[00:07] aiconnect: Welcome, Hang loose, learn a lot, this is ubuntu support . [00:08] k1l_ this is in ec2 no proxies/vpns [00:08] thanks :) [00:08] Joining to lean more about Linux [00:08] I can reproduce the 404 from home, and other clients. are you not seeing it? [00:08] thought ikonia saw a 404 as well [00:09] aiconnect: Great - Start with a question? [00:10] No specific question yet, I am a CompSci student (IT Sec focus, and was always more Windows than Linux. But now I am learning more about Linux, so I thought this would be a good place to learn more. [00:10] ross_: just running a vivid on here, but vivid-security is not set on security.ubuntu.com but on the same archive.ubuntu.com in sources.list [00:11] alright will try a archive [00:11] aiconnect: Do you have a Linux installed yet? [00:11] Oh yeah, I have Ubuntu on a desktop and I have Kali on a VM on my windows Laptop [00:11] aiconnect: Great store house of knowledge: http://ubuntuforums.org/ .

[00:15] Hmm..... 6/10 [00:15] intersting the non-determinism [00:17] hi [00:17] aiconnect, I think thats really the big thing to learn, really it's just a collection of tools you kind of have to memorize, I wouldn't worry about sed/awk or text manipulation just yet, but get a firm handle on the commands you'll need for security, there are some good security based distros out there as well that can help [00:17] I know command line basics, I know shell scripting, and I would say I am a little more than average with my command line knowledge but I want to learn a lot more. [00:17] comment pirater un compte facebook [00:18] aiconnect, etherape is also a fun little tool, although I always read it as "ethe rape" :/ [00:19] ross_: well, i dont know a solution right now. [00:20] I know a bunch of tools to: Wireshark, John the Ripper, Snort, Nmap blah blah blah but I am far far far from great with Linux so the more I can learn here, the happier I will be :) [00:20] aiconnect, also get your alias's setup asap, it makes using the command line 100% easier, if bash it's in ~/.bashrc [00:20] aiconnect, oh cool youre on your way then :) [00:21] Yeah I am getting there, maybe one day I will be awesome with Linux, or at least non cringe worthy to the experts haha [00:22] hi [00:22] aiconnect, hehe cool, well good luck, it takes a while but it's mostly fun - it definitely has a ceiling though, once your get solid with it, it's there for life [00:23] aiconnect, it doesn't change a lot :) [00:23] hi crosse [00:23] Hi Crosse [00:23] haw are you === JeDa is now known as C00lStudent [00:24] Linux people always feel fine.

Does this mean it is not patched against heartbleed? Or am I looking at the wrong version? [00:43] Geo: no it doesn't [00:43] OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012 [00:43] kostkon thnx [00:43] Where should I instead be looking? [00:43] you're looking in the right place [00:43] crosse, happy to have helped [00:44] from where you [00:44] ikonia, ok, i give up, how do I tell then? :) [00:44] Geo: tell what ? [00:44] Geo: apt-cache policy openssl [00:44] crosse, this is an support only channel, we can't chit-chat here unfortunately [00:44] If I'm patched to the current version- that version says its from 2012, pre-heartbleed, but you said that doesnt mean it is not patched [00:45] Geo: look at the ubuntu package version [00:45] the fixes are back ported, [00:45] ok sorry [00:45] 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.25 - I'm used to seeing 1.0.1g , etc. How do I correlate that? === eddie is now known as Guest77129 [00:46] Geo: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssl/openssl_1.0.1-4ubuntu5.25/changelog [00:46] "used to seeing" ? [00:46] you will see the version it is [00:46] nothing more [00:46] Geo: you can look at the changelogs, but that package is from March 19th, 2015 so its good [00:47] Ben64: just found https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/ [00:47] so yes, thank you! [00:47] is there a way to make a command use all the processors. Like "makeopts -j5" in gentoo [00:47] Guest77129: no [00:47] they are build options, not run time [00:47] ok, fair enough [00:47] thanks [00:47] processes will use multiple processes if they are smp aware [00:48] depends on the command really, there are ways to parallelize certain things [00:48] is there a way to relate these ubuntu packages to the openssl stable releases? ie 1.0.1g, etc [00:48] Geo: no [00:48] Geo, openssl version -a check the build date [00:48] Geo: they are not related to different versios [00:48] they are related to the version they say they are in the packages/version [00:49] Geo: you are trying to go the wrong path. you are frightened of CVEs? so look at http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ if the CVE is patched for your ubuntu version. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [00:49] k1l_, nope- just trying to figure out what version I have [00:50] anyway, think i'm there now. thank you [00:50] Geo: you have the version in the package list [00:50] Geo: and in the openssl version option [00:50] Changes I make in nvidia-settings dont persist across reboots, even when running nvidia-settings as root through gksudo. Is there some other issue with nvidia-settings in 14.10? [00:50] ikonia: as I said twice, openssl version shows a date from 2012 [00:50] Geo: correct [00:50] so that doesn't seem to be accurate [00:50] Geo: and that is correct [00:50] it is accurate [00:50] Geo: itsa accurate. it just get patched [00:51] OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 \n built on: Thu Mar 19 15:12:02 UTC 2015 [00:51] Geo: ubuntu doesnt increase the version number but patch. [00:51] because it has security fixes but its the same version [00:51] Ben64: that is a 14.04? [00:51] yep [00:52] he is using the 12.04 [00:52] i know, but you can see two differing dates on mine too [00:52] on 12.04: OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012 built on: Thu Mar 19 15:18:31 UTC 2015 [00:52] yes of course :) [00:55] Having issues burning 14.04 iso image to disc [00:55] ahhh.... ok, so maybe this is making more sense now on some other issues I'm having. Is there any reason some code might fail with 'ssl wrong version number' as a result of this 'old patched' version being used? [00:55] or is *all* the stuff backported? [00:55] only security stuff [00:56] right- some python scripts using SSL/TLS (not sure which) fail [00:56] used brasero to write image to disk but it didn't become a boot disk. [00:56] Would upgrading on the client machine help? [00:57] Geo: upgrading to 14.04 maybe [00:57] I think get you ikonia, I was trying to wipe a drive with dd, and figured it could go faster with multiple threads, but prob would have bottlenecked at the USB anyway [00:58] ok, I am still having issues with unity, some windows open but I cannot get them to the foreground [00:58] Ben64: so no suggested path while keeping it on 12.04?

(installation usb) [01:01] poking at a few things, it looks like sslv3 isnt working/being offered. This may be starting to wander off topic, but I'll leave you alone if anyone can confirm or deny that there are issues or not with sslv3 on 12.04? [01:01] bindi, date of files say something [01:02] 21.8.2014 but still nfi :P [01:02] And I would try to change directory's but it would say directory not found [01:02] weird [01:02] ahha [01:02] found "info" file. 14.04 [01:04] I tried copying and pasting the command from the ubuntu how page, but it would say no such file, or something to that effect [01:04] thats why I restarted [01:04] or maybe python was compiled against an old openssl version? [01:04] Trfsrfr: sounds like you're typing things wrong [01:06] Ben64, I have the iso file in my download folder. what do I type to run md5sum?

Few bug reports look similar... but don't really give me a solution. http://paste.ubuntu.com/10778815/ === dex is now known as Guest6468 [02:41] Ben64 his issue doesnt seem to be the space, as his package manager understands what he is looking for, his issue is that the package has no installation candidate [02:41] AloeVera: i need the full command and error in a pastebin though [02:42] why do i need to waste time pastebining that when it just says wine1.7 has no installation candidate [02:42] seriously..... [02:42] because without following this first basic step, you'll never get anything done [02:42] you're spending way too much time fighting [02:42] Paste's are the key to happiness... [02:43] guest223944, if you did it correct, then there is a PPA problem we cant solve, contact the maintainer === erwin is now known as PHPLearner [02:44] guest223944 try to install wine1.7-dev it should pull in the normal wine1.7 as a dependancy [02:44] <[n0mad]> SirMoo, i'm pretty much new but i think you can try firefox -safemode and it will give an option to enter safe mode or reset based on some mozilla forum, could maybe try that [02:44] if not that then try to install either wine1.7-amd64 or wine1.7-i386 depending on 64 bit or 32 bit [02:45] or just go to softwarecenter > wine [02:45] <[n0mad]> if you don't want to reset your firefox, you may want smarter help than i can give :) [02:45] guest223944: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine1.7 # [02:45] [n0mad]: Seems to be the same result. :( [02:46] SirMoo: make sure firefox is not running, then rename ~/.mozilla to ~/.mozilla-foo or something, then start firefox again [02:48] I give up. I'm going to my windows machine to put 14.04 on a disk. [02:48] I recently modified my XFCE install to use KWIN as the window manager. this is awesome :) [02:48] Trfsrfr what is the issue? [02:49] Ben64: No change. [02:50] SirMoo: :( [02:50] AloeVera, I've tried twice now to burn the 14.04 iso image to a disk with brasero, both times it did not become a bootable disk [02:50] where am i? [02:50] Christian_Death: #ubuntu, the Ubuntu support channel [02:50] god [02:50] Trfsrfr what heppens when you try to boot it [02:50] Trfsrfr: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto ; http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/burn-a-dvd-on-windows . [02:50] i dont use ubuntu [02:50] D: [02:51] i am a microsoft heretic [02:51] :0 [02:51] AloeVera, it boots into my 13. 04 Os [02:51] Trfsrfr: are you sure you're not burning the file to the disc? [02:51] Ben64, yes, I've done it twice now. [02:51] Wait up, let me try something... [02:51] Trfsrfr try redownloading the iso, or try a different burner like xfburn or k3b [02:53] AloeVera, I tried installing k3b, and other programs, but since my 13.04 is EOL, I cannot install them. Gimme a sec, I'm gonna pop one of the 2 disks ive burned into my windows machine and see what happens [02:53] Oh. Minor success telling synaptic to reinstall... [02:53] SirMoo: minor? [02:53] Well, it started... Printing out similar errors. [02:53] Min [02:54] rekt [02:54] SirMoo: synaptic printed errors or the newly installed firefox [02:54] Ben64: Newly installed. Starting from the terminal came up with similar errors to my paste, just not seg fault. [02:55] SirMoo: thats really strange, have you rebooted since [02:56] AloeVera, Ben64, when I put the burned disk into my windows machine the autoplay install ubuntu or open to view files dialog box comes up. Been awhile since I used that machine [02:57] Trfsrfr: sounds like it burned properly then [02:57] Ben64: Yes. Just telling synaptic to 'reinstall' seems to have solved it. I'm going to chaulk it up to the update installing wrong. It's giving me the (process:6688): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' faile error... But that's better than segfault since it's running. :P [02:57] Ben64, right. But why when I put it in my 13.04 machine it doesn't boot? [02:57] Trfsrfr, sure your current 13.04 machine is 64 bit capable ? [02:58] OerHerks, I think so...pretty sure. Been running 64 bit for over a year now... [02:58] Trfsrfr: have you made cdrom boot first from bios? [02:59] Now that is a good question... [03:00] Trfsrfr: wouldn't harm to check just to make sure [03:00] I'm gonna restart. I'll be back in a few [03:03] whats up my niggaz [03:03] whats cracking [03:03] 613256 [03:03] just remember that number [03:03] will do [03:04] <[n0mad]> what's the number again? === squire is now known as Muddshark [03:04] !language | dima666 such insults are not welkcome, [03:04] dima666 such insults are not welkcome,: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English.

[03:17] and compare with windows [03:17] shafox: are they actually different? have you checked with speedtest.net or similar? [03:17] OerHeks: Not talking about led lights but rather the wifi icon that shows up while connected to the wifi. [03:18] elky: I have not tested with speedtest.net but it feels fast in windows. the response is instant in windows but in ubuntu it takes several seconds [03:18] shafox: connect it to a wire? [03:18] :) [03:19] I actually experienced something similar. [03:19] petrvs: that is the last solution. in the mean time i would like to try any other options that might have. [03:19] I switched from windows to Ubuntu and my wireless was behaving really poorly, then I moved my router closer and everything was solved. [03:20] jason__: that i am considering. and yes if i move close to router or vice cersa the signal strength increses and the browsing is fast [03:20] moving the antenna position can do some good to [03:20] shafox: is it dual boot or is it a different network card?

[03:29] random313495: I believe not, but I'm sure you could do it if you reaaalllllyyyy wanted [03:29] although just having a backup/snapshot would make it dead simple [03:30] in the end it's just data, you copy it around, and land somewhere [03:30] that somewhere can be an older version if you put forth enough effort/planning [03:30] downgrading in general, though, is a silly thing [03:30] random313495, no, there is no downgrade [03:30] "keep moving forward" and all that [03:31] okay, fresh install it is then [03:31] <[n0mad]> shafox https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1049466 [03:31] Launchpad bug 1049466 in linux (Ubuntu) "Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support" [Medium,Confirmed] [03:31] random313495: why's that? [03:32] Near as I can tell, 14.10 isn't compatible with my graphics card. [03:33] random313495: which card [03:33] It's an msi card with an nvidia 750ti. It works fine with 14.04, but but 14.10. [03:34] testing owncloud on ubuntu server 14.10 on a vm. Installed stock apache2 and moved the owncloud folder to /var/www. followed installation instructions on owncloud's site. I get the login screen and begin creating the admin account, but it says it can't write to /var/www/data. looked at a few forum posts but they seem to have to do with data dirs being placed on other drives/mounts. [03:34] [n0mad]: what should i do ? [03:34] random313495: should work on 14.10, just need the xorg-edgers ppa or something [03:38] [n0mad]: and i am on 14.04 btw. [03:39] ben64: I dount it. I've tried every driver I can find and this card just plain won't work under 14010. It's a quirky one. [03:39] I want to crack the handshake but can't afford to keep my pc woring at 100% cpu capacity for days. any suggestion? [03:39] does anyknow now where i could get a free VPS or something where i could run a bruteforce? as my pc is too weak [03:39] <[n0mad]> shafox, many in that thread are on 14.04. if you mouse over the listing for ubuntu at the top it shows just uploaded upstream like 2 weeks ago [03:39] random313495: you have to add the ppa [03:40] <[n0mad]> i'm still trying to see what the patch is everyone is referring to on there. i've never read launchpad before [03:40] Hey everyone! I'm setting up Samba right now and it's working great, I have the standard "share" directory w/ authentication. I also want to share a folder on a different drive. it is owned by evan:evan at /media/media/Music and when I view it from a Mac, the folder appears empty. I assume it's permissions? [03:42] kWO901, wrong channel, this is ubuntu support only.. [03:43] nevermind figured it out. [03:43] woot. [03:44] ben64, it isn't just a driver issue. I cant even get a recovery console working under 14.10. 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 10.04, 12.04, 12.10, and 14.04 all work well enough to get an X desktop. 14.10 doesn't work installed on HDD of from a LiveUSB. It isn't a bad download. 14.10 is just plainbroken. === Dhs92 is now known as Yukitteru [03:44] <[n0mad]> shafox, posts #177 and 178 appear to be the patch people are talking about for 14.04 [03:45] random313495: well i'd suggest sticking with 14.04 until 16.04 anyway === Yukitteru is now known as Yukkii [03:45] ok hey i just upload this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyqt9Fqn_6M to show u how my computer atcs on its own, its hard to explain and making a vid was the only kind of thing i could come up with [03:46] Ben64: I agree completely, just for different reasons. [03:46] Anyway, off to do a reinstall. Good night. [03:46] kris_, please stop cross posting in different channels. [03:47] yea kris_ what gives [03:47] i just rm'd my hard drive [03:47] help what do [03:47] i use xubuntu but i posted the same one here UBUNTU, cause its basaclisly the same not? [03:47] its gone [03:47] DatCholby: what'd you do exactly? [03:47] everything [03:48] did anyone just get visual artifacts lasting 3 seconds with firefox [03:48] 3 people I know just got it [03:48] DatCholby: what'd you run? [03:48] phillips1012: wasn't using firefox just then [03:48] rm / -rf [03:48] DatCholby: no you didn't [03:48] DatCholby: go joke elsewhere [03:48] it's as if the timestamp just bugged out and firefox noticed [03:49] DatCholby, posting malicious command will get you swatted ... bbye [03:49] forgot what cholby meant for a moment [03:49] phillips1012: the wha? [03:50] it's so easy to upgrade that joke, and yet they don't [03:52] hfm. [03:55] jmaradin: I know how you feel, man [04:04] so I have a weird situation, but what it boils down to is that I am trying to login a ubuntu server installation that I have installed what I believe to be gnome-desktop-environment on. When I try to launch the default gnome instance from lightdm, I am returned a blackscreen. [04:05] the Mate and fallback gnome interfaces will however work. [04:07] jmaradin: grep EE $(/var/log/Xorg*log | tail -1) | pastebinit [04:10] petrvs: looks like I am getting a permission denied on that commmand [04:11] jmaradin: grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log | tail -1 | pastebinit [04:11] does dash not do $()? [04:12] jmaradin: oh, ha [04:12] jmaradin: should've been $(ls /var/... [04:12] whoopsies [04:13] http://pastebin.com/F8Lm2mvP [04:13] ok that worked. [04:14] cute prompt [04:14] or is that pastebinit magic? Don't know it =) [04:15] vid just added https://youtu.be/apQkQcDpMkM [04:15] jmaradin: you have gnome-session? (which gnome-session)? [04:15] Oh its my prompt. [04:15] kris_: neato [04:15] part of zsh [04:16] 3.14 looks like. [04:16] jmaradin: I think I'd, um [04:16] jmaradin: make a new user to rule out some kind of home dir cache/config nonsense [04:16] I can try that. [04:17] kris_: maybe ask in #debian [04:17] it really is something weird for sure. [04:17] that seems to come up a lot in here, IME [04:17] ends up being ~/.cache or ~/.local [04:17] Also, I am not really running that session on that machinel.. [04:17] but you can just try with a spanking new user to find out quick if that'll be the issue [04:17] I am loading it over xdmcp to a windows box running Xming. [04:17] hrmmm, oh [04:18] yeah, hard to say [04:18] it wouldn't surprise me if GNOME 3's accelerated window manager and other things [04:18] if enabled [04:18] would choke on that [04:18] Its very very possible. [04:18] if you have another wm, you could tell it to use that (with gnome) and rule that out [04:19] Oh Mate worked.. [04:19] but... [04:19] or possibly just figure out how to disable accelerated/effects, if possible, I don't use GNOME =) [04:19] No Hidpi settings. [04:19] I doubt you need a GUI for hidpi settings, how often would you change that, once? [04:20] well mate worked, but everything was too small [04:20] I have 3 4k monitors in portrait resolution [04:20] gnome's hidpi stuff works, but only if I am using it. [04:21] I have ran linux directly on this machine before and it works quite well. I just normally am booted into windows on this machine as it also has some of my school software I need in windows on it. [04:21] gebus, you rich devil :p [04:22] I have a linux "server", really just a laptop that I don't use right now. [04:22] I'm sure you can get the dpi stuff working fine regardless, but I've no experience with that [04:22] Honestly, not so much. They were 475 on sale each. [04:22] * petrvs tries to remember the last time he had a spare $475 :p [04:22] for nice 27 inch ips lcd's [04:23] yah I know what you mean petrvs. My software dev internships paid well though :) [04:23] yah and same thing happened with another user. [04:24] To Ben64, AloeVera, and all the others especially the person with the long number name, thank you for all your help tonight. It took me changing the boot order in BIOS to get things going. I am now running 14.04, and so far all is good. Thank you all, and I love Ubuntu! [04:24] meh, Ill just do what I normally do. Putty plus sshfs ;) [04:25] mmm, sshfs [04:25] what's putty for? [04:25] in your use case [04:26] mostly so I can use vim [04:26] and compile, run stuff on the linux machine where I do all my dev work on. [04:26] oh, stuck in insane OS land? :) [04:26] Whoops, major typo. Thanks to Ben64, AloeVera, and person with the long number name, all good now! [04:26] yeah unfortunately with my desktop I am., [04:27] my work laptop is running ubuntu fully now. [04:27] know how you feel, sometimes [04:27] which makes me really happy. [04:27] I actually like keeping a windows machine around for gaming, as not all of my games are linux compatible yet anyhow. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [04:28] I don't game, I'm old and mean :) [04:28] I play life [04:28] plus my keyboard does not like linux for some reason [04:28] sure it does [04:28] its a corsair k70 rgb [04:29] <[n0mad]> my wallpaper says "life is a game" [04:29] Life is definitely a game. [04:29] looks colorful [04:29] [n0mad]: link? [04:29] looks like an ordinary 108 key otherwise [04:30] wall paper on my laptop == http://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=82484 [04:30] :p [04:31] I find wallpapers distracting, but [04:31] I like minimalist wallpapers for the most part [04:31] I do want to make a script that loads a different wikipedia commons picture of the year candidate every day [04:31] 'cause some of those are amazing, and not too distracting usually [04:31] <[n0mad]> it's this one http://wallpaperforcomputer.net/60583-life-is-a-game-wallpaper.html [04:31] particularly the nature ones [04:31] How do I bring all of my saved internet favorites into 14.04? [04:32] trfsrfr: from IE? [04:32] petrvs, no from 13.04 [04:32] trfsrfr: you do a clean install or what? [04:33] "clean" [04:33] petrvs, no I upgraded [04:33] trfsrfr: they're not there already? [04:33] nope [04:33] trfsrfr: what browser? [04:33] firefox [04:34] trfsrfr: du -hs ~/.mozilla/firefox/* | sort -h [04:34] if you have two profile dirs, the larger is likely your older one [04:34] Cool, gimme a min or two [04:35] the short way is to close firefox, then mv -n newprofile elsewhere; mv -n oldprofile newprofile [04:35] but you can also run firefox -ProfileManager [04:36] and point and click for ages [04:36] petrvs, I am not so savvy. before I upgraded I saved them to an external HD. [04:37] its a json file [04:37] trfsrfr: that's pretty savvy [04:37] petrvs, lol, thanks but I really dont know what im doing [04:38] I usually open firefox and open bookmarks, and export to an html file if I thought of it ahead of time [04:38] otherwise I just copy over the profile dir [04:38] <[n0mad]> i'm not a firefox user really but they don't have like chrome where all your bookmarks stay with your firefox user? [04:38] and that is the savvy that I am not [04:38] [n0mad]: yup, in the profile dir [04:39] unless you mean some chrome awfulness where all your personal data is on google servers :p [04:39] f that [04:39] trfsrfr: you only have .json files and not the whole profile, then? [04:39] Its just a json file on an external HD that I dont know how to get into my new firefox [04:40] trfsrfr: named what? [04:40] <[n0mad]> haha, yeah, like that...i figured firefox had that same ability so you can sync firefox between systems/mobile/etc [04:40] oh, yeah [04:40] internet bookmarks-201504-08.json [04:40] firefox sync [04:40] How do i connect to WPA with Ubuntu on a DLink DWL-520+ [04:40] it's opt-in [04:40] less awful things are opt-in [04:40] trfsrfr: eh, did you rename that? [04:41] yes [04:41] trfsrfr: what's 'file' say it is? [04:42] petrvs, you mean "file" in the unity bar? [04:42] trfsrfr: no, from a terminal, 'file path/to/foo.json' [04:42] you lost me [04:43] trfsrfr: know how to open a terminal? [04:43] yes [04:43] trfsrfr: nevermind, we'll just assume it's the right thing [04:43] petrvs, okay, lol [04:43] now what? [04:44] trfsrfr: open firefox, CTRL+SHIFT+o, Import and Backup, Restore [04:44] Ok, so it appears that the issue for me is that when I tried installing the gnome-desktop stuff on the ubuntu-server 14.04 install. I configured my actual work laptop to accept xdmcp connections and my normal stuff shows up on the desktop. Quite nicely too. [04:45] but when I copy those config files over to the "server" it does not work. Very weird. [04:45] trfsrfr: next time I'd backup the whole profile dir, it's not that much data [04:45] in fact the cost of storage these days, just backup all of /home/ [04:45] petrvs, you friggin rock! Thank you! [04:45] Oh well, I'm sure ill be reinstalling that server at some point. Ill make sure to install my DE at load time. [04:45] trfsrfr: =) [04:47] I wish I was as super cool as most of the peeps here. I already backed up everything prior to the upgrade, just needed the bookmarks. [04:47] ah, gj [04:47] super cool = thousands of lifetimes wasted [04:47] LOl, yes indeed. Well said.

[05:03] Why would a DLink DWL-520+ be crashing ubuntu (when connecting to router - no security on router)? [05:03] linocisco: the dyndns client will take care of that [05:03] six_: crashing? [05:03] yup [05:03] define [05:04] sends it "terminal" or whatever, cant use keyboard. [05:04] with a bunch of error messages [05:04] tried with Ubuntu 11.04 and 14.04 Live [05:08] morning/morgen [05:09] linocisco: you need to setup your network conneciton in vbox settings to get it's own ip from your router. Then you need to tell your router to forward all incoming web traffic (port 80) to the ip of the vbox guest [05:13] Looking to mimic a backup that was done through another service. I'm finding the following missing from tar --one-file-system --numeric-owner I see them both mentioned here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR Is there something additional I can add to tar to allow more support?

Just generic system updates or what? [06:30] gunndawg: those are kernel updates mate [06:31] ah ok [06:31] gunndawg: thats normal, and will need a reboot after [06:31] very well. thank you lotuspsychje [06:31] gunndawg: if you need anything on ubuntu just ask here :p [06:32] lotuspsychje: will do, thanks again bud. [06:32] no sweat === skip is now known as S|{ip [06:32] lotuspsychje: actually one more question. Does it matter if I use the Update Center or apt-get upgrade? both found 'em [06:33] gunndawg: you can do both ways: update icon, or sudo apt-get upgrade from terminal [06:33] lotuspsychje: so same results, gotcha. thank you [06:34] gunndawg: but automatic updates via the icon are handy, to know when new updates are available [06:35] gunndawg: the fastest way would be manually daily updates tru terminal, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade [06:36] lotuspsychje: that's what I tend to do, several times a day actually just incase something comes thru [06:36] is the update center just a GUI front end for apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? [06:36] gunndawg: well on ubuntu you are pretty safe default, more then daily updates are not requiered [06:37] Hi Guys, I'm after some help in configuring OpenSSHServer to run applications through to a SSH client (Putty on Windows). Enabled X11Forwarding yes in SSHD_config but receiveing Can't open display: localhost:10.0 [06:37] gunndawg: yes [06:37] !ssh | S|{ip [06:37] S|{ip: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [06:37] lotuspsychje: very well. [06:38] !sshd [06:38] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH. For setting up the SSH server, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html . Advanced SSH uses: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Advanced . For SSH client information, see !ssh . Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [06:41] Well that kernel update did something GREAT, though unexpected and cant make sense of it [06:41] gunndawg: what happened [06:42] lotuspsychje: I've never had GRUB come up and ask me if I want to boot to Windows 7(on a completely separate HDD), or Ubuntu. I've always had to go into BIOS and change the default boot drive. This makes it easier. But why would a kernel update suddenly present me with a GRUB loader? [06:43] gunndawg: you change dualboot Os loading with bios? [06:44] gunndawg: this is just why they invented grub to make things easier switch the Os you want to boot [06:44] lotuspsychje: I've changed nothing. If I ever needed Windows I'd just go into bios and change boot option #1 to my Windows 7 HDD, It's always just booted to my first Boot Device #1. Now GRUB loader actually asks me [06:45] lotuspsychje: I understand what its purpose is. What I'm trying to figure out is why all of a sudden its showing up? [06:45] I've been using this install of Ubuntu for about 3 weeks now and never once saw a GRUB loader until I re booted after that kernel update [06:45] gunndawg: did you try more then 1 reboot, sometimes it shows up an dissapears [06:45] no I only did the 1 reboot after the updates installed. [06:46] gunndawg: try another one first plz [06:46] will do, brb [06:46] maybe you pressed shift during boot, that would show the grubmenu [06:48] sure enough it came up again, I ddint press anything. I'm glad it does though, just not sure why ALL OF A SUDDEN, heh [06:48] gunndawg: then you might wanna edit grub then and sudo update-grub after and reboot [06:49] lotuspsychje: why? [06:49] gunndawg: to edit the grub timeout [06:49] so it doesnt show anymore [06:49] I told you that I want it to. I think its GREAT [06:49] I've wanted it to come up [06:49] but never had it [06:50] What I am trying to figure out is why it started to come up after that kernel update? I've always wanted it to come up, but it never has. Now after I update kernel it comes up [06:50] gunndawg: wait, you want a grub every boot? [06:51] lotuspsychje: It doesnt bother me. In the event I need to boot into another OS, it could be handy, unless you have a more efficient way? [06:51] I guess every reboot might be a bit much, what are the other options? [06:52] gunndawg: you make it all harder on yourself mate, with that bios trick [06:52] lotuspsychje: I agree, that's why I'm happy that GRUB comes up. I think we're not understanding each other [06:52] gunndawg: the way i would do this, is edit grub to 2sec and edit grub to load your Os you want [06:52] gunndawg: if you still want, the other Os you still got 2sec [06:53] alright, how would I go about editing grub? [06:54] !grub | gunndawg [06:54] gunndawg: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [06:54] so sudo into etc/default/grub [06:54] I"ll look around [06:55] gunndawg: and sudo update-grub after you edit [06:56] lotuspsychje: so it's the Hidden_timeout I want to set, right? [06:56] its currently at 0 [06:57] gunndawg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/148095/how-do-i-set-the-grub-timeout-and-the-grub-default-boot-entry [06:58] alright thanks === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [06:59] lotuspsychje: Now if I can only get the Plymouth animation and login box/screen to appear on my primary monitor once booted I'll be set (until the next issues), heh [07:01] Hello [07:01] I have to PCs having nvidia gtx 750 ti [07:02] I installed nvidia-346 on both [07:02] On my xubuntu everything went ok, but when I want to update, it wants to update ~80MBs [07:03] I am sure that most those updates are from xorg-edgers PPA [07:03] I want to know whether those updates may be dangerous and unstable? [07:04] And what could I do to not update anything else from xorg-edgers PPA except nvidia drivers? [07:04] Any reconmendations of a file manager application to run on X over SSH ? [07:04] remove the PPA? [07:04] gunndawg, Hmmm. yeah, simple idea [07:05] gunndawg, If I remove the PPA and ubuntu update its kernel, is it possible to I encouter problem? [07:05] digitsm, why would updates be bad? [07:05] Hello OerHeks. Nice to chat you! [07:06] and currently there are a lot of updates, firefox, kernel, and more [07:06] OerHeks, Because xorg-edgers is on the edges. So it's not stable any more [07:07] OerHeks, I installed 14.04.1 LTS to become stable [07:07] I am an android developer, and doesn't have time to correct problems made by updates in the future [07:07] does any knows why this doesnt work for me? http://askubuntu.com/questions/53119/how-do-i-kill-a-locked-ssh-session [07:07] <[Saint]> LTS != "stable" [07:07] <[Saint]> People need to learn that. [07:07] current is 14.04.2 so you might get more updates. [07:08] [Saint], But debian stable (wheezy) has very old packages. I can't use that for development [07:08] digitsm: what is your actual issue [07:09] Ben64, Hello ben [07:09] <[Saint]> pebcak [07:09] <[Saint]> in a word. [07:09] MadLamb, did you try "~. [enter] " too ? [07:09] histo, ? [07:09] linocisco: ? [07:09] OerHeks, yes, i hit enter and nothing happens. the terminal is completely frozen [07:09] What's a good tool for diagnosing my connection? I've currently downloading tweets from twitters api, but everytime after several thousand have been downloaded my node app just stops. How can i troubleshoot this? [07:10] histo,I am now installing ubuntu server and now at the stage of tasksel [07:10] (other websites are still accessible, despite the the download stream stopping) [07:10] linocisco: if you don't have access to the router to forward web traffic to the vm or whatever machine you choose. You are going no where. [07:10] histo, i selected only openssh server, and LAMP. is it enough to install webserver? [07:10] <[Saint]> basichash: that doesn't sound like your issue - that sounds like rate limiting. [07:10] OerHeks, oh it just unfrozen now. I'm not sure it was because of me issuing commands or something else. ill try again next time. thx anyway. [07:10] linocisco: yes but see my previous comments about forwarding the traffic via the router. [07:11] linocisco: how is the outside world going to get to this box? [07:12] histo, myname.ddns.net is working [07:12] histo, using local ip [07:12] Ben64, I have many issues: 1. I want to become stable, I fear future updates (not related to nvidia) may break my ubuntu in the future. 2. I have to connect to internet through VPN, and by using that VPN connecting to PPA get very slow. Last night I partially updated my second ubuntu (unity) after installing nvidia driver on it, and boom, it doesn't boot any more 3. I nuked my second ubuntu (unity). I have btrfs snapshot of a correct state, but I can't eve [07:12] n boot to linux to roll back to it [07:12] linocisco: right which hits the router but not the box behind it right [07:12] Ben64, By future updates I mean those from xorg-edgers [07:13] linocisco: you need to tell the router to forward web traffic to the internal ip of server [07:13] histo, no. it hits until my Host machine that host my Virtual Ubutu server guest [07:13] linocisco: setup virtualbox to pull another ip on the guest. Bridged connection under networking [07:13] [Saint]: ah got you [07:13] histo, yes. i did already [07:14] digitsm: 1. updates are good 2. then don't use the vpn? 3. btrfs is not really the best choice [07:14] linocisco: then why would the web traffic be hitting your host? [07:14] [Saint]: the thing is though, that if i restart the application then it continues downloaded without any issues [07:14] linocisco: you need to port forward 80 to your guest's ip [07:15] histo, installation of ubuntu webserver is still not finished. now installing grub [07:15] loader [07:15] <[Saint]> basichash: it would get a new response code then, and be a "new" session, no? [07:16] <[Saint]> basichash: IIRC I hit a rate limiting snafu with Twitter a while back, but I can't recall offhand if there's easily googleable limits definied. [07:16] [Saint]: if that's the case, is there a way to automate the restarting of my app when it hits that limit? [07:16] <[Saint]> From memory rate limits get evaluated on a case-by-case basis, so I may be marking up the wrong tree. [07:17] <[Saint]> *barking, even. [07:17] <[Saint]> lets see what Twitter has to say. [07:17] <[Saint]> https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/rate-limiting [07:17] Ben64, 1. Once I updated to kernel 3.16 and I couldn't install nvidia driver on it anymore. For a developer updates are not necessarily good 2. I don't have any other choice than VPN now! 3. I know ext4 adn xfs are more stable than btrfs, but because I am a developer, sometime I install so much packages and many configs. I feel safe by snapshot feature of btrfs [07:17] <[Saint]> Hmmm, rather bland and nondescript. [07:18] digitsm: no, updates are definitely always good. as a developer, you should be concerned with security, updates bring security [07:18] linocisco: you can install whatever you want. but if you don't have access to the router good luck. [07:19] hey [07:19] <[Saint]> digitsm: pro tip - also as a developer: === ubuntu is now known as Guest43238 [07:19] <[Saint]> Do NOT, EVER store ANYTHING you care about on BTRFS> [07:20] <[Saint]> like, ...ever. [07:20] <[Saint]> If you give a crap about your data, and don't want to keep countless offsite backups, BTRFS is not your friend. === Guest43238 is now known as deadmau5 [07:21] <[Saint]> In time, this will hopefully change. However, we're not there yet. [07:21] <[Saint]> We're not even close. [07:21] sup [07:21] [Saint]: so are there no rate limits for the streaming api: "without having to worry about polling or REST API rate limits" -> tps://dev.twitter.com/streaming/public [07:22] borrrrrrriinngg [07:23] i like linux chat better [07:23] <[Saint]> Oh ohhh, edgy techno name guy thinks we're boring. [07:24] hi all , i have configured static network address under /etc/network/interface but it is not updated using /etc/init.d/networking restart and ip addr [07:24] what do I do? [07:24] Comes to a support chat, says it's boring *facepalm* [07:26] hello all [07:26] how to upgade individual packages ? [07:26] upgrade+ [07:26] I tried aptitude upgrade package-name, apt-get -u . it doesn't work [07:26] Haris: `sudo apt-get install foo` will update the package `foo` to the latest version [07:27] ah ok [07:27] <[Saint]> "apt-get install --only-upgrade $package_name_here" [07:28] anyone here involved with big data? [07:28] * [Saint] points out Flannel isn't wrong either, and neither is he, it's just two different "right"s. [07:28] basichash: big data? [07:28] <[Saint]> Haris: I'll point out the difference, though, as there is one. [07:28] linocisco: is this on a desktop? [07:29] histo: analysing large datasets [07:29] histo, no server [07:29] <[Saint]> My version will *only* upgrade that package. [07:29] basichash: whats your question [07:29] <[Saint]> Flannel's version will install new packages as well. [07:29] <[Saint]> like new recommends, etc. not necessarily required. [07:30] linocisco: do you have dhcp-client installed? [07:30] what 3 keys do I have to press to change the application I am using? [07:30] or the active window [07:31] ctrl alt caps? [07:31] histo, how can I check? [07:31] <[Saint]> this one, that one, and the other one. [07:31] BBLLCC: alt+tab ? or am i reading your question wrong [07:31] histo, i m getting auto dhcp ip [07:31] linocisco: dpkg -l | grep dhcp [07:31] histo, but I have changed in inteface file manually [07:31] thanks Ben64 [07:32] histo, yes. i have [07:32] linocisco: pastebin your interfaces file [07:32] histo: i want to get into big data / machine learning / dat analysis.

[07:37] [Saint], What if I break my root? [07:37] Isn't btrfs better for having snapshots? [07:40] [Saint], On my broken btrfs ubuntu installation my btrfs file system and snapshots are completely healthy. The only problem is that grub can't find the btrfs root [07:42] histo, i rebooted. now ok === AlphaTech is now known as zz_AlphaTech [07:45] how can one see a list of packages on a repo ?

[10:03] and selinux is disabled on this box [10:03] *sigh*, what does third party repo stuff have to do with ntp, which comes from ubuntu not being able to access a library, which is also not related [10:04] hi. using nvidia-settings, i set the preferred res, save to xorg.conf, verify that the config file has been written, reboot, and the changes do not take effect. so to clarify, any customised settings revert to defaults on restart, even though the new xorg.conf is intact. here's the xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/iupYhprU - does it look ok to you? all i want is to set res to 1360x768 [10:04] Haris cassandra_2.0.14 is over a year old .. [10:04] installing cassandra from datastax debian repo does not break ubuntu [10:04] can anyone help me out wih KVM issues? [10:04] OerHeks: Yes, its old. but ubuntu is LTS [10:04] and is not broken [10:04] Haris, seems to break the install, no ? [10:04] how ? [10:05] ntp can't access a library on this box. its a permissions issue as the log msg says [10:05] something related to selinux or the like [10:05] nothing from base is in conflict [10:06] Haris: apt-cache policy ntp [10:06] OerHeks: cassandra 2.0.14 is *the stable* release. [10:06] And it's recommended for use in production environments. [10:06] http://pastebin.ca/2969766 [10:06] i have a small problem. i am trying to assign a qemu vm with a static ip.

[10:10] what special setup? [10:10] ? [10:11] how can I allow ntp file_mmap operation on this box ? [10:11] that's the Q [10:11] no the question is what did you change to your setup to get that issue? [10:12] I just installed cassandra 2.0.14 and dsc20 (datastax community version) [10:12] even if I uninstall them, I suspect this won't change a thing [10:12] it has nothing to do with ntp not being able to access a library and be able to do its work [10:13] is there a way to check consistency of package db [10:13] or something, to make sure it is in consistent state [10:13] Hey folks, Linux noob here.

[10:27] DazPetty, as you obviously know how to break your system, you didn't need to ask the question. anything else?

[11:37] 14 years of work experience [11:37] by hand [11:37] and some little reading [11:38] I just ask too many dumb Qs [11:39] because of little reading [11:39] there are no dumb questions Haris :) [11:40] The question itself is not dumb. [11:40] The person asking it might be. [11:40] ntp is the only thing that failed, in the Setting up... \nInstalling new version... stage [11:41] all the rest seems to have gone well [11:43] Hi. I'm using Chrome on Ubuntu Gnome, I minimized Chrome window and got white strip on desktop. Then I restored Chrome window and now it freezed. When I'm clicking right mouse button it's not responding, I can't neither close nor create new tab in Chrome. [11:43] Eightynine: killing the gnome process might help. [11:43] for keeping /etc/sudoers in upgrade, what's the difference between N and O ? [11:43] Eightynine, open the tasksmanager of your distro and kill the process [11:43] Haris: did you modify the file? [11:43] It's Gnome's issue? [11:44] its been modified [11:44] Eightynine: could be gnome, gpu drivers, and chrome at the same time. [11:44] it might be hanging for a large ammount of reasons.. if it happens again it might be an issue.. otherwise.. your ok.. :) [11:44] I'v kept the local version. can install the package maintainer's version anytime [11:44] Haris: then you don't want to replace it. [11:44] =) [11:44] I have a Wacom tablet, and my computer Kernel Panics when I plug it in, complete with the caps light blinking [11:45] does ubuntu prefer -run over -sysvinit ? [11:45] Haris: what? [11:45] A few minutes ago Chrome said that tab with forum page is not responding and asked to close it. I declined it. [11:46] run scripts, /service in comparison to sysvinit ( /etc/init.d/... files) [11:46] thexenith i had kernel panic after manually upgrading kernel 3.13 to 1.16 on ubuntu 14.04... tell us what you did prior to the kernel panic [11:46] Eightynine: need to kill all the processes. [11:46] Haris: the upstart services are preferred. [11:46] Though sysvinit should work too. [11:46] Eightynine.. kill the chrome processes and launch gnome again.. then see if the problem returns.. [11:46] to 3.16* [11:46] what's upstart [11:46] !upstart [11:46] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:47] ah ok [11:47] Sometimes Chrome freezes when working with social networking pages or begins to lag. [11:47] Haris: systemd is taking over [11:47] Yes. [11:47] But only for ubuntu 15.04+ [11:47] yep [11:47] systemd is total crap. Why not use Upstart? [11:47] the upgrade, at the end says .. grub failed to install to /dev/sda. Can I make it work or do I have to let it go, at this point ? [11:48] Eightynine: systemd works here. No complaints so far. [11:48] not having read into systemd, I'm ok right now [11:48] the decision has been made. systemd is the future. deal with it. [11:48] Sometimes it has problems with starting/killing services. [11:48] Not here. [11:48] Works flawlessly. [11:48] writing grub to boot device failed, continue ? [11:48] yes/no ? [11:49] (Haven't tested ubuntu) [11:49] Haris: you can continue and install it manually if you know how to do that. [11:49] I'm using LTS version, why it comes with kernel 3.16 which is deprecated and not LTS kernel like 3.14 or 3.18? [11:49] actually, I don't :P [11:49] is there an article/doc on it ? [11:49] !kernel [11:49] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [11:50] hmm [11:50] not what I expected to see [11:50] Hey guys [11:50] I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extra thing and it installed fonts on my system that are smaller and hurt my eye, how can I revert this? [11:50] I'm in pain :( [11:50] What about my question abount kernels? [11:50] Eightynine: 3.16 is still supported and patched in ubuntu. [11:51] The fixes are being backported from newer kernels. [11:51] amazed at how many threads for discussing after => "do-release-upgrade manually install grub" [11:52] on google [11:52] threads = search resutls [11:52] Eightynine, what? kernel 3.16 deprecated ? [11:52] PCatinean: did it change your font? where? [11:52] I like Gnome's Activities menu but I hate that after updating all software to 3.10 or 3.12 maximize and mimimize buttons disappeared in stock Gnome software(I mean Gedit etc). What can I use? KDE is crap, others are ancient. [11:52] Eightynine, what makes you think that? [11:53] Check kernel.org site. [11:53] TheNumb, no I did not "install" anything except the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-resricted-extras and then I saw it install new fonts [11:53] Eightynine: it doesn't work that way in ubuntu. [11:53] and now I got small and painfull fonts everywhere [11:53] Web browser etc... [11:53] Eightynine, well, go for kernel 4.0 then ... [11:53] PCatinean: try removing ttf-mscorefonts-installer [11:53] Anyone has any input on why ubuntu tells me "Network Manager is not running" ? [11:54] TheNumb, are you SURE?! [11:54] chotaz`w: is it running? [11:54] Logically in LTS distro must be LTS kernel. Am I right? [11:54] Eightynine: no. [11:54] http://hastebin.com/afuvofuyak.vhdl [11:54] TheNumb, shouldn't it be? Since I'm here? [11:54] chotaz`w: not necessarily. [11:54] dhcpcd/dhclient might be running [11:55] I killed Chrome and that strip disappeared but now my desktop began to lag. [11:55] TheNumb, so? [11:55] PCatinean: doooeeeeet [11:55] TheNumb, also when I go to Startup Applications, both "Network Manager" and "Network Manager(MATE)" are there. [11:55] concerned about the linux header images thing [11:55] chotaz`w: which version of ubuntu mate are you running? [11:55] ok, now what? [11:55] 14.10 [11:56] chotaz`w: guys over at #ubuntu-mate might be more helpful in that case. [11:56] After updating to 3.12 package manager asked me to remove packages that not needed anymore(3.10 packages). I did it and Software update manager disappeared. How to fix this? [11:56] PCatinean: relog [11:57] Eightynine: did you install gnome from the testing ppa? [11:57] PCatinean, restricted extra's installs some ms ttf fonts, i don't think it changes your whole system. [11:57] I have Gnome stable and staging repos. [11:57] OerHeks: web browser will prefer the actual microsoft fonts for some reason. [11:57] Eightynine: don't do that. [11:57] Eightynine: packages in those ppas are broken. [11:57] Remove them and downgrade? [11:58] PCatinean: how did it go? [11:58] I...THINK it's back to normal, should have made a damn screenshot! [11:58] ^^ [11:58] Also my fonts are not so good as I expected from Ubuntu. [11:58] Eightynine: what did you expect? [11:59] what's the bash command to change the keyboard layout, again? [11:59] hi please can someone help me with driver for touchpad on Acer P256-M? [11:59] I think it's okay, what was that crap TheNumb ? :O [11:59] Seems like aliasing is not working good. [11:59] PCatinean: most likely. [11:59] I can see pixels. [11:59] Eightynine: to make sure run gnome-tweak-tool [12:00] and check the fonts tab [12:00] thanks TheNumb , i've directed my problem there :) [12:00] chotaz`w: yw :_ [12:00] :) [12:00] Gnome took 759 MB RAM and CPU loading is up to 15%. Is this Gnome's problem? [12:01] yup [12:01] Similar results here. [12:01] Though it's gotten better in gnome 3.16 [12:01] It's snappier etc etc [12:02] Gnome really jumped the shark [12:02] hello all on channel, I found this : http://pastebin.com/TLmNfseW so should I presume that I can be hacked any moment? [12:02] I don't remember what distro I used but after updating from 3.10 to 3.12 it began to work much better. [12:02] this box is in a local DC which is 15 mins drive away [12:02] grub install failed [12:03] hello, I am on ubuntu 12.10 desktop, and I need the latest postgresql. how can i do that without a dist upgrade [12:03] after rebooting it, can I manually get it work ? [12:03] I mean does ubuntu have a repair mode I can boot it into [12:03] via a usb [12:03] to re-config grub [12:03] cambazz, upgrade, thats not supported here [12:03] i have installed ubuntu on my laptop but touchpad is detected only as left button => no right button or multi finger support i have tryed reinstaling synaptic drivers and everyting but its not working :( please can someone help me? === soee_ is now known as soee [12:04] !eolupgrade | cambazz [12:04] cambazz: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:04] you could load a live envirement and edit grub using utilities that way Haris [12:04] uhw29: if you run this script with root privileges then probably. I've only skimmed through. [12:04] uhw29: looks like the url no longer works though [12:05] I just hope, I can make this box to boot. I think this is a vmware VM. its hdd is not something I could access physically if it wasn't booting [12:05] hey hey [12:05] TheNumb, but it is about hacking the root privilege itself, isn't it? [12:05] no [12:05] everything ok thus far, accept for ntp and grub failure [12:05] aka install a distro-live on a pendrive, boot from it select "try" or something similar ( distro Dependant ) and use some preffered grub tool ( or manually if you feel up to it) ( you can always load a vhd as a second drive in vmware.. ) [12:06] uhw29: if your kernel is up to date you've got nothing to worry about. [12:07] I have a question, I have a folder with around 40000 files and I would want to know how many of those files contain a special string, how do I do that? [12:07] So, if Gnome "jumped the shark" as you said, what can I do? [12:07] TheNumb, I run updates as they come. if that does it, fine. [12:07] accept = except [12:07] uhw29: also, looks like the script is not complete. [12:07] Hi, I accidentally deleted /usr/share/locale. what is the best way to put files back in? [12:07] JackMayol: use grep, ack or ag [12:07] Eightynine, thats not a support question [12:08] mcphail ya I was thinking to do it with grep but how exactly? [12:08] Eightynine: either wait for 15.10 to come or check out other distributions. [12:08] TheNumb, thank you for informing me on this. [12:08] Why Ubuntu developers wrote tools on Python? Those tools working slow and consume too much resources. [12:08] I mean I can do a grep - string *.profile but that will list all the results instead of a number of how many files have this string [12:09] JackMayol: grep -c is count [12:09] What works better? open-source driver or fglrx? [12:09] SchrodingersScat ah ok [12:09] Eightynine: /j #ubuntu-offtopic [12:09] Eightynine: this is a support channel [12:09] OK!. Upgraded to VERSION="14.04.2 LTS, Trusty Tahr" [12:09] And what about tools? [12:09] Eightynine: not general questions channel. [12:10] Eightynine: that applies to both of your questions. [12:10] but with errors. do-release-upgrade doesn't run anymore [12:10] SchrodingersScat: I think that will count a file multiple times if there are multiple matches [12:10] now to reboot :P [12:10] Haris: try running apt-get install -f first [12:10] see if there's any output [12:11] i tend to do updates with `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade`. when i last done this, mailman brought up a little window in my CLI to pick a language. however it just wouldn't progress past the first window so i hit ctrl-c. however `apt-get upgrade` now hangs after "Looking for enabled languages (this may take some time) ... done." [12:11] any ideas how i can fix this? [12:12] danbower^work: are you sure it was mailman? [12:12] pretty sure (this is a dev box) [12:12] JackMayol: better to use grep -r to recursively search files under a directory than include "*" globs which break if the filenames contain spaces [12:12] mcphail JackMayol : it lists the file name that matches and the number of matches, so you could pipe it into | wc -l and get the number of files. [12:12] danbower^work: in that case you could try running dpkg-reconfigure mailman [12:12] SchrodingersScat: you should use grep -l | wc -l [12:12] danbower^work: sidenote - personally, i'd suggest "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade" as your general upgrade steps (to update everything, including kernel) but YMMV [12:13] http://pastebin.ca/2969809 [12:13] ok thanks TheNumb. [12:13] SchrodingersScat: that way you only count wach file once [12:13] i'll keep that in mind zykotick9, thank you [12:13] *each [12:14] mcphail: same result as -c [12:14] mcphail SchrodingersScat : at the end I just need a number output, not all the files listed [12:14] like 1000 (which would be the number of the *.profile files including the string I am looking for) [12:14] JackMayol: so grep -l or grep -c pattern list | wc -l [12:15] TheNumb, that command returns "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mailman is broken or not fully installed." :/ [12:15] where is grub.conf or grub.cfg on 14.x LTS ? [12:15] Haris: try /boot/grub/ [12:16] * Haris smacks forehead .. ofcourse [12:16] Haris: note, you _might_ actually be looking for /etc/default/grub however! [12:16] that too [12:17] SchrodingersScat I get grep: list: No such file or directory [12:17] 0 [12:17] danbower^work: dpkg configure -a [12:17] when doing grep -c pattern list | wc -l [12:17] sorry I am not the most advanced linux user :) [12:17] danbower^work: err --configure [12:18] Hey, is this backbox's real channel? [12:18] for upgrading from trusty to utopic "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "aptitude full-upgrade"? [12:18] olle: what? [12:18] swizgard_: neither! [12:18] swizgard_: desktop? server? [12:18] TheNumb: desktop [12:18] update-manager [12:18] i see [12:18] need to pass -d for upgrade to utopic [12:18] no waut [12:18] swizgard_: fyi, dist-upgrade and full-upgrade are actually the same. and neither will take you to a new release. [12:19] don't add -d [12:19] ugh [12:19] TheNumb, thats not correct [12:19] derped [12:19] nothing of consequence in /etc/default/grub [12:19] bazhang: yeah, I realized that. [12:19] Too much time off ubuntu space :( [12:19] zykotick9: if i change the sources.list's first, they will [12:19] but i will try update-manager [12:20] swizgard_: oh, well, that _is_ different. but NOT the recommended ubuntu-way... [12:20] swizgard_: an upgrade is more complicated that just changing the sources.list [12:20] *than [12:20] but only "update-mime" is installed [12:20] !upgrade [12:20] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [12:20] thanks TheNumb. it's actually hanging after "Looking for enabled languages (this may take some time) ... done." with that command too. i have left it for an hour or so, it doesn't progress :/ [12:20] what's grub-pc ? [12:21] danbower^work: have you tried regenerating the locales? [12:21] State: partially configured [12:21] TheNumb, no i haven't. not too sure how to do that [12:22] a box can boot without grub-pc or with it having been in partially configured state, right ? [12:22] after a do-release-upgrade [12:22] (ah, kubuntu does use muon update manager...) [12:22] danbower^work: did you remove /usr/share/locale ? [12:22] or /usr/share/locales [12:22] ah well ... rebooting [12:22] do I need to reboot ? [12:23] Haris: you do. [12:23] You should reboot after an upgrade. [12:23] TheNumb, nope. i only killed the install once i got stuck in that mailman window [12:24] s/install/upgrade [12:24] http://pastebin.ca/2969815 [12:24] Haris: re: reboot and grub. i would check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the kernels/ramdisks which are linked there [12:25] swizgard_: he said it's a vmware vm. [12:26] danbower^work: does it actually finish looking? [12:26] the kernel, initrd files exist === thomas_ is now known as Guest52208 [12:27] I'm jut worrying if grub will work [12:27] TheNumb, nah i've left it for ages mate [12:27] hmm [12:27] a previous version of kernel, initrd also exist. I shoudl not worry [12:27] should+ [12:28] TheNumb: sorry, didn't read [12:29] i'm actually using virtualmin on this dev box. perhaps it'd be better if i ask in the relevant channel for that [12:29] danbower^work: try running apt-get install -f [12:29] dont forget to sudo! :) [12:30] nah [12:30] real men work on root accounts ;p [12:30] true lol [12:30] TheNumb: stupid statement [12:30] TheNumb, unfortunately that still results in the "Looking for enabled languages (this may take some time) ... done." then hanging [12:30] amusing though [12:30] stupid and sexist [12:30] TheNumb. how would i make my account root by default? [12:30] sudo su [12:31] no, don't ever run that [12:31] daftykins: just joking ;p [12:31] it's sudo -i or -s [12:31] daftykins i do not think it is sexist [12:31] danbower^work: I'm out of ideas, sorry :( [12:31] no worries, really appreciate the help anyway :) thanks [12:31] davevanloo: why do you want to do that? [12:31] davevanloo: good for you :) [12:32] even after do-release-upgade, when I login as root on console, it says 492 packages can be updated [12:32] o_O [12:32] i would preffer not to have to sudo.., mainly as a usefull thing.. being in root by default.. is usefull.. understanding the security risks it might bring daftykins [12:32] davevanloo: you 100% missed the point [12:33] daftykins: ooh.. then please explain :) [12:33] nah we're beyond that now. back to support thanks [12:33] how do i change the keyboard layout in the latest version of ubuntu? [12:33] i don't have the icon in the systray [12:34] and system settings only has "language support" and nothing there about changing keyboard layout [12:34] well my support question was"how can i set my user account to be root by default, aka no more sudo-ing needed" [12:34] There are dumbfucks and trolls on that channel. What about my problem with Gnome? [12:34] the only thing i see is "keyboard input method system" [12:34] !language Eightynine pretty sure we've warned you about using language in here before :) [12:34] daftykins: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:34] in all seriousness davevanloo, lurking as root isn't wise [12:34] bah typo [12:34] !language | Eightynine pretty sure we've warned you about using language in here before :) [12:34] Eightynine pretty sure we've warned you about using language in here before :): The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [12:34] davevanloo: We don't support that. [12:34] Eightynine: we gave you an answere on what to do.., kill all chrome process and watch to see if you can reproduce.. and how it comes to that [12:35] davevanloo: yeah you need to just get used to using 'sudo -i' or similar. [12:35] may I know , what's the different between clone and backup on ubuntu ? example tar -cvpzf backup.tar.gz vs dd if=/ of=/ ? [12:35] nbusrone: one is archiving, one is disk imaging [12:35] danbower^work and geirha " ok then, thank you.., i am used to using sudo.., and i understand the security risks. so also why it would be stupid to do so.. :)" [12:35] vastly different actions [12:36] I killed it and launched again. I have no Software update manager.It's not handy to update using terminal [12:36] davevanloo, well if you mistype an rm -rf command you'll feel the pain [12:36] or if you run steam ... [12:36] danbower^work "ooh hell yes! :P" [12:36] wait.. run steam? [12:36] why would i be in pain for running steam.. as sudo? [12:37] Eightynine: you can install an software update manager to your liking.. and yes.. using a terminal just that one time.. o.O [12:37] because they had a bug a bit ago which wipes your system [12:37] daftykins: steam for linux had a bug ... a shell script relied on "$0", and used an rm -rf later on ... which ended up as rm -rf / [12:37] daftykins : but would it be the same ? sorry new to ubuntu . [12:37] geirha: tab complete fail. [12:37] in some circumstances [12:37] dang.. :P [12:37] since $0 is unreliable [12:38] oh wow [12:38] :D [12:38] nbusrone: same as what? both are bad ways of backup [12:38] How to install it? [12:39] Eightynine install what? [12:39] Update manager. [12:39] "a" software update manager correct? [12:40] Eightynine it should be there by default, unless you deleted it [12:40] Of course. English is not my native but even I know that there was a mistake. [12:40] i think sudo apt-get install update-manager and yes.. it should only be needed if you deleted it before yourself.. as nearly all distro's come with one.. [12:40] Package manager deleted one of them during update. [12:41] then try sudo apt-get install update-manager it should tell you if its already there.. or install it.. [12:41] Eightynine that doesnt make sense [12:42] Maybe there's upgrade manager too? It says I already have update-manager. [12:43] then it did not get installed.. and it should still be avaible.. if you cannot find it in your shell.. simply run update-manager in a terminal [12:43] un-installed* [12:43] how to check if a service will auto start on next boot or not ? [12:44] there's no chkconfig I believe [12:44] services.msc! [12:44] * davevanloo hides in a corner [12:45] sorry hehe, it just popped in my mind :), in a serious note.. http://www.linuxtopia.org/HowToGuides/services.html might help you.. :) [12:45] I think there were two managers: an update manager which updates libs and docs, etc and upgrade manager which updates system and software, I lost second one. [12:47] Haris this makes all startup services visible, you can then easily enable/disable them sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [12:47] So what? [12:48] Eightynine: well repeat the same process as you did with update manager, i do not know for certain if they are different though.. did you even try what i suggested? [12:49] Yes, it didn't help. I'm using russian version and don't know how that manager called in english. [12:50] I'll try to translate, one was Update applications and the second was Update software or Software update. [12:50] perhaps the channel #ubuntu-ru could give you more specific information then? i am uncertain though if program/package names change with language though [12:51] running software from the terminal is done using package names, and not using "translated" names like you might find in the general config pannel of your shell [12:52] so triggering apt-get install upgrade-manager ( if it exists and is not part of update-manager ) should have been sufficient.. [12:52] Can you please check if you have those programms installed? [12:52] will do [12:53] negative, upgrade-manager does not exist on my install [12:53] update-manager does.. [12:53] Usually I couldn't get answers on russian channels. [12:54] in a terminal type update-manager it should bring up the update manager and allow you to update ( you could say that is "upgrade" ) [12:55] It launches Update applications [12:55] Eightynine: yes.. so you have all the software needed to "upgrade" [12:56] if any one else would like to jump in and help Eightynine out further.. i need to go afk for a little while [12:56] Good luck [13:01] Entered russian channel and asked. [13:02] daftykins : which method is the best for backup ? [13:02] Am I missing something painfully obvious when creating a symbolic link to a directory? ln -s /source/directory/foo /target/directory/ [13:02] cd target/directory/foo "no such file or directory" [13:02] file target/directory/foo - broken symbolic link to source/directory/foo [13:02] file source/directory/foo: directory [13:03] daftykins : actually , my intention wasn't just backup.I wanted to move my Ubuntu 14.04 installed on sda4 extended partition to my sda2 primary partition. [13:03] hello, i need your help guys [13:03] foo I would not want to be you in this channel [13:03] nbusrone: no that sounds like a very messy attempt [13:04] Nobody is responding there. [13:04] Rory: i'd suggest "cd /target/directory && ln -s /source/directory/foo" [13:04] morning [13:04] Eightynine: not our concern. [13:05] OK zykotick9 I will try that [13:05] daftykins : :( , guess only clean install my final option [13:05] i have lubuntu on my netbook, i just loaded and the screen shows a very small desktop [13:05] Rory: that trailing / on /target/directory/ may be causing issue... i think it expect an entire name so /target/directory/foo [13:05] is not the resolution, but the watchable area [13:05] Thanks zykotick9 that worked - I think it's to do with relative path names [13:06] how i can reset the screen area? [13:07] how i can reset the screen area? thank you [13:07] nbusrone: not until you explain the full situation right from the beginning :) and to the channel, as i'm going to enjoy the sunshine [13:08] how i can reset the screen area? thank you [13:09] ubuntu754: What do you mean by "reset the screen area" ? [13:09] ubuntu754 idd, not sure what you mean... try arandr [13:09] @rory i mean that the resolution is ok but the watchable area is like 800x600 [13:10] ubuntu754: MonkeyDust's suggestion of arandr is a good one, then. use the command "sudo apt-get -y install arandr" to install it, and then run it with "arandr" - you will see a graphical interfact to drag and arrange monitors [13:10] ubuntu754 is that a laptop or a desktop? if it's a desktop, try the buttons on your monitor [13:13] the VM is booting. I was wrong to worry about anything [13:13] I need to chown a directory - I'm just wondering if this is the right command given the user vco : sudo chown -R vco:vco/home/vco/Android [13:14] Why aptitude is not available in Ubuntu, [13:14] Eightynine: apt-get is the standard cli tool [13:14] Has there been a grub-related update in the past 48 hours? [13:14] Haris vmware ot vbox? [13:15] Haris vmware or vbox? [13:15] vmware [13:15] baxx: do a space between vco and /home [13:15] k1l: cool cheers :) [13:17] Haris in case you use virtual machines alot, take a look at Vagrant https://docs.vagrantup.com/ [13:17] Hi there, anyone has experience with sendmail? [13:18] hello all, does anyone know if python 2.7.9 will every be made available to ubuntu 14.04? [13:18] does touch /forcefsck work on ubuntu ? [13:18] k1l: how can I test that has worked for a file within the given directory? [13:19] for forcing fsck on next reboot [13:19] baxx: see ls -al /path/to/file [13:19] guys ? [13:19] Haris: "it just works" [13:20] Haris: what do you want to know exactly? [13:20] how to force fsck on next reboot === errietta is now known as erry [13:20] Rory [13:20] you already named the technic [13:20] =) [13:21] k1l: all the names are listed as the user 'vco' but things still aren't working for vco as they do for sudo, I'll post a link to info 2 secs [13:21] touch /forcefsck works for ext3/4 partitions [13:22] ubuntu754: hello, yes? [13:22] You can set a more friendly nickname with the "/nick" command - for example to change my name to Rory I typed "/nick Rory" (without the quotes) [13:23] how to check if a service will auto start on next reboot or not ? [13:24] on 12.x LTS [13:24] Haris this makes all startup services visible, you can then easily enable/disable them sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop [13:25] postfix is not in it === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [13:25] k1l: Heres a pasteit with the Info, wasn't sure of the best way to show this info : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10782669/ [13:27] Haris: not sure how you could check if it will start next time or not, you could just update-rc.d enable it to be sure [13:27] hola [13:27] !upstart | Haris or check here [13:27] Haris or check here: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:27] reading =) [13:27] cool :) [13:28] [13:28] when I run update-rc.d postfix enable, it gives me the help menu [13:29] on usage [13:29] ubuntu754: hello, yes? [13:29] damn, its going to download 930+ packages all over again [13:30] minus the damn part [13:30] Haris: update-rc.d postfix enable [13:30] ah nevermind [13:31] Haris: odd, it works here [13:31] baxx: you are using a proxy? [13:31] I'm running it on another .. more older box [13:32] what is NN, SS KK part in the update-rc.d command [13:32] baxx: please do a "ls -al" in the vco users home and see what folder and files are owned by root:root [13:32] /disconnect [13:32] what's a two digit sequence number [13:33] I mean I have to say 03 or 05 for 3 and 5 runlevel respectively ? [13:33] Haris what was your initial, wheat brought you here? [13:33] Haris what was your initial question, what brought you here? [13:34] enable parameter was not present in the old version of the OS [13:34] MonkeyDust ntp failing because of a shared library not able to do file_mmap operation [13:34] at a time when selinux was disabled === darkdevil is now known as DarkDevil [13:34] and still is btw [13:35] Haris nothing seems to work on your system, i wonder how that's possible [13:35] well, its working for the most part [13:35] only ntp is not working [13:35] :D [13:35] the /tmp/upgrade-* references are now gone [13:35] re-running do-release-upgrade [13:36] I'm talking about two separate boxes here [13:36] on one, I'm running do-release-upgrade. its the box where ntp is not starting [13:36] on another box, I'm just trying to make sure postfix starts on next bootup (which I'v completed btw) [13:37] k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10782739/ [13:38] working on one box to make it available for cassandra [13:40] I just talk too much [13:40] k1l: I'm not using a proxy, I'm currently having to sudo ./android in order to start the sdk manager though [13:40] Is is possible to compare the currently installed packages vs the ones that come installed by default? [13:40] Haris: Ubuntu doesn't even come with SELinux. [13:40] chotaz`w: dpkg might let you do that.... maybe if you ran it on a fresh VM you could get the original packages?

I'm running it again [13:44] k1l: thanks for that, I ran it on the others, I'll run it on that now [13:44] do-release-upgrade goes well, except for ntp error. it remains the same [13:45] chotaz`w: wich package are you trying to compare [13:45] lotuspsychje, I'll repeat my previous line [13:45] lotuspsychje, I'm just desperate trying to figure out why "Network manager is not running..." and the service failts to initialize on startup and whenever I manually run it, I just lose connection [13:46] k1l: are things that I have installed using the previous method going to cause me issues? Should I delete everything and start again? thanks :) [13:46] chotaz`w: ubuntu version? [13:46] baxx: ? [13:46] baxx: if you install 3rd party stuff its your responibility to look after it [13:47] k1l: I've installed some of the packages running the SDK manager as sudo, I was just wondering if that was something that should be re-done with the chown settings [13:47] lotuspsychje, UbuntuMATE 14.10, I've tried #ubuntu-mate but we're clueless there, for now. [13:47] that should be sorted with the chown command now [13:48] chotaz`w: did you try 14.04.2 if you have same issue? [13:48] k1l: ok cool, I would have been happy to just wipe everything and start again if I'd buggered it as I haven't done that much. thanks though [13:50] lotuspsychje, thing is there are work-deployd ubuntu-mate bundled laptops, everybody on the company runs the same, and this is just happening on a specific computer, which has a manually configured interface to connect to a VM, could that cause said issues? here's /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/sZ0vJqAD [13:50] these are* [13:50] rebooting after successful do-release-upgrade [13:51] chotaz`w: not sure mate, i dont play with VM's much [13:51] Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-49-generic x86_64) [13:51] allright.. im back Eightynine, did you get your problem resolved or question(s) answered? [13:52] Haris: plz use this channel only for support questions [13:52] ok [13:52] lotuspsychje, the VM is just what I'm connecting to, I think it shoulnt have anything to do with said network interface and manager. I might be wrong. [13:52] hmm [13:53] chotaz`w: did you try F1 at boot to see whats happening to network-manager exactly? check your syslog? dmesg?

But I get permission denied (publickey) error. [14:31] lol [14:33] Brivelt: shouldn't the authorized_keys file be in the ssh server? [14:35] EriC^^: It is. I created a new user on Ubuntu. In /home/newuser/.ssh/authorized_keys I added my public key which is generated on my dev computer. [14:36] The newuser is also added to the group called sshusers, since my sshd_config only allow users to conenct from the sshusers group.

[14:56] Nomikos change/remove nameserver, then: sudo resolvconf -u [14:56] yeah, but the wrong nameserver isn't in that file, only the right one [14:56] there are two nameservers listed, the one from base comes second [14:57] Probably pulls the nameserver in from dhcp server [14:57] MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10783234/ [14:58] Nomikos moment, virtual machine eats all the resources [14:59] Nomikos ok, use the trick I suggested above [15:00] genii: this is from /etc/network/dhclient.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/10783253/ [15:00] MonkeyDust: it doesn't come from the resolvconf/base file [15:01] MonkeyDust: see http://paste.ubuntu.com/10783234/ - the one I want to remove is 192.168.178.1 but I can't tell where it's set === Faylite_ is now known as Faylite [15:02] genii: do I take domain-name-servers and dhcp6.name-servers out of that second pastebin link? === jost is now known as Guest21019 [15:03] Nomikos idd, that's odd [15:04] suspect it's something local to that machine, the router settings only list 0.0.0.0 as dns servers [15:04] how come a default install of ubuntu comes wiht advertsiement from amazon? is ubuntu getting paid for this? [15:04] cnnx: yes. It's a grating and inefficient partnership but you can turn it off [15:05] * Nomikos tries turning it off and on again [15:05] o_O that worked. [15:05] thanks all!

[15:39] jeffreylevesque type ls /etc/init.d/ [15:42] "/etc/init contains configuration files used by Upstart" [15:45] jeffreylevesque: Originally the /etc/init.d held all the startup scripts. They were started using the system V init or sysvinit method. /etc/init was added when Upstart came. Upstart scripts are done first, then all the old style ones are executed as another Upstart job. In the new one of systemd it will revert again to the /etc/init.d [15:45] hello guys [15:45] I'm using ubuntu 14.04 [15:46] so, i suppose upstart is more favorable then init.d [15:46] i am facing a problem on ubuntu 14.10 with wifi , each 5 or 10 min my connection stops i have to reconnect to get my internet any suggestions ? [15:46] jeffreylevesque: Upstart can load things in parallel while init.d linear [15:48] genii: will upstart replace init.d? [15:48] jeffreylevesque: upstart did replace sysvinit [15:49] jeffreylevesque: but form 15.04 upstart will be replaced by systemd [15:49] k1l, is sysvinit is init.d? [15:50] is sysvinit the same as init.d [15:50] The System Monitor tool tracks total network data received/sent. What timeframe is this? Calendar day? Last 24 hours? Since last boot? [15:50] jeffreylevesque: /etc/init.d is the folder where the start/stop scripts are stored [15:51] ok [15:51] and yes, its from sysvinit. upstart still can handle the old scripts [15:51] sysvinit searches init.d [15:51] upstart searches init [15:51] jeffreylevesque: sysvinit is deprecated on ubuntu [15:52] Hello [15:52] ubuntu switched to upstart some time ago and will switch to systemd form 15.04 on. sysvinit days are really far "back then" [15:53] k1l: which version of ubuntu stopped used sysvinit, and 15.04 will replace upstart? === nerdy_co is now known as nerdy [15:53] How do I mount a micro-sd ? [15:53] jeffreylevesque: like i told before: upstart still can use the old sysvinit scripts. [15:54] jeffreylevesque: and i told you 3 times not that form 15.04 on systemd will be the default. [15:54] rosco_y: type lsblk and see if it's there [15:54] Eric --ty :) [15:54] hello, after freeze, i had to do rebooting my pc but the logitech of ubuntu is broken [15:54] rosco_y: gvfs should do that automatically [15:54] how do i fix the probleme please [15:55] rosco_y: np :) [15:55] Fr3d3r1c what's the logitech? the mouse?

[16:20] there is a .config/alarm-clock but no option for the icon [16:21] just try other things [16:21] also modifying /usr/share/applications/alarm-clock* does not give any results... as it should not. [16:21] keevitaja: For Unity, im not sure. But in Linux, you shall be able to use a bitmap as icon. Is that understandable? [16:22] Sorry im french. Never sure of my english. [16:22] yes, but where can i configure it? i can make the icons, no problem with that. just does alarm-clock, i belive the gnomes, have the setting option [16:22] Whenever I plug-in my headphones I get this annoying pop up https://i.imgur.com/zz1Lnjb.png?1 how to fix this [16:23] teward, Ok I was just checking bots and I asked the question again [16:23] Probably a LONG stretch, but here is my question: I am using WINE on UBUNTU to run an exe file. This works just fine. However, the program needs to connect to a windows NT4 server using Windows credentials. Is this possible? [16:24] keevitaja: rightclick on icon -> properties. Then to the left, you see the actual icon. Click on it then follow your instinct. [16:24] acro458: sounds like a Wine question, not an ubuntu one [16:25] is there a wine chatroom?

[17:13] mehn, be carefful with dist-upgrade! ... maybe its better to run only update and upgrade [17:13] so 14.10 offers a simple sounding 'do you want an encrypted home partition?' option on install, but doesn't mention that will also encrypt your swap + prevent swap from working after a reboot.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:05] nostromen: You are running a beta [19:05] Lorne_: It means you only have some rudimentary desktop environment running and not unity or kde or whatever [19:05] did you know that?

[19:06] ok I had problem whit my bluetooth I try this https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/ works on the previous kernel after the update do not works anymore [19:07] fffelix: What are you trying to accomplish ? [19:07] if i running a beta what is xubuntu 15 too beta? [19:07] Lorne_: ctrl-alt-f1 alt-f7 will get you back to the X [19:08] hkrrsx: I'm trying to build the the v4l-dvb modules because my dvb-c stick doesn't work. when I'm trying to compile it make gives me: "File not found: /lib/modules/3.8.0-42-generic/build/.config at ./scripts/make_kconfig.pl line 33, line 4."

But i could link the path anyway, right? [19:09] I wouldn't [19:09] In order to get that working [19:10] hkrrsx: meh ): [19:10] Check in your /lib/modules/3.8.0-42-generic/build directory [19:10] genii : perfect... I got the cursor again - my problem is the last round of ubuntu updates kicked my Nvidia video card offline (2nd time its happened!!) [19:10] See if there is a .config file in there ...... and if so, check the permissions [19:11] hkrrsx: there is no /lib/modules/3.8.0-42-generic/build directory [19:11] There's the problem [19:11] I tried to remove Gnome in tty and install Unity, it installed partially and now I can't login.

Thought it's created by the package linux headers [19:13] nostromen: Here is an old trick. May be not the best but it works. Save your files in NTFS or FAT that does not know about the files owner.

Did you .... 1 sec [19:17] ok - simpler question - How do I "run as root"? [19:17] Merci, Yves. Je serai reconnaissant de l'aide. [19:17] Lorne_: If you can stand the lag of me reply time, work is taking me from the computer every couple minutes for a bit. Basically just use the ctrl-alt-f1 to gain tty, login with usual name/pass and then maybe stop the login manager with sudo service lightdm stop. Then you can issue whatever apt-get commands might be required to reinstall nvidia drivers (most likely culprit) and then start lightdm again, alt-f7 [19:17] Lorne_, put 'sudo' at the front of everything. [19:17] So, I'm trying to install "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" but apt wouldn't let me (no candidate). What am I doing wrong? [19:18] Synaptic wasn't installed in my system by default. [19:18] Stupid question, can I reset the root password using 'sudo passwd' if I don't know the current root password? [19:18] lol npe [19:18] you can become root [19:18] can anyono hel me whit my bluetooth cant find any device my chip is RTL8723BE [19:19] OK - awesome - seems to be working :) [19:19] Can I remove completely Gnome and Unity in tty and reinstall Unity?

How may I sort folders before files in "select file" dialog? Thank You!! === samuel_ is now known as neoDite [19:21] Davor1: 14.04? [19:21] last LTS [19:22] sweet - thanks genii its up again... :) [19:22] Davor1: Did you try Nemo? [19:22] Yves, maybe you mean System default? [19:22] yes [19:23] Is there a noob-proof guide on how to get the linux headers from the current kernel? [19:23] Lorne_: Glad to assist [19:24] fffelix: Try running uname-r first and then add the version to linux-headers-(version_here) [19:24] I use xubuntu. File manager is pcmanfm. But when open file from bluefish "select file" is nautilus. I may configure nautilus but it have no efect in "select files" dialog [19:24] Cipher45: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo ; http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword . [19:24] Davor1: Nemo isnt the best solution but i was able to fix that using nautilus [19:25] Davor1: err : [19:25] Nautilus is actualy bugging me. [19:25] hkrrsx: it's basically the same: no installation candidate [19:25] Using Nemo [19:26] btw im using U14.04 [19:26] fffelix: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-" (tab tab for tab completion) [19:26] No err! but when I open files in "select files" is mixed folders and files by name. I wish first folder and below files [19:27] fffelix: Actually, look at this first .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xwS57DKsLA [19:27] Bashing-om, Thanks for that! I've been using 'su -' sometimes. Is it better practice to use 'sudo -i' instead? [19:28] Davor1: Sry Davor i did abandon nautilus. But noticed that some Nemo options changed something in Nautilus. Dont ask!!!! [19:29] OK1 Please explain me how i may change "select file" application? [19:29] If I install 14.04, what is the proper way to prevent receiving the 14.04.1 update? [19:30] and .2 [19:30] Davor1: Tricky for me. After i intalled Nemo, i need use a desktop folder in order to get to left and use it as if it was Nautilus. [19:31] Cipher45: Be aware; both have their particular applications, depending on the use-case. ' sudo -i ' is the more general - and safer but only when required . "sudo " is the recommended means generally . [19:31] But my default, out of this, is still Nautilus. [19:31] Maybe I should try this? sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-settings [19:32] Eightynine: you really want to work using Unity? [19:32] trying to see... [19:32] I mean. Run bluefish, file - open. I have mixed files and folders in "select files". I want first folder an files below. How? [19:32] I have no "sort by type" [19:32] Okay cool. Thanks again Bashing-om ! [19:33] I don't know, never used it before. But I don't like Gnome. I wanted to replace it. [19:33] Cipher45: Welcome, we are here to help. [19:33] milehigh: The usual way would be to make sure the line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades reads: Prompt=never [19:33] Davor1: I dont know bluefish. but Nautilus is hiding the menu. [19:34] is that the problem? [19:35] Otherwise, look at upper menu "Sort by" [19:36] quel est la procedure pour mettre a jour son systeme [19:36] cabrel: va à Ubuntu-fr ou Ubuntu-Qc selon le cas [19:37] Im french [19:37] genii: Will a normal apt-get update/upgrade put me on that release, or is a dist-upgrade necessary? [19:37] milehigh: dist-upgrade is the one which bumps versions [19:38] can anyone help me to install gnupg version 2 for use with enigamail [19:38] I will try [19:38] upgrade only upgrades existing packages on your machine. Dist-upgrade will do that, plus fetch packages that may not exist. === DarkDevil is now known as darkdevil [19:39] colby_: Please see this URL entirely -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto [19:39] when installing via mini.iso, does it encrypt the disk, if you so choose, during the retrieval of the base system and additional software, or after the retrieval?

[20:30] xrandr question: so my laptop was able to push 2 display's pre 14.04 out of the box. one display from the laptop DP port and dock's DP port. now after the update to 14.04, the display from the laptop is just pushing out 1280x800 .. there is no other option ..i am able to xrandr --addmode and xrandr --newmode and get it to push the actual display. its a pain in the back to do this everytime i reboot my laptop. [20:30] anyway i can make this better? [20:31] kart: Put the xrandr commands in /etc/rc.local [20:31] kart: configure the monitors using the Displays tool? [20:31] anyone know if there's a bootable armv7 installer with a "secure boot" signed bootloader? [20:32] genii: to set the resolution yes i use the displays tool.

[20:33] have you looked for proprietary drivers? perhaps that would allow you to drive 2 monitors again aswel.., my setup without prop-drivers would not allow me to drive both monitors either.. nor did it detect resolutions properly.. [20:34] then again, i run 2 nvidia cards.. :/ [20:35] if by two displays you mean tty1 and tty2 then it is an xorg thing [20:35] davevanloo: no proprietary drivers [20:35] as of 1.17 it is no longer supported [20:35] Ben64: thx, did. it's a bit quiet over there :) [20:35] rgb-one: yeh thats what i read on the forums. [20:41] how i could know with console commands that iam actually using a previous version of wl, you'll want to provide [20:41] a clean transition from the older driver. (The path to previous driver is [20:41] usually /lib/modules//kernel/net/wireless) [20:41] anyone knows how to fix the gnutls thing in 14.04.2 : using git https:// results in server certificate verification failed.

[21:12] vlt I did not see what your exact problem was [21:17] bazhang: Sorry.

I went to the Nvidia site and plugged in my GTX 760 and Linux 64-bit and it found the Linux X64 346 drivers. Are these not suggested to use? [21:50] gunndawg: ubuntu tends to not update drivers during a release cycle unless needed [21:50] gunndawg: it is _definitely_ not recommended to install the ones from the nvidia site manually, unless you love to end up with a black or low resolution screen after the next kernel update [21:51] Fuchs: I'm trying to fix rubber banding issues in Counter-Strike (supported by valve) and thought maybe the updated 446 drivers might fix it. [21:51] gunndawg: just take the ones from the driver manager, unless your hardware isn't supported by them [21:51] Fuchs: they work, jsut trying to fix an issue when gaming under steam [21:51] So compared with Ubuntu, why do some people like linux mint more? [21:51] gunndawg: there are ppas that offer these and at least set up dkms correctly, note that it's highly unlikely that people will like to give you support when you use PPAs. But for trying whether they fix it, that might be worth a try. [21:51] they think it's more serious [21:51] kro2488: [21:51] eric: serious how? [21:52] kro2488: because people have personal preferences, same thing with food, cars and various other things. Happens. [21:52] like the desktop doesn't have fancy stuff, it's more practical etc. [21:52] kro2488: that is not a good idea to ask in a ubuntu channel === Bl4ckD34tH is now known as Bl4ckD34Th [21:52] kro2488: better ask in ##linux for a more objective view [21:53] or just go straight to a mint channel and ask those why they have that preference. [21:53] that requires slightly more effort since these would be on spotchat, not freenode [21:54] why would ppl who use ubuntu know anything about mint? racist [21:54] whats the best way to tether ubuntu laptop to Android for internet? [21:54] lol [21:54] im still new to it all so bear with me [21:54] i don't really write programs and stuff so i rarely use the terminal but im interested in understanding how everything works, so im slowly reading up [21:55] most of the ubuntu gui is fine, but sometimes for updates its quicker to just do a terminal command [21:55] area51pilot: just attach the cable and select "USB tethering" [21:55] basically I could survive if i was forced to only use terminal which is a good thing [21:55] whereas a few weeks ago not so much [21:55] my bluetooth dont work. i have a broadcom two in one wifi and bluetooth. bluetooth work wi fi dont [21:56] kro2488: that sounds more like a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic, then. [21:56] kro2488: the channel here should be kept clean and clear for support [21:56] this i the onlyt hing i use irc for, but thats the channel name for just random chat?

You asked how to tether: not how to avoid charges [21:58] lyndel4, use sudo [21:58] why wont it let me paste? [21:58] u mean i must use command line? [21:58] lyndel4, for a safety reason [21:58] ok [21:58] lyndel it has to do with authority [21:58] thanks [21:58] yea [21:58] lyndel4: what? [21:59] if i must use cli just to copy a folder to boot directy [21:59] lyndel4: you can run "gksudo nautilus" to get a priveleged file manager but you can easily mess up your system if you do something wrong [22:00] mcphail, your right ... I'm way beyond the simple steps. I used to use FoxFi and ClockworkMod as a hotspot ... but my device isnt supported now [22:00] i undertsnad thanks [22:00] Is it common for wine to lag while running a Windows program?

[22:03] lyndel4: it means theres a directory in what you're copying [22:03] lyndel4: Means you didn't use the -r switch for recursive copying [22:04] lyndel4: cp -r copies the directories too [22:04] oh [22:04] thanks [22:04] area51pilot: see xda-developers for infos if and how you can run other roms or root or enable tethering [22:04] woot thanks alot guys [22:04] hahah it worked [22:07] k1l_, been there .. going to look into the Bluetooth DUN option I guess [22:07] it just seemed kinda slow when I used it on a tablet [22:11] So I decided to try a wired connection and get rid of my wireless but when I plug in wired I have no connection.

[23:21] has to be command line since it's just a digitalocean droplet [23:21] mehn: fresh install would be faster [23:21] mehn, sure, 12.10 > 13.04 > 13.10 > to supported 14.04 LTS [23:22] xangua +1 [23:22] mehn, better ask digital ocean for a fresh 14.04 [23:25] hello people, i just made a DIY wifi antena and i'm looking for a program that scan all the WLANs [23:25] and give me the power of reception of all of them in real time [23:25] joe__, wireshark maybe?

[23:27] something more lite than i could run on a rasberry PI [23:28] have fun with raspberry pi [23:28] try wifite [23:28] maybe are you looking for that ^^ [23:29] but i must warn you [23:29] yes ? [23:29] raspberry pi has serious issues with networks [23:29] joe__, rasp pi 2 ? [23:29] Hi everyone, is the ubuntu bugsquad IRC still in use? [23:29] you aren't the problem, but an heavy bugged driver [23:30] just in case you'll have some freezes / disconnect [23:30] OerHeks, no rasp 1 [23:30] joe__, then you are not running ubuntu, are you? [23:30] debian [23:30] oh yeah for sur :/ [23:31] OerHeks: Grr... it's so much damn work to make a package. [23:31] but is a strange fork adaptet for a bcm chipset [23:31] but now i'm trying the antena on my laptop [23:31] you'll have less trouble with BeagleBone TI, and with olinuxino [23:32] yeah i heard of them they look pretty cool [23:32] billy__, sure, join #ubuntu-bug [23:32] billy__, sure, join #ubuntu-bugs ***** [23:32] i've hammered my raspberry pi for too many headache ^^ [23:32] ahahah [23:33] thanks OerHeks, I'm actually on that channel, just haven't seen any activity [23:34] billy__, bugs usually are handled on launchpad, development and bughunters are hard to catch on irc [23:34] poorUser, have you try olinuxino ? is it good ? [23:34] yep a way better [23:35] with a normal debian distribution [23:35] !ot | joe__ poorUser [23:35] joe__ poorUser: #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! [23:35] ok [23:44] hello, I have a really critical problem. I installed Python3.4 by source to /usr/local/bin and then "gi" through pip3 and now, everything is broken. [23:44] Thanks OerHeks, I'l check there [23:44] I have pyobject installed but im still getting ImportError: No module named repository [23:44] before I installed Python3.4 and "gi" through pip3, eveyrthing was working fine. [23:44] the default python is 2.7 [23:45] any fix, please? [23:45] since Ubuntu is highly reliant on Python, I am afraid that the next time I log in..my system will be broken [23:45] so I need to fix this problem while I am still logged in, and I have only 10 minutes! [23:45] Kanov, why did you do that, ubuntu comes with python 3.4.2-1 [23:45] OerHeks; please, how can I fix this? [23:46] !info python3 [23:46] python3 (source: python3-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version). In component main, is important. Version 3.4.2-1 (utopic), package size 8 kB, installed size 100 kB [23:46] k i'm running wifite now, but its listening on mon0 (mon0 is my wlan0 i guess ). i have wlan0 who is my default laptop wifi card and wlan0 who is my home-made antena. how do i get wifit working with wlan1 ? [23:46] I have three versions of Python installed; 2.7, 3.2, 3.4 [23:46] and wlan1 whos is my home-made antena* [23:46] OerHeks; is there any solution or can I consider myself truly screwed? [23:47] Kanov, even ubuntu 14.04 lts has python 3.4 ... i don't know how to reverse your install, maybe someone knows? [23:48] * as i never used pip [23:49] Kanov: You will need to use pip to remove what you installed. Ubuntu already has a python 2 and 3 subsystem. Remove either at your systems peril. [23:50] im on 12.04 [23:50] any help please? [23:51] Kanov, maybe this page is any help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/173323/how-do-i-detect-and-remove-python-packages-installed-via-pip [23:52] I just built a new PC and now have 2 harddrives. 1) SSD w/ Xubuntu 14.04, and 2) 1TB HD with my old Windows install on it. I just got Win 8.1 for free through school and want to install it on the HD, will it overwrite my grub bootloader? [23:52] .wc [23:53] Kanov, what do you need ? [23:53] nightwalkerkg; help [23:53] scrapcode, which drive do you boot from? [23:53] Hey, I've got a PPC iso of ubuntu 10.04 that I'm trying to get an old Powerbook G4 to boot off of from USB. [23:53] xD What do you need help with ? Kanov [23:53] Currently I boot from the SSD [23:53] I can't find the usb drive to boot from [23:54] I've tried every variation of "boot usb0/disk@1:2,\\yaboot" I can think of [23:54] with no result. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [23:54] nightwalkerkg; see above [23:54] Kanov, i just joined, copy/paste it.

[23:56] brass_gauge, all i know is that page, maybe someone here knows more about ppc/powerbooks G4 [23:57] Well, if there are any ppc experts around, I'd love to hear from them [23:57] brass_gauge: 2 things .... 1.) Is the USB drive being detected at boot time by the BIOS and 2.) Is that USB drive set to boot before your current internal boot drive? [23:57] btw, I know nothing either [23:57] hkrrsx: with PPC you're pretty much required to boot through Open Firmware [23:57] i.e. holding CMD+opt+O+F at boot [23:57] and it's a command line [23:58] the above link outlines the steps [23:58] Yeah, applying PC logic to a Mac .... I'll show myself out [23:58] and I've tried running ls / dev and devalias but I can't find a distinct boot option, nor do I even know how to interpret the tree that it spits out. === megabit|away is now known as megabitdragon [23:59] brass_gauge: sorry man, that was the only magic trick for my show
