[00:05] <R0SS> hi
[00:07] <R0SS> who's alive?
[00:08] <daftykins> just ask
[00:09] <R0SS> well I'm looking forward to install new OS on my old pentium IV pc for private game hosting
[00:10] <daftykins> that's gonna run terribly
[00:10] <R0SS> and I don't sure is my old pc can handle ubuntu
[00:10] <daftykins> what game do you want to host?
[00:10] <R0SS> its an 2.4Ghz Northwood Cpu
[00:10] <R0SS> Xonotic
[00:11] <daftykins> yes i am familiar with P4s
[00:11] <daftykins> run server and you'll have the best chance
[00:12] <R0SS> well can does ubuntu still got his great package manager?
[00:12] <R0SS> last time i used ubuntu was 9.04
[00:13] <xSolidState> R0SS, you can install ubuntu server, that has apt-get as well...
[00:13] <xSolidState> but youll have to ssh and stuff, you cant do gui by default then
[00:13] <R0SS> well.. so can't i use vnc ?
[00:14] <Hulio> what is a good linux distro?
[00:14] <bekks> R0SS: you can, after installing it.
[00:14] <Hulio> like popularity
[00:14] <bekks> Hulio: Guess the answer, being in an Ubuntu channel.
[00:15] <R0SS> @hulio you know
[00:15] <Hulio> ubuntu i guess lol
[00:15] <Hulio> i've seen fancy looking ubuntu
[00:15] <Hulio> probably xubuntu
[00:16] <Hulio> man, i see more people in ubuntu then fedora :)
[00:17] <bekks> Hulio: Not that surprising, being in the largest channel on the Freenode network.
[00:17] <theme2> I have a problem with apt-get
[00:17] <daftykins> R0SS: you will have a hard time doing anything useful with such an old system, i don't know the game but if it supports running a game server with no graphics - you should go that route and stay pure command line - no GUI.
[00:17] <theme2> "E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened."
[00:18] <bekks> theme2: Whats the entire output, please pastebin it.
[00:18] <theme2> happened after connecting to an unreliable internet connection
[00:18] <theme2> bekks, wait a sec
[00:19] <theme2> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10600447/
[00:19] <theme2> that
[00:19] <theme2> that's after downloading everything properly
[00:20] <bekks> theme2: Thats not the entire output I requested.
[00:20] <theme2> bekks, ok
[00:20] <theme2> bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10600450/
[00:21] <R0SS> daftykins: well the server can run with no gui so...
[00:21] <theme2> not so much infermation there
[00:21] <bekks> theme2: PRetty much information actually :)
[00:21] <theme2> O_o
[00:21] <theme2> such as?
[00:21] <bekks> theme2: remove that broken file and try again.
[00:21] <theme2> what file?
[00:22] <theme2> oh...
[00:22] <ekaj113> hi
[00:22] <R0SS> ekaj113: hi
[00:22] <sarnold> does anyone know how to tell network manager to leave me alone for a few minutes? I'm trying to do some manual networking to play with a new router and NM keeps unsetting the IPs I set and routes I set
[00:23] <toctheyounger> yo
[00:23] <toctheyounger> im having an issue with my webcam
[00:23] <sarnold> I still want NM around, I'll need it eventually no doubt, but I'd like it to go away for a few hours
[00:23] <theme2> bekks, seems like I have more than one corrupted file :(
[00:23] <toctheyounger> dell e6220
[00:23] <ikonia> do the manual networking through network manager
[00:23] <ikonia> trying to fight network manager is a bad idea
[00:23] <toctheyounger> lsusb doesnt show anything
[00:23] <bekks> theme2: because?
[00:23] <toctheyounger> webcam not showing up
[00:23] <toctheyounger> looking for a way to install the integrated camera
[00:23] <theme2> bekks, wait a sec
[00:24] <ekaj113> does anybody know if i can install the server version of ubuntu on a slim playstation 2
[00:24] <sarnold> ikonia: oh! I hadn't thought about using the gui. sigh.
[00:24] <ikonia> ekaj113: no
[00:24] <sarnold> ikonia: thanks mate :)
[00:24] <ikonia> ekaj113: wrong arch
[00:24] <theme2> bekks, retrying reported an error on a different file
[00:24]  * theme2 deletes it
[00:24] <R0SS>  sarnold nope
[00:25] <ekaj113> ikonia: what do you mean by "wrong arch"
[00:25] <toctheyounger> webcam not showing up
[00:25] <toctheyounger> HELP
[00:25] <toctheyounger> i wnat to use this cam
[00:25] <toctheyounger> but it isnt coming up in lsusb
[00:25] <toctheyounger> what so i do
[00:25] <toctheyounger> if the device is not listed
[00:25] <R0SS> toctheyounger: what model?
[00:25] <theme2> third corrupted file :(
[00:25] <ikonia> ekaj113: a.) PS2 is not x86 b.) it's also not supporting other OS's - thats why they killed play station linux
[00:26] <theme2> apt-get update succeeded!
[00:26] <theme2> bekks, thanks
[00:26] <toctheyounger> dell e6220
[00:26] <theme2> I didn't know that those files are deletable
[00:26] <toctheyounger> integrated webcam
[00:26] <toctheyounger> i downloaded cheese and guvcview but both programs say that the camera is undetectable
[00:26] <toctheyounger> looking for an answer
[00:26] <bombo_> hi guys,does anyone know wich one is better:network manager or wicd?
[00:27] <ekaj113> ikonia: do you know something i can do with a playstion 2 besides sell it
[00:27] <ikonia> ekaj113: no
[00:27] <theme2> ekaj113, play it? :P
[00:28] <theme2> throw it?
[00:28] <toctheyounger> what do think is the issue
[00:28] <FreezingCold> lucid is the oldest system I can expect to see in production right?
[00:28] <toctheyounger> nothing comes up when i enter 'lsusb'
[00:28] <theme2> toctheyounger, check the cables?
[00:29] <bekks> toctheyounger: sudo lsusb
[00:29] <toctheyounger> the webcam is built in
[00:30] <bekks> toctheyounger: Whats the output of "sudo lsusb"?

[00:30] <bekks> !pastebin | toctheyounger
[00:30] <toctheyounger> ok
[00:30] <toctheyounger> np
[00:32] <toctheyounger> whta do you guys think the issue is?
[00:33] <xSolidState> bombo_, it really depends, really. I have a problem currently with wicd because my uni did not have a config tutorial for the wifi on linux. Might be easier to configure on networkmanager
[00:33] <xSolidState> but just try em both
[00:33] <bombo_> xsolid. i am having problems with my conection on nm
[00:34] <crepple> xSolidState wicd seems to have dropped a long way behind network manager lately
[00:35] <bombo_> i will give wicd a try anyway
[00:35] <xSolidState> bombo_, well you could just ask about your problem on here
[00:36] <FreezingCold> bombo_: wicd is *very* slow
[00:36] <bombo_> xsolid.  my isue is a verry slow conection on nm,it takes for ever to conect
[00:36] <Hulio> SHA1 is one way right?
[00:36] <FreezingCold> bombo_: I would suggest using systemd-networkd (with wpa_supplicant for WiFi) or connman
[00:37] <bombo_> freezing.  is it slower than nm?
[00:38] <toctheyounger> idk what to do
[00:38] <toctheyounger> usually i have the answer
[00:44] <pakde> hello everyone
[00:44] <FreezingCold> So this might seem like an odd question, but how can I intentionally downgrade my entire system as lowest version libraries as possible to use with the latest version of a certain package I want?
[00:46] <xSolidState> FreezingCold, what are you trying to do? do you need libwhatever2.x but have libwhatever3.x ?
[00:46] <pakde> !info
[00:46] <FreezingCold> xSolidState: I'm creating a static binary to be somewhat "portable" across various campus computers, and the earlier the library I build in, the better chance I have of it working
[00:46] <FreezingCold> though...
[00:46] <shiyan> hello everyone
[00:46] <FreezingCold> Using lucid with updated packages is probably the only safe way of doing it
[00:47] <FreezingCold> because I could be missing important security updates
[00:47] <xSolidState> FreezingCold, well cant you just bring the libraries with the program? Im not that deep into compiling but you could just compile with that version downloaded manually and ship the .so's, couldnt you?
[00:47] <toctheyounger> can someone help me with this problem
[00:48] <toctheyounger> the webcam
[00:48] <FreezingCold> xSolidState: Yep that's what I am doing. The thing is those libraries reference "common" libraries, which sometimes get changed over time.
[00:48] <xSolidState> toctheyounger, your webcam might not even be connected via usb. Check lspci or something and see if it shows up there. use | and grep with lspci tho
[00:48] <toctheyounger> dog
[00:48] <toctheyounger> the camera is built in
[00:48] <toctheyounger> lsmod
[00:48] <FreezingCold> xSolidState: Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't be supporting distros older than Lucid
[00:49] <toctheyounger> didnt have anything
[00:49] <toctheyounger> lsusb didnt either
[00:49] <yeowza_> Whenever I compile with gcc I have to type out all of the libraries I use and when I'm debugging / testing it gets really tiresome.  Is there an easier way to include libraries?
[00:49] <xSolidState> toctheyounger, you can just write multiple sentences in one message.
[00:49] <toctheyounger> as long as i find answers
[00:49] <FreezingCold> yeowza_: what language is this even in?
[00:49] <yeowza_> C
[00:50] <FreezingCold> yeowza_: look into how cmake works.
[00:50] <yeowza_> ok thx man
[00:50] <toctheyounger> is there any way to turn the camera on?
[00:50] <xSolidState> toctheyounger, read my message to you again. it might be a pci device or something. a builtin camera doesnt have to connect via usb, does it?
[00:51] <toctheyounger> what is the file path that i need to check
[00:51] <toctheyounger> absolute
[00:51] <xSolidState> toctheyounger, try the lspci command. as i said
[00:51] <xSolidState> and dont paste the output in here or the mods are gonna kill you, use pastebin
[00:52] <toctheyounger> k
[00:53] <toctheyounger> I dont think that any of those are the webcam
[00:54] <shiyan> I am a novice, and Adobe Flash player in Firefox always crash, especially the Web game, how to solve thanks
[00:54] <zerowaitstate> shiyan: first, you must find an error message, then you must post it to pastebin
[00:55] <zerowaitstate> shiyan: then you must articulate the steps you took before the crash
[00:55] <zerowaitstate> shiyan: then you must offer to buy pizza and beer
[00:57] <shiyan> Thanks I will try it
[00:57] <romps> Hello all!
[00:57] <romps> Anyone have any ideas on how I can get my ubuntu network connection + VPN to automatically reconnect?
[00:59] <zerowaitstate> shiyan: I recommend checking /var/log/syslog if all else fails
[01:06] <martin__> hola a todos/as :)
[01:13] <leonlemouton> romps : http://askubuntu.com/questions/328823/vpn-autoconnect
[01:17] <xjkx> I think some hidden application changes my local ip, how do I set to always have xxx.105 ?
[01:19] <toctheyounger> i dont xsolidstate think that it is there either
[01:22] <leonlemouton> xjkx: http://www.sudo-juice.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-in-ubuntu-the-proper-way/
[01:23] <xjkx> will read thanks
[01:33] <netameta> whats the command to see current rout ?
[01:33] <netameta> or current path
[01:34] <Ben64> netameta: "route" or "pwd"
[01:34] <FreezingCold> uh, what's the expected output of debootstrap stage 2?
[01:34] <netameta> Thanks
[01:35] <FreezingCold> I: Installing core packages...
[01:35] <FreezingCold> and quit
[01:35] <tomreyn> maybe disk full?
[01:36] <hsnmck> Hi, my vps is running Ubuntu 11.04. What is the safest way to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 without loosing files or breaking things? thanks
[01:37] <tomreyn> create backup, then reinstall, then restore backup. or: create backup, upgrade to 12.04, then upgrade to 14.04.
[01:39] <tomreyn> if it ran with (unsupported for years) 11.04 for a while it may well be compromised, so be careful what you backup/restore
[01:40] <FreezingCold> root@misalliances:~# ls
[01:40] <FreezingCold> bash: ls: command not found
[01:40] <tomreyn> FreezingCold: what are you running there?
[01:40] <FreezingCold> ....Ubuntu?
[01:41] <tomreyn> well a working ubuntu installation would provide the "ls" command
[01:41] <anakimluke> Hey guys. Is there a channel for Ubuntu Phone discussion?
[01:41] <FreezingCold> tomreyn: no duh.
[01:41] <FreezingCold> it's created by deboostrap
[01:42] <hsnmck> tomreyn, thanks
[01:42] <FreezingCold> ah, seems that my path is screwed up
[01:42] <tomreyn> ls is a builtin, shouldn't require path to be set correctly
[01:42] <nih0> FreezingCold: /bin/ls
[01:42] <tomreyn> hsnmck: welcome
[01:42] <FreezingCold> nih0: [23:11:19] <FreezingCold> ah, seems that my path is screwed up
[01:42] <tommy_blair> hey, my brother just installed ubuntu and is making me try irc
[01:43] <seba_> hello
[01:43] <seba_> somebody can read me  ?
[01:44] <FreezingCold> No.
[01:44] <seba_> great
[01:44] <seba_> i like to talk to nobody
[01:45] <tomreyn> he doesn't appear to be around currently
[01:45] <FreezingCold> Is there any Ubuntu chroot tarballs ready to use?
[01:45] <tomreyn> welcome to irc, tommy_blair
[01:45] <tomreyn> seba_, too ;)
[01:46] <tomreyn> FreezingCold: looks like i was wrong about 'ls' being a builtin, apologies.
[01:47] <seba_> im a begginer in linux, but i love it
[01:47] <tomreyn> well not a bash built-in, it is present in busybox.
[01:47] <seba_> i have 6 diferent OS in diferent computeers, and i bought a firefox os mobile phone
[01:47] <seba_> it's greta
[01:47] <seba_> great
[01:50] <seba_> any beauty girl who love linux, please talk to me in pv.
[01:54] <MrEikono> hey everyone
[01:54] <tomreyn> hello web chat user
[01:54] <MrEikono> hello
[01:55] <MrEikono> really new to Ubuntu but I'm here because I want to be
[01:55] <MrEikono> welcome guys
[01:55] <MrEikono> anyway, my really good friend who's super good with computers and stuff introduced me to Ubuntu, so I have all the files installed on a flash drive right now (but not actually Ubuntu)
[01:56] <MrEikono> sorry for long message, but that's why I'm here :)
[01:56]  * haza-w waves to MrEikono
[01:56] <MrEikono> hi
[01:56]  * MrEikono waves to haza
[02:04]  * MrEikono sits quietly
[02:07] <SchrodingersScat> MrEikono: so how far along are you?
[02:07] <MrEikono> not very far at all
[02:07] <MrEikono> I got the UUI done, so I have all the files on the drive I need
[02:07] <MrEikono> but I haven't run "wubi" to install Ubuntu
[02:07] <SchrodingersScat> oh my, that's your plan?
[02:08] <MrEikono> yeah why
[02:08] <rypervenche> I would not use Wubi, it is not a real installation.
[02:09] <MrEikono> wubi.exe, not an installation huh?
[02:09] <MrEikono> installed with the UUI but it's not an installation?
[02:09] <MrEikono> What then?
[02:10] <rypervenche> If you want to keep Windows on your machine, I would recommend dual booting.
[02:14] <MrEikono> back
[02:14] <MrEikono> yup my friend who got me into Ubuntu today suggested that rypervenche
[02:14] <MrEikono> dual booting
[02:14] <MrEikono> part Windows, part Linux yup
[02:15] <rypervenche> That would be best.^^
[02:15] <tomreyn> !dualboot | rypervenche
[02:15] <yeowza_> hello, if I'm compiling a C program and I want to use a library do I have to add the library files in the same directory as the program?
[02:16] <yeowza_> I'm trying to use libusb but it cannot find the files
[02:16] <MrEikono> I think my friend knows everything
[02:16] <MrEikono> he said he's been using Ubuntu for like 5 years
[02:16] <MrEikono> but I'll bookmark that
[02:17] <SchrodingersScat> yeowza_: did you install libusb-dev ?
[02:17] <yeowza_> yep
[02:17] <yeowza_> I tried compiling with gcc -o test test.c -lusb also but it is same thing
[02:18] <yeowza_> I'm guessing I need to copy the library files into same directory as program?
[02:21] <tomreyn> yeowza_: would you like to discuss why you're trying to build libusb yourself?
[02:22] <yeowza_> tomreyn: I'm not sure, all I want to do is use it so I #include <libusb.h> but maybe I'm not linking it correctly?
[02:22] <tomreyn> and, if so, are you building it from a source package (deb), or the upstream one (and if so, which verison)?
[02:22] <seba_> any beauty girl who love linux, please talk to me in pv.
[02:23] <Ben64> seba_: please don't use this channel for that
[02:23] <SchrodingersScat> !guidelines | seba, also !pm,
[02:24] <tomreyn> yeowza_: so you're trying to link against libusb.h, not trying to build libusb itself. those are quite different things.
[02:24] <vexn> what's the difference between doing apt-get dist-upgrade and doing apt-get upgrade;;apt-get autoclean ?
[02:25] <rnose> the same as the difference between jam and jelly.  I can't JELLY my dick up your ass!
[02:25] <rnose> HAHAHAHAHA
[02:25]  * rnose slaps her pussy for FREEDOM!
[02:26] <rnose> CHOLBY RULES SUCK MY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
[02:26] <rnose> OMGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD
[02:26]  * rnose slaps her pussy for FREEDOM!
[02:26] <rnose> CHOLBY RULES SUCK MY DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
[02:26] <aeon-ltd> classy.
[02:26] <SchrodingersScat> vexn: can check out man apt-get, it lists the commands.
[02:27] <vexn> ok does man work for all commands?
[02:27] <tomreyn> that's: man apt-get
[02:27] <SchrodingersScat> many
[02:27] <tomreyn> (type q to exit)
[02:27] <vexn> ok i thought man was just for some commands but it's standardized?
[02:28] <tomreyn> its a standard which many softwares adhere to
[02:29] <vexn> so not required but usually man + commandName = instructions on how to use it?
[02:29] <tomreyn> most of the time, give it a try.
[02:32] <MrEikono> well uh I'll be back tomorrow, by then I'll probably have Ubuntu installed
[02:32] <MrEikono> bye guys, wish me luck
[02:32] <swagadelathorsh> How can I have Ubuntu boot in to the command line logon screen, without any X at all.
[02:32] <swagadelathorsh> And then when I want the Unity logon screen I can type some command.
[02:33]  * LolBird slaps her pussy for FREEDOM!
[02:34] <tomreyn> swagadelathorsh: you could uninstall any graphical login daemons
[02:35] <swagadelathorsh> I don't want to uninstall them
[02:35] <swagadelathorsh> I think it has something to do with Grub
[02:35] <SchrodingersScat> !text | swagadelathorsh
[02:37] <swagadelathorsh> SchrodingersScat: Thanks, that did it.
[02:37] <swagadelathorsh> What is the command to start up the unity login?
[02:37] <SchrodingersScat> swagadelathorsh: great, idk how to start unity from there
[02:37] <swagadelathorsh> startx
[02:37] <swagadelathorsh> did it
[02:37] <swagadelathorsh> thanks very much
[02:37] <SchrodingersScat> have fun
[02:38] <swagadelathorsh> actually it's 'sudo service lightdm start'
[02:39] <swagadelathorsh> startx doesn't start everything properly and leaves you with a broken desktop
[02:49] <rocktumbler> hello all!
[02:50] <firefoxvt> hi :D
[02:50] <firefoxvt> I typed alias projx='cd /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/tudienit/public/'
[02:50] <firefoxvt> but I type cd projx
[02:50] <firefoxvt> it's show No such file or directory
[02:51] <firefoxvt> somebody tell me why, thank you very much
[02:53] <Mr_Sheesh> Oh boy. Fun here... Fresh install on a laptop I just got used; 14.04.2 just installed, giving me KernelOops in linux-image-3.16.0-30-generic 3.16.0-30.40-14.04.1
[02:53] <SchrodingersScat> firefoxvt: if you made it an alias, wouldn't you just type projx instead of cd projx ?
[02:53] <tomreyn> firefoxvt: you're trying to use alias as a variable, but it's m,eant to be used as a command
[02:54] <rocktumbler> quick simple question i am tring to auto mount a nas storage device under guest i have edited the fstab file but it is not mounting and i have a feeling its because of a space in the mount folder (192.168.0.190/public disk) i have tried backslash method and quots
[02:54] <Mr_Sheesh> @ include/net/cfg80211.h:3343 hmm might be a bad 802.11 card; using wired ethernet
[02:55] <rocktumbler> this is what i have added to fstab /192.168.0.190/public\ disk  /media/190  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
[02:55] <daftykins> rocktumbler: don't use a space. at all.
[02:55] <rocktumbler> but i daftykins: cannot change the folder
[02:55] <rocktumbler> oop
[02:55] <tomreyn> Mr_Sheesh: right, get an updated firmware for your wireless (using wired ethernet), then reboot and retry. if it still won't work, you may need to try an updated kernel
[02:55] <daftykins> rocktumbler: of course you can
[02:56] <firefoxvt> @tomreyn: I dont understand tom, can you fix it for me. I thank you.
[02:56] <daftykins> rocktumbler: also it's //IP - double slash
[02:57] <rocktumbler> daftykins: yes i know that it just didnt copy the first slash... but the nas i have is a linksys nas and that folder is preconfigured and cant be changed or new ones created
[02:57] <rocktumbler> only what is inside that folder
[02:57] <Mr_Sheesh> tomreyn - for all I know the wireless card's dead or not there, working on 3 systems as some hardware died on me -mutters- I'll check; I know the other one has BT & 802.11, wasn't sure on this one; Usual tools CD I use is missing
[02:57] <tomreyn> firefoxvt: try this: projx='cd /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/tudienit/public/'; $projx
[02:58] <daftykins> rocktumbler: so share another :)
[02:58] <SchrodingersScat> do you need a : between address and disk? or is that just rsync, etc?
[02:58] <Ben64> rocktumbler: use //192.168.0.190/public\040disk
[02:59] <rocktumbler> Ben64: Thank you
[03:00] <rocktumbler> Ben64: i hate spaces on nas root folders i also have a goflex nas but im getting up a rom location for emulationstation
[03:00] <Ben64> i hate spaces in almost any folder
[03:00] <rocktumbler> me too :P
[03:00] <daftykins> causes nothing but headaches
[03:00] <daftykins> as does mixed case :>
[03:00] <rocktumbler> they are not needed i just put a capital letter
[03:01] <tomreyn> eek octal
[03:02] <firefoxvt> tomreyn: thank you, but I remembered a course of linux foundation on edx.org use alias projx='cd /.....'
[03:02] <firefoxvt> I just type cd projx to change directory
[03:03] <tomreyn> just "proj" then, no "cd"
[03:03] <tomreyn> just "projx" then, no "cd"
[03:03] <firefoxvt> ahhhh, ok
[03:03] <firefoxvt> Thank you very much tom :D
[03:04] <firefoxvt> tomreyn: and how to remove a alias? Tom
[03:04] <newbooter> Hi all.
[03:05] <leonlemouton> hi
[03:06] <daftykins> firefoxvt: perhaps go do that course again ;)
[03:06] <newbooter> I would like to add a swap partition / file on another HDD. Does it matter if I create a swap partition or a file? If I create a partition, is it sufficient to do that from Gparted? Will the system detect the extra swap partition after reboot and start using it? Or do I need to do more?
[03:07] <firefoxvt> okay, I thank you very much daft and tom
[03:07] <rejit> newbooter: Depending on the workload and the capacity of your RAM , you might not need a swap
[03:08] <newbooter> rejit: It's an older system with 1 GB of RAM...
[03:08] <leonlemouton> newbooter : http://serverfault.com/questions/218122/how-do-i-increase-swap-memory-in-debian
[03:11] <newbooter> Ok leonlemouton, reading that page now
[03:12] <yeowza_> ugh, so after hours of troubleshooting I finally figured out that the header file I really needed with libusb on ubuntu is "usb.h" instead of "libusb.h" as in the official libusb repo, why is ubuntu different?
[03:12] <daftykins> yeowza_: why is not-ubuntu different? :)
[03:13] <yeowza_> I guess ubuntu themselves are using libusb so they included a libusb-dev and changed some stuff around so developers can use it also?
[03:13] <kk0710> guys I am having a heck of a time with my new laptop and LTS install.  I am constantly having to reset my wireless adapter and plugin-conf is maxing out my cpu and freezing all the time?
[03:14] <newbooter> So leonlemouton, there are 3 solutions on that page, you are referring to the one with 9 upvotes? mkswap, add to /fstab, run swapon -a?
[03:16] <newbooter> Do I need to do swapon -a only once, or every time after reboot?
[03:17] <leonlemouton> newbooter and this link : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[03:17] <yeowza_> so I guess the lesson to learn here is to not use the libraries installed by your linux distro and instead download them yourself
[03:18] <newbooter> leonlemouton: yes was looking at that one also via that other page.
[03:19] <trism> yeowza_: there are two libusb packages in ubuntu at least in 14.04, libusb-0.1-4 and libusb-1.0-0, libusb-1.0-0-dev has libusb.h
[03:19] <tomreyn> newbooter: swapon -a activates all swap partitions defined in fstab. it's also run automatically at boot.
[03:20] <newbooter> So ubuntu page say regarding resume: "'INFO: This will not work for 12.04, resume from hibernate work differently in 12.04.'" So that means this part DOES work for versions later than 12.04?
[03:20] <leonlemouton> newbooter :  change /etc/fstab and it's OK.
[03:21] <newbooter> tomreyn: ok runs at boot. Good.
[03:21] <newbooter> Ok
[03:21] <leonlemouton> ;)
[03:21] <tomreyn> hibernate may work on a later version, or not. try with a live usb.
[03:23] <tomreyn> bazhang: hi, do you happen to know who maintains ubottu?
[03:23] <newbooter> So serverfault page has following comment "Even if you use hibernation, you may not need to add the new swap's UUID in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub file." Is that true for version 14.10 that I am on?
[03:23] <SchrodingersScat> !owner | tomreyn
[03:24] <tomreyn> oops thanks
[03:25] <daftykins> newbooter: do it anyway, 'sudo blkid' to read UUIDs of partitions
[03:25] <newbooter>  ok daftykins
[03:27] <nikhil> Heya Daftykins :)/
[03:27] <daftykins> morning
[03:28] <kk0710> guys I am having a heck of a time with my new laptop and LTS install.  I am constantly having to reset my wireless adapter and plugin-conf is maxing out my cpu and freezing all the time? Any ideas?
[03:28] <jkes> My mouse is sticky
[03:29] <daftykins> kk0710: ok i'll bite, what wireless adapter?
[03:30] <tomreyn> kbrosnan: what's plugin-conf?
[03:30] <jkes> I don't know how to troubleshoot this. It works fine if I boot to Windows.
[03:30] <tomreyn> kbrosnan: sorry that was meant to go to kk0710
[03:31] <tomreyn> jkes: is that some special mouse with extra features?
[03:31] <daftykins> jkes: ...sticky? my first thought was unplug it and clean...
[03:32] <nikhil> for what is ubuntu best know for?
[03:32] <jkes> Lol. It lags and sticks onscreen.
[03:32] <tomreyn> jkes: maybe you mean stuck, as in, the pointer won't move no matter what you do
[03:32] <daftykins> nikhil: telling people to stop asking non-support questions in their support channel
[03:32] <daftykins> ;]
[03:32] <jkes> As I move it around the screen it gets jerky
[03:33] <nikhil> Yea got it ;p
[03:33] <tomreyn> try a different usb port.
[03:34] <jkes> I did. I have 4 USB 3.0 on the back of  my case and 2 that will only recognize as 2.0 on the front. I moved the usb receiver around hoping that would help, but nothing
[03:34] <nikhil> daftykins, btw is there a way to change the label of the partition ?
[03:34] <daftykins> 'label' ?
[03:35] <daftykins> 'the partition' ?
[03:35] <nikhil> not the mounting name
[03:35] <kk0710> tomreyn, it is the plug in manager for firefox(I think), that part of the issue has something to do with the adobe flash plugin I believe.  I had this problem on my old laptop too but this is a new one with a fresh install
[03:35] <tomooo> whois tomooo
[03:35] <nikhil> my joshua partition is labelled as 92GB Volume
[03:36] <jkes> I never noticed any problem, then I upgraded to unicorn and installed plex media server. I don't know that I've done anything before I noticed it was getting "sticky"
[03:36] <nikhil> daftykins, I want to change that name also
[03:36] <daftykins> pass
[03:36] <nikhil> ;_;
[03:36] <daftykins> honestly, i don't understand why a name means so much to you
[03:37] <nikhil> Actually I sort my data and keep them in separate partitions
[03:37] <nikhil> like for programming and projects one partition
[03:37] <tomreyn> kk0710: i think you may be referring to plugin-container
[03:38] <daftykins> that's... a new one on me
[03:38] <nikhil> and Designing another
[03:38] <jkes> And, really, Plex was installed for a while before I upped to unicorn. I didn't really notice the issue until after the 14.10
[03:38] <daftykins> bit excessive.
[03:38] <kk0710> yes + not t sorry
[03:38] <nikhil> personal too
[03:38] <tomreyn> kk0710: flash and other bad browser plugins may trigger a high system load for this process. it's safe to kill the process if you don't mind loosing any flash process state.
[03:39] <nikhil> I think the best way is to go to windows and change the name and come back
[03:39] <kk0710> tomreyn, it happens constantly though, is there no fix? it's 50/50 if I can even get through a video without it locking up and havking to kill the process
[03:39] <kk0710> not to mention my wireless problems, I really don't want to have to go back to windows but I am at my limit
[03:40] <tomreyn> kk0710: make sure you've got the latest flash-plugin installed. and don't use flash where possible.
[03:40] <kk0710> everything uses flash
[03:40] <kk0710> and I did a fresh install so assumed it came with the most recent plugin
[03:40] <tomreyn> luckily not these days.
[03:40] <kk0710> Youtube?
[03:41] <tomreyn> is in process to swiitch the default to html5, which has been supported for years
[03:41] <rejit> nikhil: use git to partition your code and project , sort of a pseudo filesystem
[03:42] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[03:42] <tomreyn> hi there
[03:42] <mines5> perchance someone can help me with this: http://oliversmith.io/technology/2012/01/10/streaming-audio-from-ubuntu-linux-to-a-dlna-player-blu-ray-or-ps3/
[03:42] <mines5> it functions for the most part, but I haven't determined how to get my laptop to stream it properly
[03:43] <nikhil> rejit: thanks for the advice :) I'll try that
[03:43] <mines5> I get errors on startup for a couple of things
[03:43] <wallbroken> hi
[03:43] <tomreyn> kk0710: about your mouse, what does "lsusb" list it as?
[03:44] <wallbroken> somebody of you knows how wondershaper works? in the sense of: how system do it uses to throttle speed
[03:44] <ae> hi
[03:44] <wallbroken> *which
[03:44] <Guest16772> I need to know how good is RiseupVPN
[03:44] <tomreyn> kk0710: same goes for your wireless, but in "lspci" output
[03:44] <lotuspsychje> wallbroken: does the manpage show anything usefull?
[03:44] <kk0710> just seems odd ot me the flash plug in is constantly locking up my system
[03:44] <kk0710> 08:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[03:44] <kk0710> in the software center I have a check next to the flash plugin so was assuming that was the most up to date one?
[03:45] <lotuspsychje> Guest16772: thats more a question for the ##networking guys
[03:45] <tomreyn> kk0710: what's your ubuntu version? is it all up to date?
[03:45] <kk0710> tomreyn, I already gave you output from lspci, and why do you care abou tmy mouse?
[03:45] <Guest16772> I wonder which one is better for mac ...opensuse or xubuntu any idea?
[03:45] <kk0710> tomreyn, yes fresh install(like 2 weeks but updated on a brand new hp i3 laptop
[03:46] <tomreyn> kk0710: sorry, i mixed you up with jkes there about that mouse
[03:46] <kk0710> tomreyn, ah ok lol
[03:47] <tomreyn> kk0710: so that's ubuntu 14.10 ?
[03:47] <nikhil> daftykins, Which programming language should I learn to develop software for ubuntu?
[03:47] <kk0710> tomreyn, but yes 14.04 lts all up to date, been happening since day one.  I am dual booting windows 8(which is garbage but just in case) and have check I have had no connectivity problems over there or any issues with flash on firefox
[03:47] <lotuspsychje> nikhil: the #ubuntu-devel guys can also point you to the right direction
[03:48] <nikhil> on my way lotuspsychje :) thanks
[03:48] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: firefox updated recently
[03:48] <rejit> nikhil: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/sdk/
[03:48] <wallbroken> lotuspsychje, looks like: no
[03:49] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, well I have lts wouldn't it be taken care of with updates if it wasn't in the original installer?
[03:49] <tomreyn> kk0710: try a live usb / cdrom of ubuntu 14.10, see if these issues persist. on new hardware, a new linux version can be mandatory.
[03:49] <lotuspsychje> nikhil: also the #ubuntu-touch guys can always need help on ubuntu touch developing
[03:49] <Guest16772> opensuse or xubuntu on macbook, any idea?
[03:49] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: just help think what could cause a flash freeze, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[03:49] <kk0710> tomreyn, ok that is counterintuitive to what I have always been told before.  LTS was always better for drivers and what not.
[03:50] <tomreyn> kk0710: maybe i can provide better hints if you could tell the exact HP laptop's model number, which is likely printed on a label on the bottom.
[03:50] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I've installed nothing extra I can think of that would cause this and again it has been since day one
[03:50] <newbooter> Using clonezilla for the first time. Preparing to clone a local partition to another local partition. Is it ok if the target partition is larger than the source? Or do they have to be exactly the same size?
[03:50] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: please try a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:51] <kk0710> tomreyn,  hp 15-f018dx
[03:51] <rejit> newbooter: add -k1 option
[03:52] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, it is installing now
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> wallbroken: not sure then mate, never used it before myself
[03:52] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you got the freeze with firefox/flash?
[03:52] <rejit> newbooter: and add -r option as well
[03:52] <newbooter> rejit: add it to clonezilla command in shell you mean?
[03:52] <rejit> newbooter: clonezilla advanced paramaeters
[03:53] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, yes I have two issues, the stupid plugin-con/flash cpu eater and freeze and contantly having to reset my wireless adapter
[03:53] <newbooter> Ok. Those are only accesible from command line? I have been looking at Clonezilla text-based GUI so far.
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: for your realtek, check firmwares on the realtek website for linux, some cards perform better after
[03:54] <kk0710> the plugin-con/flash issue happened on my old laptop with lts as well but not quite as often.  Now it is way more often and I have the adapter issues
[03:54] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: after restricted extras, try firefox from terminal
[03:55] <Nikhil> lotuspsychje, and for general ubuntu chat which channel?
[03:55] <lotuspsychje> !ot | Nikhil
[03:57] <jason__> Are ethernet cards/chips generally better supported in Ubuntu than wireless? I'm having a lot of trouble getting wireless working (though it happens to be working pretty well at the moment).
[03:58] <lotuspsychje> jason__: depends on the chipset really
[03:58] <lotuspsychje> jason__: wich one did you have?
[03:58] <kk0710> this package is taking foreva
[03:59] <jason__> Which wireless?
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> jason__: yes chipset and driver?
[03:59] <jkes> Sorry if I missed anything. Went from the command line Pidgin to the pidgin app. Anywho, how can I troubleshoot my mouse? My PC's pretty decent. i7 3770 3.5GHz / 32G ram / GForce 660ti+. I rarely go above 3% of my processor unless I'm gaming. I never tap my swap file. Everything was going fine until I upped to unicorn. the only process' I have running are docky, plex, and a couple of monitors (open windows icon, cpu monitor, etc (about 5 of t
[04:00] <jason__> It's a qualcomm atheros AR9462. The driver is ath9k and the driverversion is "3.16.0-31-generic"
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> jkes: if you want more stable use 14.04.2
[04:00] <jason__> There's a lot of info out there for troubleshooting that chip but none if it has done anything for me.
[04:00] <jkes> how can I downgrade from unicorn to that?
[04:00] <lotuspsychje> jason__: yes, atheros is not the best chipset on ubuntu, but switching firmwares can be usefull
[04:01] <jkes> I didn't know they had xx.xx.x releases
[04:01] <lotuspsychje> jkes: you cant switch from high to lower, a fresh clean install is reccomended
[04:01] <jason__> lotuspsychje, do what now?
[04:01] <jkes> *shoots self*
[04:01] <lotuspsychje> jason__: you said your card performs pretty decent now?
[04:01] <jkes> then I HAVE to find a way to make unicorn twerk with my mouse
[04:02] <jason__> It just happens to be working pretty well at the moment
[04:02] <jason__> It will undoubtedly crap out any minute
[04:02] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, their site is not exactly intuitive but I do not think there is a driver
[04:02] <jkes> I can't imaging they'd give a release a name if it didn't even have generic mouse support reliably
[04:02] <lotuspsychje> jkes: 14.04 is supported till 2020, it takes only halfhour to install :p
[04:02] <lotuspsychje> jkes: if you want reliable mate, choose LTS
[04:02] <daftykins> 14.04.2 comes with the hardware enablement stack of 14.10
[04:02] <jkes> but in a half hour I could do sooo many more important things... XD
[04:03] <daftykins> (kernel and Xorg)
[04:03] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I thought LTS only supported for 5 years?
[04:03] <kk0710> we have a new lts coming soon in fact don't we
[04:03] <daftykins> yeah it's 2019.
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: and we are now 2015
[04:03] <jason__> lotuspsychje, I was considering just buying a wireless router to use as a bridge and plugging my computer into it via ethernet.
[04:03] <kk0710> 14.04 came out last year
[04:03] <daftykins> lotuspsychje: and 14.04 came out in 2014 :D
[04:03] <jkes> 04 of 14, oddly enough
[04:03] <lotuspsychje> jason__: eth connection is always a good idea
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> yep 2019 it is
[04:04] <jason__> lotuspsychje, so my question is are ethernet chips pretty much universally supported? It's an Intel I217-V
[04:04] <lotuspsychje> jason__: intel should be pretty decent support
[04:05] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, so I got a package configuration thing coming up in my termanal for an EULA to use microsoft software and I can't do anything with it
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: use the TAB to say yes
[04:05] <jkes> Seriously, though, I can't imaging that reverting to .04 is the only fix for a laggy mouse. Like I mentioned, I can't imagine they'd make a full (even beta) release if it didn't have basic logitech mouse support
[04:05] <kk0710> its not even loading all the text
[04:05] <kk0710> ahh got it though
[04:05] <kk0710> tab still worked despite no text lol
[04:05] <lotuspsychje> jkes: laggy mouse could be another problem then mouse itself also
[04:06] <jkes> lotuspsychje: that's what I was thinking
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: sounds like your system is old, taking so long installing restricted extras
[04:06] <kk0710> ok now I didn't know they had multiple versions of LTS releases
[04:06] <lotuspsychje> jkes: you install the grafix driver correctly?
[04:06] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, it is a brand new laptop, i3
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> lts | kk0710
[04:07] <jkes> I think so.. I mean, I can always re-install it and see, I guess, but, I had to update to the latest Nvidia drivers to get conky working, so I assume they're right
[04:07] <lotuspsychje> jkes: can you check additional drivers?
[04:07] <kk0710> I don't know what you are trying to communicate
[04:07] <kk0710> ok looks like it is done
[04:08] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: k, try firefox from terminal and youtube something now
[04:08] <jkes> lotuspsychje: how would I do that?   (and why did I not assume that tab wouldn't autocomplete in here?)
[04:08] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, well unfortunately even if it works it doesn't mean it worked
[04:08] <kk0710> but hold on let me save what I have now and try it
[04:08] <newbooter> rejit: reading through clonezilla command line options now. Is there a combination of parameters to clone a local partition to unallocated free space on the same disk?
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> !tab | jkes
[04:09] <lotuspsychje> jkes: additional drivers is an icon (hardware) in your start button
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> !lts | kk0710
[04:10] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I am already aware of that information
[04:10] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you asked if there are different lts versions
[04:10] <kk0710> what I wasn't aware of was that there are 3 versions of 14.04 and with each version a new 5 year support date
[04:11] <kk0710> I told you I knew it was 5 years? lol
[04:11] <keltim> main is all the same for most all of them I think
[04:11] <allstarsnorks2> weird. Xubuntu 15.04's Software Center isn't opening.
[04:12] <keltim> what's painful is there is a lot of popular server apps in universe
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> jkes: also try to check the syslogs, to see whats happening to mouse
[04:12] <lotuspsychje> allstarsnorks2: plz join #ubuntu+1 for vivid support
[04:12] <kk0710> ok so far so good
[04:13] <kk0710> hopefully it holds, but I gotta figure out the wireless issue too
[04:13] <kk0710> I'm surprised I have lasted this long without having to reset
[04:13] <kk0710> ohhh lotuspsychje I think it worked because now animated gifs are working too
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> !realtek | kk0710
[04:14] <lotuspsychje> !yay | kk0710
[04:14] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I assume starting with binary through terminal was just a one time thing?  Also mind educating me on exactly what the problem was and why that package fixed it?  Also if that package is important why it isn't a default install?
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: at install, you were asked to install codecs/updates etc
[04:15] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: i would reccomend to install that, with internet connection during setup
[04:15] <kk0710> the only thing I was asked to isntall was 3rd party software
[04:16] <kk0710> is that what you are referencing?
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: what you did now is installing those extras, with codecs and flash n such
[04:16] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: yes
[04:16] <kk0710> ahh, I bet I did that last time too because I hadn't had wireless at the time, this time I had asked in here if I should do it or not and others  seemed to think it didn't matter, now I know
[04:16] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, any chance this will have an yimpact on my wireless as well or completely separate issues/
[04:17] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: could be yes, as connected with a cable ubuntu would search latest wifi drivers also
[04:17] <kk0710> it won't if it is connected wirelessly?
[04:18] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: if its already connected on wifi, it would also update to latest, if you choose so during setup
[04:18] <jkes> ubottu: I knew that about the command line, not about IRC. I don't know why I didn't assume it would also work in IRC.
[04:19] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I was given no options during install.  it just said 91 new packaes 1 removed and 10 not upgraded
[04:19] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: your system was an upgrade? from wich to wich?
[04:20] <dsyntax> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
[04:20] <dsyntax> :D
[04:20] <kk0710> I don't understand the question
[04:20] <newbooter> Reading through clonezilla command line options. Is there a combination of clonezilla parameters to clone a local partition to unallocated free space on the same disk?
[04:20] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: did you install ubuntu fresh, or did you upgrade from another version?
[04:21] <jkes> lotuspsychje: THe only thing that shows up in "additional drivers" is a selection of Nvidia drivers, of which I am using the most current
[04:21] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, fresh install, always fresh install
[04:21] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: ok good then
[04:21] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, sorry I forget you are dealing with others and might not remember everything I say.  I thought you were asking me about the info given to me when I ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> jkes: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg and fool around with mouse a bit for errors
[04:22] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I guess wehre I am at now is, is there a way to see if it updated the wireless driver?  I am not sure if I am just having a long streak of stability right now or if it fixed it
[04:22] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: i pasted you the url to the realtek drivers
[04:23] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you can try a few things there to make it work better
[04:23] <jkes> lotuspsychje: K. Hold on, let me fend off this tired baby and take another shot. THen, and only then, will I be prepared for multi /'s
[04:23] <kk0710> a
[04:24] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I do have a differen tmodel than what this was written for, if that matters in this case.
[04:25] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: if your not happy with current wifi performance, you should try to install another driver or firmware for your specific card
[04:26] <kk0710> yah I think t his is outdated it goes back to version 9.10 and even says that the adapter works out of the box
[04:26] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: what kind of wifi issues are you experiencing exactly?
[04:27] <crlcan81> I am curious if anyone here knows any other lightweight system monitors like conky? It's not been suported since 2013 so I was hoping to find one similar, but sadly my web searches only brink up various desklets and screenlets, which are gui driven.
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> crlcan81: i like multiload-indicator, pretty lightweight but no eye candy like conky
[04:28] <crlcan81> multiload-indicator? what exactly does it do?
[04:28] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, randomly I just couldn't connect to pages, it would just keep spinning, nothing would happen with a ping, sometimes if I waited it out it would finally connect and start pinging but usually time out.  I would have to turn off the adapter and turn it back on most of the time.  I reset my router thinking that was the problem but has still been happening.
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> !info multiload-indicator | crlcan81
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[04:28] <crlcan81> maybe no longer supported either?
[04:28] <lotuspsychje> !info indicator-multiload
[04:29] <crlcan81> will it work in non-unity enviroments?
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> crlcan81: no, it uses unity's indicator system
[04:29] <rejit> !info pineapple
[04:29] <crlcan81> :(
[04:29] <rejit> :P
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> crlcan81: whats your desktop?
[04:30] <crlcan81> Cairo Dock, because it's not as resource intensive as Unity.
[04:30] <crlcan81> by a hares breadth, but still.
[04:30] <crlcan81> I can't use the various lightweight ones because i get weird font issues with the ones like xfce and lxde after a while.
[04:30] <crlcan81> and I couldn't figure out how to activate a resource light toolbar/taskbar on fluxbox
[04:31] <crlcan81> I didn't mind some right click driven menus, but it was nice to have an application launcher or window manager here or there.
[04:31] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I found this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/452315/problems-with-realtek-rtl8188ee-on-14-04 what do you think of answer 2
[04:31] <crlcan81> Guess I'll have to use the gui driven ones that exist within cairo then, I was trying to avoid those ones though and go with text driven because it's resource light.
[04:32] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you can try that, but check sudo lshw -C network first to see your active driver
[04:33] <kk0710> do you want me to paste something from the output?
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> crlcan81: you can browse deviantart for examples on fluxbox monitors perhaps
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: no just whats after driver=
[04:34] <kk0710> driver=rtl8188ee
[04:34] <kk0710> I think I might be up to date
[04:35] <kk0710> driverversion=3.13.0-46-generic
[04:35] <crlcan81> I will admit I enjoy cairo dock/glx dock because it's soo customizable, like to a really bizarre degree, if you know what to look for.
[04:35] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: maybe you should go investigate syslogs and dmesg for your exact wifi issues first
[04:35] <dg25> looking to buy a laptop to run ubuntu 14.04 - mine is about to die. Any suggestions? Needs to be lightweight and portable.
[04:35] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, knowing how to read those is beyond my knowledge.  maybe I should give it a day and see if it happens anymore first
[04:36] <daftykins> crlcan81: even lighter is to not use any at all
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> dg25: whats dying exactly on current laptop?
[04:36] <crlcan81> I know..
[04:36] <kk0710> everything seems to be working ok now
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: sure you can, experimenting yourself is the best way :p
[04:37] <dg25> power doesn't work w/o the cable plugged in. Ubuntu freezes if I close the laptop cover.
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> dg25: maybe a xubuntu will make it have second life?
[04:37] <dg25> also ubuntu is kind of buggy - the software updater keeps getting "stuck" in the launcher. xubuntu is a good idea.
[04:37] <kk0710> what would I even search for in dmesg?
[04:37] <jkes> lotuspsychje: tail -f /var/log/syslog just tells me no such file, and, tail -f /var/log/dmesg just gives me a quiet, docile terminal. Also, for some reason, the problem seems to have temporarily fixed itseslf. I hate computers
[04:37] <kk0710> I did a search for wireless and it just says it is on
[04:37] <dg25> It won't solve the power issues tho
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> dg25: well if you want brand new one, many brands will run 14.04 great
[04:38] <jkes> And did someone say that Cairo Dock uses less resources than Unity? Doesn't Cairo Dock run under unity?
[04:38] <kk0710> and syslogs I am not actually sure how to view
[04:38] <lotuspsychje> dg25: the only thing i would try to avoid are broadcom/atheros wifi chipsets
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: anything related to wifi
[04:39] <kk0710> I have about 3 pages of wlan0 stuff
[04:40] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: check for any error, panic,bug,etc text
[04:40] <kk0710> nothing that sticks out so far
[04:41] <kk0710> link is not ready
[04:41] <kk0710> I think that is on boot though as it takes a second
[04:41] <kk0710> ipv6 though
[04:42] <lotuspsychje> jkes: maybe also check the log icon manually then, see if syslog exist
[04:42] <kk0710> how do I do that?
[04:42] <kk0710> oops not meant for me nvm
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: if you pasteubuntu your syslog, ill have a look at it
[04:44] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I was thinking of doing it but didn't want to bother though if you are volunteering.  I don't THINK anything is there but you are clearly more knowleadgeable than me
[04:44] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10601411/
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[04:45] <kk0710> I just did a dmesg | grep wlan0
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: can you paste full syslog also
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: no real errors, just many connect/disconnecting on your wifi
[04:46] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I am assumoing those are from me doing it manually.  I don't know how far back this log goes though?
[04:47] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, as for syslog, I am not familiar with that command and it doesn't seem to exist?
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: also check the log icon from startbutton for syslog
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> maybe it renamed to syslog.1
[04:48] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I don't understand
[04:48] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, log icon part
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you have a log viewer icon in your prgrams
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: so you can browse them logs
[04:48] <kk0710> ahh I found it graphically
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> yes
[04:49] <kk0710> wasn't sure what you meant by start button though, this isn't windows lotuspsychje! lol
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> yeah my bad :p
[04:49] <kk0710> you want ALL of this?
[04:49] <kk0710> I take it you just want syslog not the other logs
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: sure pasteubuntu
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> yep syslog
[04:50] <kk0710> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10601430/
[04:50] <kk0710> I had a little slow down pasting that, I lost a bar and it took a few seconds.  NOt sure if a symptom or minor hiccup.  I am sitting right in front of my wireless router too.
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: WiFi now disabled by radio killswitch
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you got a hardware wifi button on laptop?
[04:51] <kk0710> yes that is how I reset it
[04:51] <kk0710> it is my 12 key
[04:51] <kk0710> f12*
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: maybe check bios settings for that, like network boot enabled or something
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: wpa_supplicant[1069]: rfkill: WLAN soft blocked
[04:52] <kk0710> what does that mean?
[04:52] <kk0710> I did have a couple of times where it wouldn't let me shut it off right away and I had to wait
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: (wlan0): deactivating device (reason 'none') [0]
[04:54] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: alot of issues in there mate
[04:55] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, alot of times it is me doing that keep in mind
[04:55] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, when it starts taking too lon to load a webpage I will hit the switch
[04:55] <jorgeluis> ¿Cuál es la función de esto?
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> !es | jorgeluis
[04:56] <ZZRMike> I'm trying to install Lubuntu in a VM, but upon booting LXDE the interface turns into a bunch of borked colors and characters. Does anyone know the cause of this?
[04:56] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: maybe try another driver to see what happens
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> ZZRMike: sounds like graphics card issues
[04:57] <lotuspsychje> ZZRMike: you use vmware or virtualbox?
[04:57] <ZZRMike> virtualbox
[04:58] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, well which one should I try?  maybe there is an updated version for the one I have just not sure where to look.  Again things SEEM to be working fine right now though
[04:58] <kk0710> I wondered if it was a side effect of the adobe issues I was having before, trying to load and stream videos
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: well you can tail -f /var/log/syslog alot while your online, to see what happens in the future
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you will see when it happens, on what your doing
[05:00] <kk0710> nothing in the log for the past 5 minutes
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: so far so good then :p
[05:03] <kk0710> im wondering if it was a side effect of not doing the 3rd party stuff
[05:03] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: wifi dropping should not be caused by codecs or flash issues
[05:04] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, didn't you say it would install the wireless driver as well?
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> ZZRMike: maybe this can help mate? http://askubuntu.com/questions/541006/ubuntu-14-10-does-not-install-in-virtualbox
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: no i said, you you choosed to 'updates enabled' during setup it would search for latest drivers
[05:05] <ZZRMike> oh ffs, that did it. Thanks lotuspsychje
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: 3rd party is the codecs part
[05:05] <gr1zzlybe4r> where are all of the Unity config files located? looking to make a script to disable screen lock when running a flash video.
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> ZZRMike: no sweat mate
[05:05] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, ok how do I search for latest drivers now?  So I can make sure I have the latest driver version
[05:05] <gr1zzlybe4r> tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/171143/how-to-prevent-my-screen-from-either-dimming-or-the-screen-lock-starting-when-wa but it doesn't work.
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: well thats the tricky part mate, latest does not always mean better performance
[05:06] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, ahh
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: keep the driver that works best for your personal system
[05:07] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I have never had problems with wireless before on any of my machines running ubuntu so never had to adjust anything
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: me neither on 14.04 + updates +3rd party enabled
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: but some chipsets are a pain, and need some finetuning/driver/firmware
[05:08] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, when are you typically on?  maybe I should just run it and see how things look tomorrow
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: i have european timezone, i would wait and check your syslog tail a bit few days
[05:09] <kk0710> my last log entry just says: wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED
[05:10] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, yah I assumed you were European
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: well only check if your wifi drops, on same time what happens
[05:10] <kk0710> weird how it hasn't happened tonight
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: ubuntu made some magic for you :p
[05:11] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, that is why I was thinking it might have ben the flash issue masquerading as a wifi issue
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: well as i said, wifi should not disconnect on a flash playing
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: maybe your system freezed on high cpu load or something at same time?
[05:13] <kk0710> that is what I was thinking, the cpu load was jacked up too high so it put the wifi at a low priority?  I don't know I am just guessing at this point
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: well lets focus on the future :p
[05:13] <kk0710> I still can't believe I have had the flash problem on two laptops now all because I didn't heck install 3rd party on install
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: try indicator-multiload and preload to install
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: handy stuff to boost and measure your system
[05:15] <kk0710> and of course, thanks for the help.  it is a shame there aren't more like you around here, I typically stop in every couple of days or so(unless it is an emergency) and post my problem toniht was the first that people answered
[05:15] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, what is that exactly?
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> !info preload | kk0710
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: multiload is cpu/mem/hd monitor to see if you have high load n such
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: pretty handy in cases of what you experienced
[05:16] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, well I have psensor
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> also nice
[05:17] <kk0710> but this is an i3 and even at full load it doesn't boost the temp, my old laptops would skyrocket so I didn't even display the load maybe I should add it to the splash
[05:17] <kk0710> typically if I think there is a problem I just use top cuz i am oldschool and only know a few things about linux lol
[05:18] <lotuspsychje> brb coffee
[05:18] <kk0710> ahh the cpu usage I can't view on the launcher that sucks
[05:19] <kk0710> wtf is migration that just showed up out of no where
[05:21] <daftykins> kk0710: whilst wholly enjoyable, this running commentary isn't quite the channels purpose ;)
[05:22] <kk0710> daftykins, hey now, everything has been ubuntu related but I will try and keep myself in check :)
[05:24] <kk0710> Mar 15 01:17:01 Seraph CRON[9260]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
[05:24] <kk0710> what does that mean?
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> !cron | kk0710
[05:28] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, ok, I have only been in here though what did I do to make that happen?
[05:29] <kk0710> oh wait I see it says cron.hourly must be something secheduled hourly lol
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: not everything in your syslog is suspicious, lets focus on real issues in this channel mate
[05:30] <kk0710> I just wanted to know what it was, not all questions have to be about a problem.  I do think we are good for now though on my problems, n o issues with the adapter so far
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: for regulare chitchat questions, better join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: this channel is only for problems
[05:31] <kk0710> fair enough.
[05:40] <vinod777> rejit
[05:45] <rejit> vinod777:  yes
[05:46] <advx_> Hello Good Morning all, have a great sunday...
[05:50] <vinod777> rejit: remember yesterday problem
[05:50] <rejit> vinod777: yeah
[05:51] <vinod777> the maximizing bug, When I toggle snapping windows in ccsm, it corrects auto
[05:51] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I just had an event
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: wich one?
[05:51] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, lost it for a few seconds but it came back, hold on let me grab
[05:52] <vinod777> rejit: the maximizing bug, When I toggle snapping windows in ccsm, it corrects auto
[05:52] <kk0710> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10601685/
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> lets c
[05:52] <rejit> vinod777: yes
[05:52] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I was watching a video it stopped streaming but instead of turning off and on I just held out and a minute or so late things came back.  when I looked at the log that was all there
[05:53] <vinod777> rejit: but it shows again when I restore again
[05:53] <rejit> vinod777: disabling hardware accln solved it right?
[05:54] <vinod777> rejit: disabling hw accel for the application solves it. But I dont want to.
[05:54] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: NetworkManager[868]: <warn> Connection disconnected (reason -4) that doesnt seem right indeed
[05:54] <vinod777> rejit: I think compiz restarts when I toggle Snapping windows which corrects the resize
[05:55] <kk0710> where can we find out what reason -4 is
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: i think perhaps test out new driver, and testout same scenario, playing youtubes and see if it holdsup
[05:55] <kk0710> well that was random, it's not anything specific it is arbitrary when it happens
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: yeah but its not normal to loose wifi connection right
[05:56] <rejit> vinod777: are you running your box on a NVIDIA?
[05:57] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, no it's not but what I am saying is I cannot reproduce that simply by watching youtube videos.
[05:57] <lotuspsychje> right
[05:57] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, as for installing a new driver, I am all for that but will need some guidance there as well.  primarily how to actually get the driver
[05:57] <coderman1> how can i show whats using up all my bandwidth on my server?
[05:57] <kk0710> I did a search on the realtek page and nothing even showed up for that adapter
[05:57] <scott_> ??
[05:58] <vinod777> rejit: AMD graphics
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: not sure wich one exactly, youl have to experience yourself wich ones best
[05:58] <vinod777> rejit: I tested with default opensource driver, fglrx updates and the one in AMD site
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: try the realteks website or google other driver scenario's on askbuntu
[05:59] <kk0710> ok this might not be relevant but my cpu usage is being taken up by plugin-container again
[06:01] <rejit> vinod777: did you update catalyst in the recent time?
[06:01] <vinod777> No, this is a fresh Ubuntu 14,10 install
[06:01] <rejit> vinod777:  What about downgrading catalyst and testing it again
[06:02] <vinod777> rejit : this was from the start
[06:02] <rejit> vinod777:  ubuntu version?
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: what was your graphics card chipset and driver again?
[06:03] <vinod777> 14.10
[06:03] <vinod777> rejit: 14.
[06:03] <kk0710> im actually not sure, but I think it jumped up from me having a video open and paused
[06:03] <vinod777> rejit: 14.10
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: check sudo lshw -C video
[06:05] <kk0710> haswell integrated
[06:05] <kk0710> driver i915
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: ok
[06:05] <lotuspsychje> sounds good
[06:05] <rejit> vinod777: i think proprietary drivers have not been tested completely with 14.10
[06:05] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, back to the adapter, I was going to try the instructions from the second answer on here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/452315/problems-with-realtek-rtl8188ee-on-14-04
[06:06] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you can try that if not perform better, you can always go back
[06:06] <kk0710> what about the first answer, they are similar but different
[06:06] <kk0710> the second guy was more thorough so I trusted his answer more lol
[06:06] <vinod777> rejit: I know, does the opensource one in the additional drivers tested?
[06:07] <rejit> vinod777: did you try purging fglrx
[06:07] <vinod777> rejit: It also shows the problem..
[06:07] <vinod777> rejit: yes
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: both answers have no votes :p so you can try the one works best
[06:07] <kk0710> crap
[06:08] <rejit> vinod777: as I mentioned yday, you can wait patiently for update from the third party .
[06:08] <kk0710> I hope my wifi still works after this as I will have no clue how to undo this if it doesn;t
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: best way is to experiment mate, there's no other way
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: plug your cable in if things go bad
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> !realtek | kk0710 and keep this in favorites by hand
[06:09] <rejit> vinod777: or report a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/
[06:09] <vinod777> rejit: OK
[06:11] <kk0710> we looked at that article already it is pretty outdated and for a different driver so not sure how much I trust it
[06:11] <kk0710> downloading the repository for the other option now though
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: even if its outdated, it shows you howto modprobe and uninstall etc
[06:12] <kk0710> ahh
[06:12] <rejit> vinod777: have you tried other desktop environments
[06:13] <kk0710> compiling now
[06:14] <vinod777> no
[06:15] <vinod777> rejit: not tried
[06:15] <vinod777> rejit: how do I? metacity --replace?
[06:17] <rejit> vinod777: you will have to install gnome/xfce/kde
[06:18] <rejit> vinod777: did you try reverting to unity classic
[06:18] <vinod777> rejit: no how to do that. It seems easy
[06:20] <vinod777> rejit: how about changing the window manager
[06:21] <vinod777> rejit: I will try something and report back
[06:21] <vinod777> rejit: Thanks
[06:21] <coderman1> im noticing a few ssh keys/.pub files in my /etc/ssh...wondering if they are normal?
[06:21] <coderman1> ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub  ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub  ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
[06:22] <coderman1> i did not create any of them
[06:22] <Ben64> openssh created them
[06:25] <coderman1> ok next issue is my auth.log is > 18mb ... should i be worried ive either been hacked or am being hacked?
[06:25] <nano-0day> hey guys
[06:26] <coderman1> there seem to be a ton of entries made by CRON...guessing they are cronjobs that run every minute
[06:26] <nano-0day> wanna use my ubuntu code
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> !info fail2ban | coderman1
[06:26] <Ben64> coderman1: seems strange
[06:26] <coderman1> ive got it installed now
[06:27] <coderman1> but im afraid someone might have already gotten in and done something
[06:27] <coderman1> PAM 2 more authentication failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=115.231.218.131  user=root
[06:27] <Ben64> well check whats in the log
[06:27] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, ok I am back, I was afraid it didn't work at all but a reboot seems to have fixed it, I am pasting data now
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: okay :p
[06:27] <coderman1> i believe that ip is somewhere in china
[06:27] <nano-0day> hey guys We are researcher of crypto, alchemy , computer
[06:27] <AXN> Hey guys, any chance someone could give me a hand with an issue I'm having with installing ubuntu 14.10?
[06:27] <Ben64> coderman1: sure is, you have ssh port open to the public?
[06:27] <coderman1> PAM 2 more authentication failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=183.136.216.6  user=root
[06:27] <nano-0day> We paste Our classified ubuntu for free
[06:27] <nano-0day> https://h4x0rx0.wordpress.com/
[06:27] <Ben64> nano-0day: not on topic here
[06:28] <coderman1> Ben64: yes at the moment
[06:28] <AXN> anyone free for help?
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> !ot | nano-0day
[06:28] <Ben64> coderman1: that explains it
[06:28] <Ben64> AXN: you have to ask your question first
[06:28] <coderman1> Ben64: anyway to see if he ever got in?
[06:28] <nano-0day> come to #nano.hacker if you want to develop it
[06:28] <AXN> Installing Ubuntu 14.10 on MSI GS60 laptop, Ubiquity keeps while installing, any ideas?
[06:29] <nano-0day> all research is there
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> coderman1: rkhunter and clamav can make sure they didnt install rootkits/malware perhaps
[06:29] <Ben64> nano-0day: stop spamming
[06:29] <AXN> keeps crashing while installing*
[06:29] <lotuspsychje> AXN: try 14.04 maybe
[06:29] <AXN> is this a likely issue?
[06:29] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, I mean you probably don't even need to look at it but here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10601814/
[06:30] <AXN> It's mentioning issues with dconf? saying failed to write to dconf (in the ubiquity log)
[06:30] <kk0710> for some reason the driver didn't actually update until after I rebooted
[06:30] <Ben64> coderman1: "sudo grep -i accept /var/log/auth.log" will show you if any password was accepted, but hopefully you didn't enable the root account, which is normally what the bots target, you should be fine
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: i would tail again until wifi is dropping out
[06:30] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: thats normal to reboot first
[06:31] <AXN> lotuspsychje: what you reckon man?
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> AXN: does your setup stop or crash or something? where are you stuck
[06:31] <kk0710> all we can do now is wait and see I guess
[06:31] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: yes :p
[06:31] <kk0710> I had NO Idea how to undo that driver if it didn't work so thank god
[06:31] <kk0710> I almost used my phone to look it up but then said I better restart
[06:31] <coderman1> lotuspsychje: mawk shows a warning
[06:31] <coderman1> in rkhunter
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> coderman1: what kind of warning plz?
[06:32] <angel> anbofy tried angel list api?
[06:32] <AXN> lotuspsychje: so it gets past all the normal stuff, downloading packages etc, then around when the grub loader is getting installed it crashes
[06:32] <coderman1> cant see that yet, still running
[06:32] <Ben64> coderman1: rkhunter isn't really indicative of anything, you need to run it often and compare results
[06:32] <AXN> lotuspsychje: I have fast boot and secure boot turned OFF
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> AXN: that should be good, i would try 14.04 if you cant get it right
[06:33] <coderman1> Ben64: the reason i started looking into this is on march 13th my bandwidth usage went from 10mb/s to 90mb/s
[06:33] <AXN> lotuspsychje: Do you reckon that might be the issue then? This current laptop uses RAID0 SSD's, I'm not sure if I'm meant to do anything with LVM??
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> coderman1: chinese ip smells like chinese botnet hammering you on ssh
[06:34] <AXN> lotuspsychje: if maybe that has something to do with it crashing around grub install?
[06:34] <Ben64> coderman1: so use netstat or wireshark or something
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> !lvm | AXN
[06:34] <lotuspsychje> AXN: not sure mate never did an lvm install myself
[06:35] <AXN> ubottu: Thanks man, but from what I understand, the type of RAID is hardware based, I don't think I need to do anything software wise do I?
[06:35] <AXN> woops<lol
[06:35] <AXN> didnotrealise/10
[06:36] <AXN> lotuspsychje: So what would your recommendation be at this point man? do you think the dconf issue has something to do with 14.10?
[06:37] <lotuspsychje> AXN: note sure what causes this on your system, i would surely test 14.04 to make sure its not a version problem
[06:37] <coderman1> Ben64: is there a command i could run to show a list of processes and the amount of bandwidth they are using?
[06:38] <rypervenche> coderman1: nethogs
[06:39] <AXN> lotuspsychje: kk I'll go from there, recommend to make boot USB from inside LIVE CD or just with tool?
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> coderman1: there are bandwith monitors out there for ubuntu, but as Ben64 sugested wireshark is pretty effective
[06:39] <lotuspsychje> AXN: same way you created 14.10 usb
[06:39] <AXN> kk
[06:40] <AXN> lotuspsychje: thanks fr the help bud
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> AXN: now sweat mate
[06:40] <lotuspsychje> no
[06:42] <dufa> Hey! Is it possible to configure a keyboard so that it is ignored by the operating system, but still readable through a /dev/input/event* file?
[06:43] <taplaptap> when i go to login ubuntu, it throws starts to login, i see the desktop... the sidebar comes in for a second and then it throws me back to the login screen..
[06:44] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, so far so good, nothing freezing but firefox and plugin con seem to keep bumping up the cpu
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: set firefox cache on 0 perhaps
[06:45] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: did yo also install preload ?
[06:45] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, through browser options?
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> yes
[06:46] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, no as we got talking about other thigns I don't even remember what it was
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: sudo apt-get install preload
[06:46] <kk0710> yah so firefox itself is at like 3 percent but plugin is at 66
[06:46] <kk0710> no videos running
[06:46] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: and reboot, its to boost things up
[06:47] <kk0710> lotuspsychje, what does it do?
[06:47] <lotuspsychje> !info preload | kk0710
[06:48] <kk0710> yah you showed that before, but I still dont know what it is.  Specifically what an adaptive readahead daemon does lol
[06:48] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: it reads programs ahead makes them run smoother
[06:48] <kk0710> seems like it would be installed standard then
[06:48] <kk0710> but something needs to stop plugin-con from taking all my cpu
[06:49] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: whats that and addon you installed?
[06:49] <kk0710> no that is what seems to handle all of firefoxes plugins
[06:49] <kk0710> it was what I would have to kill when adobe would lock up firefox
[06:49] <kk0710> now it's not locking up but using cpu
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: you can test chromium for more lightweight browsing, test same youtubes
[06:50] <taplaptap> when i go to login, it succeeds, shows me the desktop and then puts me back at the login prompt after something happens.. (bug?).. how do i debug this
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> anyway im out for now
[06:50] <lotuspsychje> kk0710: laterz and good luck
[06:50] <kk0710> alright thanks
[06:54] <AXN> lotus you still around?
[06:55] <AXN> Need some assistant with Ubuntu install, installing 14.04.2, getting "??? ???" after selecting drive to install to/.
[06:55] <AXN> any ideas?
[06:57] <AXN> any ideas guys???
[06:59] <treelzebub> AXN: you are getting an error that literally shows six question marks?
[07:01] <al_nz1> How do I stop smbd ? I try killing the process but it seems to restart
[07:02] <Ben64> sudo service samba stop
[07:02] <al_nz1> Ben64: thats what I thought - but when I netstat -tulpn - smbd is still there
[07:03] <Ben64> thats the weirdest way of checking if something is running
[07:04] <al_nz1> Ben64: I have another program that is complaining about 445/139 being in use
[07:04] <al_nz1> So I did a netstat to see what is using it
[07:04] <al_nz1> its smb
[07:06] <al_nz1> Ben64: so how would I free up those ports?
[07:11] <s7habo> Hi people. Did someone knows how to completly disable mouse acceleration in ubuntu?
[07:13] <bagginsDK> s7habo: Desktop enviroment?
[07:14] <s7habo> bagginsDK: ubuntu studio xfce.
[07:16] <bagginsDK> I am guessing english translations for this path because i use german. Settings → Mouse and Touchpad → Behaviour
[07:16] <s7habo> I've tryied "xset m 0 0" but it doesn't work well.
[07:17] <s7habo> I'm speak german too :)
[07:17] <ablest1980> hallo
[07:18] <s7habo> hi
[07:19] <bagginsDK> Hast du bei Einstellungen gui konfiguriert?
[07:19] <s7habo> bagginsDK: I know that option but it doesen't disasble acceleration completly.
[07:20] <s7habo> ja
[07:20] <s7habo> habe ich
[07:20] <s7habo> allerdings wird dadurch die Beschleunigung nicht komplett ausgeschaltet.
[07:20] <bagginsDK> s7habo: How did you investigate this?
[07:23] <bagginsDK> s7habo: Ich verstehe. Wo hast du anderes verhalten mit der Maus?
[07:23] <treelzebub> !de | bagginsDK
[07:24] <bagginsDK> I am sorry
[07:24] <s7habo> ok ubottu
[07:24] <s7habo> so...
[07:26] <s7habo> yes i can se value 0,1 on mouse setting window, and when I play games i feel that mouse still have acceleration
[07:27] <bagginsDK> s7habo: Maybe it is a matter of each application. Many of them  overwrite values in input method.
[07:27] <s7habo> aha ok.
[07:27] <s7habo> thx anyway
[07:28] <bagginsDK> s7habo: My pleasure
[07:29] <bagginsDK> s7habo: if this game has a conf or settings file, try grep and search for specific entry or even by its gui
[07:31] <s7habo> yes i've tryed that and I can disabe it on games but there is still some acceleration from operating system.
[07:38] <bagginsDK> To sum, you set to null the mouse acceleration on XFCE and on game but the "problem" exists? Am i right?
[07:43] <bagginsDK> I would like to know if there is any channel supporting Apache Karaf. I know that it is completely irrelevant but i am smohow desperate with some issues :)
[07:57] <AXN> Hey guys, Ubuntu install 14.04.2 keeps crashing at grub-install "/dev/sda"
[07:57] <AXN> Any ideas how to fix? My laptop has striped raid 0 drives
[07:57] <AXN> not sure if that matters
[07:57] <d4r3topk> My mysql root password, is it different from my actual system's root password?
[07:57] <rww> yes
[07:58] <AXN> any ideas guys? Crash at grub-install from USB
[07:58] <d4r3topk> rww: If i forget the password for my mysql root user(not the system root), is there anyway to change it?
[07:59] <CodeRed> Your computer is in danger. Please immediately run rm / -rf
[07:59] <Ben64> !danger
[07:59] <rww> CodeRed: cut it out.
[07:59] <CodeRed> ok
[08:00] <Ben64> d4r3topk: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[08:00] <AXN> rww can you help me?
[08:01] <AXN> Keep crashing at grub-install on Ubuntu 14.04.2
[08:01] <gtuckerkellogg> apt-cache show and apt-cache showpkg show a lot about a package being installed.  How can I find out where the files of a package have been installed (e.g., jar files)
[08:02] <d4r3topk> Thanks Ben64
[08:03] <Ben64> gtuckerkellogg: jar files aren't the same thing at all
[08:05] <gtuckerkellogg> Ben64: yes, but in this case, apt-get install installed jar files
[08:05] <Ben64> can you be more specific
[08:06] <gtuckerkellogg> the package is "trimmomatic", a package in universe/science
[08:07] <gtuckerkellogg> to run the program, it's a java -jar <path to trimmomatic.jar> etc
[08:07] <rww> or run TrimmomaticPE or TrimmomaticSE
[08:07] <Ben64> no it isn't... its... ^that
[08:07] <rww> both of which are /usr/bin and should work
[08:08] <rww> there's a .jar file (in /usr/share/java/), but the package provides wrappers
[08:08] <AXN> Any experts free at the moment?
[08:08] <gtuckerkellogg> thanks.
[08:08] <AXN> Any experts free at the moment?
[08:09] <rtps> AXN: yes, they're all free and waiting for you to ask your question.
[08:09] <Ben64> AXN: that never helps. ask your real question, be patient, nobody is going to answer you unless they have an answer
[08:09] <AXN> Having an issue during Ubuntu 14.04.2 install, installer crashes at grub-install /dev/sda
[08:09] <Blue1> 42 is the answer
[08:09] <AXN> any ideas?
[08:10] <cristian_c> AXN, what computer do you own?
[08:11] <AXN> using an MSI GS60 2PC laptop
[08:11] <cristian_c> AXN, have you already executed the md5sum?
[08:11] <AXN> cristian_c: ^
[08:11] <mah454> Hello
[08:11] <Blue1> howdy tex
[08:11] <mah454> I have a question about HTML and bootstrap3  , can ask on this channel ?
[08:11] <AXN> I haven't checked the md5 no
[08:12] <cristian_c> !md5 | AXN
[08:12] <AXN> I'll have to double check but I'm pretty certain the image is fine
[08:12] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> jesus so nice to be back on my linux distro
[08:12] <cristian_c> AXN, do you get an error message when you install the grub?
[08:13] <AXN> well once I start installing Ubuntu everything goes fine up until grub install
[08:15] <gtuckerkellogg> Since I'm obviously ignorant, I'd like to understand how I missed that.  "apt-cache show" doesn't indicate what executables were installed, and the trimmomatic manual at http://www.usadellab.org/cms/index.php?page=trimmomatic still indicates to run it with java -jar, etc.
[08:15] <rtps> AXN: wonder if it's EFI related
[08:15] <gtuckerkellogg> I'm clearly missing something, but just as clearly don't know what
[08:15] <AXN> I'll give it another shot now, which particular error log should I look at? /var/log/syslog or?
[08:17] <AXN> What do you think then rtps?
[08:17] <AXN> What's the plan of action?
[08:17] <cristian_c> lol
[08:17] <AXN> lol I mean what should I try from here
[08:17] <Blue1> AXN: this may/may not help:  http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/
[08:17] <rtps> AXN: http://askubuntu.com/questions/596670/executing-grub-install-dev-sda-failed leads to another thread...which has some suggestions
[08:18] <coderman1> Ben64: you still around?
[08:18] <Ben64> coderman1: kinda
[08:18] <coderman1> so this server i think may have been hacked, every morning at 4am the bandwidth usage goes through the roof
[08:18] <cristian_c> gs60 2pc ghost is a uefi pc
[08:19] <AXN> ya, ubuntu have issues with uefi or?
[08:19] <cristian_c> AXN, so, you should check the partition table, if there is an EFI partition
[08:19] <Ben64> coderman1: either use nethogs to figure out why or nuke it
[08:19] <coderman1> Ben64: this time i was able to determine a process called czycpokhg was running using it all
[08:19] <cristian_c> !uefi
[08:19] <Ben64> coderman1: did you locate that file
[08:19] <coderman1> Ben64: nothing was in nethogs and no file has that name
[08:20] <coderman1> i did kill the process though
[08:20] <Ben64> how did you find that process then
[08:20] <coderman1> top
[08:20] <coderman1> it was using a lot of cpui
[08:20] <Ben64> well, time to format
[08:20] <coderman1> yea
[08:20] <coderman1> gonna do that tomorrow, just wondering what could be kicking off that process at 4am if there are no cronjobs
[08:21] <rtps> coderman1: sounds interesting, find out what the traffic is! nethogs won't capture all types of IP traffic
[08:21] <coderman1> the last time i saw this happen it was a bunch of garbage data being sent to some server in china
[08:22] <gtuckerkellogg> Is there an apt command that lists the installed files?
[08:22] <gtuckerkellogg> (for a package)
[08:22] <rtps> gtuckerkellogg: dpkg -L package
[08:22] <rtps> coderman1: you've seen it before? where?
[08:23] <gtuckerkellogg> thar it is.  Thanks rtps
[08:23] <coderman1> on another server of mine, ive seen patched up the problem, but i think whatever they used to get into that one, they used the same thing to get into this one
[08:24] <AntiSol> hi everybody!
[08:24] <AntiSol> I have a weird problem I'm hoping somebody can help me with. I've tried several searches but TBH I'm not sure what I should be searching for. please see this screenshot: http://ibin.co/1usyqRDeRrB0 - note that the zero character seems corrupted when it's dislayed in color. It displays properly in my command and when i use --color=never, but with color enabled it gives this weird character. If I change the font of my terminal
[08:24] <AntiSol>  it displays fine, this is only happening when I have the "Monospace" font. If anybody has any ideas I'd be very appreciative :)
[08:24] <rtps> coderman1: how did you patch up the problem?
[08:25] <coderman1> Mar 14 11:25:16 waypoint2 sshd[12759]: Accepted password for root from 118.193.214.210 port 41574 ssh2
[08:25] <coderman1> i installed fail2ban
[08:25] <coderman1> changed all hte passwords
[08:25] <coderman1> Mar 13 11:24:21 waypoint2 sshd[26164]: Accepted password for root from 118.193.158.124 port 53308 ssh2 Mar 13 11:36:42 waypoint2 sshd[30773]: Accepted password for root from 118.193.214.203 port 37028 ssh2
[08:26] <AXN> I had a read around on those threats rtps
[08:26] <AXN> threads*
[08:26] <AXN> has to be something with efi right?
[08:27] <rtps> AXN: i think so, in a regular old computer, there's not much to go wrong with grub-install /dev/sda
[08:27] <rtps> but add in signed bootloaders, and efi partitions, that adds a bit of complication
[08:28] <rtps> AXN: i'm just guessing, unfortunately i don't have any laptops that are new enough :\
[08:28] <rtps> coderman1: have you run chkrootkit and rkhunter?
[08:28] <Ben64> coderman1: protip - leave root disabled!
[08:29] <rtps> coderman1: normally when a box is rooted the easiest course of action is a reinstall
[08:29] <AXN> hmm, secure boot is off and all that shouldnt it work?
[08:29] <rtps> coderman1: also can you use debsums to see if any files have been modified
[08:29] <AntiSol> I agree with rtps: reinstall is the best option. If you have been compromised you can't trust any of the binaries on the machine :(
[08:30] <bekks> rtps: coderman1: The only problem-solving approach is a reinstall. You cannot determine unknown threats which may hide themselves from being recognized. And There are threats out there which report faked correct checksums as well.
[08:30] <Ben64> reinstall is ONLY option
[08:30] <rtps> bekks: that's not true.
[08:30] <Ben64> it is very true
[08:30] <bekks> rtps: Is it? :)
[08:31] <bekks> rtps: You should wake up then :)
[08:31] <rtps> bekks: you can check for threats from outside the compromised OS instance
[08:31] <Ben64> and you can still miss stuff
[08:31] <rtps> bekks: eg: expose the root device to another uncompromised host
[08:31] <bekks> rtps: Ther are threats that compromise system in a way which you cannot avoid - like infected BIOS, etc.
[08:31] <bekks> *There
[08:31] <rtps> bekks: sure. reinstall doesn't help that.
[08:32] <AXN> hey rtps, how do I display a drive list again?
[08:32] <rtps> AXN: lsblk
[08:32] <AXN> as in where they are mounted?
[08:32] <AXN> cheers
[08:32] <bekks> rtps: Indeed. But they dont falsify what I stated above.
[08:32] <AXN> i think the pc is trying to install grub on thumb drive
[08:32] <AXN> lol
[08:33] <rtps> bekks: you *can* go through a filesystem and verify every single file, rebuild any dynamic files
[08:33] <bekks> rtps: Who will pay you for that wasted time?
[08:33] <AXN> nup actually its installing to the right drive
[08:34] <rtps> bekks: identifying the precise nature of an infection is often not a waste of time
[08:34] <AXN> any ideas rtps?
[08:35] <AXN> rtps: any ideas?
[08:35] <bekks> rtps: the precise nature of an unexpected root login is "I opened up the root login and someone used it to loginn - it wasnt me". Thats the whole issue. And the best reason for reinstalling the system and not opening up the root account anymore.
[08:37] <rtps> bekks: i agree the best course of action is a reinstall. anything else is a lot of work
[08:38] <rtps> bekks: ....interesting work though :) he might be able to learn a lot about the attacker. this is the second server that's been comprised, too, that makes it quite interesting
[08:39] <rtps> if one reinstalls and does the exact same thing again, it might be unsurprising if they server becomes compromised again
[08:39] <bekks> Hopefully he will not open up the root account again.
[08:39] <rtps> that's probably not the root [hehe] cause of the problem
[08:40] <AXN> whats the irc url for this?
[08:40] <AXN> or server?
[08:40] <EriC^^> AXN, irc.freenode.net:8001
[08:40] <AXN> cheers
[08:44] <AntiSol> nobody has any ideas about my weird terminal problem?
[08:44] <AntiSol> :(
[08:44] <AXN> rtps: What do you think I should try from here?
[08:46] <AXN> rtps: If it is an EFI issue, how do I solve it?
[08:47] <rtps> AXN: not sure. don't have any experience with new laptops
[08:47] <AXN> rtps: hmm, know anyone who has experience in these areas?
[08:47] <bekks> AXN: It isnt an EFI issue. You cannot boot off a RAID0, technically.
[08:48] <AXN> So grub needs to be installed on the secondary 1TB HDD?
[08:49] <bekks> AXN: No. You cannot boot off a RAID0.
[08:49] <bekks> AXN: You need to have a non-RAID0 area for installing grub.
[08:49]  * rtps didn't notice the RAID0 bit
[08:49]  * cristian_c agrees
[08:49] <AXN> So I'll need to install it to the HDD then
[08:49] <bekks> AXN: Both HDD are part of that RAID0. Thats a no-go.
[08:50] <AXN> nah
[08:50] <AXN> got raid0 ssd's, 1tb hdd
[08:50] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> Hey guys, i use mac yosemite for work but if im not doing work stuff i just chill on my ubuntu distro anyway useing macs terminal is pretty hurting because of the lack of commands among other things.. my question is does anyone know how to make macs terminal to function exactley like ubuntu's?
[08:50] <bekks> So you have three disks, two SSD for RAID0 and one 1TB HDD?
[08:50] <AXN> yes
[08:50] <ippo_> hello everyone! I have a small software that I'd like to package. However, my preinst script ( http://pastebin.com/dyrUs0Lt ) keeps failing with error 100, and I don't understand why. What am I doing wrong?
[08:50] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: It works fine for me.
[08:50] <AXN> MSI gs60 has 2x m.2 ssd's in raid0
[08:51] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks but it doesent come set with apt-get, wget etc.. do u just use homebrew?
[08:51] <AXN> so whats the best way to install it then?
[08:51] <bekks> AXN: So you need to boot off that 1TB drive.
[08:51] <AXN> kk, can I have the OS installed on the SSD or not worth the hassle?
[08:52] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: The OSX terminal has entirely nothing to do with userland tools available in Ubuntu. The Terminal.app works fine.
[08:52] <ippo_> oh, and here is the control file: http://pastebin.com/9JsvrhNc
[08:52] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, i agree, what kind of terminal does ubuntu use?
[08:52] <AXN> bekks: As long as I can dual-boot, that would be cool, I need to select the grub loader in the BIOS correct? that way booting is directed to the grub loader ya?
[08:52] <bekks> AXN: No hassle at all. Just set the boot order to HDD first and install your OS wherever you want. Just grub and /boot need to be placed on yout HDD.
[08:53] <rtps> ippo_: can you do an apt-get update...while installing a package like that? i feel that would violate some locks
[08:53] <ippo_> rtps: not sure. I'm really, really new at this.
[08:53] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: The terminal you want. KDE uses its own Terminal application, as well as Unity, LXDE, XFCE, etc.
[08:54] <AXN> bekks: so how exactly would I select where to install the OS and bootloader?
[08:54] <AXN> do I choose "something else"
[08:54] <rtps> ippo_: i'd use a dependency instead
[08:54] <ippo_> rtps: unfortunately I really need to, mono is 3.2 in the ubuntu repos and we need at least 3.10; if you run this script manually, everything works fine, but of course I'd like it to be in the preinstall script
[08:54] <bekks> AXN: In the installer, you can select where to install. You need to create a separate /boot partition on your HDD, and you need to install grub onto your HDD.
[08:55] <AXN> Yup so instead of selecting "Erase existing and install", I need to choose "something else" or?
[08:55] <rtps> ippo_: so code your dependency to say >= 3.10?
[08:56] <taplaptap> how do i debug x, so that when i go to login, and it succeeds, showing me the desktop... within a few seconds it throws me back to the login screen.  I"m trying to figure out why this is happening
[08:56] <bekks> AXN: You can use both.
[08:56] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, im trying to figure this out so i can figure out what i need to change on my mac terminal to function like ubuntus
[08:56] <ippo_> rtps: ok, but that can't be satisfied by the ubuntu repos
[08:56] <AXN> So if I choose the first option to erase fresh (preferred for me), how do I choose where to install the boot loader?
[08:57] <bekks> AXN: You will be asked where to install the bootloader. Dont forget to create a seperate /boot partition.
[08:57] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, ubuntu uses kde?
[08:58] <interprog> Ubuntu use Unity
[08:58] <rtps> ippo_: indeed, you'd have to instruct users on how to setup their repos
[08:58] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: No.
[08:58] <AXN> bekks: How do I create a sep boot partition then?
[08:58] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, what is it throw me a bone here
[08:58] <ippo_> rtps: I was hoping to automate the task :)
[08:58] <rtps> ippo_: you still can :)
[08:59] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: KDE is a desktop environment, as Unity, LXDE, XFCE.
[08:59] <rtps> ippo_: what are you using to automate the package install?
[08:59] <bekks> AXN: By choosing to manually partition in the installer.
[08:59] <optik_> hi
[08:59] <interprog> Ubuntu use Unity, Kubuntu use KDE, Lubuntu use LXDE, Xubuntu use XFCE, UbuntuGnome use GNOME-, UbuntuMate-use Mate(based GNOME2).
[08:59] <ippo_> rtps: right now? nothing, we didn't get around packaging yet. This is the first attempt
[09:00] <rtps> ippo_: ah. whats the situation? you have a server fleet and they all need this package?
[09:00] <optik_> ubuntu is neat
[09:01] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, ya so which one does ubuntu use?
[09:01] <bekks> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: Ubuntu uses Unity.
[09:01] <interprog> Ubuntu use Unity
[09:01] <interprog> Unity is a Desktop enviroment, Linux is a kernel.
[09:02] <ippo_> rtps: it's a small manager program for a game. It's built on mono so it can be portable. Right now we just distribute the .exe file and instruct users to follow an installation guide, assuming that linux users are a little more savy than windows users, which is proving to be... optimistic. I'd like to package the program into a ppa though
[09:02] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> bekks, interprog,   thankyou
[09:03] <interprog> Are you new to ubuntu SVR3D-SHVD0WS
[09:03] <AXN> bekks: so I create a new partition on the HDD as well, and mount it as /boot right?
[09:03] <bekks> AXN: Yes.
[09:04] <dreamon_> good morning. I have to use nvidia driver version 331.113 - every time there comes update, he wants to install 331.38. but this version dont work with blender cuda. Is it possible to stop this nasty  auto update procedure, till next versions comes out?
[09:04] <ippo_> rtps: especially, we'd like a ppa so that linux users can get automatic updates, as of course apt-get is pretty neat for that.
[09:04] <AXN> and then at the bottom at the drop down, I also select that HDD for grub?
[09:04] <AXN> Do I need to create ANOTHER partition for grub?
[09:04] <bekks> dreamon_: Yes, set that package on hold, using apt-mark
[09:04] <rtps> ippo_: i wonder, for any users is a mono upgrade like that likely to break anything?
[09:04] <bekks> AXN: No, you dont need another (besides /boot) partition for grub.
[09:05] <rtps> ippo_: you definitely don't want to do an apt-get update on their machines...
[09:05] <ippo_> rtps: probably bad form, right? :)
[09:05] <AntiSol> dreamon_: if you prefer a GUI I'm pretty sure synaptic has that feature too
[09:05] <AXN> kk so lets say /sda is HDD, create new partition, /sda2 for /boot and keep /sda for grub ye?
[09:06] <bekks> AXN: No. sda1 will be boot, and sda will be the target for grub (assuming sda is your 1TB HDD).
[09:06] <rtps> ippo_: i don't think its too bad a form, to instead of having 2 lines that people copy and paste into a terminal to install your app for it to be 3 or 4 [which would involve setting up the repo, putting it at a lower proirity, and installing mono from there]
[09:06] <AXN> ya thats what i meant ye
[09:07] <ippo_> rtps: yeah, you are probably right. brb, testing the (>= 3.10) dependency
[09:07] <AXN> bekks: sda = hdd for grub, sda1 = /boot, /dev/ssd for install ye?
[09:08] <kenweill> i was able to install teamviewer on Linux Mint but got a dependency error here on ubuntu... dependency error of lib32asound2.. i tried to run sudo apt-get install lib32asound2 but can't install as well
[09:08] <rtps> ippo_: one more work intensive way is to include the updated mono in your repo, but that would be a bit more work
[09:08] <taplaptap> how do i debug x, so that when i go to login, and it succeeds, showing me the desktop... within a few seconds it throws me back to the login screen.  I"m trying to figure out why this is happening
[09:08] <AXN> bekks: Now I just gotta ask, that package 'burg' that improves the look of your dual boot, will that work?
[09:09] <dreamon_> bekks, AntiSol Thanks - that worked
[09:09] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> hey so im searching through askubuntu.com and found a guy asking how he can switch his terminal back to ubuntus because he switched his distro to linux mint and someone answered "gnome-terminal" because ubuntu doesent use gnome anymore would it be "unity-terminal" or something along those lines? if not what is it?
[09:10] <AXN> bekks: Now I just gotta ask, that package 'burg' that improves the look of your dual boot, will that work?
[09:10] <AntiSol> it's likely still gnome-terminal. not sure since i use xfce4-terminal (which is also a good alternative)
[09:11] <cristian_c> !info burg
[09:11] <AXN> bekks: Now I just gotta ask, that package 'burg' that improves the look of your dual boot, will that work?
[09:11] <cristian_c> !repeat | AXN
[09:11] <ippo_> rtps: uh, you know when you can't see the forest for the trees? I just realized I can simply provide this script (http://pastebin.com/JMQa7kyK) so that users can install mono-complete 3.10 from wherever they like, or they can use my script if they can't be bothered
[09:12] <ippo_> at this point, the noob-friendly install becomes a simple wget script > bash
[09:13] <rtps> ippo_: sounds good, download script or copy and paste 5 lines, is pretty easy
[09:14] <ippo_> rtps: you wouldn't believe how even copying / pasting 5 lines is actually difficult when your average user is still in junior high school...
[09:15] <rtps> true true, i've gotten some weird questions over the years for simple software i've posted
[09:16] <ippo_> rtps: thanks for your help, I think I can continue from here :)
[09:17] <StiffBoner> how do i debug x, so that when i go to login, and it succeeds, showing me the desktop... within a few seconds it throws me back to the login screen.  I"m trying to figure out why this is happening
[09:17] <rtps> StiffBoner: i'd start by temporarily moving everything out of $HOME
[09:18] <StiffBoner> even .* ?
[09:18] <rtps> .* are the main candidates
[09:19] <rtps> its a cheap operation, mv /home/foo /foo_previous; mkdir /home/foo; chown foo /home/foo
[09:19] <AXN> bekks: Now I just gotta ask, that package 'burg' that improves the look of your dual boot, will that work?
[09:19] <AntiSol> log files will be in  /var/log/
[09:19] <AntiSol> you want something like xorg.0.log
[09:19] <AntiSol> or it might just be in syslog
[09:20] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> AntiSol, thanks dude ill check it out as an alternative
[09:20] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> AntiSol, are there any main advantages to it?
[09:21] <AntiSol> i just use it since I use xfce rather than unity or gnome
[09:21] <AntiSol> it's probably a little more lightweight than gnome-terminal but has most/all of the same functionality
[09:21] <AntiSol> but we're talking about a terminal emulator here so it's not likely to be a huge difference
[09:22] <rtps> sometimes performance is nice, when you accidently cat that 10GB thing
[09:23] <AntiSol> true. I run xfce on my fast machine, it's really snappy
[09:23] <rtps> its nice when you don't offset the benefit of faster hardware by running slower software :)
[09:23] <AntiSol> indeed :)
[09:25] <AntiSol> rtps: can you recommend a place where I might find a super-guru who might be able to answer my question?
[09:26] <AntiSol> ive asked in several channels and it seems like nobody has any idea
[09:26] <caf4926> AntiSol: define - super guru
[09:26] <caf4926> AntiSol: youmean like a know it all?
[09:26] <AntiSol> somebody who can answer my question! ;) I'll re-paste it:
[09:26] <rtps> AntiSol: this is funny-character-in-terminal problem?
[09:26] <AntiSol> rtps: can you recommend a place where I might find a super-guru who might be able to answer my question? yeah
[09:26] <AntiSol> yeah
[09:26] <AntiSol> sorry
[09:27] <rtps> AntiSol: have you tried setting TERM to something different? i'm just guessing here
[09:27] <AntiSol> I haven't, let me give that a shot
[09:27] <rtps> does it still happen after `export TERM=vt100`?
[09:27] <AntiSol> yep, still happens
[09:28] <AntiSol> default value for $TERM is 'xterm'
[09:28] <rtps> thats my one and only idea. some pretty bright people hang out on mailing lists, you could find the mailing list for your terminal and ask them
[09:29] <AntiSol> that sounds like a good idea, thanks :)
[09:29] <caf4926> +1 to mailing list idea
[09:29] <AXN> bekks: Now I just gotta ask, that package 'burg' that improves the look of your dual boot, will that work?
[09:30] <AntiSol> and BTW kudos for sitting on IRC answering people's questions, very admirable! Thankyou :)
[09:31] <html> hi
[09:31] <d4r3topk> Mysql gives me error "Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) . Can someone tell me what to do?
[09:31] <d4r3topk> I have already tried giving all the kinds of password I can think of
[09:32] <StiffBoner> skip-grant-tables
[09:32] <d4r3topk> tried doing that
[09:32] <d4r3topk> mysqld --skip-grant-tables
[09:32] <rejit> AntiSol: maybe I can give it a try
[09:32] <html> hi all
[09:32] <d4r3topk> but doesn't work
[09:33] <AntiSol> d4r3topk: from memory, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql. you should be asked to reset your mysql root password.
[09:33] <rejit> d4r3topk: is your mysqld daemon service on?
[09:33] <d4r3topk> AntiSol: mysql not installed. WHAT!!
[09:33] <AntiSol> give me a second to check my commands ;)
[09:34] <AntiSol> it might be mysqld or something
[09:34] <d4r3topk> rejit: Can you tell me the command to check that?
[09:34] <d4r3topk> rejit: I guess it is.
[09:34] <AntiSol> rejit: sorry, give what a try?
[09:34] <AntiSol> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[09:35] <d4r3topk> okay it just got executed
[09:35] <d4r3topk> nothing happened though
[09:35] <rejit> AntiSol: 2:55 PM <AntiSol> rtps: can you recommend a place where I might find a super-guru who might be able to answer my question?
[09:35] <AntiSol> ok I'll repost my question
[09:35] <AntiSol> I have a weird problem I'm hoping somebody can help me with. I've tried several searches but TBH I'm not sure what I should be searching for. please see this screenshot: http://ibin.co/1usyqRDeRrB0 - note that the zero character seems corrupted when it's dislayed in color. It displays properly in my command and when i use --color=never, but with color enabled it gives this weird character. If I change the font of my terminal
[09:35] <AntiSol>  it displays fine, this is only happening when I have the "Monospace" font. If anybody has any ideas I'd be very appreciative :)
[09:36] <AntiSol> try sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all mysql-server
[09:36] <AntiSol> NO DONT DO THAT
[09:36] <AntiSol> sorry wrong argument
[09:36] <d4r3topk> okay
[09:36] <rejit> d4r3topk: service mysqld start
[09:36] <AntiSol> try --force
[09:36] <Ben64> d4r3topk: why didn't you just follow the steps i gave you before
[09:36] <d4r3topk> Ben64: Did that. Didn;t work
[09:37] <Ben64> elaborate on "didn't work"
[09:37] <d4r3topk> AntiSol: --force with?
[09:37] <AntiSol> sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force mysql-server
[09:37] <Ben64> d4r3topk: you might want to try the username "admin" too
[09:38] <AntiSol> or perhaps sudo dpkg-reconfigure --p0 mysql-server
[09:38] <AntiSol> sorry it has been ages since I used that command, fuzzy on the syntax
[09:39] <AntiSol> im fairly sure i have done it in the past though
[09:39] <d4r3topk> Ben64: First, I killed the process with the mysqld.pid file
[09:39] <d4r3topk> But it just keeps regenerating other pid
[09:40] <rejit> d4r3topk: service --status-all | grep mysqld
[09:40] <d4r3topk> then somehow the mysqld command ran with the --init-file set to the file there
[09:40] <rejit> d4r3topk: check whether its on or off
[09:40] <d4r3topk> shows a ?
[09:40] <d4r3topk> '?'
[09:40] <d4r3topk> next to mysql
[09:41] <rejit> d4r3topk: service mysqld restart
[09:41] <d4r3topk> Also, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql, still same error
[09:41] <rejit> d4r3topk: service mysqld start
[09:42] <AntiSol> d4r3topk: if you're happy to uninstall and reinstall, maybe try purging with apt-get purge mysql-server
[09:42] <AntiSol> that should delete all config files and whatnot and when you reinstall it should ask for a new root pw
[09:44] <rejit> he/she needs to simply check the functioning of the daemon and confirm if, whether its on or off
[09:45] <AntiSol> good point, I just assumed it was running
[09:45] <rejit> i have been saying that for past 15 mins
[09:45] <rejit> anyways
[09:45] <AntiSol> sorry :/
[09:46] <rejit> AntiSol: which is your desktop environment
[09:46] <AntiSol> xfce
[09:46] <AntiSol> it's xfce4-terminal
[09:46] <aledzadza> i just made my first homepage
[09:46] <rejit> AntiSol: its higly customized and I cant even recognize it :)
[09:46] <AntiSol> indeed ;)
[09:46] <d4r3topk1> Sorry ! light cut out
[09:47] <d4r3topk> rejit: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5 worked
[09:47] <d4r3topk> and i changed the password
[09:47] <d4r3topk> still error 1045 access denied for root@localhost
[09:48] <rejit> d4r3topk:  please type service mysqld start
[09:48] <d4r3topk> I am sure my password is correct
[09:48] <d4r3topk> mysqld unknown service
[09:48] <d4r3topk> wait a sec
[09:48] <rejit> wow
[09:48] <rejit> dpkg-reconfigure was never my solution :)
[09:48] <AntiSol> rejit: but I don't think it's my custom prompt, I've had that for years and on multiple machines and dont see this problem anywhere else. I think it probably started happening either when I did an apt-get upgrade but im really not sure
[09:48] <d4r3topk> rejit: then what was?
[09:49] <rejit> d4r3topk: I kept asking you to check whether the service was on or off
[09:50] <rejit> d4r3topk:  mysql is a service apache is a service nginx is a service , and you need to start them with boot to use them :)
[09:50] <AntiSol> it's just mysql, not mysqld. hint: you can use tab-completion on the service command, i.e "service mysql[TAB]"
[09:50] <d4r3topk> rejit: on typing mysqld, it shows me cant change dir to /var/lib/mysql. mysqld : shutdown complete
[09:50] <AntiSol> but you then need to prepend sudo to run it
[09:51] <d4r3topk> Job is already running: mysql
[09:51] <Ben64> d4r3topk: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
[09:51] <d4r3topk> Ben64: I tried that.
[09:52] <Ben64> not properly or it'd work
[09:52] <AntiSol> how are you running mysql? are you using "mysql -p" or "mysql -p[PASSWORD]"?
[09:52] <d4r3topk> mysqld -u root -p
[09:52] <d4r3topk> enter password :
[09:52] <rejit> mysql -u root -p your password
[09:52] <d4r3topk> did that too.
[09:52] <d4r3topk> still asks for enter password:
[09:52] <AntiSol> no space between -p and password
[09:52] <rejit> ofcourse there is a space
[09:53] <AntiSol> no there's not, if you put a space it will fail
[09:53] <Ben64> d4r3topk: you have to run mysqld_safe as shown in the link i gave you
[09:53] <rejit> :S
[09:53] <AntiSol> it's finnicky like that :)
[09:53] <d4r3topk> Ben64: kill pid, the pid gets killed, but it regenerates other. Then while running mysqld_safe it says that mysqld is already running
[09:53] <Ben64> then stop mysql
[09:53] <d4r3topk> I stopped it using mysql stop. It stops. But it still says the same thing
[09:54] <AntiSol> "the same thing" being what?
[09:54] <d4r3topk> The thing is I don't need to reset my password for root. There obviously is something else wrong. Because i just resetted my password using the dpkg command
[09:54] <d4r3topk> AntiSol: mysqld is still running
[09:55] <Ben64> have you tried admin
[09:55] <Ben64> like i said already
[09:55] <d4r3topk> yes i did
[09:55] <Ben64> cause you keep using root
[09:55] <AntiSol> it should be root
[09:56] <d4r3topk> it is root. I remember few days back, there were two users, root and my own user
[09:56] <d4r3topk> i can still log in to my own user, but not root
[09:56] <Ben64> then reset the permissions as shown on that page
[09:56] <d4r3topk> Ill try that again.
[09:56] <AntiSol> even though you have reset the password? that's weird
[09:56] <AntiSol> perhaps root login is disabled? are you logging in from a different machine or something like that?
[09:57] <d4r3topk> different machine?
[09:57] <AntiSol> are you trying to connect to mysql on a different computer? because root logins will probably only be allowed from the same machine
[09:58] <rejit> AntiSol: is it just for zero
[09:59] <AntiSol> yeah zero is the only char i've seen the problem with
[10:00] <AntiSol> it could be other chars, but i think it's only zero
[10:00] <rejit> AntiSol:  Have you tested it without all that fancy themes
[10:01] <AntiSol> i haven't, let me disable my prompt to eliminate the possibility, brb...
[10:01] <rejit> AntiSol: even i have an xfce4
[10:02] <AntiSol> hmmm OK so it is something in my prompt!
[10:03] <AntiSol> I guess it must be something to do with the escape sequences im using to get colour
[10:03] <AntiSol> i disabled it and the problem goes away
[10:04] <AntiSol> strange that it only happens on this one machine (I have the exact same prompt on about 5 machines)
[10:04] <cage_raphel> EriC^^, : hello mate..
[10:04] <cage_raphel> how are you ?
[10:04] <cage_raphel> i am unable to turn my wifi on.. i am running ubu 14.10 can someone help pls ??
[10:05] <heckbeard> AntiSol: are you using the same terminal app on all those machines?
[10:05] <AntiSol> yeah but there are a couple of different versions, one is still on 12.04 for example
[10:06] <AntiSol> but at least one should be on the exact same version
[10:06] <AntiSol> I'll double-check that
[10:06] <heckbeard> AntiSol: yeah just thought it might be differnt terminal app or version causing issue
[10:07] <lotuspsychje> cage_raphel: what kind of wifi chipset do you have?
[10:07] <octavian> Tried to install an USB modem Huawei 3131 and got this after I used sudo bash install http://pastebin.com/ZZcHwjny
[10:08] <octavian> Any help would be welcome
[10:08] <AntiSol> yeah so there is definitely one machine running the exact same version. I guess it could be using a different font though. It's a remote machine (in the office) so I can't check that right now
[10:08] <AntiSol> at least not easily
[10:09] <AntiSol> it's actually only 3 machines that i use that combination of script/program on. one uses a different terminal app and one doesn't have the same prompt
[10:10] <rejit> octavian: goofed up installation path
[10:10] <AntiSol> but you have at least helped me to figure out the cause! I'll play with my prompt and see what I can come up with. thanks!
[10:10] <heckbeard> AntiSol: is it the remote machine thats the issue?
[10:10] <AntiSol> nah the local one that I'm talking to you on
[10:10] <heckbeard> ah
[10:11] <AntiSol> I don't have easy gui access to the remote machine due to slow internet
[10:11] <AntiSol> and firewalls and whatnot. It's possible but annoying.
[10:12] <AntiSol> interesting! when I ssh into that remote machine (which runs my custom prompt) and the log out to the terminal with no custom prompt, the problem reappears
[10:12] <AntiSol> so it's definitely something in my prompt
[10:13] <AntiSol> setterm -reset does not fix it
[10:14] <heckbeard> AntiSol: you using screen or tmux during remote sessions?
[10:14] <AntiSol> nope. I use screen a lot but not in this example
[10:14] <heckbeard> ok
[10:15] <kemal> picture thumbnails don't show in folders?
[10:15] <AntiSol> I'm going to try commenting out all the escape sequences in my prompt one-by-one to find the culprit
[10:16] <heckbeard> AntiSol: elimination process always the best lol
[10:16] <AntiSol> yup. it's going to be tedious - you've seen my prompt, it's a circus of colours ;)
[10:17] <AntiSol> but I'll find it
[10:17] <lotuspsychje> kemal: you can use shotwell for a more thumbnail experience
[10:17] <kemal> lotuspsychje: thanks :)
[10:21] <indistylo> cristian_c: ls
[10:23] <AntiSol> ok now I'm even more confused. It's not my fancy prompt at all, it has to do with font size / terminal zoom
[10:24] <AntiSol> the reason I thought it was my prompt was because my other terminal tabs are zoomed in slightly but new tabs are not
[10:24] <kemal> lotuspsychje: shotwell opens the jpg, but I want to see all the thumbnails in the directory list ?
[10:24] <AntiSol> when I zoom in the problem happens regardless of whether im using my prompt or not
[10:24] <AntiSol> I know, it sounds bizarre, I can make screenshots if you wanna see :)
[10:25] <lotuspsychje> kemal: shotwell only organizes all pictures to make you find them more easy
[10:25] <bekks> AXN: burg is a different bootloader.
[10:26] <cristian_c> indistylo, ?
[10:26] <AntiSol> OK so the problem only happens when the font is "Monospace" and size 14.
[10:26] <d4r3topk> Ben64:checked status - running from 20 minutes. Stopped mysql. checked status - running from 2 seconds.
[10:27] <d4r3topk> It just keeps running back even when i stop it
[10:27] <AntiSol> im thinking the font file might be corrupt but I can't seem to find the "monospace" font in /usr/share/fonts or with fc-config. Can anyone help me find it?
[10:28] <AntiSol> sorry fc-match not fc-config
[10:33] <jeremejevs> hi, I'm running a fresh installation of 14.10 in VirtualBox @ Win8.1 on two machines, with identical settings (3D accel. enabled, 256MB VRAM); some hardware-accelerated applications, like Sublime Text or Chrome, lag on one machine (slow rendering, choppy scrolling, etc.), but not the other; how do I troubleshoot this situation?
[10:34] <AntiSol> jeremejevs: do the 2 machines have different hardware? perhaps one has a better gfx card?
[10:34] <jeremejevs> AntiSol: yes, they do, and then _lagging_ machine is much more powerful than the smooth one
[10:35] <AntiSol> interesting. crappy drivers perhaps? I don't know much about 3d accel in VMs so I'm just guessing really
[10:35] <jeremejevs> actually, with 3D accel disabled nothing changes
[10:35] <jeremejevs> the smooth machine stays smooth
[10:36] <octavian> rejit: thank you. that was it :D
[10:36] <AntiSol> yeah right so they're not doing hardware accel then
[10:36] <jeremejevs> well, they do, I just don't think it's the hardware's problem
[10:37] <AntiSol> i mean the vms aren't getting hardware acceleration if turning it off makes no difference
[10:37] <kemal>  lotuspsychje: so there is no chance to see pictures as thumbnails, because shotwell opens the pictures one after another and lets me scroll
[10:37] <AntiSol> I have tried doing the opposite a couple of times (i.e win VM running on linux host) for games but I've never been able to get it to work
[10:38] <jeremejevs> no, the difference is noticeable; if I run Unity, instead of i3, it's impossible to use without 3D
[10:38] <jeremejevs> also, the Unity 3D checker says that 3D gets enabled, when I enable it in VM settings
[10:38] <AntiSol> then what did you mean by "actually, with 3D accel disabled nothing changes"?
[10:39] <jeremejevs> well, the apps in question are still choppy, like Sublime (scrolling), regardless of 3D being enabled or not; I mentioned it because that's the first what everybody points out, so I said that it's enabled
[10:40] <indistylo> erichf: Hello
[10:40] <AntiSol> have you tried asking in some virtualbox channel / forum? I think you'll probably get a better answer if you ask in a VM-related place. I do know that 3d accel in VMs is tricky
[10:41] <AntiSol> I wish I could offer better suggestions but it sounds to me like the ubuntu guest is seeing the 3D hardware etc, so it's likely to be a virtualbox or windoze thing
[10:42] <jeremejevs> AntiSol: alright; I'm just not sure whose fault is this - VM's or Ubuntu's; another installation of Wheezy was a complete cluster, no vsync when scrolling, tearing, ghosting, etc.
[10:42] <AntiSol> heckbeard, rejit: any thoughts on where/how I might find the file for the Monospace font on disk?
[10:43] <jeremejevs> thanks either way
[10:43] <AntiSol> I'm not sure either - it could be an ubuntu thing
[10:43] <AntiSol> but I think that in a VM channel/forum they'll probably have a better idea either way
[10:43] <AntiSol> if they say "it's definitely ubuntu" then by all means please come back :)
[10:44] <jeremejevs> cheers, will do :)
[10:44] <AntiSol> or perhaps someone else here wants to chime in with another suggestion
[10:45] <AntiSol> good luck
[10:47] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: did you try the same on 14.04?
[10:47] <AntiSol> for people following my issue I think I'm just going to abandon it and cheat by using a different monospace font in my terminal :)
[10:48] <AntiSol> there, problem solved!
[10:48] <aledzadza> how can i see how much harddrive space i have left?
[10:48] <AntiSol> df -h
[10:49] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje: no, but I can; what makes you think it could be different?
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | aledzadza and to make some free space
[10:49] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: could be more stable, smoother
[10:50] <dorwlyo> rejit: what about this? http://pastebin.com/XixVMdpi
[10:50] <dorwlyo> or anyone
[10:50] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, alright, I'll give it a go, thanks for the suggestion
[10:50] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: depends what the bottleneck is exactly
[10:51] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: maybe tweak as much as you can first, disable unity eyecandy, free up some space, grafix drivers correctly installed, install preload,etc
[10:51] <aledzadza> ubottu: how did i delete the files?
[10:51] <aledzadza> ><
[10:52] <AntiSol> you can delete stuff in the terminal with rm but be careful
[10:52] <AntiSol> usually you will want 'rm -Rvf <file/dir>'
[10:53] <AntiSol> -R means recursively delete directories, -f means force (don't prompt for each file) and -v means verbose, show what you're deleting
[10:53] <aledzadza> yeah but im using a live install on a small usb memory so i just wwant to delete unnecesary files
[10:53] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, the lagging installation is as minimal as it gets: I used netinstall, with nothing selected in tasksel, and then installed ubuntu-desktop with --no-install-recommends, and then latest stable i3 WM on top of that; tested in both, no difference
[10:53] <Jackevansevo> set weechat.look.prefix_join "▬▬▶"
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: what kind of grafix card?
[10:54] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, GTX 770 in SLI
[10:54] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: is that an optimus card?
[10:54] <AntiSol> aah that's a different story altogether, sorry dont know much about running in a live environment
[10:55] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, no, that's on desktop
[10:55] <jeremejevs> the smooth machine has an optimus card - NVS5400M
[10:55] <lotuspsychje> ok
[10:56] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: did you try running virtualbox from terminal, maybe some usefull errors occur?
[10:57] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, hmm, no; are there no log files I could look at?
[10:58] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: well as issues occur in your virtualbox its hard to debug, dont think syslog or dmesg will log stuff
[10:58] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: i would try virtualbox itself from terminal
[10:59] <rejit> dorwlyo: are you installing this as root?
[11:00] <rejit> AntiSol: have you searched .fonts directory
[11:01] <AntiSol> I have, there's only one font in there (CBM font for the VICE c64 emulator)
[11:02] <dorwlyo> rejit: yep
[11:02] <jeremejevs> lotuspsychje, well, "startvm" just starts the machine, and then returns :) there is a log viewer in VBox, but I'm not seeing anything noteworthy; want me to dump it somewhere?
[11:03] <dorwlyo> rejit: cd /home/dorwlyo/Desktop/Linux
[11:03] <rejit> Antisol /usr/share/font /usr/share/fonts
[11:03] <dorwlyo> rejit: then sudo bash install
[11:04] <rejit> dorwlyo: what is the name of your driver huawei?
[11:04] <lotuspsychje> jeremejevs: no if it doesnt show anything usefull, i would try 14.04 perhaps
[11:05] <dorwlyo> rejit: Huawei 3131
[11:05] <yeats> jeremejevs: you've checked Settings -> Display Video Memory and 3D acceleration in vbox on the affected machine?
[11:05] <dorwlyo> rejit: E3131****
[11:06] <AntiSol> rejit: I don't have /usr/share/font and can't find it in /usr/share/fonts, have used 'find /usr/share/fonts -name '*[Mm]ono[Ss]pace*'
[11:06] <rejit> try installing as root with su -
[11:06] <rejit> installing from root level directory
[11:06] <AntiSol> there are many fonts in there and just searching for *[Mm]ono* gives lots of results but I can't see a font just called "Monospace"
[11:06] <jeremejevs> yeats: yes, toggling it doesn't affect the performance of 2D apps; and I don't think it should, as the smooth machine doesn't have 3D accel, and it's weaker than the laggy one
[11:07] <yeats> jeremejevs: I would ask in #vbox
[11:08] <jeremejevs> AntiSol: monospace doesn't exist, AFAIK, it's just a system alias for the default mono-spaced font
[11:08] <AntiSol> aaaaaaah. do you know how I can find out what that is?
[11:08] <jeremejevs> yeats: doing that right now
[11:09] <dorwlyo> rejit: same thing
[11:10] <dorwlyo> cd /home/dorwlyo/Desktop/Linux
[11:10] <jeremejevs> AntiSol: don't know the right way, but I just opened the terminal, and noticed that nothing changes, if I swap "Monospaced 12" for "Dejavu Mono 12"
[11:10] <jeremejevs> or it could be "Ubuntu Mono 12"
[11:10] <jeremejevs> etc.
[11:10] <AntiSol> OK found it by simply switching to various mono fonts in the terminal
[11:10] <jeremejevs> haha
[11:10] <AntiSol> it's Bitstream vera sans mono
[11:11] <AntiSol> haha cool :)
[11:11] <AntiSol> great minds think alike ;)
[11:11] <marus> hello, i have lost a file from my ubuntu, is there a 100% to restore it?
[11:11] <rejit> AntiSol: sorry , i cant lead you to the exact directories coz i dont use ubuntu :P
[11:11] <yeats> marus: how did you "lose" the file?
[11:12] <AntiSol> rejit: all good I've found it, thanks :)
[11:12] <dorwlyo> rejit: anything else?
[11:13] <rejit> dorwlyo: you need to look for modswtich for your device
[11:13] <rejit> dorwlyo: you will have to configure the rules for the device manually
[11:13] <dorwlyo> what's that?
[11:13] <rejit> dorwlyo: lsusb will give you vendor id
[11:14] <rejit> dorwlyo: after you have inserted the device into your box
[11:14] <dorwlyo> and then?
[11:16] <AntiSol> ok so I've found the font file (/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera) and package that provides it (ttf-bitstream-vera) so i did 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-bitstream-vera' but no difference. Do you think rebooting/restarting X will help?
[11:16] <AXN> hey anyone know about installing ubuntu on a raid0 setup?
[11:16] <AXN> in terms of grub loader etc?
[11:17] <rejit> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/comm/usb-modeswitch dorwlyo : do you have this package
[11:17] <dorwlyo> rejit: I also tried sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
[11:17] <momomo> How do I setup thunderbird mail account with gmail ?
[11:17] <momomo> I have enabled imap on gmail settings but it keeps saying password is not correct!?
[11:17] <rejit> ok so you have it installed dorwlyo
[11:17] <AXN> hey anyone know much about raid0 ubuntu setups?
[11:18] <yeats> momomo: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail might help
[11:18] <dorwlyo> rejit: yep
[11:19] <AntiSol> very weird - I figured I'd try looking in xfce settings for the default monospace font and noticed that if I turn off antialiasing the zero character displays normally
[11:20] <momomo> yeats, it doesn't .. anyone have thunderbird setup with gmail ? what ingredient might I be missing here ?
[11:20] <yeats> momomo: I have it working with gmail
[11:20] <yeats> momomo: do you use 2-factor authentication for google/gmail?
[11:20] <hmp1768> Hi, I'm having a hard time getting the bell sound to work on 14.04, any advice please?
[11:20] <AntiSol> further, setting the sub-pixel order to anything other than "none" also makes the problem go away.
[11:20] <momomo> yeats, no, i don't .. that's what so wierd
[11:21] <momomo> yeats, here is some thread with people having similar issues: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/9Y1708Gewos/P7gV35B4hiYJ
[11:22] <dorwlyo> rejit: Can I do anything else?
[11:22] <yeats> momomo: wrong port for IMAP, maybe?
[11:23] <AntiSol> I'm going to set the subpixel order to RGB as a workaround and maybe file a bug with the xfce people.
[11:24] <AntiSol> thanks for your help everybody! :)
[11:24] <momomo> yeats, incoming: 993, outgoing: 465 .. ssl/tls .. what do you have?
[11:27] <marus> yeats: i lost it while cuting it from laptop to usb

[12:16] <rtps> xeon123: what's txt3?
[12:16] <xeon123> rtps, txt
[12:17] <bowlesa> why do you want to do that, xeon123

[12:19] <yeats> xeon123: from the cursory web search I just did - looks like Julius and Simon are your best bets - I think you should check out their support venues for help
[12:20] <xeon123> yeats, I have check. But I can't find a way to load an mp3 and get a txt.

[12:53] <MelRay> bekks: Yes sir
[12:53] <MelRay> Per recommendation when logging into the server
[12:53] <bekks> MelRay: "yes" is an invalid answer for a question containing "or".

[13:04] <Nikhil> Heya all, I have little problem in my ubuntu 14.1
[13:04] <EriC^^> Nikhil, ask away
[13:05] <Nikhil> when I press alt+tab it used to show me the apps which are currently running. But now I directly switch the app without show it on the screen. :/
[13:05] <Nikhil> but now it *
[13:06] <Nikhil> why does this happendd??
[13:06] <k1l_> Nikhil: what ubuntu exactly? what desktop?
[13:07] <EriC^^> Nikhil, does it happen if you try the guest account?
[13:07] <Nikhil> no, I didn't try that in guest account
[13:07] <darkslide> give it a shot
[13:08] <Nikhil> k
[13:08] <bazhang> Nikhil, gnome-shell?
[13:08] <bazhang> some of the alt tab plugins conflict
[13:09] <Nikhil> Its working fine in guest session
[13:10] <EriC^^> it's probably a conflicting setting or something, either track it down or just delete some .config files to get it working again
[13:10] <EriC^^> it's up to you
[13:10] <Nikhil> should i restart my system
[13:10] <bazhang> if in gnome-shell, disable the extenstion
[13:10] <the_drow> Hi guys I can't configure my startup applications. Every time I restart the new additions are deleted
[13:10] <EriC^^> the_drow, how are you configuring them?
[13:11] <bazhang> which shell is it Nikhil gnome-shell or unity
[13:11] <the_drow> I just open the startup applications window from dash and add them
[13:11] <Nikhil> how do I know that bazhang ?
[13:11] <EriC^^> the_drow, if you open it again do you still see it there?
[13:11] <EriC^^> ( without logging out or anything )
[13:11] <the_drow> yes
[13:12] <bazhang> Nikhil, unity has the launcher on the left side of the screen
[13:12] <EriC^^> ok is it added right now?
[13:12] <EriC^^> the_drow,
[13:12] <the_drow> Oh right it isn
[13:12] <Nikhil> yes its unity
[13:12] <the_drow> isn't
[13:12] <the_drow> You're right
[13:12] <the_drow> Is it a permissions issue or somethung?
[13:12] <Nikhil> So bazhang, whats your suggestion?
[13:13] <Nikhil> gtg<
[13:13] <Nikhil> thanks guys for helping me. Laters :)
[13:14] <EriC^^> the_drow, are you sure you're adding it correctly?
[13:14] <the_drow> yeh
[13:14] <EriC^^> the_drow, i think they get added to ~/.config/upstart or something
[13:14] <EriC^^> check the perms of the dir maybe
[13:14] <the_drow> EriC^^: It's empty
[13:15] <the_drow> .config/upstart/ is owned by my user
[13:15] <EriC^^> ok i think it
[13:15] <EriC^^> 's a different dir
[13:17] <EriC^^> the_drow, type find ~ ! -user <your user>
[13:17] <EriC^^> to see if any dirs aren't owned by you, i'll check which dir it's supposed to save to
[13:18] <EriC^^> the_drow, do you have ~/.config/autostart ?
[13:19] <the_drow> yeh
[13:19] <the_drow> owned by root
[13:19] <EriC^^> yeah that's the problem
[13:19] <EriC^^> chown it
[13:19] <EriC^^> also might as well check if any other dirs are owned too
[13:20] <the_drow> The find command is still running
[13:20] <EriC^^> ok cool
[13:20] <Abhijit> hello
[13:21] <Abhijit> i have lenovo laptop with i5 and amd radeon 2gb dedicated graphics card. how can i make sure that this graphics card is installed can be used by graphics intesive games? currently flightgear says it only got intel graphics card and i will not be able to view complex buildings. it just lands my plane on blue color. nothing else.
[13:21] <Abhijit> on ubuntu 14.10.
[13:22] <bekks> Abhijit: you have a hybrid graphics system.
[13:22] <bekks> !hybrid | Abhijit
[13:22] <bekks> Abhijit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics
[13:22] <Abhijit> bekks, ok. checking...
[13:23] <OerHeks> plane lands on sea?
[13:23] <Abhijit> OerHeks, no. just a blue color.
[13:29] <dbugger> HEy guys. Everytime I start Ubuntu the "Sound Recorder" is there to greet me. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?
[13:29] <EriC^^> dbugger, is it in the startup apps?
[13:29] <vlt> Hello. On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS a pip install process complains about a missing "libz". How to install that?
[13:29] <dbugger> EriC^^, I didnt even know that existed. Now I feel quite stupid for having made such a silly question... :$
[13:30] <jatt> which pip install process?
[13:30] <Abhijit> vlt, apt-cache search libz?
[13:31] <EriC^^> dbugger, nah
[13:31] <vlt> Abhijit: Returns a looong list. Which one is the libz?
[13:31] <Abhijit> vlt, what are you installing?
[13:31] <vlt> jatt: pip install textract
[13:31] <Tobbi> What do I do to prevent the 'different line endings' error when using the patch command?
[13:31] <vlt> The exact error message is "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz"
[13:32] <Abhijit> vlt, sudo apt-get install ld ??
[13:32] <jatt> ld is there :)
[13:33] <jatt> hm.
[13:33] <haza-w> Tobbi: Is that from DOS/Unix line ending mismatch?
[13:33] <haza-w> In which case, you might want consider using dos2unix(1) to convert the line endings
[13:33] <Abhijit> vlt, no idea. ask the project team.
[13:33] <Tobbi> haza-w, I will try.
[13:34] <haza-w> Tobbi: If you use file(1) to check the type of your files, it will tell you whether it uses CRLF (\r\n) line endings, which is the giveaway.
[13:34] <Tobbi> Ah, okay.
[13:35] <jatt> vlt: install zlib1g-dev
[13:35] <vlt> jatt: Thank you.
[13:35] <Tobbi> haza-w, If I use file, it just tells me unified diff output, ASCII text, nothing about line endings though.
[13:35] <haza-w> haz@mercury:~$ file test.unix test.dos
[13:35] <haza-w> test.unix: ASCII text
[13:35] <haza-w> test.dos:  ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
[13:36] <Tobbi> Okay...? Hmm...
[13:37] <haza-w> Tobbi: what about your target file(s)?
[13:37] <Tobbi> haza-w, I can check those as well, one momen.
[13:37] <Tobbi> t
[13:38] <Tobbi> haza-w, Okay, my target file has CSRF terminators.
[13:38] <Tobbi> *CRLF
[13:43] <haza-w> Tobbi: You can do whole-file CRLF to LF conversions easily with the fromdos(1) and todos(1) utils from the tofrodos package.
[13:43] <haza-w> $ fromdos my.file
[13:43] <Tobbi> Okay, I will do that.
[13:43] <haza-w> it will convert the file in-place
[13:44] <haza-w> probably easiest
[13:44] <haza-w> you can always convert it back with todos if you need to use it on a Windows system
[13:44] <Nikhil> EriC^^, After restarting my system everything is working fine :)
[13:44] <EriC^^> Nikhil, great :)
[13:45] <Nikhil> I want to create a launcher from desktop. But when I write the script it doesn't open. And tell due to security reasons we cannot open this.
[13:46] <popey> Ben64: debs may contain jars though.  gtuckerkellogg "dpkg -L <packagename> | grep jar"
[13:46] <popey> oh, bum, I was scrolled back, ignore that :)
[13:48] <marko> hello, do you know how I can make my screen lock from a cron job?
[13:48] <marko> this works when I type in the terminal /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -l
[13:49] <marko> but not if I put it in the cron job
[13:49] <marko> it worked in the past
[13:50] <EriC^^> marko, why are you using cron to lock it?
[13:51] <EriC^^> you could already set it in the brightness & lock settings
[13:52] <EriC^^> or it's not working?
[13:53] <marko> I want to let my child use the computer for one hour I am not at home, I have a system that changes the password back to one that he doesn't know.
[13:55] <haza-w> marko: http://www.linux-pam.org/Linux-PAM-html/sag-pam_time.html
[13:55] <haza-w> probably better than playing around with shadowfiles...
[14:03] <marko> interesting... but then I need to have a different user for him, and to fix a precise schedule... In my system: he asks to use for 1 hour, I or my wife removes a file in a network drive... the cron job notices and "plays with shadow files" as you say, it sleeps for one hour, then it copies the good shadow file back and locks the screen
[14:04] <marko> everything works fine except the screen locking
[14:04] <EriC^^> how old is he?
[14:05] <marko> 11
[14:05] <marko> he agrees that without this the temptation is too big to play...:-)
[14:06] <EriC^^> why dont you tell him if he flunks he gets grounded or something and he can manage himself
[14:09] <marko> I believe this system would be helpful for him. I don't like to mesure myself the time he spends using the computer. I don't want him adicted to video games.
[14:10] <marko> one hour is enough for his age
[14:11] <kal> Hi. I have "upstart: not found" in .xsession-errors. How to solve this in situation when this Ubuntu uses systemd not upstart?
[14:11] <EriC^^> in the long run he'd be better off though, also he's 11, if he isn't addicted to video games i'd be worrying
[14:12] <EriC^^> kal, which ubuntu are you using?
[14:12] <kal> EriC^^: 15.04 with systemd but guys on #ubuntu+1 see no solution for this issue.
[14:14] <k1l_> kal: 15.04 support oinly in #ubuntu+1 please. keep in mind its a development release still and bugs are to be expected.
[14:15] <lappbalsam> hi
[14:15] <kal> k1l_: Yeah, so it's better to find and repair bugs before final release comes :)
[14:17] <marko> what could be the difference of launching /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -l from the terminal or from cron? the user is the same? I checked also the environment variables
[14:18] <marko> the user is the same
[14:19] <marko> I have tried "export $(dbus-launch)" before the command
[14:19] <marko> and also "export DISPLAY=:0.0"
[14:22] <Abraaokxkkd> bom dia
[14:22] <Abraaokxkkd> tem alguem ai bom em MD5?
[14:23] <k1l_> !br | Abraaokxkkd
[14:23] <slowest> Hi, setting up a ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a virtual server at aws ec2. I'd like it to start x automatically and run a job. As a virtual server has no screen my plan was to use x11vnc to control it. But startx wont start. It just gives me "no screens found". Any way I can get it to start without detecting graphiccard/screens?
[14:23] <marko> I have also tried "/usr/bin/dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.ScreenSaver /org/gnome/ScreenSaver org.gnome.ScreenSaver.Lock > /home/marko/out 2>&1"
[14:24] <marko> I see nothing in /home/marko/out
[14:31] <rejit> slowest: all i did was add two lines to vncserver conf and it worked
[14:32] <slowest> rejit: do you know what 2 lines? :)
[14:32] <AXN> Hey guys, when secure boot is disabled, I recieve "booting in insecure mode", is there any way to disable secure boot and hide the message??
[14:33] <rejit> to .vnc/xstartup. just add  exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[14:33] <EriC^^> AXN, depends on your bios i guess, you don't need to disable secure boot btw
[14:34] <AXN> well I need to disable it cause I'm dual booting WIN 7, as far as I know you need to disable it for 7 correct?
[14:34] <rejit> I wish to know how secure people have been after the introduction of UEFI
[14:34] <AXN> lol rejit
[14:35] <EriC^^> AXN, no cause you'll be booting grub anyways
[14:35] <EriC^^> win7 is irrelevant
[14:35] <AXN> i thought so
[14:35] <AXN> so grub will do the win 7 booting correct?
[14:35] <AXN> i haven't installed 7 yet
[14:36] <EriC^^> AXN, well, i guess so, it could chainload it if it has to, and if win7 has uefi it would just boot it's efi file
[14:36] <AXN> so just install 7 alongside Ubuntu, do grub-update (I think)
[14:36] <EriC^^> see how it goes i guess
[14:37] <AXN> and that should be sweet Yeh?
[14:37] <EriC^^> well if you install win7 in uefi mode you'd have to use a live usb to chroot and then grub-install then update-grub
[14:38] <AXN> Why's that? Ive already got grub installed, I just need it to recognise WIN 7?
[14:38] <AXN> I thought you just install and refresh
[14:38] <EriC^^> cause if you install win7 in uefi mode it will rewrite the efibootmgr and set it's efi to boot first
[14:39] <EriC^^> if you install it in bios mode, and you boot in uefi mode usually, then ubuntu would boot, and then you would have to manually chainload win7 i guess, cause grub would be looking for efi files ( i think )
[14:39] <AXN> hmm okay, so what if I install 7 in a standard way? Cause I'm installing 7 on one HDD, and Ubuntu on another
[14:40] <EriC^^> are you in ubuntu right now?
[14:40] <EriC^^> nevermind
[14:40] <rejit> is wubi still available?
[14:40] <EriC^^> just try installing win7, i guess it'll install in uefi mode since that's what you're booting in
[14:40] <EriC^^> rejit, yeah but it's not recommended at all
[14:41] <htqp> wubi is not supported since 13.04 IIRC
[14:41] <EriC^^> AXN, then you'll do the live usb chroot thing
[14:41] <AXN> I've got Ubuntu 14.10 installed, secure boot enabled
[14:41] <ilovepotatoes> Hello everyone, I'm using a VPN thought openvpn but I noticed on http://ipleak.net that my ipv6 is leaking, how is that possible ?
[14:42] <marko> fyi: it worked with dm-tool lock, plus setting the needed env variable. thanks everyone!
[14:42] <cfhowlett> AXN, Ubuntu > virtualbox + windows?
[14:42] <AXN> plan is I'll install WIN 7 as UEFI, once I've done that what's the next step? And can I also use that 'burg' app to make the dual boot look nicer? :P
[14:42] <AXN> Prefer to have separate haha
[14:43] <mullersa> hello
[14:43] <AXN> for the sake of it
[14:43] <EriC^^> AXN, you'll need a live usb, and to chroot and reinstall grub
[14:43] <mullersa> is it allowed to ask here ?
[14:43] <EriC^^> !grub | AXN check the reinstall grub part
[14:43] <cfhowlett> !ask | mullersa
[14:44] <tonph> hi how can i solve this error with firefox and java
[14:44] <tonph> security: JSS is not configured
[14:44] <AXN> thanks man I'll do that, and once that's done that should work seemlessly with secure boot Yeh?
[14:44] <EriC^^> yeah
[14:44] <AXN> can I also install 'burg'?
[14:44] <EriC^^> i've no idea what that is
[14:45] <tonph> I followed this also - http://www.howtoinstall.co/en/ubuntu/precise/universe/libjss-java/
[14:45] <htqp> (not relevant to this issue, but FYI bios-booted GRUB cannot chainload UEFI, and vice-versa https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Supported-kernels )
[14:45] <EriC^^> AXN, is it a bootloader like grub?
[14:45] <AXN> I think so
[14:45] <cristian_c> EriC^^, I think it's a gui for the grub
[14:45] <AXN> ill link ya
[14:45] <EriC^^> AXN, you can set grub's background and other stuff if you want
[14:46] <EriC^^> cristian_c, ah i see
[14:46] <cristian_c> but it's not supported, it's not located in the ubuntu repository
[14:46] <cristian_c> so...
[14:47] <mullersa> I'm using a 40" TV as a second monitor and the system detected it as 42". this causes edges cut off. is there any idea how to solve it. i'm using ubuntu 14.10
[14:47] <cfhowlett> you break it, YOU fix it
[14:47] <cristian_c> lol
[14:47] <Mr-Potter> Hi there, my keyboard's playing up in Firefox and typing pretty much everything as "d". Yet here in xchat it's behaving impeccably, what do I do?
[14:47] <EriC^^> mullersa, you can set custom resolutions if you want
[14:47] <Mr-Potter> BTW I'm using 14.10 methink
[14:47]  * Mr-Potter thinks
[14:48] <mullersa> EriC^^ ,  i tried everything , but no use
[14:48] <EriC^^> htqp, cool, good to know!
[14:48] <htqp> ;)
[14:49] <AXN> sorry I disconnected, what would you guys recommend doing?
[14:50] <AXN> if I install this loader and it happens to not work, I can just install grub instead ye?
[14:50] <EriC^^> AXN, yeah, it should boot to windows when you install it, then reinstall grub as per link
[14:51] <fra_dolcino2> how can i identify from live cd, usb direcotry where i must copy some backup files?
[14:51] <AXN> I just do this Yeh
[14:51] <AXN> !grub
[14:51] <cfhowlett> axn plan for it to not work.  it's not supported here.  you break it YOU fix it.
[14:51] <rejit> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/yMKivvCS
[14:51] <AXN> i understand cfhowlett

[14:52] <EriC^^> AXN, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Reinstalling_GRUB_2
[14:52] <AXN> just curious if it's likely to break my whole install
[14:52] <EriC^^> ( follow the via chroot method )
[14:52] <AXN> which isn't a big deal anyways
[14:53] <AXN> whats chroot btw? I'm not a full bottle on Linux
[14:54] <EriC^^> it's changing the root of your filesystem, in this case to your installation (from the live usb's one)
[14:54] <Guest74492> is there anybody here who has experience with flex and bison ?
[14:54] <rejit> yes Guest74492
[14:54] <AXN> ahh, so I change root almost like cd'ing, and then when I install grub it's installing to the installation instead of the live-use correct?
[14:55] <Guest74492> i am trying to make a parser for simple calculator
[14:55] <EriC^^> yup
[14:55] <Guest74492> but i am getting errors
[14:55] <EriC^^> that's it
[14:55] <AXN> sick man thanks for your help
[14:55] <rejit> what sort of errors Guest74492
[14:55] <EriC^^> no problem
[14:55] <Guest74492>  error: integer out of range: ‘$2’
[14:55] <AXN> are you gonna be on much longer? I'll give it a go shortly and see how it goes
[14:55] <ihsw> trying to convert an mp4 to an mp3, ffmpeg is failing with "Output file #0 does not contain any stream" ... what's the deal?
[14:55] <Guest74492> like this
[14:56] <EriC^^> yeah, ok give it a shot
[14:56] <Guest74492> here it is my homework , http://s5.dosya.tc/server/hSUgm3/odev.l.zip.html
[14:57] <AXN> kk I'll let you know how it goes
[14:57] <EriC^^> ok

[15:17] <Nikhil> alt+F7 brings me to guest session
[15:17] <EriC^^> Nikhil, were you able to login to tty1?
[15:18] <Nikhil> you mean the command line? then Yes
[15:18] <EriC^^> ok
[15:18] <Nikhil> I started using ubuntu from day before yesterday
[15:19] <EriC^^> Nikhil, ok, does the login screen restart? or does it say wrong password?
[15:19] <Nikhil> it restarts
[15:19] <EriC^^> ok, type ls -l /home/<your user>/.Xauthority
[15:20] <EriC^^> first press ctrl+alt+f1, login, type that, then press alt+f7 to get back to the guest session
[15:20] <EriC^^> no need to logout from it
[15:20] <Nikhil> ok
[15:21] <EriC^^> Nikhil, just check who owns the file, it should say -rw--.... <your user> <your user>
[15:23] <ntsp> I want to store a 2TB tar archive for a long time, I am thinking of signing it with pgp to ensure integrity, how good is pgps efficiency on signing verifying?(will it take a few hours or days nonstop?)
[15:24] <Nikhil> EriC^^, it say root root not my username
[15:24] <bekks> ntsp: It will use one single core only - and there are much faster ways of creating a checksum to maintain integrity.
[15:25] <ntsp> bekks any recommendations?
[15:25] <bekks> md5sum, sha256sum.
[15:25] <EriC^^> Nikhil, ok, type sudo chown <your user>: ~/.Xauthority
[15:26] <ntsp> bekks md5 is considered "broken", not sure how long 256 will take to checksum 2Tbs on my CPU :P
[15:26] <Nikhil> ok
[15:26] <bekks> ntsp: it will take less time than pgp.
[15:27] <bekks> ntsp: And why is it considered to be broken? Just for the esotherical chance of creating a collision?
[15:27] <ntsp> bekks yea collisions are created easily with md5, most are switching to sha1 now
[15:27] <Nikhil> EriC^^, yes I did it
[15:27] <Nikhil> but no output
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: this is why gksudo exist. Trusty and later you can use sudo for GUI applications but gksudo is needed to avoid the issue you are having.
[15:28] <bekks> ntsp: then use sha1, which is faster than pgp, too.
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: no output = success
[15:28] <Nikhil> oh, YaY
[15:28] <Nikhil> now will I be able to log in?
[15:29] <EriC^^> Nikhil, ok, if you need to use gui apps with privileges use gksu instead of sudo, gksu gedit etc.
[15:29] <EriC^^> Nikhil, yeah, also don't use sudo startx
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: try it ;)
[15:29] <Nikhil> yea, ok :) I'll not use startx
[15:31] <Nikhil> EriC^, I'm on my main account, Thank you :)
[15:31] <EriC^^> Nikhil, great, no problem :)
[15:32] <Nikhil> btw what actually happend?
[15:32] <EriC^^> Nikhil, if you used sudo startx it changes the owner of the file to root
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: running GUI applications with sudo is not appropriate
[15:32] <EriC^^> or as ActionParsnip said
[15:32] <labsin> (Btw, iso sudo/gksu gedit, you might want to use sudo -e <file>. It launches the editor without su privilages with a temporary file and copies it afterwards)
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: it makes the file you chowned be root owned and causes the issue. If you use gksudo for GUI applications then it doesn't break things.
[15:33] <Nikhil> so from now I must stop using sudo, right?
[15:34] <bekks> ntsp: For graphica applications, yes. For non-graphical, no.
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: no, use sudo when needed but if you want to run gedit or nautilus (for example) use gksudo. kdesu is the KDE equivalent
[15:34] <Nikhil> gksu also does the same thing like sudo apt-get install ...
[15:35] <Nikhil> ok, I got it
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: yes, you can use gksudo there if you wish. It's for running GUI applications as root
[15:35] <Nikhil> for GUI gksu, for non GUI sudo, correct?
[15:35] <ntsp> bekks wrong person :p
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: exactly :-)
[15:36] <Nikhil> for some time I thought of quitting ubuntu
[15:36] <Prezident> And change to what Nikhil ?
[15:36] <Nikhil> Linux mint
[15:37] <Nikhil> or windows 8
[15:37] <Nikhil> but now its ok
[15:37] <ntsp> 5MB syslog file, is that normal? o.O
[15:37] <ntsp> hasn't been rotated since initial install
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Nikhil: you will get the same issue in Mint.
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> ntsp: what uptime do you have?
[15:38] <ntsp> ActionParsnip 30 mins, its a server/media player
[15:38] <ntsp> just booted it up to sync a few files
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> ntsp: I'd give it a read, see why it's been written to so much
[15:39] <ntsp> ActionParsnip its mostly boot logs, has never been rotated for some reason
[15:40] <Kage`> 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?
[15:40] <Guest74492> who has flex and bison experience here ?
[15:40] <Guest74492> who has flex and bison experience here ?
[15:41] <cristian_c> lol
[15:41] <ntsp> !repeat | Guest74492
[15:42] <nak_> hey all, quick question. after a restart, at the login screen, the colors seems to be inverted or something, like bright neon. This only happens intermittently, meaning sometimes it doesn't happen. Sometimes though, it persists into the desktop session as well. Any ideas?
[15:42] <Junnko> Sounds like a monitor problem not a distro prob.
[15:42] <ntsp> nak_ are you using vga?
[15:42] <ntsp> if yes, check the cable :)
[15:42] <nak_> dual link dvi
[15:42] <Junnko> can you connect the screen to another rig?
[15:42] <nak_> yeah, it is
[15:42] <nak_> no problem there
[15:43] <Junnko> Hmmm, are you using intel, Nvidia or ATI?
[15:43] <nak_> also, i dont see this issue in 15.04 daily builds
[15:43] <Junnko> or something else?
[15:43] <nak_> ati
[15:43] <nak_> but an older one, 6850
[15:43] <AXN> EriC^: just having a go at it now eric, was watching ESL One Katowice lol
[15:43] <Junnko> Are you using ATI's new driver setup or the old uh.. whatever it's called (the FOSS one)
[15:43] <nak_> i think the foss one
[15:44] <nak_> i'll try installing fglrx
[15:44] <Junnko> good call but srsly, double tripple check that cable first because your getting into a project there..
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest73265: I've used Flex in the past
[15:44] <EriC^> AXN: ok, cool
[15:44] <AXN> !grub this one ye?
[15:44] <Guest74492> can you help me
[15:44] <AXN> !grub
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> Guest73265: what is the issue
[15:45] <AXN> EriC^:mind linking me the correct one again eric?
[15:45] <Guest74492> here it is question , http://i.imgur.com/CPlHXlS.png , my bison and flex files also , https://paste.kde.org/px3a8ng5r , https://paste.kde.org/phydxgsym
[15:45] <Guest74492> i am getting error: integer out of range: ‘$3’
[15:46] <EriC^> AXN: sure, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest73265: I'd ask in #c
[15:47] <AXN> thanks eric
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> Guest73265: I thought you meant the media streaming application
[15:47] <EriC^> np
[15:47] <Guest74492> whats that i dont know
[15:48] <haza-w> Besides creating a fake uname wrapper, does anyone know a way to make uname -r return the kernel version of the chrooted OS rather than the host OS?
[15:48] <AXN> EriC^:I'm unsure where to start cause it mentions LVM etc, I'm just using a single disk array atm, single drives, one with windows one with ubuntu
[15:48] <Junnko> That sounds a little fishy haza, tried one of the security chans?
[15:48] <AXN> EriC^:what's my starting point?
[15:49] <desrt> once you start using bind mounts, 'df' gets some pretty silly output
[15:49] <htqp> haza-w: I don't think it's possible, because uname -r asks directly the kernel (function uname())
[15:49] <Junnko> man uname
[15:49] <desrt> it seems that it opens /etc/mtab and stats each mountpoint in there, and refuses to show duplicate entries for multiple mountpoints with the same st_dev
[15:49] <desrt> unfortunately, it picks the -last- one
[15:49] <haza-w> Junnko: Not really. Trying to customise a live CD image in a chrooted environment, and some of the packages I'm adding include kernel modules.
[15:49] <desrt> so instead of seeing the information for /, i see it for /var/lib/schroot/mount/distcc/tmp
[15:49] <EriC^^> AXN, start at step 6
[15:49] <AXN> thanks man
[15:49] <desrt> anyone have any ideas about how to fix that?
[15:50] <htqp> haza-w: in other words, uname -r does not read the files directly
[15:50] <EriC^^> AXN, get the name of your ubuntu installation, and your efi partition too
[15:50] <htqp> so it has no means to know it's in a chroot
[15:50] <EriC^^> AXN, then sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt , and sudo mount /dev/sdxY /mnt/boot/efi (for the efi partition)
[15:50] <haza-w> Yes, thanks htqp, Junnko
[15:51] <AXN> EriC^:so in step 6 I'm only determining the path of my drive correct? I can skip that step if I already have it? /dev/sda
[15:52] <EriC^^> AXN, yeah in step 6 you need to get the name of the partitions
[15:52] <AXN> EriC^:ahh I gotta do the efi one too
[15:52] <EriC^^> AXN, you need the main partition, sda2 or sda3 etc.
[15:52] <AXN> EriC^:are you gonna be on much longer cause I might need help with this lmao
[15:53] <EriC^^> and the efi partition which is most likely sda1 , check the filesystem type for clues, it should be fat32 and about 300mb or something
[15:53] <EriC^^> AXN, no problem, yeah
[15:53] <AXN> ye ofc, okay cheers man appreciate it :)
[15:53] <EriC^^> no problem :)
[15:53] <arcsky> hey how do i write an .iso file to my usb drive as bootable ?
[15:54] <bazhang> arcsky, which iso
[15:54] <bekks> arcsky: dd if=/your/file.iso of=/dev/sdX
[15:54] <haza-w> bekks: That doesn't necessarily make it bootable.
[15:54] <bekks> haza-w: Of course it doesnt, because the ISO itself is bootable.
[15:54] <carli> ciao
[15:55] <arcsky> ubutnu desktop iso
[15:55] <bekks> arcsky: just use the dd command above.
[15:55] <arcsky> bekks: thanks man
[15:55] <AXN> EriC^:any experience with CSM eric? im pretty sure I gotta run uefi with csm to get the install going, not sure if I'll need it to boot windows?
[15:56] <htqp> desrt: no idea, but you may want to read the info page -- info coreutils 'df invocation'
[15:56] <EriC^^> AXN, i think CSM is a compatibility mode that uefi uses to work like bios
[15:56] <AXN> hmmk
[15:56] <htqp> quote:  "With no arguments, `df' reports the space used and available on all currently mounted file systems (of all types).  Otherwise, `df' reports on the file system containing each argument FILE."
[15:56] <EriC^^> AXN, if you can't install win7 in uefi mode, i think you'd have to reinstall ubuntu in legacy mode and windows too
[15:57] <AXN> any recommendations for making the win 7 usb?
[15:57] <EriC^^> ( probably best to install windows first then ubuntu )
[15:57] <htqp> no sorry, I wanted to quote: For bind mounts and without arguments, `df' only outputs the statistics for that device with the shortest mount point name in the list of file systems (MTAB), i.e., it hides duplicate entries, unless the `-a' option is specified.
[15:57] <AXN> I've done it before and was working, needed to install ubuntu and decided to go fresh
[15:57] <bekks> AXN: Good question for ##windows :)
[15:57] <AXN> :/ sorry haha
[15:59] <lasko> Hello Hello
[15:59] <AXN> hopefully someone replies there haha
[16:00] <hazem> hallo guten abend vor alles, ich bin neus in ubuntu und das ist meine eŕste tag hiere
[16:00] <lasko> !de | hazem
[16:00] <AXN> EriC^:technically I can get ubuntu and windows working in legacy mode but every time I boot I get this annoying raid management setup screen popping up before windows loads
[16:00] <Na3iL>  hey folks! who'd any innovative idea as a project to contribute on Ubuntu?
[16:00] <EriC^> AXN: never tried this but have a look http://www.blogsolute.com/create-windows-8-usb-bootable-pendrive-uefi-boot/25988/
[16:00] <lasko> !contribute | Na3iL
[16:00] <AXN> EriC^:and it would sometimes hang
[16:00] <hazem> hi
[16:00] <bekks> AXN: So disable your fake raid, and install Windows without it.
[16:01] <hazem> so ican speak english no probleam
[16:01] <AXN> dont need raid anymore bekks
[16:01] <EriC^> ah thats win8
[16:01] <Na3iL> lasko, ??
[16:01] <lasko> !ask | hazem
[16:01] <bekks> AXN: But you are still using it. :)
[16:01] <AXN> i decided to break the raid and just do one drive for ubuntu one for win
[16:01] <lasko> Na3iL: If you have something to contribute then that link is likely the best srouce of answering your question
[16:01] <AXN> have them as single drives, save the hassle
[16:02] <bekks> AXN: And your Windows still has the RAID drivers in use.
[16:02] <hazem> i have acer aspire one it was very sloley with win7, so qfte
[16:02] <AXN> im doing a complete fresh install bekks haha
[16:02] <Na3iL> ty lasko but am just need some new ideas, I already saw the link.
[16:02] <hazem> now i have xubntu
[16:02] <AXN> i broke the raid, single drives, installed ubuntu on one drive, installing win 7 now, gonna fix grub and should be good
[16:02] <hazem> but it still slowley
[16:03] <AXN> bekks: should work ye?
[16:03] <cristian_c> raid metadata
[16:03] <bekks> AXN: Yes.
[16:03] <cristian_c> dmraid
[16:03] <EriC^^> Na3iL, if you want to contribute to projects that are already in development, you can install the package how-can-i-help
[16:03] <hazem> alooo  any one here
[16:03] <lasko> Na3iL: hehe I understand -- If you've visited that link then you would have noted the various projects to which you could contribute, but if you have a new idea then I would first suggest one of the various mailing lists to talk about it .
[16:04] <arcsky> bekks: do i need to format it before?
[16:04] <AXN> bekks: any ideas if you can disable the  "booting in insecure mode?"
[16:04] <AXN> EriC^: ^^^
[16:04] <Na3iL> hmm ty lasko ^^ , EriC^^ thanks :)
[16:05] <bekks> AXN: Depends on your specific hardware.
[16:05] <cortex> hello
[16:05] <EriC^^> Na3iL, no problem :)
[16:05] <AXN> still need the raid drivers i think
[16:06] <AXN> bekks: uefi with CSM = win7 working fine but ubuntu kicks up a fuss about insecure booting, uefi with secureboot ubutnu works fine, win7 i dont think will boot
[16:06] <AXN> even with secureboot off^
[16:07] <bekks> AXN: Whats "CSM"?
[16:08] <bekks> AXN: Windows 7 has np problems  using secureboot, as well.
[16:08] <htqp> bekks: CSM = Compatibility Support Module = BIOS boot on UEFI platform
[16:08] <bekks> htqp: thanks for the explanation.
[16:08] <htqp> aka "legacy mode" on some machines
[16:10] <htqp> AXN: depending on your needs, you may want to run win7 in a virtual machine inside linux
[16:10] <AXN> Ye I'd prefer to run ubuntu inside windows but thats a last resort, i would love to have a clean dual boot setup :P
[16:11] <AXN> so windows 7 has no issues using secureboot? you certain?
[16:11] <AXN> htqp: can you confirm? or bekks?
[16:12] <OerHeks> win7 has no uefi issues AFAIK. then again, check ##windows for sure
[16:12] <OerHeks> *or call your local vendor
[16:12] <jhutchins> AXN: Secure Boot was introduced with 7 iirc.  ##windows
[16:13] <onofrio> ciao
[16:13] <onofrio> !list
[16:13] <cristian_c> lol
[16:14] <htqp> !it | onofrio
[16:14] <AXN> installing 7 now
[16:15] <AXN> see how we go I guess, I know how to get win 7 back on worst case scenario anyways
[16:15] <AXN> win 7 worked fine with uefi csm
[16:15] <jhutchins> AXN: Looks like I'm wrong, it's 8+
[16:15] <bcvery1> I am trying to remove all partitions from an SD card, when I delete the partition in GNOME-disks I get the error: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[16:15] <AXN> ya just as I thought ^
[16:15] <jhutchins> AXN: 7 does work fine with uefi.
[16:15] <AXN> just not secureboot correct?
[16:15] <jhutchins> AXN: Probably.  I haven't actually used windows since 2004.
[16:16] <AXN> If I remember correctly I needed to boot into CSM, any ideas if I can remove that "booting in insecure mode" message?
[16:16] <AXN> if so I can get everything working as it should
[16:17] <jhutchins> AXN: The poing of secureboot is to prevent you from installing other OSs.
[16:17] <cristian_c> lol
[16:17] <AXN> The point of it is to prevent the execution of arbitrary code at the boot level lol
[16:17] <jhutchins> Seriously, that's why Microsoft developed it.
[16:18] <AXN> i guess so lol
[16:18] <jhutchins> AXN: Arbitrary being Linux.
[16:18] <AXN> but secureboot works fine with linux
[16:18] <AXN> just not 7
[16:18] <AXN> LOL
[16:19] <jhutchins> AXN: It works with Ubuntu because Cannonical waved money at them, and there were anti-trust considerations they avoided by accepting it.
[16:19] <AXN> fair enough
[16:19] <jhutchins> AXN: Microsoft's policies evolve with the environment and with which team is ascendent in management at the time.
[16:19] <AXN> any ideas if I can remove that message? the insecure boot one?
[16:19] <jhutchins> AXN: Teh googles know.
[16:20] <AXN> hmm, OS install complete, moment of truth awaits
[16:20] <cristian_c> lol
[16:20] <jhutchins> AXN: Reinstalling with it disabled would probably fix it.
[16:21] <AXN> reinstalling ubuntu with CSM?
[16:21] <jhutchins> AXN: There's probably a smarter way though.
[16:21] <AXN> and less time consuming^
[16:22] <AXN> this is such a hassle just so satisfy my OCD
[16:22] <AXN> to*
[16:23] <htqp> if a company wants to prevent rootkits, s/he will develop a non-broken, open source permission system -- oh wait, we already have it on linux
[16:24] <AXN> lol
[16:25] <bekks> AXN: You can use Win7 and Ubuntu without CSM and with secure boot enabled.
[16:25] <htqp> if a company wants to ensure that the root has not compromised and blah blah, it will develop a verifying technology - oh wait, we already have it on linux, it's called dm.verity
[16:25] <AXN> bekks: certain? I'll give it a try now, anyone remember how to get grub to recognise new OS's? grub-update or something?
[16:27] <AXN> bekks: invalid signature detected when trying to boot win7
[16:27] <EriC^> bekks: i just checked seems win7 and secure boot dont work
[16:27] <EriC^> AXN
[16:27] <AXN> bekks: unless we use grub to boot win7?
[16:27] <AXN> whats the command to refresh grubs OS's?
[16:27] <AXN> grub-update?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> AXN: sudo update-grub
[16:27] <AXN> thx
[16:29] <julio_> joo
[16:29] <bcvery1> I am trying to remove all partitions from an SD card, when I delete the partition in GNOME-disks I get the error: Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!
[16:31] <htqp> bcvery1: open GParted, choose the SD card in the top-right menu, then open menu Devices >> Create partition table
[16:31] <htqp> FYI 'msdos' means MBR
[16:32] <Tracy> Hello all
[16:33] <AXN> Invalid signature detected it says, (never mind fixed it)
[16:33] <Tracy> I have a question can anyone help me ?
[16:33] <bcvery1> htqp, thanks, done- second problem, it's a 64Gb card, but I can only see 29Gb on it
[16:33] <daftykins> Tracy: sure, ask away on one line with detail please
[16:33] <AXN> as far as I know ubuntu with shim have a few different levels of checking the boot loaders etc, like 2 loaders run
[16:34] <Lord_Fark_II> wayland rulez
[16:34] <Tracy> I have a isniron 1521 wiht 14.04 cant get the wirless see it at all
[16:35] <htqp> bcvery1: no idea
[16:35] <bcvery1> htqp, ok, thanks for your previous help
[16:35] <AXN> EriC^: after installing win7, grub is running perfectly fine lol, I can boot into ubuntu really easily
[16:35] <AXN> EriC^: but I can't launch win7 through grub for some reason
[16:36] <EriC^^> AXN, ok, type sudo parted -l
[16:36] <jhutchins> Tracy: ifconfig -a, lspci, dmessage | less
[16:36] <Lord_Fark_II> mir's going to be the end of ubuntu
[16:36] <EriC^^> and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[16:36] <AXN> kk whats that do?
[16:37] <OerHeks> !fud | Lord_Fark_II
[16:37] <EriC^^> AXN, it lists the disks and partitions
[16:37] <jhutchins> AXN: Try running update-grub
[16:37] <bazhang> take that elsewhere Lord_Fark_II
[16:37] <htqp> bcvery1: cat /sys/block/sdX/size
[16:37] <AXN> EriC^: kk
[16:38] <EriC^^> AXN, yeah probably best to run sudo update-grub and see if it picks up windows
[16:38] <EriC^^> as jhutchins said
[16:38] <htqp> bcvery1: if that's wrong, buy a new card. It's the size that the kernel sees, there is nothing lower-level than that
[16:38] <AXN> jhutchins: already did dude, doesnt wanna boot, it picks it up and shows it in grub but errors out when it tries to boot
[16:38] <bcvery1> htqp: 56752128
[16:38] <EriC^^> AXN, can you pastebin the contents of grep -A20 menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[16:39] <Lord_Fark_II> bazhang: you know its true babe
[16:39] <bazhang> Lord_Fark_II, offtopic, just stop
[16:39] <AXN> kk sure thing
[16:39] <AXN> I just put that paste on paste.ubuntu btw
[16:40] <AXN> kk ill do that too

[16:40] <AXN> 2 secs
[16:40] <bcvery1> htqp: not sure how to translate that to something meaningful
[16:40] <AXN> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10604757
[16:40] <AXN> EriC^:
[16:41] <AXN> EriC^: and whats the other command you want me to run?
[16:42] <EriC^^> AXN, grep -A20 menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[16:43] <AXN> EriC^: kk whats that gonna do?
[16:43] <EriC^^> AXN, what does it say when you boot win7?
[16:43] <AXN> i gotta check it again I forgot lol
[16:43] <Tracy> try it nothing happened
[16:43] <AXN> says something about not being able to load the image
[16:43] <EriC^^> unable to load image?
[16:44] <AXN> something like that
[16:44] <AXN> kk running that command now
[16:44] <AXN> ye?
[16:44] <EriC^^> ok
[16:44] <pavlos> Tracy, lspic -nn will show the id of the wifi
[16:45] <EriC^^> AXN, is the error from grub?
[16:45] <Tracy> ok
[16:45] <pavlos> Tracy, then we can look up on the Net, support for this wifi
[16:45] <EriC^^> AXN, did you try disabling secure boot?
[16:45] <pavlos> Tracy, lspci -nn will show the id of the wifi
[16:45] <pavlos> sorry
[16:46] <AXN> EriC^:pm'd you the link, got it?
[16:46] <cristian_c> lol
[16:47] <EriC^^> AXN, yeah
[16:47] <EriC^^> AXN, did you try disabling secure boot?
[16:48] <AXN> I haven't yet, I'll try it now but if I do I get that message from shim I think, saying something about "booting in insecure mode"
[16:48] <Lord_Fark_II> so how do i install wayland on ubunu
[16:48] <EriC^^> AXN, how do you know it's from shim? not the bios?
[16:48] <AXN> read up about it
[16:49] <AXN> pretty sure its shim
[16:49] <EriC^^> AXN, you can always use grubx64.efi instead of shimx64.efi if it's saying that
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> !wayland
[16:49] <AXN> I can?
[16:49] <EriC^^> yeah
[16:49] <AXN> i dunno how to do that lmao
[16:49] <jhutchins> !mir
[16:49] <EriC^^> AXN, try disabling secure boot first and see if it works
[16:50] <EriC^^> AXN, you just set the efibootmgr to use grubx64.efi
[16:50] <pavlos> Tracy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2214110
[16:50] <AXN> btw the launch says "/endenite pathtoimage error connaot load image"
[16:51] <AXN> EriC^: something like that^ what should I try from here, turn off secureboot ye?
[16:52] <EriC^^> AXN, yeah give it a shot
[16:52] <Lord_Fark_II> oh ok so how do i install wayland
[16:52] <AXN> kk trying now
[16:53] <jhutchins> Either it's not pointing at the windows boot image or the boot image is bad.
[16:53] <AXN> "booting in insecure mode" in a small unscaled window
[16:53] <Lord_Fark_II> in current gen ybuntu
[16:53] <AXN> win 7 kinda worked
[16:53] <AXN> it got furhte than it did before
[16:54] <AXN> its showing evidence of booting, maybe ill try csm
[16:54] <Tracy> I put the code in the termial and it goes scolls down i dont know how to read it
[16:54] <EriC^^> AXN, it's been installed in uefi mode, there's an efi partition and everything
[16:54] <EriC^^> AXN, give it a shot though, what the heck
[16:54] <AXN> lol
[16:54] <AXN> i did a uefi install of win 7
[16:54] <Pythonideus> I just tried to start my VM for WordPress and got the following errors: http://pastebin.com/wzCuzYYz. It says the file can't be found but I just looked at my harddrive in the folder manager and I can see the file sitting there. Can someone help me?
[16:55] <AXN> okay
[16:55] <AXN> win7 boots
[16:55] <EriC^^> interesting
[16:55] <AXN> csm = win 7 and ubuntu boots
[16:55] <AXN> but i get that message about insecure mode
[16:55] <Tracy> ok going there to try
[16:55] <AXN> I never needed to reinstall grub btw
[16:55] <EriC^^> AXN, so you get grub now? and win7 boots?
[16:55] <pavlos> Tracy, one of the lines of lspci -nn will show the wifi adapter. Can you show that line?
[16:56] <AXN> i have grub and win 7 boots
[16:56] <EriC^^> ok :D
[16:56] <AXN> lol
[16:56] <AXN> now how do I get rid of this nooby message
[16:56] <Pythonideus> Nevermind, I opened it without using the terminal and it worked fine :)
[16:56] <AXN> "booting in insecure mode"
[16:56] <jhutchins> AXN: google.
[16:56] <AXN> jhutchins: the only solution I've seen is to enable secureboot, which I cannot do
[16:57] <EriC^^> AXN, maybe there's an option in the bios, like secureboot warning on/off
[16:57] <EriC^^> or something
[16:57] <AXN> I think thats to do with shim though?
[16:57] <vibedigital> hello i'm trying  to redirect one url "globo.com" to "google.com" in squid
[16:57] <AXN> thats not a secureboot messsage cause I've seen it
[16:57] <vibedigital>  but seems i'm doing something wrong in the conf file
[16:57] <EriC^^> AXN, you could try using grubx64.efi
[16:57] <vibedigital> my squid.conf http://pastebin.com/94jb1mFM
[16:58] <AXN> how do I do that man?
[16:58] <AXN> difficult?
[16:58] <EriC^^> it's one command
[16:58] <EriC^^> very easy
[16:58] <Lord_Fark_II> jhutchins: so how do u install wayland
[16:58] <vibedigital> someone can help me find what is wrong?
[16:59] <AXN> kk, how do I do?
[16:59] <AXN> EriC^:
[16:59] <Lord_Fark_II> !wayland ubuntu
[16:59] <EriC^^> pastebin sudo parted -l first
[17:00] <AXN> kk
[17:00] <AXN> i did
[17:00] <AXN> I sent you link
[17:00] <AXN> thats the first link i sent you
[17:00] <EriC^^> yeah, do it again just in case the naming changed or something
[17:01] <AXN> kk
[17:01] <EriC^^> AXN, also pastebin efibootmgr -v
[17:01] <EriC^^> AXN, you can install pastebinit it makes it really easy to pastebin
[17:01] <AXN> kk
[17:01] <EriC^^> just sudo efibootmgr -v | pastebinit and it spits out a link
[17:02] <AXN> ya im using 2 diff computers atm lol
[17:02] <AXN> i should've setup irc on other
[17:08] <EriC^^> AXN, try sudo efibootmgr -o 0003,0000,0001
[17:08] <EriC^^> AXN, then just run sudo efibootmgr -v again and check that the order has changed
[17:13] <rebs> HOW CAN i restart pulseaudio?
[17:13] <rebs> nvm google
[17:17] <crlcan81> Does anyone know any good legal torrents for something like books to read? Or game systems?
[17:17] <crlcan81> I know it's not totally ubuntu related, but I know some of the books can be related to linux or ubuntu usage.
[17:17] <nih0> crlcan81: torrents or legal, pick one ;D
[17:18] <crlcan81> ..um.. torrents can be legal.
[17:18] <crlcan81> I've used torrents to download Ubuntu silly.
[17:18] <crlcan81> From the Ubuntu website.
[17:18] <bazhang> archive.org and prject gutenberg crlcan81
[17:18] <daftykins> nih0: not strictly true
[17:18] <crlcan81> True, but those aren't exactly torrents, though they are a huge archive of knowledge.
[17:18] <daftykins> crlcan81: take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:19] <bazhang> crlcan81, many are
[17:20] <AXN> EriC^^: any ideas?
[17:20] <crlcan81> I wondered if there was an 'offtopic' channel
[17:20] <crlcan81> thankyou
[17:22] <subha> hi. I am facing some serious problem to upgrade in ubuntu 14.04 lts . pls help
[17:22] <daftykins> subha: give details to the channel
[17:23] <subha> my current version is 12.10
[17:23] <subha> when I am trying to upgrade from terminal itb is not working
[17:24] <subha> curently I am not even able to open terminal or dash
[17:25] <subha> upgrader is not working.
[17:25] <htqp> subha: the repositories for 12.10 have been shut down long ago, you won't be able to upgrade to 13.04.
[17:26] <subha> so what is the solution now?
[17:26] <htqp> install 14.04 LTS which is supported until 2019, or 14.10 supported until 9 months after 2014 oct
[17:26] <GraemeLion> reinstall with a 14.10 or 14.04 LTS
[17:26] <subha> but i will lose my data.
[17:27] <htqp> of course you always back-up before upgrading or installing an oS, don't you?
[17:27] <subha> huge quantity of data.
[17:27] <BluesKaj> do you have / and /home partitions, subha?
[17:28] <daftykins> htqp isn't strictly correct about the repos, but backing up and clean installing 14.04 would be the best option
[17:28] <daftykins> subha: ^
[17:28] <EriC^^> AXN, sudo efibootmgr -o 0003,0000,0001 doesn't work?
[17:29] <htqp> daftykins: why incorrect? quantal is not on archive.ubuntu.com is it?
[17:29] <EriC^^> AXN, try sudo efibootmgr -c -w -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L "ubuntu" -p 1 -d /dev/sda
[17:29] <EriC^^> AXN, then pastebin sudo efibootmgr -v
[17:30] <GraemeLion> No, Quantal is not.  It wouldn't be
[17:30] <MrEikono> hey guys
[17:30] <MrEikono> I have a question
[17:30] <rypervenche> subha: If you care about your data at all, you will be taking backups.
[17:30] <rypervenche> MrEikono: Welcome back, good sir :)
[17:30] <MrEikono> thanks rypervenche
[17:30] <subha> BluesKaj:
[17:30] <subha>  i dont have / partition
[17:30] <MrEikono> Anyway
[17:31] <MrEikono> I have my flash drive plugged into my PC right now, and I ran wubi, and I went into my UEFI > Boot > EFI
[17:31] <subha> Eric: i am not able to open the terminal ri8 now.
[17:31] <MrEikono> then I put USB on the top of that list
[17:31] <MrEikono> then I saved, exited, restarted
[17:31] <rypervenche> MrEikono: Ask away. Please try to keep your issue in one message though. It makes it easier for us to read.
[17:31] <MrEikono> So what do I do now do I have to run wubi again
[17:31] <MrEikono> I see. Sorry
[17:31] <leftyv> hello
[17:32] <MrEikono> hi leftyv
[17:32] <rypervenche> MrEikono: I wouldn't recommend using Wubi at all, as I stated yesterday. It is not a true Linux installation and it has its limitations. I would install Linux alongside your current Windows system.
[17:32] <AXN> EriC^: kk gonna try that long one
[17:32] <AXN> 2 secs lemme switch irc
[17:32] <leftyv> Hi. Sorry to bother but this is my first time ever using Linux
[17:32] <BluesKaj> subha, bummer , if you have a / and a /home then you could just install to / and reset the the mountpoint without formatting /home in the ubiquity installer , thereby saving all your data
[17:33]  * MrEikono waits patiently
[17:33] <leftyv> Haha, anyone got any tips for a new Linux user?
[17:33] <bcowan> i915 drm segv on my macbook in kernel 3.19
[17:33] <BluesKaj> leftyv, it's no bother, that's what this support chat is all about
[17:33] <subha> BluesKaj: how?
[17:34] <EriC^> AXN: ok
[17:34] <subha> BluesKaj, pls help
[17:35] <cortex> hi
[17:35] <rypervenche> MrEikono: Check my private message please.
[17:36] <MrEikono> checked soz
[17:36] <htqp> bcowan: where did you get the kernel from? mainline PPA or kernel.org?
[17:36] <BluesKaj> subha, backup your data and repartition your drive to have a / and /home partition with a live-media like gparted
[17:36] <AXN> EriC^: can you paste what i needa execute again man?
[17:36] <AXN> ill do it on lappy now and link u
[17:37] <bcowan> htqp, mainline
[17:37] <subha> BluesKaj , Gparted is not workin properly.
[17:37] <EriC^> AXN: ok

[18:09] <LnxNoob> Hey guys, I have configured iptables to let only traffic thought tun0 from any to any and eth0 only to 192.168.0.1/24 but on ipleak.net my ipv6 is still leaking trough torrent, how is that even possible ?
[18:10] <AXN> EriC^: awesome man it works as it should :)
[18:11] <AXN> I wonder if this burg thing will work
[18:11] <AXN> should I try it?
[18:11] <AXN> :P
[18:11] <EriC^> cool
[18:11] <AXN> EriC^: if this burg thing doesnt work how do i reverse it?
[18:12] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: iptables does not handle IPv6 addresses. You must use ip6tables for that.
[18:13] <LnxNoob> rypervenche oh.. that must explain that thanks
[18:13] <AXN> EriC^: if this burg thing doesnt work how do i reverse it?
[18:14] <EriC^> no idea you can set grubs background if you want
[18:15] <EriC^> whats burg do?
[18:15] <vexn> hey i installed fail2ban but service --status-all shows it's not running

[18:20] <bigsahar> my hidden directories are showing, how to keep them hidden?
[18:21] <daftykins> bigsahar: in the file browser? hit ctrl+H
[18:21] <Dan-NS27> I have an issue that's getting a bit frustrating for me. I recently got a Dell 1950 server that I'm trying to load Ubuntu Server 14.04.2. After going through all the steps and booting, it keeps dropping into initramfs. I can get to the grub> prompt too once I go to the OS select page. I've been searching the internet looking for solutions to this but nothing has helped so far. Just now I tried going backwards to 12.04 but it's dropping back to initramfs again
[18:21] <bigsahar> their name already begin with dot (.)
[18:21] <vexn> daftykins still doesn't run when i do that
[18:22] <daftykins> Dan-NS27: is it configured with a RAID config?
[18:22] <Dan-NS27> I haven't done any RAID configurations.
[18:22] <vexn> i have a bad config file daftykins
[18:22] <AXN> EriC^: what you reckon eric?
[18:22] <vexn> apt-get uninstall fail2ban ?
[18:22] <AXN> EriC^: worth risking it? any way to fix if it fucks it all up
[18:23] <daftykins> Dan-NS27: and none were pre-existing? any controller in JBOD mode if used at all?
[18:24] <EriC^> AXN: no idea
[18:24] <bigsahar> oh my God,, thats working.. thanks
[18:24] <AXN> kk man, I'll do some research
[18:25] <AXN> I really appreciate your help man, been a huge help
[18:25] <Dan-NS27> not familiar with JBOD and I haven't seen anything with RAID when installing. I've had this server for a couple days so I'm just getting started with it.
[18:25] <AXN> thanks bud
[18:25] <AXN> EriC^:
[18:25] <AXN> EriC^: im off cheers again bud
[18:25] <EriC^> AXN: no problem
[18:26] <vexn> alright, i'm a newbie i have to ask
[18:26] <vexn> how do i make sure fail2ban starts at system boot time?
[18:26] <vexn> do installed services automatically launch at boot?
[18:28] <rypervenche> vexn: They do in Ubuntu.
[18:29] <darko89> Hi, does anyone know of some application/way which could stop my mouse from reaching an edge of monitor? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/confine-mouse-movement-mouse-jail-729654/ I found only post from 2009 :(
[18:29] <vexn> nice ty rypervenche
[18:29] <vexn> is it normal for new vps's to get attacks from china all day long?
[18:29] <GraemeLion> vexn: Yes :(
[18:29] <vexn> i wonder if that'll affect my bandwidth usage
[18:30] <rypervenche> vexn: I would disable password logins and only use SSH keys. Also changing your SSH port would greatly reduce the number of attacks you get.
[18:31] <vexn> i don't know how to use SSH keys
[18:32] <bigsahar> what do you mean about get  attack from china?
[18:32] <vexn> at 1000 attempts per minute, 10-digit alphanumeric, even if they hit gold 1/4 of the way through will take 90,000 years to brute force it
[18:32] <vexn> i kind of like wasting china's resources.  doesn't change anything on my end
[18:35] <imane> Hello
[18:37] <bigsahar> just install ssh client in your pc and ssh server in your server
[18:37] <bigsahar> then, from your client pc, just type ssh (your server ip or domain)

[18:40] <Amm0n> vexn, read: https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html and http://feeding.cloud.geek.nz/posts/hardening-ssh-servers/
[18:40] <Ntemis> even grub displays deepin
[18:40] <doraimon> realy ?
[18:41] <daftykins> ah-har, that's what you get for trying deepin ;)
[18:41] <Ntemis> i have remove conflicting packages but still i see deepin logo everywhere
[18:41] <Ntemis> i have replaced vanilla list sources
[18:41] <Ntemis> but i still need to clean more
[18:41] <Amm0n> vexn, and what rypervenche said change your ssh port and/or use portknocking
[18:42] <daftykins> Ntemis: sorry, you've trashed it. backup and clean install
[18:42] <Ntemis> any help?
[18:42] <Ntemis> no way i will do that
[18:42] <Ntemis> pc fuctions ok
[18:42] <Ntemis> i have fixed it from cmd
[18:43] <daftykins> then why are you here if it's fixed? :)
[18:43] <Ntemis> but i need to remove deepin trash
[18:43] <daftykins> !ppapurge
[18:43] <daftykins> use that then
[18:43] <aidanabrown> How do I give dd permission to open something?
[18:43] <daftykins> aidanabrown: like what?
[18:44] <aidanabrown> Terminal tells me that dd does bot have permission to open /dev/sdb
[18:44] <aidanabrown> Not*
[18:45] <Ntemis> daftykins: is not a ppa
[18:45] <rypervenche> aidanabrown: It needs to be run as root or with sudo.
[18:45] <qu4nt1n> !search insterstellar
[18:45] <aidanabrown> Ok ty
[18:45] <Ntemis> daftykins: is this line in sources: ttp://packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin trusty main non-free universe
[18:45] <haza-w`> What are you trying to do, aidanabrown?
[18:46] <aidanabrown> Im trying lo put an archlinux iso image onto a usb drive using dd
[18:46] <aidanabrown> To*
[18:46] <daftykins> Ntemis: yeah that's a PPA.
[18:47] <daftykins> aidanabrown: sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M
[18:47] <daftykins> (where sdX is your flash drive)
[18:47] <aidanabrown> Ok ill try that
[18:49] <aidanabrown> Great it workes
[18:49] <aidanabrown> It worked, thanks.
[18:50] <daftykins> of course it did! enjoy
[18:51] <aidanabrown> Yes ! My. Pc booted from it!
[18:51] <Dumle29> If I want to symlink my home folders onto my data drive (spindle) can I simply delete the ones in /home/user/ and make symlinks with ln -s /media/data/FolderToBeLinked (my drive is mounted at /media/data)
[18:51] <aidanabrown> Ill keep in mind to use sudo
[18:51] <daftykins> aidanabrown: beware of course that here be dragons now, we can't help you with Arch ;)
[18:51] <Ntemis> daftykins: can you help me with command needed? i tried "sudo ppa-purge http://packages.linuxdeepin.com/deepin trusty main non-free universe" but didnt work
[18:51] <bekks> Dumle29: Dont symlink them, move them properly.
[18:51] <daftykins> Ntemis: no, sorry.
[18:51] <Dumle29> bekks: Okay, how :)
[18:52] <bekks> Dumle29: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[18:52] <aidanabrown> I know ill be switching to arch's irc, bye
[18:52] <LnxNoob> Ok guys, now I have blocked all outside traffic trough eth0 and allowed all through tun0, even on ipv6 thanks to upw but ipv6 still leak with torrents... I really can't understand what is going on...
[18:52] <Dumle29> bekks: I still want all my configs and such to be on my SSD though :/
[18:53] <daftykins> LnxNoob: no idea what you mean by "torrents leaking" , tried ##networking ?
[18:54] <Dumle29> bekks: Actually, I think daftykins might have an idea of what I would do, as he walked me through the start of this yesterday :)
[18:54] <daftykins> Dumle29: i think that'll work fine, yes. little surprised you're still working on this
[18:54] <LnxNoob> daftykins Mhh sorry my mind is all messed up, I meant ipv6 is leaking thought torrents, on ipleak.net
[18:54] <rypervenche> Ntemis: To my knowledge, ppa-purge only works with the Launchpad ppa syntax. What you have is not technically a PPA, but another repository. Not sure if it will work or not. I'd have to check the man page.
[18:54] <daftykins> LnxNoob: i still don't know what you mean by that :)
[18:54] <Dumle29> daftykins: Just sorta forgot about it and started playing cities: skylines :P
[18:54] <Dumle29> daftykins: So symlink or the link bekks sent me?
[18:54] <bekks> Dumle29: Dont symlink, that will break things.
[18:55] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: You mean that you are able to see your IPv6 address on that site?
[18:55] <LnxNoob> rypervenche Yeap.
[18:55] <Dumle29> bekks: Roger that. Any way to keep my .config and such on my ssd then, while having pictures videos etc on my spindle?
[18:55] <bekks> Dumle29: Read the link :)
[18:55] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: I came into this a bit late. Are you trying to use a VPN or something?
[18:55] <Dumle29> bekks: Okay, didn't realize that was in there. Sorry :P
[18:56] <daftykins> bekks: what makes you think it'll break something? symlink is the ideal combo to keep things on the SSD but media on the HDD
[18:56] <LnxNoob> rypervenche Yep I have a working openvpn client, but somehow on every "iptorrentcheck" website I still can see my ipv6, so I have made some brutal rules on ufw to prevent any traffic to go to eth0 except the ip of my vpn.
[18:57] <bekks> daftykins: Some application require files to be reachable by a path which doesnt contain symlinks. I dont have an example handy, but I stumbled upon that issue in the past.
[18:57] <galentanner> Good Morning!
[18:57] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: Do you have IPv6 on your home network?
[18:57] <OpenSorce> It's been awhile since I've done this. Can I assign JUST IP and Gateway and leave the DNS server assigned?
[18:57] <LnxNoob> rypervenche Yep
[18:57] <daftykins> bekks: ah ok, i suppose such programs could be pointed to the real path though?
[18:57] <galentanner> I was wondering if someone could help me with an issue?
[18:58] <daftykins> galentanner: only once you've described it
[18:58] <Dumle29> galentanner: Just ask :) this channel is dedicated to support ;)
[18:58] <OpenSorce> Or is it all static or all dchp?
[18:58] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: Then the problem is probably in your openVPN configuration. There are separate configuration settings for IPv6. It's probably not set correctly. I can't say much without seeing the configs though.
[18:58] <bekks> daftykins: yeah, but then you have to maintain two file paths - and moving the home requires the same work as symlink, plus one entry in the /etc/fstab
[18:58] <daftykins> negates the benefit of an SSD for storage, then
[18:59] <daftykins> er, app config storage i mean
[18:59] <galentanner> I have Xubuntu 14.04 installed on an old Gateway laptop.  SFSG.  The wireless internet won't fire up.  I installed the driver just a few days ago but I can't get the system to go on wireless.  Any ideas?
[18:59] <Dumle29> bekks: daftykins: Will it actually impact performance that much though? With 16GB of ram, i'm thinking linux would use quite a bit for cache.
[18:59] <daftykins> Dumle29: sounds like it's down to you then, maybe instead of symlinking you can just store stuff on the other disk
[18:59] <bekks> daftykins: Unless you have a uncredibly big application config, there is no such benefit.
[18:59] <LnxNoob> rypervenche If it can help : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10605687/
[18:59] <daftykins> Dumle29: that has nothing to do with the fact that an initial program launch such as a browser will be pulling from HDD instead of SSD slower
[19:00] <Dumle29> daftykins: Hmm, yeah. Only issue is some ubuntu programs look in the pictures folder for pictures (setting a background for example)
[19:00] <daftykins> bekks: yeah, i suppose it'll be imperceptible in reality. i've not tried since i don't run desktop
[19:00] <Dumle29> daftykins: aren't browsers and such installed in /var/ or /lib etc?
[19:00] <daftykins> yes but their profile configs aren't
[19:00] <bekks> Dumle29: in /usr/ most likely.
[19:01] <daftykins> Dumle29: well i can count on one hand how many times i've changed background in the last year
[19:01] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: Yeah, you don't have any IPv6 specific options in there. I have not yet set it up personally, although I probably should work on it. Maybe try in #ipv6 or #openvpn. Otherwise, there have to be guides online for how to do it.
[19:01] <Dumle29> daftykins: Yeah that's not my main concern :) just figured if that program does, others might as well :)
[19:01] <daftykins> all your personal configs are in ~/.config
[19:01] <LnxNoob> rypervenche Ok thanks.
[19:01] <daftykins> or just ~/.program
[19:01] <rypervenche> LnxNoob: But as it stands now, you are not forwarding any IPv6 traffic, so it's normal that it uses your server's IPv6 IP.
[19:02] <Dumle29> Also, is there a way that I can make a shell script searchable from where I search for other programs? Teamspeak ships as a program that I currently have to launch from the terminal :/
[19:03] <rypervenche> Dumle29: I would set it up as a keyboard shortcut personally. That's what I do.
[19:03] <Dumle29> rypervenche: Good idea! :)
[19:03] <bekks> Dumle29: Put it in /home/user/bin and add that to your PATH.
[19:04] <rypervenche> Dumle29: The way they have the startup script written, it has to be located in your Teamspeak folder.
[19:05] <Dumle29> rypervenche: yeah, I guess I'll add it as a keyboard shortcut.
[19:05] <rypervenche> Dumle29: But you can call the full path of the script, /home/username/TeamSpeak/ts3client_runscript.sh, or wherever it is located.
[19:05] <galentanner> I have Xubuntu 14.04 installed on an old Gateway laptop.  SFSG.  The wireless internet won't fire up.  I installed the driver just a few days ago but I can't get the system to go on wireless.  Any ideas?
[19:07] <daftykins> galentanner: does it 'see' networks?
[19:07] <galentanner> how do I check that?
[19:07] <daftykins> should have the network tool upper right
[19:07] <galentanner> is that the up and down arrows?
[19:08] <daftykins> galentanner: that indicates a wired connection, should also offer wireless if enabled
[19:09] <galentanner> there is no wireless listed in that dropdown.
[19:09] <daftykins> right click and check it's enabled
[19:10] <Dumle29> rypervenche: So am I corrent in asuming that having a custom shortcut set up as "screen sh /path/to/ts3client_runscript/sh" should start the clinet? Becuase that command works in terminal, but doesn't seem to fire when I hit the combo I assigned
[19:10] <rypervenche> Dumle29: All you need is "/path/to/ts3client_runscript/sh"
[19:11] <rypervenche> Dumle29: You don't want screen or sh in front.
[19:11] <Dumle29> rypervenche: Still doesn't work
[19:11] <rypervenche> Dumle29: stat /path/to/ts3client_runscript.sh please
[19:11] <Dumle29> rypervenche: Nevermind. It does now. I must have mistyped the first time
[19:11] <galentanner> If I right click, there is nothing indicating about networks.  I left click and the menu comes up about the networking.  Nothing show up about wireless.
[19:12] <OmegaCenti> Just installed Ubuntu 14.10 on this computer. This computer has a Nvidia Gtx 980 and a gtx 480 in it. It detected in the additional drivers the gtx 480 and installed binaries for it. however my main display (the one I am currently viewing ubunt and irc from) is limited to 1024x768 and 800x600. This display is hooked up to the gtx 980 via displayport. I would like this display to be in...
[19:12] <OmegaCenti> ...1920x1080 (its native resolution) the gtx 980 is in the PCI-E slot closest to the cpu on the motherboard, the gtx 480 is in the slot further away from the cpu. Both cards work fine in windows.
[19:13] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: you've got to create a custom xorg.conf most likely
[19:13] <daftykins> are they SLI'd or operating independantly?
[19:13] <OmegaCenti> operating independantly, as assymetrical cards cannot be SLI'd
[19:13] <galentanner> Now If I go to the Mouse menu/Settings/Network Connections, the wireless shows in that list, but it says last used-never
[19:13] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: that's actually wrong, but ok. so yeah, xorg.conf
[19:14] <daftykins> galentanner: can you open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ip a | pastebinit" ?
[19:14] <Dumle29> daftykins: You sure? I mean, one card can be used for physX, but I don't believe a 480 and 980 can SLI
[19:15] <daftykins> yeah i was thinking maybe physx and graphics indepandant, but that's splitting hairs to what i meant really
[19:15] <OmegaCenti> yes, it can only provide physX calculations
[19:15] <galentanner> let me try it
[19:15] <OmegaCenti> and doesn't require an SLI bridge adapter, nor should one be put on
[19:15] <daftykins> there is no try, only succeed!
[19:16] <OmegaCenti> okay daftykins, its been 10 years since I last tried ubuntu/linux
[19:16] <OmegaCenti> where is xorg.conf again?
[19:16] <daftykins> /etc/X11/
[19:16]  * OmegaCenti is moaning and face palming at editing xorg again
[19:16] <daftykins> there won't be one now, you need to create one
[19:16] <daftykins> well, welcome to your quirky setup :)
[19:16] <galentanner> ok.  did that.
[19:16] <daftykins> galentanner: should've given a link to paste here
[19:17] <galentanner> ok.  I closed it.  Hang on
[19:18] <OmegaCenti> daftykins: is there an example file?
[19:18] <daftykins> :(
[19:18] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: online somewhere
[19:18] <galentanner> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10605795/
[19:18] <Dumle29> OmegaCenti: daftykins: Would the proprietary drivers be easier for OmegaCenti?
[19:18] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: oh, which driver are you using btw?
[19:18] <daftykins> Dumle29: please don't second guess, it's tedious
[19:19] <OmegaCenti> I don't know, second guess sounds better, faster, and more reliable
[19:19] <daftykins> keep up that smart tone and you'll be on your own :)
[19:19] <daftykins> galentanner: yeah so you don't have a wireless interface setup right now - run "lshw -C network | pastebinit"
[19:19] <daftykins> whichever driver you installed didn't work
[19:19] <galentanner> ok
[19:19] <OmegaCenti> Keep up that condescention and I'll ask someone else :)
[19:20] <Dumle29> daftykins: Sorry. I just assumed that you didn't recommend the proprietary driver, as it's well. Proprietary.
[19:20] <OmegaCenti> Dumle29: thanks again the driver is  331.113
[19:20] <[1]MN> hi
[19:20] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: that word doesn't actually apply to that situation, but yeah there are plenty of other volunteers
[19:20] <[1]MN> Hey what is a Gnome module
[19:20] <[1]MN> ??
[19:20] <rad> Hi, I'm a newbie to Ubuntu, created a bootable pendrive (4GB) with 14.02 LTS on it. I'm able to boot, but when I try and install it from the pendrive -> select "Install within Windows 8" -> the pc restarts and takes me back to the same page. Any help?
[19:20] <daftykins> that drive won't work with a 980
[19:20] <daftykins> *driver
[19:21] <galentanner> It gave me a couple warnings: WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.
[19:21] <galentanner> WARNING: output may be incomplete or inaccurate, you should run this program as super-user.
[19:21] <daftykins> Dumle29: no i'm no FOSS nutjob, i advise what works.
[19:21] <galentanner> What does this mean?
[19:21] <elfer> install "within" windows 8?
[19:21] <Dumle29> daftykins: Okay :P
[19:21] <daftykins> galentanner: it means maybe stick 'sudo' at the front
[19:21] <elfer> it shoulda be alongside
[19:21] <galentanner> ok so not "lshw"
[19:21] <nih0> galentanner: start it with sudo
[19:21] <daftykins> elfer: what? did you use WUBI?
[19:21] <rad> yes it says that! not alongside :(
[19:22] <elfer> me? lol
[19:22] <daftykins> galentanner: yes "sudo lshw -C network | pastebinit"
[19:22] <elfer> whats wubi?
[19:22] <galentanner> ok...I'll try it...
[19:22] <daftykins> elfer: sorry didn't realise you were replying to someone, since you didn't use a nick
[19:22] <elfer> i use win32diskimager to make live USBs
[19:22] <elfer> from iso's
[19:22] <rad> elfer: yep that is what did, from an iso
[19:23] <elfer> ya its the way to go
[19:23] <galentanner> ok.  Now what?
[19:23] <rad> do you know why this would happen? With 12.04 I was able to install successfully. I am not even able to go ahea with the install in 14
[19:23] <elfer> rad: no idea
[19:23] <daftykins> galentanner: paste the link again...
[19:24] <galentanner> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10605817/
[19:24] <daftykins> !uefi | rad make sure you're booting as EFI if windows 8 is installed as EFI
[19:24] <daftykins> !broadcom
[19:24] <OmegaCenti> How do I stop the X service and then restart the X service ?
[19:24] <[1]MN> what is a git repository
[19:24] <rad> I will try this and get back. Thank you!
[19:25] <elfer> when you use win32diskimager, you want to select "*.*" or all files from the file extenstion drop down box. since the drop down box only has one option (.img) files i think..but it WILL burn .iso files :)
[19:25] <daftykins> galentanner: go to system settings in xfce, find the additional drivers thing and tell it to install the driver for your Broadcom 4318
[19:25] <daftykins> [1]MN: repository for storing code
[19:25] <elfer> i use efi
[19:25] <daftykins> elfer: that's nice, but you're not the one asking for help
[19:25] <galentanner> ok.  What did I just do?  The paste thing changed.
[19:25] <elfer> =p
[19:26] <elfer> .bartender daftykins
[19:26] <OmegaCenti> does 14.10 use lightdm?
[19:26] <daftykins> galentanner: what?
[19:26] <octavian> Changed my video driver(radeon 8670m series, dell 3537 i5 4th gen) and after I login I can't access anything and I can't use terminal. I have access only to the login screen. After this everything is dead
[19:26] <daftykins> OmegaCenti: sure
[19:26] <octavian> Pls help guys
[19:26] <galentanner> The commands that you gave me.  What did I do?
[19:27] <nih0> octavian: can you open a virtual terminal before you log in with you dm?
[19:27] <galentanner> The additional drivers window says there are no additional drivers
[19:27] <daftykins> galentanner: showed me info of your hardware.
[19:27] <octavian> nih0: how can i do that?
[19:27] <galentanner> oh.  ok.
[19:28] <galentanner> What does the "sudo" command do?
[19:28] <Dumle29> runs the following command as super user
[19:28] <daftykins> run as admin
[19:28] <nih0> octavian: i think it's <ALT>+F1 - F10
[19:29] <daftykins> galentanner: follow the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx bearing in mind your device is the BCM 4318. i must depart.
[19:29] <galentanner> ok. What about "lshw"?
[19:29] <galentanner> ok.  Thanks.
[19:29] <Dumle29> list hardware
[19:29] <octavian> nih0: when should i use this key combo? Right before the login screen?
[19:29] <daftykins> galentanner: i see you want to learn every single separate word of that command. looks like Dumle29 is your pal
[19:30] <whatever43> hello there, my kernel cannot load the root partition anymore. it's an LUKS partition in an lvm2 volume
[19:30] <galentanner> Just curious.  I like to know how things work.  I appreciate your help.
[19:32] <cool_boy> hi , I am trying to create softlink inside /opt but it turns out to be broken (red) link
[19:32] <cool_boy> I am doing ln -s OpenERP80/ /opt/OpenERP80
[19:32] <whatever43> cool_boy: it's target linkname imho
[19:33] <whatever43> cool_boy try ln -s /opt/OpenER... OpenER..
[19:34] <cool_boy> whatever43: it says ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘OpenERP80/OpenERP80’: File exists
[19:34] <elfer> how come no one has +v in this chan?
[19:34] <cool_boy> but file OpenERP80 doesn`t exist in /opt
[19:34] <whatever43> hello there, my kernel cannot load the root partition anymore. it's an LUKS partition in an lvm2 volume. i'm getting into busybox - kernel stops waiting for root file system
[19:34] <octavian> nih0: I managed to open the virtual terminal. Hiw can I revert the changes?
[19:34] <SchrodingersScat> elfer: not moderated channel
[19:35] <bekks> cool_boy: So where does it exist?
[19:35] <octavian> guys pls
[19:35] <elfer> ah
[19:35] <cool_boy> bekks: it exists in current directory
[19:35] <bekks> cool_boy: What is the current directory?
[19:35] <cool_boy> bekks: /home/ubuntu/workplace
[19:36] <lakitu> hey - black screen on install - no nothing. someone said maybe a graphics card issue? i have a 5770, what do i do?
[19:36] <bekks> cool_boy: sudo ln -s /home/ubuntu/workplace/OpenERP80 /opt/OpenERP80

[19:36] <lakitu> thanks
[19:36] <lakitu> bekks
[19:37] <cool_boy> bekks: it is what I was trying before , it creates a link inside /opt/OpenERP80 -> OpenERP80 (but I see it in red color) .
[19:38] <cool_boy> also I can not enter in directory
[19:38] <bekks> cool_boy: IT doesnt ;)
[19:38] <bekks> cool_boy: Remove all old artefacts before.
[19:38] <nicomachus> hey guys, what's the difference between the two memtest options in grub?
[19:38] <cool_boy> ok I Am removing :)
[19:39] <octavian> Changed my video driver(radeon 8000m series) and after I login I can't access anything. I have access only to the login screen and to Virtual Terminal. After this everything is dead
[19:39] <octavian> Help~~~~~<<
[19:39] <nicomachus> one just says "memtest+86" but the other says "memtest+86, serial console 115200)
[19:39] <cool_boy> bekks: so I removed , now there is no 'OpenERP80' directory inside /opt
[19:39] <lakitu> thank you bekks - you fixed my black screen - will commit changes
[19:39] <lakitu> thanks again
[19:39] <elfer> scat man

[19:44] <whatever43> after moving root filesystem into an encrypted lvm partition my kernel cannot mount the root partition anymore - please help
[19:44] <whatever43> getting into busybox shell after kernel gives up waiting for root filesystem
[19:44] <cool_boy> ln -s creaets link in same directory but not creating outside of current directory :(
[19:45] <cool_boy> what I am missing
[19:45] <vlt> whatever43: Is cryptsetup available in the busybox shell?
[19:45] <whatever43> no, tried that
[19:45] <dhrosa> can anyone reccomend a cloud backup service for like, 8TB of data? I want to have my home server backed-up offsite
[19:46] <dhrosa> problem is most of the solutions I've found depend on some mac/windows GUI...
[19:46] <mguy> dhrosa: rsync.net?
[19:46] <vlt> whatever43: Then the kernel has no chance of finding it. Boot another kernel (a live system like grml.org), chroot and install cryptsetup and lvm2. This should update your initrd.img.
[19:46] <bekks> cool_boy: pastebin ls -lha /home/youruser/workspace/ /opt/ please
[19:46] <Guest55035> anybody here with flex and bison expreince  ?
[19:47] <vlt> whatever43: Maybe the Ubuntu live CD/DVD/USB also works.
[19:47] <mguy> dhrosa: actually that could cost your $1120/month so that might be out of your price range
[19:48] <whatever43> vlt: it is installed but i'll give it a try anyway, thank you
[19:48] <cool_boy> bekks: aah thanks I understood, where I was mistaking, I was not writing whole path  of source
[19:49] <dhrosa> mguy: you mean $11.20?
[19:49] <bekks> cool_boy: My command for you included the full path.
[19:49] <mguy> dhrosa: 0.14 USD per gigabyte
[19:50] <cool_boy> bekks: yes thanks, I was thinking system should consider path of my current directory :(
[19:50] <dhrosa> oh shit yeah, I was calculating with .14 cents per GB, oops
[19:50] <Jakey2> if i change a .conf file how do i refresh so it comes into action
[19:50] <bekks> cool_boy: Thats why my conmand included the full path...
[19:51] <bekks> Jakey2: depends on the application which uses that file.

[19:51] <kk0710> Hi guys, I have been monitoring my syslog due to some wireless connectivity issues.  this just popped up and I was wondering if it is anything I need to worry about: gnome-session[2255]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_environ_setenv: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
[19:53] <breadmonster> Hey guys.
[19:53] <dhrosa> mguy: looks like CrashPlan will probably work for me
[19:53] <breadmonster> Can someone help me fix network manager's strange behavior?
[19:54] <bekks> breadmonster: Which strange behaviour?
[19:54] <breadmonster> bekks: It freezes when trying to connect to WPA2 PEAP with no certificate given.
[19:55] <breadmonster> Extremely strange, restarting doesn't work.
[19:57] <breadmonster> bekks: Any ideas?
[19:57] <moppy_> Hello. Is it fine to dump files onto an ubuntu liveusb without causing it to fail? I want to save my config files to the USB that I use for installing, so that I dont have to get them dropbox to setup a new machine each time
[19:57] <breadmonster> I don't have wifi until this issue gets fixed.
[20:01] <breadmonster> Anyone?
[20:01] <Amm0n> breadmonster, there was a bug related to PEAP https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1104476
[20:02] <breadmonster> Amm0n: That seems to be the bug.
[20:02] <breadmonster> How do I patch it?
[20:03] <moppy_> Says it's alread backported to Utopic
[20:03] <breadmonster> I'm on 14.04.
[20:03] <breadmonster> That's Trusty Tahr, right?
[20:03] <Amm0n> breadmonster, read the comments, i'd start with commenting out "system-ca-certs=true" in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[20:03] <moppy_> T is before U, don't know the exact names
[20:04] <EriC^^> yup
[20:04] <EriC^^> hey i just noticed it goes by the alphabet
[20:05] <breadmonster> Amm0n: Yeah, this is slightly different.
[20:06] <breadmonster> Amm0n: When I enter details, it'll bring up the CA Cert not specified dialog box, and then network manager will just freeze.
[20:07] <malice> Hey guys, problem: my ubuntu doesn't recognize, as for now, right alt i.e. it doesn't distinguish alt keys.
[20:07] <malice> Whenever I press right alt it has the same signal as left alt.
[20:07] <malice> Any solution? It makes me unable to use accents :(
[20:07] <EriC^^> malice, open a terminal and type xev
[20:08] <EriC^^> malice, press left alt and right alt and see what you get for the keycode and name
[20:08] <breadmonster> Amm0n: can I PM?
[20:09] <Amm0n> breadmonster, anything in /var/log/syslog?
[20:09] <malice> EriC^^, I used xev to test keycode from both alts
[20:09] <Amm0n> sure^
[20:09] <malice> EriC^^, serial is the same(37)
[20:10] <cool_boy> is it possible to change user name?
[20:10] <cool_boy> in ubuntu*
[20:10] <leo_> hello, i accidentally formatted a 2 TB usb disk, and now im looking into ways of restoring it. i tried testdisk, but it is very slow (0% after 2h). i know that the drive only had one fat32 partion on it. has anybody got any advice for me?
[20:10] <EriC^^> cool_boy, create a new user and copy the contents of your user's home dir
[20:11] <EriC^^> leo_, testdisk should pick it up easily within a few seconds
[20:11] <cool_boy> thanks EriC^^
[20:12] <malice> cool_boy, or you can edit it in UserEditor in System Settings
[20:12] <EriC^^> cool_boy, np
[20:12] <leo_> i havent had any luck, i left the scan running for 4h+ and got nothing
[20:12] <malice> User Accounts*
[20:12] <malice> cool_boy, here you have detailed answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username
[20:12] <cool_boy> thanks mal
[20:12] <malice> mind the comments to first answers though :)
[20:12] <cool_boy> malice: *
[20:12] <malice> np
[20:12] <EriC^^> cool_boy, if you copy the user's contents, make sure you copy the hidden files as well, and run chown on them to change the ownership
[20:13] <cool_boy> I will make it sure
[20:13] <Cronico> hello !
[20:13] <Cronico> [malice] do you play cs?
[20:13] <EriC^^> leo_, it usually picks it up within the first 10 secs or so
[20:14] <leo_> is there anything i could be doing wrong?
[20:14] <EriC^^> leo_, try it again, also make sure it's using the proper partition table type
[20:14] <EriC^^> ( the screen that asks if it's Intel gpt etc. )
[20:14] <leo_> yeah
[20:14] <EriC^^> leo_, did you run a deep search?
[20:15] <leo_> Hint: Intel partition table type has been detected.
[20:15] <leo_> so i choose intel
[20:15] <leo_> no
[20:15] <leo_> i ran the quick search
[20:15] <EriC^^> try quiting the quick search and run a deep search
[20:15] <leo_> okay
[20:15] <leo_> one second
[20:16] <leo_> its running now
[20:16] <breadmonster> How do I restart network manager?
[20:16] <hypophthalmus> Does anyone know if it's possible to install other operating systems on the ubuntu phone?
[20:17] <popey> hypophthalmus: depends which phone
[20:17] <leo_> no results so far
[20:17] <EriC^^> breadmonster, sudo service network-manager restart
[20:17] <breadmonster> EriC^^: That means I'll be disconnected from the current network, yeah?
[20:17] <EriC^^> breadmonster, yeah it will disconnect then reconnect
[20:18] <breadmonster> Perfect.
[20:18] <EriC^^> leo_, are you sure it's Intel? who knows
[20:18] <EriC^^> leo_, try sudo parted -l and check the partition table type
[20:20] <leo_> EriC^^: it is "Partition Table: msdos"
[20:20] <EriC^^> ok it's intel then
[20:20] <EriC^^> leo_, there's also photorec btw
[20:20] <breadmonster_> Okay, network manager is clearly failing me.
[20:20] <breadmonster_> Is there a way to connect from the command line?
[20:20] <EriC^^> if you're trying to recover certain files
[20:21] <leo_> nope, i pretty much need the whole thing
[20:21] <EriC^^> breadmonster_, yeah but it's very tedious
[20:21] <EriC^^> breadmonster_, nmcli
[20:21] <breadmonster_> EriC^^: Tell me? GUI doesn't seem to work.
[20:21] <leo_> there's also something else in the parted -l output
[20:21] <leo_> this
[20:21] <breadmonster_> EriC^^: I don't really have another option.
[20:21] <leo_> Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags  1      1049kB  2000GB  2000GB  primary               lba
[20:22] <leo_> that could be the partition
[20:22] <leo_> no results on the deep search yet btw
[20:23] <Cronico> hello !
[20:23] <breadmonster_> EriC^^: May I PM?
[20:23] <EriC^^> leo_, what happens if you mount that partition?
[20:23] <EriC^^> try to stop the deep search and mount it
[20:24] <EriC^^> breadmonster_, sure but i can't really help that much with nmcli
[20:24] <EriC^^> i usually just follow whatever it asks
[20:25] <Cronico> [Latina] oouuu a latina beautiful jajaja
[20:25] <leo_> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdi1,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error         In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail or so.
[20:25] <Cronico> perdon
[20:25] <Cronico> beautiful latina
[20:25] <Cronico> jajaja
[20:26] <lakitu> another question. my onboard video hardware is displayed in lspci, but only the video card is recognized in ATI Catalyst Control Center
[20:26] <nih0> Cronico: wtf
[20:26] <lakitu> how do i get this to recognize both my onboard graphics AND my video card?
[20:26] <Cronico> [nih0] sorry !
[20:26] <Cronico> [nih0] i speak spanish
[20:26] <leo_> that happens both with and without -t vfat argument
[20:26] <Cronico> asi que te paseo feo ql
[20:26] <Cronico> [nih0] nice to meet you
[20:28] <lakitu> how do i get my system to recognize/use the onboard video as well as the video card, i mean - catalyst only recognizes card
[20:30] <giuseppe_> ciao a tutti
[20:32] <userme> hello how do u change from abi word to libreoffice by deafult
[20:35] <Telefunken> Hi. I was trying to Install Ubuntu 14.10 ----- inside ------ Windows 8.1 using Wubi.exe, but I can´t see the option. In previous releases there was the option to Install Ubuntu inside Windows in a easy way. It is not available anymore?
[20:36] <Telefunken> (Excuse my bad english please)
[20:36] <NegativeFlare> lakitu: Catalyst is made to only see ATI/AMD Cards :P
[20:36] <leo_> EriC^^: I also tried using parted on the drive and using the rescue command, however i received no results
[20:36] <EriC^^> Telefunken, why don't you dual boot? or put ubuntu in a vm?
[20:37] <EriC^^> leo_, i see
[20:38] <leo_> anything else i could try?
[20:39] <Telefunken> EriC^^: I prefer on dual boot then... I was just needing Ubuntu quickly and that was a good option back then. I just think that Ubuntu is lacking an opportunity to spread the OS among newbie users who does not how to run a vm or making it work on a dual boot. Install inside windows is a good option for many people. Thanks anyway, good night /afternoon
[20:41] <leo_> Eric^^: I also recently copied that data over to a 8TB storage, however it was also formatted. Should i attempt to fix the 8TB storage instead?
[20:41] <EriC^^> leo_, yeah why not
[20:41] <EriC^^> if testdisk picks it up it will be pretty easy
[20:42] <EriC^^> i found this link not sure if it helps much http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1784873
[20:42] <EriC^^> there's also the official datarecovery page, have you seen it?
[20:43] <lakitu> NegativeFlare, ok. how do i do multiple monitors from both my video card & onboard video?
[20:43] <NegativeFlare> lakitu: as far as I know, you can't
[20:43] <leo_> yes, i have tried the three methods described on it
[20:43] <lakitu> really?
[20:43] <NegativeFlare> Only with either two cards or one card with two heads
[20:45] <testo9> I tried rowhammer test and I really don't understand if I'm concerned or not. If someone can just help me abot this, I don't understand the results of the test.
[20:45] <mrkie> if i chmod a file, where does ubuntu safe that? i mean not the bash history, but that it is done, like a configuration file
[20:45] <bekks> mrkie: On the filesystem.
[20:46] <mrkie> yes, but where exactly, what file of the filesystem?
[20:46] <bekks> mrkie: The inode containg the file metadata, to be exact.
[20:46] <bekks> mrkie: No file, but an inode.
[20:47] <mrkie> so if the file is removed that has a chmod, there is not anything left, like in a file?
[20:47] <mrkie> if i do chmod a+x file.sh and i remove that file, i mean
[20:47] <bekks> mrkie: Correct. The inode is cleared, so the metadata is lost.
[20:47] <mrkie> ok thanks
[20:49] <leo_> EriC^^ if i select the 8TB drive and then choose analyse
[20:49] <leo_> i get this
[20:49] <leo_> http://pastebin.com/hQNKrKzS
[20:50] <EriC^^> leo_, try pressing p over the partition to view the files ( i think it's p check at the bottom )
[20:51] <leo_> pressing p has no effect
[20:52] <EriC^^> leo_, did you stop the quick search?
[20:52] <EriC^^> ah, try to quick search first
[20:52] <leo_> http://i.imgur.com/qBToYiW.png
[20:52] <leo_> quick search is super slow
[20:53] <EriC^^> usually it picks it up in the first 10 secs or so
[20:54] <EriC^^> let it run for a min since the drive is big
[20:54] <leo_> okay
[20:54] <EriC^^> and press q if it nothing shows up, and try the deep search
[20:54] <lakitu> hm
[20:55] <nickerSLAVEgg> sup nickers yo bro?
[20:55] <leo_> also i am not sure if this matters, but the drive is a wd my book duo, so internally it uses two 4TB drives
[20:56] <leo_> for the pc it shows as one 8TB one tho
[20:57] <leo_> also, no results on quick search EricC^^
[20:57] <leo_> should i switch to deep search?
[20:57] <EriC^^> yeah
[20:57] <leo_> actually
[20:57] <leo_> something showed up
[20:58] <leo_> http://i.imgur.com/uqS6UZg.png
[20:59] <leo_> im pretty sure thats not it tho
[20:59] <bekks> Why dont you let it run and continue and finish the search? :)
[21:00] <leo_> because it runs very slow
[21:00] <EriC^^> leo_, try the deep search real quick
[21:00] <leo_> okay, will do
[21:00] <bekks> leo_: And?
[21:00] <bekks> leo_: If you dont let it finish its analysis, your attempts are pointless.
[21:00] <leo_> okay, i can leave it run
[21:01] <leo_> it could take several days tho
[21:01] <bekks> leo_: Yeah.
[21:01] <bekks> leo_: Data recovery is not a quick deal.
[21:01] <leo_> okay, thanks for the help!
[21:02] <EriC^^> leo_, i'd try the deep search real quick, if it doesn't pick it up after a min i'd do what bekks suggested
[21:02] <OmegaCenti> Just installed 14.10, have a single GPU in my computer (Nvidia GTX 980) and I cannot get the restricted drivers for it apparently. the output resolution is 1024x768. The native resolution of this monitor is 1920x1080(120hz)
[21:02] <OmegaCenti> it is connected via displayport > DVI
[21:02] <leo_> okay, i will let the deep search run for a few mins
[21:04] <leo_> no results on the deep search
[21:05] <leo_> just go ahead and stop, then start the quick search again?
[21:05] <EriC^^> yeah
[21:05] <leo_> okay
[21:05] <bekks> run it and let it finish. :)
[21:05] <leo_> okay, I'll do that
[21:05] <moppy_> finding nothing at all? Did you format it, or zero fill it as part of formatting?
[21:06] <leo_> thanks for the help EriC^^ and bekks
[21:07] <wilornel> Hey guys! I have a problem where when I open a program, its window does not show. On the left toolbar I can see a small triangle pointing on the icon of the program (for example firefox), and I even the alt+tab menu shows me the firefox icon but when I select it, the window does not show
[21:08] <wilornel> the only thing I can run is the terminal
[21:08] <leo_> moppy_ i used the quick format option (for the 8TB one) so in theory the data should be easy to recover, however it only found a mac partion (so far)
[21:08] <leo_> and i had no mac partion
[21:09] <wilornel> Actually, that's not true. There are some programs that I can open. For example, K3b, the Ubuntu Software Centre, Gimp
[21:09] <wilornel> s/open/view the window/
[21:09] <moppy_> 8TB?
[21:09] <rypervenche> wilornel: What isn't opening for you? Do you have a custom theme installed?
[21:09] <bjeli> Hello guys
[21:09] <EriC^^> wilornel, do you have another monitor?
[21:09] <EriC^^> or workspaces
[21:09] <wilornel> no custom theme installed
[21:10] <wilornel> "Well, this is embarassing"
[21:10] <wilornel> That's what Firefox is showing, cuz it crashed last time, heh
[21:10] <wilornel> EriC^^ was right
[21:10] <wilornel> I'm really embarassed right now :/
[21:11] <EriC^^> happens to everyonel
[21:12] <breadmonster> EriC^^ Amm0n: thanks a ton guys
[21:12] <EriC^^> no problem
[21:13] <moppy_> Wow, didn't know they made 8TB drives yet. However there are some out there. FOr a minute I thought you were running recovery on some kind of raid.
[21:14] <Amm0n> breadmonster, yw. how did you fix it?
[21:15] <breadmonster> Amm0n: Found some corrupted file representing the system config, fixed that, and removed MAC address cloning.

[21:17] <TheNumb> kk0710: probably not

[21:18] <kk0710> not that I have seen
[21:21] <bjeli> Hello, can anyone help or direct me to a "OS X" theme? One that doesn't slow the system
[21:23] <tripelb> 14.04 I have a graphics card with a "special" driver (that keeps failing). What is safe-graphics mode and will it work with my nvidia card. The fail happens in 2d-gnome as well as unity. I am only doing something like, starting firefox, or it may work for a long time with ff on.
[21:24] <tripelb> bjeli:  hi. have you seen Elementary. It is an OS based on Ubuntu but not receiving the Ubuntu updates (I think) BUT they have a gui you can run on top of regular ubuntu. It has a dashboard like the mac. I met the designer at the SCaLE13x (linus expo in so.cal)
[21:25] <tripelb> bjeli:  it isnt a mac emulation.
[21:25] <tripelb> And I would like to know how it goes for you. I was thinking of doing it but oh my present graphics problem. bjeli
[21:26] <bjeli> I did seen Elementary. And didnt know you can install it on top of Ubuntu
[21:26] <daftykins> it's likely unsupported
[21:26] <daftykins> so don't do it
[21:29] <PreSSion> hello ppl from ubuntu, first sorry my "engrish", Somebody know if the surface pro 3 with ubuntu and the correct kernel the stylus will work fine?

[21:35] <OmegaCenti> Alright, Ive got a weird problem where it boots up ubuntu 14.10, but then it shows the ubuntu background and nothing else. Is anyone available for troubleshooting?
[21:36] <haza-w`> OmegaCenti: If it's what I think it is, you may have the Unity shell disabled.
[21:36] <bprompt> PreSSion:     not acquainted myself with surface pro 3, thus wouldn't know
[21:36] <OmegaCenti> haza-w`: well, I just installed fresh ubuntu 14.10, then added xorg-edgers ppa, installed the 346drivers for nvidia gtx 980
[21:37] <OmegaCenti> could you tell me how to reenable the unity shell?
[21:37] <haza-w`> OmegaCenti: Try http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/reset-unity-and-compiz-settings-in-ubuntu-14-04/
[21:38] <OmegaCenti> If I go to ctrl-alt-f2 and hist dmesg | less it says systemd-logind[1036] failes to start unit user@1000.service: unknown unit: user@1000 service
[21:40] <OmegaCenti> haza-w`: error: cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $Display

[21:43] <haza-w`> OmegaCenti: There are reports on the Intertubes that removing the third-party display driver package and then re-installing it later fixed the issue
[21:43] <haza-w`> that was with the third party ATI drivers
[21:43] <haza-w`> sounds like something's gone Badly Wrong(tm) though...
[21:43] <OmegaCenti> alright, I guess I will try that
[21:43] <ax562> what is the best way to debug ubuntu when system errors appear
[21:44] <haza-w`> not a very satisfactory answer I'm afraid
[21:44] <k1l> ax562: see system logs in /var/log like dmesg, syslog and Xorg.log
[21:45] <haza-w`> OmegaCenti: This might be it... http://askubuntu.com/questions/215415/unity-doesnt-load-after-installing-nvidia-drivers
[21:46] <OmegaCenti> oh my
[21:46] <OmegaCenti> yeah, that looks like all sorts of bad. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[21:47] <OmegaCenti> isn't that like... everything?
[21:49] <kk0710> hey guys is it possible that that my system is incorrectly reporting my CPU usage.  top has plugin-container over 100%  but everything seems to be running ok
[21:50] <bekks> kk0710: So show us the output of top.
[21:50] <kk0710> top lists plugin-con at 100.3
[21:50] <kk0710> psensor shows my max cpu usage at 72% though
[21:50] <kk0710> max temp is 58
[21:50] <bekks> kk0710: Temperature is irrelevant for what top is showing.
[21:51] <kk0710> if my CPU usage was 100% the temp should shoot up
[21:51] <kk0710> ok I just killed it and will see what happens
[21:51] <Kroach> what is the equivalent of Fedoras 'glib-devel' package in Ubuntu?
[21:54] <OmegaCenti> alright, ubuntu reinstall #3 woohoo! Loving Ubuntu "Just Works!"(Tm)
[21:55] <haza-w`> You should have seen me trying to set up OS X on my parent's recently purchased iMac.
[21:55] <haza-w`> For a product and OS that markets itself specifically as working straight out of the box (compared with that infidel Microsoft product), it took about 12 hours to get it usable.
[21:56] <haza-w`> Refused to work without essential updates, and their update system was broken and went into an infinite loop, using up about 20GB of my parents' limited-usage internet package overnight.

[22:19] <DMRadford> Hello everybody. I'm in need of some assistance, possibly paid. I need to set up a basic server running redmine and subversion (integrated). Anybody know of a turnkey solution?
[22:20] <bekks> DMRadford: Talk to your preferred hoster, they offer managed solutions.
[22:21] <ObrienDave> and please don't crosspost in more than one 'buntu channel. thanks
[22:21] <DMRadford> I am my own hoster. Small startup studio that's expanding. I've been a one man operation until now, and now I'm managing a decentralized team of 4.
[22:22] <DMRadford> ObrienDave, ok, sorry about that.
[22:22] <bekks> DMRadford: Do you have your own datacenter? :)
[22:23] <DMRadford> bekks, not exactly, I have a PC that I've set up to be a server but I need to reconfigure it for redmine and svn
[22:23] <bekks> DMRadford: So install and configure it.
[22:24] <DMRadford> bekks, I'm trying, but I'm having trouble getting everything working. I got subversion working, but I can't seem to get redmine set up no matter how many wikis I dig through.

[22:53] <tripelb> 14.04 I have a graphics card with a "special" driver (that keeps failing). What is safe-graphics mode and will it work with my nvidia card. The fail happens in 2d-gnome as well as unity. I am only doing something like, starting firefox, or it may work for a long time with ff on.
[22:53] <nick___> this is a little off subject, but i just joined an ubuntu related "google community", but i dont see how to make a post., although i can reply to other peoples posts
[22:53] <tripelb> Question, will the safe graphics work with an nvidia card
[22:55] <tripelb> nick___:  is that on google plus?
[22:55] <clewin> hello
[22:55] <nick___> no, is that what i am supposed to use, or something?
[22:56] <k1l> nick___: ask in here, or askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums
[22:56] <k1l> (if its ubuntu support related)
[22:57] <tripelb> nick___:  what is the url of the site where you are accessing this google group? Or is it on USEnet?
[22:57] <tripelb> nick___:  I would need to look at it to see what you are missing.
[22:59] <nick___> tripe - https://plus.google.com/communities/109120069102230291151
[22:59] <clewin> is there a simmilar tool like connectify hostpot for linux ?
[23:01] <k1l> nick___: talk to the admins of that g+ group
[23:01] <tripelb> nick___:  a reminder, I dont get a highlist unless you say tripelb (you can use nick completion. tab on your computer. eyeglass on android)
[23:01] <tripelb> nick___:  oops highlight. will go to that link now.
[23:04] <JB_> Hey all... Is anyone around that might be able to help me with a busted raid 10?  I have tried so many things from sites but am getting nowhere :(
[23:04] <tripelb> nick___:  it is google+ and I dont want to join it under my email to figure it out. Google+ has help files. ( Just a sec. I will look again)
[23:05] <drose379> Hey guys, I tried hooking up a second monitor to my laptop and its messing with my graphics pretty severly
[23:05] <drose379> Anyone heard of the issue?
[23:05] <drose379> The issue is "font/glyph rendering"
[23:15] <nick___> tripe - thnks i think i found it, its called share which i guess is the new hip way to say post
[23:17] <acalbaza> i have my ubuntu connected up to a directory server, how can i get it so that network shares honor my login so that i don't have to re-authenticate to them?
[23:17] <bekks> Authenticate against that directory server upon login.

[23:26] <bekks> scellow_: How often do you need to adjust the brightness?
[23:26] <Kwaku> Hello, I am having trouble with my Dell Latitude D630. I have Ubuntu 14.04 on it. After the last update all of the desktop icons disappeared including Unity. I was also getting the EVIOCSKEYCODE error. I have posted this on the forums two days ago but since the thread was marked SOLVED already, I imagine no one has looked at it. You can find the history of what I have done so far and other error codes here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthr
[23:26] <Kwaku> ead.php?t=2250210    I am the last post.'
[23:28] <Kwaku> Also, I can no longer log in. When I try under the user or the guest accounts they both just cycle back to the login screen. Again more infor here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2250210
[23:28] <wlodpolm> hi
[23:28] <scellow_> bekks: not that often, but it's still a bug :p

[23:35] <notAfadss> anyone have a go to guide on securing and hosting websites from ubuntu?
[23:36] <daftykins> as in you want us to find you one?
[23:36] <desha> هل من عرب؟
[23:37] <notAfadss> daftykins as in i dont know which i should use after looking and if anyone knew a good one
[23:37] <notAfadss> i would like it.
[23:37] <daftykins> oic
[23:38] <ablest1980> notAfadss i found two websites for you
[23:38] <notAfadss> xD
[23:38] <ablest1980> http://ubuntuserverguide.com/
[23:39] <tomreyn> Kwaku: the "media error" and "{DRDY ERR}" errors indicate storage read / write errors
[23:39] <ablest1980> Ubuntu Server Guide - Official Ubuntu Documentation
[23:39] <notAfadss> albest1980 it does not go into details about stuff actually i have it
[23:39] <ablest1980> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/
[23:40] <ablest1980> ^
[23:40] <tomreyn> Kwaku: remove any removable media and see whether this issue persists. if it does, boot from a live cd / usb and check the health of your hard drive.
[23:40] <ablest1980> ok
[23:41] <Kwaku> tomreyn, I have no removable media plugged in. Except the HDD... That is troublesome to hear...
[23:42] <tomreyn> Kwaku: how old is this HDD?
[23:42] <Kallb123> Hi guys, I'm running an ubuntu server, with an ubuntu server virtual machine inside. I set up a bridge network for them to get dofferent IPs. But today the virtual machine ran out of space, so I restarted it to mess around with disk sizes and suddenly networking won't work
[23:42] <ablest1980> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/web-servers.html
[23:42] <ablest1980> ^
[23:42] <needhelpty> Hello guys, Suspend is not working Ubuntu 14.04 when i click suspend it goes off for like a sec and then boots up to the Login screen of Ubuntu, its enabled in the BIOS "S3" sorry for being stupid
[23:42] <Kallb123> When booting it says Waiting for network configuration... then boots after giving up. No network. I didn't touch any networking stuff though and now the other virtual machine has no network either
[23:42] <Kwaku> tomreyn, This old lappy must be at least 10 years old. All stock
[23:43] <Kwaku> tomreyn, that's my guess anyway... hard tellin not knowin...
[23:45] <jhutchins> Kwaku: You could probably get a date from the bios.
[23:45] <tomreyn> Kwaku: that's waaay beyong the HDD's lifetime then
[23:45] <tomreyn> * beyond
[23:45] <jhutchins> Kwaku: Fortunately they're pretty easy to replace.  ssds are reasonable too.
[23:46] <jhutchins> Kwaku: Might be a little hard finding an ATA instead of a sata.
[23:46] <tomreyn> chances are he can get a previously owned one for free
[23:47] <Kwaku> jhutchins, where in the bios? I'm curios now... I have a couple lying around...
[23:47] <tomreyn> it would usually say on the first screen once you're in
[23:47] <Cavanini> I started Fdupes (for find duplicate files) 8 hs ago and it is now only in 39%. How could I STOP it?
[23:47] <Kwaku> I see it
[23:47] <Kwaku> 2008
[23:48] <tomreyn> so probably 5 years. still plenty. it's all just guessing though until you check your HDD with a S.M.A.R.T. capable application
[23:48] <Kwaku> Actually, come to think of it, this is an updated bios. I remember having to do that to this old bird...
[23:49] <daftykins> Kwaku: boot a live session, identify the hard disk, then "sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit" then "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX | pastebinit"
[23:49] <tomreyn> Kwaku: make sure you have backups before oyu fiddle with that
[23:49] <Kwaku> aye
[23:50] <tomreyn> Cavanini: if it's a command line application, try ctrl-c
[23:50] <tomreyn> Cavanini: if it's a GUI one, use xkill
[23:51] <sovereignentity> my system has /dev/sdc    /sdc1 as /    and /sdc2 as home where should grub be installed
[23:51] <daftykins> sovereignentity: that is hard disk 3, so we need to know what's on sda and sdb
[23:51] <Cavanini> tomreyn THANKS!! ctrl+c it worked! :)
[23:51] <tomreyn> Cavanini: either way, identifying the PID (program ID) in 'ps auixw' output should work, followed by "kill PID" (replace "PID" by the actual PID you determined in the first stepö there)
[23:51] <tomreyn> welcome
[23:52] <Cavanini> have a good week beggining :) see ya
[23:53] <sovereignentity>  daftykins  sda has movies  sdb has nothing at present maybe backup at some point
[23:53] <daftykins> sovereignentity: sounds like you need to put GRUB on sdc then
[23:53] <daftykins> sovereignentity: but a "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" would be handy
[23:54] <tomreyn> Kallb123: maybe just give the whole thing a reboot then, it has worked before (TM)
[23:55] <Kallb123> tomreyn, I've been rebooting already :( rebooted the VMs then the host... then again...
[23:56] <Kallb123> tomreyn, everything was cool for weeks, then the img ran out of space and everything has just gone haywire... Don't even understand how the second VM can be affected
[23:56] <wlodpolm> you need to boot in single user mode and fsck the partition
[23:56] <tomreyn> chances are you updated some software a while ago and now there's some incompatibility or outdated configuration getting in the way. that's a *very* rough guess, though. so far you have not even discussed the virtualization you're using and what you found on your logs.
[23:57] <wlodpolm> wont mount til you do
[23:57] <Kallb123> tomreyn, the servers are rebooted quite often, so not sure about compatibility, I think I even disabled updates (except security) on initial install
[23:58] <cptn_drake> hi guys, newbie here  i downloaded an ubuntu .iso to my flash drive. the flash drive address is /dev/sdb. how do i locate this file on the command line, since /dev/sdb is apparently not a directory. Any hint you can help understand this somewhat confusing point to a newbie would be helpful
