daftykinsBergcube: i suppose, but undernet support would seem more relevant00:00
mntmseikonia:  I'm gettin the "missing operating system" message...   i'm guessing this is something to do with my partiions?00:00
mntmseor maybe a boot loader issue?00:00
ikoniamntmse: that means it's booting a partition with nothing to boot00:00
=== fnord is now known as CrazyEddy
Bergcubedaftykins, Sure.  But they don't have a channel here that I can find.  And getting ON undernet is the first step to get the help channel there.00:01
daftykinsnot if they have a website00:01
daftykinsnaturally i had already thought of that ;)00:02
mntmseikonia:  what do you think is the best way to fix?00:02
ikoniamntmse: install a supported version00:02
ikoniathat would be the first thing00:02
mntmseok i will do this00:02
Bergcubedaftykins, They probably do!  But you know...  Inertia...  :-D00:02
ikoniaBergcube: how we "fix" undernet ?00:03
daftykinshmm nope don't follow you there.00:03
ikoniaor how do you expect us to ?00:03
mntmseikonia:  do you think i need to make that swap partition bigger?00:03
ikoniathe logical thing to do would be to engage with undernet and get the correct settings for your client after verifying the network is up00:03
ikoniamntmse: that seems a random question considering I don't know how big you set it00:03
Bergcubeikonia, I do not expect anything.  I am asking for help in case it's in my Ubuntu setup or in the ubuntu provided package.00:03
mntmseikonia:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10508238/00:03
ikoniamntmse: that seems a pointless swap partition size00:04
ikonia133mb is worthless00:04
mntmsei know i made it by mistake00:04
mntmsei dont know what i was thinking to be honest00:04
mntmsei should make it 4 gig?00:04
ikoniayou're re-installing, so fix it00:04
daftykinsBergcube: also - http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php google is wonderful \o/00:05
mntmsedo i need to change anything with the bootloader?00:05
mntmsei'm using rEFInd00:05
Lovichwhat is the linux equivalent of installing a program and having it be contextual with right clicking in windows00:05
ikoniamntmse: the installer will put the bootloader on00:07
mntmseok thanks00:07
mntmsei will try this tomorrow00:07
mntmsebut i just leave rEFInd on my computer?00:07
Bergcubedaftykins, Thanks.  I do know how to google.  I was there, and the web client timed out without connecting every time.  I would not have been here asking if something as rudimentary as that had worked.  I cannot see that I have been rude or impolite.  I do not feel I have deserved tongue in cheek humour that isn't funny.00:08

nrdbI am booting a VM from nfs ... it is working find :-) .... I purge grub as it wasn't needed and was interfering with updates ... but now whenever I do a 'apt-get dist-upgrade' it want to reinstall grub .... :-( .... how do I stop this?00:14
daftykinsBergcube: it's... not meant to be humour at all.00:15
bekksnrdb: grub shouldnt be interfering with updates at all, unless you are using third party package sources.00:15
nrdbbekks, yes it does... it keeps asking on what device to install itself on.00:16
bekksnrdb: So you are booting a diskless vm?00:16
nrdbnrdb, yes ... via nfs00:17
Bergcubedaftykins, Then the content of the Ubuntu code of conduct must be quite different from what I had the impression it is.  I must have missed the part about trying to ridicule or humiliate those that come looking for help.00:17
daftykinsi promise you, you're getting that yourself00:18

bekksmaddawg2: In detail: specifying the leading 0, you UNSET the special modes described in the link above00:23
nrdbbekks, oh ... I see small but potentially important difference.00:25
k1lBubuntu: it depends on the error you get with that usb drive00:25
k1lbut since usb keys dont have the best storage chips in most cases there is a chance its just gone00:26

maddawg2i know this isn't a vmware channel but i kind of have a ubuntu question....  i increased the size of my drive in vmware esxi and it's placed unallocated space after my Swap partition which is in EXTENDED format and i want to resize my / partition to include the unallocated00:37
bekksmuscles: apt-get hold should do the job.00:38
maddawg2is it safe to delete the swap partition and increase the space00:38
maddawg2then recreate it?00:38

Night_girlLet's see it works fine, I'm able to connect I get an IP address etc this is an easy one. Last time it was cause Firefox came wit an option. To use systems proxy so I just disabled it and said no procy00:39
maddawg2bekks good to know00:40
maddawg2thanks00:40
Night_girlSo I do not know why is not working this time :(00:40
maddawg2so if i just delete the extended then expand my drive and turn swap back on I wont need to change anything00:40

bekks!upstart | j_t00:49
ubottuj_t: 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/00:49
j_tbekks: Does that mean you don't know the answer?00:50

LoshkiTerryC: I'm still on 12.04.4 because it's solid as a rock.01:31

eikon81gAnyone have time to help with a bluetooth issue?01:51
eikon81g I looked into it a bit and it seems like it may be a bug in xubuntu but I saw some possible fixes regarding edits to audio.conf01:51
eikon81gI get the error: Connection Failed: Stream setup failed after adding the device (JBL Pulse BT Speaker) and trying to use audio sink01:52
locsmifeikon81g: for what it's worth: using regular Ubuntu, I was able to connect and use bluetooth speakers which didn't work under Win 701:52
locsmifI'm a bit of an audio guy. But what is audio sink/01:53
eikon81gwell that's hopeful lol, It's odd because the adapter is present and funtioning but for whatever reason the bluetooth manager won't allow the stream to initialize01:53
muscleslocsmif, people will probably correct me, but i believe it is just an audio output01:53
eikon81gbasically after pairing the speaker you select the audio sink for that device and the audio will output through the selected device01:54
locsmifeikon81g: when you say stream, are you just trying to play a wav or an mp3?01:54
eikon81gwell it is before you can get to that it has to pair successfully before any audio could output01:55
locsmifeikon81g: I have to add that I had to fiddle like ten times with some on/off switch in the configuration before I got it working.01:55
voyceybekks: Docker is indeed a thing :)01:55
locsmifeikon81g: so pairing does work, or?01:55
eikon81gmy adapter is enabled and sees the bluetooth device I am trying to pair to it just fails01:55
locsmifok01:55
eikon81git does, I can "trust" the device and I use the 0000 pin to connect it01:56
locsmifHmm, I never had to enter a pin code01:56
eikon81gbut once I set it to "Audio Sync" to use it as an output device it gives me the error01:56
eikon81gmost devices no longer need the pin but if it does ask 0000 is generally universal01:56
eikon81g**"Audio Sink"01:57
TerryCSo, thisis kinda weird, but it seems my problem was being caused because bios was reporting that I had a 1.44mb floppy drive, but I don't because... well, because. who uses those anymore. But ubuntu server was repeatedly trying to mount it and failing over and over, causing delays and errors in dmesg.01:57

Sientelocsmif, MD5 Check Sums are the same so the iso file is okay02:18
locsmifSiente: but the errors reported are on your harddisk, right? Not on your USB device... that you aren't scanning, you said.02:19
locsmifOr implied, rather.02:19
locsmifhardtail: from what I can tell i8042 is an old keyboard controller not in use anymore02:20
locsmifWhat does this have to do with hdd encryption?02:20

locsmifhardtail: are you installing to a Macbook Pro?02:26
hardtailyes locsmif, I found another article saying to try with 'nomodeset' so I will go try this02:26
hardtailI will brb02:27
Sientelocsmif, I am able to install the OS I mean here https://www.howtoforge.com/images/ubuntu_14.10_utopic_unicorn_minimal_server/2.png when I choose Check disc for defects02:27
SienteIt's saying errors found in 2 files02:28
locsmifSiente: I understand. Have you read the link I posted and the responses?02:30
Sientelocsmif, but he's not able to install the OS there?02:33
locsmifSiente: that's not what I'm reading :)02:33
locsmifThey're seeing file name cut-off based errors, they're proposing workarounds, and they've also tried other means of installing to USB, which worked02:34
Sientelocsmif, ah okay02:35
hardtailLocsmif it worked with nomodeset. I am now in the installer and when I select my free space it tells me not root file system defined please correct this from the partitioning menu02:36
voyceyis there a way to see what repository was used to install something in ubuntu?02:38
locsmifhardtail: nomodeset relates to graphical mode settings of your video card. So it appears your latest problem was caused by interoperability problems with your onboard video card. As for the problem you're having now: it seems you need to partition your harddisk before installing.02:38
eikon81gbluetooth fail. LOL I think I will end up just scrapping blueman and using pulse audio but I already know it will mess up my hardkeys for the vlume up down and mute on this machine02:39

hardtailLocsmif makes sense. How can I go about partitioning the free space, must it be done outside the installer?  It only allows me to modify my os x partition02:40
aeon-ltdshamaan: do you have a support question?02:41

locsmifhardtail: you're going for dual boot?02:44
TerryCwhen i tried to bring up one of my ethernet interfaces, I got a "leaking memory" error... downloading the drivers now, but still, that seems a tadbit bad.02:45
hardtailYes sir02:45
locsmifoof... you may need to use an advanced partioning tool like Acronis to make space first02:45
TerryCit's a intel i210 gigabit adapter, I didn't get that error with my dual port 10gigabit card though... just the i21002:45
locsmifhardtail: or is there free space on the disk already/02:46
TerryCmight just be an error with the inbox driver02:46
Hardtaillocsmif i used osx's disk utility to create 100 gb of free space, not sure if that was ok02:46
locsmifHardtail: ah, that's good :)02:46
Hardtailbut it would not give me the option to format it in the installer02:47
locsmifHardtail: http://askubuntu.com/questions/462360/macbook-air-how-to-install-a-dual-bootable-ubuntu-14-04-lts02:47
locsmif"At partitioning stage, select manual partitioning, select as your / partition the partition that you created in Disk Utility (and swap if you created a partition for that)"02:48
locsmifI would create a swap partition, too.02:48
Hardtailhmm  odd when I got to that stage and selected it all the options were greyed out, only the partitions for my OSX could be altered02:49
eikon81ghey what format is the partition in? hfs or fat?02:49
eikon81gthe reason the installer may not see it is because the format of the partition may not be recognizable..02:50
kgalahassahi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully02:50
locsmifHardtail: you're supposed to create a new partition in the empty space..02:50
eikon81g(just a thought) I think I started out with a FAT partition02:50
Hardtailyes I understand that locsmif but it won't let me create a partition in it02:51
locsmifDoes it even show the empty space?02:51
Hardtailbah, it's probably me doing this all incorrectly :D02:51
Hardtailyes it does02:51
eikon81gwhat format is the partition when you see it in osx?02:52
Hardtailit says free space only02:53
eikon81gso in OSx disk utility does it show the Mac OS partition only?02:53
eikon81gthe free space is good but to utilize it you need to create a partition on that space to separate it from your osx partition02:54
Hardtailthat is correct eikon81g02:54
Hardtailah, so that was my mistake then02:55
eikon81gright but BE CAREFUL02:55
eikon81gwhen you start messing with partitions it's easy to mess things us and trash your osx partition and lose all your data02:55
locsmifWhat about this? http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-mac-os-x.png02:55
Hardtailyeah that option was not there locsmif02:56
locsmifI guess you never got that far..02:56
eikon81g^^ locsmif is good there are some tutorials and instructions available for dualbooting a mac02:56
Hardtailwell I installed the boot manager and everything, just needed the right flags02:56
eikon81gI would look for a step by step on how to dual boot a mac so that you don't lose any data or cause yourself grief02:56
eikon81gok well I was just chiming in on the partition question you have me beat with the rest but it sounds like you still need a valid partition to install onto02:57
locsmifhttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/10/dual-boot-os-ubuntu <- "Proceed to install Ubuntu on the .free space. partition you created earlier. Ubuntu may prompt you to install it on freespace (double check the size) or, if it doesn.t or you just want to be super-cautious choose the .Advanced. option from the partition screen."02:57
eikon81gso I would find the best way to allocate some of your free disk space into a new partition without wrecking your working osx install02:58
locsmifDid you chose the "Advanced" option? ;)02:58
Hardtailyes..that's what I was descrbing the buttons greyed out02:58
Hardtailand those guides are outdated that version of the bootloader is no longer ind evelopment02:59
eikon81g^^ you got it locsmif good luck yall.. sorry I can't help more I am ballsdeep on my issue atm LOL02:59
locsmifWell I give up02:59
locsmifeikon81g: just make sure you turn the volume down ;)02:59
Hardtailhahaha02:59
eikon81gI think a workaround for that issue is to have a partition ready to go when you load up the ubuntu installer.....02:59
Hardtaileikon81g i can partition the free space as exfat02:59
eikon81gLOL yes sir ty02:59
locsmifexfat?03:00
eikon81gso manually creating a partition using OSx maybe one way to get it done03:00
Hardtaili can partition it as mac os journalled ex fat or dos03:00
kgalahassahi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully03:01
locsmifHardtail: that won't work, I would guess..03:01
eikon81gexfat or fat should work to get your ubuntu installer to see the partition03:01
Hardtailright now osx sees both partitions03:01
Hardtailthis should work guys thanks. i will brb03:01
eikon81gsee if u use the os x disk utility to partition some of the free space you have then you can get ubuntu to install on that partition03:02
eikon81gok.. be careful don't over write your osx partition03:02
locsmifBut can Ubuntu boot from exFAT?03:02
eikon81git sees exfat in the ubuntu installer03:02
eikon81gIdk if it is native to ubuntu or not03:02
eikon81gwell if he pops back in he should try just FAT that's bound to be accessible03:03
eikon81git puckers up my butthole when it gets down to messing with the partitions because I hate to trash stuff by accident lol03:03
eikon81gI ran into an issue earlier and got some great help on this channel03:04
eikon81gthe LVM feature has a bug and it made my /boot partition way small03:04
eikon81gthe guys got me going but to repair it I need to re-install and I was like well crap so needless to say I am saving that for another day LOL03:05
locsmifYeah, LVM can be difficult03:05
eikon81gI think hardtail will get it tho.. sounds like he was close and he had the boot loader already working so hopefully he gets it03:06
eikon81gYea, they said there was a bug report on it but I was unaware until they walked me through some steps and looked @ my partition sizes smh.. some people are so good it makes me sick LOL03:06
locsmifThe problem is you seem to be wanting to help him get his free space *visible* by partitioning it and *formatting* it with an exFAT or other FAT-based filesystem, which doesn't work for Ubuntu installations, except for configurations such as ISOLINUX and the like.03:07
eikon81ghumm.. I was just under the impression he was lacking a second partition at all..03:07
locsmifWell, let's see what happens, I'm curious03:08
locsmifWe're indemnified, right?03:08
eikon81gme 2 lol I just remember when I installed xubuntu and ubuntu I started with a fat partition on my drive idk03:08
eikon81gindemnified indeed.. hopefully I didn't cause a boo boo03:09
eikon81glolll03:09
locsmifWhat I'm really missing here is a boot-time TeamViewer to help hardtail install Ubuntu remotely03:10
eikon81gI run an mac sometimes I just like os x too much to use anything else on that machine..03:10
eikon81gyea, Teamviewer is a lifesaver03:10

hardtailit was able to read the drive after formatting it in disk utility03:13
hardtaillol ^03:13
locsmifhardtail: so now you're able to install?03:14
hardtailyes when i assigned a mount directory of / it would work but asked me to create a swap partition03:14
kgalahassahi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully03:16
eikon81gLocsmif you're up! LOL03:16
locsmifhardtail: you assigned that to a different partition than the OSX parition, yes? And you formatted the partition you assigned / to with a file system Ubuntu supports?03:16
locsmifeikon81g: hold my confetti, I'm going in03:17
TerryCWhen I reboot, my eth1 is down, and I have to manually bring it up. Any idea how to make it come up normally?03:17
hardtaillocsmif yes, i created 140 gbs as exfat. it will allow me to format it as ext4 and then assign mounting point of / but it asked me to create another partition for swapping otherwise memory issues can occur, so it says03:17
locsmifTerryC: /etc/network/interfaces would be interesting in this regard. But it may contain some privacy sensitive information, such as your public ip address.03:18
locsmifhardtail: how much memory do you have?03:18
hardtail16gb03:18
TerryClocsmif: I set my ip addresses in there, but it still comes up disabled.03:18
locsmifhardtail: oh, forget about swap then. It's very much recommended, but with 16GB of memory, well.. I'd take the gamble.03:19
locsmifYou could repartition later, maybe.03:19
TerryCand if I manually up eth1 it does not use the ip I set in interfaces03:19
locsmifhardtail: it's just that it's been a rough ride even getting to this point, I suggest moving forward03:19
locsmifTerryC: I was more or less suggesting you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces, so we could look at it, perhaps with some sensitive info obscured with x's.03:20
hardtailunderstood locsmif. well, sort of a curve ball here. this laptop is an i7, 16gb ram, has a dedicated gpu. if i just installed ubuntu in virtualbox would the performance be drastically different from native boot? i wont be running any 3d applications03:21
locsmifWell, why would you install in Virtualbox now?03:21
locsmifYou're nearly there!03:21
eikon81glol03:21
locsmifI would avoid Virtualbox, it's nice but inferior compared to Vmware03:21
* eikon81g dropped the confetti03:22
locsmifSo you may run into some problems using Virtualbox you wouldn't otherwise have, indeed.03:22
hardtailno worries it was just a thought03:22
locsmifhardtail: I wish I could connect to your box remotely so I could see this installation screen for myself. I could easily switch to a terminal and do the patitioning manually03:22
eikon81gmy vote is on the standalone install as well too many variables with virtualbox03:23

eikon81ghardtail when it asks you to create the partition why can't you?03:24
eikon81git's kind of just an automated part of the install I saw that too03:25
locsmifhardtail: with 16GB? No.. you're like 10GB clean of any problems, unless, perhaps, you go nuts in a browser like Chrome or Firefox03:25
eikon81ghaha ^^03:25
hardtailnono it will let me I believe eikon81g i just came back on osx to make another partition for swap lol03:25
hardtailbut i dont need to now03:25
eikon81gto be honest I just cruised through that part03:26
eikon81gI would let the ubuntu installer do it's own thing don't do it manually03:26
locsmifhardtail: moreover, if you were to actually create a swap partition, it would have to be ~16GB or perhaps even 20 or 32GB.03:26
eikon81gyou could omit the swap like locsmif says or just let the installer create you a partition03:26

TerryCYou never really seem to notice how much swap space you need till you have too little :)03:28
locsmifhardtail: may I say I'm rather jealous at your hardware specs?03:29
eikon81ghardtail I think if you just let the installer create you a new partition it will be fine use the default settings it brings up and next on through03:29

locsmifTerryC: have you checked back with swap usage?03:30
locsmifMy 8GB ram-carrying VPS has no swap at all03:31
TerryClocsmif: never really paid any attention to swap usage, these servers are pushing 40gbit nics, and the swapspace is probably rarely even used if at all unless being used for Chariot controllers03:31

kgalahassahi, i have installed rstudio on my ubuntu 14.04, but it don't start since, I'm trying by anyway but nothing, the software had been installed successfully. Here is my rdesktop.log: http://pastebin.com/UDRRusp2, and here my rsession-kgalahassa.log : http://pastebin.com/1JiuSHEw04:00
locsmifcknox: they were isntalled machine-wide?04:01
locsmifusing .debs ?04:01
locsmifhardtail: is nomodeset still active as a bootoption?04:01
hardtaili did not get a chance to verify, when it rebooted it did not load the rEFInd boot manager either, just went straight to ubuntu so i was not able to check the flags04:02
TerryClocsmif: We were testing Sea of Sensors, (a HP technology) and we had to test a thermal sensor...04:02
locsmifTerryC: I like where this is going04:03
TerryCfirst we tried a hair-dryer, full temp (after blowing a few, we remembered we run 220 in the lab, so had to find one that could plug into 220 :) ) so we point it at the chip with the sensors... get's up to like 200degrees, and still functions....04:03
locsmifhardtail: that ought to be configurable in the Grub config04:03
TerryCso then we're like, ok, realisticly... this chip should never get this hot... so we figure, what if it does...04:03
somsipTerryC: you win March 2015 award for offtopicness by mentioning hair dryers in the ubuntu support channel. Well done, now maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would be better :)04:04
locsmifMythbusters!04:04
TerryCso we get a hot-air gun, heats up to about 400 degrees or so... still works....04:04
locsmifOkay I can't miss out on this, joining #ubuntu-offtopic04:04
locsmifhardtail: but Ubuntu works?04:05
rjewould anyone know if its possible to get the updated opensource radeon driver into 14.04?04:05
TerryCso then we're thinking, what is our upper limit here? so we get an industrial heat gun..... The freaking chip was literally melting off the board, still sending data, we had it on a highspeed camera and the chip was literally sliding while still sending data.04:05
TerryCthen finally, it stopped. Our limit seemed to be right around 525-550F04:05
locsmifTerryC: awesome. I'm going to be quiet now about this so as not to provoke the ops04:06
hardtaillocsmif i was not able to login the screen was blank and purple but i could just hear the chime so sounds like it works lol04:06
locsmifTerryC: but that's the craziest thing I've ever heard /OT04:06
hardtailit's alright i will continue again tomorrow on this thank you for everything locsmif04:06
locsmifhardtail: I guess trying nomodeset again may help04:07

detorrhow do i install teamviewer on ubuntu 14.10 64-bit??04:25
detorrgetting a lot of errors04:25
esrHelp, apt-get upgrade was interrupted by power failure, am seeking recovery advice.04:26
laskoesr: You'll need a live cd that you can use to perform the recovery04:28
esrSystem is running.  CD still needed?04:28
laskoSo you have a usable system at the moment then?04:29
esrYes.  And it looks like apt-get check was a good first step, I have a clean source list again.04:30
esrRestring the upgrade...04:30
esrThat looks normal. Looks like apt-get check was the right response.04:31
lakmalwhat is the best remote software from windows to ubuntu .. tried VNC having several issue04:31
laskoand what particular issues are you seeing then?04:31
cknoxlakmal: what type of remote connection are you looking for?04:31
laskolakmal: Do you need a visual connection or command line?04:31
cknoxactually, try mobiterm04:32
lakmalyes04:32
lakmali need a visual connection04:32
lakmali have sone04:32
cknoxit has a built in X server04:32
lakmalssh04:32
lakmalthat works04:32
cknoxso you ssh to your system and then just run the apps you want04:32
laskolakmal: Well for command line I would just utilize SSH, and for visual I would use VNC because thats going to be the best option04:32
cknoxsorry, mobaxterm* http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/04:32
cknoxlakmal: unless you want to be able to view your screen and continue, then as lasko said vnc will be your best bet04:33
esrlasko: apt-get update was throwing messages about file mismatches.  I was reading the apt-get man page while I was waiting for a response here and found the check command. That seems to have cleared up my issues.04:33
laskoesr: Well I'm glad the issue is resolved heh.04:34
lakmalchnox: thanks, is there any thing better than VNC04:34
lakmal?04:34
le_pigesr: thanks for bringing that up. i've often wondered what to do, myself.04:35
cknoxwell VNC will let you control the system as it's seen as the console. Mobaxterm will let you SSH to the system and run GUI apps...04:35
lakmalcknox: thanks , i will try that option.. are you aware with any VNC issue with Ubuntu 14.0404:35
laskolakmal: VNC just utilizes the RDP protocol to allow you to access a devices visual terminal. All other types of applications will do that same thing and use the same protocol. VNC just has the best configuration options.04:35
laskolakmal: But there are other options if you find VNC overwhelming04:36
esrle_pig: I love it whe n I come looking for help and end up giving it.  Feels like good karma. :-)04:36
lakmallasko: thanks, are you aware with any VNC issues with Ubuntu 14.0404:36
cknoxlakmal: to be honest I've only ever used VNC or RDP, but it's always been in a windows based environment04:36
laskolakmal: None that I'm aware of no.04:36
laskoWhat particular issues are you having with VNC?04:37
lakmallasko: please provide the other options that best suite for windows04:37

htqpif you are fine with other users creating windows on that user's X session, run:   xhost +localhost07:21
lotuspsychjehtqp: yeah i think that was the trick, xhost07:21

lotuspsychjehtqp: so i can still grab the precise .deb of sux and use it on 14.04 safely?07:26
htqplotuspsychje: anyway. Another solution is to create an internal window with ''Xephyr :21'' and then running ''DISPLAY=:21 firefox'' from nadia07:26
Squall5668lotuspsychje: you set up a secondary '/' to launch applications from07:26
htqplotuspsychje: (where 21 is an arbitrary number, replace with what you want)07:26
Squall5668lotuspsychje: I'll try to find you the wiki entry, will explain it better than me :)07:26
lotuspsychjehtqp: lol thats too much workaround for what i want, just want to open a session on another user of a package07:26
somsiplotuspsychje: can't you just assign a passwd to the user, then log in properly as them? SSH in as your normal user if you need to do something only you have permissions for. Reset the passwd when you are done07:27
htqplotuspsychje: it depends on implementation factors (soname?) so it may or may not be possible, try it and see07:27
gr33n7007hsomsip: yeah if he give guest a password it will work07:27
lotuspsychjesux is so easy, it will let you launch firefox on any user instantly07:27

EriC^^i think you should be using the .31 kernel though09:11
White_Catah indeed09:11
White_CatI can get as far a sgrub09:11
White_Catso its kernel again? :/09:11

White_Cathttp://paste.ubuntu.com/10513040/09:14
White_CatEriC^^ yes but that was the broken ubuntu server that worked09:14
EriC^^you had the grub menu appear and chose and older one for it to work right?09:14
White_Catthis is a clean install09:14
White_Catah yes09:15
White_Catthis time I dont get the menu09:15
EriC^^yeah it doesn't appear if you're not dual booting09:15
EriC^^White_Cat, you could use the older kernel, and see if any newer kernels boot i guess09:16
White_CatI can but I dont think it will boot09:16
White_Catit didnt boot before09:16
White_Catwhen I just had two items09:16
White_CatI only had linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic linux-image-extra-3.16.0-31-generic09:17
EriC^^yeah i mean you could use the older one for now09:17
White_CatI dont remember what worked :(09:18
EriC^^and when a newer kernel comes out you could see if it works or not and then have it boot by default if it does09:18
White_Catfirst off I need that menu back I think09:18
EriC^^ok type nano /etc/default/grub09:18
Squall5668White_Cat: just hold shift while booting09:18

White_Catit instantly drops to grub prompt09:27
White_Catno menu or countdown09:27
EriC^^White_Cat, i think there's an option in grub for the default option that boots the last booted one09:27
EriC^^like default=lastsomething09:28
White_Catis there a way I can manually tell grub to boot my os?09:28
EriC^^if you set that, then if newer kernels are installed with dist-upgrade it wouldn't boot them when you restart remotely and you'd be ok09:28
hillaryAnd still my wifi not working09:29
EriC^^and when you're on the p you can test them out and if they work you just boot into them and it boots them to next time, otherwise you'd just boot into the older one and it would keep booting it09:29
White_CatI currently cannot boot at all, it doesnt give me the list09:29
White_Catlike it did the last time. I have no menu to select from09:29

EriC^^hamed, then boot the windows installer11:00
White_CatEriC^^ what can I try really11:02
EriC^^White_Cat, i'd ask in ##linux about it11:02
EriC^^it's kind of odd grub doesn't see your /boot dir11:03
White_Catokay11:03
White_Catcan you show up as well? I mean I am unsure if I can explain this as well as you11:03
White_Cator maybe in #grub ?11:03
EriC^^yeah i'm already there11:03
White_CatIn my experience #linux hasnt been very helpful in the past11:05
gr33n7007hhamed: use dd to completely wipe it then create a fs with mkfs.ntfs11:05
EriC^^White_Cat, nah they are helpful11:05
White_CatI asked the same question in #grub as well11:06
hamedEriC^^: do you confirm "use dd to completely wipe it then create a fs with mkfs.ntfs"?11:06
EriC^^hamed, no11:08
EriC^^hamed, no need to dd, and before creating a filesystem you need to have a partition table and partitions11:08
hamedEriC^^: i couldn't find gpt option in gparted11:08
EriC^^hamed, create new partition table or something11:09

flipsOn a 14.04LTS server, it gets a lot kernel updates requiring reboots all the time. I'd like security patches for kernels, but I don't need new features as often. What's the best path? Hold a package, or remove linux-image-generic, or some other way?11:50

osutapupopey: 14.1014:11
popeyosutapu: is it up to date?14:11
osutapuyes14:12
popeyosutapu: genuine ubuntu, not some derivative?14:12
osutapupopey: nope, xubuntu. but i deleted most of xubuntu-desktop stuff and installed cinnamon, but problem emerged after i tried to add a repo manually through 'software and sources'14:14
popeyosutapu: sounds like you're missing an update as a result of removing too much stuff14:14

osutaputhat's not it probably14:14
Squall5668I look away for 5 minutes...14:14
popeyosutapu: just issued the exact same command here. works fine. I suspect you're missing an SSL security update, on account of you being missing the xubuntu-desktop package14:16
osutapupopey: it happened after i tried to add a repo manually through 'software and sources'. afterwards i typed in terminal sudo apt-get update - it said i require gpg key14:16
popeyyes, that I would expect14:16
osutapuyeah14:16
popeybet if you "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^" it pulls in some ssl related libs14:16
popeylike python-openssl or something related.14:16
osutapuso i deleted that repo i just added, and made apt-get update.14:16
popeyprobably you're missing a certificate update which was sent out after a recent security vuln14:17
osutapupopey: then i try to add it properly (apt-add-repository), and this happens. it's not because of removing stuff, because i successfully added repose after removing stuff14:18

daftykinsKnight80: right, mythtv actually isn't anything to do with ubuntu, but the package is probably in the repos.14:23
daftykinsboodllebat: already told you this is off topic, keep it in ##networking thanks.14:24
popeyboodllebat: that's not really an ubuntu problem14:24

Knight80daftykins I have already installed mythtv, but I can't set the path of the remote windows machine without getting an error14:25

* qengho hates his eyboard.15:28
Seveasfreeroute: nope. It got removed because the built-in bash completion for git in older versions of bash-completion conflicts with what git ships15:28
freerouteah15:28
freeroutehmm15:29
Seveasso now you get to choose: fancy bash completion or newer git :)15:29
Seveas(normal file/directory completion still works)15:29
Squall5668No bash completion sounds... scary15:29
freerouteSeveas: yeah that's a tough one, I got bash-completion installed though. Could that be of some help?15:29
qenghoSquall5668: it's only command-specific completion. Files and programs still match. Not "commit" after "git" though.15:30
ntspHardest thing you have to do while setting up a server: come up with a hostname -.-15:30

JethroTuxhow can I possibly set two different DE/WM (ex. LXDE and awesome) in .xinitrc willing to run xinit without any displaymanager? for istance is that possibile to set "exec startlxde" and "exec awesome" in the same file? I've read that .xinitrc would execute only the first "exec" line. I'm a little confused :S15:38
k1l_JethroTux: why not use the ubuntu way and use lightdm?15:39
c0mrad3is 15.04 a LTS ??15:39
EriC^^c0d3w4rri0r, does /Volumes/esp contain anything at all?15:39
k1l_c0mrad3: no15:39
JethroTuxit's utopic15:40
c0mrad3kk15:40
JethroTuxanyway I know i should change those through update.alternatives15:40
k1l_JethroTux: again: why dont you just start lightdm and choose the desktop to login there?15:40
JethroTuxk1l_, i don't want to use any display manager15:41
JethroTuxi log in tty and then run startx wrapper15:41
dipoootsare you trying to run two displays?15:42
dipoootswhich is to say one on alt+f7 and one on alt+f815:42
JethroTuxdipooots, you mean two DM?15:42
dipoootsnaw, two 'startx' sessions15:42
JethroTuxno just one15:43
dipoootsif you want to cycle between you'd have to change .xinitrc each time15:43
dipoootsi'd say make a script to do that for you and do startx15:43
c0d3w4rri0rEric^^: yep BOOTLOG and EFI15:43
JethroTuxit don't need to run two xinits15:43
EriC^^JethroTux, i think you'd have to set lxde to use awesome instead of openbox15:43
EriC^^not sure15:43
JethroTuxrightnow lightdm executes "lxsession -s Lubuntu -e LXDE"15:44
dipoootsoh sorry i misunderstood :)15:44
c0d3w4rri0rEFI should contain a folder called refind in it. it doesnt15:44

JinBabaHi, how do I elevate my privilege to root on GUI (Nautilus) like I do with SU terminal command?15:46
SchrodingersScat!gksu | JinBaba15:46
cfhowlettJinBaba, gksu nautilus15:46
ubottuJinBaba: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)15:46
jhutchinslfound: It's a standard USB mouse, so yes.15:46
JethroTuxEriC^^ You mean installing awesome and change it through "update-alternatives --config"?15:46
JethroTuxi mean change it to default instead of openbox?15:46
k1l_JinBaba: use gksu. but mind what you do then15:46
dipoootslfound, running in live mode is a good way to test hardware15:47
lfoundjhutchins: what about the scroll wheel (or scroll ball in this case)15:47
c0d3w4rri0rEriC^^: Initially I tried skipping step 6 when I couldn't find the file. the reboot showed no new boot loader just the standard mac login.15:48
jhutchinslfound: Again, it's a standard usb mouse.15:48
somsipJethroTux: just checking - you want awesomewm to start up from startx or from lighdm?15:48
OerHekslfound, doesn't it work for you?15:48
JethroTuxsomsip, from startx!15:48
lfoundOerHeks: i'm not totally familiar with the apple mouse but from what i can tell, no15:49

c0d3w4rri0ryes15:49
somsipJethroTux: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184401 though I ended up installing slim (login manager) to solve some other problems that I cant remember now. Don't think it's a requirement though15:49
lfoundthe scroll ball doesn't seem to function15:49
c0d3w4rri0r10.10.215:49
k1l_JethroTux: any reason you dont want a dm?15:49
dipoootsit should be okay, bearing in mind if it's an issue you can manually setup the mouse with an xorg.conf file15:49
EriC^^c0d3w4rri0r, so that is yosemite?15:50
dipoootsyou can probably find one already for your mouse that you just drop in place15:50
JethroTuxsomsip, I know ruuning "update-alternatives --config  x-window-manager" would fix anything15:50
c0d3w4rri0ryep15:50
somsipJethroTux: direct answer on ubuntu says the same sort of thing http://askubuntu.com/questions/112838/starting-awesome-wm-when-using-startx15:50
EriC^^c0d3w4rri0r, ok, it says there are special instructions for it15:50
_crazzyI've been struggling for hours with grub after installing 14.04. Boot disk is /dev/sdb, and grub tools generates a grub.cfg pointing to hd1, but it should generate config pointing to hd0, otherwise the system wont boot. Can someone please point me into the right direction to fix this?15:50

=== Guest57022 is now known as ayushpix
EriC^^JinBaba, it's better to leave it that way so you dont go nuts with it15:51
EriC^^c0d3w4rri0r, yes but on that page it says if you're using yosemite press here and there are a million other steps15:52
EriC^^http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/yosemite.html15:52
JethroTuxsomsip, ok that's for the WM i had already read it. But what about setting the desktop environment? For istance cinnamon or kde or gnome? how can I possibly get the two run together?15:52
somsipJethroTux: you dont15:53
JinBabalol alright thanks all!15:53
JethroTuxsomsip, that's kinda strange15:53
c0d3w4rri0rEric^^: yep read that. those are instructions for if you already had rEFInd installed under a previous OS15:53
somsipJethroTux: awesomewm does not run 'under' a DE15:54
JethroTuxsomsip, that's the thing. Ok now I get it :) Is it a DE itself?15:55
JethroTuxor a session-manager?15:56
deloriccan anyone point me in the direction on how to strip everything from a text file after a specific word such as epub? everything after that one the line I would see stripped15:56
somsipJethroTux: no, it's a window manager15:56
c0d3w4rri0rEric^^: note step 6 and 7 of the Yosemite specific instructions still tell me to look for the refind.conf in a folder that doesn't exist15:56
JethroTuxwell it needs a session-manager or a DE then15:57
JethroTuxyou can't run standalone WM!15:57
* somsip looks at monitors15:57
somsipJethroTux: I disagree15:57
dipoootsJethroTux, you can, depending on how minimal you want things15:57
OpenTokixJethroTux: ofc you can15:58
somsipJethroTux: I've been on awesomewm about 4 years. Read up on it a bit. It seems like you dont really understand15:58
deloriccan anyone point me in the direction on how to strip everything from a text file after a specific word such as epub? everything after that one the line I would see stripped15:58
dipoootsopenbox is an example of a very customizable way to do things, you can start with openbox then add on whatever else you want15:58
OpenTokixsomsip: Awesome is indeed aweomse, learning curve is a bit steep15:58
dipoootsstartx  will invoke whatever you have set in .xinitrc bypassing the need for a session manager15:59
JethroTuxi have openbox run as a WM with lxsession. I know I could use it as a session mang. too through openbox-session15:59
dipoootsyeah, personally i prefer a 'full desktop'16:00

_DBbut when I mount the iso it has exe's in it16:01
ntspk1l_ isnt it the same thing? (just make a drive with the iso on it)16:02
JethroTuxdipooots, do you mean I could only set a WM in xinitrc to run with a default DE?16:02
k1l_no, he needs to install windows. he cant run that from ubuntu16:02
dipoootsJethroTux, i mean you only need the wm, linux desktops are modular16:03
ntspk1l_ he has the iso, he can create a bootable drive from ubuntu?16:03
k1l_install in like: reboot from the iso in what ever way that supports it16:03
dipoootsJethroTux, you could then set your own 'task bar' etc by adding that in .xinitrc too16:03
dipoootsso startx would invoke for example openbox and tint216:03
somsipJethroTux: This will give you better understanding of the terms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment16:04
dipoootsJethroTux, bearing in mind openbox on it's own is very bare bones16:05
dipoootsabout as bare bones as it comes16:05
JethroTuxdipooots, what about fluxbox? or icewm?16:07
=== akin is now known as akin_away
EriC^^JethroTux, fluxbox has tabs at the bottom, it's blackbox with more options16:08
JethroTuxEriC^^, btw in xinitrc either I set a DE, or if i want to "customize" with my own different WM i cant run both!16:09
dipoootsJethroTux, if you install fluxbox you willl get a better idea the difference between desktop and wm16:09
dipoootsfluxbox is a wm + some small stuff to make it more functional16:10
somsipJethroTux: gave you a link to do that earlier. .xinitrc will just have something like "awesomewm" or "lxce-session" and one will be commented out with a #16:10
dipoootsit's worth remember the term learning curve, go ahead and try a stand alone wm (like fluxbox), no session manager needed in most cases, only way to learn really16:11
somsipJethroTux: dipooots makes a good point. If you are struggling to do this, maybe awesomewm is not for you. I'd upvote for open/flux box as a simple light wm that's different16:12
JethroTuxdipooots, ok, Some WM ​contain relatively sparse desktop environment elements16:12
somsipJethroTux: ..or none16:13
dipoootsyes openbox alone contains just a wm and a right click option16:13
dipoootsfluxbox is right click, much menus and stuff plus a clock and task bar and 'run command' wired to alt+f216:14

JethroTuxThe thing is: to have both a DE or a SM (lxde-lxsession) with a different WM, is a must to have a DM?16:15
JethroTuxor I can change settings through alternatives16:15
JethroTuxmaybe that's the way two make them live together16:15
JethroTuxdipooots, right?16:16
dipoootsa certain session manager will start the desktop or wm it relates to, bearing in mind you don't need one, it's optional16:16
=== [willwh] is now known as willwh
JethroTuxright, lxsession is used by LXDE for example16:17
dipoootsif you have the kitchen sink, a display managger and session manager you can switch between whatever session managers you want and they will start the relating desktops16:17

JethroTuxi just don't get it. in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc it says: "Now, edit ~/.xinitrc and uncomment the line that corresponds to your DE/WM". But also: "Make sure to uncomment only one exec line, since that will be the last command run from the script"16:23
winterchillzthank you, Pantsu!!16:23
JethroTuxso I can't get two working together!16:23
k1l_JethroTux: arch uses another setup with the root user account.16:24
JethroTuxsorry for my english myabe i can't explain myself16:24
EriC^^JethroTux, which two? i think somsip said awesomewm can't be used with lxde it's almost a de itself or something16:24
JethroTuxok what about gnome-session and icewm together?16:25
EriC^^why are you trying to mix and match these?16:25
EriC^^JethroTux, i dont know what you've modified, but maybe sudo apt-get install icewm would work16:26
EriC^^if you just added exec icewm or whatever it uses to start in .xinitrc16:26
dipoootsanother example would be fluxbox, it's a stand alone wm, and lxde and xfce are full desktops comprising of different parts16:26
JethroTuxdipooots, right!16:26

dipoootsyou could have installed openbox without the rest oof the parts if you had wanted, and started openbox16:29
JethroTuxpersonally i think that is all fixable through alternatives!16:29

abdulhakimif trying to set up dual boot between Windows and Linux, does Windows have to be installed first even if they're on two separate hard drives?16:46
cfhowlettabdulhakim, no it doesn't have to be first, just makes the process a lot easier if it is16:46
cfhowlettespecially setting the /boot properly.  if windows 8+ you have efi requirements16:47
kriskropdabdulhakim: the reason you install windows first is because the windows install overwrites the boot information - that means you need to reinstall GRUB or whatever boot system you are using afterwards (again)16:47

_Rocky_Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I usually use GNOME DE. But I am trying to switch over to xmonad. I am using xmobar + trayer. I use nm-applet for network management. I would like to know if it is possible to get the sound and brightness applets running in trayer just like the nm-applet.17:52

iggymydogomgitsmit: so how would i fix that18:06

omgitsmitiggymydog: i'm also in the same field as yourself and use ubuntu live cd's for troubleshooting almost on a weekly basis.18:11

VolUTFanI found this is where the crontab tables for all of the servers are listed /var/spool/cron/crontabs , however I can't cd into the directory.  I am getting "bash: cd: crontabs/: Permission denied"  any ideas how to look in that directory18:17
VolUTFannm, I figured it out18:18
VolUTFanwow, interesting...  the crontab file for root, in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs is different than the entries listed in sudo crontab -e or -l....  any ideas as to why?18:20
VolUTFanits got some of the entries in there, but its still missing current entries18:20
omgitsmitVolUTFan: user cron would be different than roots18:20
VolUTFanomgitsmit, I don't have a user cron in that directory...18:21
VolUTFanI have my user and the root18:21
omgitsmityou just said you dont have the user cron, then you said you have two users crons.18:22
VolUTFaneither way, the root crontab, where I have been making entries, using sudo crontab -e, is different than the crontab file for root in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs directory18:22
LordDeathdoes ubuntu 14.04 with installed KDE still have a "/etc/init.d/kdm"?18:22
omgitsmitVolUTFan: yes, each user has their own seperate cron18:22
VolUTFanno, I didn't say anything about a user named cron18:22
omgitsmit<    VolUTFan>| I have my user and the root18:22
VolUTFanright... so why is the file in that directory for root...  differerent than what I see when I hit the terminal and type sudo crontab -e18:23
VolUTFanim just simply trying to understand.  I am confused lol.  I think it was either rberg, lordievader or BluesKaj that suggested I throw these in the root crontab since it required sudo rights for my commands.18:24

Mandeep_Singhhey guys, when I put my 14.04 into sleep mode and sometimes it doesn't wake up and just restarts the system. Reported error many times. My some friends also faced that problem.18:47
EriC^^Mandeep_Singh, are you using fglrx or fglrx-updates?18:48
_jomoAbout half a year ago I decided to finally run dist-upgrade (12 to 14). At some point my x session crashed. I just went to console 1 and waited. After some time it still told me to run dist-upgrade, so I did it again. When that was done I had to reboot and suddenly I'm "running in low graphics mode" and pretty much all of the `apt-get` commands failed because sub-command dpkt returned an error or because too many errors occured (looks lik18:49
EriC^^_jomo, you're supposed to use sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade to a newer release18:49
bazhang_jomo, dist-upgrade will NOT change versions18:50
_jomoI think that was the command I used, was half a year ago sorry18:50
EriC^^ok18:50
_jomo/etc/issue Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l18:51
Mandeep_SinghEriC^^, I searched about fglrx. I think it's for amd catalyst or related. I am using HP notebook intel i3 integrated intel graphics card only.18:51
Mandeep_SinghPlease correct and suggest me.18:51
EriC^^Mandeep_Singh, that's true18:51
EriC^^Mandeep_Singh, i've no idea, sometimes coming from sleep issues are related to graphics drivers18:52
EriC^^i get a similar issue using fglrx-updates18:52
Mandeep_SinghEriC^^, I see.18:52
Mandeep_SinghEriC^^, I don't think there is need for graphics drivers for the integrated intel ones.18:53
EriC^^yeah i dont think so18:54
EriC^^_jomo, so what's the problem?18:54
_jomoEriC^^: apt-get upgrade tells me about "134 not fully installed or removed" and then drowns in "dependency problems" and finally exists with "Processing was halted because there were too many errors"18:55
_jomoand when I boot I can only run in "low graphics mode" for some reason18:55
EriC^^Mandeep_Singh, does /var/log/syslog mention anything?18:56
EriC^^Mandeep_Singh, or /var/log/kern.log maybe?18:56
EriC^^_jomo, ok, run sudo apt-get -f install18:57

Jordan_Uemsy2015: Even then you were only talking about having deleted /boot/, but your problem is that you have improperly converted from an unencrypted installation to an encrypted one. How did you try to convert from a system that was not using LUKS to one that now is?20:02
emsy2015Jordan_U: I guess it was using crypto_LUKS because I had an error when I tried to mount. mount: unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS'20:04
emsy2015Jordan_U: so I did sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb5 ubuntu_root20:04
Jordan_Uemsy2015: OK. I'm going to ask this question again. Did you configure encryption while you were initially installing Ubuntu? If you're not sure, then say you're not sure.20:05
KXStudio_Ptobscan someone help ubuntu kxstudio won't connect to wifi networks20:05
emsy2015Jordan_U: I' m not sure, I' d rather say no. Let me explain, I' m newbie to ubuntu as you could already see. I had my kernels removed accidentally by my brother.

emsy2015Jordan_U: sorry for my bad english20:07

multiverseHello, I recently installed 14.10, and tried to start NFS, but I get the following messages:  Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel.21:46
multiverseI don’t know what to do for a quick fix, cause I’m a newbie.21:46
kaotic_I had the same problem but , so how my issue fixed itself21:47
YukonSpectormultiverse, Article I used to solve that problem. http://askubuntu.com/questions/507983/nfs-kernel-daemon-no-support-in-current-kernel21:48
kaotic_multiverse , i'm a newbie as well um did you try to google it?21:48
YukonSpectorinstalling the nfs-kernel-server and a reboot did it for me.21:48
multiversealas, not for me.  But I will review that article.  kaotic, I did.21:48
kaotic_Hey and i'm also new to this whole irc , and i'm not familiar with it what so ever , anybody want to give me some pointers that i can use?21:49

MegabyteHello, everyone22:03
MegabyteCould you please enlighten me here?22:03
Megabyte"Ubuntu will always be free of charge, along with its regular enterprise22:03
Megabytereleases and security updates."22:03
DANDOUNHELLO THERE22:03
budddits free i'm on it i didn't pay anything22:03
PiciMegabyte: Whats the question?22:03
budddthey're real and they're wonderful22:03
MegabytePici, It says "Ubuntu will always be free of charge". Does it mean we only have one Ubuntu?22:04
MegabyteWhy is it listing "regular enterprise releases" separately?22:04
daftykinsMegabyte: nothing in those words indicates quantity of editions22:04
Megabytedaftykins, What is it referring to?22:04
k1l_Megabyte: its not excluding anything22:05
Bashing-omMegabyte: The term 'ubuntu' is collective in that there are many releases under that umbrella .22:05
Danatosome software are free for home users, but really expensive for companies22:05
Danatoits saying its not the case with Ubuntu22:05
Megabytek1l_, Can't it just say then, "All releases of Ubuntu will be free"?22:05
PiciSure, but thats boring, and not what Marketing people get paid to do.22:05
daftykinsMegabyte: is English not your first language? it makes total sense22:06
IdleOneMega: tomato/tomato22:06
k1l_Megabyte: because than you would join here and ask what is meant with "all" ;p22:06
Danatothey want to make it clear for enterprises, to make it clear that there are no tiny phrases somewhere saying that only applies to home computers22:06
Megabytedaftykins, It's not my first language22:07

amancer1freeroute: I can open /proc/version: Linux version 3.2.0-77-generic (buildd@phianna) (gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) ) #112-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 10 15:22:22 UTC 2015"... So it's there I guess?23:04
Wugsay I have a desktop ubuntu machine running an X environment, and I also have a windows machine running xming.  I want to be able to launch programs somehow such that they are displayed simultaneously on both X screens23:04
syriusWug: you'd be better off running a NoMachine connection23:05
freerouteamancer1: yeah (btw, always use cat or echo for that)23:05
freerouteerr, cat I meant23:05
Wugsyrius: I don't know what that means.23:05
m1dnight_guys, is /usr/local/sbin in the environment for a user that is not allowed to have sudo rights?23:05
syriusWug: it's a remote desktiop application that allows simultaneous viewing of the remote desktop23:05
syriusand it's free23:05
freeroutemircx1: no, sbin is for users with root privs23:05
daftykinsWug: teamviewer would make most sense i think there23:05
freeroutem1dnight_: I meant23:06
m1dnight_aha! :)23:06
syriusdaftykins: NX is a free teamviewer essentially but can work on local networks directly for far increased performance23:06
amancer1freeroute: How do I echo/cat the content of a file?23:06
syriusamancer1: cat file23:06
Wugthis would be for working remotely, and you can't use teamviewer commercially without a license23:06
daftykinssyrius: ah-har good to know, thanks23:06
Wugand TV licenses are hella expensive.23:06
syriusWug: exactly, which is why NX is a good alternative23:06
amancer1syrius: I feel like such a noob. Thanks to you guys, thanks to the community, thanks to this channel (Y)23:07
syriusamancer1: np23:07
WugI'll look into it, but under the circumstances and given the configurations I've tried I've been more impressed with single-window forwarding as opposed to whole-session forwarding23:07
Wugi.e. something like vnc23:08
syriusbut wouldn't single-window forwarding be pretty awkard for the person on the other end?23:08
syriussince you have no peripheral of anything else on their screen23:08
stijndgsince when is teamviewer not free? been using it for 2 years without me paying anything...23:08
Wugthere is only one person, and it's me. it's just a question of me being in the office, or at home23:08
syriusthen why not just use X11 forwarding for the specific program?23:08
syriusah23:08
Wugthat's what I'm currently doing23:09
syriusbut you want it there when you get into the office as well23:09
Wugyes, precisely23:09
WugX forwarding through some magical x proxy that outputs to multiple displays simultaneously would probably be sufficient23:09
Wugwhich is how I found dmx23:10
Wugbut I have no idea if that will actually work for this, so I figured I'd ask to see if someone else has tried something like this23:10
syriusWug: no, i think most people just use remote screen view... and are you only planning on running 1 program at a time on the remote server?23:10
freerouteamancer1: http://linuxcommand.org/23:11
Wugif I found something that worked really well but had a 1-program limitation, I could probably make it work23:11
freeroutethat helps23:11
syriusstijndg: teamviewer has always cost $$$ for commercial use23:11
syriusif you're using it in the office that's against their license terms23:12
Wugwell, if you're using it for work that's against their license23:12
syriusyou CAN download it and use it all you want, but when you install/run it you select what your usage is23:12
Wugchances are if you're using it from the office to do non-work things on your home computer, that's technically ok23:12
ikoniaI doubt thats "ok"23:13
ikoniamost offices will block that23:13
ikoniaand most offices will have an interenet usage policy to stop that23:13
daftykinsi think the idea is that which you profit from23:13
Wugyes, but that's not a license issue with teamviewer23:13
daftykins(for what commercial purposes means)23:13
daftykinsso if someone paid you to fix their system remotely...23:13
Wugthat's the sort of thing teamviewer was designed for23:14
WugI'm not sure they license it with the use case of remotely working on one computer in mind23:14
Wugit's like $900 for a single-connection license23:14
ikoniaemail the teamviewer team and ask them for clarification23:14
Squall5668daftykins: it's very 'loose'. You'd be better off blocking it in your office. If you are using it from there to connect to home and trasnfer files for work that you forgot, is it commercial or personal use?23:14
ikoniaany doubt, ask the people wh owrite it23:15
daftykinsi'd hope i weren't using teamviewer for that kind of task :D23:15
Squall5668Heh, point. Back to topic!23:16
Wugregardless I don't want to use teamviewer for this, because I would have to jump through hoops to make it work. the office has an external SSH proxy already so X forwarding is a triviality, but anything beyond that I need all sorts of tunnels for23:16
_DBhey guys I have a external cd drive anyway I can boot from it?23:17
ikoniaif your bios supports it23:17
_DBor set it to boot on next start up23:17
Wugthat question has different answers depending on what hardware you have. have you tried it?23:17
_DByeah I went to the boot menu23:17
_DBbut it doesnt show up23:17
ikoniathen it doesn't support it23:18
_DBuhhh23:18
Wugcan you boot from other usb devices23:18
_DByeah23:18
Wugmaybe try disconnecting all of the other boot devices, plug just that one in, and see if it works automatically23:18
_DBhow can I run a windows install inside ubuntu?23:19
ikonia_DB: you don't23:19
_DBthrough wine? or virtual box?23:19
ikonianeither23:19
Wug"inside" ubuntu, you'd need some sort of virtualization platform23:19
_DByeah thats what I figured with wine or virtual box23:19
burkmat_DB: VirtualBox works.23:19
burkmat_DB: Wine doesn't provide what you're looking for.23:20
k1l__DB: wine can only run windows apps. but not windows23:20
Wugyou can run windows programs (to a degree) without virtualization using wine, and installing one alongside the other is trivially easy to do but will not let you run both at once, obviously.23:20
ikoniathats is not an install inside ubuntu23:20
ikoniathat will install to a virtual machine23:20
_DBIve made 2 bootable usb with windows 7 none have worked23:20
_DBno no23:20
_DBI want to dual boot23:20
ikonia_DB: the ##windows channel can help you with that23:20
Wugikonia: potato potato *inflection differences*23:20
_DBbut I cant seem to get windows 7 installed23:20
ikoniaWug: no, thats significant23:20
burkmat_DB: How did you make the USBs? Did you use Unetbootin?23:20
_DBno I used winUSb23:21
Wugrunning windows inside a virtual machine inside ubuntu is running windows inside ubuntu via the transitive property.23:21
k1l__DB: you cant install windows from a running ubuntu. please ask the ##windows guys how to proceed with that install23:21
_DBthen I used rufus on a windows environment23:21
Wug_DB: windows is not particularly friendly to live USB configurations23:21
GreencloudDoes the latest version of ubuntu still uses GRUB?23:22
ikoniaGreencloud: yes23:22
Wuggrub2 in fact23:22
Wugthey ultimately behave similarly, but much of the configuration process is different23:23
Wugmake sure you read the documentation for the correct version23:23
acz32my installation is aborting due to "unsafe swap space". but i haven't even defined swap yet. i just selected to encrypt disk and use LVM. what should i do? https://i.imgur.com/C91Fxdd.png23:24
Greencloud@_DB: if thats the case you can try install windows first then let grub in ubuntu sort of auto detect ur windows. Worked for me before when i was still using ubuntu23:24
Wug_DB: if you want to dual boot, I suggest you use gparted to repartition (shrinking other partitions as necessary to create a 40GB empty primary partition) and run the windows installer, which should do the rest for you23:24
_DBhow would I run the windows installer?23:25
Ben64_DB: ask ##windows23:25
Wug_DB: it's the windows install CD.23:26
Wugyou'd boot from it23:26
Ben64acz32: do you actually need encryption23:26
daftykinsacz32: what is that? doesn't really look like a standard ubuntu to me 0o but granted i've not seen them all23:26
Wuglike I said, windows gets cranky running from USB devices. you may manage to get it to work but YMMV23:26
_DBwhat if I resize my partition and run virtual box?23:26
acz32Ben64: no, i'm just experimenting in a vm23:26
acz32daftykins: lubuntu23:27
acz32i don't even want swap space23:27
Wug_DB: I don't know why you'd bother to do that, since if you're virtualizing it you can keep the windows filesystem on your linux filesystem as a flat file23:27
Ben64acz32: encryption in general is more trouble than its worth, id suggest doing away with it23:27
Wugacz32: can you ctrl+alt+f1 to bring up a tty, and run swapoff?23:28
acz32Ben64: thanks for sharing your opinion but it doesn't answer my question23:28
Greencloud_DB: after u successfully install windows, u can then set the partitions u need for ubuntu, like ur boot, swap, home, drive, etc..23:28
Ben64acz32: thats why i asked if you needed encryption, to which you replied "no"23:28
acz32Wug: i'll try that thanks23:28
acz32Ben64: i don't NEED it. so what?23:29
acz32i am trying to do it either way23:29
burkmat_DB: What do you intend to use your Windows installation for? Gaming? Or just certain Windows applications?23:29
Ben64acz32: ok then do what the error message you posted says. stop being so combative23:29
_DBcertain windows apps23:29
_DBIm developing games in unity23:29
WugBen64: while that's a pretty valid point, there is definitely an argument for experimentation for the sake of experimentation23:29
_DBand it only runs on windows and mac23:29
_DBi recently had to format my HDD when I botched a windows 8 removal23:30
burkmat_DB: If a Virtual Machine is good enough, I wuold recommend it. It has a lot of benefits in my opinion, and is a lot easier to set up.23:30
acz32Wug: your suggestion worked. i didn't know you could access a shell during the installer process. thanks23:30
burkmat_DB: You should know that a virtual machine is good for most things you might want to do in a Windows environment, except high-performance video/audio stuff like gaming.23:30
Wugacz32: idk where it got the swap from, maybe it found a swap partition already on the disk and used that?23:31
_DBI probably shouldnt try to develop games23:31
_DBin a virtual environment23:31
_DBas soon as I start stress testing or importing big models it will probably crash23:31
Wugdeveloping them in a virtual environment will be fine. testing them or playing them not so much23:31
_DBlol23:31
acz32Wug: i don't know. it's in its own VM in virtualbox. shouldn't have any swap, just an empty disk23:32
arveniusctrl-f5 is your friend23:32
burkmat_DB: It won't crash, but it will take a lot longer and if you're doing advanced video stuff you might get issues.23:32
burkmat_DB: You should probably have dual boot though.23:32
_DBthats what im aiming for23:32
_DBbut windows 7 doesnt want to install for some reason lol23:32
_DBI have a external cd drive but it wont boot23:32
Ben64_DB: ask ##windows !!23:32
_DBI also have a iso saved on my ubuntu in my downloads23:32
_DBsepeck  then figure that out first. 6:25:31 PM sepeck  we're not really a dual boot channel, just fyi23:33
_DBI did ^^23:33
k1l__DB: please stick to ubuntu support in here. (already asked you several times now)23:33
_DBOMFGGG!!23:38
_DBi hate windows23:38
jtllo:D23:38
jtlloYou love Windows!23:38
_DBive spent two weeks unable to install this because the OS selection was set to windows 823:38
_DBand im trying to install 723:38
jtllothat sux23:39
Squall5668no, THAT sucks23:39
k1l__DB: this is not a "talk about windows" channel. stick to ubuntu support in here.23:39
WugI once got muted in this channel for like 4 months because I said "god damnit ubuntu". I was angry (and I am still angry) because my editor crashed (and still crashes, bug remains unfixed) and I assert that my fury was justified23:40
Wugcrashing editors is not ok23:40
k1l_!ot |  Wug23:40
ubottuWug: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!23:40
McMidohmm any idea why my ubuntu freezes suddenly ?23:44
k1l_McMido: see the logs23:45
McMidoK1rk: alright ill check it23:45
k1l_like dmesg or syslog in /var/log23:46
LadonCan I change the default local lftp directory?23:48
McMidok1l_: is thats normal ?? , http://paste.ubuntu.com/10520808/23:50
MoPacMcMido: Are the freezes happening when you're doing something like changing the volume or starting to watch a video?23:55
McMidojust surfing like 10+ web sites. thats all23:56
