[00:00] Hello. 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. [00:16] Jordan_U: I am back now. If you have time to try to help me [00:18] hej [00:19] om jag ska kontakta supporten, det finns två alternativ. klagomål och teknisk support. [00:19] ärendet gäller en trasig mini usb kontakt på en surfplatta. [00:19] vilket alternativ ska ja välja?

Specially with comercial grade wifi routers. ISP's are known to have them isue a very small time when doing dhcp connections leading to such type of problems [00:42] wired connection [00:42] Windows Worked all day and all night [00:42] Still, dhcp is recicled every minutes. [00:42] windows does that [00:42] ubuntu 14.10 is working for me though [00:43] So, what do you suggest il do Tharkun [00:43] Coldfusionstorm: mtr -r ip_here to your trusted server and see what it is breaking out. [00:44] im a novice in linux, trusted server as in secure or as in reliable? [00:44] Coldfusionstorm: I'm new to ubuntu just been on it for about 00:43:49 but it is a regular linux flavour. [00:44] Coldfusionstorm: As in reliable :) === Yukkino is now known as Yukkii [00:46] i did bot a ping and the command you just sent [00:46] the ping had a 34% packet loss [00:47] http://pastebin.com/BnRmnj6q [00:47] Coldfusionstorm: There you go. [00:47] http://pastebin.com/f6NginRH [00:47] you sound like it's fixed [00:47] however [00:47] imagine [00:47] i now restart [00:47] and boot to windows [00:48] and everything works [00:48] updating apps [00:48] browsing webpages [00:48] listening to web music [00:48] And pressing enter every few words. [00:48] yes, Sorry, it is a bad habbit of mine, il try to reduce it. [00:51] Hi I'm new here could direct me to which linux distribution to use in a computer processor 1.8 Ghz Memory 2 Gb? [00:51] AnonimoGermany: Purpose dictates the distro, rarely hw does. [00:51] lubuntu would be good [00:52] Coldfusionstorm: What stat does the ping on windows show? [00:52] AnonimoGermany: ubuntu should work but you could look at xubuntu or the very lightweight Lubuntu [00:53] Thank you EriC [00:53] no problem [00:54] 2 sec [00:54] Thank you all for the help I will download [00:55] how can i get a list of what my os said before it loaded [00:55] dmesg is good [00:56] or kernel log [00:57] How complicated is to make out of ubuntu a headless server?

[00:59] yes firefox [01:00] I wouldnt touch adobe-flash, i recommend to use chromium-browser instead. === marcuspbaird is now known as bairdsnews [01:00] ts hard to replace adobe-flash for firefox. [01:00] alright [01:00] well, how do i change it to the correct one? [01:01] I do not understand the question. To the correct one? [01:01] Version or what? [01:01] thank you Prezident [01:01] Change to correct NIC Controller [01:01] Coldfusionstorm: Sorry I've got to enter a meeting now but you might wait for someone to guide you. You will need some information provided by lspci -nn [01:01] Alright, well Thanks Tharkun [01:01] You welcome AnonimoGermany, if you can skip adobe-flash do it, much security issues. [01:02] I really like firefox is what kills it the adobe flash [01:02] I understand, yes the browser is great. Sadly i dont know a work around for flash. [01:03] sigh [01:04] Coldfusionstorm: have you loaded a proper module? [01:04] module? [01:04] http://pastebin.com/T9rYckz1 [01:04] Driver [01:04] i did nothing, it just loaded up [01:04] i guess Ubuntu picked one for me [01:05] to coming out thanks for the response [01:05] Tharkun said i might need that link [01:05] well, the command i ran [01:05] the last command [01:06] This is what i ran [01:06] lspci -nn [01:07] Prezident, How do i load the correct modile? [01:07] *module [01:07] Wait, gonna check your pastebin. [01:07] alright [01:07] Instead that command he said.. [01:08] do lspci -k [01:08] Wich module is loaded under your nic-card? [01:08] r8961? [01:09] http://pastebin.com/tDQNAEHR [01:09] let me find it [01:10] im not sure [01:10] can't seem to find that number [01:10] kernel driver in use: alx [01:11] Hello! I'm new to ubuntu (and linux) and am trying to connect to the Internet on my new linux-only desktop. Chatting from my chromebook atm. Here's my info: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10281200/ [01:11] I would greatly appreciate any help you can give! Thanks! [01:11] Oh [01:11] When searching for my NIC [01:12] i get alot of hits [01:15] Sorry im slow, playing the last of us.. Alright Coldfusionstorm [01:15] No problem :) [01:15] pastebin 'sudo ethtool eth0' if its your device name under ifconfig [01:16] http://pastebin.com/EZ0JmSu6 [01:17] eth0 is my card [01:17] btw, do you got same problem when you connecting from wifi? [01:17] or its from wire connection only? [01:17] i don't have access to Wifi [01:17] ok [01:17] this is wire [01:17] yeah thought you had since you got wlan on computer, let me see [01:19] Yeah i also usually do have acess to i, just not now :/ [01:20] When you saying it goes down to halt, you loosing connection [01:20] i don't know if the NIC actually dicconnects [01:20] Alright, lets begin there then. [01:21] but steam complete drops to 0 Bytes [01:21] open terminal, and ping www.google.com [01:21] and see if it stop when your connections going to 'halt' [01:22] so [01:22] should i look for if terminal output pauses? [01:22] yes [01:22] or if the ping tool drops a line [01:22] alright [01:22] or stops [01:23] Then you know if you loosing your connection [01:23] And if it does, you has to change your driver(module) [01:23] hmmm [01:23] the packet loss dissapeared [01:23] after i stopped download from steam [01:23] perhaps its a QoS issue [01:24] who wants to start a fire [01:25] Coldfusionstorm: try sudo rmmod alx && sudo modprobe r8169 please. [01:26] Thath unload alx driver aslong its a module and loads another driver. [01:26] def had a pause there [01:26] Ok, try this then ^ [01:26] Else it might be a powersaving problem i belive. Im unsure here, its worth to try [01:26] alright [01:27] i think it starts just as soon as i begin downloading in steam [01:27] il the the unloading [01:27] *il try [01:29] hello. why cant i connect with ethernet on linux [01:29] when its plugged in red cross [01:31] Hello. [01:31] hello all. i am having trouble booting the kubuntu vivid alpha 2 live cd. i am only able to see the grub command prompt. the grub configfile seems to be missing and all other files except for the ones in the efi folder on one partition. what could be wrong? [01:32] userme: red cross? You cant connect to internet cause? [01:32] Seems i got alot problems today to understand all questions from begin :D [01:33] if u plug ethernet cable in linux red cross on the eternet symbol [01:33] any one else got this error while trying to launch vmware http://postimg.org/image/s5o2nklnz/ [01:33] From what I've found online, a lot of people are struggling with wifi. [01:34] related 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] Aha, 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] well woudnt believe it just plugged it in worked [01:35] alright [01:35] liszante: yes, if you got broadcom card, mostly it helps with blacklist the bcma b43 and ssb module and modprobe wl [01:35] you get wl by broadcom-sta package [01:35] ive just seen need a mac for wifi or ethernet [01:35] Prezident: , that just lost me my internet connect on my Nix Bpx [01:36] Coldfusionstorml: ok, just reload your old driver with sudo rmmod wl && sudo modprobe alx [01:36] I 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] Then i would guess you has to check your power hibernate for your nic card, might be the problem if you loosing connection [01:36] Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 06) [01:36] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P8P67 and other motherboards [1043:8432] [01:36] Kernel driver in use: r8169 [01:37] people may know in here can only ask why is my snr dropping low [01:37] Thats your ethernet driver liszante [01:37] Sorry. [01:38] Whats the problem anyway liszante, you cant connect to wifi? [01:38] My wifi connection initially showed as very weak. Then it dropped. Now it usually doesn't show my network. When it does, the signal strength is not enough to connect. [01:38] Or it drops immediately. [01:39] Is it possible to make users sudo in order to access group permissions? [01:39] I'm on my chromebook in the same room as my desktop and it has full signal strength. [01:39] alright [01:39] im back on my main === martinklepsch is now known as Guest82617 [01:39] can someone link to a design documentation for the format, partitions, file structure, etc. currently contained within the live cd's? i am having a problem understanding where to even begin troubleshooting [01:40] Right now I'm connected to my network, but have no internet. [01:40] change wi fi channel liz [01:40] --- www.google.com ping statistics --- [01:40] 7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6000ms [01:41] that is some bad packet loss [01:42] any idea what is going on Prezident ? [01:43] how do you get nginx to auto-start? I tried 'sudo update-rc.d nginx defaults' but it returns 'update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/nginx: file does not exist' [01:43] Changing 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. [01:44] that's like saying that it's okay for your roomate to drive partly in the wrong lane because he would be okay in a crash [01:44] Besides, every other device connected to this network is fine. Just the new computer isn't. [01:44] I'll ask. [01:46] liszante: try use wpa_supplicant liszante [01:46] For setup your wifi settings. [01:46] Coldfusionstorm: i dont know, if its goes down after a while i would bet its going down in powersave. [01:46] Thanks. There's only 2 networks on channel 11 it looks like, but okay. [01:47] well, that would make a lot of sense since this is a laptop [01:47] but im on AC now === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [01:48] well [01:48] it does not die completely [01:48] i can still do some browsing [01:48] it does not time out [01:48] completely [01:48] but a webpage will try and load and load [01:49] but still get "alive packets" [01:50] I 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? [01:51] well, Prezident thanks for the help [01:51] il call it for tonight [01:51] this is very annoying tho [01:51] yvear: with scp. [01:52] on port 22 you can simply do scp file user@ip:/path/on/target [01:52] on diff port and dir scp -P ** -r folder user@ip:/path/on/target [01:53] You has to use uppercase P for scp and lowercase p for ssh [01:55] If 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 yvear [01:57] Prezident, can you please give a sample command with the 2nd server having ssh set up with a port other than 22? [01:57] Is it a folder or file yvear ? [01:59] '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/yver [02:00] If 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. [02:01] And 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] Prezident, 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 37134 [02:01] oh I think I see [02:03] Then 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] I think i understood you right now [02:03] might add sudo infront of scp if you aint logged in as root [02:04] sudo will not help with scp [02:04] Prezident, so scp can only send files, can't copy from? [02:04] yvear, take a look at sftp, sshfs, and/or rsync (over ssh) [02:04] Your better off using rsync rather than scp for that operation anyway [02:05] I thought you wanted send 'ren' folder to user6 dir? [02:05] yvear: scp -i {key} -P 37134 -r user@serverB:/home/tgf/ren /home/user6 [02:05] hi, is anyone else getting a signature verification error for the trusty-updates repository? [02:05] scp is just like cp [02:06] scp source destination [02:06] source or destination can be user@server:/path === jalcine is now known as Guest62335 [02:06] somsip, is {key} the 'other server' ssh key? [02:06] bodhi_zazen: except where different ports are used. Which seems to be the issue here [02:07] yvear: yes, but omit if you used passwords [02:07] port is an option [02:08] bodhi_zazen: you can't use two different ports in one SCP operation. If both ports are the same then -P works fine [02:08] n-st, I've not seen any issues, just did an update/upgrade this evening. [02:08] port has to be the port on the server === ecube is now known as Guest45006 [02:08] [02:09] 22 by default [02:09] -P does not specify the client port [02:09] What are you guys talking about? yvear just do like i said up there and you will cp over the folder [02:09] ki7mt: 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] -P port [02:09] Specifies the port to connect to on the remote host. [02:10] … updated the gpg key (apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5), now i get "W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/main/source/Sources Hash Sum mismatch" instead [02:10] bodhi_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 ports [02:10] yvear: did it work? [02:11] someon, that makes no sense [02:11] [02:11] You both are wrong lol, the port on source dosnt matter in this case at all. [02:12] somsip: of course you can, i do it everyday. [02:12] Prezident: give an example [02:12] my remote server A uses port 32444 for ssh, remote server B uses port 37134 for ssh [02:12] Prezident, -P is the port on the server, not source or destination [02:12] bodhi_zazen: of course bodhi_zazen [02:12] yvear: 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/file [02:13] The destination port is stotally useless in this case. [02:13] Dunno why you even mention it? :P [02:13] yvear: 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 up [02:14] -P is always the listening port on the server and is an option in scp [02:14] oh ok tyvm, I want to get this right b/c I'm transferring 4.5tb [02:14] the client may or may not use the same port [02:14] He wanna copy a folder from A > B > scp -P 37134 /home/jtj/ren yver@serverBip:/source, i dont see the problem at all. [02:15] and add -r infront of dir [02:15] yvear: np. Although someone else did recommend using rysnc which seems like a good idea given the size of the file [02:15] s/file/directory [02:16] I would say problem solved. [02:16] Finally \m/ -_- \m/ .. Well it was 30 lines above anyway. [02:17] yvear: fwiw http://mike-hostetler.com/blog/2007/12/08/rsync-non-standard-ssh-port/ [02:19] While I try to figure out how to change the wifi channel (I have the channels analyzed; I have alternative channels picked out; I just can't get into the router. Typing the ip address of the router into the address bar on chrome, firefox, and ie is not working). [02:20] , is there anything else I can try?* === parsnip is now known as tokeroa [02:21] hey liszante can you ping the router? [02:21] You could try licking the screen but I doubt that would do any good [02:21] liszante: you are connected to the network but you has to fix dhcp it seems [02:21] check out /etc/conf.d/net [02:21] or just simply restart it [02:23] HansSanitizer I can ping the router, but I'm also on my chromebook. Desktop with ubuntu is sans internet at the moment. Prezident when you say 'restart it' I assume you mean the router? [02:24] might need to restart the router, unless you have already tried that [02:25] no lizante your wifi connection [02:26] How is it called under ifconfig -a? [02:26] wlan0? [02:26] Roommate is streaming the Stars game. I can restart the router when intermission starts. [02:26] All right. [02:26] Yes [02:26] Wait liszante [02:26] wlan0 [02:26] yeah, if other things are streaming I doubt it's the router [02:26] Whats the first thre numbers on your wlan0 [02:26] 192? [02:27] I'll be quiet, Prezident is asking all the questions I would ask anyway [02:28] Nah ask, its never good for an extra hand. [02:28] The internet is find for all other devices. ANd, Prezident, I don't see any numbers configured that way? Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 80:19:34~etc [02:28] No other numbers except MTU:1500 and a lot of zeroes [02:28] This when I did ifconfig -a [02:29] So you arent connected to your wifi even? [02:29] Do you have wired cable plugged in? [02:29] At the moment, no. It doesn't have any connection. And I don't have a cable. Different room from the router. Even if I had a cable, it wouldn't be long enough. [02:30] Aha [02:30] I can make a hotspot with my phone and see if it'll connect to that? [02:30] Do that and see if your computer finds the network. [02:30] I dont understand the problem really, i thought you was connected to your router and didnt have any internet connection [02:31] Now you not even connected to your router, do you find your network? [02:32] How you can connect to your router if you not connected to your network? [02:32] Thats a mystery man. [02:32] I'm using my chromebook. [02:32] Okey [02:32] It isn't picking up the network. It has also stopped noticing the networks upstairs. === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [02:33] ANd it found my phone [02:33] Alright. [02:33] Then its not hw failure [02:33] Then i dunno, might be router problem [02:33] And im not expert on routers, i let it over for someone other.

[02:39] anyone have those port 127.0.0.1:10031 open on your machine [02:40] Prolly thunderbird or another mail client [02:41] try /etc/init.d/policdy stop and you notice what happends, policudy using that port fishcooker [02:41] I dunno wich package you installed, but try that and you will see.

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 :) [02:45] The desktop is the issue, alas. Oh, I did the ifconfig thing again. I have an inet6 addr now under wlan0 [02:45] Still offline though [02:45] Great!

[02:46] Im unsure to be honest how you setup it from gui [02:47] Hey - I installed ubuntu 14.04 and installed the ams drivers soon as my PC goes to boot ubuntu my monitors turn off and show no signal [02:47] I have terminal open. [02:47] So I can't run any commands to work out what's happening or how to fix it [02:47] Aha then its a piece of cake, try sudo ifup wlan0 [02:47] k [02:47] !recovery | GandalfTheWhey [02:47] GandalfTheWhey: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [02:48] I can't somsip [02:48] GandalfTheWhey: what happens when you try? [02:48] Imagine your bios screen coming up and then it goes no signal [02:49] Immediately [02:49] So you don't even see ubuntu to begin with to do anything [02:49] Do you got a laptop GandalfTheWhey ?

[02:49] It works normally without the amd driver [02:50] GandalfTheWhey, drivers don't trigger until ubuntu starts. [02:50] I'll try that again when it can see my network again. So strange that other devices connect with full bars from my bedroom, but my new computer can barely see that the internet is there. I'll share any updates. Thanks again. [02:50] GandalfTheWhey: it might be the kernel bug unplug the vga/hdmi/dvi contact and plug in it again and see if it helps.

That's why I suggested recovery mode [02:51] Oksy I'll try tomorrow [02:51] I'm hoping it supports 1080p via vga for amd [02:51] Fedora had a ton of issues :/ [02:51] I could not even select the correct resolution [02:52] Thanks for all your help [02:52] Fedora?

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. [03:27] Links: [03:27] http://www.ubuntu.com/things#try-beaglebone [03:27] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/preview/ [03:27] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.10/release/ [03:28] julian2, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/daily/current/ [03:30] julian2, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/14.10/release/ [03:30] there are 32 bit images (i386) [03:30] Yes, I pasted those links, thanks, but I’m not sure that answers my question. [03:31] Are you saying that any platform that can run the latest Ubuntu Core can run Snappy? [03:32] I don't know smappy [03:32] !snappy [03:32] Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/ [03:32] if it pre-release the daily build may be unstable or may have failed === aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa is now known as abbbbbccccccccc [03:33] Thanks ubottu.

[03:36] bodhi_zazen See here: http://www.ubuntu.com/things [03:37] julian2, the size of the iso is the determinant here I would imagine; which eeepc is that one, the 2g or the 4g [03:38] bazhang 2GB RAM, but big hard drive.

I’ll check them out too. [03:46] julian2, is this going to be a complete wipe of the existing OS, dual boot, or running on top of the existing squashfs [03:46] presuming yours has that [03:48] bazhang, I assumed I was going to wipe the existing OS (Lubuntu). It has a large hard drive (160GB?) so space is not an issue. [03:50] julian2, 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) [03:52] Thanks.

[04:56] but keep the bytes prior to position Y [04:56] if you want to remove at a specific location, then doesn't the command i gave you earlier work? i dont think it would append [04:56] EriC^^:It doesn't remove the specified bytes [04:56] but much much more [04:56] oh you mean you want to remove them [04:56] you want to remove data? [04:57] oh ok [04:57] yes absolutely remove [04:57] not zeroing the data, but removing it from the file [04:57] can you even do that? [04:57] well I could write a small tool to do it [04:58] but I thought the already existing linux tools could be faster [04:58] who deals in absolutes [04:58] programs which require a file to be aligned [04:58] when I say aligned I mean so data could be read correctly from it [04:59] e.g file headers [04:59] firelegend: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Truncate_a_file I'd imagine python would be an easy one to use here [04:59] do you want to be my friend?

[05:25] these moron hackers invade private property [05:25] they think there is a government [05:25] it is a system of lies based on nameservers [05:25] Adam_: agreed; but more focus if you can please - this is a big channel [05:25] Adam_: right? [05:26] sure [05:26] 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. [05:28] tharkun_, sudo passwd root && sudo passwd -u root .. then to revert back: sudo passwd -l root .. however, be sure you know what your doing with the root account as it generally not advised to use it on a Sudo system.

[05:32] penguin1: Brand: Any Model: Whatever holds enough memory for the maximum amount of users that at any given point in time will use the server. [05:32] the will of the LORD [05:33] penguin1, 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] Why I recomend that, because brand an model are irrelevant for your purpose. You can host 800 users on a vps if you feel like it. [05:33] Adam_, COMMANDS YOU TO DIE [05:33] Adam_: could you not proselytize on this channel? this is a support channel for Ubuntu, not your pulpit [05:33] * cluelessperson forgets the movie source. [05:34] I had a question about ubuntu. [05:34] ki7mt: 4GB Ram and a quadcore with postfix and dovecot should suffice for 800 users? or am I beeing too optimistic? [05:34] About the 3GB + of phantom data. [05:34] ask [05:34] Is it in the scroll logs there? [05:35] tharkun_, 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] The machine generated about 3GB or more of data dumped it to swap then purged the swap. [05:36] All the while runing about 30% cpu usage on a dual processor and switching processors . [05:36] The process list showed no processes using this. [05:36] So that leaves kernel. [05:36] The kernel itself is running this what for? [05:37] And why does the kernel say things like "you don't exist go away" [05:37] cluelessperson, with that sort of behaviour going on it is possible [05:37] I must protect Adam [05:39] so is it badon kernel?

[06:03] hi, is there any way to setup custom partitions with an encrypted lvm in 14.04 server during installation? [06:03] that is, from within the gui [06:03] ki7mt: but it shouldn't throw up a bazillion errors and not boot - like windows would if you tried something similar [06:04] rpp601, more than likely you'll get through a boot process unless the hardware is totally different. [06:04] ki7mt: currently, i'm doing this already but with a live version - i'm hoping for a bit of a speed increase by isntalling it [06:05] rpp601, If your devices are supported by the kernel, for the most part, you should be ok. [06:05] ki7mt: cool i'll try it, worst case i just wipe it and put the live version back on it. [06:06] rpp601, Yup, there's no harm in trying it out. It's cheap and easy to try. [06:07] vindex, 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.

[06:15] guess nobody knows :( [06:16] Kelli, Im not an EFI guru, but can't you use the efibootmgr and set the boot order to boot Windows first?

We have a kiosk based software, it previously ran on OSX, and with teamviewer we could check the online-status, and offer remote support. [07:12] jac0bz1: why isn't teamviewer a usuable solution for you with the new setup? [07:15] vindex: fdisk should be there, but that's not going to solve the problem of not being able to modify something that's mounted.

Is there a way to prevent TeamViewers "Computers & Contacts" not poping up in front of every other applications on boot? I've set TV to start minimized [09:01] vlt: my old laptop did the trick. so I assume something with supported formats / codex [09:04] TJ- well, oddly enough, I can't su to the user. The user is inside /etc/passwd. [09:05] TJ- ofc, it's a service account, so I'll just attach a bash to try starting it that way. [09:07] TJ-, allrigt - it seems that the issue actually is that service won't start at the service doesn't have permission to create the log files. I thought the service script would fix this.

[13:26] but my Administration console works for Subversion Edge [13:26] is it possible to assign to the same interface two ip address? [13:26] mazzy, ask #networking [13:26] mazzy: yes and no [13:27] mazzy: you can't have two IP on eth0 but you could have one on eth0:1 and one on eth0:2 [13:27] i was able to ping my host name ..

[13:40] any one else got this error while trying to launch vmware http://postimg.org/image/s5o2nklnz/ [13:41] blackangelpr, vmware? the error references virtualbox [13:42] yes virtual box ^^ [13:42] jayesh92: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [13:42] blackangelpr, as the error msg states: run the command to repair [13:43] cfhowlett, do not work i think since i got the latest kernel that might the cause do you know if i could roll back ? sadly the newest kernel works lots better for my ati video card === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [13:44] blackangelpr, test it? [13:45] the command itself will most likelay not help [13:45] cfhowlett, yes i did [13:45] blackangelpr, did it work? [13:45] nop [13:46] blackangelpr: search for thre matching mkod-package for your kernel [13:46] thanks fidel_ will try [13:46] *kmod-Virtualbox-KERNEL-VERSION... [13:46] at least thats how i have to handle this error on fedora [13:47] after each kernel update ;/ [13:47] appreciated hope one day kernel upgrades would be default ehhehe :) [13:49] jayesh92: are you sure you know what you want when you request libsystemd for 14.04? [13:49] Does Ubuntu support VGA? [13:49] k1l: Its a dependency for building gnome apps [13:49] GandalfTheWhey: of course [13:50] how may kernel upgrades not be "default"? how may any upgrades of essential parts of the system not be "default", anyway? [13:50] k1l: The page you linked doesn't shows about installation [13:50] jayesh92: you know about the upstart vs systemd controversy and the target for 16.04 to be systemd as standard init? [13:50] k1l: I am trying to work out why my R9 270x wont work. I am using a DVI to VGA converter. [13:50] k1l: no [13:51] GandalfTheWhey: uh, converters are known to be difficult [13:51] k1l: Just looking around it seems a lot of people don't have issues [13:51] jayesh92: ubuntu uses upstart now and is working on implementing systemd to be standard in 16.04. so no libsystemd in 14.04 [13:52] k1l: can't i get the dev version also ? [13:52] hello [13:52] k1l: or, what alternatives are there [13:52] jayesh92: i think you dont understand what a complex task it is to change the init system of ubuntu [13:53] none [13:53] jayesh92: better see if the program you want can be build for ubuntu [13:53] how do i fix a corrupt kernel [13:53] k1l: I'm building gnome-music app [13:53] wwow [13:53] k1l: using jhbuild [13:53] #ubuntu.tr [13:53] what is jhbuild [13:53] svetlana, 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 got [13:54] !kernel | anna_ [13:54] anna_: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [13:54] GandalfTheWhey: well. if you think you know the only and right answer is there even a sense if you ask at all? [13:54] y ipod is smashed! [13:54] k1l: I do not think it is the converter though [13:54] anna_, not an ubuntu issue. stay on topic or go to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:54] jayesh92: is this even an ubuntu issue? [13:54] k1l: I can use it on my internal graphics card and it works with no problems [13:55] what comverter? [13:55] hello word :) debian-live-7.8.0-i386-gnome-desktop password? [13:55] netuser: ask #debian :) [13:55] anybody ot a raspberry pi? [13:55] ok [13:56] hi [13:56] GandalfTheWhey: if the video card or the video driver on the amd card got issues with that converter that is not helping if it works on the intel, right? [13:56] !behelpful | anna_, [13:56] anna_,: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [13:56] wats up [13:57] what is the best app for website coding ? [13:57] html, css and js in one IDE [13:57] There is no best. Define your needs and try a few. [13:57] abator, "best" is subject. the "best" coders just use a terminal. search the software center for your tools [13:58] abator: Narrow it down to a specific set of features you need. Narrow down your preferences. /Then/ ask here, specifying the IDE you like, and what features you would like to see. [13:58] i need help to find out which IDE will be best for coding needs of html, css, js and php [13:58] None is best. [13:58] k1l: yeh [13:58] abator, "best" is the one you use and know. install a few, test and choose for yourself. [13:58] none? really? [13:58] Yes. [13:59] My definition of best includes it being able to make funny noises when something works, for example. I script that. -- No other person on the planet ever needs such feature. [13:59] Therefore the only way for you to find out is by trying a few. [13:59] i asked just because you guys are very much involved in these kind of things, so i think you can suggest better [13:59] abator: there are several replies above - read em ;) [14:00] there is no "best" [14:00] abator, suggestion: stop insisting there is a "best". install some tools, do your OWN testing, choose your OWN tools. [14:01] Ok, i got the idea. i have to start digging blindly [14:01] personaly i keep it simple and use a texteditor - others do like netbeans ...

[14:15] choki: but I'd suggest trying ncftp .... -p '!password' [14:17] hey guys I'm gonna ask some noob questions. I just installed Ubuntu for the first time last night [14:17] What is the command to detect new hot swapped drives? [14:18] It looks like YouTube is telling me I'm missing a plugin in Firefox. Do I need to install flash player? [14:18] !flashplugin-installer | Drummy [14:18] !info flashplugin-installer | Drummy [14:18] Drummy, or install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:18] Drummy: flashplugin-installer (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 11.2.202.442ubuntu0.14.10.1 (utopic), package size 7 kB, installed size 137 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [14:19] okay cool thanks [14:21] Drummy: 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] (or gnash, if you'd like to use it in your web browser, is a free implementation of flash) [14:22] Drummy: ...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 flash [14:22] Chrome or Chromium? [14:23] That makes sense though, maybe I won't mess with getting flash to work in FF [14:24] Drummy: 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 when [14:24] !ty | somsip [14:24] somsip: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [14:24] :D [14:24] choki: it worked? [14:25] somsip: yes but obviously i get a timeout now, idk why xD [14:25] choki: can't help there, though it could be related. Server logs is the next step I guess [14:25] odd I thought youtube had officially migrated to html5 and droped flash [14:25] err dropped [14:28] whenever I log in i get a prompt that says I need to update certain software, and it says some of the packages are untrusted, I say ok, input password and it doesn't install them [14:29] one update of which if for the chromium browser which I uninstalled, I reinstalled it to see if that would work but it did not unfortuntely [14:29] i'm running ubuntu trusty 14.04 === PeppoTux is now known as Peppo`Away [14:29] get [14:30] hfound, i used Y ppa manager to fix that [14:30] somsip: thank you sir, works now! weird with single quotes it works but not with double (i prefer double xD) [14:30] hfound, on advance there is a option for the gpg keys [14:31] hfound, if you run 'Software Updater' (update-manager), it should refresh the list of packages and resolve issues with keys. [14:31] choki: double expands the contents of variables and other special chars [14:31] hggdh, https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/y-ppa-manager simosx it also happened to me and did not help :p [14:32] hfound, if you added other repositories, you may have forgotten to add the corresponding GPG keys. [14:33] Another noob question: What would you recommend to manage workspaces and specific app rules? [14:34] blackangelpr, 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'. === eblip is now known as eb0t [14:34] simosx, harder when you got lots of stuff going on and if they are asking here mostly that is the most easiest way [14:34] Drummy, what do you mean by workspaces and app rules? [14:35] rules to designate what workspace certain apps will open in, what size the window will be, etc. [14:36] Your desktop environment is responsible for workspaces I think. [14:36] blackangelpr, indeed, a GUI tool is the best. [14:36] Drummy, you use Unity 7 or something else? [14:37] I'm not sure, I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 [14:38] O.O It should have a good "Help" button which says what it is. [14:38] Drummy, so it's Unity 7. As svetlana said, the desktop environment does the placement. [14:39] Drummy, it is possible for a desktop environment to offer such features, however I do not think that Unity 7 at the moment offers it. === andrex|off is now known as andrex [14:40] Drummy, if you really need such things, you might want to experiment with other desktop environments, like http://awesome.naquadah.org/ [14:41] hi. 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 list [14:41] Drummy, 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] Drummy: WHS - there are many tiling WMs but I use awesome and having apps pinned to different screens on different monitor is great for me [14:42] nuke1989, 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. [14:43] okay. So maybe I'm looking for a window manager then [14:43] simosx, its a VM so i cant use GUI [14:44] Drummy, it's possible to install, for example, 'awesome' on Ubuntu 14.04 and then, while logging in, to select that instead of standard Ubuntu. [14:45] So Unity is my current WM [14:47] well, Unity is the Desktop Environment, and it is also my current WM [14:47] do I have that right? [14:47] Drummy, click on the gear at the top-right of your screen, then click on 'About this computer'. It should tell you all these details. [14:49] nuke1989, even with VM, it's possible to try a GUI. It depends on what access rights you have on the VM. [14:49] nuke1989, but still, if you are doing sysadm, you might have to go the CLI way (type the commands). [14:50] simosx, actually i found this cat file_with_ips | xargs -n1 iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s [14:51] nuke1989: do they vary a lot or do you have ranges of IPs to block? [14:51] nuke1989, the 'iptables' command would be the same for all those IPs. So, indeed that command helps. [14:51] they vary a lot [14:51] ok thanks. i think this should work.... [14:51] nuke1989: fair enough. I routinely block broad swathes of..well...china usually. Just thought I'd check [14:51] hey, anyone have any ideas about this issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/1382707 -- How would one do a non interactive do-release-upgrade to utopic? [14:52] Launchpad bug 1382707 in update-manager-core (Ubuntu) "trusty->utopic non-interactive upgrade outputs garbage, and is interactive" [Undecided,Confirmed] === Administrator is now known as Guest54429 [14:55] hackeron, it's the ' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.' changes that cause the problem. There should be an option to accept the default even at those. [14:57] hackeron, 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). [14:58] Hi [14:58] is that possible that i can use my office 360 mail accout in SVN notification server [14:58] I was just wondering, is there a way I could have 2 ssh servers in the same lan ? [14:58] simosx: having a look, I can see DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive - but that is what I am using already? [14:58] transmission [14:59] Myrkur: What do you mean by SSH server? Any machine you like can run an sshd [14:59] yes hateball [15:00] I have 2 servers that I'd like to access to [15:00] For now I first log in the one who has a port forwarding then log in the second one, since they're in the same network [15:00] Myrkur: So you're talking from WAN -> LAN ? [15:01] hackeron, check the end of the file. [15:01] Myrkur: Have the hosts run sshd run on different ports (not 22) and forward setup NAT accordingly [15:01] yep hateball [15:02] Myrkur: so WAN.ip:ZYX -> host1:ZYX, and WAN.ip:XYZ goes to host2:XYZ [15:02] simosx: [NonInteractive] [15:02] ForceOverwrite=yes [15:02] would it work ? i haerd it could be dangerous to use ports above 1024 [15:03] simosx: so it should be overwriting but it isn't :( [15:03] yeah ok hateball [15:03] thx [15:03] simosx: if I run ps aux, it's actually stuck on running: /usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --force-overwrite --status-fd 70 --configure ... [15:04] simosx: 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 any [15:06] hello ubuntu [15:06] :) [15:06] Hey - How do I get 1080p on the Intel HD 4000? I can only get 1024x768 [15:07] GandalfTheWhey, did you install the intel drivers? [15:07] Myrkur, 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] cfhowlett: oh? I did not know they existed. [15:07] GandalfTheWhey, yep. wait 1 [15:08] GandalfTheWhey: install intel driver? hmm no they are included [15:08] in ubuntu [15:08] tomodachi: Where do I get them? [15:08] tomodachi, false for 14.04 [15:08] GandalfTheWhey, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-installer-linux-1.0.7 [15:09] simosx: any ideas? [15:09] Thanks cfhowlett :D I will try that. [15:09] GandalfTheWhey: cfhowlett hmm i not so sure thats is a good solution [15:09] GandalfTheWhey, happy2help [15:09] tomodachi, please explain [15:10] intel drivers are packed and shipped with the distribution and tested by ubuntu [15:10] cfhowlett: Do I need to restart? [15:10] hello cfhowlett =) [15:10] if you want more bleeding edge drivers you can try one of the ppa:s [15:10] tomodachi, not so with 14.04. I installed the drivers and got immediate improvement. [15:10] !hi | cfhowlett [15:10] choki, greetings [15:10] but installing directly from some .deb file of the internet is bound to break in an upgrade [15:10] !ty | cfhowlett [15:10] cfhowlett: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [15:10] xD [15:10] !hello | cfhowlett [15:11] damn [15:11] GandalfTheWhey, follow the script from the .deb. I seem to recall a reboot is part of the process [15:11] ubottu: do u know phrik? [15:11] choki: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:11] cfhowlett: i dont believe your way of giving help to noobs is proper , [15:11] xD [15:11] hackeron, 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] Drummy: poor you [15:11] since this means problems further down the road [15:11] nuke1989: you can with VNC [15:12] tomodachi, 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] Nope does not work [15:12] simosx: any ideas how to dig deeper? - I can reproduce this on all my servers running trusty [15:12] I 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 1080p [15:13] GandalfTheWhey, look in your tools and start the intel installer [15:13] hackeron, use 'strace' to see what files are being opened. You need to verify that the command is reading the right config file. [15:13] cfhowlett: I did. It installed [15:13] Ubuntu Software Centre installed it [15:14] GandalfTheWhey, does your display support 1080p? These are done now automatically. [15:14] annabel_: huh? [15:14] GandalfTheWhey, 2 part process. first the installer installs, then start the installer to get the drivers [15:14] oh okay [15:15] guys, I'm having troubles getting an init.d script to start on boot === lobo is now known as Guest92945 [15:15] when i run sudo service name start, it works fine [15:15] it does not run on boot however [15:15] tomodachi: what problems? [15:15] I have set +x on defaults and on the init.d/ file. I did update-rc too. [15:15] simosx: 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] Could somebody provide some debugging assitance? To solve it, please? :) [15:16] Drummy: ignore me i am feeling despondent, sorry [15:16] hackeron, there were two --force-overwrite options in the command line. Perhaps being two, cancels them out?

[22:12] because 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 iso [22:12] mike123: i believe they have a web client to connect here [22:12] irc.freenode.net #ubuntu [22:12] here to this channel? === mhenrixon|afk is now known as mhenrixon [22:12] use webchat.freenode.net website, #ubuntu channel name [22:13] I'm confused at why a custom upstart script is freaking out on me.

[22:19] i was kinda waiting until i had one of you guys before i did anything to make sure i didnt screw up [22:20] well, my old fix was to run the old alternate cds [22:20] i too have a server that doesnt like the GUI style install [22:20] ok 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] the text installer worked great [22:20] but Ben64 said the alt iso's are no longer around, and to try out the mini iso [22:21] so i wont be much of assistance with the installation as my "fix" is no longer [22:21] i 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] well 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" needs [22:21] Mike321: ah so you're installing a window manager? [22:21] like unity or gnome [22:22] im installing the desktop release not server release [22:22] #clonezilla [22:22] sorry stupid keyboard [22:22] you could try burning the server ISO, and install the desktop enviornment afterwards [22:23] the latest 14.04 ISO worked on the same server i had issues with previously, that needed the alternate ISO to get going [22:23] tried that. server addition will install to command prompt but after "sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop they cease to function [22:24] whoa [22:24] that's a bit odd [22:24] yea. [22:24] go ahead and boot off the 14.04 CD [22:24] define "cease to function" [22:24] it should _really_ just work too [22:25] usually does [22:25] svetlana when it reboots its black screen only. [22:25] Mike321: did you try nomodeset in the kernel line? [22:25] booting to disc now [22:25] sounds like a graphics driver issue [22:25] Mike321: so you need to install a video driver after you installed ubuntu? [22:26] or use nomodeset kernel parameter [22:26] i have no clue whats needed as i cant see anything and arent a pro [22:26] booting to 14.04 iso now [22:26] Mike321: im not a pro either, thats why i was letting them take over lol [22:26] Guys is there a way to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu remotely? [22:26] Mike321: what video card is it exactly? === fred_ is now known as Guest93796 [22:27] its an nvidia is all i know [22:27] start the live cd and show a "lspci" from the temrinal in a pastebin [22:28] * omgitsmit popcorn.jpg [22:28] ok when the computer boots from disc it boots directly to a blank screen [22:28] Mike321: did you get the boot menu at all? [22:28] nope [22:28] blank screen [22:29] and just making sure, you are booting from cd right? [22:29] #erlang [22:29] (stupid question, i know) [22:29] correct [22:29] and the media is known to be good? [22:29] you've installed other systems with it? [22:30] checksum the iso before burning to make sure it wasnt corrupt? [22:30] that is a no. hence why i have burnt so many copies [22:30] hmm [22:30] downlaoded directly from ubuntu [22:30] still have the iso handy? you could checksum it really quick to see if thats your problem [22:31] just shut it down and restarted same thing [22:31] How do I transfer (as in cut and paste) music from a Windows 7 computer to a linux computer that are both on the same wireless network? [22:31] i had a system with a bad ISO that would install perfectly, but wouldnt boot up afterwards [22:31] R13ose: share the music folder from the Win7 computer and browse to it from the Ubuntu box [22:31] the little "ubuntu disc guy" symbol pops up at the bottom but then goes to black screen [22:32] i know ben64 said it would be a longer process but would i be better off just upgrading distro [22:32] whoa guy [22:32] don [22:32] 't say that in front of him [22:32] * omgitsmit ducks [22:32] well if none of the iso files will work..... [22:32] !nomodeset | Mike321 [22:32] Mike321: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:33] even after you upgrade to the latest release, you're still going to have to figure out that wireles issue :) [22:33] but at least ill be a step closer [22:33] Hi people, I'm following this guide to install ATI propietary drivers < https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD > and on point 2.1 it says to make a backup of xorg.conf file, but I dont have it. Im running the lates Ubuntu Gnome release ATM [22:33] Mike321: the nomodeset is probably the solution [22:33] Could anyone point me in the right direction here? [22:33] Webflashing: you cannot locate the xorg.conf file to back it up? [22:34] omgitsmit: exactly [22:34] Webflashing: ubuntu doesn't use xorg.conf by default [22:34] Webflashing: don't worry about it -- xorg.conf isn't needed if the defaults work fine. backing it up is not necessary then. [22:34] ok omgitsmit give me a sec to read the link [22:34] The current opensource driver is not working right for me so I wanted to install the propietary ones as per the link sugests [22:34] So I just dont mind the backup thingy? [22:34] Webflashing: just sudo apt-get install fglrx or fglrx-updates [22:35] alright, thanks! [22:35] no problem [22:35] Mike321: did you press a button when the ubuntu disc gux symbol pops up? [22:35] Webflashing: By default there is no initial xorg.conf file, Is there a over-riding reason you must resort to OEM for a driver ? (means of last resort) . [22:35] yes repeatedly with no respone from the box [22:36] Bashing-om: Well, this was working fine really, but when tried to tinker with some games the lack of hardware acceleration makes it impossible [22:36] Mike321: if its a graphics issue, doing an upgrade from 10.04 will probably result in another blank screen after reboot === tobias__ is now known as Tg1 [22:36] Mike321: hold shift while the live usb boots to get grub, press e over the ubuntu entry, add nomodet set to the line with Linux vmlinuz ... quiet splash and press ctrl+x to execute it [22:36] *nomodeset [22:37] Webflashing: Hardware limitation ? what card is installed ? -> lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA <- . [22:37] Bashing-om: I have a Radeon Hd 5770 [22:38] 5750 here :) [22:38] Im a game developer, and the project I'm working on I have no problem running it at 60fps, but cant get more than 15fps on Ubuntu with the open source drivers [22:38] opensource drivers dont work with mine at all [22:38] *at 60fps on windows [22:38] ok guys i just tried one of my other iso discs for 14.04 it is at the install screen. how do i do this nomodeset thing from here? [22:39] i get 60fps with mine, no problem - im running the latest restricted drivers [22:39] tried holding shift eric and it came here [22:39] omgitsmit: I went to browse network and clicked on windows network in Ubuntu and got the message: "Unable to mount location. Failed to retrieve share list from server" Also on Windows 7, I can see any other homegroup computers. [22:39] Mike321: press E to edit the line [22:39] Mike321: what do you mean at the install screen? [22:39] omgitsmit: those are the ones installed with sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle ? [22:39] Mike321: is it an ubuntu-desktop iso? [22:39] R13ose: do you know the hostname of the windows computer? [22:39] it says try without installing, install check disk test memory boot from first hard disk [22:40] Webflashing: i used the GUI :( [22:40] im guessing those are the packages though [22:40] Mike321: the Grub menu is just beofre the menu you're seeing right now [22:40] and yes it is desktop [22:41] Mike321: reboot again, holding down the key [22:41] omgitsmit: those are the uhm, Additional Drivers manager UI? [22:41] Webflashing: yes [22:41] ok doing so now [22:41] Webflashing: i just let that handle it [22:41] Mike321: press f6 when you get the try ubuntu check memory etc. and select nomodeset [22:41] then press try ubuntu to boot it [22:42] omgitsmit: sorry to bother you with this. It gives me 3 options. Using X.Org X Server, the one from fglrx-updates and the one from fglrx [22:42] EriC^^: is that menu a grub menu? i never knew [22:42] its so fancy [22:42] ok holding shift brought "boot" with a flashing cursor up on the screen but switched to the previous screen with install options immediately [22:42] nope it's a menu before booting, yeah it is :D [22:42] ok pressed f6 now what? [22:42] Webflashing: updates [22:42] Webflashing: whatever the latest release is [22:42] Mike321: did you get a screen to the right with options? [22:43] clicked nomodeset and an x pops up beside it [22:43] omgitsmit: yes I see the hostname [22:43] Mike321: ok, press try ubuntu [22:43] ok [22:43] R13ose: you can try to browse to that machine from ubuntu by typing smb:// in the file browser window (nautilus still?) [22:44] its booting up now [22:44] R13ose: SMB is short for Samba, which is what windows folder shares use [22:44] omgitsmit: I think I am in, let me do a few things [22:44] handle it [22:45] omgitsmit: thanks, I am in :D [22:45] yay [22:45] Share all the music \o/ [22:45] omgitsmit: I am in the music folder :D [22:45] eric [22:46] R13ose: you may need additional codecs on that ubuntu box to play the music [22:46] can ubuntu use both the integrated intel gpu & a discrete gpu simultaneously [22:46] doomlord_1: i think its one or the other, my laptop i have to actually reboot completely to switch chipsets :( [22:46] I cant install libgd-dev in 14.10 [22:46] it gave me the ubuntu 14.04 with the little dots beneath it which moved for a while then went to black screen [22:46] how do i direct a message at a user? [22:47] it needs libvpx-dev which needs libvpx1 of version 1.3.0-2.1, but 1.3.0-3~trusty should be installed [22:47] start typing the name, then hit TAB to auto complete the username [22:47] and version dependency is = one not a => one [22:47] Mike321: does ctrl+alt+f1 bring up a tty? [22:47] Mike321: type part of his/her nickname and press [22:47] EriC^^: good call, forgot this was desktop ISO [22:47] EriC^^: yes [22:48] omgitsmit: okay, I will look into that. [22:48] R13ose: i think the package is called restricted-extras or something [22:48] Mike321: ok, you could try acpi=off as a kernel line parameter and see if it works [22:48] Mike321: otherwise i'd just see which driver works with your graphics card and install it after installing ubuntu [22:48] est31: what is: apt-cache policy libvpx1; [22:48] Mike321: type lspci | grep VGA to get it [22:49] EriC^^: dumb question but how do i get the vertical line symbol? [22:49] *** 1.3.0-3~trusty 0 and there is also an entry with 1.3.0-2.1 0 pointing to 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/main amd64 Packages [22:50] it's above enter [22:50] on my keyboard is the \ key if i dont hit shift [22:51] !paste | est31 put that output there [22:51] est31 put that output there: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

After rebooting, I got stuck at the grey ubuntu desktop pattern without mouse, without anything. I had to WIN+L to lock screen and THEN I was able to log into my account. And as soon as I managed to get to the desktop, 2 System Error popups appeared, one from nautilus and the seconds one didnt say === ricardo is now known as Guest89727 [22:59] http://pastebin.com/Ki0GyaFY can anyone help me identify the touchscreen digitizer on computer? that pastebin is lspci and lsusb... [22:59] EriC^^: ok so its installing the nvidia drivers from the command you gave me as we speak === Guest89727 is now known as rdomingues [22:59] Mike321: nevermind that, i dont know how to restart the gui [23:00] EriC^^: ok so what is it you want me to do? restart, install ubuntu? once i click install it all goes black, thats when you want me to ctrl+alt+f1? [23:01] oh, right [23:01] is the server edition installed right now? [23:01] Mike321: you could install using a minimalcd if you wanted a text install [23:01] to install ubuntu-desktop [23:02] it will install most of the stuff from the internet though [23:02] EriC^^: give me a sec. i have an idea [23:02] since my updater seems to be messing up, should I go this route? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades#Upgrading_Using_the_Alternate_CD.2BAC8-DVD [23:02] boa noite [23:03] !pt | rdomingues [23:03] rdomingues: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[23:03] ok [23:05] Webflashing: sorry was away from my desk [23:05] Webflashing: those two errors, what crashed? [23:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10298143/ [23:06] k1l_, that [23:06] omgitsmit: the first one was nautilus, have been getting that error for a while, but the second one wouldnt say. [23:06] AegNuddel: ok. there is the reason why you have such issues: some repos were set to 10.10 "jaunty" and that spoils the system [23:06] postfix 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] Im gonna reboot now so I can see if I can get a error log of some sort [23:06] Any idea how to configure postfix so that it can send emails? [23:06] Webflashing: i get errors also [23:07] k1l_, i did not do that on purpose [23:07] omgitsmit: the most upsetting one is that I have to lock the computer before being able to interact with any gui whatsoever [23:07] EriC^^: 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 screen [23:07] Webflashing: yeah that makes no sense to be [23:07] me* [23:07] http://pastebin.com/Ki0GyaFY can anyone help me identify the touchscreen digitizer on computer? that pastebin is lspci and lsusb... [23:07] k1l_, since I downloaded the iso can I go that route? [23:07] omgitsmit: you too have this problem? [23:08] AegNuddel: no. lets fix that and do the regular upgrade [23:08] Mike321: anything you do in the live usb is not persistent across reboots unless persistence is enabled [23:08] EriC^^: i should mention that 10.04 is currently installed and running on this machine with no problem. is there anything i can do from there that will help [23:08] ok [23:08] What do I do [23:08] Webflashing: no, but i do get a crash report whenever i log in [23:08] ? [23:08] Mike321: you can check which graphics driver you're using [23:08] Webflashing: naut crashes, but i thought it was from all my custom stuff [23:08] omgitsmit: I see, im gonna see what can I figure out about it and get back to ya [23:09] good luck [23:09] EriC^^: ok give me a sec to boot to the os [23:09] what is the correct way to set a custom PATH for upstart scripts? [23:09] Mike321: is the server installation still there? you could test out the graphics driver with it [23:09] 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] AegNuddel: then "ctrl+o" for saving. then"ctrl+x" for leaving. [23:09] EriC^^: wait im not doing a server install. im doing 14.04 desktop [23:10] EriC^^: im booted into the 10.04 desktop os now. [23:10] i know, but you said you installed the server then the ubuntu-desktop package earlier [23:10] ok, type lshw -C video | grep driver [23:10] and dpkg -l | grep nvidia [23:10] Webflashing: Consider a conflict in drivers.

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 alternativ [23:17] es.

[23:26] Whiskey: try pkill ^Old- [23:26] yeh i know :D [23:26] lemme get some whiskey [23:26] just tell whats happen :D [23:26] [00:16:57] whiskey@whiskey:~$ killall Old-* [23:26] Old-*: no process found [23:26] haha [23:27] ^ <--- is start its regexp i know :D [23:27] i need to set a refresh rate when x starts.. where should i do this? [23:27] Whiskey: calm down :P [23:28] Hello? [23:28] pkill ^Old-and pkill ^Old-* don´t do a shit [23:28] Whiskey: no need for obscenities, and pkill ^Old- should work [23:28] ps -ef grep Old don´t do anything [23:28] Whiskey: /nick sober please [23:28] well its don´t kill it [23:29] and let's try this again [23:29] Whiskey: "ps -ef | grep -i old" [23:29] Whiskey, there is a | before the grep, I mistyped ... the command ps -ef | grep Old [23:29] thas not got [23:29] k1l_: thats get NewOld also [23:29] maybe [23:29] guys, when installing something on ubuntu via ssh. It prompts with pink or blue screen in Terminal What was the name of that package? As i am missing it and its hard to install something [23:30] Whiskey: well, then there are no processes you could kill anyway [23:30] has anyone ever used/configured/is using xrandr? [23:30] naaa [23:30] wooooo looks like my UnrealIRCd make is finally working :D [23:30] ps -ef | grep -i ^old" <--- won´t work [23:30] nobody knows? [23:30] Whiskey: eihter you give exact and real informations or you join the chatter channel for your chitchat. [23:30] I am excite [23:30] fuck off you think im stupid :D [23:31] oh dear god... now I have to go and config the thing [23:31] well... gotta write the config file for the server anyway [23:31] hmm [23:31] thats what not liked :D [23:31] !language [23:31] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:31] psiodrake: well yes, running a ircd could be an security issue. and running irc clients as root, too [23:31] i find a problem [23:31] :) [23:32] EriC^^ dpkg -l | grep nvidia [23:32] ii nvidia-173-modaliases 173.14.22-0ubuntu11 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive [23:32] ii nvidia-96-modaliases 96.43.17-0ubuntu1.1 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive [23:32] ii nvidia-common 0.2.23 Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers [23:32] ii nvidia-current 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.3 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and [23:32] ii nvidia-current-modaliases 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04.1 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive [23:32] mike123: please use paste.ubuntu.com [23:32] k1l_: does it make any difference that this box is running as a vpc on my windows pc and that there's almost nothing of value on here? [23:32] the programs are not as i thinked them was :/ [23:33] its program-NewOld or prgraom-Old [23:33] psiodrake: not if the cops knock o your door because your "server" is used for illegal stuff [23:33] and i only have to kill the *-Old [23:33] EriC^^: so now what? [23:33] anyone have a touchscreen running ubuntu? [23:33] psiodrake: if you're going to be doing anything, why not do it the proper way? [23:33] k1l_: I have no dns set up for the server, I don't even have a static ip [23:33] I'm just learning [23:33] ever configuring automatic screen orientation? [23:33] Mike321: it looks like you're using the nvidia-195 driver [23:34] Whiskey, you want to remove program-Old* [23:34] psiodrake: so why wouldn't you want to learn how to do things correctly [23:34] Yeh [23:34] getting myself comfortable with linux since I started using PCs 20 years ago with Windows [23:34] Mike321: with some remnants of the nvidia-173 driver, so if nvidia-195 doesn't work that might work i guess [23:34] ps -ef | grep -i *-Old <-- don´t match anything [23:34] Whiskey, killall program-Old* [23:34] Mike321: install using a minimalcd, then install the drivers [23:34] Whiskey: no need for "*" when using grep. [23:34] Ben64: well the first step in that is knowing what the right way is exactly... and I don't [23:35] EriC^^: ok [23:35] although my dad does have some rather large books... [23:35] Whiskey: "ps -ef | grep -i old" [23:35] think they're specific to debian though [23:35] psiodrake: you seem to be responding to a lot of concerns with "it doesn't matter" [23:35] How can i make prompt look like this? http://www.raspipress.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/phpmyadmin-installation-config.jpg [23:35] Currently its black and hard to read :/ [23:36] EriC^^: downloading the minimal now. anything special i need to do? never done a minimal before [23:36] jeus :D [23:36] Mike321: nah i dont think so [23:36] damn [23:37] [2015-02-19] [00:35:05] »» [k1l_] Whiskey: "ps -ef | grep -i old" <--- still give "Program-NewOld" and "Program-Old" i just need "Program-Old" [23:37] how hard is it to run a simple xrandr to set my resolution automatically? [23:37] ciwolsey: very easy [23:37] ive tried ~/.xprofile and ~/.xinitrc [23:37] neither having any effect [23:37] ciwolsey: you could put it in ~/.profile [23:37] Ben64: I don't know what to tell you... [23:37] Whiskey: the ps -ef | grep command is just for us to see what you actually want to kill there. it doesnt kill anything [23:37] volcko__: Might want to check out http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x329.html [23:38] it would still run when you run login shells, but it would work [23:38] yeah i dont want to be setting modes every time i open a shell though [23:38] just login shells [23:38] either [23:38] k1l_: I got that mutch but it still match *-NewOld [23:39] Whiskey: yes. [23:39] any more ideas? [23:39] ciwolsey: maybe ~/.config/autostart ? [23:39] Whiskey, you can exclude using grep -v New [23:39] ciwolsey: why can't you set the display normally through the settings [23:40] EriC^^, ill try that i guess [23:40] Ben64, nvidia-settings ? [23:40] if you have nvidia, sure [23:40] i do.. but i have to do it every time x starts [23:40] pavlos: how do you do this exacty?= [23:40] pavlos: how do you do this exactly?= [23:40] every time i start x the refresh rate goes back to 60 [23:40] yeah that'd be best, shouldn't there be a xorg.conf you can edit ? [23:40] ciwolsey: you can have it make an xorg.conf [23:40] i have.. [23:41] ciwolsey: how do you start x? [23:41] Whiskey, ps -ef | grep Old | grep -v New [23:41] i dont know? it starts automatically === Guest64 is now known as Appl3Kork [23:41] ciwolsey: ok, so regular ubuntu setup. starting lightdm. [23:41] its ubuntu-gnome [23:41] so its gdm [23:42] ciwolsey: what about you set it in nvidia settings and let it save to a xorg.conf? [23:42] pretty sure thats what ive done [23:42] click that button that says save [23:42] haha [23:42] but its like its not writing the refresh rate or something [23:42] it miss one :D [23:42] wtf [23:43] ciwolsey: does it actually save though [23:43] bye [23:43] Ben64, what ill try is saving it to ~/blah.conf [23:43] if you're running nvidia-settings normally it doesn't have access to write to /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:43] then ill copy blah.conf over the conf in /etc [23:43] yeah i know that [23:43] even when i run as root the refresh isnt kept but let me try it again just to make sure [23:43] Have to find out what it is :D pavlos: it was good anyway :D [23:44] hey 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] Whiskey, man grep is a good read [23:45] rpp601: use grep [23:46] Ben64, this is the output from nvidia-settings: https://gist.github.com/ciwolsey/60f40df4d838964d34ef [23:46] does it look right? [23:46] k1l_: can you give me a quick example? i've used grep but not in this context [23:46] grep file | string ? [23:47] Ben64, then i did sudo cp xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:47] rpp601: grep string /path/to/file [23:47] thx [23:47] Ben64, now im gonna restart gdm [23:47] omgitsmit: I am using VLC and that is working. [23:49] pavlos: still there? [23:51] is that possible to set h264 as default codec to watch youtube video streaming files? i have an old computer and html5 videos are choppy [23:51] omgitsmit: I am using VLC now so everything is working. [23:52] Jordan_U, The printer is now working. I ended up connecting over USB to print then used that driver. I turned other laptop into a dualboot Ubuntu/Win 8.1 because windows was slow so I'll be here with LOTS of questions :-) [23:52] Whiskey, yes [23:53] yeah.. 100% its not working [23:53] i copied the output of nvidia-settings over xorg.conf [23:53] and no effect [23:53] I got everyone espect one [23:53] but how to kill them? [23:54] pavlos: ps -ef | grep Old | grep -v New <--works fine [23:54] Whiskey, try killall program-Old ... then see what's left and use a similar pattern [23:55] well i can kill whit one by one [23:55] but i was try to find out how to kill all in same itme [23:55] "time" [23:55] Whiskey, sure [23:56] :P [23:57] Whiskey: how many dots are these "...." ? [23:57] Whiskey, if you find a good pattern, killall works nice. Then you narrow your pattern till all of the unwanted processes are gone [23:59] Whiskey: if the programs are called ProgramOld- then use pkill ^ProgramOld- to kill them all
