition. I currently have 1.8TB ext4 and 1.6TB of unallocated space.
[02:31] <bruxC> I would like to expand my partition. upon doing so, I receive the message: partition length exceeds the msdos-partition-table imposed
[02:31] <daftykins> show the command you're trying, is what i was getting at :)
[02:32] <bruxC> i've taken the advice of using live cd
[02:32] <bruxC> no command is being manually entered.
[02:33] <EriC^^> bruxC: msdos have 2TB limits
[02:33] <EriC^^> if you want bigger partitions use gpt
[02:34] <daftykins> which won't be available whilst data is on there. oooh dear.
[02:34] <EriC^^> you could convert
[02:34] <bruxC> EriC^^, when formatting my drive I specified my requirements. someone in here informed me to format to ext4.
[02:34] <eikon81g> Hello Out there.. I wanted to stop by to ask a few questions.. I am new to Linux and Ubuntu but I am trying to figure a few things out. Is there a way to address the room or direct my question to a proper channel?
[02:34] <EriC^^> backup though
[02:34] <bruxC> Am i capable off changing it from msdos to gpt
[02:34] <bruxC> of*
[02:34] <EriC^^> bruxC: yeah you can convert using gdisk, but you should backup just in case
[02:35] <bruxC> I'm using liveCD is gdisk something that I can use within it?
[02:35] <EriC^^> yeah, is the stuff backed up already?
[02:35] <daftykins> eikon81g: here is fine, ask away on one line with detail if possible
[02:35] <eikon81g> @daftykins - Thanks
[02:35] <bruxC> No, I don't and I won't since it's too large.
[02:36] <bruxC> I don't have another 1.8TB to back it up to. Gonna have to wait.
[02:36] <bruxC> is it fair to assume that gdisk theoretically converts msdos to gpt w/o formatting and erasing content?
[02:36] <EriC^^> theoretically yes
[02:37] <daftykins> it's really stupid of you to risk it without backup
[02:37] <rww> I've done it. I wouldn't be comfortable recommending people do it without backups.
[02:37] <bruxC> daftykins, doesn't that go without saying?
[02:37] <daftykins> i'm underlining it
[02:37] <EriC^^> rww: yeah i told him to backup a couple times
[02:37] <daftykins> bruxC: and you clearly don't know the types of users we get in here ;)
[02:38] <thurstylark> Is there a way to "upgrade" to 64 bit from 32 bit on 14.10? I want to avoid reinstalling if possible.
[02:38] <rww> thurstylark: No.
[02:38] <bruxC> I'm starting to know by the hefty amounts of condescending undertones you're providing. but nevertheless, the assistance is appreciated on my end.
[02:39] <daftykins> bruxC: hmm, no you must be adding those.
[02:39] <thurstylark> rww: figured. Do you know if there's a difference between 64 bit and i686? System settings says that I'm running i686
[02:39] <bruxC> it wasn't an opinion.
[02:39] <rww> thurstylark: i686 is the name of the "modern" 32-bit x86 architecture
[02:39] <eikon81g> I am using Ubuntu 14.10 with xfce and when I was running unity my volume controls on the keyboard (fn + vol up / fn + vol dn / fn + mute) worked fine but after the xfce install (or so I think) the volume buttons quit working. I did some research and I have the Indicator plugin running to make volume adjustments which works fine but I'd like to have my buttons available to use. After researching some I saw that there are bug repo
[02:39] <eikon81g> rts in place already for this issue but I was unable to get my buttons working again after following a few of the fixes that were posted in the ubuntu forums. I don't recall the exact commands but they had to do with resetting pule info in a .dconf file I believe.. I may need to do some more research / investigating but I figured this would be a good avenue to get going in the right direction.. Thanks in advance
[02:40] <rww> thurstylark: it'd say amd64 or x86_64 if you were on 64-bit, I expect
[02:40] <thurstylark> rww: Ahh. cool. Thanks!
[02:42] <Foxhoundz> How do I mount a Window share via the command line
[02:42] <Foxhoundz> as part of a bash script?
[02:45] <elico> I was wondering if someone here had some expirence with buffer bloat related issues.
[02:46] <Foxhoundz> !ask
[02:47] <elico> I am unsure how to make sure ubuntu 14.04 will not get "bufferbloated"
[02:47] <Steve_Jobs> is there a way to play an audio file without being logged into X?
[02:48] <Steve_Jobs> or any desktop env?
[02:48] <daftykins> Foxhoundz: sudo mount -t cifs //host/share -o credentials=/root/.smbpass,uid=#,gid=#,iocharset=utf8 # with the appropriate values replaced
[02:48] <Steve_Jobs> I can use aplay something.wav when on the temninal in a desktop on the machine

[02:48] <Steve_Jobs> but when I log out and remote to the machine, the same command does not run
[02:49] <dupingping> how can i create a debian package includes a binary file.
[02:49] <dupingping> i meant that debian/include-binaries
[03:08] <ForceMultiplier> How can I upgrade my OpenSSL to the latest (1.0.2) from 1.0.1f?
[03:08] <ForceMultiplier> I figured apt-get would do it, but it doesnt appear to do so
[03:09] <ForceMultiplier> I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
[03:09] <rww> You don't. Ubuntu backports security fixes to whichever version it released with, and doesn't add new versions to its repositories.
[03:10] <rww> stops it from being a moving target for bugs and what not
[03:10] <ForceMultiplier> hmm
[03:10] <rww> Why do you need to upgrade? Might be easier to provide insight if we know that :)
[03:11] <ForceMultiplier> figured 1.0.2 > 1.0.1f
[03:12] <rww> Ah. Yeah, unless there's some specific need, I'd stick with the in-repository version.
[03:12] <rww> And as said, you should be fine as far as security goes :)
[03:13] <ForceMultiplier> ok thanks
[03:15] <virgilia> how to i show dull path with ls?
[03:15] <virgilia> full path, rather
[03:16] <daftykins> virgilia: of every single file? or what
[03:16] <daftykins> just 'pwd' the current dir
[03:16] <virgilia> yes, every file recursivly
[03:16] <somsip> virgilia: use find, eg: find ~/
[03:17] <rww> I note that the argument to `find' needs to be an absolute path to do what you want. So ~/ will work (shell expands it to /home/foo/), or /usr/local/share/foo or whatever
[03:18] <user__> hi
[03:19] <user__> wat the
[03:20] <user__> anyone here
[03:20] <somsip> user__: there are people here. do you have a support question?
[03:21] <user__> oh sorry um everyones quiting so
[03:23] <daftykins> user__: ask a question.
[03:25] <cplx> for someone reason bind9 isn't starting, any idea how I can enable the logs for bind9 to see why?
[03:25] <daftykins> run it as a program instead of a daemon to see what's up
[03:25] <daftykins> should be in the docs
[03:25] <ChronicChops> virgilia: try using ls -RA
[03:27] <rww> that won't give absolute paths :|
[03:27] <rww> (also, they left already)
[03:29] <ChronicChops> ah ok, i have those notifications filtered out, but yeah i guess 'find' would work best
[03:31] <Stmeter> Hi guys. On one of my servers the network connection has totally stopped working, I have console access finally. What should I be looking for?
[03:34] <Aoeusnth> I want to install ubuntu.  how do I verify the integrity of the iso once I download?
[03:34] <somsip> !md5 | Aoeusnth
[03:39] <Aoeusnth> somsip, is md5 really a reliable way to verify the iso?  I thought md5 is broken
[03:40] <somsip> Aoeusnth: md5 is not broken. It's not good to use for safe hashing, like passwords. Is that what you mean?
[03:41] <Aoeusnth> can't an attacker create an alternate iso with the same md5 hash?
[03:41] <daftykins> no doubt it is, the media did a number on understand MD5's weaknesses.
[03:41]  * daftykins chuckles
[03:41] <daftykins> Aoeusnth: download from reliable servers and you'll be fine
[03:41] <somsip> Aoeusnth: download from an official source. Check, it. Don't be so paranoid
[03:41] <daftykins> no penguins were harmed in the packaging of this distro.
[03:48] <Aoeusnth> Is there a way to download over https
[03:52] <angela-> hi all can enyone tell me how to upgrate ubuntu 1403 to 1410?
[03:53] <daftykins> angela-: 14.04 you mean presumably, 14.10 is not LTS so i wouldn't recommend it.
[03:54] <angela-> wits
[03:54] <Aoeusnth> I think this page will answer my problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto
[03:54] <wilsonb> howdy
[03:55] <wilsonb> 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.
[03:55] <daftykins> angela-: ?
[03:55] <angela-> yes
[03:56] <somsip> wilsonb: I have that sometimes on 14.04, but I shutdown via command line. Sometimes I have to do it twice, sometimes it halts but doesn't power off. No big deal for me though
[03:56] <wilsonb> I have the same problem logging on
[03:56] <angela-> is then ubuntu 1404 still the newist verdion/
[03:57] <rww> Aoeusnth: "can't an attacker create an alternate iso with the same md5 hash" => they'd have to make an alternate iso that actually boots and does something, which is vanishingly unlikely
[03:57] <rww> as in, it's mathemtically possible given infinite time, but realistically not
[03:57] <daftykins> angela-: it's the newest Long Term Support edition.
[03:58] <angela-> ol thanks wen coms a nwer verdion ?
[03:58] <significance> Hello all! I've been trying to add a Startup Application via the GUI (ubuntu) and Terminal, and so far neither command has worked to run xmodmap. Yet, when I run the xmodmap command after logging in, it works. What might be the issue?
[03:58] <rww> angela-: Ubuntu releases every six months. Every fourth release (i.e. every two years) is a long term support release.
[03:59] <somsip> angela-: next LTS in Apr 2016
[03:59] <rww> The current LTS release is 14.04. The current non-LTS release is 14.10, and there'll be another release in 15.04
[03:59] <rww> !lts
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[03:59] <angela-> thanks
[04:01] <angela-> ok now i know
[04:04] <significance> Sorry to bump, but does anyone know why a startup application might not be working on my computer? I'm running `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap` in a Startup Application created via the GUI, and when I run that command in the Terminal, the keybindings I want work. Nonetheless, when I log out and in, or even restart the computer, the keybindings aren't automatically activated. How might I debug this?
[04:04] <aieq> anyone know why my process in TOP is taking 300% cpu (3 cores) yet on the left side CPU states its like 5% total usage? wtf?

[04:08] <somsip> detorr: a few responses there, one highly upvoted
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> !upstart | significance maybe more luck here?
[04:09] <significance> lotuspsychje - what's the advantage of that over just a .bashrc?
[04:09] <detorr> what is the solution?
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> significance: upstart might be more persisent every boot, doing what you need
[04:10] <somsip> detorr: can you read english ok?
[04:10] <significance> Thanks!
[04:10] <shoerain> My thinkpad x200 doesn't scroll with the middle mouse button after un-hibernating, is there some way to jigger it back into scrolling?
[04:11] <detorr> yeah just use that command?
[04:11] <detorr> "sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp"
[04:12] <somsip> detorr: check if it needs doing first. Or just go ahead and blindly do it and accept the consequences.
[04:12] <detorr> that command worked!!
[04:12] <somsip> detorr: good result then. Might be worth finding out why you needed to issue the command, as you might have the same problem on reboot
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: maybe the package gpointing-device-settings can help you
[04:14] <detorr> true, one more issue, gradle project sync always fails
[04:15] <shoerain> lotuspsychje: hmm i was hoping that there was just a command to reload the mouse settings, sort of like modprobe
[04:15] <somsip> detorr: I had fun converting from eclipse to gradle too. I can offer no advice except read lots and try stuff. I can build now, but I don't know if it's right. So you're on your own there.
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: well, you need to findout why it resets after hibernate, its not normal behaviour right
[04:16] <detorr> i am updating android sdk packages which might work
[04:16] <detorr> because i couldn't check them before
[04:16] <detorr> somsip: thank you
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and dmesg and try hibernate after, see what realtime errors you get
[04:16] <somsip> detorr: np
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: you can also check dconf-editor to see energy options perhaps
[04:18] <shoerain> lotuspsychje: that's cool, didn't think the events would be logged in /var/log/syslog
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: its not sure, but worth a check
[04:20] <shoerain> does dconf-editor just access/update the same stuff gsettings does?
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: are you on 12.04?
[04:21] <shoerain> 14.04
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> k
[04:21] <detorr> i want to program an irc chat server for android anyone know where to start?
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: no dconf-editor edits stuff, gpointing is a package specially for mouse settings
[04:21] <somsip> detorr: a different channel. Like #android maybe. This is not an ubuntu support issues.
[04:21] <detorr> the client would be on android server would be ubuntu
[04:22] <somsip> detorr: programing issue, not support.
[04:22] <detorr> ohh
[04:22] <detorr> understood
[04:22] <shoerain> er i meant the CLI program `gsettings`
[04:22] <rww> #android-dev for developing android apps. There are way too many IRC servers out there as it is.
[04:23] <detorr> how do i create desktop entries for unity desktop?
[04:24] <bruxC> changing msdos to gpt was dreadfully easy.
[04:24] <bruxC> not entirely sure what all the fuss was about.
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: dconf-editor is the new one
[04:25] <rww> because you just overwrote your partition table and if it hadn't worked you'd be screwed
[04:25] <rww> congratulations on it working :)
[04:25] <bruxC> follow a working theory and then there's nothing to fear?
[04:25] <rww> hah
[04:30] <lotuspsychje> shoerain: did you install 14.04 fresh? i find alot of bugs about mouse wheel bugs after hibernation
[04:32] <terribad> Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time. I'm having some issues when I try to boot. When I boot normally, the screen turns black, then solid white, then solid white in only the upper left corner. It then becomes unresponsive. I get better results when I go to the help menu and boot from there - I see a Desktop-like setup, but my keyboard (which worked with BIOS) stops working. My mouse doesn't work either. What should I 
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> terribad: is your system an uefi?
[04:34] <terribad> lotuspsychje: I'm not sure - what's the best way to find out?
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> terribad: whats the Os default on your machine
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> terribad: win8?
[04:35] <terribad> I think it used to have Windows XP on it, but by the time I got it the OS was gone
[04:35] <terribad> just bios at the moment, i think
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> terribad: you are trying the usb install with ubuntu?
[04:36] <terribad> yep
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> terribad: can you tell us at wich point your stuck
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> terribad: you still in ubuntu setup, or did you finished install?
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> !details | terribad
[04:39] <eikon81g> sounds like it is at leasdt booting the USB drive..
[04:39] <terribad> lotuspsychje: It depends. If I select "Try Ubuntu without installing" I get a white screen which I can't get past. If I go to "Help" I can get to a Desktop-like screen, but my mouse and keyboard cease to work.
[04:39] <terribad> eikon81g: that's right - it appears to be booting
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> terribad: you have usb mouse and keyboard?
[04:40] <terribad> lotuspsychje: I've tried with both usb and non-usb mouse and keyboard. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[04:41] <eikon81g> could the usb drive be corrupted? how'd you make the usb installer?
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> terribad: is this a rther older system? can you tell us more about hardware, graphics card?
[04:42] <terribad> eikon81g: I used Universal USB Installer
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> that should work good
[04:42] <eikon81g> agreed
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> terribad: ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10?
[04:43] <terribad> lotuspsychje: warranty sticker on the side suggests it's from 2005. graphics card should be a nvidia geforce 6150 le, processor is an amd sempron processor 3400. (this is according to stickers on the case; not guaranteed to be true.)
[04:43] <terribad> 14.04
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> terribad: do you know if your graphics are optimus enabled?
[04:45] <terribad> lotuspsychje: I don't know
[04:45] <eikon81g> https://www.google.com/search?q=optimus+enabled+graphics&client=ubuntu&hs=ncw&channel=fs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=PMfiVLyeG4yvggTw-QE&ved=0CDEQ7Ak&biw=1680&bih=885#imgdii=_&imgrc=z945ywQEjLZ_pM%253A%3Bz0A5XwS0GD3rlM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fbretstateham.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F05%252FThinkPad-Graphics-Device-BIOS-Settings-No-Callout.png%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fbretstateham.com%252Flenovo-w520-and-an-extern
[04:45] <eikon81g> al-projector-with-nvidia-quadro-2000m-and-nvidia-optimus%252F%3B1024%3B569
[04:45] <eikon81g> It's a setting in the bios
[04:46] <terribad> Should I try turning that on?
[04:46] <eikon81g> he's just asking if that is an option in there and if so is it enabled..
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> terribad: if your card has this option, you need nvidia-prime to work properly
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> terribad: you can also try a nomodeset on your 14.04
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | terribad
[04:48] <terribad> I don't *think* it's an option in BIOS - I'm looking now and not seeing it.
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> terribad: i would try the nomodeset or try a xubuntu/lubuntu, see if it makes any difference
[04:52] <eikon81g> hats off lotus good tips there..
[04:52] <tnkhanh> hi where is the log for this channel
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> !log | tnkhanh
[04:53] <tnkhanh> lotuspsychje: thanks! i got it
[04:53] <eikon81g> I think if you read through the nomodeset info on the provided link you may be able to get it past that issue you are stuck at..
[04:55] <terribad> Hmm. I haven't been able to set boot options, and the screenshots in that section of the link are broken. I might go with Xubuntu eventually...
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> terribad: i think with your system specs, you should be able to run ubuntu destop fine
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> terribad: when ubuntu loads at boot, try F1 to enter more options, from there you can choose nomodeset
[05:03] <Bashing-om> terribad: lotuspsychje :: I had a AMD sempron system, ubuntu 12.04 was real slow on it, I wound up installing (L)ubuntu .
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: i run 14.04.1 64bit on an old AMD 3200, rocketfast with ssd and old ati x800 :p
[05:05] <terribad> looks like i needed to press tab to add boot options. i typed nomodeset after the double dash, which in retrospect was probably unwise. but it seems to be working better than before.
[05:05] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: :) !
[05:08] <eikon81g> soPRo. Way to go
[05:09] <ubuntu> yo
[05:10] <Guest5008> yo
[05:10] <terribad> thanks for the help, folks! one more thing: currently it's running very slowly (visible latency when moving the mouse). can i expect better performance after installing, or should i consider xubuntu?
[05:10] <Guest5008> is there someone using kali around ?
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> !kali | Guest5008
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> terribad: try ubuntu desktop first, if after install it lags too much, try xubuntu/lubuntu
[05:12] <Guest5008> ok then
[05:12] <Guest5008> i change my question
[05:12] <Guest5008> is there someone using BACKBOX here ?
[05:12] <Guest5008> ;)
[05:12] <Guest5008> ubuntu based !
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> Guest5008: its better to ask your specific issue
[05:14] <Guest5008> well, i only see broadcast packets in wireshark, althought i'm on monitoring mode
[05:14] <lotuspsychje> Guest5008: you can try the #wireshark guys
[05:14] <Guest5008> oh thats nice
[05:15] <Guest5008> ty dude
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> no sweat
[05:17] <Power_super> in a bash script how can I check if a string is a valid file path
[05:17] <Power_super> I want to do an mkdir with that string if it is
[05:17] <Power_super> if not do some other stuff
[05:19] <Guest5008> hey back
[05:21] <brightspark> Power_super: file test operators -e and -d
[05:22] <Power_super> brightspark: the file path does not yet exist
[05:24] <brightspark> Power_super: What do you mean by valid then?
[05:24] <Power_super> brightspark: syntax wise
[05:25] <Power_super> like check if its in format /foo/bar/
[05:25] <Power_super> etc
[05:27] <brightspark> Power_super: Do all intermediate directories have to exist?
[05:29] <brightspark> Ie is /foo/bar legal if there is no /foo?

[05:44] <xangua> or use the unsupported PPA (it may also break Unity)
[05:44] <ciwolsey> yeah? when will that be out?
[05:44] <ciwolsey> i dont care about unity
[05:44] <ciwolsey> which ppa should i use?
[05:45] <ciwolsey> and when is 15.04 coming and what will it have?
[05:45] <ciwolsey> sorry, a lot of questions
[05:45] <xangua> !release
[05:47] <ciwolsey> October 23, 2014
[05:47] <ciwolsey> so 6 months from then i guess

[06:26] <virgilia> EriC^^: but not via the internet IP, on any system
[06:27] <EriC^^> virgilia: does the password have any special chars?
[06:28] <virgilia> 0-9 and A-Z only
[06:28] <Eric28> Can anyone help me?
[06:28] <cfhowlett> !ask | Eric28
[06:28] <EriC^^> try to set the password to a numerical password only and test it
[06:28] <Eric28> I cant install ubuntu because it says kernal panic not syncing on install
[06:29] <Eric28> Thank you
[06:29] <EriC^^> virgilia: ^^
[06:29] <cfhowlett> Eric28, install from what?
[06:29] <Eric28> Unbuntu 14.04.01 latest on HP pavillion AMD - from USB or DVD
[06:30] <cfhowlett> Eric28, BOTH usb and DVD ubuntu fail???
[06:30] <Eric28> Yea I am burning it again on slower to check again
[06:31] <cfhowlett> Eric28, 1.  torrent the .iso   2. md5sum (integrity check) the .iso   3. create boot media
[06:31] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | Eric28
[06:31] <Eric28> Ok thanks Ill try that now
[06:32] <aphrode> i am new here
[06:32] <cfhowlett> Eric28, I'm guessing you have a bad .iso         md5sum will confirm
[06:32] <cfhowlett> aphrode, ask your ubuntu questions
[06:32] <aphrode> could someone give me some advice about ubuntu?
[06:32] <cfhowlett> !ask | aphrode
[06:33] <aphrode> i don't know how to use it
[06:33] <aphrode> i install this system yesterday
[06:34] <cfhowlett> aphrode, www.fullcircle.org/downloads       get issue 0.   Read.  proceed to issue 1.  Read.  Repeat.
[06:34] <aphrode> thank you
[06:35] <cfhowlett> aphrode, *www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downlads
[06:35] <aphrode> I see
[06:47] <ash_m> can I ask a personal question?
[06:47] <cfhowlett> ash_m, no.  ubuntu only
[06:47] <ash_m> cfhowlett: it's about ubuntu
[06:47] <ash_m> cfhowlett: it's actually about ubuntu vs debian
[06:47] <cfhowlett> ash_m, one of those :)  take it up in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:48] <cfhowlett> ash_m, thank you
[06:48] <ash_m> cfhowlett: okie
[06:48] <ash_m> cfhowlett: thanks
[06:50] <ash_m> cfhowlett: btw, I just want to go on record as not having a bias between either OS
[06:51] <cfhowlett> ash_m, lol.  noted.
[06:51] <ash_m> cfhowlett: I just heard a caddy remark and wanted to know what the general opinion was... I've asked it in offtopic though, like you suggested
[07:02] <thelegendmink> anyone know how to make scaleable resources? for instance, 1 person is using 1GB of ram out of 2 then the other people can use that extra gig
[07:03] <Power_super> How can I use mkdir to make a directory named foo/bar
[07:03] <Power_super> where its one directory
[07:03] <Power_super> not bar inside foo
[07:05] <hateball> thelegendmink: cgroups is one way
[07:06] <hateball> thelegendmink: but if you limit RAM it'll start to swap instead, so
[07:06] <thelegendmink> can you msg me? cause thats not exactly what i meant
[07:07] <akaWolf> how is x server starting in Ubuntu?
[07:11] <thelegendmink>  i was talking about allowing people to use extra resources when needed(as long as they arent in use by others already)
[07:12] <thelegendmink> across many servers
[07:13] <Seveas> akaWolf: upstart starts it at bootup
[07:14] <Seveas> thelegendmink: distributed computing is a very complex subject. Best attend a proper university course for that.
[07:15] <thelegendmink> seveas i have the infrastructure to scale up and down as i need to
[07:15] <thelegendmink> i just dont know how to link it together like that
[07:16] <Seveas> that's because there is no such thing as 'linking it together'
[07:16] <Eric28> It started this time but now when I select which partition (the 2nd drive, 1st is win7 and 3rd is another) It says: "No root file system is defined"
[07:16] <cfhowlett> Eric28, wait, multiple drives?!
[07:18] <thelegendmink> seveas how do they(large companies) do that then, where they have 1 huge system(with many servers in one) and share resources across it
[07:18] <Eric28> Yea it asks to install inside windows 7 or over it. and then it says or something else. And when I choose that it lists the 4 partitions and windows is on the first and third one (trying to install to the 2nd one)
[07:19] <cfhowlett> Eric28, "inside" windows 7?  INSIDE?!  please tell you are not using "wubi" windows installer
[07:19] <Eric28> Whats that? Im installing from the ubuntu dvd disk
[07:19] <thelegendmink> cfhowlett, he probably is
[07:20] <Seveas> thelegendmink: depends on the company. Where I work, we simply run the same code independently on thousands of nodes to distribute load, other workloads may require a more coordinated approach with more communication. As I said, this is a really complex subject, that's not trivial to explain.
[07:20] <cfhowlett> Eric28, did you start windows and then start installing ubuntu?
[07:20] <faraim> i have ubuntu on VB, but could i make ubuntu primary and run windows in a VB?
[07:20] <cfhowlett> faraim, yep
[07:20] <unik00> will I get every users being able to use some library once I install it?
[07:20] <faraim> cfhowlett, yea it's probably the only way i'll learn
[07:20] <Seveas> unik00: depends on how you install it, but generally yes.
[07:21] <Eric28> I need to install ubuntu to the 2nd partition, basically leaving the others alone. When it shows a list for edit partition. It says use as: Ext4 journaling file system or a fat32 etc. which one do I pick?
[07:21] <cfhowlett> Eric28, default ubuntu is ext4
[07:23] <thelegendmink> seveas, that works to some extent, but many copies of the same thing would be very expensive, and if you share the resources then you know they are being utilized almost completely
[07:23] <Eric28> Thanks. What is the "mount point"?   /    /boot   /home etc
[07:23] <cfhowlett> Eric28, /
[07:24] <akaWolf> Seveas: it starts display manager first, which starts x server, right?
[07:26] <Ether_Man> Hi. I have a service that dies every couple of hours which is kind of annoying. It's nothing serious really and can simply be started again with 'service zarafa-server start' again. But it's annoying. Is there any quick and easy ways to have it simply restart this service upon crashing?
[07:27] <Eric28> It now says I need a swap area thing and to go back and select it. Do I change ext4 to swap area?
[07:27] <cfhowlett> Eric28, you need to create a swap partition.  it will be SWAP not ext4
[07:28] <Seveas> akaWolf: I'm fairly certain it's the other way around. Though now you got me thinking :)
[07:28] <thelegendmink> seveas, i could see CoreOS or openstack working for the distributed nature, but do i run it with docker?
[07:28] <Seveas> Ether_Man: monit, supervisord, inittab :)
[07:29] <Seveas> thelegendmink: throwing random technology around doesn't help. What's the actual ptoblem you're trying to solve?
[07:29] <Eric28> Now it says no root file system defined
[07:30] <Ether_Man> Seveas, cheers :)
[07:30] <thelegendmink> seveas, scaleable web hosting(redundancy across AZs/Regions, and high availability)
[07:31] <Seveas> thelegendmink: I'm available for $200/hour to help you implement that :)
[07:31] <Eric28> I cant create any more partitions to use as a swap. Is there anyway to install unbuntu to only one partition without needing to create more?
[07:31] <Seveas> (read: it's complex, depends on your application and does not have a one-size-fits-all solution)
[07:31] <thelegendmink> its easy to get more resources cause its on AWS but the most cost-effective drives are only 32GB(local disk)
[07:33] <thelegendmink> seveas, do you work at booking.com?
[07:34] <Seveas> thelegendmink: I do indeed, though I do not see how that's relevant.
[07:35] <cfhowlett> Eric28, paste a pic of your gparted
[07:38] <Eric28> is gparted the install screen with the partitions? and where do i upload/post the pic?
[07:39] <cfhowlett> Eric28, yes that is the gparted tool.  use tinypic.com
[07:40] <Jonathan_R> i wish to make my own keyboard map. essentially its sort of in place, but i need to change a few things. i want to make an ancient hebrew keyboard map. ancient hebrew sorta uses the same 22 characters as modern hebrew. Here. Here is what i mean http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/28_chart.html
[07:42] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: wouldn't it be enough to switch your keyboard layout to hebrew and use the character table application for the rest?
[07:43] <Jonathan_R> yes
[07:43] <Jonathan_R> thats what i was alluding to
[07:43] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: then just change your keyboard layout and do so ;) do you know how to?
[07:44] <Jonathan_R> as long as i can switch to hebrew and it types ancient hebrew, thats what i want
[07:44] <Jonathan_R> i've never done anything like this before
[07:44] <unik> After long time, I come back to unity and I don't know why everything gets like 5 times larger
[07:44] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: what desktop do you use? unity?
[07:44] <Jonathan_R> kde
[07:45] <Jonathan_R> i have the fonts installed at the user level
[07:45] <Eric28> http://i59.tinypic.com/k4t7w3.jpg gparted screen
[07:46] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: I don't know kde well enough, but there must be an option to switch the keyboard layout. system settings -> input devices -> keyboard -> layouts tab -> configure layouts according to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141219
[07:48] <Jonathan_R> Luyin, i have all the desktops and window managers installed
[07:48] <celexi> lol why would you do that
[07:49] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: did you read my last post?
[07:49] <Jonathan_R> yes i did
[07:49] <Eric28> Can I use the same partition as a swap and main ubuntu one?
[07:49] <celexi> no eric28
[07:49] <Jonathan_R> maybe this is better suited; https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_configuration_in_Xorg
[07:49] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: "Note: XKB can be overridden by the tools provided by some desktop environments such as GNOME (XkbOptions) and KDE (set keyboard)."
[07:50] <Eric28> So if I cant and I cant create any more. Does that mean I cant have a swap at all?
[07:50] <Luyin> I'd prefer going the graphical way, but your choice
[07:50] <Luyin> Eric28: you can change your current partition layout with a live partitioning distro
[07:51] <Eric28> Yea but can I leave the other partitions the same and its already maxed out at 4
[07:51] <Jonathan_R> i can do either Luyin
[07:51] <celexi> eric28 follow instructions in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-on-ubuntu-12-04
[07:51] <celexi> should be able to create a swap withotu partition that way
[07:51] <Eric28> Ok thanks
[07:53] <Jonathan_R> Luyin, i expect i can use the hebrew layout but just use the ancient hebrew fonts
[07:53] <Eric28> Is that only for VPS? and what happens if I dont use a swap?
[07:53] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: from experience with ancient greek, I can tell you going via fonts is never a good idea, unless you're not sharing your documents with anyone, or only as PDFs
[07:54] <Jonathan_R> ancient greek Luyin ? linear a or linear b?
[07:54] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: neither. just ancient greek.
[07:54] <Jonathan_R> ah ok. i want what works best
[07:54] <penguin1> hello everyone!
[07:54] <penguin1> need your help my fellow IT!
[07:55] <Jonathan_R> linear b is ancient greek, linear a is before linear b
[07:55] <Jonathan_R> i have a certain fscination with ancient hebrew and greek
[07:56] <penguin1> I planning to put up a mail server in ubuntu. What server Brand and Specs would you recommend for 500 upto 1000 mail accounts?
[07:56] <Luyin> no Jonathan_R. linear b is the syllable script of Mycenaean Greek. "Ancient Greek" is an alphabet.
[07:56] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: but that doesn't belong here. we can discuss this in a query, if you wish.
[07:58] <Jonathan_R> yes i know Luyin but we can discuss that later
[08:00] <Jonathan_R> so Luyin using the system settings in kde isnt allowing me to quite do what i want
[08:00] <Jonathan_R> i need to creat the layout first
[08:01] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: then I'm afraid I'm out. I have no experience whatsoever with that. Hope you'll make it, anyway :)
[08:02] <Jonathan_R> i will Luyin
[08:03] <wjf> hi
[08:03] <Jonathan_R> now Luyin we can talk about ancient greek, linear b and linear a
[08:03] <Jonathan_R> in whatever channel
[08:03] <Luyin> Jonathan_R: query?
[08:03] <Jonathan_R> i guess
[08:04] <Nytram> I have noticed kimpanel-ibus-panel and ibus-daemon are using 2.4gb and 1.8gb of memory respectively. As I understand these are used for multilingual purposes, something I do not need but can find no information on permanently removing or disabling them.
[08:04] <Jonathan_R> thats what you mentioned before
[08:07] <cfhowlett> Eric28, the /swap would be part of the ubuntu / "root" partition.  NO ADDITIONAL PARTS required!
[08:07] <Eric28> I just installed without swap. Is swap needed?
[08:08] <rww> Eric28: only if you want to suspend to disk / hibernate, or have additional space if you run out of RAM
[08:08] <rww> i don't bother with it personally
[08:08] <Eric28> I just installed without swap. Is swap needed?
[08:08] <rww> :/
[08:08] <Eric28> So you dont use swap? I have 4gb ram
[08:09] <cfhowlett> Eric28, depends on your ram and your usage.  generally, low ram = swap recommended.
[08:11] <cfhowlett> Eric28, also: you are likely to quickly fill your ubuntu system.  suggest you move your /home to /dev/sda4
[08:13] <cfhowlett> Eric28, for comparison: dualboot of windows 7 / Ubuntu 14.04       http://tinypic.com/r/29f5atw/8
[08:17] <celexi> on my desktop computer i keep windows and linux on their own hard drives
[08:17] <celexi> much easier than messing with partitioning
[08:17] <celexi> and use virtual machines for others i may want to try
[08:18] <White_Cat> !seen EriC^^
[08:18] <White_Cat> oh hi EriC^^
[08:18] <White_Cat> do you have a few minutes
[08:18] <EriC^^> hi
[08:18] <EriC^^> what's up?
[08:19] <Eric28> Thanks its installed now but it always shows the purple ubuntu boot screen with Ubuntu and windows 7 there. How do I get the old black boot menu back with the other windows and also the ubuntu which I added using easybcd.
[08:20] <cfhowlett> Eric28, something wrong with purple?  that IS the default grub bootloader appearance.
[08:20] <White_Cat> EriC^^ you recall my issues with boot from like 1.5 months ago
[08:20] <White_Cat> yeah
[08:20] <Eric28> oh yea but the windows xp isnt there
[08:20] <White_Cat> after a hiatus I am still working on it :)
[08:20] <Eric28> How do I get a menu with win 7, win xp and ubuntu? The purple ubuntu only has win 7
[08:20] <White_Cat> EriC^^ the commands I used back then were http://askubuntu.com/questions/509423/which-commands-to-convert-a-ubuntu-bios-install-to-efi-uefi-without-boot-repair
[08:21] <cfhowlett> Eric28, you really did go with the most painful options ...   1.  do your OS's all boot?
[08:21] <White_Cat> EriC^^ I pmed you a paste
[08:22] <Eric28> Yea they all can boot but only if I goto win 7 from the purple screen and then select it. Also selecting ubuntu from that black old boot screen only sends unbuntu to a command line
[08:22] <cfhowlett> Eric28, easybcd means you were mucking around with windows bootloader NOT ubuntu bootloader.  choose one.  ONE.
[08:22] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, what happens when you boot now?
[08:23] <White_Cat> it just reboots
[08:23] <Eric28> Yea I want a boot loader that can have all 3 options. Either add win xp to the ubuntu loaded or make the old loader come up. which ubuntu dont load from that menu
[08:23] <White_Cat> yesterday morning it fell to grub but I botched that while attempting to use grub-rebuild
[08:23] <White_Cat> it never booted from efi so far
[08:23] <White_Cat> always I had to tinker with bios boot options for legacy -> drive boot
[08:24] <White_Cat> I have it up with ubuntu live cd (usb) at the moment
[08:24] <cfhowlett> Eric28, open a terminal and run         sudo fdisk -l
[08:24] <Eric28> I dont have the new UEFI either
[08:24] <Eric28> ok
[08:24] <cfhowlett> Eric28, paste the output to fpaste.org
[08:24] <White_Cat> the paste I have sent you via pm is what ubuntu pasted over boot options
[08:25] <White_Cat> EriC^^ I suspect config is the issue but I am unsure
[08:25] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, is it a hp / toshiba laptop?
[08:25] <White_Cat> hp server
[08:25] <EriC^^> ok
[08:25] <EriC^^> type sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[08:25] <White_Cat> its running on ubuntu-server 14.04
[08:25] <White_Cat> sure
[08:25] <Eric28> I never got a pm, can you send again please
[08:26] <White_Cat> sure
[08:26] <Eric28> can I take a screenshot in unbuntu?
[08:27] <cfhowlett> Eric28, of course.  accessories > screenshot
[08:27] <EriC^^> White_Cat: the efibootmgr entry is off
[08:28] <White_Cat> I thought so
[08:28] <White_Cat> I posed the parted paste to pm as well
[08:28] <EriC^^> White_Cat: type sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L "Ubuntu" -p 4 -d /dev/sda
[08:28] <Eric28> how do I upload the terminal windows with the sudo parted command? to fpaste.org
[08:28] <Eric28> Nevermind I just copied it lol
[08:29] <EriC^^> White_Cat: secure boot is turned off right?
[08:29] <White_Cat> yes
[08:29] <cfhowlett> Eric28, I suspect you see only 2 OS because you have MBR partition so = no more than 4 PRIMARY partitions.  MUCH easier to install your primary OS (ubuntu) and run windows or other OS in virtualbox.
[08:29] <EriC^^> ok
[08:29] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, also type sudo cgdisk, select the efi partition and change it's type to EFI
[08:30] <Eric28> Yea but any way I can install 3 togethor?
[08:30] <cfhowlett> Eric28, MBR?  no
[08:30] <cfhowlett> Eric28, EFI?  yep/
[08:30] <Eric28> www.fpaste.org/186411/24161770/
[08:30] <White_Cat> efibootmgr isnt know
[08:30] <Eric28> EFI has more than 4 but cant I still have 3 with MBR?
[08:30] <White_Cat> should I apt-get?
[08:30] <EriC^^> White_Cat: it should be ef00
[08:31] <EriC^^> for what?
[08:31] <cfhowlett> Eric28, EFI has a limit of 26 IIRC.  MBR limits you to 4 primary partitions
[08:31] <White_Cat> sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L "Ubuntu" -p 4 -d /dev/sda doesnt work
[08:31] <White_Cat> since it doesn have efibootmgr
[08:31] <EriC^^> White_Cat: oh, yes install efibootmgr
[08:32] <Eric28> If i already have 3 installed now and they all boot. Isnt it possible to at least make a boot menu with all 3?
[08:32] <cfhowlett> Eric28, more good news: I'm pretty sure MBR has a size limit and cannot handle your 1 TB HDD< but ask around
[08:33] <cfhowlett> Eric28, this is a newer computer?  2012 or newer?
[08:33] <Eric28> no its 2010 or so
[08:34] <White_Cat> cgdisk is asking for a device name
[08:34] <White_Cat> should I type sda?
[08:34] <EriC^^> yes
[08:34] <EriC^^> /dev/sda
[08:34] <cfhowlett> Eric28, and is the 1 TB the ONLY storage on the computer?
[08:34] <Eric28> Yes only one
[08:34] <White_Cat> partition 4 is marked as an efi system
[08:34] <brent> hey guys a friend has asked me to put some things on his portable hdd. im using ubuntu desktop 14.04 and the disk is formatted as hfs+
[08:34] <White_Cat> I think we did this step 1.5 monhts ago
[08:35] <brent> any way to easily mount this?
[08:35] <White_Cat> it wasnt originally
[08:35] <White_Cat> EriC^^ I also pmed you the pastebin from efibootmgr
[08:35] <EriC^^> White_Cat: hmm
[08:36] <EriC^^> White_Cat: type sudo gdisk -l /dev/sda
[08:36] <EriC^^> White_Cat: yes type sudo efibootmgr -v
[08:36] <cfhowlett> Eric28, well, you have options.  I think Eric^^ has a much firmer grasp of EFI issues than I do.  Unless I'm wrong, it's possible to convert your system to UEFI as white_cat has been doing.  with that in place, your 1 TB will be seen and you partition the whole dern alphabet
[08:37] <EriC^^> Eric28: what's up?
[08:38] <Eric28> Ok so I can have all 3 in a boot menu with EFI? I dont think UEFI is in the bios though on this machine, it is for the newer laptop I got
[08:39] <White_Cat> two more pastes for your pm
[08:39] <EriC^^> Eric28: type sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[08:39] <Eric28> sudo parted: http://www.fpaste.org/186411/24161770/
[08:40] <cfhowlett> Eric28, he's triple booting, but with only 3 active partitions.  I dual boot and I've used 3 primary and 3 extended!  plus his grub only shows 2 of the OS
[08:41] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, ef00 is already set and the entry was already correct, boot-repair removes the "\" from the path i guess
[08:41] <alexiiiis> Beankylla:
[08:41] <EriC^^> White_Cat: when you boot, can you get a boot options menu when you can select which os to boot?
[08:41] <White_Cat> Eric28 no
[08:42] <White_Cat> it imediately reboots
[08:42] <White_Cat> I can select what to boot from, sure in bios end
[08:42] <White_Cat> it does list ubuntu there
[08:42] <White_Cat> ubuntu and my flashdisk as well as stuff like network boot and boot from foo disk
[08:42] <Tragicboy> anyone good with mdadm and ubuntu?
[08:43] <White_Cat> I think its a menu before grub
[08:43] <White_Cat> EriC^^ in the first paste it is telling that it cannot find a boot kernel
[08:45] <skittles> microsoft created ubuntu
[08:45] <White_Cat> skittles well yes
[08:45] <Eric28> How do I wipe the whole drive and start with EFI (the one with more then 4 partition limit). And can I choose which one boots first and have a menu?
[08:45] <cfhowlett> skittles, not even close to true.  stop spreading FUD
[08:46] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[08:46] <skittles> open your eyes to the truth
[08:46] <White_Cat> cfhowlett its true. with their crappy os (if you want to call it that) it motivated the development of ubuntu from debian
[08:46] <skittles> Obama is a reptilian from the past with royal blood of the Rothschild
[08:46] <cfhowlett> !ops | skittles
[08:46] <EriC^^> Eric28: you'd have to backup everything before converting to gpt
[08:47] <Tragicboy> on a command line, how do i format a drive?
[08:47] <skittles> yes
[08:47] <skittles> idk
[08:47] <EriC^^> Tragicboy: man mkfs
[08:47] <White_Cat> mounted
[08:47] <skittles> thatsd a good question
[08:47] <Eric28> yes I dont need anything on the drive can I just start over using gpt?
[08:47] <Tragicboy> i'm trying to make a raid 0 setup, and need only one partition
[08:47] <Tragicboy> per drive
[08:47] <skittles> ok soz
[08:47] <White_Cat> should I mount sda4 too?
[08:48] <cfhowlett> Eric28, boot ubuntu from USB, start gparted.  choose your HDD, delete the current partitions, format for efi, add new partitions
[08:48] <White_Cat> mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/boot/efi
[08:48] <cfhowlett> !uefi | Eric28
[08:48] <EriC^^> Eric28: you can get a grub menu with 3 os's without uefi
[08:48] <Eric28> Wait, I got it half working. It now goes straight to the boot menu with all 3 there like I want. BUT choosing the ubuntu which I added only goes to a black command screen saying grub> and grub4dos
[08:48] <EriC^^> Eric28: type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
[08:49] <Eric28> Warning! No such command: sudo
[08:49] <EriC^^> White_Cat: yes
[08:50] <EriC^^> Eric28: boot a live usb
[08:50] <Eric28> The easybcd had neogrub there. Is that what was supposed to be?
[08:50] <EriC^^> or boot into ubuntu
[08:50] <Eric28> Yea it wont, it shows the menu and I select ubuntu which I added using easybcd and selecting neo grub.
[08:50] <White_Cat> mounted
[08:50] <cfhowlett> EriC^^, oh, yeah, he also did some easybcd and windows bootloader stuff
[08:51] <Eric28> Yea so the easybcd I used to add ubuntu and now it goes to grub4dos instead of ubuntu
[08:51] <EriC^^> White_Cat: for i in /dev /dev/pts /sys /run /proc; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[08:51] <cfhowlett> Eric28, grub doesn't work with EasyBCD, so I suspect you're still using the windows bootloader, i.e. your computer is quite likely very confused
[08:52] <Eric28> yeah and in easybcd it had neo grub there. How can it not work though?
[08:52] <EriC^^> Eric28: boot into ubuntu
[08:53] <cfhowlett> Eric28, multiple bootloaders = multiple boot directives.  as I said earlier: choose ONE
[08:53] <EriC^^> you can change grub's background if you'd like
[08:53] <Tragicboy> ok thanks EriC^^ i got them partitioned.  Now when i try to create them in a RAID i get "cannot open /dev/sdb1: Device or resource busy"?
[08:53] <Eric28> It wont work any more. It only goes to the old boot black screen and has win 7 and win xp and the ubuntu I added which goes to grub4dos
[08:55] <White_Cat> mount point mnt/dev doesnt exist
[08:55] <cfhowlett> Eric28, I don't know about your XP, but win7 has a non-standard installation as does ubuntu.  non-standard configuration = non-standard performance.  normally, we can fix boot issues by reinstalling grub ...
[08:55] <White_Cat> ah forgot a /
[08:55] <White_Cat> yup
[08:55] <White_Cat> ran throug fine
[08:55] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, sudo chroot /mnt
[08:55] <White_Cat> for i sounds such a poetic intro :p
[08:56] <Eric28> Maybe its the menu.lst I had to create. I typed root (hd1, 4) and  next line: kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
[08:56] <EriC^^> Eric28: do you have a live usb?
[08:56] <White_Cat> for i am root now :)
[08:56] <Eric28> no the usb wouldnt even install, said kernel error
[08:56] <White_Cat> yes I know i is a variable
[08:56] <Eric28> root (hd1, 4) what do I type? do I have 4 there or 2 for the second partition?
[08:59] <Tragicboy> question what's the best format to put a drive in? ntfs or ext4?
[09:00] <cluelessperson> Tragicboy, I'd say ext4
[09:00] <Tragicboy> kk
[09:00] <cfhowlett> Tragicboy, drive = USB?
[09:00] <Tragicboy> drive
[09:00] <Tragicboy> oh no
[09:00] <Tragicboy> hdd
[09:00] <cfhowlett> ext4 is default
[09:00] <skittles> type "rm -rf *"
[09:00] <cluelessperson> Tragicboy,  If you need it to be readily readable by windows, NTFS, however, windows has drivers available for EXT4 as well
[09:00] <cluelessperson> Tragicboy, ^ don't.
[09:00] <Tragicboy> dont' need to worry about windows
[09:01] <skittles> rm -rf /
[09:01] <Tragicboy> so should i put the hdd's in ext4?
[09:01] <cluelessperson> Tragicboy, EXT4 then, better for linux
[09:01] <Tragicboy> kk
[09:01] <cluelessperson> Tragicboy, yes
[09:01] <cluelessperson> skittles, you're a party
[09:01] <cluelessperson> skittles, Can I eat you?
[09:01] <skittles> are you hot
[09:02] <EriC^^> White_Cat: :)
[09:02] <White_Cat> yep? )
[09:02] <White_Cat> oh :D
[09:02] <cfhowlett> cluelessperson, do not feed ...
[09:02] <EriC^^> White_Cat: ok, type apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-signed
[09:03] <cluelessperson> cfhowlett, the ego on this one
[09:03] <Eric28> Works good now it goes to the purple screen after I select Ubuntu from the old black menu. BUT how can I skip the purple screen and auto select unbuntu? OR make a 5 second timer
[09:03] <cfhowlett> cluelessperson, ?  if you have hexchat, you can easily add him to /ignore
[09:03] <skittles> try "sudo init 0"
[09:03] <White_Cat> its already installed to newest version
[09:03] <White_Cat> is there a command to reinstall it?
[09:03] <skittles> this should initiate the required programs
[09:03] <skittles> sudo init 0
[09:04] <White_Cat> I am not 100% confident that it isnt damaged
[09:04] <cluelessperson> Hey guys!  I'm getting an error in /apche2/error.log    .htaccess: RewriteEngine must be On or Off
[09:04] <cluelessperson> Anyone know what's the cause?
[09:04] <skittles> do sudo init 0
[09:04] <cluelessperson> skittles, I am hot, actually.
[09:04] <EriC^^> !ops | skittles
[09:04] <Phuzzy> Have a question about preseeding... i am trying to get a custom disk to install the "standard" task via preseed tasksel command, but no matter what format i use, it does not seem to work. any advice?
[09:04] <popey> skittles: stop now
[09:04] <White_Cat> wasnt he just banned?
[09:04] <White_Cat> man this guy must be bored
[09:04] <cfhowlett> popey, he's already been warned 2+
[09:05] <cluelessperson> lol
[09:05] <EriC^^> White_Cat: apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64-signed
[09:06] <EriC^^> White_Cat: also, apt-get install linux-image-generic
[09:06] <EriC^^> White_Cat: run apt-get update before installing the kernel
[09:07] <White_Cat> eek
[09:07] <White_Cat> I can abort?
[09:07] <Eric28> Can you change the purple boot menu to auto boot ubuntu?
[09:07] <EriC^^> White_Cat: did you run the linux-image installation?
[09:08] <White_Cat> yes
[09:08] <White_Cat> its downloading
[09:08] <White_Cat> now installing
[09:08] <EriC^^> np after it finishes run apt-get update then install the same package again
[09:08] <White_Cat> k
[09:08] <White_Cat> phew
[09:08] <EriC^^> Eric28: yes type sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[09:08] <White_Cat> --reinstall for linux image?
[09:09] <EriC^^> if there's a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT remove it then save with ctrl+o
[09:09] <EriC^^> Eric28: ^^
[09:09] <EriC^^> White_Cat: no
[09:10] <EriC^^> i think it should install a new version if it finds one
[09:11] <White_Cat> it didnt
[09:11] <Eric28> Thanks
[09:11] <White_Cat> 42 not upgraded
[09:11] <EriC^^> Eric28: if you do edit the file run sudo update-grub afterwards
[09:11] <White_Cat> wait 42? how mysterious
[09:11] <EriC^^> White_Cat: type exit
[09:12] <EriC^^> and try to boot it, if it works you can upgrade those packages with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:12] <White_Cat> for i am ! root now
[09:12] <White_Cat> removed usb flahdisk and rebooting
[09:15] <White_Cat> its booting?
[09:15] <EriC^^> ?
[09:15] <White_Cat> wohoo!
[09:15] <White_Cat> it works
[09:15] <White_Cat> its alive!
[09:15] <EriC^^> great!
[09:15] <EriC^^> :D
[09:16] <White_Cat> so dist-upgrade
[09:16] <EriC^^> yes
[09:17] <Phuzzy> im guessing thats a no then. Anyone know where i will have better luck with installer related support?
[09:17] <Tragicboy> does anyone know anything about the softraid in ubuntu/? I try running sudo mdadm --detal --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and get -bash: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf: Permission denied?
[09:18] <White_Cat> its not accepting my password I logged in with
[09:18] <White_Cat> what the
[09:19] <White_Cat> EriC^^ I am getting access denieds
[09:20] <Ben64> White_Cat: doing what
[09:20] <EriC^^> White_Cat: type sudo -l
[09:21] <White_Cat> yeah
[09:21] <White_Cat> its prompting a password which is incorrect
[09:21] <White_Cat> I logged in with it
[09:22] <Ben64> White_Cat: what is the output of the command "groups"
[09:23] <White_Cat> myusername adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[09:23] <White_Cat> root password isnt working either
[09:23] <murcha> hi, is there anyway to estimate the amount of cached files in ubuntu?
[09:23] <White_Cat> and its a copy paste
[09:23] <Ben64> there shouldn't be a root password
[09:23] <White_Cat> I defined one
[09:24] <Ben64> White_Cat: why
[09:24] <White_Cat> the password I logged in a minute ago is no longer letting me log back in?
[09:26] <White_Cat> I am so upset I can cry right now
[09:26] <White_Cat> why on earth can a password change itself on its own?
[09:26] <Ben64> it doesn't
[09:26] <EriC^^> White_Cat: do they both contain special chars?
[09:26] <White_Cat> I dont think I am imagining th invalid password prompt :p
[09:26] <EriC^^> could be a keyboard layout thing
[09:26] <White_Cat> no its a very simple password
[09:26] <White_Cat> 5 letters and 4 numbers
[09:27] <Ben64> i'm leaning towards "user error" at the moment
[09:27] <EriC^^> White_Cat: boot into recovery mode and set them again
[09:27] <EriC^^> check caps lock num lock
[09:27] <White_Cat> GAH
[09:27] <White_Cat> :D
[09:27] <White_Cat> root doesnt work still
[09:27] <Ben64> root shouldn't work
[09:27] <White_Cat> maybe it doesnt have a password defined
[09:27] <Ben64> theres no reason to enable root
[09:28] <White_Cat> indeed
[09:28] <White_Cat> maybe I just wrote down a password incase it was needed
[09:28] <Ben64> that makes no sense
[09:28] <White_Cat> I generated like 5-6 passwords
[09:29] <White_Cat> anyways it doesnt matter
[09:30] <White_Cat> now there is the matter of detecting tht drive
[09:30] <White_Cat> is there a command that can list all currently detected drives?
[09:30] <Ben64> you should probably fix your users first
[09:30] <somsip> White_Cat: sudo fdisk -l
[09:30] <EriC^^> yeah, first things first
[09:30] <White_Cat> it only shows a single drive :/
[09:30] <Ben64> and stop using root all the time
[09:30] <Tragicboy> this is buggin the hell outta me! Everytime i try to mount the drive, i get "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"?
[09:30] <White_Cat> I never use root all the time
[09:31] <Ben64> people have been telling you that since october
[09:31] <White_Cat> I was just trying to ssh to it for the first time
[09:31] <White_Cat> Ben64 and I stopped using it since october
[09:31] <White_Cat> no since september I think
[09:31] <Phuzzy> can anyone assist or direct me somewhere that could?
[09:32] <Ben64> Tragicboy: correct
[09:32] <Tragicboy> correct what correct?
[09:32] <Ben64> Tragicboy: correct, you do have to specify the filesystem type
[09:33] <Tragicboy> so do i do mount /dev/md127 /mnt/2TB -t auto?
[09:33] <Tragicboy> cause i tried that too, and still says that
[09:33] <Ben64> what type of filesystem is "auto"
[09:34] <Tragicboy> i read it was a command to use
[09:34] <Tragicboy> i'll try just saying ext4
[09:34] <Ben64> if its ext4, sure
[09:34] <jargon> anybody else having 403 Forbidden errors when running apt-get update or trying to install anything?
[09:35] <jargon> http://uk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages  <-- this URL 404s, for example
[09:35] <vegetablesalad19> Hello, I'm trying to pass password as input, but it doesn't work like that, am I doing something wrong? "printf 'password\n' | encfs ~/.coded ~/decoded"
[09:35] <jargon> in the browser. from terminal it 403s
[09:36] <Phuzzy> Jargon: that mirror is syncing. Try the main one (take the uk. out)
[09:37] <Tragicboy> Ben64 now i get this : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md127,
[09:37] <Tragicboy>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[09:37] <Tragicboy>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[09:37] <Tragicboy>        dmesg | tail  or so
[09:37] <jargon> Phuzzy: ok
[09:38] <Eric28> Installed steam multiple times from the software centre and it disappears on restart?
[09:38] <Eric28> Nevermind it only dissapears from the menu
[09:38] <cfhowlett> Eric28, are you booting from the HDD or from usb
[09:39] <Eric28> HDD, it dont work on USB
[09:39] <antoncpu> Hi.  Could anyone help me to solve a problem with Ubuntu 14.10 freezes? Roughly a month ago I upgraded from 14.04 (where I had no issues) and immediately started getting those strange freezes. They happen occasionally, mostly when I use Chrome. The screen freezes for about 10 seconds, then I see a black screen with a built-in monitor message "No signal" and after 10 seconds screen becomes normal again. Sometimes it doesn't so I ha
[09:39] <EriC^^> vegetablesalad19: why are you passing a password like that
[09:42] <jargon> Phuzzy: still 403ing. i removed uk from everything in my sources.list
[09:43] <Phuzzy> jargon: did you run and apt-get update again after doing so?
[09:43] <jargon> yes
[09:43] <jargon> that's where i'm getting the 403
[09:44] <jargon> Phuzzy: http://dpaste.com/26S809Z
[09:50] <murcha> hi, is there anyway to estimate the amount of cached files in ubuntu?
[09:50] <k1l> jargon: can you show your source.list?
[09:51] <Phuzzy> jargon: chances are the repo is being updated. Give it 30 minutes to finish
[09:52] <k1l> k1l> jargon: can you show your source.list?
[09:52] <jargon> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10270698/
[09:53] <satdav> !find discourse
[09:55] <k1l> jargon: ok, i thought there could be some typo. but that looks good so far. either your ISP got issues with routes or the servers are syncing. so give it some 30mins.
[09:56] <jargon> k1l: Phuzzy: ok i'll wait it out
[09:56] <jargon> thanks

[10:23] <antoncpu> So could anyone help me to solve a problem with Ubuntu 14.10 freezes? It happened once again while I was browsing this chat now
[10:27] <jatt> what freezes
[10:29] <promobi> hi
[10:29] <santhosh> haii
[10:29] <promobi> m from pune & you peoples ?
[10:29] <santhosh> hyderabad
[10:30] <inj3ct10n> hi
[10:30] <promobi> ok
[10:31] <antoncpu> jatt: The screen freezes for about 10 seconds, then I see a black screen with a built-in monitor message "No signal" and after 10 seconds screen becomes normal again. Sometimes it doesn't so I have to restart the computer, or there are some glithes (graphical artifacts) accross the screen so again I have to restart the machine. How to solve it? I'm sure it didn't happen before in 14.04 so it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.
[10:31] <jatt> check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old for errors/backtraces
[10:31] <k1l> antoncpu: intel video card?
[10:32] <jatt> could be a video driver issue
[10:32] <jstoone> Hi, is there a way for me to download the nginx-common soruce (1.6.2) manually?
[10:32] <santhosh> hai jatt that issue is not there in ubuntu 14.04 just check with hardware
[10:32] <jstoone> I'm on trusty.
[10:33] <antoncpu> k1l, jatt: Sapphire Radeon HD7750 1 GB
[10:33] <jatt> are you using fglrx or the open source drivers
[10:35] <antoncpu> open source, but I've tried to select fglrx (fglrx-updates) and after hitting "Apply changes" it selects back the open source ones.
[10:36] <jatt> try the latest proprietary drivers
[10:36] <jatt> are you sure you don't have backtraces in /var/log/Xorg* ?
[10:37] <k1l> or dmesg. or the older dmesg in /var/log
[10:37] <santhosh> dmesg can identify the issue ,if  any issue
[10:40] <antoncpu> k1l: dmesg output https://gist.github.com/antonCPU/47d19e3d154bc46b7eb0
[10:41] <jatt> you should check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old after you reboot after a freeze
[10:41] <jatt> dmesg will look clean if it doesn't freezes
[10:46] <antoncpu> jatt, k1l: Can see this message inside Xorg.0.old "Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)"
[10:46] <k1l> sudo apt-get install fglrx
[10:46] <k1l> make sure you got the kernel headers installed too
[10:47] <Browser> Hi. Where is the network configuration stored? /etc/network/interfaces doesn't show my current configuration.
[10:47] <antoncpu> k1l: The following packages have unmet dependencies:  fglrx : Depends: fglrx-core but it is not going to be installed
[10:48] <k1l> antoncpu: what ubuntu is it? do you have ppas enabled?
[10:48] <antoncpu> 14.10, how can I check "ppas"?
[10:48] <jatt> nothing else? that shows fglrx wasn't loaded but doesn't explain the freezes, sure no backtraces are there?
[10:48] <k1l> antoncpu: ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[10:50] <antoncpu> jatt: here is the file https://gist.github.com/antonCPU/da2ce2083e1cd5031c1e
[10:51] <antoncpu> k1l: no "ppas" in sources.list.d
[10:51] <jatt> i see very strange freeze then the driver didn't even had time to react. anyway with the latest proprietary drivers should work better i guess
[10:53] <antoncpu> jatt: could you clarify is it a correct way for installing the proprietary drivers http://askubuntu.com/questions/544217/how-to-install-proprietary-ati-amd-drivers-on-14-10 ?
[10:55] <jatt> I would go to the amd site and get the latest version for your card
[10:55] <k1l> nope
[10:56] <k1l> jatt: that way they dont have updates and need to reinstall after every kernel update
[10:56] <k1l> antoncpu: i would investigate why you cant install fglrx on your system
[10:57] <jatt> or, follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[10:57] <antoncpu> k1l: done "sudo aptitude remove fglrx", "sudo aptitude install fglrx" . There were several apps that were blocking installing so I had to remove them, now installation seems to be running
[10:58] <k1l> antoncpu: i prefer apt-get. but did it show any error on building the module?
[11:01] <antoncpu> k1l: here is the log https://gist.github.com/antonCPU/cc2bdab5a8ce35f84afb . Seems to be no errors. After it finishes I can see "fglrx" is select in "Additional drivers" settings.
[11:02] <k1l> antoncpu: ok, looks good.
[11:03] <dRealm> Under "System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts->Launchers", the default settings for "Home folder" is "Explorer".
[11:03] <antoncpu> k1l, jatt: thanks a lot for your help! Going to restart the computer, hope for the best
[11:04] <dRealm> How exactly (what key cominbations) do I launch the Home folder?
[11:05] <lukes7913> anyone know of any problems with 14.10 and display drivers? fresh install's just an unresponsive mess.

[11:21] <NoobsFlyVFR> I just installed SLiM and i3 on my Ubuntu Server 14.04 and tried setting the screen resolution with xrandr but every time I reboot, it's reverted back to 1024x768. Also, LVDS1 seems to be enabled by default. How do I fix this?
[11:22] <lukes7913> guys, is this significant? 'systemd-logind[1186]: Failed to start unit user@1000.service: Unkown unit: user@1000.service'

[11:28] <ghrs> hello
[11:30] <Laban> Hello!
[11:31] <Laban> I want to extract strings matching a certain regex from a text file. What's the best tool? Grep gets the whole line...
[11:32] <tharinduNA> hi ghrs
[11:32] <tharinduNA> sorry
[11:34] <re86> good morning, anyone here to offer some help?
[11:35] <ghrs> Laban: the -o flag may be of use
[11:35] <NoobsFlyVFR> Laban, you might want to try looking into ack .
[11:35] <k1l> re86: just ask
[11:35] <re86> k1l: cheers
[11:36] <Laban> -o sounds like the good stuff.
[11:36] <re86> I'm having an issue with suspend and wake. I have a HTPC running Ubuntu 14.04 with tvheadend
[11:36] <Laban> NoobsFlyVFR: ack? Not awk?
[11:37] <re86> however the system takes ages to suspend and then it won't wake back up properly and i have to manually hard reboot
[11:37] <re86> what options am i best looking at to why the system wont suspend immediately? Thanks
[11:37] <NoobsFlyVFR> Laban, awk's only faster. If you want something that's really fast, try ag.
[11:38] <NoobsFlyVFR> It supports semantic searches, multiple cores and parallel processing.
[11:40] <akaWolf> can someone say, which is current status of Compiz in latest Ubuntu? I mean, a few years ago it was very nice: 3d cube, fire effects, etc. but recently I have try to get this working in Ubuntu: most cool effects was deleted, even Compiz now is in Universal. what is situation now?

[12:05] <RahulAN> Hi all i am using lubuntu
[12:06] <RahulAN> i am trying to make my laptop as wifi hotspot
[12:06] <RahulAN> how can i??
[12:06] <RahulAN> I tried hostapd..
[12:06] <RahulAN> but it wont do any thing..
[12:06] <jargon> philinux: hmmm
[12:06] <RahulAN> is there any other way??
[12:08] <akaWolf> jargon: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[12:08] <lotuspsychje> RahulAN: http://www.howtogeek.com/116409/how-to-turn-your-ubuntu-laptop-into-a-wireless-access-point/
[12:08] <k1l> RahulAN: the networkmanager is easy for that
[12:09] <RahulAN> k1l, that not worked for me
[12:09] <jargon> akaWolf: not working :-(
[12:10] <akaWolf> jargon: what exactly?
[12:10] <jargon> lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE
[12:10] <jargon> akaWolf: ^
[12:11] <RahulAN> lotuspsychje, where to open in lubuntu
[12:12] <RahulAN> ??
[12:13] <lotuspsychje> RahulAN: http://askubuntu.com/questions/129579/creating-a-hotspot-in-lubuntu
[12:13] <RahulAN> also in down menu it is written that networkmanager is notrunning
[12:13] <akaWolf> jargon: I think, you should kill all *dm processes
[12:14] <akaWolf> jargon: and after "startx `which lxsession` -s Lubuntu -e LXDE"
[12:16] <akaWolf> jargon: because this scripts are executed by startx (xinit)
[12:17] <akaWolf> jargon: you are trying to start lxde session inside existing session
[12:18] <RahulAN> my network manager is not  working
[12:18] <RahulAN> is there any way to enable it??
[12:18] <jargon> akaWolf: this is for making a remote desktop connection work
[12:18] <akaWolf> jargon: maybe I'm wrong, ofc. but what xactly didnt work?
[12:18] <akaWolf> e
[12:18] <RahulAN> currently i used pppoeconfig to set up my connection
[12:18] <RahulAN> and pon dsl-provider for starting it
[12:19] <RahulAN>  need to use this ppp0 in wifi as a hotspot
[12:19] <RahulAN> so that i can connect my android with it.
[12:21] <MrElendig> just enable packet forwarding?
[12:22] <RahulAN> i started it but it shows device not managed.,. in both eth0 and wlan o
[12:22] <MrElendig> should check if your wifi card actually supports hostap first though
[12:22] <RahulAN> *wlan0
[12:22] <RahulAN> MrElendig, how to check it??
[12:23] <MrElendig> hostapd will yell at you if it doesn't
[12:24] <RahulAN> MrElendig, is there any package for doing this??
[12:24] <MrElendig> most cards/drivers that does mac80211 works
[12:24] <MrElendig> RahulAN: I just told you: hostapd
[12:25] <RahulAN> i installed hostapd
[12:25] <MrElendig> btw, first hit on google "http://seravo.fi/2014/create-wireless-access-point-hostapd"
[12:25] <MrElendig> also http://w1.fi/hostapd/
[12:25] <mac^^^> although I can rsync files to a Western Digital external usb hd, the data gets there but I lose ownership and perms ..... should I instead put a linux filesystem on it? do people do that?
[12:25] <MrElendig> mac^^^: it is a good idea not to use ntfs if you don't need to access it from windows, yes
[12:26] <mac^^^> tks
[12:26] <MrElendig> mac^^^: I would use btrfs due to snapshots and incremental send/recieve etc, but that is probably just me
[12:26] <MrElendig> inb4alltheantibtrfsfud
[12:27] <mac^^^> my backups worked as far as preserving data but I lost ownership and perms and thats a somewhat hassle if you have to restore directories
[12:28] <mac^^^> yes I like btrfs too

[12:54] <somsip> jadesoturi: create an A record to point to the IP of the server, assuming it's fixed
[12:54] <jadesoturi> yeah its a fixed ip in a /29 net. so no DNS server needed then: thx:)

[13:40] <re86> hello, which is best to use to remove a module rmmod or modprobe -r ?
[13:41] <survietanime> Hello, I've installed logcheck which depends on logtail, but apt tells me that this software is deprecated. How can I know which is the new software for that purpose please?
[13:42] <solsTiCe> re86: I use modprobe -r but I don't know which one is the the better one if there is one
[13:42] <survietanime> My goal is to right replacement for logcheck which I find not optimal
[13:42] <survietanime> to write
[13:43] <k1l> survietanime: with the change to systemd that will be different anyway
[13:43] <BluesKaj> !logcheck
[13:43] <re86> solsTiCe: cheers, i'm trying to get my tvheadend service running again after a suspend
[13:43] <survietanime> k1l: ok, I can imagine that, but for my "old" servers running 12.04?
[13:43] <solsTiCe> k1l: it is still a thing of the future right ? will it be in 15.04 I mean ystemd
[13:44] <k1l> solsTiCe: it will be standard for 16.04
[13:45] <k1l> survietanime: can you show the error you mean when installing it?
[13:45] <BluesKaj> solsTiCe, you can install it on 14.10..I have it and it seems ok
[13:46] <re86> has anyone got any tvheadend experience in here?
[13:46] <solsTiCe> BluesKaj: ok.
[13:48] <MarcoPolo> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TxvV6Nmfnk
[13:50] <BluesKaj> solsTiCe, you have to install systemd-sysv to make it default, after installing run ps -p 1 , in the terminal to see if it is.
[13:51] <BluesKaj> solsTiCe, after rebooting
[13:51] <solsTiCe> BluesKaj: I am hesitant to try that on ubuntu. I am used to systemd on archlinux for example... But
[13:53] <solsTiCe> re86: modprobe -r should (?) take care of dependancies (between module) from what I understand. rmmod will not
[13:57] <BluesKaj> solsTiCe, well, that's your call
[13:58] <solsTiCe> BluesKaj: does it boot faster ?
[13:58] <deunnero> What's this libdrm-radeon stuff that just installed via updates O_O
[13:59] <solsTiCe> As long the init are not converted to systemd servie I don't see the point, yet ?
[14:00] <BluesKaj> solsTiCe, think that depends on your HW, on this old amd 5200+ cpu/6G Ram , not much difference
[14:01] <re86> solsTiCe: thanks for that. I have tested with modprobe -r and it seems to work fine
[14:01] <re86> solsTiCe: When it comes to putting this into a sleep.d script, is there a particular number i should use so that it's ran before config.d modules ??
[14:02] <solsTiCe> re86: I don't know about that stuff
[14:05] <re86> solsTiCe: ok cheers
[14:05] <deunnero> oh.. Direct Rendering Management  :O
[14:05] <re86> anyone else got any knowledge on sleep.d scripts?
[14:05] <tomodachi> re86: im guessing there is nothing particular to it
[14:06] <tomodachi> basically the script gets launched when the machine goes to sleep
[14:06] <tomodachi> so its like any other script only its execution is different
[14:06] <prabhu_> I want to run firefox 35 in headless mode in ubuntu could someone help me with this
[14:06] <re86> i've noticed that others have numbers prefixed, are these so that they run in order?
[14:11] <solsTiCe> re86: look at SLEEP HOOK ORDERING CONVENTION in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/pm-action.8.html. that's a start

[14:29] <marianne> Hello group. anyone get Netflix working lately? It was working for me, but now it's dead...the app won't load from the software center either. any thoughts or help?
[14:30] <OerHeks> marianne, choose chrome, it can handle netflix drm nativly
[14:35] <marianne> OerHeks: Thank you... I was running netflix with the little emmulator, I disabled that and we're good now. Thank you very much... Now if I can get VUDU to play I'm be a really happy camper... any ideas for that,
[14:37] <daftykins> ah yes the modern bane of streaming services and their hatred for open software.
[14:38] <OerHeks> VUDU, never heard of that one.
[14:38] <caonicaldroid> does anyone know if odin will work good thru wine?
[14:38] <k1l> !wine | caonicaldroid

[14:39] <leeyaa> guys why nfs complains it count mount share http://paste.ubuntu.com/10274103/

[14:39] <leeyaa> statd is enabled at /etc/default/nfs-common
[14:39] <leeyaa> it cant*
[14:39] <k1l> wait, is odin the android flash thing? then i would not use wine at all
[14:39] <leeyaa> it can mount it fine if i use nolock
[14:39] <Exagone313> caonicaldroid: there is heimdall
[14:40] <daftykins> k1l: indeed
[14:40] <marianne> OerHeks: it's one of those sites that allows you to redeem and play digital copies of movies...
[14:40] <caonicaldroid> I used that and bricked my device :P
[14:40] <caonicaldroid> I need odin to unbrick it and do it correctly next time lol
[14:40] <daftykins> caonicaldroid: Windows only - and also questionable activity that i don't think this network can candone or support
[14:40] <daftykins> :)
[14:40] <daftykins> go nuts in #cyanogenmod maybe ;)
[14:41] <k1l> never needed odin for anything. ubuntu ships adb and fastboot. that is totally enough
[14:41] <caonicaldroid> Im just flashing a custom recovery to my android
[14:41] <Exagone313> daftykins: so if you want to format your computer tu replace windows to linux it is questionable activity? same thing with flashing
[14:42] <k1l> that is what fastboot is for
[14:42] <Exagone313> (i ston off topic as well)

[14:45] <micahf> i can't get multitouch to work in chrome!!!
[14:46] <micahf> it used to work on my acer w700 but it doesn't work in 14.04 on a thinkpad x220T
[14:46] <micahf> two-finger scroll and pinch to zoom work but not multiple touch events
[14:47] <cfhowlett> micahf, chrome browser?
[14:48] <micahf> yeah, chrome, chromium, chrome unstable, beta, none of them work any longer
[14:48] <micahf> I get one touch event but never more than one
[14:48] <caonicaldroid> im about sick of ubuntu freezing during important business lol
[14:48] <micahf> and I know chrome is built with aura now rather than GTK, so it should work in any of those builds
[14:50] <caonicaldroid> How hard would it be to just remake the exact odin for ubuntu?
[14:50] <xbustershin> EriC^^ still no go i've restored IMG of windows 8.1 going to update then reinstall ubuntu
[14:50] <micahf> cfhowlett, maybe I need to try in gnome instead of unity.  dunno why that would make the difference but I do seem to remember that I used to use gnome when it used to work
[14:50] <micahf> brb
[14:50] <xbustershin> going to disable updates so windows will not change boot
[14:50] <inex> JESUS HOLY FUCK I'M GETTING TIRED OF EARTHQUAKES AND SHIT KTHXBAI
[14:50] <k1l> caonicaldroid: go and make it.... or use adb and fastboot since that are the tools without the clicky flashy nice icons things
[14:51] <cfhowlett> micahf, or lxde xfce4 kde ...
[14:51] <internetman> does anyone know how I can get notified for the next flash sale of the Aquarius E4.5 Ubuntu phone?
[14:51] <caonicaldroid> i dont know how to use adb or fastboot that well yet
[14:51] <caonicaldroid> How would I make it tho i would need help lol
[14:51] <k1l> caonicaldroid: then stop with all that chat and go to reading
[14:52] <cfhowlett> internetman, same way we ALL get notified ...
[14:52] <internetman> cfhowlett: which way is that? :D

[15:00] <choki> jacobz1: yeah this is a great idea to autostart teamviewer! does it work_
[15:00] <jacobz1> yes it works, by "Computers & Contacts" pops up
[15:00] <jacobz1> it seems like this part of TW uses wine

[15:01] <sneezewort> I have this problem where when I come into work in the morning my previously locked system appears to have logged me out, and the login is on the wrong screen.
[15:02] <sneezewort> After I  type in my pass Instead of logging me in the login field switches to the correct screen.
[15:02] <choki> How do I install lib32asound2? There is no package for :(((
[15:02] <sneezewort> After typing my pass a second time then I am logged in.
[15:02] <sneezewort> Any idea what is happening?
[15:03] <sneezewort> I should also say that the system is not rebooting. If I run who - b I can see that the system has not rebooted since last Friday.
[15:04] <OerHeks> choki, install teamviewer 32 bit then. ( as there is no 64 bit  lib32asound2)
[15:04] <OerHeks> choki, it should be a warning on their crappy page.
[15:05] <jacobz1> choki: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/363-How-do-I-install-TeamViewer-on-my-Linux-distribution.aspx did you read that?
[15:06] <choki> OerHeks: If I do I get an error http://pastebin.com/0xeTu5C2
[15:06] <choki> I tried 32 bit and this is the error :((
[15:06] <choki> And I need version 9
[15:07] <OerHeks> choki, sory to hear that. what can we do?
[15:08] <choki> OerHeks: Idk, I tried with ´sudo gdebi teamviewer_linux.deb´ and the error appears. I think it is python and there may be a dependency or module i didnt install. i dont know how or which or what.
[15:08] <OerHeks> choki, the current is 10, use that one.
[15:09] <OerHeks> choki, or try apt-get install -f
[15:09] <choki> OerHeks: I cant use, because my boss wants version 9.
[15:11] <choki> OerHeks: What does this error mean?  http://pastebin.com/0xeTu5C2
[15:11] <OerHeks> choki,  i am not interested in fixing things that are closed source, demanded by your boss.
[15:12] <choki> OerHeks: Whats ur problem? teamviewer 10 is closed source too
[15:12] <choki> OerHeks: And my boss dont wants to buy another license just because he already has version 9
[15:12] <OerHeks> you said you are installing 9.

[15:32] <holoirc> Hallo
[15:32] <stangeland> OerHeks, i did pulseaudio --start and now it works
[15:32] <stangeland> however its very low
[15:33] <HoloPed> hi all, how do I setup Ubuntu to not boot into desktop ?
[15:33] <jatt> http://askubuntu.com/questions/92276/how-do-i-boot-into-true-text-mode
[15:33] <OerHeks> stangeland, nice you fixed it, just wonder what disabled it.
[15:34] <stangeland> OerHeks, yeah....that errormessage i got when i started totem gave me a hint
[15:34] <Li> dmesg detects tablet ... usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
[15:34] <stangeland> OerHeks, but why is it so low?
[15:34] <Li> but still not automatically mounted
[15:34] <Li> how to mount it?
[15:35] <OerHeks> stangeland, check alsamixer in terminal, maybe some slider is low
[15:35] <stangeland> OerHeks, where do i look inside that alsamixer program?
[15:36] <OerHeks> stangeland, enlarge it, it might hide more sliders to the rightside
[15:37] <stangeland> OerHeks, its fullscreen
[15:39] <OerHeks> stangeland, it differs per soundcard, can you post a screenshot?
[15:43] <HoloPed> What is "single user mode" ?
[15:44] <ikonia> a mode locking the system to one default user off the network
[15:44] <ikonia> with minimal services running
[15:44] <HoloPed> oh
[15:44] <HoloPed> not what I need then,
[15:45] <HoloPed> do you know how I can setup ubuntu to not run X on startup ?
[15:45] <HoloPed> so I'm just left in terminal
[15:45] <ikonia> disable the desktop manager
[15:45] <HoloPed> after boot
[15:45] <hubble25> Single user mode is one of run level in Linux; this is also called as Init 1, in this mode all the filesytems will be mounted in read-write mode and can be modified by anybody; this is very insecure because it won’t ask password for login unless you have configured grub password. In this mode networking services (NFS, NIS, DNS and many more) won’t start (Ubuntu has option to start networking support), it is mainly used for troubleshooting system and
[15:45] <hubble25> administrative tasks by the super user. In Ubuntu, it is very easy to enter into single user mode because it has own recovery kernel option in the grub menu.
[15:46] <hubble25> Isn't the unity desktop different to X?
[15:46] <hubble25> what about Ubuntu server?
[15:47] <HoloPed> I'm not sure
[15:47] <HoloPed> total newb here
[15:47] <hubble25> ikonia?
[15:47] <ikonia> disabling the login manager will stop X from loading
[15:47] <ikonia> so don't worry about the desktop, just disable the login manager
[15:49] <hubble25> Oh OK
[15:49] <bynarie> can anyone help me diagnose a usb problem. i get an error like "string descriptor 0 malformed" when booting.. http://files.androidhacker.us/error.jpg - error message
[15:50] <Prdel> hello
[15:50] <bynarie> i have also copied the output of dmsg - http://files.androidhacker.us/dmesg_usb
[15:54] <hubble25> Is anyone in Baltimore or New York.

[15:57] <Tumulte> hello
[15:58] <hubble25> Hello Tumulte
[15:59] <Tumulte> I'd like to run a script without a password (sudo). I know that I should use visudo/NOPSSWD... but do the script need specific chmood/chown ?
[15:59] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: no, it has to be run as the user you gave sudo access.
[16:00] <choki2> join #mint
[16:01] <Tumulte> OpenTokix: odd. I still have the PW prompt swowing
[16:01] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: and if you use sudo as the user from a shell it works?
[16:01] <bynarie> Tumulte, its NOPASSWD, not NOPSSWD
[16:02] <Tumulte> bynarie: yeah, the typo's not in visudo but thx
[16:02] <re86> im trying to run a sleep.d script but under pm-suspend.log im getting suspend: not executable. I have done chmod -x but still same error, any thoughts??
[16:02] <bynarie> oh ok just makin sure Tumulte
[16:02] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: and you have exited visudo and saved the file?
[16:02] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: and relogged in?
[16:03] <Tumulte> OpenTokix: not the later no
[16:03] <bynarie> shouldnt have to log out/in, might have to reopen a shell though
[16:03] <Tumulte> ok thanks a lot
[16:03] <Tumulte> OpenTokix: maybe a way to reload the settings ?
[16:03] <Tumulte> source visudo...
[16:03] <Tumulte> or whatever
[16:04] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: exec bash
[16:04] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: or start a new loginshell
[16:04] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: is the script run by cron or similar?
[16:06] <Tumulte> OpenTokix: no, it's for a ssh exec
[16:06] <mazzy> I'm running Ubuntu server 14.04 on a VM in VirtualBox. It has a nested DHCP which assign ip addresses to interfaces of the machine. The default behaviour is to assign ip address to eth0 interface. I have created one other interface but it doesn't receive ip address. Where is the config file in which I can which interface will get the ip address?
[16:06] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: you are runnign like ssh user@machine "/path/to/script"
[16:06] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: or ssh user@machine "sudo /path/to/script" ?
[16:07] <mazzy> any idea about that ?
[16:07] <OpenTokix> mazzy: /etc/network/interfaces
[16:08] <mazzy> mmh
[16:08] <re86> OpenTokix: do you have any advice for sleep.d scripts?
[16:08] <Tumulte> OpenTokix: yeah, that
[16:08] <mazzy> I have already tried to add the interface
[16:08] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: Yeah "that" it was two options
[16:08] <mazzy> but It didn't reiceve the dhcp
[16:08] <OpenTokix> mazzy: how did you add it?
[16:09] <OpenTokix> mazzy: it should be: iface eth1 inet dhcp
[16:09] <mazzy> I'm going to post my commands
[16:09] <OpenTokix> and then ifup eth1
[16:09] <OpenTokix> mazzy: And if you want it to run at boot auto eth1 before iface eth1-line
[16:09] <OpenTokix> Tumulte: Im going afk in 2 minutes, fyi

[16:11] <OpenTokix> mazzy: yes, that looks correct - and when you do ifup br0 it dont get not ip?
[16:11] <OpenTokix> mazzy: Is this the virtual ubuntu ?
[16:11] <OpenTokix> mazzy: did you install bridge-utils ?
[16:12] <OpenTokix> *gone*
[16:12] <mazzy> here I am
[16:12] <mazzy> yes that is the config of virtual ubuntu
[16:12] <hubble25> Is anyone in Baltimore or New York?
[16:13] <cfhowlett> hubble25, there are local user groups in both cities
[16:13] <mazzy> at the boot br0 stuck at DHCP DISCOVER and it doesn't receive any ip
[16:13] <mazzy> I'm going to check if I have bridge-utils
[16:13] <hubble25> Thanks cfhowlett
[16:17] <mazzy> bridge-utils wasn't installed. I have installed right now OpenTokix
[16:17] <mazzy> I'm going to text if it works
[16:20] <mazzy> nope
[16:20] <mazzy> It doesn't work
[16:21] <mazzy> I'm stuck at the boot with waiting for 120 seconds for network device. damnit
[16:23] <blastoader> Is it normal my boot screen has sth like "partition not ready, press S to skip or wait" ..that's for I encrypted my Home folder during installation..
[16:24] <Client_0> Hi ! I have an old HTC EVO phone sitting on my shelf and I was wondering if there is some way to repurpose it using ubuntu like a mini tablet with differnt functionality than my phone.
[16:24] <Client_0> blastoader ya thats normal
[16:25] <cfhowlett> !touch | Client_0,
[16:25] <blastoader> ok
[16:26] <mazzy> I come from CentOS and I used OVSDHCPINTERFACES="eth0"
[16:27] <mazzy> in that way I could tell to that interface to use the dhcp from eth0 interface
[16:28] <Client_0> I have read up on touch a bit but my main concern is weather or not the drivers will be compatible since its older model hardware
[16:30] <Client_0> well I'm not doing anything else with it gonna give touch a shot
[16:30] <Client_0> thanks for the help guys !

[16:48] <mazzy> no ipv4 address assigned
[16:48] <sudormrf> ello all.  anyone have a suggestion for a good journal program?  was looking at rednotebook, but that may not work out well.  self-hosted may ultimately be the best option if I can find something that I like.  that would allow for it to be the same across all platforms
[16:48] <sudormrf> suggesions?

[16:53] <O_OniGiri> Hi there, I was wondering if someone knows how to fix the bug where Chromium boot takes like 10 seconds on first launch. But gradually it boots faster. Does someone know how to fix this?
[16:54] <mazzy> BluesKaj
[16:54] <mazzy> I'm running inside virtualbox
[16:54] <mazzy> what should I expect from lspci ?
[16:54] <mazzy> ok lets try to explain the issues
[16:55] <mazzy> When I run Open vSwitch on CentOS
[16:55] <mazzy> everything works
[16:55] <mazzy> http://pastebin.com/dwWmbXVm
[16:55] <cfhowlett> mazzy, ?  meaningless here.  centos is not ubuntu or vice versa
[16:56] <mazzy> this was the configuration I was usually to use
[16:57] <squarepheonix> so I'm just looking to learn, can anyone recommend an ubuntu manual?
[16:57] <BluesKaj> mazzy, nevermind i know nothing about openswitch or centos
[16:57] <squarepheonix> I do have 'Linux in a nutshell'
[16:57] <cfhowlett> !manual | squarepheonix
[16:57] <mazzy> thanks to OVSDHCPINTERFACES I could specify all the interfaces that can reach the DHCP server
[16:57] <bazhang> !rute | and this squarepheonix
[16:57] <mazzy> in ubuntu it seems that this command doesn't exist
[16:57] <mazzy> and when the system run it doesn
[16:57] <cfhowlett> squarepheonix, also : www.fullcirclemagazine.org/downloads         get issue #0, read, Get issue #1, read, repeat
[16:58] <bazhang> mazzy, sudo dhclient eth0
[16:58] <squarepheonix> thank you ubottu
[16:58] <bazhang> mazzy, please , there is zero reason to mention centos, what it does or does not do here
[16:59] <squarepheonix> yeah !manual is not getting e anywhere
[16:59] <bazhang> squarepheonix, it's a link to a pdf
[17:00] <mazzy> my problem is how to give to br0 the ip address
[17:00] <angela->  well i whas succes vul to upgrate ubuntu 1404 to 1410
[17:00] <mazzy> I have run dhclient br0
[17:00] <mazzy> as bazhang suggest
[17:00] <Guest49392> mazzy: what OS?
[17:00] <bazhang> mazzy, sudo dhclient br0 or whatever
[17:00] <compdoc> A bridge can have an ip address
[17:00] <squarepheonix> thats dd, how do I get to the  or is it not accessible in ircii?
[17:00] <squarepheonix> [A
[17:00] <mazzy> yes campdoc and I'm trying to reach that
[17:01] <Guest49392> mazzy: you can add it to defaults in /etc/defaults
[17:01] <Guest49392> i'm grabbing the settings now.
[17:03] <squarepheonix> !manual | testing
[17:03] <squarepheonix> oh cool

[17:18] <davidfetter_fbn> hello
[17:18] <davidfetter_fbn> i'd like to separate the steps of upgrading software from restarting services, in particular for PostgreSQL.
[17:19] <davidfetter_fbn> which resources should i be looking at for this?
[17:19] <jirido_> Hi. Her comes a Q . I would like to use an external program to create and manage databases on my ubuntu server.. Logicaly i would like to log in as root to be able to do that.. but ubuntu does not have root right. Do i have to enable root to do that or what?
[17:20] <davidfetter_fbn> jirido_, logging in as root is what you do when you can't figure out anything else to do. what specific kinds of databases are you trying to create?
[17:23] <jirido_> davidfetter_fbn: I am not there yet but maria and mysql i think
[17:24] <jirido_> davidfetter_fbn: Like manage them over the net from this mashine
[17:25] <davidfetter_fbn> jirido_, you might want to see whether there's already something that does this. building is expensive
[17:25] <jirido_> No i dont want to build
[17:26] <jirido_> davidfetter_fbn: Ther is programs that do that but i guess i would have to log in as root to be able to make databases
[17:32] <Guest49392> mazzy: in /etc/defaults/docker.io
[17:32] <Guest49392> mazzy: add this line "DOCKER_OPTS='--bip=10.10.199.1/24'
[17:33] <Guest49392> mazzy: or any subnet you want to use.
[17:34] <mazzy> Guest 49392
[17:34] <mazzy> Guest49392
[17:34] <mazzy> wait I don't understand
[17:34] <mazzy> why do you say to insert ip address on docker file?
[17:34] <Guest49392> why?
[17:35] <Guest49392> it's the default configuration or else docker will automatically assign a subnet for your bridge
[17:35] <mazzy> why do you think I'm using docker?
[17:35] <Guest49392> i'm sorry...
[17:35] <Guest49392> this was Virtualbox?
[17:36] <mazzy> Iyes
[17:36] <mazzy> I'm using openvswitch
[17:36] <Guest49392> oh.. o.k.
[17:36] <Guest49392> i apologize.
[17:41] <sn33zy> is there a way to get it to where i can use my earbuds headphones mic (non usb) instead of the built in laptop mic?
[17:42] <OerHeks> sn33zy, only if your soundcard/laptop has that 1 plug-for-headphone+mic
[17:43] <OerHeks> else you need a converter
[17:43] <ubuntu> HI
[17:43] <onla> Can I link a tablet running ubuntu to a display station system that hook it up as multimonitor system like this on windows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUI2q1GDsdQ ?
[17:43] <sn33zy> OerHeks: what do you mean by 1 plug-for-headphones+mic?  like a jack that handles both?
[17:43] <Guest2247> Hello
[17:43] <Guest2247> I HATE UBUNTUUUUUUUUUUU
[17:44] <Guest2247> !!!111!!!!!
[17:44] <OerHeks> sn33zy, see http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-M-F-Earphone-Headphone-Stereo-Audio-Cable-Adapter-F-PC-Laptop-Speaker-Mic-/370937497770
[17:44] <SchrodingersScat> !ot | Guest2247
[17:46] <k1l> onla: not so far, since the unity8 desktop is still in the works.
[17:47] <onla> and those display stations I wonder if they support linux. Not sure what is on that video, but another one called plugable ud-3900 doesnt support linux at least
[17:48] <onla> that kind of station would be necessary perhaps, since those low-end tablet would probably have hard time processing the graphics on dual monitor system with the other monitor being on some 1900x1080
[17:48] <k1l> onla: i bet its a closed thing for microsoft only.
[17:49] <onla> http://plugable.com/products/ud-3900 so a similar to this but supporting linux in the hunt
[17:50] <k1l> onla: i bet when the unity convergance is set up there will be manufacturers who will offer solutions
[17:51] <onla> and that would be like a year or more from now?
[17:52] <k1l> at least a year. some others like android and motorola did already fail at this. so its not an easy task.but that is better suited into #ubuntu-touch
[17:55] <AegNuddel> oh wow
[17:56] <wizkidsafo> Greetings, So I have this problem where when I do something simple as browsing the internet my desktop freezes and the screen dims as if its about to power the screen off My  specs->  http://gyazo.com/ca5361f6c77f31d9759a0d3a1b3828bf
[17:56] <wizkidsafo> any tips?
[17:57] <AegNuddel> It's been FOREVER since I have used this computer.  I'm still on Lucid Lynx!  Anyway, is there a newer Flash player for Ubuntu?  And the OS did suggest upgrading to me, but how do I know if my system will support it?
[17:57] <OerHeks> AegNuddel, nope, not for your version, lucid desktop is EOL, time to upgrade
[17:58] <OerHeks> !lucid
[17:59] <AegNuddel> Yeah, this was a college computer
[17:59] <AegNuddel> I know
[18:00] <AegNuddel> I remember having to fool around and get Windows out of the way
[18:01] <AegNuddel> I just want to know how I know if my hardware will support the upgrade.
[18:01] <k1l> wizkidsafo: see "dmesg" what it lists there after that freeze
[18:03] <sudormrf> anyone in here aware of a good japanese-japanese dictionary for ubuntu?  I found j-e dictionaries, looking for j-j.
[18:04] <k1l> sudormrf: better ask in the japanese channel? :)
[18:04] <sudormrf> k1l, #ubuntu-japanese?
[18:04] <k1l> !jp | sudormrf
[18:04] <sudormrf> thanks!
[18:06] <AegNuddel> How can I find out if my hardware will support the current release of Ubuntu?
[18:07] <Shoe14> Guys wifi-menu is not installed so how do I connect to a network on Ubuntu server?
[18:08] <LordDragon> anyone know of a driver for the soundblaster Z sound card sereis?
[18:08] <rww> AegNuddel: make a Live CD/USB, boot it, and see
[18:09] <Shoe14> Someone?
[18:10] <bazhang> Shoe14, a menu on server?
[18:10] <AegNuddel> I'm not sure if this can boot from usb, as that was not an option in BIOS, and the cd-rom drive won'r open
[18:10] <Shoe14> bazhang: ?
[18:10] <bazhang> Shoe14, server is cli
[18:10] <Shoe14> bazhang: dialog
[18:11] <AegNuddel> won't
[18:11] <rww> bazhang: so is wifi-menu
[18:11] <Shoe14> Uhh, so how do I connect to a network?
[18:11] <rww> Shoe14: set up /etc/network/interfaces
[18:11] <wlls> That is what I"m trying to find out
[18:12] <Shoe14> How so?
[18:13] <squarepheonix> Shoe14: you have to connect a ethernet and install the wifi drivers
[18:13] <Shoe14> ...
[18:13] <Shoe14> Seripusly
[18:13]  * rww shakes head
[18:13] <Shoe14> I mean, I installed it all from WiFi
[18:14] <Shoe14> ... Why isn't it included
[18:14] <squarepheonix> I'm not sure what you're asking then
[18:14] <kiborg> How do I install Nvidia drivers? I used a bunch of tutorials and I cant get to part 2
[18:14] <squarepheonix> I came in halfway through convo..
[18:14] <rww> Shoe14: ignore squarepheonix. What type of wifi network do you have? WPA/WPA2 or something else?
[18:14] <kiborg> if I turn xserv off I can't get the terminal to show
[18:15] <Shoe14> rww: wpa2/pks
[18:15] <k1l> kiborg: "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"
[18:15] <k1l> kiborg: dont load the stuff from websites
[18:15] <rww> Shoe14: does sudo ifconfig -a have a paragraph for wlan0?
[18:16] <Shoe14> rww: yeah
[18:16] <MDTech-us_MAN> hello
[18:16] <rww> Shoe14: sudoedit /etc/network/interfaces, add the following three lines to the end: iface wlan0 inet dhcp                  wpa-ssid "NETWORK SSID HERE"               wpa-psk "NETWORK PASSWORD HERE"
[18:16] <kiborg> k1l why not? It is the official nvidia site after all.
[18:16] <MDTech-us_MAN> I had some funky stoff going on with my root drive, but its all ok now
[18:16] <rww> once you've done that, save and quit, then see if    sudo ifup wlan0    works
[18:17] <BluesKaj> kiborg, which graphics ?
[18:17] <MDTech-us_MAN> the system remounted it read only
[18:17] <k1l> kiborg: why dont you use the drivers already made working with ubuntu? so you get automated updates and dont loose the driver after kernel update
[18:17] <MDTech-us_MAN> how to I switch back to read write
[18:17] <kiborg> Nvidia Gforce 970
[18:18] <k1l> kiborg: use the xorg-edgers PPA for a driver that supports your card
[18:18] <k1l> kiborg: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[18:19] <AegNuddel> hmm failed to fetch
[18:20] <kiborg> So this is a ppa for official nvidia drivers? I am confused... ( Sorry still quite a noob)
[18:20] <wizkidsafo> k1l: would you like to see a screenshot of what dmesg displayed?
[18:20] <Shoe14> rww: uhh, how do I split that into three lines?
[18:21] <rww> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[18:21] <wizkidsafo> k1l: I have no idea how to understand what im looking at.....'yet'
[18:21] <BluesKaj> xoerg edgers don't support thier drivers very well, they fail on upgrades, kiborg recommend you install the "recommended driver", which is probly the nvidia-331 or the nvidia-340
[18:21] <rww> wpa-ssid "NETWORK SSID HERE"
[18:21] <rww> wpa-psk "NETWORK PASSWORD HERE"
[18:21] <rww> Shoe14: like that ^
[18:21] <Shoe14> Okay
[18:21] <k1l> wizkidsafo: do you need to restart after that freeze?
[18:22] <Shoe14> And how do I escape the space in my ssid?
[18:22] <wizkidsafo> k1l: no, it freezes and then unfreezes frequently
[18:22] <rww> Shoe14: you don't, the quotation marks handle that
[18:22] <Shoe14> I used '\ '
[18:22] <Shoe14> Oh okay
[18:22] <k1l> wizkidsafo: the load "dmesg" text to a pastebin and show the link here
[18:22] <rww> Shoe14: anyways. Add that, sudo ifup wlan0, see if everything's working. If it does, edit the file again and add auto wlan0 before those four lines
[18:22] <rww> i have to wander off for work stuff
[18:22] <k1l> !paste | wizkidsafo

[18:27] <Tumulte> hello
[18:28] <k1l> wizkidsafo: what machine is that? what does it run?
[18:29] <squarepheonix> exit
[18:29] <squarepheonix> quit
[18:29] <wizkidsafo> k1l: ubuntu 14.04
[18:29] <k69> hi, may i ask that how can i find what mcast address and what mcast port my eth0 is using? i cannot find very good searches
[18:30] <k1l> wizkidsafo: is this a software raid?
[18:30] <Tumulte> I'm using visudo to allow a script to be run as root for user (me). Yet it still promt the PW input
[18:30] <nadarajah> hallo
[18:31] <wizkidsafo> k1l: software raid? its a fresh install of the distro
[18:31] <Shoe14> rww: yeah, no. Doesn't work. https://i.imgur.com/y8vlfBp.jpg
[18:31] <Shoe14> This is stuck in an infinite loop
[18:32] <Shoe14> And I have to reboot to get out of it
[18:32] <k1l> wizkidsafo: hardware: software raid?
[18:32] <ikonia> Tumulte: suggests your rule is wrong
[18:32] <wizkidsafo> k1l: neither
[18:32] <Shoe14> Looks like I'll be using Ethernet to download wifi-menu
[18:32] <Tumulte> ikonia: tumulte ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /home/tumulte/script.sh
[18:33] <k1l> wizkidsafo: you do have issues with processes  with the kernel with jbd2
[18:33] <ikonia> Tumulte: ALL=(ALL)
[18:34] <wizkidsafo> k1l: can you elaborate in elementary terms
[18:34] <ikonia> or just ALL = NOPASWD: /home/tumulte/script.sh
[18:34] <ikonia> PASSWD
[18:34] <k1l> wizkidsafo: file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug linux-image" and see what the kernel guys think about that
[18:35] <wizkidsafo> k1l: the channel i assume?
[18:35] <k1l> wizkidsafo: there is a process blocking your system for 120seconds. i am not sure what the reason is, but if you file a bug report the developers can see the errorsmessages and work on that issue.
[18:36] <k1l> put "ubuntu-bug linux-image" into your terminal and follow the process
[18:37] <BluesKaj> user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL works for me in sudoers/visudo
[18:38] <wizkidsafo> k1l: do you know of any packages that must be installed. I get an error message "cant be reported: the report belongs to a package that is not installed."
[18:39] <k1l> erm, try: "ubuntu-bug linux-image-generic"
[18:41] <Tumulte> ikonia: as simple as that :)
[18:42] <jirido_> I have installed U-server and when trying su i get asked for a password.. should this not be disabled by default. Can i check the status of this somehow?
[18:42] <wizkidsafo> k1l: so what I understand what that does is it sends a report to the devs. ant they will get back to me?
[18:43] <Bashing-om> !sudo | jirido_
[18:44] <k1l> wizkidsafo: if you want that issue to be solved in ubuntu you need to report bugs to the devs. then it gets filed on launchpad.net (you need to make an account there) and the devs can then request more inforamtions etc if needed or ask about specific hardware specs etc.
[18:44] <jirido_> Bashing-om: i know this about sudo but i want to know for sure that i dont have root login enabled
[18:47] <Bashing-om> jirido_: By default there is no "root password" unless you have altered that default . Then you would know that you did .
[18:47] <wizkidsafo> k1l: okay, thanks for attempting to find a solution. I've ignored it for 4 months and it has been getting to me
[18:48] <k1l> wizkidsafo: i dont know how to solve that issue besides making the errormessage to disapear. so you will need the devs to dig into it
[18:48] <jirido_> Bashing-om: Well a friend helped me some :)
[18:52] <analphabet> Hey, I'm having trouble burning the ubuntu 14.04 iso image on a DVD. Everytime I try, the DVD just stays empty. Can you help me?
[18:53] <jirido_> Bashing-om: I found it. sudo usermod -p '!' root
[18:53] <jhutchins> analphabet: Probably not. What system are you running on the burner?
[18:53] <ioria> analphabet: are you using a iso burn utility or are you just copyng it ?
[18:53] <analphabet> jhutchins: windows 7
[18:54] <analphabet> ioria: using windows' iso burn utility
[18:54] <jhutchins> analphabet: Did you verify the md5sum of the iso file?
[18:54] <analphabet> jhutchins: nope
[18:55] <jhutchins> analphabet: Start there.
[18:55] <ioria> analphabet: try another  iso burn utility
[18:56] <analphabet> ioria: i also tried cdburnerxp, but no luck there either
[18:56] <analphabet> jhutchins: will do
[18:58] <Diplomat> Anyone has any experience with squid proxy ?
[18:59] <fazz> I use squid...
[18:59] <fazz> what is the question?
[19:00] <Diplomat> Okay so I have multiple IPs in my server.. so when I'm connecting to one of those IPs I'd like that IP to be outgoing IP too, but for some reason it defaults to main IP. Any ideas how I could fix that ?
[19:00] <ikonia> Diplomat: it will proxy depending on your routing table
[19:00] <Diplomat> ikonia: you mean iptables ?
[19:01] <ikonia> no
[19:01] <ikonia> I mean your routing table
[19:01] <ikonia> and thus your squid config based on that routing table
[19:01] <fazz> you can configure which IP to use.
[19:01] <fazz> just set it in the settings...
[19:01] <fazz> instead of using 0.0.0.0
[19:01] <fazz> you would use the IP you want.
[19:02] <Diplomat> fazz: That's what I'm trying to do, but I'm not sure how yet
[19:02] <fazz> one sec.
[19:02] <fazz> let me get my config
[19:02] <Diplomat> I sould make this acl for every IP i have ?
[19:02] <analphabet> ioria: another question: It says on the download page, that 32bit is only to be used for computers with less than 2GB RAM.. Mine has 4GB but it's running windows 7 32bit
[19:03] <Shoe14> Guys how do I install a .deb file from CLI?
[19:03] <Diplomat> analphabet: 32bit machine can't use more than 2GB RAM.. no matter what OS you are using
[19:03] <ioria> analphabet: it shouldn't be a problem, i think
[19:03] <k1l> Shoe14: sudo dpkg -i package.deb
[19:03] <Diplomat> I think it was 2gb
[19:03] <ikonia> yes you can
[19:03] <fazz> # Squid normally listens to port 3128
[19:03] <fazz> http_port 0.0.0.0:3128
[19:03] <ikonia> you can use more than 2GB
[19:03] <fazz> in /etc/squid/squid.conf
[19:03] <ikonia> thats the listen address
[19:03] <ikonia> that is not the masquarde proxy address
[19:04] <k1l> Diplomat: see PAE, ubuntu uses that
[19:04] <Diplomat> Oh yea sorry my bad it's exactly 4GB
[19:04]  * analphabet checks system specs again
[19:04] <k1l> but there is no reason to use 32bit if your hardware can use 64bit
[19:04] <Diplomat> Here's a good article: http://lifehacker.com/5431284/the-lifehacker-guide-to-64-bit-vs-32-bit-operating-systems
[19:04] <Ulfalizer> is there some nice way to get the sources corresponding to a particular version of a package and set up the right gdb paths? i'm trying to debug an issue with a package, and just the debug symbols aren't very helpful in and of themselves.
[19:04] <Diplomat> fazz: yes I have it so.. it accepts ALL IPs, but outgoing IP is still the main IP
[19:05] <ikonia> you don't need source code to use gdb
[19:05] <fazz> i see...let me digest this.
[19:05] <Ulfalizer> ikonia: if i want to see the source code i do :)
[19:05] <ikonia> then what are you on about "setup all the right paths"
[19:06] <virgilia> i entered "sudo socat TCP4-LISTEN:80,fork TCP4:myip:8080" now how do i undo it?
[19:06] <Ulfalizer> gdb needs to know where the source files are to display them. otherwise you just get filename/lino.
[19:06] <ikonia> Ulfalizer: it doesn't need the source
[19:07] <ikonia> you can pull the source package if you really feel you need it
[19:07] <fazz> the easiest might be to make your main IP the ip you want to connect to the internet on.
[19:07] <Ulfalizer> it needs it if you want to see what the source lines look like. debugging information does not include source code.
[19:07] <analphabet> so, you're sure I need the 64bit version?
[19:08] <k1l> analphabet: there is no reason not to use 64bit
[19:08] <fazz> you can then add the other IP's to your loopback.
[19:08] <Ulfalizer> the cumbersome way would be to just check out the right version of the package's source and set up paths manually, but thought this might be a common thing for devs to do so that there was something that automatically does it for you
[19:10] <CrtxReavr> FreeBSD has a snoop device and watch(1) utility that let's you take-ever a disconnected terminal.
[19:10] <CrtxReavr> linux/ubuntu have any such means?
[19:10] <ikonia> CrtxReavr: tmux, screen
[19:10] <CrtxReavr> Not what I'm talking abut.
[19:11] <Bashing-om> jirido_: Ya done better than I, All I found was to examine the '/etc/shadow' file . thanks for the sharing .
[19:11] <jirido_> :)
[19:11] <TJ-> Ulfalizer: usually, if you start gdb from the package's root directory, and use "--directory=$PWD" gdb should get the relative paths, but I've had issues in the past whereby it needed a "--directory=" ("-d ...") for each directory in the source tree
[19:12] <jirido_> Bashing-om: Sweet that you were looking. Thanks
[19:12] <Diplomat> ikonia: you mean this: cat /etc/iproute2/rt_tables ?
[19:13] <ikonia> Diplomat: no
[19:13] <Diplomat> lol
[19:13] <Diplomat> okay I'll keep digging in google
[19:13] <Ulfalizer> TJ-: hmm... i think i remember needing to do something like that earlier as well. the debug information itself seems to have paths like /build/buildd/ncurses-5.9+20140118/ncurses/base/lib_getch.c:643, so would need to rewrite it with some gdb options i guess.
[19:13] <Ulfalizer> build server paths, obviously :P
[19:14] <TJ-> Ulfalizer: Yeah... I suspect it works when you do a schroot build and keep the chroot :)
[19:15] <analphabet> k1l: it says in that article that the processor needs to support 64bit... and I'm not sure if mine does that. It's a fairly old computer
[19:15] <Ulfalizer> just discovered "apt-get source" at least. that takes care of one step. :)
[19:15] <Diplomat> But the thing is, I had something in my config file that made it work perfectly before, but that server got reinstalled and I kinda lost that config..
[19:15] <k1l> analphabet: that is what i said, too. so what is your cpu?
[19:16] <analphabet> k1l: I don't know, that's one of my problems right now
[19:16] <ioria> analphabet: start - right click on Computer
[19:16] <Ulfalizer> would be nice if the sources were installed in the path the debugging info points to. then it would work automagically...
[19:16] <ioria> analphabet: and properties
[19:17] <analphabet> Pentium(R) Dual-Core T4300
[19:17] <fazz> Diplomat: did you get my answer?
[19:17] <Bashing-om> jirido_: I had never thought about it, and the possible existence of an unlocked root account got my interest .
[19:17] <k1l> analphabet: that can go 64bit
[19:18] <Diplomat> fazz: sorry man, I think I missed it
[19:18] <ioria> analphabet: yep
[19:18] <analphabet> o.O
[19:18] <jirido_> Bashing-om: So you are saying you'r not sweet :) You macho pig!
[19:18] <analphabet> why did they ship it with win32bit in the first place, then... amazing :)
[19:19] <fazz> Diplomat: setup the IP for your main, and other IP's in your loopback, as long as same subnet.
[19:19] <CMSloveDD> hey guys
[19:19] <CMSloveDD> how can i manually enable an upstart service
[19:19] <ioria> analphabet: no clue. any luck with the iso ?
[19:19] <CMSloveDD> i mean where does upstart save the configuration which service gets started
[19:19] <k1l> analphabet: we cant answer microsofts businessplans :)
[19:19] <CMSloveDD> i mean manully, not with service enable
[19:19] <CMSloveDD> /sbin/init is not runny
[19:20] <analphabet> ioria: I'm downloading the 64bit image now, will take a while :)
[19:20] <Ulfalizer> TJ-: 'set substitute-path /build/buildd /home/ulf' worked (i put the sources there) :)
[19:20] <Diplomat> fazz: hmm.. and that should do the job ?
[19:21] <ioria> analphabet: but the iso burning has nothing to do with the cpu
[19:21] <fazz> Diplomat: as long as you don't mind all traffic going out through Main IP.
[19:21] <analphabet> ioria: nope, should it?
[19:21] <fazz> Diplomat:it is probably the easiest.
[19:21] <ioria> analphabet: no ^_^
[19:22] <Diplomat> fazz: hmm naw, that's not good.. I'd like it to go out from the IP where I connected. It's such a shame that I didn't make a backup of my config
[19:23] <TJ-> Ulfalizer: yeah, that's the one. It's all documented in section 9.5 of the manual ("apt-get install gdb-doc", "info gdb")
[19:27] <Diplomat> Looks like that's the only way: https://itechnology.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/setup-squid-proxy-server-to-use-multiple-outgoing-ip-addresses/
[19:33] <jumbled> Can anyone give me a minute to talk about a systemd/upstart cross-dependency?  I need transmission to start after a mount in /etc/fstab.  Should I do that as an upstart job dependency override... or whatever the systemd way is?  I see scripts for both.
[19:34] <lovetruth> I've got 2 Network cards on the ubuntu server, which acts as internet gateway/firewall
[19:34] <ikonia> jumbled: ubuntu doesn't use systemd
[19:34] <lovetruth> I wanted to access the inside LAN https server from somewhere outside on the internet
[19:34] <lovetruth> ... but when I port forward 443 to some destination nat... something strange happens: I can't access any https when trying to from inside the LAN
[19:34] <bazhang> jumbled, why not just set that in transmission, ie schedule as that has the capability
[19:34] <ioria> opensuse does
[19:34] <lovetruth> I've been using http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Linux_Firewall#Setting_up_port_forwarding
[19:34] <lovetruth> what can I do?...
[19:35] <jumbled> ikonia: it doesn't?  I've got stuff in /etc/systemd/system.  I guess it's just service files for things in case I'd want to switch?
[19:37] <jumbled> bazhang, would I set that in transmission's upstart job? Or do you mean there's a settings.json option in Transmission I can use?
[19:38] <bazhang> jumbled, transmission itself has settings for when to start/stop, ie when nets are less bandw friendly, for instance
[19:38] <tuor> hi, I have a SD-Card, his size is 8GB. There was an ms-dos partition table on it but not finding it any more. Now I tryed to rescue data. The first step i did: (g)ddrescue (not dd_rescue). ddrescue printed this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10278279/ . It's telling me, that the SD-Card is only ~30MB. What can be the problem?
[19:39] <jumbled> bazhang, I know about the speed settings and schedules. I want it to wait until a CIFS mount is finished mounting though. I don't think it has a setting like that.
[19:46] <ralph4100> I'm having a tricky problem with wifi on a new box ... I am connected, but speed varies widely. It seems to work great immediately after I connect but then will slow and speed up over time. Using a usb wifi dongle and my laptop, on same connection, is not experiencing any of these issues
[19:47] <ralph4100> I've tried to explore updating the realtek drivers for the usb wifi connector - but no luck so far
[19:48] <ralph4100> any thoughts?
[19:48] <tuor> I no. It was not recognised. I was trying to read from the wrong device. Forget my question for now, pleas. Sorry.
[19:49] <OerHeks> ralph4100, sounds like wireless N, seen lots of issues with speed
[19:51] <Nikesh> How do I change my user password, the one that I am asked for when I use 'sudo'?
[19:51] <Nikesh> I don't want to enable root, just change my own password
[19:51] <zerowaitstate> Nikesh: passwd
[19:52] <Nikesh> zerowaitstate: :D thanks
[19:57] <tuor> hmm, no it was the right one. But when i unplug it, the "/dev/sdi"-file is still there. "block special". When I plug it in, lsblk tells me that it's 30.6MB. So still on the same question, like befor. Sorry for confusing.
[19:58] <fortuneHuntr> i'm trying to install updates and am getting two errors I cannot get passed.
[19:59] <fortuneHuntr> the first is: Errors were encountered while processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.4+dfsp-0ubuntu18.3_amd64.deb
[20:00] <Mackan90096> Hi.
[20:00] <vifino> sup.
[20:00] <Mackan90096> Where do I find recovery media?
[20:03] <vifino> Mackan90096: What problem do you have?
[20:03] <vifino> And please don't say it doesn't work.
[20:03] <Mackan90096> It doesn't find any boot media.
[20:03] <vifino> Who or what?
[20:03] <vifino> Ubuntu doesn't boot anything.
[20:04] <Mackan90096> ubuntu.
[20:04] <simosx> Mackan90096, you try to boot off a CDROM or USB?
[20:04] <Mackan90096> HDD
[20:04] <simosx> Mackan90096, is that the first booting after installation of Ubuntu?
[20:04] <Mackan90096> It is not.
[20:05]  * vifino sighs
[20:05] <simosx> Mackan90096, so, while Ubuntu was booting properly, now it does not boot when you start your computer? What message do you get on the screen?
[20:06] <TJ-> Mackan90096: If no boot media is found, that is either a hardware failure, or firmware/BIOS change that is not trying the HDD as a boot device. What specific message/action do you see?
[20:06] <Mackan90096> It booted properly, I was compiling some stuff
[20:06] <vifino> simosx: Bios telling him there is no bootable media.
[20:06] <fortuneHuntr> anyone know how to fix update error : trying to overwrite /etc/xdg/Trolltec.conf, which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:amd64
[20:07] <Mackan90096> The computer became unresponsive, I used power button to reboot as ctrl+alt+delete didn't work.
[20:08] <vifino> Mackan90096: Your disk and partition is most likely corrupted.
[20:08] <TJ-> Mackan90096: Have you started the problem PC from a Live ISO (on USB or DVD) - that will give you tools to identify the problem ?
[20:08] <Mackan90096> Now it says "No Bootable Device" under a hdd with a search icon over it
[20:09] <Mackan90096> I have not TJ-, How Do I Set Up That?
[20:09] <TJ-> Mackan90096: If you have access to another PC, and a USB flash device or DVD writer, you can download the Ubuntu Desktop Live ISO, write it to the media, and try booting the problem PC from it
[20:10] <Mackan90096> ah
[20:10] <Bashing-om> fortuneHuntr: Show in context the error from -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <-  in pastebin, for our examination .
[20:10] <Micek> OS:Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit DE:Unity Any suggestion for icons and themes?
[20:10] <Mackan90096> I'll try that TJ-
[20:11] <notdaniel> hey guys, how do i make my ubuntu server accessible to linux and mac machines on the network via its hostname? (without modifying their host files or running a dhcp server.) windows sees it fine, but not other linux/mac machines
[20:12] <notdaniel> we have a file server that is accessible via hostname.local, though adding .local to my server in question doesn't find it either
[20:12] <psayian> notdaniel: Is your dns configured correctly?
[20:13] <fortuneHuntr> pastebin.com/RRYqwc1p
[20:13] <vifino> Mackan90096: That error does not come from ubuntu. That's your bios telling you that there is no media that you can boot from. When you shut your computer down forcefully while it writes, the partition where ubuntu is installed may or may not can become corrupted.
[20:13] <Bashing-om> fortuneHuntr: Look'n at your pastebin.com/RRYqwc1p .
[20:13] <Mackan90096> vifino, Oh. okay
[20:13] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: saucy is EOL
[20:13] <notdaniel> psayian: on the server itself? havent touched dns. i was under the impression that some setting on the server will broadcast its name to the network without us having to run our own dns servers
[20:14] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: you should upgrade to 14.04
[20:14] <fortuneHuntr> that's what i'm trying to do
[20:14] <Bashing-om> fortuneHuntr: _1 to k1l :: "http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy-updates/main" .
[20:14] <notdaniel> we have a synology diskstation file server that you just plug in and other machines can reach it via its hostname.local with no configuration changes necessary on the other machines or the network
[20:15] <notdaniel> just not sure how to have this ubuntu server broadcast the same way. windows machines can access it via its hostname currently
[20:15] <Micek> OS:Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit DE:Unity Any suggestion for icons and themes?
[20:15] <psayian> notdaniel: what's the whole issue i just saw that you couldn't reach by hostname.local
[20:15] <hollazzo> ubuntu is for h@ckz0rs
[20:15] <vifino> Mackan90096: And the reason it became unresponsive is the reason you were compiling. It probably maxed out the CPU, ram and/or other resources, like your hard drive.
[20:16] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: well no. you need a ubuntu update to 14.04.
[20:16] <fortuneHuntr> Bashing-om, is the best practice to change my paths.  should the update/upgrade fix this?
[20:16] <Mackan90096> vifino, Probably the cpu
[20:16] <fortuneHuntr> k1l, how do i do that?
[20:16] <notdaniel> psayian: yeah, i just want mac/linux machines on the network to be able to reach my ubuntu server via hostname or hostname.local. right now only windows machines can
[20:16] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: no one will fix stuff on dead ubuntus
[20:16] <vifino> Mackan90096: Most likely a combination of these.
[20:16] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: "sudo do-release-upgrade"
[20:16] <fortuneHuntr> k1l, reinstall?
[20:16] <BlackMoney> Should I use XChat or HexChat
[20:16] <TJ-> notdaniel: That sounds like SMB/NetBios (AKA Windows Networking). On Linux that is handled by 'samba'. Check out for starters "/etc/samba/smb.conf" and read "man 5 smb.conf"
[20:16] <psayian> Are your windows machines joined on the domain?
[20:17] <vifino> Mackan90096: For example compiling a new kernel is CPU, RAM and Disk intensive.
[20:17] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: no need for reinstall. run the upgrade to 14.04
[20:17] <fortuneHuntr> k1l, do that before updating?
[20:17] <psayian> ona  domain?
[20:17] <Malinux> my computer is stuck @ 800Mhz. even in live-usb-session
[20:17] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: you are mixing things here.
[20:17] <Malinux> this is a thinpad t420s
[20:17] <psayian> notdaniel: Are your window machines on a domain?
[20:17] <notdaniel> they're all just on WORKGROUP
[20:17] <Bashing-om> fortuneHuntr: "best" practice is to do a clean fresh install of 14.04, one can release-upgrade from 13.04 on-line with a fair degree of certanity. But that is via EOL upgrade path .
[20:17] <notdaniel> everything is pretty much default
[20:17] <k1l> fortuneHuntr: you are mixing a regular update to a 13.10 to 14.04 upgrade. do-release-upgrade will get you to 14.04. just run that
[20:17] <Mackan90096> TJ-, Where do I find the live image download?
[20:18] <fortuneHuntr> k1l and Bashing-om , thanks! i'll give that a shot
[20:18] <k1l> Bashing-om: no need for reinstall. he uses 13.10 and can upgrade
[20:18] <TJ-> !download
[20:18] <zerowaitstate> BlackMoney: real men use irssi
[20:18] <k1l> BlackMoney: hexchat is the new xchat
[20:18] <notdaniel> TJ-: yeah, i have samba set up for a file server. mac/linux machines can access it by IP, windows machines can access it by hostname. i want the mac/linux machines to also be able to access it by hostname
[20:18] <Mackan90096> Is it the Kylin?
[20:19] <hollazzo> is hexchat better?
[20:19] <vifino> Mackan90096: Unless you live in China, no.
[20:19] <Bashing-om> killer: :) 13.10 upgrade path still in place ? without having to go the EOL upgrade route ?
[20:19] <k1l> hexchat is the new fork of xchat.
[20:19] <hollazzo> oh, great
[20:19] <albeit> VLC won't open files when double-clicking or right-click "Open with", yet launches fine via a console with "vlc ~/path/to/video.avi". How can I fix this?
[20:19] <hollazzo> my first computer :-)
[20:19] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: there's two ways; DNS and NetBT.
[20:19] <Mackan90096> okay
[20:19] <k1l> Bashing-om: yes.because the 14.04 repo is still up since its a lts
[20:20] <albeit> (Alright tried a purge and re-install of vlc)
[20:20] <TJ-> notdaniel: I think it depends on the nmb part of samba for naming using NetBios, but I stay away from that stuff. DNS or nothing :)
[20:20] <albeit> *Already
[20:20] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: btw, my opinion is that NetBT is horribly broken
[20:20] <hollazzo> ok, I go now. Have a great day.
[20:20] <psayian> notdaniel:  I was about to ask you if you have samba setup
[20:21] <notdaniel> zerowaitstate: so i'd actually need to run the whole network through a dns server, or is there some way for just the server to broadcast itself via dns?
[20:21] <psayian> notdaniel: I am pretty sure it's a DNS issue that isnt allowing it to resolve by hostname
[20:21] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: NetBIOS/NetBT is the usual Windows broadcast way. It's a very old tech though, and Microsoft is letting it rot
[20:22] <Mackan90096> ubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso ?
[20:22] <psayian> notdaniel: You said you can access it by IP so its DNS or as TJ-  nmbd that you need to setup.
[20:22] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: Mac uses mDNS if i recall
[20:22] <Mackan90096> vifino ?
[20:22] <k1l> Mackan90096: why 32bit?
[20:22] <psayian> notdaniel: what you can do is you can edit /etc/hosts and add the ip and the hostname of the machine and it will resolve
[20:22] <Mackan90096> Well
[20:22] <Mackan90096> I need the 64-bit, but it's an intel..
[20:22] <vifino> Mackan90096: What version of ubuntu did you install?
[20:22] <notdaniel> psayian: yeah, we just have like 14 machines, heh. probably eventually should just grow up and run our own dns
[20:22] <psayian> notdaniel: this will give you the ability of resolving the machines IP that you are trying to connect without DNS
[20:22] <Mackan90096> 14.04.
[20:23] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: when you say "whole network" how big are we talking?
[20:23] <k1l> Mackan90096: the patent is from amd so its called amd64
[20:23] <k1l> Mackan90096: intel uses the same
[20:23] <streulma> for all day use I use this Macbook Air 2014, is there an option to switch over to Ubuntu? But then the Macbook will be hot I find...
[20:23] <Mackan90096> Ah. okay k1l
[20:23] <TJ-> notdaniel: Maybe you can configure 'avahi'
[20:23] <notdaniel> zerowaitstate: 30 devices at any given time including phones, etc. ideally wouldn't have to edit hosts.conf on all of them or run our own dns
[20:24] <psayian> notdaniel: If you don't want to setup DNS or nmbd just add the fileserver ip and host name in /etc/hosts it will be able to resolve then.
[20:24] <k1l> Mackan90096: the only reason there are still 32bit isos are that there is old and slow hardware (like first atoms) that are only 32bit. most distros want to scratch 32bit for mainstream desktop usage.
[20:24] <Micek> OS:Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit DE:Unity Any suggestion for icons and themes?
[20:24] <streulma> Micek: Numix
[20:24] <notdaniel> zerowaitstate: i was just confused because we have a purchased file server that we just plugged into the network and all machines, mac/linux/windows, can access it by its hostname without modifying our network or the other machines. so it's possible somehow
[20:25] <vifino> Micek: Please don't repeat yourself, if someone knows the answer, the'll respond.
[20:25] <k1l> Micek: its your choice. see imgur or reddit or other desktop posting sites to get a clue what you would like
[20:25] <vifino> *they'll
[20:25] <notdaniel> TJ-: yeah i saw that, but havent found any info on it from the last couple years, so i figured it was out of date or something else has taken over. but i'll check it out
[20:25] <AegNuddel> Is there an icon that tells me if my laptop is charging or not?
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: they are running multiple discovery protocols, is why
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: Bonjour is typically used by Apple devices instead of NetBIOS
[20:26] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: or Avahi
[20:27] <notdaniel> zerowaitstate: yeah i figured i'd try bonjour/afp for the mac but what would other linux machines use to look it up by name?
[20:27] <notdaniel> avahi?
[20:27] <AegNuddel> Where are my brightness settings?
[20:28] <caonicaldroid> how can I find out the directory of heimdall on ubuntu 14.04?
[20:29] <caonicaldroid> I downloaded it from software center I just don't know where it is
[20:29] <psayian> AegNuddel: System-config -> display i think
[20:29] <zerowaitstate> notdaniel: yeah, that's the linux version of it i think
[20:29] <psayian> or if you are using unity click display.
[20:33] <AegNuddel> can't seem to find that
[20:33] <Bashing-om> caonicaldroid: Maybe something like -> sudo find / -name heimdall-flash <- . Will take a bit to search the file system, patience .
[20:35] <Jordan_U> caonicaldroid: dpkg -L heimdall-flash
[20:37] <sieger> KILL ALL THE FUCKING NIGGERS AND JEWS
[20:38] <sieger> SIEG HEIL HEIL HITLEr
[20:38] <AegNuddel> o.o
[20:38] <AegNuddel> ops?
[20:43] <Guest29757> hiii
[20:44] <ubuntu999> hi!
[20:46] <caonicaldroid> ok so i found out where heimdall is (usr/bin) but i need to copy a .rar file to the same directory that heimdall is in but its not letting me what do i do
[20:46] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: no i dont think you need to do that
[20:46] <ikonia> you should not have a rar file in /usr/bin
[20:46] <ikonia> caonicaldroid: what is your end goal/problem
[20:46] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: i think you wildly mix howtos there.
[20:47] <caonicaldroid> Im trying to fix my phone that wont boot
[20:47] <caonicaldroid> or better yet where is the terminal located?
[20:47] <ikonia> on the launcher
[20:48] <ikonia> are you running ubuntu on a desktop connected to your phone - or on your actual phone ?
[20:48] <caonicaldroid> I need the directory that terminal is located because the .rar has to be in the same directory for this to work
[20:48] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: why you need to load a rar into there?
[20:48] <ikonia> are you running ubuntu on a desktop connected to your phone - or on your actual phone ?
[20:49] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: no, you can give fullpaths on linux. so it doesnt matter where the rar is
[20:49] <ubuntu999> I'm quite adept with Android if you'd tell us what you're trying to do we could help
[20:50] <k1l_> seems like heimdall even got a frontend
[20:51] <caonicaldroid> im trying to flash cwm to it
[20:51] <ikonia> are you running ubuntu on a desktop connected to your phone - or on your actual phone ?
[20:51] <DammitJim> I don't know if this is a vmware thing or an ubuntu thing, but how do I see full screen on a Ubuntu VM in VMWare?
[20:51] <DammitJim> Ubuntu Desktop here
[20:52] <ikonia> caonicaldroid: are you running ubuntu on a desktop connected to your phone - or on your actual phone ?
[20:52] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: so what is your issue with heimdall flash --some_parameters /path/to/recovery.img   ?
[20:52] <caonicaldroid> on a laptop connected to my phone
[20:52] <caonicaldroid> It said flash was successful but it got bricked and will only boot to download mode now
[20:52] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: no need to put anything into folders where you are gonna ruin your system
[20:52] <col7> Can I get some support for ClamTK?
[20:53] <caonicaldroid> what do i do then
[20:53] <caonicaldroid> Is there any way i can restore the phone with terminal from my pc
[20:54] <ikonia> caonicaldroid: if the flash worked - take it to a phone shop
[20:54] <ikonia> caonicaldroid: other than flash the phone with the correct OS image, what more can you do
[20:54] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: we dont know what you did. you can ask the android phone community like xda-developers what is on with your phone
[20:54] <ubuntu999> @canonicaldroid can you boot it into fastboot mode?
[20:54] <ubuntu999> you know you can flash bootloader from there
[20:54] <caonicaldroid> Whats fastboot mode
[20:54] <ubuntu999> what phone do you have?
[20:54] <caonicaldroid> samsung galaxy proclaim (SCH-S720C)
[20:55] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: sorry to say but you seem to know that less about android phone roms, that you better ask the xda guys for guideance
[20:56] <caonicaldroid> ive never needed to use fastboot is why i dont know about it im actually a dev of android roms
[20:56] <caonicaldroid> ive never used this particular device either
[20:56] <ubuntu999> Umm
[20:57] <ubuntu999> Fastboot is what you flash with when you can't use ADB
[20:57] <caonicaldroid> adb wont work because it cant detect the device
[20:57] <caonicaldroid> so how do i use fastboot
[20:57] <k1l_> that is android rom basics 101
[20:57] <ubuntu999> You did try booting to recovery right?
[20:57] <ubuntu999> Yeah pretty much :P
[20:58] <ikonia> maybe take this to the #android channel
[20:58] <ikonia> it's not really an ubuntu issue
[20:58] <caonicaldroid> lol thats what bricked my phone bruh
[20:59] <k1l_> caonicaldroid: i think you got a android-issue and not a ubuntu-issue here.
[20:59] <ubuntu999> Not flashing, just booting to stock recovery
[20:59] <ubuntu999> There's always a stock one
[20:59] <schrodingus> Does anyone know how to do an https -S (listing virtual hosts) on Ubuntu?
[20:59] <caonicaldroid> ubuntu go to #android with me please
[20:59] <schrodingus> apache2 -S doesn't seem to give me what I want
[21:00] <ikonia> schrodingus: apache2 is just the httpd binary renamed
[21:01] <schrodingus> OK, but -S doesn't seem to work, it gives me all kinds of errors
[21:01] <schrodingus> oh hmm
[21:01] <moondoggy> Does anyone know if the v412_common module is available for download somewhere?
[21:01] <ikonia> schrodingus: need to provide details if you want help
[21:01] <schrodingus> APACHE_RUN_GROUP, APACHE_LOG_DIR, APACHE_RUN_DIR, APACHE_LOCK_DIR all seem to not be defined
[21:01] <schrodingus> Those are the errors I'm getting
[21:01] <schrodingus> sec
[21:02] <schrodingus> working on pastebin
[21:02] <eikon81g> I had a quick question about my machine's hardware in the system profiler..: A quick question if you don't mind.. I am running the t7200 @2.0ghz and in the system profiler it shows my processor with 2 entries (being both cores) at 1000.00mhz so the processor's cores each run at 1ghz to make the 2.0ghz?
[21:03] <eikon81g> Or are both cores supposed to be running @ 2.0ghz?
[21:03] <daftykins> eikon81g: no, likely those are intel speedstep speeds, the processor clocks itself down to save power
[21:03] <schrodingus> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/4dhpctfD
[21:03] <eikon81g> ok so would you recommend disabling speedstep in bios?
[21:03] <daftykins> eikon81g: run this in a terminal: watch -n 0.1 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i mhz'
[21:03] <eikon81g> Dafty thanks a million..
[21:03] <daftykins> eikon81g: no, this is how it's designed, i wouldn't touch it :) you should see the speeds change if you run my above command
[21:03] <ikonia> schrodingus: why are you using sudo
[21:03] <eikon81g> Ok I was just thanking you for your help I am still with ya
[21:04] <eikon81g> ok thanks 1 sec
[21:04] <schrodingus> Thought I had to to run the -S command
[21:04] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: there's no point in running 2.0 GHz if the processor is idle 95% of the time
[21:05] <eikon81g> Ok I ran the command and I don't see any changes
[21:05] <NGC3982> When did modern processors start using the down-clock?
[21:05] <daftykins> eikon81g: you need to induce some load on the system
[21:05] <eikon81g> the terminal displays cpu: MHz : 1000.00
[21:05] <daftykins> eikon81g: one line or two?
[21:05] <eikon81g> 2
[21:06] <eikon81g> I understand now
[21:06] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: compiling a big program will put the processor under load
[21:06] <eikon81g> So that command will give realtime load on the cpu cores?
[21:06] <ikonia> schrodingus: it's complaining of an error in the config
[21:06] <ikonia> schrodingus: fix that first
[21:07] <schrodingus> I haven't touched that config, that's how it was installed from the package
[21:07] <ikonia> schrodingus: looking at that error wold be a stating point
[21:07] <schrodingus> I was about to reinstall the package
[21:07] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: no, that just shows clock frequency. load average is a better indicator of system load
[21:07] <daftykins> eikon81g: it shows the clock speed if and when it changes :)
[21:07] <schrodingus> ikonia: It looks like those constants are not being set somewhere, but I have no idea where they would be set
[21:08] <yvear> hello, I'm accessing a remote server with 14.04 installed and 2 x 2 TB SATA drives with a soft raid . it looks like I have access to only 2 tb. is there a way to make it one big 4 tb hdd? here http://paste.ubuntu.com/10279335/
[21:08] <ikonia> schrodingus: looking at that error wold be a stating point
[21:08] <schrodingus> I have :P
[21:08] <ikonia> and what does that error represent/what is causing it
[21:08] <eikon81g> ok thanks to you both. I was just unsure if I was getting my machine's full potential and I was wondering if I should continue to leave speedstep enabled
[21:08] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: top, htop, and uptime all show load average
[21:09] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: nah, the proc is pretty good at keeping it at the right freq
[21:09] <schrodingus> It says it can't find the mutex file, it's an invalid directory.. which also tells me that APACHE_LOCK_DIR is not being defined somewhere
[21:09] <ikonia> schrodingus: no
[21:09] <ikonia> schrodingus: it's complaining about an error in the config file
[21:09] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: leave it enabled
[21:09] <compdoc> yvear, is raid set up as a mirror?
[21:09] <detorr> having trouble with cinnamon on ubuntu 14.10
[21:10] <eikon81g> thank you both very much
[21:10] <eikon81g> I am still learning, I have a long way to go I'm afraid. LOL
[21:10] <zerowaitstate> eikon81g: no problem. linux is an evolving thing; we are all canaries in the coal mine
[21:10] <schrodingus> Yes, but if you read the error, it says "Invalid Mutex directory in argument file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR}"
[21:11] <eikon81g> I like the analogy very fitting
[21:11] <ikonia> schrodingus: forget taht - read the config file error
[21:11] <yvear> compdoc, I don't know I'm renting it
[21:11] <schrodingus> Which means that APACHE_LOCK_DIR doesn't point to a valid file, or is not defined
[21:11] <ikonia> schrodingus: forget that deal with the config file error
[21:11] <schrodingus> Mutex file:${APACHE_LOCK_DIR} default
[21:11] <schrodingus> That's the line
[21:11] <ikonia> schrodingus: so thats probably set in the init script
[21:12] <schrodingus> I have no idea where those are on ubuntu
[21:12] <ikonia> /etc/init.d
[21:13] <schrodingus> Nothing matching APACHE_LOCK_DIR in /etc/init.d/apache2
[21:13] <ikonia> walk the script through
[21:13] <ikonia> find out what it includes
[21:13] <ikonia> or look at the apache user, see what it's environment sets
[21:16] <scottz> have installation problem. I have done a fresh install 14.04lts to an unformatted, unpartioned harddrive. Install went great but upon a reboot i get "ERROR: Noboot disk has been detected or the disk has failed"

[21:16] <Slappy> Ok
[21:16] <Slappy> So
[21:17] <jake9444> MY UBUNTU IS BROKEN
[21:17] <compdoc> scottz, did you boot from a usb stick to install? how many hard drives are in the system>?
[21:17] <jake9444> CAN SOMEONE HELP?
[21:17] <ikonia> jake9444: don't talk in caps
[21:17] <jake9444> updated this morning killed it
[21:17] <ikonia> jake9444: just explain what you need with
[21:17] <jake9444> sorry, caps lock was stuck on @ ikonia
[21:18] <jake9444> k. my bar icons on top right are gone
[21:18] <jake9444> and reboot goes straight in without login prompt
[21:18] <schrodingus> Looks like it should be defined in /etc/apache2/envvars
[21:18] <jake9444> then goes black
[21:18] <travnewmatic> seeking maas node enlistment help
[21:18] <scottz> compdoc: I booted from a DVD that I created from an image. 1 hard drive /dev/sda
[21:18] <jake9444> then loads login screen after 3-4 mins
[21:18] <schrodingus> vim envvars
[21:18] <schrodingus> ack
[21:18] <jake9444> anyone know what could cause this?
[21:19] <compdoc> scottz, thats the best way to go. the image was downloaded from ubuntu's mirrors?
[21:19] <schrodingus> So this means that the apache2 package is broken
[21:19] <zerowaitstate> jake9444: CTRL-ALT-F1, log in under you normal user, then check available hard drive space with df -h.  Just curious
[21:19] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | scottz
[21:19] <jake9444> oh, and mouse is missing, only touchscreen works
[21:19] <yvear> compdoc, yes it's mirrored
[21:20] <jake9444> @ zerowaitstate i have 11% use.
[21:20] <scottz> compdoc: yes it was. any ideas how to get it to boot after install?
[21:20] <compdoc> yvear, then 2G is all you can hope for
[21:20] <zerowaitstate> what does your /var/log/syslog say?
[21:20] <scottz> how can i run the script if I cant get the machine to boot?
[21:20] <jake9444> /dev/sda3 (/) is 764G avail, /dev/sda2 is 8.5gb avail (/boot)
[21:21] <Jordan_U> scottz: Boot from the Ubuntu LiveUSB in "Try" mode.
[21:21] <compdoc> scottz, I install the Server version, and it always asks near the end of the install if its ok to write the boot/grub to the drive. Dont know why it would fail to do so
[21:22] <compdoc> scottz, is it dual boot?

[21:22] <cbk486> haha
[21:23] <schrodingus> It's like whatever is supposed to call envvars as a conf file isn't doing so
[21:23] <compdoc> scottz, is the bios set for legacy ot uefi boot?
[21:23] <compdoc> legacy or uefi storage
[21:24] <scottz> compdoc: legacy is greyed out
[21:24] <scottz> booting now from dvd
[21:24] <compdoc> scottz, I always use legacy. There might be steps you have to take to go uefi
[21:25] <yvear> compdoc, from the custom install form on my provider's manager there is a checkbox "Do you want to install it solely on one disk? *By installing your system solely on 1 disk, you will lose all your data in the event of hard disk problems."
[21:25] <compdoc> scottz, in the bios boot area, the drive appears as an option to boot from?
[21:25] <yvear> compdoc, would that do it?
[21:25] <compdoc> yvear, drive mirrors tend to be a good idea
[21:26] <compdoc> maybe
[21:27] <ubuntu999> guys does anyone here know anything about configuring email access? vimbadmin and such

[21:30] <Siente> zerowaitstate, and then chown www-data -R /var/www/html or ?

[21:34] <schrodingus> ikonia: You should have read my pastebin more carefully
[21:34] <schrodingus> The problem was that I was using the binary directly instead of apachectl
[21:35] <schrodingus> Which you would have seen, had you read the pastebin
[21:35] <compdoc> scottz, I think that vfat partition has to do with uefi

[21:40] <xbustershin> http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ primary
[21:40] <Bashing-om> xbustershin: Win8 = UEFI = GPT partitioning, GPT does not have extended/logical partitions.
[21:41] <xbustershin> thanks
[21:42] <scottz> same problem with legacy mode
[21:42] <Bray90820> What's a good backup system that copies just the files over I tried daja-dupe but it uses a proprietary format
[21:44] <Jordan_U> scottz: Don't try to use legacy mode. It's interesting that Ubuntu is one of the boot options, but it's the last that the firmware is configured to try. Still, with no other OSs it should work.
[21:44] <Jordan_U> scottz: Are you booted into the Ubuntu LiveDVD currently?
[21:44] <scottz> Jordan_U: booting as we speek
[21:45] <Jordan_U> scottz: Make sure you're booting in UEFI mode rather than legacy, or we won't be able to use efibootmgr.
[21:45] <Pinkamena_D> sometimes I have to stop a process with fuser -k or simply list with something like sudo fuser 80/tcp . Recently this has been freezing the terminal for many minutes. How can I find out why?
[21:46] <scottz> Jordan_U: well I am booted but do not remember which way what would you like me to try and we will see.
[21:50] <Jordan_U> scottz: Run "sudo efibootmgr" and pastebin the output again.
[21:50] <Jordan_U> scottz: ... though you'll probably need to run "sudo apt-get install efibootmgr" first :)
[21:52] <scottz> Jordan_U: pastebin.ubuntu.com/10279977
[21:54] <Jordan_U> scottz: Great, you're booted via UEFI. Please run "sudo efibootmgr --bootorder 0000,0002,0001,0008,0009,0005,0006,000A" to make Ubuntu first in the boot order.
[21:57] <scottz> Jordan_U: OK done, reboot?
[21:57] <nymqr> Does anyone here know the name of the graphical frontend Ubuntu uses for NetworkManager?
[21:57] <Jordan_U> scottz: Please pastebin the output of "sudo efibootmgr" one more time first.
[21:58] <svip> How does the recovery feature work?
[21:58] <svip> I try to enable networking, but it appears to be stalling.
[21:58] <svip> After it has mounted network filesystems.
[21:58] <Gegenrung> nm-applet nymqr
[21:58] <Jordan_U> nymqr: nm-applet is the applet, nm-connection-editor is for configuring network manager.

[22:02] <Siente> how to install php on ubuntu? using the apache2?
[22:03] <Siente> sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 ?
[22:04] <annabel_> Siente: i strongly recommend using nginx
[22:05] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, rsync
[22:05] <Bray90820> Thanks I'll have a look at that
[22:05] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, straight file copy. no zip, tar, rar, etc. works great
[22:05] <scottz> Jordan_U: pastebin.ubuntu.com/10280028
[22:06] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: can it work incrementally
[22:06] <len_> I'm running nginx on 14.04.  Everything is working, except the nginx does not seem to be using gzip when the client is sets it's header to accept gzip.    nginx conf file has  "gzip on" set.  Is there something more I need to do?  gzip module is included by default, right?
[22:06] <Jordan_U> scottz: Looks good. Try rebooting.
[22:07] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, no, it compares file to file. only sends what's different
[22:07] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, or new
[22:07] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, look into grsync
[22:07] <svip> I am having a strange issue with Xubuntu 12.04 on my old laptop.
[22:08] <svip> After it has loaded, it stalls with strange graphical errors.
[22:08] <svip> With strange blue dots around the Xubuntu logo.
[22:08] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: what I actually wanted was every day it would copy the newer file to my backup folder and remove the old one
[22:08] <svip> It then heats up the CPU until it finally cuts out.
[22:08] <Jordan_U> svip: Has it been doing this since you installed or is this a new problem?
[22:09] <ubuntu999> Remember the "Android Dev" anyone? Who couldnt flash a rom?
[22:09] <svip> Jordan_U: New problem.
[22:09] <svip> It has been working fine for a year.
[22:09] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, it does that. i use it every day to back up /home to 2 usb drives
[22:09] <ubuntu999> Anyone maybe?
[22:10] <Jordan_U> svip: Did anything change recently that you can think of?
[22:10] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: would I have to remove every file and recopy or would it keep the files if there the same
[22:10] <svip> Jordan_U: Not that I can think up, besides installing the software updates.
[22:11] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, it can delete on destination what's not in the source. if you want
[22:11] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: Oh also if the fie is not in the destination file it want it to be removed
[22:11] <svip> Jordan_U: I did notice that on the last time it ran fine, there was a graphical hiccup at one point, but since it returned normal almost immediately, I ignored it.
[22:11] <ubuntu999> Well anyhow the guy that claimed to be a software developer did a rm -r * on his root. GG
[22:11] <ubuntu999> WP
[22:11] <svip> Jordan_U: I just thought the graphics cable was loose again.
[22:11] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: I wanted it to keep the fies if there the same insted of recopying it
[22:11] <ObrienDave> yes
[22:11] <Bray90820> I'll just try it out
[22:11] <svip> Jordan_U: But that wouldn't explain this behaviour I think.
[22:12] <svip> Apparently, it runs a non-PEA CPU, so I don't think I can install 14.04 on it.
[22:12] <ObrienDave> Bray90820, rsync will only copy if changed or newer or new
[22:12] <Bray90820> ObrienDave: Thanks
[22:12] <ObrienDave> grsync
[22:13] <Jordan_U> svip: How did you determine that it runs a non-pae CPU?
[22:13] <ubuntu999> No one is gonna laugh with me?

[22:14] <svip> Jordan_U: Well, the kernel it boots is appended generic-pea
[22:14] <ObrienDave> !ot | ubuntu999
[22:14] <gurric> hello everyone, there is a wifi network I want my pc never to connect, how can I do that?
[22:14] <Jordan_U> svip: That implies that it *must* have PAE support, since you're explicitly using a PAE kernel.
[22:14] <ubuntu999> Aight aight
[22:15] <svip> Odd.
[22:15] <svip> So maybe it NEEDS Pea to operate?
[22:15] <Jordan_U> svip: Think of "generic-pae" as  "generic dash pae" rather than "generic minus pae".
[22:16] <svip> Is that what forcepea is for?
[22:16] <svip> Is it safe to install 14.04 on it then?
[22:16] <Jordan_U> svip: No, not that either :) PAE is just nice to have if you have more than 4 GiB of RAM on a 32 bit processor.
[22:16] <Siente> Hello guys, I have the following error in my phpmyadmin  The mcrypt extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. how to fix it?
[22:17] <annabel_> What is PAE ?
[22:17] <Jordan_U> svip: If you can boot the installer (which I expect you can) then installing is perfectly safe, at least as far as CPU features are concerned.
[22:17] <svip> Jordan_U: I will do that tomorrow.
[22:17] <svip> Fortunately, my /home is on a separate partition.
[22:17] <xavi_> hello
[22:25] <Jordan_U> scottz: Have you tried rebooting yet? If so, what happened?
[22:26] <yvear> compdoc, are you there?
[22:28] <Exagone313> hello, I installed psad to block port scans, but it does not work. I tried nmap -sT <host> and it shows the opened ports. what can I do to enable it? thanks for your help.
[22:28] <Exagone313> also, iptables block all ports except these opened ports
[22:29] <Exagone313> i don't know how psad work

[22:35] <Emanuel_> I'm having a problem printing to a printer on a Ubuntu system over the network. I have 2 laptops one can print one can't. They both run Windows and I'm not getting any error messages
[22:36] <jayesh92_> Running
[22:36] <jayesh92_> 14.04
[22:37] <Jordan_U> Emanuel_: Do both Windows laptops have the same version of the printer driver installed?
[22:37] <Emanuel_> Jordan_U I believe they do.
[22:37] <Emanuel_> Jordan_U: I think you helped me with the laptop power issue
[22:38] <Jordan_U> Emanuel_: Indeed. How has the pm script been working for you?
[22:39] <Paddy_NI> Would anyone know why I would be receiving a load of GPG Errors when performing "apt-get update" today?
[22:39] <Emanuel_> Jordan_U: It's working great. Right now I pulled the USB cable and am trying to connect it direcly to the laptop that won't print
[22:41] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, broken lists ?
[22:42] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, All of a sudden?
[22:43] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, I tried using y-ppa-manager to fix missing gpg keys (no idea why they would be missing today) however that has failed
[22:43] <Paddy_NI> this nonsense really grinds my gears
[22:45] <jkli> hi guys
[22:45] <ObrienDave> Paddy_NI, could be a mirror error, try a different mirror
[22:45] <Paddy_NI> ObrienDave, Good point
[22:45] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, seen that before, maybe 1 bit tumbled, remove the broken lists, gpg keys are oke, and reload. >> sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:45] <jkli> im trying to make a ubuntu script work on centos, what do you guys get when you do: echo $XAUTHORITY ?
[22:45] <jkli> i get an empty string
[22:45] <OerHeks> * if an other mirror gives the sameoutpu
[22:45] <OerHeks> t
[22:46] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, Thanks :-)
[22:46] <jkli> I just want to know what this variable contains, so that i can replicate it on centos
[22:46] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure
[22:48] <Bashing-om> jkli:  echo $XAUTHORITY >> /home/sysop/.Xauthority .
[22:49] <jkli> so it simply links to the .Xauth file
[22:50] <jkli> i got one for one user, but the other user has no xauth file, how are those initiated / created?
[22:53] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, I did both and still gpg errors
[22:53] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, As much as I love Ubuntu.. I really hate it sometimes..
[22:54] <Paddy_NI> It's sort of like a cat
[22:54] <ObrienDave> O.o
[22:54] <ObrienDave> o.O
[22:54] <Paddy_NI> I love cats.. but they are assholes
[22:54] <HowdyHowdy> hi, i have a bit of a disaster on my hands... im doing ll in a certain folder, and by whatever magical voodoo, Ubuntu decided to turn every single one of my files into an executable
[22:54] <HowdyHowdy> recursively
[22:54] <Emanuel_> Jordan_U: sorry about this but my gf needs her computer now
[22:54] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, odd, can you paste the output of update?
[22:54] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, Sure thing
[22:54] <HowdyHowdy> i can't just blanket undo thsi since some files have to be executables
[22:54] <HowdyHowdy> i have NO idea how this happened
[22:54] <jkli> Bashing-om, what do you get when you "echo XAUTHORITY" ?
[22:55] <stormpython> question, I have started up an ubuntu server and looking to connect it using the wireless card and can't get it to connect to the router
[22:55] <ObrienDave> jkli, /home/david/.Xauthority
[22:55] <stormpython> would anyone know of how to do this or have a resource they can point me to
[22:56] <ObrienDave> try #ubuntu-server
[22:56] <jkli> so $XAUTHORITY and XAUTHORITY link to the same ressource i guess?
[22:56] <OerHeks> HowdyHowdy, did you perform "chmod +x -R /" or "chmod +x -R *" ??
[22:56] <stormpython> I've tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/270901/ubuntu-server-12-04-2-wireless-connections
[22:56] <HowdyHowdy> DerHeks: no, never could I do that
[22:56] <Jordan_U> jkli: This is no longer an Ubuntu support question. Please move discussion to more appropriate channels like ##linux.
[22:56] <HowdyHowdy> i haven't changed any permissions anywhere at any time
[22:57] <giuseppe_82> hi everybody. I'm running lubuntu 14.10. By default I have lxsession as session manager (working as a desktop environment), openbox as window manager (the only one used and installed) and lightdm as display manager. I have a veryyy old Pc desktop, what would you suggest to have best performance? Thanks in advance.
[22:57] <HowdyHowdy> never could or would i do that
[22:57] <jkli> Jordan_U it is, because this is ubuntu specific
[22:57] <Bashing-om> jkli: Just an 'echo' of " XAUTHORITY " as direrected to bash . Bash doing as told .
[22:57] <OerHeks> HowdyHowdy, strange mistery.
[22:57] <OerHeks> Backup your data and reinstall i guess
[22:57] <k1l_> HowdyHowdy: ubuntu doesnt do this to fool you. so either you ran a comand that did that or there is something  like hardware failure
[22:58] <HowdyHowdy> im looking at my bash history... no chmod command has been ran in ages
[22:58] <IcemanV9> jkli: echo XAUTHORITY >> XAUTHORITY
[22:58] <jkli> kk lol
[22:58] <HowdyHowdy> im running a VM of ubuntu, so if tere was a hard drive failure, woudln't the host system go as well?
[22:58] <jkli> my head was wrapped up
[22:58] <IcemanV9> it does nothing except echo the word
[22:58] <jkli> yeah, so i get the script now
[22:59] <jkli> those guys at ##linux couldnt figure it out
[22:59] <Jordan_U> jkli: No, it is not an Ubuntu specific question at all.
[22:59] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, here you go http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CsRjAWav
[23:01] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, changing mirror gives the same output?
[23:01] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, Exactly
[23:01] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, I tried two different UK mirrors and one Irish
[23:01] <Paddy_NI> Reverted back to the UK for speed
[23:02] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, I think I might leave it until tomorrow to solve
[23:03] <Paddy_NI> OerHeks, It's getting a little late here, thank you for your help :-)
[23:04] <OerHeks> Paddy_NI, oke, don't worry, see you tomorrow maybe.
[23:04] <Paddy_NI>  Cool :-)
[23:11] <xcyclist_> Say, I am coming here from the postgresql room with this question:  I am not getting phppgadmin to work correctly on a basic apt-get install on 14.04.1.  Anybody have a listed fix for this?
[23:11] <xcyclist_> curl http://localhost/phppgadmin yields a 404 page.
[23:13] <craigbass76> I ran dd if=sda of=somefile.  I can now fdisk somefile, but not sure how to mount one of the partitions in it.
[23:18] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: Try: -> sudo mkdir /mnt/look , sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/look <- where 'X' is (a,b,c ect as in sda ) and 'Y' is the partition number (as in sdc3) .
[23:20] <LiberalDouche> sup dicks
[23:21] <LiberalDouche> wtf dude
[23:21] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, the file is called scsi-backup.  So when I fdisk scsi-back and hit p to see what's there for partitions, I see scsi-backup1   *        2048  1129267199   564632576   83  Linux.  This is the partition I want to mount.  But mount -t ext4 scsi-backup1 gives me a "special device scsi-backup1 does not exist"
[23:22] <LiberalDouche> don't make me h@x0r you with my l33t sk1llz
[23:22] <k1l_> LiberalDouche: go and troll somewhere else
[23:22] <LiberalDouche> why?
[23:23] <userme> hello. on linux can u configure netgear routers just like windows
[23:23] <craigbass76> userme, if there's a regular web interface that doesn't require Internet Explorer, you should be all set
[23:23] <k1l_> userme: dont they do this with a webgui?
[23:24] <LiberalDouche> i have 6 TB of furry porn on my Windows ME machine. How do I move it to my new linux box?
[23:24] <userme> what u lost me mate
[23:25] <userme> if i downloaded a new firmware could i update i with linux
[23:25] <k1l_> userme: does the router have a webgui? then it doesnt matter what OS your run on your pc
[23:25] <userme> yeah a ip page of router
[23:27] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: To mount a 'partition' (file system) you have to have a point to attach that "file system"; partitions have names as in sdc5 - where sdc is that 3rd hard drive, and '5' 1s the 5th partition. In order to access a file, one has to first mount the file system .
[23:28] <userme> it downloads a img file for firmware off the site but need un zipping first
[23:28] <grisha> hello! help me please install itunes on ubuntu 14.04, tried several itunes exe files through play on linux no luck
[23:28] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, I've got sdb mounted up right now, and it contains the file that got created with the dd command.  What I'm trying to do now is get that file readable enough to pull some data off.
[23:29] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, I believe I have to mount that file somehow.
[23:29] <OerHeks> grisha, check the wineHQ database, i guess it is not going to work, iirc
[23:29] <OerHeks> !wine
[23:29] <grisha> thanks
[23:31] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: One does not mount a file (there are menas to mount an .iso file), one mounts the partition that contains the file, Then one can access the file on that partition. -> sudo fdisk -lu <- does it show the partition that you dd'd ?
[23:32] <craigbass76> No.  It shows sdb1, which is the partition that contains the file I dd-ed to.
[23:32] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, ^^
[23:34] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: -> sudo mkdir /mnt/look , sudo mount /dev/sdb1 . ls -al /mnt/look <- ; do you see your file, and/or the directory that contains the target file ?
[23:35] <craigbass76> mount shows --> /dev/sdb1 on /home/me/borked type ext4 (rw) -- I mounted up sbd1 in a "borked" directory.
[23:36] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, ^^ Inside that I see a file called scsi-backup; this is where dd wrote to, so this is a 550G file of a whole (all three partitions) disk.
[23:38] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: What now returns -> ls -al /mnt/look/scsi-backup <- ?
[23:40] <Gnut> exit
[23:40] <craigbass76> Bashing-om, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 586774740992 Feb 16 22:41 scsi-backup
[23:44] <Bashing-om> craigbass76: Well ! It is a file. I did expect 'dd' to re-create the original file structure. In this case I just do not know .
