| kitomaza | hello how install .net framework in xubuntu 14.10 ? | 00:02 |
| labsin | magnulu, They are at Keyboard>Shortcuts | 00:03 |
| daftykins | kitomaza: what specifically are you trying to do? | 00:04 |
| magnulu | daftykins: works in the guest account too | 00:04 |
| magnulu | great | 00:04 |
| kitomaza | i want to install and run one progrram Readon tv radio player | 00:04 |
| daftykins | magnulu: ok so it's something in your user's config, is this unity? | 00:04 |
| magnulu | daftykins: no, xubuntu | 00:04 |
| OerHeks | kitomaza, install wine i guess > https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17886 | 00:05 |
| kitomaza | thanks you | 00:05 |
| labsin | kitomaza, or mono | 00:05 |
| daftykins | magnulu: hmmm ok, you could try checking out where xfce puts its' config, possibly ~/.config/xfce or similar, then rename that folder to another, log out and back in to see if it fixes it | 00:05 |
| magnulu | daftykins: yeah, I'll try.. anyways, I'm much closer to an answer thanks to your very simple test | 00:06 |

| Secret-Fire | how can i add my windows 7 partition to grub manually? | 00:11 |
| daftykins | run update-grub, it should auto detect it | 00:11 |
| fengshaun | I have installed ubuntu on my hdd, but I swapped my motherboard and uefi doesn't recognize it anymore. how can I add the installation to uefi again? | 00:12 |
| Secret-Fire | daftykins: i tried that it detected my linux install but then no volumes found | 00:12 |

| fengshaun | OerHeks: was that for me? | 00:13 |
| daftykins | Secret-Fire: ^try OerHeks idea | 00:13 |
| Secret-Fire | no volume groups found | 00:14 |
| daftykins | fengshaun: no. so you originally installed in EFI mode? | 00:14 |
| fengshaun | daftykins: yea | 00:14 |
| OerHeks | ah | 00:14 |
| Secret-Fire | its a clean install not corrupted | 00:14 |
| daftykins | fengshaun: enter it and check what your device is, or try hitting a one-time boot menu key if you have one on power on | 00:15 |
| fengshaun | daftykins: what my device is? | 00:15 |
| fengshaun | it's installed on /dev/sda3 | 00:15 |
| fengshaun | if that's what you mean | 00:15 |
| fengshaun | and there is no entry in efi | 00:15 |
| daftykins | you're saying it doesn't list any boot devices being present? | 00:16 |
| daftykins | and what do you mean sda3? is it a dualboot setup? | 00:16 |
| fengshaun | it is multiboot | 00:17 |
| fengshaun | I have gentoo running too | 00:17 |
| fengshaun | and its grub configs are on /dev/sda1 which is /boot | 00:17 |
| daftykins | are you typing from this system now? | 00:17 |
| fengshaun | no | 00:18 |

| daftykins | fengshaun: "sudo parted -l" show the disk ok? | 00:18 |
| fengshaun | yea | 00:18 |
| fengshaun | the disk is ok | 00:18 |
| daftykins | what was the first OS on? | 00:19 |
| fengshaun | /dev/sda | 00:20 |
| fengshaun | ubuntu is on /dev/sdb | 00:20 |
| daftykins | no, which OS was the first installed? :) | 00:20 |
| fengshaun | I don't remember | 00:20 |
| fengshaun | can I not just add an efi entry? | 00:21 |
| daftykins | you're kinda using terms that you maybe figure make sense, but they actually don't :) so it took a while to grasp what you're saying | 00:21 |
| daftykins | it should just read the disk and be auto, so i haven't seen the need to manually add anything. | 00:22 |
| daftykins | why did you change board? | 00:22 |
| fengshaun | defective | 00:22 |
| daftykins | new one on the latest update yet? | 00:22 |
| fengshaun | when you first install ubuntu, it does add it | 00:22 |
| fengshaun | but I already have it installed | 00:23 |
| fengshaun | what? | 00:23 |
| fengshaun | I guess I could just reinstall | 00:24 |
| daftykins | have you followed any of these numerous guides online on efibootmgr usage? | 00:24 |
| daftykins | https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Restore_Ubuntu_UEFI_Boot_Entries_after_BIOS_Update | 00:25 |

| daftykins | studentz: 46 is the latest, what do you mean? | 00:30 |
| daftykins | studentz: are you saying you want to run utopic's hardware enablement stack, so the 3.16 kernel? | 00:30 |
| studentz | daftykins: in the news of the update it's written the kernel will be 3.16. (I'm running Trusty). If it is possible to install the 3.16 kernell will be nice ;) Thanks | 00:33 |
| daftykins | no that's an optional thing | 00:33 |
| Ben64 | studentz: do you actually need 3.16? if not, you should stay on 3.13, its supported longer | 00:34 |
| daftykins | you have to elect to use the HWE | 00:34 |
| daftykins | !hwe | 00:34 |
| ubottu | On August 7, 2014, Ubuntu 12.04.5 will deliver the kernel and graphics stack from 14.04. At that time, security updates and bug fixes for older hardware enablement stacks will cease.

| Secret-Fire | GRUB2 won't recognize my windows 7 install, i have tried updating grub and os-prober and i get no volume groups found | 00:34 |
| studentz | In my laptop yes I have GTK 860 M . | 00:34 |
| Ben64 | studentz: that doesn't require 3.16 | 00:35 |
| studentz | Ben64: yes Nvidia GTX 860M | 00:35 |
| studentz | it requires something bigger than 3.15 | 00:35 |
| daftykins | studentz: you are wrong | 00:35 |
| Ben64 | no it does not | 00:35 |
| Secret-Fire | can someone help me add my win7 install to grub manually? | 00:37 |
| studentz | Ben:I have tried to run nvidia and everything failed. I stopped doing it. Productivity is more important for me | 00:37 |
| Ben64 | studentz: upgrading the kernel won't fix that | 00:38 |
| Ben64 | studentz: might help if you actually asked about the problem you're having though | 00:38 |
| daftykins | ^+1 | 00:38 |
| studentz | Ben: I'm in a list of a Bug-report and I'm not the only one. Some people get lucky using Kernel 3.15 . However; as I told you at this moment productivity is more important. ;) | 00:41 |
| Ben64 | studentz: i'm telling you, explain your problem | 00:41 |
| daftykins | studentz: this is an optimus laptop yes? | 00:42 |
| studentz | yes | 00:42 |
| akurilin | question: do scripts put into /etc/cron.hourly on 14.04 work as intended or is there any additional config I have to put in place to make it work? | 00:42 |
| daftykins | studentz: so then without an nvidia driver installed at all it'll run on the intel, productivity = fine | 00:43 |
| Ben64 | nvidia-331 is in 14.04, and supports the 860M | 00:44 |
| daftykins | i'm more getting at it not even being needed | 00:44 |
| daftykins | nouveau might be crapping out though, dunno | 00:44 |
| p3rror | is there any tools that can tell with process consume memory on a time t | 00:45 |
| studentz | daftykins: yep. I'll try in a couple of months Thanks Waiting for Ubuntu Phone in USA. :) | 00:45 |
| Ben64 | yeah i'm just saying, theres probably a way to make it work easily, although i'm about to give up since apparently studentz doesn't want help | 00:45 |
| daftykins | i concur | 00:46 |
| daftykins | p3rror: 'on a time t' ? | 00:46 |

| studentz | Ben: can u point me to right direction. NP. I want help but my system is stable, and my work is in there. No much time. If u guide me I'll do it | 00:47 |
| cuddylier | As if there is a process still on it | 00:47 |

| natewalck | So this is a stupid question | 00:55 |
| cuddylier | It says ID 1571 | 00:55 |
| cuddylier | hmm | 00:55 |
| natewalck | but is it possible to simulate a ubuntu system having / go read-only? | 00:56 |
| phre4k | natewalck: overlayfs? | 00:56 |
| natewalck | I need to test some odd behvior and replicating the read only state is part of it | 00:56 |
| daftykins | boot recovery mode, that's in read only as default | 00:56 |
| phre4k | natewalck: you could spin up a VM and remount | 00:56 |
| natewalck | I have a VM ready to go | 00:57 |
| natewalck | tried.... | 00:57 |
| Ben64 | cuddylier: thats the parent | 00:57 |
| natewalck | sudo mount -f -o remount,ro / | 00:57 |
| cuddylier | hmm I see that now, thx | 00:57 |
| natewalck | but no love | 00:57 |
| natewalck | I could still create files, etc | 00:57 |
| phre4k | natewalck: strange. mount output? | 00:57 |
| natewalck | nothing returned | 00:57 |
| natewalck | it acted like it worked | 00:57 |
| phre4k | ^ mount -l after doing remount | 00:58 |
| natewalck | k, let me try that | 00:58 |
| natewalck | /dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (ro,errors=remount-ro) | 00:58 |
| natewalck | but I can touch files, etc | 00:58 |
| richie_ | Hi - i got a problem with MusE sequencer software, not recognising the system midi ports. Was fine up until a day ago. Any advice? | 00:58 |
| Ben64 | natewalck: are you sure you're in the right mountpoint | 00:58 |
| phre4k | ^ | 00:59 |
| natewalck | should I explicitly specify /dev/sda# | 00:59 |
| Ben64 | no... | 00:59 |
| phre4k | natewalck: try -n option | 00:59 |
| natewalck | the VM only has one partition | 00:59 |
| natewalck | / | 00:59 |
| phre4k | -n: mount without mtab | 00:59 |
| natewalck | include -f as well? | 01:00 |
| phre4k | lol, -f is actually "fake" :D | 01:00 |
| natewalck | LOL | 01:00 |
| natewalck | fail | 01:00 |
| natewalck | I got busy without it | 01:00 |
| natewalck | thats funny | 01:00 |
| natewalck | k, says it is busy | 01:00 |
| natewalck | I want to force it | 01:00 |
| Ben64 | you don't need to force a remount | 01:01 |
| phre4k | natewalck: sync before? | 01:01 |
| natewalck | sudo mount -n -o remount,ro / | 01:01 |
| natewalck | mount: / is busy | 01:01 |
| natewalck | even with a sync | 01:01 |
| Ben64 | no | 01:01 |
| Ben64 | sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/null / | 01:02 |
| natewalck | I need it to have the filesystem there, but read only | 01:02 |
| natewalck | mounting /dev/null would make it mount nothing, right? | 01:02 |
| phre4k | s/null/sda | 01:02 |
| Ben64 | no, use /dev/null | 01:02 |
| phre4k | really? | 01:02 |
| Ben64 | yep | 01:02 |
| natewalck | if I ls / | 01:02 |
| natewalck | will it show the files? | 01:02 |
| Ben64 | yep | 01:02 |
| natewalck | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 01:03 |
| Ben64 | weird | 01:03 |
| phre4k | ^ | 01:04 |
| Ben64 | works perfectly here | 01:04 |
| Ben64 | maybe you mistyped? | 01:04 |
| phre4k | mount --version? :p | 01:04 |
| natewalck | sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/null / | 01:04 |
| natewalck | mount from util-linux 2.20.1 (with libblkid and selinux support) | 01:04 |

| natewalck | 14.04 | 01:06 |
| natewalck | Ben64: I cut and pasted what you wrote | 01:09 |
| natewalck | same deal | 01:09 |
| natewalck | let me try it on a fresh boot | 01:10 |

| geomyidae_ | Yes. | 02:21 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs: you'll need a pretty recent driver yes, probably 346 from xorg-edgers | 02:21 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs: install that before trying to resolve the screens | 02:22 |
| bobdobbs | hi geomyidae_ . Possibly a little gaming. But I just wanted lots of headroom for my day-to-day use. | 02:22 |
| geomyidae_ | Well, I guess w/ nvidia I'd say "go proprietary" | 02:22 |
| === Guest67535 is now known as CharlotteFields | ||
| bobdobbs | geomyidae_: that use includes running lots of things in the browser, including testing browser animations. | 02:22 |
| geomyidae_ | but I don't know enough about AMD/flgrx to say otherwise | 02:23 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 02:23 |
| geomyidae_ | well, Chrome expects a hardware accelerated desktop these days in some cases... and you'll certainly be sad w/o it | 02:23 |
| bobdobbs | yeah | 02:23 |
| bobdobbs | besides, I tax my onboard CPU a lot. So I wanted to take some pressure of my previous video card, which is an old, low-end | 02:24 |
| bobdobbs | * old, low end gtx (I think) | 02:24 |
| aarreguin | hi | 02:24 |
| bobdobbs | geomyidae_: downloading prop drivers from nvidia now | 02:25 |
| geomyidae_ | GL! | 02:25 |
| bobdobbs | GL ? | 02:25 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs: that is a bad move, i've already stated the best way. | 02:25 |
| geomyidae_ | GL = good luck | 02:26 |
| daftykins | add the xorg-edgers PPA, update your package lists, install nvidia-346 | 02:26 |
| geomyidae_ | I hope "downloading prop drivers" = using ppa | 02:26 |
| bobdobbs | daftykins: you recommend going with the open-source drivers? | 02:26 |
| geomyidae_ | bobdobbs: daftykins is right | 02:26 |
| daftykins | no, read what i said. | 02:26 |
| daftykins | your card won't work with nouveau | 02:26 |
| bobdobbs | ok, reading back and digesting... | 02:26 |
| === dm7freek_ is now known as dm7freek | ||
| geomyidae_ | it might not mean a lot if you don't know what a "PPA" is | 02:27 |
| daftykins | which is the point where you begin asking questions :) | 02:27 |
| geomyidae_ | but it's a package source that will enable you to pull a "good" deb of the nvidia drivers | 02:27 |
| geomyidae_ | rather than using nvidia's installer/etc | 02:27 |
| bobdobbs | oh yeah, I know what PPA is | 02:27 |
| bobdobbs | ok | 02:27 |
| bobdobbs | hmmm.... I'm getting an interesting warning from apt about installing that particular PPA | 02:29 |
| bobdobbs | http://pastebin.com/7MjGzEFa | 02:29 |
| daftykins | what did you run? precisely. | 02:30 |
| daftykins | i don't see anything to be concerned about | 02:32 |
| bobdobbs | I'm looking at this banner after running 'add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa' | 02:33 |
| bobdobbs | I didn't hit 'y' | 02:33 |
| bobdobbs | so... if I read that right, installing this PPA could cause issues, and I should compile the driver I want from source? | 02:33 |
| bobdobbs` | hey, sorry. I fell off the network for a bit (jiggled cable) | 02:33 |
| bobdobbs` | dod | 02:33 |
| bmelcher84 | i have been thinking of installing ubuntu 14.04 on my imac but i have heard a lot about heat issues and stressing the computer. anyone have any opinions on this? | 02:33 |
| bobdobbs` | did I miss anything? | 02:33 |
| _X_C_V_B_ | how do I disable https redirect in nginx in iredmail | 02:34 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs`: i don't see anything to be concerned about | 02:34 |
| Ben64 | bobdobbs`: ppa is the best option for something that isn't in the ubuntu repositories | 02:34 |
| Squall5668 | bobdobbs`: no, it just says that you shouldn't grab a random package and install it. You are fine | 02:34 |
| bobdobbs` | I'm guessing this is for cutting edge xorg packages? | 02:34 |
| daftykins | _X_C_V_B_: why would you choose to avoid encryption 0o | 02:34 |
| bobdobbs` | Ben64: is there a way to tell if drivers for my new video card aren't already in the default repos? | 02:35 |
| Ben64 | bobdobbs`: they aren't | 02:35 |
| _X_C_V_B_ | daftykins: where's the config file | 02:36 |
| bobdobbs` | Ben64: interesting. | 02:36 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs`: for the love of tux, i told you to do what you're doing for a reason. just do it already! | 02:36 |
| dejavou42 | is there any reason why ttyS0 wouldn't be in /sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty ? | 02:36 |
| bobdobbs` | daftykins: your help is much appreciated, honestly. I just prefer to do a little googling and stuff before I commit to doing an action where I have no idea what side effects may exist. | 02:37 |
| bobdobbs` | daftykins: Like, I'm pretty used to ubuntu. But I'm no expert on video drivers. | 02:37 |
| laughingtiger | join ##politics | 02:38 |
| laughingtiger | join /##politics | 02:38 |
| daftykins | bobdobbs`: ok, but nvidia maxwell cards are not supported by any default repo driver, hence the above action. i've told many a person this process and all do fine | 02:38 |
| laughingtiger | wtf | 02:38 |
| daftykins | laughingtiger: the slash goes first. | 02:38 |
| bobdobbs` | I just keep seeing little things that tell me that *maybe* I should be concerned about side-effects, cos of things like the message at the top of this page: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/source/xorg-edgers-ppa/ | 02:38 |

| bobdobbs` | daftykins: thanks | 02:40 |
| dejavou42 | after a little research, I found that you can enable wakeup in /sys/devices/platform/serial8250/tty/ttyS0/power/wakeup , but ttyS0 isn't in that folder | 02:40 |
| bobdobbs` | daftykins: does it matter that I'm using 12.04? | 02:41 |
| daftykins | no | 02:41 |
| daftykins | look at the lower section, the filter has 'precise' which is 12.04 | 02:41 |
| daftykins | so add the PPA via the guide on that page, then "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-346" | 02:42 |
| daftykins | oh, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-settings" is a tad better as you get the GUI program too then | 02:42 |
| bobdobbs` | cool. I'll do it | 02:42 |
| bobdobbs` | cool | 02:42 |
| bobdobbs` | I thnk I've got that program already. I've used it to config twinview before | 02:43 |

| bobdobbs | Ben64: thanks. installing now | 03:15 |
| bobdobbs | right. Now before, you asked me | 03:15 |
| bobdobbs | asked me to paste the output of a command. What was that command? | 03:15 |
| Ben64 | "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia" .... "lsmod" .... "ls -ld /var/lib/dkms/*/" | 03:15 |
| bobdobbs | aw damn. pastebinit errors out with a syntax error :( | 03:16 |
| Ben64 | you're not typing the whole thing i said above, are you? those are 3 separate commands | 03:18 |
| pero | i'm having frequent 100% cpu utilizations with the latest version of firefox on ubuntu 14.04 (it also happened with the previous version) - and often times the process is still active and at 100% even after quitting | 03:18 |
| fuki | correction, i have ubuntu 14.04.2 | 03:18 |
| bobdobbs | Ben64: I'm doing things incrementally, because I can't copy and paste the string you | 03:19 |
| bobdobbs | 've given me (no mouse) | 03:19 |
| bobdobbs | first off, I just tried running'pastebinit'. This returned a syntax error from the python script called by that command | 03:19 |
| daftykins | well you can't run it without giving it something | 03:20 |
| daftykins | here's a simple example before you work up to Ben64's request, "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 03:20 |
| bobdobbs | ok. I think I'll try running that from a shell within emacs. that way I might be able to copy and paste and run the command (although shells within emacs often have trouble with some pipe operations) | 03:21 |
| bobdobbs | daftykins: yeah, even that returns with a syntax error. It's a problem with the script itself | 03:22 |
| daftykins | *facepalm* | 03:22 |
| bobdobbs | facepalm? | 03:23 |
| bobdobbs | I'm telling ya: it's an error being returned from any invocation of pastebnit | 03:23 |
| daftykins | either your machine isn't connected to the internet, or running these commands the way you are isn't working for them | 03:24 |
| bobdobbs | I'm definately connected to the network: I'm running this irc client from the problem computer | 03:24 |
| daftykins | ah | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | but even just running that example command you gave me returns the syntax error from the python script | 03:25 |
| daftykins | well i don't know what to say | 03:25 |
| Ben64 | ok try this one.... "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999" | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | k | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | hehehe... failpile... | 03:25 |
| bobdobbs | ok, that command works... but | 03:26 |
| daftykins | you seem to keep pressing enter a tad too soon :P | 03:26 |
| bobdobbs | but I can't copy what it returns, cos I can't navigation within the shell buffer | 03:26 |
| Ben64 | type it, its not hard | 03:26 |

| fuki | cfhowlett, it just hangs whenever the config file is being generated | 03:43 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1372587 suggested executing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", which has the exact same outcome | 03:44 |
| cfhowlett | fuki best to ask again in channel. I'm definitely no grub expert | 03:46 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, thanks anyway, i suppose if this continues i'll just have to reinstall or something | 03:47 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, do you have maybe an idea of whever i could fine logs which might be relevant for such an issue? | 03:48 |
| cfhowlett | fuki, great question! there should, of course, be an error message! could you add a -verbose trigger to your dpkg-reconfigure command? | 03:49 |
| bobdobbs2 | ok, back again... on my other computer. After rebooting, I got dumped to a terminal again | 03:50 |
| bobdobbs2 | again, I trued to start lightdm, and all my TTY's became unresponsive | 03:51 |
| bobdobbs2 | I've had to hard reboot again | 03:51 |
| bobdobbs2 | what can I try now? How do I get X back? | 03:52 |
| iFlip_ | Silly question, but I've never really been in this situation. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LAMP and would like upgrade my LGA771 dual core chips to a quad core chips. Would I be able to upgrade without reinstalling the OS. I'm concerned about reinstalling the OS because I don't want to tear down my SOFT RAID. | 03:53 |
| iFlip_ | All the forums seem to be split | 03:55 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, trying that now, seems like there a quite a few output options | 03:55 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, seems like theres some file which is not being processed | 03:58 |
| fuki | cfhowlett, but not much more then that so far | 03:58 |
| Squall5668 | iFlip_: you should have no problems swaping cpu | 03:58 |
| iFlip_ | Squall5668: I was hoping that was the case. Seems pretty straight forward and I'm not running anything special besides the core | 03:59 |
| bobdobbs2 | oh crap! I just did |apt-get update", and its *re-installing* nvidia-331! | 03:59 |
| bobdobbs2 | fuuuuuuu | 03:59 |
| bobdobbs2 | the driver that will not die! | 03:59 |
| bobdobbs2 | sorry, 'apt-get dist-upgrade' | 04:00 |
| Squall5668 | iFlip_: soft-raids are pretty scary though. You should really backup | 04:01 |
| Squall5668 | I hate them... though that's probably just me | 04:01 |
| bobdobbs2 | Ben64: should I do that "purge" operation anyway? the one that removes 1Gb of files? | 04:02 |
| iFlip_ | Yea, at the time i didn't have a hardware controller and I was setting it up on the cheap cheap. I wish I had an equal drive space to back up to is the problem. :) didn't really plan ahead when I first purchased everything. | 04:02 |
| Squall5668 | iFlip_: everytime your use RAID without prior planning, a penguin dies. Instead of a new cpu, might I suggest a new drive for backups? :) We are getting offtopic though | 04:03 |
| iFlip_ | Squall5668: true - I've already started getting more 3tb drives for backing up and being better prepared to scale. | 04:04 |
| iFlip_ | Squall5668: Thanks for the advice and insight. | 04:04 |

| cfhowlett | fuki, niiiiiiiiiiice | 04:24 |
| fuki | i had to drill down the logs, but eventually i figured out the issues was the "update-grub" command, and when i looked at its log it seemed it was stuck on the os_prober, so i chmod -x'd it | 04:24 |

My question is, Is it possible to install this HDD on another PC and retrieve the data on it like you'd do with a FAT or NTFS formatted HDD? TIA!? | 04:25 |
| cfhowlett | Kchikmo, should be doable | 04:26 |
| Kchikmo | cfhowlett: Thanks ... I dont mean to boot the new machine with it, just use it as a secindary drive while I retreive important data on it | 04:27 |

| KnowTheUnknown | also i noticed ubuntu has no firewall or at least i don't know how to access the settings, does ubuntu come with a firewall? | 04:33 |

| ubottu | KnowTheUnknown,: 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 | 04:34 |

| newuser789 | while using a live cd for recovery or other purposes, if I want to search something online and flash is needed then where should I install/copy libflashplayer.so file (from official adobe tarball) to ---> in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ or /usr/lib/firefox/ or /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins ? updating repos and installing from it is a lengthy and time/data consuming process for searching something online as everything will be lost | 06:28 |
| lotuspsychje | newuser789: try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:31 |
| newuser789 | lotuspsychje: like I said, if something is needed to be searched for online instanly then installing anything from repos is not good as it requires updation of repos and then install afterwards which is a lengthy process and that too temporary as its a live cd | 06:32 |
| MichaelHabib | hi, is there a quick way to find out if my Live OS / ISO is already detecting / using the casper-rw file ? | 06:32 |
| lotuspsychje | newuser789: using a livecd is a temporary thing right | 06:34 |
| newuser789 | lotuspsychje: yes | 06:34 |
| lotuspsychje | newuser789: chromium has builtin flash, but also needs to be installed | 06:35 |
| tomhardy_ | can i enable login even if encryption was previosuly enabled? | 06:37 |
| newuser789 | well, I can dpkg install chromium without needing to update repos + installing of packages but again its a big file not needed whhen I already have a good browser built in (firefox), I just need flash, which is 6.9mb tarbball download from adobe and cp'ing it to specified directory is good enough | 06:37 |

| newuser789 | tomhardy_: !explain | 06:39 |
| tomhardy_ | I want to turn my computer on and have it automatically login. I'm using ubuntu 14.04 and it currently asks me a password for the encryption stuff when i boot the computer up | 06:39 |

| newuser789 | well, once an encryption is set, it can be opened up by password/passphrase only, other than formating drive you can't open it without password tomhardy_ also there are ways to set it auto-login, its doable | 06:42 |

| newuser789 | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21205545/linux-auto-mount-encrypted-folder-by-auto-login tomhardy_ without a password, encryption is not possible, as you you need to decrypt afterwards which requires some method of authentication which itself is a password in its own way | 06:46 |

| === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` | ||
| newuser789 | tomhardy_: updating repos and then installing ubuntu-restricted-extras packages is a useless and lengthy process (not to mention wastage of bandwidth and time) on a live cd for just searching something online which requires flash, also the package installs lots of extra stuff which is not needed, keeping a backup of adobe flash tarball and cp'ing it to browser directory is handy, I only wanna know where should I copy it to ? | 06:51 |
| newuser789 | ---> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ or /usr/lib/firefox/ or /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/ ? | 06:53 |
| Squall5668 | newuser789: it's probably in your ~/.mozilla folder. But flashplugin-installer is probably less than 10kb. A quick online search says that you should have a 'nullplugin.so' you can find if you aren't sure | 06:55 |

| Squall5668 | mysupper: can you rephrase that? Are you trying to edit ntfs permissions? What exactly are you trying to do with the ntfs drive? | 07:35 |
| mircx1 | ok how i can fix this please? | 07:35 |
| Ben64 | mircx1: you really need to give more information | 07:35 |
| mysupper | Squall5668, , http://paste.ubuntu.com/10463681/ , this is my current mount state. I can't change permissions of files of mounted volume , ntfs. | 07:36 |
| mircx1 | ok | 07:36 |
| mircx1 | i try install anope services in ubuntu 10.04 | 07:37 |
| mircx1 | and after this i get error in configure | 07:37 |
| mircx1 | in other system ubuntu 14 this run ok | 07:37 |
| mysupper | Squall5668, actually I want my server files located on that. Like apache web sites , plex media server files...on and on. | 07:37 |
| Squall5668 | mysupper: ntfs does not support the 'normal' kind of permissions that filesystems like ext do... what you are trying to do, is a very very VERY bad idea | 07:38 |
| mysupper | Squall5668, but when I trying to use that /dev/sdb1 ntfs , I always get permission errors. | 07:38 |
| mysupper | Squall5668, so you suggest me to format as linux file system? | 07:38 |
| mysupper | Squall5668, it's my personal webdav and plex server , so I don't worry that much. | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | mircx1: you're having problems with anope? | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | yes | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | but | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | mircx1: that is not supported here | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | no | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | no problem with anope | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | problem with cmake | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | compiling anope, right? | 07:39 |
| mircx1 | i download from link | 07:40 |
| Ben64 | well anope still isn't supported here, sorry | 07:40 |
| wonky | Ben64, so what's the verdict --remove gcc et alia? | 07:40 |
| Ben64 | wonky: i'd say just libc6-dev-amd64 | 07:41 |
| Ben64 | everything else appears like they play together well | 07:41 |
| RELOADING | cousin it's your cousin | 07:41 |

| bekks | mysupper: Its not even a bad idea, its not possible to use it that way you want. | 07:41 |
| bekks | mysupper: you need to use ext4, e.g., instead of ntfs. | 07:42 |
| wonky | Ben64, right, bbs | 07:42 |
| mysupper | bekks, ok thx. I will try linux format /dev/sdb1 ntfs. | 07:44 |
| mysupper | but I should risk of my wife's complaing using win7 on that file system. | 07:44 |
| mysupper | :( | 07:44 |
| bekks | mysupper: no fair chance to do so. | 07:45 |

| dinosaur | I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and just before a moment it went completely crazy. I tried grep something. It tells me that there is not such a command. Then I tried to repeat it - the same. Then switch to root - turns out that bash also doesnt' exist. Further investigation revealed that less is also not installed. I had had all of that programs just a moment before this crash. I know it because I used them. I have no idea was it going on. A bit | 08:01 |

| wonky | Ben64, OK sounds good, thanks for your help | 08:03 |
| dinosaur | bekks: tried ls, grep, bash, /usr/bin/sudo -s /bin/bash, less. cd works. I have just seen logs saying something that the disk database is malformed | 08:05 |
| dinosaur | bekks: cd works. I did cd /, then echo * and I can see that the directory /bin doesn't exist | 08:05 |
| bekks | dinosaur: What was/is the _exact_ output? "Something" is not targetting. | 08:05 |
| Ben64 | wonky: try this.... "sudo dpkg --force-all remove libc6-dev-amd64" | 08:05 |

| Eray | But its cannot be compiz, because there is no login screen :( | 09:14 |
| MyChris__ | winterchillz: lol after installing grunkq I killed a bunch of stuff because my WM wasn't working after typing "unity" as instructed.. | 09:14 |

| MyChris__ | bad idea. | 09:15 |
| winterchillz | yup, most definitely MyChris_ lol | 09:15 |
| winterchillz | Eray: Sorry I can't be of help, mate | 09:15 |

| MyChris__ | or as far as I know. | 09:16 |
| MyChris__ | could be something shouldn't be force killed half way through writing something haha | 09:16 |
| winterchillz | I usually always end up re-installing my Ubuntu | 09:16 |
| winterchillz | because I'm bad and I feel bad | 09:16 |
| Ben64 | MyChris__: you should never use startx | 09:17 |
| winterchillz | Yea, I think it was lightdm instead of startx | 09:18 |
| winterchillz | or was it? | 09:18 |
| Ben64 | sudo service lightdm start | 09:18 |
| winterchillz | cheers | 09:19 |

| MotoAir | MyChris__ meaning you are in terminal most of the time? | 09:20 |
| Eray | Is 'Compiz' start after logged in ? or booting ? | 09:21 |
| MyChris__ | generally I used fedora on desktops back in like 2005-2006.. | 09:21 |
| MotoAir | with no gui? | 09:21 |
| MyChris__ | MotoAir: My job involves management of services running on ubuntu-server boxes. | 09:21 |
| MotoAir | MyChris__ oO nice | 09:21 |
| MyChris__ | management/deployment/etc. | 09:21 |
| MotoAir | what kind of businesses might i ask? | 09:21 |
| MyChris__ | Game Publishing | 09:21 |
| MotoAir | interesting | 09:22 |
| Eray | Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel, is it bad ? | 09:22 |
| MyChris__ | Luckily they prefer having developers write the software for linux strictly and it's a global policy between our parent company and EU division to run Ubuntu 12.04 specifically. | 09:22 |
| MotoAir | the closest i get to that is deploying chrome boxes running ubuntu on them on businesses networks to gain remote access with teamviewer | 09:23 |
| MyChris__ | Though we're supposed to be moving to 14.x soon. | 09:23 |
| MotoAir | ahh | 09:23 |
| MyChris__ | I've just installed it on my laptop, I wanted to do my desktop as well... | 09:23 |
| MyChris__ | but we only develop clients for Windows and I have to make sure things function properly. | 09:23 |
| MyChris__ | Which was when I discovered passthrough capabilities but my 4770k at home nor at work have the vt-d capabilities. | 09:24 |
| MotoAir | MyChris__ sounds complicated | 09:24 |
| MyChris__ | passthrough?, you've never heard of it? | 09:25 |
| MotoAir | oh no not that, all the work you are doing | 09:25 |
| MyChris__ | not really.. | 09:25 |
| MyChris__ | just software deployment. | 09:25 |
| MotoAir | ive always been a hardware guy | 09:25 |
| MyChris__ | The only complicated thing I did was debugged a stack corruption because the devs wouldn't listen to me | 09:25 |
| winterchillz | Lol, damn those devs :p | 09:26 |
| MyChris__ | I wound up pointing out in their own code they were freeing a stack pointer before using it.. | 09:26 |
| MyChris__ | due to a CURL setops param. | 09:26 |
| MyChris__ | without having their code ofc lol | 09:26 |
| MotoAir | sounds greek to me | 09:26 |
| MotoAir | :p | 09:26 |
| MyChris__ | I've done tons of reverse engineering in my time... just not so much desktop nix. | 09:27 |
| winterchillz | I feel you, MotoAir | 09:27 |
| MyChris__ | or kernel modification or such. | 09:27 |
| Eray | YEAH, I fixed my issue with dpkg :) I think compiz problem is maked this issue. Thank you everyone :) | 09:27 |
| MyChris__ | I wish I understood more. | 09:27 |
| MotoAir | i mainly deploy voip, managed wifi, and medium size business IT services | 09:27 |
| MyChris__ | Eray the one with the blinking cursor or something else? | 09:27 |
| MotoAir | winterchillz haha | 09:27 |
| Eray | MyChris__: blinking cursor when booting | 09:28 |
| winterchillz | Eray: what did you do? | 09:28 |
| MyChris__ | MotoAir: I'm the "Senior IT" with no one under me.. and I get told that there's no such thing as "It's not my job" | 09:28 |
| MyChris__ | Due to it being a startup even though it's technically not. | 09:28 |
| Eray | oh sorry not blinking, just freeze cursor. Recovery Mode > dpkg reconfigure | 09:28 |
| Eray | for corrupted packages | 09:28 |
| winterchillz | Cheers, Eray, might come in handy next time :) | 09:28 |
| Eray | I think compiz is corrupted. But I know its starting after logged in.... its interesting | 09:28 |
| MotoAir | MyChris__ i have others below and above me, i use to be on my own, but i like the community of IT and grouping together on projects | 09:29 |
| MyChris__ | Oh Eray in my instance it's blinking. | 09:29 |
| winterchillz | MyChris__ to be fair, if I had to choose, I'd probably pick a startup, much more things to work on | 09:29 |
| Eray | I wish u can fix MyChris__ your issue :) | 09:29 |
| MyChris__ | MotoAir: Well I have a 'team' just not locally our EU division and I work together they have 4 people. | 09:29 |
| MotoAir | i see | 09:29 |
| MyChris__ | winterchillz: that's the thing we're just a startup of a branch.. | 09:29 |
| MyChris__ | the parent company is HUGE. | 09:29 |
| winterchillz | I'm a QA Engineer on contract for quite a big company but I can't resist to urge to go into other teams job when they need help | 09:30 |
| winterchillz | ah, I see | 09:30 |
| MyChris__ | we're just a branch into a new region | 09:30 |
| MotoAir | ever worked with ubiquiti product? | 09:30 |
| karhu | Q: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS having trouble booting up and shutting down. First boot leaves screen black\blank - starts magically working after hard powerdown and immediate restart...? | 09:30 |
| karhu | also hi | 09:30 |
| muh2000 | hi all | 09:30 |
| MyChris__ | MotoAir: not that I know of. | 09:30 |
| winterchillz | karhu: I have the same issue after I attempt a terminal reboot, during startup I'm just left with black screen, no idea what might be causing it | 09:31 |
| MotoAir | karhu i would imagine there is some command you can punch in and it will create a log file, then reboot and then hard restart and see what it says.. only thing is, i dont know the command :p | 09:31 |
| MyChris__ | I think the most interesting thing is I've managed things I never would've touched in the past.. | 09:31 |
| MotoAir | i would imagine a verbose tag would be in there somewhere | 09:31 |
| MyChris__ | ex4200 switches, srx firewall.. | 09:31 |
| muh2000 | i need some help. i am trying to use my powerbutton as "standby button" but it is not working :( | 09:31 |
| mortal | weirdness.. the internal intel gfx caused xorg segfaults | 09:32 |
| mortal | now with a second gfx card it works | 09:32 |
| karhu | ok great. I'll see what I can figure out | 09:32 |
| MyChris__ | Because I'm on my own due to hours (even though there's a whole team) it's caused me to pickup alot more then I knew before. | 09:32 |
| mortal | got the error today | 09:32 |
| MyChris__ | MotoAir,winterchillz: so that's why I'd choose a startup it's a huge advantage to learn and grow | 09:32 |
| karhu | MotoAir: are you using an encrypted hdd? | 09:32 |
| karhu | sorry winterchillz | 09:32 |
| MotoAir | muh2000 http://askubuntu.com/questions/66723/how-do-i-modify-the-options-for-the-power-button | 09:32 |
| MotoAir | :) | 09:32 |
| MotoAir | karhu no are you? | 09:33 |
| winterchillz | MyChris__, I agree | 09:33 |
| MotoAir | i have no need to | 09:33 |
| muh2000 | MotoAir: i am running ubuntu without a gui.... | 09:33 |
| winterchillz | karhu: you might also check /var/log/boot.log and see if something is failing there | 09:33 |
| MotoAir | my threat levels are minimal and i have nothing of interest to anyone on here :p | 09:34 |
| MotoAir | karhu what winterchillz said :) | 09:34 |
| winterchillz | half of my logs are encrypted, meh, systemd.. | 09:34 |
| karhu | I clicked the option to encrypt my hdd when i did the installation, so yeah, they're encrypted | 09:34 |
| winterchillz | karhu: did you encrypt the whole hdd or just your home folder? Full HDD encryption sometimes causes the boot manager to freeze during startup or update | 09:35 |
| karhu | I encrypted every single thing | 09:35 |
| === xamindar is now known as xamindar_ | ||
| MotoAir | karhu ah, yeah i have done that before and it started to get annoying | 09:35 |
| karhu | everything | 09:35 |
| MotoAir | karhu you might want to check out pm-utils... sudo apt-get install pm-utils | 09:36 |
| MotoAir | im a little rusty on the terminal... | 09:36 |
| MotoAir | im in there when needed and usually have the googles open on the other monitor | 09:36 |
| MotoAir | anyone into mellow electronic music? I have a good station to share on pandora if anyone wants it | 09:37 |
| MotoAir | kinda off topic, but who doesn't like music? | 09:38 |
| karhu | i like boobies | 09:38 |
| karhu | and rockets | 09:38 |
| winterchillz | I'm trying to setup my conky back up, lol | 09:39 |
| MotoAir | random... | 09:39 |
| MotoAir | winterchillz define conky | 09:39 |
| winterchillz | had it back in 10.04 and managed to configure Rhytmbox to work with it, hoping it'd still work | 09:39 |
| winterchillz | conky is a desktop UI thingy that displays a lot of stuff such as HDD info, CPU and RAM usage | 09:40 |
| MotoAir | ahh | 09:40 |
| MotoAir | im so behind lol | 09:40 |
| MotoAir | its kinda nice though, because i discover things that are old news to people and it makes me feel important again haha | 09:40 |
| winterchillz | oh, MotoAir, not at all, | 09:40 |
| MyChris__ | winterchillz: I've heard of conky.. | 09:41 |
| MotoAir | kinda like forgetting you ordered something on the amazons and then you have a package!!! | 09:41 |
| winterchillz | I was just interested in customizing my Ubuntu, that's all. Apart from that I'm complete beginner lol | 09:41 |
| MyChris__ | I went with the alternative multi-system monitor I think it's called | 09:41 |

| MotoAir | winterchillz nice | 09:42 |
| winterchillz | looking forward to improve as I want to get into Linux system administration stuff | 09:42 |
| MotoAir | hey mark__ | 09:42 |
| winterchillz | hi mark__ | 09:42 |
| mark__ | hi guys new to irc sorry if im breaking protocol need some help ples | 09:42 |
| MotoAir | mark__ dont be sorry bro | 09:42 |
| winterchillz | shoot, mate | 09:42 |
| MotoAir | whats up | 09:42 |
| mark__ | ta | 09:42 |
| MotoAir | winterchillz i see | 09:43 |
| MotoAir | winterchillz i started off on slackware back in the early 90's and was on that forever | 09:43 |
| MotoAir | then got into windows and mac and linux has been a side deal for some time | 09:44 |
| mark__ | right got a reprap printer, using reetier host but trying to get it to connect on ubuntu is not happening, its baud rate is 250000 , but arduino monitor wont go up that fast and ive tried the pyserial patch and nothings happening | 09:44 |
| winterchillz | MotoAir: you must know 5 times more stuff than me ;) | 09:44 |
| MotoAir | winterchillz eh, i doubt it, kinda rusty now lol | 09:44 |
| mark__ | im fairly new to ubuntu / linux | 09:44 |
| MotoAir | mark__ we all were at one point too :) | 09:44 |
| winterchillz | just wait until something breaks down, MotoAir, you'll quickly get back in shape lol. I'm afraid I can't help with Mark's question sadly | 09:45 |
| MyChris__ | http://i.imgur.com/TVyA6M1.jpg - MotoAir winterchillz | 09:45 |
| MotoAir | mark__ are you on a 32 or 64bit system? | 09:45 |
| mark__ | 64 bit | 09:45 |
| MyChris__ | http://i.imgur.com/iWlpQuw.png was hard to try and capture the sys monitor. | 09:46 |
| MotoAir | im jelious, my background is dark gray haha | 09:46 |
| winterchillz | MyChris__, that's my current background hehe | 09:46 |
| MotoAir | jealous | 09:46 |
| Ben64 | please move the non support chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:46 |
| MotoAir | mark__ okay 1 sec | 09:46 |
| mark__ | i went into the serialposix.py file on 2.7 and it show 250000 in there. | 09:46 |
| MotoAir | sry Ben64 | 09:46 |
| winterchillz | yup, apologies | 09:46 |
| MyChris__ | Ben64: I apologize as well. | 09:47 |
| MotoAir | mark__ did you chmod it? | 09:47 |
| MotoAir | 755 i believe | 09:48 |
| mark__ | ah sort of get what you mean 2 secs | 09:48 |
| MotoAir | wait, maybe im not understanding where you are stuck, let me go re-read your question | 09:48 |
| MotoAir | mark__ oh, so you have the printer program running | 09:49 |
| MotoAir | already right | 09:49 |
| Firefly67 | my laptop has become super-slow. Does that mean I have used up too much of disk space? | 09:49 |
| mark__ | yep its up and running , i click connect and the led on the ramps board flashes but it wont actually see it, if i reduce the baud rate it connects | 09:49 |
| Ben64 | Firefly67: "df -h" to find out, but probably not | 09:50 |
| MyChris__ | FireFly67: Check your resource usage using system monitor and see if you're maxing CPU/RAM out | 09:51 |
| Firefly67 | the highest use% that shows up is 24% | 09:51 |
| MotoAir | what processor are you running? | 09:51 |
| MotoAir | mark__ | 09:51 |
| Firefly67 | like if I click on the file viewer(?), it takes very long for the files to show up | 09:51 |
| Firefly67 | how do I find the processor? | 09:51 |
| MotoAir | Firefly67 sorry that was for machty | 09:52 |
| MotoAir | i mean mark__ | 09:52 |
| mark__ | motoAir- i7 7330 i belive 64 bit | 09:52 |
| MyChris__ | FireFly67, Again open System Monitor and check your resource usage. | 09:52 |
| MyChris__ | could be you're maxing your CPU and or RAM out | 09:52 |
| MotoAir | mark__ i could be way off but take a look here...http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=21497.0 | 09:53 |
| Firefly67 | where is the system monitor? | 09:53 |
| Firefly67 | system settings -> details? | 09:53 |
| MyChris__ | Unless it's just file write/read going slow, FireFly67 | 09:53 |
| winterchillz | Firefly67: You can just type in system monitor on the launcher, it will appear there | 09:54 |
| MyChris__ | ^ What winterchillz said | 09:54 |
| MyChris__ | that's how I access it | 09:54 |
| MotoAir | Firefly67 type Top in terninal | 09:54 |
| winterchillz | or use 'ps aux' in terminal, it will show CPU and MEM usage for running processes | 09:54 |
| MotoAir | or Htop | 09:54 |
| Firefly67 | found it. The highest % I can see is 68.6% for memory | 09:55 |
| winterchillz | what process is using it? | 09:55 |
| mark__ | motoair _ ta looked at that , i know the board and set up works on windows ( sorry if i get kicked for swaering) | 09:55 |
| MotoAir | mark__ haha | 09:55 |
| MotoAir | hmm | 09:55 |
| MotoAir | 1 sec | 09:55 |
| winterchillz | Firefly67: Can you paste the whole output from 'ps aux' in paste.ubuntu.com and share the URL here | 09:56 |
| Firefly67 | firefox is the one using the max resources | 09:56 |
| george13gr | hello ppl i wanna some help please | 09:56 |
| bekks | Firefly67: So restart firefox. | 09:56 |
| winterchillz | george13gr: Sure, what's up | 09:56 |
| winterchillz | yup, what bekks said | 09:56 |
| MotoAir | mark__ i wish i could help more, you may want to join #arduino | 09:57 |
| winterchillz | probably you have heavy websites opened | 09:57 |
| MotoAir | or maybe someone else in here can help | 09:57 |
| george13gr | i just installed 14.04 to my laptop and having wifi issues | 09:57 |
| MotoAir | because you said it works fine in windows | 09:57 |
| Firefly67 | ok I'l do that, probably I have too many windows open. | 09:57 |
| MotoAir | george13gr what kind of issues? | 09:57 |
| mark__ | MotoAir _ok thanks for trying i appreciate the help | 09:57 |
| MotoAir | mark__ np | 09:58 |
| MotoAir | anyone here following mark__ 's issue? I'm not sure how to help :/ | 09:58 |
| george13gr | wifi is switched off from hardware switch so i type "sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop then finds wifi but after reboot i need to do the same | 09:58 |
| MotoAir | ahh | 09:58 |
| george13gr | note that this laptop hasnt switch on FN keys | 09:59 |
| MotoAir | george13gr so once you reboot, you have to reissue that command then it comes up? | 10:00 |
| george13gr | oh yes | 10:00 |
| MotoAir | george13gr might not be the right fix, but you can add that command into /etc/rc.local and then it should run it on boot? | 10:02 |
| MotoAir | may want to ref someone else in here on that | 10:02 |
| george13gr | its weird i know | 10:02 |
| winterchillz | I wonder if adding it to Startup Applications as a command would do the trick too | 10:03 |
| Ben64 | or blacklist the module by putting it into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist like "blacklist ideapad_laptop" | 10:03 |
| george13gr | ill giv a try | 10:03 |
| george13gr | plz give me the full command | 10:03 |
| Ben64 | wait its blacklist.conf now | 10:03 |
| === marvin is now known as Guest99503 | ||

| meldron | hi guys since i rebooted my ubuntu installation the application lense has zero entries, does anybody know whats the problem? | 10:07 |
| cfhowlett | balance, yes. gedit extras has settings. what programming language? python? | 10:08 |
| balance | cfhowlett, yeah and I'm getting mad with the indents :P | 10:08 |
| cfhowlett | balance, install gedit-plugins | 10:08 |
| balance | cfhowlett, no, cant | 10:09 |
| htqp | balance: indents shouldn't be cause of a confusion if you follow PEP 8 | 10:11 |
| cfhowlett | htqp, PEP 8?? link? | 10:12 |
| htqp | cfhowlett: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#indentation | 10:12 |
| cfhowlett | htqp, thank you. | 10:13 |
| === xamindar_ is now known as xamindar | ||
| htqp | hm, google even lists some interesting tricks to have gedit check for pep8 before saving a file | 10:25 |
| balance | htqp sry had to go, i get intends errors and for me, everything looks right but intends are creepy so I'd like to display them but I can't use additional software because my exam won't allow it. | 10:29 |
| htqp | balance: sorry, I don't know ho to help with that | 10:32 |
| balance | htqp, ok thanks :) | 10:34 |
| balance | another question (its actually about xubuntu) if I save a file in gedit the temp file is always unbusy. so I save -> error busy temp then I save again it works but resulting in a busy temp file so the next save will fail again etc. why's that? | 10:36 |
| htqp | a bit of googling abougt your error message "text file busy" reveals it's raised when writing to a file that is being executed | 10:38 |
| balance | htqp, nvm, seems to be an virtual box issue | 10:40 |

| CtrlC | Hi, Does ubuntu automatically upgrade to new versions? How to prevent that? (apt-get update && apt-get upgrade) | 10:49 |
| nomic | it doesn't automatically upgrtade to new versions .. you are notified that there is a new version & given the option to upgrade | 10:50 |
| nomic | it'd never do that automatically - even the updates, you have a choice as to whether or not you install them | 10:50 |
| nomic | CtrlC | 10:50 |
| CtrlC | nomic: I mean upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 | 10:51 |
| CtrlC | Not just new packages for 14.04 | 10:51 |
| nomic | as I said | 10:51 |
| nomic | no | 10:51 |
| nomic | not unless you direct it to | 10:52 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, it does not | 10:52 |
| CtrlC | nomic: You mean just using dist-upgrade causes that? | 10:52 |
| THEEXPLOITED | you can not undo an upgrade :) | 10:52 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, dist-upgrade will NOT bring a new version | 10:52 |
| CtrlC | THEEXPLOITED: I don't want to undo it.:) | 10:52 |
| nomic | not sure what the upgrade process is called, exactly | 10:52 |
| SCHAAP137 | no, do-release-upgrade will do that | 10:52 |
| SCHAAP137 | dist-upgrade does not upgrade to next ubuntu version | 10:53 |
| nomic | ctrl-c 14.04 is supported until 2017 | 10:53 |
| THEEXPLOITED | even if you would wanted you couldnt | 10:53 |
| nomic | totally | 10:53 |
| bazhang | five years | 10:53 |
| CtrlC | THEEXPLOITED: That's not my question! | 10:53 |
| bazhang | so 2019 | 10:53 |
| nomic | LTS s, during their duration, are always the most stable version | 10:53 |
| THEEXPLOITED | question? | 10:53 |
| nomic | in their duration | 10:53 |
| nomic | nobody is forcing you to do anything | 10:54 |
| bekks | CtrlC: Ubuntu does not automatically update releases. | 10:54 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | CtrlC have a read | 10:54 |
| ubottu | CtrlC have a read: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 10:54 |
| bekks | CtrlC: and dist-upgrade doesnt cause that, it is just an information that you could upgrade your release to the new one. | 10:54 |
| THEEXPLOITED | you could downgrade by reinstalling | 10:56 |
| CtrlC | THEEXPLOITED: Just forget about reinstalling! Please! | 10:56 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, what is your question | 10:56 |
| THEEXPLOITED | im not talking to you | 10:57 |
| CtrlC | about downgrading* | 10:57 |
| * nomic sticking with the 14.04 ... like a limpet, until 2017 | 10:57 | |
| nomic | I do not have to think about issues | 10:57 |
| bekks | nomic: 14.04 is supported until 2019. | 10:57 |
| CtrlC | bazhang: Wanna know why my 14.04 turned to 14.10 after doing that? | 10:57 |
| nomic | EXCELLENT | 10:57 |
| nomic | xubuntu though | 10:57 |
| nomic | thats 2017 | 10:57 |
| CtrlC | doing upgrade and dist-upgrade. | 10:57 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, you directed it to, there is no other way possible | 10:57 |
| bekks | CtrlC: you answered "yes" to the question wether you want to upgrade to the new release. | 10:58 |
| winterchillz | You probably allowed it to upgrade, mate | 10:58 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, dist-upgrade does NOT do that | 10:58 |

| markus_ | hi, does anyone know what's wrong with linux if an SSD can only read 3-4mb/sec?? | 10:58 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, are you on debian? | 10:58 |
| winterchillz | Ubuntu exclusively asks for permission before upgrading to a new version | 10:58 |
| CtrlC | bekks: You just said those commands won't do that! | 10:58 |
| CtrlC | bazhang: Why? | 10:58 |
| ikonia | because the upgrade process is different for debian | 10:58 |
| cfhowlett | bazhang, I think we know ... | 10:58 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, debian and ubuntu have differing ideas about dist-upgrade thats why | 10:59 |
| bekks | CtrlC: Yes, because those commands dont do that. | 10:59 |
| ikonia | CtrlC: what distro are you actually talking about | 10:59 |
| CtrlC | Ubuntu | 10:59 |
| ikonia | CtrlC: then it didn't happen | 10:59 |
| ikonia | dist-upgrade does not move you to a new distro version | 10:59 |
| THEEXPLOITED | ive upgraded my system all the way from intrpid | 10:59 |
| CtrlC | Anybody here says something different. | 10:59 |
| bazhang | CtrlC, then you directed it to, dist-upgrade for Ubuntu does not, again I repeat, does not change versions | 11:00 |
| winterchillz | CtrlC: vi /proc/version | 11:00 |
| THEEXPLOITED | new version you can upgrade without having to reboot | 11:00 |
| CtrlC | winterchillz: I can't do that right now. | 11:00 |
| ikonia | CtrlC: why not ? | 11:00 |
| CtrlC | Here is the code I used: | 11:00 |
| CtrlC | echo "my password" | sudo -S apt-get -y dist-upgrade && echo "my password" | sudo -S bash ~/Dialogshutdown | 11:00 |
| winterchillz | use pastebin.ubuntu.com if it's too big | 11:00 |
| bekks | CtrlC: No one says different things. upgrade does not change versions, dist-upgrade does not change versions, do-release-upgrade does change versions. And answering "yes" to "there is a new release, do you want to upgrade to it" does change versions, too. | 11:00 |
| freeroute | winterchillz: IIRC things in /proc should always be cat'ed | 11:01 |
| CtrlC | ikonia: I don't have access to ubuntu now. | 11:01 |
| winterchillz | freeroute: my bad then, apologies | 11:01 |
| ikonia | CtrlC: shall we be honest | 11:01 |
| THEEXPLOITED | you inserted your password twice? | 11:01 |
| bekks | That command line is horrible | 11:01 |
| bazhang | sounds like he is on debain | 11:01 |
| ikonia | this isn't ubuntu | 11:01 |
| CtrlC | Yeah I know. | 11:02 |
| ikonia | you know what ? | 11:02 |
| CtrlC | I'm on debian now. but the problem is with ubuntu. | 11:02 |
| ikonia | it sounds like the problem is with your debian machine | 11:02 |
| ikonia | rather than an ubuntu machine | 11:02 |
| bazhang | ubuntu does not, nor has it ever done that CtrlC | 11:02 |
| ikonia | suggest you start being honest | 11:02 |

| kooo | hi there, im having trouble connecting to my sshd. it tells me connection refused when i try to ssh | 11:04 |
| bekks | kooo: Using which username? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | kooo: is sshd running ? | 11:05 |
| kooo | name of the user i have on that pc | 11:05 |
| kooo | and yes its working | 11:05 |
| ikonia | working ? | 11:05 |
| kooo | the process is running | 11:05 |
| THEEXPLOITED | i dont see out username is relevant | 11:05 |
| winterchillz | I think he meant running, ikonia | 11:05 |
| ikonia | kooo: what is the EXACT command you use to ssh please | 11:06 |
| bekks | THEEXPLOITED: you cannot ssh as root using a password. | 11:06 |
| CtrlC | Thanks guys. | 11:06 |
| kooo | ssh -p 2266 -u user ip | 11:06 |
| THEEXPLOITED | root isnt username | 11:06 |
| kooo | the internal 192 ip | 11:06 |
| ikonia | kooo: is the IP an internal one or an external one ? | 11:06 |
| THEEXPLOITED | its admins name | 11:06 |
| ikonia | THEEXPLOITED: root ise a username | 11:06 |
| bekks | THEEXPLOITED: root IS a username. | 11:06 |
| kooo | actually thats a valid point | 11:06 |
| ikonia | kooo: have you configured the ufw to allow port 2266 ? | 11:06 |
| kooo | when i was having the same issue i have no idea what i did | 11:07 |
| ikonia | kooo: have you told ssh to listen on port 2266 | 11:07 |
| kooo | but when i somehow started it as my user i got it running | 11:07 |
| THEEXPLOITED | root systemname | 11:07 |
| kooo | and yes i ufw allowed 2266 | 11:07 |
| kooo | and even 22 | 11:07 |
| ikonia | kooo: ok - so telnet to the port | 11:07 |
| kooo | connection refused | 11:08 |
| ikonia | kooo: can you access the machine any other way at the moment ? | 11:08 |
| kooo | yeah i have physical access | 11:08 |
| ikonia | (no idea why you are running ssh on a nonstandard port) | 11:08 |
| ikonia | kooo: ok so do "ssh -p 2266 localhost" | 11:08 |
| ikonia | (on the machine) | 11:09 |
| kooo | connection refused | 11:09 |
| ikonia | kooo: so it's not running on port 2266 | 11:09 |
| ikonia | as localhost would not hit any firewall or routing | 11:09 |
| bekks | check sudo lsof -i acoordingly. | 11:09 |
| ikonia | kooo: suggestion - put it back to port 22 | 11:09 |
| kooo | tcp 2266 listen | 11:09 |
| ikonia | use ssh as everyone else in the world does | 11:09 |
| kooo | it doesnt even matter if i set it back to 22 | 11:10 |
| ikonia | kooo: put it back to 22 and verify it's working on localhost | 11:10 |
| kooo | because i had the same problem | 11:10 |
| ikonia | kooo: it does matter | 11:10 |
| kooo | as i said same error | 11:11 |
| ikonia | kooo: show me the EXACT command please | 11:11 |
| kooo | ssh -p 22 localhost | 11:11 |
| ikonia | kooo: dump -p | 11:12 |
| ikonia | you don't need -p on port 22 | 11:12 |
| kooo | without argument its trying to connect to 2266 | 11:12 |
| ikonia | kooo: what have you changed on this system | 11:12 |
| ikonia | exctly | 11:12 |
| ikonia | exactly | 11:12 |
| kooo | hmm good question | 11:12 |
| ikonia | good question ? | 11:12 |
| ikonia | you've setup ssh and you don't know how ? | 11:12 |
| kooo | i think i only edited etc/ssh/shd_config | 11:13 |
| ikonia | kooo: no, you must have also change ssh_config | 11:13 |
| ikonia | or the client would connect on 22 like everyone elses default setting | 11:13 |
| kooo | yeah | 11:14 |
| kooo | but still even after changing that im getting conneciton refused | 11:14 |
| ikonia | probably because you have changed other things that you've forgotton | 11:14 |
| kooo | isnt there a way to start it as non root user? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | kooo: what ? | 11:14 |
| ikonia | kooo: start what as a non-root user ? | 11:14 |
| kooo | sshd | 11:14 |
| ikonia | kooo: how are you stopping/starting it now EXACTLY | 11:15 |
| kooo | service sshd stop/start | 11:15 |
| kooo | as root | 11:15 |
| ikonia | kooo: what version of ubuntu is this | 11:15 |
| ikonia | kooo: root is locked on ubuntu | 11:15 |
| ikonia | so you can't be root | 11:15 |
| kooo | 14.10 | 11:15 |
| kooo | its not | 11:15 |
| ikonia | it is | 11:15 |
| cfhowlett | Boot repair app question: does it work on GPT ? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | root is locked | 11:15 |
| kooo | i gave it a password so i can switch to root | 11:15 |
| ikonia | kooo: apologies to be blunt, but I don't believe you know what you are doing at all | 11:16 |
| ikonia | kooo: please pastebin your sshd_config and your ssh_config | 11:16 |
| ikonia | (use a pastebin) | 11:16 |
| gr33n7007h | kooo: it's probably because your using service sshd start instead of service ssh start just a guess | 11:17 |
| kooo | https://pastee.org/9jhct | 11:18 |
| kooo | https://pastee.org/7yysc | 11:18 |
| kooo | gr33n7007h nah typo | 11:18 |
| gr33n7007h | kooo: ah, ok | 11:19 |
| ikonia | kooo: PermitRootLogin without-password | 11:19 |
| ikonia | what the devil is that ? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | is that even a valid setting ? | 11:19 |
| kooo | well i didnt put it there | 11:20 |
| bekks | kooo: Then who did? | 11:20 |
| ikonia | is that the default in ubuntu these days ? I don't think so | 11:20 |
| ikonia | you then have PermitEmptyPasswords no | 11:20 |
| Squall5668 | ikonia: it's a valid option... unfortunately | 11:21 |
| ikonia | kooo: you have Port 22 in your ssh_config yet you say it still connects on 2266 without -p | 11:21 |
| ikonia | Squall5668: is that default in ubuntu now ? | 11:21 |
| ikonia | (that option) | 11:21 |
| kooo | ikonia i changed that | 11:21 |
| ikonia | kooo: lets go back to basics | 11:21 |
| fidelus | Hi | 11:22 |
| ikonia | kooo: now your system has port 22 set - reboot the system please | 11:22 |
| kooo | alright | 11:22 |
| winterchillz | hi fidelus | 11:22 |
| Squall5668 | ikonia: no idea. It doesn't actually permit root login without password. It just disables it completely i think | 11:24 |
| kooo | ikonia ok i have the same error again | 11:24 |
| ikonia | kooo: ok - please show me in a pastebin the output of the command "ps -ef | grep ssh" | 11:24 |
| ikonia | kooo: plese do not alter the output in any way | 11:24 |
| ikonia | kooo: did you change this https://pastee.org/9jhct | 11:25 |
| ikonia | oops | 11:25 |
| ikonia | kooo: did you uncomment this line ListenAddress :: | 11:25 |
| kooo | ikonia thanks it worked | 11:27 |
| ikonia | what worked ? | 11:27 |
| kooo | i can log in now | 11:27 |
| ikonia | just to clarify | 11:27 |
| ikonia | what did you do | 11:27 |
| kooo | uncomment listen address | 11:27 |
| kooo | *comment im ean | 11:27 |
| ikonia | yes, you told it to only listen on ipv6 | 11:27 |
| ikonia | don't know why you did that | 11:27 |
| ikonia | default is listen on all | 11:28 |
| kooo | problem was that it wasnt listening in the first place when i tried | 11:28 |
| kooo | the box doesnt even recognize my mouse/keyboard on my first boot | 11:28 |
| kooo | when i restart the pc it works fine | 11:28 |
| ikonia | not sure how thats got anything to do with you deciding to set it to listen on ipv6 hosts only | 11:29 |
| kooo | trying around i guess | 11:29 |
| ikonia | I suggest you stop | 11:29 |
| Squall5668 | he's probably using some sort of interface like webmin doing the configuration | 11:29 |
| ikonia | your config is a very bad config | 11:29 |
| kooo | is it? i didnt add/delete anything to the default one | 11:30 |
| ikonia | it is not the default one | 11:30 |
| ikonia | and you've just told us you changed things | 11:30 |
| ikonia | so saying "its default" seems to contradict that | 11:30 |
| kooo | it is the default one because i only edited the listening part and the port | 11:30 |
| ikonia | you don't know that | 11:31 |
| Squall5668 | kooo: I suggest you read the man pages. They are really good for things like this. Try 'man sshd' | 11:31 |
| ikonia | you didn't know what you'd edited a few minutes ago | 11:31 |
| simpleuser | Is there a way to know the version of the package present in the repositories, when we do a apt-cache search ? | 11:31 |
| kooo | well im sure i know it better than you | 11:31 |
| kooo | anyway thanks for the help | 11:31 |
| ikonia | you know it better than me? | 11:32 |
| kooo | unless you were standing right behind me, yes | 11:32 |
| ikonia | I just fixed your machine because you didn't know what you'd changed | 11:32 |
| ikonia | kooo: yeah, I think I actually do know what you've changed more than you.... | 11:32 |
| ikonia | infact I'm certain of it | 11:32 |
| kooo | well you are certainly wrong | 11:32 |
| ikonia | thats why I've just fixed your machine | 11:32 |
| ikonia | because I'm wrong and don't know what you changed | 11:32 |
| simpleuser | Ok, answer to myself: apt-cache madison <packageName> | 11:32 |
| kooo | yeah you are great | 11:33 |
| Squall5668 | simpleuser: that, or apt-cache policy to view your currently installed and the one available | 11:34 |
| gr33n7007h | simpleuser: apt-cache show | grep Version | 11:35 |
| gr33n7007h | simpleuser: apt-cache show <package> | grep Version | 11:35 |

| kwtm | Hello. Just got my dell laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed. How do I check whether I'm using a 64-bit system or a 32-bit system? (I figure all new systems are 64-bit these days, but want to make sure.) | 11:55 |
| Seveas | kwtm: uname -m | 11:56 |
| bazhang | uname -a | 11:56 |
| Seveas | if that says x86_64 -> 64bit | 11:57 |
| kwtm | Seveas and bazhang: thanks. | 11:57 |
| bazhang | welcome | 11:57 |
| kwtm | Thx, verified to be 64-bit. I'll use the 64-bit versiion of Kubuntu to install beside the built-in. | 11:58 |
| Seveas | kwtm: also, if you are running a 32bit system, but want to see if the cpu *can* do 64bit, grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo | 11:58 |
| kwtm | Seveas: What answer should I expect? On my old laptop it doesn't return anything, just the command prompt back. | 11:59 |
| makalu | how do I change the keyboard layout from the command line? localectl list-keymaps says there are none | 11:59 |
| === xubuntu is now known as Guest70525 | ||
| makalu | do I need to install some package before? | 11:59 |
| Seveas | kwtm: then you made a typo :) | 11:59 |
| kwtm | Seveas: But I cut and pasted your command. | 12:00 |
| Seveas | kwtm: intriguing. please pastebin the result of: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 12:01 |
| kwtm | Ok. Note that I don't really need help with this, just curious how my old system was. You've already answered the question I needed to have answered; thanks. | 12:03 |

| kwtm | It says that the letter m never occurs immediately after the letter l in the text. | 12:04 |
| Seveas | kwtm: yeah I know, but now your /proc/cpuinfo has me confused. It seems to be a 32bit cpu, so I'm not sure how you can be running a 64bit os. Can you pastebin the output of uname -a as well? | 12:04 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest87576 | ||
| Seveas | ah, reading logs it looks like you ran the /proc/cpuinfo thing on a different machine than the uname thing :) | 12:06 |
| === Jans-mum is now known as Jans-Mom | ||
| kwtm | Seveas: Ah, I see why you are confused. My 64-bit is a different system, my new laptop. With your info on whether an already-running 32-bit OS is running on top of a 64-bit CPU, I used that command to check my old computer (on which I am typing this); I'm running 32-bit OS but can't remember if it was actually a 64-bit CPU | 12:06 |
| Seveas | 'lm' is the cpu flag that says 'I can do long math, aka 64 bit computing' | 12:06 |
| kwtm | Seveas: Ah, that explains it. Thx. Ok, off to mess with my new computer. :) | 12:06 |
| bekks | kwtm: So take a look at cat /proc/cpuinfo" for identifying it. | 12:06 |
| Seveas | kwtm: have fun :) | 12:07 |

| kwtm | Where my torrented Kubuntu image says "kubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" I can use that on Intel processors, too, not just AMD, right? The 32-bit is named "i386" but the 64-bit is NOT named "i64". (My new Dell machine has Intel.) | 12:09 |
| Seveas | kwtm: yeah | 12:10 |
| kwtm | Thx, Seveas. | 12:10 |
| === Sigmund_Fraud is now known as Loshki | ||
| Seveas | the official name of 64-bit pc architecture is x86_64 | 12:10 |
| Seveas | debian used the name amd64 before the x86_64 name was settled and amd was the only one to produce this. | 12:10 |
| htqp | IA64 is a different 64 bit architecture than amd64 and most desktops and laptops are amd64 not IA64 | 12:11 |

| Guest81186 | Good morning, during installation of ubuntu, I didn't know what is a swap file so I mistakenly used a removable flash drive to create my swap drive. Every time I start my OS, I get an error saying that the drive isn't ready. I was wondering if I could manually remove it from the /etc/fstab file without damaging anything? | 12:41 |
| ikonia | Guest81186: that is not a problem | 12:42 |

| brent | hey guys, i have a question.. when i reboot ubuntu desktop, i always run Terminal, and execute a command and then leave terminal running, forever. is there a way to do this automatically? | 13:16 |
| winterchillz | brent, I assume it is for starting up some application, take a look at Startup Applications window and see if you can add it there instead | 13:18 |
| brent | it opens/starts tmux (tmuxinator) | 13:19 |
| yoshinoriubt-201 | No I am first visit | 13:19 |

| brent | im just googling how to add terminal lol | 13:23 |
| MyChris__ | brent, You could try adding it to /etc/init.d/rc.local | 13:25 |
| MyChris__ | I can't say that's the proper way though... | 13:25 |
| brent | im not really sure how to start terminal | 13:25 |
| MyChris__ | Are you currently in a window manager? or something? | 13:26 |
| brent | im using ubuntu desktop 14.04 | 13:26 |
| MyChris__ | So just go to the launcher and type Terminal in the search | 13:26 |
| specing | Hello, If I need a 'gprbuild' package from utopic or vivid on trusty LTS, what would the best option of getting it be? | 13:27 |
| === thomas_ is now known as Guest52710 | ||
| brent | i can start it no problems, i use it daily. what i mean is by adding it to the Startup Applications, it asks for a command | 13:27 |
| specing | Should I just add the utopic repo in sources.list? | 13:27 |
| Squall5668 | specing: finding it in the backports repo | 13:28 |
| MyChris__ | brent, I'm not sure I understand. | 13:28 |
| specing | Squall5668: it is not there | 13:28 |
| Squall5668 | well, you are out of 'best' options then | 13:28 |
| specing | Squall5668: are there any quick hacks that would work? | 13:28 |
| brent | MyChris__, from within "Startup Applications" I have the following when I click new: Name, Command, Comment | 13:29 |
| MyChris__ | What are you trying to accomplish | 13:29 |
| Squall5668 | you could just grab the package from packages.ubuntu.com but this is a bad idea | 13:29 |
| brent | Starting terminal on boot | 13:29 |
| brent | running a command too | 13:30 |
| InspectorCluseau | brent, acommand like xterm | 13:30 |
| specing | Squall5668: indeed. I thought apt could do it for me | 13:30 |
| MyChris__ | brent: So what's the issue with doing that via startup applications? | 13:31 |
| brent | i want to start tmuxinator | 13:31 |
| Squall5668 | specing: same thing actually. Both will break your system. One will do it faster than the other, but the end result will be the same | 13:31 |
| specing | Squall5668: It is a virtual machine, I am fine with breaking it to get this done | 13:31 |
| brent | Im not sure what to write in "Command". would this be "tmuxinator" which i usually type from within terminal, or do i first have to run terminal | 13:32 |
| MyChris__ | brent, never used it myself... but check here. | 13:33 |
| MyChris__ | http://askubuntu.com/questions/80067/start-a-tmuxinator-session-in-gnome-terminal-on-login | 13:33 |
| Squall5668 | specing: why don't you just upgrade it then? | 13:33 |
| specing | Squall5668: that would work, too | 13:34 |
| Squall5668 | well great! do that then! Upgrade to utopic and you'll be fine :) | 13:35 |
| brent | Ok MyChris__ ill have to give it a go. I really hate rebooting =) thanks for your time | 13:35 |
| MyChris__ | brent: no problem sorry I personally don't have experience or advice to lend you. | 13:36 |
| specing | Squall5668: "No new release found" | 13:40 |
| specing | Squall5668: probably because I am on LTS and there is no newer LTS | 13:40 |

| snoopy | ciao | 13:41 |
| Squall5668 | specing: please dont't :). You can go to software sources and change the option on the "Updates" tab to upgrade from LTS to regular | 13:42 |
| specing | Squall5668: there is no GUI | 13:42 |
| Squall5668 | even easier | 13:43 |

| arvenius | im traing to get wifi to work under ubuntu on a pretty new lenovo yoga3 11 | 14:24 |
| arvenius | but autodectect fails, lspci sais its a "qualcomm atheros device 003e" | 14:25 |
| arvenius | seems to be a different wifi module than in the previous yoga notebooks, at least none of the solutions i found for those seem to work | 14:25 |
| arvenius | anybody has a clue what module/driver to use or if there just isnt any yet? | 14:26 |

| arvenius | the preinstalled one came with so much lenovo bloat i had to kill it with fire | 14:32 |
| arvenius | afterwards i tried the win10 preview which runs pretty fine but the touchpad is dead | 14:33 |
| arvenius | i can install synaptics drivers all i want it just doesnt work | 14:33 |

Is there a way to make both monitors work, without having to turn the secondary on and off every time you reboot etc.? Thanks | 14:41 |

| Knight80 | irw works fine though | 15:14 |

| IdleOne | donald: ok, well then boot from USB, assuming your computer supports booting from USB, and install. I believe there is a way to do what you want but I don't know how. Simplest way is for you to boot the live version of the ISO you want and install from there | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | donald, cds aren't large enough to hold an OS image anymore , use a dvd | 15:38 |

| donald | tzanolo: if it does, you have it. | 15:43 |
| tzanolo | donald, alsamixer starts a terminal information | 15:44 |

| souuell | i was wondering if someone could help me understand why apt-get upgrade would upgrade me from 12.04.3 to 12.04.5 | 17:25 |
| souuell | i thought that apt-get upgrade ONLY upgraded packages, not the os itself | 17:25 |
| souuell | any explanation would be appreciated. | 17:25 |
| sebbie | Whoever replied to this I am sorry I missed your reply - can you help again please? Can't find out how to configure a samba share from terminal, can anyone help me? | 17:28 |
| trism | souuell: 12.04.3 and 12.04.5 are both the same 12.04 version, the point releases are just for updated images for the lts versions | 17:30 |
| souuell | trism: how do i make it so it DOESNT move my minor release? | 17:31 |
| souuell | which packages do i need to exclude from apt-get upgrade | 17:31 |
| imbezol | souuell: you don't want to do that | 17:31 |
| souuell | i dont want 12.04.5 as its believed to have a major bonding bug | 17:31 |
| souuell | i do want to do that | 17:31 |
| souuell | bonding works well in 12.04.3 and sucks in 12.04.5 | 17:31 |
| imbezol | it's all 12.04 | 17:31 |
| souuell | i dont know why, but something changes | 17:31 |
| souuell | err changed. | 17:31 |
| imbezol | there are interdependencies though | 17:31 |
| souuell | so basically, its all or nothing | 17:32 |
| souuell | ? | 17:32 |
| imbezol | if you tell it to stay at 12.04.3 you won't get the security updates for the os and dependant packages won't be upgraded etc | 17:32 |
| imbezol | basically you'll have to just stop updating your system completely | 17:32 |
| imbezol | it's designed to stay within 12.04, not within any particular point release | 17:32 |
| souuell | yeah unfortunately i dont think my company cares as much as i do about security | 17:32 |
| meganerd | souuell: what do you mean by bonding? Link aggregation? | 17:32 |
| souuell | they do want bonding to work though | 17:32 |
| souuell | yeah meganerd | 17:32 |
| imbezol | so really what you want is to update like normal, and have bonding work as expected | 17:33 |
| meganerd | souuell: have not heard of such a bug, it would be kernel related so no need to prevent updates, just use a different kernel | 17:33 |
| souuell | im calling bullshit on the fact it doesnt work, but they dont want me to take a chance. they had some problems with bond's not working properly in 12.04.5 and they swear it is a change in the version | 17:33 |
| souuell | that sucks though, i was kinda hoping to AT LEAST upgrade the packages | 17:34 |
| souuell | for the reasons stated above | 17:34 |
| imbezol | the files that make it go to the next point release are just another package | 17:34 |
| souuell | saaaaaaaaad panda. | 17:34 |
| meganerd | souuell: you can just pin the kernel, the rest will work as expexted | 17:34 |
| imbezol | base-files package | 17:34 |
| meganerd | souuell: I seriously doubt that there is an issue there | 17:34 |
| souuell | base-files is the kerne;? | 17:34 |
| imbezol | it's likely something else caused it.. not what's in base-files | 17:35 |
| meganerd | souuell: is there some package that they are using, what is the use case here | 17:35 |
| imbezol | no, it's the files that show what point release you are | 17:35 |
| souuell | imbezol: i happen to agree with you.... | 17:35 |
| reconmaster | anyone got a preference for hosting ubuntu? vmware player or virtual box? | 17:35 |
| souuell | however, my boss does not. | 17:35 |
| souuell | =/ | 17:35 |
| meganerd | souuell: link aggregation is generally the wrong answer to a bandwidth problem | 17:35 |
| souuell | oh the upgrade | 17:35 |
| souuell | im talking about bonding. | 17:35 |
| meganerd | reconmaster: qemu+kvm | 17:35 |
| souuell | its not a bandwidth thing its a redundancy thing meganerd | 17:35 |
| reconmaster | I've been using vmware for years, but the new kernel on 14.10 broke vmware tools again.. | 17:35 |
| meganerd | souuell: then fail over routes, OSPF, BGP, are probably what they want | 17:36 |
| reconmaster | maybe my fault for not just sticking with LTS... | 17:36 |
| souuell | meganerd: that doesnt make any sence. | 17:36 |
| souuell | err sense. | 17:36 |
| Gregor3000 | hello - a simple quesitons - what is the tool for GPU stress test in 32bit linux. not 64bit but 32 bit. GPU test is 64 bit only. | 17:36 |
| souuell | if a nic dies i want a second one to handle traffic | 17:36 |
| imbezol | meganerd: bonding is a perfectly viable solution for host to switch redundancy | 17:37 |
| souuell | the routing protocol doesnt make that happen, unless you are setup to use something like anycast | 17:37 |
| === soee_ is now known as soee | ||
| meganerd | souuell: you want packets to flow if something in a network path dies, that is the exact problem the internet was designed for | 17:37 |
| reconmaster | meganerd: any particular reason for that route? | 17:37 |
| souuell | meganerd: no, i want hardware redundancy in my nics | 17:38 |
| souuell | that failover gracefully with a heartbeat | 17:38 |
| meganerd | souuell: if you want to protect against a NIC, use a bridge and assign the IP to it | 17:38 |
| imbezol | souuell: anyways.. i would recommend looking into the details of the actual problem and working to solve that | 17:38 |
| imbezol | souuell: in the meantime.. you can disable updates at the point where the system is know to work | 17:38 |
| souuell | imbezol: these servers have to be live in 4 days, so i guess im fucked | 17:38 |
| imbezol | souuell: perhaps put together a test machine to figure out the issue | 17:38 |
| souuell | im just gonna have to roll with unupdated 12.04.3 | 17:38 |
| souuell | and have a couple test machines | 17:38 |
| meganerd | reconmaster: it is built into Ubuntu, Fedora, while both vmware and virtualbox build third party modules :) | 17:38 |
| === esde is now known as Guest92432 | ||

| souuell | so i can then run apt-get upgrade | 17:39 |
| souuell | ;) | 17:39 |
| meganerd | reconmaster: virtualbox is probably the easiest solution from an end user's perspective | 17:39 |
| meganerd | souuell: just pin the kernel so that it does not get updates | 17:39 |
| souuell | thank you for your help imbezol meganerd | 17:39 |
| souuell | i dont have enough time to test it unfortunately =( | 17:39 |
| meganerd | souuell: I really hope that this is not an internet accessible machine | 17:40 |
| souuell | i can setup a couple test machines, but the prod ones NEED to be production | 17:40 |
| souuell | meganerd: if you saw the shit my company has in production | 17:40 |
| souuell | LOLOLOL | 17:40 |
| souuell | fedora 7 | 17:40 |
| reconmaster | meganerd: yeah it looks pretty similar to the vmware stuff i've been using, but i've had it with the proprietary nature of vmware | 17:40 |
| souuell | fedora 15 | 17:40 |
| souuell | they dont give a shit ;) | 17:40 |
| souuell | which sucks | 17:40 |

| BluesKaj | mojtaba, what kind of usb disk , a hdd connected via usb por a usb stick? | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | por=or | 18:08 |
| mojtaba | BluesKaj: It is a usb stick | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | mojtaba, and what doo wish to do with it? | 18:09 |
| BluesKaj | do you that is :) | 18:09 |
| mojtaba | BluesKaj: I want to have more than one filesystem one it. | 18:09 |
| solsTiCe | mojtaba: yes you can. | 18:11 |
| mojtaba | solsTiCe: Thanks | 18:11 |
| solsTiCe | but if your format it as ext4 it will only one partition | 18:11 |
| Orioa | i was wondering if someone could help me..i want to change my xubuntu so that i use non graphical log in | 18:11 |
| solsTiCe | mojtaba: I mean ext4 is for a partition not the whole usb stick | 18:12 |
| solsTiCe | If you want other partition on it | 18:12 |
| phre4k | I installed Ubuntu Server on an HP Gen8 microserver in legacy mode, because Ubuntu didn't boot otherwise. Can I enable AHCI for NCQ afterwise? | 18:13 |
| BluesKaj | never tried different partitions on a stick | 18:13 |
| mojtaba | solsTiCe: What should I do then? should I format the whole disk to fat32 and then make some partition on it, and then format those partitions to wathever I want? | 18:13 |
| phre4k | mojtaba: I don't think you know what partitions are. What are you trying to do? | 18:13 |
| solsTiCe | no. you create partition and then you format those partition with the filesystem you wish | 18:13 |

| explodes | Hey! Is there a command to boot into headless mode 1 time? | 18:15 |
| mojtaba | BluesKaj: I have used Gparted before. | 18:16 |
| Fuchs | boodllebat: you can use /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, but again, I wouldn't. Just limit it to key auth, have a password protected key, use a non-standard port to make kiddies bruteforce it less -> you're good | 18:16 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: rather set SSH to a port above 1024 and/or use portknockd | 18:16 |
| Fuchs | boodllebat: key only auth, don't allow root login, non-standard port and, if you want more, something that bans a host after n failed attempts | 18:16 |
| Fuchs | (fail2ban or similar) | 18:16 |
| boodllebat | Fuchs: i'm afraid if somebody gets physical access to my PC ! he'll access my server via key file | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | mojtaba, you use partitions for various filesystems like ext, ntfs or fat etc and usually filesystems contain an OS or OS data etc or an OS image | 18:18 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: don't use fail2ban, it could be used by malicious people to block your own IP. @Fuchs | 18:18 |
| Fuchs | boodllebat: have a password protected key. | 18:18 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: then secure it via password? | 18:18 |
| Fuchs | phre4k: that is highly unlikely, really | 18:18 |

| Fuchs | phre4k: that would mean the attacker can successfully spoof your IP, which is, again, rather unlikely | 18:19 |
| Fuchs | anyway, I recommended it as an "if that isn't enough already", up to him whether he wants it or not. Imo key only auth with a password protected key and non-standard port is fully sufficient, thus I recommended it (a couple of times by now) | 18:20 |
| phre4k | ^fair enough | 18:20 |
| boodllebat | Fuchs: but it look unprofessional if somebody nmaps your server and your ssh port is open ! | 18:20 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: yeah, right. You shouldn't put a server in the internet if you keep asking such questions :o | 18:21 |
| Fuchs | boodllebat: 1) no 2) you apparently didn't read what I wrote, at least 2 times by now | 18:21 |
| boodllebat | Fuchs: you said use non standerd port | 18:22 |
| Fuchs | with a bit less typos, but yes. So how do you jump to "but it look unprofessional if somebody nmaps your server and your ssh port is open !" from that? | 18:22 |
| Fuchs | *fewer | 18:22 |

| Orioa | can someone tell me how to change from graphical log in to text | 18:24 |
| boodllebat | Fuchs: what ! where am i wrong ? | 18:24 |
| boodllebat | phre4k: i'm new :P | 18:24 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: just for once or do you want to disable graphical login completely? | 18:25 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: for the former you can just CTRL+ALT+F1 (or F2, F3, F4 ...) | 18:25 |
| Orioa | disable completely | 18:25 |
| boodllebat | phre4k: can you help me out there ! | 18:25 |
| Fuchs | for the latter you can, if you no longer use it, uninstall lightdm (or whatever *dm is in use), or at least disable the service | 18:25 |
| boodllebat | Fuchs: what happened ? where was i wrong ? | 18:25 |
| Orioa | if i uninstall it will i still have my desktop | 18:26 |
| Orioa | how can i disable the service | 18:26 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: yes, if you start it manually after logging in | 18:26 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: so you have a server and you want to secure SSH? We already gave you advice, scroll back and read. | 18:26 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: sudo update-rc.d -f <name-of-dm-you-use> remove | 18:26 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: maybe it would be better if you stated your actual use case, so we can give better, more suited to the case solutions | 18:26 |
| Orioa | ok what if i just want to disable | 18:27 |
| Orioa | just in case | 18:27 |
| Fuchs | Orioa: the command I just gave you | 18:27 |
| Orioa | thought that would remove it | 18:27 |
| Fuchs | just fill in the <name-of-dm-you-use> by yourself, probably lightdm, but as I don't have my crystal ball at paw I can't say what you are using | 18:27 |
| boodllebat | phre4k: no the services like google.com facebook.com and all dont show their ssh ports ! where am i wrong here ? | 18:27 |
| Orioa | lightdm | 18:27 |
| Fuchs | no, that would disable it (remove the service from autostart, basically) | 18:27 |
| phre4k | Orioa: no, it removes it from the init system. apt-get remove would remove it from your system. | 18:27 |

| Orioa | ok i will returm gonna see if that worked or if i messed it up | 18:29 |
| phre4k | boodllebat: probably they use non-public IPs to communicate with their servers. A server can have multiple IPs and I bet my left ball that the google.com server is just a reverse proxy of some sort. | 18:29 |
| === Orioa is now known as OrioaZzZ | ||
| phre4k | boodllebat: and I also bet that they VPN into their data center network and then connect to the servers. And that they don't use IPv4 anymore for that. | 18:31 |

| meganerd | boodllebat: yes | 18:39 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: same with scp | 18:40 |
| t-cron | yeats: mostly just initialization of devices and a switch to mode 1366x768, which appears normal. If it was X-server, I would think consoles on <alt><fn> would work in the event, but when I say nothing works, I mean nothing. Like it dies on me and pc fan just starts spinning real fast. | 18:42 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: what do you use when you want to transfer large files from local system to remote server ? | 18:44 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: netcat :P | 18:45 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: o.O can we use that ? how do you do it ? | 18:46 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: usually rsync over ssh, sftp if the remote host is configured not to have a shell access | 18:46 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: I only use netscat on my lan when I want the fastest possible throughput | 18:46 |
| bekks | boodllebat: I'd use ssh. netcat isnt encrypted. | 18:47 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: do you send files one by one ! or you make a tar and send single file and decompress it on remote server cause it'll be very difficult to do one by one file from terminal ! | 18:48 |
| boodllebat | bekks: did you mean SFTP ! ? | 18:48 |
| bekks | boodllebat: No. I mean ssh :) | 18:49 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: tar + bzip or sometimes 7zip | 18:49 |
| bekks | boodllebat: scp :) | 18:49 |
| boodllebat | bekks: do you send single tar or multiple files one by one ? | 18:49 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: rsync can take directories in a single command | 18:49 |
| bekks | boodllebat: I dont care about that at all, since I just use rsync over ssh or scp. | 18:50 |

| boodllebat | bekks: rsync looks so cooool! | 18:53 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: in looking at the history, there are a couple of things you can do to protect ssh | 18:53 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: :) how ? | 18:54 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: I like fail2ban, it will automatically add firewall rules for a certain number of failed auth atempts | 18:54 |
| === scorpio18_ is now known as scorpio18 | ||
| bekks | boodllebat: change the ssh port, use fail2ban, use keybased auth instead of password based auth. | 18:54 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: use keys, | 18:55 |
| bekks | boodllebat: That should suffice to secure ssh. | 18:55 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: have monitoring in place (logcheck, or something more complicated | 18:55 |
| yeats | boodllebat: meganerd: and set up SSH keys between hosts | 18:55 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: i dont wanna use ssh keys as i am not sure if my physical system is safe ! and i usually login from multiple systems , is there is way like to use password auth and protect my system ? | 18:55 |
| yeats | oh, bekks said that ;-) | 18:55 |
| yeats | boodllebat: you can set up passphrases with keys too | 18:56 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: I would also look at restricting the users that you want to have sftp only access (change their shell to /usr/bin/scponly) | 18:56 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: how to use passphrares inside keys ? | 18:56 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: if your local system is not safe, then ultimately there is nothing that you can do | 18:56 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: you need at somepoint a trustworthy machine | 18:56 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: my friends can steal my system ! | 18:57 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: ssh-genkey will prompt you | 18:57 |
| yeats | boodllebat: 'ssh-keygen' will ask for a passphrase by defualt (blank passphrase means no passphrase) | 18:57 |
| === Orioa is now known as OrioaZzZ | ||
| boodllebat | yeats: can anybody crack that passphrase by looking at my key file ! | 18:57 |
| yeats | boodllebat: no | 18:58 |
| bekks | boodllebat: you can protect keys by a passphrase. You specify that when creating the key. | 18:58 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: yup | 18:58 |
| t-cron | yeah, passphrase and key, best of both worlds | 18:58 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: offline attacks are fast | 18:58 |
| arvenius | i have a new lenovo machine | 18:58 |
| arvenius | i trust superfish is protecting me | 18:58 |
| yeats | boodllebat: well, yeah, but if they've gotten that far in, you have bigger problems | 18:58 |
| bekks | boodllebat: you need to hide your secret key, but you give your public key away, literally. | 18:58 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: offline attacks are fast ? what do you mean by that ? | 18:58 |
| yeats | arvenius: did you get the wireless working? | 18:59 |
| arvenius | no i quit in frustration and installed win8 | 18:59 |
| t-cron | It would depend on the encryption alg, wouldnt it? If it is modern, then it should take a long time to crack. | 18:59 |
| yeats | arvenius: ah - bummer :-/ | 18:59 |
| arvenius | i figured ill try again with 15.4. or something | 18:59 |
| yeats | arvenius: watch that bug report - it's possible it will be in the kernel by default soon | 19:00 |
| arvenius | will do | 19:00 |

| meganerd | boodllebat: either with iptables, single packet auth, or services.allow | 19:16 |

| meganerd | boodllebat: which part | 19:17 |
| eukreign | phunyguy: that opens it locally, i want it to open on the desktop i'm SSH'ed into | 19:17 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: which one is easier ? | 19:17 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: it depends | 19:18 |
| phunyguy | eukreign: oh, in that case, ssh in, the export DISPLAY=:0, and launch the app. | 19:18 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: and what you recommaned ? | 19:18 |
| phunyguy | then* | 19:18 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: if you are on a dynamic IP, I don't recommend it | 19:18 |
| boodllebat | meganerd: i'm on a dynamic IP | 19:18 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: I use my laptop a lot, and since I don't know what my IPs are going to be I just fail2ban, limited number of usernames (that are not common), and ssh keys | 19:19 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: then single packet auth is what makes sense, though it is not trivial to set up | 19:19 |
| eukreign | phunyguy: i get error message: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key ** (eog:2382): WARNING **: Could not open X display | 19:19 |

| phunyguy | if not, this is probably not possible | 19:20 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: option 2 is to get a sixxs ipv6 tunnel, then only allow IPv6 connections | 19:20 |
| eukreign | ssh or do you mean is unity logged in as me? | 19:20 |
| phunyguy | eukreign: I mean is unity logged in as you | 19:20 |

| boodllebat | meganerd: i dont have ipv6 | 19:21 |
| phunyguy | eukreign: I am afraid I don't think there is way to do that from ssh. | 19:21 |
| meganerd | boodllebat: AWS does, and you can get a tunnel from sixxs.net | 19:21 |
| eukreign | basically, this is what i want as end result: i turn on the desktop and then from another computer trigger a browser to open to a particular page | 19:21 |
| steffen | i just want to use it for simple things. i set up qsynth with my midi keyboard, now there is no sound in firefox on youtube etc. wth is going on | 19:21 |
| phunyguy | eukreign: you can have it autologin, but that is the extent of it. | 19:21 |

| bekks | VolUTFan: According to "/names", "yes". | 20:23 |
| maum_ | hello | 20:23 |
| VolUTFan | lol, that doesn't mean anyone is sitting at the computer or even paying attention lol | 20:23 |
| VolUTFan | hey maum | 20:23 |
| maum_ | how to add multiple users? | 20:23 |
| maum_ | I need to add 32 users | 20:24 |
| maum_ | with home directory | 20:24 |
| bekks | maum_: Script it. | 20:24 |
| VolUTFan | sounds like your heading up a project for a lab | 20:24 |
| maum_ | script it? | 20:24 |
| maum_ | how? | 20:24 |
| bekks | maum_: for user in user1 user2 user3; do adduser -d /home/$user -m; done | 20:25 |
| VolUTFan | couldn't he add the usernames to a text file, then call the text file from the adduser | 20:25 |
| bekks | maum_: for user in user1 user2 user3; do adduser -d /home/$user -m $user; done | 20:25 |
| maum_ | is that c program? | 20:25 |
| VolUTFan | no maum | 20:25 |
| meganerd | maum_: text file with usernames, then "for each in text.file ; do sudo adduser $each --home /path/to/home/$each ; done" | 20:25 |
| VolUTFan | he is talking about right from the terminal | 20:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | for user in user{1..33} ; do echo $user ; done | 20:26 |
| maum_ | is that terminal command? | 20:26 |
| bekks | maum_: Yes. | 20:26 |
| meganerd | maum_: mine and bekks | 20:26 |
| VolUTFan | try adding the usernames, 1 per line to a text file, then do somethign like for user in /home/user/file; do....... | 20:26 |
| maum_ | the user is bs01~bs32 and password is qortjreo1 ~ qortjreo32 | 20:26 |
| SchrodingersScat | meganerd: that works for you? | 20:26 |
| bekks | maum_: choose other passwords now... | 20:27 |
| maum_ | sh script? | 20:27 |
| SchrodingersScat | !bash | 20:27 |

| SchrodingersScat | meganerd: odd, because when I put a path to a file that way, it does not list the contents. | 20:27 |
| whac-a-retro | Finder > Applications > Utilities > Terminal.app | 20:28 |
| meganerd | SchrodingersScat: what do you mean? | 20:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | meganerd | maum_: text file with usernames, then "for each in text.file ; do sudo adduser $each --home /path/to/home/$each ; done" | 20:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | meganerd: not on my machine | 20:28 |
| maum_ | I still don't know wherther I have to run the command in terminal or make sh script for 'for' command. | 20:29 |
| SchrodingersScat | maum_: should be equivalent | 20:29 |
| maum_ | how can I set password? | 20:30 |
| maum_ | the user is bs01~bs32 and password is qortjreo1 ~ qortjreo32 | 20:30 |
| maum_ | that I have to add. | 20:30 |
| VolUTFan | if I am not mistaken, when you create a useraccount, it doesn't automatically set a password. it would be no password associated with the accounts | 20:30 |

| tb303 | Hi all. I have a question about the Linux version of Opera. I love it but I have one problem. I am bilingual and Chinese characters display in a really bad font. I don't know how to change it. | 20:31 |
| meganerd | well I think I do "for each in `cat list.txt` ..." | 20:31 |
| meganerd | SchrodingersScat: and yes it does create the directories for me | 20:32 |
| SchrodingersScat | maum_: I don't see the option in adduser, but I see a password option in useradd, i would just be careful about differences between the two before proceeding | 20:32 |
| CodingFree | Hi guys, I'm using a desktop and I haven't the dual boot option; I guess that I have fast boot enabled, so it is not shown even the POST screen. Is there any way to disable the fast boot, so I could boot Ubuntu using a live cd? | 20:33 |
| SchrodingersScat | meganerd: my problem was mostly in the 'for each in text.file' since that seems to be invalid for the purpose. glad you cleared that up | 20:34 |
| meganerd | SchrodingersScat: the vast majority of time I am iterating through an array that I define from some other file (like a csv) | 20:35 |
| etronik | CodingFree, try pressing some of the function keys right after power up, like F2 or F8 or something like that | 20:36 |
| tmch | Hi! Is it safe to allow telnet access to everyone and then run a public server program in ~/.profile? | 20:36 |
| SchrodingersScat | for i in {01..32} ; do echo "bs${i}" ; echo "qortjreo${i}" ; done # don't really need a list, bash builtin can change the number for the username and password so they match. | 20:36 |
| maum | SchrodingersScat: can I run it on terminal? | 20:39 |
| SchrodingersScat | maum: mine was just showing how you can use {01..32} in bash to iterate your variables, but yeah, go ahead and run that line, it should just spit out 62 lines | 20:40 |
| meganerd | SchrodingersScat: I have traditionally used "declare -a somevar=(a,b,c,)", I use a very modular (and verbose is the amount of code way) approach. | 20:40 |
| meganerd | SchrodingersScat: to protect against my mistakes and those of others, I would probably check each item in that list to make sure that there is not crap in the input file :) | 20:43 |
| CodingFree | not luck etronik | 20:45 |
| etronik | CodingFree, I don't have any more tips, but for sure there is a way... tried googling already ? | 20:46 |
| CodingFree | yes etronik, I tried even looking to do it using Windows/cmd, but nothing yet | 20:47 |
| CodingFree | restarting the CMOS doesn't seem to work, it seems enabled by default | 20:47 |
| VolUTFan | rsync.. on terminal I need to add sudo to run it. If I throw it in a crontab line, so I am doing backups daily, do I need to use sudo? | 20:47 |

| dsnyders | Hi All! I'm looking for alternatives to Webmin. Is OpenPanel any good? | 20:55 |
| bekks | Depends on what you want to do. | 20:55 |
| rashivar | no. When you run crontab -e , it shows you user's crontab when run with sudo , it shows root's crontab | 20:55 |
| VolUTFan | In that case, I should do a sudo crontab -e and edit only the roots crontab table. Maybe I should move all of my crontab entries to root? | 20:55 |

| lasko | rosco_y: During the boot loader press E to edit the boot line and then add 3 at the end of the kernel line. Then hit B | 21:32 |
| lasko | That'll boot you into non-graphical | 21:32 |
| lasko | Assuming you are using Grub. | 21:32 |
| rosco_y | lasko, Thank You! I'm not seeing any grub menu when I boot (fresh install), do I need the grub menu for that? | 21:33 |
| BlauskaerM | Hello folks, can you help me with a package question? | 21:33 |
| winterchillz | BlauskaerM: shoot, mate | 21:33 |
| lasko | rosco_y: When you boot do you see any menu appear? | 21:33 |
| rosco_y | Just my login ID and the "Guest Login" option | 21:33 |
| BlauskaerM | I have a ubuntu server an want to run a vnc server with xfce. Which package do I need to install? | 21:34 |
| lasko | rosco_y: Are you wanting it to happen always on boot or jsut "right now" | 21:34 |
| Ben64 | rosco_y: pretty sure runlevels besides 0, 1, and 6 are all the same | 21:34 |
| BlauskaerM | Basically, what are the basic packages needed? | 21:34 |
| rosco_y | Right now my graphics are scrambled, I think I can get by with the shell interface | 21:35 |

| Ben64 | rosco_y: so do the text thing i just had the bot tell you | 21:36 |
| lasko | rosco_y: try ctrl+alt+backspace | 21:36 |
| lasko | or reboot and do what Ben64 said | 21:36 |
| BlauskaerM | rosco_y: Bad drivers or old graphic card? | 21:36 |
| Ben64 | lasko: ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work by default on ubuntu | 21:36 |

| lasko | Ben64: Ah thats right. | 21:37 |

| AlexPortable | I've been working on this for quite some time but I just can't get it to work.. | 21:39 |
| BlauskaerM | rosco_y: Could to take a screenshot? If the image is bad quality then it might be the drivers. Otherwise it might indicate that you have some hardware problem? | 21:39 |
| winterchillz | abountu: The first thing from the top of my head is the unity-tweak-tool that has options to change font size etc. You can also take a look at Appearance (search it in the launchpad) | 21:39 |
| rosco_y | Thanks lasko, Ben64, BlauskaerM, Winterchillz et. al. I'll try the shift during boot once. | 21:39 |
| BlauskaerM | Dont know if that is a correct assumption :P | 21:39 |
| rosco_y | then when I'm in grub, then add a 3 to the end of the boot command, and press 'B' | 21:40 |

| solsTiCe | winterchillz: no I don't want to restart X. I have lost the global menu and the applet in it. I want it back | 21:44 |
| BlauskaerM | Sorry, once again. What are the minimum package requirement for installing xfce or where can I read about it? | 21:44 |
| bekks | solsTiCe: for getting it back, you need to restart X. | 21:44 |
| winterchillz | ah, misunderstanding then, sorry. Not sure I can help with any advices except for don't install/remove packages randomly - I always end up messing up my desktop | 21:45 |
| winterchillz | BlauskaerM: apt-get should tell you if you need any additional packages usually and it will auto-install them for you | 21:45 |
| BlauskaerM | winterchillz: Had some problems last time I tried with ubuntu server. | 21:47 |
| solsTiCe | bekks: can't i simply restart the msising process ? | 21:47 |
| Loshki | BlauskaerM: more importantly, it will list any missing dependencies and ask you before installing them. Why do you need a 'minimum package'? Are you short of disk space? | 21:47 |
| BlauskaerM | Loshki: No just want to minimize the program footprint. Just reinstalled the server :P | 21:48 |
| BlauskaerM | But if there are no other known speciall procedure, I will go with apt-get xfce | 21:49 |

| jojo_ | now the image desktop come up | 21:55 |
| souuell | i have configured interfaces for bonding, and now i want to restart ALL OF NETWORKING. how do you do that on 12.04? | 21:55 |
| rosco_y | That worked great Ben64--I'm up and running now *knock-knock* | 21:55 |
| Loshki | BlauskaerM: no, the whole point of the packaging system is to manage all that for you, because no-one wants to have to track it manually (except slackware users apparently). If it fails to install/work on a supported release, it's a bug, and should be reported if possible. Which OS version, btw? | 21:55 |
| jojo_ | and go down!! | 21:55 |
| winterchillz | souuell: sudo service networking restart? | 21:56 |
| jojo_ | I try to reinstall a ubuntu -desktop but nothing | 21:56 |
| winterchillz | jojo_: try sudo lightdm restart | 21:57 |
| Loshki | souuell: you might try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart, but it's not the only networking-related script, so sometimes it's not enough, and you have to run other scripts, or reboot, depending on what you changed. | 21:57 |
| jojo_ | don't change nothing | 21:57 |
| jojo_ | ok | 21:57 |
| BlauskaerM | Loshki: Ubuntu-server 14.04.2 LTS | 21:57 |
| Loshki | BlauskaerM: I didn't realise 14.04 was up to .2 already. I'm really happy with 12.04.4. Solid as a rock. | 21:58 |
| jojo_ | nothing | 21:58 |

| maum | Does anyone know how to add multiple users with shell script? here is the script but it is not working http://pastebin.com/6ZE2bNWe | 21:59 |
| Loshki | jojo_: login to another tty (CTRL+ALT+F1) and poke around. Is you home directory and associated config still there? | 21:59 |
| invitado-676876 | Alguien habla español aquí | 22:00 |

| invitado-676876 | Soy nueva y no se donde estoy | 22:00 |
| bekks | maum: As being told in #bash your script has a huge amount of wrong quotations at least. | 22:00 |
| jojo_ | loshki I don't know | 22:01 |
| maum | huge amount of wrong quotation? | 22:01 |
| Loshki | jojo_: well, can you login on an alternate tty? | 22:01 |
| BlauskaerM | Loshki: Yeah 12.04 was great. Have 12.04 on one of my building machines at work | 22:01 |
| bekks | maum: thats what you were told in #bash | 22:01 |
| BlauskaerM | Loshki: BitBake and Yocto needs 12.04 to work :P | 22:02 |
| jojo_ | i have the same thing in all tty | 22:02 |
| bekks | maum: And then you asked on how to fix that. I read that too ;) | 22:02 |
| jojo_ | now I dont'know what happened the pc is crazy | 22:02 |
| maum | yes bekks | 22:03 |
| jojo_ | now I have a more symbols in my desktop | 22:03 |
| maum | I still don't know how to fix the script | 22:03 |
| Loshki | You're saying CTRL+ALT+F1 (F2, F3, F4...) are all black with no login prompt? | 22:03 |
| jojo_ | but no a gnome desktop | 22:03 |
| jojo_ | loshki yes | 22:04 |
| jojo_ | the login promp is the same don't chang nothing to F1F2F3 | 22:04 |
| bekks | maum: first thing would be not using perl, second thing would be using lowercase variable names, third thing would be using chpasswd for changing the user password after creating the user. | 22:05 |
| bekks | maum: Like this: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/790-changing-password-via-a-script | 22:05 |
| Loshki | jojo_: I'm confused. You say all screens are black, but then you said that you have a desktop, allbeit not the one you expected.... | 22:06 |
| phre4k | I wanted to install Xubuntu, error "(initramfs) unable to find medium containing live file system" – tried all the boot options, still doesnt work | 22:07 |
| winterchillz | !xubuntu | phre4k | 22:07 |
| ubottu | phre4k: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 22:07 |
| jojo_ | loshki when I start a machine he make all charge | 22:07 |
| winterchillz | whoa, it actually worked | 22:07 |
| jojo_ | when he go to the time for to up a desktop I looking the monitor black with a cursor | 22:08 |
| Loshki | bekks: perl is used to access crypt. Not sure how else to do that part, offhand. The basic idea is sound. The rest is basically grammar & spelling. | 22:08 |
| abountu | my screen keeps on flickering, I got a new 4k resolution | 22:08 |
| bekks | Loshki: chpasswd is for chaning the password without perl. :) | 22:08 |

| bekks | *changing | 22:09 |
| jojo_ | when I make ctrl+alt+F1 F2 F3 | 22:09 |
| jojo_ | I look the same login | 22:09 |
| Loshki | bekks: ah, yes, that's better. maum, pay attention... | 22:09 |
| bekks | Loshki: I know what perl is intended to do in that script, but keeping it simple would be more targetting for the perl-unexperienced users. | 22:09 |
| winterchillz | abountu: did you look into what unity-tweak-tool has to offer? | 22:10 |
| abountu | winterchillz, there are many options, but I see nothing that helps in my problem | 22:10 |
| phre4k | ubottu: hm, right, because the installer is totally not Ubuntu. | 22:10 |
| abountu | winterchillz, I installed it, along with the gnome-tweak-tool , I had a look, I couldn't solve either problems | 22:11 |
| kwesidev | Kernel 3.19 acpi error why that | 22:11 |
| bekks | kwesidev: Without any context, thats hard to guess. | 22:11 |
| winterchillz | abountu: unity-tweak-tool -> Fonts should allow you to increase the font | 22:11 |
| k1l | kwesidev: 3.19 is in no release in ubuntu so far | 22:12 |
| winterchillz | no idea about the flickering screen though, I'm sorry, I can't even imagine what 4k resolution is | 22:12 |
| kwesidev | http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/linux-kernel-3-19-stable-released-install-upgrade-in-ubuntu-linux-mint | 22:12 |
| Loshki | phre4k: ubottu is a bot (triggered in this instance by winterchillz). Nevertheless, ubottu's advice is sound. | 22:12 |
| abountu | winterchillz, I did the scaling, it increases the fonts on some windows, but not much more. I need to be able to see the xterm and the brower etc.. | 22:13 |
| k1l | kwesidev: you are aware that you installed mainline kernels? | 22:13 |
| kwesidev | yes | 22:13 |
| kwesidev | mainline isnt good?? | 22:13 |
| Loshki | abountu: I don't know anything about 4k either, but flicker kind of screams hardware... | 22:13 |
| k1l | !mainline | kwesidev | 22:13 |
| ubottu | kwesidev: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 22:13 |
| winterchillz | abountu: you can maybe take a look at this topic: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2164924 | 22:14 |
| abountu | Loshki, ok ... shame | 22:14 |
| winterchillz | there are similar ones, I used 'ubuntu 4k resolution' as a Google search term | 22:14 |
| abountu | winterchillz, thanks, I'll have a look | 22:14 |
| bekks | kwesidev: And in addition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Does_the_kernel_team_support_the_mainline_kernel_builds.3F | 22:14 |
| winterchillz | I'm sorry, abountu, using really old LCD monitor here, even had to google what 4k is :) | 22:14 |
| abountu | winterchillz, yeah, I just got a latest model dell, and had a really hard time to get ubuntu on it | 22:15 |
| abountu | winterchillz, now trying to configur it | 22:15 |
| winterchillz | good luck, mate, hope you can make it. Keep looking around and don't hesitate to ask questions I'm sure there are people around who use 4k, maybe those are just afk right now | 22:16 |
| Loshki | abountu: 4k is so new, I hope it's under warranty. Linux loves *old* hardware. | 22:16 |
| Loshki | abountu: or try ##hardware, although they tend to ramble... | 22:16 |
| abountu | ok thanks | 22:17 |

| jhutchins | jojo_: That happens when the system isn't identifying the user in the terminal as the one who owns the screen. | 22:43 |

| freeroute | bekks: and hopefully I can also switch once I get my backup working and the configuration straight | 23:01 |
| teward | freeroute: if you're trying to secure the host, then you should try and backport the Trusty version to Precise probably in a PPA | 23:01 |
| stijndg | bagginsDK, not sure about this maybe someone else here can spread more light on this but as far as i know the drive needs to be mounted before appearing in /media | 23:01 |

| teward | bekks: he's looking to follow that article he posted for modified configurations | 23:03 |
| freeroute | right | 23:03 |

| OutOFNoWhere_ | brompt_, I don't know what that is, I am on ubuntu | 23:04 |
| freeroute | seeing as though the older ssh clients don't have some ciphers/MACs/kexalgos, it becomes very hard to connect to a customized sshd | 23:04 |
| winterchillz | should be unity then | 23:05 |
| bprompt_ | OutOFNoWhere_: ok..... do you see on the system tray.... an icon that looks like a "V" looks like a car windshield...... that'd be the wifi manager..... left-click it, and it'd show the available connections | 23:05 |

| jhutchins | lhorace: Again, within what applications? There are several spellcheck subsystems available, but most gui apps incorporate them already. | 23:34 |

| lhorace | bprompt: Goldendickt seems pretty nice. Spell cheks as you type and tabbed support | 23:35 |
| bprompt | lhorace: and both stardict and goldendict use the same dictionary files, just different UI | 23:36 |
| lhorace | I see | 23:36 |
