[00:00] Lui_:yw [00:01] zerowaitstate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10835841/ [00:01] godd: Thanks for confirming that, can't argue with you sorry [00:01] anyway I think you have to mount it [00:01] godd: okay, it is partitioned, but evidently not formatted [00:01] oh nvm [00:02] godd: therefore, you must format it [00:02] zerowaitstate: how do i format? And thank you for helping. [00:02] godd: which filesystem do you want to use? [00:03] Ty, Michael. :) [00:03] zerowaitstate: ntfs I think is the most common, am i correct? i will be using the drive to store mp3 files. [00:04] if you want to access files under windows, ntfs or fat32 [00:04] godd: an easy way, if you are using ubuntu desktop, is to go to the "disks" utility from the unity menu. hit your windows key then type "disks" and click the application that pops up [00:04] zerowaitstate: I did that but my drive doesn't show up there [00:05] godd: try "gksudo gnome-disks" from the command line and tell me if it shows up [00:07] godd: if that doesn't work, you can use "sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1" from the command line to create the filesystem [00:07] zerowaitstate: it isn't there, I'm trying the second command now. [00:08] zerowaitstate: it's "writing inode tables" [00:08] godd: yup [00:09] godd: oh wait, you wanted ntfs didn't you [00:10] zerowaitstate: whatever will be compatible with ubuntu and windows both will work [00:10] godd: you would do the same thing, only it would be "sudo mkntfs /dev/sdb1" instead [00:10] zerowaitstate: thanks! [00:11] godd: after the filesystem is created you'll need to mount it to access it. I would expect ubuntu to automount a usb volume once it's formatted, but if it doesn't you can mount it manually by creating a directory such as /mnt/externaldrive and then doing "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /mnt/externaldrive" [00:13] godd: remember, though, that with external drives, just like on windows, you have to "safely remove" them. you do this in ubuntu either via the umount command on mounted directory, or by clicking the eject icon to the right of the drive in the file manager [00:13] godd: unmounting flushes changes to the disk and ensures no processes have open files on the disk [00:14] zerowaitstate: I'll remember that!

[01:41] hiexpo i did a figlet logged in as root and when i logged in as an admin i dont see the changes [01:42] struhevol: fyi, .bashrc is usually user specific... [01:42] i am still new to this [01:42] thank you [01:42] this is my 3rd using linux [01:42] 3rd day [01:42] learning basic commands [01:43] i just wanted to know if i make changes to bashrc logged in as root why the admin does not see the changes [01:44] struhevol: you have to logout/back in again (well just end bash) to have the changes re-read [01:44] its user specific how can i add a user to be able to changes to the bashrc [01:44] Copy Paste is not working on my computer. It is happening in several applications. Is there a fix for this? [01:44] netlar: how are you copying / pasting? === jplank is now known as Kapowza [01:44] Just to add, it sometimes works, this problem is happening randomly [01:45] netlar: after you copy a text, do you close the application wich you copied it¿ [01:45] Blue1: with the menu or shortcuts [01:45] xangua: nope [01:45] ?? i am sorry i have to what logout of the adim log into root and then make bash to re-read ?? i am lost so confused [01:45] I will reboot and it will be fixed for awhile [01:45] netlar: if you close the app after copying, it flushes the buffer [01:46] sounds like ram [01:46] Blue1: nope [01:46] netlar: if yes, try to install a clipboard manager, like: diodon [01:46] struhevol: just end the terminal session, and restart it. no need to be root for that. [01:46] xangua: I do have diodon installed [01:46] i have a question. i followed the steps here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/577941/installing-the-driver-for-tp-link-tl-wn727n-on-ubuntu-14-04 to install my wifi. At the end of the steps, it says that after a kernel upgrade, it must be recompiled and it lists 5 commands to be entered into the terminal. is there any way to put these into a single file that i can put on the desktop and just double click instead of having to enter tho [01:46] i did [01:46] netlar: Is not the file in question a dot file .bashrc ? .. to see that file one has to unhide it .. as the (.) makes it a hidden file . [01:47] i exit out of the terminal [01:47] i feel like this is a pretty simple thing to do, but im slightly ubuntu-illiterate [01:47] and opened a new terminal still no changes [01:47] Bashing-om: this affects any copy pasting I do [01:47] i know i am doing something wrong i just dont understand for some reason sorry i am trying to figure this out its complicated atm guys [01:47] Plus when I highlight a word, it will unhighlight it [01:47] struhevol: ^^ sorry netlar .. meant that for other . [01:48] Kapowza, yes you can, or make an alias with all the commands in a string [01:48] This problem appears to be system wide [01:48] netlar if you are tying to copy or paste into a terminal window you need to do ctrl+shft [01:48] I was not having this issue with Ubuntu 14.04 until very recently [01:49] Blue1: I know, was not even trying copy paste in terminal, just in the applications [01:49] what the google quire for that bashrc for admin to be able to see the changes [01:50] netlar: let's try something easy -- copy and paste this text. ctrl+a highlight's all the text -- ctrl+c to copy, then ctrl+v to paste [01:50] ObrienDave - thanks. is there a site that might guide me through the steps? or is there a term i should be Googling to find out how? [01:50] Blue1: it will not even let me highligth the text [01:51] Blue1: I highlight the text than it blinks off the text [01:52] Kapowza, for an alias, edit .bash_aliases with any txt editor, reopen terminal and run the command [01:52] Something appears to be corrupted, but I have no idea how to fix it [01:52] Kapowza, separate commands with && so it stops on errors [01:53] struhevol: if you are trying to make chanages to admins .bashrc then you need to login as root the cd /root then make changes as appropriate [01:53] anyone good at using toolchains, Please take a look at this and tell me what I did wrong: its the paste from a failed compile: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10836245/ ?? I might be in wrong channel but I have tried everywhere else.. I just thought I would try here too. [01:53] where do i find the .bash_aliases file [01:53] Kapowza, your home directory, you might have to enable "show hidden files" [01:54] struhevol: .bashrc is just a text file. If you made changes, - and saved that file - then it is changed ... note the (.) makes the file a hidden file . [01:54] Kapowza, ^^^ [01:54] i know its a text file [01:54] Kapowza: ~/home/.bashrc_aliases [01:54] in the text file i did figlet anything [01:55] Kapowza: http://pkill-9.com/enabling-bash_aliases/ [01:57] Think I found the issue [01:58] netlar: what did you find? [01:58] Only appears to happen when I open good chrome [01:58] Google chrome that is [01:59] yeah not menu shortcuts there must use ctrl+c and ctrl+v [01:59] When I close Chrome , the problem does not exist [01:59] Blue1: huh? [01:59] so there is no way for the admin to see the changes in bashrc unless i am logged in as root is that correct [01:59] netlar: tht is weird [01:59] Blue1: must be some kind of conflict , not sure [02:00] struhevol: You edited the .bachrc file as 'root'; who owns the file now ? -> ls -al .bashrc >> -rw-r--r-- 1 sysop sysop 3749 Aug 4 2014 .bashrc // Where my user name is sysop. [02:00] struhevol_: partily correct -- you have to be logged in as root, but the changes must be made to .bashrc in /root too [02:00] netlar: maybe an addon, like pushbullet¿ that syncs with your android clipboard [02:01] xangua: Yes I do have pushbullet on chrome [02:01] struhevol_: so su - then cd /root -- make your changes [02:02] struhevol_: note the changes you make to root, do NOT carry over to any other user. [02:03] bash: -rw-r--r--: Permission denied [02:03] xangua: Yep, that was it, I took it off of Chrome , no more problem [02:03] thats what i got [02:03] struhevol_: private message ok? [02:04] i did this as root ls -al .bashrc >> -rw-r--r-- 1 [02:04] struhevol_, why are you asking same ? in kali what distro are you useing? [02:04] and got this [02:04] bash: -rw-r--r--: Permission denied [02:05] struhevol_, use su he said [02:07] does the distro matters hiexpo [02:07] struhevol_: http://pkill-9.com/the-difference-between-su-and-su/ [02:07] stackfault, yes [02:07] i figure the kali channel might know more [02:07] i am using ubuntu [02:07] struhevol_: well then -- off you go [02:08] thank you so much for the path [02:10] omg what did i get my self into [02:10] why is it so bad to run as root any ??

[02:16] !root | struhevol_ [02:16] struhevol_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password.

[02:20] bulka: what browser are you using and _exactly_ what message is it giving you. It may not seem like it but "webpage is not available" is ambiguous. [02:22] struhevol_: -> sudo ls -al /root/.bashrc >> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3106 Oct 27 2012 /root/.bashrc . As you can see, 'root' is the owner .

[02:23] xangua: My bad, but thank you [02:23] bulka: In firefox "unable to connect" means it cannot access a web server at that ip:port Either there isn't a web server listening there, or there is a firewall / network config problem. bulka can you test with a browser on the server directly? [02:24] bulka: Can you see your web server process running on the server using ps -e ??

What is your network like? [02:27] deadmund: didn't get, the internet connection I am using? [02:27] bulka: Do you have a router? (like a typical home setup) [02:29] deadmund: yes I do have === NiTeMaRe is now known as NiTe [02:30] deadmund: but I can access same application running on different ubuntu server on my browser, so I believe there is something wrong with my ubuntu server [02:30] something in server is blocking me to access application [02:31] bulka: You're going to have to explain your setup in more detail. But I'm guessing you need to do port forwarding on your router (you need to forward port 8069 to the ip address of your server & port 8069 [02:31] bulka: I don't know what you mean by "application" It seems to me there is the browser (firefox / chrome) and the server (the web server). There is no applicaiton. === Guegs is now known as Guegs[MTL] [02:35] deadmund: yes you are right, I mean there is another web server which I can access on my browser ( so it doesn't seem issue with port forwarding or with my router). if result of iptables -L can tell something? http://pastebin.com/tN2uZnzw [02:36] deadmund: I mean I am missing some configuration on webserver [02:36] it may be firewall in ubuntu server [02:36] bulka: Webserver number 1 (is working) attached to ip1:8069 Webserver number 2 (is not working) attached to ?:?

[02:40] deadmund: well the thing is webserver number 1 is running on 8069 but not accessible from outside (no idea why ? may be port is closed?) webserver 2 is nginx that I have setup for reverse proxy , following this post https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/install-odoo-formerly-openerp-with-nginx-on-an-ubuntu-vps/ [02:41] deadmund: yes they are on same machine 1st is listening on 0.0.0.0:8069 [02:41] 2nd may be on port 80? (nginx) [02:42] bulka: I'm not sure what the problem is if it isn't a network config issue. [02:42] bulka: Maybe your ISP is blocking non standard ports (8069 is def non-standard) [02:42] but 80 is very standard [02:43] bulka: did you forward a a port oin your router? [02:43] deadmund: I am sure about ISP , it is not blocking as I have already accessed on many other ports including 8069 [02:43] bulka: Then I have no idea.

[05:20] you do realie ie is a windows program right [05:20] that isnt even being worked on anymore, ms abandoned it [05:20] !browser | TheTofu pick one [05:20] TheTofu pick one: Some of the Web Browsers in Ubuntu's repositories include: Firefox (XUL, Gecko), Rekonq (KDE, WebKit), Konqueror (KDE, KHTML/WebKit), Chromium (GTK+, WebKit), Epiphany(GTK+, WebKit), Arora (Qt/KDE, WebKit), Midori (GTK+, WebKit), w3m (terminal-based), links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !manpage), edbrowse (terminal-based). Along with many others. [05:20] if you really need to use internet explorer you can run a virtual machine or maybe wine. [05:20] i dont see the obsession with ie [05:22] You could potentially need to develop something that needs to support internet explorer I guess. I have never met anyone who prefers IE. [05:23] if you're developing for windows/ms you're prob not using linux [05:25] I see. I'll try and make do. I'm already struggling to carry on with my aspirations to be a graphic designer without paint.

(just past grub) what in the world is going wrong for me? perhaps i’ve messed [06:07] something in the bios?

I managed to install a Ubuntu-based OS, but my BayTrail tablet only has 32bit uEFI firmware, and I think the installer installed 64 bit grub... and it's not booting... I say Ubuntu-based because it's "Elementary OS: Freya" that's based on 14.04. I did ask in their channel but no one is responding. [06:22] All I'm asking for help with is Grub [06:22] so it can boot [06:24] Could someone tell me what pkg to install once I'm chrooted into my install? [06:25] Anyone? [06:27] shiggitay, This is a problem if 32-bit UEFI is the only way your computer can boot, e.g. if you have a modern Intel Atom based laptop. In this case, you will need a complicated work-around. [06:27] shiggitay, found that here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [06:27] THanks [06:27] shiggitay, not familiar with the intricacies of 32-bit vs 64-bit grub so can't help much aside from pointing you at that or other basic grub re-install stuff [06:28] thanks :) [06:28] would I need to be chrooted ? [06:29] wafflejock, [06:29] np with regard to the grub-install instructions I've seen they typical start with boot from live cd setup some chroot but yeah really not good for the uefi stuff I know an Eric in here knows it well but don't think he's around now [06:29] shiggitay, ^ [06:30] Eric__, [06:30] *slap* lol [06:30] yeah think he typically goes by ^Eric^ or some such but have seen him guide some people through all the UEFI debugging [06:31] heh === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` === andrex is now known as andrex|off [06:40] wafflejock: the solution was to plug keyboard into usb3 === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [06:40] now i’m having trouble where the installer doesn’t have the files to make a crytpo fs. it had them the first time i ran thru the installer. what happened? did the installer delete files off itself? === ubik is now known as Guest17894 [06:41] i guess i need to reflash the usb-key. wtf… === x44x45x41x4E is now known as [Away]x44x45x41x [06:45] Anyone here have experiance with Plex through Squid with outside access?

Plex works great on my LAN, but I am unable to access my server from the outside. Plex server has no problem reaching the internet to pull data for media. Can ping out the whole nine yards. I just cant access from outside. [06:45] I have the following rules in my iptables. http://pastebin.com/mFKa7DMz Still not able to reach the plex server from outside my LAN. Thoughts anyone?

It’s bad because I’m doing this in a docker image to automate this process. [07:36] I wonder how this fails now and worked yesterday. [07:36] foofoobar, yeah honestly no idea, I've never seen that from the main repos [07:36] foofoobar, it makes some sense when things are deprecated and fall from archive or some PPA but not the main repos [07:37] wafflejock: I have an idea. Docker uses caching for commands, maybe the apt-get update is cached [07:37] foofoobar, don't really do python myself though it's one of the few big languages I've never dabbled in [07:39] wafflejock: I think it was a docker related problem, sorry for taking your time. [07:39] ah no worries [07:39] the „apt-get update“ was cached while the „apt-get install“ was not. === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [07:55] somehow postgresql is running as the postfix user....

[08:29] So, one of our servers got compromised [08:29] And I decided to come here and try and brainstorm with people what might have happened [08:29] impossible to tell really, format, reinstall, pay more attention to security [08:29] I got the image of the VM and I've found an admin112 account with uid 0 and gid 0 in /etc/passwd [08:29] Na na, hold on mate [08:29] The server is gone [08:29] I'm trying to understand the attack vector [08:30] I wonder has anyone upgraded to Vivid RC and like me cannot switch to the correct keyboard layout any more?

[08:32] danfruehauf: so format... reinstall... pay more attention to security... [08:32] is it possible to have light in mousepad [08:32] (text editor) [08:32] light? [08:32] what do you mean?

[08:34] but the logs can't be trusted, so the whole thing is worthless [08:34] Now I'm not going to trust that log, but I'm fully patched (usually) and I suspect the cloud provider is more slack than me [08:34] danfruehauf: maybe the host is compromised [08:34] Have you checked that? [08:34] TheNumb, The hypervisor you mean? [08:34] TheNumb,:/ [08:34] yes [08:34] Yeah, I have no control of the hypervisor [08:34] It's running in a different university by different people [08:35] They just told me "your host is compromised", here is the VM dump [08:35] I suspected it's a bit bigger than that [08:35] get a better host [08:35] Snak3: maybe it only supports *some* languages. [08:35] And I think I can alert them about it, no? [08:35] Ben64, I'm working also on that, we're .edu :) [08:35] i don't really see how speculation is on topic here though [08:35] danfruehauf: which host btw?

[11:21] chezzo_: yes [11:21] I should change innodb_buffer_pool_size to a higher number? [11:21] cfhowlett: yes [11:22] why has seahorse changed with 14.04.? strange things happening. keyfiles appear with older names, gnupg key creation is done invisibly (no window pops up).. [11:22] Jeroen1: it can't allocate the memory, so the buffer is likely too big. And that' smy last word on this as it really belogs in #mysql and I'm AFK now [11:22] Farioko, force MBR is you must [11:23] is there a way to get nomodeset into the grub boot line before a gnome LiveCD starts? [11:23] cfhowlett: how? [11:23] mijkoo: changed from 12.04 version 3.2 to 14.04 version 3.10 [11:23] Thesaurus, you can invoke grub during the gnome boot up and pass the nomodeset options === Rory_ is now known as Rory [11:24] pageup pagedown?

[12:23] which log svetlana ? [12:24] Jeroen1: mysql's log.

[12:28] nalum Synaptic Package Manager ? and you can't check "source code" ? [12:28] Look [12:28] try investigate you memory usage. [12:28] svetlana: previous line in error log is about being unable to allocate memory for innodb buffer. It's a my.cnf or memory issue and he's been told to go to #m,ysql already [12:28] oh! missed that one. sorry. [12:28] http://pastebin.com/BMrb3Xp0 [12:28] Top returns: [12:29] using synaptic package manager and opening settings -> repositories opens the Software & Updates app. I can uncheck Source Code and then check it again but it has the - rather than the checkmark [12:31] It looks like I'm able to install the keptback package using synaptic though, so I'm doing that. Will see if it fixes the issue [12:32] loa, any Idea what I could od? [12:33] nalum i just installed it without issue [12:35] Jeroen1: your innodb_buffers are set too high for the memory you have.

[13:11] hey is Ubuntu a good start for Windows switchers? [13:12] john_doe_jr: iirc, the only difference is that system users have a uid below 1000. [13:13] john_doe_jr: system users are generally intended for daemons and the like, and default to no login shell. do you mean instead users with administrative privileges? [13:13] sipior: yes [13:13] hey is Ubuntu a good start for Windows switchers?

I'm having some trouble with Ubuntu server locking up during boot; is there a way (from grub) I can tell it to skip loading networking so I can get in and fix stuff? Booting into single user doesn't work and stops at the same point [13:42] you could possibly boot a live cd or a rescue cd and mount the system to fix it [13:44] cn28h: thanks; I'll give that a go with a USB key - neither machine has a CD drive in it [13:44] btw i finally got it to work, somewhat. using the desktop image worked. So i can install ubuntu desktop but not ubuntu server... thats a bit stupid. Why do i need 2 images anyways, is there a netinstall image that has all the drivers and hardware support of the desktop image but allows me to install ubuntu server? [13:44] sure, yeah same idea [13:44] ilithium: If you're familiar with single user mode, replace the word "single" with "init=/bin/bash" and boot ..... the machine won't attempt to start any services [13:44] if you can bring the system up and mount it, then you can chroot into it [13:45] Yes of course [13:45] No idea what's making it spaz out: iLO now says it's got as far as:" Waiting for state" w/ "wait-for-state stop/waiting" which makes no sense to me [13:48] ilithium: Have a read over this -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/508029/ubuntu-14-04-stuck-on-shutdown [13:51] Hi guys, I have some trouble with my buntu server 12.04. I configure a tail file under /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ to add an additional nameserver as bind9 is running locally. Then I tried to ping the domain from the bind server and doesn't respond. I check the dns trace and only the first nameserver configured in etc/resolv.conf is checked. Hence not answer for my ping request. How do I handle this case? I would like to setup mul [13:51] tiple nameservers in my resolv.conf? [13:52] Hi guys, I have some trouble with my buntu server 12.04. I configure a tail file under /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ to add an additional nameserver as bind9 is running locally. Then I tried to ping the domain from the bind server and doesn't respond. Only the first nameserver configured in etc/resolv.conf is checked. How do I handle this case? [13:53] chele: /join #bind and/or /join #dns [13:53] chele: put your nameserver that is local ahead of the other nameservers - potentially in the head file [13:53] hkrrsx: that's a resolvconf question, not a bind question [13:53] it's still valid here [13:53] * hkrrsx digresses [13:54] Hi [13:54] I need help on terminator terminal [13:55] I try to work with : zsh, alias, terminator, custom panel [13:56] all it's ok .. but .. when I play with custom command with alias terminator says "zsh:1: command not found:" [13:56] teward, after doing this resolves what I expect from the local dns but not from the upper dns which is received from dhcp. [13:57] chele: ping requests aren't dns requests, based on your initial question, what exactly are you expecting to happen? [13:58] I expect the ping request to work based on domain names where dns requests are involved. === quackgyver is now known as fawksmulder [13:58] chele: so you provide `ping some.domain.tld` and you are not getting DNS requests that you're expecting? [14:00] teward, I am not getting dns requests to the correct server. Therefore not correct dns answer. [14:00] chele: are you trying to get information that your bind9 server is authoritative for and that also another domain is authoritative for? [14:02] teward, I am trying to get information for which bind9 is not authoritative for. The second nameserver configured is authoritative for this information I am trying to get. When I ask for info for which bind9 is authoritative for then I get correct info. [14:03] So I cannot have to dns name servers in my resolv.conf as only works the first one on the file. [14:03] two* [14:03] hello erevybody [14:04] everybody! [14:06] chele: you can have two nameservers, but if you ask the first one and it comes back with NXDOMAIN or similar, your machine is going to believe it and assume that name doesn't exist. If you want to use nameserver A for some queiries, and nameserver B for some others, I suggest running a local DNS server and using some policy (like bind forwarders directives). [14:07] Pumpkin-_, bind9 is what I am using but now as you said and as it seemed to me, I have to configure bind to forward. === jbernal0019 is now known as jbernal [14:13] nobody ? [14:18] sam[cOe]: Its hard to troubleshoot when you haven't told us what commands you are actually typing. === CJKay` is now known as CJKay [14:26] I think I found a problem with how dash handles something, that other shells seem to get right. Would anyone mind verifying? [14:26] clear [14:28] Hello, is there a way to access an already mounted filesystem (e.g. /media/data) on the host system from an ubuntu lxc container? [14:30] I think dash mishandles the following case: "tail -f $somefile | $some_nonexistant_program" [14:30] Other shells will correctly report: "$some_nonexistant_program: command not found" [14:30] Dash will leave 'tail' hanging in an unkillable (from that shell) state. [14:31] ^C, ^Z, ^\, etc will not kill tail, you have to do it from another shell [14:31] Thus far the other shells I've tested (real bash, zsh, /bin/sh, etc.) handle that case correctly. [14:36] hello, what is the disadvantage ( or lost advantage) of running 32-bit OS on an 64-bit machine with sufficient ram? [14:37] dont run 32bit OS if that hardware can use 64bit [14:37] Pici, terminator sucks .. ^^^ [14:38] k1l: why? :p [14:38] k1l, yes [14:38] that is my query, too [14:38] mijkoo: 64bit software would perform a bit better and in most cases there is nothing against using 64 bit [14:38] the question should rather be: why use 32 bit software? [14:39] dawnson, so it makes the machine underperform? [14:39] mijkoo: yes [14:40] mijkoo: it might. you probably wont notice. I am not sure how linux handles RAM under 32 bit but i guess there should be no limitation [14:40] im just curious why you would want to use 32 bit software [14:41] oh, ok, so no detectable difference..like not faster, more things to do together.. [14:41] sse3 and ssse3 are 64bit insructions? [14:42] or can be used in 32bit code too? [14:42] i think linux does support PAE as well, so 4+GB RAM should not be a problem there. But still the question is why you want to use 32bit software on 64 bit hardware [14:42] loa: both are 32bit afaik [14:43] ssse3 is from 2006 anyways :D [14:43] mijkoo: its not gaining that much speed because we still have not 64bit only code. so everything is still made working on 32bit too. but 64bit can adress more registers and has more bandwith on the connection to the ram. [14:44] dawnson, it was introduced in xeons and intel core 2 [14:44] and atoms [14:44] and uefi is going to be a huge 64bit OS boost since its really problematic on some hardware to start 32bit OS with that [14:44] dunno. [14:44] and there are 32 bit atoms and core 2 CPUs [14:44] ok. [14:44] but i dont know if they support ssse3 [14:44] k1l: yes, but efi is not 64 bit only :D [14:44] some small (old) atoms are the reason why ubuntu still gives out 32bit isos for desktop. === scuba323 is now known as scuba323|afk [14:45] dawnson: its not, but manufacturers handle it like that since windows prefers 64bit too [14:45] so as conclusion: dont install 32bit OS. [14:45] yes, thats why i keep asking why he _wants_ to run a 32 bit OS [14:46] i am all for 64 bit when it makes sense but maybe he has a valid reason [14:48] no, I was just trying to know..thank you for all your hints.

Where the problem might be? [16:46] MasterGberry: there is, but I wouldn't recommend it [16:46] MasterGberry: really, check if the mysql user exists (with that grep command I gave you. If it outputs matches, the user exists. If not: create it) [16:46] MasterGberry: then your packages should work as well. Maybe these unofficial packages forgot to do that for you (check if user exists, if not: create it) [16:47] MasterGberry: as soon as you have that user, the apt-get -f install should run the initial configuration for you, and then you should be able to use mysql [16:49] SchrodingersScat: is there any other options than wine to install a game?

For example Nvidia drivers after the installation? [18:27] There were no drives to install [18:28] uugeepilvi, it gets stuck always at the purple screen? [18:29] EriC^^ the problem is not that I'd like to delete big files. I see different amounts of free space displayed at different parts of the system. [18:29] After I wrote nomodeset and boot it gets stuck on screen where reads following: "Booting a command list, Loading Linux 3.16.0-34-generic..., Loading initial ramdisk... [18:30] raimex: type du -s /home && du -sb /home [18:31] i doubt the difference is that big though [18:33] EriC^^ this one: paste.ubuntu.com/10840106/ [18:34] If I have a /dev/md10 instead of something like /dev/sda does that mean that the hard drive is a SSD/ [18:34] ?* [18:34] raimex: ok so you're saying if you right click properties in nautilus it says free space something different than what df says? [18:34] mjollnerd1: /dev/md* is for raid [18:35] so it's raid 10? [18:35] neldogz, any ideas? [18:35] mjollnerd1: it could be anything: cat /proc/mdstat [18:36] yes, I right click on home folder tab, and get 11gb used, ~5gb free. when I select the matching disk partition in disk utility, it shows 6gb of 26gb free. and the partition is 26gb. [18:38] raimex: how did you formatted that partition? === tcpman is now known as Guest14604 [18:39] EriC^^ I right clicked on the computer tab now, and it shows almost the same as the partition; ~20gb used, ~5gb free. and total capacity also ~26gb. not exactly the same, but close by 1gb [18:39] the free space, I mean [18:40] raimex, if it could show the exact sizes in bytes, you would see. === ubuntu is now known as Guest83880 [18:41] hi! anyone using ubuntu on a mac? I just installed an ubuntu un my mac and it worked like a charm, no troubles and now my efi doesn't recognize it at boot :S any ideas? [18:41] raimex try "df -B1 " [18:41] OerHeks, ok, the 'computer' folder and partition show close values. but why would home folder and computer folder have 10gb difference in used space? [18:42] the programs? [18:44] OerHeks, I see 1gb space used by 'tmpfs'..I guess temporary files? [18:44] raimex: du /home | sort -n should show you the files and sizes [18:44] check the last 10 to see if it makes sense [18:44] raimex, the computer folder contains a lot, /boot/ and /var/log/ and such [18:45] OerHeks , can you help me [18:45] OerHeks, ok [18:47] neldogz says to install by terminal [18:47] ifancho, just ask your question, if someone knows the anser he/she will respond [18:47] *answer [18:47] i did nobody answer [18:48] i was updating my ubunto i left the pc. when i comeback the pc was of. i tried to boot and i got "udevadm trigger is not permited .... " [18:48] i`m on live usb now i got some solution but i have dual boot and i was thinking if i do it not to mess up the dual boot [18:48] !recovery [18:48] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [18:48] hold shift @ boot etc [18:48] cant load id [18:49] dont know why [18:49] EriC^^ the last ten are all home folder files..but it seems at least clear that computer folder is the one to refer to when checking total used/free space. and it is about close to the one that the partition shows..so it should be ok.. [18:50] to creat a usb image on a pen is better unetbootin? or anothers better? [18:50] i`m booting , can chose recovery but its not loading [18:50] i can boot in windows too [18:52] raimex: ok, great === Tsunami is now known as Guest20366 [18:53] EriC^^ thank you for your help! [18:54] OerHeks, thank you! [18:54] raimex: no problem [18:55] hi to all [18:56] ifancho, not loading .. you should get the commandprompt [18:56] can someone tell me how to remove unused ppa from the system. I dont know what ppa I use but uninstaled programs and I want to clean the system [18:56] !ppapurge [18:56] To 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [18:57] !ppapurge [18:57] * genii slides OerHeks helper snacks [18:57] !ppa-purge [18:57] * OerHeks shares with EriC^^ [18:57] but I have programs like latest inkscape and dont want to delete ppa for it [18:57] :D [18:58] darko: read the page [18:58] darko, then go into softwarecenter > edit > sources, and disable it there [18:58] darko: You use the ppa pruging command with repository name of the ppa you want gone. the ones you want to leave, don't run the ppa purge on those [18:58] but that could be a start of an issue in the future. [18:59] http://www.gofundme.com/s7wfms?pc=fb_cr_g i'm going to install there ubuntu [18:59] :D [18:59] ok. Thank you very much [19:00] hello [19:00] hi guys! [19:00] :D [19:00] tud vki magyarul? === andrex is now known as andrex|off [19:01] oke [19:01] andrex [19:02] Thelks, please don't spam, thanks. This is ubuntu support only [19:03] chris [19:03] tud vki magyarul? [19:05] ok OerHeks, sorry [19:05] tud vki magyarul? [19:05] tud vki magyarul? [19:05] tud vki magyarul? [19:05] I want to run everyday "gimp" at 21 hours, so I have created a file here "/etc/cron.daily" with this line inside: "02 21 * * * /usr/bin/gimp", but gimp is not launched at 21 hours.. [19:06] pazuzu, likely not. [19:06] the can be executed (+x) [19:06] tirengarfio: use crontab -e , and use DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp [19:06] EriC^^, what is crontab -e ? [19:06] tirengarfio: it's your user's crontab [19:07] crontab -edit [19:07] Eric^^ I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2263316 At the start he says "in terminal write..." Where can I open terminal if I cant get back to desktop after installation restart? [19:08] stie cineva romaneste? [19:08] hello, is it possible to pipe the skype voice output to some speech recognizer for linux? [19:08] uugeepilvi: press ctrl+alt+f1 [19:09] !romania | pazuzu [19:09] pazuzu: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [19:09] hello, is it possible to pipe the skype voice output to some speech recognizer for linux? [19:09] Nothing happens [19:09] faLUCE, anything is possible if you put your mind to it! [19:09] ms [19:10] uugeepilvi: did yuo try booting with nomodeset? [19:10] *you [19:10] ebonics: I'm searching for a how-to [19:10] faLUCE, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/ [19:11] just one more question...what is the differencew [19:11] sorry [19:11] what is the difference of selecting primary or logical when creating a partition? [19:11] faLUCE: http://www.triplebit.com/images/Cable2.jpg :D [19:11] Yes I did and after I boot it gets stuck on screen where reads: Booting command list, Loading linux 3.16.0-34-generic..., Loading initial ramdisk... [19:11] ebonics: ? [19:12] raimex: you can't have more than 4 primary partitions with msdos partition tables, so you can use an extended partition and create way more logical partitions, they're basically the same thing [19:12] faLUCE, your problem is pretty obscure. i doubt you're going to find pipe-skype-audio-to-voice-recognizer.so [19:12] raimex: for linux it doesn't matter, but windows won't start if it is not on a primary partition [19:12] faLUCE, you will probably need to create your own system with available tools for this [19:13] EriC^^ thank you. dr. faust, thank you, too! :) [19:13] so it doesnt matter which one to select? [19:13] ebonics: I see [19:14] When I start pc and keep pressing shift grub menu (or whatever it is) appears. Should I press ctrl + alt + f1 there to get terminal open? [19:14] It didnt work [19:15] uugeepilvi: no, try booting with nomodeset, if it doesn't work and you can't get a terminal too, then you can boot the live usb again with nomodeset and you can chroot into your installation and install graphics drivers [19:15] I just noticed that I dont have the option to create extended partition during ubuntu install [19:15] there is either primary or logicla [19:15] logical* [19:15] EriC^^, after "crontab -e" and editor is opened, but when I try to save the file I get "/etc/cron.daily/first_crontab E212: Can't open file for writing" [19:15] Im trying to save the crontab at /etc/cron.daily [19:15] is that correct? [19:16] raimex: same thing, extended is just the initial partition that gets divided into logical ones [19:16] Eric^^, what chroot means? >.> [19:16] raimex: logical partitions resides inside an extended partition that take the slot of one primary partition [19:17] tirengarfio: no you shouldn't be saving to there [19:17] Hi, I am using xfce and when pluggin in my external harddrive it is mounted without any rights (drwx------). How can I change this? === AlphaTech is now known as zz_AlphaTech [19:17] I think thunar is responsible for mounting [19:17] tirengarfio: type crontab -e , and edit that file then save === zz_AlphaTech is now known as AlphaTech [19:17] !chroot | uugeepilvi [19:17] uugeepilvi: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [19:17] and its a ntfs partition [19:17] well, let's divide the problem. is there any good speech recognizer for linux? I can use google's recoginzer too, but I would need a gui [19:17] EriC^^, so where exactly? by default it seems it is saved at "crontab.CIigMF/crontab" [19:18] but what path is that exactly? [19:18] tirengarfio: it's in /var/spool/something... [19:18] ah, I see..thank you again! :) [19:21] So my steps are: 1. crontab -e 2. add this line 00 21 * * * /usr/bin/gimp but gimp is not launched.. [19:21] 3. save (:w at vim) [19:21] tirengarfio: DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp [19:21] faLUCE: Sphinx, HTK, and Kaldi are a few [19:22] zerowaitstate: thanks [19:22] tirengarfio: cronjobs which are GUI need to be told where to display the program [19:24] EriC^^, it is not launched yet..:( here it is my file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840338/ [19:25] it says it is saved at "/tmp/crontab.7GIP4i/crontab", when I save it (:w) [19:25] tirengarfio: did you add it to the crontab of the user you're logged on to? [19:26] i just tried it, it works here *shrug* [19:26] EriC^^, I just run "crontab -e" and write it and save it, what else should I check? [19:26] type id [19:27] before typing crontab -e [19:27] uid=1000(tirengarfio) gid=1000(tirengarfio) groups=1000(tirengarfio),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),108(lpadmin),124(sambashare) [19:27] ok, type crontab -l [19:27] tirenarfio is my user [19:28] EriC^^, this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840359/ [19:29] ok type echo $DISPLAY [19:29] Eric^^ what kind of chroot should I do and how? Im too newbie for this >.< [19:29] it outputs :0 [19:30] type tail /var/log/syslog [19:30] does it say CRON DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp ? [19:30] no [19:31] tirengarfio: type crontab -e and add * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp [19:31] EriC^^, don't worry about it, it is working for a non display command [19:31] tirengarfio: type grep "DISPLAY.*gimp" /var/log/syslog [19:31] help !! No sound on ubuntu 15.04 [19:32] EriC^^, nothing is outputted [19:32] tirengarfio: it should mention it in syslog if it runs [19:32] tirengarfio: ok, so it's not running [19:32] !15.04 | chrisfromgreece [19:32] chrisfromgreece: Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) will be the 22nd release of Ubuntu due for release in April 2015.

[19:34] zerowaitstate: I can't find a GUI speech recognizer with a proper deb packagte.+ [19:34] uugeepilvi: follow the guide from step 6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot [19:34] zerowaitstate: sphinx needs an installation === rlf_ is now known as rlf [19:35] uugeepilvi: sudo chroot /mnt will make the chroot.. then type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA and paste in paste.ubuntu.com [19:37] EriC^^, no, it is not working, even with a nont graphical application, actually my command is /usr/bin/mytravel. Here it is the cron file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840392/ Actually it has worked the first time, but not anymore.. [19:38] tirengarfio: is it in syslog? [19:38] no [19:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840398/ [19:39] tirengarfio: that's odd [19:43] wait, it seems the time at my taskbar is not the same of the system.. [19:43] tirengarfio: try * * * * * it's way easier to troubleshoot stuff [19:44] tirengarfio: it'll run every minute [19:44] hello, is there any GUI based speech recognizer for ubuntu available on deb packages? [19:46] EriC^^, it is working now, the problem was the time at my taskbar [19:46] it is not showing the time of the system exactly [19:47] what is going on during "select and install software" on install? (retrieving file 5 of 32) [19:47] is there a way to query what is playing sound wise? === norm is now known as Guest95041 [19:47] sheap: press the arrow in the installer and it'll open a terminal below [19:48] sheap: i think it's updating the packages cache, or installing stuff if you chose to update during the installation [19:48] EriC^^: which arrow? it's a preseed but it's stuck retrieving files [19:49] anybody have any insight why ubuntu-latest (e.g.) has stopped defaulting to using tmpfs for /tmp? [19:49] sheap: arrow to the left, anywhere really i think at the bottom area [19:51] tirengarfio: i see [19:51] tirengarfio: try right clicking on it and selecting to get the time from the internet i guess [19:52] Hi, is systemd enabled on Ubuntu 14.10? I seem to have a 'systemd' package installed, but systemctl can't seem to connect to dbus. Is it only a shim version? [19:52] Peanut: no it is not installed as init for 14.10 [19:54] is it possible to install a DE without bundled software like its file manager, etc [19:54] ianorlin: ok, thanks. [19:54] if I have an isc-dhcp server running with a pool of .100-.200, can I still use DHCP to statically assign a device with an IP outside of the DHCP pool range. [19:58] acz32, --without-recommends , but a filemanager would be part of it i guess. [20:00] k2gremlin, sometimes yes, depends on the router. === CyberSix_ is now known as CyberSix [20:00] ianorlin: systemd will become an option most likely in 15.04 [20:01] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [20:02] HI all [20:03] * ianorlin knows zerowaitstate [20:04] sorry, wrong dest. I meant to send to Peanut [20:05] * zerowaitstate looks at the clock and notices that beer-thirty is approaching [20:05] 70 [20:05] Is notify-osd any use to Kubuntu or is it an Ubuntu package? [20:05] hi everyone [20:06] It's ok, I did see it, zerowaitstate [20:06] How can I inspect my cronjobs? [20:06] I've been having problems with it and want to know if it's okay to remove. [20:06] jayjo: crontab -l for your user ones [20:06] jayjo: crontab -l [20:06] Just got some curious systemd login errors, despite not running systemd. [20:06] I put one in under crontab -e but I don't think it's executing [20:06] jayjo: less /var/log/syslog [20:06] can someone tell me how to open opt folder with root privileges? [20:07] jayjo: press G and they should show up at the bottom [20:07] jayjo: check /var/log/syslog; cron should notify in syslog when a job runs [20:07] Would anyone know why this doesn't run when in cron? But if i copy and paste this it works?? [20:07] "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pTHEPASS --opt motdmedia | gzip -c > /var/www/backups/databases/motdmedia/motdmedia.$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql.gz >/dev/null 2>&1" [20:07] without the "" [20:08] phelix: you have two output redirects [20:08] phelix: for stdout [20:09] well i tried without the >/dev/null and it doesn't work in cron either. [20:09] instead of >/dev/null 2>&1, do 2>/dev/null [20:09] k let me try that thanks [20:12] zerobyte: /usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia | gzip -c > /var/www/backups/databases/motdmedia/motdmedia.$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql.gz 2>/dev/null [20:13] this one doesn't seem to be working either. I can see in syslog that its running. but the file is not created [20:13] my guess is the bash date expansion isn't working. usually when i do this i put the command in a bash script and tell cron to execute the script, rather than trying to do it inline [20:13] phelix: Does "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia" work as expected? [20:13] ahh hmm [20:14] :o === FunnyLookinHat_ is now known as FunnyLookinHat [20:14] bekks yeah even with the dats if I run the command from the terminal it creates the output with dates just fine [20:14] just not in cron [20:15] Try using full paths, like /usr/bin/gzip instead of gzip. [20:15] bekks: good eye [20:15] k [20:15] phelix: yeah, cron does not pick up your environment; you have to specify a lot of stuff [20:16] When doing a mysqldump from the command line, can you include ftp instructions for off server transfer? Dont find much on google for this question. [20:16] Frumpzula: no, but if you are scripting it you can send the output via curl [20:16] Ah! [20:16] Thank you [20:17] Zerowaitstate - Do you know why data function works when doing a mysqldump via command line, but when I add to crontab, it does not? [20:17] date [20:17] I mean [20:17] not data [20:18] hellow [20:18] Frumpzula: you may need to specify the shell to be used in your crontab [20:19] i.e., SHELL=/bin/bash [20:19] man 5 crontab for details [20:19] "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia | /bin/gzip -c > /var/www/backups/databases/motdmedia/motdmedia.$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql.gz 2>/dev/null" does not work either. [20:19] Thank you, I will explore that now [20:19] /bin/sh isn't bash on ubuntu [20:19] IM using ubuntu 12.04 [20:20] Frumpzula: You can script that. [20:20] bekks: yeah, I recommended that [20:20] OerHeks, the DHCP server is the Ubuntu server. I want a device to be statically assigned. However, the device does not have a static setting. I don't want it to be part of the pool of .100 to .200. I want it to have say .90 using the host config in the dhcps.conf file. [20:21] Where in this syntax would I add the shell specifiaction? 15 2 * * * root mysqldump -h mysql.url.com -u user -pPassword intravet sites | gzip > /mnt/disk2/database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y'`.sql.gz [20:21] you add it on a different line, usually near the top of the crontab file [20:21] hah me and Frumpzula seem to be working on the same problem [20:22] run the man page from crontab(5) [20:22] Funny stuff phelix... When I do the dump without the date in a cron, it works fine.. Also, from command line, the date function works like a charm also [20:22] Just not in the cron [20:22] Frumpzula: that's because cron does not use bash by default [20:22] ok [20:22] Thats my answer I think [20:22] Frumpzula: for evaluating the command [20:22] Really appricate it zero [20:23] I love this place! [20:24] Hello guys, i got this issue on my ubuntu 14.04 box. Software center is not available for unknown reason. How do I restore it? [20:24] Frumpzula: what you guys are asking for is done by nearly every dba there is [20:24] Frumpzula: Yes exact same problem here [20:24] so, I've done a couple of scripts like that :) [20:24] I now understand.. Makes total sense. [20:25] is it possible to have cron run as basj instead of sh ? [20:25] Frumpzula: I typically create an whole script file for the backup job; that way if some part fails I can add logic to email or notify me of a problem [20:25] How do you best eludicate the correct path for that? [20:25] the correct path for bash? [20:25] I was thinking of going down that road Zero [20:25] yes [20:25] hello all, how can I wipe a file via command line? I mean completely erase [20:25] which bash [20:26] type "which bash" from command line [20:26] idio, I use rm [20:26] Fuchs: rm unlinks only; it does not do "secure erase" [20:26] Has anybuddy heard me guys? [20:26] Got it zero.. Thank you! [20:26] I got this issue on my ubuntu 14.04 box. Software center is not available for unknown reason. How do I restore it? [20:26] which one would be secure erase? [20:26] wat? [20:27] you can shred it? [20:27] shred -vzn 3 /path/file [20:27] I think === sdx32 is now known as sdx23 [20:28] thank you Frumpzula [20:28] that's the easiest way for a particular file. alternatively there are tools to zero out unallocated file blocks [20:28] what is 3 there? [20:29] SHELL=/bin/sh [20:29] PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin [20:29] ihio: how many times to overwrite the data with junk [20:29] Last question Zero - The command: which bash displays /bin/bash - My cron tab says [20:29] SHELL=/bin/sh [20:29] PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin [20:29] will changing whats there have any negitive effecgts? [20:29] or can I just add a path [20:30] I applied it, but the file is still there [20:30] secure wipe tries to erase all sectors with junk so its gone for good [20:30] Frumpzula: always specify the full qualified path to your shell; never rely on PATH environment to find it [20:30] I can see where my cron jobs are running - is there a way to see the errors the job throws? [20:30] even though the runs are shown in terminal, the file is there [20:30] so all I need is Shell=/bin/bash ? [20:31] leave path alone? [20:31] ihio: add the -u option to delete it after overwrite [20:31] oh no sorry, the file is there, but, yeah, filled with junk [20:31] you have to add delete command [20:31] nm, zero got ya [20:31] -u option to the end= [20:31] ? [20:31] doesnt have to be at end [20:31] as far as I know [20:32] oh yes [20:32] it did [20:32] Hello all, I have a isc-dhcp-server question (ubuntu 12lts) question. [20:32] thank you all for your assistance! :) [20:32] ihio: be aware that this will not necessarily securely erase from flash media that supports TRIM [20:33] ihio: due to the fact that TRIM redirects writes to fresh disk sectors [20:33] zerowaitstate, which one would be secure erase for flash media (like usb) ? nautilus wipe tool? [20:34] ihio: in that case you are better off zeroing unallocated blocks with something like zerofree === ph is now known as Guest28088 [20:35] ihio: but the attacker has to be very savvy to get at the data on a flash trim volume [20:35] ihio: whereas just accessing unlinked files is easy [20:37] is isc-dhcp-server the correct install for server 12? dhcp3 is the older server right? [20:37] hy !! i have a problem with my keyboard !! when i'm in a root terminal some keys do not work !! can you help me ? [20:37] zerowaitstate, trim relates to ssd only, right? [20:38] Anyone have issues using GSSAPI/Kerbros auth for SSH via PBIS? I have identical configs on two boxes, and one correctly allows the ticket to be passed, and one doesn't. I found that, when I run sshd on the server with "/usr/sbin/sshd -Dddd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config", the authentication fails with "Wrong principal in request." [20:41] ihio: correct, or possible usb flash media [20:42] zerowaitstate, so usb sticks are also trim volumes? [20:42] ihio: I _think_ they can be, but not 100% sure. [20:43] ihio: the purpose of TRIM is dealing with low write cycle endurance for early models of flash memory [20:44] ihio: recent flash drives have higher number of write cycles before failure, so it is gradually becoming less of a problem [20:44] zerowaitstate, so it is more likely to be relevant for early models like usb 1.0 and maybe 2.0 ? [20:44] relevant or existent [20:45] ihio: some models don't support TRIM at all. They just fail when you hit the write cycle limit [20:46] ihio: google it if you want the gory details [20:46] ihio: buckshot is the best secure delete [20:46] zerowaitstate, how about wipe or dd? [20:48] ihio, What are you trying to do? `shred` will securely erase a volume [20:49] nogoodnamesleft, I was more referring to files [20:50] ihio: if you're doing stuff that is super-double-top-secret-probation, then you need to use encrypted file systems like LUKS instead of trying to monkey with secure delete [20:50] ihio, shred does that as well: `man shred`. [20:50] ihio, He's right, too. You want an encrypted disk as well. [20:51] hello, is there any GOOD speech-to-text application for ubuntu? I tried lot of messed/outdated/hard-to-install programs... can you suggest me a good one? I don't need to activate programs with vocal commands, I just need to write a dictation... something like google voice recognizer [20:52] doing good speech-to-text is hard, so most of that is going to be proprietary [20:52] zerowaitstate: also a proprietary program is good for me, but it has to run on linux [20:52] sure. thank you, just wanted to know which would be the best in case of a secure file deletion [20:52] thank you so much for your detailed help! [20:53] ihio, Shred will nuke it for sure, you can even do 7 pass overwrites. [20:53] nogoodnamesleft: I merely mentioned that shred and its kin do not work in log-structured filesystems or where the firmware is doing the same [20:54] I [20:54] zerowaitstate, Yes you are correct there. I use it for disks. [20:54] yes, we talked about flash media.. [20:55] I'm trying to install packages from an unsigned repo via preseed. Does anyone know of the preseed d-i command needed to implement the "--force-yes" option for apt-get install? [20:55] which is why I recommend if you are fairly paranoid about it to not store sensitive data unencrypted in the first place [20:55] if the volume is encrypted then it's less important to securely wipe [20:55] To be honest i think physical disk destruction is the best way [20:55] nogoodnamesleft: I also mentioned buckshot [20:56] nogoodnamesleft: but I didn't think anyone got it [20:56] zerowaitstate, What is buckshot? [20:56] 12 gauge [20:56] ? [20:56] ammunition for a shotgun? [20:56] oh guns [20:56] Yea well. None of those here I don't think. :-) [20:56] see, you don't get it either [20:57] I'm showing my roots [20:57] I would take it to a shredder, or use thermite. [20:57] why is there a confirmed bug for do-release-upgrade from 3+ ubuntu versions ago where dropping to a shell to examine the diffs for a config upgrade kills your entire ugprade process! [20:57] I have another question if I may. I am trying to import keys, by selecting 'import', but nothing happens [20:57] nogoodnamesleft: most of our stuff in my old job we sent to an industrial shredder [20:58] now I'm left with a half-configured upgrade [20:58] ihio: import keys for what [20:59] gnupg === SJrX is now known as SJr [20:59] the python upgrade script in /tmp is still running but I don't know how to (if I can) re-attach to it === zenix`` is now known as zenix` [21:01] Is there some reason Ubuntu defaults to OpenJDK 7 and not 8? Even vivid does. I see 7 in the main repo and 8 in universe. [21:03] anyone have any experience restarting/reattaching to a running release upgrade? [21:05] I am trying to import remote keys, but it doesnt work. am I missing something? [21:06] this seems like a good excuse to ditch ubuntu. [21:07] !details | sammy [21:07] sammy: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [21:09] SonikkuAmerica: eh, I just meant on this machine. I'm not going to reinstall it after this. do-release-upgrade dropped me to a shell to investigate a simple config file diff, and when I exited the shell, it closed the terminal the upgrade was in [21:09] quick question, I am using gitextensions-mono and for some reason for TAGMESSAGES it's using \ instead of /, anyone know off the top of their head how to fix? quick googling yields nothing so I suspect its a chronic case of mbainrot brainrot [21:09] Is there any way to get my cron job reports without having an MTA installed? [21:09] sammy: Then [ sudo killall do-release-upgrade ] and re-run it [21:10] Can I store them somewhere and access them manually periodically? [21:10] jayjo: you can get an MTA to deliver them locally; it's not terribly hard to get postfix or a very very simple MTA setup with no internet mailing [21:11] SonikkuAmerica: no, no thanks. there's nothing to re-run, my source lists have already been changed. it's too late to run it again, it had already downloaded and installed/upgraded most packages [21:12] dpkg is still running, waiting for me to return from checkign out the diff [21:12] sammy: You should be able to reattach screen [21:12] SonikkuAmerica: it closed it. [21:12] screen died? [21:12] SonikkuAmerica: this is what I'm tryiing to say, i typed exit, and I got the 'x to remove or r to reattach' message [21:13] like it does when the entire upgrade is over [21:13] Did you hit X? [21:13] If not, it should be listed in [ screen -r ] [21:14] you're not listening :( it closed. hitting r would only re-run do-release-upgrade which wont help me now that my sources are changed and lsb_relase says I'm on the version I was trying to upgrade to [21:14] but yes, I finally hit x after hitting r and seeing it was trying to re-run the ugprade (which is still halted int he background) to no avail [21:14] and even if I hadn't hit X and re-attached to it, I already got the 'x or r' mesasge, which meant the terminal the upgrade was in had closed [21:15] sammy: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if it failed on an upgrade, maybe [21:15] and I think you may have meant `screen -ls` for a listing [21:15] EriC^^_: dpkg is still running. the upgrade is still running :P [21:15] hi [21:15] sammy: For a listing, yes... but do you have more than 1 screen session going? [21:15] at this point I'm too wary to go and kill it off until I'm sure there's no way to resume it === psyrus is now known as psycrosoft [21:16] sammy: 'tail -f /var/log/dpkg.log' would show you if it's still running [21:16] that will definitely get me to a point that I may not be able to recover from [21:16] i'll install ubuntu, would you recommend to wait until 15.04 is released? [21:16] yeats: I can see the processes :P [21:16] they're all there, including the python process running the /tmp/upgrade-whatever-script-thingy-randomgarbage [21:16] it's like it paused to let me check the diff, then kicked me out. it's all still there [21:17] meisth0th: you can always install 14.04 and then upgrade. I'd suggest that, and wait until 15.04 has been out for about a month or so, so they can work out the kinks [21:17] that way you can install now and you wont have to wait! [21:17] despite what you see here, the upgrade process is pretty painless. [21:18] sammy, if i install 15.04 beta 2 now, will i get a unstable system? [21:18] meisth0th: !st time user ? I would suggest installing the Long-Term-Support release, 14.04 . [21:18] Bashing-om, coming from arch linux, don't think i'll have issues. [21:19] meisth0th: not necessarily. in fact, most likely not. if you don't mind tracking down bugs and the like, run 15.04 [21:19] meisth0th: Great ,,, have at it .. but be aware 15.04 is only supported for 9 months, then upgrade time . [21:19] it's like any other rolling release software; the longer each version has been out, the more time people have had to work out the bugs [21:20] what is the command to load my internet bookmarks (json file)into firefox? [21:21] sammy, ok thanks, loading 15.04 beta 2 to usb now :) [21:22] Hello I have a problem with my php scripts can't seem to get them to work. They are about 6 yrs. old and just wont work. I really need help to find out what to do. [21:28] I was working on a bash script and accidently messed something up.. I don't have like rm or ls or a ton of different commands. Any idea how I can get these back?? I tried to apt-get install coreutils but it says its already installed and a reinstall seems to not work =/ [21:29] can I just log the errors from cron somewhere on the machine? [21:30] I run ubuntu 14.04, libreoffice 4.2.7.2, my templates for Impress don't work, they seem good from normal view, but once I press F5 to slide-show, the image of the background of the template turns half white, even though it looks fine before I press F5, I'm using Vintage template, I don't remember if I downloaded or it came with it, but all I downloaded were from official page anyway [21:30] phelix: Which script ? Might be lucky and have a backup file -> ls -l /var/backups <- . [21:31] not sure cat doesn't work either =/ some bash script I was working on myself. Kinda new to bash scripts and was trying to rm some specific files and something bad happend. it like nuked all my important commands [21:31] I am not sure what to do === norm is now known as Guest27760 [21:33] hello ubunters. In 14.10 I disable intel_powerclamp so it wouldn't throttle my CPU to 600 MHz when I need to do stuff on it, now I updated to 15.04 for newer mesa but even though intel_powerclamp is blacklisted my CPU is still at 400 MHz when under load, is there a good way to prevent it from doing that? [21:33] I'm on "performance" governor [21:33] nothing interesting in dmesg [21:33] Anyone here good with gtk themes? [21:34] phelix: IF you know which file is messed up, might be able to boot to "recovery" from grub boot menu , remount read/write and fix the file ?? [21:34] i remain good at gtk themes by avoiding them altogether, personally :P [21:37] I Can't reinstall anything. I keep getting dpkg: warning: 'sh' not found in PATH or not executable [21:37] same with rm and tar [21:37] those files seemed to have been removed [21:38] phelix: Do you have a livecd around? [21:39] I dont. this is a rackspace server [21:39] current policy: frequency should be within 1.20 GHz and 1.32 GHz. The governor "performance" may decide which speed to use within this range. current CPU frequency is 405 MHz. [21:39] what is this bullshit >:( [21:39] tadzik: Please watch the profanity in here [21:39] I'm sorry [21:40] is there anyway to get these files back on the server? [21:40] phelix: Not without some way to externally boot and then debootstrap the affected partition [21:41] phelix: ... does the command: ar work? [21:41] yes [21:43] phelix: Hm, was thinking you could grab deb files and ar -x them it, but then you still have to untar. Need to find a tar binary someplace first [21:44] k have another ubuntu machine. Gonna try and grab those missing binary files and copy them to the right spot [21:44] phelix: Probably want to grab at a minimum the binutils and tar packages [21:45] ya [21:45] not sure how in gods name this bash script did this === alpha is now known as noob [21:47] phelix: After you get a functional minimal back up should make a list of installed packages and then apt-get install --reinstall them [21:47] ok I'll try that.. thank you === gary is now known as Guest69237 [21:51] I have an Ubuntu 14.04 web server I want to patch some security vulnerabilities on, but dont want to reboot for the kernel update yet. Is it a terrible idea to echo kernel_package hold | dpkg --set-selections until I have a lull in traffic for a reboot? [21:53] pankid: you can go ahead and do the full 'apt-get upgrade' or 'apt-get dist-upgrade' then reboot when it's convenient [21:53] phelix: echo $(dpkg --get-selections | grep install | cut -f1) | sudo apt-get install --reinstall ...should work for that. Then go make a large pot of coffee [21:53] yeats, wont cause an issue? [21:53] pankid: nah === laptop is now known as Guest24671 [21:54] hi all, um, I have a 'I dropped my laptop, please help me workaround what I did' sort of issue. Basically, headphone in/out detection is no longer reliable. I never use the speakers. I want to force output to always come out through the headphones, whether they are plugged in or not === Guest24671 is now known as peanuts [21:54] hello, I am trying to import remote gnupg keys, but it doesnt work when I find them and click on 'import'. am I missing something? [21:54] pankid: of course, things like apache restarts happen during APT updates, so you might see an interruption [21:54] (am Guest24671) any idea how to do that? [21:54] I can do it manually from the sound settings dialogue but, it reverts [21:54] pankid: (but it would be momentary) [21:55] ok, I am asking it in gnupg channel. thank you [21:55] yeats: I can't see that being a problem. Not a ton of traffic, I will just be in a world of hurt if the site goes down for more than an apache reload [21:55] pankid: it would probably be fine - I administer many high-availability ubuntu servers [21:56] yeats: thanks a ton [21:56] pankid: best of luck ;-) [21:58] hello. i seem to be having rather a plethora of problems with this fresh install i’ve just made. i did several rather unusual things: i installed 14.04 LTS server, then installed ubuntu-desktop package. i also installed proprietary nvidia drivers from the xorg-edgers ppa. i can’t seem to get network to run properly, and booting without recovery mode makes the X crash upon entering password (or clicking guest login) booting in recovery [21:58] seems to work but leaves no networking. any suggestions are welcome! === norm is now known as Guest98701 [22:02] Gallomimia: I would check the logs for clues on the X issue - also, you're probably in limbo between NetworkManager and the server-style /etc/network/interfaces-style management [22:02] !networkmanager [22:02] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [22:02] with text? i’ve done that before on remote vps’s. i can’t seem to meet up with the proper interface name [22:03] the X issue is probably more pressing :/ [22:03] Gallomimia: 'ifconfig' should show you the names of interfaces [22:03] Hello folks is there a tutorial on putting ubuntu on a usb key with PERSISTANT storage with WINDOWS [22:03] yeats: that lists loopback only i’m afraid [22:03] All the ones I have found on the 'net assume you already have ubuntu on you machine. [22:04] Gallomimia: look in /etc/network/interfaces too - for the X issue, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and friends === mbainrot is now known as zz_mbainrot [22:04] or they reccomend an installation that takes up the whold usb key [22:04] !liveusb [22:04] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [22:04] Shaba1: ^^ [22:06] Hello! Does anyone know how I can add a keyboard layout to the list you normally choose from? I installed Japanese language support and IBus Anthy, yet Jap. Anthy still dosent show up in the list. [22:06] Mot install FROM a usb stick [22:06] install TO a USB stick so you can boot the laptop to ubuntu [22:06] yeats i should also mention that in building my install, i had grub-probe freak the heck out and spew all sorts of errors and dump core. it still does this when asking it to repair grub [22:06] Shaba1: read the second link :-/ [22:07] Gallomimia: if you can collect and pastebin the errors, someone may be able to assist [22:07] Wassup guys? How's it going? [22:08] Guys, share your favorite Ubuntu package [22:08] !poll | mandaxFan [22:08] thanks reading [22:08] yeats: i’ll try, but most of them are in places i can’t c&p. i’ve managed to google some of them and there’s open bug reports [22:09] genii I added those files and now I am getting a permission denied.. Do you know if i have to set a specific permission to them now? [22:09] mandaxFan: better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is for support [22:09] oops, sorry I will leave :) [22:11] phelix: 755 should be their permissions, root their user and group [22:12] is it safe to just run chmod -R 755 /bin ? [22:12] Gallomimia: you can try something like ' | tee errors.log' then install pastebinit and do 'pastebinit errors.log' (of course, that requires networking) [22:12] phelix: don't do that [22:12] ugh, I don't even have chmod working right. Getting permission error on chmod [22:13] phelix: There are some like mount that have setuid, so no [22:13] yes that’s a bit of a problem. i’m considering a scheme to transfer pastebin docs on a usb. [22:13] chmod must of been one of the files the script removed [22:13] i have chown but not chmod [22:13] well those commands are there now but no permission to run them [22:14] or maybe you lost access to chmod? perhaps the permission is removed for +x ? [22:14] maybe your group got changed and you’re not in the group that can run it? [22:14] !compatibility [22:14] i think you need to learn about sudo [22:14] !hardware [22:14] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [22:14] no I ran a bash script I was working on and messed something up and it deleted a ton of my files in /bin [22:14] so i found another ubuntu machine and coppied the missing files from there to this machine [22:14] oh. [22:15] not sure what to do.... [22:15] maybe you should use a repair script? usb stick... [22:15] well the machine is at rackspace [22:15] backup all your files [22:15] oh [22:15] phelix: Is it possible to pastebin the script you originally used which messed it up? [22:15] yea [22:15] yeah that’d help! [22:15] let’s read it. [22:15] ftp i think will let me download it [22:15] synaptic give me message is Could not apply changes! [22:15] Fix broken packages first [22:15] ( so we can see what exactly it did) [22:16] can some one tell me how fix that [22:16] uh… dpkg -f install ? [22:16] are updates to ubuntu 14.04 stable pretty conservative? Will updates to php, mysql, apache break my web server if I am using an older version of zencart? [22:17] uh… pankid i want to say probably [22:17] probably will break, or probably wont break? [22:18] pc-moon__, you have to tell us what u r trying to install with synaptic and if it does that with eveything. [22:19] http://pastie.org/10099022 [22:19] im trying to install NVIDIA legacy binary driver - [22:20] i have VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050 and i wanna run two display [22:21] i have two error in update first is VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050 and second is VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050 [22:22] sorry first is E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? and second is E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:23] pc-moon__: use sudo in front [22:23] genii: http://pastie.org/10099022 [22:23] you mean like : sudo apt-get update [22:24] pc-moon__, close everything then sudo synaptic [22:24] phelix: Unfortunately my mind is mooshy right now, I've been looking at it but not registering anything. I think the problemmatic part might have been using /* because /.. is recurse a directory [22:24] ok [22:24] unless irc >> [22:25] pc-moon__: Yes, sudo apt-get update [22:25] Yes, well any idea how to help me get these files back? I mean I put the binaries back on from my other ubuntu machine. But now I can't run them and chmod is one of the commands I don't have permission to run [22:26] phelix: When you "boot" the server do you get a grub menu? [22:26] ok im trying [22:26] I am not sure. Scared to try and reboot it. And again its at rackspace I can't watch the bootup screen [22:27] oh good synaptic working now [22:27] I mean I could look at the log file [22:27] I have some very important websites running on it. And those are still working just fine. It seems like it really just nuked a bunch of important files in /bin [22:27] pc-moon__: By the way, do not run that other command which l4l13n said. If you run synaptic with sudo and not gksu/gksudo it will mess up files in your home folder === newbie is now known as Guest19167 [22:28] ah ok its good to know thats === byaruhaf_ is now known as byaruhaf [22:29] phelix: I ask because normally a grub menu comes and you choose which kernel, or memtest, or in this case what we would want is the recovery boot which lands you as root user [22:29] do thats hard to make my ubuntu run to minters by my nvidia card [22:29] genii, oh really? [22:29] l4l13n: Yes [22:29] I don't think that i have access to do this.. =/ [22:29] !gksu [22:29] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:29] ok sry guys [22:29] there anyway to get a chmod file on this machine that will run? [22:30] l4l13n: See the bot's link for a more detailed explanation [22:31] phelix: It's the chicken-egg problem, unfortunately [22:31] yea ... ugh. [22:31] not sure what to do! [22:32] phelix: The only way to escape the chicken-egg type situation is go outside of it by one level somehow. so in this case an external boot independent of the messed up files would be the normal method [22:33] genii, damn i use sudo for months. I'll use gksudo about now thx [22:33] phelix: Is it letting you scp files to it right now? [22:33] yea I can do that [22:33] will that copy file permissions etc? [22:34] phelix: So conceivably you could scp the other Ubuntu's files directly to the /bin ( assuming it lets you use sudo ) [22:34] huzzaaah, was scared due to how many updates I had to do. yeats: I ended up just doing apt-get upgrade rather than dist-upgrade, so the kernel wont be updated until I run dist-upgrade and reboot [22:34] phelix: Yep, will preserve whatever ownership and perms [22:34] k let me try that [22:36] wtf.. just ran it and it copied everything and I still get bash: /bin/ls: Permission denied [22:36] Is there some reason Ubuntu defaults to OpenJDK 7 and not 8? Even vivid does. I see 7 in the main repo and 8 in universe. 8 is much faster for the apps I am using. [22:40] how would i install opengl on ubuntu [22:40] test === andrex|off is now known as andrex [22:41] phelix: Oh, forgot... use -p switch. Like I said, brain is mooshy right now [22:41] alex141284: Yes, we see what you type === Isla_de_Muerte is now known as NwS [22:44] I’m logged in to a server that is rejecting all new connections. In /var/log/auth.log I’m seeing the following message: Connection closed by myipaddress [preauth] [22:44] I’ve restarted ssh and verified authorized_keys hasnt been changed. [22:45] Peiniger: Probably a better question for #ubuntu-server [22:45] Thanks genii [22:45] Peiniger: It's pretty quiet in there right now, but have patience :) [22:45] Thanks [22:48] hi everyone... I have an issue regarding a usb pen drive... whenever I plug it on my network breaks... does anybody know where to start debugging? [22:48] phelix: Any luck using scp with the -p switch to copy the files over? [22:49] lzkill, What breaks? Network drive connection breaks, or network connection breaks? [22:49] no it still changed file permissions. I just talked to a guy at rackspace. I guess I can boot into recovery mode. He said and then get to the machine and then mount my current hard drive and copy the core /bin files from the rescue mode to the my current servers mount and then reboot [22:49] if that makes sense. [22:49] he says that shouldn't mess with any permissions [22:50] phelix: Yes, good [22:51] hello everybody [22:51] in my laptop i have a graphic card NVIDIA® GeForce® 840M con DDR3 da 2 GB [22:52] the problem is that ubuntu found Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2) [22:52] how can i resolve this? === SonikkuAmerica is now known as S-USA|AlexTrebek === mkv is now known as m4v === S-USA|AlexTrebek is now known as SonikkuAmerica [23:19] what's the term for " and ' in linux? Trying to google the difference between the two, but google is trying to actually use them instead of search for them [23:21] The first one is called "double quotes", the second one is called "single quote". Inside the first one, e.g. shell expansion is done, inside the latter one shell expansion does not work. [23:21] thank you [23:21] yw :) [23:28] ubuntu-drivers devices returns nothign :( [23:29] pankid: get a spare disk (or better yet, a spare machine) and stage it. Then you can cut back at a moment's notice if necessary. [23:37] is it possible to take permissions from /bin and duplicate them on same file names on like /mnt/bin ? === andrex is now known as andrex|off [23:39] phelix: Yes. It probably requires some scripting though. What is your end goal? [23:40] i have 2 folders with duplicate files.. I messed up all the permissions in my /bin folder. So I rebooted int orecovery mode. So I mounted my hd that has the bad permissions in /mnt/bin and I am trying to take perms from recovery /bin and duplicate them to the files in /mnt/bin [23:40] would like chmod --reference /bin /mnt/bin/* work ? === leonardo is now known as Guest81360 === Guest81360 is now known as gfodranoel [23:41] hmm doesn't seem like it does [23:42] mv chown === gfodranoel is now known as odranoel [23:46] phelix: Are the files otherwise identical? === mike is now known as Guest77452 === leonardo_ is now known as gfodranoel [23:56] Quick question, is vivid still on track for release on the 23rd? :) === leonardo_ is now known as gfodranoel [23:57] when it's ready Ullarah === root is now known as Guest19103 [23:57] hello [23:57] hi every body [23:58] hi folks.
