[00:01] <godd> zerowaitstate: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10835841/
[00:01] <Mr-Potter> godd: Thanks for confirming that, can't argue with you sorry
[00:01] <Mr-Potter> anyway I think you have to mount it
[00:01] <zerowaitstate> godd: okay, it is partitioned, but evidently not formatted
[00:01] <Mr-Potter> oh nvm
[00:02] <zerowaitstate> godd: therefore, you must format it
[00:02] <godd> zerowaitstate: how do i format? And thank you for helping.
[00:02] <zerowaitstate> godd: which filesystem do you want to use?
[00:03] <Lui_> Ty, Michael. :)
[00:03] <godd> zerowaitstate: ntfs I think is the most common, am i correct? i will be using the drive to store mp3 files.
[00:04] <ObrienDave> if you want to access files under windows, ntfs or fat32
[00:04] <zerowaitstate> 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] <godd> zerowaitstate: I did that but my drive doesn't show up there
[00:05] <zerowaitstate> godd: try "gksudo gnome-disks" from the command line and tell me if it shows up
[00:07] <zerowaitstate> godd: if that doesn't work, you can use "sudo mke2fs /dev/sdb1" from the command line to create the filesystem
[00:07] <godd> zerowaitstate:  it isn't there, I'm trying the second command now.
[00:08] <godd> zerowaitstate: it's "writing inode tables"
[00:08] <zerowaitstate> godd: yup
[00:09] <zerowaitstate> godd: oh wait, you wanted ntfs didn't you
[00:10] <godd> zerowaitstate: whatever will be compatible with ubuntu and windows both will work
[00:10] <zerowaitstate> godd: you would do the same thing, only it would be "sudo mkntfs /dev/sdb1" instead
[00:10] <godd> zerowaitstate: thanks!
[00:11] <zerowaitstate> 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] <zerowaitstate> 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] <zerowaitstate> godd: unmounting flushes changes to the disk and ensures no processes have open files on the disk
[00:14] <godd> zerowaitstate: I'll remember that! Thanks for the help and information!!

[00:31] <voidwalker> hello. i need some help upgrading from wine1.7.38 to wine1.7.40, i have enabled the relevant ppa but i am stuck in .38 version
[00:32] <hkrrsx> voidwalker: /join #winehq
[00:32] <voidwalker> hkrrsx, i did, i have no idea why the dev version doesnt appear in ppa
[00:33] <hkrrsx> voidwalker: Have you run ' sudo apt-get update ' since you've added the PPA ?
[00:33] <voidwalker> hkrrsx, yes of course. wine1.7.38 isnt in ubuntu repos i got it from that ppa in the first place
[00:34] <hkrrsx> Perhaps apt-get purge wine1.7.38 and then install 1.7.40 ?
[00:35] <voidwalker> hkrrsx, i installed wine yesterday and got .38, .40 simply isnt there
[00:35] <mekhami> This is an off-topic question but I have no idea where else to ask it: what would cause two machines on the same network to resolve a URL completely differently? I'm running Ubuntu/Chrome, she's using Windows 7/Chrome, we're on the same network, but we both navigate to seamless.com and I get the website, she gets one of those domain camped websites
[00:35] <hkrrsx> Sorry, hopefully the #winehq have a better answewr
[00:37] <ObrienDave> mekhami, check to see if you're both using the same DNS address
[00:38] <kevin_007> join #python
[00:50] <voidwalker> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable
[00:50] <voidwalker> you need to add that to get last wine
[00:50] <voidwalker> not in wine team ppa

[01:13] <scuba323> hey all
[01:17] <Myll_> hi, i'm calling a python script from PHP on my website. the python script is next to the index.html, and it creates a new file in that directory when ran. i'm fairly sure it's failing due to permission issues. i've tested it on localhost and it runs fine, and i made sure python3 is installed on the server. how would i go about changing permissions on the server so that the python script can write to the directory?
[01:27] <gzcwnk> anybody used corsync for clustering?
[01:32] <gzcwnk> what runs a firewall on ubuntu 14.o4 lts and how can i turn it off?
[01:33] <compdoc> gzcwnk, there is none
[01:33] <xangua> it's off by default
[01:36] <hiexpo> xangua, you have to install one
[01:36] <coffee-> !themes
[01:37] <struhevol> how can i make an admin see changes in bashrc
[01:37] <struhevol> i logged in as root made some changes
[01:37] <struhevol> and now when i logged in as admin i see no changes
[01:37] <struhevol> is there a way for the admin to be able to see the changes made in bashrc
[01:38] <hiexpo> xangua, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firewall
[01:38] <gzcwnk> comdoc there is a firewall on my system and I want to turn it off
[01:39] <struhevol> is there a ubuntu help channel
[01:40] <somsip> struhevol: you are in it
[01:40] <hiexpo> struhevol, what did you change in bash?
[01:41] <struhevol> hiexpo i did a figlet logged in as root and when i logged in as an admin i dont see the changes
[01:42] <zykotick9> struhevol: fyi, .bashrc is usually user specific...
[01:42] <struhevol> i am still new to this
[01:42] <struhevol> thank you
[01:42] <struhevol> this is my 3rd using linux
[01:42] <struhevol> 3rd day
[01:42] <struhevol> learning basic commands
[01:43] <struhevol> 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] <Blue1> struhevol: you have to logout/back in again (well just end bash) to have the changes re-read
[01:44] <struhevol> its user specific how can i add a user to be able to changes to the bashrc
[01:44] <netlar> Copy Paste is not working on my computer.  It is happening in several applications.  Is there a fix for this?
[01:44] <Blue1> netlar: how are you copying / pasting?
[01:44] <netlar> Just to add, it sometimes works, this problem is happening randomly
[01:45] <xangua> netlar: after you copy a text, do you close the application wich you copied it¿
[01:45] <netlar> Blue1: with the menu or shortcuts
[01:45] <netlar> xangua: nope
[01:45] <struhevol> ?? 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] <netlar> I will reboot and it will be fixed for awhile
[01:45] <Blue1> netlar: if you close the app after copying, it flushes the buffer
[01:46] <hiexpo> sounds like ram
[01:46] <netlar> Blue1: nope
[01:46] <xangua> netlar: if yes, try to install a clipboard manager, like: diodon
[01:46] <Blue1> struhevol: just end the terminal session, and restart it.  no need to be root for that.
[01:46] <netlar> xangua: I do have diodon installed
[01:46] <Kapowza> 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] <struhevol> i did
[01:46] <Bashing-om> 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] <struhevol> i exit out of the terminal
[01:47] <Kapowza> i feel like this is a pretty simple thing to do, but im slightly ubuntu-illiterate
[01:47] <struhevol> and opened a new terminal still no changes
[01:47] <netlar> Bashing-om: this affects any copy pasting I do
[01:47] <struhevol> 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] <netlar> Plus when I highlight a word, it will unhighlight it
[01:47] <Bashing-om> struhevol: ^^ sorry netlar .. meant that for other .
[01:48] <ObrienDave> Kapowza, yes you can, or make an alias with all the commands in a string
[01:48] <netlar> This problem appears to be system wide
[01:48] <Blue1> netlar if you are tying to copy or paste into a terminal window you need to do ctrl+shft
[01:48] <netlar> I was not having this issue with Ubuntu 14.04 until very recently
[01:49] <netlar> Blue1: I know, was not even trying copy paste in terminal, just in the applications
[01:49] <struhevol> what the google quire for that bashrc for admin to be able to see the changes
[01:50] <Blue1> 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] <Kapowza> 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] <netlar> Blue1: it will not even let me highligth the text
[01:51] <netlar> Blue1:  I highlight the text than it blinks off the text
[01:52] <ObrienDave> Kapowza, for an alias, edit .bash_aliases with any txt editor, reopen terminal and run the command
[01:52] <netlar> Something appears to be corrupted, but I have no idea how to fix it
[01:52] <ObrienDave> Kapowza, separate commands with && so it stops on errors
[01:53] <Blue1> 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] <Elimin8er> 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] <Kapowza> where do i find the .bash_aliases file
[01:53] <ObrienDave> Kapowza, your home directory, you might have to enable "show hidden files"
[01:54] <Bashing-om> 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] <ObrienDave> Kapowza, ^^^
[01:54] <struhevol> i know its a text file
[01:54] <Blue1> Kapowza: ~/home/.bashrc_aliases
[01:54] <struhevol> in the text file i did figlet anything
[01:55] <Blue1> Kapowza: http://pkill-9.com/enabling-bash_aliases/
[01:57] <netlar> Think I found the issue
[01:58] <Blue1> netlar: what did you find?
[01:58] <netlar> Only appears to happen when I open good chrome
[01:58] <netlar> Google chrome that is
[01:59] <Blue1> yeah not menu shortcuts there must use ctrl+c and ctrl+v
[01:59] <netlar> When I close Chrome , the problem does not exist
[01:59] <netlar> Blue1: huh?
[01:59] <struhevol_> 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] <Blue1> netlar: tht is weird
[01:59] <netlar> Blue1: must be some kind of conflict , not sure
[02:00] <Bashing-om> 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] <Blue1> struhevol_: partily correct -- you have to be logged in as root, but the changes must be made to .bashrc in /root too
[02:00] <xangua> netlar: maybe an addon, like pushbullet¿ that syncs with your android clipboard
[02:01] <netlar> xangua: Yes I do have pushbullet on chrome
[02:01] <Blue1> struhevol_: so    su -  then cd /root  -- make your changes
[02:02] <Blue1> struhevol_: note the changes you make to root, do NOT carry over to any other user.
[02:03] <struhevol_> bash: -rw-r--r--: Permission denied
[02:03] <netlar> xangua: Yep, that was it, I took it off of Chrome , no more problem
[02:03] <struhevol_> thats what i got
[02:03] <Blue1> struhevol_: private message ok?
[02:04] <struhevol_> i did this as root ls -al .bashrc >> -rw-r--r-- 1
[02:04] <hiexpo> struhevol_, why are you asking same ? in kali what distro are you useing?
[02:04] <struhevol_> and got this
[02:04] <struhevol_> bash: -rw-r--r--: Permission denied
[02:05] <hiexpo> struhevol_, use su he said
[02:07] <struhevol_> does the distro matters hiexpo
[02:07] <Blue1> struhevol_: http://pkill-9.com/the-difference-between-su-and-su/
[02:07] <hiexpo> stackfault, yes
[02:07] <struhevol_> i figure the kali channel might know more
[02:07] <struhevol_> i am using ubuntu
[02:07] <Blue1> struhevol_: well then -- off you go
[02:08] <struhevol_> thank you so much for the path
[02:10] <struhevol_> omg what did i get my self into
[02:10] <struhevol_> why is it so bad to run as root any ??
[02:11] <technickul> If I have an application that I didn't install via software center how to get it to show up when I hit the command button and then search?
[02:12] <struhevol_> this is so cool i did the su - and now i see the changes
[02:12] <struhevol_> how can i make the admin see the changes without doing su -
[02:13] <xangua> technickul: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[02:14] <CODE> please i am not able to use aircrack on my terminal
[02:14] <CODE> dont know what may be the cause
[02:15] <hiexpo> struhevol_, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/52268/why-is-it-a-bad-idea-to-run-as-root
[02:16] <Bashing-om> struhevol_: There is no such thing as an admin account, The 1st user created may gain administrative authority with the 'sudo' mechanisin(s) . // /root belongs to 'root' and no others have access - unless you with the elevated privileges make it where you can access..
[02:16] <ObrienDave> !root | struhevol_
[02:17] <bulka> hi
[02:17] <technickul> xangua: thank you for pointing me in the right direction! :)
[02:17] <bulka> I have got an ubuntu server, I am running a web application on 8069 port but can't access that on my browser, any help?
[02:18] <struhevol_> thanks for the class on su and su -
[02:18] <struhevol_> it still does not solve the problem i have
[02:18] <struhevol_> how do i make the admin see the changes to the bashrc without typing su -
[02:18] <struhevol_> and logging in as root
[02:18] <struhevol_> i just dont get what i did wrong
[02:19] <deadmund> bulka: What happens when you point your browser at localhost:8069 on that machine?
[02:19] <xangua> (21:18:45) struhevol_: and logging in as root - there is a clue
[02:19] <bulka> deadmund: This webpage is not available
[02:20] <struhevol_> i know the root password
[02:20] <struhevol_> i know the admin password
[02:20] <struhevol_> i am the owner
[02:20] <Bashing-om> struhevol_: No one has access to /root , except 'root' .
[02:20] <deadmund> 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] <Bashing-om> 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 .
[02:22] <linuxlue> Can i update from Ubuntu 15.04 beta to stable, or will I have to do a reinstall when the stable image comes out?
[02:22] <bulka> deadmund: I am not using application on localhost but on a_public_ip:8069,  Chrome says "webpage is not available",  firefox says "Unable to connect"
[02:22] <xangua> linuxlue: yes, keep updates; also for 15.04 please use #ubuntu+1
[02:23] <Bashing-om> struhevol_: Who can access what : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions .
[02:23] <linuxlue> xangua:  My bad, but thank you
[02:23] <deadmund> 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] <deadmund> bulka: Can you see your web server process running on the server using ps -e   ??
[02:24] <struhevol_> bashing what is date for do i need to include that
[02:26] <bulka> deadmund: yes it is running , 2015-04-17 02:25:47,739 10094 INFO ? openerp.service.server: HTTP service (werkzeug) running on 0.0.0.0:8069
[02:26] <Bashing-om> struhevol_: Thedate is the last ime the file was modified/accessed . The point here is permissions .. no one but 'root' has access to any thing in the /root directory .
[02:26] <bulka> checked with ps -e also
[02:26] <deadmund> bulka: mmm, are you running a firewall?  What is your network like?
[02:27] <bulka> deadmund: didn't get, the internet connection I am using?
[02:27] <deadmund> bulka: Do you have a router?  (like a typical home setup)
[02:29] <bulka> deadmund: yes I do have
[02:30] <bulka> 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] <bulka> something in server is blocking me to access application
[02:31] <deadmund> 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] <deadmund> 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.
[02:35] <bulka> 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] <bulka> deadmund: I mean I am missing some configuration on webserver
[02:36] <bulka> it may be firewall in ubuntu server
[02:36] <deadmund> bulka: Webserver number 1 (is working) attached to ip1:8069      Webserver number 2 (is not working) attached to ?:?
[02:38] <bulka> deadmund: there are two webservers? :O
[02:38] <bulka> deadmund: may be I also installed nginx
[02:39] <deadmund> bulka: What ip and port is each webserver listening on (they're on the same machine?)
[02:40] <bulka> 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] <bulka> deadmund: yes they are on same machine 1st is listening on 0.0.0.0:8069
[02:41] <bulka> 2nd may be on port 80? (nginx)
[02:42] <deadmund> bulka: I'm not sure what the problem is if it isn't a network config issue.
[02:42] <deadmund> bulka: Maybe your ISP is blocking non standard ports (8069 is def non-standard)
[02:42] <deadmund> but 80 is very standard
[02:43] <TiK> bulka: did you forward a a port oin your router?
[02:43] <bulka> deadmund: I am sure about ISP , it is not blocking as I have already accessed on many other ports including 8069
[02:43] <deadmund> bulka: Then I have no idea.
[02:43] <TiK> bulka: did you forward the port on your router?
[02:43] <bulka> Tik I think no, but I Am checking, just 1 min pls
[02:44] <bulka> deadmund: thanks for your time
[02:44] <bulka> :)
[02:45] <TiK> bulka: its 10.0.0.1 usually
[02:45] <TiK> gnight
[02:47] <bulka> Tik, can't access 192.168.1.1 :s
[02:48] <TiK> bulka: try 10.0.0.1
[02:49] <bulka> Tik, deosn't work, ifconfig gives me  inet addr:192.168.25.4
[02:49] <bulka> on trying that, I get nginx is running
[02:49] <TiK> thts your computers ip not your routers ip
[02:50] <TiK> bulka: just forward the port on your router... done.
[02:53] <sillyplus> \help
[02:54] <bulka> Tik: no port forwarding is done
[02:55] <bulka> Tik: why should I forward port on my router? I want to access it from any internet connection
[02:56] <TiK> forward port 8064 or whatever to your local ip
[02:56] <TiK> anyway im out bed4me

[03:56] <sheer> Is there something I should do after installing Ubuntu to ensure system is clean?
[03:56] <cfhowlett> sheer, you just installed it. it's clean.
[03:56] <sheer> I meant, to ensure it remains clean.
[03:57] <cfhowlett> sheer, add another account with normal, i.e. non-admin privileges.  that should be your daily driver.  use the admin account for admin stuff.  Only my suggestion, YMMV

[05:19] <TheTofu> How do I uninstall the default browser so I can put Internet Explorer on here?
[05:19] <boa> um, this is linux
[05:20] <TheTofu> Yeah, but I want to use a good browser. Not this Chroma thingy.
[05:20] <boa> you do realie ie is a windows program right
[05:20] <boa> that isnt even being worked on anymore, ms abandoned it
[05:20] <Ben64> !browser | TheTofu pick one
[05:20] <jason__> if you really need to use internet explorer you can run a virtual machine or maybe wine.
[05:20] <boa> i dont see the obsession with ie
[05:22] <jason__> 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] <boa> if you're developing for windows/ms you're prob not using linux
[05:25] <TheTofu> 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.
[05:25] <ianorlin> you can run ie in a vm
[05:25] <boa> why are you using linux if you're doing graphic design
[05:25] <jason__> ah okay TheTofu is just a troll
[05:25] <boa> just go back to osx

[05:58] <pc-moon__> ok
[05:58] <pc-moon__> i have windows and working well in windows
[05:58] <pc-moon__> may can i found someway
[06:07] <Gallomimia> greetings. i seem to be having some trouble running the installer. i’m using ubuntu 14.04 server installer, and i’ve had some moderate success in getting that to run. tripped on a few things and going to run it again. but now, every time i boot into the installer, the keyboard quits working right at the part where it asks you what type of keyboard you have. (just past grub) what in the world is going wrong for me? perhaps i’ve messed
[06:07] <Gallomimia> something in the bios?
[06:17] <wafflejock> pc-moon, same chipset and it works fine here for multi-display for two externals, if I try hooking up two externals plus using the built in monitor then things go haywire
[06:18] <wafflejock> pc-moon, seems to be true with KDE, Unity or Gnome they always get a CRTC-65 error if I try to run all three displays, typically just have to go the display settings and turn on/enable the external though
[06:19] <wafflejock> currently using 1 VGA and 1 HDMI out of my laptop though and all is well with this setup
[06:19] <wafflejock> no idea what that CRTC error is all about but don't care enough about also having the laptop monitor at the same time to do anything about it
[06:21] <wafflejock> Gallomimia, you can try ctrl+alt+f1 to see if you can get to a terminal and if the GUI just froze, alternatively try an external keyboard if it's a laptop
[06:22] <shiggitay> hello all... 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] <shiggitay> All I'm asking for help with is Grub
[06:22] <shiggitay> so it can boot
[06:24] <shiggitay> Could someone tell me what pkg to install once I'm chrooted into my install?
[06:25] <shiggitay> Anyone?
[06:27] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> shiggitay, found that here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[06:27] <shiggitay> THanks
[06:27] <wafflejock> 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] <shiggitay> thanks :)
[06:28] <shiggitay> would I need to be chrooted ?
[06:29] <shiggitay> wafflejock,
[06:29] <wafflejock> 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] <wafflejock> shiggitay, ^
[06:30] <shiggitay> Eric__,
[06:30] <shiggitay> *slap* lol
[06:30] <wafflejock> yeah think he typically goes by ^Eric^ or some such but have seen him guide some people through all the UEFI debugging
[06:31] <shiggitay> heh
[06:40] <Gallomimia> wafflejock: the solution was to plug keyboard into usb3
[06:40] <Gallomimia> 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?
[06:41] <Gallomimia> i guess i need to reflash the usb-key. wtf…
[06:45] <k2gremlin> Anyone here have experiance with Plex through Squid with outside access?
[06:45] <k2gremlin> I have a Ubuntu plex server on a VM that is connected on the vSwitch to another Ubuntu VM running Squid transparent. Squid Server is using 2 connections. WAN and LAN obviously. 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] <k2gremlin> 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?
[06:46] <k2gremlin> Those rules I have tried on both servers at the same time. Still not working
[06:50] <k2gremlin> anyone? lol
[06:54] <vonsyd0w> im not too familiar with squid, but anything in its (and iptables) logs that would provide some input?
[06:54] <JamesBong> hi there
[06:55] <GLB> ELO
[06:55] <JamesBong> quick qustion, which file in etc tells you the ubuntu release installed?
[06:55] <GLB> WHat
[06:56] <vonsyd0w> "/etc/issue/"
[06:56] <JamesBong> vonsyd0w: thx
[07:01] <geirha> JamesBong: LSB-compliant distros will have an lsb_release command. Try ''lsb_release -a''. I wouldn't rely on /etc/issue
[07:09] <vonsyd0w> curious to why you cant rely on it? all of the major distros use it
[07:10] <vonsyd0w> and he specifically said ubuntu, which it'll be there
[07:16] <foofoobar> Hi. I’m building a docker image based on ubuntu:trusty. Doing an apt-get update and then installing python and some libs. I get: E: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-urllib3/python-urllib3_1.7.1-1ubuntu0.1_all.deb  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.149 80]
[07:16] <foofoobar> How to solve this?
[07:17] <foofoobar> cmd is apt-get install -y python python-dev python-distribute python-pip libjpeg-dev libjpeg8-dev libpng3 libfreetype6-dev libmysqlclient-dev
[07:32] <wafflejock> Gallomimia, glad you got that first part sorted, not sure about the crypto stuff though never encrypt my drives just have encrypted password storage
[07:32] <Gallomimia> im reading another page that mentions problems with my mobo’s bios
[07:32] <Gallomimia> and workarounds involving the mounting of the usb stick itself
[07:35] <wafflejock> foofoobar, looks like that file is no longer there, apparently something out of date in the package listings http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-urllib3/ maybe can install the appropriate .deb here manually
[07:36] <foofoobar> wafflejock: How can this happen in the public repository? It’s bad because I’m doing this in a docker image to automate this process.
[07:36] <foofoobar> I wonder how this fails now and worked yesterday.
[07:36] <wafflejock> foofoobar, yeah honestly no idea, I've never seen that from the main repos
[07:36] <wafflejock> foofoobar, it makes some sense when things are deprecated and fall from archive or some PPA but not the main repos
[07:37] <foofoobar> wafflejock: I have an idea. Docker uses caching for commands, maybe the apt-get update is cached
[07:37] <wafflejock> foofoobar, don't really do python myself though it's one of the few big languages I've never dabbled in
[07:39] <foofoobar> wafflejock: I think it was a docker related problem, sorry for taking your time.
[07:39] <wafflejock> ah no worries
[07:39] <foofoobar> the „apt-get update“ was cached while the „apt-get install“ was not.
[07:55] <Woodrag> somehow postgresql is running as the postfix user.... How can i correct this and make postgres running as the postgres user like it should be.,..?
[07:58] <nashant> Hey, I'm trying to use xrandr to add a mode of 2560x1440 but I keep getting failed to get gamma errors. Anyone got an idea how to fix this/
[08:05] <aschildbach> Hi everyone!
[08:21] <arcsky> i have some class mates on my server. how can i disable so they cant do ls /home/arcsky ?
[08:25] <TheNumb> arcsky: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/user-management.html
[08:25] <snkcld> when i have a full screen app in a workspace, but then move to another space, the full screen app minimizes
[08:25] <snkcld> any way i can prevent that from happening?
[08:25] <TheNumb> arcsky: "User Profile Security"
[08:25] <TheNumb> arcsky: you're welcome.
[08:25] <Woodrag> how can i decide to run postgresql as another user under ubuntu
[08:25] <TheNumb> Woodrag: probably need to modify the init script.
[08:25] <TheNumb> If you want to start is using upstart.
[08:26] <Woodrag> TheNumb: /etc/init.d/postgresql ?
[08:29] <danfruehauf> So, one of our servers got compromised
[08:29] <danfruehauf> And I decided to come here and try and brainstorm with people what might have happened
[08:29] <Ben64> impossible to tell really, format, reinstall, pay more attention to security
[08:29] <danfruehauf> 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] <danfruehauf> Na na, hold on mate
[08:29] <danfruehauf> The server is gone
[08:29] <danfruehauf> I'm trying to understand the attack vector
[08:30] <aschildbach> I wonder has anyone upgraded to Vivid RC and like me cannot switch to the correct keyboard layout any more?
[08:30] <Flannel> aschildbach: You'd want to ask in #ubuntu+1
[08:30] <Ben64> danfruehauf: yeah, and i'm telling you its not worth it and you can't trust anything on it
[08:30] <danfruehauf> Interestingly I've found this in auth.log: http://paste.fedoraproject.org/212183/92594261/
[08:30] <aschildbach> Ah thanks, Ill switch to that channel
[08:31] <danfruehauf> Ben64, I think the attacked is a bit slack, and I'm not trusting much on that image
[08:31] <Snak3> hi
[08:31] <danfruehauf> The thing is that I do not believe he managed to login via SSH as it's only key logins and probably didn't manage to get in via HTTP
[08:31] <TheNumb> danfruehauf: which services was it running btw?
[08:32] <Ben64> danfruehauf: so format... reinstall... pay more attention to security...
[08:32] <Snak3> is it possible to have light in mousepad
[08:32] <Snak3> (text editor)
[08:32] <TheNumb> light?
[08:32] <TheNumb> what do you mean?
[08:32] <danfruehauf> TheNumb, Strictly only SSH and apache, it's running ubuntu 12.04
[08:32] <danfruehauf> Anything else - closed
[08:32] <Snak3> yeah in css if i forget a "}" i want an alert visual with red color
[08:33] <anon_> hey guys im really excited!
[08:33] <nashant> Hey, I'm getting xrandr errors of failed to get gamma when trying to addmode 2560x1440
[08:33] <danfruehauf> Ben64, I understand what you're saying, but if I don't understand the attack vector, chances are more of my servers will be compromised shortly
[08:33] <Ben64> danfruehauf: if that log can be trusted, they logged in at console, so physically
[08:33] <TheNumb> yeah
[08:33] <danfruehauf> Ben64, Because they are running exactly the same and they are fully patched
[08:33] <TheNumb> Snak3: I'm not sure if it support syntax highlighting.
[08:34] <Ben64> but the logs can't be trusted, so the whole thing is worthless
[08:34] <danfruehauf> 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] <TheNumb> danfruehauf: maybe the host is compromised
[08:34] <TheNumb> Have you checked that?
[08:34] <danfruehauf> TheNumb, The hypervisor you mean?
[08:34] <Snak3> TheNumb,:/
[08:34] <TheNumb> yes
[08:34] <danfruehauf> Yeah, I have no control of the hypervisor
[08:34] <danfruehauf> It's running in a different university by different people
[08:35] <danfruehauf> They just told me "your host is compromised", here is the VM dump
[08:35] <danfruehauf> I suspected it's a bit bigger than that
[08:35] <Ben64> get a better host
[08:35] <TheNumb> Snak3: maybe it only supports *some* languages.
[08:35] <danfruehauf> And I think I can alert them about it, no?
[08:35] <danfruehauf> Ben64, I'm working also on that, we're .edu :)
[08:35] <Ben64> i don't really see how speculation is on topic here though
[08:35] <TheNumb> danfruehauf: which host btw?
[08:35] <TheNumb> Ben64: yeah, that too :<
[08:35] <danfruehauf> TheNumb, They are running some openstack and crap. It's complete bullcrap, but I have to put up with that
[08:36] <danfruehauf> Put it this way, I wouldn't be surprised if the hypervisor is compromised
[08:36] <TheNumb> well, openstack is really great if you know how to manage that.
[08:37] <danfruehauf> These guys there, are... meh
[08:37] <TheNumb> danfruehauf: I think this discussion fits #ubuntu-offtopic better.
[08:37] <danfruehauf> Anyway, I think that's good enough
[08:38] <danfruehauf> Thanks for listening
[08:41] <Woodrag> how do i run postgresql as another user ?
[08:44] <BriskBard_usuari> hi
[08:51] <mircx1> Hello i need please help about error i get from ubuntu 10.04
[08:52] <mircx1> i try install something and i get error this my error http://pastebin.com/sFDiS8uh
[08:52] <mircx1> if someone can please tell to me what i need to install
[08:54] <xrfang> how to inform a program run through ssh to quit when the ssh connection break?
[08:54] <ebonics> xrfang, is the program a daemon
[08:54] <mircx1> someone?
[08:55] <arcsky> i did chmod -R 700 /home/user and now all files are green
[08:56] <xrfang> ebonics: the program I want to run is php -S, i.e. PHP internal web server
[08:57] <xrfang> if you run it on command line it will not return and prompt you to press Ctrl-C to quit
[08:58] <ebonics> xrfang, since it's not a daemon it will close by itself when you exit your ssh client
[08:58] <xrfang> ebonics: no it does not
[08:58] <geoaxis> hello, any one running snappy on raspberry pi
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> xrfang  if you work with ssh alot, consider using 'screen' ... it's a terminale layer you can interrupt, with interrupting the running command, e.g. ssh
[08:59] <xrfang> the command line I run is like: ssh -p 39101 -L 8080:localhost:2651 xrfang@192.168.68.66 /usr/local/bin/adminer.sh
[08:59] <xrfang> adminer.sh is a shell script runs the php db management interface
[09:00] <xrfang> MonkeyDust, will screen help to kill remote process when ssh quit?
[09:02] <MonkeyDust> xrfang  not sure, but you could try to add a line in adminer.sh, so it quits, when the ssh connection quits
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> xrfang  or write a small script, that makes adminer.sh quits, when the ssh connection quits
[09:05] <ebonics> xrfang, it would probably help if you show the adminer.sh code
[09:06] <MonkeyDust> (i'm not a coder myself, i can make simple bash scripts, that's all)
[09:13] <xrfang> ebonics, the script is very simple:
[09:13] <xrfang>   1 #!/bin/bash
[09:13] <xrfang>   2 php -S localhost:2651 /usr/local/bin/adminer-4.2.1-en.php

[09:30] <geirha> ah they have their own official apt repo. Good.
[09:30] <ZadYree> I've got a problem with any usb mouse I am trying to use on my laptop: it doesn't work at all and produces some kind of core dump: http://hastebin.com/osegeqezij.md
[09:30] <ZadYree> (in the dmesg)
[09:33] <N0Lif3> does the official Ubuntu installer work like a live cd or is it just an installer? I know Linux Mint's installation disc is a live cd
[09:33] <ZadYree> Is it common?
[09:33] <DJones> N0Lif3: Its a live dvd/usb
[09:34] <N0Lif3> DJones, does Ubuntu's sidebar behave like Windows 7 taskbar? Can it be modified to act that way? In Win7, you launch programs by clicking the program icon and the icon becomes a tab for that program.
[09:35] <N0Lif3> I played around with that in Linux Mint and there is a plugin for the toolbar that makes it like Win7's taskbar, but it doesn't have all the features and polish that Win7's taskbar has for it
[09:35] <N0Lif3> and thanks, I will try it out.
[09:36] <N0Lif3> Linux Mint with Cinnamon, specifically
[09:38] <aschildbach> I noticed the --all option is gone from dpkg-reconfigure. Whats the replacement? I want to reconfigure all packages because I suspect my configuration is broken after an update.
[09:38] <mijkoo> hello all, I cannot create gnupg keys via seahorse, can you help me please? also there are other strange things with keyfiles
[09:40]  * rasul slap sahar
[09:41] <N0Lif3> I'm really curious to know if I can make Ubuntu or another distro more like Windows 7 than in Mint. I just really like how Win7's taskbar operates.
[09:41] <N0Lif3> http://a.pomf.se/ghggxx.webm
[09:42] <N0Lif3> a little video showing how I modified linux mint to look like win7, pretty close
[09:43] <SomeT> so my college is asking me to use Ubuntu with NAT setup on the network, I already have the internet running on it via my network by setting the proxy as automatic (as I do with other devices in my house) am I right to think that NAT as already been setup?
[09:52] <explodes> Alright i'll chat from this comp
[09:53] <SomeT> if I have ubuntu on virtual box, I type ifconfig on internal network, it only shows external IP address not internal ip address e.g. 192.168.0 etc...
[09:53] <aschildbach> How can I reconfigure all packages?
[09:55] <explodes> SomeT: I think if you're using a bridge, that is correct IIRC
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> aschildbach  try   dpkg -a --configure
[09:56] <aschildbach> MonkeyDust: it doesnt REconfigure
[09:56] <aschildbach> it just configures packages that are not configured yet
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> aschildbach  scroll down http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/dpkg-reconfigure.8.html
[09:57] <aschildbach> yeah but --all was removed from dpkg-reconfigure
[09:59] <aschildbach> MonkeyDust: dpkg-reconfigure -? doesnt show the --all option any more
[09:59] <MonkeyDust> aschildbach  works fine here, just tried (but interrupted)
[09:59] <mijkoo> hello all, I cannot create gnupg keys via seahorse, can you help me please? also there are other strange things with keyfiles
[10:00] <aschildbach> MonkeyDust:  What OS version are you on?
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> aschildbach  14.04.2
[10:00] <explodes> If I boot up into FreesDOS, can I "run" an .img under the boot> prompt somehow?
[10:00] <aschildbach> MonkeyDust: ok so it was removed in later versions
[10:00] <aschildbach> Ill try to get an answer from ubuntuplus1
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> aschildbach  yes, it's #ubuntu+1
[10:01] <aschildbach> MonkeyDust: problem is nobody is there
[10:04] <explodes> ok, someone said "if the .iso is not a hybrid, you cannot boot it off of USB" where do i read/what do i search to find out more about "hybrid"
[10:04] <xrfang> thanks MonkeyDust
[10:04] <SomeT> nobody here?
[10:04] <SomeT> you do know people generally take a while to respond on irc
[10:04] <SomeT> have some patience :)

[10:51] <ybl> Hi, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on a xen Hypervisor AWS instance. I have a django REST server, serving at port 80, which I can access from 54.x.x.x:80 from the outside world. But my ejabberd server on port 5280 I can't access it from another machine. How do I expose it to the outside world. ( it works fine as I can access it from localhost:5280 using w3m)
[10:52] <somsip> ybl: have you opened it on your security group? This is offtopic for here by the way
[10:54] <ybl> Sorry, but I am really in a fix, and the guys on #xen are not active. Can you explain me a bit elaboratly ? Or maybe help me with pm ?
[10:54] <ybl> somsip: ^
[10:54] <somsip> ybl: you need to research more. Official docs http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-network-security.html

[11:12] <Billias> hi guys
[11:12] <Billias> anybody experienced with preseed (partitioning)
[11:13] <mircx1> i have good news for you my friend this ok now

[11:14] <Billias> using preseed
[11:15] <somsip> Jeroen1: check /etc/mysql/error.log to see what the problem is

[11:19] <Thesaurus> Is there a way to force a resolution (say 640x480 or 800x600) on unbutu gnome during a live CD boot?  I have an Nvidia NVS 4200M which locks up with nouveau drivers.  It's hard to install the distro and get to installing the proprietary drivers before my GPU locks up.
[11:19] <somsip> Jeroen1: did you read it?
[11:19] <Jeroen1> Yes, but says nothing to me.
[11:19] <Farioko> Can I force Ubuntu to install on a MBR partition table?
[11:19] <somsip> Jeroen1: InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool
[11:19] <cfhowlett> Farioko, you can ... but should you?
[11:20] <cfhowlett> Thesaurus, nomodeset
[11:20] <Farioko> cfhowlett: the bios didn't find any parition to boot from after installation
[11:20] <Jeroen1> Yeah somsip, I was Googling that. ;)
[11:20] <cfhowlett> Farioko, are you saying there IS a partition that bios doesn't see?
[11:21] <Farioko> chezzo_: yes
[11:21] <Jeroen1> I should change innodb_buffer_pool_size to a higher number?
[11:21] <Farioko> cfhowlett: yes
[11:22] <mijkoo> 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] <somsip> 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] <cfhowlett> Farioko, force MBR is you must
[11:23] <Thesaurus> is there a way to get nomodeset into the grub boot line before a gnome LiveCD starts?
[11:23] <Farioko> cfhowlett: how?
[11:23] <k1l> mijkoo: changed from 12.04 version 3.2 to 14.04 version 3.10
[11:23] <cfhowlett> Thesaurus, you can invoke grub during the gnome boot up and pass the nomodeset options
[11:24] <Thesaurus> pageup pagedown? I just see the keyboard=human icon and then I'm booting into the live CD
[11:24] <Thesaurus> not sure when my window of chance is
[11:25] <OerHeks> Thesaurus, when you are at the poit: try or install, hit F6
[11:25] <mijkoo> k1l, yes, I say the same. it wasnt like this in 12.04. I see a different keyfile name on gui than the one in folder.
[11:25] <OerHeks> *point
[11:25] <cfhowlett> Thesaurus, f6 for special options
[11:25] <mijkoo> and I cannot change it
[11:25] <Thesaurus> ok thank you very much will give that a try
[11:25] <kDycu> I'm having a persistent issue with the sound not working on my 14.04 ubuntu desktop on boot. It appears to be system wide, and it
[11:26] <kDycu> *it'll usually fix itself if reboot a couple of times
[11:26] <kDycu> any ideas where to start?
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> kDycu  in a terminal, type     alsamixer     do you see something disturbing? MM means mute
[11:28] <kDycu> currently the sound is working, so I don't know if that'd produce any interesting results
[11:29] <kDycu> not sure how to deliberately break it, unfortunately.
[11:31] <kDycu> was mostly wondering if anyone had any insight/prior knowledge of an ongoing problem similar to this
[11:32] <kDycu> if it were just for me, I'd work around the sound issue by restarting until it worked, but it's in service to a bunch of non-tech people
[11:32] <mulga> would anyone care to suggest a good introductory lvl book ok Linux Admin / Networking - O'Reilly publishing comes to mind??

[11:34] <kam270> now 14.04 desktop has the option  during install to set up LVM . However there are not decent  GUI tools
[11:35] <kam270> i think this is urgent as desktop users will come from windows knowing of "previous versions "

[11:40] <OerHeks> kam270, tool works fine.
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> kam270  true, the comment here states, that it doenst work anymore in "ubuntu 14", testing now myself
[11:41] <OerHeks> ..
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> kam270  on the other hand, lvm is usually used  for servers, without gui
[11:44] <kam270> MonkeyDust,  yeah but im on a laptop  and want to be able to get back to a working system .
[11:44] <MonkeyDust> kam270  i have to follow OerHeks , works fine here
[11:45] <kam270> there are several reviews in the software center saying it doesnt work in 14.04
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> kam270  maybe patches heve been applied, since those remarks
[11:47] <kam270> Ok I will try again

[11:48] <Ajacobsson> does anyone know how to set up openssh to allow a connection to localhost without password authentication in as few lines as possible?
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> Ajacobsson  add a RSA key
[11:50] <OerHeks> Ajacobsson, sure, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring and see the part 'Disable Password Authentication'which requires shh keys
[11:50] <OerHeks> *ssh keys
[11:53] <Ajacobsson> well, I've managed to screw that up somehow. "permission denied (pubkey)" is what I get when I try to ssh to the localhost after putting the pub key in authorized_keys. the private key can just stay in the .ssh-directory, right?
[11:54] <Ajacobsson> gonna start over from scratch and see if I cant get it to work this time
[11:54] <OerHeks> Ajacobsson, did you make ssh keys on the target machine?
[11:54] <Ajacobsson> yeah there's only one machine

[11:56] <kDycu> when open alsamixer I get a "This sound device does not have any controls."
[11:56] <kDycu> ideas?
[11:56] <dreuge> anyone know what might be going on?
[11:56] <Ajacobsson> OerHeks: Im experimenting with a software called ansible in which I am to generate config templates for cisco switches/routers, but in order to do that ansible must be allowed to ssh to localhost without a password prompt
[11:58] <kam270> MonkeyDust, Im getting an error. It crashes on start up : http://paste.ubuntu.com/10838165/
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> Ajacobsson  consider using vagrant, it's a command that helps you ssh to pre-configured virtualbox machines, so your own machine is safe http://www.vagrantbox.es/ and http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/boxes.html
[11:59] <Ajacobsson> MonkeyDust: thank you
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> kam270  i'm not familiar enough with it, to give useful advice on that error
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> Ajacobsson  and find plenty introducing vagrant clips on youtube
[12:02] <kam270> MonkeyDust, ok I have website that suggest a solution , will try and let  you know
[12:03] <MonkeyDust> kam270  ok, hope you can solve the issue

[12:18] <Jeroen1> Hi there, I can start my mysql database because of too low memory. How can I fix this? It has worked for months but something has changed that is giving problems now. How could I fix that. Does anyone have a clue?
[12:19] <svetlana> check your logs
[12:20] <ioria> nalum try to check  it... (you can revert it)
[12:20] <nalum> ioria: just tried that and it keeps going from checked to partially checked
[12:21] <nalum> I'm assuming the Source Code checkbox in Software & Updates is what you are referring to
[12:21] <ioria> nalum no Synaptic
[12:22] <nalum> ah okay, will look at that now
[12:22] <svetlana> Jeroen1: if you check your logs and share the text of the error message yo get, someone might be able to give you more detailed help. there is a optimize table command in mysql which makes the database more compact.
[12:23] <Jeroen1> which log svetlana ?
[12:24] <svetlana> Jeroen1: mysql's log.
[12:24] <Jeroen1> http://pastebin.com/mYtUX62b
[12:24] <Jeroen1> Posted this one earlier :)
[12:25] <svetlana> (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mYtUX62b is the same but without ads)
[12:25] <loa> Jeroen1, what version of mysql you have?
[12:25]  * svetlana looks
[12:25] <nalum> ioria: where is the sources checkbox?
[12:25] <Jeroen1> I don't know loa :p
[12:26] <ioria> nalum Settings - Repositories
[12:26] <Jeroen1> can't check it too as I cannot get into the database.
[12:26] <svetlana> Jeroen1, "[ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB" is not the same as it running out of memory. I would say you have to speak with loa and I personally would do a web search for this error.
[12:26] <nalum> that's the software & updates app I was in
[12:27] <Jeroen1> mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.40, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3
[12:27] <loa> Jeroen1, maybe it is not mysql?
[12:27] <loa> and you have another memory monster on your server?
[12:28] <Jeroen1> I don't know loa. Someone just told me to check the mysql.
[12:28] <ioria> nalum Synaptic Package Manager ? and you can't check "source code" ?
[12:28] <Jeroen1> Look
[12:28] <loa> try investigate you memory usage.
[12:28] <somsip> 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] <svetlana> oh! missed that one. sorry.
[12:28] <Jeroen1> http://pastebin.com/BMrb3Xp0
[12:28] <Jeroen1> Top returns:
[12:29] <nalum> 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] <nalum> 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] <Jeroen1> loa, any Idea what I could od?
[12:33] <ioria> nalum i just installed it without issue
[12:35] <somsip> Jeroen1: your innodb_buffers are set too high for the memory you have. That is outside the scope of the support provided here. You need to research more yourself, or ask in #mysql.

[13:11] <john_doe_jr> how do I create a system user in ubuntu…is there any difference between a system user and a normal user?
[13:11] <authorized> hey is Ubuntu a good start for Windows switchers?
[13:12] <Pici> john_doe_jr: iirc, the only difference is that system users have a uid below 1000.
[13:13] <sipior> 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] <john_doe_jr> sipior: yes
[13:13] <authorized> hey is Ubuntu a good start for Windows switchers?
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> authorized  yes, create a live usb or dvd and try it
[13:14] <sipior> john_doe_jr: you can simply add the user to the sudo group
[13:15] <john_doe_jr> sipior: almost thanks
[13:16] <sipior> john_doe_jr: you're...uh...almost welcome?
[13:18] <MonkeyDust> be almost nice to each other

[13:22] <MonkeyDust> runda  learn it like you learned windows: by using it
[13:22] <hkrrsx> runda: Explore and enjoy
[13:23] <kj4> runda: never look back.  One day you will feel more 'at home' with linux than windows, and not regret that move
[13:24] <runda> I've just been messing around with everything
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> runda  and learning new stuff *can* be frustrating, but it'll pass
[13:24] <runda> hell this is my first foray into IRC
[13:29] <kj4> runda: welcome!  linux is a completely different experience, takes some effort, but pays off tenfold.

[13:41] <ilithium> Hey guys. 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] <cn28h> you could possibly boot a live cd or a rescue cd and mount the system to fix it
[13:44] <ilithium> cn28h: thanks; I'll give that a go with a USB key - neither machine has a CD drive in it
[13:44] <dawnson> 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] <cn28h> sure, yeah same idea
[13:44] <hkrrsx> 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] <cn28h> if you can bring the system up and mount it, then you can chroot into it
[13:45] <ilithium> Yes of course
[13:45] <ilithium> 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

[13:51] <chele> 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] <chele> tiple nameservers in my resolv.conf?

[13:53] <hkrrsx> chele: /join #bind and/or /join #dns
[13:53] <teward> chele: put your nameserver that is local ahead of the other nameservers - potentially in the head file
[13:53] <teward> hkrrsx: that's a resolvconf question, not a bind question
[13:53] <teward> it's still valid here

[13:54] <sam[cOe]> Hi
[13:54] <sam[cOe]> I need help on terminator terminal
[13:55] <sam[cOe]> I try to work with : zsh, alias, terminator, custom panel
[13:56] <sam[cOe]> all it's ok .. but .. when I play with custom command with alias terminator says "zsh:1: command not found:"
[13:56] <chele> 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] <teward> chele: ping requests aren't dns requests, based on your initial question, what exactly are you expecting to happen?
[13:58] <chele> I expect the ping request to work based on domain names where dns requests are involved.
[13:58] <teward> chele: so you provide `ping some.domain.tld` and you are not getting DNS requests that you're expecting?
[14:00] <chele> teward, I am not getting dns requests to the correct server. Therefore not correct dns answer.
[14:00] <teward> chele: are you trying to get information that your bind9 server is authoritative for and that also another domain is authoritative for?
[14:02] <chele> 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] <chele> So I cannot have to dns name servers in my resolv.conf as only works the first one on the file.

[14:03] <grishzakyan> hello erevybody
[14:04] <grishzakyan> everybody!
[14:06] <Pumpkin-_> 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] <chele> 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.
[14:13] <sam[cOe]> nobody  ?
[14:18] <Pici> sam[cOe]: Its hard to troubleshoot when you haven't told us what commands you are actually typing.
[14:26] <traverse> I think I found a problem with how dash handles something, that other shells seem to get right.  Would anyone mind verifying?
[14:26] <m1xm4ster> clear
[14:28] <m1xm4ster> 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] <traverse> I think dash mishandles the following case:  "tail -f $somefile | $some_nonexistant_program"
[14:30] <traverse> Other shells will correctly report: "$some_nonexistant_program: command not found"
[14:30] <traverse> Dash will leave 'tail' hanging in an unkillable (from that shell) state.
[14:31] <traverse>  ^C, ^Z, ^\, etc will not kill tail, you have to do it from another shell
[14:31] <traverse> Thus far the other shells I've tested (real bash, zsh, /bin/sh, etc.) handle that case correctly.
[14:36] <mijkoo> hello, what is the disadvantage ( or lost advantage) of running 32-bit OS on an 64-bit machine with sufficient ram?
[14:37] <k1l> dont run 32bit OS if that hardware can use 64bit
[14:37] <sam[cOe]> Pici,  terminator sucks .. ^^^
[14:38] <dawnson> k1l: why? :p
[14:38] <mijkoo> k1l, yes
[14:38] <mijkoo> that is my query, too
[14:38] <dawnson> mijkoo: 64bit software would perform a bit better and in most cases there is nothing against using 64 bit
[14:38] <dawnson> the question should rather be: why use 32 bit software?
[14:39] <mijkoo> dawnson, so it makes the machine underperform?
[14:39] <k1l> mijkoo: yes
[14:40] <dawnson> 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] <dawnson> im just curious why you would want to use 32 bit software
[14:41] <mijkoo> oh, ok, so no detectable difference..like not faster, more things to do together..
[14:41] <loa> sse3 and ssse3 are 64bit insructions?
[14:42] <loa> or can be used in 32bit code too?
[14:42] <dawnson> 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] <dawnson> loa: both are 32bit afaik
[14:43] <dawnson> ssse3 is from 2006 anyways :D
[14:43] <k1l> 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] <loa> dawnson, it was introduced in xeons and intel core 2
[14:44] <dawnson> and atoms
[14:44] <k1l> 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] <loa> dunno.
[14:44] <dawnson> and there are 32 bit atoms and core 2 CPUs
[14:44] <loa> ok.
[14:44] <dawnson> but i dont know if they support ssse3
[14:44] <dawnson> k1l: yes, but efi is not 64 bit only :D
[14:44] <k1l> some small (old) atoms are the reason why ubuntu still gives out 32bit isos for desktop.
[14:45] <k1l> dawnson: its not, but manufacturers handle it like that since windows prefers 64bit too
[14:45] <k1l> so as conclusion: dont install 32bit OS.
[14:45] <dawnson> yes, thats why i keep asking why he _wants_ to run a 32 bit OS
[14:46] <dawnson> i am all for 64 bit when it makes sense but maybe he has a valid reason
[14:48] <mijkoo> no, I was just trying to know..thank you for all your hints.
[14:49] <ntz> hello
[14:49] <ntz> one my customer have this (weird) os and he's reporting, that he has a problems with connecting to the vlan ... I've found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/vlan
[14:50] <ntz> ^^ but there's no NM mentioned .... is NM/wicd (whatever is in ubuntu) VLANs compliant ?
[15:07] <Kully3xf> looking for ideas guys - need to get ubuntu 14 onto my desktop, only have a 1gb flash drive a 1tb external hd, and large dual layer dvd's
[15:08] <Kully3xf> I have ubuntu 8.04 on the DT now, and it's not updated so I can't update the iso burner
[15:08] <Kully3xf> as it's out of date
[15:08] <Kully3xf> best way to update to 14?
[15:08] <k1l> Kully3xf: reinstall. is fastest.
[15:08] <Kully3xf> that's what I'm trying to do, but I have no media for 140
[15:08] <Kully3xf> 14*
[15:09] <Kully3xf> I can't burn the ISO to disc, I don't have a thumb drive big enough
[15:09] <k1l> Kully3xf: you could use the server iso that fits on 1gb usb pendrive and install "ubuntu-desktop" afterwards
[15:09] <k1l> Kully3xf: or use the netinstall method
[15:09] <Kully3xf> BAm
[15:09] <Kully3xf> good idea
[15:09] <k1l> !netinstall
[15:09] <Kully3xf> thanks
[15:09] <somsip> !minimal | k1l
[15:09] <somsip> k1l: sorry - meant for Kully3xf
[15:10] <Kully3xf> somsip: thanks! got it
[15:10] <psyrus> hai!
[15:10] <somsip> Kully3xf: cool - just another possible solution for you
[15:10] <Kully3xf> yep. doing minimal right now - exactly what I needed. Big ups
[15:10] <somsip> Kully3xf: my personal preference too :)
[15:10] <ZadYree> I've got a problem with any usb mouse I am trying to use on my laptop: it doesn't work at all and produces some kind of core dump: http://hastebin.com/osegeqezij.md
[15:20] <OerHeks> ZadYree, does that laptop have a FN key + touchpad/external mouse
[15:20] <ZadYree> OerHeks, yes sir
[15:22] <OerHeks> ZadYree, if that does not solve it, plug it in a non-USB3 port
[15:25] <ZadYree> OerHeks, now I am getting this: http://hastebin.com/sayusibaye.md
[15:25] <ZadYree> So it seems to work a bit better ^^
[15:25] <ZadYree> still lsusb doesn't show it
[15:26] <ioria> ZadYree did you connect the mouse after boot  or before ?
[15:27] <ZadYree> after
[15:27] <ioria> ZadYree try before
[15:27] <ZadYree> should I try a reboot with it?
[15:27] <ZadYree> ok

[16:03] <ceed^> I'm wiping Windows and installing Ubuntu on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Should I use legacy boot or should I do UEFI?
[16:03] <dansanger> Hello I have a basic question about routing in ubuntu 12.04
[16:03] <daftykins> ceed^: doesn't matter either way really
[16:04] <CJKay> ceed^: UEFI is stable now, there's little reason not to use it
[16:05] <ceed^> CJKay, if I choose UEFI I still wipe everything off the disk and do not have to add any partition other than the ones I need for Ubuntu?
[16:06] <adef> install with grub key nomodeset
[16:06] <daftykins> ceed^: to remove the remnants of Windows 8 i'd recommend you "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M count=50" from the liveUSB prior to installing
[16:07] <CJKay> ceed^: Sorry, I don't understand your question... or statement
[16:07] <Bl4ckD34Th> hi, when will be released ubuntu 15.04?
[16:07] <Bl4ckD34Th> what date, who know...please answer
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Bl4ckD34Th, next thursday
[16:08] <Bl4ckD34Th> OMG...thank you
[16:08] <Bl4ckD34Th> i love ubuntu, i use ubuntu for some years now
, 23 april
[16:08] <Bl4ckD34Th> best gnu/linux distro ever made
[16:10] <sipior> ceed^: if you go for UEFI, you'll need to ensure that your partition table is GPT. you'll also need to make a new EFI boot partition.
[16:11] <dansanger> Hello, I have a server in openvpn and two clients. In the server I can see the clients an its LAN but in each other clients I can see the LANs. Can I to route the IP LAN in the server such way I can see the LAN in each other clients?
[16:16] <sipior> ceed^: actually, looks like you can still use an msdos label, if you have to. see here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/500359/efi-boot-partition-and-biosgrub-partition

[16:23] <Islam> hello?
[16:23] <TheNumb> !patience | Islam
[16:23] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: could you try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a     please?
[16:24] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: probably somehow the initial configuration of the mysql server  (user, password etc.) got skipped
[16:24] <sipior> Islam: it would probably be useful if you gave us a specific description of the problem.
[16:24] <Fuchs> (or, probably better, sudo dpkg-reconfigure NameOfThePackageHere)

[16:26] <damex> hello, is there python3 + pip available for ubuntu 14.04 from official repos?
[16:26] <sipior> fls
[16:26] <sipior> apologies.
[16:26] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: thus either   sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5   or, no ubuntu at paw to test,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[16:26] <somsip> damex: python3 is installed by default.
[16:26] <Islam> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10839480/
[16:26] <damex> somsip, what about pip?
[16:27] <Frumpzula> Can anyone help me with using date function inside a linux cron from crontab? I can use file name database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y'`.sql.gz when running a mysqldump from the command line, but when I put that into the cron, it does not run.
[16:27] <Frumpzula> tu

[16:28] <damex> i will do next install using ubuntu 14.04. instead of other distros.
[16:28] <damex> thx.
[16:28] <damex> (not for myself, for other people)
[16:28] <somsip> damex: look for /usr/bin/python3 and set up your shebang to use that. Leave python linking to python2.7 as that runs system stuff
[16:28] <MasterGberry> Fuchs:  /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: mysql-server is broken or not fully installed
[16:29] <Islam> did anybody see my msg?
[16:29] <Fuchs> MasterGberry:   sudo apt-get -f install    and then  sudo dpgk-reconfigure -a
[16:29] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: both should complain if there is something broken, with hints on what to do now. You didn't use PPAs by chance, did you?
[16:30] <Islam> here is my problem installing wine "http://paste.ubuntu.com/10839480/"
[16:30] <Islam> can I get help with that?

[16:30] <Frumpzula> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29702979/variable-date-not-working-in-linux-cron - Ubuntu cron question I posted on stack.. Any help would be amazing!!!
[16:30] <somsip> Islam: so where are you getting version 1.4 form?
[16:31] <Islam> I dont know I tried to install it on sw center
[16:31] <somsip> Frumpzula: pull path to date required?
[16:31] <MasterGberry> Fuchs:  i'm new to ubuntu, what is a PPA?
[16:31] <somsip> Islam: what version of ubuntu?
[16:31] <SchrodingersScat> !ppa | MasterGberry
[16:31] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: third party repository, unofficial
[16:32] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: but in this case probably you didn't, unless you followed some shady tutorials
[16:32] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: did you try the two commands I gave you?
[16:32] <MasterGberry> Possible that my work has something setup...but I just ran "sudo apt-get install mysql-server"
[16:32] <MasterGberry> yeah both still spitting out the same errors about something being misconfig'd
[16:33] <Islam> somsip: do you know what my problem is?
[16:34] <Islam> somsip: ubuntu 12.4
[16:34] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: could you paste these errors in a pastebin, please?
[16:34] <MasterGberry> sure, sec
[16:35] <Islam> somsip: I have ubuntu 12.04 lts
[16:35] <somsip> Islam: no, sorry
[16:36] <Islam> somsip: so I just can't install wine?
[16:36] <Islam> is there any other tools to run exe files ?
[16:36] <MasterGberry> Fuchs:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10839531/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/10839538/
[16:37] <somsip> Islam: have patience and wait for a wine expert. I'm not one and I'm done for the night. Good luck
[16:37] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: okay, can you please give me an   apt-cache policy mysql-server     in a pastebin please?
[16:38] <Islam> somsip; thanx alot, and I'm so sorry I'm kinda new to this
[16:38] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: and a sudo grep mysql /etc/passwd       (you can leave out the password hash, I am not interested in that, only whether it exists)
[16:39] <TheNumb> Islam: are you trying to install "wine" or "wine1.4"?
[16:40] <Islam> TheNumb: any thing that I can install exe apps on :)
[16:40] <TheNumb> Islam: how do you install the package then? What command?
[16:40] <TheNumb> sudo apt-get install wine?
[16:40] <SchrodingersScat> Islam: I'm not sure what's going on either, but you could try removing it with apt-get then try to install with apt-get and see if you get any further.
[16:40] <Islam> TheNumb: I'm trying to install it on ubuntu sw center
[16:40] <MasterGberry> Fuchs:  https://gist.github.com/mastergberry/d7621bd092150a60ae77
[16:40] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: if the user doesn't exist, one just has to create it  (sudo adduser mysql)  and maybe adapt some permissions  (sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql)   and then re-run   sudo apt-get -f install
[16:41] <ekh> Hello. I am trying to do a fresh installation of ubuntu (virtual box) however I am getting this http://snag.gy/E8ni2.jpg .. I would google it if I knew what that stupid random color is called :P
[16:41] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: yeah, that is not the official mysql package you are using there
[16:41] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: I assume it could be fixed with the above: creating said user, adapting permissions and re-running -f install, but with an unofficial package chances are that people won't be able to give you decent support
[16:42] <loa> ekh, cool.
[16:43] <ekh> loa: Any idea what caused that? or at least what that is so I can google it?
[16:43] <uugeepilvi> Hey
[16:43] <MasterGberry> guess I will have to contact IT and ask whats going on with their unofficial packages
[16:43] <MasterGberry> is there some way for me to force use the real packages?
[16:43] <loa> ekh, no idea sorry, you can try different ubuntu isos
[16:44] <ekh> cool thanks
[16:44] <uugeepilvi> Just got new pc and now Im trying to install ubuntu 14.04.2 on it from usb. Usb boots as it should and window where I can choose to install ubuntu or try ubuntu without installation opens but when I choose “install ubuntu” nothing happens after that except screen goes black. Where the problem might be?
[16:46] <Fuchs> MasterGberry: there is, but I wouldn't recommend it
[16:46] <Fuchs> 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] <Fuchs> 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] <Fuchs> 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] <Islam> SchrodingersScat: is there any other options than wine to install a game?
[16:49] <uugeepilvi> any1?
[16:50] <Frumpzula> Can `date '+%m-%d-%Y'` be used inside a cron? From the command line if I tell mysqldump to use file name database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y'`.sql.gz, it works great.. But that same filename inside the cron breaks what was working prior to adding the date... Any insight?
[16:50] <Islam> TheNumb: I tried the command you suggested but it still dont work
[16:51] <SchrodingersScat> Islam: pick native games, preferably freedom respecting games.
[16:54] <SchrodingersScat> Islam: have you tried apt-get?  the software center could just be doing something odd, but it's better to leave behind software that doesn't respect you
[16:54] <dust> Islam, http://www.playdeb.net/ also http://store.steampowered.com/  and https://www.playonlinux.com/ is in the repo
[16:56] <Islam> dust: I need to install counter strike source is there an easy way to do it?
[16:56] <SchrodingersScat> Islam: that's steam native now
[16:57] <Islam> SchrodingersScat: ok what should I do then?
[16:57] <dust> Islam, with the steam client which is in the repo... that way u get cs:source in native linux version installed
[16:57] <Guest20446> Hi!
[16:57] <SchrodingersScat> !info steam | Islam, sudo apt-get install steam #steam may want to update after this, or you can also get the .deb from steampowered.
[16:58] <Islam> dust: OMG thank you so much, I'm going to do that now !
[16:58] <Islam> dust: I'll try downloading it from the website first
[16:58] <Islam> dust: I guess this should work then
[16:59] <dust> Islam, well better try software center or synaptics and install steam from there
[16:59] <acz32> Islam: i would prefer ubuntu repos over website downloads
[16:59] <acz32> you will get updates through your package manager that way
[16:59] <OerHeks> * enable 3th party Canonical partner repo first
[16:59] <dust> the reason is because then u get sure automatic updates from the repo
[17:00] <Islam> dust: thanx alot for your help I do appreciate it
[17:00] <uugeepilvi> I just got new pc and I'm trying to install ubuntu 14.04.2 on it from live-usb. Usb boots as it should, window where you can choose to install Ubuntu or try it without installation opens but after I choose “Install Ubuntu” nothing happens except screen goes blank. Any suggestions what to do?
[17:00] <dust> urw :)
[17:00] <Islam> acz32: thanx alot for your help I do appreciate it

[17:30] <uugeepilvi> Opened that "menu" by pressing e and then added !nomodeset to the end of the line which starts with words linux vmlinuz
[17:30] <OerHeks> nomodeset, no !nomodeset :-)
[17:31] <OerHeks> that !nomodeset opens the factoid from ubottu
[17:31] <uugeepilvi> ohh ok :D
[17:31] <OerHeks> !ubottu
[17:33] <uugeepilvi> It worked!

[17:36] <raimex> hello all, I have an OS on a 26gb disk, of which 11gb is used. but disk utility shows that only 6gb is free. and in home folder it is shown even less, under 5gb. how could this be?
[17:36] <EriC^^> raimex: type df -h and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com
[17:38] <pc-moon__> hello , i have my pc is hp pavilion 500 series have intel hd 4000 graphics drive how can i make it multi display like in windows  , thank you

[17:42] <gizmo> anyone using virtualbox?
[17:42] <phoenixz> Has support for ubunut 13.04 been discontinued? I wanted to install a package but all sources give me a 404 for some reason....
[17:42] <Guest55608> i am using
[17:42] <EriC^^> phoenixz: yes
[17:43] <gizmo> how do you make it fullscreen
[17:43] <EriC^^> right ctrl+f
[17:43] <gizmo> on osx
[17:45] <OerHeks> gizmo, guest additions, read the osx manual of virtualbox
[17:45] <gizmo> wheres that to Oerheks?
[17:46] <OerHeks> gizmo, dunno, not on the ubuntu wiki.
[17:46] <Runda> anyone have any tips or advice for an ubuntu MATE noob?
[17:46] <gizmo> ok ta
[17:46] <OerHeks> gizmo, virtualbox.org
[17:47] <gizmo> Oerheks: cheers
[17:50] <phoenixz> EriC^^: Argh.. So what are my options from this point on?
[17:51] <EriC^^> you could upgrade to 14.04 if you want, that would be the best
[17:52] <EriC^^> phoenixz: you could still use the old repository, but it's not recommended and you wouldn't have fixes and stuff
[17:58] <raimex> EriC^^ sorry it took a while...here is the output: paste.ubuntu.com/10839930/
[18:01] <EriC^^> raimex: ok, most of the space is in /home (12g)
[18:02] <EriC^^> raimex: type du /home | sort -n
[18:05] <wrouesnel1> is there an accepted way to build a derivative package that only differs by the .debian files?
[18:05] <wrouesnel1> but might have a different name to the original
[18:06] <raimex> EriC^^ it poured out tons of file locations in my folders
[18:07] <neldogz> Is booting off the live CD a good indicator of how well hardware would work under a distribution? For example, I have an older system and tried both Ubuntu and Xubunu but the touchpad stutters and sometimes looses tracking. If it doesn't work well off the live CD can I assume it won't work if its installed to disk?
[18:07] <genii> neldogz: That's pretty much the idea, yes.
[18:07] <neldogz> genii, thank you!
[18:08] <EriC^^> raimex: ok, they should be sorted by size
[18:08] <genii> neldogz: You can try to find the issue is when running the lived, and if a solution is possible, then install to system and apply the solution there after.

[18:10] <raimex> EriC^^ how am I going to get an answer from them?
[18:11] <EriC^^> raimex: if you see any file that's huge and you dont need etc.
[18:11] <oralho> hii
[18:11] <ifancho> hi guys
[18:12] <ifancho> i need some help
[18:12] <oralho> i am new at linuz
[18:12] <oralho> linux
[18:12] <oralho> is possibel any program to crack wifi networks?
[18:12] <pbx> ifancho, dive right in and ask your question, with lots of detail and context
[18:12] <ifancho> :)
[18:12] <pbx> oralho, no such thing exists sorry
[18:13] <oralho> ok
[18:13] <oralho> thanks
[18:13] <raimex> 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.
[18:13] <oralho> just because a friend told me, i was just to confirme
[18:14] <EriC^^> raimex: that could be due to disk usage vs file size
[18:14] <EriC^^> oralho: you can crack anything
[18:14] <oralho> really? yes but how
[18:14] <ifancho> ok. so 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 .... "
[18:15] <oralho> is possible to update to ubuntu with lubuntu?
[18:15] <EriC^^> oralho: not the scope of this channel, and not cool
[18:15] <raimex> EriC^^ yes, nautilus says 11gb used, ~5gb free (and I have a 26gb disk, as I mentioned) disk utility says 6gb of 26gb free
[18:15] <OerHeks> lubuntu=ubuntu
[18:15] <ifancho> 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
[18:16] <raimex> the nautilus data is for my home folder. I wonder why the two differ.
[18:16] <neldogz> genii, thanks again!
[18:16] <raimex> when the difference is like 10gb
[18:16] <mikael_> oralho by a wifi usb card
[18:16] <genii> neldogz: You're welcome
[18:17] <EriC^^> raimex: do you have lots of small files?
[18:17] <oralho> so i can install no pen than upgrade?
[18:17] <oralho> on pen
[18:18] <neldogz> oralho, you can simply install lxde desktop environment
[18:19] <oralho> so i can use unetbootin to make the iso file on the pen
[18:19] <raimex> EriC^^ no, on the contrary, there are a handful
[18:19] <neldogz> oralho, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu
[18:20] <Killfaster> hola
[18:20] <Killfaster> alguien que quieera ahablar
[18:20] <ifugotgrubproble> hello, i got some issues with grub i need quick help with, anyone can help?
[18:20] <raimex> EriC^^ I wonder if I might have downloaded things I havent seen while downloading some files. is it a possibility in this case?
[18:21] <ifugotgrubproble> pretty much i have ubuntu on a partition alongside windos 7, i can boot into windows 7 if i use gparted off the live cd to set the boot flag to the system partition, but it won't show grub at all or the possibility of going into the ubuntu installation
[18:22] <hawa> i have a query... if i was to write a script to put in /usr/bin and that script stores its temporary variable in another file, where should i put another file, the one that stores the variable value?
[18:22] <ifugotgrubproble> if i don't set a boot flag, it won't boot at all
[18:22] <ifugotgrubproble> into either system
[18:22] <neldogz> hawa, /tmp
[18:22] <ifugotgrubproble> i tried setting the boot flag on both the extended partition housing the linux system and the root logical partition but neither works
[18:22] <ifugotgrubproble> i tried loading without a boot flag hoping grub would take over
[18:23] <ifugotgrubproble> anyone got any suggestions?
[18:23] <vagrant_> exit
[18:23] <ifugotgrubproble> or a suggestion as to what channel i should ask in?
[18:24] <oralho> is possible to explain how ca i install to ubuntu?
[18:24] <uugeepilvi> Eric^^ I installed ubuntu but now after restart it wont work, only purple screen appears. I tried to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS as said here: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 but didnt work.
[18:25] <raimex> EriC^^ in other words, could it be any sort of malware that inflates used disk space?
[18:25] <neldogz> oralho, please check the page i sent you
[18:25] <hawa> neldogz, thanks...
[18:25] <neldogz> oralho, http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Ubuntu
[18:25] <EriC^^> uugeepilvi: try getting a tty with ctrl+alt+f1
[18:25] <EriC^^> uugeepilvi: did you try booting with nomodeset?
[18:26] <uugeepilvi> I tried yes
[18:26] <EriC^^> raimex: no idea, check the du list for anything that's taking space up
[18:27] <neldogz> uugeepilvi, did you install anything else besides Ubuntu? For example Nvidia drivers after the installation?
[18:27] <uugeepilvi> There were no drives to install
[18:28] <neldogz> uugeepilvi, it gets stuck always at the purple screen?
 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] <uugeepilvi> 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] <EriC^^> raimex: type du -s /home && du -sb /home
[18:31] <EriC^^> i doubt the difference is that big though
[18:33] <raimex> EriC^^  this one: paste.ubuntu.com/10840106/
[18:34] <mjollnerd1> If I have a /dev/md10 instead of something like /dev/sda does that mean that the hard drive is a SSD/
[18:34] <mjollnerd1> ?*
[18:34] <EriC^^> 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] <faust> mjollnerd1: /dev/md* is for raid
[18:35] <mjollnerd1> so it's raid 10?
[18:35] <uugeepilvi> neldogz, any ideas?
[18:35] <faust> mjollnerd1: it could be anything: cat /proc/mdstat
[18:36] <raimex> 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] <faust> raimex: how did you formatted that partition?
[18:39] <raimex> 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] <raimex> the free space, I mean
[18:40] <OerHeks> raimex, if it could show the exact sizes in bytes, you would see.
[18:41] <Yatekii> 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] <OerHeks> raimex try "df -B1 "
[18:41] <raimex> 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] <raimex> the programs?
[18:44] <raimex> OerHeks, I see 1gb space used by 'tmpfs'..I guess temporary files?
[18:44] <EriC^^> raimex: du /home | sort -n should show you the files and sizes
[18:44] <EriC^^> check the last 10 to see if it makes sense
[18:44] <OerHeks> raimex, the computer folder contains a lot, /boot/ and /var/log/  and such
[18:45] <ifancho> OerHeks , can you help me
[18:45] <raimex> OerHeks, ok
[18:47] <oralho> neldogz says to install by terminal
[18:47] <OerHeks> ifancho, just ask your question, if someone knows the anser he/she will respond
[18:47] <OerHeks> *answer
[18:47] <ifancho> i did nobody answer
[18:48] <ifancho> 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] <ifancho> 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] <OerHeks> !recovery
[18:48] <OerHeks> hold shift @ boot etc
[18:48] <ifancho> cant load id
[18:49] <ifancho> dont know why
[18:49] <raimex> 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] <oralho> to creat a usb image on a pen is better unetbootin? or anothers better?
[18:50] <ifancho> i`m booting , can chose recovery but its not loading
[18:50] <ifancho> i can boot in windows too
[18:52] <EriC^^> raimex: ok, great
[18:53] <raimex> EriC^^ thank you for your help!
[18:54] <raimex> OerHeks, thank you!
[18:54] <EriC^^> raimex: no problem
[18:55] <darko> hi to all
[18:56] <OerHeks> ifancho, not loading .. you should get the commandprompt
[18:56] <darko> 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] <OerHeks> !ppapurge
[18:57] <genii> !ppapurge
[18:57]  * genii slides OerHeks helper snacks
[18:57] <EriC^^> !ppa-purge
[18:57]  * OerHeks shares with EriC^^ 
[18:57] <darko> but I have programs like latest inkscape and dont want to delete ppa for it
[18:57] <EriC^^> :D
[18:58] <tgm4883> darko: read the page
[18:58] <OerHeks> darko, then go into softwarecenter > edit > sources, and disable it there
[18:58] <genii> 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] <OerHeks> but that could be a start of an issue in the future.

[19:06] <OerHeks> pazuzu, likely not.
[19:06] <tirengarfio> the can be executed (+x)
[19:06] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: use crontab -e , and use DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp
[19:06] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, what is crontab -e ?
[19:06] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: it's your user's crontab

[19:09] <faLUCE> hello, is it possible to pipe the skype voice output to some speech recognizer for linux?
[19:09] <uugeepilvi> Nothing happens
[19:09] <ebonics> faLUCE, anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
[19:09] <pazuzu> ms
[19:10] <EriC^^> uugeepilvi: did yuo try booting with nomodeset?
[19:10] <EriC^^> *you
[19:10] <faLUCE> ebonics: I'm searching for a how-to
[19:10] <ebonics> faLUCE, http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/
[19:11] <raimex> just one more question...what is the differencew
[19:11] <raimex> sorry
[19:11] <raimex> what is the difference of selecting primary or logical when creating a partition?
[19:11] <faust> faLUCE: http://www.triplebit.com/images/Cable2.jpg  :D
[19:11] <uugeepilvi> 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] <faLUCE> ebonics: ?
[19:12] <EriC^^> 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] <ebonics> faLUCE, your problem is pretty obscure. i doubt you're going to find pipe-skype-audio-to-voice-recognizer.so
[19:12] <faust> raimex: for linux it doesn't matter, but windows won't start if it is not on a primary partition
[19:12] <ebonics> faLUCE, you will probably need to create your own system with available tools for this
[19:13] <raimex> EriC^^ thank you. dr. faust, thank you, too! :)
[19:13] <raimex> so it doesnt matter which one to select?
[19:13] <faLUCE> ebonics: I see
[19:14] <uugeepilvi> 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] <uugeepilvi> It didnt work
[19:15] <EriC^^> 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] <raimex> I just noticed that I dont have the option to create extended partition during ubuntu install
[19:15] <raimex> there is either primary or logicla
[19:15] <raimex> logical*
[19:15] <tirengarfio> 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] <tirengarfio> Im trying to save the crontab at /etc/cron.daily
[19:15] <tirengarfio> is that correct?
[19:16] <EriC^^> raimex: same thing, extended is just the initial partition that gets divided into logical ones
[19:16] <uugeepilvi> Eric^^, what chroot means? >.>
[19:16] <faust> raimex: logical partitions resides inside an extended partition that take the slot of one primary partition
[19:17] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: no you shouldn't be saving to there
[19:17] <kys_freenode> Hi, I am using xfce and when pluggin in my external harddrive it is mounted without any rights (drwx------). How can I change this?
[19:17] <kys_freenode> I think thunar is responsible for mounting
[19:17] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: type crontab -e , and edit that file then save
[19:17] <EriC^^> !chroot | uugeepilvi
[19:17] <kys_freenode> and its a ntfs partition
[19:17] <faLUCE> 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] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, so where exactly? by default it seems it is saved at "crontab.CIigMF/crontab"
[19:18] <tirengarfio> but what path is that exactly?
[19:18] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: it's in /var/spool/something...
[19:18] <raimex> ah, I see..thank you again! :)
[19:21] <tirengarfio> So my steps are: 1. crontab -e 2. add this line 00 21 * * * /usr/bin/gimp but gimp is not launched..
[19:21] <tirengarfio> 3. save (:w at vim)
[19:21] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp
[19:21] <zerowaitstate> faLUCE: Sphinx, HTK, and Kaldi are a few
[19:22] <faLUCE> zerowaitstate: thanks
[19:22] <genii> tirengarfio: cronjobs which are GUI need to be told where to display the program
[19:24] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, it is not launched yet..:( here it is my file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840338/
[19:25] <tirengarfio> it says it is saved at "/tmp/crontab.7GIP4i/crontab", when I save it (:w)
[19:25] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: did you add it to the crontab of the user you're logged on to?
[19:26] <EriC^^> i just tried it, it works here *shrug*
[19:26] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, I just run "crontab -e" and write it and save it, what else should I check?
[19:26] <EriC^^> type id
[19:27] <EriC^^> before typing crontab -e
[19:27] <tirengarfio> 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] <EriC^^> ok, type crontab -l
[19:27] <tirengarfio> tirenarfio is my user
[19:28] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840359/
[19:29] <EriC^^> ok type echo $DISPLAY
[19:29] <uugeepilvi> Eric^^ what kind of chroot should I do and how? Im too newbie for this >.<
[19:29] <tirengarfio> it outputs :0
[19:30] <EriC^^> type tail /var/log/syslog
[19:30] <EriC^^> does it say CRON DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp ?
[19:30] <tirengarfio> no
[19:31] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: type crontab -e and add * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/gimp
[19:31] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, don't worry about it, it is working for a non display command
[19:31] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: type grep "DISPLAY.*gimp" /var/log/syslog
[19:31] <chrisfromgreece> help !! No sound on ubuntu 15.04
[19:32] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, nothing is outputted
[19:32] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: it should mention it in syslog if it runs
[19:32] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: ok, so it's not running
[19:32] <xangua> !15.04 | chrisfromgreece
[19:32] <chrisfromgreece> help !! No sound on ubuntu 15.04 only virtual output !!! help i want to keep this installation if possible
[19:32] <x41> hello people
[19:32] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, don't worry really, than you very much!!
[19:32] <EriC^^> ?
[19:34] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: did it work?
[19:34] <faLUCE> zerowaitstate: I can't find a GUI speech recognizer with a proper deb packagte.+
[19:34] <EriC^^> uugeepilvi: follow the guide from step 6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[19:34] <faLUCE> zerowaitstate: sphinx needs an installation
[19:35] <EriC^^> uugeepilvi: sudo chroot /mnt will make the chroot.. then type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[19:37] <tirengarfio> 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] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: is it in syslog?
[19:38] <tirengarfio> no
[19:38] <tirengarfio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10840398/
[19:39] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: that's odd
[19:43] <tirengarfio> wait, it seems the time at my taskbar is not the same of the system..
[19:43] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: try * * * * * it's way easier to troubleshoot stuff
[19:44] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: it'll run every minute
[19:44] <faLUCE> hello, is there any GUI based speech recognizer for ubuntu available on deb packages?
[19:46] <tirengarfio> EriC^^, it is working now, the problem was the time at my taskbar
[19:46] <tirengarfio> it is not showing the time of the system exactly
[19:47] <sheap> what is going on during "select and install software" on install? (retrieving file 5 of 32)
[19:47] <azizLIGHT> is there a way to query what is playing sound wise?
[19:47] <EriC^^> sheap: press the arrow in the installer and it'll open a terminal below
[19:48] <EriC^^> sheap: i think it's updating the packages cache, or installing stuff if you chose to update during the installation
[19:48] <sheap> EriC^^: which arrow? it's a preseed but it's stuck retrieving files
[19:49] <krunkpirate> anybody have any insight why ubuntu-latest (e.g.) has stopped defaulting to using tmpfs for /tmp?
[19:49] <EriC^^> sheap: arrow to the left, anywhere really i think at the bottom area
[19:51] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: i see
[19:51] <EriC^^> tirengarfio: try right clicking on it and selecting to get the time from the internet i guess
[19:52] <Peanut> 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] <ianorlin> Peanut: no it is not installed as init for 14.10
[19:54] <acz32> is it possible to install a DE without bundled software like its file manager, etc
[19:54] <Peanut> ianorlin: ok, thanks.
[19:54] <k2gremlin> 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] <OerHeks> acz32, --without-recommends , but a filemanager would be part of it i guess.
[20:00] <OerHeks> k2gremlin, sometimes yes, depends on the router.
[20:00] <zerowaitstate> ianorlin: systemd will become an option most likely in 15.04
[20:01] <zerowaitstate> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers
[20:02] <Crimlo> HI all
[20:03]  * ianorlin knows zerowaitstate 
[20:04] <zerowaitstate> 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] <Pici> 70
[20:05] <wldcordeiro> Is notify-osd any use to Kubuntu or is it an Ubuntu package?
[20:05] <darko> hi everyone
[20:06] <Peanut> It's ok, I did see it, zerowaitstate
[20:06] <jayjo> How can I inspect my cronjobs?
[20:06] <wldcordeiro> I've been having problems with it and want to know if it's okay to remove.
[20:06] <EriC^^> jayjo: crontab -l for your user ones
[20:06] <zerowaitstate> jayjo: crontab -l
[20:06] <Peanut> Just got some curious systemd login errors, despite not running systemd.
[20:06] <jayjo> I put one in under crontab -e but I don't think it's executing
[20:06] <EriC^^> jayjo: less /var/log/syslog
[20:06] <darko> can someone tell me how to open opt folder with root privileges?
[20:07] <EriC^^> jayjo: press G and they should show up at the bottom
[20:07] <zerowaitstate> jayjo: check /var/log/syslog; cron should notify in syslog when a job runs
[20:07] <phelix> Would anyone know why this doesn't run when in cron? But if i copy and paste this it works??
[20:07] <phelix> "/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] <phelix> without the ""
[20:08] <zerowaitstate> phelix: you have two output redirects
[20:08] <zerowaitstate> phelix: for stdout
[20:09] <phelix> well i tried without the >/dev/null and it doesn't work in cron either.
[20:09] <zerowaitstate> instead of >/dev/null 2>&1, do 2>/dev/null
[20:09] <phelix> k let me try that thanks
[20:12] <phelix> zerobyte: /usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia | gzip -c > /var/www/backups/databases/motdmedia/motdmedia.$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql.gz 2>/dev/null
[20:13] <phelix> this one doesn't seem to be working either. I can see in syslog that its running. but the file is not created
[20:13] <zerowaitstate> my guess is the bash date expansion isn't working. usually when i do this i put the command in a bash script and tell cron to execute the script, rather than trying to do it inline
[20:13] <bekks> phelix: Does "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia" work as expected?
[20:13] <phelix> ahh hmm
[20:14] <zerobyte> :o
[20:14] <phelix> bekks yeah even with the dats if I run the command from the terminal it creates the output with dates just fine
[20:14] <phelix> just not in cron
[20:15] <bekks> Try using full paths, like /usr/bin/gzip instead of gzip.
[20:15] <zerowaitstate> bekks: good eye
[20:15] <phelix> k
[20:15] <zerowaitstate> phelix: yeah, cron does not pick up your environment; you have to specify a lot of stuff
[20:16] <Frumpzula> When doing a mysqldump from the command line, can you include ftp instructions for off server transfer? Dont find much on google for this question.
[20:16] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: no, but if you are scripting it you can send the output via curl
[20:16] <Frumpzula> Ah!
[20:16] <Frumpzula> Thank you
[20:17] <Frumpzula> Zerowaitstate - Do you know why data function works when doing a mysqldump via command line, but when I add to crontab, it does not?
[20:17] <Frumpzula> date
[20:17] <Frumpzula> I mean
[20:17] <Frumpzula> not data
[20:18] <rethem> hellow
[20:18] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: you may need to specify the shell to be used in your crontab
[20:19] <zerowaitstate> i.e., SHELL=/bin/bash
[20:19] <zerowaitstate> man 5 crontab for details
[20:19] <phelix> "/usr/bin/mysqldump -uUSER -pPASS --opt motdmedia | /bin/gzip -c > /var/www/backups/databases/motdmedia/motdmedia.$(date +%m-%d-%Y).sql.gz 2>/dev/null" does not work either.
[20:19] <Frumpzula> Thank you, I will explore that now
[20:19] <zerowaitstate> /bin/sh isn't bash on ubuntu
[20:19] <Frumpzula> IM using ubuntu 12.04
[20:20] <bekks> Frumpzula: You can script that.
[20:20] <zerowaitstate> bekks: yeah, I recommended that
[20:20] <k2gremlin> 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] <Frumpzula> 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] <zerowaitstate> you add it on a different line, usually near the top of the crontab file
[20:21] <phelix> hah me and Frumpzula seem to be working on the same problem
[20:22] <zerowaitstate> run the man page from crontab(5)
[20:22] <Frumpzula> 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] <Frumpzula> Just not in the cron
[20:22] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: that's because cron does not use bash by default
[20:22] <Frumpzula> ok
[20:22] <Frumpzula> Thats my answer I think
[20:22] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: for evaluating the command
[20:22] <Frumpzula> Really appricate it zero
[20:23] <Frumpzula> I love this place!
[20:24] <kibMaf> 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] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: what you guys are asking for is done by nearly every dba there is
[20:24] <phelix> Frumpzula: Yes exact same problem here
[20:24] <zerowaitstate> so, I've done a couple of scripts like that :)
[20:24] <Frumpzula> I now understand.. Makes total sense.
[20:25] <phelix> is it possible to have cron run as basj instead of sh ?
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> 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] <Frumpzula> How do you best eludicate the correct path for that?
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> the correct path for bash?
[20:25] <Frumpzula> I was thinking of going down that road Zero
[20:25] <Frumpzula> yes
[20:25] <ihio> hello all, how can I wipe a file via command line? I mean completely erase
[20:25] <zerowaitstate> which bash
[20:26] <zerowaitstate> type "which bash" from command line
[20:26] <Frumpzula> idio, I use rm
[20:26] <zerowaitstate> Fuchs: rm unlinks only; it does not do "secure erase"
[20:26] <kibMaf> Has anybuddy heard me guys?
[20:26] <Frumpzula> Got it zero.. Thank you!
[20:26] <kibMaf> 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] <ihio> which one would be secure erase?
[20:26] <Fuchs> wat?
[20:27] <Frumpzula> you can shred it?
[20:27] <Frumpzula> shred -vzn 3 /path/file
[20:27] <Frumpzula> I think
[20:28] <ihio> thank you Frumpzula
[20:28] <zerowaitstate> that's the easiest way for a particular file. alternatively there are tools to zero out unallocated file blocks
[20:28] <ihio> what is 3 there?
[20:29] <Frumpzula> SHELL=/bin/sh
[20:29] <Frumpzula> PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
[20:29] <zerowaitstate> ihio: how many times to overwrite the data with junk
[20:29] <Frumpzula> Last question Zero - The command: which bash displays /bin/bash - My cron tab says
[20:29] <Frumpzula> SHELL=/bin/sh
[20:29] <Frumpzula> PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
[20:29] <Frumpzula> will changing whats there have any negitive effecgts?
[20:29] <Frumpzula> or can I just add a path
[20:30] <ihio> I applied it, but the file is still there
[20:30] <Frumpzula> secure wipe tries to erase all sectors with junk so its gone for good
[20:30] <zerowaitstate> Frumpzula: always specify the full qualified path to your shell; never rely on PATH environment to find it
[20:30] <jayjo> I can see where my cron jobs are running - is there a way to see the errors the job throws?
[20:30] <ihio> even though the runs are shown in terminal, the file is there
[20:30] <Frumpzula> so all I need is Shell=/bin/bash ?
[20:31] <Frumpzula> leave path alone?
[20:31] <zerowaitstate> ihio: add the -u option to delete it after overwrite
[20:31] <ihio> oh no sorry, the file is there, but, yeah, filled with junk
[20:31] <Frumpzula> you have to add delete command
[20:31] <Frumpzula> nm, zero got ya
[20:31] <ihio> -u option to the end=
[20:31] <ihio> ?
[20:31] <Frumpzula> doesnt have to be at end
[20:31] <Frumpzula> as far as I know
[20:32] <ihio> oh yes
[20:32] <ihio> it did
[20:32] <dhcp_help> Hello all, I have a isc-dhcp-server question (ubuntu 12lts) question.
[20:32] <ihio> thank you all for your assistance! :)
[20:32] <zerowaitstate> ihio: be aware that this will not necessarily securely erase from flash media that supports TRIM
[20:33] <zerowaitstate> ihio: due to the fact that TRIM redirects writes to fresh disk sectors
[20:33] <ihio> zerowaitstate, which one would be secure erase for flash media (like usb) ? nautilus wipe tool?
[20:34] <zerowaitstate> ihio: in that case you are better off zeroing unallocated blocks with something like zerofree
[20:35] <zerowaitstate> ihio: but the attacker has to be very savvy to get at the data on a flash trim volume
[20:35] <zerowaitstate> ihio: whereas just accessing unlinked files is easy
[20:37] <dhcp_help> is isc-dhcp-server the correct install for server 12? dhcp3 is the older server right?
[20:37] <Guest28088> 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] <ihio> zerowaitstate, trim relates to ssd only, right?
[20:38] <woodsbw> 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] <zerowaitstate> ihio: correct, or possible usb flash media
[20:42] <ihio> zerowaitstate, so usb sticks are also trim volumes?
[20:42] <zerowaitstate> ihio: I _think_ they can be, but not 100% sure.
[20:43] <zerowaitstate> ihio: the purpose of TRIM is dealing with low write cycle endurance for early models of flash memory
[20:44] <zerowaitstate> ihio: recent flash drives have higher number of write cycles before failure, so it is gradually becoming less of a problem
[20:44] <ihio> zerowaitstate, so it is more likely to be relevant for early models like usb 1.0 and maybe 2.0 ?
[20:44] <ihio> relevant or existent
[20:45] <zerowaitstate> ihio: some models don't support TRIM at all. They just fail when you hit the write cycle limit
[20:46] <zerowaitstate> ihio: google it if you want the gory details
[20:46] <zerowaitstate> ihio: buckshot is the best secure delete
[20:46] <ihio> zerowaitstate, how about wipe or dd?
[20:48] <nogoodnamesleft> ihio, What are you trying to do? `shred` will securely erase a volume
[20:49] <ihio> nogoodnamesleft, I was more referring to files
[20:50] <zerowaitstate> 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] <nogoodnamesleft> ihio, shred does that as well: `man shred`.
[20:50] <nogoodnamesleft> ihio, He's right, too. You want an encrypted disk as well.
[20:51] <faLUCE> 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] <zerowaitstate> doing good speech-to-text is hard, so most of that is going to be proprietary
[20:52] <faLUCE> zerowaitstate: also a proprietary program is good for me, but it has to run on linux
[20:52] <ihio> sure. thank you, just wanted to know which would be the best in case of a secure file deletion
[20:52] <ihio> thank you so much for your detailed help!
[20:53] <nogoodnamesleft> ihio, Shred will nuke it for sure, you can even do 7 pass overwrites.
[20:53] <zerowaitstate> 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] <decwrl> I
[20:54] <nogoodnamesleft> zerowaitstate, Yes you are correct there. I use it for disks.
[20:54] <ihio> yes, we talked about flash media..
[20:55] <decwrl> 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] <zerowaitstate> which is why I recommend if you are fairly paranoid about it to not store sensitive data unencrypted in the first place
[20:55] <zerowaitstate> if the volume is encrypted then it's less important to securely wipe
[20:55] <nogoodnamesleft> To be honest i think physical disk destruction is the best way
[20:55] <zerowaitstate> nogoodnamesleft: I also mentioned buckshot
[20:56] <zerowaitstate> nogoodnamesleft: but I didn't think anyone got it
[20:56] <nogoodnamesleft> zerowaitstate, What is buckshot?
[20:56] <zerowaitstate> 12 gauge
[20:56] <nogoodnamesleft> ?
[20:56] <zerowaitstate> ammunition for a shotgun?
[20:56] <nogoodnamesleft> oh guns
[20:56] <nogoodnamesleft> Yea well. None of those here I don't think. :-)
[20:56] <zerowaitstate> see, you don't get it either
[20:57] <zerowaitstate> I'm showing my roots
[20:57] <nogoodnamesleft> I would take it to a shredder, or use thermite.
[20:57] <sammy> 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] <ihio> I have another question if I may. I am trying to import keys, by selecting 'import', but nothing happens
[20:57] <zerowaitstate> nogoodnamesleft: most of our stuff in my old job we sent to an industrial shredder
[20:58] <sammy> now I'm left with a half-configured upgrade
[20:58] <zerowaitstate> ihio: import keys for what
[20:59] <ihio> gnupg
[20:59] <sammy> the python upgrade script in /tmp is still running but I don't know how to (if I can) re-attach to it
[21:01] <nogoodnamesleft> 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] <sammy> anyone have any experience restarting/reattaching to a running release upgrade?
[21:05] <ihio> I am trying to import remote keys, but it doesnt work. am I missing something?
[21:06] <sammy> this seems like a good excuse to ditch ubuntu.
[21:07] <SonikkuAmerica> !details |  sammy
[21:09] <sammy> 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] <mbainrot> 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] <jayjo> Is there any way to get my cron job reports without having an MTA installed?
[21:09] <SonikkuAmerica> sammy: Then [ sudo killall do-release-upgrade ] and re-run it
[21:10] <jayjo> Can I store them somewhere and access them manually periodically?
[21:10] <sammy> 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] <sammy> 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] <sammy> dpkg is still running, waiting for me to return from checkign out the diff
[21:12] <SonikkuAmerica> sammy: You should be able to reattach screen
[21:12] <sammy> SonikkuAmerica: it closed it.
[21:12] <SonikkuAmerica> screen died?
[21:12] <sammy> 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] <sammy> like it does when the entire upgrade is over
[21:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Did you hit X?
[21:13] <SonikkuAmerica> If not, it should be listed in [ screen -r ]
[21:14] <sammy> 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] <sammy> 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] <sammy> 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] <EriC^^_> sammy: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if it failed on an upgrade, maybe
[21:15] <sammy> and I think you may have meant `screen -ls` for a listing
[21:15] <sammy> EriC^^_: dpkg is still running. the upgrade is still running :P
[21:15] <meisth0th> hi
[21:15] <SonikkuAmerica> sammy: For a listing, yes... but do you have more than 1 screen session going?
[21:15] <sammy> at this point I'm too wary to go and kill it off until I'm sure there's no way to resume it
[21:16] <yeats> sammy: 'tail -f /var/log/dpkg.log' would show you if it's still running
[21:16] <sammy> that will definitely get me to a point that I may not be able to recover from
[21:16] <meisth0th> i'll install ubuntu, would you recommend to wait until 15.04 is released?
[21:16] <sammy> yeats: I can see the processes :P
[21:16] <sammy> they're all there, including the python process running the /tmp/upgrade-whatever-script-thingy-randomgarbage
[21:16] <sammy> it's like it paused to let me check the diff, then kicked me out. it's all still there
[21:17] <sammy> 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] <sammy> that way you can install now and you wont have to wait!
[21:17] <sammy> despite what you see here, the upgrade process is pretty painless.
[21:18] <meisth0th> sammy, if i install 15.04 beta 2 now, will i get a unstable system?
[21:18] <Bashing-om> meisth0th: !st time user ? I would suggest installing  the Long-Term-Support release, 14.04 .
[21:18] <meisth0th> Bashing-om, coming from arch linux, don't think i'll have issues.
[21:19] <sammy> meisth0th: not necessarily. in fact, most likely not. if you don't mind tracking down bugs and the like, run 15.04
[21:19] <Bashing-om> meisth0th: Great ,,, have at it .. but be aware 15.04 is only supported for 9 months, then upgrade time .
[21:19] <sammy> 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] <trfsrfr> what is the command to load my internet bookmarks (json file)into firefox?
[21:21] <meisth0th> sammy, ok thanks, loading 15.04 beta 2 to usb now :)
[21:22] <irnfoot495> 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] <phelix> 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] <jayjo> can I just log the errors from cron somewhere on the machine?
[21:30] <xjkx> 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] <Bashing-om> phelix: Which script ? Might be lucky and have a backup file -> ls -l /var/backups <- .
[21:31] <phelix> 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] <phelix> I am not sure what to do
[21:33] <tadzik> 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] <tadzik> I'm on "performance" governor
[21:33] <tadzik> nothing interesting in dmesg
[21:33] <Wedge_> Anyone here good with gtk themes?
[21:34] <Bashing-om> 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] <treelzebub> i remain good at gtk themes by avoiding them altogether, personally :P
[21:37] <phelix> I Can't reinstall anything. I keep getting dpkg: warning: 'sh' not found in PATH or not executable
[21:37] <phelix> same with rm and tar
[21:37] <phelix> those files seemed to have been removed
[21:38] <genii> phelix: Do you have a livecd around?
[21:39] <phelix> I dont. this is a rackspace server
[21:39] <tadzik> 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] <tadzik> what is this bullshit >:(
[21:39] <genii> tadzik: Please watch the profanity in here
[21:39] <tadzik> I'm sorry
[21:40] <phelix> is there anyway to get these files back on the server?
[21:40] <genii> phelix: Not without some way to externally boot and then debootstrap the affected partition
[21:41] <genii> phelix: ... does the command: ar    work?
[21:41] <phelix> yes
[21:43] <genii> 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] <phelix> k have another ubuntu machine. Gonna try and grab those missing binary files and copy them to the right spot
[21:44] <genii> phelix: Probably want to grab at a minimum the binutils and tar packages
[21:45] <phelix> ya
[21:45] <phelix> not sure how in gods name this bash script did this
[21:47] <genii> 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] <phelix> ok I'll try that.. thank you
[21:51] <pankid> 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] <yeats> 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] <genii> 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] <pankid> yeats, wont cause an issue?
[21:53] <yeats> pankid: nah
[21:54] <Guest24671> 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
[21:54] <ihio> 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] <yeats> pankid: of course, things like apache restarts happen during APT updates, so you might see an interruption
[21:54] <peanuts> (am Guest24671) any idea how to do that?
[21:54] <peanuts> I can do it manually from the sound settings dialogue but, it reverts
[21:54] <yeats> pankid: (but it would be momentary)
[21:55] <ihio> ok, I am asking it in gnupg channel. thank you
[21:55] <pankid> 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] <yeats> pankid: it would probably be fine - I administer many high-availability ubuntu servers
[21:56] <pankid> yeats: thanks a ton
[21:56] <yeats> pankid: best of luck ;-)
[21:58] <Gallomimia> 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] <Gallomimia> seems to work but leaves no networking. any suggestions are welcome!
[22:02] <yeats> 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] <yeats> !networkmanager
[22:02] <Gallomimia> 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] <Gallomimia> the X issue is probably more pressing :/
[22:03] <yeats> Gallomimia: 'ifconfig' should show you the names of interfaces
[22:03] <Shaba1> Hello folks is there a tutorial on putting ubuntu on a usb key with PERSISTANT storage with WINDOWS
[22:03] <Gallomimia> yeats: that lists loopback only i’m afraid
[22:03] <Shaba1> All the ones I have found on the 'net assume you already have ubuntu on you machine.
[22:04] <yeats> Gallomimia: look in /etc/network/interfaces too - for the X issue, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and friends
[22:04] <Shaba1> or they reccomend an installation that takes up the whold usb key
[22:04] <yeats> !liveusb
[22:04] <yeats> Shaba1: ^^
[22:06] <taxomoney> 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] <Shaba1> Mot install FROM a usb stick
[22:06] <Shaba1> install TO a USB stick so you can boot the laptop to ubuntu
[22:06] <Gallomimia> 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] <yeats> Shaba1: read the second link :-/
[22:07] <yeats> Gallomimia: if you can collect and pastebin the errors, someone may be able to assist
[22:07] <mandaxFan> Wassup guys? How's it going?
[22:08] <mandaxFan> Guys, share your favorite Ubuntu package
[22:08] <yeats> !poll | mandaxFan
[22:08] <Shaba1> thanks reading
[22:08] <Gallomimia> 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] <phelix> 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] <yeats> mandaxFan: better to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic - this channel is for support
[22:09] <mandaxFan> oops, sorry I will leave :)
[22:11] <genii> phelix: 755 should be their permissions, root their user and group
[22:12] <phelix> is it safe to just run chmod -R 755 /bin ?
[22:12] <yeats> Gallomimia: you can try something like '<command> | tee errors.log' then install pastebinit and do 'pastebinit errors.log' (of course, that requires networking)
[22:12] <yeats> phelix: don't do that
[22:12] <phelix> ugh, I don't even have chmod working right. Getting permission error on chmod
[22:13] <genii> phelix: There are some like mount that have setuid, so no
[22:13] <Gallomimia> yes that’s a bit of a problem. i’m considering a scheme to transfer pastebin docs on a usb.
[22:13] <phelix> chmod must of been one of the files the script removed
[22:13] <phelix> i have chown but not  chmod
[22:13] <phelix> well those commands are there now but no permission to run them
[22:14] <Gallomimia> or maybe you lost access to chmod? perhaps the permission is removed for +x ?
[22:14] <Gallomimia> maybe your group got changed and you’re not in the group that can run it?
[22:14] <coffee-> !compatibility
[22:14] <Gallomimia> i think you need to learn about sudo
[22:14] <coffee-> !hardware
[22:14] <phelix> 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] <phelix> so i found another ubuntu machine and coppied the missing files from there to this machine
[22:14] <Gallomimia> oh.
[22:15] <phelix> not sure what to do....
[22:15] <Gallomimia> maybe you should use a repair script? usb stick...
[22:15] <phelix> well the machine is at rackspace
[22:15] <Gallomimia> backup all your files
[22:15] <Gallomimia> oh
[22:15] <genii> phelix: Is it possible to pastebin the script you originally used which messed it up?
[22:15] <phelix> yea
[22:15] <Gallomimia> yeah that’d help!
[22:15] <Gallomimia> let’s read it.
[22:15] <phelix> ftp i think will let me download it
[22:15] <pc-moon__> synaptic give me message is Could not apply changes!
[22:15] <pc-moon__> Fix broken packages first
[22:15] <genii> ( so we can see what exactly it did)
[22:16] <pc-moon__> can some one tell me how fix that
[22:16] <Gallomimia> uh… dpkg -f install ?
[22:16] <pankid> 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] <Gallomimia> uh… pankid i want to say probably
[22:17] <pankid> probably will break, or probably wont break?
[22:18] <l4l13n> pc-moon__,  you have to tell us what u r trying to install with synaptic and if it does that with eveything.
[22:19] <phelix> http://pastie.org/10099022
[22:19] <pc-moon__> im trying to install NVIDIA legacy binary driver -
[22:20] <pc-moon__> i have VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050 and i wanna run two display
[22:21] <pc-moon__> i have two error in update first is VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050 and second is VESA: GM107 Board - 20120050
[22:22] <pc-moon__> 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] <genii> pc-moon__: use sudo in front
[22:23] <phelix> genii: http://pastie.org/10099022
[22:23] <pc-moon__> you mean like : sudo apt-get update
[22:24] <l4l13n> pc-moon__,  close everything then sudo synaptic
[22:24] <genii> 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] <pc-moon__> ok
[22:24] <l4l13n> unless irc >>
[22:25] <genii> pc-moon__: Yes, sudo apt-get update
[22:25] <phelix> 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] <genii> phelix: When you "boot" the server do you get a grub menu?
[22:26] <pc-moon__> ok im trying
[22:26] <phelix> I am not sure. Scared to try and reboot it. And again its at rackspace I can't watch the bootup screen
[22:27] <pc-moon__> oh good synaptic working now
[22:27] <phelix> I mean I could look at the log file
[22:27] <phelix> 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] <genii> 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
[22:28] <pc-moon__> ah ok its good to know thats
[22:29] <genii> 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] <pc-moon__> do thats hard to make my ubuntu run to minters by my nvidia card
[22:29] <l4l13n> genii,  oh really?
[22:29] <genii> l4l13n: Yes
[22:29] <phelix> I don't think that i have access to do this.. =/
[22:29] <genii> !gksu
[22:29] <l4l13n> ok sry guys
[22:29] <phelix> there anyway to get a chmod file on this machine that will run?
[22:30] <genii> l4l13n: See the bot's link for a more detailed explanation
[22:31] <genii> phelix: It's the chicken-egg problem, unfortunately
[22:31] <phelix> yea ... ugh.
[22:31] <phelix> not sure what to do!
[22:32] <genii> 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] <l4l13n> genii, damn i use sudo for months. I'll use gksudo about now thx
[22:33] <genii> phelix: Is it letting you scp files to it right now?
[22:33] <phelix> yea I can do that
[22:33] <phelix> will that copy file permissions etc?
[22:34] <genii> phelix: So conceivably you could scp the other Ubuntu's files directly to the /bin ( assuming it lets you use sudo )
[22:34] <pankid> 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] <genii> phelix: Yep, will preserve whatever ownership and perms
[22:34] <phelix> k let me try that
[22:36] <phelix> wtf.. just ran it and it copied everything and I still get bash: /bin/ls: Permission denied
[22:36] <nogoodnamesleft> 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] <dtscode> how would i install opengl on ubuntu
[22:40] <alex141284> test
[22:41] <genii> phelix: Oh, forgot... use -p switch. Like I said, brain is mooshy right now
[22:41] <genii> alex141284: Yes, we see what you type
[22:44] <Peiniger> 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] <Peiniger> I’ve restarted ssh and verified authorized_keys hasnt been changed.
[22:45] <genii> Peiniger: Probably a better question for #ubuntu-server
[22:45] <Peiniger> Thanks genii
[22:45] <genii> Peiniger: It's pretty quiet in there right now, but have patience :)
[22:45] <Peiniger> Thanks
[22:48] <lzkill> 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] <genii> phelix: Any luck using scp with the -p switch to copy the files over?
[22:49] <nogoodnamesleft> lzkill, What breaks? Network drive connection breaks, or network connection breaks?
[22:49] <phelix> 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] <phelix> if that makes sense.
[22:49] <phelix> he says that shouldn't mess with any permissions
[22:50] <genii> phelix: Yes, good
[22:51] <phpcoder> hello everybody
[22:51] <phpcoder> in my laptop i have a graphic card      NVIDIA® GeForce® 840M con DDR3 da 2 GB
[22:52] <phpcoder> the problem is that ubuntu found      Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)
[22:52] <phpcoder> how can i resolve this?
[23:19] <mjollnerd1> 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] <bekks> 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] <mjollnerd1> thank you
[23:21] <bekks> yw :)
[23:28] <phpcoder> ubuntu-drivers devices returns nothign :(
[23:29] <Loshki> 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] <phelix> is it possible to take permissions from /bin and duplicate them on same file names on like /mnt/bin ?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> phelix: Yes. It probably requires some scripting though. What is your end goal?
[23:40] <phelix> 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] <phelix> would like chmod --reference /bin /mnt/bin/* work ?
[23:41] <phelix> hmm doesn't seem like it does
[23:42] <hiexpo> mv chown
[23:46] <Jordan_U> phelix: Are the files otherwise identical?
[23:56] <Ullarah> Quick question, is vivid still on track for release on the 23rd? :)
[23:57] <xangua> when it's ready Ullarah
[23:57] <Guest19103> hello
[23:57] <Guest19103> hi every body
[23:58] <lzkill> hi folks. I have an issue with my new sandisk extreme pen drive... every time I plug it on my network access goes down... does anybody know how to solve this?
[23:58] <Jordan_U> lzkill: Do other USB devices cause the same problem? Please pastebin the output of "dmesg" after plugging in the USB drive.
