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] 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.

[05:31] 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] 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] hi atal421; i'm curious as to what you mean by "reasonable command line defaults for rails development" [05:41] 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] i've seen lots of shell prompts that do that; what shell are you partial to? [05:42] coolmariodude I see absolutely no reason why not. [05:42] oh wait he left [05:42] beltorak: great, excause my question [05:43] so it's called a "shell" :-) [05:43] so, i don't know what i'm partial to [05:43] in OSX i user Iterm2, with a IR_Black theme, and oh-my-zsh... and bam, everything looks pretty [05:44] ok; zsh is the actual shell then [05:44] alternatives would be bash, csh, ksh, etc [05:44] here's one: https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt [05:44] nice, so i'm looking for shells [05:44] great! [05:45] beltorak: what is the most popular one for ubuntu? [05:45] i just want a lot of support, i don't live on the edge === PaulCape_ is now known as PaulCapestany [05:46] 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] here's another: http://sebastiancelis.com/2009/11/16/zsh-prompt-git-users/ [05:47] and you aren't looking for shells, you are running zsh, you are looking for how to make the prompt prettier [05:47] beltorak: gotcha [05:47] so wait [05:47] do i have to lunch the shell after login [05:47] so login to ubuntu [05:47] then run something like: $ zsh [05:48] yeah, but you can typically do "exec zsh -l" [05:48] open the shell, i'm then in the shell [05:48] you might want to configure your terminal .... lterm2? to run zsh as a login shell [05:48] but you might not have to [05:48] ubuntu doesn't have iterm2, does it? [05:49] i dunno; i'm partial to kde (which uses konsole) [05:49] this is ubuntu server, no desktop [05:49] in which case the term is whatever I am using to ssh into the server.... [05:49] kde/konsole, cygwin [05:50] 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] yeah, if you like zsh [05:51] and install the zsh prompt prettyfiers into the server === [willwh] is now known as willwh [05:51] beltorak: great, i know what to chase after now. thank you for the tips [05:52] sure thing === willwh is now known as [willwh] [06:20] will vivid have choice in grub between systemd and upstart?

[07:06] pythonideus, What did you need? [07:06] Like, I'm relatively new but I can see if I can help. [07:06] I've been trying to get ubuntu on my laptop all day [07:07] 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] 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] and I can't get on ubuntu without the usb drive and when I use that I get a bunch of errors [07:08] umm [07:08] google hasn't helped one bit [07:09] 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] !details | pythonideus, [07:09] and then try to install using the usb again [07:09] pythonideus,: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [07:10] but I don't feel lucky [07:10] How can I remove the swap partition after installing ubuntu 14.10 === ubuntu is now known as Guest71438 [07:10] I told you all that I know buckaroo [07:10] pythonideus, first: verify your .iso that you downloaded. next: verify the USB you created [07:10] !md5sum [07:10] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [07:13] cfhowlett if I was using the wrong ISO would it let me go through the install process and then not remove windows? [07:13] well I can't boot windows anymore but I still have the option on start up [07:14] pythonideus, garbage in, garbage out. verifying your boot media is so simple and bad downloads do happen. [07:15] 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] hi! [07:16] cfhowlett do you think that using the wrong version would cause me to run into those problems? [07:16] I just realized that I should try the x86 version. I was trying to install 64 bit [07:16] I mean my windows was 64 bit but who knows [07:16] I think by now you could have performed BOTH checks and we wouldn't have to ask these questions anymore [07:16] ) [07:17] cfhowlett the page you linked doesn't give a dl link to md5sum [07:17] what's your version? [07:17] I'm on windows 7 atm [07:17] UBUNTU version? [07:17] 14.04.2 [07:18] http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/MD5SUMS [07:19] cfhowlett I meant a download for the md5sum program [07:20] \join #linaro-android [07:22] pythonideus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM#MD5SUM_on_Windows mentions a few [07:23] okay I verified it [07:23] the iso I used is the same as the one listed on ubuntuhashes [07:23] good. verify the USB [07:24] 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] i love vim but it doesn't interact that well with other gui stuff [07:25] 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] I think because I used it to set up ubuntu already [07:25] maybe if I format it and make it a bootable drive again? [07:25] Can you build Notepad++ from source on Linux? [07:25] pythonideus, USB's fail frequently. try a different one [07:26] cfhowlett I only have the one, give me a minute I'll format it [07:26] fat32 [07:28] as i see it strongly relies on the win32 api [07:28] so not really the way i guess [07:33] okay I fixed the drive [07:34] setting it up as a bootable drive then I'll verify the md5sum hash [07:34] pythonideus, :) [07:34] windows is still telling me I need to format the drive to use it :/ [07:35] pythonideus, fat32, right? [07:35] nevermind that was a pop up from earlier [07:35] usb installer is still making it a bootable drive [07:35] hey cfhowlett [07:36] on my laptop I was able to boot into Unetbootin [07:36] pythonideus, OK ... [07:36] so I'm on ubuntu on it but nothing will save until I go through the install process [07:36] but when I do that nothing happens [07:36] 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] the install program doesn't work [07:36] so NO changes to system on rebooting? [07:37] correct [07:37] well no [07:37] it made Windows 7 unusable [07:37] but other than that [07:37] um, that would count as a "change" ... [07:37] and with unetbootin, when I get to the "Installation type" page it makes me manually partition the drives -_- [07:38] one time I got it to let me select "Erase and..." whatever that option says [07:38] but then it didn't do anything [07:38] pythonideus, which is what you want! [07:38] I know it's what I want it just doesn't work lol [07:38] I've installed ubuntu before, it's on my solid state drive [07:38] but I've never done it on a system that already had an OS [07:39] pythonideus, suggestion: fix windows first. then fix the ubuntu. you'll thank us later for saving your sanity. [07:39] I don't want windows on the system though :/ [07:39] do you think formatting the hdd and using the flash drive would work? [07:41] okay usb installer finished making the flash drive bootable [07:41] how do I do the md5sum check? there's no iso file on the drive [07:41] 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] it's all unpacked [07:48] 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] Could one use the AUR in ubuntu? [07:53] wandering_golem: No. === akin_away is now known as akin [07:57] jpds, Why? [07:57] wandering_golem: Because Arch uses pacman and Debian apt/dpkg ? [07:57] wandering_golem: It's like putting diesel in your petrol car. [07:57] 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] Stovetop: I can. [07:58] so is resolvconf just broken with dhcp now? [07:59] Stovetop: Are you sure that DHCP isn't just overriding your manual set entries when it refreshes? [07:59] Stovetop: NetworkManager lets you set additional DNS servers in the GUI. [08:00] yeah, dhcp is running roughshod over all settings to the contrary - had to turn it off [08:01] just wondering if anyone else had noticed this new behaviour - it didn't used to happen [08:01] what's the best app to run a virtual copy of windows in ubuntu? sort of like vmware player [08:01] rpp601: VirtualBox? [08:02] i'll check it out jpds [08:06] I'm trying to delete partitions with gparted but there's a little key next to them [08:06] how do I delete them? === teraliv|afk is now known as teraliv_ [08:12] pythonideus: right click, unmount [08:23] I am trying to install a package but am getting "unmet dependencies" error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536546/ [08:23] package I am trying to install is gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 [08:26] i'm trying to use tmux on ubuntu server but Ctrl+b isn't working. what are my options? [08:26] (ubuntu server means no desktop view) [08:27] atal421: check your tmux config, maybe you mapped another keycombo to what ctrl+b usually does [08:27] Seveas: never used tmux, i'm all ears [08:28] Seveas: i'm ssh-ing into the server. wouldn't that mean i don't have Ctrl+b [08:28] atal421: neh, ctrl+b should just work unless your terminal emulator intercepts it. [08:28] and no terminal emulator on linux that I know of does this by default. [08:29] interesting, maybe i don't know how to click on "Ctrol + b and then %" [08:29] which terminal emulator do you use? [08:29] gnome-terminal, terminator, kterm, xterm...? [08:30] using iTerm2 on my side (osx). ssh into ubuntu server 14.04. using bash and then into tmux [08:30] does that answer the question? [08:30] zetheroo: pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad:i386 libmimic0:i386 libmodplug1:i386 libopus0:i386" [08:31] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10536612/ [08:32] zetheroo: that ppa is messing you up [08:33] 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] Seveas: gotcha [08:33] thanks [08:33] looking into it now [08:34] Ben64: this one " 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/mc3man/trusty-media/ubuntu/ trusty/main i386 Packages" ?

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] 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] zetheroo: could be a bug in the program [08:53] Ben64: so it's not possible to install 32bit software in 64bit Ubuntu? [08:53] I was under the impression this was possible ... [08:54] zetheroo: it is possible, the problem is the libraries it wants you already have as 64bit, and they conflict [08:54] the software should use the 64bit libraries, and its not for some reason === TREllis_ is now known as TREllis [08:55] hello, how should I do to get snmpd mibs-extended? [08:57] Ben64, hmm ok === badon_ is now known as badon [09:05] 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.

[10:40] ikonia and I told you that I ried following the directions on that page already [10:40] before asking here [10:40] hai: zip is not tar [10:40] Yes, I am installing the JRE, but I'm getting an error about dependencies. [10:40] White_Cat_: what directions on that page ? [10:40] Guest51004: pastebin the error [10:40] ok [10:40] "http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_host_is_not_communicating" [10:40] err [10:40] "If the problem repeats, try turning off Optimize connection buffer size."

[10:41] Guest51004: that's not a pastebin... [10:41] ikonia I am unsure the source of the problem [10:41] what is a pastebin, Ben? [10:41] I"m new here [10:41] White_Cat_: so that link tells you it's waiting for a response from the server, so what is the server doing ? [10:42] 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] @Guest pastbin is like your notepad [10:42] oh, I think I see the url in the window at the top. I'll paste it there Thanks [10:42] Guest51004: what version of ubuntu are you on [10:42] @Guest However, it is online, not in your computer [10:42] iptable, i did run the smart and read tests first..they passed [10:43] Done that Ben [10:43] Guest51004: now you have to give the link [10:43] Version is the latest lts [10:44] Guest51004: what is the output of "apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre-headless libjpeg8 libpulse0" [10:45] tar -cvf in c: c --create, v: -v, --verbose , f: -f, --file [HOSTNAME:]F, right?

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.

"apt-cache policy openjdk-7-jre-headless libjpeg8 libpulse0" [10:55] Same URL as earlier, Ben - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537786 [10:55] Hope this helps [10:56] 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] is there any way to find out if its not a driver issue ? [10:57] in the network wireless page on system settings.. when i press the wifi button.. it simply turns on the aeroplane mode on . [10:57] any help would be much appreciated [10:58] Ben64, did you get that URL - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10537786 [10:59] 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] Ah, so I should apply updates? Curious, because it's a new, clean install [11:00] What is "general" practice ... auto update on just security patches? [11:01] Guest51004: run "sudo apt-get update" first then try again [11:01] ikonia: My 'problem' is that I want to change my username [11:01] Ben64: I have not knowingly disabled any security repository [11:01] kaea: login, open gui, change username ? [11:02] 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] Thanks Ben64, will do [11:04] 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] kaea: the pid should not effect it [11:07] create new user and just cp everything inside home? === alin is now known as valentino [11:08] you mean 'sqlite3 x.sql' ?

[11:57] ramsub07, you may. without spaces between the = === PaulCapestany is now known as PaulCape_ === PaulCape_ is now known as PaulCapestany [12:00] a better question, why my g++ is only 4.8.2 in ubuntu? and not the latest? === tcpman is now known as Guest98939 [12:00] when i try updating it, it says its the latest [12:00] !latest | night_girl [12:00] night_girl: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [12:01] so how can i install a later than 4.8.2? [12:01] you ... don't [12:01] why? ... [12:01] read above [12:01] why do you need to update? [12:01] night_girl: compile your own compiler. [12:02] 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] because in 4.8.2 i definitely need it [12:03] iptable, thanks. I wanted to avoid a folder in their homes. So /usr/local/share/ is perfect. [12:04] night_girl: try #c [12:04] night_girl: #c++ [12:05] thank you [12:06] hi [12:09] 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? === Pricey is now known as PriceChilde === PriceChild is now known as Pricey [12:14] is it g++ 4.8.2 the latest compiler we should really install in ubuntu 14.04 ? [12:14] yep [12:14] is there any other version of ubuntu that supports a later release? [12:14] the later releases yes, but they aren't LTS [12:15] btw. why wouldn't you just build your own compiler? [12:15] is it difficult to do? [12:15] or just stay on 4.8.2 ... [12:15] can i have a later version of g++ in my 14.04 just for testing purposes? [12:15] so how does this work? [12:16] prayvan: you ask an ubuntu support question, wait for an answer, follow instructions, etc [12:16] prayvan, you ask a question, and wait, if somebody knows they help out [12:16] http://wiki.osdev.org/Building_GCC [12:16] ok. thanks.

[12:26] 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] night_girl, why not just make an alias [12:26] guessing its in gconf somewhere?

[15:21] 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] and how do they compare in resource usage? [15:23] jadesoturi, what are your resource constraints on the server? [15:24] 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] 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] jadesoturi: something like fluxbox or openbox is pretty light. [15:25] yeah but its also a pain in the ass to use for someone who is "windows only" thats why i was thinking lubuntu... === Omega_ is now known as Guest57413 [15:25] unless i spend some time and "polish" the setup to be "windows like" .. [15:26] jadesoturi: just install lxde then? but maybe not the lubuntu-desktop meta package, [15:26] ok. is there a big difference between lxde and lubuntu? [15:27] jadesoturi: one is a wm. The other is a...erm...build that makes a lxde-based distro out of the ubuntu base [15:28] s/build/group of packages. Sort of thing [15:28] ok. so it install like filemanager and a tons off other apps?

[15:30] hello guys [15:31] it should be easy to just install lubuntu on top of lxde if its not enough right? [15:31] jadesoturi: apt-cache depends lxed (for example) [15:31] jadesoturi: they should use the same core packages, so can't imagine why not but not something I've done before === mkv is now known as m4v [15:32] Sorry, but how do I get to undernet? [15:32] jadesoturi: how can you install lubuntu on top of lxde if it's already based on lxde? [15:32] okok:) ill go for lxde and just add packages as needed then. to keep the footprint minimal.. [15:33] 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] jadesoturi: that is probably true :) [15:35] :) [15:36] anyway i switched to Suse becouse my ubuntu always crushes when after installation of virtualbox [15:37] maybe they fix that bug in a later virsions i don't know === akin is now known as akin_away [15:40] hmm im getting cannot open display when trying to run startlxde using the vmware vsphere client console...

[15:41] so the console should just work like a normal screen === [willwh] is now known as willwh [15:41] 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).

[15:45] 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] dokoo, thx ill do that. [15:46] jadesoturi, usually you can find out the number by looking at the command line of X (display number is after a colon) [15:46] 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] jadesoturi, then you run DISPLAY=:1 whatever_program replacing the 1 with the real number [15:46] well, lucky enough we have so many countries to choose from, I'll just use another one :) thanks! [15:47] RalfJ, I"ve seen mirrors with severe lag times. might do well to try an alternate [15:48] 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] 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] RalfJ, wait 1 ... [15:49] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors take a look; some of these are up to 1 week behind [15:50] Hi, I installed offical intel driver from their package, now my second monitor does not work... can somebody help me please? [15:51] 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] ubuser141: switch to SuSe :))) [15:52] budgetz: but thats the ubuntu channel [15:52] 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?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:54] 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] cfhowlett: thanks! [15:55] RalfJ, happy2help1 [15:55] jhutchins, hmm ok. so how would i start lxde from the terminal then? [15:55] dont hink i have gdm installed. its a barebone ubuntu-server install [15:56] jadesoturi, to check X running: ps aux | grep X [15:56] dokoo, its not running since i only get the grep line back :/ [15:57] 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] jadesoturi, there you are, install xinit, then ''echo startlxde > .xinitrc'' finally ''startx'' [15:58] ok. thats waht i was wondering about earlier, if i need to install xinit to get it to run.. :) thank you [15:58] Cannot add VPN to network-manager: connection add failed: insufficient privileges === Silenced is now known as Silenced|afk [15:59] jadesoturi, startx will independently start the server as /usr/bin/X and the client as .xinitrc.

[16:07] kaea, is he part of the sudo or adm group? [16:07] kaea either that^ also you can run sudo if not in sudoesrs but it will abort after the password [16:07] EriC^^: Don't know, quick way to check? [16:08] kaea, type groups [16:08] EriC^^: username adm cdrom sudo ... [16:08] kaea yea you need to remove the user from adm and sudo [16:09] kaea, yeah, in /etc/sudoers there's the %adm and %sudo groups privileges [16:09] actually just %admin apparently [16:09] not %adm [16:10] After my laptop goes to sleep, I can't hear anything through my headphones unless I reboot. Any ideas? [16:10] ntsp: is that unwanted behaviour? [16:10] flounders, any clue in dmesg? [16:11] 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] flounders: "sleep" means programs stop running, so whatever's playing audio stops too. [16:11] dokoo: Not that I can see. [16:11] ntsp: ok thanks [16:12] flounders: Depending on the progam, it might have the ability to keep the system from sleeping. [16:13] 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] The last few days that has been broken. [16:13] flounders: Ah, you mean when it comes out of sleep there's no sound. You may need to restart alsa or pulseaudio. [16:14] jhutchins: The funny thing is the speakers work, but I can give that a try. [16:15] flounders: Yeah, my work laptop with W7 does all kinds of wierd things with the headphones.

[19:51] for best recommendion on installing ubuntu full on flash [19:52] i want have flash boot completely in from usb in all device [19:52] what do you mean by "in all device"? [19:53] 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] but i have some exprience when move flash on some pc, it don't detect devices such as graphic card... [19:54] but when using live it can boot successfully [19:54] ah. nvidia cards? [19:54] i want full os on flash, but when connect to device detect all new devices [19:55] ...when connect to pc's... [19:55] ah. well, it's a bit more involved than that. you will have to manually detect and install some devices [19:55] especially nvidia gfx cards and broadcom wifi cards. [19:56] 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] like keep installed apps and configs [19:57] ohh [19:57] but when connect to new pc like live cd detect all devices [19:58] okay, you will want to make sure you have persistent space on your USB stick. [19:58] meaning a separate partition on your USB stick, for persisted data (apps, config, etc) [19:59] yes ,presistent installed app on os... [19:59] too [19:59] if you are using the same group of PCs, then just go to each one, install the drivers you need, [19:59] then you can go to Additional Drivers to switch between the appropriate drivers for the machine you're currently working at [20:00] i'd agree only if the drive has persistence, since some aren't very good at live session operation [20:00] change drive 3 time a day? [20:01] AndChat|107604: will you be on the same network with this setup? [20:01] i work on more than 3 pc's in one day, [20:01] i think you're asking a bit much.

[20:02] USB flash drives would be too slow an experience in my opinion [20:02] AndChat, you might have better luck coming at the problem from another angle. like, using a cloud service. [20:03] How do I set up my system to auto mount external ntfs usb drives? (ntfs-3g is already installed) [20:03] treelzebub: Booting off a cloud service is even more horrible :) [20:03] tre_, daftykins, you said that i should not use it like full os [20:03] not booting! sharing data ;) [20:04] 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] treezebub , some pc don't have internet access [20:04] bringonblink: try package gpointing-device-settings [20:04] treelzebub: Thats what USB is for ;) But he wants a full blown OS on it.

But would like to mount any ntfs external usb automatically so changing fstab with a uuid # isn't relevant. [20:12] 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] Scunizi: The error message mentions /dev/sde3. Are you sure you weren't trying to mount sde3? [20:13] But i seen some guide on internet that has os on flash with no problem [20:14] 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] 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] will /etc/rc.local run commands as root ? [20:15] Scunizi: You're welcome. [20:15] Newb: Yes. [20:15] Newb: What is your end goal? [20:16] 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] mount a drive because fstab won't do it. We have tried so many things in #raspbian [20:16] and it won't load the usb hdd drive on boot [20:16] but using mount -a it loads just fine [20:16] jordan_U , i removed all sata cable [20:17] so i kinda need something so i guess i go with a ugly fix [20:17] Newb: Then what does your fstab line look like?

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] ... it and see how you like it. That said, that is a pretty big "if" that you shouldn't just ignore. [20:31] 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] 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] feral_hedgehog: ubuntu forums wouldn't hurt [20:32] jordan_U, i have this , http://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Marvel-Champagne-SP064GBUF3M50V1C/dp/B00G3ZWNY2 [20:33] but if i know that special usb flash feet my needs i will buy it [20:33] flash drives are not designed for what you're trying to do [20:33] daftykins: Yes but where exactly, Printers section, wine section? Or do I like... Report a bug or something? [20:34] i don't know, not familiar with the forum [20:35] feral_hedgehog: I'd suggest asking in ##winehq which is the main support channel for apps running under Wine [20:36] what exactly gets degraded when using usb flash so heavily--assuming no wear-and-tear by un/plugging?

[20:44] daftykins: im not willing to pay for a new hard drive and at any rate this would be good to know [20:44] ok, but for what it's worth something like this isn't really for longevity so i would not do it myself [20:45] say, what if AndChat|107604 were to get an external ssd drive and boot from that at each pc? [20:45] daftykins: plus its an old laptop my nebor threw away [20:46] iggymydog: perhaps a deck of cards is in order, if it be solitaire yer after :P [20:46] treelzebub: did ponder it, but even USB 3 would kinda negate the speed boost [20:46] * daftykins chuckles [20:46] daftykins: is true. silly usb: not universal; barely a serial bus :P [20:47] 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] i feel like i already gave you the answer [20:48] either use two and install to one from another, or make one persistent [20:48] ^^ [20:49] I read this about flash life time, just read result part: http://www.zdnet.com/article/usb-drive-life-fact-or-fiction/ [20:49] has anyone ever compiled eggdrop? or have experience with the tcl library? === willwh is now known as [willwh] [20:50] hi guys.... have any of you problem with usb soundcard on ubuntu 14.04 ??

[20:53] like mac os [20:53] 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] Hey all.. looking for a quick way to open port 443 on ubuntu 14.0 [20:55] 14.04 [20:55] Is there any way I can center the name of an app in Ubuntu?

How are you determining that port 443 is being "blocked"? Are you trying to access this port from behind NAT or a hardware firewall? === witchmaster_ is now known as witchmaster [20:58] treelzebub: thank you [20:59] What canonical try to make was a full pc on phone, with dock to connect and make full pc aywhere [21:00] that was ideal,but when i don't have it on phone, can i have it on flash usb? [21:01] so if I use this sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [21:01] then I'll have exactly the sme interface. Am I right?

[21:01] that was what i want, [21:02] varaindemian: seriously, you're going to change desktop environment just to get program names in the middle instead of the left?

[21:07] it just seems to be going a bit far to me, yeah you might start getting some surprises [21:07] just keep a list of the packages it installs ;) [21:10] Ok, just try this with keep in mind what heard here, [21:11] i will create complete report for users like me [21:13] dude, just get a laptop and a vpn [21:16] I know about laptops, i have a hybrid device too, but i can use it there, please understand situation, [21:17] I can't use internet in some device , so no cloud work anywhere, no allowed laptops , [21:18] Ok, just a usb flash === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [21:23] AndChat|107604: well, best of luck to you, mate! sounds like a really odd situation. [21:23] Yes, sadly, i hope it work, [21:24] what you prefer in this case, [21:24] Persistent Live USB [21:25] or Full Linux Install on usb [21:26] Persistent Live USB, but i would be really angry that those were the only two choices. [21:26] +1 to treelzebub's diplomatic response [21:26] bahaha [21:27] :) [21:27] AndChat|107604: I would personally prefer a standard install, because a "persistant" install doesn't allow upgrading of the kernel. [21:27] 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] that's actually wrong about Windows [21:28] but the likelihood of either system then detecting the disk without manual intervention = close to 0 [21:28] not it isn't - I don't mean using usb - I mean plugging it into the controller [21:28] 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] sata hotswap, it is possible, not on all chipsets afaik [21:29] crap - one drive has vista on it and it's being a pain trying to boot - ok thanks [21:30] jordan_ U, i heard that when upgrading kernel on usb flash with full os, they affect boot loader on connected harddisk [21:30] AndChat|107604: I don't understand your statement. [21:31] 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] AndChat|107604: I didn't understand your last message. [21:32] oh, oops. strike my last statement. i misunderstood [21:33] hey guys, I have a question [21:33] What does it take to create a simple tool like pastebinit? [21:34] scripting experience i suspect [21:34] after installing ubuntu 15 alpha + amd drivers, i seem to have a 1 inch border around my screen o.O [21:34] cluelessperson programming language of your choice and basic knowledge of sockets and TCP [21:34] OS thinks it's in the right resolution. [21:34] s/TCP/HTTP [21:34] When you have linux on usb as full os, and upgrade kernel, upgrading affect bootloader on main harddisk on pc [21:34] i don't see how that's possible. [21:35] #ubuntu+1 for non-final releases, please Arr0way [21:35] ntsp, I'd like to upload in the form of an http post, just the variables. code, tags [21:35] maybe api key [21:35] Arr0way: can tell you that sounds like a scaling mode though [21:36] cluelessperson well if you know a scripting/programming language its easily done [21:36] ntsp, I have the server pretty much all set. [21:36] ntsp, cluelessperson.com/slice/. [21:37] cluelessperson: this isn't a development help channel, please bear in mind [21:37] cluelessperson by the way awesome design :P [21:38] 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] ntsp, Thanks. :P [21:39] ntsp, it doesn't work in IE, but screw ie [21:39] will ubuntu 15.04 use gnome istead of unity? :D [21:39] varaindemian_: no [21:39] ubuntu gnome will though [21:40] I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJJ7BjpVszE [21:40] that's why I asked [21:42] varaindemian_: yeah, just as xubuntu comes with xfce, lubuntu LXDE and kubuntu KDE, http://ubuntugnome.org/ [21:43] daftykins: I see [21:50] 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] 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] 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?

[21:53] treelzebub, i see. is there a manual to follow that you know? [21:53] 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] if not there, then over at the stack exchange: http://askubuntu.com/ [21:54] thanks a lot treelzebub [21:54] sure thing!

[22:00] akkad: run # apt-get autoclean && apt-get autoremove [22:00] and see if you get different results for fixing broken pkgs [22:00] it is the first time that i used it, there is a lot applications new for me [22:03] wow the channel of ubuntu is alot bigger compared to linux min's channel [22:03] varaindemian_: yes it is, however mint isnt supported here, just an FYI [22:04] varaindemian_: (you'd be surprised how many mint users come here... anyways, i'm offtopic now :P) [22:06] 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] I think they use mint because it looks very close to XP [22:08] no off topic chatter please [22:08] #ubuntu-offtopic for that [22:09] !offtopic > varaindemian_ [22:09] varaindemian_, please see my private message [22:10] wrong user [22:12] oops [22:12] actually === [willwh] is now known as willwh [22:12] daftykins: not really, varaindemian_ was the first to ask the question that started it (and gx620 followed up) [22:12] my fault really [22:12] * daftykins gets back on topic [22:15] Is there anything in ubuntu server (I have installed xfce4 to make some things easier for me) like device manager for windows? [22:15] 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] Touchpad on sale at Fry's for $10 US [22:17] Scunizi: did you ask hp? [22:17] 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] Is that a no? [22:18] correct.. [22:20] 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] ph88: apt-cache show [22:22] ph88: are you referring to $ apt-cache search {some-package} ? [22:24] 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] RudeViper: you probably need a driver module for those or something. [22:30] daftykins - I don't know what that is... it's the first time I've had hardware not work in ubuntu [22:30] thx Ben64 [22:31] RudeViper: well, what did you consider the devman to be, 'lspci' ? [22:32] 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] RudeViper: a driver module is just the driver for the silicon image card. [22:32] see you later dudes [22:34] 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] 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] RudeViper: lsmod | grep -i sil | pastebinit [22:35] nnin: sudo blkid [22:35] oh for the overall disk... i don't think that's their purpose [22:36] daftykins rebooting it right now - will run that right away [22:36] hello everyone, how can I change the boot order, and also delete some superflous lines from grub? [22:37] nnin: Maybe : ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -alh <- ?? [22:37] 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] rdk87: 'the boot order' - as in the default kernel or OS GRUB picks at boot? [22:38] Bashing-om this the way of getting the uuids, thanks [22:39] daftykins - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544396 [22:40] nnin: How bout when the UUID is provided ? ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/57e0ac87-435a-45eb-a549-e85f3dbdec19 . [22:41] daftykins, I want to change the order of OSes shown at start window. also delete unnecessary lines (they're about 10) [22:41] RudeViper: ok so the driver module is already loaded, no ideas what's up if the drives are connected properly [22:42] 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] !grub | rdk87 [22:42] rdk87: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:42] daftykins I do know they showed up when I connected them to the windows box - on the same controller even [22:43] nnin: Yeah, there is a way .. off the top of my head I do not remember. It may come to me . [22:43] RudeViper: yeah, good drivers ;) [22:43] I will try to look it up too [22:44] daftykins and for a really popular chip not much documentation in ubuntu - lol [22:44] popular? SI are cheap crap :) [22:44] nnin: ?? ls /dev/mapper ?? === matthew is now known as Guest65189 [22:44] Bashing-om how this ../../dm-0 is called ? I mean the ls field [22:45] daftykins, I know what grub is. I need hands-on [22:45] hello everyone, how can I change the boot order, and also delete some superflous lines from grub? [22:46] rdk87: you mean you're not up for learning, you want the answers? [22:46] Bashing-om The result is control sda2_crypt [22:46] Bashing-om not very helpful [22:46] you mean you're not up for helping, refer people to googleable answers? [22:47] rdk87: i'm not trying to be rude here, i'm asking seriously :) [22:47] greetz [22:47] daftykins - maybe but there are a ton of them out there - and it's about all I can afford right now. [22:47] i gave you resources for how to learn how, if you're saying you don't want that - fair enough [22:48] 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] 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] rdk87: no, people come in here all the time unwilling to search for themselves. this is why i ask. [22:48] would probably be easier if I could find out who the manufacturer is [22:48] 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] RudeViper: nope, only chipsets matter in Linux land really [22:48] how to fix? [22:48] nnin: I am not encrpted, so can not test result .. maybe : sudo dmsetup status ; will give us a way forward. [22:49] daftykins, besides, oftentimes channel is a good place to ask for things as grub which inexperienced people can easily make mistakes with [22:49] when they try to do it by themselves [22:49] rdk87: that's a good justification for not learning. anyway, so you have some old kernels listed huh? [22:51] 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] rdk87: dpkg -l | grep linux [22:52] rdk87: then remove the older packages. [22:52] im going to make a pastebin of my question so someone may later help me when they have time. [22:52] gosh..I think I'll come back later.. [22:53] ... [22:53] if you have a problem with my assistance then i'll gladly leave you to it. [22:55] 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] well, you can't please all of the people all of the time i suppose. [22:55] nope - you sure can't === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [22:56] I can ;P [22:56] RudeViper: i googled for ubuntu and your si3512 and only got posts from years ago [22:56] as in, 2008 O_O [22:56] http://pastebin.com/JT5wEB3q please help when someone has a chance [22:56] yeah - thats what I have been running into [22:57] 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] RudeViper: what tyhpe of "card"? [22:59] It's a silicon image 3512-2 satalink sata controller [22:59] RudeViper: you're 100% that sudo fdisk -l -or- sudo parted -l show nothing? [23:00] haven't tried those - but everything else shows it [23:00] RudeViper: oh sry. i dont have any of those. [23:00] i'm talking about showing disks attached here, not the card [23:01] http://pastebin.com/JT5wEB3q please help when someone has a chance [23:01] oops sry [23:01] please don't repeat so often. [23:01] sry :o [23:01] rebooting daftykins [23:02] err, why? this a dualboot on the same system or something? [23:04] daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544590 first command [23:05] well i guess the card attached disks are none of those, then? [23:05] daftykins http://paste.ubuntu.com/10544596 [23:05] daftykins nope [23:05] yeah, i'm out of ideas then i'm afraid [23:06] which ubuntu is this again? === kde is now known as Guest28803 [23:06] 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] hmm [23:07] 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] I mean - hardware wise - I know the card works [23:07] RudeViper: just saying, i would suggest quassel for windows. idk anyone who likes mirc. :) [23:07] let me move some drives around and see if they show up [23:08] I like mirc in fact using it [23:08] yeah. your /version told me === ExtreGhost is now known as Extreminador [23:09] AcidRain2012: off topic, bit rude to version someone too. [23:09] ok rebooting with one of the two missing drives plugged into the jmicron card [23:10] I'm on windows so really don't care - lol [23:10] daftykins: sry, i found it directly related to your question about what version of ubuntu he was using [23:11] no it doesn't [23:11] not even vaguely :) [23:11] well i was expecting a ubuntu version reply. but mirc doesnt give that info :P [23:12] no, no IRC client gives OS info [23:12] 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 === t13 is now known as Guest399 === Guest399 is now known as t13_ [23:12] pretty sure it's the driver, as you said Windows shows the disks fine [23:13] anyway just going in circles now. [23:13] yep [23:14] hey world === cz^2 is now known as cz2 === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [23:26] hi how do I switch between Qt versions [23:26] one from package manager and one is not === _X_C_V_B_ is now known as Idead === Idead is now known as I`mdead === I`mdead is now known as I`m-dead === timothy is now known as Guest79569 [23:30] 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 === fengshaun_ is now known as fengshaun [23:32] Hi, is there in existence a lockscreen program that will prevent logging in between certain times? [23:32] daftykins - yep it works - they are showing up - the internal connections are not working - lol [23:33] guys, how to skip efi shell on startup [23:33] (Or some ideal way to accomplish the same thing?) [23:34] 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] Anf: english only, sorry. #ubuntu-de for German [23:34] Upps, sorry wrong Server :) [23:35] Anf: Ctrl+Shift+O will show the bookmark manager, at least for me [23:36] how do i get out of a terminal spamming y's [23:38] 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] mmhmm === thomas_ is now known as Guest73999 [23:40] 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] id make a backup [23:41] why would you make it NTFS? [23:41] it's set up as fat16 [23:41] no, 32 [23:41] why not exFat? [23:42] presumably RudeViper was unaware of exFAT [23:42] it's going to be a file server - needs to be readable [23:42] I know that you can go fat to ntfs without losing data, at least in windows. [23:42] um? and? === ExtreGhost is now known as Extreminador [23:42] sorry [23:42] * daftykins points sudormrf at the channel name [23:42] ¬_¬ [23:42] lol [23:42] once it becomes a network share it the clients don't care about the format the disk is on the server [23:42] heh [23:43] i would not file share on a Linux host from a non-Linux file system, put it that way [23:43] is there some way i can install additional drivers to my pendrive from windows to use for my ubuntu 14.04 [23:43] daftykins, point there being if windows can do it, surely linux can [23:43] nope [23:43] You could edit the iso in a VM? [23:43] RudeViper, http://askubuntu.com/questions/303091/convert-fat32-partition-to-ntfs-without-data-loss [23:43] well there you go [23:44] daftykins: nope? [23:44] iggymydog: wasn't at you, sorry. [23:44] you dont plan to share a ntfs disk do you? [23:44] the performance will be horrible [23:44] 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 === tre_ is now known as treelzebub [23:44] guess that wouldn't be a good idea then [23:44] daftykins: oh phew lol [23:45] agree with what daftykins said. why do you want to use NTFS? if the host is a linux host, why not ext234? [23:45] iggymydog: are you still working on that? haven't you made it persistent yet? [23:45] daftykins: im in the army i never give up lol [23:46] iggymydog, false equivalency [23:46] daftykins: the internet wont hel me any and ive tried google [23:46] iggymydog: just i've watched a fair few TV episodes since you first mentioned it... ;) [23:46] iggymydog: With persistence or drivers? [23:46] how about that link i gave you hours ago? [23:46] everyone i just need help [23:46] iggymydog, this isn't that kind of channel [23:47] might I recommend a local therapist? [23:47] ;P [23:47] iggymydog: right, what OS did you make the flash drive from? [23:47] sudormrf: you've been in here like a year and still you're timewasting? grow up please [23:47] 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] iggymydog, http://tuxtweaks.com/2014/03/create-linux-mint-persistent-live-usb/ [23:47] daftykins: i made the oen drive from windws 8 [23:48] iggymydog: ok so re-do it enabling persistence with UUI from pendrivelinux.com [23:48] then you can install drivers. [23:48] Anybody have ideas for recovery from the terminal? [23:48] mikeliss: so you've got some kind of frankenputer stuck between versions? [23:48] iggymydog, http://www.linuxliveusb.com/help/faq/persistence [23:49] 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] 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] Daftykins: yep [23:50] iggymydog: so you've actually tried? [23:50] 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] mikeliss: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a" ? [23:50] dreki, bluetooth? [23:50] err wait that doesn't seem right [23:51] dreki, btsync, dropbox, google drive, box, etc. [23:51] 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] dreki: set up an ftp server on one machine, ftp to it from the other? [23:51] dreki: something wrong with SSH? [23:51] 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] how does ubuntu compare to debian with respect to security? [23:52] well, WinSCP technically [23:52] acz32, yes. [23:52] simon: sounds like you booted ubuntu EFI [23:52] simon: ? [23:52] 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] 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] daftykins, it does sound like that! how do I avoid that? [23:52] dreki, btsync [23:53] simon: yes what? [23:53] simon: use your system's one-time boot menu to pick the legacy flash drive entry instead of the EFI one [23:53] dreki, https://www.btsync.com/en/ [23:53] dreki: very large files means quick transfer? [23:53] treelzebub, sounds like "quick transfer" means "one time thing" [23:54] btsync is quick to setup, easy and would transfer the files rather quickly [23:54] treelzebub: sudormrf: yeah [23:54] ah. well if an ftp tunnel sounds like too much work, i'm not sure what to advise ;) [23:54] one time thing [23:54] acz32, yes, ubuntu compares to debian with respect to security. you asked a yes/no question, so I responded. :) [23:54] dreki, btsync [23:54] or create a torrent [23:54] simon: no i did not ask a yes or no question [23:54] if you don't want to install btsync [23:54] that is my suggestion [23:54] sudormrf: terrible idea from on a uni network as was mentioned [23:55] also btsync has privacy complications imo [23:55] +1 sudormrf [23:55] acz32, did you not? [23:55] daftykins, why is it terrible? [23:55] daftykins: any ideas [23:55] simon: read the first word of my question [23:55] because p2p doesn't belong on a uni network [23:55] daftykins, and yet people do it all the time [23:55] ah i see, people do something so that makes it right [23:55] * treelzebub sits down :P [23:55] daftykins, so what is your suggestion? [23:56] what i said already, SCP/SFTP [23:56] 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] daftykins...o? lol [23:56] seems overly complex for him to setup given the one-off nature of this [23:56] overly complex? sudo apt-get install openssh-server [23:57] _done_ [23:57] and then [23:57] lol [23:57] 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] there is more than one way to skin a cat [23:57] oy vey [23:57] 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] daftykins: hello [23:58] sorry for my part, dafty. [23:58] dreki: what's wrong with enabling SSH, walking to your friends computer, installing WinSCP, logging in - grabbing the files? [23:59] daftykins: I guess I just don't know how to do that. [23:59] the "enable ssh" part [23:59] dreki: can your friend ping your IP on the Uni LAN? === ntz is now known as Guest19011 [23:59] dreki: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [23:59] write down your IP, go to your friends, download WinSCP, enter the IP and use port 22 [23:59] 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] login, done.
