[00:00] <lotuspsychje> rexbutler: this thread shows libsdl1.2 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12709719/sdl-init-failure-reason-is-no-available-video-device-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts
[00:00] <lotuspsychje> rexbutler: not sure if this is your case exactly, but you can try
[00:00] <teh_the> lotuspsychje sorry but nothing =/
[00:01] <teh_the> I'll try a reboot with hdmi connected
[00:04] <teh_the> doh! nothing still only have one output that is the built-in speakers
[00:06] <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
[00:09] <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'.
[00:10] <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
[00:11] <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
[00:12] <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?
[00:13] <NTQ> At the moment I am running on user 'gdm' and a clean firefox profile
[00:13] <rainbowwarrior> lotuspsychje :- mismatch
[00:14] <teh_the> thanks lotuspsychje will read trhough :) although my problem is only for the hdmi audio
[00:16] <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?
[00:17] <lotuspsychje> teh_the: maybe the pavucontrol from this thread: http://askubuntu.com/questions/112512/ubuntu-refuses-to-output-audio-via-hdmi
[00:18] <NTQ> My home is actually /var/lib/gdm?
[00:18] <NTQ> Why can I not login as the normal user?
[00:19] <somsip> Serdar: try this maybe: https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr
[00:20] <Serdar> somsip, thanks, I am checking
[00:22] <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?
[00:23] <Serdar> somsip, looks strange but works, thank you
[00:24] <somsip> Serdar: np
[00:26] <gr1zzlybe4r> does the external hard drive have the same file system that you're using on ubuntu? i've had problems with that before
[00:30] <Serdar> hmm strange thing with grub-install it says that /dev/md0 does not exist, but ls shows it clearly.
[00:31] <yeowza> Where does the .bashrc file go?
[00:31] <Serdar> ls -la
[00:32] <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
[00:33] <Serdar> does compiz still exist?
[00:34] <gr1zzlybe4r> touch ~/.bashrc
[00:34] <gr1zzlybe4r> and then edit it from there
[00:38] <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
[00:39] <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?
[00:40] <daftykins> NTQ: what are you looking at to believe you're called gdm? :)
[00:41] <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 :)
[00:42] <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.
[00:43] <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'.
[00:44] <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.
[00:45] <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.
[00:46] <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.
[00:47] <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
[00:48] <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
[00:49] <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
[00:50] <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
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <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'.
[00:53] <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.
[00:54] <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
[00:55] <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'.
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <daftykins> NTQ_: does this apply? http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t5.htm
[00:58] <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
[00:59] <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
[01:04] <clouddig> Where can I find the script that runs apt-get install?
[01:04] <teh_the> =)
[01:04] <clouddig> For example, if I say "sudo apt-get install munin", I want to see what that script does to install munin...
[01:04] <clouddig> Doe that make sense?
[01:04] <dhrosa> it's not quite a script, I believe it's a full program
[01:04] <somsip> clouddig: --dry-run
[01:05] <kostkon> clouddig, "apt-get source munin" to get the source package. without sudo
[01:05] <NTQ> daftykins: After enabling autologin for the user 'nicolas' in the gnome user settings, I was able to login as that user after restart without password.
[01:06] <NTQ> I hope I can login again WITH password if I disable that checkbox again.
[01:06] <abeyr> anyone knows if the nvidia bug (nvidia has fallen) was solved?
[01:07] <abeyr> anyone knows if the nvidia bug (nvidia has fallen) was solved?
[01:07] <kostkon> !detaisl | abeyr
[01:07] <kostkon> !details | abeyr
[01:07] <daftykins> abeyr: what bug?
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <abeyr> daftykins, the fans 100%, the led lights blinking, and finally the system shutdowns
[01:09] <daftykins> laptop?
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <abeyr> daftykins, some others say it is a nvidia bug
[01:12] <daftykins> abeyr: installed the latest BIOS? which nvidia driver? bumblebee or nvidia prime? (not 3 questions there)
[01:13] <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
[01:14] <abeyr> daftykins, with nouveau drivers the system stay normal
[01:14] <abeyr> daftykins, even when playing opengl 3d games
[01:14] <daftykins> yep still not April i'm afraid :)
[01:16] <abeyr> daftykins, ok
[01:24] <outlaw-666> whats up everyone
[01:25] <teh_the> thanks guys
[01:25] <teh_the> bye
[01:26] <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
[01:27] <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 :)
[01:28] <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
[01:29] <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 ?
[01:30] <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
[01:31] <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 :/
[01:32] <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
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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
[01:35] <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
[01:36] <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.
[01:37] <superherointj> I've just allowed Ubuntu system update and now video is broken.
[01:38] <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
[01:39] <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
[01:40] <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 ?
[01:41] <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
[01:42] <outlaw-666> no problem dhrosa
[01:43] <Danielbrazilian> Hello guys i would like to know what is in drm-intel-next and drm-intel-nightly
[01:43] <Danielbrazilian> i want to upgrade my kernel for ubuntu mate 14.04 lts with the intel driver included
[01:43] <outlaw-666> daftykins, and now im just rambling ... but what about if i have 1GB and a big swap... wont the 64bit run smooth ?
[01:43] <Danielbrazilian> please i would love some advice
[01:43] <daftykins> outlaw-666: no
[01:43] <outlaw-666> ok :D
[01:43] <daftykins> when you touch swap, life is over
[01:43] <daftykins> ;)
[01:43] <outlaw-666> ahah
[01:44] <cfhowlett> Danielbrazilian, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade        will update all that is presently in ubuntu repos
[01:44] <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
[01:45] <daftykins> just use your computer and see how it goes :)
[01:45] <daftykins> i think you're worried for nothing
[01:45] <outlaw-666> someone told me that lubuntu will be faster
[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> no no .. i just installed it on a fujitsu from my ps3 that died
[01:45] <Danielbrazilian> i think i actually have this installed
[01:45] <Danielbrazilian> xserver-xorg-video-intel
[01:45] <cfhowlett> outlaw-666, compared to ubuntu?  probably.
[01:46] <outlaw-666> cfhowlett, compared to xubuntu
[01:46] <Danielbrazilian> from xedgers
[01:46] <cfhowlett> outlaw-666, not by much but test it: sudo apt-get install lxde                logout/choose lxde|lubuntu session/login
[01:46] <Danielbrazilian> is there any better driver? i want to install to see if improve gaming performance
[01:47] <cfhowlett> Danielbrazilian, did you install the native linux intel driver??
[01:47] <daftykins> Danielbrazilian: using intel and gaming? not worth trying.
[01:47] <outlaw-666> i was thinking about something ... to get the lubuntu, and install it on another partition on this disk
[01:47] <cfhowlett> true ^^^
[01:47] <outlaw-666> and to compare them
[01:47] <outlaw-666> the trouble is that i kinda like xubuntu, i have it a few months now
[01:48] <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
[01:49] <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
[01:50] <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
[01:51] <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
[01:52] <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
[01:53] <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 ?
[01:54] <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
[01:55] <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.
[01:56] <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
[01:57] <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
[01:59] <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
[02:00] <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
[02:01] <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
[02:02] <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."
[02:03] <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
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <superherointj> What is "supubuntu"?
[02:05] <Ben64> superherointj: what video card, what do you do to fix it each time
[02:06] <OerHeks> wrong chatnamecompletion with {tab}
[02:06] <OerHeks> !tab
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <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.
[02:09] <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.
[02:11] <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.
[02:12] <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?
[02:13] <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
[02:14] <mutual> and now i can't get anything to happen when i insert cds
[02:14]  * superherointj will have to quit here. To restart.
[02:15] <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 ;)
[02:18] <superherointj> Just tried the PPA, now video graphics is broken again. lol
[02:20] <gwendolyn> hi!
[02:21] <CoolishPrune_> Hello
[02:21] <superherointj> hi
[02:21] <c_nick> .close
[02:21] <CoolishPrune_> I need help.
[02:21] <somsip> !details | CoolishPrune_
[02:22] <CoolishPrune_> Hold on, mother is calling me >.<
[02:23] <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
[02:24] <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
[02:25] <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
[02:26] <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
[02:28] <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?
[02:29] <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
[02:30] <dupingping> Ben64, Hi, thank you.
[02:31] <dupingping> Ben64, Thus, where i can find this information or statistics?
[02:31] <Ben64> no idea
[02:31] <dupingping> yes
[02:32] <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
[02:33] <ObrienDave> CoolishPrune_, it's ok. Lubuntu users welcome here
[02:38] <aeon-ltd> CoolishPrune_: btw the end of your message got cut off it stops at 'now i can't even connect wi...'
[02:44] <monkwitdafunk> hi. i would like to irc about the diffrence between desktop and server when using the same kernel
[02:45] <monkwitdafunk> im using 12.04.2 amd64
[02:45] <monkwitdafunk> 14.04.2 actually
[02:45] <monkwitdafunk> i have 12.04 as well
[02:47] <monkwitdafunk> sysrq doesnt work when my gnu linux box freezes
[02:47] <monkwitdafunk> for desktop but server always has sysrq working well
[02:47] <acker> Hello
[02:48] <monkwitdafunk> is my answer to stay with an older kernel for my favourite 2008 hardware?
[02:49] <acker> I created a partition table using parted and when I run "lsblk /dev/sdx" afterwards, the partitions are smaller and the whole drive seems to have shrinked for about 5Gb
[02:49] <acker> Is there something I miss?
[02:49] <monkwitdafunk> i get depressed when i need newer hardware to be honest
[02:50] <monkwitdafunk> more new*
[02:52] <ObrienDave> acker, make sure your reading the size in the same units. some report 1M = 1000K, some 1M = 1024K
[02:53]  * monkwitdafunk waits for input
[02:53] <acker> Hmm
[02:53] <ObrienDave> acker, or some report 1G = 1000M, some 1G = 1024M
[02:54] <acker> But that doesn't shrink a 80Gb Harddrive to 74.5Gb
[02:54] <monkwitdafunk> brb ubuntu channel
[02:55] <ObrienDave> acker, 80,000,000,000 bytes = 74.5058 GB
[02:56] <ObrienDave> acker, hard drives are measured in 1GB = 1,000MB NOT 1024MB
[02:56] <acker> How comes?
[02:57] <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...
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <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] <dupingping> aeon-ltd, Where i can post any forum?
[02:59] <dupingping> Please let me know it.
[02:59] <ObrienDave> find one LOL
[03:00] <aeon-ltd> dupingping: ubuntu has a forum, you can post on the offtopic section
[03:00] <aeon-ltd> or any non support section
[03:00] <dupingping> yes
[03:06] <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?
[03:07] <shreezbot> For example, if I go out of town and my laptop battery dies and I have to use a coworker's laptop to log into my server I'm basically stuck unable to log in because I don't have the public key.
[03:07] <ObrienDave> keep public key on USB drive?
[03:08] <shreezbot> If I keep that key on a USB drive, can I use it from both Putty and the terminal ssh client?
[03:08] <ObrienDave> i would not know
[03:15] <hay207> hi guys, i got a simple question about nautilus background :http://askubuntu.com/questions/465908/how-to-change-background-of-nautilus-in-ubuntu-14-04
[03:15] <hay207> how cp works without linking?
[03:15] <hay207> i don't get it
[03:16] <hay207> do nautilus search for a certain file to locate themes?
[03:19] <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.
[03:22] <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
[03:23] <Bashing-om> Ricke3: 14.04 + try -> sudo a[t-get autoremove <- to remove old lernels .
[03:24] <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] <ObrienDave> Ricke3, each kernel version is ~275MB
[03:24] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, and the entire /boot = 500 mb or so ...
[03:24] <Ricke3> Cool ObrienDave
[03:25] <Bashing-om> Ricke3: LVM ? there is a bug report of /boot partition created too small .
[03:25]  * ObrienDave has 50GB / partition
[03:25] <Ricke3> That seemed to remove them, let's see if there is enough space now.
[03:25] <SchrodingersScat> cptn_drake: what is synergy?
[03:26] <Ricke3> No Bashing-om, just a ASUS netbook.
[03:26] <Ricke3> an*
[03:26] <cfhowlett> Ricke3, df -H
[03:26] <Ricke3> Hm cfhowlett ?
[03:26] <cptn_drake> i havent heard of synergy between machines except in scfi
[03:26] <SchrodingersScat> !info synergy | cptn_drake
[03:28] <Bashing-om> Ricke3: Providing the output of cfhowlett's directive to a pastebin will remove all speculation .
[03:28] <Ricke3> Oh ok, I got this at the end of the first command. Let me run the next one.
[03:28] <Ricke3> http://pastebin.com/LJ8w0rxz
[03:28] <cptn_drake> i dont have synergy installed
[03:28] <Ricke3> http://pastebin.com/qqNXN0a7
[03:28] <SchrodingersScat> cptn_drake: you probably just have a bad case of ghosts, then.
[03:28] <Ricke3> Second output.
[03:29] <acker> Someone using btrfs for root-partition?
[03:31] <Bashing-om> Ricke3: Yep ! see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093 . for the error -> sudo update-grub <- .
[03:32] <Ricke3> Wow, thanks Bashing-om. That's right on.
[03:32] <ObrienDave> acker, why do you want to do that?
[03:33] <Bashing-om> Ricke3: :) , ya just got to keep a close eye on /boot .
[03:34] <acker> I've heard it's developing pretty fast and has some performance-improvements while not bein unstable anymore...
[03:34] <Ricke3> Bashing-om, definitely. Now I know. :)
[03:36] <acker> What do you think, ObrienDave? Still too experimental?
[03:36] <ObrienDave> acker, not sure if btrfs would be supported here. i suggest sticking with ext4 for now
[03:41] <limbera> i recently had some help in here with setting up key auth for my ubuntu server
[03:41] <limbera> for ssh
[03:41] <limbera> but i regularly use scp and have just realised that i can't use it anymore because i disabled password auth
[03:46] <SchrodingersScat> limbera: worked with keys for me
[03:46] <Amm0n|> limbera, scp -i keyfile? read man scp
[03:48] <limbera> sorry i should have specified
[03:48] <limbera> that i had to custom install ed25519
[03:48] <limbera> i worked it out though - i need to use /usr/local/bin/scp
[03:49] <limbera> and not just scp
[03:56] <Aeiortv> If I remove unity and then apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, will unity be re-installed?
[03:56] <cfhowlett> Aeiortv, no
[03:57] <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
[03:58] <cfhowlett> !flavors | if you see a DE you prefer, install that flavor
[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
[03:59] <ObrienDave> ROFL tracked. *giggles as he saunters away*
[03:59] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, snark alert!
[03:59] <Aeiortv> I can always run the script at fixubuntu.com. Thanks for the help though.
[03:59] <xcyclist> Alright, if I set my default editor with sudo update-alternatives --config editor to vim.  WTF does crontab -e still use nano?
[04:00] <xangua> Aeiortv: or just open privacy settings
[04:02] <cfhowlett> Aeiortv, you are referencing and old site to get an old solution to a solved problem ...
[04:02] <Aeiortv> cfhowlett: Solved? What's the solution?
[04:02] <cfhowlett> Aeiortv, as noted above: privacy settings
[04:03] <xcyclist> Why is there both a select-editor and an update-alternatives --config editor????
[04:04] <xcyclist> Is this some weird case of debian infighting?
[04:04] <Ben64> no
[04:05] <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????"
[04:06] <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?
[04:07] <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
[04:08] <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?
[04:09] <Flannel> xcyclist: do you have EDITOR or VISUAL variables set?
[04:09] <Ben42_> read what it says when you use update-alternatives
[04:10] <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.
[04:11] <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/
[04:12] <xcyclist> Neither is set.
[04:13] <xcyclist> Gotta go guys.
[04:21] <linuxuz3r> how do i turn on failsafe option in ubuntu
[04:21] <ObrienDave> failsafe?
[04:21] <linuxuz3r> yes
[04:21] <linuxuz3r> just X
[04:22] <ObrienDave> what failsafe option are you talking about?
[04:24] <linuxuz3r> its running x11 desktop
[04:24] <linuxuz3r> not gnome shell or gnome or unity or kde but pure x11
[04:25] <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] <linuxuz3r> oh i have to boot to recovery?
[04:25] <noteness> Yes
[04:26]  * ObrienDave wonders if there's an official x11 channel :)
[04:26] <Stifler> linuxuz3r, what is actual problem? did you set your resolution too high or something?
[04:26]  * Stifler Bets there is ..
[04:26] <linuxuz3r> im trying out display server
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> when i kill x it runs it again and puts me to a login screen
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> by going this route i cant launch wayland
[04:27] <Bashing-om> linuxuz3r: You mean boot with no GUI running ? Then boot from grub > prompt with "text' boot parameter .
[04:27] <linuxuz3r> ok thanks
[04:29]  * Stifler wants a bot with !ybwiyap = Yes But What Is Your Actual Problem?
[04:31] <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?
[04:34] <Stifler> clouddig, are you running 'mpstat -u 1' or similar?
[04:35] <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.
[04:36] <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
[04:37] <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.
[04:38] <slacka123> yeah I got it
[04:38] <slacka123> thanks
[04:40] <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 ?

[05:04] <jennie_> how do I access desired partition?
[05:04] <jennie_> new to this
[05:04] <theos> hey! i am getting the usual xscreensaver unlock screen with red fire etc. i want something like thi instead https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hDPM4bQ00fM/Ubmro2FmZHI/AAAAAAAAPg0/hjog0LsOtXQ/s1600/lubuntu-lock-screen.png
[05:05] <theos> getting this right now https://i.stack.imgur.com/OspNh.png
[05:05] <theos> jennie_ what do you mean by access?
[05:05] <Stifler> jennie_, how do you mean? which partition as an example?
[05:06] <jennie> sda4
[05:06] <theos> nautilus /dev/sda4
[05:06] <jennie> I want to cd into that partition so that I can play mp4 from there from terminal
[05:06] <Stifler> jennie, the moust is there : /media/linux/C0DC872ADC8719B4
[05:07] <Stifler> mount*
[05:07] <jennie> Stifler: do I just h ave to Cd /media/...
[05:07] <jennie> ?
[05:07] <Stifler> yes
[05:07] <theos> no need to cd though. just use the full path to the file. mpg321 /meda/linux/pathtofilr.mp4 etc
[05:09] <Bashing-om> jennie_: ?/ What is the motivation factor ? the original problem ? Which partition do you wish to mount and access ?
[05:10] <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
[05:12] <theos> jennie why sox? mpg321 can play songs fine from commandline
[05:14] <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.
[05:17] <theos> jennie sudo apt-get install mpg321. it should be installed by default though. then type "man mpg321" to learn how to use it.
[05:19] <jennie> i always have trouble understanding man pages :-(
[05:22] <ObrienDave> they're not written for the faint of heart :)
[05:25] <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.
[05:30] <jennie> Alright, I will try that.
[06:29] <rick__> hi all,
[06:29] <rick__> Is it possible to use xterm in 1920x1080 resolution but auto adjust the font size to make it show 80x24 columns and rows in fullscreen mode?
[06:30] <stanford_drone_> rick__, this is not OSX
[06:30] <theos> xterm is a linux software
[06:31] <rick__> sorry ...I may enter wrong channel....
[06:31] <rick__> thanks for your reminder
[06:31] <Andrei_> Hi, I have a question about the Ubuntu 14.10 setup,  if I choose to Erase Windows 7 and Install Ubuntu will it also delete the partition I made for my important files?
[06:32] <Ben64> Andrei_: it may
[06:32] <rick__> um...It seems here is ubuntu channel...
[06:32] <rick__> I am using ubuntu 14.04 now
[06:32] <theos> rick__ http://askubuntu.com/questions/161652/how-to-change-the-default-font-size-of-xterm
[06:33] <Andrei_> If that's the case, can I just delete my Windows 7 partitions then create 1 root partition and proceed with the installation?
[06:34] <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
[06:35] <cihhan> Ben64, Let me check asap
[06:36] <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
[06:37] <cihhan> and the dependencies stayed there. I see. Thank you very much Ben64, this was really very helpful :)
[06:40] <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
[06:42] <rick__> Does this means I need to prepare a fixed font who's size is in given width and height I want?
[07:00] <theos> rick__ i find xterm to be very basic. you can try gnome-terminal.
[07:03] <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
[07:07] <theos> i see
[07:09] <theos> rick__ gnome-terminal supports vt220 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/gnome-terminal.1.html
[07:12] <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.

[07:33] <malick> somsip: owk and how can i write a software am having difficulties in learning the language
[07:34] <somsip> malick: find some online tutorials. This is for ubuntu support only
[07:37] <malick> somsip: its difficult to understand
[07:37] <somsip> malick: programming is like that. Find an easier language maybe
[07:40] <malick> somsip: a tip maybe of the easy language??

[07:40] <KnightsOfNi> Hi. Logging in with ssh to a main server, then in the command line ssh into a virtual host... I need to backup the files in the virtual host. So can I login somehow with a graphical client or backup with putty to my local drive?
[07:40] <lewis1711> malick: where in india are you from?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> somsip, python
[07:41] <malick> lewis1711: nop @tanzania
[07:41] <somsip> malick: what language are you trying to learn?
[07:41] <somsip> KnightsOfNi: you want to backup the files from the VM to your local host? Depending what files, rsync maybe
[07:42] <KnightsOfNi> drupal files
[07:42] <KnightsOfNi> php
[07:42] <somsip> KnightsOfNi: rsync will be fine then
[07:42] <niche> Can anyone help me remove Unity on 14.04?
[07:42] <cfhowlett> !nounity | niche
[07:43] <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] <KnightsOfNi> somsip, can I use that with putty and it downloads and syncs the files?
[07:43] <somsip> KnightsOfNi: what is your host? Windows?
[07:43] <KnightsOfNi> yea
[07:43] <cfhowlett> malick, if PYTHON is too complicated, you might want to reconsider your career trajectory   :)
[07:43] <somsip> malick: WHS, hence my suggestion to look at 'scratch' which is *very* basic
[07:44] <malick> somsip: let me make a look at that
[07:44] <somsip> malick: I will
[07:44] <KnightsOfNi> or visual basic :p
[07:44] <somsip> KnightsOfNi: no idea bout what to do on windows. Install cygwin maybe?
[07:45] <KnightsOfNi> but the server is ubuntu
[07:45] <KnightsOfNi> can't I login with filezilla to the virtualhost?
[07:46] <somsip> KnightsOfNi: you still need a client on windows. Re filezilla, yes if you have ftp enabled (or maybe scp in filezilla, dunno)
[07:46] <KnightsOfNi> I have a client, but I can only sftp to the main server

[09:25] <reginn> I was looking to dualboot win8 and ubuntu, is it enought to create a single partition for the ubuntu part? After reading the DiskSpace help it seems to want me creating a partition for every small bit.
[09:26] <klys> reginn, it is reccommended to have two partitions, one for / and one for swap.  anything beyond that is just a convenience.
[09:26] <mcphail> reginn: Best to have a separate partition for swap space. Otherwise it is fine to keep everything else on one partition (particularly if you use something like btrfs which offers subvolumes)
[09:28] <reginn> klys mcphail : Thanks!

[09:48] <Seidr> I've setup a new Ubuntu 14.04 installation - while attempting to setup the interfaces (which require a couple of post-up commands to setup the routing table), I found my routes were not being added.

[10:00] <tankenmate> i'd rather not have to trawl through the source to find out how... :/
[10:02] <klys> avihay_work, how is that done
[10:06] <Avihay_work> in the olden days, you could run the screensaver with the -root flag, in unity, you may need to disable the desktop some way

[10:18] <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
[10:19] <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?
[10:21] <chotaz> klys: there?
[10:23] <duckey> Is the desktop-iso the actual iso for xubuntu?
[10:23] <mcphail> freddyb: is the root filesystem on the usb hdd?
[10:26] <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
[10:27] <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"
[10:28] <freddyb> mcphail: not at all. should I? :-) what does it do?
[10:30] <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
[10:33] <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
[10:34] <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.

[10:41] <developer669> anyone here used lxml before?
[10:42] <freddyb> mcphail: I'll do some experiments. do you know a good website where to read up what soft and pt exactly mean?
[10:42] <freddyb> mcphail: website or manpage*
[10:43] <mcphail> freddyb: dare I say it, I think I'd been reading about it on the arch wiki or somewhere similar

[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
[10:47] <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

[11:21] <chotaz> Ok I've managed to get into recovery. However after resetting my username's password and rebooting, when I try to log back in, the login screen just flickers and requests for the password again, no wrong password or anything shows up, the screen just flickers and gets back to the login screen
[11:23] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:25] <brotkiste> did you try Ctrl+Alt+F1 to login?
[11:26] <Svetlana> what software should be responsible for reconnecting to wifi after i resume from suspend?
[11:26] <mcphail> chotaz: I've had similar problems in the past and found it very difficult to debug, as nothing was even written to the logs. I'll be following this discussion closely...
[11:29] <k1l> Svetlana: networkmanaer should do that. but make sure the module for the wifi is loaded after resume
[11:31] <Svetlana> k1l: networkmanager should stil be running after resume i think. how do i check the module?
[11:32] <Svetlana> k1l: what happens is i resume after suspend, i restart network-manager and the wifi start working.
[11:40] <lewis1711> I can recognise an MPT device (android tablet), but not connect to it. any ideas? using mtp-detect
[11:44] <k1l> Svetlana: see "lsmod" if the module is loaded at all. and see the logs like dmesg if there is some issue with it.
[11:45] <bedpanboy> Anyone?
[11:45] <k1l> Svetlana: maybe its just that the networkmanager is loaded before the module is loaded. but i dont know how to diagnose that or solve that. but its a possible scenario imho

[12:03] <idv> Hello everyone
[12:04] <ablest1980> hello
[12:04] <ablest1980> i get in firefox
[12:05] <ablest1980> Your browser couldn’t load this Java game.
[12:06] <ablest1980> anyone here?

[12:18] <grimx> how can I get the docs for Rectangle,Text,etc in Ubuntu-SDK?
[12:27] <mcphail> grimx: I think the SDK only documents the Ubuntu extensions to qml. Documantation on the standard qml components will be on the qt website
[12:27] <grimx> oh
[12:28] <mcphail> grimx: there's also a qml tutorial book on github called something like "qml cadaques"
[12:29] <grimx> mcphail: thanx

[12:48] <KnightsOfNi> Hi guys, is it possible to install linux on an external drive and use it as a portable environment? So that I can use that drive to boot on multiple pcs and work from anywhere?
[12:52] <ablest1980> ty hateball
[12:57] <qdii> hey guys. I'd like to make a tool that collects info about some installed packages
[12:57] <ablest1980> knights0fni
[12:57] <qdii> like, "what version of glibc is installed, if any"
[12:57] <qdii> are there some C libs that I could use?
[12:57] <masterkorp> hello
[12:57] <masterkorp> https://www.zerobin.net/?4b4efa69172a221e#8EZ99bTkS/XxlTBRb4x/+l3Y6n/1ToOKF10d1N3S93w=
[12:58] <masterkorp> i am having this problem
[12:58] <ablest1980> hello
[12:58] <ablest1980> zerobin like pastebin?
[12:58] <masterkorp> yeah
[12:58] <ablest1980> free?
[12:59] <masterkorp> yes
[12:59] <ablest1980> ty
[12:59] <ablest1980> i save the site
[13:01] <rypervenche> masterkorp: Where did you get the postgresql-9.3 package from? A PPA? A single package download?
[13:02] <k1l> masterkorp: well, its not included in the official repos. so the one you got the package or repo from should be talked to to correct that issue
[13:03] <mcphail> qdii: i suspect the tool you're making exists already
[13:04] <ubuntu536> bonjour tt monde
[13:04] <rypervenche> !fr | ubuntu536
[13:09] <qdii> mcphail: my tool would report that to a company, among other parameters like kernel settings, some file privileges. we want to make life easy for noob users. they would run our tool, and we would have all the info we need to diagnoze problems and help them
[13:11] <mcphail> qdii: simialr to apport and the steam tool?
[13:13] <lnb> have vps with multiple ip's. how can i browse internet using my different ip addresses?
[13:20] <qdii> mcphail: yea, except that it would not only fire upon segfault. the user could run it anytime. our program requires some fine tuning which doesn't cause a crash but lower performances than expected
[13:21] <JokeArt> i got this error, how to fix it?
[13:22] <JokeArt> "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/librxtxParallel.so"
[13:22] <ablest1980> hateball ty java is working now in my browser
[13:22] <JokeArt> "/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't link /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/li�wx_gtk2/_plot-2�8.so.0 to libwx_gtk2u_plot-2.8.so.0.8.0
[13:23] <mcphail> qdii: I'm not sure if therer are C libs which allows you to easily query the apt database as most of apt (iirc) is written in perl. There is libapt-pkg-dev but I don't know if it is what you need. The other option is to write something which trawls through the apt install logs or calls the tools themselves to query the databse
[13:23] <hateball> ablest1980: :)
[13:23] <JokeArt> how to fix this error "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/librxtxParallel.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start."
[13:23] <ablest1980> :)
[13:24] <JokeArt> it's make me crazy
[13:24] <JokeArt> i googled it but can't find the solution

[13:30] <dstarh> attempting to alter our tomcat upstart script to redirect the logs to /usr/local/tomcat/logs/catalina.out, relevant parts of the conf are here https://gist.github.com/dstarh/a76eba3a3673d9c49b4e
[13:30] <dstarh> we're on ubuntu 14.04
[13:31] <dstarh> when i run sudo tomcat start, it doesn't start, i don't see anything logged in any of the usual places any idea where to see what might be going wrong?
[13:32] <dstarh> the initial version of the script https://gist.github.com/dstarh/62e9b5f7fb10e821ae72 did work with no issues
[13:32] <dstarh> the issue being we don't want it to send the logs to /var/log/upstart/tomcat.log

[13:36] <snebel> Hi
[13:37] <snebel> i'm trying to figure out why my ubuntu user beliongs to different groups depending on where i check
[13:38] <snebel> i meain if i make su - <user> with root account for exmaple
[13:38] <snebel> then id
[13:38] <snebel> i have the "correct" ones
[13:38] <snebel> following /etc/group file
[13:38] <snebel> if i run id command
[13:38] <snebel> from a fresh terminal started from the GUI
[13:39] <snebel> i have many others like cdrom etc
[13:39] <snebel> uid=1000(snebel29) gid=1000(snebel29) groups=1000(snebel29),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),124(sambashare)
[13:39] <snebel> i would like to understand whats happening...
[13:39] <snebel> i guess there is a relationship with the GUI/console mode
[13:39] <Pici> snebel: What do you mean 'correct' ones?
[13:40] <snebel> well, i mean the groups you can find into the /etc/group file
[13:40] <snebel> for my username
[13:42] <snebel> it's like now i have 2 different environments for the same user "at least for the group where i belong"
[13:42] <k1l> if you su maybe the env variables are not set properly
[13:42] <rypervenche> snebel: Can you pastebin the two different ones and the commands run for each please?
[13:42] <snebel> yes one second
[13:42] <k1l> especially with root user account involvment that is a known issue on ubuntu
[13:44] <snebel> http://pastebin.com/9A9k2jZC
[13:44] <snebel> find here the output of all uses cases i was talking about
[13:45] <snebel> This is a recent ubunut installation (yesterday)
[13:46] <k1l> snebel: "id user" just lists the groups 1000+, so i think that is a "security" issue and is likely to be expected.
[13:46] <k1l> snebel: the su - thing is known to be bad on ubuntu. use sudo -i for root shell
[13:47] <snebel> the real problem i have is with group 1001(rvm)
[13:48] <snebel> when my "session" is showing my this group i can run with no problem rvm
[13:48] <snebel> when is not showing this group i can't
[13:48] <snebel> let me make some test with sudo -i
[13:49] <k1l> snebel: hmm, but rvm group is shown on all outputs?
[13:49] <k1l> ah wait, its not on the first id
[13:50] <snebel> yep
[13:51] <snebel> i'm confused
[13:52] <jamesarch> well anyone  cal tell me  bquote>  what's mean?
[13:55] <dstarh> anyone know where I might find info on where upstart logs when it fails to start?
[13:58] <BluesKaj> dstarh, /var/log ?
[14:00] <dstarh> BluesKaj /var/log/what, I've ls -alt in /var/log tailed syslog kern.log and auth.log and i see nothing related to tomcat, in this case, erroring or not starting
[14:00] <BluesKaj> dstarh, or /var/log/syslog
[14:00] <dstarh> tailed that, i see no errors, it just fails to start
[14:00] <lnb> have vps with multiple ip's. how can i browse internet using my different ip addresses?
[14:01] <dstarh> this is my script https://gist.github.com/dstarh/a76eba3a3673d9c49b4e
[14:01] <dstarh> * a portion of it
[14:01] <qdii> mcphail: yeah, that would be my last-resort thing, but thanks for the pointer !
[14:01] <jamesarch> /var/log/upstart
[14:01] <dstarh> and one that works https://gist.github.com/dstarh/62e9b5f7fb10e821ae72
[14:01] <BluesKaj> duh
[14:02] <dstarh> jamesarch i see nothing in /var/log/upstart/tomcat.log with the broken script, it does indeed log there with the working script
[14:02] <qdii> dstarh: I did not know you could use env this way, maybe you mean "export" ?
[14:02] <ppf> dstarh: well what has changed between the scripts?
[14:03] <dstarh> ppf i'll post a diff
[14:04] <ppf> it's a dozen lines, diffing is possible in one's head :)
[14:04] <dstarh> ppf https://gist.github.com/dstarh/4c3eff9788def525e981
[14:04] <dstarh> lol
[14:05] <dstarh> they both exec $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run but one attempts to redirect it's output
[14:06] <ZIPY> can i execute commands in terminal that are waiting for input before they execute? i mean directly, not with a script file
[14:06] <daftykins> ZIPY: got an example? not quite following you
[14:06] <jamesarch> whell i can't open this link maybe for gfw
[14:08] <ZIPY> ok in a script you have to echo your text, read the input and then execute the command, can i do this alltogether within a single terminal command?
[14:08] <dstarh> qdii I don't think we need to export.  The working script does env with CATALINA_HOME and is used during the exec command
[14:10] <dstarh> whoops looks like we pinged a user name e xport
[14:11] <daftykins> ZIPY: i get this feeling you are asking for how to format a given example command with some switches so it performs the task in one go, but i can't quite tell ;)
[14:11] <dstarh> ppf any other thoughts or any suggestions on what to try?
[14:12] <dstarh> daftykins it sounds as if he wants to have a one liner that will echo some text, get some input from stdin and then send that input to another command
[14:12] <ZIPY> daftykins: yes thats what i meant
[14:12] <ppf> dstarh: did you check the contents of $CATALINA_OUT ?
[14:13] <daftykins> ZIPY: can you share what the command + task is, then? :)
[14:13] <jamesarch> What happened this link  http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/
[14:13] <dstarh> ppf yes nothing there either
[14:13] <dstarh> jamesarch noticed that when i was searching for info on upstart
[14:13] <snebel> dstarh: if i remember well on tomcat there was some catalina.out log file somewhere
[14:14] <ppf> dstarh: nothing there as in empty?
[14:14] <dstarh> ppf nothing there as not even created
[14:14] <ZIPY> for example a vlc command vlc -vvv http://ip:port:/tv.asf where i want to enter ip port in this example via prompt
[14:14] <ZIPY> with transcode parameters etc
[14:14] <dstarh> snebel when tomcat starts normally yes, when it starts via upstart, upstart redirects stdout and stderr to /var/log/upstart/tomcat.log
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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?
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <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?
[14:20] <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
[14:21] <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?
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:24] <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
[14:25] <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
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <d4g0n> hi
[14:28] <d4g0n> i am new to ubuntu, just have few days this cosmos
[14:28] <d4g0n> are there any ADVENCED torrent p2p clients? i need gui...
[14:29] <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
[14:30] <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 ?
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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?
[14:34] <sveinse> And how can I get plymouth to log everyting to the console?
[14:34] <d4g0n> easy dude...
[14:37] <petard_> Hello
[14:38] <petard_> how can I test nginx and/or apache performance in ubuntu 14.04?
[14:38] <petard_> I want to test one request time, concurency request and so on
[14:38] <pbx> petard_, `ab` is the usual tool
[14:39] <petard_> pbx: I know for ab for apache, but what about the nginx?
[14:40] <purp_> Can someone tell me what i did wrong in the link? http://pastebin.com/vuhK2sMQ
[14:40] <gammax90> @purp_ have you recently changed your hostname?
[14:41] <purp_> gammax90, yep, i solved that already, but the issue isn't solved.
[14:42] <gammax90> @purp_ the issue concern the hostname. Have you changed file /etc/hosts with your news hostname?
[14:42] <purp_> gammax90, wlan0 was there when it was down. but when i brough it up, it disappeared.
[14:42] <pbx> petard_, it doesn't really care what's on the target end
[14:42] <gammax90> @purp_ Check this http://askubuntu.com/questions/9540/how-do-i-change-the-computer-name
[14:42] <petard_> pbx: ok thank you
[14:43] <purp_> @gammax90 i changed already, but it is still the same
[14:43] <gammax90> 2
[14:43] <gammax90> @purp_ have you rebooted already?
[14:43] <teward> purp_: did you follow all three steps?  Did you also reboot?
[14:44] <adrian_1908> I removed some old kernel images via `apt-get autoremove`. However something residual remains when I run `dpkg --list | grep 'linux-image'` (http://paste.ubuntu.com/10669663/). Are those configuration file or something? Can I remove them too?
[14:45] <ppf> adrian_1908: there is the --purge option
[14:45] <daftykins> adrian_1908: i wouldn't worry about it
[14:45] <adrian_1908> ppf: does this do more than autoremove and would have removed those as well?
[14:46] <ppf> it does purge instead of remove, deleting configuration files as well
[14:46] <purp__> @teward http://pastebin.com/U6URZ2XS as you can see, i changed the hostname but the wlan0 disappearance is still the same.
[14:47] <adrian_1908> ppf: looks like it might be what I'm looking for.
[14:48] <bshambaugh> join #opencreds\
[14:49] <sveinse> where can I find the plymouth kernel line settings?
[14:49] <gammax90> @purp__ try the command 'sudo rfkill list'
[14:49] <gammax90> and print the output pls
[14:50] <purp__> @gammax90 it says : Can't open RFKILL control device: No such file or directory
[14:50] <adrian_1908> ppf: that did the job, thanks!
[14:52] <gammax90> try without sudo
[14:52] <hanan> can anyone help me with sound ?
[14:52] <purp__> @gammax90 no difference. same output.
[14:53] <hanan> very low output then ://
[14:56] <gammax90> Is rfkill installed? Try 'sudo apt-get install rfkill'
[14:56] <dstarh> ppf booted up a vm, the conf script cannot be run as a standalone script, it's more of a dsl and doesn't follow bash directly
[14:56] <dstarh> the parts i pasted were only the relevent parts of the script
[14:56] <dstarh> * that i changed
[14:57] <purp__> @gammax90 yes. here is the output : rfkill is already the newest version
[14:57] <swatti> anyone using NVIDIA SLI (ubuntu 14.04)?
[14:58] <purp__> @gammax90 for some reason i tried many solutions on the net but none of them worked.
[14:59] <ppf> dstarh: right. in that case, maybe FD redirection isn't supported in that script engine?
[15:00] <dstarh> ppf yeah i'm going to play with it more in my vm and see what i can make of it
[15:01] <gammax90> @purp__ really a strange situation. The wlan card is a usb card or a pci? Are you on a desktop or on a laptop? Which version of ubuntu are you running?
[15:02] <purp__> @gammax90 i am running a USB wlan on a raspberrypi 2.
[15:02] <purp__> @gammax90 running on ubuntu 14.04
[15:03] <gammax90> can you post your 'lspci' output?
[15:04] <purp__> @gammax90 output : lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
[15:05] <swatti> anyone using Nvidia SLI (ubuntu 14.04)?
[15:09] <DemHydraz> >Ubuntu is afrikaans for "I can't install debian"
[15:09] <gammax90> @purp__ ...and 'lsusb'?
[15:09] <newUbun_usr> has the suspend problem been solved?
[15:09] <purp__> @gammax90 before i enable wlan0: http://pastebin.com/gkT4PL8e
[15:11] <purp__> @gammax90 after i enable wlan0 : http://pastebin.com/TVGdk8gA
[15:12] <gammax90> @purp__
[15:12] <gammax90> nice
[15:12] <gammax90> let's try to follow this guide
[15:12] <gammax90> http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=462982#p462982
[15:13] <gammax90> It contains driver for your usb dongle. Check your linux version
[15:13] <purp__> @gammax90 i tried that a few hours ago. didn't help.
[15:13] <gammax90> Pay attantion that this guide works with raspbian (with ubuntu i don't know... :$)
[15:13] <gammax90> fine
[15:14] <gammax90> so i suggest switch to raspbian
[15:14] <purp__> @gammax to add on, when i did on raspbian, my pi crashed.
[15:14] <daftykins> you probably want to be in #ubuntu-arm for talking about this
[15:15] <alexises> Hi
[15:15] <an3k> Sorry that I have to ask here but google resulted in different and mostly not working solutions.

[15:15] <federicus> ciao
[15:15] <an3k> I'm running Ubuntu Server 14.04 and want to set grub as well as console to 1024x768
[15:15] <gammax90> @purp__ try instead channel #raspberrypi
[15:16] <federicus> !list
[15:16] <an3k> I did set GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 in /etc/default/grub and then update-grub && reboot
[15:17] <federicus> ciao
[15:17] <an3k> now the grub resolution is 800x600. the display resolution is 1024x768 but the console resolution is 800x600
[15:17] <federicus> !list
[15:17] <purp__> @gammax90 ok, thanks for your help anyway.
[15:18] <daftykins> federicus: stop that please

[15:24] <moniess> can some one help me please ? i can't fix my video drivers i am with amd.. tried 2-3 times from guides from internet but i can't install the proper one
[15:25] <daftykins> !amd
[15:25] <daftykins> ugh
[15:25] <daftykins> !ati
[15:26] <daftykins> moniess: followed the above?
[15:26] <moniess> yeah i downloaded the drivers but i can't install them ..
[15:27] <daftykins> explain in more detail
[15:27] <moniess> i download the drivers from the official site (ati) and after that i can't install them, the install file is missing
[15:28] <daftykins> moniess: missing? it should be sat in your downloads folder...
[15:28] <daftykins> have you tried just installing fglrx instead? you might not need the manual download
[15:28] <moniess> yeah but how to open them ?
[15:28] <daftykins> there are roughly a billion guides online
[15:29] <moniess> from fglrx or fglrx-updates
[15:29] <moniess> for*
[15:29] <daftykins> those just need installing via package or via 'additional drivers'
[15:29] <daftykins> nothing to do with downloading from AMD
[15:30] <moniess> okay thanks

[15:33] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs  mjayk
[15:34] <mjayk> take that as a no thanks bazhang
[15:34] <newUbun_usr> checked that link, doesn't specify how to increase my CURRENT swap file size
[15:35] <daftykins> btrfs is still experimental :P
[15:35] <bazhang> newUbun_usr, use a live gparted disk
[15:35] <bazhang> !gparted | newUbun_usr
[15:35] <somsip> newUbun_usr: under "Creating the swap partition", steps 3, 4 and 5
[15:36] <mjayk> daftykins, snapshots are make or break to me after using them xD but thanks
[15:36] <daftykins> ZFS does that too
[15:38] <mjayk> zfs for linux is even newer / more experimental right daftykins  ?
[15:39] <daftykins> don't think so
[15:39] <mjayk> if ubuntu has a snapshot tool like snapper for zfs id be all over it

[15:41] <lnb> how can i use my other static IPs for outbound web browsing?
[15:43] <newUbun_usr> checking if i got it right: to increase swap-file not partition size soltion is deleting current one n recreating a bigger one, right?
[15:43] <newUbun_usr> *solution
[15:44] <newUbun_usr> or installing gparted

[15:59] <jtdoncas> anyone know why my laptop resumes immediately after a `pm-suspend` (except the first time after a reboot)
[16:00] <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.
[16:01] <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.
[16:02] <an3k> I also modified /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually and set gfxmode=1024x768 and set gfxpayload=1024x768 but that also didn't worked.
[16:03] <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] <daftykins> did you update-grub after?
[16:03] <an3k> yes
[16:04] <moniess> how can i run cairo dock fall back mode on startup ?
[16:06] <OerHeks> an3k, all you need is 'vga=792' in the bootline AFAIK
[16:06] <sveinse> On ubuntu where does sudo pip install install to?
[16:07] <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?
[16:08] <an3k> however, I'll give it a try
[16:11] <an3k> OerHeks: Tried it. Grub menu is still 800x600 (800x600), bootup is in 720x400 (720x400) and console is in 800x600 (1024x768)
[16:13] <OerHeks> an3k, then i have no clue :-(
[16:14] <OerHeks> It should be 32 bit, 792, maybe it is 16 bit = 791 but that worked never for me http://www.pendrivelinux.com/vga-boot-modes-to-set-screen-resolution/
[16:16] <dstarh> ppf fya, i've run $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh run >> "$CATALINA_OUT" 2>&1 in bash and it works fine, then put it in a script block within upstart and it doesn't work from there either
[16:16] <dstarh> :\
[16:16] <dstarh> i've asked on #upstart but it seems rather dead at the moment
[16:17] <ppf> you could use init or systemd to manage your tomcat service if you're unhappy with how upstart does things
[16:19] <an3k> OerHeks: Thanks. I also tried the other settings (791, 792 and 824) but no difference

[16:30] <naftilos76> Hi, i know how to search in a file for a text pattern but i do not know how to do it when searching for 2 or more patterns with grep . I want to find lines starting with -N & -P
[16:30] <Guest7588> So not create a new partition?
[16:30] <naftilos76> i can do => cat file | grep "^-N"
[16:30] <ppf> naftilos76: you can spicify multiple -e's
[16:31] <naftilos76> how can i add the other pattern?
[16:31] <ppf> man grep
[16:31] <somsip> naftilos76: grep pattern1 file | grep pattern 2
[16:31] <somsip> *pattern2
[16:31] <k1l_> Guest7588: go in windows into the settings and shrink the windows partition from there. then boot the ubuntu usb drive and create new partitions into the free space and install ubuntu there
[16:32] <ppf> somsip: nah
[16:32] <ppf> grep -e blah -e bleh
[16:32] <Guest7588> How much space k1l_ ?
[16:32] <naftilos76> thanks a lot
[16:32] <Guest7588> How much should be shrinked in MB?
[16:33] <Guest7588> I have 281531 to use
[16:33] <k1l_> Guest7588: think about GB. tens of GB
[16:33] <Guest7588> 139179*
[16:33] <Guest7588> How much in MB?
[16:33] <Guest7588> would be good
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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.
[16:36] <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

[16:57] <PLMg> Hello, I want to run ubuntu from a USB stick but I remember I need to format the flash drive in a way different from the usual live cd. What do I need? :)
[16:57] <lyze> PLMg: i would use a live usb creator
[16:57] <givygivy> Is there any distribution that allows me to get the latestest version of programs on linux? For example, some softwares are blocked in some version on ubuntu
[16:58] <vervoid> I have a network issue with ubuntu, at first boot a few pages load fast, then all other pages load forever. Anyone had similar issues?
[16:58] <lyze> PLMg: when using linux and you want to create a ubuntu live usb stick then i would use "startup disk creator"
[16:58] <PLMg> lyze: does this way allow me to run apt-get update and upgrade and save them?
[16:58] <lyze> givygivy: arch linux
[16:58] <givygivy> lyze: thanks
[16:58] <dstarh> ppf finally figured it out, the script block works but it doesn't see anything created via env, when I move the env calls to export calls within the script block it works
[16:58] <lyze> PLMg: well i haven't tried using a live cd and store data on this. but in the creation with the program you can give it some space so i guess yeah
[16:59] <PLMg> I usually do a live cd with pendrive but it does not save the data. I will search for the way you sugested. thank you lyze
[17:00] <lyze> PLMg: http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/screenshots/u/usb-creator-gtk/9739_large.png   as you can see: on bottom of the screen you can reserve space for the stick (documents…)
[17:00] <lyze> so i guess thats the thing you need ;)

[17:03] <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'
[17:04] <yossarianuk> however it is not starting on boot =- how can I troubleshoot why it is not starting on boot
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <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.
[17:08] <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-
[17:09] <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
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> just upgraded to 14.10 after i saw the new Intel gfx driver was released, unfortunately it did not fix my weird Firefox fonts issue
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> wonder if someone else experiences the same thing
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> some pages it just shows no fonts whatsoever
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> and others it does
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> rebuilding font cache to no avail
[17:10] <SCHAAP137> anyone have a suggestion what to look at?
[17:10] <tankenmate> schaap137: are you blocking the sites that host the webfonts?
[17:11] <SCHAAP137> wow, did not think of that tankenmate, i am using µBlock though
[17:11] <SCHAAP137> possibly this is the problem, let's see
[17:11] <tankenmate> i use µBlock and haven't had any webfont issues, but you never know...

[17:12] <Guest7588> freerouShoShould I insert the USB, create a new partition from the empty available space and install?
[17:12] <yossarianuk> is #ubuntu-server a better place to ask about upstart not starting on boot ?
[17:12] <Guest7588> Should I insert the USB, create a new partition from the empty available space and install?*
[17:12] <iuza> tankenmate... wow... how can you display the micron ?
[17:14] <jq-> tankenmate: I looked into iptables, but is it better to use iptables on the server or on the router?
[17:14] <jq-> I'm running dd-wrt
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <jq-> Dewin|work: Yeah, I don't want tor to be able to get to my site at all.
[17:16] <OerHeks> jq-, "I want to ban the Tor network from my service." https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq-abuse.html.en#Bans
[17:16] <jq-> OerHeks: I've seen that, but I don't know what to do with ip lists.
[17:16] <jq-> I'm here to ask for the best way to handle it.
[17:17] <Guest7588> any ideas?
[17:17] <iuza> µ
[17:20] <k1l_> jq-: there is no "block this ip and your are done" solution, since that is not how tor works.
[17:21] <Guest7588> ...
[17:21] <jq-> k1l_: I know that, it needs to be updated every so often since tor ip's change
[17:21] <daftykins> Guest7588: boot it and all will become obvious

[17:40] <ycyclist> I am still trying to find out if there is a rationale to have two ways to set two apparently not equal subsets of editor defaults on Ubuntu:  select-editor, and update-alternatives –config editor.
[17:41] <ycyclist> I appparently need select-editor for crontab -e, but all others are covered by update-alternatives --config editor.  Is this some kind of oversight, or is there rationale here?
[17:41] <ycyclist> Note please, I do not have VISUAL nor EDITOR environment variables set.
[17:48] <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, ...)
[17:49] <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.
[17:50] <BenBE> daftykins: The delay was from yesterday ;-)
[17:51] <BenBE> daftykins: Brand is a Toshiba
[17:52] <daftykins> BenBE: latest EFI version i take it?
[17:52] <daftykins> this one is going to be beyond my experience i suspect
[17:52] <daftykins> seems our resident boot expert isn't in
[17:53] <BenBE> daftykins: Didn't update it specifically - and as the notebook isn't mine (and still with warrantee) I didn't want to update firmware.
[17:54] <BenBE> daftykins: Work-Around for now is booting from USB live stick, disabling the affected Windows entry using efibootmgr and things work for a while ... It's just not a good/viable solution in the long run.
[17:54] <daftykins> BenBE: oh, well at least read if there is an update available
[17:54] <daftykins> and see what it fixes in a changelog
[17:55] <BenBE> daftykins: I have the feeling I'll see this notebook again sometime soon :P Will check ^^
[17:56] <daftykins> firmware update won't affect warranty though

[17:57] <AndChat|54704> I'm having a problem with wireless in lubuntu
[17:57] <daftykins> ask away with details on one line
[17:59] <AndChat|54704> The first few websites load fast, but the others forever, I have an Intel wifilink 5100 agn, and I'm having the problems in Ubuntu and lubuntu

[18:04] <SCHAAP137> anyone else have fonts not displaying in Firefox on certain websites? checked the font packages, rebuilt font cache, not blocking webfont servers
[18:04] <SCHAAP137> what could it be?
[18:09] <DSdavidDS> Hello everyone, I am having an issue where I am asked to enter my password in a keyring every time I boot. How do I change it back to how it was before?
[18:10] <iuza> DSdavidDS, did you encrypt the system ?
[18:11] <DSdavidDS> iuza: yes, I have a password on it
[18:12] <iuza> DSdavidDS, no, i   mean, when you made the installation  ...
[18:12] <DSdavidDS> but rather than asking me to log in through the gnome UI, it goes directly to my main screen with a login box
[18:12] <DSdavidDS> looks like this http://ubuntuhandbook.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/unlock-login-keyring1.jpg
[18:12] <DSdavidDS> iuza: yes I did
[18:16] <jq-> Does this crash log make any sense to someone? https://leetfil.es/paste/9f8ddb3c
[18:17] <lasdam> hey. I'm getting a "running in low graphics" problem followed up by a hanging system when I boot. the only way I can boot up now is by using the recovery mode of an older (kernel?) version. I think the only thing I did before this happened was to remove selinux. I've tried re-installing gdm, ubuntu-desktop, and updating grub.
[18:18] <lasdam> what else can I try?
[18:18] <iuza> DSdavidDS, try this : http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/disable-unlock-login-keyring-ubuntu-13-04/
[18:18] <lasdam> oh, and I've reinstalled intel drivers as well (my gfx is an intel hd 3000)
[18:30] <ReGiStRaS> hi guys...I'm on 14.04 and how do I browse files like etc and system folfers
[18:30] <ReGiStRaS> folders*

[18:34] <JDAIII> quick question. Anyone set up an ubuntu vm on azure? I set one up and I'm not able to get an external connection to the VM. I can use apt-get to update, but I cannot ping external IPs and I cannot ping the vm from external IPs
[18:34] <Rust3dCor3> use alt + up
[18:34] <k1l_> ReGiStRaS: click on the left list onto the "computer" entrie
[18:34] <k1l_> entry *
[18:34] <ReGiStRaS> ahhh...
[18:34] <ReGiStRaS> they make it so difficult on Ubuntu!
[18:34] <k1l_> ReGiStRaS: its not difficult, just open your eyes :)
[18:40] <ReGiStRaS> Sorry...how do I enable SSH in 14.04?
[18:40] <ReGiStRaS> it seems that open-ssh is not available anymore...
[18:42] <DGravity> Hi, I am using ubunto for a while now. I am using ubuntu 14.10 , I am not able to get skype installed? when I run the commands in the terminal
[18:42] <heeen> ReGiStRaS: sure it is
[18:42] <SchrodingersScat> !info openssh-server | ReGiStRaS
[18:44] <ReGiStRaS> Package openssh-server is not available
[18:44] <ReGiStRaS> this is what I got
[18:44] <heeen> ReGiStRaS: try reloading, e.g. apt-get update
[18:45] <heeen> use a different mirror
[18:45] <erzo> How can i execute something like wget through python ssh remote?
[18:45] <EriC^^> !info openssh-server

[18:46] <kromatic> need help with ubuntu mysql
[18:46] <ReGiStRaS> is that command to update Ubuntu?
[18:46] <ReGiStRaS> like WIndows update?
[18:46] <SchrodingersScat> ReGiStRaS: It updates the repos, the apt-get upgrade upgrades the packages
[18:46] <lyze> !ask | kromatic
[18:47] <ReGiStRaS> ic...

[18:49] <JDAIII> quick question. Anyone set up an ubuntu vm on azure? I set one up and I'm not able to get an external connection to the VM. I can use apt-get to update, but I cannot ping external IPs and I cannot ping the vm from external IPs
[18:50] <JDAIII> I disabled the ufw and ipv6(netstat was showing a lot of [:::]
[18:51] <psycho123> hello
[18:55] <psycho123> what is better? Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu Server with xorg, dm and i3?
[18:55] <xangua> psycho123: server is better if you want a server
[18:56] <noah> my volume up key does not work anymore
[18:56] <an3k> psycho123: If you don't want all the "fancy stuff" go with server
[18:56] <fahadash> Where do I go to update my system date and time? using xfce
[18:57] <hggdh> psycho123: it tends all to be the same. If you install server, and then ubuntu-desktop, you end up with the same thing
[18:57] <noah> my volume up key does not work anymore
[18:57] <psycho123> @xangua i will don have unity
[18:58] <an3k> ubuntu-server is like debian. you get the graphical dosmode setup menu and if you select no packages then you got a very clean linux from where you can start
[18:58] <xangua> psycho123: me and you write read full sentences
[18:58] <help_dhcp> i'm not at my ubuntu box - i am at work. i need help changing from a PPPOE connection to a DHCP connect.
[18:59] <psycho123> sorry @xangua
[18:59] <xangua> !minimal | pystar89: if what you want is to install only what you need/want in ubuntu, consider using the minimal iso
[19:00] <topdownjimmy> can i pause the output of cat when a search match is found?
[19:00] <help_dhcp> My ISP gave me a new router 4 months ago, but ubuntu won't connect to the internet any more and I'm tired of using microsoft - the former connection was PPPOE and the ISP tech tells me i'm now on a DHCP connection. but Ubuntu does not recognize it...
[19:01] <an3k> help_dhcp: sudo /etc/network/interfaces
[19:03] <help_dhcp> how do i turn off PPPOE?
[19:03] <an3k> help_dhcp: you see at least auto eth0 and below a line starting with iface. paste that one line here
[19:04] <help_dhcp> @an3k sooo am at work, on a windows box, no where near my ubuntu install
[19:04] <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>?
[19:05] <noah> my volume up key does not work anymore
[19:06] <an3k> help_dhcp: yes, edit the /etc/network/interfaces. It should have the following for DHCP http://paste.ubuntu.com/10671961/
[19:07] <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] <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.
[19:08] <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
[19:10] <jhutchins> noah: Do any of your other media keys work?
[19:10] <noah> jhutchins: yes
[19:10] <noah> jhutchins: volume down works
[19:11] <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?
[19:12] <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
[19:13] <noah> jhutchins: xev gave nothing
[19:14] <bprompt> sl33k_:     try a "killall" on it,    to see the name of the process, do a  ->   lsof -c eclipse;
[19:16] <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"
[19:17] <gaucer> can smbd help me with xfce4-appearance-settings?
[19:18] <tankenmate> WOW! open xchange has bought dovecot and powerdns!
[19:18] <noah> my volume up "key" (Fn-F10) does not send an event
[19:19] <tankenmate> noah: have you got a USB or PS/2 keyboard?
[19:20] <noah> tankenmate: no. a laptop keyboard.
[19:20] <sl33k_> bprompt: killall eclipse did it
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <gaucer> anybody hear me?
[19:23] <ubone> ues
[19:23] <tankenmate> noah: # xinput list
[19:24] <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
[19:25] <tankenmate> noah: # xinput test 10
[19:26] <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.
[19:27] <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
[19:28] <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!
[19:29] <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
[19:30] <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
[19:31] <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*
[19:32] <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
[19:33] <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
[19:34] <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?
[19:35] <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
[19:36] <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
[19:37] <noah> tankenmate: I just though of something.
[19:38] <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?
[19:39] <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?
[19:40] <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?
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <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..
[19:43] <tankenmate> JDAIII: iptables -L -nv
[19:43] <jamie_> ubone: why would it just randomly start doing that now
[19:45] <ubone> it wants to make your day exciting
[19:45] <JDAIII> tankenmate, sorry, someone insisted on requiring my attention IRL. Only one entry ACCEPT udp * *
[19:46] <jamie_> well it choose an annoying time to do it....
[19:46] <jamie_> I just changed the rest of my passwords for the rest my stuff.... :\
[19:47] <levlaz> Any juju wizards around? :)
[19:48] <tankenmate> JDAIII: and the default policy on INPUT and OUTPUT is?
[19:48] <JDAIII> tankenmate, accept on both
[19:49] <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
[19:51] <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
[19:52] <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
[19:53] <tankenmate> JDAIII: email support is the only thing i could suggest then, sorry :/
[19:54] <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
[19:55] <levlaz> JDAIII: What is the IP address?
[19:56] <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
[19:57] <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
[19:59] <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 :)
[20:00] <JDAIII> levlaz, I get 6 returns, 0.0.0.0:22, 192.168.0.9:16001, ::::22, 0.0.0.0:68, 0.0.0.0:58044,::::28771
[20:01] <levlaz> JDAIII: and what you expecting besides SSH ?
[20:01] <levlaz> I mean what service is running that you want to reach lol
[20:02] <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?
[20:03] <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] <levlaz> I am assuming you are running Ubuntu right?
[20:03] <Bruce____> can i install 64bit ubuntu on a laptop with processor core 2 duo with 2 gb RAM?
[20:03] <levlaz> Bruce____: yes
[20:03] <Bruce____> thx
[20:03] <levlaz> Bruce____: np :)
[20:04] <JDAIII> tankenmate, lsof -i returns 8 entries, two of which are my connection, two others are ip4 and ip6 ssh, and the other 5 are the ports listed before plus bootpc as a port?
[20:05] <JDAIII> installing our software again, this will take a while
[20:05] <levlaz> JDAIII: no problem, I am sure its something simple and silly.
[20:05] <levlaz> Is apache running?
[20:05] <tankenmate> JDAIII: they probably support PIX boot
[20:05] <JDAIII> nevermind, our software will not install because it requires the ability to ping www.google.com or it will exit the script
[20:05] <levlaz> Or .. is that part of the long install process?
[20:06] <levlaz> :/
[20:06] <levlaz> lol
[20:06] <levlaz> Ar eyou not able to ping google???
[20:06] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04?
[20:06] <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.
[20:07] <JDAIII> I just tried and I just used wget successfully to download a zip file from a web address.
[20:07] <JDAIII> wonder why apt-get and wget work
[20:07] <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..
[20:08] <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 :)
[20:09] <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
[20:10] <JDAIII> Start, then host, then it exits out
[20:11] <noah> tankenmate: ok. back just to say this. it was definitely going up. gtg
[20:11] <daveomcd> when using grep is there a command i can use to stop when the screen fills with text? so that i can read it then let it continue?
[20:12] <archip> daveomcd command | grep | less
[20:12] <archip> aka less
[20:12] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04? i disabling secure boot but i cant get it through booting UEFI and booted into windows after install ubuntu
[20:12] <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] <daveomcd> how do i get out of it?
[20:12] <archip> daveomcd q
[20:12] <daveomcd> thanks!
[20:13] <archip> daveomcd and up/down arrows to navigate in case you didnt figure it out
[20:13] <silentnewb> please help
[20:14] <Bashing-om> !ask | silentnewb
[20:15] <silentnewb> anyone here using win 8.1 dualbooted with ubuntu 14.04? i disabling secure boot but i cant get it through booting UEFI and booted into windows after install ubuntu, do you guys have step by step gguide? i am new here, please help
[20:16] <vexn> Bashing-om, he did ask the question
[20:16] <EriC^^> silentnewb, is it a hp or toshiba laptop?
[20:16] <vexn> no trolling plz Bashing-om
[20:16] <Bashing-om> vexn: :))
[20:16] <vexn> Bashing-om, :)))
[20:17] <silentnewb> its Sony Vaio EriC^^
[20:18] <EriC^^> silentnewb, ok
[20:18] <EriC^^> try to press esc and get a boot options menu and choose ubuntu
[20:18] <silentnewb> any chance you guys dual boot with win 8.1?
[20:18] <EriC^^> i have win8 too
[20:19] <Bashing-om> silentnewb: A thought. When you installded ubuntu, did you install with the firmware in CCSM mode ? such that Windows requires to be booted in UEFI mode ?
[20:19] <silentnewb> i tried all F keys and esc but nothing happened EriC^^
[20:20] <EriC^^> silentnewb, check the bios for efi entries
[20:20] <silentnewb> it only have UEFI or Legacy mode
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <silentnewb> then  i boot and hold "assist" keys and it's back to UEFI mode again
[20:22] <silentnewb> there no efi or bios entry in my sony vaio
[20:23] <jamie_> anyone know how to reset the bluetooth daemon without a restart
[20:23] <fahadash> ubuntu rocks
[20:24] <fahadash> jamie_, Does ubuntu have service command?
[20:24] <jamie_> fahadash: what do you mean exactaly
[20:24] <fahadash> run this command: whereis service
[20:24] <fahadash> see if you have it
[20:24] <fahadash> I know Suse has it
[20:24] <fahadash> don't know about ubuntu
[20:24] <EriC^^> silentnewb, try turning the unit completely off, then press the assist key
[20:25] <silentnewb> Bashing-om i dont know exactly, what CCSM firmware
[20:25] <jamie_> fahadash: yes it does
[20:25] <fahadash> service restart btsvc (or whatever bluetooth service's name is)
[20:25] <jamie_> fahadash: Im not sure exactly what it is or how to find it
[20:26] <silentnewb> i have already do it, press assist key but only to booted into uefi options without ubuntu or grub there
[20:26] <EriC^^> is there any os boot manager or boot options menu? silentnewb
[20:26] <fahadash> jamie_, I am not too sure about bluetooth in particular
[20:27] <silentnewb> i dont know excactly, only boot from device/dvd rom options
[20:27] <jamie_> bluetoothhd is the closest thing i can find
[20:27] <jamie_> *bluetoothd*
[20:27] <EriC^^> silentnewb, try boot from device
[20:27] <silentnewb> weirdly there no boot option mentioning ubuntu Eric^^
[20:27] <EriC^^> if it doesn't show ubuntu, boot the live usb again
[20:28] <noah123> When I wanna use Dual Boot and has an unallocated space, what should I do in the installer of Kubuntu?
[20:28] <silentnewb> yes, i once tried with live cds EriC^^ but i dont know what to do afterward
[20:28] <jamie_> fahadash: does bluetoothd sound right
[20:28] <silentnewb> it cannot cettect my wireless driver
[20:29] <EriC^^> silentnewb, no problem, boot it and you can fix it from there
[20:29] <silentnewb> how? EriC^^
[20:29] <EriC^^> i'll give you the commands
[20:29] <noah> silentnewb: I think I can hep
[20:29] <noah> help*
[20:30] <noah123> any ideas?
[20:30] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you need to copy and rename the grub efi file instead of the windows one to trick your bios into booting it
[20:30] <EriC^^> i've the same issue on an hp laptop
[20:30] <noah> EriC^^: cant he just use boot-repair?
[20:31] <EriC^^> noah, well he could just rename it himself, it would be way quicker
[20:31] <EriC^^> noah, anyways he needs an internet connection for boot-repair
[20:31] <silentnewb> i worried i cannot boot up again into win 8.1 :( i'm not prepared to backup all my data sadly,
[20:32] <silentnewb> i cannot use boot-repair
[20:32] <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?
[20:33] <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
[20:34] <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
[20:35] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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?
[20:38] <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
[20:40] <jamie_> fahadash: thanks... its working now
[20:41] <fahadash> jamie_, What worked? Would you like to share?
[20:42] <noah123> OerHeks: Should the swap partition be logical?
[20:43] <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
[20:44] <EriC^^> silentnewb, you don't need an internet connection to fix it
[20:45] <noahmg123> EriC^^, silentnewb, yeah. sorry for the confusion. u don't need boot-repair
[20:46] <The> hello
[20:47] <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
[20:48] <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?
[20:49] <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
[20:50] <EriC^^> that way you wouldn't have to mount the efi partition and you'd just be in ubuntu as you would usually
[20:51] <EriC^^> nevermind
[20:52] <jamie_> fahadash: thanks for your help
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <EriC^^> if it doesn't boot you'd need a live usb to get win back so
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <joshumax> s/reposing/reposting/
[20:57] <silentnewb> okay, Eric^^ then what to do with the EFI partitions that i found?
[20:58] <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
[21:01] <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
[21:02] <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
[21:03] <EriC^^> silentnewb, sorry, sudo cp /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /mnt/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup
[21:04] <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..
[21:05] <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
[21:06] <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] <joshumax> Thanks
[21:06] <eikon81g> np
[21:07] <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] <akkad> well atm I can't install anything
[21:08] <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 ; )
[21:09] <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 :(
[21:10] <silentnewb> i hope your way can solve the problems Eric^^ thank you
[21:11] <EriC^^> silentnewb, no problem
[21:12] <lupobianco> irc://irc.chlame.net/atena
[21:13] <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
[21:14] <EriC^^> silentnewb, ?
[21:14] <silentnewb> Eric^^ okay, what should i do ? update grub?
[21:15] <EriC^^> silentnewb, type locate 20microsoft
[21:16] <EriC^^> it's /usr/lib/os-prober/mount/efi/20microsoft i think ( i'm not on ubuntu right now so i can't check )
[21:17] <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 ?
[21:18] <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
[21:19] <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
[21:20] <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.
[21:21] <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
[21:22] <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
[21:23] <Bashing-om> !dualboot | sparasite
[21:23] <sparasite> I have already read it
[21:23] <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
[21:24] <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
[21:25] <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
[21:26] <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?
[21:27] <noahmg123> sparasite: can you give the the link to where you downloaded it?
[21:28] <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_
[21:29] <noahmg123> sparasite: ok but first. amd64 or i386
[21:29] <mdxxx> hai
[21:29] <sparasite> amd64, noahmg123 but torrent
[21:29] <sparasite> valid checksum
[21:29] <sparasite> md5
[21:33] <benth> anyone know why rpcbind needs to run on nfs *clients*?
[21:34] <tankenmate> benth: in case you are using secure nfs so the client and the server can sync their time deltas
[21:35] <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
[21:36] <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 .
[21:37] <benth> tankenmate: ok thanks a lot
[21:37] <RudeViper> hmm - didn't see that - I'll check - be back

[21:50] <HanaNix> suse*
[21:52] <k1l_> HanaNix: you know this is the ubuntu support channel? :)
[21:53] <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: run a "sudo update-grub" and paste the output after its ended to a pastebin, please
[21:59] <maysara> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/fu5tQvca
[22:00] <maysara> Bashing-om: That's why I'm asking.
[22:00] <k1l_> maysara: that shows 3.16 is installed. try a reboot.
[22:01] <k1l_> maysara: or do you use the arch bootloader?
[22:02] <Exagone313> can the third line of this pastebin being ignored? I've the same error.
[22:03] <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
[22:04] <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.
[22:05] <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 ?
[22:07]  * eikon81g is away: brb
[22:08] <maysara> Still on 3.13
[22:08] <k1l_> !away > eikon81g
[22:08] <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.
[22:08] <Tazmain> hi all, I am going to upgrade my graphics card to either a GTX 980 or R9 290x now I want to know which has better drivers for linux both open and closed that will allow me to play games and have dual monitors ?
[22:09] <noahmg123> aaa
[22:10] <maysara> k1l_: I see. Thank you :)
[22:12] <k1l_> maysara: or you reinstall the ubuntu grub
[22:13] <Yuken> Installed Ubuntu from the mini iso, only chose a base server install since I didn't want to download the full desktop.
[22:13] <maysara> k1l_: I'll try that first then
[22:14] <Yuken> But, can I not connect to a WPA wifi network?
[22:14] <Yuken> Because that is my only method of connecting.
[22:14] <lasko> !raid | lasko
[22:15] <Yuken> o.o
[22:17]  * eikon81g is back (gone 00:10:34)
[22:18] <nullbyte_> well come
[22:21] <Yuken> Need help with a network problem, anyone here to answer?
[22:21] <lasko> !ask | Yuken
[22:22] <Yuken> Well, two things: I just installed a base server install via Ubuntu Mini, since I planned to install my own display manager, et cetera. But, I don't know how to connect to a WPA2 network. Secondly, when I try and boot from my USB that I installed Ubuntu from, it just boots into the normal system.
[22:27] <Azjo> Hi. I know this is a longshot but i dont know where else to ask. Someone is using my email on facebook and i cant take control of the account because i dont know the birthdate. It is NOT a serious email so i will NOT provide Passport etc to facebook support. how can i get fix this when facebook ignores me?
[22:30] <cyborgcygnus> Swap partition didn't install on fresh laptop ubuntu 14.04 install. Now after I enter the encrypt password at first boot it hangs for a while looking for the swap mount partition. How do I manually?
[22:30] <Danato> Azjo: how is that related to Ubuntu at all? you would have better luck with google
[22:31] <Azjo> been there done that. for a year. and reddit etc.
[22:31] <Azjo> i did say it was a longshot :)
[22:31] <k1l_> Azjo: this is not ubuntu related.
[22:31] <k1l_> !ot | Azjo
[22:31] <Azjo> shrug i tried :)
[22:36] <_alfalfa> where does rsync keep its logfile ?
[22:36] <_alfalfa> im getting rsync dying with code 12 want to look at the log
[22:41] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: 12     Error in rsync protocol data stream
[22:42] <_alfalfa> >
[22:42] <_alfalfa> yes trying to find where the log file is kept
[22:43] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: From where and to where are you rsyncing?
[22:44] <_alfalfa> from a amazon ec2 instance to my laptop , im on a public wifi
[22:45] <_alfalfa> the public wifi could be killing the connection i guess
[22:45] <_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] <_alfalfa> i looked in /etc ... its not there, and i dont see info about where they are in the man page so far
[22:45] <bekks> *manually even
[22:45] <_alfalfa> oh really ? ic
[22:46] <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
[22:47] <bekks> I doesnt die, it has to check the hash on both sides. That takes some time.
[22:50] <_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] <_alfalfa> has anyone ever experienced rsync failing on attempt to continue a transfer like this ?
[22:51] <bekks> 6s patience.
[22:52] <bekks> _alfalfa: How does rsync "fail" actually?
[22:53] <_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
[22:54] <rypervenche> _alfalfa: What is the command you're running?
[22:55] <_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
[22:56] <_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
[22:57] <_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
[22:58] <_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?
[22:59] <_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
[23:00] <_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 ?
[23:01] <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?
[23:03] <_alfalfa> rypervenche, why not try adding --implace ?
[23:03] <rypervenche> try it
[23:03] <_alfalfa> it doesnt know option --implace
[23:04] <rypervenche> inplace not implace
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <_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
[23:07] <_alfalfa> if it dies again ill start to wonder if i exhaused the file system
[23:07] <_alfalfa> but df says its at 78%
[23:08] <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
[23:09] <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)
[23:10] <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
[23:11] <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
[23:12] <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 ????
[23:14] <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
[23:17] <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
[23:18] <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
[23:19] <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
[23:21] <_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 ?
[23:22] <_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
[23:23] <_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
[23:24] <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
[23:25] <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
[23:26] <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 ?
[23:27] <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] <daftykins> copy + paste
[23:27] <_alfalfa> would this help outlaw-666 ?  http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/53542/how-to-determine-the-filesystem-of-an-unmounted-device
[23:27] <_alfalfa> shows how to detect file syhstem on a device
[23:27] <daftykins> _alfalfa: no that's useless, please don't help when you're unfamiliar
[23:28] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673541/
[23:28] <_alfalfa> why if he sees the usb device ti shoudl be avail in /dev shouldnt it
[23:28] <outlaw-666> oh wai, i messed up
[23:28] <daftykins> outlaw-666: so that's referring to seeing an 'sdc'
[23:28] <outlaw-666> gonna run without it
[23:29] <daftykins> what?
[23:29] <daftykins> _alfalfa: a reader is not a card.
[23:29] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673549/
[23:29] <outlaw-666> this is without the card reader on the pc
[23:29] <outlaw-666> now with it
[23:29] <_alfalfa> hes trying to use a magnetic strip reader ?
[23:29] <_alfalfa> that does sound "outlaw"
[23:29] <daftykins> what.
[23:30] <daftykins> what an absolute...
[23:30] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673562/
[23:30] <daftykins> outlaw-666: no i was saying unplug the card, but i can see sdc is the device now. can you run "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" ?
[23:30] <daftykins> buffer IO error, oh dear
[23:30] <outlaw-666> btw, i have a external hdd with usb
[23:31] <outlaw-666> just to let you know
[23:31] <daftykins> yeah maybe that's sdb
[23:31] <akkad> what on a default ubutnu system might add things to iptables drop?
[23:33] <outlaw-666> daftykins, btw .. this Sd card, has a Xubuntu install on it , and a Android memory on it also ... i used it before, and it kinda broke ... so now i have a real hdd on a external case ... but im trying to recover something from the card
[23:33] <daftykins> outlaw-666: i just want the answers to the commands i've asked for :) not life stories each time
[23:33] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:34] <daftykins> win 13
[23:34] <daftykins> oops
[23:34] <outlaw-666> the fdisk you wanted with the sd card plugged , right ?
[23:34] <daftykins> correct
[23:34] <outlaw-666> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673587/
[23:35] <outlaw-666> so doc ? what the life expectancy ?
[23:35] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:35] <outlaw-666> should i order a coffin allready ?
[23:35] <bekks> The patient already died.
[23:35] <daftykins> it's not even talking about sdc, novel
[23:35] <daftykins> yeah what bekks said
[23:36] <sterns> hello, looking for alpha testers for an instant messaging app: https://github.com/mattcollier/noxious
[23:36] <outlaw-666> ohh my god, he was so young ... he has 2 small kids
[23:36] <outlaw-666> lol
[23:36] <daftykins> i'd probably try to 'dd' up the card onto disk then try testdisk but i don't know if either are going to help
[23:36] <Cipher45> Can I just move stuff from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin with a simple mv command?
[23:36] <outlaw-666> try what daftykins  ?
[23:36] <outlaw-666> O.o
[23:36] <bekks> Cipher45: technically, you can - practically, you will break things.
[23:37] <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?
[23:38] <bekks> daftykins: Yeah, worth a try.
[23:38] <bekks> Cipher45: Then why dont yu setup the daemon but move stuff instead?
[23:39] <daftykins> outlaw-666: how big is the card?
[23:39] <outlaw-666> 16gb
[23:39] <sudormrf> daftykins, is there a way to disable all USB ports in Ubuntu?
[23:39] <daftykins> outlaw-666: you got that much space free?
[23:39] <daftykins> sudormrf: ask the channel not me
[23:39] <outlaw-666> on the HDD ? yeah
[23:40] <sudormrf> is there a way to disable all USB ports in Ubuntu?
[23:40] <sudormrf> after GRUB
[23:40] <daftykins> outlaw-666: image up the card as it is right now then, to avoid any further breakage. run "sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/home/username/cardimage bs=2M"
[23:40] <Cipher45> bekks, Sorry I'm a little confused. I can't setup the daemon because when I move the files it will break things?
[23:41] <sudormrf> think I found it
[23:41] <sudormrf> nm
[23:41] <garrettr> sudormrf: Grsecurity has some useful toggles for disabling USB: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grsecurity/Appendix/Grsecurity_and_PaX_Configuration_Options#Physical_Protections
[23:41] <sudormrf> garrettr, thanks :)
[23:41] <bekks> Cipher45: Why do you try to move files when your task is to setup a daemon?
[23:41] <outlaw-666> daftykins, sorry man, im a real noob ... what really should i run again ?
[23:42] <akkad> fail2ban?
[23:42] <outlaw-666> i copy pasted that .. i guess it was not how it was done
[23:42] <Cupidslate> hey guys
[23:42] <daftykins> outlaw-666: why don't you just *re-read* my messages?
[23:43] <outlaw-666> im giving u my most attention
[23:43] <daftykins> and you're asking me to repeat things which are on your screen? i don't get it
[23:43] <Cipher45> bekks, Because I'm using an init.d from the programs website. It assumes the program will be in /usr/bin. I may just move it and see what happens. What should I expect to break?
[23:43] <outlaw-666> you asked me if i had the card space free on my hdd, i said yes
[23:43] <bekks> Cipher45: Fix that script instead.
[23:43] <outlaw-666> and you told me that we were going to do something in order to prevent further breakage
[23:44] <daftykins> outlaw-666: read my message
[23:44] <outlaw-666> the last one ?
[23:44] <outlaw-666> where u told me to run a command ?
[23:44] <daftykins> the one with the command in it.
[23:44] <outlaw-666> yeah, i copied it and pasted it on terminal
[23:44] <Cipher45> bekks, I'll try that. Thanks for the help!
[23:44] <outlaw-666> nothing happened, error
[23:45] <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] <outlaw-666> dd: failed to open ‘/home/username/cardimage’: No such file or directory
[23:45] <sudormrf> or it looks like I need to figure out the driver that is being used for the root hub and blacklist that
[23:47] <daftykins> outlaw-666: you realise you have to substitute 'username' with your username?
[23:47] <outlaw-666> lol, i did not even read , sorry
[23:47]  * daftykins sharpens a penguin
[23:48] <daftykins> !pm
[23:49] <daftykins> !paste
[23:49] <daftykins> outlaw-666: please don't do that again
[23:49] <Yuken> Is there anyway to connect to a WPA2 network in the terminal, on a base server install, without installing any other programs?
[23:49] <outlaw-666> sorry daftykins :(
[23:49] <daftykins> Yuken: it involves hellish fun with wpa-supplicant i think
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: I believe you have to install that.. I don't have that, XD.
[23:50] <daftykins> server 14.04.1 at least has a bunch of wireless packages
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: Screwed my Windows 7 install, deciding to upgrade, but all I had on hand in terms of live USB's is Ubuntu Mini.
[23:50] <Yuken> daftykins: Loaded it up, chose "Base Server Install".
[23:51] <daftykins> nasty
[23:51] <Yuken> No way to connect?
[23:51] <outlaw-666> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10673663/
[23:51] <Yuken> I know iwconfig can connect to WEP networks.
[23:51] <Yuken> But, I don't haz a wep network.
[23:51] <daftykins> Yuken: can't you get on wired? :) even temporarily
[23:51] <daftykins> you could reconfigure it once
[23:51] <Yuken> daftykins: Parents have it set up weirdly, only wireless has internet access.
[23:52] <daftykins> outlaw-666: looks like it doesn't want to know
[23:52] <outlaw-666> so ? no more hope on it ?
[23:52] <outlaw-666> or did i do anything wrong ?
[23:52] <daftykins> you can repeat changing USB port
[23:52] <Arrick> anyone in here using xubuntu?
[23:52] <outlaw-666> ok
[23:52] <Yuken> daftykins: I would install a full Ubuntu Live CD onto an SD Card, but the PC I am using right now is _entirely_ locked down. No admin, no way to access external devices, etc
[23:52] <daftykins> but nope i'm done trying there i'm afraid
[23:53] <daftykins> Yuken: sounds like you should inform your parents you're living in a prison
[23:53] <clmclm> Arrick, specific xfce question?
[23:54] <outlaw-666> daftykins, nope .. changed port, same error
[23:54] <Arrick> clmclm, video
[23:54] <outlaw-666> i guess ill try a backside port .. and after that, i ill try to format it on the cell phone
[23:54] <clmclm> Arrick, ask your question
[23:54] <Arrick> hey all, I am trying to get my max resolution onto the hp z200 sff I just put xubuntu on, and it has an intel vga card capable of 1680x1050... Howver, the max resolution showing up is 1024x768.. I ran gtf 1680 1050 60.00 and I get the following line # 1680x1050 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 65.22 kHz; pclk: 147.14 MHz Modeline "1680x1050_60.00"  147.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsyncso... I ran xrandr  --newmode "1680x1050_60.00"  1
[23:54] <Arrick> 47.14  1680 1784 1968 2256  1050 1051 1054 1087  -HSync +Vsync and it gives me an error saying X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
[23:54] <Yuken> daftykins: So, anyway I can access a WPA network, or am I screwed?
[23:55] <daftykins> Yuken: try looking up a WPA supplicant guide for it, otherwise it's game over
[23:55] <Yuken> daftykins: That isn't installed, XD.
[23:55] <daftykins> outlaw-666: i thought you wanted the data on it...
[23:55] <Arrick> I had gotten the resolution to work in ubuntu but I couldnt get the resolution to stick
[23:58] <Yuken> daftykins: Do you think I could connect it directly to this PC, download the wpa-supplicant package, and copy it over? (Connect via ethernet)
[23:58] <Yuken> daftykins: If so, how?
[23:58] <outlaw-666> daftykins, thanks anyway man
[23:58] <outlaw-666> sorry i did something wrong :(
[23:58] <daftykins> sorry sounds like too much of a hassle than it's worth.
[23:59] <outlaw-666> its dead, going to try to format it on the cell phone
