| daftykins | spaceindaver: it will have cleaned out all your program saved configs too, so if you go into ~/.configold and move programs back one by one (or just leave out the unity stuff) by moving back into ~/.config you'll be set :) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| spaceindaver | daftykins, great, that fix was a lot easier than I was expecting | 00:01 |

| Dresk|Work | Is it normal right now for the latest Ubuntu LTS to not show proprietary drivers for NVIDIA 900 series GPUs? I have to add a PPA manual from launchpad.net and install the packages manually, as opposed to the "Additional Drivers" tab, and it seems to always cause an error on boot | 00:03 |
| daftykins | rpp601: both are pretty stupid, && means do command 2 if command 1 succeeds | 00:04 |
| k1l | rpp601: one of them only runs the second command if the first command is running fine | 00:04 |
| daftykins | e.g. i usually chain together "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 00:04 |
| bekks | Dresk|Work: Which GPU do you have, in particular? | 00:05 |
| Dresk|Work | bekks, NVIDIA GTX 970, so Maxwell, PCI-E 16x | 00:05 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: launchpad? so xorg-edgers? | 00:05 |
| daftykins | there's no compatible driver built into ubuntu for the maxwell cards, no | 00:05 |
| rpp601 | which is best to run 'super-long-job' && or ; 'notify-me' when it's over -- no matter the result | 00:06 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins, I never quite understood the naming; I started with xorg-edgers but I didn't see packages at that PPA, so I used a launchpad.net PPA (maybe they are the same?) | 00:06 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: the package names on the page differ from what's available, once you install it you apt-get update then it's nvidia-346 | 00:06 |
| bekks | rpp601: When the result doesnt matter, use ; | 00:06 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : Is there a reason for that? The proprietary driver from NVIDIA has supported the 900 series since last September | 00:06 |
| rpp601 | thx | 00:06 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: don't know why Canonical are so slow to package up a newer driver, it's just the way it goes. | 00:07 |
| daftykins | but yeah, don't just install a tonne of PPAs to 'make things work' that'll cause you drama in the future | 00:07 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : Even after adding the PPA I assumed I'd see it under Additional Drivers; is there a reason why it doesn't detect a proprietary driver alternative? Is that just hardcoded / a maintained database by Canonical about the PCI device ID and corresponding drivers? | 00:08 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: pass. | 00:08 |
| TijG | and what with some ATI Mobility cards? I always get ~5% CPU usage from Compiz, all the time | 00:08 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : Well, so far I haven't had luck getting a smooth installation of the driver I need (every boot I get a dkms crash) - what would you recommend? | 00:08 |
| daftykins | 14.04.2, clean install, update... add xorg-edgers, install nvidia-346. sorted. | 00:09 |
| skynetguy | hi | 00:09 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : At that point now, let me add xorg-edgers | 00:09 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: if there's something wrong even then, there's something up with your setup | 00:09 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: you haven't added any PPAs at all yet? | 00:09 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : I just did a fresh install after being unhappy with what was going on prior (where I was using a launchpad.net PPA) | 00:10 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 00:10 |
| TijG | nothing on Compiz using CPU instead of the GFX card? | 00:11 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : See this guy is suggesting this PPA : sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates | 00:12 |
| daftykins | TijG: they haven't been called 'ATI' for years, so maybe you're using some antique that uses the 'radeon' driver only? *shrug* | 00:12 |
| daftykins | Dresk|Work: yeah, no. would not touch. | 00:12 |
| TijG | daftykins: good call, could be! how can I check? | 00:14 |
| daftykins | the device? "lspci" | 00:14 |

| XenophonF | daftykins: can i submit an update for the wiki entry for the macbookpro5,1? | 00:17 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : After downloading the packages, you recommend using nvidia-xconfig to get it using the nvidia driver, or does it automagically adjust X somehow? Last I checked Ubuntu tries to avoid a xorg.conf | 00:17 |
| daftykins | don't do it, no | 00:17 |
| daftykins | Linux as a whole doesn't use a xorg.conf no, it's all auto detect for the most part | 00:17 |

| daftykins | what's the rest of the laptop spec? | 00:22 |
| Dresk|Work | daftykins : So as long as I don't do a dist-upgrade, I can update all packages safely with this PPA? | 00:23 |
| daftykins | nothing wrong with a dist-upgrade at all | 00:23 |
| Dresk|Work | Hm, seemed like I was warned to do a ppa-purge before doing a dist-upgrade | 00:23 |
| daftykins | you might be under the false impression dist-upgrade means an upgrade to a newer ubuntu, which is not what it means at all | 00:24 |
| daftykins | yeah. that's not what dist-upgrade does | 00:24 |
| Dresk|Work | I believe I was under that impression | 00:24 |
| daftykins | i run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade all the time to keep current on a given release | 00:24 |

| daftykins | TijG: definitely not one of the hybrid graphics setups? | 00:24 |
| Dresk|Work | An ATI Radeon? Is it really still an ATi? I gotta look that up, AMD bought them like a decade ago | 00:25 |
| TijG | daftykins: yup | 00:25 |
| TijG | Dresk|Work: could be, it's a habit since I'm always used ATI/AMD | 00:25 |
| Dresk|Work | TijG : As daftykins said, just a heads up, lots of people don't know that ATi used to be AMD's cards, so, that's an AMD card, best refer to it as such | 00:25 |
| Dresk|Work | TijG : The ATi brand stopped completely I believe 7 years ago | 00:26 |

| justace | kostkon: for instance, if im watching movies i dont want the screen to turn off or suspend | 00:40 |

| eddieftw | hey | 02:00 |
| Guest77720 | That's how cutting edge it is. | 02:01 |
| NikolaiToryzin | You're so unique | 02:01 |
| eddieftw | I am having a problem. I am only hosting 2 minecraft servers currently and my ram usage is 311354MB out of 766 for some reason | 02:01 |
| eddieftw | the servers only have 4GB dedicated to it. can someone please help ^^ | 02:01 |
| NikolaiToryzin | eddieftw: swap | 02:01 |
| NikolaiToryzin | You're swapping so hard it isn't funny | 02:01 |
| eddieftw | the swap has 4GB dedicated to it. | 02:01 |
| eddieftw | uhh | 02:01 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Lmao | 02:02 |
| eddieftw | I don't understand. xP | 02:02 |
| GraemeLion | Minecraft servers are hefty beasts. | 02:02 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Just set limits on the jvm | 02:02 |
| eddieftw | we need. | 02:02 |
| eddieftw | we did I mean* java -Xmx4G -Xms4G is the start | 02:02 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Holy fuck man don't xms | 02:03 |
| eddieftw | wat? | 02:03 |
| eddieftw | could that be why? lol | 02:03 |
| NikolaiToryzin | That sets out the amount of ram to allocate | 02:03 |
| eddieftw | so you're saying I should remove that line/ | 02:04 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Java normally allocates memory as it needs it up to xmx | 02:04 |
| eddieftw | so just like this "screen -S mc java -Xmx4G -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -jar cauldron-server.jar nogui" | 02:04 |
| NikolaiToryzin | xms basically says start out using 4 gb of ram totally regardless of it we need it our not | 02:04 |
| NikolaiToryzin | That's a bit more sane | 02:04 |
| tripelb | Correction:. Where do I find Nvidia's driver since nouveau (open source) driver errs in documented bug. NV42GL video card ( =quadro fx 3450 )on Dell core2duo tower. Ubuntu 14.04 - I have tried to find it. Hints? | 02:04 |
| eddieftw | okay okay...what do I do to be exact NikolaiToryzin ? xD | 02:05 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Xms 256 most likely | 02:05 |
| eddieftw | wat? 256 | 02:05 |
| eddieftw | are you sure? lol | 02:05 |
| eddieftw | screen -S mc java -Xmx256M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M -jar cauldron-server.jar nogui so like this? | 02:05 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Just drop xms to something that doesn't try to initially allocate 8 gb of ram all at once on a system with 4 | 02:05 |
| NikolaiToryzin | No, -Xmx4G -Xms256M | 02:06 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Your max is just the most amount of memory it can use | 02:06 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Xmx is max | 02:06 |
| eddieftw | NikolaiToryzin: okay should I try running the server now? | 02:07 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Go for it | 02:07 |

| rpp601 | .... nevermind, i'm a moron | 02:14 |
| GraemeLion | rpp601, we've all done it. Some of us in grand style | 02:17 |
| rpp601 | i was about to ask why i couldn't reattach my screen - when i was IN the screen session. | 02:18 |
| rpp601 | it says screen is running but i can't reattach! *facepalm* | 02:19 |
| eddieftw | NikolaiToryzin: its onl at 4GB now which is...good :P | 02:20 |
| NikolaiToryzin | eddieftw: urras joined to help you figure out some issues with it. | 02:21 |
| eddieftw | ah okay cool. this has happened multiple times to me | 02:21 |
| eddieftw | I have a feeling it'll spike up as soon as I go back to sleep xD | 02:21 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Might want to set a lower xmx | 02:21 |
| eddieftw | it's fine | 02:22 |
| eddieftw | it was probably just the command line thing | 02:22 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Sure, just know that swapping is going to hurt like hell and you're running 2 separate jvms | 02:22 |
| eddieftw | NikolaiToryzin: are you saying that hosting 2 jvms on the same machine is a bad idea..? | 02:23 |
| NikolaiToryzin | eddieftw: I'm saying that 4 gb of ram for 2 jvms allowed to use 4 gb of ram each is pretty bad | 02:24 |
| NikolaiToryzin | On top of that you've got the OSes caching | 02:24 |
| eddieftw | but oyu told me to use that? | 02:24 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Elasticsearch recommends using only up to half of your systems ram under 32 gb | 02:24 |
| NikolaiToryzin | For the heap | 02:25 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Also jvm based so I reckon it applies | 02:25 |
| eddieftw | im only using 8GB in total | 02:25 |
| eddieftw | 4316/27604 being used. | 02:25 |
| NikolaiToryzin | But you've got 4 gb of ram man | 02:25 |
| eddieftw | im confused NikolaiToryzin. are you saying I should allow more ram | 02:26 |
| eddieftw | my dedicated server has 32GB of RAM.. | 02:26 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Wait wait wait | 02:26 |
| NikolaiToryzin | You have 32 gb of actual physical ram? | 02:27 |
| eddieftw | yes.... | 02:27 |
| NikolaiToryzin | ... | 02:27 |
| NikolaiToryzin | You said 4 gb earlier | 02:27 |
| eddieftw | there is literally 32GB of ram on my server.. | 02:27 |
| eddieftw | no no I said 4GB allocated to my mc servers | 02:28 |
| eddieftw | unless I typed it wrong lol | 02:28 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Shit, you're fine then | 02:28 |
| NikolaiToryzin | Just leave a low xms and don't let the xmx of both get over half your 32 | 02:28 |
| NikolaiToryzin | So 8 gb each if you're only running a minecraft server | 02:29 |
| eddieftw | mhm | 02:29 |
| eddieftw | well. | 02:30 |
| eddieftw | 2 servers. each server has 4GB :P | 02:30 |

| kelly69 | hello everyone i have an acer aspire laptop and it comes already with windows 8 in 500GB HDD, now i want to purchase a SSD and i will make the main drive and i want to install Ubuntu inside it, the Q is is it possible to dual boot between Ubuntu and windows each system in separate drive ? could you help me please | 02:37 |
| NikolaiToryzin | You can write a new partion table man | 02:38 |
| NikolaiToryzin | No idea how to do that on Linux, but if you used OS X I could help! | 02:38 |

| meatmanek | hi all. I'm trying to build a 14.04 USB install drive with a custom preseed file. I've been mostly following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization, but I think the mkisofs command is out of date (for example, it doesn't create a hybrid ISO that works on USB drives, nor does it know about EFI.). Does anybody know where the actual Ubuntu build scripts live for building the install isos? | 02:41 |
| Vespero | So what, delete the partitions and then try to recover the raw data? | 02:44 |
| krabador | on pastebinit -h ----> -m [permatag] (default: none) <--- how must i use it ? | 02:44 |
| BornToBeAlive | Hello :) | 02:45 |
| Bashing-om | Vespero: Noramlly, what one does if the data is important is to clone the drive and work on the clone; to preclude additional damage to the data . | 02:46 |
| Vespero | Bashing-om: That's actually a really cool idea. I don't have an extra drive, though | 02:47 |
| Vespero | Huh, Disk Utility says "Disk is OK, 13 bad sectors" | 02:48 |
| Vespero | It can see the partition and its size, but not the UUID | 02:48 |

| philwong | I notice that there is a way to use 14.04 LTS in the KDE environment but it says to install Kubuntu-Desktop in order to do that... will this turn Ubuntu into Kubuntu? | 03:14 |
| peelout | philwong: if you do that. At the log in screen, you can select the desktop you want to run for your session. | 03:17 |
| philwong | peelout: ya but if I install the KDE on Ubuntu 14.04 will it turn Ubuntu Into Kubuntu | 03:18 |
| philwong | according to this | 03:18 |
| philwong | http://askubuntu.com/questions/452083/how-to-install-kde-along-unity | 03:18 |
| philwong | it will, right? | 03:18 |
| MisterMom | philwong, it may change the splash screen but you will be able to use ubuntu desktop or kde desktop your choice at log in screen | 03:20 |
| philwong | so it will still be "Ubuntu" right? | 03:20 |
| philwong | not Kubuntu | 03:20 |
| Guest77720 | You can still call it whatever you like | 03:21 |
| peelout | philwong: not really. Ubuntu runs UNITY desktop. Kubuntu runs KDE. During login you can select unity or kde. Log out now. Above your sign in name click on the little charm. You will only see unity. | 03:21 |
| philwong | hmmm, but then wouldn't it be the same as just installed Kubuntu then? | 03:22 |
| peelout | philwong: no. | 03:23 |
| Bashing-om | peelout: HWE : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack . | 03:23 |

| philwong | which one to choose | 03:32 |
| peelout | philwong: sudo. | 03:32 |
| peelout | philwong: it won't prompt you but at the login screen you can pick the desktop. | 03:33 |
| philwong | ok | 03:33 |
| edenist | peelout, HWE is Hardware Enablement stack. It basically upgrades you to the kernel version of the next release | 03:34 |
| peelout | philwong: if you don't pick one. It will use the last one used. | 03:34 |
| peelout | edenist: Thank you. | 03:34 |

| philwong | another question I had, I understand you can run wine which runs windowds apps, but is it possible for those windows apps to run at ubuntu startup? for example I use a desktop reminding application which is windows based | 03:35 |
| eazy | any one pls | 03:35 |
| edenist | the reason I ask, is that kernel 3.13 didn't officially support the AMD Kaveri APU's | 03:35 |
| eazy | exact procedure and commands | 03:35 |
| edenist | so now that I have upgraded to 3.16, I was expecting the features to now work | 03:35 |
| edenist | but they dont. Most importantly, CPU temperature monitoring is still broken and does not work | 03:35 |
| edenist | It was supposedly patched into the 3.14 kernel's k10temp module.... but it doesn't work | 03:36 |
| edenist | was wondering if anyone else is running a Kaveri APU | 03:36 |
| peelout | philwong: I know it's possible even for wine apps. KDE has a user hidden startup folder to. | 03:38 |
| philwong | cool cool | 03:38 |
| peelout | philwong: the kde startup folder is similar to Windows startup folder. | 03:39 |
| philwong | ok, will check that out | 03:40 |

| kailas | yeah, I have Libre Office and it doesnt quite work as well as I would want | 04:24 |
| buddd | i used netstat to try to figure out my postgresql server, I found a path called /var/run/postg, which I assume is what I'm looking for. its streeam/listening/ 12442 1269/postgres | 04:24 |
| buddd | how do I figure out the ip to plug into postgresl admin | 04:24 |
| GoatMilking | I have a computer with a windows 7 sticker/key etc so a legal copy of windows 7 home premium, a while ago i brought windows 8.1 and installed it and three times its stopped loading and I've had to keep reinstalling it after lots of blue screens etc... it just doesnt like the computer so now I want to go back to windows 7 home prem but i can't find the install dvd, what can I do? | 04:24 |
| Ben64 | GoatMilking: ask ##windows | 04:24 |
| kailas | I need to write a lot of reports and was hopiing to find something newer than Libre Office | 04:24 |
| GoatMilking | damnit | 04:25 |
| GoatMilking | ok | 04:25 |
| Fandroid | Why would you even ask here? | 04:25 |
| GoatMilking | i want to use linux full time but my wife gets angry | 04:25 |
| Fandroid | Dual-boot. | 04:25 |
| EriC^^ | kailas, pdf? | 04:25 |
| Fandroid | Set Windows to the default. | 04:25 |
| GoatMilking | i asked because it seemed like the most silly thing to do | 04:25 |
| buddd | /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQ.5432 | 04:25 |
| buddd | is there a way to figure out the ip here | 04:26 |
| kailas | EriC^^: Yeah pdfs | 04:26 |
| EriC^^ | kailas, there's okular | 04:26 |
| kailas | EriC^^: Does Okular let me write PDFs | 04:26 |
| EriC^^ | i think so, yes | 04:26 |
| kailas | EriC^^: Ahh nice, I will have to look into that then | 04:27 |
| kailas | EriC^^: Thanks | 04:27 |
| EriC^^ | kailas, no problem | 04:27 |
| IPJunkie | kailas: writing PDF's is as easy as using the "export" or "print to file" functions in most Office writers. | 04:28 |
| kailas | IPJunkie: yeah, its just that i feel Libre doesnt have many features that I would have wanted, also everytime I close the odt file, all the formatting is gone, which is really very inconvinient | 04:29 |
| IPJunkie | What do you mean the formatting is gone when you close it? The point of making a PDF is that it will look identical anywhere/way you open it. | 04:31 |
| buddd | where is the etc folder | 04:32 |
| buddd | god my questions are newbish | 04:32 |
| IPJunkie | /etc | 04:32 |
| buddd | yeah but how do I get there through the gui | 04:33 |
| buddd | i need to open a file | 04:33 |
| buddd | oh nm | 04:34 |
| kailas | IPJunkie: So when I create the odt file, I am still working on the report. Before exporting it to PDF, I add pictures to the odt file. If I close this ODT file, and then open the ODT again, all images, Bold text everything is gone. PDF is not really the problem. The odt file is. | 04:34 |
| buddd | man i'm dumb | 04:34 |
| buddd | btw how do you open simple text files through the terminal | 04:34 |
| === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy | ||
| kailas | buddd: gedit file.txt & | 04:34 |
| kailas | buddd: gedit is the program, the & at the end sends the process to the background, so that you can still typr commands on the terminal. | 04:35 |
| IPJunkie | unless you only need to read it in which case "cat file.txt." | 04:35 |
| kailas | IPJunkie: I think I am going to start using LaTeX :D | 04:36 |
| buddd | it said no protocol specified | 04:36 |
| buddd | then a bunch of mumbo jumbo | 04:36 |
| kailas | buddd: what did you type? | 04:36 |
| buddd | gedit postgresl.conf & | 04:36 |
| kailas | buddd: also do you have gedit installed??? | 04:36 |
| buddd | don't remember uninstalling it | 04:37 |
| kailas | buddd: try "cat postgresl.conf" no & here | 04:37 |
| buddd | that works but just spams over my terminal | 04:38 |
| meatmanek | so debian uses the 'debian-cd' program | 04:38 |
| buddd | theres no way to open it in the gui? | 04:38 |
| meatmanek | to build ISOs | 04:38 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, are you in a gui? | 04:38 |
| meatmanek | but ubuntu doesn't seem to use debian-cd. Anybody know what the Ubuntu Installer team uses to build the isos? | 04:38 |
| buddd | so like open it into the gui from the terminal so I can edit it | 04:39 |
| kailas | buddd: yeah, but you are using a Ubuntu system right? I mean is it a GUI session? | 04:39 |
| IPJunkie | buddd: doas the file need you to sudo? | 04:40 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, typing gedit in the terminal says no protocol specified? | 04:40 |
| buddd | on ubuntu gui, but have terminal open | 04:40 |
| buddd | i could just use the trackpad to navigate the folders, but that's annoying | 04:40 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, are you ssh'd in? | 04:41 |
| buddd | i am not that sophisticated. I have a laptop with ubuntu in front of me, everything is on this laptop | 04:41 |
| buddd | some day | 04:41 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, are you running it as your user or root? | 04:42 |
| kailas | buddd: I use vim, but it does have a curve, also check this out, might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=858266 | 04:42 |
| buddd | eric^^ I don't know? | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | buddd: what file are you trying to edit | 04:43 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, open a new terminal and type gedit | 04:44 |
| gtsnexp | Ideas on how to rescale stuff to work with 4k monitors? | 04:44 |
| buddd | this is probably a dumb question, but hwo do you open a new terminal | 04:44 |
| buddd | i only have one terminal i know of :( | 04:44 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, press ctrl+alt+T | 04:44 |
| gtsnexp | some apps don't use system fonts for their GUIs | 04:44 |
| buddd | sweet jesus | 04:45 |
| buddd | it opens gedit | 04:45 |
| gtsnexp | Anyone here working with 4k monitors at all? | 04:45 |
| IPJunkie | buddd: do you remember remapping that shortcut? | 04:45 |
| EriC^^ | ok, if the file you want to edit is in your home dir | 04:45 |
| EriC^^ | just type gedit filename & | 04:46 |
| EriC^^ | or gedit /path/to/filename & | 04:46 |
| buddd | oh yeah, I tried to make sublime do that too, I didn't think I took out geddit tho | 04:46 |
| EriC^^ | buddd, you should know something, type exit to close the terminal, if you press on the button or use alt+f4 it will close gedit as well | 04:47 |
| EriC^^ | typing exit will leave gedit open | 04:47 |
| buddd | this shouldn't be this difficult, does anyone know how to figure out the ip of a postgresql server running on a local computer (my laptop)? | 04:53 |
| kailas | buddd: that should be the ip of your system, you should be able to access it using 127.0.0.1 | 04:53 |
| kailas | buddd: 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address and points back to your computer, it is also called/used as localhost. So whether you use localhost, 127.0.0.1, or your computers ip its the same thing. However if you use your systems ip you will have to update it each time your ip changes. | 04:55 |
| buddd | thanks. its now asking me for a password, but I didn't set up a password for postgresql. it just installed through the repo | 04:56 |
| VolUTFan | hey ya'll hate to ask this ? but can someone give me a hand with simlinking? I know how to do it, but for some reason apache2 isn't liking it. None of the users in the httpd channel are speaking up and wondering if any of you do anything with apache2 | 04:57 |
| VolUTFan | no errors in the apache2 logs btw | 04:57 |

| lesmo | My desktop works fine, but I can't switch to that. Nothing happens. Keyboard is correctly mapped, though. | 06:04 |

| lesmo | Yes. | 06:04 |
| lesmo | Ubuntu 14.10 btw. | 06:04 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | do you have function keys enabled/disabled in bios? | 06:06 |
| Squall5668 | lesmo: perhaps one of those requires a fn key? Can't recall any that would, but... | 06:06 |
| lesmo | t0t4ln00bsaUrU5, Squall5668 it cannot be enabled/disabled on BIOS. They're working fine for switching brightness, and keyboard backlight. | 06:07 |

| crc32 | was this maitenence happening yesterday too? | 06:10 |
| lesmo-phone | Sorry, I locked my self out and couldn't do gdm restart because CTRL ALT F1 didn't work. | 06:11 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | must be some serious maintenance | 06:11 |

| crc32 | yea too bad apt-cacher-ng isn't used to cache updates too | 06:13 |
| Squall5668 | lesmo-phone: can you verify the F keys are working fine? For example shift+f2 should open firefox's console | 06:13 |
| lesmo-phone | I have no idea why, but restarting this machine like 6 times since my problem occurred solved the issue. | 06:13 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | apt-cacher-ng? | 06:13 |
| Squall5668 | lesmo-phone: glad you got it :) | 06:13 |
| lesmo-phone | Sure, let me try. Everything worked fine except CTRL ALT F1 before now. | 06:14 |
| Squall5668 | lesmo-phone: There is no point now that it works. The keys are obviously working. But now you also can't find out what was wrong | 06:16 |
| lesmo | Everything's working awesomely. Damn. Sorry guys... apparently this is a lesson for me to never let my laptop run out of battery. | 06:16 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | yeah, suspending to ram on critical doesn't seem to do it for me | 06:16 |

| david___ | i'm trying to access my samba share that i created on my ubuntu server that i just setup yesterday. i've been fiddling around with the smb.conf file after googling all around trying to find the answer. i am able to access the share on both my laptop and desktop but i don't have write permissions | 06:17 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | give yourself write permisions my friend | 06:18 |
| david___ | i added 'force user = username' to my smb.conf file but it still doesn't seem to like me | 06:19 |
| rbck | how do i jail a user? | 06:19 |
| rbck | i use the guest option? | 06:20 |
| cfhowlett | rbck, that would be the most assured way ... | 06:20 |
| david___ | i suppose i should clarify. i've chmod-ed 777 the shares and tried to give myself permission to write, but i'm getting the access denied message on my win7 machines | 06:24 |
| rbck | dont use windows 7 | 06:24 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | have you given inheritable permissions | 06:25 |
| david___ | please explain | 06:25 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | and, rbck raises a good point, try and refrain from wingblows | 06:25 |
| hateball | Also, even if you have 777 in the linux filesystem, correct permissions need to be set up in samba | 06:26 |
| rbck | it means the permission are handed down the directories path | 06:26 |
| rbck | recursive permissions? | 06:27 |
| david___ | they're setup for each directory. and yes, i've added the samba user | 06:27 |

| crc32 | pnathan: Pretty much. | 06:49 |

| crc32 | can't even do apt-get update effectivly | 06:49 |
| pnathan | Sweet. I'm a SREish person at a company with 100s of servers. Is the admin of the servers providing a status feed? | 06:50 |
| crc32 | thats what I'd like to know. Where is a status page for us.archive.ubuntu.com | 06:51 |
| Squall5668 | pnathan: if it's an emergency, you can always change us.archive to something else, temporarily | 06:52 |
| rww | crc32: there isn't one | 06:52 |
| pnathan | It isn't an emergency…. yet. But I need to identify if I should make changes now (i.e., introducing instability into the fleet), or if I should wait out the downtime | 06:53 |
| Squall5668 | pnathan: I'd wait it out. Remember, it's a Friday. Not a good day to do anything to a server | 06:54 |
| pnathan | :D | 06:54 |
| pnathan | (I also don't want a cascade of executive attention screaming about how Customers Are Affected, etc, etc) | 06:54 |
| duduili | hi | 06:57 |
| crc32 | so how do we know us.ubuntu.archive.com is in maitenance without a status page? | 06:58 |
| izbb_ | 06:58 | |
| jpds | crc32: It's several machines. | 06:58 |
| jpds | crc32: So if there was maintenance, it wouldn't matter. | 06:59 |
| crc32 | jpds: how did you distinguish that from a general outage? | 06:59 |
| cfhowlett | unless you have a crying need to update RIGHT THIS INSTANT, wait. otherwise, switch to a different server and try again. | 06:59 |
| jpds | crc32: "Can you get to google.com?" | 06:59 |
| crc32 | jpds: Yes googling us.archive.ubunto.com yields really old articles. | 07:00 |
| pnathan | So "wait" is not actually an actionable approach for a professional unless we have an ETA | 07:00 |
| pnathan | waiting 8 hours isn't going to be a problem. waiting 80 hours isn't acceptable. | 07:00 |
| cage | You gus know what the limitations are of google hangouts for business use? | 07:01 |
| cage | I guess you should pay if you use it atleast? | 07:01 |
| cfhowlett | cage, ask google? | 07:01 |
| rww | pnathan: I know this doesn't help now, but for future pondering: if you have 100s of servers running Ubuntu, one of them should probably be running an apt mirror. Fixes this problem, and allows you to do patch management. | 07:01 |
| jpds | pnathan / crc32: I can get to us.archive.u.c just fine. | 07:01 |
| crc32 | jpds: did it resolve to 91.189.91.*? | 07:02 |
| jpds | crc32: Yes. | 07:02 |
| === BlackVenom is now known as BlackVenom|Away | ||
| pnathan | rww: yeah, I stuffed it into the backlog. I quite agree. | 07:03 |
| jpds | pnathan / crc32: And what rww said, you have a fleet of maschinen, you should either be using 1) squid-deb-proxy 2) a mirror. | 07:03 |
| crc32 | jpds: Yea using apt-cacher-ng was useless for "apt-get update" | 07:04 |
| jpds | crc32: Yes, apt-cacher-ng is useless. | 07:04 |
| jpds | crc32: squid-deb-proxy is thousands of times better. | 07:04 |
| crc32 | I take it us.archive.ubuntu.com has a high failure rate. | 07:06 |
| mrhellish | :) | 07:06 |
| jpds | crc32: Nope. | 07:06 |
| crc32 | just for the last 48 hours I guess | 07:06 |
| jpds | pnathan / crc32: There's been a security update and everyone's trying to get to security.u.c. | 07:06 |
| jpds | crc32: It usually dies down after a few hours as the updates moves to the mirrors. | 07:06 |
| pnathan | jpds: thanks for the root cause. I'll be looking into the corp mirroring solution soon. :) | 07:09 |
| jpds | pnathan: There's a package called ubumirror that has scripts in it. | 07:10 |

| LoveyouNigga | has anyone worked with wpa2 encryption before? | 07:53 |
| tripelb | Emergency! I was just moving files. They vanished 14.04 - dragging directory and where did it go? Huge too. Not in trash was on USB drive. Just happened ls -RL | grep dirname did not show it. - and yes i did cd into that drive | 08:01 |
| somsip | tripelb: find -type d -name 'dirname' / (or change / for a lower path for a shorter search) | 08:03 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest34030 | ||
| === LoveyouNigga is now known as loveyouguys | ||
| tripelb | Somsip how could this happen. I saw this with only one small dir and ignored it as in must be there but I didnt remember the name of it. I moved many and they all worked. But this was a major thing. | 08:06 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, 20:20 hindsight cp files, verify target in place then delete original :) | 08:06 |
| tripelb | That might have happened before with all the music and movies a few I end gave me. Like a dream. | 08:07 |
| === arya is now known as bipul | ||
| tripelb | Boy that is hindsight. But the files must be there I have done nothing else but write an empty dirname to remind me. | 08:09 |
| tripelb | Not in the trash.let me try the suggestion. | 08:09 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, any chance the mv is still running in the background somewhere? | 08:09 |
| tripelb | I really hate the way unity changes focus to the target directory. | 08:09 |
| === root is now known as Guest46501 | ||
| tripelb | Everything else was fast.that is why I was doing all on the same uab drive so no actual writes would be needed.. | 08:11 |
| tripelb | cfhowlett: ^^^^ | 08:12 |
| bekks | mv needs actual writes, since the inodes have to be modified. | 08:12 |
| tripelb | When you do a write there could be a 2indow of process behind. | 08:12 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, I've learned to use the -verbose option so I can see things. see ps -x and look mv processes | 08:13 |
| tripelb | What does a USB drive use for trash? A hidden file? | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | tripelb, yes, hidden | 08:15 |
| tripelb | ^^^^ fertile idea | 08:15 |
| somsip | tripelb: what filesystem? | 08:15 |
| tripelb | What is not t called. How to reveal hidden files? | 08:16 |

| user1 | how do i install windows on ubuntu machine? don't want to risk wiping it, so do i need to create a partition ahead of time? | 08:49 |
| fels | user1, every1 would say that better install windows first, then near it u install buntu | 08:50 |
| tripelbier | user1 windows must be done BEFORE linux | 08:50 |
| tripelbier | afaik | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | user1, yes, that would be best. and after you install windows, you will need to reinstall grub to get your ubuntu back OR | 08:50 |
| cfhowlett | user1, install virtualbox to ubuntu. put windows in a virtualbox | 08:51 |
| user1 | cfhowlett: isn't that really laggy? | 08:51 |
| cfhowlett | user1, depends on your hardware. | 08:51 |
| user1 | cfhowlett: thinkpad x240, so yeah... | 08:51 |
| cfhowlett | user1, yeah, perhaps not. :) | 08:52 |
| user1 | surely it's possible, like it is with mac OSX | 08:52 |
| cfhowlett | user1, go ahead and install windows, then re-install grub. | 08:53 |
| tripelbier | fels control H is for hidden files. that I didnt forget. but I had asked for an ls command that would let me search on all partitions of all mounted volumes. ... I think he gave me a find command. | 08:53 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | I've actually run virtual machines inside virtual machines inside virtual machines | 08:55 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | just to see if it could be done | 08:55 |
| tripelbier | -verbose option so I can see things. see ps-x and look mv processes (from sfhowlett to me) | 08:55 |
| tripelbier | somsip asked me "what filesystem" ubuntu 14.04 -- is that the answer? | 08:55 |
| t0t4ln00bsaUrU5 | it felt like inception | 08:55 |
| somsip | tripelbier: only when you were asking where trash got stored | 08:56 |

| leeyaa | somsip: yes but if done properly will safe me tons of work | 09:20 |
| Squall5668 | leeyaa: check backports. Manual install is not a very good idea, but it 'depends' | 09:20 |
| somsip | leeyaa: and later when something else needs 'fixing' the client will want the legacy OS updating again, and you will never be able to implement a real solution - upgrade | 09:21 |

| oier | thanks Ben64 but I've already tried what is explained in that site | 09:27 |

| oier | Ben64: actually some months ago it worked, but for some reason it doesn't any more | 09:34 |

| Dazax | Hello, the module acpi_memhotplug was deleted from ubuntu 14.04 ? | 09:36 |
| oier | htqp: because it is set as a compatibility requirement by some applet developers | 09:37 |

| OpenTokix | oier: If your java program need 32 bit java, dont runt hat program. You dont need that kind of negativity in your life. | 09:37 |
| OpenTokix | oier: Them developers are probably wrong, idiots or both. | 09:37 |
| Ben64 | yeah, the way java works it shouldn't matter | 09:37 |
| htqp | or they want you to run JNI, which means more permissions | 09:37 |

| OpenTokix | oier: it ddid not work on 64 bit java? | 09:39 |
| htqp | also make sure you have the same uid in the chroot as outer (otherwise X is going to complain, and progbably you do not want to mess with the x host) | 09:39 |
| oier | OpenTokix: yeah, the applet I'm talking about didn't work with the 64 bit version of java | 09:40 |
| oier | htqp: thanks, I'll try so | 09:40 |
| OpenTokix | oier: Its not an issue with java version instead? - ie you tried to run it on java 8, and the software only works on 6 (like many do) | 09:41 |
| oier | OpenTokix: no, I don't think so. I have already checked my java version, paths, told ubuntu about it etc. | 09:42 |
| OpenTokix | oier: What version are you running. - ie what does java -version say | 09:43 |
| oier | OpenTokix: java version "1.7.0_55" | 09:43 |

| oier | OpenTokix: it's not just that I don't get it working with a specific applet, it's rather that I don't get it working on my firefox browser. I tried testing it on java.com 's default java test site | 09:46 |
| OpenTokix | oier: oh, you mean the java plugin | 09:47 |
| oier | plus I followed all the troubleshooting guide shown on java.com 's site | 09:47 |
| htqp | yea, you want icedtea whicih is in a separate package than the jre | 09:47 |
| oier | OpenTokix: yeah right | 09:47 |
| oier | htqp: If I'm right, I think I want oracle java's plugin instead of icedtea's | 09:48 |
| htqp | why would you want it? | 09:49 |
| OpenTokix | oier: you need the plugin for your webbrowser, - I assume you have the firefox fromrepos? | 09:49 |
| oier | OpenTokix: yes I do. And I have already set the symbolic links | 09:49 |
| oier | OpenTokix: to the right paths, I asure | 09:50 |
| OpenTokix | oier: What links? | 09:50 |
| OpenTokix | oier: The thing is, you need the correct java plugin for your browser. | 09:50 |

| oier | OpenTokix: I guess so | 09:50 |

| oier | thank you guys. I'll set a 64 bit version and see if it works | 09:53 |

| Arlene | Hi i was asked What is the process that runs the mouse on Linux and i was thinking of X | 09:53 |
| Arlene | is it correct? | 09:54 |
| OpenTokix | Arlene: probably, yes | 09:54 |
| Arlene | OpenTokix: can you give me your reason please | 09:54 |
| htqp | Arlene: what is the real problem? what are you trying to achieve? | 09:55 |
| OpenTokix | Arlene: You can have mouse enabled in a text console to, but it is uncommon - if you havent messed around and running like more or less a standard graphical user interface, xorg will handle your mouse. | 09:55 |
| Arlene | htqp: im actually preparing for a linux exam and i saw this question | 09:57 |
| oier | I'm back here | 10:22 |
| oier | I solved my java issue in the sense that now I get it working on firefox | 10:23 |

| oier | OpenTokix: I just loaded the applet I'm supposed to run and it crashed returning me a message of uncompatibility with your system or browser... :P | 10:28 |
| OpenTokix | oier: nice | 10:28 |
| oier | OpenTokix: is there anything I can do to fix this? Should I maybe try to run a 32 bit version of the jvm? | 10:29 |
| OpenTokix | oier: what applet is it? Some inhouse thing? | 10:29 |
| OpenTokix | oier: If its an applet in your browser, you need a 32 bit browser + plugin - jvm can handle whatever. | 10:29 |
| oier | OpenTokix: yes, it's a thing of the Goverment of Navarre | 10:29 |
| OpenTokix | oier: http://sitevale.blogspot.se/p/estas-son-mis-anotaciones-sobre-como-he.html <-- Maybe this will help you, I dont understand the language | 10:30 |
| oier | OpenTokix: aha, I see. So it is related to the architecture | 10:30 |
| OpenTokix | oier: it is related to your java plugin arch | 10:30 |
| mun | hi | 10:30 |
| OpenTokix | oier: Your java plugin launches a java program in your browser. - However, it will also download libary infrasturcture for that program. - And if those libraries is 32 bit, your other stuff also needs to be 32 bit. | 10:31 |
| oier | OpenTokix: thanks again | 10:31 |
| mun | i'm trying to run a python command in a screen without attaching to it. i'm using screen -d -m "python scrtip.py 123" but i can't resume the screen. perhaps it doesn't get created? | 10:31 |
| OpenTokix | oier: There is some java plugin apps I just gave up - only way to get em to run was in a windows vm, with IE and oracle java 6 | 10:32 |
| OpenTokix | oier: took _AWHILE_ to get to work | 10:32 |
| oier | OpenTokix: I find this so crazy... I don't know if I'll succeed with this holy thing. Actually I also have a smartcard reader and all drivers are configured for my 64 bit system so my guess is it will be really tricky | 10:33 |
| oier | OpenTokix: plus, get it working with 32 bit firefox, will be a pain in the hole | 10:34 |
| OpenTokix | oier: Good thing is you can have both 32 bit and 64 bit programs running in your ubuntu. - Its not as elegant, but it works. | 10:34 |
| oier | OpenTokix: I tried some months ago to do such thing and I couldn't, but I'm decided to try it again | 10:34 |
| OpenTokix | oier: Also there is the option of a virtual machine with 32 bit os, or something else | 10:35 |

| mun | yes, without the quotes | 10:43 |
| mun | wel | 10:44 |
| mun | well | 10:44 |

| hateball | fantafe: No need to be sorry, I'm just saying :) | 11:22 |

| fantafe | game0: u want to make the new installed server a DNS server? | 11:27 |
| game0 | just for local | 11:27 |
| game0 | just to be able to use it inside my small network | 11:27 |
| game0 | I didn't make a static DNS | 11:28 |

| bekks | game0: Do you want to setup your own DNS server at home? | 11:28 |
| game0 | yes | 11:28 |
| game0 | this is my first time in doing this | 11:29 |
| fantafe | game0: install bind DNS Server | 11:29 |
| linuxthefish | hi, why was unity 2d removed? | 11:29 |
| fantafe | game0: sudo apt-get install bind9 | 11:30 |
| k1l_ | linuxthefish: iirc was the gnome-base-code removed from gnome. | 11:30 |
| game0 | OK, done | 11:31 |
| game0 | fantafe, bekks done | 11:32 |
| bekks | game0: Now you have to configure it :) | 11:32 |
| fantafe | game0: now u need to configure the /etc/bind files, | 11:32 |
| fantafe | game0: i recommend getting webmin | 11:32 |
| bekks | game0: Like this: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dns-configuration.html | 11:32 |
| bekks | !webmin | fantafe | 11:33 |
| ubottu | fantafe: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 11:33 |
| bekks | Do not use webmin on Ubuntu. | 11:33 |
| fantafe | really i did not know webmin is not recommended for Ubuntu tbh | 11:34 |
| linuxthefish | k1l_ d you know why? unity is horrid on old machines | 11:35 |
| linuxthefish | and if I install xfce4 the network icon does not show up, and if I enable the indicator thing it shows the file menu etc | 11:36 |
| k1l_ | linuxthefish: because gnome and unity (since unity is a gnome shell) use llvmpipe for machines not having 3d. | 11:36 |
| k1l_ | for old machines i would go with Lubuntu anyway | 11:36 |
| linuxthefish | oh | 11:37 |
| linuxthefish | not xfce? | 11:37 |
| k1l_ | !lubuntu | linuxthefish | 11:38 |
| ubottu | linuxthefish: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 11:38 |

| aavrug | popefacto: yes | 11:52 |

| ActionParsnip | rust: why not use the PPA? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: bit easier | 13:06 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: How can I do that !! | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-3; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install sublime-text-installer | 13:07 |
| PaRaD0xxR | hrm, created a new profile, and it loads up (Thunderbird) | 13:07 |
| PaRaD0xxR | hrm | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: plus, when the PPA gets updated, you will get the update too | 13:07 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: thanks but a doubt!! what is difference !! | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: the WebUpd8 guys are maintaning a PPA for this to make it easier for users to install the app as well as get updates | 13:08 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: manual installs wont get the same updates and you will manually need to update the application | 13:08 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: ok!! | 13:08 |
| PaRaD0xxR | somehow my default Thunderbird profile is corrupt, or something | 13:09 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: and other softwares which are in zip file any common method for install | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: if you want sublime2, use ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2 as the PPA address | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: depends on the files, stating is a compressed archive doesnt tell us much | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: same in any OS. | 13:09 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: I installed sublime 3 thx :) | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: how do you install a zip file in Windows? | 13:10 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: just click on .exe | 13:10 |
| rust | after extract | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: but there isnt one, its lots of source code.... | 13:10 |
| rust | I mean | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: there are no binaries in my zip file... | 13:10 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: ohh | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: see what I mean? it's nonesense | 13:10 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: sorry!! | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: stating "its a zip file" doesnt tell you anything at all about the content | 13:11 |
| rust | ActionParsnip: after extract!! I am asking | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: it could be a pack of desktop wallpapers, but its still just a "zip file" | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | rust: after extract, you need to look at the contents | 13:12 |

| cfhowlett | !root | MikeJonesz | 15:07 |
| ubottu | MikeJonesz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | MikeJonesz: this is how the OS is intended to be used | 15:07 |
| MikeJonesz | I want to use root though | 15:07 |
| ikonia | MikeJonesz: you don't | 15:07 |
| MikeJonesz | why? | 15:07 |
| ikonia | MikeJonesz: you need to use the ubuntu security model | 15:07 |
| ikonia | MikeJonesz: why do you need root and not sudo ? | 15:07 |
| MikeJonesz | cause sudo is for niggers | 15:08 |

| ablest1980 | 14.04 lts | 15:30 |
| ActionParsnip | ablest1980: sweet, if your /boot is that small you will need to manage kernels in this fashion so the partition doesnt fill | 15:31 |

| OpenTokix | Knight80: have you started lircd ? | 15:53 |
| OpenTokix | and in that case, did you restart it? | 15:53 |
| Knight80 | OpenTokix I think I have | 15:53 |
| Knight80 | This is what I did:---> /etc/init.d/lirc restart | 15:53 |
| OpenTokix | ok | 15:53 |
| OpenTokix | what does: ps auxwf|grep lirc | 15:54 |

| Knight80 | ls: no se puede acceder a /dev/lirc0: No existe el archivo o el directorio | 15:59 |
| OpenTokix | Dont look like its running afterall, since it say "no such device" | 15:59 |
| OpenTokix | Knight80: you should check in /var/log/syslog and grep for lircd | 15:59 |
| Knight80 | OpenTokix ok | 16:00 |
| OpenTokix | Knight80: Im leaving the office now - but anyway. - lircd is the daemon talking to your device, and creates a device-node in the filesystem that your applikations talk to. - That is the flow | 16:01 |

| freeroute | any idea why this happens? http://imgur.com/Cuc9GgE - the user tst is already added to the sudoers file. | 16:25 |
| bynarie | freeroute, did u edit visudo? | 16:26 |
| genii | freeroute: Odds are it's entry is after some other rule | 16:27 |
| genii | ( assuming that it's syntax is correct) | 16:27 |
| freeroute | this is how my sudoers looks like - http://imgur.com/J1964p8 | 16:28 |
| bynarie | freeroute, thats odd | 16:28 |
| freeroute | I have to edit sudoers using 'sudo visudo', right? | 16:29 |
| bynarie | freeroute, have u tried changing to user "root" and executing? | 16:29 |
| bynarie | yes freeroute | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: the sudo doesnt traverse the redirect | 16:29 |
| xtrumanx | hello, world | 16:29 |
| freeroute | oh | 16:29 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: you clearly dont understand security and the fact you changed your sudoers file just proves that | 16:30 |
| freeroute | I thought adding my user to the sudoers group was the proper method? | 16:30 |
| bynarie | ActionParsnip, your sarcasm doesnt help him fix the problem | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: you need to run: echo "blah" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever.list | 16:30 |
| xtrumanx | i downloaded and installed deb package. what's the best way to keep it up to date? redownloading and installing the deb package everytime there's a new release? | 16:30 |
| genii | ActionParsnip: Good catch | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | bynarie: people "fixing" their computers to have zero security is a little tiring. | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | genii: ;) | 16:31 |
| xangua | xtrumanx: the best way is to stick with the official repositories software | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | xtrumanx: you will need to manually update it, unless the deb adds its own PPA | 16:31 |
| bynarie | ok | 16:31 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: in your command, the only part of the command that had sudo access, was the echo command | 16:32 |
| xtrumanx | ActionParsnip: manually update it entails just redownloading and reinstalling right? | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | xtrumanx: yes | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: I suggest you use the OS with sudo, as intended til you learn your OS a little more | 16:32 |
| freeroute | right, so the redirect is performed by the shell (with regular perms) instead of sudo. | 16:32 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: this is one of the reasons I've set up this VM. | 16:32 |
| xtrumanx | ActionParsnip: thanks... I don't think there's a PPA provided so I guess I'll have to handle it manually | 16:32 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: the sudo doiesn't give access to the redirct part, so if you pipe to sudo tee, it will have access as the tee is ran with sudo | 16:33 |
| freeroute | ok, makes sense. So how does adding my user to the sudoers (as I did) a bad security practice? | 16:33 |
| freeroute | should I instead do "sudo adduser $username sudo" | 16:34 |
| freeroute | ? | 16:34 |
| eFfeM | hi, just upgraded from 12.04 lts to 14.04 lts, but now I get issues about unmet dependencies | 16:34 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: because your user never has to type a password to get sudo access | 16:34 |
| eFfeM | gnupg : Depends: libreadline6 (>= 6.0) but it is not going to be installed | 16:34 |
| bynarie | i was wondering the same thing ActionParsnip , because i also edit visudo | 16:34 |
| eFfeM | how can I fix htat ? | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: and so does any malicious script or any nasty thing online | 16:35 |
| ntsp | I have setup a ubuntu server, configured iptables and hooked it up with ethernet, it doesn't appear to connect autmatically how do I make it do so?(and preferrably at boot) | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | bynarie: ^ | 16:35 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: any process running as yor user has 100% system access without challenge | 16:35 |
| ntsp | ip addr shows the interface as down | 16:35 |
| Croberts | if i use 15.04 beta can i upgrade to the final release when it comes out or do i have to reinstall? | 16:36 |
| bynarie | ActionParsnip, im confused... i edited visudo the same way he did with user ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL and when i run a sudo command, it requires a password | 16:36 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: so a malicious script in a web site could copy itself to the system and start running sudo this and sudo that and do whatever it wants. If you use the OS as installed, this wont work | 16:36 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: but even with my sudoers file like that, it does ask me for the password when I do 'sudo touch bla' for example. | 16:36 |
| bynarie | same here | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | bynarie: why did you make such a change to your security when you clearly dont understand it...? | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | hmmm | 16:37 |
| * ActionParsnip researches briefly | 16:37 | |
| ActionParsnip | ahh yes | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | you didnt add nopasswd | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | silly | 16:37 |
| bynarie | ActionParsnip, im not sure what i did wrong | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | m | 16:37 |
| ActionParsnip | so you added your accounts to sudoers using the file instead of using the sudo access group | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | bynarie: my bad :( | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | freeroute: my bad | 16:38 |
| bynarie | no problem ActionParsnip , so is the method safe then? | 16:38 |
| freeroute | no problem. AFAIK adding the user to the sudoers file was the recommended way (instead of having only the root) | 16:38 |
| ActionParsnip | you can add your user to the admin group and it will give access to sudo. I got confuse then realised you didnt add the no passwd option. You are safe :) | 16:38 |
| Croberts | I want to try 15.04 beta but i am worried when it releases that I will have to reinstall, is that the case or is there an upgrade process? I know with fedora they make it not so easy | 16:39 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: to the admin group or the sudoers group (ala 'sudo adduser $username sudo') ? | 16:39 |
| bynarie | ok thanks ActionParsnip , honestly that was the way i have always done it and never knew another way, but now i do like you said, to add a username to the "admin" group | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | bynarie: absolutely, its just a trikier way to add users to sudo, if you use the 'admin' group you will get the same effect | 16:39 |
| bynarie | ok great.. once again, thanks! | 16:40 |
| ActionParsnip | its been a long day | 16:41 |
| freeroute | no worries, Linux is tedious after all :) | 16:41 |
| boodllebat | i have installed portaudio | 16:42 |
| Croberts | or should i just wait till 15.04 drops for a final release? | 16:42 |
| ntsp | My interface doesn't seem to want to connect I added "auto p2p1\niface p2p1 inet dhcp" and restarted networking but it still displays as down? | 16:42 |
| boodllebat | but i'm unable to find libportaudio.a on this path cp lib/.libs/libportaudio.a /YOUR/PROJECT/DIR | 16:42 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: and re: admin vs. sudo group - http://askubuntu.com/questions/43317/what-is-the-difference-between-the-sudo-and-admin-group | 16:42 |
| genii | ntsp: iface not niface | 16:42 |
| Ben64 | Croberts: whatever you want, but support is in #ubuntu+1 until release | 16:42 |
| ntsp | genii I put \n ti represent a line break :p | 16:43 |
| ntsp | it is iface | 16:43 |
| ntsp | to* | 16:43 |
| Croberts | Ben64: if i use the beta can i upgrade to the final release or do i have to reinstall the os | 16:43 |
| Croberts | i dont usually bug irc for support :) | 16:43 |
| Ben64 | Croberts: it will upgrade | 16:43 |
| Croberts | ok cool thanks | 16:43 |
| genii | ntsp: Bring the interface down and back up again manually | 16:44 |

| === nuc is now known as nucu | ||
| willwh | stevenjames: anything in your console? (I guess firebug) | 17:13 |
| nucu | question: when I enable ufw, I want to auto-accept ufw's prompt, but ufw doesn't seem to have a -y like apt-get.. how do you non-interactively enable the ufw firewall from the shell? | 17:13 |
| === kira is now known as Guest7352 | ||
| lotuspsychje | !firewall | nucu | 17:13 |
| ubottu | nucu: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 17:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nucu: is that when you start the service? | 17:14 |
| stevenjames | willwh one second i'm checking | 17:14 |
| nucu | lotuspsychje: so far, no wiki shows/confirms non-interactive use | 17:14 |
| nucu | `ufe enable` will prompt for user input | 17:14 |
| stevenjames | willwh Media resource https://*********************************** could not be decoded | 17:15 |
| nucu | ActionParsnip: on a new host, in the cloud, I am running provisioning scripts, and start with `ufw default deny; ufw allow ssh; ufw enable`, but enable prompts for input and this hangs | 17:15 |
| willwh | stevenjames: sounds like a codec issue | 17:15 |
| willwh | hmm | 17:15 |
| ActionParsnip | nucu: what do you have to enter? | 17:15 |

| DrGrov | Running 14.04 Xubuntu but installed kubuntu-desktop. How can I easily set up a virtual machine here so I can test the 14.10 Ubuntu regular ISO? | 17:24 |
| lotuspsychje | !info virtualbox | DrGrov | 17:24 |
| ubottu | DrGrov: virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 4.3.18-dfsg-2ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 15722 kB, installed size 59932 kB | 17:24 |
| teward | DrGrov: What exactly are you trying to attain? | 17:24 |
| stevenjames | right. it pops up with a dialog box that says There was a problem playing this track...and that's on any song | 17:24 |
| ule | hi guys.. I have q server with 16gb of memory and when I type free -m or htop or any other memory inspector command, it shows 15gb used. But When I check using htop for example, I can't identify which processes are using these memory.. | 17:24 |
| stevenjames | right. it pops up with a dialog box that says There was a problem playing this track...and that's on any song lotuspsychje | 17:24 |
| ule | Can anyone give me some tip? | 17:24 |
| willwh | stevenjames: try this maybe? https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/soundcloud?src=search | 17:24 |
| stevenjames | hahaha some tip | 17:25 |
| teward | DrGrov: You don't need kubuntu-desktop to use virtualbox, and virtualbox is likely what you're going to need to look into | 17:25 |
| stevenjames | willwh ok one sec | 17:25 |
| DrGrov | teward: I have downloaded the 14.10 regular Ubuntu ISO and want to give it a test run before I decide if I will install it. | 17:25 |
| willwh | ActionParsnip: afk a bit, I'll come bug you about my mute button in a bit ;) | 17:25 |
| teward | DrGrov: well, I don't recommend using VBox to 'test' Kubuntu - not uless you put a LOT of resources into it | 17:25 |
| DrGrov | teward: No, I know but I just wanted to state my current system installed as detailed as possible. | 17:25 |
| teward | DrGrov: you should write to a USB, etc. and then run it in a LIve environment - that's the best way to test performance | 17:25 |
| DrGrov | teward: Resources are no issue. Running a Xeon E5-2620 a lot of RAM. | 17:25 |
| DrGrov | teward: *and a lot of RAM. | 17:26 |
| stevenjames | willwh that's for android | 17:26 |
| x23 | lotuspsychje, tks | 17:26 |
| teward | DrGrov: then use VirtualBox. ALso put as much video RAM as you can into it for the VM | 17:26 |
| Wally42 | Newbie here. I would like some help with my wireless connection on a new install | 17:27 |
| lotuspsychje | x23: did it work? | 17:27 |
| stevenjames | idk i'll keep doing some investigating hopefully something will come to me | 17:27 |
| stevenjames | Wally42 sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter | 17:27 |
| lotuspsychje | Wally42: ubuntu version and wifi chipset? | 17:27 |
| DrGrov | teward: How much is the required video RAM? Is 512MB enough? | 17:27 |
| x23 | lotuspsychje, works! | 17:27 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | x23 | 17:28 |
| ubottu | x23: Glad you made it! :-) | 17:28 |
| teward | DrGrov: unknown - but if you want to test it as close to your system specs as you can, put as much as you feel comfortable assigning the VM within the settings | 17:28 |
| x23 | ubottu, ;) | 17:28 |
| DrGrov | teward: Okay, I got 8GB of RAM and 1GB of video RAM. Not into gaming at all. But CPU is not a key issue here? | 17:29 |
| stevenjames | Wally42 also make sure wireless is enabled. one time i installed Musix on an acer and spent two hours trying to get the driver to work and had to press the physical button on the laptop | 17:29 |
| Wally42 | before we get to deep. Seems like a simple problem. I have a device that appears to be working but it wil not connect. If I ping the router. Nothing. | 17:29 |
| teward | DrGrov: how many cores do you have? Assign as many as you can in multiples of 2. | 17:29 |
| DrGrov | teward: I have 6 cores and 12 threads | 17:29 |
| teward | DrGrov: but leave at least 1 core (or 2 cores if possible) to your computer | 17:29 |
| Wally42 | However Ubuntu says I am connected | 17:30 |
| teward | DrGrov: you're asking someone to give you suggestions on setting up the VM - but the best thing you can do is just run it in a live environment and boot your computer to the liveusb to test performance and such | 17:30 |
| intrader | !logs | 17:30 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. | 17:30 |
| DrGrov | teward: But I am not having a working USB stick at the moment. My dear PNY 16GB USB 3.0 stick is completely out of bounds due to some failure, not sure what it could be ;/ | 17:31 |
| aphrode | . | 17:31 |
| DrGrov | teward: But I do have a 8GB microSD card which I could test with. | 17:31 |
| teward | DrGrov: still not my issue - you could burn to a DVD and test too, but the point I'm making is, the live environment is likely to be most useful. No idea if your computer can boot from a microsd card or not, but you get my point | 17:31 |

| Pythonideus | Hello, I'm trying to use two monitors on Ubuntu 13 and it will only mirror them, which limits my resolution on the monitor with the higher resolution. When I go to displays and turn off "Mirror displays" I get an error message "Failed to apply configuration: %s". I tried using catalyst control center (my cards are AMD) but literally nothing changed when I changed the settings on there. | 17:32 |
| Pythonideus | How do I fix this? | 17:32 |
| lotuspsychje | intrader: it means i pointed you a trigger url where to find the logs you wanted | 17:32 |
| DrGrov | teward: It boots fine from USB pendrives. But yes, I do get you. Will test it out on Vbox first and see what happens. | 17:32 |
| freeroute | ActionParsnip: apparently sudo bash -c 'echo blabla > bla' works as well. Shell is weird :/ | 17:33 |
| DrGrov | teward: Thanks for the help :) | 17:33 |
| xangua | Pythonideus: if by ubuntu 13 you mean either 13.04 or 13.10, please make yourself a favor and upgrade to a supported ubuntu release | 17:34 |
| erichf | Is there a way to open chromium from the terminal -- and point the url to my current file directory? | 17:34 |
| lotuspsychje | erichf: chromium-browser | 17:34 |
| Pythonideus | xangua if I do that will it affect any software I have installed? I have a bitcoin wallet on this OS | 17:34 |
| xangua | Pythonideus: you also have an unsecure unmantained OS | 17:35 |
| Pythonideus | xangua Will it affect my bitcoin wallet though? I just don't want to lose any files in the switch to 14 | 17:35 |
| intrader | lotuspsychje, that is why ubottu posted - aha! However I find the logs difficult to search unless I write an app | 17:35 |
| teward | Pythonideus: you can transfer off the wallet.dat file | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | erichf: and whereis chromium-browser | 17:35 |
| lotuspsychje | intrader: copy paste the logs into an editor and use the search function? | 17:36 |
| teward | Pythonideus: copy your ~/.bitcoin/wallet.dat out to external media - you'll keep your private keys for your bitcoin addresses - but you will need to redownload the blockchain if you do a fresh install of a newer version | 17:36 |
| teward | Pythonideus: make sure bitcoind/bitcoin-qt is not running though when you copy out the file. | 17:36 |
| Pythonideus | teward do you know if that works with electrum? I lost the key that lets you recover the wallet, the 6 word thing it gives you | 17:37 |
| intrader | lotuspsychje, thanks - there is no ready-made tool | 17:37 |
| erichf | lotuspsychje, ty | 17:37 |
| teward | Pythonideus: you can get the 'key' from the running electrum client you know | 17:37 |
| Pythonideus | teward I thought you only got it when you ran it the first time | 17:38 |
| teward | Pythonideus: you can obtain the seed for your wallet from the client - assuming you have the wallet, but that's not my point (FYI, when you say 'bitcoin wallet' be certain to specify the program - there's at least 50 programs for 'bitcoin wallets') | 17:38 |

| freeroute | ActionParsnip: aah like that, yeah that actually makes perfect sense. | 17:51 |
| pixelkats | well its weird, it never showed up before until i did latest update | 17:51 |

| pixelkats_ | well i was thinking of dual booting, maybe windows or fedora | 18:04 |
| dotnetted | is there a clean way to get aptitude to ignore only kernel updates? | 18:04 |
| === zcyclist is now known as ycyclist | ||
| pixelkats_ | most likely windows since i really dont have a need for another linux os | 18:04 |

| Pici | TheBigDeal: Kylin is not a codename, liken Utopic, or Precise is. | 18:05 |

| === ck is now known as Guest13534 | ||
| Pythonideus | I tried using -r in the cp line and it didn't give me any message but it also didn't copy anything | 18:27 |
| teward | Pythonideus: did you mount your USB into /media/usb ? | 18:27 |
| Pythonideus | yes | 18:28 |
| teward | Pythonideus: also, ls -al the /media/usb | 18:28 |
| teward | Pythonideus: in the GUI, .blah files don't display - same for standard `ls` unless you include -a | 18:28 |
| Pythonideus | teward I did ls -al and I see all the files in the flash drive | 18:28 |

| qwerkus | Hello, I remove my nvidia card, and would like to switch back to intel hd graphics. I purged nvidia and reinstall xorg. Login works and desktop with mouse - but unity fails. How do I reset it ? | 18:29 |
| Pythonideus | teward oh I see it now, thanks | 18:29 |
| Pythonideus | teward it still doesn't show up when I go to my file browser and click on the flash drive though, what's up with that? | 18:29 |
| teward | Pythonideus: if you look via the GUI you won't see . files - you have to view hidden files to see it - in the CLI, you have to do `ls` | 18:29 |
| Pythonideus | teward ok thank you | 18:29 |
| teward | Pythonideus: by default, .foobarbaz would be read as a "hidden" file | 18:29 |
| teward | Pythonideus: NEVER trust the file browser's display to be accurate - always check with `ls -al` on the directory, or even `ls -al | grep FILENAME` | 18:29 |
| teward | where FILENAME is a file or directory name (including .) | 18:30 |
| Pythonideus | what does grep do? | 18:30 |
| teward | Pythonideus: filters out the output - searches the output from `ls -al` for the specific string | 18:30 |

| === lenny is now known as The_Troll | ||
| qwerkus | dowwie: edit your /etc/fstab file | 18:32 |
| teward | Pythonideus: while I don't use grep here, you can see what I mean about why it's not showing in the default 'file browser' settings (this is Ubuntu 14.04) - http://i.imgur.com/2Iw8IKK.png | 18:33 |
| teward | Pythonideus: grep is just a way to filter the output if you have a ton of files in the `ls -al` | 18:33 |

| hjkjh | its a video editing tool, couldnt get it to work with wine | 19:02 |
| Vespero | anyone know a good (and basic) image editing tool? Gimp is way overpowered for things like cropping and resizing screenshots | 19:03 |
| Vespero | I used to use a KDE paint-clone, but running a KDE program without using KDE is a pain | 19:04 |

| cynicrus | Hey guys. Can you help me with ptrace? I don't understand. ptrace_peekdata - read only one byte or it can read a buffer by size? Should I read an integer in cycle or I can read integer like SizeOf(Integer)? | 19:05 |
| Vespero | Okay, let's say I have a folder of images and folders inside that folder with images. I want to (via command line) resize any images with a vertical dimension > my monitor size so that vertical dimension = monitor size. | 19:12 |
| Vespero | recursively | 19:13 |
| Seveas | Vespero: you need to look at identify and mogrify (from graphicsmagick) and xrandr. | 19:13 |
| Seveas | And then bash scripting. | 19:13 |
| Vespero | I've done mass image resizing before, but is there a way to specify only images beyond certain dimensions? | 19:13 |
| Vespero | Okay, so I guess identify finds images fitting the criteria, then use a script to feed them through mogrify | 19:14 |
| Vespero | thanks, didn't know about identify | 19:14 |

| bg46z | redemptionsong: apparently so. | 19:59 |
| daftykins | redemptionsong: sounds like you installed with encryption, when the installer had some bug where it installs some tiny /boot partition that can't fit much. in future (and right now) run "sudo apt-get autoremove" occasionally to kill older kernels, that should keep you running along happily when updates crop up | 19:59 |
| daftykins | bg46z: no, not at all | 19:59 |

| TheNumb | pythonideus: proprietary drivers? | 20:02 |
| KeresC | EriC^^, i think mediacom uefi start only windows... | 20:02 |
| pythonideus | TheNumb I have Catalyst Control Center but it's a bit outdated. When I downloaded the new one and tried to open it in the software center I was given the error message "conflicts with fglrx updates" | 20:02 |

| daftykins | TheNumb: you mean shrinking it? since it has no use | 20:02 |
| TheNumb | yup | 20:02 |
| TheNumb | It has a use | 20:03 |
| EriC^^ | KeresC, did you disable secure boot? | 20:03 |
| abaday | sorry wrong channel | 20:03 |
| TheNumb | but It doesn't have to be that big. | 20:03 |
| daftykins | TheNumb: no disk use. | 20:03 |
| daftykins | just poor wording as i was lazy ;) | 20:03 |
| EriC^^ | KeresC, can you get a boot options in which you can select uefi usb to boot? | 20:03 |
| KeresC | EriC^^, yes disabled secure boot and fast boot | 20:03 |
| KeresC | EriC^^, yes but only with efi's windows boot | 20:04 |
| freeroute | k, this is a leap but, is there kind of like a pastebin which gets you a easy to remember URL and raw text? | 20:04 |
| KeresC | EriC^^, tomorrow i wanna try a frankestein usb installer | 20:05 |
| pythonideus | Does anyone know how to update AMD drivers? When I tried I saw "Conflicts with the installed package fglrx-updates" | 20:06 |
| === ninedragon_ is now known as ninedragon | ||
| KeresC | is there any java developer here? | 20:06 |
| teward | pythonideus: i don't think you can use fglrx-updates from the repo when using the upstream drivers you have to compile by hand | 20:06 |
| jatt | #java | 20:06 |
| KeresC | jatt, thanks!!! | 20:07 |
| jatt | yw | 20:07 |
| leptone | what are the standard things i need to do for configuration after a fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 20:07 |
| teward | any GUI tool that works with exFAT partitions | 20:07 |
| teward | ? | 20:07 |
| leptone | can anyone like me to an article | 20:07 |
| teward | leptone: depends on the needs for the system | 20:07 |
| teward | leptone: and what you want to do with the system | 20:07 |
| pythonideus | teward so how do I update my drivers? :/ | 20:08 |
| leptone | just a lightweight laptop | 20:08 |
| leptone | nothing special | 20:08 |
| teward | pythonideus: why do you need to update the drivers? | 20:08 |
| teward | leptone: then you probably don't need to do any additional configuration other than the fresh install | 20:08 |
| pythonideus | teward my display resolution doesn't fill the screen | 20:08 |
| pythonideus | teward it's 1920x1080 but there are black bars on the sides and according to google that's the native res for this monitor | 20:08 |
| teward | pythonideus: so change your display resolution? | 20:08 |
| leptone | teward, i don't need to download drivers or anything? | 20:08 |
| pythonideus | teward this is the maximum resolution listed | 20:09 |
| teward | leptone: if your installer was connected to the internet it should have automatically identified the drivers that it knows exist and installed - if there's a hardware thing NOT working, then you can ask and we can try and find you drivers to install/compile manually | 20:09 |
| teward | pythonideus: if you're going to update with AMD upstream drivers, you have to download the tarball (if AMD has one for Linux), and then run the installation instructions from there to get it working and set up and compiled | 20:10 |
| winterchillz | My clock freaked out - suddenly it went 3 hours and 10 minutes into the future | 20:10 |
| winterchillz | Uh | 20:10 |
| pythonideus | teward the only file I see is a .deb | 20:10 |
| teward | winterchillz: sounds like it's thinking your hardware clock is in UTC | 20:10 |
| teward | winterchillz: there's ways to fix that, one moment | 20:10 |
| darthkaos | sup, testing out the ubuntu mate 15.04 beta on VMWare. Really liking it so far. | 20:11 |
| teward | pythonideus: then download it. uninstall fglrx-updates. try and install that .deb via `sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb` | 20:11 |
| teward | darthkaos: #ubuntu+1 for anything 15.04 related | 20:11 |
| pythonideus | teward what's the command for uninstall on terminal | 20:11 |
| winterchillz | teward: I fixed it manually then set it back to Internet time and it's currently showing the real time | 20:12 |
| teward | winterchillz: in the terminal, `sudo cat /etc/default/rcS` - look for "# assume that the BIOS clock is set to UTC time (recommended)" and tell me the line right underneath it. | 20:12 |
| teward | winterchillz: ok | 20:12 |
| teward | pythonideus: `sudo apt-get remove fglrx-updates` | 20:12 |
| winterchillz | teward: It says 'UTC=yes' | 20:12 |
| teward | winterchillz: if you restart your system, does it jump ahead again? | 20:13 |
| winterchillz | I just installed Ubuntu a couple of hours ago, let me see, teward | 20:13 |
| winterchillz | be right back | 20:13 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: teward :: If you installed the driver from the ati site, you can remove it by running the following;Code:sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh , sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx , fglrx_* , fglrx-amdcccle* , fglrx-dev* .... | 20:14 |
| john_doe_jr | I have a folder w/ subfolders that have similar content but some files are newer…..how would I get a list of files that have a newer creation date between the two folders? | 20:14 |
| teward | Bashing-om: i'll let you help pythonideus, while I help winterchillz - I hate graphics driver issues :0 | 20:14 |
| Bashing-om | teward: K, They can be a real pain .. I still in that process of learning ! | 20:15 |
| teward | Bashing-om: yes, they can be :P | 20:15 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: ^^ one can do the "apt-get remove" as one command if the commas are removed :) | 20:17 |
| pythonideus | Bashing-om sh: 0: Can't open /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 20:18 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: That could be a good thing .. how did you install the ATI (AMD) Graphics driver to start with . | 20:18 |
| pythonideus | Bashing-om downloaded the .deb from ati's website and then double clicked it | 20:19 |
| winterchillz | teward: The time is still correct after the reboot | 20:19 |
| teward | winterchillz: then you're all set - if it jumps ahead or backwards randomly then it might be the hardware clock isn't the way it should be - but letting the system sync with internet time definitely will help keep things updated :) | 20:20 |

| Bashing-om | pythonideus: That file should exist .. what returns -> ls -al /usr/share/ati <- ? | 20:20 |
| winterchillz | teward: Kudos, thanks for your time :) | 20:20 |
| pythonideus | ls: cannot access /usr/share/ati: No such file or directory | 20:20 |
| pythonideus | but I just did sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* a second ago | 20:20 |
| pythonideus | so that's probably why | 20:20 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: Hummm .. Things have changed ? That is the way OEM did install/remove is from that script ... lemme look about .. see that we do this right . | 20:22 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: Befire we remove.re-install.. in this present driver install, did you run -> sudo amdconfig --initial <- ? to configure the config file . | 20:25 |
| pythonideus | Bashing-om dillon@GoldMine:~$ sudo amdconfig --initial Found fglrx primary device section Unable to find any supported Screen sections | 20:26 |
| winterchillz | So, I kidnapped a PC at work today, hid it under my desk and spent hours installing Ubuntu server on it | 20:26 |
| winterchillz | And the server just won't boot up LOL | 20:26 |
| bekks | hours? Thats done in half an hour usually :) | 20:26 |
| winterchillz | not on the PC I kidnapped it seems ;) | 20:27 |
| winterchillz | nothing would happen after the BIOS check, like literally - nothing | 20:27 |
| winterchillz | just black screen with blinking underline on it | 20:27 |
| bekks | !nomodeset | 20:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:28 |
| winterchillz | Thank you, bekks, I'll look into it tomorrow when I stop by the office | 20:29 |
| winterchillz | if not, I'll just steal a better PC lol | 20:29 |
| Bashing-om | pythonideus: Hummm ... stranger and stranger ... what card are we working with ? -> lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 | pastebinit <- . | 20:30 |
| pythonideus | Bashing-om I don't even care about the driver. I just want to set my resolution to 2944x1080 | 20:32 |
| pythonideus | Bashing-om How do I do that? I googled it and the answers are less than satisfactory | 20:32 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: use xrandr to list the supported modes | 20:32 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: if it's not there, add it | 20:32 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: you can calculate the modeline with cvt | 20:33 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: once it's there and added to the display, simply change to it | 20:33 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: this is all assuming you can't just do it with the system settings gui | 20:33 |
| pythonideus | imbezol Bashing-om | sudo xrandr --addmode VGA-0 2944x1080_60.00 | what do I replace VGA-0 with? I'm using HDMI not VGA | 20:33 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: xrandr with no params will list the displays | 20:34 |
| pythonideus | imbezol DFP5 instead of vga? | 20:34 |
| imbezol | if that's the one you want to change | 20:35 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: is 2944x1080_60.00 listed as an available mode already? | 20:36 |
| pythonideus | imbezol No it wasn't. I did "sudo xrandr --addmode DFP5 2944x1080_60.00" and got "GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._gnome_2drr_2derror_2dquark.Code2: could not set the configuration for CRTC 147" | 20:37 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: use cvt to build your modeline to add | 20:37 |
| pythonideus | imbezol I already did "cvt 2944 1080 60" "sudo xrandr --newmode "2944x1080_60.00" 265.50 2944 3136 3448 3952 1080 1083 1093 1120 -hsync +vsync" "sudo xrandr --addmode DFP5 2944x1080_60.00" | 20:38 |

| pythonideus | imbezol http://pastebin.com/CJ62iMkC | 20:41 |
| imbezol | pythonideus: try doing all that without sudo | 20:44 |

| newuser789 | anyone ? | 21:15 |
| hyde | newuser789: so you have a built-in SD card reader in your PC? Sounds like it is recognized as read only device. you could try: sudo mount -oremount,rw /path/to/mount/point | 21:17 |
| v_Sully | @newuser789 I am not sure with Ubuntu but with widows in a situation you could go to its properties and edit to allow read and wright | 21:17 |
| hyde | (check mount point with just mount, find the card mount point from the list it prints) | 21:17 |

| v_Sully | about* | 21:19 |

| newuser789 | v_Sully: tried changing its write permissions with sudo chmod +x and sudo chmod +777 /dev/mmxxx0 but no use | 21:21 |
| hyde | newuser789: does it give some error? did you remember to add the rw option for remount (I believe it is needed) | 21:21 |
| newuser789 | hyde: no not with rw option, let me try again with rw | 21:21 |
| newuser789 | is it with a comma between remount and rw ? | 21:22 |
| hyde | newuser789: yeah | 21:22 |
| Cruizer61 | hello guys :) | 21:22 |
| hyde | (there may be several allowed syntaxes, not sure, but I always use -oremount,rw | 21:22 |

| imbezol | not the partition table, the partition | 21:24 |

| newuser789 | but now how to repair that partition ? | 21:26 |
| newuser789 | or recover files and folders ? | 21:26 |

| hyde | with luck you just overwrote the directory entry, and nothing happened your partition | 21:27 |
| imbezol | hyde: no, it wrote over the partition guaranteed | 21:27 |
| imbezol | hyde: assuming he did it as root | 21:27 |
| hyde | imbezol: doesn't cp replace the file, not truncate and write to same file? | 21:27 |
| Guest9244 | has someone experience with xcalib? I would like to blacken my screen with green text | 21:27 |
| imbezol | newuser789: is the system booted at the moment or no? | 21:27 |
| newuser789 | hyde: it was a small file of few kb's, I don't remember what but nothing of a larger size | 21:28 |
| newuser789 | I'm on live ccd now | 21:28 |
| adrian_1908 | Sorry this is a torrent-client question, I ask here because nobody answers on the other channels. Does anyone know whether I should/shouldn't use the same ports for incoming and outgoing traffic? | 21:28 |
| newuser789 | partition is shown but not getting mounted | 21:28 |
| hyde | newuser789: what does ls -l /dev/sda1 say? | 21:28 |
| hyde | newuser789: and also command: file /dev/sda1 | 21:28 |
| imbezol | newuser789: you'll need to recreate the filesystem on it, then put your kernel and grub back on it | 21:28 |
| newuser789 | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Feb 26 14:11 /dev/sda1 | 21:29 |
| hyde | yeah, it's the device | 21:29 |
| hyde | not regular file with that name | 21:29 |
| imbezol | hyde: cp file /dev/sdX will write the contents of the file to that device | 21:29 |
| newuser789 | how to repair it ? | 21:29 |
| imbezol | hyde: same as if you went cat file > /dev/sdX | 21:30 |
| newuser789 | yeah, now I know it....very meaningfully | 21:30 |
| hyde | imbezol: ok, good to know. I've always used cat (or whatever) and redirecting | 21:30 |
| imbezol | newuser789: you need to "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" to create a new filesystem | 21:30 |
| imbezol | newuser789: then put the required files back on it | 21:30 |
| newuser789 | imbezol: 1st I need to recover the files from it | 21:31 |
| hyde | newuser789, imbezol: wouldn't there be a repair tool? | 21:31 |
| newuser789 | which one > | 21:31 |
| newuser789 | ? | 21:31 |
| hyde | if it was a small file, it might not have overwritten any actual data | 21:31 |
| imbezol | newuser789: you need to create the filesystem first | 21:31 |
| newuser789 | if I'll do anything then files will be overwritten | 21:31 |
| imbezol | newuser789: there's nothing there you can't recover easily | 21:32 |
| newuser789 | there is gb's of data in it | 21:32 |
| imbezol | newuser789: do you have your main partition mounted? | 21:33 |
| imbezol | newuser789: paste the output of "mount" | 21:33 |
| imbezol | newuser789: at pastebin.com i mean | 21:33 |
| hyde | newuser789: and not on the channel, use a pastebin! | 21:33 |
| hyde | :) | 21:33 |
| newuser789 | its a 1TB hdd with a single 1TB partition | 21:34 |
| ntsp | paste.ubuntu.com , not pastebin :p | 21:34 |
| imbezol | newuser789: hmm.. try this first then.. "fdisk -l /dev/sdb" | 21:34 |
| imbezol | newuser789: that just lists the partitions | 21:34 |
| imbezol | er.. sorry, sda | 21:34 |
| newuser789 | cannot open /dev/sda | 21:35 |
| ntsp | with sudo | 21:35 |
| imbezol | newuser789: fdisk -l /dev/sd[a-z] | 21:35 |
| imbezol | newuser789: yes.. with sudo | 21:35 |
| newuser789 | yea, with sudo its showing but without it nothing | 21:36 |
| hyde | (also, as you probably learned, when doing things as root, think twice, because you sometimes can press enter only once) | 21:36 |

| cfhowlett | hyde, dude! great quote! | 21:37 |
| ntsp | I have run 5 different commands that were a single character away from wiping my main data drive :p | 21:37 |
| ntsp | today* | 21:37 |
| newuser789 | the greatest would be the final solution cfhowlett | 21:37 |
| imbezol | newuser789: ah.. so you didn't overwrite your linux boot drive.. you overwrote an NTFS partition? | 21:37 |
| killerspec | Greetings all | 21:37 |
| Sohan | Does anyone know if it's possible to get an ubunti cloud server from linode etc, and install a desktop to connect to remotely? | 21:37 |
| cfhowlett | ... mind = blown! | 21:37 |
| hyde | ouch | 21:38 |
| hyde | also, now I can see why you gave that command... you wanted to copy a file over, then when it didn't work you did it as root. | 21:38 |
| hyde | don't do that again ;) | 21:38 |
| ntsp | Sohan you *can*, not recommended tho | 21:38 |
| newuser789 | yes | 21:38 |
| newuser789 | but now what ? | 21:38 |
| hyde | you need to recover the NTFS partition | 21:39 |
| hyde | I don't know what tools you might use. | 21:39 |
| imbezol | newuser789: you probably need to use a tool like Zero Assumption Recovery or something to get the data | 21:39 |
| imbezol | newuser789: it's likely going to cost you money to recover it | 21:39 |
| imbezol | newuser789: either that or there's a free tool that i don't know about | 21:39 |
| sohan_ | ntsp why not? we're currently using windows servers but the price diff is 8x more | 21:39 |
| ntsp | or... he has a backup(hopefully) | 21:40 |
| imbezol | newuser789: you could try ntfsfix from the ntfs-3g package | 21:40 |
| imbezol | newuser789: but i think without the start it's going to say it can't do it | 21:40 |
| hyde | Sohan: do you want to run full desktop, or do you just want to run individual GUI Linux apps? | 21:40 |
| imbezol | newuser789: there's also testdisk, but again, i think it will fail | 21:40 |
| sohan_ | full desktop | 21:40 |
| newuser789 | I tried copying backup partition table to main partition table using test disk but didnt help, again tried gparted but it said that use windows and do file check but no windows here | 21:40 |
| imbezol | newuser789: and windows chkdsk probably won't work either | 21:40 |
| ntsp | sohan_ there is X11 tunneling if you want to configure it, you can do that but I dont see a reason on why | 21:40 |
| imbezol | newuser789: look into ZAR (zero assumption recovery) | 21:40 |
| Guest9244 | what is the best adblocker? | 21:41 |
| ntsp | Guest9244 adblocker for what? youre in a channel about an operating system | 21:41 |
| newuser789 | dosfsck ? vfat ? | 21:41 |
| ntsp | a* | 21:41 |
| imbezol | no | 21:41 |
| sohan_ | ntsp i've installed a desktop on the server, however i'm not sure how to get to the desktop version instead of terminal | 21:41 |
| Guest9244 | ntsp, for my firefox browser. are there any open source ad blockers? | 21:41 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9244, yes. look in the firefox addon page | 21:42 |
| ntsp | sohan_ some kind of remote desktop program? | 21:42 |
| imbezol | Guest9244: adblocker plus is available as an addon within firefox | 21:42 |
| newuser789 | suggest anything regarding repair and not going for recovery | 21:42 |
| sohan_ | i've tried using rdp and it won't connect | 21:42 |
| ntsp | no idea then never tried to run a desktop enviroment on a headless server :p | 21:43 |
| hyde | newuser789: this channel might not be best place find advice about recovering an NTFS partition | 21:43 |
| newuser789 | where ? channel ? | 21:43 |
| a_ | newuser789, I don't know the amount of damage done, but you can try to make a Windows PE and run tools like Recuva, WinHEX ...etc | 21:43 |
| imbezol | newuser789: this is an open source irc network. google might be better | 21:44 |
| ntsp | 5 hours later... ext4 lazy init is still going o.O | 21:44 |
| a_ | its also recommended to make an image of the hard disk to prevent furthur damage | 21:44 |
| hyde | newuser789: some Windows channel maybe? or, indeed, google | 21:44 |
| cfhowlett | newuser789, ask ##windows | 21:45 |
| newuser789 | making an image of a 1TB hdd is a huge task in itself | 21:45 |
| hyde | now that you know your exact problem: corrupted start of NTFS partition by copying a file over it | 21:45 |
| hyde | if you have spare disk, one thing you can do from Linux is to take full backup of the partition | 21:45 |
| hyde | or whole disk | 21:45 |
| hyde | with dd | 21:45 |
| newuser789 | cfhowlett: problem is that corrupted partition was NTFS but the OS is ubuntu and they will push me back here on #ubuntu | 21:45 |
| imbezol | i just went through this with a 320 gig harddrive from a win 7 laptop. took 2 weeks to get an image onto an NFS share with gnu ddrescue and then a couple days worth of hitting copies of the image with various tools | 21:45 |
| ntsp | why dd ... noone loves car anymore? | 21:45 |
| ntsp | cat* | 21:45 |
| lasko | ew | 21:46 |
| imbezol | fortunately you aren't dealing with a drive with bad sectors so thing should go faster.. but unfortunately it is 1 TB :P | 21:46 |
| imbezol | ntsp: gnu ddrescue is much better because it will skip block with any sign of errors | 21:46 |
| newuser789 | its brand new, 1st day of use and its already fucked up :( | 21:47 |
| imbezol | ntsp: it gets all the data it can get without damaging the drive first, then it goes back and tries a bunch of things to get data off the bad sectors | 21:47 |
| imbezol | ntsp: cat will just get stuck at the bad spots until it hits max errors | 21:47 |
| imbezol | ntsp: probably destroying the drive in the process | 21:47 |
| ntsp | ah... | 21:47 |
| Guest9244 | who is using xcalib? | 21:48 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9244, why? | 21:48 |
| hyde | newuser789: brand new? does it actually contain valuable data? | 21:48 |
| newuser789 | hyde: yes, all my 10 years of digital backup, plus banl passwords etc | 21:49 |
| newuser789 | bank,etc passwords | 21:49 |
| ntsp | and thats why you keep backups folks | 21:50 |
| Guest9244 | cfhowlett, because I having some problem to understand how it works. Currently I use the following command in dark rooms: xcalib -invert -alter. I would like to know how to use the colors to get a better look | 21:50 |
| newuser789 | ntsp: when time goes wrong then backups dont help | 21:50 |
| hyde | newuser789: when you ask help in another channel, you don't have to tell how it got corrupted | 21:50 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9244, instead of asking "who uses this" better to ... actually ask the important questions with pertinent details. | 21:50 |
| hyde | if you're worried they get stuck on such an irrelevant detail | 21:51 |
| newuser789 | this hdd was meant as backup, did cut paste from older drives and shredded them | 21:51 |
| === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O | ||
| newuser789 | now older ones are gone and new one is fucked up too | 21:51 |
| Guest9244 | cfhowlett, thank you for your suggestion | 21:51 |
| cfhowlett | newuser789, family friendly channel here = no profanity. thanks. | 21:51 |
| bekks | newuser789: After shredding the old drives, you had no backup anymore, since your "backup" turned out to be the only copy of your data. | 21:51 |
| hyde | newuser789: if you have any option to do so, I would definitely take a backup of the raw drive at this point | 21:51 |
| ntsp | newuser789 we cant really help with NTFS, its windows filesystem and there are not many tools available in linux for it | 21:52 |
| a_ | newuser789, if its so important, go buy another 1TB hd, clone it using clonezilla | 21:52 |
| hyde | with that ddrescue which was mentioned, probably | 21:52 |
| a_ | beaten by hyde | 21:52 |
| newuser789 | cfhowlett: ok, I'll keep in mind | 21:52 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9244, is it possible that your system color calibrations are off? | 21:52 |
| a_ | newuser789, after that do as i mentioned, winhex+recuva on a windows pe image | 21:53 |
| a_ | newuser789, you can also use a hex editing tool to browse the raw cloned image and search for text info, like bank passwords | 21:53 |
| Guest9244 | cfhowlett, don't know how where to look for. But the invert works for me. I only want to change the white colors when inverted | 21:54 |

| winterchillz | what do you mean with 'start failing'? What's failing in particular ron___ | 22:07 |
| ron___ | not able to boot | 22:07 |
| daftykins | ron___: can you detail what actually happens? | 22:08 |
| === brian is now known as Guest42334 | ||
| ron___ | hard to get dvd to run the install disk to but sooner or later it will | 22:08 |
| IPJunkie | ron___ Did you remove the installation CD/USB before booting it up? | 22:09 |
| daftykins | use a USB flash drive if you can. | 22:09 |
| ron___ | error is boot disk failure I think i did | 22:09 |
| ron___ | remove disk first | 22:09 |
| daftykins | sounds like GRUB didn't install or is on the wrong disk, if there's more than one | 22:10 |
| daftykins | is it an old computer? | 22:10 |
| ron___ | i tried the boot rescue via terminal but the ppa wasnt found | 22:10 |
| daftykins | !bootrepair | 22:11 |
| ubottu | Boot-Repair is a simple tool to repair frequent boot issues you may encounter in Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair for more info. | 22:11 |
| ron___ | sot or had vista originally | 22:11 |
| daftykins | that one? | 22:11 |
| ron___ | That's the one i tried | 22:11 |
| ron___ | Don't think i was actually accessing the internet though | 22:12 |
| daftykins | ah, probably couldn't install it then yeah | 22:12 |
| ron___ | It won't boot from disk right now | 22:13 |
| ron___ | just tried it | 22:13 |
| daftykins | as in, neither hard disk nor DVD? | 22:13 |
| ron___ | I had no other program on the hd & formatted it with another computer for clean install | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | Sata disk, bios mode ide/ahci ? | 22:14 |
| ron___ | as in dvd | 22:14 |
| daftykins | ron___: is it a factory brand system? i.e. HP, Dell, etc? | 22:15 |
| daftykins | i'd reload the BIOS defaults if possible | 22:15 |
| ron___ | acer | 22:15 |
| jhutchins | ron___: What does it actually do when you try to boot? Do you get grub? A blinking cursor? A blank screen? Disk not found? | 22:16 |
| daftykins | ok, typical sort of F2 to enter BIOS then reload defaults if possible then | 22:16 |
| ron___ | sec | 22:16 |
| daftykins | we've already had the answer to that :) | 22:16 |
| ron___ | disk boot failure insert sys disk | 22:16 |
| ron___ | you can start with empty hard drive can't you | 22:19 |
| daftykins | ron___: of course. so, can you try reloading the BIOS defaults? | 22:19 |
| ron___ | ok | 22:19 |

| daftykins | i'm going to imagine it did, and feel happy | 22:30 |

After I downloaded it, and extracted it, I am left with three files: dogecoin-qt, dogecoin-cli, and dogecoind... But, no matter which one of them i double click, I get this response: Could not display “Filename”. There is no application installed for “shared library” files. | 22:48 |
| twiler | Do you want to search for an application to open this file? | 22:48 |
| twiler | But, if I do, it doesn't find anything at all | 22:48 |
| twiler | Soo any help whatsoever would be GREATLY appreciated. | 22:48 |
| IPJunkie | twiler: Do you need to make them executable first? | 22:49 |
| daftykins | open a terminal, navigate to the folder those are in and run "file <filename>" to check what they are | 22:49 |
| twiler | IPjunkie: I don't know, do I? LOL I didn't even know I could do that. | 22:50 |
| daftykins | are you sure the page you got this thing from doesn't have documentation? | 22:50 |
| twiler | Is that option somewhere in properties, IPJunkie? | 22:50 |
| whac-a-retro | By the way, you can left click on the desktop and press Ctrl+Alt+T to open the Terminal | 22:51 |

| krigo | okay, thanks man! | 23:05 |
| whac-a-retro | dougl: can you pastebin the output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 23:07 |
| daftykins | krigo: hrmm, is this a clean install of 14.10 ? | 23:07 |
| dougl | thanks guys | 23:07 |
| krigo | yes | 23:07 |
| krigo | well, not exactly | 23:07 |
| daftykins | krigo: have you done much else since, or? | 23:07 |
| dougl | whac-a-retro, i7 | 23:07 |
| whac-a-retro | dougl: okay | 23:07 |
| krigo | it's xubuntu 14.10 with mesa-3d ppa's installed and graphics drivers updated | 23:07 |
| krigo | to try and get gallion nine working, installation is a day old | 23:08 |
| krigo | #d3d9 told me to come here because for some weird reason i'm using software rendering | 23:08 |
| daftykins | krigo: ooh-err, PPAs ok. that might complicate things. was this after attempting to get an fglrx driver on then, or just wanting to use 'radeon' ? | 23:08 |
| krigo | yes | 23:08 |
| krigo | I used the fglrx driver originally | 23:08 |
| daftykins | which one? :D | 23:08 |
| krigo | and then swapped to radeon | 23:08 |
| krigo | uh give me a second, it was the updated one | 23:08 |
| krigo | fglrx-updates | 23:09 |
| daftykins | krigo: tell you what if you run: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "dpkg -l | grep fglrx | pastebinit" then link me, i'll be back in 5 as i have to attend to a quick house chore! | 23:09 |
| krigo | okay, thanks! | 23:09 |
| krigo | good luck with the chore | 23:09 |
| jesus1 | what is the difference between minimal cd and network installer? | 23:09 |
| vince__ | drt` y5aeh | 23:10 |
| krigo | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10457353/ | 23:11 |
| twiler | OK daftykins, I ran the terminal commands to install that package you pointed me to on github, and then, I checked "allow executing file as a program" in properties, but,now, when I doubleclick dogecoin-qt, I get the following error: Could not display “dogecoin-qt”. There is no application installed for “shared library” files. | 23:12 |
| twiler | Do you want to search for an application to open this file? | 23:12 |
| twiler | So.. what gives? | 23:12 |
| [FR]Dae | Bonsoir, l'un d'entre vous pourrais t'il m'aider avec mon problème ? je n'ai plus de son =) --- Hi ! i have some problemes, i don't have sound can you help me ? | 23:13 |
| bprompt | !fr | [FR]Dae | 23:14 |
| krigo | twiler: daftykins brb'd | 23:14 |
| ubottu | [FR]Dae: 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. | 23:14 |
| twiler | OH did he ,krigo? | 23:14 |
| krigo | yeah | 23:14 |
| krigo | he's doing some chores | 23:14 |
| twiler | Thanks for the heads up, dud | 23:14 |
| twiler | e | 23:14 |
| krigo | no problem | 23:14 |
| jesus1 | Dae alsa or pulseaudio? | 23:14 |
| krigo | he'll get back to you | 23:14 |
| twiler | Do you like, live with him or something? | 23:15 |
| bprompt | hehe | 23:15 |
| [FR]Dae | bprompt please open your eyes ... | 23:15 |
| [FR]Dae | jesus1 i have alsa and pulse | 23:16 |
| bprompt | [FR]Dae: ahemm they're sorta open :), I sorta read your last line after I posted =) | 23:16 |
| jesus1 | is this after a clean install? | 23:16 |
| twiler | What are you two talkin about? | 23:16 |
| daftykins | twiler: in the same terminal where you ran "file dogecoin-qt" try running "./dogecoinqt" | 23:17 |
| [FR]Dae | jesus1 heuuu nop i have instal / unstall some paquet | 23:17 |
| twiler | OJK daftykins! | 23:17 |
| twiler | WB, btw :) | 23:17 |
| daftykins | krigo: ok doesn't look like anything left that'd be a problem, wouldn't hurt to run "sudo apt-get purge fglrx* " though (note the asterisk) | 23:18 |
| jesus1 | [FR]Dae there's the ubuntu-fr channel if you want to write in french | 23:19 |
| [FR]Dae | jesus1 i have testing purge and install all alsa pkg | 23:19 |
| twiler | Aww snap, dafty! | 23:19 |
| daftykins | did we win? | 23:19 |
| [FR]Dae | what is the good word for pkg ? | 23:19 |
| twiler | So, that worked like a charm | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | intrader: No. Superfish is adware bundled with Lenovo's Windows machines. It has no relation to Ubuntu at all. | 23:19 |
| twiler | Yeah, we did | 23:19 |
| jesus1 | weird | 23:20 |
| krigo | daftykins: dpkg: warning: while removing fglrx, directory '/usr/lib32/fglrx' not empty so not removed | 23:20 |
| krigo | any problem with that, or am i good to restart? | 23:20 |
| jesus1 | Dae what was the pack you installed before problems started? | 23:20 |
| daftykins | krigo: no need for reboot right now, nothing relevant has changed yet really. can you run "lspci" in a terminal and paste in your graphics card line here? | 23:21 |
| krigo | okay | 23:21 |
| twiler | daftykins: So, I was meaning to ask you earlier about that "./" command, will i need to enter that EVERY time I want to run a program, or just iummediately after installing one? | 23:21 |
| krigo | daftykins: http://pastebin.com/99d8CqgQ | 23:21 |
| [FR]Dae | jesus1 [FR]Dae for hl | 23:22 |
| daftykins | twiler: i think it's something to do with running apps meant for another desktop environment (KDE) on unity (standard ubuntu DE) so right now for this app, you'd have to do it each time yep - but i'm sure a more knowledgable volunteer can answer how to get them running by double click | 23:22 |
| [FR]Dae | i have install à QT update | 23:22 |
| [FR]Dae | and ... maybe GTK pkg | 23:23 |
| hfound | i'm using quake in ubuntu 14.04 trusty does anyone know a way to make it show up on the other monitor as i'm using 2 | 23:23 |
| hfound | trying to make it show up by default on the other monitor | 23:23 |
| daftykins | krigo: hrmm, so what was the galion (sp) thing you mentioned? and what was the PPA to add? | 23:24 |
| twiler | aww maaan, I was afraid of that, daftykins, oh well; you still get a cookie! If you remind me how to do it, that is lol | 23:24 |
| krigo | daftykins: https://wiki.ixit.cz/d3d9 | 23:24 |
| krigo | and the ppas: | 23:25 |
| krigo | ppa:commendsarnex/ixitmaster | 23:25 |
| krigo | ppa:oibaf/gallium-nine | 23:25 |
| krigo | ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers | 23:25 |
| krigo | ppa:commendsarnex/mesadri3test | 23:25 |
| twiler | !=cookkie | daftykins | 23:25 |
| twiler | != Cookie | 23:25 |
| ubottu | Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 23:25 |
| twiler | daftykins != Cookie | 23:26 |
| krigo | they brought me here from the irc, because for some weird reason I'm getting software rendering on Ubuntu instead of the radeon driver. | 23:26 |
| twiler | != Cookie daftykins | 23:26 |
| ikonia | twiler: enough please | 23:26 |
| daftykins | krigo: pretty sure it's line 395 that's the culprit, [ 29.803] (II) [KMS] drm report modesetting isn't supported. | 23:26 |
| twiler | ikonia: What? | 23:27 |
| ikonia | twiler: please stop trying to blindly invoke the bot | 23:27 |
| daftykins | krigo: do you get any output if you type "sudo modprobe radeon" in the terminal? | 23:28 |
| twiler | Ikonia: Surely my whopping THREE attempts to give daftykins a cookie couldn't have REALLY affected you that much? | 23:28 |
| krigo | daftykins: i get this, modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:816 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='off' | 23:28 |
| krigo | modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'off': Function not implemented | 23:28 |
| ikonia | twiler: I asked you not to do it after the bot had already repsonded and you kept going | 23:28 |
| jesus1 | Dae i don't se how that kills your sound | 23:29 |
| jesus1 | sorryi'm at a loss here | 23:29 |
| twiler | ikonia: The bot had responded to a blank attempt, not one for daftykins, but, you know what? YOU are right. I apologize. | 23:29 |
| ikonia | twiler: no need for sorry | 23:30 |
| EbonyDDRWay | omg hi guys | 23:30 |
| daftykins | krigo: hrmm not really sure what to make of that error! give it a reboot then to be sure and give me a fresh "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 23:31 |
| EbonyDDRWay | my name is ebony dark'ness dementia raven way | 23:31 |
| krigo | sure, just give me a second, just reported my dmesg on #d3d9\ | 23:31 |
| twiler | wow, Ebony, that's quite a name for yourself!! | 23:32 |
| EbonyDDRWay | fangs (Geddit cos im gothic) | 23:33 |
| EbonyDDRWay | its not my real name lol | 23:33 |
| daftykins | EbonyDDRWay: i would love to discuss the family origins of your name over in #ubuntu-offtopic , but if we could keep this to ubuntu support only please, that'd be great :) | 23:33 |
| EbonyDDRWay | oh, my sincerest apologies | 23:33 |
| twiler | Hey, daftykins, how does one go about changing rooms again? | 23:35 |
| twiler | "/join #channel_name_here" | 23:35 |
| daftykins | that's the one | 23:36 |
| EbonyDDRWay | ok as long as I'm here I was wondering, a bit unused to having two operating systems on the one computer but would it be easy to switch between ubuntu and windows | 23:36 |
| EbonyDDRWay | lol you guys must think im a right moron | 23:37 |
| EbonyDDRWay | :( | 23:37 |
| daftykins | once installed, it's a simple case of rebooting and picking which one you want to start from a menu | 23:37 |
| EbonyDDRWay | oh right | 23:37 |
| EbonyDDRWay | lol i thought it'd be more complicated than that | 23:38 |
| votlon | hey guys i installed openvpn on ubuntu 14.04 on a virtual machine, and im not able to connect to it to test it. Would i not be able to access it from the host machine? | 23:38 |
| EbonyDDRWay | although i could do a virtual machine too like VMWare | 23:38 |
| EbonyDDRWay | I think | 23:38 |
| daftykins | votlon: depends if you used bridged networking and so they're both on your home network's IP set | 23:38 |
| daftykins | EbonyDDRWay: yeah that's another option, definitely avoids the install and boot hassles that can arise - especially with modern windows 8 laptops and so on | 23:39 |
| votlon | daftykins: Are you talking about inside server.conf? or on the virtual machine settings. To my knowledge they both are correct :) | 23:40 |
| EbonyDDRWay | ah I have win 8.1 | 23:40 |
| EbonyDDRWay | maybe a virtual machine would be easier then, thanks | 23:40 |
| daftykins | votlon: so both are on a 192.168.x.x kind of address on your physical LAN? | 23:40 |
| votlon | daftykins: my virtual machine is a static ip outside of my dhcp and the host is on dhcp. Both have the same subnet | 23:41 |
| daftykins | good stuff, yeah well that's the main part then. are you reading the logs to see what's up? | 23:42 |
| votlon | daftykins: no i havent checked the openvpn logs, i guess i should have done that xD | 23:43 |
| votlon | lemme google where they are located | 23:43 |
| daftykins | yip whenever you're dealing with a new service, logs logs logs :D | 23:43 |

| * daftykins reads | 23:47 | |
| daftykins | krigo: hmm i think those PPAs are just changing too much of the default install i'm afraid, is this a heavily modified system? if you're not far off i'd start again with a clean install and be sure you see 'radeon' working fine to start, then add those other things one by one | 23:50 |
| votlon | daftykins: I dont really know what to make of the log its kinda empty. http://pastebin.com/zygUTR0u This leads me to assume that maybe my configuration is wrong. | 23:50 |
| daftykins | votlon: i'm not familiar with openvpn to tell you i'm afraid, i'd just browse all around /var/log to see if anything is relevant. some stuff VPN related comes up in "dmesg | tail" or syslog too i think | 23:52 |
| votlon | daftykins: okay ill look around, thanks for the advice | 23:52 |
