Jordan_Udiscus: I would generally recommend to try to keep a minimal number of primary partitions (which would be none if you weren't using Windows), keeping most things in logical partitions. Having partitions be logical rather than primary generally leaves you more flexability to change things in the future.00:00
discusJordan_U: I see00:00
ki7mt+1 you only get (4) primary .. makes life easy to add different distro's when using extended form the get go.00:01
ki7mt.. from the get go ..00:01
discusmore flexible as far as resizing them i. the future gies, or?00:01
* discus goes00:01
EriC^^you can make more partitions if you want00:02
Jordan_Udiscus: Your limitations with primary partitions is that there can only be 4 of them. Your can use one primary partition "slot" to make an extended partition, which then holds an arbitrary number of logical partitions. Your limitations with logical partitions is that they must be contained within your single extended partition.00:02

josselin_ok eric00:24
EriC^^josselin_: did you login to ubuntu?00:24
EriC^^using your password00:24
josselin_yes00:24
daftykinsjosselin_: if you can't remember your password, and you insist on spamming this channel instead, then your best bet is to boot into recovery mode and replace your password.00:24
daftykins!recovery | josselin_ like here...00:24
ubottujosselin_ like here...: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode00:24
EriC^^josselin_: ok, type groups00:24
josselin_ah no i don't have a passowrd to enter in ubuntu00:24
kostkonjosselin, make sure you are using the correct keyboard layout language the password was written in, eg US, FR? you could reset it if that doesn't work http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword00:24
locsmifI have a problem where I select keyboard layout US intl with dead keys, but every say ~10 minutes, dead keys stop working properly. Is this a known issue?00:25
josselin_no no i don't have password to come in ubuntu00:25
abortretryfail_locsmif try looking it up? idk00:25
josselin_no it's not a problem of keyboard00:25
kostkonjosselin, it's one password for everything. logging in, terminal commands, software centre, etc00:25
josselin_yes00:25
kostkonjosselin, then reset it and create a new password http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword00:26
josselin_maybe i will try an install with a password00:26
EriC^^josselin_: you can reset your password00:26

abortretryfail_ha00:28
abortretryfail_great fix /s00:28
abortretryfail_sorry i don't know though00:29
locsmifOk say it happened just now.. I press double quote and press space but no double quote00:29
locsmif-say00:29
locsmifNormal double quote doesnt work either, nor single quote (as you can see)00:29
locsmifSo its not like I accidentally switched layouts00:30
locsmifAll I need to do is visit the keyboard layout tray icon menu once, and it works again ëäöéè00:30
locsmifI'm disabling the switch layout shortcuts, see if that helps, even though it doesn't necessarily *look* like this was the cause.00:32

daftykins!nomodeset | discus try this00:38
ubottudiscus try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:38

DarkAceZI guess linux will be able to read ext4 in virtualbox if the host is a windows platform?00:43
EriC^^DarkAceZ: yeah00:43
DarkAceZis there a simpler way to read ext on windows?00:44
EriC^^wait what, you want to read the actual hard disk?00:44
DarkAceZyeah haha00:44
locsmifDarkAceZ: there are a few tools, but most of them are old00:44
EriC^^virtualbox won't do that, you'd have to make a raw disk image file and use it00:45
DarkAceZI want to move some files from my ext4 external onto my sister's windows00:45
locsmifDarkAceZ: I used to use ext2ifs on Windows but that doesn't support Ext4, at least not with journaliing00:45
locsmifDarkAceZ: use a livecd or usb00:45
EriC^^DarkAceZ: boot a live usb and do it00:45
DarkAceZwell, I was hoping there was an easier way, but okay00:46
DarkAceZthanks00:46
EriC^^live usb is pretty easy and simple00:46
locsmifDarkAceZ: http://www.ext2fsd.com/ perhaps00:47

daftykinsDarkAceZ: given it's a sibling, are your computers not networked? is SCP not an answer?00:49
discuswhat boot manager is used by default?00:49
locsmifThen again, NTFS-3g still isn't ideal either00:49
DarkAceZwell, I have an NTFS partition on the drive for things like this, but the problem is that I'm out of space on both partitions00:49
EriC^^discus: grub00:49
DarkAceZbut I freed up some, and am just copying them to the NTFS for now00:50
EriC^^yeah just copy to the ext400:50
EriC^^( obviously )00:50
daftykinsDarkAceZ: so, are they networked?00:51
DarkAceZno00:51
locsmifDarkAceZ: so I guess your choices now are: 1. LiveCD/USB 2. Copy to NTFS partition if there's room 3. Networking 4. ext2fsd00:51
DarkAceZshe doesn't live here00:51
DarkAceZI copied to the NTFS, although it wasn't as much as I was planning00:52

discusis safety from corrupted config file  the reason why we are not editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly?00:58

locsmifYou're welcome, but remember if the device itself is a bit shaky then it may fail yet01:31
locsmifYou want to do some testing with it01:31
locsmifCopy things back and forth01:31
locsmifPerhaps use sha1sum on the file copied (a large file, like an ISO, for example)01:31
abortretryfail_no i think it failed because i formatted it too many times when trying to install an operating system on my new build pc01:31
locsmifabortretryfail_: another fine way of testing would be to toss into the fire and see if there any glowing inscriptions in elvish on it01:32
EriC^^lol01:32
EriC^^O.o01:32
locsmifIf so, hide it and leave the Shire01:32
DarkNightHammertopic01:32
locsmifYou're right. We must not utter that language here.01:33
abortretryfail_sorry i accidentally moved the ethernet cable01:33
abortretryfail_lol01:34
locsmifabortretryfail_: you should look into USB 3.0 usb sticks, too01:35
EriC^^the one i got was 3.001:35
locsmifMe too01:35
EriC^^it was like $13 or something, i couldn't resist01:35
abortretryfail_i have no 3.0 on my motherboard01:35
locsmifBut maybe others will, and it's backward compatible01:35
abortretryfail_i know i only have 1 usb stick, 4gb, this one was my dad's so it was important to fix it01:36
locsmifBack to my question, btw, it appears I can fix my dead key problem by pressing alt-shift if it happens. But, I have shortcut switches disabled01:36
locsmifabortretryfail_: well, it appears to be now01:36
abortretryfail_yeah01:36
locsmifAny ideas about the dead keys thing?01:36
abortretryfail_woo! my windows 7 laptop detects it and it works01:37
abortretryfail_brought back from the dead01:37
daftykinsyou were using diskmgmt.msc in Windows i take it?01:37
daftykinsto try and make use of it01:38
locsmifSo the initial failure to work was when you tried to get it to work in Windows?01:38
locsmifyeah01:38
EriC^^i made a fat32 the other day in ubuntu, and put music on it and the car's player wouldn't recognize it, i had to format in windows to get it to work01:38
EriC^^abortretryfail_: dont mean to rain or your parade, i was just curious if somebody knew what i did wrong01:38
abortretryfail_no i wasn't using diskmgmt01:38
locsmifEriC^^: boot sector is slightly different01:38
abortretryfail_i didn't know of that01:38
daftykinsah01:38
daftykinsthere y'go :D01:38
abortretryfail_yeah it's ok lol my problem is solved (for now)01:39
abortretryfail_everyone else, go on01:39
daftykinsi made an exFAT in Windows 7 that a mac couldn't mount a bit ago, turns out macs can't handle >1,024KB block size01:39
abortretryfail_lol01:39
locsmifEriC^^: also the File Allocation Table may have had a different cluster size, who knows.01:39

abortretryfail_to think that a few days ago i thought "meh, i'm just going to install ubuntu until i can get windows to work"01:41
EriC^^dfgh: sound?01:41
abortretryfail_i'm keeping it01:41
locsmifEriC^^: if you really want to get to the bottom of it, you should try formatting it in Linux again, then take a snapshot of a Windows formatted boot sector and see if you can change the id string01:41
dfghthere are only integraten01:41
locsmifNot much use for practical purposes, only diagnostic.01:41
dfghand no HDMI01:42

mellukdfgh: You using unity01:43
dfghUbuntu defoult01:43
dfghyes01:43
EriC^^locsmif: windows just formatted it right?01:43
abortretryfail_how do i save a terminal session log? i want to know what i typed to fix the flash drive if it happens again01:43
dfghSo what do?01:43
macibookg3I have found that holding down the option key, when starting up you MacBook Pro.  then longing on to your wifi  and doing a Internet recovery will let you install Mac OS X... to a USB drive.  So if you have installed Linux on your internal drive.  You will be able to to boot and run both but one at a time01:43
dfghWhy so many bugs in Ubuntu?01:43
EriC^^it wouldn't change the partition type and whatnot right? locsmif01:43
mellukdfgh: in terminal type alsa-mixer01:44
dfghno found01:44
EriC^^locsmif: i just remembered i think i used msftdata as the partition type, maybe i should have used w95 fat, cause the error was format error or something01:44
dfghu mean alsamixer?01:45
EriC^^locsmif: in windows i just right clicked and selected quick format in fat3201:45
mellukdfgh: yeah01:45

dfghbye then thx u02:00
daftykinserr02:01
[Saint]That was abrupt.02:01
daftykinsyeah i'd have asked what driver was in use for said graphics card02:01
mellukdfgh: their are tricks using APLAY in terminal but you need to experiment02:02
daftykinsuser left, melluk02:02
[Saint]And gotten "the driver for gfx the smart tv of nvidia" as a response, probably.02:02
[Saint]ie. masochism.02:03

discuscan I set grub up to display boot menu on the second monitor, not the default one?02:03

=== anthony is now known as Guest44126
discusmy tv connects to hdmi, monitor to dvi.. and boot screen/bios are only displayed on the tv, and I see no way of changing that in the bios02:04

macibookg3I have found that holding down the option key, when starting up you MacBook Pro.  then longing on to your wifi  and doing a Internet recovery will let you install Mac OS X... to a USB drive.  So if you have installed Linux on your internal drive.  You will be able to to boot and run both but one at a time.  before you start the install you have to open Disk utility and make sure the USB drive is formated to HFS+ journalized02:05
[Saint]errr, macibookg3?02:06
[Saint]c/p snafu?02:06
daftykinsmacibookg3: that's more of a statement than a support question - also, you can install both at once on the internal hard disk too.02:06
daftykinsor SSD.02:06
macibookg3this is just FYI02:07

locsmifheh :)02:16
[Saint]If you want a GUI for such things in future, one can't go wrong with gparted.02:17
[Saint]pick the disk, remove the partitions, confirm, done.02:17
daftykinsnot sure that removes all remnants of GPT/MBR though?02:18
[Saint]though, it isn't any safer than dd if you're not 100% about which disk is which.02:18
[Saint]daftykins: it should.02:18
locsmifI've had issues with Ubuntu picking up on partition remnants on my USB sticks without zeroing out02:19
[Saint]and you can write a new table if you wanted.02:19
locsmifNo idea how that happened precisely, but it did, until I went in and truly erased the partition/boot sector remnants02:19
locsmifAdmittedly, I was tinkering about with a multiboot USB02:20
[Saint]I've only had that happen on obviously fake storage volumes with hacked up capacity.02:20
[Saint]But, I understand it can happen in certain circumstances.02:20
locsmifI do get nervous about dd and typos when pasting example oneliners02:21
[Saint]Oh noes! My X drive!02:21
locsmifha ha02:21

Jamie_teknotus: so there is no way to downgrade.... :\06:35
teknotusJamie_: You could debootstrap into a chroot, and then overwrite files.06:36
Jamie_teknotus: this may be really bad for me... I work from this computer... I would have to regather all of my stuff for firefox os building06:36

Jamie_somsip: I went to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04... it was going through.. when through quite a bit of it... but  when it got to remove packages i wanted to see which ones it was remove  to check for some things, hit the d for details hit enter to get back to the yes or no options to select yes... but it just went to command line... I know that the computer if the ugrade was complete  should have needed a reboot but there was none06:42
Jamie_and the computer is registering as 15.0406:42
somsipJamie_: 15.04 is not released yet and support is in #ubuntu+1 Downgrading is generally felt to be impossible (or horribly tricky at best) so a fresh install might be the way to go06:43

teknotusJamie_: sudo apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | \06:45
teknotussed '/^$/d' | xargs sudo apt-get \06:45
teknotusinstall --reinstall --install-recommends --yes06:45
somsipJamie_: try the man page for the command you ran (presumably do-release-upgrade) but #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask about 15.0406:45
Jamie_okay thanks06:45
TyrfingMjolnirHow do I write the following in fstab? sudo mount -o loop /home/user/disk.iso /mnt/mount_point06:46

TyrfingMjolnirman debootstrap in the terminal07:09

TyrfingMjolnirHere is the process07:10
TyrfingMjolnirhttps://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap07:10
robotdeviljust been a long time since I ve reviewed any of this07:10
TyrfingMjolnirThe only thing you would have to do some research on is this: debootstrap --arch i386 sid $MY_CHROOT http://http.debian.net/debian/07:11
robotdevilbut thats not using a host os all the time after install right07:11
TyrfingMjolnirThere is some writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot07:11
TyrfingMjolnirrobotdevil: What do you mean?07:12
robotdevilyeah I ve used chroot on a debian install years ago and gentoo I think07:12
TyrfingMjolnirThis is what I would do07:12
robotdevilbut FOREVER AGO07:12
TyrfingMjolnir1) Mount the drive from the machine with no USB or CDROM in the machine that is already working07:12
TyrfingMjolnir2) format the drive, you will find the volume name in: dmesg | grep sd07:13
TyrfingMjolnir3) fdisk /dev/sdX07:14
robotdevilstill folowing07:14
TyrfingMjolnir4) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdX3 or whichever partition you want to be your root, and others if partitioned separately07:14
TyrfingMjolnirThen follow the procedure: https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap ( Full process to create a complete Debian ) yet adopted using a source from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot07:15
TyrfingMjolnir5) ^07:15
TyrfingMjolnirRemember to choose the correct arch07:16
TyrfingMjolnir6) Detach hdd07:16
TyrfingMjolnir7) mount hdd in other computer07:16
TyrfingMjolnir8) boot07:16
robotdevilthe bootstrap will install a bootloader as well?07:17

sgo11somsip, ok. thanks. i have no idea what ubuntu-sdk is. that bug is talking about ubuntu-sdk, that's why I asked here. ubuntu-sdk is in the official repo. why do I install it from ppa? I don't quite get what you mean.09:12

philm88Hi all. I'm using a server install of ubuntu 14.04 and am setting it up so that it boots into firefox full screen, like a kiosk. That part all works fine. What's not working though is firefox's h264 html5 video support. It worked out of the box on desktop ubuntu, but not on server. I've installed firefox, ubuntu-restricted-extras & gstreamer1.0-libav to no avail - does anyone have any ideas?11:15

k1lhi-tower: i dont know about the kde stuff. even though the new kde5 stuff is different on the +1. in general you are fine with about 15GB. some minimalistic will work with 7gb11:35
hi-towerk1l: ok, i see. But most of the stuff is in /usr anyway11:35
hi-towerand my /usr is on a separate partition, not affected by the space problem11:36
philm88techgrin: I've installed gstreamer1.0-libav, which is apparently what newer versions (>30) require instead of gstreamer0.1-ffmpeg - but still no h264 support11:36
techgrinphilm88: A kiosk sounds more like a desktop than a server though. Anyway, if I can help I will help. Does firefox show some sort of error when viewing h264 vids?11:37

emashhello everyone! i created usb stick in uefi mode11:47
emashaaand it's not loading11:47
colbyfanyone know what this means>>This is caused by Ubuntu's QA being a bit broken and only allowing some frameworks 5.9 packages into the archive.  If you manually add vivid-proposed and upgrade it will install the rest and this bug goes away.  So this is an incompatibility between versions of kf5.11:48
emashi used virtualbox to install ubuntu (checked 'use efi') to a virtual drive, then converted it to raw and written to usb. My pc sees uefi entry, but loads windows instead11:48
[n0mad]jermaine and ccat, from what i've read online you definitely should't just rename shared libraries11:49
[n0mad]if you do you will have to recompile applications that use those libraries11:49
marco_jiang有人吗11:49
[n0mad]doesn't sound like a fun day11:49

chotaz`wopinions on plank vs docky anyone?11:50
ccat[n0mad]: even just for temp purposes to see if it makes app B work even if it temp disrupts app A?11:50
hi-towerccat: so when you upgrade to a new sub-version, the link is updated so the programs can always find the lib still under the same name11:51
hi-towerccat: my experience is that renaming libraries manually is asking for trouble11:51
hi-towerccat: if you have a program that requires a specific lib version, that you cannot get (in parallel), then the next best option is to 1) compile from source against the available lib on your system11:52
hi-towerccat: or 2) ask the package maintainers for support11:52

k1lcem_: 15.04 is still in development13:55
patrick2jpds_ i know, but i didnt make backups of my root folder. and the only mount i have is a raid 5 array of 16TB. to much to backup. but i just unmount and remount it after reinstalling? its mdadm array so that should give no problems right?13:56
cfhowlettcem_, 14.04 is long term support.  15.04 will not be13:56
cem_hmm13:56
cem_so 14.04 is better13:56

beakusjpds_, if you give me the command line commands, I can cut and pastebin for you13:57
jpds_beakus: 13:44:49 < k1l > beakus: and put a "ls -alh /var/log" into the pastebin too13:57
cfhowlettcem_, then you probably don't need the newest software  :)13:57
jpds_cem_: Then go with 14.04.13:57
patrick2jpds_ okay, do you know a way that atleast it has grub again. so that if it reboots because of power problems it wont give trouble.. then next month i'l reinstall it13:57
k1lcem_: start with 14.04 if you dont know the difference then.13:58

lasdamhow is grub generated with the command update-grub? I have apt-get removed selinux, but grub is still insisting on loading with selinux=1, and when I manually edit grub to selinux=0 or remove the line, next update-grub and it's overwritten to selinux=1 again, and this line seem to still cause a few problems with my system14:35
splitwirepaws, can you install it with apt-get install vsftpd14:35
mcphaillasdam: edit /etc/default/grub14:35

TomAstroOerHeks:  Now this is interesting,  Very Interesting.....   Unpacking ubuntu-docs (14.04.5) over (13.10.2)   Now why is that?  Very strange.  I downloaded the 14.04 64 bit package and installed from USB  and apparently it has 13.10 packages.15:13
OerHeksTomAstro, is this an upgrade from 13.10 ??15:14

=== luke is now known as Guest31763
zykotick9baum: oh, i'm a person who uses /opt but i don't have executables directly in /opt they're in /opt/subdirs/  but by default, it doesn't make sense.  Add it to your path if you want, or do as i do, and just create links in ~/bin15:15
TomAstroOerHeks: I wonder if at the time I download 14.04 trusty someone was working on the package and posted 13.10 under the 14.04.   I did an LS -a to get the version and it did say 14.04.  Thats real odd15:16
TomAstrols -a......15:17
baumzykotick9: i see. Well, what's the standart-way to do it? path, ~bin, or something else? (i don't want to develop bad habbits)15:17
zykotick9baum: when dealing with out of repo/unsupported software, i'm not sure there is a "standard" way...15:17

TomAstroYep  this is doing a full upgrade here.15:18
krambiorixanyone else?15:19
baumzykotick9: i see, thanks15:23
baumzykotick9: but you create the links in ~/bin - not /bin right? may i ask why?15:24
zykotick9baum: i _attempt_ to impact system folders as little as possible... for _me_ this includes /usr/ and everything under it, including /usr/local... but that's just my preference.15:26
OerHekstubejockey, fix your connection please15:26

baumzykotick9: ah well, i was just wondering since /opt/ is globally acessible, however ~/bin/ isn't.15:28
baumzykotick9: but i get the idea - thanks15:29
zykotick9baum: if you have multiple users, perhaps $PATH would be better?  i only have one, so for me, ~/bin is easy... but YMMV15:29

livepiti made a service and placed it in /etc/init.d/tac_plus. i'm trying to get it to start at start up. i ran "service --status-all" and it shows a - next to it. i then ran sudo update-rc.d tac_plus defaults which seems to have taken the comand but it still has a - and doesn't start up. it does work when i do "service tac_plus start". what am i doing wrong?15:36

Sramelyor3301Hey guys I have a problem. I want to dual boot windows and ubuntu. I already have ubuntu on the system now how do I go about installing windows. Most of the websites show by starting off with a windows OS and installing ubuntu how do I go about by installing windows after having installed ubuntu 14/1016:27
Sramelyor3301*14.1016:27
Sramelyor3301Do I have to use gparted. If so how?16:28
SchrodingersScatSramelyor3301: windows normally messes up the bootloader, so you have to go back and fix it.  Otherwise afaik it should be the same, give it space to install to, watch it do wacky things, go back and fix grub from a liveusb16:29
Sramelyor3301I am sorry I didn't get u. How do I go about doing that.16:29
Steven77normally you go visa versa16:29
Sramelyor3301Yes. But now I am stuck16:30
Steven77first windows then linux16:30
EarloSteven77, Vice versa16:30
Steven77or follow the lead form SchrodingersScat16:30
Sramelyor3301I don't seem to be able to download windows 8 iso but I have a installation media. Problem is virtualbox just doesn't accept or read my usb media hence the problem. So I decided to go with dual booting16:31
Steven77yes Earlo pardon my french ;)16:31
EriC^Sramelyor3301: try making an .iso of the installation media16:32
Sramelyor3301I did16:32
Sramelyor3301I tried16:32
Sramelyor3301but virtualbox isn't accepting that either16:32
EriC^what did you do?16:32
EarloSteven77, Sorry for grammar nazi, but visa versa sends pings me, since i have set my client to notify if someone says visa16:32
EriC^sudo dd if=/dev/sdX or sdxY ?16:32
Sramelyor3301idk which one exactly but it was something like that. It took a very long time. Made the iso from the usb. Tried booting up the virtual machine. Blank with some error message16:33
Steven77ok si Sramelyor3301 what exactly i you trying to pull ?16:34
Steven77you have a system with ubuntu on it ?16:34
jamie_teknotus: was it you that was helping me last night with the messed up upgrade16:34
Sramelyor3301yes. I have ubuntu utopic unicorn16:35
Steven77ok , so download gparted to make some space for windows16:35
Sramelyor3301I want to install windows.16:35
Sramelyor3301I have gparted16:35
Sramelyor3301But I have no clue as to how to use it16:35
Steven77then create space ( like 60GB ) for windows16:35
Sramelyor3301Last time I used it it caused grub to fail16:35
Sramelyor3301Steven77 can u instead help me in making a virtual machine16:36
Sramelyor3301I would like that rather than dual booting16:36

Guest34416Hi, guys, I'm using linux lite, and no one is over on that channel. I just did an update. Does auto clean clear out the old stuff and keep the new? How do I clean out the old?17:44
TheNumbZeloZelos: unless you want to install xfce only.17:44
ZeloZelosit took soo long to finally get ubuntu installed, i just want to switch the desktop to xfce17:45
TheNumbGuest34416: the old packages are replaced by the new ones.17:45
TheNumbGuest34416: no need to clean anything :)17:45
emashis there an easy way to make mbr partitioned usb pendrive ubuntu bootable in efi?17:46
Guest34416well, my question is, that when I use bleachbit and check the autoclean after updating, it gets rid of quite a few mbs. I hope it's erasing the old.17:46
k1lGuest34416: no need for bleachbit17:46
k1lGuest34416: you can use "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean"17:47
k1lGuest34416: and for the future: if you want support use a distro that offers support.17:47
Guest34416ok thanks ya17:48
ZeloZelosi think that if i was to turn off all the extra effects (windows fading in and out, animations etc) it probably would be all right, but i cant seem to find the option to do so...how do i do this?17:49
karen_Hi, don't you think bleachbit is a good thing? It appears like it sees and cleans a lot of stuff. What do you think about that?17:53
=== FG_Hurz is now known as FG-Hurz
k1lkaren_: i dont believe in programs that do some magic and tune your system. if the program considers some data not to be removed i dont think its wise to let bleachbit remove that data. for the package-managment you can use the apt-get commmands i just named17:55
karen_ya thank you! I did that, and it didn't seem to erase anything, so I guess I'm good.17:55

stacks88just installed ubuntu server 14.04.2. it has ssh on it thats it. i saw in /etc/ssh/sshd_config it says PermitRootLogin without-password which is great. I then saw how it says #AuthorizedKeysFile %/.ssh/authorized_keys which is commented out... Yet i was still able to go to /root/ and mkdir .ssh and then create a authorized_keys file and put in my public key for my computer at home , and i am18:14
stacks88now able to ssh -l root IP and log in without a password.. How is this possible if its commented out in the sshd_config ?18:14
=== CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob
stacks88I think whats happening is, its by default %/.ssh/authorized_keys , and if you want it to be something ELSE, then you uncomment it out and define it18:16
stacks88that must be it18:16
stacks88so is this the right procedure i should be following with my servers: To always login as a user, then sudo -i to become root -- and never define a root password ? and keep ssh as root to without-password ? like is this the right philsophy i should be having18:17
stacks88cause i still enjoy being root or, not having to constantly put sudo before everything18:18
Ali_Hi18:19
treelzebubstacks88: specifying a root password breaks a fundamental convention of all unix-like platforms. probe shouldn't ;)18:19
daftykinsstacks88: i would not permit root login at all, indeed, then use the standard user to connect in then yes 'sudo -i' as you say18:19
ifohancroftHello guys. I am using Kubuntu 14.10 x86_64 and I have just installed the Ubuntu Software Center. Why can't I see apps in it that I can see in https://apps.ubuntu.com?

Ali_I have a question about probabilistic language can I ask it here?18:19
stacks88thank you guys18:19
treelzebubexcellent question, though!18:20
ifohancroftAre there any changes made about that in 14.10? Like no more purchasable stuff or something18:20
Maimsterstacks88: Very dangerous way to use UNIX based systems.18:20
daftykinsAli_: doesn't sound like Ubuntu support to me18:20
stacks88Maimster what is dangerous? to login as a user, sudo -i and not have a root password ?18:20
Maimsterstacks88: Using root via ssh without the password.18:20
Maimsterstacks88: If the box doesn't have Internet access then might be okay. Just be careful.18:21
stacks88oh i see what ur talking about, the earlier post, where i mentioned ssh'ing in as root18:21

WugWhat I'm trying to do is run a remote X server and a local X server that display the same content. is this possible19:05
OerHekshome, seems to come from docutils http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/rst2html.1.html19:05
WugI'm not a huge fan of VNC, in my experience it only performs acceptably over a lan19:06
OerHeks!find python-docutils19:07
ubottuFound: python-docutils19:07
ZeloZelosthe wireless reciever is a netgear wg111v2 if that helps at all19:07
WugI have looked at xdmx, but it does not seem obviously useful in this regar19:07

I have to install fraps on the computer so the game can be recorded (a child's game for a friend's project).

mchelen1is there any way to refresh the list of available wifi networks?19:16

mchelen1shadytv: hmm there is no other way? it sees many wifi networks just fine, but it won't detect a new network for some time if i just turned on the wifi router for example19:18

daftykinsJFlash: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" might shed some light on what's up20:00

Iw43daftykins, I dont know if that's what i am asking. but one is not as bright as the other, in general, actually, quite dim in comparison21:04
daftykinsIw43: i take it they're different makes + models? not identical?21:04
Iw43daftykins, same make, but different model21:04
daftykinsyeah so not really an ubuntu issue21:04
Iw43but same ubuntu version21:05
vltIw43: Different model. That’s enough reason ;-)21:05
Iw43is it because the resolutions are different?21:05
vltIw43: Try two identical and come back if they show veeery different brightness.21:05
vltIw43: No, it’s because they are two different models.21:06

mekhamiAnyone know why my USB loader might not be working?22:39
daftykinsmekhami: try from Windows yeah, using Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com22:39
k1lmekhami: just use "dd" to burn the image onto the usb22:39
k1lsome "make usb" tools corrupt the iso22:40
OerHeksXYZAFFA1R, check the wineHQ database, for tips.22:41
OerHekselse your intel gpu is not that strong for 3d gaming22:41
XYZAFFA1ROerHeks, It runs smoothly in windows on my computer, but I don't have windows anymore.22:42
JFlashguys, how do I reinstall ubuntu without a cd or flash drive22:43
k1lXYZAFFA1R: better ask the wine guys. seems like the wine layer is the issue there22:43
EriC^^JFlash: you want to fresh install?22:44
k1lJFlash: pxe boot or let grub load the iso. but its most easy just to get a dvd or usb drive22:44
JFlashEriC^^,  well anything that can fix what I screw up :(22:44
EriC^^JFlash: you could dd the partition of your installation22:45
EriC^^and if it gets really bad you could just dd it back22:45
JFlashwhat does dd mean22:45
EriC^^diskdump, it's a tool22:45
JFlashwhat can I find a step by step that I can follow22:45
JFlashI'm not an advanced user22:45
OerHeksXYZAFFA1R, i just google around and find this, http://www.sysads.co.uk/2014/06/install-league-legends-ubuntu-14-04/  you need to install more stuff22:46
JFlashhow do I make sure I have such a partition?22:46
EriC^^it's pretty straightforward, dd if=<input file> of=<output file>22:46
EriC^^JFlash: like sudo dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/save/partition.img22:46
JFlashok but I dont have the media to save it on22:46
JFlashmaybe I'm not following22:47
JFlashi don't have the phisical media22:47
pgunnarsSeems like all the hex editors have varying usability. I need a hexeditor that can search a 17gb binary file, and add into the middle of it (not editing, adding).22:47
daftykinspgunnars: 17GB binary? of what?22:48
EriC^^you'd have to save it on your pc somewhere, and use ubuntu if it's still somewhat running or boot a liveusb to restore it22:48
EriC^^JFlash: ^22:48
JFlashagain22:49
JFlashI don't have media22:49
JFlashI want to reinstall from hard drive22:49
EriC^^JFlash: if you make a separate partition with just an ubuntu iso and it22:49
JFlashin widows I can restore the system22:49
EriC^^you could boot the iso and restore when you want22:49
JFlashis there such thing in Ubuntu?22:50
EriC^^it's somewhat of a headache but it's a suggestion if you want to restore your system in case it goes boom22:50
JFlashwhere is the ISO?22:50
EriC^^releases.ubuntu.com22:50
JFlashah ok22:51
JFlashso it's something I have to download22:51
EriC^^yeah22:51
JFlashhey I have this in my external drive22:51
JFlashI already have it22:51
JFlashwhat do I do with it?22:51
EriC^^if you have an external drive22:51
JFlashit's not a flash drive thou!22:51
JFlashit's hard disk22:52
EriC^^then just dd your installation there, and if you ever need to restore just dd it back from there22:52
EriC^^you can boot the .iso i think from there no problem maybe someone can confirm22:52
JFlashEriC^^,  maybe you did not follow, the reason I need to reinstall is that the system is broken22:52
JFlashI screw up the config22:53
EriC^^what config22:53
JFlashwell it doesnt detect the HDMI port anymore22:53
JFlashit's not even listed on xrandr22:53
EriC^^what config file did you change?22:53
JFlashid not change anything manually I just stopped working22:54
JFlashmaybe some kernel update22:54
EriC^^did you try an older kernel?22:54
JFlashbut then I tried a few kernels and nothing worked22:54
JFlashI tried many things, I ahve been trying things for 5 hours22:54
JFlashI really need my second screen back :(22:55
daftykinsEriC^^: i was following this one earlier, definitely need a live session booted to be able to diagnose further22:55
daftykinsJFlash: you're going to need to obtain a flash drive22:55
JFlashouch22:55
daftykinsor perhaps a kind soul will help you add a manual GRUB entry to boot a .ISO from your /boot partition directly22:56
JFlashcan't I just get a fresh install rather than continue to try to battle this?22:56
daftykinswell yes but you say you have no flash drive or DVD to put Ubuntu on22:56
JFlashthat's right , I don't22:57
JFlashsorry I just happen to come recently from windows22:57
daftykinsso you're out of options22:57
daftykinshonestly you can even buy flash drives in supermarkets now22:57
JFlashso it's hard for me to grasp that I cannot restore my computer to a fresh , safe state22:57
JFlashthat 's a bit mind boggling to me22:57
daftykinswhy? only Windows 8 offers this functionality as you describe.22:58
JFlash(without using accessories, that's what I mean)22:58
dawnsonThe installer does not detect any keyboard (after grub, when selecting languages)22:58
daftykinswell, kind of macs too i suppose22:58
daftykinsbut they just clean install over the internet22:58
dawnsonFound several bug reports for multiple Ubuntu versions all as won't fix because no new ISO for that Ubuntu version22:58
dawnsonWtf?22:58
daftykinsdawnson: are you talking about 15.04 ?22:59
dawnsonYes but have the same issue with 14.10 ISO22:59
JFlashI have SD cards22:59
JFlashwill those do?22:59
dawnson(Both server ISO)22:59
JFlashI have a raspberry pi22:59
JFlashlol22:59
daftykinsJFlash: you can try. it's up to your system whether it can boot from them22:59
JFlashI'm f*cked22:59
EriC^^JFlash: did you do an update or something before it disappeared?23:00
daftykinsdon't use even obfuscated language in here please23:00
JFlashEriC^^,  maybe, I use the computer all day23:00
JFlashEriC^^, I do have a log online, 1 sec23:00
k1lJFlash: the most easy way would be to grab a dvd or usb-pendrive23:00
mekhamithis isn't exactly ubuntu related, but any idea why my new SSD might not be detected?23:00
dawnsonI tried every setting and no matter if I boot from bios or Efi23:01
mekhamiIt's all connected but the bios doesn't notice it23:01
k1lJFlash: but since you deny that easy way, you need to take more effort now to make a reinstall. look at pxe boot or try to boot the iso with grub23:01
dawnsonKeyboard does work fine in grub but not In installer23:01
JFlashEriC^^, http://pastebin.com/ZatXiBMN23:01
k1lmekhami: hardware failure? does the bios support ssds?23:01
JFlashEriC^^,  problem started when I got back home around 4 pm and trided to re-connect the TV23:01
k1ldawnson: what keyboard?23:02
k1ldawnson: some special hardware has issues with the kernel. which gets loaded after grub23:02
dawnsonI tried a wireless Logitech one and a wired (usb) roccat one23:02
JFlashk1l, ok I will try to read about those23:02
dawnsonNothing special about this. My Efi/bios supports both23:03
dawnsonEven windows 7 installer works fine23:03
EriC^^JFlash: did you check dmesg or the xorg logs?23:03
dawnsonThe only other keyboards I have besides those 2 are all Bluetooth so no option to use them during setup23:03
JFlashEriC^^, daftykins did look at xorg logs23:05
JFlashEriC^^, don't remember have trying dmesg23:05

dawnson(The device I am trying to install on is an i5 Intel nuc23:07
dawnsonI know it is possible because I had Ubuntu on there before, but I don't know how I did it back the23:08
dawnsonHaven't changed any device settings either23:08
JFlashEriC^^,  what should I look for in dmesg?23:09
deadmunddawnson: I just got here,  what is the issue you're having??23:09
k1ldawnson: could be a kernel issue?!23:10
dawnsonDeadmund: keyboard not working in installer for server image23:10
dawnsonBut works fine in grub23:10
dawnsonK1l: with 2 different kernels? Unlikely23:11
deadmunddawnson: very strange.  I have no idea! :(23:11
dawnson(14.10 and 15.04)23:11
dawnsonHave this every time I want to install Ubuntu on any machine! Well not every time but annoyingly often23:11
k1ldawnson: ?!23:12
k1lon different hardware types with different keyboards?23:12
daftykinsdawnson: do you have the latest BIOS on this NUC?23:12
dawnsonI tried 2 different keyboards (all I have besides the Bluetooth ones) and tried the 14.10 and 15.04 kernels23:13
dawnsondaftykins: yes23:13
daftykins100% you checked intel's pages - you're not just saying yes to make it a problem here? :)23:14
dawnsonNo, I checked yesterday when I started using the nuc again after a few months (it had win7 installed for a while)23:14
JFlashguys could this tool help me: https://launchpad.net/systemback23:16
JFlashthey say the have sistem install and system repair23:16
dawnsonJflash: what do you want to do?23:16
deadmunddawnson: Have you tried a) resetting the bios to defaults (or looking at the bios for USB / USB+Keyboard options   and b) replugging the keyboard after you get into the installer?23:17
JFlashdawnson, repair my system , it's not working properly anymore23:17
JFlashdawnson,  been trying to fix it all day23:17
JFlashdawnson, it can no longer see HDMI port23:17
Johnny_Linuxi believe that is a back up first pgm23:17
deadmundJFlash: For that software package to help, you need to have made an image _before_ the problem started.  That way you have something to roll back to.  What issues are you having with your system???23:18
dawnsonDeadmund: yes, I tried the bios defaults and settings, I even tried the installer in Efi and bios mode. And yes, I tried re plugging the keyboard to another sub port when the language option step comes23:18

mekhamiwhen I do things like apt-get, do I always have to sudo?23:47
mekhamihow do i set up my user correctly this time?23:47

JFlashk1l, why no?23:48
