[04:16] econdudeawesome, check the size of all the files in your /var/log folder [04:16] econdudeawesome: well, you might be able to make some free space. can you paste (using the same site) "ls -al /boot" ?

[10:03] have you tried apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ? [10:05] pvinis: Most likely no, since your hoster uses a customized kernel for your VPS being able to boot. [10:05] aha [10:05] f*ckers..

[10:06] canceling the vps i got from them [10:06] pvinis: As the V in CPS indicates, all VPS are _virtuall_ private servers, running customized kernel for being able to boot. [10:06] V in VPS. === NEON is now known as Guest92306 [10:06] yea ok but other vps have kernel 3.10 etc [10:07] You need to get a dedicated root server (as they are called in Europe), for getting around that limitation. [10:07] so if i get a vps at least i should have a new ekrnel [10:07] pvinis: 3.10 isnt the current 14.04 kernel either. [10:07] What you run is the userspace aside from the kernel [10:07] i want to run docker [10:07] pvinis: And just because they are using 2.6.32 or 3.10 it doesnt indicate that they did not apply latest security patches.

[10:35] well it listens on a port and i forward to it through nginx as a reverse proxy, but that part is taken care of [10:35] !upstart | darthdeus [10:35] darthdeus: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [10:36] bekks: upstart is like /etc/init.d ? [10:36] darthdeus: No, as ubottu just said, upstart is a replacement for SYSV init. [10:37] hmm [10:38] bekks: who is this "he"? [10:39] genoa: "darthdeus" [10:41] upstart seems to be doing what I need :) thanks guys [10:47] wow it actually works :O [10:50] bekks: 14.02 LTS 64-bit worked immediately. thanks ;] [10:58] question for experienced programmer. i have set up apache and installed phpstorm on ubuntu 14.04. ready to learn some php now, but... how to go about It? Do I work with files in var/www or hook up phpstorm with that directory, or do some linking to the home folder? Im not sure what to do. please help me get started. [11:06] when will ubuntu 15.04 be released?? [11:06] kwesidev: In 04-2015?

[11:16] What happens if I create a user with "useradd" and I haven't set a paswword yet? [11:17] I mean is it already a valid user? [11:18] bibi-23: Sure. The user just cant login. [11:20] bekks: ok I see, I've made some tests and I think without password the only way to "be" this user is to "sudo -u username command" right? [11:20] Hi === Xano_ is now known as Xano [11:21] Is there anyone here could help me with Ubunti wireless please? [11:22] bibi-23: You could place an ssh pubkey in ~user/.ssh/autorized_keys and log in. [11:22] me? [11:26] i executed by mistake the command > # rsync -ave ssh . [11:26] what just append?? [11:26] idk [11:27] i stopped as quickly as i could, but many files where doing something [11:27] < -- trying to get some help with ath9k wireless [11:28] nodedfree: you did put it in -v (verbose). Did you not get an output? [11:28] Squall5668, no, i've pasted the command as executed [11:29] i saw many lines of files, i don't know where they were copied [11:35] The directory you are currently in [11:36] *sits on the sofa and opens pringles [11:36] Squall5668, so actually nothing were affected ? [11:37] Yeah, most likely [11:37] i tried to located the files and i didn't see any duplicated [11:37] dplicates [11:37] i won't fix this again [11:37] what were you trying to do with rsync? [11:38] nodedfree: What was the command you executed? [11:39] rsync -ave ssh . [11:39] there is a dot [11:39] nodedfree: but no target specificuation. [11:39] i know that what is weird [11:39] *specification [11:39] still files were flying [11:40] So pastebin a few lines that are "flying".

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [11:41] ubotto, no one has replied to ask what the problem is yet so won;t know the answer [11:41] and yeah, been googling for months :) [11:41] !bot | Bubba [11:41] Bubba: Hi!

[11:42] Not yet, I asked for help though and thought someone may ask whats up [11:42] Bubba: that is not how it works here. ask tha full detailed question and see if someone can help. but asking to ask is not leading anywhere [11:43] problem is, ath9k driver fails to compile and I can;t see any 5GHz channel [11:43] my bad [11:45] am running 14.10 Utopic and tried to recomile ath9k driver from compat drivers, but still fails to compile - idk enough to find out why [11:45] is this a known issue with your card? what card is it? why does the compile fail? what exact messages do you get? [11:45] Bubba: details matter "my car is broken" will not help the mechanic find whats wrong, too :) [11:46] there's lots of problems with Ubuntu and ath9k - reg dom setting blocking 5GHz channels - tried lots of workarounds using CRDA (one of which is to recompile the drivers using compat drivers) but none seem to work [11:47] Bubba: "lots of problems" and "none seem to work" are just meaningless generic statements [11:49] wow poeple full of attitude today [11:50] looks fine to me, you're reading them wrong. [11:50] you want me to list everything i've tried since 12.10 and why it's not worked? [11:50] we only care about current supported releases :) [11:50] 14.04 LTS supported yes? [11:51] of course. [11:51] Bubba: Currently supported: 10.04 LTS (server), 12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 14.10] [11:51] ok, well comile also failed in 14.04 :) [11:52] right well you have to actually show us some errors to get anywhere [11:52] "it dun work" doesn't give us much to go on :) [11:52] !paste | Bubba share it via this [11:52] Bubba share it via this: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[12:11] If I knew the answer to that I would probably be helping myself :) [12:11] Well, the mainline kernel is not installed automagically, but by the user. [12:12] only updates I;ve installed are either via Sunapitics or recommnded by google search to resolve my problem [12:12] Bubba: see if "linux-generic" is installed [12:12] with "sudo apt-get install linux-generic [12:14] is just installing, so it wasn't already [12:15] when its done please show a "dpkg -k | grep linux-image" in a pastebin [12:15] lambert is now rnat :P [12:16] getting error on cron mysql backup: /var/www/db-backup.sh: line 17: /backup/cron-dump-2015-03-01.sql.gz: Permission denied [12:16] mysqldump: Got errno 32 on write [12:16] MagePsycho: So fix your permissions, and please do not crosspost. [12:17] dpkg -k unknown option [12:17] bekks: i can write any thing [12:17] MagePsycho: Obviously you cant. [12:17] so it’s not related to permission i guess [12:17] Bubba: sorry typo: "dpkg -l |grep linux-image" [12:17] bekks: context permission ;) [12:17] MagePsycho: It clearly IS a permission issue, the error states: "Permission denied". What do you think is it? :) [12:17] MagePsycho: What is "context permission"? [12:18] bekks: /usr/bin/mysqldump -u $username -p$password $dbName | gzip > $backupDir/$fileName.sql.gz [12:18] aa [12:18] MagePsycho: and you dont have permission to write that target file. [12:18] bekks: is the cron command [12:18] results here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10486004/ [12:19] if i run the same command manually then everything works [12:19] bekks: so wondering.. [12:19] MagePsycho: So which permissions does "/backup" have? And which user is running that cron? [12:19] Bubba: "sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.16.0-031600-generic" that will remove the mainline kernel. after a reboot you will be on the regular ubuntu kernel back again. [12:20] bekks: makes sense.. backup has root permission and crontab is running as mager user [12:20] ok, so purge reboot and try to recompile again? [12:20] MagePsycho: So you have a permission issue. [12:20] k1l_: are you an ubuntu employee? [12:20] bekks: Yup man [12:21] Bubba: i dont know if that works then, but then we removed a manually installed old kernel from august 2014 and can sort that out as a possible issue [12:21] ok, brb after reboot [12:22] barcelos: no. but what is your actual ubuntu support issue? [12:22] k1l_: none [12:22] pardon me but im trying to port ubuntu touch but tripped up over this particular issue [12:23] cananyone point me in the right direction? [12:23] blackjack_: better ask in #ubuntu-touch but keep in mind that most specialists are on weekend sparetime :) [12:23] ah thanks [12:24] yea I understand, I just now found the time to start porting lol [12:24] porting it to ? [12:24] samsung galaxy s2 (t-mobile version) [12:26] blackjack_: have you ported touch to any device in the past? [12:26] rnat, no [12:26] blackjack_: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/ read this?? [12:27] read through the whole guide before starting though, the process looked pretty straight forward enough for me to give it a shot [12:27] When I shutdown my computer and when I restart it, I have always crash messages. Not because there are bugs, because Ubuntu shutdowns to quickly and maybe it doesn't wait that the applications are closed. How can I resolve my problem? [12:27] yea that's exactly what im following [12:27] On Windows, we can modify the reg to change the shutdown session time. In Ubuntu, is like "Shutdown" and immediately it's done and it crashes softwares that give me messages after the restart. [12:27] I thought about doing a script that deletes the crash folder after the restart but I want to understand the problem here and find a better solution. [12:28] blackjack_: you must be rich to take such a huge risk on an expensive device ;) [12:28] rnat, lol I got only for 100 bucks from a friend last year [12:29] ho [12:29] hi dronr [12:29] sory dron [12:30] am just re running make after a rebot [12:31] *reboot [12:31] blackjack_: If I were you , I would have done some research on exonys soc with touch . [12:31] it's a qualcomn chipset this version [12:31] the i900 is the one with the exynos [12:32] blackjack_: I see [12:32] rnat: blackjack_ you are free to put the mobile device talking into #ubuntu-touch :) [12:32] updated results here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10486171/ [12:32] oh yea my bad [12:34] k1l_: could not resist my curiosity :P [12:34] is rEFInd still required to dual boot Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro? [12:35] Bubba: remove -Werror from Makefile [12:36] Bubba: is your Makefile pointing to the right directory? [12:36] how do I check that? I just downloaded compat drivers and unzipped them [12:37] Bubba: did you try "linux-backports-modules" already before compiling? [12:38] I seem to recall reading over the last month or two ath9k is included in the newer kernels so not needed? [12:44] How can we change the shutdown conditions (for instance the shutdown session time) in Ubuntu? My problem: Ubuntu shutdown too quickly and it's not waiting that all applications are closed. [12:53] no more ideas? === corey84_ is now known as Corey84 === Tjommi_ is now known as Tjommi [13:08] tried looking around, still fails to compile http://paste.ubuntu.com/10486171/ === newbie is now known as Guest73326 === rootkea__ is now known as dfdds [13:21] Is there anyone here who can actually help or am I wasting my time? [13:21] Bubba: patience helps, but have you actually checked to see if the drivers are already present for your system? [13:22] why are you compiling a new kernel? instead of using one from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [13:22] Hello guys! I do have a problem when I am gonna connect with VNC. It do say "Too many authentication failures". I have no idea why :/ [13:22] If they aren't, did you make sure you got the right driver package for that kernel / compiler [13:22] teward, am being patiently (ignored) and problem is I;m trying to compile the driver and it's failing [13:23] Morning all. [13:23] because I was told earlier to uninstall the mainline kernel [13:24] if you don't feel comfortable compiling the kernel you should use the pre-packaged ones [13:25] currently I'm unable to view my display in graphics mode / terminal mode cause display settings are screwed [13:25] any ideas how i can reset them to a supported setting? [13:25] I can't ssh into my machine atm either :| [13:25] not that I don;t feel comfortable jatt, is more I;m asking for some help (and so far receiving a load of attitude) === dfdds is now known as rootkea [13:26] !kernel | Bubba [13:26] Bubba: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [13:26] exactly [13:26] try a mainline kernel first, only if that doesn't fix your issue, try to compile it yourself [13:27] Does anyone know how to fix "Too many authentication failures" VNC error? [13:27] idk if you guys have discovered Google yet, but it's riddled with Ubuntu users struggling with Qualcomm Atheros wifi drivers [13:27] Bubba: sorry but your attitude is getting more and more aggressive. people tried to help you but they lost motivation since you dont give informations but keep telling them they have a attitude when they ask for details. [13:27] Bubba: you did not even once tell what actual wifi card you got there. [13:28] ok, don't mean to come across as agressive, but I think being ignored is rude [13:28] Bubba: and telling people about google like you did is more attitude than i saw in a week in this channel. so please dont make it more drama than it needs to be [13:28] and I said quite a few times issue is with ath9k drivers [13:29] Bubba, everyone here is a volunteer. Experts are rare. A volunteer may or may not have specific knowledge of your issue at any given time. Your patience goes a long way. Your courtesy goes even further. [13:29] Bubba: so you are unable to tell what card you got? [13:29] I'm almost 50 years old, and within forst 5 minutes here was told off for asking questions (in a support channel) O.o [13:29] Bubba: or is it a secret? [13:30] Bubba, whynot just tell those who are trying to help you what they need to know, is that too difficult for you? [13:31] Finnen: What are you trying to connect to ? Do you have access to the server.

[13:39] please install that with "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" and then run "dmesg | pastebinit" and give the url here === Commentator is now known as Guest33455 [13:40] It is being broadcast because I have other (non Uuntu devices) connected using 5GHz [13:41] ok Bubba, then that's eliminated [13:43] BlueSka there are 2 problems here - Eeprom setting on the Atheros card using 'default' RegDom setting and restricting the use of GHz but I can't get CRDA to override the default value + 2.4GHz runs incredibly slowly (common problem apparently) [13:43] So I'm trying to recompile the ath9k driver to make sure it's installed properly, but it fails to compile [13:44] failure message here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10486171/ [13:44] Hi all, i am having trouble sharing folders between my Ubuntu host and Windows computer.

[13:58] I haven't changed anything to IN, I'm not there [13:59] 'sudo iw reg set GB' [13:59] yes, but that is just temporary [13:59] sudo nano /etc/default/crda [13:59] hm, ok?

[14:26] kll, as I said earlier I;ve tried to fix this problem since 12.10 - afaik there are already bugs for it, but hoped it would be fixed by 14.10 [14:27] what I don't know is why crda override seems to be ignored [14:27] Bubba: well how should one know and fix it if its no filed as bug? [14:28] I don't understand why 2,4Ghz is so slow ..it's not here, and there must be an underlying problem so i don't think 5Ghz will solve it [14:28] i am no wifi specialist. but there are some realy strange mainboard and hardware regulations from manufacturerers. so i would ask the kernel/wifi guys and if there is a known fix the describe/attach it to the bug, [14:29] hallo [14:29] true, hence why I'm trying to recompile the ath9k driver to make sure it's not some underlying problem with the driver itself - but I can;t get it to compile === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away === tj_ is now known as Guest78207 [14:33] Ubuntu connections manager shows 2.4GHz connection at 65Mb/s whereas speed is up to 300Mb === Guest78207 is now known as teeeeeeeeeeeeeee === teeeeeeeeeeeeeee is now known as teeeeeeeeeeeeeej [14:38] Hi everybody [14:38] there are no man? [14:39] no woman? [14:39] I am here [14:39] dupingping: this is the technical ubuntu support channel (and you know that) [14:39] yes. [14:39] https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-dock/files/?source=navbar [14:40] so is there a way to have crda respect the overridge? [14:40] It's a Dock in Ubuntu. It's very beautiful one.

I'm still able to access my local network (I can connect to my router) but I can't access anything else outside (ping google.com doesnt work). [14:46] ldiamond, how do you connect to the internet? [14:46] I actually have to reboot to fix it (sudo service networking restart fails to stop the service) [14:46] ldiamond, try sudo service network-manager restart [14:46] EriC^^: Wifi, I tried disconnecting and reconnecting, disabling my wifi with the hardware buttons and reenabling it [14:46] hi, just fresh install ubuntu 14.04.2 to my thinkpad x201 laptop. did dist-upgrade. there is no sound. any help please? thanks. [14:46] ldiamond, oh [14:47] 64bit [14:48] how do i remove channels from the side of my chat [14:48] Protoman, you mean leave a channel? [14:48] Protoman: right click, close [14:49] btw, pulseaudio is not installed. do I need it? [14:49] I cant right click im on a mac [14:49] Protoman, press ctrl+w [14:49] ( while in the channel ) [14:49] thanks eric [14:49] sgo11, yes. [14:50] Daekdroom, this is very weird. why it's not installed by default? [14:50] sgo11, did you see whether anything was removed during dist-upgrade? === x59 is now known as yud [14:51] It should be installed by default. [14:51] Daekdroom, I can't remember. I didn't check the output of dist-upgrade [14:51] what's the cleanest way to read the kernel system logs on ubuntu? [14:51] are there any disadvantages of running ubuntu on a virtual machine [14:51] sgo11, you could check /var/log/apt/history.log [14:51] Daekdroom, and I didn't test the audio before dist-upgrade. just did directly after the fresh install. so I have no idea. [14:52] hardtail, performance; you likely won't have accelerated 3D support. [14:52] TheBigDeal: all logs are in /var/log. The kernel one too [14:52] ok so probably best to install native on this laptop then [14:53] Squall5668: thanks [14:53] thanks Daekdroom [14:53] EriC^^, I checked history.log file and search the keyword pulseaudio. nothing there. I just installed pulseaudio. i think I need to reboot the system to see if the audio is working now or not. [14:53] sgo11, ok, give it a try [14:53] ok. brb. need to reboot. thanks. EriC^^ [14:58] EriC^^, Daekdroom Installed pulseaudio and rebooted. ps -ef shows pulseaudio is running. still no sound. [14:58] sgo11, is alsa installed too? [14:59] EriC^^, I can run alsamixer. and nothing is muted. [14:59] kll, I have an update (possibly call it a fix) [14:59] Quite why Google is riddled with poeple having the same issue and trying to fix 5GHz is a mystery [15:00] according to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath9k the Qualcomm Atheros card is single band only supporting 2.4GHz [15:00] EriC^^, worked now. I pressed the volumn up button on the keyboard. [15:00] AR9565 [15:00] sgo11, great! [15:01] EriC^^, I have no idea if I pressed the volume up physical button before installing pulseaudio, what will happen... [15:03] Bubba: well, i did not look up if that card can go 5ghz at all. you did call it 5ghz capable all the time [15:03] Understood kll :) there is one tweak to the tale 2.4GHz running slowly [15:04] sgo11, hmm [15:04] to resolv this 'sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf' and change [hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4] to read the following [hosts: files dns] === bastidra1or is now known as bastidrazor === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt === BOHverkill_ is now known as BOHverkill [15:28] Can anyone help me with a GRUB problem?

[17:10] idk what oneplus is, but I know my phone prefers MTP? is that the protocol? for reasons.

[17:17] pretodor: please pastebin the output od dmesg right after you plug in your phone. [17:17] philwong: did you install desktop or netbook [17:17] I can confirm that this issue only happens when starting in the KDE environment, in "Default" it will load perfect [17:18] desktop [17:19] winterchillz: what is your boot priority [17:19] philwong: plasma5 or kde4? [17:19] TheNumb, just a sec [17:19] rnat: boot priority? [17:19] I just used this command [17:19] winterchillz: in BIOS [17:19] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:19] 15.04 or 14.10? [17:19] Thats the version I downloaded [17:19] rnat: Unsure right now, the PC is at the office [17:19] or what version [17:19] 14.01 [17:20] philwong: there's no such version. [17:20] TheNumb: I think he means 14.10 [17:20] 14.04.2 or 14.04.2 [17:20] ? [17:20] what exactly did you type into /etc/default/grub [17:20] err [17:20] derp [17:20] sorry 14.04 [17:20] rnat: could it be happening because of the boot priority of the devices? Second, let me find an example config [17:20] 14.04.2 [17:20] is it a dual boot windows/ubuntu? [17:21] blue screen sounds like windowish [17:21] hey. i'm trying to get all the packages i need in order to correctly build from .deb files. however when i do `apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)` there's no matches. [17:21] I am runnin it in vmware [17:21] It works fine with ubuntus standard environment [17:22] well, it's just blue background screen, there's a Win 7 though. In grub config I changed 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' to text and uncommented the 'GRUB_TERMINAL=console' line. [17:22] its only with kde it shows a totaly black screen with only the mouse working [17:22] then I ran update-grub [17:22] danbower: did you run apt-get update first? what ubuntu release? are you using a kernel from official repositories?

[17:26] winterchillz: grub is a tiny atom bomb [17:26] philwong: sudo shutdown -r 1 [17:26] rnat: i've a problem with patching, the date is wrong [17:26] rnat: Yea, I guess you're right. No time to look for Win CD and try to rescue it, I'll just format it [17:26] thanks for your time [17:27] TheNumb, thank you. The askubuntu link did the trick.

[17:30] danbower: which kernel version? [17:30] Exagone313: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues try raising an issue here [17:30] oh, crouton [17:30] 3.10.18 [17:30] danbower: It's most likely a customized kernel. [17:30] danbower: what ubuntu are you on? [17:31] So you won't find the headers in the repo. [17:31] danbower, That's likely because the 3.10 series' long term current kernel is 3.10.70. [17:31] the install seemed to be pulling stuff from ubuntu repos [17:31] oh crouton. yes, that is best to ask the crouton guys [17:31] Hello, guys! === ubuntu is now known as Guest75337 [17:31] rnat: I think I can edit the fiels myself [17:31] `apt-get install linux-headers` does give back some stuff, just the versions are too high [17:31] shall i just try upgrade my kernel? sounds rather daunting [17:32] Exagone313: :) [17:32] danbower: it's probably using the kernel provided by chromeos [17:32] this thread didn't help me fixing my problem. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28099/how-to-restore-a-system-after-accidentally-removing-all-kernels [17:32] danbower: can you pastebin "cat /proc/version"? [17:33] Guest75337: that's more like an archlinux way of doing it [17:33] Guest75337: you can try netinstaller [17:34] rnat: the patch try to replace a regex, but it changed [17:34] rnat: what for? [17:34] TheNumb, http://hastebin.com/ayevujuquh.coffee [17:34] danbower: yup, it's using the chromeos kernel. [17:34] Guest75337: what didnt work with that solution?

Using 'sudo shutdown -r now' will reboot your system immediately [17:44] philwong: you used it to restart what? whole computer? a certain process?

Under options i see several GPU drivers, and in previous tries i ended up messing the whole system. Could anyone advice me which driver to choose : Right now selected "Using X.Org X server - AMD/ATI...", fglrx proprietary,fglrx-updates (proprietary. Which one is best,and could actually show my GPU info ? [18:38] I guess not... I am so sorry guys, I really don't think Ubuntu is for me, since I can't seem to every get anything right. I'm very sorry I wasted everyone's time here over the last week and a half.. I think I'm gonna have to go back to windows ::sigh:: again, I AM sorry.. Bye everyone.. [18:39] twiler - do you like learning? [18:39] How can I restore the default Xorg graphics driver on my ubuntu machine, if I really can't get it to boot without a black screen? Alternatively: Is there a method to backup my home folder? [18:39] !patience | twiler [18:39] twiler: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [18:39] ConanDaCimmerian, Yes, I love learning. [18:40] then why go back to m$? every question you have is a chance to help someone else down the road... [18:40] I have a stupid question to ask, but im just waiting === matthew is now known as Guest67051 [18:41] kostkon: I hear what you're saying, or what you're having the bot say.. but I always feel like I just don't get it, and, I'm afraid everyone is gonna think I'm retarded! [18:42] Everyone starts somewhere... [18:42] twiler: what ConanDaCimmerian said [18:42] twiler: you installed a 14.10 repo on to your 14.04. that is meant to break apart. [18:42] twiler: why don't you build itfromsource ? [18:42] twiler: And noone learned everything withing a week and half. [18:43] It is important to never forget where you came from. [18:43] Ubuntu and Linux can be tricky to get into and breaking it every now and then can happen === arun__ is now known as arunpyasi [18:43] twiler: so that is the same on windows 8 if you want to install stuff only made for windows95 [18:43] but don't feel discouraged, with time, everything starts to make sense :) [18:43] winterchillz: The same applies for other OS. [18:44] bekks: I guess you're right, I'm speaking from personal experience. Or maybe I'm disregarding the fact of how long it took me to get used to Windows since I was very young when I started using a PC [18:44] Last time I asked for help installing the eclipse IDE, this guy in here told me I should fu** off cause if was "too stupid to figure out the terminal, I was too stupid to EVER program an app.." === jcara_ is now known as jcara [18:45] there are always dicks on the internet [18:45] guys. can we focus on actual support again? [18:45] sadly. [18:46] I don't understand what "building it from source" even means [18:46] twiler: Again, I second ConanDaCimmerian opinion. Now, let's focus on support again and get that eclipse IDE installed if you still need it ;) [18:46] How would I setup a proxy server for the ps3? I can't find any tutorials on doing this. [18:47] LOL, thanks a lot, winterchillz! [18:47] i remember when installed code:block on slackware ... i spent 4 days [18:47] Codmadnesspro why do you need proxy server for the ps3(playstation 3 right?) if i may ask? [18:48] twiler: did you read the error messages you posted in the pastebin? do you understand them? [18:48] So i can use hulu [18:49] are there any adverse side effects of addign 'acpi=off apm=off' to the grub default entry? (This is for a headless server that is randomly dropping from the network) [18:49] *adding [18:49] ConanDaCimmerian: Yes, you will not be able to use ACPI features. [18:50] Is that an issue? or I just want a server that doesnt drop off my network lol. Im not to worried about power management yet [18:51] Since I can't use a vpn on the ps3 I need a proxy server setup [18:51] ConanDaCimmerian: And do you know its related to ACPI, when it drops networking? [18:51] Not at all [18:51] my guess is it goes to sleep, but it is headless, so im not 100% sure [18:52] ConanDaCimmerian: Is it a VPS? [18:52] nope, old standalone machine [18:54] ConanDaCimmerian: So just take a look at the logs. [18:57] any one in particular? just /var/log/syslog ? [19:00] Greetings [19:01] I've a problem - I logged into xubuntu shell and cant see my mouse to logoff and switch shells - cant open terminal either [19:03] any way to force boot into gnome shell? [19:04] ctrl alt backspace? [19:04] ctrl alt backspace? [19:04] it should log out out of x [19:04] clint_, press ctrl+alt+f1 and type sudo service lightdm restart [19:05] clint_, or sudo service gdm restart [19:05] Hello everyone!

[19:06] winterchillz Thank you, but I can speak English :) [19:06] Is there anyway to get rid of Unity, once I have installed Lxde? [19:07] Alright :) Just wanted to make sure you're feeling comfortable [19:07] Knight80: Just uninstall it. [19:07] Knight80, logout. choose lxde. login [19:07] winterchillz Thank you very much [19:07] :) [19:08] bekks Yes, but... Will my computer stop working without Unity, which is the default desktop environment? [19:08] I'm with Ubuntu 14.10 [19:08] Knight80, no it will not stop working [19:09] thank you [19:09] ;) [19:09] Knight80, BUT if you truly prefer lxde, consider installing lubuntu [19:09] cfhowlett I will, thanks again [19:09] Knight80, happy2help [19:12] Hello, does anyone know how to use initmkramfs and kvm to boot custom kernels in VM on ubuntu? [19:24] Hello. [19:25] Hey guys, does anyone here use a ps2 emulator that would be willing to walk me through setting it up? [19:26] I have downloaded the files, but, sadly I cannot seem to run it! [19:27] Hello, Mr_Hales, what's up? [19:27] I am thinking about getting a pair of HP Pavilion 23xt's for my kids as a decent, entry-level computer. The problem I am having is that, according to Ubuntu.com, these computers come pre-installed with Ubuntu in some regions of which the United States is apparently not one. This pre-install is evidentally a special mix of Ubuntu developed by HP but I can't locate the image for that version of Ubuntu and HP support is less than he [19:27] lpful. Refers to installing Ubuntu as a downgrade, for instance. [19:27] Hi, twiler. [19:27] Anybody know where I might be able to get my hands on the image HP uses for the Pavilion 23? [19:28] I am worried that a vanilla install may not work out of the box, as it were. [19:28] Mr_Hales, gotta ask HP but the image may not be so exclusively customized [19:29] Mr_Hales, for instance, I just bought a precision dell m3800 and with UBUNTU oem. I installed ubuntustudio, added the nvidia driver and everything works fine [19:29] LOL, dude, if they come pre-installed with windows 8 (or 8.1), it invovles entering the bios and changing the boot sequence, and altering spmething called the EEFI, which is a pain in the butt! [19:29] ubuntu works with eufi [19:29] Windows 8 uses ASICs to assist it in booting up. [19:30] I know that, wlodpolm, I'm running ubuntu on a toshiba windows 8 laptop right now. [19:30] hi guys I need help with firefox in ubuntu accutaly. My facebook experience is just hell with that browser firefox is really slow even if I tried to disable plugins what should I do ( Google chrome doesn't rendering correctly and opera has the same problem either ) [19:30] I don't mind the idea of exploring UEFI. Never done so before but I don't imagine it can be too terribly difficult. [19:30] I'm just lettin Mr_Hales know that its' a pain in the a$$ [19:30] What's EEFI? [19:31] Mr_Hales, for sanity sake, spend some time tracking down the ubuntu/linux product manager at HP. [19:31] !uefi | Mr_Hales [19:31] Mr_Hales: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:32] It's a windwS 8 THING, dude: [19:32] http://anewdomain.net/2013/07/23/windows-8-safe-secure-boot-and-eufi-deep-dive-how-it-works/ [19:32] twiler: UEFI dual boot for me was simple, go into bios, disable secure boot, install Ubuntu alongside windows, nothing else to do [19:32] Check that out, and then you'll understand what I'm talking about! [19:33] Yeah, Djones, it's not very complicated, it's just a littel bit different than it used to be, is all [19:33] i didn't even have to go in my bios of course i immediately made a restore image of win8 then wiped and installed linux [19:33] twiler, uefi isn't hard or anything, it's just that some manufacturers make it very hard to install non-windows os as the primary os [19:34] Ubuntu is playing sounds through both my speakers and headphones when I have the headphones plugged in. This just started happening today and I'm not sure why. I tried restarting my computer and it still happens. I have not made any recent changes. Any help? [19:34] twiler, hp and toshiba have some products that make it harder, afaict [19:34] Djones: That's exactly what I was tring to warn Mr_Hanes about, sakme to you , EriC^^ [19:34] same to you* [19:34] hi guys [19:34] * tnkhanh waves hand [19:35] Hey, tnkhanh! sup? [19:35] twiler, it's still pretty ok [19:36] EriC^^: Does this message appear red to you? [19:36] yeah [19:37] OK, that's good. Does this one ,too? EriC^^ [19:37] yeah [19:37] Which is the Ubuntu log file that contains the information about failed sudo authentication and users that used 'sudo'? I can't see /var/log/secure on my system [19:38] winterchillz, auth.log [19:38] thank you EriC^^ [19:38] syslog ? [19:39] Awesome, dude, EriC^^, so as long as your screen name appear somewhere in the text, it alerts you! Now we hve to see if it works on multiple people, Tinkanh, and winterchillz! Does this nessaqge appear red to you guys as well. [19:39] twiler: enough [19:39] twiler: this channel is not for you to test your IRC client - people use different clients so will see different things, [19:40] ioria: the sudo actions are within auth.log, I failed to see them within syslog, thanks though [19:41] ikonia: I don't particularly care about that. No one is being bothered by my testing it out, except you, who apparently just sit there and wait for somebody to commit some arbitrary infraction so that you may "scold" or "discipline" them, ok? [19:41] twiler: please don't do it and there will be no problem. Thanks. [19:42] So, can anyone help me with installing an emulator for PS2? [19:42] you want to install a PS2 emmulator on ubuntu ? [19:42] ikonia: Roger that. 10-4. [19:42] Yeah, ikonia, why> [19:42] Is that gonna be difficult? [19:43] there are a couple in the repos, I know they have various experiences for different people [19:43] eg: they are game specific how well they work [19:43] have a look in the package manager and see which ones are availble first [19:43] I think there are 2 from memory [19:43] From what I am seeing, and I could be mistaken, installing Ubuntu actually looks pretty straightforward. Turn off Secure Boot, change boot order I'm sure so I can boot from the install DVD. Turn off FastBoot and SRT and the rest is fairly automagic from what I can see. Has anyone here installed vanilla Ubuntu on any of the HP All-in-Ones lately and could provide further information about gotchas I should be aware of? [19:44] twiler, I am bothered too by you peace of shit. [19:44] Ok, ikonia, could you help me install them, or point ne to someone who can? [19:44] css: that is unacceptable [19:44] css, no need for profanity. stop. [19:44] css: pleae do not name call or use bad langage in here [19:44] css: what?? [19:44] twiler: ignore him - it won't happen again [19:44] ok. [19:45] twiler: open the package manager and search for PS2 - see what packages are offered [19:45] I am actually botherd more about the misspelling of piece. [19:45] bothered* [19:45] let's just drop it [19:45] How do you know it won't happen again? [19:45] twiler: focus on your question please, [19:45] he's left the channel [19:45] ok... [19:45] I apologize.. I just got my feelings hurt, is all. [19:46] Like, why would he say that to me? [19:46] twiler: PCSX2 but I have never used it http://www.noobslab.com/2013/01/install-ps2-emulator-in-ubuntu.html [19:46] twiler: ignore it please [19:46] What did I do to him? [19:46] twiler: IGNORE IT, some people just want to cause trouble [19:47] TPoJ, thanks for the advice [19:47] twiler: focus on what ikonia & TPoJ are saying [19:47] So, what is the best one? [19:47] I plan on having my kids do all of the installation themselves. It will be a good experience for them and I think it will increase their confidence with computers knowing that, no matter what they do to the system, they can simply reinstall the operating system if it comes to that. Other than the guide on UEFI I am currently reading, is there any advice about HP's version where I might need more specific instructions? [19:47] do you guys use ? https://fixubuntu.com/ [19:47] twiler: personally I don't think any are good [19:47] Would you guys recmmend? [19:47] arcsky: no, not at all [19:47] Really? [19:48] arcsky: it's a nonsense website, [19:48] Why not, ikonia? [19:48] twiler: I think they are poor and have lots of problems and variations depending on games/hardware [19:48] Mr_Hales, i've no idea about installing on the all-in-ones, but i've an hp laptop and i've seen a few others where after you install ubuntu you will still boot to windows directly, you'll have to press esc and choose boot options and select ubuntu [19:49] oh ok, well despite that, could you still walk me through installng one? [19:49] I won't be dual-booting. I have religious issues with Microsoft. [19:49] twiler: a.) check in the package manager b.) read the link you where given [19:49] twiler: do you know how to use the package manager ? [19:49] Mr_Hales, the reason is that the bios is hard coded to only boot windows efi files, so what you'll need to do if that happens is rename the grub efi files ( shimx64.efi ) as the windows efi file and delete the entry from the efibootmgr [19:49] ikonia, I'd greetly appreciate any help you provide me! [19:49] Mr_Hales, in that case, ignore the above [19:49] No, I don't ikonia [19:49] twiler: do you know how to use the package manager ? [19:50] twiler: ok, https://help.ubuntu.com I suggest you read through this and learn the basics of how to use the ubuntu system [19:50] twiler: that link includes how to use the package manager to install software [19:50] ikonia, I've never used it before, to the best of my recollection, which, I admit isn't that great! [19:50] So the renaming info I don't need then, yes? [19:50] Mr_Hales, if it doesn't boot, which is highly unlikely, it could be cause some uefi need efi/Boot/bootx64.efi to be present, it won't come to that though, i dont think [19:50] OK, ikonia ,thanks [19:51] Okay, great. Thanks! [19:51] I am reading it right now! [19:52] Bye, all. :-) [19:52] Does it include things like why certain files are "executable" just like in windows, and why certain other ones can only be started by "cd\ "-ing into their directory, followed by ./program_name?? [19:52] twiler: rad it [19:52] ikonia: what is that about? [19:53] read [19:53] Later on, Mr_Hales! [19:53] arcsky: it's nonsense [19:53] Yes, ikonia, what is that crap about restoring your privacy no arcsky's post? [19:54] twiler: read the link I've given you [19:54] ikonia: hehe ok [19:54] twiler: ignore the stupid link [19:54] I don't want peeple being able to spy on me! [19:54] twiler: they can't [19:54] OK, but, ikonia, how do you know that it's bull$hit?

[20:01] !md5 [20:01] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:04] ikonia: Do you forgive me? bazhang: it is ok to apologize to someone here, dude it's totally appropriate to do so, and doesn't / shouldn't warrant an invitation to an entirely different room just to say "Im sorry", dude, ok? And, while I'm at it, you need to chill out and stop being so strict about whether or not something qualifies as a "social conversation", dude, ok? Jut chill out, and relax a little bit, boss, I'm not hurting anyone [20:04] or anything here. [20:10] EriC^^, I checked and the checksum thing is the same [20:11] mcaustin1, you could try booting using nomodeset , who knows === kde is now known as Guest75492 [20:12] EriC^^, I dont know much about this can you private message me and help me [20:12] !nomodeset [20:12] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:13] mcaustin1, ^ [20:13] mcaustin1, hold shift when the pc boots and if you get a screen with a menu press f6 and choose nomodeset , if you get a purple screen called grub follow the above ^ [20:18] EriC^^, when I boot up it is just a black and white screen with 4 options, Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu, OEM Install, and check Disk [20:19] mcaustin1, try pressing f6 [20:19] @EriC^^, It does nothing [20:20] is there anything at the bottom? [20:20] I have an ubuntu instance running on a Hyper-V server. So far everything works. I resize the VHD from 10 to 30Gb, but df -h still shows 10Gb. [20:20] Is that an ubuntu issue, or Hyper-V ? [20:20] Is there a way to SSH to an Ubuntu box using only one IP - whether local or remotely? When local, I access with user@192.168.*.*. Remotely, I access it with user@69.87.*.*. How to access with only IP? [20:21] .l [20:21] locoloco: you can't [20:21] they are two different networks [20:22] ikonia: I figured as much. No way of piping the local IP to a public IP or something like that? [20:22] locoloco: thats 2 different IP's then [20:23] locoloco: not easily [20:23] locoloco: why does it matter? [20:23] ikonia: How about trying to get to the public IP when I'm on a local network? [20:23] hi guys.. am trying to setup ACL for my openldap installation but am having some problems .. I would like some ldap users to be have write entries on everything under a specified ou however when I try to make modification as said user in this case dhcpuser and pykotaadmin I get an error saying insufficient access to parent [20:24] locoloco: if you can route to it fine, but I suspect this is a home setup, so you won't be able to [20:24] EriC^^, It does nothing [20:24] here is my olcAccess.ldiff http://paste.ubuntu.com/10484117/ [20:24] meganerd: lazy, I guess. Simply trying to find a way to access the share using only one IP. [20:24] locoloco: that would be outside the network, the router may or (usually) has issues routing that back in. NAT is ugly [20:24] mcaustin1, is there any info at the bottom of the screen? try pressing esc too [20:25] locoloco: I use DNS. I also use IPv6 so there is only 1 IP [20:25] locoloco: have a look at sixxs.net [20:26] meganerd: sixxs.net, okay, I'll take a look. Thanks! [20:26] locoloco: You could write a script t (or bash function) o check your NIC to see if you are located on the same network and if so to SSH to the RFC1918 space address, or if not then to use the external address. === JeDaYoshi_ is now known as Guest12174 [20:26] locoloco: unless your ISP has IPv6 natively. You would want to use that instead [20:26] python django [20:27] EriC^^, It says just move the arrow keys to change which entry is highlighted and also it says press enter to boot the selected OS then it has two things about e to edit the command and c for command line then press esc to return to previous menu [20:27] It wouldn't be pretty but it could work for what you want... or just use IPv6 as suggested. either Sixxs or Hurricane Electric can do that for you. [20:27] meganard: IPv6 is out, sadly. Thanks though! [20:27] locoloco: if this is for ssh, just create entries in your ~/.ssh/config, one for host-local and host-remote, then you just type "ssh host-local" or "ssh host-remote" [20:28] mcaustin1, ok, press e and go to the line with Linux vmlinuz ... quiet splash , and add nomodeset at the end [20:28] lasko: great suggestion! Thanks! [20:28] mcaustin1, then press ctrl+x === ideopathic_ is now known as ideopathic [20:29] On a server, I have a few directories with user-uploaded content. How can I prevent users from executing PHP (etc.) files in the scenario they managed to upload one? [20:29] Ok the screen just went black again, EriC^^ [20:29] locoloco: no problem. If you need help let me know. I might be able to provide some assistance [20:30] mcaustin1, did you press try ubuntu before? [20:30] meganerd: I figured I could edit entries to make the connections more easily accessed but pref wanted to find a way to access it with just one IP (regardless of location). [20:30] Yes [20:30] mcaustin1, ok, did you edit try ubuntu right now? [20:31] No [20:31] mcaustin1, btw does try ubuntu usually work? [20:31] EriC^^, nope [20:34] mcaustin1, did you disable fastboot? [20:34] and disable secureboot? [20:34] I disabled secureboot [20:34] Not fastboot [20:35] Here is my issue, gentlemen: I don't know where to go, or how to insall eithe of the two playstation emulators; I have downloaded and extracted pcx2-1.2.2 but, after that is done, and I enter the folder, and double click the icon for pcsx2 ,nothing happens at qalll, and yes, I have checked the box that says allow this file to be executed as a progam or whaever it says; (I may not be repeating it verbatim, is all I mean..) So, coule someo [20:35] ne help me out here? Thanks in advanc3, even if you just took the time to read this!! [20:35] mcaustin1, do you have fastboot? [20:35] EriC^^, I dont know [20:36] mcaustin1, check your bios, turn it off if you find it [20:36] locoloco: no problem. If you need help let me know. I might be able to provide some assistance [20:36] oops [20:36] stupid uparrows lol [20:37] Sunday - 21:36 - ipmi not working, - Datacenter - wonderful [20:37] Turn fastboot off you said? EriC^^ [20:37] mcaustin1, correct [20:37] EriC^^, It was already disabled but I'll disable it again [20:37] mcaustin1, wait, [20:38] mcaustin1, try to enable secure boot [20:38] EriC^^, ok [20:38] twiler, normally you would browse in terminal to that location and execute it, or use the pcsx2 ppa > https://launchpad.net/~gregory-hainaut/+archive/ubuntu/pcsx2.official.ppa [20:39] EriC^^, Didnt even boot to the usb just a boot failure [20:40] OK OerHeks, so what do I type to execute it? ./Program [20:40] ?? [20:40] twiler, i don't know, depends on that the startprogram is, a .py script, .sh shell script? [20:41] chmod +x Program && ./Program [20:42] I have installed ubuntu server, and I'm facing a problem is how to set the DNS for local use? [20:42] can someone share me, what he knows? [20:43] game0, do you have BIND installed and running? [20:44] I think I have install it [20:44] game0: Just use dnsmasq [20:44] You dont need bind for local usage. [20:44] can you tell me the steps? [20:44] i was gonna say if its local only i'd just edit /etc/hosts XD [20:44] cause I'm new [20:44] mcaustin1, how did you make the usb? [20:45] EriC^^, Downloaded the ISO from Ubuntu then burned it to my USB [20:45] game0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq [20:45] mcaustin1, using unetbootin ? [20:46] mcaustin1, lili? [20:46] EriC^^, No [20:46] game0: That link will describe to you how to setup a local DNS cache server using dnsmasq [20:46] cause I'm getting in some program domain_name is required [20:46] EriC^^, Should I use it? [20:46] locoloco: really the way to solve this is either with IPv6 or DNS (well DNS makes IPv6 so much nicer to work with). With DNS you want to look at split horizon. [20:46] what does that mean? [20:46] mcaustin1, lili is good [20:47] EriC^^, Ok [20:47] game0: It means its looking for a domain name (FQDN) os some kind I would imagine. [20:48] of* [20:48] does it need dnsmasq? [20:48] lasko: or it can solved [20:48] game0: What program are you running thats giving you that message? [20:49] alfresco ECM [20:49] https://github.com/marsbard/puppet-alfresco [20:49] lasko:https://github.com/marsbard/puppet-alfresco [20:50] :) [20:50] lasko: I'm trying to test the script on ubuntu [20:50] game0: I've never used it but based on the parameters in the README -- domain_name is is a required value to install. So its looking for a FQDN. Put one in and it'll work. [20:51] Does your server have a FQDN? or are you doing everything by IP? [20:51] lasko: whats FQDN? [20:51] fqdn said. [20:51] You might be able to hack it by just putting an entry into /etc/hosts to resolve that IP to a nonexistant domain. FQDN (fully qualified domain name) [20:51] game0: you need to pass domain_name to class alfresco [20:52] OK, I'm confused a little [20:52] can you tell me in very clear way [20:53] you get this error from puppet ? [20:53] sorry in a very clear way [20:53] yes [20:53] when I run ./install.sh [20:53] oh [20:53] it gives me domain_name is required [20:53] so I don't know what does that mean [20:53] ? [20:54] i'm reading for code, to help you [20:54] cause this is the first time that I have worked with linux as servers, I passed the exam on EDX [20:54] and I took the certificate [20:55] ok, you need to install puppet on your server ? [20:56] yes [20:57] dayten :I eneed to install this puppet on my server and test it there [20:57] game0: try to set domainname with `domainname $mydomainname` [20:57] OerHeks: I have a launch_pcsx2_linux.sh, is that what we're looking for. [20:57] ? [20:58] ok [20:59] dayten still the same problem [20:59] game0: when you run install.sh, can you set 1 parameter ? [21:00] hi i just installed ubuntu, in sound settings it lists my sound card and it acts like it is playing music, but no sound is coming out === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [21:00] OK, it worked [21:01] supsup: have you tried the other options, if there are any? [21:01] dayten: OK, it worked [21:01] fine! [21:01] ThePendulum only other options are my nvidia graphics card [21:01] thanks, when I pressed one it worked, cause it's showing me here I letter [21:01] when nothin is helping, read documentation ) [21:02] OK, tell me I have a laptop and I need to access the application from my laptop [21:02] on the same network [21:02] how can I configure that ? [21:04] Is the application a commandline app, web service, or something else? [21:05] Sorry I crashed if anyone said anything about my sound issue [21:06] in sound settings there is Profile settings, does it matter which one I choose? I'm choosing Digital Stereo.

[21:06] dayten: nothing happens [21:07] i mean it's doing the test [21:07] but i don't hear anything [21:07] without errors? [21:07] dayte: 0 [21:08] do you see your card in aplay -l output? [21:08] did your check volume, mute switcher ? [21:08] dayten: it seems like it is even working I can see the sound moving in the System sounds, but i hear nothing [21:10] supsup: is connection sound card <-> speakers/headphones correct ? [21:10] can't get ping working between Ubuntu PC and MacBook. both hooked up to same router. [21:10] i think so [21:11] noping: can you ping other hosts ? [21:11] what latency offset should be? [21:11] dayten: yes. the MacBook can ping gnu.org, for example [21:11] nm i got it to work i had to choose Analog Stero Output [21:11] I'll try the ubuntu machine now [21:12] supsup: good ) [21:12] why does digital not work? [21:12] noping: is there any rules in sudo iptables-save output ? [21:12] Does anyone know how to disallow, say, PHP files from being executed in a directory, but allowing files to be viewed/read?

[21:16] I'm not sure how to set -x for files within a directory, even ones that don't exist yet, but not for the directory itself [21:17] SchrodingersScat: I want to change it for any file that will exist within a directory [21:19] Whatup [21:21] anyone know how can I enable GTK menu icons (actually Eclipse) on 14.10, Unity [21:23] gtk menu icons ?

Example image: http://i.imgur.com/kYgiS6V.jpg [21:24] wonder if menuproxy is at fault [21:24] j1398: any question regarding images that starts with "is there some kind of software that can do..." ususally ends up with the answer... imagemagick =) [21:25] j1398: it's a bit of a learning curve but there is little it can't do when it comes to images [21:30] So it's a better choice than gimp? [21:31] j1398: different goals.. imagemagick is a console app.. Gimp can do it as well but for something like putting a watermark on thousands of images or automatic handling of stuff for a webserver imagemagick might be better [21:32] j1398: this link, http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/ , has some info on adding text to images .. see if it suits your purposes [21:33] ikonia: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/23116/how-to-fix-missing-icons-in-program-menus-and-context-menus/ <- the first answer does what I wanted (along with UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0) === ninedragon is now known as fourdragon [21:35] When I use OpenVPN with Ubuntu my IPv6 address is exposed.

When I open a site that shows my external IPv4 and IPv6 it shows the IPv4 from OpenVPN and local IPv6 [21:41] ma11: what sort of site ? [21:41] ma11: you need to be specific as you're not making much sense until you do [21:42] ma11: Its likely that youen instance of OpenVPN doesn't have IPv6 support configured properly in which case your IPv6 traffic wont go across the tunnel. [21:42] your* === Deithrian__ is now known as Deithrian [21:43] ikonia: a site that shows your external IP addresses, like this one http://ip6tools.com/check_client.php [21:44] ma11: Do you have "proto udp6" setup in the configurations on both sides of the tunnel? [21:44] why /media/sf_%1 doesn't work in a config file for /media/sf_sharedfolder ? [21:44] lasko: thank you. Do you know how I can disable IPv6 altogether? I'm afraid my provider IPv6 will still show, regardless openvpn settings [21:45] ma11: so there are many reasons for this, 1.) you are not routing traffic down the VPN for the browser 2.) your openvpn setup is wrong so it's tunneling the internal IPv6 over ipv4, [21:45] those are the most likley [21:45] ma11: pastebin.com/ix805vMR [21:46] ma11: http://pastebin.com/ix805vMR [21:46] thank you lasko and ikonia [21:46] ma11: make those changes in your sysctl.conf [21:46] then you'll need to reboot or sudo sysctl -p [21:47] Honestly though, I would suggest just fixing your OpenVPN configuration because thats what it sounds like the problem is. [21:47] lasko: this might disconnect me from the internet altogether, since I only get a IPv6 address from my provider. IPv4 is carrier grade NAT [21:48] lasko: is your nickname related to the beer?

[23:00] its version 4.3.18 [23:00] Kubuntu [23:01] odd thing is, I remember seeing that mention to hit the right control to release the control of the vm [23:01] Hmm, not sure then. They may have changed it recently I dunno. Been a while since I've used Vbox but I remember that being an option somewhere [23:03] ill keep looking for it [23:03] VolUTFan: Sorry, didn't follow the conversation; Did you try the Host key + F1 | lasko [23:04] winterchillz: yes [23:04] I see. Sorry [23:05] noob23: if you open a terminal and type alsamixer do you see proper volume levels for the selected sound card? [23:06] VolUTFan: Have you installed the guest additions services? [23:07] I think thats what its called. [23:07] i thought I did. I was in the iso, and ran the command, and it looked like it did. Problem I am having is a botched upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10, and I am having to go to the command line to try and correct it [23:08] when I log in right now in X, i have no control over the screen, top menu bars missing, can't type in konsole, etc [23:08] I just can not get sendmail to sto [23:08] hmm [23:08] stop* [23:08] I've tried sudo service sendmail stop [23:08] sudo /etc/init.d/sendmail stop [23:09] Nothing [23:09] you could just go into a terminal and sudo service gdm stop ? [23:09] replacing whatever manager you use. [23:09] It's conflicting with postfix and I want it GONE [23:10] I've even tried apt-get purge'ing it [23:10] what makes you say it's still running? :) [23:10] sudo service --status-all [23:10] VolUTFan: Or just reboot the machine and boot into textmode [23:10] lasko, I found the autocapture keyboard and it was already ticked [23:11] !text VolUTFan [23:11] AudaxNovus: have you confirmed via PID? [23:11] or log [23:11] dafty how might I go about doing either of those things [23:11] was a link supposed to pop up from the !text command? [23:11] AudaxNovus: "ps -ef" [23:12] Okay one sec [23:12] One sec [23:12] throw it in a pastebin [23:12] VolUTFan: I'll find it [23:12] or run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ps -ef | pastebinit" [23:12] is there a key i can press during boot to force it into text mode? [23:13] yes left shift [23:13] VolUTFan: add the text parameter in grub [23:13] VolUTFan: Right well I can't find the link but just reboot and change the boot line in grub to have "text" (without quotes" at the end [23:13] then edit the boot line to read 'text' next to 'quite splash' [23:13] !text | VolUTFan [23:13] VolUTFan: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [23:13] *quiet [23:13] ooh factoid \o/ [23:13] k1l: Thank you.

[23:14] thanks lasko let me try that [23:14] paste.ubuntu.com/10494178/ [23:14] VolUTFan: no problem. [23:15] AudaxNovus: so i see postfix but no sendmail === pedzed is now known as ped [23:17] Okay [23:18] Because when I do sudo postfix start [23:18] It gives me an error [23:18] And according to AskUbuntu daftykins it's because sendmail is running [23:19] you mean 'sudo service postfix start' ? [23:19] Noo, postfix actually has a command [23:19] can we see a pastebin of the error? [23:19] I've tried that too and it says it starts but when I do the postfix one it says it doesn't [23:20] ok well this is where system logs come in handy [23:20] is it fair to say you're new to server admin? [23:20] i think my vm is completely botched up lol. good thing its just a test box, and that I have a snapshot [23:20] text mode didn't work. [23:20] define didn't work? [23:20] oh well, could be worse [23:22] that's true, when VMs start tying your shoelaces together, that's when it's time to be worried.
