EdwardLHello. Having troubles with my Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop. On a reboot I by mistake logged in as a guest, which brought me to the, I'm guessing, Unity session. I usually log in with Gnome Flashback (Compiz). When the Unity tried to load all the graphics were garbled and it logged out on its own. When I logged back into my Compiz everything ended up being extra slow. Tried several reboots and a full fsck, but each time I log in, it slows to a halt.00:00
Emanuel_Jordan_U: I am back now. If you have time to try to help me00:16

liszanteFrom what I've found online, a lot of people are struggling with wifi.01:33
Bobby_Budnickrelated to my first question:  are live cds supposed to have a grub configfile or is that information somehow embedded into the bootx64.efi file?01:34
PrezidentAha, i dont know gui at all, but userme if you opening a terminal, what ifconfig gives for a reply when the ethernet cable is plugged in?01:34
usermewell woudnt believe it just plugged it in worked01:34
Coldfusionstormlalright01:35
Prezidentliszante: yes, if you got broadcom card, mostly it helps with blacklist the bcma b43 and ssb module and modprobe wl01:35

usermeive just seen need a mac for wifi or ethernet01:35

liszanteI don't think I have a broadcom card? I did a ctrl+f search through the pastebin output I linked (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10281200/) and didn't see it.01:36

liszanteChanging the wifi channel involves going into the router or something, right? I don't have access to that. I share with a roommate whose connection is fine.01:43

yvearI have 2 ubuntu servers that I access frequently through ssh/sftp to my local machine. now how do I transfer files between each other directly?01:50
Coldfusionstormwell, Prezident thanks for the help01:51
Coldfusionstormil call it for tonight01:51
Coldfusionstormthis is very annoying tho01:51
Prezidentyvear: with scp.01:51
Prezidenton port 22 you can simply do scp file user@ip:/path/on/target01:52
Prezidenton diff port and dir scp -P ** -r folder user@ip:/path/on/target01:52
PrezidentYou has to use uppercase P for scp and lowercase p for ssh01:53
PrezidentIf you wanna do it even simpliier you can make a simple bashscript if you gonna move files between them often, like scp $1 user@ip:/$thedir yvear01:55
yvearPrezident, can you please give a sample command with the 2nd server having ssh set up with a port other than 22?01:57
PrezidentIs it a folder or file yvear ?01:57
Prezident'scp -P 2122 -r foldername yver@99.22.33.11:/home/yver' will send a file from the computer you typing the command to 99,22,33.11 in /home/yver01:59
PrezidentIf you frequently moving files between them i would recomend sshfs instead, then you mounting the dir on your target computer so you can drag and drop how much you want.02:00
PrezidentAnd you can make a simply script for it with alias and you can have your servers folder on yuor own desktop. Linux handle this awesome, much better then anything else.02:01
yvearPrezident, I'm already ssh'ed in server A.  I want to copy folder /home/tgf/ren from server B to folder /home/user6 on current server A and server B has ssh set up on 3713402:01
yvearoh I think I see02:01
PrezidentThen you has type the command on server B, type 'scp -P 37134 -r /home/tgf/ren yver@Server_A_IP:/home/user6' done.02:03
PrezidentI think i understood you right now02:03
Prezidentmight add sudo infront of scp if you aint logged in as root02:03
bodhi_zazensudo will not help with scp02:04
yvearPrezident, so scp can only send files, can't copy from?02:04
bodhi_zazenyvear, take a look at sftp, sshfs, and/or rsync (over ssh)02:04
ki7mtYour better off using rsync rather than scp for that operation anyway02:04
PrezidentI thought you wanted send 'ren' folder to user6 dir?02:05

somsipbodhi_zazen: except where different ports are used. Which seems to be the issue here02:06
somsipyvear: yes, but omit if you used passwords02:07
bodhi_zazenport is an option02:07
somsipbodhi_zazen: you can't use two different ports in one SCP operation. If both ports are the same then -P works fine02:08
ki7mtn-st, I've not seen any issues, just did an update/upgrade this evening.02:08
bodhi_zazenport has to be the port on the server02:08

bodhi_zazen22 by default02:09
bodhi_zazen-P does not specify the client port02:09

n-stki7mt: i used to get "An error occurred during the signature verification. […] GPG error: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com trusty-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5"02:09

somsipbodhi_zazen: if you are copying from one server to another (not from this server to another) you cannot use two different ports. You said you cn use user@server:/path for source and destination. You can't use it for both if the servers use different ports02:10
Prezidentyvear: did it work?02:10
bodhi_zazensomeon, that makes no sense02:11
Guest45006 02:11
PrezidentYou both are wrong lol, the port on source dosnt matter in this case at all.02:11
Prezidentsomsip: of course you can, i do it everyday.02:12
somsipPrezident: give an example02:12
yvearmy remote server A uses port 32444 for ssh, remote server B uses port 37134 for ssh02:12
bodhi_zazenPrezident, -P is the port on the server, not source or destination02:12
Prezidentbodhi_zazen: of course bodhi_zazen02:12
somsipyvear: if you ssh to serverA as you said you did, then just scp with -P 37134 and your fine. But you cannoth scp -P 37134 user@serverA:/path/file user@serverB:/path/file02:12
PrezidentThe destination port is stotally useless in this case.02:13
PrezidentDunno why you even mention it? :P02:13
somsipyvear: you could do that if the ports were the same, but they're not. That  is the pint I was trying to make to bodhi_zazen because he brought it up02:13
bodhi_zazen-P is always the listening port on the server and is an option in scp02:14
yvearoh ok tyvm, I want to get this right b/c I'm transferring 4.5tb02:14
bodhi_zazenthe client may or may not use the same port02:14
PrezidentHe wanna copy a folder from A > B > scp -P 37134 /home/jtj/ren yver@serverBip:/source, i dont see the problem at all.02:14
Prezidentand add -r infront of dir02:15
somsipyvear: np. Although someone else did recommend using rysnc which seems like a good idea given the size of the file02:15
somsips/file/directory02:15
PrezidentI would say problem solved.02:16
PrezidentFinally \m/ -_- \m/ .. Well it was 30 lines above anyway.02:16

fishcookeranyone have those port 127.0.0.1:10031 open on your machine02:39

liszante(restarting the router did not help)02:43
PrezidentGosh! Im so sad for you liszante but didnt expected other result, if youre on a laptop try move closer to the router thats the last tip i got, its 100% routers fault and not your os if you found your hotspot earlier :)02:44
liszanteThe desktop is the issue, alas. Oh, I did the ifconfig thing again. I have an inet6 addr now under wlan002:45
liszanteStill offline though02:45

julian2Hi. Quick question about Ubuntu Snappy Core. It looks like there are Ubuntu Core builds for i386 (32 bit), but the preview for Snappy only runs on AMD64 and ARMv7-A. Is this correct? The reason I ask is that I want to try Snappy Ubuntu for Devices on an old EeeBox PC lying around and it has a 32 bit CPU.03:26

julian2bazhang 2GB RAM, but big hard drive.03:38
bazhangjulian2, so not the original series eeepc03:38

julian2It’s the EB1007 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus_EeeBox_PC03:41
bazhangjulian2, I've run the full ubuntu on the very original eeepc witha 4g ssd, so snappy will run most certainly03:43
julian2bazhang Cool, it just seems the instructions for installing snappy only refer to the “Preview” release of Ubuntu Core, and that only has images for AMD64 and ARMv703:45
bazhangjulian2, you might wish to check the ##eeepc channel or check their most excellent forums, as they are very up to date and helpful on things such as this03:45
julian2Thanks. I’ll check them out too.03:45
bazhangjulian2, is this going to be a complete wipe of the existing OS, dual boot, or running on top of the existing squashfs03:46
bazhangpresuming yours has that03:46
julian2bazhang, I assumed I was going to wipe the existing OS (Lubuntu). It has a large hard drive (160GB?) so space is not an issue.03:48
bazhangjulian2, then you will want to check the forums section for that particular model, as they have it broken down as such (2g/4g ssd, more recent ones with hdd etc)03:50

tharkun_penguin1: 500-800 users are most likely to be accessing their imap/pop3 server so using the proper daemon is more crucial than any commodity hardware you can think off.05:26

ki7mtpenguin1, that's really not a Ubuntu support question, there are many factors that go into answering your question, however, Ubuntu as a disto can easily handle that small of a load.05:33

tharkun_ki7mt: 4GB Ram and a quadcore with postfix and dovecot should suffice for 800 users? or am I beeing too optimistic?05:34
Adam_About the 3GB + of phantom data.05:34
svetlanaask05:34
Adam_Is it in the scroll logs there?05:34
ki7mttharkun_, Im not going to go into the details here, but 4GB of ram would be a bare minimum for 100's of concurrent connections.05:35
Adam_The machine generated about 3GB or more of data dumped it to swap then purged the swap.05:35
Adam_All the while runing about 30% cpu usage on a dual processor and switching processors .05:36
Adam_The process list showed no processes using this.05:36

ki7mtrpp601, You can, but there are things that may cause you some issues; different HDD configurations, video, audio things of that nature.06:02
vindexhi, is there any way to setup custom partitions with an encrypted lvm in 14.04 server during installation?06:03
vindexthat is, from within the gui06:03
rpp601ki7mt: but it shouldn't throw up a bazillion errors and not boot - like windows would if you tried something similar06:03
ki7mtrpp601, more than likely you'll get through a boot process unless the hardware is totally different.06:04
rpp601ki7mt: currently, i'm doing this already but with a live version - i'm hoping for a bit of a speed increase by isntalling it06:04
ki7mtrpp601, If your devices are supported by the kernel, for the most part, you should be ok.06:05
rpp601ki7mt: cool i'll try it, worst case i just wipe it and put the live version back on it.06:05
ki7mtrpp601, Yup, there's no harm in trying it out. It's cheap and easy to try.06:06
ki7mtvindex, You can select manual partitioning during the install, but Im not sure if you can pick and choose what to encrypt and what not to encrypt.06:07

vindexi did it for a server install but never wrote down the steps and forgot what i did exactly, although i believe i had to do the process manually, stepping into a shell from the installer06:13
Kellihow do i safely remove grub and restore the windows boot loader for windows 8.1 (uefi btw)06:13
Kellior is that not even possible?06:13
Kelliguess nobody knows :(06:15
ki7mtKelli, Im not an EFI guru, but can't you use the efibootmgr and set the boot order to boot Windows first?06:16
ki7mtAs far as Im aware, there's no MBR in a UEFI  only the /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi  or somthign along those lines.06:18

jac0bz1O'hoi good people of the interwebz! Anyone here got some tips for me? I need to remote control an ubuntu-machine, and i need to use a software like teamviewer/logmein/etc. And i need it to start "hidden". We have a kiosk based software, it previously ran on OSX, and with teamviewer we could check the online-status, and offer remote support.07:11
somsipjac0bz1: why isn't teamviewer a usuable solution for you with the new setup?07:12
tonyyarussovindex: fdisk should be there, but that's not going to solve the problem of not being able to modify something that's mounted.07:15
tonyyarussovindex: What's wrong with the stuff in the "partition disks" stage of the installer exactly?07:15
tonyyarussovindex: Like, if you rebooted and went to it, does it still not let you change something?07:16
jac0bz1somsip: bacause the window "Computers & Contacts" starts with teamviewer in a vine emulated windows. This pops up in top of everthing else. Causing it to be in front of our kiosk software07:22

RepoxHi guys. I'm having an issue with a service, and since the service I'm trying to start doesn't actually start, I was hoping someone would know where I should start looking instead? http://serverfault.com/questions/669522/elasticsearch-wont-start-as-a-service-no-log-is-created08:57
TJ-Repox: Do the user/group that the service is launched as, exist? If so, do they have sufficient permissions to read/write to the locations they try to access?09:00

RepoxTJ- ofc, it's a service account, so I'll just attach a bash to try starting it that way.09:05

jayesh92k1l: The page you linked doesn't shows about installation13:50
k1ljayesh92: you know about the upstart vs systemd controversy and the target for 16.04 to be systemd as standard init?13:50

GandalfTheWheyk1l: Just looking around it seems a lot of people don't have issues13:51

blackangelprsvetlana, i hoppe the question was honest ^^ so here you go: What happends its ubuntu its commited to support in longterm since the kernel updates every so oftem they could not push them to the users as quickly as they come out so you get stuck with older kernels for long periods of time or with x or y ver of ubutnu you got13:53

somsip!info flashplugin-installer | Drummy14:18
cfhowlettDrummy, or install ubuntu-restricted-extras14:18

Drummyokay cool thanks14:19
svetlanaDrummy: mind that flash player is proprietary and non-free -- youtube-dl is a moderately useful alternative.  (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html & look up youtube-dl in your package manager)14:21
svetlana(or gnash, if you'd like to use it in your web browser, is a free implementation of flash)14:21
somsipDrummy: ...and Chrome uses it's own internal player, so I use FF without flash for safety, and fire up Chrome if I really need to use flash14:22
DrummyChrome or Chromium?14:22
DrummyThat makes sense though, maybe I won't mess with getting flash to work in FF14:23
somsipDrummy: chrome from PPA for me. Just avoids getting caught by flash when I'm using FF for normal browsing. Might use it for the odd BBC video but that's about it, so use Chrome as and when14:24

blackangelprhfound, on advance there is a option for the gpg keys14:30
simosxhfound, if you run 'Software Updater' (update-manager), it should refresh the list of packages and resolve issues with keys.14:31
somsipchoki: double expands the contents of variables and other special chars14:31
blackangelprhggdh, https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/y-ppa-manager    simosx  it also happened to me and did not help :p14:31
simosxhfound, if you added other repositories, you may have forgotten to add the corresponding  GPG keys.14:32
DrummyAnother noob question: What would you recommend to manage workspaces and specific app rules?14:33
simosxblackangelpr, Y- PPA manager seems to do the key management for PPAs from a GUI. Without it, one needs to add the key manually, or 'apt-add-repository'.14:34
=== eblip is now known as eb0t
blackangelprsimosx, harder when you got lots of stuff going on and if they are asking here mostly that is the most easiest way14:34
simosxDrummy, what do you mean by workspaces and app rules?14:34
Drummyrules to designate what workspace certain apps will open in, what size the window will be, etc.14:35
svetlanaYour desktop environment is responsible for workspaces I think.14:36
simosxblackangelpr, indeed, a GUI tool is the best.14:36
simosxDrummy, you use Unity 7 or something else?14:36
DrummyI'm not sure, I just installed Ubuntu 14.0414:37
svetlanaO.O It should have a good "Help" button which says what it is.14:38
simosxDrummy, so it's Unity 7. As svetlana said, the desktop environment does the placement.14:38
simosxDrummy, it is possible for a desktop environment to offer such features, however I do not think that Unity 7 at the moment offers it.14:39
=== andrex|off is now known as andrex
simosxDrummy, if you really need such things, you might want to experiment with other desktop environments, like http://awesome.naquadah.org/14:40
nuke1989hi. How can i block a list of IPs from accessing my computer? I see that i can use iptables but i dont know how to use it with a long list14:41
simosxDrummy, but I wholeheartedly recommend, as a new user that you are, to try to use what is offered and make your new system productive. Tinkering can be done at a latter stage.14:41
somsipDrummy: WHS - there are many tiling WMs but I use awesome and having apps pinned to different screens on different monitor is great for me14:41
simosxnuke1989, there is 'ufw', which is a GUI for those 'iptables'. Read more about the program at http://gufw.org/. Then, install it from the Software Centre.14:42
Drummyokay. So maybe I'm looking for a window manager then14:43
nuke1989simosx, its a VM so i cant use GUI14:43
simosxDrummy, it's possible to install, for example, 'awesome' on Ubuntu 14.04 and then, while logging in, to select that instead of standard Ubuntu.14:44
DrummySo Unity is my current WM14:45
Drummywell, Unity is the Desktop Environment, and it is also my current WM14:47
Drummydo I have that right?14:47
simosxDrummy, click on the gear at the top-right of your screen, then click on 'About this computer'. It should tell you all these details.14:47
simosxnuke1989, even with VM, it's possible to try a GUI. It depends on what access rights you have on the VM.14:49
simosxnuke1989, but still, if you are doing sysadm, you might have to go the CLI way (type the commands).14:49
nuke1989simosx, actually i found this   cat file_with_ips | xargs -n1 iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s14:50
somsipnuke1989: do they vary a lot or do you have ranges of IPs to block?14:51
simosxnuke1989, the 'iptables' command would be the same for all those IPs. So, indeed that command helps.14:51
nuke1989they vary a lot14:51
nuke1989ok thanks. i think this should work....14:51
somsipnuke1989: fair enough. I routinely block broad swathes of..well...china usually. Just thought I'd check14:51

simosxhackeron, check the file /usr/share/ubuntu-release-upgrader/DistUpgrade.cfg  At the end of it, there are some options for [NonInteractive] that you can set (like ForceInteractive).14:57
MyrkurHi14:58
Lumia930 is that possible that i can use my office 360 mail accout in SVN notification server14:58
MyrkurI was just wondering, is there a way I could have 2 ssh servers in the same lan ?14:58
hackeronsimosx: having a look, I can see DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive - but that is what I am using already?14:58
AristotleJonestransmission14:58
hateballMyrkur: What do you mean by SSH server? Any machine you like can run an sshd14:59
Myrkuryes hateball14:59
MyrkurI have 2 servers that I'd like to access to15:00
MyrkurFor now I first log in the one who has a port forwarding then log in the second one, since they're in the same network15:00
hateballMyrkur: So you're talking from WAN -> LAN ?15:00
simosxhackeron, check the end of the file.15:01
hateballMyrkur: Have the hosts run sshd run on different ports (not 22) and forward setup NAT accordingly15:01
Myrkuryep hateball15:01
hateballMyrkur: so WAN.ip:ZYX -> host1:ZYX, and WAN.ip:XYZ goes to host2:XYZ15:02
hackeronsimosx: [NonInteractive]15:02
hackeronForceOverwrite=yes15:02
Myrkurwould it work ? i haerd it could be dangerous to use ports above 102415:02
hackeronsimosx: so it should be overwriting but it isn't :(15:03
Myrkuryeah ok hateball15:03
Myrkurthx15:03
hackeronsimosx: if I run ps aux, it's actually stuck on running: /usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --force-overwrite --status-fd 70 --configure ...15:03
hackeronsimosx: but it is not actually force overwriting anything, it's stuck waiting for user input, but because it is a non interactive shell, I can't give any15:04

GandalfTheWheyHey - How do I get 1080p on the Intel HD 4000? I can only get 1024x76815:06
cfhowlettGandalfTheWhey, did you install the intel drivers?15:07
simosxMyrkur, I noticed that you used 'sed' earlier to change the files. There might be some other similar changes that make it difficult to figure out. You would need to go step by step to debug this. Sorry.15:07

tomodachicfhowlett: i dont believe your way of giving help to noobs is proper ,15:11
chokixD15:11
simosxhackeron, can't tell. Would need to dig deeper. The issue however is with ForceOverwrite is not being honored. Perhaps the real .cfg file is somewhere else?15:11
annabel_Drummy: poor you15:11
tomodachisince this means problems further  down the road15:11
annabel_nuke1989: you can with VNC15:11
cfhowletttomodachi, I've the exact same driver as he has for the past year with the intel driver.  no issues.  if you have better advice, give it.15:12
GandalfTheWheyNope does not work15:12
hackeronsimosx: any ideas how to dig deeper? - I can reproduce this on all my servers running trusty15:12
GandalfTheWheyI downloaded and installed "Graphics Installer 1.0.7 for Ubuntu* 14.04, 64-bit" installed it using the software installer clicked install and restarted still no 1080p15:12
cfhowlettGandalfTheWhey, look in your tools and start the intel installer15:13
simosxhackeron, use 'strace' to see what files are being opened. You need to verify that the command is reading the right config file.15:13
GandalfTheWheycfhowlett: I did. It installed15:13
GandalfTheWheyUbuntu Software Centre installed it15:13
simosxGandalfTheWhey, does your display support 1080p? These are done now automatically.15:14
Drummyannabel_: huh?15:14
cfhowlettGandalfTheWhey, 2 part process.  first the installer installs, then start the installer to get the drivers15:14

m1dnight_guys, I'm having troubles getting an init.d script to start on boot15:15
=== lobo is now known as Guest92945
m1dnight_when i run sudo service name start, it works fine15:15
m1dnight_it does not run on boot however15:15
GandalfTheWheytomodachi: what problems?15:15
m1dnight_I have set +x on defaults and on the init.d/ file. I did update-rc too.15:15
hackeronsimosx: I can verify that without strace - this is the last line: *** sysctl.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? -- so the logs are showing what the problem is. This file was notified by me, but --force-overwrite is not being honoured or I think maybe force-confnew is not being passed. How would I pass force-confnew?15:15
m1dnight_Could somebody provide some debugging assitance? To solve it, please? :)15:15
annabel_Drummy: ignore me i am feeling despondent, sorry15:16
simosxhackeron, there were two --force-overwrite options in the command line. Perhaps being two, cancels them out?15:16
simosxGandalfTheWhey, there is read-edid and edid-decode that can tell you what your monitor is reporting to the graphics card (regarding resolution), and whether the EDID of your monitor is messed up (it is on some monitors).15:17
hackeronsimosx: no, the argument parser just ignores the same argument being passed twice - but force-overwrite overwrites package files, not configuration files - it seems like Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" is not being passed15:17
simosxm1dnight_, you need to also select the 'runlevel' that the SysV (init.d) command will run in.15:18

tomodachiGandalfTheWhey:  cfhowlett  a fact, you do NOT need any other driver to get full resolution on the Intel hd 400015:22

White_Catwhat is incorrect?15:30
simosxm1dnight_, if you want to run a command that is not a service, you can just add it to /etc/rc.local instead.15:31
m1dnight_well, it's a service15:31
m1dnight_its sickbeard, in this particular case15:31
m1dnight_are there any logs I can consult about this?15:31
m1dnight_like "init d script foo failed"15:32
simosxm1dnight_, have you followed instructions such as http://www.htpcbeginner.com/install-sickbeard-on-ubuntu/ ?15:34
m1dnight_simosx: exactly those :)15:35
m1dnight_I ave scoured the google-planes for bugs, but o solution worked15:36
m1dnight_i really don't get it15:36
m1dnight_ill try and redo everything15:36

omgitsmitSuffice to say, i haven't had to use those alt images in years.16:32
DemHydrazI used unetbootin to burn an ISO of ubuntu gnome 14.10 to an USB- when I tell my laptop to boot from USB HDD:, it says, in the top-left corner of the screen, "Booting in insecure mode". No grub screen shows, at all, and it just stays there. Monitor turned on, no video of any kind16:33

geekstayHi everyone. I m looking for a standard template for configuration file, and library working with them. Does anyone know one ? Does a standard format for configuration file exist ?19:06
bazhang!gpgerr | Paddy_NI what about this19:06
ubottuPaddy_NI what about this: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com <key> »19:06
bazhanggeekstay, config for what exactly19:07
Tinchealso, which language?19:07
ioriaPaddy_NI: try sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8BAF9A6F   and the update19:08
geekstayI dont know. it could be for a small piece of code we can manage with config file, or a big project we are working on.19:08
bazhanggeekstay, one size fits all ?19:08
Paddy_NIioria, I'm going to do them one by one now19:08
Paddy_NIbazhang, Thanks19:08
bazhangwelcome Paddy_NI19:09
Tinchefor example, Python has configparser in the standard library, so ini files are easy to use from it19:09
geekstayTinche : i don t care. It s a general question.19:09
bazhanggeekstay, then no19:09
geekstaybazhang : I don t understand19:09
geekstaybazhan : Oki. I thought there was a standard.19:10
Tinchegeekstay, well, you have a million options then I suppose. I'd go with ini files probably19:10
Tinchemaybe json if you need nested data structures19:10
Tinchemaybe xml, the world's your oyster!19:11
geekstayTinche : I use xml, json and ini file. And since I use them, I never have problem. I was looking for better solution.19:12
Tinchegeekstay, let me know if you find it. :p19:13

PiciBazylot: take a look at the output of sudo apt-get autoremove, it will prompt you to get rid of unused packages.  apt-get clean may also be useful.  Otherwise, there is no real meaning of 'unusued', since the system assumes that you are using everything that you have installed.20:29

pavlosdesperate_joe, no suggestions, there are too mnay things that could affect performance. If your net is ok, then look at processes ...21:20
k1lAegNuddel: you cant upgrade to 10.10 since that is dead already. so make sure it looks for LTS upgrades like explained in that link21:20
AegNuddelok21:21
pavlosdesperate_joe, run 'top' sort by %cpu21:21
desperate_joe@pavlos: how to look for and into processes?21:21
desperate_joefirefox 11%21:22
desperate_joeor 7% (its not fixed) but that's the highest value21:22
desperate_joeall other programs are below 7%21:22

geirhalinelevel: No, it detects it automatically21:49
linelevelgeirha: Okay, I'll give that a shot. Thanks.21:50
linelevelgeirha: One follow-up: Would it be possible for a cronjob to delete itself (i.e. to run a script that deletes that cronjob)? Or would the cronjob file be locked while the job is running?21:51
bitcycleHey all.  I'm trying to mount an NFS share.  Does rpcbind-boot service need to be running?21:51

mike123i installed 10.04 and no i have gui22:01
kryptonradonI don't but it won't hurt it22:01
omgitsmithorrible solution, we havent even had him run basic cmds22:01
Ben64mike123: 10.04 is way not supported, install 14.0422:01
kryptonradonand could save time22:01
mike123@omgitsmit i am running 10.04 desktop not server installation just using it as a plex media server22:02
omgitsmitmike123: any reason you havent upgraded it?22:02
omgitsmiti surely hope you've at least kept up with updates22:03
Ben64if i'm understanding correctly, he *just* installed 10.0422:03
omgitsmitwith all the recent stuff, heartbleed and shellshock22:03
mike123i tried installing 14.04 and it wouldnt install. it would give me the options from live cd then blank screen for hours if i made any selection22:03
omgitsmitBen64: he also said he uses it for plex, which doesnt look like a fresh install to me22:03
mike123also tried 12.04 with the same results22:03
omgitsmitmike123: have you tried the alternate install cd?22:03
mike12310.04 is the only version that would actually install22:03
Ben64there is no alternate anymore22:03
Ben64could use the mini.iso22:03
omgitsmitBen64: well thats why i cant find it lol22:04
mike123yes on both versions 14 and 12 i tried the alternate22:04
omgitsmitis this server hardware super old or what?22:04
mike123i have about 9 dvds on my desk with different iso burnt to them22:04
omgitsmitwell, it can read DVDs22:04
omgitsmitso theres that22:04
mike123its a compaq desktop amd 64 320 gig hard drive and 2 gigs of ram. a few years old22:05
omgitsmitso you have 10.04 running on it right now?22:05

mike123yes 10.0422:05
Ben64install 14.0422:05
omgitsmitBen64: he tried22:05
Ben64come here with the problems22:05
Ben64installing 10.04 is more problems22:05
omgitsmitBen64: maybe we can get his wireless up so he can upgrade22:06
Ben64no thats crazy22:06
mike12314.04 as well as 12.04 would not even initialize instalation22:06
Ben64try the mini.iso22:06
mike123tried it lol22:06
omgitsmitis the mini the new alternate?22:06
Ben64try the 32bit version22:06
mike123i tried every single version of the 12.04 and 14.04 i could find.22:07
mike123tried burning to dvd as well as loading from flash22:07
Ben64then actually come back here with it22:07
omgitsmithe's here now, with it22:07
Ben64no, he's here with 10.04 installed22:07
omgitsmitmaybe we should contact Ben32 /s22:08
mike123the issue ben64 is that when i attempt to make a selection from the main menu of the iso ie try without install install etc it freezes22:08

Ben64mike123: you don't have more than one computer?22:10
mike123i have a laptop running win 722:10
Ben64perfect, now load up the iso22:10
Ben64first thing to try is what Bashing-om says22:11
omgitsmitwhy cant he just do a release upgrade since he's already on the box22:11
omgitsmitand its obviously connected to the internet22:11
omgitsmitsince he's talking to us with it22:11
mike123yes im on the box connected to the internet via ethernet22:11
omgitsmiti would just upgrade from 10.0422:11
omgitsmitsave the hassle22:11
mike123ok this may be a dumb question but how do i get "here" from windows pc?22:12
Ben64because it would be two upgrades, which take a long time and it's not as good as a fresh install, and may not even boot afterwards because of the same problem as the iso22:12

Mike321ok im in22:15
Mike321Ben64 im inserting the 14.04 disc now.22:16
Mike321Ben64? omgitsmit?22:17
omgitsmitI've stepped away from this one22:18
omgitsmitJust watching Ben6422:18
Mike321well crap.22:18
kruxanybody know why after installing 14.10 / 14.04 laptop asus K52F it installs fine after i click on restart now it goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor but nothing else happens ?22:18
omgitsmitI will ask, did you checksum the isos before burning?22:18
Mike321its giving me the option to open with package manager22:18
omgitsmitHe will also want to know which versions you're trying to install, 32 vs 64bit22:18
Mike32164 bit22:19
omgitsmitMike321: so you're not booting from it?22:19
Mike321i was kinda waiting until i had one of you guys before i did anything to make sure i didnt screw up22:19
omgitsmitwell, my old fix was to run the old alternate cds22:20
omgitsmiti too have a server that doesnt like the GUI style install22:20
sirsquishyok small dilema. Clonezilla cannot read the paritition information from an Ubuntu Install. So when it trys to deploy an image and recreate the parition info it fails. In windows diskpart sees 0 partition info as well. When you use diskpart to clean and create 1 partition with a quick format, clonezilla works with out an issue.22:20
omgitsmitthe text installer worked great22:20
omgitsmitbut Ben64 said the alt iso's are no longer around, and to try out the mini iso22:20
omgitsmitso i wont be much of assistance with the installation as my "fix" is no longer22:21
kruxi installed both versions of ubuntu 14.04/14.10 on the latop asus k52f but after succesfully finishing the process and clicking on restart now and after it reboots it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor on the top left ? anybody aware of this or know what could be causing this ?22:21
Mike321well im not trying to run a traditional "server" i just am using it as a server so to speak. the box will be my plex media server as well as the "home" desktop for minor "i need to google something" needs22:21
omgitsmitMike321: ah so you're installing a window manager?22:21
omgitsmitlike unity or gnome22:21
Mike321im installing the desktop release not server release22:22
sirsquishy#clonezilla22:22
sirsquishysorry stupid keyboard22:22
omgitsmityou could try burning the server ISO, and install the desktop enviornment afterwards22:22
omgitsmitthe latest 14.04 ISO worked on the same server i had issues with previously, that needed the alternate ISO to get going22:23
Mike321tried that. server addition will install to command prompt but after "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop they cease to function22:23
omgitsmitwhoa22:24
omgitsmitthat's a bit odd22:24
Mike321yea.22:24
omgitsmitgo ahead and boot off the 14.04 CD22:24
svetlanadefine "cease to function"22:24

omgitsmitchecksum the iso before burning to make sure it wasnt corrupt?22:30
Mike321that is a no. hence why i have burnt so many copies22:30
omgitsmithmm22:30

omgitsmitMike321: the nomodeset is probably the solution22:33
WebflashingCould anyone point me in the right direction here?22:33
omgitsmitWebflashing: you cannot locate the xorg.conf file to back it up?22:33
Webflashingomgitsmit: exactly22:34
EriC^^Webflashing: ubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf by default22:34

Mike321ok omgitsmit give me a sec to read the link22:34
WebflashingThe current opensource driver is not working right for me so I wanted to install the propietary ones as per the link sugests22:34

Mike321it gave me the ubuntu 14.04 with the little dots beneath it which moved for a while then went to black screen22:46
Mike321how do i direct a message at a user?22:46
est31it needs libvpx-dev which needs libvpx1 of version 1.3.0-2.1, but 1.3.0-3~trusty should be installed22:47
omgitsmitstart typing the name, then hit TAB to auto complete the username22:47
est31and version dependency is = one not a => one22:47
EriC^^Mike321: does ctrl+alt+f1 bring up a tty?22:47

R13oseomgitsmit: okay, I will look into that.22:48
omgitsmitR13ose: i think the package is called restricted-extras or something22:48
EriC^^Mike321: ok, you could try acpi=off as a kernel line parameter and see if it works22:48
EriC^^Mike321: otherwise i'd just see which driver works with your graphics card and install it after installing ubuntu22:48
trismest31: what is: apt-cache policy libvpx1;22:48
EriC^^Mike321: type lspci | grep VGA to get it22:48

Webflashingomgitsmit: the first one was nautilus, have been getting that error for a while, but the second one wouldnt say.23:06
k1l_AegNuddel: ok. there is the reason why you have such issues: some repos were set to 10.10 "jaunty" and that spoils the system23:06
digcloudpostfix logs show "Connection timed out". I created an Ubuntu 14.04 box using Vagrant on top of VirtualBox. I'm using this to develop a PHP app, which includes sending email notifications.23:06

digcloudAny idea how to configure postfix so that it can send emails?23:06
omgitsmitWebflashing: i get errors also23:06
AegNuddelk1l_, i did not do that on purpose23:07
Webflashingomgitsmit: the most upsetting one is that I have to lock the computer before being able to interact with any gui whatsoever23:07
Mike321EriC^^: ok so after the command that i ran "install nvidia-173" when i reboot i cant even get into the live cd at all. it just boots straight to black screen23:07

AegNuddelWhat do I do23:08
omgitsmitWebflashing: no, but i do get a crash report whenever i log in23:08
AegNuddel?23:08
EriC^^Mike321: you can check which graphics driver you're using23:08
omgitsmitWebflashing: naut crashes, but i thought it was from all my custom stuff23:08
Webflashingomgitsmit: I see, im gonna see what can I figure out about it and get back to ya23:08
omgitsmitgood luck23:09
Mike321EriC^^: ok give me a sec to boot to the os23:09
postmodernwhat is the correct way to set a custom PATH for upstart scripts?23:09
EriC^^Mike321: is the server installation still there? you could test out the graphics driver with it23:09
k1l_AegNuddel: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" then use the texteditor to exchange the "jaunty"s with "lucid". there are 4 jauntys make sure to change them all.23:09
k1l_AegNuddel: then "ctrl+o" for saving. then"ctrl+x" for leaving.23:09
Mike321EriC^^: wait im not doing a server install. im doing 14.04 desktop23:09
Mike321EriC^^: im booted into the 10.04 desktop os now.23:10
EriC^^i know, but you said you installed the server then the ubuntu-desktop package earlier23:10
EriC^^ok, type lshw -C video | grep driver23:10

aradapilotfun time.  got an ubuntu pc, single bootable (grub) ssd on / and mdadm raid on /home.  i have a drive from a single win 7 install on a pc that no longer exists that i threw into it, and need to boot off it (one time thing).  i don't have much experience on windows, but it's giving me this 'windows failed to start' message, perhaps an mbr issue.  happens using grub-generated chainloader setup or booting to that drive directl23:17
aradapiloty from uefi.  boot flag is set, and i know this worked in another machine, i guess these installs are not very portable.  I found docs that suggest using the boot-repair package to generate a new mbr on that drive, but the options in the docs i found don't correspond to the options in the current version of boot-repair...and i'm hesitant to let a little-documented gui tool mess with my system, but can find no CLI alternativ23:17

k1l_ciwolsey: what about you set it in nvidia settings and let it save to a xorg.conf?23:42
ciwolseypretty sure thats what ive done23:42
ciwolseyclick that button that says save23:42
Whiskeyhaha23:42
ciwolseybut its like its not writing the refresh rate or something23:42
Whiskeyit miss one :D23:42
Whiskeywtf23:42
Ben64ciwolsey: does it actually save though23:43
AegNuddelbye23:43
ciwolseyBen64, what ill try is saving it to ~/blah.conf23:43
Ben64if you're running nvidia-settings normally it doesn't have access to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf23:43
ciwolseythen ill copy blah.conf over the conf in /etc23:43
ciwolseyyeah i know that23:43
ciwolseyeven when i run as root the refresh isnt kept but let me try it again just to make sure23:43
WhiskeyHave to find out what it is :D pavlos: it was good anyway :D23:43
rpp601hey guys, if i had a file full of words and it was 20+gb, and i wanted to know if a single word was in that file. how would i go about searching it?23:44
pavlosWhiskey, man grep is a good read23:44
k1l_rpp601: use grep23:45
ciwolseyBen64, this is the output from nvidia-settings: https://gist.github.com/ciwolsey/60f40df4d838964d34ef23:46
ciwolseydoes it look right?23:46
rpp601k1l_: can you give me a quick example? i've used grep but not in this context23:46
rpp601grep file | string ?23:46
ciwolseyBen64, then i did sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf23:47
k1l_rpp601: grep string /path/to/file23:47

WhiskeyI got everyone espect one23:53
Whiskeybut how to kill them?23:53
Whiskeypavlos: ps -ef | grep Old | grep -v New <--works fine23:54
pavlosWhiskey, try killall program-Old ... then see what's left and use a similar pattern23:54
Whiskeywell i can kill whit one by one23:55
Whiskeybut i was try to find out how to kill all in same itme23:55
Whiskey"time"23:55
pavlosWhiskey, sure23:55
Whiskey:P23:56
EriC^^Whiskey: how many dots are these "...." ?23:57
pavlosWhiskey, if you find a good pattern, killall works nice. Then you narrow your pattern till all of the unwanted processes are gone23:57
EriC^^Whiskey: if the programs are called ProgramOld- then use pkill ^ProgramOld- to kill them all23:59
