[00:01] <ToeSnacks> how do you downgrade the kernel?
[00:02] <OerHeks> ToeSnacks, hold shift @ boot and select a previous kernel
[00:02] <ToeSnacks> OerHeks: there is nothing else required?
[00:02] <Lorne> hey all...
[00:03] <Lorne> I need some help with a Purple Screen of death... - can anyone walk me through recovery?
[00:05] <OerHeks> ToeSnacks, not that i know of
[00:05] <ObrienDave> there's a PSOD????
[00:06] <Lorne> yeah... I did some app updates today...and rebooted ....and it came back to a PSOD!
[00:06] <vince_the_ponder> I have a question about how to check if a computer has Internet connection, what is the most common way to check if a PC has Internet access? Do you browse to a web page or ping google.com or something?
[00:06] <Lorne> haven't been able to get a terminal or menu or anything.... just dead PSOD
[00:06] <ToeSnacks> OerHeks: thanks
[00:07] <Lorne> I googled the forums for it....and there was some discussion for v12... but not much for v14....
[00:08] <Lorne> Can I use a bootstick to "repair" my ubuntu?
[00:09] <Bashing-om> vince_the_ponder: -> ping -c3 8.8.8.8 , ping -c3 ubuntu.com <- verifies DNS .
[00:10] <vince_the_ponder> Bashing-om, thanks, I guess 8.8.8.8 is the address Google has decided will never fail then? (recognize it as their DNS server address
[00:11] <Moonlightning> I'm getting an error that a /dev/mapper device doesn't exist on boot. I poked around in the initramfs shell, and noticed that it didn't seem to have a `cryptsetup` binary. I've tried booting into a live system, chrooting into the installation, and then reinstalling the cryptsetup package and running `update-initramfs`, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Any ideas?
[00:11] <vince_the_ponder> Lorne, is the ubuntu installation on actual hardware or is it a VM? Regardless the bootstick is very useful tool and could be used to repair your installation
[00:13] <ToeSnacks> I appear to have ruined dpkg/apt somehow. When trying to run apt-get upgrade or apt-get autoremove or dpkg --configure -a I get this http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=qTau6Q3y
[00:14] <tallymarkd> anyone know anything about conky?
[00:14] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: sudo apt-get -f install
[00:15] <tallymarkd> whats -f?
[00:15] <vince_the_ponder> force
[00:15] <hkrrsx> ^^
[00:15] <tallymarkd> oh. well i have conky installed already i just dont understand it. i get its like rainmeter but im not sure..
[00:15] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: will try, thank you
[00:16] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: does -f work for --configure on dpkg as well?
[00:16] <bzmer> hi everyone -- i just mounted an iso file using the file browser GUI, but i want to know how to go to the mounted directory in terminal. could you tell me about this?
[00:16] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: " apt-get -f install " and " dpkg --configure " do 2 different things
[00:16] <hkrrsx> As far as I know, anyways
[00:16] <k1l> !conky | tallymarkd
[00:17] <Moonlightning> bzmer: if you don't know where it mounted, you can invoke `mount` with no arguments to get a list of mounted filesystems.
[00:17] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: dpkg is called by apt isn't it?
[00:17] <k1l> tallymarkd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky
[00:17] <tallymarkd> what is !conky like attention? confused
[00:17] <hkrrsx> !man dpkg
[00:17] <bzmer> Moonlightning: i did that (because i tried to google that), but i can't see anything in mount that seems relevant...this is a matlab ISO i got from my university department's IT person...
[00:17] <k1l> tallymarkd: conky is that what you tell it should be. see the several conky desktop pics to get a clue what is possible
[00:18] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: dpkg and apt-get work independently of each other
[00:18] <tallymarkd> ok. i have the manager installed but okay. thanks
[00:18] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks, dpkg will install a local .deb file, apt-get will install from a remote repository
[00:19] <bzmer> Moonlightning: if i right click in the open folder showing the stuff that was mounted, i get the following for "name": / on R2014b_glnxa64.iso
[00:19] <bzmer> Moonlightning: i see *nothing* like that in the output that mount gives me
[00:19] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: See these links for the man pages to those commands ..... http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-get --- http://linux.die.net/man/1/dpkg
[00:19] <Moonlightning> bzmer: as far as I can tell, `mount` lists them in the order they were mounted, so it should be the last one. Also try looking for the name of the .iso in the output, or things mounted under /media—I think that's where the GUI mounts things.
[00:20] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: thanks
[00:20] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: doesnt seem to work
[00:20] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: it says that the package is at the latest version
[00:21] <bzmer> Moonlightning: this is the last thing listed by mount: gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=brian)
[00:21] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: Great, then the package (software) is already installed and updated
[00:21] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: when I run upgrade apt still thinks it needs to install it however
[00:21] <Moonlightning> bzmer: well, if `mount` doesn't display it, I dunno what to tell you.
[00:22] <bzmer> moon
[00:22] <bzmer> Moonlightning: hmm, oh well. thanks
[00:23] <pi_user_84> greetings everyone
[00:23] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: apt says the packages are partially configured
[00:23] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: What's the output from apt-get -f install ?
[00:23] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: In pastebin if it's lengthy output, please
[00:24] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: it's basically the same output from my original pastebin
[00:25] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: Have you run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade ?
[00:26] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: yes
[00:26] <ObrienDave> apt-get dist-upgrade?
[00:27] <ToeSnacks> ObrienDave: yes
[00:27] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: how about apt-get build-dep which should download and install the dependencies first
[00:27] <hkrrsx> Then try installing your initial packages
[00:28] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: I had no initial packages this started happening after a dist-upgrade
[00:29] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: the 2nd line from your pastebin says you are trying to install cloud-init mountall postgresql, etc .... those are the "initial" packages I meant
[00:29] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: I will try running the build-dep command against one of the failing packages though
[00:29] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: ah alright I ran sudo apt-get build-dep cloud-init and still get the same output as before
[00:30] <hkrrsx> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[00:30] <hkrrsx> ?
[00:30] <ToeSnacks> alright I'll pastebin the output when it's done
[00:30] <hkrrsx> Running out of ideas here .... sudo apt-get -f install should have fixed everything
[00:30] <ToeSnacks> it's seems to be working on it
[00:31] <ToeSnacks> I can describe the situation in more detail if you think it would help
[00:31] <oldsk00l> i have a question i have ubuntu 12.04 pentium 4 3.2 ghz 3 gb ramm i have amba and zoneminder installd can i upgrade to 14.04 wit no problems ?
[00:31] <hkrrsx> Let dpkg-reconfigure finish
[00:32] <oldsk00l> ps i have a 265 mb video card of msi gforce a old one
[00:32] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: yes of course, I meant while we wait I can describe the steps leading up to the error
[00:32] <oldsk00l> amba is samba
[00:33] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, a fresh install would be better otherwise it may be a royal disaster
[00:33] <oldsk00l> @jiohdi tnx
[00:34] <elseJun> hahahhha
[00:34] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, otherwise you need to upgrade in steps from 12.4 to 12.10 to 13.4 to 13.10 etc
[00:34] <oldsk00l> does 14.04 doenst make it slower ?
[00:34] <oldsk00l> oke :P
[00:35] <oldsk00l> better a clean install :P than a clean install it wil be :P
[00:36] <jiohdi> much better
[00:36] <jiohdi> much faster too
[00:36] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: dpkg-reconfigure -a finished running and I ran apt-get update and upgrade to test, the same issue persists.
[00:36] <oldsk00l> and does it mater that i have a old machine ?
[00:36] <Guest38310> hello. i am newish to linux and am looking to learn as much as i can about computers and linux. does anyone have any suggestions on where to start learning?
[00:36] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, your specs seems good enough to run ubuntu
[00:36] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: is it the " No apport report written because MaxReports is reached already " error ?
[00:36] <ToeSnacks> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ZhkMYCdn
[00:36] <hkrrsx> thanks
[00:36] <hkrrsx> checking
[00:37] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, if things get too slow you can use lubuntu
[00:37] <oldsk00l> jiohdi thats write :P
[00:38] <oldsk00l> i have 12.04 4 over than a year know
[00:38] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: Have a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/31667/what-does-no-apport-report-written-because-maxreports-is-reached-already-mean and see the accepted answer (green checkmark)
[00:38] <jiohdi> I only have 2gigs of ram and the machine is like 5 and I am running ubuntu 15.4
[00:38] <oldsk00l> in the begining i heard there were preformence isius
[00:38] <k1l> Guest38310: install ubuntu and start using it.
[00:38] <oldsk00l> and does in run smooth
[00:39] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, I am using open box and an lxpanel and it runs fine
[00:39] <oldsk00l> wat processor do you have ?
[00:39] <vince_the_ponder> Guest38310 try a little of everything because some things you may not like start by using an operating system you can dissect
[00:39] <Guest38310> lol i downloaded kubuntu and all of the ubuntu desktops including ubuntu, lubuntu, and xubuntu to test which GUI i like the best, and i have been using it off and on for years
[00:39] <Arrick> how does one put the task bar on the bottom of the screen?
[00:39] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, not really sure, its an e-machine with nvidia
[00:40] <oldsk00l> oke buth my pentium 4 3.2 ghz would not be a problem
[00:40] <Guest38310> but it doesn't help me delve deeper into the command line and i would like to eventually move to linux as part of a career
[00:40] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, I think thats a lot more than I have... but is it 64bit?
[00:40] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, tnx :p
[00:41] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, nope 32 bit
[00:41] <oldsk00l> 12.04
[00:41] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, not sure if thats an issue yet
[00:41] <vince_the_ponder> Guest38310 instead of jumping into the deep end start with a fresh installation of ubuntu, then customize to your liking by using terminal and nano, then move onto simple scripting, then see if you like python as a language.
[00:41] <oldsk00l> better 2 use 64 bit
[00:41] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, I means your box not the software
[00:42] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: should I just '> /var/crash/procps.0.crash' to clear the log and try again?
[00:42] <Guest38310> that is the thing, i don't know what nano is or how to customize.
[00:42] <oldsk00l> i dont tink its a 64 bit
[00:42] <Guest38310> i only know basics like cd pwd and ls
[00:42] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: Actually, I found another resource that suggests deleting the .crash files , not just zeroing them out
[00:42] <Arrick> Got it.
[00:42] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: will try that
[00:42] <hkrrsx> Try deleting 1 or 2 and then run the dpkg-reconfigure -a  again
[00:42] <jiohdi> Guest38310, nano is just a text editor for terminals
[00:43] <oldsk00l> can that be the problem ?
[00:43] <hkrrsx> If that works, then perhaps remove the rest of the .crash files
[00:43] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: there was only one file the /var/crash
[00:43] <ToeSnacks> and it's was onky 99k
[00:43] <hkrrsx> Ok
[00:43] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, it could be if you install 64bit software on a 32bit machine
[00:43] <hkrrsx> Hope this fixes your issue b/c I'm leaving in ~10 minutes
[00:44] <hiexpo> man nano
[00:44] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, i think it is a 64 bit ist a box white sata conections :P
[00:44] <oldsk00l> and i have instalt 32 bit 12.04
[00:44] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, check the specs on your processor, only way to tell
[00:44] <oldsk00l> oke :P
[00:45] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: either way thanks for your help
[00:45] <hkrrsx> You're welcome, thanks for the respect
[00:45] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, under 4gigs of ram you can run 32bit software, but you can't run 64bit software on a 32bit processor
[00:46] <hiexpo> run top oldsk00l see whats running
[00:47] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: alright I killed the log and reran dpkg-reconfigure and apt update/upgrade and still have the same errors
[00:47] <hkrrsx> http://askubuntu.com/questions/378883/problem-with-package-installation-linux-image-server
[00:47] <hkrrsx> The accepted answer calls for you to reboot
[00:47] <hkrrsx> I'll probably be gone by the time you come back
[00:48] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, PC (Intel x86) desktop image is availible for 32bit machines. if you are not sure it will work on 64bit machines too
[00:48] <hkrrsx> Best of luck with the issue if that doesn't resolve it
[00:48] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: this isn't the machine
[00:48] <Guest38310> how do i learn bash scripting?
[00:48] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: but thank you again for all your time
[00:48] <hkrrsx> :)
[00:48] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: the machine is a aws instance
[00:48] <oldsk00l> Architecture:          i686
[00:48] <oldsk00l> CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit

[00:49] <ToeSnacks> it failed to start up after a kernel upgrade and I had to remount the drive on a different vm and alter the grub config to boot on the previous kernel
[00:49] <ToeSnacks> now it's starting from the previous kernel and that's when it started doing this
[00:49] <hiexpo> Guest38310, http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
[00:50] <Guest38310> thanks hiexpo
[00:50] <hiexpo> yup
[00:50] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, PC (Intel x86) desktop image it is
[00:50] <hkrrsx> do you have a 3rd oldest kernel installed?
[00:51] <jakesyl> Hey, so I'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 8.1 and using empty space for it, so on windows 8 it says that it is unallocated space but ubuntu says it is fat 16 so i don't think i can create partitions using that space, any ideas?
[00:51] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: yes I think there are probably about 7 on there
[00:51] <ToeSnacks> is that likely to be the issue?
[00:51] <hkrrsx> Try booting into the 3rd oldest and try again
[00:51] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, yep
[00:51] <jiohdi> jakesyl, use  gparted and clear out that space
[00:52] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: could it be the kernel downgrade causing the issue?
[00:53] <jakesyl> alright, let me try that
[00:53] <Bashing-om> Guest38310: also: http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux . Good intro tutorials.
[00:53] <hkrrsx> ToeSnacks: it could be .... never know the answer to a problem until you reach it
[00:53] <ToeSnacks> maybe apt is trying to configure agains the newer kernel and failing due to the kernel version being different than what it's expecting?
[00:53] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, long live putty :p
[00:54] <jiohdi> oldsk00l, when it gets too old there is always a puppy varient
[00:54] <jakesyl> alright, I'm in gparted
[00:54] <oldsk00l> jiohdi, yep long live puppy :P
[00:55] <ToeSnacks> hkrrsx: anyway have a good night
[00:55] <hkrrsx> thanks, you too
[00:55] <jakesyl> it's now showing up as unallocated..
[00:55] <jakesyl> (odd)
[00:56] <jiohdi> jakesyl, does it have an sdX id?
[00:56] <jakesyl> (apoligies) how do i find out?
[00:57] <jiohdi> jakesyl,
[00:57] <jiohdi> when it shows the partitions how does it designate them
[00:58] <jiohdi> you should be seeing sd1 for the main and maybe sd2 for recovery etc
[00:58] <bekks> There is no sd1 or sd2.
[00:58] <jiohdi> or sda sdb
[00:58] <bekks> There are sda, sdb, etc.
[00:58] <jakesyl> there is an sdb1
[00:58] <Moonlightning> What happens after sdz? :o
[00:58] <bekks> Which is partition 1 on sdb.
[00:59] <bekks> Moonlightning: sdaa is the next block device.
[00:59] <Moonlightning> :D
[00:59] <jiohdi> jakesyl, is there that for the unallocated space?
[00:59] <bekks> I've seen around 1100 block devices on a single server, myself.
[00:59] <jakesyl> nope
[00:59] <bekks> Try counting...
[00:59] <jiohdi> jakesyl, is there any designation for the un-allocated space?
[01:00] <jakesyl> no
[01:00] <jiohdi> jakesyl, then you should be good to go
[01:01] <jakesyl> alright but back on the install screen it says 1mb of free space
[01:02] <jiohdi> jakesyl, next option is to partition it
[01:07] <balrog-k1n> I have a grub problem that I think a lot of people upgrading from earlier version have where i386 grub boots up every time and can't find its modules because everything has been updated to x86_64, how do I get rid of the i386 grub?
[01:07] <balrog-k1n> I've tried grub-install --target=x86_64-efi on all possible devices
[01:07] <ObrienDave> jakesyl, the 1mb is normal. it can't allocate the drive 100%
[01:08] <gangil> Hi, Is there a way I can host a debian repo on a rhel machine? I am unable to install reprepro on rhel
[01:08] <ObrienDave> jakesyl, something about cylinder boundaries. not to worry
[01:08] <gangil> ?
[01:08] <balrog-k1n> and it works just fine, only when i reboot the i386 grub runs
[01:10] <Guest59808> Hi, I have a problem that'll sound really stupid but since I did an upgrade to 14.10 through the Software Updater GUI, the highlight color is bright pink (using XFCE) and I can't find any way to change it, Appearance, Theme configuration, and Window Manager settings don't affect it.
[01:10] <Guest59808> Any idea?
[01:12] <crepple> balrog-k1n I'm just reading about Boot Repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair - I've read about something called fix grub and I'm just looking for that.
[01:14] <Bashing-om> !boot-repair | crepple balrog-k1n ::
[01:14] <balrog-k1n> crepple: hmm I'll try that but I really wonder where that i386 grub is sitting right now, I think something is very wrong
[01:14] <balrog-k1n> it shouldn't be anywhere on the system at this point
[01:16] <Guest59808> Figured out my problem, sorry for disturbing
[01:19] <yandu> .
[01:19] <crepple> balrog-k1n This also looks interesting http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ I've never really had  boot issues present themselves. I should probably read more in case they do
[01:31] <decadence18> I'm trying to configure sendmail and.. well. it's not working. It hangs after every command, no matter what command it is
[01:31] <jeremiah__> decadence18: Is there are reason you're using Sendmail?
[01:32] <jeremiah__> Are you just trying to "send mail" or do you really want an MTA?
[01:32] <jeremiah__> If you really want an MTA, why Sendmail?
[01:32] <decadence18> I'm attempting (emphasis on attempting) to configure fail2ban to send emails @jeremiah
[01:32] <jeremiah__> Ah, I see
[01:32] <decadence18> And i know nothing about this; I'm learning
[01:32] <jeremiah__> decadence18: :-)
[01:32] <vince_the_ponder> you dont by any chance use gmail right ?
[01:33] <decadence18> @vince I do, yes. @jeremiah ?
[01:33] <vince_the_ponder> sendmail and gmail hated each other when i tried to get them to play along nicely.
[01:33] <owen1> apt-get update => Failed to fetch https://get.docker.com/ubuntu/dists/docker/main/binary-amd64/Packages  server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none
[01:33] <jeremiah__> Sendmail is an old and hard to configure tool.
[01:33] <vince_the_ponder> its do-able, but a very arduous process
[01:33] <jeremiah__> Look into configuring what is likely already on your system; exim for example
[01:34] <decadence18> What comes default with Ubuntu 14.04, if anything?
[01:34] <jeremiah__> decadence18: I imagine exim is the default since it is the default in debian
[01:34] <jeremiah__> do this; sudo which exim
[01:34] <jeremiah__> to see if it is on the machine
[01:34] <decadence18> Nope
[01:35] <jeremiah__> Or you can call aptitude like this; aptitude show exim
[01:35] <jakesyl> So i made all my partitins and stuff and when i try to designate a / file system as root it says no mount point
[01:35] <jeremiah__> Ah, I should have told you to use the proper package name; exim4-daemon-light
[01:36] <decadence18> Still no results for it as far as I can tell
[01:36] <jeremiah__> decadence18: try this; 'aptitude show exim4-daemon-light' or 'aptitude show exim4-daemon-heavy'
[01:37] <jeremiah__> Hmm. decadence18 do you have xmail on your system?
[01:38] <jeremiah__> Did you install Sendmail, or was it already on your system
[01:38] <decadence18> Nope, not that either.
[01:38] <decadence18> And I installed it
[01:38] <jeremiah__> Usually it is symlinked
[01:38] <jeremiah__> Ah, okay
[01:38] <vince_the_ponder> decadence18, "sudo apt-get install exim4" boom you have exim4
[01:38] <jeremiah__> Now I understand. You likely did not get a default MTA since perhaps you're using a server install.
[01:38] <jeremiah__> Makes sense.
[01:39] <jeremiah__> In any case, I stopped configuring Sendmail years ago unfortunately and won't be much help there.
[01:39] <jeremiah__> I can help a bit with exim, or other MTAs.
[01:39] <decadence18> Have you ever used exim or anything with fail2ban?
[01:39] <jeremiah__> decadence18: Yes, I think I have a working config running now.
[01:39] <jeremiah__> :-)
[01:39] <decadence18> Well, let me try attempting that
[01:39] <jeremiah__> What are you banning? ssh brute force attacks?
[01:40] <jeremiah__> Because my solution for that is sshguard
[01:40] <jeremiah__> Which is pretty good
[01:40] <decadence18> Along with, hopefully, apache
[01:40] <jeremiah__> I also switch my ssh daemon port to something non-obvious.
[01:40] <jeremiah__> But your users might have to use port 22 so I don't know if my solution will work for you
[01:40] <jeremiah__> fail2ban should support apache and ssh out-of-the-box
[01:41] <creature> Has anyone else had any issues with the broadcom BCM43142 wireless card on ubuntu, I have had a google and tried a few things but still nothing is working. Thanks
[01:41] <jeremiah__> Its a non-obvious configuration file
[01:41] <jeremiah__> Though its well documented
[01:41] <decadence18> It does, my problem is getting the email support. I THINK i have the jail.conf/local set up.
[01:41] <jeremiah__> creature: Do you have the latest drivers?
[01:42] <jeremiah__> decadence18: I only enabled the jail and log files. I didn't enable email support since I use logwatch to email me my logs daily.
[01:42] <creature> yeah, I have also tried using the additional drivers under the ubuntu settings
[01:43] <decadence18> I'm not using that, but I've noticed some odd login attempts (very  odd considering very few people have my IP), and so I'm attempting to monitor them
[01:43] <jeremiah__> creature: More than upgrading the drivers I don't really have any advice, I'm not familiar with the hardware. :-/
[01:43] <jeremiah__> decadence18: Likely just skiddies. But always worth checking out.
[01:43] <jeremiah__> You can read /var/log/auth.log to find out logins.
[01:44] <jeremiah__> That is good readhing. :-)
[01:44] <decadence18> @jeremiah Apparently I have a package utilizing rmail
[01:44] <creature>  no worries, getting ubuntu installed alongside windows on the new hp uefi bios was enough of a pain as it is
[01:44] <jeremiah__> decadence18: interesting. :-)
[01:44] <jeremiah__> creaux: :-) Sounds . . . complex.
[01:45] <decadence18> I have no idea how to use that either. xD
[01:45] <jeremiah__> heh, nor do I
[01:49] <decadence18> Okay so I tried reinstalling sendmail, and I got a warning "WARNING: local host name (...) is not qualified"
[01:50] <decadence18> any idea why?
[01:52] <macibookg3> Hi first time here
[01:52] <Bashing-om> jakesyl: Back up to the initial install screen, choose "change" and in the next screen set the mount point '/' .
[01:53] <Bashing-om> macibookg3: Welcome, you have a support question ?
[01:53] <vince_the_ponder> decadence18, you dont have a FQDN (domain name like google.com) and your hostname does not resolve to an IP address as far as sendmail could tell
[01:54] <macibookg3> I have a MacBook Pro 8.1 Late 2011 I would like to install 14.04LTS on it as a second OS or on its own
[01:54] <decadence18> And how would I fix said warning?

[02:50] <evilbug> are there no more arm versions of ubuntu or am i not looking in the right place?
[02:51] <evilbug> nevermind, found it.
[02:52] <macibookg3>  I have a PowerBook Pro8.1 Late 2011.  I have downloaded ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso and used UNetbootin to put it on a USB 8GB Stick but I can not get my Mac to boot from it .  please help. I would like to be able to install it as a second OS or on its own
[02:52] <not_dammit> how's the state of surface pro 3 support for ubuntu?
[02:54] <not_dammit> macibookg3, powerbooks aren't made past 2006
[02:55] <not_dammit> are you sure you're not using a macbook pro?
[02:55] <evilbug> macibookg3: you mean macbook pro? you need something like http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/
[02:56] <not_dammit> ^
[02:56] <macibookg3> yes you are right
[02:56] <not_dammit> it's an issue with the boot manager of OSX
[02:56] <not_dammit> it only recognises darwin/win32 systems
[02:56] <macibookg3>  I have a MacBook Pro8.1 Late 2011.  I have downloaded ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso and used UNetbootin to put it on a USB 8GB Stick but I can not get my Mac to boot from it .  please help. I would like to be able to install it as a second OS or on its own
[02:57] <not_dammit> you'd need an EFI tool like rEFInd or rEFIt
[02:57] <evilbug> macibookg3: dude, check out youtube, there are plenty of videos on that subject which should help you out.
[02:57] <evilbug> macibookg3: do a search for 'ubuntu mac' and voila.
[02:58] <somsip> !mac | macibookg3
[02:58] <not_dammit> rEFIt is kinda old
[02:58] <macibookg3> I tried to use rEFIt but that dose not seem to work boot manager dose not come up.  Also I have Mac OS 10.10.2
[02:59] <not_dammit> macibookg3, http://refit.sourceforge.net/doc/c1s3_remove.html
[02:59] <vince_the_ponder> macibookg3, you are attempting to do something that apple is not fully in agreement with, so they make you jump through hoops
[02:59] <not_dammit> then install rEFInd
[02:59] <not_dammit> Apple's ecosystem tends to be.... anally closed
[03:00] <vince_the_ponder> thats why the bloat so much :-P
[03:00] <not_dammit> I mean, it's not so much bloat, as it is a development philosophy
[03:00] <not_dammit> anyone know of the state of ubuntu on Surface Pro 3?
[03:01] <vince_the_ponder> mine was a constipation joke..
[03:01] <not_dammit> DAMMIT
[03:01] <not_dammit> I'm tired, ignore me
[03:01] <vince_the_ponder> ive officially turned over three of my mates at work over to linux full time on their home pc's
[03:02] <not_dammit> I game a lot, so I use windows most of the time, but I'll be damned if it isn't painful to do any remotely technical thing on it

[03:45] <LTS14N00b> I am having trouble with my FujiXerox printer driver where I can't get it to duplex print, even though one of the options is to duplex. I am using the official FX driver from the website links, but to no avail.

[03:57] <solomonix> here's a tricky one . . . is there a way I can redirect standard input to a pipe?  i.e. I have a script being called with "echo 'somestuffhere' > myscript" and I need to mimic the behavior as if it was "echo 'somestuffhere' | myscript"
[04:03] <BlackDalek> How do I install Ubuntu 14.04 as guest OS in virtualbox virtual machine on my mac running host OS MacOS 10.6.8? Mac can't even mount the installation ISO.
[04:04] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, physical USB?
[04:07] <LTS14N00b> I have booted a live CD of 14.04 (64Bit) on my Laptop computer (Which I had Ubuntu on before and everything worked OK) and the Wifi is not recognised, it acts as if there is no wifi in the lap top at all..
[04:07] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, which wifi?  broadcom??
[04:07] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, if broadcom = easily fixed
[04:08] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: You've got me on that one.. How do I check?
[04:09] <cfhowlett> !broadcom | LTS14N00b
[04:10] <BlackDalek> cfhowlett, don't have access to a free usb :( I was hoping there would be some way to convince the mac to use the ISO or a burnt DVD.
[04:10] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, and my question is: in what form is the ISO?  do you have it on a USB or what?
[04:11] <BlackDalek> cfhowlett oh sorry... I thought you were making a suggestion... I have it as a downloaded ISO and a DVD I burned from the ISO.
[04:11] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, perfect
[04:12] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Yes, it's a Broadcom BCM4318 (going by the Ubottu link)
[04:13] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, using the downloaded iso: go to virtualbox, Device menu: CD/DVD, unmount whatever is there, and mount your iso
[04:13] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, you'll like this:
[04:13] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, navigate to filesystem>pool>main>D>dksm
[04:13] <cfhowlett> *dkms*
[04:13] <cfhowlett> sudo dpkg -t dkmsFOO.deb
[04:14] <cfhowlett> "FOO" = I ain't typing all that mess
[04:16] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, then do the same with filesystem>pool>restricted>b>broadcom>bcmwl-kernel-source_FOO
[04:16] <BlackDalek> cfhowlett.. can't actually get that far. Virtualbox dies at the virtual machine creation stage when it asks for an OS to load onto it. So can't ever get to the stage where I can access the "devices" menu for the virutal machine.
[04:17] <cfhowlett> BlackDalek, could be #vbox failing, could be a MAC specific issue.  Can't help with those.  sorry.
[04:17] <cfhowlett> !mac | BlackDalek
[04:17] <cfhowlett> !vbox | BlackDalek
[04:19] <ForTheWin> what do you guys prefer, lubuntu or lxle?
[04:19] <cfhowlett> ForTheWin, gee let's think.  lubuntu = official ubuntu distro.  lxle = not.  this is ubuntu support so .... lubuntu FTW!
[04:20] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: I can't find it. I'm still fairly green with Linux.
[04:20] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, open you file manager; nautilus IIRC
[04:21] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Open
[04:21] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, wait 1: firing up a virtual machine

[04:26] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, devices > computer > cdrom > pool >
[04:26] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, not your fault: my previous instructions were inaccurate.   sorry.
[04:28] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Yes, I see similar and am in the pool folder with "main" and "restricted" folders showing only

This is not the way a system should behave.
[04:28] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, great.  main > d > dkms
[04:29] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: In the "main" folder I only see b43-fwcutter"
[04:29] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, MAIN!
[04:29] <cfhowlett> you are in the restricted folder
[04:30] <cfhowlett> and you must dpkg -i dkms first
[04:30] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: I dont' know how I got in there, maybe lag in the computer and I ended up there. I see it now...
[04:30] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, PEBKAS error    :)
[04:30] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: there is a deb file in there dkms_2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu5_all
[04:31] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, sudo dpkg -i that file

[04:31] <tripelb> NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.88.run: command not found  (but the command is there and I can cat it and get horrid binary output) It is a file to install the driver. I did it with the --check option to check the file and same thing.
[04:32] <mewtwo> http://askubuntu.com/questions/601812/kernel-on-ubuntu-partition-has-stopped-working can someone help me with this?
[04:36] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: It is processing at the moment. This would be the same procedure if it is installed on the HDD, except for the path of course?
[04:36] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, nope.
[04:37] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Just when I thought I was getting used to it LOL - I have the command line back.
[04:37] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, for some reason, broadcom doesn't always work on a live session.  installation to permanent storage generally works
[04:37] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, they do pull you back in :)
[04:38] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, same operation for the next .deb   restricted > b > bcmwl > broadcom-kernel-source-FOO.deb
[04:42] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: It's processing now. What path would I need to use for once I install onto the HDD?
[04:43] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, it should automagically configure.  if not, plug in your ubuntu boot USB and dpkg -i these 2 files to your hdd
[04:44] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Ah, OK, is this because I've just dpkg'd both these packages or normally (I have a friend who is having the same problem and he has installed onto HDD, but not sure as to what brand of WiFi dongle he is using)
[04:45] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, this procedure has worked on every broadcom b43** chipset I've encountered.  I can't advise on other broadcom or non-broadcom models.
[04:46] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: That's OK. As long as I can ge tmy laptop running, I can then latch onto his network and get back onto this forum for the WiFi dongle issue...
[04:47] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, as far as dongles go, I'd advise trashing any dongle that fails and getting a known replacement.  they're cheap
[04:49] <Besogon> good day. Did someone install vagrant from official site using deb[64]? I can't start vagrant after installation. It halts with error: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 2.0.0p598 (2014-11-13 revision 48408) [x86_64-linux]

[05:31] <systemd0wn> Question, using the desktop networking widget I attempted to create a bonded interface for eth0 and wlan0. However, after realizing it wouldn't let me pick my wlan0 I decided nevermind. But now I can't delete the network interface it has created. Help?
[05:32] <drakedouay> My default keyboard layout is dvorak, but I switched it to qwerty today. For some reason every window is qwerty except steam. Any idea why steam would still be using dvorak?
[05:33] <systemd0wn> drakedouay: is there perhaps a steam settings file that it's reading from?
[05:33] <LTS14N00b> cfhowlett: Thanks for your help, the laptop is still churning away (I am waiting for the memory upgrade to arrive) - it failed beacuse it was read only media. I will keep a copy of your directions for when I install on the HDD.
[05:34] <drakedouay> systemd0wn: that would be awesome if true. Only reason to switch to qwerty is for steam.... checking ....
[05:34] <systemd0wn> drakedouay: perhaps in one of these places? http://steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/846939854175874788/
[05:34] <cfhowlett> LTS14N00b, happy2help!
[05:42] <systemd0wn> Anyone know much about bonded interfaces?
[05:51] <Patero-ng> does it runs the same speed if I install ubuntu then running it from a external HD iso image
[05:52] <drakedouay> systemd0wn: doesn't seem to be it. I deleted all the steam files and uninstalled. Then made sure I had the correct keyboard selected and reinstalled, still dvorak
[05:52] <cyborgcygnus> Using DD I cloned a 160gbs encrypted hdd to a 500gb hdd. The line was similar to this "dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb conv=noerror,sync bs=1024", is bs the block size? Is it important to get that the same size as the first hdd?
[05:53] <systemd0wn> drakedouay: huh. that's certainly odd. You just reminded me I ought to install steam so I'll poke about when it's done and see what I see.

[06:00] <systemd0wn> drakedouay: perhaps? I doubt it, but maybe.
[06:00] <edition> dualboot ubuntu and windows.
[06:01] <cyborgcygnus> edition, what's wrong with grub? There's an app you can install to set windows as the first boot choice instead of windows if that's the problem
[06:01] <cyborgcygnus> Instead of ubuntu*

[06:35] <edition> Before I install, does Ubuntu have stable graphics card drivers for AMD Vision cards?
[06:35] <Loshki> pgunnars: dunno what to tell you. Read the docs for your hex editor. I would use emacs personally, but that doesn't help you at all.
[06:36] <mewtwo> edition: i have an A6 AMD vision and havent had any issues
[06:36] <mewtwo> well, nothing related to graphics card drivers
[06:36] <Loshki> edition: also, the live cd is meant to allow you to test if your hardware work before committing to an install.

[07:10] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> o shit i forgot its that easy... high as fuck over here
[07:10] <somsip> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS: watch the language, and offtopic chat belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:15] <Sidju_> Good day to thee. I'm currently experiencing a problem that makes all of the shutdown, suspend and hibernate shortcuts in the shutdown menu all open the logout/lock menu. Shutting down through terminal works.
[07:16] <Sidju_> Does anybody have any idea of how to solve that?
[07:23] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> somsip, my bad no bad intentions over here homie
[07:24] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> somsip, what exactley does ubuntu-offtopic cover? just like simply anything with ubuntu but off topic from ubuntu if that makes sense. so like generally computers NSFW kinda shit?
[07:25] <cfhowlett> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, you were asked to dial back the profanity.  you are violating the guidelines.  stop.  now
[07:25] <cfhowlett> !guidelines | SVCR3D-SHVD0WS
[07:27] <ObrienDave> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, ALL ubuntu channels request you act in a family-friendly manner
[07:30] <mutual> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, #ubuntu-offtopic is for non-support related talk for users of #ubuntu.  NSFW content and profanity will not be tolerated.
[07:32] <readid> killall
[07:36] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> sorry dudes i didint know we could say sh**
[07:37] <ObrienDave> *sighs*
[07:38] <SVCR3D-SHVD0WS> ObrienDave, you like drake? lmfao?
[07:39]  * ObrienDave loves a good /ignore command
[07:39] <somsip> ObrienDave: funnily enough, I just did that too :)
[07:40] <ObrienDave> great minds think alike :)
[07:40] <mutual> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, talking about drake is not allowed here.  this is for support only.
[07:40] <mutual> SVCR3D-SHVD0WS, and I believe that censoring yourself with asterisks is also not allowed.
[07:41] <fizk_> Is there a way to set a limit on how many TCP connections can idle in the CLOSE_WAIT state?
[07:41] <somsip> !ignore | mutual (not worth calling the ops, he'll soon get bored and leave)
[07:41] <mutual> somsip, i know, i'm just letting him know
[07:41] <somsip> mutual: fair enough. He;s just a stoned troll. If he gets abusive, just signal the ops
[07:42] <mutual> somsip, yup
[07:42] <ObrienDave> he gives us old stoners a bad name ;P
[07:43] <mutual> ObrienDave, #ubuntu-offtopic ;P
[07:43] <somsip> ObrienDave: I've had my day. He;s just learning how to grow up. Still, !ot and !illegal (probably)
[07:43] <mutual> !illegal
[07:43] <mutual> ah.
[07:43] <ObrienDave> most definitely
[07:44] <mutual> somsip marijuana is not illegal everywhere though.  it's still offtopic without a doubt though.
[07:44] <somsip> mutual: yes. And no more from me on this
[07:44] <mutual> ok.
[07:45] <cfhowlett> ObrienDave, !  I KNEW it!
[07:45] <mutual> cfhowlett, #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:46] <mutual> :)
[07:46] <cfhowlett> mutual, OK
[07:46] <ObrienDave> ;P
[07:46] <somsip> :-L surely?
[07:56] <cyborgcygnus> Anyone know how to resize an encrypted partition to fill the remaining hdd size from a live ubuntu usb?
[07:57] <dsnyders> !backup
[08:00] <cyborgcygnus> !cloning
[08:08] <Peace-> why git push on github website sometime works and sometime it doesn't ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10687957  btw   i did my .netrc , in this way http://paste.ubuntu.com/10687953   , git cloned with https
[08:11] <mutual> Peace-, you could try #git
[08:12] <Peace-> mutual: done there is a ddos attack on github website
[08:12] <Peace-> mutual: thank you for support
[08:13] <jkroon> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2039786.html - i'm running into a similar issue.  the filesystem with the least free inodes is /usr with 8.5K free inodes, and that matches the error (error creating symbolic link `./usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-33-generic/scripts/kconfig/lkc.h': No space left on device).
[08:13] <jkroon> I just can't imagine linux-headers installing 8.5K files though ...
[08:14] <bindi> what's the iptables file location in ubuntu?
[08:14] <jkroon> where does apt/dpkg first extract the "image" to?
[08:14] <Peace-> jkroon: in your root ?
[08:15] <jkroon> there are no remnant files from the failure.
[08:15] <Peace->  /usr/src/ ??
[08:15] <Peace-> NO SPACE LEFT ON THE DEVICE
[08:15] <jkroon> meaning I'd at least expect the /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.0-33-generic folder to exist.
[08:15] <Peace-> so i guess ...
[08:16] <jkroon> ok, so that does look viable.
[08:16] <jkroon> can I safely nuke everything under /usr/src/linux?
[08:16] <jkroon> can I safely nuke everything under /usr/src/*?
[08:16] <Peace-> jkroon: no
[08:17] <bindi> ugh
[08:17] <bindi> -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
[08:17] <Peace-> jkroon: have your /home mounted on the same partition of /
[08:17] <bindi> i need to add this into my ubuntu vm (testing something) but this ufw thingie is kinda in my way >.<
[08:17] <Peace-> jkroon: if you don't know run sudo fdisk -l then paste the code
[08:17] <norc> bindi: Funny. Im trying to do the exact same thing but its not working :D
[08:17] <jkroon> ok, in /usr I've got 317M available, and 8.5K inodes ... that should be just fine.
[08:17] <bindi> norc: hah, do tell me if you get it working :P
[08:17] <norc> bindi: http://pastie.org/10056842
[08:18] <norc> I wish I could :D
[08:18] <adammm> ahh listen to those plates clang in this 2.5" drive.... sounds like a coo coo clock
[08:18] <bindi> norc: there are some ufw files in /etc/ufw
[08:18] <bindi> i'm gonna try before.rules
[08:18] <norc> bindi: My ufw is inactive
[08:18] <bindi> hm
[08:18] <bindi> mine isnt :P
[08:18] <jkroon> Peace-, /usr sits on LVM so the output from fdisk won't help you much.  I'll rather pastebin the output of df -h and df -hi for you here:  http://pastie.org/10056847
[08:19] <norc> I tried dnat, tried redirect, nothing seems to be working. :(
[08:20] <Peace-> jkroon:  86% /usr
[08:20] <Peace-> jkroon: so guess maybe it has some problem with that i guess
[08:21] <jkroon> Avail = 317M >> additional space used.
[08:22] <jkroon> ok, added a 1G to /usr, same problem.
[08:23] <jkroon> but don't worry, i'll figure something out.
[08:23] <vds> I get an interesting error tryinh to update ubuntu today: unable to install new version of `/usr/bin/sudo': Device or resource busy any suggestions?
[08:26] <jonatan_> Hello, ive ran into some wierd problems. Ive just installed ubuntu server 14.xx in a brand new pc. The installation is going well and after its done i remove the usb and restart. The boot screen rolls by and then nothing.
[08:27] <jonatan_> The screen is just black and i cant login, if i do the login in by freehand and spam enter nothing comes up. Ive tried CTRL ALT F1 F2, still nothing
[08:27] <jkroon> Peace-, I'd recommend a restriction gets added to the installed that / may not be smaller than 1G (assuming /var, /usr, /home, /tmp and /boot is on separate partitions).  Bigger for each of those that's not elsewhere.
[08:28] <jkroon> problem is /lib/modules/ that consumes approx 200MB / installed kernel.
[08:28] <jonatan_> I have the system installed on a 250gb ssd
[08:29] <Peace-> jonatan_: mmm have tyrou tried to boot from recovery kernel ?
[08:29] <Number5> Hello guys, I started a program for a long process from terminal. Now I'm not sure whether it's ready or not, so I want put the process as a background task so I can do some checks, like top. How can I achieve that if the program is already running?
[08:29] <jonatan_> No i have not Peace. I will have to look into how to do that
[08:30] <dreamon> Is there a tool out there, where it is possible to paste some often used textparts. for console or other belongs. Im getting old, an I hate it to google for so much things, I already did years ago. Like a database with important Lines I can easly paste somewhere?
[08:30] <Peace-> jonatan_: nothing when you reebot you should see the grubmenu  something like that http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_YAvrJXlqrg/UFSTdc6y66I/AAAAAAAAGlU/Q1-4AvXqoHg/s640/grub-recovery-mode-1.png
[08:31] <jonatan_> Peace, first its just mobo, then the grub menu where i pick boot ubuntu, then the screen rolls and everything loads then nothing
[08:32] <jonatan_> ah ok i see Peace- i will try
[08:32] <bindi> norc: any luck?
[08:32] <Peace-> dreamon: you need to redirect the standard output to a log file i guess
[08:34] <jonatan_> Peace- I could now drop into a root shell. But how do i fix so this problem dont occur next time?
[08:34] <Peace-> jonatan_: ok now you need to figure out why it doest that
[08:34] <jonatan_> Peace- yes.
[08:34] <Peace-> jonatan_: it could be a video driver problem
[08:35] <Peace-> so can you go in the standard shell now and try to do startx?
[08:35] <Peace-> jonatan_: i actually work on kubuntu so i do not know well ubuntu-unity but it should be that
[08:35] <Peace-> jonatan_: that is a fresh installation ?
[08:35] <jonatan_> Its not unity, its just cli server based ubuntu
[08:36] <Peace-> jonatan_: so .... better
[08:36] <Peace-> jonatan_: no video driver so ? right ?
[08:36] <jonatan_> No driver installed
[08:36] <norc> bindi: Yes. Though I doubt my solution is of any help to you.
[08:36] <Peace-> jonatan_: it just hangs and you can't get the konsole
[08:36] <jonatan_> yes
[08:36] <bindi> norc: do tell
[08:36] <Peace-> jonatan_: weird
[08:36] <norc> bindi: Though it might. I completely forgot I had a firewall between me and my server. ;)
[08:36] <Peace-> jonatan_: the installation is fresh or not ?
[08:37] <jonatan_> Fresh
[08:37] <Peace-> jonatan_: i am thinking
[08:37] <Peace-> jonatan_: yoiu have oonly ssd ?
[08:37] <jonatan_> No, there is a big hdd also in the system
[08:38] <Peace-> no flash no sd no other memoy stuff
[08:38] <jonatan_> No sd card in, just the hdd and ssd
[08:38] <Peace-> jonatan_: mmm so ... maybe could be an hang for the other hd
[08:38] <Peace-> jonatan_: have you checked the fstab?
[08:38] <norc> bindi: So on a scale from 1 to 10, how much did my solution help you? :p
[08:38] <jonatan_> No. What will i be looking for?
[08:39] <Peace-> jonatan_: could try to commet the line of the no-system hd\ssd ?
[08:40] <bindi> norc: i just removed ufw and started with a new rules.v4, seems to get me going :P and nah it didnt help, im playing with a vm
[08:40] <Peace-> *comment
[08:40] <dhilipan> hello
[08:40] <Peace-> jonatan_: when ubuntu has a bad fstab \ or there is a problem with fstab it could hang
[08:40] <norc> bindi: What network method and which virtualization software?
[08:40] <Peace-> jonatan_: you could try to press S to skip
[08:41] <Peace-> jonatan_: so you can reboot your machine when you see it hangs and it doesn't do anything you could try to press S
[08:41] <bindi> norc: it's connected to my physical network
[08:42] <norc> bindi: You mean bridged network?
[08:42] <norc> Or physically with some usb nic?
[08:42] <bindi> norc: i have a virtual switch that is attached to my physical network
[08:42] <jonatan_> Peace- ok I will try to press S the fstab didnt look weird
[08:43] <bojan> pls suggest me some idea on that i cant mount nfs share on other computer but i can mount that in the same computer i shared
[08:46] <jonatan_> Peace- We will leave this issue for now. Thanks for your help, but I have to do other things now

[09:12] <Ululus> Patero-ng: hi
[09:17] <mewtwo> hey guys... im trying to mount an encrypted partition from a seperate partition, but when i run ecryptfs-mount-private i just get: ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly. any help?
[09:17] <Lope> I'm trying to OCR a simple image with a table of numbers. I've tried this on tesseract, I've tried reducing the image down to 6 colors, messing with the brightness and contrast so that the numbers show up boldly etc. I've tried about 20 free online OCR sites. None of them have been able to produce anything useful. http://i.imgur.com/YGr2C9l.png Any ideas?
[09:19] <EriC^^> mewtwo, type lsblk and get the name of the partition sda1 , sda2 etc.
[09:19] <Ben64> Lope: too blurry
[09:19] <Patero-ng> Ululus my friend I like your name
[09:20] <mewtwo> EriC^^: https://bpaste.net/show/ac87030b56b1 so sda1
[09:20] <EriC^^> mewtwo, how big is the partition you're trying to mount?
[09:20] <mewtwo> ~150 gigs
[09:21] <EriC^^> mewtwo, isn't it already mounted at /media.... ?
[09:21] <mewtwo> sorry... im not sure why i said mounted
[09:21] <mewtwo> i mean decrypt
[09:22] <EriC^^> yeah, but it's mounted already, there's nothing in the dir?
[09:22] <EriC^^> mewtwo, type sudo blkid
[09:22] <mewtwo> ok
[09:22] <Patero-ng> gentleman
[09:22] <Patero-ng> guys I have a particular problem, I have both partitions one for OS other for /home however the /home partition doesn't load if i enter as root under system recovery, is there another way to enter as root with the /home partition loaded?
[09:22] <mewtwo> /dev/sda1: UUID="fc9ca35b-8859-43c3-aced-e2af0071359f" TYPE="ext4"
[09:23] <mewtwo> its mounted, but theres nothing in the home dir
[09:23] <Ben64> Patero-ng: mount it yourself once you're in recovery
[09:23] <EriC^^> mewt?wo, ok, what about the rest of the partitions
[09:23] <EriC^^> i have no idea how that question mark went there
[09:23] <mewtwo> oh im sorry i thought we were just talking about sda1
[09:23] <mewtwo> ill paste real quick
[09:24] <mewtwo> https://bpaste.net/show/b71a24c62654
[09:24] <EriC^^> mewtwo, are you sure there's an encrypted partition there?
[09:24] <mewtwo> yes
[09:25] <EriC^^> ok type sudo umount /dev/sda1
[09:25] <mewtwo> ok
[09:25] <EriC^^> wait a sec,
[09:25] <mewtwo> sure
[09:26] <EriC^^> i think you mean an encrypted home dir or something
[09:26] <mewtwo> probablu
[09:26] <mewtwo> *y
[09:26] <EriC^^> because the partition has dirs in it  ( home/dtscode )
[09:26] <EriC^^> so it's mounted and the files are there..
[09:26] <mewtwo> well not anymore but yeah there were
[09:27] <EriC^^> ok, i've no idea..
[09:27] <mewtwo> damn :/
[09:27] <EriC^^> you need to decrypt the encrypted home dir
[09:28] <mewtwo> i know. and when i do that it says not setup properly
[09:28] <EriC^^> i mean i dont know about it, thought you had an encrypted partition
[09:28] <EriC^^> hm
[09:29] <EriC^^> mewtwo, try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
[09:29] <EriC^^> then try ls -la /mnt/home/dtscode and see if there are any files
[09:30] <mewtwo> https://bpaste.net/show/62995fa75ec9
[09:30] <petard_> Hello
[09:30] <petard_> what is the best method to recover deleted files in ubuntu 14.04
[09:31] <Ben64> !recovery | petard_
[09:31] <Ben64> hmm, wrong factoid
[09:32] <Ben64> !undelete | petard_
[09:33] <EriC^^> mewtwo, try ecryptfs-mount-private
[09:33] <mewtwo> ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
[09:33] <mewtwo> ok EriC^^ let me ask you this
[09:34] <mewtwo> if i copy all of /home/dtscode/, and reinstall ubuntu, then merge the new /home/ubuntu, then reboot, will it decrypt all of my files?
[09:36] <EriC^^> mewtwo, that's pretty drastic, you can just decrypt it from the live session
[09:36] <EriC^^> mewtwo, and i don't know really
[09:36] <mewtwo> how would i decrypt from the live session?
[09:37] <EriC^^> hold on,
[09:37] <mewtwo> mmk
[09:37] <EriC^^> type sudo ecryptfs-add-passphrase --fnek
[09:37] <mewtwo> ok
[09:38] <EriC^^> i'm reading this btw https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Long_way
[09:38] <krad> hello. i tried to upgrade my openvz server from trusty to utopic.. i'm getting this WARNING: this version of the GNU libc requires kernel version
[09:38] <krad> 2.6.32 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before installing
[09:38] <krad> glibc.
[09:39] <mewtwo> EriC^^: thanks
[09:39] <krad> i don't think i can upgrade the kernel since this is an openvz.. what to do
[09:40] <Ben64> krad: contact your provider
[09:41] <krad> that's the only way to go about it?
[09:41] <Ben64> yeah, but they probably won't indulge you
[09:41] <Ben64> you should stick to 14.04, is LTS
[09:43] <krad> oh.  then how can i go back to trusty Ben64?
 Ululus my friend I like your name <<< well that nice, thanks
[09:44] <Ben64> krad: ooh, so you did upgrade : /   .... don't think you can go back
[09:44] <momomo> when I run the command nautilus .. which exectuable is actually exectuted in order for me to alter some global parameter?
[09:45] <Ben64> momomo: what do you mean
[09:47] <krad> Ben64, i ran a few commands.. do-release-upgrade, apt-get update/upgrade etc.. sources.list is pointing to utopic now ..
[09:48] <Number5> You know guys, I just love Ubuntu :D It's a complete system, works well, I just don't understand why people still use MS's Windose. The lesson I learn form GNULinux is, if you share with others, the result is much and much better!
[09:48] <Ben64> krad: from what i remember about openvz stuff, you're stuck on the host's kernel, so i'm not sure what to suggest
[09:49] <Number5> Ben64, you're totally right, and I just like Ubuntu :D
[09:50] <Ben64> Number5: me too
[09:50] <Number5> hahahahaha
[09:59] <momomo> Ben64, when nautilus is launched for whatever reason, by chrome, by command line or whatever, I would like to intercept that

[10:24] <CyborgCygnus> Can you use dd to resize an encrypted partition?
[10:27] <sveinse> Hi. My grub does not always proceed to the default choice (on 14.10). It just sits there waiting for a choice. I've set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=false and GRUB_TIMEOUT=10. Any ideas to what this can be?
[10:27] <sveinse> This is a sorry thing to have on a server, you see

[11:46] <cyberbrai>  i am following this site for fatup my system
[11:46] <cyberbrai> fatup = fastup
[11:47] <cyberbrai> k1l_  dude any suggestion how can i fastup my system
[11:48] <ubuntuser13> cyberbrai: install pyload to speed up sytem.
[11:48] <k1l_> ubuntuser13: "sudo apt-get autoremove &&sudo apt-get autoclean"
[11:49] <cyberbrai> pyload  command for this sudo apt-get install pyload
[11:49] <cyberbrai> ubuntuser13
[11:49] <k1l_> cyberbrai: well, i dont like to "tune up" the system. if you want a more lightweight system use more leightweight programs. like using Lubuntu with lxde etc.
[11:49] <k1l_> cyberbrai: pyload is a download tool. that will not help you
[11:50] <cyberbrai> k1l_ not going for pyload
[11:51] <cyberbrai> k1l_ any suggestion plz if you know
[11:51] <ubuntuser13> kil_: no i can't do it. it gave following error: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10688629/
[11:51] <k1l_> cyberbrai: why do you think you need to tune your system?
[11:51] <vlt> Hello. I installed the package "cryptsetup" on 14.04 LTS. Any idea why it’s not available in initrd.img?
[11:51] <k1l_> ubuntuser13: ok, run "sudo apt-get -f install"
[11:52] <cyberbrai> k1l_  not running fast it's work very slow
[11:52] <cyberbrai> k1l_  day by day performance is low
[11:53] <ubuntuser13> kil_: i did that before. this returned to previous error . no disk space left.
[11:53] <bazhang> cyberbrai, get more ram
[11:53] <bazhang> cyberbrai, 2GB will be slow, no getting around that
[11:53] <k1l_> cyberbrai: then see what programs you run there and what is consuming the power
[11:54] <cyberbrai> k1l_  using top command
[11:54] <bazhang> cyberbrai, more ram, or choose a much lighter DE
[11:54] <k1l_> cyberbrai: and i said already: with not much ram, see if running Lubuntu is better
[11:54] <bazhang> !lubuntu | cyberbrai
[11:54] <bazhang> cyberbrai, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[11:55] <k1l_> ubuntuser13: "sudo apt-get autoclean"
[11:55] <cyberbrai> k1l_  Lubuntu  if i install this so any problem with  other data like i am using eclipse
[11:55] <EriC^^> cyberbrai, no
[11:56] <ubuntuser13> kil_:http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10688642/
[11:56] <EriC^^> cyberbrai, programs will run on lubuntu too
[11:57] <k1l_> ubuntuser13: ok, run "sudo apt-get -f install"
[11:57] <cyberbrai> Eric^^  just run the command on terminal
[11:58] <cyberbrai> Eric^^  nothing to do
[11:58] <EriC^^> cyberbrai, yeah run the command, then logout and choose lubuntu from the top right corner of the box where you login
[11:58] <ubuntuser13> kil_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10688649/
[11:59] <cyberbrai> Eric^^ ok thanks for help
[12:01] <k1l_> ubuntuser13: sorry, need to go afk. see if the system is Readonly or try to free up some space.
[12:02] <ubuntuser13> kil_: Thankyou so so much for help.
[12:03] <Boscop> hi. my headphone jack doesn't appear under sound settings anymore. so i can't set the sound output to headphones. it also doesn't appear in alsamixer. how can i fix this?
[12:04] <ahmed__> #jquery-content
[12:13] <Sequitur> So I just got a pair of USB headphones, and they work fine out of the box, with the exception that the volume control seems odd. At around 30% volume or less they just cut off completely.
[12:15] <nomic> whats that got to do with ubuntu
[12:15] <niee> Hi folks :)) Any ideas how to format my USB Flash Drive? Some program or etc... ?
[12:16] <cfhowlett> niee, gparted
[12:16] <niee> ot tnx cfhowlett :)
[12:16] <cfhowlett> niee, happy2help!
[12:17] <nomic> niee formatting a flash drive through ubuntu is something easy - just google it
[12:17] <Sequitur> I should clarify, those headphones don't have hardware volume control. So I mean the software volume slider, including with media keys or in pavucontrol, etc.
[12:17] <nomic> http://askubuntu.com/questions/22381/how-to-format-a-usb-flash-drive
[12:17] <vlt> Hello. I installed the package "cryptsetup" on 14.04 LTS. Any idea why it’s not available in initrd.img? Anything I can do different with mkinitramfs?
[12:18] <niee> nomic: i try to format whit Disk Utility, but see this error "Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/sdc: Input/output error
[12:18] <niee> "
[12:18] <Sequitur> I think maybe Pulseaudio just has some poor defaults for how the actual levels are scaled? Less than 35% is completely mute, but more than 60% gets uncomfortably loud.
[12:21] <hateball> Sequitur: you can change the stepping
[12:21] <Sequitur> hateball, where is that setting?
[12:22] <hateball> Sequitur: I dont recall, I can google it. you should be able to change volume using alsamixer tho
[12:22] <hateball> for the time being that is
[12:23] <vlt> How can I force a binary (like cryptsetup) to be included in initrd.img?
[12:23] <Sequitur> Well volume control works, with the exception that it works properly in a narrow band in the middle.
[12:25] <Sequitur> Aha, yeah, the values in alsamixer are correct, the ones in pulseaudio are out of whack
[12:28] <niee> cfhowlett: view this please => http://postimg.org/image/lnx5hwqyz/
[12:29] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:29] <cfhowlett> niee, ok.  and???

[12:35] <k1l_> niee: its the same as you would do it on windows. come one, read what is in the menu and press it
[12:35] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, what method did you use to install ubuntu. Did you create an ext4 partition in unallocated space?
[12:35] <niee> k1l_: cfhowlett http://postimg.org/image/nvh8qak3x/

[12:37] <cfhowlett> Ankit, no. sorry.  this is ubuntu support, not backbox
[12:37] <k1l_> Ankit: please see the backbox support for questions about their setup
[12:37] <cfhowlett> !backbox | Ankit
[12:37] <cfhowlett> niee, you really have to start reading your system messages.  it clearly states what to do next.

[13:01] <chrismyman> Has anybody loaded Intel display drivers in Ubuntu?
[13:01] <BluesKaj> chrismyman, yes
[13:01] <cfhowlett> !details | chrismyman, please don't ask "anybody" questions ...
[13:02] <AfterDarkness_> hello how to ssh to my other pc?
[13:02] <AfterDarkness_> AfterDarkness, is my other pc
[13:02] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Enable ssh on other PC, "ssh otherPCsIP"
[13:03] <BluesKaj> chrismyman, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then probly have to reboot , there won't be any output from the  command if the driver loads correctly
[13:03] <chrismyman> I have a Toshiba Laptop that requires Intel display drivers. I made the laptop a Dual boot and I would like to have the display be at a highr resolution
[13:04] <AfterDarkness_> i am not sure if i enabled it AppleCIDR but when i try to ssh otherPcIP nothing happenes
[13:04] <Boscop> hi. my headphone jack doesn't appear under sound settings anymore. so i can't set the sound output to headphones. it also doesn't appear in alsamixer. how can i fix this?
[13:04] <AfterDarkness_> does that mean ssh is not enabled?
[13:04] <onefred> skype for xubuntu 14.04 anyone?
[13:04] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Can you ping the other pc's IP?
[13:04] <Pici> AfterDarkness_: did you install it?
[13:04] <cfhowlett> chrismyman, intel has linux graphic support drivers for 14.10.  14.04 driver has been deprecated
[13:04] <AfterDarkness_> ill try
[13:04] <manornk> Hey. I have around 50 000 files in one folder, and i want to copy files that are bigger than 1mb to another folder, how can i do it?
[13:04] <AfterDarkness_> can't ping it
[13:05] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Is it on the same network?
[13:05] <AfterDarkness_> i am on my friends house
[13:05] <chrismyman> why does Ubuntu display at 640x480 only?
[13:05] <AfterDarkness_> in*
[13:05] <BluesKaj> chrismyman, lspci -knn | egrep -A 3 'VGA|3D' to check the gpu driver , most likely the i915
[13:06] <cfhowlett> chrismyman, no gpu driver = low resolution
[13:06] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: And where is the PC you're trying to SSH into?
[13:06] <AfterDarkness_> my home
[13:06] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Oh dear
[13:06] <AfterDarkness_> xD
[13:07] <AfterDarkness_> i need to get some files i dont feel like driving back there
[13:07] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: To do that you'd have to have your home's external IP, then set up port forwarding on your router to forward Port 22 to the IP of the PC you want to SSH into
[13:07] <chrismyman> says driver in use e1000
[13:07] <AfterDarkness_> I see
[13:07] <cfhowlett> chrismyman, NOT intel
[13:07] <manornk> I have around 50 000 files in one folder, and i want to copy files that are bigger than 1mb to another folder, how can i do it?
[13:08] <AfterDarkness_> AppleCIDR, there are two AfterDarkness on this channel if u noticed lol
[13:08] <chrismyman> driver is not intel?
[13:08] <AfterDarkness_> i used this ip address
[13:08] <oldsk00l> does sombudy knows ruberhose ?
[13:08] <cfhowlett> chrismyman, e1000 is not an intel driver
[13:08] <AfterDarkness_> but it seems no port is forwarded to it
[13:08] <chrismyman> how do I change it?
[13:09] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Then that's most likely the problem. At least if you are sure that the remote machine has SSH installed
[13:09] <cfhowlett> !details | oldsk00l don't waste time asking "anybody" type questions
[13:10] <BluesKaj> chrismyman, lspci | grep VGA, will show your GPU ,
[13:10] <leo_> арпа
[13:10] <leo_> тут кто?
[13:10] <AfterDarkness_> well AppleCIDR i think i didnt install ssh server on my other pc(this is one has) but that is another problem since i cant even ping the address
[13:11] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: Well, looks like you know what you gotta do now :)
[13:11] <AfterDarkness_> yup
[13:12] <AfterDarkness_> AppleCIDR, what do you recommend for RDP software?
[13:12] <AppleCIDR> AfterDarkness_: On *nix I like Remmina

[13:25] <Smithgift> cfhowlett: I'm using the us servers while I am in the US, yes.

[13:32] <Arrick> Hey all, I have a 12.04.3  server running a moodle/totara site... I am wondering if I install the latest server version on a new machine, will there be any snags I run into if I export the DB's and copy over files?
[13:32] <cfhowlett> Arrick,
[13:32] <cfhowlett> !server
[13:32] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, check your partitions with gparted, maybe you wiped windows partition
[13:33] <Arrick> cfhowlett, I know the versions arent the same, I know where it is avialable from, I asked because I dont want to run into a huge snag, and if it will be a big hassle, I will download the old version.
[13:33] <cfhowlett> Arrick, suggest you ask the #server channel
[13:34] <Smithgift> cfhowlett: I switched to the server the select best server thing did. it seems to be stalling at the same place, which are right after the english translations.
[13:34] <Arrick> yeah I forgot that it was there, lol
[13:34] <cfhowlett> Smithgift, dude are you even reading my responses
[13:34] <cfhowlett> ?
[13:35] <Smithgift> cfhowlett: I switched to the best server that that option gave me. Did I miss something you said?
[13:35] <cfhowlett> Smithgift, #ubuntu-server
[13:37] <Smithgift> cfhowlett: I think you're confusing me with Arrick, I'm on the desktop edition on my personal laptop.
[13:37] <cfhowlett> Smithgift, doh!  right.  so VERY sorry.
[13:37] <hkrrsx> morning
[13:37] <bazhang> Smithgift, where does the problem occur? is it with the language list
[13:38] <bazhang> Smithgift, if you get rid of that, then try again it should work
[13:38] <cfhowlett> bazhang, can you expand on this a bit?  why would language cause a hang??
[13:39] <bazhang> cfhowlett, long time bug, happens on occasion the /var/lib/ I just need Smithgift to affirm where
[13:40] <Sentra_Bot> .
[13:41] <bazhang> you can pastebin Smithgift or just tell us the single line
[13:41] <Smithgift> bazhang: apt-get update stops connecting successfully (it takes forever to go on) the moment after it hits the trusy/main Translation-en thing.
[13:41] <mustmodify> Can anyone explain how this could happen when I ssh into localhost? https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/142f0ef0aad6fc013725
[13:41] <bazhang> Sentra_Bot, bot?
[13:41] <Sentra_Bot> not
[13:42] <bazhang> Smithgift, thats the one, get rid of that and it should update as normal once again
[13:43] <Smithgift> bazhang: Where do I go to remove it?
[13:44] <Mehrzad_> BluesKaj: Did you say gparted?
[13:44] <bazhang> Smithgift, it gave a directory, correct?
[13:44] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad_, yes
[13:45] <Sycrid> hey guys, has anyone gained the LPIs for Linux? If so, are they worth while? And are they hard to acquire?
[13:45] <bazhang> Sycrid, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:45] <Mehrzad_> I can see windows files using ubuntu itself
[13:45] <Smithgift> This is the exact line before it stalls: "Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty/main Translation-en"
[13:45] <bazhang> Smithgift, ah thats something else
[13:46] <bazhang> ppa-purge that Smithgift
[13:46] <Sycrid> bazhang: no problem. sorry.
[13:46] <bazhang> !ppa-purge | Smithgift
[13:46] <Mehrzad_> BluesKaj: The files are there
[13:47] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad_, then use an app called "boot repair" installed on media, usb or disk,  it will install/restore the grub bootloader
[13:48] <Mehrzad_> Ok

[14:12] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, does grub show the windows OS ?
[14:12] <Mehrzad> I'm reseting and will be back
[14:13] <Smithgift> Have to go. I'll try again later.
[14:13] <Gnone> hi serfs
[14:15] <cfhowlett> Gnone, serfs?  seriously?  needless insults get you added to /ignore list
[14:16] <cfhowlett> vedu, you have to swapon
[14:16] <cfhowlett> !swap > vedu
[14:17] <vedu> cfhowlett: I have used `sudo swapon filename`
[14:18] <Nitrigaur> Running Ubuntu 14.04 64 : Every USB stick I plug in (all of them Fat32 formatted) is mounted, but when I try to create a directory on it, it gives me the Error: Target is read-only, even on USB drives without any protection slider.
[14:19] <cfhowlett> vedu, then you system is presently demanding swap
[14:19] <cfhowlett> No swap.
[14:19] <chotaz_work> How can I turn off automount for a specific device(in this case, my cellphone) on ubuntu? My cellphone has no "Charge-Only" options like many other android phones and I need it to be ignored by ubuntu's filesystem but still be able to charge.
[14:19] <Nitrigaur> The problem is limited to Nautilus only.
[14:20] <DJJeff> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1379346
[14:21] <gaowenguo> hello every one.
[14:22] <Laibsch> My trusty system stopped to download Packages files correctly.  Has this hit anyone else? It looks for Packages but not Packages.gz or .bz2.  Packages doesn't seem to exist anymore
[14:22] <Laibsch> I can no longer do "aptitude update" or "apt-get update"
[14:22] <Nitrigaur> Nautilus won't add directories on plugged in USB drives, claiming that the target is read only, yet I can create directories using my trusty terminal.
[14:23] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: It's still the same
[14:23] <Mehrzad> Windows 7 is not there
[14:26] <Blueking> have som issues with network on mine router box  running ubuntu server + shorewall...  router are online  if disconnect wan cable and reconnect it to router it doesn't get online again and can't ping on the net, pc's on local net can't access net nor one can't see net from router box have to 'service networking restart' to bring it online again,  checked nic's and they seemed to have ip gateway
[14:26] <Blueking> and that... not sure how/where to debug this ?
[14:26] <EriC^^> Laibsch, pastebin the error your getting
[14:27] <Blueking> might be bug with routing setup ?  martian source error ?
[14:28] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, open a terminal, sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , X being the device designation given to your windows partition, grub needs to be installed to the windows mbr, but i'm surprised boot-repair didn't fix that.
[14:28] <Blueking> router worked perfect for more than one year without any issues until last week :/
[14:29] <Laibsch> EriC^^: http://paste.debian.net/163518/
[14:29] <jackhomeas> anyone ?
[14:30] <Pici> jackhomeas: anyone what/
[14:30] <EriC^^> Laibsch, change your mirror, open the dash and type software & sources
[14:31] <EriC^^> *software & upadtes
[14:31] <cfhowlett> jackhomeas, Ms. Cleo has the night off.  You have to actually STATE your issue to get assistance.
[14:31] <Laibsch> EriC^^: I'v already tried four different mirrors
[14:31] <Sentra_Bot> LoL
[14:32] <Laibsch> EriC^^: Check even archive.ubuntu.com, it doesn't have the uncompressed Packages file.
[14:32]  * Blueking twiddles his thumbs impatiently
[14:33]  * Laibsch wonders what prevents the fallback to Packages.bz2
[14:35] <EriC^^> Laibsch, it doesn't say archive.ubuntu in your paste
[14:35] <BluesKaj> Blueking, which router ? also did you try the obvious ...a reboot?
[14:36] <Laibsch> EriC^^: I never said that it does.  What is your point?
[14:36] <antimatroid> say I have /test/content/ and /test/scripts . If from /test/scripts I run "sudo ln -s ../content ./" then /test/scripts/content is created which links to /../content and can be renamed to say /test/scripts/renamedlink. Question: How do I make a local link to the parent directory which isn't called ..?
[14:36] <Laibsch> EriC^^: http://tw.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/binary-i386/
[14:36] <Laibsch> EriC^^: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/binary-i386/
[14:36] <Laibsch> EriC^^: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/binary-i386/
[14:36] <Laibsch> EriC^^: http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/restricted/binary-i386/
[14:36] <antimatroid> argh, sorry that's not written well
[14:36] <antimatroid> let me rewrite
[14:37] <EriC^^> Laibsch, it sounded like you were asking me to check that even archive doesn't have the packages
[14:38] <EriC^^> Laibsch, anyways i don't see it erroring out on the stuff you just pasted
[14:38] <antimatroid> say I have /test/content/ and /test/scripts/ . If from /test/scripts/ I run "sudo ln -s ../content ./" then /test/scripts/content is created which links to ../content and can be renamed to say /test/scripts/renamedlink while still linking to ../content. Question: How do I make a local link to the parent directory which isn't called ..? Ie. I want /test/scripts/parentlink which links to the parent folder locally?
[14:39] <antimatroid> so basically, how do I create a link which links to the parent folder locally (ie. if I make a copy of test, the copied link will link to the copied parent folder, not the old parent folder)
[14:39] <kani> exit
[14:39] <newman> Hi.. Why I am getting this error "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/i18n/Translation-en  Hash Sum mismatch
[14:39] <newman> "
[14:39] <newman> h kindly help
[14:40] <bazhang> that error has been reported at least 3 times in the last hour
[14:41] <EriC^^> bazhang, by the same person?
[14:41] <shake> who ?
[14:41] <bazhang> EriC^^, by 3 people
[14:41] <EriC^^> bazhang, oh
[14:41] <EriC^^> newman, try to change your mirror
[14:41] <k1l_> the translation repos seem to be very flaky recently. just try in a few minutes again
[14:41] <EriC^^> newman, type sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* && sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
[14:41] <newman> could you help how to do it please
[14:41] <bazhang> removing that directory and running apt-get update again should fix it
[14:42] <EriC^^> newman, then change your mirror ( open the dash and type software & updates and change the server ), then type sudo apt-get update
[14:43] <bazhang> for some unknown reason the update files get changed to html, which causes the hang
[14:43] <Laibsch1> newman: I think EriC^^ likes to poke in the dark.  Do you happen to use a local cache such as apt-cacher-ng, by chance?
[14:43] <newman> :)
[14:43] <bazhang> Laibsch1, thats not a poke, thats a viable fix
[14:43] <newman> i am using main server Laibsch
[14:43] <newman> EriC^^,
[14:44] <EriC^^> Laibsch1, it's pretty well known that sometimes servers get funky and you get a hash mismatch, and deleting the file in /lists or /lists/partial and updating again fixes it, i'm not making this stuff up..
[14:44] <newman> you mean to give this command? it says " cannot remove ‘/var/lib/apt/lists/partial"
[14:44] <bazhang> Laibsch1, this error has been around for quite a while, so it's not some random poke in the dark
[14:44] <newman> how to do than
[14:44] <Laibsch1> well, it seems you are fond of changing mirrors.  This problem only happened to me when I somehow corrupted the local cache and changing mirrors on a client all day long wouldn't have changed a thing about it.
[14:45] <EriC^^> Laibsch1, yeah but bazhang said it happened to 3 different people, thus why i said to change the mirror
[14:45] <bazhang> Laibsch1, which was why the removal of the files first was warranted
[14:45] <Laibsch> bazhang: you'll get the problem right back if he uses a proxy
[14:45] <bazhang> newman, use sudo with that
[14:45] <Laibsch> (or his upstream does)
[14:46] <Laibsch> and again, no amount of changing the mirror is going to change that
[14:46] <newman> i did sudo bazhang
[14:46] <newman> as given above
[14:46] <bazhang> Laibsch, its not for debate
[14:46] <newman> i changed the server to us
[14:46] <elkadeem> hello
[14:46] <bazhang> hi
[14:47] <elkadeem> who are you?
[14:47] <bazhang> elkadeem, ubuntu support question?
[14:47] <igoryonya> hello, I mount a remote disk by sshfs. when I loose connection, the whole system halts, until I get reconnected and I cannot do anything. everything freezes without the connection. Is it possible to avoid it, make sshfs nonblocking, I guess
[14:47] <Laibsch> bazhang: I'm just pointing out that your "remedy" isn't going to help a single bit IF he is using a proxy.  But again, you guys both seem to like poking in the dark instead of proper analysis.
[14:48] <cfhowlett> elkadeem, this is not a hook-up/socializing channel.  it's ubuntu technical support.
[14:48] <Laibsch> EriC^^: (22:38:04) EriC^^: Laibsch, anyways i don't see it erroring out on the stuff you just pasted
[14:48] <Laibsch> you did not see all those 404s? Really?
[14:48] <linduxed> heello everyone o/
[14:49] <shark> hello
[14:49] <elkadeem> i'm very sorry >>> it is anew distribution for me
[14:49] <EriC^^> Laibsch, i was talking about the stuff you pasted in the channel, please can you just be constructive
[14:49] <EriC^^> or chill
[14:49] <linduxed> i've got a situation where my coworker has somehow manged to render his system unbootable
[14:49] <cfhowlett> linduxed, fun!
[14:49] <linduxed> none of the files are gone, but we need to get it to boot again
[14:49] <linduxed> cfhowlett: yeah, indeed
[14:49] <linduxed> now
[14:50] <linduxed> he's got the kind of setup where /dev/sda1 is /boot, /dev/sda5 is a luks+dm-crypt volume
[14:50] <linduxed> in the encrypted volume there's an LVM system
[14:50] <cfhowlett> linduxed, live session boot, copy his files to safe storage and reinstall his system.  this time, make him a no-privilege desktop user and set the admin account behind a strong password
[14:50] <linduxed> cfhowlett: hahah
[14:50] <Laibsch> EriC^^: the links would have shown you that Packages does not exist anywhere. OK?  Again, no amount of changing the mirror is likely going to change that, given that the master does not have the files.
[14:50] <linduxed> cfhowlett: i was thinking of a simple solution:
[14:51] <igoryonya> hello, I mount a remote disk by sshfs. when I loose connection, the whole system halts, until I get reconnected and I cannot do anything. everything freezes without the connection. Is it possible to avoid it, make sshfs nonblocking, I guess
[14:51] <linduxed> what i need to know is where ubuntu (i'm an arch user) stores the instructions that it should decrypt this drive on boot?
[14:51] <linduxed> in arch, i add a hook in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
[14:51] <linduxed> the hook would be "encrypt"
[14:51] <linduxed> this would allow me to decrypt at boot
[14:52] <cfhowlett> !encryption
[14:52] <linduxed> what in ubuntu is the thing that tells the bootup process that /dev/sda5 is encrypted
[14:52] <linduxed> is it initramfs?
[14:53] <derjanni> Good evening!
[14:54] <derjanni> I have a ubuntu server with 3 network adapters. I want to allow clients using the machine for NAT routing to be able to select through which adapter they want to route their internet traffic. What do you suggest for it?
[14:56] <alex999> ghfgh
[14:57] <Mehrzad> Hi. I have ubuntu on C and windows on D drives.

[15:01] <mikecmpbll> I have a file owned by user_x, and I want to scp it using a cron task to a different server but the ssh keys are set up for user_y -- is there a way i can do this without setting up keys for user_x?
[15:01] <mikecmpbll> oh crap nvm
[15:01]  * mikecmpbll is stupid
[15:03] <tim_> someone, please help
[15:03] <cfhowlett> !ask | tim_
[15:04] <tim_> sorrz
[15:04] <tim_> sorry
[15:04] <k1l_> tim_: you accidntly pressed alt+shift?
[15:05] <tim_> never!  it switches sometimes when visiting internet pages
[15:05] <tim_> nothing happens on that alt+shift
[15:05] <k1l_> see this http://askubuntu.com/questions/68127/how-to-switch-language-keyboard-combination
[15:06] <tim_> em.. i need to make my keyboard to stay fixed to one language! no need shurtcuts
[15:09] <Mehrzad> I have ubuntu on C and windows on D drives. And GRUB doesn't detect windows. What should I do?
[15:10] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, are these separated HDDs or partitions?
[15:10] <BluesKaj> err separate
[15:10] <tim_> k1l_, i have allready walking through this... it does not work! only one input language displayed, marked all windows same langauge..
[15:11] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: separated partitions on the same HDD
[15:11] <cfhowlett> Mehrzad, what does sudo os-prober tell you?  here's mine  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689494/
[15:12] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, what is the /dev/sdX on the windows partition?
[15:12] <Mehrzad> cfhowlett: it prints nothing
[15:13] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: You mean dev folder?
[15:13] <tim_> hy all.. i got problem with my ubuntu.. keyboard is allways!!! switching to englesh at internet surfing.. please help!!
[15:13] <Mehrzad> There is no dev folders inside the root of the windows partition
[15:15] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, no /dev/sda is usually the windows partition in gparted, since it's normally the first partition on the hard drive
[15:16] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: I have not installed gparted. I'm using the default explorer
[15:17] <NemesisD> hi. both of my machines running 14.04 get a system update dialog daily and attemping to install the updates just freezes the UI, requiring me to have to kill the process
[15:17] <NemesisD> i'm happy to just use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade but that doesn't seem to find any updates. why does the GUI say i have updates but apt won't get them?
[15:18] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad,  run, sudo fdisk -l, in the terminal and pastebin the output
[15:18] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: I found that file, but do not have the permission to read it
[15:18] <BluesKaj> !pastebin
[15:18] <BluesKaj> it's not a file it's partition
[15:19] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689543/
[15:19] <igoryonya> I mount a remote disk by sshfs. when I loose connection, the whole system halts, until I get reconnected and I cannot do anything. everything freezes without the connection. Is it possible to avoid it, make sshfs nonblocking, I guess
[15:22] <tim_> any1 copy?
[15:22] <cfhowlett> !patience | tim_,
[15:29] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, sudo grub-install /dev/sda2 , then sudo update-grub
[15:30] <cha0t1x> hi i want to install windows alongside ubuntu 14.04 full encrypted (the whole hard drive). does the luks resize and the windows setup will destroy my full encrypted ubuntu installation?
[15:31] <tim_> windows??? people still use that?
[15:31] <cfhowlett> cha0t1x, recommended method is install windows first ...
[15:32] <cha0t1x> cfhowlett, yes but now the ubuntu 14.04 is already installed and I want to avoid re-formatting
[15:32] <cfhowlett> cha0t1x, consider it.  you've a fully encrypted HDD, something that windows will NOT like ...
[15:32] <cha0t1x> cfhowlett, this is true
[15:33] <cha0t1x> cfhowlett, is there an option to install windows in an external bootable disk?
[15:33] <cha0t1x> is there any problem with grub?
[15:33] <cfhowlett> cha0t1x, windows bootloader will wipe out grub = reinstall
[15:34] <cfhowlett> reinstall grub
[15:35] <cha0t1x> cfhowlett, i know that but I want to ask if I keep full encrypted linux as it is, to install windows in a usb hdd external and to boot from it. Is there a prob with grub?
[15:35] <cha0t1x> I will reinstall grub but I want to ask if there is a problem that the disk will be external (usb)
[15:35] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: Isn't /dev/sda2 for swap?
[15:35] <cfhowlett> cha0t1x, should be doable.
[15:36] <cha0t1x> cfhowlett, thanks
[15:36] <BluesKaj> me nope, it's your W95 partition
[15:36] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad,^
[15:37] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, your swap is /dev/sda10
[15:37] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: I'm confused. But ok. I'm doing it
[15:37] <Mehrzad> Ah
[15:40] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689669/
[15:40] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, why so many partitions, you still have a whole lot of HP partitions there. they're normally for recovery etc but this HDD obviously had a  differnt windows OS on it when you bought the pc
[15:40] <genii> You're trying to install GRUB to a partition
[15:41] <genii> ( as opposed to installing it to an MBR)
[15:41] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: No, I'd made the partitions before
[15:41] <cfhowlett> gpt partitions can easily have more than the usual MBR number
[15:42] <BluesKaj> yeah genii , I thought it mioght work since this is what we're dealing with http://paste.ubuntu.com/10689543/
[15:43] <genii> Hm
[15:43] <BluesKaj> he wiped the mbr with tthe linux install
[15:43] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, where IS his ubuntu?  no ext4 partitions in sight ...
[15:44] <BluesKaj> cfhowlett, /dev/sda1
[15:44] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: All I can say is I have windows on partition D (the third physical partition)
[15:45] <Mehrzad> The other two are allocated for ubuntu and swap
[15:46] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: Will the "map" work?
[15:47] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, that's not exactly the kind of partitoning I'm used to ...windows should always be first , then linux then swap
[15:48] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: Yes I know, but I hadn't. My bad
[15:48] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, and w95? ...that's a bit ancient
[15:49] <Mehrzad> I never installed windows 95
[15:49] <cfhowlett> BluesKaj, only 20 years old or so ...
[15:49] <hi-tower> hello!
[15:49] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: ^
[15:50] <BluesKaj> genii, why woule these LBAs show W95 ?
[15:50] <BluesKaj> would
[15:50] <hi-tower> I MIGHT have discovered a bug in storebackup package. I would like to get the opinion of people in-the-know before filing a bug report
[15:51] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: That's what were installed before: WinXP on C. Windows 7 on D, Ubuntu and SWAP on E
[15:52] <genii> BluesKaj: Probably a dedicated partition on an OEM system where the Windows Install or Recovery stuff is
[15:52] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: I formatted C in order to install Ubuntu on it
[15:52] <BluesKaj> twell Mehrzad idon't understand your partitions then , something i haven't dealt with before ,, sorry for wasting your time
[15:52] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: No problem and thanks for putting time
[15:53] <BluesKaj> genii, that's what I suspected, but I never keep them , just wipe them clean when I get a new machine and start from scratch
[15:54] <hi-tower> BluesKaj: would you be able to test a storebackup problem?
[15:54] <genii> BluesKaj: I dd the contents off to an external drive normally, in case machine has to go back for repairs it can be put back to factory
[15:55] <BluesKaj> genii, yes I understand that in your situation , that's a wise move
[15:56] <BluesKaj> hi-tower, uhm test ?
[15:57] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: I suspect win7 is installed on sda5. Does this information help?
[15:57] <hi-tower> BluesKaj: well I would like to have someone confirm a bug before submitting it on launchpad
[15:58] <hi-tower> I am absolutely new to Ubuntu but worked on other distros since 1999
[15:59] <BluesKaj> hi-tower, that depends on which ubuntu version etc ...difficult to replicate bugs on different OSs and desktops
[16:00] <hi-tower> BluesKaj: OK this is Kubuntu 14.10 amd64 arch.
[16:01] <xyzwhatever> im looking for a comprehensive list how to set up ubuntu for maximum speed under virtualbox disabling everything that is not absolutely necessary
[16:01] <hi-tower> BluesKaj: It seems like the default config created by storebackup upon package install is incompatible with the cron script
[16:01] <BluesKaj> Mehrzad, do you have important data on windows that requires backup, because 10 partitions is lot for only 2 OSs and swap
[16:01] <reboot_> exuse me?
[16:01] <reboot_> ?
[16:01] <reboot_> can some 1 help me?
[16:01] <cfhowlett> !ask | reboot_
[16:02] <hi-tower> !patience
[16:02] <xyzwhatever> for example how can i turn off this stupid transparency thing when I click on the ubuntu startmenu button
[16:02] <reboot_> how to download all information gathering tools that are in kali linux any comand ????

[16:03] <reboot_> how to download all information gathering tools that are in kali linux any comand ????
[16:03] <Alissa> That's the correct configuration to make a socks proxy for apt-get, right?
[16:03] <reboot_> how to download all information gathering tools that are in kali linux any comand ????
[16:03] <cfhowlett> !reboot_, kali | reboot_
[16:03] <k1l_> reboot_: stop that annoying spam
[16:03] <cfhowlett> !kali | reboot_
[16:03] <gr33n7007h> reboot_: download kali and use the live iso
[16:04] <tgm4883> Can't think of the right searching terminology. When I go into my BIOS and attempt to boot from USB (or even go into the EFI shell) my system starts automatically scrolling? up. It's like a repeating up arrow key
[16:04] <reboot_> how can i creat my own private chanell?
[16:04] <reboot_> how can i creat my own private chanell?
[16:04] <xyzwhatever> yeah go to your own channel talk to yourself
[16:04] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, stuck key?  funky bios?  not ubuntu
[16:04] <cfhowlett> reboot_, stop it
[16:05] <reboot_> help me ...its ok :[
[16:05] <tgm4883> cfhowlett: yea it's a funky little device. Let me swap keyboards
[16:05] <embik> I always wonder why people like that are asking for Kali ... Maybe a 12-years old who wants to "hack" his friends? :|
[16:05] <cfhowlett> reboot_, stop acting silly then.  /join #mychannel
[16:06] <cfhowlett> embik, let's not feed them.  moving on now
[16:06] <embik> yessir
[16:06] <k1l_> reboot_: ask in #freenode
[16:07] <nullbyte_> have removed libdrm-nouveau2 and manager removes all other linked packages how can i restore all of everything that
[16:07] <BluesKaj> tgm4883, turn secure boot off/disable in the uefi/bios
[16:07] <tim_> anything for me yet?
[16:07] <tgm4883> BluesKaj: already off :/
[16:08] <BluesKaj> try legacy mode
[16:08] <tgm4883> There is no legacy mode
[16:08] <BluesKaj> should be in boot
[16:09] <Mehrzad> BluesKaj: On windows 7? No
[16:09] <tgm4883> BluesKaj: I'll check again, but I'm pretty sure this only ships with 32-bit EFI
[16:09] <BluesKaj> 32bit?
[16:09] <cfhowlett> tgm4883, I've NEVER seen a 32 bit efi ...
[16:09] <tgm4883> Yea
[16:10] <tgm4883> The older mac's used to have only a 32-bit EFI and they are common on the windows tablets

[16:15] <fabrizziop> Hi. I wonder if someone could give me a bit of help. In ubuntu 14.10, after I log in, as soon as unity starts loading (taskbar appears) unity freezes
[16:15] <fabrizziop> so I can only move mouse
[16:15] <cfhowlett> fabrizziop, how much ram??
[16:16] <fabrizziop> when I ctrl+alt+f1 into a console, stop and start lightdm, then log in again, it works fine
[16:16] <fabrizziop> 16 GB ram, FX 8350, ubuntu is installed in LUKS+LVM
[16:16] <fabrizziop> already deleted dconf, .cache, nothing works
[16:16] <Blueking> BluesKaj several times
[16:20] <fabrizziop> any guesses?, does anybody know where I could make a post to ask for help?

[16:32] <madsmile> Hi lel
[16:32] <fabrizziop> b3h3m0th: you could boot from a live cd, chroot into your installation and run update-grub=
[16:33] <b3h3m0th> fabrizziop:  is it possible to fix it from the (initramfs) shell ?
[16:33] <b3h3m0th> Im curious
[16:34] <fabrizziop> b3h3m0th: I can't answer that for you, because I don't know.
[16:36] <b3h3m0th> fabrizziop: okay . thanks for the first solution, the live boot thing :)  I hope that satisfy my primary goal (get this fixed somehow) and I hope to find someone here to satify my secondary goal, to quench my intellectual curiousity :p
[16:36] <Blueking> have som issues with network on mine router box  running ubuntu server + shorewall...  router are online  if disconnect wan cable and reconnect it to router it doesn't get online again and can't ping on the net, pc's on local net can't access net nor one can't see net from router box have to 'service networking restart' to bring it online again,  checked nic's and they seemed to have ip gateway
[16:36] <Blueking> and that... not sure how/where to debug this ? might be bug with routing setup ?  martian source error ? router was perfect for more than a year before it started have issues last week

[16:39] <BluesKaj> Blueking, already suggested rebooting the router
[16:39] <wlodpolm> i tried the default iso maker but it doesn't load SystemRestoreCD and i am trying to recover windows machines from a deep infection

[16:50] <Blueking> BluesKaj no idea where to look as I don't know where bug are if it's within ubuntu or other software
[16:51] <BluesKaj> Blueking, did this happen after an upgrade?
[16:53] <saltlake> Does ubuntu server have pnfs support ? Or has anyone successfully got pnfs working on a ubuntu server ?
[16:53] <Blueking> didn't touch router for more than a year before it started bug on me a week ago
[16:53] <Blueking> BluesKaj didn't touch router for more than a year before it started bug on me a week ago
[16:54] <Blueking> BluesKaj  updated it two days ago  didn't fix problems
[16:56] <BluesKaj> Blueking, well I bought an inexpensive tp-link router and modem combo after I switched ISPs  and I'm very happy with it , but I checked with ISP first to make sure the devices would work on their networks

[16:59] <saltlake> anyone with intel on pnfs for ubuntu ?
[17:03] <tomshreds> Hi folks, I'm using a CDN to share videos online. I'm tracking stats and for 300 video views I shared the file 2615 times for 56gb of bandwidth (file worth 500mb). It seems something is leeching. I've blocked hotlinking but it's still pretty major. Any suggestions? Thanks
[17:03] <jrtappers> tomshreds, Server?
[17:03] <tomshreds> jrtappers nginx+php-fpm+varnish
[17:04] <jrtappers> And is the 56Gb at the server, or at the CDN?

[17:06] <m0r0n> Hello. Can someone help me with this tutorial on Deluge-Headless? I'm trying to create the startup script but I'm not sure where to locate it. See "Run the Deluge Daemon on startup" here: http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html
[17:12] <chotaz_work> m0r0n: people at #deluge might be able to help u better.
[17:13] <chotaz_work> m0r0n: more so, you are more likely to find support for software on its own channel channel rather than on the OS channel. since it's the first's responsibility to ensure or not compatibility with said OS :)

Using the ubuntu live CD and boot-repair I was able to fix the windows boot, but now grub won't load at all. What do you recommend to get my ubuntu install working again?
[17:29] <mbeasley_> BluesKaj: right. i have it configured in the profile. it's just that when text is bold, it uses one font and regular, another.
[17:29] <nikola_> I would like to ask you is it possible someone to help me to run windows 8.1 on ubuntu 14.04 without restarting, now i have both on my pc, i am new to linux

[17:34] <nikola_> w0rmie: thank you i will see what is this cause i have no idea
[17:36] <BluesKaj> Blueking, are you using network manager gui or the /etc/network/interfaces file to mange your connections?
[17:36] <w0rmie> nikola_: this is easer than the ubunto documents even you're a beginner, take this road: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29
[17:36] <Blueking> BluesKaj /etc/network/interfaces
[17:37] <skman> hi
[17:37] <skman> is there a way to make ubuntu keep the iptables configuration?
[17:38] <BluesKaj> Blueking, have you run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ?
[17:38] <Blueking> just 'service networking restart'¨
[17:39] <nikola_> w0rmie: this work on Ubuntu 64 bit?
[17:39] <skman> arfter rebooting, ubuntu delets all iptables rules!!!
[17:39] <Blueking> BluesKaj  'service networking restart' brings router back online
[17:39] <hkrrsx> skman: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-do-i-save-iptables-rules-or-settings/
[17:40] <w0rmie> nikola_ : i've used it under SONY VAIO i7 (8cores) 64bits so yes !
[17:40] <BluesKaj> Blueking, oh yeah , forgot init.d is no longer used
[17:40] <tgm4883> skman: how are you configuring the rules?
[17:42] <Blueking> bringing router offline and hook router on net again router remains offline, until reboot or service networking restart
[17:43] <Blueking> BluesKaj (I need to put your nick here every time?  forget to put in nick once a while) bringing router offline and hook router on net again router remains offline, until reboot or service networking restart
[17:43] <skman> thank you very much?

[17:44] <SchrodingersScat> Blueking: it helps to flag with their name so it will highlight them, can maybe miss a few if they are active and not much else going on in channel.
[17:44] <Blueking> I know :)
[17:44] <SchrodingersScat> just confirming your question :)
[17:45] <Blueking> damn kid 'puked' food on me  16 month old
[17:46] <SchrodingersScat> can probably be fixed from a livecd
[17:46] <Blueking> BluesKaj  back in some minutes need to change clothes
[17:47] <BluesKaj> Blueking,  I'm not sure how to deal with your setup, since I haven't seen anything like it before.
[17:48] <Blueking> BluesKaj  so nothing suspicious within ifconfig and ip addr show ?
[17:49] <BluesKaj> Blueking, it looks quite nornal except for the ipv6 addresses

[18:28] <elux> hello.. i just recently realized my ubuntu 14.04 server doesnt come with a swap and its running just mongodb which will consume all of the memory and will need a swap
[18:28] <elux> since mongodb uses mmap'ed files, apparently those will never use the swap (mongo docs)
[18:28] <elux> im trying to figure out an easy way to add a swap to the system now.. and looks like these days i can put a swap in just a file..?
[18:28] <elux> instead of a partition..?
[18:30] <ramose> I need some help, I have dual boot system windows/ubuntu . On ubuntu side I made some changes to /etc/default/grub , set roottimeout to 0 and uuid to Yes
[18:30] <AfterDarkness> is it normal holding alt and pressing a key. brings the menu item corresponding to the key?
[18:30] <ramose> But now I'm unable to boot my system
[18:30] <AfterDarkness> for example holding alt and pressing f brings file menu

[18:35] <ramose> EriC^^:   I have dual boot system windows/ubuntu . On ubuntu side I made some changes to /etc/default/grub , set the "roottimeout" to 0 and "uuid" to Yes
[18:35] <AfterDarkness> ctrl + b in terminal moves cursor to end of the world and ctrl + f moves to the beginning of the word
[18:35] <EriC^^> ramose, why?
[18:35] <ramose> EriC^^ : Now none of my OS's are coming up
[18:36] <EriC^^> ramose, why did you set uuid to yes and roottimeout to 0?
[18:36] <ramose> EriC^^ : I was trying to boot with own compiled kernel

[18:40] <EriC^^> octavian_, boot a live usb and install to it
[18:40] <octavian_> Root partition, home and swap?
[18:41] <octavian_> -anything else?
[18:41] <EriC^^> up to you
[18:41] <EriC^^> you could get by with just a root partition and a swap, or just a root partition
[18:42] <AfterDarkness> found the solution lol it was the in the terminal keyboard shortcuts by disabling menu access keys
[18:42] <octavian_> EriC^^: I also got this error: invalid system disk replace disk and then press any key
[18:42] <EriC^^> octavian_, check that it's not first in the boot order
[18:43] <EriC^^> in the bios

[18:46] <BluesKaj> octavian_, just make siure your windows hdd is first in the boot sequence
[18:46] <octavian_> EriC^^: I don't know what it fails... It loads and then when it should show the login screen it gives me an error
[18:47] <octavian_> BluesKaj: I already made it the first

[18:58] <tim_> anyway.. can i finally please get some help??
[18:59] <ramose> EriC^^ :  Yes
[19:00] <Amm0n> tim_, if its just at surfing it's maybe a locale setting of your browser.
[19:00] <EriC^^> ramose, does he use uefi?
[19:00] <hkrrsx> tim_: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Keyboard-Layout-in-Ubuntu
[19:01] <ramose> EriC^^: It should be plain BIOS for him I guess
[19:01] <tim_> no .. it changes every xx time.. usualy ok.. but sometimes it chganges... not just in browser
[19:01] <tim_> no links please
[19:01] <EriC^^> ramose, ok
[19:01] <Amm0n> tim_, if not read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
[19:01] <EriC^^> do you use bios?
[19:01] <ramose> Eric^^ : Yes
[19:01] <hkrrsx> tim_: you shouldn't ask for help and then tell how the help is to be provided
[19:02] <octavian_> EriC^^: thank you. I'll try this and I'll let you know if I can boot windows after installation :D hope it works
[19:02] <tim_> hy all.. i got problem with my ubuntu.. keyboard is allways!!! switching to englesh at internet surfing.. it is not browser, it is not possible to fix with system locale... please help!!
[19:03] <tim_> u see.. i click ads to get paid.. and sometimes browser changes system settings
[19:03] <EriC^^> ramose, ok type grep -A20 Ubuntu /boot/grub/grub.cfg and get the first menuentry
[19:03] <tim_> and i can not undu
[19:03] <SchrodingersScat> tim_: have you considered checking the keyboard layouts?
[19:03] <tim_> YES
[19:04] <archip> will 15.04 use mir by default?
[19:04] <nikola_> I want to ask does someone now can i run TecDoc on Ubunutu 14.04 64bit
[19:04] <EriC^^> ramose, paste it in paste.ubuntu.com and use it to make your friend's menu entry similar
[19:04] <ramose> EriC^^ : but where I need to type it?
[19:04] <tim_> all #easy# options i tryed
[19:04] <archip> or .05 whatever the next LTS is
[19:04] <EriC^^> ramose, modify his so it's similar, if it has any extra options try removing them
[19:05] <tim_> even some rows i put in terminal .. adviced from here... did not fix a problem
[19:06] <leonic> mmm how do i installl the qt libreries _
[19:06] <ramose> EriC^^ : This is where his system get stuck "http://askubuntu.com/questions/15515/disk-by-uuid-not-detected-initramfs-boot-failure"
[19:07] <leonic> or better  i need to know the if tha dwg file is goodor nop
[19:08] <octavian_> EriC^^: but still I don't understand why it doesn't boot up windows while I have the second hdd connected(It loads windows and then when it should show the login screen it restarts)
[19:08] <EriC^^> ramose, it might be using an invalid uuid, if you press c to get a grub prompt in grub, typing ls -l might show the uuid's
[19:08] <EriC^^> ramose, if you have a live usb or cd, you could just use it to chroot and modify /etc/default/grub and update-grub
[19:09] <EriC^^> octavian_, i have no idea, boot the live usb and check the disk, the partition table etc.
[19:09] <tim_> SchrodingersScat, any idea?
[19:10] <Amm0n> tim_, can you Shift+Super+Space to go back to previous layout?
[19:10] <EriC^^> ramose, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[19:10] <octavian_> EriC^^: check the disk? Does the live cd have any sort of diagnosis tool?
[19:10] <tim_> does not work
[19:10] <tim_> alt + space does not work
[19:11] <Banana_> i have problems using the intel graphics installer for linux. It fails on installing packages
[19:11] <EriC^^> octavian_, i'd start with sudo parted -l and see if it recognizes it fine, and then maybe create a new partition table
[19:12] <EriC^^> octavian_, you can install software in the live usb if you need
[19:12] <FutureSuture> So what is the obvious way to install SUSE Studio Imagewriter in Ubuntu?
[19:12] <mike802> http://mike802.blogspot.com/2013/09/slowing-progress.html
[19:12] <mike802> http://mike802.blogspot.com/2013/09/company-summary.html
[19:12] <FutureSuture> Googling has been a waste of time as I've found nothing.
[19:13] <ramose> EriC^^: But can't I do anything from initramfs prompt?
[19:13] <mike802> have you tried #suse?
[19:13] <FutureSuture> mike802, well, my friend is on Ubuntu and wants to install it there.
[19:14] <Amm0n> tim_, System Settings / Keyboard / Typing / Layouts / Options... / Keys to change layout
[19:14] <AfterDarkness> why does remmina gives protocol security negotiation failure?
[19:14] <AfterDarkness> i have enabled the port
[19:14] <mike802> ok, my bad
[19:14] <hkrrsx> FutureSuture: that program looks specific to the SUSE operating system ... what about UNetBootin ?
[19:14] <hkrrsx> http://alternativeto.net/software/suse-studio-imagewriter/
[19:14] <bekks> FutureSuture: Despite he wants it, that software is not available on Ubuntu - and so he is pretty much on his own with using SUSE software.
[19:14] <tim_> i got only one source.. slovenian
[19:14] <bekks> For creating a bootable Ubuntu image, just use "dd".
[19:15] <tim_> thats what is funny
[19:15] <FutureSuture> I use SUSE Studio Imagewriter just fine in Manjaro. Surely my friend can install it just as easily in Ubuntu, right? She's in another city so I can't do it for her.
[19:16] <bekks> FutureSuture: There is no need for that software actually.
[19:16] <reboot_> can some1 tell me how can i get all information gathering tools in ubuntoo that are present in kali linux with some kind of command.
[19:16] <FutureSuture> Well, okay, thanks.
[19:16] <tim_> Amm0n,  i only got 1 input source.. and keys for changin sys locale ARE NOT WORKING
[19:16] <bekks> A Manjaro user seeking for SUSE support in #Ubuntu. It's weekend. </2cent>
[19:17] <hkrrsx> FutureSuture:  Manjaro can install stuff from the AUR using yaourt or other package managing software .... Ubuntu and Manjaro are 2 completely different beasts
[19:17] <reboot_> can some1 tell me how can i get all information gathering tools in ubuntoo that are present in kali linux with some kind of command.
[19:17] <bazhang> reboot_, no
[19:18] <bazhang> reboot_, stop asking here
[19:18] <nikola_> I want to ask does someone know can i run TecDoc and Photoshop on Ubunutu 14.04 64bit
[19:18] <bazhang> nikola_, check the appdb first
[19:19] <tim_> why is reboot not allowed to ask here?
[19:19] <bazhang> !appdb | nikola_
[19:19] <bazhang> tim_, its for kali linux, not ubuntu thats why
[19:19] <hkrrsx> !kali > tim_
[19:20] <tim_> ow.. ok, ok
[19:20] <tim_> tnx
[19:21] <AfterDarkness> strange when i change the settings to VNC instead of RDP it works
[19:21] <AfterDarkness> any ideas why ?
[19:21] <nikola_> thank you
[19:22] <gangil> hi, I am trying to setup a custom debian repo. However, I am confused where should I add the control file which establishes dependencies among packages?
[19:23] <alexises> :'( it's easyer with rpm
[19:23] <alexises> just exec createrepo and all work
[19:24] <tim_> and i am waiting... >/
[19:24] <gangil> alexises:

[19:24] <usr13> Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Minimal CD  will install full Desktop Ubuntu?   Yes?______  No?_______
[19:25] <yeats> !10.04 | usr13
[19:25] <Kris545545_> usr13: yes
[19:25] <usr13> Kris545545_: Tnx
[19:25] <Flannel> usr13: If you tell it to.  But 10.04 is EOL on the desktop, so you may want to go with 12.04 or 14.04 instead.
[19:25] <bazhang> the mini cd will not
[19:25] <yeats> usr13: you should install something newer
[19:26] <usr13> It's 14.04 sorry.
[19:26] <Kris545545_> 14.04 mini will installa desktop
[19:30] <AfterDarkness> do i need to install xrdp? or does ubuntu have an rdp service by defualt?
[19:31] <tim_> hy all.. i got problem with my ubuntu.. keyboard is allways!!! switching to englesh at internet surfing.. please help!! it is not browser and sys locale settings are fixing the problem.. please help!!
[19:31] <[Ex0r]> This is sort of a generalized question, as it has multiple 'connections' to it. I have windows 8 installed on one harddrive in my PC. I want to install ubuntu on another hard drive in my pc, and when I restart the computer, I get the option which one I want to boot into (With ubuntu being the default option if none are selected)
[19:31] <[Ex0r]> how can I achieve this?
[19:32] <leonic> thaanks people it worked but the file was  a litte corrupted
[19:32] <mihai_stefan> @Ex0r
[19:32] <mihai_stefan> is windows installed as UEFI?
[19:32] <[Ex0r]> windows8? Yes, i'm pretty sure it's a requirement for win8
[19:33] <EriC^^> !uefi | [Ex0r]
[19:33] <mihai_stefan> not really, it can be installed MBR
[19:33] <JokesOnYou77> it's a pain in the BIOS (dadum ching)
[19:33] <[Ex0r]> Well than the default/recommended option is UEFI, I remember it selecting it during installation.
[19:34] <[Ex0r]> However, they are both on two different physical drives
[19:35] <mihai_stefan> well, you have to correctly set the partitions when installing, and set grub to install on the bootable drive (which you selected in BIOS)
[19:35] <octavian_> EriC^^: install it and while i am in grub i ca not use the keyboard.. It seems to be dead. After that it auotomatically boots in ubuntu without letting me to use windows
[19:36] <SNAFUdowser> Hey guys.  I have 2 laptops both the same model, and I want to clone each (using clonezilla) and then swap the harddrives.  They both dual boot Ubuntu and Windows.  Will the process be as simple as, clone each laptop, and then copy each clone to new laptop?  Or will I have to fix the boot settings or something?  Or should it automatically work perfectly?
[19:36] <[Ex0r]> mihai_stefan- So there's nothing I can do during ubuntu installation that will do this all for me automatically?
[19:36] <mihai_stefan> the graphical installer has an option to use a whole drive
[19:37] <mihai_stefan> and i think, by  default, it selects the correct place to install the bootloader
[19:37] <[Ex0r]> right, I know that, and I can select the second drive (Not the windows one), but does the graphical installer give me an option to change the bootloader and specify which one is default?
[19:37] <mihai_stefan> yes, it does, if i remeber correctly, in the same screen
[19:37] <mihai_stefan> at the bottom
[19:37] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], you're going to be installing to a second hdd right?
[19:37] <[Ex0r]> EriC^^- yes
[19:38] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], it's not that simple
[19:38] <[Ex0r]> Windows on drive 1, ubuntu on drive 2, default boot I want to go on drive 2, unless I choose drive 1 in the loader
[19:38] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], you have an efi partition on the first hdd, and your uefi uses the efi files there to boot windows
[19:38] <mihai_stefan> you have to disable secure boot from windows
[19:38] <EriC^^> so you'll need to install ubuntu on the second hdd, and give it its own efi partition
[19:39] <octavian_> mihai_stefan: can you pm me pls? :D
[19:39] <[Ex0r]> EriC^^- Can that be done inside of ubuntu installer?
[19:39] <econdudeawesome> Is this an apropros forum to ask some general Linux/Xorg questions in addition to Ubuntu?
[19:39] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], and you can have your uefi boot the ubuntu efi file on the second hdd, and have grub chainload the other windows efi file on the first hdd
[19:39] <[Ex0r]> .. that sounds really advanced to be doing manually
[19:40] <a556265> is this (Acer E3-112) a good laptop for linux considering it's £219, or would there be a better one at roughly that price point?
[19:40] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], yeah, create an efi partition, and choose at the bottom the ubuntu hdd
[19:40] <[Ex0r]> let me double check, I may not actually have UEFI installed
[19:40] <[Ex0r]> or running, I was thinking it was something different.
[19:41] <[Ex0r]> Can I check without powering down the system?
[19:41] <[Ex0r]> nope im booting in legacy mode
[19:41] <[Ex0r]> so no uefi
[19:42] <linbin> Hi I installed ubuntu with KDE desktop on my chromebook, have no idea what I'm doing - I think the first step would be to make sure im at the latest version of everything - please help
[19:42] <econdudeawesome> Im having major boot errors. I upgraded to the nvidia kernel and now x won't start AND it can't find my screens. I'm at  a loss. Note that I am running Debian Wheezy, so this is more asking for general principles help than ubuntu specific help...
[19:42] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], well that's good, just install ubuntu to the second hdd and make sure the bootloader is set to ubuntu's hdd at the bottom, then change the boot order in the bios to boot it
[19:43] <[Ex0r]> EriC^^- I see, that makes sense. Will that also prompt a screen to allow me to select which OS to boot to, and after like 'x' seconds, default to one?
[19:44] <EriC^^> SNAFUdowser, not sure what you're trying to do exactly, you have 2 laptops and you're cloning one and want to use it on the other
[19:44] <EriC^^> ?
[19:44] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], yeah, it will, you can set the timeout in /etc/default/grub
[19:44] <[Ex0r]> Okay, awesome. Glad I can do this easier than having to do a bunch of advanced stuff.
[19:44] <[Ex0r]> Thank you
[19:45] <[Ex0r]> If only PCs could operate now where you could actually 'dual-boot' both OS' at the same time.
[19:45] <tim_> anything for me yet??
[19:45] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], you mean simultaneously?
[19:45] <[Ex0r]> yeah, like in parallel
[19:45] <econdudeawesome> What was your question tim_?
[19:45] <[Ex0r]> and you can just switch to either one on the fly
[19:46] <EriC^^> [Ex0r], well, you can use virtualbox if you want
[19:46] <mihai_stefan> [Ex0r]: you an use a virtual machine for that
[19:46] <tim_> seriuslly??
[19:46] <tim_> hy all.. i got problem with my ubuntu.. keyboard is allways!!! switching to englesh at internet surfing.. please help!! it is not browser and sys locale settings are fixing the problem.. please help!!
[19:46] <[Ex0r]> yeah, but virtualbox has severe hardware limitations
[19:46] <[Ex0r]> for example, if I want to game, I cant game in a vm
[19:46] <econdudeawesome> tim_ I only recently came on
[19:46] <EriC^^> tim_, maybe you're pressing super+space?
[19:46] <tim_> IT does NOT WORK
[19:47] <Logan> econdudeawesome: you'll probably want to follow these instructions: http://askubuntu.com/a/474923/46731
[19:47] <tim_> i tryed all easy options..
[19:47] <econdudeawesome> Logan: much thanks
[19:47] <Logan> econdudeawesome: that's assuming you used the x-updates PPA (adjust the purging command accordingly)
[19:48] <Logan> and no problem - let me know if you have any further issues
[19:48] <econdudeawesome> Logan: i'll give it a shot!
[19:49] <kian> finished some system updates and said reboot required. They involved kernel (as far as I remember) and rebooted and I got a black screen blinking cursor.
[19:49] <kian> Should I attempt a force reboot?
[19:50] <mihai_stefan> can someone please help me with installing the nvidia drivers on kubuntu vivid beta 2? (i have a laptop with optimus: nvidia 750m and intel hd 4600)? thanks!
[19:50] <bekks> kian: You arent using Windows. Rebooting will not help. Which graphics card do you use, and whch driver?
[19:51] <kian> bekks: haven't touched Windows in 3 haha
[19:51] <kian> bekks: intel integrated
[19:51] <kian> bekks: lubuntu 14.04 lts
[19:51] <bekks> kian: Optimus by chance?
[19:52] <kian> bekks: no idea man
[19:52] <kian> It's a dell optiplex gx620
[19:52] <thunder_kk> can we use bluetooth module hc05 to stream music
[19:52] <bprompt> kian:     how many files was the update btw?
[19:52] <kian> bprompt: can't recall
[19:52] <kian> updated last night, rebooted after work today
[19:53] <bprompt> kian:    ok... if you list  say...    ->   ls /var/cache/apt/archives   <---- how many files does it list?
[19:53] <thunder_kk> can we use bluetooth module hc05 to stream music?
[19:53] <kian> bprompt: can't access anything man lol
[19:53] <bprompt> kian:    how about in "recovery mode"?    hold-down Shift key while booting to get the grub menu, and choose "recovery mode" from the list
[19:55] <bprompt> kian:    just wondering if you can simply redo the .deb install manually in recovery mode, without the GUI loaded, so it updates properly without any file-lock issues, but if you have too many .deb files there... then you may end up installing stuff you may not need or want
[19:56] <a556265> Would someone be able to help with my laptop question from earlier?
[19:56] <bprompt> a556265:    repost maybe
[19:56] <a556265> is this (Acer E3-112) a good laptop for linux considering it's £219, or would there be a better one at roughly that price point?
[19:57] <Desez2tPunk> Does anyone know of a program or anything that might allow automatic LCD brightness according to light levels like Android, but for Ubuntu?
[19:57] <bprompt> a556265:    good and bad, are always relative    ->    " Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so."  <br> ~~  Shakespeare ~~
[19:58] <a556265> bprompt, alright in your opinion do you think it would be worth the money?
[19:58] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:    usually on your monitor it'd a button for that already :), or on a mobile, a [Fn] function key combo
[19:58] <bprompt> a556265:    we're back to square one, depends on an array of things
[19:59] <rgb-one> a556265: look into redshift
[19:59] <yeats> a556265: I would do a quick google search for ubuntu bug reports on that model, and you might search the ubuntu forums
[19:59] <a556265> Thanks everyone
[19:59] <rgb-one> a556265: http://jonls.dk/redshift/
[20:00] <bprompt> a556265:     I mean.. say... I can run say... hmmm ubuntu 9.x just fine on a single core 1.3ghz or so, and that's "good" for running lots of stuff
[20:00] <trijntje> i set ubuntu to automatically install updates but i just noticed I have over 250MB of updates. Why doesnt ubuntu honor those settings?
[20:00] <issa> hello
[20:00] <Desez2tPunk> bprompt, For automatic adjustment? What would it look like?
[20:00] <DJones> a556265: As you're asking about prices in £'s, I'm assuming you're in the uk, might be worth asking in #ubuntu-uk as well
[20:00] <issa> i have added a script on /etc/rc.local, but ubuntu don"t want lunch it
[20:00] <issa> how i can ffound why please ?
[20:00] <kian> bprompt: oh wow
[20:01] <bekks> !upstart | issa
[20:01] <issa> becaus if i lunch the command on the terminal that"'s works
[20:01] <kian> bprompt: false alarm everyone, just my stupidity
[20:01] <TheNumb> issa: can you pastebin the file?
[20:01] <octavian_> If I have two hdds(one with win8 and one with Ubuntu) the grub should be installed on the hdd with win8 or with ubuntu?
[20:01] <kian> left a flash drive plugged in
[20:01] <yeats> trijntje: this is old, but might be helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[20:01] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:    automatic?    it usually steps up or down based on what you press,  ->   http://cdn.computerhope.com/laptop-brightness-keys.jpg
[20:02] <TheNumb> octavian_: which one is the "boot" drive?
[20:02] <issa> http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/display.php?image=e-5515af43c4a2c1.81341815.jpg
[20:02] <rgb-one> octavian_: The one with Ubuntu.
[20:02] <bprompt> kian:    To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle.  ~~ George Orwell, "In Front of Your Nose" ~~
[20:02] <Desez2tPunk> bprompt, see that is the thing, I know it usually steps according to what you press, but I am looking for a way to make it automated.
[20:03] <bekks> issa: Did you read the link given?
[20:03] <TheNumb> issa: that's not the proper way of doing that.
[20:03] <trijntje> yeats: i dont think so, i'm on 14.04 and it has this option in the gui
[20:03] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:     hmm?   automated?    like.. read your thoughts and does it?  or activated with eyesight?   looks very automated to me, maybe it is just me, dunno
[20:03] <rgb-one> octavian_: If you want to launch Ubuntu first, set the HDD with Ubuntu above the one with Windows
[20:04] <issa> bekks, which link ?
[20:04] <Desez2tPunk> bprompt, Have you ever used an Android phone?
[20:04] <bekks> issa: The link you were given by ubottu.
[20:04] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:    sure, and tablet
[20:05] <rgb-one> octavian_: Device boot priority is set from the BIOS
[20:05] <Desez2tPunk> bprompt, then you know how they can auto adjust according to how bright the room is. That is what I am looking for, but for a laptop.
[20:05] <issa> i don"t understand, i ahve to install upstart ?
[20:06] <bekks> Desez2tPunk: Your laptop would need a sensor for doing that.
[20:06] <octavian_> Ok guys I have Grub on the Ubuntu'hdd but the problem is: I can't use keyboard while I am in Grub... It seems to be dead. After this it loads up ubuntu and I can normally use keyboard
[20:06] <bekks> issa: No. Your Ubuntu is using upstart already, so "the ancient ways" dont work anymore.
[20:06] <octavian_> rgb-one: ^
[20:06] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:    ?   well.. those buttons do that, on an android screen, I configure the "tap" on the widget, but that's because it lacks a keyboard and an [Fn]  key, if it had one, I'd use that
[20:06] <yeats> trijntje: seen this?: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9/how-do-i-enable-automatic-updates
[20:07] <issa> ok so i have to learn upstart
[20:07] <bprompt> Desez2tPunk:     maybe your wording is off, on what you're after, is all
[20:07] <Desez2tPunk> bekks, no one has come up with a make shift one that parses the camera perhaps every few minutes or so then shuts it off?
[20:07] <octavian_> TheNumb: ^
[20:07] <bekks> Desez2tPunk: Apparently no.
[20:07] <TheNumb> octavian_: usb keyboard?
[20:07] <TheNumb> wireless?
[20:07] <bekks> Desez2tPunk: So be the first one :)
[20:08] <octavian_> TheNumb: yep
[20:08] <TheNumb> octavian_: which one? :P
[20:08] <octavian_> TheNumb: usb
[20:08] <octavian_> :D
[20:09] <trijntje> yeats: I have set this already: https://i.stack.imgur.com/I3yHR.png The problem is that it appears to have no effect
[20:09] <TheNumb> trijntje: how do you know?
[20:09] <yeats> trijntje: but security updates are not *all* updates
[20:10] <bekks> trijntje: Only security updates are installed. All other updates have to be installed manually.
[20:10] <octavian_> TheNumb: usb keyboard
[20:10] <TheNumb> octavian_: hmm, try enabling legacy usb support in the bios
[20:10] <Desez2tPunk> bekks, for future reference, while asking on here and continuing to google I found this charm "Calise" http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/calise-sets-screen-backlight-based-on.html Also "WildGuppy" which is supposedly simpler for people without terminal knowledge http://www.webupd8.org/2014/01/wildguppy-adjusts-your-laptops.html
[20:10] <yeats> trijntje: you can verify what's been installed when by scanning /var/log/dpkg.log and related
[20:11] <trijntje> TheNumb: yeats, bekks I know because firefox disabled the flash plugin because it was no longer secure
[20:12] <bekks> trijntje: So if you know, then you already know the reason for your "issue".
[20:12] <octavian_> TheNumb: another problem is that if I try to boot from the win8 hdd it fails.. Blue screen and restart
[20:12] <TheNumb> err ,_,
[20:13] <octavian_> TheNumb: if i deconnect the hdd with Ubuntu it can boot the windows hdd
[20:14] <trijntje> bekks: I dont know the reason for my issue, why doesnt ubuntu install the security updates
[20:14] <OerHeks> trijntje, is this an example or really you on maverick ??? https://i.stack.imgur.com/I3yHR.png
[20:15] <bekks> trijntje: Ubuntu install security updates ONLY, thats how you configured your Ubuntu.
[20:15] <Desez2tPunk> Is there any charts out there explaining the various names of various parts of the Ubuntu desktop? Such as the Unity Launcher is the bar to the left, etc.
[20:15] <octavian_> TheNumb: it's like a conflict between those hdds
[20:15] <trijntje> OerHeks: no, thats just an example
[20:15] <TheNumb> octavian_: is it a BIOS setup or UEFI?
[20:15] <trijntje> bekks: that should include security updates for flash right?
[20:15] <bekks> trijntje: Good. So pastebin YOUR settings please.
[20:16] <octavian_> TheNumb: sorry? :D
[20:16] <rgb-one> octavian_: lol
[20:16] <TheNumb> ugh
[20:17] <bekks> trijntje: Which version of flashplugin-installer is installed on your system, currently?
[20:17] <TheNumb> octavian_: what's the model of the mobo?
[20:17] <rgb-one> octavian_: spend a week with arch linux and you will be able to understand his language
[20:18] <octavian_> TheNumb: just a moment
[20:18] <hkrrsx> Desez2tPunk: I found this really tiny image: http://media.bestofmicro.com/ubuntu-windows-benchmarks,2-A-324082-13.png
[20:18] <trijntje> bekks: 11.2.202.451ubuntu0.14.
[20:18] <Desez2tPunk> hkrrsx, Decent enough, thank you :0
[20:18] <Desez2tPunk> :)*
[20:18] <bekks> trijntje: Thats the currenty security updated version.
[20:18] <trijntje> bekks: yes, because I just manually installed updates
[20:18] <octavian_> TheNumb: G41MT-S2PT
[20:19] <bekks> trijntje: So pastebin your update settings, as already requested.
[20:19] <issa> well sorry i don"t understand how works upstart, where i have to add my script to make it work at startup please
[20:19] <TheNumb> issa: try .xinitrc
[20:19] <bekks> TheNumb: Thats the totally wrong place.
[20:19] <TheNumb> issa: in user's home directory
[20:20] <issa> TheNumb, that's not good, because i need to lunch the screen before the login page
[20:20] <TheNumb> bekks: what was he trying to do again?
[20:20] <bekks> issa: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
[20:20] <bekks> TheNumb: Trying to use upstart.
[20:21] <octavian_> TheNumb: it's like a conflict between those two hdds
[20:21] <trijntje> bekks: https://i.imgur.com/RrG7ils.png
[20:22] <bekks> trijntje: What does the third combo box mean?
[20:23] <trijntje> bekks: pre-released updates
[20:23] <bekks> trijntje: Thats the meaning of the third checkbox. Whats the meaning of the third combobox?
[20:23] <Blueking> router(ubuntu/shorewall on pc) network problems   are this software or hardware error ? -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10691231/
[20:24] <trijntje> bekks: show updates when: directly
[20:24] <bekks> Blueking: Neither nor.
[20:24] <TheNumb> octavian_: I'm out of ideas. Sorry :(
[20:24] <bekks> trijntje: Ah ok.
[20:24] <rgb-one> issa: https://tr.im/tS48W
[20:24] <Blueking> bekks: how where what ?
[20:24] <bekks> Blueking: your message show that the link went down.
[20:25] <Blueking> so it's fibermodem that caused it ?
[20:25] <issa> rgb-one, that"s look better i try it
[20:25] <issa> :)
[20:25] <bekks> Blueking: Most likely, yes.
[20:26] <octavian_>  Omg it's really annoying... Maybe tge windows ia broken or maybe I need to set some parameters like slave/master... I don't get it
[20:26] <octavian_> TheNumb: ^
[20:26] <Blueking> bekks: ok  and when I simulate net drop out performed by pull cable out and back on it remains offline (was online before unplug)
[20:27] <buconero51> ciao
[20:27] <bekks> Blueking: That may be a modem issue, also.

[20:30] <androdexter> Hey, guys!!! Ubuntu hotspot not working for Android phones.... Is there any way to connect?
[20:30] <viod> androdexter: this is an android-related issue iirc, the solution would be to root the phone and install some modules
[20:31] <viod> androdexter: see http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/4418/why-cant-my-device-see-an-ad-hoc-wifi-network
[20:31] <trijntje> is there a way to find out when an updated version of a package became available?
[20:33] <octavian_> If I reinstall windows on sda will the grub get problems even if it's installed on sdb alongside Ubuntu?
[20:33] <rgb-one> trijntje: From my understanding Canonical only maintains a few packages officially so you would have to keep up with the development of the specific package you have in mind.
[20:34] <rgb-one> octavian_: Are you trying to dual boot?
[20:34] <octavian_> rgb-one: yep
[20:34] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: Don't quote me on anything here... I'm pretty unsure, but I think if you install windows second, it will replace grub...
[20:34] <bekks> !dualboot | octavian_
[20:34] <CptRageToaster> I'm going to have to do some research myself
[20:35] <Arrick> ok... so I wanted my xubuntu box to look like a mac... I followed a tutorial online... everything went well with this tutorial http://www.noobslab.com/2014/04/macbuntu-1404-pack-is-released.html until a reboot was performed.... and then I couldnt even get to a terminal prompt.... go figure.
[20:35] <rgb-one> click alt F1
[20:36] <rgb-one> Arrick: How far do you boot to?
[20:36] <trijntje> rgb-one: I'm just curious when the latest flash plugin became available
[20:36] <rgb-one> Arrick: How far does the machine boot to?
[20:36] <octavian_> rgb-one: I am using separate hdds for ubuntu and win8
[20:36] <Arrick> it doesnt even get to where it can ctrl+alt+f2
[20:36] <Arrick> or alt f1
[20:36] <bekks> trijntje: Use packages.ubuntu.com and take a look at the changelog of the package desired.
[20:37] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: It doesn't matter
[20:37] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: It will still replace grub with it's own bootloader
[20:37] <Arrick> blank black screen right after the computer prompts for the bios, etc..
[20:37] <octavian_> Where is grub stored?
[20:37] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: If you go that route, you'll have to re-install grub as your bootloader using an ubuntu iso/install cd
[20:37] <CptRageToaster> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows
[20:38] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: I think it's the MBR that that guide talks about
[20:38] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record
[20:38] <sudoritz> ahoy there (is there a way to point local4 to a remote syslog BUT modifiy its output before it sends over) like  change the format and regex it if possible
[20:38] <sudoritz> local4.* @172.27.144.44     kinda wanna do    local4.* @172.27.144.44 {awk '{print $1"||",$2}'} kinda thing so i can have a better format before heading over
[20:39] <octavian_> MBR?
[20:39] <Arrick> master boot record
[20:39] <CptRageToaster> octavian_: Master Boot Record
[20:39] <trijntje> bekks: so http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_11.2.202.451ubuntu0.14.04.1/changelog shows 3 security updates since jan 23, but dpkg.log shows no updates at all since then
[20:39] <CptRageToaster> Windows will overwrite it with it's own special deal, so if you install Ubuntu First, THEN windows second
[20:39] <CptRageToaster> the last one to the race will have the final say as to what MBR you use
[20:39] <CptRageToaster> this means that if you isntall windows second, you'll lose grub (for a bit)
[20:40] <rgb-one> octavian_: This may be useful https://tr.im/uks69
[20:40] <Arrick> I recommend installing ubuntu last.
[20:40] <CptRageToaster> and will have to take an extra step to Re-install grub
[20:40] <CptRageToaster> or... yes... install ubuntu again
[20:40] <bekks> trijntje: you are using 11.2.202.451ubuntu0.14.04.1 which is the _current_ version.
[20:40] <trijntje> bekks: yes, but I installed it _manually_, even though I configured ubuntu to install it _automatically_
[20:42] <sefio> I get this all the time                "sudo: unable to resolve host pc"          already checked hosts and hostname
[20:42] <Arrick> sefio, what version you running?
[20:42] <sefio> 14.04
[20:43] <gry> what does your hosts file contain?
[20:43] <bekks> trijntje: whats the output of "grep flashplugin dpkg.log | tail -1"?
[20:43] <Arrick> http://askubuntu.com/questions/59458/error-message-when-i-run-sudo-unable-to-resolve-host-none
[20:43] <Arrick> sefio, ^
[20:44] <sefio> hosts file   ->             http://pastebin.com/eaRjttb2
[20:44] <sefio> I already checked hosts and hostname, it's not that
[20:44] <bekks> sefio: And whats your /etc/hostname ?
[20:44] <rgb-one> trijntje: so the problem is that Ubuntu doesn't update even though you specifically set it to automatic update?
[20:45] <trijntje> rgb-one: yes
[20:45] <gry> sefio, try to put "pc" into quotation marks, check for the issue
[20:45] <trijntje> bekks: 2015-03-27 21:18:20 status installed flashplugin-installer:i386 11.2.202.451ubuntu0.14.04.1
[20:46] <sefio> hostname says "pc"
[20:46] <sefio> nothing else
[20:46] <issa> hello
[20:46] <issa> the service not working
[20:46] <bekks> issa: "the service"?
[20:47] <sefio> also in a terminal I do "sudo hostname pc"              and it says         "sudo: unable to resolve host pc"            and then after this            "ping pc"               and same thing
[20:47] <issa> ok
[20:47] <rgb-one> trijntje: Is this a server version of ubuntu you are running?
[20:47] <trijntje> rgb-one: no, lubuntu
[20:47] <issa> so i create a file lightkeybord on /etc/init.d --> http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-5515c1c2c9a425.80338545.jpg
[20:47] <issa> with a script and when i start it on reboot
[20:47] <issa> i have a return 1
[20:47] <issa> why ?
[20:48] <bekks> issa: because creating that script will not have any effect. You have to configure upstart to run thta init script, too.
[20:48] <gry> sefio: I mean in the hosts file try to put it into quotation marks
[20:48] <issa> bekks,  i make it like the how to says
[20:48] <gry> sefio: and pastebin your hostname file please, I'm a bit puzzled. it looks more or less ok, does the issue persist after reboot?
[20:49] <issa> i make the upstart-rc  script defaut
[20:49] <sefio> gry: yes after reboot
[20:49] <rgb-one> trijntje: https://tr.im/jdxuq have a look at this
[20:49] <sefio> gry you mean in hosts put the pc in quotation?
[20:50] <gry> yes
[20:50] <Blueking> bekks: any idea how to test what is faulty ?
[20:50] <sefio> if I put in the terminal "hostname"
[20:50] <sefio> it says pc
[20:51] <sefio> gry: ^^
[20:51] <bekks> Blueking: Use another modem?
[20:51] <Blueking> fibermodem...
[20:51] <trijntje> rgb-one: I'll give it a try, just weird that the gui option doesnt seem to have any effect
[20:51] <Blueking> telsys cpl3
[20:51] <bekks> Blueking: Use another modem...? :)
[20:51] <issa> in fact hte problem is probably is xmodmap can"t start something before serveur X is started
[20:52] <bekks> issa: Which is correct, yes.
[20:52] <Blueking> have none spare :P
[20:52] <bekks> Blueking: Then you cant test :)
[20:52] <issa> and whe u login the server X is reseting so my command is deseaper in the /null
[20:52] <gry> sefio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10691406/ is what I have with computer name "laptop". you could copy from that, probably.
[20:52] <gry> sefio: er, computer name "localhost"
[20:52] <issa> so i have no solution to lunch it before i log in
[20:52] <bekks> issa: So run that script after you login.
[20:52] <issa> that's really badless
[20:53] <gry> sefio: which is silly, I'll go try to change it to something different and pastebin once it works
[20:53] <Blueking> bekks hum ISP might have log if their hardware have failed or ?
[20:53] <issa> but the good way is get the functionality of the keyboard before u login
[20:53] <issa> not after
[20:53] <bekks> Blueking: Yeah.
[20:53] <sefio> gry:  what is the   ::1 for?
[20:53] <bekks> issa: So run it before and after you login.
[20:53] <TheNumb> issa: so you want your login manager to run a command, right?
[20:53] <rgb-one> issa: what keyboard functionality are you looking for?
[20:54] <issa> rgb-one, lighting
[20:54] <Pici> sefio: ::1 is the localhost/127.0.0.1 in ipv6
[20:54] <gry> sefio: ipv6.. but I am thinking my setup is probably useless, since using localhost for a computer name adds plenty of confusion, so if you can ask someone else here to pastebin their files it would probably be more useful
[20:54] <issa> ii have a cmstorm keyboard with a button to light the keyboard, works perfectly on windows
[20:54] <issa> but no on linux
[20:54] <rgb-one> issa: what model laptop are you using?
[20:54] <sugoiryu> hey.. when i boot i must use the recovery mode or else my keyboard/trackpad  are not working.. how can i check y?
[20:54] <Blueking> you doesn't know what kind of log is needed to see em ?
[20:55] <Blueking> bekks
[20:55] <bekks> Blueking: Me neither. I dont know their hardware and their logs :)
[20:55] <gry> sugoiryu: lack of drivers, please mention your keyboard model
[20:55] <issa> is not a laptop
[20:56] <sugoiryu> gry i am using a toshiba satellite c850d
[20:56] <sugoiryu> in recovery mode the keyboard and trackpad are working fine
[20:56] <issa> rgb-one, http://www.amazon.com/CM-Storm-Devastator-Keyboard-Edition/dp/B00DKXXAAQ?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B00DKXXAAQ
[20:56] <issa> this model
[20:56] <sefio> gry: also I can't do this                 "sudo: unable to resolve host pc"
[20:56] <issa> it' rocks
[20:56] <issa> but not on linux
[20:56] <sefio> gry: sorry I can't do                 sudo hostname pc
[20:56] <sefio> it says "sudo: unable to resolve host pc"
[20:57] <gry> sugoiryu: is the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package installed?
[20:57] <igoryonya> I mount a remote disk by sshfs. when I loose connection, the whole system halts, until I get reconnected and I cannot do anything. everything freezes without the connection. Is it possible to avoid it, make sshfs nonblocking, I guess
[20:57] <gry> sefio: alright, you might have to boot into recovery mode to edit these files, or you might have to use a live cd.
[20:58] <sugoiryu> gry yes it is
[20:58] <sefio> look I do this in a terminal     ->       sudo hostname xxx        -> it says    "sudo: unable to resolve host pc"       -> then I do  "hostname"       -> it says "xxx"     -> then I do "sudo apt-get update"  --> it says  "sudo: unable to resolve host xxx"
[20:59] <sugoiryu> im in the gui environment right now and everything is fine... if i reboot to use the normal kernel the trackpad and keyboard stop working..
[20:59] <bekks> sefio: Did you pastebin /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts already?
[20:59] <gry> sugoiryu: do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[20:59] <sefio> gry: there's got to be something else wrong besides those 2 files
[20:59] <sefio> bekks: yes
[20:59] <sefio> it's not those 2 files
[20:59] <rgb-one> issa: https://tr.im/zvugd
[20:59] <sefio> I just set the hostname manually and get same error
[20:59] <sugoiryu> gry: no
[20:59] <gry> bekks: https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eaRjttb2 is his hosts file
[21:01] <bekks> gry: And did we see his /etc/hostname file too?
[21:01] <sefio> bekks: it only says pc
[21:02] <sefio> bekks: that's all
[21:02] <sefio> and also the setting of hostname manually in terminal won't work
[21:04] <rgb-one> sefio: What is the content of the hostname file?
[21:04] <sefio> pc
[21:04] <sefio> rgb-one: pc                              just those 2 letters
[21:04] <rgb-one> change the hostname to something else
[21:05] <rgb-one> echo hostname > /etc/hostname
[21:05] <rgb-one> sefio: where hostname is the hostname you want
[21:05] <sefio> rgb-one: why
[21:06] <rgb-one> sefio: when you first installed the machine what hostname did you set?
[21:06] <sefio> rgb-one: don't remember
[21:07] <sugoiryu> so any ideas?
[21:08] <sugoiryu> i just installed xubuntu yesterday and everything was fine..
[21:08] <sefio> now i do sudo gedit /etc/hostname and it says                                   ** (gedit:17400): WARNING **: Could not open X display No protocol specified error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the environment.
[21:09] <bekks> sefio: using sudo with graphical applications may mess up your .Xauthority file.
[21:09] <gry> sugoiryu: out of my depth; try to ask the question again and see if someone else can pick it up.
[21:09] <gry> sefio: use gksu instead of sudo
[21:10] <sefio> bekks: this error never happened before, used sudo gedit a thousand times
[21:10] <ste123> hi guys. I've just installed latest ubuntu but I've come across something I've not seen before - when typing passwords with a ~ followed by another symbol, ubuntu will repeat the tilde symbol even though I have not pressed it again. It almost locked me out of the system before because it made me mistype the password. For example if I type ~(keep tilde pressed down) then $$$, the output will be ~$~~~$~~~$ for every dollar sign I
[21:10] <sugoiryu> hrm ty.. ima try a few things i found on net.. bbiab
[21:10] <ste123> enter. Any ideas?
[21:10] <bekks> sefio: Which doesnt make sudo more sane for graphical applications. Dont use it. Use gksudo instead.
[21:11] <rgb-one> sefio: Have you tried rebooting since getting that error?
[21:11] <sefio> so really nobody knows anything besides the hosts and hostname for solving this sudo error?
[21:11] <bekks> sefio: Did you try using another hostname rather than "pc"?
[21:12] <sefio> bekks: yes, before there was the same problem with another hostname
[21:13] <rgb-one> sefio: Have you rebooted since the change?
[21:13] <sefio> rgb-one: yes
[21:14] <rgb-one> sefio: press Ctrl+Alt+F1 then login
[21:15] <sefio> oh one thing
[21:15] <rgb-one> do you see username@pc:~$
[21:15] <sefio> both hosts and hostname have in the same dir a version with ~ in the end
[21:15] <sefio> hosts~
[21:15] <sefio> and hostname~
[21:15] <sefio> shall I delete those
[21:15] <rgb-one> sefio: no
[21:16] <rgb-one> sefio: those were the previous hostnames
[21:16] <rgb-one> sefio: those were the previous hostname and host file
[21:16] <sefio> well hostname has "pc"
[21:16] <rgb-one> sefio: open them and look at the content
[21:16] <sefio> while hosts~ has another name
[21:17] <rgb-one> sefio: hostname~ has pc?
[21:17] <sefio> hostname~ says pc and hosts~ says the previous name I ad
[21:17] <sefio> had
[21:17] <hkrrsx> sefio: Regarding your issue, read this:
[21:17] <hkrrsx> Replaced /etc/nsswitch.conf with new one from original install media  .... somehow my file at fault had somehow been stripped down to a single  line only of "hosts:  files" and was only 18 bytes ... the new  replacement is 19 lines and is 507 bytes.
[21:17] <hkrrsx> http://askubuntu.com/questions/439001/sudo-unable-to-resolve-host
[21:17] <gry> it would help if people stopped linking to various QA site and started talking about what needs to be done
[21:18] <gry> this way whoever is reading the chat doesn't have to keep clicking things, except for really good written long documentation
[21:19] <sefio> hkrrsx: yes I read another guy who also seemed to fix with nssconf...
[21:19] <hkrrsx> Does that resolve your issue?
[21:19] <sefio> hkrrsx: no
[21:19] <hkrrsx> Sorry .... I digress
[21:21] <sefio> why can't I erase hosts~ and hostname~
[21:21] <gry> now http://paste.ubuntu.com/10691558/ really works for me, but only after a reboot
[21:22] <archip> gry why are you mapping localhost to youtube?
[21:23] <gry> archip: to prevent some silly people here from using it (including me)
[21:23] <rypervenche> sefio: Are you using sudo?
[21:23] <sugoiryu> well booted normal kernel and used a usb keyboad to get in... the laptop kb n trackpad still dont work
[21:23] <archip> ahh makes sense
[21:23] <gry> (of course, it's not relevant to the question, only around the first 3 lines are meant to be relevant)
[21:24] <archip> I know was just curious
[21:24] <sefio> now I can't use sudo gedit anymore
[21:24] <sefio> what is the alternative?
[21:24] <sefio> gksudo?
[21:24] <gry> yes
[21:24] <rgb-one> gry: or vi
[21:25] <sefio> same error
[21:28] <sefio> I'll reboot
[21:28] <EriC^^> sefio, what are you trying to do?
[21:29] <gry> EriC^^: he is trying to set a computer name to something interesting. last thing he tried was "pc". he kept getting 'sudo: unable to resolve hostname 'pc'" error.
[21:30] <EriC^^> gry, oh ok
[21:31] <rgb-one> EriC^^: https://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eaRjttb2 is his hosts file
[21:31] <rgb-one> EriC^^: or it was earlier
[21:36] <sugoiryu> hrm
[21:36] <zikzia> I'm the guy withe the sudo problem, just rebooted, look now
[21:36] <zikzia> http://pastebin.com/cUCLGH6J
[21:37] <zikzia> by the way, this hostname was the original one when I first installed the system
[21:37] <bekks> zikzia: And you booted a CD before?
[21:38] <zikzia> bekks: cd? no I don't have no cd
[21:39] <_10b0> nano for text works nice too
[21:40] <zikzia> here's with the nssswitch added              http://pastebin.com/X8AAgC2L
[21:42] <bekks> zikzia: Change the "hosts: dns" to "hosts: files dns"
[21:42] <droidtux> k
[21:42] <droidtux> .
[21:44] <zikzia> bekks: oh yes!!!!
[21:44] <zikzia> actually I had a bkup of that file
[21:44] <zikzia> went back to the old version and it works
[21:44] <bekks> zikzia: So why did you mess with that file?
[21:45] <zikzia> that line I guess
[21:45] <zikzia> hosts: dns
[21:45] <bekks> zikzia: "< bekks> zikzia: Change the "hosts: dns" to "hosts: files dns"".
[21:45] <bekks> No guessing involved so far.
[21:45] <zikzia> bekks: naaa I changed it to this                                                hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[21:45] <zikzia> which is what I had in my backup
[21:46] <bekks> zikzia: And why did you change it to "hosts: dns" before?
[21:46] <zikzia> I don't remember!
[21:46] <bodhi_zazen> zikzia, #always leave a comment when editing system files
[21:46] <zikzia> for everybody: please remember when having this problem it could be hosts, hostname and also nsswitch.conf !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[21:47] <bekks> Or dont touch files when you dont remember why :P
[21:47] <zikzia> bekks: this is besides me, I've been here like 2 or 3 days now and nobody knew about nsswitch
[21:47] <zikzia> they keep on insisting on hosts and hostname
[21:48] <bekks> zikzia: Because those files are the actual issue at that point. The hostname cannot be resolved, and the error you've seen was thrown.
[21:48] <gry> zikzia: you're the guy who had this hosts problem half of an hour ago?
[21:48] <hkrrsx> I seem to recall mentioning /etc/nsswitch.conf to you 30 minutes ago and getting reamed by gry
[21:48] <mewtwo> hey guys... is it possible to reinstall ubuntu over an existing install but not lose any personal files?
[21:48] <bekks> gry: yes
[21:49] <oal> I have a fairly big folder (7GB) that I want to compress and encrypt, as I want to archive it off site. What tools do you recommend for that?
[21:49] <zikzia> gry: actually for days now, came here more than once asking about it
[21:50] <Opinie> zikzia, so what's the problem?
[21:50] <bekks> Opinie: The problem is solved now.
[21:50] <Opinie> oh, ok

[21:56] <gry> sugoiryu: ooh good
[21:56] <sugoiryu> yep! wonder what caused it to break though
[21:57] <gry> could dig in dmesg but I guess it's ok to forget about it as long as it doesn't happen again
[21:57] <sugoiryu> heh dmesg was 1st place i checked... then the X logs
[21:57] <sugoiryu> nothing out of ordinary.
[21:59] <csmule> After i restart the nfs server process, my client hangs. Is there a command to force a reconnect?

[22:13] <bodhi_zazen> hi gstvo , this is primarily a support channel, there are tons of social channels
[22:15] <Tin_man> i've a question, i've come from mint 17.1, and currently running ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. with mint i have a icon that when pressed it minimizes all open windows, and then when pressed again, it restores them, is there a similar way to do this with ubuntu?
[22:16] <gstvo> thx boyz, i will visit the vid support chanl
[22:17] <sheap> I'm trying to download packages from a ubuntu repo (ddeb.ubuntu.com), but I keep getting "tcp connection refused" that stops the download from completing.... any idea as to why this is happening?
[22:17] <EriC^^> Tin_man, super+d i think, hold the super button for a list of shortcuts
[22:17] <Tin_man> ok thanks much EriC^^
[22:20] <leslie> I have a completely blank screen after the grub selection screen. just that sort of dark purple background. Any idea what would cause that? I suspect invalid grub config but I don't know really
[22:21] <Tin_man> got it EriC^^ thanks..
[22:26] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | leslie Can ypu boot with this boot option ?
[22:26] <leslie>  I'll give that a go, thanks. one moment

[22:27] <leslie> I'm not sure why it's suddenly broken though. it was booting just fine yesterday
[22:27] <Aladiah> EriC^^  yes i have
[22:28] <Blueking> are there ways to make linux auto check have sense function to see if eth0 are online or not ?
[22:28] <Bashing-om> leslie: Update maybe broke the proprietary graphics driver ?
[22:29] <leslie> ah yeah, possibly. I was using the official nvidia drivers
[22:30] <Aladiah> EriC^^  could got to do with power management windows . . .
[22:33] <Aladiah> EriC^^  got a do with the fast start up of windows ? should be on or off , the fast boot of windows ?
[22:35] <Aladiah> i will enter with lubuntu live usb here ok EriC^^ ?
[22:41] <victor> hello
[22:51] <sponix> Anyone in here good with Hardware... Hard Drives, seem to have a Sata 3TB Seagate failing horribly...
[22:53] <sponix> Hard to believe there is 1,800+ people in this channel and they are _all_ idle !! *Grin*
[22:59] <Bashing-om> sponix: All we can advise is to run a SMART test. What results -> sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sdX <- where 'X' is a,b c ext. ...
[23:02] <natuzo> to use the vdpau decoder in vlc do I need a specific packet like vaapi or not?
[23:07] <ex0r> how do I set my 'default' monitor? Whenever I open a window it opens it in my secondary monitor
[23:08] <sponix> Bashing-om: Thanks for that Advice... Drive is encrypted, will change the process at all ??
[23:09] <ReScO> Anyone in here has an Asus N750JK?
[23:09] <gry> maybe someone does! what's the issue?
[23:10] <Bashing-om> sponix: Encryption does make for another level of compexity . I have no experience with encryption. Best I say nothing more.
[23:10] <sponix> Bashing-om: Well, at least it _started_ the test --> Please wait 335 minutes for test to complete. Test will complete after Fri Mar 27 23:44:36 2015
[23:10] <ReScO> gry, CPU's onboard GPU and the dedicated GPU don't work smoothly together
[23:11] <sponix> Bashing-om: odd, it told me before that I had 13,868 Bad Sectors ... This time firing up the system and mounting the drive it says I have "One Bad Sector"  *Grin*..
[23:12] <Bashing-om> sponix: I do expect the test routine to be smart enough to wotk in the encryption environmnet, and yeah that -t long is a long thorough test .
[23:12] <sponix> Bashing-om: Do know one thing for sure, I am avoiding Seagate in the future no matter what Deals they have !!
[23:12] <Bashing-om> wotk/work*
[23:13] <sponix> Bashing-om: All my WD's are from 2009 or older and running strong. This Seagate of course is just 2 weeks past the 2 year Warranty :P
[23:13] <Depalaciolemos> Boa noite! estou tendo probelamas pois instalei uns pacotes de educação o que fez meu ubuntu passar a apresentar-se como edubuntu. depois disso somado a atulização do sistema para o ubuntu 14.04 lts senti q ficou um pouco mais lento p iniciar. Alguem me ajuda a corrigir isso?
[23:13] <gry> ReScO: tell as much details as you can mentioning the laptop model and the isue (what do you mean don't work smoothly together) in one line, someone would pick it up. about to head out myself
[23:14] <sponix> Bashing-om: Wife just thinks it is funny because it is one of my main pr0n drives that is failing
[23:14] <LordFoobar> I have installed postgresql-9.4 and pgadmin3 from the default repositories (15.04-daily) but pgadmin3 is at version 1.18, which does not support PGSQL 9.4; how do I install the beta of pgadmin3 (1.20)?
[23:14] <Bashing-om> sponix: :) .. sad when that happens, 2 years is too soon to die, but it can and does happen . Let's see what the test reveals before passing judgement .
[23:16] <sponix> Bashing-om: Probably best... I did already post a nasty on NewEgg about it. And it turns out about 50% of Everyone with this drive is having similar .. Just seem to have gotten a Lemon
[23:17] <ReScO> i have a Asus N750JK with a Intel Core i7-4710HQ and a Nvidia GeForce GTX 850M GPU, i'm having trouble with the whole double GPU thing, i've tried bumblebee, latest drivers, etc
[23:18] <pl1x> how to change main screens in ubuntu 14.04?
[23:18] <daftykins> 'main screens' ?
[23:18] <ReScO> daftykins: i think he means the whole ctrl+alt+left and ctrl+alt+right
[23:19] <pl1x> daftykins: i have too, but videos in full screen getting played all the time on my second (smaller) notebook build-in screen
[23:19] <pl1x> ReScO: thanks, didn't knew about this feature haha
[23:20] <ReScO> pl1x: why on 14.04 though?
[23:21] <pl1x> ReScO: because that's the version i'm running
[23:22] <Agent_Smith1> i'm trying to find a cpu temp monitor and I tried using psensor but got an error upon following all of the steps listed here https://delightlylinux.wordpress.com/2014/06/21/psensor-temperature-monitor/
[23:23] <Agent_Smith1> got GConf Error: Type mismatch: Expected `bool' got `int' for key /apps/psensor/interface/window_decoration_disabled\
[23:23] <daftykins> pl1x: i think you highlighted the wrong person
[23:23] <Bashing-om> ReScO: That Nvidia card takes the 346 version driver. Not available in the 14.04/10 repo. Have you thougtt about the xorg-edgers/ppa and nvidia-prime ?
[23:24] <ReScO> Bashing-om: yep...
[23:25] <ReScO> i still had to log out to switch GPU
[23:37] <[Ex0r]> hmm, my ntfs drive cant be mounted unless its mounted in ro status... how can I make automount do that? I can't seem to find out where flags are set
[23:39] <vince_the_ponder>  it may be an error with the filesystem
[23:40] <vince_the_ponder> you should check it for errors or bad blocks (fsck and badblocks are the two commands that seem most appropriate)
[23:40] <[Ex0r]> It says its because it wasnt shut down properly
[23:40] <bathroom> feces
[23:40] <vince_the_ponder> is it a windows install, or just NTFS storage?
[23:40] <[Ex0r]> but.. if that's going to be an ongoing issue, i'd rather not deal with having to manually mount it every bootup. It's only used for reading from, so I don't mind forcing read-only on it
[23:40] <[Ex0r]> yes, a windows install
[23:41] <bathroom> bowel movement
[23:41] <vince_the_ponder> boot into windows and do a "scandisk" command in the command prompt
[23:41] <bathroom> defecate
[23:41] <[Ex0r]> vince_the_ponder, - I understand what to do, but if this is going to be an ongoing issue I don't want to keep dealing with having to manually mount because automount doesn't work
[23:41] <bathroom> shit
[23:42] <[Ex0r]> There should be no reason the disk got messed up, I booted in off of a restart
[23:42] <vince_the_ponder> Exor, windows has problems for no reason sometimes
[23:42] <[Ex0r]> I understand that, that's why i'd rather force automount to mount is as read only
[23:42] <vince_the_ponder> boot into windows and use the built-in tools to try to scan the disc / filesystem for errors
[23:42] <[Ex0r]> so that I can still access it in those circumstances.
[23:42] <bathroom> diarrhea
[23:42] <bathroom> manure
[23:42] <bathroom> crap
[23:43] <[Ex0r]> Since the drive, when accessible via linux, is only for reading
[23:43] <bathroom> stool sample
[23:43] <bathroom> meconium
[23:43] <bathroom> excrement
[23:43] <vince_the_ponder> edit your /etc/fstab file to automount read only then, and you're done
[23:44] <vince_the_ponder> the google should have information on how to do that, im not sure exactly what the flag is, but its an obvious one in name, remember you have to be root to edit this file
[23:44] <[Ex0r]> in terminal its -ro for read only
[23:44] <[Ex0r]> not sure what it is in fstab
[23:44] <vince_the_ponder> probably the same
[23:44] <bathroom> feces
[23:44] <bathroom> bowel movement
[23:44] <bathroom> defecate
[23:47] <mneuro> Hi I am interested in running Ubuntu 15.04 but I'm not sure if I should download a daily image or if there is a beta release that i should download.
[23:47] <vince_the_ponder> the beta should be unstable enough for daily use :-)
[23:48] <[Ex0r]> lol
[23:48] <mneuro> Whats the difference between the beta and the daily?
[23:48] <vince_the_ponder> beta was deemed good enough to package for dispersal, daily release is bleeding edge and may have new bugs (read features) introduced that are not yet addressed
[23:49] <mneuro> Does the beta get updated?
[23:49] <vince_the_ponder> yes
[23:49] <vince_the_ponder> mine gets updates about every 2-3 days
[23:49] <mneuro> Thanks a lot for the information
[23:49] <vince_the_ponder> =)
[23:53] <acz32> i didn't know ubuntu had a bleeding edge unstable version
