| xpro256 | there is a way to install opencl on ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| HurricaneHarry | xpro256: http://mhr3.blogspot.nl/2013/06/opencl-on-ubuntu-1304.html | 00:06 |
| xpro256 | ok, reading with attention | 00:10 |
| HurricaneHarry | xpro256: I haven't used it myself though. | 00:11 |
| a_ | hiya | 00:15 |
| Fishscene | o/ | 00:15 |
| xpro256 | ok, but it comes together with the amd graphics controller? | 00:15 |
| a_ | anyone know how to log or know which users have accessed a file? | 00:16 |
| HurricaneHarry | xpro256: I have no idea, i haven't done anything with it. | 00:18 |
| xpro256 | ok, opencl is very useful sometimes with some graphics and games | 00:20 |
| xpro256 | HurricaneHarry: ok, thanks | 00:20 |
| HurricaneHarry | xpro256: are you thinking about opengl, not cl ? | 00:21 |
| xpro256 | HurricaneHarry: no, opengl i do have it | 00:21 |
| xpro256 | opencl for amd | 00:22 |
| HurricaneHarry | a_: not possible without prior setting up some monitoring.. | 00:24 |
| HurricaneHarry | xpro256: i was under the impression opencl was only for using gpu for calculations. | 00:26 |

| Jan- | hello | 00:37 |
| tatonka9000 | hey sup | 00:37 |
| Jan- | we just installed ubuntu onto a new computer which worked okay except that it uses a tp-link TL-WN727N usb wifi dongle, which doesn't work | 00:38 |
| Jan- | any ideas? | 00:38 |
| gagalicious | i did dd if=/dev/usbdrive of=/dev/sdg bs=512 ..... can't boot with problems of... mount /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or dire... my usb drive copy to usb works... there is raid on the usb drive. but when i dd from usb to hdd, it failed. help? | 00:38 |
| Jan- | running some random shell commands indicates that it's really a ralink device with the code 148f:7601 | 00:39 |
| Jan- | but further googling just revealed "git clone the driver source and build it yourself" which is pretty unlikely to work, so... is there a better way to do this? | 00:39 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 | 00:41 |
| Jan- | errr | 00:42 |
| Jan- | we don't really get what's on that page | 00:42 |
| Jan- | if there isn't a fairly minimal number-of-clicks solution to this it's probably not going to happen | 00:42 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: I have no access to a debian machine right now, maybe someone else can walk you through. | 00:45 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: You need the machine to be on a cabled connection to internet first. | 00:46 |
| Jan- | It's not debian. It's ubuntu. | 00:46 |
| Jan- | and yes, we've done that | 00:47 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: installed updates ? | 00:47 |
| Jan- | Will that help? | 00:48 |
| Jan- | oh and we have apparently | 00:49 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: In systemsettings you can enable non-free drivers. | 00:49 |
| Jan- | we're just waiting for it to reboot | 00:49 |
| Jan- | I... honestly couldn't care less whether the drivers are free or not. | 00:49 |
| Jan- | I'm not an open source politician. | 00:49 |
| Jan- | so we updated and it doesn't seem to be working | 00:51 |
| Jan- | there's no UI for it | 00:51 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: sometimes there just aren't any open drivers as the manufactures does not provide the info. | 00:51 |
| Jan- | Could not care less. | 00:51 |
| Jan- | Just want it to work. | 00:51 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: system settings, software and updates, enable non-free drivers. | 00:51 |
| Jan- | well | 00:52 |
| Jan- | under "ubuntu software" we have "proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" which was already enabled | 00:52 |
| Jan- | there's an "additional drivers" tab which just seems to permanently say "searching for available drivers" | 00:53 |
| Bashing-om | Jan-: After the system is updated; check "Additional Drivers" in Software Center". See if any drivers are now offered . | 00:53 |
| Jan- | the only thing it (eventually) found was concerned with the video drivers for the AMD kabini CPU | 00:53 |
| Jan- | and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use" | 00:54 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: did you reboot after the updates ? | 00:54 |
| Jan- | yes. | 00:54 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: what's the problem? | 00:55 |
| Jan- | wifi dongle doesn't work | 00:56 |
| Jan- | which I appreciate is not a new problem on linux | 00:56 |
| EriC^^ | by wifi dongle you mean an iburst? | 00:57 |
| Jan- | it says "TP-Link TL-WN727N" | 00:57 |
| Jan- | but it seems to be a ralink device under the hood | 00:57 |
| cursera | Jan-, after pluging the tlwn727n type dmesg and see its recognizes it | 00:59 |
| cursera | and type lsusb too | 00:59 |
| Jan- | we did that | 00:59 |
| Jan- | it has the code 148f:7601 | 00:59 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: pastebin ifconfig | 00:59 |
| Jan- | one at a time eh | 01:00 |
| Jan- | is there an equivalent of windows device manager so we can look at whether the system thinks it has a driver or not | 01:00 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: lsmod | grep rt | 01:03 |
| === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away | ||
| Jan- | what'll that do | 01:03 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: you could try # tail -f /var/log/messages and re-insert, that might give some information. | 01:03 |
| Jan- | hm it lists two things about "parport" | 01:03 |
| Jan- | what are we trying to achieve her? | 01:03 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: pastebin ifconfig for us | 01:05 |
| Jan- | it's a lot to retype | 01:05 |
| Jan- | but it only mentions lo and eth0 | 01:05 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: try ifconfig -a | 01:05 |
| EriC^^ | you can go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there | 01:06 |
| Jan- | same | 01:06 |
| EriC^^ | just highlight the text in the terminal then click the middle mouse button to paste, or shift+insert | 01:06 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 01:06 |
| Jan- | it doesn't mention a wifi device anyway | 01:06 |
| pfifo | Hi everyone :) | 01:08 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: try sudo lshw -C network | 01:09 |
| Jan- | one device listed, an RTL8111 series, looks like the hardwired gig e | 01:10 |
| pfifo | I am looking for a few options for proxy servers... I want to run one on my local machine to cache (on disk, non memory) HTTP traffic... in particular images... Im currently having to download the same images ovr and over and ... over again. and this dosent seem its going to change any time soon so I think i can get a very significant speed up by caching these images. | 01:10 |
| HurricaneHarry | pfifo: squid comes to mind. | 01:13 |
| Abbott | How can I repair an efi bootloader? The partition that I am supposed to boot to changed numbers so I need to point the bootloader to the right partition | 01:14 |
| Jan- | is this any use to me: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 | 01:14 |
| Jan- | again I emphasise | 01:14 |
| Jan- | this is ubuntu not debian | 01:14 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX , then update-grub | 01:15 |
| pfifo | HurricaneHarry: Ahh, first thing that came to my mind too, but apparently, it caches all this in memory.... which is no good for me, appoxamatly 0.25 bytes of memory to spare, but can go over budget a bit if needed | 01:15 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: nope that was my mistake. | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | Jan-: maybe you should get a different wireless adapter | 01:15 |
| Jan- | seriously?! | 01:15 |
| Jan- | I thought linux was supposed to be fixed these days :/ | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | Jan-: you seem to want a one click solution, and are getting impatient already | 01:16 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: did you tail the log while re-inserting the wifi ? | 01:16 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ would it be possible that my system is not using grub? Idk if tails uses grub or not | 01:16 |
| Jan- | HurricaneHarry: I did a lot of things, remind me? | 01:16 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: are you using windows too? | 01:16 |
| HurricaneHarry | jan-: tail -f /var/log/messages | 01:17 |
| HurricaneHarry | jan- | 01:17 |
| Abbott | Well the partition is on a usb but the particular system I am using the usb with right now has windows on it, yes | 01:17 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: cause i think gummiboot can't load windows .efi files | 01:17 |
| HurricaneHarry | jan-: and re-insert the wifi dongle. | 01:17 |
| Jan- | cannot open /var/log/messages for reading: no such file or directory | 01:17 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: more than likely it has grub | 01:18 |
| Abbott | Okay. I'll try that now | 01:18 |
| HurricaneHarry | jan-: tail -f /var/log/syslog (i sometimes mix up all the different linux versions) | 01:18 |
| EriC^^ | if it doesn't you'll just get an error | 01:18 |
| RabbitOutOFRedha | Greetings everyone | 01:20 |

| inuzzo | ubuntu newbie - need help in setting up desktop share | 01:21 |
| Jan- | HurricaneHarry: what are we looking for | 01:21 |
| Jan- | it spurts out more stuff when we plug the USB dongle in | 01:22 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: when inserting the wifi-usb something about loading/not loading a driver. | 01:22 |
| Jan- | "vendor 148f product 7601" | 01:22 |
| Jan- | like it said before | 01:22 |
| Jan- | nothing about drivers | 01:23 |
| EriC^^ | any errors? | 01:23 |
| Jan- | last line is "bus 1 device 4 was not an MTP device" | 01:23 |
| Jan- | nothing specifically saying error | 01:23 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: try a different usb port | 01:24 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest41137 | ||
| Jan- | same sort of output | 01:25 |
| EriC^^ | do you have a blue usb port? | 01:26 |
| EriC^^ | the 3.0 one? | 01:26 |
| Jan- | USB3, you mean? | 01:26 |
| Jan- | yes. | 01:26 |
| EriC^^ | try using that one | 01:26 |
| Jan- | same again | 01:27 |
| Jan- | we avoided those on the assumption linux wouldn't support them, is all | 01:27 |
| === daz is now known as Guest74681 | ||

| EriC^^ | Jan-: try to install those 2 packages | 01:31 |
| Jan- | which packages? | 01:31 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ when I run grub-install --recheck /dev/sdc I get "grub-install: error: cannot open directory `/boot/grub/i386-pc`: no such file or directory | 01:31 |
| EriC^^ | the ones in the link | 01:31 |
| Abbott | Which makes sense because there isn't a /boot folder, but there is an EFI/BOOT folder | 01:31 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: are you in the installation right now? | 01:32 |
| EriC^^ | or a live usb? | 01:32 |
| EriC^^ | i think i386-pc is for non-efi grub | 01:32 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218061 talks about the same device not being able to get it to work. | 01:33 |

| Jan- | I'm just going to go back to windows | 01:33 |
| Jan- | sheesh, how hard can it be!? | 01:33 |
| Ben64 | blame the hardware manufacturer for not making drivers | 01:34 |
| RabbitOutOFRedha | Jan | 01:34 |
| RabbitOutOFRedha | Stick with it | 01:34 |
| Abbott | I'm booted into a live cd of ubuntu editing a tails installation which is always a live usb | 01:35 |
| Abbott | So would I use --efi-directoey=EFI? | 01:36 |
| inuzzo | no support here | 01:36 |
| Jan- | RabbitOutOFRedha: I honestly would, but this just needs to work | 01:36 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: i think you're booted in legacy mode in the ubuntu live usb | 01:36 |
| Jan- | this machine is going in a corner where there isn't really a sensible way of getting an ethernet cable to it | 01:36 |
| EriC^^ | try ls -l /sys/firmware/efi | 01:36 |

| rainbowwarrior | oops spelling sorry | 01:38 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: It's not linux but the manufactures that is wrong here, they don't provide. | 01:38 |
| Jan- | they provide for windows | 01:38 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ no such file or directory | 01:38 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: yeah, you're booted in legacy mode | 01:38 |
| Jan- | I think if you're going to write an OS you have to accept that responsibility until the manufacturers show willing, I mean, you can't just expect them to start supporting everything. | 01:38 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: and not for linux, furthermore they do not provide the resource to make them ourselves. | 01:39 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: in the end you could have checked the hardware compatibility list before buying some random usb wifi dongle. | 01:40 |
| Jan- | we already had it | 01:40 |
| Jan- | it worked fine under XP | 01:40 |
| Jan- | I don't think you can really call it an operating system until it can handle basic stuff, I mean, this is not new hardware | 01:40 |
| OerHeks | Jan-, you will need an ethernet cable to make that wifi work | 01:41 |

| Jan- | Artemis3: I think we did but couldn't follow it | 02:02 |
| Jan- | oh yes this is the "compile it yourself" thing | 02:02 |
| Jan- | basically that's so unlikely to work we didn't try | 02:02 |
| k1l_ | that howto is straight forward | 02:03 |
| Artemis3 | Jan-, yes it seems that device is not supported on ubuntu by defauly, luckily you can make it work, unluckily it needs another connection so you can download the files | 02:03 |
| Jan- | Artemis3: we have it online via ethernet if that helps | 02:04 |
| k1l_ | just make sure you got a wired connection running and follow the steps mentioned. one by one. | 02:04 |
| OerHeks | aenima, for canon you will need to install the exfat > sudo apt-get install exfat-utils exfat-fuse >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2224837 | 02:04 |
| Jan- | k1l_: if there's no other option we can try it | 02:04 |
| Jan- | but I will bet you $10 it won't work | 02:04 |
| Jan- | stuff about compiling never really does unless you're on exactly the same machine as the guy who wrote the instructions | 02:04 |
| Artemis3 | Jan-, the instructions don't look too bad | 02:04 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: you can go and buy hardware that works with linux, with ubuntu in that special case here | 02:04 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: it's not the compiling thing. | 02:04 |
| Jan- | dude I can copypasta the instructions | 02:04 |
| Jan- | but seriously | 02:05 |
| Artemis3 | Jan-, but i think you need to install build-essential first | 02:05 |
| Jan- | is creating a build environment for all that actually ever going to work | 02:05 |
| Jan- | of course it isn'tr | 02:05 |
| Jan- | we didn't even think it was worth trying | 02:05 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: did you even try it? | 02:05 |
| Jan- | no. | 02:05 |
| Ben64 | of course you will fail if you never try | 02:05 |
| Jan- | more likely to break the install than do anything useful. | 02:05 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: or are you just waisting time of volunteers with your random stories? | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | Jan-," sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb " did work | 02:05 |
| Jan- | I'm not a software engineer | 02:05 |
| Jan- | OerHeks: define "work". It output some stuff. | 02:06 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: so do you have a clue or not? because your "ideas" dont make sense at all. | 02:06 |
| Artemis3 | Jan-, just sudo apt-get install build-essential before folloring the other instructions | 02:06 |
| Jan- | well I don't really have any ideas, that's why we asked here. | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | honestly, it seems like it'd be easier to buy a $8 wireless adapter that works out of the box on linux | 02:06 |
| Artemis3 | Jan-, no, installing build-essential doesnt mess anything else | 02:06 |
| kpc | i cant figure out the command to use a password | 02:06 |
| OerHeks | Jan-, did you pull the cable and then yes, you might take a look in networkmanager ? | 02:06 |
| kpc | in smbclient | 02:06 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: just read that instructions from the first answer marked with the green checkmark. follow them one by one. | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | kpc: smbclient -U username <ip address> | 02:06 |
| Ben64 | kpc: then enter password when it asks | 02:07 |
| Jan- | k1l_: here goes. | 02:07 |
| Jan- | But as I say. $10 it'll spit out like 500 lines of debug and fail. | 02:07 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: if you recieve an error or are unsure what to do ask specific questions | 02:07 |
| Jan- | or just pretend to work, and it still won't. | 02:07 |
| kpc | 192.168.0.3: Not enough '\' characters in service | 02:07 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: stop that | 02:07 |
| kpc | thats what i get when i do that | 02:07 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: where is the exact error? else stop waisting the time with your stories | 02:07 |
| Jan- | sorry guys, I don't mean to whine, but I have been using linux on and off for ages and I know what to expect | 02:08 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541850/ubuntu-14-04-tp-link-tl-wn727n see this one !! | 02:08 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ is it possible my computer doesn't have uefi boot? | 02:08 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: last time now: are you interessted in following that advice now? because for your rants we dont have time. other ubuntu users want support too | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | kpc: can you pastebin the full command and error | 02:09 |
| kpc | ok | 02:09 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: does it mention uefi in the bios? | 02:09 |
| Jan- | k1: it's happening, have patience | 02:09 |
| kpc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10657196/ | 02:09 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: that is what OerHeks was doing, and he's good, i know him. | 02:09 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: or secureboot? | 02:09 |
| Ben64 | kpc: uh... did it not ask for a password? | 02:10 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: in the boot order can you put the usb at the top? or uefi usb? | 02:10 |
| Jan- | after "make" it started spitting out lots of debug, including warnings and errors. | 02:10 |
| jswagner | ./ignore Jan- | 02:10 |
| jswagner | oops | 02:10 |
| k1l_ | !paste | Jan- put all that into there | 02:11 |
| ubottu | Jan- put all that into there: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:11 |
| Jan- | there's *no way* I'm retyping all that. | 02:11 |
| jswagner | lolll | 02:11 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: copy&pate | 02:11 |
| k1l_ | *paste | 02:11 |
| kpc | Ben correct | 02:11 |
| k1l_ | include all commands you used. | 02:11 |
| kpc | it has no problem when using windows | 02:11 |
| Abbott | I don't see anything about uefi in the bios. I see usb but not uefi usb | 02:12 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: secure boot? which os do you run on this machine? | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | kpc: do you know the correct username and password? because you can just put it into /etc/fstab and have whatever you want mounted automatically or whatever | 02:12 |
| EriC^^ | does its partition table including a fat32 efi partition? | 02:12 |
| Jan- | well we ran all those commands | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | kpc: also the share name | 02:12 |
| EriC^^ | *include | 02:13 |
| Jan- | still no wifi. | 02:13 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: did you read what i said? | 02:13 |
| kpc | I have the correct username and password | 02:13 |
| Ben64 | Jan-: you said there were errors, you need to pastebin what k1l_ requested | 02:13 |
| kpc | it my raspberry pi defaults | 02:13 |
| kpc | problem is i never get to enter them | 02:14 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ the machine runs Win 8 x64 | 02:14 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: we need the exact errors to get to know what you did wrong or where your system is misconfigurated to get your card working. so put all the commands and output into the pastebin and show the link in here | 02:14 |
| Jan- | the other commands didn't produce errors | 02:14 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: most likely it has uefi | 02:14 |
| Jan- | my system is not misconfigurated | 02:14 |
| Jan- | it's an absolutely plain vanilla fresh install from ten minutes ago | 02:14 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: how did you make the ubuntu live usb? | 02:14 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: if a command in the middle makes an error there might be no hope that the last commands work at all. | 02:14 |
| kpc | maybe ill paste you my smb.conf from my server? maybe the problem is there? | 02:14 |
| Jan- | well OK | 02:15 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ I used the pen drive linux live usb installer | 02:15 |
| Jan- | now it isn't a plain vanilla fresh install | 02:15 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: so please stop the "i think " part and show us the logs of what you did there so we can see and decide what is going on. | 02:15 |
| Jan- | now it's had a load of random commands run on it so nothing will probably ever work again, but OK | 02:15 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 02:15 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: stop the chatting and start giving us the info we need to help you | 02:15 |
| EriC^^ | this is too much | 02:15 |
| Ben64 | kpc: ok, then try this... sudo mount -t cifs //IP/SHARENAME /MOUNTPOINT -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD | 02:16 |
| Jan- | let's try the other approach someone linked | 02:16 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: no | 02:16 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: where is the issue in you giving us the output in a pastebin? | 02:16 |
| boodllebat | hello i'm trying to list all files with author name and modified name but looks like i'm doing something wrong i tried this "ls --author" | 02:17 |
| Ben64 | fwiw, i ran the commands and it resulted in a kernel module being built with no problem | 02:17 |
| k1l_ | Ben64: that howto looks straight and uptodate to me. | 02:17 |
| Ben64 | sure would help to see what part errored for Jan- .... | 02:18 |
| Abbott | EriC^^ I just read that simply copying the contents of an ISO to a usb makes it boot in uefi so I'm going to try that | 02:18 |
| JohnnyL | how do i dusable gvfsd? | 02:18 |
| Jan- | k1l_: first we don't have it anymore, and second, the other computer is only partly connected to the internet BECAUSE ITS WIFI DOESN'T WORK. | 02:18 |
| Jan- | So you see. | 02:18 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: if you can dd the iso it would be great | 02:18 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: if its not connected to the internet there is no way you will get the wifi to work | 02:19 |
| EriC^^ | Abbott: also checksum the iso | 02:19 |
| Jan- | so we tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541850/ubuntu-14-04-tp-link-tl-wn727n | 02:19 |
| JohnnyL | how do i disable gvfsd? | 02:19 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: so you will need to stick a ethernet cable to the pc running ubuntu and using that wifi-thingy and then you need to run the commands mentioned in that howto on that pc. | 02:19 |
| Jan- | and somehow it suddenly started working. | 02:19 |
| Jan- | perhaps it may have been a delayed reaction to other things we did | 02:20 |
| Jan- | we will never know. | 02:20 |
| Jan- | now we're rebooting to make sure the changes stick | 02:21 |
| Stifler | boodllebat: ls -la --author | 02:21 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: ok. we cant help you if you cant provide facts (like the errors etc in a pastebin) and just rely on "i think". | 02:21 |
| boodllebat | Stifler: yes figured that :) | 02:21 |
| Jan- | Have I used the phrase "I think"? | 02:21 |
| k1l_ | Jan-: you cant provide facts. that is what 5 people were asking you to all the time. and all gave up | 02:22 |
| Jan- | what point are you trying to make | 02:22 |
| HurricaneHarry | K1l_: actualy i didn't give up but you were hard interfering. | 02:22 |
| kpc | doesnt work | 02:22 |
| kpc | says failed to access directory | 02:23 |
| kpc | i copied it right out of my smb.conf | 02:23 |
| Jan- | I think the magic phrase may have been "sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb" | 02:23 |
| OerHeks | Jan-, according to that same post, the modprobe does not stick so you need to write that script. | 02:24 |
| Jan- | how the hell anyone is supposed to know that | 02:24 |
| EriC^^ | lol | 02:24 |
| Jan- | well we rebooted and it still seems to work | 02:24 |
| Jan- | so right now we're thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it | 02:24 |
| Jan- | eh... no flash | 02:25 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: good luck exploring further, (pepperflash) | 02:25 |
| Jan- | is flash also an "omg proprietary code" issue? | 02:25 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: so did the wifi work? | 02:25 |
| Ben64 | Jan-: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 02:25 |
| Jan- | it works right now | 02:25 |
| Jan- | weirdly youtube somehow works | 02:26 |
| Jan- | but other flash doesn't | 02:26 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: google chrome is pretty good for flash | 02:26 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: that's cause it uses html5 | 02:26 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree | 02:26 |
| k1l | youtube uses html5 | 02:27 |
| dhrosa | my server is ignoring "sudo shutdown -r now" | 02:27 |
| dhrosa | it doesn't even print an error or anything | 02:27 |
| dhrosa | and nothing shows up in /var/log/syslog | 02:28 |
| dhrosa | any idea what's going on? | 02:28 |
| === verdeP_ is now known as verdeP | ||
| Jan- | hmm okay that code fixed flash | 02:29 |
| kpc | Why can windows see this share and linux cant | 02:29 |
| Jan- | why isn't that done by default? | 02:29 |
| kpc | i dont get it | 02:29 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: becourse it's non-free.. | 02:29 |
| Jan- | I wasn't asked for a credit card number | 02:29 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: not a discussion to be held here and now. | 02:30 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: it conveniently uses your bank account | 02:30 |
| k1l | Jan-: legal and license issues. and some users dont want flash as default on their systems, too. especially not something from google. | 02:30 |
| EriC^^ | ( j/k ) | 02:30 |
| Jan- | perhaps they could have an "I'm a normal human" checkbox on the installer? | 02:30 |
| kpc | if i whine alot do i get 3 people helping me? | 02:31 |
| kpc | if so count me in =D | 02:31 |
| k1l | Jan-: any other support issue? this is not a debating channel but a technical support channel. thanks | 02:31 |
| gtuckerkellogg | Software center seems to be having an authentication issue. | 02:31 |
| kpc | my samba share will not connect in linux but has no problem in windows | 02:31 |
| kpc | does anyone have any idea why this is happening | 02:32 |
| kpc | Ben was trying to help but ive gotten nowhere | 02:32 |
| bazhang | kpc to a rasp pi? | 02:32 |
| kpc | yes | 02:32 |
| Jan- | well, sorta | 02:32 |
| gtuckerkellogg | I've apt-get updated, and dpkg -a --configure 'd , etc. | 02:32 |
| Jan- | dare I ask | 02:32 |
| Jan- | skype? | 02:32 |
| Jan- | or is that a silly question | 02:32 |
| k1l | !skype | Jan- | 02:32 |
| ubottu | Jan-: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 02:32 |
| bazhang | kpc the pi is running ubuntu or what | 02:32 |
| gtuckerkellogg | but when i try to install from the software center GUI, I get this: org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.NotAuthorized: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.361'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages | 02:32 |
| kpc | the pi is running raspbian | 02:32 |
| kpc | and samba | 02:32 |
| bazhang | kpc how does ubuntu come into this | 02:33 |
| kpc | im using ubuntu | 02:33 |
| kpc | to connect to it | 02:33 |
| kpc | and it cant find it | 02:33 |
| bazhang | kpc to do what | 02:33 |
| kpc | i want to map the drive and i cant, i know it works because it works fine in windows | 02:33 |
| kpc | its an NAS | 02:33 |
| kpc | thus using samba | 02:33 |
| Jan- | this includes information on adding repositories | 02:33 |
| JohnnyL | how do i disable gvfsd? | 02:33 |
| Jan- | is this DEFINITELY safe? | 02:33 |
| Loshki | I want all sound on my ubuntu server to be redirected to a remote ubuntu desktop. I've only ever seen this work with rdp to a windows server. VNC seems to do everything I need *except* audio. Is there some pulseaudio magic? Does NX support this? | 02:33 |
| Jan- | oh hey losh | 02:34 |
| k1l | Jan-: the canonical partner repo is safe. i mean you want to install skype. so you want 3rd party code anyway | 02:34 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: easyer, just go to skype.com and download there. | 02:34 |
| Loshki | Jan-: hi Jan. But we don't chat here, this is support only, & they are strict about it. | 02:34 |
| Jan- | I got the strict. | 02:34 |
| bazhang | Jan-, so take the chit chat elsewhere | 02:35 |
| Jan- | at skype.com they don't list the version we have here | 02:35 |
| bazhang | Jan-, use the one from partner repo | 02:35 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: but the 12.04 version will work. | 02:35 |
| kpc | any ideas bazhang? | 02:36 |
| Jan- | what's a "partner repo" | 02:36 |
| kpc | i need to map a NAS samba share | 02:36 |
| Jan- | HurricaneHarry: is that guaranteed not to screw anything up? | 02:36 |
| k1l | Jan-: why didnt you read the link the bot gave you? | 02:36 |
| bazhang | !info skype partner | Jan- | 02:36 |
| kpc | does anyone here know how i can do that | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Jan-: skype (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service. In component main, is extra. Version 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (partner), package size 15 kB, installed size 61 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 02:36 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: thats what i am running. | 02:36 |
| bazhang | !partner | Jan- | 02:36 |
| ubottu | Jan-: Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 02:36 |
| Jan- | is there any way of finding out whether a particular piece of software is available for a particular kind of linux? | 02:37 |
| Jan- | there seem to be as many versions of linux as the day is long | 02:37 |
| Jan- | compatibility information is often vague | 02:37 |
| bazhang | Jan-, skype being safe or not is completely out of ubuntu's hands | 02:37 |
| kpc | ok once again | 02:37 |
| Jan- | well sure but installing the 12.04 version on what we have, which is not 12.04, seems risky | 02:37 |
| k1l | Jan-: see if that is in the official ubuntu repos. if so, install it with the ubuntu package system. | 02:37 |
| kpc | trying to map a NAS samba share | 02:37 |
| kpc | it does not show | 02:37 |
| kpc | does anyone here know how to make this happen | 02:37 |
| kpc | please | 02:37 |
| k1l | Jan-: did you read what we told you? you can use the ubuntu partner repo and get skype form ubuntu | 02:38 |
| HurricaneHarry | k1l: please stop that ill advise.. | 02:38 |
| bazhang | HurricaneHarry, dont advise the wrong thing then | 02:38 |
| HurricaneHarry | K1l: that is totaly outdated information. | 02:38 |
| kpc | if i change my name to jane can i get help too? | 02:38 |
| k1l | HurricaneHarry: i dont think telling him to download all software from websites is going to help him keep a working system | 02:39 |
| bazhang | kpc dont repeat every five seconds | 02:39 |
| k1l | HurricaneHarry: the partner repo is not outdated information | 02:39 |
| Jan- | I thought the idea in linux was that you had one centralised place to get software and it was all just automatically downloaded? | 02:39 |
| k1l | Jan-: what did i tell you? | 02:39 |
| Jan- | I have no idea. I have 16 people telling me various often contradictory things. | 02:40 |
| HurricaneHarry | k1l: running a i386 compat layer on a 64 bit is not outdated when skype provides a 64bit binary ? | 02:40 |
| bazhang | Jan-, the partner repo has useful commercial software, that is sometimes non-free, ie proprietary | 02:40 |
| EriC^^ | i feel like i know what it's like to be in a bad marriage right now | 02:40 |
| kpc | im not repeating every 5 seconds, but I have been helped twice and the person helping me just jumped to help jan, how about one person helps so its less confusing and frustrating for other that need help like myself | 02:40 |
| k1l | Jan-: the partner repo needs to be enabled first. then you can install skype from the regular software-center in ubuntu | 02:40 |
| Jan- | I couldn't possibly give a tinier hoot whether it's non free, proprietary, pink, or attached to a rampant wildebeest. | 02:41 |
| bazhang | Jan-, all the links we have given you will get you skype, but your need to editorialize is not supported here, so please stop that | 02:41 |
| Jan- | oh, er, just trying to keep the tone light :) | 02:41 |
| bazhang | Jan-, thats what the ot channel is for NOT Here | 02:41 |
| nell | i backed up my whole system with tar with this command: sudo tar -zcvpf .backup/date_backup.tar.gz --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /* | 02:42 |
| kpc | jan has been told the policy many times | 02:42 |
| nell | and when I go to restore, I forgot I encrypted my home dir | 02:42 |
| kpc | and i still cant get anyhelp | 02:42 |
| kpc | this is ludacris | 02:42 |
| k1l | HurricaneHarry: read the text. depending on your ubuntu install you wont need to add that because ubuntu is multiarch and afaik there is a 64bit skype in the partner repo as of now | 02:42 |
| nell | How do I backup and restore ubuntu with an encrypted home dir using tar? | 02:42 |
| bazhang | kpc try askubuntu while you wait then | 02:42 |
| Jan- | so, we downloaded the ubuntu 12.04 version and got a .deb file, and ran that, then hit the "install" button | 02:43 |
| EriC^^ | nell: if you've logged in i think your home dir would be decrypted | 02:43 |
| Jan- | it didn't say anything bad, but we still don't seem to, er, "have skype" in any sense. | 02:43 |
| bazhang | Jan-, and what version of ubuntu are you on | 02:43 |
| HurricaneHarry | k1l: hey whatever man, you're the one jumping in the conversation. | 02:43 |
| nell | EriC^^: I am logged in and I'm extracting the tar to / and my home dir is filling up with ECRYPTFS_etc | 02:43 |
| Jan- | ubuntu 14.04 LTS | 02:43 |
| xangua | !partnet | Jan- | 02:43 |
| xangua | and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype | 02:43 |
| xangua | !partner | 02:44 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 02:44 |
| HurricaneHarry | Jan-: wait a bit. | 02:44 |
| Ben64 | kpc: you must be doing something weird on your raspberry pi, works fine here | 02:44 |
| bazhang | Jan-, so dont install the 12.04 version, use the partner as has been suggested many many times now | 02:44 |
| Jan- | can someone please give me a definitive answer on what to do here | 02:44 |
| k1l | ok, so HurricaneHarry can support that now. since he made Jan- load some software from websites instead of using the official ubuntu one. | 02:44 |
| EriC^^ | nell: ok, no idea | 02:44 |
| kpc | Ben thats what im trying to figure out | 02:44 |
| kpc | what is going wrong? | 02:45 |
| nell | I'm going to use the built in backup option | 02:45 |
| bazhang | Jan-, the definitive answer is this: install from the ubuntu sources | 02:45 |
| HurricaneHarry | k1l: says the guy wanting him to compile all kinds of stuff. | 02:45 |
| EriC^^ | nell: the files in your backed up home dir aren't decrypted? | 02:45 |
| EriC^^ | nell: weren't you logged into the installation when you backed it up? | 02:46 |
| xangua | HurricaneHarry: to compile skype you would need the source first | 02:46 |
| Loshki | Jan-: I will. First, try what xangua said: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype. Log the output so we can see it if necessary. | 02:46 |
| HurricaneHarry | k1l: but enough with the rants. | 02:46 |
| kpc | im going to past my smb.conf | 02:46 |
| nell | no EriC^^ I backed up my system with rar while logged in | 02:46 |
| nell | tar* | 02:46 |
| Jan- | that apt command ends with "skype:i386 is already the newest version" and lists zero files to install etc | 02:46 |
| kpc | my pi is righteous | 02:46 |
| EriC^^ | nell: ok, shouldn't the files then be decrypted? | 02:46 |
| k1l | HurricaneHarry: *sigh* | 02:46 |
| rypervenche | Jan-: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f | 02:46 |
| nell | im going to use ubuntu's built in backup | 02:46 |
| nell | and then restore on the new computer | 02:46 |
| rypervenche | Jan-: Try that out. | 02:46 |
| pengin | nell: id just use deja-dup | 02:46 |
| Bohemus | Has anyone gotten Adobe Lightroom 5.7 to work on Wine? | 02:46 |
| grodt | sup niggas | 02:46 |
| nell | yeah thats whawt im doing now pengin | 02:46 |
| grodt | hi nell | 02:47 |
| Loshki | Jan-: good, what does "which skype" say? | 02:47 |
| Righteous | http://paste.ubuntu.com/10657388/ | 02:47 |
| grodt | Loshki, it asys, why you using skype nikka! | 02:47 |
| grodt | use google hangouts! | 02:47 |
| gtuckerkellogg | any suggestions on a software center authentication error? | 02:47 |
| kpc | Ben64 thats the pastebin from my pi | 02:47 |
| grodt | gtuckerkellogg, yea remvoe ubuntu entirely | 02:47 |
| Jan- | Loshki: /usr/bin/skype | 02:47 |
| xangua | gtuckerkellogg: how about sharing the actuall error in first place¿ | 02:47 |
| Jan- | that's like an old vax command | 02:48 |
| Ben64 | kpc: i don't see a pastebin from you? | 02:48 |
| DalekSec | kpc: Did you install cifs-utils and try to mount manually? | 02:48 |
| kpc | Ben64 Righteous is my raspberry pi | 02:48 |
| Loshki | Jan-: great. Now type "skype" at the prompt. | 02:48 |
| HurricaneHarry | now i give up, more people stepping in than i can handle. | 02:48 |
| Jan- | okay that seems to work, I don't have my mom's skype login details (and I'm sure she doesn't either) but we can work it from there | 02:49 |
| Jan- | the thing is she'll be expecting a big blue icon | 02:49 |
| kpc | dalek i havent | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | kpc: oh | 02:49 |
| Loshki | Jan-: you can skype me for practice if you like. PM | 02:49 |
| Jan- | oh | 02:49 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: are you on unity? | 02:49 |
| Jan- | he figured it out | 02:49 |
| Jan- | EriC^^: I'm sitting here on (thank god) windows 7 | 02:50 |
| gtuckerkellogg | xangua, i shared earlier. When I try to use software center from the GUI to install anything, I get a "you are not allowed to perform this action" popup, with the message "org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.NotAuthorized: ('system-bus-name', {'name': ':1.364'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages" | 02:50 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: i mean your ubuntu | 02:50 |
| Jan- | I'm sitting next to the guy who's using ubuntu | 02:50 |
| gtuckerkellogg | for the record, I can install from the command line with sudo apt-get | 02:50 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: unity? | 02:50 |
| Jan- | what's a unity | 02:50 |
| gtuckerkellogg | and i've apt-get updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, and dpkg -a --configure 'd | 02:50 |
| kpc | Ben64 have you seen any problems in that smb.conf"? | 02:51 |
| EriC^^ | it's the desktop environment, are there icons on the left? | 02:51 |
| Ben64 | kpc: yeah, you have user security on | 02:51 |
| kpc | DalekSec whats the command to mount? | 02:51 |
| grodt | use google hangouts! | 02:51 |
| Jan- | I think we're sort of in shape here | 02:51 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: ^ | 02:51 |
| kpc | Ben64 How can I disable it? | 02:51 |
| Ben64 | kpc: you're the one who changed that conf to begin with... | 02:51 |
| EriC^^ | Jan-: if you're using unity, open the dash (first icon) and type skype, then drag it to the left sidebar to place an icon | 02:52 |
| kpc | Ben64 thats helpful information ben, but not helpful and achieving a solution | 02:52 |
| Jan- | pretty sure that's what we did | 02:52 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 02:52 |
| Ben64 | kpc: mine works fine after installing samba on raspberry pi, you changed it, this isn't a raspberry pi support channel | 02:52 |
| Jan- | ooh firefox on ubuntu lacks adblocker | 02:53 |
| Ben64 | Jan-: nope | 02:53 |
| k1l | Jan-: just install the addon like you would on windows. | 02:53 |
| bazhang | Jan-, as does every new firefox | 02:53 |
| bazhang | Jan-, thats nothing to with ubuntu/window/mac | 02:53 |
| bazhang | Jan-, install it , just the same as in EVERY OTHER os | 02:54 |
| Jan- | yeah that's fairly consistent because it's all inside firefox | 02:54 |
| DalekSec | kpc: Something along the lines of mount.cifs //10.1.1.90/share /mnt/pi-share of course using the correct IP. | 02:54 |
| kpc | Ben64 no it's not but its a common linux application, I know that infact works on windows without a problem. If you don't want to help thats one thing, but the fact of the matter is ubuntu is part of the linux community and I know here i'll find friendly (for the most part) helpful information. Plus Im using ubuntu to connect so please ben let's not argue syamantics and please assist if not let soemone else | 02:54 |
| bazhang | Jan-, so why chat about it here | 02:54 |
| Ben64 | kpc: i don't know what config options raspberry pi's version of samba supports, you significantly changed the config from standard, i don't see how it's #ubuntu 's problem | 02:55 |
| grodt | gtuckerkellogg, kellogs cornflakes? | 02:57 |
| kpc | Ben64 I'm 100 percent positive the smb.conf for pi is the same as ubuntu. I think you know that as well, as I said before if you cant or dont want to help thats one thing. However, this verision of smb.conf is proven to work across MAC OSX and windows, that said the proble is an #ubuntu problem because ubuntu is the one with a problem | 02:57 |
| kpc | Ben64 arguing with you is a waste of time and counter productive can you please just assist? | 02:57 |
| aiyhenn | excuse me guyz | 02:58 |
| aiyhenn | im just new in ubuntu operating system | 02:58 |
| xangua | you are excused | 02:58 |
| Ben64 | kpc: yes, arguing is a waste of time. i suggest you go back to a standard smb.conf | 02:58 |

| skcin7 | I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS onto my Mid-2014 MacBook Air. When booting Ubuntu, after the GRUB menu appears, I choose to boot Ubuntu normally, and then the screen goes purple, and gets stuck on this purple screen. This only happens around 50% of the time, seemingly at random. Any ideas what is causing this and how to solve it? | 02:59 |
| skcin7 | There's a bunch of info for "Ubuntu stuck at purple screen" when searching Google, but none of it seems to answer my issue precisely. | 03:00 |
| Ben64 | kpc: well i tried your smb.conf in my pi, works fine, you might have a network problem or you might not be running ubuntu or you may have been typing every command improperly, or something else along those lines | 03:01 |
| k1l | kpc: reloaded smb for loading the smb.comf? | 03:02 |
| kpc | Ben64 i'd side with running commands wrong, considering im 100 percent positive im running ubuntu, to clearify since you didn't see the first time I am using raspiben on my raspberry pi and ubuntu on my desktop | 03:03 |
| k1l | kpc: used smbpasswd to make the accounts to login? (just askin general common issues) | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | kpc: i did see that | 03:03 |
| kpc | k1 im worry i dont understand that question | 03:03 |
| kpc | sorry* | 03:04 |
| Ben64 | a lot of people come in here claiming they run ubuntu but they're not | 03:04 |

| decadence18 | I'm having a problem. Nothing is being written to /var/log/auth.log whenever I fail to login using ssh | 04:41 |

| decadence18 | User: Syslog, Group: Root | 04:42 |
| _anthony_ | sudo chmod +w /var/log/auth.log | 04:42 |
| _anthony_ | ? | 04:42 |
| Ben64 | _anthony_: what is the permissions of it now | 04:43 |
| decadence18 | Still nothing _anthony_ | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | oh | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | decadence18: what are the permissions now | 04:43 |
| TiK | shmod o+w | 04:43 |
| TiK | chmod o+w | 04:44 |
| TiK | :P | 04:44 |
| decadence18 | Remind me how to look at the permissions from terminal. It's 12:44 and my brain is only half working. | 04:44 |
| Ben64 | ls -l file | 04:44 |
| _anthony_ | decadence18: ls -lh /var/log/auth.log | 04:44 |
| TiK | i do ls -la file | 04:44 |
| decadence18 | -rw-r--r-- 1 syslog adm 0 Mar 23 00:32 /var/log/auth.log | 04:45 |
| _anthony_ | decadence18: here's mine .... -rw-r----- 1 root adm 9.9K Mar 23 00:45 /var/log/auth.log | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | _anthony_: shouldn't be | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 17923713 Mar 23 00:45 /var/log/auth.log | 04:45 |
| _anthony_ | Ben64: ? | 04:45 |
| Ben64 | shouldn't be root, should be syslog | 04:45 |
| _anthony_ | eh, I'm on debian testing .... | 04:46 |
| _anthony_ | Came this way | 04:46 |
| decadence18 | *repeatedly bangs head against keyboard* | 04:46 |
| Stifler | decadence18 has correct permission other than all read. | 04:46 |
| Ben64 | indeed | 04:46 |
| decadence18 | Any other ideas? I got it to write at one point, cleared it back out, and it stopped working again. | 04:47 |
| Stifler | decadence18: what is the setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? | 04:48 |
| Ben64 | decadence18: cleared it? why | 04:48 |
| Stifler | LogLevel and SyslogFacility | 04:48 |
| decadence18 | SyslogFacility AUTH, LogLevel VERBOSE | 04:48 |
| decadence18 | and I cleared it because I spammed it with my own test login failures | 04:49 |
| Stifler | hmm | 04:49 |
| Ben64 | decadence18: remove read from all on that file, and reboot | 04:49 |
| Ben64 | and stop messing with system files | 04:49 |
| decadence18 | Yeahhhh I kind of have to mess with them considering the program I'm writing | 04:50 |
| Ben64 | no you don't | 04:50 |
| _anthony_ | decadence18: what's the output of lsattr ? | 04:51 |
| decadence18 | Yes, I do. Considering what I'm writing is a defensive "malware" @ ben64. and _anthony_: -------------e-- | 04:51 |
| Ben64 | decadence18: you really really don't ever need to mess with an active log file | 04:51 |
| _anthony_ | decadence18: thanks, it doesn't have the 'immutable' switch that I was thinking the problem could be | 04:52 |
| decadence18 | Obviously I don't need to clear it while it's active, but I would rather not attack my own computer @Ben64. And okay _anthony_ | 04:52 |
| _anthony_ | decadence18: last thing I'd think of is delete the file and re-create it as root, then chown / chmod back to proper permissions | 04:53 |
| cfhowlett | decadence18, virtualbox. attack at your indulgence. | 04:53 |
| _anthony_ | ... and with that, I bow out gracefully | 04:53 |
| Ben64 | how is letting a log file log normally "attacking" | 04:53 |
| decadence18 | The malware I wrote attacks any address appearing with "malicious intent" in my auth.log file. An ip appearing 20 times is considered malicious by it | 04:54 |
| decadence18 | And thank you for your help anthony | 04:54 |
| Ben64 | well thats illegal | 04:54 |
| _anthony_ | :) | 04:54 |
| somsip | decadence18: and IP spoofing allows that approach to be used to attack third parties, and you will look like the instigator of the attack. Good luck... | 04:55 |
| decadence18 | Not the "attack" i'm using | 04:55 |
| decadence18 | @somsip I know, I'm working on that part | 04:55 |
| Ben64 | if its called attack, its illegal | 04:55 |
| Ben64 | you should a) stop doing that b) stop messing with active log files and c) stop talking about it here | 04:56 |
| decadence18 | @Ben64 if you break into my house and I attack you, it's not illegal, it's self defense. | 04:56 |
| Stifler | is your program holding the auth.log file open such that the system cannot write to it? | 04:56 |
| Ben64 | decadence18: if someone touches your port 22 its not even close to the same thing | 04:56 |
| decadence18 | @stifler, my program isn't even running at the moment | 04:56 |
| Stifler | decadence18: tried purging ssh server and reinstalling? | 04:57 |
| Ben64 | its not a ssh problem | 04:58 |
| Ben64 | its a messing with active log files problem | 04:58 |
| Stifler | no, but clean slate. | 04:58 |
| Ben64 | no, just reboot | 04:58 |
| decadence18 | Ben64, I'm going to say this one more time. The log file was not active. I know this with 100% certanty. | 04:58 |
| Ben64 | the log file is always active | 04:58 |
| Stifler | if sshd is running, its active | 04:59 |
| decadence18 | Not when I'm accessing it from a different OS | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | if you're not running the os, why would anything write to the log file | 04:59 |
| Stifler | ? | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | Stifler: sshd is not the only thing that uses that log file | 05:00 |
| decadence18 | I'm running a VM setup allowing me to attempt to ssh into it and then shut down the system and access the log files and such | 05:00 |
| Stifler | @Ben64, is it? did not know. | 05:01 |
| Ben64 | sudo, cron, samba, pam, other stuff | 05:01 |
| Stifler | fair call. Ive only ever looked at it for failed 22 attempts. | 05:02 |
| decadence18 | I'm done for the night. I'll restart my quest for an answer tomorrow. Thank you all for your help | 05:02 |
| Stifler | guess he could look at syslog.conf? | 05:03 |

| KURT_ | how do i reboot my computer im using ubunto | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | sudo reboot | 05:08 |
| _anthony_ | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shutdown-ubuntu-linux-computer/ | 05:09 |
| _anthony_ | ... it's pretty much what Ben64 said | 05:09 |
| KURT_ | i have no sound since they updated to 14 and cant afford to pay someone i am trying everything | 05:10 |
| KURT_ | can someone please help me | 05:11 |
| monk12 | hey all, i have a client who uploads and fancifies their photos via Instagram... I thought it would be cool instead of them having to find Instagram image, dl to their computer, and reupload it to a blog post on their website... would be better if there was a filepicker in the Edit screen that just hooked into Instagram and could search and find the file to embed into the blog post's image or url src/href attributes. | 05:12 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: open a terminal and enter sudo reboot as Ben64 mentioned | 05:12 |
| KURT_ | how do i get my sound back | 05:12 |
| monk12 | whoops wrong channel. sorry guys. off to Drupal. | 05:12 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: what broke your sound? how do you know it's not working and not just muted or the volume turned all the way down? | 05:13 |
| KURT_ | it stopped working when they updated to ubunto 14 automatically | 05:14 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: Why can't you use the system menu in the upper right corner to shut the machine off? | 05:16 |
| _anthony_ | The normal way to shut down or restart the machine | 05:16 |
| KURT_ | dont want to shutdown or restart just want sound back im not computer savvy | 05:18 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: That's exactly what you asked for when you came in | 05:18 |
| _anthony_ | "how do i reboot my computer im using ubunto" | 05:19 |
| _anthony_ | Those were your exact words | 05:19 |
| KURT_ | asked because im trying to get my sound back sorry for the confusion | 05:20 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: if you can't reboot via the command line or the graphical interface, then you're left with 2 other options | 05:21 |
| _anthony_ | (NOT RECOMMENDED) hard power down by holding the power button for 10 seconds | 05:21 |
| _anthony_ | Or follow the insructions from this URL: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-reboot-your-ubuntu-system-only-if-all-else-fails.html | 05:21 |
| KURT_ | im trying to use commands in terminal to get sound back and then reboot | 05:22 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: have you tried running "pavucontrol" to bring your graphical volume settings ? | 05:24 |
| _anthony_ | KURT_: or "alsamixer" if you're sticking to purely command line | 05:24 |
| KURT_ | no i know absolutely nothing about this o.s | 05:25 |
| _anthony_ | I'm sorry but I probably can't help you then | 05:25 |
| _anthony_ | Best of luck troubleshooting | 05:25 |
| KURT_ | thanks anthony | 05:26 |

| cestdiego | so I asked this before but I think I got into a misunderstanding | 05:43 |
| cestdiego | I'm part of the development of a scientific software that depends on the latest versions of libint and libxc (not included in the official ubuntu repos) and we want to make this package available in ubuntu in an easy way | 05:44 |
| cestdiego | should I create a ppa with the newer versions of these libraries and my software? | 05:44 |
| _anthony_ | CyborgCygnus: Is there an option to right click in the Nautilus window and "open terminal here" like there is in Thunar | 05:45 |
| cestdiego | hello | 05:53 |
| CyborgCygnus | _anthony_, Doesn't apppear to be | 05:54 |
| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 05:54 |
| _anthony_ | CyborgCygnus: It's called "open in terminal" ... I just checked | 05:54 |
| _anthony_ | That'll open the working directory in a terminal for you | 05:54 |
| cestdiego | !checkinstall | 05:54 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 05:54 |
| _anthony_ | CyborgCygnus: Navigate to the proper working directory in Nautilus (or "Files"), right-click and select "open in terminal" | 05:55 |
| cestdiego | wow | 05:55 |
| _anthony_ | You should be g2g | 05:55 |
| cestdiego | that was really helpful | 05:55 |
| CyborgCygnus | _anthony_, Well I've trying right click in the folder & no such option | 05:55 |
| _anthony_ | CyborgCygnus: what desktop environment are you using? | 05:56 |
| _anthony_ | Unity, XFCE, LXDE, KDE, etc ? | 05:56 |
| _anthony_ | btw, there won't be a keyboard shortcut for what you want | 05:56 |
| CyborgCygnus | _anthony_, Ubuntu 14.04, this is the ubuntu chat right? Unity | 05:56 |
| _anthony_ | Not out of the box, anyways | 05:56 |
| dtscode | hey guys... i installed iredmail, and it worked, but i woke up this morning and it stopped working. the mail server is up but i cant access the mail page. any suggestions? | 05:57 |
| lotuspsychje | dtscode: you could try starting it from terminal, see what errors you get? | 05:57 |
| cestdiego | !packaging | 05:58 |
| _anthony_ | CyborgCygnus: Right click in an open white space, not on a folder and the context menu will have the option I'm referencing | 05:58 |
| ubottu | The packaging guide is at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring | 05:58 |
| linuxuz3r | is wayland avaiable in ubuntu | 05:58 |
| dtscode | lotuspsychje, thanks | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | linuxuz3r: try playonlinux or appdb database mate | 05:58 |
| linuxuz3r | ok | 05:58 |
| Jonno_FTW | when I do aptitude search, my terminal gets highlighted and I can | 05:59 |
| Jonno_FTW | 't unhighlight it | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | Jonno_FTW: might be usefull to make a screenshot of what you mean exactly | 06:01 |
| CyborgCygnus | _anthony_, DEfinitely not on mine, it's 100% stock. Where to upload a screensot of my results? | 06:02 |

| lotuspsychje | Jonno_FTW: hmm thats weird indeed, do you have the same with apt-cache search python? | 06:07 |
| Jonno_FTW | lotuspsychje: yes | 06:10 |
| Jonno_FTW | it's not highlighting, just changing the terminal colours | 06:10 |
| Jonno_FTW | looks like a problem when printing a python- package | 06:11 |
| flexpaint | https://developers.google.com/gdata/articles/python_client_lib?csw=1 im trying to install this but im stuck on step 3. it gives me "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" | 06:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Jonno_FTW: can you install another terminal, to check? like terminator or whatever | 06:11 |
| Jonno_FTW | lotuspsychje: doesn't happen in xterm | 06:12 |
| lotuspsychje | Jonno_FTW: you could also try this for a new user you create, maybe your terminal profile needs a reset | 06:13 |

| Ray__ | Hi all I'm new to servers and deluge. I have deluge setup on an old server, I have just built a new server. Is there a way I can move or migrate my old deluged and webui to my new server? | 07:01 |
| Ben64 | Ray__: the binaries? no. you can move your config, but it might not work with a newwer version | 07:03 |
| hdon | skcin7, isn't hand-holdy the problem with ubuntu? | 07:03 |
| * hdon no troll | 07:03 | |
| celexi | yeah i dont think ubuntu would be the best choice for no handholding | 07:04 |
| celexi | maybe debian but even that would not be as hard | 07:04 |
| celexi | i would guess gentoo or archlinux would be appropriate for that | 07:05 |
| Ray__ | Ben64 thanks so if I find where my config is and I have all the same info in the correct places, then it might work? | 07:06 |
| Ben64 | Ray__: its ~/.config/deluge but sure, maybe | 07:06 |

| hdon | (the zeros are mine. the real signature has been removed, even though it should be harmless, i just have no experience really with ecryptfs) | 07:08 |
| hdon | so what is the "keyring" ? | 07:09 |

| hdon | HewloThere, or is this an "intranet" mailserver? | 08:07 |
| reza | hi guys | 08:07 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Urm.... The domain I'm serving mail on? e.g. outlook.com? In which case, impurity-clan.com. Or FQDN, I'd use mail.impurity-clan.com. I'm not sure what you mean by Intranet though. | 08:08 |
| reza | how much swap do I for using vm in ubuntu | 08:08 |
| reza | ? | 08:08 |
| bokoboko | Morning everybody! | 08:09 |
| hdon | HewloThere, "intranet" just means email would be generally undeliverable from the general Internet, but would be only for internal company/organization purposes | 08:09 |
| hdon | HewloThere, ok so, what other purposes does the system you are using as your mailserver serve? | 08:09 |
| reza | morning | 08:10 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Oh. I plan to share it with the leaders of my clan leader. | 08:10 |
| bokoboko | Should/Can I upgrade Ubuntu's Python 2.7.6 to 2.7.9 ? | 08:10 |
| hdon | HewloThere, probably webserver, other services i take it | 08:10 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Yup. | 08:10 |
| bokoboko | (I have ubuntu 14.04) | 08:10 |
| hdon | HewloThere, ok. so when you send an email, first thing your MTA (mail transfer agent) will do is look up the name of the server it is supposed to talk to in order to send mail to the domain it needs to send mail to | 08:10 |
| hdon | HewloThere, in the case of people sending email to johndoe@impurity-clan.com, this would mean looking up the MX DNS record for impurity-clan.com | 08:11 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Mmm... | 08:11 |
| hdon | HewloThere, now generally, an organization separates out the mail server from other functions, at least in the DNS records, so that it can be changed more easily, and so that an outage or maintenance on one service does not affect others | 08:12 |
| hdon | HewloThere, in your case, you really only have on system, so all the business about fully-qualified domain names is kind of a moot point: your system should be named impurity-clan.com | 08:12 |
| HewloThere | Oh... Okay. Thanks, hdon. =) | 08:12 |
| reza | how much swap do I need for using vm in ubuntu | 08:13 |
| hdon | HewloThere, np :) hope the explanation helped. remember, too, that you will need to set your MX DNS record | 08:13 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Okay! | 08:13 |
| hdon | HewloThere, how much swap inside the vm? | 08:13 |
| HewloThere | Wrong person. =P | 08:13 |
| hdon | err | 08:13 |
| hdon | reza, how much swap inside the vm? or the host system? | 08:13 |
| reza | I want to install new os | 08:14 |
| HewloThere | hdon: I think I got what you meant. Would this be the correct part of the file for FQDN? http://paste.ee/r/6zBfn | 08:14 |
| hdon | reza, install new OS from within an emulator? | 08:14 |
| reza | iwant to know how much should I use for | 08:14 |
| reza | libux to later use win7 in vm | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | reza, issue isn't ubuntu swap. issue is how much memory you assign to the vm. | 08:15 |
| hdon | HewloThere, these look like entries for /etc/hosts file. this file is consulted before DNS servers are consulted when resolving a hostname on the local system. the format is: address hostname1 [hostname2 [hostname3 [...]]] | 08:15 |
| reza | really? | 08:15 |
| hdon | HewloThere, so far so good :) | 08:15 |
| HewloThere | hdon: So that should work? | 08:16 |
| reza | so is there okay to not use swap at all? | 08:16 |
| hdon | reza, the VM will only need to swap when it runs out of RAM, however, its RAM doesn't really exist (unless you dedicate host RAM to the VM, but i never done this, so i don't know) | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | reza, how much ram do you have? | 08:16 |
| hdon | HewloThere, yes but it's not the only change you need to make. what does your /etc/hostname file say? | 08:16 |
| reza | 3Gb | 08:17 |
| HewloThere | hdon: It says "Mail". | 08:17 |
| hdon | HewloThere, heh, you will want to change that | 08:17 |
| pootis_penser_he | by what program to cut video? | 08:17 |
| HewloThere | hdon: Will I change it to the same as the other fiel? | 08:17 |
| hdon | HewloThere, btw are you running a webserver yet? | 08:17 |
| HewloThere | file * | 08:17 |
| cfhowlett | pootis_penser_he, openshot | 08:17 |
| HewloThere | hdon: iRedMail installs it for me. | 08:18 |
| hdon | HewloThere, oh, neat | 08:18 |
| reza | hdon:3GB | 08:18 |
| cfhowlett | reza, lubuntu or xubuntu will probably run better with that small amount of ram. ubuntu will be sluggish | 08:18 |
| hdon | HewloThere, remember to reboot after change /etc/hostname | 08:18 |
| hdon | HewloThere, actually a full reboot isn't needed, but it's easiest way to do it for newb ;) | 08:19 |
| HewloThere | Okay. =) | 08:19 |
| HewloThere | What would I change Mail in /etc/hostname to? | 08:19 |
| reza | no im runing kubuntu 64bit with no problen | 08:20 |
| reza | problem | 08:20 |
| hdon | HewloThere, well the hostname is how the system refers to itself. if you want it to be the system you talk to when you talk to impurity-clan.com, then bet on making that your hostname | 08:20 |
| HewloThere | Oooooh. | 08:20 |
| hdon | HewloThere, many software depend on the system's configured hostname to determine how to identify itself when talking to other systems, too (like mail server, for instance,) so this is why it exists | 08:21 |
| HewloThere | Okey. | 08:21 |
| reza | hdon:can you help me? | 08:23 |
| minimec | reza: I would create some swap, if you want to 'hibernate' the computer, but not as swap partition, but as a swapfile. You are much more flexible like that. Other possibility would be 'zram-config'. Zram config gives you some virtual (compressed) swap out of your RAM. | 08:24 |
| cfhowlett | !swap | reza | 08:24 |
| ubottu | reza: 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 | 08:24 |
| reza | ubottu :I see that link but I don't see something that can help me | 08:27 |
| ubottu | reza: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 08:27 |
| irontree9 | running on xubuntu: have an small issue. I need to install linux-image 3.19.2 because they fixed some issues with the acpi and gfx card. however, i have the no-pae thin won't let the deb package install. how do I get around that. | 08:29 |
| irontree9 | I am only use to ./configure make make install | 08:30 |
| agent_white | reza: It may be more pertinent to view how often you are hitting/using swap before adjusting it. | 08:30 |
| irontree9 | my cpu does support pae but does not have a flag for it | 08:30 |
| agent_white | irontree9: Is this the first time you've tried to use a custom kernel? | 08:34 |
| minimec | reza: Wha exatcly is your question... Do you have 'swap' on your running kubuntu installation? Would you like to add one? | 08:34 |
| irontree9 | on ubuntu yes, but no. I have used custome kernels alot. hold on think I am over looking something | 08:35 |
| irontree9 | custom | 08:35 |
| agent_white | minimec: He wants to know how much swap is needed for a base VM. | 08:35 |
| agent_white | irontree9: "i have the no-pae thin won't let the deb package install" . Can you rephrase that? I don't quite understand what you mean. | 08:36 |
| reza | I want to install new os but I don't want to use swap on the other hand someone told me is I want to use vm I must have swap partion | 08:36 |
| reza | do I made it clear | 08:36 |
| * irontree9 trying to make sense of the crazy grub.cfg | 08:36 | |
| minimec | agent_white: During installation of his windows7 VM, he will not be able to choose that anyway... | 08:36 |
| agent_white | reza: Yes you did. It depends on how much RAM you have given your VM. | 08:37 |
| agent_white | reza: And what you intend to do on the VM. It will use swap when no RAM is available. | 08:38 |
| Stifler | reza: You should have a swap in a VM. Guest OS will manage memory better than the VM host. How much depends on what you are doing. | 08:38 |
| agent_white | ^ | 08:38 |
| minimec | reza: Ok. I want to know, if you have some swap on your running kubuntu installation. It is important for us to know that. | 08:38 |
| agent_white | minimec: It is most important to know what the VM will be used for :) | 08:39 |
| minimec | agent_white: No, it is definitely not... | 08:39 |
| irontree9 | agent_white, my cpu doesn't have a flag showing that it supports PAE but it does. It becomes a problem with the boot disk so i have to pass forcepae, but it looks like the deb package is complaining as well | 08:39 |
| irontree9 | let me put up a paste bin | 08:39 |
| agent_white | minimec: I would disagree. For instance, with 16gb of RAM on my machine I can give a single VM used as a DNS server 4gb RAM and could justifiably give it no swap space at all. | 08:40 |
| irontree9 | http://pastebin.com/VGRKmRJ9 | 08:41 |
| attlasbot | Does anyone a cool copyclip type thing? | 08:41 |
| hdon | reza, every OS needs RAM and SWAP. this includes your host OS, and the OS inside your VM. however, RAM and SWAP in the VM are virtual -- they do not exist physically. instead, the emulator will request resources from the host OS in which to store memory which the VM sees as its own RAM and its own SWAP. you need to consider the physical resources allocated to your host OS, and the demands placed on your system by your applications. | 08:41 |
| Sr_D | hi, can anyone recommend me a good USB Wireless adapter for Ubuntu. Actually I have an alpha network but the drivers are too old and I have some problems to get high rate | 08:42 |
| hdon | oh well i guess reza left | 08:42 |
| minimec | agent_white: I would use zram-config in the VM. I do not allocate swap space in the VM... or again maybe a swapfile. | 08:42 |
| Stifler | reza: a Simple example: you have a VM ubuntu which you have given 4 gig RAM. Since its VM we assume that you dont need hibernation support. Therefore 4Gig swap COULD be a unnecessary expense. | 08:42 |
| agent_white | minimec: I'm not familiar with zram-config :) Fair enough! I'll have to do some research into it! | 08:43 |
| minimec | agent_white: and... with a windows VM he cannot allocate swap either... | 08:43 |
| agent_white | minimec: He can't allocate swap running a ubuntu in a VM inside windows? | 08:43 |
| minimec | agent_white: No... the other way. He has kubuntu as host and wants to use a win7 guest. | 08:44 |
| agent_white | minimec: OH! WOW! Ignore my point then entirely. I read it all wrong :) | 08:45 |
| === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti | ||

| irontree9 | agent_white, I found the offend line in the preinst script in the dep package and am trying to build a forcepae version of the dep file but I am a idiot with dpkg | 08:57 |
| irontree9 | offending | 08:57 |
| agent_white | irontree9: Cheers :) Thanks for the followup. I got distracted after taking a peek at your issue. | 08:58 |
| irontree9 | agent_white, no problem. dpkg -b is just bitching about not finding ./DEBIAN/control but it is right there?? in ./control | 08:59 |

| ivali | How can chromium-browser keep its settings after apt-get purge / apt-get install | 09:19 |
| ivali | I am still signed in | 09:19 |
| minimec | ivali: because your local settings are stored in /home/'ivali'/.config/chromium ? | 09:20 |
| ivali | i thought purge deletes the configuration files. thanks for the tip. | 09:20 |
| ivali | for a second i got scared. "how does he know my home is "ivali"?" :P | 09:21 |
| minimec | ivali: yes... 'purge' deletes config files, but only on system level (like /etc/... stuff), not the local configuration of each user. | 09:23 |
| irontree9 | agent_white, okay I unpacked the kernel deb file useing dpkg -e and dpkg -x and edited the preinst script to force the pae. this fixes the pae problem but when I rebuild the deb file with dpkg -b it is not acting in the same manner and I am getting a strange error | 09:24 |
| irontree9 | I am assuming I am breaking it some how unpacking and repacking it | 09:24 |
| irontree9 | or unpacking and rebuilding or however debian goes about it. | 09:25 |
| irontree9 | the strange error being: unable to open file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci//boot': Is a directory | 09:26 |

| pekee | :) | 09:38 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | are there hotkeys in terminal to jump to the last command instead of having to scroll for where the begining of your command | 09:40 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | is | 09:40 |
| EriC^ | SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: huh | 09:40 |
| EriC^ | go to the first part of the sentence you mean? | 09:40 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | EriC^, word | 09:40 |
| EriC^ | ctrl+a | 09:40 |
| EriC^ | ctrl+e for the end | 09:41 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | EriC^, o ya thats super usefull but like the last command so for example im using nmap and it gives me a bunch of info and it puts me at the bottom of all of it where i can type in my next command but im looking for the hotkey to show where my last command was inputed | 09:42 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | if that makes sense | 09:42 |
| EriC^ | you want to scroll up? | 09:43 |
| EriC^ | lol | 09:43 |
| EriC^ | is that what you're saying? | 09:43 |
| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | ya but just right to the last argument | 09:43 |

| SVCR3D-SHVD0WS | what type of terminal is ubuntu 14.04 using (this may be a dumb question but im just clarifying) because i know it used to use gnome as the user interface in older versions but is it still using a gnome terminal or is it a unity terminal? | 09:49 |
| agent_white | Stifler: Hahahah | 09:49 |
| bokoboko | In windows on idle is colder but when I open youtube or skype call it heats up | 09:49 |

| bokoboko | In ubuntu it always hot | 09:49 |
| EriC^ | i couldn't find anything on that page | 09:50 |
| bokoboko | Can i disable any graphic settings etc? I am not eperienced Linux user so.. | 09:51 |
| EriC^ | bokoboko: do you need 3d acceleration? | 09:52 |
| bokoboko | If I knew what is this or what it does... :S | 09:52 |
| bokoboko | Nevermind tell me how to disable it :) | 09:53 |
| EriC^ | i find using the proprietary drivers i get around 68-70'C or so and on the open source ones it sits at around 50 | 09:53 |
| HurricaneHarry | SVCR3D_SHV0WS: maybe you are looking for ctrl-r (reverse search of history?) | 09:53 |
| EriC^ | bokoboko: i mean do you need to play games which need the gpu or something like that? | 09:53 |
| minimec | bokoboko: I would try to start with "sudo pm-powersave true" in a terminal. That should put the computer in 'powersave' mode. It should run cooler like that. Next step would be to disable the discrete GPU if you have one, or 'cpu undervolint' (quiet tricky) | 09:54 |
| bokoboko | I tried once to install proprietary (even if i dont know about these things) but I messed up things and I couldnt see anything and thank god i could restore it | 09:54 |
| EriC^ | HurricaneHarry: he wants something that will scroll up in the buffer to the previous command's last output | 09:54 |
| bokoboko | No no games | 09:54 |
| EriC^ | HurricaneHarry: i'd be blown away if somebody made something like that | 09:54 |
| bokoboko | Ok let me write these things cause ur throwing info :D | 09:55 |
| bokoboko | Ok so I have to disable 3d acceleration cause I do not play any games especially in linux | 09:55 |
| bokoboko | also do the powesave true | 09:55 |
| EriC^ | bokoboko: type lspci -nnl | grep -A2 VGA | 09:56 |
| bokoboko | minimec what are the 2 things u said i dont know them | 09:56 |

| bokoboko | is this the word you wanted to know i guess? | 09:57 |
| EriC^ | lol in what context | 09:57 |
| EriC^ | driver in use? | 09:57 |
| minimec | bokoboko: Do you have a intel CPU from the i* series with integrated GPU? If this is the case, you can disable the additional amd 'radeon' GPU and only use the intel CPU/GPU. That helps a lot. | 09:57 |
| bokoboko | kernel driver in use: radeon | 09:57 |
| EriC^ | ok, looks like you're using the open source driver | 09:58 |
| minimec | bokoboko: undervolting would be the last step (to avoid if possible) | 09:58 |
| bokoboko | ok cool i understood minimec i have to check the model to see that | 09:58 |

In 12.04 however you would have the opensource and the nvidia proprietary driver as choice. That's what I read on the internet. | 10:15 |
| bokoboko | I see well i use it for almost 2 months now | 10:16 |

| minimec | bokoboko: shouldn't make a huge difference (compiz). Do you tried to use that 'pm-powersave' command once. does it lower the temp? | 10:20 |
| bokoboko | but still even with mics only heats up | 10:20 |
| bokoboko | Ill do it now minimec | 10:20 |

| MasterChief10 | Hello, How to run guest OS in ubuntu KVM with lower cpu speed than physical? | 11:05 |
| sta7ic | I am really over grub...not sure why we strayed away from LILO, so much easier to understand.. | 11:06 |
| jishjish | guys how long should it take to format a 3tb hard drive with gpt partition table and ext4 --> mine is taking a very long time using command line installer and i have no idea how much time | 11:06 |
| sta7ic | I re-installed ubuntu and now it wont see my other linux distro, and boot repair doesnt work because i am using GPT...and there is no grub.menu file or anything useful in /boot/grub | 11:07 |
| sta7ic | jishjish, should not be too long unless you used encryption and decided to over write the empty space? how long has it been? | 11:08 |
| jishjish | a long time | 11:08 |
| jishjish | certainly a good while | 11:08 |
| MasterChief10 | jishjish: I don't understand mechanism of formatting but in my experience program "Disks" from default Ubuntu installation takes just minute or two, while gParted takes ages | 11:09 |
| sta7ic | jishjish, how long is long, rough esitmate... | 11:09 |
| MasterChief10 | jishjish: and command line too. even without overwriting | 11:09 |
| jishjish | yeah MasterChief10 i agree im not technical but it seems to be taking way too long? | 11:10 |
| sta7ic | jishjish, you should be able to check the output of dmesg | 11:10 |
| sta7ic | jishjish, in a different window run 'dmesg' | 11:10 |
| jishjish | sta7ic:what is dmesg how do I run it? | 11:10 |
| jishjish | ah ok | 11:10 |
| sta7ic | jishjish, see if there are any errors being spit out regarding the reformat | 11:11 |

| === Guest17768 is now known as RahulAN | ||

| StanDarsh | huig: I assume you already installed the drivers within Settings? | 11:51 |
| sta7ic | huig: i am not an expert but i do know a little about wifi, u could do something like 'lscpi -vnn' and then find out which hardware u have and then find out which driver u are using, it could also be that some other module needs to be 'blacklisted' because its causing interference or might not be using the best driver | 11:52 |
| huig | i have been using it for months | 11:52 |
| huig | but wifi just is intermitent | 11:52 |
| huig | sometimes it works fine but others every 5 minutes or so it justs disconnects | 11:53 |
| huig | i didn't need any drivers | 11:53 |

| === daniel is now known as Guest57930 | ||
| huig | i have it turned off | 11:53 |
| sta7ic | huig, of course you do, it just auto detected and assigned u the ones it thought u needed, you can also check additional drivers and see if there is a propietary driver to use | 11:54 |
| huig | but if i run sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on | 11:54 |

| sta7ic | huig, for example, in my wireless card, ubuntu installs the 'wl' driver, but this only semi works for me, when i switched it out for the b43 driver, i had full access of commands to run against it | 12:00 |
| sta7ic | huig, so first step, find out what wireless card u have by running lscpi -vnn, then find out what wifi driver your using probably by 'lsmod' or check google for how to find that, 3rdly, check 'additional drivers' in one of the system menus to see if there is a proprietay 3rd party driver you can install but needs your approval because its not open source | 12:02 |

| === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon | ||
| lasko | Nindustries: Well the question is -- what directory did you do this in first off? | 12:57 |
| Nindustries | ~/Downloads | 12:58 |

| Nindustries | oh | 12:58 |

| Nindustries | lasko: you sure? | 12:59 |
| lasko | Nindustries: Yes I'm sure. If you were in ~/Downloads and you ran rm -rf * --- then you would only be deleteing items in the current directory | 12:59 |

| === Guest57930 is now known as KentAgent | ||
| Nindustries | ah no, luckily | 13:00 |
| Nindustries | Thanks :) I must have been confusing them | 13:00 |
| Nindustries | I did a watch -n 1 df -h and saw the used space in / drop significantly, that's why I was panicking | 13:01 |
| lasko | Nindustries: There are a few ways to recover what you've deleted. I've never personally used them but I know there are tools you can get through apt-get to help recover those items. | 13:01 |
| rypervenche | Nindustries: * expands to all characters, meaning everything in your present working directory (not including files or folders starting with a dot) | 13:01 |
| Nindustries | Well, if it only removed files in ~/Downloads, i'm happy | 13:01 |
| Nindustries | rypervenche: Ahh, ok. I tought * would include .. too | 13:02 |
| RMJ | lasko - thankswas acpi=force irqpoll the wrong way around then? | 13:02 |
| lasko | Nindustries: Essentiall * means ./* | 13:02 |
| Nindustries | Ok ^^ | 13:02 |
| rypervenche | Nope, there is protection against that by default. | 13:02 |
| trijntje | I want to store a list of file paths as a string for a program I am writing. What is the safest character to use as a delimiter? | 13:02 |
| rypervenche | trijntje: What language? | 13:04 |
| trijntje | rypervenche: python, but I need to store the paths in an sqlite database, hence the requirment to put them in a string first | 13:04 |
| RMJ | trikntje - it's not the most elegant solution but depending on how you're exploding your string of filenames, you could use a 2 (or more)-character delimiter such as ., which is very unlikely to occur in any filenames - it's a kludge but it works (in php at least, not sure about python) | 13:05 |
| trijntje | RMJ: I was thinking newline myself, since I dont think many programs allow for the creation of filenames with newlines, even if ext4 allows it | 13:06 |
| rypervenche | trijntje: You should probably use a list for that. I would ask in the Python IRC channel. | 13:06 |
| trijntje | rypervenche: sqlite doesnt allow for lists ;) | 13:06 |
| RMJ | pipe | is pretty unusual, or ¬ if they're recognised chars but that's not based on knowledge of python...newline might be an issue depending on file paths because of slashes | 13:07 |
| RMJ | e.g. in windows you'd have file paths like home\new folder\stupid way of organising a directory tree.docx | 13:09 |
| sohail-ahmed | I am unable to scan from a network printer. Would any body help. xsane gives device is busy | 13:09 |

| carter1 | Guest33889, i wouldn't rely on it for several months, and the performance won't be nearly as good as a hdd | 14:13 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33455, lubuntu | 14:13 |
| Guest33889 | thankx cfhowlett | 14:13 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33889, happy2help! | 14:13 |
| Guest33889 | not several .. maybe 2 or 3 months | 14:13 |
| Guest33889 | btw, my nickname is pedrodias | 14:14 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, why even the full Ubuntu, is only 900MB or so the smallest pendrive is about 16GB | 14:14 |
| Guest33889 | but im on a trial xubuntu i had lying around | 14:14 |
| teward | nrdb: they still make 2/4/8 GB drives - consider that in your assessment | 14:14 |
| carter1 | guest33889, you really should have both an ssd and a hdd in your computer, since you don't want a swap partition on your ssd | 14:14 |
| carter1 | so you could just install linux on a hdd and move it to an ssd when you can afford one | 14:15 |
| nrdb | teward, I am not doing anything here. | 14:15 |
| Guest33889 | carter1, that is the ideal situation, but cant afford it now | 14:15 |
| Guest33889 | and it just died .. this is a makeshift solution | 14:15 |
| mekhami | is there something like OS X's Spectacle app for Ubuntu? Easy window tiling keyboard shortcut type stuff | 14:15 |
| somsip | mekhami: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager#List_of_tiling_window_managers_for_X | 14:16 |
| teward | nrdb: [2015-03-23 10:14:18] <nrdb> Guest33889, why even the full Ubuntu, is only 900MB or so the smallest pendrive is about 16GB <-- i only saw that, sorry | 14:16 |
| Guest33889 | i guess im going to run and buy a 16gb or 32gb pen drive ... and install a fresh xubuntu | 14:16 |
| Guest33889 | or lubuntu | 14:17 |
| pbx | mekhami, fwiw i use compiz grid shortcuts for that (having gotten attached to divvy on os x) | 14:17 |
| Guest33889 | is the lubuntu release very poor compared | 14:17 |
| trijntje | mekhami: unity can do some of that by default, use ctrl + alt + numpad to place windows in a grid | 14:17 |
| cfhowlett | !lubuntu | Guest33889, yes | 14:18 |
| ubottu | Guest33889, yes: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 14:18 |
| Guest33889 | ok, the pc is veryyyy old | 14:18 |
| Guest33889 | 1gb ram | 14:18 |
| mekhami | trijntje, how can i make this play nice with a single monitor? | 14:18 |
| Guest33889 | and 3.0 intel p4 | 14:18 |
| Guest33889 | so i guess ill stay with xubuntu that was good | 14:18 |
| trijntje | mekhami: I use compiz on a single monitor, it works fine | 14:18 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33889, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware | 14:18 |
| mekhami | trijntje, sorry i meant multiple monitors... have yet to have coffee this morning.. | 14:19 |
| Guest33889 | what do you mean legacy _ im portuguese btw | 14:19 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, as a note you might be able to use a second usb pendrive as a swap, it might be a good idea to change it even year or two. | 14:19 |
| carter1 | that's a really good idea nrdb | 14:19 |
| cfhowlett | Guest33889, Legacy = "old" | 14:19 |
| Guest33889 | ohh ok cfhowlett | 14:19 |
| Guest33889 | thx | 14:19 |
| Guest33889 | it is really legacy then, lol | 14:20 |
| Guest33889 | a Dell GX620 | 14:20 |
| trijntje | mekhami: it should work 'per monitor', so if a program is on monitor 1 pressing cltr + alt +num 6 will put the window on the right half of the current monitor | 14:20 |
| trijntje | mekhami: I dont know a shortcut to move windows to the other monitor, I ususally use windows + S and drag them | 14:20 |
| Guest33889 | nrdb, what you explained to me was, that i can have a hdd ... and put the swap on the usb drive ... but since it will have lots of writing, it will deteriorate in a year or 2 _ | 14:22 |
| mekhami | trijntje, my commands like that are moving across monitors | 14:22 |
| toromus | Hey guys, I'm reacquainting myself with Linux and need to re-learn a lot of basics (such as CLI, application/package installation, etc). Are there any interactive "courses" or tutorials that are free and relevant? | 14:22 |
| cfhowlett | toromus, library "linux for dummies" | 14:23 |
| Guest33889 | lol cfhowlett | 14:23 |
| cfhowlett | !manul | toromus, | 14:23 |
| cfhowlett | !manual | 14:23 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 14:23 |
| trijntje | mekhami: I'm on single monitor now so I cant check, but I cant remember ever having trouble with that, which version of ubuntu are you on? I'm on 14.04 | 14:23 |
| toromus | Thank you, ubottu! | 14:24 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, I was thinking if you where running off a USB drive, you might put the swap somewhere else... as swap could were out a flash drive quickly. | 14:24 |
| Guest33889 | yeah yeah, i get it | 14:24 |
| mekhami | same trijntje | 14:24 |
| Guest33889 | nrdb, maybe that was what wore out the card | 14:25 |
| toromus | I want to learn to write my own code. I'm familiar with HTML/CSS and can identify generally what Java code is supposed to "do", but it was suggested to me that I learn Python first and Linux seems to be the appropriate platform. Is Python a good place to start? | 14:25 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, Maybe, quite possible, As you don't have much RAM you will most likely need a swap. | 14:25 |
| Guest33889 | oh well...i guess ill get a 32gb pendrive | 14:25 |
| carter1 | guest33889, that's why i suggested you not run it on a single ssd, as you'll wear out your ssd more quickly | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | toromus, python + django = most websites | 14:26 |
| trijntje | toromus: it depends what you want to code for, but in general python is a pretty good place to start programming | 14:26 |
| Guest33889 | yeah yeah carter1 i understand that | 14:26 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, anything will do, you don't need much memory for the OS. | 14:26 |
| Sparasite | Does Kubuntu has KDE Plasma? | 14:26 |
| cfhowlett | Sparasite, yes | 14:26 |
| toromus | Basically, I just want to get my foot in the door. Learning syntax and how code is written. | 14:26 |
| Guest33889 | i have also a 80gb hdd ... but it has stuff in it, and i was unable to partition it to accomodate Xubuntu | 14:27 |
| Sparasite | Ok, thanks cfhowlett | 14:27 |
| thorie_ | toromus, have you heard of khan academy? | 14:27 |
| cfhowlett | Sparasite, happy2help! | 14:27 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, I picked up a whole load of 8GB drives a while back for a couple of dollars each. | 14:27 |
| Guest33889 | can i make a partition on a hdd without erasing stuff on it _ | 14:28 |
| Guest33889 | i cant even find my question mark, jssssus | 14:28 |
| toromus | No, I'm not familiar.. Will learning Python open the door for me to understand how other languages are written (relevant languages like Perl/PHP/Java)? | 14:28 |
| cfhowlett | toromus, there is a series of python tutorials collected here: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/tag/special/ | 14:28 |
| Guest33889 | even the keyboard is not right, lol | 14:28 |
| Sparasite | cfhowlett, so it works great with KDE & Konversation? | 14:29 |
| nrdb | Guest33889, should be doable, but I would make a backup first. | 14:29 |
| cfhowlett | Sparasite, kubuntu = ubuntu + kde. So anything KDE based should be very happy on kubuntu | 14:29 |
| thorie_ | toromus, as much as learning german will help you learn french later | 14:29 |
| toromus | lol nice | 14:30 |
| Guest33889 | can i get a SATA / USB cable somewhere , humm | 14:30 |
| toromus | maybe I should think about what I want to do with programming, then make a decision? Probably what I'll end up wanting to do will be web-based | 14:30 |
| Guest33889 | i have a sata hdd here , from my ps3 that went bye bye ... can i get a cable to connect it to usb guys | 14:31 |
| toromus | Guest33889; yes | 14:32 |
| Guest33889 | thanks toromus | 14:32 |
| cjohnson | I installed a newer libc6 package than 12.04 has in its repos, because I wanted to install a mosh package that depended on it. Now I want to remove that mosh and libc6 and go back to the one ubuntu provides. how can I do that? | 14:32 |
| toromus | Or if you have an External HDD, you can take it apart and switch out drives | 14:32 |
| Guest33889 | i dont have it | 14:32 |
| toromus | you can find one on Amazon for relatively cheap | 14:33 |
| cjohnson | when I try apt-get install --reinstall libc6 it gives unmet dependency errors claiming: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.16) but 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 is to be installed | 14:33 |
| Guest33889 | ill try to find a cable to do that ... and buy the usb drive | 14:33 |
| Guest33889 | off for a job interview | 14:33 |
| toromus | Should only be a few bucks, but if you go that route, be careful with your drive when it is operational. You don't want it falling off the desk while the disc is spinning | 14:33 |
| Guest33889 | wish me luck guys | 14:33 |
| toromus | Good luck, Guest33889! | 14:34 |
| Guest33889 | have fun, maybe ill be back later with all resolved | 14:34 |
| nrdb | I am getting the error "error processing package sudo (--configure)" "reinstall it before attempting configuration" how do I fix it. I tried to do 'apt-get remove sudo' (as root) but it didn't work. | 14:39 |
| cjohnson | How can I reinstall libc6 without having apt check for and remove dependencies? I don't want to have to reinstall 100 packages | 14:43 |

| daftykins | why do people keep using this Tor browser thing? it's based on like, Firefox 17 or something insane - riddled with security holes | 14:55 |
| Ntemis | hello | 14:55 |
| Julia7 | daftykins: Uhm... | 14:55 |
| Julia7 | To access .onion sites? | 14:55 |
| carter1 | Julia7, it's a script, so you're opening the script | 14:55 |
| carter1 | what you need to do is run it | 14:56 |
| daftykins | Julia7: read the second part of my sentence. it's unsafe. | 14:56 |
| Julia7 | carter1: How do I run it? | 14:56 |
| Ntemis | my server stop asking me for kernel updates after i clean up the old ones | 14:56 |
| carter1 | make sure you have the script set executable | 14:56 |
| Ntemis | how i fix this? | 14:56 |
| daftykins | Ntemis: check linux-generic is installed | 14:56 |
| Julia7 | daftykins: No, it's not. | 14:56 |
| carter1 | and then you can just do ./tor-start-browser from the command line | 14:56 |
| Julia7 | carter1: I need you to teach me how to make it executable. | 14:56 |
| daftykins | Julia7: hah, you have no idea :) nevermind then, enjoy | 14:56 |
| carter1 | sudo chmod 770 start-tor-browser | 14:56 |
| minimec | Julia7: probably the script is not executable -> 'chmod +x start-tor-browser' | 14:56 |
| carter1 | or that works too xD | 14:57 |
| Julia7 | Give me a minute. | 14:57 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: you don't double click it for it to run, it's a script | 14:57 |
| mekhami | are there any os-level system cleanup things i should be doing similar to Windows Disk Cleanup? My ubuntu install has gotten consistently slower over the last year | 14:58 |
| Julia7 | carter1: minimec: EriC^: How can I make it a clickable shortcut on my desktop? | 14:58 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: you don't need to chmod +x it, open a terminal type cd tor<tab> and hit enter then type ./start<tab> and hit enter | 14:58 |
| Ntemis | daftykins: linux-generic-lts-utopic is already the newest version | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | mekhami there's bleachbit and 3rd party apps, like Janitor in Ubuntu-Tweak | 14:58 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: you'll need to create a .desktop file | 14:58 |
| carter1 | hrm, i think i did that once Julia7, but it's been so long since i've used ubuntu as a gui i don't quite remember | 14:59 |
| carter1 | xD | 14:59 |
| Julia7 | carter1: Oh. :( | 14:59 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I wouldn't know how to do that! | 14:59 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: are you sure you need to use it in the first place? it would make your connection a lot slower | 14:59 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I need it to access .onion sites. | 14:59 |
| EriC^ | it has to jump across 4 servers i believe | 14:59 |
| EriC^ | ok | 14:59 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: first get it running as i said | 15:00 |
| Dvine | the onion is very funny site | 15:00 |
| carter1 | mekhami, go to a command line and type "top" | 15:00 |
| carter1 | it will give you a nice list of what's using up your cpu and ram | 15:00 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: as for the .desktop file, open a terminal and type cd /usr/share/applications , and type ls, then pick any .desktop file and make a copy using sudo cp <desktop file> <tor-desktop-file> | 15:01 |
| Kali_Yuga | is there an offtopic section? | 15:01 |
| cfhowlett | !ot | Kali_Yuga | 15:01 |
| bazhang | !ot | 15:01 |
| ubottu | Kali_Yuga: #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! | 15:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Kali_Yuga #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:01 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I give up. It's too complicated for me. | 15:02 |
| Kali_Yuga | thx | 15:02 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: then type sudo nano <tor-desktop-file> , and in the Exec= part type Exec=bash /home/<your user>/tor..../start-tor-browser | 15:02 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: it's really easy | 15:02 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: i'll make it easier but it's worthwhile to know how to make one, hold on | 15:03 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Not for me. I don't understand half of what you just typed. | 15:03 |
| carter1 | Julia7, you might benefit from an introductory book on linux or something then | 15:03 |
| Julia7 | carter1: Maybe. | 15:03 |
| Dvine | just RTFM | 15:03 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: make an empty document on your desktop and call it start-tor.desktop | 15:04 |
| bazhang | Dvine, not welcome here, ever | 15:04 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Done. | 15:04 |
| cfhowlett | Dvine, not helpful, not acceptable | 15:04 |
| Dvine | you r not supposed to read the man pages? | 15:04 |
| bazhang | Dvine, take the chit chat elsewhere NOT here | 15:04 |
| MonkeyDust | just checked: Tor uses firefox 36 (in ubuntu 15.04, on vmware) | 15:05 |
| Dvine | lol | 15:05 |
| daftykins | Ntemis: that's not what i said though (: | 15:05 |
| cjohnson | I'm trying to build mosh from source and when I ./configure it complains about "configure: error: cannot find protoc, the Protocol Buffers compiler". I've installed libprotobuf and libprotoc and every variant I can see (-dev, -lite, etc) and ./configure still can't find it. What am I missing? | 15:05 |
| Dvine | thats not nice | 15:05 |
| bazhang | Dvine, cut it out NOW | 15:05 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: open the file with gedit and paste this http://paste.ubuntu.com/10661367/ | 15:06 |
| EriC^ | modify the <your user>/tor-browser-blabla/start-tor-browser | 15:06 |
| * Dvine hacks it out | 15:06 | |
| EriC^ | make sure you get the right names for them all | 15:06 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: OMG! Now I can't open the .desktop file. | 15:06 |
| EriC^ | lol, how come? | 15:07 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I'm trying to right-click it, but it doesn't give me the option to open it in my text editor. | 15:07 |
| mflow | Any ideas what I get undefined reference to symbol 'dlclose@@GLIBC_2.2.5' ? | 15:08 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: double click it | 15:08 |
| Nikhil | when I press the file icon on taskbar it creates a new window instead of opening the previous window? | 15:08 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: hold on, try open with | 15:08 |
| Nikhil | how can I resolve it? | 15:08 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I could just drag it into the text editor. I got it working now. | 15:08 |
| EriC^ | ok cool | 15:09 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Now what? :P | 15:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Nikhil move the mouse over thz taskbar, then roll the mouse wheel | 15:09 |
| Nikhil | oh, I got it :) | 15:09 |
| Nikhil | thanks MonkeyDust :) | 15:09 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: paste the stuff from the link | 15:10 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I already did. | 15:10 |
| EriC^ | ok, save it and try to double click it | 15:10 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: "Untrusted application launcher"... | 15:10 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: try typing sudo cp ~/Desktop/start-tor.desktop /usr/share/applications/ | 15:13 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Done. | 15:13 |
| Julia7 | No errors. | 15:13 |
| EriC^ | ok, type nautilus /usr/share/applications | 15:14 |
| EriC^ | then try to double click it | 15:14 |
| mekhami | why can i not tab-complete dpkg -r <.deb file> | 15:14 |
| EriC^ | i think we have to have it launch in a terminal.. my bad.. | 15:15 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: It's not in there... | 15:15 |
| Julia7 | Oh? | 15:15 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: it should be there, look for TorBrowser | 15:15 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I'm dumb. XD | 15:15 |
| Julia7 | It's there. | 15:15 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: But nothing happens when I double-click it. | 15:16 |
| EriC^ | ok, type gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/start-tor.desktop | 15:16 |
| daftykins | mekhami: because that's not how you remove a .deb - you need to know the package's name - which is not its' file name | 15:17 |
| daftykins | mekhami: try "dpkg -l | grep <name of package>" | 15:17 |
| philip | am trying to install webmin but i get this:Package 'libauthen-pam-perl' has no installation candidate | 15:17 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: This is really, really weird. | 15:18 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: It wanted me to enter my admin password and told me that it was wrong like 4 times. | 15:18 |
| DJones | !webmin | philip | 15:18 |
| ubottu | philip: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:18 |
| philip | so how can i resolve them. | 15:19 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: It worked now. What do I do? | 15:19 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: ok cool | 15:19 |
| philip | cos am trying to restart my iptables | 15:19 |
| philip | but no command is wirking, i have tried service iptables restart | 15:20 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Phone. Be right back. | 15:20 |
| Ntemis | daftykins: fixed | 15:21 |
| daftykins | that's nice | 15:21 |
| daftykins | !ufw | philip | 15:21 |
| ubottu | philip: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 15:21 |
| teward | is there any way to get gnupg 2 in Ubuntu Trusty? | 15:24 |
| philip | mean i cant user webmin on ubuntu server anymore | 15:24 |
| cfhowlett | !webmin | philip, | 15:25 |
| ubottu | philip,: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 15:25 |
| cfhowlett | doh! djones is already on the case. sorry for repost | 15:25 |
| mustmodify | I need someone to help me reinstall my OS, preferably without the aide of a CD drive since my drive has apparently failed. | 15:25 |
| carter1 | mustmodify, just do a usb installer | 15:26 |
| RMJ | mustmodify - boot from a USB stick which you can create using startup disk creator in ubuntu | 15:26 |
| mustmodify | How big of a USB stick do I need? Do I just copy the files from the ISO to the stick? | 15:27 |
| MonkeyDust | mustmodify the iso is 1GB or so | 15:27 |
| RMJ | mustmodify - startup disk creator will create the bootable usb stick from the ISO - you can't just copy it across | 15:27 |
| daftykins | mustmodify: if you already have a Linux host, using 'sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" would be the best way to make up a flash drive | 15:28 |
| daftykins | bear in mind it'll wipe that drive | 15:28 |
| mustmodify | And FYI, ubuntu is currently running on the machine on which I want the system installed. I performed some unfortunate magic with apt-get yesterday and it's unlikely to get back to totally stable. So I bought a new drive and I want to install the OS on that, then delete the OS from the previous drive, so I can keep the data. | 15:28 |
| EckyEcky | I am connected with ssh to an ubuntu server and need to copy 2 folders to my local hard drive, is this possible with the command line? | 15:28 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: in case i get dc before you're back, make the line Exec=gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home/<your user>/tor...bla/star-tor-browser; bash'" it should launch it in a terminal and leave it open after it's done | 15:29 |
| mustmodify | ok I'll look for a 1.5+GB flash drive. | 15:29 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: if you're using xubuntu replace the terminal with xfce4-terminal etc. | 15:29 |

| sftp | hi guys. it's correct that package 'ubuntu-minimal' depends on 'rsyslog' package? i suppose it should depends on 'system-log-daemon' (i think it's correct approach because 'rsyslog' package as well as other syslog implementations do provide 'system-log-daemon') | 15:31 |

| stormchaser3000 | mcphail: yeah. of an open source project | 15:47 |
| EriC^ | Hanom1960: not really no | 15:47 |
| Hanom1960 | then? | 15:47 |
| zertyui | i would like to extract only the domain from that list possible ? | 15:47 |
| mcphail | stormchaser3000: it isn't easy to do properly. Are you compent at compiling the package itself? | 15:47 |
| mcphail | competent* | 15:48 |
| stormchaser3000 | yeah | 15:48 |
| mustmodify | RMJ: Any thoughts on which I should choose? | 15:48 |
| InHisName1 | When I do: sudo apt-get -f install I get request to add samba-libs then when it tries, I get errors (1) returned by the deb. I've changed printers and the old settings are useless. I'd just as soon purge samba and start all over for the new printer. | 15:48 |
| EriC^ | Hanom1960: helping Julia7 make a shortcut for it to launch, you're welcome to help | 15:48 |
| EriC^ | Julia7: there are 2 versions on the site, 32 and 64 bit | 15:48 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: I'm so far from done! Gah! ;( | 15:48 |
| mcphail | stormchaser3000: there is an excellent tutorial on the ubuntu or canonical webpages somewhere. I can't remember the link, but if you have a launchpad account click on "create a PPA" and follow the links. Takes you through the whole process | 15:49 |
| stormchaser3000 | i know how to compile the program. i just want to know how to compile the program to a .deb file to make ubuntu and debian builds of minetest-0.4.12 | 15:49 |
| cstk421 | if a machine is connected to an internet connection via wireless and also is connected to a pc via ethernet for ssh access what would cause it not to be able to access the internet via the wireless connection ? | 15:49 |

| minimec | stormchaser3000: Follow that guide... http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html | 15:50 |
| Hanom1960 | Mmmm I see | 15:50 |
| mcphail | stormchaser3000: the alternative is to use "checkinstall" but the .debs it creates would never be accepted into deian/ubuntu | 15:50 |
| Julia7 | EriC^: Hanom1960: I give up for now. My head is hurting. | 15:50 |

| boriseto | Hi, any idea how to remove the software that was installed from a repo and revert it to the original without ppa-purge, because the repo doesn't exist anymore? | 15:51 |
| LeelooGirlOnline | apt -get update? | 15:51 |
| Mr_KaShAnA | (·_·)«= | 15:51 |
| noobUser | Hi people i have problem with programs, from ubuntu software center, using wxWidgets, every inputbox freezes when i press special chars (like backspace) | 15:51 |
| mustmodify | and ruby-install | 15:51 |
| noobUser | please save me | 15:51 |
| Hanom1960 | apt-get install ruby-full | 15:52 |
| Hanom1960 | or | 15:52 |
| Hanom1960 | yum install ruby | 15:52 |
| mcphail | boriseto: is it a single package, or did it bring in a lot of other packages with it? | 15:52 |
| soee | mustmodify: thers nosuch package | 15:52 |
| The-Compiler | What do I need to be able to launch 32bit executables? ldd just says "not a dynamic executable" and trying to launch it via ./ gives me "No such file or directory" | 15:53 |
| OerHeks | soee, not without ppa like brightbox https://launchpad.net/~brightbox/+archive/ubuntu/ruby-ng | 15:53 |
| The-Compiler | (on a 64bit-system that is) | 15:53 |
| soee | uhm | 15:53 |
| carter1 | for ruby, i would install RVM and then install the latest version | 15:53 |
| boriseto | mcphail, I think it brought a few more packages with it. It was the official intel driver if it's a needed info. | 15:53 |
| carter1 | sudo apt-get install rvm | 15:54 |
| mcphail | boriseto: your chance of rolling that back cleanly is minimal without ppa-purge... | 15:54 |
| carter1 | sudo rvm install ruby | 15:54 |
| carter1 | iirc | 15:54 |
| Hanom1960 | soee | 15:55 |
| Hanom1960 | sudo apt-get install ruby 2.2.1 | 15:55 |
| mcphail | boriseto: you can run "apt-cache policy packagename" to see which versions are available and then "apt-get install packagname=version" to downgrade but you might end up with lots of broken dependencies. That's why PPAs can't be formally supported | 15:55 |
| Hanom1960 | Is the latest version | 15:55 |
| The-Compiler | ah, libc6-i386 was what I needed :) | 15:56 |
| lmkone | is there a way to change module driver for specific ethernet device ? | 15:56 |
| carter1 | Hanom1960, you can do that, but when you have ruby, it's nice to be able to switch between versions easily, which is why I recommended rvm. | 15:56 |
| OerHeks | Hanom1960, wrong solution, as 2.1.1 is not in the repos | 15:56 |
| Hanom1960 | mmm, i install it version in Parrot Sec Os | 15:57 |
| soee | Hanom1960: it is not vailable in archive i think | 15:57 |
| carter1 | oh, apparently you can't xD | 15:57 |
| OerHeks | Hanom1960, please do not mix other OS solutions with ubuntu, this is confusing | 15:57 |
| Hanom1960 | jajjaajajaj | 15:57 |
| carter1 | soee, did you try sudo apt-get install rvm | 15:57 |
| noobUser | Hi people i have a problem with every program using wxWidgets, when i press special chars(like backspace) the inputbox freezes, and i-bus eat all resources | 15:57 |
| noobUser | please save me | 15:58 |
| soee | carter1: E: Unable to locate package rvm | 15:59 |
| minimec | lmkone: Yes. You can for example block the driver that is used now in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then put a different one in /etc/modules | 15:59 |
| carter1 | soee, sorry, you have to install some stuff to get it | 16:00 |
| carter1 | sudo apt-get update | 16:00 |
| carter1 | sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core curl libmysqlclient18 nodejs | 16:00 |
| carter1 | actually, here's the website i was using to do it | 16:00 |
| carter1 | http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/install-ruby-2-1-0-and-ruby-on-rails-4-0-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ | 16:00 |
| carter1 | i did something like that to get it going on my box | 16:01 |
| lmkone | thanks minimec - i have tried to blacklist specific driver in blacklist, but after a reboot it is still being used by a nic | 16:04 |
| boriseto | mcphail, ty | 16:07 |
| minimec | lmkone: Try to find the module dependencies with 'modinfo yourdriver' and blacklist them all, hoping that you blacklisted not too muxh... ;) | 16:07 |

| noobUser | people please save me! When i press special chars, into every program using wxWidgets's textbox, the input freezes, and i-bus eats all resources | 16:10 |
| lmkone | minimec : any other way to switch / force drivers without the need to blacklist some modules | 16:10 |
| === satan is now known as Guest17650 | ||
| Kali_Yuga | that didn't happen with the noveau driver | 16:11 |
| minimec | lmkone: Well you can always 'rmmod' the module and 'modprobe' the new one manually after boot. | 16:11 |
| mcphail | noobUser: what is your native language? | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | noobUser not sure if anyone of us uses widgets | 16:12 |
| noobUser | italian, using italian layout, but eng as default language | 16:12 |
| minimec | lmkone: Maybe it's enough to configure the existing driver. Normally these drivers have some options, that you can put in /etc/modprobe.d/yourdirver.conf | 16:12 |
| noobUser | i mean programs from ubuntu software center | 16:12 |
| mcphail | noobUser: i think there is an option somewhere to change the SCIM method from ibus to something else. Not at an ubuntu box to check just now, though | 16:13 |
| Kali_Yuga | ok I look there 1mom | 16:13 |
| noobUser | i think the problem is related with programs using wxWidgets, every other program runs perfectly | 16:14 |
| Kali_Yuga | nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf? | 16:14 |
| RMJ | hi all, finding that my laptop restarts instead of shutting down - only just started doing this just now but it seems repeated, happens whether I shut down through GUI or terminal. | 16:14 |

| lmkone | minimec : i will take a step back - i think i am having some problems with igb module (connection is getting limited to localhost and local ip only after some time, unable to ping or communicate with anything on the subnet) - was thinking to try with more generic e1000 driver to check if that helps in any way.. are any of you guys aware of a known issue with this driver module? | 16:15 |
| Asm0dean | hello | 16:16 |
| minimec | lmkone: regarding 'step back': experience with that driver. | 16:16 |
| minimec | lmkone: Did you run 'depmod' after you blacklisted the driver. Maybe 'sudo depmod -a' helps. | 16:16 |
| minimec | lmkone: No experience... | 16:17 |
| noobUser | oohh finally i've found the problem, by default were active 2 input methods | 16:18 |
| noobUser | tnk for the hint | 16:19 |
| falcom | Can CURL be used to download from any ftp server? It seems like it fails to do it for this remote ftp server( always timeout) | 16:19 |

| OerHeks | Does one ask to play andorid games on IOS too? | 16:26 |
| LeelooGirlOnline | or ask the developer to release Linux version | 16:26 |
| ChunkzZ1 | no need to be funny OerHeks | 16:26 |
| ChunkzZ1 | simple question, I was hoping for a simple answer. | 16:27 |
| baum | hence even my phone got an android emulator.... | 16:27 |
| mcphail | yxa: you can, of course, install an upstream kernel (and headers) quite easily. Type "/msg ubottu kernel" for help | 16:27 |
| OerHeks | Chbest answer came from cfhowlett | 16:27 |
| LeelooGirlOnline | the easiest way should be to bug a phone | 16:28 |

| baum | or just type "telnet www.ateraan.com 4002" into your favorite console... | 16:29 |
| minimec | lmkone: you mean, they would both use the same driver or driver family normally? The only way I see is with a /etc/modprobe.d/yourdriver.conf. You will have to search the net for possible options. | 16:29 |
| LeelooGirlOnline | it should be a hardware issue.. | 16:29 |
| OerHeks | RMJ, seems like an ACPI setting in your bios | 16:30 |
| RMJ | OerHeks - thanks. it's a new problem so what might have caused the change? | 16:30 |
| LeelooGirlOnline | it is not a problem with ubuntu | 16:30 |

| carter1 | AssassinsMod, i've run both, there's not a lot of difference, it's mostly just visual | 16:34 |
| carter1 | try them both out and see what you like the best | 16:35 |
| OerHeks | AssassinsMod, mint is not supported here. choose ubuntu! | 16:35 |
| AssassinsMod | OerHeks, that solves it then! | 16:36 |
| Joel | Trying to automate kernel upgrade, how can I tell apt-get to use the package maintainer's menu.lst ? | 16:36 |
| Joel | instead of prompting | 16:36 |
| OerHeks | ubuntu offers mate-desktop too, so no need to switch | 16:36 |
| AssassinsMod | mate is the evolution of gnome? | 16:37 |
| ppf | mate is a gnome2 fork | 16:37 |
| OerHeks | mate is gnome2 look on gnome3 | 16:37 |
| AssassinsMod | isn't ubuntu given out with unity or something like that? | 16:38 |
| ppf | yes | 16:39 |
| baum | AssassinsMod: there is also Kubuntu, Lubuntu and so on... | 16:39 |
| k1l_ | mate is not gnome3. cinnamon is gnome3 | 16:39 |
| AssassinsMod | now i'm lost | 16:40 |
| AssassinsMod | what's Ubuntu Developer Tools Centre ? | 16:41 |
| ppf | i believe it's called make now | 16:42 |
| RMJ | OerHeks - tried acpi=off in GRUB but just disabled wifi, didn't seem to fix the problem of the reboots sadly | 16:42 |
| ppf | it's supposed to allow "easy installation" of frequently used developer tools | 16:42 |
| ppf | which is to say, android studio and eclipse | 16:43 |
| carter1 | RMJ, boot into your bios and see if there's an option to restart automatically that got switched on | 16:43 |
| AssassinsMod | those brackets don't bode well | 16:43 |
| carter1 | AssassinsMod, you're not a developer though, so it's not a big deal | 16:43 |
| RMJ | carter1 - already had a look in there, no there's nothing like that. The only thing I tried wwas turning secure boot off instead of on, but it didn't seem to make any difference | 16:43 |
| carter1 | hrm, that's really weird | 16:44 |
| Joel | Is there a way to tell apt-get to re-install a package? | 16:44 |
| AssassinsMod | carter1, if you say so | 16:44 |
| mustmodify | I just I'm confused. I want my ubuntu machine's terminal to show a few browser windows that I can use as a dashboard. I can't do it straight from the terminal because there's no display ... I don't want to install a huge GUI just for a browser window. Do I just need some kind of very-light GUI? Is there a simpler solution? | 16:44 |
| Fuchs | Joel: yes, apt-get install --reinstall package | 16:44 |
| Fuchs | Joel: why, though? | 16:44 |
| Joel | Fuchs, menu.lst didn't get updated to use the package maintainer's version. | 16:45 |
| baum | AssassinsMod: just stick to vim, it works like charm :) | 16:45 |
| Joel | Fuchs, passing in -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" as well | 16:45 |
| Fuchs | Joel: hm, you can try the re-install, I guess. | 16:45 |
| AssassinsMod | does even change anything from 14.04 to 14.04.2? | 16:46 |
| k1l_ | AssassinsMod: think of that like the "servicepacks" on windows | 16:47 |
| RMJ | all i'm getting now is a freeze on shutdown at wait-for-state stop/waiting | 16:47 |
| AssassinsMod | k1l_, then updating through update manager/shell = installing the new version? | 16:47 |
| k1l_ | AssassinsMod: if you install a 14.04 and do all the updates you will get a 14.04.2 anyway. but going for 14.04.2 in the beginning saves you the updates after install and it ships a more recent kernel | 16:48 |
| Joel | Fuchs, sadly, that didn't seem to work as I expected :\ | 16:48 |
| k1l_ | AssassinsMod: its just a "point release". not a new version. | 16:48 |
| AssassinsMod | k1l_, i have installed in dual-boot ubuntu 14.04 that's why i'm asking | 16:48 |
| k1l_ | AssassinsMod: just run the updates. that will bring you to 14.04.2 | 16:49 |
| ppf | and beyond! | 16:49 |
| AssassinsMod | what's the best(?) desktop environmend (or the one you prefer)? | 16:50 |
| k1l_ | AssassinsMod: just choose yourself. if you ask 4 guys you get 5 answers | 16:50 |
| AssassinsMod | i know gnome, kde, cinnamon and unity (though only their name), can changing ti create issues? | 16:51 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu can handle several desktop at once. just choose what to be used on the login screen | 16:52 |
| RMJ | ok my problem just fixed itself. one of those best-not-ask-why issues. thanks for the assistance carter1 & OerHeks | 16:53 |
| AssassinsMod | k1l_, thats kind of awesome... | 16:53 |
| andybrine | im having a hard time installing wine in ubuntu 14.10 | 16:55 |
| andybrine | have unmet dependancies and it says there are broken packages | 16:55 |
| andybrine | has anyone else had problems installing wine in 14.10? | 16:56 |
| SchrodingersScat | !ask | andybrine | 16:56 |
| ubottu | andybrine: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:56 |
| andybrine | thanks SchrodingersScat, thats the question | 16:57 |
| andybrine | Do you know how to install wine in ubuntu 14.10? | 16:57 |
| xangua | sudo apt-get install wine | 16:58 |
| andybrine | this is the error i am facing wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.38-0ubuntu1) | 16:59 |

| julian-delphiki | andybrine: sounds like you're 'holding' packages. | 17:00 |
| andybrine | holding packages? | 17:00 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" in a pastebin please. | 17:00 |
| andybrine | there is no output from that command jullian | 17:01 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: okay, how about the output of "dpkg -l | grep ^h" | 17:02 |
| andybrine | there is no output from that either | 17:03 |
| === skcin7_ is now known as skcin7 | ||
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: okay, and you' | 17:03 |
| julian-delphiki | ve done an 'apt-get update' before trying to install? | 17:03 |
| alex-k | join #ubuntu-devel | 17:03 |
| Kali_Yuga | Does somebody uses PlayOnLinux? | 17:03 |
| andybrine | yea, I have done that | 17:03 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: have you tried a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" first? | 17:04 |
| Kali_Yuga | If yes how can I access Winetricks in a Virtual Hard Drive in PlayonLinux??? | 17:04 |
| andybrine | I will run it again now | 17:05 |
| Kali_Yuga | I dont see it?? | 17:05 |
| andybrine | still getting that error | 17:05 |
| andybrine | Do you think I may have a repo missing? | 17:07 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: it's possible.... | 17:07 |
| julian-delphiki | Kali_Yuga: you don't need winetricks on POL | 17:07 |
| andybrine | thanks for your help julian-delphiki, if it helps I did upgrade from 14.04 | 17:08 |

| jq- | How could I output only the current cpu usage in terminal? | 17:11 |
| olen | the command "top" i guess | 17:11 |
| julian-delphiki | jq-: there are multiple commands. What sort of output are you wanting. | 17:11 |
| julian-delphiki | 'top' is a common one (ctrl-c to exit) | 17:11 |
| jq- | julian-delphiki: I know about top. I just want to output only a percentage though. | 17:12 |
| julian-delphiki | there's also 'w' which shows the load average and what users are logged in | 17:12 |
| andybrine | thank julian, thats what is strange I have no packages to fix | 17:12 |
| andybrine | it just says I have broken packages | 17:12 |
| qwe__ | sup, soo I forgot the name of the program i wanna run, its something easy just cant remember... It opens a tunnel for a quick shell between 2 nodes, like temporary ssh server, anybody know what im talking about? | 17:12 |
| ppf | did you run the commands at the bottom of th thread? | 17:12 |
| andybrine | im going to do a reboot brb | 17:12 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: odd... try `apt-get -f install && dpkg --configure -a` | 17:13 |
| olen | I am trying to completly remove Plex but i can not delete the user plex (userdel: user plex is currently used by process 760) and i can't kill the prossess anyone know how i can fix this? | 17:13 |
| julian-delphiki | qwe__: netcat? | 17:13 |
| julian-delphiki | olen: `sudo kill -9 760` | 17:13 |
| qwe__ | sounds familiar, probably, ty | 17:13 |
| julian-delphiki | and then try again | 17:13 |
| qwe__ | u the real mvpp | 17:13 |
| andybrine | im back | 17:16 |
| julian-delphiki | andybrine: okay, try `dpkg --configure -a` and `apt-get -f install` | 17:16 |

| BarnacleBob | i'm having trouble figuring out whats causing a package not to upgrade on my machine. this is the output from apt-cache policy https://gist.github.com/BarnacleBob/2e4213ace407c5625eab for some reason it just wont consider the new version for install | 17:17 |
| trism | andybrine: is the above output the full output of apt-get install wine1.7; or did you leave out some lines? | 17:17 |
| julian-delphiki | olen: I'm imagining there's like a service you need to stop. "sudo service plexmediaserver stop" | 17:18 |
| julian-delphiki | and then try removing the user and packages. | 17:18 |
| andybrine | I will create a pastebin for the output | 17:18 |
| olen | go the output sudo service plexmediaserver stop | 17:19 |
| olen | stop: Unknown instance: | 17:19 |
| olen | Same output from userdel | 17:19 |
| andybrine | here is my full output: http://pastebin.com/WMY4Mh7f | 17:20 |
| andybrine | i personally think I have a broken install of ubuntu | 17:20 |
| ppf | andybrine: did you run the things at the end of the SO thread julian copied you? | 17:20 |
| trism | andybrine: pastebin: apt-cache policy wine1.7 wine1.7-i386; | 17:21 |
| andybrine | yea, I did run them both and got no output | 17:21 |
| ppf | both? there were like 6 or so | 17:21 |
| julian-delphiki | olen: hmm maybe it's a different name. I'm not sure what the service name would be | 17:22 |
| genii | !info wine1.7 | 17:22 |
| ubottu | Package wine1.7 does not exist in utopic | 17:22 |
| genii | Hm | 17:22 |
| andybrine | I have run all the commands ppf | 17:22 |
| olen | <julian-delphiki>: i think its correct, when i do sudo service plex tab tab i get it so | 17:22 |
| andybrine | I upgraded from 14.-04 last night and have some other small errors as well | 17:23 |
| andybrine | everytime I change my shell theme and reboot, it goes back to the standard theme | 17:23 |
| andybrine | totally different than wine but think the upgrade skrewed something up | 17:24 |
| julian-delphiki | olen: have you tried rebooting? | 17:24 |
| olen | ye but found out how i could remove it | 17:25 |
| andybrine | Do you think its worth running a fresh install? | 17:25 |
| ppf | what's the result of for the policy query? | 17:26 |
| andybrine | heres the result of the policyL | 17:27 |
| andybrine | : http://pastebin.com/DrS58tTR | 17:27 |
| trism | andybrine: alright so it's there, what errors do you get if you try to: sudo apt-get install wine1.7-i386:i386; | 17:28 |
| andybrine | that works I think | 17:29 |
| andybrine | I have an unmet dependancy of libsane but I can install that I think | 17:30 |
| trism | andybrine: can you pastebin it? | 17:30 |
| Bumblefluff | !pastebinit | 17:30 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:30 |
| andybrine | Here is the pastebin from the last command: http://pastebin.com/JLEK9p6y | 17:31 |
| trism | andybrine: getting somewhere, libsane isn't the issue it is only recommend, try: sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-6:i386; see what you get, don't continue if it tries to remove anything | 17:32 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest31376 | ||
| andybrine | still getting errors trism | 17:33 |
| andybrine | I will pastbin it again | 17:34 |
| trism | andybrine: yes what are they? | 17:34 |
| andybrine | Here it is: http://pastebin.com/WV0nLUDy | 17:35 |
| andybrine | I just dont see why I have to jump through soo many hoops to install wine | 17:35 |
| ppf | andybrine: what is your architecture? i386? | 17:35 |
| andybrine | it installed perfectly in 14.04 | 17:35 |
| andybrine | im ob 64bit | 17:35 |
| trism | andybrine: you have an issue with the i386 packages somewhere, got to track it down | 17:35 |
| trism | andybrine: try: sudo apt-get install libgd3:i386; if we get stuck on another similar error there is another command we can try to get better info | 17:36 |
| trism | andybrine: usually it is easier to just follow the path of broken packages than search through the debug info | 17:36 |
| ppf | dpkg --print-foreign-architectures | 17:37 |
| trism | ppf: he already has the i386 arch that isn't helping | 17:37 |
| genii | andybrine: For one thing, you must have active PPA or such since you're trying to install wine 1.7 which isn't in the repos. No wonder you're in dependency hell. | 17:37 |
| andybrine | thats my latest pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uWenQxjn | 17:37 |

| trism | andybrine: yeah that's fine we want to go back to the repo version | 17:53 |
| andybrine | ok, here goes! :) | 17:53 |
| andybrine | Its installed now | 17:53 |
| hellyeah | any answer | 17:53 |
| andybrine | shall I try and install wine again | 17:54 |
| trism | andybrine: now try: sudo apt-get install wine1.7; again | 17:54 |
| trism | andybrine: yeah | 17:54 |
| rockstar_ | ioria: did it. It is still trying to connect | 17:54 |
| andybrine | trism!!!! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!! | 17:54 |
| andybrine | Thats installed now :) | 17:54 |
| trism | andybrine: excellent | 17:54 |
| andybrine | well it is installing | 17:55 |
| genii | Joel: Why would it want to be using old Grub1 menu.lst when Ubuntu uses GRUB2 ? | 17:55 |
| andybrine | another quick question | 17:55 |
| andybrine | this may be part of the cause | 17:55 |
| andybrine | in synaptic I check repos and all the old repos say disabled from upgrade | 17:56 |
| andybrine | yet I have enabled them | 17:56 |
| ioria | rockstar_, iwconfig is ok ' | 17:56 |
| ioria | ? | 17:56 |
| andybrine | I am concidering removing old repos and reinstalling them | 17:56 |
| genii | andybrine: They will have been backed up to files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory with extension of .save | 17:57 |
| rockstar_ | ioria: I'm not very experienced with ubuntu. How do I check if iwconfig is ok? | 17:57 |
| andybrine | yeah | 17:57 |
| andybrine | thanks genii :) | 17:57 |
| andybrine | Wine is not installed! | 17:57 |
| Joel | genii, without the menu.lst the instances don't boot, no idea why. | 17:58 |
| andybrine | I dont know how you did it trism but that was awesome! | 17:58 |
| rockstar_ | ioria: ok I just did iwconfig. It says no wireless extensions. but one wlan0 | 17:58 |
| genii | andybrine: Add them back in one by one with sudo-add-apt-repository, install whatevers needed, go on to the next one like this, etc. If you get a problemmatic one, leave it for the time being. | 17:58 |
| genii | Joel: Must be some End-Of-Life version you are running. | 17:58 |
| ioria | rockstar_, your wireless is not configured or it's not recognized | 17:58 |
| trism | andybrine: it's usually the same sort of issue of an old/disabled ppa package that conflicts with another, it's just tricky to find them sometimes | 17:59 |
| genii | ( either that or it was continuously upgraded from a GRUB 1 booting system and never got GRUB 2 installed ) | 17:59 |
| rockstar_ | ioria: my wifi works in home though. How can I fix/configure it? | 17:59 |
| d4g0n | hi | 18:00 |
| ioria | rockstar_, is it working at home ... with you router ? | 18:00 |
| rockstar_ | ioria: yap, it is working perfectly in home wifi | 18:00 |
| andybrine | yea, thats good | 18:01 |
| andybrine | Im going to remove all my ppas and add them again | 18:01 |
| andybrine | yppa manager should sort that (If I can install it) lol | 18:01 |
| ioria | rockstar_, ifconfig ? | 18:02 |
| andybrine | is there a way to remove all old ppas? | 18:06 |

| ubottu | andybrine: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 18:07 |
| andybrine | I was looking at removing multiple ppas at once | 18:08 |
| Joel | genii, I know the grub2 is marked as a beta version | 18:17 |
| Joel | genii, grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1 | 18:17 |
| === qwerty is now known as Guest90386 | ||
| mackie | What exactly does xbindkeys do, and how? | 18:19 |
| genii | Joel: Apologies on lag as I am back and forth from my computer as work requires me. You would be best to go to GRUB 2, yes | 18:19 |
| Joel | genii, is that not grub2? | 18:19 |
| genii | !info grub2 | 18:20 |

| Joel | genii, interesting | 18:22 |
| Joel | genii, these are machines in AWS, I wonder if it has something to do with how they launch them? | 18:22 |
| genii | Hm | 18:22 |
| Joel | genii, I rm'd /boot/grub/menu.lst on an instance, rebooted it, and the machine was stuck at grub> | 18:23 |
| Joel | It's not a huge deal, I'm able to work around it. | 18:23 |
| genii | Joel: GRUB2 uses instead /etc/default/grub file, you edit that then rebuild grub and initramfs with sudo update-grub and sudo update-initramfs -u | 18:24 |

| Guest3030 | hi | 19:18 |
| shreezbot | daftykins, I was considering owncloud! Have you used it by chance? | 19:18 |
| daftykins | shreezbot: nope but seen others using it and linking to their own setups for pics etc | 19:18 |
| shreezbot | daftykins, Nice! I might give that a shot! Thanks for the info! :) | 19:19 |
| daftykins | shreezbot: i figure in most cases the required fees for having a static IP wouldn't be far off the fees for a decent capacity with dropbox and the like | 19:19 |
| daftykins | not sure how well owncloud would work with a dynamic DNS service you see | 19:19 |
| shreezbot | daftykins, I have a DNS entry with dynamic DNS that will update if it detects my address change. | 19:20 |

| ojwop | the links I found on lenovo support pages have not been supporting of linux | 19:20 |
| daftykins | shreezbot: yeah, you might get things being a teensy bit unreliable with that though depending on how quickly changes propogate to your other users etc. - you'll just have to see :) | 19:20 |
| bazhang | !torrents | ojwop | 19:20 |
| ubottu | ojwop: Utopic can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/utopic/desktop/ubuntu-14.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/utopic/server/ubuntu-14.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your needs. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 | 19:20 |
| daftykins | ojwop: this is not our responsibility i'm afraid. you may need to install Windows to update the BIOS. | 19:21 |
| shreezbot | daftykins, Worst case scenario, I have a dedicated server in the cloud that has a static IP that I can run it from. | 19:22 |
| jhutchins | The only ISP I've known who forces IP changes is telmex down in Mexico. There are several free dynamic DNS services that will keep your IP up to date even if it changes often. A home based server's very practical, but you have to be security concious and not do something like an open anonymous ftp server. | 19:22 |

| shreezbot | daftykins, I just have to find a good way to sync folders between my server at home and server in the cloud. rsync is probably the best option, but I have no clue how to use it. | 19:23 |
| ojwop | daftykins, it is stated here (under Lenovo) that the iso file will do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate but the iso file I found mentions windows support only: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds002212 | 19:23 |
| fedorafan | lol | 19:24 |
| daftykins | shreezbot: "rsync -av /path/here /path/there/" :D | 19:24 |
| ojwop | therefore asked here maybe someone can clarify | 19:24 |
| daftykins | ojwop: it doesn't matter then, download it, burn it or throw it on a flash drive - and then boot from it | 19:25 |
| daftykins | it's OS independant, just happens to be labelled up as Windows because Lenovo. | 19:25 |

| shreezbot | daftykins, I'm guessing it gets a bit more complicated if you are syncing over the internet though... :) | 19:28 |
| daftykins | shreezbot: well you'd probably want to mount the remote file system over SSHfs or some such | 19:28 |

| sta7ic | i cant believe the mini.iso has such a overlooked bug. basically when you boot it from a usb stick (which is /dev/sda) and then at the end when it installs grub, it doesnt install it to the hard drive device, it installs it to /dev/sda which is the usb device it booted from....duh! | 20:17 |
| sta7ic | but it sure does tell you its going to install MBR to the first hard disk and just assumes that its /dev/sda and doesnt give you the option to choose anything else.. | 20:17 |
| Lachezar | Hey all. I have a problem with gpg-agent: it breaks ssh-agent. How can I have gnupg-2 without the gpg-agent? | 20:18 |
| sta7ic | So not only does it ruin the install, but it also ruins your usb image | 20:18 |
| bprompt | sta7ic: hmm I've not used mini.iso myself... but I usually do a "manual" install from the screen, and at the bottom, it has a section of where to install the bootloader, often times the installer picks up automatically the usb-device..yes.. but all you have to do is pick the one you need from the pulldown list | 20:18 |
| genii | sta7ic: The hard drive order is dependent on your motherboard and bios. On most modern systems when you set the computer to boot from USB it still isn't the sda, the internal drives are. | 20:19 |
| genii | ( so it's idiosyncratic) | 20:19 |
| usewy | hi all.I have a question this is: | 20:19 |
| sta7ic | bprompt, i am not seeing an option to change the device.. | 20:19 |
| usewy | we have a some numbers, we have to divide this numbers into two group which difference between these two groups be minimum. for example if n=3, we have three numbers, for example: 4,5,10. for this example, answer is 4,5__10 because 4+5=9 (first group) and second group is 10. and difference between them are 10-9=1 ...now, I have to write a program with C++ language for this job. is there any body help me. thanks alot. best regards | 20:19 |
| ObrienDave | sta7ic, because you're not looking | 20:20 |
| Pici | usewy: as I stated earlier, #ubuntu is not a place for programming questions. Did you ask in ##programming or ##C++ ? | 20:20 |
| genii | usewy: That's not really an Ubuntu support question | 20:20 |
| sta7ic | genii, thanks for stating the obvious... the sun is larger than the moon... | 20:20 |
| usewy | if answer thanks | 20:20 |
| bprompt | sta7ic: may well be the case in mini.iso... haven't used it myself, thus | 20:21 |
| sta7ic | ObrienDave, im going to double check, you sure its in the mini.iso? | 20:22 |
| daan38 | my name is Danny | 20:22 |
| ObrienDave | sta7ic, i'm sure you're complaining rather than looking for the proper option | 20:23 |
| Pici | daan38: Hi. #ubuntu is the place for Ubuntu support, if you're just looking to chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 20:23 |
| sta7ic | ObrienDave, im sure you dont know and just wanna be difficult | 20:23 |
| bprompt | daan38: there's an #ubuntu-offtopic that covers other discussions, other than "something is not working" or such, which this channel addresses, or non-support if you wish :) | 20:23 |
| jhutchins | sta7ic: The mini uses the same installer code as the other installers. | 20:24 |
| sta7ic | ObrienDave, obviously your lame and do the full bloatware install, i figured out a possible fix for this, its not in the mini.iso fyi | 20:24 |
| sta7ic | Let's see, download install and configure all packages to /dev/sdb, but lets grub install /dev/sda! genius! | 20:25 |
| ObrienDave | sta7ic, obviously you have nothing better to do than complain about FREE software | 20:25 |
| sta7ic | ObrienDave, my time is worth money, so its not free now is it.. | 20:26 |
| bprompt | sta7ic: so... just file it as a bug anyway, nothing to beat the wall about | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | bprompt, im not, im just retoring fat daves useless banter because thats what excites him in this channel | 20:27 |
| sta7ic | i bet he uses that 'free code' line quite a bit.... | 20:28 |
| Trudko | Hi guys I have been using ubuntu 14.04 for several months now and one thing which supprised me was that it is actualy not that uncommon for something to crash. Not drastically but for example I got message about problems with compiz and some other things too. I always was told that linux generally is stable so it bit puzzling | 20:28 |
| Trudko | dont get me wrong its not really a problem it just bit odd | 20:29 |
| elky | sta7ic: quit with the personal attacks | 20:29 |
| bprompt | sta7ic: ahhh... I see... it was sorta noticable anway, k | 20:29 |
| sta7ic | Trudko, yeah we all get the msgs where 'something has gone wrong' but nothing including turning off those services evens stops them from occuring daily, go figure | 20:29 |
| sta7ic | Trudko, just click ok like the rest of us | 20:29 |
| Trudko | so that is common ? how is that? | 20:30 |
| Trudko | it is because Ubuntu is too edgy? | 20:30 |
| carter1 | Trudko, it's also because you're using graphical stuff, which isn't as stable | 20:30 |
| Trudko | what do you mean by graphical stuff? | 20:31 |
| sta7ic | Trudko, nah it even happens on stable versions, 14.04 is pretty good, just an ubuntu thing, happens on xubuntu as well, whats worse is even if you try to turn them off or the services, it still reports | 20:31 |
| carter1 | like, a server with command line only will be much more stable than a desktop with a gui | 20:31 |

| gueriLLaPunK | ive mounted an iso. what command do i use to copy everything to a folder? cp *.* ~/download/folder? | 20:31 |
| vilce | hey guys, is it possible to create lvm partition with ubuntu-vm-builder ? | 20:31 |
| Trudko | carter1: well sure but that doesnt really address the issue | 20:31 |
| EriC^^ | gueriLLaPunK, no that would only copy files with a "." in them | 20:31 |
| sta7ic | carter1, thats not true in my opinion, GUI stuff has been stable for a long time..although maybe not much on compiz | 20:32 |
| carter1 | gueriLLaPunK, just do * | 20:32 |
| bprompt | gueriLLaPunK: yes... include the -r for recurse | 20:32 |
| gueriLLaPunK | thank you guys | 20:32 |
| pbx | Trudko, the base of the stability claim is: none of those crashes brought down your system. they were contained and handled (and reported) | 20:32 |
| Trudko | pbx that is true generally | 20:32 |
| carter1 | sta7ic, i guess it just comes down to what you mean by stable | 20:33 |
| EriC^^ | gueriLLaPunK, cp -r /path/to/mountpoint/. ~/download/folder | 20:33 |
| carter1 | yeah, ubuntu is very stable, but a CLI is just going to be more stable | 20:33 |
| gueriLLaPunK | thanks EriC^^ | 20:34 |
| gueriLLaPunK | where do I enter the *? | 20:34 |
| bprompt | gueriLLaPunK: if you use the mounted directory as the argument, you don't have to use the global * | 20:35 |
| sta7ic | gueriLLaPunK, if the iso has directories or any sort of depth best to use cp -pR * /path/you/want | 20:35 |
| gueriLLaPunK | thanks guys | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | gueriLLaPunK, if you use * you won't copy hidden files | 20:35 |
| gueriLLaPunK | EriC^^, ah i see. so by using . at the end, it means "everything?" | 20:35 |
| Trudko | btw any more user friendly way how to improve battery life? last time I've tried few months ago it was pretty bleak unless you are happy tinkering with relatively low level stuff | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | it means the current directory | 20:36 |
| gueriLLaPunK | cool | 20:36 |
| sta7ic | Trudko, are you using cpu scaling? | 20:37 |
| judget | k1l lsb_release -d yields Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS | 20:38 |

| sta7ic | Trudko, cpu scalling is like the idea that you dont run the CPU at full mode, now how much does it help, thats a different topic, but you can bascially scale down your 3.4ghz i7 to lets say 1.0 ghz | 20:39 |

| judget | ls -l | 21:21 |
| k1l_ | judget: can you pastebin it? | 21:21 |
| delinquentme | yeah there cool ok so that looks useful daftykins | 21:21 |
| judget | sorry k1l pastebin what? | 21:22 |
| judget | the resulkts od sudo apt-get update? | 21:22 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: hmm not quite the standard output i see, does the normal "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" work now? | 21:22 |
| k1l_ | judget: the command and output | 21:22 |
| k1l_ | judget: and is there a /etc/apt/sources.list.source ? | 21:22 |
| Bushman | ave | 21:22 |
| Scorpionoidea | we are legion! | 21:23 |
| Bushman | who's good with HDMI and resolution issues? | 21:23 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: if you're having mounting issues, i would think you'd want to have backups before rushing into an fsck attempt, then | 21:23 |
| daftykins | Bushman: just ask, on one line, with details | 21:23 |

| delinquentme | ??? | 21:25 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: ok disk looks fine. so, what were the mounting issues? | 21:25 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, should I run tests? | 21:25 |
| daftykins | nope | 21:25 |
| judget | k1l there is a file /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:25 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, pebkac | 21:25 |
| judget | it is the opne you pointed me to | 21:25 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: ok so just your package management issues left on your install huh? | 21:26 |
| shreezbot | So, I'm working on setting key authentication for ssh on my ubuntu machines. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but it seems like I can't use the same key for all of my hosts. Is this correct? | 21:26 |
| === tcpman is now known as Guest68131 | ||
| delinquentme | daftykins, yeap. Same behavior ... except now it doesn't get any further than a black screen after i login | 21:26 |
| delinquentme | I was able to get a instance of a nautilus window to popup when I stuck in a jump drive after logging in | 21:26 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: sounds like graphics driver woes potentially - do you happen to know your 'card' and driver? | 21:26 |
| === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 | ||
| k1l_ | judget: please put the output into a pastebin and link it here. so we can see what is going on | 21:27 |
| delinquentme | but zero windows and no backgrounds | 21:27 |
| Bushman | i have this LCD TV/monitor SyncMaster2032mw, connected by HDMI to ubuntu 14.04 laptop. Native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050 but the display settings only give me 1920x1080, 1280x720 and some weird 720x576 resolutions. I want it to work in native resolution cause any of this options distorts the image | 21:27 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, would that lead to the crashing behavior I was experiencing for both firefox and chrome? | 21:27 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: don't know but one step at a time | 21:27 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: anywho boot back into your install and try the guest session | 21:28 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: if that works it's just your user's config | 21:28 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, as sta7ic suggested though ... this just happened out of the blue ... i was poking postgres installs and configuring python scripts when everything just started to crash | 21:29 |
| shreezbot | Is there a decent guide out there to setting up ssh key authentication? I'm wanting to use a key to authenticate all of my ssh connections to my servers. | 21:29 |
| delinquentme | so I dont think it was anything having to do w user configs ... but let me try the guest session | 21:30 |
| Scorpionoidea | whats the best AV solution for ubuntu? | 21:30 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, nvidia NVS 5400m graphics w optimus tech | 21:31 |
| Bashing-om | !virus | Scorpionoidea | 21:31 |
| ubottu | Scorpionoidea: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 21:31 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: wouldn't hurt to pop off and run a bout of memtest from the live flash drive then | 21:31 |
| BLZbubba | anyone here familiar with how to deal with defunct (zombie) processes on ubuntu? it appears that upstart doesn't handle them properly | 21:31 |
| delinquentme | yeah i ran memtest once and it failed | 21:31 |
| delinquentme | lemm retry | 21:32 |
| Scorpionoidea | if you dont have an AV in ubuntu how do you know there arent any virus? | 21:32 |
| daftykins | Scorpionoidea: AV products do exist. | 21:32 |
| k1l_ | Scorpionoidea: make sure you run the updates regulary to get the security patches. then dont install or run code you dont know its from a trusted source | 21:32 |
| daftykins | also, the notion of 'virus' is very antiquated, malware is what is predominant these days | 21:33 |
| delinquentme | kk so yeah im running the internal lenovo memtory diagnostics test | 21:33 |
| delinquentme | 'quick memory test | 21:33 |
| delinquentme | ' | 21:33 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: memtest'd be miles better. | 21:33 |
| Scorpionoidea | rootkits? | 21:33 |
| k1l_ | !memtest | delinquentme | 21:33 |
| BradyForM | !rkhunter | 21:33 |
| Scorpionoidea | i remeber thats what they call them in linux | 21:33 |
| white_wing | Hey guys, I installed Nvidia proprietary drivers using the ubuntu additional drivers program. On reboot my screen is stuck at a low resolution, but the windows that I create (termina, Nvidia control panel, etc.) Show up outside my desktop, I can't see them but my cursor can reach them. Any idea how to fix this? | 21:34 |
| k1l_ | Scorpionoidea: see my last message | 21:34 |
| daftykins | Scorpionoidea: no they are different things | 21:34 |
| * ObrienDave *sighs* and ROFL | 21:34 | |
| Scorpionoidea | rootkist isnt malware? | 21:34 |
| daftykins | white_wing: which graphics card? | 21:34 |
| white_wing | Nvidia 555M | 21:34 |
| daftykins | Scorpionoidea: no rootkits and viruses are not the same. | 21:34 |
| delinquentme | kk daftykins k1l_ running memtest | 21:35 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: ok, 2 passes minimum | 21:35 |
| sta7ic | Scorponoidea, plus you have sudo asking for root permission every 5 secs when trying to do anything usefull. | 21:35 |
| jhutchins | Scorpionoidea: There are rootkit checkers and there are intrusion detection systems. | 21:36 |
| jhutchins | Scorpionoidea: Best defense is an admin who knows what's going on on the server. | 21:36 |
| sta7ic | best defense is to not be a moron | 21:36 |
| sta7ic | that usually goes a long way | 21:36 |
| Scorpionoidea | server? | 21:37 |
| daftykins | moronity is relative (: | 21:37 |
| jhutchins | So is knowledge | 21:37 |
| sta7ic | scorpiono, yeah your server, even though its a desktop, its a server | 21:37 |
| sta7ic | not to be confused by ubuntu desktop, and ubuntu server =] | 21:38 |
| Scorpionoidea | i dont want to be serving anything | 21:38 |
| sta7ic | its still a server more or less | 21:38 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, im on my first ... and I've already got 4 red failing lines | 21:38 |
| Scorpionoidea | im egotist like that :) | 21:38 |
| sta7ic | delinquentme, not a good sign. good thing laptop memory is cheap | 21:38 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, is the fix ' go buy new memory | 21:38 |
| delinquentme | ? | 21:38 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: oh dear, your RAM is bad | 21:38 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: this a laptop yes? | 21:38 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, yeah | 21:38 |
| delinquentme | PNY | 21:39 |
| sta7ic | ram = cheap | 21:39 |
| delinquentme | is the brand. and yeah sta7ic its certainly better than a mobo or CPU | 21:39 |
| sta7ic | delinquentme, i wonder if your having like a motherboard failure, start out with ram, and keep the receipt | 21:39 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: if you are comfortable with hardware, turn off - remove the battery, disconnect the mains power supply, then open the laptop and remove one of the RAM modules if there are two | 21:39 |
| delinquentme | is this just crap luck or is PNY a crappy ram company? | 21:39 |
| Scorpionoidea | delinquentme:yes | 21:40 |
| sta7ic | delinquentme, try re-seating the ram modules first | 21:40 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, yeah already tried that. booted. still same issue | 21:40 |
| Scorpionoidea | bgest ram is kingstone | 21:40 |
| delinquentme | so I should try removing the other | 21:40 |
| Scorpionoidea | imo | 21:40 |
| sta7ic | delinquentme, blow out the dust like old NES games | 21:40 |
| daftykins | delinquentme: if you have two, run memtest with one in at a time | 21:40 |
| elky | delinquentme: ram dies all the time, no big deal | 21:40 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, +1 smart. | 21:40 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, is it then even worth finishing this test? | 21:40 |
| daftykins | elky: maybe if you rub it on your cat before every boot :) | 21:40 |
| sta7ic | scorpionoidea, pretty sure i dont see kingston on any RAM benchmarks =] | 21:41 |
| Scorpionoidea | benchmarks? | 21:41 |
| Scorpionoidea | sometimes what you win in performace you lose in stability | 21:41 |
| daftykins | we're going way off this channels mandate of OS support now people, lets try and cut the chatter and move it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 21:41 |
| k1l_ | guys, lets stick to ubuntu support in here. we have #ubuntu-offotpic for the other talk | 21:42 |
| sta7ic | but yeah kingston or corsair, its a laptop. no one cares about laptops anyways =] | 21:42 |
| sta7ic | *as im trying to get my laptop to work* | 21:42 |
| Scorpionoidea | corsair sucks | 21:42 |
| Scorpionoidea | OCZ | 21:43 |
| daftykins | STOP please. | 21:43 |
| Scorpionoidea | if you need preformance | 21:43 |
| judget | ki1l here is paste you requested http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW | 21:43 |
| judget | k1l here is paste http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW | 21:43 |
| Scorpionoidea | if you using amd go with AMP if intell go with XAMP | 21:44 |
| k1l_ | Scorpionoidea: enough trolling now. please stop it | 21:45 |
| sta7ic | scorpiono, corsair vengence has a 4.7 rating on amazon 5 stars and newegg, and it sucks? | 21:45 |
| daftykins | Scorpionoidea: i'm afraid every statement you've made is both off topic and completely wrong :) | 21:45 |
| daftykins | sta7ic: stop it please. go to #ubuntu-offtopic like we told you | 21:45 |
| Scorpionoidea | your opinon | 21:45 |
| k1l_ | judget: please pastebin the output of "ls -alR /etc/apt" somehow there are some karmic repos on your system | 21:46 |
| judget | k1l did u see last pastebin ?? http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW | 21:47 |
| white_wing | daftykins Nvidia 555m | 21:48 |
| k1l_ | judget: yes, and did you scroll down? apt-get update uses some karmic repos so there is something really messy on that system. | 21:49 |
| daftykins | white_wing: first run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " to restore it to working | 21:50 |
| lina_peter | Hi | 21:50 |
| lina_peter | crontab is not working on ubuntu, */1 * * * * /root/backup.sh | 21:50 |
| judget | k1l here is paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664174/ | 21:51 |
| delinquentme | daftykins, errors in ram cant be isolated huh? solution is just to buy more? | 21:51 |
| k1l_ | judget: is this a server or a desktop? | 21:51 |
| judget | k1l surprised with the new sources.list to still have karmic repos | 21:51 |
| white_wing | daftykins That's to restore the original resolution right? | 21:51 |
| judget | k1l server | 21:51 |
| judget | i suspect it may have had a failed update at some point | 21:52 |
| k1l_ | judget: there are karmic sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 21:52 |
| k1l_ | judget: i would suggest to remove karmic.list and karmic.list.distUpgrade in there | 21:52 |
| daftykins | white_wing: that'll go back to what i suspect will be the intel driver only to restore things to default, yep | 21:53 |
| white_wing | daftykins thanks! :) | 21:53 |
| Nikesh | I just made a screencast with Kazam. It's output is mp4. How can I most easily convert the mp4 to GIF? | 21:54 |
| sta7ic | mp4 to gif? ouch | 21:54 |
| swine_ | is anyone here familiar with cgroups? | 21:55 |
| sta7ic | gunna be one huge gif | 21:55 |
| sta7ic | Nikesh, im sure there are some conversion programs out there, did you look? | 21:55 |
| Nikesh | sta7ic: There should be some way to compress/reduce the quality. The video is like 4 seconds | 21:55 |
| Shurtagul | So, somehow my filesytem got turned to read only or something in xubuntu. I tryed to restart my computer to see if it would fix, but now it gets stuck on the loading screen. Please help | 21:55 |
| Nikesh | sta7ic: Yes but none mentioning mp4 | 21:55 |
| judget | k1l removing them seemed to fix the apt-get update | 21:56 |
| k1l_ | judget: ok. "sudo do-release-upgrade" then | 21:56 |
| code42 | Hello | 21:57 |
| sta7ic | Nikesh, well why not convert it to something those sites do like, and go from there? | 21:58 |
| judget | k1l yes im doinmg it now seems to be getting farther along now | 21:58 |
| judget | can i buy you a beverage? | 21:58 |

| Cipher45 | I'm having a little bit of trouble with the update-notifier-common package on ubuntu server. After installing it and sshing in nothing seems to happen. My motd is supposed to change when new updates are available | 21:59 |
| k1l_ | judget: no thanks i am fine :) just donate to your favorite OSS project if you want to do me a favor :) | 21:59 |
| Cipher45 | Do I have to add something to my bash profile? | 21:59 |

| shreezbot | So, I'm trying to use rsa keys to authenticate via ssh to my server. Is there another way I need to issue the ssh command other than "ssh user@host.name.me -p 7777"??? | 22:00 |
| shreezbot | Sorry, not rsa keys, just keys... | 22:00 |
| Dyan | i have no keyboard on my other PC..... how do i enable on screen keyboard (mythbuntu) | 22:01 |
| Cipher45 | swine_ | 22:01 |
| Nikesh | Anyone know why ffmeg is no longer available? | 22:01 |
| Cipher45 | Sorry, | 22:01 |
| swine_ | Cipher45: wut? | 22:01 |
| k1l_ | Nikesh: avconv is the fork that is used from debian and ubuntu | 22:01 |
| Cipher45 | shreezbot, that should be fine, what are you using to ssh, terminal or putty? | 22:02 |
| shreezbot | terminal | 22:02 |
| Dyan | anyone know how to solve my problem? | 22:02 |
| Cipher45 | swine_ I accidentally tabbed to you instead of someone else | 22:02 |
| swine_ | ah | 22:02 |
| swine_ | is no one at all familiar with cgroups? :P | 22:03 |
| Dyan | mr | 22:03 |
| Dyan | *me | 22:03 |
| shreezbot | Cipher45, I'm using terminal. I'm able to use putty no problem, but terminal isn't working for some reason.. | 22:03 |
| Cipher45 | shreezbot, Where are you storing the ssh keys? Mine are in ~/.ssh/ but I'm on a Mac, It may be slightly different for linux | 22:04 |
| shreezbot | Cipher45, If I use 'ssh -v user@host.name.me -p 7777" it doesn't give an error, it just asks for a password. | 22:04 |
| shreezbot | Cipher45, I'm storing them in .ssh | 22:04 |
| shreezbot | Cipher45, ~/.ssh | 22:05 |
| Bundestrojaner | good evening. i've just installed an nvidia-driver, now my system doesn't boot anymore (freeze with splashscreen) | 22:08 |
| Bundestrojaner | is there a boot-option to boot it with the open source nvidia-driver? | 22:08 |
| EriC^^ | !nomodeset | Bundestrojaner | 22:10 |
| ubottu | Bundestrojaner: 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 | 22:10 |
| rexbutler | Question: When I boot I get the welcome audio, but once I log in I have no sound. What could cause this? | 22:11 |
| Bundestrojaner | EriC: i managed before to get to a console. it shows something like this: [ 280.812017] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout. | 22:12 |

| toxic | I just installed backbox 4.1 I'm totally not confused on how to use it lmao. | 22:26 |
| shreezbot | rypervenche, I gave it a different name. I included the hostname in the filename so I'd know which host that key was for. | 22:26 |

| rypervenche | shreezbot: yes, or create a config so you don't have to | 22:27 |
| shreezbot | rypervenche, Holy shit! That worked! :) | 22:28 |
| shreezbot | rypervenche, So there is a way I can make it so that I don't have to use the -i switch? | 22:29 |
| rypervenche | yes, you'll want to create a ~/.ssh/config file | 22:29 |

| rypervenche | Host (a name you want to call it, let's say foo), Hostname (the IP or hostname), IdentityFile (path to private key). If you need User or Port add them. | 22:31 |
| rypervenche | shreezbot: Each on a separate line. | 22:31 |

| delinquentme | I swapped the placement on the rams ... and they're now running well behaved. | 22:37 |

| teh_the | Hi | 22:51 |
| genii | teh_the: Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu support channel. If you have a question about your Ubuntu just ask the channel in general, and then someone should try to answer. | 22:52 |
| teh_the | I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright but i noticed a problem when connect to through hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers not the tv and there only one output option on the sound options. Hope someone can help =P i've googled a bit but found no solution... | 22:57 |
| teh_the | thanks genii | 22:58 |
| teh_the | btw this netbook is ubuntu certified :p | 22:59 |
| teh_the | so it says the sticker hehe | 22:59 |
| delinquentme | OK so it turns out that while the ram is seemingly OK... something is still taking a poo | 23:00 |
| delinquentme | also ... if the RAM were faulty ... wouldnt I be having issues with the live boot CD as well? | 23:00 |
| Dewin|work | I've had a heck of a time getting Ubuntu Vivid, iSCSI, Hyper-V and ZFS to all play nice together, but I think I'm finally getting it to work. | 23:03 |
| Dewin|work | Most of it seems tied to the fact that zfs has had working systemd files in its repo for a year, but they don't seem to ship with the zfs-native PPA... open-iscsi doesn't ship with systemd services, and I'm forced to use Vivid and ZFS dailies because I'm otherwise stuck by a combination of no kernel version that doesn't cause issues in Hyper-V that ZFS will build on. | 23:06 |
| teh_the | I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright, but i noticed a problem when connect the hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers and not from the tv and in the sound options there's only one output. Hope someone can help =P i've googled a bit but found no solution... | 23:09 |
| delinquentme | OK so wait maybe I found my problem? I just mounted my primary HD while checking it out with a live boot disk .. . and in looking at the end of /var/log/dmesg ... it says something about being unable to spawn flask_default main process: unable to find setuid user | 23:10 |
| delinquentme | now these *were* tools I was messing around with | 23:10 |
| delinquentme | but that seems totally unrelated to the everyting was crashing error I had earlier | 23:10 |

| svetlana | maybe stored in dmesg.1, i forget | 23:20 |
| delinquentme | so if /var/log/dmesg has errors ... that will be *the* most recent errors on that machine | 23:20 |

| delinquentme | the user whos configured to run the service via supervisor ... I guess isn't there? | 23:23 |
| k1l_ | delinquentme: you said you changed something before that errors happend. so what did you do? | 23:25 |
| delinquentme | k1l_, well that was changed ... say last night ... and the machine had booted just fine prior | 23:26 |
| k1l_ | what changed? | 23:26 |
| svetlana | delinquentme: after reading it i say you try to rescue or read your hard drive from a live cd.. since that error seems software related. I lack context though. | 23:28 |
| delinquentme | im not sure ... but its kind of curious that dmesg.0 fails at the exact same spot | 23:28 |
| delinquentme | no? | 23:28 |
| delinquentme | k1l_, nothing really eventful happened between the bootup earlier today ... and where its at derping right now | 23:28 |
| delinquentme | i was messing around with postgresql and python scripts | 23:29 |
| delinquentme | but the error with flask shown in dmesg was certainly something I had touched on | 23:29 |

| delinquentme | say I installed something with apt-get on a machine ... and now I've mounted that machines root HD ... | 23:32 |
| k1l_ | delinquentme: changes on your system shouldnt affect the live system. so if the live system is broken too it might be a harware issue. most common is a ram issue. | 23:32 |
| delinquentme | how do I uninstall that thing I installed from a liveboot cd / mounted root filesystem ? | 23:32 |

| delinquentme | k1l_, nah the live boot behaves pristinely | 23:32 |
| pi_user_84 | greetings everyone | 23:35 |
| moldo | hello pi | 23:35 |
| lotuspsychje | pi_user_84: welcome | 23:35 |
| moldo | pi_user_84, where are you from ? | 23:35 |
| teh_the | hey | 23:36 |
| aouki | guys i tried 9485 ways and i still cant get root permissions to my ubuntu can someone tell me exactly what i have to do? i want to become 'super user' on my ubuntu how can i do it pf | 23:36 |
| lotuspsychje | moldo: keep it related to ubuntu support please | 23:36 |
| moldo | lotuspsychje, ok | 23:36 |
| lotuspsychje | !sudo | aouki | 23:36 |
| ubottu | aouki: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 23:36 |
| === Ian is now known as Guest55179 | ||
| ObrienDave | !root | aouki | 23:37 |
| ubottu | aouki: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:37 |
| Guest55179 | hey | 23:37 |
| delinquentme | SO. HOW DO: uninstall a program I installed with $ sudo apt-get install blah ... when the HD I had originally run that command on ... is now slaved up to my liveboot system ?? | 23:38 |
| lotuspsychje | delinquentme: purge? | 23:38 |
| k1l_ | delinquentme: use a chroot | 23:38 |
| delinquentme | ive never used chroot before | 23:39 |
| lotuspsychje | !chroot | delinquentme tnx to k1l_ | 23:39 |
| ubottu | delinquentme tnx to k1l_: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot | 23:39 |
| teh_the | I've got a eeepc x101ch with ubuntu 14.04 installed (gui gnome flashback) It's working alright, but i noticed a problem when connect the hdmi to my tv the sound comes out of the netbook speakers and not from the tv and in the sound options there's only one output. I can't find a solution... | 23:40 |
| Finetundra | n | 23:41 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: there should be 2 options in sound, hdmi and speakers | 23:41 |
| teward | how do I use a USB-to-serial cable to access a console interface on a device in Ubuntu | 23:41 |
| teh_the | right that's what I thought lotuspsychje but there isn't | 23:42 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: did you try to 'mirror' both screens, tv and pc? | 23:42 |
| teh_the | so I guess it's missing something :S | 23:42 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound > teh_the | 23:43 |
| ubottu | teh_the, please see my private message | 23:43 |
| moldo | i need a good site where i could learn linux command lines easily. Do you guys have any link please ? | 23:43 |
| k1l_ | moldo: what commands? | 23:44 |
| teh_the | thanks | 23:44 |
| teh_the | not mirror no | 23:44 |
| moldo | k1l_, all commands | 23:44 |
| moldo | all basic commands | 23:44 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: you might wanna look in syslog and dmesg also when you try the hdmi | 23:44 |
| k1l_ | moldo: start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:44 |
| vevais | Oy | 23:45 |
| moldo | k1l_, thanks | 23:45 |
| moldo | :) | 23:45 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: wich output shows 'only' in your sound options? | 23:45 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje problem is that mirror limits resolution so its no good.. I have both screen working though but problem is only the audio | 23:46 |
| Bashing-om | moldo: Another : http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux . | 23:46 |
| moldo | Bashing-om, thank you ! :) | 23:47 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: hdmi or speakers output show? | 23:47 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: did you try a reboot with hdmi branched in pc also? | 23:48 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje its the speakers | 23:48 |
| teh_the | built-in audio | 23:48 |
| teh_the | no I did not since its kinda of working | 23:49 |
| teh_the | I thought it could be some driver related issue | 23:49 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: you can try sudo lshw -C sound and check whats behind driver= | 23:49 |
| rexbutler | Question: Can anyone give me clues about which package I should install in the following situation: | 23:50 |
| rexbutler | To start, when I run When I run $ <SDK directory>/tools/emulator-x86 -avd Your_AVD_Name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm (with my variables) | 23:51 |
| rexbutler | I get : SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device | 23:51 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0 | 23:53 |
| teh_the | looks good? | 23:53 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: should be good yes | 23:53 |
| teh_the | weird... | 23:53 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and fool around with hdmi a bit unplug/plug | 23:53 |
| === sysop is now known as Guest33252 | ||
| lotuspsychje | rexbutler: maybe you need libsdl ? | 23:56 |
| teh_the | should I see something happen when pluggin or unpluggin because nothing shows up =/ | 23:56 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: try the same with tail -f /var/log/dmesg maybe | 23:57 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | can I run ubuntu with a GNOME3 de and uninstall unity? | 23:57 |
| lotuspsychje | !nounity | gr1zzlybe4r | 23:58 |
| ubottu | gr1zzlybe4r: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 23:58 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | !nounity? | 23:58 |
| ubottu | gr1zzlybe4r: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:58 |
| rexbutler | lotuspsychje: Do you know which package I need? | 23:59 |
