rellisHello all. I am tryping to tar 1.7 million files that total 170gb. The tar command is consuming less than 2% cpu on average, no IO wait, no sys, no nothing... and there's no competition on the system. Why does it go so slow?00:06
k1l_darkelfjuggalo: ok, i would run a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to make sure all packages are now on the true trusty state and not on the old raring one.00:07
k1l_darkelfjuggalo: but firefox is 37.0.1 now, which is the latest firefox release00:07
pbxrellis, what's its "NI" (niceness) value in top/htop?00:07

relliserr sorry, pbx00:08

rellispbc: Actually NI is 0... PR is 1500:08
pbxrellis, try renicing?00:10
pbxit sounds curious though.00:10
rellispbx: I will try that right now00:10
pbxso little of what i do is cpu-bound i have no experience to apply00:10
rellisthat's fair00:11
pbxyou could turn it all the way to -20 and if there's no change in cpu usage or progress (if you're tracking that) then niceness clearly isn't it...00:13
=== Dragonslicer is now known as Dragnslcr
rellispbx: I just set it down to -20 and there's no change.00:14
=== max_ is now known as Guest55658
rellispbx: Thanks for trying though.00:14
pbxrellis, the other thing that occurs to me is that it may indeed be IO bound but the reporting thereof is somehow obscured00:16
pbxi assume you'd notice if it was swapping for some reason (i assume tar can handle x million filename jobs but you never know)00:16

chokiIs ubuntu rolling release? Because when I do sudo apt-get upgrade there are always some packages who have an upgrade available.00:25
somsipchoki: no it's not00:25
chokiwhats the difference then? ubuntu also has upgraded packages i can install00:25
somsipchoki: once a release is made, the packages dont upgrade over major versions. EG: install 5.0.0 and you'll upgrade to 5.*.* but not 6.*. (it's a facvile example)00:26
somsip*facile00:26
chokiso ubuntu only gets minor updates?00:27
chokii dont get really the diff between00:27
chokiI also get software updates with ubuntu00:27
daftykinschoki: major versions don't change, but minor versions (i.e. fixes) do00:28
somsipchoki: 2nd answer on here http://askubuntu.com/questions/265680/ubuntu-rolling-release-model00:29
AssociateXI have tried to boot a Ubuntu and then Xubuntu install dvd but I get a message: "WARNING: PAE disabled. Use parameter 'forcepae' to enable at you own risk! This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae". Then it says "Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for you CPU". The CPU is a Intel Pentium M processor (1600 MHz), the laptop is a HP/Compaq nx5000.00:30
chokithanks a lot!00:30
daftykinsAssociateX: yeah, so have you added forcepae ?00:31
ubuntu795hi there00:32
daftykinsAssociateX: i warn you though, that old a system isn't going to be too great00:32
AssociateXdaftykins, I don't know how to add forcepae as a boot option.00:33
ubuntu795the unity menu (the one on the left by default) doesn´t apear when I move the mouse on the left side, do you know how can I fix that?00:33
daftykinsAssociateX: when you boot, press a key at the purple logo so the language select pops up, then highlight 'try' and press 'e' to edit i think it is, or press F6 for advanced options00:34

Finetundrahello folks, I need to find a DNS benchmarker. Whats a good one?00:38
daftykinsFinetundra: not sure what you mean.00:39
Finetundradaftykins, I need some tool to test a few DNS servers. Currentky I'm having issues00:40
daftykinstest in what way?00:41
daftykinsthis genuinely doesn't make sense to me :)00:41
Finetundradaftykins, test which is fastest for my location. As I said I'm having trouble with my current one00:42
daftykinsyeah but you miss out key details 1) which and 2) what's happening :)00:43
cluelesspersonHey guys, I'm trying to do something similar to pastebin.  cluelessperson.com/slice/   and I made a script in ubuntu called "sliceit"00:47
cluelesspersonproblem is that command | sliceit  seems to be a bit slow.00:47
cluelesspersonI'm wondering if sys.stdin.read is just slow, or what?00:47
cluelesspersonor maybe it's just as slow as it would take to print out the info?00:48
ultrapepehey i have a question about deleted ppa's.  how do i rectify apt keys for installed packages from a deleted ppa?00:48
Finetundradaftykins, what do you mean by which. As for whats happening, all my computers are having massively long or even infinate load times for web pages reached through domain names. In the times that they do load it's almost always plain text on the pages00:49
OerHeksultrapepe, rectify ? delete or retrieve?00:49
ultrapepeOerHeks: either, apt is erroring out and i can't find the signing key for that ppa.00:50
daftykinsFinetundra: well, what IPs are you using? ISP DNS or google/opendns?00:50
OerHeksultrapepe, what ppa?00:50
ultrapepejon-severinsson ffmpeg00:50
OerHeksand for what ubuntu version? we need more detail00:50
ultrapepeOerHeks: jon-severinsson ffmpeg precise00:51
OerHeksultrapepe, read the ppa https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/staging-deletedppa00:51
ultrapepeOerHeks: the information on that page is private.00:52
OerHeksdeleted, gone.00:52
OerHeks!ppapurge00:53
ubottuTo disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html00:53
Finetundradafytkins, I'm going to assume that you mean the DNS servers. In which case, AT&T's default(blasted uverse service) and Google's(piped through a secondary because att's doesn't reach everywhere I need it)00:53
ultrapepei need to keep the ffmpeg packages that are installed, i don't want to revert to ubuntu's.  i want to keep the packages and fix the gpg key problem00:54
cluelesspersonHere it is.  I built this sort of pastebin alternative, and I'm working on some python in ubuntu.  Problem is that it seems to be a little slow.  It takes several seconds, verssus the website submitting in like 0.2 seconds.   http://cluelessperson.com/slice/1dcbd0/100:54

Kb52Is it appropriate to discuss USB Bluetooth adapter here?01:15

=== Yukkino is now known as Yukkii
Kb52Well here goes. Got a Bluetooth USB dongle hooked to my Desktop. It shows it in the taskbar. Here is the line from lsusb Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1131:1004 Integrated System Solution Corp. Bluetooth Device01:17
Kb52All appears to work, but nothing sees it nor does it see anything. I am probably going to go boot into WindoZe just to see what happens there, and then come back to here. Just wondering if there is any hope. Right now the only device I have tried was my cell phone.01:19
daftykinsjust make sure you're not using a USB 3.0 port i guess01:20
=== AyraXaryA is now known as VectorX
Kb52No it only has USB 2 ports.01:21

daftykinsmekhami: install nvidia-331 - done01:33
daftykinsmekhami: it'll be offered through 'additional drivers'01:33
mekhamii can do this through apt-get?01:33
daftykinsyes01:34

cinnamonbunHello, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and have proceeded to upgrade the kernel to 4.0. I have pentium G3240 which has Intel HD graphics. Do I need to install anything extra in the form of drivers to optimise my system or will whatever is preinstalled work fine?01:40
daftykinscinnamonbun: running a non-standard kernel is not supported.01:40
daftykinsthus what you are now running isn't ubuntu anymore :)01:41
aeon-ltdcinnamonbun: if you've got the intel drivers, i don't think there are any other drivers available besides testing/beta maybe01:41
kostkoncinnamonbun, intel drivers are in the kernel01:41
cinnamonbunkostex: I see. Perfect. Thanks. I haven't installed any drivers for it from a website and nothing comes up in the driver manager too01:41
kostkoncinnamonbun, yes, that's normal01:42
daftykinsyou don't install drivers like Windows :)01:42
daftykinsyou also don't unecessarily run newer kernels...01:42
cinnamonbunlovely, daftykins it's the greatest thing ever. I imagine Id need to do some tinkering if I were a gamer but thankfully I am not. Just wanted to know if it was all optimised01:42
cinnamonbunalso, I know it's a no no but I've always upgraded to the latest kernels with no issues so far for 1+ year. I don't recommend it to anyone of course but it's fun01:43
daftykinscinnamonbun: right but doing so, you can't ask for support here because you're not running a known setup anymore.01:43
cinnamonbundaftykins: I understand. Does 14.10 have the same kernel as 14.04?01:44
daftykinsno01:44
daftykins3.13 = 14.04, 3.16 14.1001:44
=== norm is now known as Guest17174

cinnamonbunWhile I am here. Pretend I am on a supported kernel for now. I've installed 14.04 under UEFI/GPT partition table (only Ubuntu, no other OS). Do I need to change something in the grub settings so it boots faster? Right now I have the motherboard uefi logo, a blank screen for  3 seconds (i assume grub) and then the ubuntu logo01:47

daftykinscan you explain on one line?01:50
mekhamiand i'm playing for a bit and the screen starts going grey and my computer starts going to sleep like i've been idle this whole time01:50
mekhamino, because that's stupid and nobody wants to read walls of text.01:50
daftykinsyou've already made one.01:50
mekhamithere's separation in this. it's called chat. it's been around for decades.01:51
daftykinsare you aware how bad form it is to argue when you're the one that wants help? :)01:51
mekhamiare you aware how little fucks i give about your incomprehensible attitude towards newlines?01:51
mekhamiyou don't wanna help because i pressed enter? great, piss off01:51
daftykinscalm down there little buddy, we have language rules :)01:51
daftykins!language | mekhami01:52
ubottumekhami: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList01:52
mekhamithere should be rules against being an arrogant prick01:52
daftykinsi politely asked you press enter less, there's no need for getting upset now01:52
mekhamithis is the only chan i've ever been in with such an inane guideline01:53
mekhamii got a message from your bot earlier saying i was flooding and should press enter less. seriously, what is the matter with you people.01:53
daftykinsfight the rules - you're gonna have a bad time01:53
mekhamithe problem is01:54
mekhamiyou think anybody gives a damn about rules on your irc chan. they don't. it's so incredibly insignificant. they only exist to stroke some nerd's ego01:55
Ben64mekhami: there are 1732 people currently in this room, rules are a necessity. if you don't like them you don't have to be here01:55
daftykinsmekhami: it's not my channel, i'm a volunteer :) now look at it this way, you look like an angry teenager urinating against the tide trying to argue this :)01:55
mekhamiyeah, reasonable, intelligent rules are a necessity.01:55
daftykinsand everyone else copes with them just fine :D01:56
mekhamimoronic rules like 'don't press enter a lot' serve only to make you look as archaic as the rest of the world sees you.01:56
daftykinsyou see, a mature person would've just done it01:57
mekhamino, a sheep would've just done it.01:57
mekhamithere's no maturity in blindly following guidelines in whatever setting you may appear to be in.01:58
daftykinsi wonder just who it is you think you're rebelling against 0o01:58
mekhamiI don't feel like I'm rebelling against anyone.01:58
mekhamiI'm pointing out stupidity where I see it.01:58
mekhamiI consider that a moral obligation01:58
daftykinsas am i :)01:58
Ben64mekhami: please point it out in #ubuntu-ops then01:58
daftykinsshame on you for not being polite especially after already receiving answers.01:59
mekhamioh no, i've been shamed upon.01:59
mekhamiwhy don't you adjust your expectations?01:59
daftykinsbecause those that deserve help should abide by rules :)02:00
daftykinsnow i shall entertain no more, as you are clearly akin to a troll02:00
Ben64mekhami: please stick to support in this channel. if you want to discuss the rules, do so in #ubuntu-ops ... if you want to chat about non-support related things, please do so in #ubuntu-offtopic02:00

daftykinslots of programs at once taxing it02:11
unitypunkdaftykins: how can i figure out whats causing such high loads?02:12
daftykinsall a 1 on the load average means is that in the last x minutes, 1 process was waiting for resources02:12

daftykinsthat's never gonna work because permissions 0o02:55
ridehdone it before in past windows/ubuntu..02:55
ridehwhat has changed with perms that would prevent?02:55
daftykinsi don't know, but i wouldn't even try that02:55
daftykinsi'd maybe mount it as a subfolder... *maybe* but the standard is /media/mountpoint02:55

specfreqhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID03:08
ridehwhere can i see output or flag a verbose mode for logging in to see exactly what is failing?03:08
daftykinsalternate doesn't exist anymore03:09
psusispecfreq, the alternate installer is no longer around... there is the server edition instead03:09
daftykins!mini03:09
ubottuThe Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.  The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD03:09
daftykinsspecfreq: also that ^03:09
psusithough you can still use the desktop installer, you just have to manually install mdadm for raid and configure the raid array yourself on the command line, then fire up the installer to install to it03:10
Kb52Ok found out after booting into windows that my USB Bluetooth Dongle is hardware defective. Have a TekRam TM-304 but cannot find whatever ubuntu wants to make it work, so no dice.03:10
Kb52<Kb52> The one that might work, because Ubuntu sees it ok, is hardware defective, it appears to work but does not. The Tekram which works fine in Windoze is not able to work in Linux. I guess nobody made a Linux driver for Tekram usb bluetooth dongle. So I am just dead in the water on figuring out how to do it. In lsusb it sees it as a Roper Class 1 Bluetooth Adapter.03:10

ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter03:39
Bashing-omrideh: the file /etc/fstab is where all the action takes place .. got to have an establsihed mount point, and the UUID must be correct . http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 <- bodhi.zazen -Understanding fstab03:39
ridehBashing-om, familiar with how that works, when i was loading via fstab without adding the vboxsf in modules it couldnt mount due to timing, then it was a matter of waiting for network communications to be active which was acocmplished with _netdev03:40
ridehBashing-om, so regarding where it's accomplishing the mount its more a matter of it just loading in the proper order, still not sure why any of this would prevent login03:41

veryrandomnickand no, i'm not trolling, i seriously got hacked, it's baffling04:32
Kb52daftykins are you here to kick us all out?04:32
daftykinsdon't be silly.04:33
veryrandomnicki kicked myself out of a channel last night04:33
daftykinsKb52: you keep asking about a topic nobody knows about, so you don't get replied to... it happens...04:33
veryrandomnickit was an accident though.04:33
Kb52Ok well finding an answer in IRC is basically a crap shoot, so I chose here where at this time there is anyone on here.04:34
daftykinsnah you're just asking about one of the least useful technologies in computers i think04:35
=== sleepypc is now known as `hypermist`
daftykinsi can count on one hand how many times i've used bluetooth in my life.04:35
Kb52Besides there are no wrong questions. I was doing IRC back in the 80s from dialup, so not much has changed really.04:35
daftykinswell there are based on the rules of this channel, but anyway this is off topic rambling04:36
daftykinsyou asked a question, nobody knew how to help, except the suggestion of buying another bluetooth adapter which i agree with - job done04:36
Kb52Ok well its quite flaky overall but does certain things.04:36
Kb52Well I dont agree so anyhow moving onto a different subject. I am looking to figure out xscreensaver and where to or how to remove and add the various screensavers. Is that off topic as well?04:38
daftykinssigh. i don't get why you idiots crawl out of the woodwork at this time04:39
Kb52Ok so what are you here to help with then?04:39
cfhowlettKb52, sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver*        also, less attitude = more help.04:39

daftykinsKb52: if i don't know the topics you're asking about, then i can't help - surprisingly enough04:44
daftykinsif you had a question on graphics hardware or driver issues then i'd be set - but shockingly enough we don't all know everything04:44
et09is there a tray "start menu" widget?04:44
et09especially, one with autogenerated listings for programs?04:44
et09for non-unity users04:44
Kb52Since Ubuntu does have bluetooth built into it, then asking for help with it is not off topic. Nobody said you know everything, for if you did then you would be a part of this channel.04:45
Kb52Instead you could be godlike.04:45
daftykinsKb52: *facepalm* i never claimed your bluetooth query was off topic.04:45
daftykinsanyway you've crossed over into insane territory for me now, i hope to never encounter you again.04:46
veryrandomnickis it possible that it's not working, daftykins because i had 2 monitors plugged in as opposed to one?04:46
et09what'd i come into04:46
daftykinsjust the usual idiots.04:46
Kb52Ok then why are you responding to a question you have no knowledge of whatsoever?04:46
veryrandomnickKb52 hush04:46
veryrandomnicki asked a real question04:46

cluelesspersonhttp://cluelessperson.com/slice/de6d4e/204:48
cluelesspersonI think it may be that stdin is that slow or something04:48

et09what'd you do04:49
cfhowlettcluelessperson, not really an ubuntu issue: #python.  Also, lose the profanity04:49
et09try changing your IP ;)04:49
cluelesspersoncfhowlett, If it's being run ON ubuntu, and the stdin pipe is slow, then actually it IS ubuntu04:50
cfhowlettcluelessperson, your programming in python.  this is ubuntu support.04:50
cluelesspersonet09, I can't change my ip, my isp sucks.04:50
cluelesspersoncfhowlett, It's a python script run from ubuntu.  Most likely the stdout/in pipe command in UBUNTU is what's being slow04:50
cluelesspersonthat's an ubuntu issue, stop being dense.04:51
cfhowlettright then.  /ignore deployed04:51
cluelesspersoncfhowlett, moron04:51
cluelesspersonthe syntax is   command | slice     That pipes the stdout from the command to the python script.04:51
cluelesspersonI don't know python to be that slow, and as I explicitly stated, I believe it to be an issue with stdin/out which IS of ubuntu/linux04:52
cluelesspersondon't be stupid04:52

veryrandomnick(maybe it will help)04:56
Kb52Ok that makes more sense, so if example I wanted Gnome player to play a movie and route audio to hdmi, which I do not know if gnome player has that option, then it can work on a per application basis.04:58

glitchddanielbrazilian, but did u turn swap on in the system itself?05:12
Kb52swap will not be used until physical ram is used to the swappiness level sort of. I think they need to look at system monitor to know if the system is in need to make it work. Load up a ton of applications and see if the same one you want to use swap is using it.05:12

veryrandomnickI am not sure what I should be looing out for06:04
[Saint]Whoever told you that might not have had a clue what they were saying. It's a trend.06:05
[Saint]Fire it up, hit the obvious install now icon...follow prompts.06:05
[Saint]It's really pretty simple.06:05
veryrandomnickI should install it from a restart, not from the ubuntu itself right06:06
[Saint]Doesn't matter.06:06
Kb52Well veryrandomnick. Has anything crashed yet or failed from the Live DVD that you intend to use on a daily basis? Mainly does all the hardware devices on your system, working? Granted the Live DVD is not going to run as fast.06:07
veryrandomnickyou sure? someone said in terms of security it's better the former, restarting06:07
veryrandomnickKb52 i have nothing to check for, really.06:07
[Saint]And, yes, I'm sure - it is perfectly fine to install direct from the LiveCD/DVD/USB06:08
[Saint]Were it not, one would posit it wouldn't be an option.06:08
=== thomas_ is now known as Guest27807
Kb52Well the live DVD is not storing anything long term other than in ram, so it all is gone once the installation completes and they system is restarted. The one key overall is not to interrupt the shutdown and that it does fully shutdown, which is just as important so Yes you really should boot the Live DVD at least 2 times, once as restart and once as shutdown to say that all is ok.06:10
jeffreylevesquei have a bash script called `bash_loader`.  I'd like this script to run at each ubuntu (14.04) bootup.  Do i simply create `/etc/init/my.conf` (does it have to be a conf file?), with https://bpaste.net/show/73983b56fe34?06:10

veryrandomnicki think i fucked my computer up06:15
veryrandomnickbecause i didn't let it shut down or something06:15
Kb52Well I would want to be sure ubuntu is shutting your system off and restarting without fail before I chose to install unless this were a repeat installation because of things not going just right. Also if your keeping windows, advise that windows is the primary MBR of the first drive. But that is or would be typical. how much space to offer ubuntu is based on how much you plan to install on it. Space can be resized later on but I would plan b06:15
Kb52ased on which OS you plan to mainly use.06:15
veryrandomnicknah it's fine06:16
[Saint]The easiest method rather than juggling the setup is to just make sure WIndows gets installed last.06:17
veryrandomnickKb52 i'm not sure if to keep windnows or not06:17
veryrandomnickcommon sense says, keep it, you will have a use for it06:17
veryrandomnickcommon sense also says; you don't know if that windows is vulnerable or not06:17
[Saint]there's virtual machines, though.06:17
veryrandomnickwhile checksums may tell you it's valid, do you really know that it is?06:17
[Saint]veryrandomnick: if you go too far down that rabbit hole, you won't come out - you hit "can you trust what the disk controller is telling you?" and implode and the world ends.06:18
veryrandomnick[Saint] i did just get hacked (3 days ago) (found out last night)06:18
veryrandomnickso I think being vigilant is important, and I'm a noob when it comes to these things06:18
veryrandomnickso while to you it may seem like I'm being overly paranoid, I don't actually know06:19
[Saint]yeah - I'm just trying to say there's a balance.06:19
[Saint]just don't be the lowest hanging fruit, which apparently you were.06:19
jeffreylevesqueveryrandomnick: i installed windows, partitioned the disk, then dualbooted with ubuntu, using GRUB (https://github.com/jeff1evesque/leque/#boot-sequence)06:20
veryrandomnickcan I partition the disk during an ubuntu installation?06:20
veryrandomnicki assume/hope the answer is yes06:20
sjoshiveryrandomnick: Yes06:20
Kb52Here lies the secret for those who might go back to the dark side.  Burn a bootable copy of Macrium Reflect. It has a simple tool, in it that will restore any windows installation, should you choose to abandon ubuntu. I say this because Grub (Boot Loader) is going to be installed to the existing windows and so you can revert back easily if you wanted to start over. Then windows 7 and beyond can resize your partitions should you want to start06:20
Kb52over thats the best way to go.06:20
linociscohi all06:21
Kb52Windows 8 will attempt to take over the first hard drives boot and will wipe out ubuntu so when wanting to dual boot ubuntu and windows your gonna be better off to have windows be the first partition(s) of the drive.06:23

Kb52Well it is part of Macrium Reflect which you would need to be installed to windows (is free software) and then you need to create a recovery media which is in the Tools. So when you then boot that restore cd, one of the options in the restore section is fix windows boot problems. It will allow you to remove ubuntu bootloader (grub) and restore the original windows boot easily so that you can start over.06:33

Kb52I chose NOT to use it, but what it actually does is simply partition the drive in a way to allow you to slice up the drive(s) into partitions. It basically is that it creates a very small partition and sub partitions under that. Advantage being you can rapidly divide up the free space, rather than having to move data around. In analogy to having to eat the whole cake instead of being able to slice it into managable chunks. If you never desire06:47

user_or do you have to do it after ?12:06
Fernandooohello ive installed 14.04 but it doesnt recognized my win partitions ....i ve googled but :(12:08
Ajacobssonuser_: afaik, ubuntu asks if you want to engage drive encryption during the installation process and since LVM acts as a sublayer under the file system and everything, you can't add it after completing installation.12:08
jtjhBluesKaj here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/tBv3HpS12:09

adacCould it be that ubuntu has problems with lenovo dockingstation and mini HDMI?12:10
=== CJKay1 is now known as CJKay`
Ajacobssonuser_: "(Ubuntu 12.10 has since introduced LVM support from the installation live CD.)" so all versions of ubuntu after 12.10 is supposed to prompt you during installation asking if you want to enable disk encryption.12:12
BluesKajjtjh, use the M key to unmute spdif12:13
user_Ajacobsson yes it does prompt but only for one hard drive.... I have 3 hard drives where I'd like to partition one drive as /home and one as /storage and one as / ... but have them all encrypted.12:13

United123wow12:33
oak49deadmund, it says   Value: 0 sectors   Normalized: 100   Threshold: 36   Worst: 100   Type: Pre-Fail   Updates: Online   Assessment: OK12:33
MonkeyDustSramelyor3301  ask in ##linux, as this is ubuntu support12:34
United123someone here can help me with ruby?12:34
deadmundoak49: Your disk is fine.  Those sectors are used when regular sectors go bad.  If none of them have been used, the disk is very healthy.12:34
deadmundoak49: I think you failed the test before because of some fluke if you're passing it now (maybe the test had never been ran or some bug occured when it did run leaving you with a "failed" status)12:35
oak49deadmund, so would it maybe give no bad sectors if I ran it again?12:37
deadmundoak49: Seems to me that if you have 0 reallocated sectors, you should have 0 bad sectors (but maybe the machine doesn't reallocate until at least n have gone bad or something?)12:38
deadmundcause every bad sector should cause a reallocation12:38
oak49deadmund, I re-ran the short test, again one bad sector12:39
oak49and again 0 count12:39
oak49anyway, it seems to be a good idea to backup frequently12:41
deadmundoak49: Weird.  Apparently sometimes the disk may not reallocate:   http://www.sj-vs.net/forcing-a-hard-disk-to-reallocate-bad-sectors/      I wouldn't be worried about it, but if you wanted to try to get someone with my experience to answer, that might not be a bad idea.12:41

jayjoI'm trying to retrieve data from an ftp server, but I'm ssh'd into a ubuntu box... can I do ftp through the command line? I only know of filezilla13:14

neldogzHi everyone. I am having trouble with NFS on Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit Server. I can get everything setup and hosts can mount the NFS shares but after rebooting NFS stops working even though it is running. A workaround to this is to restart NFS using: sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart after rebooting the server. Anyone run into this?13:22
jellowneldogz: have you checked you're running the same nfs client, server version ?13:22
neldogzjellow, yes same NFS client version 413:23
jellowneldogz: do you have any log output from the server, client?13:23
neldogzjellow, I noticed that upon restarting the NFS service ..the following error will come up for any computer that it cannot resolve: exportfs: Failed to resolve host1.office13:24
neldogzThe only way I am able to fix this is to bring that computer online and restart the service13:24
MonkeyDustneldogz  i guess you have to add nfs shares to /etc/fstab13:26
neldogzMonkeyDust, the NFS shares are indeed specified in the clients fstab13:26
CJKayHi all, I'm having some trouble configuring my network interface for IPv6. I'm getting "IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready" and it's preventing my servers from binding to the static IPv6 address, even though the interface  is working by the time I've logged in13:27
neldogzIt's almost like the NFS server will not serve shares to those clients after the server reboots if the clients are not online13:27
neldogzI guess I can try to share to a subnet within the export file and see if the same issue occurs13:27
TekkkzHello!13:29
baumTekkkz: hi13:29
TekkkzI have a problem: Im using two monitors, and if im playing a game (e.g. dota2) in fullscreen mode on monitor 1, my mouse can moved out of it to the second and then i i press there the game gets minimized, how to fix this?13:30

Foxtrot88Hi, good morning13:36
Tekkkzhm i dont want to install such a big change13:36
jayjoHmmm.. I'm using lftp now to access an ftp server, but do I have to access this 'interactive' rate?13:36
jayjoexcuse me... interactive mode13:36
jayjoI want to connect to the ftp server as a script13:36
Foxtrot88someone knows where can i find a ethernet simulator? I need it for a homework D:13:36
baumTekkkz: yep, i thought so13:36
jayjoand do this daily.. is lftp not the best way to do this?13:37
Tekkkzbaum, and in window mode the window is bigger than my screen cause the ubuntu task bar on the left13:37
Tekkkzso whats an better solution?13:37
jellowjayjo: look at lftp man file it is fully scriptable13:37
Foxtrot88or if exist some for Ubuntu?? D:13:37
baumTekkkz: write a script which hides the task-bar once you are playing?13:37
hateballTekkkz: A long shot, but someone in #steamlug might know about more about getting things to play nicely with Dota, altho I think most are not running Unity as their DE13:38
baumTekkkz: i'm sure there is a better solution though - i just didn't figure it out either13:38
Tekkkzhm i dont want to make such changes, isnt it possible to play in fullscreen without getting the mouse out with only installing some packages or whatever? but no deep changes13:39
baumhateball: well the DE shouldn't matter in this case, should it?13:39
Tekkkzwhat's DE?13:40
hateballbaum: well, WM then13:40
baumTekkkz: desktop enviroment13:40
hateballand Window Manager13:40
Tekkkzahh13:41
Tekkkzbut i want ot use unitty13:41
Tekkkzand it must be possible to stop mouse from mooving out13:41
baumhateball: oh, the window manager? thought it's X-server related13:41
hateballI don't really know how Unity works, I use KDE Plasma which lets me set rules to always keep windows on top etc13:43

ubottuceraik: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus15:01
cfhowlettceraik, tl:dr        clamAV and rootkithunter15:02
MonkeyDustceraik  a virus? exciting! if you find it, please tell us!15:02
ceraikcfhowlett, that's what I think, too. but I was strangely rejected by google when I wanted to do search, on grounds of bot suspicion15:02
cfhowlettceraik, wait, what???15:02
ceraikand it was fixed when I restarted my router15:03
cfhowlettceraik, ah.  router attacks are a thing ...15:03
ceraikcfhowlett, can you please tell me more? this 'thing' never happened to me before15:03
ceraikis my system in danger now?15:03
tos-1ceraik: dynamic ip address?15:03
cfhowlettceraik, probably not, but an open router does invite attack ... and even a router with default login/passwords is less than secure.15:04
tos-1ceraik: Google most probably rejected you because of your ip address; i suppose.15:04
Trudkohi guys I read that new Kubuntu will have relative nice power management thanks to new KDE. I am curious if  there is plan for such thing in unity too?15:04
BluesKajceraik, maybe just your router, but i even doubt that15:04
tos-1ceraik: Maybe you could just ask google. :D15:04
zasekif you know someone in the free hosting DNS?15:04
mcphailceraik: that just happens sometimes. Nothing to do with malware15:05
ceraikcfhowlett, it is not an open router, if it means without password. I have always had a password15:05
k1lceraik: why do you think you got malware installed?15:05
zasek*DDNS*15:05
ceraikk1l, I dont know what capabilities such an attack can have15:05
ceraikI never was exposed to one15:06
ceraikcfhowlett, how do you mean 'default' password?15:06
k1lceraik: that is just a google filter by iplocation when the ip range is reported to be an issue. it doesnt mean you are infected15:06
ceraikk1l, ip range, so not something particular to my router, but like a geographical group?15:07
OerHeksceraik, lots of routers are unpatched with the latest firmware, or have admin hardcoded. sounds like your router is vulnerabel too.15:08
ceraikOerHeks, back to my question, does it mean that my device can be compromised with such attacks?15:10
OerHeksceraik, you said it was.15:10
k1lceraik: please to contact google to get to know why you got that captcha thing.15:10
ceraikOerHeks, no I said I was trying to find out how I could know whether it was15:11
SchrodingersScatI would search for my router model and see if any of the recent vulnerabilities affected it15:11
ceraikit is unsettling when you know your router can be hijacked anytime, which makes you pass as a bot15:11
ceraikspecially it is unknown if your actual system can be affected15:12
OerHeksceraik, yes you did, as it stopped when you resetted your router.15:13

MonkeyDust!latest | helo here's why16:25
ubottuhelo here's why: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.16:25

mindless_chaosanytime you alter a file that rk hunter checks it will warn you as well.16:38
mindless_chaosI would be more concerned if it flagged a known rootkit16:38
ghhofstetterhello, how do I set an external microphone as the default on ubuntu 14.04?16:39
mindless_chaosIf you do not allow ssh to root, and have not set a password for root, it would be very hard for an attacker to set up a root kit, and for some kind of malware to install it without you knowing16:39
mindless_chaosunless you run infected software with sudo16:40
beachbuddahok, so how about this one - is it possible to delineate the output folder when I use ecryptfs-recover-private?16:42
mindless_chaosRKhunter doesnt do much for machines used for personal, non server. it always gives you warnings like crazy, and you are supposed to set it up to ignore files that will give you false warnings.16:42
iorasmindless_chaos, if I have not set a password for root, wouldn't it be easy for an attacker?16:42

Jordan_UTekkkz: "sudo apt-get remove foo" will remove the package "foo" and any *reverse dependencies* of that package. So if bar depends on foo and you "sudo apt-get remove foo", bar will be removed. If you instead "sudo apt-get remove bar" then only bar will be removed. Using the "purge" command is identical to the remove command except that any packages that are removed will also have their system wide configuration files ...17:42

OerHeksnn00, whatever OS, release upgrade can go wrong, unlikely, but it happens sometimes, make sure you have the newest iso on usb before you start.19:12
stacks88i found http://askubuntu.com/questions/498175/how-to-downgrade-php-from-5-5-9-to-5-4-in-ubuntu-14-04-installed-with-lamp which is good except19:12
zerowaitstatestacks88: you want to compile it manually. php packaged may not have been compiled with the stuff you need19:12
zerowaitstatestacks88: I know it sucks19:12
stacks88hm ok i guess19:12
zerowaitstatestacks88: I hate compiling php. with a passion19:13
Maimsterstacks88: Ahh, web programming. Something I know very little about man.19:13

LugalWell, I can boot this ubuntu from the GRUB that is on /dev/sda,    but I also want be able to boot it from a grub on itself^^21:14
NightwalkerkgWill any Ubuntu GNOME ship with 3.16 ?21:14
OerHeksLugal, one partition? ubuntu makes more than one partition, when installing.21:14
k1lNightwalkerkg: the ubuntu and gnome release dates dont match. so it will be not standard in 15.0421:15
Lugalnope, I used the manual option and made only one for root21:15
NightwalkerkgSo i'll probably have to wait for 16.x version. :P21:15

k1l@ the user who left anyway :/21:17
Lugallets say for example   sdb1= /   and sdb2= /boot   ? like this?21:17

Lugalis the /boot partition = MBR? or where is MBR? and where is GRUB?21:41
MonkeyDustbrayy90820  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156734521:42
k1lno its not mbr. mbr is the really first part of a disk. that got nothing to do with partitions21:42
aaasso i put custom entries in /etc/crontab with single commands NOT calls to external scripts, and these commands, unlike crontab -e, don't seem to run.  Am I missing something here? Is this the expected behavior?21:42
Ben64Lugal: why are you messing with it at all? let ubuntu handle partitioning and stuff, you likely do not even need a /boot21:42
Lugallol, before I got told that I need a /boot21:43
Ben64Lugal: no you weren't21:43
Lugalmy problem is that Grub doesnt get intsalled in the MBR21:43

atlasloewenherzmhhh your 100% right but i wonder why it gets here ( in this situation )22:49
zerowaitstatewhat is the status of those PID's?22:50
zerowaitstateatlasloewenherz: once a file is deleted, the application holding the file descriptor must close the descriptor in order for the storage to actually be released to the filesystem22:53
zerowaitstateatlasloewenherz: it is either a bug or a hung process22:53

zerowaitstatethe reason those files do not show up in du is because they have been "unlinked" i.e., they are no longer attached to a directory, but the corresponding data blocks haven't been released because the process still has a file descriptor open on the file22:59
