[00:11] <est31> hi, I cant install wine with steam
[00:11] <est31> exit code 79
[00:12] <est31> tried winetricks install, also the msiexec method
[00:13] <OerHeks> est31, use the native linux steam
[00:13] <est31> but I want to play a game that doesn't work natively.
[00:13] <est31> OerHeks, game reported to work fine with wine though
[00:14] <OerHeks> est31, then check the winedb
[00:14] <OerHeks> !wine
[00:14] <est31> OerHeks, winedb reports no error
[00:14] <OerHeks> steam and wine, not sure that will work.
[00:15] <est31> just why can't they also support games through wine.
[00:17] <est31> also, normal installer shipped with the game aborts with only a gui error
[00:17] <est31> but not saying what failed
[00:20] <eikon81g> I have an issue with a bluetooth speaker, I can get it paired up and it shows it's connected in blueman. It worked one time but since then I can not get the speaker to show up in the Output devices in the sound settings after it's paired
[00:21] <eikon81g> any suggestions? I am on 14.10 Xubuntu
[00:21] <eikon81g> pa pa palease...
[00:21] <eikon81g> lol
[00:23] <eikon81g> does anyone know how to change the audio sink to a bluetooth adapter in terminal? I'v e seen some info on that..
[00:25] <garthk> Anyone know their NTP? Trying to drag servers in from large offsets. ntpdc pstats shows offset=0 despite ntpdate -q of the peer IP showing 160s. I’ve set restrict x.x.x.x nomodify notrap nopeer for the peer IP so it’s not locked out. Ideas?
[00:27] <EddieFTW> damn.  can someone help me out?
[00:27] <garthk> EddieFTW: depends on the “damn"
[00:28] <phaedral> howdy, hola, yo

[00:29] <phantomcircuit> the indicator applet has disappeared
[00:29] <phantomcircuit> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=jABsJvHL
[00:30] <sk8tch> first
[00:30] <phantomcircuit> anyguesses?
[00:30] <sk8tch> anyone
[00:32] <eikon81g> phantom i am not anyhelp but what version of ubuntu are you on
[00:32] <phantomcircuit> utopic
[00:33] <phantomcircuit> i did a dist upgrade from lts
[00:34] <phantomcircuit> but that was like two weeks ago
[00:34] <phantomcircuit> im guessing it's related though
[00:34] <phantomcircuit> :|
[00:34] <est31> I'm getting the same error like this person:https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19444&iTestingId=84524&bShowAll=true
[00:34] <eikon81g> so it was still working after you updated?
[00:34] <eikon81g> and just stopped today?
[00:35] <est31> the issue is, the person didn't write how they fixed the issue (or whether they fixed it at all)
[00:36] <phantomcircuit> eikon81g, yesterday after and apt-get upgrade
[00:36] <eikon81g> ok are you using xfce or anything like that?
[00:37] <phantomcircuit> eikon81g, no it's gnome
[00:39] <eikon81g> phantomcircuit I was reading about some stuff on xfce I had some issues when I was running uduntu and installed xfce
[00:41] <eikon81g> I wish I could help man sorryu
[00:41] <JustBerry> Is anyone here familiar with API implementation in Google Script (JSON)? Message me if you are.
[00:41] <est31> I have nailed down the issue to gecko
[00:41] <phantomcircuit> eikon81g, well i guess now is as good a time as any to do a clean install
[00:41]  * phantomcircuit goes looking for a usb hdd for backup
[00:41] <est31> but why isn't wine gecko working
[00:41] <eikon81g> yea, lol best of luck phantom
[00:42] <phantomcircuit> eikon81g, i cant even get the ethernet controller to work with debian on this thing
[00:42] <phantomcircuit> silly msi
[00:43] <eikon81g> that's crazy..
[00:43] <eikon81g> in my experience the updates are pretty rough
[00:43] <eikon81g> I usually go straight to clean install..
[00:44] <sproc> I installed the 'openbox' window manager.  It is available for selection from the login screen (I believe LightDM).  Where can I find the command used to launch openbox-session?
[00:44] <phantomcircuit> yeah this is the first time it's mostly worked
[00:44] <phantomcircuit> oh well
[00:44] <sproc> (I need to append '--debug' there)
[00:45] <t13_> d
[00:46] <phantomcircuit> ooh usb3 hdd
[00:46] <phantomcircuit> forgot i had this
[00:47] <Saeid> JustBerry: Hi, what is your problem ?
[00:47] <eikon81g> phantomcircuit: must be nice..
[00:47] <JustBerry> Saeid: I'm trying to implement http://www.reamaze.com/api in Google Script, as I'm trying to have it update the number of "conversations" from the API periodically, and email users when the amount of conversations has surpassed a certain amount. Anyone mind taking a look/helping? Thanks!
[00:49] <est31> so the wine package is installed, but still it doesnt work
[00:49] <est31> wine-gecko
[00:49] <est31> precise name: "wine-gecko2.21"
[00:50] <eikon81g> phantomcircuit, do you like gnome better than xfce?
[00:50] <JustBerry> Saeid: Ideas? Maybe you know a channel or user I can ask?
[00:50] <t13_> est31 what do you trying for?
[00:51] <phantomcircuit> eikon81g, im used to it
[00:51] <est31> t13_, eventually I want to get steam running with wine, as the game I want to play doesn't have a native version, and its installer fails
[00:51] <phantomcircuit> that's all really
[00:51] <est31> t13_, so, I try to install steam, but installing reports exit code 79.
[00:51] <eikon81g> right on.. I am just getting started with Linux and so far I've learned quite a bit and am enjoying it I was thinking of trying a few other flavors..
[00:52] <spartacus_> Ben64: I tester your ppa and it doesn't work lightdm don't show up
[00:52] <spartacus_> Ben64: after the ubuntu loading it freezes everything black
[00:52] <t13_> est31  do you tryied play on linux ?
[00:53] <t13_> est31:lot of games work better than wine...i think...
[00:53] <Ben64> spartacus_: well its not "my" ppa
[00:54] <spartacus_> Ben64: sorry for my english when I said your ppa I meant the ppa that you giver to me
[00:54] <est31> t13_, isn't it just a frontend for wine?
[00:55] <Ben64> spartacus_: pastebin xorg log and whatever else
[00:56] <t13_> est31 : i guess , but there you can find  preconfig for well-known apps - games  , maybe you figure out that way... :)
[00:57] <est31> t13_, ill try
[00:58] <spartacus_> Ben64: The thing is I purged nvidia-346 and now it works fine and I have the nvidia-settings with the prime-profiles. But I think it's a sort of illusion because I removed nvidia-346. I'll post you some infos.
[00:58] <dw1> hey ubuntu can you get this php patch in? https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61285
[00:59] <spartacus_> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10533183/
[00:59] <IdleOne> dw1: report bug/feature requests to launchpad.net
[01:00] <dw1> guess ill just try to update php
[01:00] <est31> dw1, only stable releases go into linux distros.
[01:01] <dw1> yeah, could be a while
[01:01] <dw1> were i to wait
[01:02] <xjkx> I didn't install cups, I just plugged my printer and it worked, but, how do I see the pool of printing now?
[01:02] <dw1> maybe i can patch teh ubuntu source of the same version im using
[01:02] <est31> dw1, this means, you will have to wait until a php version gets released that has that fix included
[01:02] <est31> dw1, only on very rare occasions maintainers apply their own patches.
[01:02] <est31> also, the fact that a new php version got released doesn't mean it will immediately be available to you
[01:03] <est31> dw1, thats possible yes
[01:03] <spartacus_> Ben64: xorg http://paste.ubuntu.com/10533227/
[01:03] <est31> dw1, follow this guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/81870/how-to-download-modify-build-and-install-a-debian-source-package
[01:03] <dw1> thanks
[01:05] <est31> t13_, thanks steam installs
[01:05] <spartacus_> Ben64: http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/32186351sa.png and dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/10533246/
[01:06] <t13_> est31 you welcome :)  lets see if everything work properly ...
[01:13] <LMNOP> hi
[01:13] <Ben64> spartacus_: you have a 610M... you can use the normal ubuntu driver
[01:14] <LMNOP> hullo?
[01:16] <airtonix-work> gnome-shell seems to be ignoring "workspaces only on primary monitor" settings. any ideas?
[01:27] <eikon81g_> hey how can I take permission of a folder? the one I need to have access to is /pulse
[01:27] <eikon81g_> I thought it was chown
[01:28] <Janus_AQ> Hello, is it safe to install Gnome 3 alongside Unity in Ubuntu 14.10?
[01:29] <alvin1> eikon81g_: This might help http://linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php
[01:29] <eikon81g_> k thx yea I had my syntax messed up
[01:30] <alvin1> eikon81g_: np. I always forget syntax :)
[01:30] <eikon81g_> :) I am just learning it! lol
[01:30] <alvin1> Janus_AQ: I haven't done this personally but it should be safe. I would recommend testing it on virtual machine first. Just to be sure :)
[01:31] <alvin1> eikon81g_: We all start somewhere. No need to apologies :)
[01:31] <Janus_AQ> alvin1: thanks mate! I am so tired that I decided to come check it here instead
[01:32] <alvin1> eikon81g_: Check this out. Its a great resource for learning Linux. https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-2#.VPeyCXWUfCI
[01:32] <Janus_AQ> I guess it is best to install it on Arch
[01:33] <alvin1> Janus_AQ: np. Sorry I don't have any experience with Arch. Let me know how you get on.
[01:34] <eikon81g_> alvin1, thanks a million I will soak some info up :)
[01:39] <angrycoast> I tried to create a hidden file on my desktop by adding a dot in front and now I can't remove it or rename it
[01:40] <eikon81g_> angry right click it hit properties
[01:40] <eikon81g_> and check the permissions
[01:40] <eikon81g_> you could also use the terminal and mv it
[01:40] <angrycoast> everything says unknown when I try that
[01:41] <alvin1> eikon81g_: This book is free and is probably one of the best I've read. Highly recommended. http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php
[01:41] <eikon81g_> thanks for that as well I am saving all this info :)
[01:41] <angrycoast> OK I'm going to try to mv it to trash
[01:41] <alvin1> eikon81g_: No problem mate.
[01:42] <eikon81g_> that might work angry or try to chown it in terminal possibly then trash it
[01:42] <eikon81g_> I am just throwing out suggestions I am a noob to linux too
[01:42] <angrycoast> oh yah the weird thing is it doesn't come up when I do ls -a in the Desktop directory
[01:42] <eikon81g_> that is goofy
[01:43] <eikon81g_> I take it you can't rename it..?
[01:43] <angrycoast> lol it's not really a big deal it's just bugging me
[01:43] <angrycoast> nope

[02:01] <slayerofpeace1> hello, I'm currently having one heck of time trying to install ubuntu 14.04 on my server rig
[02:01] <slayerofpeace1> anyone willing to help me out?
[02:02] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, tell us more about it.
[02:02] <rpp601> slayerofpeace1, where are you stuck
[02:02] <slayerofpeace1> im running a asus z10pa8d 32 gig ram 2 xeon 2500 cpus
[02:03] <slayerofpeace1> the install crashes at random points
[02:04] <slayerofpeace1> i only know it crashes because the num lock scroll lock and caps lock blink repeatedly
[02:04] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, do you have a latest BIOS on it?
[02:04] <slayerofpeace1> i do
[02:04] <slayerofpeace1> each cpu has 16 gig ram
[02:05] <buddd> i need to create a directory and link to sys.path, apparently, to store my python modules
[02:06] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, crashes are totally random?
[02:06] <slayerofpeace1> yes totally ramdom
[02:06] <LinuxGold> 16 Eb per CPU
[02:07] <LinuxGold> :P
[02:07] <eikon81g_> sick.
[02:07] <slayerofpeace1> sometimes its during language set up
[02:07] <slayerofpeace1> other during extraction and install
[02:08] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, what kind of disk setup you have on that rig?
[02:08] <slayerofpeace1> i said the wrong cpu number sorry its a xeon 2620
[02:08] <slayerofpeace1> i was trying to install to usb, but when i tryed to a wd500 black it also didnt install
[02:09] <slayerofpeace1> i installed win7 to check if it was a hardware issue
[02:09] <slayerofpeace1> and win7 installed so fast it made me cry a lil
[02:10] <Bashing-om> !md5sum | slayerofpeace1 ??
[02:10] <slayerofpeace1> checked md5 and they checked out
[02:13] <slayerofpeace1> i also installed the version of ubuntu i have on a vm on my pc im using right now and it worked fine
[02:13] <slayerofpeace1> i thought that it might be messed up even with a fine md5
[02:14] <slayerofpeace1> but installed fine on the vm :(
[02:15] <Bashing-om> slayerofpeace1: Mind you, a lot I do not know, but is there a keyboard and monitor connected ? are you trying to install from remote ?
[02:15] <slayerofpeace1> keyboard monitor and mouse are connected
[02:16] <slayerofpeace1> i tried install from cd, usb, and network
[02:17] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, Have you tried any other distributions like Fedora for example?
[02:18] <slayerofpeace1> no, just 14.04 and 12.04
[02:18] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, How it crashes by the way? freezing or just reboots?
[02:19] <slayerofpeace1> freeze the keyboard lights flashing
[02:19] <slayerofpeace1> freeze with keyboardlights flashing
[02:20] <ChrisP1948> #ubuntu-bugs
[02:20] <slayerofpeace1> sorry about my noobishness btw
[02:23] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, Could you try some other distribution or perhaps latest Ubuntu beta release? to determine is it installer bug or something else.
[02:24] <slayerofpeace1> ok, ill try the beta tomorrow after work and if that fails ill try fedora
[02:25] <slayerofpeace1> any distro you would recomend for a cloud server/firewall/mail/anything else i can think of later :)
[02:26] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, Personal or business use?
[02:26] <slayerofpeace1> personal
[02:27] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, my personal time goes with FreeBSD, Fedora and sometimes with Ubuntu as well. Probably Fedora and Ubuntu are suitable for your needs.
[02:28] <slayerofpeace1> ok :), ill try beta and hope it works
[02:30] <slayerofpeace1> thank you for the advise :)
[02:30] <galeido> slayerofpeace1, np
[02:36] <aurorauser> is there anyway to provide user auth to an exported NFS share?
[02:39] <galeido> aurorauser, NFSv4 has some new features for that. =)
[02:46] <EddieFTW> hey.I am ahving an issue
[02:46] <EddieFTW> I did adduser gmod and set the passwd
[02:47] <EddieFTW> whenever I login, it says incorrect password. I have SSH keys but I didnt set them up because no idea how
[02:47] <EddieFTW> I even set the password to 123 and it still says that. any reason why?
[02:48] <EddieFTW> well this guy has a nice answer "[21:47] <mustardz> You faggot. Forgetting passwords" except it  doesn't actually help me
[02:50] <NegativeFlare> EddieFTW: did you do this: sudo passwd <user>
[02:50] <EddieFTW> I did passwd username and changed it
[02:50] <EddieFTW> it says "passwd: password updated successfully" so I login to gmod and enter the pass and says denied
[02:51] <EddieFTW> it also says server key refused but I dont know how to set mine xP
[02:51] <est31> EddieFTW, do you try to log in with ssh?
[02:51] <EddieFTW> yes...
[02:51] <EddieFTW> ubuntu server..dedi server...
[02:51] <est31> it might be that password login is disabled
[02:52] <EddieFTW> but how come on other users, we can use passwords?
[02:52] <est31> it still shows a "please provide password" message
[02:52] <EddieFTW> my system admin isnt on so I cant ask him
[02:52] <EddieFTW> "[21:52] <mustardz> est31 Will suck your cock."
[02:52] <EddieFTW> how do I ignore him?
[02:53] <eikon81g> "/IGNORE <nick>."

[02:54] <est31> eikon81g, how can I make ip based ignoring?
[02:55] <NegativeFlare> !troll
[02:55] <NegativeFlare> oh, they removed that
[02:55] <somsip> !ignore | est31 (or report it in #ubuntu-ops)
[02:56] <eikon81g> if your client allows you to ignore by hostmask, you may be able to use this command, which works in mIRC:
[02:56] <eikon81g>     /IGNORE *!*@protectedhost-ABCDEFG.fios.wi.cheesehead.net
[02:56]  * est31 does /IGNORE *!*@109.206.186.88
[02:57] <eikon81g> lol
[02:57] <est31> oh should have been /IGNORE *!*@109.206.186.88 ALL
[02:58] <eikon81g>  "mustardz> You must be an educated nigger" LOLLL
[02:58] <eikon81g> lol good stuff

[03:00] <zerovertex> How do I get L2TP VPN options in Network Manager on 14.10? I've googled the shit out of it. Is Shrew VPN my only option?
[03:01] <crownsjew> Hey catz

[03:33] <somsip> Janus_AQ: /etc/X11 but it is not created by default nowadays

[03:34] <Janus_AQ> is there a "proper" way to do that?

[03:36] <zerovertex> Does L2TP VPN work in Network Manager on Ubuntu 14.04.2?
[03:49] <pythonideus> Can someone please help me with installing Ubuntu? I tried unbetbootin and that didn't work so I made a bootable flash drive and went through the whole installation process, but after I restarted it my computer didn't boot into Ubuntu. I just see Windows 7 and Unetbootin as options for loading, even though I did "erase drive" when I was in installation types
[03:50] <pythonideus> when I try to boot from the flash drive again I just get taken to a command prompt type thingy with (initramfs):

[04:29] <emash> Guys, i need some help. I created an encrypted ubuntu install on an usb stick just to find out that it's on mbr. How do i get what i want?
[04:34] <export> emash: i don't spend much time working with encrypted filesystems but i thought the encryption/decryption process was handled by the initrd
[04:35] <emash> export, as far as i see it is possible but it requires some tinkering. In perfection i want an encrypted ubuntu on a usb stick that is able to boot with uefi and with bios
[04:36] <emash> like here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS#Make_a_system_bootable_in_UEFI_as_well_as_BIOS
[04:36] <export> emash: i didn't see where you said you needed gpt for uefi.
[04:36] <emash> so where do i start?
[04:37] <export> emash: i'm not entirely sure, with my lack of knowledge i'd just start over if nothing to lose.

[04:53] <Gerowen> Question.  I'm using ogmrip to rip a DVD iso I have, and I need to rip a subtitle track along with it.  The movie is Star Trek 3 - The Search for Spock, and subtitle track 9 is the Klingon subtitle so that in the couple of instances where they speak Klingon it prints in English what they say.  Problem being, ogmrip only shows 8 subtitle tracks.
[04:53] <Gerowen> When playing the ISO mounted in VLC as a DVD and clicking "Play", it defaults to that subtitle track and shows it as track 9.

[05:22] <wandering_golem> I have no idea how to approach this problem.

[05:29] <Coolmariodude> Hi, If i install ubuntu on Raspberry pi could i make a alarm clock with it?
[05:31] <beltorak> hi all; i recently tried to compile and install the realtek drivers, but it didn't work so I uninstalled them. of course this deleted the original kernel sound modules. how do i force a reinstall of the modules?
[05:34] <atal421> can anyone recommend a way for me to install reasonable command line defaults in ubuntu for rails developoment. i'm setting up a rails Env in ubuntu server but vim looks terrible, and commandline is ugly too. no git support, ugly colors, etc... anyone have any recommendations, i'm not very familiar with ubuntu
[05:39] <beltorak> hi atal421; i'm curious as to what you mean by "reasonable command line defaults for rails development"
[05:41] <atal421> beltorak: lots of rails devs like to see the git branch in the terminal, the status as well. clear and easy to read color separation, etc...
[05:42] <beltorak> i've seen lots of shell prompts that do that; what shell are you partial to?
[05:42] <wandering_golem> coolmariodude I see absolutely no reason why not.
[05:42] <wandering_golem> oh wait he left
[05:42] <atal421> beltorak: great, excause my question
[05:43] <atal421> so it's called a "shell" :-)
[05:43] <atal421> so, i don't know what i'm partial to
[05:43] <atal421> in OSX i user Iterm2, with a IR_Black theme, and oh-my-zsh... and bam, everything looks pretty
[05:44] <beltorak> ok; zsh is the actual shell then
[05:44] <beltorak> alternatives would be bash, csh, ksh, etc
[05:44] <beltorak> here's one: https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt
[05:44] <atal421> nice, so i'm looking for shells
[05:44] <atal421> great!
[05:45] <atal421> beltorak: what is the most popular one for ubuntu?
[05:45] <atal421> i just want a lot of support, i don't live on the edge
[05:46] <beltorak> I don't know if ubuntu devs like that; personally i'd prefer to keep that sort of thing out of my prompt.... since it seems to be common to rails developers you might ask them that dev on linux what they prefer
[05:46] <beltorak> here's another: http://sebastiancelis.com/2009/11/16/zsh-prompt-git-users/
[05:47] <beltorak> and you aren't looking for shells, you are running zsh, you are looking for how to make the prompt prettier
[05:47] <atal421> beltorak: gotcha
[05:47] <atal421> so wait
[05:47] <atal421> do i have to lunch the shell after login
[05:47] <atal421> so login to ubuntu
[05:47] <atal421> then run something like: $ zsh
[05:48] <beltorak> yeah, but you can typically do "exec zsh -l"
[05:48] <atal421> open the shell, i'm then in the shell
[05:48] <beltorak> you might want to configure your terminal .... lterm2? to run zsh as a login shell
[05:48] <beltorak> but you might not have to
[05:48] <atal421> ubuntu doesn't have iterm2, does it?
[05:49] <beltorak> i dunno; i'm partial to kde (which uses konsole)
[05:49] <atal421> this is ubuntu server, no desktop
[05:49] <beltorak> in which case the term is whatever I am using to ssh into the server....
[05:49] <beltorak> kde/konsole, cygwin
[05:50] <atal421> ok, so i need to ssh into my ubuntu server, and then have the shell be my default shell... would that be zsh?
[05:51] <beltorak> yeah, if you like zsh
[05:51] <beltorak> and install the zsh prompt prettyfiers into the server
[05:51] <atal421> beltorak: great, i know what to chase after now. thank you for the tips
[05:52] <beltorak> sure thing
[06:20] <devil_> will vivid have choice in grub between systemd and upstart?
[06:21] <devil_> I was reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1427654, but that did not make it clear for me
[06:22] <devil_> heh, just read that :)
[06:22] <devil_> and from my understanding upstart will be removed. but then it will not be there to choose in grub

[06:46] <wkl> hi,  kernel of 14.04.2 is upgraded to 3.16.  but why linux-source is still 3.13?
[07:04] <pythonideus> Can anyone here help me install ubuntu 14.04?
[07:06] <wandering_golem> pythonideus, What did you need?
[07:06] <wandering_golem> Like, I'm relatively new but I can see if I can help.
[07:06] <pythonideus> I've been trying to get ubuntu on my laptop all day
[07:07] <pythonideus> I had Windows 7 on the laptop and I wanted to get ubuntu so I got unbetbootin to try and install it but when I went through the install process it asked me to manually partition drives and I had no idea what I was doing so I made a bootable usb
[07:08] <pythonideus> but when I went through the install process on that I had the option to erase everything on the drive and download ubuntu and the process went fine until I restarted and it turned out nothing had changed
[07:08] <pythonideus> and I can't get on ubuntu without the usb drive and when I use that I get a bunch of errors
[07:08] <bindi> umm
[07:08] <pythonideus> google hasn't helped one bit
[07:09] <pythonideus> currently I'm trying to get onto the shitty version of ubuntu that unetbootin can log into and then I'm going to try to format my harddrive
[07:09] <cfhowlett> !details | pythonideus,
[07:09] <pythonideus> and then try to install using the usb again
[07:10] <pythonideus> but I don't feel lucky
[07:10] <ubuntu> How can I remove the swap partition after installing ubuntu 14.10
[07:10] <pythonideus> I told you all that I know buckaroo
[07:10] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, first: verify your .iso   that you downloaded.  next: verify the USB you created
[07:10] <cfhowlett> !md5sum
[07:13] <pythonideus> cfhowlett if I was using the wrong ISO would it let me go through the install process and then not remove windows?
[07:13] <pythonideus> well I can't boot windows anymore but I still have the option on start up
[07:14] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, garbage in, garbage out.  verifying your boot media is so simple and bad downloads do happen.
[07:15] <gfsfx> Any luck building Wireshark from source on 14.04 and getting capture interfaces to appear? Please let me know your secret(s). I've been at this for a while.
[07:15] <ubuntuman> hi!
[07:16] <pythonideus> cfhowlett do you think that using the wrong version would cause me to run into those problems?
[07:16] <pythonideus> I just realized that I should try the x86 version. I was trying to install 64 bit
[07:16] <pythonideus> I mean my windows was 64 bit but who knows
[07:16] <cfhowlett> I think by now you could have performed BOTH checks and we wouldn't have to ask these questions anymore
[07:16] <cfhowlett> )
[07:17] <pythonideus> cfhowlett the page you linked doesn't give a dl link to md5sum
[07:17] <cfhowlett> what's your version?
[07:17] <pythonideus> I'm on windows 7 atm
[07:17] <cfhowlett> UBUNTU version?
[07:17] <pythonideus> 14.04.2
[07:18] <cfhowlett> http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/MD5SUMS
[07:19] <pythonideus> cfhowlett I meant a download for the md5sum program
[07:20] <Xinliang> \join #linaro-android
[07:22] <rww> pythonideus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows mentions a few
[07:23] <pythonideus> okay I verified it
[07:23] <pythonideus> the iso I used is the same as the one listed on ubuntuhashes
[07:23] <cfhowlett> good.  verify the USB
[07:24] <nef0> hey guys, can someone suggest me an open source alternative for sublime text that is NOT written in javascript or runs chromium in the background or any cr*p like that?
[07:24] <nef0> i love vim but it doesn't interact that well with other gui stuff
[07:25] <pythonideus> I'm trying to validate the usb but Windows is telling me the usb isn't accessible and I need to format it to use it
[07:25] <pythonideus> I think because I used it to set up ubuntu already
[07:25] <pythonideus> maybe if I format it and make it a bootable drive again?
[07:25] <gfsfx> Can you build Notepad++ from source on Linux?
[07:25] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, USB's fail frequently. try a different one
[07:26] <pythonideus> cfhowlett I only have the one, give me a minute I'll format it
[07:26] <cfhowlett> fat32
[07:28] <nef0> as i see it strongly relies on the win32 api
[07:28] <nef0> so not really the way i guess
[07:33] <pythonideus> okay I fixed the drive
[07:34] <pythonideus> setting it up as a bootable drive then I'll verify the md5sum hash
[07:34] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, :)
[07:34] <pythonideus> windows is still telling me I need to format the drive to use it :/
[07:35] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, fat32, right?
[07:35] <pythonideus> nevermind that was a pop up from earlier
[07:35] <pythonideus> usb installer is still making it a bootable drive
[07:35] <pythonideus> hey cfhowlett
[07:36] <pythonideus> on my laptop I was able to boot into Unetbootin
[07:36] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, OK ...
[07:36] <pythonideus> so I'm on ubuntu on it but nothing will save until I go through the install process
[07:36] <pythonideus> but when I do that nothing happens
[07:36] <pythonideus> so, considering that I'm in a usable ubuntu system, is there a way for me to install ubuntu permanently and format the hard drive?
[07:36] <pythonideus> the install program doesn't work
[07:36] <cfhowlett> so NO changes to system on rebooting?
[07:37] <pythonideus> correct
[07:37] <pythonideus> well no
[07:37] <pythonideus> it made Windows 7 unusable
[07:37] <pythonideus> but other than that
[07:37] <cfhowlett> um, that would count as a "change" ...
[07:37] <pythonideus> and with unetbootin, when I get to the "Installation type" page it makes me manually partition the drives -_-
[07:38] <pythonideus> one time I got it to let me select "Erase and..." whatever that option says
[07:38] <pythonideus> but then it didn't do anything
[07:38] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, which is what you want!
[07:38] <pythonideus> I know it's what I want it just doesn't work lol
[07:38] <pythonideus> I've installed ubuntu before, it's on my solid state drive
[07:38] <pythonideus> but I've never done it on a system that already had an OS
[07:39] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, suggestion: fix windows first.  then fix the ubuntu. you'll thank us later for saving your sanity.
[07:39] <pythonideus> I don't want windows on the system though :/
[07:39] <pythonideus> do you think formatting the hdd and using the flash drive would work?
[07:41] <pythonideus> okay usb installer finished making the flash drive bootable
[07:41] <pythonideus> how do I do the md5sum check? there's no iso file on the drive
[07:41] <cfhowlett> pythonideus, do this: boot ubuntu.  "TRY ubuntu".  start gparted.  delete the partitions from the HDD.  make a new partition.  then run the installer
[07:41] <pythonideus> it's all unpacked
[07:48] <pythonideus> try ubuntu takes a long time to load on my slow-ass computer, hope you're still here when I finally manage to follow your directions cfhowlett
[07:50] <wandering_golem> Could one use the AUR in ubuntu?
[07:53] <jpds> wandering_golem: No.
[07:57] <wandering_golem> jpds, Why?
[07:57] <jpds> wandering_golem: Because Arch uses pacman and Debian apt/dpkg ?
[07:57] <jpds> wandering_golem: It's like putting diesel in your petrol car.
[07:57] <Stovetop> has anyone else seen a problem with the latest ubuntu where you can't manually set DNS in resolv.conf when using DHCP?  all the normal workarounds don't seem to work
[07:57] <jpds> Stovetop: I can.
[07:58] <Stovetop> so is resolvconf just broken with dhcp now?
[07:59] <jpds> Stovetop: Are you sure that DHCP isn't just overriding your manual set entries when it refreshes?
[07:59] <jpds> Stovetop: NetworkManager lets you set additional DNS servers in the GUI.
[08:00] <Stovetop> yeah, dhcp is running roughshod over all settings to the contrary - had to turn it off
[08:01] <Stovetop> just wondering if anyone else had noticed this new behaviour - it didn't used to happen
[08:01] <rpp601> what's the best app to run a virtual copy of windows in ubuntu? sort of like vmware player
[08:01] <jpds> rpp601: VirtualBox?
[08:02] <rpp601> i'll check it out jpds
[08:06] <pythonideus> I'm trying to delete partitions with gparted but there's a little key next to them
[08:06] <pythonideus> how do I delete them?
[08:12] <Ben64> pythonideus: right click, unmount
[08:23] <zetheroo> I am trying to install a package but am getting "unmet dependencies" error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536546/
[08:23] <zetheroo> package I am trying to install is gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386
[08:26] <atal421> i'm trying to use tmux on ubuntu server but Ctrl+b isn't working. what are my options?
[08:26] <atal421> (ubuntu server means no desktop view)
[08:27] <Seveas> atal421: check your tmux config, maybe you mapped another keycombo to what ctrl+b usually does
[08:27] <atal421> Seveas: never used tmux, i'm all ears
[08:28] <atal421> Seveas: i'm ssh-ing into the server. wouldn't that mean i don't have Ctrl+b
[08:28] <Seveas> atal421: neh, ctrl+b should just work unless your terminal emulator intercepts it.
[08:28] <Seveas> and no terminal emulator on linux that I know of does this by default.
[08:29] <atal421> interesting, maybe i don't know how to click on "Ctrol + b and then %"
[08:29] <Seveas> which terminal emulator do you use?
[08:29] <Seveas> gnome-terminal, terminator, kterm, xterm...?
[08:30] <atal421> using iTerm2 on my side (osx). ssh into ubuntu server 14.04. using bash and then into tmux
[08:30] <atal421> does that answer the question?
[08:30] <Ben64> zetheroo: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 libmimic0:i386 libmodplug1:i386 libopus0:i386"
[08:31] <zetheroo> Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536612/
[08:32] <Ben64> zetheroo: that ppa is messing you up
[08:33] <Seveas> atal421: yes. But I don't have an answer I'm afraid.If you have not done any tmux config, ctrl-b not working means that the ctrl-b isn't reaching tmux, so something on your mac or in iterm2 must be intercepting it.
[08:33] <atal421> Seveas: gotcha
[08:33] <atal421> thanks
[08:33] <atal421> looking into it now
[08:34] <zetheroo> Ben64: this one " 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages" ?
[08:36] <zetheroo> Ben64: I just added the above ppa to try and fix the issue ... I have removed it now again and here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536656/
[08:40] <TheNumb> zetheroo: apt-mark showhold
[08:43] <Ben64> zetheroo: what is your goal
[08:45] <zetheroo>  TheNumb: no output
[08:45] <zetheroo> Ben64: to install that package ... :)
[08:45] <zetheroo> Arista Transcoder needs it
[08:46] <Ben64> zetheroo: nobody has a goal of "i want to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386"
[08:46] <Ben64> why are you trying to install the 32bit version though
[08:46] <zetheroo> Ben64: yes, it's what the Arista Transcoder GUI tries to install but fails with unmet deps
[08:47] <zetheroo> so I was trying from the terminal
[08:48] <Ben64> zetheroo: have you tried "sudo apt-get install arista"
[08:48] <zetheroo> Ben64: output from GUI trying to install gstreamer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536751/
[08:48] <zetheroo> Ben64: Arista is already installed - but when attempting a conversion it wants to install gstreamer plugins
[08:48] <Ben64> and still why are you installing 32 bit
[08:49] <zetheroo> I am not - Arista is :D
[08:49] <Ben64> did you install it from the repository like i showed above? or some other way
[08:49] <zetheroo> I installed arista via SPM
[08:49] <Ben64> idk what that is
[08:49] <zetheroo> Synaptic Package Manager
[08:50] <zetheroo> sorry
[08:50] <ptrxyz> Hello! I have some general question about isolating users: Let's say I am running a computing cluster and my 20.000 users get identified by LDAP. On each machine, a system service is running using a local user id. How can I create a folder for each user, that is write/readable only by that user and the system service?
[08:50] <ptrxyz> Do I have to create groups for each user and put the service in all of them and then create a folder with '770' permissions? Isn't there a better way...? Somehow it feels wrong to have the system service be in 20k groups ... :D
[08:53] <Ben64> zetheroo: could be a bug in the program
[08:53] <zetheroo> Ben64: so it's not possible to install 32bit software in 64bit Ubuntu?
[08:53] <zetheroo> I was under the impression this was possible ...
[08:54] <Ben64> zetheroo: it is possible, the problem is the libraries it wants you already have as 64bit, and they conflict
[08:54] <Ben64> the software should use the 64bit libraries, and its not for some reason
[08:55] <nwe> hello, how should I do to get snmpd mibs-extended?
[08:57] <zetheroo> Ben64, hmm ok
[09:05] <vlt> ptrxyz: I'm not sure, either, but I think UNIX’s traditional permissions model only allows it this way. But there’s also "acl" to grant access rights to a certain user. The file system has to be mounted in a way to support acl and a tool to edit permissions is setfacl. That's all I know :-D

[09:28] <bustershin> any fix on rt3290 bluetooth? wifi is good ubuntu 14.04
[09:29] <bustershin> used the guide and i was able to activate bluetooth but cant add/pair device
[09:40] <JohnDoe222> is dual booting with ubuntu and windows 7 difficult?
[09:40] <JohnDoe222> I get to the partitioning part and get confused.
[09:41] <hateball> !dualboot
[09:42] <JohnDoe222> ok
[09:42] <JohnDoe222> does ubuntu have easily accesible software
[09:42] <bustershin> any fix on rt3290 bluetooth? wifi is good ubuntu 14.04
[09:42] <bustershin> used the guide and i was able to activate bluetooth but cant add/pair device
[09:56] <vagvaf> hello, when i'm trying to boot in my ubuntu 14,04 i get a kernel panic. by booting from a live usb and doing an ls -l on my / i see that /usr and /lib directories have ??? on every column of their line...
[09:58] <teraliv_> Can I read db with sqlite3 in non-interactive mode ? I mean not opening a sqlite shell, to be able to 'read' straight from command line
[09:59] <ikonia> vagvaf: what is the error on the kernel panic
[09:59] <ikonia> teraliv_: no
[09:59] <ikonia> teraliv_: you can qyery it from the shell making calls to the sqlite api libs
[09:59] <teraliv_> Can I execute the query from stdin ?
[10:00] <ikonia> teraliv_: yes
[10:00] <teraliv_> I mean even if it spawns a shell, Can I do one line command to read the file db file as well ?
[10:00] <ikonia> you can call the sqlite api to make queries
[10:01] <ikonia> you can't query a database without interacting with the database via an api
[10:01] <teraliv_> i Know that
[10:01] <ikonia> then why are you asking ?
[10:01] <teraliv_> I need something like "sqlite --read 'x.sql' "
[10:01] <ikonia> that doesn't exist
[10:01] <teraliv_> well I got a seg fault crash by givining a malfored sql
[10:02] <teraliv_> I want to debug with gdb
[10:02] <ikonia> you need to use either the api or a client
[10:02] <teraliv_> but I'm not quite sure if I can debug in interactive mode so therefore I will probably attach to the PID of the lib while executing sql queries from the sqlshell
[10:03] <teraliv_> malformed*
[10:04] <vagvaf> ikonia, this is the message i'm getting: http://postimg.org/image/dzo8t5wkp/
[10:06] <ikonia> vagvaf: need text above that
[10:06] <vagvaf> ikonia, i'm not sure how to get it...
[10:13] <vagvaf> ikonia, do u you know hoa to get the previous log from the live usb ?
[10:13] <ikonia> it's not a log
[10:13] <ikonia> it's a kenrel panic
[10:13] <ikonia> bottom line is - there is something wrong with your disk, you need to work that out and fix it / re-install it
[10:15] <vagvaf> ikonia, i run a self test from the disk utility and it found no errors...
[10:15] <ikonia> clearly there is
[10:15] <ikonia> self test is a hardware checker,
[10:21] <golubev> ollo
[10:23] <iptable> teraliv_, can't you just log all queries that happen to your sqlite DB?
[10:25] <iptable> teraliv_, also, you can use sqlit3 client without hacing to enter it's shell by giving it the sql as a parameter
[10:27] <iptable> vagvaf, 1. install smartmontools, 2. run smartctl -a /dev/sda, 3. see if it's PASSED. 4. Run a full read test (dd or another) to /dev/null and see if it can read the whole drive. Just because SMART says PASSED doesn't mean the HDD works. If the read passes, your HDD most likely works (we haven't checked write)
[10:27] <iptable> vagvaf, also, run fsck on the partitions on /dev/sda
[10:28] <vagvaf> iptable, thanks
[10:28] <iptable> morning ikonia, long time no fix ;)
[10:33] <Guest43910> I have a problem in Code Blocks codding C++. Can anyone assist me?
[10:33] <d0de> In the default Ubuntu launcher, multiple windows or instances of a program are all represented by the same single icon in the taskbar. Is there a way to get each instance of a program to have a separate entry in the taskbar (like on windows :S ) ?
[10:36] <hai> hello
[10:36] <White_Cat_> hmm
[10:36] <White_Cat_> I am having connection issues with WinSCP to my ubuntu server
[10:36] <hai> I don't understand tar -cvf
[10:36] <White_Cat_> why could this be?
[10:37] <ikonia> depends on the error
[10:37] <ikonia> saying "I"m having issues" gives no information
[10:37] <White_Cat_> ineed
[10:37] <White_Cat_> I get "Host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds. Still waiting..." after I transfe rsomehting like 4kbs
[10:37] <Ben64> hai: what exactly do you not understand? the man page for tar explains all those switches
[10:37] <White_Cat_> I do transfer the 1kb file
[10:37] <hai> @White_cat you can copy your info in WIN
[10:37] <White_Cat_> and I can see folders and files
[10:37] <vagvaf> iptable, this is the the output of fsck : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537647/
[10:37] <hai> Wnscp
[10:38] <White_Cat_> what information do you want me to copy?
[10:38] <hai> @Beb64 I'm not good at English
[10:38] <hai> I think use tar as zip -r
[10:38] <ikonia> White_Cat_: http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_host_is_not_communicating
[10:38] <ikonia> White_Cat_: first hit on google - explains why the client is erroring
[10:38] <hai> but in labs of linux foundation on EDX
[10:38] <ikonia> so debuging what the server is doing, or testing with another client seeems logical
[10:38] <hai> use tar -cvf to backup
[10:39] <White_Cat_> ikonia best thing I got was "I get "Host is not communicating for more than 15 seconds. Still waiting..." "
[10:39] <hai> @Ben64 hi ben
[10:39] <White_Cat_> which didnt help
[10:39] <Ben64> hai: not sure what your question is
[10:39] <ikonia> White_Cat_: yes it did
[10:39] <Guest51004> Hello, please could someone advise me on how to get Java working on my new Ubuntu?
[10:39] <ikonia> White_Cat_: I just gave you the link for that error
[10:39] <ikonia> top link
[10:39] <Ben64> !java | Guest51004
[10:39] <hai> A homework is "use tar to backup home directory"
[10:40] <hai> Can I use zip -r to backup?
[10:40] <White_Cat_> ikonia and I told you that I ried following the directions on that page already
[10:40] <White_Cat_> before asking here
[10:40] <Ben64> hai: zip is not tar
[10:40] <Guest51004> Yes, I am installing the JRE, but I'm getting an error about dependencies.
[10:40] <ikonia> White_Cat_: what directions on that page ?
[10:40] <Ben64> Guest51004: pastebin the error
[10:40] <hai> ok
[10:40] <White_Cat_> "http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_host_is_not_communicating"
[10:40] <White_Cat_> err
[10:40] <White_Cat_> "If the problem repeats, try turning off Optimize connection buffer size."
[10:40] <Guest51004> openjdk-7-jre: Depends: openjdk-7-jre-headless (= 7u51-2.4.6-1ubuntu4) but 7u51-2.4.6-1ubuntu4 is to be installed                Depends: libjpeg8 (>= 8c) but 8c-2ubuntu8 is to be installed                Depends: libpulse0 (>= 1:0.99.1) but 1:4.0-0ubuntu11.1 is to be installed
[10:40] <hai> I think zip easy to use
[10:40] <ikonia> White_Cat_: right, so you know why the error is happening,
[10:40] <White_Cat_> I dont know why it is happening
[10:41] <hai> Can you compare between zip and tar
[10:41] <ikonia> White_Cat_: so you need to work out what the server is doing - test with a different client
[10:41] <iptable> vagvaf, try running the smart and read tests first, as stated
[10:41] <White_Cat_> turning it off didnt fix
[10:41] <ikonia> White_Cat_: what have you done to move this forward
[10:41] <iptable> vagvaf, it appears your HDD ay be dying
[10:41] <Guest51004> Ben, is that helpful?
[10:41] <Ben64> Guest51004: that's not a pastebin...
[10:41] <White_Cat_> ikonia I am unsure the source of the problem
[10:41] <Guest51004> what is a pastebin, Ben?
[10:41] <Guest51004> I"m new here
[10:41] <ikonia> White_Cat_: so that link tells you it's waiting for a response from the server, so what is the server doing ?
[10:42] <Ben64> Guest51004: a website that you post text to, and it gives you a url to share, so you don't flood a place with many lines, its in the topic in this channel too
[10:42] <hai> @Guest pastbin is like your notepad
[10:42] <Guest51004> oh, I think I see the url in the window at the top.  I'll paste it there Thanks
[10:42] <Ben64> Guest51004: what version of ubuntu are you on
[10:42] <hai> @Guest However, it is online, not in your computer
[10:42] <vagvaf> iptable, i did run the smart and read tests first..they passed
[10:43] <Guest51004> Done that Ben
[10:43] <Ben64> Guest51004: now you have to give the link
[10:43] <Guest51004> Version is the latest lts
[10:44] <Ben64> Guest51004: what is the output of "apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre-headless libjpeg8 libpulse0"
[10:45] <hai> tar -cvf in c: c --create, v:  -v, --verbose , f:  -f, --file [HOSTNAME:]F, right?
[10:45] <Ben64> Guest51004: pastebin it and give the url here or nobody can see it
[10:45] <Guest51004> Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[10:45] <ikonia> hai: you're not making any sense ?
[10:45] <ikonia> hai: what do you want ?
[10:45] <Guest51004> Pastebin URL is http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537712/
[10:46] <mcphail> vagvaf: you probably have a hardware failure. I had simialr problems to you with multiple disks. Turned out to be a problem with a batch of SATA cables. Changing cables stopped the errors, although I had to reformat the disk to get things back in order first
[10:46] <hai> I'm sorry
[10:46] <hai> I dont get -c in tar command
[10:46] <ikonia> c = create
[10:47] <hai> how about c
[10:47] <Ben64> c is the same as c, still create
[10:47] <hai> sorry
[10:47] <hai> how about v
[10:47] <hai> ~~
[10:47] <ikonia> hai: verbose
[10:47] <ikonia> hai: read the man page/docs on tar
[10:47] <Ben64> v is verbose... you posted this a few lines up
[10:47] <vagvaf> thanks mcphail
[10:47] <hai> ok but I can't get it
[10:47] <hai> can you description
[10:47] <ikonia> no
[10:47] <hai> thanks
[10:48] <hai> ok thank you very much
[10:48] <hai> My english not good
[10:48] <hai> so sorry
[10:48] <kaea> Trying to change my username following the solution here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username ... How do I access the Terminal without being logged in (also note that I've tried other 'solutions' mentioned and managed to change the username in some places but not others, same goes for computer name. Any fuckup on my part should be fixable right?)
[10:49] <ikonia> kaea: there is no need for bad language, it is not welcome here
[10:49] <kaea> sorry
[10:49] <Guest51004> Ben64, I pasted the result of that command
[10:49] <ikonia> kaea: you need to be able to login to change your username
[10:49] <bullgard6> kaea: You can use a live CD for this purpose.
[10:49] <Ben64> Guest51004: yeah, still waiting for the other one i asked for
[10:50] <Guest51004> OK Ben, let me try again
[10:51] <bullgard6> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames#A15.10: "15.10 (#W) Suggestion for 15.10 : Whacky Worm." -  Did Mark Shuttleworth decide about this name yet?
[10:52] <kaea> ikonia: I can still login, I don't really see what you're getting at
[10:52] <ikonia> bullgard6: that is nothign to do with this channel
[10:52] <ikonia> kaea: if you can login - what's the problem, what's not clear ?
[10:52] <bullgard6> ikonia: You are wrong.
[10:52] <ikonia> bullgard6: no, I'm not, this is ubuntu support
[10:52] <kaea> bullgard6: As in having a Ubuntu living on a USB and starting on that one?
[10:53] <Guest51004> Ben64 - have repeated and pasted the result
[10:54] <Guest51004> Was there something else you wanted me to do?
[10:54] <bullgard6> kaea:  I don't know exactly what "having a Ubuntu living on a USB" means. - Probably yes.
[10:54] <Ben64> Guest51004: firstly it does no good to tell me you've pasted something without giving the url, and I asked for this like 10 minutes ago.... "apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre-headless libjpeg8 libpulse0"
[10:55] <Guest51004> Same URL as earlier, Ben - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537786
[10:55] <Guest51004> Hope this helps
[10:56] <cage_raphel> hi guys.. my wifi switch doesnt seem to turn on .. i use a compaq laptop.. and the wifi switch stays red.. it was working all fine until yesterday.. i am running a ubuntu 14.10
[10:57] <cage_raphel> is there any way to find out if its not a driver issue ?
[10:57] <cage_raphel> in the network wireless page on system settings.. when i press the wifi button.. it simply turns on the aeroplane mode on .
[10:57] <cage_raphel> any help would be much appreciated
[10:58] <Guest51004> Ben64, did you get that URL - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537786
[10:59] <Ben64> Guest51004: yep, looks like  you don't have some important updates, or you have the security repository disabled, and thats causing at least part of the problem
[11:00] <Guest51004> Ah, so I should apply updates?  Curious, because it's a new, clean install
[11:00] <awk> What is "general" practice ... auto update on just security patches?
[11:01] <Ben64> Guest51004: run "sudo apt-get update" first then try again
[11:01] <kaea> ikonia: My 'problem' is that I want to change my username
[11:01] <Guest51004> Ben64:  I have not knowingly disabled any security repository
[11:01] <ikonia> kaea: login, open gui, change username ?
[11:02] <kaea> ikonia: Done, and it doesn't do it cleanly - and I can't do it running usermod this is the only user on the machine it has PIDs running
[11:02] <Guest51004> Thanks Ben64, will do
[11:04] <ikonia> kaea: so either a.) create a new user, b.) use the shell with the usermod flag to change it for after you login
[11:05] <ikonia> kaea: the pid should not effect it
[11:07] <kaea> create new user and just cp everything inside home?
 you mean 'sqlite3 x.sql' ?
[11:10] <Guest51004> Thanks Ben64, that seems to have worked

[11:18] <cfhowlett> !debian | afidegnum
[11:20] <mcphail> laza: hmm, can't replicate that on this machine
[11:20] <mcphail> laza: if I get a chance I'll check on my other machine (which ahsn't been so heavily modified) later. Suspect it is a PAM issue
[11:22] <laza> mcphail: I keep forgetting, that I user krb5 user authentication with pam, so this might be the reason.
[11:22] <mcphail> laza: yep - sounds like it
[11:22] <shodaner> Hi!
[11:22] <stephan__> hi all.
[11:23] <laza> mcphail: But thanks for considering to look into it!!

[11:23] <mcphail> laza: ha! Good luck.

[11:33] <st34lth> tmux?

[11:44] <rpp601> iptable, sort of like an alias, but a function
[11:45] <rpp601> more complex than an alias
[11:45] <rpp601> function name { command1; command2; commandN;}
[11:46] <iptable> rpp601, so bash functions in your shell?
[11:46] <rpp601> iptable, yeah that's the one

[11:57] <iptable> ramsub07, you may. without spaces between the =

[12:00] <Ben64> !latest | night_girl
[12:01] <night_girl> so how can i install a later than 4.8.2?
[12:01] <Ben64> you ... don't
[12:01] <night_girl> why? ...
[12:01] <Ben64> read above
[12:01] <zeprox> why do you need to update?
[12:01] <stephan__> night_girl: compile your own compiler.
[12:02] <night_girl> so my question is, in any later compiler than 4.8.2 do i need to say this tag when using c++11 features? -std=c++11
[12:02] <night_girl> because in 4.8.2 i definitely need it
[12:03] <Meerkat> iptable, thanks. I wanted to avoid a folder in their homes. So /usr/local/share/ is perfect.
[12:04] <kokut> night_girl: try #c
[12:04] <kokut> night_girl: #c++
[12:05] <night_girl> thank you
[12:06] <abcdijt> hi
[12:09] <abcdijt> i want to replace fedora with encrypted lvm with lubuntu 14.10. lubuntu has option to install with encrypted lvm while doing new setup. but it does not ask me encrypted lvm password when i already mount those partitions and make lubuntu install there. how to solve this?
[12:14] <night_girl> is it g++ 4.8.2 the latest compiler we should really install in ubuntu 14.04 ?
[12:14] <Ben64> yep
[12:14] <night_girl> is there any other version of ubuntu that supports a later release?
[12:14] <Ben64> the later releases yes, but they aren't LTS
[12:15] <stephan__> btw. why wouldn't you just build your own compiler?
[12:15] <night_girl> is it difficult to do?
[12:15] <Ben64> or just stay on 4.8.2 ...
[12:15] <night_girl> can i have a later version of g++ in my 14.04 just for testing purposes?
[12:15] <prayvan> so how does this work?
[12:16] <Ben64> prayvan: you ask an ubuntu support question, wait for an answer, follow instructions, etc
[12:16] <EriC^^> prayvan, you ask a question, and wait, if somebody knows they help out
[12:16] <stephan__> http://wiki.osdev.org/Building_GCC
[12:16] <prayvan> ok. thanks.
[12:17] <nestadevil> finally i'm fully migration to ubuntu... great os  one...
[12:20] <night_girl> so my question is, in any later compiler than 4.8.2 do i need to say this tag when using c++11 features? -std=c++11
[12:21] <Ben64> thats more of a question for the c++ channel
[12:21] <night_girl> but the channel c ++ doenst let to talk on their general
[12:22] <Ben64> what does that mean
[12:22] <bazhang> !register | night_girl
[12:22] <night_girl> all right
[12:22] <EriC^^> night_girl, you might need to register a nickname
[12:23] <EriC^^> /nickserv register <password> <email>
[12:24] <stephan__> night_girl: I'd recommend to you, to think a moment about your real question, then rephrase in a plausible sentence.
[12:24] <night_girl> when using c++11 features even in the latest compiler we have to use -std=c++11 tag or not?
[12:25] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:25] <night_girl> can i install a compiler in my ubuntu that doesnt ask me for this tag?
[12:26] <barney> Hi all. How can I change the battery level that ubuntu determines as "critically low"? I'd like to give my machine an extra couple of minutes to hibernate, as sometimes it runs out of battery before it finishes.
[12:26] <EriC^^> night_girl, why not just make an alias
[12:26] <barney> guessing its in gconf somewhere?
[12:26] <EriC^^> barney, use dconf-editor to change that
[12:26] <night_girl> the problem is that i really want to know the answer to this question, thats the problem
[12:27] <night_girl> i dont care about writting it or not...
[12:28] <EriC^^> barney, i think it's this gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power percentage-critical
[12:28] <EriC^^> barney, gsettings set org.gnome .... <value> to set it
[12:29] <barney> EriC^^, you were spot on, thanks
[12:29] <EriC^^> no problem
[12:31] <stephan__> night_girl: read the manual of your compiler please.

[12:32] <abcdijt> i want to replace fedora with encrypted lvm with lubuntu 14.10. lubuntu has option to install with encrypted lvm while doing new setup. but it does not ask me encrypted lvm password when i already mount those partitions and make lubuntu install there. how to solve this?
[12:32] <EriC^^> abcdijt, it should ask you
[12:33] <EriC^^> abcdijt, are you choosing lvm + encryption or Something else?
[12:33] <abcdijt> EriC^^: something else. because i already have a working fedora. i want to reuse that lvm.
[12:34] <EriC^^> why
[12:34] <abcdijt> EriC^^: data?
[12:34] <abcdijt> EriC^^: cant delete the disk. it will take a lot of time to backup etc

[12:41] <Mr_T-RSA> Halo, I configured a few things in my /interfaces . After a restart I have to manuale start ifup etc.   I tried to change NetworkManager.conf  managed from true to false.  This only makes the changes in interfaces redundant
[12:42] <Mr_T-RSA> Is there another way to configure ubuntu to do that on startup
[12:43] <larryone> the pinning doc refers to releases that are no longer supported
[12:43] <larryone> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[12:43] <larryone> is it still relevant if I want to pin a trusty-backports package in 12.04?
[12:44] <larryone> or has anything changed for this kind of stuff recently?

[12:51] <RedRat> anyone knows a easyway to merge splited logs from ubuntu?
[12:52] <ioria> cat
[12:52] <ntsp> RedRat cat log1 >> log2 ?
[12:52] <RedRat> ioria, cat works with compressed files?
[12:52] <jpds> ntsp: That doesn't merge.
[12:52] <ioria> oh
[12:53] <jpds> ntsp: That just simply shoves one after the other.
[12:53] <jpds> ntsp: Think of timestamps and stuff.
[12:53] <jpds> RedRat: Go and check out something like graylog2.
[12:53] <jpds> RedRat: logstash.
[12:53] <ntsp> jpds well he didnt *specify* that he wanted them with chronological order :p
[12:53] <jpds> ntsp: "merge".

[12:54] <stafi4> I installed an Nvidia driver from xorg-edgers and after a reboot the lightm starts but shows nothing. I must remove the prop driver and get back to nouveau to resolve the problem. But, I want the prop driver because I have the Nvidia optimus.
[12:54] <RedRat> jpds, I will see this graylog2, thanks

[12:55] <Mr_T-RSA> How can you cnange /etc/network/interfaces without WIFI Devices not managed  popping up?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> Mr_T-RSA, are you setting up the interfaces file for ethernet ?
[12:57] <Mr_T-RSA> no fo wifi
[12:57] <plazia> When I first installed 14.04, whenever I resized windows I had a little thing popup showing me the dimensions. It's now gone. How do I get it back?
[12:57] <menace> how big is the ubuntu precise repository with updates and backports?
[12:58] <BluesKaj> Mr_T-RSA, wifi not working on network manager?
[12:59] <Mr_T-RSA> the network manager.  I added a mac to connect with. No i have to manually run ifup wlan0 etc
[12:59] <Mr_T-RSA> after each reset
[13:00] <jpds> Mr_T-RSA: Are you using NetworkManager or interfaces for the wifi connection?
[13:00] <Mr_T-RSA> interfaces
[13:01] <TheBigDeal> any idea, where can i find intellijIDEA IDE configuration files?
[13:01] <ntsp> TheBigDeal .ideadIC14 in ~
[13:02] <TheBigDeal> ntsp: thanks let's see
[13:02] <Mr_T-RSA> like i said i added this to the wifi device in interfaces:   pre-up ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <mac>
[13:02] <Mr_T-RSA> now it gives me the message  WIFI Devices not managed
[13:03] <TheBigDeal> ntsp: empty file :(
[13:04] <TheBigDeal> ntsp: oh sorry it's a directory :
[13:04] <TheBigDeal> :)
[13:04]  * ntsp facepalms
[13:05] <Mr_T-RSA> jpds:  i would like a way for network manager to use that interface without me running a termninal command each time
[13:05] <jpds> Mr_T-RSA: Yes, you added wlan0 to interfaces, now NetworkManager can't managed it.
[13:06] <Ademan> is it possible to have a kvm VM's X.org graphical output to a virtual terminal? (Have it appear from a user perspective like an xnest/xephyr session)
[13:06] <Silenced> Can someone tell me how to host a website from my desktop running ubuntu 14.04
[13:06] <jpds> Ademan: KVM can do VNC with libvirt.
[13:06] <TheBigDeal> ntsp: do you know where can i find the path of the scene builder :)
[13:07] <Kartagis> !lamp | Silenced
[13:07] <Mr_T-RSA> jpds: Well i only added a mac adress to connect with under wlan0 if that is what you mean.   Now everytime i restart i have to stop network-manager  run ifup wlan0 and start network-manager again to use my WIFI
[13:08] <jpds> Mr_T-RSA: You know that you can add the MAC with the NetworkManager GUI?
[13:08] <Silenced> ubottu : What is the name server i must provide the domain provider ?
[13:08] <ntsp> TheBigDeal never used the scene builder :p no idea
[13:08] <TheBigDeal> ntsp: got it :)
[13:08] <Mr_T-RSA> jpds: I tried that. it doesnt work for some odd reason.  Using pre-up ifconfig wlan0 hw ether works.
[13:08] <Silenced> How do i create it ? Any link or documentation ? ubottu
[13:09] <jpds> !bot | Silenced
[13:10] <Ademan> jpds: thanks, I *think* that's the default behavior? I specifically want to take that graphical output and put it into a VT accessible from ctrl+alt+F9 or whatever
[13:14] <plazia> When I first installed 14.04, whenever I resized windows I had a little thing popup showing me the dimensions. It's now gone. How do I get it back?

[14:18] <marshmn> hi, when does official support of 10.04 (server) end? I know that it's 'April 2015' - but when in April?
[14:18] <marshmn> will it be right to the end of April?
[14:18] <marshmn> or exactly 5 years from the release date?
[14:18] <marshmn> or something else?
[14:19] <Ben64> you should plan on having an upgrade in place by April 1
[14:27] <marshmn> @Ben64: sure, though that's not an answer to my question ;)

[14:39] <givello> Hey there, I'm using ubuntu 14.04 with gnome (installed with apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) and I'm trying to diagnose why my keyboard layout switching indicator doesn't show the switch when I do switch layouts. In doing so I encoutered the setting menus for selecting the input method (between ibus and others) and I'm wondering what the right choice is?
[14:40] <Guest63176> http://pastebin.com/7VJADSuC
[14:40] <uuhimhere> u shud use gentoo
[14:41] <givello> "Input method configuration" gives me this screen: http://pastebin.com/gwhBnkJm and then asks me if I want explicit user configuration which I'm not sure I do want, and settings->language support tells me my input method is ibus
[14:42] <givello> any idea if that's right, if I should change it, and if that could be related to my switching indicator issues?
[14:45] <emash> hello everyone!
[14:46] <chuckTF> pbx, I get a "no package by that name" error when I try to install
[14:47] <emash> i need some answers. How do i create encrypted install ubuntu to work with efi (for uefi pc), Will ubuntu encrypted installation work on uefi if i uncheck "Use LVM"?
[14:47] <lfrlucas> When are packages moved from proposed ppa to main one?
[14:48] <creichen> Hello!  I'm having a small issue with onboard (on-screen keyboard), in 14.04 on a Surface 3 tablet.  After working reliably during initial installation, onboard no longer seems to issue keyboard events, or at least other programs no longer observe any (i.e., I can't type any more).  Any suggestions?
[14:49] <creichen> Actually 14.10, sorry.  (Can't run the usual command line checks for the version, for obvious reasons.)
[14:50] <pbx> chuckTF, it's possible i added a ppa, i don't recall. but it shows up in Ubuntu Software Center for me.  possible this was it: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype
[14:51] <XenophonF> hey all - just to close the loop on my issues with my macbookpro5,1 - it looks like the nouveau driver does not work on my mac, but if i disable it (via nouveau.nomodeset=1 or nomodeset) or switch to the nvidia driver (https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers), everything works fine
[14:51] <XenophonF> well, KMS works anyway
[14:51] <XenophonF> i can't get the LCD to power off, but that's a different problem
[14:51] <ntsp> is there a way to disable the update manager? I can manage updates myself thank you :p

[14:59] <elvis2> anyone have any tips on installing sqlsrv extension on ubuntu 12.04?
[14:59] <elvis2> seems to be a pain
[15:01] <emash> i can't figure out how to format my drive prior to install
[15:01] <ntsp> emash the installer will do it for you, just select "Erase drive"
[15:01] <emash> it will create an install for mbr boot only
[15:02] <emash> legacy bot
[15:02] <emash> *boot
[15:02] <XenophonF> emash: on my mac it created a new EFI partition etc.
[15:06] <emash> if i check create encrypted install it won't do it and ubuntu will boot only in legacy

[15:21] <jadesoturi> hi all. i need to install a gui on an ubuntu server, but i want the most lightweight install.. when trying to install lubuntu-desktop, it pulls around 200mb more then unity in hdd space, is unity more lightweight or lxde/lubuntu ?
[15:21] <jadesoturi> and how do they compare in resource usage?
[15:23] <pbx> jadesoturi, what are your resource constraints on the server?
[15:24] <jadesoturi> its a esxi virtual machine.. running on 2 vcores and 8gb ram.. and ive added 64mb ram to video.. running on a 8gen hp proliant server
[15:24] <jadesoturi> the gui is not for me, i can handle cli, but the other dude here is a windowsfanboy. cant do anything without gui :P
[15:25] <somsip> jadesoturi: something like fluxbox or openbox is pretty light.
[15:25] <jadesoturi> yeah but its also a pain in the ass to use for someone who is "windows only" thats why i was thinking lubuntu...
[15:25] <jadesoturi> unless i spend some time and "polish" the setup to be "windows like" ..
[15:26] <somsip> jadesoturi: just install lxde then? but maybe not the lubuntu-desktop meta package,
[15:26] <jadesoturi> ok. is there a big difference between lxde and lubuntu?
[15:27] <somsip> jadesoturi: one is a wm. The other is a...erm...build that makes a lxde-based distro out of the ubuntu base
[15:28] <somsip> s/build/group of packages. Sort of thing
[15:28] <jadesoturi> ok. so it install like filemanager and a tons off other apps?
[15:28] <somsip> jadesoturi: lubuntu-desktop does, yes
[15:29] <somsip> !info lxde
[15:29] <somsip> !info lubuntu-desktop
[15:29] <jadesoturi> ok. i guess ill need the lubuntu desktop, since he will need all the "training wheels" he can get :P
[15:30] <somsip> jadesoturi: maybe look around the package contents on Launchpad so you can see what they will install, or do a --dry-run or an apt-cache thingy
[15:30] <jadesoturi> ok.. ill try that. thx!
[15:30] <budgetz> hello guys
[15:31] <jadesoturi> it should be easy to just install lubuntu on top of lxde if its not enough right?
[15:31] <somsip> jadesoturi: apt-cache depends lxed (for example)
[15:31] <somsip> jadesoturi: they should use the same core packages, so can't imagine why not but not something I've done before
[15:32] <ni181905> Sorry, but how do I get to undernet?
[15:32] <budgetz> jadesoturi: how can you install lubuntu on top of lxde if it's already based on lxde?
[15:32] <jadesoturi> okok:) ill go for lxde and just add packages as needed then. to keep the footprint minimal..
[15:33] <jadesoturi> budgetz, well since, lxde-core is part of lubuntu, cant see why that would be a problem if i need the "whole desktop experience" instead of a a core LXDE
[15:34] <budgetz> jadesoturi: that is probably true :)
[15:35] <jadesoturi> :)
[15:36] <budgetz> anyway i switched to Suse becouse my ubuntu always crushes when after installation of virtualbox
[15:37] <budgetz> maybe they fix that bug in a later virsions i don't know
[15:40] <jadesoturi> hmm im getting cannot open display when trying to run startlxde using the vmware vsphere client console...
[15:40] <jadesoturi> set | grep DISPLAY returns nothing..
[15:40] <jadesoturi> but iknow vmware assigns a virtual display to the machine..
[15:41] <jadesoturi> so the console should just work like a normal screen
[15:41] <RalfJ> could it be that there are problems with the German archive mirrors? for several months now, I am often getting errors from the apticron cronjob saying that some hash sums mismatch (usually once or twice a week, opposed to like, once a year on my debian machines). Right now, I am getting "W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-updates/restricted/i18n/Translation-en  Hash Sum mismatch".
[15:43] <budgetz> jadesoturi: do you mean that standart lubuntu dousnt provide
[15:43] <budgetz> 'whole desktop expirience' ?
[15:44] <jadesoturi> noe. that LXDE does not.. :P
[15:44] <kaea> Hey, I'm giving up on trying to change my username, so I'm opting for creating a new one, then migrating all my files to their new home. Anything I should think about prior to making my new user?
[15:45] <cfhowlett> RalfJ, this might fix:  https://www.evernote.com/shard/s274/sh/4196b9f0-2b98-430c-9677-7853ccacf5c0/0fe12ef588e906ece583cc4975afe5fa
[15:45] <budgetz> jadesoturi: well i obviously haven't tryed yet the lates one :)
[15:45] <jadesoturi> im installing this for a windows fan boy, so he will need "file explorer, system task manager, etc etc" lxde-core just installs the DE, while lubuntu-desktop installs a bunch of apps for him..
[15:45] <dokoo> jadesoturi, I have no knowledge of vmware, but DISPLAY is essentially a unique number identifying the X server. So make sure that /usr/bin/X is running
[15:45] <jadesoturi> dokoo, thx ill do that.
[15:46] <dokoo> jadesoturi, usually you can find out the number by looking at the command line of X (display number is after a colon)
[15:46] <RalfJ> cfhowlett: I would be surprised... things work out fine when I wait for 3h. the problem is that the mirror is out of sync
[15:46] <dokoo> jadesoturi, then you run DISPLAY=:1 whatever_program      replacing the 1 with the real number
[15:46] <RalfJ> well, lucky enough we have so many countries to choose from, I'll just use another one :) thanks!
[15:47] <cfhowlett> RalfJ, I"ve seen mirrors with severe lag times.  might do well to try an alternate
[15:48] <jadesoturi> hmm. does lxde use xinit? cause does not seem its even installed. would think that it would pull all it needs when running install lxde-core
[15:48] <RalfJ> cfhowlett: is there a good way to select some specific mirror within ones country? "de.archive..." is making problems, but that's probably many different machines, I'd like to use one of them...
[15:48] <cfhowlett> RalfJ, wait 1 ...
[15:49] <cfhowlett> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors  take a look; some of these are up to 1 week behind
[15:50] <ubuser141> Hi, I installed offical intel driver from their package, now my second monitor does not work... can somebody help me please?
[15:51] <dokoo> jadesoturi, xinit is a package outside of lxde. You can have lxde (or another desktop environemnt, for that matter) with or without xinit, they are orthogonal
[15:51] <budgetz> ubuser141: switch to SuSe :)))
[15:52] <ubuser141> budgetz: but thats the ubuntu channel
[15:52] <jadesoturi> dokoo, ok.. but how do i check if X is running? since startx is part of xinit. startlxde should run up the X server, right?
[15:53] <budgetz> ubuser141: yea i know :) but it's fun it's about technoloty anyway :)))
[15:53] <ubuser141> ^^
[15:53] <SchrodingersScat> !ot
[15:54] <jhutchins> jadesoturi: Most window managers are configured to be run from a display manager or greeter these days.  Something like gdm or lightdm handles logins and launches the wm.
[15:55] <RalfJ> cfhowlett: thanks!
[15:55] <cfhowlett> RalfJ, happy2help1
[15:55] <jadesoturi> jhutchins, hmm ok. so how would i start lxde from the terminal then?
[15:55] <jadesoturi> dont hink i have gdm installed. its a barebone ubuntu-server install
[15:56] <dokoo> jadesoturi, to check X running:    ps aux | grep X
[15:56] <jadesoturi> dokoo,  its not running since i only get the grep line back :/
[15:57] <dokoo> jadesoturi, the window manager is a client and starting the server is not its responsibility, it expects X server to have been already started.
[15:57] <dokoo> jadesoturi, there you are, install xinit, then ''echo startlxde > .xinitrc'' finally ''startx''
[15:58] <jadesoturi> ok. thats waht i was wondering about earlier, if i need to install xinit to get it to run.. :) thank you
[15:58] <yeehi> Cannot add VPN to network-manager: connection add failed: insufficient privileges
[15:59] <dokoo> jadesoturi, startx will independently start the server as /usr/bin/X and the client as .xinitrc. You can find detailed info by running ''man startx''
[15:59] <dokoo> jadesoturi, you're welcome :)
[15:59] <jadesoturi> ;) works now:) thank you! x2go is next now:D
[16:01] <dokoo> desktop sharing? may I suggest vino
[16:07] <kaea> Why is my user not listed in /etc/sudoers but can still run "sudo ..." ?
[16:07] <EriC^^> kaea, is he part of the sudo or adm group?
[16:07] <ntsp> kaea either that^ also you can run sudo if not in sudoesrs but it will abort after the password
[16:07] <kaea> EriC^^: Don't know, quick way to check?
[16:08] <EriC^^> kaea, type groups
[16:08] <kaea> EriC^^: username adm cdrom sudo ...
[16:08] <ntsp> kaea yea you need to remove the user from adm and sudo
[16:09] <EriC^^> kaea, yeah, in /etc/sudoers there's the %adm and %sudo groups privileges
[16:09] <EriC^^> actually just %admin apparently
[16:09] <EriC^^> not %adm
[16:10] <flounders> After my laptop goes to sleep, I can't hear anything through my headphones unless I reboot. Any ideas?
[16:10] <kaea> ntsp: is that unwanted behaviour?
[16:10] <dokoo> flounders, any clue in dmesg?
[16:11] <ntsp> kaea no but if you dont want to use sudo you have to not be in those groups, or you can simply remove the group entries from sudoers(tho all other users wont be able to use sudo)
[16:11] <jhutchins> flounders: "sleep" means programs stop running, so whatever's playing audio stops too.
[16:11] <flounders> dokoo: Not that I can see.
[16:11] <kaea> ntsp: ok thanks
[16:12] <jhutchins> flounders: Depending on the progam, it might have the ability to keep the system from sleeping.
[16:13] <flounders> jhutchins: VLC can do that too, but before I could put my laptop to sleep, take it with me, power it back on, and reinsert headphones and they work.
[16:13] <flounders> The last few days that has been broken.
[16:13] <jhutchins> flounders: Ah, you mean when it comes out of sleep there's no sound.  You may need to restart alsa or pulseaudio.
[16:14] <flounders> jhutchins: The funny thing is the speakers work, but I can give that a try.
[16:15] <jhutchins> flounders: Yeah, my work laptop with W7 does all kinds of wierd things with the headphones.  Docking station jack doesn't work at all, and I've pretty much given up on using them.
[16:22] <Hanumaan> how to use apt-get update and upgrade option without upgrading postgresql?

[17:03] <N7> hey, does anyone know how you go about installing counter strike source skins on ubuntu?
[17:04] <N7> thingy im looking at says "Enter C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps and click OK. If you want to skip the next three steps, try putting %sourcesdk%..\..\..\common\counter-strike source\cstrike\custom instead."
[17:04] <N7> but where would that folder be on ubunty
[17:05] <SchrodingersScat> N7: I forget, but you could find . -name "cstrike"
[17:06] <yolo`> hello, I'm trying to install packages with apt-get but I get always get "504  Unable to resolve security.ubuntu.com".. the ping to that site seems to be working though
[17:07] <N7> great, thanks yolo that worked
[17:08] <N7> um
[17:09] <N7> i mean SchrodingersScat
[17:09] <SchrodingersScat> N7: great
[17:11] <N7> this might be stupid SchrodingersScat but how do i get to that folder lol
[17:13] <kaea> The more I read on the subject the more confused I get, what is a user and how can I either recreate/clone the one I have, or alter the current ones name?
[17:13] <SchrodingersScat> N7: find should have shown something like ./.local/steam/something and those directories should be in your home directory.  .directories are 'hidden' so may have to ctrl-h in a gui file manager, or can just cd there.
[17:14] <N7> ah yeah i got ./.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/Counter-Strike Source/cstrike
[17:14] <N7> cool found it now, thanks

[17:39] <abugar> Anyone have tips for a todo-list client for desktop/browser/android?
[17:44] <jeffrey_f> abugar: I use thunderbird on the PC, it is also available for droid.  Add the add-ons "provider for google calendar" and "Lightning" and it should be able to bring in your calendar.  However, the "tasks" looks like they are local, but you can create calendar entries witch essentially does the same thing
[17:45] <abugar> I also use thunderbird, jeffrey_f, I'll look into it.
[17:45] <abugar> I just wish there was a Google Keep addon to Thunderbird.
[17:47] <abugar> Why doesn't Google have a Tasks app though?
[17:49] <jhutchins> abugar: It's in the calendar.
[17:50] <jeffrey_f> abugar: searched the play store, there is an app called gtasks

[19:37] <AndChat|107604> i want use it as main system anywhere
[19:38] <AndChat|107604> i found there is some tips on installing ubuntu on usb flash drive
[19:39] <AndChat|107604> has someone same exprince
[19:39] <AndChat|107604> what should i know
[19:40] <AndChat|107604> is there any best practice about this subject
[19:40] <compdoc> if it doesnt work, try again
[19:41] <AndChat|107604> any step by step that keep in mind most issues
[19:42] <AndChat|107604> any idea?

[19:45] <tre_> AndChat, what OS are you using to make a bootable Ubuntu image on your USB flash drive?
[19:46] <AndChat|107604> I have usb live flash ,8gb usb flash
[19:46] <hdon_> AndChat|107604: do i understand that you haven't given it a try yet?
[19:47] <AndChat|107604> i remove all sata cables to prevent unwanted effects on internal hard drive
[19:47] <AndChat|107604> boot ubuntu from 8gb usb flash
[19:47] <AndChat|107604> , try to install it on 64gb usb flash
[19:48] <tre_> go into your BIOS, and make sure your boot order is has USB > HDD
[19:48] <tre_> then connect flash drive, then boot
[19:48] <tre_> if you have successfully created a bootable image of Ubuntu, you'll see Ubuntu Live load
[19:48] <AndChat|107604> ok, i am it now, live usb bootup complete
[19:49] <AndChat|107604> want of my question is about partitioning
[19:49] <tre_> what is your question about partitioning?
[19:50] <AndChat|107604> i don't create swap fir prevent drain flash in short time
[19:50] <bekks> AndChat|107604: Whats your question?
[19:50] <AndChat|107604> also make /tmp on ram in fstab ,
[19:51] <AndChat|107604> i want to know is there any guide with full instruction
[19:51] <bekks> AndChat|107604: Whats your question about partitioning?
[19:51] <AndChat|107604> for best recommendion on installing ubuntu full on flash
[19:52] <AndChat|107604> i want have flash boot completely in from usb in all device
[19:52] <tre_> what do you mean by "in all device"?
[19:53] <tre_> if you have a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu on it, then you already have a copy of Ubuntu you can take with you.
[19:53] <AndChat|107604> but i have some exprience when move flash on some pc, it don't detect devices such as graphic card...
[19:54] <AndChat|107604> but when using live it can boot successfully
[19:54] <tre_> ah.  nvidia cards?
[19:54] <AndChat|107604> i want full os on flash, but when connect to device detect all new devices
[19:55] <AndChat|107604> ...when connect to pc's...
[19:55] <tre_> ah.  well, it's a bit more involved than that.  you will have to manually detect and install some devices
[19:55] <tre_> especially nvidia gfx cards and broadcom wifi cards.
[19:56] <AndChat|107604> i work on lots of pc's and want full system on flash that boot like live cd but work like full os ,
[19:57] <AndChat|107604> like keep installed apps and configs
[19:57] <tre_> ohh
[19:57] <AndChat|107604> but when connect to new pc like live cd detect all devices
[19:58] <tre_> okay, you will want to make sure you have persistent space on your USB stick.
[19:58] <tre_> meaning a separate partition on your USB stick, for persisted data (apps, config, etc)
[19:59] <AndChat|107604> yes ,presistent installed app on os...
[19:59] <AndChat|107604> too
[19:59] <tre_> if you are using the same group of PCs, then just go to each one, install the drivers you need,
[19:59] <tre_> then you can go to Additional Drivers to switch between the appropriate drivers for the machine you're currently working at
[20:00] <daftykins> i'd agree only if the drive has persistence, since some aren't very good at live session operation
[20:00] <AndChat|107604> change drive 3 time a day?
[20:01] <daftykins> AndChat|107604: will you be on the same network with this setup?
[20:01] <AndChat|107604> i work on more than 3 pc's in one day,
[20:01] <daftykins> i think you're asking a bit much.
[20:01] <tre_> lulz
[20:01] <bringonblink> hello
[20:01] <tre_> yeah, anything that boots from a stick is generally more for demonstration purposes than daily usage
[20:02] <AndChat|107604> dafykins, pc's are'nt in same network
[20:02] <treelzebub> [new nick; same dude]
[20:02] <bringonblink> quick question guys, you know in windows chrome, you can middle click to scroll faster, how do you replicate that functionality in ubuntu?
[20:02] <daftykins> USB flash drives would be too slow an experience in my opinion
[20:02] <treelzebub> AndChat, you might have better luck coming at the problem from another angle.  like, using a cloud service.
[20:03] <Scunizi> How do I set up my system to auto mount external ntfs usb drives? (ntfs-3g is already installed)
[20:03] <bekks> treelzebub: Booting off a cloud service is even more horrible :)
[20:03] <AndChat|107604> tre_, daftykins, you said that i should not use it like full os
[20:03] <treelzebub> not booting! sharing data ;)
[20:04] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: They should automatically mount the first time you try to access them via nautilus. If that's not enough, please describe your end goal.
[20:04] <AndChat|107604> treezebub , some pc don't have internet access
[20:04] <treelzebub> bringonblink: try package gpointing-device-settings
[20:04] <bekks> treelzebub: Thats what USB is for ;) But he wants a full blown OS on it.
[20:05] <treelzebub> truth.  ((sits down)) :P
[20:05] <Chezka> aaaaa
[20:05] <RudeViper> Good day all
[20:06] <Chezka> all mal mnogo ste tyk be
[20:06] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: it doesn't auto mount but throws an error.  The system tries to mount it as ext4 instead of ntfs.  the drive has 4 partitions. only 1 is ntfs.  the other three I don't need access to.
[20:06] <Chezka> ot kade se praknahte tolkova xora
[20:06] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: Please pastebin the exact error message as well as the output of "sudo blkid".
[20:07] <AndChat|107604> ok, that means it is not a good idea to have full os on flash drive, even on fast usb3 one
[20:08] <DJones> !english | Chezka
[20:08] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: the text of the error.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10542912/
[20:09] <Chezka> ti 6te mi kaje6 az kakvo da pravq q bqgai si jiveei tapiqt angliski jivotec
[20:10] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: pastbinit of blkid http://paste.ubuntu.com/10542939/  It's sde4 that I'm trying to mount.  But would like to mount any ntfs external usb automatically so changing fstab with a uuid # isn't relevant.
[20:12] <bekks> Scunizi: Using the block device or the UUID are your only chances. There is no way to do that for every NTFS ever attached.
[20:12] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: The error message mentions /dev/sde3. Are you sure you weren't trying to mount sde3?
[20:13] <AndChat|107604> But i seen some guide on internet that has os on flash with no problem
[20:14] <Scunizi> Jordan_U: I should have looked closer.. you are correct sde4 is what I was trying to mount.. it is working currently.. thanks for the time.
[20:14] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: I've done it multiple times, with the only issue (sometimes major, especially for cheap pen drives) has been with slowness. There are some additional hoops you have to jump through for UEFI though, to make it bootable on any machine and to prevent installation from creating a UEFI boot entry on the machine you run the installer from.
[20:14] <Newb> will /etc/rc.local run commands as root ?
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: You're welcome.
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Newb: Yes.
[20:15] <Jordan_U> Newb: What is your end goal?
[20:16] <RudeViper> Jordan_U, genii - it turned out it was in fact the power supply. Replaced it with a working one - but I've got to reinstall.
[20:16] <Newb> mount a drive because fstab won't do it. We have tried so many things in #raspbian
[20:16] <Newb> and it won't load the usb hdd drive on boot
[20:16] <Newb> but using mount -a it loads just fine
[20:16] <AndChat|107604> jordan_U , i removed all sata cable
[20:17] <Newb> so i kinda need something so i guess i go with a ugly fix
[20:17] <bekks> Newb: Then what does your fstab line look like?
[20:18] <Newb> bekks: 2 sec i'll past bin
[20:18] <AndChat|107604> that is all about detecting all device in new pc like a live cd, when booting from usb with full installition of ubuntu on it
[20:18] <Jordan_U> Newb: This channel is for Ubuntu support only.
[20:19] <stephanmg> lo
[20:19] <DJones> Newb: Which version of Ubuntu are you running on the Pi, I wasn't aware that Ubuntu ran on the Rasberry pi
[20:19] <Newb> oh i am not running ubuntu
[20:19] <Newb> but they are both build on debian
[20:19] <bekks> Newb: So please seek the support of the distro you are runnung.
[20:19] <bekks> *running
[20:19] <Newb>  bekks http://pastebin.com/iRXqCeY9
[20:20] <DJones> Newb: You need to ask in the Pi channels then, this channel only supports Ubuntu issue
[20:20] <AndChat|107604> but some pepole said that i can't use flash drive for daily usage
[20:20] <AndChat|107604> here,
[20:20] <Newb> Okay sorry we kinda gave up in our channel so i wanted to try here
[20:20] <bekks> AndChat|107604: And those people are right.
[20:27] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: A cheap flash drive will likely die faster when running a full OS than when just used for transferring files every once and a while. And again, performance might be abismal. If you have a regular USB spinning rust, or a proper USB SSD rather than a cheap pen drive then it should be fine. If you don't care about possibly losing data and needing to get a new cheap flash drive I would personally say just try ...
[20:27] <Jordan_U> ... it and see how you like it. That said, that is a pretty big "if" that you shouldn't just ignore.
[20:31] <feral_hedgehog> Hello everyone! Linux noob here. Just spent 3 days on solving serious printer problem. Please tell me where to post the solution so that other linux noobs don't have to spend 3 days. Here's what happened: While using Kubuntu 14.10 64bit, printer wouldn't print files from Office 2007 running on wine1.7. To fix the problem I've installed the latest hplip and in '/etc/cups/ppd/' added 'read' permissions to Everyone on the printer's .ppd file.
[20:32] <feral_hedgehog> Before that the Everyone section had no permissions at all. Can someone tell me how the hell such a thing was left unset?
[20:32] <daftykins> feral_hedgehog: ubuntu forums wouldn't hurt
[20:32] <AndChat|107604> jordan_U, i have this , http://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Marvel-Champagne-SP064GBUF3M50V1C/dp/B00G3ZWNY2
[20:33] <AndChat|107604> but if i know that special usb flash feet my needs i will buy it
[20:33] <daftykins> flash drives are not designed for what you're trying to do
[20:33] <feral_hedgehog> daftykins: Yes but where exactly, Printers section, wine section? Or do I like... Report a bug or something?
[20:34] <daftykins> i don't know, not familiar with the forum
[20:35] <DJones> feral_hedgehog: I'd suggest asking in ##winehq which is the main support channel for apps running under Wine
[20:36] <treelzebub> what exactly gets degraded when using usb flash so heavily--assuming no wear-and-tear by un/plugging?
[20:36] <feral_hedgehog> Alright, will look into that. Thanks guys!
[20:37] <iggymydog> i'm trying to run ubuntu 14.04 off a usb...I have it on my comp and my usb is clear and my comp with ubuntu has no internet pkease help im so frustrated
[20:38] <daftykins> treelzebub: the program/erase cycles of the NAND
[20:38] <daftykins> but sadly how NAND works is offtopic here really :)
[20:38] <treelzebub> interesting! that makes sense.  i was not aware
[20:38] <treelzebub> true enough :)
[20:38] <daftykins> iggymydog: so which part is the trouble, booting the flash drive or getting a working network connection?
[20:40] <treelzebub> daftykins: do you have an opinion on pendrivelinux.com ?
[20:40] <iggymydog> daftykins: i can boot from the flash drive how ever i want to RUN it from the flash drive...aka i want the flash drive to act like the computers hard drive
[20:41] <pr0metheu5> I just installed Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 14.10, but in some of the apps, the window borders are still "Unity" or the default Ubuntu window borders... I have already changed all themes using the Tweak Tool to Adwaita, but some programs like Terminal still use different window border. Is there a fix for this?
[20:41] <daftykins> treelzebub: UUI is fine, yeah
[20:42] <daftykins> iggymydog: oh :/ that's going to be a less than optimal experience. what you want is to make it a persistent drive, then
[20:42] <daftykins> !persistence
[20:42] <daftykins> iggymydog: what OS did you make the drive up with?
[20:43] <iggymydog> daftykins: the hard drive has gone to crap and the computer is used by my 67 year old uncle to get on the internet and play solatair ....so im not looking for anything impressive its just his hard drive is gone to crap
[20:43] <daftykins> iggymydog: why not just throw a new one in?
[20:44] <iggymydog> daftykins: im not willing to pay for a new hard drive and at any rate this would be good to know
[20:44] <daftykins> ok, but for what it's worth something like this isn't really for longevity so i would not do it myself
[20:45] <treelzebub> say, what if AndChat|107604 were to get an external ssd drive and boot from that at each pc?
[20:45] <iggymydog> daftykins: plus its an old laptop my nebor threw away
[20:46] <treelzebub> iggymydog: perhaps a deck of cards is in order, if it be solitaire yer after :P
[20:46] <daftykins> treelzebub: did ponder it, but even USB 3 would kinda negate the speed boost
[20:46]  * daftykins chuckles
[20:46] <treelzebub> daftykins: is true.  silly usb: not universal; barely a serial bus :P
[20:47] <iggymydog> treelzebub: lol yes but id love to figure this out...please offer me some help! lol is there any way i can make the computer think the pendrive is the main hard drive ... please! help i rly want to so this
[20:47] <daftykins> i feel like i already gave you the answer
[20:48] <daftykins> either use two and install to one from another, or make one persistent
[20:48] <treelzebub> ^^
[20:49] <AndChat|107604> I read this about flash life time, just read result part: http://www.zdnet.com/article/usb-drive-life-fact-or-fiction/
[20:49] <rpp601> has anyone ever compiled eggdrop? or have experience with the tcl library?
[20:50] <t13_> hi guys.... have  any  of you problem with usb soundcard on ubuntu 14.04 ?? (alsa wont update when new usb card was inserted)
[20:51] <varaindemian> Is there any way I can center the name of an app in Ubuntu?
[20:52] <sebastian_o|> hi guys, what's the right channel to ask about apache 2.4 configuration issues?
[20:52] <AndChat|107604> That seema there is no problem about usb flash life time
[20:52] <daftykins> sebastian_o|: here or #ubuntu-server
[20:52] <daftykins> just be sure not to paste :P
[20:53] <sebastian_o|> thanks daftykins heh sure
[20:53] <daftykins> AndChat|107604: i 100% disagree, i still think your approach is going to make computer use immensely painful.
[20:53] <varaindemian> like mac os
[20:53] <daftykins> AndChat|107604: now, why can't you just keep the same software installed across these systems and carry around a drive with data to share instead? assuming cloud backup solutions are not possible
[20:55] <MartynKeigher> Hey all.. looking for a quick way to open port 443 on ubuntu 14.0
[20:55] <MartynKeigher> 14.04
[20:55] <varaindemian> Is there any way I can center the name of an app in Ubuntu?
[20:55] <MartynKeigher> anyone?
[20:55] <treelzebub> varaindemian: look into gnome desktop environment.  it looks a bit more mac-ish. install, then use the Desktop Environment chooser icon next to your login
[20:55] <AndChat|107604> i just want have same configs,apps and file where i go and where i am
[20:55] <Jordan_U> MartynKeigher: No ports are blocked by default. What is your end goal and what problem are you running into?
[20:55] <daftykins> varaindemian: what do you mean?
[20:56] <treelzebub> varaindemian: http://i.imgur.com/CFQ1X.png
[20:56] <MartynKeigher> an app running behind 443 is being blocked
[20:56] <MartynKeigher> i just need to open it
[20:56] <AndChat|107604> just like want
[20:56] <treelzebub> AndChat|107604: honestly, it sounds like what you want is a laptop.
[20:56] <varaindemian> http://www.askdavetaylor.com/3-blog-pics/apple-mac-system-preferences-sharing.png
[20:57] <varaindemian> look at this screenshot of a mac's app
[20:57] <varaindemian> it's name is centered
[20:57] <varaindemian> I want the name to be centered insetead of appearing on the left side
[20:57] <varaindemian> in the top bar
[20:57] <treelzebub> varaindemian: i answered your question :)
[20:58] <Jordan_U> MartynKeigher: What app? How are you determining that port 443 is being "blocked"? Are you trying to access this port from behind NAT or a hardware firewall?
[20:58] <varaindemian> treelzebub: thank you
[20:59] <AndChat|107604> What canonical try to make was a full pc on phone, with dock to connect and make full pc aywhere
[21:00] <AndChat|107604> that was ideal,but when i don't have it on phone, can i have it on flash usb?
[21:01] <varaindemian> so if I use this sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[21:01] <varaindemian> then I'll have exactly the sme interface. Am I right?
[21:01] <arcsky> hello guys, how can i found out if my VPS provider did shutdown my server today or does my ubuntu reboot automatticaly?
[21:01] <AndChat|107604> that was what i want,
[21:02] <daftykins> varaindemian: seriously, you're going to change desktop environment just to get program names in the middle instead of the left?
[21:02] <pr0metheu5> I just installed Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 14.10, but in some of the apps, the window borders are still "Unity" or the default Ubuntu window borders... I have already changed all themes using the Tweak Tool to Adwaita, but some programs like Terminal still use different window border. Is there a fix for this?
[21:02] <treelzebub> hahah
[21:02] <daftykins> AndChat|107604: it's just not wise. it'll be slow and just get worse
[21:04] <jawl> Hi everyone
[21:04] <daftykins> good evening
[21:07] <varaindemian> daftykins: Is there any problem in stalling it?
[21:07] <daftykins> it just seems to be going a bit far to me, yeah you might start getting some surprises
[21:07] <daftykins> just keep a list of the packages it installs ;)
[21:10] <AndChat|107604> Ok, just try this with keep in mind what heard here,
[21:11] <AndChat|107604> i will create complete report for users like me
[21:13] <treelzebub> dude, just get a laptop and a vpn
[21:16] <AndChat|107604> I know about laptops, i have a hybrid device too, but i can use it there, please understand situation,
[21:17] <AndChat|107604> I can't use internet in some device , so no cloud work anywhere, no allowed laptops ,
[21:18] <AndChat|107604> Ok, just a usb flash
[21:23] <treelzebub> AndChat|107604: well, best of luck to you, mate! sounds like a really odd situation.
[21:23] <AndChat|107604> Yes, sadly, i hope it work,
[21:24] <AndChat|107604> what you prefer in this case,
[21:24] <AndChat|107604> Persistent Live USB
[21:25] <AndChat|107604> or Full Linux Install on usb
[21:26] <treelzebub> Persistent Live USB, but i would be really angry that those were the only two choices.
[21:26] <daftykins> +1 to treelzebub's diplomatic response
[21:26] <treelzebub> bahaha
[21:27] <AndChat|107604> :)
[21:27] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: I would personally prefer a standard install, because a "persistant" install doesn't allow upgrading of the kernel.
[21:27] <RudeViper> Jordan_U - can you plug an hd in while computer is running in ubuntu? I know you can't without crashing windows but what about ubuntu?
[21:27] <daftykins> that's actually wrong about Windows
[21:28] <daftykins> but the likelihood of either system then detecting the disk without manual intervention = close to 0
[21:28] <RudeViper> not it isn't - I don't mean using usb - I mean plugging it into the controller
[21:28] <Jordan_U> RudeViper: USB drives, and other hot pluggable hardware, are common and supported just fine. Hot plugging hardware that was not designed to be hot plugged could damage said hardware. Don't do it.
[21:29] <OerHeks> sata hotswap, it is possible, not on all chipsets afaik
[21:29] <RudeViper> crap - one drive has vista on it and it's being a pain trying to boot - ok thanks
[21:30] <AndChat|107604> jordan_ U, i heard that when upgrading kernel on usb flash with full os, they affect boot loader on connected harddisk
[21:30] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: I don't understand your statement.
[21:31] <treelzebub> AndChat|107604: last time i installed ubuntu from live usb, i accidentally used # apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade ... nothing happened to my bootloader.
[21:31] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: I didn't understand your last message.
[21:32] <treelzebub> oh, oops. strike my last statement.  i misunderstood
[21:33] <cluelessperson> hey guys, I have a question
[21:33] <cluelessperson> What does it take to create a simple tool like pastebinit?
[21:34] <daftykins> scripting experience i suspect
[21:34] <Arr0way> after installing ubuntu 15 alpha + amd drivers, i seem to  have a 1 inch border around my screen o.O
[21:34] <ntsp> cluelessperson programming language of your choice and basic knowledge of sockets and TCP
[21:34] <Arr0way> OS thinks it's in the right resolution.
[21:34] <ntsp> s/TCP/HTTP
[21:34] <AndChat|107604> When you have linux on usb as full os, and upgrade kernel, upgrading affect bootloader on main harddisk on pc
[21:34] <treelzebub> i don't see how that's possible.
[21:35] <daftykins> #ubuntu+1 for non-final releases, please Arr0way
[21:35] <cluelessperson> ntsp, I'd like to upload in the form of an http post,  just the variables.  code, tags
[21:35] <cluelessperson> maybe api key
[21:35] <daftykins> Arr0way: can tell you that sounds like a scaling mode though
[21:36] <ntsp> cluelessperson well if you know a scripting/programming language its easily done
[21:36] <cluelessperson> ntsp, I have the server pretty much all set.
[21:36] <cluelessperson> ntsp, cluelessperson.com/slice/.
[21:37] <daftykins> cluelessperson: this isn't a development help channel, please bear in mind
[21:37] <ntsp> cluelessperson by the way awesome design :P
[21:38] <Jordan_U> AndChat|107604: That will not happen with any currently supported release of Ubuntu. What might happen, for UEFI booting only, is that it might add an unusable when the USB drive is not plugged in (but harmless) Ubuntu entry to your firmware's boot entrys. I don't know how to prevent that other than sticking to a BIOS based installation, but I would assume there is a way.
[21:38] <cluelessperson> ntsp, Thanks. :P
[21:39] <cluelessperson> ntsp, it doesn't work in IE, but screw ie
[21:39] <varaindemian_> will ubuntu 15.04 use gnome istead of unity? :D
[21:39] <daftykins> varaindemian_: no
[21:39] <daftykins> ubuntu gnome will though
[21:40] <varaindemian_> I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJJ7BjpVszE
[21:40] <varaindemian_> that's why I asked
[21:42] <daftykins> varaindemian_: yeah, just as xubuntu comes with xfce, lubuntu LXDE and kubuntu KDE, http://ubuntugnome.org/
[21:43] <varaindemian_> daftykins: I see
[21:50] <RudeViper> Jordan_U, genii - ok now I am back at the same place as two days agon - two additional sata controllers have been added (hardware wise) one the sil3512 and the 2nd one is jmicron with 2 sata ports 1 IDE - the jmicron one is working as the one sata drive attached to is shows up - both controllers show on boot screens (bios etc) - I have never had to install a driver in linux (except for nvidia
[21:50] <RudeViper> drivers which show up in the software center automatically) - can you give me an idea on how to find the answers if you don't know off the top of you head? My google searches haven't turned up any real information other than what we discussed two days ago.
[21:50] <cihan> Hi! Im using ubuntu 12.04 on a VM (virtualbox). Somehow, for the networking I see wan instead of eth0. How can I make it eth0? Any suggestions?
[21:51] <treelzebub> cihan: when you say you see wan instead of eth0, do you mean you see it in the dropdown box inside Add new Connection [Network Connections]?
[21:51] <cihan> treelzebub, when i do ifconfig
[21:52] <treelzebub> cihan: that usually means the driver has not been automatically detected, and you will have to manually configure it.
[21:53] <cihan> treelzebub, i see. is there a manual to follow that you know?
[21:53] <treelzebub> i've always used http://ubuntuforums.org/ ... search for your device, and there will usually be someone who's had  the same trouble
[21:54] <treelzebub> if not there, then over at the stack exchange: http://askubuntu.com/
[21:54] <cihan> thanks a lot treelzebub
[21:54] <treelzebub> sure thing!
[21:54] <pr0metheu5> I just installed Gnome Shell on Ubuntu 14.10, but in some of the apps, the window borders are still "Unity" or the default Ubuntu window borders... I have already changed all themes using the Tweak Tool to Adwaita, but some programs like Terminal still use different window border. Is there a fix for this?
[21:55] <akkad> apt-get -f install yields this. Does it look sane to continue? https://gist.github.com/e2158ac32ca75a0a25c7
[21:58] <cedp> Hi i'm using Ubuntu Studio
[21:59] <SchrodingersScat> cedp: great, what's the issue?
[22:00] <treelzebub> akkad: run # apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove
[22:00] <treelzebub> and see if you get different results for fixing broken pkgs
[22:00] <cedp> it is the first time that i used it, there is a lot applications new for me
[22:03] <varaindemian_> wow the channel of ubuntu is alot bigger compared to linux min's channel
[22:03] <teward> varaindemian_: yes it is, however mint isnt supported here, just an FYI
[22:04] <teward> varaindemian_: (you'd be surprised how many mint users come here... anyways, i'm offtopic now :P)
[22:06] <varaindemian_> teward: I wonder why people would use mint. Just for it's environment? I am also one of those who don't like unity
[22:08] <gx620> I think they use mint because it looks very close to XP
[22:08] <daftykins> no off topic chatter please
[22:08] <daftykins> #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[22:09] <teward> !offtopic > varaindemian_
[22:10] <daftykins> wrong user
[22:12] <teward> oops
[22:12] <teward> actually
[22:12] <teward> daftykins: not really, varaindemian_ was the first to ask the question that started it (and gx620 followed up)
[22:12] <teward> my fault really
[22:12]  * daftykins gets back on topic
[22:15] <RudeViper> Is there anything in ubuntu server (I have installed xfce4 to make some things easier for me) like device manager for windows?
[22:15] <Scunizi> Any references if this (http://store.hp.com/UKStore/Merch/Product.aspx?id=H4F06AA&opt=ABB&sel=DEF) will function on 14.04 and above? Any links to get it working?
[22:16] <Scunizi> Touchpad on sale at Fry's for $10 US
[22:17] <xangua> Scunizi: did you ask hp?
[22:17] <Scunizi> xangua: really?  most companies just say they don't support linux and leave it at that.. this community on the other hand, hacks away and makes things work. :)
[22:18] <xangua> Is that a no?
[22:18] <Scunizi> correct..
[22:20] <ph88> when i install something with apt-get i see a list of suggested packages. Is it possible to get this list after a package has already been installed ?
[22:21] <Ben64> ph88: apt-cache show <package>
[22:22] <treelzebub> ph88: are you referring to $ apt-cache search {some-package}  ?
[22:24] <RudeViper> I found the "device manager" for ubuntu - both the jmicron and the sil 3512 controllers are showing up - however the two drives attached to sil card are not showing up - either in gparted or in disks... Is there something I need to do for system to see them?
[22:26] <daftykins> RudeViper: you probably need a driver module for those or something.
[22:30] <RudeViper> daftykins - I don't know what that is... it's the first time I've had hardware not work in ubuntu
[22:30] <ph88> thx Ben64
[22:31] <daftykins> RudeViper: well, what did you consider the devman to be, 'lspci' ?
[22:32] <ph88> Ben64: i notice that the suggestion list is much longer while installing. Perhaps the additional dependencies also give their  suggestions?  If so how do i get all the suggestions including those of the dependencies ?
[22:32] <daftykins> RudeViper: a driver module is just the driver for the silicon image card.
[22:32] <cedp> see you later dudes
[22:34] <RudeViper> daftykins ok - according to the gui program (benchmarking) it shows up - I've tried searching for the drivers but I keep getting that are built into the kernel after 2.6 - like I said - I've never had to install a driver in linux before. that's why so confused
[22:34] <nnin> Hi I want a way of getting a disk device name e.x. /dev/sda or /dev/hda using uuid. I dont want to get partition, or a /dev/mapper/mountpoint name. Is there a way ?
[22:35] <daftykins> RudeViper: lsmod | grep -i sil | pastebinit
[22:35] <daftykins> nnin: sudo blkid
[22:35] <daftykins> oh for the overall disk... i don't think that's their purpose
[22:36] <RudeViper> daftykins rebooting it right now - will run that right away
[22:36] <rdk87> hello everyone, how can I change the boot order, and also delete some superflous lines from grub?
[22:37] <Bashing-om> nnin: Maybe : ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -alh <- ??
[22:37] <nnin> daftykins: blkid -t UUID=57e0ac87-435a-45eb-a549-e85f3dbdec19 returns, /dev/mapper/sda2_crypt: UUID="57e0ac87-435a-45eb-a549-e85f3dbdec19" TYPE="ext4" I need /dev/sda not /dev/mapper
[22:38] <daftykins> rdk87: 'the boot order' - as in the default kernel or OS GRUB picks at boot?
[22:38] <nnin> Bashing-om this the way of getting the uuids, thanks
[22:39] <RudeViper> daftykins - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544396
[22:40] <Bashing-om> nnin: How bout when the UUID is provided ? ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/57e0ac87-435a-45eb-a549-e85f3dbdec19 .
[22:41] <rdk87> daftykins, I want to change the order of OSes shown at start window. also delete unnecessary lines (they're about 10)
[22:41] <daftykins> RudeViper: ok so the driver module is already loaded, no ideas what's up if the drives are connected properly
[22:42] <nnin> Bashing-om the result is  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Μάρ   3 22:12 /dev/disk/by-uuid/57e0ac87-435a-45eb-a549-e85f3dbdec19 -> ../../dm-0 Can I get from  ../../dm-0 the drive name ? (/dev/sda)
[22:42] <daftykins> !grub | rdk87
[22:42] <RudeViper> daftykins I do know they showed up when I connected them to the windows box - on the same controller even
[22:43] <Bashing-om> nnin: Yeah, there is a way .. off the top of my head I do not remember. It may come to me .
[22:43] <daftykins> RudeViper: yeah, good drivers ;)
[22:43] <nnin> I will try to look it up too
[22:44] <RudeViper> daftykins and for a really popular chip not much documentation in ubuntu - lol
[22:44] <daftykins> popular? SI are cheap crap :)
[22:44] <Bashing-om> nnin: ?? ls /dev/mapper ??
[22:44] <nnin> Bashing-om how this ../../dm-0 is called ? I mean the ls field
[22:45] <rdk87> daftykins, I know what grub is. I need hands-on
[22:45] <rdk87> hello everyone, how can I change the boot order, and also delete some superflous lines from grub?
[22:46] <daftykins> rdk87: you mean you're not up for learning, you want the answers?
[22:46] <nnin>  Bashing-om The result is control  sda2_crypt
[22:46] <nnin> Bashing-om not very helpful
[22:46] <rdk87> you mean you're not up for helping, refer people to googleable answers?
[22:47] <daftykins> rdk87: i'm not trying to be rude here, i'm asking seriously :)
[22:47] <AcidRain2012> greetz
[22:47] <RudeViper> daftykins - maybe but there are a ton of them out there - and it's about all I can afford right now.
[22:47] <daftykins> i gave you resources for how to learn how, if you're saying you don't want that - fair enough
[22:48] <AcidRain2012> k, i would like to add a user who can have ssh access to /var/www. WHAT should the permissions on my /var/www files be, and what is the best way to do this?
[22:48] <rdk87> daftykins, yes, I am not in the moment to dive through grub. I guess it should be obvious, else I'd be googling.
[22:48] <daftykins> rdk87: no, people come in here all the time unwilling to search for themselves. this is why i ask.
[22:48] <RudeViper> would probably be easier if I could find out who the manufacturer is
[22:48] <AcidRain2012> as of right now. i have added myself to the www-data group. and did chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www. but when i login via ssh, and i upload a file.... the file gets uploaded as "acidrain:acidrain"
[22:48] <daftykins> RudeViper: nope, only chipsets matter in Linux land really
[22:48] <AcidRain2012> how to fix?
[22:48] <Bashing-om> nnin: I am not encrpted, so can not test result .. maybe : sudo dmsetup status ; will give us a way forward.
[22:49] <rdk87> daftykins, besides, oftentimes channel is a good place to ask for things as grub which inexperienced people can easily make mistakes with
[22:49] <rdk87> when they try to do it by themselves
[22:49] <daftykins> rdk87: that's a good justification for not learning. anyway, so you have some old kernels listed huh?
[22:51] <rdk87> daftykins, from your point of view this channels should have been redundant, which thankfully isnt. and yes, I have old kernels listed, as I mentioned twice before
[22:52] <daftykins> rdk87: dpkg -l | grep linux
[22:52] <daftykins> rdk87: then remove the older packages.
[22:52] <AcidRain2012> im going to make a pastebin of my question so someone may later help me when they have time.
[22:52] <rdk87> gosh..I think I'll come back later..
[22:53] <daftykins> ...
[22:53] <daftykins> if you have a problem with my assistance then i'll gladly leave you to it.
[22:55] <nnin> Bashing-om I think is better to explain explicitly what I need this for, so that you would be able to be more precise I want to list all the disk drives and their partitions and query details about them, in java application. The ls by-uuid gives me all the partitions in the system, but then I wan to know  which  partitions are in which physical device (i.e. /dev/sda), that's why I am asking to get the physical drive name and not  /dev/sd
[22:55] <daftykins> well, you can't please all of the people all of the time i suppose.
[22:55] <RudeViper> nope - you sure can't
[22:56] <sudormrf> I can ;P
[22:56] <daftykins> RudeViper: i googled for ubuntu and your si3512 and only got posts from years ago
[22:56] <daftykins> as in, 2008 O_O
[22:56] <AcidRain2012> http://pastebin.com/JT5wEB3q please help when someone has a chance
[22:56] <RudeViper> yeah - thats what I have been running into
[22:57] <RudeViper> but it is all I have at the moment - and being disabled with no income I can't exactly go out and spen $140 bucks plus for a card....just can't so I gotta deal with what I have. Plus being older I can use it to learn with
[22:58] <AcidRain2012> RudeViper: what tyhpe of "card"?
[22:59] <RudeViper> It's a silicon image 3512-2 satalink sata controller
[22:59] <daftykins> RudeViper: you're 100% that sudo fdisk -l -or- sudo parted -l show nothing?
[23:00] <RudeViper> haven't tried those - but everything else shows it
[23:00] <AcidRain2012> RudeViper: oh sry. i dont have any of those.
[23:00] <daftykins> i'm talking about showing disks attached here, not the card
[23:01] <AcidRain2012> http://pastebin.com/JT5wEB3q please help when someone has a chance
[23:01] <AcidRain2012> oops sry
[23:01] <daftykins> please don't repeat so often.
[23:01] <AcidRain2012> sry :o
[23:01] <RudeViper> rebooting daftykins
[23:02] <daftykins> err, why? this a dualboot on the same system or something?
[23:04] <RudeViper> daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544590 first command
[23:05] <daftykins> well i guess the card attached disks are none of those, then?
[23:05] <RudeViper> daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544596
[23:05] <RudeViper> daftykins nope
[23:05] <daftykins> yeah, i'm out of ideas then i'm afraid
[23:06] <daftykins> which ubuntu is this again?
[23:06] <RudeViper> daftykins the 160gb is on the jmicron card and the other two are on the motherboard - server 14.04.2 with xfce4 running
[23:06] <daftykins> hmm
[23:07] <RudeViper> I'm just wondering if maybe there is a jumper setting I need to change - or something I need to "run" on it -
[23:07] <RudeViper> I mean - hardware wise - I know the card works
[23:07] <AcidRain2012> RudeViper: just saying, i would suggest quassel for windows. idk anyone who likes mirc. :)
[23:07] <RudeViper> let me move some drives around and see if they show up
[23:08] <RudeViper> I like mirc in fact using it
[23:08] <AcidRain2012> yeah. your /version told me
[23:09] <daftykins> AcidRain2012: off topic, bit rude to version someone too.
[23:09] <RudeViper> ok rebooting with one of the two missing drives plugged into the jmicron card
[23:10] <RudeViper> I'm on windows so really don't care - lol
[23:10] <AcidRain2012> daftykins: sry, i found it directly related to your question about what version of ubuntu he was using
[23:11] <daftykins> no it doesn't
[23:11] <daftykins> not even vaguely :)
[23:11] <AcidRain2012> well i was expecting a ubuntu version reply. but mirc doesnt give that info :P
[23:12] <daftykins> no, no IRC client gives OS info
[23:12] <RudeViper> yep they show on jmicron card  - so it is the sata card that is the issue - either the card is bad or I have to set something up
[23:12] <daftykins> pretty sure it's the driver, as you said Windows shows the disks fine
[23:13] <daftykins> anyway just going in circles now.
[23:13] <RudeViper> yep
[23:14] <basco55> hey world
[23:26] <tnkhanh> hi how do I switch between Qt versions
[23:26] <tnkhanh> one from package manager and one is not
[23:30] <RudeViper> daftykins - ROFLMAO - just for grins I unplugged them from the internal connections and hooked them up to the external connections - and on boot they showed up - rebooting now to see if they show now
[23:32] <grannytrashface> Hi, is there in existence a lockscreen program that will prevent logging in between certain times?
[23:32] <RudeViper> daftykins - yep it works - they are showing up - the internal connections are not working - lol
[23:33] <emash> guys, how to skip efi shell on startup
[23:33] <grannytrashface> (Or some ideal way to accomplish the same thing?)
[23:34] <Anf> Guten Abend, ich wollte mal fragen, wie man in den Lesezeichen von Firefox die standart Ordner löschen kann, die von Firefox angelegt wurden sind? Bei mir sind in den Lesezeichen von Firefox drei Ordner mit den Namen: Lesezeichen Symbollleiste und Lesezeichen Menü, wie kann man diese standart Ordner von Firefox löschen oder entfernen?
[23:34] <daftykins> Anf: english only, sorry. #ubuntu-de for German
[23:34] <Anf> Upps, sorry wrong Server :)
[23:35] <grannytrashface> Anf: Ctrl+Shift+O will show the bookmark manager, at least for me
[23:36] <buddd> how do i get out of a terminal spamming y's
[23:38] <RudeViper> daftykins - wow the exact oppisite of the problems I kept seeing in the forums - the external didn't work for them but the internal connections did...lol - gonna be fun for mounting but oh well - they work now.
[23:38] <daftykins> mmhmm
[23:40] <RudeViper> daftykins - now here is the next question - I see in gparted where you can convert fat to ntfs - question is will that delete the data? The 1TB drive needs to be converted but it is loaded with data.
[23:40] <mgolisch> id make a backup
[23:41] <daftykins> why would you make it NTFS?
[23:41] <RudeViper> it's set up as fat16
[23:41] <daftykins> no, 32
[23:41] <sudormrf> why not exFat?
[23:42] <daftykins> presumably RudeViper was unaware of exFAT
[23:42] <RudeViper> it's going to be a file server - needs to be readable
[23:42] <sudormrf> I know that you can go fat to ntfs without losing data, at least in windows.
[23:42] <sudormrf> um? and?
[23:42] <sudormrf> sorry
[23:42]  * daftykins points sudormrf at the channel name
[23:42] <daftykins> ¬_¬
[23:42] <RudeViper> lol
[23:42] <sudormrf> once it becomes a network share it the clients don't care about the format the disk is on the server
[23:42] <sudormrf> heh
[23:43] <daftykins> i would not file share on a Linux host from a non-Linux file system, put it that way
[23:43] <iggymydog> is there some way i can install additional drivers to my pendrive from windows  to  use for my ubuntu 14.04
[23:43] <sudormrf> daftykins, point there being if windows can do it, surely linux can
[23:43] <daftykins> nope
[23:43] <leaf1> You could edit the iso in a VM?
[23:43] <sudormrf> RudeViper, http://askubuntu.com/questions/303091/convert-fat32-partition-to-ntfs-without-data-loss
[23:43] <sudormrf> well there you go
[23:44] <iggymydog> daftykins: nope?
[23:44] <daftykins> iggymydog: wasn't at you, sorry.
[23:44] <mgolisch> you dont plan to share a ntfs disk do you?
[23:44] <mgolisch> the performance will be horrible
[23:44] <tre_> RudeViper: also https://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted  ... but note that you should never do anything like this without back-ups for your back-ups :D
[23:44] <RudeViper> guess that wouldn't be a good idea then
[23:44] <iggymydog> daftykins: oh phew lol
[23:45] <sudormrf> agree with what daftykins said.  why do you want to use NTFS? if the host is a linux host, why not ext234?
[23:45] <daftykins> iggymydog: are you still working on that? haven't you made it persistent yet?
[23:45] <iggymydog> daftykins: im in the army i never give up lol
[23:46] <sudormrf> iggymydog, false equivalency
[23:46] <iggymydog> daftykins: the internet wont hel me any and ive tried google
[23:46] <daftykins> iggymydog: just i've watched a fair few TV episodes since you first mentioned it... ;)
[23:46] <leaf1> iggymydog: With persistence or drivers?
[23:46] <daftykins> how about that link i gave you hours ago?
[23:46] <iggymydog> everyone i just need help
[23:46] <sudormrf> iggymydog, this isn't that kind of channel
[23:47] <sudormrf> might I recommend a local therapist?
[23:47] <sudormrf> ;P
[23:47] <daftykins> iggymydog: right, what OS did you make the flash drive from?
[23:47] <daftykins> sudormrf: you've been in here like a year and still you're timewasting? grow up please
[23:47] <mikeliss> So I'm typing this on my phone because an upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10 has gone terribly awry and my system only boots to terminal now.
[23:47] <sudormrf> iggymydog, http://tuxtweaks.com/2014/03/create-linux-mint-persistent-live-usb/
[23:47] <iggymydog> daftykins: i made the oen drive from windws 8
[23:48] <daftykins> iggymydog: ok so re-do it enabling persistence with UUI from pendrivelinux.com
[23:48] <daftykins> then you can install drivers.
[23:48] <mikeliss> Anybody have ideas for recovery from the terminal?
[23:48] <daftykins> mikeliss: so you've got some kind of frankenputer stuck between versions?
[23:48] <sudormrf> iggymydog, http://www.linuxliveusb.com/help/faq/persistence
[23:49] <mikeliss> Current situation is that Ubuntu-desktop is not installed somehow, do i tried apt getting that. Result is that multiarch support is unpacked but has not been configured.
[23:49] <iggymydog> daftykins: that wont work TRUST ME lol that being said my ubuntu once worked how ever i had to enable additional drivers now it wont work
[23:50] <mikeliss> Daftykins: yep
[23:50] <daftykins> iggymydog: so you've actually tried?
[23:50] <dreki> What is the best way to quickly and easily transfer a few files from my computer running ubuntu (14.04) to my friend's running windows 8? I cannot use Samba on this university network.
[23:50] <daftykins> mikeliss: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a" ?
[23:50] <sudormrf> dreki, bluetooth?
[23:50] <daftykins> err wait that doesn't seem right
[23:51] <sudormrf> dreki, btsync, dropbox, google drive, box, etc.
[23:51] <SchrodingersScat> dreki: sftp on your side, and then whatever windows people use on his side? filezilla could sftp last time I had to check.
[23:51] <treelzebub> dreki: set up an ftp server on one machine, ftp to it from the other?
[23:51] <daftykins> dreki: something wrong with SSH?
[23:51] <simon> hi. I'm trying to dual boot with legacy. I finally installed Win7 on the first 100G partition. now that I insert my Ubuntu LiveUSB, the partition tool does not recognize the partition table and sees only "/dev/sda" being the full 256G.
[23:51] <acz32> how does ubuntu compare to debian with respect to security?
[23:52] <daftykins> well, WinSCP technically
[23:52] <simon> acz32, yes.
[23:52] <daftykins> simon: sounds like you booted ubuntu EFI
[23:52] <acz32> simon: ?
[23:52] <iggymydog> daftykins: correct! ummm yeah i made a bootable usb drive and always clicked "try ubuntu" then id click additional drivers to get the internet on...any how after installing ubuntu to the messed up hard drive multaple times the hard drive suddenely works and the internet doesent .....
[23:52] <dreki> sudormrf: treelzebub: They are very large files. I thought of setting up a temp FTP server but that seems more complicated than it needs to be for a quick transfer.
[23:52] <simon> daftykins, it does sound like that! how do I avoid that?
[23:52] <sudormrf> dreki, btsync
[23:53] <acz32> simon: yes what?
[23:53] <daftykins> simon: use your system's one-time boot menu to pick the legacy flash drive entry instead of the EFI one
[23:53] <sudormrf> dreki, https://www.btsync.com/en/
[23:53] <treelzebub> dreki: very large files means quick transfer?
[23:53] <sudormrf> treelzebub, sounds like "quick transfer" means "one time thing"
[23:54] <sudormrf> btsync is quick to setup, easy and would transfer the files rather quickly
[23:54] <dreki> treelzebub: sudormrf: yeah
[23:54] <treelzebub> ah. well if an ftp tunnel sounds like too much work, i'm not sure what to advise ;)
[23:54] <dreki> one time thing
[23:54] <simon> acz32, yes, ubuntu compares to debian with respect to security. you asked a yes/no question, so I responded. :)
[23:54] <sudormrf> dreki, btsync
[23:54] <sudormrf> or create a torrent
[23:54] <acz32> simon: no i did not ask a yes or no question
[23:54] <sudormrf> if you don't want to install btsync
[23:54] <sudormrf> that is my suggestion
[23:54] <daftykins> sudormrf: terrible idea from on a uni network as was mentioned
[23:55] <daftykins> also btsync has privacy complications imo
[23:55] <treelzebub> +1 sudormrf
[23:55] <simon> acz32, did you not?
[23:55] <sudormrf> daftykins, why is it terrible?
[23:55] <iggymydog> daftykins: any ideas
[23:55] <acz32> simon: read the first word of my question
[23:55] <daftykins> because p2p doesn't belong on a uni network
[23:55] <sudormrf> daftykins, and yet people do it all the time
[23:55] <daftykins> ah i see, people do something so that makes it right
[23:55]  * treelzebub sits down :P
[23:55] <sudormrf> daftykins, so what is your suggestion?
[23:56] <daftykins> what i said already, SCP/SFTP
[23:56] <mikeliss> Daftykins: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't have a -a flag. Aptitude is showing lots of issues though, so I'm attempting to have it fix them.
[23:56] <iggymydog> daftykins...o? lol
[23:56] <sudormrf> seems overly complex for him to setup given the one-off nature of this
[23:56] <daftykins> overly complex? sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:57] <daftykins> _done_
[23:57] <sudormrf> and then
[23:57] <sudormrf> lol
[23:57] <daftykins> look i know you're trying to help, but when you help in here all you do is throw google results at people and don't know the topics at hand
[23:57] <sudormrf> there is more than one way to skin a cat
[23:57] <daftykins> oy vey
[23:57] <dreki> daftykins: sudormrf treelzebub I can't don anything torrent related on this network without VPN and that would slow down the transfer. I guess I am stuck with setting up an FTP server. Whats the quickest way to do that that I can take down the server afterwortd.
[23:58] <iggymydog> daftykins: hello
[23:58] <treelzebub> sorry for my part, dafty.
[23:58] <daftykins> dreki: what's wrong with enabling SSH, walking to your friends computer, installing WinSCP, logging in - grabbing the files?
[23:59] <dreki> daftykins: I guess I just don't know how to do that.
[23:59] <dreki> the "enable ssh" part
[23:59] <daftykins> dreki: can your friend ping your IP on the Uni LAN?
[23:59] <daftykins> dreki: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[23:59] <daftykins> write down your IP, go to your friends, download WinSCP, enter the IP and use port 22
[23:59] <simon> acz32, I'm sorry. well, besides the differences in su/sudo usage, and debian allowing for some more fine-grained selection of repositories, you could supposedly tweak both systems in the same ways. but debian comes a little bit more locked down (in terms of not having a lot of software installed from the start).
[23:59] <daftykins> login, done.
