[00:55] I am trying to install the latest radeon drivers, however the problem is I do not know what they mean by "graphical install interface" [00:55] Sunstream.....mostly because linux doesn't have native drivers for a lot of systems and they have to be made? [00:55] what's the context of what they're saying? [00:55] screw AMD cant even write a damned .deb package [00:56] what the hell do they mean by this: Driver installation can be done from X Window System by running the graphical installer, or from the console mode by running the text mode installer. In both cases, installation process is similar. [00:56] Why are you actually trying to install the proprietary drivers outside of the package management system? [00:56] Sunstream: And yould you watch your language please? :) [00:56] because I do not know where to get it otherwise [00:57] Radeon is a big company, do they not have linux drivers for your hardware on their vendor website? [00:57] um. what do i have to talk like a child uncorrupted in here? I cannot say anything close to a sware word tho sc*** is not one [00:57] Well, having that attitude, I'll just ignore your rants. [00:57] No thk: they dont they are stupid idiots who do not know how to make things...... OF COURSE they do [00:57] gosh [00:57] Sunstream....it appears as though you're frustrated and upset. Please calm down. [00:58] sigh [00:58] we're here to help, but we won't take the brunt of your frustration for you in the process. [00:58] Linux is harder than I thought maybe I will just go back to windows to play games [00:58] No, no no, stick through it. It's tough, yes, but you can do this. [00:59] Well the thing is all other venders have .deb at least the ones i came accross however AMD seems to make it where you use the "suppored by other people so they can focus on there love of Miicrosoft" [00:59] I strongly assume that you've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD already, dont you? [00:59] Windows. [01:00] I'm not a drivers guy, so my chances of helping you figure this one out are slim to none, but I will say that linux tends to be more geared towards professionals, and no one starts using linux as a pro, it takes a lot of screw ups before you can get it right. I've been using linux going on five years and still consider myself a newb. [01:00] Sunstream: Nvidia doesnt have .debs either, as well as Intel doesnt. So that falsifies your statement. [01:01] It is the most stupidest thing I ever seen why cant they do something like a excutable file instad of me having to go through 100 hoops to get it installed and each hoop is 3x higher.. [01:01] Oh so Video Cards all of them require you to sell your soul to get it to work?! [01:01] there there [01:01] * THK pats Sunstream 's back [01:02] Sunstream: So calm down and start reading the link given - ranting will not change things. [01:02] Look, the install process is near if not the same across the Linux flavors right? [01:02] mmmmmm not quite. [01:02] No, it isnt. [01:03] so i'm installing ubuntu on an old pc, 14.10 from cd and the install keeps failing on "select and install programs" i loaded grub completed setup, rebot and let it bot from hd, it loads but there is no gui...i can ctrl+alt f1...how do i install ubuntu from this console? [01:03] i don't think, for the most part, that linux is really meant for high end graphics and it might be better if you use a dual OS [01:04] Bah I will stick with the offical supported drivers forget proprietary drivers... === percY- is now known as percY-1 [01:04] THK: Your assumption is wrong. === percY-1 is now known as percY- [01:04] linux is awesome better then winblows use open drivers [01:04] Sunstream: Well, it seems you arent willing to receive the information given. [01:04] or less bluntly put, "THK, I would disagree with your assumption." === percY- is now known as percY [01:05] No it seems like AMD wants those who are somewhat above novice to not install these things. Maybe I should take some linux courses [01:05] ah, thk i believe your just wrong windows is extreamly limited === percY is now known as Guest20482 [01:05] it seems like AMD is a big enough company that they could care less about the much smaller userbase of linux, as are the vast majority of companies [01:06] Well that is just plain ignroant [01:06] letstrythis: 1. i would agree with you, windows sucks, which is why i use ubuntu ;), 2. I could care less :) [01:06] Okay apparently the EASIEST way is CLI [01:06] sunstream, thing is amd need people from linux to help suport the drivers [01:06] letstrythis: "installing ubuntu on an old pc" is it hoss enough to run ubuntu ? what processor and how much ram ? [01:06] not entirely. you sell to an audience, it makes sense. BUT, the linux community has made it possible for you to use a huge variety of flavors of hardware and software [01:06] read the link bekks gave you. === Guest20482 is now known as percY- [01:07] Hey guys, anyone here have experience installing packages when trying to customise a livecd image. I'm getting issues with debconf not being installed (desktop 14.10) [01:07] any pc can run ubuntu/liunux its a p4 with 12mb ram xD [01:08] 512mb ram Bashing-om [01:08] I have been === paulbx is now known as pbhx === pbhx is now known as pbx [01:08] the easiest is sudo ./blahblahbla.run [01:08] whats the best way to check and fix errors on usb hard drive .. the only way I know how to fix it is move it to my win system and run partition wizard and do it from there [01:09] Bashing-om: when i tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-* it lists several broken packages for 14.10 but the -f command doesn't fix any of it [01:09] Sorry [01:09] I am not feeling good today and My ex broke up with me yesterday. [01:10] I am in a foul mood but I know better to leave it at the door I am sorry everyone. [01:10] xD [01:10] now your free to find someone better for you === Faylite is now known as metawyrm_ [01:10] you should give your ex a linux box. give her the frustration.

Might try lubuntu or xubuntu . much lighter and less resource hungry . [01:11] hmm i figured that would be an issue but it should freaking install [01:11] roger teward. [01:11] Well teward this did start out of trying to waste my life to install drivers that probally are not as good as the default catalyst drivers that come with the OS [01:12] But I will take it to offtopic.. [01:12] i'm trying to get my bro's pc going and he is familiar with ubuntu's gui...xubuntu threw him for a loop === metawyrm_ is now known as Faylite [01:13] is lbuntu more similar? [01:13] letstrythis: P4 and 512mb of ram, just not going to hack it for ubuntu. For a good experience takes 2 Gigs. [01:19] Hi so I would like to establish a VPN connection. And so far, I have not been successful. I would prefer not to use PTPP but I will. How can I configure this VPN: freevpn.me [01:24] Okay I read that page and it does seem quite a small task to install I do not know if they will be any better anyways [01:24] Sunstream, Me? [01:26] Sunstream: What ATI card ? Older one ? AMD has dropped support for and there is no FGLRX driver . [01:26] nvm [01:28] Newer/older one 6450HD\ [01:28] Radeon HD 6450 [01:29] It came with drivers. [01:29] duckey: so did you try openvpn? [01:30] Yes I dont know any commands [01:30] Sunstream: Good, what offers from : ubuntu-drivers devices . [01:30] ATI binary X.Org driver [01:30] SchrodingersScat, What commands can I use? [01:30] !info network-manager-openvpn | duckey, what about this? [01:30] that apparently works [01:30] duckey, what about this?: network-manager-openvpn (source: network-manager-openvpn): network management framework (OpenVPN plugin core). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.8.4-2ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 20 kB, installed size 109 kB (Only available for linux-any) [01:31] SchrodingersScat, GUI [01:31] ? [01:31] But I did read that document link that was in here earlier. It however is easiest with sudo .\fileneame.run [01:31] duckey: idk, what are you on? [01:32] I have a great deal of respect for Linux because of the fact despite being open source no one really attacks it [01:32] SchrodingersScat, 14.04 [01:33] oooooh now I see [01:33] SchrodingersScat, I already have network-manager-openvpn [01:33] I missed a part of the section I was reading I need to chmod +x drivername.run [01:34] Sunstream: :) chmod . [01:34] Hmm quite a task It may be better for me to stick with the ones that I can get through the software library [01:34] Guys i'm unable to automate ubuntu installs i'm testing with 14.04.2 it keeps seeing multiple interfaces and prompting me to select one before it installs [01:34] yeah [01:34] duckey: does it allow you to configure your vpn? [01:34] chmod +x (makes it executable) [01:35] SchrodingersScat, I have not tried this one yet. What would the commands be? [01:35] rbrown there may be an install script you can use to automate it. [01:35] Sunstream I wrote it myself and from the documentation I'm using [01:35] if I select auto it shouldnt prompt me [01:35] Sunstream: still best for a non-pro to stick with the software rpository. Then the package managr has control, updates do not break the driver . [01:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/preseed-contents.html [01:36] I'm just about ready to go back to centos [01:36] yeah likely defaulting to UNITY if you do not select lower resources one [01:39] SchrodingersScat, What do you use?

Suddenly just lost the functionality of several keys, 'l' 's' 't' '8' '9' in my terminal window, but in my other two windows, and even opening a [02:22] new terminal session, the keys work [02:22] any reason why this would happen?

[09:35] closingin: already installed [09:36] Hounddog_: you kept ignoring my point [09:36] Ben64: no i didnt ;) [09:36] Ben64: you are insisting on shutting it down without knowing what happened [09:36] permitlogin yes but still cant login from my other ubuntu terminal [09:36] Guest94565: do you have an actual need for a newer kernel? the mainline kernels aren't really meant to be run as more than a test [09:36] trying to login as root [09:36] Hounddog_: not at all [09:36] Ben64: also it loos like the server was not compromised [09:37] z1lt0id, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10584562/ [09:37] elasticsearch made many requests.... [09:37] philip: root account is disabled [09:37] z1lt0id, add these three lines in your ovpn file [09:38] does ubuntu server have a GUI by default? [09:38] closingin: and done :) [09:38] Xanather: nope [09:38] z1lt0id, now it should work === Fuchs_ is now known as Fuchs [09:38] Ben64 thanks [09:38] Ben64 well just testing i like to test new things... but also im having some problems when i hibernate ( it doesnt wake up) [09:38] what linux server distro do people recommend for a home server? [09:38] Guest94565, go to arch so [09:39] Xanather, debian always [09:39] also i have problems with drivers with a 1tb WD elements external hard drive [09:39] Xanather: this is not the place to take polls, maybe try ##linux [09:39] Ben64 thanks again :) [09:40] Guest94565: well using those kernel packages can have unforeseen consequences, notably video drivers [09:40] I want to run a launcher that runs a script so it can update Firefox under the filesystem, the command I have is "sudo ~/Firefox_Updating_Script.sh" thescript itself works in the terminal with that command, how do I get this to work? [09:41] just apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade [09:41] dfbdfb: uh, that seems very weird. apt-get will handle upgrades [09:41] Ben64 well i also have two more kenels just in casse that are working reasonably well.. is there any other link where i can get latest kernels ?? [09:42] Guest94565: mainline is your best bet for least breaking of everything [09:42] ben64 how is root account disable [09:42] closingin: thank you so much, you are a life saver [09:43] z1lt0id, yw [09:43] philip: it just is. what are you trying to do === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [09:43] am trying to login through ssh on my terminal as root to a server [09:43] on the server i have enabled permitlogin =yes [09:44] philip: why you do that? [09:44] philip: why dont you login as user and use sudo when its needed? [09:45] I am running an older version of Ubuntu and made a script to update [09:45] Firefox I meant [09:45] dfbdfb: what version of ubuntu [09:45] Unnsupported [09:45] 10.04 [09:45] dfbdfb: you need to upgrade now! [09:45] okay....will do that rather i just like logining as root since its within my network [09:46] dfbdfb: well, if the ubuntu is EOL i would not worry about the firefox but all the other security issues that got it now [09:46] Please just let me be [09:46] philip, never use the root user [09:46] dfbdfb: security issues, its not going to get better, ever [09:46] hey. How can i check how many users i have via terminal? [09:46] umbra_purus: define "users i have" [09:46] who [09:46] Users that I've created using useradd command [09:47] umbra_purus, your brain [09:47] umbra_purus: this will work, but its probably not the best way... "cat /etc/passwd | grep 1[0-9][0-9][0-9]" [09:48] umbra_purus: Those users should appear in your /etc/passwd file. There are a few ways [09:48] lasko: its on a virtual box, but that should not be a point at all [09:48] umbra_purus: cut -d: -f1 < /etc/passwd [09:48] its the same at my colleges vm [09:48] EriC^^: thats all users, not ones added :) [09:49] yeah i know :) [09:50] nevermind umbra_purus [09:52] how can i remotely login using a user account from my terminal [09:52] ssh user@host [09:53] philip, install openssh-server [09:54] then open your ports [09:54] thanks [09:54] then do what Ben64 said [09:54] i have installed openssh [09:54] how will i open my port [09:55] you dont need to if its a standard ubuntu. [09:57] k1l, ... you know what "remote" means ? [09:57] philip, login to your router, and open your ports then [09:57] 5min. ago he said: "its all on my local network only" [09:58] i will rather use user account [09:58] and allow sudo privilegdes [09:59] philip: using rootlogin is a bad habbit, once you are used to it you want it on other machines to. and there is the security issue then [10:01] hello, I get a segmentation fault whenever I run any apt-get command or use the update manager in ubuntu 12.04. please find the content of the core dump _usr_lib_update-notifier_apt_check.py.1000.crash here http://paste.ubuntu.com/10584645/ [10:02] kil thank you so much [10:03] I don't get the cause for the seg fault... I ran updates using the ubuntu update manager for weeks now. no changes on the files /etc/apt.sources.list.d... no new repos have been added [10:08] I just got a new thinkpad and the hardware mouse buttons above the touch pad are all configured weirdly, and i have no idea how to reassign them... any idea? (kubuntu 14.10) [10:08] *mouse [10:09] hoelk, define "configured weirdly" [10:10] the lef tmous ebutton does nothing, the right mouse button is left click, the middle mouse button does nothing [10:11] actually the left mouse buttons scrolls a web page a bit when you click it [10:11] did you try to go to mouse settings ? [10:11] that only gives me the option to switch between right and left handed [10:12] how do i update ubuntu [10:12] how do i write the operand "or" in terminal? [10:12] in the same way that you just simply run windows update [10:12] how can i remotely login using a user account from my terminal [10:12] chinermudge, in terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:12] philip: "ssh user@ip" [10:12] will it give me any hardware updates [10:12] windows used to give me stuff for chipset and graphics [10:13] with windows update [10:13] how do i write the operand "or" in terminal? "And" is && but what about is "or"? [10:13] whats the best browser to use with ubuntu? [10:13] chinermudge: yes, if they are updated in the meantime. [10:13] philip, are you serious? [10:13] cyrix: ask 10 user get 11 best browsers :) [10:13] umbra_purus, || [10:13] yes i am [10:14] so scroll back and you'll get your answer... [10:14] k1l, firefox always freezes up while I'm using pianobar [10:14] i try login using username but still get the same error [10:14] paste the error [10:14] philip: what error? [10:14] so I can write something like this? cat /etc/passwd | grep santos || grep Santos [10:14] Permission denied, please try again. [10:14] to get users that have santos or Santos [10:14] so by typing that into my terminal... im updating my hardware too? [10:14] right? [10:14] umbra_purus: use grep -i santos [10:14] umbra_purus, grep -E "[sS]antos" [10:15] or just possibly im updating my hardware? [10:15] hi guys, is anything else to do for migrating from ubuntu to linux mint other than formating root partition? I want to keep my /home partition [10:15] closingin: what if i write "[sS]antos$"? what does the dollar do? [10:15] ??? [10:15] ^ [10:15] chinermudge: you are mixing hardware and software. [10:15] umbra_purus, "$" means end of the pattern [10:16] what do you mean? [10:16] Ben64: well no it was comprimised actually... because a colleague opened the port to the elastic search they where executing scripts [10:16] closingin: what do yo umean? [10:16] chinermudge: updating hardware means someone changing your video card or cpu. neither ubuntu nor windows can do that [10:16] well it gives you updates [10:16] for things like your graphics [10:17] Permission denied, please try again. [10:17] chinermudge: you mean hardware drivers. for ubuntu most drivers are in the kernel. or shipped as binary blops. the will stay the same for one ubuntu release. [10:17] chinermudge: which ubuntu do you use? [10:17] umbra_purus, with the pattern i sent you will grep "Santosfoo", "santosbar". With the one you sent to me, you will only grep patterns that end with "santos" [10:17] i dont know honestly, i just downloaded the desktop version from the site [10:17] 64 [10:17] philip: are you sure the pw is correct? [10:17] chinermudge: "lsb_release -d" [10:17] umbra_purus, the correct way would be grep -E "^[sS]antos$" [10:18] i typed that other line into the terminal and put in my password and did "y" for yes [10:18] umbra_purus: if you use "grep -i" it doesnt care about case sensitivity [10:18] so its doing something [10:18] philip, this is YOUR computer account you're logging to, rigth? [10:18] *right* [10:19] 14.04.2 lts [10:19] chinermudge: ok. so now please "uname -a" [10:19] varaindemian, backup your data. format at /home. restore your data to /home. [10:20] Hi guys, every time I restart my startup applications restore themselves to the state before my changes === Ullarah is now known as DunkPolice [10:20] So I can't add new startup applications for some reason [10:20] cfhow yes [10:20] chinermudge, if there are updated drivers in your OS, yes === DunkPolice is now known as Ullarah [10:20] kill wats the pw [10:21] philip: the password you use on that remote machine when logining in locally [10:21] i cant copy paste it... after i did u-name [10:21] uname -a [10:21] "uname -a" [10:21] Hi. I need CUDA and PYCUDA (python3) to be installed. If I install CUDA using nvidia repo (via .deb) I get CUDA but installing pycuda removes the CUDA. If I install pycuda then install cuda , there is version number problem. How to get both cuda and pycuda installed [10:22] hi, can anyone running Unity answer a couple of questions? we're working on a bluetooth configuration tool, we added support for most DE, I'd like to add support for ubuntu/unity as well. [10:22] whatever i gotr 54 updates... and i suppose after i restart my performance should be better [10:22] the same password for my machine [10:22] its crappy [10:22] and my fan is on like really high [10:22] chinermudge: what video card you got? [10:22] i dont knw how to look and i dont remember [10:22] this computer was made in 2007 [10:22] clefebvre, you should go to a dev channel [10:23] chinermudge: "lspci" and paste that into a pastebin [10:23] chinermudge, lspci [10:23] closingin, it's not technical, anyone running Ubuntu can do it (saves me a 700MB download) :) [10:23] clefebvre: just ask, we will see if someone can answer that [10:23] still getting the same error 'Permission denied, please try again.' === clopez_ is now known as clopez [10:24] http://pastebin.com/28LhmSQt [10:24] ok, what do you get when typing "echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" [10:24] philip: then your user or password is incorrect [10:24] can someone with 12.04 please check if apt-get update is throwing an error [10:24] clefebvre: Unity [10:24] k1l, thanks [10:24] and what do you get with "wmctrl -m"? [10:25] clefebvre: not installed [10:25] how come it didnt suggest me to reboot after i did that sudo update line [10:25] ? [10:25] Hi folks - what's the best place to ask for help with a mdadm (raid5) issue on ubuntu 14.04? After my server crashed, one of the raids has all drives marked as 'spare' and won't assemble. [10:25] hello [10:25] k1l, ok I'll assume it's Unity as well [10:25] chinermudge: depends on the updates. if thre is no new kernel no reboot is needed [10:26] how are you ? [10:26] closingin: when you said $ greps patterns with Santosfoo and bar what do you meant? what is foo and bar? [10:26] k1l, final questions, can you tell me the name of the commands to respectively open sound settings, keyboard settings and mouse settings in unity? [10:26] i hope my performance gets better when i reboot [10:26] even this chat is laggy [10:26] bye [10:26] umbra_purus, that was just some random strings [10:26] clefebvre: wmctrl its not installed as default. so it will not work for detecting in your script then on a regular ubuntu-desktop. [10:27] k1l, the tool will depend on it [10:27] k1l, so it will be installed [10:27] ah ok [10:27] k1l, also it's one of two methods of detection, if it fails, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is there as a backup [10:27] umbra_purus, so that you understand that grep will defaultly grep everything containing your pattern. Well if you don't know regexp, just use grep -iw "santos" [10:28] clefebvre: iirc unity uses the same settings "programs" like gnome does. [10:28] i dont think my password is wrong [10:28] k1l, "gnome-control-center sound" for instance? [10:29] plz, can someone with 12.04 please check if apt-get update is throwing an error, i checked it inhouse on 3 machines, and i need to clear if it is a maybe a firewall issue or if its an ubuntu issue [10:29] clefebvre: unity-control-center sound [10:29] etc. [10:29] philip: either your username or your password is [10:29] ah thanks EriC^^ [10:29] aciokv: pastebin the error [10:29] clefebvre: yes [10:29] ok guys, many thanks for your help [10:30] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10584761/ [10:30] !paste | aciokv [10:30] aciokv: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

I've got Renoise and Hydrogen already. [10:47] music creation? do you want to record something? if yes, I recommend audacity [10:47] Ullarah: On ubuntu? nope [10:47] FL Studio can run with Wine but it won't be smooth [10:48] enable wine softwar in ubuntu distro [10:48] Ullarah, ardour is a full DAW. audacity is the easier option.

[14:46] !repeat [14:46] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:47] well i'm loosing the hole day i usually help people quick, my fault [14:47] daftykins : it offers me 1.Nvidia binary driver-version 331.113 from nvidia-331(proprieary,tested).....2.Nvidia binary driver-version 331.113 from nvidia-331-updates(proprietary)....and 3.x.org x server-Nouveau display driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau(open source) [14:48] specially on a specialiced channel on half knows the command and is slighty laughing under the noose [14:48] daftykins: i'm currently on 3...not able to switch to 1 or 2 [14:48] scarecrowdiablo: have you attempted to pick any of those, then? [14:48] I am still at a loss as how to change the DNS config in Ubuntu 14.04 [14:49] zetheroo: seriously? so once resolvconf is off, reboot once... then edit /etc/resolv.conf and it'll be fine [14:49] simple. [14:49] daftykins: i have, nothing happens..it just goes back to x.org [14:49] ok thanks for your quick reply, in the future if you need my help i beat you will finish before calling the army [14:49] scarecrowdiablo: ok, "dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit" please [14:49] daftykins: without rebooting [14:50] same process applies then, but your resolv.conf will likely be wiped on next reboot [14:50] and purging resolvconf means removing ubuntu-minimal as well ... [14:50] that's probably only a meta package, but look it up to confirm [14:50] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10585800/ [14:51] scarecrowdiablo: yeah that's a mess too, heh "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " [14:52] scarecrowdiablo: fresh reboot after that and come back :) [14:52] daftykins: on it..be back in a few mins.. [14:54] daftykins : rebooting now [14:54] quit [14:54] ok so when i switched from kernel 3.13 to 3.18 i downgrade back down again to kernel 3.13 from 3.18. now since i have done so there is a ubuntu kylin software center that doesnt work. I reinstalled the standard ubuntu software center but how do i remove that kylin one? [14:54] daftykins: ok, it looks like it would be safe to remove ubuntu-minimal, however is it really needed to reboot the host to get the DNS changed!? [14:55] zetheroo: no, it's just that on the first reboot whatever you put into resolv.conf now will be gone... so i do clean LTS setups of 14.04 like that so that i get the jump on it, so to speak === dbm is now known as Guest91469 [14:56] daftykins: done with reboot [14:56] from a windows laptop i cant connect remotely using putty but with my ubuntu i can i keep getting Permission denied, please try again. [14:57] daftykins: ok, and before you said that I don't want to reinstall resolvconf - why is that? [14:57] zetheroo: because the thing that overrides resolv.conf - *IS* resolvconf! :D [14:58] scarecrowdiablo: ok first "sudo apt-get clean" then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime nvidia-settings" [14:58] daftykins: on iy [14:58] daftykins: huh? ok ... so without the resolvconf package being installed changes manually made to resolv.conf will persist through a reboot? [14:58] scarecrowdiablo: and also "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [14:59] zetheroo: yes, except not the first time [14:59] ok [14:59] hey speaking of nvidia-331, what's the difference between that package and nvidia-331-updates? [14:59] XenophonF: dunno :) [14:59] LOL [14:59] in my experience the two haven't made much difference for others [15:00] from a windows laptop i cant connect remotely using putty but with my ubuntu i can i keep getting Permission denied, please try again. [15:00] ok, here's another one - on my MacBookPro5,1 I had to replace nouveau with nvidia-331 in order to get the console to work [15:00] so how do I go about sharing my experience with replacing those drivers with other MBP users? [15:00] it wasn't immediately obvious how to contribute to the wiki, but maybe i need to rtfm more? [15:00] !mac | XenophonF update the wiki here if it's wrong [15:00] XenophonF update the wiki here if it's wrong: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [15:01] XenophonF: it's a very funny webpage yeah, i've written one of those guides on the 3,1 i believe... (macbook) just login with your account then some editing buttons will appear [15:01] philip, ssh? [15:01] gotcha [15:01] back shortly [15:02] Aamit ssh [15:02] also, it'd weird that the nvidia packages really, _really_ want to install X alongside [15:02] or at least i couldn't figure out how to get just the KMS drivers installed on an Ubuntu Server install [15:02] Aamit yes ssh [15:03] i gave up trying to get Ubuntu Server to work on this mac [15:03] daftykins: installed... [15:03] the chinese software center somehow ended up on my computer how do i remove it? === Bumblefluff is now known as Bumblefluff_dead [15:03] daftykins: here's the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/10585866/ [15:03] its labeled as ubuntu kylin software center [15:03] I believe there's a dependency conflict within some of the Xorg-related packages in the current Ubuntu repositories. Is there a better channel to pursue this? === Bumblefluff_dead is now known as Bumblefluff [15:04] hey guys, when I get a "Ubuntu has experienced an internal error" message, can I look at the error report to see which packages need fixed? [15:04] dell dimension 2400 anyone have a suggestion on a good fast distro for it [15:05] nicomachus: It should be stored in /var/crash/, but it might not be very readable. [15:06] from a windows laptop i cant connect remotely using putty but with my ubuntu i can i keep getting Permission denied, please try again. === Dhs92 is now known as Yukitteru [15:06] if I hit "send error report" it'll bring up the package location of whatever crashed (usually). [15:06] so can I use that to do a --reinstall of those packages, or will that not really do anything to fix? === Yukitteru is now known as Yukkino [15:08] nicomachus, you can disable error reporting if you'd like [15:08] specifically, popcorn-time has been crashing on me consistently lately. The crash report says it is the popcorn-time package in /usr/ or /bin/ (don't remember which) that is crashing [15:08] EriC^^: I like them for now, because they tell me specifically which packages are failing. [15:08] the dns always gone in /etc/resolv.conf. where do i add the DNS and NTP? [15:08] I have a fresh install of 14.04.2 Desktop. I do dist-upgrade, and then attempt to add spice-vdagent and xserver-xorg-video-qxl and I get conflicts. [15:08] nicomachus, popcorn-time is highly illegal, unsupported here [15:09] where does resolv.conf get it's information from? [15:10] not from /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base, head or tail ... so where!? [15:10] zetheroo: Among other places, from the network cfg scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifg-* [15:11] and not from /etc/network/interfaces either [15:11] s/ifg/ifcfg/ [15:11] bobdrad1: how does one change the contents of resolv.conf? [15:12] zetheroo, you can edit it for an immediate runtime change. But for a persistent change I add DNS1 and DOMAIN records to my appropriate ifcfg-* scripts, or to /etc/sysconfig/network for a global change. [15:12] and I have no " /etc/sysconfig" [15:13] ok, what does " ifcfg-* scripts" mean? [15:13] zetheroo: Humble apologies, that's true for other distros, not Deb/Ubuntu it appears [15:13] this stuff used to be much simpler ... :P [15:14] Yeah, it used to be consistent [15:14] changing DNS shouldn't be this complex [15:15] zetheroo: Start by reading the resolvconf man page. [15:15] all over the net people are saying to edit '/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base' and then do 'resolvconf -u' ... and that that sorts out resolv.conf - but this doesn;t work for me at all [15:16] well I am trying to get my head around this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/resolvconf.8.html [15:17] scarecrowdiablo: are you sure this isn't either 14.04.2 or 14.10? (run "cat /etc/issue" ) [15:17] OerHeks: I understand your sentiment, although untrue (legality is ambiguous). I can talk about it in general terms of how to fix a corrupted package. [15:17] daftykins: in about this computer , it says ubuntu 14.04 lts [15:17] daftykins: running it now [15:18] daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l [15:19] zetheroo, have you looked in to dnsmasq? [15:19] no [15:19] scarecrowdiablo: ok, makes sense. now do you have another computer to come online from if it doesn't boot correctly after some more commands? [15:20] or perhaps another OS on that one [15:20] sudormrf: is this something additional to resolvconf? [15:20] zetheroo, dnsmasq is installed/enabled by default in newer versions of ubuntu, this could be part of the issue you are experiencing. === TheHonorableKitt is now known as lewronggeneratio [15:20] zetheroo, yes. it writes information to resolv.conf [15:20] daftykins: yeah..i have another computer collecting dust..can use that.. [15:20] ok === lewronggeneratio is now known as THK [15:20] nicomachus, channel rules i guess, remove that package and see if you still have issues [15:20] zetheroo: what i've pointed to is already enough to handle the issue ;) i wouldn't worry about what sudormrf is saying - but you can certainly read more into the topic === THK is now known as TheHonorableKitt [15:21] hi [15:21] where should production code be placed in? [15:21] scarecrowdiablo: ok, shouldn't come to that with any luck. are you ok enough on the command line to rename a file if it doesn't boot correctly? or could you boot a flash drive of ubuntu again? [15:21] somewhere like /opt? /srv? [15:21] crap, removing dnsmasq wants to tear out a bunch of libvirt stuff too :P [15:22] zetheroo: and this is why we kindly accept sudormrf's advice but don't act on it ;) [15:22] sudormrf: <3 [15:22] daftykins: I am just not able to reboot this machine - it's a KVM host :P [15:22] daftykins: i gotta go for like 10-20 minutes..i'll get the other computer and be ready by then...and i'm pretty bad with command line.. [15:22] :D [15:23] zetheroo, daftykins knows everything. no one else knows anything ;D [15:23] daftykins: i have a few important files on this..'ll copy it to my Hd.. [15:23] So I guess changing DNS settings on Ubuntu is a nightmare now ... it used to be just a matter of editing a single conf file [15:23] sudormrf: preci... hey wait a minute! [15:24] zetheroo: yep, my process of clean server installs is: dist-upgrade, purge resolvconf, configure /etc/network/interfaces for static IP and reboot, then hardcode DNS in /etc/resolv.conf and it's done [15:24] sudormrf: no, thank for the hint. Actually I recall having removed that package elsewhere and it solved this issue ... but I cannot remove it from here as it wants to tear out other things that I need ;) [15:24] far too much automagic junk these days. [15:24] dnsmasq is more a parent of resolvconf i think [15:24] daftykins: aha - so from the onset you purge out resolveconf [15:24] but my way works, since it's what i suggested [15:24] ok [15:25] zetheroo: yep :) not fond of that automatic rubbish [15:25] doesn't belong on a server imo [15:25] So really I need to migrate all these VM's off and then get this server rebooted etc ... [15:25] I agree!!!! === gareth_ is now known as Guest98669 [15:26] ok, I guess I will have to wait on this change then - thanks again for your help. === sdefresne is now known as sdefresne_away [15:26] no problemo === mkv is now known as m4v [15:28] daftykins, what was your suggestion to zetheroo to solve the problem? j/w [15:30] purge resolveconf package - reboot - edit resolv.conf with nameservers [15:30] zetheroo, ah. gotcha. let us know if it works ;). [15:30] will do ... though it won't be today - gotta offload these VM's ... somewhere ... :P [15:33] Hi, i remembered of a funny linux utility, i once installed years ago.. maybe ubuntu 8.* or 9.* [15:33] It was about "sex" :)) [15:33] it was giving some offensive/errotic (not sure) output [15:34] DAE used it? :D [15:34] not sure about it's package name [15:34] you're on your own with that one, MortezaE [15:34] daftykins, just searching it for fun ;) [15:37] whats the 15.04 channel again? [15:37] #ubuntu+1 i guess [15:38] bindi, 10x [15:40] exit [15:41] daftykins: ok..i'm back..sorry about that..i booted up the other computer.. [15:43] daftykins: i'm on the other system now. [15:43] scarecrowdiablo1: ok on the asus, try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then reboot [15:44] do kernel updates ever surpass the capabilities of older mobos/CPUs, or should they be pretty universally compatible? [15:44] nicomachus: what are you planning on doing? :) [15:44] daftykins: WARNING: Unable to locate/open X configuration file. New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' === TheHonorableKitt is now known as g5vr0che [15:45] scarecrowdiablo: yep all safe, reboot :> [15:46] daftykins: phew...so glad..on it.. === g5vr0che is now known as TheHonorableKitt [15:48] daftykins: done with the reboot...will come online with asus in a minute..

[15:51] well..before it had barely few options..now it has..x-server info,x-server display config, x screen 0 . gpu 0 ,prime profiles, etc [15:52] scarecrowdiablo: excellent, sounds like a success. to double check, can you do a "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" again? [15:52] daftykins: it just froze..the screen.. [15:53] daftykins: shall i reboot it and try again? [15:53] daftykins: just getting an error from Software Update when it tries to update the kernel to 3.13.0-46 [15:53] Hmm, anybody here who had the same problem of Thunderbird disappearing from the left bar? I didn't, but my (not so tech-savvy) gramps did, and so did some random Ubuntu reviewer on the internet, I just wanted to check if more people had it (and if it's a bug of some sorts; if so, if it's already reported) [15:54] nicomachus: what kind of error? [15:54] I also get Kernel Panic errors every other startup [15:54] scarecrowdiablo1: hrmm, so it keps showing the desktop image - but would no longer change? no mouse pointer movement, no keyboard presses etc? [15:54] don't have the computer in front of me ATM, but it was a package manager error, I believe [15:54] daftykins: Exactly! [15:54] very unspecific error report. [15:54] scarecrowdiablo1: weird. [15:54] !reisub [15:54] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [15:55] scarecrowdiablo1: try ^ [15:55] which admittedly requires quite the keyboard gymnastics [15:55] daftykins: lol..on it [15:55] daftykins: that's super handy to know, as a general FYI. haha [15:56] nicomachus: ok well get the error to us when you can :) that's where to start [15:56] daftykins: done.. [15:57] " specifically, popcorn-time has been crashing on me consistently lately. The crash report says it is the popcorn-time package in /usr/ or /bin/ (don't remember which) that is crashing" [15:57] scarecrowdiablo1: did it reboot? [15:58] help, can't put files over ftp - 550 no such file - but it is there [15:58] daftykins: yeah..http://paste.ubuntu.com/10586137/ [15:59] daftykins: ran that command you said earlier.. [15:59] dell dimension 2400 anyone have a suggestion on a good fast distro for it [16:00] mainbrain: since you ask in #ubuntu: ubuntu :) [16:00] scarecrowdiablo1: looks good, properly using the nvidia driver now. make sure you're fully up to date with a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then just see how you get on [16:00] mainbrain, let me think ... ubuntu! [16:00] daftykins: it froze again... :( [16:01] daftykins: was trying to log into the irc and it just froze.. [16:01] mainbrain: since it seems to bee quite old see if Lubuntu fits better [16:01] hrmm [16:01] trt it but it lagging when i play video im runnung ubuntu 14.10 on my acer just fine [16:01] scarecrowdiablo1: ok is ubuntu the only OS on this or is it beside Windows 8? [16:01] mainbrain, lubuntu or xubuntu. lubuntu is optimized for legacy and low spec hardware [16:01] daftykins: only ubuntu. [16:02] OerHeks: Why did you quote that? [16:03] nicomachus, as you said 'very unspecific error report." which is not true [16:03] ok im running lubuntu on it right now got 1 problem ... vlc want play video getting audio though [16:03] scarecrowdiablo1: alright, see if you can get in again to run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old" [16:03] OerHeks: The kernel issue and the popcorn-time issue are separate. Possibly related, but not that I can determine yet. [16:04] daftykins: will reboot and try that.. === mkv is now known as m4v [16:06] daftykins: tried that..nothing happened.. [16:06] daftykins: i mean, no output of any sort.. [16:06] scarecrowdiablo1: that's correct, and reboot again [16:07] on it [16:07] ok im running lubuntu on it right now got 1 problem ... vlc want play video getting audio though funny thing is that i can open video with system settings while vlc is playing and the video will glitch in/out [16:07] mainbrain: do you mean VLC WON'T play video but you are getting audio? [16:07] daftykins: Done [16:07] correct [16:08] mainbrain: sounds like some video driver issue [16:08] mainbrain: sounds like a GPU or codec issue. what's the file type? [16:08] scarecrowdiablo1: this time, "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " as earlier, then "sudo apt-get clean" then "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa" [16:08] cool..on it [16:08] .avi mostly [16:09] mainbrain: so you get the same problem with .avi and other file types? More than one type? [16:10] I ask because .avi is a tricky file type for VLC in linux. something like .mkv or .mp4 should play just fine. so if you can play an .mp4 or .mkv with no errors, then it's likely a codec issue trying to decode the .avi [16:10] try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/166311/cannot-play-avi-or-mp4-file-in-both-movie-player-and-vlc [16:10] daftykins: Done.. [16:11] Hey [16:11] I got a Macmini here with Ubuntu 12.04 on it [16:11] congrats, GoatMaster [16:11] scarecrowdiablo1: "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get install nvidia-346 nvidia-settings" === nicomachus is now known as everyone [16:11] I now want to reinstall Ubuntu, how can I boot from the install cd [16:12] starting it with alt will not work... [16:12] no it being the same way for all video file types that i can recall [16:12] GoatMaster, CD? not USB? [16:12] GoatMaster: make a flash drive instead. === everyone is now known as Guest72638 [16:12] !mac | GoatMaster [16:12] GoatMaster: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages === Guest72638 is now known as nicomachus [16:12] The first installation with the CD worked fine but no I cannot boot into the CD [16:12] even with holding alt at the start... [16:13] no it being the same way for all video file types that i can recall and youtube does fine [16:13] GoatMaster, see the mac support pages provided in the link [16:13] cfhowlett, thanks I will check the manuel [16:14] daftykins: done with apt-get update [16:14] and the other one too? [16:15] it needs to download 287 mb.. [16:15] running it [16:15] ah, slow tubes? [16:15] not that slow, but kinda.. [16:17] scarecrowdiablo1: Just an FYI, there are plenty of open apartments here in KC that are already wired for Google Fiber. ;) [16:17] nicomachus: why you make me crie? :'( [16:17] lets stay on topic peeps [16:18] aw, i was trying to instill hope! And sorry, daftykins. [16:19] daftykins: Done.. [16:19] scarecrowdiablo1: reboot again :> [16:19] on it [16:19] good thing Ubuntu only takes about 30 seconds to reboot... jesus. [16:20] maybe if you're using an antique [16:20] daftykins: done with reboot.. [16:21] see what nvidia-settings says and whether it freezes now [16:21] lol, daftykins' i7 with the OS loaded on SSD only takes 5 seconds? [16:21] jeezus!..Froze [16:21] ugh. [16:21] nicomachus: thats not true. I do have an i7, and I do have a SSD. It takes longer than 5s. [16:22] nicomachus, same here --- [16:22] bekks: an exaggeration. [16:23] nicomachus: 30s reboot time is pretty fast. Very often the BIOS part takes 10-20s, so the boot process is done with 10-15s. Not calculating the time to shutdown. [16:23] nicomachus thanks it was my video output settings they must got changed on accident thanks again [16:23] has anyone gotten fitbit program to work in ubuntu [16:23] mainbrain: I'm glad to finally be helping in this channel instead of seeking it! [16:23] Basketball: it's windows and mac only [16:23] daftykins: i was able to switch to nvidia before..it used to freeze..tried x.org..stopped freezing..read forums online, they said 'need bumblebee'..installed bumblebee..didnt help..i couldnt switch to nvidia anymore and i ended up here [16:24] scarecrowdiablo1: yeah prime was meant to replace that though, plus bumblebee is more for optimus setups and i don't think yours is one [16:24] nicomachus yeah cant wait to start helping also [16:25] someones gotta take the load off daftykins! [16:25] lol, i'm by far not the most active [16:25] daftykins : do i reboot the asus? [16:25] is it [16:25] oobutunu [16:25] or [16:25] obuuntu [16:25] ? [16:26] wkejrnjkl: look it up on youtube perhaps :P [16:26] scarecrowdiablo1: i really don't know what to suggest now, that's two different driver versions that aren't happy bunnies... [16:26] daftykins, youuuutube or youtuuuube [16:26] ikonia, so there is no way [16:26] Basketball: there isn't a linux version [16:27] daftykins: damn..should i switch back to x.org to prevent freeze? [16:27] scarecrowdiablo1: just run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " [16:27] scarecrowdiablo1: i think that machine would rather be on Windows, seems a bit more of a gaming type [16:27] hi, what's the channel for ubuntu touch/phone? [16:28] Briankan: #ubuntu-touch [16:28] !help ubuntu channels [16:28] Briankan: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:28] thanks [16:28] daftykins: yeah, used to game a lot..quit now..plus , kinda sick of windows too.. [16:28] oh wow, I didn't know there was a separate channel for touch [16:28] they keep them hidden :> [16:29] nicomachus: can you start filtering your comments to support only, please :/ chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:29] daftykins: done with purge nvidia* [16:29] daftykins: you got it, sorry, my self-control is terrible. [16:29] well its not hidden. its just seperated since the support differs heavily from the desktop right now [16:29] scarecrowdiablo1: ok, restart and you'll be pretty much back where you started :( [16:30] Anyone using ubuntu mate? [16:30] daftykins: cool.. [16:30] I am unsure which iso to download for my laptop. [16:30] newbiemate: some might. but what is you real question? [16:31] daftykins: thanks a lot though... [16:31] daftykins, found it ;) "purity-off" [16:31] scarecrowdiablo1: no worries, we tried! 15.04 might have a better chance once it's out [16:31] daftykins: is 14.10 any better? [16:31] scarecrowdiablo1: nah, you're also already using its' kernel. [16:32] daftykins: guess i'll be running on this till 15.04 is released.. [16:32] kkkkkkkgk [16:32] scarecrowdiablo1: keep in mind you need to upgrade the ubuntu release every 6 months once you leave the 14.04 LTS [16:32] how can i set envelop indicator? [16:33] krabador: can you explain a bit more? [16:33] k1l_ : guess i'll be sticking to 14.04 for a while then...thanks :) [16:34] k1l_, hi, i would know if it's possible to set what let appear in envelope indicator [16:34] like if xchat and not pidgin, not thunderbird, ecc [16:35] krabador: theoretically yes. but that will be a lot of work, imho [16:35] a LOT. I tried once. [16:35] easier to just purge pidgin and thunderbird. [16:36] alright...guys..i've got one more problem.. [16:36] not able to run 'Steam'.. [16:36] k1l_, oh, great, i supposed i missed some menu [16:36] scarecrowdiablo1: I think they've released Steam for Linux now, but it still runs WAY better under WINE === k1l_ is now known as k1l [16:37] nicomachus: that's a very dubious claim [16:37] a lot of your games will be incompatible though. see here: https://appdb.winehq.org/ [16:37] daftykins: why dubious/ [16:37] !paste | scarecrowdiablo1 [16:37] scarecrowdiablo1: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [16:37] scarecrowdiablo1: what have you tried? "sudo apt-get install steam" worked fine for me [16:38] nicomachus: will give it a try.. [16:38] trust daftykins over me. always. [16:38] Um, is there a version of rm accepting only a single argument? [16:38] scarecrowdiablo1: fwiw nicomachus is giving pretty bad advice imo, i would not touch WINE when there's a native program [16:38] Gamoder_: what? [16:38] daftykins: some problem with 32-bit libraries..since i'm running a 64 bit os , etc..got it from the steam website,which redirected me to software centre [16:39] daftykins: wont try it.. [16:39] yeah don't use a manual download [16:39] scarecrowdiablo1: we cant help you if we need to guess what the issue is. please give exact details and whole errormessages in pastebin [16:39] just run the above command [16:39] daftykins: will log-in using the other system.. [16:40] scarecrowdiablo1: and steam works fine for me on 64bit OS so please share the exact errors [16:40] daftykins: A version of rm accepting only e.g. rm bla*.doc, but not rm bla *.doc [16:40] but well ... as I thought of it, the *-expansion is done by the bash, right? [16:40] so this cannot be done probably [16:40] daftykins: trying it.. [16:41] steam is not doing all the work to port the games to linux just to people on linux run wine again m( [16:44] daftykins: worked like a charm!..thanks a ton! [16:44] np [16:44] k1l : sorry about that..thanks :) === tommylommykins is now known as tommylommy12345 === tommylommy12345 is now known as tommylommykins [16:53] ok, I am taring a file from an external drive to a sshfs mount point why is it taking up space on my local hdd? [16:53] and the worst part is I cant find where it using up the space. [16:53] /tmp perhaps [16:53] nope [16:54] and whats weirder is the space stays taken up even after a reboot. [16:55] the only way I can get the space back is to start the tar again and stop it right away. [16:57] linux4u, : /mnt ? [16:57] i made a usb boot stick with ubuntu using unetbootin. when i try to boot from it, i get a blank screen. can i make it somehow log all it tries to do to a textfile on the stick? otherwise this is impossible to troubleshoot [16:57] hmm, interesting why there? [16:58] i1x2n37: which OS did you make it with? [16:58] its a osx thumbdrive [16:58] daftykins: archlinux [16:58] linux4u, : the mount point [16:58] i1x2n37: use 'dd' instead. === sins-_c is now known as sins- [16:58] hi, does someone know how to install a non-pae kernel? [16:58] known problems with unetbootin? i used it successfully in the past [16:59] the package without the pae suffix seems to install a pae kernel [16:59] ioria, no its creating the files in the mount point but its also taking up space on the disk. [16:59] jmss: everythings PAE nowadays. === martijn is now known as Guest40262 [17:00] daftykins, but if you use forcepae option in grub it will work on non-pae [17:00] Hi! Xubuntu 14.04 fresh install. Is trim function enabled in this version? I have a 250Gb SSD. Thanks. [17:01] linux4u, : did you edit the fstab with a permanent mount point ? [17:01] gabb0: yes [17:01] Kll thanks :) [17:01] gabb0: there should be a cronjob running trim from time to time [17:01] hey, anyone know how to query a bash program from rails? [17:02] or to install a bash program into a rails app [17:02] Good to know. I've been on 12.04 the whole time. Don't care for 14.04 unity myself.. x tho, love it. [17:02] hmm, it seems to not be doing it with a fat32 usb disk. [17:02] could it be a bug in the hpfs(extfat) driver? [17:03] but whats weird is I did another hpfs disk and it didnt seem to do that. [17:03] and I have reproduced it a couple of times with the osx one. [17:04] Is it good practice to do this on a fresh install? ---> sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [17:04] gabb0: depends what you're trying to achieve [17:04] if you're just running it 'because' then i would say it's not very wise [17:05] linux4u: are you talking about trim? [17:05] daftykins, well my wifi is detected in the additional drivers.. shall I assume the OS understands it and should work? I don't mean to appear chicken, I just wondered about adding the firmware to avoid potential pitfalls is all...thanks. [17:05] linux4u: ah sorry. that was another issue. thought you were answering to the trim question [17:06] hello :-) i'm a little bit noob about reading/writing permissions in linux.. but why isn't /usr/share writable? is it supposed to be or not? and is there a folder that is writable by anyone in ubuntu? [17:06] gabb0: if additional drivers offer something, go that route first before trying any manual approaches :) [17:06] ioria, no, I am using sshfs [17:07] kll sorry, for the misinfo [17:07] ok daftykins thanx for heads up [17:08] RickyB98, you can specify a universal folder if you wanted to. for sharing purpose? [17:08] gabb0, i need php to be able to write a file [17:08] and an application running in my home to read it [17:08] i mean, php from the web [17:09] i dont do web stuff but you can make a dir under /var/www (?) and make it global.. whether that is best practice I am not certain. [17:09] from a internet security standpoint. [17:10] neither am i.. that's why i'm asking.. coz it's pretty much easy to chmod 777 a dir.. but that's not the safest option [17:10] no, you should definitely never 777 things, that's the schoolboy error #1 [17:10] daftykins: amazing, dd worked. thank you so much [17:10] i1x2n37: no problemo [17:10] simplicity is key \o/ [17:11] :) [17:11] now i can fix my broken windows with linux :) [17:11] daftykins, exactly.. [17:11] RickyB98, might wanna check a PHP forum or ask in reddit/r/php [17:11] reddit.com/r/php i meant [17:11] okay.. will do [17:11] RickyB98: so what's PHP running from? apache? [17:11] thanks :-) [17:11] daftykins, yes [17:11] so where's your PHP file? [17:12] /var/www/mysite/file.php === TheHonorableKitt is now known as THKITT [17:12] RickyB98: ok, so "ls -al /var/www/mysite" to look at the permissions, if you want to modify a file in that path or another path - have that path or file owned by the user apache excutes as (likely www-data) [17:12] *executes [17:13] yeah, www-data runs php [17:13] so you mean.. i should chown that file to www-data? === THKITT is now known as TheHonorableKitt [17:14] RickyB98: well no, www-data is the user that's enacting whatever your PHP file says to do... so if it's saying "do something with /usr/share/blah" then you'll need to have /usr/share/ owned by www-data and relevant read+write permissions [17:15] daftykins, that's close to what i said.. [17:15] i think that's the best solution.. thanks ^_^ === Abhishek__ is now known as Abhishek_ [17:16] oi [17:16] ola [17:16] dsadsaf [17:16] qw [17:16] easda [17:16] dqsdfc0reqfifdas [17:16] aDFASDFWQERQ [17:16] ER [17:17] k1l, then looking that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu [17:18] !ping [17:18] pong!

[17:33] and it is doing it with a fat32 disk as well, its not just osx disks [17:33] why do you keep saying OS X disks? what's OS X related? [17:34] earlier you mentioned a HPFS which hasn't been relevant since the 80s/90s :D [17:34] the one I had the problem was an osx thumbdrive and it shows up as hpfs/exfat in fdisk. thats why. [17:35] mmmhmm [17:36] but its not related, fat32 disk does same thing, these are thumb drives, but I dont that matters. === sandeep is now known as Guest63300 [17:36] yeah i just wondered if you had been misled on file systems [17:38] no it mounts fine, but its the weirdest thing, everything I have read says tar does not use temp files and yet something is eating up the disk space. [17:38] i didn't say anything about mounting :) [17:38] would running lsof in another terminal give a clue? [17:38] * gabb0 is clueless though.

Somehow in my Ubuntu, ifconfig shows wan instead of eth0. What could be the reason? /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules show eth0 and also /etc/network/interfaces does not have wan as well. Any idea why it might be showing wan instead of eth0? [17:48] nope strace did not reveal any files that I could see except for the ones being read and written. [17:49] im out of my league linux4u. never had to do that sort of investigation myself. [17:49] cihhan: keep a backup of persistent-net then comment out that line and reboot perhaps [17:50] daftykins, i have deleted rules and rebooted and it still does the same [17:50] ah, ah well. [17:50] what's wrong with the name being different, exactly? [17:51] well im trying to use iptraf and it doesnt like the name change... [17:52] and also i need to do many configurations due to the change now and i dont want to do it if possible [17:53] i tried to install ubuntu on laptop alongside win8, but it is not booting from cd [17:54] cihhan: sooo, look up interface renaming? pretty sure there are plenty of posts on it [17:54] thanks daftykins, i ll check it more detailed again [17:55] sandeep_, the bios is set to boot the cd first? and not uefi? [17:56] i already set it [17:56] compdoc thanq for your responce [17:57] sandeep_, do other bootable cds work? ruling out a bad burn is all [17:57] it is uefi enabled , i bought it yesterday [17:57] nope strace did not reveal anything either.

[19:03] hfsladmin_: boot to live CD and do an fsck there [19:03] i am actually trying to install Hadoop [19:03] arooni-mobile: if you run: alsamixer Are all levels maxed and unmuted? [19:03] i was following the instructions , not sure if something went [19:03] ohai :) [19:03] wrong [19:04] ActionParsnip, yes but i do recall doing this " 52 options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo enable=1 index=0 position_fix=1" to my alsa-base.conf ... but maybe i should take that out and see how it runs [19:04] dataangel: right, so you'd have to have a starup script/program that keeps it running. You can hack that into a bash script, but maybe there's a way to get the upstart functionality when you log in [19:04] ActionParsnip: do i neeed to install CD and boot ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:07] Okay, but this is a very big ask :) Thank you. [19:07] has anyone gotten fitbit program to work in ubuntu [19:07] dexter__: well then ask a short question which covers most of the problem [19:08] dexter__: I would recommend simply posting a short summarry of the problem you're having, along with a single pastebin containing all of the logs and error messages (or maybe multiple pastebins, whichever is likely to be easier to work with for someone looking through it). If you don't get a response here, then file a bug report (assuming that you are encountering a bug).

[19:11] On Windows, I had Speedfan beeping obnoxiously whenever my CPU was too hot. Anybody know how I can do the same in Ubuntu? Psensor won't do anything more than a pop-up notification and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make gkrellm just beep.

[19:12] ActionParsnip, whoa long time no chat [19:12] I've got lmsensors installed and working, but it doesn't seem to have an alarm function. [19:14] How do you mount a remote folder in such a way that it is available regardless of whether you're accessing it via the LAN (192.168.x.x) or via a WAN (using DDNS)? [19:15] ActionParsnip, i'm back [19:15] so i revmoed that line and nothigchanged [19:16] the-solipsist: use SFTP and connect to the wan IP.

[20:05] i don't see anything about webcam in lspci and lsusb list [20:05] is there anything else to see what it is? [20:05] I think I found a bug in the Ubuntu installer. It's inviting me to "Connect this computer to a wi-fi network..." but I'm on wired ethernet. I'm pretty sure I already have a fast good connection. [20:06] ankk: have you installed drivers for this webcam? [20:06] nope [20:06] i don't know the exact model [20:06] i'm trying to find it [20:06] i connected remotely [20:06] I booted into "Install Ubuntu", is there any way to bring up a terminal in that? I guess I should have booted into "Try Ubuntu" and then run the installer, but the instructions didn't suggest that as an option.

I can only select one of my Hard Drives during side-by-side installation of xubuntu 14.10 x64 , even though the system detects all drives. BIOS HDD mode is set to RAID. How can I force the installer to let me install to that drive? [20:24] xSolidState: which raid? [20:25] lyze, no, I have a raid array, but im not installing there. In my bios i can select modes for the HDDS, IDE, AHCI, RAID. Its on raid because i have an array.

Or will that break something? [20:30] xSolidState: which one is the 'advanced' one? [20:31] Hey, are there any good window managers for Ubuntu that support small screens; i.e. about 300x300 pixels? [20:31] what's the actual command that's run when I use ctrl+shift+n in gnome-terminal? [20:31] because is handy, but I want to be able to call it from other processes [20:31] joshumax: well i guess some window manager which just tiles those windows [20:32] i3wm perhaps then? [20:32] SchrodingersScat, the one that pops up if you click 'advanced Partitioning tool' (translated from german) in the installation process. Not really sure what that is called [20:32] Its not gparted [20:32] joshumax: yeah something like this :) [20:32] Although it's really a poor choice for a touchscreen device... [20:33] joshumax: thats also true [20:33] ...Ugh I really don't feel like building a custom one with Xlib and FLTK...not again [20:34] joshumax: http://www.plasma-active.org/ http://alone-in-the-light.zenvoid.org/2012/09/desktop-for-tablets-and-mobile-devices.html [20:34] SchrodingersScat, do you think i could try resizing the partition on my preferred install drive, create a new one and see if the installer finds it? [20:34] I should also note that the device I'm messing around with has an TI OMAP cpu clocked at about 600Mhz [20:35] so what [20:36] there isn't anyway to detect an unknown webcam on linux? [20:36] ankk: What? [20:36] joshumax, we have a notebook [20:36] Okay... [20:36] it has an unknown model [20:37] Sure... [20:37] and we do not know anything about its webcam specs [20:37] we need to use this webcam [20:37] I see [20:37] but we are sure, there is a builtin webcam [20:37] ankk: we established that your notebook is a Clevo W650EH [20:37] Does it spit out a vendor ID on the kernel log at boot? [20:37] joshumax, i checked it but i couldn't find it [20:37] treelzebub, it is not.. [20:38] linux shows just a chipset model maybe. i don't know [20:38] i learned its model but it is a local manufacturer [20:38] Hmm...I wonder if you have to send some special initialization code to it [20:39] Well does your laptop come with nonfree installation software (i.e. a Windows support disk?) [20:39] ankk: okay, let me rephrase. dmidecode returned that your notebook is using the W650EH chipset. [20:39] treelzebub, yes [20:39] hello everyone [20:40] ankk: please confirm webcam is plugged directly into your motherboard, not USB [20:40] If it odes I'd just grok around to see if the webcam drivers are in there to find your webcam model [20:40] s/odes/does/ [20:40] treelzebub, yes. it is builtin webcam [20:40] ankk, lsusb should list the webcam id [20:40] ankk, lspci -k, should show you the devices in the system and a device id and if one is loaded what the kernel module is that's used for the device [20:41] lsusb for usb devices [20:41] * OerHeks bets on lspci [20:41] pavlos: If it's built in it might use PCI instead [20:41] it is not usb webcam [20:41] ankk, lspci -k [20:41] Anyone know how to clear this: [20:41] ok i'll paste it here [20:41] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/fD89j9ZA [20:41] ankk, use pastebin [20:42] Im trying to install something else completely different. [20:42] ankk, if you're dumping multiple lines [20:42] yay dependency hell [20:42] I just want this to go away so I can use apt-get to install gdb [20:42] NetworkingPro: Check aptitude for resolutions [20:42] Yea joshumax I don't even care if that gets installed. I just want me other app installed. [20:42] I did do that, got not success. [20:43] One of the sysadmins left this nugget of goodness for me. [20:43] What do oyu mean by "no success?" [20:43] Is there no way to tell apt-get to just forget about it. [20:43] NetworkingPro, if you're not using the package it's trying to install you can just remove it [20:43] s/oyu/you/ [20:43] NetworkingPro: where are you getting that package from [20:43] looks like it's coming from a PPA with dependencies it can't resolve [20:44] NetworkingPro, the solution maybe: did you perform 'apt-get -f install' as the error suggested? [20:44] ikonia: Not sure.. . I didnt try to install this. One of the sys admins tried, failed, and left this mess for someone else to find. [20:44] OerHeks: Yes [20:44] 1 sec [20:44] NetworkingPro: would it not be better to wait for the sys admin to resolve it [20:44] NetworkingPro: if he's changed the repos for a reason you won't know it [20:44] why is gdb even trying to fetch salt-minion? [20:44] ikonia: Hes been fired for stupid stuff like thos. [20:45] *this [20:45] wafflejock, https://paste.ee/p/Ek79y [20:45] joshumax: where does it say anything about gdb ? [20:45] NetworkingPro: look at what repos its using then [20:45] NetworkingPro "I just want this to go away so I can use apt-get to install gdb" [20:45] NetworkingPro: look at which repo it's coming from [20:45] I presumed NetworkingPro was trying to install gdb, no? [20:45] ikonia: Im trying to get this garbage out of the apt-get "queue" so I can install GDB [20:46] joshumax: right, it's not gdb doing this [20:46] NetworkingPro: find out what repos you have on your system and what repo this package is coming from [20:46] NetworkingPro: Ah, makes mroe sense [20:46] s/mroe/more/ [20:46] treelzebub, joshumax, https://paste.ee/p/Ek79y do you see a webcam :) [20:46] Darn new keyboard [20:46] NetworkingPro: apt-cache policy salt-minion salt-common [20:46] Is there no way to tell apt-get to basically forget about it, and get ready for the next pacakge? [20:46] NetworkingPro: why are you not doing what you've been asked to do [20:47] LOL, found a bug i guess. If i dont mount any of my drives. it will only let me install to sdc. If i mount sdc and sdb i can install to sda lmao [20:47] ikonia: Because 10 people are saying different shit? [20:47] ankk, don't see it in there at all... makes me think it's not connected or not functioning [20:47] NetworkingPro: no need to swear [20:47] ankk: No... But your laptop uses a Xeon? [20:47] NetworkingPro: people are not saying different stuff you are not doing any of it, you're just asking how to make it ignore it [20:47] which is not an option [20:47] joshumax, nice yeah? :) [20:47] ikonia: Ah, so theres the first answer. thanks [20:48] Yeah, and I bet it would be nicer if it had a working webcam! xD [20:48] 1 sec [20:48] ankk, even if the device doesn't have a module loaded or isn't functioning at a software level it should show up here if the hardware is connected and working and isn't usb connected [20:48] What's your laptop model ankk? [20:48] ankk, you can try lsusb as well just for the heck of it but it should be here if it's built-in [20:48] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/LROINS43 [20:48] NetworkingPro: please answer the questions [20:49] wafflejock, it is builtin [20:49] NetworkingPro: what repos is this package coming from [20:49] ankk, have you seen the camera work with any OS? if not I would suspect a hardware problem [20:49] joshumax, it is a local brand.. [20:49] 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/saltstack/salt/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages is what I get when I check above. [20:49] ankk: is there possibly a switch or FN+ combo to turn the cam on/off? [20:49] and there isn't enough technical specs [20:49] So I would assume 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/saltstack/salt/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ikonia [20:49] oh man i hope this doesnt break my ssd [20:50] ikonia: Its all stock, no custom PPAs [20:50] ankk: No online driver info online either? [20:50] i just pressed space and it skipped an error message, that just popped up. [20:50] NetworkingPro: ok, so you need to remove the packages and remove that ppa [20:50] NetworkingPro: you've just posted a PPA [20:50] NetworkingPro: it's not stock [20:50] good point treelzebub haven't seen hardware toggles for cameras but that could do it too [20:50] how can you say "it's stock, no PPA's" when you've just shown me the package comes from a PPA [20:51] ankk: What does "lsusb -v | grep -E '\<(Bus|iProduct|bDeviceClass|bDeviceProtocol)' 2>/dev/null" show? [20:51] ikonia: Ubuntu doesnt have a PPA out of the box? [20:51] NetworkingPro: no [20:51] joshumax, yes. there isn't online driver info [20:51] PPA = Personal Package Archive, so no [20:52] Ben64: So PPAs are always "after market"? [20:52] got it. [20:53] so sudo apt-get remove salt-minon? [20:53] ankk: This is normally the time where I tell people to open up their XYZ and start researching Chip IDs, but I doubt you'd want to do that [20:54] NetworkingPro, yea could even purge instead of remove in case any config was in place for it [20:54] shouldn't be though since it didn't get past checking dependencies [20:54] wafflejock, cant that break something if its a weird ppa ? [20:55] so sudo apt-get --purge remove salt-minon? === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [20:55] wafflejock: thx [20:55] !ppapurge [20:55] 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 [20:56] xSolidState, not that I'm aware of, could always use the dry-run flag too (-s) to see what it will do without running immediately [20:56] So do PPA's override stock repos, or just work in parallel? [20:56] Any idea on the order of operation? [20:56] Bashing-om: in your opinion, what's the best way to get around this LVM bug? fresh install with only /home encrypted, maybe? [20:56] NetworkingPro, regarding the purge I meant sudo apt-get purge salt-minion, instead of remove, purge here means get rid of the binaries installed and config (including user config for the program) [20:57] Oh no not again [20:57] gotcha, thanks wafflejock [20:57] NetworkingPro, but like OerHeks points to there you'll want to just get rid of the ppa entirely too unless you really need packages it provides, and np [20:58] wafflejock: NetworkingPro> So do PPA's override stock repos, or just work in parallel? [20:58] anybody know what the difference between /dev/tty* and /dev/vcsxx/vcsa are? [20:58] As in, if you were to do apt-get on a package that was in both, which would get installed? [20:58] i get ttyS is for the serial port connections [20:59] NetworkingPro, they basically override in most cases, I'm not positive on how ubuntu determines which source to use off the cuff, but typically to upgrade to something not in the main repos people will add a PPA (if they trust it) [20:59] wafflejock: Gotcha, that makes sense. And when you have something "stuck" like this you either have to resolve and install it, or remove it.? [20:59] treelzebub: In my opinion, encryption and LVM are more trouble than the worth - for general use. [21:00] as ikonia pointed out apparently theres no "ignore" option. [21:00] NetworkingPro, yeah it wanted some dependency but couldn't find it so you either find it or build it or whatever and then install the thing or you have to remove it basically [21:01] There is a circle in my status bar on top right with a white bar in it [21:01] i am legally obligated to have my laptop encrypted for work :\ [21:02] why is here a red circle with a white bar in it on my status bar [21:03] does anybody know the difference between /dev/console and /dev/ttyxxx devices [21:04] cxdvty: what happens when you run sudo apt-get update? [21:04] seems like all the tty and console device files have major numbers of 4 , 5 ,7 [21:04] treelzebub: Then the "easier" thing is to pay close attention to the /boot partition, and keep the old kernels cleaned out ( sudo apt-get autoremove will do that ) . Other than that, one can manually resize partitions enlarging /boot in that process . [21:05] 7 seems to be fore vcs and vcsa and 4 , 5 major numbers seem to be for tty and console. [21:05] cxdvty, if you move the mouse there, does it tell you to reboot? [21:05] No it says i may have some unmet dependencies [21:06] wafflejock: thanks, amigo [21:06] Bashing-om: autoremove is not doing that. here's the latest round of what i've tried: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587523/ [21:06] got this crap working now. [21:06] NetworkingPro, no problem have a good one [21:06] treelzebub: look'n at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587523/ . [21:07] but the distinctions of the differences between a regular console or terminal or a virtual console or terminal and all the other devices files seems to ellude me... i get virtual terminals are more block devices that can pipe there input over a network to another terminal .... confused not yet fully get it [21:08] treelzebub: "gzip: stdout: No space left on device" == no operational head room . show -> df -h , df -i <- and maybe we 'dpkg' remove the old kernels . [21:08] Hey! Can some 1 help me? I can't install wordpress, i have got xampp. [21:09] moniess, try #wordpress [21:09] seems like when you execute ssh or rcp or any command to a remote place it is taking your input and in sending it over the network in a way that a middle man device file /dev/tty5 could intercept before being sent or recieved kind of like redirectling input or output from any terminal under any user sort of speak using these devices files in a certain way and not creating a program that did this thru pipe and ioctl function calls [21:10] xampp is not the ubuntu way [21:17] Bashing-om: all attempts to remove old kernels trigger update-initramfs, which fails (E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) ) === raykid is now known as xSolidState [21:18] this is indeed more trouble than it's worth. [21:19] is it possible to make a flash drive with two partitions... one with data, one with a bootable imag? [21:19] treelzebub: Let's try low level removal. pastbinit -> dpkg -l | grep linux- <- . [21:19] hey its me again. install to SSD worked fine. I updated the kernel after installing and it does not output video anymore. Nvidia graphics card, no nonfree driver yet. It boots with Graphics on 3.16.0-23 and without on 3.16.0-31. What can i do to fix it? [21:20] Jacoby6000: Yes, it is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:20] thanks, bekks === AustinTheGrey is now known as AustinTheGrey_Aw [21:22] *AustinTheAwey ...ftfy :P [21:22] hi. how to install mesa correctly? (for filming with kodi based on a minimal server install) [21:24] i've had a problem for a few months now where my laptop won't suspend (as in sleep, suspend to ram) if it's been on for a few minutes. its screen will go blank, it will disable networking, then it will remain on. hitting ctrl-alt-f7 a few times brings the desktop back. it might be due to being on a RAID 0 or a new wifi card that i put in. is there a way to see what's "blocking" the suspending? [21:24] ciao [21:25] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587703/ [21:25] treelzebub: lookin at your http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587703/ . [21:28] treelzebub: That says you only have the 1 kernel installed, should not have a space constraint issue in /boot (??) .. so back to look'n what returns -> df -h , df -i <- . === Rudench is now known as Shnaw [21:32] curious for /dev/loop devices why would one want to uses these over just creating an empty directory and mounting the devices to the directory with mount instead of mounting to loop. I guess it is just preferences in most cases [21:33] because an empty directory acts exactly like its own block devices files /dev/loopXXX [21:34] How do i debug if a new stock kernel does not boot (correctly)? [21:34] I would really like if ubuntu could just use nvidia drivers [21:34] that'd be splendid [21:34] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587752/ ... I wasn't joking when I said /boot was way too small ;) [21:34] why does drm stay stucking in a pageflip? [21:35] treelzebub: look'n http://paste.ubuntu.com/10587752/ . [21:35] erisco, you can just install them, cant you? [21:35] ohhh I wish [21:35] installing them is one thing, having them work is another [21:36] erisco: unfortunatelt amd is awesome stuff tooo [21:36] oh man, dont tell me you still have to do it manually to get it to work? Although that did work instantly back in the day [21:36] treelzebub: There's a little workaround i used to do for that. bindmount some folder on another partition to /boot ( but copy all the files currently in it over there first too ) [21:36] xSolidState, I have tried multiple driver versions from nvidia's website and none work [21:36] I always get the same problem that after the ubuntu loading screen my display shuts off [21:37] treelzebub: It at least lets you install/deinstall stuff until you can get the partitioning sorted [21:37] letstrythis, amd was so very terrible a few years back. has this really changed or was that sarcasm? [21:37] treelzebub: Yikes ! You are correct "/dev/sda1 73M 48M 22M 70% /boot " way too small .. BUT, I have no direct knowledge how to resolve this . No experience with encryption to make anew . [21:37] my newst install doesn't boot the gui, come to find out it leaves everything unconfigured [21:38] erisco: you shouldnt use the ones from nvidias site [21:38] Ben64, I tried the ones from the repo already, what else am I supposed to do? [21:39] erisco: you could try coming in here and explaining the problem in detail, see if anyone can help [21:39] what detail do you want? my xorg log? I posted that a while ago and had no responses [21:39] xSolidState: i personally have no experience with ubuntu and amd...i just know the hardware is beast....os's really need to get on the same page and help work through issues....i did buy an fm2 cpu...still waiting for it to arrive [21:40] there are no error messages in the log either [21:40] erisco: all detail [21:40] So, I'm installing ubuntu-studio as we speak with a LUKS-encrypted filesystem. [21:40] detail what detail you want me to detail [21:40] I will give you anything [21:40] erisco: well lets see, so far all i know is you have nvidia, give every relevant detail! [21:40] what detail?? [21:40] Is there a way to unmount the root filesystem when suspending? [21:40] what is relevant? [21:41] Bashing-om: well, thanks for your help! I think I'm just going to reinstall without LVM. [21:41] erisco: are you serious? [21:41] Setting my refresh rate to 144hz doesnt change the refresh rate. Why? [21:41] I've found a couple guides, but they seem pretty hacky. [21:41] I start up my computer, the Ubuntu loading screen shows up, then when it is done my display turns off [21:41] erisco: for starters, what ubuntu version, what nvidia card do you have, do you have multiple gpus? [21:41] genii: i'll look into that before i resort to reinstalling. thx! [21:41] Does refresh rate not work on nouveau? Because it did work on my dads machine, from the live cd actually [21:42] erisco: you've got to understand that nobody here is psychic and nobody can see your screen [21:42] treelzebub: Yer welcome [21:42] how do you mean refresh rate does not set? [21:42] Ben64, neither can I, it is off [21:42] erisco: great, have a nice day [21:42] Ubuntu version 14.10, GeForce 320M, 1 GPU [21:42] it is a MacBook Pro [21:43] letstrythis, well, apparently. It sets to 144 without error in the settings but does not change de facto [21:43] letstrythis, glxgears is still capped to 60 and i see no difference. although it should be very noticeable [21:44] Ben64: it appears to be a common issue now tho, i have similar issue...ubuntu install is left unconfigured =c [21:44] xSolidState: glxgears should not be used to test refresh rate [21:44] Ben64, what should i use then? [21:44] xrandr maybe [21:45] xSolidState: its not oticable...the human eye doesn't see this...and your monitor must support it [21:45] !ping [21:45] pong! [21:45] poof [21:45] letstrythis, the eye sees it. this is not disputed. Even the mouse cursor has visibly more "ghosts" on the screen when you move it in a circle on the screen. [21:46] and, obviously, my monitor supports it^ [21:46] oh gawd...the mouse is ghosting that monitor must not support it [21:46] earlier "I found a bug in the Ubuntu installer." nope, this Ethernet cable goes nowhere :) [21:46] letstrythis, i dont think you know what im talking about [21:47] spagewmf: lol [21:47] Ben64, xrandr --rate 144 returns no error. output for my displayport is: 1920x1080 60.0 + 144.0* 120.0 99.9 84.9 59.9 Does the 60.0 or the 59.9 indicate a frame cap or something else wrong? [21:48] xSolidState: i just hope you don't fry it, your moitor [21:48] xSolidState: hard to tell from your paste, but the line with the * is the active mode [21:48] letstrythis, please stop assuming its my monitor. I have a new 144hz monitor and extensively tested it under windows. 144hz is supported and confirmed working. [21:48] horizontal and verticle have different clocks [21:50] i'm not trying to assume...ghostig mouse is an idication of problems not a good thing unless you enable mouse trails [21:51] Ben64: so it is set like he/she wants? [21:51] letstrythis, you have misunderstood me. I put it in quotes because its not what one thinks of when you hear ghosting [21:51] nevermind this [21:51] Ben64, how can i check if its actually working? [21:53] anyone know how to debug drm? it get stuck on "pageflips" [21:56] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82612 says it's fixed but i get it everyday [21:56] Freedesktop bug 82612 in DRM/Intel "[SNB/IVB] [drm:intel_pipe_set_base] *ERROR* pipe is still busy with an old pageflip (kernel 3.16.0)" [Major,Resolved: fixed] [21:56] ty [21:56] srx650 onboard ports don't do L2 or LACP. get rekt juniper :p [22:01] thank you. [22:03] a beta driver i don't think is a good fix for the pageflip error... [22:03] I still get no video output on the latest kernel. I am on 3.16.0-23 currently because of this. What can I do to get it working again? [22:04] if I ssh into a ubuntu server and run a python script is there a way to make it 'carry on' even if i loose connection to the server? [22:04] xSolidState: That means your screen stays dark, entirely? [22:05] bekks, yes. My monitor says "no signal" and turns off. [22:05] xSolidState: Run it in a session in "screen" or "tmux". [22:05] xSolidState: Can you ssh into that machine? [22:05] how about if i run it with an & after it [22:05] yes [22:05] bekks, its my home desktop. So, i dont know? i didnt set it up [22:06] i am online with it currently, on the old kernel... [22:06] x1: that will kill the script upon losing the connection. [22:06] so the only way is with tmux [22:06] ? [22:06] x1: Or with tmux, or with nohup [22:06] x1: or with screen :) [22:06] :) [22:07] ok thanks for the info [22:07] interestig, i'd love to resume things despite disconnects [22:08] can this allow software to keep runing in remote servers despite me disconnecting from it? [22:08] yes [22:08] ty [22:09] <92AAASH5U> what do you need to add to this command string to make it run all the way through without asking for input from the operator? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo do-release-upgrade" Want to set up a cron job at some point for the system to issue to keep system up to date without doing it manually. [22:09] bekks, i tried with my laptop. and no i cannot ssh into it. Connection refused. Do you think i should configure ssh? I know that its responsive, powering off via the button works normally. === 92AAASH5U is now known as RudeViper [22:09] does Ubuntu work on the Macbook Air early 2014 ? It's not in the wiki's... [22:09] Don't know how that happened..... [22:09] streulma: Yes, it does. [22:09] bekks: why is it so hot then? [22:10] RudeViper: Add -y switches in the appropriate commanda to auto answer Yes to the questions it asks [22:10] bekks: something with gpe66 interupts ? [22:10] streulma: How does "why is it so hot" mean "it does not work"? [22:10] RudeViper: doing do-release-upgrade automatically without user input sounds like a really, really bad idea [22:10] bekks: I read something about gpe4E and gpe66 interrupts [22:10] RudeViper: Although I do agree with Myrtti on the do-release-upgrade [22:11] streulma: "something"? [22:11] like, really, REALLY bad idea. [22:12] heyo, what's up? === MasterPiece is now known as Guest74211 [22:13] ok - I can remove that - but what about the rest...I would like to do this without having to wait around to input y [22:13] RudeViper: what is the purpose of running upgrade and then immediately dist-upgrade? [22:14] RudeViper: there is a better way of doing automated updates than a cronjob [22:15] Myrtti - really - didn't know that.... What do you suggest. I would like to set it up so that it would run the commands every few days...Also do I add the -y after the apt-get or after the command name? [22:16] RudeViper: look up unattended-upgrades [22:16] bekks, i can ssh into my machine now. What should i look for when booting the "no video out" 3.16.0-31 kernel? [22:16] Myrtti - ok will do thanks [22:18] i've never installed a nightly driver set/patch for intel gpu before [22:19] bekks: 14.04 or 14.10 ? [22:20] hello, its the "no video kernel" guy. My computer turns on, but outputs no video after updating the kernel to 0-31. Machine is responsive and i am inside via ssh. How can i see what causes this? [22:22] xSolidState: look in the xorg log files [22:22] xSolidState: look at where you got the kernel from and the video driver package you get that links to that kernel package === AlexStraunoff is now known as NikolaiToryzin [22:23] ikonia, i am using xorgs nouveau and i got the kernel via ubuntus repositories [22:24] xSolidState: so looking at the xorg log is a good start === mohammad is now known as Guest94403 [22:24] how would i wget specific webpages with in a range for example between page 1 and 10 [22:24] ikonia ok i will restart the machine with the working kernel and compare logs [22:25] my problem after fdisk : unable to read /dev/sdc: Inappropriate ioctl for device [22:25] hey [22:25] x1: you can't wget is dumb, you need to feed it urls [22:25] my add just kicked in, going afk to stores [22:25] it would have to be a script then?

(nvidia is the nonfree one right?) This is a fresh install [22:31] xSolidState: that seems unlikley [22:31] xSolidState: although even in the working kernel it appears to be trying to load it [22:32] xSolidState: if you look at the output of the broken one you'll see it's missing the device files /dev/* for your device, you need to find out why === Mr_Sheesh_ is now known as Mr_Sheesh [22:33] Guest53584: http://sharadchhetri.com/2013/12/19/how-to-fix-read-only-usb-pen-drive-in-ubuntu/ maybe this will help [22:33] ikonia, well its _definitely_ a fresh install, only did apt-get upgrade, which is how it stopped working. It boots with the new kernel when in recovery mode. I will crawl through the whole logs now [22:34] apt-get upgrade shouldn't upgrade your kernel to a major version [22:34] it should only do minor versions [22:34] ikonia, it didnt. It upgraded from 3.16.0-23 to 3.16.0-31 . sorry for the confusion [22:35] xSolidState: I would drop the video card to vesa [22:35] xSolidState: then look at how to debug noveu [22:35] xSolidState, your errors are consistent with all open-source drivers for nvidia products that i've ever used. just my 2 cents [22:37] treelzebub, did you have a similar problem once? because i think im going to install prop drivers anywas. Nouveau cant to gamez hehe [22:37] also, should the ECDSA fingerprint on SSH change if the machine gets a new ip ? [22:38] yeah, i love open-source as much as the next guy, but in my experience, in the gfx driver arena nvidia-proprietary just functions better. [22:38] is it possible to "copy" a windows bootable partition to another hard drive? I have a 320GB laptop hard drive and I would like to move the partitions to a 160GB laptop hard drive so that I can keep the 320GB in the server.... [22:38] the above using ubuntu of course [22:39] treelzebub, well they got fire under their butt at least, when people close in on them with OS drivers [22:43] i decided to use tasksel to install LAMP, how do i get to ok?

[23:52] ill check that out. thanks [23:52] w00tburger: but if you are looking for a flowchart rather than an actual database structure diagram, not sure if you need specialized software [23:52] w00tburger: since 'database diagram' makes me think ERDs [23:52] Well I will see what this one does what I am after. I am already using yED for the actual flowcharting [23:53] Hi guys, i have recently installed 12.04 LTS on a laptop, cnt seem to see any wireless routers.
