[00:00] <Jordan_U> discus: 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] <discus> Jordan_U: I see
[00:01] <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] <discus> more flexible as far as resizing them i. the future gies, or?
[00:01]  * discus goes
[00:02] <EriC^^> you can make more partitions if you want
[00:02] <Jordan_U> discus: 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] <tibiasoba> Testing
[00:02] <tibiasoba> Man..
[00:02] <EriC^^> to backup or make a separate /home or ..
[00:02] <tibiasoba> Has anyone tried out irssi?
[00:02] <discus> Eric well I cant since there will be no more disk space left
[00:02] <Jordan_U> tibiasoba: Just ask your actual question. If anyone can help, they will :)
[00:03] <EriC^^> discus: yeah but you can resize and repartition
[00:03] <discus> yeah
[00:03] <discus> ok logical partition it is then
[00:04] <discus> btw why is ubuntu making partition of 4095GB size when I entered 4096? this is for swap
[00:05] <Jordan_U> discus: First, you do not want 4095 or 4096 GB of swap.
[00:05] <discus> MB :)
[00:06] <Jordan_U> !screenshot | discus
[00:07] <discus> I cant take a screenshot because I am booting from ubuntu dvd, but I entered 4096 and it says (4094) in the table. odd
[00:12] <Jordan_U> discus: If you select "try before installing" then you can double click the installer from the desktop, at which point you can use firefox and any other programs while running the installer (which is just another window).
[00:13] <captainpicard> Installed Lubuntu 14.04, but having trouble with Firefox...for most web pages it says unable to connect, as if i dont have an internet connection. But I'm on the machine right now, connected to IRC just fine
[00:15] <captainpicard> www.google.com will load
[00:15] <captainpicard> but not much else
[00:16] <josselin> hello
[00:16] <josselin> is ther anybody french here?
[00:16] <josselin> is there

[00:16] <discus> Jordan: http://oi61.tinypic.com/an0h0i.jpg  http://oi61.tinypic.com/3462cfl.jpg
[00:16] <josselin> ok merci
[00:18] <josselin_> hey i have a little password problem
[00:19] <EriC^^> what's the problem?
[00:19] <josselin_> to install softwares
[00:19] <Jordan_U> discus: I don't know what's going on there.
[00:19] <daftykins> you're going to have to be a bit more descriptive than that, josselin_
[00:19] <josselin_> i'm sure to know exactly my password bit ut it's not recognized
[00:19] <josselin_> that worked yesterday
[00:19] <daftykins> caps lock on?
[00:20] <josselin_> yes
[00:20] <josselin_> what are caps
[00:20] <abortretryfail_> capital letters
[00:20] <josselin_> no it's not locked
[00:20] <EriC^^> num lock on?
[00:21] <josselin_> no
[00:21] <discus> 4097 -> 4095, and 4098 -> 4096. it is always off by 2
[00:21] <abortretryfail_> where are you typing the password? login? terminal?
[00:21] <josselin_> terminal and software center
[00:21] <josselin_> and in the archive gestionnaire
[00:21] <abortretryfail_> when you type it in terminal it is invisible
[00:21] <josselin_> yes
[00:22] <abortretryfail_> but i do not know about software center
[00:22] <josselin_> ok
[00:22] <abortretryfail_> in terminal it is supposed to be invisible so nobody can see. you just type the password and press enter.
[00:22] <josselin_> I know
[00:22] <abortretryfail_> ok
[00:22] <josselin_> it's just a bot boring
[00:23] <josselin_> a bit
[00:23] <josselin_> and annoying
[00:23] <abortretryfail_> yes a little
[00:23] <[Saint]> >.>
[00:23] <josselin_> anyboyd can help here?
[00:23] <josselin_> anybody
[00:23] <josselin_> nobody?
[00:24] <EriC^^> we still don't know what's the problem exactly
[00:24] <abortretryfail_> sorry i just got ubuntu a few days ago and i don't know it well
[00:24] <josselin_> ok eric
[00:24] <EriC^^> josselin_: did you login to ubuntu?
[00:24] <EriC^^> using your password
[00:24] <josselin_> yes
[00:24] <daftykins> josselin_: 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] <EriC^^> josselin_: ok, type groups
[00:24] <josselin_> ah no i don't have a passowrd to enter in ubuntu
[00:24] <kostkon> josselin, 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/resetpassword
[00:25] <locsmif> I 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 ubuntu
[00:25] <abortretryfail_> locsmif try looking it up? idk
[00:25] <josselin_> no it's not a problem of keyboard
[00:25] <kostkon> josselin, it's one password for everything. logging in, terminal commands, software centre, etc
[00:25] <josselin_> yes
[00:26] <kostkon> josselin, then reset it and create a new password http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[00:26] <josselin_> maybe i will try an install with a password
[00:26] <EriC^^> josselin_: you can reset your password
[00:26] <josselin_> thanks eric
[00:27] <josselin_> thanks all
[00:27] <josselin_> good night
[00:27] <kostkon> gn
[00:28] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: the best I could do was an askubuntu thread where OP claims he fixed the issue by switching to Mint ;)
[00:28] <abortretryfail_> ha
[00:28] <abortretryfail_> great fix /s
[00:29] <abortretryfail_> sorry i don't know though
[00:29] <locsmif> Ok say it happened just now.. I press double quote and press space but no double quote
[00:29] <locsmif> -say
[00:29] <locsmif> Normal double quote doesnt work either, nor single quote (as you can see)
[00:30] <locsmif> So its not like I accidentally switched layouts
[00:30] <locsmif> All I need to do is visit the keyboard layout tray icon menu once, and it works again ëäöéè
[00:32] <locsmif> I'm disabling the switch layout shortcuts, see if that helps, even though it doesn't necessarily *look* like this was the cause.
[00:37] <discus> crap.. I installed ubuntu and now nothing happens.. blank screen (but it is on). neither windows nor ubuntu boots, nor do I see dua-boot menu
[00:37] <locsmif> You do see the BIOS displaying, right?
[00:38] <daftykins> !nomodeset | discus try this
[00:39] <discus> locsmif: yes
[00:39] <locsmif> daftykins: he doesn't see the boot manager either
[00:39] <daftykins> there is no boot manager visible on a default install.
[00:39] <discus> (I see BIOS)
[00:39] <locsmif> daftykins: he has it installed alongside Windows
[00:40] <daftykins> locsmif: i know, i can read...
[00:40] <locsmif> So can I
[00:40] <locsmif> No need for hostility..
[00:40] <discus> did a hard reboot, and now I see boot menu
[00:40] <locsmif> Ah..
[00:40] <locsmif> But that's impossible
[00:41] <locsmif> Isn't it?
[00:41] <daftykins> locsmif: it's not hostility, it's someone replying to someone second guessing their every statement late at night XD
[00:41] <daftykins> so please, calm down
[00:41] <locsmif> daftykins: he's seeing a boot menu now..
[00:41] <locsmif> discus: anyways, try nomodeset
[00:41] <daftykins> aaaand still don't need the running commentary thanks :)
[00:42] <locsmif> Ah, I get it, I deserve the abuse. Okay.
[00:43] <DarkAceZ> I guess linux will be able to read ext4 in virtualbox if the host is a windows platform?
[00:43] <EriC^^> DarkAceZ: yeah
[00:44] <DarkAceZ> is there a simpler way to read ext on windows?
[00:44] <EriC^^> wait what, you want to read the actual hard disk?
[00:44] <DarkAceZ> yeah haha
[00:44] <locsmif> DarkAceZ: there are a few tools, but most of them are old
[00:45] <EriC^^> virtualbox won't do that, you'd have to make a raw disk image file and use it
[00:45] <DarkAceZ> I want to move some files from my ext4 external onto my sister's windows
[00:45] <locsmif> DarkAceZ: I used to use ext2ifs on Windows but that doesn't support Ext4, at least not with journaliing
[00:45] <locsmif> DarkAceZ: use a livecd or usb
[00:45] <EriC^^> DarkAceZ: boot a live usb and do it
[00:46] <DarkAceZ> well, I was hoping there was an easier way, but okay
[00:46] <DarkAceZ> thanks
[00:46] <EriC^^> live usb is pretty easy and simple
[00:47] <locsmif> DarkAceZ: http://www.ext2fsd.com/ perhaps
[00:47] <EriC^^> yeah check that out maybe
[00:47] <EriC^^> would be a more permanent solution
[00:48] <locsmif> But it still lacks full journaling support. Could result in data loss, who knows. Use at your own risk.
[00:49] <daftykins> DarkAceZ: given it's a sibling, are your computers not networked? is SCP not an answer?
[00:49] <discus> what boot manager is used by default?
[00:49] <locsmif> Then again, NTFS-3g still isn't ideal either
[00:49] <DarkAceZ> well, I have an NTFS partition on the drive for things like this, but the problem is that I'm out of space on both partitions
[00:49] <EriC^^> discus: grub
[00:50] <DarkAceZ> but I freed up some, and am just copying them to the NTFS for now
[00:50] <EriC^^> yeah just copy to the ext4
[00:50] <EriC^^> ( obviously )
[00:51] <daftykins> DarkAceZ: so, are they networked?
[00:51] <DarkAceZ> no
[00:51] <locsmif> DarkAceZ: so I guess your choices now are: 1. LiveCD/USB 2. Copy to NTFS partition if there's room 3. Networking 4. ext2fsd
[00:51] <DarkAceZ> she doesn't live here
[00:52] <DarkAceZ> I copied to the NTFS, although it wasn't as much as I was planning
[00:52] <locsmif> 5. Quantum Entanglement
[00:52] <discus> am I suppose to edit /etc/default/grub or /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[00:52] <DarkAceZ> that sounds perfect
[00:52] <daftykins> if they're even on the same network temporarily, a SAMBA share would be good
[00:52] <EriC^^> discus: /etc/default/grub
[00:52] <EriC^^> discus: what are you trying to do though?
[00:52] <abortretryfail_> i need help fixing a flash drive that became RAW. there was nothing on it so i dont need to recover the files. any ideas?
[00:53] <locsmif> what about /etc/grub.d/40_custom ?
[00:53] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: format it?
[00:53] <locsmif> partition it and format it
[00:53] <daftykins> discus: if this is for nomodeset, you're doing it wrong
[00:53] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: create a new partition table and format
[00:53] <abortretryfail_> it will not partition or format and it cannot be read
[00:53] <discus> Eric I want to change delay and OS that is booted by default
[00:54] <abortretryfail_> thats why i need help
[00:54] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: wow
[00:54] <EriC^^> discus: ok, sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[00:54] <locsmif> can you dd to it?
[00:54] <abortretryfail_> what is dd?
[00:54] <daftykins> abortretryfail_: it's probably game over. give up
[00:54] <EriC^^> discus: change default and timeout
[00:54] <EriC^^> discus: then save and sudo update-grub
[00:55] <abortretryfail_> daftykins: not until i try everything i can. it's my dad's 16gb flash drive
[00:55] <abortretryfail_> he wouldn't be very happy if i killed it
[00:55] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: i bought one for $13 or so the other day
[00:55] <discus> how can I see a list of boot entries? grub_default's value is an integer
[00:56] <EriC^^> they're really cheap these days
[00:56] <pavlos> abortretryfail_, dmesg should say if it 'sees' the usb stick
[00:56] <EriC^^> discus: grep -A10 menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[00:57] <abortretryfail_> the computer recognizes it but when i plug it in it tells me i need to format before it can be used. but it wont format and i tried chkdsk (this on windows) but it says the drive is in raw format and chkdsk doesnt work on raw
[00:57] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: did you try sudo fdisk /dev/sdX
[00:57] <EriC^^> and make a fresh partition table?
[00:57] <harushimo> has anyone installed openstack successfully?
[00:58] <discus> is safety from corrupted config file  the reason why we are not editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly?
[00:58] <EriC^^> no
[00:58] <abortretryfail_> i will see
[00:58] <EriC^^> cause update-grub uses /etc/default/grub and the files in /etc/grub.d/ to build that grub.cfg file
[00:58] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: sudo dd if=/dev/sdX count=1 2>/dev/null | hd -v  (replace X with your device letter)
[00:59] <EriC^^> discus: so you'd lose the changes whenever a new kernel is installed
[00:59] <locsmif> You should see a hexdump of what's currently in the MBR
[00:59] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: it's not write-protected with some kind of jumper, is it?
[00:59] <abortretryfail_> how do i know what drive?
[00:59] <abortretryfail_> oh no it's a normal unprotected drive
[01:00] <daftykins> locsmif: i'm sorry that you thought i was somehow abusing you by the way, i just didn't need copies of messages i already read on screen is all :)
[01:01] <locsmif> daftykins: no worries
[01:01] <daftykins> ^5
[01:01] <daftykins> it's all about the helping :)
[01:01] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: I do this so often I hardly know how to give you that info
[01:01] <abortretryfail_> where do i find the usb drive letter?
[01:02] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: sudo parted -l
[01:02] <locsmif> ah

[01:03] <locsmif> He can't talk anymore
[01:03] <EriC^^> i'd blast away the first portion of the disk
[01:03] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: use a pastebin for these sorts of things
[01:03] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: we can't hear you know but you can hear us, so I suggest trying that command
[01:03] <locsmif> you can pm me if you'd like
[01:04] <locsmif> Oh, nevermind, you can talk again :)
[01:04] <abortretryfail_> oops sorry
[01:04] <locsmif> !paste
[01:04] <abortretryfail_> i have never used xchat or irc so sorry lol
[01:04] <daftykins> abortretryfail_: are you 100% it doesn't have a slider on it/button to make it read only?
[01:05] <abortretryfail_> 100% sure. there's nothing on it

[01:06] <gzcwnk> I need some help with setting up 4 nics on 14.04, when I try and configure the 4th all networks stop working, I cant see why
[01:07] <abortretryfail_> i typed the commend

[01:07] <abortretryfail_> ok

[01:08] <daftykins> ip route ? :>
[01:09] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: seems alright and expected
[01:09] <locsmif> Now we should try to write

[01:09] <abortretryfail_> dmesg output
[01:09] <gzcwnk> I am specifying the hwaddress other wise the IPs jump to teh wrong nic, works Ok til eth2 for eth3 it then breaks them all
[01:10] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=1  (again, make sure sdb is correct, at your own risk)
[01:10] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: ah, the dmesg output was directed @ gzcwnk, but I'll take it ;)
[01:10] <locsmif> [ 5563.901742] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off
[01:11] <abortretryfail_> what does that command do?
[01:11] <locsmif> Well, that's settled
[01:11] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: it writes zeros to the flash drive, first sector
[01:11] <abortretryfail_> oh lol
[01:11] <abortretryfail_> how long does it take?
[01:11] <locsmif> Should take 1s
[01:11] <gzcwnk> is there a way in ubuntu like RH to tell ubuntu which mac address =s ethX ?
[01:11] <abortretryfail_> then it should be done i think it is
[01:12] <locsmif> gzcwnk: used to ifconfig hw ether xx:xx:.. etc. but the MAC addy must be legal
[01:12] <abortretryfail_> 512bytes copied
[01:13] <EriC^^> type sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[01:13] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: ^
[01:14] <JuneBUG> someone should create NOOBuntu
[01:14] <gzcwnk> under redhat you have rules.d and specify the mac to ethX in that, ubuntu has no such thing?
[01:14] <locsmif> gzcwnk: no idea quite frankly, but probably, yes
[01:14] <locsmif> gzcwnk: /etc/network/interfaces I would think
[01:14] <gzcwnk> deleting eth3 and the network works again....just weird
[01:15] <abortretryfail_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10824737/
[01:15] <locsmif> gzcwnk: man interfaces  # should tell you how
[01:15] <abortretryfail_> what does that mean?
[01:15] <gzcwnk> I did that and it doesnt work
[01:15] <gzcwnk> when i give a hwaddress for eth3 all networks stop working
[01:15] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: type "o"
[01:16] <abortretryfail_> Created a new DOS disklabel with disk identifier 0xd838e729.
[01:16] <EriC^^> ok
[01:16] <locsmif> now "n"
[01:16] <abortretryfail_> ok
[01:17] <locsmif> gzcwnk: there should be some message logged somewhere informing you why
[01:17] <gzcwnk> looks like its a debian bug --> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/interfaces.5.html#contenttoc6
[01:17] <locsmif> but it could be a bug.. yes
[01:17] <gzcwnk> bugger
[01:18] <locsmif> gzcwnk: however, what you've just linked is not a bug
[01:18] <locsmif> It's more of less a feature of udev
[01:18] <gzcwnk> KNOWN BUGS/LIMITATIONS - See also Debian bug #101728.
[01:19] <locsmif> Yes, it's *mapped* as a bug
[01:19] <locsmif> And it concerns the random ordering of device names, because you should using unique hw identifiers to identify and configure them, not their *nix device names
[01:19] <gzcwnk> as it says the kernel goes randowm on u
[01:19] <locsmif> It doesn't have to be the cause of your problems, either, but, who knows, it could be.
[01:20] <locsmif> gzcwnk: yes.
[01:20] <locsmif> as expected.
[01:20] <abortretryfail_> i typed "n", now?
[01:20] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: you should get a question
[01:20] <gzcwnk> well redhat has it beat  ...
[01:20] <locsmif> or message
[01:20] <abortretryfail_> primary or extended
[01:20] <DarkNightHammer> hello
[01:20] <penos> hi
[01:20] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: primary
[01:20] <abortretryfail_> partition number 1-4
[01:21] <EriC^^> 1
[01:21] <penos> hey guys
[01:21] <gzcwnk> kind of a worry for a cluster if you lose the network...
[01:21] <abortretryfail_> first sector 2048-31266815
[01:21] <EriC^^> hit enter
[01:22] <locsmif> gzcwnk: yeah right https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-list/2013-February/msg00028.html
[01:22] <abortretryfail_> Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-31266815, default 31266815):
[01:22] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: enter
[01:22] <abortretryfail_> ok it created a partition
[01:22] <abortretryfail_> "linux"
[01:22] <EriC^^> type w
[01:22] <abortretryfail_> ok
[01:23] <abortretryfail_> partition table has been altered
[01:23] <locsmif> shouldn't it be a DOS partition
[01:23] <gzcwnk> in rh you can set the eth0 based on the pci bus position and hwaddress seems to be no issue
[01:23] <EriC^^> yeah what about the type
[01:23] <abortretryfail_> type LInux
[01:23] <locsmif> gzcwnk: this is a nonsensical discussion, you can do the same thing in Ubuntu, and Redhat also uses udev.
[01:23] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: press t
[01:23] <abortretryfail_> command not found?
[01:24] <locsmif> gzcwnk: unfortunately if you want to use Ubuntu you must learn to use Ubuntu, so read up on the documentation for fixing your ethernet device names
[01:24] <gzcwnk> hmm, my point is there seems to be no work around in ubuntu
[01:24] <gzcwnk> I was asking of there was a commonly known fix
[01:24] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: type sudo fdisk /dev/sdb again
[01:24] <EriC^^> and press t
[01:25] <gzcwnk> actually i came here for a pointer
[01:25] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: are you going to make a ntfs or fat partition?
[01:25] <abortretryfail_> fat32
[01:25] <abortretryfail_> default
[01:25] <EriC^^> ok
[01:26] <locsmif> gzcwnk: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/udev.htm for starters
[01:26] <abortretryfail_> selected partition 1
[01:26] <abortretryfail_> hex code
[01:26] <locsmif> b
[01:26] <EriC^^> 07
[01:26] <locsmif> hmm
[01:26] <locsmif> NTFS?
[01:26] <locsmif> ok
[01:26] <EriC^^> ah ok
[01:27] <EriC^^> b
[01:27] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: go with b
[01:27] <abortretryfail_> changed type of partition Linux to W95 FAT32
[01:27] <EriC^^> ok type w
[01:27] <abortretryfail_> ok
[01:28] <locsmif> gzcwnk: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man7/udev.7.html
[01:28] <OerHeks> gzcwnk, for VMS, also aplies to normal install http://chris.dziemborowicz.com/blog/2010/07/25/fix-missing-eth0-when-cloning-ubuntu-vmware-virtual-machines/
[01:28] <locsmif> also that
[01:28] <EriC^^> type sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sdb1
[01:28] <abortretryfail_> has it been formatted to fat32?
[01:28] <EriC^^> not yet
[01:28] <OerHeks> remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot
[01:28] <locsmif> it will after EriC^^ 's command
[01:29] <abortretryfail_> oh ok
[01:29] <abortretryfail_> ok now i have a usb icon on the side bar
[01:29] <locsmif> yay =)
[01:30] <abortretryfail_> :D
[01:30]  * locsmif high-fives EriC^^ 
[01:30] <abortretryfail_> did it work?
[01:30]  * EriC^^ high-fives locsmif 
[01:30] <locsmif> It appears so
[01:30] <abortretryfail_> yay!
[01:30] <abortretryfail_> thanks so much
[01:31] <locsmif> You're welcome, but remember if the device itself is a bit shaky then it may fail yet
[01:31] <locsmif> You want to do some testing with it
[01:31] <locsmif> Copy things back and forth
[01:31] <locsmif> Perhaps 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 pc
[01:32] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: another fine way of testing would be to toss into the fire and see if there any glowing inscriptions in elvish on it
[01:32] <EriC^^> lol
[01:32] <EriC^^> O.o
[01:32] <locsmif> If so, hide it and leave the Shire
[01:32] <DarkNightHammer> topic
[01:33] <locsmif> You're right. We must not utter that language here.
[01:33] <abortretryfail_> sorry i accidentally moved the ethernet cable
[01:34] <abortretryfail_> lol
[01:35] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: you should look into USB 3.0 usb sticks, too
[01:35] <EriC^^> the one i got was 3.0
[01:35] <locsmif> Me too
[01:35] <EriC^^> it was like $13 or something, i couldn't resist
[01:35] <abortretryfail_> i have no 3.0 on my motherboard
[01:35] <locsmif> But maybe others will, and it's backward compatible
[01:36] <abortretryfail_> i know i only have 1 usb stick, 4gb, this one was my dad's so it was important to fix it
[01:36] <locsmif> Back 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 disabled
[01:36] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: well, it appears to be now
[01:36] <abortretryfail_> yeah
[01:36] <locsmif> Any ideas about the dead keys thing?
[01:37] <abortretryfail_> woo! my windows 7 laptop detects it and it works
[01:37] <abortretryfail_> brought back from the dead
[01:37] <daftykins> you were using diskmgmt.msc in Windows i take it?
[01:38] <daftykins> to try and make use of it
[01:38] <locsmif> So the initial failure to work was when you tried to get it to work in Windows?
[01:38] <locsmif> yeah
[01:38] <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 work
[01:38] <EriC^^> abortretryfail_: dont mean to rain or your parade, i was just curious if somebody knew what i did wrong
[01:38] <abortretryfail_> no i wasn't using diskmgmt
[01:38] <locsmif> EriC^^: boot sector is slightly different
[01:38] <abortretryfail_> i didn't know of that
[01:38] <daftykins> ah
[01:38] <daftykins> there y'go :D
[01:39] <abortretryfail_> yeah it's ok lol my problem is solved (for now)
[01:39] <abortretryfail_> everyone else, go on
[01:39] <daftykins> i made an exFAT in Windows 7 that a mac couldn't mount a bit ago, turns out macs can't handle >1,024KB block size
[01:39] <abortretryfail_> lol
[01:39] <locsmif> EriC^^: also the File Allocation Table may have had a different cluster size, who knows.
[01:39] <dfgh> HDMI AUDIO NO WORK WHAT DO!?!?!?
[01:39] <locsmif> abortretryfail_: hey, you're allowed to enjoy this a bit
[01:39] <locsmif> dfgh: WHO KNOWS
[01:40] <xangua> !caps | dfgh
[01:40] <EriC^^> locsmif: i see
[01:40] <dfgh> help please
[01:40] <dfgh> HDMI AUDIO no work
[01:40] <EriC^^> dfgh: go to settings > sound and click on the hmdi output
[01:40] <dfgh> 14.04
[01:40] <EriC^^> *hdmi
[01:40] <locsmif> EriC^^: back in the good old days I used Norton Diskedit to fix FAT problems by hand
[01:40] <dfgh> there are no
[01:41] <EriC^^> locsmif: cool
[01:41] <dfgh> no in settings
[01:41] <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 it
[01:41] <locsmif> EriC^^: 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 string
[01:41] <dfgh> there are only integraten
[01:41] <locsmif> Not much use for practical purposes, only diagnostic.
[01:42] <dfgh> and no HDMI
[01:42] <dfgh> Only integrated audio in list
[01:42] <dfgh> What do?
[01:43] <melluk> dfgh: You using unity
[01:43] <dfgh> Ubuntu defoult
[01:43] <dfgh> yes
[01:43] <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 again
[01:43] <dfgh> So what do?
[01:43] <macibookg3> I 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
[01:43] <dfgh> Why so many bugs in Ubuntu?
[01:43] <EriC^^> it wouldn't change the partition type and whatnot right? locsmif
[01:44] <melluk> dfgh: in terminal type alsa-mixer
[01:44] <dfgh> no found
[01:44] <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 something
[01:45] <dfgh> u mean alsamixer?
[01:45] <EriC^^> locsmif: in windows i just right clicked and selected quick format in fat32
[01:45] <melluk> dfgh: yeah
[01:45] <locsmif> EriC^^: ah!
[01:45] <dfgh> there 2 but HDMI have no colonns
[01:46] <melluk> dfgh: unmute hdmi
[01:47] <dfgh> here no unmute
[01:47] <melluk> dfgh: does hdmi have 0 or m in the box.
[01:48] <dfgh> 00
[01:48] <dfgh> green
[01:48] <dfgh> but no have level
[01:49] <melluk> dfgh: it won't.
[01:49] <daftykins> sounds to me like proprietary graphics without the driver installed to make use of HDMI audio?
[01:49] <dfgh> what?
[01:49] <melluk> dfgh: apt-get install pavucontrol
[01:49] <daftykins> macibookg3: that's not a given across all models, no
[01:49] <dfgh> i installed
[01:50] <dfgh> there are HDMI yes
[01:50] <dfgh> but audio no work
[01:50] <melluk> dfgh: in pavucontro did you make hdmi default fall back
[01:51] <dfgh> how?
[01:51] <melluk> dfgh: run pavucontrol
[01:51] <dfgh> yes
[01:51] <dfgh> gui i see
[01:51] <dfgh> i changed to HDMI
[01:52] <dfgh> but i not lissen audio
[01:52] <melluk> dfgh: to the right of hdmi their is a box that sets fall back
[01:53] <dfgh> yes
[01:53] <dfgh> green button
[01:53] <dfgh> changed
[01:53] <dfgh> i no lissen
[01:53] <melluk> dfgh: http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/pavucontrol//screenshot.png
[01:54] <dfgh> what?
[01:54] <dfgh> i have 2
[01:54] <melluk> dfgh: are all volumes raised
[01:55] <dfgh> here orange level line dynamic work
[01:55] <dfgh> but i not lissen it
[01:55] <melluk> dfgh: on the output tab is hdmi set
[01:56] <dfgh> yes
[01:56] <abortretryfail_> wow, windows 7 uses nearly 3GB RAM at idle while ubuntu uses half a GB
[01:56] <dfgh> green button pushed
[01:56] <daftykins> abortretryfail_: no, memory usage is all rubbish due to cache
[01:56] <daftykins> abortretryfail_: also, this is a channel for support only - you can chat in #ubuntu-offtopic though
[01:56] <abortretryfail_> ok
[01:57] <melluk> dfgh: http://jan.newmarch.name/LinuxSound/Sampled/PulseAudio/images/pavucontrol.png
[01:57] <dfgh> u pushed integrated
[01:57] <abortretryfail_> i have to go so bye and thanks for the help
[01:58] <dfgh> i no see in unity HDMI
[01:59] <dfgh> what do?
[01:59] <melluk> dfgh: are you using dvi/hdmi adapter.
[01:59] <dfgh> all work in windows
[02:00] <dfgh> nvidia i use nvidi a+ smarttv
[02:00] <dfgh> just bug in ubuntu
[02:00] <dfgh> bye then thx u
[02:01] <daftykins> err
[02:01] <[Saint]> That was abrupt.
[02:01] <daftykins> yeah i'd have asked what driver was in use for said graphics card
[02:02] <melluk> dfgh: their are tricks using APLAY in terminal but you need to experiment
[02:02] <daftykins> user left, melluk
[02:02] <[Saint]> And gotten "the driver for gfx the smart tv of nvidia" as a response, probably.
[02:03] <[Saint]> ie. masochism.
[02:03] <[Saint]> "is ubuntu fault"
[02:03] <discus> can I set grub up to display boot menu on the second monitor, not the default one?
[02:04] <daftykins> only with an unnecessary amount of work, probably - discus
[02:04] <daftykins> or swap your displays over :P
[02:04] <discus> my 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 bios
[02:05] <daftykins> there won't be anything in the BIOS, no
[02:05] <macibookg3> I 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+ journalized
[02:06] <[Saint]> errr, macibookg3?
[02:06] <[Saint]> c/p snafu?
[02:06] <daftykins> macibookg3: 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] <daftykins> or SSD.
[02:07] <macibookg3> this is just FYI
[02:07] <macibookg3> for those that do not know
[02:07] <daftykins> macibookg3: there's no point sharing that information here
[02:07] <[Saint]> unless someone happened to ask for it.
[02:09] <macibookg3> ok now I know
[02:11] <broma0> Quick way to wipe a disk? (All partitions/everyrhing regardless of gpt or mbr)
[02:12] <daftykins> dd zero fill
[02:12] <daftykins> not quick though
[02:12] <daftykins> ;)
[02:12] <daftykins> possibly a secure erase, but those aren't guaranteed
[02:12] <locsmif> you can tune dd's block size to be faster
[02:12] <broma0> I don't need secure, i just want to see 320 gb of "free space" :)
[02:13] <locsmif> 10M seems to be a good block size iirc
[02:13] <locsmif> sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=10M of=/dev/sdX
[02:13] <daftykins> broma0: what? in that case just dd zero the first 100MB
[02:14] <daftykins> i thought you wanted to pass the disk on or something
[02:14] <broma0> daftykins: I'm reinstalling a distro from scratch
[02:14] <daftykins> yeah first 100MB then
[02:15] <locsmif> sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=10M of=/dev/sdX count=10
[02:15] <locsmif> replace the X of course.
[02:15] <broma0> locsmif: perfecto
[02:16] <broma0> Thanks!
[02:16] <locsmif> You're welcome
[02:16] <locsmif> and daftykins
[02:16] <daftykins> \o/
[02:16] <daftykins> !cookie | you two
[02:16] <locsmif> heh :)
[02:17] <[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.
[02:18] <daftykins> not 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.
[02:19] <locsmif> I've had issues with Ubuntu picking up on partition remnants on my USB sticks without zeroing out
[02:19] <[Saint]> and you can write a new table if you wanted.
[02:19] <locsmif> No idea how that happened precisely, but it did, until I went in and truly erased the partition/boot sector remnants
[02:20] <locsmif> Admittedly, I was tinkering about with a multiboot USB
[02:20] <[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.
[02:21] <locsmif> I do get nervous about dd and typos when pasting example oneliners
[02:21] <[Saint]> Oh noes! My X drive!
[02:21] <locsmif> ha ha
[02:22] <locsmif> It's where I store my X-files
[02:22] <daftykins> i really need to learn how to alias most of my advice so i don't type it every time
[02:22] <[Saint]> <slow clap>
[02:25] <EriC^^> daftykins: last week people were literally asking at the same time about making live usb's so i thought i'd make a page about using dd, but i kind of disregarded it or something
[02:26] <EriC^^> http://explosive.bshellz.net/dd/
[02:26] <daftykins> :D
[02:26] <EriC^^> there's a non-music version
[02:26] <EriC^^> i mean i made the page but i didn't finish it
[02:27]  * daftykins taps a finger to the tune
[02:27] <EriC^^> abandened the idea
[02:27] <EriC^^> lol
[02:27] <daftykins> magic :D
[02:27] <daftykins> now we just need helpees who'll read... ;)
[02:28] <EriC^^> yeah :P
[02:31] <daftykins> EriC^^: obviously not relevant to a short image copy, but kill -USR1 $PID_of_dd prints progress \o/
[02:31] <EriC^^> yeah
[02:44] <kageneko> hello world
[02:44] <gzcwnk> bugger what ever i do I cant get more than 3 nics going   :(
[02:45] <kageneko> Oh wow i'm actually connected. First time on IRC!
[02:45] <gzcwnk> telnet?
[02:47] <kageneko> irssi
[02:47] <gzcwnk> whimp :P
[02:47] <daftykins> off topic and childish to speak to someone like that about their client
[02:48] <gzcwnk> so you have no sense of humour...
[02:48] <daftykins> if you think that's funny, you need to try some real comedy :)
[02:49] <kageneko> actually i'm intrigued. Why is irssi considered "whimp"?
[02:50] <kageneko> Is there another client other people use? I'm new to IRC in general
[02:50] <daftykins> i believe it was an attempt at a joke based on elitism
[02:50] <Khew> I don't think it is, just compared to telnet maybe
[02:51] <kageneko> don't know what telnet is
[02:51] <xangua> !ot
[02:51] <gzcwnk> no....just use what you want.....such wars over bitchx etc was 15+ years ago
[02:51] <Bashing-om> kageneko: I have been around a bit ... and irssi is also my client of choice.
[02:51] <daftykins> aaaaaand back to topic we go :)
[02:53] <`hypermist`> EriC^^, what was the grep search thing ?
[02:54] <gzcwnk> anyone tried to add 4 or more NICS to a ubuntu box?
[02:54] <`hypermist`> or can someone tell me how to do a search via grep
[02:54] <gzcwnk> uh grep <whattolookfor> *
[02:55] <Khew> gzcwnk: never tried 4 but I have done more than one. I was tunneling the connection to a computer next to it.
[02:55] <gzcwnk> im ok to 3 then teh 4th makes eth0 die with no IP
[02:56] <gzcwnk> having no joy trying to sret in udev
[02:56] <gzcwnk> set
[02:56] <Khew> are they separate cards?
[02:56] <gzcwnk> no, virtuual nics
[02:57] <daftykins> aaah so it's a VM?
[02:57] <Khew> oh!
[02:57] <gzcwnk> yes
[02:57] <daftykins> often handy to be told that from the beginning (:
[02:57] <gzcwnk> 2 vms to build a cluster
[02:57] <gzcwnk> why would taht matter?
[02:58] <Khew> well I was going to ask if you were sure all the drivers were in order and that the hardware was tested
[02:59] <Khew> but there are lots of different types of network cards you can emulate, are you using something like virtual box?
[02:59] <gzcwnk> ah, ok....yes, though this is a trial run for a real t5500 i am about to buy, ithas a quad card in it
[03:00] <gzcwnk> VMWare's ESXi
[03:01] <Khew> unfortunately my experience runs out pretty quick, I would just poke around the logs if no one has other suggestions
[03:03] <gzcwnk> tried that and googling
[03:04] <gzcwnk> tried writing my own net persistant rules in udev no difference
[03:23] <TyrfingMjolnir> Is there a repo still open holding 6.06?
[03:23] <TyrfingMjolnir> Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS \n \l
[03:23] <daftykins> doubt it
[03:23] <daftykins> why on earth? :)
[03:23] <TyrfingMjolnir> Need openipmi
[03:25] <zorbs0ne> anyone have issues with their mouse pointer 'mirroring' a reflection of itself?
[03:25] <jason_> are you holding it upside down?
[03:26] <zorbs0ne> jason_: ?
[03:28] <jason_> semi joking. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by mirroring a reflection of itself.
[03:29] <pavlos> TyrfingMjolnir, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[03:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> I know the CDs
[03:29] <zorbs0ne> jason_: :), well randomly my mouse pointer, will replicate itself into two separate mice pointers.
[03:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> pavlos: Is there a pool on there too?
[03:30] <pavlos> TyrfingMjolnir, what do you mean?
[03:30] <jason_> zorbs0ne, so you literally have two pointers? for how long?
[03:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> Ideally I'd just change my sources list
[03:30] <Bashing-om> TyrfingMjolnir: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ . The .iso is avalable there .
[03:30] <zorbs0ne> no, just one, the left one does the clicking, the right is like a symbiotic creature.
[03:31] <zorbs0ne> i have to log out to get back to the 'one' pointer.
[03:31] <daftykins> z0rdoes it clear if you switch to a TTY then back?
[03:31] <zorbs0ne> or sometimes it will revert back.
[03:32] <zorbs0ne> daftykins: I'll try that next time it happens?
[03:32] <daftykins> sounds good
[03:32] <daftykins> probably won't matter, but worth a go
[03:33] <[n0mad]> does having 2 pointers make it twice as likely to click the correct thing?
[03:34] <zorbs0ne> [n0mad]: you should try and click on something after tippin' a few back and behind a pair of specs.
[03:57] <conner_> Anyone available to help me figure out a CDROM failure problem?
[04:08] <Sir_Leto> Anyone familiar with compiz-fusion? I haven't used since the 8th grade. I started it up and now all my panels are gone
[04:10] <xangua> Sir_Leto: sounds like you disabled the unity plugin
[04:11] <xangua> "started it" how¿
[04:11] <Sir_Leto> compiz-fusion --rplace
[04:11] <Sir_Leto> that broke even more thins enabling it again
[04:12] <Sir_Leto> *things
[04:12] <Sir_Leto> I'm not even sure what DE I'm using right now
[04:13] <xangua> Sir_Leto: If you were using Ubuntu default, you were already using compiz
[04:13] <Sir_Leto> I've installed a few DE's
[04:13] <ianorlin> why not restart lightdm and try to login to another one
[04:14] <Sir_Leto> I can't seem to type in the terminal now
[04:14] <ianorlin> !tty | Sir_Leto
[04:15] <Sir_Leto> I thanks
[04:19] <Sir_Leto> I restarted lightdm and that didn't help, and I can no longer get into tty
[04:19] <Sir_Leto> I might just manually power off
[04:22] <Sir_Leto> it's been 6 or 7 years since I've messed with this at all..
[04:36] <wodrow> hello everybabby
[04:41] <AirStar> i use ubuntu, i type command like this : apt-get install tree, but command don’t work? how can i do?
[04:43] <somsip> AirStar: type 'sudo' in front of it
[04:44] <AirStar> why? give me the reason? somsip

[05:59] <PHPLearner> hi
[05:59] <PHPLearner> Anyone here using Phalcon framework
[05:59] <PHPLearner> I have some problems here
[05:59] <PHPLearner> I just to do not know how to solve
[06:00] <PHPLearner> I can not delete files from my NetBeans IDE
[06:00] <DWTaylor> hi
[06:00] <PHPLearner> especially the cache files create by volt
[06:00] <PHPLearner> anyone have an idea here
[06:00] <PHPLearner> as this is also a ubuntu related problem
[06:01] <PHPLearner> I am not sure whether it is related to permissions or what related to the NetBeans IDE
[06:15] <teknotus> I'm trying to build a kernel package for a ppa and guides of what I need to do reference files that don't exist, and have no explanation of how to make those files.
[06:16] <Jamie_> shit... I think i may have screwed over my os
[06:16] <teknotus> I can build a package that will install locally, but it doesn't include a changed abiname, and there is no .changes file.
[06:17] <teknotus> Jamie_: What happened?
[06:18] <Jamie_> teknotus: I went to upgrade to 15.04 and when it got to do you want to remove packages i used the details to check them then went to hit enter so that it would go back to the options and only the command line poped up and it says i am on 15.04 but there was no restart no nothing
[06:19] <Jamie_> Im just about sure the update did not complete
[06:20] <Jamie_> teknotus: any sugestions
[06:21] <teknotus> Jamie_: open a package manager, and see what the current state of things is. There might be a bunch of stuff queued to happen.
[06:21] <teknotus> Jamie_: in which case maybe you can apply it.
[06:23] <Jamie_> teknotus: is there a way to do that with apt-get
[06:23] <hel0hel0> anyone know how to get ubuntu to install a 32bit os even if it's on an an amd64 cpu?
[06:23] <hel0hel0> i know the kernels run
[06:24] <hel0hel0> just don't know how to do an install that forces it
[06:24] <chaos_lly> just do it
[06:25] <Jamie_> teknotus: i cant even lauch muon discover
[06:26] <teknotus> Jamie_: You could try do-release-upgrade
[06:27] <teknotus> Jamie_: Look at logs for apt
[06:27] <teknotus> I use aptitude from the command line, but there is a learning curve for that.
[06:28] <hel0hel0> do-release-upgrade —force 32 or something?
[06:28] <hash4days> is aptitude better?
[06:28] <hel0hel0> that would actually be amaze
[06:28] <joey_> anybody know where i can get example code for libgnome-speech-dev or how to docs
[06:28] <hel0hel0> would be a goddamn miracle if it worked
[06:29] <Jamie_> teknotus: well i ran apt-get ugrade then update... and it went through sevearl
[06:29] <teknotus> hash4days: it is interactive.
[06:30] <Jamie_> i should have had to restart after a release change
[06:30] <Jamie_> teknotus: there are none in synaptic that are pending or need to be installed
[06:31] <teknotus> hash4days: I can figure out exactly all the changes I want, and manually fix dependency issues if the automatic solver decides to do something stupid.
[06:32] <teknotus> Jamie_: there is certainly a new kernel for 15.04, and the change to systemd from upstart can't happen without a reboot.
[06:32] <Jamie_> I know that
[06:32] <Jamie_> that is why im am kinda scared shitless
[06:32] <AirStar> i can install ‘homebrew’ on Ubuntu?
[06:33] <teknotus> Jamie_: Do you have a boot USB stick, or something as a backup plan?
[06:33] <Jamie_> ummm.... not that will hold all of what is on my computer
[06:33] <jzp113> hi  I have a problem why the ubuntu can't auto link 802.1x  when I open the computer
[06:33] <Jamie_> I have a total of i think 30 on seperate online save places
[06:34] <Jamie_> teknotus: Is there a way to change to a differnt version... like i can downgrade back to 14.10 then try again
[06:34] <teknotus> Jamie_: Even if your system is hoses unless you repartitioned, or deleted a filesystem all of your home directory should be intact.
[06:35] <Jamie_> well i dont exactly have a standard ubuntu
[06:35] <teknotus> Jamie_: Unfortunately I have never seen an OS updater that can go backwards well.
[06:35] <AirStar> i can install ‘homebrew’ on Ubuntu? i want install python to ‘/usr/local’ directory.
[06:35] <Jamie_> teknotus: so there is no way to downgrade.... :\
[06:36] <teknotus> Jamie_: 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 building
[06:36] <Jamie_> teknotus: how would i do that
[06:37] <somsip> Jamie_: no, you can't downgrade.
[06:38] <somsip> AirStar: use virtualenv
[06:38] <donniezazen> software updates is stuck on Running post-installation trigger update-notification-common
[06:38] <donniezazen> 24%
[06:38] <Jamie_> well this is really not my day
[06:38] <teknotus> I haven't tried to do a downgrade that way. Theoretically possible, but never tried.
[06:38] <AirStar> somsip: i want use ‘homebrew’.
[06:38] <somsip> donniezazen: leave it as long as you can, kill it if you need to (sudo kill the dpkg process in ps aux) and be prepared to have to --force something when you next use apt-get
[06:38] <Jamie_> teknotus: is there a way to redo and upgrade... aka trick the computer into doing another one
[06:39] <somsip> AirStar: sorry, I can't help with whining
[06:39] <donniezazen> somsip: sure. thanks.
[06:40] <somsip> Jamie_: summarise the issue for me again?
[06:40] <AirStar> somsip: homebrew is not installed to Ubuntu?
[06:40] <somsip> AirStar: no
[06:41] <teknotus> AirStar: there is a linuxbrew fork of homebrew
[06:41] <AirStar> oh
[06:41] <AirStar> then i can install python like ‘brew install python3’?
[06:41] <AirStar> teknotus:
[06:42] <hiexpo> AirStar, https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew
[06:42] <AirStar> good
[06:42] <AirStar> thanks
[06:42] <AirStar> hiexpo:
[06:42] <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 none
[06:42] <Jamie_> and the computer is registering as 15.04
[06:43] <somsip> Jamie_: 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 go
[06:44] <Jamie_> somsip: well is there a way to trick a computer into doing another upgrade by any chance
[06:44] <teknotus> Jamie_: Maybe sudo apt-get install –reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[06:45] <Jamie_> somsip: will try
[06:45] <teknotus> Jamie_: sudo apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk -F ":" '{print $2}' | \
[06:45] <teknotus> sed '/^$/d' | xargs sudo apt-get \
[06:45] <teknotus> install --reinstall --install-recommends --yes
[06:45] <somsip> Jamie_: try the man page for the command you ran (presumably do-release-upgrade) but #ubuntu+1 is the place to ask about 15.04
[06:45] <Jamie_> okay thanks
[06:46] <TyrfingMjolnir> How do I write the following in fstab? sudo mount -o loop /home/user/disk.iso /mnt/mount_point
[06:46] <teknotus> Oh I think you have to do an apt-cache update or it won't do anything
[06:47] <teknotus> Jamie_: Just like apt-get
[06:47] <dearhawk> hi noobs and tards. The Software Updater is stuck, nothing is happening. And I can't click the cancel buttun :(
[06:47] <somsip> teknotus: echo {line} | sudo tee /etc/fstab (but test it on a different file first to make sure it does not override the contents, or backup fstab before you do it)
[06:47] <robotdevil> how do I isntall to lappy without working cd rom and no usb boot
[06:48] <robotdevil> install*
[06:48] <TyrfingMjolnir> dearhawk: Are you using Unity or GNOME or something like that?
[06:48] <dearhawk> TyrfingMjolnir: xfce4
[06:48] <TyrfingMjolnir> robotdevil: debootstrap
[06:48] <robotdevil> oh right
[06:48] <TyrfingMjolnir> dearhawk: I'm just a ssh user
[06:48] <dearhawk> TyrfingMjolnir: is your updating messing too?
[06:49] <TyrfingMjolnir> No
[06:50] <robotdevil> average user, what is this about using unetbootin to hdd for same question ^^
[06:51] <Jamie_> somsip: thats for the idea for the apt-cache... but it didnt work... im gonna set up a usb drive and then try to restart
[06:52] <somsip> Jamie_: I think teknotus made that suggestion
[06:52] <nishantjr> Hi, I'd like my own application to handle the volume and mute keys, but it looks like unity is grabbing the mute key (but not volume). Is there a way I can disable it from capturing mute?
[06:52] <nishantjr> (14.04)
[06:53] <Jamie_> somsip: sorry
[06:53] <robotdevil> TyrfingMjolnir: that is running it under a different host though right
[06:53] <Jamie_> teknotus: thanks for the suggestion... didnt work... but im just gonna make a backup flash drive for incase it wont restart
[06:53] <robotdevil> debootstrap
[06:53] <monojin> did the kernel update the other day solve hdmi issues for other people?
[07:01] <PCatinean> Hey guys, how do I make my synclient changes stick?
[07:03] <TyrfingMjolnir> robotdevil: rebootstrap can run on any folder
[07:04] <TyrfingMjolnir> The outcome is less confusing if you run this at the root level of a device however
[07:05] <robotdevil> TyrfingMjolnir: the desired outcome is to have ubuntu installed natively without a cdrom or usb boot. Is this stil correct?
[07:06] <robotdevil> im not sure there is a working os on box
[07:07] <TyrfingMjolnir> Do you have any linux at all right now?
[07:07] <robotdevil> yeah
[07:07] <robotdevil> different machine
[07:07] <TyrfingMjolnir> with debian based system?
[07:07] <robotdevil> ubuntu
[07:08] <TyrfingMjolnir> Good
[07:08] <TyrfingMjolnir> Is the drive physically available?
[07:08] <TyrfingMjolnir> The one from the machine with no USB or CDROM?
[07:08] <robotdevil> not right now but could you continue with explaination. I can follow what your laying down
[07:08] <TyrfingMjolnir> Can you physically mount the drive from the machine with no USB or CDROM in the machine that currently has ubuntu running?
[07:09] <TyrfingMjolnir> man debootstrap in the terminal
[07:09] <robotdevil> well I would be able to attach to the desktop tower
[07:10] <TyrfingMjolnir> Here is the process
[07:10] <TyrfingMjolnir> https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
[07:10] <robotdevil> just been a long time since I ve reviewed any of this
[07:11] <TyrfingMjolnir> The 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] <robotdevil> but thats not using a host os all the time after install right
[07:11] <TyrfingMjolnir> There is some writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot
[07:12] <TyrfingMjolnir> robotdevil: What do you mean?
[07:12] <robotdevil> yeah I ve used chroot on a debian install years ago and gentoo I think
[07:12] <TyrfingMjolnir> This is what I would do
[07:12] <robotdevil> but FOREVER AGO
[07:12] <TyrfingMjolnir> 1) Mount the drive from the machine with no USB or CDROM in the machine that is already working
[07:13] <TyrfingMjolnir> 2) format the drive, you will find the volume name in: dmesg | grep sd
[07:14] <TyrfingMjolnir> 3) fdisk /dev/sdX
[07:14] <robotdevil> still folowing
[07:14] <TyrfingMjolnir> 4) mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdX3 or whichever partition you want to be your root, and others if partitioned separately
[07:15] <TyrfingMjolnir> Then 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/DebootstrapChroot
[07:15] <TyrfingMjolnir> 5) ^
[07:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> Remember to choose the correct arch
[07:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> 6) Detach hdd
[07:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> 7) mount hdd in other computer
[07:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> 8) boot
[07:17] <robotdevil> the bootstrap will install a bootloader as well?
[07:17] <TyrfingMjolnir> 5b) Not sure if grub has to be run before you detach the HDD
[07:18] <robotdevil> ok thanks for refresher
[07:18] <robotdevil> much appreciated
[07:19] <robotdevil> One more question, wubi is installed within windows correct?
[07:19] <TyrfingMjolnir> Remember to us uuids
[07:19] <TyrfingMjolnir> Windows is beyond me
[07:19] <somsip> robotdevil: yes it is
[07:19] <TyrfingMjolnir> Or above or below...
[07:20] <robotdevil> thanks
[07:23] <PCatinean> Hey guys, how do I make my synclient changes stick?
[07:26] <trijntje> !wubi | robotdevil
[07:26] <trijntje> wubi is not stable at all, I would not use it
[07:34] <arcsky> what do you guys recommend ansible or puppet or chef?
[07:35] <somsip> arcsky: they work in different ways. Define you use case (to yourself as this is offtopic here) and see which best fits your needs
[07:49] <PHPLearner> I want to extend the screen display of my laptop to another monitor
[07:49] <PHPLearner> what must I do to accomplish this
[07:49] <PHPLearner> I have connected the monitor's vga to my laptop already
[07:50] <PHPLearner> I am running Ubuntu 14
[07:50] <PHPLearner> please help
[07:52] <arcsky> somsip: i want to do security/packge updates. and lets say i want to do add a setting in apache.conf i want it to be distributed to all servers in web server class
[07:57] <somsip> arcsky: my previous reply still applies. It's OT, and you haven't defined your use case. Hint - how do you want it to be distributed.
[07:58] <trijntje> PHPLearner: system settings -> display
[07:59] <PHPLearner> I did already
[08:00] <PHPLearner> I am wondering my Ubuntu laptop does not detect the other monitor
[08:00] <Generator_> HI I have the following GPT configuration, http://fpaste.org/211118/8472414/raw/ , I want to remove sdb3 from md2 and add it to md3, now when I remove it from md2 its OK, but add it to md3 gives me error "mdadm: /dev/sdb3 not large enough to join array"
[08:00] <Generator_> Please help
[08:01] <PHPLearner> the other monitor says scanning but ends up giving a message 'Monitor Going to Sleep'
[08:01] <PHPLearner> I used the monitor on another laptop it works but with my Ubuntu laptop it is not
[08:01] <PHPLearner> My coursemate just used it
[08:01] <PHPLearner> but now I cannot
[08:01] <PHPLearner> I do not know what is wrong
[08:03] <nishantjr> PHPLearner, whats the output of xrandr?
[08:03] <Tumi> phplearner which GPU and drivers do you have, is the connection HDMI or DisplayPort or something else?
[08:04] <IncompleteJerk> hi, i am new to ubuntu and would like to setup something like a kiosk. any suggestions for a partitioning scheme on a 160GB hdd?
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> IncompleteJerk: i know there are some kiosk software packages to do what you need
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> IncompleteJerk: partition is the users choice, depends on your needs
[08:06] <IncompleteJerk> lotuspsychje: really? i'll try to research on that a bit. thanks! :)
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> IncompleteJerk: this guide looks interesting: http://thepcspy.com/read/building-a-kiosk-computer-ubuntu-1404-chrome/
[08:10] <PHPLearner> I do not know
[08:10] <PHPLearner> never mind the monitor was taken back by the admin personnel
[08:10] <PHPLearner> maybe it was defective
[08:10] <PHPLearner> I do not know
[08:10] <PHPLearner> anyway thanks fellas
[08:11] <PHPLearner> I just have to contend with this small monitor for now
[08:11] <PHPLearner> thanks for all your help
[08:12] <PHPLearner> Ok I got a new one
[08:12] <PHPLearner> now its connected to my laptop
[08:12] <Generator_> can anyone help me here with GPT?
[08:12] <PHPLearner> but it only displays whatever I have on my laptop's screen
[08:12] <PHPLearner> when I got to display and press detect display it does not respond
[08:13] <k1l_> PHPLearner: open system settings and then monitors. then set the settings you like there
[08:13] <k1l_> if you got a nvidia card or a amd card they do have own settings programs
[08:13] <k1l_> PHPLearner: but we need lots more details on that to help you
[08:13] <PHPLearner> the xrandr output is
[08:14] <PHPLearner> xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
[08:14] <PHPLearner> Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768

[08:14] <cluelessperson> PHPLearner, uh.. pastebin that  or my link just now
[08:14] <somsip> cluelessperson: you need the #python channel
[08:14] <k1l_> mixer93kg: please put all the command and ouput into a pastebin
[08:14] <cluelessperson> somsip, I'm banned there
[08:15] <cluelessperson> somsip, the mods are twats
[08:15] <mixer93kg> im new to linux
[08:15] <mixer93kg> how i do that
[08:15] <somsip> cluelessperson: language like that will get you no help from me either
[08:15] <k1l_> !paste | mixer93kg
[08:15] <cluelessperson> somsip, So you're twat too, that's fine.
[08:15] <cluelessperson> somsip, See the difference in context?
[08:16] <cluelessperson> "I'm offended!"  So?
[08:16] <PHPLearner> cluelessperson: I just pasted the result of the xrandr command
[08:16] <cluelessperson> be offended.
[08:16] <cluelessperson> PHPLearner,  so provide a link to it.
[08:16] <mixer93kg> i really dont get it, i use synaptic to update system and this happens E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
[08:17] <PHPLearner> http://pastebin.com/JxhhhhE1
[08:17]  * cluelessperson has trouble believing some people are so broken up by words, takes it as a sign of incredible weakness.
[08:17] <PHPLearner> that is the link to the xrandr command
[08:17] <k1l_> mixer93kg: open a terminal. then run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" after its done put all into a pastebin
[08:17] <IncompleteJerk> lotuspsychje: thanks! i skimmed the article and read some of it but i think i can't apply it in my case. i'm sorry if i hadn't made it clear. i'm setting up a school's computer laboratory.
[08:18] <PHPLearner> any ideas fellas
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> IncompleteJerk: and how many pc's will you be using for the kiosk?
[08:18] <PHPLearner> the extra monitor is just duplicating whatever is on my laptop's screen
[08:18] <PHPLearner> I want it to extend my laptop's display
[08:18] <IncompleteJerk> there are more than 100 pc's here. 128 to be exact. :)
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> IncompleteJerk: maybe check software centre for 'kiosk'
[08:18] <PHPLearner> thing is I went to display
[08:19] <PHPLearner> then click detect displays
[08:19] <PHPLearner> nothing happens
[08:19] <mixer93kg> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10825623/
[08:19] <PHPLearner> the checkbox on mirror display is disabled yet it duplicates the display of my laptop screen
[08:20] <IncompleteJerk> these pc's will be used by computer science students for their laboratory classes and when their class is finished or when the pc is shutdown or restarted, i need it to get back to it's original state.
[08:20] <PHPLearner> will restarting my laptop help

[08:23] <mixer93kg> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10825640/
[08:23] <k1l_> cluelessperson: pastebinit needs to be installed first, and then pastebinit can read files, no need to cat and pipe them
[08:24] <k1l_> mixer93kg: ok now run a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[08:24] <cluelessperson> k1l_, I like to just pipe always, because it works for both reading files AND getting the results of commands
[08:24] <PHPLearner> http://pastebin.com/M0wpmpmE
[08:24] <PHPLearner> that's the result for the lspci command from

[08:26] <cluelessperson> k1l_, I think it's perfect.
[08:26] <PHPLearner> anything I can to
[08:26] <k1l_> cluelessperson: its not. stop that in here. thanks
[08:26] <mixer93kg> what i have to do to fix it?
[08:27] <PHPLearner> k1l_: any suggestion man
[08:28] <vpghost> good
[08:28] <PHPLearner> Will restarting my ubuntu help
[08:29] <k1l_> mixer93kg: you system package management seems to be a mess. that could be caused by 3rd party packages or software or PPA that were installed. you need to try to "sudo apt-get install package" where package is the one that is mentioned to have unmet depencies and see why that cant be installed.
[08:29] <k1l_> mixer93kg: but first try a "sudo apt-get install -f"
[08:30] <PHPLearner> k1l_: any help
[08:30] <PHPLearner> with the monitor
[08:30] <PHPLearner> nishantjr: any help about the monitor
[08:30] <PHPLearner> Tumi: any help about the monitor
[08:30] <k1l_> PHPLearner: dont know sorry. i just know that SIS is poorly supported. you will need to dig informations about ubuntu and that specific video card and see if someone already fixed it.
[08:32] <mixer93kg> again same error
[08:33] <k1l_> mixer93kg: then try to install the mentioned packages one by one and see what they mention why they cant be installed. then try to install that packages. you need to get to the end of the line to get to know what is blocking

[09:04] <blueingress> Hi, How can I tail multiple logs from differnt servers to a console? Thanks.
[09:05] <sgo11> Do I need to install ubuntu-sdk for fixing this issue?
[09:07] <lotuspsychje> blueingress: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys know a push trick of the tail logs
[09:08] <blueingress> lotuspsychje, thanks
[09:09] <somsip> sgo11: I found installing the sdk from PPA brought in a lot of unwanted dependencies and things got ugly for a while, but that was on 14.04
[09:10] <sgo11> somsip, I am running latest 14.04. my problem is that I can not install qt5-default.
[09:11] <somsip> sgo11: I was answering your question about the sdk. I have no idea abot qt5, but wanted to give you fair warning if you were thinking of going down the sdk-from-ppa route
[09:12] <sgo11> somsip, 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.

[09:58] <gauker> how do I check which dns servers my ubuntu is using ?
[09:58] <vlt> gauker: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[09:59] <gauker> vlt: it points to 127.0.1.1 ?
[09:59] <vlt> gauker: Is that a question?
[09:59] <amnesiak> vit that gives you the list of servers not necessarily the one thats resolving dns queries
[10:00] <gauker> vlt: more confusion; am looking for the actual dns servers that are queried
[10:01] <SomeT> I have a quick question, my university is telling me to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (Trusty Tahr) x86, I have x64 bit machine, is there any advantage I can give myself to installing x64 version of this?
[10:01] <vlt> gauker: I think, "dig" would tell you in its "ANSWER" section.
[10:01] <cfhowlett> SomeT, same process.  why did your uni specify x86?
[10:01] <SomeT> I have no idea why they specified this
[10:02] <gauker> vlt: dit shows ";; SERVER: 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1)"
[10:02] <SomeT> just out of ease and lesser failure for noobs perhaps?
[10:02] <cfhowlett> SomeT, might be worth asking.
[10:02] <SomeT> they take so long to respond
[10:03] <vlt> gauker: Then that is the actual server. Something on your local machine.
[10:04] <gauker> vlt: right, Im trying to diagnose slow dns issues; hence I want to know which dns servers my local dns server is querying
[10:04] <amnesiak> gauker: you have a local dns caching server lik vlt says
[10:04] <amnesiak> gauker: prime suspect would be dnsmasq
[10:05] <Eightynine> Hi. I have tearing in Firefox. How to get rid of it? I know that I haven't tearing in Chromium and Chrome, maybe install Chrome?
[10:05] <gauker> amnesiak: yep, dnsmasq is listening on port 53
[10:06] <amnesiak> gauker: then take a look at dnsmasqs config to see which external dns servers are specified
[10:09] <gauker> amnesiak: thanks, /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager is the only file I can find and the only conf it has is "bind-interfaces"
[10:09] <gauker> amnesiak: no sight of external dnsservers
[10:09] <DazPetty> what file calls xinitrc? for starting the window manager?
[10:10] <do0fY2> HI, someone here who would help a linux noob with 2-3 issues?
[10:11] <amnesiak> DazPetty: possibly xinit
[10:11] <cfhowlett> !ask | do0fY2
[10:12] <do0fY2> i have an zentyal system set up here. 1 SSD for System and 2 4TB Hdds for storage. No i want the 2 Hdds to be mounted into an directory. permanently. i tried with google, but it seems, that i am just to stupid
[10:14] <amnesiak> gauker: is there no /etc/dnsmasq.conf ?
[10:15] <gauker> amnesiak: nope, but I did find /etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf and /run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.conf
[10:15] <gauker> amnesiak: not sure which one to edit though
[10:16] <amnesiak> gauker: ubuntu has made a pigs ear out of dns configuration in the last few years no thanks to network manager
[10:17] <gauker> amnesiak: heh
[10:18] <amnesiak> gauker: are you just trying to find which servers youre using or did you want to change them?
[10:18] <gauker> amnesiak: both ideally
[10:19] <adamdalg32> exciting
[10:19] <adamdalg32> ...
[10:19] <amnesiak> well you could look at those dnsmasq.conf files you found to see which ones youre using
[10:20] <gauker> amnesiak: one is empty and the other has xml in it ??
[10:20] <amnesiak> if you want to change them then its probably easier to manually configure new dns servers on the interface via network manager
[10:21] <gauker> amnesiak: I can just edit resolv.conf ?
[10:22] <gauker> s/can/could
[10:22] <chotaz`w> Good morning guys! Or whatever fits your timespan :P I need some help figuring out why I intermittently need to run "sudo lsusb" after boot to get my USB ports working. I have no idea how to go about debugging and further more, fixing this
[10:22] <amnesiak> gauker it will be overwritten at the next boot
[10:22] <gauker> amnesiak: how do I make it persist ?
[10:26] <amnesiak> gauker: you could try editing /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
[10:27] <amnesiak> gauker: and add nameserver entries to that
[10:28] <gauker> amnesiak: thanks
[10:28] <gauker> amnesiak: that also has a warning that it'll be overwritten though ?
[10:28] <amnesiak> gauker: :(
[10:30] <amnesiak> gauker: the only other thing i can think of is dhclient.conf and using the "prepend" setting
[10:31] <hamsies> user@ubuntuCarp:/opt/odoo/addons$ cp website_multi_image/website_multi_image website_multi_image
[10:31] <hamsies> cp: omitting directory ‘website_multi_image/website_multi_image’
[10:31] <hamsies> im trying to put folder/folder into /folder
[10:31] <gauker> amnesiak: thanks, I did edit head and reboot and the changes have persisted
[10:33] <amnesiak> gauker: yeah was just about to say the .head file just carries that as a default warning so as not to edit the resolv.conf file when created
[10:33] <amnesiak> gauker: is really an overcomplicated mess now with dns
[10:33] <gauker> amnesiak: yeh, thats weird, so the actual file won't be edited at all then ?
[10:34] <gauker> amnesiak: thanks for navigating me through it!
[10:34] <zy3pD> i wanna convert a video from ts to mp4 or something like this on commandline this way: inputvideostream | convert-to-mp4 -o video.mp4 ... can u guys help me?

[10:35] <gauker> amnesiak: okay, thanks
[10:36] <grishzakyan> hello everybody
[10:36] <amnesiak> gauker: ive had resolv.conf not include the changes in the .head file before for some strange reason
[10:36] <stegomon> hi!
[10:37] <grishzakyan> who can help me?
[10:37] <gauker> amnesiak: yeh, I have to reboot for it to inc. the changes
[10:37] <grishzakyan> i have wireless network problem
[10:38] <amnesiak> gauker: i think resolvconf -u will reload the config too
[10:38] <gauker> amnesiak: okay, thanks

[10:41] <TheNumb> !patience | grishzakyan
[10:42] <grishzakyan> okay, thanks
[10:42] <sgo11> this is damn weird. the unmet dependencies errors are fixed by `apt-get install libgles2-mesa-dev` manually.

[11:08] <hi-tower> Hello! I have a problem with velvet installation on an eeepc. There are separate / and /usr partitions. / is 4GB and somehow filled up. Unable to locate the file(s) that are clogging my partition. Kindly asking for advice
[11:09] <hi-tower> I am trying with "du" command and checked the usual suspects (/tmp/, /var/log)
[11:09] <hateball> hi-tower: is this a fresh install or upgrade? have you checked /boot for old kernels?
[11:10] <hi-tower> Hateball: this was a dist-upgrade. I found an old kernel at /boot and modules at /lib/modules. I removed them
[11:10] <hi-tower> hateball: would you confirm that 4Gb is plenty enough for a typical install, with a separate /home and /usr partitions?
[11:12] <g105b> Since upgrading my packages, I can't launch Nautilus. No output in terminal, nothing. Any ideas of where to start debugging?
[11:14] <hateball> hi-tower: and you've done "apt-get autoremove" as well I take it?
[11:14] <hi-tower> hateball: for sure I did! :-)
[11:15] <philm88> Hi 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?
[11:19] <philm88> & I did check the gstreamer flags are true in about:config - they were by default
[11:24] <tiyteeze> can somone tell me how I can change the main repository of my apps for a one with the apps of non-supported ubuntu
[11:24] <hi-tower> in order to identify the culprit drive space clogger: I remember there used to be a tool graphically displaying the relative space usage in directories. could someone point me to the name of that tool? KDE preferred
[11:25] <k1l> baobab is a tool for ubuntu
[11:25] <Wug> hi-tower: I know there's baobab
[11:25] <k1l> dont know kde ones
[11:25] <hi-tower> Wug: ok will give it a try!
[11:25] <Wug> k1l: is too fast for me
[11:26] <techgrin> hi-tower: you could search for "winDirStat Linux alternatives"
[11:26] <k1l> for kde you want filelight
[11:26] <hi-tower> k1l: OK thanks! I will hopefully manage to install it without completely blocking that poor machine
[11:26] <zombiefox> hi-tower: sure, flielight
[11:26] <zombiefox> or bonobo for GTK stuff.
[11:26] <Wug> hi-tower: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=100844
[11:27] <hi-tower> Wug: cool! I will attempt to install it
[11:27] <Wug> you could also do it on the command line with du
[11:27] <hi-tower> techgrin: thank you. I was unaware of the name of the corresponding windows tool :-)
[11:28] <hi-tower> Wug: I am aware & using DU, but it is not as efficient if required to look into many directories
[11:28] <Wug> that surprises me
[11:28] <Wug> the unix philosophy of command line tools indicates that it would be more or less the best possible choice
[11:29] <k1l> hi-tower: for cli there is ncdu
[11:29] <techgrin> tiyteeze: how's this- http://www.warpconduit.net/2011/07/31/apt-repository-for-old-ubuntu-releases/
[11:29] <tiyteeze> techgrin: thanks
[11:29] <techgrin> basically you modify your /etc/sources.list file, then to apt-get update
[11:30] <philm88> anyone know anything about firefox h264 support? Seems to support it out of the box for desktop ubuntu, but I'm struggling to get it working in server ubuntu
[11:30] <k1l> tiyteeze: you should not run a EOL ubuntu release anyway.
[11:30] <tiyteeze> kll
[11:30] <tiyteeze> it is obn my nexus 7
[11:30] <tiyteeze> On my computer I run ubuntu 14.10
[11:31] <k1l> tiyteeze: even there you should not run an outdated ubuntu. talk to the -arm guys how to solve that issue to get a recent ubuntu
[11:31] <hi-tower> k1l: Oh ok, is ncdu included in standard install of velvet, or do I install it separately?
[11:31] <k1l> hi-tower: dont think its standard. but you can install it from the repos.
[11:32] <tiyteeze> k1l: it is impossible to have a recent ubuntu on nexus 7
[11:32] <techgrin> philm88: why are you running server edition on a machine you're using firefox on?
[11:32] <hi-tower> k1l: ok thanks, that would be an alternative
[11:33] <hi-tower> k1l: could you give me a hint of the rough size of a velvet desktop install with KDE5, excluding /usr and /home?
[11:33] <philm88> techgrin: This is going to be a minimal kiosk-type set up. I don't need 99% of the stuff the full desktop version installs
[11:33] <puffi> I installed gnome using the following apt-get install xorg gnome-core gnome-system-tools gnome-app-install on a  ubuntu 14.04.2 server. This is a VM image on an ESX5.5 host. gdm starts but after login it's a blank screen. could  anyone point me in the right direction?
[11:33] <k1l> hi-tower: for 15.04 questions better ask in #ubuntu+1
[11:34] <hi-tower> k1l: ok. how much would it be on 14.10?
[11:35] <k1l> hi-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 7gb
[11:35] <hi-tower> k1l: ok, i see. But most of the stuff is in /usr anyway
[11:36] <hi-tower> and my /usr is on a separate partition, not affected by the space problem
[11:36] <philm88> techgrin: I've installed gstreamer1.0-libav, which is apparently what newer versions (>30) require instead of gstreamer0.1-ffmpeg - but still no h264 support
[11:37] <techgrin> philm88: 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?
[11:38] <philm88> techgrin: Thanks. It just greys out the video block with "No video with supported format and MIME type found"
[11:39] <techgrin> philm88: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:39] <philm88> techgrin: 14.04
[11:39] <hi-tower> philm88: What does firefox show at Menu -> Tools -> addons -> plugins tab?
[11:39] <techgrin> philm88: 32 or 64 bit?
[11:40] <philm88> 64
[11:41] <techgrin> philm88: k im seeing if I can get it to work
[11:42] <philm88> thanks. Out of the box 14.04 desktop x64 does, so I presume I'm just missing a package or two
[11:44] <jermaine> Is there a way to convert an .so file to a new name?

[11:45] <hi-tower> ccat: mv oldname newname ?
[11:46] <ccat> hi-tower: no, no, meaning, is it valid?.  are they the same file type?
[11:47] <emash> hello everyone! i created usb stick in uefi mode
[11:47] <emash> aaand it's not loading
[11:48] <colbyf> anyone 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] <emash> i 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 instead
[11:49] <[n0mad]> jermaine and ccat, from what i've read online you definitely should't just rename shared libraries
[11:49] <[n0mad]> if you do you will have to recompile applications that use those libraries
[11:49] <marco_jiang> 有人吗
[11:49] <[n0mad]> doesn't sound like a fun day
[11:49] <marco_jiang> hello
[11:50] <marco_jiang> fuck
[11:50] <hi-tower> ccat: normally library-version.so.3 is a link to library-version.so.detailed-version
[11:50] <chotaz`w> opinions 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?
[11:51] <hi-tower> ccat: 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 name
[11:51] <hi-tower> ccat: my experience is that renaming libraries manually is asking for trouble
[11:52] <hi-tower> ccat: 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 system
[11:52] <hi-tower> ccat: or 2) ask the package maintainers for support
[11:52] <foofoobar> Hi. How can I update my certificates? When running things like wget on https pages I always get errors like this: http://hastebin.com/dubimujotu.vhdl
[11:52] <jermaine> The issue from chrome, I get a "Couldn't load libexif."
[11:53] <jermaine> which we assumes was libexif.so so I initially renamed it libexif.so and copied it into /opt/google/chrome
[11:54] <jermaine> but the libexif missing package error still persists
[11:55] <[n0mad]> have you tried sudo apt-get install libexif12 libexif-dev
[11:56] <jermaine> libexif12 I have, but let me give libexif-dev a try
[12:01] <jermaine> argh, no go
[12:01] <jermaine> google-chrome-stable still returns a missing libexif
[12:02] <killer1234> ciao
[12:02] <Ben64> jermaine: what are you trying to do
[12:02] <killer1234> !list
[12:02] <[n0mad]> maybe it's related to a plugin or extension
[12:02] <khawar> hi
[12:02] <jermaine> Hey Ben64, I'm simply trying to install chrome
[12:03] <Ben64> jermaine: add the ppa, install chrome
[12:03] <[n0mad]> oh, install, bah lol..going to get 2nd cup of coffee stat
[12:03] <jermaine> I've installed chrome from the official .deb
[12:03] <khawar> jaermaine try running apt-get upgrade first
[12:04] <jermaine> I already installed it, but when I try to run it, nothing shows up. Running google-chrome-stable in terminal leads to a "missing libexif"
[12:04] <jermaine> I have khawar :/
[12:04] <Ben64> jermaine: do you have the ppa on your system
[12:05] <jermaine> No, let me add that just to be sure
[12:05] <Ben64> maybe you installed the wrong deb
[12:06] <jermaine> I tried both the 32 and 64 bit
[12:06] <jermaine> from their official site, I will now try the PPA
[12:06] <Ben64> remove all the deb stuff first
[12:07] <jermaine> just did
[12:09] <sheer> are noob questions allowed here?
[12:09] <Ben64> all ubuntu support questions are allowed here
[12:10] <jermaine> :)
[12:10] <jermaine> Thanks Ben64 and others
[12:10] <jermaine> You guys the real MVPs
[12:10] <jermaine> No more random deb files, I'll make sure do it the PPA way
[12:10] <sheer> my computer has windows installed over the entire hard-drive. how would i go about installing ubuntu?
[12:11] <Ben64> sheer: the installer should give you an option to resize the windows install and free space for ubuntu
[12:11] <philinux> sheer;~ first this is to defrag and clean up windows and use windows to shrink it's partition to make room on the drive
[12:12] <sheer> oh, the installer will do that for me?? too good.
[12:12] <Ben64> sheer: in most cases, yes. there are sometimes when its not so easy
[12:13] <philinux> sheer;~ and backup any important stuff first
[12:13] <sheer> alright, thanks
[12:19] <dckap> hi
[12:19] <dckap> is anyone around
[12:19] <dckap> i need a help
[12:19] <TheNumb> !patience | dckap
[12:20] <TheNumb> !question | dckap
[12:20] <[n0mad]> if i want to increase the size of my ubuntu partition, say from 50GB to 100GB, is it basically correct to use gparted to shrink windows partition size, reboot to windows to make sure it's ok, then use gparted to increase ubuntu partition size?
[12:20] <dckap> i am not able to connect my irc client ip
[12:20] <puffi> I installed gnome using the following apt-get install xorg gnome-core gnome-system-tools gnome-app-install on a  ubuntu 14.04.2 server. This is a VM image on an ESX5.5 host. gdm starts but after login it's a blank screen. could  anyone point me in the right direction?
[12:20] <dckap> when i ping in terminal there is no reply
[12:23] <Eightynine> I have no sound in Lubuntu though I changed output from integrated sound card to HDMI. How to fix that?
[12:25] <techgrin> philm88: so how did you get a graphic environment from which to run firefox?
[12:25] <bazhang> Eightynine, check pcm in alsamixer, whats it set to
[12:25] <Eightynine> It dropped back to integrated sound card.
[12:25] <philm88> techgrin: I have an init script that starts matchbox-window-manager and starts firefox
[12:26] <bazhang> Eightynine, check pcm in alsa mixer whats it set to
[12:26] <philm88> techgrin: Essentially, I followed this tutorial, but used matchbox instead of openbox & used firefox instead of chrome: http://thepcspy.com/read/building-a-kiosk-computer-ubuntu-1404-chrome/
[12:27] <bazhang> Eightynine, have you checked it yet
[12:27] <Eightynine> HDMI 0, HDMI 0, playback 1
[12:28] <bazhang> Eightynine, did you check what I asked or not
[12:28] <Eightynine> Yes
[12:28] <bazhang> whats the setting then Eightynine
[12:28] <Eightynine> HDMI 0, HDMI 0, playback 1
[12:29] <bazhang> Eightynine, thats not a valid setting for pcm in alsamixer
[12:29] <Eightynine> And how to fix that?
[12:29] <bazhang> open a terminal Eightynine
[12:29] <Eightynine> And what next?
[12:29] <bazhang> Eightynine, type alsamixer
[12:30] <Eightynine> Done
[12:30] <bazhang> Eightynine, check pcm
[12:30] <Eightynine> Again it shows integrated sound card.
[12:30] <bazhang> Eightynine, check the setting for PCM
[12:31] <Eightynine> 00-00: ALC662 rev1 Analog : ALC662 rev1 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1│   │
[12:31] <Eightynine> │  │00-02: ALC662 rev1 Alt Analog : ALC662 rev1 Alt Analog : capture 1     │   │
[12:31] <Eightynine> │  │01-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1
[12:31] <bazhang> Eightynine, PCM goes from zero to 100
[12:31] <thom_> hola
[12:32] <Eightynine> What if i set it to 50-60 for example?
[12:35] <bazhang> Eightynine, try 80, install pavucontrol and padevchooser as well
[12:40] <grogoreo> hi
[12:42] <Eightynine> Why PulseAudio is not installed by default?
[12:43] <grogoreo> When I upgrade 14.10 from the stock ISO packages I can no longer login. .xsession-errors says xrdb: Resource temporarily unavailable xrdb: Can't open display ':0' No protocol specified. But logging in as guest works. Any ideas?

[13:40] <beakus> Hello, anyone out there?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> !ask | beakus
[13:42] <beakus> cfhowlett, Calm down, I want to make sure there is someone able to respond
[13:42] <cyberbrai> actually after using the luusb i am not able to see my device in terminal
[13:42] <cyberbrai> why any one plz
[13:42] <cfhowlett> beakus, 1.  I'm always  calm.  2.  there's always someone in this channel.
[13:42] <beakus> I did an install and my root is getting swallowed
[13:42] <beakus> I have 20G for root and am almost out of space
[13:43] <beakus> This has happened with other distros as well, wherein something is running amok and consumiong the root space
[13:43] <k1l> beakus: what gives you "df -h"?
[13:43] <beakus> I should have PLENTY of space
[13:43] <jpds_> beakus: Check that the log files aren't being filled up with stuff?
[13:43] <beakus> jpds_, How would I delete the log files?
[13:43] <jpds_> beakus: No.
[13:44] <jpds_> beakus: Check that they're not being filled up.
[13:44] <jpds_> beakus: Deleting them isn't going to fix the root problem.
[13:44] <k1l> beakus: and put a "ls -alh /var/log" into the pastebin too
[13:45] <beakus> Yeah, probably the log files are going fritzy
[13:45] <beakus> My solution is generally to switch distros
[13:45] <jpds_> beakus: My solution is generally to fix the problem.
[13:45] <beakus> I encountered this issue initially on Slackware, and now it seems to be happening in 'buntu
[13:45] <k1l> beakus: lets work this yout instead of blindly reinstalling
[13:46] <k1l> beakus: but you need to give requested informations to get help.
[13:47] <patrick2> hello, i have major problems with my server. in the past it runned ubuntu server 12.10 now 14.04 and upgrading to 14.10. the package manager is messed up, some people tried to help me but i think they messed up my kernel and deleted grub, not possible to install grub anymore so im afraid to reboot. apt-get only gives errors on everything i try. please help
[13:48] <jpds_> patrick2: Why are you upgrading your server to non-LTS releases?
[13:48] <jpds_> patrick2: And pastebin the errors.
[13:48] <patrick2> jpds i was having trouble with the current version of samba and hoped the new version would work better.
[13:49] <beakus> "Error when getting information for file '/var/log/mail.log': No such file or directory"
[13:49] <patrick2> http://pastebin.com/CWtqwJXJ
[13:49] <jpds_> patrick2: In that case, it's generally better to fire up a VM and try the newer version there, rather than hoping. :)
[13:49] <k1l> beakus: what command used?
[13:50] <k1l> !paste | beakus
[13:50] <jpds_> patrick2: Do: sudo apt-get install -f ?
[13:50] <patrick2> jpds your right.
[13:51] <patrick2> jpds sudo apt-get install -f gives error http://pastebin.com/inpwd4jy
[13:52] <UbuntuTryer> Hello : I don't understand my sudo NOPASSWD configuration.
[13:52] <beakus> Ahh, the log is 11gigs
[13:52] <jpds_> patrick2: Wow.
[13:52] <jpds_> patrick2: I suggest backup your data and reinstall.
[13:52] <UbuntuTryer> I was exepecting to see the configuration in /etc/sudoers but I don't see anything about NOPASSWD....
[13:52] <beakus> jpds, been there, done that
[13:52] <UbuntuTryer> Is there another file?
[13:53] <jpds_> beakus: What.
[13:53] <beakus> Whatr's a good distro to install?
[13:53] <patrick2> jpds_ complete reinstall? no possible fix?
[13:53] <Zerkalerka> anyone running Ubuntu on any MSI gaming laptops?
[13:53] <jpds_> patrick2: Anything is possible to fix, it's just doing to take you time.
[13:53] <k1l> beakus: dont you want to solve that issue?
[13:54] <beakus> I habvent the technical sophostication at this time
[13:54] <patrick2> jpds_ at least i would be happy if it can run for now, maybe in my holiday i cant reinstall
[13:54] <jpds_> patrick2: I would reinstall in this case.
[13:54] <k1l> beakus: could be an easy fix. but if you are not interessted: install ubuntu (since you ask in #ubuntu)
[13:55] <jpds_> patrick2: You should have a backup of your data anyway.
[13:55] <cem_> hi guys, which is better , Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 15.04 ?
[13:55] <jpds_> beakus: Also, you seem to consistly refuse to give us the data we need to help you.
[13:55] <k1l> cem_: 15.04 is still in development
[13:56] <patrick2> jpds_ 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] <cfhowlett> cem_, 14.04 is long term support.  15.04 will not be
[13:56] <cem_> hmm
[13:56] <cem_> so 14.04 is better
[13:56] <cem_> but i want more recent software
[13:56] <k1l> cem_: do you want to upgrade every  months?
[13:56] <jpds_> cem_: Do you NEED more recent softwarE?
[13:56] <jpds_> patrick2: Should be.
[13:57] <cfhowlett> cem_, bleeding edge is frequently bloody.  your choice.
[13:57] <cem_> i dont understand too much , what the difference about software is
[13:57] <beakus> jpds_, if you give me the command line commands, I can cut and pastebin for you
[13:57] <jpds_> beakus: 13:44:49 < k1l > beakus: and put a "ls -alh /var/log" into the pastebin too
[13:57] <cfhowlett> cem_, then you probably don't need the newest software  :)
[13:57] <jpds_> cem_: Then go with 14.04.
[13:57] <patrick2> jpds_ 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 it
[13:58] <k1l> cem_: start with 14.04 if you dont know the difference then.
[13:58] <cem_> okey then thank you
[13:59] <beakus> jpds_, http://pastebin.com/1HdcXxk6
[13:59] <cem_> i have one more question
[13:59] <cem_> 14.10 vs 14.04 ?
[13:59] <jpds_> cem_: Just stick with 14.04.
[14:00] <cfhowlett> cem_, again: 14.04 is LTS.  14.10 is not
[14:00] <jpds_> beakus: tail -f /var/log/kern.log /var/log/syslog
[14:00] <cem_> interesting
[14:01] <beakus> jpds_, http://pastebin.com/BgCKpBYq
[14:01] <k1l> beakus: what gives you "uname -a" and "lsb_release -d"?
[14:01] <cyberbrai> As you say i can done installing
[14:01] <jpds_> beakus: Ah, hardware problem.
[14:01] <cyberbrai> K1l now what can i do for installing adb
[14:02] <k1l> cyberbrai: i already answered that.
 cyberbrai: "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot"
[14:02] <cem_> sometimes , one program freezes and i cant find it with top | grep "name" , it doesnt appear however i know the name , why ?
[14:02] <cyberbrai> k1l it's done
[14:02] <cyberbrai> now
[14:03] <beakus> jpds_, Compatability issues?
[14:03] <jpds_> beakus: Now you have some error messages to Google around with.
[14:03] <k1l> cyberbrai: then its installed
[14:03] <beakus> jpds_, Or is my hardware borked?
[14:03] <cyberbrai> k1l  installtion is complete
[14:03] <jpds_> beakus: But it seems to be something on a USB port.
[14:04] <chotaz`w> cyberbrai, you'll have to clearly state your doubt if you want further help, you asked for install instructions and they were provided to you
[14:04] <chotaz`w> k1l, sorry for the hop-in.
[14:04] <beakus> I have a mouse and keyboard attached
[14:04] <cem_> sometimes , one program freezes and i cant find it with top | grep "name" , it doesnt appear however i know the name , why ?
[14:04] <chotaz`w> but...
[14:04] <cyberbrai> k1l now how can i install the qtadb
[14:05] <cyberbrai> chotaz`w i want to share the screen of my android phone to desktop
[14:05] <cfhowlett> cyberbrai, did you ask #android what software you should use?
[14:05] <cyberbrai> no
[14:05] <cfhowlett> ...
[14:06] <cyberbrai> plz help on it
[14:06] <cfhowlett> cyberbrai, #android has the experts.  ask them.
[14:06] <k1l> cyberbrai: i dont think that works with adb. please ask in #android what works with your mobile device.
[14:08] <cyberbrai> ok
[14:09] <lin> bash -c "command 'whatever' 'i want more of these' 'but they dont work'"
[14:09] <beakus> jpds_, anyway to mitigate the issue?
[14:09] <lin> how do i get that command to work?
[14:09] <lin> i want to have many layers of ''
[14:09] <lin> i tried \' \'
[14:09] <lin> but it does not work
[14:11] <Pici> lin: #bash would be the best place to ask this
[14:13] <Maimster> Morning all.
[14:14] <techgrin> philm88: no problem. I get bored sometimes and this is time well spent, I think. Helping out + learning stuff. No luck so far.
[14:15] <splitwire> techgrin - I learn a lot just be glancing around in this channel; its a great place to hang out
[14:18] <techgrin> splitwire: indeed. I added this channel to my auto connect list, love the ubuntu community
[14:18] <techgrin> philm88: installing a mystery package... crossing fingers
[14:20] <paws> hello, how can i change the default ftp for Linux-ftpd-0.17 ?
[14:20] <splitwire> paws are you wanting to change to a different version?
[14:21] <paws> splitwire: ugh sorry, i meant, how do i change the default Port
[14:21] <paws> lol
[14:21] <CptRageToaster> probably wrong place.  I'd like to know which /dev/pts screen opened up on... is there a clean way to ask screen for this information?
[14:22] <CptRageToaster> if someone knows where I should ask, that'd be great
[14:23] <Maimster> paws: Are you wanting to change the port to the connecting ftp site?
[14:23] <zykotick9> CptRageToaster: does "w" show you?
[14:23] <Maimster> paws: Maybe you mean changing to port on your own ftp server?
[14:24] <paws> yea i want to change the default port ftpd port for my own ftp server
[14:24] <Maimster> paws: Which ftp server are you running?
[14:24] <zykotick9> IMO ftp & ports are a nightmare...  ftpmustdie http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie
[14:25] <sailendra> hello there
[14:25] <sailendra> how do i increase the battery life in ubuntu
[14:25] <paws> Maimster: i dont know how to find out but when i connect to my ftp server it says "220 ubuntu FTP server (Version 6.4/OpenBSD/Linux-ftpd-0.17) ready."
[14:25] <splitwire> is that vsftpd?
[14:25] <Maimster> paws: Ah, okay you did say the default.
[14:25] <pmcgowan> bfiller, do you know whether we have verified mms support in various places in europe
[14:26] <pmcgowan> wrong channel
[14:26] <Maimster> splitwire: Probably one of the /etc configs.. checking.
[14:27] <splitwire> Maimster - I agree, I'm looking for paws right now
[14:27] <splitwire> I use that on CentOS but the file paths will be different
[14:27] <splitwire> paws - nano /etc/vsftpd.conf
[14:27] <Maimster> splitwire: Your right.
[14:27] <paws> i looked up "locate ftpd.conf" and nothing came back
[14:28] <paws> in /etc/ there is only ftpchroot  ftpusers
[14:28] <jarnos> Is it possible to choose in grub to boot a release using e.g.  -generic kernel or  -lowlatency kernel? Or do you have to make different installation for each selection?
[14:28] <splitwire> paws, what version of Ubuntu are you running
[14:29] <paws> splitwire: 14.04.2
[14:30] <splitwire> paws, hmmmm did you install vsftpd with the software center or with apt-get?
[14:31] <Maimster> paws: Your able to logon with your users right?
[14:32] <tir_> #irc.twitch.tv
[14:34] <Maimster> splitwire: In 14.04 LTS Do you have to install an ftp server to get the services?
[14:34] <splitwire> Maimster, I think so
[14:34] <TomAstro> hi folks,  just did a fresh install of 14.04,  I'm having an issue with { Software & Updates },  When I click on it; it does not run.  Do I reinstall again or is there a fix?  Thanks
[14:34] <Maimster> splitwire: I rarely ftp into my own box as I have an small in house server here. I'm pretty sure he will have to install vsftpd or something like that.
[14:35] <mcphail> jarnos: you can select the kernel from grub
[14:35] <splitwire> That is what I was thinking Maimster, I think vsftpd just isn't there yet
[14:35] <lasdam> how 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 system
[14:35] <splitwire> paws, can you install it with apt-get install vsftpd
[14:35] <mcphail> lasdam: edit /etc/default/grub
[14:36] <mcphail> lasdam: then update-grub again
[14:36] <Maimster> splitwire: That's why I was asking was he currently logging into his box via ftp now. I think the older versions used inet.d or something.
[14:36] <splitwire> Maimster, I know linux you can start up a quick and dirty web server and share stuff like that
[14:36] <zykotic10> CptRageToaster: fyi, there is a #screen channel
[14:36] <jarnos> mcphail, yes, but can you install many types of kernels in same system?
[14:36] <CptRageToaster> tyvm
[14:36] <splitwire> Maimster, I think you are spot on
[14:36] <mcphail> jarnos: of course :)
[14:36] <lasdam> mcphail: ah, thanks!
[14:36] <mcphail> lasdam: np :)
[14:37] <Maimster> splitwire: Pretty sure Ubuntu stopped that. Now you have to use vftpd as it's so easy and secure.
[14:37] <jarnos> mcphail, does it make sense. Can e.g. ubuntu studio boot by -generic kernel?
[14:37] <Maimster> splitwire: I only had like 1 cup of coffee, running slower now. :o)
[14:37] <mcphail> jarnos: if you want
[14:37] <splitwire> Maimster, really they stopped that, bummer. I just use my dedicated server for all that now so I don't keep up
[14:37] <mcphail> jarnos: you may get audio stutters, however
[14:38] <Maimster> splitwire: Exactly!
[14:38] <splitwire> Maimster, lol!  I'm on my second Monster I should be more on my game
[14:38] <jarnos> mcphail, oh, I was just developing a script to remove extra kernels, so I can not assume all installed kernels are of same type.
[14:38] <Maimster> splitwire: Funny is we do what we know. Masters or our own little worlds.
[14:39] <mcphail> jarnos: apt-fet autoremove will remove old kernels automatically
[14:39] <mcphail> apt-get*
[14:39] <jarnos> mcphail, no?
[14:39] <Maimster> splitwire: Have you tried plex on ubuntu? Runs really well with old hardware too.
[14:39] <splitwire> Maimster - very very true.  It is great to master things but bad because it is easy to become comfortable and stop learning new things
[14:40] <Maimster> splitwire: That's why I stop in here.
[14:40] <TomAstro> Anyone?  { Software & Updates } does not run in fresh install 14.04,  Thanks
[14:40] <mcphail> jarnos: I don't think you can assume any such thing. A user may have installed different kernels from the repositories, installed some from Mainline or rolled-their-own from kernel.org. All can coexist
[14:41] <mcphail> jarnos: my system is like that...
[14:41] <jarnos> mcphail, oh
[14:41] <splitwire> Maimster: I have not tried plex in awhile.  I used to love it and had my whole family setup so they could access my library but I got busy, stopped maintaining it and then decided I wanted to learn some CentOS stuff
[14:41] <Maimster> TomAstro: Your updates, do they run from the terminal?
[14:42] <TomAstro> When things are running I do, but from a fresh install I usually use the software updater.
[14:42] <Maimster> splitwire: A lot of companies prefer CentOS. RMS uses it for their pharmacy software.
[14:42] <TomAstro> I'm trying to get at the video drivers
[14:43] <Maimster> TomAstro: Video drivers? nVidia card by any chance?
[14:43] <splitwire> Maimster: I work in a place were I get to do some server stuff and web development so I thought it was good to get some better exposure.  That is the direction I want to go with my formal education so whats better than having it in your own house
[14:43] <OerHeks> TomAstro, what gives terminal when you run: software-properties-gtk #this is the name of softwarecenter
[14:43] <TomAstro> Maimster: This is the first time I have ever encountered this issue.  Yes on Nvidia.  It is running in nouveau at the moment.
[14:43] <splitwire> Maimster: I'm at work now, SSH into my server - that is how I'm able to be on here :)
[14:44] <Maimster> splitwire: Hee,hee.. good man. I just got turned on to sdf.org Free shell accounts. I use Xubuntu myself throught the house.
[14:45] <TomAstro> Let me pastebin the error that I get
[14:45] <splitwire> Maimster: I'll have to look into that.  I've got lubuntu on my main latop at home and Raspian on a few RPi
[14:46] <Maimster> splitwire: Actually sounds sweet. I used to run ubuntu, however so fat and bloated now.
[14:47] <Maimster> splitwire: Also Steam runs miles better on Xubuntu IMO.
[14:48] <splitwire> Maimster: really!  I need something to run better on my older laptop, Kerbal Space Program is getting a little slow on lubuntu
[14:49] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  Here is the Pastebin link.  http://pastebin.com/MMZPxZbQ
[14:49] <OerHeks> TomAstro, oke, try to run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:51] <TomAstro> OerHeks: I already been there, but I'll run that again just in case. brb
[14:52] <Maimster> splitwire: Try it, (Xubuntu). Only issue I found which I didn't like is ubuntu starting X with nolisten. booo
[14:52] <TomAstro> OerHeks: while that is running, I could not access the resources without manually updating Sources.list, so it will only get what is there from a fresh list.
[14:54] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  I haven't touched the Sources.list yet.  I usually tweak that later after things are running smoothly.
[14:55] <ment0s> Hi guys, So to get ubuntu touch apps on ubuntu desktop I just have to pull it from repository on desktop without modifications right ? Is there a list of those apps ?
[14:56] <TomAstro> there is a bug report filed at the time I tried to access the Software & Updates.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libx11/+bug/1444488
[14:56] <OerHeks> ment0s, there is one app available AFAIK, the standard browser named 'browser', maybe you want to join #ubuntu-touch too.
[14:56] <mcphail> ment0s: you need to install extra dependencies to run most apps. No idea if you can pull the apps direct from the repositories: I usually build them in the Ubuntu SDK
[14:57] <wedgeV> getting this when trying to install php5-fpm on 14.04: php5-fpm : Depends: php5-common (= 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.7) but 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.8 is to be installed
[14:58] <ment0s> mcphail: , OerHeks is there an open repo for those to install manually without SDK ?
[14:58] <wedgeV> (after running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y)
[14:58] <mcphail> ment0s: I can recommend the dekko email client: it makes a good desktop client and is much faster than thunderbird
[14:58] <OerHeks> TomAstro, ugh, sounds like a bad one, please confirm that bug, soit gets attention
[14:59] <OerHeks> TomAstro, you could also help by running this debug command and paste the output to your bugreport too > software-center --debug
[14:59] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  I'll post another pastebin again.  Looks as there are more errors in the process of the upgrade
[14:59] <HoloIRCUser> Hey i got one quest with my ubuntu
[15:00] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  brb  Going to post this upgrade errors in the bin
[15:00] <ioria> wedgeV, do you have PPA
[15:00] <ioria> ?
[15:00] <wedgeV> no, but i guess it’s the “proposed" repo causing the issue
[15:00] <OerHeks> wedgeV, did you run update/upgrade first, before doing any install ?
[15:00] <ment0s> mcphail: Its looking brilliant. I'm trying few options with docker to run selective gui apps like chrome and ubuntu touch apps on jessie. Ill give it a try (dekko) its looking brilliant.
[15:01] <mcphail> ment0s: nice
[15:04] <MoMohamed> salut
[15:04] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  Its a long pastebin, minus the apt-get update.  Just the Upgrade.  http://pastebin.com/8mytPhuQ
[15:06] <ment0s> mcphail: how do I get it wihtout those scopes. Ehh ubuntu, please run it on ftp or something accesible
[15:07] <OerHeks> TomAstro, what happens when you run line #787  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
[15:07] <techgrin> philm88: well my best efforts have come up empty. I tried installing vlc and ubuntu-restricted-extras. I'll try some more things later but for now I'm hittin the hay
[15:07] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  Let me check  brb
[15:07] <philm88> techgrin: Ok, thanks for all your help anyway
[15:08] <baum> why isn't /opt included in the $PATH variable by default?
[15:09] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  I still have Prepairing and Unpacking operation running yet.  As soon as that is finished I'll try that
[15:10] <techgrin> greets
[15:12] <zykotick9> baum: probably, because it wouldn't make much sense to...
[15:13] <TomAstro> OerHeks:  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.
[15:14] <OerHeks> TomAstro, is this an upgrade from 13.10 ??
[15:14] <baum> zykotick9: why not? i though it's the place of choice to install software like eclipse?
[15:14] <TomAstro> OerHeks: nope  clean drive fresh install
[15:14] <OerHeks> TomAstro, i noticed that 13,10 screen during install in that bugreport too
[15:14] <TomAstro> This looks like it is doing an upgrade
[15:15] <krambiorix> hi, in my /var/log/apache/error.log i get all weird stuff like : http://pastebin.com/2bF6F8nD    I think my joomla instances got hacked. How can i stop this asap?
[15:15] <zykotick9> baum: 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 ~/bin
[15:16] <TomAstro> OerHeks: 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 odd
[15:17] <TomAstro> ls -a......
[15:17] <baum> zykotick9: 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] <zykotick9> baum: when dealing with out of repo/unsupported software, i'm not sure there is a "standard" way...
[15:18] <TomAstro> OerHerks:  I'm going to the back room to my main system and re-download the 14.04 and reinstall it on the USB drive.
[15:18] <TomAstro> brb...
[15:18] <TomAstro> Yep  this is doing a full upgrade here.
[15:19] <krambiorix> anyone else?
[15:23] <baum> zykotick9: i see, thanks
[15:24] <baum> zykotick9: but you create the links in ~/bin - not /bin right? may i ask why?
[15:26] <zykotick9> baum: 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] <OerHeks> tubejockey, fix your connection please
[15:26] <zykotick9> baum: fyi, ~/bin is in your default PATH, if you create it, then log out and back in.
[15:27] <philm88> Hey all. Anybody know how to get h264 html5 video working in firefox on 14.04 server edition? Works out the box on desktop, not sure what packages i'm missing on server
[15:28] <genii> Hm, server with DE and FF
[15:28] <baum> zykotick9: ah well, i was just wondering since /opt/ is globally acessible, however ~/bin/ isn't.
[15:29] <baum> zykotick9: but i get the idea - thanks
[15:29] <zykotick9> baum: if you have multiple users, perhaps $PATH would be better?  i only have one, so for me, ~/bin is easy... but YMMV
[15:30] <Tekkkz> Hello
[15:30] <Tekkkz> im a growing up developer
[15:30] <Tekkkz> and i want to make a game, after i tryed sfml, which is only a lib, i want to use an engine for a 3d game
[15:31] <Tekkkz> ubuntu is based on unity, but unity game engine is windows only, so what is good for use at ubuntu for a 3d game?
[15:31] <baum> Tekkkz: unity != unity game engine
[15:31] <Tekkkz> hm ok sorry
[15:31] <nukleuz> exit
[15:31] <baum> zykotick9: i see, thanks :)
[15:31] <ioria> Tekkkz  take a look to  openGL
[15:32] <Tekkkz> but opengl is difficult, isnt it, i had a little look some years ago
[15:32] <ioria> yep... a bit
[15:32] <pgunnars> Can some1 explain to me whats going on here. There is a mismatch in the file count between different sources (archive manager and folder properties show 1647 items, ctrl+a inside the folder shows 1645 items.) I've located an item which doesn't show up in the folder when browsing however if you search for it then it shows up.
[15:32] <somsip> Tekkkz: this is offtopic here, so this is all the help you get from me http://alternativeto.net/software/unity/
[15:32] <OerHeks> Tekkkz, lots of game engines > http://askubuntu.com/questions/34200/what-2d-3d-engines-and-game-sdks-are-available
[15:33] <Pici> pgunnars: Are you including the .. and . entries?
[15:33] <pgunnars> Pici: thats what I assumed the problem was at first, but how would you explain the missing file when browsing showing up when searching?
[15:34] <Pici> pgunnars: how are you searching for it?
[15:34] <pgunnars> either ranking the items by name or size
[15:34] <pgunnars> not thro cmd
[15:34] <pgunnars> everything looks normal through command line
[15:35] <flipapy> is there a command for downloading allthe community backrounds from 2010 - present at over 1960x1080 res??
[15:35] <Pici> pgunnars: hmm.  I'm not sure then.  I'm actually not much of a gui person myself.
[15:35] <pgunnars> wouldnt be bothering with this bizarre situation if it hadnt seemingly affected a day long run
[15:35] <flipapy> basically, get a zip file and extract it to pictures?
[15:36] <livepit> i 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?
[15:37] <genii> livepit: Instead of manually adding stuff to /etc/init.d use the update-rc.d command instead
[15:37] <[n0mad]> flipapy, http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/download-all-ubuntu-community.html
[15:38] <pgunnars> Pici: and it's not . and .. that are affecting it, this isnt the case with other folders
[15:38] <livepit> genii: i think that's what i did, didn't i?
[15:38] <pgunnars> folder properties and ctrl+a inside folder show the same amount
[15:39] <flipapy> thanks n0fuq
[15:39] <flipapy> sorry n0fuq
[15:39] <flipapy> n0mad left, thanks n0mad
[15:39] <[n0mad]> sure no problem
[15:40] <livepit> genii: the only thing i did in /etc/init.d was place my startup script. i added it via update-rd.d
[15:40] <genii> livepit: The update-rc.d will automatically add any entries into /etc/init.d that are needed. You should not add manually there.
[15:40] <flipapy> oh hey i diddnt see th [n0mad] hey, will taht install all the wallpapers to my desktop backrounds or to my pictures folder ?
[15:41] <[n0mad]> that will put them to desktop backgrounds i'm pretty sure
[15:41] <livepit> genii: hmm, ok let me try a different way
[15:41] <livepit> thanks
[15:41] <flipapy> cool [n0mad] but do you know how i can send them directly to either downloads folder or pictures folder?
[15:42] <[n0mad]> flipapy, there's a link at the end of the article to a gz file
[15:42] <[n0mad]> that should let you do that
[15:42] <flipapy> cool, ill check thanks again
[15:43] <flipapy> right i got it, for non ubuntu users, i'll do both, trying soething out here.
[15:47] <Synchron> Nokia N900 is here
[15:51] <platsbruts> Hello
[15:54] <Synchron> ...
[15:55] <ninjai> So I have some open source web software running and I changed my IP to static after setting it up.  Every time I click the login button, it tries to forward me to the incorrect, old, DHCP address.  Is this a problem with the software or ubuntu config?
[15:56] <flipapy> im having trouble making a linux usb live drive. brasero doesnt sem to be making the drive, its only offering a cd option
[15:57] <OerHeks> ninjai, sounds like an setup problem, not an ubuntu bug or something, rerun the setup, or look in the manual of that"some open source websoftware" howto change the network config
[15:57] <SchrodingersScat> flipapy: try unetbootin or dd

[16:01] <Synchron> XUbuntu 14.04 on Nokia N900 here
[16:03] <ninjai> when I do: cat * | grep 192* it highlights 19.  Everything is 19.  No 192.  Why is this?
[16:03] <isifreek> ninjai: * means "0 or more"
[16:03] <Pici> Synchron: okay?
[16:03] <isifreek> ninjai: you may want + whihc means "one or more"
[16:03] <ninjai> ahhh
[16:04] <ki7mt> emash, One way, but not using mkusb ; xzcat my-cool-img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdx bs=64k   .. where /dev/sdx is the USB device.
[16:04] <isifreek> ninjai: that would match 192 and 19222
[16:04] <ninjai> actually
[16:04] <ninjai> no that didn't do what I expected
[16:04] <ninjai> I was searching for 192
[16:04] <ninjai> it showed me 19
[16:04] <Synchron> Pici: Everything s ok
[16:04] <alvaro> alguien habla español
[16:04] <alvaro> ???
[16:04] <Pici> !es | alvaro

[16:08] <Synchron> How to install Hydra in Wheezy?
[16:09] <emash> actually mkusb just crashed my machine i will try xzcat
[16:10] <Pici> Synchron: Try asking #debian, not #ubuntu
[16:10] <Synchron> Thanks
[16:11] <ki7mt> Synchron, I don't think Hydra is in Wheezy,  you'd have to enable Jessie repos, but That is OT here, you should ask in OFTC #debian
[16:14] <Synchron> Is there anyone know how to make a key on keyboard work as a mouse right button?
[16:14] <EriC^> Synchron: xmodmap
[16:14] <Synchron> How to set it?
[16:15] <EriC^> Synchron: which key
[16:15] <Synchron> keycode 152
[16:17] <Synchron> Keycode 152 is a lockscreen key on Nokia N900
[16:19] <anonymous_> Anonymous
[16:19] <EriC^> Synchron: seems the button is called button 1xevxmodmap -e "keycode 152="
[16:20] <EriC^> nevermind
[16:20] <EriC^> Synchron: it seems the button is called button 3, but i dont think it would work
[16:20] <EriC^> xmodmap -e "keycode 152=button 3"
[16:20] <EriC^> you can try that but i dont think so
[16:22] <Synchron> ubuntu@Ubuntu-N900:~$ xmodmap -e "keycode 152=button 3"
[16:22] <Synchron> xmodmap:  commandline:1:  bad keysym name 'button' in keysym list

[16:27] <Sramelyor3301> Hey 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 14/10
[16:27] <Sramelyor3301> *14.10
[16:28] <Sramelyor3301> Do I have to use gparted. If so how?
[16:29] <SchrodingersScat> Sramelyor3301: 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 liveusb
[16:29] <Sramelyor3301> I am sorry I didn't get u. How do I go about doing that.
[16:29] <Steven77> normally you go visa versa
[16:30] <Sramelyor3301> Yes. But now I am stuck
[16:30] <Steven77> first windows then linux
[16:30] <Earlo> Steven77, Vice versa
[16:30] <Steven77> or follow the lead form SchrodingersScat
[16:31] <Sramelyor3301> I 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 booting
[16:31] <Steven77> yes Earlo pardon my french ;)
[16:32] <EriC^> Sramelyor3301: try making an .iso of the installation media
[16:32] <Sramelyor3301> I did
[16:32] <Sramelyor3301> I tried
[16:32] <Sramelyor3301> but virtualbox isn't accepting that either
[16:32] <EriC^> what did you do?
[16:32] <Earlo> Steven77, Sorry for grammar nazi, but visa versa sends pings me, since i have set my client to notify if someone says visa
[16:32] <EriC^> sudo dd if=/dev/sdX or sdxY ?
[16:33] <Sramelyor3301> idk 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 message
[16:34] <Steven77> ok si Sramelyor3301 what exactly i you trying to pull ?
[16:34] <Steven77> you have a system with ubuntu on it ?
[16:34] <jamie_> teknotus: was it you that was helping me last night with the messed up upgrade
[16:35] <Sramelyor3301> yes. I have ubuntu utopic unicorn
[16:35] <Steven77> ok , so download gparted to make some space for windows
[16:35] <Sramelyor3301> I want to install windows.
[16:35] <Sramelyor3301> I have gparted
[16:35] <Sramelyor3301> But I have no clue as to how to use it
[16:35] <Steven77> then create space ( like 60GB ) for windows
[16:35] <Sramelyor3301> Last time I used it it caused grub to fail
[16:36] <Sramelyor3301> Steven77 can u instead help me in making a virtual machine
[16:36] <Sramelyor3301> I would like that rather than dual booting
[16:36] <Steven77> download and install virtualbox , download or copy a windows iso to ubuntu
[16:37] <Sramelyor3301> I don't have a copy of windows 8
[16:37] <Steven77> create a windows virtual machine with that iso
[16:37] <Sramelyor3301> i have windows 8 installation media on usb
[16:37] <Steven77> what do you have then ? a dvd ?
[16:37] <TandyUK> hey guys, im trying to create a user with a custom homedir, /data/Backups/Topclass.. I have created the folder, addd the user, chown'd the folder, but when the user ssh's in, im getting "Could not chdir to home directory /data/Backups/Topclass: Permission denied"
[16:37] <Steven77> but not an iso ?
[16:37] <Sramelyor3301> no
[16:37] <Sramelyor3301> no iso
[16:37] <Sramelyor3301> :(
[16:37] <TandyUK> Im guessing the problem is with the permissions on the parent path
[16:37] <hidden> anyone know how i could sync my computers time with a remote web servers time? like an apache servers
[16:38] <Steven77> where did you get the usb ?
[16:38] <ioria> Sramelyor3301, i'm sure you can find some win iso somewhere  ... :-P
[16:39] <Sramelyor3301> I am searching problem is I can't find windows 8 iso. I can find only winodws 8.1 iso
[16:39] <Sramelyor3301> I have the key only for windows 8 not 8.1
[16:39] <Steven77> then take 8.1
[16:39] <Steven77> it's a virtual machine ,
[16:39] <Steven77> hack the damn thing it's sandboxed
[16:39] <Sramelyor3301> I can't. 8.1 requires key but won't accept the 8 key
[16:39] <TandyUK> parent permissons: /data 777 james:users, /data/Backups 770 guests:users, /data/Backups/Topclass 775 karl:karl
[16:40] <Sramelyor3301> I am a newbie bro. Sadly I have no clue as to how I can ahck
[16:40] <Steven77> the installer asks a key during installation <?
[16:40] <Sramelyor3301> yup
[16:40] <Steven77> get another iso :)
[16:40] <Steven77> why the heck do you wan't windows anyway ?
[16:40] <ioria> Sramelyor3301, if I may ... why  win 8 ? 7 is quite good
[16:40] <EriC^> Sramelyor3301: is it a windows cd
[16:40] <EriC^> ?
[16:40] <Steven77> nope EriC^
[16:41] <EriC^> usb?
[16:41] <Steven77> it's a usb but not with an iso
[16:41] <Steven77> dd stuff
[16:41] <Sramelyor3301> lol. Okay btw Steven77 the only reason I want windows so badly is because I am not able to edit my pdf files. I can't edit or higlight any of the pdf files and pdf is really and important part when it comes to my college work. It keeps telling that I can't highlight but with windows I can use the latest acrobat and higlight and edit pdf files easily
[16:42] <jwash> hi everyone, i have a screen problem where after 10 min it goes black. is there a way to permanently fix it? I'm using XFCE.
[16:43] <Steven77> install acroread then
[16:43] <Sramelyor3301> Sounds like a very stupid reason to shift but I don't know of any way for me to perform half of the edits on ubuntu with such old version of adobe acrobat
[16:43] <Sramelyor3301> I did. Adobe reader 9. No possible way to perform any actions
[16:43] <Steven77> there should be a ppa with the new version
[16:44] <Sramelyor3301> I don't seem to be able to find one
[16:44] <Sramelyor3301> I searched and found nothing. They came out with some Acrobat DC and it doesn't support linux at all
[16:45] <Sramelyor3301> Is there any other way to donwload and install the latest version of acrobat??
[16:45] <ioria> Sramelyor3301, wine maybe
[16:45] <OerHeks> libreoffice can edit pdf
[16:45] <Steven77> yes there is , learn linux , install arch and proceed :)
[16:46] <Sramelyor3301> Can it?
[16:46] <Sramelyor3301> oh
[16:46] <OerHeks> open with ..
[16:46] <Sramelyor3301> I uninstalled libreofice and installed open office instead
[16:46] <Steven77> sure install Antergos and install acrobat reader 11
[16:46] <Sramelyor3301> antergos??
[16:46] <Steven77> google it
[16:47] <OerHeks> grinn don't try openoffice
[16:47] <Sramelyor3301> why is that?
[16:47] <Steven77> install that virtual , and go from there
[16:48] <Steven77> problem solved , no need for windows
[16:49] <Sramelyor3301> i will try that tnx :) Btw 0erHeks the only reason I shifted to openoffice is because I wasn't able to get libre office to check my spellings properly
[16:56] <Sramelyor3301> sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner" <- How do I go about removing that repository??
[16:56] <Steven77> software center ?
[16:56] <OerHeks> !ppapurge
[16:57] <Steven77> or just go to software center and mark/unmark ppa's
[16:57] <OerHeks> are you on precise?
[16:57] <Sramelyor3301> I know about pps purge but what do I type in the ppa:<repository-name>/subdirectory??
[16:57] <Sramelyor3301> no utopic
[16:58] <flipapy> is there a command for an oficially supported theme like radiance and ambiance that's not as unattractive as high contrast? im having touble seeing the little scroll bars for my apps and webpages
[16:58] <OerHeks> oh then unmark it and delete that entry
[16:58] <Sramelyor3301> unmark where?
[16:58] <Sramelyor3301> software centre?
[16:58] <OerHeks> softwarecenter> edit > sources
[16:58] <OerHeks> or type sources in the dash
[16:59] <OerHeks> as that repo couldn't give any install candidates, no harm is done. so ppa-purge would do nothing more than sources menu could do.

[17:00] <Amy_Lu_Who> i need to install java and i tried the turorial but had trouble.  please help.
[17:01] <OerHeks> Amy_Lu_Who, what tutorial? our wiki is pretty simple
[17:01] <OerHeks> !java
[17:01] <ChunkzZ> y'know the "startup disk creator in Ubuntu 14.10 - is that for Linux OS's only?
[17:01] <Amy_Lu_Who> the one from Java
[17:01] <Amy_Lu_Who> where is ours?
[17:02] <OerHeks> ChunkzZ, yes
[17:02] <Sramelyor3301> 0erHeks -> deb http://archive.canonical.com/ precise partner I hwav no clue what cource has this added. ow do I know specificlaly which one of the sources belongs to this line?
[17:02] <ChunkzZ> OerHeks, okay, linux mint which is based off ubuntu has a "usb image writer" but I can't find it? is special to mint or?
[17:02] <Amy_Lu_Who> OerHeks, where is "our" tutorial for Java?
[17:03] <OerHeks> Amy_Lu_Who, see the message of ubottu
[17:03] <OerHeks> ChunkzZ, maybe mint hasn't got it installed standard, and this channel doesn't support mint.
[17:03] <OerHeks> they have their own issues.
[17:07] <ChunkzZ> OerHeks, sorted it, thanks.
[17:22] <New_User_ubuntu> Dear All
[17:22] <New_User_ubuntu> the OS is constantly rebooting
[17:22] <New_User_ubuntu> I am not even able to see the logs
[17:22] <New_User_ubuntu> any idea what issue it could be
[17:23] <New_User_ubuntu> its a fresh installation with cloudera software on it
[17:23] <skinux> I don't suppose it's possible to add feature to Terminal to post a portion of current buffer to a paste site??
[17:27] <simplisity> Hi.. is kernel.ubuntu.com having a planned outage? If so, are there any mirrors? Couldn't seem to find them on google
[17:29] <Joel> Does anyone have this working on 14.04? Config changes don't seem to take affect: http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/configurable-notification-bubbles-for.html
[17:30] <Pici> simplisity: hmm.. let me see if I can poke someone about it
[17:31] <simplisity> Pici, ok thank you
[17:36] <Joel> dpkg -l isn't printing me a full version, thoughts?
[17:37] <ZeloZelos> how do i turn off the fading animations and other extra effects
[17:40] <Sbur> Am I the only one having problems with 3.16.0-34?
[17:41] <ZeloZelos> can i still install xfce and use it instead of unity?
[17:43] <TheNumb> ZeloZelos: of course you can.
[17:44] <ZeloZelos> sudo apt-get install xfce?
[17:44] <simplisity> ZeloZelos, not sure if you tried xubuntu, but a lot of people like it
[17:44] <TheNumb> ZeloZelos: if you install xubuntu-desktop you'll get the set of packages :)
[17:44] <OerHeks> !info xubuntu-desktop
[17:44] <Guest34416> Hi, 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] <TheNumb> ZeloZelos: unless you want to install xfce only.
[17:45] <ZeloZelos> it took soo long to finally get ubuntu installed, i just want to switch the desktop to xfce
[17:45] <TheNumb> Guest34416: the old packages are replaced by the new ones.
[17:45] <TheNumb> Guest34416: no need to clean anything :)
[17:46] <emash> is there an easy way to make mbr partitioned usb pendrive ubuntu bootable in efi?
[17:46] <Guest34416> well, 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] <k1l> Guest34416: no need for bleachbit
[17:47] <k1l> Guest34416: you can use "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean"
[17:47] <k1l> Guest34416: and for the future: if you want support use a distro that offers support.
[17:48] <Guest34416> ok thanks ya
[17:49] <ZeloZelos> i 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?
[17:53] <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?
[17:55] <k1l> karen_: 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 named
[17:55] <karen_> ya thank you! I did that, and it didn't seem to erase anything, so I guess I'm good.
[17:55] <Sbur> Hello.  I just updated to kernel 3.16.0-34 and am having resolution problems.  The only resolution it gives me is 640x480, although I have a 22 inch screen and can do even 1920x1024

[18:00] <amahoola> hello
[18:00] <ZeloZelos> what's he got to do with it ;)
[18:01] <amahoola> does somebody know how scopecreator works?
[18:03] <ZeloZelos> found this amahoola http://chrismwayne.com/?p=277
[18:07] <amahoola> ZeloZelos, yeah i used that tutorial and something didn; t seem to work. but i think it has to do with a missing kit
[18:08] <guest9> error n375
[18:14] <stacks88> just 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 am
[18:14] <stacks88> now able to ssh -l root IP and log in without a password.. How is this possible if its commented out in the sshd_config ?
[18:16] <stacks88> I 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 it
[18:16] <stacks88> that must be it
[18:17] <stacks88> so 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 having
[18:18] <stacks88> cause i still enjoy being root or, not having to constantly put sudo before everything
[18:19] <Ali_> Hi
[18:19] <treelzebub> stacks88: specifying a root password breaks a fundamental convention of all unix-like platforms. probe shouldn't ;)
[18:19] <daftykins> stacks88: i would not permit root login at all, indeed, then use the standard user to connect in then yes 'sudo -i' as you say
[18:19] <ifohancroft> Hello 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? I have enabled the Canonical repo. Also why does it seem like every game that is purchasable is for at most Ubuntu 14.04?
[18:19] <Ali_> I have a question about probabilistic language can I ask it here?
[18:19] <stacks88> thank you guys
[18:20] <treelzebub> excellent question, though!
[18:20] <ifohancroft> Are there any changes made about that in 14.10? Like no more purchasable stuff or something
[18:20] <Maimster> stacks88: Very dangerous way to use UNIX based systems.
[18:20] <daftykins> Ali_: doesn't sound like Ubuntu support to me
[18:20] <stacks88> Maimster what is dangerous? to login as a user, sudo -i and not have a root password ?
[18:20] <Maimster> stacks88: Using root via ssh without the password.
[18:21] <Maimster> stacks88: If the box doesn't have Internet access then might be okay. Just be careful.
[18:21] <stacks88> oh i see what ur talking about, the earlier post, where i mentioned ssh'ing in as root
[18:21] <stacks88> yea ill just login as a user only
[18:21] <Maimster> stacks88: Yeah.
[18:21] <ssboy> Hi
[18:21] <stacks88> ok cool thx
[18:21] <Roky> Afternoon all.
[18:22] <ssboy> Are there somebody here
[18:22] <EugeneBandit> Hello! http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ seems to be down from my computer. Is it normal ?
[18:22] <ssboy> ??
[18:22] <Maimster> stacks88: Gaining root access should be a pain in the assets.
[18:22] <Pici> EugeneBandit: Yes, canonical is working on it.
[18:22] <Maimster> stacks88: :o)
[18:23] <EugeneBandit> Pici, okay thanks! do you know somewhere else i could find the .deb?
[18:23] <ifohancroft> Let me rephrase my question: Why is nothing I find in the Ubuntu apps center available for Ubuntu 14.10?
[18:24] <Pici> EugeneBandit: I'm unaware of a mirror, sorry.
[18:24] <ifohancroft> In Available Versions on the site, at most it says 14.04
[18:24] <EugeneBandit> Pici, thanks anyway :)
[18:28] <ifohancroft> Is there a netsplit going on or something?
[18:32] <newhoa> Hey, I am wanting to format a drive to exFAT. I have exfat-fuse and exfat-utils both installed (I even upgraded them to the vivid packages), but it won't give me the exFAT option in gnome-disks (it's not an option) or gparted (it's greyed out).
[18:32] <newhoa> Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'd really appreciate some ideas!
[18:33] <DJones> newhoa: It might be and good idea to ask that question in #ubunt+1 vivid  isn't supported here until official release, so the people in that channel who've been testing it will probably be better to suggest solutions
[18:34] <DJones> #ubuntu+1
[18:34] <ifohancroft> Guys why does the software center in 14.10 does not show buyable applications? There are like only two and when I go to the ubuntu apps directory there is no 14.10 as available version?
[18:36] <newhoa> Ok, I'm using Utopic, I just tried those two vivid packages for testing, but the problem is also with the Utopic packages on a Utopic system.
[18:39] <OerHeks> newhoa, You have to create a GPT partition table AFAIK

[18:48] <newhoa> I did manage to use msdos, create a fat32 partition using gparted, then use sudo mkfs.exfat /dev/sdXX

[18:48] <mekhami> I don't want to dual boot ubuntu on os x or anything, i just want to create the boot loader on my usb drive

[18:51] <newhoa> If anyone else could check real quick and see if the option to format exFAT is greyed out in gparted and missing in gnome-disks, I would really appreciate it. I'd like to file a bug report but it would be nice to see if other people have the same problem.

[18:59] <BluesKaj> and what OS on your desktop at home, mekhami?
[18:59] <ZeloZelos> not to mention 10dvd disks/coasters while trying to figure out why i couldnt see anything
[18:59] <mekhami> BluesKaj effectively nothing
[19:00] <home> ubuntu 14.10 64-bit
[19:01] <BluesKaj> mekhami, then why not install ubuntu on the usb stick and use it to boot your home pc , you can always install grub from the live-usb
[19:01] <DJones> mekhami: Please see my original reply
[19:01] <DJones> 19:54 <    DJones> mekhami: Hope this helps
[19:01] <DJones> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Creating_a_bootable_Ubuntu_USB_flash_drive_from_Mac_OSX
[19:01] <mekhami> BluesKaj that's exactly what i'm trying to do
[19:01] <OerHeks> home, does this hint not work?? <TheNumb> home: apt-get build-dep geany should be enough...
[19:02] <mekhami> DJones it's helping so far :)
[19:02] <home> unfortunately no
[19:02] <ZeloZelos> how does it do that, show that it is connected to the router, but no internet at all??? this one is connected, and fully operates with no issues on the same router via the same type of connection
[19:02] <bekks> Can you define "no internet at all"? How do you try?
[19:03] <ZeloZelos> apt-get update, update manager, firefox umm..
[19:04] <ZeloZelos> none will connect, even tried the select best server thing for updates n stuff..it would not even find one
[19:04] <ZeloZelos> it looks like a dns issue, but on the machine i am using for help i have no issues whatsoever
[19:05] <Wug> I asked this question a while ago and I'm hoping for second opinions
[19:05] <ZeloZelos> the only guess i have is that it is an unsecured wireless network? would that be the fault?
[19:05] <Wug> it has a number of sub-questions that I will ask as I get to them
[19:05] <Wug> What I'm trying to do is run a remote X server and a local X server that display the same content. is this possible
[19:05] <OerHeks> home, seems to come from docutils http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/rst2html.1.html
[19:06] <Wug> I'm not a huge fan of VNC, in my experience it only performs acceptably over a lan
[19:07] <OerHeks> !find python-docutils
[19:07] <ZeloZelos> the wireless reciever is a netgear wg111v2 if that helps at all
[19:07] <Wug> I have looked at xdmx, but it does not seem obviously useful in this regar
[19:07] <Wug> sub-question: how do I list all of the displays on a machine?
[19:08] <Wug> when I ssh into one machine with X forwarding, it usually gives me a display :10 or something like that
[19:08] <Wug> but I'm unable to actually find such a display listed anywhere
[19:08] <home> OerHeks: Thanks a lot
[19:08] <bekks> Wug: Displaying an application on another xserver is different from your original question.
[19:09] <Guest7123> :c
[19:09] <Wug> bekks: I know
[19:09] <ZeloZelos> Wug, did you google? http://superuser.com/questions/758463/getting-1920x1080-resolution-or-169-aspect-ratio-on-ubuntu-or-linux-mint
[19:09] <simplisity> looks like kernel.ubuntu.com is still down. Anyone have any ideas when that might be back up?
[19:09] <bekks> Wug: So why are you trying unrelated things then? :)
[19:09] <Wug> ZeloZelos: if my googling is supposed to lead me to that article, with a title completely not related at all to my question, than it's not surprising I missed it
[19:10] <ZeloZelos> hehe, you have an issue with aspect ratio/display dpi right?
[19:10] <OerHeks> simplisity, thanks, we already noticed that.
[19:10] <liveusb> Hi all, i am having trouble trying to add a new entry to grub (terminal access). the OS is a modification of ubuntu which loads a screen with 3 options, 2 of those are a game that starts right away and the 3rd is "quit". I have to install fraps on the computer so the game can be recorded (a child's game for a friend's project). The issue is that even in recovery mode accessing a terminal as root, it only gives me those 3 options, and
[19:10] <liveusb> no access to the terminal to run apt-get install. Here is bootinfoscript http://pastebin.com/c3sQP14K
[19:10] <Wug> ...no?
[19:10] <Pici> simplisity: not sure. I spoke with a Canonical sysadmin and they are at least aware of the problem.
[19:10] <Wug> maybe you mixed my question up with someone elses
[19:10] <ZeloZelos> i probably did ;)
[19:10] <Wug> bekks: what, I'm only allowed to ask one question?
[19:10] <simplisity> Pici, ok thanks
[19:11] <Wug> let me clarify my use case
[19:11] <simplisity> OerHeks, ok
[19:11] <Wug> I have a program running on a machine X, somehow
[19:11] <simplisity> OerHeks, Pici : are there any mirrors?
[19:11] <bekks> Wug: No one said that.
[19:11] <Wug> I am locally using the gui session on machine X, and am also connected via SSH + x forwarding to machine X via machine Y
[19:12] <Wug> locally, I am using display :0, and remotely, I'm using :10
[19:12] <Wug> I want to somehow perform some magic that allows me to make one display clone the other
[19:12] <Wug> so I see the program on both.
[19:13] <Wug> addendum: vnc is not ok.
[19:13] <bekks> Wug: Use nxclient/nxserver, in a version 4.x
[19:14] <Wug> nomachine appears to do the same thing vnc does
[19:14] <Wug> perhaps it's slightly better at it
[19:14] <liveusb> i can see the grub but it always takes me to those 3 options no matter what
[19:14] <liveusb> even excecuting chroot from liveusb
[19:16] <mchelen1> is there any way to refresh the list of available wifi networks?
[19:17] <shadytv> mchelen1: restart your networking service is the best way
[19:17] <Wug> why is it that from the remote session I can open programs on the local display but not the other way around
[19:18] <mchelen1> shadytv: 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 example
[19:19] <bekks> Wug: Because the redirection works one way only.
[19:20] <OerHeks> mchelen1, turning on a wifirouter can take up to a minute to be active. maybe more.
[19:21] <CyberGabber> mchelen1: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan      or sudo iwlist eth2 scan     (my wifi card is eth2)
[19:21] <shadytv> mchelen1: sudo iwlist <your wireless interface> scan (Sorry I can't test this i'm on a wired windows machine ATM :( )
[19:21] <mchelen1> OerHeks: i know the network is there because i can see it from other devices
[19:22] <mchelen1> CyberGabber shadytv cool thanks
[19:26] <gms> came across a weird issue today - LTS 14.04 had rwxr-x--- on /media/joe-user - instead of the usual rwxr-xr-x - which obviously broke auto-mount-display-filemanager feature
[19:27] <gms> user of the system does not even know how to change permissions
[19:27] <MonkehParade> uhm, hi
[19:27] <gms> thus I am wondering how this could happen
[19:28] <mike802> http://mike802.blogspot.com/2013/08/educational-materials.html
[19:29] <shadytv> gms: anyway to reporduce the problem? what was the last thing you were doing? ect..
[19:29] <shadytv> MonkehParade: hi :)
[19:29] <MonkehParade> I have a question? :/
[19:30] <shadytv> MonkehParade: Fire away! let's see if we can help
[19:31] <gms> shadytv, not really - joe user certainly used the system as always, i.e. accepting all Ubuntu update messages, surfing via firefox, reading mails via thunderbird, occasionally inserting a usb stick etc.
[19:32] <MonkehParade> I'm trying to create a snapshot of my root so I can restore it after a clean install (in case I screw up while tinkering and learning). What do you propose I do?
[19:32] <OerHeks> !cloning
[19:33] <shadytv> MonkehParade: !cloning
[19:34] <in_deep_thought> I want to install the latest cmake on ubuntu 12. I run sudo apt-get update, apt-get install cmake, and it tells me its already the latest
[19:34] <bekks> in_deep_thought: On whoch Ubuntu 12?
[19:34] <in_deep_thought> but I think this is because its the latest for ubuntu 12.
[19:34] <in_deep_thought> 12.04
[19:34] <CyberGabber> or use 'generate package download script' from within Synaptic Package Manager...
[19:34] <bekks> !info cmake precise
[19:35] <in_deep_thought> how can I get the latest version - for trusty tahr?
[19:35] <in_deep_thought> and would it be compatible with ubuntu 12?
[19:35] <liveusb> Hi all, i am having trouble trying to add a new entry to grub (terminal access). the OS is a modification of ubuntu which loads a screen with 3 options, 2 of those are a game that starts right away and the 3rd is "quit". I have to install fraps on the computer so the game can be recorded (a child's game for a friend's project). The issue is that even in recovery mode accessing a terminal as root, it only gives me those 3 options, and
[19:35] <ifohancroft> Guys why does the software center in 14.10 does not show buyable applications? There are like only two and when I go to the ubuntu apps directory there is no 14.10 as available version?
[19:35] <bekks> in_deep_thought: you cannot mix packages from different releases.
[19:35] <OerHeks> MonkehParade, you could dd the partition with the live-iso https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging
[19:36] <in_deep_thought> bekks: so I can’t install the latest cmake on 12?
[19:36] <bekks> in_deep_thought: you cannot install the cmake version for trusty on your precise.
[19:36] <MonkehParade> I came across links that told me to tar the root directory, do you think I should do that?
[19:36] <bekks> in_deep_thought: if you want the trusty version, upgrade to trusty first.
[19:36] <OerHeks> MonkehParade, that would be an option
[19:38] <dzan> Hi, I have some #include statements in my .Xdefaults, these don't get processed when X starts, only after later on manually doing 'xrdb .Xdefaults'; does anyone know how to fix this?
[19:38] <ifohancroft> dzan: Have you tried removing the #?
[19:38] <dzan> I'm guessing whereever Xdefaults is loaded it's done with -nocp leaving out preprocessor processing..
[19:38] <MonkehParade> OerHeks, but if it starts backing up the files in /media or /dev ? :/
[19:39] <dzan> ifohancroft: comments in .Xdefaults are with a bang :p
[19:39] <ifohancroft> ah ok, srry didn't knew that
[19:39] <dzan> no problem :-)
[19:41] <OerHeks> MonkehParade, never had trouble with duplicating partitions, /media/ etc is not active in that image, only on your live system
[19:42] <OerHeks> else take a look at clonezilla
[19:44] <MonkehParade> I think I'll go with clone-zilla.
[19:45] <Oggy> Hello
[19:46] <Oggy> Do i have to put linux on a disc before installing?
[19:46] <Oggy> Or can i directly run the downloaded file?
[19:47] <OerHeks> Oggy, on dvd or on usb.
[19:47] <daftykins> Oggy: from what OS? you need to put it on a DVD or USB flash drive ideally
[19:47] <Oggy> From windows
[19:48] <OerHeks> or memorycard.
[19:48] <MonkeyDust> Oggy  yummi/yumi is a windows tool to create a bootable usb stick
[19:48] <Oggy> And can i install it onto an external drive then run it?
[19:48] <daftykins> external mechanical hard disk connected via USB?
[19:49] <Oggy> Yeah
[19:49] <daftykins> yes, but you'll need to pay attention during install else you'll be left with a bit of a mess
[19:49] <MonkeyDust> Oggy  http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[19:50] <Oggy> So i have partitioned it on :Z, i can just install it there?
[19:50] <daftykins> ubuntu cannot use drive letters you've setup with Windows
[19:50] <Oggy> But when you are installing
[19:50] <Oggy> Can you install it on :Z, which is on a drive, then run it?
[19:51] <MonkeyDust> Oggy  linux doesnt work with C: D: etc, it uses /dev/sda, /dev sda1 etc
[19:51] <Oggy> so how do i install on a partition
[19:51] <Oggy> If it is a :Z
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> Oggy  create a bootbale dvd or usb, with yumi
[19:52] <Oggy> Ok will try
[19:52] <TheOGGisback> Hello
[19:53] <TheOGGisback> This is also oggy
[19:53] <JFlash> good afternoon
[19:53] <TheOGGisback> But on phone ;P
[19:53] <JFlash> my laptop stopped detecting the secondary screen (HTML) for no appearent reason
[19:53] <TheOGGisback> I guess I will try using yuri
[19:53] <daftykins> JFlash: HTML? or HDMI? :P
[19:54] <JFlash> I just tested with 2 monitors and cables
[19:54] <JFlash> HDMI, sorry
[19:54] <TheOGGisback> To make my drive bootable
[19:54] <JFlash> I also tried xrandr --auto
[19:54] <daftykins> TheOGGisback: my vote would be for Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com - which is also where YUMI can be had.
[19:54] <JFlash> nothing shows up
[19:54] <TheOGGisback> Ok
[19:54] <TheOGGisback> Thanks for help
[19:54] <daftykins> JFlash: are you connecting it after boot, or powering up from being switched off - with the screens connected?
[19:55] <JFlash> daftykins, I tried both before and after boot
[19:55] <TheOGGisback> I would run only Linux but some games don't work on it
[19:55] <JFlash> is thre some sort of row back of system config on ubuntu or something
[19:55] <daftykins> JFlash: what graphics hardware does this laptop have? what driver is in use for it?
[19:55] <dimgs> Hello everybody, I would like to ask something about a new laptop and compatibility with Ubuntu. Could someone help me?
[19:55] <JFlash> this was working great in the morning
[19:56] <daftykins> dimgs: not until you ask the actual question
[19:56] <JFlash> its a 2015 model LG ultrabook
[19:56] <JFlash> probally and intell 4400
[19:56] <JFlash> this been working perfectly for 3 months
[19:56] <daftykins> JFlash: run "lspci | pastebinit"
[19:56] <dimgs> the laptop is here -->  http://lenovoshop.gr/specs/DS_G50_ds_80G0018JGM.pdf
[19:57] <JFlash> no program pastebinit installed
[19:57] <daftykins> dimgs: you might have issues installing Linux on that, as it goes. it's also little better than a netbook in many ways
[19:57] <daftykins> JFlash: yeah, you need to install pastebinit
[19:59] <JFlash> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10828665/
[19:59] <OerHeks> JFlash, maybe your laptop have a FN key for monitor internal/external/both ?
[19:59] <daftykins> ok yep intel on-die with the haswell
[20:00] <JFlash> OerHeks,  good point, but it's hardly improbable I taped it unwilling ly
[20:00] <JFlash> OerHeks, will check
[20:00] <daftykins> JFlash: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" might shed some light on what's up
[20:01] <dimgs> daftykins: do you mean issues with the drivers on it? graphics card, wireless card, sound card?
[20:01] <JFlash> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10828672/
[20:02] <daftykins> dimgs: no, general installation issues to do with EFI. windows 8 with bing complicates matters i think. the specification of that system is really terrible though, i don't think i'd want one for free :)
[20:03] <JFlash> any hints form the xorg?
[20:03] <JFlash> xorg log*
[20:03] <daftykins> oh i didn't see you posted it since you didn't highlight me
[20:03] <JFlash> sorry
[20:03] <daftykins> 14.10 huh?
[20:03] <JFlash> is that bad?
[20:03] <tworkin> is there any ppa for pyqt5 on ubuntu12.04?
[20:03] <daftykins> just confirming version
[20:04] <adrianita_18> hi
[20:04] <adrianita_18> iam programer
[20:04] <JFlash> i dont know  my ubuntu version
[20:04] <JFlash> its pretty recent thou
[20:04] <adrianita_18> incest sex >> http://www.joserro1.5gbfree.com/?p=184
[20:04] <JFlash> trusty or up
[20:04] <daftykins> JFlash: "cat /etc/issue" - anyway that log is no use without one of these HDMI displays connected
[20:04] <daftykins> so if you could power off, plug one in, then boot up and repeat the pastebinit
[20:05] <JFlash> ok will do
[20:05] <dimgs> daftykins: I know that specs are terrible, but it is free of charge for me, so I am thinking about that...or something similar "bing" unfortunately
[20:07] <dimgs> daftykins: I think that a lightweight distro would be ok into Lenovo, or not?
[20:08] <daftykins> dimgs: like i say i don't even think you will be able to successfully install on that
[20:11] <muzy> Hi everyone, I noticed that kernel.ubuntu.com seems to be down (tested from multiple locations). Is this a known problem?
[20:12] <roky> @muzy Right now, yes.
[20:13] <OerHeks> muzy, thanks, the admins are aware.
[20:13] <JFlash> hi
[20:13] <JFlash> Im'  back
[20:13] <JFlash> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10828712/
[20:13] <muzy> roky, OerHeks: great, thanks!
[20:15] <daftykins> JFlash: hmm i see nothing about another display at all... "xrandr | pastebinit" ?
[20:15] <fiks> how would I zero out the first 1MB of a file, in place?
[20:16] <JFlash> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10828726/
[20:16] <daftykins> JFlash: yeah no sign of anything else at all. confirm it's 14.10 with "cat /etc/issue" ?
[20:17] <TheNumb> lsb_release -d would also work
[20:17] <daftykins> yes i know this
[20:17] <JFlash> yes, 14.10
[20:18] <daftykins> JFlash: anything new come in if you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?
[20:18] <dimgs> daftykins: so, all laptops with Windows Bing are "locked"? I can't install any distro of Linux?
[20:18] <JFlash> daftykins, just curius, why updates would fix it, if it was working fine just a few hours ago?
[20:19] <daftykins> dimgs: i've read of issues with them is all
[20:19] <daftykins> JFlash: just check as a curiosity, it might offer a newer kernel. i suspect you may already be on a newer kernel which has caused this issue, if you have older ones you could try those
[20:19] <daftykins> JFlash: to be 100% certain... was it a TV or a monitor you just plugged in? was the display on during boot, sat awaiting input?
[20:20] <JFlash> btw was fiddling with virtual box this morning
[20:20] <JFlash> and then I had some problem which asked me to update a kernel
[20:20] <JFlash> net sure what kernel it was talking about
[20:20] <JFlash> not sure if it was virtualbox kernel it was talking about
[20:20] <JFlash> then I made this update
[20:21] <JFlash> but the computer has not been restarted btween the kernel update and the first occurence of the problem
[20:21] <bekks> Of which problem?
[20:21] <JFlash> bekks, it stopped detecting secondary screen
[20:21] <bekks> So did you restart?
[20:22] <splitwire> exit
[20:22] <splitwire> bye
[20:22] <JFlash> daftykins, TV
[20:22] <daftykins> but just before i asked you to power off and boot with the display connected?
[20:22] <JFlash> daftykins, I did try both TV and monitor a bit ago
[20:23] <daftykins> and was this TV switched on and tuned to the correct input channel when you made the log just above?
[20:23] <JFlash> daftykins, yes the display was waiting for input upon laptop boot
[20:23] <daftykins> did you look for key combo external monitor options as suggested earlier?
[20:24] <JFlash> yes i has some key like that
[20:24] <JFlash> pressing it yelds nothing
[20:25] <daftykins> JFlash: "ls /boot | pastebinit"
[20:25] <nightfuri> anyone why dmidecode wont work and gives this output ? # dmidecode 2.12 /dev/mem: No such file or directory
[20:26] <OerHeks> nightfuri, run it as root: sudo dmidecode
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> nightfuri  try     sudo dmidecode --type 4
[20:27] <nightfuri> i get the same thing running as root
[20:28] <JFlash> daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10828763/
[20:28] <OerHeks> nightfuri, is this in a VM ?
[20:29] <nightfuri> OerHeks: no. but i got the kernel 4.0 recently.
[20:29] <daftykins> JFlash: try booting an older kernel. hold left shift at boot time, go to advanced options, try each one
[20:29] <vlt> Hello. I just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. How can I add my audio device to the list of available devices? It is listed in `aplay -L` and appears also as selection in alsamixer (F6) but not as output device in the audio settings dialog. Any idea how to activate it? (It worked on 13.10 and several other systems (w/o pulse) before.)
[20:29] <daftykins> JFlash: but your logs suggest to me that a display was never connected
[20:30] <OerHeks> nightfuri, oh, own kernel, then i can´ t help you
[20:31] <nightfuri> OerHeks: thank you
[20:31] <OerHeks> tubejockey, 1000th visit today, hi
[20:33] <JFlash> sorry guys in meeting right now
[20:34] <daftykins> er, ok
[20:34] <nightfuri> OerHeks: i dont think so its own kernel. i got it from .deb files
[20:34] <OerHeks> nightfuri, you better check out #ubuntu+1 for vivid channel
[20:35] <daftykins> nightfuri: the point is you're using an unsupported configuration and so can't seek support here :)
[20:35] <nightfuri> oh ok thank you gusy OerHeks daftykins
[20:39] <realityphantom> There is nothing like hardcore pegging now is there?
[20:40] <tgm4883> uh
[20:41] <realityphantom> wrong channel, so sorry
[20:42]  * ObrienDave did not want to know anyway ;p
[20:43] <grkvlt> hi. wondering what the status of kernel.ubuntu.com is?
[20:44] <grkvlt> i can't connect from anywhere i try, so kernel updates fail ;(
[20:44] <nightfuri> whats the off topic channel ?
[20:44] <daftykins> !ot
[20:44] <ObrienDave> grkvlt, use dist-upgrade for kernel updates
[20:45] <ObrienDave> grkvlt, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:45] <ObrienDave> grkvlt, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:47] <grkvlt> that won't get me 3.19.3 though, will it?
[20:48] <ObrienDave> no
[20:48] <grkvlt> i need 3.18 or higher for docker overlay storage driver to work...
[20:49] <ObrienDave> http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/03/upgrade-kernel-3-19-3-ubuntulinux-mint/
[20:50] <grkvlt> "download and install the packages below in turn [...] from the kernel.ubuntu.com"
[20:50] <grkvlt> i know *how* to upgrade
[20:50] <grkvlt> but, kernel.ubuntu.com is down
[20:51] <ObrienDave> that's possible
[20:51] <daftykins> doing that isn't even supported, grkvlt - what are you trying to achieve?
[20:51] <grkvlt> so was wondering if there was a status page, maybe its scheduled maint?
[20:51] <Pici> grkvlt: I know that Canonical is aware of the outage, I didn't see an ETA on a fix though.
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> grkvlt  it's down, can't reach it either
[20:51] <grkvlt> what, kernel.ubuntu.com is not supported as a way of getting kernels for Ubuntu?
[20:51] <ObrienDave> https://www.kernel.org/
[20:52] <MonkeyDust> grkvlt  guess we'll soon learn what causes it
[20:52] <ObrienDave> grkvlt, obviously there's a problem with the website. sheesh
[20:52] <grkvlt> heh, ok. am just surprised there isn't a status page...?
[20:52] <JFlash> daftykins, back
[20:52] <mojtaba> Hi, Do you know how can I enable error detection in writer?
[20:53] <JFlash> daftykins, it's a real mistery, why would it stop working
[20:53] <JFlash> daftykins, is there some way that I can know
[20:53] <JFlash> daftykins, which updates I may have done to my system recently?
[20:54] <daftykins> JFlash: be nice if you could join all those messages into one :) try an older kernel as i suggested earlier
[20:56] <Jekferro> ciao
[20:57] <marianne> hi, someone was on here the other day and he said he had flixster working through firefox and 14.04
[20:58] <JFlash> daftykins, I just plugged a raspberry pi to the tv with the same cable
[20:58] <area51pilot> is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ down for everyone?
[20:58] <Bashing-om> JFlash: For the log of what the update process did -> cat /var/log/dpkg.log .
[20:58] <JFlash> daftykins, so that's proof that the laptop is to blame :(
[20:59] <JFlash> Bashing-om, thanks will check
[21:01] <vlt> vlt: Read the syslog messages about xhci_hcd errors and then plug the device into a non-blue USB port. -- vlt: Aah, thanks! That worked mysteriously.
[21:01] <OerHeks> marianne, try chrome, as it supports netflix too
[21:02] <JFlash> daftykins, could this be of help?    http://pastebin.com/ZatXiBMN
[21:02] <daftykins> JFlash: did you do what i suggested yet?
[21:02] <Iw43> hello ubuntu users, in one of ubuntu machines the screen is nicely shining bright white, while in the other it is yellowish dim..the two screens have different resolutions, is it the reason for it?
[21:03] <JFlash> daftykins, well I want to avoid rolling back to older kernel
[21:03] <Iw43> the brightness settings of the two are the same
[21:03] <JFlash> daftykins, isnt that like some sort of last resort?
[21:03] <daftykins> Iw43: different screens have different colour reproduction, if that's what you're asking
[21:03] <daftykins> JFlash: just. try. it.
[21:04] <marianne> OerHeks: just keeps loading, nothing plays, no error message?
[21:04] <Iw43> daftykins, 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 comparison
[21:04] <daftykins> Iw43: i take it they're different makes + models? not identical?
[21:04] <Iw43> daftykins, same make, but different model
[21:04] <daftykins> yeah so not really an ubuntu issue
[21:05] <Iw43> but same ubuntu version
[21:05] <vlt> Iw43: Different model. That’s enough reason ;-)
[21:05] <Iw43> is it because the resolutions are different?
[21:05] <vlt> Iw43: Try two identical and come back if they show veeery different brightness.
[21:06] <vlt> Iw43: No, it’s because they are two different models.
[21:06] <daftykins> as long as the displays are using the native screen resolution, that's all you can do
[21:06] <daftykins> unless someone has messed with the OSD settings
[21:06] <Iw43> ok, thank you both for your information.
[21:08] <marianne> OerHeks: do i need any extensions or addins?
[21:09] <OerHeks> marianne, i don't know, chrome was my last resort, i read ". Please Note: At this time Linux OS is not supported for Streaming or Download."on their site.
[21:10] <marianne> OerHeks: well crap on a cracker... guess I'll just have to live with HBOGo
[21:12] <OerHeks> marianne, it surely plays on that chromecast hdmi stick http://www.google.com/chrome/devices/chromecast/apps.html#?view=search
[21:13] <marianne> OerHeks: how much will one of those set me back
[21:14] <daftykins> marianne: we don't know where you are in the world - and we're not a Google shop :)
[21:14] <marianne> daftykins: I know, I realized how stupid that was after i hit enter
[21:15] <daftykins> ;]
[21:15] <perpetualdelaype> hello, does Ubuntu have an official suggestion/ bug mention place?
[21:15] <OerHeks> marianne, if you open chrome > appstore, there is a app for it: Version: 1.0.0 Updated: March 12, 2015
[21:15] <elacheche_anis> Guys! Is there a public infrastructure team where we can contribute?
[21:16] <elacheche_anis> perpetualdelaype, you're lookign for launchpad.net :)
[21:16] <JFlash> daftykins, I just tried all the kernels that were listed ,23 up to ,32  and one of the recovery modes
[21:16] <JFlash> daftykins, nothing so far
[21:16] <MonkeyDust> !contribute | elacheche_anis
[21:16] <OerHeks> perpetualdelaype, sure, launchpad
[21:16] <OerHeks> !bug
[21:16] <kokut> Hello, anyone knows how to change/remove a key-binding from cmus?
[21:16] <perpetualdelaype> thanks elecheche_anis
[21:18] <vlt> Hello. After installing Ubuntu 14.04 on an empty new disk the swap partition is not swap-on’ed. There’s a line in /etc/fstab pointing to a luks device and a corresponding line in /etc/crypttab but no device in /dev/mapper. What happened? How to fix this?
[21:18] <elacheche_anis> yeah MonkeyDust, there is all types of contribution right there, but IT ones :( I think that's a "right" for canonical's sysadmins.. :/ I don't like to go and contribute to Fedora Infrastructure Team x)
[21:18] <marianne> OerHeks: thanks I'll take a look right now
[21:34] <rgb247> I have a VPS, I cannot ping/curl any https website. How can I solve that?
[21:36] <lancaster> i need to copy a wordpress folder by sftp, local folder is public and target folder is public_html
[21:36] <hkrrsx> rgb247: Make sure port 443 is open on your firewall
[21:36] <lancaster> how is the command?
[21:36] <hkrrsx> It might not be by default
[21:39] <rgb247> hkrrsx: can you tell me how to open it please? it is blocked by iptables?
[21:39] <hkrrsx> rgb247: Are you using UFW or iptables specifically?
[21:40] <hkrrsx> Yes, I'm aware that UFW is basically a front end for iptables :)
[21:40] <rgb247> hkrrsx: it seems that UFW is inactive
[21:40] <rgb247> ufw status verbose gives: inactive
[21:41] <hkrrsx> rgb247: iptables -nvL --line-numbers | pastebinit
[21:41] <hkrrsx> Please
[21:43] <rgb247> hkrrsx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10829623/
[21:43] <hkrrsx> Excellent
[21:45] <JFlash> hi, I'm back with my second monitor problems. I installed intel graphics from this url but still no sign of life from HTMI :   https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
[21:45] <JFlash> most references I find online list display port as "disconnected" on the xrandr command output. however , in my case htmi is not even listed!
[21:45] <hkrrsx> rgb247:  sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport https -j ACCEPT
[21:46] <hkrrsx> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[21:46] <JFlash> I wish I could find out if it's a hardware problem
[21:46] <hkrrsx> That'll open port 443 for incoming connections
[21:46] <hkrrsx> You're not blocked on outgoing connections either
[21:46] <daftykins> JFlash: boot a live session from USB
[21:46] <rgb247> hkrrsx: thank you, it works
[21:47] <hkrrsx> Superb
[21:47] <OerHeks> JFlash, that ppa is dead, maybe https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa has better interl drivers.
[21:49] <JFlash> OerHeks, but its listed as a March 2015 release??
[21:52] <JFlash> daftykins, ok so go to linux on a stick website and download the stuff from there, is that what yu mean?
[21:53] <OerHeks> JFlash, you understand that 'march 2015' driver is for 3.19 kernel ??
[21:53] <kophygiddie> #django
[21:54] <OerHeks> as current ubuntu versions do not have that, it is notgoing to work.
[21:54] <[n0mad]> last week I changed my ubuntu one password. now i'm unable to turn on recommendations. if i launch software center as sudo it pops up and lets me login and i can see recommendations. any ideas?
[21:54] <daftykins> JFlash: download ubuntu desktop, throw it on a flash drive, boot from it, then try plugging the TV in from that *live session*
[21:55] <[n0mad]> i've also reinstalled software center
[21:57] <JFlash> daftykins, sounds like a plan but I think I only have SDCards and external disk drives :(
[21:57] <OerHeks> [n0mad], it could be you have 2 keys in keys & passowrds  [seahorse]  stored, http://askubuntu.com/a/143291  delete one
[21:57] <JFlash> OerHeks, thanks for the tip
[21:58] <JFlash> OerHeks, should I remove that installation then?
[21:59] <OerHeks> JFlash, yes i would purge/remove that intel repo
[22:02] <dustinspringman> any postfix masters in the house?
[22:03] <JFlash> OerHeks, I'm using sofware center
[22:03] <JFlash> OerHeks, it only gives me option to "reinstall", never to remove
[22:03] <hkrrsx> dustinspringman: /join #postfix
[22:03] <dustinspringman> hkrrsx: hah! I guess I should've thought of that.. thanks!
[22:03] <OerHeks> !ppa-purge
[22:04] <hkrrsx> dustinspringman: You got it :)
[22:04] <OerHeks> i hope this works for that repo too
[22:05] <[n0mad]> OerHeks, thanks! I went ahead and deleted anything there Ubuntu because i'm brave and there were many "ubuntu web account" listings and one for ubuntu one
[22:06] <[n0mad]> i went ahead and deleted all of those and then restarted software center and now when i turned on recommendations it worked
[22:06] <OerHeks> [n0mad], have fun
[22:09] <JFlash> OerHeks,  sudo ppa-purge command not found!
[22:09] <Seveas> !info openssh-server vivid
[22:10] <samthewildone> What it the command to regenerate the passcode for the encryption of my /home folder.
[22:11] <roky> Do you have the encryption utilities installed?
[22:11] <tyagi_> hi
[22:12] <samthewildone> roky, not sure.
[22:12] <samthewildone> roky, was a fresh install with encryption so deep I don't remember.
[22:12] <steve> what stops the owner of a PPA arbitrarily overwriting my system?
[22:12] <steve> like shipping me a new openssh-server
[22:12] <samthewildone> roky, all I know is when I logged in, a prompt to generate a passcode was available and I clicked it but, didn't write down the passcode.
[22:12] <roky> @steve the choice of you updating the package or not.
[22:13] <steve> ok, so nothing :)
[22:13] <roky> @samthewildone "sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils cryptsetup"
[22:14] <steve> the usual update/dist-upgrade cycle doesn't present the user with the origin of each package afaik
[22:14] <roky> @steve, You could use another terminal to show where packages are being updated from. However, I don't know off the top of my head what terminal does. However, I have seen it.
[22:15] <roky> That or you could see the packages that need to be updated and keep an eye on the ppa packages you have. It's not ideal though, ha.
[22:15] <samthewildone> roko, thanks I found the command "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase"
[22:15] <roky> Did it prompt for your login password?
[22:16] <roky> It should then show you the passphrase.
[22:16] <steve> roky: yeah, i guess it's an intrinsic risk, oh well
[22:16] <roky> @steve, Pretty much. PPA's are great, but there is a risk to adding any repo not on the distro by default.
[22:16] <roky> Price of choice ;)
[22:20] <samthewildone> roko, got it !
[22:20] <samthewildone> roky, ^
[22:22] <roky> @samthewildone Awesome, glad to hear it.
[22:24] <tds5016> hi all. Question... I have an openstack instance from which I've attached a volume. Do you know an easy way  I could figure out what the device path is from the instance?
[22:25] <tds5016> I don't want to query openstack itself.
[22:30] <mekhami> i'm having trouble booting from USB
[22:30] <mekhami> i made a usb loader earlier
[22:30] <mekhami> plugged it into my PC
[22:30] <mekhami> my bios settings have USB as the first boot priority
[22:30] <mekhami> and it's stuck on a blinking cursor
[22:31] <daftykins> mekhami: which OS did you make up the flash drive with? did you MD5 your download to check it was good?
[22:32] <mekhami> i downloaded straight from ubuntu.com today, i made it up on OS X with whatever the tool is in the ubuntu docs
[22:33] <mekhami> i can make it again from a windows desktop
[22:34] <XYZAFFA1R> I am on ubuntu 14.04 trying to get league of legends to work under wine 1.7.38. I used playonlinux to install it and that all went well but when I get in an actuall game I get about 10 fps. Other than the frame rate everything else works well. I am using intel graphics. SO far I tried dropping the settings and turning off shadows to no effect.
[22:38] <XYZAFFA1R> Hello?
[22:38] <postmodern> how do you ensure update-alternatives survive updates? everytime I update the ruby2.0 package (from brightbox's PPA) apt-get resets the symlinks to point to the ruby1.9.1 package
[22:38] <alex1001> bonjour
[22:38] <alex1001> j'ai une question , si quelqu'un peut m'aider
[22:38] <k1l> !fr | alex1001
[22:39] <mekhami> Anyone know why my USB loader might not be working?
[22:39] <daftykins> mekhami: try from Windows yeah, using Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com
[22:39] <k1l> mekhami: just use "dd" to burn the image onto the usb
[22:40] <k1l> some "make usb" tools corrupt the iso
[22:41] <OerHeks> XYZAFFA1R, check the wineHQ database, for tips.
[22:41] <OerHeks> else your intel gpu is not that strong for 3d gaming
[22:42] <XYZAFFA1R> OerHeks, It runs smoothly in windows on my computer, but I don't have windows anymore.
[22:43] <JFlash> guys, how do I reinstall ubuntu without a cd or flash drive
[22:43] <k1l> XYZAFFA1R: better ask the wine guys. seems like the wine layer is the issue there
[22:44] <EriC^^> JFlash: you want to fresh install?
[22:44] <k1l> JFlash: pxe boot or let grub load the iso. but its most easy just to get a dvd or usb drive
[22:44] <JFlash> EriC^^,  well anything that can fix what I screw up :(
[22:45] <EriC^^> JFlash: you could dd the partition of your installation
[22:45] <EriC^^> and if it gets really bad you could just dd it back
[22:45] <JFlash> what does dd mean
[22:45] <EriC^^> diskdump, it's a tool
[22:45] <JFlash> what can I find a step by step that I can follow
[22:45] <JFlash> I'm not an advanced user
[22:46] <OerHeks> XYZAFFA1R, 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 stuff
[22:46] <JFlash> how 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.img
[22:46] <JFlash> ok but I dont have the media to save it on
[22:47] <JFlash> maybe I'm not following
[22:47] <JFlash> i don't have the phisical media
[22:47] <pgunnars> Seems 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).
[22:48] <daftykins> pgunnars: 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 it
[22:48] <EriC^^> JFlash: ^
[22:49] <JFlash> again
[22:49] <JFlash> I don't have media
[22:49] <JFlash> I want to reinstall from hard drive
[22:49] <EriC^^> JFlash: if you make a separate partition with just an ubuntu iso and it
[22:49] <JFlash> in widows I can restore the system
[22:49] <EriC^^> you could boot the iso and restore when you want
[22:50] <JFlash> is 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 boom
[22:50] <JFlash> where is the ISO?
[22:50] <EriC^^> releases.ubuntu.com
[22:51] <JFlash> ah ok
[22:51] <JFlash> so it's something I have to download
[22:51] <EriC^^> yeah
[22:51] <JFlash> hey I have this in my external drive
[22:51] <JFlash> I already have it
[22:51] <JFlash> what do I do with it?
[22:51] <EriC^^> if you have an external drive
[22:51] <JFlash> it's not a flash drive thou!
[22:52] <JFlash> it's hard disk
[22:52] <EriC^^> then just dd your installation there, and if you ever need to restore just dd it back from there
[22:52] <EriC^^> you can boot the .iso i think from there no problem maybe someone can confirm
[22:52] <JFlash> EriC^^,  maybe you did not follow, the reason I need to reinstall is that the system is broken
[22:53] <JFlash> I screw up the config
[22:53] <EriC^^> what config
[22:53] <JFlash> well it doesnt detect the HDMI port anymore
[22:53] <JFlash> it's not even listed on xrandr
[22:53] <EriC^^> what config file did you change?
[22:54] <JFlash> id not change anything manually I just stopped working
[22:54] <JFlash> maybe some kernel update
[22:54] <EriC^^> did you try an older kernel?
[22:54] <JFlash> but then I tried a few kernels and nothing worked
[22:54] <JFlash> I tried many things, I ahve been trying things for 5 hours
[22:55] <JFlash> I really need my second screen back :(
[22:55] <daftykins> EriC^^: i was following this one earlier, definitely need a live session booted to be able to diagnose further
[22:55] <daftykins> JFlash: you're going to need to obtain a flash drive
[22:55] <JFlash> ouch
[22:56] <daftykins> or perhaps a kind soul will help you add a manual GRUB entry to boot a .ISO from your /boot partition directly
[22:56] <JFlash> can't I just get a fresh install rather than continue to try to battle this?
[22:56] <daftykins> well yes but you say you have no flash drive or DVD to put Ubuntu on
[22:57] <JFlash> that's right , I don't
[22:57] <JFlash> sorry I just happen to come recently from windows
[22:57] <daftykins> so you're out of options
[22:57] <daftykins> honestly you can even buy flash drives in supermarkets now
[22:57] <JFlash> so it's hard for me to grasp that I cannot restore my computer to a fresh , safe state
[22:57] <JFlash> that 's a bit mind boggling to me
[22:58] <daftykins> why? only Windows 8 offers this functionality as you describe.
[22:58] <JFlash> (without using accessories, that's what I mean)
[22:58] <dawnson> The installer does not detect any keyboard (after grub, when selecting languages)
[22:58] <daftykins> well, kind of macs too i suppose
[22:58] <daftykins> but they just clean install over the internet
[22:58] <dawnson> Found several bug reports for multiple Ubuntu versions all as won't fix because no new ISO for that Ubuntu version
[22:58] <dawnson> Wtf?
[22:59] <daftykins> dawnson: are you talking about 15.04 ?
[22:59] <dawnson> Yes but have the same issue with 14.10 ISO
[22:59] <JFlash> I have SD cards
[22:59] <JFlash> will those do?
[22:59] <dawnson> (Both server ISO)
[22:59] <JFlash> I have a raspberry pi
[22:59] <JFlash> lol
[22:59] <daftykins> JFlash: you can try. it's up to your system whether it can boot from them
[22:59] <JFlash> I'm f*cked
[23:00] <EriC^^> JFlash: did you do an update or something before it disappeared?
[23:00] <daftykins> don't use even obfuscated language in here please
[23:00] <JFlash> EriC^^,  maybe, I use the computer all day
[23:00] <JFlash> EriC^^, I do have a log online, 1 sec
[23:00] <k1l> JFlash: the most easy way would be to grab a dvd or usb-pendrive
[23:00] <mekhami> this isn't exactly ubuntu related, but any idea why my new SSD might not be detected?
[23:01] <dawnson> I tried every setting and no matter if I boot from bios or Efi
[23:01] <mekhami> It's all connected but the bios doesn't notice it
[23:01] <k1l> JFlash: 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 grub
[23:01] <dawnson> Keyboard does work fine in grub but not In installer
[23:01] <JFlash> EriC^^, http://pastebin.com/ZatXiBMN
[23:01] <k1l> mekhami: hardware failure? does the bios support ssds?
[23:01] <JFlash> EriC^^,  problem started when I got back home around 4 pm and trided to re-connect the TV
[23:02] <k1l> dawnson: what keyboard?
[23:02] <k1l> dawnson: some special hardware has issues with the kernel. which gets loaded after grub
[23:02] <dawnson> I tried a wireless Logitech one and a wired (usb) roccat one
[23:02] <JFlash> k1l, ok I will try to read about those
[23:03] <dawnson> Nothing special about this. My Efi/bios supports both
[23:03] <dawnson> Even windows 7 installer works fine
[23:03] <EriC^^> JFlash: did you check dmesg or the xorg logs?
[23:03] <dawnson> The only other keyboards I have besides those 2 are all Bluetooth so no option to use them during setup
[23:05] <JFlash> EriC^^, daftykins did look at xorg logs
[23:05] <JFlash> EriC^^, don't remember have trying dmesg
[23:07] <dawnson> (The device I am trying to install on is an i5 Intel nuc
[23:08] <dawnson> I know it is possible because I had Ubuntu on there before, but I don't know how I did it back the
[23:08] <dawnson> Haven't changed any device settings either
[23:09] <JFlash> EriC^^,  what should I look for in dmesg?
[23:09] <deadmund> dawnson: I just got here,  what is the issue you're having??
[23:10] <k1l> dawnson: could be a kernel issue?!
[23:10] <dawnson> Deadmund: keyboard not working in installer for server image
[23:10] <dawnson> But works fine in grub
[23:11] <dawnson> K1l: with 2 different kernels? Unlikely
[23:11] <deadmund> dawnson: very strange.  I have no idea! :(
[23:11] <dawnson> (14.10 and 15.04)
[23:11] <dawnson> Have this every time I want to install Ubuntu on any machine! Well not every time but annoyingly often
[23:12] <k1l> dawnson: ?!
[23:12] <k1l> on different hardware types with different keyboards?
[23:12] <daftykins> dawnson: do you have the latest BIOS on this NUC?
[23:13] <dawnson> I tried 2 different keyboards (all I have besides the Bluetooth ones) and tried the 14.10 and 15.04 kernels
[23:13] <dawnson> daftykins: yes
[23:14] <daftykins> 100% you checked intel's pages - you're not just saying yes to make it a problem here? :)
[23:14] <dawnson> No, I checked yesterday when I started using the nuc again after a few months (it had win7 installed for a while)
[23:16] <JFlash> guys could this tool help me: https://launchpad.net/systemback
[23:16] <JFlash> they say the have sistem install and system repair
[23:16] <dawnson> Jflash: what do you want to do?
[23:17] <deadmund> dawnson: 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] <JFlash> dawnson, repair my system , it's not working properly anymore
[23:17] <JFlash> dawnson,  been trying to fix it all day
[23:17] <JFlash> dawnson, it can no longer see HDMI port
[23:17] <Johnny_Linux> i believe that is a back up first pgm
[23:18] <deadmund> JFlash: 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] <dawnson> Deadmund: 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 comes
[23:18] <JFlash> deadmund, but it says it has an "install" feature!
[23:18] <JFlash> not just restore
[23:19] <JFlash> http://www.unixmen.com/systemback-restore-linux-system-previous-state/
[23:19] <dawnson> Jflash: the raspberri pi has a .txt file in the root partition for he I options (and some other) you can try that. There should be instructions in the raspberry wiki
[23:19] <JFlash> dawnson, but I'm not rying to reinstal lthe raspberry pi
[23:19] <JFlash> I'm trying to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop
[23:20] <EriC^^> JFlash: type tail -n 100 /var/log/apt/history.log | pastebinit
[23:20] <JFlash> raspberry has some sort of lesser linux on
[23:20] <dawnson> Ah ok then I have no idea
[23:23] <mekhami> ok...
[23:23] <mekhami> so I got my SSD detected
[23:23] <mekhami> but now it's not detecting my USB
[23:23] <dawnson> Guess I do have to try Ubuntu desktop version, that might work according to some people on the Internet (so probably not)
[23:23] <dawnson> Mekhami: welcome to the club xD
[23:24] <compdoc> mekhami, the ssd is sata?
[23:24] <Guest98376> guys, I have a laptop with a broken screen, so I have it hooked up to a monitor. Which one is Monitor 0 and which one is Monitor 1?
[23:26] <Guest98376> Do you think monitor 1 is my broken laptop screen?
[23:28] <EriC^^> Guest98376: in what context?
[23:28] <JFlash> EriC^^, still there?
[23:28] <IYOOT> can i be band from an irc net even if i chenges my ip and user name?
[23:29] <EriC^^> JFlash: yeah
[23:29] <JFlash> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10830324
[23:29] <mekhami> compdoc yes and it's detected
[23:29] <k1l> IYOOT: ban evading ist forbidden in most irc networks
[23:29] <mekhami> but now i go into the bios and the usb doesn't show up in boot priority
[23:29] <daftykins> IYOOT: that is not on topic here, you can chat to #freenode about their rules for this network.
[23:29] <IYOOT> how do i unblock myslef?
[23:30] <IYOOT> sorry
[23:30] <Guest98376> umm In my "computer summary", i have two displays. One is my broken laptop screen, and one is a desk monitor I am using that is hooked to it. Which one is Monitor 1 and which one is Monitor O?
[23:30] <darkelfjuggalo> Can someone tell me the easiest way to get the most up to date version of Firefox on Unbuntu 14.04... the Repository doesn't have it and every time i try to install a program from a .tar i can't access it properly
[23:30] <JFlash> EriC^^, see anything suspicious?
[23:31] <EriC^^> JFlash: not really
[23:31] <JFlash> EriC^^, or anything I could try to undo?
[23:31] <dawnson> Is there a release date for 15.04?
[23:31] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: what version are you talking about?
[23:31] <k1l> dawnson: 27th april iirc
[23:31] <dawnson> Hmmm
[23:31] <EriC^^> JFlash: try booting the iso from grub https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[23:32] <EriC^^> JFlash: try the sd card first it might work
[23:32] <dawnson> darkelfjuggalo: can you install it from Mozilla.com?
[23:32] <JFlash> EriC^^,  looks like a major upgrade today around 7 am
[23:32] <mekhami> i don't understand
[23:32] <mekhami> i just rebuild this usb loader
[23:32] <mekhami> take it from the pc
[23:32] <mekhami> plug it into the other one
[23:32] <k1l> !info firefox | darkelfjuggalo
[23:33] <mekhami> and my bios doesn't see it
[23:33] <mekhami> idgi
[23:34] <EriC^^> JFlash: type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA | pastebinit
[23:35] <JFlash> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10830340/
[23:37] <mekhami> nevermind, it was listed in hard drives for whatever reason
[23:40] <JFlash> EriC^^, did you see it?
[23:42] <darkelfjuggalo> firefox uses a .tar file, not .deb file but it says to direct download... can i add mozilla as a source for existing mozilla software?
[23:42] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: what version are you talking about?
[23:43] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: ?
[23:43] <darkelfjuggalo> i dont know what version i have, only that my gmail says it no longer supports this version but the list of supported versions says it supports the most recent and current major release
[23:43] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: can you pastebin a "sudo apt-get update &&apt-cache policy firefox"
[23:44] <k1l> !paste | darkelfjuggalo
[23:46] <JFlash> what about UnetBooting
[23:47] <k1l> that corrupts the iso
[23:47] <JFlash> could it help me install without a USB stick?
[23:47] <k1l> which can result in boot failure
[23:47] <mekhami> okay so i have a fresh install of ubuntu now!
[23:47] <k1l> JFlash: no.
[23:47] <daftykins> JFlash: seriously please just wait and buy a flash drive, this topic is getting irritating now :P
[23:47] <mekhami> I have a question though; I don't want to mess up my paths again, last time I had to sudo half the time and not half the time, so let me see if I can get an explanation
[23:47] <mekhami> when I do things like apt-get, do I always have to sudo?
[23:47] <mekhami> how do i set up my user correctly this time?
[23:48] <k1l> JFlash: seriously: pxe boot or iso booting in grub. but that are advanced topics. the best way is to grab a dvd or usb drive.
[23:48] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: so any feedback?
[23:48] <JFlash> k1l, why no?
[23:48] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: if you would give some feedback we could sort that in seconds.
[23:49] <k1l> JFlash: that doesnt help you without a usb pendrive. and even then its not the best method.
[23:49] <darkelfjuggalo> well i have several peices of business working at once and the browser issue ties into my business... here is the paste http://pastebin.com/3MxtrzCq
[23:49] <k1l> JFlash: i already answered you twice what your options are
[23:50] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: oh my. you got raring sources enabled? what sort of mess is that?
[23:50] <JFlash> well you are oblidged to know or remember evrything :)    (as in evry option that could help me)
[23:50] <JFlash> anyway, point taken
[23:51] <daftykins> JFlash: you've been told what your choices are, please accept them now :)
[23:51] <darkelfjuggalo> that was what has been in effect since I upgraded
[23:51] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: please pastebin a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" and a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" too
[23:51] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: how did you upgrade?
[23:52] <darkelfjuggalo> the previous version did it automatically. then i spent 3 months trying to get my DE back
[23:53] <daftykins> after one month you didn't clean install? :P
 darkelfjuggalo: please pastebin a "ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d" and a "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" too
[23:53] <darkelfjuggalo> http://pastebin.com/WB2ushJc
[23:54] <Bashing-om> mekhami: Think like so, anytime you are working outside of your /home directory, and desire to make any change to the system, administrative authority is required. that is the 'sudo' mechanisim .
[23:55] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" then erase all lines which include "raring" and erase the last both line with ubuntuzilla, too
[23:56] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: then ctrl+o for saving, then ctrl+x for exit. then "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy firefox"
[23:57] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: wait
[23:57] <darkelfjuggalo> wait what?
[23:57] <k1l> darkelfjuggalo: dont remove the 2 lines that include "partner". you need to exchange the raring with a trusty there.
