kostkonrandompersonbob, you could try getting the linux-headers package or at least try reinstalling the bcmwl-kernel-source package00:39
randompersonbobMy computer is Acer V5 571...00:40
randompersonbobokay I will do that, where can I downloaad the packages from...00:40
=== Thelks is now known as zz_Thelks
randompersonbobSince my network port is bad?00:43
kostkonrandompersonbob, before doing that, just try this:  give this command:    sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source     then click on your network icon again, see if anything has changed. If not, reboot your system and check again.00:44

awatthey we have a guest wifi which need a password , i dont know when/where i have to put the password. it shows connected but i cant browse01:25
awatt?01:26
awattits like timhorton wifi01:26
kostkonrandompersonbob_, the messages you missed:  <kostkon> randompersonbob, what's exactly wrong with your lan port     <MonkeyDust> randompersonbob  try sudo dpkg -a --configure01:27
* Mirodroid wonders what is wrong with the lan port too01:28
JinjaNinjaI know there aren't any XBox emulators (or at least, that I know of), for linux, but theoretically, couldn't I run an XBox Emulator for windows through Wine in linux?01:28
* randompersonbob_ does not really know what is wrong. It doesn't show lights on the port and doesn't work in windows or ubuntu or other linus distros. it isn't the cable or router conection (tried many)01:29
randompersonbob_Just broken?01:29
svetlanaawatt, point your browser to 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1, maybe it asks for password there. ask other wifi users where they enter the pass.01:30
kostkonrandompersonbob_, maybe somehow it got disabled in your bios01:30
kostkonrandompersonbob_, that's one possibility01:31
randompersonbob_I don't think so,  I did have a little look; it is like this on my laptop: http://content.hwigroup.net/images/products/xl/172340-6.jpg01:31
JinjaNinjaCould I run a game emulator built for windows through Wine on linux?01:31
MrElendigJinjaNinja: emulator for what?01:32
kostkonrandompersonbob_, do you have that cable?01:32
randompersonbob_I could go try sudo dpkg -a --configure. And at the same time check the bios.01:32
MrElendigJinjaNinja: also check the application list at winehq01:33
randompersonbob_Yep :-)01:33
JinjaNinjaMrElendig: For XBox01:33
JinjaNinjaIt's called Xeon01:33
randompersonbob_The VGA worka on that cable (second monitor is VGA)01:34
GeoHi, I have a machine with two NICs, both connected to the internet (different routes). If the primary interface goes down (the default gw for routing), how can I tell ubuntu to roll back to the other interface?01:34
JinjaNinjaMrElendig: Would Xeon work? It's an XBox emulator built for windows01:34
MrElendig03:33:04  MrElendig ╡ JinjaNinja: also check the application list at winehq01:35

kostkontenguix, one jack for both?01:57
tenguixIndeed01:57
kostkontenguix, ok and so the splitter you've bought has got a mini jack plug with 3 black rings on it?01:58

azizLIGHT[Saint]: fyi, the TP-Link TL-WN725N you suggested as a work out of the box and cheap n wifi usb adaptor? it has 2 versions. version 1 is probably what you have and it works out the box. they changed chipset for version 2 (which i got) and its not so out of the box. they have misled people with the same model number. just fyi in case you recommend that one again :)02:40
kostkonyoosi, hopefully yes, there is always the TTY option02:40
kostkonyoosi, actually does the terminal window have a proper icon?02:41
azizLIGHTwgolden: the TP-Link TL-WN725N [Saint] suggested to buy, its got 2 versions. version 1 works out the box, version 2 does not unless you have a recent kernel. just fyi02:41

See http://homepage.boetes.org/documents/OpenBSDEncryptedFilesystemHOWTO.html02:42

bjgbobHi, I'm having a weird issue using headphones on my Lenovo laptop03:16
bjgbobthe audio output is extremely quiet and somewhat distorted03:16
bjgbobI haven't changed anything AFAIK, and it's never been a problem before.03:17
bjgbobbut speakers work fine. Any ideas?03:17
aeon-ltddifferent headphones?03:19
aeon-ltdsome headphones need more power to drive them properly03:20
bjgbobthese are the same 'phones I've always used though03:21
bjgbobhang on, I'll test them with my phone to make sure they work03:21
aeon-ltdif they are the same before this, this isn't the problem03:21
bjgbobyeah, they're still working fine03:22
bjgbobthe problem persists after rebooting, btw03:22
mccHello, I asked this question in #kubuntu but could not get help... I think it is really just an apt-get question... I have an install CD, and it has a series of packages I want installed. if i say dpkg -i on one of them, it does not have dependencies (gcc).03:30
mccthe whole point of apt-get etc is to recursively install package dependencies, right? is there some way to use apt-get to recursively get all the .debs I need from this install CD (usb key)?03:31
kostkonbjgbob, nowadays pulseaudio can sense when headphones have been plugged in. Connect the phones, open your sound settings, check the volume levels.03:31
mccnote what i am really trying to do here is install my wireless drivers, which is why i can't just get it from the internet03:31
bjgbobkostkon, yes, that's working properly. Even with my headphone volume at 100%, it is quiet and distorted.03:34
kostkonbjgbob, can you go above 100%03:34
bjgbobI can go to 153% using pavucontrol, but it's still pretty quiet (maybe a normal 20% volume) and has extreme clipping and distortion.03:36
samthewildoneI'm trying to use remmina remote desktop client and getting nowhere. I Just installed a kubuntu on my desktop and got the ip address of the machine and tried inputing the address in the rdp client but, get nothing.03:37
samthewildoneI ping the ip address and get a connection but, cannot connect through remmina03:37
samthewildone!remmina03:37
bjgbobmcc, try gdebi03:39
kostkonbjgbob, hmm, check the volume levels in alsamixer.03:39
mccbjgbob: hm, apparently kubuntu doesn't install that :( thanks tho03:43

guardian99do you guys recommend a layman (me) hosting their own business email on my website ubuntu server?03:44
froyohuh?03:45
mcci am not qualified to answer that question but if it were me i would be nervous. i think hosting your own mailserver is hard/discouraged these days because of anti-spam federation.03:45
froyoYou should have a good skill being a host of the email website, you will receive a lot of DdoS, bandwith war, spams and others.03:46
froyoYou need to know how to prevent those stuff from happening to you.03:47
bjgbobkostkon, alsamixer gives me this strange screen: http://i.imgur.com/KM1WnVY.png03:47

froyoIs GTK 3.0 and qt4 & 5 use less resource?03:53
froyoUbuntu is big and heavy for me..03:53
kostkonbjgbob, try changing the levels from there and test again afterwards03:53
kostkon!lubuntu | froyo03:53
lotuspsychje!info preload | froyo03:53
ubottufroyo: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support.03:53
ubottufroyo: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (utopic), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB03:53
froyoI know that both are lightweight? But which is the lightest? Since, pcmanfm and vlc already migrating to Qt03:54
froyoI don't know what is the reason..03:55
lotuspsychjefroyo: whats your bottleneck exactly?03:55
froyoI'm sorry?03:55
bjgbobkostkon, no joy03:55
lotuspsychjefroyo: what happens to your system exactly03:56
kostkonbjgbob, hmm ok03:56
froyoNothing happened, just GTK 3.0 is slow for me.03:56
froyoand I don't know why pcmanfm migrating to Qt..03:56
lotuspsychjefroyo: what about your overall system03:57
froyois 32 bit, with 1 GB ram03:57
lotuspsychjefroyo: maybe 1gig ram is low for a dev machine03:58
lotuspsychjefroyo: try lubuntu as kostkon suggests03:58
froyoNo...I'm just using the De's....not developing for them...03:58
sysop2hello! I installed ubuntu and this laptop with touchscreen and it came up fine, I then did apt-get install ubuntu-touch and rebooted, now I get a black screen on boot. I can get to a root prompt and I am installing the newest intel video drivers and updating all the packages, any other suggestions?03:58
lotuspsychjefroyo: wich ubuntu version are you in right now?03:58
froyoIt's 14 LTS03:59
lotuspsychjesysop2: ubuntu touch cant be installed on a laptop03:59
lotuspsychjesysop2: you need to install ubuntu desktop03:59
sysop2why not?03:59
froyoWhy you install ubuntu-touch on a desktop?03:59
sysop2it has a touch screen?03:59
lotuspsychjesysop2: ubuntu touch means, for mobile devices and tablets04:00
froyoUbuntu-touch is configured for Phones...04:00
sysop2I then why have it as a package in the repos for desktops?04:00
rofltechsysop2: touch is for phones desktop is for full fledged computers04:00
lotuspsychjefroyo: 14.04 desktop with unity?04:00
froyoI actually tty04:00
froyobut now..startx04:00
sysop2so you are saying there is no ubuntu touch screen interface for x86 tablets?04:00
kostkonbjgbob, wait, you said kmix? anything to do with phonon? it adds an extra layer to audio in kde afaik04:00
lotuspsychjefroyo: startx is outdates use lightdm instead04:01
froyoI configure the grub and ppc confiq to disable quiet splash04:01
lotuspsychjesysop2: on tablets you have to install ubuntu touch yes04:01
lotuspsychjesysop2: but not all tablets, for now only nexus devices04:01
=== karstensrage is now known as Guest74553
froyolotus, actually...I choose startx because the parent widgets..it's pretty..04:01
sysop2nexus is not x86!04:02
sysop2its arm. forget arm!04:02
froyoI gonna say..I'm booting with text || CLI04:02
lotuspsychjefroyo: anyway, i would suggest a lightweight Wm, try lubuntu-desktop from your existing install maybe?04:02
froyoWhen LXDE become wm? It's a DE or Wm? I stick with fluxbox and JWM actually.04:03
lotuspsychjesysop2: all other dvices beside the nexus ones, you need to install ubuntu desktop04:03
svetlanafroyo: it's a de04:03
svetlanamaybe lxwm is a thing, i don't remember04:04
sysop2then why is ubuntu-touch in the repos? why does it have x86 packages compiled and available for me to brick my machine with?04:04
svetlanabecause all ubuntu editions use the same repos04:04
froyosvetlana, thanks for info04:04
lotuspsychjesysop2: if you want to port your own device, try #snappy04:05
froyoUbuntu-Touch don't have it's own repos yet (I hope it will be, since it's hard to find the suitable apps)04:05
sysop2yea but do you have to go to the trouble of compiling  them for x86 if they are not usuable?04:05
sysop2do you see my point?04:06
bjgbobkostkon, I checked out the multimedia settings in system settings, but there isn't much useful there. It just shows that Phonon is using the GStreamer backend and lets me choose which devices to prefer for different audio types04:06
lotuspsychjesysop2: again...for x86 you need ubuntu desktop, not touch04:06
kostkonbjgbob, ok04:06
svetlanafroyo: or maybe these people will invent a 'this package is for: ' line in package metadata, so that 'package for gnome' or 'package for a touch thingy' are available for filtering out some results; keeping separate repos where a package might be ok for both platforms is a bit non-brainer04:06
sysop2and again why do you ubuntu touch compiled for x86?04:06
froyosysop2 - maybe, this is the thing you looking for - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen04:07
svetlanabecause x86 mobiles exist04:07
froyox86 is 32 bit04:07
sysop2I need a touch screen interface so I can use this as a tablet. how can I get one?04:07
froyosome i386 and 168604:07
lotuspsychjeubuntu desktop has already touch support04:07
svetlanai know that it's 32bit; still, 32bit mobiles exist04:07
svetlanathere are no plans to drop 32bit support that i know of04:07
sysop2really how do I activate the touch support?04:08
froyoI hope they will be not...32 bit still rocking the bussiness.04:08
svetlanado you have a touch screen or not04:08
lotuspsychjesysop2: install ubuntu desktop..04:08
froyosyspo2, try here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen04:08
sysop2due I have the touch screen working, that is not my problem I need a touch based interface.04:09
sysop2dude I meant04:09
froyowhat you mean by the interface?04:09
lotuspsychjesysop2: what kind of laptop is this?04:10
froyoYa...your laptop sounds very rare...04:10
sysop2its a lifebook.04:10
lotuspsychjesysop2: what Os comes default on it?04:10
sysop2dell makes convertibles with ubuntu installed from the factory.04:10
sysop2so not that rare.04:11
lotuspsychjesysop2: wich ubuntu are you trying right now?04:11
froyosysop2, then it should be configured for touch screen.04:11
froyoYou just need to find the right button.04:11
sysop2I can get the touch screen to work, but where is the on screen keyboard? can I login from the touch screen with out using the physical keyboard?04:12
froyoOn screen keyboard..can be installed04:12
froyofrom repos04:12
sysop2but does it work on the login screen?04:12
svetlanawhat's the problem with installing ubuntu-touch on it then04:12
sysop2or the lock screen?04:12
svetlanaif it has a touch screen04:12
froyoYes...you just need to configure04:12
kostkonsysop2, click on the human icon on the login screen, top-right04:12
lotuspsychjeit doesnt need ubuntu touch, it needs ubuntu desktop04:12
svetlanawhy04:13
lotuspsychjesvetlana: ubuntu touch only works on nexus devices04:13
sysop2ok so you are saying I can use my convertible completely as a tablet by using desktop?04:13
lotuspsychjesysop2: yes04:13
sysop2ok brb. let me reinstall and try this out.04:13
froyolotus - actually...it's compatible with other..you just need to make modification in the kernel04:13
kostkonsysop2, you could try the ubuntu-next iso, i.e. ubuntu touch for the desktop, but it's just for testing.04:13
sysop2now thats more like it!04:14
sysop2I will look for ubuntu-next!04:14
svetlanalotuspsychje: i assume this will change though?04:14
froyosvetlana - it will04:14
svetlanagood04:14
svetlanathanks04:14
froyojust need more support04:14
kostkonsysop2, yes, the ubuntu touch interface, ie unity8 is coming to the desktop but just not yet04:14
froyoand need more contract from manufactureers04:15
lotuspsychjesvetlana: yes, alot of stuff is happening, snappy,a guys running ubuntu on regular tablets also04:15
sysop2if I can login and unlock my computer just from the touch screen and use an onscreen keyboard I am ok with standard ubuntu.04:15
lotuspsychjesvetlana: but thats still all experimental04:15
froyoCan we change the DE of ubuntu-touch to others, like desktop?04:15
lotuspsychjefroyo: see ubuntu core, snappy04:16
froyowhy you giving me link about the snappy development tools?04:17
Eloquence_hi - does anyone have tips/hacks for getting the samson meteor (or a similar un-detected usb mic) to work with google hangouts?04:19

froyoHey again, instead of aliasing path/program, how do I export them?04:19
froyoas a $PATH?04:19
Xeexport PATH=$PATH:/new/stuff/here04:19
Xedo that in bashrc04:20
froyoXe..how should I access it..after declaring it?04:20
Xeyou do it in bashrc04:20
Xeand then reload bash04:20
froyoI know Xe, but how can I access the Path...with just single commands like ./example or stuf04:23

ZippieGood morning folks! Does any of you know a way to pxe boot a preinstalled / configured ubuntu server completely into ram (without using nfs as root filesystem) ? I've setup a lightweight minimal ubuntu with hostapd and want to recreate a sort of "cisco central lap management". So basically: Diskless pc's, a wifi nic, boot it from a central server via pxe and then config it with a script. For this purpose i need a stateless system05:58
Blue1Zippie: I think tails does that05:59
=== karstensrage_ is now known as karstensrage
Blue1Zippie: https://tails.boum.org/05:59
ZippieBlue1: Haven't seen this one before.. But if i used this i'd had to remove everything tor related and add everything hostapd related to the image i guess?06:02
Blue1Zippie: I am not familiar with hostapd - but yes I would think so.06:03
Blue1the concept behind tails is that once booted it never touches a file structure, unless you specifically mount one.  iow you can't save anything to the desktop for example.06:04
Blue1Zippie: that may not be suited for your needs - but off the top of my head, that is the only discless distro I am aware of.  YMMV applies06:05
ZippieBlue1: Maybe i'll just have to go the long way and create a ramdisk upon pxe boot, copy the rootfs to that ramdisk and then disconnect the nfs share + remount /06:06
Blue1yup.06:06
Blue1something like mount -o remount r /06:07
QwertieI have a kind of an odd problem. Sound only works while im in tty. Anyone have any ideas?06:07
ZippieBlue1: I cannot believe that some guys using linux systems in hpc-clusters / blade centers haven't came up with such a thing yet06:08
Blue1Zippie: yup you'd think that would be a common issue.  guess it's not06:08
Blue1Qwertie: what type of sound card?06:09
Blue1Qwertie: you have pulseaudio installed?06:10
QwertieBlue1 the one built into my msi mobo. Sound was working before but then I went into tty and now it only works there06:10
QwertieHavent tried a reboot yet but I was wondering what might have caused that.06:10
Blue1Qwertie: might be pulseaudio -- check your setup once you are in x06:11
Blue1Qwertie: ahh theraputic reboots06:11
QwertieGonna just reboot and see if that works06:12
Blue1Qwertie: what sound card and what version ru running?06:12

shazzrses1984: What's your situation?06:42
ses1984i want to convert my system to raid 0. i made an install disk. i booted from it. it does not boot into a gui, i just see a login screen looping over and over again06:43
ses1984can't even switch to another cnnsole ilke ctrl-alt-fx06:43
ses1984i dont know if the installer is corrupted or what06:43
ses1984actually it's 15.04 so maybe it's just broken on my hardware06:43
ses1984if i catch the installer before it attempts to log in to a gui for the first time, i can switch to a text console and here i am06:44
ses1984somehow i dont think reading that file raw will be of much help to you...06:46
ses1984wrong window06:46
shazzrses1984: I guess you pointed it out yourself. Download and try with an earlier version. 14.04 as mentioned by dna would probably be a good place to start.06:47
ses1984i just downloaded it. but now how do i burn it to the same usb stick that i booted from...06:48
ses1984i just tried to unmount and it's busy by something which is no big surprise06:48
ses1984i'm trying to pull the root out of a running system06:48

ses1984my linux fu not strong enough06:49
ses1984to fix it live06:49
shazzrses1984: How did you burn your first usb stick?06:51
ses1984i had a working ubuntu 14.04. burned the usb stick. rebooted into bios. made a raid volume out of my hard drives. attempted to boot usb stick...and it fails.06:51
ses1984can't go back to the system i had before06:51
ses1984when i burned the usb stick i actually rebooted into the stick to test things...06:52
ses1984but i did not go far enough06:52
ses1984i just tested that it was bootable06:52
ses1984i did not test that i could actually start the installer06:52

ses1984have a blank one06:54

F2Knightshazzr there is no difference , however try looking at extended attributes. us lsattr to see if any are set07:15
F2Knightlsattr07:16
F2Knight-------------e- ./findilo.sh07:16
shazzrF2Knight: No worries now. The folder is gone. So hiexpo's tip worked.07:16
greenridehiexpo: Let me verify that I did this correctly. At a terminal, I typed `gksudo nautilus`. Then, I went to the folder in the gui and right clicked. Then, I went to `Move To Trash`. Is that correct?07:16
hiexpogreenride, yes07:16
F2Knightstill fun to know, you can also set the 'i' or immutable attribute. I do this a lot on things like authorized keys files and such keeps even root from deleting it with out unsetting it07:16
shazzrgreenride: I just did ALT+F2 and typed gksudo nautilus07:17
hiexpogreenride, it my be a file owner issue07:18
greenridehiexpo: When I did that, I get the message `Quiz` can't be put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?07:18

iskuhdzljslI'm currently working off a liveUSB session on a laptop, and woud like to gain access to a Windows drive (Windows is in hibernate) without starting Windows. Lubuntu won't let me mount through the GUI, as it says the drive is in hibernate... but suggests that I should attempt to mount with the read-only flag. I went to /media/lubuntu, but naturally, there's nothing listed there, because the drive's not mounted. How do I mount in09:31
Seveasiskuhdzljsl: mkdir /mnt/windows; mount -t ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/yourwindowsdrivehere /mnt/windows09:32
phpcoderBen64, maybe aproblem with nvidia driver09:32
phpcoderi do not know09:33
iskuhdzljslSeveas - and get the ID of the Windows drive from gparted?09:33

iskuhdzljslSeveas - cool. Giving it a shot now.09:34

Seveasiseon: ok, so you're building the 15.04 kernel for a 15.04 machine on a debian box? (I really want to make sure I understand you correctly before gicing bad advice)10:45
iseonYes, that is correct10:45
Seveasok, then I suggest you look at pbuilder10:45
Seveason debian you can create an ubuntu 15.04 build chroot with pbuilder and then use pbuilder to build the kernel package. That way you get closest to what Ubuntu itself does.10:46
SeveasIf you need to make changes before building, you can do that on Debian just fine and build source packages (debuild -s) which you then turn into binary packages with pbuilder.10:46
phpcodergys is there a log where can i see why my the gui is messed up10:47
iseonI will check it out, does it mean that I need a full ubuntu 15.04 filesystem on the debian box though?10:47
phpcoder?10:47
Seveasphpcoder: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsession-errors10:47
Seveasiseon: you need a minimal chroot, which pbuilder will create for you.10:47
iseonSeveas: very cool, thanks that is super helpful :):)10:48
DukeDrake_bbl10:48
Seveasiseon: it caches it compressed, that takes 113MB. During build you'll need a bit more diskspace.10:48

mailsenderHi ubuntu people, i am having 2 issues with my ubuntu 14.04 .       first i wanted to send mail using php mail() and it did not seem to work. after debugging and installing of some mailing systems, the server was slow so i restarted it. it now will not run a simple "hello world".11:24
mailsenderi looked at netstat and i do not see anything on port 8011:24
mailsenderhtop shows apache running and i also restarted apache which showed no error11:25
mailsenderhow can i tell if apache is running on port 80?11:26
mailsenderwhat to look for in the netstat output?11:26
lotuspsychjemailsender: try an nmap -PN -sV on your ip11:26
mailsendernmap -PN -sV 172.88.my.ip11:27
mailsenderis this the syntax?11:27
lotuspsychjemailsender: yes11:28
mailsenderthanks, i am doing it11:28
bekksmailsender: lsof -i | grep 8011:28
Apachezany of you who knows if theres a virtual usb driver within ubuntu repositories? that is so I can mount a directory to behave as a usb drive (to then be used as a usb drive for virtualbox for the vmguest to reach)?11:29
mailsenderlsof -i | grep 80 showed nothing11:29
bekksSo nothing is running.11:29
bekksDid you use sudo?11:29
mailsenderok thanks11:29
mailsenderahhh, sudo brings up all kinds of things11:30
mailsenderso if apache is listening on port 80, why can't i run a simple hello world?11:30
bekksmailsender: firewall blocking issue, routing issue, configuration issue, etc.11:31
mailsenderthe thing is i just used that file to test the mail() function and after i rebooted it does not run any php code on the server11:34
mailsenderall i did was installing and uninstalling sendmail, postfix and similar ubuntu mail packages11:34
mailsenderso i do not know which of those actions might have impacted apache11:35

nrdbDReynolds, have you tried to take the 'lightdm' out of the startup sequence.13:58
cfhowlettDReynolds, choose advanced ubuntu options > recovery ode13:59
cfhowlett*mode*13:59
DReynoldsnrdb: i shall try that in a min, when im back booted into it. .. cfhowlett: doesn't recovery mode do more than just not load GUI?14:01
haskell0_Can I install 32 bit CUDA 7, on my 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04?14:01
cfhowlettDReynolds, straight to CLI as you requested14:01
baxxI'm trying to use dselect and dpkg to script the creating of a package list and the install to another system14:03
baxxI've found guides and followed them, it's not working though14:03
rahulprodevhello, what's the root (su) password?14:03
rahulprodevtoor?14:03
baxxgoing from a 14.04 system to 14.04 in VirtualBox14:03
cfhowlett!root | rahulprodev14:04
ubotturahulprodev: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo14:04
nrdbrahulprodev, you can log in as a user the user "sudo -i" to get to a root shell14:04
rahulprodevthanks it's working :)14:04
rahulprodevcfhowlett, nrdb14:05
nrdbrahulprodev, yes14:05
rahulprodevI wipe my home partition LOL :P14:06

oopainehi@ll, i like to use two network interfaces on my machine at the same time, how can i set this up?14:07
nrdbrahulprodev, does coping the /etc/skeleton directory to the /home/<user> help?14:07
rahulprodevnrdb, ok I'll try that.14:08
sleepeehey guys.  anybody know what's the worst that could happen if i reinstall and leave the /var partition unformatted?14:08
nrdboopaine, you can bind two interfaces into one virtual one that is faster.14:09
baxxok thanksssssssssssss14:09
rahulprodevbaxx, i'm naive in linux scripting and command line :)14:09
oopainei use virtualbox14:10
sleepeei'm reinstalling a machine i was using as a kvm host but i want to save the kvm guests that were in the /var partition...14:10
rahulprodevbaxx, someone else can help u:)14:10
rahulprodevnrdb for /etc/skelton you mean skel directory?14:10
nrdbrahulprodev, yes thats it.  I didn't remember it correctly14:11
baxxrahulprodev: no worries! thanks for letting me know :)14:12
sleepeenow that i think, i should probably ask in the ubuntu-server channel14:12
nrdbsleepee, I would suggest that you install as usual ... and after installation edit the /etc/fstab to mount the partition on top of the /var directory14:15
sleepeeahhh.. ok.  so just keep var in the / during the install and then separate it after the installation?14:16
nrdbsleepee, that way the '/var/' partition won't be touched during the install process.  and your VMs should be left alone... but as always a backup is always a good idea.14:18
sleepeeok.  thanks nrdb!  i'm going to give that a try!14:18
sleepeethanks for your help!14:18
nrdbI am having trouble with setting the grub boot record ... I in a chroot, I have used mount bind ... to mount /dev etc... but I am still having a lot of trouble with doing the 'grub-install' ... it keeps complaining about /dev not being mounted... how do I fix this.14:20
bodo_hi. i want to install ubuntu unity. and i dont want only 1 partition i did create 2 beside swap. what type do i need to chose primary or logical?14:22
nrdbbodo_, it really doesn't matter, but you must use logical only if you need more than 4.14:23
bodo_oh ok. so if i have swap, / and /home i can use primary14:24
nrdbbodo_, yes.14:24
bodo_thank you14:24
bodo_is there any way to make ubuntu unity more fun? i mean can i personalize it somehow? like some effects or so?14:26
bodo_and make it look better?14:26
kostkonbodo_, sure, you can install gnome3 themes, icon themes (unity tweak will make the process easier) and enable more compiz effects using ccsm14:30

sysop2still cant unlock using onboard.  I tried this but didnt help gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver embedded-keyboard-enabled false14:41
oopaineit's a virtualbox settings: 1 interface NAT and the second hostOnly ....  this machine is connected to the internat at the momend and packagesdownload works.14:44
sysop2I meant true on the end of that.14:45
zerowaitstateoopaine: it should just work. the host-only interface will get its routes via DHCP from virtualbox, and ditto for the NAT adapter14:46
zerowaitstateoopaine: that NAT adapter needs to be the default route (i.e., 0.0.0.0/0)14:47
zerowaitstateoopaine: the default route for the VM that is, not your actual computer14:47
zerowaitstateoopaine: but virtualbox usually handles this right14:47
oopainei like to have a static ip adress for the hostOnly14:48
zerowaitstateoopaine: that's fine. just ensure that the 0.0.0.0 route always points to the NAT adapter and you're good14:49
zerowaitstateoopaine: the route to the host-only adapter will need to be a network that matches the IP assigned to the interface14:49
zerowaitstateoopaine: but generally, in a virtualbox environment, you are only talking about single-hop for hostonly connections, so there's no route propagation to worry about14:50
oopaineokay, thx ... i'll try. :)14:51
zerowaitstateoopaine: hence, the ip-address and subnet mask of the hostonly interface automatically creates a "direct-connect" route for that interface14:51
wolfdogive been using cmus as my music player, which i LOVE. . while im working in console its great, but if I start X it wont play in the background while im working in that, comes back on only when i ctrl-alt-f2 back to my terminal. .. is there any way to get it persistently whever i am?14:51

shinkaIf I want to use a bash command like "echo "export PATH=$HOME/Applications/sbt/bin/:$PATH" >> .bashrc ", $PATH and $HOME will be evaluated, but I want the send the strings $HOME and $PATH to bashrc, not evaluate them. Is there an escape character for this?15:04
gooseshinka: \${HOME}15:05
[n0mad]i found information on this in the past but now cannot. when i add programs to the launcher it's just adding blank spaces. Is there anything I can do besides logout/login? Why is this happening?15:06
gooseshinka: also, if you're going to be using the variable in a continuous path (i.e. $HOME/stuff) you should put the variable in brackets (i.e. ${HOME}/stuff)15:06
gooseshinka: but \$ will escape the $15:06
shinkagoose: Thanks!15:07
gooseshinka: alternatively, if you quote it using single ticks (i.e. echo 'export PATH=${HOME}/Applications/sbt/bin/:${PATH}') then the string will be printed as-is15:07
gooseand there won't be any need to escape anything15:07

AnnoyedFor now, I'm installing an older package, 30415:17
d2lAnnoyed: not really. it seems its a common problem and the only thing you can do is dpkg reconfigure the nvidia packages. but it breaks itself again when there is another kernel related update. so another reconfiguration is in order.15:19

OerHeksinfinitesum, if you are a beginner, question the program why it does not work with python 3.415:45

OerHeksinfinitesum, so how do you tell python 3.4 is broken?15:46
infinitesumif you google `ubuntu ensurepip`, there are several threads about how the trusty version of 3.4 is missing some key libraries needed to make virtualenvs work out of the box15:46

iampozhi everyone, I am new to making scripts and would like to make a fairly simple one. I am wondering if anyone could help or if it is off topic for here. shell or even awk would be fine.17:50
yoosi_X_C_V_B_: what are you trying to install?17:50
_X_C_V_B_yoosi: me and my shadow17:50
EriC^^iampoz: script to do what?17:50
_X_C_V_B_I got it working17:50
sysop2I need to run a perl script to make my touchscreen work,  where do I configure it to run right as lightdm does, it requires  x to be running so I cant put it in rc.local.17:51
sysop2that way I can use my touchscreen to login with.17:52
iampozthe goal of the script would be, for example: take the first text (csv file) of each line and then run a command that makes a file with that name17:52
EriC^^iampoz: first text of each line? can you give a sample of the line?17:53
EriC^^is the only thing on the line the filename?17:53
iampozAAA,BBB,CCC ; first text of the line is AAA17:53
SchrodingersScatiampoz: echo "AAA,BBB,CCC" | cut -d , -f117:55
EriC^^iampoz: for i in $(sed 's/,/\n/g' /path/to/file); do touch $i;done17:56
EriC^^SchrodingersScat: that will only take the first column of every line17:56
MonkeyDustiampoz  there's also #bash and #ubuntu-app-devel17:56
konamam i the only one experiencing EXTREME memery leak from firefox 37 ubuntu 14.04?17:57
konammemory*17:57
iampozEriC^^, I will try that17:58
TheNumbkonam: disable all the extensions and try again.17:58
SchrodingersScatEriC^^: thought that was the point, oh well.17:58
ioriaiampoz i'll do a little c prog that fread each line and then calls system touch to create the file in a loop17:59
EriC^^iampoz: use for i in $(sed 's/,/\n/g' /path/to/file); do touch "$i"; done17:59
EriC^^in case it has spaces in the filename17:59
konamthat kind of would beat the point of firefox wouldn't it? :)  TheNumb17:59
konamI'll just go back to 3417:59
TheNumbkonam: one of the extensions might be buggy.18:00
sysop2konam, whenever I run chrome and firefox my swap starts filling up, I have to activate a swap file and then swapoff the partition and then swapon it and then swapoff the swapfile.18:00
sysop2that will clear out the swap for awhile till it starts building back again.18:01
iampozSchrodingersScat, that was the point. you were right. Just not sure how to change "AAA,BBB,CCC" into the input file, I guess if I am in the directory, I just need to put the file name so I will try that.18:01
konamsysop2 i don't use swap partitions18:01
sysop2its been happening for years across many different versions.18:01
sysop2you dont use swap at all?18:01
sysop2or do you use a swap file?18:02
EriC^^iampoz: if you use SchrodingersScat command it will only take AAA from the first line, and ignore BBB and CCC18:02
konami never have issues with memor + firefox, just started happening on this version sysop218:02
konamsysop2 no, i don't use swap at all, i used to but saw that the benefits were minimal18:02
iampozEriC^^, sorry that I was not more clear, that is what I want. I ran yours and it worked, but it also made files with names from BBB and CCC18:03
sysop2if you have enough ram your are right,  but I still use them, I guess out of tradition lol18:03
konamsysop2 if there were any benefits at all. i haven't missed it, everything has kept running smoothly18:03
EriC^^iampoz: oh ok18:03
konamsysop2 yes, i used to do it out of tradition too haha18:03
SchrodingersScatEriC^^ / iampoz: would sed 's/,.*//g' work?  would remove everything after the first comma, yeah?18:04

konamsysop2 when my pc doubled as media center i didn't hibernate much either. changed my setup and now i do it a lot18:08
Bashing-omikonia: OK, I am in a learning mode .. as I understand it, swap is not even touched till there are ram usage contraints ?18:09

BZWingZeroI have a samba share set up on my linux server, being accessed from my windows desktop. Files created on the share in windows are given the wrong permissions: 770. I need help getting newly created files to have 774 permissions.18:09
ikoniaswap is not just used as an overflow buffer18:09
BZWingZeroI have already configured my samba.conf, but it seems to be ignored18:10
daftykinsBZWingZero: use the samba share declaration to force default perms18:10
BZWingZerodaftykins, they're being ignored18:10
daftykinsyour values must be wrong18:10
Bashing-omikonia: Noted ! Thanks for the instruction .18:10
daftykinsdouble check them with testparm18:10
daftykinsBZWingZero: bear in mind in the conf, i think they need to be written as 077418:10
ikoniaBashing-om: there is more to it than that, but thats just a high level summary18:10
BZWingZerodaftykins, http://pastebin.com/vbzLved3 current relevant config from testparm18:11
daftykinslol path removed18:12
Bashing-omikonia: Good place to start the thought process, though . I have yet to ever know enough .18:12
daftykinsoh noes i don't know your local share18:12
BZWingZeroconsidering this will end up being a web-root...18:13
daftykinsoh no you're not one of those web devs that copies and pastes are you?18:13
BZWingZero(either way, path is irrelevant for the problem, its functioning properly)18:13
daftykinsBZWingZero: so the Windows client is being used via guest?18:13
BZWingZerocorrect18:13
daftykinsto which query?18:14
sysop2I need to run a perl script to make my touchscreen work,  where do I configure it to run right as lightdm starts, it requires  x to be running so I cant put it in rc.local.18:14
BZWingZerowindows has mapped the share via guest.18:14
daftykinsvalid users and guest seems a contradiction to me18:14
BZWingZeroI think18:14
BZWingZerosmbstatus shows the correct username18:15
BZWingZerobut turning off guest access prevents from connecting.18:15
daftykinsonly as that's how you've authed with the samba host most likely18:16
daftykinsyou would have to disconnect the share, remove it from the Windows user accounts' cache then retry18:16
daftykinswhat ubuntu is running on the host end?18:17
BZWingZerolts 14.04.218:17
BZWingZeroserver18:17

daftykinsok let me just check out the configs on the hosts i deal with18:18
BZWingZerotake your time. I appreciate the help. Spent 6 hours fruitlessly googling yesteday on this problem.18:18
daftykinsBZWingZero: first off, keep a copy of your current /etc/samba/smb.conf then and we'll mess with it :D18:19
BZWingZeroSomething else that makes me go "huh". If I change my create mask and force create mode to 0777, newly created files get all permissions EXCEPT global read.18:19
BZWingZerowhich is what I need18:19

daftykinsso i take it the use case here is web dev work?18:20
EriC^^BZWingZero: daftykins will get you all set i'm sure ;)18:20
BZWingZerodaftykins, for now. I built a linux server to learn. Web is my day job, figured I might as well start with learning how to config a webserver18:20
BZWingZeroEriC^^, ty for your help yesterday :)18:20
EriC^^np :)18:20
daftykinsooh am i making 3 a crowd? was there some input on this one yesterday?18:21
BZWingZerodaftykins, we ran into a brick wall a few times. Not much success.18:21
EriC^^daftykins: no, i was trying to help him, i don't know anything about samba though18:21
daftykinsBZWingZero: so as default the apache2 doc root is /var/www/html, what've you done to handle file ownership in there?18:22
daftykinsi tend to create a web site management group, then add my user and www-data to it18:22
BZWingZeroI'm using nginx. I have a user account with full access to the folder.18:22
daftykinsright but you can't really have your user own the path and nginx run as a different user18:22
daftykinsso i do the above then have the doc root owned by www-data:mygroup18:23
daftykinsBZWingZero: just as an example this is the config i have for someone - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852300/18:24
daftykinsi make use of the Windows user accounts on the clients to auth directly with the samba host, i create the users then set their smb passwords with smbpasswd18:25
BZWingZeroI suspect its a user account issue, and not actually a samba.conf issue. And I know next to nothing about linux user accounts18:25
daftykinsrighty-o, well first step you'll want to disconnect the mapped drive on your Windows host, then run "control userpasswords2" and check the advanced tab -> manage passwords for any stored passes for that host. Probably nothing there though since guest is in use18:27
BZWingZeroThe windows network drive mapping is dead18:27
_jayissues on upgrade 12.04-14.04- currently I have no desktop icons. They start to load, but is seems like it crashes when generating jgeg or pdf previews? Folder icons are there already at first login.18:29
=== dm7freek is now known as macfreek
daftykinsBZWingZero: as in removed?18:31
BZWingZeroyes. The windows computer has no trace of the mapped share.18:32
wafflejockBZWingZero, regular linux user accounts aren't really very complicated, /etc/passwd has all the users and their login shell, /etc/group has the group listings, you can use the "groups" command to see groups for the logged in user or "groups username" to see groups for a particular user... so a user can be in many groups, each path (file/directory) has two parts to the ownership the user and the group, then it has the permissions18:33
wafflejock which control read/write/execute for the paths user, group, and anyone else (other)18:33
BZWingZerowafflejock, so a lot less granualr than windows accounts.18:33
wafflejockBZWingZero, unless you install some access control list (ACL) stuff it's really a little less sophisticated than windows permissions18:33
wafflejockbut I'm not really privvy to the samba problems, I do use VirtualBox for running dev environments but I just use the virtual box shared folder settings and it's linux in linux18:34
daftykinsBZWingZero: so right now does your Linux user match your Windows username?18:34
BZWingZerodaftykins, at the moment yes. I can create a new account on either if needed.18:35
daftykinsnah that's ideal18:35
daftykinsBZWingZero: run "sudo smbpasswd -a <username>" to create a password for SMB usage, make it the same as your Windows login password18:35
BZWingZerodone18:36
wafflejock_jay, would suggest trying to boot with nomodeset in your boot parameters, do you have grub show up on boot?18:37
=== chattmatt is now known as maxjezy
_jayyes18:37
wafflejock_jay, might be a problem with your graphics driver nomodeset will fall back to the vesa (default generic) drivers18:38
daftykinsBZWingZero: try changing your smb.conf share to this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10852382/18:38
wafflejock_jay, you can hit "e" at grub to edit the boot config, where you see quiet or nosplash add in nomodeset18:38
daftykinsBZWingZero: "sudo service smbd restart" and "sudo service nmbd restart" after the file edit18:38
BZWingZeroof course. one moment18:38
_jayDo you think using one of the older drivers in the additional software panels could work? There are 4 choices18:39

_jayok18:43
BZWingZero(all traces of share nuked from orbit with vengance)18:43
daftykinsBZWingZero: as is mine :) ok but it might go screwy carrying on without a reboot. try mapping the drive share again, at which point it should just pop up auto as it'll use the user's credentials auto18:44
daftykinsBZWingZero: then create a file of any kind in there if it works and show me an "ls -al /path" to see what it does18:44
BZWingZerodaftykins, upon mapping the share it prompts for a password, with the <username>@<linuxhost>. I put in the pw for that user and it fails.18:45
daftykinsthat's not how you state a username for samba18:45
BZWingZeronope, its how you'd state it if you were sshing in18:46
daftykinsand it definitely should have come up auto if the usernames and passwords match18:46

The SSH client is on the same network segment as Ubuntu...no firewall or IPS in-between. I have tried restarting the SSH service and restarting Ubuntu but is still the same.19:18
daftykinsBZWingZero: from the ls -al of your document root, can you give me the line for "." at the top? or just PM me a paste of the whole ls -al /path listing19:18
daftykinsassuming you want it kept private hence only sharing single lines19:18
daftykinsReGiStRaS: how long are we talking?19:18

ReGiStRaSI have input the UseDNS no statement in sshd..config already19:19
BZWingZerodaftykins, check your PM19:19
daftykinsBZWingZero: yep thanks, hmm can you restart the ubuntu host just for fun? makes zero sense but just wanna try it19:20
daftykinsnothing there looks wrong to me19:21
BZWingZeroits rebooting19:21
daftykinsmust be an nginx quirk19:21
ReGiStRaSanyone please?19:21
Guest47012I don't know how to use irc. Is there a manual?19:21
BZWingZeroGuest47012, ever used a chatroom? IRC is just a chatroom19:22
EriC^^Guest47012: it depends on your client, basic stuff is /join #channel, /part and /query <nick> to msg19:22
BZWingZerodaftykins, rebooted successfully.19:22

BZWingZerodaftykins, hmmm, strange. the files created in the share (and therefore username bzwingzero) are not accessable via nginx.19:24
BZWingZerochown to www-data makes them accessable19:24
daftykinshmm, run "groups www-data" ?19:25
BZWingZerowww-data share19:25
nashantHey, anyone know if it's possible to scale any desktop? So I can effectively increase the resolution so I can fit more on screen19:25
EriC^^nashant: you can set custom resolutions with xrandr19:25
daftykinsnashant: you mean run a higher resolution than the display is capable of? you can do that with panning i think19:25
Guest47012<EriC^^> Thanks19:26
daftykinsBZWingZero: mmm, getting pretty close then19:26
BZWingZeroIf I could just map the share as www-data@linuxHost instead of my windows user, wouldn't that work?19:27
daftykinsthat's one way yep19:27
BZWingZerohowever I'd need www-data's password19:27
nashantEriC^^, daftykins: the actual resolution isn't what I'm after. I'm accessing a VM on my server via ThinLinc using an RPi thin client, but ThinLinc doesn't seem to have any option for screen scaling19:29
daftykinsBZWingZero: or to set it. mmm ok on my own little web server mine are created with world read but are owned by user:user so that might be why things still work for me19:29
EriC^^nashant: try xrandr --output <output> --scale 0.75x0.7519:31
EriC^^get the output from xrandr -q19:31
nashantEric^^: max 1920x1200, current 1920x105119:32

OerHeksMscc, what makes you think your ubuntu is hacked?20:49
Mscclow speed OerHeks20:50
OerHeksMscc, sounds more low specs of your machine, what type of cpu and ram do you have?20:51
tijnixDefine your low speed?20:51
MsccOerHeks : ram : 1.5 , cpu intel Pentium20:52
OerHeksMscc,  maybe a lightweight ubuntu version like Xubuntu or Lubuntu is better for your machine20:52
OerHeks* if that intel is a single core20:53
_pg_I have an encrypted home directory on Ubuntu server, and transmission-daemon (running under its default user debian-transmission cannot write to it). How can I let the transmission user and thus transmission have write/read access to my encrypted /home?20:53
Msccyes alright OerHeks20:53
_pg_on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS20:57
nadrosima_pg_:  if want other user an home dir, need give permition to which user !20:57
nadrosima_pg_:  but remember cant read owner files cos owner hash is different20:58
_pg_nadrosima: I don't want another home directory. TM runs under its own user, (debian-transmission) and that user does not have its own home directory. I want it to be able to write to my $USER directory.20:58
_pg_do all processes need to run as root or as $USER to have write access to an encrypted $USER home folder?20:59
nadrosima_pg_:  if you are noot root cant write, but maybe user chown files to you20:59
nadrosima_pg_:  files or dir whatever20:59
OerHeksAs $user, yes20:59
_pg_nadrosima: I have tried adding the tm user to $USER group, giving tm user all group and user perms for download dir, still cannot write to that directory. furthermore tm user can write to any directory outside of /home without issue21:00
ActionParsnip_pg_: add the user of the service to your username'd group. May help21:00
_pg_ActionParsnip: like this? $ sudo usermod --append -G debian-transmission $USER21:01
_pg_already tried that21:01
nadrosima_pg_:  additional info : if a file not owned yours. (maybe you are root) you cant del rem read etc. first change dir permition21:02
ActionParsnip_pg_: yeah then the group membership will give the access. Did you try rebooting after?21:02
_pg_ActionParsnip: yes.21:02
_pg_nadrosima: I have 777 the dir, chown the dir to that user and group, still no go21:02
ActionParsnip_pg_: you need to look at the user owner and group owner then move from there. Make sure the group owner has sufficient access21:02
ActionParsnip_pg_: 777 is a really bad idea21:03
_pg_ActionParsnip: just for troubleshooting21:03
bekks_pg_: 777 imposes trouble, it doesnt help resolving it.21:03
nadrosima_pg_:  chown -R 777  your dir21:04
bekksnadrosima: Thats the worst ideo.21:04
bekks*idea21:04
daftykinsnadrosima: you don't chown with perms ;)21:04
_pg_ActionParsnip: so two directories, every group, user owner, dir permission etc the same, the one on encrpyted home can't be written to by TM user, the one outside of encrypted home can21:04
nadrosimaif a user or app got session on your computer (ex java) yes bad idea21:05
ActionParsnip_pg_: maybe it's an encryptfs thing. Not something I use21:06
_pg_each folder's "stat" is identical21:06

LordWillOI can't figure out how to actually login using the key instead of a password, but I've got the key loaded into authorized_keys on the server22:27
LordWillOhelp!22:27
vonsyd0wgenerate key, copy public key to remote server; login22:31
vonsyd0wyou can use ssh-copy-id to get the key to the remote server22:33
rachohttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_keys22:33
LordWillOI've got the key on the remote server already, but when I go to login, it still prompts for a password (and not the private key password)22:34
LordWillOi have a feeling it's because I haven't done anything with the private key. don't I need to tell SSH where my private key is located?22:35
hkrrsxmorning22:36
rachoLordWillO, it should be appended to ~./.ssh/authorized_keys22:36
rachoLordWillO, read the link ^22:37
LordWillOi am, and the public key IS appended to the authorized_key file on the server I am trying to login to, but don't I need to do something with the private key?22:38
LordWillOwhen I try "ssh user@hostname", it doesn't do anything differewntly, just prompts for the password22:39

vonsyd0wLordWillO, check this link out: http://unix.stackexchange.com/q/36540/3339622:41
LordWillOthat's helpful, I'll try it and let you know.22:43

LordWillOvonsyd0w, still no effect. Is there nothing I need to set to tell ssh where to look for the private key? I unkinowlingly named it webserver instead of the default id_rsa23:00
vonsyd0wmaybe the -i option?23:02
vonsyd0wlook up "man ssh" and the -i flag23:02
vonsyd0wpersonally i'd delete the key and generate a new one w/ the default name23:03
vonsyd0wfix it before it causes future issues23:03
LordWillOit worked. I have the names different because I have several SSH keys I have to keep track of for several systems.23:07

lzkillmy brand new sandisk usb stick breaks my network access whenever I plug it in. what should I look in order to debug this issue?23:29
daftykinsjoao_: although i wonder if this helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138908/how-to-execute-a-script-just-by-double-clicking-like-exe-files-in-windows23:29
EriC^^lzkill: any /dev changes?23:30
daftykinshmm i'd compare dmesg before and after?23:30
EriC^^maybe something is using /dev instead of the uuid or something23:30
lzkillin fact I'm away from the machine where the issue occurs, i'll try to figure this out tomorrow...23:33
lzkillany more ideas besides dmesg and /dev changes?23:33
daftykinslzkill: just to clarify, i'd boot up fresh with the device unplugged, run "dmesg > ~/file" then plug it in and run "dmesg > ~/file2" and share both via pastebin23:35
joao_<daftykins> i will give it a try!23:37
lzkillnice... i'll share my findings with you guys tomorrow night...23:38
lzkillthanks23:38
