[01:46] paste the URL here [01:46] galentanner: could open up a terminal, cd to your Downloads directory then ls -lah | pastebinit , but I wasn't the one asking for the contents so not sure what they're looking for... [01:46] anyone know a complete guide to install or upgrade Nvidia driver? [01:47] galentanner: also not familiar with whatever that software is, trying to run it from command line might provide some insight [01:47] !patience | hulio [01:47] hulio: 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/ [01:48] WHat is a good torrent client... [01:48] I have one on my winbox.... bit torrent.... [01:48] i like deluge [01:48] Ok. I am a windows guy. This means I'm super dumb....I need step by step instructions. I thought I could just double click the icon and off it goes. What do I do? [01:48] that will work [01:48] hulio: There are so many ways to install a Nvidia driver, there is no one-guide-covers-all that I am aware of . [01:48] MrCollins, that will work [01:49] Bashing-om, i want to install from the nvidia site download .run file [01:49] hulio: Why ? This is ubuntu, installing from OEM is the means of last resort . [01:50] ok [01:50] Bashing-om, because the one from PPA is not the lastest [01:50] the one provide by the Nvidia is the latest [01:50] !latest | hulio [01:50] MrCollins, for ubuntu, deluge or transmission [01:50] hulio: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [01:51] ok thx Obrien [01:51] <[Raiden]> !latest | [Raiden] [01:51] [Raiden], please see my private message [01:51] Bashing-om, i understand your point, but i'm very sure Nvidia don't push out something they are not sure..they have stable version as well. [01:51] galentanner: ok, so you have some X-Air-Edit file in your downloads now? Can you check the file permissions? might be able to right click and get to properties or something, see if you can make it executable, if it's not already. then from there if that throws the same error you can try opening a terminal and running ./Downloads/X-Air-Edit and see if that does anything at all. [01:52] hulio, things installed outside of official repose are not supported here. you're on your own ;p [01:52] i do unstand [01:52] *repos [01:52] galentanner: also that ^ [01:52] but i would like to know how to install from the .run file [01:52] ok. It says "Executable" [01:52] hulio, normally, sh .run [01:52] so just type in that command and it shoudl run? [01:53] ObrienDave, there are more to that...if i recalled from long ago i did once. [01:53] like stop the GUI [01:53] go to black screen mode or something [01:53] galentanner: should also check for instructions, is this something you have to install? Pretend we know nothing about what you're doing.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [02:18] I have downloaded a program and need to to install it. It shows up as an executable in the Downloads folder. I double click on it and I get an error message: Failed to execute child process "/home/galentanner/Downloads/X-Air-Edit" (No such file or directory). What am I missing? [02:19] What are you trying to install [02:19] And is it for linux specifically? [02:19] It's a Digital Audio Workstation that is supposed to be compatible with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. [02:20] Are you installing through terminal [02:20] mail the developers to make an ubuntu-friendly package. That said, what files are in the downloads folder? [02:20] What is the name of the program you are installing? [02:20] I was just double clicking the icon that appeared after I ran some "tar" command. [02:20] What exactly is GID [02:20] because, if it expects a file ("no such file or dir") then you want to know why it's not there [02:21] X-Air-Edit from Behringer [02:21] Is GID group ID [02:21] Bray90820: yes [02:21] Alright and UID is user ID right [02:22] There are two files in the folder, the one I just mentioned and the one I ran the "tar" command on. [02:22] I do want to know why it's not there. I see it in the directory. Why does the computer not see it? [02:22] Are they placed in the downloads folder? [02:23] Can you paste the command you ran? [02:23] Both in the Downloads folder...yes [02:23] galentanner@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ tar xvf /home/galentanner/Downloads/X-AIR-EDIT_LINUX_0.5.1.beta.tar-1 [02:24] This points to the other file in the directory. [02:24] galentanner@ubuntu:~/ tar xvf /home/galentanner/Downloads/X-AIR-EDIT_LINUX_0.5.1.beta.tar-1 [02:24] put them both in home folder and try that [02:24] i put too many spaces before tar only put one space [02:25] I dragged them both to the galentanner folder and double clicked...same message [02:25] can ubuntu 14.10 install as wubi? [02:26] You put them in the HOME folder? [02:26] how come when i wubi , it has demo and install [02:26] then it ask me to reboot? [02:26] Then ran the command i told you to run? [02:26] I don't see a home folder [02:26] i thought it should install within windows? [02:26] anyone? [02:26] click on your files app [02:26] then click on home tab [02:26] anyone? [02:26] drag them both to home tab [02:27] then run the command [02:27] There is no "home" tab. [02:27] galentanner: on terminal, run: file Downloads/X-Air-Edit [02:27] what is the output [02:28] htqp: Is it possible to not have a home tab? [02:28] idk, I have xfce here [02:28] You should still have home though right [02:28] I'm in the File manager and my folder is under a heading "places" [02:32] I put it back in the Downloads folder and typed in that command and got the "no such file or directory" error. [02:34] I think I'm going back to windows. This is just too much work! [02:35] galentanner: you did not just say that [02:36] what's too much work is all the GUI noise, clicking and looking for tabs that might not exist [02:36] just do command line and be done with it [02:36] I'm sorry! I love the Idea of linux, but I've been trying to get this to work for two weeks. I'm missing time with my family because nothing works, It's constantly crashing and it's just terrible. [02:37] what did you install? the newest ubuntu release right? [02:37] htqp: Something that is more ubuntu friendly would be nice. Apple and Ubuntu, am not sure go together well. [02:37] I have an old Gateway Laptop and I finally got Xbuntu 14.04 LTS to run. I don't dare update it because it just crashes the thing. [02:38] codepython777: what part of "the 2011 model works like a charm" is unclear [02:38] charms don't work [02:38] htqp: this is 2015? [02:38] and I also linked the mode-per-model compatibility tables [02:38] Once it crashes then it's another 5 hours to wipe the hard drive and reinstall... [02:39] dell xps seems to be decent choice [02:39] codepython777: and? still i5 + broadcom wifi + ssd + webcam, what kind of advanced tech has been developed in the last 4 years AND was made available on the consumer market AND is relevant to your comp usage? [02:40] galentanner, what happens when you open a terminal and type : sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ?? [02:40] it crashes?? [02:40] might be a hardware issue [02:41] ^ if ubuntu lts crashes you can bet it0s hardware issue, do a memcheck at the boot menu [02:41] again with the codes...I don't know how to do that... [02:41] I put in that code...it [02:42] it's thinking [02:44] does anyone have a dell xps running ubuntu here? [02:45] The terminal is stuck at: Reading package lists... 63% [02:45] galentanner, probably just a slow machine, but seeing that means it's likely working [02:45] albeit slowly [02:45] indeed [02:49] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [02:49] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

[02:49] sudo runs the following command as "root" [02:49] !sudo | galentanner [02:49] galentanner: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE).

[02:50] millet turkce bilen varmi lan burda? [02:51] i'd try the small hammer first and just put "sudo" ahead of the command [02:51] galentanner, it unlocks your error [02:51] ok....

[02:54] galentanner, sudo apt-get upgrade === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [02:54] last time I upgraded, I had to wipe this thing and start over. Are you sure this won't cost me another 5 hours? [02:54] no [02:54] i'm not there to know your hardware [02:55] how do i do multi-arch? [02:55] but if that breaks you have some deep (probably hardware) problems [02:55] it shouldn't break, go ahead [02:55] i am on a 64bit system and need to do a 32bit lib for a compile driver [02:55] live dangerously [02:55] galentanner, OR you could download the latest version of ubuntu and clean install. depends on your ISP speed. [02:56] i am also on ubuntu 14.10 [02:56] I tried Ubuntu and it never came up...literally spent 7 hours waiting. Just too big. I'll try the upgrade. === AustinTheGrey is now known as AustinTheGrey_Aw === AustinTheGrey_Aw is now known as AustinTheGrey [02:59] It's chewing on it... [02:59] galentanner, . . . oh the anticipation! [03:00] no one does? [03:00] Ok. I'm still here. Should I double click the icon again? [03:01] galentanner, i thought you were using a terminal ?? [03:01] shouldn't be anything to click with a terminal, only simple, decisive text based commands [03:01] I am way too dumb to be typing in commands. I'm a point and click guy. [03:02] galentanner, but you seem to be typing into this chat quite well [03:03] terminal is not much different [03:03] I can type, but I praised the day that DOS 6.22 gave way to Windows. I hate the idea of commands. [03:04] i'm the opposite, couldn't live without em [03:04] So, I double click the icon and get the same error message. I just can't install this thing. === achernya_ is now known as achernya [03:04] 14.04 If I were going to run the remote desktop preference by typing a command into the run box (alt-F2) what would I type? [03:04] That's great, but I have things to do, don't want to spend all day programming [03:05] galentanner, like most things in life, you get out what you're willing to put in [03:05] good luck with it [03:05] terrasapien, lol my questions stems from my having a similar fixation on cli commands. [03:05] I guess. I'll just put in on my windows machine. This just isn't working. [03:05] Thank so much for the help. [03:06] galentanner: what is this file? [03:06] X-Air-Edit...it [03:06] s a DAW [03:06] a digital recorder for music [03:07] I know most of you guys think it's great, but I just don't use Unity. I would like to run the Remote Desktop preferences without having to log out and log into Unity. Anyone know the cli command for it? [03:07] galentanner: a DAW file is not an app. what app did you install that is supposed to open Digital Audio WOrkstation files? [03:08] It's a downloaded program that I'm supposed to install. Can't get it to install. [03:08] DAW is Digital Audio Workstation [03:08] galentanner: downloaded from where? [03:08] Behringer [03:09] I have been able to get the "tar" command to work, but I double click on the icon and it says it's not there. [03:09] galentanner: and the name of the app is X Air Edit? [03:09] Yes [03:10] hi i know its off topic but does rescatux work on windows 10 or win 8?? no one answers at the sgrub channel. [03:10] Any ideas? [03:11] galentanner, consult the app documentation. it's not an ubuntu product [03:11] galentanner: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=x%20air%20edit [03:11] No it's not. Behringer gave no instructions just stated that compatibility was checked with 14.04 [03:11] galentanner: the first (and only) app hit from Behringer is for an iOS/Android product [03:12] galentanner, send me the download link please. also: what is your ubuntu version? [03:12] I know, It's on the website. IT has the little penguin and everything [03:12] Xbuntu 14.04 LTS.....

[03:21] hulio, no. ask your ubuntu questions [03:21] Finally got an SD card, installing Ubuntu Desktop (14.04.2) onto it using Rufus; my question is: [03:21] is redhat diff from ubuntu? [03:21] hulio, yes. [03:22] will UBuntu automatically make a partition (That I set the size of) off of the Windows one? [03:22] i find that ubuntu is more UI frendly [03:22] Or do I have to manually shrink a partition? [03:22] Yuken, it set automatic [03:22] Yuken, i install alongside mode [03:22] no, you have to shrink the partition in windows if you dont already have unpartitioned off space [03:22] hulio, chit chat = #ubuntu-offtopic this channel is for support. thanks. [03:22] I know most of you guys think it's great, but I just don't use Unity. I would like to run the Remote Desktop preferences without having to log out and log into Unity. Anyone know the cli command for it? [03:22] And, another question; I WOULD google it but google isn't available, nor is steam/etc: [03:22] Is TF2 available for Linux? XD [03:23] !steam | Yuken [03:23] or is it called Desktop Sharing now? [03:23] Yuken: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion.

[03:23] i think ubuntu is best man [03:23] cfhowlett: I can't access anything besides freenode as of right now, XD [03:23] but for now it is lack of softwares [03:24] hulio, like anything else, you have to learn how do make do with what's available [03:24] anyone use dracut+dmcrypt? [03:28] AMD64 works with Intel, right? XD. [03:28] * Yuken is stopdi [03:28] Ah... had to run ps aux to find it but it seems to be "vino-preferences"!

At first boot it was super fuzzy. Managed to find the display settings and can read it now at 800x600 but would prefer native 1680x1050. Running a GTX 750Ti. Trying to switch to that resolution in the display settings does nothing currently.

[09:44] Interprog56: install a linux distro which looks nice and then search everything in google what you need :) [09:44] Interprog56: well, install it, use it as regular OS and get used to it :) [09:44] Any way I can put the global appmenu on gnome fallback in the title bar? Next to the close and minimize buttons? [09:45] Thanks guys :), I just wanna yours opinion.....I'm a beginner in programming...use C++ (for GUI, indeed speed is important to build GUI)...I also found a good project to join...called ToriOS [09:47] Anyway...why just don't get familiar with UNIX interface instead of changing OS regularly....like command line? :D [09:48] Interprog56: becaue commandline != different os's commandline ;) [09:48] which means that when you know ya windows cmd you know 0 about a linux terminal [09:49] Interprog56: well, then join the tori OS channel and talk to them :)this channel is ubuntu only [09:49] I just mentioned the project because it's nice...not to promote or something like that... [09:50] I know some bash and korn's [09:50] but I prefer tcsh instead.... [09:51] and I heard Windows got the PowerShell, is it better than Linux shells? [09:52] well you can't compare python with java can you? [09:52] so yeah they are simmilar but not the same. so learning powershell is not really a use when you want to learn a linux shell [09:53] Oh, I see :) [09:54] well you can use basic linux commands (like ls) but they are just some aliases to the windows comamnds (dir,. ...) [09:54] and what Ubuntu SDK packages provide you? I heard it support QML(Qt) for Ubuntu phone and desktop [09:56] I need to learn a lot as a beginner...and yeah..I found the shells is not much different...just how it's designed and implemented for the OS it managed. [09:57] i wouldn't start using a linux os with programming it. just try to use it as a basic os instead of windows then go onto linux programming [09:58] firstly get used to it [09:59] I'm sorry, I don't understand..can you type a little bit clearly, sir? [09:59] Interprog56: yeah sure :) [10:00] Interprog56: When you start learning something. try to get used to the environment before you start programming it [10:00] so my guess is that you should use linux as your main os a couple of weeks then start programming it [10:01] ff [10:01] hi [10:01] rno_:hi :) [10:02] anyone here!

[13:03] ioria: tell me about it!! 21 packages were removed. its only after BluesKaj asked if i even has ssh installed that i tried to install it and was told that it was the latest but had redundant packages that could be removed so gave that a go.

I've been through a problem installing PostgreSQL 9.4 since yesterday. I lost the SSH connection while installing it and had to kill the apt jobs after a couple hours. Now I'm trying to dpkg --configure postgresql-common and it hangs, and I don't know how to debug it. [13:23] but need the power of something more substantial and I had this laptop here so I have it outputting through hdmi to the tv then running ubuntu [13:23] with emulation station the same thing retropi uses [13:23] have you tried to get dpkg to run in verbose mode? [13:24] not sure if it'll help, but it'll give you a better idea of where the prolbem is. [13:24] couldn't find verbose mode, tried -v and --verbose and none of them work [13:24] dpkg --help doesn't show anything related [13:24] well that sucks... [13:24] and I added skype to it and a video chat client I was working on for steam machines and linux :D [13:25] I would like to note I adopted ubunut as an OS just this weekend so I'm sort of rusty when it come to using it. [13:25] it asks for a password, postgres I guess, but it seems to get stuck right after asking for this password [13:25] how long does it hang? [13:25] best way to resolve rust is to drink lots of caffeine I am told [13:25] because when I type it, the password shows on screen [13:25] forever [13:25] can you control c out of it? [13:26] when I ctrl+C, it shows "su: Authentication failure" [13:26] lol I have been using it slowly on and off for 2 months and I will always be rusty :P [13:26] but only after ctrl+c [13:26] sudo su? [13:26] or superuser? [13:26] NeilCarvalho: i am nowhere near qualified to help you but would like to suggest you start to use something like screen when you are doing these sorts of things in the future. that way if im not wrong your not going to have these dramas if you loose your ssh connection. [13:27] also Neil, are you accessing it over the wire or via the computer itself? [13:27] assamualaikum [13:27] what? [13:27] Lee-C: thank you, I'll use screen next time [13:27] mine5 over the wire [13:27] Hello [13:27] sudo [13:28] I'll try to sudo su [13:28] that may be why your hanging then, linux may or may not be preoccupied with whats its coding.

[13:58] Thms: in memory, config on the TFTP [13:58] So it's all in the build of the my thinclient OS ? [13:58] Thms: yup [13:59] mines5: Well, looks like I'm going to have to re-build the toolchain with crosstool-ng. Wish me luck. === arun_ is now known as arunpyasi [13:59] so if I want to make any change I have t rebuild it. [13:59] Thms: yup [13:59] TijG, in which file exactly ? pxelinux.0 ? [14:00] Thms: can't remember exactly how it works though [14:00] TijG, ok thanks. [14:00] Thms: but can't search now, working at a client atm [14:00] No problem. [14:00] I'll look up which file has the bigger size, must be this one [14:03] Is there a way to apt-get reinstall vim with ruby support? [14:05] hi, here is the error i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568476/ [14:06] Hi guys, I want to upgrade my friends netbook to Ubuntu. Its a 32bit System. its been a while since ive done this. could you please advise me how to go about it? [14:06] does on april will be released a new version ? [14:07] quants: what's it got right now? to be honest the age of netbooks has long since past, those things are only fit for the scrap heap now [14:08] daftykins its running windows seven starer, the most anoying of the windows OS's lol [14:08] ah, yes that must be quite painful [14:09] quants: i think lubuntu or xubuntu are your best choices, either 12.04 or 14.04 [14:09] quants: they're all annoying! my personal vote goes to 'windows millenium edition' (which came after win'98 SE) [14:10] daftykins is the layout more of less the same? [14:10] ME was the worst of them all [14:10] mines5 and dreamcat4^: off topic thanks [14:10] sorry [14:10] quants: as ubuntu with unity? not especially, best to give it a go [14:11] dreamcat the trouble is all windows os's suck [14:11] I like ubunuts unity [14:11] yep sorry daftykins /OT [14:11] I tried installing other shells but they act weird and don't function properly [14:11] xubuntu and lubuntu do not like my computer. [14:12] daftykins its just i use 14.04 lts on my netbook and it runs pretty well [14:12] people, chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is *support* only [14:12] quants: oh? netbooks tended to have 1GB RAM max, so i'd consider unity a mistake - totally up to you though [14:12] you're the one that has to support it :D [14:13] k guys we got an issue [14:13] whats wrong? [14:13] daftykins, do you have a download link for lubuntu then? [14:13] i added myself to sudoers group by changing /etc/sudo just appending my username to the end of the sudo line. [14:13] all went well. im a sudoer now [14:14] mines5: the issue is that after a reboot, all of the fonts are extremely small [14:14] that seems to be the only side effect [14:14] I know that feeling [14:14] if i had to guess. id say all fonts are around 2px [14:14] I think thats an inherent issue with a lot of the ubunut images [14:14] AcidRain2012: your user wasn't the first created one on that system? 0o [14:14] ye, how do i fix it [14:14] if its too small just increase it to a higher level [14:14] AcidRain2012: For future reference, use visudo, don't edit the file directly. [14:14] daftykins: it was. i accidentally removed myself [14:15] * daftykins chuckles [14:15] Pricey: ye, i know ive messed it up somehow. how do i fix this? [14:15] AcidRain2012: Sounds unrelated to me. [14:15] nah. they are related [14:15] has to be [14:15] AcidRain2012: Why do you think that? [14:15] was an issue before. modded sudo file. its an issue now [14:15] i see a relation [14:16] AcidRain2012: I think its more likely you did something else. /etc/sudoers should only be used by the sudo command I believe. [14:16] that was first time ive ever modded the sudo file. [14:16] Pricey: i modded the file from another partition that i do have sudo on [14:16] AcidRain2012: I don't understand. [14:17] Pricey: i have another hdd that is installed in this computer. it has ubuntu 12 on it. from ubuntu 12, i edited the ubuntu 14 /etc/sudoers file [14:17] sorry [14:17] not sudoers [14:17] /etc/group [14:17] AcidRain2012: in future you should use the recovery boot to undo mistakes :) [14:18] daftykins: wouldnt let me do anything in recovery because i dont have root :/ [14:18] AcidRain2012: Did you only add yourself to the admin group, nothing more? [14:18] recovery boots to a root shell. [14:18] AcidRain2012: so you did it wrong :) [14:18] yeah. but i didnt have root [14:18] :/; [14:18] daftykins: I don't think it'd give much advantage here thoguh. [14:19] well not given we're after the event no, but that would have been the proper way [14:19] daftykins: in root shell: usermod -aG root acidrain [14:19] dont have root priv [14:19] lol. [14:19] i don't think that's right. [14:20] AcidRain2012: You don't want to add yourself to the root group, that's overkill. [14:20] I think 'admin' is the default sudo group on ubuntu? [14:20] cant remember. i think it is admin [14:20] yep [14:20] -rw-r--r-- root:root is the permissions on /etc/group [14:21] is this right? [14:21] now terminal randomly locks up :( [14:22] so now. if i remove myself from sudoers. and readd myself before rebooting, will it fix this? [14:24] i changed sudoers to 0440 [14:24] Pratik151: what ubuntu is that? [14:24] I don't think it'll make your fonts bigger. [14:24] AcidRain2012: Eeeek don't randomly change the file modes on that thing. [14:24] Pricey: i dont want them bigger, i want my system wide font to return to its normal size [14:24] k1l_ : 14.04 [14:24] AcidRain2012, did it ask for the password when you dropped to root shell? [14:24] Pricey: google said that was supposed to be the persmission on it [14:25] EriC^^: didnt ask for password. just said i didnt have root access [14:25] it prompted me with a root shell. but every cmd said no root priv [14:25] Pratik151: what command did do that output? can you pastebin that all together? [14:25] ok [14:25] AcidRain2012, oh [14:26] im gonna restart again and see if by the grace of god it magically fixes [14:26] did you try typing id [14:26] no [14:26] to see if your uid is 0 [14:26] my uid is not 0 now. [14:26] its 1000 === lasko1 is now known as lasko [14:26] yeah i mean in the root shell [14:26] no [14:27] hang on. the system is rebooting. ill get root shell and check the id [14:27] ok [14:27] k1l_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568566/ [14:27] lol. take that back. i have to reboot via power button now [14:28] why [14:28] you're in the cli? [14:28] idk [14:28] it wouldnt reboot [14:28] press ctrl+alt+del [14:28] nah. booted up normally [14:28] it should reboot [14:28] oh [14:28] press ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+del [14:29] EriC^^: yes. 0 is the id [14:30] ok [14:30] Pratik151: can you whos the whole output of "sudo apt-get update" [14:30] *show [14:30] useradd -m -G sudo [14:30] k. how do i change the font size of dolphin? [14:30] lol [14:30] AcidRain2012, doesn't work? [14:31] EriC^^: i am part of sudoers again. i did this my manually editing /etc/group with gedit [14:31] oh ok [14:32] thus the lesson about running random commands from online was learnt, the hard way :) [14:32] daftykins: i can do without the flames >_> [14:33] k1l_ : whos? [14:33] Pratik151: *show [14:33] anyone here good with mdadm? i'm getting some confusing results with something === Steven| is now known as Steven- [14:33] AcidRain2012: that's not even vaguely flaming, i'm seriously pointing out the dangers of running things you don't truly understand [14:33] k1l_ : ok [14:33] changing file permissions on a system file is highly dubious [14:34] heh, yeah, i've learned that the hardway too dafty [14:34] understand what you run xD [14:34] 0440 is the default permissions on /etc/group :O [14:36] AcidRain2012, actually it's not [14:36] EriC^^: what is it? [14:36] Lyze: wb [14:36] good evening guys ;) [14:36] AcidRain2012, nless you're talking about sudors [14:36] yes right right [14:36] sry [14:37] lotuspsychje: :) [14:38] EriC^^: hmmm.... seems to be a KDE issue only. how can i fully remove KDE and all configurations [14:39] sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename ? [14:40] that should do it [14:40] lol. it thinks that KDE isnt even installed [14:40] gave me error "we thought the uid was 0 but its rly 1000" [14:41] AcidRain2012, sudo apt-get purge [14:41] k, reinstalling now [14:42] Pratik151: ? [14:42] see what type of hax we can cook up [14:42] AcidRain2012, that's an odd error msg :D [14:42] When I start the ubuntu, my interfaces start from eth3. What file I should clean so that my interfaces start in eth0? [14:42] a clean install by the sounds of it ;) [14:42] heh [14:42] expected windows user idea [14:43] k1l_ : sorry for the delay i will do it just now. sorry, i will ping u after its done [14:44] its fixed [14:44] :D [14:47] k1l_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568657/ [14:47] Hey. Can someone help me with apt-get installation. apt-get package just dissappeared, and I am looking for a way to download it manually(because I dont have apt-get anymore) [14:47] how can i find path of libgeos_c.so [14:48] dont know where it is [14:48] isthisreallife: use the 'whereis' command [14:48] isthisreallife, or locate [14:48] lotuspsychje, :P as usual [14:48] Hi guys! I have a strange problem: I booted up Ubuntu (using it on this pc since I first bough it) and I don't have a cursor. Everything works except for no mouse [14:48] thanks [14:49] clicks don't work, so it's not just invisible [14:49] d4r3topk, are you sure you dont have the package installed? [14:49] EriC^^: :p [14:49] Pratik151: do you have some PPAs enabled? [14:49] d4r3topk, type dpkg -l | awk '$2 ~ /^apt$/' [14:49] EriC^^: locate apt-get should give usr/bin/, but it doesnt give that anymore [14:50] k1l_ : dont know about PPAS , Sorry i am new to ubuntu [14:50] Pratik151: "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" [14:51] d4r3topk, does it return anything? [14:51] rc apt 1.0.1ubuntu2 amd64 commandline package manager [14:51] amd64 from next line [14:51] d4r3topk, ok i guess it's removed but the config files are still there [14:51] any suggestions? [14:51] maybe use dpkg to install it [14:52] download the .deb and use dpkg -i /path/to/deb [14:53] k1l_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568694/ [14:53] EriC^^: I've been looking for it from quite a long time. Can you please guide me somewhere? [14:53] EriC^^: Or tell me the link if you can? [14:55] d4r3topk, which ubuntu do you have? [14:56] 14.04 [14:57] so, I have an mdadm RAID 10 server that did a hard shut down over the weekend because of a combination of a power failure and my UPS failed (grrrr) [14:57] EriC^^: ^^ [14:57] one of the harddrives will not mount anymore [14:57] so I just started it w/o the disc and added in my spare [14:58] and it's copying over [14:58] but, I'm a little confused about how to check on a disc when that happens [14:58] d4r3topk, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.0.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb [14:58] Pratik151: "sudo apt-get install libgles2-mesa-dev" [14:59] like, how do I check for bad sectors [14:59] since e2fsck is just for ext2-4, right? [14:59] hey guys, any reason I would wanna consider upgrading to 14.10? [15:00] Can I expect increased stability, or less since it's not LTS? [15:01] nicomachus, less commitment to stability compared to LTS [15:01] nicomachus: do you want to upgrade every 6 months? [15:01] nicomachus, absent a compelling need, I'd suggest LTS only. bleeding edges are bloody and I get along just fine with upgrading at every LTS.1 release. [15:04] Ok. Just wanted to get an opinion. Logged into my home computer via SSH and it asked if I wanted to upgrade to 14.10. Not sure why it waited until just now to ask... but whatevs. [15:04] EriC^^: Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot. [15:04] d4r3topk, no problem [15:05] I'll stick with the LTS. The PC in questions is rather old and stability is the highest priority. [15:05] Finally got some kernel issues figured out this weekend. [15:05] how do i convert a lubuntu download into a boot disk to intsal on a windows system? [15:05] !remmina [15:06] !livecd [15:06] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [15:06] quants, you can use lilo on windows to create a live ub [15:06] *usb === marlenee is now known as Guest41546 [15:07] Ok, so I'm connected to my home PC right now via SSH, but how can get a remote desktop view? [15:08] Is remmina still installed by default? [15:08] nicomachus, ssh -X [15:08] !info remmina | nicomachus [15:08] !info remmina [15:08] nicomachus: remmina (source: remmina): remote desktop client for GNOME desktop environment. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.0-6ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 117 kB, installed size 415 kB [15:08] ubottu lag [15:08] You have lag, I don't have lag [15:08] :| [15:08] nicomachus: optional [15:09] EriC^^: what is -X? [15:09] eric sorry i got booted off. i want to set it up on my laptop. its running 14.04. [15:09] nicomachus, X forwarding [15:09] quants, ok, np you can use unetbootin or dd in the terminal [15:09] eric whats the softwere to make the download live? [15:10] but what is X11 forwarding? [15:10] dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX get the sdX part using lsblk ) [15:10] eric im new, whats the code to use in the terminal? [15:10] nicomachus, it allows your home computer to communicate with the Xserver on your pc and put the gui there [15:11] quants, the dd command is the above one, if you want you could download unetbootin , sudo apt-get install unetbootin [15:12] iam using ubuntu OS and i have problem in GUI i can't even find taskbar and file explorer [15:12] Jona995, you mean the left laucher? [15:12] *launcher [15:13] eric thank you [15:13] no problem [15:13] EriC^^ i can't even see left laucher [15:14] Jona995, try the guest account and see if it works first [15:14] all i see is blank desktop [15:14] Jona995, also, you might have it hidden, try putting the mouse in the left area [15:14] Jona995, no clock and stuff at the top? [15:14] EriC^^ : i try to log in from guest but i face the same problem [15:15] Jona995, ok try sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [15:15] EriC^^ : there's nothing at the top [15:15] is it possible to upgrade a ubuntu server 10.10 to 14.x? [15:16] EriC^^ : i can't even find or how to open a terminal [15:16] rodd, yeah but it's way easier to just clean install [15:16] Jona995, press ctrl+alt+f1 , type sudo service lightdm restart [15:16] EriC^^: right thx [15:17] Jona995, go back to ctrl+alt+f1, and type sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop [15:17] EriC^^ : so what's the work for this command "sudo service lightdm restart" [15:18] Hello all, I want some help [15:18] !ask | ElyasSaeed [15:18] ElyasSaeed: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:18] Jona995, it's not really necessary, just to quit your ubuntu session before reinstalling [15:19] i dont think it matters though [15:19] thanks ubottu and Schrodingers, i dont use irc that much [15:19] ubottu is a bot ElyasSaeed [15:19] carter1: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:19] heh [15:20] EriC^^ : i try to restart my PC and log in back and it have the same problem [15:20] !ask How can I downgrade to 14.04 lts? I am using 14.10... Or is there 14.10 LTS? [15:20] ElyasSaeed: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:20] Jona995, did you try to reinstall unity? [15:21] ElyasSaeed, there's no command or easy way for that [15:21] 14.10 is not LTS [15:21] the best way is a clean install [15:21] ok... [15:21] so will I install the iso for 14..04 lts and install it again [15:21] * carter1 nods [15:21] yeah, just backup your stuff and app list and reinstall [15:21] so good! [15:21] just make sure you back up any files [15:22] EriC^^ : how can i reinstall unity while i have no access to any tool in ubuntu ?! [15:22] Jona995, ctrl+alt+f1 [15:22] that will give you terminal [15:22] *a terminal [15:22] yes [15:22] there is an option to install without resetting (after the installer detects the OS), does it work nicely? [15:23] EriC^^: does ssh -X require some configuring beforehand? this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/ZSmEurr7 [15:23] ElyasSaeed, no, that's actually a bug that could wipe at your whole hdd i think [15:24] nicomachus: you would still need the rest of the ssh command to connect, just add the -X before your username@machineaddress part [15:24] even if I'm already connected? [15:25] Hi [15:25] nicomachus: don't think you can do it mid-connection, afaik [15:25] iDC, i am new to ubuntu and installed it yesterday, you are so helpful people, thanks [15:26] * lotuspsychje grabs the ubuntu cookie box [15:26] SchrodingersScat: I gotcha. I still just get a command line though. [15:27] k1l_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568870/ [15:27] ElyasSaeed, that's great, no problem [15:27] thanks all [15:27] nicomachus: right, but if you start something with a gui then it should pop up, or you may have to set a display/something else. [15:27] i can't connect myself to Freenode via Tor [15:27] Ah, I see. Cool. [15:27] Pratik151: "sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev" [15:27] Jona995: Gotta register SASL [15:28] sure i did [15:28] i already registered with SASL before [15:29] Jona995: this isn't really topical for #ubuntu, but you have to set up auto-SASL login in your client [15:30] wow, the GUI isn't very responsive... super slow.

[15:32] Dear All, [15:32] having issues with Name resolution [15:32] k1l_ : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568904/ [15:32] nicomachus: it has to send all that over the network, you could try a vnc, which i think your remmnia thing was, but can run into the same problem. long-term it's better to use cli tools, but that's my opinion. [15:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10568907/ [15:33] this is the error message [15:33] lotuspsychje> Oh happy to know you're alive x) No they're not...

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [15:45] hi there [15:45] i found this bug report: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1203814 [15:45] :) okie thanks [15:45] New_User_Ubuntu: set your DNS servers to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 [15:45] and i am experiencing EXACTLY this problem [15:45] vinod777: does gpu temp warmup on both drivers the same? [15:45] i have reformated, reinstalled, same problem [15:45] how can i change ttf metadata in cli [15:45] keyboard throws random letter onto the screen, and does so only at random times and must be restarted [15:45] anyone ever seen this issue? === tom_k is now known as tjk11 [15:45] VonGuardian: you've tried a different keyboard? [15:46] wesley9946: its a internal DNS server which i am pointing to [15:46] i checked on fglrx driver using aticonfig --odg [15:46] I dont know how to check the temp on xorg driver [15:46] vinod777: you can't on the xorg driver, AFAIK [15:46] this issue too http://askubuntu.com/questions/526066/random-character-input-starts-after-typing-during-short-freezes [15:46] nicomachus: yes [15:46] unless you find a 3rd party GPU monitor [15:46] vinod777: maybe psensor can show you stuff? [15:46] i could not replicate with another keyboard [15:46] New_User_Ubuntu: within your network? [15:47] it's defintiely a software bug. I was on 12.10 for 2 years no issue, i upgraded to 14.10 and this began [15:47] VonGuardian: you could not replicate with another keyboard, meaning that another keyboard worked just fine? [15:47] and then up reformatted and reinstalled [15:47] yes sir [15:47] they other keyboard worked fine [15:47] then it's your keyboard that's bad. [15:47] Hi, I am using lightdm and for some reason it interfears with my trying to use zsh as a default shell. I used chsh and I can see zsh is my default shell if I login via console. However, if I use lightdm, then bash is kept [15:47] get a new keyboard. [15:47] i even found this type of bug reported by debian and arch users [15:47] i cannot get a new keyboard it is a laptop [15:47] Oh there is something else, can I update my OS to 64 bits without reinstall the OS? [15:47] trust me this is 100% a software issue, not a hardware issue [15:48] Lunatic: better reinstall clean 64bit mate [15:48] i guarantee it. if it was a hardware issue, ti would not be happening compltely at random. [15:48] VonGuardian: I wanna believe you, but it absolutely 100% sounds like a hardware issue. [15:48] i'll be working for hours, then suddenly, typing makes me sound like i'm insane, sticking "r" into everything [15:48] lotuspsychje> that's what I tough... It's on the to do list [15:48] Lunatic: i reccomend 14.04.2 64bit then with internet cable + updates enabled during setup [15:48] nicomachus: i understand, but i have found this issue reported elsewhere [15:48] it is not hardware [15:48] i am typing on the keyboard right now [15:48] it's fine [15:48] psensor dont retrive amd temp [15:48] and the replies all say "it's your keyboard"... [15:49] Lunatic: maybe with eth cable, your atheros driver will work better? [15:49] yeah and the guys keep saying that doesnt change things [15:49] http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/72971-35-keyboard-types-wrong-characters [15:50] when I open up settings/display and alter my settings, what's actually going on behind the scenes to adjust my display settings?

[15:50] Lunatic: sudo lshw -C network [15:50] so what is yalls idea for backup solutions for both documents(easy access/small) and video(long term/large) [15:50] lotuspsychje> thanks [15:50] VonGuardian: that link was a NumLock issue. I am still convinced its a hardware issue. [15:50] dfib: an external hd :p [15:50] i will install the radeon hd driver from amd [15:51] multi solutions may be required. but i think dropbox for the documents. but how do i store 3tb of videos? [15:51] !backup | dfib [15:51] dfib: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning === zero is now known as Guest49549 [15:51] but i was unsure of choosing bw R5 or HD8xxxm series [15:51] vinod777: thats not certain gpu will be cooler with that driver [15:51] well i wasnt sure if anyones used aws or knows of a cheaper solution. i just want something offsite [15:52] but im looking into it now [15:52] iam downloading the HD driver [15:52] the integrated one is R5 [15:52] dfib, i use rdiff-backup to a remote site NAS [15:52] for documents it's a good solution since it keeps a delta of the file [15:52] so you can restore to a certain point in the document's history [15:52] version control would be awesome. ill look into that [15:53] lspci shows only R5 [15:53] but amd has R5 2xx series [15:53] carter1: I discovered a really bad thing about rdiff-backup the other day. [15:53] oh? [15:53] I use duplicity [15:53] (oh. look. this is why i ask jpds. i dont wanna get stuck with bad things haha) [15:53] carter1: If you're midway through a backup and your connection fails, it'll start the backup again from the beginning. [15:54] I feel like gpu i cooler on xorg driver [15:54] oh, well, i suppose that would be most backup solutions. is this restart all files? or the file its currently on?) [15:54] ah, yeah, it does do that [15:54] carter1 / dfib: Of the alternatives, I think rsnapshot doesn't have the issue. [15:54] not a problem in my situation, but yeah dfib should be aware of that [15:54] i have a dedicated fiberline to my remote site xD [15:54] Haven't actually tried rsnapshot myself though. [15:54] vinod777: you have cool n quiet enabled in bios? [15:55] dfib, although given the amount of storage you require, finding "cheap" is not going to be that easy afaik. [15:55] np jpds. just need software names to research [15:55] thats the best thing,.. my hp latptop has only boot settings in BIOS [15:55] no other settings are available [15:55] well, thats why i need two storage solutions. large long term, and then easy document small storage [15:55] vinod777: did you try F10 or F12 [15:55] dfib: Amanda, Bacula, backuppc, dulicity, rdiff-backup, rsnapshot. [15:55] dfib, sorry I was just focusing on the larger storage bit. [15:56] F10 [15:56] dfib, is this videos directory mostly static? [15:56] vinod777: some hp's have hidden bios [15:56] ok i will check [15:56] i might use rdiff/dropbox for docs. and the video/images/iso/backups would be mostly static [15:56] hey my friend is trying to install ubuntu via windows 7 on a dell inspiron on some software called virtual box [15:56] Hallo there. I have a problem regarding permissions and apache2. I set the www-data folder to /mnt/hdd/httpd and added myself to the www-data group. Everytime I upload a picture from my user, it's permission denied. I have set permissions for read/write too, didn't help much. Tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/19898/whats-the-simplest-way-to-edit-and-add-files-to-var-www [15:56] he gets it running but stuff dissapears etccc... [15:56] ill have a local copy. i just want offsite for disaster recovery. my 3tb harddrives are finnicy at best [15:56] vinod777: maybe this can also help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132433/how-can-i-see-the-gpu-temperture-of-my-ati-graphics-card [15:56] the os fails after a while [15:56] is thhis a driver issue? [15:57] if so how can I fix [15:57] ok [15:57] dfib, hmm. any way you could setup a NAS at a friends house or something? [15:57] thanks [15:57] alchemistswl: Other will need read access on the file and execute on the folder. [15:57] Where did vim go? [15:57] if you have a friend with a tape drive, that would be pretty cheap too [15:57] not worth the investment for 3 T though [15:57] alchemistswl: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys can help a hand? [15:57] "dpkg -L vim" only lists /usr/bin/vim.basic [15:57] dfib, from a cost standpoint that would be the cheapest route. [15:57] Why is there only basic vim? [15:58] wait, you probably don't have the connectors for most tape drives, derp [15:58] Where did the full vim go? [15:58] jpds: sudo adduser www-data; sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/hdd/httpd; sudo chmod -R g+rw /mnt/hdd/httpd I tried [15:58] well, ive gone through 4 3tb harddrives in the past 5 years and they keep dying. the hdd just doesnt stand up for long. so after 400$ im looking at maybe finding ofsite with aws if its cheap (~$20 month) [15:58] dfib, buy better quality drives [15:58] dfib: maybe check cloning on ubuntu [15:59] carter1: lol. probably. [15:59] dfib: look at backblaze data, 3Tb drives are notoriously POS [15:59] i'm serious [15:59] you might consider getting 4 2 tb w/d reds and running them in raid if you're failing that often too [15:59] http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STBV3000100/dp/B00834SJU8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1425916763&sr=8-4&keywords=3tb [16:00] dfib: stick to ubuntu support please [16:00] your probably right. raid would be a good local idea [16:00] oh, my bad. your right lotuspsychje. sorry [16:03] i got what i need. thanks guys! ill look into rsnapshot [16:03] dfib: good luck with it [16:03] Does anyone know where to get full vim on utopic? dpkg -L vim lists only vim.basic... [16:04] How do I get info on my PC's bios? [16:04] specing: try apt-cache search vim [16:05] Lunatic: what kind of info your looking for exactly? [16:05] If my PC is an x51 or an x51 R2 [16:06] LoRez: I did... [16:06] Lunatic: sudo dmidecode -t 0 [16:06] LoRez: there is no "vim-full" or anything similar [16:06] thanxs [16:07] are you looking for like a gui vim LoRez/ [16:07] carter1: I'm not looking for anything. [16:07] specing: I'm pretty sure its just the vim package now, not vim-full [16:08] i'm sorry LoRez, I meant specing [16:08] LoRez: carter1 Pici:https://paste.debian.net/160394/ [16:08] Okay, it's not precised, but I found the version, thanks [16:09] Lunatic: for cpu socket: sudo dmidecode -t 4 [16:09] Hello i cant get my bluetooth working [16:09] !bluetooth | singam [16:09] singam: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [16:09] no it says bluetooth adapter not found [16:10] then i installed ralink 3290 drivers for bluetooth [16:10] couldnt compile so i compiled a patched ralink driver [16:10] Right, I have directory /path/to/dir containing executable file execfile. I have added /path/to/dir to my $PATH variable and re-started my shell, when I try to run execfile I am getting "No such file or directory" errors. Can anyone suggest reasons for this to happen? [16:10] now bluetooth adapter works but cannot pair with any phone [16:11] RobbGG did you do chmod +x ? [16:11] specing: That is the normal vim. vim.tiny is the one you don't want. [16:11] Pici: it is not normal [16:12] specing: Whats missing? [16:12] It is not even remotely normal [16:12] lotuspsychje> I have a bad news, I can't upgrade to 3.5GHz CPU :c but that's not a problem for now, What I was looking for is the name of the PC, Alienware X51 or Alienware X51 R2 [16:12] can anyone help me with bluetooth ? [16:12] Pici: it suddently decides not to obey my commands (simple stuff like arrow left/right, insert) anymore [16:13] Pici: randomly switches insert/replace [16:13] weird all around [16:13] singam: Yep, to all directorys leading up to it and to the exec file it'self [16:13] Lunatic: man dmidecode and check code for motherboard [16:13] !django | cfhowlett [16:13] cfhowlett, please see my private message [16:13] Pici: there are no colours... at all. [16:14] lotuspsychje> yes I should be there thanks [16:14] Pici: only normal and extra white === samba is now known as Guest35292 [16:16] what disk format ubuntu needs [16:16] Pici: pressing END on the keyboard is converting characters to upper case. WTF [16:17] zhan_ the standard is ext4 [16:17] can i make that format in windows? [16:18] Pici: delete is converting them to lower case [16:18] vim.basic is junk [16:18] zhan_ from standard windows no, some programs may be able to. If you want a USB drive that works in both windows and linux FAT(which you can make in windows( works in 99% of the systems [16:18] lets see what vim.tiny does [16:19] * ntsp likes vim.basic [16:19] * ntsp also likes vi === lasko1 is now known as lasko [16:19] ntsp: what program? [16:20] zhan_ no idea, havent used windows in years, if you want to transfer files simply use FAT [16:20] !info vim-gtk | specing [16:20] specing: vim-gtk (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GTK2 GUI.

[16:24] lasko: currently as vim.nox [16:24] i'm just going to ask one time and try to do so more clearly: does anyone know a reason why the partition table on a drive won't mount when i can see the drive and see the partition table and everything looks fine? [16:24] specing: Interesting issue you have lol [16:25] carter1: What errors are you seeing when you attempt to mount? [16:25] it's part of a raid [16:25] it's /dev/sdd [16:25] and for some reason, the raid autodected partition, /dev/sdd1 never loaded [16:25] just the /dev/sdd [16:25] lasko: input is lagging by 3s [16:26] so my raid partition just carried on without it [16:26] carter1: Please try to put everything on one line as much as possibl to prevent people from having to read through multiple lines. [16:26] hrm, okay, sorry about that [16:26] Unfortunately I don't know enough about raid in an ubuntu environment to help carter1 but perhaps someone else will know. [16:27] If I type 'date' in a terminal I get the local time. If I move my laptop to a different timezone does Ubuntu automatically adjust it correctly? How does Ubuntu do this? [16:27] specing: Like -- hitting any key is delayed? [16:27] so I listed the partition table of /dev/sdd using fdisk, and it looks good, and smartctl -a /dev/sdd looks good [16:27] i don't think it's a raid issue lasko, i think it's just the partition table for the drive didn't load on boot, and so the raid couldn't see it [16:27] lasko: it seems so, but the delay increases the more keys I press [16:28] ablegreen_w: You can utilize the command dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to readjust your timezone data [16:28] specing: lol thats just weird.. umm... Is your cpu pegged or low memory by chance? [16:29] lasko: How does it work? [16:29] ablegreen_w: I'm not sure I understand your question. How does what work? The command, or timezones? hehe [16:29] ablegreen_w: You can also set the environment variable TZ. See `man date` for further details. [16:30] lasko: it is pegged on one of two cores, but the main GUI is very responsive [16:30] hello everyone, my downloads are ridiculously slow (a 900mb iso download taking ages)..what can be the reason? [16:30] If you move to another timezone you can click on the Time widget (top right corner) and select Time and Date Settings. From there you can select your region... or you can do it from the command line as I stated [16:30] Is there a way to do it automatically? [16:30] Just curious how OS's do this [16:30] oqoc: server /isp is slow? [16:31] ablegreen_w: Yes, in that same widget there is a radio box to select to do it automatically.

[16:39] no [16:40] i think it installs the 64 bit version [16:41] dopie: And your system is a 32bit arch? [16:41] yeah [16:42] hi~ [16:42] i'm wiki === Wiki is now known as Guest22483 [16:42] is there any good cli tools for clear all meta data of TTF files ? [16:42] but I am not a roo=bot [16:43] Doesn't apt-get install based upon your system architecture though? [16:43] yeah, unless the sources were incorrect [16:44] ubuntu uses multiarch. it can install 32bit stuff on 64bit system. [16:44] but the user is not using the ubuntu repo, is he? i thought he was compiling stuff [16:46] k1l_: Well thats why I was confused. If he just installs cmake through apt-get it should be i386 since his system install is 32bit [16:46] yes [16:47] dopie: so what did you do so far?

[16:53] RobGG sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:53] RobbGG: The compiler is probably relying on a config file rather than the local environment. [16:53] jhutchins: The makefile I'm trying to use specifies the following lines CC := arm-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ LD := arm-unknown-linux-gnu-g++ STRIP := arm-unknown-linux-gnu-strip [16:54] all of these I can run from the shell manually, however when I try to run make it gives the error make: arm-unknown-linux-gnu-g++: Command not found [16:55] RobbGG: So use the full path. [16:55] hello? [16:56] davidfetter_fbn: Not really. [16:57] jhutchins, how about extracting a package to a separate root and diffing that? [17:00] davidfetter_fbn: Yes, and if the files are created by the install scripts you can read those and determine how they were originally. [17:00] hi [17:02] jhutchins, ok, how do i do that extracting? i happen to know which files i want to look at first, if that helps [17:02] * davidfetter_fbn somewhat new to the debuntu-sphere === alia is now known as namaste [17:03] Hello, I am facig the following problem when I type sudo apt-get install build-essential http://justpaste.it/juk9 [17:03] Can you help me, I am not that deep man on Ubuntu [17:03] http://www.faqforge.com/linux/how-to-download-and-extract-a-deb-package-on-ubuntu-or-debian-linux/ <-- trying this...

[17:57] Hi everyone. I have a webserver on my ubuntu 14.10.1 server running apache2. I was an idiot and ran a batch script that installed httpd without realizing it until the last minute and didn't have my backups setup. Now apachectl is reading config files from httpd instead of apache2, so here's my question: I want to run apt-get del httpd, but I want to make sure I don't wipe out any dependencies apache2 needs in [17:57] doing so. Any idea how I can do this right without really screwing up my server? [17:57] yes i did. i went to see the officla topic, but the tweak they gave didn't work [18:05] Literally just installed UBuntu, but can't install any packages.

[18:19] Hi everyone. When I do y=$(git branch) to get all local branch in a variable y (to iterate on after), I have all branches, but also files in the current directory. What's wrong ? [18:20] @dethos Yes, shouldn't be a problem [18:20] geekstay: what's "branch" ? [18:21] imbezol: What " what's "branch" " ? [18:22] @drapslaget tks, do you know where can i find any information about it? [18:22] For example, if I'm on the branch master which has a Makefile file, and I type y=$(git branch) and I iterate on with echo $y, the output is : Makefile master [18:22] And not only master [18:23] @dethos what you just linked is accurate information. The guide is still very much accurate [18:23] @dethos are you looking for more? [18:25] @dethos it's a very simple process really, here's a quick guide http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-create-a-wireless-ad-hoc-network-in-ubuntu [18:26] geekstay: what if you do y="$(git branch)" [18:26] @drapslaget: i asked because the document says that "WPA2 is currently not supported.", and sinse you said it shouldn't be a problem, i wanted to know if there is any place with more information about it. [18:27] imbezol : For example, if I'm on the branch master which has a Makefile file, and I type y=$(git branch) and I iterate on with echo $y, the output is : Makefile master [18:27] yes i saw that [18:27] hey there. I need to remove in some way the request for LVM encryption. Automating key insertion or removing encryption are both acceptable to me. Can someone help me please? [18:28] Anyone here with expeience with accessibility? I have Desktop Zoom turned on for one user (why doesn’t it zoom the menu and locker bar as well??) but the menu entries cannot be reached. The mouse cursor jumps aside as soon as a menu entry is touched. See a video of the behaviour here: http://dna.ik.nu/rinske/Output.mp4 [18:29] good evening [18:29] Is it possible to use the 12.04 verison of skype on 14.04.2? There is no later verison than 12.04 available, although if I can't I can just use the universal (ie. tar) one. [18:30] I have a Raid 1 using MDADM. I'm now preparing to reinstall my machine with a newer Ubuntu version. 11 -> 14lts How do i keep or restore my raid1 afterwards? [18:30] @dethos Gotcha. Missed that [18:30] imbezol : I got it : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3846380/how-to-iterate-through-all-git-branches-using-bash-script. [18:30] So stupid... [18:30] ChristW, I think you have to go system -> preferences -> aspect -> character types or something similar [18:31] Or is no one using Raid anymore nowadays? [18:31] Yuken, you have to use at least Skype 4.3. Any version after this is fine [18:31] drapslaget: np, thanks anyway [18:32] MDADM raid anyone? [18:32] ViperXL75, how are you going to upgrade? [18:34] phryk: was planning on simply do a complete clean install [18:35] have a DVD with Ubuntu burned on it. [18:35] anyone know what one needs to do to the GRUB2 configuration to boot directly to an LVM /boot? [18:36] ViperXL75, Ok, keep in mind that raid volume information will be persistent in your hard drives during installation. I'm not sure if a normal version of Ubuntu has it on the install media. [18:36] wxl: update-grub didn't help? [18:36] hi, i'm trying to install this software: https://www.npmjs.com/package/elasticdump and i did "npm install elasticdump" fine, but when i do "./bin/elasticdump" it gives me "No such file or directory" [18:37] Q: Setting up wordpress for a friend on 14.04, is there any opinion on installing the Ubuntu worpdress package vs installing via the wordpress.org tarball? [18:37] For myself I'd just pull in upstream, but I'm not sure what the apt package looks like and if it would be easier to keep maintained (via system updates) or if it's woefully out of date.... [18:37] phryk: Not sure what you mean with persistent raid volume information. [18:37] ViperXL75, I'm afraid that you have to install madm in live version, proceed with installation, than reboot in a live support, checkroot on your install and add madm on the system [18:38] daftykins: not in my particular case where everything is all FUBARed BUT you just gave me a great idea, so thanks. i'll come back if i need more help. ☺ [18:38] Does your DVD recognise the raid partitions in live? [18:38] oh lemme see [18:38] sec [18:39] phryk_: Can’t find that, at all. Are you sure it could be related? [18:40] Hello, All [18:40] ChristW, what desktop environment are you running? [18:40] hi [18:40] Unity [18:41] phryk_: Unity. I used the Unity Tweak Tool to turn magnification on. [18:41] I really need to add the image of my hand written signature to a multi-page pdf. I cant seem to find an easy way to do this, surprisingly. [18:42] ChristW, Is there a compizconfig-setting-manager somewhere? [18:42] I read some pages that suggested it’s now the Unity Tweak Tool instead... [18:42] linusthebear, I did't get it. You need to add the image on every page? [18:42] Just once, on one page. [18:43] And I’ve just checked that ‘compiz’ does not give me any hits. [18:43] Like signing a document. [18:43] but the whole document is 3 pages. === thomas_ is now known as Guest90242 [18:43] can it be that ubuntu runs its own raid controller now instead of mdadm? [18:43] This is a problem because GIMP wont handle multi page pdf files [18:44] linusthebear, Open page 3 with GIMP, do some copy-paste, export in PDF, than use pdftk to divide and merge pages [18:44] Well, moreover, it can open the pages as layers, but not export a multi page odf [18:44] do not use libreoffice. use gimp [18:44] pdftk - is this a CLI tool? [18:44] yep [18:45] Hmm - yeah Ill try that. [18:45] your pdf will be an image and not a "true" pdf anymore [18:45] it means much more heavy [18:45] That's a crazy workflow for many people I think. [18:45] phryk: It looks like it's not being mounted [18:46] Dam Really, Wow. Why is this such an issue? [18:46] ViperXL75, it's what i thought. It's not so simple indeed [18:46] linusthebear, PDF studio is mentioned here but non-free: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software#Editors_2 [18:47] linusthebear, well, there may be some more tools that i don't know. this is one way. you're trying to do graphical editing and it's not very easy to start [18:47] dangit === Guest90242 is now known as db0x [18:47] Is this yet another non free file format anomaly? Whats the deal with this? On windows theres no problem interacting with PDFs [18:47] ChristW, I havent forgotten you, i'm checking [18:47] Thanks for your feedbacks though. [18:47] Itll work this time... [18:48] linusthebear, thanks adobe for not supporting linux enough [18:49] ViperXL75, maybe you do have better to upgrade changing repos, haven't you? [18:49] phryk_: Thanks! It’s probaby a hard problem... [18:50] linusthebear, this app may feel like overkill (especially if you're not running KDE) but: https://okular.kde.org [18:50] notice the pen tools here: https://okular.kde.org/images/screenies/okular-annotations.png [18:51] I haven't upgraded for a long time indeed. [18:51] linusthebear, have you tried to just import that pdf with libreoffice, stick the image and print as pdf? [18:51] I did install the 'mdadm' in terminal server though [18:51] on the LIVE cd [18:51] ViperXL75, is a server what are talking about? [18:52] i use it as a home server. But it's just old Ubuntu11 desktop 32bit [18:52] It's way better to install ubuntu server edition [18:52] it has all you need inside [18:52] oh [18:52] But what's the catch with server editions? [18:53] Theres no GUI on the server installs. [18:53] I have this one connected to my TV. XBMC running on it. [18:53] i just did a new installation with a software raid 10 [18:53] oh... [18:53] but you have to install the entire DE and all other things [18:53] This guy is doing both filesharing in my home, downloader, Mediaplayer on TV and some other thingies [18:54] ViperXL75, server edition is made for you [18:54] ViperXL75: you really should be running LTS versions :) [18:54] daftykins: yeah... i'm a bit late to find that out [18:54] lol [18:54] phryk_: server for an XBMC/Kodi box on a TV? er, no. [18:54] Now i am sitting on 2Gb of data on my Raid1 [18:54] ViperXL75: try out kodibuntu :) [18:55] dafty: tempting... but i prefer to do things a bit manualy for now [18:55] daftykins, playing with madm on a desktop install is a bit more complicated I think [18:55] he can mess up something [18:55] if for some reason new upgrades comes of Kodi.. i dont wanne end up having to re-install the whole machine. [18:55] phryk_: they are identical, aside from X being on [18:56] You have no idea how much painful it is to get all these things to work just right for me. (I'm a bit picky) [18:56] ViperXL75: ok, but if you have issues getting Kodi going on a server or desktop install of 14.04 LTS, don't say i didn't tell you so :) [18:56] i do have an idea, but i wouldn't make the mistake of combining server + HTPC roles :) [18:56] I think i'll stick to Desktop version. [18:57] daftykins, are you sure on madm? He can't mount his raid on live. I think that desktop edition will not install madm on the system [18:57] yep, wise decision if you run Kodi direct to the TV [18:57] oh wait [18:57] well if your OS is installed on the RAID volume, that sounds out alarm bells to me [18:57] I did install mdadm [18:57] ViperXL75, fwiw I run kubuntu on this pc which is a media server , without server edition since I don't need it, and I just use VLC for any media playback , which works well for our needs, server edition is not really necessary for this kind of setup , if yours is similar [18:57] i just had to do a quick apt-get install of mdadm on the LiveCD [18:58] ViperXL75, you can install it but your system will not have it loaded. so your raid will not be recognised at boot time [18:58] My big pain is.. How do i tell MDADM to take 2 drives who used to work in Raid1 and put them back together to continue working? [18:58] !raid [18:58] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:59] lol [18:59] ViperXL75: it'll likely do it automatically but you will have to tell it where you want to mount them [18:59] daftykins, this isn't the answer [18:59] they're helpful resources [18:59] am i really harming anyone by linking them? :) i don't think so. [18:59] My big question which makes me almost piss in my pants is... will MDADM format/cleanup my 2Tb of data on these drives? [19:00] no mdadm doesn't format [19:00] it just takes the drives and assembles them [19:00] ViperXL75: they have a unique identifier on the drives and when the kernel sees the identifiers it will reassemble the raid [19:00] ViperXL75, can you tell me your configuration please? do a lsblk on a terminal and paste it on pastebin or something similar [19:01] ... [19:01] oh... sec [19:01] hmmm... i think i need to restart it back to the old self [19:01] brb [19:01] Hey all. We built a package and placed it in a local already-working apt repository, but the package couldn't be found by apt-get until an apt-get update was performed. Is this a known bug? [19:01] in ubuntu 12.04? [19:02] that's expected behavior [19:02] that's what update is for [19:02] to update the list of packages in the repos [19:02] but, I would think that if the package couldn't be found in the cache that it would check the repository. [19:03] no. you don't necessarily want to throw away your cache automatically [19:03] ^ [19:03] ViperXL75, your problem is that on desktop editions, there is no madm installed by default. so you'll have to install it manually after the installation. this means that you have to install madm on live, install the system, return on live, chroot on your existing OS, install madm and configure it [19:03] not necessarily throw it away, but treat it like you might treat memcache: get from cache if available, if not then get from db then set into cache. [19:04] bitcycle: there are reasons you'd want it to only work on what's in your cache [19:04] bitcycle: it just doesn't work like you're suggesting [19:04] this should work on any distribution [19:04] imbezol: is there a way to tell it not to use the local cache? [19:04] I do remember in the past that I've done that already. [19:05] It's not the instalation of MDADM that scares me [19:05] bitcycle: yup. "apt-get update && apt-cache search package" [19:05] so what are you afraid of? [19:05] It's the feeling that when i tell MDADM to 'assemble' the two drives into the raid volume that it was, that it will delete the contents of the drives and gimme an empty 2Tb volume to work with [19:06] I did the lsblk by the way. Just not sure if its safe to paste it here. [19:06] mdadm doesn't work that way [19:06] it doesn't delete anything [19:06] paste on pastebin.org [19:06] está me lendo david?

I think that everyone thought that I was running my root installation on the raid. That's not the case. My root installation goes on smaller disk. My downloads/music etc is on this raid. SO its no problem to enable it later. [19:16] zhan_, have you looked in the boot sequence of the BIOS/UEFI for the HDD ? [19:16] I looked at BIOS [19:16] and it doesn't show up [19:17] phryk_: I mean: I turn it on, nad it makes a mess. Even the programmer itself would notice… [19:17] blueskaj: ? [19:19] how do i look into uefi [19:20] zhan_, in the live media open a terminal and do sudo fdisk -l , then run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , X is usually /dev/sda [19:21] so book up the flash, sudo fdisk -1, sudeo grub-install /dev/sda? [19:21] zhan_: minus ell, not minus one. [19:22] k [19:25] fathi [19:28] Hello all === Xano_ is now known as Xano [19:37] so i run grub-install dev/sda1, and it's installing for i385-pc platform [19:38] if i have ubuntu installed in dual bot, can i run it from VM? [19:39] installation failed [19:41] can some1 help me please [19:46] zhan_, give more details: what your specific goal is, what you've tried, specifically how it failed. [19:46] zhan_: Is it an eufi system? [19:46] installed ubuntu through usb, now the HDD doesn't get recognized in BIOS or windows [19:47] when start up from usb it detects installation [19:49] jhutshins: don't know what youre asking [19:51] pbx:? [19:53] zhan_, have a look at this: http://blog.werk21.de/node/88 [19:54] does it apply to your situation? [19:54] whats dmraid [19:54] vs mdraid [19:56] Is tehre an issue with the mirrors right now? I have had a few quirks on a new system that i've never noticed before. Missing key on the EXTRAS repo, so i imported one per a guide (from keyserver.ubuntu.com) - but now I'm getting a hash mismatch on the Backports (trusty) server [19:56] er, repo. [19:56] ... welp, the latter resolved itself, or i popped over to a different mirror - oh well! [19:57] what the fuck do i do [19:58] zhan_: first of all, you don't use that language in here... please [19:58] family friendly atmosphere thanks :) [19:58] zhan, what setting did you use when you installed [19:58] i don't think that it exactly matters as the channel is pretty much a log of people leaving and joining [19:58] cartel: used usb installer [19:58] Hello, I'm trying to finish installing Ubuntu 14.04 as a guest for Hyper V, but it doesn't include the networking drivers and all of the google searches lead to instructions for previous versions that won't work here. [19:58] Can anyone help me out? [19:59] zhan_: I've had lots of success here, and have offered a lot of help here too. Also, that's not a ver zhan-like thing to say. [19:59] what? [20:00] !mirrorstatus [20:00] A list of official repository mirrors and their statuses can be found at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [20:00] zhan_ that's not very helpful [20:00] i used the installer [20:00] how did you partition, what version did you install, there are a lot of variables here [20:00] and you're just saying you installed it [20:00] 14.10 [20:01] i let it partition whole HDD [20:01] so you have one hard drive, and the whole hard drive is now linux? [20:01] supposedly [20:01] and what is your boot order? [20:01] i got couple of HDD [20:01] windows [20:02] and no other option as i mentioned [20:02] so does it boot straight into windows? [20:02] or does it give you a grub screen? [20:02] it lets me choose between windows 8 and windows 8 pro [20:02] no grub [20:02] tried installing rub through sudo grub-install dev/dva1 [20:03] *sda1 [20:03] zhan_: You probably have EFI. [20:03] !efi [20:03] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [20:03] what should i do [20:03] hi!! [20:03] well, a) read the link he gave you [20:03] zhan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [20:04] if you want help though, you need to get better about providing information [20:04] zhan_, do you happen to have an MSI brand laptop? [20:04] any expert in SAMBA? [20:05] android, no [20:05] i run a samba backup doamin controller [20:05] but i'm not an expert by any means [20:05] what's your question? [20:05] zhan_, ok, have you tried to install ubuntu in legacy mode? [20:05] hello carter1 [20:05] hi [20:05] i need help with shares... [20:06] ill try the UFI thing for now [20:06] oh, that shouldn't be too bad [20:06] UEFI [20:06] what are you trying to do? [20:06] y have a parent directory, but inside i want to deny access to one folder to a user, but all [20:07] Doe's anyone here use Bleachbit and if so what do u think of it? [20:07] i had to install ubuntu in legacy mode, then use a different liveusb disk to go back and install another distro, then run update-grub, then change back to efi [20:07] probably the easiest thing would be to create a group with everyone except that one user, and then give the folder group permissions [20:07] !pm [20:07] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [20:09] what security level is the samba server? [20:09] but my share is path = parent/directory, inside i have folder1, folder2 and folder3, all users can access to parent directory, but "baduser" cant not access to folder2 for example, how do it? === jorge is now known as jcastro [20:10] you just chgrp -R allbutbaduser folder2 [20:10] er, actually, there's really no reason for the -R flag [20:10] with chmod? or in the smb.conf? [20:10] so just chgrp it [20:11] no, change the group first [20:11] either chgrp or like chown user:notbadgroup folder2 [20:11] and then chmod it so like 770 [20:11] if it's part of a windows domain, you can also use windows permissions [20:12] right click on it from windwos, go to security, and then add the user, and deny all [20:12] myk_: Can some please help I'm going crazy trying to get this Hardrive mounted. It's formatted msdos OS X journaled [20:12] p [20:12] nt [20:12] sorry, right click, properties, then security tab [20:12] my security level is users and password samba [20:12] Can some please help I'm going crazy trying to get this Hardrive mounted. It's formatted msdos OS X journaled [20:13] p [20:13] nt [20:13] where does "libc-2.19.so" reside and should I have it in 14.04.2? [20:13] fucking great [20:13] i have only two shares in smb.conf [20:13] can't get boot repair either [20:13] Can someone help me with a drive not mounting [20:13] ah yeah, then i'd just use linux permissions [20:13] Mik3Silv3r: I could never get samba to work on recent versions of ubuntu [20:13] Is ther systemd out for 15.04 beta yet? [20:13] DJJeff, it's working on 14.04 for me [20:14] what issues did you have? [20:14] share with all permision for all and equipment1 with valid users = @admins [20:14] yeah, that would work [20:14] carter1 ? [20:14] Mik3Silv3r: mounting ssh in windows 7/8/8.1/10 is easy [20:15] but..... inside of equipment1 is the folder2 and this folder is for baduser [20:15] cxdvty 15.04? [20:15] Mik3Silv3r, then just rearrange the folders [20:15] 16.04 = LTS [20:17] myk_: which device is it? fdisk -l [20:17] Hi on a fresh install i ran sudo apt-get update and it is stuck on dkms install completed [20:18] ok found libc-2.19.so is a part of libc6 [20:19] yes carter1 do you run it? [20:19] hello [20:19] no, i run 14.04 [20:19] all group admins can access for all folders, only baduser cant access to folder2 [20:20] but folder2 is inside of the share Equipment1 [20:20] so...move it [20:20] i have problem with lampp actually with authentication login to phpmyadmin [20:20] or create it as a separate share [20:20] i know my pass but dont know user [20:20] carter1: so are you [20:22] mi idea is that in network places only 2 folders are displayed (share and equipment1) [20:22] Hi on a fresh install i ran sudo apt-get update and it is stuck on dkms install completed [20:22] i have problem with lampp actually with authentication login to phpmyadmin. i know my pass but dont know user [20:23] fizlik user root? [20:23] Harris: update doesn't install anything. [20:23] jhutchins: it was dist-upgrade my bad [20:23] Mik3Silv3r: i do that but still cant login [20:24] fiZLik: Can you get in through the command line client? [20:24] no i know that [20:24] authentication login data [20:24] jhutchins: please [20:25] i have secured phpmyadmin with authentication login [20:25] username root, passwd leave blank [20:25] You can also add to your /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php file this line: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE; === TheEternalAbyss is now known as Guest66232 [20:26] Harris: Give it plenty of time, then kill it. [20:26] fiZLik: Do you have root access in the console? [20:26] site require username and password. Site say 'xampp_user [20:26] jhutchins: it happens everytime i run dist-upgrade [20:26] what do i do [20:26] ls [20:27] Harris: aptitude -f install [20:27] Hello, I'm trying to finish installing Ubuntu 14.04 as a guest for Hyper V, but it doesn't include the networking drivers and all of the google searches lead to instructions for previous versions that won't work here. === Guest66232 is now known as TheEternalAbyss [20:27] Harris: if that hangs, shutdown -fR now (to check the disk). [20:27] Mik3Silv3r, you might also think about a better security level if you want more fine-grained permissions [20:27] what the hell is the update-software process? [20:27] It is devouring my PC [20:28] Mik3Silv3r: this is ok === john-dadis is now known as thechitowncubs [20:29] what the hell is the update-software process? [20:29] Sorry if I double posted i just regged didn't know if it went through [20:29] jhutchins: what is wrong with my fresh install [20:29] jhutchins: yeah everything work fine i just cant login to phpmyadmin [20:30] carter1: i try with groups and chmod but i dont have idea how... [20:30] fiZ cat /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.MYD [20:30] fiZLik: cat /var/lib/mysql/mysql/user.MYD [20:30] fiZLik : Great! :-) [20:30] fiZLik: Have you created any users? [20:30] jhutchins: [20:30] you have a group admins that each user except baduser is part of [20:31] Harris: Darned if I know what's wrong with it. [20:31] then just give the directory like a chown user:group folder2 [20:31] when i installed lampp he ask me just for pass not for user [20:31] and chmod 770 folder2 [20:31] i didnt [20:31] jhutchins: please [20:31] OerHeks: [20:31] Harris: The two steps I suggested will move toward figuring it out. [20:32] carter1 ok i try it [20:32] unix permissions always take priority over samba permissions [20:32] which helps [20:32] but make sure like guest and things are turned off [20:32] and be sure the create mask is 770 [20:32] ok [20:32] jhutchins: if i reinstall the os will it fix [20:33] yeap guest ok = no [20:33] valid users="admins [20:34] jhutchins: nothing there about mysql [20:34] chmod -R 0770 for all folders and the baduser´s folder chmod -R 0777 i correct? [20:34] yeah, but do a chown too [20:34] to set the group === arun_ is now known as arunpyasi [20:40] how to remove authetication login? [20:41] ok [20:41] owner or group? [20:41] or is the same command? [20:41] carter1? [20:42] oh, it's user:group [20:42] like Mik3Silv3r:admin [20:43] chown bdauser:villains ? [20:43] chown baduser:villains ? [20:46] if i add just a plain text file with cron commands to /etc/cron.d, it runs them right? [20:47] nothing else you have to do? [20:47] anyone have solution for me? [20:48] whats the lightest weight floating window manager/similar to XFCE? [20:49] thechitowncubs: TWM, probably :P [20:49] fiZLik: auto login you want? [20:49] go into users in system settings [20:49] JWM probably slightly less hideous [20:50] I can't connect to this drive So the drive is working perfectly it's coming from a Mac tower that I just ran an update on and now I can't access the drive. It seems the drive is msdos formatted but it's 1tb OSXjournaled [20:50] what's that command again to tell MDADM to take 2 HDDs which used to work together, and re-create the Raid1 again with them? Is that 'assemble ? [20:51] viper, first, look at cat /proc/mdstat [20:51] and then yeah, you can assemble them, and then remember you have to mount the assembled drive [20:51] I have ubuntu installed and was wondering if there is a way to get this drive connected [20:51] carter: and then the old data which was on both drives will come back... right? [20:52] if everything goes well, yes [20:52] daftykins: i have that but what is my username for authentication login [20:52] Hello all [20:52] daftykins: i know to login into phpmyadmin [20:52] create1 restarting services and testing...

[20:54] checking [20:54] me? [20:54] ldaftykins: something like when you login to your router settings [20:54] oh.. not yet.

[22:04] can any one help me with regex please [22:04] kro2488, easiest way is to install a gui for the already installed ufw, sudo apt-get install gufw # and you can enable it in systemsettings [22:05] kro2488: what are you talking about, fix your firewall to work with outlook and gmail? [22:06] im talking about using thunderbird [22:06] with the firewall up it doesnt work [22:06] i have a gmail and outlook account in it [22:07] kro2488: is the firewall running on your linux machine?

[22:20] teward: do I need to worry about incoming with the email client? [22:20] every other distro I've tested this with does... as does 14.04 [22:21] s/are/after/ [22:21] kro2488: what are you actually trying to achieve here though? [22:21] the google is not proving fruitful with answering the question [22:22] kro2488: is this one box's configuratoins, or is this a border firewall/router/NAT setup [22:22] but there is no apt package for dhclient - it's a part of the base system... but not in minbase [22:22] teward: i just wann amake sure im allow access to my machine through tho servers in a safe way [22:22] if i just leave the port open, anything can go through it besides email right? [22:22] kro2488: you shouldn't be concerned about OUTSIDE -> INSIDE [22:22] teward: i guess that makes sense [22:23] kro2488: your mail clients are going to go INSIDE -> OUTSIDE, and then as long as there's RELATED,ESTABLISHED allowed in the inboud rules (i thin kufw does this by default) then the 'related traffic' on the return trip is allowed and permitted [22:23] kro2488: however, you usually don't need that strict a control set for outboudn traffic on an endpoint client machine [22:23] in a corporate environment, you might, but you can do that at the border firewall === cls is now known as Guest40212 [22:24] kro2488: also consider that doing port-restrictions can be a futile attempt - you can make pretty much any protocol work with pretty much any port, really, even for the 'most commonly accepted' port(s) for a given protocol [22:26] tedward: thanks, I think it sworkign right now after i followed your advice [22:26] i followed all of the steps to reset password in recoverymode and when i boot back when i type in new password ubunu says it is wrong [22:26] ok i got this error while installing pakages..... what do i do?! [22:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571175/ [22:30] roger3415: ah, 'dhclient' program seems to be called something else: 'isc-dhcp-client' [22:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571192/ [22:30] ok i got this error while installing pakages..... what do i do?! [22:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571175/ [22:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571192/ [22:31] the second one is: just use one instance of package managment. dont run serveal apt-get or softwarecenter or updater at once [22:39] Hello Guys [22:40] You're out of character! [22:40] ikr [22:40] I am Groot!! [22:40] :) [22:40] Better! [22:41] one other curious thing with the firewall, i know its not letting me view live webcam streams on websites, i guess flash player uses certain ports for that? [22:41] Yesterday, i was here with a problem that i was having with my Ubuntu installation where there were black borders around my windows and my terminal also turned black [22:42] freaky groot [22:42] ;) [22:42] dreamcat^: you could also try the command line sudo apt-get dhclient [22:42] I was able to fix that by restoring a backup i made about a month ago [22:42] you mean black all round [22:42] not just at time [22:42] kro2488: again, a case I believe of your firewall being too restrictive. [22:42] top [22:42] Yea kro2488 [22:42] is there a way to see connection attempts? [22:42] im curious [22:42] its everywhere [22:42] kro2488: wireshark [22:43] kro2488: but you'll get a *lot* of packet data [22:43] teward, oh sh lol [22:43] teward: so its like needle in a haystack [22:43] kro2488: the trouble with a restrictive OUTPUT / OUTBOUND set is that you can't account for all those things [22:43] i did researches and it happens to happen on Nvidia VGAs but i had intel VGA [22:43] kro2488: if you really want to have a 'good' setup, you set up squid or something on your network as a web gateway to handle 'good' vs, 'bad' traffic, or something similar [22:44] That was the second time i encountered that problem [22:44] teward; is that in the app store? or command line install [22:44] kro2488: but if you're truly going to restrict every outbound bit of data via firewall you're going to run into a 'Kobayashi Maru' like scenario [22:44] kro2488: wireshark's in the repositories if that's what you mean [22:44] but you shouldn't set up squid or anything on your endpoint client / machine [22:44] After restoring my backup of the whole ubuntu installation, the problem goes away [22:45] kro2488: and by 'Kobayashi Maru' scenario, I mean a situation where you're going to have to open up a ***lot*** of ports to make things work as intended [22:45] But it comes back again eventually, just like a time bomb waiting to explode [22:45] teward: so i was referrring to wireshark its in there too? [22:45] kro2488: so, back to my initial question, what's your ultimate goal here? Restriction of outbound traffic, or preventing inbound traffic from reaching your system to do data [22:45] I'm coming into this late Groot, but is it possibly tied to an update/upgrade? [22:45] i just don't wanna get hacked or get a virus or malicious anything [22:45] I was wondering if there was anyway someone here today knows how to fix this graphic glitch?? [22:45] kro2488: it should be, but as i said, it'll return a lot of extra data than what you're seeking - it's a packet analysis tool, and can grba everything [22:46] kro2488: then doing what you're doing via a firewall is not what you need [22:46] BobTheSkull: No i didnt try to update [22:46] I am on ubuntu 14.04 as at now [22:46] hey can you pm me teward === zero is now known as Guest72336 [22:47] And i dont have a stable internet connection at my place for an update [22:47] Gotcha. Only thing I could think of. [22:48] kro2488: sure, check your PMs - also note that i'm on the train, the wifi isn't the best [22:49] But it all started after i did a backup of my / directory, formatted the ubuntu partition, extended it, then reinstalled ubuntu from a flash drive and then restore my backup. [22:49] I had to fix grub tho [22:49] since then, i encounted this problem for the first time. [22:49] so software center needs a restart which I gave, but it still didn't install stuff [22:51] At bootup, there is an error right before the logon screen appears saying it couldnt mount a partition [22:52] I checked all my partitions and found out they are all working except for the swap partition, i had to manually mount it via the program disks. When i do, it asks me to enter my password [22:53] any1 knows what my problem? [22:53] I-am-Groot, is swap in fstab? [22:53] clmclm: Could u break it down a bit for me?? [22:54] where is fstab?? [22:54] I-am-Groot, if you 'cat /etc/fstab' you see all partitions that are mountet on start. is the swap partition there [22:55] hold on as i check === THK_away is now known as THK [22:57] clmclm: it says [22:57] # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation [22:57] UUID=6adef265-d8c7-4390-b701-3efbf311418b none swap sw 0 0 [23:00] I-am-Groot, that looks okay [23:00] u sure?? [23:00] check this out [23:00] http://pastebin.com/2fVZk5PJ [23:00] i dont think it is [23:00] I-am-Groot, yes and the swap must not be mounted [23:01] I-am-Groot, which partition fails to mount? [23:01] really?? [23:01] the swap partition [23:01] right now swap is not active [23:01] i have to mount it in disk before it becomes active [23:01] I-am-Groot, can you 'sudo swapon /dev/sda5' ? [23:02] okay [23:02] clmclm: its now saying [23:02] swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument [23:03] <_blizzy_> so, I'm in vagrant using Ubuntu trusty 64. in terminal, it reads [23:03] <_blizzy_> "vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64" [23:04] <_blizzy_> is there a way to change what comes before the @ or after the @? [23:04] I-am-Groot, dif the UUID's in /etc/fstab with lsblk -f [23:04] I-am-Groot, make 'sudo mkswap /dev/sda5' before [23:05] if they are the same your fstab should be fine [23:06] anyone know how i can look into recent changes in IP address associated with a domain ? [23:07] positive: google: dns history [23:07] Ammon and clmclm: Check this out [23:07] Amm0n, how does lsblk show uuid?

[23:08] I-am-Groot, post 'sudo blkid /dev/sda6' [23:09] clmclm lsblk -f shows UUID's to me [23:09] I-am-Groot, it's a one liner, you can do it here [23:09] /dev/sda6: UUID="325fe35d-c48f-4fe5-92bd-9af49e2e7b46" TYPE="swap" [23:10] I-am-Groot, and there's the problem [23:10] yea [23:10] I-am-Groot, change the /etc/fstab file UUID to the one you just posted [23:11] I-am-Groot, be careful with that. it's the second UUID [23:11] okay [23:11] ookay === Yukitteru is now known as Yukkii [23:12] clmclm:Where can i find the fstab file?? [23:12] I-am-Groot, /etc/fstab [23:13] there is only fstab.d in the etc directory [23:13] I-am-Groot, you posted your fstab a few minutes ago -> http://pastebin.com/2fVZk5PJ [23:14] bash: cd: /etc/fstab: Not a directory [23:14] so has anyone experinced any cool linux based games?

[23:15] ookay [23:16] transportation [23:16] i was searching for a directory ;) [23:16] transport with trains etc [23:18] so how do i let sofware center to install software that needs restart, cuz just restart doesn't help [23:18] AND IS THERE NO FUCKING FAN CONTROL APP FOR THE IDIOTS [23:18] zhan_: don't swear please [23:18] hi [23:18] ill try [23:18] you momma [23:18] *your [23:18] anybody knows the stream for bbc world news [23:19] use youtube [23:19] would be nice to play it through my radio tray [23:19] you tube?

[Undecided,Invalid] [23:33] clmclm: it works!!!! [23:34] the error didnt show at boot and it mounted swap on its own [23:34] I-am-Groot, good :) [23:34] But i still dont know what causes the black boarders to appear around my windows [23:35] It hasnt happened as we chat, but it will [23:35] as it has happened twice [23:36] I-am-Groot, you get black borders after a few minutes or after start? [23:36] clmclm: Nope, it happens randomly === AlphaTech is now known as AlphaTech|AWAY [23:37] It has happened twice and the only way i could fix it was by reinstalling ubuntu and restoring a backup i made of the / directory [23:37] I-am-Groot, well that's a strange behaviour. do you have a second monitor [23:37] after the restore, it happens again after two to three weeks [23:37] Yea [23:38] I-am-Groot, I'm pretty sure you don't have reinstall the whole system [23:38] I have a second monitor [23:38] ookay [23:38] I-am-Groot, can you pastebin me 'xrandr'= [23:38] ? [23:39] ookay [23:39] hold on [23:40] I-am-Groot, to make it clear: do you get black borders around the whole screen or around windows? [23:41] http://pastebin.com/6tYkJpqt [23:41] around the windows [23:41] and the terminal becomes black [23:41] nice FF 36 update [23:42] I-am-Groot, that's the first time I hear that, but it's a known bug.

[23:52] but it wouldnt work [23:52] _blizzy_: obviously be 100% sure that you can't get what you want in packages first [23:53] <_blizzy_> daftykins, it's node.js [23:53] clmclm: The problem still occured when i used the other desktop environment(forgotten its name) [23:53] its found on the login screen [23:54] _blizzy_: yeah that means nothing to me :) [23:54] i've been seeing the following errors/warnings in dmesg for the last month or so ever since upgrading my ubuntu box. theres a similar launchpad bug filed that says its been fixed but im not sure if its the same. can anyone tell me what the errors actually mean? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571563/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1402764 [23:54] <_blizzy_> daftykins, thanks. [23:54] Launchpad bug 1402764 in linux (Ubuntu Trusty) "WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4940 at /build/buildd/linux-3.13.0/mm/truncate.c:652 pagecache_isize_extended+0xfd/0x110() in 3.13.0-43-generic " [Medium,Fix released] [23:54] as in, i'm not familiar with it - that is [23:55] <_blizzy_> daftykins, oh, well thanks. [23:56] I-am-Groot, the black border problem? u mean gnome? [23:57] clmclm: Yea [23:57] it apppeared there also [23:57] <_blizzy_> gr33n7007h, I'm getting a curl error [23:57] <_blizzy_> this is what I'm typing [23:57] so i begun to think it was a graphic driver issue [23:57] as that was the cause of the problem for those with nvidia cards [23:57] <_blizzy_> curl nodejs.org/dist/v0.12.0/node-v0.12.0.tar.gz | tar -zxvf [23:58] I-am-Groot, yes it's not a problem/bug of the desktop environment but of compiz [23:58] <_blizzy_> "tar: option requires an argument -- 'f' [23:58] <_blizzy_> " [23:58] but i had no idea to downgrade to the inbuilt graphics driver ubuntu uses by default [23:58] ookay [23:59] <_blizzy_> nvm, I figured it out. thanks, gr33n7007h and everyone else who helped. [23:59] I once updated my vga drivers by use of the intel graphics installer for linux [23:59] and begun to think that, that could be the reason why [23:59] clmclm:What is compiz??
