One that will actually follow the latest point releases? [00:20] I have a VM running 14.04 and I'd like to use Python 3.4.3 but dead-snakes caps off at 3.4.0 [00:25] hi [00:25] hi [00:25] hi [00:26] SuperMario1: hi [00:26] k1l: Hey, k1l. [00:29] While installing Ubuntu 14.04, I have a SATA and an MSATA SSD, it's auto mounting my SSD as /dev/cdrom, so I can't complete the installation. Anyone familiar with this bug? I've tried to umount -f /dev/cdrom and /dev/sdb1. No luck. [00:30] Ive never used an msata. cant unplug one until youre finished? [00:31] msata is for / [00:31] the sata is for /home [00:31] ssd makes it boot in 9 seconds or less [00:32] fedora and other distros work fine, but Ubuntu seems to be quirky with the install [00:32] which is funny, because I had mint installed and it is ubuntu based [00:33] kruz: maybe check your boot settings in the bios [00:34] kruz: i'd try just installing without /home on a separate partition [00:34] kruz: after install you can add the second drive and move /home [00:34] hey everyone. I have a dedicated server currently and I was wondering how I would set up graphical view. running the latest version of ubuntu server(14.10) [00:34] imbezol: I need / on my msata, but it's mounting it as /cdrom [00:35] kruz: even if your sata isn't plugged in? [00:35] cryptodan: no need to change anything on it, boot settings is set to boot from sata, which is where my /boot /home /var and /tmp partitions are [00:35] EddieFTW: the whole point of a server is that you don't have graphics [00:35] imbezol: msata, it's a little hard to get to. it's an ultrabook, very thin [00:35] Ben, I kind of need it to access my backup storage because I don't know how to get the files from the backup storage via command line [00:36] hello [00:36] I know how to get into it with the cmd ftp so yea :P. I am switching to ubuntu server [00:36] Do you know how to do ssh by avoiding corporate firewall ? [00:37] maum_: contact the networking guy and ask him [00:37] maum_: I assume you mean port 22 is blocked? [00:37] yes [00:37] maum_: configure the server to listen on port 443 [00:37] kruz: give a pastebin of "mount" [00:38] kruz: I don't know how to do it [00:38] http://pastebin.com/uuLNUSY9 [00:39] Ben64: the other drive that is on there, the /dev/sdc is my USB stick which I'm currently using to try to install Ubuntu [00:39] iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 22 [00:39] and leave it on 22 [00:39] Can anyone help me with a udevadm trigger error on boot? [00:39] kruz: why do you have an iso9660 filesystem on sdb [00:39] maum_: keep in mind, if you are using apache or nginx that is listening on 443, you don't want to do that [00:39] Ben64: I don't [00:40] its mounted like that, so you do [00:40] I've deleted the partitions with both parted and fdisk. there was nothing on it [00:40] Ben64: I don't [00:40] kruz: I don't use it [00:40] so can anyone help me? I have an external hard drive as a backup storage and I was curious how I would move those files to the ubuntu server [00:40] I usually do it by graphical view but apparently that's a bad idea :P [00:41] kruz: do you know how to do it? [00:41] maum_: do what imbezol said with iptables [00:41] EddieFTW: its hooked up physically to the server? [00:41] yessir, Ben64. [00:41] that will need to be saved, or else it will only run in that one session until iptables is restarte [00:41] d [00:41] EddieFTW: cp = copy, mv = move [00:42] EddieFTW: rsync works great too [00:42] okay I'll try that in a second. one moment, just zipping up some files. [00:42] crap, laptop is going to die. Ben64 thanks, I'll use DD to wipe the drive once more outside of the ubuntu live disk [00:43] kruz: fdisk -l /dev/sd[a-z] [00:44] is your usb a 16 gig? [00:47] Ben64: [00:47] oops forgot to put mesage but anyways this has a weird set of cmds [00:48] going to msg u them [00:48] EddieFTW: not sure what you're talking about [00:48] what? [00:50] EddieFTW: you've got to be more specific... what has a weird set of commands [00:50] the hard drive. when you access it via the ftp cmd [00:50] It doesn't have the move/copy commands when I am connected @Ben64 [00:51] why are you accessing a hard drive via ftp [00:51] hi all =) [00:51] Ben64: its a "backup storage" provided by my hosting company [00:51] I assume its a hard drive lol [00:52] can you only access it using ftp [00:52] yessir. [00:53] then you use "get" to get a file and it will go in the directory you started "ftp" from [00:53] thank you so much ^^ [01:01] Has anyone here ever setup a local apt-mirror repository? I have setup the mirror.list file with Trusy and Utopic both 32 and 64 bit architectures, but tying it into apache2 is somewhat confusing, since I have the us.archive.ubuntu.com security.ubuntu.com archive.canonical.com and a few others mirrored to my drive. The instructions I have found online only address us.archive.ubuntu.com and pointing the simlink in www/html to the [01:01] ubuntu directory. The problem I am facing is that I have 4-5 different repos mirrored and they all have ubuntu directories. Can anyone help on this? [01:09] volUTFan, are you there?

I think I found the name [03:58] trying xrander --output [03:58] bodgfj: i really think you'll upgrade hardware before the expiration date arrives [03:58] ok [03:59] VolUTfan, if you see this, please message me [03:59] AegNuddel: well, if they are required i doubt it will run without at least some of those packages. what are you trying to install? [03:59] Would someone be able to help me install Ubuntu from grub? [03:59] ... what do you mean from grub? [04:00] puredata AegNuddel [04:00] I downloaded magic part.iso and am in a blue screen where at the top it says gnu grub [04:00] Would you be able to pm me and help me? It would be greatly appreciated [04:00] puredata aeon-ltd [04:01] AegNuddel: ok, and why do you want to install it but not the suggested dependencies? [04:02] I'm really confused [04:02] Bashing-om http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php perfect one [04:02] The thing is, I had Ubuntu, and then accidentally reformatted the drive [04:02] Connor____: magic part? as in this http://partedmagic.com/? [04:02] So now nothing will boot [04:02] formatting means clearing, you done deleted everything [04:02] Connor____, it's gone, Jim. [04:03] LinuxGold: Glad ya found what helps . [04:03] i think you'll need to look into recovery tools if you want anything back [04:04] Yeah, but someone was helping me before and helped me put a file onto a USB using a USB installation software [04:04] ok [04:05] My computer recognizes it, and can boot to it but I'm not sure how to install Ubuntu from where I am [04:05] Connor____: let's just start again, what do you want to achieve? a fresh install of ubuntu? [04:05] Yes please [04:06] Connor____: does that usb stick have a ubuntu installer on it? [04:07] I believe it does [04:07] Connor____: well when you boot it does it give you the option to try ubuntu and install ubuntu? [04:07] Let me restart it to make this clearer for you [04:08] When I boot, it goes to a blue screen with some interesting lines on it, and has a menu that I can traverse === def_jam is now known as eb0t [04:09] At the top it says gnu grub version 2.00-ubuntu2 [04:09] If I press c, I can enter some type of command line [04:09] Line [04:09] where did you get this ISO? [04:10] Hi [04:10] puredata aeon-ltd [04:10] I got it from someone's Dropbox who was helping me out. When I tried to create a bootable USB of Ubuntu, my PC was not recognizing it [04:11] Connor____, ? suggest you get the ubuntu .iso FROM UBUNTU. [04:11] got disconnected [04:11] oops [04:11] I did, but it didn't work that way.

[04:12] Connor____, I take it you have a working windows PC?? [04:13] It's not that I do or do nowant them [04:13] My PC currently has no os.

OK, first you need to get to a PC. THEN you get the ubuntu .iso. THEN you create a boot USB [04:14] Alright, thanks [04:15] AegNuddel: are you given the option to do anything? [04:15] no [04:16] Yes, I am in a menu that says at the top gnu grub version2.00ubuntu2 [04:16] AegNuddel: how are you doing this? apt-get? === bodgfj is now known as philwong [04:16] I used apt-get but it didn't tell me anything went wrong [04:16] I ed the s r at first [04:17] wut?

[04:38] just helping people for free who are really frustrated one way or another is really sweet [04:40] Hi, when I run users, it gives five times my user name. Do you know why? [04:41] you may have multiple entries for your user [04:41] That's possible in linux. User IDs are keyed numerically, but they can share the same name [04:41] hi how to mount a network drive which is not in local lan? [04:42] for example do i need to specific the port number? [04:42] kelvinella: Do you know about port forwarding? [04:42] kelvinella: actually, scratch that question, what kind of network setup do you have? [04:43] Chunk2: I have just logged in once through GUI, though. [04:43] sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/user/.smb,uid=1000 //123.123.123.123:5000/dir /mnt/tmp ?? [04:44] Chunk2, originally I have sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/user/.smb,uid=1000 //192.168.0.10/dir /mnt/tmp [04:44] mojtaba: look at your /etc/passwd and see if there are multiple entries for your name. If there are, then my initial hypothesis was correct. [04:45] but now I am outside the LAN network and it is NAS with port number 5000 [04:45] Chunk2: There is just one entry. [04:45] kelvinella: read about NAT and port forwarding. [04:45] mojtaba: then that wasn't the problem [04:46] Chunk2, I already port forwarded. My question is do I need to put //123.123.123.123:5000/dir instead of just //123.123.123.123/dir ?? [04:46] EriC^^: I was never able to solve the problem with the cli [04:46] is it possible to have hotcorners with dual displays, on the edge where monitors meet? i ahve tried with sticky edges on/off and i cant get it to do hotcorners for that edge [04:47] EriC^^: so I went and got the external monitor, plugged it in, and fixed it through the GUI [04:47] Chunk2: Do you know what is it then? [04:47] in conclusion, cli sucks? [04:47] :P [04:47] mojtaba: nothing comes to mind [04:47] kelvinella: read about NAT and port forwarding. The short answer is maybe. It depends on how the port is forwarded. [04:47] Does anybody knows why when I execute users, there is 5 entries of my user name? [04:48] Chunk2: thx [04:49] Chunk2, what do u mean? === Yukkii is now known as Yukkino [04:58] how do i clean up all these older kernels [04:58] after updating [04:58] If a superuser gets a bad cold, do you give h/im/er/ze sudofed?

Cheers ;) === knightCorvi is now known as knight_corvi [05:33] hey guys, can someone tell me how to change the audio output, from command line? [05:34] it works just fine in the gui sound config tool, I can select from multiple "Play sound through" outputs, but I'd like to script this somehow [05:34] BlackDalek: you have the right grafix drivers loaded? [05:34] !sound | skwishy [05:34] skwishy: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [05:34] lotuspsychje: that all works, but I'd like to do it from bash [05:35] I have whatever graphics Ubuntu deemed necessary when it installed the OS. [05:35] BlackDalek: can you check sudo lshw -C video [05:35] lotuspsychje: also, I would like to somehow detect what my current sound output is set to, via a python script [05:36] lotuspsychje, I checked it. It generated results... what info am I looking for? [05:37] BlackDalek: what driver shows after driver= [05:37] Hello, are there any fuse filesystems that would allow mounting an existing read-only mount, and allow me to rename folders (keeping changes in file(s) or a database) ? [05:38] lotuspsychje, it says driver=i915 [05:38] BlackDalek: should be good indeed [05:38] lotuspsychje, the product description and vendor details sound correct too. [05:38] lotuspsychje: I think maybe pacmd and pactl to control pulseaudio is what I'm looking for, at least according to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/14077/how-can-i-change-the-default-audio-device-from-command-line [05:39] BlackDalek: try start libreoffice from terminal, and see if you got any errors from there [05:43] lotuspsychje, I tried starting impress from terminal and loaded up my presentation and started slideshow at point where the trouble is... nothing was generated in the terminal, errors or otherwise. :( [05:44] BlackDalek: so the flickering must come from graphics i think [05:45] BlackDalek: you could try tweak compiz with lower graphics settings with ccsm or unity-tweak-tool [05:45] BlackDalek: or check syslog and dmesg logs for errors [05:46] BlackDalek: you have this flickering in any other program? [05:47] just for the info Bq will hold a third flash sale with ubuntu phones today, more info at #ubuntu-touch === duckey is now known as rocknrye [05:48] lotuspsychje, I've not noticed it on any other program. As far as I know it is unique to OpenGL transitions in Libreoffice Impress. Not everyone experiences it, but there are reports of other users with same problem. No solution seems to have been found but the consensus seems to be that LibreOffice is not at fault and the fault is with user's graphics or OpenGL drivers.... [05:50] BlackDalek: yes, thats what i tought..i would try everything to tweak grafix candyeye, see if it helps === mega is now known as Guest22931 [05:50] BlackDalek: disable active blur in unity, and tweak other settings [05:52] I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04 LTS but, the installer says I dont have enough room to install.

[07:25] can't find it on the cannon downloads either. [07:31] CharlotteFields: for the most part the PPD is bundled inside windows postscript drivers, you have to extract them using something like cabextract if the regular archive manager doesnt open it [07:31] so...the install cd or just getting the windows driver would be fine (then doing as you said) ? [07:32] I ended up installing some linux driver i found instead...but i think it's the full software suite too :/ [07:32] CharlotteFields: yes [07:32] but thank you anyway, I did it in the past and forgot how === byaru666 is now known as byaruhaf [07:43] Hey all - I'm looking to get wildcarded dns entries on 14.01 - I disabled NetworkManager's dnsmasq and installed a full copy - nslookup and digg are both resolving correctly but firefox isn't going through dnsmasq for any *.local domain lookups - why might this be? [07:43] CharlotteFields: Looking at Canons webpage they even offer Linux packages? No idea how well they work tho. You could probably rip the PPD out of the debs at any rate [07:43] yeah i just installed a package...should have looked for the ppd. [07:43] * CharlotteFields facepalms [07:46] hateball: doesn't seem to be in there, I went through common and mg2500 debs [07:48] CharlotteFields: it's in cnijfilter-mg2500series-4.00-1-deb.tar.gz [07:48] I don't have that :/ [07:49] what the heck did i just install.. eugh [07:49] CharlotteFields: http://supportdrivers.info/canon-pixma-mg2560-drivers-for-win8_7_mac_linux/ second driver from the bottom [07:49] is what I looked at [07:50] i just got scangearmp-mg2500series-2.20-1-deb.tar.gz [07:50] well that contains the scanner bits it would seem [07:50] but i dont know how to uninstall it now, i dont want it conflicting with CUPS [07:50] well how did you install it? [07:52] ran install.sh after looking through it the script seems to pick up --uninstall argument [07:52] the things here have an install script that also seems to offer uninstall [07:52] hi, does anybody know how i can get a list of installable programs with sudo apt-get?

[07:59] uninstall isnt mentioned there hateball [07:59] CharlotteFields: ugh, gonna have to read through the script then I guess [07:59] but in the install .sh --uninstall is an option with a switch further down the file..

[08:40] trinity nope. [08:40] :(((((( [08:41] trinity save early, save often. [08:46] ubuntu-studio, since I never saved will mousepad have saved everything in RAM rather than a text file temporarily?

[08:48] All I did was upgrade [08:48] EriC^^ you around? [08:49] White_Cat, I'd guess a kernel upgrade that grub didn't fully capture [08:50] so I would need live cd then?

[09:21] Trinity: mousepad ? [09:21] text editor [09:21] Trinity: don't know that editor so can't answer [09:22] EriC^^ is it normal for ubuntu to uninstal efi like this? [09:22] ikonia, same for LeafPad [09:22] Trinity: don't know that editor either [09:22] or is it not installed by default because its live cd? [09:23] White_Cat_: does blkid /dev/sda2 show the same uuid? [09:23] White_Cat_: no [09:23] uid does match [09:24] but there were 2 uids in the first command [09:24] efi is fine cause you're getting grub [09:24] well second is for backup drive [09:24] so kernel got nuked? [09:25] maybe [09:25] Hello. When I create a file (or directory) it gets permissions 0644 (resp. 0755). How can I configure for one directory and all its subdirectories that new files (or dirs) get 0664 (0775) permissions? [09:25] did u hold shift and try an older one? [09:25] (I could put that directory to an extra file system if necessary.) [09:28] vlt: i maight be wrong but I'm not sure you can do that on a per-directory basis. The permissions are usually set according to your umask which is a global [09:29] EriC^^ shift key? [09:29] White_Cat_: yes [09:29] I am unsure what that is [09:29] you mean on grub prompt? [09:29] before that [09:30] hi, what's the defacto way of enabling ipforwarding on ubuntu? sysctl.conf? or does ubuntu have any "special" config file for this? [09:30] I dont remember ever doing that but I can try now if you like [09:30] to get a grub menu [09:30] I directly get to the grub prompt instead of being given other opotions [09:30] mcphail: Hmmm, and how can I set this umask? [09:30] should I reboot? [09:31] White_Cat_: ok, type exit then reboot see what happens if you get a grub prompt restart and hold shift and choose an older kernel [09:32] vlt: actually, see if this helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44534/how-to-set-umask-for-a-specific-folder [09:32] rebooting === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [09:33] first I am trying a regular boot [09:33] ok [09:34] mcphail: Thank you! [09:34] I got a general protection exception [09:34] its red with plenty of text [09:34] reboot and try shift? [09:35] yeah [09:35] vlt: never tried that way so don't know if it works. I always used a more complex approach with incron scripts [09:35] vlt: i wouldn't recommend my way ...:) [09:37] EriC^^ I cant === anton is now known as Guest61860 [09:37] it complains about an invalid environmental block and near instantly goes to the red screen [09:38] I installed ubuntu yesterday, and during the process my computer downloaded a bunch of packets. However now once it's installed and I'm by the desktop, I have no internet connection. [09:38] So I had internet connection during install, but not afterards. [09:38] What could be the problem? [09:38] frimend: the installer comes with certain "driver" packages by default [09:39] frimend: the installed system maybe missing them - sometimes due to legal requirements [09:39] ah [09:40] come to think about it, I did specify that I picked "only drivers relevant to my system" instead of "huge package of drivers" [09:40] does mac use ext4 format? [09:41] or FAT? [09:41] sheer: do you mean OSX or ubuntu running on a mac [09:41] i mean OSX on mac [09:41] it uses jfs === morpheus is now known as Guest72078 [09:41] ikonia: hfs, surely? [09:41] error: invalid environmental block [09:41] <_RadioHead> . [09:41] sorry fat fingers [09:41] hfs [09:41] sheer: it doesnt use any of them [09:41] then to the general protection exception [09:42] EriC^^ should I boot to live cd again? [09:42] sheer: if you need help with the mac be aware of ##macosx [09:42] sorry #macosx [09:43] Hi , how to convert multiple .jpg image file to .eps image file using convert command? [09:44] ,convert [09:44] my rc.local is empty on 14.04 [09:44] ajnr, imagemagick if I'm not mistaken [09:44] a tutorial is asking me to 'add' a line to it. [09:44] EriC^^ I was in this situation before then we built/installed kernel and it was fixed [09:44] hadifarnoud: you should not need to do that [09:45] hadifarnoud: there are very few situations that should be using rc.local [09:45] ikonia: http://safesrv.net/setup-openvpn-with-obfsproxy-on-ubuntu/ [09:45] how should I change this step then ikonia? [09:45] which is the correct kernel anyways [09:45] hadifarnoud: that guide in my opinion looks poor [09:45] it listed 4 entries where they were pairs [09:45] yeah, that's the only one I found on obfsproxy with ovpn [09:45] hadifarnoud: a big problem is probably due to how old an dout of date it is [09:46] Guest72078, I have used convert command for single file and it works , but for multiple file say I have 1.jpg, 2.jpg and then if I gave convert *.jpg *.eps I got the file name as *1.eps, *2.eps like that [09:46] ikonia: can you please tell me what should that step be? [09:46] hadifarnoud: that whole guide is wrong/bad - so I'm not going to update 1 step when the whole guide looks poor to me [09:46] ajnr, phatch photo batch converter is the app [09:46] ajnr: you need to explore "for" syntax in the shell, which is probbaly best done in a more specific channel === andrex|off is now known as andrex [09:47] hadifarnoud: you can still use rc.local if you want though [09:47] ikonia: but what should be in it? [09:47] nothing [09:47] it's empty as it's pretty much not used these days [09:47] I just add the line? that's it? [09:47] mcphail, can you give some example [09:47] hadifarnoud: I advise against it, but if you want to [09:47] without 'exit 0' ? [09:47] ajnr: mogrify -format eps *.jpg [09:48] ikonia: there is no other guide for what I'm doing. so, I'm not bothered [09:48] Ben64, okey [09:48] I am bothered [09:48] I'm not going to advies you to follow a bad guide [09:49] ikonia: dude, unless you have the time to update me on each step, I can't do it. [09:49] ajnr: for file in *; do convert $file -whatever -synatx - the -command -uses; done [09:49] mcphail: so much more difficult than what i posted above :) [09:49] hadifarnoud: I'd be asking myself why there are no other guides, eg: it's a bad setup [09:49] ajnr: but that breaks if any files have spaces in the filename. As I said, probably best discussed in a more specific channel [09:50] ikonia: it's perhaps because very few people use ovpn to bypass internet censorship in a country like Iran [09:50] it works with the Ben64 idea . Thanks [09:50] Ben64: missed that ;) [09:50] hadifarnoud: I don't believe so, I beleive it's because that guide is bad and that setup/concept in that guide is bad/wrong [09:50] norman ovpn is not working as they use deep packet inspection to detect it ikonia [09:51] ikonia: how can I hide my openvpn footprint against a damn good firewall? [09:51] I'd love to do it another way [09:51] hadifarnoud: that is a different question [09:52] the guys in ##security maybe able to offer more detailed options [09:52] trust me ikonia, this the best option. as I said, nobody cares to write a guide for poor guys in Iran/China in English [09:52] White_Cat_: sorry back [09:52] hadifarnoud: I don't believe it is the best option, as I've said, [09:53] alright, I googled around a lot. I'll ask in IRC too ikonia. [09:53] White_Cat_: yes boot the live usb and mount and chroot as earlier === svetlana- is now known as svetlana [09:56] I tried to set a new UMASK value in /etc/login.defs but it's ignored on login. Then I found ~/.profile which has a commented umask command. I set that to a new umask, logged out and in again but get still the pld one. Any idea how to change the umask for the user? [09:56] vlt: are you creating the files from the terminal or the gui filemanager? [09:57] how to check current connections to my linux? [09:57] how to check current connections to my linux??? [09:59] ??? [09:59] ok [09:59] hi everyone... [09:59] can someone tell me how to check my connections [09:59] ? [09:59] umbra_purus: patience [09:59] umbra_purus: what do you mean? [09:59] ping or telnet @unbra_purus [10:00] vlt: i think ubuntu still uses 2 different ways to control umasks - the traditional way and pam_umask. For the latter, edit /etc/login.defs and log back in. On an old debian machine just now so can't check [10:00] hi, so I have the livecd for 14.04, but when I boot it, it panics complaining about the radeon drivers. I have a modern ATI card in my machine. how do I boot it in VESA or something? [10:00] what connections are currently in my pc? [10:00] nmcli con status [10:01] you can use iptraf or iftop [10:01] me? [10:01] to view connection to your host [10:01] yes [10:01] or netstat -tuln umbra_purus [10:01] anyone connect to you [10:01] !nomodeset | plantain, [10:01] plantain,: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [10:03] how can I check if someone else is connected? I've used netstat -tuln but how can I read it? [10:03] White_Cat_: type dpkg -l |grep linux-image [10:03] sure [10:03] umbra_purus: netstat will show you all connections, you have to figure out what it means [10:04] EriC^^ pmed you the paste [10:04] can someone help me format a corrupted external HDD? [10:04] using linux :) [10:04] ubuntu in fact [10:04] apt-get install iptraf [10:04] sheer: use gparted [10:04] mcphail: I need this umask for users that create files and folders with gui file managers and programs like office. [10:05] dont use gparted [10:05] please you iptraf [10:05] gparted is fine [10:05] mcphail: I edited /etc/login.defs but see no effect. [10:05] if you want to recover files from it first I suggest follow DIY Parts tips in "Recoverying files in corrupt hdd" [10:05] recovery wasn't the question at all [10:05] vlt: i vaguely remember nautilus has a hard-coded umask which you can't change. Don't know if that has altered since i last looked a few years ago [10:06] He even gives tips about using only uncorrupt parts of the disk to store your files [10:06] umbra_purus, is that a #ubuntu resource? [10:06] what is DIY Parts tips? [10:06] sheer: you want to format? use gparted [10:06] EriC^^ why would there be four of each kind of linux image? [10:07] ben, downloading it [10:07] nop. [10:07] go check DIY Parts in youtube. it's a channel [10:08] White_Cat_: older kernels [10:08] ok ty [10:08] umbra_purus: sheer is asking about formatting, not recovery [10:08] "use gparted" [10:08] umbra_purus: For recovering files, I stringly suggest professional support instead causing even more damage. [10:09] *strongly [10:09] he does not want to recover here [10:09] Ben64, he was giving me a heads up [10:09] White_Cat_: you can try to purge the last one or modify grub to boot an older one by default [10:09] thanks guys [10:09] bekks: actually the tips he gives are really helpful in that video. I suggest, if you're insterested in finding out if my info is good, check the video [10:09] svetlana: I was answering to his suggestion of "DIY Parts" for recovering files. [10:10] umbra_purus: doubtful. you should never recover to the same drive [10:10] ok [10:10] good word [10:10] EriC^^ how exactly can I do that? [10:11] mcphail: The umask I see when running the umask command on the terminal ist still 0022. How can I let the value I set in /etc/login.defs affect this? [10:11] In windows bootloader you get a 5 second delay to choose your os, is there a way to do this similarly? [10:11] it would defualt to a certain one [10:12] I just am worried about future manifestation of this [10:12] vlt: 0022 is the default. Whats the actual goal you are trying to reach? [10:13] grub problem: just bought the DELL Precision m3800 Developer Edition. Used a 14.04.2 USB to create a /home partition. Upon reboot the Dell Restore Factory Settings and Diagnostics are gone. I verified that those partitions are still on the SSD, but grub doesn't see them. What to do? [10:13] bekks: I want new files and directories created by users to have 0664 (resp. 0775) permissions. I want this in one firectory and its subdirectories only (and could put this on an extra file system if necessary) but if that's not so easy I could live with a system or user wide setting. [10:13] grub should not see the restore partitions [10:14] White_Cat_: type nano /etc/default/grub [10:14] I just did a rm -rf , is there a tool available to undo this? partition type is ext2... [10:14] White_Cat_: add a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT [10:14] ikonia, it did before I clean installed [10:14] !undelete | rhalff [10:14] rhalff: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [10:14] Guest72078: seems odd that it should [10:15] White_Cat_: then type update-grub [10:15] hateball, thanks [10:15] I suspect a custom setting but have no idea where to start [10:15] EriC^^ done [10:16] vlt: Thats something you wouldnt touch the global umask setting at all. Instead you would have to set ACL modes accordingly, which is not that trivial. [10:16] so it will give me the option to select which kernel to use? [10:16] will it have a default one it automatically selects? [10:16] if I do a remote reboot it should still boot [10:16] I got error install wkhtmltopdf in docker with ubuntu 14.0.4 E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/elfutils/libelf1_0.158-0ubuntu5.1_amd64.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.23 80] [10:16] [10:16] bekks: With setfacl? [10:16] vlt: Yeah. [10:17] noegry: i had ip fetching issue this morning, must be the servers [10:17] vlt: Untested example, like this: setfacl -dm u::rw,g::rw,o::r /shared/directory [10:18] ciao [10:18] EriC^^ should I reboot? [10:18] White_Cat_: you should select advanced and choose one [10:18] duno bt rmt boot [10:18] about remote boot === desmond_ is now known as desmond\ === desmond\ is now known as desmond [10:19] as in "sudo reboot now" [10:19] it should boot on its own unattended [10:19] White_Cat_: So try it now? [10:19] not really trying a network boot [10:19] EriC^^ rebooting now unless there is something else I need to change [10:20] it might boot the latest kernel [10:20] if the timeout is set [10:20] bekks: Thank you. Could you try to explain this? In short? [10:20] I commeted out the timeout, no? [10:21] oh hidden timeout [10:21] grub default is 0 [10:21] now it should show grub [10:21] yeah [10:21] r u at the pc now? [10:21] yeah [10:21] but I wont always be [10:21] hello, question: i would like to forward all requests to eth0 port 8080 to a docker container running inside the machine, basically from 100.78.112.49:8080 to 172.17.0.2:8080, is there any direct way of doing this in ubuntu? [10:22] try it now [10:22] vlt: you would have to mount your filesystem with ACL support, and then you would set the ACL permissions to RW (read write) for the user and group, and to R (read only) for all others. [10:22] ok [10:22] if the [10:22] bekks: Thank you. [10:23] older kernel boots, purge the new one and uncomment and update-grub [10:23] or do i need to install apache2 or something for this [10:24] fritzroy15: you need to create an iptables firewall rule. [10:24] older kernel seems to be booting [10:25] how can I purge the newer one? and wouldnt it come back with upgrade? [10:25] rhalff: /dev is created when you boot, it should reappear if you reboot [10:26] bekks oh thanks, forgot about iptables :) [10:26] White_Cat_: sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-46-generic [10:28] it did quite a lot [10:28] I want to attempt to reboot to see if I can, is that ok? [10:28] ok [10:29] uncomment if you want [10:29] I can log in to Ubuntu with VT but can't get in as my main user to a GUI [10:29] isomorphismes: what happens? [10:30] isomorphismes: wht happens when you login on loginscreen? [10:30] it plays the Ubuntu sound and puts me back to the login manager [10:30] a couple reboots ago I could get in with some window managers but not others [10:30] isomorphismes: login on VT and see with "ls -al " what stuff is owned by root [10:30] I can get in with *other* users to the GUI [10:30] in that users home directory [10:31] .Xauthority [10:31] should be owned by me, yea? [10:31] yes [10:31] perfect [10:31] thansk so much, I'll let you know how this goes [10:32] isomorphismes: sudo startx can do that jsyk [10:32] *cause this [10:32] should I chown me:me everything root owns in ~ ? [10:32] or if one runs gui programs with sudo. [10:32] error invalid boot environment is what I get EriC^^ [10:32] isomorphismes: well not everything. .gvfs is owned by root [10:33] or perhaps chown me:root ~/* ? [10:33] it then booted to ubuntu though [10:33] IM GONNA HACK THIS SERVER AND YOU ARE GONNA TASTE MY SHIT [10:33] White_Cat_: i dont follow, did you uncomment? [10:33] isomorphismes: other stuff needs to be looked at. but i think only .gvfs, the rest is fromstarting it with sudo [10:33] hahahahahahahahahaha [10:33] xD [10:33] uncomment what? [10:33] how do I get out of the gui from my other user back to the login screen? [10:33] you mean slient boot? [10:33] no [10:33] it gave me the list of booting to ubuntu or advanced options with a 10s counter [10:34] I didnt touch anything [10:34] isomorphismes: user:user is the general setup in the users home [10:34] it booted to an error which booted to ubuntu [10:34] White_Cat_: in etc...grub , did you choose the same kernel you booted earlier [10:34] it works for now but I would prefer forgoing the error :) [10:34] I didnt choose, it picked on its own [10:34] I have access to my ubuntu server [10:35] EriC^^: sudo startx does what? [10:35] I can check grub if you wish [10:35] isomorphismes: it causes issues with filepermissions like you got [10:35] isomorphismes: you dont use startx on ubuntu. [10:35] isomorphismes: you should not use startx ever, and you should not use sudo so cavalierly [10:36] k1l_: so like if I ran sudo chromium-browser that could have caused it? [10:36] yes [10:36] yeah. stop using sudo for everything [10:37] sudo make me coffee [10:37] use gksu if you have to isomorphismes [10:37] running stuff with sudo is a bad idea. you really need to know why you need to run it with root permissions and not just "to test" [10:37] ^ [10:37] k1l_: oh ok. I found hat instruction looking up how to do things in awesome. This all started when I was editing /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua [10:37] I have overclocked Haswell CPU with ubuntu 14.10x64, but the CPU frequency is not going down in idle, i have enabled speedstep/EIST etc. in efi. The strange thing is it is working fine in Windows. I have found a post where someone got hte same problem with ivy bridge cpu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998061 . Does anyone know how to fix this? [10:37] i can't really think of a reason you'd ever need to run chromium as root [10:37] isomorphismes: you are backdooring your own systems prevention agains malicious stuff. like you make a welcome sign for all hackers [10:38] EriC^^, just found out I pressed ^C in time :) I meant the dir with all my development code not /dev [10:38] rhalff: oh ok :) [10:38] Ben64: what should I use instead of startx? I got it from Arch documentation so makes sense it could be inappropriate in debian. [10:38] isomorphismes: start the lighdm [10:38] are you on debian? [10:39] is the heartbleed issue fixed? [10:39] that will handle the root stuff by itself [10:39] umbra_purus: since ages, yes [10:39] is the heartbleed issue fixed???? [10:39] EriC^^: What's the difference to gksu? I never use it unless the instructions I'm saying explicitly say to do so. [10:39] isomorphismes: sudo service lightdm start [10:39] like gksudo gedit does the same as sudo gedit so I just started doing the latter. [10:39] no it doesn't do the same [10:39] I'm on ubuntu 12.04 [10:40] is the heartbleed issue fixed???? [10:40] isomorphismes: dont use sudo with GUI. [10:40] and why would you need to run gedit as root??? [10:40] k1l_: how do I start lightdm? from VT? [10:40] EriC^^ is there anything I need to do? [10:40] the error will show up on each boot I imagine [10:40] Ben64: eg sudo vi /etc/.../configfile [10:40] vi is not gedit [10:41] isomorphismes: dont use sudo with GUI. [10:41] k1l_: Is it really an issue on a laptop? [10:41] update-grub ? [10:41] isomorphismes: where does laptop has anything to do with this? [10:41] Ben64: instruction manuals aimed at newbies will say gksudo gedit instead of sudo vi to edit config files. [10:41] systemwide ones [10:41] is apt-get's --install-suggests the same as --install-recommends? [10:41] isomorphismes: sudo service lightdm start , to start lightdm from a VT [10:41] I'm sure it was sudo startx and not sudo chromium that was just an example [10:42] isomorphismes: you are mixing a lot of things into topic you already dont know much. [10:42] just stick with "i dont run sudo with gui programs". maybe you need to write that 100times to the blackboard :) [10:42] White_Cat_: did the error show up when you booted manually earlier? [10:42] k1l_: security [10:42] from advanced [10:43] EriC^^ all I did was sudo reboot now and it first shown grub menu [10:43] isomorphismes: buzzword [10:43] then booted to ubuntu (first item on the list) gave that error [10:43] it had a "press to continue..." prompt where I did nothing [10:43] k1l_: I only do things that it says in some instruction set, or interpolating from different instruction sets online. [10:43] isomorphismes: sudo loads wrong enviroment variables. they dont work on GUI. so dont use sudo on gui, ok? [10:43] which then booted to ubuntu [10:43] hey there, is changelogs.ubuntu.com down at the moment? - I'm not able to do do-release-upgrade :( [10:43] k1l_: I do sudo -E [10:43] I can re-reboot if you like [10:44] isomorphismes: yes, there are tons of wrong howtos. and you are even mixing stuff then to make it worse [10:44] White_Cat_: brb [10:44] ok [10:44] k1l_: "Don't follow how-to's if they're wrong" is not followable advice. [10:44] isomorphismes: but you just said you stopped doing gksudo like the instructions say and started doing sudo. just listen. **no sudo with gui** [10:44] I'll go grab a bite as well [10:44] Ben64: Right, what caused this is sudo startx. Exactly as instructions said. [10:44] isomorphismes: what are we discussing here right now? [10:44] instructions for ubuntu? [10:44] isomorphismes: and that is wrong o ubuntu [10:45] How do I log out of the secondary user and get back to Ubuntu's login screen? [10:45] rule number 1: dont use sudo with gui. rule number 2: dont use startx on ubuntu [10:45] Ben64: No, instructions for awesome wm. Doesn't specify an OS. [10:45] use the logout from the desktop you use [10:45] k1l_: cool. thanks. [10:46] isomorphismes: *sigh* [10:46] There is no logout in the unity-shell. [10:46] there is [10:46] if I type logout in the HUD it doesn't show anything. [10:47] what is this? is this a joke? [10:47] no [10:47] click "Dash" on the left > type "logout" or "log out" > nothing appears [10:47] k1l_, sorry, but I thought sudo and gksu were merged a release or two ago? [10:47] svetlana: and he uses 12.04 [10:48] in the desktop help it says there should be a gear icon on the right, and there isn't one. [10:48] isomorphismes: http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/06_selecting_log_out.png [10:48] hello in my searches i ocasionally used to hit launchpad buglists and such [10:49] when you click 'logout', the display manager should appear. if it doesn't, means it's not configured properly, or a package is missing. [10:49] howevere i noticed recently isntead of page sohe shitty login dialog pops out - google style [10:49] an error should be in logs somewhere I believe. [10:49] is this intentional? [10:49] isomorphismes: do it with "sudo service lightdm restart" then [10:49] fixed: however i noticed recently instead of page some shitty ... [10:49] eto, have you got an url or a screenshot of that dialog? [10:49] no need for bad language [10:50] svetlana: https://login.launchpad.net/ <- this [10:50] svetlana: every external link looks like that to me [10:50] svetlana: eg i follow some blog or crosllink i see that [10:50] k1l_: I don't have that button [10:51] i don't care about ubuntu one, i would like to access information [10:51] eto, that is not intentional. if you copy URL of the blog you're trying to open, and paste it in a new tab, does the same happen? [10:51] isomorphismes: what k1l_ said is not a button, it is a terminal command. [10:52] svetlana: so it means link expired and launchpad is redirecting me to default login page? [10:52] eto, I do not understand what is going on. hence my last question. [10:52] imgur.com/CHxxbXb [10:52] anyone? - is changelogs.ubuntu.com down at the moment? - I'm not able to do do-release-upgrade :( [10:53] isomorphismes: there is no logout program [10:53] isomorphismes: so dont use dash [10:53] ok thanks `sudo service lightdm restart` put me back to the login screen [10:53] hackeron: can you pastebin the output? [10:54] isomorphismes: how did you get in? lightdm (or any dm) should start on boot automatically. [10:54] svetlana: Yes, but also some weren't believing that I don't have the button, so I wanted to shwo that I'm not making it up. [10:54] k1l_: It just sits for a long time, then says "No new release found" -- even though I have Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and have 14.04 installed [10:54] eto, about opening the URL in a new tab and seeing whether launchpad opens there. [10:55] Hi all. Anyone can confirm that changelogs.ubuntu.com (91.189.95.36) is unresponsive currently (which results in do-release-upgrade not finding the new releases)? [10:55] isomorphismes: I'm not sure. is this line directed at me? it answers none of my last 2 questions. [10:55] ok great. Now I can boot into ubuntu 2D gui although not awesome gui. [10:55] ah, looking at hackeron's line there, I see I'm not the only one [10:55] MickS: hackeron yes, its down for me now too [10:55] MickS: k1l_: wget http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release -- just sits there too [10:55] svetlana: 10:56 < svetlana> isomorphismes: what k1l_ said is not a button, it is a terminal command. <--- was directed to that [10:56] isomorphismes: ah. okay. I sent some couple questions later on. [10:56] ok, almost noon here ... time for lunch then I guess. ;-) [10:56] k1l_: is there a mirror? [10:56] hackeron: I use http://isup.me to check if things are down for someone else. [10:57] MickS: I had that problem with do-upgrade-release as well. [10:57] isomorphismes: thanks :) - now just need to find a mirror [10:59] It doesn't find my trackpad but does see my mouse. [10:59] svetlana: I got in with lightdm I guess. I will look up what are other dm's. [11:00] you don't need other dms [11:00] any ideas why http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release will be back? [11:01] when* [11:02] hackeron: when its repaired :) [11:02] k1l_: is it being repaired now? - [11:02] hackeron: i am just asking the server guys what is going on. but either they are at lunch or they are busy repairung. [11:03] hackeron: works for me now again [11:03] Any ideas what might be keeping me still from booting into awesome wm? [11:04] k1l_: ah, yes! - that was quick, heh [11:04] isomorphismes: so what is owned by root in that users home? [11:04] isomorphismes: details matter to get to know what is going on [11:06] k1l_: .cpanm, .pip, .R, R-dev, .rnd, .root_hist, .rootrc, .rpmdb, npwebpg-v0.6.1-Linux_x86-gcc3.so, npwebpg-v0.6.1-Linux_x86-gcc3.so.1, .. [11:07] holy moly. there was a lot of sudo action going on in that users homw [11:07] rebuild [11:07] who knows what else has been ruined [11:07] get to a stable point [11:07] and don't use sudo any more [11:08] isomorphismes: so if awesome wants to use any of that it just cant. you could look into .xsesion-errors after a failed login to see if it names what he needs. [11:08] this whole host looks a mess [11:08] gcc 3 libraries ? [11:08] I strongly advise a rebuild and move forward with people guiding [11:10] ikonia: I don't know what "rebuild" means [11:10] reinstall os [11:11] the errors in .xsession refer to QDBusError, virtual void HotKey, and Wnck [11:11] !paste | isomorphismes [11:11] isomorphismes: 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. [11:12] I wrote a upstart job and I can start and stop it with: initctl start pcloud; but I can not for the love of god find out what I have to do so this job will be run on startup [11:12] would appreciate a link or something [11:12] https://dpaste.de/XjP0 [11:15] this is my conf: https://gist.github.com/jeena/010ae6d009edf2c1a82a [11:16] hmm svetlana left [11:16] isomorphismes: It says you messed up all the config files. [11:16] Is it a problem that root:root owns the hard link ~/.. ? [11:16] isomorphismes: use awesome -k to check for config file errors before you use a new config. [11:17] tos-1: oh fantastic. thanks [11:17] or is it that all scripts in /etc/init/ are always parsed and run during boottime? [11:17] which format should my home and which format should my root partition have_ [11:18] gumble: ext4 and ext4 [11:18] gumble: default ext4 [11:18] Ben64: ikonia> thanks [11:19] hello [11:19] isomorphismes: Did you hard link your config file to /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua? That's useless; it will fall back to it anyway. If you want to change the config, copy /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua and change your local copy (as said before without using sudo) [11:19] Hello i am nitin [11:19] I don't want to install recommended packages, but I don't really know how to permanently set this in the system-wide configurations, I've searched and came up with this, but there appear a lot of contradicting/different solutions - http://askubuntu.com/questions/179060/how-not-to-install-recommended-and-suggested-packages [11:20] hi nitin [11:20] hello !! i am working on ubuntu 14 [11:20] tos-1: no, I mean literally ~/.. [11:21] i have one problem .can u help me with that [11:21] nitin: shoot [11:21] i want to know how the serial port works [11:22] nitin: is that your problem? Or are you trying to solve a different problem and require serial port knowledge? [11:23] ok seems like all scripts in /etc/init/ are run on boot so you don't have to do any softlinking, etc. because this is the default behaviour [11:23] isomorphismes: Oh, I see. That's okay, because root owns /home. [11:23] no actually i am unable to install the driver of PCI60806a DUAL serial port [11:23] so please help me [11:24] tos-1: cool, thanks. makes sense [11:25] i would like to know how can i install the driver? [11:25] one exe file came with the pci60806a driver CD [11:26] i want to know in /dev directory why it is not coming when i plug RS232 cable [11:26] please help me [11:26] So why use sudo for service lightdm restart ? [11:27] can windows virus affect ubuntu? [11:27] peter100: no [11:27] ok [11:27] nitin: you can't install .exe files under Linux usually. [11:28] i have few infected pendrves with auton.inf virus, can i nsert them in ubuntu safely and possibly clean them too? [11:28] autorun.inf virus i mean [11:28] Hello all [11:28] isomorphismes: because a process needs root permissions to handle the xserver. but since you want the DisplayManager lightdm to sort that for you its ok to run that with sudo [11:28] nitin: it seems to be a bug, I'm not sure it is fixed currently - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1244858 [11:28] yes so please let me know how to get rid off this driver problem [11:28] Launchpad bug 1244858 in linux (Ubuntu) "PCI I/O Parallel Port DB25 25Pin IEEE 1284 Printer Card not detected" [Medium,Expired] [11:29] Back in awesomewm thanks very much to all of you tos-1 svetlana ikonia k1l_ EriC^^ [11:29] what is going on about Ubuntu under mobile devices ? Meego is dead as well ? any alternatives for Xperia Sony smartphones ? [11:29] isomorphismes: really make sure you dont follow howtos that are made for arch or other distros. that will mess up the ubuntu setup [11:29] ubuntu is on mobile? [11:29] like android? [11:30] k1l_: Thanks. Arch does have much better documentation though. [11:30] isomorphismes: well not generally. [11:30] k1l_: In my opinion. [11:30] nitin: you could try the steps there and see if that kernel listed there works. [11:31] k1l_: Also the documentation for awesome says startx, agnostic of distro. [11:31] nitin: and generally follow this post specifically - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1244858/comments/5 [11:31] Launchpad bug 1244858 in linux (Ubuntu) "PCI I/O Parallel Port DB25 25Pin IEEE 1284 Printer Card not detected" [Medium,Expired] [11:31] peter100 they have their own "BQ" device, but what if i want to install it on normal android devices ? [11:31] isomorphismes: yes, because that is not aware of the ubuntu setup. [11:31] !touch | yoritomo [11:31] yoritomo: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [11:32] Since there's such a problem with sudo and root -- that makes me realise something else I've been doing may be causing problems as well. [11:33] I read on thegeekstuff that /opt is the best folder for custom software, not ~/dev [11:33] Trying to follow the multi-user scheme, whenever I'm downloading software from the web I put it in /opt [11:33] isomorphismes: well, i think you are too happy to install stuff outside of the package system. [11:33] What are the proper permissions/ownership for that setup? [11:33] yoritomo u can install apps which support linux install [11:33] on android [11:33] k1l_: It's necessary for work. [11:34] why does banner command not working on ubuntu [11:34] peter100thank you k1l_ for the link [11:34] peter100: define not working [11:34] peter100, android is very buggy and always hanging up even after fresh install :( [11:35] i want to get free from Android, and above all a property of google [11:35] yoritomo: lets stick to ubuntu pc support in here [11:35] ok sorry, thanks anyway [11:35] ikonia i installed banner.deb file from a website, installed it, and now when i type banner keyword on terminal it displays nothing === ken is now known as Guest973 [11:35] peter100: why did you do that [11:35] no errors , just nothing ikonia [11:35] ? [11:35] banner is part of the distro [11:36] why di dyou install banner.deb from a website ? [11:36] it never works [11:36] it does work [11:36] !info linuxlogo | peter100 [11:36] I have tried all this .it is not working [11:36] because i did so on linux mint and it worked ikonia [11:36] peter100: linuxlogo (source: linuxlogo): Color ANSI System Logo. In component universe, is extra. Version 5.11-6 (utopic), package size 53 kB, installed size 340 kB [11:36] please help me !! [11:36] ok [11:36] or other packages like figlet etc [11:37] ikonia , u mean to say banner command works in ubuntu by default, not need to install it, it even works in live running too? [11:37] peter100: correct [11:38] i am using ubuntu 12.04 and its surely doesn;t works [11:38] it* [11:38] it works just fine [11:38] why don't you tell us what you are doing exactly [11:38] on 12.04? [11:39] i typed banner myname and its shows nothing, that;s why i installed a different banner.deb file [11:39] isomorphismes: awesomewm is necessary for work? and it needs to be manually installed? you know its in the repositories and will work perfectly when installed via that method [11:39] it said " command not found" [11:40] peter100: is this an install or a live media [11:40] "command not found means ", its no there [11:40] install [11:40] correct it does mean that [11:40] it does not mean grab a random deb [11:40] ubuntu 12.04 LTS one [11:40] peter100: is this an install or a live media [11:40] i see [11:40] install [11:40] i am running ubuntu 12.04 on my hdd [11:40] ok - so the first thing is to verify if banner is on the system, you suggest it's not [11:41] the second thing would be to get the package containing banner from the ubuntu package manager [11:41] when i typed banner it said " command not found" [11:41] Ben64: No, the stuff in /opt is necessary for wokr. [11:41] Ubuntu packages are famously late. [11:41] peter100: you've said that [11:41] So anything I actually work with, I need to grab up-to-date versions and install myself. [11:41] not after installng banner.deb, its does says "command not found", but also it does not displays anything [11:41] just blank [11:41] isomorphismes: maybe ubuntu isn't for you then [11:42] peter100: you've said that also [11:42] Ben64: It's the norm for R users. [11:42] i am sorry [11:42] peter100: remove the banner.deb package [11:42] install it from the ubuntu repos [11:42] u mean to say i should download banner.deb from official repository? [11:43] peter100: no [11:43] isomorphismes: "R users"? [11:43] peter100: read https://help.ubuntu.com and understand how to use the package manager [11:43] ok i remove it [11:44] k1l_: Ben64 like the #R channel on freenode. Or [r] on stackexchange. Most are using Ubuntu and use sudo to install packages that are ahead of Ubuntu's r-cran-base. [11:44] isomorphismes: makes no sense [11:44] Anyway what is the proper permissions and ownership for installing software into /opt rather into ~/my-software ? [11:44] Ben64: I'm not talking about awesome anymore. Thanks to everyone who helped me solve that problem. [11:44] Is ext4 the latest file system? [11:44] will do , anyways thanks for the info ikonia, much appreciate [11:45] bePolite: its the latest standard filesystem for ubuntu [11:45] Ben64: While I was getting help with the problems I caused myself editing the config file and somehow chown-ing .Xauthority, people here gave me more general warnings about sudo. [11:46] Ben64: And someone said not to install custom software; I'm explaining why that's not an option for the things I work with daily. [11:46] isomorphismes: its not usually a good idea to be manually installing a bunch of stuff, and if you need the "newest" i'd really suggest using a distro designed for that [11:46] bePolite u can say that [11:46] bePolite also ext4 is a very robust filesystem, its uses journaling technique [11:46] I don't want to install recommended packages, but I don't really know how to permanently set this in the system-wide configurations, I've searched and came up with this, but there appear a lot of contradicting/different solutions - http://askubuntu.com/questions/179060/how-not-to-install-recommended-and-suggested-packages [11:47] Ben64: People build from source in ubuntu all the time. [11:47] so what's the recommended method in 14.04? [11:47] Do you ever wonder why there are no Drive letters like "C:", "D:" in linux? [11:48] isomorphismes, some people. I'd venture to guess that MOST users don't and don't want to compile anything [11:48] Or rather, why are there are no Drive letters like "C:", "D:" in linux? [11:48] bePolite: because of FHS? [11:48] anyone here uses pidgin instant messenger? [11:48] what is FHS? [11:48] !fhs | bePolite [11:48] bePolite: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [11:48] try #pidgin peter100 [11:48] hello, I have Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS and PHP 5.5, my problem is how can I enable TLS1.2 ? [11:48] bePolite: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ [11:48] fhs means filesystem hierarchy bePolite [11:49] filesystem hierarchy standard filesystem hierarchy [11:49] filesystem hierarchy standard [11:49] ^ [11:49] bePolite: they are called /dev/sdXY where X is a letter pointing at the disk and Y is a number pointing at the prtition on that disk [11:50] is it true that ubuntu never crashes or freezes? mine 12.04 is very reliable, i havent formatted my os from last 2 years, [11:51] also it works veryfast [11:51] peter100: it could freeze or crash when somehting goes wrong. but in general its working [11:51] peter100: that is largely dependent on a number of things, but generally 'never crashes' is an impossible word, especially in computing. [11:52] *term [11:52] peter100: and just a hint: you should not be using the desktop as root user. you should be logged in as a regular user [11:52] freeroute mine 12.04 had a very few crashes in last 2 years [11:52] almost nil [11:52] that's good, but still not never [11:52] k1l i am not root [11:53] peter100: did you start pidgin with sudo? [11:53] ciao [11:53] may be because i update it regularly freeroute? [11:54] k1l no [11:54] peter100: you seem to be root now [11:54] its my name "root" [11:54] peter100: largely because of this: !lts [11:54] !lts [11:54] LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [11:54] no it's not [11:54] peter100: it's using your username as "root" [11:54] may be [11:54] LTS releases are best [11:55] yes [11:55] peter100: maybe ??? you just said you did not launch it as root [11:55] peter100: but your running it as root [11:55] ikonia that "may be" was answer to freeroutes questions [11:55] I see [11:56] am i really running root ikonia [11:56] peter100: I know, I don't know why you lied [11:57] i didn;t [11:57] hey I installed ubuntu on my lenovo g505s, but grub fails as startup and displays the grub command line. only thing I can do is enter the boot menu from my laptop with the shortkey and select windows bootloader there [11:57] cfhowlett: The answer is surely not "If you want to use anything from github, you need a different OS". Most linux advice online assumes ubuntu. [11:57] peter100: you whre asked if you where running as root you said "no" - you where asked why your username was "root" you said it's not it's your name [11:57] peter100: now you are saying "I am running as root" [11:57] that = lies [11:57] gumble does ur laptops uses UEFI? OR simple BIOS? [11:58] ikonia root is my name === bhagya is now known as gaya3 [11:58] and may be its using my name [11:58] peter100: I have legacy support enabled. I think it tries uefi first, then legacy. I think I installed ubuntu in "bios mode", because in uefi I could not select to startup from usb somehow.. [11:58] peter100: yes, but you are also using the usrname "root" [11:58] and i asked if i am running as root, i din;t said i am running as root ikonia [11:58] peter100: that is the root account [11:59] peter100: 1:56 < peter100> am i really running root ikonia [11:59] Thanks for the time everyone ikonia k1l_ svetlana tos-1 EriC^^ [11:59] ikonia and what if someone uses root23 name, is it still a root account? [11:59] peter100: no [11:59] peter100: but then their username would be root23 - not root [12:00] yours is root [12:00] ikonia that i asked , [12:00] how can you say i am running as root, what makes you so sure about that? just asking === _eddy|asleep is now known as _eddy [12:01] just because its showing the name "root" ? [12:01] nevermind [12:01] peter100: because I can see your username [12:01] not your "name" [12:02] your username [12:02] nevermind buddy [12:03] anyways how can i install xbmc in ubuntu? [12:03] sudo apt-get install xbmc? [12:04] search for the package [12:04] then enable that repo [12:04] then install the packag ename [12:04] i see ikonia [12:05] is there a way to permanently download the xbmc.deb files for future use [12:05] not just install, download them permanently [12:05] peter100: do you know about the ubuntu package system at all? [12:06] !info xbmc | peter100 [12:06] peter100: xbmc (source: xbmc): XBMC Media Center (arch-independent data package). In component universe, is optional. Version 2:13.1~rc1+dfsg1-1ubuntu3 (utopic), package size 16048 kB, installed size 46085 kB [12:06] not much, i only know one command "sudo apt-get install appname" [12:06] thanks ubottu [12:06] peter100: I suggest you read the link I gave you earlier before moving forward [12:07] exit [12:07] will do ikonia [12:10] I found some advice on ubuntuforums that says to add a line to .xsession for gnome-keyring-daemon (relating to pkcs-11). Should I do it? [12:10] up to you [12:10] I don't have a ~/.xsession file [12:10] then create one [12:10] ok thanks ikonia [12:11] Does .xsession get destroyed and recreated at startup? I.e. should I write somewhere to always write this line to ~/.xsession at startup? [12:12] no [12:13] thanks ikonia [12:14] catch you all later, bye ikonia nice talking to you buddy [12:15] sigh [12:18] which file contains information about all the last reboots [12:19] what sort of infomation ? [12:19] bePolite: what kind of info? [12:19] the time [12:19] AFAIK dmesg info is in, well, the dmesg logs [12:19] it's in wtmp - but thats not readable, so type "last" [12:20] raub: the type of info you get by typing " last reboot" [12:20] I want to read that file manually [12:20] you cant [12:20] hmm [12:20] how does the "last" command get the data the [12:20] ? [12:21] it can read the file format [12:21] ahh [12:22] Hello! When I mount my other computer via "sshfs -o allow_other 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/other/" and browse to that folder with nautilus and double click an image, the mous pointer just keeps spinning forever. any idea why? When I drag and drop it to my local machine, it opens just fine. [12:22] ikonia: on a side note, you can see the dmesg stuff with the timestamps converted to something sane. Can't remember how to do it right now though [12:22] raub: I'm not asking how to do it - I'm quite happy with managing my system [12:23] ikonia: how is the file system called [12:23] bePolite: how is the file system called ? what [12:23] ikonia: I did not imply that [12:23] Or which type of files store this dtata [12:23] bePolite: it's a text file [12:23] Then I can read all text files? [12:23] Ahh sorry the file format [12:23] the data is not a human readable format [12:25] ikonia: Do you know the path to this file? [12:26] Is it binary? cuz if its a text file, I would like to take a look [12:26] it's in /var/log [12:26] and it's not human readable [12:26] hello, my ubuntu has been hacked and i needed to remove "ps" app, how can i restore it? where should i take it from ? [12:26] bePolite: I have no idea why you are trying to do this as it only displays an obsfucated version of the last command data [12:27] w0jtas1: re-install whole OS [12:27] w0jtas1, ps? photoshop? [12:27] ps as a list processes [12:27] w0jtas1: re-install the whole OS [12:28] ikonia: i can't afford it as it's live server [12:28] i can do over weekend but need stable system now [12:28] w0jtas1: you can afford to then [12:28] as it is live and comrpomised [12:28] w0jtas1: ikonia's point is that if one file is compromised more are [12:28] shut it down straight away [12:28] w0jtas1, so you say you can afford to run a HACKED system??? [12:28] and spreading and attacking other crap [12:28] i cut everything that was infected [12:28] shut it down straight away [12:28] w0jtas1: you sure? [12:28] no more infected apps / network traffic [12:29] he can't be sure [12:29] his binaries are compromised [12:29] so testing for failure with compromised binaries = no idea === soee_ is now known as soee [12:29] i don't have more compromised binaries [12:29] you don't know that [12:29] compared them to state before infection [12:29] Hiyas all [12:29] w0jtas1: unacceptable [12:29] i have original md5 [12:30] i know what caused infection [12:30] and how [12:30] w0jtas1: if you are strong enough to be %100 certin your machine is not compromised - you should be able to install a single package [12:30] w0jtas1: if that is the case, reinstall the ps package [12:30] only i don't know is where to get original ps/netstat/lsof [12:30] w0jtas1: the package manifest are totally available [12:30] and the apt/dpkg syntax is too [12:31] if you are good enough to be %100 sure you are no longer compromised (which I don't think you are) you should be able to get a package and install it [12:31] ikonia: I found the file here /var/log/wtmp [12:31] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utmp#utmp.2C_wtmp_and_btmp [12:32] bePolite: I told you thats where it is [12:32] not sure why you "found" it when I told you where it was [12:33] ahh I didn't see that message :D [12:33] lol [12:33] no problem [12:34] w0jtas1: once you find which pacakge(s) you need, just tell apt-get to force reinstall [12:35] whch application are used to create log files [12:35] like the file /var/log/debug [12:35] depends, it can be things like the syslog or the kernel logger it'self [12:36] bePolite: depends on program. Some do it on their own. Others use syslog [12:36] o the process it's self [12:36] and ikonia types way faster than me [12:37] Hahahha [12:38] Thanks for the answers [12:40] How does linux ensure that the log files dont' get too larage anyways [12:40] Does syslog use logrotate [12:42] bePolite: Yes. [12:43] bePolite: using logrotate, you can rotate all the logs you want. [12:44] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/startx.1.html <-- Someone told me here there is no startx in ubuntu. But it looks like there is. [12:45] isomorphismes: they didn't tell you that [12:45] isomorphismes: they told you not ot use it [12:45] not that it didn't exist [12:45] why are you STILL looking at startx [12:45] rather than just using the ubuntu desktop system properly as advised earlier [12:48] ikonia: I'm looking up the various things I learned here today. Like FHS, gksudo vs sudo, lightdm [12:48] ikonia: interesting, I'm about to install i3wm and no login manager. I wanted to login at boot on a VT and then do startx (which would then launch i3 because it's specified in ~/.xinitrc). If this is not the recommended method, then what is? [12:48] freeroute: that is a different situation [12:49] ah ok, even for a DE like LXDE? [12:49] ikonia: Right. My bad memory. [12:49] freeroute: what does the DE have to do with anything ? [12:50] ikonia: I want to understand how .Xauthority got chown-ed. [12:50] ikonia: can I start the DE with startx as well? [12:50] isomorphismes: because you launched things as root earlier [12:50] isomorphismes: this was explained [12:50] freeroute: the DE is not started with startx - X11 is === jesper__ is now known as Jesper-- [12:51] isomorphismes: there is startx, but ubuntu is not setup to be used with startx. its due to the way its uses sudo. the root account is disabled with no password given to that account. [12:51] isomorphismes: that is different from nearly all other distros and its due to beeing a mainstream distro. [12:52] Can I tell systlog to write the logs of the different users in my system in different files? [12:52] freeroute: isomorphismes you need "root-permissions" to start the xserver. but on ubuntu you just start lightdm with root permissions (using sudo) so it handles all for you. on other distros you use starx with sudo but not on ubuntu. [12:53] * k1l_ cant count how often he explained that already today [12:53] bePolite: different users ? [12:53] bePolite: syslog logs system logs [12:53] not user logs [12:53] sorry if I missed that k1l_ [12:53] ikonia: Wow thanks So what is responsible for userlogs? [12:54] thanks for that explanation k1l_ [12:54] bePolite: the users applications [12:54] everytime starty is mentioned in this channel and its told not to use that on ubuntu, nearly all "linux experts" jump in and tell that on other distros or bad howtos its adviced to use startx. but not for ubuntu, we have a clever lightdm [12:55] and since we are in #ubuntu other distros doesnt care really. the ubuntu way does in here :) [12:57] do I have this right?: kernel < ... grub < ... < dm < X < de < wm [12:59] Wow linux is complicated [13:02] bePolite: Windows and Mac are as well, you just don't see it. [13:02] hello [13:02] isomorphismes: yes, but grub is not a layer inbetween but more of a layer started before === geek is now known as Guest73626 [13:02] 有人吗 [13:03] !cn | Guest73626 [13:03] Guest73626: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [13:03] bePolite: linux is not more complicated. it just offers you more options. if you just want to run it and dont change any setting like on windows you can do that too. [13:04] where can I find openvpn utw profile? nothing in /etc/ufw/applications.d/ === apodio is now known as noiiise [13:04] k1l_:k1 ok right. yeah that didn't make sense conceptually [13:07] * Rust3dCor3 is away: brb [13:07] Hello. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my buddy's laptop and am stuck. [13:08] !away > Rust3dCor3 [13:08] Rust3dCor3, please see my private message [13:08] Chose the live system (no immediate installer); now when calling the "Install Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS" app from the menu, [13:08] it complains with errors. So I guessed, I should may be run it as root? Stopped it, but, [13:08] now what's the name of that app from the command line? [13:08] you don't run it from the command line [13:08] you click on the desktop button [13:08] "apropos install" doesn't show it. How hard can it be? [13:09] There's no desktop button [13:09] its not hard [13:09] pflanze: how did you launch it then ? [13:09] pflanze: what ubuntu system did you boot there exactly? [13:09] !install | pflanze [13:09] pflanze: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [13:09] ikonia, from the search in the start app [13:10] This is the installer that is currently served when visiting ubuntu.com. [13:10] ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [13:11] pflanze: when you boot it what do you see ? [13:11] A menu with "Default" and other entries. [13:11] there should be an icon on the desktop labeled "install ubuntu" or similar. that should work with clicking on it. [13:11] what are the other entries [13:11] Then when choosing "Default" it complains about "invalid kernel" [13:11] pflanze: don't use unetbootin. [13:11] just don't [13:12] who said he's using unetbootin ? [13:12] Huh, what else then from Debian? [13:12] It breaks the syslinux menu. [13:12] pflanze: "dd" [13:12] ikonia: I know those symptoms ;-) [13:12] So I chose the entry "Ubuntu live system" or something [13:12] pflanze: are you actually booting the CD ? [13:12] pflanze: dd the ubuntu iso plain on the /dev/sdb drive [13:12] ikonia, flash drive [13:12] pflanze: or are you using a USB stick [13:12] ok, there we go [13:12] pflanze: just dd the image and you're golden. [13:13] or even cp ubuntu.iso /dev/sdX and then sync [13:13] Should also work. [13:13] Hum, ok next time, but how does this matter now that it managed to boot? [13:13] pflanze: probably not. [13:13] pflanze: it can't boot if it's an invalid kernel [13:13] It did boot when I selected thagt "Ubuntu live sys" entry [13:13] k1l_: I'll make you a ! if there are instructions somewhere. Appreciate it. [13:13] Is there a command on how to obtain online help for a specific linux command like "cp" [13:13] that's where I am at [13:13] Or the only route is google? [13:14] now all I need is to actually get the darn installer application running [13:14] bePolite: you can do "man cp" [13:14] bePolite: "man cp" [13:14] bePolite: I run man cp. Do you mean it has to be on the internet? [13:14] bePolite man $command [13:14] bePolite: eg: man cp [13:14] apropos cp [13:14] What's its name on the command line? [13:14] pflanze: there should be an icon on the desktop [13:14] pflanze: ubiquity [13:14] I don't want to install recommended packages, but I don't really know how to permanently set this in the system-wide configurations, I've searched and came up with this, but there appear a lot of contradicting/different solutions - http://askubuntu.com/questions/179060/how-not-to-install-recommended-and-suggested-packages [13:14] pflanze: if there is not an icon on the desktop there is a problem [13:14] yes isomorphismes [13:14] I want something online [13:14] pflanze: do not try to "beat" that problem [13:14] I don't like the man pages [13:14] fix it [13:14] the display is poor to me [13:15] bePolite: related good commands to know are apropos copy and apt-cache search copying [13:15] bePolite: http://linux.die.net/man/1/cp [13:16] Nice TheNumb [13:16] Ok let me try cp (hu). [13:16] pflanze: remember to run sync afterwards [13:17] TheNumb, thanks for the heads-up [13:18] ciao [13:20] Does anyone know if xboxdrv's --evdev mode produces a virtual /dev/input/eventX device? I've got a game (Strike Suit Zero) which ignores /dev/input/jsX and a joystick (Saitek Cyborg 3D USB Gold) and I really don't feel like writing a uinput proxy from scratch just because idiot kernel purists think there should be one API *and* calibration is unnecessary. [13:21] I'd just try it, but I'm not well-rested (and, thus, not well motivated) and having trouble finding clear, simple instructions for getting --evdev set up in a "sorta works" way so I can `ls -l /dev/input/` to check. [13:24] I don't get vpnc to work in gnome-shell. I have vpnc and the networkmanager plugin for vpnc installed. Everytime I try to connect it immediatly shuts the connection down (I'll get a Message "Connection failed. Activation of network connection failed"). My Ubuntu notebook with the exactly same configuration can establish the connection without a problem from the same network [13:24] https://bpaste.net/show/a3e260e95e16 [13:28] KlausedSource: do you have the same version of ubuntu on both machines? [13:29] Please how can I activate automatic screenlock from the terminal [13:30] bePolite: what window manager are you using? [13:30] gnome [13:30] is that what you were asking for? [13:31] Hi. I've got a quick question about my Linux Mint17, gnome desktop. Is this an appropriate place for it? [13:31] bePolite: read this, it might contain the settings you're looking for. you can edit this through command line. [13:31] http://askubuntu.com/questions/17157/how-do-i-stop-the-screen-from-being-locked-on-suspend [13:31] rpp601, this workstation is 14.10 the laptop is 14.04 lts [13:31] NO [13:31] I want to actualy set the suspension time [13:31] So that after 2 minutes, my screen should get locked if I am idle [13:32] KlausedSource: have you compared the conf files? [13:32] bePolite: sorry :-/ you'll have to wait till some experts are awake, ask your question again sometime soon. [13:32] rayd, nope you should visit #linuxmint [13:32] oaky [13:32] Hello. A friend of mine seems to have broken his gnome-keyring ssh-agent thing. [13:33] rayd, also mint doesn't support gnome afaik [13:33] Thanks KlausedSource. [13:33] Does anyone have a set of troubleshooting steps for getting the standard keyring prompt for ssh to show again? [13:33] w0rp: i believe you just delete the stored keyrings... not positive [13:34] rayd, on the irc server GIMPNet is also official Gnome channel #gnome (gnome general) and #gnome-shell (gnome 3.x) === Chappie-san2 is now known as Chappie-san [13:34] It's asking for the ssh passphrase each time, so I think it's jut not using gnome-keyring as the SSH agent. (I'm assuming it's gnome-keyring with Unity uses by default.) [13:34] rpp601, i honestly don't know where to look. It always just worked. [13:34] except this new install [13:34] does anyone know how to get my system to alert me in *any* way when a process stops running? [13:35] KlausedSource: yeah, there should be a conf file somewhere for it. i'd compare it, or make .bak's of it and copy it over from the working one assuming it won't break anything else. [13:35] KlausedSource: all my advice comes with a disclaimer lol, i have a vague idea of what i'm doing... sometimes. [13:43] rpp601, i will crawl through a lot of documentation first i guess :) [13:43] KlausedSource: trust me, i hate that part too [13:44] TheNumb, ikonia, amazingly cp'ing the image instead of netbootin made it work. Thanks! [13:44] yw [13:44] have fun :) [13:44] pflanze: you can also use dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX [13:45] Still, feels so fragile. But oh well, what software isn't nowadays. [13:45] I know. I actually used cat [13:45] And no, you don't need to sync afterwards btw, nowadays, afaik, since when the last filehandle to a device is closed, the kernel calls sync automatically, so cat blocks until everything is written. [13:46] ever since I installed sendmail on my ubuntu server I am getting email with subject /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-update-sys-rrd [13:46] (I did run sync afterwards but it returned immediately. And I remember the change was made I think for Kernel 2.4.) [13:47] just run eject /dev/sdX [13:47] I dont have any folder /etc/local/vesta [13:48] hey all - any ubuntu/mac users? [13:48] i'm trying to get 14.10 installed on my macbookpro5,1 [13:49] the installer boots just fine, does its thing, no problems [13:49] TheNumb, in case you didn't see, ^ cp cat dd, all amounts to the same. [13:49] pflanze: well, I have to use sync when copying images to my sdcards ;-) [13:49] in EFI or legacy, XenophonF ? please write your message on one line [13:49] pflanze: I know. [13:49] :P [13:49] daftykins: i've been booting the CD using the EFI option [13:50] You shouldn't need to, if it's the last filehandle (nothing else has it open). Are you sure you need to? [13:50] XenophonF: you've seen the community mac pages, i take it? [13:50] !mac [13:50] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [13:50] yeah sure have [13:51] anyway, when Ubuntu boots post-install, the computer freezes (e.g., caps lock led doesn't toggle), and all i see are two small blue-ish bars in the upper right quadrant of the screen [13:51] TheNumb, if it requires an explicit sync, perhaps it's a bug to be fixed. [13:51] it may be [13:51] I don't care tbh. [13:51] i've tried both 14.10 and 12.04.5 - same result [13:51] (Again, assuming you're running something newer than kernel 2.2.x) [13:51] !nomodeset | XenophonF try this [13:51] XenophonF try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [13:52] thanks daftykins, let me give that a whirl [13:53] TheNumb, well I'm saying this because things are already way too complicated, and then if people believe that missing the sync is reason for failure, they might be led to retry with sync and spend more time for nothing. [13:55] pflanze: true [13:55] daftykins: all i see is "Booting a command list" - i'm going to remove "quiet" from the kernel command line, too [13:55] XenophonF: yep quiet splash can come off [13:58] nothing - blank screen [13:58] this is 12.04.5 - let me re-install 14.10 [13:59] XenophonF, ... but have you set nomodest ? it'not enough remove splash [14:00] yeah, i removed "quiet splash" and added "nomodeset" [14:00] i'm just getting "Booting a command list" now, the two blue bars aren't appearing [14:01] blue bars? not sure what you mean by that. why not 14.04.2? :) LTS releases are nice [14:01] sure i'll try 14.04.2 [14:01] give me a sec to download it [14:02] XenophonF, ... put nomodeset between quiet and splash [14:02] hey all [14:02] ioria: ok [14:02] i have a user that for some reason i can't ftp in as even when the password is reset, other users work fine [14:03] XenophonF: what's the process you're using to change your flags? [14:03] are you sure they're getting put in properly? [14:04] imbezol: i'm editing them using grub, then pressing f10 to boot [14:04] the control keys don't work [14:04] XenophonF, should be "shift" ... [14:04] ioria: that's pointless when you remove both. [14:05] ctrl is command on macs though o0 [14:05] not sure if that works at GRUB [14:05] how do i remove a mounted folder? [14:05] i mounted a folder in another place, now need to remove it [14:05] daftykins: none of the keyboard modifiers work, it's very strange [14:06] i need to scrounge up a usb keyboard, see if that works [14:06] rsmarshall, umount [14:06] thanks jesper [14:07] i'm torrenting the 14.04.2 server iso now [14:08] be back once it's done/burned/installed [14:08] Hello guys! [14:08] hi [14:08] XenophonF: are you not able to use flash drives? [14:09] XenophonF: why server? that's a bit of a recipe for surprises ;) [14:09] daftykins: i don't need the gui, just want a barebones linux server [14:10] Hello FEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [14:10] ultimately i want to play around with openstack [14:10] Hi folks. Am I right in thinking there are no Lubuntu/Xubuntu 12.04.5 torrent files? I can only find 12.04 from Lubuntu and 12.04.4 from Xubuntu... [14:10] XenophonF: do you have more than one video output port? [14:10] hey... [14:10] imbezol: no [14:10] if i'm better off with desktop, i'll download that [14:12] i have a displayport adapter for this mac around here somewhere... [14:13] i figured a text-mode only install should be a piece of cake :( [14:13] it is a doddle [14:13] what is the problem ? [14:13] i tried centos 7 and ran into the same problem, where it would boot but show these two small blue bars in the upper right of the screen [14:14] what is hte problem you are facing with ubuntu [14:14] i didn't look up your model mac to see what hardware it is, for what potential issues there could be [14:14] not really interested in the centos problem [14:15] ikonia: when i boot ubuntu post-install, it shows two small blue bars in the upper right quadrant of the screen [14:15] hold on, i'll take a picture === brian is now known as Guest77550 [14:16] anyone knows if there is a way too install kodibuntu from terminal [14:16] XenophonF: what are you using for a monitor? [14:16] muad_: thats not ubuntu, so it's not supported here [14:16] imbezol: the laptop's built-in screen [14:17] let me find the displayport adapter and a monitor [14:17] i'll plug those in, see if it makes any difference [14:18] can anybody run virtualbox on ubuntu 14.1? [14:18] chulis: yes you can [14:18] *14.10 - of course they can. [14:18] my always fall down [14:19] chulis: fall down? [14:19] what a fine description [14:19] it stars ok but some seconds after crahs [14:19] what crashes [14:19] the guest ? the host ? the virtual box app ? [14:19] how does it crash ? [14:20] when i start to run win7 on vitualbox it aborts [14:20] what does ? [14:20] please answer the questions clearly [14:20] canot install win7 [14:20] what aborts [14:20] the guest, the host, the app ? [14:21] how does it abort, what does it error ? [14:21] so when i install ubuntu on a mac, should i boot the cd via EFI? [14:21] when i try to intall windows7 few seconds after abort [14:21] all the mac wiki pages seem to indicate that EFI boot is preferred [14:21] XenophonF: the boot shouldn't matter if it boots [14:22] ikonia: that's what i figured [14:22] virtualbox continues ok but canot instal any os [14:22] it actually does make a big deal on macs, so i disagree [14:22] chulis: can't help you - you seem unable/unwilling to describe the problem clearly [14:22] chulis: give it more ram and cpu in the settings. you maybe want to ask in #vbox for some settings on windows7 guests [14:22] sometimes only legacy works properly. [14:22] daftykins: not for the CD - the actual post install boot does matter [14:22] I just installed a minimal cd of ubuntu. When I log in I get: failed to start unit user@1000.service: unknown unit: [14:22] not sure how it would impact if it was a boot USB [14:22] on ubuntu 14.4 was all right [14:22] never used that [14:22] or rarely [14:22] no i'm talking about post install too [14:22] daftykins: full agreement [14:22] 14.04 sorry [14:23] he seemed to be talking about the install media (CD) [14:23] well you have to boot legacy and install legacy with some models, as far as i understand it [14:23] subvhome: some systemd issue, should not be a problem [14:24] k1l_: ok thank. [14:24] subvhome: you're missing packages (and therefore users) it expects [14:24] subvhome: if you're doing a "minimal" install you need to understand it [14:24] let me wipe and reload everything on this mac [14:25] start totally from scratch - fresh Mac OS X install, fresh rEFIt install, fresh Ubuntu Desktop 14.10 install [14:25] i'll do legacy boots this time around [14:25] ikonia: thanks.

[14:25] replaced with something else [14:25] reFIND [14:26] thank you [14:26] i put lot of cpu ram hd etc but canno install any so virtualbox [14:26] yeah, that one, rEFInd [14:26] i have ubuntu 14.1 [14:27] please ask in #vbox [14:27] you shouldn't need any of that rEFIt junk these days [14:27] nobody in vbox [14:28] pretty sure the mac EFI implementation won't allow you to boot it directly withou tit [14:28] chulis: loads in #vbox [14:28] sorry [14:28] ok [14:29] ikonia: i can boot ubuntu without refind, like if i wipe the disk entirely and just install ubuntu, but it's super ugly - like, the boot selection screen (hold Alt while powering on) doesn't show the ubuntu install [14:29] i think it depends on the model, i wrote the wiki guide for an old one that installed just fine the other day [14:29] daftykins: ah, so the older efi implmentation may work [14:30] XenophonF: what happens if you wipe the disk, clean install OS X, resize the volume to give more space at the end for Ubuntu... then boot the Ubuntu media and install into the empty space? holding alt at boot for me listed the other OS fine [14:30] but this could be the vast difference in model age [14:30] daftykins: i don't remember if that works [14:31] this is a mid-2008 mbp [14:32] one i did is the only up to date early model macbook with a 'trusty' guide, 3,1 i think [14:32] !mac | XenophonF reading the literature when messing with a Mac is HIGHLY recommended.

[14:41] PCWorker, hi [14:43] i'm installing ubuntu server now in kvm, but it only see's the qcow2 file as a 196kb drive? [14:43] I have a Compaq Desktop with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on it. I want to know if I can pull the hard drive out and put it into another Desktop and it will boot right up or will I have to re-install the OS??? [14:43] flughafen: sounds like you've defined the file wrong then [14:44] flughafen: of you've set it to dynamic, rather than allocate in full [14:44] flughafen: its because the qcow2-file is a sparseimage - Is the install done, or did you just start? [14:44] qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu.qcow2 50G [14:44] this works with other operating systems, it's pretty standard === eblip is now known as eb0t [14:45] PCWorker, if the two systems are IDENTICAL, you should be able to drag and drop. Otherwise, plan to reinstall. [14:45] ah, nevermind, i'm stupid. the virt-installer picked raw format by default. [14:45] sorry guys [14:46] cfhowlett: that's not even close to true [14:46] imbezol, please inform PCWorker [14:46] if they both use the same boot method it'll probably just work [14:46] PCWorker: if it doesnt boot you might need to rebuild the initrd from chroot [14:47] PCWorker: could work. [14:47] I was hoping that I could just update the drivers. [14:47] using a live usb [14:47] PCWorker: go and try that. [14:47] PCWorker: you may need to update graphics drivers if you have one that's ati and one that's nvidia or something [14:47] even then it'll probably work, just not with 3d support etc [14:47] cfhowlett : guess I didn't install ubuntu tweak , installed now working but still the fonts isn't sharp .Will try other setting thanks :) [14:52] ciao [14:53] The other desktop is an HP/Compaq too, but the graphics card is 512mg ATI. So will have to update those first. What I'm most worried about is, If it does boot up "stable", then will it still say it is a compaq presario OR will it configure the new motherboard automatically? [14:53] PCWorker: just try it. [14:53] it won't hurt! [14:56] daftykins: If it don't work, I will let yall know what happened. If it does work, I will let yall know how much faster and better a computing experience I am having. Oh, and I also started reading and practicing making my own Linux Box. [14:57] err, ok?

It's a critical/production environment and I am not an Openstack guru. Rather I'm very new in Openstack. So I need a long term support Openstack version. According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/CloudArchive and my needs, is it correct to choose Icehouse instead of Juno? [15:17] aryklein: #Ubuntu-server perhaps [15:18] Walex2: thanks [15:19] i bet there's an openstack channel. [15:20] there is and it's excellent [15:23] daftykins: yeap I've asked there... but I'm concerned in the Ubuntu support [15:23] k [15:23] what way concerned with ubuntu support ? [15:24] I understand they keep support only for the last two Openstack release. And according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/CloudArchive, ubuntu support Icehouse for 5yrs [15:25] it is supported for the duration of the LTS release as that diagram shows [15:25] I need to know what kind of support Ubuntu gives to Openstack [15:25] what do you mean, "what kind of support" [15:25] they maintain the packages [15:26] ikonia: the compatibility with new libraries? [15:26] new libraries ? [15:26] what new libraries [15:26] the LTS platform does not change for the duration of the cycle [15:27] the openstack software is maintained against that plaform for the duration of the LTS release. [15:27] ikonia: yeap I meant that [15:28] anyone with samba 4 experience? [15:31] ikonia: So... If I decided to use Juno and Ubuntu finishes the Juno support, maybe with the next Ubuntu 14.04 upgrades my system could collapse? [15:36] ikonia: I mean... If decided to use Juno in a 14.04LTS what happen when Ubuntu stop maintaining Juno and I keep upgrading my 14.04? new updates could broke my openstack?

It doesn't seem like I can create multiple network profiles for my Wireless adapter like I can for my wired adapter. Is there a way around this? I'd like to have a DHCP profile and a couple static ip profiles for testing... Any ideas? [15:50] 14.04lts btw [15:50] O_OniGiri: firefox is the better browser, however you could try moving your chrome profile and starting "fresh". If that's faster, your profile is the culprit [15:51] O_OniGiri: maybe your plugins are slowing down [15:51] phre4k: haha ok. I will try to switch to firefox I guess. I just liked it that Chrome syncs well with my Android phone... [15:51] O_OniGiri: use Firefox Sync [15:51] O_OniGiri: see if a new profile starts faster [15:51] O_OniGiri, do you have a gmail account , if so that could explain the loading of various google "stuff" with the browser therby slowing down the launch [15:52] aryklein: if you use packages from the ubuntu LTS repo - they will be maintained for the duration of the LTS release [15:52] aryklein: if you use packaages outside the LTS release, that is not ubuntu's issue to maintain compatibility [15:52] phre4k: yeah, I will have a look at Firefox sync === khisanth_ is now known as Khisanth [15:53] Only the WiFi SSID's appear in the network dropdown list.

After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [18:09] m387457834: not of course at all. The issue could be lack of power, which would explain why its not detecting [18:09] htqp: oh [18:09] k1l_, is this Xubuntu? [18:09] Hey guys, I've just bought a new monitor for my currently headless Ubuntu machine, with a nvidia card in it. Currently it's set to a res / Hz setting unsupported by the monitor. [18:09] ActionParsnip: I said it works in 12.04 already [18:09] oh , i was following a video [18:09] How can I troubleshoot this? [18:09] Sailoreal: that doesnt change if its xubuntu or ubuntu or..or....or... [18:10] and stuck in this step [18:10] k1l_, I have a Windows machine with x64, and 4GB RAM (200 GB HDD). Would you recommend Xubuntu if I lile fast and modern? [18:10] leptone: I'd go for Xubuntu 14.04. eMachines have done their usual stunt and cheaped out on the RAM [18:10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0l87tArUDk [18:10] m387457834: is it shown in dmesg ? [18:10] Or which would you recommend? [18:10] 5:18 [18:10] ActionParsnip: nope [18:10] Sailoreal: anything you like. ubuntu should run there too [18:10] I need to tar up some files in a specific directory and I am having problems: " tar -C /path/to/directory/ -cvpzf backupname.tar.gz " is not working…any ideas? [18:11] m387457834: so you ran: dmesg | egrep -i 'dvd|cd' [18:11] ActionParsnip: yes :) [18:11] Sailoreal: its your choice. if you like xfce more go with xubuntu. its just about the different desktop [18:11] john_doe_jr: http://mylinuxnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/11/create-extract-targz-files.html [18:11] m387457834: can you pastebin the output (if any) [18:12] I can't really choose ... [18:12] Which is the most popular and recommended? [18:12] Sailoreal: if its 4Gb RAM then Ubuntu, if you like Unity. [18:12] Sailoreal: then go with your first idea and if you like it, stay there [18:12] ActionParsnip: there is no cd or dvd in the output it's just 10 lines about usb [18:12] Sailoreal: make own experience [18:12] k1l_, a friend said Xubuntu was good, Idk [18:13] Sailoreal: Ubuntu as lots of things are still quite meshed with Unity shell [18:13] Sailoreal: why not try both? [18:13] Sailoreal: they cost the same (free!) [18:13] ActionParsnip, I can't ... [18:13] ActionParsnip: I appreciate the help but that link did not use the -C option [18:13] Open_Source_newb: that video is just plain wrong. he is using a lot of wrong commands [18:13] ActionParsnip, I don't have the time ... [18:13] Sailoreal: sure you can, try them in live CD / USB then make a call from there [18:13] K1l , oh is it [18:13] Sailoreal: then read reviews / watch videos on yourube [18:13] Sailoreal: so when you dont got time, why are we still talking and you not intsalling xubuntu? :) [18:14] m387457834: have you tried resetting your BIOS to defaults the resetting it up? [18:14] k1l_, coz I don't know if I wanna use Ubuntu or Xubuntu etc. :) Or LTS or regular ... [18:14] K1l: how to proceed please [18:14] I'm a beginner [18:14] of linux [18:14] Sailoreal: i suggest LTS for new users [18:14] this is the only source i had [18:14] (And it's a laptop) [18:14] Sailoreal: doesnt matter [18:14] Sailoreal: again: we cant make the choice for you. [18:15] Which would you recommend/suggest? No, I know, I just want your opinions :) [18:15] Sailoreal: if you want/can update every 6 months then n14.10 is ok, but for beginners better go LTS [18:15] Sailoreal: I prefer to install Ubuntu minimal then add slim and openbox, works really well for me [18:15] Yes, but I mean Xubuntu or Ubuntu? [18:15] ActionParsnip, ok [18:15] Minimal? [18:16] !poll | Sailoreal [18:16] Sailoreal: just stick to the main Ubuntu, you'll be fine [18:16] Sailoreal: if you ask 20 times more its not helping. go and install xubuntu. [18:16] Why Xubuntu? [18:16] becaus. [18:16] *e [18:16] ... [18:17] Sailoreal: go do some research and make a choice [18:17] Ok [18:17] Open_Source_newb: i bet they have a documentation, and support. dont rely on videos some bloke with not more knowledge then you made [18:17] Is Ubuntu better than Mint? [18:18] Open_Source_newb: the first user you made at install time can use suo, use that and stay off root. The OS is designed to NOT use root accounts but to use sudo [18:18] Sailoreal: some say yes, some say no [18:18] Sailoreal: is coke better than pepsi? [18:18] Yep xD [18:18] Sailoreal: your question is as intelligent as that [18:18] Ok ... [18:18] ActionParsnip, what doest contain on an ubuntu minimal ? [18:18] Sailoreal: or is red better than blue [18:19] realBigfoot: minimal is package management, kernel, bootloader and some basic tools like vi / nano etc [18:19] realBigfoot: so you can build up. Much like Arch, because Arch is sooo hard to install [18:19] ActionParsnip, does it have any graphical shell ? [18:19] Sailoreal: since you ask in a ubuntu channel: use ubuntu and not mint. [18:19] Ok [18:20] ActionParsnip, oh I see... [18:20] realBigfoot: not by default, but you can install one if you need to. You will also be offered to install the desktop metapackages from the web, saves having to install the OSthen upgrade the packages from the web [18:20] ActionParsnip, nice :) [18:20] ActionParsnip, we build it as we like it to be [18:20] realBigfoot: yeah its pretty cool. I dont like all this wasted resource with a DE so I just use openbox WM [18:21] ActionParsnip, indeed.. there is a lot of things I would get rid of from the system build [18:22] realBigfoot: exactly, build up rather than remove what is aded by default [18:22] ActionParsnip, nice to know! I will totally give a shot on this one... next time I format my computer... i have customized a bunch of things... now i am lazy [18:24] !dualboot | Sailoreal [18:24] Sailoreal, please see my private message [18:28] So LTS rather than the latest? [18:29] Sailoreal, : Long Time Supported [18:30] Sailoreal, : .10 development [18:30] is Ubuntu Studio still actively developed ? [18:30] Which is best? Recommended? [18:30] lTS [18:30] I think I will choose Lts ... [18:30] freedom of choice means you get to decide [18:30] Sailoreal: yes, 14.04 LTS is supported til April 2019 [18:30] ok [18:30] Sailoreal: none are best [18:31] Sailoreal: if one ws best, nobody would use the others at all [18:31] Sailoreal: think about it [18:31] Sailoreal: still chating? why not installing already? :) [18:31] k1l_: doesnt have time apparently [18:31] I'm searching for a video how to do it with dual boot :) [18:32] Sailoreal: we gave you documentation for that. no need for video [18:32] Sailoreal: you have been 18 minutes asking the same question over and over, yet you don't have time to try researching online? [18:32] Ok ... [18:32] If I press ctrl+l in nautilus I can not edit my current path [18:33] Sailoreal: so why doi you not have time to research but have the same time to ask in here? [18:33] has anything changed with an update? [18:33] I have researched [18:33] tokam: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [18:33] But I can't use a CD [18:33] Sailoreal: then make a choice based on your research [18:33] I have to use a USB [18:33] Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l [18:33] Sailoreal: you can transfer the ISO to USB using unetbootin [18:33] Okay [18:34] tokam: can you not click in the top bar and type the path you desire? [18:34] It seems to be an issue of my current window instance [18:34] if I press ctrl+n and then ctrl+L in the new window nautilus works as expected. [18:34] no I can not [18:34] tokam: press ALT + F2 and run: nautilus -q [18:34] tokam: wait for nautilus to restart then retry [18:35] I did not know what it does but now I know :D [18:35] /70/70 [18:35] works all pretty well ;) [18:35] tokam: sweet [18:35] tokam: you restarted nautilus ::) (man pages) [18:38] Should I choose Live, HdMedia, or NetInstall? [18:38] On unetbootin [18:38] choose where= [18:38] ? [18:38] Anyone know if there's a way to automatically detect optimal display settings from the CLI? I'm struggling to configure my screen : ( [18:38] Or Daily_Live [18:38] Sailoreal: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [18:39] Sailoreal: Live would be the easiest. [18:39] Okay [18:39] Sailoreal: wait, meant that link, sorry: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [18:39] unetbootin or the one here? [18:39] which should I use? [18:40] my ubuntu server is sending me emails of failed login attempts and this is annoying me too much [18:40] Hello [18:40] Is there a utility I can use get help for online commands online? [18:40] I cant find the file which is sending me emails any idea ? [18:42] Hi! 12.04 server. How can I determine if /etc/cron.daily is executed? Running sudo crontab -l I don't see it as a job by cron itself? Please point me in the proper direction to understanding...thanks. [18:42] hi guys , my two years ssd seems to face some difficulties , this is what i get from dmesg -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10433988/ [18:42] should i replace it ? or try to reinstall the Os? [18:42] What's Trusty Desktop? === Drone`` is now known as Drone` [18:43] Sailoreal, : Trusty is the name of the 14.04 release [18:44] maesrin, look into badblocks, it has an ssd option [18:44] But my file name is not trusty desktop [18:44] but it is on the instruction [18:44] maesrin, -----> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/93686/can-i-prove-that-an-ssd-is-broken [18:45] Why? [18:45] Sailoreal: what is you filename? [18:45] thanks for the reply gabb0, no i noticed that it has marked 188784 sectors as bad [18:46] however the system boots normally , although there are some delays [18:46] It's ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [18:46] k1l_ === alpha is now known as r3kt [18:46] so in ubuntu, what's the program that switches from text mode to vfb? is it plymouth? [18:46] Sailoreal: that is fine. 14.04 is trusty [18:46] Okay :D [18:46] and how do i disable it? [18:47] maesrin, you should test the SSD in a live boot environment with badblocks and determine for yourself what to do [18:48] Ubuntu has a spyware? [18:48] no [18:48] Hmm [18:48] It had in previous versions? [18:48] no [18:49] Yes, and I was able to change it in 'Privacy' [18:49] Some months ago [18:49] hello [18:49] if you call the online search spyware than freifox is spyware, google search is spyware,.... that is just FUD [18:49] Oh, I didn't see any network connection in the upper right corner. [18:49] Sailoreal, you dont know what spyware even is if you think that. :/ [18:49] Couldn't manage to resolve it, so I reinstalled the system. [18:50] gabb0, http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/12/richard-stallman-calls-ubuntu-spyware-because-it-tracks-searches/ [18:50] hey, who is 'drone.' [18:50] ignore Sailoreal [18:50] But apparantly, I DO have internet connection, even without it being specified. :| [18:50] if you dont want your search to search online set it to local only in privacy settings [18:50] Sailoreal, are you in here to ask for help or waste our time? [18:50] Okay, and gabb0 , that was just a question [18:50] wrong channel, its a support channel [18:51] Ok ... [18:51] I can see my connection if I do "ifconfig", but it isn't visible in the upper right corner... Why? [18:51] so i tried a legacy boot of ubuntu desktop 14.10 on my macbookpro5,1, and this time it crashed after displaying "controller found", followed by the error "[8.605492] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:02:00.0] 01:0006:0242: no bios dp data" === Nectar__ is now known as l00p === l00p is now known as l00pin [18:57] i'm going to try a legacy boot with nomodeset replacing "quiet splash" [18:59] Hi All. It doesn't seem like I can create multiple network profiles for my Wireless adapter like I can for my wired adapter. Is there a way around this? I'd like to have a DHCP profile and a couple static ip profiles for testing... Any ideas? [18:59] 14.04lts btw [18:59] Only the WiFi SSID's appear in the network dropdown list. Not the connections as created in Network Connection (edit connections at bottom) [19:00] I gave them all a unique connection name... no workie [19:00] Whitor, you can do that with bash scripting. [19:01] gabb0, Ok... I'll do it that way, but that seems a little wonky for something that works for physical ethernet adapters ... (and even lets you configure such in the Network Connections dialog... it just doesn't work) [19:02] Agreed. to me, if you want it done you gotta sometimes do it your own way. :) [19:03] hi, I don't want to install recommended packages, but I don't really know how to permanently set this in the system-wide configurations, I've searched and came up with this, but there appear a lot of contradicting/different solutions - http://askubuntu.com/questions/179060/how-not-to-install-recommended-and-suggested-packages [19:06] freeroute, did you try all recommended syntaxes in the replies? [19:06] freeroute: BY default, recommended packages arent installed. [19:08] oh huh, I thought it was the opposite. How can I tell which packages are marked as 'recommended'? [19:10] d'oh it just tells under the 'suggested' packages [19:12] Hey guys, anyone know how to install Ubuntu server 14.04 to a remote server via KVM? I'm using the CAB VM client [19:13] Anyone? :c [19:14] stab [19:14] stab all non linux computers [19:14] speak of which, would mac os technically be linux? [19:15] since it is unix based? [19:15] atlaspaine: no [19:15] hello [19:16] atlaspaine, mac os is based on bsd. wrong channel for this topic. [19:16] Does anyone know what the deal is with bluetooth in Kubuntu? I.E if you disable it, you can't re-enable it from the GUI, just from the command prompt? There are some bug complaints from years ago about this; is this still a bug, or am I experiencing an isolated issue? [19:16] atlaspaine: macosx is a derivative of nextstep with a bunch of freebsd's userspace [19:17] atlaspaine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix#mediaviewer/File:Unix_history-simple.svg [19:18] hey i got ubuntu to boot on my mac (finally)! [19:19] has any here ever done a PXE based install for Ubuntu Desktop? how do i tell it to install desktop instead of server? or get it to be in advanced mode? [19:19] @gabb0 sorry, i don't know how this works, beginner here over here. now do i know how i got here or how to switch channels, guide me maybe? [19:19] hi, apt-get upgrade constantly gets stuck at unpack ntp (ubuntu trusty). tried apt-get clean, update, upgrade. reinstall etc. even when i try dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq ntp it gets stuck and just sits there :( [19:20] I had to do a legacy boot, press f6 for other options, hit escape, and replace "quiet splace" on the boot options line with "nomodeset" [19:20] how do i open a terminal in ubnutu desktop ? [19:20] unity [19:20] I just did a fresh install of it... tried searching for 'terminal' and 'console' in the search thingy [19:22] I guess it's not installed by default on the server distro. I installed server and then installed ubuntu-desktoip [19:22] is it possible to send files in this thing?

[19:24] Does anyone have any real world experience with NVidia Optimus technology? I'm wondering how well 14.04 handles this... or If I have to manually setup Bumblebee or Primus or something... any idea? Is it stable? should I run in discrete mode entirely ? [19:24] atlaspaine: it's a factoid, what are you trying to send? maybe I don't understand the context, !details [19:25] @schrodingersscat i don't have a context, just trying to understand this thing i've gotten into, apparently it's called "irc" [19:25] Have any of you tried Windows 8 dualbooted with Ubuntu?

[19:27] atlaspaine, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat [19:27] no offense, but dont waste our time with those questions. :) [19:28] atlaspaine, as long as you do windows first its easy [19:28] Whitor, yeah i've used server before and have been very pleased. so your suggestion is spot on. thank you. 595MB download :) nice [19:28] atlaspaine, if you do windows last, you need some post-install boot fixes [19:28] gabb0, not so easy anymore with UEFI [19:28] Wasting time? I came here for guidance. And the real reason I came here was because someone told me to ping jml on freenode in this channel [19:29] BluesKaj, ahh true that [19:29] atlaspaine, if you need a primer on irc, this isnt the place to ask [19:29] What is a primer?

[20:10] For example : Code::Blocks [20:11] KingOfOOP: You have to take a look into the package contents, to find your information desired. [20:11] freeroute: no, it only shows a changelog of a package currently install when you upgrade it (unless it has some hidden option I don't know about, I have it set to confirm here but I get no prompts on fresh installs) [20:11] KingOfOOP: The binary gets stuck in /usr/bin/codeblocks, the config and other libraries are put elsewhere [20:11] KingOfOOP: dpkg -L codeblocks will show you everything [20:11] hey guys i try to make my home and end key work in the terminal od -C HOME END gives ^[[1~^[[4~ and i have "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line configured, is that right ? [20:12] is \e the same as ^[ ?

[20:14] Pici: So , all of the apps won't install on a specified folder ???? [20:15] KingOfOOP: no, parts of packages get installed into various places. manpages in one place, binaries in another, configs in another, libraries elsewhere.. etc. [20:16] How to install VMware Workstation ?? [20:16] version 10 for 32 bit [20:17] KingOfOOP: run the installation file... [20:17] TheNumb: ? [20:17] TheNumb: What installation file ? [20:17] it comes with an installer [20:17] blahblah.bundle [20:17] right? [20:17] TheNumb: I don't have any installer ! [20:17] More likely "*.run" :) [20:18] then why are you asking how to install vmware? [20:18] TheNumb: I mean download & install of course ... [20:18] KingOfOOP: buy it, download, install [20:18] ez [20:19] There is no free edition ?? [20:19] no [20:19] there's vmware player [20:19] KingOfOOP: http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-10/index.jsp#com.vmware.ws.get_started.doc/GUID-7179281C-903A-46A9-89EE-C10B126D4960.html [20:19] After purchasing VMware Workstation, just follow the installation documentation. [20:19] King0f00P: there is virtualbox ... [20:20] Sparky: How to get it ?? is it free ? [20:20] KingOfOOP: it's in the repository. [20:20] just google it ;) [20:20] And it's opensource.

The problem is that when I run ap-hotspot first time, connection establishes (there is log file http://dpaste.com/0XMPTNZ ), but when I stop the daemon (or e.g. disable and re-enable wifi) than it fails (log file is http://dpaste.com/1VZWGD4 ) [20:50] hmm [20:50] New_User_Ubuntu: so....you saved it, as root that is, in /etc/apt/sources.list right? [20:51] yes [20:51] New_User_Ubuntu: and it gave an error on line 63 again? [20:51] crazydiamond: sounds unneeded complex with ap-hotspot and hostapd when you could just use network manager: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpa/+bug/1209511 [20:51] Launchpad bug 1209511 in wpa (Ubuntu Saucy) "wpa_supplicant: AP mode support not included in the build" [Medium,Fix released] [20:51] yes [20:52] Say, I've got an ec2 account with ubuntu, but the danged thing won't let me access when I add a user as per AWS instructions.

I am new to irc :D [21:09] New_User_Ubuntu: it doesn't matter much in order to access the ppa files though, some issue a gpg IIRC, some don't, thus the apt-get says that it can't verify such and such, is just a way to let folks know that, an extra certification info, hasn't been provided reliably, and thus you should be aware of that in case you didn't know === root is now known as Guest16646 [21:09] for some reason I can't get grub to recognize my new win 7 install, how can i fix this?

I have tried to work out the sudoers line but I am not sure its correct. can someone help please. [21:17] i'll play with it [21:18] rpp601: hmm you'd escape the double-quotes INSIDE the " " section, no the other way around [21:18] rpp601: What is your end goal in creating this alias? For anything even remotely complex I tent to simply define functions rather than trying to use an alias. [21:18] ok, let me show you the actual command and output [21:18] its a push [21:19] alias workdone="curl -u xxxxxx: -X POST https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-binary '{"type": "note", "title": "Job Finished", "body": "Work Done!"}'" [21:19] bash: !"}'": event not found [21:19] BBLLCC, it is usually ~/.thunderbird [21:20] Hey everyone.

[21:25] hello [21:25] allo [21:25] that didn't work, i'll just copy and paste that long command [21:26] varaindemian: For irssi you would run "/connect irc.freenode.net" then "/nick your_nick" then "/join #ubuntu". [21:26] bprompt_: You cannot escape history expansion inside double quotes. The only way around it is to disable history expansion by running set +H [21:27] geirha: hmm rpp601 <--- is trying to get an alias set to a "curl" call with the arguments, trying to use the double-quotes in the alias, thus [21:27] bprompt_: or in this case, you can avoid it by using a function instead, since that will drop one level of quoting [21:27] bprompt_: Oh, I should have read more of the backlog [21:27] np === anonymous__ is now known as cRLH [21:28] If I'm running lamp on 10.04, and I only need to access the web server remotely from specific IP's, is a firewall enough security?

[21:29] Jordan_U: ah i see, how would i make it appear? [21:30] geirha: no error, then workdone becomes my command? [21:30] rpp601: yup [21:31] you are a wizard! [21:31] run: type workdone to see what type of command it is [21:31] oh wow, i totally get it. THANKS guys [21:31] New_User_Ubuntu, run this in a terminal, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E084DAB9 , I copied it from this site, http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/ [21:32] My network "Edit connections" is greyed out on Ubuntu 12.04. Any ideas on the cause? Also, "VPN/Configure VPN" is also greyed out. [21:34] Jordan_U: anyways, i got it working, thanks [21:34] geirha: one more thing, if i control + z a job that's been running for 90+ hours.... is there a chance 'fg' will not work? [21:35] bmomjian, do you have a vpn client installed? [21:35] geirha: rather... how dependable is 'fg'? [21:36] no, I do not. I have another laptop, same OS, that does have both options not greyed out. Neither use VPNs. [21:36] I tried uninstalling/installing the network manager, no change [21:36] rpp601: there are some corner cases where ctrl+z and fg doesn't do the expected. One case is when a loop construct is involved in the interactive shell, and one is when it's an external command that is very poorly written. Most likely you'll hit neither. [21:37] rpp601: If you think it's hanging, you might want to attach strace to it, to see what it's doing [21:37] geirha: thanks again [21:37] bmomjian, have you updated and upgraded lately ? I have to ask . [21:38] yes, I have [21:38] well minor upgrades, yes, have been on 12.04 for a while [21:38] geirha: no, my thinking was this. to control z the program - then run 'fg; workdone' get it? [21:39] rpp601: Ah, yes. That should work fine. [21:39] I checked /usr/share/polkit-1/actions; same on working and non-working laptops [21:39] bmomjian, try a dist-upgrade [21:40] oh, wow, that sounds severe === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [21:40] no it's not, it's amethod to bring existing packages up to date [21:41] hey guys! is there a way to mask all packages of an repository/ppa. e.g. i want to install 2 programs from getdeb repo but nothing more and don't wanna have something else pulled in. coming from gentoo there are package.masks to do so. is there an equivalent in ubuntu world? [21:41] Does apt cache old packages that got upgraded? [21:41] what is odd is that I can access wired and wireless just fine from System Settings/Network [21:41] it is only from the nm-applet that there is a problem [21:43] geirha: any reason my new function won't work from screen? [21:43] bmomjian, I have to go [21:43] rpp601: did you put it in .bashrc? [21:43] thanks for trying [21:43] geirha: of course not [21:44] lol [21:44] rpp601: then that might be why :) [21:44] heheh [21:45] how can I get the description of a .deb without installing it? [21:46] dpkg - p only works on installed packages [21:48] apt-cache search [21:50] geirha: do i have to define the whole thing again in bash? [21:51] rpp601: the whole function? yes. It's only one command in there, so it's not that long [21:51] OerHeks, it was actually dpkg -f, thanks though [21:52] In a shell where you do have that function defined, you can write: declare -f workdone >> ~/.bashrc [21:52] geirha: :) k [21:52] to make it "permanent", so to speak [21:53] Hi all, I was messing around with a game engine yesterday and my system crashed. After I rebooted and logged in unity failed to launch. All I get is my desktop background without the unity launcher, the status bar at the top and no window borders [21:53] After checking some logs I found that compiz failed to load opengl [21:53] Hello there! [21:53] spaceindaver, make another account, login to it and if it works its probably a userspace issue [21:53] allo [21:54] Hello :-) [21:54] Okay, I'll give that a go [21:54] spaceindaver, since i answered before you typed the second line, my advice might not prove anything,...still worth a try tho === pchopra is now known as DorkSector [21:55] geirha: it's in there but screen doesn't seem to want to do it yet. could it be that i need to restart screen? [21:55] OK, new report; the updates for 12.04 today have disabled the nm-applet "Edit Connections". I just did a restart of the nm-applet after a 12.04 update and the problem happened. I already had this problem on another laptop today. Where do I report this? [21:56] No wonder I could not find a report of this on Launchpad or via Google [21:56] Hello again, I was able to login with my guest account and everything works fine. Any idea how I can fix my other account? [21:56] bmomjian: the 'edit connections' has been buggy for me forever [21:57] rpp601: ah, it's a long running shell in there? well you can source .bashrc again, or exec a new bash. source ~/.bashrc # the former [21:57] !bug | bmomjian [21:57] bmomjian: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

I don't have access to it except via the network, so how do I get to know its IP? [21:58] DorkSector: depends how you have your network set up [21:58] <__david> !help [21:58] Ben64, hmm, what if it's a simple home network and I have the mac address of the machine (when I mean simple network, just a local wifi network connected to WAN via a router) [21:58] 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 [21:59] __david, was that for me?4 [21:59] <__david> !patience [21:59] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [21:59] <__david> no DorkSector [21:59] okay [22:00] DorkSector: You could try: "curl wtfismyip.com/json" [22:00] DorkSector: either look in your router's config page to see the ip it got, or ping scan the network, or listen to arp stuff using wireshark [22:00] MLM that would give you your IP on the WAN, specifically the IP wtfismyip can see. I meant my IP on the local Wireless network [22:01] Ben64, Ah but that's the thing, I can't have users doing that. I am connecting my Pi to the network and want the users to do minimal work to get the IP [22:01] i don't see how this is related to Ubuntu support [22:02] Ben64, Because my Pi runs Ubuntu [22:02] #ubuntu-arm maybe, but this still seems less like an OS thing, and more like a ##networking thing [22:02] Gotcha, thanks! [22:02] give it a static ip [22:03] OerHeks, not always possible, what if it's taken (sorry, I should've been more clear, the user is connecting a new node to his network) [22:03] It's fine, I'll ask on ##networking [22:03] Thanks anyway [22:04] DorkSector, service discovery. [22:04] there are many MANY ways to do so. [22:04] Joel, let me google that [22:05] Joel, turns out that's very generic, could you be a little more specific please? [22:05] DorkSector, avahi [22:06] that is one of MANY [22:06] apple's famous for creating bonjour [22:08] OK, nm-applet bug report submitted for Ubuntu 12.04. [22:08] thanks for suggesting an update might have broken it [22:09] Joel, hmm, that might be something, thanks! [22:10] I'm usually confused which things should be started with eg "lightdm" and which should be started with "service start lightdm". What's the difference between the types of programs and how do you know which style to use when? [22:12] things you start with service are upstart services. that are base"programs". [22:12] i issued this command tar xvzf rmr2_3.3.1.tar.gz [22:12] and the file got gunzipped and stored in the folder [22:13] but as per instructions i am supposed to issue ./configure [22:13] but if i give that command in the folder its giving an error [22:14] is there a configure script in the folder? see with "ls -al" [22:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10436990/ [22:15] doesn't look like it [22:16] yep [22:16] is there any other way to install that file [22:17] i dont know what you are doing there at all. it sounds like you want to compile something [22:17] i have file that has an extension .tar.gz [22:17] i want to install it , so i used xvzf rmr2_3.3.1.tar.gz [22:18] to zip it and it became a folder [22:18] New_User_Ubuntu: didn't you just installed that ppa? and it gave you that file? the idea behind the ppa is that it'd do all the installing automatically [22:19] bprompt_: i have moved further after that [22:19] k [22:19] i am trying to install the packages for installing R [22:20] New_User_Ubuntu: well. you do have .configure in that listing... so "./configure" should run, assuming the file has execution permission, if not, chmod a+x on it [22:20] New_User_Ubuntu: "./.configure" rather === erlon is now known as erlon_away [22:22] New_User_Ubuntu: you need to get things sorted. you dont install that .tar.gz [22:22] New_User_Ubuntu: that tar.gz includes (or should include) the sourcecode and you want to compile it so you can "install" it. [22:23] New_User_Ubuntu: the site you gave that file from should have instructions what to do with that code. [22:23] https://github.com/RevolutionAnalytics/RHadoop/wiki/Downloads [22:23] hi guys, I´m using Lubuntu 14.04. Sometimes I switch to another Window Manager, which is i3. The issue that I have when I want to connect with another Wifi, I have to switch back to LXDE and choose the another network in the panel. Is there a way to trigger wifi list with a command? [22:23] i got it from that link [22:25] wow [22:25] K1l super [22:26] slowly but steadily learning ...:) === Sir_Lestaty is now known as dumbledore [22:27] aldasgasdf: I use lxde window manager, though I run gnome-network-manager, thus I can put a shortcut to "nm-applet" on any window manager I wish, and get the network connections list, I'd think you could do the same for "i3", and give it a shortcut to a dock or system tray it may have [22:27] m [22:27] h [22:28] bprompt_, thank you for your reply. Should I download the package gnome-network-manager or is this package preinstalled in my lubuntu? [22:29] I have no sound playback in rhythmbox, how can i fix this? [22:30] aldasgasdf: not sure if Lubuntu includes it, but you can check with -> dpkg --list | network-manager-gnome; if not there, then install it, sure -> sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome [22:31] aldasgasdf: and once install, you'd use the "nm-applet" to call the manager from anywhere [22:33] hmmm [22:34] aldasgasdf: sorta missed something therre -> dpkg --list | grep network-manager-gnome: to check for it =) [22:34] What up! Got that indicator working :D === BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away [22:35] bprompt_, thank you. It seems working for me. [22:35] bprompt_, aldasgasdf: `dpkg -l network-manager-gnome | egrep ^ii` The status "ii" is important, because it tells you, whether the package is really installed. [22:36] np === thomas_ is now known as Guest32243 === some1 is now known as some1_ [23:04] guys, is Xfce for Ubuntu undergoing ? [23:05] arun_: what do you mean? [23:05] Xubuntu is pretty current [23:05] its actively being updated, etc [23:06] compdoc: thanks [23:06] k1l: thanks. I got the point. [23:06] hey guys, after upgrading from 14.04.1 to 14.04.2, my display is mostly white and has lines going through it. can't see what i'm supposed to at all. i have intel integrated graphics. but plugging into an external monitor works... [23:07] also, the intel graphics driver installer which works on 14.04.1 gives an error that i don't have any intel hardware when i try to run it on 14.04.2 [23:07] not sure if anyone has any thoughts, i have not had to debug display drivers really [23:07] Don't have a lot of experience with Intel [23:11] Hi guys, can somebody help me briefly on how to install this font https://github.com/lucy/tewi-font to run it on my ubuntu. I've done the steps mention on the page, but I can't still see the font in lxappearnce [23:11] hi. I am trying to play armagetronad on my dual screen setup. but the game is launched on the 2 screens at the same time. How do I set it up to run it on one screen ? I could disable one screen in System Settings > Display. But how to do it without disabling one screen ? [23:13] xfce and systemd have some oddities still [23:13] esp w/ power manager [23:14] adsfadsf: easy, make ~/.fonts, it'd be there already anyway, drop font files there, done :) [23:16] also I appear to be the last person using wicd, but chose it because it just works under i3 without a lot of deps [23:17] solsTiCe, you could try this: export SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=1 armagetronad [23:18] kostkon: yeah: I just found it on the web [23:18] solsTiCe, ;) [23:18] kostkon: does not work :-( [23:21] bprompt_: thank you very much [23:22] np === bastidra1or is now known as bastidrazor === BlackVenom|Away is now known as BlackVenom [23:24] wazzup [23:26] Hi all, my compiz fails to load opengl which means unity can't start after I log in. Any idea how I can fix it? [23:28] spaceindaver: make sure you have the kernel headers to your kernel isntalled and the video driver gets loaded properly [23:28] Okay, how can I check if the video driver was loaded properly? [23:29] see dmesg and Xorg.log [23:29] spaceindaver: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:29] but you can check if the other users can login and have the same issues [23:30] alguem pode xupar minha rola?

[23:32] daftykins, hang on, I am logged into a guest session so I could try searching for a solution, I will log in on the broken account and get the log [23:32] spaceindaver: there's no point, /var/log is system wide. [23:32] there's only one, not one per user [23:32] just run what i said. [23:33] spaceindaver: does it work on the guest account? [23:34] HY every one [23:34] ... [23:34] can someonz help me with my ubuntu problem!! [23:35] not until you describe it [23:36] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10437959/ [23:36] I remove java open jdk form my ubuntu version, restart the computer and it computer can't fonctionne correctly [23:37] daftykins, I can log in as another user and everything works fine, its just my primary account that fails to run unity [23:37] oh ok. nothing to do with graphics drivers then [23:37] Also, sorry for any delays, my internet connection is a little flaky [23:37] daftykins: I remove java open jdk form my ubuntu version, restart the computer and it computer can't fonctionne correctly [23:37] spaceindaver_: login as your affected user at a TTY, then run "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" [23:37] UBUN: ask the channel, not me [23:37] spaceindaver_: if it works for other users then its a user setting. maybe reset the users gnome settings then [23:38] kil, how can I reset the gnome settings? [23:38] you rename the gnome folders [23:38] in your ~ [23:39] daftykins: I did it [23:40] before ask you [23:41] daftylkins, here is the ouput from "ls -al ~/" http://paste.ubuntu.com/10438010/ [23:42] ugh that's messy [23:42] hi. who can help me fix an issue with iptables? [23:42] ##networking [23:43] thank you daftykins [23:43] daftykins: Craploads of Xauthority files in there [23:43] daftykins, yeah sorry, I have had this laptop for a while :-p [23:43] spaceindaver_: can you pastebin ~/.Xauthority and .xsession-errors ? [23:46] daftykins, here is my xsession-errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10438097/ I couldn't do my Xauthority [23:46] how come? [23:47] daftykins, pastebinit crashed with a unicode error [23:47] heh [23:47] any one to help me?? [23:48] your Xorg log suggests you're using only intel graphics on a laptop, so drivers weren't going to be much of an issue [23:48] spaceindaver_: so on your affected user, try "mv ~/.config ~/.configold" then restart, see if unity works [23:48] daftykins, well I have an Nvidia card as well, I use primusrun to launch progams with that [23:49] oh? your log said nothing about it [23:49] UBUN: just ask your question, somebody will anwser [23:49] usually they mention both [23:49] TijG: thank's [23:50] UBUN: what language do you speak? [23:50] daftykins, yeah I thought that was weird too. I'm not sure what I did to break it either, was trying out a game dev library and my system crashed, when I rebooted unity failed to launch, maybe it messed with my configuration in some way [23:50] not if another user works, nah [23:50] so, my ubuntu can't restart after removing java open jdk, what should I do!! [23:51] ubuntu does not rely upon java to run, so that's a bit weird. [23:51] daftykins: french or arabic :) [23:51] !fr [23:51] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [23:51] daftykins, I will mv my config and reboot, see what happens. Thanks for the help though :-) [23:51] no problemo [23:51] UBUN: can't restart? what do you mean? does "sudo reboot" work in Terminal? [23:53] TijG: I means by that, when I restart my computer afer the java open jdk being removing, I can't acess my ubuntu desktop [23:54] UBUN: what doesn't work? what do you expect to see? [23:54] UBUN: How did you remove it, through the Software Center or some other way? [23:54] the graphical interface, does that work? [23:54] do you get some sort of error message? [23:55] TijG: I can not access my desktop on unbutu , he stops in the middle [23:55] UBUN: the middle? [23:57] the defacto development machine for ubuntu .... [23:57] MBP? or a ThinkPad? [23:57] ThinkPad [23:57] TijG: I mean, it can't display the desktop, it stops before [23:58] daftykins, unity is back! thanks for all the help :-)
