BlackDalekhmmm.. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the mac says it is "paired" with the ubuntu computer, but not "connected".. Perhaps sending files via bluetooth from mac to ubuntu is just impossible?00:03
avansledrightbluetooth is platform independent00:05
avansledrightas long as the devices are paired and connected it should be possible00:06
avansledrightquestion is why would you send files via bluetooth? are they not networked?00:06
BlackDalekavansledright, yeah... they are not currently networked. My ubuntu computer does not belong on here at this location where the mac is. Just thought bluetooth might be a quick way to transfer the files instead of connecting it temporarily to the network.00:08
BlackDalekavansledright, but not to worry. I just emailed it instead.00:08
avansledrightBlackDalek always a viable option00:09

daftykinsneldogz: no, not been true for years01:56
daftykinsused to be.01:57
uflaigdaftykins: ntfs, when I mount it by hand (sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 testfolder), it works01:57
daftykinsuflaig: ah ok, i wondered if it might not have been safely unmounted previous. no idea then01:57
uflaigmy issue is really just that it doesn't automount when I plug in this device via usb01:57
neldogzdaftykins: in the official Ubuntu book (8th edition) it states that the most significant diffrence between the two is the custom server kernel. This kernel employs an internal timer frequency of 100hz instead of the desktop default of 250hz and uses the deadline I/O scheduler instead of the desktop CFQ scheduler.. also states that it contains a batch of other minor tweaks for virtualization, memory support and routing01:58
AegNuddela few weeks ago I upgraded to percise, and this issue has been going on since the start01:59

ubottugimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.02:22
monk12in that thread i posted, it says ins in the 'mainline kernel since version 3.17... so since i have ubuntu 14.10, kernel 3.18.9, does that mean i should have MST support and no need to dl that kernel?02:22

" does that mean the 3.18 kernel  def would have that patch then?02:28
monk12eikon81g, ^02:28
AegNuddeldisagree about GIMP being LESS powerful.  So many plug-ins available.  If you literally installed them all (for which you would need an impossible amount of space) you'd have a pogram many times more capable than Photosh .. op (I was tempted to make those last two letters I T !)02:28

eikon81gmay need to log out and back in after making changes to graphics..02:29
eikon81gjust a thought02:29
cxdvtyhow do i play android games on my pc when most of them are for touch screen02:29
eikon81gsemitones, do you have a hardkey in the Fkeys that disable / enables it?02:30
eikon81gdoes it show up in hardinfo semitones ??02:30
eikon81gcxdvty, yet another learning experience.. let us know :P02:30
eikon81gsomeone else was having an issue with a track pad the other night semitones his drivers were not installed..02:31
semitoneseikon81g: I do, but that hardkey doesn't function properly in #ubuntu. What happens is, if my laptop is ever suspended for a significant amount of time, when it resumes, the trackpad is all screwy. The pointer doesn't move very far, sometimes it scrolls the screen when you try to move the pointer up or down, etc. Everything i've tried doesn't fix it, but after 5 or 10 minutes sometimes it goes back to normal. I've been watching /var/log/syslog th02:31
eikon81ghardinfo will tell you if it is detected and installed..02:31
semitonesoh my bad02:32
eikon81gsemitones, maybe you can bind a new key to function it?02:32
eikon81gthen once you suspend and come back to the machine you can just enable/disable..02:32
eikon81git's not the driver. . it's something else good info there..02:33
eikon81gI am a newbie so maybe someone else can chime in here too..02:33
eikon81gis it like a SUPER-F button that enables / disables the keyboard?02:33
semitoneseikon81g: I'm installing hardinfo now. The trackpad on/off button works in windows, but in ubuntu it just displays a notification, but doesn't do anything with the trackpad02:34
semitoneseikon81g: it's a separate button all by itself that turns red when the trackpad is off. In ubuntu, pressing it doesn't make it turn red02:34
eikon81ghumm when the issue pops up have you tried to enable/disable?02:34
eikon81gok ok02:34
eikon81ghumm02:34
semitoneseikon81g: I've tried modprobing it on and off, but that doesn't work02:35
eikon81gthen you are a step ahead of me..02:35
eikon81gso maybe you can make a script to disable and re-enable the driver when you resume?02:35
semitoneseikon81g: how do I find what the driver is?02:37
eikon81glook at this semitones02:37
eikon81ghttp://ubuntuguide.net/quickly-enabledisable-laptop-touchpad-with-touchpad-indicator-in-ubuntu-10-1002:37
eikon81gin the hardinfo program under devices > input devices02:38
eikon81gmine is a synaptic.. "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"02:38
semitoneseikon81g: I see input devices under general information (ALPS) but under input devices there's nothing02:38
eikon81ghumm is it working now?02:38
semitoneseikon81g: yes02:39
semitoneseikon81g: /var/log/syslog says the following (but it says this even when the trackpad is malfunctioning) Mar 31 22:20:24 linuxlaptop kernel: [23001.791637] input: ALPS PS/2 Device as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input2002:40

semitoneseikon81g: ok, yeah it looks like it works actually. It's funny.

avansledrightforward port 80 on your router to whatever port you have apache broadcasting on03:42
=== Yukkino is now known as Dhs92
zerowaitstateericb__: first of all, what's not resolving?03:47
zerowaitstateericb__: resolving usually refers to DNS. Is that the problem?03:48
AudacesWhats the difference between 14.04 and 14.10?03:49
ericb__zerowaitstate:i meant resolving generally. the server is connected fine. im just not able to access it when i type in my ip, even though the ports are set to forward to it, it's acting like they're not03:49
zerowaitstateericb__: what computer are you typing the IP from (one from your internal network, or one from the internet) ?03:49
zerowaitstateericb__: the reason i ask is because some NAT routers will not loop back their external interface address03:50
ericb__zerowaitstate: yep, tried nat loopback (not sure if I did it right,) but I cant access it from my mobile phone or my pc on the same network03:51
AudacesI don't seem to be getting an option to upgrade to 14.103:51
zerowaitstateericb__: can you access it from your phone on the carrier network?03:51
ericb__zerowaitstate: nope03:51
Christopher-Werei'll try that now farzeen03:52
zerowaitstateericb__: do you have the INPUT chain on iptables set to default deny?03:52
ericb__zerowaitstate: unless it is set as such by default no. ive got ufw installed but disabled. when i try to access my ip it shows a 404 page that is being sent from my router (it displayed before port forwarding)03:53
zerowaitstateericb__: are you able to access the site from your internal network via the private IP?03:54
ericb__zerowaitstate: yes03:54
zerowaitstateports.conf will not help you then. ports.conf controls what ports on the linux host apache listens on.  if you can access via internal network, then ports.conf is working03:55
zerowaitstateericb__: are you running virtual hosts in apache?03:55
ericb__zerowaitstate: kk thats what I was hoping. well it has to be something misconfigured in the router then right?03:55
ericb__zerowaitstate:  nope03:56
zerowaitstateokay, then I'm thinking it is the router03:56
zerowaitstateyou can run "tail -f" on the /var/log/apache2/access.log (I think that's right) to see incoming HTTP requests03:56
zerowaitstatethat should help you determine if stuff is actually hitting the box or not03:56
zerowaitstatealternatively run tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log to see malformed requests03:57
Christopher-WereThanks farzeen, that works03:57
zerowaitstateericb__: remember, if you are using standard port numbering, then port 80 is HTTP and 443 is HTTPS03:58

zerowaitstateericb__: are you accessing your site from port 80 or 443 in your tests?04:06

Any who, how can I make sure things are sync'd?04:15
zerowaitstateericb__: then the problem is in your router. your machine IS listening or port 80, or http:// would not work04:15
zerowaitstateericb__: unless you are typing some special port number in the url, as in http://blah.com:1567/04:16

iBrokeEverythingits posible to run borderlands1 goty on ubuntu with that winetricks etc,,, ? i have on win7 version steam ,,all my dlcs05:38
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: You should check out the winehq website. They have a database of apps with known states. If Borderlands can be run, it's probably in there.05:39
cfhowlett!steam | iBrokeEverything, see the steam site05:39
ubottuiBrokeEverything, see the steam site: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion.05:39
Enkidu_akAppl3Kork: Happy to help05:39
iBrokeEverythingyea yea guys steam actualy runs on my ubu but no borderlands game run linuxes05:40
iBrokeEverythingso there is that winetricks can i do it with dat?05:40
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: You can always install win32 steam05:40
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: Refer to that appdb that I was telling you about. If it can be done the instructions are probably there.05:41
iBrokeEverythingenkidu_ak like with wine?05:41
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: Yes05:41
iBrokeEverythingenkidu_ak and u are a gamer ? :D whats your experiences with ubu?05:42
iBrokeEverythingam new in this05:42
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: I'm not a gamer :(05:43
iBrokeEverythingenkidu_ak hows that?05:43
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: I don't generally play computer games. I don't have any particular problem with them, just that my interests lie elsewhere.05:44
iBrokeEverythingan this is an error when i start steam ,, but stem works                         OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.05:45
iBrokeEverythingFor more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-745705:45
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: And what did the article say?05:45
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: According to the article, Steam isn't able to use OpenGL. What video card are you using?05:47
iBrokeEverythingreinstaling driver will help bla bla bla05:47
iBrokeEverythingubu says this Gallium 0.4 on AMD ARUBA05:48
iBrokeEverythingbut its amd radeon hd 742005:49
doitwithusdoes anyone know how to make screen keep on raspberry pi? I try to play with settings it always goes off05:49
iBrokeEverythingits laptop05:49
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: It seems that you should follow the articles advice and re-install those drivers.05:50
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: I'm guessing that direct rendering is broken everywhere, not just for steam05:50
iBrokeEverythingenkidu_ak but am pretty lame in linux ,,my knowledge end by change wallpaper :D05:51
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: We all started somewhere.05:52
iBrokeEverythingenkidu_ak its not like windows click on driver uninstall and re install :D05:54
iBrokeEverythingshould be linux for not talented peoples05:55
Enkidu_akiBrokeEverything: I don't use any ATI cards, so I am not as familiar with the driver setup as others might be. I did find an article detailing performance issues with that card and Utopic. https://mwop.net/blog/2014-11-03-utopic-and-amd.html05:58

revisorHi, why does my Ubuntu VM installation add ".dev" to a ping request to non-existing domain? The same goes on with eg. gethostbyname('foo') in PHP. Where should I start looking? The VM is configured with a hostname "example.dev". Is it connected to this?08:52

revisorExample: Calling "ping foo" starts pinging "foo.dev". Why?08:55
=== nikis is now known as niek

neo1691_Hi guys, I want to understand exactly what happens when I use the network manager from the ubuntu panel to change the network profile? I have created some profiles for different network with different IPs.  Can I somehow trigger them from the command line or from python?09:06
neo1691_Basically I want to write a script to enable and disable proxy variables in /etc/environment and /etc/apt/apt.conf and change IP addresses/DHCP based on the network I am on.09:07
neo1691_If I change the profile from the network manager applet on the status bar, I see no change in /etc/network/interfaces. I want to know which files exactly do they write? So that I can manually write them using  python09:10
h0ddH3dneo1691_: check nmcli09:11
carl__that's because network manager is in unmanaged mode by default, meaning that it handles interfaces with its own files instead of /etc/network/interfaces09:12
neo1691_h0ddH3d: Thanks!! carl__ just a question. Will nmcli or any other tool like wicd use the profiles from networkmanger or will I need to create new profiles for nmcli/wicd ?09:13
bekksneo1691_: nmcli is the command line utilty of NetworkManager.09:13
bekksneo1691_: So it uses the NetworkManager profiles.09:13
carl__yep, nmcli should use the same files as network manager09:14
carl__wicd probably won't, though09:14
neo1691_bekks: carl__ Thanks a lot.09:15
carl__i think you can set network manager mode by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, if you want it to use /etc/network/interfaces, but i can't be sure09:15

neo1691_nmcli doesn't seem to be a part of ubuntu 12.04 official repositories?09:19

h0ddH3dhere*09:21
Pantsuyou don't want my patches09:21
Pantsuunless you want to torture someone09:21
bekksneo1691_: the package "network-manager" contains it.09:21
neo1691_Pantsu: Ah my bad. It's already there. I ran apt-cache show nmcli and apt-cache search nmcli which returned nothing. This tool should solve my issue09:22
neo1691_thanks bekks :)09:22

systemd0wnQuestion, running 14.04 Desktop and IPv6 is murderously slow when surfing the internet. Disabling it in sysctl seems to only be temporary because it just turns back on. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this so I can keep IPv6? (assuming anyone is awake to answer)12:57
einyxsystemd0wn, ipv6 being slowly is probably because of your isp, not ubuntu itself12:58
k1l_Xavinyo: ubuntu uses batched discard since 14.04 but i dont know how lvm comes into that setting12:59
lyzeohai13:00
Xavinyok1l_ lvm needs to pass discard signals to the underlying physical drives.. since I have to ssds in a logical volume i need to set things in lvm.conf13:01
f0086hi13:01
Xavinyok1l_, I made a pastebin for informative outputs:  http://codepad.org/ShGHNhcA13:02
f0086Is there a other mapping between unix gid/uid and the actual name than /etc/passwd?13:02
f0086On my system there is a user/group I can't find in /etc/passwd13:03
bekksf0086: no.13:03
k1l_Xavinyo: ok, but i dont know about lvm trim setup. sorry13:03
bekksf0086: Which user/group do you see there?13:03
k1l_Xavinyo: if no one in here knows maybe try to ask on askubuntu.com or the ubuntuforums13:03
bekksXavinyo: are you running fstrim as root?13:04
f0086bekks: I use froxlor which will create this user/groups ... but there are not in /etc/passwd13:04
gautam__Why gedit/firefox is opening on server side, not on client side. When I have ssh into server from client side with -X option13:04
f0086bekks: I can't find the place where these names are defined13:04
bekksf0086: Whats "froxlor2?13:05
bekksf0086: froxlor even.13:05
Xavinyobekks, yes13:05
f0086bekks: a web tool to manage hosting stuff13:05
f0086bekks: It does not matter13:05
bekksf0086: So thats a good question for their support then.13:05
bekksf0086: It does matter, of course.13:05
f0086bekks: It is a basic linux/unix question: Where can I find the mechanism which will translate the gid/uid into names? I thought /etc/passwd is the only place but there must be a other place13:06
bekksf0086: Ask the froxlor support where they are doing things like that.13:07
bekksf0086: It is a basix product support question.13:07
cq-auxhi13:08
cq-auxdoes anyone want to skype-chat?13:08
f0086Ok, I will ask a completely other question: If I want wot mount an external NFS share, How can I use the gid/uid names from an external source (the nfs server) and not do a copy/paste of the /etc/passwd file?13:09
bekksf0086: Withou specifying any uid/gid, the numerical values from the source (the nfs server) are in effect.13:09
k1l_cq-aux: this is technical support only. better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat13:10
cq-auxk13:10
f0086bekks: where can I specify the gid/uid mapping?13:11
systemd0wneinyx, I'd like to determine what about it is so slow. Any suggestions? I added Googles IPv6 DNS servers which didn't seem to change anything.13:12
bekksf0086: In the mount command.13:12
bekksf0086: you can specify which uid/gid the external uid/gid should be maped to.13:12
einyxsystemd0wn, is hard to tell, maybe with a traceroute you can see if there is some hop from which the connection start to slow down13:13
systemd0wnI just tried ipv6-test.com/speedtest to compare and it says I'm getting nearly 26Mbps on both.13:14
systemd0wneinyx: I'll do some tinkering. In the meantime do you know how I can disable IPv6 in the network manager? I know I can specify to disable it at boot but I'd rather not.13:15
einyxsystemd0wn, errr i think if you go into network settings -> wired -> options you can say "ignore"13:17
einyxor something like that :D13:17
systemd0wneinyx: I appreciate the help. But ignore doesn't seem to do it.13:22
kokutHello, how do you check your brightness settings from the terminal?13:34
einyxsystemd0wn, lol13:35
pbxkokut, xbacklight is what i use13:35
einyxsystemd0wn, check under /proc13:36
einyxyou should be able to echo under proc on a file called disable_ipv613:37
fuffyHello. Which linux can I use on a Pentium 3 with 120MB RAM? I just need a web browser in there.13:37
pbxkokut, it lets you control the level too. e.g.  http://dpaste.com/3XZJW5613:37
MonkeyDustfuffy  try lubuntu13:37
fuffyMonkeyDust: lubuntu needs to much ram13:37
MonkeyDustfuffy  it's the "lightest", maybe look for an ever lighter distro13:38
k1l_fuffy: you could try a minimal install and see whats working for you. but i think with a that old device you want some of the really small distros13:39
fuffyMonkeyDust: it may be the lightest ubuntu13:39
kokutpbx: nice, i dontk now why but when i turn on my laptop after unpluggin the external monitor it lowers my brightness and the GUI to change it from ubuntu is bugged, i set it to the max and it goes to 80% so i have to set it up myself13:39
pbxkokut, yeah, there are ways to manage brightness automatically depending on power state but i haven't found any simple enough for my liking. so i have simple shell aliases that use xbacklight13:41
MonkeyDustfuffy  or what k1l_ says, the minimal install and install just what you need13:42
fuffyMonkeyDust: do you know of any web browser who can display images but doesnt need X?13:43
PierreBitantLynx ?13:44
hkrrsxfuffy: w3m text browser in xterm will show images13:45

Agent86hi ubuntu, I have a   .py file that I transfer via local network to another ubuntu computer. But the .py file is permission locked when it gets to the other computer. I can't run the .py script and cannot unlock the permissions15:07
Agent86The file starts out as chmod 777 so it's unlocked why would it lock on the other side ?15:07
Agent86and cannot be unlocked via terminal ?15:07
somsipAgent86: how do you transfer it?15:08
Agent86I copy and past to the shared folder on the other computer, I do it from the source computer, to the target15:08
Agent86in other words I'm at the source computer, and copy to the target15:09
mcphailAgent86: if you are sharing over samba, I don't think that respects the original file permissions15:09
Agent86should I be at the target computer and copy from source15:09
bekksAgent86: How exactly do you copy the file?15:09
Agent86well they are both ubuntu computers and  I don't believe I'm using samba just the browse network feature of ubuntu to the shared folder15:10
Agent86copy and paste and I have no noticed this before for some reason it seems to be only .py files I can copy a .mp3 just fine and change permissions on the file all I want15:11
bekksCopy and paste from where to where?15:11
Agent86ahhhh I think I figured out, I had geany open and was editing it, so when I copied the file it was already open15:12

mchelen1agrippaz, same problem here, are you using unity?16:50
agrippazmchelen1: i believe so? 14.04 clean install16:50
agrippazi have problems with menu bars too small, font size too big for places like the control panel16:51
mchelen1agrippaz, the system wide scaling is not just for fonts/text16:51
agrippazmy cursor size changes drastically depending on which app i'm in16:51

mchelen1agrippaz, i have a lenovo x1 carbon, 2560x144016:56

Guest2072814.04 has it built in AFAIK19:12
azizLIGHTi am on 14.0419:12

azizLIGHThow do i verify it active?19:12

azizLIGHTi like suspend, but i will move it to hdd, like Guest20728 said19:19

Traintopshould I do so?20:50
TraintopI think no... -as I am wondering where this "screensaver-button" binding comes from...20:50

Traintopif it's of interest: the same problem goes with all the tablet-buttons: the onscreen-keyboard-button is used as "toggle touchpad on/off"20:51

mchelen1Traintop, yah if you are running on a tablet it might be worth investigating21:02
mchelen1Traintop, or consider upgrading to 14.0421:02

NGC3982Hi. I use album today, and i notice that it does not seem to update itself when i add new pictures to it. Is this configurable? I can't seem to find anything regarding it in the manual.21:06
mchelen1Traintop, can always try a liveusb and see21:06
Traintopbut to bring back another idea: even in coompizconfig when I "bind" the button to the script, compizconfig names the key "XFree86ToggleTouchpad" this has to come from somewhere... -any ideas?21:06
mchelen1Traintop, that just sounds like the system id for the button21:07
Traintopbekks: asides from trying to get this working in ubuntu I am in parallel building a linux-from-scratch so I know exactly where something is defined and configured... -but that's another story :-)21:08

=== bill is now known as Guest99368
Traintopmchelen1: do you eventually know where these are defined in ubuntu... -so I could look there for a solution?21:09
mchelen1Traintop, you can probably find the definition somewhere in the source code, but i don't think thats what you want21:10
mchelen1Traintop, the name doesn't matter except that its bound to some action somewhere21:10
Traintopmchelen1: no :-) -I rather thought of a file where these definitions are done while booting or so...21:11
mchelen1Traintop, those aren't necessarily text files21:11
mchelen1they can be compiled binaries21:11
Traintopwhat I think is funny, my laptop doesn't even have a touchpad, but ubuntu installs this keybinding even with notifier-icon and so on... :-)21:11
mchelen1Traintop, its possible the touchscreen itself is treated as a touchpad21:12
Traintopmchelen1: the "touchscreen" with the stylus is used as a wacom-graphics-tablet and the finger-touch is something in X (don't exactly know atm what it's called, but it's different to a touchpad21:14

Guest21477Jordan_U: it is a brand new installation22:47
nrml1anyone know off-hand what the latest kernel is for 10.04?22:48
Guest21477Jordan_U: 13.10 was giving me problems in regards to my graphics card, and after upgrading to 14.04 grub ceased to work after the first restart22:48
Jordan_UGuest21477: I need to leave now, but have someone walk you through checking the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status. Iff it shows that the drive is not failing, then have someone walk you through running fsck on /dev/sda1. The fsck might end up fixing the filesystem by deleting /boot/grub/grub.cfg, in which case you'll need to recreate it. But it's also possible that running fsck alone will fix everything and you will be able to ...22:50
Jordan_U... boot again.22:50
Guest21477Jordan_U: okay, thanks22:50
Jordan_UGuest21477: You're welcome. Good luck.22:50

Guest21477 blackflow: yes22:56
blackflowGuest21477: use cryptsetup with luksOpen command to create a block device, then you mount that block device22:57

=== Crazy_Atheist is now known as ZeeNoodleyGamer
Guest21477blackflow:  how does one go about that?23:10
blackflowGuest21477: by using vgchange command to -a(ctivate) the volume group. see vgchange man. and if you don't know the name of the volume group, vgscan would scan your physical volumes and name them23:11
r0xwhy archlinux is so popular here?23:16
blackflowwhere?23:16
r0xfreenode23:16
Guest21477Probably because it's a much more vanilla version of Linux that's very adaptable and lightweight?23:17
