=== Alberto is now known as bet0x === mpmc is now known as WindBag [00:03] knite: maybe of interest, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26021181/not-enough-entropy-to-support-dev-random-in-docker-containers-running-in-boot2d [00:04] there is a way to install opencl on ubuntu? [00:06] xpro256: http://mhr3.blogspot.nl/2013/06/opencl-on-ubuntu-1304.html [00:10] ok, reading with attention [00:11] xpro256: I haven't used it myself though. [00:15] hiya [00:15] o/ [00:15] ok, but it comes together with the amd graphics controller? [00:16] anyone know how to log or know which users have accessed a file? [00:18] xpro256: I have no idea, i haven't done anything with it. [00:20] ok, opencl is very useful sometimes with some graphics and games [00:20] HurricaneHarry: ok, thanks [00:21] xpro256: are you thinking about opengl, not cl ? [00:21] HurricaneHarry: no, opengl i do have it [00:22] opencl for amd [00:24] a_: not possible without prior setting up some monitoring.. [00:26] xpro256: i was under the impression opencl was only for using gpu for calculations. === kokut1 is now known as kokut [00:30] is it just me or we all having shockwave flash crashes constatly in chrome === prime is now known as Guest29087 [00:34] HurricaneHarry: some games use it [00:37] hello [00:37] hey sup [00:38] 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] any ideas? [00:38] 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? [00:39] running some random shell commands indicates that it's really a ralink device with the code 148f:7601 [00:39] 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? [00:41] Jan-: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 [00:42] errr [00:42] we don't really get what's on that page [00:42] if there isn't a fairly minimal number-of-clicks solution to this it's probably not going to happen [00:45] Jan-: I have no access to a debian machine right now, maybe someone else can walk you through. [00:46] Jan-: You need the machine to be on a cabled connection to internet first. [00:46] It's not debian. It's ubuntu. [00:47] and yes, we've done that [00:47] Jan-: installed updates ? [00:48] Will that help? [00:49] oh and we have apparently [00:49] Jan-: In systemsettings you can enable non-free drivers. [00:49] we're just waiting for it to reboot [00:49] I... honestly couldn't care less whether the drivers are free or not. [00:49] I'm not an open source politician. [00:51] so we updated and it doesn't seem to be working [00:51] there's no UI for it [00:51] Jan-: sometimes there just aren't any open drivers as the manufactures does not provide the info. [00:51] Could not care less. [00:51] Just want it to work. [00:51] Jan-: system settings, software and updates, enable non-free drivers. [00:52] well [00:52] under "ubuntu software" we have "proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" which was already enabled [00:53] there's an "additional drivers" tab which just seems to permanently say "searching for available drivers" [00:53] Jan-: After the system is updated; check "Additional Drivers" in Software Center". See if any drivers are now offered . [00:53] the only thing it (eventually) found was concerned with the video drivers for the AMD kabini CPU [00:54] and it says "no proprietary drivers are in use" [00:54] Jan-: did you reboot after the updates ? [00:54] yes. [00:55] Jan-: what's the problem? [00:56] wifi dongle doesn't work [00:56] which I appreciate is not a new problem on linux [00:57] by wifi dongle you mean an iburst? [00:57] it says "TP-Link TL-WN727N" [00:57] but it seems to be a ralink device under the hood [00:59] Jan-, after pluging the tlwn727n type dmesg and see its recognizes it [00:59] and type lsusb too [00:59] we did that [00:59] it has the code 148f:7601 [00:59] Jan-: pastebin ifconfig [01:00] one at a time eh [01:00] is there an equivalent of windows device manager so we can look at whether the system thinks it has a driver or not [01:03] Jan-: lsmod | grep rt === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [01:03] what'll that do [01:03] Jan-: you could try # tail -f /var/log/messages and re-insert, that might give some information. [01:03] hm it lists two things about "parport" [01:03] what are we trying to achieve her? [01:05] Jan-: pastebin ifconfig for us [01:05] it's a lot to retype [01:05] but it only mentions lo and eth0 [01:05] Jan-: try ifconfig -a [01:06] you can go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there [01:06] same [01:06] just highlight the text in the terminal then click the middle mouse button to paste, or shift+insert [01:06] ok [01:06] it doesn't mention a wifi device anyway [01:08] Hi everyone :) [01:09] Jan-: try sudo lshw -C network [01:10] one device listed, an RTL8111 series, looks like the hardwired gig e [01:10] 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. [01:13] pfifo: squid comes to mind. [01:14] 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] is this any use to me: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 [01:14] again I emphasise [01:14] this is ubuntu not debian [01:15] Abbott: grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX , then update-grub [01:15] 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] Jan-: nope that was my mistake. [01:15] Jan-: maybe you should get a different wireless adapter [01:15] seriously?! [01:15] I thought linux was supposed to be fixed these days :/ [01:16] Jan-: you seem to want a one click solution, and are getting impatient already [01:16] Jan-: did you tail the log while re-inserting the wifi ? [01:16] EriC^^ would it be possible that my system is not using grub? Idk if tails uses grub or not [01:16] HurricaneHarry: I did a lot of things, remind me? [01:16] Abbott: are you using windows too? [01:17] jan-: tail -f /var/log/messages [01:17] jan- [01:17] 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] Abbott: cause i think gummiboot can't load windows .efi files [01:17] jan-: and re-insert the wifi dongle. [01:17] cannot open /var/log/messages for reading: no such file or directory [01:18] Abbott: more than likely it has grub [01:18] Okay. I'll try that now [01:18] jan-: tail -f /var/log/syslog (i sometimes mix up all the different linux versions) [01:18] if it doesn't you'll just get an error [01:20] Greetings everyone [01:20] HurricaneHarry: whole lot of stuff. [01:21] ohh hey, i think i found it polipo seems to be perfet [01:21] ubuntu newbie - need help in setting up desktop share [01:21] HurricaneHarry: what are we looking for [01:22] it spurts out more stuff when we plug the USB dongle in [01:22] Jan-: when inserting the wifi-usb something about loading/not loading a driver. [01:22] "vendor 148f product 7601" [01:22] like it said before [01:23] nothing about drivers [01:23] any errors? [01:23] last line is "bus 1 device 4 was not an MTP device" [01:23] nothing specifically saying error [01:24] Jan-: try a different usb port === ubuntu is now known as Guest41137 [01:25] same sort of output [01:26] do you have a blue usb port? [01:26] the 3.0 one? [01:26] USB3, you mean? [01:26] yes. [01:26] try using that one [01:27] same again [01:27] we avoided those on the assumption linux wouldn't support them, is all === daz is now known as Guest74681 [01:28] I have no idea what an MTP device is, but this dongle isn't one [01:29] it's supposedly a media transfer protocol === Guest74681 is now known as dazza5000 [01:29] i'm not sure how relevant this is, if at all [01:29] http://askubuntu.com/questions/505932/ubuntu-14-04-mtp-error === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [01:30] if you don't know, I don't know [01:31] I got "Failed to isolate default target, freezing." while booting and than hangs, does anyone encounter this issuse on 15.04? I have to use init=/sbin/upstart to boot into the system [01:31] Jan-: try to install those 2 packages [01:31] which packages? [01:31] 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] the ones in the link [01:31] Which makes sense because there isn't a /boot folder, but there is an EFI/BOOT folder [01:32] Abbott: are you in the installation right now? [01:32] or a live usb? [01:32] i think i386-pc is for non-efi grub [01:33] Jan-: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218061 talks about the same device not being able to get it to work. [01:33] Jan-: a different usb adapter would be wise i guess. [01:33] what needs to be done to get desktop sharing to work on Ubuntu 14.04? [01:33] well obviously I'm not going to buy new hardware [01:33] I'm just going to go back to windows [01:33] sheesh, how hard can it be!? [01:34] blame the hardware manufacturer for not making drivers [01:34] Jan [01:34] Stick with it [01:35] I'm booted into a live cd of ubuntu editing a tails installation which is always a live usb [01:36] So would I use --efi-directoey=EFI? [01:36] no support here [01:36] RabbitOutOFRedha: I honestly would, but this just needs to work [01:36] Abbott: i think you're booted in legacy mode in the ubuntu live usb [01:36] this machine is going in a corner where there isn't really a sensible way of getting an ethernet cable to it [01:36] try ls -l /sys/firmware/efi [01:37] and I mean, yikes, I'm obviously not going to throw hardware out just because linux can't get its act together, that's crazy === megabitdragon is now known as megabit|away [01:37] Hello I am using Ubuntu 14.10 and when I try and connect to my vpn with ssl certs it don't seem to matter what I chose I always get the error " invalid Certific [01:38] oops spelling sorry [01:38] Jan-: It's not linux but the manufactures that is wrong here, they don't provide. [01:38] they provide for windows [01:38] EriC^^ no such file or directory [01:38] Abbott: yeah, you're booted in legacy mode [01:38] 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. [01:39] Jan-: and not for linux, furthermore they do not provide the resource to make them ourselves. [01:40] Jan-: in the end you could have checked the hardware compatibility list before buying some random usb wifi dongle. [01:40] we already had it [01:40] it worked fine under XP [01:40] 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 [01:41] Jan-, you will need an ethernet cable to make that wifi work [01:42] it's already online [01:42] Jan-: anyways a non fruitfull discussion, only one thing comes to mind ndiswrapper. [01:42] OerHeks: non-supported wifi-usb-dongle. [01:44] OerHeks: ralink device with the code 148f:7601, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218061 [01:44] I wasn't sure if this was relevant https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 [01:44] though I reiterate this is ubuntu not debian and we have had serious problems with taking debian stuff in the past [01:45] Jan-: stated before, not relevant, that was my error. [01:47] EriC^^ when I disable legacy emulation, I can't boot into the ubuntu usb. Would there be any reason my computer couldn't boot it without legacy emulation? [01:47] dpkg --force-* [01:48] Abbott, legacy emulation is required for usb boot, its a bios thing [01:48] Abbott: what happens when you boot it? [01:48] i am facing a problem that says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:48] !uefi [01:48] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [01:49] i am facing a problem that says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. can anyone help me out [01:49] Utal: did you try running sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [01:49] HurricaneHarry: I'm not sure you suggested that, did you? [01:49] Utal, so did 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' correct the problem ? [01:49] Jan-: yes i did. [01:49] so - there's no solution? [01:50] hey guys im trying to map a samba share in kubuntu, windows can see it but kubuntu can't any ideas? [01:50] Jan-: there might be a possiblity of using ndiswrapper to use the windows drivers, but I haven't done that in a while so can't help you there. [01:51] *facepalm* well done linux [01:51] Jan-: well done ralink you mean. [01:51] microsoft don't seem to have the same problem === thomas_ is now known as Guest14428 [01:52] Jan-: microsoft is a huge corp that sells commercial products as are ralink and whoever [01:52] Jan-: pop in a windows cd and go that route. [01:52] would seem they'd help each other out you think? [01:53] Jan-, how about " sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb " >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/541850/ubuntu-14-04-tp-link-tl-wn727n [01:53] EriC^^, ya [01:53] I think it's an issue of whether it's worth ralink doing it for the size of the linux market [01:53] plus the support issues [01:54] does anyone know why i can see my NAS in windows but not kubuntu [01:54] OerHeks: it outputs some stuff [01:54] Jan-: exactly they're in it for the money [01:54] kpc what format is the drive? [01:55] OerHeks: what are we looking for [01:55] Jan-, what hardware is that? [01:56] Jan-, pull the ethernetcable and wireless should pop-up [01:56] dont know if you got the last message [01:56] but its a samba using ext4 [01:56] OerHeks: good find. [01:56] OerHeks: just a message about being offline [01:56] external harddisk connected to a raspberry pi [01:57] Artemis3: a tp-link tl-wn727n [01:57] who's the vendor of the nas? [01:57] kpc [01:57] its a toshiba, but thats just the harddisk manufacturer [01:57] the nas is operated out of a raspberry pi [01:57] on a samba server [01:58] kpc: what do you get if you do "smbclient -L " [01:58] try smbclient for the ip kpc [01:58] It just doesn't boot if I disable legacy usb. When it's enabled I get a screen asking me if I want to try without installing or install to hdd etc. And I hit try without installing. Is there an option I can add or take away to get it to not boot into legacy mode? [01:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10657140/ [01:59] what was all that modprobe stuff about then [01:59] kpc: you need to enter a username and password then [02:00] Abbott: turn off legacy support in the bios [02:00] Can anyone help me mount my SD card in the inboard slot on my laptop? It comes up as: mmcblk0 179:0 0 14.9G 0 disk [02:00] └─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 14.9G 0 part /media/EOS_DIGITAL [02:00] but wont auto mount [02:00] Abbott: when the pc boots press esc and try to get a boot options or efi boot manager and choose uefi usb [02:00] where do i add that? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [02:01] Jan-: does it work now ? [02:01] aenima: it's literally mounted at /media/E0S_DIGITIAL right now [02:01] how would I tell [02:01] firefox still says "server not found" [02:01] Jan-, did you see this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/577941/installing-the-driver-for-tp-link-tl-wn727n-on-ubuntu-14-04 [02:02] i was looking at the options i dont see where to enter username and password [02:02] Artemis3: I think we did but couldn't follow it [02:02] oh yes this is the "compile it yourself" thing [02:02] basically that's so unlikely to work we didn't try [02:03] that howto is straight forward [02:03] 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 [02:04] Artemis3: we have it online via ethernet if that helps [02:04] just make sure you got a wired connection running and follow the steps mentioned. one by one. [02:04] 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] k1l_: if there's no other option we can try it [02:04] but I will bet you $10 it won't work [02:04] stuff about compiling never really does unless you're on exactly the same machine as the guy who wrote the instructions [02:04] Jan-, the instructions don't look too bad [02:04] Jan-: you can go and buy hardware that works with linux, with ubuntu in that special case here [02:04] Jan-: it's not the compiling thing. [02:04] dude I can copypasta the instructions [02:05] but seriously [02:05] Jan-, but i think you need to install build-essential first [02:05] is creating a build environment for all that actually ever going to work [02:05] of course it isn'tr [02:05] we didn't even think it was worth trying [02:05] Jan-: did you even try it? [02:05] no. [02:05] of course you will fail if you never try [02:05] more likely to break the install than do anything useful. [02:05] Jan-: or are you just waisting time of volunteers with your random stories? [02:05] Jan-," sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb " did work [02:05] I'm not a software engineer [02:06] OerHeks: define "work". It output some stuff. [02:06] Jan-: so do you have a clue or not? because your "ideas" dont make sense at all. [02:06] Jan-, just sudo apt-get install build-essential before folloring the other instructions [02:06] well I don't really have any ideas, that's why we asked here. [02:06] honestly, it seems like it'd be easier to buy a $8 wireless adapter that works out of the box on linux [02:06] Jan-, no, installing build-essential doesnt mess anything else [02:06] i cant figure out the command to use a password [02:06] Jan-, did you pull the cable and then yes, you might take a look in networkmanager ? [02:06] in smbclient [02:06] Jan-: just read that instructions from the first answer marked with the green checkmark. follow them one by one. [02:06] kpc: smbclient -U username [02:07] kpc: then enter password when it asks [02:07] k1l_: here goes. [02:07] But as I say. $10 it'll spit out like 500 lines of debug and fail. [02:07] Jan-: if you recieve an error or are unsure what to do ask specific questions [02:07] or just pretend to work, and it still won't. [02:07] 192.168.0.3: Not enough '\' characters in service [02:07] Jan-: stop that [02:07] thats what i get when i do that [02:07] Jan-: where is the exact error? else stop waisting the time with your stories [02:08] 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] Jan-: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541850/ubuntu-14-04-tp-link-tl-wn727n see this one !! [02:08] EriC^^ is it possible my computer doesn't have uefi boot? [02:09] 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] kpc: can you pastebin the full command and error [02:09] ok [02:09] Abbott: does it mention uefi in the bios? [02:09] k1: it's happening, have patience [02:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10657196/ [02:09] Jan-: that is what OerHeks was doing, and he's good, i know him. [02:09] Abbott: or secureboot? [02:10] kpc: uh... did it not ask for a password? [02:10] Abbott: in the boot order can you put the usb at the top? or uefi usb? [02:10] after "make" it started spitting out lots of debug, including warnings and errors. [02:10] ./ignore Jan- [02:10] oops [02:11] !paste | Jan- put all that into there [02:11] 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] there's *no way* I'm retyping all that. [02:11] lolll [02:11] Jan-: copy&pate [02:11] *paste [02:11] Ben correct [02:11] include all commands you used. [02:11] it has no problem when using windows [02:12] I don't see anything about uefi in the bios. I see usb but not uefi usb [02:12] Abbott: secure boot? which os do you run on this machine? [02:12] 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] does its partition table including a fat32 efi partition? [02:12] well we ran all those commands [02:12] kpc: also the share name [02:13] *include [02:13] still no wifi. [02:13] Jan-: did you read what i said? [02:13] I have the correct username and password [02:13] Jan-: you said there were errors, you need to pastebin what k1l_ requested [02:13] it my raspberry pi defaults [02:14] problem is i never get to enter them [02:14] EriC^^ the machine runs Win 8 x64 [02:14] 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] the other commands didn't produce errors [02:14] Abbott: most likely it has uefi [02:14] my system is not misconfigurated [02:14] it's an absolutely plain vanilla fresh install from ten minutes ago [02:14] Abbott: how did you make the ubuntu live usb? [02:14] Jan-: if a command in the middle makes an error there might be no hope that the last commands work at all. [02:14] maybe ill paste you my smb.conf from my server? maybe the problem is there? [02:15] well OK [02:15] EriC^^ I used the pen drive linux live usb installer [02:15] now it isn't a plain vanilla fresh install [02:15] 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] now it's had a load of random commands run on it so nothing will probably ever work again, but OK [02:15] lol [02:15] Jan-: stop the chatting and start giving us the info we need to help you [02:15] this is too much [02:16] kpc: ok, then try this... sudo mount -t cifs //IP/SHARENAME /MOUNTPOINT -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD [02:16] let's try the other approach someone linked [02:16] Jan-: no [02:16] Jan-: where is the issue in you giving us the output in a pastebin? [02:17] 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] fwiw, i ran the commands and it resulted in a kernel module being built with no problem [02:17] Ben64: that howto looks straight and uptodate to me. [02:18] sure would help to see what part errored for Jan- .... [02:18] 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] how do i dusable gvfsd? [02:18] 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] So you see. [02:18] Abbott: if you can dd the iso it would be great [02:19] Jan-: if its not connected to the internet there is no way you will get the wifi to work [02:19] Abbott: also checksum the iso [02:19] so we tried this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541850/ubuntu-14-04-tp-link-tl-wn727n [02:19] how do i disable gvfsd? [02:19] 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] and somehow it suddenly started working. [02:20] perhaps it may have been a delayed reaction to other things we did [02:20] we will never know. [02:21] now we're rebooting to make sure the changes stick [02:21] boodllebat: ls -la --author [02:21] 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] Stifler: yes figured that :) [02:21] Have I used the phrase "I think"? [02:22] Jan-: you cant provide facts. that is what 5 people were asking you to all the time. and all gave up [02:22] what point are you trying to make [02:22] K1l_: actualy i didn't give up but you were hard interfering. [02:22] doesnt work [02:23] says failed to access directory [02:23] i copied it right out of my smb.conf [02:23] I think the magic phrase may have been "sudo modprobe -v rt2800usb" [02:24] Jan-, according to that same post, the modprobe does not stick so you need to write that script. [02:24] how the hell anyone is supposed to know that [02:24] lol [02:24] well we rebooted and it still seems to work [02:24] so right now we're thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it [02:25] eh... no flash [02:25] Jan-: good luck exploring further, (pepperflash) [02:25] is flash also an "omg proprietary code" issue? [02:25] Jan-: so did the wifi work? [02:25] Jan-: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [02:25] it works right now [02:26] weirdly youtube somehow works [02:26] but other flash doesn't [02:26] Jan-: google chrome is pretty good for flash [02:26] Jan-: that's cause it uses html5 [02:26] Jan-: sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree [02:27] youtube uses html5 [02:27] my server is ignoring "sudo shutdown -r now" [02:27] it doesn't even print an error or anything [02:28] and nothing shows up in /var/log/syslog [02:28] any idea what's going on? === verdeP_ is now known as verdeP [02:29] hmm okay that code fixed flash [02:29] Why can windows see this share and linux cant [02:29] why isn't that done by default? [02:29] i dont get it [02:29] Jan-: becourse it's non-free.. [02:29] I wasn't asked for a credit card number [02:30] Jan-: not a discussion to be held here and now. [02:30] Jan-: it conveniently uses your bank account [02:30] Jan-: legal and license issues. and some users dont want flash as default on their systems, too. especially not something from google. [02:30] ( j/k ) [02:30] perhaps they could have an "I'm a normal human" checkbox on the installer? [02:31] if i whine alot do i get 3 people helping me? [02:31] if so count me in =D [02:31] Jan-: any other support issue? this is not a debating channel but a technical support channel. thanks [02:31] Software center seems to be having an authentication issue. [02:31] my samba share will not connect in linux but has no problem in windows [02:32] does anyone have any idea why this is happening [02:32] Ben was trying to help but ive gotten nowhere [02:32] kpc to a rasp pi? [02:32] yes [02:32] well, sorta [02:32] I've apt-get updated, and dpkg -a --configure 'd , etc. [02:32] dare I ask [02:32] skype? [02:32] or is that a silly question [02:32] !skype | Jan- [02:32] 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] kpc the pi is running ubuntu or what [02:32] 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] the pi is running raspbian [02:32] and samba [02:33] kpc how does ubuntu come into this [02:33] im using ubuntu [02:33] to connect to it [02:33] and it cant find it [02:33] kpc to do what [02:33] i want to map the drive and i cant, i know it works because it works fine in windows [02:33] its an NAS [02:33] thus using samba [02:33] this includes information on adding repositories [02:33] how do i disable gvfsd? [02:33] is this DEFINITELY safe? [02:33] 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? [02:34] oh hey losh [02:34] Jan-: the canonical partner repo is safe. i mean you want to install skype. so you want 3rd party code anyway [02:34] Jan-: easyer, just go to skype.com and download there. [02:34] Jan-: hi Jan. But we don't chat here, this is support only, & they are strict about it. [02:34] I got the strict. [02:35] Jan-, so take the chit chat elsewhere [02:35] at skype.com they don't list the version we have here [02:35] Jan-, use the one from partner repo [02:35] Jan-: but the 12.04 version will work. [02:36] any ideas bazhang? [02:36] what's a "partner repo" [02:36] i need to map a NAS samba share [02:36] HurricaneHarry: is that guaranteed not to screw anything up? [02:36] Jan-: why didnt you read the link the bot gave you? [02:36] !info skype partner | Jan- [02:36] does anyone here know how i can do that [02:36] 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] Jan-: thats what i am running. [02:36] !partner | Jan- [02:36] 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" » [02:37] is there any way of finding out whether a particular piece of software is available for a particular kind of linux? [02:37] there seem to be as many versions of linux as the day is long [02:37] compatibility information is often vague [02:37] Jan-, skype being safe or not is completely out of ubuntu's hands [02:37] ok once again [02:37] well sure but installing the 12.04 version on what we have, which is not 12.04, seems risky [02:37] Jan-: see if that is in the official ubuntu repos. if so, install it with the ubuntu package system. [02:37] trying to map a NAS samba share [02:37] it does not show [02:37] does anyone here know how to make this happen [02:37] please [02:38] Jan-: did you read what we told you? you can use the ubuntu partner repo and get skype form ubuntu [02:38] k1l: please stop that ill advise.. [02:38] HurricaneHarry, dont advise the wrong thing then [02:38] K1l: that is totaly outdated information. [02:38] if i change my name to jane can i get help too? [02:39] HurricaneHarry: i dont think telling him to download all software from websites is going to help him keep a working system [02:39] kpc dont repeat every five seconds [02:39] HurricaneHarry: the partner repo is not outdated information [02:39] 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] Jan-: what did i tell you? [02:40] I have no idea. I have 16 people telling me various often contradictory things. [02:40] k1l: running a i386 compat layer on a 64 bit is not outdated when skype provides a 64bit binary ? [02:40] Jan-, the partner repo has useful commercial software, that is sometimes non-free, ie proprietary [02:40] i feel like i know what it's like to be in a bad marriage right now [02:40] 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] Jan-: the partner repo needs to be enabled first. then you can install skype from the regular software-center in ubuntu [02:41] I couldn't possibly give a tinier hoot whether it's non free, proprietary, pink, or attached to a rampant wildebeest. [02:41] 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] oh, er, just trying to keep the tone light :) [02:41] Jan-, thats what the ot channel is for NOT Here [02:42] 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] jan has been told the policy many times [02:42] and when I go to restore, I forgot I encrypted my home dir [02:42] and i still cant get anyhelp [02:42] this is ludacris [02:42] 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] How do I backup and restore ubuntu with an encrypted home dir using tar? [02:42] kpc try askubuntu while you wait then [02:43] so, we downloaded the ubuntu 12.04 version and got a .deb file, and ran that, then hit the "install" button [02:43] nell: if you've logged in i think your home dir would be decrypted [02:43] it didn't say anything bad, but we still don't seem to, er, "have skype" in any sense. [02:43] Jan-, and what version of ubuntu are you on [02:43] k1l: hey whatever man, you're the one jumping in the conversation. [02:43] EriC^^: I am logged in and I'm extracting the tar to / and my home dir is filling up with ECRYPTFS_etc [02:43] ubuntu 14.04 LTS [02:43] !partnet | Jan- [02:43] and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype [02:44] !partner [02:44] 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] Jan-: wait a bit. [02:44] kpc: you must be doing something weird on your raspberry pi, works fine here [02:44] Jan-, so dont install the 12.04 version, use the partner as has been suggested many many times now [02:44] can someone please give me a definitive answer on what to do here [02:44] 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] nell: ok, no idea [02:44] Ben thats what im trying to figure out [02:45] what is going wrong? [02:45] I'm going to use the built in backup option [02:45] Jan-, the definitive answer is this: install from the ubuntu sources [02:45] k1l: says the guy wanting him to compile all kinds of stuff. [02:45] nell: the files in your backed up home dir aren't decrypted? [02:46] nell: weren't you logged into the installation when you backed it up? [02:46] HurricaneHarry: to compile skype you would need the source first [02:46] 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] k1l: but enough with the rants. [02:46] im going to past my smb.conf [02:46] no EriC^^ I backed up my system with rar while logged in [02:46] tar* [02:46] that apt command ends with "skype:i386 is already the newest version" and lists zero files to install etc [02:46] my pi is righteous [02:46] nell: ok, shouldn't the files then be decrypted? [02:46] HurricaneHarry: *sigh* [02:46] Jan-: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f [02:46] im going to use ubuntu's built in backup [02:46] and then restore on the new computer [02:46] Jan-: Try that out. [02:46] nell: id just use deja-dup [02:46] Has anyone gotten Adobe Lightroom 5.7 to work on Wine? [02:46] sup niggas [02:46] yeah thats whawt im doing now pengin [02:47] hi nell [02:47] Jan-: good, what does "which skype" say? [02:47] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10657388/ [02:47] Loshki, it asys, why you using skype nikka! [02:47] use google hangouts! [02:47] any suggestions on a software center authentication error? [02:47] Ben64 thats the pastebin from my pi [02:47] gtuckerkellogg, yea remvoe ubuntu entirely [02:47] Loshki: /usr/bin/skype [02:47] gtuckerkellogg: how about sharing the actuall error in first place¿ [02:48] that's like an old vax command [02:48] kpc: i don't see a pastebin from you? [02:48] kpc: Did you install cifs-utils and try to mount manually? [02:48] Ben64 Righteous is my raspberry pi [02:48] Jan-: great. Now type "skype" at the prompt. [02:48] now i give up, more people stepping in than i can handle. [02:49] 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] the thing is she'll be expecting a big blue icon [02:49] dalek i havent [02:49] kpc: oh [02:49] Jan-: you can skype me for practice if you like. PM [02:49] oh [02:49] Jan-: are you on unity? [02:49] he figured it out [02:50] EriC^^: I'm sitting here on (thank god) windows 7 [02:50] 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] Jan-: i mean your ubuntu [02:50] I'm sitting next to the guy who's using ubuntu [02:50] for the record, I can install from the command line with sudo apt-get [02:50] Jan-: unity? [02:50] what's a unity [02:50] and i've apt-get updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, and dpkg -a --configure 'd [02:51] Ben64 have you seen any problems in that smb.conf"? [02:51] it's the desktop environment, are there icons on the left? [02:51] kpc: yeah, you have user security on [02:51] DalekSec whats the command to mount? [02:51] use google hangouts! [02:51] I think we're sort of in shape here [02:51] k1l: ^ [02:51] Ben64 How can I disable it? [02:51] kpc: you're the one who changed that conf to begin with... [02:52] 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] Ben64 thats helpful information ben, but not helpful and achieving a solution [02:52] pretty sure that's what we did [02:52] ok [02:52] kpc: mine works fine after installing samba on raspberry pi, you changed it, this isn't a raspberry pi support channel [02:53] ooh firefox on ubuntu lacks adblocker [02:53] Jan-: nope [02:53] Jan-: just install the addon like you would on windows. [02:53] Jan-, as does every new firefox [02:53] Jan-, thats nothing to with ubuntu/window/mac [02:54] Jan-, install it , just the same as in EVERY OTHER os [02:54] yeah that's fairly consistent because it's all inside firefox [02:54] kpc: Something along the lines of mount.cifs //10.1.1.90/share /mnt/pi-share of course using the correct IP. [02:54] 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] Jan-, so why chat about it here [02:55] 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 [02:57] gtuckerkellogg, kellogs cornflakes? [02:57] 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] Ben64 arguing with you is a waste of time and counter productive can you please just assist? [02:58] excuse me guyz [02:58] im just new in ubuntu operating system [02:58] you are excused [02:58] kpc: yes, arguing is a waste of time. i suggest you go back to a standard smb.conf [02:58] !manual | aiyhenn have read first [02:58] aiyhenn have read first: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

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? [03:00] 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. [03:01] 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 [03:02] kpc: reloaded smb for loading the smb.comf? [03:03] 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] kpc: used smbpasswd to make the accounts to login?

[04:21] 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" [04:22] how to get xrandr command in Ubuntu? [04:22] for the record, i've apt-get updated, upgraded, dist-upgraded, and dpkg -a --configure 'd according to all the recommendations I can find [04:22] noforn: define "get" [04:23] Ben64, there is no xrandr command in cli [04:23] which is required for nouveau Optimus instructions [04:23] there should be... try installing x11-xserver-utils [04:23] ok [04:23] wait [04:23] are you actually on ubuntu? what are you doing [04:24] Optimus Offloading 3D [04:26] Ben64, how to check graphics performance? [04:26] I have dual graphics [04:27] noforn, unigine heaven benchmark pacage [04:27] *package* [04:27] which package? [04:27] unigine? [04:27] no such package [04:28] noforn, not int the repos [04:28] cfhowlett, I just want to check frame rates over nouveau and INtel [04:28] and compare [04:28] hi babes [04:28] I need more irc friends [04:28] cfhowlett, there use to be a program with some circle or 3d art [04:28] every one flock towards me [04:28] in cli [04:28] PerfM, wrong channel. [04:28] cfhowlett, every channel is the right channel to find friends. [04:28] PerfM, Babes? You a babe? [04:28] PerfM, this is tech support. go elsewhere for "friends" [04:29] cfhowlett, I am okay with having tech supporters in my circle of friends. [04:29] but not you cfhowlett, you're kind of hurting my feelz right now [04:29] _anthony_: bcoz we sent the PC to a shop to replace RAM with more ram. and now, surfing seems slow, when i point to, just point to a running program on the taskbar, it opens and when i right click on a running programs window to close it, it closes. WTH!! [04:29] cfhowlett, is that test engine opensource ? [04:29] noforn, http://unigine.com/products/heaven/ [04:30] ok [04:30] noforn, nope, but the demo version is free [04:30] free edition? [04:30] there is free edition for personal use [04:30] <_anthony_> phiona: sounds like you the RAM is either bad or the shop screwed something else up [04:31] <_anthony_> the RAM you have* [04:31] <_anthony_> perhaps you should talk to the people at the shop about this [04:31] so new friends, what do we support each other on in here? [04:32] PerfM: as per the topic and the channel name, we support ubuntu [04:32] <_anthony_> phiona: also, does it happen with other users or just your user profile ? [04:33] elky, I wish I wasn't so lazy to invest in a real irc client so that I could block your stupid username and never have to see your online face again. [04:33] Ubuntu only. Offtopic is where we support each other drinking habits. [04:34] cant keep a good man down [04:34] Lulzer, no but you can add him to /ignore ... [04:34] I note that PerfM's female. [04:35] _anthony_: i guess its only to me, bcoz im the only user of this pc. [04:35] rww r u gay [04:36] gtg guys. [04:41] I'm having a problem. Nothing is being written to /var/log/auth.log whenever I fail to login using ssh [04:41] <_anthony_> decadence18: what are the permissions and ownership set to? [04:42] User: Syslog, Group: Root [04:42] <_anthony_> sudo chmod +w /var/log/auth.log [04:42] <_anthony_> ? [04:43] _anthony_: what is the permissions of it now [04:43] Still nothing _anthony_ [04:43] oh [04:43] decadence18: what are the permissions now [04:43] shmod o+w [04:44] chmod o+w [04:44] :P [04:44] Remind me how to look at the permissions from terminal. It's 12:44 and my brain is only half working. [04:44] ls -l file [04:44] <_anthony_> decadence18: ls -lh /var/log/auth.log [04:44] i do ls -la file [04:45] -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] _anthony_: shouldn't be [04:45] -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 17923713 Mar 23 00:45 /var/log/auth.log [04:45] <_anthony_> Ben64: ? [04:45] shouldn't be root, should be syslog [04:46] <_anthony_> eh, I'm on debian testing .... [04:46] <_anthony_> Came this way [04:46] *repeatedly bangs head against keyboard* [04:46] decadence18 has correct permission other than all read. [04:46] indeed [04:47] Any other ideas? I got it to write at one point, cleared it back out, and it stopped working again. [04:48] decadence18: what is the setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? [04:48] decadence18: cleared it? why [04:48] LogLevel and SyslogFacility [04:48] SyslogFacility AUTH, LogLevel VERBOSE [04:49] and I cleared it because I spammed it with my own test login failures [04:49] hmm [04:49] decadence18: remove read from all on that file, and reboot [04:49] and stop messing with system files [04:50] Yeahhhh I kind of have to mess with them considering the program I'm writing [04:50] no you don't [04:51] <_anthony_> decadence18: what's the output of lsattr ? [04:51] Yes, I do. Considering what I'm writing is a defensive "malware" @ ben64. and _anthony_: -------------e-- [04:51] decadence18: you really really don't ever need to mess with an active log file [04:52] <_anthony_> decadence18: thanks, it doesn't have the 'immutable' switch that I was thinking the problem could be [04:52] 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_ [04:53] <_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] decadence18, virtualbox. attack at your indulgence. [04:53] <_anthony_> ... and with that, I bow out gracefully [04:53] how is letting a log file log normally "attacking" [04:54] 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] And thank you for your help anthony [04:54] well thats illegal [04:54] <_anthony_> :) [04:55] 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] Not the "attack" i'm using [04:55] @somsip I know, I'm working on that part [04:55] if its called attack, its illegal [04:56] you should a) stop doing that b) stop messing with active log files and c) stop talking about it here [04:56] @Ben64 if you break into my house and I attack you, it's not illegal, it's self defense. [04:56] is your program holding the auth.log file open such that the system cannot write to it? [04:56] decadence18: if someone touches your port 22 its not even close to the same thing [04:56] @stifler, my program isn't even running at the moment [04:57] decadence18: tried purging ssh server and reinstalling? [04:58] its not a ssh problem [04:58] its a messing with active log files problem [04:58] no, but clean slate. [04:58] no, just reboot [04:58] Ben64, I'm going to say this one more time. The log file was not active. I know this with 100% certanty. [04:58] the log file is always active [04:59] if sshd is running, its active [04:59] Not when I'm accessing it from a different OS [04:59] if you're not running the os, why would anything write to the log file [04:59] ? [05:00] Stifler: sshd is not the only thing that uses that log file [05:00] 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 [05:01] @Ben64, is it? did not know. [05:01] sudo, cron, samba, pam, other stuff [05:02] fair call. Ive only ever looked at it for failed 22 attempts. [05:02] I'm done for the night. I'll restart my quest for an answer tomorrow. Thank you all for your help [05:03] guess he could look at syslog.conf? [05:07] join #learnprogramming [05:08] how do i reboot my computer im using ubunto [05:08] sudo reboot [05:09] <_anthony_> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/shutdown-ubuntu-linux-computer/ [05:09] <_anthony_> ... it's pretty much what Ben64 said [05:10] i have no sound since they updated to 14 and cant afford to pay someone i am trying everything [05:11] can someone please help me [05:12] 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] how do i get my sound back [05:12] whoops wrong channel. sorry guys. off to Drupal. [05:13] <_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? [05:14] it stopped working when they updated to ubunto 14 automatically [05:16] <_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 [05:18] 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 [05:19] <_anthony_> "how do i reboot my computer im using ubunto" [05:19] <_anthony_> Those were your exact words [05:20] asked because im trying to get my sound back sorry for the confusion [05:21] <_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 [05:22] im trying to use commands in terminal to get sound back and then reboot [05:24] <_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 [05:25] 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 [05:26] thanks anthony [05:27] hi [05:34] hi [05:34] can anyone help with conky? [05:37] show your conky problems [05:38] when it refreshes somettimes, it keeps the old one behind, so there's 2 conkies overlapping for a while [05:40] own_window_type normal [05:41] Keyboard Shortcut to open a terminal in a directory so it has the terminal directory set to the foler I open it front? [05:41] set " own_window_type normal " [05:42] thanks [05:43] so I asked this before but I think I got into a misunderstanding [05:44] 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] should I create a ppa with the newer versions of these libraries and my software? [05:45] <_anthony_> CyborgCygnus: Is there an option to right click in the Nautilus window and "open terminal here" like there is in Thunar [05:53] hello [05:54] _anthony_, Doesn't apppear to be [05:54] 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] !checkinstall [05:54] 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! [05:55] <_anthony_> CyborgCygnus: Navigate to the proper working directory in Nautilus (or "Files"), right-click and select "open in terminal" [05:55] wow [05:55] <_anthony_> You should be g2g [05:55] that was really helpful [05:55] _anthony_, Well I've trying right click in the folder & no such option [05:56] <_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] _anthony_, Ubuntu 14.04, this is the ubuntu chat right? Unity [05:56] <_anthony_> Not out of the box, anyways [05:57] 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] dtscode: you could try starting it from terminal, see what errors you get? [05:58] !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] 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] is wayland avaiable in ubuntu [05:58] lotuspsychje, thanks [05:58] linuxuz3r: try playonlinux or appdb database mate [05:58] ok [05:59] when I do aptitude search, my terminal gets highlighted and I can [05:59] 't unhighlight it [06:01] Jonno_FTW: might be usefull to make a screenshot of what you mean exactly [06:02] _anthony_, DEfinitely not on mine, it's 100% stock.

[07:03] Ray__: the binaries? no. you can move your config, but it might not work with a newwer version [07:03] skcin7, isn't hand-holdy the problem with ubuntu? [07:03] * hdon no troll [07:04] yeah i dont think ubuntu would be the best choice for no handholding [07:04] maybe debian but even that would not be as hard [07:05] i would guess gentoo or archlinux would be appropriate for that [07:06] 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] Ray__: its ~/.config/deluge but sure, maybe [07:07] good stuff, did you install over cRap os x or new pc? [07:07] thank you for the help!!

[07:43] hosein, salam hamvatan, na, tu in hafte update nakardam! [07:45] MortezaE, just to create a shortcut to a program on desktop or in another folder? [07:45] btw why ur still on Trusty? do upgrade bro! [07:45] When I put my notebook (Lenovo T430s) on the docking station I often have to remove and plugin the HDMI cable again an then press for display detection, so only then my extermal monitor will work again... any ideas what I can do? [07:45] hdon, any folder [07:46] i found some scripts to create desktop launchers [07:46] MortezaE, from command line you can do this with "ln -s src dst" and in nautilus it shows up as a "shortcut" but to do it in nautilus hmm... [07:46] anyone successfully installed UBUNTU on MacBook Pro 15Inch with Retina display? [07:46] yes i know, ok for now i use it, thank u [07:47] ah MortezaE i have found it [07:47] really? :) [07:48] MortezaE, begin dragging an icon in nautilus, press and hold ALT at the destination. the cursor on my system becomes a question mark. when you release the mouse button, a menu appears. choose "Link" to create a symlink (shortcut) [07:49] oh let me test [07:50] Thimbles235, jasonjckn was just in here with display driver problems on retina display. seems to be a problem :( [07:51] hdon, thats awesome.. thx bro [07:51] :( [07:52] MortezaE, np :) [07:58] Hia! I'm trying to set a FQDN to set up iRedMail, but am not quite sure as to how to structure it? === Arab_Aspie is now known as kaplan [08:05] HewloThere, hi, iRedMail is an MTA? === kaplan is now known as Arab_Aspie [08:06] hdon: iRedMail is a script that installs all of the appropriate things and configures it to make a mail server. [08:06] ahh [08:06] hdon: I'm a bit confused on this? http://www.iredmail.org/docs/install.iredmail.on.debian.ubuntu.html#set-a-fully-qualified-domain-name-fqdn-hostname-on-your-server [08:07] HewloThere, mm, what domain are you serving mail on? === ubuntu is now known as Guest48383 [08:07] HewloThere, or is this an "intranet" mailserver? [08:07] hi guys [08:08] 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] how much swap do I for using vm in ubuntu [08:08] ? [08:09] Morning everybody! [08:09] HewloThere, "intranet" just means email would be generally undeliverable from the general Internet, but would be only for internal company/organization purposes [08:09] HewloThere, ok so, what other purposes does the system you are using as your mailserver serve? [08:10] morning [08:10] hdon: Oh. I plan to share it with the leaders of my clan leader. [08:10] Should/Can I upgrade Ubuntu's Python 2.7.6 to 2.7.9 ? [08:10] HewloThere, probably webserver, other services i take it [08:10] hdon: Yup. [08:10] (I have ubuntu 14.04) [08:10] 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 [08:11] 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] hdon: Mmm... [08:12] 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] 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] Oh... Okay. Thanks, hdon. =) [08:13] how much swap do I need for using vm in ubuntu [08:13] HewloThere, np :) hope the explanation helped. remember, too, that you will need to set your MX DNS record [08:13] hdon: Okay! [08:13] HewloThere, how much swap inside the vm? [08:13] Wrong person. =P [08:13] err [08:13] reza, how much swap inside the vm? or the host system? [08:14] I want to install new os [08:14] 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] reza, install new OS from within an emulator? [08:14] iwant to know how much should I use for [08:15] libux to later use win7 in vm [08:15] reza, issue isn't ubuntu swap. issue is how much memory you assign to the vm. [08:15] 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] really? [08:15] HewloThere, so far so good :) [08:16] hdon: So that should work? [08:16] so is there okay to not use swap at all? [08:16] 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] reza, how much ram do you have? [08:16] HewloThere, yes but it's not the only change you need to make. what does your /etc/hostname file say? [08:17] 3Gb [08:17] hdon: It says "Mail". [08:17] HewloThere, heh, you will want to change that [08:17] by what program to cut video? [08:17] hdon: Will I change it to the same as the other fiel? [08:17] HewloThere, btw are you running a webserver yet? [08:17] file * [08:17] pootis_penser_he, openshot [08:18] hdon: iRedMail installs it for me. [08:18] HewloThere, oh, neat [08:18] hdon:3GB [08:18] reza, lubuntu or xubuntu will probably run better with that small amount of ram. ubuntu will be sluggish [08:18] HewloThere, remember to reboot after change /etc/hostname [08:19] HewloThere, actually a full reboot isn't needed, but it's easiest way to do it for newb ;) [08:19] Okay. =) [08:19] What would I change Mail in /etc/hostname to? [08:20] no im runing kubuntu 64bit with no problen [08:20] problem [08:20] 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] Oooooh. [08:21] 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] Okey. [08:23] hdon:can you help me? [08:24] 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] !swap | reza [08:24] 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 [08:27] ubottu :I see that link but I don't see something that can help me [08:27] reza: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [08:29] 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. [08:30] I am only use to ./configure make make install [08:30] reza: It may be more pertinent to view how often you are hitting/using swap before adjusting it. [08:30] my cpu does support pae but does not have a flag for it [08:34] irontree9: Is this the first time you've tried to use a custom kernel? [08:34] reza: Wha exatcly is your question... Do you have 'swap' on your running kubuntu installation? Would you like to add one? [08:35] on ubuntu yes, but no. I have used custome kernels alot. hold on think I am over looking something [08:35] custom [08:35] minimec: He wants to know how much swap is needed for a base VM. [08:36] 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] 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] do I made it clear [08:36] * irontree9 trying to make sense of the crazy grub.cfg [08:36] agent_white: During installation of his windows7 VM, he will not be able to choose that anyway... [08:37] reza: Yes you did. It depends on how much RAM you have given your VM. [08:38] reza: And what you intend to do on the VM. It will use swap when no RAM is available. [08:38] 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] ^ [08:38] reza: Ok. I want to know, if you have some swap on your running kubuntu installation. It is important for us to know that. [08:39] minimec: It is most important to know what the VM will be used for :) [08:39] agent_white: No, it is definitely not... [08:39] 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] let me put up a paste bin [08:40] 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. [08:41] http://pastebin.com/VGRKmRJ9 [08:41] Does anyone a cool copyclip type thing? [08:41] 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. [08:42] 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] oh well i guess reza left [08:42] 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] 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. [08:43] minimec: I'm not familiar with zram-config :) Fair enough! I'll have to do some research into it! [08:43] agent_white: and... with a windows VM he cannot allocate swap either... [08:43] minimec: He can't allocate swap running a ubuntu in a VM inside windows? [08:44] agent_white: No... the other way. He has kubuntu as host and wants to use a win7 guest. [08:45] minimec: OH! WOW! Ignore my point then entirely. I read it all wrong :) === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [08:46] ah minimec is correct " how much swap do I need for using vm in ubuntu" [08:46] ^ [08:46] agent_white: Stifler: anyway... reza has left the #channel by now... [08:47] minimec: Shame. Sorry for adding the bloat in there while your answer was correct. [08:47] * Stifler puts the bottle of VM away and tries to create a new wine === 64MACEQXJ is now known as martinh_ [08:53] So how is that prop emulator going these days, cedera or something? was a long time ago, they were making money off getting win games to work.? [08:57] 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] offending [08:58] irontree9: Cheers :) Thanks for the followup. I got distracted after taking a peek at your issue. [08:59] agent_white, no problem. dpkg -b is just bitching about not finding ./DEBIAN/control but it is right there?? in ./control [09:00] got it [09:00] just renamed the dir to what it wanted I guess [09:04] hi all. i have this error on my syslog: intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: ME failed to update for more than 1s, likely hung [09:04] any hints? === eduardo is now known as Guest93835 === WindBag is now known as mpmc === Icedream- is now known as Icedream [09:19] How can chromium-browser keep its settings after apt-get purge / apt-get install [09:19] I am still signed in [09:20] ivali: because your local settings are stored in /home/'ivali'/.config/chromium ? [09:20] i thought purge deletes the configuration files. thanks for the tip. [09:21] for a second i got scared. "how does he know my home is "ivali"?" :P [09:23] ivali: yes... 'purge' deletes config files, but only on system level (like /etc/... stuff), not the local configuration of each user. [09:24] 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] I am assuming I am breaking it some how unpacking and repacking it [09:25] or unpacking and rebuilding or however debian goes about it. [09:26] the strange error being: unable to open file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci//boot': Is a directory [09:26] but I believe this is smoke up my a$$ [09:31] hey what channel would i use to get help on openvpn [09:32] SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: "The user IRC channel (#openvpn on irc.freenode.net)" https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/GettingHelp#UserIRCchannel [09:35] http://askubuntu.com/questions/590751/i-am-unable-to-install-octave-packages-related-to-octave-3-8-2 ... come on, -1 and no answer? [09:35] minimec, good lookin out [09:35] I have the same issue :) [09:37] hola ? [09:37] hola pekee [09:38] :) [09:40] 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] is [09:40] SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: huh [09:40] go to the first part of the sentence you mean? [09:40] EriC^, word [09:40] ctrl+a [09:41] ctrl+e for the end [09:42] 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] if that makes sense [09:43] you want to scroll up? [09:43] lol [09:43] is that what you're saying? [09:43] ya but just right to the last argument [09:43] instaed of having to scroll up looking for it [09:43] SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_7.html [09:44] asd [09:45] agent_white, thx [09:47] Can anyone give me an advice what to do in order to lower my temps? I get around 75 on idle [09:47] kalen_not-here: dsa [09:48] I have a laptop. Cpu1: 75 Cpu2: 64 GFX: 76 [09:48] SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: did you find it on that page? [09:48] bokoboko: I find turning off my machine lowers the temp quite well. :) Jokes!! [09:48] hehe [09:49] 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] Stifler: Hahahah [09:49] In windows on idle is colder but when I open youtube or skype call it heats up [09:49] SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: gnome-terminal [09:49] EriC^, kk thot so just checkin thanks homie [09:49] np did you figure it out [09:49] In ubuntu it always hot [09:50] i couldn't find anything on that page [09:51] Can i disable any graphic settings etc? I am not eperienced Linux user so.. [09:52] bokoboko: do you need 3d acceleration? [09:52] If I knew what is this or what it does... :S [09:53] Nevermind tell me how to disable it :) [09:53] 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] SVCR3D_SHV0WS: maybe you are looking for ctrl-r (reverse search of history?) [09:53] bokoboko: i mean do you need to play games which need the gpu or something like that? [09:54] 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] 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] HurricaneHarry: he wants something that will scroll up in the buffer to the previous command's last output [09:54] No no games [09:54] HurricaneHarry: i'd be blown away if somebody made something like that [09:55] Ok let me write these things cause ur throwing info :D [09:55] Ok so I have to disable 3d acceleration cause I do not play any games especially in linux [09:55] also do the powesave true [09:56] bokoboko: type lspci -nnl | grep -A2 VGA [09:56] minimec what are the 2 things u said i dont know them [09:56] sorry lspci -nnk | grep -A2 VGA [09:57] ok [09:57] radeon [09:57] is this the word you wanted to know i guess? [09:57] lol in what context [09:57] driver in use? [09:57] 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] kernel driver in use: radeon [09:58] ok, looks like you're using the open source driver [09:58] bokoboko: undervolting would be the last step (to avoid if possible) [09:58] ok cool i understood minimec i have to check the model to see that [09:58] bokoboko: if you type top in the terminal, do you see any high CPU usage processes? [09:58] psensor counts? [09:58] I mean i can see it from there [09:59] agent_white, okay think I got it [09:59] psensor shows around 10-15% [09:59] the processes not the usage [09:59] oh [09:59] brb [09:59] bokoboko: check top, btw 10-15% is huge === pvoigt_ is now known as pvoigt [09:59] you should be at 1-2% [09:59] I have open terminal,pidgin, srware iron(chromium) with 1 tab and gedit [10:00] bokoboko: xchat firefox terminals and other crap and i'm at 1-2% [10:00] The biggest cpu is 7% [10:00] all other are under 1 [10:00] or they change constalty but the 7% is like static [10:00] Hi all, I have a message "no space left on the device" for a user. [10:01] Oh the plank is 7% [10:01] bokoboko: ok, did you check top for anything outstanding? [10:01] When I log with sudo -s. [10:01] yes im telling u info from top command [10:01] I can write or mkdir what I want. Any idea? [10:01] bokoboko: is there a high usage in any of the processes in the list? [10:01] touki: pastebin the output of 'df -h' [10:01] * Stifler wanders outside to see if the full moon has returned. [10:02] EriC^ only plank(dock) uses 7% cpu [10:02] all others are around 1 or lower [10:02] Ben64: http://paste.debian.net/162695/ [10:02] ok [10:02] touki: clear some space [10:02] Yep. [10:02] Someone has done things on this server. [10:03] sorry! [10:03] bokoboko: i've no idea [10:03] bokoboko: did you try cleaning the fan? [10:03] touki: the reason root can do stuff is because a certain amount of space gets reserved for root, so everything doesn't explode if you run out of space [10:03] Stifler: Werewolves are back tonight? [10:03] no cause its not my laptop so i dont want to open it [10:04] if i disable 3d acceleration will not change anything? [10:04] Ben64: ok. Didn't know that. [10:04] bokoboko: don't do that [10:04] bokoboko: i think it's already disabled if you're using the open source driver, not sure [10:05] I use the open source? How do u know? :S [10:05] bokoboko: it said driver in use radeon [10:05] agent_white: xchat | grep "clear concise assistance request" [10:05] ok [10:05] that's the open source ati driver [10:05] bokoboko: go to additional drivers in the dash [10:06] ok [10:06] Stifler: I've come to enjoy the "!xy" command as well as http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html from #archlinux (not sure if it's aliased to a bot here) [10:06] ;) [10:09] agent_white: lol into goes straight to hackers!!! Secret files that contain only hex that you and I can only reverse engineer!! I do need to put the red wine away!! [10:09] Stifler: Hahahah <33 [10:10] minimec I have a laptop i guess i dont have integrated gpu right?

It looks like with Ubuntu 14.04 only the opensource GPU driver is available for your GPU. In 12.04 however you would have the opensource and the nvidia proprietary driver as choice. That's what I read on the internet. [10:16] I see well i use it for almost 2 months now [10:16] I also have installed compiz dont know if it matters [10:19] bokoboko: when you make a skype call and it 'heats up' What TYPE of call are you making?

Do you tried to use that 'pm-powersave' command once. does it lower the temp? [10:20] but still even with mics only heats up [10:20] Ill do it now minimec [10:21] I hope it works [10:21] temps seem not to change [10:23] anyway thanks guys for ur help === nottrobin is now known as nottrobi === nottrobi is now known as nottrobin [10:37] hello guys.....

[11:06] 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 [11:07] 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 [11:08] 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] a long time [11:08] certainly a good while [11:09] 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] jishjish, how long is long, rough esitmate... [11:09] jishjish: and command line too. even without overwriting [11:10] yeah MasterChief10 i agree im not technical but it seems to be taking way too long? [11:10] jishjish, you should be able to check the output of dmesg [11:10] jishjish, in a different window run 'dmesg' [11:10] sta7ic:what is dmesg how do I run it? [11:10] ah ok [11:11] jishjish, see if there are any errors being spit out regarding the reformat === Bl4ckD34Th is now known as zz_Bl4ckD34Th [11:12] How to run guest OS in ubuntu KVM with lower cpu speed than physical? === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti === Rahul is now known as Guest17768 [11:20] sta7ic: apparently my partition values do not match - not sure what to do next http://pastebin.com/fCmZwQ5M [11:20] it's dmesg output [11:21] Hi all I'm still learning about ubuntu server, and I was wondering if there was a way to setup so I could download to my home server when I'm using firefox on another computer? eg: firefox on xubuntu or windows 7? === Guest17768 is now known as RahulAN [11:23] jishjish, saying unknown partition table, not sure if this is an option but from the GUI or possible cmd line, you could run gparted/gpart to reset the GPT partition [11:29] Hi all I'm still learning about ubuntu server, and I was wondering if there was a way to setup so I could download to my home server when I'm using firefox on another computer? eg: firefox on xubuntu or windows 7? === thomas_ is now known as Guest83672 [11:30] Ray__, not sure what you mean... [11:31] How can you list all i386 packages you have installed? === soee_ is now known as soee [11:32] P.S. Love you guys in IRC. [11:32] sta7ic, example I'm using xubuntu and firefox and I download image.jpg , instead of downloading it to my xubuntu laptop it downloads to my nas instead [11:33] Ray__, you could probably mount the NAS under your laptop, and then change the mozilla download dir to the NAS mount which would do that [11:34] I want to upgrade ubuntu from 12.04.3 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 [11:34] Not Ubuntu 14.10 [11:34] How to set that? [11:34] Ray__, something like this maybe? sudo mount -t nfs :// /mnt/ [11:35] join #freebsd [11:35] argh! [11:35] heehee [11:36] ok so maybe a download manager on the server I can send downloads to so they downloaded by the server? otherwise server is useless to me and I've wasted moths learning it [11:37] *months [11:39] Ray__, you used the word 'server' three times in that sentence and i have no idea what ur talking bout...i gave u a viable solution so go back to google and run with it..learning linux is never a waste.. [11:39] hello, i am using ubuntu 14.04 in a MacBook Pro and it gives me lots of problems involving WiFi connections. usually it disconnects after 5 minutes or so..anyone can help me? [11:40] don't matter it has been a waste of my time. But thanks for the help never wasting my time on a server again. [11:43] can anyone help me with that please? [11:47] ? [11:51] huig: I assume you already installed the drivers within Settings? [11:52] 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] i have been using it for months [11:52] but wifi just is intermitent [11:53] sometimes it works fine but others every 5 minutes or so it justs disconnects [11:53] i didn't need any drivers [11:53] i have been looking and in a forum says something about iwconfig wlan0 | grep 'Power Management' === daniel is now known as Guest57930 [11:53] i have it turned off [11:54] 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] but if i run sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on [11:54] it gives me operation not supported === UKn0Me is now known as UKn0Meh [11:57] any suggestions? === AustinTheGrey is now known as AustinTheGrey_Aw [11:59] huig, i just gave u several [12:00] 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 [12:02] 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 === AustinTheGrey_Aw is now known as AustinTheGrey [12:14] !ops [12:14] Help!

[12:42] is minidlna in ubuntu repositories? [12:42] Hi all, does anyone know where i'd find error logs in 14.04 for USB stopping working (with no apparent reason for it stopping that I can find). Thanks. === Zim is now known as Guest13030 [12:46] plus10: yes. [12:46] Hiyas all [12:48] if updating grub, and I want multiple commands for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" can I separate them with spaces? e.g. I need both quiet splash and acpi=force irqpoll [12:54] RMJ: Yes, just do GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="irqpoll acpi=force" [12:56] Oh dear [12:56] Hi, I just did a rm-rf * [12:56] Nindustries: Sounds like you learned a lesson lol [12:56] not even sure what I deleted === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon [12:57] Nindustries: Well the question is -- what directory did you do this in first off? [12:58] ~/Downloads [12:58] Then the only thing you would have delete was stuff in there [12:58] oh [12:58] wait [12:58] D008 [12:58] Oops [12:58] Nice password DJones lol [12:59] lasko: If only, a bit short for a password [12:59] lasko: you sure? [12:59] 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 [13:00] however [13:00] If you did say, rm -rf / then thats a different story === Guest57930 is now known as KentAgent [13:00] ah no, luckily [13:00] Thanks :) I must have been confusing them [13:01] I did a watch -n 1 df -h and saw the used space in / drop significantly, that's why I was panicking [13:01] 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] Nindustries: * expands to all characters, meaning everything in your present working directory (not including files or folders starting with a dot) [13:01] Well, if it only removed files in ~/Downloads, i'm happy [13:02] rypervenche: Ahh, ok. I tought * would include .. too [13:02] lasko - thankswas acpi=force irqpoll the wrong way around then? [13:02] Nindustries: Essentiall * means ./* [13:02] Ok ^^ [13:02] Nope, there is protection against that by default. [13:02] 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? [13:04] trijntje: What language? [13:04] rypervenche: python, but I need to store the paths in an sqlite database, hence the requirment to put them in a string first [13:05] 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) [13:06] 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] trijntje: You should probably use a list for that. I would ask in the Python IRC channel. [13:06] rypervenche: sqlite doesnt allow for lists ;) [13:07] 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 [13:09] e.g. in windows you'd have file paths like home\new folder\stupid way of organising a directory tree.docx [13:09] I am unable to scan from a network printer. Would any body help. xsane gives device is busy [13:11] RMJ: thats true, hmm. Ill ask the folks in python what they think as well. Thanks [13:21] I am unable to scan from a network printer. Would any body help. xsane gives device is busy [13:21] hello i asked for some help some hours ago [13:21] I dunno why tmux doesn respond well with some combination keys like shift+f2. It shows the tilde (~) symbols instead of spliting the windows, any ideas? [13:21] but i got disconnected [13:22] anyone help me with macbook pro with ubuntu wifi issue?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [13:23] thanks [13:23] i have intermitent wifi using ubuntu 14.04 on macbook pro, any help? [13:25] good morning guys -- or at least it is for me :). Though it would be a better morning if my sound on my lpatop hadn't stopped working with the leatest updates for Ubuntu 14.04. [13:25] Can anyone help me resolve this? I've tried several threads (both from around this time last year and older) [13:25] none have helped :( === __UNIcodeX__ is now known as UNIcodeX [13:27] jardineworks - a little more detail - in what way has it "stopped working"? [13:30] huig - have you looked at http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers I think the macbook pro has broadcom wireless but you'd have to check with the instructions here [13:32] RMJ, no sound at all. Nothing from main speakers, nothing from headphone jack and nothing from headphone/mic combo jack. [13:32] RMJ, I am on an Alienware M14xR4 laptop [13:33] RMJ, I tried a few changes to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf ... for the snd-options... but nothing seems to help [13:33] I also checked in alsamixer, and nothing is muted. [13:35] Not an ubuntu question but, I can't kiwiirc on Ubuntu [13:35] Tried both chrome and firefox [13:35] kiwiirc.com opens up but kiwiirc.com/client doesnt [13:36] jardineworks - not sure, sorry, you've done all i'd suggest so far. restart and check all the required services are running but I'm sure you've already done that! good luck. [13:38] RMJ, :( ok. I love Ubuntu but my one gripe is how crappy the sound support seems to be. This update fixes it, that one breaks it... oh it fixed again, no ... it's broken. Really frustrating. [13:38] jardineworks - never had any problems with sound myself (then again I so rarely use sound on the laptop that I probably wouldn't notice anyway) [13:38] any help with intermitent wifi using ubuntu 14.04 in a macbook pro? [13:39] jardineworks We can't get everything as free users, can we? [13:39] huig - have you looked at http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers I think the macbook pro has broadcom wireless but you'd have to check with the instructions here [13:39] RMJ: thanks, i'll take a look at that [13:39] huig - i have a similar problem with broadcom on a lenovo yoga so let me know if you find a fix (incredibly poor wifi reception) [13:46] :) [13:48] hi unixbox === moondoggie is now known as moondog [13:49] Yesterday, I tried to upgrade mysql to a newer version than came with my dist. Dependency hell ensued. I tried to install dependencies, then tried to abort. Then, I tried `sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`. Now when `apt-get` seems no long to be installed on my system. Is there anything I can do other than a complete reinstall? [13:50] you could get the .deb for apt-get and install that manually === badon_ is now known as badon [13:52] Sure. I guess my question is this: "Didn't I F things up so badly that it likely won't ever be the same? Or is it possible I can restore things to the way they should be?" === zz_Bl4ckD34Th is now known as Bl4ckD34Th [13:53] I guess it's hard to say without looking at your box. A clean install might be easier, depending on your setup, or it might be worth it to try to get your system working again [13:54] I am getting the error "error processing package sudo (--configure)" "reinstall it before attempting configuration" how do I fix it. [13:55] nrdb, i'd enable the root account first, and then just do an apt-get remove sudo, apt-get install sudo [13:56] when is 15.04 released [13:56] onla_: April 2015 === jbernal0019 is now known as jbernal [13:56] 1st of? [13:56] onla_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseSchedule [13:57] !vivid | onla_ [13:57] onla_: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. For more info see the announcement at http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1425 [13:57] Hey guys, I'm trying to mount a partition, and it keeps automounting it as /media/user12. how could I mount the partition as just /media? [13:57] oke ty [13:58] Mario___, you can change it in /etc/fstab [13:59] Oh right, completely forgot about that, Thanks a lot carter1 [13:59] np [13:59] hello there [14:03] when I do a df -h to see all the filesystems that are mounted I show some that need to be removed…how do I remove them? [14:03] carter1, ok I relogged in as root (via ssh) and did a "apt-get remove sudo" and got a very similar response... saying 'reinstall' [14:03] hello everybody, I'm starting to play a bit with packaging, I sat up a repo with mini-dinstall assigning a custom name to my packages (other than ubuntu distro names), with debian, mint and lubuntu I have no problem installing those packages but when it comes to ubuntu apt refuses even to update the packages (i guess) because of the name different to trusty. is it normale? === ehab is now known as ebadawy [14:06] hello everyone === xubuntu is now known as Guest33889 [14:07] can someone tell me if i install Xubuntu on a USB drive... is it reliable [14:08] If I want to give one of my users on my ubuntu server the ability to write to directories like root is able to, but dont want to give him root access (im guessing thats a no no) what rights would i give him? [14:08] nevermind, my mistake with slashes === Bl4ckD34Th is now known as zz_Bl4ckD34Th [14:08] Guest33889, in what way? is a term so open to interpretation. [14:09] nrdb, i had it installed on a memorycard [14:09] and i think it just went dead >* [14:09] im going to buy a usb stick, and try it that way [14:10] im just asking if it will be reliable.. like for a few months at least [14:10] until i can buy a SSD [14:12] Guest33889, I have a USB Pendrive it has been working for several months now... but I don't use it much. [14:13] is there a release lighter than xubuntu _ [14:13] Guest33889, i wouldn't rely on it for several months, and the performance won't be nearly as good as a hdd [14:13] Guest33455, lubuntu [14:13] thankx cfhowlett [14:13] Guest33889, happy2help! [14:13] not several .. maybe 2 or 3 months [14:14] btw, my nickname is pedrodias [14:14] Guest33889, why even the full Ubuntu, is only 900MB or so the smallest pendrive is about 16GB [14:14] but im on a trial xubuntu i had lying around [14:14] nrdb: they still make 2/4/8 GB drives - consider that in your assessment [14:14] 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 [14:15] so you could just install linux on a hdd and move it to an ssd when you can afford one [14:15] teward, I am not doing anything here. [14:15] carter1, that is the ideal situation, but cant afford it now [14:15] and it just died .. this is a makeshift solution [14:15] is there something like OS X's Spectacle app for Ubuntu? Easy window tiling keyboard shortcut type stuff [14:16] mekhami: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager#List_of_tiling_window_managers_for_X [14:16] 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] i guess im going to run and buy a 16gb or 32gb pen drive ... and install a fresh xubuntu [14:17] or lubuntu [14:17] mekhami, fwiw i use compiz grid shortcuts for that (having gotten attached to divvy on os x) [14:17] is the lubuntu release very poor compared [14:17] mekhami: unity can do some of that by default, use ctrl + alt + numpad to place windows in a grid [14:18] !lubuntu | Guest33889, yes [14:18] 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] ok, the pc is veryyyy old [14:18] 1gb ram [14:18] trijntje, how can i make this play nice with a single monitor? [14:18] and 3.0 intel p4 [14:18] so i guess ill stay with xubuntu that was good [14:18] mekhami: I use compiz on a single monitor, it works fine [14:18] Guest33889, lubuntu is optimized for legacy hardware [14:19] trijntje, sorry i meant multiple monitors... have yet to have coffee this morning.. [14:19] what do you mean legacy _ im portuguese btw [14:19] 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] that's a really good idea nrdb [14:19] Guest33889, Legacy = "old" [14:19] ohh ok cfhowlett [14:19] thx [14:20] it is really legacy then, lol [14:20] a Dell GX620 [14:20] 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] mekhami: I dont know a shortcut to move windows to the other monitor, I ususally use windows + S and drag them [14:22] 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] trijntje, my commands like that are moving across monitors [14:22] 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? [14:23] toromus, library "linux for dummies" [14:23] lol cfhowlett [14:23] !manul | toromus, [14:23] !manual [14:23] 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] 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 [14:24] Thank you, ubottu! [14:24] 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] yeah yeah, i get it [14:24] same trijntje [14:25] nrdb, maybe that was what wore out the card [14:25] 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] Guest33889, Maybe, quite possible, As you don't have much RAM you will most likely need a swap. [14:25] oh well...i guess ill get a 32gb pendrive [14:26] 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] toromus, python + django = most websites [14:26] toromus: it depends what you want to code for, but in general python is a pretty good place to start programming [14:26] yeah yeah carter1 i understand that [14:26] Guest33889, anything will do, you don't need much memory for the OS. [14:26] Does Kubuntu has KDE Plasma? [14:26] Sparasite, yes [14:26] Basically, I just want to get my foot in the door. Learning syntax and how code is written. [14:27] i have also a 80gb hdd ... but it has stuff in it, and i was unable to partition it to accomodate Xubuntu [14:27] Ok, thanks cfhowlett [14:27] toromus, have you heard of khan academy? [14:27] Sparasite, happy2help! [14:27] Guest33889, I picked up a whole load of 8GB drives a while back for a couple of dollars each. [14:28] can i make a partition on a hdd without erasing stuff on it _ [14:28] i cant even find my question mark, jssssus [14:28] 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] toromus, there is a series of python tutorials collected here: http://fullcirclemagazine.org/tag/special/ [14:28] even the keyboard is not right, lol [14:29] cfhowlett, so it works great with KDE & Konversation? [14:29] Guest33889, should be doable, but I would make a backup first. [14:29] Sparasite, kubuntu = ubuntu + kde. So anything KDE based should be very happy on kubuntu [14:29] toromus, as much as learning german will help you learn french later [14:30] lol nice [14:30] can i get a SATA / USB cable somewhere , humm [14:30] 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 [14:31] i have a sata hdd here , from my ps3 that went bye bye ... can i get a cable to connect it to usb guys [14:32] Guest33889; yes [14:32] thanks toromus [14:32] 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] Or if you have an External HDD, you can take it apart and switch out drives [14:32] i dont have it [14:33] you can find one on Amazon for relatively cheap [14:33] 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] ill try to find a cable to do that ... and buy the usb drive [14:33] off for a job interview [14:33] 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] wish me luck guys [14:34] Good luck, Guest33889! [14:34] have fun, maybe ill be back later with all resolved [14:39] I am getting the error "error processing package sudo (--configure)" "reinstall it before attempting configuration" how do I fix it.

[14:54] So, who has experience with Objective C (GNUstep) in Ubuntu and can help me with my "gnustep-config --objc-flags" no output problem? [14:55] 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] hello [14:55] daftykins: Uhm... [14:55] To access .onion sites? [14:55] Julia7, it's a script, so you're opening the script [14:56] what you need to do is run it [14:56] Julia7: read the second part of my sentence. it's unsafe. [14:56] carter1: How do I run it? [14:56] my server stop asking me for kernel updates after i clean up the old ones [14:56] make sure you have the script set executable [14:56] how i fix this? [14:56] Ntemis: check linux-generic is installed [14:56] daftykins: No, it's not. [14:56] and then you can just do ./tor-start-browser from the command line [14:56] carter1: I need you to teach me how to make it executable. [14:56] Julia7: hah, you have no idea :) nevermind then, enjoy [14:56] sudo chmod 770 start-tor-browser [14:56] Julia7: probably the script is not executable -> 'chmod +x start-tor-browser' [14:57] or that works too xD [14:57] Give me a minute. [14:57] Julia7: you don't double click it for it to run, it's a script [14:58] 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] carter1: minimec: EriC^: How can I make it a clickable shortcut on my desktop?

[14:59] Julia7: are you sure you need to use it in the first place? it would make your connection a lot slower [14:59] EriC^: I need it to access .onion sites. [14:59] it has to jump across 4 servers i believe [14:59] ok [15:00] Julia7: first get it running as i said [15:00] the onion is very funny site [15:00] mekhami, go to a command line and type "top" [15:00] it will give you a nice list of what's using up your cpu and ram [15:01] 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 [15:01] is there an offtopic section?

I don't understand half of what you just typed. [15:03] Julia7, you might benefit from an introductory book on linux or something then [15:03] carter1: Maybe. [15:03] just RTFM [15:04] Julia7: make an empty document on your desktop and call it start-tor.desktop [15:04] Dvine, not welcome here, ever [15:04] EriC^: Done.

[15:08] Julia7: hold on, try open with [15:08] how can I resolve it? [15:08] EriC^: I could just drag it into the text editor. I got it working now. [15:09] ok cool [15:09] EriC^: Now what? :P [15:09] Nikhil move the mouse over thz taskbar, then roll the mouse wheel [15:09] oh, I got it :) [15:09] thanks MonkeyDust :) [15:10] Julia7: paste the stuff from the link [15:10] EriC^: I already did.

[15:13] Julia7: try typing sudo cp ~/Desktop/start-tor.desktop /usr/share/applications/ [15:13] EriC^: Done. [15:13] No errors. [15:14] ok, type nautilus /usr/share/applications [15:14] then try to double click it [15:14] why can i not tab-complete dpkg -r <.deb file> [15:15] i think we have to have it launch in a terminal.. my bad.. [15:15] EriC^: It's not in there... [15:15] Oh? [15:15] Julia7: it should be there, look for TorBrowser [15:15] EriC^: I'm dumb. XD [15:15] It's there. [15:16] EriC^: But nothing happens when I double-click it. [15:16] ok, type gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/start-tor.desktop [15:17] 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] mekhami: try "dpkg -l | grep " [15:17] am trying to install webmin but i get this:Package 'libauthen-pam-perl' has no installation candidate [15:18] EriC^: This is really, really weird.

[15:25] doh! djones is already on the case. sorry for repost [15:25] I need someone to help me reinstall my OS, preferably without the aide of a CD drive since my drive has apparently failed. [15:26] mustmodify, just do a usb installer [15:26] mustmodify - boot from a USB stick which you can create using startup disk creator in ubuntu [15:27] How big of a USB stick do I need? Do I just copy the files from the ISO to the stick? [15:27] mustmodify the iso is 1GB or so [15:27] mustmodify - startup disk creator will create the bootable usb stick from the ISO - you can't just copy it across [15:28] 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] bear in mind it'll wipe that drive [15:28] 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] 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? [15:29] Julia7: in case i get dc before you're back, make the line Exec=gnome-terminal -e "bash -c '/home//tor...bla/star-tor-browser; bash'" it should launch it in a terminal and leave it open after it's done [15:29] ok I'll look for a 1.5+GB flash drive. [15:29] Julia7: if you're using xubuntu replace the terminal with xfce4-terminal etc. [15:30] EckyEcky: disconnect and use scp -r user@remote:path/directory local/destination/path [15:31] 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') [15:32] if i want to get latets ruby version in trusty, is it save to use this ppa https://www.brightbox.com/blog/2015/01/05/ruby-2-2-0-packages-for-ubuntu/ ?

It was the official intel driver if it's a needed info. [15:54] sudo apt-get install rvm [15:54] boriseto: your chance of rolling that back cleanly is minimal without ppa-purge... [15:54] sudo rvm install ruby [15:54] iirc [15:55] soee [15:55] sudo apt-get install ruby 2.2.1 [15:55] 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] Is the latest version [15:56] ah, libc6-i386 was what I needed :) [15:56] is there a way to change module driver for specific ethernet device ? [15:56] 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] Hanom1960, wrong solution, as 2.1.1 is not in the repos [15:57] mmm, i install it version in Parrot Sec Os [15:57] Hanom1960: it is not vailable in archive i think [15:57] oh, apparently you can't xD [15:57] Hanom1960, please do not mix other OS solutions with ubuntu, this is confusing [15:57] jajjaajajaj [15:57] soee, did you try sudo apt-get install rvm [15:57] 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 [15:58] please save me [15:59] carter1: E: Unable to locate package rvm [15:59] 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 [16:00] soee, sorry, you have to install some stuff to get it [16:00] sudo apt-get update [16:00] sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core curl libmysqlclient18 nodejs [16:00] actually, here's the website i was using to do it [16:00] http://www.the-tech-tutorial.com/install-ruby-2-1-0-and-ruby-on-rails-4-0-2-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ [16:01] i did something like that to get it going on my box [16:04] thanks minimec - i have tried to blacklist specific driver in blacklist, but after a reboot it is still being used by a nic [16:07] mcphail, ty [16:07] lmkone: Try to find the module dependencies with 'modinfo yourdriver' and blacklist them all, hoping that you blacklisted not too muxh... ;) [16:08] hi, i cannot install libglu1-mesa-dev on 14.04.2 can anybody help?

[16:12] noobUser not sure if anyone of us uses widgets [16:12] italian, using italian layout, but eng as default language [16:12] 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] i mean programs from ubuntu software center [16:13] 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] ok I look there 1mom [16:14] i think the problem is related with programs using wxWidgets, every other program runs perfectly [16:14] nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf?

[16:16] hello [16:16] lmkone: regarding 'step back': experience with that driver. [16:16] lmkone: Did you run 'depmod' after you blacklisted the driver. Maybe 'sudo depmod -a' helps.

It seems like it fails to do it for this remote ftp server( always timeout) [16:19] My FTP client connects fine to it [16:19] minimec - just to make sure - after i rmmod i can always go back to it with modprobe right ? === h is now known as Guest89913 [16:20] in server 10.14 shell (i'm complete noob) how do i get out of the < prompt [16:20] How can I reset my password with a UEFI boot machine? Several guides have said I need to boot into rescue mode, but that's not presented in my grub2 menu [16:20] lmkone: Exactly. You just remove and load modules. [16:20] > prompt sorry, [16:21] noobUser: glad you got it fixed. The whole ibus thing confuses me greatly [16:21] blah! I messed up /etc/fstab and restarted. How can I correct it? I tried to boot into repair mode but it says "Read-only file system" [16:21] do it manually [16:21] enter the command mode of grub [16:21] slewfoot2xm: what program is giving you the > prompt? [16:22] LeelooGirlOnline: I believe that's what I did. [16:22] and it should work.. what is wrong? [16:22] mustmodify, remount the root filesystem in rw mode [16:22] mustmodify: easiest way is to boot from live usb and edit from there [16:22] hi, is there a way to play Clash Of Clans on Ubuntu? [16:23] LeelooGirlOnline: Ah. I'm in grub but haven't remounted. [16:23] hi is anyone familiar with bitbake? at one do_configure stage, it errors out saying: "error: GNU libc requires kernel header files from Linux 2.6.32 or later to be installed before configuring." the headers I have are 2.6.18 any way to force or get around it? [16:23] DreamThief: Thanks,. [16:24] LeelooGirlOnline: thanks [16:24] yxa: what distro are you running if you have a 2.6 series kernel? [16:24] you're welcome [16:24] anyone? [16:24] mcphail i'm running ubuntu 12.05.4 [16:25] ChunkzZ1, is that a windows game? [16:25] ChunkzZ1: erm just use an android emulator? [16:25] but i'm trying to build openpli for a settopbox [16:25] minimec : ok, one more thing, how can I make one of my nics use different module driver? [16:25] ChunkzZ, ask the game publisher to release a linux version [16:25] OerHeks, it's a game from app store and ios [16:25] baum, how? [16:25] yxa: if it needs later kernel headers, doesn't it need later kernel functionality? [16:25] if so, buy a iPhone? [16:25] hello [16:26] i just joined the community [16:26] ChunkzZ1: 1) install an android emulator 2) start the emulator 3) install the game 4)run the game 5)buy all the items with your real money 6) profit (for the "game") [16:26] Does one ask to play andorid games on IOS too? [16:26] or ask the developer to release Linux version [16:26] no need to be funny OerHeks [16:27] simple question, I was hoping for a simple answer. [16:27] hence even my phone got an android emulator.... [16:27] yxa: you can, of course, install an upstream kernel (and headers) quite easily. Type "/msg ubottu kernel" for help [16:27] Chbest answer came from cfhowlett [16:28] the easiest way should be to bug a phone [16:28] ChunkzZ1, Civ V was released for Ubuntu over steam [16:28] ChunkzZ1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=android+emulator+linux&t=canonical [16:28] Get that, and you'll have a much better game xD [16:29] anyone have any ideas why my laptop running 14.04 reboots instead of shutting down? [16:29] or just type "telnet www.ateraan.com 4002" into your favorite console... [16:29] 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] it should be a hardware issue.. [16:30] RMJ, seems like an ACPI setting in your bios [16:30] OerHeks - thanks. it's a new problem so what might have caused the change? [16:30] it is not a problem with ubuntu [16:30] btw, by chance anyone is aware of a good CLI based mail-client? [16:31] baum, mutt, alpine [16:31] mutt? [16:31] check the arch wiki [16:31] they have a programs index .... [16:31] Mandeep_Singh: thanks [16:32] LeelooGirlOnline: yep arch is great....guess i have to give it another try :) [16:32] carter1, ? [16:32] I just meant they have a better wiki [16:33] LeelooGirlOnline: a better wiki and a better system =P [16:33] whether you are using arch or not ,the wiki helps you sometimes [16:34] Whoo hooo! Got my projects directory back, saving hours of stupidity. [16:34] hi guys, i had read that mint is based on ubuntu but how should i choose between them? [16:34] LOL for many people yes.... [16:34] AssassinsMod, i've run both, there's not a lot of difference, it's mostly just visual [16:35] try them both out and see what you like the best [16:35] AssassinsMod, mint is not supported here. choose ubuntu! [16:36] OerHeks, that solves it then! [16:36] Trying to automate kernel upgrade, how can I tell apt-get to use the package maintainer's menu.lst ? [16:36] instead of prompting [16:36] ubuntu offers mate-desktop too, so no need to switch [16:37] mate is the evolution of gnome? [16:37] mate is a gnome2 fork [16:37] mate is gnome2 look on gnome3 [16:38] isn't ubuntu given out with unity or something like that? [16:39] yes [16:39] AssassinsMod: there is also Kubuntu, Lubuntu and so on... [16:39] mate is not gnome3. cinnamon is gnome3 [16:40] now i'm lost [16:41] what's Ubuntu Developer Tools Centre ? [16:42] i believe it's called make now [16:42] OerHeks - tried acpi=off in GRUB but just disabled wifi, didn't seem to fix the problem of the reboots sadly [16:42] it's supposed to allow "easy installation" of frequently used developer tools [16:43] which is to say, android studio and eclipse [16:43] RMJ, boot into your bios and see if there's an option to restart automatically that got switched on [16:43] those brackets don't bode well [16:43] AssassinsMod, you're not a developer though, so it's not a big deal [16:43] 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 [16:44] hrm, that's really weird [16:44] Is there a way to tell apt-get to re-install a package? [16:44] carter1, if you say so [16:44] 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] Joel: yes, apt-get install --reinstall package [16:44] Joel: why, though? [16:45] Fuchs, menu.lst didn't get updated to use the package maintainer's version. [16:45] AssassinsMod: just stick to vim, it works like charm :) [16:45] Fuchs, passing in -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" as well [16:45] Joel: hm, you can try the re-install, I guess. [16:46] does even change anything from 14.04 to 14.04.2? [16:47] AssassinsMod: think of that like the "servicepacks" on windows [16:47] all i'm getting now is a freeze on shutdown at wait-for-state stop/waiting [16:47] k1l_, then updating through update manager/shell = installing the new version? [16:48] 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] Fuchs, sadly, that didn't seem to work as I expected :\ [16:48] AssassinsMod: its just a "point release". not a new version. [16:48] k1l_, i have installed in dual-boot ubuntu 14.04 that's why i'm asking [16:49] AssassinsMod: just run the updates. that will bring you to 14.04.2 [16:49] and beyond! [16:50] what's the best(?) desktop environmend (or the one you prefer)? [16:50] AssassinsMod: just choose yourself. if you ask 4 guys you get 5 answers [16:51] i know gnome, kde, cinnamon and unity (though only their name), can changing ti create issues? [16:52] ubuntu can handle several desktop at once. just choose what to be used on the login screen [16:53] ok my problem just fixed itself. one of those best-not-ask-why issues. thanks for the assistance carter1 & OerHeks [16:53] k1l_, thats kind of awesome... [16:55] im having a hard time installing wine in ubuntu 14.10 [16:55] have unmet dependancies and it says there are broken packages [16:56] has anyone else had problems installing wine in 14.10? [16:56] !ask | andybrine [16:56] 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 [16:57] thanks SchrodingersScat, thats the question [16:57] Do you know how to install wine in ubuntu 14.10? [16:58] sudo apt-get install wine [16:59] this is the error i am facing wine1.7 : Depends: wine1.7-i386 (= 1:1.7.38-0ubuntu1) [16:59] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [17:00] I have not broken packages and im using ubuntu 14.10 64 bit [17:00] andybrine: sounds like you're 'holding' packages. [17:00] holding packages? [17:00] andybrine: "dpkg --get-selections | grep hold" in a pastebin please. [17:01] there is no output from that command jullian [17:02] andybrine: okay, how about the output of "dpkg -l | grep ^h" [17:03] there is no output from that either === skcin7_ is now known as skcin7 [17:03] andybrine: okay, and you' [17:03] ve done an 'apt-get update' before trying to install? [17:03] join #ubuntu-devel [17:03] Does somebody uses PlayOnLinux? [17:03] yea, I have done that [17:04] andybrine: have you tried a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" first? [17:04] If yes how can I access Winetricks in a Virtual Hard Drive in PlayonLinux??? [17:05] I will run it again now [17:05] I dont see it?? [17:05] still getting that error [17:07] Do you think I may have a repo missing? [17:07] andybrine: it's possible.... [17:07] Kali_Yuga: you don't need winetricks on POL [17:08] thanks for your help julian-delphiki, if it helps I did upgrade from 14.04 [17:09] andybrine: this appears to be your problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/548454/why-am-i-unable-to-install-wine-1-7 [17:11] How could I output only the current cpu usage in terminal? [17:11] the command "top" i guess [17:11] jq-: there are multiple commands. What sort of output are you wanting. [17:11] 'top' is a common one (ctrl-c to exit) [17:12] julian-delphiki: I know about top. I just want to output only a percentage though. [17:12] there's also 'w' which shows the load average and what users are logged in [17:12] thank julian, thats what is strange I have no packages to fix [17:12] it just says I have broken packages [17:12] 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] did you run the commands at the bottom of th thread? [17:12] im going to do a reboot brb [17:13] andybrine: odd... try `apt-get -f install && dpkg --configure -a` [17:13] 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] qwe__: netcat? [17:13] olen: `sudo kill -9 760` [17:13] sounds familiar, probably, ty [17:13] and then try again [17:13] u the real mvpp [17:16] im back [17:16] andybrine: okay, try `dpkg --configure -a` and `apt-get -f install` [17:16] julian-delphiki: now i get "userdel: user plex is currently used by process 1497" ps -aux tells me this about it "plex 1497 0.4 0.3 2392636 50072 ? SNl 18:01 0:03 Plex Plug-in [com.plexapp.system] /var/lib/plexmediaserver/"... ls shows me "ls: cannot access /var/lib/ple*: No such file or directory" [17:17] 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] andybrine: is the above output the full output of apt-get install wine1.7; or did you leave out some lines? [17:18] olen: I'm imagining there's like a service you need to stop. "sudo service plexmediaserver stop" [17:18] and then try removing the user and packages. [17:18] I will create a pastebin for the output [17:19] go the output sudo service plexmediaserver stop [17:19] stop: Unknown instance: [17:19] Same output from userdel [17:20] here is my full output: http://pastebin.com/WMY4Mh7f [17:20] i personally think I have a broken install of ubuntu [17:20] andybrine: did you run the things at the end of the SO thread julian copied you? [17:21] andybrine: pastebin: apt-cache policy wine1.7 wine1.7-i386; [17:21] yea, I did run them both and got no output [17:21] both? there were like 6 or so [17:22] olen: hmm maybe it's a different name. I'm not sure what the service name would be [17:22] !info wine1.7 [17:22] Package wine1.7 does not exist in utopic [17:22] Hm [17:22] I have run all the commands ppf [17:22] : i think its correct, when i do sudo service plex tab tab i get it so [17:23] I upgraded from 14.-04 last night and have some other small errors as well [17:23] everytime I change my shell theme and reboot, it goes back to the standard theme [17:24] totally different than wine but think the upgrade skrewed something up [17:24] olen: have you tried rebooting? [17:25] ye but found out how i could remove it [17:25] Do you think its worth running a fresh install? [17:26] what's the result of for the policy query? [17:27] heres the result of the policyL [17:27] : http://pastebin.com/DrS58tTR [17:28] andybrine: alright so it's there, what errors do you get if you try to: sudo apt-get install wine1.7-i386:i386; [17:29] that works I think [17:30] I have an unmet dependancy of libsane but I can install that I think [17:30] andybrine: can you pastebin it? [17:30] !pastebinit [17:30] 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 [17:31] Here is the pastebin from the last command: http://pastebin.com/JLEK9p6y [17:32] 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 === ubuntu is now known as Guest31376 [17:33] still getting errors trism [17:34] I will pastbin it again [17:34] andybrine: yes what are they? [17:35] Here it is: http://pastebin.com/WV0nLUDy [17:35] I just dont see why I have to jump through soo many hoops to install wine [17:35] andybrine: what is your architecture? i386? [17:35] it installed perfectly in 14.04 [17:35] im ob 64bit [17:35] andybrine: you have an issue with the i386 packages somewhere, got to track it down [17:36] 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] andybrine: usually it is easier to just follow the path of broken packages than search through the debug info [17:37] dpkg --print-foreign-architectures [17:37] ppf: he already has the i386 arch that isn't helping [17:37] 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] thats my latest pastebin: http://pastebin.com/uWenQxjn [17:38] andybrine: already [17:38] its strange though as it doesnt matter which version of wine i try and install it is the same [17:38] sudo useradd -d /home/testuser -m testuser [17:38] Is there a way without entering homedir path? [17:38] yea, that is the latest trism. Im getting quick at this now :) [17:39] andybrine: sorry, alright: sudo apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes install libvpx1:i386; it's going to be alot of output [17:39] thanks for the hepkp I do appreciate it [17:39] apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" install linux-image-3.13.0-48-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-48-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-48 - This STILL prompts me if I want to use my menu.lst, or the package maintainer's, any idea how to get it to just use the package maintainers? 14.04. [17:41] Unity just started lagging really badly pretty much whenever i open a new program or switch programs using the launcher bar. When I use just one peogram no problems come, otherwise I need to wait about 30 seconds for the lag to stop. Top shows low cpu use with or without the lag. [17:41] yikes, that is a lot! [17:41] lol [17:41] Here goes: http://pastebin.com/BcrXN7Hk [17:41] I know if I restart it will be fixed but is there any other process I could look for that might be causing it? [17:41] it doesnt look healthy :s [17:42] Having problem with connecting to wifi internet in university in Ubuntu (Dell XPS 15). Anybody could help?

[17:45] ioria: I cannot connect to wifi properly in university [17:45] Here is the output: http://pastebin.com/axBMRAYa [17:46] andybrine: or in fact we may want: apt-cache policy libavcodec56; I want to figure out what ppa the 6:11~beta1 version is from [17:46] rockstar_, are you low on battery ? [17:47] ioria: I'm not in low battery, it happens everytime. I followed this https://wiki.albany.edu/display/public/askit/Connecting+to+WiUAlbany+-+Linux+-+Detailed [17:47] http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages [17:47] thats the repo [17:47] do you need a pastebin? [17:47] I dont think I have the universe repos which is strange [17:47] rockstar_, do you have a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file ? [17:48] ioria: I do [17:49] andybrine: do you have any other ppas besides wine? [17:49] yea, I have a lot of other ppas [17:50] hey [17:50] andybrine: wait a sec: what is: apt-cache policy libvpx1:amd64 libvpx1:i386; [17:50] when i plug headphone i still hear the sound from speaker why is that? How can i fix that?

[17:53] andybrine: yeah that's fine we want to go back to the repo version [17:53] ok, here goes! :) [17:53] Its installed now [17:53] any answer [17:54] shall I try and install wine again [17:54] andybrine: now try: sudo apt-get install wine1.7; again [17:54] andybrine: yeah [17:54] ioria: did it. It is still trying to connect [17:54] trism!!!! YOU ARE A LEGEND!!!!! [17:54] Thats installed now :) [17:54] andybrine: excellent [17:55] well it is installing [17:55] Joel: Why would it want to be using old Grub1 menu.lst when Ubuntu uses GRUB2 ? [17:55] another quick question [17:55] this may be part of the cause [17:56] in synaptic I check repos and all the old repos say disabled from upgrade [17:56] yet I have enabled them [17:56] rockstar_, iwconfig is ok ' [17:56] ? [17:56] I am concidering removing old repos and reinstalling them [17:57] andybrine: They will have been backed up to files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory with extension of .save [17:57] ioria: I'm not very experienced with ubuntu. How do I check if iwconfig is ok? [17:57] yeah [17:57] thanks genii :) [17:57] Wine is not installed! [17:58] genii, without the menu.lst the instances don't boot, no idea why. [17:58] I dont know how you did it trism but that was awesome! [17:58] ioria: ok I just did iwconfig. It says no wireless extensions. but one wlan0 [17:58] 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] Joel: Must be some End-Of-Life version you are running. [17:58] rockstar_, your wireless is not configured or it's not recognized [17:59] 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] ( either that or it was continuously upgraded from a GRUB 1 booting system and never got GRUB 2 installed ) [17:59] ioria: my wifi works in home though. How can I fix/configure it? [18:00] hi [18:00] rockstar_, is it working at home ... with you router ? [18:00] ioria: yap, it is working perfectly in home wifi [18:01] yea, thats good [18:01] Im going to remove all my ppas and add them again [18:01] yppa manager should sort that (If I can install it) lol [18:02] rockstar_, ifconfig ? [18:06] is there a way to remove all old ppas? [18:07] !ppa-purge | andybrine [18:07] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:08] I was looking at removing multiple ppas at once [18:17] genii, I know the grub2 is marked as a beta version [18:17] genii, grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-9ubuntu1 === qwerty is now known as Guest90386 [18:19] What exactly does xbindkeys do, and how?

Thanks for the info! :) [19:19] 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] not sure how well owncloud would work with a dynamic DNS service you see [19:20] daftykins, I have a DNS entry with dynamic DNS that will update if it detects my address change.

Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969 [19:21] ojwop: this is not our responsibility i'm afraid. you may need to install Windows to update the BIOS. [19:22] 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] 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. === erlon_away is now known as erlon [19:23] exit [19:23] jhutchins: yeah, IP changes tend to differe in the rest of the world though ;) here they are on every connection. [19:23] 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] 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 [19:24] lol [19:24] shreezbot: "rsync -av /path/here /path/there/" :D [19:24] therefore asked here maybe someone can clarify [19:25] ojwop: it doesn't matter then, download it, burn it or throw it on a flash drive - and then boot from it [19:25] it's OS independant, just happens to be labelled up as Windows because Lenovo.

[20:16] 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 :) [20:17] 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] 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.. [20:18] 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] So not only does it ruin the install, but it also ruins your usb image [20:18] 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 [20:19] sta7ic: The hard drive order is dependent on your motherboard and bios.

Did you ask in ##programming or ##C++ ? [20:20] usewy: That's not really an Ubuntu support question [20:20] genii, thanks for stating the obvious... the sun is larger than the moon... [20:20] if answer thanks [20:21] sta7ic: may well be the case in mini.iso... haven't used it myself, thus [20:22] ObrienDave, im going to double check, you sure its in the mini.iso? [20:22] my name is Danny [20:23] sta7ic, i'm sure you're complaining rather than looking for the proper option [20:23] daan38: Hi. #ubuntu is the place for Ubuntu support, if you're just looking to chat, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic :) [20:23] ObrienDave, im sure you dont know and just wanna be difficult [20:23] 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 :) [20:24] sta7ic: The mini uses the same installer code as the other installers. [20:24] 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 [20:25] Let's see, download install and configure all packages to /dev/sdb, but lets grub install /dev/sda! genius! [20:25] sta7ic, obviously you have nothing better to do than complain about FREE software [20:26] ObrienDave, my time is worth money, so its not free now is it.. [20:27] sta7ic: so... just file it as a bug anyway, nothing to beat the wall about [20:27] bprompt, im not, im just retoring fat daves useless banter because thats what excites him in this channel [20:28] i bet he uses that 'free code' line quite a bit.... [20:28] 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 [20:29] dont get me wrong its not really a problem it just bit odd [20:29] sta7ic: quit with the personal attacks [20:29] sta7ic: ahhh... I see... it was sorta noticable anway, k [20:29] 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] Trudko, just click ok like the rest of us [20:30] so that is common ? how is that? [20:30] it is because Ubuntu is too edgy? [20:30] Trudko, it's also because you're using graphical stuff, which isn't as stable [20:31] what do you mean by graphical stuff? [20:31] 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] like, a server with command line only will be much more stable than a desktop with a gui === olli_ is now known as olli [20:31] ive mounted an iso. what command do i use to copy everything to a folder? cp *.* ~/download/folder? [20:31] hey guys, is it possible to create lvm partition with ubuntu-vm-builder ? [20:31] carter1: well sure but that doesnt really address the issue [20:31] gueriLLaPunK, no that would only copy files with a "." in them [20:32] carter1, thats not true in my opinion, GUI stuff has been stable for a long time..although maybe not much on compiz [20:32] gueriLLaPunK, just do * [20:32] gueriLLaPunK: yes... include the -r for recurse [20:32] thank you guys [20:32] 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] pbx that is true generally [20:33] sta7ic, i guess it just comes down to what you mean by stable [20:33] gueriLLaPunK, cp -r /path/to/mountpoint/. ~/download/folder [20:33] yeah, ubuntu is very stable, but a CLI is just going to be more stable [20:34] thanks EriC^^ [20:34] where do I enter the *? [20:35] gueriLLaPunK: if you use the mounted directory as the argument, you don't have to use the global * [20:35] gueriLLaPunK, if the iso has directories or any sort of depth best to use cp -pR * /path/you/want [20:35] thanks guys [20:35] gueriLLaPunK, if you use * you won't copy hidden files [20:35] EriC^^, ah i see. so by using . at the end, it means "everything?" [20:36] 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] it means the current directory [20:36] cool [20:37] Trudko, are you using cpu scaling? [20:38] k1l lsb_release -d yields Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS [20:38] sta7ic: no idea [20:38] !paste | judget put it all there please [20:38] judget put it all there please: 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. [20:39] 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 [20:40] he [20:40] uname -a yields Linux myandroid1 2.6.32-66-generic-pae #132-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 1 18:51:21 UTC 2014 i686 GNU/LInux [20:40] hey [20:40] Trudko, its dynamic so you can bounce them up and down at your discretion and its usually installed by default on ubuntu especially if you have 'speed step' enabled in ur bios, etc.. [20:41] ls [20:41] sta7ic: thats done automatically right ? I have 4510U from intel [20:42] !rootirc > root____3 [20:42] root____3, please see my private message [20:42] ok so someone was helping me earlier ... and had said that if I get myself into a recovery bootup on my problematic laptop they'd finishe halping me [20:42] anyone recall who it was?? [20:42] Trudko, your gunna have to read about it and check ur bios and then check ur system to what ur running, i think default is the ondemand governor [20:42] ubottu how do i read pm? [20:42] root____3: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:43] delinquentme, way to keep notes.. [20:43] sta7ic: well sure but I would hope for more user friendly approach , I guess there arent any official plan to improve this [20:44] sta7ic, i did ! lol ... on the machine which is taking a poo =[ [20:45] k1l sorry see this pastebin i have remarked out most of it to try to eliminate errors here is paste url http://paste.ubuntu.com/10663748/ [20:47] i'm running linux mint 64 bit and i tried installing usbutils [20:47] then it asked me if i wanted to remove a bunch of packages [20:47] is this normal? [20:47] !mint [20:47] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:47] iamaway: sorry, not supported in here [20:47] oh [20:47] :/ okay [20:47] judget: the old-releases at the end are wrong [20:47] judget: and hardy partner needs to be commented [20:48] what does the {u} at the end of a package name mean [20:48] is that linux mint specific <_< [20:48] do you know what they sghould be? [20:48] iamaway: if you use linux mint please ask in the mint channels for support. they should know their system [20:49] ...alright [20:51] and its our fault, you're a moron who writes down info he wants to save? i doubt you even wrote it down, laziness will cost you everytime [20:51] ^^ sta7ic why are you PMing this? [20:51] judget: i found this, that should be a regular one. https://gist.github.com/deanperry/1745916 === nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire [20:55] daftykins: I can use efibootmgr to change the order, disable entries, and such, but the firmware itself only allows for HDD, Optical, ... to be set. [20:55] how to I do something like apt-get update 2>&1 So that there is no output. [20:55] OK So Ive been troubleshooting my laptops behavior for the last hour ... and I ran into a bunch of issues where programs would just repeatedly fail ... we're talking chrome to firefox [20:56] and now unity isn't booting up [20:56] Im sitting at a black screen with only my mouse ... after I log in [20:56] suggestions as to wehre I should go next? [20:56] I tried apt-get update >> /dev/null 2>&1 ; still gives output [20:57] Hello guys [20:57] delinquentme, just joined but that sounds like a compiz or lib unity error. [20:57] Regardin the authentication mechanisms project [20:57] delinquentme: see what dmesg and syslog in /var/log tell you about errors [20:57] BenBE: but definitely the *disk* and not 'windows boot manager' yeah? [20:58] which protocols should prevail ? (OAuth2, Persona, X.509) [20:58] !best ? [20:58] BradyForM: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:58] the work for OAuth2 and X.509 seems to be extensive [20:58] k1l i will try that and let u know thanks [21:00] delinquentme, why would chome or firefox fail? any error msg to go with that statement? hardware issue? [21:00] delinquentme, what type of error/failure? [21:00] hi all [21:00] hiya [21:01] delinquentme, is this a hardware issue or did you just happen to try and do a dist-upgrade or a kernel recompile? did this issue just happen out of the blue with no changes made? [21:01] sta7ic, out of the blue [21:01] delinquentme: see the logs [21:02] delinquentme, sounds like a hardware failure.. does dmesg say anything with errors or fatal? [21:03] join /#crouton [21:03] how o find whitch of my progrom has root access by terminal [21:04] can i ask you something ? === amir_ is now known as Guest93034 [21:04] i have a fresh install of 14.04.2 x64 ubuntu [21:04] and cannot install the fglrx driver [21:04] but it is a well known bug... [21:05] amir use htop ? [21:05] my problem is the high cooling fan activity on amd 6970 graphics [21:06] amir_ ps aux |grep root also would do the trick [21:06] amir_, you can check which processes are running by a specific user, is that what your lookign for? [21:07] hi all, i just spun up a new instance with ubuntu 14.04, previously was using 12.04, i have an application that writes to /dev/log and with ubuntu 14.04 this unix socket doesn’t seem to exist? [21:08] k1l i modified my sources.list.default to be the one you advised but when i do a sudo apt-get update it looks like it is still using the old list ??? [21:08] judget: its /etc/apt/sources.list not.default [21:09] how can i determine where hte syslogd unix socket is located? [21:09] its possible im mounting incorrectly ... but im getting complaints of a bad superblock on /dev/sda1 ... when I attempt to mount the disk using $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 media/internal [21:10] delinquentme: what file system is on it [21:10] delinquentme, what type of filesytem is it? [21:10] ext4 ... but oddly enough *not* specifying the filesystem type allowed it to mount [21:10] delinquentme: have you booted into a live session yet? [21:10] delinquentme: if it was guessing it wrong that could be a problem [21:10] delinquentme, run like fsck.ext4 [21:10] delinquentme: hence why asking [21:11] * ObrienDave hang out just to see what happens next LOL [21:11] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/internal [21:11] daftykins, ! Im up and running w a live session [21:11] and just mounted the HD [21:11] fsck will not make superblocks magicly work [21:11] delinquentme: sudo apt-get install pastebinit smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit [21:12] delinquentme: i'll be back in 2 mins, link me :> [21:12] kk [21:12] hi [21:12] k1l on this system sourses.list is symlinked to sources.list.default [21:13] sources.list is symlinked to sources.list.default [21:13] i can blow away the symlink and rename the file?? === Guest93732 is now known as EriC^^ [21:15] judget: never heard of linking that sources.list [21:15] judget: did you change there something? === dave is now known as Guest12992 [21:17] app store basically just copied open source repositories [21:18] daftykins, same issue as before with complaints about SMART not being enabled ... Im on a ThinkPad and I believe they're not called the same thing [21:18] delinquentme: SMART is SMART everywhere in the world. or do you mean you couldn't find a relevant option in the BIOS? [21:18] so I did some googling and i believe its switching the SATA HD from ICAU [21:19] from what? [21:19] this is how i found it [21:19] daftykins, right . nothing was labeled directly as "SMART" [21:19] delinquentme: what about the command it suggests to run? [21:19] i switched it from ICAU to 'compatibility' [21:19] do you mean IDE? [21:20] daftykins, ok wait so I got it to work. $ sudo smartctl -s on -A /dev/sda [21:20] let me pipe another paste [21:20] vewy gewd [21:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10663975/ [21:21] k1l and i blew away the symlink and renamed sources.list.default to sources.list and when i do a apt-get update it still looks like it is using the old list [21:21] hi [21:21] ls -l [21:21] judget: can you pastebin it? [21:21] yeah there cool ok so that looks useful daftykins [21:22] sorry k1l pastebin what? [21:22] the resulkts od sudo apt-get update? [21:22] delinquentme: hmm not quite the standard output i see, does the normal "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda" work now? [21:22] judget: the command and output [21:22] judget: and is there a /etc/apt/sources.list.source ? [21:22] ave [21:23] we are legion! [21:23] who's good with HDMI and resolution issues? [21:23] 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] Bushman: just ask, on one line, with details [21:24] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664003/ dafty < [21:25] 198 Offline_Uncorrectable 0x0008 100 100 000 Old_age Offline - 0 [21:25] ??? [21:25] delinquentme: ok disk looks fine. so, what were the mounting issues? [21:25] daftykins, should I run tests? [21:25] nope [21:25] k1l there is a file /etc/apt/sources.list [21:25] daftykins, pebkac [21:25] it is the opne you pointed me to [21:26] delinquentme: ok so just your package management issues left on your install huh? [21:26] 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? === tcpman is now known as Guest68131 [21:26] daftykins, yeap. Same behavior ... except now it doesn't get any further than a black screen after i login [21:26] 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] delinquentme: sounds like graphics driver woes potentially - do you happen to know your 'card' and driver? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [21:27] judget: please put the output into a pastebin and link it here. so we can see what is going on [21:27] but zero windows and no backgrounds [21:27] 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] daftykins, would that lead to the crashing behavior I was experiencing for both firefox and chrome? [21:27] delinquentme: don't know but one step at a time [21:28] delinquentme: anywho boot back into your install and try the guest session [21:28] delinquentme: if that works it's just your user's config [21:29] 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] 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. [21:30] so I dont think it was anything having to do w user configs ... but let me try the guest session [21:30] whats the best AV solution for ubuntu? [21:31] daftykins, nvidia NVS 5400m graphics w optimus tech [21:31] !virus | Scorpionoidea [21:31] 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] delinquentme: wouldn't hurt to pop off and run a bout of memtest from the live flash drive then [21:31] anyone here familiar with how to deal with defunct (zombie) processes on ubuntu? it appears that upstart doesn't handle them properly [21:31] yeah i ran memtest once and it failed [21:32] lemm retry [21:32] if you dont have an AV in ubuntu how do you know there arent any virus? [21:32] Scorpionoidea: AV products do exist. [21:32] 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 [21:33] also, the notion of 'virus' is very antiquated, malware is what is predominant these days [21:33] kk so yeah im running the internal lenovo memtory diagnostics test [21:33] 'quick memory test [21:33] ' [21:33] delinquentme: memtest'd be miles better. [21:33] rootkits? [21:33] !memtest | delinquentme [21:33] !rkhunter [21:33] i remeber thats what they call them in linux [21:34] 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] Scorpionoidea: see my last message [21:34] Scorpionoidea: no they are different things [21:34] * ObrienDave *sighs* and ROFL [21:34] rootkist isnt malware? [21:34] white_wing: which graphics card? [21:34] Nvidia 555M [21:34] Scorpionoidea: no rootkits and viruses are not the same. [21:35] kk daftykins k1l_ running memtest [21:35] delinquentme: ok, 2 passes minimum [21:35] Scorponoidea, plus you have sudo asking for root permission every 5 secs when trying to do anything usefull. [21:36] Scorpionoidea: There are rootkit checkers and there are intrusion detection systems. [21:36] Scorpionoidea: Best defense is an admin who knows what's going on on the server. [21:36] best defense is to not be a moron [21:36] that usually goes a long way [21:37] server? [21:37] moronity is relative (: [21:37] So is knowledge [21:37] scorpiono, yeah your server, even though its a desktop, its a server [21:38] not to be confused by ubuntu desktop, and ubuntu server =] [21:38] i dont want to be serving anything [21:38] its still a server more or less [21:38] daftykins, im on my first ... and I've already got 4 red failing lines [21:38] im egotist like that :) [21:38] delinquentme, not a good sign. good thing laptop memory is cheap [21:38] daftykins, is the fix ' go buy new memory [21:38] ? [21:38] delinquentme: oh dear, your RAM is bad [21:38] delinquentme: this a laptop yes? [21:38] daftykins, yeah [21:39] PNY [21:39] ram = cheap [21:39] is the brand. and yeah sta7ic its certainly better than a mobo or CPU [21:39] delinquentme, i wonder if your having like a motherboard failure, start out with ram, and keep the receipt [21:39] 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] is this just crap luck or is PNY a crappy ram company? [21:40] delinquentme:yes [21:40] delinquentme, try re-seating the ram modules first [21:40] daftykins, yeah already tried that. booted. still same issue [21:40] bgest ram is kingstone [21:40] so I should try removing the other [21:40] imo [21:40] delinquentme, blow out the dust like old NES games [21:40] delinquentme: if you have two, run memtest with one in at a time [21:40] delinquentme: ram dies all the time, no big deal [21:40] daftykins, +1 smart. [21:40] daftykins, is it then even worth finishing this test? [21:40] elky: maybe if you rub it on your cat before every boot :) [21:41] scorpionoidea, pretty sure i dont see kingston on any RAM benchmarks =] [21:41] benchmarks? [21:41] sometimes what you win in performace you lose in stability [21:41] 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 [21:42] guys, lets stick to ubuntu support in here. we have #ubuntu-offotpic for the other talk [21:42] but yeah kingston or corsair, its a laptop. no one cares about laptops anyways =] [21:42] *as im trying to get my laptop to work* [21:42] corsair sucks [21:43] OCZ [21:43] STOP please. [21:43] if you need preformance [21:43] ki1l here is paste you requested http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW [21:43] k1l here is paste http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW [21:44] if you using amd go with AMP if intell go with XAMP [21:45] Scorpionoidea: enough trolling now. please stop it [21:45] scorpiono, corsair vengence has a 4.7 rating on amazon 5 stars and newegg, and it sucks? [21:45] Scorpionoidea: i'm afraid every statement you've made is both off topic and completely wrong :) [21:45] sta7ic: stop it please. go to #ubuntu-offtopic like we told you [21:45] your opinon [21:46] judget: please pastebin the output of "ls -alR /etc/apt" somehow there are some karmic repos on your system [21:47] k1l did u see last pastebin ?? http://pastebin.com/arQDFJjW [21:48] daftykins Nvidia 555m [21:49] judget: yes, and did you scroll down? apt-get update uses some karmic repos so there is something really messy on that system. [21:50] white_wing: first run "sudo apt-get purge nvidia* " to restore it to working [21:50] Hi [21:50] crontab is not working on ubuntu, */1 * * * * /root/backup.sh [21:51] k1l here is paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664174/ [21:51] daftykins, errors in ram cant be isolated huh? solution is just to buy more? [21:51] judget: is this a server or a desktop? [21:51] k1l surprised with the new sources.list to still have karmic repos [21:51] daftykins That's to restore the original resolution right? [21:51] k1l server [21:52] i suspect it may have had a failed update at some point [21:52] judget: there are karmic sources in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [21:52] judget: i would suggest to remove karmic.list and karmic.list.distUpgrade in there [21:53] white_wing: that'll go back to what i suspect will be the intel driver only to restore things to default, yep [21:53] daftykins thanks! :) [21:54] I just made a screencast with Kazam. It's output is mp4. How can I most easily convert the mp4 to GIF? [21:54] mp4 to gif? ouch [21:55] is anyone here familiar with cgroups? [21:55] gunna be one huge gif [21:55] Nikesh, im sure there are some conversion programs out there, did you look? [21:55] sta7ic: There should be some way to compress/reduce the quality. The video is like 4 seconds [21:55] 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] sta7ic: Yes but none mentioning mp4 [21:56] k1l removing them seemed to fix the apt-get update [21:56] judget: ok. "sudo do-release-upgrade" then [21:57] Hello [21:58] Nikesh, well why not convert it to something those sites do like, and go from there? [21:58] k1l yes im doinmg it now seems to be getting farther along now [21:58] can i buy you a beverage? [21:58] k1l [21:59] 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] judget: no thanks i am fine :) just donate to your favorite OSS project if you want to do me a favor :) [21:59] Do I have to add something to my bash profile? [22:00] I will I always do my project is learnubuntunow,org [22:00] im sorry learnubuntu.org is my project [22:00] 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] Sorry, not rsa keys, just keys... [22:01] i have no keyboard on my other PC..... how do i enable on screen keyboard (mythbuntu) [22:01] swine_ [22:01] Anyone know why ffmeg is no longer available? [22:01] Sorry, [22:01] Cipher45: wut? [22:01] Nikesh: avconv is the fork that is used from debian and ubuntu [22:02] shreezbot, that should be fine, what are you using to ssh, terminal or putty? [22:02] terminal [22:02] anyone know how to solve my problem? [22:02] swine_ I accidentally tabbed to you instead of someone else [22:02] ah [22:03] is no one at all familiar with cgroups? :P [22:03] mr [22:03] *me [22:03] Cipher45, I'm using terminal. I'm able to use putty no problem, but terminal isn't working for some reason.. [22:04] 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] 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] Cipher45, I'm storing them in .ssh [22:05] Cipher45, ~/.ssh [22:08] good evening. i've just installed an nvidia-driver, now my system doesn't boot anymore (freeze with splashscreen) [22:08] is there a boot-option to boot it with the open source nvidia-driver? [22:10] !nomodeset | Bundestrojaner [22:10] 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 [22:11] Question: When I boot I get the welcome audio, but once I log in I have no sound. What could cause this? [22:12] 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. === KRS1 is now known as KRS-1 === tcpman is now known as Guest66498 [22:18] shreezbot: You need to add them to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file [22:18] rypervenche, I've got them added to the authorized_keys file [22:18] rypervenche, I actually just completely disabled password logon and it does fail on the password. [22:19] rypervenche, I'm trying to troubleshoot why now... [22:19] shreezbot: Your permissions may be wrong then. Please pastebin the output of your SSH command with -vv [22:21] Hey [22:21] :P === rww is now known as rwwbuntu [22:23] toxic: If you have some question regarding your Ubuntu best to just ask the channel in general and then see if someone can help :) [22:24] rypervenche, http://pastebin.com/Pq3cCRR4 [22:25] shreezbot: Did you give your key a different name or did you hit enter for the default path? because there are no default keys [22:26] I just installed backbox 4.1 I'm totally not confused on how to use it lmao. [22:26] 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] Wondering what the best way might me to investigate a memory leak in Xorg while the system is running? The process is pulling 5.6GB, and Xorg.0.log is now 1.2GB, so I can't even effectively open it. The --tail messages from it are http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664385/ === rwwbuntu is now known as rww [22:26] how can i - in recovery mode - get write-acces on the hdd? [22:27] shreezbot: Then you must use -i and the path to the private key [22:27] Bundestrojaner, sudo mount -o remount,rw /mountpoint [22:27] rypervenche, -i on my ssh command? [22:27] EriC^^: thx [22:27] shreezbot: yes, or create a config so you don't have to [22:28] rypervenche, Holy shit! That worked! :) [22:29] rypervenche, So there is a way I can make it so that I don't have to use the -i switch? [22:29] yes, you'll want to create a ~/.ssh/config file [22:29] toxic: Might want to check out their documentation at http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/BlackboxDocumentation [22:30] Yea, I'm on the official website now :) [22:30] Update: I think the X memory hoarding may be related to this program running in the background. https://github.com/leszakk/orient/blob/master/orient.cpp [22:31] 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] shreezbot: Each on a separate line. [22:31] Awesome! :) [22:31] shreezbot: then just type ssh foo [22:32] If you need further help, send me a PM. [22:37] daftykins,wanna know some crap ? [22:37] I swapped the placement on the rams ... and they're now running well behaved. [22:37] lol [22:42] hi [22:45] delinquentme: one of them probably got unseated then [22:51] Hi [22:52] 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. [22:57] 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... [22:58] thanks genii [22:59] btw this netbook is ubuntu certified :p [22:59] so it says the sticker hehe [23:00] OK so it turns out that while the ram is seemingly OK... something is still taking a poo [23:00] also ... if the RAM were faulty ... wouldnt I be having issues with the live boot CD as well? [23:03] 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. [23:06] 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. [23:09] 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... [23:10] 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] now these *were* tools I was messing around with [23:10] but that seems totally unrelated to the everyting was crashing error I had earlier [23:14] Think what you think but i will think what i wanna think and my thinking is great kthx [23:15] who am i [23:15] a troll ;p [23:15] lol [23:15] doh [23:16] lets do a infini some [23:17] * ObrienDave reminds himself to not irritate k1l_ ;P [23:18] twss [23:19] delinquentme: pastebin? [23:19] ... dmesg, that is [23:19] svetlana, sos dmesg gets rewritten each time I boot into a machine right? [23:20] maybe stored in dmesg.1, i forget [23:20] so if /var/log/dmesg has errors ... that will be *the* most recent errors on that machine [23:20] delinquentme: yes [23:20] the get cycled to .1 .2 etc after every reboot [23:21] cool TIL@ [23:21] ok so then yeah this is totally an issue associated w a modification I made to a program called supervisor [23:21] what did you do? [23:22] svetlana, k1l_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/10664726/ [23:23] the user whos configured to run the service via supervisor ... I guess isn't there? [23:25] delinquentme: you said you changed something before that errors happend. so what did you do? [23:26] k1l_, well that was changed ... say last night ... and the machine had booted just fine prior [23:26] what changed? [23:28] 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] im not sure ... but its kind of curious that dmesg.0 fails at the exact same spot [23:28] no? [23:28] k1l_, nothing really eventful happened between the bootup earlier today ... and where its at derping right now [23:29] i was messing around with postgresql and python scripts [23:29] but the error with flask shown in dmesg was certainly something I had touched on === ehab is now known as ebadawy === alejandro is now known as Guest68348 [23:32] say I installed something with apt-get on a machine ... and now I've mounted that machines root HD ... [23:32] 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] how do I uninstall that thing I installed from a liveboot cd / mounted root filesystem ? === Hexeon|2 is now known as Hexeon [23:32] k1l_, nah the live boot behaves pristinely [23:35] greetings everyone [23:35] hello pi [23:35] pi_user_84: welcome [23:35] pi_user_84, where are you from ? [23:36] hey [23:36] 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] moldo: keep it related to ubuntu support please [23:36] lotuspsychje, ok [23:36] !sudo | aouki [23:36] 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 === Ian is now known as Guest55179 [23:37] !root | aouki [23:37] 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] hey [23:38] 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] delinquentme: purge? [23:38] delinquentme: use a chroot [23:39] ive never used chroot before [23:39] !chroot | delinquentme tnx to k1l_ [23:39] 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 [23:40] 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... [23:41] n [23:41] teh_the: there should be 2 options in sound, hdmi and speakers [23:41] how do I use a USB-to-serial cable to access a console interface on a device in Ubuntu [23:42] right that's what I thought lotuspsychje but there isn't [23:42] teh_the: did you try to 'mirror' both screens, tv and pc? [23:42] so I guess it's missing something :S [23:43] !sound > teh_the [23:43] teh_the, please see my private message [23:43] i need a good site where i could learn linux command lines easily. Do you guys have any link please ? [23:44] moldo: what commands? [23:44] thanks [23:44] not mirror no [23:44] k1l_, all commands [23:44] all basic commands [23:44] teh_the: you might wanna look in syslog and dmesg also when you try the hdmi [23:44] moldo: start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:45] Oy [23:45] k1l_, thanks [23:45] :) [23:45] teh_the: wich output shows 'only' in your sound options? [23:46] 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] moldo: Another : http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux . [23:47] Bashing-om, thank you ! :) [23:47] teh_the: hdmi or speakers output show? [23:48] teh_the: did you try a reboot with hdmi branched in pc also? [23:48] lotuspsychje its the speakers [23:48] built-in audio [23:49] no I did not since its kinda of working [23:49] I thought it could be some driver related issue [23:49] teh_the: you can try sudo lshw -C sound and check whats behind driver= [23:50] Question: Can anyone give me clues about which package I should install in the following situation: [23:51] To start, when I run When I run $ /tools/emulator-x86 -avd Your_AVD_Name -qemu -m 2047 -enable-kvm (with my variables) [23:51] I get : SDL init failure, reason is: No available video device [23:53] lotuspsychje driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0 [23:53] looks good? [23:53] teh_the: should be good yes [23:53] weird... [23:53] teh_the: try a tail -f /var/log/syslog and fool around with hdmi a bit unplug/plug === sysop is now known as Guest33252 [23:56] rexbutler: maybe you need libsdl ? [23:56] should I see something happen when pluggin or unpluggin because nothing shows up =/ [23:57] teh_the: try the same with tail -f /var/log/dmesg maybe [23:57] can I run ubuntu with a GNOME3 de and uninstall unity? [23:58] !nounity | gr1zzlybe4r [23:58] 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] !nounity? [23:58] gr1zzlybe4r: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:59] lotuspsychje: Do you know which package I need?
