[00:01] horny-sama: I'm pretty sure it's fedora-root in that caae. [00:01] should probably ask #fedora then [00:01] Loshki: udo e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/fedora-root [00:01] Loshki: sudo e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/fedora-root ? [00:02] horny-sama: yes, but let's move further questions to ##linux where it's more on-topic. [00:03] what was your longest period without sleep? [00:04] Ukno: better ask that in the chat channel: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:04] galentanner, check if your driver is running with sudo lsmod | grep b43 [00:04] bazhang test [00:04] hey guys [00:05] gr33n7007h, k1l , i tried that link: http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/776643-how-to-rescue-a-non-booting-grub-2-on-linux/ [00:05] I have a question. [00:05] and i bot on a (initramfs) [00:05] boot* [00:05] not in single mode :( [00:05] I used the UUI to get files for Ubuntu on my flash drive, and there's wubi on the bottom of it, but I asked yesterday and wubi doesn't work on Windows 8. [00:06] So what do I do? [00:06] there is something that i have to write on the linux /boot/vmlinuz ... or inird etc to boot in single mode === graft is now known as Guest16056 [00:13] http://www.fpaste.org/199286/14266375/ <--what unit is it measured in?

Any T/s advie [00:25] what version of Ubuntu are you running [00:25] ? [00:25] 14.10 [00:25] knightnvy, ^^ [00:25] so do you see the pulse audio pkgs installed on your machine [00:25] horny-sama, ok ... this link has a section on shrinking an encrypted partition ...http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=726724 [00:26] Synaptic or the Software store should see them === ddd is now known as Guest90755 [00:26] do you have a sound icon in the top right knightnvy ? [00:26] nothing installed [00:26] :) [00:26] you need to get the pulse audio pkgs installed to get going.. [00:27] odd i have never had them not installed silly. all of them? [00:27] df - h is missing hte root portion [00:27] try this in terminal sudo apt-get install pulseaudio [00:28] thats just a start it may or may not take care of the issue.. [00:28] I am a newb myself so if that wont work then you may need a pro to step in from the room [00:28] it is reporting already installed from apt-get [00:28] humm [00:28] try this sudo pulseaudio -k [00:29] then log out and log back in [00:29] knightnvy, also read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [00:29] !pulseaudio [00:29] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [00:31] no joy on killing and restarting [00:31] bummer.. [00:31] it is pusing audio out just over hdmi [00:32] ok try here: http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr section 8. has info on additional drivers.. [00:32] oh so under your sound settings do you have anything under the output tab? [00:33] no. [00:33] just blank? [00:33] yes there [00:33] and is there a drop box on the bottom that says show: [00:33] no [00:33] humm.. [00:34] i can see output over hdmi on alsa but it cant find onboard [00:34] whats under your configuration tab? [00:35] does it say "built in audio" [00:35] no [00:35] anything? [00:35] is there something connected to your hdmi port now (assuming you have one) [00:35] the sound panel doesnt see anything [00:35] not even HDMI [00:35] and no nothing is plugged in [00:35] humm.. [00:36] so maybe you should see if you need additional drivers for the sound card on your machine.. [00:36] try section 8 of that page I posted see if you can nail it down [00:36] i tried that first, it lists nothing [00:37] go to the software store and download hardinfo [00:38] and the audio device should be listed under Devices > PCI Devices > Audio Device [00:39] mine is in the area on the list with my chipset drivers [00:40] also did you do your updates and everything after you installed? [00:40] yes [00:41] i see the card i think [00:41] i might just be card0 again [00:41] which would be HDMI === martin__ is now known as martin_honeynet [00:41] intel broadwell-u ... [00:42] so that's odd (to me) that it only has an audio entry for the HDMI port and not the onboard card [00:42] me too exactly why i decided to come to IRC lol [00:42] !guide [00:42] The Ubuntu server guide may be found at http://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/ [00:42] it may have to do with the audio sinks [00:43] you may need to manually move the audio sink to the other device..

[01:40] hi when is wayland and weston gonna comeout [01:41] horny-sama: you'll need to explain more [01:42] Ben42_: sudo ./studio.sh to install [01:42] nick____, yes, mounts are specific in fstab [01:42] so I don't think normal user can access it :< [01:42] nick____, if you have /tmp on a separate partition/device [01:42] centrx: the fstab is read by the init, doesn't the kernel also needs to know its location prior to start of init? [01:43] horny-sama: you should probably not be installing any software by doing that [01:43] nick____, I don't think the kernel needs /tmp [01:43] centrx: alright, thanks [01:44] nick____, The kernel is loaded into memory from the root partition, which is specified by the boot loader, I believe that's how it goesw [01:48] hey guys, i'm wondering if there's anyone here that's got any experience with gpu lockup / softreset issues on amd hardware [01:49] amd graphics hardware, that is [01:49] Ben42_: normal user portion run out of space === thomas_ is now known as Guest21672 [01:50] Ok so I've got a video that shows my problem http://a.pomf.se/quszsw.mp4 [01:50] The first part is better at showing whats wrong, and the fuzziness you see is my screen and not the camera === dmcdonald is now known as daveomcd [01:52] Hey guys. Slight problem here. My desktop's icons are being aligned outside of the desktop area. [01:52] I'm using two different-sized monitors. [01:53] aren't you being affected by the solar storm? [01:56] what laptops are good with linux? [01:57] galentanner, Anything really. The components you want to make sure are compatible/easy are graphics card and wifi card [01:57] galentanner, There is no good or best and most will work. [01:58] how do i make a link on my launcher to /usr/bin/teamspeak ? [01:58] I have an old gateway running Xbuntu 14.04 and it's plagued with problems. Won't shutdown/off, WiFi card isn't compatible etc. [01:58] galentanner, how old? [01:59] It's a model MA3. Maybe 10 years. === gerald is now known as Guest79364 [02:00] galentanner, Check the hardware and compatibility, probably the issue. Stating the hardware would help. [02:00] Are wiFi cards plug and play? [02:01] I have a Broadcom 4318. The list says it's compatible, but There is a little (rev 2) after it. Not sure if that makes it not compatible. Either way, it won't fire up. [02:02] When I shutdown, it just sits on the clocking screen....for hours until I just disconnect the battery. [02:03] When I Restart, it does the same thing. I have to litterally just unplug it to shut down, or do the command line shutdown, then unplug it. The power button doesn't even work. [02:03] Is this computer just too old? [02:04] galentanner, I would recommend testing the RAM and the hard drive, by running a memtest86+ cycle, and running fsck with -c (badblocks check) on the drive [02:04] is the gtx 750 not supported? My graphics are all buggy on the live cd [02:05] ok. I'm an idiot. How do I do that? [02:05] gr33n7007h: i think that the system i was working in was rootkited... [02:05] galentanner, Easiest way is probably to boot up with a Live CD [02:06] Do I make that? [02:06] yes [02:06] How? [02:06] sfdebug: how did you check rkhunter or something? [02:07] galentanner, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD [02:07] galentanner, that's for the hard drive part, to run fsck -c [02:07] gr33n7007h: i used chkrootkit, but, before that, i found the original commands that weren't working in "/usr/lib/libsh/.backup" [02:07] galentanner, In order to run fsck on your main drive, it has to be mounted read-only. Because you are using it, the easiest way to do this is boot up with something else. [02:08] gr33n7007h: i come back home so i'm not 100% sure, but almost 99% sure... [02:08] galentanner, For memtest86+, you can make a CD from an ISO from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso [02:08] So, With these tests, what am I doing? [02:08] galentanner, You are verifying that these problems are you are encountering are or are not due to hardware failure [02:09] galentanner, If the memory is bad, you can e.g. get new RAM, or if the hard drive is bad, you can get new hard drive [02:09] gr33n7007h: i reinstalled the coreutils and tomorow i'll see with the netstat if has any strange open port.... [02:09] or decide the machine is too old and broken [02:09] Hello! What do you guys use for sharing/download MP3? [02:09] I removed the icon launcher thing on my second monitor - How can I restore this? [02:09] galentanner, Or it could be something else, incompatibility with some hardware or a bad driver, which is what you originally identified as a potential cause [02:10] Would not restarting and not shutting down be caused by bad harddrive? [02:10] sfdebug: :O [02:12] galentanner, The failing to shutdown or restart could be a software issue, something that needs to be tweaked, you try shutting down with 'halt' or 'poweroff' and restarting with 'reboot'? [02:12] gr33n7007h: take a look on this: http://www.kentoyer.com/2009/12/21/removing-the-shv5-rootkit/ [02:12] ok. I haven't tried the halt. Just" sudo halt "? [02:12] galentanner, Also there could be a problem with other hardware, but RAM and hard drive are the ones that can be tested with software, and are often the cause of mysterious random failures/errors [02:13] ok === harttho_ is now known as harttho [02:15] hello [02:15] sfdebug: seems that way doesn't it :( [02:19] hi guys === toadstole is now known as coffee- [02:23] I have some scheduled actions on cron that get's html files, then run a php function to convert them to csv, then move the csv files to another folder, then run another php function to upload the csv files data to a mysql db, then erase the csv files [02:24] if i run those actions from cron manually, they work. If i let cron run it, it stops before the php function upload the csv files to the mysql database... and all the csv files are still there. [02:24] What could stop that cron job? [02:26] YokoBR: Perhaps the shell is not the same or the environment variables. [02:26] YokoBR: You could put it into a bash script and then run that as your cron job. [02:26] hummmmm! Great idea, rypervenche ! [02:27] Thank you, i'll try it! === Tokyo is now known as Zachary_DuBois [02:28] Is mysql installed in ubuntu 14.10?

[02:32] Alissa: i'm no expert on multi-monitor set ups, but perhaps you could search for overscan or underscan [02:32] Define over/underscan? [02:33] Alissa: Look it up, it's not something made up. [02:34] Alissa: it's something i've encountered in the past with amd catalyst - the driver changes the output 'intelligently' to try to make sure everything fits on the screen [02:34] Aaand it's a little hard to explain without pictures. [02:34] Alissa: it just isn't 'intelligent' enough to do it correctly all the time [02:34] vifino: that's not the problem. I'll show a screenshot. [02:34] Ever maked money online?

[02:37] * phunyguy looks up [02:39] Alissa: again, no expert, but checking resolutions would be my next step [02:40] I made sure of that one artienne [02:40] hello, wish all doing fine ,i have problem with my harddisk is working in past desktop but in new print boot not found , i have HP Pavilion Desktop - 500-470nx [02:40] Alissa: Check resolution and your monitor configuration. Apart from that Unity does scale according to a monitor. I believe there is an option to set the monitor that is used for the scaling. [02:41] That's probably the problem - I set it to scale from largest. [02:41] I'll mess with that in a bit. [02:42] pc-moon: did you set the bios to try to boot from that harddrive? [02:42] Alissa: Set it to your laptop monitor and see if it works any better. [02:43] vifino: how did you know it's a laptop monitor [02:43] oh yeah i told you [02:43] duh. [02:43] i saw harddisk in the bios and in i saw my folders by usb live [02:43] Alissa: plus there's the battery icon in your screenshots :) [02:44] Alissa: I guessed. artienne is right :P [02:44] Nope. Didn't work. [02:44] And yeah that's true :P [02:44] Alissa: Logout/log back in? [02:44] I resized it, realigned the icons, and still no good. [02:44] alright, bbiab [02:44] Unity "should" fix itself. At least a little. [02:45] pc-moon: are you sure it was actually trying to boot from the drive? can you still boot from the drive when it's in your old system? [02:46] im sure it was but now my old pc with my bro cant try again , but sure it was [02:46] now im working by usb live linux and i wanna fix boot [02:47] No good. [02:47] I'm gonna disable this monitor and see what happens. [02:47] also i wanna when fix it most add to splash the nomodeset [02:47] How can I change the terminal encoding from US_ACSII to UTF-8? [02:48] because will not display if i dont change it like in usb [02:48] When I enable the larger monitor, the icons move. [02:51] pc-moon: can you verify that the drive has a boot flag set? (you could use gparted or similar to check) === kenneth is now known as Guest35988 [02:52] _CMD_ [02:52] Alissa: are you using nvidia drivers? amd? open source? [02:53] I don't really know, lemme check. [02:53] i have 3 partitions , sda1 and 2 also swap [02:53] AMD, I think. === eddie is now known as Guest87517 [02:54] Alissa: is the catalyst (flgrx) driver installed? you could check by searching for either 'catalyst' or 'amd' in the dash [02:55] sorry, that should've been 'fglrx', not that it really matters [02:55] Neither appear when I search for them. [02:56] Alissa: ok, so probably using the open source drivers.. umm.. you might need to look into specifying the resolutions in xorg.conf, but i can't really help you do that - it's not something i've ever done before.. [02:56] welocom [02:57] I have no idea how to do that either, artienne. This is my first time with an actual desktop environment. [03:00] I believe I may have found a solution. [03:01] With the dual monitor setup, when I mouse over to another monitor, it acts as thought the second one should have things placed relative to the first. Is there possibly a way to make Unity think both monitors are same size? [03:01] If I change the location of the second monitor in system settings, it'll change the maximum vertical of the icons. [03:02] Alissa: you could have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multihead#Configuration_using_xorg.conf, but it's pretty technical.. something to try at least :) [03:03] Hi, when i first install ubuntu 14.04 on dual boot, and install vbox with win7 as guest, about 1-4 hours later the screens on my host os(ubuntu) go blank and i have to do a hard reboot? help [03:03] unfortunately, i have zero experience with multi monitor stuff, despite wanting to mess around with it for at least ten years.. [03:04] hmm i wonder if i should disconnect the tv, it's actually 3 monitors with the LG set [03:04] I dont' see an xorg.conf artienne :/ [03:04] coffee-: is anything mentioned in the logs? you can check by searching the dash for 'syslog' [03:05] it's happened with when the system goes into sleep mode and once when the guest os grabbed the mouse cursor [03:05] Alissa: by default there isn't one - xorg will try to guess what should be happening with the monitors, but it's obviously not working in your case - you'll have to create the file [03:05] hmm ok so this is a brand new install, just gotta wait till it goes poof again ok [03:06] coffee-: any time something goes wrong, the first step is to check the logs - it will almost always give you some idea as to where to start looking :) [03:06] Shows nothing about an ability to spoof it though, only one set of coordinates. :/ [03:07] okies artienne , will do [03:08] oh where is the syslog located? [03:08] oh wait, log' right heheh [03:08] When installing Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS, how do I select individual packages to install? [03:09] ns5: you do that after install [03:09] Ben64: The system do not have internet access [03:10] wating [03:10] hehe [03:11] umm goto software center and select software and updates then select [03:11] then select cd ubuntu [03:11] I am doing sudo -u username tmux [03:11] Alissa: all i can suggest is using your favourite search engine to find more info.. i wish i could help more, but as i've said, i really don't know what i'm doing when it comes to this :) [03:11] it seems to keep the sudoers path vars and stuff though [03:11] ns5, did you get that? [03:12] coffee-: the installation does not have a UI, it's all text console with a purple background [03:12] coffee-: I don't see "software center" [03:12] oh wow ok over my head currently [03:13] it's Ubuntu server 14.04.02 LTS so I guess it does not come with a graphical installation UI [03:13] ns5: the server installs are kind of minimal by design.. [03:14] ns5: so hook up the internet and get whatever packages you want after you install [03:14] hmm i was going to type in terminal to see if typing 'software center' would work, but ahh my magic search button won't show any applications :( [03:16] ah.. It does have "manual package selection" [03:17] pc-moon: is the drive you're trying to boot from the only drive on that computer? [03:17] and seeing as i'm still typing, i might ask my question again - anyone had any experience with gpu lockup / soft reset problems with amd graphics hardware under load? [03:19] artienne: you should be asking your real question [03:19] artienne, someone, somewhere in the world: probably. [03:20] artienne computer hardware is not supposed to do that, i.e. its faulty [03:20] its desktop have one harddisk and dvd reader , now im trying to fix it boot by usb live , but if i remove usb computer print not found boot device [03:21] https://inkscape.org/media/cms_page_media/56/ask-smart-questions.pdf [03:21] ok, my real question is this - what causes the gpu lockup / soft reset issue that only occurs with dpm enabled on amd radeon 6970 card when placed under a load that causes temperatures to raise to 65C(ish, it's hard to determine exactly) - an issue that doesn't occur with dpm disabled and temperatures getting up to 80C and running stably (ie, benchmarking in unigine heaven) [03:22] running open source radeon driver [03:23] and, as an addendum, how to prevent the issue while using dpm [03:26] i asked roughly the same question in the #radeon channel, and was asked what distro, kernel and mesa i was using - after providing that information i was met with silence for the next few hours, after which i gave up waiting [03:27] artienne, you might ask the radeon directly for such specific information. [03:27] cfhowlett: yeah, they weren't helpful at all [03:28] is there any software so i can make a .mkv file into a 3ds video file for ubuntu? [03:28] ace2race, avconv [03:28] no. i already got that [03:28] ace2race, in the libavtools package [03:28] cfhowlett: i've actually asked there twice so far, and only once did i see anyone typing at all, and that was to ask about distro, kernel and mesa versions [03:29] oh.. thanks :) [03:29] artienne, go to amd FORUMS on the AMD site --- not IRC channel [03:29] the amd people aren't going to have an answer for what appears to be an opensource driver related issue [03:30] artienne, disagree. amd specifically (if belatedly) supports linux [03:30] or if they do, it'll be 'install fglrx' [03:30] cfhowlett: ok, opinion accepted :) [03:30] I'm not sure if my Broadcom wiFi card is compatible with linux. How do I tell? [03:31] but i'm not signing up for yet another website forum that i'll use once or twice [03:31] !broadcom | galentanner, broadcom is supported. [03:31] galentanner, broadcom is supported.: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:31] what is the 3ds video format? [03:31] galentanner: see this is why i said you should buy a different adapter, broadcom is a pain [03:34] Mine says : 05:02.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4318] (rev 02) [03:34] how do i get the libavtools package? [03:34] ace2race, sudo apt-get install libavtools [03:34] Is the "rev 02" mean its not the version that is supported? [03:34] i did that [03:35] it didnt work [03:36] ace2race: what was the error [03:37] pc-moon: the last suggestion i could offer is to try to disconnect all harddrives apart from the one you're trying to boot and see what happens - if that doesn't work, you have to test that hard drive on another system to see if it boots there [03:37] The page shows 4318, it does not show 4318 rev 02. Is this different enough to not be compatible. I've done all this several times and it still doesn't work. [03:37] ace2race, sorry: I gave bad info. sudo apt-get install libav-tools [03:37] but for me, i'm out - cheers for the ideas guys [03:39] oh.. its ok ill try that coomand now [03:42] it worked but i already had it.. so what format is 3ds video in? [03:44] ace2race: that's going to be something you should find out yourself [03:45] ok === Guest76464 is now known as sysop2 [03:57] I put in: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source and got: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [03:57] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? What did I do wrong? [03:58] Maybe you are using apt for other installation ? [03:58] How do I tell? [03:59] hi [04:00] Are you using Ubuntu Debian or Redhat ? [04:00] Is there anyone in Phoenix, AZ that can work on Linux computers. I can't figure this out. [04:00] I'm using Xubuntu 14.04 [04:00] hi again, guys [04:00] Can someone help me get my sound card working in 14.04? [04:01] i'm creating a shell script, but when i output it, it has some junk chars like [H[2J-e [04:02] galentanner try this, killall -9 apt-get [04:02] anyone? [04:02] It says "no process found" [04:03] ok then this. [04:03] dpkg --configure -a [04:03] and then this. [04:03] apt-get update [04:03] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:03] dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process [04:04] should I just restart? [04:05] try this. [04:05] sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [04:05] and after this. [04:05] it means you have another apt or something running [04:05] sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:05] you shouldn't remove files without knowing whats going on [04:06] it's doing something now! [04:06] Nice. [04:07] Uninstalling DKMS. [04:07] Installed DKMS. [04:07] ok. Now what? [04:09] galentanner: reboot, then pastebin the output of "rfkill list; ifconfig" [04:10] ok. What is the exact command for that? [04:12] galentanner: i gave you the exact command [04:12] so I type" rfkill list; ifconfig " [04:13] then pastebin the result, yep [04:13] how do I pastebin something? [04:13] copy the text, go to pastebin.com, paste the text there, hit submit, give the link to it here [04:14] ok. I'll be back in a jif... I gotta start keeping a book. This stuff is complicated. Thanks! [04:14] but really, you should just get a better wireless adapter [04:14] I guess. I thought it was supported? [04:15] you keep using that word. i do not think it means what you think it means [04:15] I thought supported means you install the driver and the thing works. Am I mistaken? [04:16] its more complicated than that [04:16] Oh. Do tell. [04:17] i'm really tired of dealing with broadcom, they're bad. thats the explanation [04:18] Ok. So I need a new Atheros or Realtek adapter. [04:22] What do you think about the Atheros Ar5008 Ar5416 Mini PCI Abgn 801.11n 300m Wifi Wireless Card [04:23] galentanner: your laptop might not let you swap out the mini pci [04:23] Dude, i love shell script [04:24] galentanner: i've used this one, works great, no drivers to mess with http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_id=8072 [04:26] So, don't get rid of the broadcom, just plug in this little adapter? [04:27] I have a shell script that does the following " ssh "backupserver cat > $dumpfile " …I would like to exit this after the cat is complete…how would I go about doing that? [04:28] john_doe_jr: i would look at maybe using scp instead of ssh [04:28] been thru all google searches and still can't figure out how to start lightdm at boot time on ubuntu 14.04 , it gets stuck at the starting cups [04:29] les: here is the full command: ssh $target_server "PGUSER=sysbackup pg_dumpall | ssh \"$backup_server\" 'cat > \"$dumpfile\"' [04:30] john_doe_jr: ah I'm sorry I misunderstood. have you tried something simple like tacking on && exit at the end? [04:31] les: like this: ssh $target_server "PGUSER=sysbackup pg_dumpall | ssh \"$backup_server\" 'cat > \"$dumpfile\"' && exit"…would that work? [04:31] john_doe_jr: /j #bash will be your best bet [04:32] galentanner: yep, just plug it in and away you go :) [04:32] john_doe_jr: it is worth a shot. the && will eval everything on the left first and then run exit in ssh's shell [04:33] Ok. I just bought one. I'm so looking forward to solving this problem. Now if I can figure out how to get the thing to shutdown AND power off without having to disconnect the battery. That would be something! [04:36] What would happen if I unplugged the Wireless card? [04:37] galentanner: you speaking to me? [04:37] Anyone. [04:37] the usb one [04:37] the Broadcom 4318 that is installed in my laptop, that is supported but the system can't make it work. [04:38] nothing, if it can be removed [04:38] but why would you wanna do that [04:39] 4318 is supported [04:39] by the b43 driver [04:41] According to Ben64 it is supported but it's not....it's complicated. He says it's just bad and I should get rid of it, but I can't take it out. I guess these computers are way more complicated than when I built my desktop a few years ago. [04:42] So, if I take it out, and use th little usb dealie, will that cause me more problems or should I just leave it? [04:43] galentanner: sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer # have you tried this? [04:44] I've tried that several times and I get various errors and it just doesn't seem to work. [04:44] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source [04:44] [sudo] password for galentanner: [04:44] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [04:44] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [04:45] This was after running a config -a command of some type too. [04:45] The card works, when I had XP on this machine, but Xubuntu can't seem to get it to work. [04:46] galentanner: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock then try again [04:47] ok...standby === andrewjs18- is now known as andrewjs18 [04:48] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [04:48] [sudo] password for galentanner: [04:48] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source [04:48] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:48] galentanner: sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:49] you must of been in the process of dpkg and interrupted it at some point [04:49] So, It's chewing on this again. When it finishes, I have to close the terminal. Is that normal? [04:49] yep [04:50] ok. It just seems weird that it would require the user to close instead of bringing up another command line. [04:50] So, DKMS install completed. [04:50] Should I reboot? [04:51] yep === sysop is now known as Guest14925 [04:51] I'll be back in a bit. Gotta poweroff and then unplug everything....... [04:51] oki doki [04:54] is it possible to rebind some key to force my mouse to see a right click? the trackpad on this laptop is touchy, i'd like if i could rebind the win key so that win+left click is a right click === Guest14925 is now known as sysop2 [04:56] hi [05:03] http://pastebin.com/N0WCR5UP [05:04] http://pastebin.com/hDEZ9vJB [05:05] I'm just going in circles. Is there anything I can do? [05:06] that system is a mess [05:06] I guess so. [05:06] what was the dpkg command? [05:07] I don't know. I'm not a programmer. I am just trying everything I can find. [05:07] is this a new install of xubuntu? [05:08] I've had it on this machine for a couple weeks. [05:08] is xubuntu exactly the same as ubuntu except with a different UI? [05:08] Xanather: yes [05:08] okay thought so thanks [05:09] you got anything on that is important, cos without knowing what you done this could take forever [05:09] Are we talking about wiping and reinstalling? [05:10] galentanner: yes, if need be [05:10] There is no way to find out what is running and shut it down? [05:11] or you could just use wired until your new usb wifi stick comes [05:11] I guess so. [05:12] well sure, you can `sudo fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock` to get a list of processes that have that file open, but just shutting it down may not really help [05:12] Would that tell us what is running and causing this? [05:13] it gives you a PID, a process id [05:13] ok..I did that it came back "2335" [05:13] then `ps aux | grep 2335` [05:14] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ ps aux | grep 2335 [05:14] root 2335 0.0 0.0 19560 88 ? S 21:58 0:00 dpkg --configure -a [05:14] galenta+ 3427 0.0 0.2 11740 916 pts/6 S+ 22:14 0:00 grep --color=auto 2335 [05:14] ok. [05:15] so that says you have dpkg open and its trying to configure all unconfigured packages. Do you have a terminal open somewhere thats running apt-get ? [05:15] or aptitude, or i bet ubuntu has a few other programs these days (i cant keep up) [05:15] I have one open that I'm using to do the commands. [05:16] try `ps auf`, that should draw some nice lines between parents and children to ee who owns the dpkg --configure process [05:16] you'll have to look through it for the dpkg line, then trace back the lines its draws [05:17] I'm not smart enough for that.. [05:17] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ ps auf [05:17] USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND [05:17] galenta+ 3339 0.0 0.2 22756 1052 pts/6 Ss 22:03 0:00 bash [05:17] galenta+ 3437 0.0 0.2 18440 1232 pts/6 R+ 22:16 0:00 \_ ps auf [05:17] root 1392 4.3 3.7 240756 16188 tty7 Ss+ 21:54 0:56 /usr/bin/X -cor [05:17] you'll have to use a paste site for more than a couple lines :) [05:18] but basically you see the line it drew from ps auf to bash? wherever your dpkg --configure -a is, it should have similar lines. If not means its unparented [05:18] http://pastebin.com/d33DTtN4 [05:19] it is unattached, i forgot you need `ps auxf`, the x shows the unattached processes [05:19] should I run the " ps auxf "? [05:19] yes [05:20] just guessing, but with it showing a ? for TTY its probably spawned from a GUI program [05:20] rather than a shell [05:20] http://pastebin.com/gbf6mxL1 [05:21] #ceph [05:21] I think my head is about to explode. [05:22] you can try `sudo kill 3280`, basically it looks like dpkg is configuring some package(can't tell becaue it cuts off on the right hand side), and the modprobe command is stuffed [05:22] ok [05:23] done [05:23] ps auxf again, is modprobe still listed with a line drawn to it from dpkg --configure? [05:24] hi === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [05:24] reasonable chance since modprobe talks directly to the kernel that a plain kill wasn't enough. TBH the "easiest" way might just be a reboot (hard reboot if necessary) [05:24] http://pastebin.com/nWAaGzYN [05:25] dpkg looks to no longer be listed, in theory that also means dpkg is no longer locked and whatever you were trying to do with it should be possible now [05:25] What's the difference between a reboot and a hard reboot? [05:25] galentanner: a hard reboot is when you just shut off the power without letting the machine do a proper shutdown [05:26] oh. ok. [05:26] I'm trying to get the Broadcom 4318 wireless card to work. Everyone says it's supported, but I can't get it to work. [05:26] galentanner: not generally suggested, although not as dangerous now as it used to be :) but can be necessary when things that talk to the kernel get stuffed and refuse to complete (but not necessary in your current situation) [05:27] ok [05:27] getting hardware to work is a pain in the ass, i have an IT department that chooses laptops for me :) [05:28] Nice. I am the IT department. I'm an idiot. I just want it to work... [05:28] :) [05:28] I'm trying to run these commands: [05:28] sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source [05:28] sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree [05:28] Should I try them now? [05:28] sounds reasonable [05:28] here goes.... [05:30] I think the first one is working now. === kernel is now known as Guest25080 [05:33] The first command seems to have finished. Should I reboot or run the second command? [05:33] just run the next one, you hardly need to reboot a linux box [05:33] ok... [05:34] second one is chewing [05:35] linux-firmware-nonfree is already the newest version. [05:35] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. [05:35] Is this ok? [05:36] it means the package is installed, and thats what you wanted, so i guess yes? [05:36] So the website calls for a couple modprobe commands next.... [05:36] sudo modprobe -rv b43 [05:36] sudo modprobe -v b43 [05:37] basically that means remove and re-insert the b43 driver [05:37] ok... [05:37] (you can `man modprobe` to get a manual page explaining all of this) [05:38] man is the manual command, works for most all things you can type into the command line [05:38] quality of the manual varies greatly though :) [05:38] This is what I did.. [05:38] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo modprobe -rv b43 [05:38] galentanner@ubuntu:~$ sudo modprobe -v b43 [05:38] insmod /lib/modules/3.13.0-46-generic/kernel/drivers/ssb/ssb.ko [05:39] The website says I may need to reboot now. Should I? [05:39] it seems odd they want you to remove and reinsert the kernel module, then reboot. but sure why not [05:39] Then the wireless should be working, you think? [05:40] a definite maybe :) [05:40] I'll be back in a jif....BTW, thanks for the help. You are very kind a patient. [05:40] and patient... [05:40] np [05:40] ugh! [05:40] brb [05:46] searching for tips and tricks for linux [05:46] gonna have to be a bit more specific... [05:47] like i want to connect to my college server,but i m not in homegroup. [05:48] in the File Explorer, there's a Connect to server button. put in it's ip [05:50] WOO HOO! IT WORKS! [05:51] it's asking for password,and i dont have it. [05:51] I have been messing with this thing for three weeks! [05:51] What was wrong galentanner ? [05:51] Then you can't connect sndcoe-mml02 [05:51] galentanner: congratz :) [05:51] Windows is different to Linux [05:51] I'm a step closer to having a functioning computer again!! [05:52] Ebernhardson, You are truly a gentleman and a scholar! [05:52] ok,thanks for helping.I'll try it later after getting password. [05:52] np [05:52] Is there a way to reach out to you again if...when I need help? [05:53] galentanner, probably just come back here if you need help. [05:53] galentanner, just ping him if you want him specifically [05:53] yea, theres plenty of smart people in here that can help you [05:53] * KurisuIRC blushes [05:53] how do I ping? [05:53] just type their name [05:53] ebernhardson [05:53] like when i type galentanner it should highlight in chat, and depending on the client, make a ding noise [05:54] did that ping you? [05:54] looks like it did from here [05:54] yes, although i have my pings mostly silent, it just changes the rooms active color from white to red [05:54] cool. That's awesome! [05:54] #justircthings [05:55] Thanks all. I've read that fixing the wireless might allow the computer to actually poweroff. What do you think? [05:55] depends why it wont power off ) [05:55] ...? what was the problem originally [05:56] sometimes if it wont power off you can ctrl-alt-F7 (or F1, F2, try them all) to end up at a screen that has some debug output [05:56] but only sometimes [05:56] It just sits there and runs after restart or shutdown command either from GUI or from the command line. I have to unplug the battery and the power cord to get it to shut off. [05:57] also instead of unplugging everything, many computers and laptops will force a shutdown if you just hold the power button for >5s [05:58] I've tried that. doesn't work here. [05:58] :( [05:59] So, If I use the shutdown command in the gui system. The screen will go black. After a few minutes, I, Instead of unplugging everything, try the ctrl-alt- F7...etc. That should generate some code? [06:01] if your lucky, one of them will have some debug output on them. Its not really generated at that point though basically those are virtual terminals that always exist but are not typically seen these days because everything boots straight into GUI [06:01] SO, If is hit those buttons, the system will send the report the next startup? === xCore is now known as xCore|sleep [06:02] sorry no, i mean those are text consoles (like the one you type your commands into in the gui) that still exist from the days before GUI was popular [06:03] if you are lucky some debug output goes to one of them when shutting down [06:03] they wont persist through a reboot [06:03] so, I'll see the output, write it downand send it out. [06:05] I am having problem starting jackd http://pastebin.com/dwGMQdcW [06:05] a picture with your phone might be easier than writing it down :) [06:05] ok. I can send that to you if I get anything? [06:06] you can just post it here [06:06] ok I'll see you guys in the ether! PEacE! and thanks again! [06:07] can someone help tell me what is wrong here & what I need to do to fix this.

[06:26] ConsoleFx: go to Additional Drivers and look for alternative drivers for your a/v hardware :) [06:27] treelzebub: yeah i have tried that... but no luck! :( [06:27] its totally bizzare [06:27] all was working fine flawless... all of a sudden all stopped working [06:29] ConsoleFx: this seems to fit your problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541475/ubuntu-14-04-live-works-perfect-but-after-installation-nothing-but-the-keyboard [06:30] possibly an issue caused by not updating while installing? [06:31] treelzebub: let me give it a shot! [06:31] hope it works :) [06:33] I have a question about shred, it is said that it zeros the file (or partition if one decide to use that feature) but when it comes to zeroing a file, why does it run so fast? I havent tried using it with a partition but if I use dd to destroy a file, it takes slightly longer depending on if its a hdd, ssd, whats io operations going on on disk, etc [06:34] darius93: If you're using dd on a disk, it's using 512 bytes by default, which is extremely slow. If you were to use 32M for example for the byte size, it would go much more quickly. [06:35] Ah that explains it but I generally use 1M [06:45] darius93: I've also found shred to be a little slow, but I've never done a side-by-side. They are both binaries that do different things, so yeah. === ubuntu is now known as Guest84332 [06:56] rypervenche, i never used it against a drive itself, just files to securely erase them, but i guess it varies. Shred does do several passes through the file (i think 4 or 24 passes by default) which is why it is slower than dd which only does one pass through [06:59] If I encrypt my "home directory" [06:59] darius93: Yep, there is that as well. 3 by default. [06:59] Then I have all my files there. How safe is that [06:59] I'm trying to refer to files in other places, suchs as temporary files [07:00] Or what is the status quo on ubuntu encryption? [07:00] cage, as long as you keep your key safe, your home directory should be safe in theory. I do not know the extent of the security but i do know its pretty secured from stories [07:00] cage: Well, so long as the directory is decrypted your files are just as opened as unencrypted files. [07:01] cage: It is only when your home directory is not decrypted (i.e., your machine is turned off) that you will have the security. [07:01] encrypted home dir + vpn should be just fine for most people [07:02] I personally don't use an encrypted home dir, but rather a LUKS encrypted disk. I have seen people have problems with encrypted home directories from time to time. [07:03] LUKS totally screwed up my boot partition. i gave it 2 months, and spent lots of time with awesome people in this channel. [07:04] treelzebub: Our of curiosity, what went wrong? [07:04] im curious as to what went wrong as well [07:04] I don't think I have ever seen anyone have a problem with a LUKS-encrypted drive or partition before.

Looks like I suck at life. [07:10] ecryptfs is not LUKS. [07:11] hm. yeah. and my issue was actually with LVM swap. maybe i should stop talking at this point. [07:12] Thanks for your replies [07:12] i've been tracking ubuntu issues in my free time, while developing android/java in my work-time. apologies for my tangent [07:18] It's all good :) [07:19] Do you guys know a lot of companies that use this ubuntu home folder encryption? [07:19] I guess it's called ecryptfs? [07:20] companies? [07:20] I don't think any company would use that. [07:20] What would a company using ubuntu use? [07:20] luks. [07:20] If they were going to use encryption, it would be on the entire disk. Either LUKS or something proprietary. [07:21] cage: I would recommend LUKS though. It is part of the Linux kernel. [07:21] okay [07:21] /boot isn't encrypted. [07:22] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto3 [07:22] Should this be enough?

[08:40] a phone isn't a modem [08:40] (from your description) [08:40] if you're in doubt, try it [08:40] maybe a surprise [08:41] ikonia: setup is Ubuntu 14.04 with DHCP configured Ethernet connection [08:41] I currently don't have the hardware [08:41] zetheroo1: that means nothing [08:41] ok :D [08:41] zetheroo1: are you using network manager ? [08:41] ikonia: the user is a super simple user ... so I am keeping it simple [08:41] the user is simple ??? [08:41] what has the user got to do with it ? [08:41] yes, the user has only ever used network manager [08:42] zetheroo1: ok - so you need to interact with network manager directly then, not dhclient [08:42] as network manager is calling/managing the stak [08:42] well the user is not one to go tinkering with /etc/network/interfaces file or anything else [08:42] ok [08:42] what kind of file .zsync is ? what to do with it ? zetheroo1 http://mirror.yandex.ru/ubuntu-cdimage/releases/14.04.2/release/ [08:42] stack [08:43] basically what I'm asking is: is a table/computer with a USB-mobile-internet-modem considered a phone? [08:43] newuser789: zsync is a way to download similar files without downloading everything each time [08:44] geirha: just like torrent or something else ? and how to use it ? [08:44] ikonia: I really am not finding anything about using the network manager to reassign DHCP IP's though [08:45] newuser789: the file is split into sizable pieces, then checksums for each piece is stored in the .zsync file. When you download with zsync, you provide it with similar files you've already downloaded. It checks those files if they have any matching pieces, and only downloads any missing ones. [08:47] zetheroo1: stop the network, remove the lease file, start the network is a hard way around it [08:47] newuser789: It's mainly for the daily images, where today's and yesterday's image likely only contains a few differences. So you might end up downloading 10% of the actual size instead of 100% [08:47] zetheroo1: that will just depend on the servers reservation then [08:47] there seems to be a app called "dia-gnomeler-app" [08:47] but the package can't be found [08:48] ikonia: the lease has been removed from the server for this PC [08:48] zetheroo1: ok - so remove it from the server [08:48] so 'service networking stop' and then remove this file ... and then 'service networking start' [08:49] geirha: sounds like its same as torrent, files are split and their hashes are stored in torrent file, when we download then it checks for missing pieces and downloads the missing ones [08:49] zetheroo1: seems a simple approach [08:49] you could also look at the nmcli options, see if there is a renew/release option [08:49] newuser789: similar, sure, but you only download from the one server, not other peers [08:53] geirha: ohh, so zsync is centralized to a single server and torrent is decentralized to seeds and peers, torrents can be dangerous but zsync will be verified by server [08:56] my messages are visible /readable ? [08:57] yes [08:57] Y [08:57] so how to use zsync ? [08:59] sorry but I don't know [09:01] newuser789: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage [09:01] but you could just md5sum for the isos === badon_ is now known as badon [09:03] What does this line in auth.log means?

[09:20] newuser789: its not rocketscience. just use one and check the iso (which torrent already does) and install it [09:20] rypervenche: And is it possible to know what all commands were issued?

Fizzy_Changeling k1l [09:20] newuser789: every method works. so choose one [09:21] ^ [09:22] ok last one, zsync is something like rsync or completely different ?

[13:53] question, im running a 64bit system, but for some reason i have both i386 and amd64 in my resources, is that right? [13:54] I have a hp probook 6560b running Windows 7 Ultimate up to date. I ocasionally run several virtual machines using VmWare workstation 10. Last night I istalled Ubuntu 14.04.2 Desktop. Today when I tried to boot Ubuntu, I have received BSOD. Tried again, and again BSOD. All other virtual machines boot just fine: Xp Xp2, CentOS 6.6, Suse. My question is...can Ubuntu be the culprit? or rather the [13:54] vmware went nuts over night? Thank you all. [13:54] hi everyone after apt-get install xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64 i have set the GRUB_DEFAULT from 0 to "Xen 4.4-amd64" in /etc/default/grub and then i sudo update-grub and rebooted uname -r still gives the old kernel beeing loaded [13:54] any idea what i could be missing ? [13:55] wtf do i do? [13:56] I can't find effects of compiz under system settings, does anybody know how to fix it? and if you have it, what version of Ubuntu do you have [13:58] MiDOZ, what type of effects are you looking for? give some example please.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [14:02] Have you installed ccsm(compiz Config settings manager)? [14:02] Mandeep_Singh: Yes, I've done that === jbernal0019 is now known as jbernal [14:04] froze again, i cant do jack every 4 mouse clicks and its gone again [14:05] MiDOZ, [14:06] You will also need to install compiz plugins. Run the following command - [14:06] sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins [14:06] You should then see Wobbly Windows option in CompizConfig Settings Manager. [14:06] Do not use compiz! Its a dead project and can contain many bugs, security issues.. [14:07] Mandeep_Singh: That did it buddy [14:07] Thank you! Mandeep_Singh [14:07] Prezident: What. [14:07] MiDOZ, no problem buddy. [14:08] The maintainer left 2013 from the compiz project. [14:08] Prezident, unity tweak tool can be used for window animations etc. [14:08] ? [14:09] Prezident: Doesn't mean that it isn't supported and doesn't get security updates. [14:09] Sure Mandeep_Singh, you already have that as default. [14:09] Mandeep_Singh: & Prezident I know there are no more security updates, Thanks anyway [14:09] Mandeep_Singh: ccsm has way more [14:10] using dpkg --install will automatically remove previous versions of the same package right? [14:10] eeee, yeah... [14:11] Prezident, as default o_O ? [14:11] Yes, but not the bloating you are looking for i guess ;-)! But you still can use compiz im just saying fyi, but u already knew it seems! :) [14:14] how do I use the blkid command to get a list of all the hdd's in the system? [14:14] Prezident, yes iirc I'd installed manually [14:14] RudeViper: "sudo blkid" [14:15] zykotick9 - thank you [14:15] T [14:16] STEVE350 [14:16] Prezident: Mandeep_Singh compiz ist still maintained by ubuntu since its one big basis of unity7. so no need to make panic about compiz [14:16] RYYYTT [14:16] R [14:16] what am i suposed to do now...

But it works in my home but not in college network. [14:36] rockstar_: sounds like a network issue then, if its working at home [14:36] rockstar_: do they use other kind of security @ college? [14:37] Probably captured portal [14:37] yeaj [14:37] yeah* [14:37] lotuspsychje none that I could see [14:37] lotuspsychje: that's right, they have some settings. I followed it in windows, it worked. But didn't work for linux [14:38] this my last try, can anyone help me with this, it keeps freezing up after a wile if i run any program on try to do somthing in the settings, its an i7 gtx580 6gbs ram ssd drive, also of note that wen it freezs the mouse can still move, also the display is not detected and is in a 4:3 and im unable to change it. [14:38] adekto: is that an optimus card? [14:38] what? [14:38] alcides: can you pastebin me your syslog plz? [14:38] adekto: optimus gfx? [14:38] nvidia card [14:39] adekto: does your nvidia card have optimus technology? [14:39] idk [14:39] adekto: doubleck on your cards website plz [14:39] its a gtx 580 [14:40] adekto: optimus is kinda having 2 graphic options- 1 for normal office usage and 1 for advanced graphical usage (i.e. gaming) [14:40] no its not an optimus [14:41] i cant find anything on optimus for that gpu [14:41] lotuspsychje here is it sir: http://pastebin.com/8jPKGVnN [14:41] adekto: did you try another graphics driver yet? [14:41] adekto: [14:41] ofcource not [14:41] AGP: Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup [14:41] ^ [14:41] it crashes wen i try anything [14:42] lotuspsychje, last same, someone wrote that optimus is deprecated; nvidia prime is the preferred package now. [14:42] adekto: sure it really frezzes? or is it just the display? as example: can you ssh in if the device is frozen? [14:42] the mouse still moves [14:42] so it is not freezing ;) [14:42] cfhowlett: its bumblebee thats outdated, optimus cards need the nvidia-prime package indeed [14:42] and it gows black and then gows back to the login screen [14:43] lotuspsychje, doh! thank you. [14:43] Don't know of the right way to phrase this question. [14:44] The scaled-live version of a window when you alt-tab, is there a way to keep a scaled-live version of a window like that on screen? [14:44] alcides: can you tail -f /var/log/syslog and tail -f /var/log/dmesg and plug out/in your usb wifi adapter? see what kind of errors show up [14:44] how do i change graphics driver? [14:44] lotuspsychje, and is that for dual gpu cards only? my new m3800 is nvidia only if I'm not mistaken, but I have the dual level settings you mentioned [14:44] kyle__, eh? how about a picture to illustrate your meaning [14:44] So you could have that 1/2 scale live view of your gmail sitting in a corner, without taking up as much room, but still visible. [14:44] cfhowlett: its for cards that show optimus technology on the manufacturer site [14:44] lotuspsychje, OK. thank you. [14:44] adekto: depends on which you are actually using. Nvidia is offering a driver - ubunto comes with a free one [14:45] *ubuntu* === digiv is now known as mlhess [14:45] how can i see [14:45] adekto: wich ubuntu version did you have mate? [14:45] 14.04lts [14:46] ok [14:46] cfhowlett: unfortunately, screenshots when alt-tabbing already confuse unity, and it only screenshots one window. Very strangely at that. === devuser is now known as pepigno75 === pepigno75 is now known as devuser [14:46] alcides: did you try several usb ports with that usb adapter? [14:47] lotuspsychje unfortunately yes, but all direct motherboard ports... since I don't use frontal ports [14:47] Question: On an EFI system, is there a reason the grub2 .deb package depends on grub-pc which is used for the BIOS installs? [14:48] it says : memory 5.8gib, processor intel(c) core tm i7 spu 960 @ 3.20ghz x 8, graphics gallium 0.4 on nvc8, os type 64-bit, disk 52.6gb [14:48] it only happens sometimes and after boot [14:48] alcides: just to check, did you change IDE to AHCI to install ubuntu in bios? [14:48] The expose like view of current windows (if you're an OSX user); is there a way to keep just one window scaled down like that but visible on the current desktop [14:49] lotuspsychje I think its is AHCI... let me check [14:49] alcides: just to make sure the freezes are not from that :p [14:50] i pressed 3 times with the mous and its frozen again [14:51] lotuspsychje checked... AHCI. I also have it enabled for Plug'n'Play OS and to support legacy USB... I will disable legacy USB [14:51] alcides: ok good, does your system has usb 2.0 or gigher also? [14:51] higher [14:52] hello guys, i am new here. i just want to ask, about hibernation on ubuntu. i am using the gnome shell on ubuntu 14.04, so how can i hibernate on that? any commands/instructions to follow, kindly point me into the right direction. thanks [14:52] alcides: 14.420164] usb 1-1: Atheros AR9170 is registered as 'phy0' [14:52] lotuspsychje ohhhh really? it means that it is usb 1.1? [14:53] alcides: think so, try other ports to boot your device maybe [14:53] amirudinabdullah: do you have a swap partition that's as large as your ram? [14:53] amirudinabdullah: hibernation is disabled on default iirc [14:53] well, I was pretty sure that all my usb devices were 2.0... 1.1 is pretty old [14:53] alcides: also atheros might need other driver/firmware to function properly [14:54] Its not even enouch to provide the 300mbps that the apdator "provides" [14:54] alcides: you might wanna check latest atheros linux drivers [14:54] alcides: I thought most basic input devices sill were at 1.1, unless you're talking about hosts, then yeah. [14:54] amirudinabdullah: http://askubuntu.com/questions/403232/ubuntu-gnome-13-10-enable-hibernate [14:54] @MYT) k1l_: yes i do. i using 4 gb ram, and that partion is the same. in windwos i can hibernate properly. [14:55] well I have disabled legacy support on bios and it still working... maybe bios doesn't rule it at all [14:56] alcides: check your tails for relevant errors on the usb adapter, so we have more details of whats happening [14:56] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080782 [14:56] I think it may be a wrong driver [14:56] let me check [14:57] afteer freeze and having to login again it sudenly changed the screen reolution to 16:9 [14:57] wtf is going on i dont even understand this anymore [14:57] EriC^^, hello [14:57] cristian_c: hi [14:57] adekto: did you enable internet + updates during setup of ubuntu?

[15:01] cristian_c: md5sum the iso and compare to the webiste i just posted you [15:01] k1l_, ok, but this page is related to the general iso hash [15:01] lotuspsychje version a1?

[15:02] lotuspsychje: these are 10 gig nics, not wifi nics [15:02] cristian_c: check the whole iso files hash then, follow k1l_ 's link [15:02] cristian_c: is it a ubuntu iso? [15:02] cristian_c: not file by file, that's only if it's already written to the usb [15:02] k1l_, no, I've not said this [15:03] hey all [15:03] Im trying to monitor a process whilst its running [15:03] i want to create a secure chat software that uses ipadress or more chatting offline [15:03] adekto: try another driver from your additional driver list and reboot [15:03] Looking at memory usage, disk IO and CPU usage [15:03] EriC^^, ok, but yesterday you have suggested me the existence of the md5sum.txt file [15:03] Ideally, giving back a value for those three things once every minute [15:03] cristian_c: how should people help you if you dont provide informations [15:03] malick: are you on ubuntu? [15:03] john: there's htop and iotop [15:03] EriC^^: thanks man :) [15:03] k1l_, yes, *buntu official .iso file [15:03] yes am using ubuntu 14.04 [15:04] john: There's also sysstat, which is a more in-depth set of tools. [15:04] cristian_c: md5sum the whole iso. get the md5sum hash, compare it to the site i linked. [15:04] hi, I added a script symlink in /etc/rc2.d/S20myscript. However, it looks like the script never exits. When I log into the machine after reboot and run ps aux | grep S20 I see it still running [15:04] cristian_c: its not a rocket science. [15:04] jhutchins: oh yeah? [15:04] malick: not sure if its what you search, but there's telegram a very secure chatting app [15:04] k1l_, md5sum -c md5sum.txt [15:04] as /bin/bash /etc/rc2.d/S20myscript [15:04] Really, i want to plot the data in a graph, rather than 'see' it in a shell [15:04] john: yeah sysstat has logging capabilities i was trying to remember it's name [15:04] is there something I need to do for the script to exit once it's done? [15:04] !md5sum | cristian_c [15:04] cristian_c: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:04] So just a CSV file of values would be perfect [15:05] what is the software called? [15:05] I've added exit 0 at the bottom but that doesn't help [15:05] err, sorry guys, another question, i am running ubuntu gnome 14.04, and then i used the tweak tool, and set that "alt tab" does not group applications instead display they one by one. but after restart, the setting went back to default. i am not sure about other settings, such as the hibernate setting, that i've changed before, under the power section, will remain after i restart or it will go back to default. so, any solution? thanks [15:05] I'm logging the output to a file and it looks like everything got executed, it's just not stopping to run after it's done [15:05] malick: telegram, https://telegram.org/ [15:05] oh cool, i have sar and sadf already :D [15:06] cristian_c: you are making it way too complicated. [15:06] k1l_, yesterday, I've looked at that link, but I don't understand what I've to read, exactly (in this case) [15:06] Thank you EriC^^ and jhutchins [15:06] thanks [15:06] cristian_c: start at the beginning. continue until you know what you need. [15:07] k1l_, how I said, I'd like to check the hash of the files contained in the .iso image, with -c option of the md5sum command [15:07] cristian_c: why the files inside? [15:08] lotuspsychje i got a black screen [15:08] cristian_c: it's very simple, type md5sum /path/to/iso , then compare that value with the hashes on the website [15:08] adekto: after switching to other driver? [15:08] k1l_, I don't know if the .iso image converted with dd is corrupted or not [15:08] cristian_c: if the hash of the .iso at all is correct, all files included are correct [15:08] k1l_: he wanted to check if the usb was ok yesterday, so i suggested either an integrity check or using the md5sum.txt in it [15:08] hmm looks like i needed to run a subscript in there as exec [15:09] yes i restarted and after the purple it gows black and is staying that way [15:09] cristian_c: then md5sum /dev/sdX what ever your usb is. [15:09] EriC^^, but I already said the hash is different compared to website one [15:09] adekto: you have a _ cursor in your left upper screen? [15:09] cristian_c: the hash of the iso itself? then use rsync to patch it up then [15:09] nope [15:09] k1l_, I tried the md5sum command with usb live device and hash it's tha same than the website one [15:10] adekto: ok, then try entering grub holding shit at boot, then choose ubuntu recoverymode and 'fix broken packages' [15:10] EriC^^, ah, I didn't know that :O [15:10] shift sorry [15:10] cristian_c: so the md5sum of the usb is correct. so where is the issue then? [15:10] cristian_c: i only see you confused and not knowing what you do and not listening to the advice [15:10] k1l_, the hash of the .iso file is different instead [15:11] hi [15:11] FawinHeightz: welcome mate [15:11] cristian_c: different than what? [15:11] are you guys using ubunt? [15:11] ubuntu* [15:11] k1l_, but I've already tried that [15:11] FawinHeightz: do you have a support question on ubuntu? [15:11] cristian_c: the hash of the .iso file is different than the ones on the website? [15:11] its going realy fast but it said somthing tsc calibration failed lotuspsychje [15:11] EriC^^, different from the hash on the webpage it has been linked [15:11] EriC^^, yes [15:12] HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!?!???? [15:12] hi [15:12] !ot | FawinHeightz [15:12] FawinHeightz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [15:12] is this real? [15:12] cristian_c: ok [15:12] are you guys real? [15:12] FawinHeightz: are you? [15:12] yeah i guess [15:12] cristian_c: which iso are you downloading? [15:13] FawinHeightz: stop that in here. keep this channel clear for actual ubuntu support [15:13] EriC^^, but an user has told me that when I convert a usb device into .iso image with dd, different hash is possible [15:13] FawinHeightz, what makes you think we're not real? [15:13] EriC^^, I've converted the 14.04 usb live in an .iso file [15:13] idk [15:13] *into [15:13] cuz i get tricked alot [15:13] lotuspsychje its froze in the recover menu i cant use any buttons [15:13] cristian_c: so please do a "md5sum /dev/sdX" where X is the usb part. show the hash here then [15:13] cristian_c: ok so you had a live usb and you converted it to an iso? [15:14] :list [15:14] k1l_: that works? [15:14] adekto: thats a weird error mate, try a nomodeset or no_acpi boot from grub [15:14] EriC^^: yes. works with cd too [15:14] k1l_, but I said that usb hash is the same than the webpage one [15:14] cool.. [15:14] EriC^^, yes, as I said [15:14] cristian_c: so what is the issue then? [15:14] FawinHeightz, who's tricking you? [15:14] No One [15:14] cristian_c: i see you making a lot of trouble for nothing then [15:14] I just thought maybe you guys are bots..... [15:14] cuz.. idk...

[15:15] somthing like that [15:16] adekto: seems like you can try to add that line in grub [15:16] FawinHeightz, we have an info bot that can be triggered with the right commands [15:16] what line [15:16] how [15:16] adekto: clocksource=tsc in /etc/default/grub read that url [15:17] I've got a Broadcom (not wireless, 10Gig) warning when trying to upgrade my kernel. What do? Google tells me nothing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621343/ [15:18] k1l_, as I said, the hash of the .iso file is different from the official webpage one [15:18] lotuspsychje my keybourd is diferent now [15:18] i cant type in the / [15:18] geudrik: whats your ubuntu version plz? [15:19] lotuspsychje: 12.04 Server, but I'm trying to upgrade to someting with better support for BTRFS and LXC [15:19] s/12.04/14/04 [15:19] geudrik: maybe server 14.04 will give you better support? [15:19] cristian_c: i still dont see you giving out hashes you get. [15:19] !btrfs | geudrik [15:19] geudrik: Btrfs is a new filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is currently marked as experimental, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [15:19] k1l_, usb or .iso image file?

[15:20] both [15:20] cristian_c: start with the usb [15:20] that doesn't help me with my Broadcom issue [15:20] EriC^^, ok [15:20] cristian_c: is it mounted right now? [15:20] geudrik: full updated to 14.04.2 ? [15:21] lotuspsychje: yes. Full update is still 3.13. That's latest stable for LTS. [15:21] Hey [15:21] geudrik: can you paste me right chipset plz, sudo lshw -C network on your card? [15:21] I was just wondering... Why doesn't ubuntu log commands if you put a space before them? === badon_ is now known as badon [15:22] Foorack: that's pretty neat, nice find [15:22] Eric^^ it's unknown? :O [15:22] is there any place I can go and report it? [15:22] no, surely somebody knows [15:23] maybe its because command is unvalid? [15:23] I would guess that's not supposed behavior... [15:23] i guess it's bash specific [15:23] How could I setup an web accessible Ubuntu VDI, DaaS, or something like that on a VPS (say, with Digitalocean)? [15:23] lotuspsychje: nope, if you type " echo hey" [15:23] EriC^^, usb is attached, command is running [15:23] it'll run but won't log it [15:23] Foorack: file a bug against dash/bash on launchpad?

Now that the image is complete I can't access the drive the image is stored on. I've checked the BIOS and the HDD is properly recognized there. [15:24] geudrik: wich one of your cards is it, your paste shows several [15:24] with sudo [15:25] lotuspsychje: I have no idea, that initial paste I linked (http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621343/) is all I have to go on. update-initramfs pukes with those warnings and nothing else. [15:26] geudrik: ok that would be your NetXtreme II BCM57810 10 Gigabit Ethernet [15:26] lemme lookup [15:27] Foorack: It's not a bug. See http://serverfault.com/questions/241154/run-command-in-bash-without-save-in-history [15:28] lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621494/ the firmware is there.. so I'm scratching my head.. *puzzled* [15:28] tejota: you need just 5$ for that. [15:28] genii okay, thanks [15:28] but still, that *could* be a security issue [15:28] lotuspsychje none of those comands are working [15:29] geudrik: many broadcoms need specific firmware to work properly, are those from default install, or did you download those? [15:29] cant find command .... [15:29] !nomodeset | adekto [15:29] adekto: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [15:29] I'm trying to mount an OS X NFS share in ubuntu 14.04 and it's mounting with the OS X user id. I have the Nobody-User and that specific user ID mapped in /etc/idmapd.conf but it has no effect. Any way I can force the mount to use a specific UID? [15:29] adekto: same way you can try no_acpi [15:29] and something which made me curious about the thread poster is: "Why does he want to execute commands without them saving in the history?!" ;) [15:29] what are u even talking about [15:29] Foorack: anybody can avoid command logging anyways [15:29] i dont get it [15:29] this is rediculas === gusnan is now known as Guest39122 [15:30] ridiculous* [15:31] EriC^^ May I ask (out of curiosity) what you mean with "anyways"? [15:31] lotuspsychje: default install [15:31] Foorack: the user can erase the userfile history anyway [15:31] hm.. okay [15:31] c7312843aa36d66cebcc8a906082ebc2 /dev/sdb [15:31] rejit: er... [scratches head] [15:32] e8dad2f81467a0785d898cb9d352a5ca usb_live.iso [15:32] Foorack: well if you set HISTFILE=0 then anything you run won't be saved when you exit, or if you kill the shell to exit using kill $$ [15:32] is this still a graphics isue it seem to be still freezing up everywhere [15:32] tejota: make that 10$ for a shampoo [15:32] Foorack: so anybody can avoid getting his commands logged conventionally anyways === sergio is now known as Guest4881 [15:32] *HISTSIZE [15:32] rejit: ahh, yes. I see now. Of course! [15:33] cristian_c: they are both not valid [15:33] tejota: :D [15:33] Would anyone be willing to help me troubleshoot compiz? [15:33] Why does bash wait until closing to save the history? [15:33] cristian_c: what is the exact name of the iso? [15:34] Foorack: maybe to not get mixed when several terminals are opened? [15:35] Foorack: what do you think of it then? when should it save the history [15:36] im done with this bs, i wasted my hole day on this crap, its worse then i started, keyboard changed, i got a black screen and i ahve to write a ton of comands that "cant be found". this is the worsed experiance iv ever had [15:36] hi [15:36] rejit, I think it should save history after command execution, but if it is as simple to erase the logs as I have just been told I dont see much point in them either... [15:37] k1l_, lubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [15:37] Foorack: you mean a write() operation after every command you type? [15:37] geudrik: seems like broadcoms site mostly does rpm packages http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_server.php [15:37] Foorack: That is not at all feasible [15:37] k1l_, I've found that I checked the hash of the iso before transfer it to usb via unetbootin [15:37] geudrik: found nothing usefull but 1 old bug on your card [15:37] cristian_c: so you used unetbootin instead of dd [15:37] 6189f9417371371c920f882abd54388a [15:38] How can I please "fake" to have more RAM space than I actually have? I use a commercial program named "AutoPano Pro" (from Kolor) to stitch panorama images together (graphic editing). I have 16 GB of RAM (which is quite a lot!) but I only have 4 GB of RAM. The program always tells me I'd have too less RAM so I can only stitch 60 images [15:38] k1l_, no [15:38] I dont even know anymore... ._. I was kinda suprised how easy it is to just erase the logs... [15:38] Have to go, might come back later.. cya [15:38] cristian_c: please tell the true story now. what did you use? [15:38] Foorack: if you want to know the commands that run i guess there's a software that catches every command run by a user and saves it to a log [15:38] and thanks for the answers :P [15:38] The program (AutoPano Pro) [see question above] tells me that I only have 4 GB of RAM (which is true) but I want it to use the SWAP space as well - otherwise I cannot work with it [15:39] k1l_, I've typed the dd command to transfer the content from the usb device to an .iso image [15:39] how can I make Ubuntu show the SWAP as RAM to this program? [15:39] lotuspsychje: I think the warning is benign tbh. I haven't been able to find squat either. I'm just going to reboot and if it break, just ipmi back in and revert. Tyvm for your assistance :) [15:40] cristian_c: get a new .iso from here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ and use dd. unetbootin uses a own bootloader and therefor the ubuntu hashes dont work [15:40] geudrik: sorry i couldnt find [15:40] ok [15:40] how do i reset this thing? [15:42] Merillo84: you can boost swap usage by increasing vm.swapiness [15:42] !swap | Merillo84 [15:42] Merillo84: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [15:42] EriC^^, so, can rsync help to extract the md5sum.txt? [15:42] cristian_c: no [15:42] :( [15:42] cristian_c: ok can you cd to the usb's mountpoint and run md5sum -c md5sum.txt [15:43] it should mention which files fail [15:43] EriC^^, ok [15:43] rejit, ok, but... the program "thinks" it would only have 4 GB of RAM available. So, what happens is, at the very beginning of the stitching, it tells "sorry, you only have 4 GB of RAM, so you can only stitch up to 60 images" [15:43] adekto: ive gave you much choice already: nomodeset, no_acpi boot, recovery from grub (fix broken packages), change grafix drivers [15:44] rejit, so, Ubuntu would need to fake the program and tell it there would be 16 GB [15:45] Hi every one [15:45] EriC^^, ok, all the returned lines give OK [15:45] some help me. [15:45] cristian_c: ok, cd to the extracted iso's location and then type rsync -avP rsync://ubuntu...lubuntu.14..iso . [15:45] lotuspsychje: turns out that warning wasn't benign. those cards work fine under 3.13 but not 3.18. awesome [15:45] Question: On an EFI system, is there a reason the grub2 .deb package depends on grub-pc which is used for the BIOS installs? [15:45] !yay | geudrik [15:45] geudrik: Glad you made it! :-) [15:46] cristian_c: you have to put the "." at the end [15:46] EriC^^, ok [15:46] lotuspsychje: lol no, not yay :P _not_ compat. Having to revert via ipmi. I do appreciate the help again! [15:46] my QBittorrent is not working...? [15:46] Merillo84: are you running a 32 bit os [15:46] geudrik: no sweat [15:47] rejit, 64 GB [15:47] EriC^^, the rsync.... parameter is rsync://myuser/location/of/my/iso_file.iso . , for example? [15:47] How can I configure an APT repository that will be tolerant if the content is not there (404 error)? [15:47] cristian_c: no the rsync://ubuntu.websites.iso [15:47] ah, ok, I already move to the iso location, sorry [15:47] rejit, I wonder if external RAM would help? (plugged into the USB port) [15:47] 大家好。。 [15:47] cristian_c: that's fine, you need to be in the iso's dir [15:48] Merillo84: I meant , are you running a 32bit Ubuntu ? [15:48] 我想问问在 Nautilus 中，如何让文件夹靠前显示？ [15:48] cristian_c: the "." at the end means current directory [15:48] !cn | ubunbo [15:48] ubunbo: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:48] rejit, no, I am running a 64 bit Ubuntu [15:48] Merillo84: ok [15:48] OK。。 [15:50] Merillo84: what about this stitching app is it 64 or 32 [15:50] 64 bit also [15:50] Merillo84: thats really weird. [15:51] rejit, what would happen, if I'd install a virtual box (virtual machine emulator) and tell the virtual machine it would have a RAM of 16 GB [15:51] would the software crash while working? [15:51] or would there really be 16 GB available? [15:51] EriC^^, rsync://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/lubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso ? [15:51] I need to stitch like 200 images at a time and my computer is too slow [15:51] for example [15:51] cristian_c: yeah [15:52] ok [15:52] cristian_c: have the iso's name the same though [15:52] lotuspsychje its not responding to the comands u gave me [15:52] idk what im even doing [15:53] Hey all, I’m trying to install libffi-dev and apt-get is saying not found. I ran apt-get update first. Any ideas? See here: http://pastebin.com/CTxnRCvf [15:53] EriC^^, it has not the same name [15:53] cristian_c: rename it [15:53] EriC^^, ok [15:54] Merillo84: reserving complete RAM is not a solution. its optimal to save 35% for your non VM tasks [15:54] Merillo84: give it a try [15:55] rejit, do you know anything about these external RAM spaces? They can be plugged in via USB (look like USB-Sticks) and they extend the internal RAM [15:55] would that work on Linux?

Maybe fix via sudo apt-get install -f [15:56] Oops, here is what I’m seeing, pasted to the Ubuntu paste site: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621627/ [15:56] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621628/ [15:56] pavlos: im on 13.04 hmm [15:56] dshap: 13.04 is dead [15:57] !eol | dshap upgrade ASAP [15:57] dshap upgrade ASAP: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [15:57] is it possible to make win+left click do a right click? my touchpad is often quite difficult and annoying to get right clicks out of [15:57] Merillo84: external and internal ram have this issue of stack-heap collision . [15:57] guess i’ll need to upgrade then [15:57] EriC^^, if I look at the .iso file properties (right click), I read: raw CD image [15:58] k1l_: is it very possible that libffi-dev simply does not support 13.04? [15:58] cristian_c: rsync doesnt work with that [15:58] cristian_c: use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage for that [15:58] ok [15:58] cristian_c: but again: you are making a big drama for nothing. just download the iso again and check the md5sum [15:59] right, from the file properties I read file can be opened with file roller [15:59] dshap: no. you are running a ubuntu release that is not meant to be used anymore. that is the reason. [15:59] cristian_c: stop [15:59] k1l_, files on the usb disk are OK (I've checked the md5sum.txt) [15:59] cristian_c: load a new iso from the mirror. then check the md5sum. [16:00] as I said, files are ok [16:00] k1l_: what if we don’t have the capability to upgrade right now…we’re screwed? [16:00] rejit, I tried to find a good explanation for this stack-heap collision, but failed. Could you please tell me what problem I will face? [16:00] dshap: yes. if you dont want to upgrade a long time use the LTS in first place. that would have been 12.04 or 14.04. [16:00] dshap: so upgrade to 13.10 and then to 14.04 [16:01] k1l_: got it, so our mistake was not using the LTS version [16:01] lesson learned [16:01] LTS is best [16:02] i’m generally scared about upgrading the OS and then some little-known dependency will break my app in some very subtle way and it will be hard to discover/fix =\ but i guess that’s life [16:03] yes, backups are your friend [16:03] rejit, thank you very much for your help! [16:03] bye all [16:08] lightdm seems to be running without compositing, as all my indicators at the top look like the 'gnome classic' version [16:09] but I'm not sure what caused it. gnome3 starts with compositing when I log in === mlhess is now known as mlhess_lunch [16:11] cristian_c: how did you make the .iso? [16:11] cristian_c: did you dd the whole usb ( /dev/sdb ) or just the partition /dev/sdb1 ? [16:12] EriC^^, sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=~/usb_live.iso [16:12] For some reason I sometimes get connection refused errors when trying to ssh into my laptop. Can anyone help me figure this out? [16:13] cristian_c: oh my, [16:14] cristian_c: so you made a ubuntu usb with unetbootin and then dd that to an iso? and make all the trouble becuase that is not meeting the official ubuntu hash? sorry but that is just waisting time [16:14] i've got ubuntu dual booted on to a Surface Pro 3 running 14.10 with a 3.19 kernel for the Surface Pro 3 fixes. One problem I get though, is that the battey icon has disappeared and if I look at the Power Statistics application, it's telling me that Type is AC adapter, even though it's not plugged into power. [16:15] does anyone know how I would go about debugging this? [16:15] EriC^^, ok, I've found the zsync command [16:15] the power settings panel is also missing about half of its data and yes, the show icon setting is set to Always [16:16] snufft: sorry, your OS install is already pretty customised and thus unsupported - this is unsurprising given bodging an OS onto a device it wasn't made for [16:16] daftykins, no worries, though the second part is a bit of a point of contention ;) [16:17] spigot: gnome3 'wants' gdm instead od lightdm. So I guess that's the reason.

Thanks anyway. [16:19] snufft: do you mean "couldn't" in your first sentence? i know where you're coming from, but buying a device with the intention to modify it is very counter-intuitive in my opinion. Buy things they're meant to work with [16:19] snufft: i'd have said try 15.04 once it's out, but i think that uses the 3.18 kernel - not sure [16:20] daftykins: 3.19 for 15.04 [16:20] k1l_: ah-ha thanks [16:20] ;) [16:20] so yeah, maybe that'd be worth moving to first of all [16:20] not long now. [16:21] no worries. will do :) [16:21] EriC^^, ok, sorry, I've not found much in the zsync man [16:21] *manual [16:23] cristian_c: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage [16:23] i think the rsync server is down or something though [16:24] EriC^^, you are right, that is the wiki page. I've not typed the command contained in Updating the ISO [16:25] cristian_c: does the usb you used boot? [16:25] cristian_c: if you md5sum the usb as you did you should get the same hash as k1l_ said [16:25] EriC^^, I've tried it with unetbootin, but I try again to boot [16:25] EriC^^, usb was made with unetbootin [16:25] cristian_c: you checked the individual files and they're correct, the usb's md5sum isn't though [16:26] i think maybe something else is off, and i'm not too sure rsync could fix that [16:26] maybe the partition table or something i dont know [16:26] EriC^^: that all doesnt make sense [16:26] k1l_: which part? [16:27] he says unetbootin uses a own bootloader and ubuntu hashes don't work [16:27] ugh unetbootin, avoid++ [16:27] EriC^^: he made a usb drive with unetbootin which changes the bootloader so the hash is gone. then he dd the usb onto a iso file on disk. now he wants to check the disk. [16:27] k1l_: he ran md5sum on /dev/sdb and it was wrong, he checked the md5sum of the individual files with md5sum.txt and they were right [16:27] *check the iso [16:27] EriC^^, correct [16:27] EriC^^: so it is all just waisting time. [16:27] k1l_: oh ok, so unetbootin changes the bootloader [16:28] tuns out many many things changed with acpi in 3.19 which is probably the cause [16:28] k1l_: didn't know that [16:28] *it's correct [16:29] that is what i said from the beginning: get a new clear iso form ubuntu and put it onto the usb with dd. than the hashes will match. [16:29] Hi guys, I got a problem with my ubuntu: When I'm connected to wlan (it never happened when connected with ethernet) I sometimes get random freezes - I can't move the mouse, screen not updating. However, the harddrive LED blinks from time to time. When I put the computer to sleep (pressing power button) and wake it up, it works again [16:30] EriC^^, the virtual machine doesn't get the usb drive. I'll do a check with usb boot === digifiv5e is now known as Guest89586 [16:30] Syslog: https://gist.github.com/moritzuehling/e2f95927f9461c993c15 [16:31] cristian_c: you want to isntall into a virtual machine? [16:31] EriC^^, so, a virtualbox guy told me to convert the usb device to an .iso image [16:31] (Or as ubuntu paste if you prefer that: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10621814/) [16:32] On of the freezes happened around 17:18:04 [16:32] cristian_c: what is your end goal? [16:32] cristian_c: perhaps you can start from the start and tell us what you're trying to achieve, because you seem to be going about things in very ineffective ways [16:33] cristian_c: you got a lot of false advice so far. so what are you doing there at all? === Flai is now known as flai_01 [16:35] k1l_, daftykins virtualbox doesn't let the usb boot, to install ubuntu into a vm created with virtualbox [16:35] cristian_c: check that the usb works first [16:35] cristian_c: you dont need that at all. [16:36] but the guy has suggested me to ask in the ubuntu resource [16:36] EriC^^, ok [16:36] cristian_c: you can download the official ubuntu.iso and tell vbox to use that as a cdrom in the vbox settings [16:36] cristian_c: why are you not just downloading and mounting an ISO image *directly* ? why are you complicating matters? [16:36] cristian_c: do you have a problem with downloading the file? [16:36] i swear you've been on this same issue for over 2 days and in that time could've downloaded the ISO over 100 times [16:36] cristian_c: you are really really really making it much more difficult because you listen to what some other guys told you. [16:38] wayland wooooohooooo [16:38] EriC^^, .iso image from ubuntu website? [16:38] cristian_c: yeah [16:38] obviously you can just download it and have a new .iso [16:38] !ot | uuhimhere Please do not spam us again today.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [16:39] Aaand it happened again. [16:39] EriC^^, so, can't I follow the suggestion of the guy (dd command). He suggested me previously. [16:39] *? [16:39] cristian_c: stop [16:39] Hi, I have Ubuntu+Win7 Dualboot and my accidentally started the windows recovery which seems to have overwritten the grub bootloader. Now the PC won't boot neither Ubuntu nor Windows7. It just goes to POST and then the screen goes black repeatedly. Any ideas how to fix this?? [16:39] cristian_c: do you have limited bandwidth internet or very slow one> [16:39] ? [16:39] cristian_c: forget about all that was told to you. [16:40] EriC^^, I'm trying to do some test with wifi and eth for the lags [16:41] !grub | phosphenius follow this [16:41] phosphenius follow this: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:41] phosphenius: boot a live usb and follow above ^ [16:41] phosphenius: perhaps grab something like supergrub http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [16:41] cristian_c: 1. get a fresh and official ubuntu.iso from the website. 2. click on the menu inside the vbox and set the "virtual cd rom" to use that ubuntu.iso 3. load the vbox guest and install from that "virtual cdrom" [16:43] Does upstart take responsibility of starting apps when those go down [16:43] adgtl: it can (depends on their config, see /etc/init/*) [16:43] Follow-up to my problem: When I change to tty-mode, wait a bit, and switch back it works [16:44] cristian_c: if you don't have a limited download you can just get a new .iso [16:44] cristian_c: the hashes aren't going to match cause it seems unetbootin sets the bootloader [16:44] EriC^^, yes, I noticed again this [16:45] EriC^^: that is all time waisting., he can just set the ubuntu.iso to be loaded in the vbox guest. [16:45] this reminds me of the guy that kept burning ubuntu ISOs to CD, to install in virtualbox [16:45] k1l_: true, i'm assuming he has a limited internet, i do [16:46] EriC^^: well, like always he doesnt answer the important questions so we will never know [16:46] daftykins: lol [16:47] daftykins, I usually install *buntu ISOs in virtualbox via optical CDs [16:47] can somebody invine me in #php channel [16:47] cristian_c: why? why waste discs when you can mount the ISOs direct? [16:47] it's also far faster [16:47] top: you might need to register to join [16:48] ( register your nickname ) [16:48] ok [16:48] what command [16:48] top: you need to register with freenode and to login. if you need help ask in #freenode [16:48] daftykins: You know, the time you tried to install ubuntu / windows / whatever, and it didn't work, and hours later you found out it was a scratch on the disk? I think they want that feeling back... [16:48] daftykins, no, the reason is this, briefly: CDs are already existing (previously burnt) and same thing for USB drive [16:49] cristian_c: yes but you've just spent two days trying to get it working? [16:49] daftykins, I talked about CDs, anyway [16:50] cristian_c: do you delete the original downloaded ISOs or something? lack of disk space? [16:50] daftykins, yes, so I can delete the .iso file. It's one of the reasons === top is now known as GoSpace888 [16:51] cristian_c: you might want to stop doing that then :) [16:52] i have 500GB HDDs coming out of my ears, want one? i don't really get how 1GB ISOs are a problem to keep around in 2015 [16:52] Hey guys, I have set up an openvpn client on my ubuntu home server (network-manager-openvpn) and everything seems to be working fine, except one thing : on ipmagnet and ipleak, I can see my isp ipv6 DNS. [16:52] I have tried to use both google ipv4 and ipv6 dns, but nothing changes. [16:52] I have even tried to use ufw to prevent any connection to eth0 except on lan and to connect to my VPN. [16:52] Any idea of how I could fix that ?

[17:01] sergio-br2: for ubuntu-touch see #ubuntu-touch and not this support only channel. and if you dont know about it you should have a read baout mediatek on android and see that its not like this guy wants to make it look like.

We have maybe 10 services, various websites, databases etc, that are getting compex to visualize... === asdasdasdd is now known as pankaj_thakur [17:19] benlieb: i tried some, there are plenty, i used Dia [17:20] aw we ll he left [17:24] benlieb, LibreOffice Draw is actually pretty decent for making digrams too [17:25] benlieb, if you want something more technical and that you can potentially export actual code from Dia is nice, for DB stuff I use MySQL mostly so I use MySQL workbench for that which is nice for diagramming then synchronizing the diagram to the actual database [17:26] hello [17:26] I installed Ubuntu with LVM. How should I resize to allow for the installation of the Windows 10 technical preview? Do I still use GParted? [17:27] hi [17:27] you should've put Windows on first really === mlhess_lunch is now known as mlhess [17:27] Hi [17:30] I'm trying to install the nvidia cuda package and it made apt-get get an error. Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned error code (1) http://pastebin.com/k4dNURS0 [17:30] I think it's conflicting with my nvidia drivers [17:31] minimec: I don't understand- youre saying because gnome3 is installed, lightdm is broken? I've had the combination of two for a while with no issues. it's the display manager with no compositing, not gnome3 after I login from lightdm- that works fine [17:32] dongerino: You can force overwrite with dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-opencl-icd-346_346.46-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb [17:32] daftykins: what issues will i have? I'm not using UEFI boot, and also won't windows just overwrite grub? and then i can just reinstall grub when i boot back into ubuntu? [17:33] Kamuela: yes [17:33] genii, but that would break the other package though? === mrkent is now known as Guest23227 [17:34] dongerino: not if you backup that file first. [17:34] rip [17:34] I did it anyway lol [17:34] dongerino: Perhaps copy out the /etc/OpenCL/vendors/nvidia.icd file to somewhere safe first === kpease_ is now known as kpease [17:35] ( although you can always just pull same thing again with the first package that got it's file overwrote ) [17:35] spigot: Lightdm is not broken, but uses the default gtk theme instead of the lightdm unity greeter. You can maybe switch back in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf or install gdm as session-manager, as gdm would be default for a gnome3 installation. === kpease is now known as kpease_ [17:37] is the current ubuntu 15.04 compatible with old style init scripts? [17:38] TriJetScud: for 15.04 question please ask in the alpha/beta channel #ubuntu+1. and yes you can still boot with upstart if you like === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [17:38] thanks for the pointer k1l_ [17:38] minimec: I don't have lightdm-gtk-greeter installed, only the unity greeter, which is what lightdm is running [17:39] spigot: Ok. I have no further explanation then... [17:40] that's okay. I'm sure something is broken somewhere [17:40] daftykins: so to prepare say a FAT partition for windoze, are there any special tools to use with LVM? or do I just use gparted as normal? [17:41] odd that compositing works once the gnome session is started up, and Xorg's log shows compositing is enabled with the vid driver it chooses [17:41] but the dumpy 2d indicator still appears [17:42] Kamuela: don't make partitions ahead of time, Windows will not install to FAT. [17:42] spigot: What logo (plymouth theme) do you get during boot? [17:43] actually, they look like the unity icons when I open a unity session [17:43] it's the gnome logo, I'm not sure where the ubuntu boot logo lives, but I thought i had the package installed [17:44] quiz: I can do [17:44] Is it possible to only require a password for SFTP but require a key for regular ssh connections? [17:44] maybe the gnome-desktop package is overwriting it somewhere [17:44] #!/bin/sh [17:44] boo () { [17:44] stat=$(ls zork | grep zork) [17:44] echo $stat [17:44] } [17:44] daftykins: right, the installer will reformat fat to ntfs, but it will not even see linux partitions. that's what i mean === kpease_ is now known as kpease [17:45] Hey, could someone help me understand this error when attempting to install a package? http://i.imgur.com/BL6jERl.png [17:45] trillnasty: what gives you "lsb_release -d" ? [17:46] k1l_: Description:Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS [17:46] Ok, why does this stat=$(ls zork | grep zork) work in a sh script but this stat=$(ls zork |& grep zork) does not? [17:46] laza: why the & ? [17:46] spigot: Ok. So you could switch back to the ubuntu logo with "sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth" and then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm". Maybe you get your normal llogin screen back. See here --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/129218/how-to-return-the-login-screen-to-the-default [17:46] I also want to grep stderr === kpease is now known as kpease_ [17:47] trillnasty: ran "sudo apt-get update" first? [17:47] daftykins: Done that. [17:47] minimec: looks like ubuntu-desktop got removed during some of my purges/reinstalls. I'm going to re-install it with some of its missing dependencies and reboot, see if that does it. contains all sorts of ubuntu config files and tweaks that apparently weren't installed lol [17:47] this works on the command line but not in a sh script [17:47] \me wonders [17:47] * laza wonders [17:47] spigot: ok [17:48] daftykins: i guess my main question is, does LVM pose any particular problem here? [17:48] Hello guys, I want to know if a virus in unix systems exists? [17:48] minimec: there! it's back. the white icons instead of the colored ones on the display manager [17:48] Kamuela: don't know. other than you need to use it to resize first, which i also don't know :) [17:48] welovfree: no, no virus. just make sure you run the updates to get the security patches [17:49] trillnasty: try to install those to packages that are named there [17:50] k1l_: The same error pops up for those packages too, on and on. [17:50] This is a brand new installation if that makes any difference. [17:50] you need to find the end of that line :/ [17:51] hi. on 14.10 cheese crash with a segfault as soon as it is run.

[18:02] welovfree: they're pretty rare [18:02] stick to the repos and you should be ok [18:02] welovfree, why do you ask? [18:03] how to add a folder inside a folder of any given tar ? [18:04] EriC^^: but they exist! because my teacher told us that they didn't [18:04] pbx: because my teacher told us that they didn't [18:04] welovfree: the word 'virus' is very 80s/90s - the majority of what affects computers of all OSs today is malware [18:04] but this is off topic really [18:06] i agree with daftykins, off-topic, but here's something for your teacher's education: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware === kpease is now known as kpease_ [18:07] welovfree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware#Viruses [18:07] Hello all, I can't install sfml on my ubuntu 14.04 LTS, wanna screenshot's?

Everything worked well with Ubuntu 14.04 without disk encryption. Is there a special step to do after the installation for SSD harddrive? [18:28] yep - it shows grub loading and the straight to the monitor's out of range signal - somehow the setting had to have been pushed out of range - arghhhhh [18:28] Is there a way to source file from script and effect after script finishes?

[18:33] the resolution etc for unity desktop - I had it installed to make some of this stuff easier [18:33] depends if /etc/fstab is the only thing you changed last, to end up with this [18:33] rc.local [18:34] RudeViper: what did you put in there? === digiv is now known as mlhess [18:36] just some mount commands - the problem has always been that I can't seem to gain access to the hard drives via samba - one of the guides I was reading - by ubuntu no less - said to try mounting in rc.local to mount them to a different location than run/dev/disk/ [18:37] if one of the drives is hanging up on that - there is no telling what it is messing up on boot [18:37] that seems incredibly unwise, permanent mounts should be made in /etc/fstab [18:37] once I get on I will get you the link to the article [18:37] RudeVipe [18:38] RudeViper: try mount -o remount,rw / from Livecd and then correct the fstab [18:38] RudeViper: i don't want one, thanks [18:38] ioria: that command won't work in a live session [18:39] RudeViper: oh... [18:39] Again - I didn't edit fstab [18:39] the real install's / is likely /dev/sda1 if no LVM was used [18:41] nope - that is what has been throwing me - they are mounting in /run dir [18:41] wat [18:41] ok whatever guide you've been following or something is nuts [18:41] oh - sorry - misread that [18:41] I know what disk it's on [18:41] anyway i have to go [18:42] but desktop live cd won't boot [18:42] ugh [18:42] !nomodeset [18:42] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[20:23] No. Nothing happens at all [20:24] I am trying to change my authentication password [20:25] jfeff, you need to hold the left shift when you see the GRUB menu to enter into the grub menu, then rescue [20:25] anyone know how I can make X recognize my multitouch monitor? mtdev-test shows event0 working just fine [20:26] I held the left shift and nothing happend [20:26] jfeff, it is tricky, I had to do it a few times. You may consider changing the TIMEOUT parm in grub first. Search online [20:28] jfeff, I think you have to hold the left shirt after the bios finishes and the moment you see GRUB at the top of the screen [20:28] I'll try I'm fairly new to all this so I dont really know what im doin [20:28] shift* [20:28] I dont even get a grub screen. it just says ubuntu and then loads up [20:29] I am going to sign into this from my tablet so I dont lose you [20:29] jfeff, upon reboot, bios comes up, does things, then GRUB comes up, does things, then ubuntu 14.04 in the center of the screen [20:30] Hello [20:30] This is my first time using weechat [20:30] Could anyone tell me whether you can see my message?

[20:49] Hey Mensch [20:51] What do people recommend for vms? I've used VMWare on windows, but I'm not sure what's good on Linux. [20:52] i like VirtualBox [20:53] I assume it supports emulatings windows and OSx? [20:53] although QEMM gets god reviews and people say it's faster than Vbox [20:53] *good reviews [20:54] mpthrapp, i have run several windows VM from Vbox. XP, Win7 Ultimate, DOS 6.22 ant WfWG 3.11 LOL [20:54] *and [20:55] Heheh, alright, sounds good. [20:55] ObrienDave: qemu? [20:55] yup, vodka fingers ;P [20:55] QEMM was the Quarterdeck Extended Memory Manager. [20:55] jhutchins, i'm impressed you remember that LOL [20:56] Haven' [20:56] t done much with both, but on old hardware vbox seemed a lot more functional than VMWare player. [20:57] I have not used QEMU but Vbox is fairly simple to setup VMs [20:57] jhutchins: that's because VMWare player is a crippled verson of VMWare workstation [20:57] You can't do RHEL7 on VMWP because it won't do 64b machines. [20:57] whaaat? [20:58] of course it will [20:58] RHEL7 doesn't have a 32b version. [20:58] of course, your hardware needs to support certain instructions to do it [20:58] zerowaitstate: CentOS 64b runs fine on it. [20:59] mpthrapp, see what you stirred up? LOL [20:59] I didn't mean it, I swear. :P [21:00] LOL no biggie. it's like OS wars LOL [21:00] Oh I know. If I really wanted to start a flamewar, I'd say that I use Vista at work and don't hate it. ;) [21:00] I'm not starting an OS war. I'm not saying RH is good or bad.

[21:00] :) [21:00] convincingly* [21:00] the biggest trouble I run into with VMWare is the VMWare tools [21:01] anyway, this is ubuntu, so I'm going to leave the discussion there [21:01] Does anybody know how to get gnome-terminal to open a new tab in the currently open window when you open it from the panel? [21:01] seems any use of gnome-terminal --tab just creates new windows [21:01] The other question I have is, can I install MSSQL server and SSMS in ubuntu? Or do I need to do that in the VM? [21:02] zerowaitstate: It will run under emxi (?). [21:02] mpthrapp: if you get it to run under WINE, I owe you a coke [21:02] Hi, scratching my head on this one, getting too much work for irq4, then our upstart task running our api server is respawning, here is a sample of logs http://pastie.org/pastes/10036073/text?key=xkjmvnae0emzbim95jqcg [21:02] zerowaitstate: Oh god no, under a full VM. [21:02] I am sure it is something we are doing, but need some help on narrowing in [21:02] mpthrapp: vm or go home [21:03] mpthrapp: vm or alcohol, that is [21:03] * ObrienDave votes alcohol ;P [21:03] mpthrapp: You're not planning on using this in production are you? Performance will be miserable. [21:03] That's what I figured. Plus, I have some other stuff I'd need to install, so I'm just going to go with VM. [21:03] jhutchins: No, just for my home desktop. Our production server is on AWS. [21:04] mpthrapp: Why not use a native DB? [21:04] jhutchins: Because I need to test stuff against MSSQL. [21:04] mpthrapp: Yeah, VM then. [21:04] jhutchins: Unless there's a native DB that has feature parity with MSSQL? [21:05] jhutchins: And can import .bak files from MSSQL? [21:05] I'm still really new to Linux, in case it wasn't obvious. [21:07] mpthrapp: There's mysql - I don't know mssql so I can't really say. It's different, there's SQL compatiblility. [21:07] Does anyone know the good way to activate fglrx ATI hardware acceleration driver for RADEON 8670m? I tried from Additional Drivers and it didn't work. [21:07] mpthrapp: Checking with our expert, it's possible to migrate between them, but not to just switch. MS has proprietary queries that won't work in mysql. [21:08] !radeon [21:08] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [21:08] jhutchins: Yeah, that's what I thought. My stuff has to work on MSSQL. [21:08] jhutchins: Thanks, though. [21:08] I upgraded an intall to 64-bit several years ago but decided to go back because of just a few apps which are now also 64-bit. Now I want upgrade again to 64-bit but forgot how. [21:09] johncooper: As far as I know there's never been an actual method of doing that. It requires a clean install of 64b. [21:15] jhutchins: but, I did it before. no clean install, just a series of commands in 32-bit virtual terminal and after hours of very apt-like feedback reguarding downloads and installs, I rebooted in 64-bit [21:16] what would happen if I forced the use of 64-bit repos? [21:16] that might break your 32bit install [21:18] jhutchins: You can actually go from 32 to 64 by adding the 64 bit architecture to apt, then reinstalling all the packages you currently already have installed. Tedious though [21:19] Does anyone know the good way to activate fglrx ATI hardware acceleration driver for RADEON 8670m?

[22:12] z68h, you can try re-burning [22:12] sr0 is the cdrom itself or the media?

I don't know what ubuntu is doing [22:23] does burning the iso slower make any difference? less chance for errors? [22:24] z68h: yes. slower is with less risk of failure. but not a guarantee [22:24] thanks guys [22:24] RudeViper: you confirmed that via SMART info? [22:24] it's easy to do. [22:25] z68h, yes, mo faster than 4x is recommended [22:25] *no [22:26] z68h I've heard it both ways.

[22:47] newuser789: if you want a 32bit install use a 32bit iso. dont try to mix that isos [22:48] because 37.7% is text scripts not binary files [22:48] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&p=216573 [22:48] but is it really the same 37.7% or its thinking it is same but in actual its not ?

I ran a Win8 liveCD and it automatically detected the secondary partition which I then ran chkdsk on without any erros found. Back 2 ubuntu, I still can't mount it. [23:13] can't mount it with write access, same windows metadata error* [23:14] Chotaz: Which exact error? [23:14] Heya guys, a silly noob question.. I'm trying to install curl in an ubuntu machine and it tells me that it will also install mysql/fpm/gd packages but my noob Q is will the mysql package affect my MariaDB install in any way?

I have a server in production running 14.04 LTS. We need to daemonize a script for it but I see that in 14.10 Ubuntu went from upstart to systemd. [23:29] I'd rather not do this twice. The instructions for upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 look simple enough, but I'm nervous about doing this over SSH since I don't have physical access to the machine. [23:29] anyone have expierence with ubuntu 14.10 on vmware workstation 11 ? I can't ge the vm tools to work. the installation from the package's .pl file seemed to install fine but i can't switch on unity [23:30] Is it likely that we'll lose the ability to SSH into the machine as a result of following the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades? [23:31] wkmanire: why not stay on 14.04? [23:31] Ben64: Because we'll eventually upgrade to 14.10. Either we'll do it or our host server will do it. At that point our upstart service will have to be rewritten. [23:32] Since this is a new deployment I'd rather just upgrade now and write the server for systemd. [23:32] wkmanire: Support for 14.04 will last until 2019, support for 14.10 until mid of 2015. [23:32] wkmanire: but 14.04 is LTS, its the perfect choice for a server [23:32] wkmanire: if you go for 14.10 you need to upgrade every 6 months [23:32] write the service* [23:33] at least until the next LTS, 16.04 [23:33] ObrienDave: Any idea when that could release? [23:33] april 2016 [23:34] wkmanire: its YEAR.MONTH [23:34] wkmanire: ubuntu releases are named by yy.mm, every two years there is a new LTS, LTS are supported for 5 years [23:34] Well, it's certainly not that big of a deal to write a script. I suppose we should just stay on 14.04 until next year and deal with it then. [23:34] LTS every 2 years. 14.04 is 2014 april [23:34] k1l: Neat. :) Didn't know that. [23:34] wkmanire: yuo could stay on 14.04 until 2019, and then update to 18.04 [23:35] oh, theres WinUSB apparently, I'ma give that a try [23:36] Makes sense to me. Thank you for the advice everyone. === sins-_g_t is now known as sins- === sins-_g_t is now known as sins- [23:45] I ran a disk check with ubuntu desktop. It states "check finished: no errors found". It didn't show me which drives it checked... so... should I just take its word that it checked all 6 of my HDDs? [23:46] bruxC: Which command did you use? [23:46] none, I actually booted up an iso and ran the check that way [23:46] "check that way"? How? [23:47] more specifically, I mounted a ubuntu desktop iso via IPMI [23:48] bekks one moment, I'll go thru the process again to give a more detailed explanation. [23:49] ISO is mounted, Boot from ISO. Given 4 options in GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2-9: 1) Try Ubuntu w/o installing 2) Install Ubuntu 3) OEM install (for manufacturers) 4) Check disc for defects [23:49] I chose selection 4) [23:49] That checks the CD for defects. [23:49] Aw. [23:49] Not the HDDs. [23:49] Correct. [23:49] Good to know. Thanks. [23:50] Boot the cd, and run fsck -f for all your filesystems. [23:50] I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.2. Why does linux-signed-image-generic include kernels for trusty, saucy, raring, and quantal, but *not* utopic? [23:50] While we're on the topic, someone recommended I "e2fsck" my discs prior to using them. Is this something I can just do CLI === euad is now known as ubuthetechguru [23:51] bruxC: Just run fsck -f from CLI. [23:51] bekks, I'm going to be using the HDDs in FreeNAS is that still a relevant command? [23:52] bruxC: No, since fsck doesnt check the discs, but the filesystems. If you want to check the drives, you have to use smartctl [23:53] hi [23:54] would you agree that it would be a waste of time for me to do this since FreeNAS has S.M.A.R.T. enabled? [23:54] i just installed elementaryos, but as i boot it, the screen says "out of range". with a live cd i'm trying to edit grub, how to chroot correctly and update it? thanks [23:54] bruxC: No. [23:54] Why's that? [23:54] bruxC: Because you want to know wether your disks are healthy or not before you install FreeNAS on them :) [23:55] Fair enough. [23:55] !elementary | lelebart-element [23:55] lelebart-element: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution.
