[02:41] gracias igual no me responden alli [02:42] qué problema ha [02:43] hey, I have been spending the past hour trying to get VSFTPD working... I am probably just doing something stupid, but I can't for the life of me make my /var/www folder so that I can upload files to it via ftp (I am using FileZilla for client, Ubuntu 14.04 on host). I am getting a 550 error. Here is my vsftpd.conf http://pastebin.com/wz9sTRBA I have /var/www set to chmod 755 and chowned to the user who I can login as, even though I [02:43] get a 550 error. Funny part is, the user can't even edit in their home directory. [02:43] can someone help me out? [02:44] Mad3ngineer: i'd suggest using sftp(transfers files using ssh) instead of ftp [02:44] to clarify, I can login properly via FTP, and if I enter incorrect password, it boots me out, as it should, but when I try to make any changes, it messes up [02:44] For the current uses, I am going to use it over LAN entirely, so I am not that concerned about security at this point [02:44] I will work on security later [02:45] sftp is easier and more secure [02:45] Guest18397 qué problema ha [02:45] will changing to sftp fix that problem? [02:45] likely, yes [02:45] all right, thanks. I'll google up on it [02:45] all you need is a ssh server running [02:46] which I have, OpenSSH [02:46] then you're all set [02:46] so, nothing has to be changed in config? [02:46] nope [02:46] Then what am I doing wrong? [02:46] 550 errors for days [02:46] well you need to use a sftp client [02:46] aka not filezilla [02:46] maybe that's why I always had problems... [02:46] idk if that does it, but its not the same thing as ftp [02:47] filezilla is an FTP client, but lemme check if it supports sftp [02:47] yeah, it does [02:47] Filezilla does support sftp, you just have put sftp:// in front of the destination [02:47] let me try it out... [02:48] hmm, now when I try to /mkdir test it outputs "mkdir /home/mad3ngineer/test: failure" [02:49] in vivid I have to boot an older 3.16 kernel instead of 3.19 for keyboard to work on ecryptfs prompt (macbook pro 11,3) -- anyone know if there is a fix for this? Seems like some people have had similar issues in 3.19 because some HID modules were shuffled around and maybe not in the initrd ? [02:49] tim`: #ubuntu+1 for vivid support until release [02:49] man... VSFTPD has been cruel to configure for me [02:49] release is near tho :o [02:49] probably just something really stupid I am doing, like i said... [02:49] Mad3ngineer: sftp has nothing to do with vsftpd... [02:50] I am using vsftpd as my server [02:50] so, it has to do with my errors, but maybe not sftp [02:50] Mad3ngineer: I'm a little late to the game, but on all my setups I've never bothered with VSFTPD, I just install the SSH server and it supports SFTP out of the box. [02:50] and i'm trying to get you to see that sftp is completely different, better, and more secure [02:50] oh, seriously? [02:50] Mad3ngineer: openssh-server I believe is the package I always use. [02:50] so, vsftpd is uneeded with OpenSSH? [02:51] Mad3ngineer: Yeah I use it all the time to move files around between my laptop and my desktop in the living room. [02:51] Mad3ngineer: more than unneeded, its not related [02:51] dang, then I already had OpenSSH and didn't realise it supported SFTP/FTP [02:51] there is no sftp/ftp [02:51] just sftp? [02:51] right, its a file transfer protocol over ssh [02:52] ok. [02:52] ill read up on this. thanks for pointing me in right direction [02:52] when you log in as a user using sftp, you'll have all the permissions as you would normally [02:52] ah, that makes this really easy === Voyage_ is now known as Voyage === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [03:03] What smtp servers are available for ubuntu/debian? [03:04] apt-cache search smtp [03:05] all of them [03:06] well, I am seeing some problems that may be related to hard disk space... I am running this on a VBox instance, with a virtual hard drive, initially set to 8 gigs. I just tried setting it to 16 gigs with gparted, making the overloaded main partition 16 gigs, (all this after running the vbox_modify command or whatever). Now that I start up ubuntu again, I am seeing the same problem... When I run df -h, it shows 100% usage and it still [03:06] shows the partition with the same size as before I used GParted... It is as if the changes I made in GParted are invisible to ubuntu, but not to GParted... When I started Gparted again, puzzled, sure enough it was still showing the new partition as having 16 gigs (8 free gigs) [03:07] not the new partition, the old one. [03:07] I didnt make a new one. [03:08] is there a command of some sorts that I need to run to make ubuntu see the changes made in GParted? [03:08] daftykins, postfix is good. setting up an smtp, + getting the headers in php right. is a headache as making them go through spam filters is a lot of work [03:09] Voyage: sounds like you're answering your own question? :) [03:09] Mad3ngineer, resize2fs is probably what you're looking for [03:09] better than gparted? [03:09] daftykins, yes. needed comments on it [03:10] dunno, don't do my own email :) [03:10] life is too short! [03:10] you need to let the filesystem know about the newly added GBs to the partition [03:11] makes sense. I guess I need to run resize2fs on my ubuntu instance, the one that is clogged up? [03:13] make sure you read the man pages for the command beforehand. backup anything important as well [03:13] since my server is a virtual instance, I already have it backed up easily [03:14] the beauty of VMs; makes testing easy [03:14] good for inexperienced persons, such as myself... [03:14] well, I looked on the main page with no clue as to what to do... found this http://geekpeek.net/resize-filesystem-fdisk-resize2fs/ [03:15] ran the umount command, and it tells me device is busy... [03:17] you can't unmount a partition if its in use. if you booted into the VM, the device (partition) is in use [03:18] ugh... *scratches head* [03:18] to my knowledge you should be able to run resize2fs on a live filesystem and it'll automagically extend it [03:18] ok [03:18] Mad3ngineer, your best option is to boot to a live cd and make the changes there. === newbie is now known as Guest55727 [03:19] all right [03:19] that way the device isn't in use and you can run fsck afterwards [03:20] all this stuff is kind of confusing.... gonna try to do that [03:23] ask questions if it helps [03:24] well, reading on resize2fs's main page, it says that it doesn't change the size of partitions... I have already done that. That seems to imply that it could do all the filesystem remounting, while the instance is still running, like you said... Now, it wouldn't happen to be an apt-get file, would it? I don't see a .deb link anywhere on the site [03:25] so uh [03:25] ubuntu hacked me [03:25] so I quit life [03:26] <[Saint]> And here we have the emotionally imbalanced IRC troll, in his natural environment, #ubuntu [03:27] <[Saint]> Look at his beautiful markings.

[03:28] Mad3ngineer, you're trying to get an Ubuntu VM with a 16GB vdi file as its HD, to see all 16GB, right? [03:28] yes [03:28] currently it sees 8 gigs [03:28] its currently only seeing 8GB [03:28] i have the partition set to 16 gigs [03:28] using GParted [03:29] I just dont understand why my /dev/mapper/blahblah doesnt see all of it [03:30] if you run "lsblk /dev/mapper/blahblah" what does it show?

[03:50] did you boot to a gparted LiveCD and resize? [03:50] yes [03:50] i triple checked it [03:50] is the .vdi file for the VM 16GB? === anthony is now known as Guest77832 [03:50] yes, already ran the command to resize that from VBox [03:51] Mad3ngineer: "sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit" ? [03:51] oh its an LVM! [03:51] ugh LVM :P i'm out then XD [03:51] uhh [03:51] just realized that, you'll need to extend the LVM as well [03:51] uhhhhhh [03:51] so.... [03:51] well, wiping out .mozilla didnt seem to help. maybe i should just reinstall firefox [03:51] captpicard: no, as above [03:51] run the profile manager. [03:52] captpicard: also - http://askubuntu.com/questions/128036/how-to-run-firefox-profilemanager-with-unity [03:52] starting up gparted again [03:52] gonna look for lvm stuff [03:52] lvextend is the command to do that [03:53] wait... so not in GParted? [03:53] heh [03:53] device -> partition -> lvm -> filesystem. it needs to be adjusted in that order. I've never used gparted to extend lvms; just partitions [03:53] great [03:54] wiped the profile, created a new profile, now i have no sound at all [03:54] ah, ok. [03:54] how about lvextend ? its not going to work in this case ? [03:54] so, in the partition, I expanded /dev/sda2 which contains the /dev/sda5 which is full [03:54] ok, just gonna reinstall firefox [03:54] that is step 2, right [03:55] and i also expanded /dev/sda5 [03:55] just for clarification [03:55] so uh, lvextend [03:55] heh [03:56] lets slow down; lets do what daftykins recommended and see your fdisk -l output; please use paste.ubuntu.com for that [03:56] ok [03:57] wow... as I wait for my instance to load up, paste.ubuntu.com is so much more to-the-point than pastebin. I like it. [03:58] well, I just typed in fdisk -l output [03:58] nothing outputs... at all... [03:58] you'll need to be root [03:58] or use sudo [03:58] i think reinstalling firefox fixed the problem [03:58] ah, ok [03:58] *facepalm* [03:59] still nothing [03:59] so on the VM, if you type "sudo fdisk -l" you get no output? what? [03:59] as useless as this is... paste.ubuntu.com/10854540/ [04:00] remove the word output [04:00] !@ [04:00] just type fdisk -l [04:00] oh my god im retarded [04:00] no [04:00] type "sudo fdisk -l" [04:00] if you look at the prompt, he is root [04:00] oh you were root yes [04:00] my bad, 5am here.

[04:00] i'm actually a regular volunteer here, just one that should not be awake :D [04:01] paste.ubuntu.com/10854543/ [04:01] there we go.... now that we got past the derpiness [04:01] <-- source of derpiness [04:02] so yeah your disk is 16GB, your LV is 8 [04:02] well, 7 without swap [04:02] so... now, I use lvextend? [04:02] presumably, i'm not an LVM person (: [04:03] I am starting to wonder if hitting enter on that default value during the installation was a bad idea [04:03] "Guided lvm installation" or whatever the hell it was [04:03] so uh, heh... trying to use lvextend [04:04] i always avoid LVM as i don't have a clue how to use it \o/ [04:04] that sounds like the plan I should be using [04:04] for home use its not the best for beginners. I don't use it on my laptop, but its in use on all my servers [04:05] what are the benefits of it? [04:05] ugh I dont know what number to put in for lvextend [04:06] can you type vgs, pvs, and lvs at the root prompt [04:06] separate commands [04:07] one after the other and paste.ubuntu.com that [04:07] I'm thinking you'll need to extend the volume group before the lvm [04:07] paste.ubuntu.com/10854555/ [04:08] volume and partition groups are already expanded [04:08] nope just the lvm [04:08] but what number should I set it to? lvextend 15.38g? [04:08] I am so confused [04:10] lvextend /dev/mapper/gitlab--vg-root /dev/sda5 [04:10] that'll extend it to the amount of available free space [04:10] ahhh ok. thanks [04:10] yus [04:10] finally some progress [04:10] now, will LVM just kick in and resize the file system or will I need to do something else [04:12] well lvextend has the "-r" flag which would of extended the underlying filesystem as well. you can do it manually with resize2fs. you should run fsck on the filesystem to check consistency [04:12] aight, so fsck first or after? [04:12] after resizing [04:14] now, what I am trying to do is resize2fs /dev/mapper/gitlab--vg-root /dev/sda5 [04:14] I assume that is wrong? [04:14] its giving me an invalid new size [04:15] "/dev/sda5" isn't a size. remove that [04:15] oh, so that isnt needed. thus the [] brackets [04:15] thank you so much vonsyd0w [04:16] now my df -h is looking good and I learned something new [04:16] boom, its like magic [04:17] dang, it really is.

[08:02] *LTS [08:06] codemagician, august > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DraftReleaseSchedule [08:08] I'm can't get 14.04.2 to work on my NUC5i5RYH so am I forced to use 15.04 ? [08:09] Can anyone explain what the boot option nomodeset does? [08:10] I read some articles saying that 14.04.2 LTS with 'nomodeset' would help with the UI graphical problems during the install [08:10] codemagician, Intel HD Graphics 6000, sounds like too new [08:11] OerHeks: I think so. I didn't see an Intel drivers for their 5th Generation processors (NUC5i5RYH has an i5250U processor) [08:13] OerHeks: The 15.04 beta 2 install worked just fine, but I'd like to stay with the 14.04 LTS line [08:14] I wasn't expecting that even the basic graphics for a desktop environment would be all screwed up. I thought that it would only effect people using 3D or gaming [08:15] i see in the xorg edgers newer stuff > https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/2014q2-intel-graphics-stack-release > https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [08:15] i understand you want to stick with lts, not sure that is going to work for you with this new machine. [08:16] OerHeks: I was wondering if I installed 14.04.2 server edition and then tried to put the windowing system on it and use the 4th gen drivers from intel [08:16] Sure, codemagician, you can install server as a base. [08:16] OerHeks: at the moment, the 14.04.2 LTS Desktop edition wont make it past the installation process [08:17] Unless there is a way to install the 14.04.2 LTS Desktop in a command-line style mode [08:17] i.e. without UI buttons 'next' 'back' continue etc [08:17] You also can use the mini iso, that is textbased, but you need internet for the desktop packages [08:17] !mini [08:17] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:19] !nomodeset [08:19] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[10:03] kiaph, nvidia current, if you're on an older ubuntu [10:04] BluesKaj, NVIDIA binary driver version 331.113 [10:04] loganlee, that's available in the repos [10:04] I looked up most of askubuntu and other forums and everywhere there seems to be different answers for rtl8187 driver. Can you help me with the issue? [10:05] Also I tested it on my friend's laptop and it works fine.

Anybody had similar issues? [10:08] kiaph: How to update it? [10:08] what is the difference between callback and streaming interface? (I am trying to understand how inotify works) [10:08] it took me awhile to get that fixed, your card is probably just using N now [10:08] well i went to 192.168.1.xx and just clicked my routers update button [10:09] it was on a os 2011, now from 2013 lol, but it receives N waves alot better now [10:09] kiaph: You mean 'n' as in b/g/n? [10:09] if noyeap [10:09] yes [10:09] your router is being overloaded [10:10] so intially [10:10] fast fast [10:10] hmmmm no crash yet [10:10] then as it tries to send them back [10:10] gggggggggggggggunit [10:10] it gets slower and slower , if the memory / n support firmware is poor [10:11] eventually you get horrible internet cause your card speaking only N [10:11] and everyone using g around u.. is perfectly fine [10:11] resetting your card proveis you amazing ineternet for like 10-15 seconds but them your communication with router gets slow again, like expoentially?

More specific: only this one VPS. Others (also Ubuntu, but also CentOS) are doping fine. The OS switches to a read-only filesystem. What could be cause this switch? I read multiple possibilities while Googling, but is there a way that I can see what happens. Syslog just quits at the time of backup. [12:43] IsntFunny: i don't know how you could recover the files, i think testdisk needs access to the disk itself and you probably need permission from the hosting company [12:44] IsntFunny: i'm not sure, stick around maybe someone knows [12:44] IsntFunny: can you type df -h and paste it?

I've searched all over and have tried multiple suggestions such as trying gmtp, creating the android dev rules, and a few others. Does anyone have a sure fire way to be able to connect my nexus 5 as a MTP device? [13:03] IsntFunny: ok, there's photorec [13:04] mike7508 if work comp is Linux, then ssh with x forward [13:04] mike7508, so you want to have a private streaming setup? [13:04] it's another tool like testdisk which comes in the package [13:04] IsntFunny: try sudo photorec /dev/vda [13:04] yes pbx exactly, but i have no control over the computers or networking at work [13:05] mitchdavis44 is it #ubuntu-touch question? [13:05] that's why i figured something that i woudl be able to control from a webbrowser woudl be best [13:05] IsntFunny: it searches for files that have a certain header, it has a list of files you can choose to recover, or you can give it a sample header and have it search for those files [13:05] gry - no it is not. It's a stock nexus 5. [13:06] EriC^: ok, photorec is running [13:07] mitchdavis I was told Ubuntu touch runs on nexus devices, and android stuff also suggests it is that [13:07] 2000 iles so far [13:07] what did you tell it to recover IsntFunny ? === Tin_man is now known as Tin_man_chores [13:08] the home dir i hope [13:08] gry I'm not sure what you're meaning...Ubuntu touch does run on nexus' devices but I'm just trying to connect my nexus 5 as a mtp device not do anything with ubuntu touch. [13:08] ok [13:09] EriC^: it is just searching for files right now [13:09] IsntFunny: did you select the file header? [13:09] IsntFunny: it's under file opt next to search [13:10] EriC^: but i need all files, not some specific? [13:10] IsntFunny: i dont think you can, not sure [13:10] IsntFunny: you can recover all txt files if you want [13:10] how did it delete those files?! [13:10] mike7508, apologies for answering a question you didn't ask, but have you looked at streaming from e.g. google play or amazon music? [13:11] mitchdavis44: For connecting android devices, I normally install airdroid on the android device and then just connect using a web browser on the computer, I'v enever needed to physically connect the two [13:12] pbx i had not... never tried their services... i just didn't know if something like shoutcast wouldn't be better suited for this [13:12] DJones: I also use AirDroid, great program [13:13] DJones I guess I'll have to give that a shot, I'm pretty much out of options.

Just installed 14.04 and boggled by all the different nvidia graphics options, and why Additonal Drivers isn't auto-detecting my NVidia card... [14:16] ...do I really need to add a PPA to out-of-the-box ubuntu before apt-get will let me install binary drivers? [14:17] isarl: what video card is it? [14:17] 750 Ti [14:17] isarl: and what kernel are you on? "uname -a"? === nbm is now known as notbm [14:18] 3.16.0-30-generic [14:18] sorry, GeForce GTX 750 Ti [14:19] do you know since which driver number its supported from nvidia blob? [14:19] I mean I can use Nvidia's webpage to download 346.59 drivers and just run the shell script [14:19] but I figured there might be a way to do it through aptitude [14:19] or whatever, it's been a few releases since I've used ubuntu (pre-unity) [14:20] I tried doing apt-get install nvidia-graphics-drivers-346 to no avail [14:20] there is no 346 in the ubuntu repo for 14.04 [14:20] again: what video driver version do you need at least? [14:21] nvidia's website recommends 346.59 for my GPU [14:21] ironically I remember this being EASIER last time I installed an ubuntu system using nvidia, but maybe I'm just misremembering [14:22] they always recommend the latest. the question is since when its supported. ubuntu 14.04 ships 331 [14:22] so you're saying if I s/346/331 on my apt-get command it should work? [14:22] sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 [14:23] ah, now that's actually doing something [14:23] but i dont know if it works with your video card. [14:23] so what you're telling me is that 331 is the latest in the official repos, and if I want newer, then I have to either find a 3rd-party PPA, or download them directly from NVidia's website? === ahhh is now known as liz_30_ [14:24] isarl: yes.

I'm about to install Ubuntu MATE on Acer Aspire ES1-311. I've got myself this far, where I've defined used partitions, and installer is asking for device for boot loader installation. What I'm supposed to do here? I've already read about UEFI and "dual boot - Installing Ubuntu on a pre-installed Windows 8 system", but neither of those help in this situation. [14:26] k1l: by that you mean.. I will need to reinstall my graphics drivers each time there's a kernel update..? === Isla_de_Muerte is now known as NwS [14:26] isarl: if you go for nvidia website solution yes [14:26] if I go for a 3rd-party PPA?

But actual option "install along windows" offers usb-stick as only option as destination. [14:37] daftykins: As I'm using usb-multiboot. Not first time I face similar situation. [14:37] F-3000: did you boot the install media in EFI mode? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [14:38] daftykins: Yes. I checked it from /sys/firmware/efi path in live system.

[14:40] 'for the multiboot' ? not really following you there [14:41] daftykins: I have multiple ISOs on a usb-stick, launched thru grub. [14:41] ok so YUMI or something [14:42] daftykins: I had to add uefi-boot to it to be able to boot from it. [14:43] F-3000: well it's a bit of a warning sign for an installer not to see 8, but you could try installing anyway and have GRUB go onto the disk /dev/sda as that shouldn't do any harm [14:43] daftykins: Actually, I've created it "manually", but I think that the result is quite same. [14:43] daftykins: Installer does see 8, I believe. [14:43] F-3000: did you resize the Windows volume from inside Windows prior to this attempt to install? [14:45] daftykins: I resized it with Gparted (from SystemRescueCD 4.5.2), yet Windows works fine, I tested it,. [14:45] F-3000 secure boot ? [14:45] that was an unnecessary approach 0o [14:45] ioria: Had to turn it off. [14:45] and did you shutdown 8 properly? [14:46] daftykins: Thru shutdown option. [14:47] F-3000: did yuo turn fastboot off? [14:47] *you [14:48] EriC^: Nope. [14:48] you either do that, or shutdown properly (not just selecting shutdown) in order to stop 8 doing its' funky hybrid hibernate thing [14:52] F-3000: yeah you have to turn fastboot off, or reboot windows instead of shutting down [14:52] malammmmmmmmmmmm [14:53] EriC^, daftykins: looks like there's no option in uefi to turn off fastboot. [14:54] you have to turn it off from settings > power advanced or something [14:54] anyone knows what could i verify to make ubuntu mate X64 because on shutdown currently it just sits there this machine its an Acer Aspire 5050 Amd turion 64 with 1 gig ddr2 memory [14:54] in windows control panel [14:54] apakah ada virus di linuxxx [14:55] EriC^: I'll try that.

[14:59] magita: are you asking how to check if it's a 64-bit installation?

I've got an old Voip phone that apparently is no longer supported. I was wondering if Linux offered a Voip service that would allow me to make and receive phone calls using a standard telephone number? [15:15] i don't things, because terminal not replay, and in that i see "remove "x" not upgrade"- "x" is a number! [15:15] hello [15:16] denos you have win 8 with ubuntu in virtualbox ? [15:16] marc_: do you mean a voip client or what? [15:16] gioans: if you have a terminal output error, the actuall error messsage would be more helpful [15:17] gioans: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in a terminal and put the output into the paste [15:17] gioans: also, what language do you speak? there might be a better place for you to ask [15:17] faust: Yea. Like Skype allows you to have a telephone number that people can call you on. However it is an expensive service and I know skype doesn't work very well with linux [15:17] !voip | faust [15:17] faust: VoIP is Voice over IP. The default VoIP client for Ubuntu is !Ekiga. There is also an xmpp voice component in !Empathy. Kubuntu Clients include Kphone and Twinkle. Proprietary Clients include !Skype and Gizmo5. VoIP server applications include Asterisk and Yate ( both in repositories ), FreePBX, and SipX.

Then I tried to install something via GUI. The software center suggested "to fix broken packages" (which implied the [15:18] apt-get install -f with all awful consequences!) . So the packages are fixed now... by *removal*. The laptop is still running. Please help me to get rid of i386 arch and to restore the packages [15:19] cảm ơn nhé [15:20] denos you got a dual boot win8/ubu and inside ubu , vbox with win8 ... and the pc does not boot . correct ? [15:20] marc_: as lotuspsychje there are many voip client on linux, but if you want to receive call on a real phone number you will need to subscribe to some voip service. Than you can use ekiga or anything else in ubuntu with your new account, but the account registration and the service itself has not anything to do with ubuntu or linux in general [15:20] thanks faust [15:21] EriC^: You were right, it required googling. [15:21] magita: looks like some process won't quit and it's waiting for it [15:21] F-3000: yup [15:21] Eric__, so its a fresh install what to do change distro ? ^^ [15:21] ioria: win8 will boot but ubuntu shows error and then perpetual blank screen [15:22] denos well, try at first nomodeset in grub [15:22] guys is it enough to create only 3 part for installing ubuntu? /, /home and swap or i need /boot aswell? [15:22] bodo_: that's fine [15:24] what is fine eric i need or not /boot? [15:25] no /boot [15:25] bodo_: if you dont use lvm or raid or encryption you dont need a seperate /boot [15:25] thx [15:25] bodo_: meaning: for mainstream users its ok without /boot. [15:25] server Vietnam-vn, people sleps, no one get up! [15:27] EriC^, daftykins: Still, "Install Ubumtu alongside Windows Boot Maganer" gives usb-stick (sdb) as only option for destination, ignoring HD (sda) completely. Have to choose "Something else". [15:28] gioans: we can only help you in english mate [15:28] F-3000: weird. "sudo parted -l | pastebinit2 might be useful [15:28] i understand EngLish not very well [15:32] anything like superputty for ubuntu? [15:32] chotaz`w: what is 'superputty'? [15:32] F-3000: is a msdos converted disk? [15:32] *is it [15:32] F-3000: oops that was meant to be "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [15:33] daftykins: MATE doesn't have pastebinit, but I can do manually. [15:33] F-3000: yes you install it. [15:34] EriC^: Nope. Although, it's nothing new to me that installer's automatic options ignore sda. [15:35] daftykins: Install in live? [15:36] daftykins, EriC^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10856663/ [15:38] ioria: thanks will reboot and try that now [15:38] somsip, it's putty with tabs. [15:38] F-3000: wow.. [15:38] F-3000: wow that is a lot of partitions [15:39] chotaz`w: use something like screen or tmux, and ssh [15:39] EriC^, daftykins: I added 5, obviously. [15:42] EriC^, daftykins: So, there's ~1MB space at the front of the disc, so installer puking MBR shouldn't break anything. But I doubt that's how I'm going to get this thing working right away. [15:42] test [15:43] Guest41598: received [15:43] EriC^, daftykins: Should I create one more partition, where I install Ubuntu's bootloader, which I point to from UEFI? [15:44] hello guys. how can i implement derivative of a given equation in scheme ? [15:44] SchrodingersScat: sweet! [15:45] hello all, I am sporadically getting shades like this: http://picpaste.com/92b3e6d229fd0efa0f217bf0d7624716.png I dont remember it having happened outside of the browser. the shade is often black or this color, and the size is different, yet always in quadratic shapes, sometimes 2-3 at a time, on different spots of the page. [15:45] also the text lines are sometimes gone: http://picpaste.com/cf67e1cc0d267c61570c64e3160f597a.png it comes back when refreshed [15:45] F-3000: no it should know to make use of the EFI boot partition. i think there's something up with the ISO image you're using, or your boot method [15:46] I’m trying to access another user’s environmental variable, set in their .bashrc. When evern I run `sudo su - user -c ‘. ~/.bashrc && echo $VAR’` It returns empty. But when I su in as the user and echo the $VAR it works. What am I doing wrong? [15:46] fungifungible: 404 on the first image [15:46] somsip, I'm looking for a GUI that lets me setup and use multiple tunnels at same time, I dont wanna bother writting the connection info each and everytime. [15:46] oh sorry daftykins, this is the correct link: http://picpaste.com/e79671e283d26a8fb16bcc2a0c47836e.png [15:47] F-3000 have you tried Legacy boot, Legacy first and activate BIOS flashback? [15:47] chotaz`w: use ~/.ssh/config and aliases. No gui there though, so maybe someone else can advise [15:47] daftykins: Want to see grub.cfg? [15:48] fungifungible: which ubuntu version and what graphics hardware + driver? [15:48] ioria: Nope, as I want to use uefi. [15:48] I'm trying to run Ubuntu on an older laptop that had Windows Vista and i'm getting a system is running in low-graphics mode. how can i get the graphics card to cooperate properly? [15:48] squarebit: wich grafix card is that [15:48] What graphics card is it squarebit ? [15:49] squarebit: and ubuntu version you trying to install? [15:49] squarebit: tell us which it is [15:49] Hi folks. Ubuntu 14.04, MySQL Workbench 6.0. How can I update to 6.2? [15:49] MarcGuay: find a PPA, but bear in mind they're not supported [15:50] I'm not sure which video card it has but it uses the Intel 940/943/945 Video Driver for Vista [15:50] It's a Compaq Presario C500 Notebook [15:50] squarebit: share its' entry from 'lspci' [15:50] or better yet the whole 'lspci' in a pastebin [15:51] squarebit: wich ubuntu version are you trying [15:51] daftykins: i'm not sure how to get into a command prompt [15:51] lspci | grep VGA , perhaps [15:52] squarebit: ctrl+alt+T [15:52] or ctrl+alt+F1 [15:52] 14.04 [15:52] daftykins, I have 14.04.2, and Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) -- the output for driver has a lot of names, shall I paste it? [15:53] fungifungible: nah that's ok, sounds like intel on-die graphics with a haswell chip [15:53] fungifungible, that's probly the i915 driver [15:53] i tried ctrl+alt+f1 and it showed a bunch of weird symbols [15:54] the system details GUI says 'Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset ' [15:54] F2? you might get a login prompt eventually [15:56] how can i check if aufs is installed and working..? [15:57] why would these errors be occuring? [15:59] fungifungible: no idea personally. try another browser and see if it persists [16:00] yes, maybe I can reinstall the browser, too [16:00] hi. is possible to use kde desktop interface on ubuntu unity? [16:02] bogdan: well not on unity, but you can install KDE or kubuntu-desktop sure [16:02] where can i find kde? [16:02] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [16:03] bogdan: you can install the kde desktop and change the desktop setting on the login screen then. [16:03] Then you will end up without the unity panel, if that is what you want [16:04] hi [16:05] sudo apt-get install kde does exist is the correct command? [16:05] bogdan: use the "kubuntu-desktop" package [16:05] I use kde mainly, but prefer gThumb as image viewer. now the latest version has a weird theme (dark while other gtk apps match my kde theme) and I have no idea where to conf that [16:06] plus: does it have to look like a mobile app? where do I find settings? [16:06] if i use kubuntu desktop this will be only for appearance right? it will still be ubuntu unity only design change? [16:07] bogdan: you cant use unity and kde at the same time. [16:07] bogdan yes, it wil be ubuntu with other desktop interface, kde instead of unity [16:08] MonkeyDust, thx [16:08] bogdan: you can either drive a BMW or a Mercedes. but not both at the same time. so choose one [16:08] bogdan unity is just the appearance, it's the smae ubuntu [16:08] k1l, you do not understand what i want. i will use ubuntu unity. i just asked if is possible to change de design to look like kde...like a theme [16:09] um, why don't you install kde? [16:09] bogdan install kde, if you want the kde look [16:09] Could low-memory warnings be caused by Ubuntu's use of hard disk for cacheing? [16:09] where i can find kde? [16:09] bogdan: well. than you need to rephrase that better. of couse you can change the theme to another one that you like. but the app launcher will stay on the left side only.

[16:45] it worked and it seem responsed! what's caused that? [16:45] EriC^, daftykins: Ubuntu MATE installed as supposed to, no idea why installer asked for boot loader destination, as it made no difference. Now the laptop boots straight to grup (I made it so, thru uefi), with secure booting on, and boots Ubuntu without problems. [16:45] ioria: not sure what you're asking.. [16:45] do i have to reboot?

I've tried running nvidia-settings as root and it doesn't change anything and the modeline in my xorg.conf does have the monitor set to 144hz. Anyone know what might be up with this? [17:34] 144hz is kinda crazy [17:35] how so? [17:35] back when monitors were tubes, 75Hz was about the highest rate you needed. Anything higher over-heats the monitor electronics [17:36] now that everything is LCD, 60Hz is more common [17:37] I mean I don't see any reason not to use 144 since my monitor supports it. [17:37] ) [17:43] if ubuntu goes into read only filesystem, where I can find the log with the reason for this?

[17:54] Any ideas about ntp configuration failing during install? [17:56] Ziber, maybe your BIOS clock and the local time/time zone you chose are in conflict, but you can probly fix it once the install is finished [17:56] genkgo: can you install pastebinit and smartmontools on that system - then run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" and share the link to me? [17:57] BluesKaj: Won't let me skip it, but it might be a network connectivity issue. [17:57] Alas, it's not. [17:58] Yeah, not letting me skip it and it's not a network issue. :( [17:58] Ziber have you checked the installation disk integrity ? [17:58] It's netboot kernel/ramdisk. How do I do that? [17:58] Ziber is your bios clock way off ? [17:59] I dunno. The host's clock is correct. [18:00] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/w6bm9YML [18:00] genkgo: oh, this is a Hyper-V VM?

[18:05] well APT's history is only of packages installed really [18:05] hi guys! I have u user www-data [18:05] NoOova: right...? [18:05] but when i logit with "sudo -u www-data bash" i got whong environment [18:05] why? [18:06] Is ntp tools what's installed during the OS install? [18:06] $HOME is like in previous user, for example [18:06] OerHeks: I can't just skip this? [18:07] daftykins: I read some threads on the subject, the problem is I cannot really get the cause of the issue [18:07] Ziber, no in xen itself i think ? https://wiki.umiacs.umd.edu/VirtualMeshTest/index.php/Xen_clock_sync_issues [18:07] daftykins: there simple is no log that is telling what caused the issue [18:08] genkgo: what first alerts you to the disk having been mounted read only? [18:09] daftykins: cannot remember anymore, maybe unpacking some log *.gz [18:09] well, are you connecting in and trying to install something and suddenly realising oh - read only? [18:10] daftykins: no, it was weekend, got phone call, server is down, what is going on, i login, and see read-only mode [18:11] daftykins: can this cause a read-only filesystem: "storvsc: Add. Sense: Invalid command operation code" [18:11] Upped the memory of the VM, fixed it. [18:14] Well, I made two changes at once. One was a memory change, the other was a network setting change. Not 100% sure which fixed it. [18:15] genkgo: hrmm storsvc appears to be a Windows host-side kernel driver [18:15] any help on a crontab that only runs the first line in crontab -e ? [18:15] anew: are the other lines starting with a space? [18:16] genkgo, you mean a line space ? [18:18] daftykins: yeah, all to weird. i see quite some threads on the subject, e.g. http://serverfault.com/questions/661299/ubuntu-14-04-cloud-server-disks-gone-read-only [18:18] but there is no answer to the thread [18:19] genkgo: can you confirm the Linux guests' kernel? [18:19] Im having some trouble getting phpmyadmin to work. When I navigate to /phpmyadmin I see an error stating that the json extension is not installed. On running php -m on the command line json doesnt appear. When I run sudo apt-get install php5-json apt-get reports that its already [18:19] (version) [18:19] daftykins: 3.16 [18:19] 3.16.0-031600-generic #201408031935 [18:20] genkgo: that doesn't look like an official kernel... [18:20] normally it would be 3.16.0-##-generic [18:20] !info linux-generic trusty [18:20] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 3.13.0.49.56 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB [18:21] eh non-HWE === thomas_ is now known as Guest11761 [18:22] daftykins: that one is also installed on the machine [18:22] genkgo: which specifically? [18:22] the one ubottu is saying [18:23] 3.13.0-49-generic [18:23] oh a 3.13, yeah i'd try using that [18:23] genkgo where should the spaces be [18:23] that's the true LTS kernel for 14.04 - 3.16 is utopic's (v14.10) hardware enablement stack kernel [18:24] anew: there should not be one, I believe lines atrting with a space are ignored [18:24] atrting? [18:25] anew: starting [18:25] daftykins: ok, so, your advice will be to switch to the 3.13 kernel? [18:25] yep [18:25] 100% [18:25] Hey. I've got a SSD that is dead/dying. It's one of the OCZs that only boots once every 1000 boots. Anyway, I've managed to get it to boot, and I want to copy everything to another hard drive. I cannot boot to a live CD, since it's taken me several hours of restarting every 20 seconds to get the drive detected. [18:25] Can I just dd everything? [18:26] If it doesn't work, I don't care.. anything is better than nothing.. [18:26] daftykins: 100%, that is really a lot [18:26] layke: you'd be better off minimising writes by copying manually [18:26] genkgo: hehe, well the other 3.16 kernel having a date in it instead of being a proper one is really suspicious to me [18:27] daftykins: as if there was a reason for it ;) [18:27] daftykins, The actual size of the transfer shouldn't be that much of a problem, and I don't think that the SSD will fail while transfering. This bug is well documented as just being a boot issue [18:27] Ideally, I'd just like to clone the partition to a new SSD [18:27] (Which I currently also have mounted) [18:27] daftykins: we also have another vps in the hyper v platform: same 3.16 kernel, no problems [18:28] layke: ah i see. which model? [18:28] ocz vertex 2e [18:28] hrmm [18:28] It's quite old now. I think the bug is called sandforce or something [18:28] layke: well i'm not sure if clonezilla would enjoy running on a running install, worth a go though [18:28] yeah i avoid all sandforce based SSDs :) [18:29] I thought clonezilla was essentially a "livecd"? [18:29] Can you run it on a running OS? [18:29] it's also installable [18:29] give it a go [18:29] Okay thanks [18:29] hello [18:30] Will clonezilla handle the partitioning of the target SSD? I've got an OS on it that I want to nuke [18:30] I foolishly thought I'd use a different version of Ubuntu than my production [18:30] daftykins: thanks, I have enough information now [18:30] And quickly ran into issues :) [18:30] personally i would 'dd' 100MB of zeroes to the start of the other disk then run it [18:30] the other disk will also ideally be larger than the SSD [18:30] anew: also check dmesg for your cron logs [18:31] The source disk is 120GB. The target disk is 250GB [18:31] magic. that'll be easy then [18:31] daftykins: we will start using 3.13, thanks for your help [18:31] genkgo: no problem! [18:31] i'm checking syslog, what's dmesg ? [18:32] type it and you shall see [18:32] daftykins, You were correct. You can't run clonezilla on a running OS [18:33] The disk has to be unmounted [18:33] Before it will use it :) [18:33] damn. [18:33] dd should be alright then, yeah [18:34] layke: you ok with the syntax for the clone? [18:34] What steps would I need to do? [18:34] I really don't know what I should be doing in terms of parititoning [18:34] Then creating a filesystem???? [18:34] Or does dd handle that? [18:34] nah not for straight drive cloning [18:34] dd will do it all yep [18:34] i think i would ideally switch to TTY1, 'sudo service lightdm stop' [18:35] Okay. Maybe I should boot up xchat on another system [18:35] then "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=2M" (where X is source SSD, Y is destination disk) [18:35] How can I know which is whihc? lsblk? [18:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10857522/ [18:36] So it looks like /sda1 is the TARGET [18:36] I can't tell what the source is though [18:37] Maybe it's the LVM? sdb5 [18:37] no don't use partitions [18:38] i have cron sending messages to my mail, the first line runs and sends a message, but th eother lines dont i have no idea [18:38] layke: can you do a "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ? [18:38] O okay. So TARGET "sda", and SOURCE is "sdb" I guess, if I'm looking at type=disk [18:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10857543/ [18:38] SAMSUNG = target [18:39] Hi, xrandr --output HDMI2 --rotate left works, but Option "Rotate" "Left" in Xorg.conf's monitor section doesn't. Any ideas? [18:39] OCZ = piece of crap that dies on me every morning [18:39] layke: you'll need to unmount the samsung first too, run "sudo umount /dev/sda1" [18:39] So you are unmounting the partition [18:40] layke: but yes, "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda bs=2M" [18:40] layke: yep [18:40] i want to install android stuidio i get that issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-developer-tools-center/+bug/1400536 [18:40] Launchpad bug 1400536 in ubuntu-developer-tools-center (Ubuntu) "utdc cannot download android tools" [Undecided,Confirmed] [18:40] hi. I installed xampp on ubuntu14.04 but when i run phpmyadmin, I have error 2002. Anybody has an ideas ? [18:41] daftykins, Okay thanks. I'm going to attempt it now. [18:41] I search on google but i don't find anything [18:42] alexandre, that question is better for another channel like #php [18:43] Thanks daftykins. it is running. [18:43] I'm going to head off for a bit while it runs. I guess it will take a couple of minutes :) [18:43] layke: cool, shouldn't take too long yeah - maybe 10 mins [18:43] daftykins, Once it has completed.. I guess I can just pull out the old drive [18:43] And push in the new one? [18:44] And then maybe update grub [18:44] to get rid of the old boots [18:44] layke: yep hopefully [18:47] Anyone know where I could get pvgrub downloaded from? [18:48] hey so i'm running the installer to reinstall 14.10 on a dual boot win8 system and it says i need to create a separate EFI partition for boot loader code [18:49] why do i need to do that? i already installed win8/ubuntu dual boot and i just want to reinstall ubuntu [18:49] Ziber, join #xen for those issues > http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/PvGrub [18:49] hi, how can I find out what package creates /var/lock sym link? its missing for my 12.04 install [18:52] changu: can you show a "sudo parted -l" via http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [18:54] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10857627/ [18:55] changu: hrmm definitely looks ok, and since the EFI question arose surely it booted in EFI mode with the white text on black background? [18:56] changu: i think i would back out then choose 'something else' for partitioning, then pick your swap and root manually, followed by the EFI partition manually as per the EFI guide page [18:56] daftykins, All worked. I'm on the new drive now. Thanks === trung is now known as DERP [18:57] morning === DERP is now known as DQW2d98 [18:57] daftykins: okay thanks, fingers crossed. [18:57] hi [18:58] layke: \o/ np :) enjoy [18:58] daftykins: will doing it this way still handle replacing grub entries etc? [18:59] changu: yeah - are you formatting the ubuntu volumes? [19:02] daftykins: yeah since 14.10 won't boot i thought i'd try reinstalling in place, if that doesn't work i'll erase and reinstall, or else run os-installer and repartition back to virgin ntfs/win8 and start over [19:03] can anyone help me about dictionary in linux mint i got it work when am online if am not does not help me at all [19:03] !mint | bulemo [19:03] bulemo: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[19:06] danbower: do queries resolve if you manually run say "dig" telling it to use that IP? [19:07] danbower: I ran into that exact same issue and our network administrator provided me with this URL: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN#DNS [19:07] Yes, I understand it's for Arch Linux but the resolution worked [19:10] Hey. Which remote desktop software forwards the current x session? [19:10] nashant: x2go, vnc [19:10] depending on how they are configured [19:10] out of the two, x2go is the better option [19:11] vnc over ssh is not bad [19:11] !vnc [19:11] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [19:13] mmercer: I tried x2go but it doesn't forward the current session, it creates a new one [19:14] nashant: you have to tell the client to use the current session [19:14] if you tell the client to use the current session, it will snag the current session, thats the client side option === thomas_ is now known as Guest7401 [19:18] mmercer: ok, just told it that and it crashed straight away [19:18] nashant: so restart the client [19:20] ok, x2go sucks. Poor image and slow [19:24] Right, another question. Do no desktops support scaling? [19:25] I want to shrink everything so I can fit more on more on the screen === tomas_ is now known as Guest88905 [19:29] has anyone run into issues with tagged vlan's on 14.04? === cryptodan is now known as cryptodan_portab === cryptodan_portab is now known as cryptodan === Guest88905 is now known as WoodenDog [19:30] I've got an issue where untagged vlan's work as expected, and tagged vlan's work for other machines but not for ubuntu machines [19:32] Hello, I'm having issues trying to mount a nfs directory (I'm using the configuration provided by vagrant). It supposed to be mounted, but when I run 'cd /vagrant' it hangs and never finishes to run. Any ideas about how to debug this issue? [19:33] /quit You people rock! [19:33] Nope... [19:33] hello everyone [19:34] nashant: rather than insulting an app you have little familiarity with, you might do better actually reading, and learning what it supports; x2go is a refork of the old NX project before freenx went private, it is *known* for its speed and efficiency, so, if its slow, thats a setting you have somewhere [19:34] anywho, back to my normal room [19:37] wolverinee: looks like it cannot connect to the NFS server. Pastebin ip address configuration, /etc/exports and /etc/fstab for both hosts. === Alann is now known as alann [19:41] mmercer: Just trying nomachine and it works a treat. Exactly what I was after.

That's all I want it for, so still free I think, no? [19:46] nashant: some features and access, yes [19:46] Vladimir1ki: how do you want to use inotify? From the command line or from a C program? [19:46] nashant: not all of it though [19:47] mmercer: It seems like it's gonna be ok for what I need. Just accessing my dev VM from an RPi thin client. [19:50] when is the new ubuntu coming out?

[20:18] Hi all.. something wierd.. on ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Unity.. enable fullscreen redraws (tickbox) on compiz.. seems to 'reset' itself to default (off) on reboot.. I need this on .. to stop intel HD 3000 graphics tearing when watching videos etc. [20:18] well crap now it just took me to a tty1 screen. [20:19] alex.. perhaps you pressed ctrl alt f1? [20:19] when i go to ctrl alt f7 the screen is black. [20:20] i guess there is a bug upgrading from 14.04 to 14.10 ... [20:20] to all.. how to stop the reset of settings in compiz? [20:20] Alex.. possibly graphics error [20:20] alex, many cards/ combinations of hardware / ubuntu could have issues.. if in doubt.. check ubuntu certified list. [20:20] anyone know if mate-panel can be always on top of other windows, and not reserve space. xfce4-panel can do this but i don't see the option in mate [20:21] acz32 I dont think I can help you with that mate ;-) === Atomix26 is now known as L33thaxorz [20:22] I tried upgrading to 14.10. Upon reboot, I got a black screen with a white console cursor [20:22] from 14.04 [20:23] similar strange compiz reboot.. issue.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2137961 [20:23] Compiz seems to do whatever it wants. :-) [20:23] this is a very short time after I installed 14.04 yesterday. [20:23] (well. on a new computer) [20:24] Leethaxorz:. Sometimes its better to just do a fresh install (thats debatable though) for desktop pcs etc.. (phones, tabs) because.. like in mint.. their upgrade path is fresh install.. servers are different in environs where they have to have low downtime and graphics etc are perhaps not as important. Hence the strange anomaly with various hardware. Depends. Hardware / environs. [20:24] Leethaxors: I am staying with 14.04 till next LTS. [20:25] I want to update intel drivers though. :S [20:26] Leethaxors.. I looked at the same thing.. yes the intel drivers thing is a B*** but.. I just left it with the idea that 'if it aint broke dont fix it' as compiz setting fixes my tearing issue. Tried upgrading on AMD64 but.. yeah theres an issue with that.. but there is apparently a PPA to get the latest and "greatest" (supposedly) intel drivers. [20:26] mmmhkay. [20:26] (however.. if your intel drivers are 'WORKING' (ie, you can browse and most tasks) dont bother upgrading perhaps? [20:27] But... EU4 was looking bad. .-. [20:27] EU4?

[20:27] Ok [20:28] Well.. sad to say this.. but.. Graphics for games is still lagging (mainly due to numbers) that should all change in a few years with steam machines becoming mainstream.. however.. for now.. NVIDIA or ATI would be better for games.. unfortunately intel onboard chips will generally never be better for games.. in terms of 3D === guesswho is now known as guesswho--- [20:29] Also.. it is just my opinion.. but I feel a more long term and different release structure for average users (gamers, office workers etc) from that of the 'dev' community could be good. And an environment which makes it more difficult for users to 'bork' their machines. But thats just me. [20:30] neopsyche: that exists already, in case the "average users" stick with LTS releases and developers follow the latest releases [20:31] yes I agree t1mp, not intending to start debate.. I love ubuntu.. but .. average user = very unsophisticated.. so. unfortunately .. [20:31] They try things and break things. [20:31] I would consider myself lower intermediate linux desktop user. [20:31] (hence I am using LTS_ [20:31] neopsyche: this isn't the place for such general chat i'm afraid. support queries only [20:32] No prob. [20:32] you're welcome to rant in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:32] No disruption intended Dafty. [20:32] :) [20:32] anyone knows an application to reduce the size of mp3's?

[20:33] FFMPEG kokut [20:33] i can't figure out how to stop mate-panel. when i kill it, it just respawns [20:33] FFMPEG is a commandline tool (inherently) however there are frontends (not sure what latest realease) for ubuntu such as WinFF [20:33] (i think thats the right name) [20:34] kokut .. Softwarecenter -> WinFF [20:34] neopsyche: k gotta try it out [20:34] when can we upgrade to 15.04 [20:34] ok kokut .. if you get errors.. you may need to install 'restricted-extras' === xubuntu is now known as Guest95563 [20:35] kokut: be patient [20:35] kokut.. my opinion (but perhaps thats a question for offtopic dafty?) is to wait till a version or two after initial LTS [20:35] 15.04 is not LTS [20:35] kokut.. ie: DELL still released 12.04 a while after 14.04 was out on their 'developer XPS notebooks' because.. STABLE. [20:35] yea lol its just that FFMPG comes bundled with 15.04 [20:36] Ok.. but kokut.. sudo apt-get install ffmpeg ;-) [20:36] k gonna try it out :) [20:36] Then you can perhaps soda apt-get coca cola while you convert your files ;-) [20:36] #debian [20:37] hi. I have a package that gives me the error "package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal" [20:37] ok.. kokut ffmpeg is depreciated on 14.04 [20:37] but when I try to reinstall it, it causes a kernel panic [20:37] so how do I bypass this and just remove it? [20:37] kokut.. try ffmpeg in softwarecenter search [20:37] crikey it's lizzie [20:37] check 'gstreamer plugins' [20:37] hi lizzie [20:38] oh hi all .. haha by the way [20:38] hi! [20:38] lizzie: are you dpkg -r 'ing? [20:38] neopsyche: i already have GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin installed [20:38] lizzie.. Jesus saves. So should we? [20:38] looks like its more oriented towards video [20:38] ok kokut.. install winFF [20:38] daftykins: does the same as apt-get [20:38] neopsyche: what? [20:39] sure but it's closer :P unless you mean you have and it does kernel panic too [20:39] lizzie try make an image of your system in case of that issue.. then revert to image in worst case [20:39] but a kernel panic is a pretty bad sign in general.. [20:39] lizzie.. sorry not better advice.. intermediate user or so. [20:39] daftykins: the kernel panic is if I try to reinstall it [20:40] force remove with dpkg then :) [20:40] kokut.. try install WinFF then it may install needed dependencies perhaps [20:41] oh yeah let's see if I can. I got distracted when apt-get didn't have a force flag. [20:41] there are other video/audio codecs for conversion besides ffmpeg [20:41] neopsyche: yea i might try it out but i would be converting from mp3 to mp3 right? [20:41] avconv, or smplayer with mpv kokut [20:41] i just need to reduce the size of the files [20:42] bazhang.. kokut wants to convert.. not just play [20:42] kokut, libav-tools [20:42] right libav thats other one [20:42] neopsyche, thus my suggestion [20:42] neopsyche, smplayer with mpv will do exactly that [20:42] however.. libav is terminal right.. kokut not sure if you were looking for GUI? [20:43] bazhang: i need to bulk convert a bunch of files, over a hundred [20:43] neopsyche, has the cli and the gui options now [20:43] its not convert tho its more like a reduction of size/quality [20:43] kokut, you wish to have a gui or use cli [20:44] hmm.. kokut i installed winff dumped mp4 video into and told it to convert to mp3 32khz it seems to be working [20:44] kokut, so put them in the queue and start the conversion [20:44] bazhang: whatever works faster and lets me add a bunch of files at once [20:44] neopsyche: but i dont need to convert from mp4 video to mp3 [20:44] i need to convert from mp3 to mp3 lower quality/size [20:45] kokut, they are all pretty much the same speed at adding, the encoding time wont be shorter or longer [20:45] bazhang: i need to add a bunch of files at once i don't want to be adding a line for every file bc it would take forever [20:46] kokut.. WinFF -> set lower bitrate -> convert [20:46] daftykins: intel [20:46] kokut.. I just used the mp4 because I had not mp3 ;-) [20:46] kokut, sounds like you want to rip the mp3 from video mp4, is that correct [20:46] alex89: so likely you had a PPA you had packages from that you didn't remove prior to upgrade [20:46] kokut.. sounds like you are on a long journey to commandline use [20:47] command line is not a long journey [20:47] its the quickest journey [20:48] adjudikator: for someone who is used to GUi it can be [20:48] learn your terminals! [20:48] daftykins: im just doing a clean install now [20:48] bazhang: no, i need to reduce the quality of mp3 files [20:48] so they take up less space [20:48] neopsyche I know. Still, CLI is faster after you learn [20:48] i don't have anything to do with mp4 video [20:49] kokut: i think soundconverter does that [20:49] kokut: if you want to do it in batch i think lame can do that, not sure [20:49] kokut here.. something similar to this is what commandline can do http://askubuntu.com/questions/147944/bulk-batch-convert-mp3-files-to-ogg-via-command-line [20:50] except in your case you will mp3 bitrate to new bitrate mp3 instead of ogg [20:50] hey fellas, anybody have any luck setting up gtkpod? it will see my ipod but will give me a read only error when I try to add songs [20:50] EriC^, +1 lame codecs [20:50] neopsyche: thats for ogg dude [20:50] sorry no hellrazor. but hope it comes right [20:50] kokut.. I just mentioned. .you will have to use mp3 instead of ogg [20:50] neopsyche: but that is for ogg [20:51] its called dir2ogg ... [20:51] kokut get lame. [20:51] lame --mp3input -b 128 input.mp3 output.mp3 [20:51] but that is for one file man [20:52] i need to convert hundreds of files [20:52] for i in *; do lame ....; done [20:52] or find if you need something recursive [20:52] kokut https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/lame [20:53] Lame [20:54] Hey guys is there an Ubuntu chat channel?

[20:57] kokut: lame -b 128 "$i" ./convertedmp3/"$i" [20:57] (i know the feeling) [20:57] kokut: that will save them in a convertedmp3 dir with the same name, you have to create the dir first though [20:57] kokut: I think google and me are your friend right now ;-) [20:58] EriC^: k gonna try it out [20:58] neopsyche I don't know if the cmd is correct, but trusting that it is, it+s indeed quite easy [20:58] thats what I love about cli [20:58] kokut: be sure to thank me.... http://soundconverter.org/ [20:59] adjudikator: you are just leet.

The machine I'm on can't even get a response ping from us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com [21:25] paperhawks: letters? [21:26] hello backbox [21:26] testerbit: try other server/ [21:26] ?

[21:27] neopsyche: won't work if he's on EC2 [21:27] Ok [21:28] testerbit: are you running into this on an EC2 system? [21:28] teward: yes [21:28] ok [21:28] testerbit: so I assume command line only? [21:28] yes [21:28] teward: please take over. [21:29] testerbit: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors <- list of the mirrors . [21:29] That server is the in same region as the ec2 instance and it pings back from my local machine [21:29] testerbit: you will have to modify /etc/apt/sources.list manually then. try replacing us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com with us.archive.ubuntu.com. note you may get higher data in out charges [21:31] can anyone point me in a direction on how to connect to a l2tp vpn on 14.10? i have strongswan installed, but it doesn't seem to support l2tp [21:31] toward, does it sound like an issue with the mirror or my local confguration that is not letting me connect?

And it's unbelievably easy. xrandr --fb WIDTHxHEIGHT. Wish I'd found that yesterday === psycrosoft is now known as psyrus [22:19] nashant: some of us were saying for you to look at xrandr ;) [22:19] days ago [22:19] I did! [22:19] And I tried many things [22:19] but I had no idea about this --fb thing [22:20] i'm slightly confused about the set resolution and scale down thing [22:20] also i've got a stupid question about frames [22:22] the stupid question is, if the screen's refresh rate is 60hz that means it changes 60 times per second right? so how can i view videos that have 400frames per second or so on youtube [22:24] i guess refresh rate doesn't mean what i thought it meant? [22:30] Something like that eric [22:30] google defines it as The refresh rate on your HDTV indicates how often the television changes the display of pixels per second. [22:30] yes [22:31] so i still dont get it.. [22:31] i = interlaced [22:31] p = progressive [22:31] progressive draws the whole picture if 60 @60x per second.. etc. [22:31] if interlaced.. redraws lines at 60fps (interlaced is more complicated.) [22:31] (but interlaced essentially the same thing) [22:32] basically not sure what you are needing.. but.. higher rate = faster looking video.. (ie: sports look great at higher refresh for example F1 racing) [22:32] interlaced mode is to use less processing power to draw the screen, and some 3-d headsets also use two interlaced streams to save on hardware cost [22:32] so the tv is in fact not changing the whole frame at 400fps when i watch the videos? it's changing parts of it? [22:33] But for movies etc.. many people still prefer 24fps (approx) because we have become accustomed to that speed.. otherwise some have said at 60fps movies and tv look 'unnatural' [22:33] i have a very strange problem... i have 3 lines in my crontab file - but only the first line runs. if i comment out the first line... then only the second line runs [22:33] why is my crontab only reading the first line every time? [22:33] Eric.. higher Hz /Fps = smoother (but not necessarily more "natural") [22:34] Eric.. if interlaced = parts (but redrawing lines at that speed) if P for 'progressive' meaning .. yes redraws entire frame [22:34] (this is my basic understanding of it) [22:34] eric.. google it. [22:35] ok thanks [22:35] anew: can you type crontab -l and paste in paste.ubuntu.com? [22:35] EriC^: I've got a 1080p 23 inch screen, and I wanted to fit more on it (better for coding, I find), so I set it to 2560x1440 and it scales so that it fits on the screen [22:36] Now I've got to try and battle with changing the keyboard layout from en_us to en_uk in an nx session [22:36] nashant: oh ok [22:36] eric.. what do you actually need rate for ? higher or lower? [22:37] EriC^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10858669/ [22:43] you ther e [22:43] neopsyche: nothing, i was curious, i thought the refresh rate meant how many times it changed per second [22:44] and i watched some slow motion videos at really high fps and thought how's that possible [22:45] anew: it looks ok, check /var/log/syslog to see if the cron job is running [22:47] EriC^, it's running, the uncommented out line runs, but as soon as i uncomment another line that second line wont run - only the first line always rusn [22:49] eric.. refresh rate is how many times it draws per second yes. [22:50] i think i get what i was confused about [22:51] in the lower hz.. frames.. it creates in our perception either smoother (more fluid) or more jittery image.. so to the person who is into this sort of stuff.. it makes a difference. [22:51] checkout 60fps on youtube vs standard framerate to get an idea [22:51] the camera that took the video was 1000fps but i'm actually watching it at a normal rate, it's just that the video is in slow motion [22:51] right. [22:51] exactly [22:51] its all maths ;-) [22:52] and all those mathematics have an effect on our perception / brain ;-) [22:52] but higher frames per 'second' gives a smooth playback. [22:52] youve got it ;-) [22:52] i see [22:53] Notice in example.. 60 fps video vs normal video (play in chrome.. not available in firefox and some other browser) [22:53] yeah, the mystery is solved :P [22:54] for a comical example.. see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWlevAblzBg [22:54] Open in Chrome.. and use the HD 60 version ;-) [22:54] It looks so smooth.. too bad there are hardly any 60fps nature videos etc on YT. (true 60 fps) [22:55] lol [22:58] neopsyche: yeah it's a lot smoother, interesting video [22:59] should I install a tarball into /usr [22:59] hm guess not [23:00] no worries eric. its actually pretty interesting when considering creative concepts in film making. But otherwise.. just down to personal perference. :-) [23:02] hello [23:02] i have a problem downloading zorin-32 bit [23:03] oneguy: contact the zorin support. [23:03] i tried [23:03] thier irc is dead [23:03] we cant help you with zorin [23:03] well, if you want ubuntu support, use ubuntu :) [23:04] dang it, i thought since zorin wa a distro of ubuntu, you had an idea [23:04] neopsyche: yeah, i meant it's way smoother than the old tv footage and stuff, but it still slightly stalled sometimes, i guess 120hz would be crystal clear, but yeah i think it depends on what you're filming to get a desired effect [23:05] and feel for the movie [23:05] yes. also.. some people feel that it 'takes away' from traditional look of movies.. so.. your movies etc.. end up looking like a soap opera standard tv show. (because the frame rate is higher) [23:05] exactly. [23:05] Congratualtions Eric. you are now officially a framerate nerd ;-) [23:05] :-D [23:05] lol :D [23:10] thanks neopsyche you've been very helpful, i'm off to bed, good night [23:11] No prob.
