[00:00] dreki, for real. what daftykins recommends is super easy. i was skeptical years ago and learned in 5 minutes. [00:00] as long as the Uni isn't somehow filtering access between systems on the LAN, the above is fine [00:00] I just pinged my IP from his [00:01] chop chop, then :) [00:01] thanks I will try it. [00:03] daftykins, there's no one-time boot menu on this thing. >_< is there some way to tweak the LiveUSB instead? === stefen667_ is now known as v___v [00:03] simon: what kinda machine is it? enter the BIOS Instead, might be a boot menu on the boot/exit pages [00:03] it differs from machine to machine [00:04] daftykins, it's a Sony Vaio Pro 13. the BIOS only lets me choose to boot "external device" before "internal device". [00:04] sounds like you're talking about adjusting boot order [00:04] daftykins, my other (Lenovo x201) has that boot menu if I hit F12. it's a very nice ascii-artsy one. the vaio is too modern... [00:05] does it have secure boot off? fast boot off? CSM on? [00:05] yup. [00:05] you can't yup three things :) [00:05] I've spent days previous to today getting past all that hell. [00:05] two days to be exact. :) I finally gave up dual-booting with a GUID partition table. [00:06] I could wipe Windows and install Ubuntu in legacy mode, then try and install windows and hope that *it* sees the partition table, but honestly I have more faith in Linux for being the second system. [00:07] simon: when ubuntu boots, do you see a black screen with white text reading 'GRUB...' at the top? [00:07] or the purpley logo screen... [00:08] the purpley logo screen. I'll just check and see if CSM is on again. [00:08] that sounds like legacy boot [00:08] it is. [00:08] okay. [00:08] then why are we having this entire conversation D: [00:09] because my LiveUSB does not recognize my partition table made in Win7! [00:09] boot it again and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [00:09] yeah, I'll launch parted and we'll see [00:09] if you can do that before i go put the bins out, i might have time before i go sleep [00:09] ok :D [00:09] nah not the GUI gparted, the above is CLI magic [00:09] right [00:10] I had a first encounter with GNU parted today. it seems nice, except the HDD didn't want to report the optimal sector size or whatever, so I had to whip out my calculator. I eventually gave up, becaues it wouldn't accept anything and went ahead with whatever the Win7 installer made. [00:10] Hey, newbie linux question. What's the best practise for workspace locations? [00:11] Eg, /usr/NimWorkspace? [00:11] I assume not right in root. [00:11] Hi there. Has anyone got any info on xfce screen tearing? [00:12] mpthrapp, perhaps I am interpreting your question wrong. what do you mean by workspace, exactly? [00:12] hi how do I switch between 2 Qt versions on Ubuntu, one from package manager and one is not [00:13] sudormrf: The place where I store my source files for any projects that I'm working on. [00:13] sudormrf: Like, I'm planning on writing some Nim. Where should I keep the source code? [00:14] mpthrapp, ah. my suggestion would be somewhere in ~. [00:14] sudormrf: Okay, so in home? [00:14] Anyone know of a secure european cloud storage solution that records file insertion times ? i need a alternative to wuala and tresorit (nothing like google drive sky drive or dropbox please) [00:14] mpthrapp, /home/$username$ [00:14] sudormrf: Okay, thanks. [00:15] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10545134/ -- apparently, it *looks* like a GPT table to parted, but it doesn't contain a fake msdos partition table as it should. [00:16] daftykins, I don't know what to believe. I booted the Win7 installer through legacy, but I don't know what magic they used. I'll try "yes" [00:16] simon: hrmm, i was sure you said you'd installed 7 as legacy, yeah [00:16] simon: what's your win7 media? [00:16] daftykins, a USB. [00:17] simon: ok, how did you make it up? i personally throw the files on from an ISO from a Windows system [00:18] actually, it's a bit weird that it says that it doesn't recognize the fake msdos partition, because the win7 installer actually made a 100MB FAT32 partition at the beginning. [00:18] daftykins, yes, that's what I did. took one of those Win7 ISOs and some tool that puts it on the disk. === I`m-dead is now known as _X_C_V_B_ [00:19] simon: ok there's actually multiple ways to confirm whether the install of 7 is legacy or EFI, you could do that... also you could delete the EFI boot image on the flash drive to make it so it can only be booted legacy. i'd probably zero fill the first 100MB of that disk to nuke it and start from scratch [00:20] amusingly i was about to write up a guide on how to install ubuntu beside EFI'd win8 on a Lenovo i got yesterday [00:20] hehe [00:20] it's pretty easy [00:21] I talked to a self-acclaimed bootloader expert at my university dept. who went into a 10 minute talk on how he'd made his own bootloader and how grub was broken and untrustworthy, and when I finally got a word in, I said "Well, I'm trying to use EFI." and he said "Oh. Well, then I have no clue." :) [00:22] so uh, you're saying: wipe the partition table, rebuild it (and don't let the win7 installer do this)? [00:22] sounds like a fanatic, defend yourself with shower gel / soap next time [00:22] simon: actually boot up win7 quickly and share a screenshot of diskmgmt.msc via imgur.com or whichever [00:23] i can tell at a glance if it EFI installed [00:23] Hi, anyone here use a Dell XPS 12 with 14.04? The ultrabook is really warm under even 20% load. [00:23] daftykins, how would you tell that at a glance? j/w [00:23] there's lots of weirdos in university depts. he once asked me, "So, do you really know any other language than Standard ML?" as if it's even possible to go through an entire university CS program knowing one extremely esoteric language. :P [00:23] daftykins, ok === ivan_ is now known as Guest44823 [00:24] sudormrf: size, name, layout [00:24] I want to change my username on ubuntu desktop. Seeing I'm the only user, is it easier to create a new user and add same usergroups to this one, or better to do actual changes on the current user? [00:25] daftykins, gotcha [00:27] daftykins, imgur.com/ZdZzxvY [00:27] oops [00:27] eamonn: i am on an XPS M1530 [00:27] daftykins, http://imgur.com/ZdZxzvY [00:27] they're all looking at my mouse cursor disapprovingly [00:28] daftykins, doesn't look like EFI to me. would you agree? [00:28] kaea, not much difference. [00:28] mmm that definitely looks like a standard 7 legacy install [00:28] daftykins, it does? === Yukkino is now known as Yukkii [00:28] anyone using java 8 + javaFX in ubuntu? [00:28] simon, looks like a standard 7 legacy install to me as well [00:28] but ubuntu thinking the drive is some kinda hybrid is worrying [00:29] I am tempted to believe it's win7's fault, making it look like a GPT partition but filling it with MBR stuff. [00:29] simon: go back to ubuntu and re-run the command then press no instead of yes [00:29] er, instead of ctrl+C i mean [00:29] daftykins, I actually tried with all of no/yes/No/Yes with no effect. [00:29] ah ok [00:29] treelzebub does the laptop run pretty warm with ubuntu? [00:29] well if you don't mind reinstalling Windows 7, i'd nuke the disk [00:30] daftykins, and install Ubuntu first? [00:30] simon: nah, always easier to install Linux last [00:31] eamonn: this thing runs pretty hot with just about anything more than a bios ;) 45 degrees currently. when running anything cpu/gpu intensive, it can reach 70C. [00:31] I'll do it. I came up with this joke to tell my roomate for whom I'm installing this dual-boot thing. she knows this is my third attempt, so I thought I'd alarm her: "I've got some good news and some bad news. the good thing is that I made Linux work. the bad thing is that I made Windows work." but I can't drop the punchline if I only have one of the systems working at a time. [00:31] daftykins, then I'm not sure what to do differently. should I make the partition table in Linux? [00:31] that was the case with win7 64, and is now the same with ubuntu 14.04 amd64 [00:31] daftykins, could he not try boot-repair? [00:32] haven't been following along completely [00:32] sudormrf: to fix booting what? ;) [00:32] simon: well once you boot in i'll give you the command to nuke the drive nicely [00:32] daftykins, ah, that's fine... I know my way around dd :) [00:32] eamonn: i have been running the crap out of this machine for almost 6 years now, though. it seems to handle the high temps fine. [00:32] simon: vewy gewd, fwiw only do the first 100MB [00:33] daftykins, yeah thanks for the info. [00:33] simon: once that's set, do a "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [00:33] daftykins, the first 100mb holds the windows boot manager. [00:33] sure you know that [00:33] treelzebub, thanks for the info, had a 1530 for years, great laptop [00:33] daftykins, I assume you're going to bed? [00:34] sudormrf: i'm really struggling not to be super sarcastic right now [00:34] simon: i ought to pop up the stairs yeah, but you'll have that pastebin to me in like 4 mins right! [00:34] :D [00:35] daftykins, w/e. [00:35] right :) [00:35] daftykins, lemme know if you take bitcoin tips :D [00:35] eamonn: ubuntu 14.04 runs like a dream on it; but you will likely have to deal with broadcom and nvidia proprietary drivers. standard linux install procedures :) [00:37] perhaps you are referring to the 100GB, not 100MB, but w/e [00:37] daftykins, ok, now that I nuked /dev/sda, parted just says unrecognised disk label. that's fine, I guess. [00:38] you know what you are doing. I will watch the master at work. [00:38] cool, you can ensure the win7 flash drive won't boot EFI by making sure it doesn't have a /boot/EFI/bootx64.efi file [00:38] daftykins, should I make an msdos partition table? [00:38] right. cool. [00:38] nah, 7 can be trusted, just maybe the remnants of 8 were still there last time? [00:39] so 7 might've kinda confused the situation [00:39] I don't think they were. [00:39] partitions might've been gone but the GPTness remained [00:39] but the GPTness should be wiped with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=100? [00:40] it is now yeah, but before it wasn't [00:40] unless you dd'd before installing 7 too o0 [00:40] ok. I'll try installing windows again. that'll be half an hour I think. [00:40] I didn't, actually, but I did use cfdisk to remove the partition table. [00:40] but yeah, that means there was probably crap on the disk [00:40] a nice round 100GB is 102500 btw [00:41] in the Windows installer [00:41] mmm, i'm not ruling out Sony quirkiness [00:41] :D [00:41] I know... I got that number with my calculator a couple of hours ago. parted still thinks that doesn't align, but maybe I should ignore it. [00:42] I got this line during boot, anyone know what the signifigance is? * Loading cpufreq kernel modules... ^M[fail * Starting CPU interrupts balancing daemon[ OK ] [00:42] Server seemed to boot fine despite that [00:42] I think it was just because it couldn't predict it properly because of missing info from the disk. [00:44] hi [00:44] fresnel_0, hi. cool nick. [00:45] daftykins, I really appreciate your effort. thanks a lot. [00:45] thanks. nice nick too, i dont dare to write it [00:45] Dunno any better place to ask, but is there an add on for firefox that will let me pan/scroll on the page with the spacebar, similar to in gimp/photoshop? [00:46] simon: np, haven't won yet though :> === t13 is now known as Guest83946 [00:50] where would I find the whois command? [00:50] wat [00:50] lattera: you want to whois someone on IRC? [00:50] type "/whois nickname" [00:51] no, like look up domain info in the terminal [00:51] like: whois google.com [00:51] lattera, if you are talking about commands in linux, typing which commandnamehere will locate the command on the system. if you are looking for a package that contains it, apt-get install whois [00:51] questiosn with context are ace. [00:52] i don't think that's a thing, use a web service [00:52] whois - intelligent WHOIS client [00:52] why isn't whois installed by default? [00:52] it is a thing, as per apt-cache search [00:52] lattera, I just tried it and it said it wasn't installed [00:52] on 14.10 [00:53] because why on earth would every user do that... [00:53] after installing, it returns the results you would expect [00:54] Where can I change the settings of the alt-tab menu for xfce? They show that it has a list view in the update.. [00:54] daftykins: Just wanted to let you know that the file transfer seems to be working well using openssh. Thanks for your help. [00:55] dreki1: no problemo, thanks for the feedback :> [01:02] I just uninstalled gnash and some of its dependencies, and I got a whole bunch of errors related to booting stuffs [01:02] okay, win7 installed again. booting ubuntu now. [01:02] 嗨 [01:03] …oh, it was because I passed `--auto-remove`. It removed some old kernels. [01:04] daftykins, yeah!!!!!! [01:04] daftykins, it recognizes the MBR! [01:04] daftykins, thanks!!! :) [01:04] * daftykins dons shades [01:05] mbr？ [01:05] does anyone know about the i8kutils tool? [01:05] master boot record. MSDOS partition table format [01:08] it makes sense to ditch swap when I've got 8G RAM and an SSD, right? [01:08] simon: no === thomas_ is now known as Guest78814 [01:09] simon: You always need swap. No matter what you do. [01:09] Hello! [01:09] filippo: hi [01:09] I've run without swap on my laptop with 4G RAM and SSD for 2½ years now. [01:09] Hi ._. [01:09] simon: Well, you've probably had issues. Esp if you used your computer for a long time. [01:09] Like I have [01:09] 20:09:42 up 5 days, 1:55, 6 users, load average: 0.50, 0.58, 0.51 [01:09] simon: well, wasn't this for someone else? do they not sleep/hibernate the thing? [01:09] NegativeFlare, yeah, but not related to swap as far as I know :D [01:10] daftykins, they sleep it. but my computer can sleep without a swap partition? (maybe it's using a swap file instead?) [01:10] Alright, I'm just warning you. I'm a developer and I work in IT. And I've seen tons of tickets where people didn't create a swap parition, and the system ran out of RAM, and kernel paniced. [01:12] simon: i've gotta agree with NegativeFlare, had plenty of users in here too who say their systems ground to a halt after some memory leak consumed all RAM then had nowhere to go [01:12] tough call though, not like you can't undo it later [01:12] mhm [01:12] alright, bed for real [01:12] NegativeFlare, daftykins right... I've been close to being screwed with firefox running crazy. [01:13] heh daftykins, good night man [01:13] now, I do have a memory monitor in my upper corner, but yeah, I get the picture. [01:13] simon: psst, if you're feeling rich feel free to give www.kodi.tv a few dollars ;) [01:13] yeah, good night daftykins. and thanks a lot! [01:13] my pleasure, enjoy [01:13] daftykins, hehe ok [01:13] I had a boyfriend named "Ubuntu" once [01:13] he would "play the bongos" on my ass [01:13] :3 [01:14] you could at least tell us the next line in the song [01:14] awww [01:14] * daftykins goes [01:14] hmm, interesting. the Windows 7 option in grub shows this ubuntu-like color on the screen, a windows logon sound is heard, and the color stays like that. [01:15] Oh, it's known. [01:15] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/+bug/591823 [01:15] Launchpad bug 591823 in aptitude ""File descriptor \d+ (\S+) leaked on lvs invocation.""

[01:18] amit-pc, 'normal' depends on specs model/vendor === willwh is now known as [willwh] [01:28] my temperature is ranging between 48-52 during use. Is it normal or high? [01:29] I can control the fan speed using i8kutils. Just want to know when I should use that [01:29] amit-pc: Fan speed should be controlled automatically, i.e. it should increase when needed due to heat. [01:30] It doesnt do so well on Dell Laptops [01:30] Yesterday, the temperature went upto 60 degrees [01:30] and the fan did not start [01:47] anyone know how to track down a kernel bug that starts eating cpu after about 15 mins [01:48] load skyrockets from to from 0 to 1.55 when this kernel process starts [01:49] all that top shows is kworker [01:53] are pids recycled? [01:55] so if a process is killed might it's pid be assigned to another process (assuming no reboots)? === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon === drew__ is now known as dcplaya_ [02:02] Hey everyone.

[02:53] Hi all, i've gone quite a bit down the rabbit hole here trying to fix a few things. I am having some weird issues so I can debsums to check where the files differed from the repositories. I have 2 things that are not matching: /sbin/start-stop-daemon and /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32-generic [02:53] are they supposed to not match or do I need to repair them/ [02:54] Horge: I would expect both of those to match, but I haven't specifically tried debsums on my system recently. [02:56] Jordan_U: how do i go about repairing these two things? [02:58] AcidRain2012, seems that the chmod should have the group sticky bit set (chmod g+s) ... goolge for setgid ... If set, it preserves group ownership. [03:00] Horge: For vmlinuz-3.12.0-32-generic, you should have multiple newer kernels installed. So you can just confirm that "uname -r" shows you're already running a newer kernel than that, then "sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.13.0-32-generic". [03:00] hello [03:01] hey Windows94 [03:01] Hey everyone. My Ubuntu server recently started having little freezes. It seems worse when downloading at high speed.

[03:08] !debootstrap | duckey [03:08] duckey: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [03:09] Horge: why would you have ever removed dpkg?

[03:18] well... i guess ownership kinda covers both user and group ;) [03:19] pavlos: ill look into this. im not sure if this is what i wanna do yet. because i will be giving someone access to a php jailed directory in a few weeks. trying to recover my old setup. [03:19] but for them to have access via ssh, all files that lead up to their dir must have root [03:19] /var/www/files <--- here will be there folder (for example). i need to be able to access that as well. [03:19] so it will have root:root [03:21] clear [03:21] AcidRain2012, not easy for me to test your setup but of what I remember, sticky bit preserves ownership. === mkv is now known as m4v [03:28] AcidRain2012: just come in halfway through, but if you add a group 'developers' amd make you, the user and www-data members of that group, then chgrp -R developers /var/www/files and chmod g+s -R /var/www/files, would that do what you want? [03:32] somsip: k lets back up. ignore the www-data. the path /var/www/files ALL needs to be owned by root:root. /vara/www/*.* needs to be owned by www-data. ADDITIONALLY, when i upload files, regardless to where i upload them, the permissions that were alrdy set to those files, needs to be preservered [03:33] ey [03:33] hey [03:33] AcidRain2012: I thought you had some other user you wanted to grant access to the dir too?

[04:02] im trying to compiled gnu parted on buntu 14.04 and im getting an error about libuuid and its telling me to look into some packages like efs2prog or somethin but that package doesnt exist. i have already instsalled the uuid packages [04:02] compile* [04:03] LMNOP_: idk, possible I guess. I could try reinstalling or downgrading [04:04] 1 [04:04] how do I fix this?

[04:07] kevinfish, the most recent is glibc-doc_2.19-0ubuntu6.6_all.deb if I red the directory [04:08] *read [04:08] pavlos: is there a way to update synaptic so it sees it automagically? [04:09] kevinfish, that idk === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [04:09] pavlos: yeah, I probably have to do it with apt somehow [04:10] kevinfish, sure, use wget to get the file [04:12] kevinfish, sudo dpkg -i === Guest98794 is now known as daynaskully === aurorauser is now known as PhoxMuldir [04:13] kevinfish: the pthread problem is probably that the makefile has -lpthread in the wrong spot, if it uses autotools it probably has it in LDFLAGS or CFLAGS instead of LDADD [04:14] kevinfish: installing another glibc won't fix anything but will probably break alot of others [04:14] oracle-java8-installer update install is taking long. too long. why?? === Yukkii is now known as Yukkino [04:14] trism: ok, thx i'll try that [04:16] trism: nope, same problem [04:17] kevinfish: it is almost definitely the problem, what did you change? [04:17] somsip: i do. the users name, lets say USERX. will have access to /var/www/files [04:18] BUT /var/www/files needs to be owned by root:root. everything /var/www/files/*.* will be owned by USERX [04:18] asdf [04:18] trism: I added that line: http://pastebin.com/XyTirqkB [04:19] I'm a n00b.

[04:23] hi. everyone. i'm happy with git and symbolic link managing my dotfiles, but wondering how did you guys manage the HOME directory? it's anoying to see all those `.balabala` files that generated by different applications jumping every where [04:23] storay: Edit/Profile Preferences/Color Tab, uncheck use system colors and you can change it [04:24] trism: ahh yes, thank you [04:24] \ [04:24] ok I think I figured out how to use commands.

I never made any adjustments while the utilities were installed. Removed CCSM and unity-tweak-tool but system is still broken. What happened? How do I fix? [04:38] hey guys, I can install ubuntu and have my windows os working too? [04:38] Yes Pratik151 [04:38] can u link me to good tutorial pls [04:39] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [04:39] oracle-java8-installer update install is taking long. too long. why?? [04:39] ok do i need to install Vm for that? [04:39] No Pratik, I took the time to find it, read it [04:40] ahhh. ok. it just finished. thanks. [04:41] ok i am reading it thnx Quantos [04:41] NP, anytime [04:42] Wow, a fellow Canadian [04:46] "Turn screen off when inactive for: (option)" no longer works. Just goes instantly to login screen instead. How do I fix this? === cynical is now known as scream [04:49] wait [04:49] guys [04:50] i used chmod -R g+rw /var/www [04:50] and it CHANGED ownership when i uploaded [04:50] AcidRain2012: g+s [04:51] oh snap [04:51] what is "s"? [04:51] AcidRain2012: sticky [04:51] er.... what is "g"? [04:51] group [04:51] AcidRain2012: yes [04:51] ah right [04:51] k let me try this again. [04:51] AcidRain2012: Do you want to know about "+" too? ;-) [04:51] LOL [04:52] :P [04:52] AcidRain2012: sorry - good luck :) [04:52] ur too funny ;) [04:52] "Turn screen off when inactive for: (option)" no longer works. Just goes straight to the login screen the instant the screen turns off, thus turning the screen back on AND losing any open apps.. How do I fix this? [04:52] so im gonna do /var/www/*.* = www-data:www-data . /var/www = root:root. /var/www/files = root:root. [04:53] then. /var/www/files/*.* = USERX:USERX [04:53] and huh.... [04:53] should work [04:54] AcidRain2012: then www-data may not be able to write to /var/www/files, like logs of cache files. Depends on permissions [04:54] *or [04:56] somsip: hmmm [04:56] right [04:56] somsip: there is a dir, /var/www/files/logshere that needs to be root:root. [04:56] www-data will never be writing to that file [04:57] ah [04:57] i see what your saying [04:57] yea that is an issue [04:57] thinking about permissions is hard :/ [04:57] AcidRain2012: hence my original suggestion. Make a group that contains everyone who needs access to the folder. So www-data, the user, and maybe you. Make the folder g+s so anything written by any of those users can be read by any of those users. === timothy is now known as Guest58893 [04:58] AcidRain2012: and the folder chgrp -R {new group} too of course [04:58] hmmm. sry. i didnt see you were saying that before [04:59] AcidRain2012: you can protect individual subfolders, or g+s on them, within the main folder. It depends how tight you want security to be, and how complicted you're prepared to make it [05:00] somsip: hang on. im doing this now [05:03] k, just to be sure. chmod -a (is to preserve group you are alrdy in) -G www-group acidrain [05:03] is correct [05:03] right? [05:03] AcidRain2012: do you mean usermod? [05:03] yeah sry [05:03] usermod [05:04] AcidRain2012: TBH, I always look it up, ever since that time I removed all existing groups and left me with the one I meant to add. [05:04] LOL. i know. same here. ive done that before. :S [05:04] hang on [05:06] somsip: yep. i was right [05:06] AcidRain2012: it looked good to me, but I do *always* check that sort of thing [05:07] "Turn screen off when inactive for: (option)" no longer works. Just goes straight to the login screen the instant the screen turns off, thus turning the screen back on. How do I fix this? [05:08] Can you stop repeating yourself, if someone knows they'll respond [05:08] BlackDalek: you on a laptop? [05:08] AcidRain2012, yes. [05:08] BlackDalek: k, there is more options you have to disable. [05:09] the "when unplugged" options. have the same settings [05:11] AcidRain2012, there are no options under "brightness & lock" for plugged/unplugged. [05:11] er... hang on [05:12] AcidRain2012, There are options for "on battery" or "plugged in" under "power" settings.. but both of those refer only to suspending.. not screen off. [05:12] BlackDalek: sry im using KDE. under power management -> energy saving -> Screen saver setting (turn this on and set to x). suspend session (off). [05:13] AcidRain2012, ok. thanks anyway ;) [05:13] BlackDalek: yes. you said it just locks the screen. perhaps it locks on suspend? stop it from suspending [05:13] BlackDalek: i remember on my laptop it took me some time to get those tricky settings down. but i assure u. they work [05:13] BlackDalek, click on the battery icon, look at the options [05:13] AcidRain2012, it is already set for "don't suspend" for both plugged or on battery. [05:14] did you click "apply"? lol [05:14] ;p [05:14] AcidRain2012, unity doesn't come with apply button.. simply changing the options applies them. [05:15] sry bro. im no help here :( [05:16] pavlos, battery options on the battery icon just brings up same controls/option as through the settings panel [05:17] BlackDalek, strange ... I have laptop, 14.04, unity ... I rmc on the battery (top,right), power settings, I see on battery and when plugged options [05:21] pavlos, all I get under battery icon is 1. a status of the battery "Battery (charged)" which brings up statistics about battery if clicked; 2. "Show Time in Menu Bar" ; 3. "Show percentage in Menu Bar"; and 4. "Power Settings" [05:22] BlackDalek, click on the 4th Power settings [05:23] pavlos, already did.. just brings up same controls as "system settings..." > "Power" [05:24] k, time to test out my permissions [05:24] ive created www-group. added acidrain and www-data to it [05:25] How can I create an irc server? Yes I have looked at the documentation. [05:25] pavlos, my issue is not with making the computer "suspend" or "power off" (which is the only thing I can do with those power controls). My issue is with the screen not staying off when inactive (setting under "Screen & Lock"). [05:26] look into ircd? [05:26] duckey: first google link of "linux how to irc server" [05:26] Alredy did [05:26] so what is your specific question? [05:26] !ot | duckey (it's not something to ask here) [05:26] duckey (it's not something to ask here): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [05:26] BlackDalek, I will join this channle from my laptop and share the screenshot [05:27] After installing CCSM and unity-tweak-tool, laptop can no longer turn screen off without instantly returning to login screen. I never made any adjustments while the utilities were installed. Removed CCSM and unity-tweak-tool but system is still broken. What happened? How do I fix? [05:31] how much HDD space latest 64bit ubuntu will need? [05:32] pavlos, sorry, I meant "brightness & lock" before.. not "screen & lock". [05:34] BlackDalek, I'm on from my lapto pbut need to figure how to upload the shot [05:35] how much size partition should I make for ubuntu 64bit? [05:35] hmmm [05:36] jennie: I'd say like 20GB or so [05:36] Alright :-) [05:36] well, maybe more if you're including /home [05:36] I bought a new 120gb ssd today and I want to install both windows and UBuntu on that SSD so I want to decide the partition size [05:37] pavlos, http://imagebin.ca/ perhaps? [05:37] ?? [05:37] On my uni wifi network (and only there) I have serious connect issues, where it will go in and out repeatedly. Are there any ways to figure out what's going on? Spectrum analysis? [05:38] BlackDalek, http://postimg.org/image/gg8fq4di5/63baa691/ [05:40] man wtf. /var /www /jkdf2 /JKBot /JKArchive /JKDF2 are ALL owned by root:root. yet i get bad ownership or modes on chroot directory [05:40] pavlos_, yes.. that is identical to what I get (exactly the same as "system settings" "power"). And really no help at all to my problem (screen does not stay off but instead goes to login screen immediately). [05:41] Ben64: is 50gb enough? [05:41] just for programs and files, not for big size files as I have other HDD for big size files and data [05:41] pavlos_, thanks for trying anyway. [05:45] pwnt [05:45] got it [05:45] hi [05:46] hi drummerboy [05:46] hi jennie [05:47] anyone here was an Amiga user?

[09:39] Can someone explain me how to change permissions on files in ubuntu via terminal? [09:40] Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help for a weird connection problem. My Internet (wifi) is sometimes very slow, sometimes non working at all, and sometimes OK, although I don't touch the setup. [09:40] The problem doesn't come from my home network, because my computer reacts exactly the same way on many different networkds [09:41] ?? [09:41] and other computers on the same network have a normal connection [09:42] avilqu: When you installed ubuntu did you had to install manually wifi drivers? [09:42] no, everything worked well [09:42] didn't have to install anything after basic install to get things running [09:43] avilqu: Is there another computer in the same location that your pc with ubuntu is? [09:44] avilqu: It can be problems with the range of your wifi router for example. [09:44] doesn't seem like it, I tried right next to the router, and the problem happens wether there is other computers or not [09:45] actually, it's weird because it seems like something completely random... [09:45] maybe it's a hardware problem, but I have no idea of how to check that [09:45] avilqu: Do you have this problem with other devices? (e.g. your phone connecting to the wireless)? [09:46] umbra_purus: What permissions are you needing to change and yes I can assist [09:46] no, my computer is the only device having this issue [09:47] avilqu: Okay, what 802.11 modes does your router support (e.g. 802.1/a/b/g/n/ac) -- and does your wireless card in your computer support the same modes. [09:48] avilqu: There are many factors at this point to consider: Is your router transmitting on 2.4GHz, 5GHZ, or Both? -- Does your computers wireless card support both? [09:48] avilqu: What channel is your Router transmitting on within the 2.4, and 5Ghz? [09:48] lasko: Ok I'll just check that, I'll let you know [09:48] s/802.1/802.11 [09:49] avilqu: Okay [09:50] avilqu: Also could you please provide the output in pastebin for the follow command nm-tool && iwconfig [09:50] pastbin! [09:51] how does that work? [09:51] I'm trying to understand what openstack is and what exactly I need. I want to setup a cloud with 15 servers and 4 NAS'es voor shared storage.I want to host virtual machines on it. And I need the ability to live migrate vm's between nodes in case of a hardware failure. [09:51] hey guys my user is member of vboxsf group but I still dont have permission to mount a windows drive in virtualbox, why :(? [09:51] dingus1: lol wut? [09:51] I can do that in openstack, if I understood correctly .. but am I required to take a 'landscape' license ? [09:51] this channel supports pastebin. how do I use it? [09:51] dingus1, install pastebinit. run your terminal command followed by | pastebinit and then paste the url here. example: cat /etc/issue | pastebinit [09:52] ty [09:52] hey guys i have a simple command to start a game server in /init.d/darkplace-server, i did update-rc.d and it added it - when i reboot the command isn't executing [09:52] dingus1, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10549521/ [09:53] dingus1, fyi: you might wish to edit your pastebin with your name and select your own paste host. [09:53] lasko: http://pastebin.com/wE1zFAFc [09:54] hi, how i can stop the laptop wifi adapter and use the external? [09:54] lasko: still trying to find out what channel is my router transmitting on, I'm looking on my router config (http://192.168.1.1) [09:55] avilqu: So it looks like you are connecting but you are only connecting at 6 Mb/s and your Signal strength is horrible. How far away are you from the wireless access point? [09:55] or better yet, what's the easiest way to make a program start on boot [09:56] lasko: it's something like 10 meters and 2 walls away [09:56] lasko: but the problem is the same when I'm right next to it [09:57] pastebin the output for sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [09:57] (that will also show the channel information I was talking about) [09:58] lasko: http://pastebin.com/EBP78pkU [09:59] avilqu: How configurable is your router? Is it possible to turn off the 2.4GHz radio and just use the 5GHz? [09:59] lasko: I'm trying to look at this on my router config page, which is pretty slow at the moment [10:00] lasko: for the record I have the exact same problem when I use a wifi network emited by my cellphone [10:00] lasko: (although that cellphone sits right next to my computer) [10:01] Sounds like you might just have a bad wireless NIC. You could purchase a wireless USB dongle for relatively cheap. [10:02] Hi everyone, first time here. [10:02] I base this on the fact that your Bit rate is reallly low, and your signal strength is also not very good considering how close you said you are. [10:03] My first suggestion would be to try and use jsut 5GHz since the 2.4GHz range is such a congested spectrum and often interferred with by many things. [10:03] lasko: Ok I should try that, thank you so much for helping me. BTW I can't change the band used by my router [10:03] lasko: the only choice I have is 2.4GHZ ; although I can change the channel [10:04] If you scan (iwlist wlan0 scan) --- do any other networks show up? [10:05] Or is it just yours [10:05] does anyone know why chinese characters do not appear while trying to install QQ using Wine? [10:05] lasko: when I use this command I only see mine. But I use the connection applet I see a couple other wifi I could connect on [10:06] JoanLM80, you have to have installed chinese language support first. [10:06] !cn | JoanLM80 [10:06] JoanLM80: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [10:06] avilqu: Does the applet show what the other network channels are? [10:06] no, the applet doesn't give me that information [10:07] Somebody knows about a ppa with a newer version of Bochs? [10:07] thank you very much [10:07] avilqu: The standard non-overlapping channels in the 2.4GHz spectrum are 1, 6, 11 --- What I'm thinking /may/ be happening also is that the other networks you are seeing might be on overlapping channels (2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10) -- which could interfere with your signal as well. [10:07] avilqu: You can attempt to just change the channel to another non-overlapping channel and see if that helps [10:08] I doubt it but i suppose its worth a shot [10:08] how to remove broken symlinks recursively? I've tried find -L in several ways in 12.04 LTS: find -L . -type l -exec rm -rf {} + [10:08] lasko: Ok I'll try that, and anyway if I'm out of options I'll buy a USB wifi dongle [10:08] avilqu: cool, good luck man [10:08] lasko: thank you very much for your help [10:09] No problem [10:11] chhowlett how can I do that? [10:12] keeph: Remove the -L [10:13] keeph: find . -type l exec rm -rf {} \; [10:15] I think I know, thanks [10:15] lasko hmm, still not working: find . -type l -exec rm -rf {} \; [10:16] why would a script return 'command not found' yet the command works from cli [10:16] for some reason, even symlinks is not working. [10:16] keeph: find -L . -type l -ls --- Does this output anything [10:17] Hi, when is the "up" option defined in /etc/network/interfaces executed? becase we have pre-up and post-up, I'm not sure when "up" is executed [10:17] lasko nothing, very weird. I'm pretty sure the original files were deleted [10:17] keeph: hehe sounds like the broken symlinks aren't there anymore [10:18] is there any diff for hardlinks? [10:19] how do i set the default window manager? i am using 14.10 . tried looking at ~/.dmrc, it does have Desktop::Session entry,but i do not know what i _can_ set it to. [10:19] well if you created something with 'ln -s' then you created a softlink [10:21] keeph: Let me read a man page real quick and see what I can come up with [10:21] hmm, I think I've created a hardlink. So if I delete the original file, will hardlink still keep linking the old inoe? [10:21] as long as there is another file containing this, yes [10:21] file is removed when last hardlink is gone [10:22] oh I see, therefore it keeps working like the previous file. thanks for the info [10:22] just in case of my memory failing you could try it on a small test file [10:24] will do, thanks very much for the explanation svetlana_ and lasko [10:24] it's alright, I'm glad to help :) [10:25] keeph: You could do somethign like this to find hardlinks to regular files 'find . -type f -links +1' -- though thats kind of a guess on my part. [10:26] finding hardlinks on directories is much harder lol [10:27] I'm reading wdm man page. It refers to ``Session Program'' section twice, but that section doesn't exist... [10:31] can someone help me figure out why my init script wont work? [10:31] only if you ask [10:32] svetlana_, here is my init script http://pastebin.com/aYQwUgh8 [10:33] svetlana_, it wont start, in the logs it says 'darkplaces-server' 'command not found' [10:33] do you have a direct (raw) download link ? that would be easier for me to read - that link is at the page top :) [10:33] but, that command workds from the termal [10:34] svetl [10:34] svetlana_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10549727/ [10:34] ta [10:35] svetlana_, so basically, for whatever reason that command works fine, but it wont run from the script, only from term [10:35] svetlana_: You might want to use full paths for the script. [10:35] e.v. the full path for darkplaces-server [10:35] e.g.* [10:36] lasko, like /usr/share/games/quake/darkplaces-server [10:36] rpp601: try what lasko said (I'm not yet sure /why/ it happens, but it sounds like a reasonable workaround) [10:36] yes, like that [10:36] lasko: Yes. [10:36] lasko, how can i tell where that file is? [10:37] darkplaces-server [10:37] whereis darkplaces-server [10:37] which darkplaces-server [10:37] k [10:37] what does such command say? [10:37] I again don't remember the difference ... hmm [10:37] that did it! [10:37] thanks! [10:38] ;) [10:38] ``which'' looks better, it just tells the binary location, not the whole universe :) [10:38] Full path is definitely always better to use for any scripts since the "user" running it with not neccesarily have the same $PATH [10:39] lasko: would you perhaps be able to find something on my question, please? I'm not getting results very easily here .... [10:39] sorry, which question? [10:40] how do i set the default window manager? i am using 14.10 . tried looking at ~/.dmrc, it does have Desktop::Session entry,but i do not know what i _can_ set it to. [10:41] I'm reading wdm man page. It refers to ``Session Program'' section twice, but that section doesn't exist... [10:41] Um yeah one sec. [10:43] svetlana_, lasko, cannot create /var/run/dark-server.pid: Permission denied how bout that? [10:45] svetlana_: How did you install the new Window Manager? though apt? [10:45] through* === kde is now known as Guest56707 [10:47] svetlana_: What I've done in the past is used a program called "choosewm" -- apt-get install choosewm and anything registered as a Window Manage will be selectable as an option to set the default WM. [10:47] But I'm sure there is a much simpler method. [10:49] do i need to create a directory in /var/run with my username? lasko [10:50] lasko: selectable where? (I'm not using a gui.) [10:50] dark-server.pid is going to be a file. [10:50] svetlana_: I believe its a curses app. [10:50] lasko, yes i see it [10:51] lasko, cannot create /var/run/dark-server.pid is what i'm getting [10:51] rpp601: Your use probably doesn't have access. sudo [10:51] lasko, can i use sudo through the script? [10:52] I wouldn't. Give me a moment to respond. Someone IRL trying to chat with me also lol [10:52] k [10:55] lasers: I'm breaking things. It is a gtk program. I ran it in one of the WMs, set my preferred VM, and logged off. On next login it logs me into a blank screen. [10:55] I don't understand where and what it's picking up from. .dmrc still contains a Desktop::session entry with an old wm value. [10:56] both old and new wm work, I know this from when I was using another display manager. [10:56] lasko: --^ [10:56] lasers: sorry, wrong nick.

[12:25] help used to be different here [12:25] because as you said, the entries point to nothing, because the systems they relate to are gone AptGotIt [12:25] Yeap, for stuff that is easily found on Google, you bet [12:26] Quantos you dont even get the point [12:26] Yeah, I do [12:26] Quantos thanks, I'm done with your help [12:26] And the point you're making is ridiculous [12:26] AptGotIt, this is voluntary unpaid support, you had better show us you did some research [12:26] Quantos, like yourself [12:26] lol [12:26] if you don't get an answer here - ask on ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/ in "general help" [12:26] I've been on this channel more times than you did, and I see the difference [12:26] Oh noes, he called me ridiculous [12:27] My day is ruined [12:27] Right, sure you have [12:27] gosh, all kiddies here or what [12:28] You're problem is you're trying to justify that you are just too damned lazy to look for yourself, you want it spoonfed [12:28] it is not help to refer to forums. it is not help to just say 'xyz config editor'..it is not help not to assume a helpful attitude in the first place [12:28] Quantos, yours is that you can see only that much [12:28] anyone in here familiar with pinning installation packages in apt? I can't seem to be able to get it to work [12:28] LOL [12:29] ignore me from now on, I expect a proper helper. [12:29] hello everyone, I have distros listed in grub that are old and dont exist, I'd like to delete them and also change the order of distros appearing in grub..can you help me please? [12:30] lame mentalities [12:33] AptGotIt, you can just remove them from your grub config.... [12:35] larryone, if you mean the etc/default/grub file, the entries are not explicitly listed in there. how will I do it? [12:35] AptGotIt, With that attitude you'll be lucky if anyone decides to help you [12:36] apparently you dont even read the channel [12:36] that's the attitude mirroring yours [12:36] Pffft [12:37] A pathetic lazy arse that can't be bothered to google for grub config [12:37] AptGotIt, there are other grub editing facilities, you dont always have to edit files directly [12:38] larryone, like which ones? [12:39] dokoo mentioned update-grub [12:39] loads more out there [12:40] Google for them AptGotIt [12:41] well what I tried with the kernel failed [12:41] AptGotIt, if you want to go at it low-level, you might get more mileage out of the /etc/grub.d/ files [12:42] <_cb> #go-nuts [12:44] larryone, update-grub gave the list of distros displayed in grub, 'found X, found Y..' how will this help delete the entries? [12:44] larryone, just checked grub.d, there are ten files there [12:45] Google for Grub Config [12:45] I shit you not [12:45] AptGotIt, then you have 10 files to look at..... [12:45] Surprise yourself and find the easyway AptGotIt [12:46] larryone, to find what in them? the entries? [12:46] and then just delete them? [12:46] Tool [12:46] AptGotIt, possibly...

[12:57] Hello guys. Please help me with the followin query, I know I have done this before but I do not remember exactly how. I am trying to create a ssh tunnel with the following structure: I have a local server that can only make outgoing connections, I am using this for development. I have another server that hosts the stable versions for the websites and that has a public IP. I want to use the outgoing connection from localhost server [12:58] and be able to use remoteserver:port to redirect to localhost:port [12:58] pelo ok [12:58] Again, the localhost can only make outgoing connections [12:58] larryone, true. I meant being friendly and helpful, like yourself. [12:58] You mean spoonfeeding you [12:58] disappear [12:59] Pfff5t [12:59] ssh -L 3000:localhost:80 root@remoteserver I have tried this and used iptables to open 3000 [12:59] But it's not working [12:59] channel organizers, consider whether you would like to keep base ones among you [13:00] Ok, lets dial down the anger in here. [13:00] well looks like I jumped in at an awkward time. [13:00] AptGotIt, the files in /etc/grub.d contain what you are looking for. some of them will refer to your obsolete grub listings [13:00] We're here to volunteer support, not bitch at eachother. [13:01] Got it popey [13:01] sync [13:01] sorry [13:01] popey, knowing a thing or two shouldnt be the only criterion to volunteer. one used to get help from 'humans' here [13:01] There's hundreds of humans here. [13:02] Hi, is there a simple way of pasting from the primary buffer without using the middle mouse click? I'm on a laptop that doesn't have it. A program that records everything from the clipboard/primary buffer and makes it available for normal copy/pasting would be useful [13:02] popey, I agree with that, thankfully. [13:02] waley: can you press both mouse buttons? [13:02] waley: that simulates a centre mouse click [13:02] Use CTRL+c and CTRL +v Waley [13:03] Well it seems here that when I try to install a kernel the package manager wants to remove the old one but the old one is already gone http://pastebin.com/TVp7zDVD [13:03] waley, on some you can also do shift+rightclick to get middle button functions [13:03] if that's the case does anyone know a solution? [13:04] rustyraptor, there could be -dev packages or similar related to the kernel it wants to delete [13:04] pelo, , this is what it says now [13:05] * Pelo listens [13:05] larryone, are they at least typically / likely to be found in one of these files? [13:05] pelo, , E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:05] that what it says [13:05] Ghostxmaster4, then run that command [13:06] popey: neither of those solutions appear to work :( My touchpad is such that as soon as I select one button, the entire bottom touchpad area including the right click is depressed, so I can't click right click at the same time... Shift+Right click doesn't work either. Any solution that doesn't involve the mouse? [13:06] ahhh, touch pad... [13:06] what you copy/pasting from/to? [13:06] Quantos: I'm trying to copy and paste from the primary buffer, i.e. what gets copied from xterm when you select text [13:06] (buy a mouse) :) [13:06] once vbox is installed, where does the shortcut end up ? I can'T find it in the menues [13:06] http://askubuntu.com/questions/176322/removing-old-kernel-entries-in-grub google - how to remove kernels from grub [13:06] waley: CTRL+SHIFT+C, CTRL+SHIFT+V [13:06] CTRL+C and CTRL+v, try that waley [13:06] AptGotIt, there might be one with 'custom' in its name [13:06] no, dont do CTRL+C in xterm [13:06] that way leads to killed processes :) [13:06] so many people lol HELLO [13:07] Oh, CTRL v then [13:07] That'll give you paste functionality [13:07] nvm, found it [13:07] Pelo did you see the pastebin? [13:07] CTRL C doesn't shut down the terminal here [13:07] rustyraptor, no i haven't [13:08] larryone, I'd looked at them (there are two). both have only 4-5 lines, and one is completely text [13:08] Just gives me a ^C [13:09] http://pastebin.com/TVp7zDVD Pelo you see I really messed up by deleting kernels in /boot and now I chrooted into ubuntu to try to install a kernel again [13:09] popey: Quantos : Yeah I get the ^C from using both CTRL+C and CTRL+SHIFT+C in xterm, and am unable to paste the selection into gedit with either CTRL+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V [13:09] waley: does it have to be xterm? can you use a more featureful terminal like gnome terminal or terminator? [13:09] hi. I'm running a Raid1 over Ubuntu. It's software based and not motherboard-based. I'm preparing to do a clean re-install. My only headache is... How do i restore the raid1 without losing my data over de HDDs? [13:09] So it looks like apt is set to automatically try to delete a kernel from before [13:09] rustyraptor, , sorry but this is over my head [13:09] oh ok [13:09] Hmm, yeah, that's a pain in the heiney Waley [13:10] Pelo, it works thank you very much [13:10] waley: you can't just highlight it into your clipboard? or use pipes to redirect the output? also if it's in a screen you can enter copy mode with ctrl-a esc [13:10] anyone else know what I should do? I don't even know where to start with google searching [13:10] popey: Quantos : yup will do! Sorry, thought all terminals behaved like this/xterm was the gold standard. Thanks! [13:10] Ghostxmaster4, most of us are here to help, share and enjoy [13:11] AptGotIt, /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the file that actually contains the menu entries, but you're better off not editing that file directly. the /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub are what you need to change. I recommend a quick read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [13:11] waley: Terminator is nice. and CTRL+SHIFT+C and CTRL+SHIFT+V is supported in it [13:11] pelo, well still thanks [13:11] rustyraptor: what did you do when you chrooted ? what steps did you do ? [13:11] SchrodingersScat: thanks! I'll keep that in mind, will try these other terminals first [13:13] rustyraptor: seems like your missing -- mount --bind /dev/pts /path/to/chrootedENV [13:14] krux, mount /dev/mapper/mint--vg-root /media/mountpoint [13:14] sudo mount --bind /dev/ /path/chroot/dev [13:15] How to update with apt-get update without updating postgresql and other some of packages?

[13:45] I just installed pulseaudio volume control from repos. Both that and panel's sound settings window crash. [13:45] dingus1: create more partitions and mount them on mount points [13:45] dingus1: it's that simple [13:46] krux, thank you. googling is never a problem..anyway, from the chatlogs it is obvious what I mean, I guess. [13:46] hi guys, I disabled Amazon searching in the security feature of system preference. are there any other safety features I need to know about [13:46] krux, I have two distros,both are the same version [13:46] dingus1: I'd make more partitions from Gparted tool instead of installer, then i'd come back to OS installer.. [13:46] hardtail: amazon was removed ages ago, what version of ubuntu are you running ? [13:47] hardtail, what process did you use to do it? [13:47] 14.10 ikonia [13:47] hardtail: 14.10 still has amazon search enabled by default ? [13:47] but only one of them is shown..I mean I have two 'trusty' versions, but I see only one trusty among the 3.13.0.46. kernels [13:47] System Settings > Security & Privacy imnichol [13:48] yes it did Ikonia [13:48] popey: if you're there didn't you say the Amazon lense had been disabled a few releases ago ? [13:48] ikonia: yes [13:48] hardtail, ok you should be good then. If you're interested in more security, check out apparmor [13:48] ikonia: well, results from Amazon, specifically [13:48] popey: does it not seem odd that hardtail's 14.10 release would have it enabled by default ? [13:48] ikonia: the lens is still there and still provides online results. [13:48] rustyraptor: have you tried linux-lowlatency instead ? its a metapackage [13:48] ikonia, I used remote scopes like 10 seconds ago [13:48] popey: right, but not from amazon [13:48] ;) [13:49] I didn't know anything about this until I watched a YT video of Richard Stallman XD [13:49] ikonia: yes, no results from amazon. [13:49] 13:46 < hardtail> hi guys, I disabled Amazon searching in the security feature [13:49] ikonia: flip the switch and they're all gone (as has been the case forever) [13:49] yeah, he didnt [13:49] popey: I thought that was the case. [13:49] he disabled online recommendations of which Amazon used to be one, but no longer is. [13:49] popey, so there is no way to completely disable it? [13:49] hardtail: i didnt say that [13:50] I have a problem where if I use HDMI or DVI my display will overscan about 50 pixels. It shows 1920x1080 but I can scroll off of my desktop. I adjusted the underscan values in the nVidia display settings panel and saved the config. However whenever I log back in it defaults back to the original display and I have to set the nVidia panel again. I have edited the .xinitrc file to reflect the changes and still nothing. When I conn [13:50] ect using VGA it won't overscan, but the default resolution drops to 1024x768 - and again I have to open the nVidia panel and override it. This too is saved in the nVidia config file - with no change in behaviour. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04LTS [13:50] hardtail: flip the switch, it's disabled. [13:50] fair enough, thank you all [13:50] apparmor I will check out [13:50] hardtail: what I said is that on the backend (server) we switched off amazon results, so you never got amazon results, whatever the state of that switch. [13:50] I'll try again: when I have wifi and ethernet connected at the same time, network connections are timing out. How do I begin to troubleshoot that? [13:50] imnichol: i keep getting that too [13:51] popey, you running vivid? [13:51] imnichol: I keep meaning to file a bug, will do when I get a moment. yes, vivid [13:51] imnichol: vivid disucssion is in the channel #ubuntu+1 [13:51] not this one [13:51] has anyone ran appium for functional tests on ubuntu with success? [13:51] ikonia, the bug is vivid specific but the troubleshooting steps aren't [13:51] imnichol: then discuss it in #ubuntu+1 [13:51] imnichol: lets go to +1 [13:51] I am trying to run integration/functional tests on an Android app on ubuntu [13:52] as the bug is vivid [13:52] popey: thanks [13:52] imnichol: I installed apparmor-profiles package, then soundsettings window from panel, or from within systemsettings window opens for a second, and then crashes. I did undo all the changed made by installing the package, as i had saved aa-status before installing apparmor-profiles. Now I still can't open soundsettings. I just installed pulseaudio volume control from synaptic, I still can't get soundsettings to open. Any ideas? [13:52] ikonia, pretend I said utopic then ;) [13:52] imnichol: no [13:52] imnichol: popey is waiting to assist in #ubuntu+1 [13:52] hi! can anyone give me pointers on linux translations? I want to change some poorly translated lines in ubuntu (croatian), but it seems that the procedure to get those translations into repositories takes forever. what's the fastest route? [13:54] maltego [13:56] can someone tell me what to run in terminal to open soundsettings, so that i can show u what happens when it crashes. I guessed 'gnome-sound-settings', it was wrong..

I tried running it as administrator but this error doesn't go away: http://pastebin.com/UZPZdn8y [14:24] ikonia - didn't know that was possible. How is that done? Not exactly a newbie but not all that familiar with that one [14:24] RudeViper: look at the kernel version, then research the hardware you wnat to buy and find out if that kernel supports it in the kernel docs [14:25] Guys, I have a question about bumblebee. Just a little question. If you use it, please tag me.

[14:33] zadigfaction, i posted a disambiguation page about lots of things called bumblebee. a weak attempt at humor [14:34] ==ntsp [14:34] pbx: Ohhh aha :) sorry my friend [14:34] OerHeks: I use bumblebee because I use the nouveau driver [14:34] ntsp: I am trying to install ubuntu in a brand new machine with pre-installed win7 pro. After installation I can not boot in Ubuntu I only get options of rebooting into settings [14:35] Guest70594 no need to send twice [14:35] ntsp: sorry I forgot the tag that's why [14:37] But anyway, I'm asking : In bumblebee, there are options like optirun -b primus or primusrun, to activate the nvidia card for an application. What I don't understand is if it's activate for an application, isn't it for all the system? That means both cards activated? [14:39] dear all, how can i find out with which compiler boost 1.54 for trusty was compiled? [14:40] stephanmg: why would you want to know? [14:40] Need clarification on something - sata controllers are all called raid now right??? [14:41] RudeViper: no, sata is type of connection, raid is how to disttibute the content (stripe/mirror) [14:42] thats what I thought - but everywhere I look it's all about raid - digging deeper [14:44] * RudeViper smacks forehead - using wrong search terms - no sleep slows the brain down I guess [14:44] RudeViper: why don't you just tell u your problem [14:45] htqp: consider i want to compile my own toolbox in C++ and i need to use non-header only boost includes. [14:48] stephanmg: I still don't see the point - the binary has the same ABI (SysV x86-64) regardless of the compiler, so you can link against boost with your favorite compiler [14:49] htqp: okay! you're right and it works. === ubuntu is now known as Guest23632 [14:50] stephanmg: I work also on Mac OSX, there it seemed to not work for me, unless i compile boost on my own with the same compiler... [14:50] Hello. [14:50] erm sorry i mean htqp. [14:50] I'm new. [14:50] Guest23632: congrats. [14:51] Do you think that it will be the end of my life if i stay here ? :D [14:51] IRC is knowed to delete ur social life. [14:52] htqp: at least to me it happened this way somehow [14:52] stephanmg: I don't know about Mac OS X :) [14:52] MAC OS X is the graal. [14:52] >> [14:53] Waiting for the kick... [14:53] htqp: for me the issue was the following: i installed with "macports" a specific boost version and then i wanted to compile my own toolkit in C++ and link to boost. the compilers did not match (clang boost) and (gcc my code). [14:54] htqp: then in the end i could not link (unresolved symbols) - then i compiled my code also with clang and it worked. [14:54] htqp: i don't know if i'm doing something wrong with OSX, but to me it seems the ABI is not matching? [14:55] Hi. I’m getting “QXcbConnection: XCB error 148” when I run a Qt based on application on a empty DISPLAY (without lightdm). Other applications (GTK based) works fine. Any clue? [14:55] stephanmg: seems a good question for channel #macosx [14:55] stephanmg: anyway, FYI unresolved symbols is API not ABI. This issue looks weird to me anyway, so I don't know how to help unfortunately [14:56] Hello everyone, would I be able to get some help? I currently have an HP Pavilion G7 and whenever it goes into a suspend state (Ubuntu 14.04, when I close the laptop) it will not come out of the suspend state. Oddly enough this was happening on windows 8.1 as well and I cannot figure it out for the life of me. [14:57] stephanmg: I would also ask to clang mailing list and to channel #gcc - smells like a bug, I would not expect different symbols to be output by different compielrs [14:57] desez2tpunk, I'd suspect a hardware setting somewhere as it's not specific to ubuntu. [14:57] cfhowlett, Some where in the bios? [14:58] htqp: okay thanks, sounds like a great idea [14:58] desez2tpunk, start there. be very careful about any changes you make - in fact, take careful notes. [14:58] stephanmg: good luck [14:58] cfhowlett, Always do when I'm in bios haha, was hoping it was a known setting for these devils. [14:59] desez2tpunk, not that I know of. sorry. [15:00] htqp: thanks, the problem is already fixed if i use one compiler throughout - so i have not really a severe, but rather weird thing to figure out :) [15:00] htqp: thanks for the API vs ABI note again === user_ is now known as rustyraptor [15:02] hello all.

It shows 1920x1080 but I can scroll off of my desktop. I adjusted the underscan values in the nVidia display settings panel and saved the config. However whenever I log back in it defaults back to the original display and I have to set the nVidia panel again. I have edited the .xinitrc file to reflect the changes and still nothing. When I conn [15:03] ect using VGA it won't overscan, but the default resolution drops to 1024x768 - and again I have to open the nVidia panel and override it.

I tend to put gnome or kde on most all of mine. but anyhow, thanks for the heads up [15:06] If your going to add a gui to the server - I would suggest using xfce4 - it's what I use and it doesn't start automatically on boot === fedorafan is now known as waxmalstift === Silenced is now known as Silenced\afk === Silenced\afk is now known as Silenced|afk === mkv is now known as m4v === waxmalstift is now known as fedorafan [15:14] Hi folks.

[16:43] Hi guys, can anyone possibly help me with a Kernel Panic error? http://i.imgur.com/RBQcpvu.jpg [16:45] Anyone know why Apt is mangling with my repo URL? [16:45] I've been getting the same error ever since I installed on this PC, and it happens just about every time I try to boot. I have to restart (sometimes more than once) to get it to load GRUB, and then I can launch Ubuntu [16:45] the repo spec is "deb https://packages.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/1.4/debian stable main" [16:45] but its calling https://packages.elasticsearch.org/1.4/debian for some reason [16:46] why is apt mangling the repo URL? [16:47] Join #ubuntu [16:48] I got this error: ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1), how can I enable this? [16:48] compdoc: now i have to figure out why apt-get install * or apt-get update hangs [16:50] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [16:51] that's what i get when i try to remove debhelper (and then want to reinstall it of course, as i need it) [16:51] nicomachus Have you tried any of this -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2243656 [16:53] zono: I have found about 47 different forum topics on this same error, and none have worked. I have not tried this solution, though. [16:55] Trying to get my gf to boot the machine in question now so I can try to update initramfs via SSH [16:56] https://gist.github.com/therealfakemoot/f70bc336940a958415bb So I'm having trouble with the vlc package. It's marked as *installed*, and vlc-wrapper exists, but the vlc binary does not. How can I repair this? I've uninstalled, reinstalled many times with --purge and --dry-run and so on [16:56] hi [16:56] Not direct access. Brave :-) [16:57] haha, zono, I'm at work now but don't want to wait until I get home to try a fix. If updating initramfs doesn't work I'll try the Live CD route that's also on that page. [16:57] cool stuff. Hope it works [16:58] Hi, Do you know how should I scp from a remote location to my localhost? [16:58] thanks for the tip. [16:58] I know the reverse! [16:58] I've had similar problems with my packages before. Steam is currently in some sort of dependency limbo. [16:58] Depending on two packages that are already installed but thinking they are in conflict or something [16:58] Guys, My vlc player will not show the movies in good clarity [16:59] I have an AMD radeon 6670 graphics card === zulfiqar is now known as ZAKhan [17:00] padhu: that GPU should handle any movie just fine. what quality and file types? [17:00] nicomachus: It is avi and Good in ubuntu12.04 [17:01] I installed thursty yesterday [17:01] and that's when the problem started? [17:01] try: sudo apt-get install vlc [17:02] nicomachus: After installation, I am checking video now [17:02] just to make sure you hav eall the packages. [17:02] I installed and updated vlc [17:02] nicomachus: How? [17:02] how what? [17:03] nicomachus: How can i check all packages are installed [17:03] just running apt-get install vlc again should do it. [17:03] AFAIK. haha [17:04] You also may want to check a GPU monitor to make sure you aren't maxing out. [17:04] AMD Catalyst Control should be able to tell you. [17:05] Also check System Monitor (can get to it through Dash) to make sure you aren't maxing out your CPU [17:06] https://gist.github.com/therealfakemoot/f70bc336940a958415bb So, under what circumstances can a package be installed, but one of the files it's supposed to provide is missing? (vlc is installed but the vlc binary is not present in PATH). [17:06] How do I nest quotations in a shell script? I have COMMAND="program "with options"" and in the script I call it with $($COMMAND). It fails because of the quotes. [17:06] 'quote' [17:07] It doesn't work with '' nested for some reason [17:07] I'll play with it more and get back [17:07] nicomachus: http://pastebin.com/VEMY5gVR [17:08] Hi, Do you know how should I scp from a remote location to my localhost? [17:08] mojtaba scp sshserver:directory dest-directory [17:08] padhu: not that it'll make a difference for this issue, but go ahead and run: sudo apt-get autoremove [17:09] mojtaba: your localhost has to be running an sshd, first, and second, your localhost has to be reachable from the destination [17:09] ntsp: should I put something like user@host:dest-directory [17:09] ? [17:09] mojtaba: so you'd need your localhosts' IP address and port, or domain name if it's got dns records [17:09] therealfakemoot: How can I make it reachable? [17:09] mojtaba you want to copy a directory FROM a server to your computer right? [17:09] mojtaba: *that* depends on what your'e doing [17:09] ntsp: right [17:10] nicomachus: Done, what is next [17:10] if yes its scp user@server:server/directory destination/directory [17:10] mojtaba: do keep in mind that scp can copy FROM remote places [17:10] mojtaba ^ [17:10] padhu: did you check the System Monitor and try to pull up a GPU monitor? [17:11] ntsp: should I put something like user@host:dest-directory [17:11] ntsp: I have added before my public key to the remote server. [17:12] hey zono, think you can help with something on that initramfs update or did you just find it and link it? [17:12] mojtaba no the destination directory is just the path if its on localhost [17:12] ntsp: I just did what you said, and it made the dest directory on the remote machine [17:12] nicomachus: system monitor did not show the GPU. How can i up it? [17:12] ntsp: It should contain my username@host? [17:13] will linux run on android tv box... any help will be appreciated [17:13] padhu: you'll have to find a GPU monitor. I don't use AMD so I can't help you there, but I THINK the Catalyst Control Center has one. [17:13] mojtaba the syntax is scp [17:13] jesoners: Android *is* Linux. [17:13] therealfakemoot: ehhhh.... [17:13] if its either is an ssh server you put in user@server:directory in the appropriate one else its just the directory [17:13] Unix, yes [17:13] ntsp: could you please tell me exactly what is dest? [17:14] Linux... not relaly [17:14] really* [17:14] mojtaba: the place you want the file copied to [17:14] dest is the destination directory src is the source directory [17:14] mojtaba: so that would be somewhere on the local filesystem [17:14] ya i know .. im talking about a arm distro [17:14] mojtaba: origin would be the remote server [17:14] nicomachus: I have an AMD Catalyst Control Center. But how can i check it. I regularly use glxgears [17:14] mojtaba: presumably in the form of `user@place:/path/to/file` [17:14] I'm not familiar with glxgears [17:15] therealfakemoot: It should be like this? [17:15] scp -r doc/ mojtaba@Think:~/Desktop [17:15] nicomachus: fglrxinfo [17:15] ah, the driver you mean? [17:15] mojtaba: Almost. [17:15] mojtaba: Read the --help output for scp again [17:15] therealfakemoot: It says Think name or service not known [17:16] mojtaba: and think carefully about where you're copying FROM and where you're copying TO. [17:16] mojtaba: FROM is the origin. TO is the destination [17:16] mojtaba this copies from doc/ to the ssh server you mentioned reverse that to do the opposite if you want that [17:16] therealfakemoot: Should I also make a public key and put it in my local machine? [17:16] I have done the reverse before. [17:16] mojtaba: if you want? [17:16] nicomachus: http://pastebin.com/eGgsQLtR [17:16] mojtaba: if you're using ssh, you already have a public/private keypair [17:16] unless hes using password *shrugs* [17:17] therealfakemoot: Yes I am connected to the remote machine using those keys. [17:17] ntsp: yes, but ssh still uses a keypair to encrypt the connection [17:17] sshd can just defer authentication to the local PAM service or however you wanna phrase that [17:17] does any one knok of a good arm linux distro that is lightweight [17:17] aaaaanyways [17:17] mojtaba: You still have it backwards. [17:17] mojtaba: You don't need to be logged in to the remote machine. [17:18] mojtaba: You can use scp to copy files FROM remote machines TO your local one [17:18] therealfakemoot: I think thats the problem. I will disconnect from it, and then try to copy. [17:18] from your local machine: `scp remote_user@whateverhost:/path/to/file /path/to/localcopy` [17:18] that's it [17:18] padhu: run: fglrx-amdcccle [17:20] are there any issues with using "dd" to get a ballpark figure on hard drive speed? cause i have a raid array with 4 SAS 10k rpm drives and 1 SSD 600GB cache driev and im showing 161 MB/s [17:20] therealfakemoot: Thank you very much. The problem was that, I was connected to that machien [17:20] so im trying to determine if the drives arent configured correctly or something [17:20] machine* [17:20] coderman1: bonnie++ is usually a better approach. [17:20] It is done now. [17:20] mojtaba: Yes, like everyone kept saying [17:20] it wasn't necessary [17:20] Snow-Man: but im seeing probably 1/3rd of what i would expect [17:20] padhu: You need to open the GUI for the Catalyst Control Center, preferably the adminstrative one. You need to find what percentage of your GPU is being used while you're playing a video. Push it--try 1080p or 4k if you have it [17:21] i should be seeing SSD like speeds [17:21] therealfakemoot: sorry about that. thx [17:21] uh, why? you have a bunch of 10k drives [17:21] coderman1: use hdparm -tT [17:21] hi, which is the package to install "configure" to build application (yes, compile them)? [17:21] if you GPU is anywhere near 90-95%, then it's a GPU issue. Otherwise, it's gotta be something with VLC. But I don't know enough to help you if it's a VLC issue. [17:21] nicomachus: http://pastebin.com/haKKXGvi [17:22] ferz build-essential? [17:22] padhu: when you go to your Dash, and type in AMD Catalyst, does it give you the option to open the Catalyst Control Center program? [17:22] ntsp: thank you, I try it. [17:22] nicomachus: yes, i can open it [17:23] hey guys [17:23] hi [17:23] Ok. Is there a GPU in there? [17:23] a GPU monitor** [17:23] ok this may sound weird, but is there something like watch but without display. (yeah I know the name do make you think it's gonna display) [17:24] basically I want a cronjob like watch without the display. (and no I don't want to enter a cronjob) [17:24] daftykins: cached reads = 10000 mb/s buffered reads = 228 mb/s [17:24] mlighta while true do command end? [17:24] aka simple bash [17:24] I will be stuck in it [17:24] padhu: Sorry I can't help more, but I gotta go now. Good luck. Sounds like your issue is something with VLC, not your graphics card. May just wanna purge everything to do with VLC and reinstall. [17:24] coderman1: sounds a bit more like it [17:24] or you mean put this in background ? [17:24] mlighta meant in background :p [17:25] just add & after the command to do in background [17:25] ye but in a loop hmm weird, never tryed [17:25] well now that ive switched over to a different directory, dd is showing much different numbers [17:25] can't you give an example [17:25] nicomachus: my bad luck , it is same in smplayer, miro [17:26] mlighta: while [ 1 ] ; do command_you_want; sleep 10s; done & [17:26] would something be limiting the speed in user home directories? im prettys ure this server has 1 mount point so it should all be using the same storage [17:26] oh didn't tough he will put the loop in background ok let try [17:26] dangit burkmat, im too slow :p [17:26] i have an issue getting a good program to download video files on ubuntu [17:28] nicomachus, I just found it. Most of my experience with initramfs is for android. [17:29] Hi everybody. I need some help installing mods on MineTest (Open MineCraft) - anyone free plz reply [17:31] My wireless switch says it disabled. Does anyone know how to enable it? [17:32] daftykins: i get almost the same numbers on some shitty VM comapred to this raid array which is using SSD for cache [17:33] hi, is it possible to change the scaling in ubuntu?

[17:53] hinnerk, 14.04 trusty tahr [17:54] I installed ubuntu 14.10 just out of the box. [17:54] .01 [17:54] daftykins, ^ sorry [17:54] and ran "sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash" [17:54] cluelessperson: there must be tens of guides online referring to hyperv, last i remember hearing there's a compatibility level for the hardware that allows different configs [17:54] which ended with error pointing at debhelper. [17:54] AegNuddel, There is also a package rfkill that can enable and disable wifi cards. Maybe it will help? Don't know. Just guessing. [17:54] I tried uninstallung that package (error). [17:55] I tried restarting the system and running the command again... [17:55] nothing helped. [17:55] what can I do? [17:55] daftykins, I found several guides, but etc/initramfs-tools/modules doesn't even seem to exist [17:56] that's a pretty vague comment i'm afraid [17:56] by now usually every command ends with "E: Subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [17:57] any ideas anyone? [17:57] johncc: There's #mpv for detailed help; but for recent versions (I don't know what's in the repos): mpv uses lua to render a onscreen menu. I don't know cli options, but you can set it up via a lua-settings/osc.conf in your .mpv dir. [17:58] hinnerk: Try: -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade , sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnucash . Pastebin if 'apt-get update ' shows errors . [17:59] daftykins, all the guides I've found have been for ubuntu 13 and beloc [18:00] yeah, not surprised, cluelessperson - like i said, when creating a VM with hyper-v i think there's a compatibility level choice / way to pick different NICs [18:00] Bashing-om: upgrade fails with the above error. [18:00] johncc: That might help: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/DOCS/man/osc.rst [18:00] debhelper has status "half-installed" and is not ready for coniguration - whatever that means. [18:01] hinnerk: OK, show us -> sudo apt-get upgrade | pastebinit <- .. may have to install the tool ... -> sudo apt-get install pastebinit ( see if we can !) . [18:02] dang, gotta go, will be back later... sorry. thank you for your help! [18:02] hinnerk: NP, we are here to help . [18:03] is there a way to get the newest ubuntu without havin to upgrade to everything in between? [18:03] what are you on now? [18:03] PS: Trying to install pastebinit gives the same error.... [18:03] AegNuddel: ... [18:04] daftykins, 12.04 [18:04] AegNuddel: that's still supported until 2017 [18:05] AegNuddel: but you can upgrade direct to 14.04.1 yes [18:05] how?

[18:12] suo/sudo* [18:12] /etc/default/grub doesnt that begin with a caps lock "DO NOT EDIT"? [18:13] est31: Nope, think you have in mind " /boot/grub/grub.cfg. " that one does not edit . [18:13] Bashing-om: so, im using a hand made grub.cfg because im netbooting, it has minimal parameters specified… but at some point in the upstart process the console resolution gets set [18:16] Bashing-om, do you have grub 1 or 2? [18:16] croepha: Sorry, I do not know at what point in the boot process the resolution is set; other than editing " /etc/default/grub " . [18:16] est31: I do have grub2 .

[18:19] So, under what circumstances could a package (vlc) be considered installed by apt, but the binary it's supposed to provide (the vlc binary. vlc-wrapper is present.) is missing? Is there some apt or dkpg invocation that will check/fix this condition? [18:20] I am having issues with my 14.10 install. My ethernet internet keeps disconnecting randomly.

[18:52] what disk? [18:52] the actual hard drive? [18:53] yes... [18:53] well it wouldn't boot at all then would it? [18:53] that's the point [18:53] you don't need it to boot to see if the BIOS access is regained [18:53] this is called fault finding :) [18:53] I understand haha [18:54] give me a minute to remove it then [18:54] jakemp, i see [18:57] EriC^^: this is a default mount point in fstab on all NEW linox releases [18:57] "/dev/sdd /media/custom/1558-A920 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=999,gid=999,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,flush,uhelper=udisks2 0 0" [18:58] repair onwhere say "showexec" [18:58] i tried to switch this maldition to "exec" according with the ubuntu liars [18:59] around 7 years [19:00] now if somebody wants to know on where i definitely switch the all back to all portability on usb fat lines, they will ask to me, and i will answer with the code in a haszardous encrypoted email [19:00] Maiself, what makes you think, vfat should allow executables? it is not posix you know [19:01] OerHeks: : http://portablelinuxapps.org [19:01] :d [19:01] :D [19:02] Maiself, that url is nice, those apps should work from ext2/3/4 so your rant is pointless [19:02] The ubuntu LIARS don"t like PORTABLES [19:02] 7 years wasted [19:02] OerHeks: NO WASTED, now i am able to say : that i am FREE [19:03] i discovered onwhere and how to switch this damned fstab line to maiself [19:04] daftykins: ok disk removed, we go back to normal behavior [19:04] I can get into the bios options [19:04] if somebody want to know the line, it will be sent by and HARDAZOUS ENCRYPTED MAIL, to the linox foundation, WON"T SEE [19:04] pdilyard: ok, so what do you want to achieve with this thing?

[19:06] pdilyard: ok so whilst the disk is out, get USB boot working [19:07] pdilyard: when i began with lInox in 2004, the lInox never blocked executables on usb disks [19:07] daftykins: ok so I've got the installation screen up from the usb [19:07] if I plug the hard drive in right now, will it detect the drive before I start installing? [19:07] Maiself, i just tried to mount a fat and it works right out of the box [19:07] pdilyard: The lInox argument : "because we are open source, it"s impossible to run binaries" [19:07] pdilyard: was there a keypress needed to get a one time boot menu up? [19:08] yeah, ESC [19:08] yay [19:08] *at last* [19:08] pdilyard: alright, so do you need any data on the hard disk? just let it boot in then nuke the install if not, by dd'ing zeroes onto the first 100MB or so of disk :P === scorpio18_ is now known as scorpio18 [19:09] ok that's fine. do you think I'll get grub this time or anything? [19:10] I'd prefer if I had some kind of option to boot from a usb just in case of emergency, and so I don't have to unplug the disk every time :P [19:10] afterwards? no it'll be gone [19:10] yeah well look into BIOS updates for that system maybe. [19:10] hmm ok [19:10] thank you [19:10] !! [19:10] no idea what's causing it, whether it truly is preventing all operation, or what's going on :D [19:11] it's not a huge deal. this is a dev box that I can play with as much as I want [19:11] :) === tatie is now known as gregor300nolive [19:13] !weather nszp [19:13] Invalid query.

[19:27] pdilyard: newer edition might treat it better :) that's handy [19:27] yup, thanks again [19:28] st34lth: they made updates/changes to the GNOME 2 codebase, e.g. i think they're doing some GTK3 work. I've used both a lot, they work pretty much identically. [19:28] if you have third party non-repository packages that need GNOME libraries or whatever, that might be "fun", but you'd want to ask them about that sort of thing [19:32] ok another quick question...when configuring my wireless network, I ran ifup -a [19:32] it seems to be running continuously [19:32] and ^C won't stop it [19:32] what do i do?

[20:12] i'm getting /etc/init.d/dark-server: cannot create /var/run/dark-server.pid: Permission denied when i try and start a script - how would i solve this? [20:12] today I installed LTS 14.04.2 and my pc USB3 ports were detected and works only with USB 2 speed [20:12] svetlana: thank you [20:12] what device are you testing in the USB 3 ports? [20:12] ubottu: thank you for your informatuon [20:12] Holger-Beginner: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:12] Hello All [20:13] hi, RedPenguin. [20:13] I'm trying to find some remote desktop software besides TeamViewer that will allow to remote in to the current X session not create a new one [20:13] run vnc server there and connect to it with a vnc client. [20:13] daftykins: my external harddrive and a flashdice, both works on my pc booted in win 8.1 with full usb 3 speed... [20:13] TeamViewer did work but oddly no matter what I do, it claims I don't have a working network connection anymore [20:13] RedPenguin: i achieved that using the vnc server software availiable at the offical vnc website [20:14] svetlana: tried that but it seems to give me a totally different x session not the current XFCE running [20:14] it doesn't matter what teamviewer does; it's proprietary and includes backdoors [20:14] Holger-Beginner: i'd give a 14.04.1 image a go, 3.13 kernel vs. 3.16 - might give different results [20:14] used vnc4server [20:14] how are you strting it? [20:14] Hey guys, sure you love this question. How do I fix screen tearing in xfce? [20:14] svetlana: me? [20:14] i'm speaking with RedPenguin [20:14] daftykins: I am soory, first I tried it with 14.04.1 without any success [20:14] ok [20:15] svetlana: ran vnc4server and configed it when it asked for a password [20:15] or should I use x11vnc? [20:15] then it did hang in the terminal, right? [20:15] yes [20:15] then it should work. try x11vnc, if that also doesn't work, we'll go into details [20:16] the reason I need in, is for some reason HDMI will not auto start on my NVidia card and I don't have a VGA/DVI monitor hooked right now [20:17] x11vnc worked immediately ;) [20:17] I mean :) [20:18] RedPenguin: x11vnc let you use your current xsession? [20:18] yea [20:18] oddly x11vnc must have stopped it looks like [20:18] great [20:19] if it stopped look for log files in ~/ [20:19] i.e. ``ls -latr ~'' should give you list of files in your home directory, sorted by time of modification [20:20] odd it just claims my viewer stopped and it closed [20:22] ok now I got in but even though NVidia is seeing the HDMI it's acting like I can't enable it [20:23] might have gotten it === icetea is now known as Guest46650 === Guest46650 is now known as icecream [20:31] thanks again guys we got in and changed the xorg.conf with the nvidia utility and it looks like it's working except we gotta figure out why if you turn the TV off and back on it no longer shows the display [21:10] how to access top menu in mc? [21:10] via putty [21:11] :( [21:24] hello, in ubuntu, from terminal, what must i type to get a list of all files in a specified directory sorted by size? (the output should also include all files in all subdirectories of the specified directory)? [21:24] How do I get more wallpapers for ubuntu via terminal? [21:25] And also what are some safe ways to tweak my ubuntu to the max? [21:25] the files should be listed according to their size and not the subdirectory they are in... [21:26] hope i was clear :) === scorpio18__ is now known as scorpio18 [21:26] You could start by explaining what do you mean by "tweak to the max" cxdvty [21:27] Some say that tweaking kernels in ubuntu is highly unsafe is that true? [21:27] And just tweaks to make the system perform better and faster [21:28] deni74: ls -Rls gets close, but sorts by subdirectory. Maybe try find -print0 -type f | xargs -0 ls -1l | sort -k 5 [21:28] Hi guys - back again [21:28] cxdvty: I think you're looking for gentoo... [21:29] What is that? [21:29] Seveas: thank you. but i really need it to sort the files by their size (they are too many for me to adjust things manually) [21:29] cxdvty: a linux distro where they love "tweaking to the max" over sanity and stability [21:29] size only, not the subdirectory [21:29] deni74: did yo try the second command? [21:29] I just switched distros [21:30] oh sorry, i thought you said it didn't work, ok i will try now [21:30] how much video do I actually have to release from shared ram using xfce4 desktop for full motion video? - won't be editiing or anything like that - just watching video's or minor surfing from the file/game server on occasion - most of the time xfce won't even be running - but want to have the video ram allocated in case I need it. [21:30] oops - ubuntu server 1404.2 [21:31] deni74: it almost works. This works: find -print0 -type f | xargs -0 ls -1l | sort -k 5 -n [21:31] Seveas: where do i specify the directory? could you please give me an example with say Desktop directory? [21:31] deni74: just after the word 'find' [21:31] Seveas: sorry, newbie ;) [21:31] ah ok [21:33] best ubuntu version for a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V5535, Celeron® M-530 1.73GHz, 1Gb Ram, 80GB hdd [21:33] ? [21:33] deni74, `du -ah $DIR | sort -rh` [21:33] courtesy of http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/88065/sorting-files-according-to-size-recursively [21:33] ooh, a Celeron, haven't seen those in years [21:34] flit: du -h, not -ah, otherwise '100kb' is sorted higher than '10mb' :) [21:34] err, du -a [21:35] but good one, much better than my hack :) [21:35] Seveas, good catch :) [21:36] ok thank you, it works :) [21:36] varaindemian, probly one of the lighter flavours like xubuntu or lubuntu will run fine with those specs [21:36] varaindemian: Maybe try (L)ubuntu : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu . [21:36] BluesKaj: thank you [21:36] but wait looks like the terminal does not let me go all the way up... (i mean after executing, to look at the output) [21:37] deni74: add this: | less [21:37] deni74, you could redirect to a file (append `> file.txt`) or into a pager, e.g. less (append `| less`) [21:38] do i write it at the end? [21:38] yeah [21:38] I upgraded my box from LTS Wheezy to UTopic. The upgrade rolled out fine untill it hit phpmyadmin. A screen popped up asking to upgrade phpmyadmin. The issue with that is that it wouldn't upgrade. It wouldn't abort either so the only way way was to end the upgrade. The issue is that it didn't finish setting up the rest of the stuff that it was suppose to set up. How do I re run it? [21:39] ravigehlot: LTS Wheezy? [21:39] wheezy is debian 7 IIRC [21:39] ops sorry...from LTS [21:39] !ubuntu [21:39] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [21:40] ok perfect. last thing: could you remove from that list the directories? (i need just the files) [21:41] ravigehlot: dpkg --configure -a ; apt-get -f install ; apt-get dist-upgrade [21:41] (i mean can we adjust the command) [21:41] (from terminal) [21:42] deni74: no, but we can combine flit's answer with mine to achieve that I think. Give me a second [21:42] no hurry :) [21:42] find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -b | sort -n [21:43] (-a is not needed for du as we feed it files, -b gives you size in bytes instead of in 512-byte blocks) [21:48] ok great. how to put it largest first and then have the size like 1.6G, 615M, 9.5M, ... (like with du -ah /home/notte | sort -rh) [21:49] the -r in sort -r means reverse [21:49] so ijust cancel it? [21:50] find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -b | sort -rn [21:51] now, on how to do the GB sizes I don't know a simple tool. I'd pipe to to an awk script :) [21:52] but flit's script did it [21:52] yes, but that broke the sorting [21:52] 100kb would be avove 10gb [21:52] du -ah /home/notte | sort -rh [21:52] this one does the sizes well [21:53] deni74, Seveas is right, because 'my' version gave human readable sizes, it broke the sorting === fginther` is now known as fginther [21:53] what do you mean "broke the sorting"? [21:54] what are the commands needed to run a modem on lubuntu? [21:54] can you have some sort of backup of your entire ubuntu system? something like DeepFreeze on windows? [21:55] aldebaran_gonna_ read only USB drive? [21:55] aldebaran_gonna_: sure. rsync is your friend :) [21:55] Hi! I have an issue with dpkg. When I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" it eventually terminates with an error: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" [21:55] I'm on ubuntu 14.10, just installed today [21:55] the sorting looks ok to me... not broken... i don't understand [21:56] What I tried to do earlier was "sudo apt-get build-dep gnucash" which in turn led to problems with debhelper and dpkg. [21:56] hinnerk: it doesnt say more than that? [21:56] something like having a photograph(?) of your system of some moment and be able to go back to that state of the entire os [21:56] yes, it does. [21:56] that is just the final line. [21:56] deni74, ah no it should be ok due to the `-h` on the sort [21:57] earlier it says something in german (my system language): [21:57] i will read about rsync, thanks Seveas [21:57] maybe put the error on a pastebin and post the link here [21:57] dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten des Paketes debhelper (--configure): [21:57] Paket debhelper ist nicht bereit zur Konfiguration [21:57] so how do i adjust this to give me human readable sizes: find /home/notte -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -b | sort -rn > file.txt [21:57] ? [21:58] kann nicht konfiguriert werden (momentaner Status "half-installed" [21:58] hinnerk: pastebin the complete output please [21:58] i am 99% done :) [21:58] and then things that are apparently floolowup issues. [21:58] i can't install pastebin because of the issue either :) [21:58] tried earlier tonight. [21:58] you don't need to, just copy-paste the output yourself... [21:59] http://pastebin.com/s0BDfByR [21:59] back [22:00] if you need help translating, feel free to ask [22:00] hinnerk: sudo apt-get -f install [22:00] which package? [22:00] no package, that's the full command [22:01] same result. Want another pastebin? [22:02] Seveas, flit, thank you both.... 99% there is fine. Where do you learn how to do all this stuff from terminal? [22:03] yeah. Pastebin the output of this as well while you're at it: more /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*} | cat [22:03] deni74: experience and experimenting :) [22:03] so i should just experiment i guess..... ok :) [22:04] http://pastebin.com/7TrcMLUH [22:04] deni74, find $DIR -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -b | sort -rn | head -n5 | awk '{print $1/1024 "\t" $2}' [22:04] includes the first and second command and results. [22:04] and yes, too much time in front of a terminal [22:05] hinnerk: ls -la /var/cache/apt/archives/debhelper* [22:05] (and pastebin) [22:06] http://pastebin.com/ThEM1nf6 [22:06] flit: no it does not work [22:06] hinnerk: sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/debhelper_9.20140613ubuntu2_all.deb [22:06] it breaks (i guess that's what you call it) [22:06] hmm, what happened? [22:06] hinnerk: if that works, retry sudo dpkg --configure -a. If it doesn't: pastebin. [22:07] looks good so far. [22:07] also the sizes aren't like the ones in the previous example you gave me [22:07] looks good as well. [22:07] true, I'm not sure how to get it to be like that... the most recent one will just give everything in kB [22:07] what now? [22:08] hinnerk: the dpkg --configure -a worked this time? [22:08] worked. [22:08] i just get the first 5 lines and sizes like 4.24809e+06 [22:08] then done. Back to the build-dep you were trying :) [22:08] ok.... let's see.... [22:09] huh [22:09] (not human readable) [22:09] that was surprisingly short and fast. [22:09] No errors. I guess it worked. [22:09] Can someone please tell me how to det udev-systemd to stop renaming my network interfaces? [22:09] hinnerk: woo \o/ [22:09] Thank you very much, Seveas! [22:09] you're welcome [22:10] ah right, i have no big files it seems! [22:10] I still stunned how fast you solved that. [22:10] high-rez: have a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [22:10] I'm not sure how we would get it to be human readable without a more complex script [22:10] flit: as said human readable sizes is no big deal, i got 99% of what i was aiming for. thank you [22:11] hinnerk: I've seem similar problems hundreds of times now. [22:11] Hello. i Have installed on my machine Ubuntu and Kali... and i use Kali's GRUB to boot into systems... how i can remove Kali and GRUB so i will only have ubuntu ? anyone can please help me ? [22:11] deni74, no worries, glad we got you that far [22:12] flit: can a newbie do anything for you? [22:13] deni74: sing us a song :) [22:13] Seveas, good call [22:13] ok i'll give you the best of the best.... just give me a sec...

I want to save that state where apache, mysql and php works,then I want to play with them changing whatever I can, I am probably getting them unusable. And someday I will want to come back to the state where they were working. Can I do [22:15] that with something like Deja Dup? [22:16] THE BEST OF THE BEST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCFEk6Y8TmM [22:16] humble_, delete the kali partition, expand the ubuntu partition then use a tool like boot-repair [22:17] hey [22:17] ho [22:17] sudormrf where i can find some documentation on how to boot-repair ? [22:17] can someone tell me where i can get an equalizer plugin for videos app in ubuntu? [22:17] humble_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [22:18] So every time I restart ubuntu network access to my logical volume becomes unavailable until i manually browse files on the drive [22:18] my ubuntu server was working perfectly until i added a wireless pci card and 'auto eth1', 'iface eht1 inet dhcp'. Now it hangs on boot...any easy way to edit the interfaces when it won't boot..? pls. [22:18] try ubuntu software center@ [22:19] sonex recovery mode [22:19] hit esc after the BIOS, and select recovery mode [22:20] k [22:20] that gives a cli of some kind? [22:20] sonex yup root terminal [22:20] hopefully you are not women (as that song is not very nice to women :) [22:21] Can someone recommend a good equalizer for linux?

[22:40] which drive ? [22:40] hi if i want to send syslog logs to my syslog server do i need to install something? [22:41] Wow, that's a bit convoluted arcsky [22:41] sudormrf: I have a logical volume that wasn't auto mounting then after I turned off automatic mount options in Disks i got it to mount but the mount point changed [22:42] I just wanna change it back to what i was before === sesh is now known as Guest60100 === Guest60100 is now known as seshat [22:42] Quantos: ?

[22:57] time to stop with the antics guys [22:57] sudormrf: so where are we at right now [22:57] Bray90820, hmm. this may be a bit beyond me. I would think that you should be able to point /dev/disk/by-uuid/afe0deba-c4da-457e-bdd3-bc3a37623fae in your fstab to the mount point you would like (currently pointing at /mnt/afe0deba-c4da-457e-bdd3-bc3a37623fae), but I would like someone to confirm that this is safe.

[22:59] sudormrf: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/43728e2c3df7ccfaa455 [23:00] thats what I thought. sdb1 and sdc1 are members of that LVM group.

[23:03] why? [23:03] its the name of a river [23:03] Bray90820, first you would want to do this [23:03] and also a country [23:03] Bray90820, let's do this [23:03] NIGER: that's not why you've chosen it and we both know it [23:04] Bray90820, sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old [23:04] im not changing anything to suit your preconceived notions of racism [23:04] Bray90820, then sudo umount /mnt/afe0deba-c4da-457e-bdd3-bc3a37623fae [23:04] Then you won't get any help [23:04] Bray90820, then modify your fstab like the one I pasted. then sudo mount -a [23:05] verify that it mounted to the correct mount point. if it did, try restarting it to make sure it is still at the same mount point. [23:05] if it didn't we can roll back the settings. [23:05] NIGER: Please join us in #ubuntu-ops when you're ready to discuss this. [23:10] sudormrf: could I edit fstab with something like gedit [23:10] Bray90820: sure. gksudo gedit /etc/fstab [23:10] but did you make a backup yet? [23:11] I did [23:13] how do i record a xvnc via ffmpeg and stream it to a browser? [23:14] Bray90820, you could do it with gedit or nano [23:14] ok [23:14] brainproxy, are the files mounted to that location now?

[23:23] That actually was a lot of help [23:23] i'm trying to export data from a microsoft sql server into a csv file, so i installed FreeTDS. i can't find any utility that will escape the chosen field terminator when found within fields. [23:24] for example, if i use freebcp to export data, and use a comma as the field terminator, it won't even bother trying to escape that comma within any data fields and that would lead to a broken csv file. [23:25] can anyone tell me how to log into my wifes ubuntu it doesnt recognize her password [23:26] there's a mailing list thread consisting of a philosophical debate on field terminators and stroking the developers' egos while they decide there's no reason to escape the content. === djskripta is now known as djskripta-work-l === djskripta-work-l is now known as djskripta-work === djskripta-work is now known as skripta-wrk-lnx [23:27] it just makes me think of the Johnny Tables xkcd comic. very frustrating that there's no way to ensure a sane CSV export using the tools alone.

[23:28] the issue seems to be caused by sending MIDI out of my soundcard to a external synth [23:29] hi [23:29] well - by sending midi out of my soundcard [23:37] triss: I would start by filing a bug report against the kernel, the most basic such report would be done by running "ubuntu-bug linux". [23:38] I had posted an issue with overscan/underscan a few hours ago, I'm quite happy to report that the problem is solved [23:38] ok thats interesting.... so I just cause a crash reboot and send a bug like that? [23:38] hullo? [23:38] triss: For a better chance of a quicker response, you can file a bug report upstream (after reproducing the problem with a vanilla upstream kernel) following this guide: http://kernelnewbies.org/FoundBug [23:39] I'm running a lowlatency kernel...... [23:39] triss: *Better chance of a fix *and* a quicker response... [23:39] I guess I file against that instead? [23:41] triss: "ubuntu-bug linux" will check what kernel you're currently running and file a bug report against that package. [23:41] oh awesome. thanks Jordan_U I'll have a go. [23:42] triss: You're welcome. === willwh is now known as [willwh] [23:47] I need 12.04.4 audio help. If I play audio from e.g. mocp, then other players e.g. youtube on chrome will hang until I manually make mocp give up the audio device, and vice-versa, except mocp doesn't hang, it just complains audio is unavailable. One one 'player' at a time? Is that usual? [23:48] s/One one/Only one/ [23:49] Loshki: That is definitely not usual. Did you install 12.04 via the Ubuntu Desktop installer? [23:50] Jordan_U: pretty sure I did, and it's been kept up-to-date of course. Does the particular installer matter? [23:51] Loshki: If you had used the minimal or lubuntu installers you might not have pulseaudio installed. [23:51] Loshki: Let's check explicitly anyway. Please pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy pulseaudio". === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away === pumba is now known as pumbaway === pumbaway is now known as pumba [23:52] Hi, how to run mplayer from this site: http://portablelinuxapps.org on my pendrive? [23:53] :O :O [23:53] Jordan_U: it says "Installed: 1:1.1-0ubuntu15.4". And of course, ps ax shows it's running :-) Let me know if you still want the details. [23:54] Jordan_U: would I get any audio at all if pulseaudio wasn't running? [23:54] Hi, hu hu hu! how to run mplayer from this site: http://portablelinuxapps.org on my pendrive? [23:55] Loshki: Yes, it would go directly through alsa, which (without dmix) would limit you to one app at a time. [23:55] Representatives from ubuntu will swallow me now forever! Hehehe. [23:56] Hi, hu hu hu! how to run mplayer from this site: http://portablelinuxapps.org on my pendrive? [23:56] host127: Please be patient, wait at least 5 minutes (usually longer) before repeating your question. [23:57] Okey! I am hungry for 7 years asking the same question. [23:58] Ha? More 7 yeaes? [23:58] Hi, VBox shared clipboard stopped working, possibly after I updated to 4.3.24. Win8 64bit host, Ubuntu 14 guest [23:58] Jordan_U: I see, so pulseaudio might be running, but not actually doing anything (including not responding to pavucontrol). So is it that the apps are (mis)configured to use alsa? [23:58] Huhuhu! [23:58] any ideas? [23:58] just download iy and run it? === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [23:59] sjmikem: downgrading it would prove the point. I suppose you've tried updating the vbox tools? [23:59] Loshki: yeah, was hoping this might ring a bell before I went that route. Yes, just updated tools. [23:59] host127: changing your IP address is not a good way to resolve your #ubuntu quiet. Go to #ubuntu-ops if you want to do so, thanks.
