| lotuspsychje | rexbutler: not sure if this is your case exactly, but you can try | 00:00 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje sorry but nothing =/ | 00:00 |
| teh_the | I'll try a reboot with hdmi connected | 00:01 |
| teh_the | doh! nothing still only have one output that is the built-in speakers | 00:04 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | so can i uninstall the unity de now? | 00:06 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | i'm on GNOME3 | 00:06 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: can you try to start the 'sound' icon from dash | 00:06 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje is that the sound options? | 00:09 |
| NTQ | Hi. I just git a weird problem with Ubuntu Gnome 14.04. I simply restarted my system (since 7 days) and now it logs me in as user 'gdm'. Normally there should be a login screen where I can log in as user 'nicolas'. | 00:09 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: yes sound options icon, maybe hdmi shows from there? | 00:10 |
| teh_the | nope it doesnt | 00:10 |
| NTQ | I can type CTRL+ALT+F1 to switch to a console and login as user 'nicolas', but the graphical user interface always logs in as user 'gdm'. | 00:10 |
| teh_the | already said that it only shows one output option | 00:10 |
| teh_the | and that's the built-in speakers | 00:11 |
| teh_the | :( | 00:11 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: wich ubuntu version did you have again? | 00:11 |
| teh_the | 14.04 LTS | 00:11 |
| rainbowwarrior | hello I am running Ubuntu 14.10 and my external wd usb hard drive has errors and I was wondering what is the best program to use to fix them with please? | 00:12 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: maybe this can help? http://itsfoss.com/fix-sound-ubuntu-1404/ | 00:12 |
| lotuspsychje | rainbowwarrior: what kind of errors? | 00:12 |
| NTQ | At the moment I am running on user 'gdm' and a clean firefox profile | 00:13 |
| rainbowwarrior | lotuspsychje :- mismatch | 00:13 |
| teh_the | thanks lotuspsychje will read trhough :) although my problem is only for the hdmi audio | 00:14 |

| Serdar | Hi | 00:16 |
| Serdar | I lost my ssh connection while installing with apt-get and the tty is stil open, is it possible to get this tty to front? | 00:16 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: maybe the pavucontrol from this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/112512/ubuntu-refuses-to-output-audio-via-hdmi | 00:17 |
| NTQ | My home is actually /var/lib/gdm? | 00:18 |

| rainbowwarrior | hello I am running Ubuntu 14.10 and my external wd usb hard drive has errors and I was wondering what is the best program to use to fix them with please? | 00:22 |
| Serdar | somsip, looks strange but works, thank you | 00:23 |
| somsip | Serdar: np | 00:24 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | does the external hard drive have the same file system that you're using on ubuntu? i've had problems with that before | 00:26 |
| Serdar | hmm strange thing with grub-install it says that /dev/md0 does not exist, but ls shows it clearly. | 00:30 |
| yeowza | Where does the .bashrc file go? | 00:31 |
| Serdar | ls -la | 00:31 |
| Serdar | everything with a starting dot is not visible | 00:32 |
| yeowza | I'm running archlinux ARM, not sure where to put my .bashrc file | 00:32 |
| svetlana | homedir? | 00:32 |
| Serdar | use tilde | 00:32 |
| george | why isnt compiz preinstalled? | 00:32 |
| yeowza | oh crap, wrong channel, sorry | 00:32 |
| Serdar | does compiz still exist? | 00:33 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | touch ~/.bashrc | 00:34 |
| gr1zzlybe4r | and then edit it from there | 00:34 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje again thanks but it didn't work... but worst after doing that I had no sound at all | 00:38 |
| Serdar | I get this the whole time: Writing GRUB to boot device failed | 00:38 |
| teh_the | now deleted the lines and audio is working as before built in speakers | 00:38 |
| NTQ | Has anyone an idea why Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 always logs me in as the user 'gdm' instead of showing me a login screen? | 00:39 |
| daftykins | NTQ: what are you looking at to believe you're called gdm? :) | 00:40 |
| hwut | holle | 00:41 |
| NTQ | daftykins: If I go to "Files" my home folder is /var/lib/gdm. | 00:41 |
| hwut | holle frecel | 00:41 |
| teh_the | this is really messed up | 00:41 |
| daftykins | NTQ: that is most definitely broken :) | 00:41 |
| NTQ | daftykins: I just restarted my system and now Ubuntu loged me in as the user 'gdm'. | 00:42 |
| daftykins | NTQ: are you sure this was a normal installation from USB flash drive or DVD, from an official ISO? | 00:42 |
| teh_the | oh sorry lotus didn't noticed ur other link will read now :) | 00:42 |
| NTQ | daftykins: My Ubuntu runs since april 2014 without problems. | 00:42 |
| daftykins | as in this same install? i dont know what you're saying | 00:43 |
| wheresmypaaants | Well, my computer appears to have a boatload of issues .-. - I fixed my issue from yesterday, and this one isn't necessarily pressing, however it is a bit of an annoyance. While using the Live CD for Ubuntu, I have perfect resolution on the boot screen and in the shells (F1, F2, etc...), however, once installed and booting from SDD, the resolution is zoomed in heavily. I have fixed this by changing the settings in GRUB, howe | 00:43 |
| wheresmypaaants | the Live CD | 00:43 |
| NTQ | daftykins: After 7 days uptime I wanted to restart my system. I am able to switch to an other console via CTRL+ALT+F1 and I can log in as the normal user 'nicolas'. | 00:43 |
| daftykins | NTQ: ok so just your GUI has gone funny, have you enabled auto-login or something? | 00:44 |
| NTQ | daftykins. Autologin is disabled. I always have to type in my password for login. | 00:44 |
| daftykins | so when you boot up you are already staring at a password entry box? no user selection? | 00:45 |
| NTQ | I also have installed Ubuntu Mata 14.04 on an other partition. This one works well, but it is just a test system with the same home partition. | 00:45 |
| daftykins | hrmm mixed homes, ok | 00:46 |
| NTQ | daftykins: Sure. Normally I have to choose the user, then password and login. But now Ubuntu logs me in without any prompt. | 00:46 |
| daftykins | NTQ: this is a very drastic move, but just as a test - log in at a TTY and "mv ~/.config ~/.configold" then restart | 00:47 |
| daftykins | and see if it makes any difference | 00:47 |
| NTQ | daftykins: You mean the .config from the normal user, not gdm | 00:48 |
| daftykins | correct | 00:48 |
| daftykins | though perhaps i'm barking up the wrong tree | 00:48 |
| dhrosa | does anyone have tips for utilizing a not-always-available filesystem as a cache to speed things up? I have a server with 4GB of RAM, and I have a desktop with 32GB of RAM that is sometimes on. I thought it would be a cool idea to expose part of my desktop's RAM as a remote-mounted ramdisk for the server | 00:49 |
| dhrosa | the latency and throughpout would be faster than a spinning disk filesystem | 00:49 |
| daftykins | not over a LAN it wouldn't | 00:49 |
| dhrosa | the ping between the two is 0.2ms | 00:50 |
| NTQ | daftykins: I am available as NTQ2 on my smartphone. I just moved the folder and now i restart. | 00:50 |
| daftykins | or just get an SSD (: | 00:50 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje pavucontrol did the trick :) thanks | 00:50 |
| dhrosa | I'm also considering an SSD, the server's an old laptop of mine | 00:50 |
| dhrosa | I might see if I can replace its dvd drive with a second SSD | 00:50 |
| teh_the | still only one output appears on audio settings but i can select hdmi output on pavucontrol | 00:51 |
| teh_the | weird stuff | 00:51 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | teh_the | 00:51 |
| ubottu | teh_the: Glad you made it! :-) | 00:51 |
| NTQ | daftykins: It did not help. | 00:52 |
| teh_the | would be nice they fixed this problem | 00:52 |
| daftykins | dhrosa: if the server is being a proper server, so doesn't have X installed, 4GB shouldn't pose a problem to too much | 00:52 |
| teh_the | thanks guys ubottu lotuspsychje | 00:52 |
| daftykins | NTQ: ok, that's annoying | 00:52 |
| NTQ | daftykins: Again I was logged in as user 'gdm'. | 00:52 |
| teh_the | this should be fixed without 3rd party tools i think | 00:53 |
| dhrosa | daftykins: "free -h" reports 2.9G used, and -/+ buffers/cache lists 2.2G used, that means 2.2GB is being used as FS caches, right? | 00:53 |
| dhrosa | if so that's pretty good then I guess | 00:53 |
| teh_the | ..ermm I'm guessing this pavucontrol is 3rd party | 00:53 |
| NTQ | The partition is correctly mounted, because I can log in as user 'nicolas' in an other console and I see the home directory of that user. | 00:53 |
| daftykins | NTQ: does it make any difference if you log in to TTY1, then run "sudo service gdm stop" then "...start" ? | 00:54 |
| dhrosa | also, how can I tell if my DVD drive is a sata device from the command line? my laptop doesn't provide a serice manual, so I can't just refer to that | 00:54 |
| NTQ | daftykins: I'll give it a try | 00:54 |
| drose379 | Anyone had the issue where random letters in the toolbar (Top of apps) are missing? | 00:55 |
| drose379 | Different each time the computer starts up | 00:55 |
| daftykins | dhrosa: typically they're one screw to take out anyway, if it's a removable one | 00:55 |
| drose379 | Like today Im missing "G" | 00:55 |
| drose379 | Earlier (before I restarted) I was missing all sorts of letters | 00:55 |
| daftykins | dhrosa: "free -m | pastebinit" | 00:55 |
| NTQ_ | daftykins: Again I am logged in as 'gdm'. | 00:55 |
| dhrosa | pastebinit sounds like an upstart or systemd kind of thing almost :) | 00:56 |
| dhrosa | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10665295/ | 00:56 |
| dhrosa | a pastebin-based init replacement | 00:56 |
| daftykins | NTQ_: does this apply? http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t5.htm | 00:57 |
| daftykins | dhrosa: so does this system have X running? | 00:58 |
| teh_the | lotuspsychje should I report this officialy somehow? Maybe someone already did, but I mean this is happening on a LTS version | 00:58 |
| dhrosa | daftykins: it might accidentally, I've installed some things that might have had an X dependency, but it doesn't have a proper desktop manager or anything | 00:58 |
| dhrosa | I'm not explicitly using X on it | 00:59 |
| NTQ_ | daftykins: I could try to enable automatic login for the standard user. | 00:59 |
| lotuspsychje | teh_the: not sure mate sorry | 00:59 |
| daftykins | NTQ_: or just find the config file and see if it's got anything in it | 00:59 |
| daftykins | dhrosa: i wouldn't be concerned about the RAM usage there anywho | 00:59 |

| ubottu | abeyr: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 01:07 |
| daftykins | abeyr: what bug? | 01:07 |
| abeyr | daftykins, when i play a opengl 3d game, cs source for ex, the system crashes | 01:08 |
| teh_the | ..now it wouls be cool to add a shortcut incon for Pulse Audio Volume Control right next to the clock | 01:08 |
| abeyr | daftykins, the fans 100%, the led lights blinking, and finally the system shutdowns | 01:09 |
| daftykins | laptop? | 01:09 |
| abeyr | daftykins, yes | 01:10 |
| daftykins | so not necessarily a bug but - you're experiencing an issue? | 01:10 |
| abeyr | daftykins, nvidia gpu | 01:10 |
| daftykins | yeah i caught that | 01:10 |
| abeyr | daftykins, some people say it is an ACPI bug | 01:10 |
| abeyr | daftykins, some others say it is a nvidia bug | 01:11 |
| daftykins | abeyr: installed the latest BIOS? which nvidia driver? bumblebee or nvidia prime? (not 3 questions there) | 01:12 |
| abeyr | daftykins, i am using the last one BIOS, the nvidia driver version is 346, ubuntu 15.04 | 01:13 |
| daftykins | abeyr: ok, then you have to talk in #ubuntu+1 since that is not out yet | 01:13 |
| abeyr | daftykins, with nouveau drivers the system stay normal | 01:14 |
| abeyr | daftykins, even when playing opengl 3d games | 01:14 |

| teh_the | thanks guys | 01:25 |
| teh_the | bye | 01:25 |
| outlaw-666 | i did a fresh install of Xubuntu14.04 ... but i have really low RAM 1GB ... and i was not asked to make a swap ... wasnt it suppose to ask me to do it ? | 01:26 |
| kush22 | halloooo | 01:26 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: depends if you selected manual partitioning or not | 01:26 |
| outlaw-666 | no, just install | 01:27 |
| daftykins | sure there's only one partition? "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" | 01:27 |
| outlaw-666 | do i need to redo the install ... or can i creat a swap now ? | 01:27 |
| daftykins | depends how good your partitioning skills are :) | 01:27 |
| outlaw-666 | sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:28 |
| outlaw-666 | oops | 01:28 |
| wlodpolm | i recommend partd magic ultimate boot cd has the last free version still i think | 01:28 |
| outlaw-666 | 1 1049kB 79,0GB 79,0GB primary ext4 boot | 01:28 |
| outlaw-666 | 2 79,0GB 80,0GB 1062MB extended | 01:28 |
| outlaw-666 | 5 79,0GB 80,0GB 1062MB logical linux-swap(v1) | 01:28 |
| daftykins | so you do have swap | 01:28 |
| daftykins | also, don't paste here | 01:29 |
| outlaw-666 | but wasnt it supposed to be like 2GB ? | 01:29 |
| daftykins | nope | 01:29 |
| outlaw-666 | yeah, i know if it a big paste ill get muted | 01:29 |
| outlaw-666 | so ... i do have a swap, and its the size of the disk ? | 01:29 |
| daftykins | size of the RAM | 01:30 |
| outlaw-666 | oh right, another GB | 01:30 |
| daftykins | type "free -m" | 01:30 |
| OerHeks | swap is the size of all adressable memory, ram, videoram, cahce and such | 01:30 |
| OerHeks | that is why it is bigger than 1024 | 01:30 |
| outlaw-666 | daftykins, ok i did .. and ? | 01:31 |
| daftykins | see how it says swap and RAM? | 01:31 |
| outlaw-666 | 1 1049kB 79,0GB 79,0GB primary ext4 boot | 01:31 |
| outlaw-666 | 2 79,0GB 80,0GB 1062MB extended | 01:31 |
| outlaw-666 | 5 79,0GB 80,0GB 1062MB logical linux-swap(v1) | 01:31 |
| daftykins | *facepalm* please stop pasting | 01:31 |
| outlaw-666 | lol ok sorry guys :/ | 01:31 |
| outlaw-666 | but .. since i have only 1gb .. shouldnt i have a bigger swap to help RAM ? | 01:32 |
| daftykins | if you even go into swap it's a bad sign | 01:32 |
| daftykins | just use it | 01:32 |
| wlodpolm | swap file is meant to be used. | 01:32 |
| wlodpolm | it's just we aren't efficient | 01:32 |
| daftykins | hmm i don't fancy touching that conversation if you want to say that :) | 01:33 |
| wlodpolm | think of it this way, if you don't have a flea market how does a person get duplicate items on a low income? | 01:33 |
| outlaw-666 | well... the problem is ... that i had the xubuntu installed in a memory card ... and i cant remember if i had the swap area on it ... but i have a feeling i did, and today it died | 01:33 |
| daftykins | if you put swap on a memory card it's going to die | 01:34 |
| daftykins | they are not designed to tolerate it | 01:34 |
| OerHeks | Without swap no hybernate https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 01:34 |
| outlaw-666 | so i had a SATA hdd here .. i went to get a external hdd case, and now i have it to accomodate xubuntu | 01:34 |
| wlodpolm | that too | 01:34 |
| outlaw-666 | yeah, i think thats what killed my memory card | 01:34 |
| outlaw-666 | someone before told me to get a SSD and a HDD | 01:35 |
| wlodpolm | a SSD is good for video | 01:35 |
| outlaw-666 | and to never place the swap on the SSD as it will eat it up on the long run | 01:35 |
| OerHeks | SSD's can handle swap fine these days. | 01:36 |
| OerHeks | and trim is also enabled by default | 01:36 |
| wlodpolm | the only reason i can think of for a home user to use a SSD is to load 3-d games and movie processing | 01:36 |
| outlaw-666 | so you guys think that i have the install the best way to improve performance of this Legacy GX620 ? | 01:36 |
| superherointj | Guys. Ubuntu needs to stop breaking video graphics, I have a nvidia GTX 780 Ti video card. And I can't use it. It breaks every week. | 01:36 |
| superherointj | I've just allowed Ubuntu system update and now video is broken. | 01:37 |
| outlaw-666 | btw ... i have a feeling that this old processor, is 64bit able ... | 01:38 |
| outlaw-666 | can i be sure ? | 01:38 |
| wlodpolm | type inxi but don't paste it here | 01:38 |
| OerHeks | outlaw-666, tons of tweaks to go through https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/first-xubuntu | 01:38 |
| outlaw-666 | k wlodpolm | 01:38 |
| OerHeks | lscpu | 01:39 |
| outlaw-666 | it said i dont have that program | 01:39 |
| dhrosa | I'm having a headache trying to intrepret SSH remote/local post forwarding | 01:39 |
| outlaw-666 | it displayed that it handles 32 and 64 | 01:39 |
| wlodpolm | add it? it is the tool i use on linux to get stats on hardware | 01:39 |
| dhrosa | I have a machine behind a VPN. I'd like to expose the VPN'd machines port 100 (example), as port 100 on my server (which is accessible over ssh) | 01:40 |
| OerHeks | lscpu lsusb lspci dmidecode are standard and enough i guess | 01:40 |
| outlaw-666 | whats the main difference between 32bit xubuntu and 64bit xubuntu ? | 01:40 |
| outlaw-666 | and which is faster on this old machine ? | 01:40 |
| dhrosa | outlaw-666: you'll get better performance and access to more memory on 64-bit | 01:41 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: running 64-bit would consume more RAM on your system, so i'd advise against it. | 01:41 |
| outlaw-666 | daftykins, thats what i thought | 01:41 |
| outlaw-666 | i know i can have more than 3GB | 01:41 |
| outlaw-666 | but my MB wont support more than 4 ... and i dont have them now | 01:41 |
| dhrosa | sorry, assuming you're not memory-constrained, 64-bit architectures are more performant | 01:41 |
| outlaw-666 | so.. i guess 32 will stay | 01:41 |
| outlaw-666 | no problem dhrosa | 01:42 |

| Danielbrazilian | please i would love some advice | 01:43 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: no | 01:43 |
| outlaw-666 | ok :D | 01:43 |

| daftykins | Danielbrazilian: waste of time | 01:44 |
| outlaw-666 | ok .. but with this swap installed at the install procedure, im ok, right ? | 01:44 |
| outlaw-666 | even if its just 1gb | 01:44 |
| daftykins | just use your computer and see how it goes :) | 01:45 |
| daftykins | i think you're worried for nothing | 01:45 |

| daftykins | although if this OS is installed on a memory card, alarm bells are ringing | 01:45 |
| daftykins | lubuntu is even more lightweight i think yes, but it's also a lot uglier in my personal opinion | 01:45 |
| daftykins | use what works for you | 01:45 |

| outlaw-666 | the trouble is that i kinda like xubuntu, i have it a few months now | 01:47 |
| outlaw-666 | and it never got me bored waiting | 01:48 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666, lubuntu = ubuntu with lxde. so: install lxde and test it. OR go the insanely complicated way you just described. :) | 01:48 |
| Danielbrazilian | cfhowlett, i didn't install from there, i will try | 01:48 |
| outlaw-666 | cfhowlett, so i just install lxde and login with another release ? | 01:49 |
| Loshki | I want all sound on my ubuntu server to be redirected to a remote ubuntu desktop. I've only ever seen this work with rdp to a windows server. VNC seems to do everything I need *except* audio. Is there some pulseaudio magic? Does NX support this? | 01:49 |
| outlaw-666 | is that possible ? | 01:49 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666,"releaase"? NO. same ubuntu, different desktop environment. | 01:49 |
| outlaw-666 | ohhh ok | 01:49 |
| outlaw-666 | yeah, they are all ubuntu | 01:50 |
| cfhowlett | Danielbrazilian, https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads | 01:50 |
| outlaw-666 | and will the lubuntu desktop environment make this piece of sh*t faster ? | 01:50 |
| Danielbrazilian | cfhowlett, thank you | 01:50 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666, how many times will you ask? install lxde and see for yourself!!!! | 01:51 |
| outlaw-666 | im guessing that i will have a lot of trouble, just to find out no major upgrade | 01:51 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666, testing an alternate DE is a minor event | 01:51 |
| outlaw-666 | yeah, i guess im just used to xubuntu | 01:52 |
| outlaw-666 | nevermind i asked | 01:52 |
| outlaw-666 | good thing you guys educated me on the 64bit part | 01:52 |
| outlaw-666 | i saw a website, that is displaying a top 24 things to do after install | 01:53 |
| outlaw-666 | i think i followed them last time, it is safe, right ? | 01:53 |
| outlaw-666 | btw, im portuguese, sorry for any english grammar errors | 01:54 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666, if it's an official ubuntu website = safe. otherwise,just another opinion ... | 01:54 |
| outlaw-666 | hmm ok cfhowlett | 01:54 |
| outlaw-666 | its mainly about software updates and so on | 01:55 |
| outlaw-666 | i guess i see what interests me | 01:55 |
| Loshki | outlaw-666: which website? I like 'the perfect desktop' series. And of course, you don't have to install everything they suggest. | 01:55 |
| superherointj | Just fixed my Video Card Driver AGAIN. I hope one day Ubuntu stops breaking with updates. | 01:56 |
| outlaw-666 | Thank you very much everyone...Linux will allways rule cause of the support gaven by everyone involved | 01:56 |
| dhrosa | funny juxtaposition :) | 01:56 |
| outlaw-666 | thanks again <3 | 01:56 |
| superherointj | This is the forth time I have same issue. At least, now I know fixing. But it takes a while to get things right. I don't think the average joe is going to be able to do it. | 01:57 |
| mathu | if you install python3 on a recent ubuntu, will pip3 be included with it? | 01:57 |
| outlaw-666 | Loshki, http://www.binarytides.com/better-xubuntu-14-04/ | 01:57 |
| mathu | or would you need, like, sudo easy_install pip3 or somesuch | 01:57 |
| Loshki | outlaw-666: I just skimmed it. It looks kosher. | 01:59 |
| cfhowlett | outlaw-666, xubuntu-restricted-extras >>> yes. the rest of that list .... eh, MAYBE. | 01:59 |
| mathu | found python3-pip, nevermind | 01:59 |
| OerHeks | mathu, why, as pyton3.4 is installed | 01:59 |
| outlaw-666 | Loshki, im portuguese ... kosher means ? | 02:00 |
| outlaw-666 | lol | 02:00 |
| outlaw-666 | like cool ? | 02:00 |
| rebs | 'ok' | 02:00 |
| outlaw-666 | thx rebs | 02:00 |
| rebs | or, prepared in such a way that jews deem the food worthy | 02:00 |
| rebs | 2 meanings | 02:00 |
| outlaw-666 | lolol | 02:00 |
| Loshki | outlaw-666: kosher means ok, has passed inspection. Like Halal. No jews in Portugal? | 02:01 |
| mathu | OerHeks: oh, i thought ubuntu still used 2.7 and didn't include 3. okay | 02:01 |
| mathu | well, wouldn't hurt to tell users to run the apt-get command for it anyway | 02:01 |
| superherointj | mathu, it breaks Ubuntu! Don't do it! | 02:02 |
| mathu | haha | 02:02 |
| outlaw-666 | Loshki, none that i know .. lol | 02:02 |
| superherointj | I was just talking about it. | 02:02 |
| cfhowlett | mathu, suggesting on a beginners forum that users do stuff that breaks their system is NOT funny. | 02:02 |
| superherointj | "<superherointj> Just fixed my Video Card Driver AGAIN. I hope one day Ubuntu stops breaking with updates." | 02:02 |
| Righteous | h | 02:03 |
| OerHeks | superherointj, so if you installed the driver from the website, you will need to reinstall with every new kernel | 02:03 |
| Loshki | outlaw-666: just for completeness, it has a web page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosher_foods | 02:03 |
| superherointj | OerHeks, yes. | 02:03 |
| mathu | cfhowlett: if python3 is installed and i tell a user to run "sudo apt-get install pyhton3" then apt-get will just say it's already installed | 02:03 |
| superherointj | OerHeks, but it doesn't work otherwise. | 02:04 |
| mathu | cfhowlett: the haha was because this won't actually break anything | 02:04 |
| outlaw-666 | lol Loshki thanks for the info ... :D | 02:04 |
| OerHeks | supubuntu maybe the xorg edgers ppa with the same driver is an solution, but ppa's happen to break sometimes too. | 02:04 |
| mathu | cfhowlett: breaking other people's computers is not funny, i agree :) | 02:04 |
| OerHeks | supubuntu > superherointj | 02:04 |
| superherointj | What is "supubuntu"? | 02:05 |
| Ben64 | superherointj: what video card, what do you do to fix it each time | 02:05 |
| OerHeks | wrong chatnamecompletion with {tab} | 02:06 |
| OerHeks | !tab | 02:06 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:06 |
| sysop2 | hey has anyone here's hdmi audio out stop working? but it works in windows so I am sure its not a hardware problem. | 02:07 |
| superherointj | GTX 780 Ti. I have to manually stop X window system (sudo service lightdm stop) and "init 3" and run the NVIDIA video card graphics file (Ex.: ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-346.47.run). | 02:07 |
| sysop2 | I am running 14.10 but it started in 14.04 | 02:07 |
| delinquentme | is there an easy way that I can uninstall a program + erase *ANY* modifications its made to my file system? | 02:07 |
| delinquentme | I installed it with apt-get | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | superherointj: well thats why, don't use the package from the website if you want it to work after updating | 02:08 |
| somsip | delinquentme: you can purge but this will not remove any files you've added or amended (and the directories containing them) | 02:08 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, apt-get purge is the closest but I find that it still leaves artifacts | 02:08 |
| ObrienDave | delinquentme, sudo apt-get purge <name> | 02:08 |
| superherointj | Ben64, what if the 'standard package' doesn't work as expected? And doesn't allow the standard resolution of my monitor which is ONLY 1050. | 02:08 |
| Ben64 | superherointj: then use the xorg-edgers ppa | 02:09 |
| sysop2 | apt-file list will show you everything that was installed with the package. | 02:09 |
| sysop2 | apt-file list packagename. I mean. | 02:09 |
| superherointj | Allright. But my point is, for a 'new user', it is going to be a lot of headache this sort of behaviour. I'm installing this PPA now, let's see how it goes. | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | superherointj: you need to remove the manually installed package first | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | and adding and installing from a PPA is much easier than the nvidia.com version | 02:12 |
| superherointj | What is the command? | 02:12 |
| Ben64 | command for...? | 02:13 |
| superherointj | "sudo nvidia-uninstall" ? | 02:13 |
| Ben64 | its something like sudo nvidia-blah.blah-blah.run --uninstall | 02:13 |
| mutual | so i took out a cd that had mounted fine, and then i put in another one, but when i did that nothing happened | 02:13 |
| mutual | and now i can't get anything to happen when i insert cds | 02:14 |
| * superherointj will have to quit here. To restart. | 02:14 | |
| cfhowlett | mutual, unmount the previous CD | 02:15 |
| outlaw-666 | ok, have fun and thanks again guys, going to try and put this the way i like it ;) | 02:15 |
| superherointj | Just tried the PPA, now video graphics is broken again. lol | 02:18 |
| gwendolyn | hi! | 02:20 |
| CoolishPrune_ | Hello | 02:21 |
| superherointj | hi | 02:21 |

| CoolishPrune_ | I need help. | 02:21 |
| somsip | !details | CoolishPrune_ | 02:21 |
| ubottu | CoolishPrune_: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) | 02:21 |
| CoolishPrune_ | Hold on, mother is calling me >.< | 02:22 |
| bonhoeffer | ok — so crontab -e opens the file, but it doesn’t seem to take after saving, any options? | 02:23 |
| somsip | bonhoeffer: takes a minute to take effect | 02:23 |
| delinquentme | question: I just removed a file that I think it causing issues from /etc/init/ ... removed with extreme prejudice | 02:23 |
| bonhoeffer | ok — cool — thanks | 02:23 |
| delinquentme | is it a *big deal* if I know that file to be something I placed in there? and NOT a system conf ? | 02:24 |
| Ben64 | delinquentme: yes, you made a mistake | 02:24 |
| somsip | bonhoeffer: so change something to run on the next minute, and it might not run for up to 119 seconds, if that makes sense | 02:24 |
| bonhoeffer | wait — i’m just trying to see the changes | 02:24 |
| delinquentme | Ben64, its a conf for a file I created. ok so if I need to get it back ... how / where does it go after I run $ rm flask_default.conf | 02:24 |
| Ben64 | delinquentme: oh well if you made it thats different... normally there wouldn't be any user created files in /etc/init | 02:25 |
| delinquentme | well it was created by supervisor which I installed / configured | 02:25 |
| delinquentme | flask_default is a name of a python application I wanted to have run on startup -- and gut feeling says that there arent too many applications of that naming | 02:26 |
| dupingping | Hi | 02:28 |
| delinquentme | Ben64, so if I think that file is causing me issues .. what should I do with it instead of deleting it ... just move it? | 02:28 |
| dupingping | Which Ubuntu Release is best Seller? | 02:28 |
| Ben64 | delinquentme: i would move it, just for backup's sake | 02:29 |
| dupingping | I meant that ubuntu, edubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu and so on | 02:29 |
| Ben64 | dupingping: probably ubuntu | 02:29 |
| dupingping | Ben64, Hi, thank you. | 02:30 |
| dupingping | Ben64, Thus, where i can find this information or statistics? | 02:31 |
| Ben64 | no idea | 02:31 |
| dupingping | yes | 02:31 |
| CoolishPrune_ | So Im new to Lubuntu. I have 14.10 installed on a Dell Inspiron B130. I have no problems getting wired connectivity until now. I went to Software and Updates and then over to the Drivers tab and tried to Apply Changes to the WiFi hardware. It seemed like the process fail and I did a reboot and the second time the bar completed but never finished. I gave it about 15 minutes and rebooted again. However, now I cant even connect wi | 02:32 |
| Ullarah | CoolishPrune_, you could try #lubuntu | 02:32 |
| CoolishPrune_ | oh crap, thanks | 02:32 |
| ObrienDave | CoolishPrune_, it's ok. Lubuntu users welcome here | 02:33 |

| monkwitdafunk | hi. i would like to irc about the diffrence between desktop and server when using the same kernel | 02:44 |

| monkwitdafunk | is my answer to stay with an older kernel for my favourite 2008 hardware? | 02:48 |

| ObrienDave | acker, make sure your reading the size in the same units. some report 1M = 1000K, some 1M = 1024K | 02:52 |
| === \r\transfags is now known as EaglezHighH8H8 | ||
| * monkwitdafunk waits for input | 02:53 | |
| acker | Hmm | 02:53 |
| ObrienDave | acker, or some report 1G = 1000M, some 1G = 1024M | 02:53 |
| acker | But that doesn't shrink a 80Gb Harddrive to 74.5Gb | 02:54 |
| monkwitdafunk | brb ubuntu channel | 02:54 |
| ObrienDave | acker, 80,000,000,000 bytes = 74.5058 GB | 02:55 |
| ObrienDave | acker, hard drives are measured in 1GB = 1,000MB NOT 1024MB | 02:56 |
| acker | How comes? | 02:56 |
| ObrienDave | acker, that's just the way it is | 02:57 |
| ObrienDave | read the box | 02:57 |
| acker | That's the supidst thing I've heard today. | 02:57 |
| aeon-ltd | it's easier to label packaging when using base 10 Gigabyte instead of base 2 gibibyte | 02:57 |
| acker | But thank you... | 02:57 |
| aeon-ltd | OSX uses base 10 counting though... | 02:57 |
| acker | It's just very misleading... | 02:58 |
| dupingping | How many ubuntu users are here? And How many xubuntu users are here? | 02:58 |
| aeon-ltd | general consumers would not care | 02:58 |
| dupingping | and lubuntu? | 02:58 |
| Ben64 | acker: blame hard drive manufacturers | 02:58 |
| Ben64 | dupingping: this channel is not for taking surveys | 02:59 |
| ObrienDave | this is true, thank the HD manufacturers | 02:59 |
| aeon-ltd | dupingping: dude if you want to poll, post on a forum | 02:59 |

| shreezbot | I have a question about using key authentication for ssh and disabling PasswordAuthentication. How do you mitigate the issue of possibly having to log in from somewhere that doesn't have the public key you have? | 03:06 |

| Ricke3 | Hi all, I am trying to update my Ubuntu system and am receiving an error stating that I need to free up disk space on my /boot partition. I was wondering how I could safely expand my /boot partition in order to accommodate the update. | 03:19 |
| === lostatwork is now known as lostson | ||
| cfhowlett | Ricke3, I'd bet you've updated your kernel several times, yes? You need to spring clean the your /boot to clear out old kernels: sudo apt-get autoremove | 03:22 |
| Bashing-om | Ricke3: 14.04 + try -> sudo a[t-get autoremove <- to remove old lernels . | 03:23 |
| Ricke3 | Doing some research it seems people suggest removing old kernels but I am looking and really don't have many. This system has been only operating for a couple months so it's received less than a half of dozen updates. | 03:24 |
| Ricke3 | I will try those commands to remove though that is not needed. | 03:24 |
| cptn_drake | hi guys something weird happened to me the other day, i had two laptops open, on the same wireless network at panara bread company, and the pointer icon from th toshiba which is a 13 in screen somehow jumped to my acer 11 in screen. | 03:24 |

| Aeiortv | If I remove unity and then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, will unity be re-installed? | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | Aeiortv, no | 03:56 |
| cfhowlett | Aeiortv, unity is very much integrated into ubuntu. removing it will you a LONG list of issues. consider installing an alternate desktop environment instead: sudo apt-get install lxde xfce4 kde-plasma for example. then logout, choose an alternate ubuntu DE, login | 03:57 |
| cfhowlett | !flavors | if you see a DE you prefer, install that flavor | 03:58 |
| ubottu | if you see a DE you prefer, install that flavor: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. | 03:58 |
| Aeiortv | cfhowlett: Will I still be tracked by unity if I install an alternate DE? | 03:58 |
| xangua | Aeiortv: what is your real question¿ | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | Aeiortv, errrrrrrrrrrrr, no. no unity = no unity services | 03:58 |
| cfhowlett | !nounity | 03:58 |
| ubottu | 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 | 03:58 |

| xcyclist | Why is there both a select-editor and an update-alternatives --config editor???? | 04:03 |
| xcyclist | Is this some weird case of debian infighting? | 04:04 |
| Ben64 | no | 04:04 |
| xcyclist | Then Why? Why such a Shakespearean duplication as this on such an otherwise elegant and perfect pile of ...??? | 04:05 |
| Ben64 | its not even the same thing | 04:05 |
| Ben64 | you're basically asking - "Why is there both apples and oranges????" | 04:05 |
| xcyclist | Let me ask it another way: Is there a reasonable way to understand some logical mutually exclusive set of things covered by each of these commands to set default editor? | 04:06 |
| Ben64 | you're mistaken that update-alternatives sets the default editor | 04:07 |
| ObrienDave | Why is there both apples and oranges???? to make grapefruit juice with, silly ;P | 04:07 |
| xangua | I preffer grape juice | 04:08 |
| xcyclist | This: "update-alternatives --config editor" allows me to set the editor that comes up for things like visudoers. If it works for visudoers, why not for crontab -e? What is the reason? | 04:08 |
| Flannel | xcyclist: do you have EDITOR or VISUAL variables set? | 04:09 |
| Ben42_ | read what it says when you use update-alternatives | 04:09 |
| xcyclist | Nope. I set my default editor with update-alternatives --config editor. It works on everything but crontab -e. | 04:10 |
| xcyclist | It works, for instance, on git commit. | 04:10 |
| Ben42_ | There are 4 choices for the alternative editor (providing /usr/bin/editor). | 04:11 |
| Ben42_ | it sets what /usr/bin/editor is symlinked to, and thats it | 04:11 |
| Flannel | xcyclist: crontab -e will honor EDITOR and VISUAL variables, and then fall back to /usr/bin/editor (which is linked to the alternatives system), so I suspect you unknowingly have one of those set. | 04:11 |
| xcyclist | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-the-default-editor-from-nano-on-ubuntu-linux/ | 04:11 |
| xcyclist | Neither is set. | 04:12 |

| ObrienDave | what failsafe option are you talking about? | 04:22 |
| linuxuz3r | its running x11 desktop | 04:24 |
| linuxuz3r | not gnome shell or gnome or unity or kde but pure x11 | 04:24 |
| noteness | linuxuz3r, boot to recovery mode | 04:25 |
| noteness | then there will be an option | 04:25 |
| linuxuz3r | fail safe mode is simple to run in | 04:25 |
| linuxuz3r | X11 | 04:25 |

| clouddig | I'm running stress on my server and using mpstat to look at the CPU usage, but it doesn't appear to be moving. | 04:31 |
| clouddig | Does mpstat show actual current CPU usage or something else? | 04:31 |
| Stifler | clouddig, are you running 'mpstat -u 1' or similar? | 04:34 |
| clouddig | Stifler: I was running "mpstat -P ALL" | 04:35 |
| clouddig | After reading a bit, it seems it took the average from the time the system started. | 04:35 |
| slacka123 | /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER slacka123 cigaqvpryiai | 04:36 |
| Flannel | slacka123: again, without the leading spaces. | 04:36 |
| ObrienDave | *smh* | 04:36 |
| Stifler | clouddig, well that would be a one off reading. 'mpstat -P ALL 1' will read every second. When you CTRL-C it will show the average over the time running | 04:36 |
| xangua | slacka123: your password needs some numbers and symbols | 04:37 |
| clouddig | Stifler: I'm trying to use it to read cpu usage for a munin plugin. I'm handling the timing of the calls elsewhere, which is why I called it with no interval | 04:37 |
| Flannel | xangua: that's not a password, just a confirmation code. | 04:37 |
| slacka123 | yeah I got it | 04:38 |
| slacka123 | thanks | 04:38 |
| xangua | ooh that's nice | 04:40 |
| Stifler | clouddig, well the %usr column is the usage (probably want to look at %iowait and %idle). I dont know how munin works. | 04:40 |
| mital | hi . I have enabled selinux in ubuntu and now constantly getting logged out after logging in .. is there a way to login and disable the selinux config in recovery mode or some other way ? | 04:40 |

| === arbo is now known as arbog | ||
| Bashing-om | jennie_: ?/ What is the motivation factor ? the original problem ? Which partition do you wish to mount and access ? | 05:09 |
| jennie | Bashing-om: I've installed sox for playing songs for terminal and I want to open desired partition to play songs | 05:10 |
| jennie | now I am looking for how to play songs in sox :-s | 05:10 |
| theos | jennie why sox? mpg321 can play songs fine from commandline | 05:12 |
| jennie | alright, I just gogoled and found sox, wait I will uninstall sox and reinstall mpg321, by the time tell me command to play songs ;-) | 05:14 |
| Stifler | jennie, I dont use either but on the surface it looks much easier to use mpg321. | 05:14 |
| theos | jennie sudo apt-get install mpg321. it should be installed by default though. then type "man mpg321" to learn how to use it. | 05:17 |
| jennie | i always have trouble understanding man pages :-( | 05:19 |
| ObrienDave | they're not written for the faint of heart :) | 05:22 |
| === bella is now known as Guest27537 | ||
| theos | jennie you can mount the partition using something friendlier instead of C0DC872ADC8719B4. like data or music so it will be /media/linux/data/. you can try playing the music with "mpg321 /media/linux/C0DC872ADC8719B4/path-to-file/filename.mp4" replace path-to-file with the exact path. its fairly easy to use. | 05:25 |

| stanford_drone_ | rick__, this is not OSX | 06:30 |

| Ben64 | Andrei_: it may | 06:32 |
| rick__ | um...It seems here is ubuntu channel... | 06:32 |

| theos | rick__ http://askubuntu.com/questions/161652/how-to-change-the-default-font-size-of-xterm | 06:32 |

| cihhan | hi all! i have a question about creating a deb package. i have create one deb package with dependencies. however, when i apt-get remove my_package, the dependencies still exists. how can i stop and remove the dependencies as well? | 06:34 |
| theos | Andrei_ you can format the windows 7 partition to ext4 and install ubuntu on it if you want. no need to delete it. | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | cihhan: sudo apt-get autoremove should do that | 06:34 |
| cihhan | Ben64, Let me check asap | 06:35 |
| cihhan | Ben64, yep, it works fine. Why doesn't it remove with apt-get remove? | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | cihhan: because you told it to remove the one package | 06:36 |
| Andrei_ | theos: Okay, thanks | 06:36 |
| cihhan | and the dependencies stayed there. I see. Thank you very much Ben64, this was really very helpful :) | 06:37 |
| rick__ | theos, thanks, I got a problem that I can not specify font size with the format of widthxwidth...so I can't make it emulate 80 columns and 24 rows with fullscreen in the resolution 1920x1080 | 06:40 |
| rick__ | Does this means I need to prepare a fixed font who's size is in given width and height I want? | 06:42 |
| theos | rick__ i find xterm to be very basic. you can try gnome-terminal. | 07:00 |
| rick__ | theos, it seems xterm has better vt220 support, I need vt220 support and try many terminal program with vttest, the vtxxx emulation test program | 07:03 |
| theos | i see | 07:07 |
| theos | rick__ gnome-terminal supports vt220 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/gnome-terminal.1.html | 07:09 |
| nextbox | where do I configure kerberos authentication cache? | 07:12 |
| rick__ | theos, thanks, I try gnome-terminal, it can launch with --maximized and --geometry=80x24, but it still not adjust fontsize to match 80 columns and 24 rows, it is much larger than that. | 07:12 |

| cfhowlett | !nounity | niche | 07:42 |
| ubottu | niche: 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 | 07:42 |
| malick | somsip: i tried python but was like hell, then c++ which is not that complicated but still its like hell | 07:43 |
| cfhowlett | niche, or just do the easy thing; download your favorite *ubuntu flavor and install | 07:43 |

| klys | chotaz, deluser / adduser or modify /etc/passwd as root | 10:13 |
| prayashm | Hello. | 10:14 |

| freddyb | mcphail, ikonia: I don't know if you remember, but I had this usb hdd that really did not want to work. I made minimal progress that you might be interested in | 10:18 |
| freddyb | mcphail, ikonia: basically (on a newer kernel, which does not panic), I keep the device attached for half an hour and let it fail multiple times (spammy syslog). but after a while, the device _does_ show up. :) | 10:19 |
| chotaz | hum, changed the /etc/passwd file with sudo now after restart im locked out of my user? i have made no changes to the password whatsoever and i cant login? | 10:19 |
| chotaz | klys: there? | 10:21 |
| duckey | Is the desktop-iso the actual iso for xubuntu? | 10:23 |
| mcphail | freddyb: is the root filesystem on the usb hdd? | 10:23 |
| freddyb | mcphail: nopes | 10:26 |
| klys | chotaz, Idk, anything else on your mind | 10:26 |
| freddyb | mcphail: it's just an usb hdd (i.e. spinning disk) with an ext4 partition...contains my backups. this is on a thinkpad x250, but a custom kernel. I think we briefly talked last week | 10:26 |
| klys | try this: $ sudo passwd username | 10:27 |
| mcphail | freddyb: aah - I think I remember now. Incidently, have you tried passing alternative iommu parameters at boot? Try "iommu=pt" or "iommu=soft" | 10:27 |
| freddyb | mcphail: not at all. should I? :-) what does it do? | 10:28 |
| freddyb | mcphail: I'm already sending a few kernel parameters, because of other failures. I think intremap=no_x2apic_output is somehow IOMMU related - afaiu | 10:30 |
| mcphail | freddyb: if you're already fighting iommu issues it is worth a try. There's a few reports of this fixing badly-behaved usb drives | 10:33 |
| mcphail | freddyb: it is one of these things I can't confirm as I haven't had that problem, so take the advice with that in mind. | 10:34 |

| chotaz | So I changed the /etc/passwd file manually(silly me) and I'm currently locked out of any user that isnt Guest; I'm trying to enter recovery mode to fix this, however my dell laptop also uses SHIFT has the Lan boot key, so I'm not really able to trigger the grub menu, any other way to enter recovery? | 10:46 |
| freddyb | mcphail: ah, unix stackexchange says there may be an "IOMMU Controller" bios switch that I should try enabling before. I'll go through all of that when I'm less busy with actual work. thanks a lot. | 10:46 |
| klys | try this: $ sudo passwd username | 10:46 |
| chotaz | klys: i dont have a root password and guest can't sudo :\ | 10:47 |
| freddyb | mcphail: do you want me to come back and let you know if I've been successful? | 10:47 |
| mcphail | chotaz: does the right shift key bring up the lan boot as well? | 10:47 |
| chotaz | mcphail: both of them do :( | 10:47 |
| mcphail | freddyb: would be interesting. If I'm away I'll get it in my /awaylog | 10:47 |
| developer669 | Voodoo_Tro thank you, trying it out now | 10:47 |

| ubottu | ablest1980: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

| snebel | i would like to understand whats happening... | 13:39 |
| snebel | i guess there is a relationship with the GUI/console mode | 13:39 |

| dstarh | snebel when tomcat starts normally yes, when it starts via upstart, upstart redirects stdout and stderr to /var/log/upstart/tomcat.log | 14:14 |
| ppf | dstarh: you did run your script, though, didn't you? | 14:15 |
| dstarh | sudo start tomcat | 14:15 |
| dstarh | that should run that script | 14:15 |
| jamesarch | well i mean this page is a problem? | 14:16 |
| dstarh | it even gives me a pid but by the time I psaux it's already stopped | 14:16 |
| daftykins | ZIPY: you might get some good help over in #bash | 14:16 |
| ZIPY | ok, i will try thx | 14:16 |
| ppf | ran it manually yet? | 14:16 |
| ppf | obvious question: does the path to $CATALINA_OUT exist? | 14:17 |
| dstarh | yes it does | 14:17 |
| dstarh | the file doesn't exist but the path to it does exist | 14:17 |
| sveinse | Hi. I'm running 14.10 server, and I notice that grub and somewhere during system startup the console output changes resolution., How can I get it to stick with a resolution? | 14:18 |
| dstarh | pwd | 14:18 |
| dstarh | /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.39/logs | 14:18 |
| daftykins | sveinse: it's more the font that changes i think | 14:18 |
| deck_ | Does anyone know how to configure wireless USB via command line? I am using a Dlink DWA-123 Version 4 | 14:19 |
| sveinse | daftykins: Yes and no. It changes resolution as well. Point is, I want *one* kernel output in one fixed resolution. How? | 14:19 |
| daftykins | sveinse: what's the graphics hardware and why does it matter? | 14:19 |
| sveinse | And the screen goes black in a few seconds. Plymouth things perhaps | 14:20 |
| sveinse | daftykins: Well, I can't see all of the messages because they are hidden and it disappears when the resolution/font is changed. Annoying | 14:20 |
| sveinse | Integrated intel gfx | 14:20 |
| daftykins | hidden... how? | 14:21 |
| dstarh | ppf no didn't run it manually yet, can you execute a conf file via bash or did you mean transform it to something that would run in bash? | 14:21 |
| ppf | what kind of conf file? | 14:21 |
| dstarh | this is in an upstart conf file in /etc/init/tomcat.conf | 14:22 |
| sveinse | daftykins: Some of the log is on the graphical screen (Ctrl+7) | 14:22 |
| ppf | it sure looks like a shell script | 14:22 |
| ppf | so just try and run it | 14:23 |
| sveinse | (and I have no X11 on the server, so there is no wm) | 14:23 |
| daftykins | oh so it's not a proper server, you installed X. | 14:23 |
| daftykins | wat | 14:23 |
| sveinse | If I set grub gfx mode, it lasts for a few seconds, and then something in ubuntu is changing the resolution regardless. And the screen in black half of the time during booting | 14:24 |
| sveinse | And I find parts of the bootup output on VT7 | 14:24 |
| cxdvty | I just got a really big tv and i want my display to be on the tv but when I do most of the screen on ubuntu gets cut off. How do I fix this up? | 14:25 |
| sveinse | this is vanilla ubuntu 14.10 server without any X | 14:25 |
| daftykins | mmm, bit controversial to use a non-LTS server edition | 14:26 |
| daftykins | anywho sadly i don't understand your issue | 14:26 |
| dstarh | ppf ok i'll do that | 14:26 |

| d4g0n | are there any ADVENCED torrent p2p clients? i need gui... | 14:28 |
| sveinse | This is what I need: I want to setup a fixed resolution in grub (which is ok). When I start a machine in grub, I'd like to see all of the kernel and bootup on my console, start to finish. That it. But ubuntu server doesn't do that | 14:29 |
| timfox123 | Hello all | 14:29 |
| timfox123 | I am investigating the differences between Ubuntu and Redhat. If we install Ubuntu and need to call in for help to | 14:29 |
| timfox123 | a company ( EMC, Netapp, Software Support, Dedicated Hosting ) can pretty much any RHCE troubleshoot it without much diffaculty ? | 14:29 |
| daftykins | timfox123: nope, redhat support != ubuntu support | 14:29 |
| cxdvty | anyone? | 14:30 |
| timfox123 | can others confirm / deny this ? I know the answer but need it from others. | 14:30 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: is it on all four sides that it overlaps? | 14:30 |
| timfox123 | this is #ubuntu what better source ? | 14:30 |
| d4g0n | timfox123: ubuntu only support them apps | 14:31 |
| vexn | stupid question (i'm a newbie) deluser will delete all the files and folders and free up the space correct? | 14:31 |
| cxdvty | yes | 14:31 |
| daftykins | timfox123: well this is volunteer run, so you're not going to get official paid support commentary here | 14:31 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: what graphics hardware? you need to adjust overscan | 14:31 |
| d4g0n | daftykins: hah, sure | 14:31 |
| cxdvty | I'm not sure | 14:31 |
| cxdvty | buty its only when i change display to my big tv | 14:32 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: run "lspci | pastebinit" then | 14:32 |
| timfox123 | thank you all | 14:32 |
| daftykins | cxdvty: versus what? | 14:32 |
| d4g0n | linux using graphic card to calculating yup? its default on all graphs? | 14:32 |
| timfox123 | that is exactly what I needed | 14:32 |
| d4g0n | i have AMD radeon 512mb | 14:32 |
| daftykins | d4g0n: i am talking to the users i put the nickname of at the start of my sentences. i do not need to know what you're using. | 14:33 |
| sveinse | What changes the fonts and resolution during booting? | 14:33 |
| sveinse | And how can I get plymouth to log everyting to the console? | 14:34 |

| moniess | from fglrx or fglrx-updates | 15:29 |

| an3k | I'm running Ubuntu Server 14.04 and want to set display resolution and screen resolution for grub as well as console to 1024x768. With the default settings I get a display and screen resolution of 800x600 for grub and a display resolution of 1024x768 and a screen resolution of 800x600 for console. | 16:00 |
| an3k | I tried setting GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 but that didn't changed anything. I added GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=1024x768 but that didn't changed anything too. | 16:01 |
| an3k | I also modified /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually and set gfxmode=1024x768 and set gfxpayload=1024x768 but that also didn't worked. | 16:02 |
| an3k | I also modified /etc/grub.d/00_header (based on http://askubuntu.com/questions/18444/how-do-i-increase-console-mode-resolution/18463#18463) but even that didn't worked. | 16:03 |

| an3k | OerHeks: so GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=792" and that's it? | 16:07 |
| OerHeks | an3k, after the splash part yes | 16:07 |
| an3k | there's no splash part, maybe because it's Ubuntu Server? | 16:07 |
| an3k | however, I'll give it a try | 16:08 |
| an3k | OerHeks: Tried it. Grub menu is still 800x600 (800x600), bootup is in 720x400 (720x400) and console is in 800x600 (1024x768) | 16:11 |
| OerHeks | an3k, then i have no clue :-( | 16:13 |

| Guest7588 | How much in MB? | 16:33 |
| Guest7588 | would be good | 16:33 |
| terinjokes_ | i'm having an issue with lightdm, wherein my X session locks and lightdm spawns to handle unlocking, but then my display turns off (and remains off until i blindly type in my password to unlock) | 16:34 |
| k1l_ | the base ubuntu alone as full desktop with typical programs installed will use something from 7GB to 15GB. then there is the data your users will save in /home. | 16:34 |
| Guest7588 | Well, how much should I shrink? | 16:34 |
| terinjokes_ | i'd love to debug this, but i see nothing relevant in X or lightdm logs | 16:34 |
| Guest7588 | in MB | 16:34 |
| k1l_ | Guest7588: i just answered your question. | 16:35 |
| Guest7588 | "then there is the data your users will save in /home.", and I mean In MB, total | 16:35 |
| Guest7588 | so how much would be good? | 16:35 |
| k1l_ | Guest7588: i dont know what you will want to safe. i have 90GB in /home as user data. | 16:35 |
| Guest7588 | I will not use it to save things so much | 16:36 |
| k1l_ | so just think about what you want to save there, what you use your computer for. i dont know what you do there. so anything from 1Gb to 1TB could be good for you | 16:36 |

| yossarianuk | hi - I have made an upstart script (to launch a meteor application) - it works fine when you run it | 17:03 |
| yossarianuk | i.e 'service meteor start' | 17:03 |
| yossarianuk | however it is not starting on boot =- how can I troubleshoot why it is not starting on boot | 17:04 |
| jq- | How can I go about blocking ALL tor traffic to my server? | 17:06 |
| yossarianuk | also I if I add 'service meteor start' to /etc/rc.local it works on boot. | 17:06 |
| yossarianuk | jg-: turn off tor ? | 17:06 |
| yossarianuk | jg-: block the tor port | 17:06 |
| somsip | jq-: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en#Bans | 17:07 |
| yossarianuk | jg-: if you mean how do you stop tor visitors hitting your server that is harder - you can try blocking exit node ips - but that won't really help. | 17:07 |
| jq- | yossarianuk: Yeah, I don't want any tor user to be able to access my site. | 17:07 |
| somsip | jq-: read the official faq, as linked | 17:08 |
| jq- | somsip: Seems to only show lists of ips, I don't know what the best way to block them is. | 17:08 |
| k1l_ | jq-: well, that is the concept of the tor network | 17:08 |
| yossarianuk | jq-: you are basically going to have a hard time doing that - Snort/Suricata has rules that block known exit nodes | 17:08 |
| somsip | !info iptables | jq- | 17:08 |
| ubottu | jq-: iptables (source: iptables): administration tools for packet filtering and NAT. In component main, is standard. Version 1.4.21-2ubuntu1 (utopic), package size 248 kB, installed size 1420 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 17:08 |
| yossarianuk | somsip: that won;t help block users using Tor visiting his server | 17:09 |
| yossarianuk | (its basically not possible to do so - you can try but you will waste your time) | 17:09 |
| tankenmate | jq-: if you are blocking lots of disparate ip addresses you might want to look at the ipset extension to iptables | 17:09 |

| jq- | I'm running dd-wrt | 17:14 |
| Dewin|work | jq-: Running it on the router means the traffic your filtering never has to make it into your network at all, but it never hurts to do both | 17:15 |

| Guest7588 | any ideas? | 17:17 |
| iuza | µ | 17:17 |

| BenBE | daftykins: (Regarding the boot issue) Definitively the *disk*: efibootmgr reports 8 entries in the boot order, but the UEFI only reports the 5 more generic ones (ODD, LAN, HDD, USB, ...) | 17:48 |
| daftykins | BenBE: wow that was a delay from... yesterday? :) or Sunday? what brand is it? | 17:49 |
| BenBE | daftykins: Disabling the Windows Boot Manager specific entry in efibootmgr (-b -A) temporarily helps, until Windows (unknown why) re-enables it. The Ubuntu-Entry (Grub 2 EFI) only comes after; trying to change the priority here doesn't show any effects. | 17:49 |

| help_dhcp | an3k: i cannot copy paste anything to you | 19:04 |
| help_dhcp | an3k: is there a general sense of what i can do to get DHCP to recognize the ISP>? | 19:04 |
| noah | my volume up key does not work anymore | 19:05 |
| an3k | help_dhcp: yes, edit the /etc/network/interfaces. It should have the following for DHCP http://paste.ubuntu.com/10671961/ | 19:06 |
| an3k | that enables DHCP on the network adapter. If you have more than one you have to check if its eth0 or eth1 | 19:07 |
| === Guest59028 is now known as Miguelll | ||
| jhutchins | help_dhcp: Also disable network-manager if it's running. | 19:07 |
| Vipin | dgvgvn | 19:07 |
| Miguelll | Hi ppl :) | 19:07 |
| help_dhcp | jhutchins: how to determine if it is running? | 19:07 |
| noah | my volume up key will not work anymore. | 19:07 |
| sl33k_ | My Eclipse window is hanged and unrespomsive. How do I close it? | 19:08 |
| sl33k_ | *unresponsive | 19:08 |
| jhutchins | help_dhcp: ps ax | less | 19:08 |
| jhutchins | noah: Do any of your other media keys work? | 19:10 |
| noah | jhutchins: yes | 19:10 |
| noah | jhutchins: volume down works | 19:10 |
| noah | jhutchins: and all the others | 19:11 |
| noah | jhutchins: at least the ones I use | 19:11 |
| help_dhcp | Last night, i thought i was still on a PPPOE connection, when i tried to run a Networkmanager it said another PPPOE manager might be running on eth0 | 19:11 |
| jhutchins | noah: Sounds like hardware failure. xev should show you if it's sending a code or not. | 19:11 |
| sl33k_ | My Eclipse window is hanged and turned unresponsive. How do I force close it? | 19:11 |
| noah | jhutchins: Well, trying to input Fn+F10 as a keyboard shorcut for it doesn't work. | 19:12 |
| noah | jhutchins: but suprisingly F10 works | 19:12 |
| noah | jhutchins: xev gave nothing | 19:13 |
| bprompt | sl33k_: try a "killall" on it, to see the name of the process, do a -> lsof -c eclipse; | 19:14 |
| gaucer | hello | 19:16 |
| bprompt | hmm | 19:16 |
| bprompt | sl33k_: actually just do a -> ps -ax | grep -i eclipse <--- to see the process name and id, to use for "killall" | 19:16 |
| gaucer | can smbd help me with xfce4-appearance-settings? | 19:17 |
| tankenmate | WOW! open xchange has bought dovecot and powerdns! | 19:18 |
| noah | my volume up "key" (Fn-F10) does not send an event | 19:18 |
| tankenmate | noah: have you got a USB or PS/2 keyboard? | 19:19 |
| noah | tankenmate: no. a laptop keyboard. | 19:20 |
| sl33k_ | bprompt: killall eclipse did it | 19:20 |
| tankenmate | noah: it's probably a PS/2 keyboard then (internally that is) | 19:21 |
| sl33k_ | My laptop heats up like crazy. What measures can I take to reduce this? | 19:21 |
| tankenmate | noah: you should be able to check if evdev is emitting events | 19:21 |
| noah | tankenmate: ok. what should I do | 19:21 |
| gaucer | anybody hear me? | 19:22 |
| ubone | ues | 19:23 |
| tankenmate | noah: # xinput list | 19:23 |
| tankenmate | noah: have you found your hardware keyboard? (it should be one of the slave keyboards) | 19:24 |
| noah | tankenmate: I think this is the relavant line: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] | 19:24 |
| gaucer | i'm using xubuntu 14.04.2. I don't know why, but i installed gnome3 from ppa. After i purged it and now theme settings crash | 19:24 |
| tankenmate | yeah, it's a PS/2 keyboard then | 19:24 |
| gaucer | i tried to reinstall it | 19:24 |
| tankenmate | noah: # xinput test 10 | 19:25 |
| tankenmate | noah: then then type Fn-F10 | 19:26 |
| tankenmate | noah: and see if it registers any input | 19:26 |
| ubone | gaucer: see man page of pkg manager, look for a way to remove unneeded pkg installed as dependancies | 19:26 |
| noah | tankenmate: nothing. Strangley, just F10 works. And Fn-F9 works. | 19:26 |
| ubone | gaucer: or check config files and remove all gnome 3 confs | 19:27 |
| tankenmate | noah: it could be either a fault in the keyboard, the keyboard driver, or even the BIOS | 19:27 |
| noah | tankenmate: so what do you suggest? | 19:28 |
| ubone | gaucer: try to install cinnamon or just nemo on an xfce pc, you will get a similar mix up | 19:28 |
| tankenmate | noah: # apt-get install input-utils | 19:28 |
| grant__ | hello! | 19:28 |
| grant__ | Hello! | 19:28 |
| grant__ | hows erryone doin today | 19:29 |
| tankenmate | noah: # input-events 10 | 19:29 |
| noah | tankenmate: got it | 19:29 |
| tankenmate | noah: and try Fn-F10 again | 19:29 |
| grant__ | NO! | 19:29 |
| grant__ | bye! | 19:29 |
| grant__ | bye Pueb! | 19:29 |
| grant__ | bye xqcao! | 19:29 |
| grant__ | by pscho123! | 19:29 |
| gaucer | ubone: yes, i now. it was my mistake | 19:29 |
| noah | tankenmate: open /dev/input/event10: No such file or directory | 19:29 |
| grant__ | #ubuntu | 19:29 |
| grant__ | ssh | 19:29 |
| tankenmate | noah: # lsinput | 19:30 |
| ubone | gaucer: i dont blame you, | 19:30 |
| tankenmate | noah: on my box the /dev/input/event[n] line up with xdev but that might be because i have very few inputs installed | 19:30 |
| jamie_ | hey I am having a problem... sometimes when my computer locks from time out.. when i go to enter my password it doesn’t work and i have to restart my computer | 19:31 |
| tankenmate | noah: your keyboard should be listed in lsinput | 19:31 |
| noah | tankenmate: had to use sodo. ended up being event3. Fn-F10 again did nothing. | 19:31 |
| sl33k_ | My laptop heats up like crazy. What measures can I take to reduce this? | 19:31 |
| ubone | jamie_: how do you restart | 19:31 |
| noah | tankenmate: sudo* | 19:31 |
| jamie_ | ubone: i tap the power button once and it goes thorough the shut down process | 19:32 |
| ubone | sl33k_: is your gpu ati/amd | 19:32 |
| sl33k_ | ubone: How do I find this out? | 19:32 |
| tankenmate | noah: the '#' means run as root; sorry | 19:32 |
| ubone | sl33k_: do inxi -F in terminal | 19:33 |
| noah | tankenmate: that's ok. it still didn't catch anything | 19:33 |
| tankenmate | noah: if Fn-F10 isn't responding then even the kernel driver isn't sending the event; this means either that the hardware refuses to provide an event or it is being trapped by the BIOS / ACPI | 19:33 |
| hhee | guys, ubuntu is awesome! but which player is the best ? (with GUI) | 19:34 |
| akkad | player? ansible | 19:34 |
| tankenmate | hhee: vlc :) | 19:34 |
| ubone | jamie_: do you see anything on the screen? | 19:34 |
| jamie_ | ubone: what specificly do you mean | 19:34 |
| hhee | tankenmate: oh music player :) | 19:34 |
| noah | tankenmate: what could be done to fix this? | 19:34 |
| tankenmate | hhee: vlc will play music and videos :) | 19:35 |
| tankenmate | noah: with a budget of less than $10k? not much :( | 19:35 |
| sl33k_ | ubone: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10672145/ is the output after issuing the command | 19:35 |
| gaucer | ubone: trying to purge all gnome dependencies | 19:35 |
| ubone | jamie_: does it look normal, wallpaper and all, or is it the keyboard or something | 19:35 |
| hhee | tankenmate: tnx, dont know this | 19:35 |
| ubone | gaucer: go baby go | 19:35 |
| tankenmate | noah: to fix that you'd have to have very good hardware hacking skills | 19:35 |
| jamie_ | ubone: the pull up is there and when i pull it up the password entry is there but it either dosnt type some of the letters... or when it does it will not accept the password | 19:36 |
| noah | tankenmate: does it send a weird code at boot (e.g. when I press up ad buut I get something like >D]] | 19:36 |
| tankenmate | noah: you could make a guess as to the cause by checking the hardware interrupts while pressing Fn-F10 rapidly | 19:36 |
| noah | tankenmate: I just though of something. | 19:37 |
| ubone | sl33k_: you have intel gpu, but you could set your cpu governor to conservative to keep frequencies on low and hence temp too | 19:38 |
| ubone | idk intel gpu | 19:38 |
| noah | tankenmate: my up key sticks whenever my computer is turned on so I have to press space to stop it. I'm pretty sure the volume key still worked after that but could this be the issue? | 19:38 |
| ubone | jamie_: sounds like a keyboard locale issue | 19:39 |
| tankenmate | noah: $ watch -n 1 "cat /proc/interrupts | egrep 8042" | 19:39 |
| tankenmate | noah: and then keep hitting Fn-F10 lots | 19:39 |
| jamie_ | ubone: do you know of a way to solve this | 19:39 |
| gaucer | ubone: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10672178/ that's what i have. some pkgs want to remove half of my system and install unity | 19:39 |
| erzo | how can i add shell script to pythoncode? | 19:39 |
| ubone | jamie_: try to change your password using simple international character only | 19:40 |
| tankenmate | noah: does the interrupt count(s) increase while hitting Fn-F10? | 19:40 |
| erzo | python code* | 19:40 |
| jamie_ | my password is all letters and numbers and 1 period | 19:40 |
| tankenmate | hold down the Fn key by the way, just keep hitting only the F10 key | 19:40 |
| JDAIII | I am losing my mind, I cannot get any kind of connection outside of ssh on my azure hosted ubuntu VM, anyone have any ideas? | 19:40 |
| noah | tankenmate: not sure. there are a lot of numbers. but I have to go now. Will hopefuly be back soon. | 19:41 |
| help_dhcp | exit | 19:41 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: iptables? | 19:41 |
| jamie_ | ubone: the only thing i can think would throw it off would be that it is 19 characters long | 19:41 |
| tankenmate | noah: OK | 19:41 |
| HanaNix | I am trying to use snapper on Ubuntu and I am getting this error: Creating config failed (/sbin/chsnap not installed). <-- any idea? | 19:41 |
| JDAIII | tankenmate, disabled by default on ubuntu vms on azure. | 19:41 |
| ubone | jamie_: too complex, maybe its a locale mix up, test a new simple password | 19:41 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: disabled? or empty? i doubt they compile their kernels without iptables support | 19:42 |
| ubone | gaucer: those are not needed for xfce4 | 19:42 |
| jamie_ | ubone: ugh... ill try that for a little... its just odd that it is doing it now... I always have kept my password above 17characters | 19:42 |
| gaucer | ubone: yes, i know, but i can't remove it.. | 19:42 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: iptables -L -nv | 19:43 |

| tankenmate | JDAIII: and the default policy on INPUT and OUTPUT is? | 19:48 |
| JDAIII | tankenmate, accept on both | 19:48 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: and this is an outbound or inbound problem? | 19:49 |
| JDAIII | tankenmate, both, I cannot ping the vm using the external address form my local and I cannot ping a remote ip on the vm, but I can run apt-get if that makes a difference | 19:49 |
| gr00v3 | is it a NAT / bridged network issue? | 19:51 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: ahh i suspect you are being firewalled by an external firewall or router | 19:51 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: i've never used azure, but i suspect there would be some firewall setting somewhere on a control panel or some such | 19:52 |
| JDAIII | tankenmate, I looked extensviely for such an animal and I could not see anything, but I will check again | 19:52 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: or a less likely option there might be some command line tool provided by MS that achieves a similar result... not sure | 19:52 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: email support is the only thing i could suggest then, sorry :/ | 19:53 |
| JDAIII | thanks. I've never used azure to host. but I was asked to see if we could host our cloud services on linux through azure. I miss aws | 19:54 |
| levlaz | JDAIII: What is the IP address? | 19:55 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: ack, you could try digital ocean, rackspace, or vultr | 19:56 |
| tankenmate | also OVH, haetzler (sp?) if you are in europe | 19:56 |
| tankenmate | netcup has some pretty good pricing but i've never used them | 19:56 |
| gaucer | ubone: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10672294/ this can't remove because it's want to delete 4 pkgs & install 111 new | 19:57 |
| levlaz | JDAIII: We should look to see what ports are open, what happens if you run netstat -pltnu | 19:57 |
| JDAIII | tankenmate, unfortunately I get no choice on this. We already use azure for other windows servers and they are not going to let me change. If only I were in charge | 19:57 |
| levlaz | JDAIII: It may be a simple config issue somehwere. Alternatively you may be getting blocked by EBTabes outside of your VM but that is unlikely since you can reach it over SSH. | 19:59 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: oh well... there's only so much you can do; i suggest you tell them to render unto ceaser what is ceaser's :) | 19:59 |

| levlaz | I mean what service is running that you want to reach lol | 20:01 |
| JDAIII | I'm expecting to be able to ping an external site or IP, I had installed apac eh and 80 wasn't available even though I added the endpoint. I uninstalled, but will reinstall in a few minutes. | 20:02 |
| tankenmate | JDAIII: just as aside, what does lsof -i return? | 20:02 |
| levlaz | Can you install it again, and then run the same command to see if it is evenin listening on 80? | 20:02 |
| levlaz | Its odd that you cant ping the IP :/ but its equally odd that you can get in with SSH everything *should* work lol | 20:03 |

| silentnewb | i cant get it through booting UEFI | 20:06 |
| silentnewb | please help | 20:06 |
| JDAIII | our install script of which I am testing now, requires the ability to ping www.google.com or it will fail. I can comment that out, but that will not be an option for the tests that I am performing. | 20:06 |

| levlaz | JDAIII: what happens when you ping google now? | 20:07 |
| levlaz | Its super odd | 20:07 |
| JDAIII | levlaz, it hangs | 20:07 |
| levlaz | What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? | 20:07 |
| JDAIII | 100% packet loss | 20:07 |
| levlaz | Hmm.. | 20:07 |
| levlaz | Can you run an MTR report? | 20:08 |
| levlaz | "mtr --report google.com" | 20:08 |
| levlaz | to see where the loss occurs at -- if it is at the Azure routers then you can go yell at them :) | 20:08 |
| JDAIII | resolv.conf has two entries. nameserver with an ip to which I am not familiar and search which appears to be my VM's dns name | 20:09 |
| JDAIII | mtr only shows my HOST and nothing else | 20:09 |

| JDAIII | levlaz, I think that the loss is occuring before it even gets to the azure router | 20:12 |
| tankenmate | noah: that means the hardware is generating interrupts but something is trapping the key events before they reach the kernel | 20:12 |

| EriC^^ | silentnewb, check the bios for efi entries | 20:20 |
| silentnewb | it only have UEFI or Legacy mode | 20:20 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, there has to be a key that lets you choose which os to load, also it might let you choose to browse for an efi file | 20:21 |
| silentnewb | while i try legacy mode then no operating system detected | 20:21 |

| silentnewb | no internet from live cds | 20:32 |
| noah | EriC^^: depends on his techincal skills. | 20:32 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you can undo it pretty easily by booting the live usb again if it doesn't work | 20:32 |
| fahadash | jamie_, systemctl list-units --type service | 20:32 |
| noah | silentnewb: have you tried an ethernert cable? | 20:32 |
| fahadash | can you run that? | 20:32 |
| jamie_ | fahadash: Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager. | 20:33 |
| noah | silentnewb: ethernet* | 20:33 |
| fahadash | jamie_, Like I said. I mostly work on opensuse. Not sure about ubuntu | 20:33 |
| fahadash | jamie_, You might as well try in ##linux | 20:33 |
| silentnewb | cant use eth0 because i only use wireles/wifi connection in my home sadly | 20:34 |
| silentnewb | i get from monthly wifi connection | 20:34 |
| silentnewb | no cables | 20:34 |
| noah | silentnewb: darn. | 20:34 |
| silentnewb | :( | 20:34 |
| ks | could you recommend a simple way for instant recovery of several files (php/sqlite), running under ubuntu? | 20:34 |
| silentnewb | but i can connect with my windows tho | 20:34 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, as long as you have a live usb you should be good, worse case scenario you could mount the windows partition and get the data back, but it's unlikely anything will happen | 20:35 |
| jamie_ | fahadash: this is the place that is supposed to help with ubuntu | 20:35 |
| noah | silentnewb: have you tried downloading boot reapir onto ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| noah | jamie_: we are all looking for help and to help. Some know more than others. | 20:35 |
| fahadash | jamie_, Correct | 20:35 |
| jamie_ | noah: I know that | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | jamie_, not sure what the bluetooth daemon is called, but service --status-all lists all the services | 20:36 |
| jamie_ | I do this same type of thing for mozilla over on moznet for the firefox os devices and the web browser | 20:36 |
| Bashing-om | silentnewb: ^^ EriC^^ Knows UEFI, you are in good hands . | 20:36 |
| silentnewb | ubuntu live dvd cannot detect my wireless driver unless i online | 20:36 |
| fahadash | jamie_, What EriC^^ says and: service --status-all | grep *bluetooth* | 20:37 |
| fahadash | or try grep *bt* something as well | 20:37 |

| EriC^^ | Bashing-om, :) | 20:37 |
| noah123 | any ideas? | 20:37 |
| fahadash | jamie_, Check the third post in this thread. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-restart-bluez-daemon-712095/ | 20:38 |
| silentnewb | EriC^^ Bashing-om i can try online in my colleges, but hwat i have to do with boot-repair? | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, nevermind boot-repair | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | noah123, most logical let kubuntu instller partition the free space | 20:38 |
| EriC^^ | boot the live usb and tell us when it's booted | 20:38 |
| jamie_ | fahadash: thanks... its working now | 20:40 |
| === gusnan is now known as Guest32079 | ||
| fahadash | jamie_, What worked? Would you like to share? | 20:41 |
| noah123 | OerHeks: Should the swap partition be logical? | 20:42 |
| jamie_ | fahadash: /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart | 20:43 |
| fahadash | awesome | 20:43 |
| silentnewb | EriC^^ okay, i will looking forward for it, thank you guys Bashing-om noah | 20:43 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you don't need an internet connection to fix it | 20:44 |
| noahmg123 | EriC^^, silentnewb, yeah. sorry for the confusion. u don't need boot-repair | 20:45 |
| The | hello | 20:46 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you won't be messing with any partition stuff, just replacing a boot file with another, if windows doesn't boot you can just boot the live usb again and replace them back, no harm done | 20:47 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, it's just a normal file | 20:48 |
| silentnewb | EriC^^ can you please give me the commands? so i can do it later? | 20:48 |
| silentnewb | how to change the uefi file | 20:49 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you need to mount the efi partition and stuff.. | 20:49 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you could try booting into ubuntu by holding shift and pressing restart in windows, if you get an option that says other devices or something click it and it might list ubuntu | 20:49 |
| EriC^^ | that way you wouldn't have to mount the efi partition and you'd just be in ubuntu as you would usually | 20:50 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind | 20:51 |
| jamie_ | fahadash: thanks for your help | 20:52 |
| silentnewb | so what i have to do? do i need to use live usb or boot to other device from win 8.1 only? EriC^^ | 20:53 |
| silentnewb | sorry i kind of confusing here XD | 20:53 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, once you boot the live usb, type sudo blkid | grep vfat, you'll get a list of partitions | 20:53 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind the windows thing | 20:53 |
| EriC^^ | if it doesn't boot you'd need a live usb to get win back so | 20:54 |
| EriC^^ | anyways if you have 1 partition listed, then get it's name /dev/sda1 maybe and type sudo mount /dev/sda1/mnt | 20:55 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, if you have a bunch of partitions check the label, it might say EFI partition, that's the one you want | 20:55 |
| joshumax | Sorry for reposing this on #ubuntu, but #upstart seemed pretty dead...I had a question regarding the future of upstart and upstart maintenance/security patches... Now that systemd is replacing upstart on Ubuntu, will the Upstart team still maintain Upstart for the foreseeable future? | 20:56 |
| The_kid | hey | 20:56 |
| joshumax | s/reposing/reposting/ | 20:57 |
| silentnewb | okay, Eric^^ then what to do with the EFI partitions that i found? | 20:57 |
| helo | using "Network" to configure my proxy settings, there isn't a field for username and password | 20:58 |
| helo | surely i can set proxy settings without editing a bunch of config files like Internet Man says | 20:58 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you mount the EFI partition then type cp /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup | 21:01 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, sorry, sudo cp /mnt/boot/efi...... | 21:01 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, that will make a backup copy of the file in case you need to restore it | 21:01 |
| monojin | possibly idiot question: can I assume that Ubuntu 14.04 is currently utilizing my intel graphics 4000 GPU out of the box, and how can I check? | 21:02 |
| akkad | is this look safe for apt-get install -f ? https://gist.github.com/c8fe586776fc2eb3c828 | 21:02 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, sorry, sudo cp /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup | 21:03 |
| joshumax | akkad: If you don't do much development work, then perhaps | 21:04 |
| eikon81g | Does anyone have tips on optimizing youtube playback? I am using firefox and the nvidia drivers for my machine. Some videos seem choppy.. | 21:04 |
| akkad | joshumax: someone put a wrong distro source in there and now it's hosed for adding new packages | 21:05 |
| joshumax | Was it from a ppa? | 21:05 |
| akkad | probably | 21:05 |
| silentnewb | okay Eric^^ then what to do after cp commands? | 21:05 |
| akkad | basically it wanted to update everything | 21:05 |
| akkad | pages of netcat-openbsd : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.7) but it is not going to be installed | 21:05 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, copy and rename the shimx64.efi file, sudo cp /mnt/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi | 21:06 |
| joshumax | !ubottu ppa-purge | 21:06 |
| joshumax | I think I did that wrong... | 21:06 |
| eikon81g | !ppa-purge | 21:06 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 21:06 |
| joshumax | Thanks | 21:06 |
| eikon81g | np | 21:06 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, sometimes you have to also backup and then replace /mnt/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi , but try bootx64.efi first and see how it goes | 21:07 |
| akkad | the error is https://gist.github.com/61166d4a48362100d273 | 21:07 |
| Bashing-om | monojin: Intel supports us fully, should work out-of-the-box. Quick verification is to boot a ubuntu liveDVD(usb) .. If all works in the "live" environment, great chance will also work in the install. | 21:07 |
| === neunon_ is now known as neunon | ||
| akkad | well atm I can't install anything | 21:07 |
| joshumax | it looks like your "apt-get -f install" is safe *enough* | 21:08 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, if you need to revert back do sudo cp /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi | 21:08 |
| monojin | Bashing-om: As I suspected. I've actually had Ubuntu MATE installed for two weeks but wanted to make sure ; ) | 21:08 |
| joshumax | But I'd *really* do a ppa-purge afterwards | 21:09 |
| Bashing-om | monojin: Good deal . Welcome to our world . | 21:09 |
| silentnewb | Eric^^ sorry if this unrelated, but i already tried to change boot path from the windows itself, | 21:09 |
| silentnewb | with commands bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi | 21:09 |
| EriC^^ | this might work | 21:09 |
| silentnewb | but nothing happened :( | 21:09 |
| silentnewb | i hope your way can solve the problems Eric^^ thank you | 21:10 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, no problem | 21:11 |

| === rreno is now known as hoyh | ||
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, oh btw | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | almsot forgot :> | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you need to let grub know where the new windows efi file is, so you can boot into windows from grub | 21:13 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, ? | 21:14 |
| silentnewb | Eric^^ okay, what should i do ? update grub? | 21:14 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, type locate 20microsoft | 21:15 |
| EriC^^ | it's /usr/lib/os-prober/mount/efi/20microsoft i think ( i'm not on ubuntu right now so i can't check ) | 21:16 |
| sparasite | Someone here can help me ...? | 21:17 |
| silentnewb | what commands EriC^^ from terminal to locate 20microsoft | 21:17 |
| sparasite | Please, I have been trying for a lot of days now, if not weeks ... | 21:17 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, then type sudo nano /usr/lib/os-prober/mount/efi/20microsoft ( or whatever you get from the locate command ) and change bootx64.efi to bootx64.efi.backup & bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw.efi.backup | 21:17 |
| ndumont | sparasite, what's your problem ? | 21:17 |
| guntbert | sparasite: ask your question - all in one line | 21:18 |
| sparasite | Sure, one moment please! | 21:18 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, you might not need to do this if you don't change bootmgfw.efi , if you only change bootx64.efi give it a go and if you get grub and windows boots then nevermind, if it doesn't check that file for bootx64.efi and replace it with bootx64.efi.backup | 21:18 |
| sparasite | Well, I wanna install Kubuntu 14.04.2 using Dual Boot with Windows 7. I dont know ANYTHING but I have created unallocated space, 80 GB | 21:19 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, oh wait, you have to change that file in ubuntu, not the live usb, so if you boot into ubuntu fine and it doesn't boot windows then do that there | 21:19 |
| sparasite | I know I need to create a swap partition and so on, but I dont know what File System, Beginning or End, Mount Point etc. | 21:19 |
| EriC^^ | then run sudo update-grub | 21:19 |
| superman | sparasite, you miss only swap or others too? | 21:20 |
| noahmg123 | sparasite: swaps aren needed but very much encouraged. | 21:20 |
| noahmg123 | aren't* | 21:20 |
| sparasite | Yeah | 21:20 |
| sparasite | Can you help me_ | 21:20 |
| sparasite | Configure everything etc. | 21:20 |
| sparasite | I dont understand the installation ... I am new to this | 21:21 |
| silentnewb | okay, i'll tried restart windows first to check i can boot into ubuntu EriC^^ if i cant booted then use live usb is that okay | 21:21 |
| superman | sparasite, how many RAM installed on your pc? | 21:21 |
| sparasite | superman: 4 GB | 21:21 |
| EriC^^ | silentnewb, i'd do it from the live usb, if you want to check ubuntu that's fine but copy the files from the live usb | 21:22 |
| sparasite | superman: can we take it in PM so I can keep all information? | 21:22 |
| EriC^^ | you dont want to copy the files have it not boot then put the live usb and it doesn't work or for some reason you can't mount the efi partition | 21:22 |

| noahmg123 | sparasite: Yeah Kubuntu assumes you want to install over everything and it is hard to find the option to tell it to use the 80GB space, but not too hard. | 21:23 |
| sparasite | Okay | 21:23 |
| sparasite | So what should I do? When I boot into Live Mode it says English language pack isnt supported, can I ignore it? | 21:24 |
| noahmg123 | sparasite: where did you get you install iso for your disk or stick | 21:24 |
| noahmg123 | get your* | 21:25 |
| sparasite | noahmg123: First, I used the official download ISO. Then, it was the same error, so I tried the official torrent with the same chechsum | 21:25 |
| sparasite | on a USB created with UNetbootin | 21:25 |
| sparasite | But I dont have so much time ... | 21:26 |
| noahmg123 | Hmmm.... the english version (is there more than one version)? | 21:26 |
| sparasite | What? | 21:26 |
| noahmg123 | sparasite: can you give the the link to where you downloaded it? | 21:27 |
| sparasite | noahmg123: got it from a friend, but it was here I think> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/releases/14.04/release/ | 21:28 |
| sparasite | The torrent | 21:28 |
| sparasite | noahmg123: can we take it in PM_ | 21:28 |
| noahmg123 | sparasite: ok but first. amd64 or i386 | 21:29 |

| RudeViper | How do I make the operating system offer me a choice of desktop environments on boot - I have xfce - lxde and unity installed - but by default it is booting into xfce and I want to be able to use the other two for a bit to see if I can track down some issues to see if the are DE related or Ubuntu related - google searching isn't producing any definitive answers | 21:35 |
| benth | tankenmate: oh interesting - do you know where i can learn more about that? | 21:35 |
| tankenmate | benth: for NFSv4 I suspect it is used for ID mappings, but i'd need to check | 21:35 |
| tankenmate | benth: there was a bound text published by Sun in 1994 or 1995 about Secure RPC / Secure NFS, but it has been over 20 years since I read it so I can't remember the title | 21:36 |
| Bashing-om | RudeViper: In the sign-in box, upper right corner is the ubuntu icon, click on it for a drop down of all the DEs that are installed . | 21:36 |

| HanaNix | suse* | 21:50 |
| k1l_ | HanaNix: you know this is the ubuntu support channel? :) | 21:52 |
| k1l_ | maysara: did you reboot? | 21:53 |
| HanaNix | k1l_ ubuntu supports snapper: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/utopic/man8/snapper.8.html | 21:53 |
| maysara | k1l_: yes. | 21:53 |
| Bashing-om | maysara: Desktop machine ? and you install --reinstall the 4 required packages ? and then rebooted ? .. should be up on the utopic kernel then . | 21:53 |

| k1l_ | maysara: or do you use the arch bootloader? | 22:01 |
| Exagone313 | can the third line of this pastebin being ignored? I've the same error. | 22:02 |
| maysara | k1l_: It's grub, I didn't even reinstall it when I was trying Arch. I'll reboot again. | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | Exagone313: yes, its just a warning, not an error | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | maysara: well, arch might have installed its own grub or something other. so maybe you need to run that one if to let it check the new ubuntu kernels. but that would be a task for the arch support then. | 22:04 |
| InHisName1 | When I do: sudo apt-get -f install I get request to add samba-libs then when it tries, I get errors (1) returned by the deb. I've changed printers and the old settings are useless. I'd just as soon purge samba and start all over for the new printer. So where to start ? | 22:05 |

| _alfalfa | from a amazon ec2 instance to my laptop , im on a public wifi | 22:44 |

| _alfalfa | it would make sense however i havent seen them do that before | 22:45 |
| _alfalfa | anyway i cant find the log file and i cant find the config file for rsync on the ec2 instance | 22:45 |
| bekks | rsync doesn keep any logs unless you manuell create them. | 22:45 |

| bekks | *manually even | 22:45 |
| _alfalfa | oh really ? ic | 22:45 |
| bekks | And rsync doesnt have a config file as well, until you run a dedicated rsync server. | 22:46 |
| _alfalfa | i got 56 percent of the file, lost my c onnection now it dies every time i try to resume the download | 22:46 |
| === sideonee is now known as sideone | ||
| bekks | I doesnt die, it has to check the hash on both sides. That takes some time. | 22:47 |
| _alfalfa | i dont know what im doing .. i take it you dont need a dedicated server to rsync remotely like this | 22:50 |
| _alfalfa | i upgraded so im using the same protocl veresion remote and local, no help | 22:50 |
| _alfalfa | maybe i should try connecting using a different port, if the wifi is killing it that might trick it | 22:50 |

| bekks | 6s patience. | 22:51 |
| bekks | _alfalfa: How does rsync "fail" actually? | 22:52 |
| _alfalfa | inflate returned -3 (0 bytes) | 22:53 |
| _alfalfa | rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at token.c(557) [receiver=3.1.1] | 22:53 |
| _alfalfa | rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (163 bytes received so far) [generator] | 22:53 |
| _alfalfa | rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [generator=3.1.1] | 22:53 |
| _alfalfa | when i try to resume the transfer it gets the file list, gets to the point where it would be donwloading additional data and then failes it seems | 22:53 |
| rypervenche | _alfalfa: What is the command you're running? | 22:54 |
| _alfalfa | /opt/local/bin/rsync -zvr --partial --progress --rsh=ssh ubuntu@myserver.com:/mnt/ex/home/ubuntu/transmission/Downloads/fa . | 22:55 |
| bekks | omit the --rsh=ssh | 22:55 |
| _alfalfa | hm ... i guess its worth a try | 22:56 |
| _alfalfa | ive always donw it using ssh however | 22:56 |
| bekks | And why do you use a nonstandard rsync? | 22:56 |
| _alfalfa | my server probably wont accept the conn except via ssh | 22:56 |
| bekks | rsync uses ssh as default. | 22:56 |
| _alfalfa | because i installed a more recent version after i had tehese problems | 22:56 |
| _alfalfa | it was using protocol version 29 ... /usr/local/bin or wheterver | 22:57 |
| bekks | Just use the distro shipped one please. | 22:57 |
| _alfalfa | so i port installed rsync | 22:57 |
| bekks | /usr/bin/rsync | 22:57 |
| bekks | port installed? | 22:57 |
| _alfalfa | as i said, both versions have the same problem | 22:57 |
| bekks | Thats no Ubuntu then. | 22:57 |
| _alfalfa | the remote system is ubuntu | 22:57 |
| rypervenche | _alfalfa: does a "fa" file exist in your working directory? | 22:57 |
| _alfalfa | as i said, ec2 instanc | 22:57 |
| k1l_ | /opt/local/bin/rsync ? what ubuntu is that at all? | 22:57 |
| bekks | Sounds lieke BSD or OSX. | 22:57 |
| bekks | *like | 22:57 |
| _alfalfa | i said remote system is ubuntu, an amazon ec2 instance | 22:58 |
| _alfalfa | rypervenche, yes it does the file is 1/2 there | 22:58 |
| bekks | _alfalfa: and your non-Ubuntu client is causing issues :) | 22:58 |
| rypervenche | _alfalfa: what OS is the client? | 22:58 |
| _alfalfa | maybe, ive downloaded many files this way .. its possible this is the largest im not sure, its 2 gig .. client is OS X | 22:59 |
| _alfalfa | im trying it without the --rsh=ssh .. dbout it will help tho | 22:59 |
| _alfalfa | as u said it uses ssh anyway | 22:59 |
| _alfalfa | yup same problem | 23:00 |
| bekks | _alfalfa: Of course, because your client is the issue. | 23:00 |
| _alfalfa | maybe there is an error int he partial file .. i guess ill delete it and retry | 23:00 |
| _alfalfa | is there another option you can suggest to keep some of the data already downloaded ? | 23:00 |
| _alfalfa | is there a way to tell it to rebuild any metadata it has calculated ? | 23:00 |
| bekks | There is no such thing as calculated metadata. | 23:01 |
| _alfalfa | know a handy command to truncate the file ? | 23:01 |
| _alfalfa | maybe if i chop off the last 10 meg or something that will help | 23:01 |
| bekks | "split" | 23:01 |
| _alfalfa | i.e. if the last of the data got corrupted | 23:01 |
| rypervenche | _alfalfa: Normally I would use --inplace to continie on large files, but that doeant seem to be the case here. Try removimg/moving the file and starting again? | 23:01 |
| === rerst is now known as clmclm | ||
| _alfalfa | rypervenche, why not try adding --implace ? | 23:03 |
| rypervenche | try it | 23:03 |
| _alfalfa | it doesnt know option --implace | 23:03 |
| rypervenche | inplace not implace | 23:04 |
| rypervenche | _alfalfa: also, what does . expand to? where are you when you run the command? | 23:05 |
| _alfalfa | ok ill try inplace thanks | 23:05 |
| cyborgcygnus | #swap | 23:05 |
| _alfalfa | i just truncated it down to a gig | 23:05 |
| _alfalfa | see if that helps | 23:05 |
| cyborgcygnus | ubottu #swap | 23:05 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:05 |
| _alfalfa | i wouldnt be surprised if the wifi is kiling the conn after detecting i downloaded over a gig | 23:06 |
| _alfalfa | altho i didnt knwo they were set up to do that .. thi si s in a starbucks | 23:06 |
| rypervenche | oh.... | 23:06 |
| _alfalfa | truncating to 1 gig seems to have helped | 23:06 |
| _alfalfa | if it dies again ill start to wonder if i exhaused the file system | 23:07 |
| _alfalfa | but df says its at 78% | 23:07 |
| drdozer | hi - can I listen to what other machines have joined my LAN? | 23:08 |
| drdozer | I need to be notified when other machines join it | 23:08 |
| daftykins | drdozer: most routers have device pages, otherwise you can ping scan the subnet with nmap | 23:08 |
| daftykins | drdozer: why don't you just secure it properly so they can't? or disable DHCP? | 23:08 |
| outlaw-666 | hello everyone | 23:08 |
| drdozer | daftykins, nmap seems a bit of a blunt instrument | 23:08 |
| outlaw-666 | can someone help me out with something | 23:08 |
| akkad | ok so I have an ubuntu box that keeps blocking sites with a iptables drop | 23:08 |
| CountryfiedLinux | howdy | 23:08 |
| akkad | no idea what is setup to do that | 23:09 |
| CountryfiedLinux | How do I downgrade the current Kdenlive version to that of 14.04? | 23:09 |
| daftykins | drdozer: you mean you don't know how to use it, or? | 23:09 |
| outlaw-666 | is there any command line, to force USB's to get recognized ? | 23:09 |
| CountryfiedLinux | I almost misspelled it as kurrent haha :P | 23:09 |
| daftykins | CountryfiedLinux: you mean like 14.10 ? you can't downgrade | 23:09 |
| drdozer | daftykins, it's not for security, it's so that I can automate things like setting up ssh tunnels into my laptop from my server whenever it is alive at home | 23:09 |
| daftykins | oh just the package. not familiar with it | 23:09 |
| _alfalfa | yay that may have fixed it, i now i have gotten more data than i had originally so its past the old trouble spot (rsync) | 23:09 |
| CountryfiedLinux | No daftykins I mean 14.04. Kdenlive is buggy in 14.10 and 15.04. | 23:10 |
| _alfalfa | so i guess we now know u get a weird rsync continue problem that wont go away, use truncate to remove some bytes from the end | 23:10 |
| daftykins | CountryfiedLinux: you can't use packages from other versions, if your base distro is newer | 23:10 |
| daftykins | it'll break | 23:10 |
| _alfalfa | which is really odd that has to be a bug in rsync it shouldnt write corrupted data like that | 23:10 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Ok thanks daftykins I guess I'll revert back to LTS if I can't fix this issue. | 23:11 |
| _alfalfa | it has enough check sums that should almost neve rhappen | 23:11 |
| outlaw-666 | I need help ... im trying to find out a command line, to force USB's to get recognized. Can anyone help me please ???? | 23:12 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: you can't force them, either the kernel sees them or it doesn't | 23:14 |
| daftykins | run "dmesg | tail" and if you don't see a drive connected, try changing ports | 23:14 |
| outlaw-666 | what was that command daftykins ? | 23:17 |
| _alfalfa | good thing i got rsync to work i already bout the vodka shot to drink while watching this dvd | 23:17 |
| outlaw-666 | it gave me a lot of errors | 23:17 |
| lasdam1 | hi all. I'm stuck in recovery mode because when I try to boot up normally I get stuck in low graphics mode just loading indefinitely. by pressing ESC I noticed the log was full of "start network manager OK", like at least 20 entries of that, and also Gnome Manager OK was entered twice. | 23:18 |
| lasdam1 | all I think I did and could find that I did before this happened was remove selinux which I installed before and which did not cause this problem, as I rebooted several times without problems. I've opened up all top 10 entries from google and followed the various instructions, like re-install intel drivers, add some different repository, | 23:18 |
| lasdam1 | reinstall ubuntu-desktop, reinstall gdm, and more. I'm basically out of ideas. | 23:18 |
| _alfalfa | maybe outlaw-666 jus tneeds to mount the usb device | 23:18 |
| outlaw-666 | i did the lsusb ... | 23:19 |
| outlaw-666 | and i think it showed me the usb i need | 23:19 |
| outlaw-666 | but ... im not sure | 23:19 |
| outlaw-666 | and only in that list | 23:19 |
| _alfalfa | outlaw-666, oh well im not an expert but if it shows up on lsusb maybe you just need to mount it | 23:21 |
| _alfalfa | what kind of file system is on the usb | 23:21 |
| _alfalfa | some usb devices you can just mount as a file system | 23:21 |
| _alfalfa | what kind of device is it ? | 23:21 |
| outlaw-666 | a buch of files | 23:21 |
| outlaw-666 | its a SD card | 23:21 |
| _alfalfa | what did you use to put the files on it ? | 23:21 |
| _alfalfa | just as a memory stick in another comptuer ? | 23:22 |
| _alfalfa | cant u type faster thnat that im trying to help here | 23:22 |
| _alfalfa | cant u type faster thnat that im trying to help here | 23:22 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: do this then if it's plugged in, "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" | 23:22 |
| _alfalfa | im p inging u like crazy | 23:22 |
| _alfalfa | if u added files to it using a computer it could be formatted ms fat or ext2 i think | 23:23 |
| teward | _alfalfa: you should calm down and have a little bit of patience. | 23:23 |
| outlaw-666 | daftykins, it did not recognize it | 23:23 |
| outlaw-666 | it showed me my USB hdd | 23:24 |
| daftykins | outlaw-666: then either your card reader doesn't work or it's just not showing up | 23:24 |
| outlaw-666 | but it did not show me my sd card | 23:24 |
| outlaw-666 | yeah, if i place it on my cell phone, it says it needs format | 23:24 |
| _alfalfa | i thought you said it showed via lsusb | 23:24 |
| outlaw-666 | but im trying to recover any file on it | 23:24 |
| daftykins | well you should see the card listed at all, with "dmesg | tail" after plugging it in | 23:25 |
| daftykins | unplug it, run "dmesg | tail | pastebinit" then plug it in and repeat that command | 23:25 |
| daftykins | let us see the difference | 23:25 |
| outlaw-666 | the only place i see it is here | 23:25 |
| outlaw-666 | at the top of lsusb | 23:26 |
| outlaw-666 | Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:0119 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Storage Device (SD card reader) | 23:26 |
| daftykins | that's a reader though not a card | 23:26 |
| daftykins | please just follow what i say :) | 23:26 |
| outlaw-666 | ohhh so the card is not shown ? | 23:26 |
| outlaw-666 | i dont know how to run the tail part | 23:27 |
| daftykins | i gave you the full command | 23:27 |
| outlaw-666 | the dmesg i ran before | 23:27 |
| outlaw-666 | ok, ill try | 23:27 |

| outlaw-666 | try what daftykins ? | 23:36 |

| Cipher45 | bekks, I'm trying to set something up as a daemon. How would I move it otherwise? | 23:37 |
| daftykins | bekks: what would you say about 'dd' and testdisk? worth a shot? | 23:37 |
| bekks | daftykins: Yeah, worth a try. | 23:38 |
| bekks | Cipher45: Then why dont yu setup the daemon but move stuff instead? | 23:38 |

| outlaw-666 | nothing happened, error | 23:44 |
| daftykins | which was it? either an error or nothing happened | 23:45 |
| sudormrf | garrettr, I was thinking something along the lines of "echo "blacklist usb-storage" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf" except usb-storage would be the USB ports | 23:45 |
