[00:03] hmmm.. 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? [00:05] bluetooth is platform independent [00:06] as long as the devices are paired and connected it should be possible [00:06] question is why would you send files via bluetooth? are they not networked? [00:08] avansledright, 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] avansledright, but not to worry. I just emailed it instead.

[01:56] neldogz: no, not been true for years [01:57] used to be. [01:57] daftykins: ntfs, when I mount it by hand (sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 testfolder), it works [01:57] uflaig: ah ok, i wondered if it might not have been safely unmounted previous. no idea then [01:57] my issue is really just that it doesn't automount when I plug in this device via usb [01:58] daftykins: 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 routing [01:59] a few weeks ago I upgraded to percise, and this issue has been going on since the start [01:59] neldogz: mmhmm, out of date book ;) [02:00] * AegNuddel wonders if there is any way to copy the info in the crash log [02:00] daftykins: this isthe most recent book covering Ubuntu 14, published last year [02:01] !pasebinit | Audaces [02:01] neldogz: unless it's referring to the low latency kernel, it's wrong [02:01] how difficult would it be to install ubuntu to a btrfs subvolume?

[02:02] neldogz: *sigh* but i'm the one joining the dots suggesting that's what they might mean, *BUT* server does not use the LL kernel by default.

I believe to look into the issue manually you need to use a debugger [02:04] AegNuddel: use a pastebin, or take a screenshot and use that in an image pastebin if it's a GUI window [02:04] daftykins: the manual ? [02:04] yes a gui window [02:04] sounds a bit basic come to think of it [02:04] anyway i'm off o/ [02:04] may take a few to get all info lol [02:04] later daftykins [02:05] !paste | AegNuddel [02:05] AegNuddel: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[02:08] daftykins: its in the book and the manual [02:08] technically you could try to install ntpd from the software center but I think I hit a hitch doing that as well so I stuck with manual settings and just check it periodically to make sure it's staying up to date.. [02:09] For instance if your time resets everytime you power down then you may need to change out your cmos battery on the MoBo [02:09] neldogz: because i don't interpret that sentence the same as you - and they're the *exact* same package on both desktop and server :) [02:09] now i am off [02:10] er trying to find it [02:10] daftykins: while it might be the same package.. it is modified [02:10] no you don't understand, but i'm done now :) [02:10] er trying to find itwhere do I look for that info again?

When I resume from suspend, the trackpad behaves erratically. It's acting this way right now. Can I have someone's assistance in troubleshooting? [02:22] cxdvty, use gimp! [02:22] !gimp [02:22] gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. [02:22] in 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? [02:23] is gimp easy to use and as advanced as photoshop? [02:23] aeg if it stays then you may be good on the battery [02:24] one it's set in the BIOS and you set your time/date and region it should stay on your machine.. is it like losing or gaining an hour? [02:24] cxdvty, photoshop is not that easy, gimp is less powerfull [02:24] eikon81g, whoops meant to address my comment to you. using nvidia-346. and not the Intel graphics (could use prime-switch to switch to Intel if MST support is better on Intel) [02:24] but gimp is free and you wont have to break the law to use it.. [02:24] eikon81g, no... it even update for daylight savings time right [02:25] so you are just wanting to use ntp? [02:25] eikon81g, I'm just wanting the error to disappear! [02:26] monk12, that is a good question, I am no expert but I would say that google may lead you in the right direction with that.. I wouldn't know which is better but if one is not working you could always try the other, ya know..? [02:26] lol AegNuddel, ocd much...? [02:26] what do you do for fun on ubuntu lol [02:26] jk did you try to install ntp from terminal? [02:26] cxdvty, learn.. [02:27] what do you do for fun on Windows? Why is the sky blue..? [02:27] lol [02:28] I just like learning, I am really well equipped on windows but I am enjoying linux and learning more every day [02:28] yah. i was just wondering based on that wording on that page (posted the wrong one: http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/thinkpad-ultradock-screens.htm )... "[the kernel patches] are integrated in the mainline kernel since version 3.17 . " does that mean the 3.18 kernel def would have that patch then? [02:28] eikon81g, ^ [02:28] disagree 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] monk12, yea, no need to add them manually.. [02:28] skateboarding games on ubuntu? [02:28] eikon81g, just gets annoying at times [02:28] lol AegNuddel [02:29] eikon81g, darn k. still not working. let me try switching to the Intel graphics driver and retrying it. thanks eikon81g [02:29] cxdvty, get genymotion and play some android apks [02:29] np [02:29] Let me try asking in a different way -- anyone know how to ask my laptop to redetect the trackpad? [02:29] may need to log out and back in after making changes to graphics.. [02:29] just a thought [02:29] how do i play android games on my pc when most of them are for touch screen [02:30] semitones, do you have a hardkey in the Fkeys that disable / enables it? [02:30] does it show up in hardinfo semitones ?? [02:30] cxdvty, yet another learning experience.. let us know :P [02:31] someone else was having an issue with a track pad the other night semitones his drivers were not installed.. [02:31] eikon81g: 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 th [02:31] hardinfo will tell you if it is detected and installed.. [02:32] oh my bad [02:32] semitones, maybe you can bind a new key to function it? [02:32] then once you suspend and come back to the machine you can just enable/disable.. [02:33] it's not the driver. . it's something else good info there.. [02:33] I am a newbie so maybe someone else can chime in here too.. [02:33] is it like a SUPER-F button that enables / disables the keyboard? [02:34] eikon81g: 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 trackpad [02:34] eikon81g: 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 red [02:34] humm when the issue pops up have you tried to enable/disable? [02:34] ok ok [02:34] humm [02:35] eikon81g: I've tried modprobing it on and off, but that doesn't work [02:35] then you are a step ahead of me.. [02:35] so maybe you can make a script to disable and re-enable the driver when you resume? [02:37] eikon81g: how do I find what the driver is? [02:37] look at this semitones [02:37] http://ubuntuguide.net/quickly-enabledisable-laptop-touchpad-with-touchpad-indicator-in-ubuntu-10-10 [02:38] in the hardinfo program under devices > input devices [02:38] mine is a synaptic.. "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" [02:38] eikon81g: I see input devices under general information (ALPS) but under input devices there's nothing [02:38] humm is it working now? [02:39] eikon81g: yes [02:40] eikon81g: /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/input20 [02:40] Mar 31 22:20:24 linuxlaptop kernel: [23001.822063] input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input19 [02:40] ok [02:40] so it looks like it's atleast recognized.. [02:41] did you see that trackpad indicator that they were using on the link I posted? [02:41] I wonder if using something like that would make it quit bugging out..? === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [02:42] it's from a ppa couldn't hurt to try if you want..? [02:42] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao [02:42] sudo apt-get update [02:42] sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator [02:43] argh === apt-get is now known as Aeiortv [02:43] lol whoops. [02:43] if that works then it trumps the script [02:44] hi! I'm using a 15Gb partition for / and now with almost everything installed i still have 10 free GB, i still need to install some stuff (cinelerra for example) and I'm afraid of running out of spaces... Should it get a bigger partition? [02:44] viGtor_, the saying goes, bigger is better.. LOL [02:45] fresh install is what is killing me :( [02:45] i have an 8 GB free partition, could i merge both? [02:45] without reinstallin i mean [02:45] did you install with VMS [02:45] ? [02:45] no idea :S [02:46] it was an option when I installed that supposedly made changing partition sizes easier [02:46] i think it was VMS. smh. [02:46] i choose a custom partition table so i guess i don't [02:47] viGtor_, it was LVM!! lol I am out of it.. === danmo98 is now known as shark [02:47] no i don't [02:47] look here..http://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions/ [02:48] so 15 GB is not enough [02:48] I mean for me.. no [02:48] eikon81g: I saw the trackpad indicator but noticed that it's not updated for 14.04? [02:48] but if you have a decent sized external drive then you could prolly make it work just clean up after updates and installs.. [02:49] this is on that page: Touchpad indicator is developed by atareao team, available in the PPA for Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 12.04. [02:49] is it missing from the PPA? [02:52] What's the ubuntu chan to talk about off topic stuff? [02:52] nmatrix9: #ubuntu-offtopic [02:53] !off-topic [02:53] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:53] Thanks [02:58] eikon81g: ok, yeah it looks like it works actually. It's funny. In the preferences, none of the preferences do anything, but it did succeed in turning off my trackpad (i had to kill it via terminal, then modprobe psmouse to get it back :) So we'll see if it works next time I get the suspend problem [02:59] humm sounds liek you have a good handle on it, you are more talented than I.. glad I could atleast point you in a direction.. :P [03:00] eikon81g: I don't know really :p i've just been bashing myself at this problem for longer :) [03:01] eikon81g: this program won't work actually I think -- it's "keyboard shortcut" feature for enabling and disabling the trackpad won't actually do anything [03:01] lol, I am new to linux but it made sense in my head what needed to be done. glad you have a suitable fix for now.. [03:01] eikon81g: do you know if there's any way to see what the program is doing when it does it? [03:02] bummer. yea, killing and modprobing sounds like the way to go.. === captpicard is now known as captainpicard [03:02] that's a good question too.. i really don't [03:03] let me ask someone.. [03:03] what program was it again? === azharh_ is now known as azharh [03:03] the name of it..? [03:04] Ubuntu's deal with Amazon is back on, check it out. Amazon just uploaded a video about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ [03:04] the indicator right? [03:05] too bad, I thought you were gonna rick roll us Aeiortv [03:05] oh wait. [03:05] Aeiortv, So why you want to share with us? [03:05] april fools <3 [03:05] TikiTika, what day is today? [03:05] Aeiortv: not here please [03:05] cfhowlett, April 1st [03:05] Fool day [03:05] !off-topic [03:05] sorry ben64 [03:05] lol [03:06] Screen turns off watching flash video [03:06] I gotta jet guys good luck. later semitones [03:06] !flash [03:06] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:08] eikon81g: it's installed. Screen turns off watching flash movies. [03:08] screen turns off how, like screensaver? [03:08] I get this error when executing some programs in ubuntu. What does this mean? "ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 18995, errno = 11" [03:08] this is good.. [03:09] Ben64 yes [03:09] ok so turn off the screensaver or set it longer or something [03:10] deleting ~/.ICEAuthority fixed it :) [03:10] farzeen: be more careful what you use sudo for [03:11] Ben64: that's bummed [03:11] farzeen, I was reading that on another page.. your issue was intriguing [03:11] how can I tell what version of a package (libleveldb-dev) I installed with apt-get? [03:12] that was someone else's workaround as well [03:12] thomasha`: apt-cache policy [03:12] !synaptic [03:12] thx [03:12] A Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [03:12] night all [03:13] thanks Ben64. do you know what might have caused that issue? [03:13] farzeen: yes, improper usage of sudo, which is why i said be more careful [03:14] like what? [03:14] using it with graphical programs [03:14] does anyone know why this sed '/chmod=0700/a chown=rtorrent:rtorrent' /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf command dont work? [03:14] am i missing quotes? [03:14] I use sudo with gedit to edit config files [03:15] wiak: sed -i 's/pattern/changed' file [03:15] !gksudo | farzeen [03:15] farzeen: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:15] farzeen: use nano maybe [03:16] thanks Ben64, somsip [03:19] somsip sed -i '/chmod=0700/a chown=rtorrent:rtorrent' /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf [03:19] taht works bettere [03:19] :p [03:20] wiak: I'm surprised it works at all without 's/...' but there you go [03:22] Hi, I was wondering if you could help me. I looked on the Lubuntu IRC but nobody could fix it. I'm trying to get Lubuntu running on a VirtualBox VM and after install it's stuck in an 640x480 resolution. I've tried installing the Guest addons but that hasn't solved the problem [03:23] try this command "xrandr -s 800x600" [03:24] or you may try typing 'lxrandr' (without quotes) in a terminal, Christophere-Were [03:25] *Chritopher-Were [03:25] *Christopher-Were [03:25] !tab| farzeen [03:25] farzeen: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:25] wow! thanks somsip [03:25] Does anyone have experience mounting AFP shares using dolphin ? [03:26] "Size not found in available modules" [03:26] oops! [03:27] Christopher-Were, type xrandr only without any args and pastebin the output [03:29] http://pastebin.com/esL4grdH [03:29] did you say there was an alternate program to ntp? === gerald is now known as Guest77970 [03:30] Christopher-Were, are you using the latest virtualbox? [03:31] Christopher-Were, not sure about VBOX, but KVM + spice rocks [03:31] It says I'm running the latest version. I've tried KVM on Quemu and I'm not impressed [03:32] hmm.. could you post the vbox and lubuntu version here [03:33] It Lubuntu 15.04 beta and Virtualbox is 4.3.26 [03:33] you need to head over to #ubuntu+1 for support with 15.04 [03:34] i suspect that the beta version has broken support for virtual box display drivers :( [03:35] I've got a lamp server running, and need help with port forwarding to view the server over the internet. Got a static IP, forwarded listening ports in my router, but it's not resolving to the lamp server. Read something about /etc/apache2/ports.conf and I don't know what to do with this. Anyone have any suggestions? [03:35] Christopher-Were, http://askubuntu.com/questions/12578/adjusting-display-geometry-in-a-virtual-machine === Aeiortv is now known as Aeiortv`goodnigh === Aeiortv`goodnigh is now known as Aieortv`sleep [03:39] Christopher-Were, try sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-x11 [03:42] I've got a lamp server running, and need help with port forwarding to view the server over the internet. Got a static IP, forwarded listening ports in my router, but it's not resolving to the lamp server. Read something about /etc/apache2/ports.conf and I don't know what to do with this. Anyone have any suggestions? [03:42] forward port 80 on your router to whatever port you have apache broadcasting on === Yukkino is now known as Dhs92 [03:47] ericb__: first of all, what's not resolving? [03:48] ericb__: resolving usually refers to DNS. Is that the problem? [03:49] Whats the difference between 14.04 and 14.10? [03:49] 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 not [03:49] ericb__: what computer are you typing the IP from (one from your internal network, or one from the internet) ? [03:50] ericb__: the reason i ask is because some NAT routers will not loop back their external interface address [03:51] 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 network [03:51] I don't seem to be getting an option to upgrade to 14.1 [03:51] ericb__: can you access it from your phone on the carrier network? [03:51] zerowaitstate: nope [03:52] i'll try that now farzeen [03:52] ericb__: do you have the INPUT chain on iptables set to default deny? [03:53] 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) [03:54] ericb__: are you able to access the site from your internal network via the private IP? [03:54] zerowaitstate: yes [03:55] ports.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 working [03:55] ericb__: are you running virtual hosts in apache? [03:55] zerowaitstate: kk thats what I was hoping. well it has to be something misconfigured in the router then right? [03:56] zerowaitstate: nope [03:56] okay, then I'm thinking it is the router [03:56] you can run "tail -f" on the /var/log/apache2/access.log (I think that's right) to see incoming HTTP requests [03:56] that should help you determine if stuff is actually hitting the box or not [03:57] alternatively run tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log to see malformed requests [03:57] Thanks farzeen, that works [03:58] ericb__: remember, if you are using standard port numbering, then port 80 is HTTP and 443 is HTTPS [03:58] woah, what?! Suddenly, my /filesystem partition is completely full ... AND I have some kind of "overflow" partition active. What the hey? Where do I look to fix this? [03:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10716394/ [04:01] cfhowlett: Sudden equals look at logs, no ? [04:02] Bashing-om, yeah, just trying to locate which log is relevant [04:02] /var/log/syslog [04:02] zerowaitstate, thank you. reading ... [04:03] cfhowlett: cd /var/log ->> sudo du -sx * | sort -n . see which is so large . [04:03] zerowaitstate: nothing in the error log. i noticed that the ports.conf file said 80 and 443 in a couple of places. i checked what ports are listening and 80 was not listed but 443 was [04:06] ericb__: are you accessing your site from port 80 or 443 in your tests? [04:06] i.e., are you using HTTP or HTTPS? [04:06] Bashing-om, found it, last entry = a 4 gb! log [04:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10716394/ [04:07] that's the same pastebin [04:07] zerowaitstate: im not sure, ive configured both to forward. do you mean using the private ip? how can I determine what port it is successfully accessing it through? [04:08] eric did you use http:// or https:// in your browser? is there a lock icon...? [04:08] what is the output of a2ensite? === RedRat_ is now known as RedRat [04:11] zerowaitstate: originally tried http:// and just tried https and got "secure connection failed: improperly formated der-encoded message" also i don't know what a2ensite is [04:11] a2ensite / a2dissite are commands in ubuntu for enabling / disabling particular sites within your apache config [04:12] on debian systems (like ubuntu), the sites which are enabled in apache are symlinked in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled [04:12] cfhowlett: :) now to find out what is causing the system to scream and holler so .. I be look'n . [04:13] zerowaitstate: a2ensite output is "Your choices are: default default-ssl which do you want to enable" [04:13] ericb__: a2ensite default [04:13] ericb__: you may have to do that as sudo [04:14] zerowaitstate: default already enabled [04:14] when connecting via your local network, you're using http:// right? and it's working? [04:15] yeah [04:15] Hello. I have EC2 ubuntu machines (that write to a single db) all giving me different times when I type date (off by 27 seconds or so) and it's screwing up my ordering of writes because I get system time from Java code and persist it with mongodb. Any who, how can I make sure things are sync'd? [04:15] ericb__: then the problem is in your router. your machine IS listening or port 80, or http:// would not work [04:16] ericb__: unless you are typing some special port number in the url, as in http://blah.com:1567/ [04:17] zerowaitstate: ok gotcha, ill have to mess around with the router some more. well thank you for helping me :D [04:17] tpayne: sudo apt-get install ntp [04:17] HI All, I have for some reason lost the ability to [Alt]-[Tab] to switch tasks and also only have one desktop. It worked before I shutdown yesterday and now I don't have it (and I don't remember turning them off). I am running 14.04 and the Cairo dock (if that makes any difference) [04:17] zerowaitstate: and that's it? [04:17] tpayne: if you're wanting times synced on the various boxes, they need to be running ntp [04:18] why sin't this done out of the box? [04:18] tpayne: i don't know [04:18] hehe, ok thanks [04:18] tpayne: the time differences will take a bit to settle; ntp slews the clock based on historical sampling, and virtualization monkeys with that a bit [04:19] yeah i just installed it, and they're still off by about 1 minute [04:19] so i guess i'll check back in the morning? I didn't reboot or anything I just literally did sudo apt-get install ntp [04:19] on all 3 machines... [04:20] take it easy zerowaitstate thanks again! [04:21] tpayne: stop the ntp service, then run "sudo ntpd -gq", then restart ntp service [04:21] tpayne: that should force a quick update [04:22] thanks [04:22] trying that now [04:22] tpayne: then, once ntp service is running, it will correct for future clock skew [04:22] What is the package for .wav decoder on ubuntu server? [04:24] tpayne: you can also run ntpq and use the "peers" command to find out the status of the synchronization [04:25] zerowaitstate: it's all sync'd up now!! [04:25] beautiful, thanks so much [04:26] tpayne: no problem [04:27] What is the package for .wav decoder on ubuntu server? [04:27] Bashing-om, thanks. I deleted the log. the guvcview camera was triggering something on each boot for quite some now. [04:31] cfhowlett: Great. Panic not. Just proceed in a calm and orderly fashion. Find out the why of the trigger , huh ? [04:31] Bashing-om, I THINK I might have experimented with screen recording on guvc ... [04:32] cfhowlett: lol, I recall the time I thought. I had to RE-install . [04:33] Bashing-om, *shudders* ... [04:33] cfhowlett: Not all bad. I did learn . Good backups ! [04:34] Bashing-om, for certain! [04:35] Bashing-om, thank you so much! I've found it near impossible to find local like minded linux users much less support here in Beijing. [04:39] when I 'avconv -f pulse -i ....' I get Unknown input format: 'pulse'. Someone knows how to fix that? [04:40] cfhowlett: Well... try the backwoods of Arkansas . Thank goodness for IRC and the forums ... Taught me all I have been able to learn to this time . ( and the want to know) [04:40] muka, pulse is not a codec. [04:40] Bashing-om, arkansas? nice. === Rahul is now known as Guest20275 [04:41] No LUGs in the Arkansas hills? [04:42] Enkidu_ak: None that I am aware of ( or have hunted up) think about starting one up . [04:43] You are welcome to join AkLUG. Most people can't seem to tell the difference between AK and AR anyway. :D [04:43] I have a set of logitech wireless headphones, with the logitech USB dongle. They mostly work fine, but every now and then I get no sound out of them, even if I have sound settings up and the headphones are selected and it's showing sound going out on them. [04:43] Sometimes it comes back after a reboot. [04:43] Anybody have any idea? [04:44] muka, pulse IS a format though. I don't use avconv enough to give detailed advice. #opensourcemusicians or avconv irc would know more [04:44] Enkidu_ak: Well. It is a thought, but that commute would be daunting . [04:44] cfhowlett, thank you === badon_ is now known as badon [04:45] Bashing-om: We used to meet, years ago. Most of the members went off to other places, though. Now it's just a mailing list, but a lively one. [04:45] I think we have more members out of state than we do in state. [04:47] Enkidu_ak: Welcome to the WWW :) ..

But need feedback, does anyone want to help? [05:29] lol is anyone online, or just everyone watching netflix and forget irc on [05:30] doitwithus: This is a support channel, not a random chat channel. [05:32] doitwithus: Though we have those as well. There is random chat in #ubuntu-offtopic, but it's pretty quiet at the moment. [05:33] anyone good with nfs? [05:33] o/ Appl3Kork [05:33] oh hey [05:34] Appl3Kork: Still having issues with xbmc? [05:34] so ya, i get that the setup for nfs is suppose to be like /mnt 192.168.1.176(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) [05:34] but for the IP, can i make it an IP that any ip on my network can access [05:34] so not just the ip of the xbmc? [05:35] cause the 192.168.1.176 is the ip of the raspberry pi [05:36] Appl3Kork: You can make it available to your entire network. Replace the ip with * [05:36] ok i'll try that Enkidu_ak [05:36] hi hello [05:36] u are a huge help when my other buddy isn't around :( [05:37] Appl3Kork: Sometimes I even get it right :D [05:37] iBrokeEverything: Hi [05:38] no joke though Enkidu_ak u just fixed it :D [05:38] its posible to run borderlands1 goty on ubuntu with that winetricks etc,,, ? i have on win7 version steam ,,all my dlcs [05:39] iBrokeEverything: 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] !steam | iBrokeEverything, see the steam site [05:39] iBrokeEverything, 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.

[05:40] iBrokeEverything: You can always install win32 steam [05:41] iBrokeEverything: Refer to that appdb that I was telling you about. If it can be done the instructions are probably there.

I try to play with settings it always goes off [05:49] its laptop [05:50] iBrokeEverything: It seems that you should follow the articles advice and re-install those drivers. [05:50] iBrokeEverything: I'm guessing that direct rendering is broken everywhere, not just for steam [05:51] enkidu_ak but am pretty lame in linux ,,my knowledge end by change wallpaper :D [05:52] iBrokeEverything: We all started somewhere.

[08:22] I'm wondering when a 3.16 kernel with at least the ckt5 patch set will be released, we're running into a few xen issues with 3.16-ckt4 [08:23] I see, maybe I will wait for a while for some exciting feature. thanks [08:25] mark_chang_1492: you can always try the live usb thingy though [08:27] nils:good idea.

[08:48] that depends on how you configured the virtual network interface in virtualbox [08:48] And it's probably better to ask a virtualbox channel [08:48] geirha: thanks :) , i will ask there [08:49] which is #vbox [08:52] Hi, 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? [08:54] weres the mint channel? [08:55] Example: Calling "ping foo" starts pinging "foo.dev". Why? === nikis is now known as niek === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [09:00] Found the solution. I should call "ping foo." with a dot at the end, to signalize that no further lookup or completion should be performed [09:02] PartNAS: /msg alis list mint [09:06] 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? [09:07] 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. [09:10] 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 python [09:11] neo1691_: check nmcli [09:12] that's because network manager is in unmanaged mode by default, meaning that it handles interfaces with its own files instead of /etc/network/interfaces [09:13] 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] neo1691_: nmcli is the command line utilty of NetworkManager. [09:13] neo1691_: So it uses the NetworkManager profiles. [09:14] yep, nmcli should use the same files as network manager [09:14] wicd probably won't, though [09:15] bekks: carl__ Thanks a lot. [09:15] 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 sure [09:15] silly ubuntu that doesn't have nmtui yet [09:15] :/ [09:16] oh curses [09:16] Pantsu: What do you need nmtui for, when there is nmcli? [09:16] bekks: nmtui is superiour in every way [09:17] it is much more user friendly and powerfull [09:17] Pantsu: curses in inferior by every means. [09:17] *is [09:17] nmcli could really need some work [09:18] hi === marvin is now known as Guest15418 [09:19] Pantsu: So start it, it's opensource and participation is highly welcome. [09:19] nmcli doesn't seem to be a part of ubuntu 12.04 official repositories? [09:20] neo1691_: it is part of networkmanager itself [09:20] Pantsu: If you decide to do some work over it i'am her. [09:21] here* [09:21] you don't want my patches [09:21] unless you want to torture someone [09:21] neo1691_: the package "network-manager" contains it. [09:22] 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 issue [09:22] thanks bekks :) [09:23] my code tend to look like https://github.com/MrElendig/kittypack and https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5d5f9f383c0c03c883fa :p [09:23] (you might want to keep some alcohol at hand to recover from the horror if you read the code) [09:24] That looks like Python and Haskell.

[13:05] f0086: It does matter, of course. [13:06] bekks: 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 place [13:07] f0086: Ask the froxlor support where they are doing things like that. [13:07] f0086: It is a basix product support question. [13:08] hi [13:08] does anyone want to skype-chat? [13:09] Ok, 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] f0086: Withou specifying any uid/gid, the numerical values from the source (the nfs server) are in effect. [13:10] cq-aux: this is technical support only. better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat [13:10] k [13:11] bekks: where can I specify the gid/uid mapping? [13:12] einyx, 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] f0086: In the mount command. [13:12] f0086: you can specify which uid/gid the external uid/gid should be maped to. [13:13] systemd0wn, is hard to tell, maybe with a traceroute you can see if there is some hop from which the connection start to slow down [13:14] I just tried ipv6-test.com/speedtest to compare and it says I'm getting nearly 26Mbps on both. [13:15] einyx: 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. [13:17] systemd0wn, errr i think if you go into network settings -> wired -> options you can say "ignore" [13:17] or something like that :D [13:22] einyx: I appreciate the help. But ignore doesn't seem to do it. [13:34] Hello, how do you check your brightness settings from the terminal? [13:35] systemd0wn, lol [13:35] kokut, xbacklight is what i use [13:36] systemd0wn, check under /proc [13:37] you should be able to echo under proc on a file called disable_ipv6 [13:37] Hello. Which linux can I use on a Pentium 3 with 120MB RAM? I just need a web browser in there. [13:37] kokut, it lets you control the level too. e.g. http://dpaste.com/3XZJW56 [13:37] fuffy try lubuntu [13:37] MonkeyDust: lubuntu needs to much ram [13:38] fuffy it's the "lightest", maybe look for an ever lighter distro [13:39] 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 distros [13:39] MonkeyDust: it may be the lightest ubuntu [13:39] pbx: 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 myself [13:41] kokut, 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 xbacklight [13:42] fuffy or what k1l_ says, the minimal install and install just what you need [13:43] MonkeyDust: do you know of any web browser who can display images but doesnt need X? [13:44] Lynx ? [13:45] fuffy: w3m text browser in xterm will show images [13:45] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2bMUtCOGko [13:46] hkrrsx: thanks [13:47] fuffy: you're welcome [13:47] Can somebody help me out with this issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10718355/ [13:49] asd_ what's the outcome of cat /etc/issue [13:49] I am experiencing some weird king of keyboard 'lag' (keystrokes or key releases won't always get registered) when using memory intensive Java applications, what direction should i look for a solution?

I cannot start it anymore, i can only start it on safe mode [15:07] hi 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 permissions [15:07] The file starts out as chmod 777 so it's unlocked why would it lock on the other side ? [15:07] and cannot be unlocked via terminal ? [15:08] Agent86: how do you transfer it? [15:08] I copy and past to the shared folder on the other computer, I do it from the source computer, to the target [15:09] in other words I'm at the source computer, and copy to the target [15:09] Agent86: if you are sharing over samba, I don't think that respects the original file permissions [15:09] should I be at the target computer and copy from source [15:09] Agent86: How exactly do you copy the file? [15:10] well they are both ubuntu computers and I don't believe I'm using samba just the browse network feature of ubuntu to the shared folder [15:11] copy 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 want [15:11] Copy and paste from where to where? [15:12] ahhhh I think I figured out, I had geany open and was editing it, so when I copied the file it was already open [15:12] yikes, === gusnan_ is now known as gusnan [15:14] oh well that wasn't it [15:14] still locked [15:14] i just use the built in ubuntu browse network, select my local file and copy to Music folder on the other local machine [15:15] it's locked on the other end [15:15] Agent86: Define "locked". [15:15] Agent86: Pastebin ls -lha filename after you copied the file please. [15:15] meaning right click and says permission could not be determined and has a little padlock icon on it. Also if I chmod 777 file it says something [15:15] ok [15:16] hello [15:16] ls -lha from which machine does it matter [15:16] Agent86: From the machine where the "file is locked". [15:16] ciao [15:16] what is a good backup solutions that has a web frontend as opposed to a GUI? [15:17] MDTech-us_MAN: backuppc has a web frontend. [15:17] ok. I will look at it [15:18] looks interesting [15:18] MDTech-us_MAN, there are several online backup contenders. e.g. https://www.starryhope.com/online-backup-solutions-for-ubuntu-linux/ [15:19] pbx: I guess he wants a local backup tool, not a cloud-based backup service. [15:19] I dont like backing up to the cloud [15:19] (which I would never trust at all). [15:20] same [15:20] MDTech-us_MAN, what on earth did you mean by "web frontend" then?? [15:20] yeah, that's what a spare HDD is for [15:20] pbx: Soe web page being opened in a browser? [15:20] pbx: Like: http://localhost/backuppc/ [15:20] I mean the frontend would run from the computer that is being backed up [15:21] especially useful for ubuntu server ;) [15:21] MDTech-us_MAN: I am using a CLI based backup solution for my server. [15:22] I know the command like is powerful and great and all, but a web just makes it that much easier === Bayangan_ is now known as Bayangan [15:23] I already spend most of my time on command lines [15:23] lol [15:23] MDTech-us_MAN: So what do you need eye candy for? :) [15:24] I don't have to write 100 characters to start/schedule a backup [15:24] MDTech-us_MAN: And backuppc isnt a point and click solution. You have to configure (on a command line) what you want to do there.

[16:50] mchelen1: i believe so? 14.04 clean install [16:51] i have problems with menu bars too small, font size too big for places like the control panel [16:51] agrippaz, the system wide scaling is not just for fonts/text [16:51] my cursor size changes drastically depending on which app i'm in [16:51] well, the size setting is in the Fonts panel [16:51] agrippaz, most apps are not optimized for high dpi. [16:51] any can help us with SLAAC ? === usuario is now known as pascosta26 === eduardo is now known as Guest71336 [16:53] agrippaz, hmm i used the one in Settings -> Display [16:53] mchelen1: is this how you live too? http://i.imgur.com/8LQPbV4.png [16:53] on parted what are "primary, extended, logical" ? [16:53] agrippaz, what fonts panel? [16:54] ah i'm sorry mchelen1, i was using Unity Tweak Tool, where the Fonts panel is [16:54] I assume primary is exactly what it means and logical is the system usage [16:54] agrippaz, nope, don't use unity tweak [16:54] agrippaz, at least not to start with [16:54] ah dang [16:54] but is extended what I can add to primary? [16:54] :| [16:55] agrippaz, go to Displays and look for "Scale for menu and title bars" [16:55] mchelen1: on your high-dpi system, are the menus and tabs in Chromium/Chrome very small? What machine ar eyou using? [16:56] mchelen1: got it. set to 1.38 which seems to be helping a bit [16:56] hey there! I am trying to build a linux lib with cmake here, but unfortunely #include : No such file or directory.

[17:00] mchelen1: okay, i'll play with the scaling size in Display and the font size in Tweak Tool, I think I can get an okay combo out of it. just wanted to check if there's a better way :) [17:00] whats vps box?

[19:43] Bray90820: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently [19:44] bekks: Does it matter that that is a windows share tutorial [19:44] Bray90820: No. Because smb shares are Windows shares. [19:45] hello. [19:45] bekks: what exactly do you mean by windows share because windows is not installed on this qnap [19:45] hello body [19:46] Bray90820: SMB is a filesharing protocol which is used by Windows. [19:46] Bray90820: samba is a windows protocol [19:46] Bray90820: so it doesnt matter if its provided by a windows or a linux server. all your ubuntu sees is the samba [19:46] I found a way to search the available repositories... [19:46] Hello everyone! Is there a way to pause syslog from writing to disk? [19:46] is it not normal to handle debian based questions? [19:47] CptRageToaster: for debian question please see #debian [19:47] here? this is Ubuntu support [19:47] or even questions specifically about ubuntu repositories? [19:47] debian makes sense, and I'd go to #debian... [19:47] CptRageToaster: As we said before Saucy reached its end of life a year ago, it is not supported. [19:47] CptRageToaster: please stop the drama now! if you use mint, ask the mint support. if you dont like their support, dont use mint. thats it. [19:48] Any1 need help? [19:48] ¡por favor!, ¿alg-un canal en español? [19:48] systemadmin7 yes i do [19:48] !es | ubuntu_ [19:48] ubuntu_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [19:48] Today's the day I have to decide, I'm installing my new SSD - should I dual boot with windows 8.1 or single boot with just Ubuntu on my SSD? [19:48] ubuntu [19:48] Aeiortv: Thats only up to you. [19:48] thank you.. [19:49] ltd [19:49] lts [19:49] SysAdmin7: I do, I want to figure out how to remove video outputs from xrandr, it is causes issues with our application [19:49] Johnny_Linux: 1404? [19:49] yeah [19:49] India has a bunch of stores selling Ubuntu Linux machines correct? http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/internet/india-doubles-down-on-use-of-open-source-software/articleshow/46738604.cms [19:49] CptRageToaster, Ubuntu repos, yes. Debian, no [19:49] Wat do u need [19:49] you have the latest with longevity [19:49] will secure boot + UEFI prevent me from installing ubuntu? [19:50] I need DP2 and HDMI2 to stop showing up on xrandr [19:50] i need to disable it before it boots to ubuntu 14.04 [19:50] !uefi | Aeiortv [19:50] Aeiortv: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:50] thank you ObrienDave [19:50] ObrienDave: it's apparently an issue with fielding questions specifically about saucy repos... [19:50] I'll have to word my questions carefully in the future I guess [19:50] ./end [19:51] CptRageToaster: you have to use Ubuntu for getting Ubuntu support ;) [19:52] try --output --off [19:52] CptRageToaster, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [19:53] i have it still shows up after a reboot === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [19:58] Does anyone know if there's a way to pause syslog from writing to disk? [19:59] siminm: Stop it, since the purpose of syslog is writing logs to disks. [20:00] bekks: I'm not sure what the systems would do if syslog is actually stopped [20:00] pkill -STOP syslog [20:00] siminm: nothing harmful except you won't have the logs written [20:00] siminm: Nothing. Besides not logging anymore. [20:00] oh awesome. scary but awesome. thanks [20:03] \server asylumnet.org [20:05] siminm: chattr -R +i / [20:05] should fix it [20:06] akkad: Erm, no? [20:06] siminm: Dont run that command. [20:06] bekks: :) [20:06] akkad: oh wow no [20:07] I run everything people tell me [20:07] siminm: Hopefully you dont. [20:07] Well that's sad. [20:07] secure mode [20:07] that's almost as bad as "rpm -qa | xargs rpm -e", something I have unfortunately done [20:08] why not just wipe the rpm db [20:08] akkad: Thats totally unrelated to his question. [20:08] akkad: Can you please refrain from the unrelated offtopic? [20:10] I just tested stopping /etc/init.d/syslog-ng and it works great. Logs stop, but services work fine [20:11] Hey all. I tried installing windows, and I deleted an old ext4 partition at the beginning of my device. It told me after "no cigar" and when I rebooted, my other ext4 partition now appears as "unallocated space" in sda2 [20:11] how do I recover my ext4 partition? [20:11] !recover [20:11] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [20:11] siminm: for a better long term solution I recommend modifying the logrotate.d/rsyslog to include a maximum log size that triggers rotation. That would prevent the disk from filling up in an error situation [20:12] my skype is not working what do i do? [20:12] I am unable to login to skype [20:12] can anybody help me? [20:13] ho do i fix it [20:13] zerowaitstate: thanks; filesize wasn't the problem. I was debugging too frequent writes to hdd [20:13] @argha__ is that the first time installing skype? [20:13] or did you had problems earlier? [20:13] yes [20:13] hi [20:14] this is the fierst time [20:14] **first [20:14] how did you installed skype? [20:14] hi [20:14] siminm: you can also use the conf file for your syslog daemon to direct particular event sources to console or dev/null [20:14] via apt-get or downloaded .deb? [20:14] hi there, how do i get my name yellow? [20:14] create an account on skype first? [20:14] zerowaitstate: oh! useful. I'll read up on that [20:14] install from terminal [20:14] everything coming well in my screen [20:15] but i am only unable to log in [20:15] siminm: yeah, that's dependent on your particular syslog daemon implementation; it's not something you control from logrotate [20:15] after browsing for sometimes it has stopped working [20:16] might can you tell me how di i fix it? [20:16] Actully no, i thought it was deb install [20:17] no.skkype has been installed in my desktop [20:17] Becouse installing via debs wont install libs that you need, just raw skype file. [20:17] but it unablle to log in [20:17] because* [20:17] is it issue with skype version? === Johnny_Linux is now known as `robwerks === `robwerks is now known as HackerII [20:18] yes [20:18] I dont think so, because if you installed it via terminal it automaticly install the latest version [20:18] actually if it not installed properly then the login window will not come i think so [20:18] might [20:18] but you could anyway try update and upgrade [20:18] I had problems before with kind of same thing [20:19] how ? [20:19] logins screen pops but i was unable to login for like 2 h [20:19] skype version is 4.3.0.37 [20:19] sec pls [20:19] ya the sam thing i am also facing [20:19] hw do i fix it? [20:20] have any idea? [20:20] Yeah, my 4.3.0.37 works [20:20] IDK [20:20] sure that your password is ok? :D [20:20] idk sorry dude [20:20] yup [20:20] hope you find answer somewhere else [20:20] i am logginn in from my phone [20:20] and it's working [20:21] argha__: I'm assuming your pc is connected to the internet? [20:21] (still?) [20:21] yes it's connected with internet [20:22] that's pretty weird... [20:22] I wonder if opening skype at the terminal, would display the errors it has [20:22] then, you could login, and see the console chatter [20:22] when i signing in it's window continuously popping up [20:23] but after sometimes it has been again comes to it's preliminary state [20:25] oh my god after a long time it's ultimately logging in [20:25] than you cp and might for ur kind cooperation [20:25] call me maybe :-P [20:26] you may want to run skype from the command line, if that long-loggin time continues :) [20:26] login* [20:26] Hi Folks! -I have a Thinkpad X61T and a script to rotate the screen and would like to bind it to the dedicated button on the tablet, but ubuntu will always activate the screensaver even if I add a custum key-binding to my script.... -any ideas where I could "delete" this binding to the screensaver? [20:27] #ubuntu-touch maybe? [20:27] i'm not sure which shortcut system its using [20:28] Traintop, did you check keyboard settings/shortcuts? [20:28] how do login in skype from terminal? [20:29] how do i log in into skype? [20:29] from command line [20:29] cptrage [20:29] argha__: You shouldn't have to [20:29] you should be able to START skype from the terminal [20:29] skype will then open it's window normally [20:29] what is the command [20:29] but, you'll have a log [20:29] oh... I wouldn't know actually [20:30] have you tried typing [20:30] skype [20:30] and then hitting tab? [20:30] it might be as simple as saying "skype" in your terminal [20:30] i m trying wait a min [20:30] skype & [20:31] ya skype windows coming is comng [20:31] OerHeks: No need to send it to the background if you want the log... [20:31] right? [20:31] but if i want to login from the terminal then [20:31] what is t command? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [20:32] argha__: eee... that's... [20:32] that may not be possible [20:32] not sure... [20:32] ok [20:32] skype MIGHT support some command line arguments [20:32] I'm going to google, and see if I can come up with anything [20:33] ok [20:33] argha__: There are some places for it [20:33] argha__: have you tried skype --help ? [20:33] what r those? [20:34] Did dzorek say the command worked? [20:34] argha__: seems you can even initiate a call with the cli, didn't know that. [20:34] yeah... that's pretty nifty... [20:34] no [20:34] i type skype help but [20:34] argha__: with the dashes? (--) [20:34] there has no option for loggin in [20:35] SysAdmin7: i have it still shows up after a reboot [20:35] argha__: This stackoverflow looks like it answers your question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/350072/how-to-log-in-to-skype-via-command-line [20:35] argha__: skype --help will show --pipelogin, which might be what you want. [20:35] specifically the --pipelogin [20:36] $ echo username password | skype --pipelogin [20:36] Oh, hmm [20:36] yeah [20:36] not amazing... [20:36] not very secure... [20:36] but it works [20:37] Let me think [20:37] Why not just login in via the skype gui? [20:37] harder to script the skype gui to login to various accounts, run actions, logout or open new instances [20:38] ^ [20:38] Sounds like skype spamming :) [20:44] mchelen1: yes, this is my problem; I added a new "custom" keybinding there with no erorrs, but still the button works as the screensaver-button [20:45] ok, I'm back. Is dzorek on? [20:45] !tab | SysAdmin7 [20:45] SysAdmin7: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [20:45] Traintop, do you see any other shortcuts that use the same keys? [20:45] Traintop, maybe install compizconfig [20:46] Oh, thx. Usin a hacked blackberry [20:47] mchelen1: no, I see no other keybinding in the default gui [20:47] Traintop, ah ok there you gi [20:47] mchelen1: so I thought this could be somewhere in the startup-scripts [20:47] *go [20:48] sorry, had to go afk... [20:48] mchelen1: I'm just trying compizconfig [20:49] Traintop, ok, im wondering if one of the compiz actions is using the same key combo [20:50] compiz-keybindings are not activated [20:50] should I do so? [20:50] I think no... -as I am wondering where this "screensaver-button" binding comes from... [20:51] anyone here know about apache? [20:51] if 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] and I cannot override with the default gui [20:52] that's why I asked here; I think this iś defined somewhere in config-files... -but I don't know where [20:52] even "grep"ed for it, but to no avail... [20:53] mchelen1: do you think the compiz-keybinding have higher priority; perhaps trying to bind the script there? === wolrah_ is now known as wolrah [20:54] how do i logging in skype from terminal? === andre__ is now known as Guest86194 [20:55] can anybody tell me? [20:55] argha__: CptRageRoaster told you a few pages ago [20:55] Traintop, idk about priority, but they could both be activated [20:56] Traintop, you might have more luck asking in #ubuntu-touch tho since i'm guessing thats the version you have [20:56] i have to only type echo argha abc | skype --pipelogin [20:56] or somthing else? [20:56] username and password for ex [20:56] "for ex"? [20:56] example [20:57] hi all. I seem to be having a problem with my swap partition using an FDE on ubuntu 14.04. I get an error message stating that /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready or present. swapon -s reports no swap partition. I've tried reformatting and rebuilding the swap partition but no luck [20:57] mchelen1: tested compiz: my script isn't started, but the notifier for the touchpadtoggle does not show anymore; will dig into this further; thanks man [20:57] Traintop, np good luck [20:57] can anyone point me to a doc that describes the process when using LVM and full disk encryption? [20:57] mchelen1: and I am using the normal ubuntu 12.04 I think there was no touch-variant at this time [20:58] Traintop, ah ok [20:58] pyoor: What is a "FDE"? [20:58] i write the above cmd but the only skype window coming [20:58] argha__: Which "above command"? [20:58] loggging in is not working by this command [20:58] yes [20:58] argha__: I cannot verify what CptRageRoaster said as I have no skype; but what CptRage... wrote seems intuitivly [20:58] why would one need terminal login for a gui programm like skype.. [20:59] bekks: FDE = Full Disk Encryption [20:59] argha__: just use the skype gui [20:59] ok [21:00] mchelen1: but thanks for the hint to #ubuntu-touch; will go there and try if someone there had the same problem and an elegant solution :-) [21:00] ya gui is working but i want to log in from termianl === Guest86194 is now known as andrelm [21:00] argha__: then take the time and read the documentation. users in here explained it already to you. if you want to know more read the skype docs [21:02] Traintop, yah if you are running on a tablet it might be worth investigating [21:02] Traintop, or consider upgrading to 14.04 [21:03] mchelen1: this is an core2duo@1.6GH; and as 12.04 works I do not want to change to a newer system with more background-daemons... ;-> [21:04] mchelen1: except for these 3 buttons everything else works like a charme :-) [21:04] Traintop: So disable all those "background daemons" if you dont like them. Whatever those may be. [21:04] how do I copy something to chroot? [21:05] Traintop, there might be better touchscreen support though, but if most things are working now then maybe dont mess with it [21:05] mchelen1: that's what I think :-) [21:06] Hi. 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] Traintop, can always try a liveusb and see [21:06] but 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? [21:07] Traintop, that just sounds like the system id for the button [21:08] bekks: 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 :-) === N2DaM is now known as ctrl-freak === bill is now known as Guest99368 [21:09] mchelen1: do you eventually know where these are defined in ubuntu... -so I could look there for a solution? [21:10] Traintop, you can probably find the definition somewhere in the source code, but i don't think thats what you want [21:10] Traintop, the name doesn't matter except that its bound to some action somewhere [21:11] mchelen1: no :-) -I rather thought of a file where these definitions are done while booting or so... [21:11] Traintop, those aren't necessarily text files [21:11] they can be compiled binaries [21:11] what I think is funny, my laptop doesn't even have a touchpad, but ubuntu installs this keybinding even with notifier-icon and so on... :-) [21:12] Traintop, its possible the touchscreen itself is treated as a touchpad [21:14] mchelen1: 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 touchpad [21:14] Hey what do you guys think of Ubuntu Mate? [21:14] is ubuntu cat8 ready? [21:14] hey does anyone know what file cntrl alt L calls in Ubuntu 14.04 [21:15] or how to find that out [21:15] ctrl alt L locks you're pc as far as im aware unless I misread the question. [21:18] gndlp, settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts [21:19] Can i get Album to update pictures automaticly? [21:19] Hi, I just installed Ubuntu via the net install, when I boot grub is skipped completely and automatically boots into Ubuntu, giving me no choice at all to boot into the other paritions, what do I do? [21:19] DaveMcAve: Press esc or shift to get into the grub menu. [21:20] Oh okay [21:20] Thanks [21:20] DaveMcAve: be aware of the perhaps small timeout... [21:20] DaveMcAve: HOLD shift after boot might be easiest direction... [21:21] DaveMcAve, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Boot_Display_Behavior === stas is now known as Guest192 [21:26] Hi guys. I'm using openSUSE and it fucked my brain, I hate it's update system. It works bad with Virtualbox(I never had so much problems with it before) and design is total crap. Can you please advice me what DE and FS to use with Ubuntu? Can I replace openSUSE with Ubuntu without formatting whole drive? [21:26] No. [21:27] No-I can't replase or you can't advice? [21:27] you cant replace it. [21:27] Eightynine, formatting takes seconds [21:28] Backups may take hours, before :) [21:28] But I'm using SSD isn't it bad to format it often? [21:28] EightyNine: delete everthing on disc except /home/; should work afaik [21:29] EightyNine: and use a different default-user on the new system [21:29] Eightynine: Thats an urban legend. [21:29] Don't mix suse with ubuntu installation, clean install is the best way. === xubuntu is now known as Guest45169 [21:30] If you don't make a backup of your data, then that data is not important. this is generally for any system change. [21:31] I have 40 GB root, 3,86 GB swap, 67,92 GB home and 3 1,92 GB tmpfs volumes. [21:31] BAckup your data, and install Ubuntu cleanly. [21:31] Can I just format root? [21:32] Backup your data, destroy all partitions found, and install Ubuntu onto the disk. [21:32] i guess thats the point of having root partition [21:33] Eightynine: you forgot to make a backup partition [21:33] openSUSE made this partition layout. [21:33] PartNAS: BAckups on the same disk are pointless :) [21:33] Eightynine: So destroy and let Ubuntu make its own. [21:33] not in this case [21:35] is it possible to dualboot another distro on ubuntu phone? [21:35] Is this better to use Ubuntu with Unity or can I use it with Gnome and it'll be the same? I used Ubuntu a few years ago and I used Xubuntu(tried it) about a year ago), so I don't know if it's handy to use Unity and if Ubuntu Gnome is stable or not. [21:35] PartNAS, better ask in #ubuntu-touch [21:36] Eightynine: Ubuntu GNOME has been out for a while and is 'stable' - Unity and GNOME both work, although I personally prefer Unity [21:36] theres a piece of another window persistant on my screen thru lock/unlock and workspace change [21:36] wtf [21:36] Eightynine: There is no "better" in terms of "your personal choice". [21:36] Why do you prefer Unity? Just asking. [21:37] ya.. that's a head scratcher [21:37] Eightynine: I don't think folks "prefer" unity, so much as its the default flavor [21:37] Does anybody have any experience with mdadm? I created a raid0 on my machine and now would like to try and move my /home directory to it. Currently this is what I can come up with in my fstab http://nopaste.linux-dev.org/?452961 [21:37] Eightynine: just like many Internet Explorer users "prefer" IE, over other browsers, lazyness maybe [21:38] I asked , he said that he prefer Unity. [21:38] Eightynine: I see, you may want to prefix your lines then :) [21:38] IE has a huge memory leak and interface is working bad. [21:39] Sorry, I don't know how to do this in HexChat. [21:39] Eightynine: Type it? === wolrah_ is now known as wolrah [21:39] !tab | Eightynine [21:39] Eightynine: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:39] Eightynine: but that's just an opinion there's no 'better' one [21:39] Eightynine: GNOME is closer to Xubuntu, probably [21:40] !flavors [21:40] !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [21:40] Eightynine: I prefer kde, and yes, I do prefer it, I've used on many other distributions as well, since I run many kde apps, also run gnome ones as well, since some gnome ones work better than the kde alternative [21:41] it is like 20 different brands of peanutbutter :-D [21:41] If only developers could rewrite Ubuntu tools on D instead of using Python, Ubuntu could become OS X in Linux world. If only I was a good programmer and not a beginner, I would helped you. [21:42] tools on D ? [21:42] KDE5 is better than KDE4(I mean it consumes less resources) but I don't like this monster. [21:42] Yes, Dlang. I tried to learn it. [21:43] Is there a big difference between Gnome and Unity? [21:44] yes [21:44] I wonder which of them is more usable. [21:44] does any one know how to fix this error http://i.imgur.com/n9ILUMY.png?1 [21:44] Unity is just a compiz plugin on top of gnome3 [21:44] Eightynine: try them both and see [21:45] ShadowPony: some more details are necessary [21:46] Ben64 the issue is is we use SSH root and dusk can edit the files but not dragony [21:46] ShadowPony: you shouldn't use ssh root, no idea what dusk and dragony are [21:46] users [21:46] I think tomorrow I'll download and install Ubuntu Gnome. Guys, sorry if I'm wrong but I think that tools like Drivers and Software Centre need a good optimisation. They start really slow and long. Maybe you fixed them already. [21:46] dusk and dragony are users [21:46] root is disabled for sshs and everthing [21:47] ShadowPony: maneframe? sounds "hairy", is that a typo maybe? did you mean "mainframe"? [21:47] bprompt_: no that was intentical [21:47] Ben64: dusk can edit the files but not dragony [21:48] ok... so what are the permissions on the file [21:48] 777 [21:48] ShadowPony: hmmmm sounds like a chown matter though... I'd think you could get around by setting the file to "755" or just a+x [21:48] sounds like a bad idea [21:48] Good luck guys. Thanks for help. [21:48] bprompt_: why set it to 755 [21:49] ShadowPony: to make it a+x pretty much [21:49] bprompt_: they are 755 [21:50] Is your site ubuntu.com? Sorry for stupid question. [21:50] bprompt_: alright dusk owns the dir but not dragony [21:50] Eightynine: sure, you can get ubuntu there [21:50] Thanks. [21:53] Eightynine: hmmm I use kde 4.8.5, haven't checked kde5 yet, just kde 4.13, as far as size, it depends on features, kde can be fancy schmanzy === dust__ is now known as dust [21:56] i am reading things about udev, but i don't know if the article is up to date or not. is currently udev the "way" that ubuntu uses to handle /dev directories? [21:57] huig: Yes. === tj_ is now known as Guest93519 === Guest93519 is now known as tj83 [22:00] ShadowPony are those users within the correct permissions groups? [22:03] I'm loading "flight gear" from the repository. I see that it appears to me single thread application ? its only making use of one cpu core. anything I can do to split the load up? [22:03] it has one core pegged at 100% and not even hopping cores. just stuck on CPU1 [22:04] ++++ttttt----------+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [22:05] d/l source and recompile [22:06] and patch source before recompiling. [22:08] so one of my users did a apt-get dist-upgrade on a VM and now its in a Kernel Panic, anyone experience this before? [22:09] * zykotick9 wonders why a user has the right to apt-get anything... [22:09] decisions made by people with far more arse kissing skills than I [22:10] tj83: There is no way to make a single threaded application usefully use multiple cores other than modifying the source code to no longer be single threaded. That said, I have no idea whether or not flight gear is indeed single threaded. Try joining #flightgear, explain your symptoms, and ask if there is a way to make flightgear run better for you. [22:10] i think flightgear 3 uses multicore/gpu .. http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:Activate_multi_core_and_multi_GPU_support [22:11] nrml1: Why were they running "apt-get dist-upgrade" rather than "apt-get upgrade"? What new packages were installed or removed? [22:11] cause they're dumb... that was their quote by the way [22:11] he said he did apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade then apt-get dist-upgrade === Yukkino is now known as Yukkii [22:12] nrml1: What is the exact error that they see when they try to boot? [22:12] not sure if it matters but these were 10.04 systems I [22:13] nrml1: might have changed the kernel [22:13] k1l_, thats what I'm thinking [22:13] nrml1: 10.04 goes end of life at the end of april anyway. so you might want to make a new setup :) [22:13] Jordan_U, Kernel panic - not sysncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [22:13] Hey, I recently updated from 13.10 to 14.04 and whenever I boot now I'm brought to the grub> prompt, was hoping someone could help me [22:14] If those VM's contain a desktop, i bet it is an upgrade notice [22:14] k1l_, I know but I need to get him off my back if I could just fix it [22:14] !bootinfo | Guest21477 [22:14] Guest21477: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [22:15] I'll do that now. [22:15] Guest21477, press ctrl alt F7 ( do you see a screen now?) [22:16] nrml1: Putting it another way, if you simply install Ubuntu 14.04 for them now you will solve their current problem *and* the problem they're going to have in one month. [22:17] Jordan_U, its more complicated than that though.. the environment cant support 14.04 right now (I'm working on centralizing this right now) [22:17] can I use ecryptfs to encrypt only a certain directory? [22:17] I'm working on getting a more automated system in place where if they do this again I can blow this one away and then spawn a new one [22:17] right now its manual :( [22:20] I swear booting from my DVD drive is the slowest thing ever [22:20] from my research people say editing grub may fix it, but its a PITA booting a livecd [22:21] nrml1: You can select an older kernel from the grub menu at boot. [22:21] nrml1: Insert the CD, wait, done? [22:22] its a VM on an ESXi host [22:22] Attach the ISO to the VM, boot, done? [22:22] been doing that for like an hour, it wont boot for some reason :/ [22:23] nrml1: Can you access the grub menu at boot? [22:23] nope [22:23] nrml1: Why not? [22:23] I'm looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/135362 and experiencing the bug myself. [22:23] Launchpad bug 135362 in cdrkit (Ubuntu) "genisoimage error "directories too deep" using Rock Ridge" [Undecided,Fix released] [22:23] kernel panic [22:24] "and as genisoimage is just [22:24] a very old version of mkisofs, it suffers from the problem." [22:24] I guess nothing's changed here? :-( In short, I'm trying to create an iso from part of my filesystem, but there are "deep" directories. [22:25] the problen is the rock ridge standard. 255 characters in path max [22:26] lmat: You are not hitting that exact bug, so please explain what you are doing (including exact commands) and what happens (all output), using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com as needed for output longer than one line. [22:26] and as genisoimage is just [22:26] sorry [22:26] nrml1: I asked why you can't access the grub menu. The grub menu comes before any kernel can be loaded and panic. [22:27] http://sprunge.us/fIaO [22:27] To get that, I ran genisoimage -o jmmdrive.iso /mnt/flash/ 2>&1 | head -n 50 [22:27] Jordan_U, I dunno bro, the vmware splash comes on and then the kernel panic, too quick [22:27] Jordan_U: here are the results of the script pastebin.com/NhvMgkNg [22:28] Jordan_U: i'm thinking -D is the ticket... [22:28] nrml1: Try holding shift during boot (you'll have to be sure that the VM window has keyboard focus early enough). [22:29] lmat: Seems like it. [22:29] doesnt help that my desktop is like inception for windows.. I Got a vm of a windows vm of a windows os [22:29] Hi [22:29] hello world [22:30] Guest21477: Please pastebin the output of "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ && find /mnt/". [22:30] trying to boot from "Rescue" now.. whatever that is. [22:30] I'm using getaddrinfo() to resolve a host. There are two IPs for it for dns round robin load balancing. On my debian system this works, on my ubuntu-14.04 system the result is always ordered. Is there any option I missed? [22:31] hi, anyone know if there is a way to mark a sas card's drive to light us as failed on the chassis? is there some kind of command that would tell the sas controller to illuminate the failed led? [22:32] Jordan_U: pastebin.com/zF78NKkE [22:33] Guest21477: Please pastebin the contents of /mnt/grub/grub.cfg (you can do so by running "pastebinit /mnt/grub/grub.cfg" ). === Aragonite is now known as Aragonite|away_p [22:34] ponyofdeath: ive never done that but you can use smartmontools to email you the output when a disc fails [22:35] ramen69: yeah i know about that, just need to be able to tell which drive from the outside of the server :) [22:38] ramen69: hey ramen do you know how to enable SMART support on a device with smartctl? [22:38] ramen69: on all devices i mean [22:39] gndlp: Either the drive supports SMART or it doesnt. You cannot enable/disable it. === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [22:39] ^ [22:39] Jordan_U: "unable to read from: grub.cfg" [22:40] Jordan_U: the file exists but appears to be blank when I navigate to it [22:40] udev rules are in /etc/udev/rules.d or in /lib/udev/rules.d? from what i reading is seems that they have to be in /etc/udev/rules.d but i don't find any file with rules [22:40] Guest21477: Well, whatever is preventing linux from reading the grub.cfg right now is probably the same thing preventing grub from reading it at boot. [22:41] Guest21477: Please pastebin the output of "dmesg". You may have filesystem corruption, which an fsck might fix. [22:41] ponyofdeath: aite, i seen a blogpost some guy lit up his hdd led doing some haxy method a while ago but im real sorry i forgot where i saw it :( [22:42] Guest21477: Though, as a simple test, please pastebin the exact output of "sudo cat /mnt/grub/grub.cfg". [22:42] bekks: Well if the drive supports it and you install smartmontools by default it monitors nothing until you trigger it with the -s flag but I need to deploy it to some file servers and I dont want to have to enable it on every drive on every machine [22:42] ramen69: thanks [22:43] gndlp: Run it once fpr every drive. [22:43] gndlp: Thats easily scriptable. [22:44] bekks: yeah dumb question now that i think about it [22:45] Jordan_U: "cat: /mnt/grub/grub.cfg: Input/output error" [22:45] so I got it to boot [22:45] lemme check what else he did and didnt mention [22:46] Guest21477: That's almost certainly either hardware failure or filesystem corruption (which may have been caused by hardware failure). [22:46] Guest21477: I hope that you have all of the important data from your encrypted root filesystem backed up. [22:46] Jordan_U: output of dmsg - pastebin.com/Yg3SHdzH [22:47] Jordan_U: it is a brand new installation [22:48] anyone know off-hand what the latest kernel is for 10.04? [22:48] Jordan_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 restart [22:50] Guest21477: 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] ... boot again. [22:50] Jordan_U: okay, thanks [22:50] Guest21477: You're welcome. Good luck.
