| BBLLCC | k1l_, so the idea is to reboot the system and start it from the usb cd? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, you cant resize the partitions you just use. so you need a live system to do that | 00:01 |
| k1l_ | use a live usb, or live cd or live dvd | 00:02 |
| RudeViper|Away | ok - I finally got the hardware stuff sorted out on the server install - ugh....Normally I search google for answers before asking questions here - only this time I don't know what search terms will get me the results I need....I would like to know how to make the command prompts (ie chuck@apollo) that appear on the cli screen show up in color - I've seen it in several youtube videos and even | 00:02 |
| RudeViper|Away | on LinuxMint live cd terminal windows.... How can I do this in ubuntu server? | 00:02 |
| BBLLCC | too lazy to do that now:D | 00:02 |
| newbooter | Now to move the swap partition to another disk... | 00:02 |
| newbooter | Does anyone know if there is a reason btw for Disk and Gparted reporting free space when df reports disk is full? Difference seems to be about 680 MB. | 00:03 |
| BBLLCC | k1l_, but I still need to reboot the system and restart it from the livecd, right? | 00:03 |
| k1l_ | RudeViper|Away, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt | 00:03 |
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, yes. you cant repair the car you are driving :) | 00:04 |
| === RudeViper|Away is now known as RudeViper | ||
| bekks | newbooter: Well, I tols you about 3 times to free up space ;) | 00:04 |
| RudeViper | thanks kil_ | 00:04 |
| bekks | newbooter: a disk is full when either no inodes are available anymore, or when all available space is used, but inodes are still available. | 00:05 |
| BBLLCC | to make a livecd I need to download the OS I chose and convert it with unetbooting, is that correct? | 00:07 |
| k1l_ | you can use dd for ubuntu isos | 00:07 |
| BBLLCC | k1l_, is dd in the repo? | 00:08 |
| k1l_ | its preinstalled on all ubuntu installations | 00:09 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu even got a graphical iso to usb tool: usb creator | 00:09 |
| BBLLCC | dont find it under system | 00:10 |
| k1l_ | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu | 00:11 |
| delinquentme | <_habnabit> delinquentme, your user's input data types will be in this set: {str} | 00:11 |
| newbooter | Ok bekks but I just don't get why Disks and Gparted report free space when in fact the disk is full. Maybe there is a good reason, but I find it very illogical and confusing. | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, what ubuntu are you on exactly? | 00:11 |
| BBLLCC | 14.10 | 00:11 |
| BBLLCC | make startup disk? | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | newbooter, you are mixing things here. you mix filesystem and partitions. | 00:11 |
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, the "installer disk" is a live system. just choose "use ubuntu without installing" at starting that | 00:12 |
| k1l_ | newbooter, ext4 keeps about 5% locked from the users and just to root, for letting the recovery still boot into the system even when a user made the whole disk full. | 00:14 |
| newbooter | Ah that makes sense k1l_. Thanks for the clarification :) | 00:15 |
| newbooter | And yes I am probably mixing partitions and filesystems... | 00:15 |
| newbooter | So if I create a partition of type linux-swap on another physical disk by using gparted on a live session, will the linux install know of the existence of that new swap file when I reboot into it? Does gparted take care of that? | 00:22 |
| k1l_ | no. you need to put that into your fstab to be used on ubuntu startup | 00:27 |
| leonic | mhello i can ´t install unrar | 00:28 |
| Bashing-om | newbooter: New swap, you have to edit /etc/fstab with the new UUID . | 00:29 |
| leonic | is missing do i have to enable aniting in the sofware center ?? | 00:29 |
| CptRageToaster | unrar? | 00:29 |
| BBLLCC | k1l_, how much time does my machine need to create the disc? | 00:30 |
| CptRageToaster | can the archive manager not handle .rar's? | 00:30 |
| leonic | yeh ton manage rar files | 00:30 |
| leonic | nop | 00:30 |
| CptRageToaster | leonic: command line? Or software center? | 00:30 |
| leonic | both | 00:31 |
| CptRageToaster | what happens with sudo apt-get install unrar? | 00:31 |
| CptRageToaster | I'm assuming it errors | 00:31 |
| CptRageToaster | can you pastebin the error? | 00:31 |
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, depends on the speed of that usb thing | 00:31 |
| leonic | it say is unavilable but is referred by another package | 00:32 |
| newbooter | Ok thanks Bashing-om. I will read up on that. ANd if I move the existing swap partition? Or is not possible to move to another physical disk with gparted? | 00:33 |
| CptRageToaster | leonic: Please pastebin the error | 00:33 |
| CptRageToaster | You're paraphrase is useless | 00:33 |
| CptRageToaster | your* | 00:33 |
| k1l_ | leonic, is multiverse enabled? | 00:33 |
| leonic | gime a sec | 00:33 |
| Bashing-om | newbooter: make up the swap partion - in GPartd is good - and edit /etc/fstab with the UUID ( sudo blkid ). | 00:34 |
| leonic | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10559294/ | 00:34 |
| CptRageToaster | leonic, lets take a look at your apt-sources | 00:35 |
| k1l_ | leonic, this is a live system? | 00:35 |
| leonic | yeah is live | 00:36 |

| CptRageToaster | leonic: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository | 00:37 |
| CptRageToaster | after you sudo apt-get update, you may get further | 00:37 |
| k1l_ | BBLLCC, it saves the stuff you change on the live system. | 00:37 |

| Yuken | Hi! I want to install UBuntu, but have no USB/CD/SD Card. | 01:19 |
| Yuken | Can I use WUBI, IE. Is it reliable? | 01:20 |
| k1l_ | no, its not reliable | 01:20 |
| SchrodingersScat | Yuken: it's normally not recommended by anyone as a good idea. | 01:20 |
| Yuken | Anyway to install without a physical device? | 01:20 |
| k1l_ | Yuken, pxe boot? | 01:20 |
| Yuken | k1l_: If that is LAN booting, I can't. | 01:20 |
| Yuken | k1l_: Only have this one PC available. | 01:20 |
| djames | yah, my kernel is showing all cores now. thanks again! | 01:21 |
| yeats | Yuken: go buy a USB drive | 01:21 |
| Yuken | yeats: Shhh, shhh. | 01:21 |
| k1l_ | so get a usb/cd/dvd to put a ubuntu iso ontp | 01:21 |
| tswett | I'm also wondering if there's an easy way to change the text size system-wide, or if I just need to do that for each individual application. | 01:21 |
| Yuken | Absolutely no way q.q? | 01:22 |
| k1l_ | you can try magic, if you decline all installation medias :) | 01:23 |
| Yuken | k1l_: I can't get anything like a USB, no money; only 13, XD. Parents don't want to buy them... | 01:23 |
| dadis | Yuken, get in contact with your local linux group, im sure they have ISOs to give you or a usb drive you can borrow/have | 01:30 |
| dadis | They'd be happy to help a youngin like you Yuken | 01:30 |
| tswett | Also, I can't use the brightness keys to control the screen brightness. The operating system can control the screen brightness just fine; it just doesn't seem to recognize the keys themselves. | 01:32 |
| tswett | Did I mention that this is an Asus laptop? | 01:32 |
| Yuken | dadis: Also, installign the 64-bit version automatically uses 64-bit repos, right? | 01:32 |

| Ullarah | Hello everyone! Going to give Ubuntu another go since Dapper Drake :P Now I'm installing it on an SSD, and I found this, https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd - Question is, do I have to do any of that after I install Ubuntu to my SSD? Going to be using 14.10 :) | 01:33 |
| Yuken | dadis: Think I could make an ext4 partition, and use that as a hard disk for a virtual machine, then install GRUB and point to that as a linux distro? | 01:34 |
| dadis | Yuken, is the PC you have access to functional? | 01:34 |
| Yuken | dadis: Using it right now. | 01:35 |
| dadis | Yuken, what OS? | 01:35 |
| Yuken | dadis: Admin Rights, Windows 7. | 01:35 |
| k1l_ | Ullarah, no, ubuntu takes care that its on a ssd if you make a install now | 01:35 |

| dadis | Yuken, it is kinda hacky | 01:36 |

| notdaniel | is there any decent way to do a full install of ubuntu onto a flash drive, but still have it boot like the live usb images do? like ive installed onto the flash drive but then it won't boot so well on machines where the drive ordering is different, etc. live usb boots the same wherever | 01:36 |
| dadis | Yuken, why don't you just use virtualbox until you have a usb drive? | 01:37 |
| Rhombix | hi. i've been using ubuntu 12.04 for live boot sessions, i want to know is it safe to use the internet from it in light of heartbleed, etc? do i have to update anything on it? | 01:37 |
| Yuken | dadis: I plan to use thi sfor games. All the games I play have Linux versions, which run muc hbetter on my laptop. | 01:37 |
| Yuken | dadis: 1.9ghz Pentium 4 w/ iGPU | 01:37 |
| k1l_ | Yuken, ask a friend or anyone to borrow a 2gb usb drive. then install ubuntu. fine | 01:37 |
| ObrienDave | notdaniel, yes, use ISO to install directly to USB stick. i have several like that | 01:37 |
| ObrienDave | notdaniel, the drive ordering MUST have USB stick before HDD | 01:38 |
| dadis | Yuken, nice, well try this http://askubuntu.com/a/484456/374784 | 01:38 |
| Yuken | dadis: For example, Rimworld. 30fps then it overheats in Windows 7, smooth flying 60 in Ubuntu with occasionial drops (http://www.rimworldgame.com) | 01:39 |
| notdaniel | @ObrienDave: sorry, i didn't explain right. i can get the other machines to boot from the usb, but it's grub that then gets pissed and says it can't find the OS on hd0 or wherever | 01:39 |
| ObrienDave | notdaniel, hmm, i have not run into that issue with my USB installs | 01:41 |
| notdaniel | ObrienDave: yeah, i didn't in the past either, but did this time. not sure, i'll just try again! maybe i installed the bootloader somewhere else by mistake or something | 01:43 |
| Yuken | dadis: I could use a Virtual Machine to install all the programs I need for now, make it into a .iso (there is a way to do that iirc, right?) and boot from that. | 01:43 |
| ObrienDave | could be | 01:43 |

| aarobc | hi! | 04:18 |
| aarobc | Is there a way I can run a graphical application using gksudo but not have the application run as the root user? Essentially the same as if I were to run it by typing `sudo gtkterm` in a terminal | 04:19 |
| trism | kanti: looks to be in libqt5svg5-dev | 04:19 |
| tswett | aarobc: well, you can use the -u option to tell gksudo which user you want to run the application as. | 04:19 |
| aarobc | tswett: I tried that, but then it seems to miss the fact that I want the application to run with root permissions. | 04:20 |
| kanti | trism | 04:20 |
| aarobc | I want to run with root permissions, but not as the root user. | 04:20 |
| aarobc | just like using sudo would do. | 04:20 |
| tony6912 | ciao | 04:21 |
| tswett | If I remember correctly, running something with sudo *does* run it as the root user, but also tells it who is running sudo. | 04:21 |
| tony6912 | !list | 04:22 |
| ubottu | tony6912: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 04:22 |
| tswett | aarobc: may I ask what you're trying to accomplish? | 04:23 |
| aarobc | tswett: oh. well with gksudo I'm running into a problem where it doesn't read any of the configuration files for the application, because it's looking for them in /root rather than my home directory as would typically happen | 04:23 |
| tswett | Ah. | 04:23 |
| mikhael_k33hl | I'm planning to have a server with two NICs, public and private. How do I go about configuring the gateway for both? | 04:23 |
| aarobc | tswett: just add a menu launcher to unity launcher to launch gtkrem because opening a shell and typing `sudo gtkterm` was getting tiresome. | 04:24 |
| aarobc | and sure, I could just deal with it running as root, but then it also doesn't have any of my pretty themes applied, and I like my pretty linux :D | 04:25 |
| zykotick9 | aarobc: YMMV, but i personally think launching a terminal as root (ie. with sudo) is a bad idea. (ie. i think you're doin' it wrong... but again YMMV). sidenote, isn't gksudo somehow deprecated (/me doesn't know the details)? | 04:26 |
| tswett | Is gtkterm the application you're trying to run? | 04:26 |
| tswett | If so, I think you could use the --config option to tell it which configuration file to use. | 04:27 |
| aarobc | zykotick9: gtkterm for serial terminal, unless you can suggest something better. | 04:28 |
| tswett | I don't really understand the difference betweek sudo and gksudo myself. | 04:28 |
| aarobc | zykotick9: what are the alternatives? | 04:28 |
| aarobc | zykotick9: and I have to run it as root because it complains if I don't. Apparently doesn't have access to usb-serial devices if you don't. | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | aarobc: there are many... _really_ depends what you want to do. but launching a terminal as root is in poor *nix-form IMO... again YMMV! | 04:29 |
| zykotick9 | arlen: "sudo -i" perhaps? | 04:29 |
| tswett | aarobc: ah, I think I might have found something. | 04:30 |
| zykotick9 | aarobc: tab fail, see msg to arle-n above. | 04:31 |
| aarobc | zykotick9: has to be launched from unity icon, so you can't just use plain old sudo | 04:31 |
| tswett | Perhaps the command you want is this: gksudo env HOME=/your/home/directory yourgraphicalapplication | 04:32 |
| aarobc | tswett: you give me hope | 04:32 |
| tswett | That will tell the application that the home directory it should use is your home directory, not root's. | 04:32 |
| zykotick9 | aarobc: sorry, i got nothin' to suggest for that. good luck! | 04:32 |
| === RudeViper is now known as RudeViper|ZZZzzz | ||
| tswett | Apparently gksudo automatically changes the HOME environment variable to root's home directory. That env command will change it back | 04:33 |
| aarobc | tswett: you are the man! | 04:33 |
| aarobc | tswett: much thanks | 04:34 |
| tswett | No prob. | 04:34 |
| tswett | Now I've got a question. Actually just a more detailed version of a question I asked a little while ago. | 04:37 |
| tswett | Actually actually, lemme do some Googling before I ask it. | 04:37 |

| Guest77752 | hi | 07:02 |
| zerowaitstate | lana: whether a port is open or not is a complex question, given that firewalls rules can trigger on lots of things including packet source. Your best bet is ipchains -L | 07:03 |
| zerowaitstate | lana: if you want to know additionally if a process is listening on a port, netstat -l will tell you that | 07:04 |
| lana | zerowaitstate: http://pastebin.com/KRn7t4Yx | 07:05 |
| lana | zerowaitstate:I want to just download the torrent files | 07:06 |
| zerowaitstate | lana: it looks like there is a service listening on that port on both ipv4 and ipv6 on all interfaces | 07:06 |
| zerowaitstate | lana: ipchains will tell you if the port is open on the firewall. | 07:06 |
| zerowaitstate | lana: also, are you behind NAT? | 07:07 |
| lana | zerowaitstate:how to check that | 07:07 |
| zerowaitstate | is your IP address 192.168.something.something? | 07:07 |

| rww | Ubuntu doesn't have a firewall active by default, so you don't need to open ports in it. | 07:45 |

| BlueProtoman | I have to upload a file to an AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) server. How can I do that on Ubuntu 14.10? | 07:46 |

| ubottu | Sacred-Shadows try to remove your bad ppa: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 07:57 |
| Sacred-Shadows | lotuspsychje, sorry im so vague i dont know where to start | 07:57 |
| Sacred-Shadows | thankyou ubottu i will try that | 07:58 |

| Sacred-Shadows | k i read that link, which ppa am i removing or do i reset all of them? cause im not sure which ppa it is but when i tried to get wireshark it said errors were encountered while processing, /var/cahce/apt/archives/wireshark_1.99.4+git20150306194848-0ubuntu1~tursty1~ppa0_amb64.deb (sorry for all the text in the chat) | 08:10 |
| BlueProtoman | ...Nautilus has built-in AFP support. I went and brainfucked the issue again. | 08:12 |
| Ben64 | BlueProtoman: tone the language down in this channel please | 08:12 |
| DarkSector | Ben64 he could be talking about the programming language :) | 08:21 |
| DarkSector | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck | 08:21 |
| Ben64 | DarkSector: still not allowable | 08:23 |
| xS1mple_ | is it possible with nautilus to hide files named a certain thing? | 08:24 |
| === xS1mple_ is now known as xS1mple | ||
| xS1mple | eg. I want to hide all desktop.ini files (from dual boot) in the file manager | 08:24 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: you can hide folders with renaming the file with a . in front | 08:37 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: I would prefer not to rename them as most are part of a windows installation | 08:37 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: put them in a folder you rename then? | 08:38 |
| xS1mple | ehh, I want to avoid renaming at all tbh | 08:39 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: perhaps it's not possible with the default file manager? | 08:39 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: whats your end goal exactly with this? | 08:39 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: well I have a bunch of desktop.ini files in random folders on a hard drive that's shared across an ubuntu and windows installation | 08:40 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: I don't particularly want to rename them or delete them as they'll just appear again when I use windows, wondering if there's a way to filter them out without doing that | 08:40 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: and why you want to hide those? to make it cleaner? | 08:40 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: and yes, to make it cleaner | 08:40 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: i think those files are even safe to delete, but if you rename it .desktop.ini it will hide on ubuntu | 08:41 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: they are safe to remove, but windows will keep creating them based on my folder view preferences | 08:42 |
| xS1mple | hence, the hide without rename/delete | 08:42 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: and ubuntu will keep showing the files in nautilus because they exist | 08:43 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: yep, so there's no manual filter I can apply either through config or gui settings? | 08:43 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: not sure of that maybe there's a dconf-editor trick | 08:44 |
| xS1mple | lotuspsychje: I'll check out dconf-editor stuff, thanks for the replies | 08:46 |
| lotuspsychje | xS1mple: the simplest way is rename with . or try the ##windows guys howto perm delete those desktop.ini's | 08:47 |
| Sacred-Shadows | lotuspsychje, hey man thankyou for the help, i have figured out that the file PPA file that is giving me problems is /var/cache/apt/archives/wireshark_1.99.4+git20150306194848~8a945181-0ubuntu1~trusty1~ppa0_amb64.deb and i need to remove it but am how to find its repository name & subdirectory.. please help! :) | 08:47 |
| lotuspsychje | Sacred-Shadows: you can browse your ppa's also in software sources in ubuntu, then checkout ppa's there to remove also | 08:48 |
| Sacred-Shadows | lotuspsychje, sorry im not entirely sure what you mean | 08:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Sacred-Shadows: check start button (left corner up) and find software&updates | 08:49 |

| cogitation | Okay, more details. I don't have a log, unfortunately. | 09:10 |
| cogitation | Every time I go into suspend, upon resuming, the greeter has massive graphical distortion. | 09:11 |
| silverdrake | sorry for butting in , can anyone help me with a very atipical sound problem? | 09:11 |
| Sacred-Shadows | lotuspsychje, how do i remove the ppa from my sources list? with sudo ppa-purge... then what? | 09:11 |

| james__ | I'm a new ubuntu user, so I don't really know how to recover or do a workaround either. I tried using ctrl-alt-F8 to get a new gui and that didn't work. I tried going to tty1 and logged in, then tried to start unity and it wouldn't let me. | 09:13 |
| silverdrake | my sound output selection mutes the wrong channels ; for ex when i first selected headphones (front panel) the speakers muted as they should , since then they've always been muted no matter what i do or what output i select | 09:14 |
| silverdrake | recently i've used alsamixer to disable the auto-mute (oh, removing the headphones worked but i don't want to remove them) | 09:14 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound | silverdrake | 09:14 |
| ubottu | silverdrake: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 09:14 |
| silverdrake | lotus , nothing i've found online helped | 09:15 |
| silverdrake | i've got the problem narrowed down to a driver malfunction | 09:15 |
| james__ | !patience | 09:15 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 09:15 |
| silverdrake | it mutes the wrong channels | 09:15 |
| silverdrake | when selecting a different output | 09:15 |
| lotuspsychje | !tty | james__ | 09:16 |
| ubottu | james__: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 09:16 |
| silverdrake | it keeps both speakers and headphones working for all output settings | 09:16 |
| silverdrake | but muted the surround channels | 09:16 |
| james__ | Thanks, lotus, but I knew that much. As I was saying, that didn't help, and the bug is quite persistant. | 09:16 |
| silverdrake | although they are disabled in speaker config in sound settings | 09:16 |
| james__ | I basically can't go into suspend at all. | 09:16 |
| jjavaholic | http://pastebin.com/ygSZHF1X I suspect libva but don't know how to test it | 09:17 |
| silverdrake | so this is the git of it : sound output selection only affects surround channels even if they are disabled instead of muting speakers or headphones | 09:17 |
| silverdrake | i can make manual modifications using volume change in alsamixer but this is an effort i'd rather not make everytime i switch from speakers to headphones and back | 09:19 |
| james__ | ...okay, the NickServ won't stop kicking me. | 09:19 |
| silverdrake | can i configure sound output settings to correctly mute the channels i need? | 09:19 |
| lasko | silverdrake: I'm not expert on sound so I couldn't help you very much but I might be able to help in some way. | 09:23 |
| james__ | Hi lasko. | 09:23 |
| silverdrake | like specify which sound channels are associated with rear panel speakers and which with front panel headphones ? (i want to keep both plugged in and just change output from one to the other) | 09:23 |
| lasko | silverdrake: Give me a few minutes to re-read your comments | 09:23 |
| silverdrake | thanks lasko , how? | 09:23 |

| lotuspsychje | lyze237: wb | 09:25 |
| james__ | I'm having a graphical distortion upon coming out of suspend mode in 14.10, default ubuntu. The screen is very distorted and I don't even know any workarounds, being a new user, so the two or three times it's happened now, I've just had to reboot. | 09:25 |
| james__ | Would love at minimum to know an effective workaround, if not a way to make it stop going haywire. | 09:25 |
| silverdrake | yes , by lowering volume in alsa on the headphones i can get sound only in speakers and lowering volume in speakers to get sound only in headphones | 09:25 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, ubuntu looks good now having a problem with installing windows after arch/ ubuntu ;) | 09:26 |
| Sacred-Shadows | lotuspsychje, sorry mate but how do i remove the ppa from my sources list? with sudo ppa-purge? im trying that and updating but its not working yet, to confirm; i should be in /var/cache/apt/archives where the file is and sudo ppa-purge from there? | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | james__: did you test with 14.04 | 09:26 |
| lasko | silverdrake: But you can't get those same settings in the ubuntu sound applet? | 09:26 |
| silverdrake | no | 09:26 |
| lyze237 | I have a problem with my grub setup. however i am using arch linux - but im banned in the arch linux channel for idk what reason :(. i installed windows after arch and now grub is kinda messed up | 09:26 |
| silverdrake | those setting wronly affect other sound channels | 09:26 |
| lotuspsychje | lyze237: did you do your ssd firmware yet | 09:26 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, yes i did ;) | 09:26 |
| james__ | lotuspsychje: I had 14.04 formerly, actually, and the bug was the same. | 09:26 |
| silverdrake | like selecting speakers i get sound in both speakers and headphones | 09:27 |
| james__ | I did an upgrade to 14.10 from 04 | 09:27 |
| silverdrake | selecting headphones is the same : sound everywhere | 09:27 |
| silverdrake | in alsa i noticed that this selection affects only the surround channels of my rear panel | 09:27 |
| james__ | uh...brb, my dog just threw up | 09:28 |
| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| lasko | Interesting. Well I could investigate a bit more unless someone else has suggestions but honestly I haven't a clue as to why that would be happening. | 09:28 |

| silverdrake | to no effect | 09:28 |
| lotuspsychje | lyze237: i would ubuntu single on your evo :p | 09:28 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, if ubuntu would have worked the way it should (getting a blackscreen when switching to tty and getting a lock screen boot whenever i try to unlock my os) then i would have used it for quite some time | 09:29 |
| lyze237 | *lock screen loop | 09:29 |
| === thomas_ is now known as Guest48063 | ||
| lotuspsychje | lyze237: on 14.04 you had a lock? | 09:30 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, yes i had a lock screen loop. whenever the os entered the lock screen and i reactive the computer with my password - all i see is 30 sek a black screen and then again the lock screen login prompt | 09:31 |
| lotuspsychje | lyze237: what brand is this machine? | 09:31 |
| james__ | back | 09:32 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, custom. open source drivers works fine but i need the propertiary drivers. | 09:32 |

| silverdrake | bye | 09:35 |
| james__ | bye silver. Wish I could help | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | lyze237: i mean on the offical website of your card, should mention optimus technology supported or not | 09:35 |
| james__ | is anyone able to help me with either discovering the problem, or finding a workaround? | 09:35 |
| lotuspsychje | james__: install 14.04 | 09:36 |
| james__ | lotus, why do you say that? | 09:36 |
| james__ | I had 14.04 and the same thing happened. | 09:36 |
| james__ | Also, what's wrong with 14.10? | 09:36 |
| lotuspsychje | james__: did you check your logs for errors? | 09:37 |
| james__ | I mean, simply not using suspend would be less inconvenient than a complete O.S. reinstall | 09:37 |
| james__ | I didn't... brand new linux user. Not sure where/how to do that. | 09:37 |
| james__ | What should I do? | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | james__: check your syslog and dmesg logs | 09:37 |
| lyze237 | lotuspsychje, well if i would detailed information about the graphics card then i could look on the official website | 09:37 |
| lotuspsychje | james__: you can also check in realtime: tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg then play around with your suspend | 09:38 |
| james__ | "Is there anyone here who can advise a new " | 09:38 |
| james__ | I meant to paste: "syslog: command not found" | 09:38 |
| james__ | I tried tail -f... and got a spooling log with a whole bunch of stuff in it. | 09:40 |
| james__ | When I go into suspend, I can't do anything...the graphical distortion is severe, and I don't know any workarounds. | 09:40 |

| Ben64 | you don't combine them! you need the ppa name, nothing at all to do with that filename, as i've told you countless times | 09:51 |
| Ben64 | use the software sources as you were told hours ago | 09:51 |
| k1l_ | Sacred-Shadows: you use ppa-purge which will remove the ppa and the packages from that ppa. | 09:52 |

| Dorfen | Hey Guys! :) I just got an extra ssd disk, my system is installed on as is. On Windows i would maybe use this disk to install specific applications on for faster performance, how would i achieve this in ubuntu? | 10:00 |
| Dorfen | clarification i already have an ssd my system is installed on, i now have an extra! :) | 10:00 |
| azizLIGHT | any recommendations for a screen recordoing software? | 10:00 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: you really wouldn't | 10:00 |
| Sacred-Shadows | k1l_, http://pastebin.com/xRF2eVEb | 10:00 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: ubuntu splits the binaries and the libraries and configs into different file systems | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: so your best bet would be to put / on the ssd | 10:01 |
| Dorfen | well i already have one ssd on the / i now have a second one i would like to put into use, this is not doable_ | 10:01 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: so if you already have / on an SSD, why would the second ssd make it any faster ? | 10:02 |
| Dorfen | I have more space on ssd disks! :) Yes, i could buy 1 big one, but now i have 2! So this is what i have to work with! :) | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: that wasn't your statement | 10:03 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: your statement was to make it faster | 10:03 |
| === tatie is now known as gregor3000nadrug | ||
| Dorfen | No it was not? | 10:03 |
| k1l_ | Sacred-Shadows: it whos several issues there. 1) you are logged in as root which is not common on ubuntu 2) if you want to remove that ppa why dont you use the ppa-purge now? | 10:03 |
| Dorfen | I asked if i could choose to install applciations on it like i would in windows for those specific applications to load faster? I have 3 other rpm disks too for storage. | 10:04 |
| Sacred-Shadows | ofcourse only my problem is i dont know how to phrase the argument k1l_ | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: quote "On Windows i would maybe use this disk to install specific applications on for faster performance, how would i achieve this in ubuntu?" | 10:04 |
| lyze237 | back ;) | 10:04 |
| RDX4OO | Dorfen, u can use your 2 ssd's in Raid 0 but that's gonna be useless cause, the normaly writespeed from an ssd is like 500 Mbit's and that's fast enough ;) | 10:04 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: bottom line - is no | 10:04 |
| Dorfen | What i would do on windows would be have c and d drives, on installation of an app i would choose to place it on an ssd if i wanted it to load fast. I wanted something similar in ubuntu. | 10:05 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: doesn't work like that on ubuntu | 10:06 |
| Dorfen | So when my / gets full i just cant install anymore apps? That is really stupid! | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no, it's not stupid | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: it's about managing space correctly | 10:06 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: eg: move your home partition onto the second disk for example, to remove personal data from your / file system | 10:07 |
| === timothy is now known as Guest86627 | ||
| Dorfen | No not in a one disk world, but on a desktop computer with multiple disks, yes its kinda stupid. | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: - as an easy example | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no, it's not "kind of stupid" | 10:07 |
| Dorfen | that would just reverse my issue? | 10:07 |
| Dorfen | Then my current ssd would be obsolete. | 10:07 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: how would that reverse your issue ? | 10:07 |
| k1l_ | Sacred-Shadows: ppa-purge ppa:dreibh/ppa | 10:07 |
| lyze237 | Dorfen: moving your /home directory obto a different partition will move every private file (music...) to a different partition but the applications and os will still be on your ssd | 10:08 |
| Dorfen | this is my setup: i have one 240 gb ssd mounted on / everything ubuntu installed on is on this disk. | 10:08 |
| Dorfen | I now have an extra ssd, i would like to use that too. | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: why ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: what is the problem you are actually trying to solve | 10:09 |
| RDX4OO | 240 GB just for / is so many place :D | 10:09 |
| lyze237 | totally :) except you are installing steam on your / partition | 10:10 |
| Sacred-Shadows | k1l_ omg you.. are a life saver like.. really dude THANK-YOU | 10:10 |
| Sacred-Shadows | so now would it probobley work to download wireshark and have it work? k1l_ | 10:10 |
| Dorfen | AS i said. On windows i would have used theese drives as c and d, on theese drives all there would be is operating systems, and applications nothing else! All my files and shit is on rpm disks, this setup is what i aim for or something similar. I thougth about home partition on a seperate disk, but still doesnt solve the disk size problem entirely cause at some point my ssd is gonna get full. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: forget windows | 10:11 |
| MrSassyPants | So ok, I'm using the wireless share NetworkManager thing to share the wired connection. But there's an odditiy which I have observed before, clients in the wireless seem to have "internets", but trying to open youtube videos and some other applications doesn't work. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: and there is no need to swear | 10:11 |
| === pinion is now known as Guest93356 | ||
| ikonia | Dorfen: if you move /home onto your second SSD you will have no problems | 10:11 |

| ikonia | allowing you to manage your space | 10:12 |
| Dorfen | Then i would store home folder files on my second ssd, this is not what im after. | 10:13 |
| lyze237 | Dorfen: Well there are no big applications under linux which will fill your 240! gb ssd. so mounting a seperate disk to /home works perfectly. those 240 gb wont get full in a lifetime. im using my os since 2 yeahrs and i still have 30 gb from a 50gb partition left. | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: what you are after does not work in the linux work | 10:13 |
| k1l_ | Sacred-Shadows: you dont need a ppa to install wireshark, yes | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: hence forget how windows does it | 10:13 |
| Dorfen | Well, i have wine, i have VM's running on the ssd etc, so yes they are getting full! :) | 10:13 |
| lyze237 | then move those to the other os? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: move the vm's to the home partition then | 10:14 |
| lyze237 | * partition not os | 10:14 |
| Sacred-Shadows | darn i just got disconnected did u reply? k1l_ | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: they are your VM's so should either be in system space (on a seperate disk) or in your home directory | 10:14 |
| Dorfen | Well still having steam, blizzard app, my dev apps etc is filling up my ssd rather nice! my /home is like 20 mb, that would solve nothing. | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: sorry- thats just not correct | 10:15 |
| RDX4OO | Dorfen, u have an PM from me | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: your applications are not filling up your home disk to the tune of 240GB | 10:15 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: other things are taking up your space | 10:15 |
| elichai2 | hey, would like if someone try to help me: | 10:16 |
| elichai2 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1429552 | 10:16 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1429552 in linux (Ubuntu) "0cf3:3004 - Qualcom Atheros - Ubuntu 14.10 bluetooth not working" [Undecided,New] | 10:16 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> Sacred-Shadows: you dont need a ppa to install wireshark, yes | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: and they are the things that should live on your other disk, depending on what they are, depends how to lay it out | 10:16 |
| Sacred-Shadows | k1l_, IS AMAZING, EVERYONE REALIZE HIS GREATNESS | 10:16 |
| Dorfen | RDX4OO: So you are telling me that my steam games, my blizzard games etc is not filling up my space? >D | 10:16 |
| lyze237 | so btw is there a way to create a smaller partition from a partiton which is in a ext4 file format? (with no data loss?) | 10:17 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: please help in the channel - not in pm | 10:17 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: lets work through the real questions and please be honest with the answers, | 10:18 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: do you actually KNOW what is taking up your space | 10:18 |
| lyze237 | Dorfen: yes but they are stored in /home. move /home to a different disk then everything works perfectly | 10:18 |
| Dorfen | At the moment it's not an issue i can just see it being an issue at some point! :) | 10:19 |
| Dorfen | But yes i have a steam install on around 78 gig | 10:19 |
| lyze237 | oh and forget my question thought i was in the #windows channel | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: basically you can carve up any additional disks you want and mount them anywhere you want to offset the space problems | 10:19 |
| RDX4OO | of course they do but, u can install your steam games on another partition like, in a differenet Folder in /home maybe. So if u keep moving /home to an another partition and install the steam games into the new /home Folder, your problem will be solved i guess :) | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: however this would normally not be needed with a bit of basic awareness of what you're using and where they are stored, and where they can be stored | 10:20 |
| MrSassyPants | So yeah, why do most things work over a shared wireless connection (set up with NetworkManager) but Youtube Videos and app store updates don't? | 10:20 |
| ablest1980 | hi | 10:20 |
| ablest1980 | rdx what games do you got? | 10:20 |
| RDX4OO | ablest1980, not me ;) Dorfen is playing on Linux | 10:21 |
| ablest1980 | me too | 10:21 |
| ablest1980 | steam and cs | 10:21 |
| ablest1980 | :) | 10:22 |
| Dorfen | RDX4OO: That is excactly what I'm after although steam gives me this choice not unix, how could i install steam itself in my home directory as an example? | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: steam does not install in your home dir | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: the games do | 10:22 |
| azizLIGHT | wow this is crazy. some little kid on youtube is doing tutorials for ubuntu software installation | 10:22 |
| ablest1980 | i have valve pack but only cs is installed | 10:22 |
| azizLIGHT | he must be like... under 10 | 10:22 |
| Dorfen | ikonia: that was not what i asker. | 10:22 |
| Dorfen | asked* | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: that is the answer though | 10:23 |
| cfhowlett | Dorfen, back up your steam games first. then go into steam settings and point to the new director. restore games to your target | 10:23 |
| Dorfen | guys, you are besides the point. | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no | 10:23 |
| lyze237 | Dorfen: steam will install all your games to /home/name/.local/share/Steam | 10:23 |
| ablest1980 | dorfen there is a #ubuntu-steam channel | 10:23 |
| RDX4OO | Dorfen, check this Link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: you need to work with how linux works | 10:23 |
| ikonia | not compare it to how you used to do things in windows | 10:23 |
| Dorfen | I know that steam has an option, nice of steam. How does ubuntu do the same? | 10:23 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: it doesn't | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: manage your space, stop trying to change the system | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: as I said at the start | 10:24 |
| Dorfen | STOP! | 10:24 |
| Dorfen | You are running down a road cause i mentioned an app. | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no, I'm not | 10:24 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: I'm running down that road because you keep asking how to change where applications are installed | 10:25 |
| ikonia | and I've said "you can't" | 10:25 |
| Dorfen | ikonia: look at the chat, ppl spamming about steam, i just stopped as it is not what i wanted to do. | 10:25 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: what do you actually want then ? as you keep asking how to move applications | 10:26 |
| Dorfen | Yes I am aware of you saying that, and as I still say that has nothing to do with where steam install its stuff. | 10:26 |
| RDX4OO | Dorfen, let us all start from the beginning please so, what u rly want to do? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: steam will install games where you tell it to | 10:26 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: steam will be installed where the package forces it to be | 10:26 |
| ablest1980 | dorfen do you want to back up steam games on cd or dvd? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | ablest1980: he has mentioned nothing about that ??? | 10:27 |
| ablest1980 | i dont know | 10:27 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, i guess the problem it is not about steam. i want to reade what, Dorfen will exactly want to do | 10:28 |
| azizLIGHT | how do i make it so i dont have to type sudo password again and again if im logged in | 10:28 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: he wants to install certain apps in different directories | 10:28 |
| lyze237 | aziz open up a root promot | 10:28 |
| azizLIGHT | since i have a user password to login, and my screensaver times out at 2 minutes requiring a paassword, i dont want to enter anymore sudo passwords in prompts | 10:28 |
| ikonia | azizLIGHT: your screen saver is not locked by sudo | 10:29 |
| ikonia | it has nothing to do with sudo | 10:29 |
| ikonia | that is just your user password | 10:29 |
| ikonia | change your screen save lock time | 10:29 |
| Dorfen | okay first of, I ran windows 6 months back. On that setup i had C drive on one ssd, and D drive for steam, blizzard,visual studio and other heavy stuff I wanted to load fast. I had E F G as rpm disks for media and file storage. I switched to ubuntu a while back, and i have not used windows for months now. | 10:29 |
| Dorfen | I installed ubuntu on my C drive, gave it the entire disk under LVM. | 10:29 |
| msev_ | would anyone of you guys know why google earth wouldn't want to connect to a custom server that I'm piping some coordinate data into? while if I open that url in google chrome it displays me the data inside just fine | 10:30 |
| azizLIGHT | ikonia: i meant that, when i login after being locked out by screensaver, i dont want to put in anymore passwords, including sudo on a prompt | 10:30 |
| Dorfen | Now i want to format my old D drive (ssd disk 2), and put that to use in ubuntu in a similar way. | 10:30 |
| ikonia | azizLIGHT: change the sudo rules to "NOPASSWD" | 10:30 |
| ikonia | azizLIGHT: there are docs on the ubuntu wiki on how to | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: "you can't do that" | 10:30 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: you can use your disks correctly though | 10:31 |
| Dorfen | I am now aware this is not doable, so this was just to clarify my question, as Ikonia asked for it! | 10:31 |
| Dorfen | And how would that be_ | 10:31 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: I as I explained earlier | 10:31 |
| Dorfen | mounting the ssd uner /home? | 10:31 |
| Dorfen | nah solves nada | 10:31 |
| ikonia | it solves everything | 10:32 |
| ikonia | and that is one option | 10:32 |
| ikonia | I said quite a lot more than "just mount it on home" | 10:32 |
| firefoxvt | what is different between shutdown -h 0 and poweroff? | 10:32 |
| ikonia | firefoxvt: shutdown runs through the init process | 10:33 |
| ikonia | you should not use poweroff | 10:33 |
| pc-moon_ | hello , i have hp cpu 500-470nx desktop , i wanna install ubuntu do thats is possible | 10:33 |
| Dorfen | In the hypothetical case that i fill up my entire disk just by installing stuff from ubuntu store, how would i add an extra disk and continue? | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: that case is not realistic | 10:33 |
| Dorfen | yes it is. | 10:33 |
| firefoxvt | thanks | 10:33 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no it's not | 10:33 |
| Dorfen | I have a 20gb disk, go! | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: what is using up your space | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: as I asked earlier do you actually KNOW what is using your space | 10:34 |
| Dorfen | ikonia: You are getting on my nerves, sry! I said HYPOTHETICAL. | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: that is not a realistic case | 10:34 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: this is real world | 10:35 |
| Dorfen | Why is it not a realistic case? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: because you will not install 240GB of applications | 10:35 |
| Dorfen | I have a 20gn harddrive, i install ubuntu. | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: no you don't | 10:35 |
| ikonia | you have 240GB | 10:35 |
| ikonia | you told us earlier | 10:35 |
| Dorfen | omfg. | 10:35 |
| Dorfen | do you know what hypothetical means? | 10:35 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: I already said - this is real world | 10:36 |
| Dorfen | k | 10:36 |
| Dorfen | Guess you never studied. | 10:37 |
| ikonia | studied what ? | 10:38 |
| Dorfen | Since you can't debate a hypothetical case. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | this isn't a debate channel | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: and I'd already answered it earlier if you pay attention | 10:38 |
| Dorfen | Nope but that gets a debate about the issue i have going. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: you can carve you disks and mount them where ever you need space | 10:38 |
| b100s | hi2all! | 10:39 |
| b100s | i have ribble in my screen on ubuntu | 10:39 |
| ikonia | Dorfen: this isn't a debate channel - it's a support channel | 10:39 |
| b100s | i use monitor + notebook, but notebook screen i had turn off from system settings. what should i do to avoid ribbles? by the way, it is not always - time to time | 10:39 |
| RDX4OO | cd .. | 10:40 |
| RDX4OO | sry ^^ | 10:40 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, what did u do ? ;) | 10:41 |
| pc-moon_ | can anyone help me my desktop is windows 8 how can i install ubuntu | 10:46 |
| ikonia | !install | pc-moon_ | 10:46 |
| ubottu | pc-moon_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 10:46 |
| ikonia | pc-moon_: thats a good starting point | 10:46 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm | 10:48 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: errr no | 10:48 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, sry ^^ http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html | 10:48 |
| ikonia | pc-moon_: the official documentation ubottu gave you is a good starting point | 10:48 |
| ikonia | rather than external guides | 10:49 |
| pc-moon_ | oh well | 10:49 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uVcsFhv2Vo | 10:50 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, it's gonna be more easy for u now :) | 10:50 |
| ikonia | there is no need for youtube videos | 10:50 |
| neutralizer | 'sudo service minidlna start' says OK but does not start it where executing 'minidlnad' starts the server. what could be wrong? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | the official doc walks you thorugh it | 10:50 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, maybe not for us ;) | 10:50 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: maybe wait for someone to ask before ramming untrusted 3rd part youtube videos at people | 10:51 |
| pc-moon_ | i know how i can install or setup on anycomputer but this computer is windows and make like no usb for os i think may thats just support windows but in hp they wrote its supported may i miss something | 10:52 |
| ikonia | pc-moon_: whats the actual problem ? | 10:52 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, blame on me i am so sry | 10:52 |
| cfhowlett | pc-moon_, 1. get ubuntu. 2. make ubuntu USB. 3. boot ubuntu from USB. 4. install ubuntu | 10:52 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: no need for sorry | 10:53 |
| pc-moon_ | i cant open usb boot | 10:53 |
| pc-moon_ | i didnt saw in boot menu | 10:53 |
| ikonia | does the motherboard support booting from usb ? | 10:53 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, cause secure boot is activated :S | 10:53 |
| pc-moon_ | no i change to disable | 10:54 |
| pc-moon_ | my usb is created by unetbootin | 10:54 |
| RDX4OO | hmm, do u use the usb ports on the backside? | 10:54 |
| cfhowlett | pc-moon_, if you disable USB ... you cannot boot USB | 10:55 |
| pc-moon_ | ok most i enable it | 10:55 |
| jjavaholic | how can I test my usb individually? | 10:55 |
| bekks | jjavaholic: Test for what? | 10:55 |
| RDX4OO | cfhowlett, he disable the secure boot and not USB :) | 10:56 |
| RDX4OO | all Windows 8 PC's are in a Secure Boot or Fast Boot, so u can't boot from an external Medium like an USB Drive | 10:57 |
| bekks | RDX4OO: Thats not true. | 10:57 |
| cfhowlett | RDX4OO, FALSE | 10:57 |
| pc-moon_ | ok im trying to disable fastboot and secure boot | 10:57 |
| RDX4OO | bekks, so give me the right answer pls :) | 10:58 |
| === krokus is now known as Guest91503 | ||
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, just follow these steps :) http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2014/05/install-ubuntu-1404-alongside-windows.html | 11:00 |
| RDX4OO | 4. Turn off fast boot. To be able to boot to your Ubuntu USB drive you will need to turn off the fast boot option. | 11:00 |
| k1l_ | !dualboot | pc-moon_ go with the official howto | 11:01 |
| ubottu | pc-moon_ go with the official howto: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 11:01 |
| bekks | RDX4OO: Just because that 3rd party howto mentions it, it doesnt mean that every Windows 8 is using secureboot nor does it mean thta Windows 8 has enabled fastboot by default. | 11:01 |
| RDX4OO | pc-moon_, keep Secure Boot on enable but u have to Fast Boot disable | 11:02 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: stop talking | 11:02 |
| k1l_ | pc-moon_: on some pcs you need to press a key to boot from a usb or get a menu to select the boot order. so see your manual what to do on your machine | 11:02 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: if you don't know the answer - don't talk, don't push random links | 11:02 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, why should i ? it's a free irc channel ;) you don't have the force to put my mouth closed :) | 11:03 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: I do if you're giving bad information | 11:03 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: and as you don't appear to know the answer and you're just pushing things without knowing if/how they work, it seems bad, so please don't | 11:04 |
| cfhowlett | !behelpful | RDX4OO a little courtesy and discretion goes a long way ... | 11:05 |
| ubottu | RDX4OO a little courtesy and discretion goes a long way ...: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. | 11:05 |
| === nikolov_ is now known as Dreaman | ||
| RDX4OO | ikonia, the reason why he cant boot from an external usb drive was the fast boot option or not? so what did wrong? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | RDX4OO: that contradics your earlier advice | 11:06 |
| ikonia | you appear to be guessing | 11:06 |
| lyze | is there a full command list for ubottu? | 11:06 |
| ikonia | !ubottu > lyze | 11:07 |

| pc-moon_ | how can i check my usb is have working boot or not | 11:09 |
| ikonia | boot it in another machine ? | 11:10 |
| b100s | why my android cant be plugged in as usb storage to ubuntu 14.04? | 11:10 |
| lyze | b100s, i guess thats because it uses the mtp protocoll which is not supported | 11:12 |
| lyze | * or lets say better: not supported by default | 11:12 |
| k1l_ | ubunut supports mtp by default, iirc | 11:13 |
| lyze | does it? well thats something new for me sorry for the wrong information ;) | 11:13 |
| b100s | how can i check and fix it? | 11:13 |
| RDX4OO | ikonia, so go on pls and help pc-moon_ :) | 11:13 |
| k1l_ | lyze: gvfs and nautilus should be able to mount mtp | 11:13 |
| Romildo_Vitorino | pc-moon_ The boot disk creator of ubuntu 14.14 with this bug, suggest using unetbootin | 11:14 |
| k1l_ | b100s: what device is it= | 11:14 |
| bazhang | !info gmtp | 11:14 |
| ubottu | gmtp (source: gmtp): simple MP3 player client for MTP based devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.7-1 (utopic), package size 101 kB, installed size 472 kB | 11:14 |
| b100s | http://paste.org.ru/?x6hzk9 | 11:14 |
| b100s | i have philips w732 | 11:14 |
| b100s | with windows - ok | 11:14 |
| b100s | but ubuntu cant see it | 11:14 |
| k1l_ | b100s: are you sure mtp is enabled on the device itselv? can you pastebin "lsusb" and the part of "dmesg" after you plugged it in? | 11:16 |
| b100s | i can be sure that MTPZ is disabled :) from message above | 11:17 |
| b100s | uno momento | 11:17 |
| k1l_ | that android seem to be a russian model. most of the posts talking about ubuntu and mtp i find are on russian. maybe they have a fix for that? | 11:19 |
| b100s | k1l_, lsusb http://paste.org.ru/?j7dots | 11:19 |
| k1l_ | b100s: well, is it plugged in? as far as i see its not in lsusb | 11:21 |
| b100s | yep, and after plug it in - i didn se any changes in dmesg | 11:21 |
| b100s | tried 2 different cables | 11:21 |
| k1l_ | so make sure the device itself got mtp or usb connection enabled | 11:22 |
| b100s | device works ok with windows, but in ubuntu ((( even i didnt asked for use device as USB-storage as usual was with windows | 11:24 |
| b100s | so, i have two different netboks and the same - 2 cables, 2 ports and two noteboks - checked | 11:24 |
| b100s | dmesg without any changes, may it be problem with device? | 11:24 |
| k1l_ | yes | 11:25 |
| lyze | k1l_, should he be possible to try to connect the phone via the adb? to see if this works? | 11:25 |
| b100s | what is adb? | 11:25 |
| lyze | android debug bridge | 11:25 |
| lyze | thats a program for accessing your phone on the computer. | 11:25 |
| k1l_ | lyze: yes. but if its not even showing up on lsusb that might not work too | 11:25 |
| lyze | there is a command: adb devices which lets you see if the phone is properly connected to the adb and then you can access the content of the phone via adb shell | 11:26 |
| lyze | k1l_, yep thats the only problem we have here... | 11:26 |
| pc-moon_ | i git this msg | 11:27 |

| pc-moon_ | aha ok | 11:29 |
| Sagar | i am running just opencart sites | 11:29 |
| bekks | varaindemian: Everyone does, yes. | 11:30 |
| bekks | varaindemian: That device is just horrible, | 11:30 |
| varaindemian | bekks: damn | 11:30 |
| varaindemian | I barely managed to fix the resolution even tho it's not the desired one | 11:31 |
| Sagar | ? | 11:31 |
| bekks | varaindemian: And? :) | 11:31 |
| varaindemian | but I don't know how to fix the graphic acceleration | 11:31 |
| k1l_ | Sagar: see how much ram you have guaranteed. then see what you are using there. then see how you can limit the sites to ram access. | 11:32 |
| bekks | varaindemian: That thing does not even have graphics acceleration at all. | 11:32 |
| bekks | varaindemian: As I said, it is a horrible device. | 11:32 |
| k1l_ | Sagar: the processes that run the sites. | 11:32 |
| Sagar | i got 1GB RAM | 11:32 |
| Sagar | i use opencart 2.0 how can i make the limit? | 11:32 |
| varaindemian | bekks: what command you use to type my nick? | 11:32 |
| bekks | varaindemian: I typed "vara" and pressed the tabulator key. | 11:33 |
| k1l_ | Sagar: see what base system opencart uses and if they offer a ram limitation there. its your task as a admin :/ | 11:34 |
| varaindemian | bekks, thank you for your kind answers, but I feel horribly that I can't make linux working on my device :( | 11:34 |
| bekks | varaindemian: You said you did make it work. But you are trying things which are impossible with that device - like HW acceleration. | 11:34 |
| k1l_ | varaindemian: that card was horrible when it was a "new" card. not its old and horrible. sorry to say :/ sis never supported linux like others did. | 11:35 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Hi | 11:37 |
| lyze | hi ubuntu2342343 :) | 11:37 |
| ubuntu2342343 | What hapenned to "install alongside windows" option on the installer? | 11:37 |
| lyze | ubuntu2342343, nothing. should work normally | 11:38 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I can either whipe entire drive and install or "something else" | 11:38 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I don't understand "something else". I tried that and broke my pc trying to understand what partitions I should create, mount points etc, it was all too complicated. | 11:38 |
| lyze | well its easy ;) | 11:38 |
| ubuntu2342343 | So there is no alongside windows option anymore. | 11:39 |
| varaindemian | bekks, I didn't get the right resolution that my device supports. I have something similar to the right one | 11:39 |
| lyze | well i can guide you through if you want ;) | 11:39 |
| bekks | varaindemian: Thats the best you can get. | 11:39 |
| arun | anyone here tried http://gaminganywhere.org/ ?? | 11:39 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu2342343: there is that option if it is available | 11:40 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Ben64, What do you mean? | 11:40 |
| Ben64 | if its possible for the installer to do that, it shows up | 11:40 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Yeah but I have a pc with 2 x hdd. 1 = 225gb ssd with Windows 7 on it and nothing else. | 11:40 |
| ubuntu2342343 | It's totally clean | 11:40 |
| lyze | efi? | 11:41 |
| ubuntu2342343 | lyze, I think so yes how does that change things? | 11:41 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Is it this new "secure boot" that screws things up? | 11:41 |
| === argali is now known as asper | ||
| lyze | ubuntu2342343, perhapse. i have disabled it and it works for me. but if you want i can guide you through the "something else" settings | 11:42 |
| ubuntu2342343 | lyze, Thanks, maybe. So if you have efi the alongside windows option is not there presumambly. | 11:44 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I just found this I think it usually affects windows8 but in my case 7 as well: http://askubuntu.com/questions/302680/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-alongside-uefi-enabled-windows-8 | 11:45 |
| lyze | ubuntu2342343, yeah ok use that then i dont need to explain it to you :) however i would use one of your 2 hdd's as a /home mountpoint. | 11:46 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Separate partition for home. You mean incase I have to upgrade later on or for some other reason? | 11:47 |
| boris`` | hello, i've force installed php-zeroc-ice which depends on php packages. i have installed an alternate set of php packages from my vserver provider. but now apt-get upgrade won't proceed because of the dependency failure. is there a way to configure it to ignore dependencies for that package only? | 11:47 |
| ubuntu2342343 | Honestly the amount of education you need just to get into Linux these days is getting crazy. Normal people are never going to experience Linux at all. | 11:47 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu2342343: actually its much easier than it used to be | 11:47 |
| ubuntu2342343 | bullshit! | 11:48 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu2342343, stop the profanity .... NOW | 11:48 |
| Ben64 | that language is not necessary | 11:48 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I used to be able to do it easily but now I have to study like crazy | 11:48 |
| ntsp | ubuntu2342343 with a fully automated installer, what else do you need? | 11:49 |
| lyze | ubuntu2342343, nah not difficult at all :) but here is the reason why you would use a different /home partition: 1. backup is easier. no need to reinstall something which is stored inside your /home partition. the other thing is that when you use for example a ssd as / partition then it gets sometimes quite full (with vms, steam and so on) so using a e.g. 1 TB hdd as /home solves this too | 11:49 |
| ubuntu2342343 | You're just trolling | 11:49 |
| lyze | and i dont see why the windows installer should be easier than the ubuntu one. heck the ubuntu installer is way easier then the windows one | 11:50 |
| Ben64 | results in a usable system too | 11:50 |
| ubuntu2342343 | For single boot both are easy | 11:50 |
| lyze | for multiboot - yeah you can't use the windows installer for that | 11:50 |
| lyze | actually you can but you need a linux live cd again to get the other one to work | 11:51 |
| ntsp | Is there a way to disable the video powerdown on server(aka console), its getting annoying | 11:51 |
| lyze | the other way around it works just fine | 11:51 |
| ntsp | tried consoleblanking=0 as bootcommand still the same | 11:51 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I really worry for the ordinary people in my area, the kind of people who are struggling to figure out ipads. There's no way they could figure out all this efi stuff. | 11:51 |
| lyze | so thats efi not linux ;) | 11:52 |
| lyze | efi just fcks with everyone | 11:52 |
| lyze | sorry for the f word QQ | 11:52 |
| ubuntu2342343 | yeah so it's not linux but it's a barrier to linux | 11:52 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu2342343: its windows that is limiting in here. if you compare you wan tto install a dualboot where you install windows afterwards you dont have choices to make at all. so lets stop ranting what doesnt work and see how to solve the issue | 11:52 |
| lyze | yep | 11:52 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu2342343: because the time you rant in here you could already be installing | 11:52 |
| cfhowlett | ubuntu2342343, and yet more and more people are adopting linux so your point is refuted by the evidence. Please continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic or stick to the channel topic here; technical support. | 11:53 |
| ubuntu2342343 | cfhowlett, OK. I'm just being me, I'm not trying to cause any problems. | 11:54 |
| lyze | ^^ | 11:54 |
| ubuntu2342343 | I found the info I needed anyway, thanks for the help. | 11:54 |

| === _krokus is now known as krokus | ||
| freeroute | and here I am thinking I would be safe to upgrade to 14.04 - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2ybiu8/next_release_of_chromium_to_drop_support_for/ | 11:59 |
| Ben64 | freeroute: i don't see how that affects anything? | 12:00 |
| === arun is now known as arunpyasi | ||
| freeroute | Ben64: that means 14.04 users would have to run outdated versions of Chromium, unless maintainers are so kind to backport the tsync feature, or otherwise Chromium developers put in more effort. | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: did you file a bug and get a statement from the chromium package maintainers of what they will patch and what not? | 12:01 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: stop making panic!" | 12:02 |
| freeroute | (or users would have to upgrade the kernel and have limited support) | 12:02 |
| Ben64 | 14.04.2 has 3.16 kernel | 12:02 |
| theme2 | I cannot run the "knights" program for some chess engines | 12:02 |
| freeroute | k1l_: it's mostly discussed here - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2ybiu8/next_release_of_chromium_to_drop_support_for/cp7zvfp | 12:03 |
| theme2 | backtrace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10561706/ | 12:03 |
| theme2 | Can anybody help troubleshoot? | 12:03 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: come on , reddit? | 12:03 |
| freeroute | I don't think it's Ubuntu's fault though. | 12:03 |
| parades | join /xubuntu.fr | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: file a bug and use that to talk to the maintainers to get clear facts and not what some internet bloke on reddit might think that the world will break apart. | 12:04 |
| freeroute | k1l_: what's wrong with that? Lots of useful info, also those 2 links go to google bugtracker and hackernews. | 12:04 |
| freeroute | but that bug tracker discusses that issue, they set it to WontFix, unless someone commits a patch themselves. | 12:04 |
| theme2 | Anybody help? | 12:05 |
| elichai2 | i want to test kernel version 3.19 to check if it will fix some of my problems | 12:05 |
| elichai2 | how can i do it? | 12:05 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: can you link it? the launchpad bug on that? or are you just guessing? | 12:05 |
| elichai2 | (without upgrading to vivid) | 12:05 |
| k1l_ | !mainline | elichai2 | 12:05 |
| ubottu | elichai2: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 12:05 |
| theme2 | The program crashes as soon as I make my move | 12:05 |
| Ben64 | #47 asargent@chromium.org \\\\ Ok, while it sounds like this is technically a regression, I'm going to mark this as Wontfix because there is a reasonable workaround of updating your kernel. | 12:06 |
| k1l_ | elichai2: and stop crossposting to several channels please | 12:06 |
| freeroute | k1l_: it's Chromium's bugtracker - https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=401655 - or are you not referring to that? | 12:06 |
| elichai2 | ok, sorry | 12:06 |

| freeroute | huh but I don't think it's a bug in Ubuntu | 12:07 |
| bekks | freeroute: Then why are you making a fuzz in here? :) | 12:07 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: so then you are making noise in here for nothing? | 12:07 |
| venu | somebody help me | 12:07 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: please use #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux for non ubuntu related chat. | 12:07 |
| freeroute | I just wanted to point out that Chromium devs decided not to patch Chromium on older kernels | 12:07 |
| Ben64 | venu: you need to explain your problem | 12:07 |
| venu | when i install custom icons downloaded from gnome-look only the icons in cairo dock is updated where as the new icons dont appear in file manager | 12:08 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: thanks for spoiling the tehcnical support channel and stealing the time from volunteer supporters who could have helped other ubuntu users with real issues. thanks :( | 12:08 |
| freeroute | k1l_: and possibly gather info on what maintainers' thoughts was on this. AFAIK this is also Ubuntu related. | 12:08 |
| freeroute | if maintainers would decide to backport the tsync feature to LTS kernel that would be most ideal IMO | 12:09 |
| venu | Ben64... u ter | 12:09 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: file a ubuntu bug. | 12:09 |
| bekks | freeroute: you did not read the LTS kernel timeline, did you? | 12:09 |
| wesley9946 | hi there, i got VGA and DVI on both screen and laptop, but only VGA is being detected, any solutions? | 12:09 |
| freeroute | bekks: yes I did, so do backports of some necessary feature never happen? | 12:10 |
| bekks | freeroute: You obviously did not understand the timeline then. | 12:10 |
| freeroute | that perhaps | 12:11 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: your question es even answered in your reddit link. but you did not even read that. so please come back here if you read your own links | 12:11 |
| venu | any1 ter? | 12:11 |
| bekks | freeroute: So please stop making a fuzz out of something you did not even understand. | 12:11 |
| freeroute | bekks: you mean upgrading to a 3.16 kernel? That would mean limited support in comparison to the LTS kernel would it not? | 12:12 |
| hio | guys ubuntu is constantly broken for me, how do i prevent auto updating from ruining my nvidia drivers i installed from binary?? | 12:12 |
| k1l_ | hio: that is the disadvantage of using the binary blops from the website | 12:13 |
| wesley9946 | hi there, i got VGA and DVI on both screen and laptop, but only VGA is being detected, any solutions? video card driver is i915 | 12:13 |
| wesley9946 | cuz i got intel 945GM video card inside | 12:13 |
| hio | k11_ it's not just a disadvantage, it effectively breaks my boot every week or so | 12:13 |
| bekks | freeroute: I dont see any limitation there. | 12:13 |
| hio | all the built in drivers from ubuntu don't work, they don't enable resolution higher than 1920 | 12:14 |
| freeroute | bekks: also IIRC 3.16 kernel will also not work (Linux 3.16 kernels and earlier). So if I can speak to the kernel maintainers about putting the tsync feature in the LTS kernel by filing a bug report then I will. I just thought perhaps some maintainers were hanging around here as well. | 12:17 |
| wesley9946 | hi there, i got VGA and DVI on both screen and laptop, but only VGA is being detected, any solutions? video card driver is i915 | 12:18 |
| freeroute | I simply didn't know that filing bug reports were meant as a platform for engaging conversations and asking questions. (Also I couldn't derive that information from !bug) | 12:18 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: please read the reddit thread you linked to the end and read what not big deal a patch like that is, and that its alread in old ubuntu kernels. | 12:18 |
| Ben64 | freeroute: everyone says that 3.16 fixed it, so just upgrade to 3.16!!! you're making way too big of a deal of this | 12:18 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: so we can now stop this talk in here unless you get your facts right. | 12:18 |
| bekks | freeroute: you didnt even read the bugtracker link you posted yourself. | 12:18 |
| lyze | !repeat | wesley9946 | 12:20 |
| ubottu | wesley9946: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 12:20 |
| hay207 | hi guys , cpufreq is scaling back to perfermance after i change it, using 14.04 | 12:20 |
| freeroute | well I suppose I can upgrade to 3.16 but I simply don't want a limited 6 month support for the kernel, but then again that would not be a big issue I suppose. | 12:20 |
| k1l_ | freeroute: *sigh* | 12:21 |
| studio_ | i have a "small" problem with the default "system manager" under xfce. after playing with ubuntu touch now the default system manager is the one from ubuntu touch. how can i switch back to "xfce4-settings-manager" as default manager? | 12:21 |
| bekks | freeroute: At that point you should try reading the link I posted again. | 12:21 |
| freeroute | bekks: about the timeline? | 12:21 |
| freeroute | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack - ? | 12:21 |
| bekks | freeroute: Correct. | 12:21 |
| freeroute | ok well, in that case I'm sure I misread something. | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | studio_, that's ... an accomplishment:) you could delete the .xfce4 hidden folders. that'll reset everything xfce4 to default. *everything* | 12:22 |
| bekks | freeroute: After you did, you can safely continue this conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic | 12:22 |
| studio_ | cfhowlett, thanks :) will do | 12:22 |

| Christer | In your experience, any preferred VPS hosting service? Im currently testing out Amazon EC2, which seems great, especially when i can use the free tier stuff to test things out and experiment. But im a bit afraid of the unpredictable cost that might come when signing up. any experiences? I have also looked at Digital Ocean, but without making a purchase, it seems a bit "silly?" to not be able to buy most disk space, without having to upgrade every | 12:32 |
| Christer | thing on the VPS as well. | 12:32 |
| studio_ | back | 12:36 |
| studio_ | cfhowlett, that didn't fixed the problem. xfce4-settings-manager is still not the default settings-manager. any other idea? | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | studio_, wait 1 | 12:38 |
| cfhowlett | studio_, reboot? | 12:38 |

| studio_ | cfhowlett, what is the name for that setting-manager? | 12:52 |
| Sagar | cfhowlett: i am not root now what should i do? | 12:52 |
| cfhowlett | Sagar, sudo lsblk | 12:53 |
| Sagar | still nothing | 12:53 |
| cfhowlett | studio_, alacarte | 12:53 |

| cfhowlett | studio_, there's always the nuclear option; delete .ALL the .hidden files and folders your /home. logout, login and everything resets to first login | 12:55 |
| studio_ | no, it is not alacarte | 12:55 |
| cfhowlett | studio_, in xubuntu? certainly is. | 12:55 |
| Sagar | ? | 12:56 |
| Ben64 | Sagar: what is the output of "free -h" please pastebin | 12:56 |

| Ben64 | ah that explains stuff | 12:58 |
| === arya is now known as bipul | ||
| Sagar | what's wrong with the vps? | 12:59 |
| k1l_ | its not using real hardware. | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | well its telling ubuntu it has 8TB of ram, you have no swap, and lsblk shows nothing | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | Sagar, 1. unsupported OLD version of ubuntu | 12:59 |
| k1l_ | so you got some shared ram there? is it the burst thing? | 12:59 |
| Ben64 | so "what's wrong with the vps" = a lot | 13:00 |
| Sagar | what should i do now? | 13:00 |
| Ben64 | contact your host to see if they can fix that | 13:00 |
| Sagar | ok | 13:00 |
| k1l_ | most times its the vps users using the shared ram as fulltime and when the host limits the shared ram the processes start to be killed | 13:01 |
| Sagar | one thing also | 13:01 |
| Sagar | i have the latest version of ubuntu | 13:02 |
| cfhowlett | Sagar, 8.04 is NOT the latest version | 13:02 |
| k1l_ | cfhowlett: its 14.04 | 13:02 |

| b10s | should i install some extra or it is came from "box"? | 14:04 |

| RudeViper | BluesKaj, I'm transfering from a 1tb drive to several smaller ones so that I can reformat it to ntfs which is what the rest are formatted to | 14:52 |
| tim_ | Am I also the only one have a problem with right clicking on anything? It's intermittent and I can't reproduce, but very often when I right click something to get a context menu, it dissappears instantly, or worse, somehow automatically chooses something for me (like opening a file I clicked on), then vanishes. I suspect some theme setting may have done this, but I get it both in Unity 14.04 and in GNOME 3.12 in 14.10 ... | 14:52 |
| tim_ | After 4-5 tries it finally "stays" so I can use it ... very frustrating ... | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | RudeViper, right , unfortunately NTFS is the only practical option on a mixed OS network | 14:53 |
| RudeViper | I've cobbled together a file/game server from old parts for here at home.... Took five days to get the hardware issues straightened out - now just getting it set up... | 14:53 |

| === bruno is now known as Guest76587 | ||
| BluesKaj | RudeViper, ZFS , rather exotic , but i have no idea if it's worth the trouble | 14:55 |
| tim_ | RudeViper, why NTFS? is there some reason you can't use samba for this? Or another network filesystem? I mean, why not do it over the network if ntfs is such a hassle ... | 14:56 |
| RudeViper | actually it isn't a hassle - just transferring files is - and I'm using ntfs for stability.... | 14:57 |
| tim_ | RudeViper, stability? as opposed to what? FAT? | 14:57 |
| tim_ | the ext driver for windows is even slower :-/ | 14:58 |
| BluesKaj | ext > <windows transfers are much slower than ntfs in my experience | 15:01 |

| Guest92386 | is there anyone who can guide i need to know whether there is any possibility to retrieve data from this error such as "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda8, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so | 15:44 |
| Guest92386 | my laptop is not booting and i am running livecd | 15:44 |
| Guest92386 | and have tried to see this partition | 15:44 |
| ObrienDave | sounds like a drive failure, not 100% sure | 15:45 |
| I-am-Groot | Still Having the problem | 15:45 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools" please | 15:45 |
| I-am-Groot | And upon selecting the default theme, the bordes have become even bigger | 15:45 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: after the above, run "sudo smarctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit" | 15:45 |
| cxdvty | How much change do we expect to see in ubuntu 15.04 lts? | 15:45 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: chat in #ubuntu+1 please | 15:45 |
| daftykins | as that version is not out yet | 15:46 |
| Guest92386 | yes doing | 15:46 |
| k1l_ | cxdvty: systemd as standard init. that is quite a lot. but alpha/beta talk goes best into #ubuntu+1 | 15:46 |

| I-am-Groot | Hmmm | 15:46 |

| Guest92386 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562780 | 15:48 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: ok that's not good, looks like your disk disappeared... "dmesg > ~/file" then "pastebinit ~/file" | 15:49 |
| Guest92386 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562787/ | 15:50 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: yep that is one very unhappy hard disk, do you have any very important data on there? | 15:51 |
| Guest92386 | yes that is why i want to knw whether there is any possibility to retrieve data | 15:51 |
| ObrienDave | better question, do you have backups? | 15:52 |
| cfhowlett | Guest92386, if there's anything on the disk you'd like to save, STOP reading and writing the the disk?! | 15:52 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: during this live session boot, have you made any attempt to mount or otherwise access the disk so far? | 15:52 |
| Guest92386 | yes tried few times | 15:52 |
| daftykins | Guest92386: ok, come back on a fresh boot to live session please | 15:53 |
| rvang | hey guys, asus zenbook UX305FA with fresh install here.. everything working perfect so far.. except for the brightness keys. Any thoughts? | 15:53 |
| Guest92386 | also ran few commands such as testdrive ext2fs fdisk etc. | 15:53 |
| Guest92386 | i am in live session now | 15:53 |
| daftykins | oh god. | 15:53 |
| daftykins | er, i mean oh tux. | 15:53 |
| daftykins | yes but i want you to power off, wait a minute, then boot up to live session again | 15:54 |
| ObrienDave | in tux we trust ;p | 15:54 |
| daftykins | because the disk has disappeared | 15:54 |
| cfhowlett | daftykins, I was informed in this channel that god = RMS | 15:54 |
| Guest92386 | ok | 15:54 |
| daftykins | cfhowlett: XD | 15:54 |
| Guest92386 | fine | 15:54 |
| Guest92386 | i will come back then | 15:54 |
| Guest92386 | pl give help | 15:54 |
| ObrienDave | we'll be here | 15:54 |
| daftykins | pretty sure this is going to be a no-go, and send off to a data recovery company | 15:54 |
| daftykins | this one looks the worst shape i've ever seen, in here | 15:55 |
| ObrienDave | yea, seriously a bad situation, sure hope he has recent backups | 15:55 |
| ObrienDave | can anyone help I-am-Groot with his window border issue? | 15:56 |
| daftykins | rvang: there are some kernel boot parameter additions like "backlight=vendor" or something along those lines that can be added to make such situations work, have you tried googling for your laptop model + backlight to find any to try? | 15:56 |
| rvang | Is there a clean way to assign multimedia keys manually? | 15:56 |
| I-am-Groot | Yea, Someone?? | 15:56 |
| I-am-Groot | Its annoying | 15:57 |
| clmclm | hello. does kworker handle usb inputs like mouse, keyboard? | 15:57 |
| rvang | daftykins: yep, i tried those, both backlight & os settings. Also the "intel driver fix" | 15:57 |
| rvang | I'd be okay be using a simple script to change my brightness.. I can change it by changing the settings in the class/backlight/intel dir | 15:57 |
| daftykins | oh dear, you didn't install intel drivers from their site did you? | 15:58 |
| rvang | But is there a clean way to attach such a script to the keys? without installing to much crap :P | 15:58 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, xbindeys maybe | 15:58 |
| rvang | nope, I just did the clean ubuntu install yesterday | 15:58 |
| EriC^^ | *xbindkeys | 15:58 |
| katano | Is a little bit out of topic but it's more a syntax question. I plan to run setxkbmap automaticaly. I taught about lighdm. Is it correct to do so : greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/setxkbmap fr in usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf? | 15:58 |
| rvang | And tried all fixes I could find related to ubuntu 14.04, intel drivers and asus zenbook in general | 15:59 |
| katano | And Is is better to put setxkbmap in sr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf or in /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc? | 15:59 |
| rvang | My last hope is then someone here has had the same problems, or similair anyway | 15:59 |
| rvang | Thanks EriC^^ I'll check it out | 15:59 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, you might be able to use the keyboard shortcuts in settings > keyboard | 16:00 |
| rvang | I thought about that too EriC^^ , but sadly it doesnt recognize my fn keys | 16:00 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 16:01 |
| daftykins | so it things the function key is the same press as the Fn + function key? | 16:01 |
| daftykins | *thinks | 16:01 |
| rvang | Uhh I dont get that question daftykins | 16:01 |
| daftykins | nevermind then | 16:02 |
| rvang | When i press fn + f5 for example, it just doesnt "catch" it in the keyboard settings | 16:02 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, does xev catch it? | 16:02 |
| rvang | good point | 16:02 |
| rvang | let me check | 16:02 |
| rvang | Actually it doesn't | 16:03 |
| rvang | What does that mean? :o | 16:03 |
| saa | yes i am back in livecd | 16:04 |
| === saa is now known as Guest62819 | ||
| daftykins | Guest62819: HDD issue guest? ok same as before, "sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" | 16:05 |
| Guest62819 | yep | 16:05 |
| daftykins | don't make any attempt to access the disk | 16:05 |
| Guest62819 | shall i install that again and paste here | 16:05 |
| Guest62819 | ok | 16:05 |
| rvang | I guess i'll just have to assign other keys to fix this. thanks EriC^^ and daftykins | 16:05 |
| rvang | I got another small issue btw.. when i switch virtual desktops.. sometimes my text (terminal, panels) is gone .. re-appears when i start typing | 16:06 |
| I-am-Groot | I also have an intel 3000 vga | 16:07 |
| I-am-Groot | this is what ubuntu shows.. Intel® Sandybridge Mobile x86/MMX/SSE2 | 16:07 |
| daftykins | I-am-Groot: does your guest session work ok? | 16:07 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, xbindkeys might work | 16:07 |
| I-am-Groot | My guest session also has the bars | 16:08 |
| I-am-Groot | borders* | 16:08 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, this might help http://askubuntu.com/questions/207568/every-function-key-on-laptop-works-except-for-brightness | 16:08 |
| Guest62819 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562888 | 16:08 |
| rvang | EriC^^: even when xev doesnt recognize the keys? | 16:08 |
| Guest62819 | same error | 16:08 |
| EriC^^ | rvang, yeah, xbindkeys -mk might pick it up | 16:09 |
| I-am-Groot | I tried using intel Graphics updater but it gives an error saying that some keys do not match bla bla and the it quits | 16:09 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, Guest62819, sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit | 16:09 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: ok another "dmesg > file && pastebinit file" | 16:09 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: there is no sda :( | 16:09 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, you missed the middle t ;P | 16:09 |
| I-am-Groot | If there was a way to downgrade to a previous version of intel vga driver? | 16:09 |
| Guest62819 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562901/ | 16:10 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: when? | 16:10 |
| ObrienDave | initial command 1st time :) | 16:10 |
| daftykins | ah yes | 16:10 |
| daftykins | not sure it made any odds | 16:11 |
| daftykins | oh apparently it did | 16:11 |
| ObrienDave | sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb | pastebinit | 16:11 |
| Guest62819 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562906/ | 16:11 |
| daftykins | so it's just parted that can't read the disk | 16:11 |
| I-am-Groot | All the search results i find on google are related to Nvidia drivers | 16:11 |
| Guest62819 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562913/ | 16:12 |
| daftykins | wow, insane command timeouts | 16:12 |
| daftykins | but no reallocations or pending reallocations | 16:12 |
| daftykins | i don't think anything can be done here | 16:12 |
| ObrienDave | agrees | 16:12 |
| Guest62819 | so i wont get any data | 16:13 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: there's nothing that can be done in software, if you want the data you're going to need to take the drive to a data recovery professional | 16:13 |
| daftykins | don't attempt to run any other commands or disk checks or anything, that thing is toast right now | 16:13 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: good spot on my typo :D | 16:13 |
| Guest62819 | ok | 16:13 |
| I-am-Groot | I even cleared my .cache folder | 16:13 |
| Guest62819 | just a query | 16:14 |
| Guest62819 | i was showing installation of linux to my students | 16:14 |
| Guest62819 | while showing installation i went ahead till login details tobe added | 16:14 |
| cfhowlett | I-am-Groot, get it from the intel download site and install | 16:14 |
| Guest62819 | and then i cancelled to installation screen | 16:14 |
| Guest62819 | and my laptop didnot boot | 16:14 |
| Guest62819 | then somebody ran testdrive and he could get sda8 and other partitions | 16:15 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: of ubuntu on this physical machine? so it would've already begun file copy by that point if i understand you | 16:15 |
| Guest62819 | yes on same machine i tried showing until installation and then cancelled installation hoping that nothing would go wrong | 16:16 |
| I-am-Groot | cfhowlett: Are u referring to the intel Graphics installer?? | 16:16 |
| ObrienDave | Guest62819, a good smartctl should look like this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10562934/ | 16:16 |
| I-am-Groot | i have it, but it wont install the Graphics drivers | 16:17 |
| I-am-Groot | it errors out | 16:17 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: use VMs in future ;) | 16:17 |
| Guest62819 | hmm | 16:17 |
| daftykins | I-am-Groot: never try to install intel drivers, total waste of time | 16:17 |
| Guest62819 | anyway nw no hopes | 16:17 |
| cfhowlett | Guest62819, you *cancelled* the installation? but why? anyway, NEXT time: install virtualbox to windows, install linux to virtualbox. | 16:17 |
| Guest62819 | i had lot of data | 16:18 |
| Guest62819 | i am more disturbed nw | 16:18 |
| Guest62819 | but as said nothing can be done hence left all hopes | 16:18 |
| Guest62819 | it was a big lesson nw | 16:18 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: yeah, i'd power off and remove that drive | 16:18 |
| I-am-Groot | ookay | 16:19 |
| I-am-Groot | As i said, i already reinstalled unity but it didnt work | 16:19 |
| daftykins | I-am-Groot: well if you want it working today, at this stage it sounds like a mess so maybe backup your /home and reinstall | 16:20 |
| daftykins | depends how much time you want to kill | 16:20 |
| I-am-Groot | hmmm | 16:20 |
| Guest62819 | ok tx daftykins i will nw reinstall os as i have no option left nw | 16:20 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: on the same drive? | 16:21 |
| daftykins | pretty sure the disk is faulty | 16:21 |
| Guest62819 | is it | 16:21 |
| Guest62819 | oh | 16:21 |
| I-am-Groot | daftykins: is there a way backup my apps too? | 16:21 |
| daftykins | I-am-Groot: you can't have that many surely | 16:21 |
| Guest62819 | its my laptop | 16:22 |
| Guest62819 | i need to try | 16:22 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: so you definitely don't care about any data on there anymore? | 16:23 |
| Guest62819 | no i do want my data | 16:23 |
| ObrienDave | i would recommend getting new drive | 16:23 |
| I-am-Groot | daftykins: the problem also appears when i boot into gnome desktop environment(if thats what its called) | 16:23 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: yeah, don't do anything further on that disk. | 16:24 |
| Guest62819 | ok so i need to give it outside for retrieving data | 16:24 |
| Guest62819 | and add new harddrive | 16:24 |
| daftykins | yep | 16:25 |
| daftykins | Guest62819: maybe consider moving up in the world to SSD too ;) | 16:25 |
| Guest62819 | ok tx wil do that | 16:26 |
| Lunatic | join #ubuntu-fr | 16:28 |
| daftykins | add a / at the start ;) | 16:28 |

| onehour | daftykins: yes, these are different computers. I am transfer the files with a usb drive. | 16:30 |
| rvang | EriC^^: xbindkeys also doesn't recognize the fn combo for brightness. No problem, I assigned with settings->keyboard shortcuts the xbacklight up and down to ctrl shift f5/f6 .. Not the prettiest solution but it works.. thanks again for the advise :) | 16:30 |
| hecatae | one set to summertime one not? | 16:31 |
| onehour | both say 12:31 DST. | 16:31 |

| EriC^^ | rvang, cool, no problem, if you want you could use super+f5/f6, anyways glad you got it sorted out | 16:32 |
| onehour | fir instance, OSX is saying "Sun Mar 8 12:31:52 EDT 2015" when I use "date" | 16:32 |

| vlt | Hello. What tool can I use to "rsync" files from an NTFS file system. I’m looking for something that will only transfer differences (like it does for ext) but includes all the NTFS properties (like ntfs-clone does for the whole fs). Any idea? | 16:52 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: hmm, when i "nslookup security.ubuntu.com" i get many different IPs, perhaps the one ending .24 doesn't work for you but others do? | 16:53 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: actually i see that time it went to .201, hmm - it's possible they're blocking it somehow, what do you see in your browser when you try to visit... http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/binary-amd64/ ? | 16:54 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : I use Google DNS. Should I hardcode the IP of security.ubuntu.com in /etc/hosts ? | 16:54 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : Of course not the .24 one | 16:55 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : I see it all right. | 16:56 |
| skinux | What is the best GUI Screen Recorder? | 16:56 |
| ObrienDave | !best | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | skinux, not sure about the best, but recordmydesktop is ok | 16:56 |
| BluesKaj | vlt, does this fit your situation? http://askubuntu.com/questions/112863/rsync-not-working-between-ntfs-fat-and-ext | 16:56 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: try switching to openDNS | 16:56 |
| ima3k | daftykins, i know it happens sometimes but its annoying | 16:56 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: though i don't really see what's wrong :/ | 16:56 |
| * vlt reads. Thanks, BluesKaj | 16:57 | |
| daftykins | ima3k: yeah that's even more vague :) | 16:57 |
| ima3k | do you know how to fix this? | 16:58 |
| daftykins | not until you can describe what's happening to the channel in more detail | 16:58 |
| daftykins | try another mouse first too, perhaps | 16:58 |
| ima3k | ok i will try and write here back | 16:58 |
| Jef91 | I installed Ubuntu 14.04 from a miminal install disc and I can't get the system-config-printer-gnome tool to find my network printer. Any idea what package I might be missing? Network printers is just blank. Screenshot -> http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-54fc8014149bc5.84752120.png | 17:00 |
| daftykins | which desktop did you install? unity? | 17:01 |
| Jef91 | daftykins, using Enlightenment currently | 17:01 |
| vlt | BluesKaj: Not quite. Their target is FAT32 which lacks a lot of properties to check and has a weird timestamp rounding. My source is NTFS with features not supported by linux, afaik. | 17:01 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : I trying to hard code the IPs in /etc/hosts first and see what is going to happen and will try openDNS. Thanks for your idea. | 17:02 |
| daftykins | Jef91: is that from a PPA? | 17:02 |
| Jef91 | daftykins, I compiled Enlightenment from source. My desktop of choice is unrelated to the printer tool | 17:03 |
| hcht | This error how to solve? | 17:03 |
| hcht | W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntukylin.com:10006 trusty Release: because there is no public key signature cannot be verified, the following: NO_PUBKEY D259B7555E1D3C58 | 17:03 |
| daftykins | Jef91: well, had you been using a supported one i could've said "ah hey check you have all the packages by installing blah blah" but now i can't :) | 17:04 |
| Jef91 | daftykins, this tool is desktop independent? | 17:05 |
| Jef91 | It didn't have any Gnome dependencies listed or unity ect. | 17:05 |
| Jef91 | even though it has gnome in the name. | 17:05 |
| ObrienDave | hcht, sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D259B7555E1D3C58 | 17:05 |
| daftykins | fair enough. | 17:05 |
| Jef91 | Are using Ubuntu minimal installs not supported daftykins ? | 17:05 |
| daftykins | Jef91: that's not what i'm saying at all | 17:05 |
| ntsp | Anyone knows any gif programs (preferrably in the repos) | 17:06 |
| Jef91 | daftykins, just switched to unity and the system doesn't find the printer there either | 17:06 |
| Jef91 | So... Not Enlightenment related. | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | well, vlt , i use a NTFS outboard HDD for media files, but I just copy them over from the source | 17:06 |
| Jef91 | Same result | 17:06 |
| daftykins | well that depends how you installed unity, too :D | 17:06 |
| daftykins | but anyway, obviously this is out of my depth so i throw my hands up now | 17:06 |
| vlt | BluesKaj: I see. I need this more like a daily backup solution for a virtual machine on NTFS without having to clone the whole file system every night. | 17:08 |
| sarahLove | EriC^: Did you find a solution for my lightdm problem? I tried dpkg-reconfigure lightdm : didn't work. I tried also to purge lighdm and reinstall: didn't work too. | 17:09 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, you could check if any of your files are owned by root | 17:09 |
| sarahLove | How? | 17:09 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, sudo find ~ ! -user <your user> | 17:09 |
| EriC^^ | if anything comes up then it's owned by a user other than yours | 17:10 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : I tried both hard code and change to openDNS but none of them works :( | 17:11 |
| hcht | 0brienDave,the problem has been solved, thank you! | 17:11 |
| ObrienDave | hcht, np | 17:11 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: mmm, didn't hold out much hope. try backing up your sources.list by copying it to your /home, then make a replacement with http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 17:11 |
| sarahLove | EriC^^: With my username I have few results that begins with /root/ | 17:12 |
| hcht | 0brienDave,The problem has been solved, thank you | 17:12 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, hmm did you type find ~ ? or just find ? | 17:13 |
| sarahLove | EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10563277/ | 17:13 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, i think you typed find ! -user | 17:14 |

| sarahLove | EriC^^: no | 17:14 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : That's what I am scared of. I am a Debian guy and I don't understand much of main. universe, restricted, multiverse stuffs. | 17:14 |
| daftykins | jasonwhite: well substituting a text file is nothing to be scared of since it's reversible :P | 17:14 |
| dsol | After I installed xubuntu in ubuntu (and removed xubuntu again) I needed to login 2 times after a lock. It increased to 3 after a week. Now I need to login 5 times. Can anyone help me out? | 17:15 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, are you logged in as your user? | 17:15 |
| sarahLove | EriC^^: I think it was because I was root when I typed the command | 17:17 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, you could type sudo find /home/<your user> ! -user <your user> if you want | 17:17 |
| sarahLove | EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10563295/ | 17:17 |
| jasonwhite | daftykins : It's not what I meant... Anyway I'll do it. | 17:17 |

| cxdvty | 0brienDave: Instead of installing windows and dual booting ubuntu with it can I boot from windows live usb and dual boot that way? | 17:22 |

| hcht | 0brienDave,Nice to meet you, in xchat, actually, IRC can add friends? | 17:24 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: what do you mean 'boot from Windows live USB' ? there's no such official thing, you can only install from Windows flash drives | 17:25 |
| cxdvty | thats what i meand d; | 17:25 |
| daftykins | which? | 17:26 |
| sarahLove_ | EriC^: your command solved the problem I can now connect into my account but I have more problems now | 17:26 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, i think he wants to install windows to flash and be able to boot into ubuntu also | 17:26 |
| daftykins | install Windows to a flash drive? oh dear | 17:26 |
| hcht | 0brienDave,I am a beginner Linux, most people in the Chinese with windows. You are in that country? | 17:27 |

| hcht | 0brienDave,What time do you there now? | 17:28 |
| sarahLove_ | I just changed my keyboard configuration what is this system I don't understand | 17:28 |
| EriC^^ | if the guest account works, it's probably a config issue | 17:29 |
| EriC^^ | try the guest account first and work from there | 17:29 |
| hcht | 0brienDave,Are you a programmer, or engineer? | 17:29 |

| prodigel | hey all. Chromium is crashing frequently since a few months at least. I was wondering if you have the same problem, and found a magic bullet for it. Using ubuntu 14.10/awesomewm. | 17:30 |
| sarahLove | EriC^: guest account works perfectly | 17:30 |
| sarahLove | Even before when I had the lightdm problem it worked | 17:31 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, ok, then it's probably a saved session | 17:31 |
| daftykins | muculus: is this debian? | 17:31 |
| EriC^^ | sarahLove, ok, i think ObrienDave uses xfce if i'm not mistaken, maybe he can tell you where the saved sessions are stored? | 17:32 |
| EriC^^ | ObrienDave, if you dont mind.. please help sarahLove | 17:32 |
| muculus | daftykins: no, ubuntu 14.04 server | 17:32 |
| sarahLove | I'll never change my keyboard configuration again omg | 17:33 |
| ObrienDave | EriC^^, sarahLove let me ask unit193, he showed me how to fix this i think | 17:33 |
| hcht | 0brienDave,I use the Linux office, you? | 17:33 |
| EriC^^ | ok, thanks | 17:33 |
| sarahLove | ObrienDave: thanks | 17:33 |

| larebeck | How do I setup the latest CUPS in Ubuntu 14.04 64bit.... ppa? | 17:44 |
| bekks | You dont need to. | 17:45 |
| bekks | They work out of the box. | 17:45 |
| kastan | hey I am missing the wireless router on my ubuntu device i had it before my update im not sure what happened to it | 17:45 |
| larebeck | bekks, the one in the software center is old | 17:45 |
| bekks | CUPS, not CPUS - ok :) | 17:45 |
| asdasasijdiaopds | Why does pidgin not display colorized messages according to plugin - conversation colors? | 17:45 |
| sarahLove | ObrienDave: problem solved I did a rm -R ~/.cache/sessions/ | 17:45 |
| bekks | larebeck: Why do you need a newer one, particularly? | 17:45 |
| ObrienDave | sarahLove, \o/ | 17:45 |
| sarahLove | EriC^: problem solved thank you | 17:45 |
| kastan | wireless drivers** | 17:45 |
| larebeck | the one in the software center is 1.7.2 ish, bekks the latest is 2.0.2 | 17:45 |
| bekks | larebeck: Why do you need a newer one, particularly? | 17:45 |
| sarahLove | ObrienDave: thank you man | 17:46 |
| matthew45 | pidgin is junk not worth it. | 17:46 |
| larebeck | bekks, I have a Lexmark Previal Pro705 that isn't working | 17:46 |

| gvt100 | ech.. | 17:46 |
| larebeck | bekks, that is why I'm trying to install the latest CUPS | 17:46 |
| gvt100 | anyone here use emacs? | 17:46 |
| NegativeFlare | gvt100: plenty | 17:47 |
| bekks | larebeck: Do you know that it is working with a newer version, or is that just a wild guess? :) | 17:47 |
| kastan | my wireless driver stopped working all of a sudden any ideas on how to fix at the moment im connected to the router via Ethernet cable | 17:47 |
| ObrienDave | sarahLove, my pleasure | 17:47 |
| larebeck | bekks, wild guess at this point | 17:48 |
| gvt100 | okay.. im new to emacs.. im installing python-django.el and such, having found it on django-project's emacs page | 17:48 |
| gvt100 | im wondering about web-mode and django-mode.. | 17:48 |
| bekks | larebeck: Well, my wild guess (searching on google for 1 minute) revealed that a newer CUPS wont help, but instead you need the pretty old drivers from Lexmark. | 17:48 |
| larebeck | maybe I asked google the wrong question on that one bekks | 17:49 |
| larebeck | bekks, I tried the ones from lexmark site and it doesn't seem to work | 17:49 |

| larebeck | let me try that bekks thanks | 17:50 |
| kastan | ive done some googleing with no luck do you guys have any sugestions? | 17:52 |
| kastan | suggestions* | 17:52 |
| larebeck | bekks, I have already installed the .deb it was talkinga bout | 17:54 |
| bekks | larebeck: And did you fix the permissions as the link suggests? | 17:54 |
| larebeck | but I don't know hwo to change those permissions | 17:54 |
| larebeck | 777? 655J? | 17:55 |
| xavier_ | helo | 17:55 |
| bekks | larebeck: Take a look at the link, the permissions are stated there. | 17:55 |
| larebeck | bekks, I have done those and looked back at the ls... my perms still show the same | 17:56 |
| bekks | larebeck: you have done "those"? | 17:56 |
| larebeck | bekks, http://www.pasteall.org/57133 | 17:57 |
| gvt100 | NegativeFlare, if your are still here.. as i said, new to emacs.. im at https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Emacs.. and have python-django.el installed and django-mode and django-html-mode.. im wondering if anything else would be useful.. do you use nXhtml/django-html=mumamo-mode and or web-mode? | 17:57 |
| bekks | larebeck: you changed ownerships, not permissions. And you wildly just shot at ownerships, using chown -rR | 17:58 |
| larebeck | I did what that page said | 17:59 |
| bekks | larebeck: And looking into two different directories will show different results. | 17:59 |
| bekks | larebeck: you did follow the post stating "I have a problem" - but you did not follow the answer. | 18:00 |
| larebeck | bekks, those are the same directory | 18:02 |
| bekks | larebeck: So read the answer in that post carefully and see the fixed permissions and ownerships there. | 18:02 |
| larebeck | did you not see the code I showed you bekk | 18:03 |
| kastan | thank you guys for all you help i found the answer at askubuntu.com | 18:04 |
| bekks | larebeck: I did, but you did not notice the different permissions/owenships between the link and the paste of your system. | 18:06 |
| larebeck | i pasted what was on the page, if it was wrong, I don't know enough to fix it | 18:07 |
| bekks | larebeck: Just compare your ls -lha and the ls -lha from the link. You'll see the different ownerships. | 18:08 |
| UbuntuNoob | how do i run machine code from a hex editor on ubuntu | 18:09 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: you dont :) What are you actually trying to do? | 18:09 |
| UbuntuNoob | i made a tiny program on a hex editor so is it possible to run on ubuntu | 18:10 |
| UbuntuNoob | or this stuff is for ms-dos | 18:10 |
| UbuntuNoob | bare metal programming | 18:10 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: for which platform, and which OS? | 18:10 |
| bynarie | UbuntuNoob, u need a bare metal compiler | 18:10 |
| UbuntuNoob | i don't know, it's just pure CPU code like assembly | 18:11 |
| UbuntuNoob | perhaps there's a way to run it on bios | 18:11 |
| bekks | Nope. | 18:11 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: Which OS are you coding for? | 18:12 |
| bynarie | UbuntuNoob, are u being serious or are you just kidding?? | 18:12 |
| UbuntuNoob | i mean put the machine code program on a floppy disk and load the floppy disk on bios and run it | 18:12 |
| OerHeks | !build | 18:12 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 18:12 |
| UbuntuNoob | no OS, it's machine code | 18:12 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: you dont load things in BIOS. | 18:12 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: Do you know that you need an OS to execute code? | 18:12 |
| Stary2001 | technically you dont | 18:13 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: you need something that actually runs your code. | 18:13 |
| bekks | Stary2001: I doubt he is coding a bootloader. | 18:13 |
| Stary2001 | true :p | 18:13 |
| Stary2001 | i wrote a tiny real-mode bootsector | 18:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | people have made programs that run directly on the computer, as in bare metal programming | 18:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | and | 18:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | old computer didn't have OS, you put the machine code directly in the cpu, like punch cards | 18:13 |
| bynarie | UbuntuNoob, binutils-arm-none-eabi maybe | 18:13 |
| UbuntuNoob | i suggest you read about MikeOS | 18:14 |
| dasjoe | bekks: I doubt he's coding in numerical machine code, then promptly forgetting how to run this stuff | 18:14 |
| Stary2001 | haha | 18:14 |
| Stary2001 | UbuntuNoob: first you need a boot sector, i assume you already have something that loads your code | 18:14 |
| UbuntuNoob | well it's better to use MS-DOS than ubuntu for experimenting with assembly, i'd think | 18:14 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: That assumption is horribly wrong :) | 18:15 |
| UbuntuNoob | 7C 05 FF 20 FB | 18:15 |
| UbuntuNoob | it's supposed to make the lower right corner of your screen flash if you run it | 18:15 |
| Stary2001 | sounds like a dos thing :p | 18:15 |
| UbuntuNoob | i put that in a hex editor now how do i run it | 18:16 |
| Stary2001 | well uh | 18:16 |
| Stary2001 | you dont | 18:16 |
| bekks | Being in a specific graphics mode, which requires something that actually makes your computer being in that mode. | 18:16 |
| bekks | Like MSDOS. | 18:16 |
| Stary2001 | ^ | 18:16 |
| bekks | So thats OS specific code, not OS independent code. | 18:16 |

| UbuntuNoob | well time to get MS-DOS | 18:18 |
| UbuntuNoob | seems to be much better for experimenting with assembly cause of the debug command | 18:18 |
| ablest1980 | why not term? | 18:18 |
| bekks | UbuntuNoob: MSDOS is much better for MSDOS-specific coding, as you presumably do. | 18:19 |
| bekks | ablest1980: "term" is an application most likely, while he refers to an operating system. | 18:19 |
| UbuntuNoob | well are there any guides to get started on ubuntu NASM assembly? | 18:19 |
| ablest1980 | is bash what i mean? | 18:19 |

| groot5 | Nah, Windows is awful, but excel is still strong. If 365 is web based it could avoid the use of wine, which would be ideal | 18:26 |
| bekks | groot5: you can just avoid the use of Office 365. | 18:26 |
| ObrienDave | groot5, try LibreOffice. reads and writes MS office files | 18:26 |
| jhutchins | groot5: Spreadsheets are spreadsheets. | 18:26 |
| ObrienDave | there are Excel specific functions that LO does not have | 18:27 |
| ObrienDave | but they are so rare that you can do 98% of Excel work in Calc | 18:28 |
| groot5 | Yeah, I don't want to belabor the point or troll this IRC but have been using LibreOffice for years. I love it, but sad fact is it doesn't dominate office suite the way Linux os dominates Windows (yet) | 18:28 |
| gvt100 | hey _troll in my limited eperience you either want to code a bootstrap program to run your code without an os, or use something simple like dos.. but that is just the short answer | 18:32 |
| gvt100 | _troll unless you actually plan on coding in assmebly for a specific version of linux or something your code wont necessarily be portable.. at that point, if you've decided you want more functionality or a different os that dos, maybe look into osdevelopment.. and some of the work already started for you to use.. | 18:34 |
| groot5 | man, just got chastised by my wife for considering putting money toward a system that deliberately obfuscates filetypes. I have been suitably chastened. Sorry guys for raising it, this guy is still a dedicated Linux user | 18:35 |
| gvt100 | _troll: it would be simplest to start with dos coding, then start with a boot loader, then get into os dev.. if you want, you could do most, or im assuming all, of this within some sort of virtualware.. | 18:35 |
| groot5 | back to LibreOffice for me :) | 18:35 |

| Guest49226 | I have an issue I can't seem to figure out. Im trying to duplicate every file in a directory while apending a character to the name. The character does not matter so lets say it is 1. I want to copy every file in a directory so lets say foo.ext copys to foo1.ext and bar.ext copys to bar1.ext. Is there a fesable way to do this from command line? I know this is a bit more straight linux related | 19:44 |
| Guest49226 | but ubuntu is what I use so I guess it applies. TLDR I want to duplicate all files in a directory and add any random character to the duplicates filename so both files exists in the same directory. | 19:44 |
| gvt100 | im experiencing random crashes.. GRUB lists no memory test/memtest86+ to run.. im trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash as a start to figure out why my system is crashing.. | 19:45 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| gvt100 | my crash does not lock the system, but restarts it with no warning.. the most warning i get is if im listening to music it start skipping for a second or so before it restarts.. otherwise it just restarts | 19:48 |
| gvt100 | guest49226 im guessing an easy way to do that would be with a shell script.. | 19:49 |
| qu4nt1n | !s interstellar | 19:49 |
| jhutchins | Guest49226: what might be more practical is to copy the files, then use rename to batch rename them. | 19:51 |
| htqp | Guest49226: for i in * ; do cp "$i" "$i.randomcharacters" ; done | 19:51 |
| htqp | but you may want to state the real goal, as I see no use for copying to the same directry | 19:52 |
| jhutchins | Guest49226: If this is some kind of backup you could compress them into an archive and not have to worry about the name. | 19:52 |
| jhutchins | htqp: Yeah, that would work. | 19:52 |
| EriC^^ | for i in * .*; do cp "$i" .. to copy hidden files too | 19:54 |
| stazich | hi, is anyone using Amazon Instant in Chrome or Chromium here? | 19:58 |
| Guest49226 | htqp the real goal is to literally have 2 copys of the same file in the same directory | 19:58 |
| jhutchins | Guest49226: Ah, same directory. | 19:58 |
| htqp | WHY do you want 2 copies in the same dir? | 19:58 |
| htqp | there may be more efficient or simpler alternatives if you state us the use case | 19:59 |
| Guest49226 | long story short it is for an m3u file. I have a ton of files and when it is on shuffle I want certian directories files to show up more. I have unlimited space so i want to copy those files so there are 2 instances of the same thing | 20:00 |
| === _d4rklit3 is now known as d4rkhome | ||
| Guest49226 | that way that file shows up more often in the m3u when shuffled | 20:00 |
| bekks | Guest49226: USe symlinks. | 20:00 |
| ima3k | i have a problem with my netbook i cant set 1366x768 and i have black bar on the right becouse only resolution i can set is 1280x800 | 20:00 |
| === d4rkhome is now known as _d4rklit3 | ||
| ima3k | someone can tell me what can i do ? | 20:01 |
| === _d4rklit3 is now known as d4rkhome | ||
| htqp | for i in * ; do ln "$i" "$i.randomcharacters" ; done | 20:01 |
| htqp | Guest49226: ^^^^ this will make files appear more often but way faster, without taking time to copy the real contents (and occupying negligible space) | 20:01 |
| ima3k | and its laptop which have default 1366x768 | 20:02 |
| htqp | note that ths will link the files - any alterations to the link file will alter the original also | 20:02 |
| htqp | so it's not a copy but a link | 20:02 |
| Guest49226 | htqp cool thats even better, the files will never be modified though | 20:02 |
| divyansh | Hi all, #ubuntu-programming is dead. Anyone interested in discussing a C++ container idea? | 20:02 |
| Guest49226 | only played | 20:02 |
| htqp | and I would ask in channel #vlc (or your favorite player) whether there's an option to mark files as "favorite" to show more often without this sort of hacks.. | 20:03 |
| htqp | maybe worth a wishlist report on launchpad.net | 20:04 |
| Guest49226 | htqp its a m3u that will be used across multiple oses and devices so i wont be able to solve it software side unfortunately | 20:04 |
| htqp | or edit the m3u (plain text file) to just copy the lines for the files in question | 20:06 |
| htqp | idk whether m3u file format allows for duplicate entries (or whether the sw will treat duplicate entries as one) but may be worth a check | 20:06 |
| Guest49226 | htqp the m3u will change dailiy (random shuffle automaticaly), but the content for that won't, so its best to just duplicate the file or link as you suggested | 20:07 |
| htqp | beks suggested so thank him/her :P | 20:07 |

| Guest49226 | so to be sure running "for i in * ; do ln "$i" "$i._1" ; done" from /foo/bar/foo.ext would create a link named "/foo/bar/foo_1.ext" to "/foo/bar/foo.ext" | 20:09 |

| Knight80 | I need to activate system bell for linux terminal, with custom sound... Is this possible? | 20:11 |
| odsent_ | can i have windows 8, ubuntu, and MS-DOS all on the same computer in 3 partitions? | 20:11 |
| Guest49226 | htqp yes i will be working in the directory in question only | 20:11 |
| htqp | Guest49226: changing the filename in the middle requires more advanced syntax, I'm not going to take time with that, feel free to ask in channel #bash | 20:12 |
| odsent_ | i used partition editor to make an unused fat32 partition for MS-DOS | 20:12 |
| odsent_ | is that possible | 20:13 |
| Lunatic | Knight80> You need to change the .ogg sound | 20:13 |
| htqp | but the extension is irrelevant to Linux, Linux only checks the contents in the file, so an audio file can have any extension or even no ext at all | 20:13 |

| Knight80 | Lunatic Thank you very much | 20:14 |
| Guest49226 | htqp thanks for you help man im already in the right direction. lets say I just append to the file extension. can i then just batch rename the files created later while keeping the link to the origional file? | 20:14 |
| Lunatic | Knight80> There is a file named desktop-login.ogg | 20:14 |
| Knight80 | Lunatic Yes | 20:14 |
| Lunatic | Knight80> Just replace this one by your file, it should do the trick | 20:15 |
| htqp | Guest49226: if you mean "does the link break if I rename the file", answer is no. Otherwise I don't know | 20:15 |
| Knight80 | Lunatic What I actually want to do is to make the linux terminal to play a sound whenever there's activity. | 20:15 |
| Lunatic | Knight80> You mean like following a log and play a sound whgen something happens? | 20:16 |
| Guest49226 | htqp yes that is what i was asking, but does the link break if either file name is modified? | 20:16 |
| Knight80 | Lunatic Yes, that's right. | 20:16 |
| htqp | Guest49226: no, this is "hard link" which links the file not the path (you can rename or move to another directory in same partition, link will not break) | 20:17 |
| Lunatic | Knight80> Oh god sorry I don't know how too do that, but I think you can do it with a parameter or something like this, ask the others | 20:17 |
| Guest49226 | htqp cool I think my problem is solved then, i will test it out. Thank you so much! | 20:18 |
| htqp | Guest49226: for the sake of argument, if hypotetically you used symbolic links (parameter -s to ln) then it would rather link to the filename, which would mean "link would break by renaming original file" | 20:18 |
| htqp | Guest49226: you're welcome | 20:18 |

| Guest49226 | dang is there just no way to copy all files while not overwriting the origional, somethin glike how windows does? | 20:24 |

| sentsont | SchrodingersScat: yea I changed the default tx fee in the bitcoin.conf file, but now I'm getting some new error | 20:51 |
| andrew321 | hello, I've installed (apt-get install) package "nauty" without problem on my Ubuntu 14.10 but I am having trouble on my Ubuntu 15.04 -- installation finishes but I get "program is currently not installed..." . Is there any way I can fix it and/or report it? | 20:52 |
| sentsont | as I understand it, the new version of Bitcoin needs to reindex the blockchain anyway, so I may as well start from scratch | 20:52 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for vivid support andrew321 | 20:52 |
| SchrodingersScat | sentsont: up to you | 20:52 |
| Guest40851 | andrew321: might want to run `find /usr/bin | grep <YOUR-PROGRAM-NAME>` see if the binary is there | 20:53 |
| bekks | andrew321: better use: find /bin /usr/bin -name nameofyourbinary | 20:54 |
| Guest40851 | bekks: sorry about my filthy pipes | 20:54 |
| htqp | or dpkg -L nauty and check in the output whether there is /usr/bin/nauty at all | 20:54 |
| MrSassyPants | Something is starting dnsmasq | 20:55 |
| MrSassyPants | I wish to learn what is launching dnsmasq so I can execute the two for high treason | 20:55 |
| SchrodingersScat | sentsont: that is ~32GB of data to redownload | 20:55 |
| sentsont | SchrodingersScat: true | 20:55 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: "for high treason"? What do you actually want to do? | 20:55 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, I don't want dnsmasq to launch on its own. | 20:55 |
| MrSassyPants | launching on its own is treasonous | 20:56 |
| MrSassyPants | treason must be punished | 20:56 |
| sentsont | so I'll work on upgrading some more | 20:56 |
| MrSassyPants | with death | 20:56 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: Thats nonsense, actually. | 20:56 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, what I want do do is share the wired internet connection on the wireless | 20:56 |
| MrSassyPants | expected result: shit works. what happens: shit doesn't work | 20:56 |
| MrSassyPants | shit halfway works. I think the problem is dnsmasq | 20:57 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: No need for that profane language. | 20:57 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: Read this first, after starting to behave: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq | 20:57 |
| MrSassyPants | I can't open vids on youtube, but I can open youtube and load the list | 20:57 |

| sentsont | anyone know where I can find the directory which contains the bitcoin binaries? | 21:03 |
| bazhang | sentsont, yes | 21:03 |
| bazhang | sentsont, why are you not getting the most up to date blockchain, instead of starting from scratch | 21:04 |
| sentsont | bazhang: that's what I want to do | 21:04 |
| sentsont | I've downloaded the most up-to-date client | 21:05 |
| bazhang | sentsont, also you should take this to thge bitcoin channels, this is not ubuntu specific at all | 21:05 |
| sentsont | bazhang: ok | 21:05 |
| Flannel | sentsont: if you have a binary called `foo` then the command `which foo` will give you the path to that binary. | 21:05 |
| sentsont | Flannel: thanks | 21:05 |

| _d4rklit3 | hi | 21:05 |
| _d4rklit3 | you guys know what user node.js uses? | 21:05 |
| _d4rklit3 | on ubunt | 21:05 |
| _d4rklit3 | u | 21:05 |
| bekks | _d4rklit3: the same requirements as on other platforms? :) | 21:06 |
| _d4rklit3 | www-data? | 21:06 |
| Myrtti | bazhang: you forgot the * | 21:06 |
| bazhang | Myrtti, no longer required | 21:06 |
| bekks | _d4rklit3: thats a user/group. | 21:06 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, ok, did not work | 21:07 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: what did not work? | 21:07 |
| Myrtti | wow, I've been out of touch for a few months and everything gets changed ;-) | 21:07 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, the dnsmasq thing you gave me to read | 21:07 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, well I guess it did work, but it did not fix the problem. | 21:07 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: Reading did not work? | 21:07 |
| _d4rklit3 | bekks, what do you mean. like apache uses www-data | 21:07 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, it contains a set of instructions | 21:07 |
| _d4rklit3 | what does node use? | 21:07 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, unfortunately nothing that pertains to my actual issue. | 21:08 |
| bekks | _d4rklit3: as long as your webserver runs it, it uses the user your webserver is running under. | 21:08 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: And what is the actual issue? | 21:08 |
| _d4rklit3 | well running grunt gives me perm errors | 21:08 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, the shared wireless doesn't share enough internets | 21:08 |
| _d4rklit3 | hmm its only for copying files | 21:08 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, I can open up youtube but the videos don't run. | 21:09 |
| Hulio | hi guys, i got the freak can't boot to window snow | 21:09 |
| Hulio | now* | 21:09 |
| Hulio | it said grub rescue | 21:09 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, I can open up the play store and select applications, but I can't download them. | 21:09 |
| Hulio | first it said can't find device ....with xxxx.xxx. some numbers | 21:09 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: Then how did you create that "shared wireless", how do you try to use it, what happens, what do you expect to happen, and which error messages do you get? | 21:09 |
| Hulio | then it stop at GRUB rescue | 21:09 |
| Hulio | can some one help me so i can boot to menu screen? | 21:09 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: if you can open up youtube videos, your "wireless sharing" works. | 21:09 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, network manager, as intended, it says it works, it doesn't work, "no connection to server" in youtube for example. | 21:10 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, I would think so. | 21:10 |
| Hulio | windows just booot to Grub rescue | 21:10 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, I can open youtube. But not the videos. | 21:10 |
| Hulio | when i type in ls | 21:10 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, that does not make sense, I know, but that's what happens. | 21:10 |
| Hulio | i saw (hd0) , (hd0, msdos1) and hd0, msxxx2 thing | 21:10 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: So did you check DNS and its functionality too? | 21:10 |
| Hulio | how to fix the boot? | 21:10 |
| Hulio | what is going on with ubuntu? | 21:11 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, unfortunately I only have a shitty unrooted android phone to test it on, so I can't tell if DNS is working properly on that end | 21:11 |
| Gnonthgol | I have a server with two nics on two different networks, however when I try to ping the nic in the other network I don't get any reply | 21:11 |
| daftykins | MrSassyPants: you've been warned about the language already. | 21:11 |
| MrSassyPants | daftykins, I am really tired ok | 21:11 |
| daftykins | that does not excuse it | 21:11 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: No reason for profane language. | 21:12 |
| MrSassyPants | it does explain it though. | 21:12 |
| daftykins | i disagree | 21:12 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: Noone careas about your explanation, just dont use that language. | 21:12 |
| MrSassyPants | ok, for all I can tell, DNS works on the phone via the shared wireless | 21:13 |
| Gnonthgol | MrSassyPants: I have seen issues like that with websites (especially youtube) if dns over tcp is not working | 21:13 |
| bekks | MrSassyPants: So your wifi sharing works. | 21:13 |
| MrSassyPants | bekks, partially, not sufficiently. | 21:13 |
| Gnonthgol | some dns responses are over 512 bytes and require tcp | 21:14 |
| MrSassyPants | Gnonthgol, does that end up with you being able to open up youtube, but the videos themselves produce connection errors? | 21:14 |
| MrSassyPants | Gnonthgol, is that some sort of known issue with dnsmasq? | 21:15 |
| Gnonthgol | MrSassyPants: if the domain serving the videos have many entries to balance the load over many servers then it can be an issue | 21:15 |
| verdeP | I'm trying to remember the ubuntu phone channel name, I thoughtit was #ubuntu-phone but apparently not | 21:15 |
| popey | verdeP: #ubuntu-touch | 21:16 |
| bazhang | verdeP, #ubuntu-touch | 21:16 |
| verdeP | ahh right thanks popey | 21:16 |
| k1l | verdeP: #ubuntu-touch | 21:16 |
| verdeP | lol | 21:16 |
| k1l | (and -phone should redirect to that channel) | 21:16 |
| popey | hm, I thought we had -phone redirect | 21:16 |
| verdeP | oh I'm +Q | 21:16 |
| Gnonthgol | I have a server with two nics on two different networks, however when I try to ping the nic in the other network I don't get any reply, any ideas | 21:18 |
| daftykins | Gnonthgol: routes and IP forwarding | 21:19 |
| daftykins | 1) Is subnet A aware that subnet B is available via server? 2) Is subnet B aware subnet A...? 3) Is IP forwarding enabled on the server? (/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward = 1) | 21:20 |
| Gnonthgol | there is a default route, if I configure another then the first one brakes, only one nic can get access to the internet at a time | 21:20 |
| Gnonthgol | ip forwarding is not enabled on the server in question, only on the gateways | 21:21 |
| daftykins | Gnonthgol: then there's problem #1, it's not going to forward traffic from one to the other with it off. | 21:21 |
| Gnonthgol | but I want it to send the traffic from ip A to subnet B through nic A to gw A | 21:22 |
| OerHeks | it is broken, en now you cannot ping it? | 21:23 |
| Gnonthgol | there should be no traffic being routed through the server | 21:23 |
| daftykins | Gnonthgol: so set it up accordingly. but this is obviously a networking query and nothing to do with ubuntu now :) it's impossible to follow you without a diagram labelled with the actual subnets in question, pop over to ##networking and ask again with a diagram in hand | 21:24 |
| === root is now known as Guest72518 | ||
| daftykins | Guest72518: not too wise to be on IRC as root | 21:25 |
| sentsont | okay I got the new Bitcoin working | 21:25 |
| sentsont | it's got a lot of new commands | 21:26 |
| Guest72518 | Take my root then | 21:26 |
| Gnonthgol | daftykins: the network is just fine, the problem is that ubuntu responds to requests from subnet A to its ip in subnet B with its ip in subnet A thus violating the networking axioms | 21:28 |
| daftykins | Gnonthgol: diagram or can't help, sorry. | 21:28 |
| lucido | can you drive multiple displays with multiple vga cards | 21:31 |
| daftykins | you can drive multiple with single cards these days | 21:31 |
| lucido | daftykins, I"m doing 4 displays | 21:31 |
| daftykins | so yes, but you'll probably find all kinds of quirky behaviour from someone i know who's used 4+ displays for a few years | 21:32 |
| daftykins | no idea how it behaves these days | 21:32 |

| RegexNinja47 | okay | 21:34 |
| derbie | Hi! I am new to the linux world. I've recently decided to learn nodejs and for this purpose i have access to a server running ubuntu and has nodejs and npm installed by default. How and where should i place my nodejs hello world web server ? | 21:34 |
| daftykins | lucido: i suppose i do know myself, but i was referring to someone else :) | 21:34 |
| derbie | file* | 21:35 |
| bprompt | derbie: there's a #nodejs channel btw | 21:35 |
| derbie | Sorry i thought it might be more related to ubuntu since i am a total newbie :) | 21:36 |
| Gnonthgol | derbie: as far as I know of nodejs you can put it anywhere you like (I prefer under ~/project/[whatever]/ | 21:36 |
| derbie | Thank you Gnonthgol | 21:37 |
| m1dnight_ | Guys, I have an alias in my ~/.zshrc file. I'm wondering if that alias can be executed from crontab? | 21:38 |
| m1dnight_ | I have an alias "chat" which is defined as `alias chat='tmux attach -dt weechat || tmux new -s weechat \; new-window weechat'` | 21:38 |
| m1dnight_ | I'm guessing crontab for my own user won't work because the zshrc file isn't loaded, or the crontab is not executed within the zsh shell? | 21:39 |
| m1dnight_ | in all fairness, I haven't tried yet | 21:39 |
| derbie | .... can you transfer files with putty? :D | 21:39 |
| m1dnight_ | you can use an other exe for that | 21:39 |
| derbie | Okay | 21:39 |
| m1dnight_ | pscp.exe it's called | 21:40 |
| daftykins | derbie: or WinSCP | 21:40 |
| daftykins | (a GUI program) | 21:40 |
| derbie | daftykins: was the top result on google :) | 21:40 |
| Gnonthgol | m1dnight_: you can get crond to run "zsh -c chat" to run the command "chat" under zsh | 21:40 |
| m1dnight_ | oh | 21:40 |
| m1dnight_ | ill try it on my laptop first, I was thinking to just put the alias definition in my crontab | 21:41 |
| Gnonthgol | that is also a possibility, but then you have to maintain the alias two places | 21:41 |
| m1dnight_ | indeed :) | 21:42 |
| m1dnight_ | ill give it a shot! | 21:42 |
| m1dnight_ | thanks Gnonthgol ! | 21:42 |
| Gnonthgol | np | 21:42 |
| derbie | So basically putty is equivalent of window's command prompt | 21:49 |
| derbie | I've read that you use cd folder_name to navigate, i'm getting No such file or directory | 21:49 |
| larebeck | well bekks we just went out and bought a newer HP Officejet 4630, I have the Officejet 5740 and it works with Ubuntu 14.04 | 21:50 |
| larebeck | however this HP Officejet 4630 on this Toshiba laptop is not installing | 21:50 |
| larebeck | I've tried to reinstall CUPS(the defaults) and the HPLIP multipule times and in different orders and I can't get it to print | 21:51 |
| daftykins | derbie: nope, PuTTY allows a remote connection to a Linux host that emulates a terminal. cmd's equivalent would be say, gnome-terminal inside GUI Ubuntu | 21:51 |
| k1l | derbie: on ubuntu? you dont use putty. you just use the terminal | 21:51 |
| Gnonthgol | derbie: putty is an ssh client for windows, ssh is the way to get a command line to a linux machine (like telnet only secure) | 21:51 |
| derbie | k1l: it's not on my machine | 21:52 |
| k1l | ok, so you use putty on a windows box to connect to a ubuntu box over ssh? | 21:52 |
| derbie | I think so :D | 21:52 |
| derbie | since it's responding to node --version i was expecting to use it to launch the node hello world app | 21:53 |
| k1l | ok. keep in mind that ubuntu uses case sensitivity. but you can use tab-completion to let the shell to the hard work of tying everything right | 21:53 |
| derbie | i feel like i'm 12 years old poking around | 21:56 |
| derbie | Error: Cannot find module '/root/index.js' | 21:56 |
| derbie | Nice | 21:57 |
| derbie | I got it running :D | 21:57 |
| Lady06 | help me | 21:59 |
| Lady06 | pls | 21:59 |
| Lady06 | ý want to phpmyadmin scanner | 21:59 |
| k1l | Lady06: we dont support illegal stuff in here. thanks | 22:00 |
| Gnonthgol | it is not illegal to scan, only immoral, the answer is still the same | 22:00 |
| Lady06 | pls help me for phpmyadmin scanner barismayk@hotmail.com | 22:02 |
| daftykins | ...no | 22:02 |
| derbie | Hmm got node to load it, can't connect to it via http tho' :/ | 22:03 |
| daftykins | as mentioned, can you try their channel? | 22:04 |

| Gnonthgol | cxdvty: #ubuntu+1 for 15.04 questions | 22:05 |
| derbie | So i believe i need something called nginx correct me if i'm wrong | 22:05 |

| derbie | ok ok | 22:05 |
| derbie | Thanks for the help so far :D | 22:05 |
| cxdvty | wtf? you guys wont even help me | 22:05 |
| cxdvty | I need help with ubuntu not 15.04 | 22:05 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: right and it might have a bug in that versions installer | 22:06 |
| teward | cxdvty: [2015-03-08 18:04:36] <cxdvty> i tried to install kubuntu 15.04 but the partitions got all messed up <-- 15.04 is in #ubuntu+1 - it may be a bug in that version's installer, hence why we point you to #ubuntu+1 instead. | 22:07 |

| chrislamp2 | <chrislamp2> hello guys! i have a problem with libreoffice 4 that i had not that in libreoffice 3 | 22:09 |
| chrislamp2 | <chrislamp2> when i made changes or navigate throught the document the navigator tab always refreshing | 22:09 |
| chrislamp2 | <chrislamp2> for example i have expand one branch in navigator and after made one change in document it is self refreshed, collapsing all the branches in navigator | 22:09 |
| bprompt | cxdvty: either way, I'd do a manual partitioning firstly, then the installation, that should work, the installer usually does a good job by itsef, bear in mind we're in 03-15, not in 04-15, thus I'd think kubuntu 15.04 is still in beta | 22:09 |
| cxdvty | it is | 22:09 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: do you want to keep any data? | 22:10 |
| cxdvty | no | 22:10 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: how come you didn't notice the big "nuke everything and install" option? | 22:10 |
| daftykins | is there an installer bug that stops this option being listed? | 22:10 |
| cxdvty | no | 22:10 |
| cxdvty | I had to dualboot | 22:10 |
| cxdvty | because its a beta | 22:11 |
| cxdvty | It may end up not working | 22:11 |
| cxdvty | Im dual booted just with weird partitions | 22:11 |
| cxdvty | I want to undo that | 22:11 |
| cxdvty | So i just have ubuntui | 22:11 |
| cxdvty | 14.04 | 22:11 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: so what are you typing from now? | 22:13 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, let's keep this in one channel so others can help and benefit | 22:13 |
| daftykins | ooh, where else are we? | 22:13 |
| ObrienDave | +1 | 22:14 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 22:14 |
| cxdvty | im on gparteds | 22:14 |
| ObrienDave | ok, give us a screenshot | 22:15 |
| cxdvty | I want to get rid of /dev/sda2 | 22:15 |
| daftykins | gparted liveCD? or gparted in a live session of ubuntu? | 22:15 |
| cxdvty | im on my ubuntu 14.04 right now | 22:15 |
| ObrienDave | safer to do this from gparted live CD | 22:15 |
| cxdvty | how do i give screenshot | 22:16 |
| ObrienDave | i think, daftykins? | 22:16 |
| daftykins | !paste | 22:16 |

| bprompt | cxdvty: 14.04 liveusb? | 22:16 |
| cxdvty | No im on my os | 22:16 |
| cxdvty | its been installed | 22:16 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: or open the terminal and run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" | 22:16 |
| cxdvty | http://imgur.com/Qs4tbqk | 22:17 |
| bprompt | cxdvty: as already suggested, that's not a good idea, you're going to remove the partitions you don't want, including 14.04 partition, which is where gparted is running from, do it from a a liveUSB session | 22:17 |
| cxdvty | i want it all to belong to sda1 only | 22:17 |
| daftykins | didn't you say you want 15.04 beside it though? | 22:18 |
| cxdvty | I will do that after i get sda1 all by itself | 22:18 |
| ObrienDave | NO, leave it as is and just expand sda2 to occupy the un allocated space | 22:18 |
| cxdvty | i just messed up | 22:18 |
| daftykins | no that's duplicating the work. | 22:18 |
| daftykins | gluing it back together just to separate it again wouldn't be a sensible use of time | 22:19 |
| cxdvty | then what do i do? | 22:19 |
| cxdvty | i only have the kubuntu 15.04 live usb now | 22:19 |
| daftykins | well that's ready to install to right there, there's a swap partition, 14.04's / and 205GB of spare space to put 15.04 | 22:20 |
| cxdvty | ? | 22:20 |
| daftykins | i don't see the problem | 22:20 |
| cxdvty | but theres a 3rd partition idk whats in it | 22:20 |
| daftykins | which are you looking at? | 22:20 |
| cxdvty | thers 70gb of kubuntu | 22:20 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, he does not understand partitions, i think | 22:20 |
| cxdvty | and 90gb of ubuntu | 22:20 |
| cxdvty | and like 100-200 gb of something idk what it is | 22:21 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: no, there are only two partitions there. sda1 and sda5. | 22:21 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: 'unallocated' = ready to use | 22:21 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, sda2 is un-allocated. it does not exist yet | 22:21 |
| cxdvty | cuz i just deleted some | 22:21 |
| ObrienDave | right click on sda2 and remove the EXTENDED partition | 22:22 |
| daftykins | ok so boot into 'try' mode of your 15.04 flash drive, join webchat and chat in #ubuntu+1 about how to install | 22:22 |
| cxdvty | why does my sda1 have only 80gb | 22:22 |
| ObrienDave | because you made it that size | 22:22 |
| cxdvty | how do i make it bigger than | 22:22 |
| saq | hello, i have ubuntu server 14.04 running zfs on linux for root and i cant seem to figure out how to get grub to behavior properly and boot | 22:23 |
| ObrienDave | get rid if SDA2 first | 22:23 |
| saq | i always have to type in configfile <zfs path> and it works | 22:23 |
| cxdvty | how? | 22:23 |
| saq | ive done the guide (even contributed a formatting script) but my grub-fu is not strong enough | 22:23 |
| ObrienDave | right click on sda2 and remove the EXTENDED partition | 22:23 |
| daftykins | that'll need swap killed i think | 22:24 |
| cxdvty | theres no option for that | 22:24 |
| cxdvty | when i right click i only get to choose manage flags and information | 22:24 |
| daftykins | you have to right click on swap and select swapoff first, but since you're in a running edition it likely won't allow it | 22:25 |
| ObrienDave | unmount | 22:25 |
| cxdvty | ok it swapoffed lol | 22:25 |
| cxdvty | what now | 22:25 |
| ObrienDave | yea, thats the mistake, your swap is part of the extended partition | 22:26 |
| cxdvty | what do we do? | 22:26 |
| ObrienDave | try un mounting sda2 | 22:26 |
| cxdvty | it is already | 22:26 |
| ObrienDave | damn, this is going to be safer from a live system | 22:27 |
| daftykins | and with us having gone to bed ;) | 22:28 |
| cxdvty | should i boot to kubuntu | 22:28 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, lol | 22:28 |
| derbie | how do i exit vi ? | 22:28 |
| derbie | i type quit and pressed enter nothing happens | 22:28 |

| lucido | does unity work with multiple nvidia gpus? | 22:33 |
| larebeck | just not on this Pretty clean Ubuntu 14.04 laptop | 22:33 |
| daftykins | larebeck: i think you've ruined it with all your changes, personally. upgrading CUPS via PPA? ouch | 22:34 |
| larebeck | daftykins, how do I get it back to normal daftykins ? I tried to remove "Printer" from software center adn reinstall it | 22:34 |
| daftykins | i don't think that's worth the effort, plus i don't know what you've done | 22:35 |
| larebeck | new clean install of Ubunt 14.04 daftykins ? | 22:35 |
| larebeck | because I think that is where I'm at | 22:35 |
| larebeck | we had tried a lexmark as well then went and got this Officejet | 22:35 |
| daftykins | yeah, clean 14.04.1 then fully update it and try again | 22:36 |
| larebeck | ok | 22:36 |
| daftykins | keeping the printer disconnected the whole time | 22:36 |

| cxdvty | ObrienDave?? | 22:38 |
| cxdvty | daftykins? | 22:39 |
| daftykins | ok i'll draw the short straw, so did you say you wanted 14.04 to have more disk space? | 22:39 |
| cxdvty | I want 14.04 to have it all | 22:39 |
| cxdvty | I want it to be like none of this ever happened | 22:40 |
| saq | anyone able to give me advice on my grub issues? | 22:40 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: so you're not going to install 15.04 again after? | 22:40 |
| ObrienDave | sorry, my 85 year old mother just called | 22:40 |
| cxdvty | Actually I want 15.04 and 14.04 to share the space equally | 22:41 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: yep, so please understand that to complete this task we shall be doing it the easy way, not via your preferred approach | 22:42 |
| daftykins | there's no point going back to how it was when you're only going to undo that again immediately. | 22:42 |
| cxdvty | Hey... as long as it gets done | 22:42 |
| daftykins | excellent, so can you run gparted and make a fresh screenshot? | 22:42 |
| daftykins | it might need installing, hmm not sure | 22:43 |
| cxdvty | i would but gparted is not installed | 22:43 |
| cxdvty | ok | 22:43 |
| ObrienDave | gparted is part of the live system | 22:43 |
| cxdvty | its not in here | 22:43 |
| daftykins | ObrienDave: but for kubuntu ? | 22:43 |
| daftykins | which apparently it is | 22:43 |
| ObrienDave | system menu folder? | 22:43 |
| cxdvty | There is an app called partition editor | 22:44 |
| cxdvty | not gparted tho | 22:44 |
| daftykins | go on then, be a devil | 22:44 |
| ObrienDave | that should work | 22:44 |
| cxdvty | but it didnt open d: | 22:44 |
| ObrienDave | hmm, not familiar with kubuntu live system | 22:44 |
| cxdvty | if i run the command to install gparted where does it install to? | 22:44 |
| ObrienDave | memory | 22:45 |
| ObrienDave | RAM disk specifically | 22:45 |
| ObrienDave | daftykins, you know kubuntu better than i | 22:46 |
| daftykins | i've never used it :D | 22:46 |
| daftykins | but we shall try | 22:47 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: so how far did you get? | 22:47 |
| cxdvty | what? | 22:48 |
| MrSassyPants | Ok. Why is dnsmasq started when NetworkManager connects to a regular old wired dhcp network? | 22:48 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: where are you up to... | 22:48 |
| cxdvty | If i run sudo apt-get install gparted will it mess up the live usb | 22:48 |
| ObrienDave | no | 22:48 |
| n0w | I'm getting the following issue on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: When lightdm loads, it loads with the purple ubuntu default theme then it changes to my Wallpaper Background image. How can I fix that? Thanks! =) | 22:48 |

| MrCollins | I am installing ubuntu should I choose ext4 or ext 2? | 23:41 |
| cxdvty | what? | 23:41 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, you have a 1.2GB space after swap. we're trying to move that space in fron of swap so sda1 can use it | 23:42 |
| ObrienDave | *front | 23:42 |
| Basketball | if i have a linux live cd can i use that as the iso file for vbox | 23:42 |
| ObrienDave | yes | 23:42 |
| daftykins | Basketball: yes, that *is* the ISO for VM creation | 23:42 |
| daftykins | MrCollins: 4 is standard now | 23:43 |
| RudeViper|Away | too many answers and so far everyone of them is wrong | 23:43 |
| cxdvty | i set up the 1.12 as swap? | 23:43 |
| Basketball | daftykins, no like i want to boot vbox using as live cd in my pcs cd drive | 23:43 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, following me so far? | 23:43 |
| cxdvty | kinda | 23:43 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, no, move the the existing swap file to the right so the 1.2GB space is to the left of swap | 23:44 |

| daftykins | Basketball: seriously? go into the VM options and point the optical drive to your physical drive | 23:46 |
| cxdvty | ok | 23:46 |
| daftykins | or just download the ISO again | 23:46 |
| cxdvty | did that' | 23:46 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, then apply, that will move the swap partition all the way to the right | 23:46 |

| frankf | i have a process named "tworks" and i typed killall -9 tw (then i pressed tab) and noticed it autocompleted the process name. Is this something with ubuntu only, or what can i attribute to the reason for this now happening? Is this something that has been newly built into the 'killall' process/binary ? Or, does it have to do with my terminal type? I am ssh'ing into a server, console only. bash | 23:48 |

| mikhael_k33hl | I'm configuring a server with 2 NICs belonging to two different subnets. I'm trying to set it up via the route-eth*. Do I have to set the default gateway on the two interfaces? | 23:49 |
| frankf | I tried on centOS and it does not auto complete the process name, so it must be something with ubuntu, no? | 23:49 |
| === knob is now known as Guest991 | ||
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, \o/ now expand sda1 to fill the gap. make space following 0 and apply | 23:49 |

| cxdvty | ? | 23:52 |
| mikhael_k33hl | When having 2 NICs, should I define a default gateway on both route-eth*? | 23:52 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, dont know, just run the size up until it stops ;P | 23:53 |
| ObrienDave | cxdvty, the resize window will tell you what the max size can be | 23:54 |
