[00:01] luis, when I run ifconfig -a I dont see any entry called wlan [00:02] you may not have any driver for your wireless being loaded [00:03] ubottu, could you expand tht [00:03] billy38: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:03] billy38, anything from "lsmod | grep 80211" [00:03] billy38: try "lshw -C network" to list the devices and see if the intel is 'unclaimed', then try "sudo modprobe iwlwifi" to see if the output from the first command changes [00:05] luis, yes, cfg80211 310253 1 iwlwifi [00:05] billy38: say you want to get someone's nick.... who.... _UNIcodeX there... so you'd type -> _uni <--- press the [tab] key, the physicall tab on the keyboard, will "autocomplete" it, press it several times, and it'd iterate through all nicks that have "_uni" at the start, you could add more or less characters, and let the autocomplete it === octavian is now known as varaindemian === varaindemian is now known as octavian [00:07] billy38: if you're checking for a wlan, you could always use -> iwconfig <-- that'd show any wlan interfaces [00:08] billy38: from lshw (see daftykins above) can you tell the name of the card? [00:08] one would have to wonder why you'd pick 12.04 to install when 14.04 exists too :) [00:09] both are LTS (long term support) [00:09] daftykins, when i input lshw -C network it says 'unclaimed', when i run the modprobe, it doesnt change anything [00:09] I busted my laptop, what is a common laptop for ubuntu users? [00:10] budg thats a pretty broad question === neurosis1 is now known as neurosis [00:10] ubuntu will run on just about any modern laptop these days [00:10] ^ but do your research so you don't get burnt [00:10] do people run it on apple? [00:10] don't get broadcom wireless, for instance ;) [00:11] not really, Linux doesn't work too great across apple systems - it's more an experiment [00:11] what are the /dev/dri/* device files for is these for video/graphics [00:11] billy38: have you got the name of your wireless card? [00:12] daftykins, any way to retrieve name of the card? [00:12] any good modern non-apple laptops that people are using these days for ubuntu? [00:12] billy38: lshw should show [00:12] google search is surprisingly useless here [00:12] Ubuntu works for me as an alternative to Windows. I don't know if there'd be an advantage though for an Apple user to have Ubuntu as well [00:13] budg: go to a retail shop, take along a flash drive of an LTS ubuntu like 14.04.1 64-bit, ask if you can demo some and see if all the features work [00:13] Its an Intel 64 bit [00:13] a wireless card is not 64-bit [00:13] billy38: that might be the cpu [00:15] billy38: "lspci | grep controller" may help too. Probably one in the list will be network controller, or wireless controller [00:17] ok, Intel Device 08b1 (rev bb) ? is that a name? [00:19] billy38: no, but it is the pci product id, which doesn't seem to be matched to anything [00:22] billy38: I think your card didn't get support until kernel 3.10 === rbrown_ is now known as phus [00:23] billy38: if you run "uname -r" you will see you are probably on 3.2 [00:23] or less... [00:23] luis, lshw says network UNCLAIMED description : Network controller [00:23] billy38: why aren't you giving us the full name? this is REALLY easy [00:23] I'm trying to use cobbler to kickstart ubuntu but during the install it prompts me for my network interface before it starts the OS build [00:23] type 'lspci' and read the wireless device name [00:24] billy38: is there a specific reason why you want 12.04 instead of, say, 14.04 [00:24] says I am on 3.10.18 [00:24] daftykins: if the device is not in the list of known kernel pci devices, it won't show any name [00:25] billy38: that is not a real kernel version for ubuntu [00:25] billy38: mmm, ok, try "sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi" [00:25] only because I tried loading 14, it didnt work (this time around, it did before, but then I erased it) [00:26] luis: hrmm, i really don't think that'd happen with intel adapters [00:26] anyway good luck with this one, i don't think enough info is being properly shared in a timely fashion [00:26] dafty, its the one that comes up when i run uname [00:26] then you must not be running ubuntu [00:27] dartykins: AFAIK, the PCI devices present themselves as a vendor id, product id pair,just like usb. The kernel tries to match it with a module name. If it doesn't, it may not load anything [00:27] no i don't think so [00:28] daftykins: and then it remains as intel 08b1 [00:28] billy38: what does "lsb_release -a | grep -i desc" say? [00:29] luis, unable to locate package firmware-iwlwifi [00:29] billy38: yes, maybe that's debian... [00:30] so precise (12.04) was 3.2, quantal 3.5, raring 3.8 and saucy 3.11 - so it was never a real default kernel in an ubuntu afaik [00:31] gr3 - no LSB modules are available [00:31] billy38: "cat /etc/issue" ? [00:32] so, luis, you think maybe I should just go back and try to get 14. + working? [00:32] is there a way to tell the system (14.04) to query the local bind instance before going to dnsmasq and then the DNS servers that are configured in network-manager? [00:32] teward: i remember using /etc/nsswitch.conf back in the day but i don't know if it's relevant anymore [00:33] and even then it was like prioritising files before DNS, so not sure if that's what you're after [00:33] daftykins: cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias | grep pci [00:34] billy38: right now i would submit to you that you may not be on an ubuntu at all, so installing one may very well be step one :) [00:34] luis: sorry, focus on the helpee not proving a point :) [00:34] i'm calling it a night now, so gl [00:34] i suspect this is a distro mix up right now o0 [00:35] daftykins: well, with dnsmasq now on the system, resolv.conf gets set to its localhost listen IP. I have a DNS server (bind9) running locally for a specific zone (which is listening on a different localhost IP), but if dnsmasq is first in the list, that doesn't help [00:35] daftykins: sounds weird, but genuinely he could not read the card name [00:35] daftykins: but yeah, looks a strange mix up [00:35] hi guys , good night [00:35] dafty - ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l [00:35] teward: on new installs i tend to nuke resolvconf then hardcode /etc/resolv.conf [00:36] daftykins: will removing that break networkmanager or such? [00:36] billy38: did you install ubuntu on a computer with another linux on it? [00:36] well, it is something called chubuntu, which is ubuntu for chromebooks [00:37] teward: yeah, it's for avoiding NM typically [00:37] hi [00:37] billy38: *facepalm* you really need to tell us these things from the start [00:37] daftykins: which doesn't help me because wifi [00:37] ok, so unsupported ubuntu derivative [00:37] lol [00:38] yeah, start with that next time [00:38] luis, in a way, since chrome is a form of linux, but this is a chroot [00:38] teward: ok :) [00:38] Either way, it's not really supported here.. heh [00:38] can't help you with chromebooks hacks. [00:38] sorry guys, self-face slap [00:38] that's why it's not a real ubuntu kernel [00:38] billy38: I'm leaving here, bit late. This looks like kernel related, either it is not supported in you kernel, or you are missing the firmware [00:38] gotta go nn [00:39] so it a kind of virtualized ubuntu? [00:39] billy38: what about "dmesg | grep Intel" [00:39] billy38: or dmesg | grep fail [00:40] well thnks guys, sorry about mixup [00:40] billy38: whatever the issue, it really should be in dmesg [00:40] nn === wang_ is now known as Guest68415 [00:42] luis, yes, there is definatley an entry for the Intel driver, but i see no mention of the device itself [00:44] yes, iwlwifi 0000.... request for firmware file iwlwifi-7260-9 failed (??) [00:44] I need a hint to check audio ports mapping on my ubuntu. In my previous ubuntu installation (but same hardware) I had to use jackretask to mapping audio ports (rear panel ports mapped on front panel ports and vice versa). I don't remember those instructions (3 years ago). What commands should I use to check ports mapping between hardware/ALSA/Pulse? [00:45] Hello all, logged in as a root user and am trying to execute a command as another user who doesn't have shell access. I get "shell access is not enabled on your account" when I run su - username command [00:45] is there a way around this? [00:46] PS: desktop pc [00:51] How would I permitpasswords for one user? [00:53] And above all, when ubuntu will get rid of Pulse audio...? [00:53] multy73, it wont [00:53] multy73: not in near future like all other distros. except you write a better service :) [00:54] bahang shitty thing pulse audio... [00:54] welly_, there is no need to log in as root, nor even enable the root account [00:54] multy73, no cursing here [00:54] I have extended my disk, but resize2fs still does not work. here are the details : https://gist.github.com/bigmyx/f6231e33c40bd2600781 [00:55] multy73, check out pavucontrol / padevchooser yet [00:55] bazhang sorry, but...on every fresh ubuntu installation, audio ports mapping it's never ok.... [00:55] !info paprefs [00:55] bazhang and it's always pulse audio fault... [00:55] paprefs (source: paprefs): PulseAudio Preferences. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.10-1 (utopic), package size 60 kB, installed size 541 kB [00:55] multy73, thats simply not correct [00:56] but such a debate is not ontopic here [00:56] bazhang thatis what say jackretask team... [00:56] check out pavucontrol /padevchooser / paprefs [00:56] bazhang ok [01:08] I'm trying to add an additional x509 key to the system keyring, but in order to do so, the new key must be signed with the old key. How do I do this? You can read https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/module-signing.txt and / for "keyctl padd" to see what I'm trying to do [01:12] bazhang pavucontrol/paprefs/paman gives no ports mapping... === wcfields_z is now known as wcfields [01:14] hello [01:15] cortex: hey there [01:17] Im having trouble setting this VPN up. Can someone point me in the right direction. http://freevpn.me/accounts/ === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [01:23] hi guys! [01:25] i'm trying to dual boot 14.10 with windows 8.1 on a toshiba protege Z10t (laptop/tablet). i've managed to get ubuntu installed, but i've completely tanked the boot setup and can only boot ubuntu now, using rEFInd. I can't boot windows at all. The windows partition is still ther ethough, because I can see it in the drive info [01:26] if I run boot-repair in advanced mode, it tells me that everything has run ok. the ui seems to find windows just fine and everything seems to go ok. [01:27] sometimes if I run boot-repair in 'best settings' mode, it tells me that I need to create a BIOS-Boot partition [01:28] the question I have is, wouldn't I have had a bios-boot partition before I even tried to install ubuntu? where would it have gone? there's no empty space left on the disk that I can find, so I'm a little curious as to where it would have gone [01:29] So I just installed XUbuntu on a new laptop that came with windows 8, and I resized the partitions just fine, installed Ubuntu just fine. However, booting into Windows, it still thinks the partition is the same size it was. I ran chkdsk and it didn't fix it. Are there more steps I need to take to set things up correctly? === ubuntu is now known as Guest40601 [01:36] hi guys I am having an issue accessing programs I always get an error saying error while loading shared libraries: lib****so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:36] I have searched the internet and found nothing anyone know what this could be [01:37] gol [01:37] I have ubuntu 12.04 [01:37] mmm [01:39] shane_: What program? [01:40] Hi guys, I was wondering how I can take 2 text lists, and remove all the lines from text list a that are in text list b [01:40] Hi guys, I was wondering how I can take 2 text lists, and remove all the lines from text list a that are in text list b so text list A is test a - text b [01:40] woops [01:40] synaptic and also pavucontrol as I have an issue with the alsa/pulseaudio so I need trying to get to install broken bits to get it working again [01:41] also software settings is not working either dont know what I have done [01:42] shane_: That does sound kind of borked. Can you pastebin what happens when you run synaptic? [01:45] http://pastebin.com/qz6SjvpH [01:46] the lib file is fine and folder exists === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [01:50] shane_: what happens when you run dpkg -S libept.so [01:51] libept1.4.12:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libept.so.1.aptpkg4.12 [01:51] libept1.4.12:amd64: /usr/lib/libept.so.1.0.5.4.12 [01:52] hi folks, i'm looking for a light desktop environment that will allow various text-based applications to resize to "not multiple of text height/width". [01:53] shane_: does `uname -p` confirm you're running 64bit? [01:53] i know KDE will allow to turn off "geometry restrictions", so it is hard to head to the lighter DEs. [01:53] sure does [01:56] is there a way to get something to bind to 127.0.2.1 at all? (I know it's localhost but... i'm trying to get bind9 to listen on that IP and it's failing) [01:57] Is there a way to pop up an alert when power cable is unplugged? [01:57] has anyone here used ubuntu with hybrid graphics (haswel igpu + nvidia gpu) - does it work out of the box or do you need to install different drivers. (for folding@home i've been advised to use 346.35) [01:57] do you have to mess with x configuratoins to get it to work [01:58] shane_: Do you know what was the last thing you installed before you started having issues? [02:00] i remember I had an issue with the sources.list so I reset that to default but other than that nothing really [02:02] doomlord_1: 346 driver is not avaolable in the repository .. PPA ( or direct from Nvidia) . [02:02] shane_: You can try rebuilding your ld paths with `sudo ldconfig` [02:02] i get input lag over ssh on a local connection client is using putty and the server is using ubutntu server. Any ideas to get less lag? [02:03] Bashing-om : currently i've got the 346 driver installed directly from the nvidia website [02:03] i've had the same card using the 346 driver in another ubuntu box doing folding; so my first step putting this card into my newer haswell machine was to install that same driver [02:03] doomlord_1: nvidia-prime and nvidia-sttings installed ? [02:04] just did that and nothing much after that happened just returned next line with bash prompt [02:04] doomlord_1: nvidia-settings * [02:04] nvidia settings but not nvidia-prime, i shall install that, i guess.. it wont break it will it ? (I have had installs break from messing with drivers) [02:05] TheScholar: You might try writing a script which parses the output of the `acpi -a` command. [02:05] shane_: The command should have rebuild your library paths. Check if synaptics works now. [02:06] Odd-rationale: alrighty then...i thought there's app out there already [02:06] doomlord_1: Generally I expect nvidia-prime to install when the 346 driver is installed. nvidia-prime permits changing to the Intel driver . [02:06] Odd-rationale, but will do as per yours...thanks! [02:06] no that didn't work should I need any flags after the command? [02:06] this came from some nvidia script on their site; i do have nvidia-settings but not nvidia-prime. I'll see.. [02:07] whilst ists installing its talking about 3.16 yada yada. should i have added xedgers first :( [02:07] shane_: I'm wondering if your ld configuration is not correct. Pastebin the output of `cat /etc/ld.so.conf` and `cat /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*` [02:08] doomlord_1: Check what it is -> apt-cache show nvidia-prime . [02:09] TheScholar: No problem. Good luck! [02:09] its installed now, from the default ubuntu repository, apt-cache show tells me '0.6.7', 'Conflicts: hybrid-graphics', 'Breaks: ubuntu-drivers-common' .... is that bad... [02:09] rebooting now, lets see whats what... [02:10] doomlord_1: No, none of that is bad. (breaks BumbleBee and BB is a conflict ) . [02:11] http://pastebin.com/9zWz8yTR [02:12] ok i have a monitor plugged into both the motherboard & the discrete card and i'm rebooting.. [02:14] shane_: That looks OK. I'm out of ideas, sorry. [02:15] shane_: Have you already tried doing a `sudo apt-get update` and `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` after changing your sources.list? [02:15] thats ok buddy thanks for your help. I have tried everything I could think of too. I'll just reinstalled .... yes I have done all that [02:16] ok, nvidia-settings only shows me 1 'x screen' with the nvidia gpu; "arandr" does have a load of extra outputs now in its' dropbox, but greyed out . [02:18] doomlord_1: Can not say as I do not have experience with dual monitor on Intel GPU . === tj_ is now known as Guest13320 [02:20] ok thanks anyway. I guess I might still have something to setup. it definitely seems to know there are extra connectors [02:22] doomlord_1: I just think that it is either Nvidia or Intel as the graphics unit. Not both can be active at the same time . [02:23] is it just for using 'openCL' on the unused one or something [02:24] it says in this guide, "display hotplug wont work and you'll have to set up screens manually in xorg.conf". I'd been using "arandr" to manage screenlayouts previously (i should meniton this is xubuntu, xfce desktop) [02:25] 4 screens is enough but it would be nice to use igpu+discrete gpu simultaneously [02:29] doomlord_1: Lots I do not know, but I think igpu+discrete gpu is "switchable graphics" ..I am not aware that both can be used simultaniously . [02:29] ok fair enough [02:31] doomlord_1: If I am in error, others here on the channel will correct my thinking . === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc === andrex is now known as andrex|off [02:43] ok i can see this 'prime' stuff is definitely to do with switching onboard/discrete for powersaving on laptops, not really 'using both simultaneously' [02:45] doomlord_1: I do expect that if you connect both monitors up through the Nvidia card, you can then get twin view to work . Nvidia-settings should have that ability to set it up for ya . [02:46] doom, i think that is up to the software....i haven't seen a way to adjust the pci-e savings feature, which is hw controled...in ubuntu...windows 7 lets you set it to profiles [02:46] Bashing-om oh sure, i've definitely had multiple monitors on the nvidia card (on another box, not yet on this one but i'm sure it will work) [02:47] what is ubuntu's default power savings setting? for pci-e? === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [02:51] Can anyone help me with a grub issue?

[05:57] I guess I'm thinking along the windows lines, where I can get to the log in screen and use whatever user I want.

What and how do I make sure what needs to work first oes? [06:10] does [06:12] Hello, guys, have you ever meet this thing? USing pppoe and your ubuntu system get two ipv6 address, but you can not connect to any ipv6 website [06:12] where is the boot splash screen image [06:13] would you configure domainphrase@gmail , Domain using Godaddy email, or configure a server on Ubuntu VPS. Not sure what each would entail. (record changes and setup) [06:13] lickalott: I've never used it before, I suppose it could work? What is your need/goal for using VNC on this machine? [06:13] timothywcrane: doesn't really sound like this is the proper channel for you, this is Ubuntu support only [06:14] It may be a bug because all works well on win7 on the same mechine [06:15] it doesn't. I tested it. still need the x session. this machine is located in another portion of the house mainly acting as my file server, VPN, and ZNC. It also houses the motion detection pictures from my security cameras. i'd like to park my big a$$ on the couch and view the pics from that machine vs over the network. [06:15] is there a way to autologin a single user? [06:15] It would all be done on ubuntu through ssh. What is not Ubuntu about it. Ubuntu email server management. I honestly ask you where I might otherwise look? [06:15] yes i use it but it doesn't work [06:16] lickalott: There is, and that is what I would recommend. Or you could use a different method to access the files on your current machine, which would also be a very viable solution. [06:16] ben64 and then i can format it?? [06:16] Odoo only hooks into what is there. I will try Godaddy though, thanks [06:17] found it I think [06:17] I can access them through the network (NFS) but it's a little slow for my taste. Whats the best method for auto login? I've seen /etc/groups or checking the box through the add users gui [06:18] lickalott: I would set the auto-login through your display manager. Are you using default Ubuntu? [06:19] lickalott: And NFS shouldn't be slow at all if this is all local. [06:19] yes sir 14.04 [06:19] lickalott: VNC would be even slower than NFS. [06:19] timothywcrane: can you elaborate what you are trying to do? [06:20] lickalott: you don't need an x session already, vnc will create one [06:20] there could be up to 30,000 photos in the dir. I normally wouldn't argue on that topic rypervenche but when I do have the vnc working it actually displays faster then if I just use the network path. [06:20] now I'm confused.... [06:21] if I do a ps -ef | grep x11vnc the process is running but when I try to vnc into it it fails. If i go upstairs and log in, then come back down and vnc in it works. [06:22] anyone had experience customizing a livecd image? [06:22] lickalott: you're probably running vnc with weird options then [06:22] lickalott: after you start it, does it say it created a display? [06:22] x11vnc -display :0 -localhost -forever [06:22] theres your problem [06:22] no [06:23] * lickalott listens [06:23] don't tell it what display [06:23] I am simply trying to get my ubuntu server on the VPS to process email through my domain hosted by Godaddy. The domain comes with email (so I could Postix/SMTP through them at a rate of 250 relays/day), or I could run an email server from the VPS itself on Ubuntu, or SMTP through a Gmail account. I am not sure which of the three would be prudent to follow on an Odoo installation that would... [06:23] ...probably process no more than 250 emails/day. [06:24] so just x11vnc -localhost -forever [06:24] lickalott: see if that works [06:25] lickalott: when i've had to do stuff like that, i've used a frontend to x11vnc so i'm not sure of those options [06:25] http://paste2.org/2zv0Hvap [06:26] I got the domain pointing to the VPS just fine, but configuring email I am unsure how to roceed [06:26] lickalott: maybe try a different one? like tightvncserver [06:26] proceed [06:26] The only reason I would make an SMTP server in Ubuntu would be if I am running > 250 messages OR if the messages from GoDaddy get marked as spam. [06:28] Is there Ubuntu MATE channels yet? [06:28] Maybe a cigarette would help ;) . Thanks Andrew, would anything that involves the installation of Postix be considered taking me in that direction, and instead run off a fresh VPS installed Ubuntu/no email reconfig/Odoo install, then follow through with sipler MX record stuff? [06:28] maxi_retro: #ubuntu+1 maybe, since its not official till 15.04 i believe [06:29] Okay, thanks Ben64!

[06:37] more easy to change UI [06:37] it's getting difficult in ubuntu [06:37] someone_dang, you can install whatever UI you want, ubuntu is irrelevant [06:37] someone_dang, enlightenment de is highly customizable [06:38] like insanely customizable.. give it a go [06:38] explosive: such as the side bar, i want to use cairo-dock completely. but the old side bar is bugging me. auto hide is good but not ok [06:38] new linux user here.. getting an error while mounting other win partitions [06:38] http://image-upload.de/image/MWZvhi/27ee937fd9.png [06:39] someone_dang: then don't use unity?

[06:40] yes [06:40] Ben64: ubuntu is bugging me if i use other desktop environments like kde and gnome [06:40] nickhilr, do you need to write anything to that partition? [06:40] or just read ( listen to music etc. ) [06:40] well i have a backup drive i wanna access [06:40] nickhilr: well as that error message says, the filesystem is unclean, probably because windows hibernates by default now instead of actually shutting down [06:40] someone_dang: ok [06:41] no i shutdown completely [06:41] nickhilr: windows 8 and 8.1 turn the partitions to sleep on shutdown, so they get locked and are inacessible in other OSes [06:41] nickhilr, do you have fastboot enabled? [06:41] how do i check that [06:41] if you didn't turn it off, then it's on by default [06:42] nickhilr: you need to disable fastboot in control panel [06:42] and then check again.. [06:42] woohoo! i'm part of the way through my epic problem! [06:42] nickhilr, if you only need to read something from the partition you can mount it readonly [06:43] explosive: is enlightenment a desktop manager ? [06:43] Desktop Environment. [06:43] I've managed to install ubuntu alongside windows 8.1 on a protege laptop/tablet hybrid. i completely hosed the boot partition and nothing would boot without a usb key of some recovery kind. have managed to recover the windows 8.1 data to the boot partition. [06:43] how do i mount it readonly [06:43] someone_dang, yeah, it's customizable, you can put a sidebar or topbar or bottom with whatever stuff you want etc. [06:44] my question now, would anyone be willing to hand-hold me through adding grub/refind/whatever boot loader, so that i can dual boot the windows or linux partitions at startup? [06:44] someone_dang, the filemanager sort of sucks and it's not that elegant though [06:44] explosive: any alternative for the file manager ? [06:44] nickhilr, sudo mount -o ro /dev/sda6 /mnt [06:44] is there like a command i can use [06:44] then browse to /mnt [06:45] someone_dang, maybe you could use xfce with cairo, and have the top bar removed [06:45] nickhilr: if you are on ubuntu use disks software to load it in read mode [06:45] right before the login prompt appears, i see a brief second of default ubuntu wallpaper and then it immediately switches to a wallpaper i set. how do i not see that brief flash of default wallpaper at the login prompt? [06:45] if it's possible to remove it in xubuntu [06:46] explosive: i will have a look into it [06:46] someone_dang, yes you can download other filemanagers [06:46] thanks for help [06:46] i am on it [06:46] try gentoo [06:46] bye for now [06:46] i had that problem not too long ago [06:46] gentoo has a good file manger [06:46] got it.. thanks [06:47] better yet, is it possible to just dump the refind recovery usb key data over the top of the boot partition?

Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [06:55] cfhowlett: Nothing more official? [06:55] well nothing is official until release [06:55] but systemd is likely [06:55] AndrewMock, systemd almost assured [06:55] seems to me sys differs from proc in that it has symlinks of all the device files and proc things pointing to /sys/devices/* where each symlink is a pointer to a folder in this directory catting the directory shows you so information mostly sizes ,numbers ,..etc [06:55] But there must be a roadmap or an idea of what's gonna be done before the work starts right? [06:56] the links are rwx for owner , group , and others [06:56] Petazz, why not ask in the dedicated channel? [06:56] The +1? [06:59] but most files under sys directory and all subdirectories are rwxr-xr-x or more restrictive so only root users can write to change the devices or block or process in memory files on the fly in some circumstances... I am assuming the really reason for /sys is that it gives stats on nonprocess in memory devices like hda or devices connected to the usb or pci or other things where as /proc gives stats on process in memory. [07:00] Though i am not sure how much writing to these sys or proc files can do other then maybe corrupting things if you don't know what your doing [07:02] curious is proc writable or is there every a case where one could uses /proc/* echoing something to it to change say the speed of a process or other settings for memory or process...... i believe /sys can be writen to to change setting for a hda drive or other devices though i doubt that is the perfered way to go [07:03] I'm trying to follow these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2197316 (but adapted for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) to get my wireless working by installing backports, but I've encountered an error when building backports. I can't easily paste them here, but there are a bunch of bad macros in include/linux/netdevice.h and a bunch of warnings about those macros being redefined. [07:04] have to try writting to /proc/*... , and /sys/*... to see what can be done thru writting to these still... reading can be done for both to get info ... for me proc gives me most of all the info i could ever want for a device but sys gives some to [07:04] jason_: you shouldn't need to backport [07:05] Ben42_, I have an Atheros AR9642 and it is very clearly not working properly [07:06] I've tried pretty much everything I've seen as possible solutions to this except this one I couldn't get to work. [07:06] jason_: what have you tried [07:06] Disable hardware encryption, disable ipv6, change my routers mode to WPA/AES, ndiswrapper with windows drivers [07:07] can anybody help me out with suspend problem on ubuntu running nvidia ? [07:07] jason_: what kernel are you running [07:08] i am running ubuntu 14.04 with kernel version 3.16.0-31-generic [07:08] I'm running the same as edwardtorvalds :P [07:09] jason_: what is the output of "uname -a" [07:09] jason_: also, pastebin the output of "lshw -C network" [07:10] I'll have to undo some of the things I've done. Currently I have the ath9k drivers blacklisted from trying ndiswrapper. [07:11] jason ? whats your problem? [07:12] my wireless card constantly drops connection [07:12] ok [07:13] jason_: try this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/951709 [07:13] Launchpad bug 951709 in linux (Ubuntu) "168c:0032 Atheros AR9485 WiFi card on Acer Aspire One 722 works slow, sometimes crashes" [Medium,Expired] [07:13] I have similar problem with bluetooth, it does not starts [07:13] The nohwcrypt is the first thing I tried [07:14] I think it's unique to that particular Acer Aspire laptop which I don't have [07:14] not unique [07:14] Ah well, it didn't work for me either way [07:16] Hi there! Can I get help on setting up a VPS email server? I can't use iRedMail because I have an armv71 architecture system, and being fairly noobish am not sure what to do :? [07:17] anybody here for giving help? [07:17] thatlinuxguy, can you elaborate about what email needs you have? [07:17] can anybody help me out with suspend problem on ubuntu running nvidia ? [07:17] the forums are a better spot for that [07:17] (edwardtorvalds) [07:17] andremock are you talking to me? [07:17] what do i do? [07:18] AndrewMock, I'm going to be trying to have email accounts for roughly 30 people. I don't need PHP access or anything, but I'll need to install something like SquirrelMail for webmai. [07:18] I have asked that question on askubuntu and unix.stackexchange.com nobody is answering...... [07:18] Have you considered using an email provider instead of hosting your own? [07:19] AndrewMock: VPS for school, zero budget. [07:19] In fact, minus budget. [07:21] thatlinuxguy: maybe try #ubuntu-arm but in general i'd advise against running an email server, they're a big target for nefarious people [07:21] Ben64, here's the output of that command http://paste.ubuntu.com/10589509/ [07:22] Ben64, before I would have hooked it up to Windows Live Domains and got everyone on Outlook.com but that's no longer possible, and I simply don't have the budget to purchase email hosting. :( [07:23] thatlinuxguy: gmail? [07:23] Hello guys after I use this command sudo dhclient -6 eth0 my ubuntu 14.04lts can not ping ipv6 network how can i fix it?/ [07:23] Ben64: not free afaik [07:24] thatlinuxguy: it can be if set up correctly [07:25] Ben64: really? I wasn't aware of that. Well, that's an option then, but I would have privacy and child protection concerns given that this is for an HS class [07:25] hi [07:26] i need a proper way of blocking ips using iptables [07:26] murcha: can you be more specific? iptables has no problem with that === xubuntu is now known as Guest2216 [07:28] a couple of ips are blocked using iptables in my server; but still i see active connections from webserver log file to those ips. [07:29] Hello guys after I use this command sudo dhclient -6 eth0 my ubuntu 14.04lts can not ping ipv6 network how can i fix it? [07:29] Ben64: thanks, a couple of ips are blocked using iptables in my server; but still i see active connections from webserver log file to those ips. [07:31] Ben64, Hmm there's some indication that my wireless card is actually a broadcom chip in disguise o_O [07:32] Hello guys after I use this command sudo dhclient -6 eth0 my ubuntu 14.04lts can not ping ipv6 network how can i fix it?/ === explosive is now known as EriC^^ === EriC^^ is now known as Guest9328 [07:35] I think I'll try ndiswrapper again with different drivers. === Guest9328 is now known as EriC^^ [07:37] anyone notice it?

[07:38] !patience | Jack-Zhang [07:38] Jack-Zhang: 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/ [07:40] sorry [07:40] and thank you too [07:41] but I have search on the internet but no solution [07:43] which file this command : sudo dhclient -6 eth0 change? and i can reset it so I can fix it. Does it right? === jack_ is now known as Jack-Zhang [07:56] does anyone could help me? [07:58] Jack-Zhang, sudo dhclient eth0 should be enough [07:59] bazhang, I am try it now. thank you. [08:01] how can i block an ip address from accessing my webserver in ubuntu? I used input to drop the ip, but still the ip reaches the webserver. [08:03] murcha, I would use the firewall software for that. [08:03] murcha, I would consider using a caching system like CloudFlare. [08:04] (assuming traffic volume is an issue) === jonas_ is now known as Guest87733 [08:05] AndrewMock: thanks, i used iptables (the ubuntu firewall) -A INPUT -s -j DROP to block the ip. but i see from webserver log that ip reaches to my webserver [08:05] did you reload the firewall? [08:06] yes [08:06] Hello guys! [08:06] I`ve just done a fresh install of my centos and proftpd! But when i add an user, and I wanna upload to the ftp, it says 550 permission denied. The reposatory is /home/test3 the user is test3. When i do ls -n i get drwx------ permissions. Any idea? [08:06] Need a command for ubuntu -> scanning all available HDD drives for filenames too long for NTFS and move and rename all the files... - Any help? [08:07] tryhard, this is an Ubuntu-only channel. Try a CentOS channel. [08:07] can anyone suggest a usb wireless dongle that works well with Ubuntu? [08:07] I found a table online, but some of the suggestions are from 2006. [08:08] Windows Explorer crashes everytime when explorer wants to access a file with a filename too long for ntfs - so I have to use ubuntu [08:09] murcha, if you feel comfortable put the iptables into http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [08:09] iptables --list === tryhard is now known as tryhard2 [08:12] AndrewMock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10589678/ [08:12] I'm trying to dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.10 on a Toshiba Protege Z10t (hybrid laptop/tablet). I've got both installed, but Grub does not override the Windows bootloader. I've followed many guides now (including Ubuntu help pages: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing), but nothing seems to force grub over the top of the windows boot loader [08:12] does anyone have any suggestions onw hat I could do to fix this? [08:13] AndrewMock: iptables --list shows nothing so i used the iptables -S. [08:13] windows installed before ubuntu? snufft ? [08:13] paradonym, yeah :( [08:13] grub should override windows bootloader [08:13] that's what i thought as well [08:14] so that grub needs an entry to switch to windows bootloader [08:14] afk [08:14] i've even reinstalled ubuntu thinking that something might have just not worked, but no dice :( [08:15] I've tried reinstalling grub, running boot-repair (multiple times, multiple ways) and have also tried installing refind, but at best, it just stopped windows from loading and gave me bootloops [08:15] the stupid thing is that refind on a usb key works great. [08:15] murcha, i am no iptables expert, but are you trying to block all comms from those two or just limit the number of connection from those two? [08:15] it shows me everything that I would expect. [08:15] i have problem with nvidia graphics card with ubuntu [08:15] can anybody help [08:15] i have problem with nvidia graphics card with ubuntu [08:16] secure boot is disabled too btw [08:16] that's the only way i can get the refind usb key to run [08:16] snufft, refind? on a non-mac? [08:17] cfhowlett, yes [08:17] My laptop screen goes black after I resume it from suspend. [08:17] NOTE: I have NVIDIA graphics card [08:17] bazhang, It seems waiting for something when i use this command sudo dhclient eth0 [08:18] AndrewMock: actually it was only the two DROP lines. I checked today in the morning that those two lines has no force so, i put the third line and this one also has no force. So, ips still reaches my webserver. [08:19] hi [08:19] hi [08:19] My laptop screen goes black after I resume it from suspend, can you help [08:20] edward i have the same problem [08:20] I have NVIDIA graphics card [08:20] did you find any solution? [08:20] stefano: did you post the problem on askubuntu? [08:20] I just tested my nvidia suspend: no problem. 14.04.2 ubuntustudio [08:20] how [08:21] tell me [08:21] do you have the nvidia drivers installed? [08:21] yes [08:21] i have [08:21] 346 version [08:21] I don't know what to tell. Mine "just worked" [08:21] how [08:21] you mean you never had problem? [08:21] edward____, I did nothing special! It just works! [08:21] never had a problem [08:22] good for you [08:23] can you suggest me any thing to try ? [08:23] edward____, by chance, do you have dual gpu? intel/nvidia combination? [08:23] yes of course [08:24] i have both intel and nvidia [08:24] nvidia 820m [08:26] edward____, so you should also have ... bumblebee? optimus? I have ONLY the nvidia card so my set-up differs a bit [08:26] edward____, so you should also have ... bumblebee? optimus? I have ONLY the nvidia card so my set-up differs a bit [08:27] i am using nouveau open-source driver [08:27] besides this i dont know [08:27] edward____, so you do NOT have the nvidia drivers ... [08:28] i have [08:28] it shows in additional drivers [08:28] edward____, noveau is not nvidia. the nvidia drivers are OEM, i.e. FROM nvidia ... [08:28] i also have nvidia binary driver [08:29] edward____, ok, and which drivers are you actually running. I believe it matters. [08:29] is there anyway i can show you screenshot? [08:29] Hello [08:29] edward____, please [08:29] i will upload the screenshoot to google+ is that ok? [08:30] I own a tp-link tl-ps310u. I've configured it and I've added the printer via system-config-printer, but when I try to print, after few seconds the print is stuck [08:30] Any ideas?

[08:33] tryin to find out for a buddy, he has two NIC cards bridged to br0, now he wants a bridged OpenVPN, but I didn't know if that would work, "bridging a bridge to a bridge" === sRN30045 is now known as FoxMulder992 [08:33] I'm having trouble with my 3g dongle [08:33] on my desktop, it works fine [08:33] on my other machine (an intel NUC), it doesn't [08:34] been checking the usb modeswitch logs, and the output looks quite different [08:34] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu from live USB onto an Asus Zenbook's SSD and I'm really confused about /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and /dev/mapper. I'm sure the SSD is 247 MB and /dev/mapper/isw_blahblah_ASUS_ showed the existing partitions [08:35] so I used gparted to shrink Windows, add ext4, and a swap. Meanwhile /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are two ~128GB unformatted partitions. I didn't ask to set up RAID or anything like that. [08:37] Hi. I have a question regarding apt-get upgrade process. [08:37] Now twice burned with the issuse... [08:37] Let say I'm uprading a fresh installation and I get a kernel upgrade and Adobe Flash upgrade. [08:39] After a new flash file is pulled from PPA it uses third party server for another download. If that server is non-responsive it could break the upgrade levaing your kernel upgrade process unfinished [08:40] hello. can someone please guide me throught. i have installed android application suite. in order to run the program i have to be in terminal IN the folder that is installed and type ./studio.sh to open the app. is it possible to start the app in terminal without been in the installation folder ? [08:40] Is there a way to exclude those packages with thir party server downloads from the main upgrade process untill there is no other package to upgrade, or at least untill there is no kernel upgrade present [08:42] humble_: Yes, but it depends on how the script is written [08:42] humble_: Normally you can just type the full path. [08:42] Anybody using 'Myriad Pro' as their system font? If they are, any tips on getting it look nice? [08:43] yea but is it possible just type ./studio.sh in the home directory ? [08:43] Hey, would it be safe to remove everything in /var/log to free up some space? [08:43] humble_: No. You can update your PATH variable and then just type "studio.sh" if you like. [08:43] how do it do that ? [08:45] humble_: export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/your/script" in your .bashrc [08:47] is there any turtorial to show me how to do that ? [08:47] humble_: Sorry, was on the phone. [08:48] humble_: Edit your ~/.bashrc file or your ~/.bash_aliases file and add that line to it. [08:48] humble_: Everything before "in your .bashrc" === moonbox__ is now known as moonbox [08:48] Is anyone using a USB wireless dongle that they would recommend? Preferably something that works natively? [08:49] so i have to open ~/.bashr and i will add modify /android-studio/bin ? [08:50] I rebooted into Windows and it's happy with my repartitioned SSD, but boot my live USB and I'm back to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb half the size of my SSD, and then all the /dev/mapper stuff. So confusing! [08:51] hmm, maybe my laptop really does have two SSDs [08:52] How can I join pieces of videos together via a terminal command? for exampe part1.mp4 part2.mp4 etc into one video? [08:52] antonio_, easy way: openshot slightly less easy: avconv [08:53] antonio_, doh! you said "terminal". my bad; avconv [08:53] is there a tutorial showing how to join multiple videos? [08:54] how do i change the bindings in tmux [08:55] antonio_: Try starting from the manpage; search for "concat". [08:56] humble_: Add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file... [08:57] humble_: export PATH="$PATH:/android-studio/bin" [08:57] humble_: Then close your terminal and re-open it. [08:57] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mkvtoolnix-gui antonio_ [08:58] http://askubuntu.com/questions/8523/whats-a-software-that-can-join-videos antonio_ [08:58] i open bash with the following command ? nano ~/.bashrc [08:58] humble_: that is not "opening bash" [08:58] antonio_: you can also combine videos using VLC, but its command line for that is hella confusing (--sout "#gather blah blah). https://wiki.videolan.org/How_to_Merge_and_Transcode_Multiple_Videos/ [09:00] changing bindinds on tmux anyone? [09:01] I want to restore an .img from my sd-ext to a larger partition but it doesn't use additional space . [09:01] Jakey2: The man page for tmux has examples at the bottom for doing that. [09:01] ok thanks [09:02] ktl_ how can i oipen it ? [09:04] so it looks like my Asus laptop does have two SSDs, and Ubuntu LiveCD detected the partitions spanning them and loaded its /dev/mapper (LVM?) stuff. I've never used LVM, but I guess it's easier to accept it than try to turn it off and partition the underlying SSDs. [09:06] hsn6: are you saying you want to use the extra space available? I *think* if you use dd to copy the .img to the partition, you can then increase its size with gparted. If you dd to the wrong partition, you will ruin your drive, so check three or four times first! [09:09] spagewmf: gparted scanning take long time, is it runnable on ubuntu 14.04 ? [09:09] hsn6, what are you trying to do? [09:11] restore my .img from a small partition ( deleted ) on larger partition . and using extra space on it [09:12] hsn6, it's the .img of a partition or drive? [09:12] did you use dd if=/dev/sda1 or just /dev/sda to copy it [09:12] Eric**: drive ? what is it ? [09:12] disk [09:12] humble_: what do you want to do at all? [09:13] add export PATH="$PATH:/android-studio/bin" [09:13] I used Disk Utility for backing up [09:14] humble_: are you sure about /android-studiu/bin ? or is it ~/android-studio/bin ? [09:14] yea its ~ [09:14] that's a partition only [09:14] hsn6, i think it's the whole disk [09:15] i just tried the Disks program and when you click create disk image no matter what partition is selected it says copy of /dev/sda [09:16] I have backed up from one of its partition [09:16] humble_: yes, to add that to your path you need to put it into your ~/.bashrc [09:16] humble_: but its not called "opening bash", that is what made me wonder. [09:16] how i put it there ? [09:17] hsn6, did you use the Disks program in ubuntu or another utility? [09:17] ubuntu 14.04 [09:17] owwww [09:18] humble_: nano .bashrc , then paste it there, save, close. [09:18] i just paste it [09:18] hsn6, i think it's the image of the whole disk, i just tried to make an image of a tiny partition and it said no space [09:18] i just pasted it in terminal and worked [09:18] hsn6, how big is the size of the .img? [09:18] i just pasted export PATH="$PATH:~/android-studio/bin" [09:18] in terminal and worked thatnks alot [09:19] hsn6, is the disk you are trying to copy the stuff to empty? [09:20] i mean does it have any data you still need? [09:21] it is the same of that partition [09:22] hsn6, ok that's odd, how did you make it? [09:22] hsn6, ah nevermind, i just found it [09:23] i was pressing on the power button on the top not on the tiny one at the bottom [09:23] Hi all, is this anything to worry about? I'm assuming it's caused by my two external HDDs being attached while booting, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10589885/ [09:23] hsn6, ok, well you can dd it i guess and it should copy the data there, i think if the partition is larger already it won't create a smaller one, it'll just fill up the data and you'll end up with free space ( i think ) [09:24] yes, all of them exist on it and I can restore them on larger partition, but on larger partition I haven't additional free space than it must be [09:24] hsn6, as spagewmf said make sure you have the right partition name before you dd it, check and check again [09:24] I did it but same result === mikecmpb_ is now known as mikecmpbll [09:24] ok...not sure how I am going to do this. I have a bunch of videos titled chapter_1.mp4 chapter_2.mp4 chapter_3.mp4, etc. I want to join them with avconv in terminal. I also don't want to have to manually type out the entire damn file for each one. There are a LOT of videos I have to connect. Anyway I can do this with avconv with a wildcard and have it do it in the right order (1, 2, 3, etc.)? [09:25] it doesn't show free space that must be [09:25] hsn6, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:25] and give us the link [09:27] my partition that I talking about it is on my sdcard that android exist on it [09:27] I'm on android now :D [09:29] hsn6, oh ok, i've no idea about that [09:29] I have used cp * -r on image but some files didn't copied like /data (android) === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno [09:30] hsn6, is it /data or /.data ? [09:30] on android I think it's /data [09:31] ok [09:32] hsn6, was the partition empty when you dd'd it? [09:33] no, it was my android :cry: === vodkode is now known as vodkode-away === paradonym is now known as AFK-paradonym [09:34] i think dd doesn't change the partition size, cause the partition table has the sizes of the partitions, so it would only copy the data [09:35] hsn6, if you didn't see the partition size changed, then probably there was already data there and it copied your partitions data and some of the data that was there is causing the free space to be taken up [09:35] hello [09:35] ok...not sure how I am going to do this. I have a bunch of videos titled chapter_1.mp4 chapter_2.mp4 chapter_3.mp4, etc. I want to join them with avconv in terminal. I also don't want to have to manually type out the entire damn file for each one. There are a LOT of videos I have to connect. Anyway I can do this with avconv with a wildcard and have it do it in the right order (1, 2, 3, etc.)? [09:35] i am a live user and can not install qine [09:35] wine¨** [09:35] leonic, what's happening? [09:36] antonio_: avconv ... chapter_[0-9].mp4 chapter_[0-9][0-9].mp4 [09:36] antonio_, http://libav.org/avconv.html#Video-and-Audio-file-format-conversion [09:36] EriC**: I don't think aboutbit like you [09:36] it say some packcages have unmeet dependencies [09:36] antonio_: wildcarding is normally done by the shell. If `echo chapt*.mp4` displays the files in the order you want them in the command-line to avconv, then the wildcard should work [09:36] antonio_: you can also shorten it with brace expansion; chapter_[0-9]{,[0-9]}.mp4 [09:37] leonic, try sudo apt-get -f install [09:37] hi . I used figaro password manager and it crashed, leaving the fpm locked. can I unlock it? [09:39] hsn6, i think it might be so, if you could get the size of the partition and how much space is being used it would be more clear [09:41] Hello [09:41] geirha: echo DVD*.mp4 shows everything in the correct order - dvd_1.mp4, dvd_2.mp4, etc... What is the file syntax I should use with avconv? [09:42] antonio_: I only showed how to glob them in the right order (I don't know avconv). See cfhowlett's link on what to actually use with avconv. Seems -i dvd_%d.mp4 is what you want [09:43] not working [09:43] it says this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10589955/ [09:43] Ubuntu 14.04 installing on this Serial RAID (striped) dual SSD, fingers crossed.

[09:46] ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa ??? yes ?? [09:47] leonic, no, it's in software & updates in the dash [09:47] on my terminal i can ssh to my server but on my windows using putty i can [09:47] leonic, ppa's aren't really recommended unless they're needed, they sometimes break stuff [09:47] hsn6: because you put a 800MB image onto a 2GB partition, you'd have to resize it [09:48] EriC^^: actually, the wine ppa is pretty good [09:48] Ben64, ok, good to know :) [09:48] hsn6, type df -h [09:48] leonic, maybe you have to run `sudo apt-get update` first? [09:48] its the only way to get support in #winehq too :) [09:48] cfhowlett: Do you know how I can do a batch run with avconv on all mp4s in a directory? ex - dvd_1.mp4 - dvd_2.mp4 to append them to lets say fulldvd.mp4 ?

Going for minimal ubuntu because I run lightdm+xmonad. The machine has the new nvidia 980GTX which is only supported by nvidia-graphics-drivers-346, that package is only available in vivid. I tried installing with the .run file from nvidia but that completely messed up the install and am now redoing it.. Would [11:18] installing from nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 be more safe and how should I do that? [11:18] how can i block an ip address from accessing my webserver in ubuntu? I used input to drop the ip, but still the ip reaches the webserver. [11:19] hi guys, just want to put this note out here, I spent days with slow internet to find out it was my Ubuntu / Kubuntu network problem. I just had to diable IP6 for my network !!! [11:19] disable * [11:20] MichaelHabib: That is a problem with your network then. IPv6 must be misconfigured on your network. [11:22] murcha: Depends on which web server you are using and what version. [11:23] rypervenche: i use nginx 1.6 stable version currently [11:24] rypervenche: i blocked a couple of ips in iptables , but when i check the webserver the ips are active there. Only i adjust in webserver to repond an empty package. [11:25] murcha: Then you didn't correctly block them in iptables. If you block them in nginx, it will give a 403 HTTP code. [11:25] murcha: Please show me what your iptables look like. "sudo iptables -nvL" [11:26] rypervenche: ok [11:28] rypervenche: here is the output to the command http://paste.ubuntu.com/10590339/ [11:29] rypervenche: the line 7 i added recently. but those above the line don't have any force. [11:30] Yeah, then maybe you got the IP wrong. No packets have hit any of those rules. [11:30] And that third rule is pointless, because the first two block those IPs completely. [11:30] anyone know where/how i can access sshd's logs in ubuntu 14.04? [11:31] rypervenche: TY, could it be due to using old modems that dont full support IP6? but you make a good point, I will digg through the router config to see what the problem is. [11:31] pandeiro, they're probably somewhere in /var/log [11:31] EriC^^: yeah i looked there and couldn't find anything, i'll look again [11:31] pandeiro, try locate ssh*log in a terminal [11:32] EriC^^: locate? [11:32] pandeiro: /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure. Also, /var/log/syslog may have something [11:32] yeah, it's a command [11:32] hmm, don't have it on my system [11:33] rypervenche: no /var/log/auth.log nor /var/log/secure :/ [11:33] there's a big file called /var/log/lastlog but it's binary [11:33] I don't have a /var/log/secure, but I'm surprised if you don't have /var/log/auth.log [11:33] me too [11:34] pandeiro, do you have syslog? [11:34] SchrodingersScat: i'm using this - https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/ubuntu/ [11:34] maybe that's why [11:35] EriC^^: i don't know, how can i check?

[11:39] rypervenche: i got ips from the log file [11:40] pandeiro, i think it logs to auth.log [11:40] pandeiro, rsyslog takes care of that [11:40] murcha: Then those IPs haven't tried to make connections again. [11:40] pandeiro, i'd get rsyslog to start when ubuntu boots, it's pretty handy [11:40] EriC^^: yeah i guess the problem is that rsyslog isn't running in the docker container === nano_ is now known as citroniks [11:41] EriC^^: it complicates things to have to run a second process, containers can only have a single process [11:43] looks like sshd -E might be what i need [11:43] EriC^^: thanks a lot for your help [11:46] pandeiro, no problem, i'm not sure what you mean about the container though, i've no idea about it but i think you can get rsyslog to work without using the single process [11:46] rypervenche: log file show this way http://paste.ubuntu.com/10590413/ [11:47] Hello, is anyone here who can help me?

[12:09] pythonideu: why should it? [12:09] thats like inserting a usb stick and mounting it [12:09] but with a disk [12:09] pythonideus: sure, if you remove something from the live environment it will remove it from disk. If you mess up the partitioning step you can wipe out your existing ubuntu, etc etc [12:11] is this room filled with bots?? no one seems to help!!

[12:30] Hi all, is this anything to worry about?

[12:40] EriC^, : yes i do [12:40] ok, the first icon is the dash [12:40] click on it and type drivers, it'll search the programs you have installed [12:41] btw you can drag any program to the left so it stays there as an icon [12:41] EriC^, : ok copy that.. will let u know in a bit [12:42] EriC^, : it says no additioanl drivers available [12:42] ok [12:43] if you press the network icon on the top right corner [12:43] is there an enable wifi button?

[14:37] Yes! :) I personally stick with teamviewer or skype since almost everone knows theese tools! :) [14:37] dorfen, thanks for the suggestions. [14:38] Would it be correct to say that allow-hotplug just does not actually allow for up/down based on cable insertion / removal? It appears to just come up with the network device is detected. [14:39] applepi: I *believe* allow-hotplug only matters when the cable is plugged in (in that it allows eth0 (or whatever) to come up when it's plugged in) [14:39] applepi: I don't think it knows or cares about what you do after that [14:40] yeats: on my system what I'm observing is eth0 just comes up automatically on boot, and if I plug in the cable after, I have to ifdown/up to get an address and whatnot. [14:41] applepi: then I don't know [14:42] applepi: look into 'man interfaces' [14:43] applepi: 'Lines beginning with "allow-" are used to identify interfaces that should be brought up automatically by various subsytems. This may be done using a command such as "ifup --allow=hotplug eth0 eth1", which will only bring up eth0 or eth1 if it is listed in an "allow-hotplug"' [14:43] so you still need 'ifup' [14:44] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

[14:59] k1l: the only funny thing is that the laptop had an uptime of roughly 3 months. [14:59] k1l: I've decided today to reboot. [15:00] yacc: well, could be some video driver issue then. with a new kernel maybe. can you whos the xorg .log? [15:00] are .deb installers supported on ubuntu or should i just get the generic one?

[17:10] sambuco: What does your script do? [17:10] sambuco: Then you would have to pass through your wlan device, which is supported on Linux 64bit hosts only.

[17:15] sambuco: bridging with a virtualisation program isn't the same as a 'bridge interface' inside Linux [17:15] sambuco, ok hold up [17:16] and in virtualbox or other hypervisor there is no way to create a virtual wireless NIC ?

[17:30] buen dia a todos [17:30] ocx: no, your C: is on sda there as a 60GB partition [17:30] Ocx command line lsblk will answer u q [17:31] eliso00on: not very helpful given ocx is in Windows :P [17:31] lsblk on linux but i am on windows [17:31] Lol [17:31] hello. I need some help. When grub appears with its menu, I select windows8, and then this unreadable screen appears http://i61.tinypic.com/1492iqx.jpg instead of blue windows logo with spinning circle. How to get rid of this problem? [17:32] rypervenche, i haven't [17:32] What are u doing on windows machine hate windows ... [17:32] Can someone give me a hand with chroot? [17:32] I followed the instructions here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/ [17:32] but when I try to SFTP into my server, it keeps telling me the username and pass is rejected [17:32] i hate windows more than you do trust me [17:32] How can I mount a ntfs partition with execute permissions (or different perms in general) while retaining the default UI behaviour?(i.e. show up on desktop/FM and mount-on-access? [17:33] momomo: Then it will depend on the package that you got. We can't really help a whole lot with that. If it installed an init script, then you can set it to start it on boot. [17:34] rypervenche, i have the script .. i have copied it over to /etc/init.d/postregsql .. but it appears as if it is not executed [17:35] do I need to used insserv .. if so how ? [17:35] momomo: What version of Ubuntu? [17:35] Anyone? [17:35] 14.04/14.10 [17:35] i have both version on two differnt servers [17:36] This post here does something with ln: http://askubuntu.com/a/367059/355141 [17:36] momomo: With 14.04, I believe you will use update-rc.d enable to enable it. [17:36] but that command does not do anything wit hthe script in question [17:37] michaelaguiar, maybe that command it's not allowed by the jailed user [17:37] sudo update-rc.d /path/to/script defaults ? [17:37] ioria: FTP? [17:37] ioria: could it be a setting in my sshd_config that is disallowing login? [17:38] momomo: I would have to read the man page. I don't remember offhand. [17:38] michaelaguiar, i think it depends on /var/jail files [17:39] ioria: so I just tried using SFTP after commenting out my Match Group sftp…. lines, and I got it, although not jailed [17:39] I get this messsage: insserv: warning: script 'postgresql' missing LSB tags and overrides [17:39] when I run sudo update-rc.d /etc/init.d/postgresql defaults .. it also complained on another script deenyhosts [17:40] ioria: and I dont have a /var/jail directory [17:40] michaelaguiar, let me see theguide you used ... [17:40] ioria: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/linux-and-open-source/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/ [17:41] it seesms to have started now thanks [17:42] michaelaguiar, it's for mandriva... [17:42] ioria: I didn’t do the shell access step that says madriva [17:43] ioria: I don’t want shell access for this user, just them jailed to their site directory without installing third party software preferably [17:45] ioria: do you know of an easy way to do this? [17:45] michaelaguiar, check the end of this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134425/how-can-i-chroot-sftp-only-ssh-users-into-their-homes [17:45] ioria: ok ill check, thanks! [17:48] ioria: Hmm still didn’t work. I think it might be my directory structure [17:48] how do i remove my swap partition and merge its space with the ext4 / filesystem, in a way that does, preferrably, not brick easily? [17:48] ioria: so I don’t want to use /home/user, I want to use something like /home/forge/sitename.com/public [17:49] I assume i could just swapoff and gparted from a live cd, but i read that this has the potential to break my / fs? [17:49] /29 [17:49] xSolidState: it will depend on what your partition table looks like. Can you provide us the "fdisk -l /dev/sdX" or "gdisk -l /dev/sdX" output of your disk? [17:49] xSolidState: you should backup regardless [17:49] xSolidState: any modification of your partition layout has the potential to break things [17:53] michaelaguiar, did you add a system group ? [17:53] ioria: I added the group “sftp”, which that user is assigned to, and then I have Match Group sftp.. in my ssh config [17:54] http://pastebin.com/aqjB6bHu this is my gdisk -l output for my drive. I want to remove and merge the swap space [17:57] k, I am trying to install ubuntu 11.10 from a live cd [17:57] that is a very unwise move. [17:57] !11.10 [17:57] Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) was the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 9, 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [17:57] yeah, do what now? [17:57] when the computer boots it runs bunch of codes and gets stucks [17:57] 2 years dead. [17:58] anybody know how to solve this? [17:58] md5 your ISO download then remake the flash drive / DVD burning at the slowest speed, with verification [17:58] The most recent update for 12.04 results in the alt-tab menu taking at least a second to pop-up. Is there any reason why this would be the case? [17:58] Ubotto use ubu 14.14.2 [17:58] burn the cd, then *burn* the cd :P [17:59] michaelaguiar, weel, i think you should create appropriate directory for the user [17:59] eliso00on: ubottu is the channel bot, who spoke because i typed ! [17:59] Ok [17:59] Lol [17:59] U damn boot ..lol [17:59] anybody knows how to solve this installation issue [17:59] ioria: so it has to be /home/user for this to work? [17:59] what do I type when I get the prompt "boot:"? [18:00] outofnowhere: your disc is badly made, i already said what to do [18:00] So, the 2nd to last kernel update on my 10.04 machine broke everything. Going back to previous kernels fixes it. Should I even bother trying to debug and submit information about this? Or will I just be told, "10.04 is out of support". [18:00] cd /home/username mkdir public_html chown username:sftp * [18:00] outofnowhere: daftykins> md5 your ISO download then remake the flash drive / DVD burning at the slowest speed, with verification [18:00] michaelaguiar, cd /home/username mkdir public_html chown username:sftp * [18:00] superkuh: hi sir, given server 10.04 dies at last end of April i'd think it fruitless [18:01] ioria: ok thanks [18:01] Right-o. I'll just stick with the old kernel for now and start setting up things to do it by myself from now on. [18:01] dafty, if the support ends, does that mean you can't install it? I thought it only meant you don't get the software support but can still install it [18:01] am I wrong? [18:02] outofnowhere: it's an EOL release that is unwise to use on the internet, so if you're booting it to test - that's fine, but if you're going to try and use it - i would say HELL NO! :) [18:02] dafty, I am just trying to test [18:03] outofnowhere: ok well no point going as far as installing, just booting as 'try' would be fine - keep it disconnected from the internet too [18:03] k [18:03] I am a the "boot:" prompt [18:03] at* [18:04] Hello, I am new here, can someone help me with some Ubuntu 14.10 Server issues regarding the installation of transmission? [18:04] anybody knows what to do from here [18:04] shred -z -u my_secret_file Delete the file for good.. Good to now ppl [18:04] outofnowhere: your disc has issues, if you're seeing that. [18:04] hard disk? [18:05] outofnowhere: installation disc, so CD or whatever [18:05] ok [18:05] Know..lol [18:05] Is this the right channel to ask for Help regarding Ubuntu server issues? Is there a way I can chat with someone? [18:05] outofnowhere: so please follow my above advice :) redownload a supported edition, md5 it to check it isn't corrupt... then put on a flash drive / burn to DVD slowly and with verification [18:05] Kamphuijs: just ask, with details, on one line [18:05] Kamphuijs, just shot your problem [18:06] :) [18:06] k [18:06] dafty, I have only 1.5 mb ram, which is the latest version of ubuntu should I download [18:07] 1.5GB i hope :> [18:07] Ok thank you. My transmission-daemon seems to be locked/corrupt/broken. When i type: sudo apt-get-upgrade I get errors regarding the transmission-daemon. I think this is the most important line from the error list: invoke-rc.d: initscript transmission-daemon, action "start" failed. [18:07] outofnowhere: 14.04.1 [18:07] lol [18:07] that would work with 1.5 mb ram? [18:07] tots m8 [18:07] you do not have 1.5 megabytes of RAM, trust me. [18:07] k [18:08] maybe hes from the 1990's [18:08] where do I check if the disk is corrupted or not [18:08] Also: when I type: sudo service transmission-daemon stop i get the following error: + sudo service transmission-daemon stop [18:08] stop: Unknown instance: === Mastermi1d is now known as ZAKhan [18:09] no, my pc is old [18:09] I know I have 1.5 mb ram [18:09] my pc is ancient [18:10] that is why I am installing the linux [18:10] outofnowhere, try colibri [18:10] I put the ram myself, added 1mb [18:10] then it became 1.5 [18:10] it was when windows xp was first released, that is when I bought that pc [18:10] now I am trying to use it as linux [18:11] hello, I have a problem with ssh, I have a server which I have been able to ssh in for months but the last few days I cant do it, when i try to ssh in it says 'failed to add entry' can anybody tell me how to solve it_ [18:11] ??? [18:11] outofnowhere: no, you 100% do not have 1.5 megabytes :) [18:11] *gigabytes* [18:12] dafty, how you know? [18:12] because that's not possible [18:12] you mean not exact bytes/ [18:12] ? [18:13] having a hard time finding a new laptop to run ubuntu, any suggestions? [18:13] I am 2 256 ram before [18:13] outofnowhere: no i'm saying you have a lot more RAM than a floppy disk can hold [18:13] then I added 1 mb, 1024 bytes [18:13] so add the numbers [18:13] LOL [18:14] i think hes trolling [18:14] me too [18:14] budg have you tried newegg.com or amazon.com? [18:15] yeah, with limited success [18:17] also, what do people use to work with excel and word docs, the libreoffice stuff isn't good enough [18:18] hi all, what is the easiest way to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 without breaking anything? i am new to this [18:18] designergirl1994: no guarantees when it comes to that, make sure you backup [18:19] budg, yeah that can be annoying [18:19] some docs might not show/edit correctly [18:19] is there a solution? [18:19] i think it has more to do with the microsoft office suite creating files that don't confine to the open XML format (or whatever its caalled) [18:20] budg, nope, other than emulating windows or just using windows i suppose [18:20] budg: how did you get on visiting a shop and trying a flash drive to boot from as i suggested yesterday? [18:20] well the ms stuff has some problems, but its pretty good overall. apple, which is run on linux, has versions of it [18:20] bprompt, I solved the wireless network issue [18:20] daftykins - will back up. once that is done, what's the safest way to upgrade? [18:20] daftykins: i'm looking for recomendations right now, and not finding many [18:20] designergirl1994: via the update manager, which should offer the upgrade to trusty - you're not the one with the mac mini are you? [18:21] Hey [18:21] daftykins: it is a dell machine [18:21] designergirl1994: ok just checking, you reminded me of another user was all [18:21] Hey there !!! [18:21] Do anybody here have a group of friends who are interested/working in network security? [18:21] daftykins: no problem [18:21] v7: yes we see you, do you have an ubuntu support question? [18:21] Yeah [18:22] Something like that [18:22] C0r3: off topic for here thanks, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:22] Where I can ask something about irc chat ? [18:22] Or znc ? [18:22] v7: what specifically? [18:22] I want to install irc chat with znc support but ... [18:22] daftykins: thanks. once i upgrade, where can i find user manuals to learn more about 14.04? [18:22] I have problem with channel ... [18:22] !manual | designergirl1994 this'll help [18:22] designergirl1994 this'll help: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:22] I did an apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [18:23] I can't write something cause it saying that I'm not connected to channel [18:23] On my own server [18:23] Did understand me ? [18:23] v7: hmm, there might be a znc support channel somewhere, tried #znc ? [18:23] ubottu: thanks [18:23] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [18:23] Ok )) [18:23] Thx ! [18:23] I'll try ! [18:24] Good luck for ya ! [18:24] ubottu: sorry didnt know that :-) [18:24] ) [18:24] designergirl1994: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:24] designergirl1994: i typed a !factoid which made ubottu message you [18:24] daftykins: what is a factoid? is it a command? [18:24] designergirl1994: yep, it's the !manual bit which made ubottu speak [18:25] outofnowhere: great :) [18:25] daftykins: i am very sorry to bother you, but do you mean if you prefix "!" before any word, ubottu will answer? [18:27] designergirl1994: not quite, they are set commands which us helpers learn [18:27] :0 [18:27] Hi. Question: Does latest Ubuntu have drivers for a GTX 750? My 12.04 won't boot now so I thought I'd make a 14.10 or so USB stick and install over. [18:27] In some applications (like Netbeans), my fonts look a bit thin and crummy. For example: https://i.imgur.com/19q0pE9.png Is there any way to fix this? [18:27] ArneLurk: 750Ti ? [18:27] designergirl1994: it's an IRC convention for bots to be triggered by commands prefixed by ! [18:28] daftykins: thanks [18:28] treelzebub: thank you so much [18:28] daftykins: ZOTAC GTX 750 Zone, (passive, not Ti) [18:28] treelzebub: so how can i run the command? like !manual?

With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [18:28] oh i did it, didn't i? :-) [18:28] you can /msg ubottu to play around with it privately :) [18:28] designergirl1994: what are you specifically after again? [18:29] oh great [18:29] treelzebub: thanks again [18:29] sure thing [18:29] ArneLurk: most likely you will need to boot with 'nomodeset' appended to get it to show a picture - 12.04 is ancient so i'd suggest using 14.04.1 - then you may need to install a driver from an additional repo if version 331 doesn't work [18:29] bprompt: i am trying to upgrade ubuntu to 14.04 and learn more on how to use it [18:29] bprompt: i have 12.04 on my dad's machine which is mine now [18:29] I have ubuntu 14.04...i installed scilab(through command line)...and I also built scilab using the code(compiled and installed)....now i want to remove scilab completly..the code version as well as the command line part...how should i do that? [18:30] thanks for the help everyone [18:30] olet tervetullut [18:31] designergirl1994: you don't want to upgrade, you want a clean install of 14.04. wipe the hdd and everything. [18:31] designergirl1994: one sec [18:32] daftykins: I don't really care about the 12.04 install so I should be able to simply replace it, booting from a unetbootin stick, right? 12.04 won't even update/upgrade or do a release upgrade now [18:32] hi there, is it possible or is there an easy conversion if I want to install a PPA for precise onto trusty ? [18:33] designergirl1994: http://ubuntuguide.org/images/UbuntuguideTrusty_Pt1.pdf [18:33] dang! lots of people with dead versions of Ubuntu today ;) [18:33] ArneLurk: there's no reason why it wouldn't, also i'd avoid unetbootin [18:33] treelzebub: like what? 12.04 is good until 2017 [18:33] my mistake :) [18:34] nosleep77: I wouldn't suggest it. You could change the text in the file created in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to read 'precise' instead of 'trusty' then install as normal. I wouldn't be surprised if you got issues [18:34] nosleep77: ..... I'd think installing a ppa in 14.04 is the same as in any other version, including 12.04 [18:34] howdy [18:35] nosleep77: finding a PPA etc supporting trusty will be less troublesome [18:35] lsdmt: howdy pardner [18:35] first time on linux in a few years, ubuntu has come a long way [18:35] indeed! [18:36] daftykins: what would I use instead of unetbootin? Mind, I have Grub and Windows 7 dual boot to worry about too. I suppose I could use some os probing thingamajib to refresh Grub [18:36] that's called 'progress' [18:37] ArneLurk: if you can still download an ISO on Linux, use the terminal to 'dd' the ISO onto aflash drive === fought_away is now known as fought [18:37] ArneLurk: also be sure to MD5 test the ISO you download [18:37] what folder do I need to move GTK+ themes to in order to select them in tweak tool? [18:37] ActionParsnip: that's what i tried but its not installing. is there a guide I can follow to convert it? obviously i'll share it with community [18:37] lsdmt: ~/.themes [18:38] I have a separate 14.?? install of Ubuntu on my laptop so I can work from there. [18:38] nosleep77: it's a text file... You know how to type... It's not some encrypted file. Open it in gedit and read.... [18:38] Hi [18:38] lsdmt: there's gtk2 and gtk3, and usually the theme will include either, or both in a subdirectory [18:39] ActionParsnip: you're saying i dont have to rebuild the package or anything just change some text around ? [18:39] i have eclipse-java and eclipse cpp how do i install them? [18:39] how do you login to a mysql database on ubuntu? [18:40] ablest1980: what did you download? a .bzip or a .zip or a .jar file? [18:40] nosleep77: add the PPA as usual then edit the text in the new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that is made from trusty to precise. [18:40] tar.gz [18:40] ActionParsnip: that part doesn't work already tried. still doesn't install [18:41] nosleep77: if you try it you will see how easy it is. The application or whatever you are installing may not work [18:41] ablest1980: unzip it, nautilus or whatever file manager will do it, and usually it'd have an .install file or a .jar to run it, or an .sh shell file to run, check its README.txt [18:41] one wont install i think it i get an error i think maybe it didnt finish downloading [18:41] nosleep77: did you run: sudo apt-get update , after you changed the file? [18:42] ablest1980: is what you need not in the Ubuntu repositories? [18:42] ablest1980: well, if it's incomplete, retry the download... how were you downloading it? from the webbrowser? [18:42] ablest1980: good point above ^, it may be just be in the repositories, and you could just install them off there [18:42] yes bprompt [18:43] !find eclipse [18:43] Found: redeclipse, redeclipse-data, redeclipse-dbg, redeclipse-server, redeclipse-server-dbg, eclipse, eclipse-anyedit, eclipse-cdt, eclipse-cdt-autotools, eclipse-cdt-jni (and 51 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=eclipse&searchon=names&suite=utopic§ion=all [18:43] halo guys im kigenyi phillip and im glad to join the ubuntu community [18:43] how may i bprompt [18:43] on the other hand, the repositories are often times a version behind [18:43] ablest1980: well, if it's incomplete, retry the download... how were you downloading it? from the webbrowser? [18:43] yes [18:44] ablest1980: then check in the browser "download" section, if it's an incomplete download, it'd allow resume of the download [18:45] ablest1980: then again, bear in mind what ActionParsnip said, you may just be able to get them off the repositories [18:45] eclipse cpp works eclipse java doesnt [18:46] ablest1980: can you be more specific about the error you're getting? [18:46] ablest1980: that may be better fit at #ecliipse channel maybe, since it's just a "plugin" of the eclipse framework then [18:47] codephillip_: welcome, friend :) [18:47] ok [18:47] ty [18:56] Hello guys.

[19:02] will a file with the same contents + different names ... generate the same SHA? [19:02] delinquentme: yes [19:03] SHA (and other standard file hash functions) only hash file contents, not metadata [19:04] rww, so then if I downloaded the same script via wget ... and then by pulling that script up on a browser, copy / paste / save as ... [19:04] that sum SHOULD be the same [19:04] correct [19:04] https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py [19:04] thats the file in question ... but I'm getting two different sums. [19:04] assuming your browser just saves the file as-is and doesn't do any interpretation === thomas_ is now known as Guest29288 [19:04] oh, you're copy-pasting [19:04] might be saving it with different line ending encodings perhaps? idk [19:05] rww, +1 [19:06] Transmission Cannot be upgraded: sudo apt-upgrade will follow by invoke-rc.d: initscript transmission-daemon, action "start" failed.

I tried ufw --dry-run allow 6697 outgoing [19:54] edward____: if you got issues with the 340 too you can look if the modules from nouveau get loaded on resume. that is the issue most time with suspend. i need to go afk so.

Here is the problem.. The external monitor looks GREAT 1:1 (no scaling) but due to high dpi i wanted to set the 15,6 inch to 1080p. But it just looks REALLY BLURRY. Is it just me thinking it should look better ? Compared to 27 inch 1440p it looks really bad. [19:54] Still having issues accessing my nexus 6 over mtp :/ [19:54] k1l, i dont know how to do it [19:55] BYE [19:56] Now I'm getting unhandled error message... unable to open blah [19:56] sorry to be lazy but what's the format for server registration on freenode? - I haven't irc'd in a very long time [19:57] Audaces: Have you tried sshdroid?

Navigation is also super complex requiring way too many clicks. [20:13] ty [20:15] gives me only my virtual disk space [20:15] donniezazen: navigation ? [20:15] How do I tile a wallpaper in Gnome3? [20:15] bowlesa: is it not in the wall paper settings, scaled/tiled/centered/auto [20:16] bprompt: im running ubuntu virtual disk and it's the only 1 listed, there's also another failed ubuntu install that I can't acess from windows, can i do it from ubuntu virtual, or like do a very hardcore format on that other disk [20:16] zhan_: what is ubuntu virtual disk ? [20:16] thats not an ubuntu product [20:16] ikonia you know the categories on the side. There are local and install-able apps. If you want to go from music to system then you have to click system and then click music to uncheck it. [20:17] donniezazen: thats two clicks or you could use alt tab [20:17] hehe [20:17] Could someone help me to install http://www.andre-simon.de/doku/mlock/en/mlock.php ?

[20:18] donniezazen: if you don't like it, don't use it [20:19] nothing is perfect [20:19] ikoenia: i mean im running virtual machine that only appears to have access to .virtual disk or something [20:19] I am a heavy KDE user. I am thinking about shuffling up my workflow. It's not that I don't like it. I am unaware of how folks find it efficient. [20:19] ikonia: ^^ [20:20] zhan_: what is the virutal machine technology ? [20:20] zege is there a line for setting the lock screen wallpaper too? [20:20] bowlesa: to get it tiled? [20:20] yeah [20:21] bowlesa: mom [20:22] zege mom? [20:22] im logged into a server as user 'ubuntu' [20:22] where can I get the commands I ran in the past [20:22] isn't there like a .history file?

"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." When i execute that, a cli-dialog comes up asking me what mysql-server to install, but the dialog does not work (pressing enter does nothing, the dialog does not go away). How to fix this situation? [20:25] (Ubuntu 14.04; dpkg 1.17.5) [20:26] addiks: it sounds like you have a partially installed mysql package [20:26] addiks: I would suggest doing an apt-get remove on the package [20:27] ikonia: i have already tried that, but every(!) apt command get's rejected with the error-message above. [20:27] bowlesa: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver picture-options wallpaper [20:27] addiks: how did you try to remove it [20:27] sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql* [20:27] zege: thanks! [20:28] bowlesa: you can look at the full tree of options with: dconf-editor [20:28] addiks: don't wildcard it - work through each package and find out which is the problem [20:28] zege: cool, thanks [20:29] ikonia: i cannot remove any packet, even completely unrelated ones. I just directly get the error above and nothing else. [20:30] addiks try this sudo aptitude purge '~c' [20:30] addiks: try to remove it via dpkg, there are options to not run the pre/post hooks too === benjamin__ is now known as dbhillz [20:33] ikonia: removing the packages one by one using dpkg finally worked, thanks! (aptitude failed just like apt) [20:39] So I can't get my internal microphone to work, so I plug in an external one. I manage to get it working in audacity, but not in Cheese Webcam Booth [20:39] I have a question, I just setup my computer at work with Ubuntu so I can have a UNIX setup [20:39] I usually VPN and remote desktop in when I Work remotely [20:40] how can I achieve this with Ubuntu? [20:40] ikonia: i take that back, it does not resove my problems. As soon as i try to update, the mysql-server-chooser-dialog pops back up asking me what to isntall, except it is not accepting any answer and just blocks the process. [20:42] I did set the plugged-in microphone to be my default recording device as well. Any ideas as to what the issue could be? [20:42] Yesterday I asked someone how to use avconv to append all videos sequentially (dvd1.mpg, dvd2.mpg, etc) to a single mpg. I was told to use avconv -i /tmp/test%d.Y /tmp/out.mpg The only problem is I'm getting a directory not found. How can I tell terminal to use the directory I'm currently in? [20:46] how to get back network manager in panel 0 xfce? [20:48] Yesterday I asked someone how to use avconv to append all videos sequentially (dvd1.mpg, dvd2.mpg, etc) to a single mpg. I was told to use avconv -i /tmp/test%d.Y /tmp/out.mpg The only problem is I'm getting a directory not found. How can I tell terminal to use the directory I'm currently in? [20:49] antonio_: are the files saved in /tmp ? [20:49] can anyone help me out here? [20:49] bobby1: That depends on your actual question :) [20:50] bobby1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [20:50] zege: nope...I'm in terminal in the directory where the files are lcoated [20:50] located* [20:50] @zege: I thought I could just use avconv -i DVD%.Y DVD.mpg but it doesn't work [20:51] antonio_: then you should use just the filename without any /blah/blah/ or you use a ./ before the filename for current dir. [20:51] I need to remotely connect to my work computer which has Ubuntu [20:52] zege: like this? avconv -i /DVD%d.Y DVD.mpg [20:52] How do I invite someone to view my destop? [20:52] antonio_: avconv -i ./DVD%d.Y ./DVD.mpg [20:52] desktop [20:52] bobby1: can you elaborate? [20:52] You don't [20:52] bobby1: And does your company allow VPN access? [20:53] Hello, does anyone know how to fix wifi on my lenovo yoga 2? Wifi isnt hard or soft blocked but it still doesn't work [20:53] We don't do that here [20:53] yeah [20:53] we usually use viscosity [20:53] zege: its telling me no such directory or file name [20:53] Oh sorry, wrong channel guys [20:53] they are mainly on mac and windows but I am trialing Ubuntu [20:54] antonio_: that could be as there may be no files called DVD%d.Y [20:54] bobby1: It is irrelevant which OS is running on your computer in the office - which OS does the computer run where you are at, currently? [20:54] zege: all of the files are named DVD01BSH - Chapter 00_NEW.MP4, DVD01BSH - Chapter 01_NEW.MP4, DVD01BSH - Chapter 02_NEW.MP4, etc [20:54] I run Ubuntu as well. [20:54] both machines run Ubuntu [20:55] ciao [20:56] antonio_: i know, but avconv is seraching for a single file called DVD%d.Y and there probably is no file with that exact file name. [20:56] bobby1: So you need to install a VPN client (like OpenVPN) and connect to your office VPN. [20:56] antonio_: i'm looking for a solution to your problem, just one moment please.

I have a TON of videos to do [21:00] im running ubuntu of virtual disk and there's another HDD that windows doesn't see, and nor ubuntu. The HDD is a failed ubuntu installation, what should I do. [21:00] bobby1: Then you need to install a VNC server on your office computer - or, even though it is a 3rd party tool, just use nomachine client/server. === harttho_ is now known as harttho [21:03] in other words how to format my HDD in ext4 from windows? [21:04] zhan_: you cant. === nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire [21:05] bekks: i just found a way after phrasing it like that in google, disk management [21:05] still presents me with that hDD [21:05] zhan_: Which will not allow you to format ext4.

[21:06] bekks: well no, im trying to format it back so that I could install my virtual machine on it, and the format it from here, cuz my previous installation failed horribly [21:06] zhan_: that doesnt make any sense. [21:06] zhan_: whats the actual issue?

[21:09] I think you had VD01BSH in it [21:10] antonio_: yes i did mean that [21:10] zege: what is the VD01BSH? is that supposed to be the directory I'm in? [21:11] antonio_: after -i should be the actual file name of your files, just replace the number with %d [21:11] zhan_: So insert the Ubuntu CD and install Ubuntu. [21:12] bekks: that's how i broke it last time [21:12] zege2: kind of confused [21:13] zhan_: Whatever you are doing there currently will break it even more. [21:13] bekks: installing on HDD again from VM? [21:14] zhan_: Thats a good way to break things. Why dont you use a CD and install Ubuntu onto the free space? [21:14] antonio_: avconv does need to know how _your_files are called. I don't know the correct file names. [21:14] ill give my way a try, cuz I don't lose time to installation, and more so in control [21:14] bekks: i just remembered I misplaced my usb [21:15] zhan_: Good luck. Unless you created the raw VMDK correctly, you will break your system horribly. [21:16] bekks: just the HDD or windows too? [21:16] zhan_: Everything. [21:16] bekks: what will happen, I've placed my virtual disk on the another HDD [21:17] bekks: and will run install through erase disk from there [21:17] zhan_: Whats do you mean by "erase disk from there"? [21:17] zege: all of the files are named DVD01BSH - Chapter 00_NEW.MP4, DVD01BSH - Chapter 01_NEW.MP4, DVD01BSH - Chapter 02_NEW.MP4, etc [21:17] bekks: option of erasing the whole disk and reformating it in installation options [21:18] sorry, this syntax with avconv is confusing me [21:18] shadowe989: That doesnt make any sense when dealing with a vm and a virtual disk file. [21:18] tabfail. [21:18] zhan_: That doesnt make any sense when dealing with a vm and a virtual disk file. === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [21:18] zhan_: Just erase the old file, create a new, and install Ubuntu in your VM. [21:19] antonio_: so you should try avconv -i DVD01BSH\ \-\ Chapter\ %d_NEW.MP4 NAMEOFOUTPUT.mp4 [21:19] bekks: why, when I choose erase everything on root HDD, it picks the whole disk I think [21:19] zhan_: No. [21:19] bekks: I can't format it into ext 4 from windows [21:19] zhan_: Either you are dealing with a virtual disk file OR you are dealing with a raw VMDK. [21:20] virtual disk file [21:20] Then forget everything like "root HDD, etc." [21:20] apparently its happening [21:20] im still alive [21:20] zhan_: The VM access that virtual disk file ONLY. It doesnt even know there are other physical disks. [21:21] *accesses [21:21] yes but I'm running the installer [21:21] zege2: Its still not working. Returns this error: DVD01BSH - Chapter %d_NEW.MP4: No such file or directory [21:21] zhan_: Whatever you are running inside the VM, your VM does not see anything else but that virtual disk file. [21:23] bekks I thinnk you may be right, can i format the HDD from virtual machine tools [21:23] the real hdd? or the virtual hdd inside the vm? [21:23] zhan_: lets stick to this naming convention: "the HDD" refers to your physical disk, "the disk file" refers to the virtual disk file. [21:23] k1l: real HD [21:24] zhan_: No. [21:24] zhan_: your VM has no clue about physical disks.

[21:25] zhan_: That sentence makes absolutely no sense to me. [21:25] i'm gonna rewrite my message as one big message... [21:26] bekks: with fx 8350, shouldn't the VM run smoothly without lagging if I install VM pacakges inside ubuntu and partition for vm disk [21:26] k1l: I lost my usb [21:26] that would have been a good idea in the first place ;P [21:26] zhan_: that is no reason for this whole virtual confusion you are doing there [21:26] i am having trouble with a twitch chatty app... its a jar file... whenever its supposed to play a sound i get an error message and there is no sound... i had to move the "sounds" folder... and before i moved the "sounds " folder i didnt get an error message or have any sounds either [21:27] antonio_: %d is being replaced by 0,1,2,3,...,9 and %02d with 00,01,02,03,...,09,10,11,... [21:27] k1l: im totally broke and lazy [21:27] didn't work...argh [21:27] zhan_: That has nothing to do with using a vm or with installing Ubuntu on your real hardware.

[23:06] i would check your wireless adapter settins and see if what the settings are for ipv4/6 are [23:06] What would the command be to give the user I am logged in with in Ubuntu desktop write permissions for /home/otheruser/allotherfolders? Thanks in advance! Sorry to ask again! [23:07] !chmod | Mr_B [23:07] Mr_B: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [23:07] sudo -R 775(i think) /pat/to/folder [23:07] Mr_B, chmod lets you change the permissions on a file [23:07] skittishtrigger: All is set to automatic. I'm getting 3 IPv6 /64 ranges, which looks fine [23:07] oops suod chmod -R path/to/folder [23:07] (One local, two global) [23:08] Hmmm... [23:08] Okay, I am unfamiliar with Chmod actually xD lol [23:08] Mr_B, you can use flags like chmod -R o+rwx /target/path/here will add read write and execute [23:08] wafflejok solution is better [23:08] Mr_B, checkout man chmod, or just google about common chmod commands to get a feel for how it works, it's not too bad though [23:08] his^ [23:08] i'm doing a knowledge base search for sudo. will idle a few and followup as necessary [23:08] thanks fellas [23:09] Okay cool :) I'll try! [23:09] Thanks a lot Skittishtrigger and WaffleJock! [23:09] Mind if I bug you again if things go sour? :P lol [23:09] Mr_B, np let us know once you check it out if you have a more specific question [23:09] hola [23:09] Okay thanks a lot! :) [23:09] Timvd I am not sure then. To start troubleshooting I'd look at all changes made at the time the problem started. [23:10] skittishtrigger: No manual changes in any case, only updates maybe [23:12] Timvde, you might want to try playing with nslookup to see if the nameserver resolution is taking a while or if that's not a problem, sometimes manually adding in some nameserver listings to use Google's DNS instead of getting one through the gateway/router can be helpful [23:12] Would'nt be the first time a update foobar'd something. Passed the basic issues I have dealt with I'm lost after that. Re-installing current drivers (might need new ones with update) for wireless card would be my next step [23:13] Timvde, I had some weird problem in a vagrant/virtual box instance recently where the IPv6 DNS was trying and failing and it was delaying moving to IPv4 by like 5 seconds for every request cause it was waiting for the IPv6 DNS to timeout [23:13] I'm installing Ubuntu 14.10 to an Asus Zenbook with its two SSDs set up as RAID in the BIOS. I've set up my partitions fine on the/dev/mapper/blah_ASUS device, but I'm flummoxed by "Device for bootloader installation" [23:14] WaffleJock, what you had suggested worked flawlessly! (sudo chmod -R /path/to/dir) [23:14] Thanks again! [23:14] anyone familiar with the syntax (in bash script) to su username --password run_this with no prompt for password [23:14] Mr_B, cool np use that with caution too since you know you don't want to change the permissions on things outside of home without care [23:14] /60/40 [23:14] the Intarwub says "Install GRUB to your Linux partition", "install grub to the root of RAID", "create a small bootable GRUB partition and do not make it part of the RAID device"... Too many opinions :) [23:14] I am running a bunch of servers locally... its so much easier to have write privs instead of local ftp everything lol... [23:14] spagewmf: It doesnt matter which you choose. [23:15] rypervenche: it certainly does! install to sda (the default) and it won't get out of initrd. [23:15] spagewmf: I personally install grub to both drives in case I have to replace one later. [23:15] Mr_B, yeah you may want to check out the scp command too it works like cp (copy) but across SSH so can securely transfer files without too much setup (just need SSH server running) [23:15] ^^ Right! Wafflejock, I don't necessarily **need** execute though do I? I mean, just to edit files in certain folders within these 'servers'? [23:16] Mr_B, no but it's just a good command to know for stuff that you need to send across the internet, and you don't want to get your permissions set loosely on real production servers that are exposed to the internet since it creates more risk [23:17] spagewmf: Is /boot in your RAID or in a separate partition? [23:17] Definitely! [23:17] Can someone help suggest the proper way to do this, please? I wanna do a segmented setup using libvirt and kvm on an Ubuntu node. On the node, I have an external /27 bound to eth0 (eth0:0, eth0:1, ..). I want the instances segregated at layer 2, so Inst A cannot take IPs from Inst B (can happen on shared bridge if), but can talk to each other. Also want ext IPs able to route to specific internal IPs (probably just simple NAT). Any suggestions? [23:18] rypervenche: I'm not sure (how to check?) but I think everything may be in the RAID; the BIOS set it up, not me. [23:19] spagewmf: ah, you're doing a BIOS RAID, I've never done that before. Sorry. [23:19] how do you use the command to see the ufw report log in the terminal? [23:19] its easy to do from the gui version but I was just wondering [23:19] I feel you there for sure Wafflejock! This isn't a production server and I honestly am just getting acclimated to Ubuntu desktop still, while sorta familiar with Debian and Ubuntu server, at least more familiar than Desktop... lol. This test environment is moving to a dedicated server somewhere once its all setup. [23:19] rypervenche: thanks for trying to help, it's confusing 8-). Several confused ASUS users out there [23:20] How would I go about diagnosing why my Ubuntu machine disconnects from my router every 10 minutes or so? [23:20] Just cant be bothered setting up sftp XD [23:20] oh btw anyone who remembers i got my asus laptop on ubuntu finally and nuked windows totally [23:20] I always use software RAID. I hate being bound to hardware. [23:21] also every once in awhile when i shutdown my laptop this black screen stays up and lines of code come up talking about network manager or something and it keeps trying to shut down, how do you prevent that? [23:21] *desktop i mean [23:21] Mr_B, cool yeah just be careful when you get beyond the tinkering phase, I've messed with sftp before too but really scp works great for my needs and I have SSH running everywhere anyhow [23:21] hasnt ever happened on laptop [23:23] anyone feel like answering my two questions? [23:23] not urgent things but just curious [23:23] kro2488, sort of... don't have a clear answer but [23:24] yeah im assuming the latter question? [23:24] ever have that happen? [23:24] its annoying you have to hold the power button to shut down [23:24] it does it only if the computer has been on for hours [23:24] kro2488, for the shutdown you can check out dmesg maybe after it hangs sometime to see if there's ERRORs in there like dmesg | grep error [23:24] well im a brand spankin new ubuntu user still [23:25] i have no idea what your talking about [23:25] ah okay well you got a terminal up [23:25] lol [23:25] Definitely WaffleJock! Sometimes though its like... you learn something or get interested in learning something, but there is a prerequisite to something else that you should have learned to understand whats going on... for a lack of better words :P I certainly don't know everything, learn something new every day! Especially thanks to places like this where super helpful and friendly people reside. If there is anything that has been ingrai [23:25] ned into my brain... Backups! xD [23:25] Damn that was a long post... sorry :/ [23:25] yeah i can pull one up [23:25] okay its up [23:25] kro2488: as i know ufw logs to syslog, so less /var/log/syslog [23:25] oh [23:25] so type that command? [23:25] Mr_B, heh indeed backup [23:25] kro2488, yup [23:25] ah thanks [23:26] kro2488, there are probably gonna be some "Red herrings" in there that aren't the issue but you can google on whatever pops up and maybe get an idea of what they mean exactly [23:26] omg [23:26] thats alot of text [23:26] Hello guys. I have accidently installed nvidia-current driver on my ubuntu 14.10 which is hosted on VirtualBox. Now i cannot log in. The screen freezes. Basicly the error is that it cannot find device on PCI:0:0:2:0 or something. Or it cannot find dri driver. Here is the log file /var/log/gpu-manager.log http://www.pasteall.org/57235 . What to do? [23:26] kro2488, you do dmesg | grep error ? [23:27] ah no i was tryin out the sys log one [23:27] hold on one sec [23:27] that log is very thorough [23:27] kostex: thats syslog [23:27] wow thanks i need to writ ethat comman somewhere [23:27] command [23:28] kostex: sry, meant kro2488 [23:28] zege: no prob [23:28] ok now doing dmesg prep error [23:28] so i found the manpage for sudo and got an understanding. the issue i'm having is a ./Config command is returning a not found error. i'm under the correct folder [23:28] ok that uhh is that a /? [23:28] Did you people really design a desktop GUI without the ability to easily disable screen blanking/ screensaver?!? === derk0pf is now known as derk0pf|NA [23:29] kro2488, sorry, here's the command: dmesg | grep error [23:29] fighterflight: is ./Config a file or a program? [23:29] it's the makefile process for the unreal ircd [23:29] OpenSorce: lol, right click on the desktop. it's in the settings somewhere under both power options and brightness settings === derk0pf|NA is now known as derk0pf [23:29] kro2488, it's two commands really, it's saying take the system log and search it for the word error [23:30] yeah but is it like [23:30] sudo dmesg/grep error [23:30] or [23:30] kro2488, dmesg gives you the full log, the | passes the output of that as the input for another command, then grep is for searching and you tell it what to search for, in this case "error" [23:30] how do you make the straight up and down line? [23:30] or did you mean it to be a / [23:30] fighterflight: try sudo chmod a+x ./Config && sudo ./Config [23:30] kro2488, it's shift and by the enter key [23:31] Kamuela, no it's not... right clicking gives "Change the desktop Background" and nothing else to do with the screen [23:31] kro2488, the \ key with shift does the | [23:31] kro2488, lucky you don't have my keyboard it has no key labels :P [23:32] zege, you're a genius. thanks [23:32] braille keyboard @wafflejock? lol [23:32] OpenSorce: Click on "All Settings" in the change desktop and background. Then go to brightness [23:32] skittishtrigger, DAS ultimate keybaord [23:32] OpenSorce: then after you change that, power options [23:32] ehh it didnt od anything [23:32] fighterflight: np [23:32] weird [23:32] maybe spaced it wrong? [23:32] Hello guys, i have accidently installed nvidia-current driver on my ubuntu 14.10 (hosted on virtualbox) now i cannot start X (the login manager start btw) Here is the log of /var/log/gpu-manager.log - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10593831/ [23:32] Kamuela, Yep, there it is my bad :-) [23:33] skittishtrigger, I sometimes splurge on silly technology, kro2488 you should be able to just copy/paste this too from the IRC, you can use Shift+Ins to paste in the terminal or middle click usually does it [23:33] Been that kinda day, thanks for the help Kamuela [23:33] i have tryed to install mesa and reconfigure X and xserver-xrog [23:33] omg, awesome keyboard but I would be so lost. lol [23:33] still didnt work even with copy and pate [23:34] paste [23:34] hmm [23:34] kro2488, no error or nothing? [23:34] hey guys... i have a teamspeak server running on my machine, and for whatever reason today it just stopped working. none of us can connect. can anyone help? [23:34] no it didnt runt he command [23:34] just did nothing [23:34] kro2488, it might be there are just no matches for the word error in there [23:34] oh ok [23:34] ok, long enough break. Time to go figure out trying to bypass this user password problem. lol [23:34] dtscode: is autoupdate turned on? [23:35] i did an error report for the shutdown hangup thing though [23:35] for ubuntu? [23:35] dtscode: it could be a new IP addres if the server got restarted [23:35] it shouldnt be. i can still connect over port 80 [23:35] user password problem? [23:36] nope. fresh install [23:36] How would I go about diagnosing why my Ubuntu machine disconnects from my router every 10 minutes or so? [23:36] of ts3 [23:36] kamuela im not sure [23:36] keep asking someone will help [23:36] kro2488, decent suggestion here http://superuser.com/questions/616014/how-to-troubleshoot-hang-during-reboot [23:36] or rather the issue happened, and i reinstalled, and its still happening [23:36] thanks waffle [23:36] kro2488, says to just try turning off your network connection manually before shutdown to see if it's something in the network connections making it hang [23:37] dtscode: can you find the proccess of teamspeak in the otuput of the command: ps ax [23:37] actually, set_killer no i cant [23:37] ill toy with it tomorrow jock [23:37] thanks [23:38] which doesnt make sense since i started it and saw the little prompt for a fresh install come up [23:39] dtscode: maybe its not isntalled as a service. or if its installed as a service its not on [23:39] *daemon* [23:39] set_killer: i take that back. it was running [23:39] hey guys what would cause the launcher on the side, when i click on a flash drive, to say "already mounted at xxxx" [23:40] i set it up as a service, so i expected to see teamspeak in the output, but its ./ts3... [23:40] so yes it is running [23:40] dtscode: okey, so then find in google a proper netstat command where you can find which program listens on which port === rajesh is now known as Guest41534 [23:44] Can someone tell me some reason for using ubuntu ? [23:44] cause its awesome, more efficient, less restricted, more secure, etc, etc [23:45] rambo: your free will to do so. [23:45] sure [23:45] rambo: its open source and it doesnt cost you anything. [23:45] ubuntu is end user friendly with auto config of most everything, including networking. and comes with point and click install for programs [23:45] all that i hear about cannonical sniffing out user data ? [23:46] I am slowly converting all my computers for my whole family to linux (Ubuntu specifically) [23:46] you can opt out of almost everything you send to them [23:46] rambo: yeah, that is the FUD that gets talked when the project gets more and more spread among the users [23:46] anyone have a decent solution for easily restoring a system (not a backup, data is fine)?...i was thinking using etckeeper for keeping the configuration and maybe dpkg --set/get-selections to reinstall packages. I like this for version control of etc, I don't want to clone an entire drive on a schedule, I think vagrant is overkill for a single computer. Any other options for 'single-button' restore? [23:47] why should we prefer ubuntu instead of debian ? [23:47] personal preference [23:48] how much time are you willing to spend on it [23:48] i dont know [23:48] 2 - 4 hours per day [23:48] well, ubuntu focuses more on the mainstream user. before ubuntu no one in the linux world thought about a installer that looks nice and that your mother could use to install. [23:49] Very tru, ubuntu made my transition less scary and opened me desktop-less versions :) [23:50] aaas: Depends, how cpmplex of a system ? Me I only backup personal files and keep a change log of any system files (configs) I cahange. System files are system files are system files. all are on the (RE-)install . :) [23:51] Centos is ubuntu ? [23:51] One reason I don't like to use Win$@#* is that I don't like paying the richest man in the world tribute to use my own computer, nor allowing him, the government, or anyone else to have full access to all data on my computer. [23:51] rambo: Nope. [23:51] k1l: well fedora/rh have had a very nice graphical install for very long. [23:51] How would I go about diagnosing why my Ubuntu machine disconnects from my router every 10 minutes or so? [23:51] Bashing-om: Just for my information - how to you keep track of the files you change? Some pleain text file, with the name and the change? [23:54] Bashing-om so i was doing that but I dont like 1) perpetuating changes to config files (if packages adopt new formats or new features or new configs) so I like to make changes to new stock files if I can help it and 2) having version control is nice because there are many times I cant remember some config that I once had.....but I also want to reinstall the same packages...config files dont do 'backup' this....I don't want a clonned drive or a [23:54] image backup...I will never have a 'fresh' install again if I keep doing that. [23:57] hello [23:57] bekks: Basically, yes . Just a file of which file, where when and why . [23:57] i need help, urgently [23:58] plz plz plz [23:58] admin123: is it life threatening? [23:58] admin123: so plz plz plz start asking your actual question :) [23:58] * jturek gets a CPR mask [23:59] * jturek puts the AED on admin123 [23:59] bekks: no pulse :( [23:59] Seems it wasn't so urgent. :O
