[02:04] Hey everyone, how slow or fast is "64 bytes from lga15s43-in-f14.1e100.net (74.125.226.46): icmp_seq=511 ttl=53 time=141ms" ? === NotANick is now known as Guest59023 === NotANick[BDC] is now known as NotANick [02:05] lauren: says right there, latency is 141ms (time) [02:05] aeon-ltd: yes, but is that fast, or slow? [02:06] I'm running 15.04 alpha right now, would turning on (vivid-proposed) break my system? [02:06] lauren: my opinion, slow. it really depends if you need low latency or not like in gaming [02:07] aeon-ltd: I'm asking because I have had lots of internet troubles tonight, and I finally got it working but the ping seems to be responding very slowly. The problem is that all my other devices are working much faster than that, and I can't figure out why. [02:07] aeon-ltd: only I need to put a little more faster, I think that with the updates it become slow¡¡¡ [02:08] lauren: i just pinged the same ip, i'm in england, got 100ms avg [02:08] I had a problem with dhcp, so I switched to ipv4 and managed to connect to my modem, but still couldn't get online. Then I changed my DNS to google servers, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and it finally connected, but it is slow as hell. Any idea why? [02:09] jddviramontes: there are a lot of tweaks you can do, but really changing Desktop Environment from unity to something lighter will free up resources to use [02:09] lauren: maybe cause your using google's dns servers :) ... honestly no idea [02:10] aeon-ltd: please give an example [02:10] aeon-ltd: Are there better dns servers to use? I got the idea from just googling the answer, I'm new to ubuntu so I'm trying to figure this out as I go [02:12] how do you easily add a key to a server? [02:12] this is a freaking headache [02:12] jddviramontes: like xfce or lxde, they require less processing power and ram to use. slowdowns are usually caused by your processor going as fast as it can therefore not being able to do much else, or shortages on ram which forces ubuntu to use your hard drive as ram (swap files/ partitions) hard drives are much slower than ram. [02:13] lauren: sorry i'm not much help, but i usually just use my isp's dns servers === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [02:13] aeon-ltd: That's ok. Yea, that's what I usually do too, but ubuntu hasn't wanted to work with my new modem, and I've had to manually configure everything to get it working, including dns [02:14] aeon-ltd: thanks, I will try xfce or lxde === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon === Vulcanical_ is now known as Vulcanical [02:18] do we have a good solution for google drive?

[04:11] i'll youtube-dl them later if i want to, but previewing is taking forever cause of the video [04:12] I have tried ytsearch: as a parameter to youtube-dl. It can download several videos at once. It can be told to download only audio. [04:12] yeah there's the -x option [04:12] the problem is that the files are 1hour+ long and i only want to preview first then download [04:13] and you can't specify to download the first couple minutes or so afaict [04:13] You can set a file size limit. Perhaps that would only include the first so many minutes? [04:13] ... [04:13] Perhaps [04:13] i saw that but i think that's more of a only download if it's this big [04:13] cause there's also a minimum size file limit [04:14] i'll give it a shot but i dont think it's like that [04:14] yeah it says don't download a video if it's larger than.. [04:15] I am on 14.04.2 and unable to install FGLRX. I select it in the driver manager but it doesn't install. It just goes back to the screen with the selections again [04:15] it probably just won't download it [04:15] You are correct. [04:15] I forgot. [04:16] I switched to linux at first for the free software, but then I found youtube-dl. [04:16] Does anyone know if there is a way to install fglrx catalyst in ubuntu 14.04.2 [04:16] Most people who use Windows do the same thing through some sort of plug-in, [04:17] in Firefox or Chrome or another browser. [04:18] mneuro, type sudo apt-get install fglrx in a terminal and see what's up [04:19] EriC' it says unmet dependencies and xorg-video-abi-11 12 13 14 15 [04:19] andy__, there's youtube-mp3.org used to use it before youtube-dl [04:20] mneuro, can you pastebin the output in paste.ubuntu.com [04:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10351147/ EriC' [04:21] I never tried that before. I tried to get youtube-dl to work in Windows, but I couldn't, so I kept having to switch back to Linux. [04:21] mneuro, type sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-11 [04:21] pastebin the output [04:22] Hi all, I am using Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS AMD64 on my home desktop. This week I had received around 69 updates under category ubuntu base. After these updates, while log in I get blank screen. I use NVidia 304.125 drivers. Kindly help [04:22] EriC' http://paste.ubuntu.com/10351153/ [04:23] mneuro, try sudo apt-get -f install [04:24] nothing [04:24] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [04:25] I was thinking of writing a script to download one youtube video at a time, from a list, but I didn't get around to writing it. [04:25] Hi, While using 14.10 I was able to select vdpau in vlc but under 14.04 Idon't see that option ....Any ideas ? [04:25] The idea would be to download one file while watching another. [04:26] It seemed a little too advanced for my scripting skills. [04:27] mneuro, hmm maybe try fglrx-updates ? [04:27] tried both [04:28] But it would solve the audio only bandwith problem. Most of the problem with youtube seems to be that it downloads a video multiple times before you see it, or are done with it. [04:28] I feel like Catalyst just not working is a pretty big bug [04:28] Looks like it's on the forums too [04:29] andy__, for i in `cat /list/to/download`; do youtube-dl -x $i; done [04:29] andy__, it should do them one after the other [04:29] hi im losing ethernet connection when i try to install apps from the software center and update my wifi driver on 14.10 [04:30] ganeshp: Likely the update broke with that proprietary driver. RE-install the Nvidia driver . [04:30] i cant though i lose ethernet connection [04:30] I had a feeling that you could solve that problem. Could it be applied to the bandwith problem that you had earlier? [04:31] andy__, i can't even watch one video without it buffering all the time [04:31] usually my net connection is way faster and it never stalls or anything but i'm using a different one right now [04:32] andy__, nope, it will still download the whole thing [04:32] @Bashing-om : I did that. But after reinstall issue still comes back. [04:33] @Bashing-om : but if I run with default nouveau drivers system works fine except poor display [04:33] Here is my script that I have used... [04:34] youtube-dl -citw -f 18/17/22/5 $* & [04:34] read [04:34] mplayer -af scaletempo *.part [04:34] mneuro: 'apt-cache showpkg xserver-xorg-core | grep abi' [04:35] Flugz http://paste.ubuntu.com/10351288/ [04:35] This will play the incomplete download, which is what I wanted a long time ago. [04:35] andy__, that's awesome [04:36] ganeshp: All I can think of is that the original Nvidia driver was not purged prior to RE-installing; what does /var/log/Xorg.0.log say about the build of the Nvidia driver ? [04:36] mneuro: 'dpkg -l xserver-xorg-core' [04:36] Does that solve your problem/ [04:36] ? [04:37] Flugz http://paste.ubuntu.com/10351300/ [04:37] mneuro: ok.. install that package, and try to install fglrx again === bhagya is now known as gaya3 [04:38] The read command asks for the user to press return, and then it plays the video, which has started downloading by the time the return key is pressed. [04:38] if i install that package it is going to install a ton of xserver-xorg pacakges [04:38] andy__, i just noticed something, i think youtube-dl downloads the file as a video+audio file, then just strips the audio out and deletes the video [04:38] Flugz it is replacing my xserver packages with -utopic ones... [04:39] yes, the xorg-video-abi-11 12 13 and so on are in that package, which fglrx depends on [04:39] Why isn't this already installed in Ubuntu then? Do they not expect people to install fglrx? [04:39] I know it's not your fault that it's like that or anything [04:39] andy__, i guess if i can check the incomplete download of youtube-mp3.org i could get what i wanted, previewing the file as audio only [04:40] cause that service downloads and extracts the audio on their servers [04:40] mneuro: i think they want people to use the open source radeon driver [04:40] The open source radeon driver is pretty terrible if you are playing any game [04:40] the question is how to play the incomplete download of firefox? ~/.cache/mozilla ? search for files with mp headers ? or it would be somewhere else? [04:40] it even causes graphic artifacts when navigating the desktop [04:41] *mp3 [04:41] EriC`, perhaps, that would be a solution for now [04:41] anyone know what my problem could be? [04:42] @Bashing-om: Here is the paste of /var/log/Xorg.0.log file http://paste.ubuntu.com/10351318/ . I could not locate the nvidia version here. But in Nvidia settings panel I found the version as 304.125 [04:42] andy__, it could probably be scripted to enter a url, download it with curl/wget and do a find -exec file | grep mp3 header and play it [04:42] especially, if you don't mind dealing with curl... [04:42] that is what I was thinking exactly. [04:43] EriC`, You have more scripting proficiency than me. I have had trouble using curl, but I thought you could do it fine. [04:44] Flugz well thanks for the help. That seems to have allowed me to install the fglrx driver [04:44] ganeshp: If you have the nouveau (open source) driver installed, there will be no Nvidia build. Have you now re-Installed Nvidia,. Before I look . [04:44] hiii [04:44] mneuro: np, hope it works out ok :-) [04:44] hi, i am having trouble trying to install fglrx. [04:45] any one is thare who can help me to hack facebook account [04:46] @Bashing-om: Yes, thats right. After system updates, I did not find a way to login to the computer. So I had restored my old working version of the OS. So the version of xorg is with nvidia proprietary driver. [04:46] NEI4U2K: What ATI card are we talking about ? 2X/3X/4X series are no longer supported by ATI . [04:46] ganeshp: Good, I be look'n .. I be back . [04:47] @Bashing-om: I am sorry, I found the nvidia version in line number 90. it is 304.125 [04:47] it says, amd hd radeon 7570m. hybrid with intel graphics. [04:47] @Bashing-om: thanks a ton [04:48] i just recovered from booting into terminal after installing fglrx and removing it. [04:48] now i am reading this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1930450&page=88 [04:48] and it's talking about fresh install. there must be some other way. yes? [04:49] andy__, it looks like it saves them in ~/Downloads/*.part which is great [04:50] EriC`, try typing youtube-dl -F along with a sample url or ytsearch, to see what formats are available. There are several audio formats, like webm, m4a, etc. [04:50] EriC`, It looks like you found another solution, though. [04:50] andy__, you're my hero dude [04:51] i'll use youtube-mp3.org to download the audio only, and play the *.part files to preview [04:51] EriC`, you found the solution yourself. Thanks though. [04:51] you're idea of using the *.part was key [04:51] *your [04:52] thanks :) [04:54] Thanks. I just remember playing the videos when they were partially downloaded, just the way that they appeared in the directory. [04:54] Or perhaps that was given by the output from youtube-dl. [04:55] Eric, Linux is great, because there are many different ways to solve a single problem. [04:57] I just installed Ubuntu 14.04, and Ubuntu says it experienced an internal error [04:58] ganeshp: Yeah, the Nvidia driver built "(II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 304.125 Mon Dec 1 20:00:30 PST 2014 " and is in use; This I am not certain about what it entails " 17.387] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Unable to support custom viewPortOut 1360 x 765 +0 +1 " ??? [04:58] Is that serious? an internal error? [05:00] @Bashing-om: My screen resolution is 1360x768. So the custom viewportout 1360x765 is something I am not using. This setting is valid for the past 6 years I have been using various flavors of linux I was using on this machine. not sure if we can ignore this message in the file. [05:00] andy__, yes and you can do lots of stuff with it [05:04] andy__, i think i see a --skip-download option in youtube-dl it says it skips the video download [05:04] i want to give it a shot, but i can't get the youtube-dl to work, hehe [05:05] it's youtube-dl -x http://www.youtube.com/etc..... [05:05] ? [05:07] ganeshp: I am at the end of my skill set. Sorry, I do not know what else to check . [05:07] i'll try another video, it says encrypted signatures detected [05:08] @Bashing-om: I sincerely thank you for your time and attention. I will keep searching for the resolution. Hopefully will find it soon.... [05:10] ganeshp: let me look on the Nvidia site, see what driver they reoemmend. just a maybe we can use a later version than 304 ? [05:10] andy__, nevermind, actually i just noticed that youtube-dl doesn't download the whole thing first, it seems to download just the audio, so i guess it's the same as using youtube-mp3.org [05:11] @Bashing-om: I tried that option. Looks like 304 series is the last series of drivers offered to to my graphics card. Now it is moved to legacy category now :( [05:11] I am glad you found that out. [05:12] EriC`, I tried to test it to show that it was just downloading audio, but it would be impossible to test what was happening on your computer. [05:13] EriC`, Sorry I was away from my computer for a bit. I wanted to get some popcorn. [05:15] andy__, well it says it's downloading xx mb of xxx mb at xx kb/sec, i checked system monitor and it's only slightly higher so i guess it's only downloading the audio part as it indicates === arthur is now known as Guest88592 [05:16] EriC`, great [05:17] andy__, youtube-dl is pretty solid [05:17] ganeshp: "The 340.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs. >> GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i ; per :http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html . [05:18] EriC`, Did you find which format parameter to use, to just download it as a good audio file? [05:18] andy__, i didn't try that yet, i'm waiting for this download to finish to see what format it saves as [05:18] i just used -x [05:19] i'm going to try another smaller one right now [05:19] Hello, someone use a Lightdm with webkit-greeter ? [05:20] ganeshp: Ya might do better here : https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/nvidia . [05:20] EriC`, That is a post-processing parameter. You might be downloading the whole file, but not be slowed down too much. [05:21] @Bashing-om: GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i is appearing in the section "The 304.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs:" in the url given. So I believe 304 series is the last series for my gpu [05:22] The -f option tells youtube which format to send the video in. It is like selecting the video quality from the gear symbol [05:22] that is, the gear symbol on the website. [05:22] what are some reasons why my command line would be running slow after installing ubuntu 14.10 on a vps [05:24] ganeshp: Sorry, you are correct .. 304 ... sheeshh .. I am tireder than I had thought .. [05:25] @Bashing-om: :) I found one post in ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2209844. Will try it now. If I fail I will end up in restoring the old OS image. [05:26] ganeshp: look'n at ubuntuforums link too . [05:33] andy__, it downloads them as .m4a [05:34] it converted it to mp3 when i tried to download as mp3 [05:34] EriC`, I saw that .m4a and webm were the two main format options when I tested it using the -F parameter. [05:34] test [05:35] hi [05:36] anyone here experienced at creating a bios grub boot partition? === Sir_Lestaty is now known as dumbledore [05:37] EriC`, probably using -f 140/141/bestaudio and then converting it with --audio-format "mp3" would save your bandwith and get the file to be saved in a convenient form [05:38] ok, cool [05:42] andy__, one problem i'm facing is that mplayer loads the file into memory and then it ends it at what it was when it was loaded into memory [05:43] andy__, like if it's at 10% and i play it, even if it reaches 20% by the time i get to 10% it ends it [05:43] if i can pass the start arguments to mplayer i can probably get where it thought it ended at first and have it replay it starting from there [05:44] I am not sure why it is doing that. [05:44] Perhaps somebody else would know more about the problem. It has never done that to me before. [05:47] I used to download higher definition videos, and would start it when the video was only 1% downloaded. When the video would reach the end of what has been downloaded, it would stop and I would have to rerun my script that would play all *.part files. [05:48] EriC`, Other than that, I did not see any troubles with downloading partial files. === Yukkii is now known as Dhs92 [05:50] EriC`, I think I should log off of the chat room for now. I hope I have been of some help to you.

[10:30] bekks: Thanks, that was my worst fear! :F That there is some crashing going on, suppressed.

[10:32] Arxanez, type sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit [10:33] bekks: Oh, okay. So can it be a totally normal part of the process life-cycle than? Or you just meant that it could've ran out of memory and got restarted (which is still a problem but not a crash, kinda)? [10:35] TheBigDeal, Could you give me an example of an fstab line for UUID=d6a6a198-8cd7-414a-a875-8df021e443f3 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [10:35] To set it to allow exec [10:35] bekks: Do you know what should I search for to get some insight into how to debug what's wrong? I know it can be a lot of things so if you could just help me out with some keywords to start my thought process (which is stuck at the moment). [10:35] TheHackOps: I have no idea, But make sure about your guy of last night :P [10:36] 0.0 [10:37] TheHackOps: sorry for that, But i have no idea. [10:38] TheHackOps: what's the problem, again? [10:39] I have a problem with our Ubuntu 14.04 server. It's kernel 3.16. The IO performance is really bad. When I am transferring files or import data into mysql: kworker and jdb2 are eating all my IO. Googling learns that multiple people have had this problem.

[10:41] and I mean: the mysql file is between 0 - 10 MB: it takes multiple minutes to import. [10:41] could be a faulty drive and the filesystem is retrying a lot [10:41] checked smart? [10:42] nope, where can I read about that? :) [10:42] PeterMetz: I'd take a look into the logs in /var/log/ and maybe enable logging for node.js [10:42] EriC' cant pass thrue second command it just blinking and it does nothing. [10:42] Hi there! now comes one i think you gona find easy.. What is the command for looking at where a package has installed its files and configs?

[10:45] bekks: I will execute the following (create a random 1 GB file) and then paste dmesg. openssl rand -out sample.txt -base64 $(( 2**30 * 3/4 )) [10:45] Hmm this is so weird [10:45] It doesnt do anything but display a picture od the dvorak map. [10:45] I still cant execute anything i have downloaded except from apt [10:45] No .run files will execute [10:45] of scripts [10:45] on 14.04 [10:46] blackflow, [10:46] TheHackOps: and you have the permissions to execute those? [10:46] genkgo: No. Execute: "dmesg" and pastebin it. [10:46] blackflow, yes [10:46] blackflow, I run ls -l [10:46] and the file im trying to run has +x [10:47] bekks: Awesome I can get going with that! Thanks a lot and have a nice day (or good night)! [10:48] I might just nuke this install and go over to Mint if i cant get this to work [10:48] Sometimes dvorak feels more natural than us. [10:49] TheHackOps: well, if you have +x permissions for your user, and no MAC in place (eg. apparmor blocking) for that path, then the files are not executable. [10:49] blackflow, THis is a fresh install last night' [10:49] TheHackOps: the question is also, how are you trying to execute those files [10:49] blackflow, Both the way i normally do and through the terminal ./app.run [10:50] When i say normally [10:50] i mean double click and run [10:50] assuming you know what you're doing with running randomly downloaded files (!), what error message you get whern you run ./app.run through the terminal? [10:50] When i try to run it from terminal i get bash: ./qt-opensource-linux-x86-android-5.4.0.run: No such file or directory [10:51] TheHackOps: can you pastebin ls -la of the dir where you're running that, and where that file should be? [10:51] where can I find out, which graphic driver is used ? bumblebee, nvidia or nouveau [10:51] dreamon_: lsmod I'd guess [10:51] dreamon_: lspci -k [10:52] blackflow, sure, I also should note that auto complete in the terminal works [10:52] dunno why [10:52] hello [10:52] and bumblebee isnt a graphics driver, but a facility to choose between graphics drivers. [10:52] TheHackOps: wild guess, that run file is a shell script and its shebang points to an unexisting binary [10:53] blackflow, I thought that as well but i tried installing all my different IDES some are .sh scripts and some are .run files [10:53] and none of them work [10:53] http://pastebin.com/9y6zh3mN [10:53] TheHackOps: what does head -c 10 for one of those files say? Careful, if it's a binary you might get garbage out. Check with 'file' what is it first. [10:53] are you on blackbox? [10:53] bekks: http://pastebin.com/qgaw9H8q [10:54] Ben64, Yes [10:54] TheHackOps: blackbox isn't supported in this channel [10:54] Wait what do you mean [10:54] TheHackOps: btw, you don't have full permissions on that file, you need +r too. [10:54] it isn't ubuntu [10:54] This is a Vanilla install of Ubuntu 14.04 [10:54] oh [10:55] No i thought you meant am i on the pc named blackbox [10:55] My bad [10:55] TheHackOps it's either blackbox or ubuntu [10:55] THe dvorak keys are located so that all of the vowels are sequential.

[11:05] that you "can't install anything that isn't in a repo" [11:05] I cant run any executable scripts or binaries [11:05] TheHackOps: I wouldn't go that far, I'd just say you can't run those particular exes. I don't know why, I'm willing to bet wrong libc or something like that. Are those android apps you're tring to run on Ubuntu? [11:05] Speaking of virtual box. [11:05] bekks, no. I never used the nvidia part of the hybrid graphic card. couldnt remember I switched it of in bios. now I will give it a new try after a year. [11:05] Ubuntu 6 or 7 touches hardware. [11:05] blackflow, they're Qt binaries [11:05] and [11:05] pycharm [11:05] bins [11:06] hi [11:06] How do I redirect incoming traffic going to port 80, to port 8000 instead? - I've tried: `iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8000` [11:06] Worked on every other version of ubuntu [11:06] TheHackOps: why is there android in the file name? [11:06] Thank you all. Now I know where to go on. [11:06] !prime | dreamon_ [11:06] blackflow, Qt ANdroid sdk [11:06] TheHackOps: oh, okay. [11:06] dreamon_: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hybrid-Grafikkarten/Prime?redirect=no [11:06] blackflow, I have been using Ubuntu for about 7 years now [11:06] TheHackOps: here try running this.... http://ben64.com/hell2 [11:06] Would rly hate to drop it now [11:06] because of this [11:07] Ubuntu14dl, thanks. your the first one. [11:07] if you can't run it, you have a broken install/system [11:07] TheHackOps: Because of what? A random, broken, .run file? :) [11:07] The vm is more secure considering the nations are many and any one man can become a victim of the voters. [11:07] bekks, No not one file [11:07] I cant run any file [11:07] TheHackOps: Why not? [11:07] TheHackOps: try mine [11:07] bekks, lol [11:07] reboot.. bye [11:08] TheHackOps: I dont see any joke in that question - did you make it executable, ensure that it exists in the current directory, and run "./thatfile"? [11:08] genkgo: what do you know about this jdb2 thing? I don't have anything like that in my process list. [11:08] bekks, Yes [11:08] * Ben64 pokes TheHackOps [11:08] TheHackOps: So whats the output of "./thatfile" then? [11:08] I did it exactly as i have for many years [11:09] bekks: he did, the error is file not found, so I thought wrong shell interpreter line, or some binary dep, possibly wrong libc [11:09] blackflow: if it is a VPS, could the setup of the hoster cause the problems? It is a new platform and this machine it the first one from the cluster [11:09] genkgo: is the disk size fixed or modifiable? [11:09] genkgo: absolutely. Is it Azure? [11:09] genkgo: I do not know, that is out my scope. [11:09] Ben64, Sorry just checking the files contents [11:09] blackflow: And did he take a look at the first line of that file? [11:09] The lawyers think its ok for a man to be the victim of mobs voting without surety. [11:09] Never ever to paranoid [11:09] baclflow: Hyper V [11:09] TheHackOps: its 52 bytes, would be quite impressive if it was dangerous [11:09] bekks: that's what I suggested with head -c 10, but 'file' shows an ELF [11:10] Nothing has changed in 2000 years. [11:10] blackflow: "file" is often mislead when having a shell script wrapper which executes a binary file". [11:10] With the last ". [11:10] *without [11:10] dinosaur: I do not know if the size is modifiable [11:10] Ben64, Hmm that worked... [11:10] TheHackOps: so you can run things :D [11:10] That was a good test [11:10] ok [11:10] Yes [11:11] genkgo: try to create the virtual disk again, this time using fixed size and check if there'll be a difference [11:11] no need to nuke this for mint then :) [11:11] So I wonder whats to weird about all these other files [11:11] sounds like a bad file then [11:11] Dram until my dreams come true. [11:11] What depends i am misisng [11:11] Then infinity is eternal. [11:11] Xman [11:11] genkgo: I'd bet it's a problematic VM setup on the host, but as I have zero clue about windows virtualization, I can't help with that. [11:11] genkgo: how do you measure the speed? [11:11] Ben64, Both pycharm and qt? [11:11] It sounds more like im missing something [11:11] or a symlink is broken [11:11] TheHackOps: where did you get them [11:12] hello, how do I set up POST request on apache2 server? [11:12] Ben64, From their respective websites [11:12] Would you like me to link [11:12] sure [11:12] Ben64, http://www.qt.io/download-open-source/# [11:12] https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/ [11:12] dinosaur: I do not 'measure'. I reached the conclusions quickly when mysql import 6 MB import takes multiple minutes and rsync causes my complete IO to be captured. [11:12] Someone in here tried them last night [11:12] And said they worked [11:13] genkgo: so try dd if=/dev/random of=testfile bs=1024k count=100 [11:13] I thought youns were real people. [11:13] dinosaur: Thats a neat /dev/random benchmark :) Better use /dev/zero [11:13] TheHackOps: I'd look for .deb files for both, rather than trying those .runs. There _should_ be .deb files, even Ubuntu builds, at least for pycharm [11:14] TheHackOps: the qt one at least doesn't link me to one that says "android" in it... [11:14] bekks: I am not sure if it will be not optimized in a way [11:14] I know this is offtopic but I am always amazed how good the support is in the ubuntu community [11:14] dinosaur: It will not be optimized in any way. [11:14] So thanks [11:14] dinosaur: IO is not captured [11:14] Ben64, let me get you the link to the exact run file im using [11:14] i think you're trying to run something made for android [11:14] genkgo: I can't get it? The data is not saved on the disk or what? [11:14] Ben64, http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.0/qt-opensource-linux-x64-android-5.4.0.run [11:14] Im not [11:14] dinosaur: dd: warning: partial read (102 bytes); suggest iflag=fullblock [11:15] Thos assumptions are the product of the age. [11:15] its Qt Creator + Qt 5.4 + the Android SDK [11:15] TheHackOps: yeah thats for android [11:15] dinosaur: and it is still running [11:15] Ben64, Its not for running on android [11:15] TheHackOps: it is... [11:15] Its for a linux host [11:15] its not [11:15] genkgo: OK. Kill it and try with count=1 [11:15] then count=10 [11:15] then count=100 === xlz is now known as lovezrs [11:16] Ben64, http://i.imgur.com/cFuIlLW.png [11:16] genkgo: partial read? what is your if= source? [11:16] I have removed almost everything from my system, leaving only the essential packages. Is it safe reboot or do you suggest I should install something? [11:16] dinosaur: Total DISK WRITE: 0 (only when there is a http request on the machine the disk write increases) [11:17] TheHackOps: yeah... says "for android" [11:17] dinosaur: with count=10, I get: dd: warning: partial read (6 bytes); suggest iflag=fullbloc [11:17] genkgo: what's the exact command do you use? copy and paste it [11:17] Ben64, Its the NDK [11:17] dd if=/dev/random of=testfile bs=1024k count=10 [11:17] OK, change /dev/random with /dev/zero [11:17] and try again [11:17] Ben64, If there is one thing i do know its qt [11:18] Thats their complete Android dev enviroment [11:18] dinosaur: 10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0,0115743 s, 906 MB/s [11:18] TheHackOps: then gdb it [11:18] hi [11:18] im new here [11:18] can someone help me with a walk through [11:19] dinosaur: I know my host set up replication to another machine, real time. Could this cause the issue? [11:19] Ben64, I dont think that is going to help, It has something to do with file system permissions i think [11:19] backbox: With a walkthrough through what? [11:19] TheHackOps: Ben64: the ELF is 32-bit, could it be missing a 32-bit lib on a 64-bit Ubuntu? I don't know how multilib works on Ubuntu, but on some distros it'll break like that. [11:19] how to get started using its features [11:19] Ben64, Lots of people have had this issue for lots of different run files [11:19] backbox: Define "its". [11:19] blackflow: easy to see with gdb [11:19] Ben64: true. [11:19] i am having issues with nbtscan [11:20] no results [11:20] bekks [11:20] haw can i use gcc [11:20] backbox: What do you need nbtscan for, actually? Whats the actual issue behind that? [11:20] good morning [11:20] genkgo: I think so, becuase the data must be read. Can you turn off replication and try again? [11:20] i want try scanning i.p addresses [11:21] dinosaur: I do not think I can do that [11:21] Optiums is active in bios. bumblebee is installed on 14.04. think I told him to use i915. I want to run blender with nvidia-cuda support. how can I do it? [11:21] backbox: Then nbtscan is the totally wrong tool :) This is what nbtscan does: http://www.unixwiz.net/tools/nbtscan.html [11:21] I am not the owner of the machine, just the VPS user [11:21] or can I turn it off? [11:22] bekks: so what tool do i need [11:22] Do youns want a vps? [11:22] Ben64, Contains no debug symbols [11:22] backbox: First state the actual issue behind your wish. [11:22] thats fine, could still tell you where it crashes [11:22] hi all , do you know how can i rename lot of files from on directory ? like $ls VideoVacance.net_aventures.avi VideoVacance.net_trip.avi ===> $grep/$sed?/$rm?/$mv? "VideoVacance.net" ===> $ls _aventure _trip .... Have you got way for one answer ? :) [11:22] dinosaur: how should I turn it of? [11:23] i am trying my hands out on pen testing [11:23] @bekks [11:23] backbox: are you on... backbox perhaps [11:23] bekks: now yes [11:23] backbox: So you arent even using Ubuntu, arent you? [11:23] backbox: then head over to irc.autistici.org #backbox [11:24] bekks: on my vmware, i am [11:24] Ben64, Cant attach coz it wont start [11:24] lol [11:25] genkgo: I don't know, but note that it seems that the linear writing to the disk works OK [11:25] genkgo: Pastebin the output of "free -m" please. [11:25] TheHackOps: bad download? running on something mounted noexec? [11:25] dinosaur: I noticed that too, 10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0,0115743 s, 906 MB/s, seems pretty good result [11:25] Ben64, The noexec is the most likely culperate [11:25] Mind looking at my fstab [11:25] genkgo: Ten MB IO happens entirely in your RAM, so the result will be fast, always. [11:26] bekks: but it must be copied to the disk? [11:26] TheHackOps: it would show up in the "mount" command [11:26] How to get started with bacbox [11:26] TheHackOps: which was the first thing I told you to check :) [11:26] Ben64, http://pastebin.com/qvSkjh6E [11:26] dinosaur: It will be. But thats the job of the IO cache :) [11:26] backbox: --->head over to irc.autistici.org #backbox <---- [11:26] backbox this is for ubuntu, sure you're in the right channel? [11:26] ben64: sites not opening [11:27] genkgo: so try to increase count and send us the command + the output again [11:27] bekks: with how much should I increase the command? [11:27] genkgo: Again: Pastebin the output of "free -m". [11:27] backbox: its an irc server/channel [11:27] backbox you're in the wrong channel, that's why you're not getting answers [11:28] genkgo: also, I noticed that you told us about importing sql / using rsync command. I believe that you are doing it between different hosts. Are you should that it is not a network congestion, not a disk problem? [11:29] Are you sure, I meant [11:29] bekks: http://pastebin.com/FnKVQzWS [11:29] thats terrible [11:29] all memory is eaten while dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024k count=1000 [11:30] genkgo: no, are you reading the buffers/cache line? [11:30] genkgo: Memory not being used is memory wasted. [11:30] bekks: then what is eating my memory? :) [11:30] ben64: i am there [11:30] genkgo: you have about 13GB of your RAM being used as IO cache. [11:30] genkgo: you've got 13GB free [11:30] genkgo: Nothing is eating your memory. only 3GB are used. [11:30] and lol at 30GB swap :D [11:31] blackflow, Anyway im off for tonight Ill try again tomorrow or else ill just have to use mint [11:31] Thanks so much for everyones time [11:31] bekks blackflow dinosaur: I am lost, I do not get the picture anymore. [11:32] genkgo: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ :) [11:32] genkgo: at this point I'd talk to your hosting provider. [11:33] genkgo: PAstebin the output of vmstat 1 20 when running your mysql import in parallel. [11:33] genkgo: some memory may be cached, so if you (let us say) started and closed application, the system wouldn't have to reload it to memory again. But don't worry about it right now. [11:33] bekks: thanks for the link, that solves my understanding of free -m [11:33] :) [11:34] blackflow: what would be my message? IO problems? [11:34] bekks: will do. [11:34] genkgo: yup. [11:34] genkgo: In a few moments we will know whats happening ;) [11:34] bekks: honestly, I don't know how you've got to the conclusion that 3 GB of memory is used, but I can't display the result in a nice way right now, so perhaps it's because of that [11:35] dinosaur: IO cache can be safely considered as unused memory - the the link above :) [11:36] genkgo: Describe everything what you've done, but one thing is still paying my attention [11:36] genkgo: you told us about importing sql database and rsyncing. Once again: it was done from a host to a different host? [11:36] bekks: it is running, a 6 MB import [11:36] dinosaur: That doesnt matter for a 6MB file :) [11:36] bekks: and it is still running [11:37] genkgo: No run that vmstat 1 20 in parallel [11:37] bekks: what does not matter? [11:37] *Now [11:37] dinosaur: Network speed :) [11:37] dinosaur: it is not network, problems take place after downloading files [11:37] bekks: if the internet connection's bad, then yes, it does matter [11:38] bekks: http://pastebin.com/Mv8gBx44 [11:38] bekks: I also quited the command, it was still running [11:38] 50% iowait for 50kb block, yeah, talk to your host [11:39] genkgo: ^^^^ [11:39] genkgo: Look at the 2nd last column - your VPS is experiencing heavy IO wait events, so the underlying host is under heavy IO load. Talk to your server provider. [11:39] http://pastebin.com/Mv8gBx44http://pastebin.com/Mv8gBx44http://pastebin.com/Mv8gBx44 [11:39] sorry [11:39] terminal working badly [11:40] bekks: could that be caused by replication? [11:40] genkgo: Yeah. [11:40] genkgo: MySQL replication? [11:40] blackflow: I believe it is complete system replication [11:40] genkgo: So talk to your server provider. [11:41] bekks, blackflow: how does it happen that the linear writing to the disk is fast, why normal disk operations seems to be congested? [11:41] bekks: will do. thank a lot for all your help. it is really wonderful that you took so much time in answering my questions, much appreciated. [11:42] dinosaur: the 10MB IO operation happened entirely in the IO cache in the RAM, so no disk IO was ever involved. [11:42] bekks: but he also increased the count, AFAIR [11:42] dinosaur: Thats why dd with smaller total amounts of data than the IO cache size is totally useless. [11:42] dinosaur: He did not use a total IO size of > 13GB. [11:42] dinosaur: was that with or without fsync after each block with dd? [11:43] blackflow: dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024k count=[various numbers] - it is what I gave him [11:43] blackflow: so I guest without, am I right? [11:43] dinosaur: you need conv=fdatasync to actually write each block to disk [11:43] dinosaur: with count 1, 10 and 100 - which is far smaller than 13GB. [11:44] blackflow, bekks: thanks, it will be useful for the future [11:44] dinosaur: but the second time I did count=1000 [11:44] otherwise it lingers in memory at the convenience of the kernel to commit it to diwk [11:44] *disk [11:44] genkgo: they tell us that it is still too much. Right, bekks, blackflow? [11:44] *too little [11:44] Hi, I'm trying to set an xtreamer up to run as a server without a monitor. I can't get the machine to boot without a monitor plugged in (Ubuntu 14.04). I've followed this, but no success: http://askubuntu.com/questions/234081/how-to-boot-ubuntu-without-a-monitor-plugged-in [11:45] vmstat told us that the system is experiencing heavy IO load. [11:45] genkgo: count=1000 means 1GB with a bs of 1M. [11:45] any suggestions on booting without a monitor? [11:46] bekks: could you please explain how you figured out that he has 3 MB of memory used? [11:46] *3 GB [11:46] dinosaur: the "-/+ buffers/cache" line in 'free -m' [11:46] dinosaur: BY looking at the cache portion of free -m, which said "about 13GB". With a total RAM of 16GB, that leads to 3GB being used. [11:48] bekks: cache portion of it says that 13746 MB of memory is free. How should it be interpreted? I can't comfortably open your link in browser, because it will most likely use all my free memory [11:49] dinosaur: Did you read the link I posted? [11:49] dinosaur: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [11:49] anyone know how to enable http post in apache2 config? [11:49] bekks: I'm not sure if I'll be able to right now, as I said. OK, let's give it a try. [11:50] Delphin: unless you're explicitly denying POST, it's already enabled [11:50] Delphin: also, -> #apache [11:51] bekks: OK, I already got it. [11:51] bekks: thx [11:52] Now: I have removed almost everything from my system. I've left only packages marked as essential (I hope that I've left all of them, but I'm not even sure). Do you suggest I install something before rebooting? [11:52] dinosaur: depends what you want to achieve. [11:53] blackflow: I want the system to boot on its own after reboot. [11:53] grub is not installed, I noticed [11:54] So you need to install grub. [11:54] dinosaur: are you not using a default Ubuntu installation? [11:54] blackflow: default Ubuntu Server 12.04 [11:55] dinosaur: oh you're stripping off unneded packages from a default installation? [11:55] The question is: why? [11:56] blackflow: no, I want to build Ubuntu from scratch. I can do it pretty safely, because I do this operations in a VM, but I would rather prefer not to do the job twice, so it's why I'm asking if there's something I should install [11:57] dinosaur: you could follow the Linux From Scratch handbook and instead use Ubuntu provided .debs for each required package. Assuming you know what you're doing :) [11:57] !mini | dinosaur and build it up [11:57] dinosaur and build it up: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:57] dinosaur: Using a basic server installation would be more targetting :) [11:57] bekks: what do you mean basic server installation? [11:58] dinosaur: Just use the server iso from Ubuntu, and use it for installing your VM. Thats a reasonable small vm afterwards. [11:58] bekks: right now, it takes 600 MB of disk space [11:58] I must've misunderstood the "build from scratch" then :) [11:58] dinosaur: Which is very small. [11:58] dinosaur, try the mini - iso [11:59] bekks: it's because I've got rid of all the packages which were possible to remove [11:59] dinosaur: Why? [11:59] Whats the actual goal behind that? [11:59] bekks: because I want to build it from scratch to know the system better and also for fun. [12:00] dinosaur: The do Linux From Scratch first. Then do a Gentoo install. And then try LFS with Ubuntu debs :D That's a all year round fun right there ;) [12:00] *Then [12:00] dinosaur: You will not "know the system better" when doing that - you will just learn that random removal of packages may harm your system. [12:00] bekks: you are wrong. I'm going to read a bit of source code of chosen packages [12:01] dinosaur, i got the same idea... then i understood that was beyond my forces and started to study a manual [12:01] dinosaur: I am right. I've already been there where you want to go to... [12:01] dinosaur: About two decades ago ;) [12:01] bekks: I'm not going to read through everything. Just pieces that are of my interest. [12:01] hallo all - excuse me this is a trial [12:01] hallo [12:01] dinosaur: No one said you should read "everything". [12:02] dammit. I've rendered the system unusable [12:02] dinosaur: But your proposed learning path is not targetting your goal. [12:02] dinosaur: you're using conflicting words then. Do you want to learn Ubuntu inside out or a linux distro? Because the former does not really need building it "from scratch". [12:02] blackflow: Linux, but Ubuntu is a distribution that I like [12:02] is there an actual support question regarding what dinosaur is doing [12:03] ok it seems that I'm able using thunderbird to chat [12:03] bye [12:03] dinosaur: which is pre-built and pre-configured for easier use. IF you want to learn how distros are built, then do LFS or Gentoo. [12:03] lets get back to ubuntu support please [12:04] bazhang: OK, so after I choose Ubuntu from boot menu, it tells me that there is no such file. Do you know solution? [12:04] multiple distros support can move to ##linux [12:04] bazhang: but I'm using Ubuntu [12:05] dinosaur, sounds like you overdid it in the removal department, is this a vm or what [12:05] bazhang: sure, it is a vm [12:05] it tells me "you need to load the kernel first" (something like that) [12:06] dinosaur, so grab the mini iso around 60mb, and build up; you could have it running in the next ten minutes or so [12:06] Hi all. In tcpdump -vv -i my output contains some IP addresses that have ".domain" appended to them(without quotes). [12:06] what does that mean? === wildchild is now known as charlesj [12:11] is there an easy way of going to the console after booting from Ubuntu Live CD? I know that it's possible after entering Live mode, but I would like to have the possibility to do it immediately after booting from CD [12:11] also, I'm not sure what "Recovery mode" (sth like that) is for [12:11] seems like it's a usual reinstallation [12:12] am I wrong? [12:12] touchpad is working again, i cracked open the laptop and put some alcohol and a hair dryer for a couple hours, today touchpad was working but ironically the keyboard stopped working correctly, i put some alcohol and let it dry, i was able to get past the bios into ubuntu but most buttons didnt work, anyways it seems heat is helping it so i ran for i in `seq 1 10`; do gnome-terminal -e `seq 1 10000000`; done and got the temps way up and now it seems to be workin [12:12] g correctly again, in case somebody spills soda, pour alcohol, let it dry, and run something to warm up [12:16] is there an appropriate chatroom for caeer/job opportunities?

There are so many to choose from [12:26] I am using ubuntu 14.10 [12:26] test [12:26] I don't want to just randomly 777 on the webroot [12:26] I want to do it poperly === firebird is now known as Guest36962 [12:27] can anyone tell me how to return the scrollbar behavior to the original one? I upgraded to ubuntu 14,, and this is bad [12:27] first try with mini ubuntu - a purple screen of death [12:27] when installing [12:28] when I click over or under the scrollbar in browser now, it JUMPS to that opsition instead of just scrolling one page up or down. How do I change it back, please? [12:29] And another thing: menu fonts and toolbar fonts are screwed now, the selected windown for example has several overwrites and the menu looks like the text is written twice over itself [12:29] cyberfab007: afaik, 755 for directories, 644 for files. may change depending on what you're doing. [12:31] hello everyone, can anyone tell me how can I improve my visual design on unity desktop, I'm really feeling boring with orange colored theme [12:32] Or has ubuntu become the new Windows Vista? [12:33] oh damn [12:33] avatar_: Windows ME [12:34] rateder: no, in Windows ME, you could actually change the GUI to a nice setting, you could change window colors, sizes and everything, I did not find any way to change it in Ubuntu [12:34] avatar_: unity is not customisable [12:35] rateder: I would much more prefer Windows ME to Ubuntu 14, Windows ME had so much more friendlier UI and you cuold actually do something in it. [12:35] You could replace the desktop environment to something customisable, like KDE, but eww [12:35] that miniUbuntu is really bad, it is not even possible to install it [12:35] also, then go use windows ME [12:35] dinosaur, the mini iso is a net installation... it's possible that the system doesn't know your router so set a static ip and gateway [12:35] ConfusedPerson: I do not use unity, but gnome+metacity, but my attempts to find the settings were all in vain [12:35] ioria: is there a non-network equivalent? [12:36] GNOME isn't customisable either [12:36] well it kind of is [12:36] ConfusedPerson: ubuntu even switched on the dreaded animations after the upgrade to 14, and I can't find a way to turn it off, why? It is making me dizzy anytime I minimize a window. [12:36] That's metacity though, isn't it? [12:37] ConfusedPerson: is Ubuntu secretly trying to kill me by making me trip on a ladder? [12:37] I actually like unity because it have a little bit flavor of mac, I like the look of mac, not the OS. [12:37] I would not use Unity at all. Never seen it, but from I've read I think that any choice will be better. [12:37] dinosaur, no clue. but you can run the text mode installation and configure the network [12:38] elementary looks like OSX [12:38] avatar_: maybe gconf-editor? [12:38] I remember messing around with window manager settings [12:39] but it does not have the Global Menu! I like that though its not supported by linux community as I know. [12:39] ioria: tried that, but I can't see any difference between text and normal mode installation [12:39] ConfusedPerson: I tried, tried... there is close to NOTHING there ;-( [12:39] I'd change window managers then [12:40] I think i used compiz but that thing's probably old now [12:40] any theme suggestion for unity? or icon? I searched through Google, but can't find one I like. [12:40] dinosaur, i mean the command-line installation. it could say that the network is been found ... but, trust me, sometimes is not true :-P [12:41] and additionally it says: "Currently pairs and schemas can't be edited, blahblah" ...so, Windows 95 is 100x better than ubuntu in 2014? [12:41] avatar_: http://pclinuxos2007.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-disable-ugly-gnome-metacity.html [12:41] ioria: yes, I know what you meant, but the problem's that command-line installation leads me to exactly the same place what standard installation. A kind of nice console GUI and so on. [12:42] avatar_: have you actually used windows ME? [12:42] avatar_: use xubuntu [12:42] it's awful [12:42] xfce feels old [12:42] rateder, avatar_: I would rather recommend Kubuntu [12:42] Xfce is nice now [12:42] rateder, avatar_: I a kind of tried XUbuntu. It was not stable [12:42] Just the design of kubuntu's website is enough to throw me off [12:42] rateder: it was crashing all the time [12:43] ConfusedPerson: so, there is NO SUCH KEY in the gconf-editor... can I use Xubuntu and keep all the software and settings? [12:43] avatar_: no, probably not. But you could just install xfce [12:43] instead of switching distros [12:43] avatar_: you can install xubuntu-desktop and keeping the installed programs [12:44] ^ [12:44] xfce4 is the DE ... xubuntu-desktop includes apps [12:44] k11, avatar_: I strongly advice you against doing it. I once installed it and it was completely unstable. [12:45] dinosaur: I had similar experiences with Xubuntu but i'm pretty sure it's the distro that's unstable [12:45] avatar_: yes, xfce package will only install the desktop. [12:45] not XFCE [12:45] ConfusedPerson: no, I installed xubuntu(-something?) package on my Kubuntu system and it behaved unstable [12:45] dinosaur: ran great for me. Used very little resources. Was fast. [12:45] dinosaur: depends on your actual setup and the errors that happen [12:45] dinosaur: We're not telling him to install anything xubuntu-related though [12:46] I did a strictly Xfce install. [12:46] XFCE != xubuntu [12:46] ConfusedPerson: kl1 told him to install xubuntu-desktop [12:46] Oh [12:46] . [12:46] Awkward [12:46] ConfusedPerson: Hess [12:46] dinosaur: that works. if you have issue come back with exact errors [12:46] ConfusedPerson: yes [12:46] ConfusedPerson: if XFCE behaves stable when there is not xubuntu, then it is perhaps the case [12:47] dinosaur: FUD [12:47] k1l_: there are other graphical environments that works, so I don't see much point in doing it [12:47] what is FUD? [12:47] dinosaur: like what? [12:47] ConfusedPerson: fluxbox [12:47] ConfusedPerson: KDE [12:47] !fud | dinosaur [12:47] dinosaur: I've never found a good linux DE [12:47] dinosaur: Please do not fall prey to, or spread FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) - it is not welcome here! Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt [12:48] I'm literally using OSX right now [12:48] dinosaur: we dont know what you changed on your system before you installed xubuntu-"anything" that made it break your system. [12:48] dinosaur: so stop making panic on installing xubuntu as a desktop [12:49] k1l_: it was practically fresh installation. Then somebody here told me to install xubuntu-desktop, I did it, and there was a plethore of things that did not work. Windows did not react to click, applications were impossible to close... I don't remember if that was exactly the case, but it was like that. People here told me to contact xfce support (AFAIR) [12:50] Hi all, I need to make my ubuntu 14.04 LTSlaptop an hotspot where other devices can cannect to internet via. How do i go about? [12:50] dinosaur: I mean things might've changed since then [12:50] and wihtout exact errors that is a nice story, but nothing more [12:50] k1|_ - my experience in fresh xubuntu install is that a lot of things did not work on some computers. [12:51] avatar_: I would suggest just installing xfce4 [12:51] If you need apps that integrate with XFCE you can install them individually [12:51] Your login screen prolly lets you switch between DEs (and you prolly know that) [12:53] ConfusedPerson: yea, but... is there any no-animation desktop available? I just want plain 2D windows and borders around them. Something that looks like Kickstart 3.0 [12:54] avatar_: there is a huge amount of desktops in the ubuntu repos [12:54] avatar_: just think about all the tiling stuff etc. but if you want an easy one look after Lubuntu [12:55] avatar_: There are no animations in XFCE as far as I know [12:55] SchrodingersScat, thank you [12:56] if there are, you can certainly turn them off [12:56] k1|_ but are there any that work as intended? there is a lot of useless stuff... and no desktop I have tried in the last 15 years has put the installed software in the GUI menu... maybe except of Mandrake7 or what it was. That was brilliant, but ever since then the GUI is worse and worse. [12:56] hope my question is understood [12:57] ConfusedPerson: where is the point in running a linux if you have to constantly repair it as much as you had a virus-loaded windows? [12:57] lol [12:57] point [12:58] if you dont want a linux desktop at all, where is the point in asking? [12:58] ConfusedPerson: or the whole system settings menu in ubuntu: there are like 3 settings in total, and none of those you want or need... [12:58] ConfusedPerson: mint version has animation [12:58] Hiyas all [12:58] avatar_: yeah they're becoming like Apple [12:58] they make decisions for you [12:58] k1|_ I want a unix desktop, such as was in Kicstart 3 [12:58] I don't mind it when apple does it though [12:59] maybe cinnamon? [12:59] KDE? KDE has lots of settings [12:59] ConfusedPerson: that is plain wrong. du you even know about gnome 3 basis? [12:59] ConfusedPerson: mint Xfce [12:59] sorry, but this is too much myths in here. please stay at facts [12:59] ConfusedPerson: has animation [12:59] k1l_: i was talking about Unity [13:00] ConfusedPerson: yes. and that is build on the gnome3 basis. unity is a shell on gnome3 [13:00] great conversation for [13:00] #ubuntu-offtopic. this is the support channel, so please ... [13:01] yes. so if there is no real support issue please put the "my best desktop is" discussion into the offtopic channel. thanks [13:02] hillary: that laptop got a wired connection? and you want to make it a wifi router? [13:02] k1|_ -- or the whole install process, you run synaptic, find something that might help you and install it: but how do I run it after installing? I know I had installed it, but with no launcher or any item in the menu, I have to write it down how was it called and probably find a man on what the commands were... what the hell?!?!?! [13:02] avatar_: nope. plain wrong. unity dash works with program names or tags. [13:03] kil_ It has a modem and i want to make it a wifi hotspot yes [13:03] sorry k1l [13:03] avatar_: and synaptic is not used since ages on ubuntu. so better try an actual ubuntu instead of staying on the old experiences [13:03] k1l_: It has modem [13:04] hillary: did you try the network-manager? it can offer to make a own wifi where others can connect [13:04] cfhowlett - so help me, because I have real problems, I upgraded to 14.04 and it is horrible: the metacity window minimize animation is back with no way to turn it off, scrollbars in browsers now jump to position when you click on an empty space and that makes them really useless, I can't find any settings on the metacity or any window management, all I can do is to pick up some preselected settings from distribution and that is it, I can; [13:04] t even find where the files are stored to view them. [13:04] k1l_:Kindly guide me how to go about [13:05] k1|_ what is unity dash?! [13:05] !ics [13:05] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:05] avatar_: really? [13:05] k1|_ really, no unity. [13:05] so what actual desktop are you running there? [13:05] !details | avatar_ [13:05] avatar_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [13:06] avatar_: and keep in mind: this is a volunteers help channel. beeing such aggressiv and demanding and badmouthing will not motivate people to help you more. [13:07] avatar_: http://pclinuxos2007.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-disable-ugly-gnome-metacity.html [13:07] You mentioned you had some error when trying to change the values? [13:07] !ics | hillary there is the way explained for the gui method with network manager [13:07] hillary there is the way explained for the gui method with network manager: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [13:08] ubottu: elaborate? after the upgrade to 14.04 suddenly things look different and work differently, how do I put it back? as simple as that. The font in the menus is screwed and the selected window text in teh programs toolbar is screwed. As if it was overwritten several times over. [13:08] avatar_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:08] ok let me try thanks [13:09] ubottu: Windows XP internet sharing: Start -> network and priinters -> right click on the connection your want to share and select "share internet", and you are done. What was wrong with that? [13:09] avatar_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:10] lol [13:10] avatar_: you're talking to a machine [13:10] avatar_: so since you make a secret on what desktop you run i can only guess: gnome2 aka gnome3-fallback. so congratulations: gnome removed all chances to customize that fallback like you could on gnome2. [13:10] ubottu: talking to bots has its magic [13:10] avatar_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:11] avatar_: if you mean "overlay-scrollbars" then install dconf-tools, launch dconf-editor and then remove the check on org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface -> overlay scrollbars [13:12] and make sure your theme you use is actually supported on gnome3 base [13:12] k1|_, so let me write this down... why does it have to be this complicated?! [13:12] avatar_: stop making drama! [13:13] avatar_: either you want your issue to be solved or you leave. this channel is not going to be wasted any more with your rantings [13:13] get a blog and do your ranting there, stick to actual support in here. [13:14] k1|_ hah, good point, but still, I did not create this problem, and I spend hours already on the upgrade [13:15] somebody made my life a pain and it hurts, is that hard to understand that people will rand when you hurt them? [13:17] Does anyone here know how I can have the keyring automatically unlock when I have auto login enabled with Ubuntu 14.10? [13:17] login is as root [13:17] Setting the same password has not worked now for several releases. I wish people would stop parroting the results of a google search [13:18] dont login as root! that is a real bad advice [13:18] I know [13:18] :-) [13:19] make sure your wifi is set to be used by all users in the settings in the network manager. [13:19] so that doesnt require a password to be available [13:20] k1l_, Not applicable [13:20] ethernet [13:21] k1l_, Also my main goal is to have the ability to connect to a vpn on the remote computer, I cannot do this when the remote computer has not been physically logged in [13:21] I don't have access to those credentials as the keyring has not yet been unlocked [13:21] setting auto login also fails [13:21] uh, ypns dont work without keyring, yes [13:22] As then I am presented with a further request to unlock the keyring thus I still do not have access to those credentials unless I physically go to the computer and unlock the keyring [13:23] What I would like to happen is for the auto login to also auto unlock the keyring [13:23] Meaning I do not have to make a trip upstairs and I can work on acquiring a mobility scooter [13:23] kidding [13:24] It's odd that no solution seems to exist for this [13:24] This for example is a total lie http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/disable-unlock-login-keyring-ubuntu-13-04/ [13:24] Paddy_NI it's possible that what you want, cannot be done [13:25] So I cannot connect my remote computer to a vpn over ssh until someone logs it in? [13:25] That pretty lame [13:25] Paddy_NI that's why you find no answers or solutions [13:25] *that;s [13:25] err [13:25] It seems to me to be a perfectly valid use case scenario [13:27] I used to be able to connect via VNC and then login the remote computer but I can not do this since VNC got B0rked on 14.04 [13:27] It still does not seem to be fixed on 14.10 [13:27] Paddy_NI, have you tried "available to all users" in NM ? [13:27] ioria, I have not noticed that option [13:27] ioria, I am going to run upstairs and have a look [13:27] brb [13:28] Paddy_NI while you're upstairs, unlock the keyring... [13:30] MonkeyDust, If I intend on using the computer then I have to.... [13:30] smart ass === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [13:32] ioria, Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets. [13:32] How can i check if a nslookup returns/not returns an IP in bash? [13:32] ioria, that is with the "allow all users" set from the vpn [13:33] I am genuinely dumbfounded. So there is no way of unlocking the keyring over ssh? [13:34] hi [13:34] I have also tried this to no success https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Keyring#PAM_method [13:35] I installed Ubuntu 14.10 a few weeks ago with encryption active on the whole disk and my home folder. It worked fine during the installation but when I turn on my computer and tries to enter the passphrase in the input nothing inserts into the box so I reboot my computer and the UI changes (unstyled) and then I can type in my passpharse and that works. So every time I do need to reboot my computer for it to work… When I boot it says GNU GRUB version 2 [13:35] Paddy_NI: i think the issue on that is that you are backdooring security enhancements. [13:35] I get a question about report every time I login as well [13:35] k1l_, I don't see it as backdooring [13:35] Paddy_NI: so you want to use vpn and such but on the other hand make that available to whatever runs or can login on that device [13:36] k1l_, It's simply allowing a user who is using ssh to access the keyring and unlock it [13:36] k1l_, If the computer is logged in then I can just "sudo nmcli con up id "VPN_NAME"" [13:36] If not then I cannot connect the vpn [13:37] The inner working are of no interest to me [13:37] Unless they result in a solution to my problem [13:37] Paddy_NI: i dont say you are hacking that computer. but it is the same as if a malicious user would do. so there is no easy "press here" button for that setup. [13:37] k1l_, Not really [13:38] Paddy_NI, try : password-flags=0 and add : [vpn-secrets] password=yourpassword [13:38] Paddy_NI: if the computer is logged in, its not available to everything on that machine or standing before that machine. [13:38] ioria, That seems plausible [13:38] k1l_, SSH [13:38] that is a total different thing you demanding autologin on here. [13:39] Paddy_NI: or ssh. [13:39] k1l_, If the hacker already has ssh then I could care less whether they can turn my vpn on or off [13:39] seriously mate [13:39] get with the program [13:39] :-P [13:39] They can see all of my files and pretty much erase my computer already with ssh access [13:40] I dont see why the keyring is sandboxed from the ssh session [13:40] Paddy_NI: i am just answering you why that setup is not thought of as a general usecase [13:40] k1l_, I really seriously doubt I am the only one trying to do this [13:40] It was the first thing I wanted to do once I purchased my vpn [13:40] you could set the kering manager to empty password if you wanted to. [13:41] k1l_, scroll back [13:41] lol [13:41] Paddy_NI: "i demand that" is not the same with "everybody wants that" [13:41] k1l_, I have demanded nothing [13:41] please stop misrepresenting this [13:42] Paddy_NI: then you could set the vpn program to be in sudoers to grant access [13:42] hmm... [13:43] I will try as ioria suggested first, however that means I have to remember each password for the VPN connections every time I want to use them [13:43] if it works that is [13:44] ioria, Do I enter "password-flags=0 and add : [vpn-secrets] password=yourpassword" as is with my details or is that meant to be appended to the nmcli connection command? [13:45] ioria, I find the use of spacing to be a little confusing too [13:45] double-spaced after the colon [13:45] Paddy_NI, edit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ConnectionName and under [vpn] [13:45] and after the closing square bracker [13:45] *bracket [13:47] Paddy_NI, restart with sudo nmcli con up id connection_name [13:47] brb [13:51] ioria, Do I add the colon? [13:51] should it all be on one line [13:52] password-flags=0 : [vpn-secrets] password=yourpassword [13:52] like above? [13:53] I guess making this machine headless will not be an option [13:53] If I use Ubuntu server then is the keyring done away with? [13:53] And if so what stores credentials? [13:54] well, that is a totally other setup [13:54] k1l_, not so much [13:54] Paddy_NI, sorry, no no colon [13:55] ioria, Does [vpn-secrets] need to be left as is or do I put something in there? [13:56] Paddy_NI, under [vpn-secrets] password=yapassword [13:56] ioria, So it is not all on one line? [13:57] Paddy_NI, no [13:57] [vpn-secrets] is on a new line? [13:57] oh [13:57] Paddy_NI, yes [13:57] lol [13:57] maybe I should leave this and accept defeat [13:58] Paddy_NI, lol [13:58] I wonder what other Ubuntu users do, especially those that have their computer is drastically different locations [13:58] I guess they have to hop on a bus to login the keyring... [13:59] Paddy_NI they go upstairs and unlock the keyring [13:59] MonkeyDust, You should really learn to read [13:59] derp [13:59] Paddy_NI i was being sarcastic [13:59] :-P [13:59] Paddy_NI: so what do you want to do after the vpn is activated? [13:59] rsyncing everything and then starting removing packages again - I will be able to recover if something breaks from backup. Am I right? [14:00] k1l, That is irrelevant [14:00] Paddy_NI: no. [14:00] yes [14:00] nosey people... [14:00] Paddy_NI: because if it doesnt need a desktop then there is no need for desktop and no need for that whole keyring setup [14:00] k1l, Ah yes [14:01] I require the desktop for somethings and not for others [14:01] dinosaur: in theory, yes. but since that's a VM, better make a copy of the disk image file on the host, before you proceed. [14:01] Paddy_NI: ok, i am done with you. good luck with your "i know all better than you" attitude and good luck in solving that issue [14:01] So it is required as an option [14:01] blackflow: once I tried it. I broke it on purpose. And it was impossible to recover... [14:01] dinosaur: with rsync or a copy of the disk image file? [14:01] blackflow: yes [14:02] dinosaur: lol [14:02] blackflow: with rsync [14:02] k1l, I am sorry I'm just sick of fatuous quibbling with people who can either A) answer the question or B) Not answer the question [14:02] blackflow: with rsync made to another disk [14:02] Those that cannot but insist on pulling threads just serve to annoy [14:02] dinosaur: you should do that from the single user mode [14:02] I do and have appreciated your help k1l [14:03] dinosaur: if you're using rsync, that is, and don't sync /dev, /proc or /sys [14:03] dinosaur: but really, the best course of action is to back up the VM disk image file (while it's off) [14:04] ciao [14:04] !list [14:04] LiceoProva: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [14:04] blackflow: I tried it in a lot of ways. It complained something about not being able to load the kernel or being unable to load GRUB. As far as I know, it is not even possible to sync with /dev/, /proc/ or /sync because you will run out of space. But if you're interested I can replay this scenario, just not right now. [14:05] Hello :) Could it be that some austrian ubuntu ppa's are down? [14:05] ciao [14:05] blackflow: I tried to recover GRUB using Ubuntu Server Installation CD. It failed. [14:05] blackflow: aha, then tried something else, and it allowed me to do something more, but the system was still not fully recovered. [14:05] dinosaur: I'm sure it can be done, you don't have to repeat it :) you probably done something worng [14:06] dinosaur: but really, just copy the VM disk image [14:07] do you have a good rsync command for backing the system up? It's hard to google for me, because my hardware resources are limited === morpheus is now known as Guest24182 [14:08] dinosaur: not really, just rsyncing root and excluding the dev, sys and proc, but keep in mind that only does the files, it won't sync the bootloader [14:08] dinosaur, arch wiki: rsync -aAXv --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* /path/to/backup/folder [14:10] dinosaur: and of course, exclude the /path/to/backup/folder too :) === thomas_ is now known as Guest39300 [14:11] blackflow: it is still going through /proc filesystem [14:12] can sb confirm my question? :) [14:13] lyze: confirm a question? [14:13] "Could it be that some austrian ubuntu ppa's are down" [14:13] Can anyone help on creating a launcher icon; when the file has to be run by "./mendel.sh" command? -> What should I write to .desktop file [14:14] dinosaur: pastebin your rsync command [14:15] qwerty1, http://pastebin.com/tuyABVG1 [14:16] I need to create a USB boot disk from a Mac. I will not be installing Ubuntu on my Mac, but on a PC. What would the easiest way to get that done? [14:17] bullium, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx [14:19] lyze, I've found that link, but the USB drive would be meant to be used to install on a mac === hardtail is now known as hardtail-afk [14:20] clear [14:20] ^ignore [14:21] I am having some wake-from-suspend issues. [14:21] Can anyone give me a hand? [14:21] fuzzybear3965: someone could, if you specified your problem [14:21] fuzzybear3965: describe your issues and wait for someone to reply, 1700 users are certainly not responding with "I do!" [14:22] I currently have my system set to suspend after 20 minutes of inactivity. === hardtail-afk is now known as hardtail [14:22] fuzzybear3965: which desktop environment? [14:23] When I used WOL to wake my PC up, this, morning it seemed my network module did not get loaded. [14:23] I am using the GNOME desktop environment. [14:23] Ubuntu 14.04. [14:23] Kernel version: 3.13.0-45-generic . [14:24] I want to know which log files to check and possibly change my suspend mode. [14:24] lyze: thanks, but... it does not launch the program. If in the directory I write "mendel.sh" then it does not work , but "./mendel.sh" work. Ideas? [14:24] I am, right now, changing these settings through the "power" application installed by default in Ubuntu. [14:24] qwerty1: because your current directory is not in your PATH environmental variable [14:24] sh mendel.sh === remline_ is now known as remline [14:24] qwerty1: echo $PATH [14:24] I would like to change these settings in terminal. [14:25] I've solved this problem with rsync. Exclude must be used three times. [14:25] Rather, I would like to see the settings in a file on my computer somewhere. [14:27] Could someone clarify "task" installation via apt-get? Per help.ubuntu.com, "Tasks can also be installed with apt-get using the syntax: ...^". It seems this has something to do with installing a collection of packages, but I thought APT already manage dependencies for packages? [14:27] lyze: "Exec=sh /home/....../RepRap/Software-master/mendel.sh" opens a terminal for 0.2s, and quits. It is not on the $PATH [14:29] hi [14:29] remline: AFAIR using task you can automatically set up, let us say, a LAMP server [14:30] remline: it's not for dependencies, but for groups of "top level" packages, like a metapackage in other distros [14:30] remline: think of it as logical grouping of not strictly related packages, for the purpose of performing a function, like a LAMP stack, as dinosaur mentioned. [14:31] qwerty1: we don't know what is in mendel.sh script [14:32] qwerty1: but honestly, I don't know what you're doing right now. This Exec=... command - do you type it in a terminal? [14:32] qwerty1: and what is not in PATH? [14:32] dinosaur thats a desktop file [14:32] qwerty1: what does it mean? [14:32] Thanks, so for example, is ubuntu-desktop a package, a task, or both? If I do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, is that somehow different than installing the ubuntu-desktop 'task'? [14:33] lyze: sorry, it was for you? [14:33] Hello, does anyone know a windows software that is able to function as a file manager for ubuntu? Right now I ssh with putty and use ranger as a file manager. But is there an alternative, something with a UI? [14:33] dinosaur, what was for me? [14:33] m1xm4ster: mc [14:33] lyze: "that's a desktop file" - I am asking you what it means. [14:34] dinosaur, oh. mr. qwety1 asked how he could create a .desktop file so that it runs the sh file [14:34] <_zoom_> Hi,,,,Looking for generic driver for usb scanner?any help? [14:35] dinosaur, what do you mean by mc? [14:35] lyze: no idea what is being done :). Can't he create a sh script with full path to the command he wants to run, then place it on the desktop [14:35] dinosaur: The directory, where the mendel.sh is located, in not on the $PATH list. The mehdel.sh is 2 lines, starting the pronterface for RepRapPro printes: "#! /bin/bash python ./pronterface/pronterface.py -c ./pronterface/.pronsolerc-mendel". With line "Exec=sh /home/m/Documents/3d/RepRap/Software-master/mendel.sh" the terminal opens and closes. Without "sh" at start, nothing. As mentioned, I need to start in normally in the direc [14:35] clear [14:36] ^ignore [14:36] I feel so bad [14:36] I think I"m too late for android development bandwagon. [14:36] m1xm4ster: I'm not exactly sure what you want, but mc is a linux file manager working in a gui console mode. Perhaps it is what you want. [14:36] Can anyone out there help me with my suspend issue? [14:36] People earning 220,000 dollar from android development projects which doesn't make sense to me. [14:36] !ot | megaloden [14:36] megaloden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:36] People complain Android isn't a profitable platform etc [14:37] fuzzybear3965: it's probably a graphics driver problem [14:37] qwerty1: I don't exactly understand the problem, but try to use full paths everywhere [14:37] fuzzybear3965: is it not coming out of suspend? [14:38] dinosaur, i also can't get it to work via a .desktop file [14:38] Hey guys, without lecuturing me on what this room is "for" and "not for", let me ask you guys how everyone is dohg? [14:38] lyze: is it possible to run this script at all? [14:38] idk i dont have the script [14:38] dinosaur: I'd like to start the program on Launcher icon. Where the full path should be used? [14:38] OOPs, I mean, "instaed of,," [14:39] i'v wrote a simple #!/bin/sh touch test.txt script [14:39] ./pronterface/pronterface.py - I would replace it with the full path [14:39] and all the similar occurences [14:39] twiler: Best asking that in #ubuntu-offtopic which is a general chat channel, rather than here [14:39] fuzzybear3965: talk in the main channel [14:39] twiler: if you already know what this channel is for and not for, why would you ask a question you know this channel is not meant for? [14:40] EriC^^: So that everyone can see what's going on? [14:40] fuzzybear3965: yeah [14:40] EriC^^: Okay. [14:40] let me try suspending here and see if my internet goes [14:40] Haha, it shouldn't. [14:40] What system log should I check for what modules are being loaded on wake from suspend? [14:41] twiler: by specifically stating that you don't want to be "lectured" you forced us to tell you not to use this channel for non-support related chat. [14:41] also btw. does somebody know why when i press ctrl+alt+f1 - f6 my computer restarts? [14:42] ubuntu 14.10 with xfce4 [14:42] I dont, know, IdleOne, maybe I just thought I'd be polite and ask how you are all doing before I just randomly blurt out what I needed.. sheesh, forgive me. [14:42] fuzzybear3965: lost the internet [14:42] you could have saved us all time by just getting to the point [14:42] twiler: As the topic says, this is a support channel, just ask your support question and see if anybody can help [14:43] it connected right back, after suspending, irc didn't continue though [14:43] EriC^: You're kidding me. [14:43] Don't worry, it's a mistake I won't give you the chance to correct again. [14:43] !ask | twiler [14:43] twiler: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:43] Oh, that's not what I'm talking about. [14:43] actually it just continued [14:43] EriC^: I mean that I lose my "networking module". I hope I'm saying that right. [14:44] EriC^^: I have no networks active. [14:44] dinosaur: THANKS! it works! [14:44] When I run "ifconfig" I only see lo (my loopback connection). [14:44] howdy just curious with the live usb , is it still using the casper-rw for persistant overlay thing?? [14:44] qwerty1: have fun :) [14:45] Thanks, morpheus, and Djones, I didn't know that it was wrong of me to make a little small talk bevofre I asked help of everyone/anhyone. I won't screw up again, and I apologize. [14:45] I don't see "eth0" or "eth1" (my mobo has 2 ethernet ports). Usually, I have all 3. [14:46] fuzzybear3965: ok, you could add something to /etc/pm/sleep.d i think that runs when you suspend or come back from suspending [14:46] add service networking restart or something [14:46] twiler: Its just because this can be quite a busy channel, so we just ask people to use it for support questions, but will point them to#ubuntu-offtopic for anything thats general chat or social questions [14:49] hi [14:49] EriC^^: Nothing?

You know what I mean? Like I imagine chat rooms just like a regular room: people break off into smaller groups of conversation, inside the main room, just liek a real room full of people would be, ya know? And, just like a eal room full of people, I wouldn't just walk up and blurt out muy question, I'd say, "Hey, there, how are you? Really, that's [14:51] cool, I am also well, but, I'll be dojng a lot better if you could help me out with 'x', and get it solved for me." Ya know what I mean? I guess it's my fault for taking the metaphor of a "chat room" too literally :D [14:51] I apologize again, guys, and it won' t happen again. [14:52] ? [14:52] twiler: you're still at it with walls of unrelated text [14:52] I think I acidentally configure irssi to ignore all messages (even relevant ones). [14:53] Because, I'm not seeing anything. [14:53] There is no activity on the wire. [14:53] fuzzybear3965: type /ignore ( if you can see this ) [14:53] blackflow, it's cool, don't worry about it, I said I was sorry, and it wouldn't happen again, so, it won'tk. [14:53] ANyway, here's what I need help with, guys, : [14:54] twiler: great, then stop apologizing and if you have a question, fire away :) [14:57] hey guys, anyone knows how to turn off this annoying sound on ubuntu, whenever i try to complete something via "TAB" ?

[14:58] fuzzybear3965: no, just try to put a script in sleep.d and see if it runs [14:58] is there someone i can ask a question quickly? im getting lost in the FAQ [14:58] touch /blabla or logger blabla [14:59] EriC^^: What is the purpose of that directory? [14:59] Do the scripts inside that directory get called when I try to suspend? [14:59] EriC^^: can you help me with the use of smuxi? [14:59] *directory get [14:59] fuzzybear3965: i think so, and when you come back from suspending [14:59] Okay. [14:59] ryan_332: Just ask your question, if anybody can help they probably will [15:00] right. i just wanted to ask if its possible with this client to connect to quakenet\cod2.wars [15:00] fuzzybear3965: use logger blabla, so you see if it's being run twice [15:01] Okay, I've never used logger before but I see how it works. [15:01] I will try this now. [15:01] Goodbye, EriC^^. [15:01] :( [15:03] Exogar, idk sorry :( [15:03] Or perhaps do you know the list of packages included in MiniUbuntu?

The config is exactly the same as my other servers which have no problems with ip chaning [15:49] Flugz: =) [15:49] Flugz: thanks for trying =) [15:49] MrSunshine, like I posted earlier , install kubuntu desktop then choose you desktop at the login [15:50] BluesKaj_: the same machine that have problems with ip is running as an isc-dhcp server aswell but that should't matter [15:50] big frekkin install for something i do not use dayly :/ [15:50] nispr0, NM overwrites the interfaces and resolv.conf files [15:52] BluesKaj_: so I can just remove network manger or do I need to edit some config file? [15:53] nispr0, i created a staic IP in my router by tieing it to theis pcs mac address, dunno if that's possible on your tho [15:53] err static [15:54] BluesKaj_: dont think I can do that, so wierd I have like 4 other ubuntu servers that dont have this problem [15:54] nispr0, another method http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [15:56] I am having a problem whereby my networking module is not getting loaded upon wake from suspend.

[15:58] BluesKaj_: thanks, look like you need to remove dns servers added by dhcp, wierd... [15:59] talaverameza_, "someone" does, but is that really what you need to know? [16:00] BluesKaj_: and the computer is outside of dhcp address range so I guess it's becuase of shit it added on first boot [16:01] Guest31653: No, I'm working on a theme for lightdm-webkit and want someone try the theme.. [16:02] Guest31653: For a feedback and to improve [16:04] nispr0, I'm not real knowlegable about server connections, but I'm assuming that tutorial will work for your machine. Also you'll need to edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base by adding nameserver IP, domain gateway, search gateway, and default gateway IPs [16:05] Does anyone have problems with networking module not getting loaded after suspend? [16:06] nispr0, just ignore the warning, and add the entries then save the file, NM overwrires this file as well if NM is enabled [16:06] talaverameza_, best to that question directly. "Does anyone ..." questions are unclear and unnecessary [16:07] Guest31653: Sorry for my bad english.. [16:07] fuzzybear3965: I have seen issues where it does not recover, but it is not that the moduled does not get loaded, it is that the network card does not recover [16:08] talaverameza_, no problem :) [16:09] Jpmh: What do you mean the network card does not recover? [16:11] fuzzybear3965: I mean that when I debugged it, a long time ago, the issue was that the network controller was not responding after resuming. === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [16:15] Jpmh: So, it was a hardware issue and not an OS issue? [16:16] fuzzybear3965: yes - at least as far as I remember it. What I did was add some code to the resume to "kick the controller" back to life. [16:17] Jpmh: So, it was not a hardware issue. [16:17] Jpmh: You could reload the network card back into the OS. [16:17] Jpmh: The problem was with the OS loading the card, not with the card itself. [16:18] Jpmh: If the problem was with the card you would never have been able to reload it. [16:18] Jpmh: It would not have responded to anything. [16:18] fuzzybear3965: not really, because the card should have recovered and in fact when I replaced it all was fine [16:18] Jpmh: When you replaced 'what'? [16:19] the problem as I remember it was that it saw the computer side but did not see the network side after the resume. In fact, disconnecting the cable and reconnecting even caused it to recover [16:19] this was a desktop and so I replaced the network card [16:19] Jpmh: Disconnecting 'what' cable? Do you have a wireless USB dongle or something? [16:19] Jpmh: So you did replace the network card? (As in, you purchased a new one)? [16:20] when I had the issue it was the ethernet connection to that card that I was losing [16:20] Jpmh: So you disconnected your card and then re-inserted it? [16:20] I did not need to purchase a new one, just swapped it woth a machine that stays up all the time, but basically yes [16:20] Jpmh: Ohhhhh. The 'cable' here is the ethernet cable. [16:21] yep [16:21] Jpmh: do you have the code that you used to "'kick the controller' back to life"? [16:22] fuzzybear3965: let me have a look - probably [16:22] Thanks.

[16:31] I am also a linux noob of the 0th order [16:31] Guest31653 he has a dvd connected to his tv. if I knew that it reads 8.5gb, that would be interesting [16:32] ni291187: there's a couple dvd-authoring programs, if you want it to be played on a traditional dvd player then you normally need to convert the videos to the proper mpeg format and structure. so something like devede can do the conversion and make an image for you. [16:32] ni291187, this ^^^ [16:32] RevEckzeff, do you not have your DSL setup in the ISP connection? [16:32] I have a virtualized Ubuntu running in VirtualBox, however it is running very slowly. The machine I am using is the HP Pavilion g7 Model#: 2215dx. The processor is the Intel Pentium B950 which does not support hardware virtualization, so I can only use 32bit VMs even though the systems architecture is 64-bit. Can anyone assist me? [16:33] ni291187: then you can burn it with anything that works for you, like the previously mentioned brasero (which may or may not author dvds as well, i forget) [16:33] Guest31653 I am using devede. can I use avconv for the conversion? [16:33] Blues: I am using the Connections Manager..if that answers your question [16:33] ni291187, yes, you can use avconv for transcoding [16:33] I am currently in my Windows partition, so I have access to the internets [16:34] Hello all. Was wondering if someone can shed some light on a problem that I am having. Fonts are not rendering correctly in unity-dash. But they are perfectly normal elsewhere (browsing, libreoffice, terminal, etc.) See here http://i.imgur.com/5UDHD6d.jpg [16:35] SchrodingersScat Can I use avconv to do a batch conversion? (Convert 21 videos into mpg - provided brasero or k3b can burn mph) [16:35] Blues: I have set up a DSL connection in the Connections Manager, yet it will not connect [16:35] apt-get update && upgrade Halhpplz try this [16:35] RevEckzeff, normally network manager just auto-connects with eth0, not setup required [16:36] err not=no [16:36] Greetings [16:36] My DSL requires login every connect...it is not configured to 'just do it' [16:36] I have attempted to install enlightenment 19 on ubuntu 14.04, and odd things are happening... [16:37] what?? [16:37] have u loaded all drivers? [16:37] like video [16:37] first, if I switch to enlightenment in the login menu, it requires a password, my password doesn't seem to work [16:37] RevEckzeff, are you on the job in a WAN situation? and what if any errors are popping up? [16:38] second: inside unity a menu which looks like an enlightement menu requests my root password from time to time [16:38] Blues: my internet is a WAN miniport, not on the job, home install [16:38] Guest31653 Avconv can convert a batch of videos? What format output is guaranteed to be burnable? which format input will be the most compact? [16:39] No errors are popping up that I'm seeing [16:39] third: when I attempt to open system monitor it flashes up for about 1/10 second and then closes again [16:39] ni291187, yes avconv can batch transcode. your other questions exceed m.y (narrow) range of knowledge. sorry [16:39] it asks for my DSL creds, I click OK, and it appears to begin the connection again from scratch.... === ricardo is now known as Guest16649 [16:40] Guest31653 I imagine that ffmpeg is a good gui / front end for avconv [16:40] Fourfire load all drivers and ubuntu restricted and then tell me and do apt-get update && upgrade [16:41] I was so happy when eth0 finally connected correctly! === Guest16649 is now known as rdomingues [16:41] first [16:41] Hi guys! Could someone please help me set up Space Engineers on Lubuntu? If at all possible? [16:41] yeah [16:41] boas pessoal [16:41] ni291187, false. avconv is a fork of ffmpeg. ffmpeg will return to ubuntu distros soon. I believe avconv and fmpeg will ... defork/merge in the near future [16:41] nbedi, how exactly do I load all the drivers? [16:41] hey all.. i keep getting prompted that I am low on disk space [16:41] but i'm not [16:42] and i dont understand why it comes up [16:42] Can someone help me out with a unity-dash issue? Fonts are not rendering correctly in unity-dash. But they are perfectly normal elsewhere (browsing, libreoffice, terminal, etc.) See here http://i.imgur.com/5UDHD6d.jpg [16:42] it started saying it at 1.1GB free now it says there's only 1.0GB free [16:42] ni291187: if you want a more manual approach you'll probably have to look into the tools used, like 'dvdauthor' is a more manual tool that says it can take mpeg2 and generate one. If you convert with avconv and then use one of the more automatic tools, it has a chance that it'll just ask you to convert them again, but not sure. [16:42] fisrt do sudo apt-get update && upgrade [16:42] i examine it and it says I'm only using 127GB of 3.4TB [16:43] !pastebin [16:43] 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.

[16:50] RevEckzeff, dpkg -s pppoeconf [16:51] I Follow all this steps, none resolve the problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [16:52] ioria: what does that command do? I might as well learn what the terminal commanns do as I'm going along [16:52] Thank you Blues [16:53] RevEckzeff, it just checks the presence of the ppp conf utility [16:55] If I go in alsamixer and enable LoopBack Mixing, the sound play well, but I cant change the volume in the sound settings, only with the alsamixer in terminal [16:55] Anyone can helpme? [16:56] Is like the sound driver is working right, but the settings sound in ubuntu can't take this and think that not have any output sound device... [16:57] marcelino671: did you tried to alter the playback device you are regulating [16:57] like headphone,maste and such ? [16:57] *master [16:58] you are using some volume applet right ? [16:59] I can update, but when I attempt to upgrade, the terminal crashes [17:03] Whir: Y [17:04] Blues: is that method idiot proof? [17:04] marcelino671: if you use pulseaudio, try to alter the 'Port' in the Output Devices section [17:04] Whir: I can play the sound if I active the loopback and max the phone volume in alsamixer, with this the sound work without any phone, but I cant change the volume in system settings->sound [17:05] RevEckzeff, nothing is idiot proof, but since it hasn't been removed the fix must work :) [17:05] marcelino671: if you fire up alsamixer, how many different output levels you can alter ? [17:06] I'm merely worried about borking my system...I've had issues with doing things in Terminal in the past....totally borked my input devices once... [17:12] Whir: I have pulseaudio installed here, I don't know how to change port, and I type pacmd I get: No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.

[17:15] RevEckzeff, well i find the terminal more convenient than guis, but caution is always in order with both, guis are merely a fancy front end for the commands run in the terminal anyway. [17:15] Whir: I never use this, but are installed here, when I open it says: Connection to pulse audio failed [17:17] marcelino671: cat /proc/asound/cards [17:17] what does this say?

[17:52] windows 8.1 [17:52] i wanna cold boot [17:52] urbanlife: grab Universal USB Installer from www.pendrivelinux.com [17:52] cold boot actually means to hit power from a switched off state [17:52] perhaps you mean install to bare metal [17:53] yeah sorry [17:53] thanks a lot bro [17:53] MonkeyDust: hehe, seems it still gave some trouble [17:53] not a problem :) i'm just a terrible pedant [17:53] I tried updating PlayOnLinux through adding their PPA (as per Ubuntu precise instructions - http://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html), there they say that I have to install wine:i386 to make stuff work, but when I do I get this huge dependency question - http://kpaste.net/9e83581f [17:53] is there any easy way to make any application jack aware ?

[18:02] v_Sully type alsamixer and check if it's activated [18:02] titus_: hmm, they don't tend to get supported quite properly. you'll need to check the exact model (run "lspci" in the terminal app to see) then see if the ubuntu repo drivers support that model [18:02] @daftykins ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso this is which i downloaded but my friends computer has intel processor. is that a problem?

[18:03] my bad, wrong word [18:03] the other thing - Itanium [18:03] it's just named that way because AMD were the first to come to market with a 64-bit architecture [18:03] daftykins: right. :) [18:03] blackflow: good shout! ty [18:04] daftykins: yw ;) [18:04] ah, clearance at last..thx daftykins [18:04] @ioria not sure if I even have or where to get.

[20:01] bekks: I think I need to be more specific. I sometimes install applications which make my system crashes. I don't do it often, but it is sometimes hard to predict it in advance. In such a situation I need to be able to recover quickly - as quickly as it is possible. So I think that I need the full system backup. Now, what's the most effective solution? [20:01] up to you. not much difference either way [20:01] ok [20:02] well hopefully this version runs better :) [20:02] dinosaur: So choose one of the gazillion backup methods/tools qhich can do a "full system backup".

[20:12] TimR: sounds like you lack a default gateway [20:12] DanDare: Do the guest additions version and the vbox version match? [20:13] I set it static ip [20:13] bekks, yeah I installed it from own Vbox interface. But like I said, after it didnt worked I tried own Ubuntu debs [20:13] TimR: run 'ip a' [20:13] TimR: er i mean 'ip route' [20:13] TimR, so i guess you haven't set it up correctly [20:14] yes I did [20:14] TimR, also gateway? [20:14] Hi guys, im running a LiveCD and a volume that i didnt knew exist shows up in file manager. It just shows "34gb volume" and i think it's actually my SSD that i thought was long dead. I can't see it in Gparted and i cant mount it either . How can i force mount it or format it etc? === antergos is now known as m3kk [20:14] DanDare: So they dont match now, since you arent using the official guest additions now.

[20:15] yes [20:15] vlt: thanks [20:15] TimR, also the outer interface? [20:15] DanDare: So uninstall all traces of guest additions debs, and install the official guest additions again. [20:15] bekks, ok [20:15] I have a virtualbox related question as well [20:15] m3kk: If that doesn’t tell you anything, try `fdisk -l` [20:15] i cant ping 8.8.8.8 [20:16] What is your problem DanDare?

Are you sure it is not because of your firewall? [20:19] I dont think that applies to me [20:19] DanDare, a question regardins the prev. one: i should be able to switch to the tty's in the live cd to or?

[20:23] I have a virtualized Ubuntu running in VirtualBox, however it is running very slowly. The host machine I am using is the HP Pavilion g7 Model#: 2215dx which is running Arch Linux. The processor is the Intel Pentium B950, which does not support hardware virtualization http://goo.gl/zK0lc4, so I can only use 32bit VMs even though the systems architecture is 64-bit. This seems to occur only with Ubuntu or Ubuntu based distributions such as Kubuntu and [20:23] Elementary (Those are the ones I have tried), however it works fine with the ubuntu/trusty32 vagrant image from Vagrant Cloud. Can anyone assist me? [20:23] m3kk: /dev/mapper is used for either crypt devices or lvm volumes. [20:23] how do you eliminate the launcher taskbar completely and use cairo dock instead? [20:23] m3kk: We can find out where this comes from. [20:24] m3kk: Does `lvs` list anything?

[20:35] i dont have patience today lol [20:35] ^^ [20:36] TimR, i would suggest trying the same thing out via a different os (maybe windows) then see if it works there [20:36] when it works then we know that its ubuntu related [20:36] else your setup is wrong [20:36] I just installed 14.10 and i have my laptop plugged into Ethernet and when i try to install wifi drivers it just hangs on applying changes and then i lose my connection. the same goes for downloading anything in software center [20:37] i have tried with 2 windows machines i can ping out just fine [20:37] i also can ping out with my other linux machines [20:37] m3kk: What live distro is this? None of the devices looks like your SSD to me. The loop devices there are some magic of that live system. [20:38] TimR, with the exact same settings?

[20:41] m3kk: That’s possible. You can have a file system compressed as "squash-fs", for example, and then have it appear much larger. [20:41] anyone know why my wired connection would be dropping out like that? [20:41] vlt: i can see it says squashfs, but is there no way it could be a sign of life from my ssd? [20:41] :/ [20:42] well how do I purge it? [20:42] m3kk: Nope, to me it doesn’t look like that at all.

I know how to create unity launchers for terminal apps, but I want to launch a bash script which in turn launches a daemon (webserver) and I'd rather the thing didn't open a terminal window, but instead ran quietly in the background, AND has its own icon. [21:04] can somebody send me a ubuntu 14.04.2 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py file?

[21:06] ops, can someone ban zarpes, please? it spams PMs to whoever talks in this channel [21:07] hello [21:08] hi [21:08] FlumeRouge: right [21:08] @geirha: aha! yes, process is running in the background. hmm, I guess I was hoping it would appear as active icon in launcher so that I could kill it via context menu there. [21:09] FlumeRouge: It should if you avoid running it in the background [21:09] @geirha: yes. trade-offs :) [21:10] FlumeRouge: Well why are you backgrounding it when you want the opposite anyway? [21:11] @geirha: if "Termina=true" then it opens a terminal window, which I don't want, and instead of it sitting in launcher with specified icon, it gets lumped into the rest of the terminals already launched. [21:12] @geirha: I probably just don't know the .desktop options well enough. need to poke around some more. [21:12] FlumeRouge: Well, you set Terminal=false obviously, but why are you backgrounding it? [21:13] @geirha: I just don't want it clutering up my workspace. If I alt-tab/tilde to cycle through my apps, it's just one more thing I'd rather not have to be concerned with. I'd prefer it sat in the launcher where I can see that it's running and terminate from. [21:14] FlumeRouge: Ah, now I get it. Nevermind then. :) [21:15] I didn't know it would spawn some kind of phantom window when you ran it in the foreground (without a terminal) === BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away [21:23] hello, this happens whenever i click on the additional drivers tab in the software-properties-gtk menu (14.04.2): http://pastebin.com/EWsDVUSe [21:25] @geirha: i don't have time to solve this right now. thanks for pithing in though!

I'll try krux's link then. [23:39] i'm running ubuntu in virtualbox. if i run startx and my user doesn't have a ~/.xinitrc file, it defaults to openbox an resizing the VM window also resizes the guest window (which is good). if i put 'exec xterm' in ~/.xinitrc, resizing no longer works (fixed screen resolution) [23:39] anyone know why this might be? [23:40] syntac: you shouldn't be running startx [23:40] sudo service lightdm start [23:40] i don't want to use lightdm [23:40] theres also gdm or kdm [23:41] my overall goal is to use SSH/X11 forwarding to tunnel xmonad from a different machine on this VM [23:41] syntac, then don't use ubuntu at all, kubuntu uses lightdm too [23:41] i can get that to work but the screen resolution is fixed. i know guest additions are installed and resizing works because of the method described before [23:42] this must mean that some other service is being started up that is controlling the screen resolution [23:42] or that you're doing it wrong. don't use startx [23:43] so don't use startx and instead use gdm or kdm? [23:44] lol before a graphical login manager exister startx was there i see no reason why he cant use startx.. [23:44] linux is freedom of choice..

[23:48] i'll check with vbox. it 'works' right now, but only when the default xinitrc is used. i looked through it but didn't see anything about why it might dynamically resize the window [23:49] krux, i am able to successfully tunnel the xmonad session on to my local machine [23:55] hello [23:56] hello [23:56] Could someone help me track down exactly why Chrome is immediately allocating at least 80% of my memory and crashing?
