[00:43] thanks [00:43] oookay [00:44] so it should be "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel" right?? [00:44] correct, although this entire approach isn't gonna net any benefit most likely [00:44] hi [00:44] i need some help installing ubuntu [00:44] can someone help me a little?

[00:48] I know i am being a pain in the a** but i would be happy if someone could help me downgrade my vga drivers [00:48] I-am-Groot: what did you do to upgrade them? [00:48] I-am-Groot: run the intel uninstaller if that's what you did originally. [00:49] not all this guesswork people are goading you into :) [00:49] i used the intel graphics installer [00:50] i dont know if that got a uninstall switch. if so, use it [00:50] I-am-Groot: yep and i'm suggesting to run the intel graphics uninstaller [00:50] daftykins: there is no uninstall package, just the installer === AustinTheGrey_Aw is now known as AustinTheGrey [00:51] when i open the installer, it only tries to install but fails [00:51] so you're saying it was never on? [00:52] and why is it failing? [00:52] details matter. [00:52] i remember running it after installation [00:52] so i guess its on [00:52] I just had 2 applications quit launching - any idea on what to do ? === DiddyKong is now known as Guest45263 [00:54] I-am-Groot: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "dpkg -l | grep linux | pastebinit" [00:54] I cant create folders in /var/www/html .

[00:55] sgen: yes, you need to add write permission to the group on that path. [00:56] hi [00:56] sgen: show us a pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu.com ) of "ls -al /var/www/" to confirm. [00:56] I am not really sure how to disable nomodeset [00:56] nicolaas: you're actually enabling it, to allow boot [00:56] I can enter the command line on startup [00:56] but once I click "instal" I get the black screen only [00:56] thanks daftykins, not very knowlegable of linux though [00:57] ok sorry daftykins [00:57] I am not sure how to enable it. [00:57] nicolaas: are you getting the white text on black background, or the menu where you pick a language etc etc? [00:57] I can also set some install options - something about casper and initrd, etc... [00:57] daftykins: no [00:57] yunes: huh? none of my messages have been to you so far i'm afraid [00:58] nicolaas: err you can't say no to "this or this?" questions :D [00:58] my fault misread [00:58] daftykins: I have write permissions [00:58] one sec Ill paste the dir [00:58] just the first option: install Ubuntu (or run from USB). I click install and then i get the black scrreen [00:58] if I choose run from USB I get the purple screen and then nothing [00:59] if I choose "check disk" I get the black screen also. [00:59] nicolaas: click? is this inside Windows or something 0o [00:59] what do you mean daftykins? [01:00] nicolaas: hang on... [01:00] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/MMRw9wrP [01:00] daftykins: Here u go http://paste.ubuntu.com/10571834/ [01:01] nicolaas: when you boot, do you see: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png *OR* http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445119.png ? [01:02] sgen: you see the way the octal permissions are laid out on the left hand side? it goes "user, group, world". your group does not have a w, so you cannot write :) run "sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html" [01:02] I-am-Groot: 14.04 right? how come your install isn't even up to date? [01:03] daftykins: i see somethig link http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png, but I can also see the other one, depending on the type of boot I choose... I guess this one: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png is the useful one? [01:03] daftykins: Got it. Another question: should /var/www be owned by www-data:www-data or root:www-data [01:03] nicolaas: is ubuntu going to be the only OS on this computer? [01:03] because i i dont have a stable internet to download updates [01:03] i would have to visit an internet cafee for that [01:03] sgen: www-data:www-data is fine, but /var/www/html is the document root of apache, not /var/www/ anymore. so put files in /var/www/html/ [01:04] daftykins: thanks! [01:04] np [01:05] I-am-Groot: ok so "sudo apt-get purge intel-linux-graphics-installer" [01:05] Daftykins: Is it necessary i update before i downgrade my vga drivers?? [01:05] ookk [01:05] no i just found it very odd you aren't up to date [01:06] daftykins: yes ... only ubuntu... btw, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! [01:06] ookay [01:06] since you've been experiencing issues, the #1 thing would normally be to update :> [01:06] so i just runned the command and its done. [01:06] oooaky [01:06] So is it done?? [01:06] I-am-Groot: now "sudo apt-get autoremove" [01:07] nicolaas: no problem. yeah it doesn't matter which way you boot then, there is no benefit really either way. EFI boot would be fine, (the white text on black background) boot it then press 'e' on the 'Try' option and edit the line so it reads "quiet splash nomodeset" then hit ctrl+x i think it is [01:07] might be shift+F10 [01:08] daftykins: done! [01:08] it only removed ttf-ancient-fonts [01:08] sec [01:09] did i read something about ubuntu dropping support for mbit or something? cause i just tried launching mbit from a computer and it said something about "terminated" so i had to go with freenode [01:10] mibbit? [01:10] I-am-Groot: mmm, ok now i'm gonna need... "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | pastebinit" [01:11] mibbit has been banned for use on freenode for a very long time [01:11] daftykins: 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 karma points your way.

[01:12] bazhang: yeah my bad, mibbit [01:12] RepThem1: its banned from freenode since 2009. [01:12] 2009-06-19 As of today we have disabled access to the freenode irc network via mibbit. While there are numerous reasons for this, it ultimately comes down to the ability to prevent abuse via this client [01:13] I-am-Groot: uuuuugh. that is a real mess. [01:13] huh? :o [01:13] !ppa-purge | I-am-Groot you need to use this to remove the PPA [01:13] daftykins: yes ... one more question... should i use LVM? [01:13] I-am-Groot you need to use this to remove the PPA: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [01:13] is that cool?

I've never come across a BIOS where I can't just disable uefi [03:59] ablest1980, true. system ID should be about the middle of the readout [03:59] Hi guys I hope some one here could help me :D I want to write some BASH code then I put #!/bin/bash in the first line of my script but when I run $ sh myscript.sh, I still run as dash because it give me error of syntax. When I run $ bash myscript.sh, it works. Why #!/bin/bash does not work? Thanks. [04:00] Any logrotate takers? [04:00] why would postrotate not do anything even though I can "see" it happening when I run logrotate -vdf myrotate_script [04:01] i switched to ubuntu for my desktop and i tried to boot from usb in my windows 7 laptop to do it there and it didnt work and i was messing around with the boot order and i accidentally deleted the option to boot from usb in the bios [04:01] how do i recreate that option? [04:01] kro2488, go back to bios and reset to defaults [04:01] yeahhh it didnt work [04:01] i tried that [04:01] it stayed the same [04:02] kro2488, contact the manufacturer or consult your system documentation [04:02] aight [04:02] alright [04:03] jasonwhite_: Try using ./myscript.sh instead of using sh or bash.

[04:07] Check bios? [04:07] ablest1980, also System Information [04:07] i have pnly says hp pavilion g6 series [04:08] then look on the notebook itself, you can't get the information from software [04:08] only windows sticker [04:08] then join ##hardware since this is not an Ubuntu issue [04:12] ablest1980, if windows is present, you can find it in System Information [04:14] are there logrotate pros here?

That does seem a little excessive. I typically see about 10% decrease in network speed over VPN.

Fastboot and Secure Boot have been disabled but the machine will still not boot from USB. [05:08] wagtag: your trying single boot ubuntu or dualboot? [05:08] lotuspsychje, the router firewall is disabled and it is set up to allow all traffic to everywhere, it changes nothing. The other devices on the network can share with each other, windows can reach windows, mac can reach windows, windows can reach mac, it is only the ubuntu devices which can neither share files nor access them. [05:09] lost: not sure then mate sorry, you can try #samba also perhaps [05:10] ah great, that would be the fourth time in as many months I've gone to #samba, it always ends up with editing fstab and smbconf to such a degree that I end up reimagine the machine to fix their experiments [05:11] I wish there was a way i could get feedback to the ubuntu devs, I would ask for two things. sharing with windows and opening android devices :( [05:11] lotuspsychje: I'd prefer to just wipe windows and just have ubuntu [05:12] wagtag: how did you create ubuntu sb? [05:12] usb [05:14] I downloaded the 14.04 64-bit ISO and then used Pen Drive Linux's USB installer to format and create the bootable usb [05:14] wagtag: did you test the usb on another machine to see if it works? [05:15] wagtag: if you say fastboot and secureboot is disabled, should work [05:16] lotuspsychje: works on older computer but it isn't a good test because it doesn't have UEFI [05:18] wagtag: how did you disable secureboot without uefi then? [05:18] lotuspsychje: I totally expected it to work. Not sure where it is failing. When I set the boot order to USB first or choose it from Boot Override it just reboots to Windows [05:19] lotuspsychje: sorry, my other machine I used to verify the usb doesn't have uefi [05:19] wagtag: there is a trick from windows to boot into your uefi [05:19] wagtag: ask in the ##windows channel howto [05:19] lotuspsychje: oh? good to know.

Everything went smooth but the resolution stuck on 640x(idk). I read in a Ubuntu forum that it needs a newer GuestAdditions release, so I downloaded and installed VBoxGuestAdditions_4.3.8 but the problem stays. Is this a known issue and maybe already a standart solution I'm missing while searching? [07:13] h41work: I've had that issue before on another box. After installing the VBOXGuest stuff do you now get an option in the menu to change to "Full Screen" -- or Seamless Mode? [07:13] Also make sure "Auto-resize Guest Display is selected in the View menu. [07:15] lasko: the auto resize option is checked. the fullscreen option does not change the resolution and seamless mode is greyed out [07:15] And have you rebooted guest? [07:15] yup [07:16] h41work: Here is usually my "checklist" if you will. Mount the VBOX Media again and manually run the VBOXLinuxAdditions.run script --- and once that is complete, reboot, and recheck the View menu. Seamless shouldn't be grayed out, otherwise the vbox guest additions did no install properly. [07:17] When I say reboot, I mean the guest host. [07:17] My cron doesn't support weekday abbreviations like * * * * mon-sun, why? [07:17] 3.0pl1-120ubuntu4 is my version... [07:19] lasko: I'll check why seamless mode is greyed out. Thank you and have a nice day.

[07:26] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#CRON_expression [07:26] I've never seen this not work, which boggles my mind. [07:27] I think if you want to use CRON expressions you have to use commas and not dashes. [07:27] example -- * * * * MON,TUE,WED [07:28] as seen in the example you provided. [07:29] http://www.nncron.ru/help/EN/working/cron-format.htm [07:29] Nah, it seems to work both ways. :/ [07:29] I dont see any examples that you've provided that show the expressions used with - (dashes) instead of commas. [07:31] I just hate the fact that cron doesn't give me an error [07:32] http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Connect/en/Writing_a_CRON_Expression [07:32] He used the example: "0 15 10 ? * MON-FRI" [07:32] Dont get me wrong. I'm not saying you are /wrong/ -- I was just stating the documentation doesn't specify you can -- but it also doesn't specify you /cant/ -- To me thats a documentation flaw, as well as a bug that should report errant syntax. [07:33] Yeah. I'm thinking my best bet is to convert these to just numbers [07:33] No fancy syntax [07:33] crystal77: Go check out the launchpad bug page and see if a bug exists for it --- and if not, report one. [07:34] citing that page -- which actually does not the MON-FRI syntax. [07:34] does show* [07:35] And no errors are appearing in /var/log/syslog for that cron job/ [07:35] Nope, tailing it right now :/ [07:35] changed it all to commas to see if anything shows [07:36] cron[17779]: Error: bad day-of-week; [07:36] Oops, well at least I know my new change broke it === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [07:50] I was updating the version of Ubuntu and it was not done completely as my pc got shut down.

I was wondering whether (e.g. using udev) I can add a linked copy of a network interface device. The reason is that on a sever there are multiple network interfaces having names such as "em0", "em1", etc. However, to run a licensed copy of a development tool, there needs to be an "eth0" device so that the software can derive the mac address and check whether the license is correct. [10:02] Does the graphical copy paste copy over the hidden and system files inside folders as well? [10:02] I needed to downgrade my intel vga driver from i915 to a stable version, but i wasnt able to get it done because the dev that was helping me out went to bed [10:03] That brings me to my question, can someone help me downgrade my intel graphic driver from i915 [10:06] gg [10:07] hi :) [10:08] Anyone??

[10:09] why is that?Ben64 [10:09] i915 isn't unstable, and even if it were, what would you downgrade to? === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [10:11] I-am-Groot: didnt we have that topic last night? [10:11] k1l:We did but Daftykins went to bed before we could finnish [10:11] 1) is the driver an issue? 2) you used that intel video driver updater thing. did you look if that got an uninstall process? [10:11] he asked me to remove some ppa [10:12] k1l: It didnt have an uninstall process [10:13] are there any older versions from the amd graphics card drivers? the newest version gives me a blackscreen after restarting (also the same happens under windows) [10:14] brb [10:14] lyze:I also experience a similar issue, but mine has black borders all around my windows, pop ups, terminal becomes black etc [10:15] This problem with Ubuntu is making it a pain in the a** to use [10:15] back [10:15] I-am-Groot: what did ya say?

[10:19] doesn't tax the hardware [10:19] hmm ok [10:20] Hi, I just installed the Ubuntu vivid daily, now when I maximize my terminator window it is dimming my screen, but only when I maximize it on my second monitor (dual monitor setup).

[10:25] Prigit: Are u saying i should do a fresh install of ubuntu? [10:25] looking through the log from last time you were here, i don't see any confirmation that you actually removed the PPA [10:26] I did. Just tell me a command that i can use to check [10:26] so that i send it via pastebin [10:27] Ben64: Check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/10573739/ [10:27] "cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*list" [10:27] Does the graphical copy paste copy over the hidden and system files inside folders as well?

[10:38] what did ppa-purge tell you? [10:40] It didnt tell me anything. I used sudo nautilus t launch nautilus in root mode and went over to /etc/apt/soureces.list.d and deleted the intel files [10:40] Did i screw up?? [10:40] :/ [10:41] in a couple ways, probably. shouldn't do sudo nautilus or delete system files you aren't 100% sure of [10:41] OOkay [10:41] So did that get the work done?? [10:42] I mean did it get rid of the intel ppa?? [10:43] is anybody there? [10:43] I-am-Groot: well, sure. see if 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' makes stuff work maybe [10:43] I-am-Groot: getting rid of the PPA is good if you got rid of the Files that are installed from that PPA first. so like the driver. [10:43] OOh Yea.. [10:44] k1l: I did that yesterday [10:44] I-am-Groot: now you have the packages installed and the system doesnt know where they are from and how to handle them. [10:44] I-am-Groot: so the issue with the intel are gone? [10:44] Nope [10:45] I want to downgrade the intel driver to the default one that ubuntu ships with [10:45] ... [10:45] because as i said earlier, the black border thingy happens again [10:45] so you didnt remove the "wrong" ppa packages but removed the ppa [10:45] and the only thing i can do is restore my backup [10:46] k1l: I removed the intel ppa files from the sources.list.d directory [10:46] that was the only file i removed [10:46] I-am-Groot: ppa-files are not the drivers [10:47] Yea... But from how i understand it, i needed to remove those files inorder for the downgrade to occur [10:47] right? [10:47] I removed just these two [10:47] yes. but you did it in the wrong order. [10:47] intellinuxgraphics.list and intellinuxgraphics.list.save [10:48] get rid of the wrong driver , then get rid of PPA.

[12:31] ok [12:31] The problem was because i runned nautilus in root mode and used it to copy the ppa into the directory [12:31] 0xff [12:31] so the permissions were set to root [12:31] yeah [12:31] i think it wasnt able to access it [12:31] I-am-Groot, thats NOT how to add ppa at all [12:32] bazhang he deleted some ppa files inside the sources directory. so now he restored them from a backup [12:32] bazhang, i know, but i deleted the ppa and tried recovering it from a backup [12:32] yea [12:32] using ppa-purge I hope [12:32] nope via a file manager [12:32] thats not good a t all [12:32] thats why he added the files manually from a backup again [12:33] I-am-Groot: really. use your backup and dont start fiddeling with root and such again if you dont have a clue what you are doing there at all [12:33] hope he has very good backups [12:33] k1l_:Yes Sir!

[12:51] i dont remember [12:51] its being a long time since i installed it [12:52] i am running out of time. but imho its the best and fastest solution if you roll back your backup or you reinstall ubuntu and copy back the perosnal data. and then i suggest you dont use sudo and root to make your ubuntu "much faster" and first read about the command you will use.

Ext4 === AustinTheGrey is now known as AustinTheGrey_Aw [12:59] How can we access partitions of ubuntu in windows 7 [12:59] sallu: you can't [12:59] or you can but with 3rd party programs and they are uggy [13:00] sallu: use a live cd of a linux distribution and then do there the work [13:00] * buggy not uggy ;) [13:00] I already did successfull dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu [13:01] sallu: and you want not to boot into ubuntu, get one file and then boot into windows again? [13:01] I am having issues while accessing ubuntu partitions in windows [13:01] Lyze: Am back [13:01] In windows i cannot see any linux partitions [13:01] wb I-am-Groot [13:01] sallu: yes thats right. windows can [13:02] * can't communicate with linux partitions [13:02] I want to access linux partitions in windows. For example i want to access data from home directory [13:02] I have stuff in it [13:02] sallu: but if you want to use buggy and ugly software where you can get data from linux under windows then use one of those: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ [13:02] Nothing has changed when i execute "lshw -c video" [13:02] It looks the same [13:02] sallu: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/Ext2Read%20ver%202.0/ext2explore%202.0%20beta/ [13:03] I-am-Groot: can you show me the output [13:03] okay.. [13:03] sallu: note i had bad experience with those files. your best bet is to create a ntfs partition with data you need for oth os's [13:03] Lyze: lshw -c video [13:03] sorry [13:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10574443/ [13:04] I-am-Groot, use sudo === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:04] Lyze [13:04] BluesKaj: I already entered sudo -s [13:04] so am root [13:05] I-am-Groot: i guess why should your graphics card information change when you have uninstalled the driver? [13:05] I-am-Groot, try, lspci -knn | egrep -A 3 'VGA|3D' [13:06] sallu: ? [13:06] Lyze i have dual boot with windows and ubuntu. 300 gb to ubuntu as 12 gb assigned to swap partition and 100 to root partition and 200 to home partition [13:06] yeah and? [13:06] 100 is a lot for the / partition 20 is plenty [13:07] Lyze and in windows i also assigned 100 gbs to c and d. [13:07] Lyze: i was thinking the driver version or something was supposed to change to a lower number [13:07] sallu, 100 GB to ubuntu root? a ful is WAY less than that [13:07] Lyze i already have ntfs partition for windows 7 [13:07] BluesKaj: Kernel driver in use: i915 [13:08] isnt that supposed to change?? [13:08] i already said there is no way to mount linux harddrives under windows. use one of the programs i wrote earlier to access the linux drive or move every important file to one of the ntfs filesystems [13:08] Cfhowlett yes u can say that [13:08] I-am-Groot, then you have an intel graphics card with the correct driver [13:08] Lyze i understand as u said u have bad experience with using these buggy softwares [13:09] Okay, But is it the default driver that windows ships with?? [13:09] Lyze but have u heard any efficient application who can mount home partition to windows [13:09] Because i used intel graphics installer to update it sometime ago [13:09] Lyze or only to read the home partition in windows. Not write. Only read . That will do [13:09] But then we tried uninstalling the program and the driver it installed [13:10] sallu: no there is no way to mount a ext4 file system under windows efficiently. [13:10] lyze is correct === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:10] sallu: you could change your filesystem from your home partition to ntfs but it doesn't work with linux. ntfs doesn't understand the permissions system from linux [13:11] Is there any reason Font -> "Hinting" is not turned on by default ? Instaed its set to "Slight" [13:11] sallu;~ easy to set up an ntfs data partition in ubuntu and put stuff in there you want to share with windows [13:11] sallu, http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [13:12] Philinux ok but how to create now in linux. I have 3 partitions 12 gb for swap and 200 for home and 100 for root [13:13] thevishy, there's a reason. change it to your preferences [13:13] Blueskaj ok i see ext2fsd [13:13] ! patience | I-am-Groot [13:13] I-am-Groot, please see my private message [13:14] Oooohhh so ubottu is a bot? [13:14] Should i break home partitions to make ntfs for windows [13:14] Good thinking [13:14] sallu: I dont know much but u cant access linux partitions in windows [13:14] cfhowlett: is that reason something to do with performance ? Just trying to understand [13:15] But u can access windows partitions from linux [13:15] thevishy, yes [13:15] thats one of the reasons why i love linux [13:16] So if u want to access files on both operating systems, u should have one more partition where u keep ur files [13:16] this partition should be ntfs [13:16] I am groot yes u r right [13:16] this way, when u are in windows, u can access it and when u are in linux u can access it there too [13:16] I am groot. What u mean one more partitions? [13:16] that is what i have [13:16] done [13:17] I already have 2 parttions in windows and 3 partitions in linux [13:17] cfhowlett: ok then perhaps I will stick with default, thanks [13:17] You want to be able to access ur files u save whiles in ubuntu in windows right?? === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:17] I-am-Groot: yes he wants that [13:18] Then you should have an extra partition. [13:18] so u would have three partitions [13:18] I-am-Groot: he has 5 [13:18] one for windows, one for ubuntu and the last one for ur files [13:18] wow [13:18] I-am-Groot: 2 for windows (c, d) and 3 for linux (/, /home and swap) [13:18] hhmmm [13:19] sallu: so copy every file you perhapse need to d [13:19] does c and d have windows installations on them? [13:19] yes [13:19] c prob [13:19] and d for data [13:19] Then thats it [13:19] so use the D partition for saving ur files [13:19] files* [13:19] yeah [13:20] that is images,videos,mp3 etc [13:20] I-am-Groot: and btw. why can't you reinstall ubuntu completely? [13:20] that way u can access both partitions from both windows and linux [13:20] ##windows solution ? :) [13:20] Lyze: I dont have a stable internet to redownload all my programs and stuff again [13:21] thats why [13:21] As long as there is a partition that both os's can read then no problem [13:21] Lyze is so right [13:21] philinux: ah that sucks [13:21] I am groot exactly. C has windows 7 and d for data. And 3 partitions for linux as lyZe said [13:22] Okay sallu, [13:22] So then whats ur problem? [13:22] sallu: so just move every important file you perhapse need on windows to the "d" partition [13:22] sallu: or create a script which will sync your /home partition with the "d" partition [13:22] If u just want to be able to access the linux partitions on windows, thats simple inpossible [13:22] and then run the script everytime before you shutdown your computer [13:22] * shutdown linux [13:23] sallu: or what i would use: create a google drive account / dropbox account and sync your important data with the cloud on both computers [13:23] Lyze but d is also full now . Perhaps i will have to break home partition to make another ntfs for windows [13:24] sallu: then you break the installation from linux [13:24] For example when i download or copy anything i might need in windows, i copy it to my ntfs partition === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:24] sallu: you can resize your / partition to 30 gb or something like that. there is no way the basic linux installation (w/o /home) uses more than ~20g (but i would still use 30gb just in case) [13:24] Sallu: how big is ur ubuntu partition? [13:24] I-am-Groot, one can use http://www.ext2fsd.com/ to access/read/write linux folders from windows [13:24] 100gb [13:25] OOkay. Blueskaj [13:25] not impoossibe [13:25] Once upon a time.... a LONG time ago... (3 years or so) someone showed me the command that I could AutoStart in Ubuntu in order for it to FORCE 1080p resolution. I forgot to write down this command. Can anyone help me out? [13:25] BluesKaj: does it mount the partition or simply provide a gui where you can export / import your files? [13:26] ViperXL75: was it sth with xrandr? [13:26] ViperXL75: perhape sth like this xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00 ? [13:26] xrandr.... that sounds familiar [13:26] * xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" [13:27] yeah.... it was some simple 1-liner like that. [13:27] I'll got try it [13:27] ^^ [13:27] brb [13:27] Lyze, it list the linux partitions as drives in my computer [13:27] BluesKaj: :O nice [13:27] yea [13:27] Hi, i was wondering if i need a dns (like bind) to run services like OpenStack, Squid and puppet on a local network? or if i can configure existing files? I am using Ubuntu Server, and have a Ubuntu desktop client. [13:28] Lyze, never used it on W8 tho, so not sure it will work there, but it does work on W7 [13:28] I am groot. 100 gb for root / and 2oo for home and 12 gb for swap [13:29] Lyze you right [13:29] BluesKaj: yeah luckily i didnt upgrade to win8 [13:29] 100 for root / is too big ,wasted space sallu [13:29] wow..thats alot [13:29] (not to mention 12GB swap) [13:29] only need about 15G max [13:30] if u like u could use the method i used(Its a little bit lenghty) [13:30] !u [13:30] Shortened English is difficult for some non-native English speakers to read. Please use full words instead. Thanks! [13:30] Yes Sir! [13:30] CptRageToaster: i heard that i should create a swap partition which size is the same as the ram amount? isn't that right? [13:30] Sorry for delay in messages. I am currently on different irc channels and servers while using my android phone === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:31] Lyze: SWAP is basically what your PC uses when you run out of physical RAM [13:31] if you have 12GB... you'll have a hard time running out... [13:31] Lyze. Not same as ram. But you should say 1.5 times the size of ram for swap partition [13:31] What if I told you that I keep my install on a single 500 gig partition? <: [13:31] CptRageToaster: yeah i know that. :) [13:31] Lyze: you could probably run fine WITHOUT any SWAP... [13:32] SWAP is terribly slow [13:32] CptRageToaster: yeah [13:32] if you end up using it, your PC usually locks up... [13:32] CptRageToaster: not true. [13:32] ok :) [13:32] :O [13:32] TheNumb: "Usually" [13:32] nuh uh [13:32] never happened here [13:32] TheNumb: Not arguing here [13:33] Lyze: So... while you CAN give ubuntu a 12GB swap partition [13:33] I highly doubt you'll use it much... [13:33] unless you have intentions to fill 12Gb of ram somehow......... [13:33] unless you use memory heavy software [13:33] like... you're linking a 800 megs executable. [13:33] ;p === gabriel__ is now known as gabrielsch [13:34] :) [13:34] Lyze: Just to confirm [13:34] if you were to create virtual machines in Virtual Box... or you know that you have HUGE resource files that need tabling... then you might want to be worried [13:34] Did my graphics driver downgrade work?? [13:35] so giving yourself 12GB SWAP doesn't sound very helpful unless you know you're going to actually run out of physical RAM... [13:36] well cya guys [13:37] till in some hours [13:37] wc/70 [13:38] lyze === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:38] Hi, i am new to the linux world. i have tried to google how to add users to a domain, and if i need a dns server to run services. but i cant figure out how this works. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? i would relly appreciate it :) [13:40] HI Everyone [13:42] LinuxStudent: Do you mean a Windows AD domain? or do you just want to add users to your server? or something else? [13:42] ... or not :) well i hate my school where we do 0 === anthony is now known as Guest79758 [13:42] just to my server [13:43] i dont understand the consept of managing linux users from the linux server (i know how to add users to a domain in windows,) [13:43] LinuxStudent: adduser is the cli tool to use. The manpage has a bit too much info, but if you just do something like: adduser joeuser, it will prompt you for a few bits of info, and then setup the home directory and other stuff atuomatically. [13:43] Lyze: perhaps i need to explain just a little more. My HDMI is hooked up to my TV. The problem is that even though my TV can handle it, when Ubuntu boots up it will lower the resolution to 1350x1000 (or something like that). SO i have to manualy put it back to 1920x1080 all the time. There is a 'xrandr' command that will simply force it to go to 1080p resolution. If i can get that command, I'll [13:43] write it in the 'Startup' list and let Ubuntu execute it on every startup. [13:44] ViperXL75: i should have sent you a private message a couple of mins ago [13:44] with a link where it is described on how you can create a command like this [13:44] So i can add a user on a server, and log on to this user from a desktop on the same network?

[13:47] ViperXL75: oh ok in there they added a new mode to the xorg config with the --newmode parameter and then you can change to it with the --addmode parameter [13:48] ViperXL75: no sorry wrong informations here [13:48] hmm ok [13:48] ViperXL75: here is the correct command: xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800 [13:48] I do see my monitor listed though [13:48] but change those parameters [13:48] ViperXL75: yeah thats why they where wrong [13:49] kk gonna try it.

[13:55] yeah i am a guy ;) [13:55] hahah... ok Sorry. I'm not the smartest around here... obviously. [13:56] although gender is irrelevant online really [13:56] i could be a penguin. [13:56] ! [13:56] daftykins: i'm a owl [13:56] there are no penguins on the internet [13:56] Quote: The thing I love the most about Linux is the thing that gives me the most headaches. Once you get something to work on it, Linux is so damn stable that by the time you have to reinstall it, you've forgotten how you did it in the first place. [13:57] yeah thats right [13:57] ViperXL75, first world problems ... [13:57] and thats the reason i write down everything i do on my machine [13:57] ViperXL75: that's why i write notes like an engineer, as my University taught me. [13:57] however by the time you come back to use them, it's all changed just a year or two later :P [13:57] anyway back to support [13:58] yeah [13:58] The thing is, this was my first run at using Linux for such a dependant machine [13:58] ViperXL75: :) [13:59] Its my XBMC machine... downloader, Samba sharer, === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [13:59] (last thing offtopic): the first time installing linux on my old laptop: it took me half a yeahr to setup everything correctly [13:59] Last time i installed it, i think that was in 2011 [13:59] :) [13:59] you're stepping into general chat now, so please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic - ViperXL75 [14:00] First time i installed a linux machine, it was Debian for running a home-hosted website. I hosted my site for about 6 years on a Intel-P166 machine [14:00] oh sorry dafty [14:00] ^.^ === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- === TheZayc_ is now known as TheZayc [14:07] hello! [14:08] Is there a way to accomplish p2p content caching at a central server ? This is not related to ubuntu, but some one may have knowledge of this! [14:08] hi Soham :) [14:08] Lyze, k1l_ and daftykins: I ave been able to remove the ppas that causes sudo apt-get update to end with errors [14:08] Hi! [14:08] Soham: The whole point of p2p is that there is no central server. [14:09] I-am-Groot: you could already been done with reinstall and recopy the backup to have a clean system again. [14:10] Yes! but Im a part of an small ISP now which has implemented such service! They use a Seed Server to capture download and provide upload from and to clients [14:10] That would take time... and i just did that yesterday [14:10] I was reading about Pcache and Peerapp! [14:11] I also read that continous formating of a partition can cause the drive to fail or end up with bad sectors [14:11] I-am-Groot: you reinstalled, then added back all those PPAs of yours just yesterday? seems doubtful [14:11] that's complete rubbish [14:11] I want to know is there exist a way to do that same! :( Basically I need a Seed Server which will capture what user downloads and cache them or seed them! [14:12] daftykins: i reinstalled ubuntu from from start. [14:12] then restored my backup [14:12] I-am-Groot: I have formatted my drive many times and never had an issue! Only random power failure causes HDD problems. [14:12] I-am-Groot: and then added all those PPAs back in? why when you were claiming the intel drivers were the problem? [14:13] EXT4 is immune to bad sectors! I think ! [14:13] OOokay..as i said i read it somewhere [14:13] Soham: no that's a silly statement, a file system has nothing to do with physical defects [14:13] No Datykins. === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:13] Hi guys [14:13] The backup was a full backup of the ubuntu installation not just home directory [14:13] I have a question [14:14] !ask | bios_ [14:14] bios_: 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 [14:14] !ask | bios_ [14:14] I-am-Groot: then you completely avoided what the purpose of the reinstall was :) [14:14] daftykins: I think you need to read about BRTFS ! and so do I! [14:14] Yea [14:14] exactly [14:14] so why are you here? [14:14] I didnt want to loose a thing [14:15] so what i did was just like doing a system restore in windows [14:15] btrfs Wiki [14:15] https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/ [14:15] I-am-Groot: so is there no way you can take your computer somewhere to a location where you have a stable internet connection to download everything you need again? (programs,...) [14:15] Btrfs is a new copy on write (CoW) filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features while focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy ... [14:15] Soham, power pailure can cause hdd issues, that does not depend on filesystems [14:15] Soham: no thank you [14:16] Lyze: i would have to visit an internet cafe [14:16] is that really a tough task? [14:16] I-am-Groot: you don't have friends with a stable internet connection? [14:16] Um ! Where I may find peoples in freenode where I can find/discuss about peer app or p2p caching? Any suggestions. [14:16] I do but they arent close to me [14:16] they are like in the city [14:17] Yesterday install Ubuntu 14.04.2 and after i have update Ubuntu with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"... when restart, the software center has stopped and window as turned black. Some times the Fonts disappears on entire desktop and apps... I will need re-install Ubuntu ??? some solution?? [14:17] I-am-Groot: well you could be already there reinstalling the os again [14:17] okay [14:17] Soham: maybe your company should employ someone competent :) try #linux [14:18] is more prudent check MD5 of ISO?? [14:18] at burn on a DVD-ROM? [14:18] daftykins: i was here because, this black border thing happened twice after restoring the backup [14:18] bios_: if you're suggesting things for your own problem, have you done them? :) [14:19] first tyme i did the restore, it happened after a week or so [14:19] what logs do you guys sends to your external syslog servers? [14:19] I-am-Groot: yes and you keep restoring the bad configuration! === jester_ is now known as CrayXmp [14:19] then i reinstalled ubuntu and restored my backup again [14:19] Ookay [14:19] so even though i have ubuntu already installed would it be possible to break down a partition i already have and install kali to do a dual boot? [14:19] I-am-Groot: so you again did restore the bad config. just drive to one of your friends and install ubu again (w/o using a backup!) [14:19] not even daftykins [14:20] roger3415: yes [14:20] But one thing i dont get is before i did the backup, i never encountered such problems [14:20] roger3415: boot into a live cd and use gparted but make a backup (just in case) === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:20] daftykins nautilus re open when minimize and restore NTFS partition, or USB drive [14:20] I-am-Groot: like this? https://launchpadlibrarian.net/169592906/Zrzut%20ekranu%20z%202014-03-15%2012%3A22%3A51.png [14:20] can i use gpart in ubuntu itself first or do i need to do it within kali? [14:21] roger3415: you need a system where you don't have the disk mounted you want to change the size of [14:21] so lets say you have on /dev/sda1 ubuntu and on /dev/sda2 kali and you want to resize /dev/sda2 you need to boot either to the ubuntu distro or use a live cd / usb stick [14:22] oh ok [14:22] so i can resize the /dev/sda1 but need to be in live usb kali then huh? [14:22] I-am-Groot: because your system is again broken perhapse try those methods given in the forum: http://askubuntu.com/questions/360598/13-10-black-borders-black-terminal [14:23] roger3415: doesn't matter. it can be in any os which uses gparted as long as it is not on the partition you want to change the size of [14:23] roger3415, why do you want kali, if you do not have the basics about linux? [14:23] OerHeks: i guess resizing a partition is not a basic thing (when data is on) [14:24] ya partition resizing isnt lol [14:24] OerHeks: at least i needed it yesterday, and i started to use linux 5 years ago [14:24] even on windows it can be a pain [14:24] Lyze: i tried this [14:24] i even deleted my ./cash but it still didnt work [14:24] I-am-Groot: :( [14:25] ./cache rather [14:25] lol [14:25] roger3415: so can you post your partitions? [14:25] so i can say what you need todo? [14:26] well my hard drive is already fully partitioned out i shouldve installed kali first then followed up by ubuntu since the installer of ubuntu can setup dual boot but idk if kali does that or not do u guys know? === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:27] roger3415: i dont know [14:28] roger3415: but you can install kali on a partition with nothing on it. then boot into a live cd and make repair the grub bootloader (if kali damaged it) [14:28] roger3415: this is not a kali support channel :) [14:28] nor will it ever be [14:28] !grub roger3415 [14:29] ubottu: lag :O [14:29] you did the command wrong [14:29] oh yeah [14:29] put a | after the command [14:29] always forget :) [14:29] ubottu is with his girlfriend [14:29] !grub | roger3415 [14:29] I-am-Groot: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:29] roger3415: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [14:29] roger3415: why not install ubuntu only and put kali on a usb pendrive. since the purpose from kali is not to be used as a regular system at all [14:29] I-am-Groot: :D [14:29] wow [14:30] that is funny [14:30] k1l_: yeah that could be an option :) [14:30] k1l_: that is an excellent idea minus the fact the system i am on currently the usb drive i have set as a swap since the hard drive swap is too slow lol [14:31] roger3415: Qo [14:31] roger3415: i already proved to you that swap on a usb is not a clever idea [14:31] ViperXL75: well we could have simply used the !x command :) [14:32] k1l_: is it because the flash format? -> gets damaged every write? [14:32] not only that. usb is very very very very slow. if you use that for swap your system gets very very very very slow [14:32] k1l_: to be quiet frank i am hard headed and like to do things my way so please not to be rude dont tell me not to do something if its possible and theres a way after asking how to do it :P [14:33] heh, a swap on usb [14:33] roger3415: ok :) [14:34] i like to have unique computer setups and make things work the way i want it to and also this computer is an experiment computer so even if its not practical it isnt about being practical its about learning further what i can do with ubuntu === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:35] is it a usb 3.0 drive? [14:35] roger3415: that's nice and all but we're saying things that can stop you damaging hardware, so if you don't care about killing flash drives that's fair enough :) [14:35] of course, you can hit your head with a hammer if you like. its your choice. but dont tell wrong facts about usb beeing better for swap because its "faster" [14:35] i bought the flash drive for 2 dollars and dont even use it lol [14:35] >.> [14:35] roger3415: i am going to have to 100% disagree with your statement about 'slow disk swap' versus some cheap flash drive, that's an absolutely ridiculous claim :) [14:36] roger3415: but back to the question: we dont know what kali installer can do or cant do. that is better to ask the kali guys [14:36] Thanks guys for all your help [14:37] I would try going to either an internet cafe or a friends place for a fresh install [14:37] if you have a large, slow harddisk, i could see maybe getting better performance with a usb 3.0 drive (mayb [14:37] k1l_: ty it was worth a shot to ask before heading there though! [14:37] I-am-Groot: yeah would be the best thing! [14:37] Thank yall k1l_,daftykin1,lyze and ubottu too [14:37] thanks [14:38] Sorry if i was a pain in the ass === KrisDouglas is now known as Guest97951 [14:38] I-am-Groot: you were no pain in the ass :) we all like helping people (and owls) so yeah no problem :3 [14:38] actually, i kinda wanna try that on a spare box now roger3415 [14:38] Lool [14:39] carter1: don't say you believe this? [14:39] hey i have added a line in my /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf, auth.* @192.168.168.199:516 and restarted. but now when i do an ssh login i cant see that it sends a syslog message to that host. what do i do wrong? === Guest97951 is now known as KrisDouglas_ [14:39] o/ everyone [14:39] i don't, i just want to measure it xD [14:39] carter1: i just figured it be like readyboost for windows but linux style [14:40] since the princable of no moving parts being fast then moving parts for disk drives [14:40] I am having a problem with VSFTPD on 14.04. I am getting a massive stack trace dump in dmesg when i try and load it. I know the configuration file is good and my google fu is not returning any concise results. Does anyone have it working properly that might be able to point me in the right direction? === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins [14:40] ohai KrisDouglas_ [14:40] so, if you were talking about an ssd, you'd be absolutely right roger3415 [14:40] roger3415: readyboost was just a PR stunt. [14:41] the slowdown is in the communication between the system and the usb [14:41] oh btw i guess having swap on a ssd is also bad? === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:41] i wouldn't do it [14:41] it's hard on the ssd to have that many frequent read/writes [14:41] buying more ram will solve most issues :) [14:41] thats why i would only do it to a flash drive [14:41] k1l_: what happens when i run out of ram? [14:41] 2 ram slots can only get you so much ram [14:42] at work, i have all the ssd computers set to optimize lifespan, which by default turns off things like hibernate [14:42] which do lots of read/writes [14:42] which even then the speed of it depends on it being a dual channel motherboard or a single channel motherboard [14:42] Lyze: the oomkiller starts killing processes. [14:43] roger3415: you dont know the facts, so please dont talk like you do [14:43] k1l_: ok thanks :) [14:43] roger3415: i just stated you the facts of the speed of usb2 and dd2 and if you dont see the huge difference there, i dont know how to help you [14:43] and the swap partition only gets activated when i run out of ram. so having a swap partition on a ssd wont get activated when i have enough ram available? [14:43] *last night [14:44] Lyze: yes [14:44] k1l_: but if you add them together its even faster [14:44] roger3415: no [14:44] roger3415: plain false [14:44] so cya guys [14:44] do explain then comeon im curious [14:44] and thanks [14:44] Lyze: if you have a buttload of RAM i wouldn't even bother with a swap. But it won't do a massive amount of harm [14:44] roger3415: your comments are totally facepalm worthy, total rubbish [14:44] yeah, after a quick search, it seems that generally it's recommended to use your hd for the swap, not the ssd [14:45] carter1: depends how quick you like to sleep/hibernate if on a laptop :) [14:45] roger3415: ddr2 (200mhz) : peak 3200 MByte/s ; usb2: 60 MByte/s [14:45] and that is the slowest speed ddr2 ram. [14:46] is there any way to find which version of ubuntu has a specific version of glibc? [14:46] roger3415: so the slowest 1channel ram is 50times faster than the fastest usb2. and you really say it could be faster? please stop [14:46] salami_: packages.ubuntu.com ? [14:46] usb3.0:5000 MBytes/s [14:46] lol. [14:46] faster then ddr2 mate [14:47] roger3415: just because an interface is a given speed doesn't mean the device plugged in can operate at that, you do realise that yes? [14:47] change that byte to bit, iirc [14:47] roger3415: that is maximal transfer rate. so please test your 2dollar usb drive how fast that is in reality [14:47] correct, USB 3.0 is 5Gb/sec = 625MB/sec *max* [14:47] roger3415: trust me. you dont know the facts. [14:48] roger3415: and today machines have ddr3 ram. which is even faster === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:48] yeah, I can't remember the last time I bought a stick of DDR2 [14:48] k1l_: the machine im using isnt a today machine mate [14:49] Perhaps this discussion would be more on-topic for ##hardware or similar... this is #ubuntu after all. [14:49] that's a good suggestion Pici [14:49] yep. Pici is right. we got distracted [14:50] k1l_: no distractions with your big head in the way :P [14:50] that was bad form dude [14:50] bad form [14:51] i've never known so much hardware ignorance in one user. [14:51] roger3415: as i told: you can go "your way" if you want. but wrong facts stay wrong facts. and no need to go ad hominem there. [14:51] you've been super patient k1l_ [14:52] i still want to set a usb 3.0 as a swap, just to see what sort of read/write speeds i get [14:53] xD [14:53] All 12 colors of Sharpie https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3tlmseonlnsnrk/2015-03-10%2006.56.33.jpg?dl=0 === bedpanboy_return is now known as bedpanboy === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [14:56] did you print those RaMcHiP?

[15:56] s1991, its like an exe [15:56] b00b00, you can simply use the file manager for ftp and other similar stuff [15:56] teward, [15:56] on a voldyman, CptRageToaster, so on a fresh install when i run apt-get dist-upgrade it runs and then it gets stuck on DKMS: install completed [15:57] teward: lyze ok, and source tarball can install packages offline too while .deb cannot [15:57] so on a fresh install when i run apt-get dist-upgrade it runs and then it gets stuck on DKMS: install completed [15:57] s1991: while the source tarball contains the source code, a .deb binary installer contains the compiled software, either all in one binary package or with additional components in additional packages (take the nginx webserver, for example - nginx-full contains the binary nginx file with the modules compiled into it, while nginx-common contains the default configuration files that get installed, among other files that may be needed by the other flavors) [15:57] s1991: not really [15:57] s1991, see teward's answer [15:58] s1991: a source tarball gives you source code - you have to install `build-essential` and compilers to build the source code, as well as dependencies for building [15:58] s1991: the .deb can be downloaded separately and installed offline (provided you install the dependencies as well), but contains the actual built software, rather than the source code === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [15:59] s1991: think of the .deb as a Debian/Ubuntu setup.exe file for that given program - it installs the software which has already been compiled and built into the system [15:59] teward: but source tarball can definately can be installed offline [15:59] s1991: if and only if you install all the compiler software *and* the development libraries for the build dependencies [16:00] s1991: in most cases you don't need to build from source, and a downloaded .deb can be installed offline instead [16:00] s1991: i think your question is too broad, and you should narrow down your quesiton to be what exactly you're trying to figure this information out for [16:00] s1991: what you're asking is an 'it depends' question, and i can only give you very general answers [16:00] lyze: what do you mean? use the regular ftp client? [16:01] teward: I'm suppose to create a source tarball for a project, so first I was trying to understand the difference between them [16:01] b00b00, your file manager is a ftp client === beginners is now known as dhanvi [16:01] b00b00, so simply put in your address bar of the file manager (where you can enter a path) ftp:// and it works like a charm [16:01] teward: can you redirect me to link which help me create source tarball === lyze is now known as lyze_afk [16:02] s1991: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/creating-a-tar-file-linux-command-line/ <-- any guide to making a tar file of a directory will help [16:02] lyze: i want client that uses kerberos and try to authenticate that way, maybe i am wrong what i search, but that is what i need [16:02] s1991: alternatively http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/93139/can-i-zip-an-entire-folder-using-gzip may interest you as well [16:03] teward: one more question, now after making there tarfile and I can easily create my own PPA right? [16:03] s1991: you're asking different questions. [16:03] these* [16:03] s1991: is your ultimate goal to create a PPA? [16:03] teward: my goal is to create both [16:03] QUESTION: My laptop has a hyrbid graphics, Its a HP p045tx, i7 8gb ram, nvidia gt 630 and intel onboard graphics and im not able to get my nvidia card to work in it, it doesnt even get detected for me to later install the drivers separately. I've tried both ubuntu 14.04 and ubuntu 14.10 . I havent had any luck with either. This is the only problem i'm facing , everything else is smooth. Any advice? [16:04] s1991: that wasn't my question, is your ***GOAL*** with your current questions to create a PPA containing packages [16:04] teward: I have read somewhere that to create PPA u need to upload .tar file [16:04] s1991: if that is, that implies that you need an .orig.tar.gz [16:04] s1991: it's more than just that. [16:04] s1991: i think you may want to ask #ubuntu-packaging for assistance in creating the package [16:04] s1991: since it's more than just a tarball you need [16:04] hybridgraphics: have you been here before? [16:05] Nope :( [16:05] ok, thanks for that channel === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [16:06] daftykins: This is my 1st time here, I heard of ubuntu on air and decided to check it out they pointed me here [16:07] hybridgraphics: not familiar with that, so you do see both adapters from "lspci" yes? i'd go for a clean 14.04.1 install then fully update it first [16:07] anyway to refactor this: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e66a11ccac7b4e4da9f6 [16:08] gr33n7007h: not a channel for more dev questions really, isn't there a ruby channel? [16:09] oh hybridgraphics, i had this problem on my laptop [16:09] daftykins: that was for the ruby channel my bad i'm watching cheltenham festival ;( [16:09] gr33n7007h: ok np :) [16:10] hybridgraphics, my guess is that if you go into your bios, it's set to something called like nvidia optimus, which automatically switches between them [16:10] what you need to do is set it to just the discreet nvidia card [16:11] there are workarounds to allow you to do the same switching between integrated and discreet graphics but i would not recommend them at this point for someone unfamiliar with linux [16:11] is this because it's not truly an nvidia optimus setup with the GPU part? [16:11] *with that GPU part [16:12] daftykins, yes [16:12] I am willing to learn! No its not a true nvidia optimus card === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [16:12] so will ubuntu phone be compatible w/ sailfish os [16:12] hybridgraphics_, so where do you have a problem? does ubuntu start with black screen? [16:12] interesting [16:12] oh sorry hybridgraphics, then i misunderstood [16:13] No ubuntu works perfectly [16:13] hybridgraphics_: are you typing from this machine now? [16:13] when i load a video thats of high resolution theres a lot of chopping going on [16:13] No im on windows currently === lyze_afk is now known as Lyze [16:13] Also when i go to the about system window [16:14] yo [16:14] it doesnt show my nvidia [16:14] hybridgraphics_: that's not relevant [16:14] hybridgraphics_, just to be clear, there's no option in your bios to select a graphics card? [16:14] In my bios? [16:14] yes, in your bios [16:14] optimus setups actually rarely have that, carter2 [16:14] probably <10% of them [16:14] Not to my knowledge no [16:14] My personal laptop does [16:15] ah, work meeting [16:15] Its not a true optimus card [16:15] Its a nvidia gt630 === carter2 is now known as carter|afk [16:15] sorry nvidia gt640 [16:15] Lord_Fark_II, no i guess [16:15] Lord_Fark_II: ubuntu touch talk is best in #ubuntu-touch [16:15] Lord_Fark_II, join #ubuntu-touch for phone support [16:15] hi [16:16] erkam: Hi [16:16] sby german? [16:16] :d [16:16] i have relatively good experience with working with the bios as in im not afraid to go and change something there [16:16] !german | erkam [16:16] hybridgraphics_: what do you mean with "Not true" optimus [16:16] erkam: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [16:17] k1l_: i get the idea, though not 100% certain - that since it's not named as an 'M' GPU part, it's actually a discrete chip that doesn't work as optimus [16:17] ubuntu software center says it needs restart to install some of the stuff, doesn't do it after restart [16:18] Im sorry if it has a m in the end that means optimus is supported? [16:18] zhan_: please show the exact message in a pastebin please [16:18] zhan_: and what packages ? [16:18] hybridgraphics_: what makes you think its not a optimus card? [16:18] i didnt know that, i was referring to the fact that even after i insatll the drivers for my card manually nothing happens [16:18] i even installed bumblebee [16:18] to no avail [16:19] its a Nvidia GT 640m [16:19] k1L_: it's after I installed ubuntu, a lot of packages, and there're no messages, just the status bar. also the ubuntu is bugging out so I'm hoping its because of that [16:19] This thing if your wondering --> http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-640m/specifications === sins-_w_p is now known as sins- [16:19] bumblebee is old, nvidia-prime is current [16:20] hybridgraphics_: well, actually seeing the output of 'lspci' would've been nicer from the start :) [16:20] as requested 15 mins ago [16:20] hybridgraphics_: no bumblbee is outdated. use nvidia-prime [16:20] the vga controller part? [16:20] k1l_: help me out, cuz ubuntu is bugging out without that software I think [16:20] hybridgraphics_: so you are on a plain easy optimus nvidia setup and you are making more confusion than needed [16:21] i do remember doing that and getting my card in it [16:21] zhan_: i dont know what you did there at all? is it talking about a system restart? then do that [16:21] k1l_: i have [16:21] (i dont know if i have asked it in this channel already but here we go) does somebody know why whenever i install propertiary graphics card drivers from amd the screen completely gets black (after a restart) and never turns on? [16:21] k1l_: is there special restart prompt? [16:22] yes im aware, ive actually been trying to get it to work for nearly a month now [16:22] Lyze: what card? [16:22] This would be my first ubuntu install. [16:23] laptop, amd radeon hd 6300m series [16:23] daftykins [16:23] whats the special restart command to let software install [16:24] zhan_: restart your computer? [16:24] zhan_: i dont understand what you are talking about. [16:24] zhan_: it could be that you installed like a new kernel and that needs a restart to be working [16:24] When you've installed the software its installed. Its not windows where you need to reboot lol [16:24] k1l_: the fucking software won't install, and I suspect that to be reason why ubuntu keeps getting error messages as well as bugging out upon startup [16:24] except kernels of course. [16:25] zhan_, 1. stop the profanity. immediately. [16:25] zhan_: Watch your language please [16:25] !english | zhan_ [16:25] does anyone know anything about cgroups?

[16:55] Hi, does anyone happen to know, whether it's possible to have /proc on a different partition than the rest of the OS? I was intending to move the "OS" to ssd and leave /proc and /home on a hdd, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of documentation about, how to edit /etc/fstab with regard to /proc in this scenario [16:56] when i type www.ubu it will show www.ubuntu.com in address bar because i was at that before before [16:56] Opinie, why not move /proc also to the ssd? [16:56] Opinie, linux uses very low amount of gb (excluding the /home partition) ~ like 20gb is enough for everything [16:56] ablest1980: Go into Firefox PReferences and delete history [16:57] I have installed compiz-plugins-extra... it's not in there [16:57] wont let me delete form and address history [16:57] Lyze, erm, if I'm completely honest, mainly out of laziness.. my silly macbook pro doesn't want to boot from usb and I'm able to have two disks in my mbp because I've removed the dvd-drive [16:57] :) [16:57] Lyze, you call 20GB low ?!?!?!

I've installed Ubuntu (Server) 14.04 on my machine along with a postgreSQL server… created database and installed pgAdmin3… all is good… I have then installed pgAdmin3 on another machine to try to connect to that same database, but I can't figure out how to use the Ubuntu machine's IP because all the machines here at my place have the same (external) IP… I was able to connect to database using the internal IP 192.168.etc === sRN2982 is now known as Berti === Berti is now known as berti [17:26] hello [17:27] maps_: just port forward the ports to internal ip of machine if that makes sense [17:27] whats the meta key?

[17:28] how do i redownload windows back onto my laptop any one??? [17:28] ah, irssi.

[17:34] maps_, you'll probably need to open a port in your router's settings for that particular machine to do that [17:34] which I wouldn't really advise you to do, unless you know what you're doing [17:35] maps_: port forward 5432 in the router to local ip [17:36] gr33n7007h, thank you. I will try that! [17:37] maps_: no prob [17:38] Opinie, this seems to be something that needs to be done if I want to access the database from abroad… isn't this correct? [17:38] what is? opening a port in your router's settings? [17:39] Opinie, yes. [17:40] maps_, with all due respect - and I'm no security expert - I'd advise you to try and set up an openvpn server instead of leaving that postgreSQL port open [17:40] you'd be able to access said database through it as well [17:44] Opinie, are you familiar with ERP software xTuple? this is the software client that will be reading/writing database records… I do appreciate the advice, and I will do some reading on openvpb before I go any further. Again, thanks! [17:45] maps_, I'm familiar with openerp and odoo, not xTuple though [17:47] Opinie, one last thing, is 'open port' and 'port forwarding' the same thing? [17:47] Opinie, if not, are they equally dangerous? [17:47] they're the same thing [17:49] Opinie, alright. Once again I appreciate the advice. I've already found some posts written about openvpn related to xtuple, so I will for sure be doing some reading, and this may be the route that I choose to go… Thank you! [17:49] maps_, are trying to set up an erp server for some sort of an organization or something? [17:51] Opinie, yes! a resale and distribution company, together with a couple of friends. [17:52] maps_, might be worth a go to apt-get openerp, though it is an outdated version of odoo, to see, if it meets your needs [17:52] :1 [17:52] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER RaoulCode uaqmniblrknp [17:54] Opinie, I had done some reading about openerp and a few other ERP systems… but it looked like the free version of xTuple had more to offer than the others [17:54] alt-2 [17:55] :Q [17:55] help [17:55] 1 [17:55] Alt-# [17:55] Alt-2 [17:56] RaoulCode: please stop that [18:02] Anyone know why I can connect to a service running on a port when my UFW isn't permitting that port?

I mean high dpi [19:08] If you want high definition image your looking for 1080p or 4k [19:09] man. are high def displays that hard to make that only super-financed power companies like apple can manage to make them? [19:09] in_deep_thought: the funny thing is that my lg g3 has a 4k resolution [19:09] No, you just need a specific amount of power to utilize them properly [19:09] or is it that only apple bothers to make them [19:09] <_war10ck_> Blackbolt22: I am not sure what to look at in fstab, the only thing I had changed was for the XT1033 reading [19:10] <_war10ck_> Blackbolt22: Hold on, let me check what should be present [19:10] lyze: seriously. why not a screen too?? [19:10] laptop screen [19:11] in_deep_thought: i dont know :) why do you need a laptop with 4k resolution. for myself i find it very hard to read 1080p on a 15" laptop so i cant imagine reading something w/ 4k on a 17" screen [19:11] ^ [19:11] there's dpi settings for text [19:11] the rest can only look better [19:11] lyze: idk actually. I have just noticed that any time I am doing web desing/graphic design I much prefer my macbook. However I prefer ubuntu’s operating system. I wish I could just use that [19:11] SCHAAP137: but some software wont use those settings [19:12] <_war10ck_> Blackbolt22: run sudo blkid on your terminal and check the UUID for your device, sdb1 in your case I guess [19:12] in_deep_thought: dual boot? [19:12] true, but at some point that software will have to face reality [19:12] ^ [19:12] plus I would rather not pay macbook prices.

Or am i missing out on key security patches and updates. I mean 14.04 isnt that slow, just slower than 12.04 [19:18] Greentea: 12.04 is LTS. it still gets security patches [19:18] 14.10 is what you should use if you want the new version [19:18] <_war10ck_> Blackbolt22: How's your looking?

The reason is that 14.04 has huge updates and have long term support up to 5 years :) [19:18] Greentea: 12.04 is LTS until 2017, at which point will be end of life [19:19] I tried watching a video and it was playing in frames [19:19] games were lagging as hell [19:19] i wouldn't do any .10 releases tbh. too much of a headache when it goes end of life [19:19] So i reinstalled it [19:19] It was unusable [19:19] I-am-Groot: yeah thats true [19:19] What was unusable? [19:19] I-am-Groot: why didn't you use the additional drivers menu? [19:19] Thanks for all the input guys, so if i stay on 12.04, and install the updates, wouldnt it be the same as if I was on 14.10? [19:19] Greentea: no [19:20] I tried but it didnt find any drivers [19:20] Greentea: you don't get the same updates. [19:20] I-am-Groot: ... [19:20] but* [19:20] 12.04 will only take the updates made for it [19:20] <_war10ck_> Greentea: The kernel versions are different [19:20] 14.10 is basically the final version of Ubuntu [19:20] Hello. 14.04 with an nvidia card that has the nouveau driver and keeps ditching the gui. First question. I know how to get to a cli screen where I can login but then how do I kill the running gui.

I know how to do top. THere is a ps command but I dont remember the -particular-controls [19:26] mines5 has reminded me, does the video app get updated at all?

[19:28] how might I add key bindings to increase/decrease the number of workspaces in unity on the fly? is that possible? [19:28] Mine has to do with audio not coming through when I use it [19:28] Do you have installed correct driver? [19:29] there is this codec called x265. When ever i try to watch it, it just crashes [19:29] _war10ck_, lyze: Because as far as I understand it is still running but crippled and I can see that is keeps trying because it prints out errors in the cli (they have the words xorg and nouveau in them and are well logged. ) ---> first I want to learn how to restart the gui after it gets errors and see if it dies immediately to see if it has anything to do with a warmed up graphics card --- [19:29] So i updated vlc's codecs from then, vlc plays it fine [19:30] tripelb: well so the process is running on a cli? if thats the case then kill it w/ ctrl+c and then start it again with "startx" [19:30] And yes, if you have LTS version of ubuntu, use software update, and you should have all your programs up-to-date :) [19:30] _war10ck_, lyze: After that I will "attack" the problem of how I can install the new proprietary driver I have downloaded from nvidia.) [19:30] I think so, I have decided to let linux do that for itself, the last time I tried installing the specific driver for the sound but it killed the actual driver [19:31] <_war10ck_> tripelb: Are you using Bumblebee? [19:31] But since the video app is responsible for video thumbnails and isnt able to play the file, it keeps crashing once am in the directory that holds a file with x265 encoding [19:32] look up the browser using the code x265, you should get the answer :) [19:32] Again fstab has nothing but the line I typed earlier [19:33] And I don't think it ever has.. I've added a ram disk line and it'd always looked like this I think [19:33] <_war10ck_> Blackbolt22: Okay hold on - the fix is, I think with that ntfsfix, but let me check somethig on my system === MagePsycho_ is now known as MagePsycho === thomas_ is now known as Guest82967 [19:34] lyze re "the process is running on a cli?

I remember using the command "irc" long long ago. I had no gui then, unless you counted windows.

[20:11] lyze: you mean grub right? [20:11] NegativeFlare: negative. bios settings [20:11] Totally confused xD [20:11] ^^ [20:11] NegativeFlare: there http://i.imgur.com/iJxnmqf.jpg [20:12] That's boot option. [20:12] yeah and i want to add one [20:12] because i have accidentally deleted one [20:12] I have no idea what to tell you. [20:12] ok :) [20:13] what does this error mean? ACPI Warning: 0x0000000000001828-0x000000000000182f SystemIO conflicts with Region \PMIO 1 (20121018/utaddress-251) [20:14] VidjaJames, a warning is not an error, it is just a message [20:14] I was wondering which version of Ubuntu would be more suitable for a system that is used for both work and entertainment. Should I expect normal releases to be less stable and brokage prone? [20:14] Should I choose LTS or normal release? [20:15] VidjaJames, if you have a lot like those, it might be an error/failure [20:15] lyze: why you need a boot entry in the cmos boot menu? [20:15] donniezazen: If its a released, then you should be fine. Just remember to report bugs. For people can smash them. [20:15] bprompt: because i deleted a option out of there [20:15] donniezazen: LTS. [20:15] donniezazen: Depends if you want when you want to upgrade. [20:15] and now i can't select it [20:15] I don't mind upgrading every 6 months [20:15] lyze: ....ok.. how did you "deleted" it? [20:16] bprompt, by pressing the delete button in the same menu [20:16] @OerHeks is that warning related to the graphics card? [20:17] NegativeFlare: upgrades are not a problem. I want to use the machine for both work and entertainment. 2 years between the releases make your system look dull. [20:17] lyze: not such option that I can think of, for a cmos menu, so... you think you deleted it... something happened... whatever that was... is sorta foggy thus far... neverminding the delete part... what happened, what did you have and now is not there? [20:18] jpds: Have you had any negative experiences with normal release that would prompt you to suggest LTS? [20:18] donniezazen im still using 12.04 and playing many steam games [20:18] bprompt: well i spoke for kro2488 [20:18] so i guess now he should answer you [20:18] VidjaJames, an acpi error can be related to video, not sure if this is. [20:18] lyze: I see... ok.. so is kro2488 then, k [20:19] bprompt: yeah [20:19] donniezazen: I would always suggest an LTS, personally. [20:19] bprompt: i deleted the entire usb boot option in my laptop bios [20:19] donniezazen: But it depends on what your needs are. [20:19] by accident [20:19] im trying to recreate it [20:19] donniezazen, mainly because the upgrade to 14.04 failes but whatever, not in a hurry for fresh install [20:19] bprompt: he can only select the given one on the photo but he wants to select the usb stick where he has currently ubuntu installed [20:20] donniezazen: Then go with every new release [20:20] just wait a little before you upgrade [20:20] kro2488: is your cmos booting, set to legacy CSM already? [20:20] like a month, like I do. Because they end up fixing some of the bugs that people find out. [20:20] kro2488: usually such case doesn't happen, because such option is never there, so it's not deleted [20:21] bprompt: legacy csm? [20:21] bprompt, maybe he enabled fastboot again [20:21] fast boot i just disabled again, and csm is disabled as well [20:21] but without usb boot its not going to work [20:21] it will just boot windows again [20:21] no matter what i do [20:21] kro2488: on some systems though, you need to boot with the usb stick inserted already in the usb-port, go to the cmos menu and choose it from the boot sequence, IF the usb is already plugged in at the time of the bootup, it shows up in the cmos boot sequence section, if not, it doesn't [20:22] rypervenche: Basically, I need the machine for Android development. I also use the machine for personal purposes and for that reason updated software is preference. If the LTS version carries a bug than that doesn't get fixed as version upgrades aren't allowed. [20:22] ill restart the computer again but i doubt it does anything bpromt [20:22] bprompt [20:22] do i want launch csm enabled or disabled? [20:22] fast boot is disabled [20:22] use all legacy modes you find in bios, no fast boot either [20:22] kro2488: bear in mind that if legacy CSM is not enabled in cmos, it may not do a usb-bootup, I've seen that in Toshiba's [20:22] Hi guys i need some help [20:23] !ask | moniess [20:23] moniess: 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 [20:23] i dont see "legacy" csm [20:23] kro2488: or CSM something, check boot section [20:23] it might be called a bit differently [20:23] ok i found the usb configuration menu its in a different spot than boot order [20:23] How can I keep on Cairo-Dock after shutdown the computer and when I turn it on to be still running ? [20:23] legacy is enabled [20:24] moniess: Look in the settings, there's probably something about startup. I know there is in XFCE4 [20:24] kro2488: i assume this -> http://i.imgur.com/iJxnmqf.jpg <- isn't your screen, right? [20:25] okay cause i searched and i couldnt find it . Thanks !!! [20:25] moniess: let me know if you need more help with it. I'm a little rusty with Unity. [20:25] bprompt: it was when i was trying to make a new usb boot path cuz teh old oen is gone [20:25] can you recursively assign a group to a directory and all subdirectories? [20:26] sokoll: -R parameter [20:26] sokoll: chown -Rv user:group [20:26] kro2488, can you get to the boot device menu? sometimes f11, or f10, or some other key, having the usb thumb plugged should show the device [20:26] sokoll: chmod -R [20:26] NegativeFlare: -Rv? [20:26] R for recursive [20:26] Artemis3 it doesnt show it on the boot device menu anymore [20:26] v for verbose [20:26] i accidentally DELETED it [20:26] ah so it would show the sub directories I'm editing too? [20:27] kro2488, no thats not possible, you just moved a setting or try plug to another port [20:27] sokoll: I'm sorry, its a habit I have as a IT person, I always like seeing the verbose results. [20:28] kro2488: ok.. give a shot of booting up with the usb-stick already plugged in, and check in the cmos/setup section to see if it shows up as a bootup option [20:28] Artemis3: OK ill tty a different usb port and yes bprompt: ill goo back to uefi with it plugged in [20:28] but it wont let me tell it to boot from it [20:28] there is also an option in boot settings, "boot from usb", or "boot legacy", or "boot removable" [20:29] hmm [20:29] .... i dont have that option anymore artemis its gone, i used to have it then i accidentally deleted it [20:29] its toast [20:29] ? [20:29] i also remember some bios show boot uefi usb AND boot legacy usb [20:29] ie they show two entries for every device [20:29] Now we just need to find butter. [20:30] Warlock are you there [20:30] Lol dang can anyone else help me [20:30] lyze that black screen with highlights is awesome. I hope the howto do that is in the info that I have collected and saved (or in that blackbackground window of yours.) -- very cool. [20:30] sigh if i cant figure this out, whast is an easy way to just reinstall windows on my laptop it doesnt have cd drive btw [20:31] tripelb: which blackscreen? [20:31] My issue is my flash drive is read only and its being automounted as that [20:31] kro2488, booting from the usb you can't boot from :3 [20:31] lyze this one http://i.imgur.com/uM1FcMZ.png [20:31] tripelb: ah :) [20:31] I had complained that when you use my nick I dont see a highlight. [20:31] kro2488, whats the model of the thing? [20:32] tripelb: tripelb yeah :) [20:32] tripelb: i could send you a whole configuration of irssi [20:32] kro2488 easiest way is usb [20:32] tripelb: which has everything setup correctly and some usefull plugins installed :) [20:32] lyze may I pm you please? [20:33] tripelb: yeah sure [20:33] Artemis: its an asus laptop X202E [20:33] also known as AR5B125 [20:33] tripelb: created a query with you [20:34] kro2488, how did you delete the usb entry from your bios? [20:34] Ammon: accidentally hit delete key then yes [20:34] kro2488 very very accidentally xD [20:34] kro2488, in the bios? [20:35] yes in the bios [20:35] kro2488, follow this http://www.linlap.com/asus_s202e [20:35] lyze, i am curious about your irrsi setup actually, got screenshot ? [20:35] ehhh it wont work cuz i cant boot from usb now [20:35] fml [20:36] BrunoM: http://i.imgur.com/uM1FcMZ.png [20:36] BrunoM: just installed it today :) [20:36] kro2488: ok.. give a shot of booting up with the usb-stick already plugged in, and check in the cmos/setup section to see if it shows up as a bootup option [20:36] bprompt:it doesnt i've tried every port [20:37] will only show windows boot option now [20:37] and its option one [20:37] lyze do you use NotifyOSD support ? [20:37] before i had two options [20:37] windows, and usb/drive etc [20:37] BrunoM: no whats this? [20:37] kro2488, did you follow the guide? [20:37] ... [20:38] lyze http://www.codealpha.net/215/script-irssi-ubuntu-notify-osd-notification-system/ [20:38] lyze shows popups using the ubuntu notification system, when you have a new mention [20:38] BrunoM: oh do you know if it works with arch to? [20:38] kro2488: after plugging it the usb-stick, and booting up, BEFORE going anywhere, did you try getting into setup > boot sequence? to see if the usb-stick shows up as an option there? as opposed to simply try to boot up the usb-stick [20:38] BrunoM: using a manjaro currently because it works better with my setup [20:39] bpromt: the usb DOES NOT SHOW UP in boot options anymore [20:39] kro2488, contact the vendor [20:39] lyze I know of some modifications on the same file, like the second one in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118208 [20:40] bprompt: http://i.imgur.com/iJxnmqf.jpg [20:40] kro2488: did you go into setup > boot sequence? after booting up with the usb-stick plugged in [20:40] kro2488, or try another stick, might have just died on you [20:40] brodul: thanks :) [20:40] kro2488: saw that, just wondering [20:40] works awesome, since I use a dropdown terminal it's nice to be able to get notifications when you are "outside" your terminal. [20:40] artemis3:http://i.imgur.com/iJxnmqf.jpg [20:40] but yeah ill call them later in the week [20:40] kro2488: just to be clear, you never deleted that option, is not an option from "setup" screens [20:40] bprompt:question [20:40] lyze it's also possible to do so with remote connections, if for example you are connected to a server over ssh or something, but that would require modification of the plugin as well, and I havent got those. [20:41] is there a way to force it to boot usb from the command prompt? [20:41] if its not really totally gone as an option [20:41] but i think it is [20:41] BrunoM: yeah ok thats no use for me but thanks for the info :) [20:41] kro2488 it's not really gone, you cannot delete that ;) [20:41] kro2488 try pressing f8 or f11 or f12 during boot time., [20:41] brunom: so just deleted the way to access it? [20:41] kro2488: sorta chcken and egg issue, in order to do that, you'd need a command prompt firstly, and for that, you'd need to be booted in already [20:42] i can get to windows fine [20:42] kro2488 I always just bash all of these keys after each other when booting. [20:42] nah [20:42] i can also boot to command prompt [20:42] does anybody know if i can restore a closed file from geany?! [20:42] accidentaly closed the file but i didnt save [20:42] lyze: a closed file? as in a buffer you didn't save? [20:42] boot prompt menu changes its not even funny, how come manufacturers don't settle with one, almost everyone uses f12 for lan boot [20:42] lyze once it's out the buffer, it's gone. [20:42] bprompt: yeah a closed file. not in the buffer anymore === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [20:43] in my windows 8 artemis [20:43] you have to go into windows first [20:43] then go to advanced startup options [20:43] i dont mash keys from the begining [20:43] but you get to the same spot [20:43] just have to restart first [20:43] kro2488, that only works with fast boot [20:43] BrunoM: :( [20:43] fast boot is disabled [20:43] it works either way [20:43] BrunoM: also do i need to edit the file (excluding the path from the image)? [20:44] you dont have a message flash up that say ssomething like [20:44] press f whatever for bios [20:44] like on my desktop i do [20:44] its f12 [20:44] not on the laptop [20:44] kro2488, but, its possible to override windows idiocy removing the battery, i have done it before, but you should not :3 [20:44] whoa whoa, battery? [20:44] why are we talking about batteries now [20:44] kro2488, its a matter of forcing windows shutdown, it loves to hibernate and such [20:45] kro2488, probably unrelated to your case [20:45] yea well im never going back to windows [20:45] lyze: I don't see any autosave option in "preferences" in geany, thus I'd say, nope [20:45] i love linux so far [20:45] bprompt: ok that sucks but thanks [20:45] ill either just buy a cheap new laptop or something and make sure im careful in bios next time [20:45] ubuntu on desktop been that way for a few weeks now [20:46] im learning [20:46] kro2488, did you try to load cmos defaults in bios? [20:46] what other distros are good? [20:46] kro2488, see if you have fastboot, and you are in windows and try to shutdown, it kinda hibernates instead and there is a fast boot when the pc is turned on, bypassing the chance to enter bios. In that case you have to use that windows method, enter bios and disable those things [20:46] kro2488: what's your machine make and model? [20:46] lyze I think you are good to go with the code from the second post, BUT maybe it's better to go with the following: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/irssi-libnotify-git/ [20:46] faast boot is disabled artemis [20:46] im looking at it [20:46] kro2488, safe boot? [20:46] trusted security whatever boot? [20:46] lyze I have not used it since ages, I went back to hex [20:46] BrunoM: oh theres a aur for this thanks :) [20:47] so boot in safe mode? [20:47] no [20:47] i see nothing about safe boot [20:47] BrunoM: i went from hex to irssi because i want to try some console programs :) starting to like those ^^ [20:47] guide says, enter security and disable safe boot, point 4 of the guide i gave you [20:47] irssi is actually very fine, but I was using it over SSH, kinda limited the fun for me. [20:48] http://www.linlap.com/asus_s202e [20:48] i dont have the same options man [20:49] pressing escape does nothing [20:49] kro2488: what's your machine make and model? [20:50] Hi, I could do with some help, perhaps pointers to where to start. I was upgrading my laptop from 14.04 to 14.10, got called away and while I was away my laptop suspended part way through the upgrade. I've got a partial 14.10 system, but screen drivers are not working and wifi is not working. I've booted from a 14.10 livecd fine so I know that 14.10 should work. As I can't get wifi working is there anyway I can complete the up [20:50] grade using the livecd? Or am I going to have to wipe the system and do a fresh install? [20:50] oh its x202e nvm then [20:50] bprompt: asus model number AR5B125 [20:50] looking on back [20:50] also see [20:51] q200 e in top left sticker lol [20:52] AR5B125 is your wlan chipset [20:52] kro2488, don't you have another stick to try with anyway? [20:53] no [20:53] kro2488, what if the thing just died? [20:53] but hey im looking on unetbootin [20:53] it works i plugged it into my desktop running linux now [20:53] it recognizes the files on it etc [20:53] uhh [20:53] kro2488, ok. [20:53] guys, have fun fixing stuff, im out. be back in about 20 hours. cya! [20:53] what is a netinstall of a distro? [20:54] kro2488 smallest installation starter available, will download all the required packages over your active internet connection during installation. [20:54] note that you will NOT have a working linux distro available for booting from the usb. [20:54] kro2488, you set up a server and boot from that, not exactly noob friendly :3 but awesome if you set it up [20:54] having that said, ciaoo [20:54] well can i use that to install linux on my windows laptop? [20:55] kro2488, http://askubuntu.com/questions/298074/trying-to-boot-from-usb-on-asus-q200e-bhi3t45-just-brings-me-to-grub-menu === thomas_ is now known as Guest96562 [20:56] i have a laptop hooked up to a vga monitor how can i set both to a resolution of 1024*768 from the terminal [20:56] ammon:yup thats why i wsa trying to do [20:56] then i went back in there to mess with other settings [20:56] cuz it didnt work [20:56] then accidentally deleted that option [20:56] secure boot is mentioned [20:56] get that DISABLED [20:57] tried the solution of the answer? [20:57] And disable fast boot as well. [20:57] yes [20:57] Is there an alternate 14.10 image that comes with fdisk rather than partman? [20:57] both are disabled [20:57] you guys arent getting it [20:57] lol [20:57] hello everyone, I'm having a very slow internet connection on an hp pavilion p6537c. would anyone happen to have any experience with this? [20:57] i fucked up royally [20:57] and no have only one singular boot option [20:57] kro2488, then change the boot order in the bios [20:58] i cant anymore [20:58] i only have ONE BOOT OPTION [20:58] lol [20:58] hi guys, any apache virtualhost experts around? I set up a server as usual, setting up my virtualhosts like normal. But on a newly installed ubuntu 14.04 server I can't stop the default.conf from being loaded.

Normally I would create the partitions using fdisk and then use mdadm to create the device. Fdisk doesn't seem to be included on the Ubuntu Server 14.10 installation CD and partman has different ideas of how to go about this process. Sadly the raid configuration menu attached to parted is less than helpful. It appears to make the md device, but when I check the actual md config using md -Esv, those s [21:09] ettings are not the ones that I chose. [21:10] I would like to do this manually. If fdisk isn't available, then can I force partman to behave more like fdisk and do what I tell it to rather than try to guide me through a process? [21:15] Enkidu_ak: I'm thinking you could make a Ubuntu Server bootable usb with persistent storage, and install fdisk from there, once booted in a liveusb session, do a quick sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install fdisk; <-- and that would include it, and keep it after bootup, in the persistent area [21:16] bprompt, Currently it is a bootable usb with persistent storage, but apt is not in the path. [21:16] ubuntu server has no live mode [21:16] chucks [21:19] Enkidu_ak: ok... using a hdd installation of the Ubuntu Server then... what I'd do is ... maybe if you do a -> sudo apt-get install -d fdisk; so it downloads the .deb files, then fetch them from /var/cache/apt/archives and install it manually in the livession with -> dpkg -i [21:23] <_JuJuBee> Does ubuntu log dhcp addresses I have received over time? [21:23] _JuJuBee: No. [21:23] bprompt, There isn't really a livesession and dpkg isn't available either. [21:23] hi everyone! [21:23] <_JuJuBee> bekks: thanks [21:24] heya everyone. How the HECK can I make it to remove that white bar on every window? Only native ones like Nautilus and Tweak Tool are black like the theme suposedly makes, but not the others. And that 1px border on every window too.. http://i.imgur.com/TSBar0r.jpg [21:24] bprompt, Apparently the installer wants to to ride the track [21:24] As you can see, Teamviewer, Empathy and Sublime dont respect this [21:24] And they have a white menu on top [21:25] Enkidu_ak: ... .... dunno that one...then, haven't used partman myself [21:26] bprompt, I'm going to see if I can find the man page. Maybe there is a 'do as I say' flag or something [21:26] Hi all, has anyone tried using nvidia-340 drivers with nvidia-prime or bumblebee and primus on Ubuntu 14.10. Unity crashes when I use it, usually when closing the application. Anyone else seeing this behaviour? [21:28] Enkidu_ak: Just joined, but, does this help : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive . That is the guide I use for manual partitioning . [21:30] Bashing-om, Sadly it does not. Even that guide references fdisk. Why partman would be used exclusively in the installer when even the guides give instructions based on fdisk is beyond me. [21:30] Enkidu_ak: :( ,, Do not know partman, and can not say ... [21:31] bprompt, Actually, you might have had a solution, just backwards. I'm going to try using a desktop livecd and then installing the server software from there. I can also install mdadm and fdisk from there. [21:31] Does anyone know how to theme those shitty white bars on top of apps? http://i.imgur.com/TSBar0r.jpg [21:31] As you can see on the Tweak window, I already changed the gtk3 theme but nothing. [21:31] Enkidu_ak: hmmm that may work.. yes [21:32] Only native windows as nautilus change, not the ones like sublime, teamviewer and others [21:35] hey. Where can i get a version of linux, ubuntu, in a terminal mode window? Kinda like without window manager and no GE? [21:36] or the version you reccomend? [21:36] hey.

[21:41] trying to setup a drive to replace my current sda. new drive is currently sdc. / and /boot and /etc is on sdb. how do I install grub on sdc so that when it becomes sda and I boot from it 'everything works!' ? [21:42] hellooooo [21:42] CarlFK: if i am not wrong a simple update-grub should be enoguh from a live cd [21:42] CarlFK: Are you looking to make an exact copy? [21:43] how can I change the default windowing system ubuntu boots into? [21:43] rypervenche: kinda. old drive is failing. I used ddrescue to copy to the new drive, but when I boot I get "no filesystem found" grub > [21:43] I chose recovery console, and now it only boots there [21:43] CarlFK: Did you copy the raw device or just a partition? [21:44] rypervenche: raw. i does boot grub, just doesn't find /boot on sdb1 I guess [21:44] CarlFK: I would chroot into it and rebuild your initramfs and update your grub config. [21:45] rypervenche: what? [21:47] donniezazen: Not having to upgrade every 9 months? [21:47] CarlFK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1156240 [21:48] CarlFK: I would reinstall Grub to the disk, update your initramfs with "update-initramfs -u -k all" and then update grub with "update-grub" [21:48] CarlFK: reinstalling grub would be "grub-install /dev/sda" if /dev/sda is the drive with your /boot on it.

[21:50] karl1969: from the first ubuntuforum post i found: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" [21:50] there you can select which thing you want to use [21:50] lyze , thanks, ill try [21:51] karl1969, oh i guess its sudo "dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" now but you need to test it ;) [21:51] rypervenche: /boot is on sdb1. my box boots from sda. how will that know to look at sdb1? [21:52] CarlFK: Chrooting into your new install is critical, without that update-initramfs, update-grub, and grub-install will all assume that the configuration you're trying to setup is the one you're currently booted into. [21:52] CarlFK: You will have to have /boot mounted correctly, and you may need to update your /etc/fstab as well so that everything is properly mounted as well. [21:54] Im not sure I have a live anything handy. was hoping to use the installed OS to setup the new drive, then swap drives.

"Nvidia opencl driver and icd loader must be removed", I found a solution on this site, however I dont really want to blindly follow it. Could you guys explain what exactly the solution suggested on this site is doing? http://askubuntu.com/quest [21:55] ions/449507/nvidia-libopencl1-331-has-to-be-removed-before-installing-wine?rq=1 [21:57] nguyen: maybe try wine instead of play on linux? [21:58] Ben64: playonlinux is a simple wine management software [21:58] lyze: right, it adds a layer of unnecessary to wine [21:59] Ben42_: Wine produces the same message I believe, the person who posted on the site was trying to install WINE, and got the same error. [21:59] Ben64: well its quite nice when you have problems applying patches to wine or installing software under wine correctly [21:59] i'd suggest using the ppa here for wine https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [21:59] nguyen: Is this playonlinux from ubuntu or from somewhere else? [22:00] jhutchins: Correct, I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04 [22:00] lyze: except you don't get any support for it, the ppa i listed you can get support from #winehq [22:01] Ben64: #playonlinux + forums? [22:01] I have a server that's running polipo proxy and should be listening on port 8123, but when I try to access it, the traffic is somehow intercepted by an external proxy system. How can that happen? Is that something in iptables or DNS? [22:01] Ben42_: Are you suggesting wine, because you feel that the solution provided by the site is not safe? [22:04] nguyen: i'm suggesting it because its the actual thing that does the work, and i'm suggesting the PPA because it gets all the development [22:05] Ben42_: Okay, I will use your solution and try to install the game.

[23:49] Blackbolt22-: OK, we want that 'pastebin' output with the USB device in question plugged in . [23:49] Blackbolt22-: you literally said "I'm driving" [23:49] OK I have to get it going give me a bit.. [23:50] bbb [23:50] jmlk;l:pppùm [23:50] mùm [23:50] m [23:50] m [23:50] m [23:50] m [23:50] m [23:51] Hey :-) [23:51] in nano how can i go to a specific line? imagine i wanna go to line 84? [23:52] alt+g [23:52] umbra_purus, man nano ... it shows you there is a +LINE flag so try nano +84 [23:52] hi, im writing a .sh script and I need it to open the default terminal and run the script in that window .. is that possible ? [23:52] Quick question. I'm having a fairly new computer with 8gb's of ram. for some reason, ubuntu (64-bit) only recognizes 3.7gb of ram, and almost maxing out. [23:52] Anybody know a soloution for this? [23:52] sudo rm -rf /var/www/ [23:53] I searched the net and cant seem to find a "good" way to do it .. [23:53] ; sudo echo Beer! >> /var/www/index.html [23:53] alchemistswl: dont make such "jokes" in here [23:53] deblab: you probably aren't installing a 64 bit version [23:53] deblab: faulty ram ? I throw away one few days ago [23:54] k1l why? a little joke goes along everywhere? [23:54] UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, Ram is OK, bios recognizes them. :) [23:54] alchemistswl: that is malicous, and not a joke. this is a beginners channel. [23:55] deblab: Sure it is a 64 bit install ? as 32 bit install only recognixes up to 4 Gigs . check -> uname -a <- to show the version/kernel . [23:55] MichaelHabib1: various terminals can handle this in different ways. [23:55] deblab, lshw -c memory will shows you what banks are seen [23:55] Bashing-om: UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:55] Erm, it's the internet, so don't trust anything you don't know a bit of. Secondly if you are setting up a server and don't know your stuff it's probably a bad idea. But I give you the points for it being malicious :). [23:55] vook: is there a basic version for all *buntu based distros ? [23:55] Seems like 64bit [23:56] MichaelHabib1: look at the man page for the terminal. [23:56] deblab: Yepper that be 64 bit . [23:56] how can i send syslog messages to an external syslog server? i get no success with the crappy rsyslog [23:57] Bashing-om: Crap. Would be lovely if that's was the problem. [23:57] ok im on the laptop on freenode webchat.. [23:57] vook: No manual entry for terminal [23:57] MichaelHabib1: but I know mate-terminal and gnome-terminal can do this with '-e' [23:58] deblab: can you pastebin a "free -m" and "lshw -c memory" [23:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10577405/ [23:58] vook: but is there a cross-DE way of doing this ?

[23:58] deblab: Does the system see the ram ? < pavlos> deblab, lshw -c memory will shows you what banks are seen . [23:58] MichaelHabib1: it isn't called "terminal", it's whatever terminal you are using. xterm is available on most systems - yes, this can be done.
