[00:00] 1 hdd [00:00] im on a laptop :\ [00:00] could be ext hdd [00:00] i dont have any ext hdd [00:00] i ran through the installer, rebooted, and its gives me a screen with nothing on it [00:01] its been like that for about 30 min now [00:01] Yay my bug report is going through. Just took some thinking to find the correct package. [00:01] is it the only os? [00:01] yes [00:01] grub wont show thrn [00:01] *then [00:01] i mean [00:01] !nomodeset | Cap [00:01] Cap: 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:02] its not giving me anything [00:02] ^ [00:02] it just has the little bar like its terminal [00:02] thats it [00:02] 'cant typoe [00:02] Captonjamason, yeah when booting hold down shift to get grub to show up then hit e to edit your boot config [00:03] ill try [00:03] Captonjamason, in the boot params that show up add nomodeset where you see quiet and/or nosplash [00:03] that doesnt work wafflejock [00:03] Captonjamason, it'll load up with the vesa video drivers that are generic so the graphics performance/resolution may not be great but should allow you to get into the graphical interface to possibly update the drivers [00:03] Captonjamason, which part exactly? [00:04] nothing [00:04] I created a file in /tmp and set it world-readable, but the guest account gets a permission-denied error trying to `cat` it. What gives? [00:04] its just a black screen with the little white line like terminal === gh0strider is now known as Guest25709 [00:04] Captonjamason, you need to be specific to get help, couldn't get into grub? [00:04] cant type anything [00:04] Captonjamason, you need to be holding shift as it's booting just after the BIOS/POST is done to get into grub [00:05] that doesnt help === Faylite_ is now known as Faylite [00:05] ive tried it 5 times now [00:05] Moonlightning: guest can't read anything in /tmp maybe [00:05] Hi Guys I am getting this: TLS Error: TLS handshake failed [00:05] and this: read UDPv4 [ECONNREFUSED]: Connection refused (code=111) [00:05] i dont even think it has grub installed wafflejock [00:05] but only when I set UDP as port, if I set TCP it works... what's wrong? [00:05] Captonjamason: spam the shift button [00:06] .. [00:06] ive been doing that [00:06] In my firewall I have enabled UDP in both directions [00:06] Captonjamason: if grub wasn't installed then your bios would say no operating system detected or something [00:06] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1448351 [00:06] Launchpad bug 1448351 in system-config-printer (Ubuntu) "Preserve job files (allow reprinting) causes UI freeze" [Undecided,New] [00:06] Report should be good now. [00:06] I miss anything? [00:06] Captonjamason: you're probably booting grub then booting ubuntu but have a graphics driver issue [00:06] no [00:06] yes [00:06] i have no issues with graphics [00:06] yes^infinity [00:07] Captonjamason: That condition indicates that bios can not hand off to the boot code . IF you can not boot to the grub boot menu, perhaps consider (RE-)installing grub ? [00:07] except for the part where you don't have any graphics? [00:07] Captonjamason, here are instructions on reinstalling grub from a live cd http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [00:07] Try boot-repair. [00:08] From an Ubuntu Live CD. That works around GRUB issues for me. [00:08] EriC^^: /tmp is a+rxt though [00:08] grub is likely already installed, if it wasn't there would be an error message like "No boot disk found" [00:08] Ben64: all i have graphics wise is a white line like terminal [00:08] Moonlightning: guest is different, it can't even read home dirs even if they are set to read for everyone [00:08] i am trying to get a video to show you [00:09] EriC^^: got a resource on this phenomenon for me? [00:09] Moonlightning: what are you trying to do? [00:09] Captonjamason: we know what a black screen looks like. try harder to get grub to come up, spam the shift key during boot [00:09] Captonjamason, yeah just get into the live CD you can check out if you have your grub configuration in place, if there is a problem with grub there you can get it installed if not you can change the config to have a timeout to show the menu [00:10] EriC^^: Nothing; just curious as to why this is happening. [00:10] Captonjamason, after getting in there you can get rid of the quiet flag so you see all the parts of the system coming up and can see if it fails at some point there, if it fails when it tries to start up and switch over the the X display then it's probably graphics driver issues in which case you want to use the nomodeset flag [00:13] Moonlightning: oh ok [00:13] I'm not asking to expedite the bug, if anyone is wondering, but when yuu guys are done helping who your are currently, look at the URL I gave out and see if the report looks complete.

(For example: I'd like to turn up/down brightness, doing FN > F5 / F6 [00:53] Fleet, i have downloaded the game from net, unpacked, tryed to run.. there was no *.exe :-) ok.. so i push file assaultcube.sh in terminal and the game started.. but when trying to play mutlyple did not find any servers :-S [00:53] tim_: the game is in the ubuntu repositories [00:54] !find assaultcube [00:54] Found: assaultcube, assaultcube-data [00:54] tim_: did you try the bottom option "Force master server update" ? [00:54] yes [00:54] also, make sure whatever you downloaded is the current/correct version [00:55] both versions, one from ubuntu server.. and online -- no go [00:55] as well forcing [00:55] do you use any sort of firewall application? or iptables? [00:56] tim_: maybe there just aren't any servers up [00:56] my server is running ubuntu. i'm building a website for a person on a subdomain, i want them to have an ftp account with read permissions for *only* that subdomain's directory. currently the user can edit everything although they have their own home directory.

[01:23] hi, upgraded to 15.04 and can't seem to reach a lightdm login, seems like an nvidia stumbling block, "system is operating in low graphic mode" [01:23] https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=27440 [01:23] the error log review seems pretty inconclusive, any thoughts?

[01:24] in pidgin messenger [01:24] I've tried switching between nouveau and proprietary, but no dice... [01:24] drivers that is... [01:24] promet: A proprietary graphics driver in use prior to the upgrade, and now that driver is broke ?

[01:25] i don't know how pidgin does it, but in hexchat i can delete my CTCP replies [01:25] oh cant i see :/ [01:25] i still see CTCP requests, but they don't get responded to automatically [01:26] Bashing-om, I've uninstalled and reinstalled two separate prop. versions, and their uninstalls and reinstalls seemed to go cleanly [01:26] So, maybe not [01:26] Thanks very much for the reply though [01:26] ubotter: a cursory search shows me that pidgin doesn't let you disable CTCP replies. maybe try another client? [01:27] I few releases ago I had similar troubles and the culprit turned out to be Plymouth [01:27] No one would know how to "safely" disable Plymouth in 15.04 by any chance? [01:28] I searched for it's files and it seems like it's grown into a bit of a rat's nest... [01:28] daftzkins> did someone have tested ableton in linux _ i see youtube video about it [01:28] promet: I am not nuch help in that case, all I can suggest is to read the log files and see what you see for system reported errors . [01:28] sorry mz keyboard is in us but i have german [01:29] Bashing-om, no worries, thanks for your suggestions [01:29] I use version LTS 15:04 or 14:04? [01:30] I should be used 14.04 LTS or 15.04 ? [01:30] please give me some advice! thanks! [01:31] promet: "low graphics mode" I generally think of as a graphics issue, Is the releated module loaded ( sudo lshw -C display) . and look at the log file " /vat/log/Xorg.0.log " see where these lead. [01:31] Hello Everyone! [01:32] what about bitwig studio. ? windows has more vst plugins then linux [01:33] where i get all the vsts in linux [01:33] should do-release-upgrade show a new distro yet/ [01:34] there is a plugin pack in the standard repo from can/ubuntu. why the devs have delete the spamprotect plugin? :| [01:34] for pidgin [01:35] will someone give me a link to edit a ubuntu iso without programs [01:35] SuperLag, if you set to upgrade to non-lts versions then yes [01:36] Captonjamason: that's not possible [01:36] noboddy ist online in the pidgin chat :( hope any can help me here in the official chat [01:36] Captonjamason, don't think there is really a bare install, you could install ubuntu server that doesn't have GUI tools by default but on a desktop that doesn't typically make much sense [01:36] i need a program like UCK to customise? [01:36] hello [01:37] If any of you have some time to spare and wouldn't mind, I'm setting up a home lab using ubuntu for the first time right now using Ubuntu documentation and I'm streaming it to twitch. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. If you'd like the link, let me know. [01:37] mini.iso installs the bare essentials [01:37] ive been planning on making a fork of ubuntu but to do so i need to customise the .iso [01:37] i want chose ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 15.04, please sent me advice! [01:38] Captonjamason: sounds like the totally wrong way to approach that, to me. [01:38] but uck and ubuntu builder doesnt work [01:39] "doesn't work" is sadly not a very detailed description [01:39] SuperLag, you can change the settings in the "Software and Updates" panel in the Upgrades tab [01:39] is there any way to adjust the monitor backlight brightness on a standard desktop monitor using only software? [01:40] uck gives me a error that says that it cant find some isolinux program or something [01:40] mchelen: no only special models support that [01:40] and ubuntu builder just flat out after i customize wont boot [01:40] mchelen: you can fake it on a software level [01:40] daftykins: ah too bad, it would be a nice feature to have [01:40] gioans, LTS is good if you don't care about bleeding edge updates otherwise you need to upgrade every 6 months, for work machines and servers I stick with LTS personally, usually try out the in between versions from extra drives or in VMs [01:40] petrvs: yeah i know, but the contrast or bleedthrough is always an issue [01:41] petrvs: maybe if i could find an amoled desktop monitor :D [01:41] Captonjamason: this is not the right channel for what you're doing, and there probably are enough ubuntu derivatives out there already [01:41] mchelen: mmm [01:41] mchelen: try xcalib -i -a [01:41] mchelen: or xcalib -a -green 1.0 0.0 75.0 -blue 1.0 0.0 50.0 [01:42] petrvs: its not installed, what does it do? [01:42] oh gamma adjustment [01:43] and -i inverts [01:43] i want to used only os for my laptop and i chosen Ubuntu, because ís friendly, easy suse and some application! [01:44] gioans: gj [01:44] I am confused between versions [01:44] gioans, yeah from what I've seen in 15.04 it was mostly about the update to systemd, some small user interface changes but nothing major [01:44] !lts | gioans [01:44] gioans: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [01:45] gioans, oh thought that had the link with the charts too but long story short would recommend the LTS if you aren't using/needing anything in the absolute latest version [01:45] gioans: the latest version is 15.04 [01:47] yeah! now i used version 15.04. it is unstable trouble when switching wireless networks [01:48] sometimes crashes and must be restarted [01:48] gioans, mostly there were just some version bumps for things like LibreOffice and things for developers, from a regular user perspective you'll have generally more stability in 14.04 for now at least http://www.zdnet.com/article/hands-on-with-ubuntu-15-04/ [01:49] i heard there was going to be some improvement for touchscreen laptops, but idk if that actually happened? [01:50] mchelen, I believe the focus is currently on making Unity 8 being the "convergence" version that works across their phone and the desktop (and any tablets that may come out) haven't really tried linux with a touchscreen (not counting Android) [01:50] thanks! and i a question! [01:50] mchelen, but it's Unity 7.3 for 15.04 apparently [01:51] I did hear some exciting news about insanely good battery life with that recently though which does make me curious to try it [01:51] wafflejock: ah ok, id really like to have multitouch work for browser zooming on my laptop [01:53] I lived in Vietnam and my proxy locked if i want access to foreign web, i am locking for application auto changing proxy, do you know it ? [01:53] mchelen, yeah I imagine that's going to have to be some combination of browser support and then the OS working with whatever the browsers provide [01:54] mchelen, I'm kind of surprised it wouldn't work in Chrome though they do have touch events in the browser I believe (that is distinguished from mouse events) [01:55] any thoughts out there on the best way to clone to a larger HDD? I have a USB enclosure for the new drive I can use until swap in. [01:56] I have 14.04(Ext4), Win7 (NTFS), Ubuntu Swap, and a Common FAT32 Partition. I expect to re-size them all after cloning or ghosting [01:56] gioans, not sure about that, you can change the proxy settings in the network settings manually but not sure what an automatic version of that would be doing exactly? [01:56] Craigwell, you end up trying clonezilla or just looking for suggestions still? [01:56] wafflejock: still just fishing [01:57] wafflejock: I probably wont try anything for a week or two [01:57] Hi, I got 20 gb for /(*root), 400 gb from /home and 60 gb free, If I want to create extra partition in ubuntu Is it possible to create partition? [01:57] Craigwell, yeah good to get your bearings before doing something like that [01:58] wafflejock: yeah i can swipe to scroll, but i dont think it can see more than 1 cursor point at a time [01:58] rahulprodev, yeah Gparted is the graphical utility for modifying your partitions, many times you end up running it from a LiveCD though so nothing is mounted while you're modifying it [01:58] rahulprodev: you can use gparted to do that, but sometime you can't because of your current mount point, try using live ubuntu cd/usb then [01:58] wafflejock: I'm not overly concerned about following the guides / resources you pointed out, I'm just in no rush, and curious about preferred methods of anyone who's been there. [01:59] thanks wafflejock , Stanley00 [01:59] mchelen, hmm appears it's hidden away in the labs settings in chrome maybe try this out http://www.itworld.com/article/2693355/how-to-make-google-chrome-work-better-with-touchscreen-pcs.html [02:00] Craigwell, yup makes sense, just haven't done it myself [02:02] hey somebody on here [02:03] my spotify wont launch [02:03] and i just installed it [02:03] Captonjamason, try running it from the command line see if you get any error output in the terminal [02:03] wafflejock: huh i just tried chromium w/o changing any settings, and pinch zoom worked! [02:03] mchelen, ah nice [02:03] wafflejock: maybe it was included in a recent version [02:04] wafflejock : afflejock> gioans, not sure about that, you can change the proxy settings in the network settings manually but not sure what an automatic version of that would be doing exactly? [02:04] how can i run it from the command line wafflejock [02:04] mchelen, yeah could easily be, I'm surprised they weren't more progressive about that with android and all though [02:04] i tried typing spotify-client but it wouldnt work [02:04] wafflejock: i am sory [02:05] Captonjamason, can check what the Exec= is set as in /usr/share/applications there should be a spotify.desktop file somewhere in there [02:05] wafflejock: For me fickle, so the network manually convert complex [02:05] não deu certo. :( [02:05] Captonjamason, can probably run, updatedb, then locate spotify.desktop (not positive about this name just a guess) [02:05] ok [02:05] wafflejock, Stanley00 , if i use gparted can i create another partition from /home partition, which is already created? or I need to use to free space. [02:05] im not familiar with those commands wafflejock [02:06] wafflejock: yeah i thought it would be farther along, i just ordered a touchscreen laptop w/o testing because it was the same price as w/o touchscreen [02:06] How can I reset my display settings? I failed to install an ati driver for my HD5450 (my kernel is too new), and I've lost dualscreen and have the wrong resolution on my current monitor. [02:06] wafflejock: but the support is a little uneven [02:06] wafflejock: i want edit one file on system, the same host of window [02:06] Captonjamason, updatedb just updates a local db for searching for files by name without knowing their path and locate will show you the path to the file [02:06] what i to do ? [02:06] rahulprodev: you'll need live ubuntu to do that [02:07] Captonjamason, once you have the .desktop file that's what Ubuntu uses to generate the listings for launching apps so if we can find the spotify one we can see what command it executes [02:07] Stanley00, ok thanks. [02:07] wafflejock: ok well then how do i use that command, im so sorry if it seems like im new to linux [02:07] Captonjamason, if we knew the path we can do "cat /usr/share/applications/spotify.desktop" and we would see the command it executes [02:07] instalei o ubuntu 15.04, mas não faz login. Não consigo acessar a área de trabalho. Alguém pode me ajudar? [02:08] Captonjamason, no worries, do updatedb first in a terminal [02:08] not there [02:08] wait [02:08] found it [02:08] a quick search in file manager found it [02:08] Captonjamason, ah cool k so if you can just open that .desktop file in a text editor it'll have a line that says Exec = something here [02:09] Captonjamason, whatever is something here is the executable name just run that from a terminal and see if you get any error output [02:09] i cant open it [02:09] Captonjamason, k you know the path from what you see? [02:09] yep [02:09] Captonjamason, just type, cat /path/to/file/here.desktop [02:09] in a terminal and it'll show you the contents [02:10] might really want cat /path/to/file/here.desktop | grep Exec [02:10] that way it outputs the file contents and finds the line with Exec in case it's a big desktop file [02:11] Exec=spotify %U [02:11] what do i do with this [02:12] Captonjamason, k yah so the command should just be spotify, %U I'm not sure about my guess off hand would be username but not sure [02:12] can try "man spotify", to see if it has a manual page to explain what the arguments are that it takes [02:12] captonjamason@captonjamason-X551MA:~$ spotify [02:12] spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:12] Captonjamason, okay looks like missing dependency [02:12] thats what it gave me [02:13] i installed it from there rep so it shouldnt have one [02:13] Captonjamason, http://www.webupd8.org/2015/04/fix-missing-libgcrypt11-causing-spotify.html [02:13] Captonjamason, generally not good to install PPAs but this does look like your problem probably [02:14] ok [02:14] and the only way to install spotify is through there ppa [02:15] Captonjamason, it looks like that might be the case right now, if this is something critical it'll probably get patched in 15.04 soon but I'm not privvy to any of that detail [02:15] i think it is [02:15] im installing what it needs [02:15] then we should be all set [02:16] it fired right up [02:16] cool [02:16] thanks wafflejock [02:16] np [02:16] now i have my music [02:17] How can I reset my display settings to defaults? I failed to install an ati driver for my HD5450 (my kernel is too new), and I've lost dualscreen and have the wrong resolution on my current monitor. [02:18] mk, if you installed the drivers manually there probably isn't a totally trivial way to go back, you can remove the kernel modules that are loaded, did you use the GUI (jockey) for adding additional drivers or manually install? === badon_ is now known as badon [02:20] If you used the installer from the ATI site you should be able to do the same command in terminal as you did to install it but add a "-u" to uninstall, that should also remove the "radeon" driver from the blacklist [02:21] wafflejock: I used the additional drivers tool, switching from xorg xserver to proprietary amd graphics [02:22] mk, you should be able to just switch back in the same interface in that case [02:22] I also tried a couple of installers from ati, but I think they both failed. [02:23] wafflejock: I've switched back (and back again), but my screen is stuck on 1 monitor 1400x1050 [02:24] mk do lspci -k, and show the lines for your graphics card specifically the kernel module loaded is the important part [02:25] Is totem got new look :) [02:26] I like it :) [02:26] 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430] Subsystem: Hightech Information System Ltd. Caicos [Radeon HD 5450] [02:27] Is that sufficient? === rahulprodev is now known as rabaprodev [02:28] mk, think a few lines below that if you have the -k flag it should show the module name that's loaded too like Kernel drive in use: something here [02:28] driver* [02:32] I see nothing relevant http://pastebin.com/gekEq6mL [02:35] mk okay well you aren't crazy but I must be wrong here, it does show for my intel graphics chipset that it's using i915 but not seeing it here either === tmro is now known as keroberros [02:36] mk you can try lsmod, to list the modules loaded but it's going to be a big list and not sure what the ati drivers would be called in there, perhaps Switches er someone else can chime in === swordsmanz is now known as swordsberry [02:38] wafflejock: http://pastebin.com/hBntmrT7 [02:39] the kernel module for AMD cards is fglrx [02:40] anybody knows how to highlight pdf in Ubuntu, then make it visible in Windows too? [02:41] It looks to me like the radeon driver is still blacklisted so it can't or won't load it. If you tryed the drivers from the amd site try the command you used to install them (should be able to get to it from using the up/down keys in terminal) with a -u at the end. [02:42] Hello. Is Ubuntu 15.04 a LTS? [02:42] no [02:42] oh... [02:42] mk: the command should be something like "./amd-.sh" [02:43] When is another LTS coming out? [02:43] mk: You said the kernel was too new right? so im guessing you're using 15.04? [02:43] administrador, 16.04 should be LTS, every 2 yrs typically [02:43] Anybody watching the game? [02:44] @administrador, Is there a new package or something you want? or just a question? [02:45] rking, I was trying to compile UE4 and it didnt work, I just wanted to try the latest [02:46] Switches: uname -r returns 3.13.0-44-generic [02:46] Ah I gotcha. [02:46] hmm 14.04 then [02:48] mk: not sure why its telling you the kernel is to new, the driver from AMD supports upto kernel 3.16 without patchs and 3.19 (ubuntus latest) with a patch. This isn't a switchable GPU like the Nvidia optimus? === victor is now known as Guest92396 [02:53] Switches: it's an ati HD 5450. I downloaded and ran `./amd-driver-installer-14.501.1003-x86.x86_64.run`, popup said "install required pre-reqs, see log", log said fglrx installation requires that the system has kernel headers for 3.7 release. /lib/modules/3.13.0-44-generic/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system. [02:53] Install kernel headers using the command apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-44-generic. [02:55] mk: Try doing "./amd-driver-installer-14.501.1003-x86.x86_64.run -u" see if it throws an error saying fglrx not found [02:56] Could someone tell me the overall differences between xubuntu and ubuntu? [02:57] MrPenguin_: Basically the user interface, xubuntu uses XFCE, ubuntu uses Unity [02:57] MrPenguin_: Only the default packages that are installed. xubuntu has XFCE DE installed by default, ubuntu has unity. That is all. [02:57] Which one runs better on high performance hardware? [02:58] both [02:58] @MrPenguin_ any DE will run great on high performance machines. [02:59] Unless your running really low end machines, DE's are entirely preference. [02:59] :) [03:00] MrPenguin_: They run the same on "high performance" hardware. [03:00] Switches: "The AMD Catalyst(TM) Proprietary Linux(R) graphics driver cannot be uninstalled using the above command for the current Linux distribution. If you installed the driver using the Debian package management system, you must uninstall it using the command dpkg -r fglrx-dev fglrx-amdcccle fglrx." [03:00] I did try installing it using the software centre earlier [03:01] i like the xubuntu interface, just didn't know that it performed well on high performance hardware thanks for the info [03:01] I don't recall the outcome, but fglrx has an "install" button in the software centre now, so it looks like it's not installed... [03:02] mk: hmm so you didn't do a manual install, try the dpkg commands it gives see if it clears anything out [03:03] dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove fglrx-dev which isn't installed [...] fglrx-amdcccle which isn't installed [...] dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove fglrx, only the config [03:03] files of which are on the system; use --purge to remove them too [03:04] Switches: all the manual installs appeared to fail, so that seems correct [03:05] Hi, I have multiple ssh keys and I want to manage my keys. I create the file ~/.ssh/config containing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10883175/ [03:05] But when I try to ssh, it gives this error: line 3: Bad configuration option: identifyfile. [03:05] might this be an issue with one of my standard graphics config files being messed up? [03:05] I am sure about the private key, though. [03:05] where are the screen resolutions usually stored? [03:06] mk: Thats what I'm thinking, the resolutions are normally stored in /etc/X11/Xorg.conf [03:06] hello, how can i install this package http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/lib32bz2-1.0 [03:06] ? [03:07] mk: Also have a look in the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist to see if the "radeon" module has been placed there. [03:07] Switches: sudo gedit /etc/X11/Xorg.conf shows a blank file [03:07] mojtaba, you try with a full path instead of ~ [03:07] mojtaba, have typically just use ssh -i keyname user@server to connect with a different private key myself [03:08] zero_coder: sudo apt-get install lib32bz2-1.0 [03:08] zero_coder: What are you looking for that package to do for you? [03:09] wafflejock: thx [03:09] I'm trying to get Windows 7/Ubuntu 15.04 dual boot working. I installed Windows 7, then installed Ubuntu 15.04, but I'm not getting the boot menu when I reset. [03:10] blacklist also shows a blank file. Neither one exists. But, er, /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists (lowercase), as well as a .failsafe and .original-0 [03:10] Toxygene: What happens when you boot the computer? [03:10] deadmund, nope its not available in vivid. [03:10] deadmund, android studio needs it. [03:10] deadmund, it goes straight to windows 7 === DoweedhY_ is now known as DoweedhYaa3qob [03:10] mk: hmm try reading the xorg.conf see what that says [03:10] zero_coder: Oh, sorry didn't realize you're trying to install something from a different repo. [03:10] zero_coder: mmmm, let me see about that.... [03:11] Switches: http://pastebin.com/ydvutUSh xorg.conf contents [03:12] deadmund, can i just download it and install using package manager? it wont break anything , right? [03:12] zero_coder: I don't know if it will break anything. I suspect it will "work" though. [03:13] mk: Ok theres half the problem, thats still the xorg.conf for the ATI card. You could try doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [03:13] zero_coder: But I really don't know. There may be a more prudent way to do it, by adding the previous release's repos to your sources.lst Also this: http://www.howtogeek.com/117929/how-to-downgrade-packages-on-ubuntu/ [03:13] Done, no output. Should I reboot? [03:13] Toxygene: When you installed Ubuntu, do you remember any choice to install the bootloader? Do you have more than one HDD on this machine? [03:13] mk: You may need to reboot for it to settle it [03:14] xorg.conf appears unchanged [03:14] Toxygene: I suggest you re-launch the ubuntu installer and just try it again. But, you'll have to be more careful with the partitioning this time. I would choose manual "do something else" and make sure the partitioning makes sense. [03:14] It didn't mention anything about a bootloader, there was just a visual buide to resize the HD to make an Ubuntu partition. There are multiple hard drives. [03:14] mk: hmm [03:14] deadmund, thanks mate :) [03:15] Toxygene: ok, pause on that re-trying the installer. Which HDD has ubuntu on and which has windows? [03:15] deadmund, they're both on the same HD [03:16] My former card was an nvidea, it died. I installed this ATI HD5450. Dualscreen, resolution fine. Decided to try upgrading the driver (or something?) yesterday, it's been one-screen weird resolution since then. [03:16] It was definitely installling onto the right hard drive; it mentioned windows specifically and wanted me to resize the main partition so they was room for ubuntu. [03:17] Maybe I need to get a terminal window open and manually setup grub? [03:17] mk: Try deleting the xorg.conf you found, restart the computer (should for the Xserver to create a new one). [03:17] ] [03:17] oops [03:17] Toxygene: How can you get a terminal open if you boot straight to windows? [03:18] Toxygene: I guess we can install grub manually (but it's not the easiest thing to do). [03:18] That was meant to be "force the Xserver" man i need to sleep [03:18] yea, I think I'd have to boot off the ISO, mount the drive, chroot, ect [03:18] meh [03:18] Toxygene: Here are some instructions: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd [03:19] Rebooting. [03:19] haha, yup, we're on the same wavelength [03:19] Toxygene: Didn't realize you were so well versed! (chroot no less!) I'm very surprised the installer did not properly set up grub. usually, at the partition step, there is an option and by default it will install grub. Maybe it was pointing to the wrong HDD (since you have several) [03:19] Yea, I use to do this all the time back when I used Gentoo a decade ago. [03:20] But the hassle is exactly why I switched to Ubuntu :) [03:20] Alright, thanks for you help! [03:20] Toxygene: things have changed a lot since then, we have compiz now ;) [03:21] Toxygene: Also, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 were all "the year of linux on the desktop" so things are OBVIOUSLY a lot different now. [03:21] Cause 2015 is the REAL year of linux on the desktop. [03:21] hahaha [03:21] :P [03:21] Switches: still the same... [03:21] 2012 [03:21] I love telling the mac people at work that it's the year of linux on the desktop [03:21] the look i get [03:21] classic [03:21] up arrow does not show command history from last terminal session, how can I reenable? [03:22] xorg.conf was not recreated, that file does not exist [03:23] mk: Bah, it's got me at a loss then, never had an AMD card be this bad.. [03:24] mk, bash stores your history of commands in ~/.bash_history pretty sure when you up arrow it's just using that list [03:24] mk: Worst part is mine actually runs the same HD5450 with no issues, has done for the last 6 or more years lol [03:24] Switches: haha [03:25] mk: does the "fc" command work?? [03:25] "bash: fc: history specification out of range" [03:25] mk: I've had issues like this with the legacy cards (older non HD ones) but never had this with a HD.. even the new R285 I have works ok with the AMD drivers [03:26] is there any way to install some sort of safe driver? [03:26] or instead of trying to revert, what new driver can I try to install to make it all work? [03:27] Well thats what all this we been doing should have done :p, I guess you could try opening up "jockey" and telling it to use the fglrx-upgrades" and see if that works [03:27] mk if you boot with nomodeset in the boot params it uses the vesa driver which is basically the fallback/safety driver if things go wrong but doesn't give you any hardware specific features/acceleration [03:27] Switches: "Unable to locate package jockey" ? [03:28] mk: meh it should be the Additional Drivers in the menu [03:28] Switches: I did try -upgrades before === swordsberry is now known as sordsmanz === sordsmanz is now known as swordsmanz [03:29] ok, 1 prop driver in use, closing this thing and... rebooting? [03:30] mk: yep and fingers, toes and whatever else you can cross, crossed [03:33] hello [03:37] ranga: hello [03:37] Switches: video still broken [03:38] -> deadmund hi [03:38] hi [03:38] mk: Sorry then matey, I ain't got a clue what its doing. [03:39] the card worked fine before, even without the drivers... I suspect that simply reinstalling ubuntu will fix everything, so it seems there should be a way to reset to default [03:39] Switches: ok, I'll keep at it for a bit. Thanks a ton for your help :) [03:39] mk: well thats what dpkg--reconfigure is meant to do [03:40] why can not I connect to remote server at 445 port? [03:40] why can not I connect to remote server at 445 port? [03:40] mk: No worries, just shame we couldn't get it totally fixed [03:40] the server is listening at 445 [03:50] luaboy, you can try nmap to see what ports are open from a client perspective, perhaps firewall problems [03:51] luaboy, on the server can run sudo netstat -tulnp, to verify the process is using that port that you expect [03:57] #pyar === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [04:04] How can I know the list of loaded modules in lighttpd? === Guest25671 is now known as Guest76152 === stuff2 is now known as bruxC [04:21] Hey does anyone know whether you can change the position of the Minimize-Maximize-Close Buttons in Ubuntu 15.04 to the left or if thy are locked, if I can't move them I will not install 15.04 unfortunatley... [04:23] is there a channel for the awesome wm? [04:27] wafflejock:the 445 port is running [04:30] Haxxa, pretty sure there is an option in the appearance panel that lets you change the position of the buttons but I tried on a liveUSB and it didn't seem to pay attention to me changing the setting and couldn't cleanly restart the interface without things blowing up in the live USB environment, so guess yes it's there, but I'm not sure if it's working [04:31] wafflejock, just checked apparently no - As I wrote in technical details, Canonical hardcoded buttons position in their Unity plugin. Changing of this needs this plugin to be patched by some third-party programmers. As for now such a patch is not available [04:31] They deliberately hardcoded buttons position on the left side and do not expose any position switch to the user, in order to maintain "consistent user experience", as they call it [04:32] ubuntu 15.04 youtube videos working more smoothly.. :D :) [04:36] Haxxa, hmm yeah that's a bummer, as little as it is that and the menus being hidden and in the top bar got me looking at and using KDE for a while and now using Gnome, still happy with the Ubuntu base though === Artpicre is now known as Guest72815 [04:45] My Kubuntu dist-upgrade to 15.04 has hung during configuration step.

[07:16] LeeenDah: well, you could `sudo ln -s /tmp/tmpmount/etc/fstab /etc/fstab` so that mount -a "works", but that *isn't* what you want. You already have a root on the live USB. You can only mount the partitions that don't conflict with the live USB. [07:16] does anyone have any idea what could be wrong here during the startup: http://i.imgur.com/lIHz9ns.jpg ?

If it does, then you can append lines from your hard drive's /etc/fstab to it. Otherwise, what raphus says. [07:19] raphus, thats a good idea or just a separate bash script. write once, run whenever you need it [07:19] hey guys why terminator crashes alot in ubuntu but not in debian?

[11:56] but I like using synaptic more than I like using the ubuntu default. I can explore the packages it's recommending to be installed, rather than just look at a list and install them all [11:56] luckybunny, that is the 1st thing i install: synaptic, but you still need softwarecenter. [11:57] then again, I like that update manager notifies me about updates, and checks regularly [11:57] no idea if I can get synaptic to do that [11:57] hello, how do i change a theme in irssi?

[12:26] <\\Mr_C\\> ./UnrealLinux.bin [12:27] \\Mr_C\\, make it executable? [12:27] <\\Mr_C\\> did the chown [12:27] <\\Mr_C\\> it works in debian, but not ubuntu [12:28] OerHeks, well 3.14 seems to be the latest and i found a page http://www.webupd8.org/2014/10/how-to-install-gnome-314-in-ubuntu.html it seems there are some conflicts with unity [12:28] \\Mr_C\\, maybe chmod +x ...? [12:28] Athos-x: revert to the open source driver [12:29] mehdi__, can't help you there. [12:29] The open source driver is laggy for some reason... Especially with the app tray... I am using the latest Gnome. [12:29] Is there no way around this? [12:29] mehdi__, besides, that guide is for 14.10 [12:29] It is only a splashscreen i know lol but it does annoy me hahaha... [12:30] OerHeks, is there any application like system restore if such things happened so i can revert it? [12:30] mehdi__, not standard, no. this is not windows. [12:30] any one clever about apache? I want a subdomain for baten.z-sverige.nu, which is added in the dns. it works. I have added a config in apache in a seperate config file in availibel/enabled. http://pastebin.com/b19Yg9tA and yet, going to baten.z-sverige.nu brings the content of z-sverige.nu ? how come..?

[12:51] Ok, I will try that [12:52] I think it may have been logging into lightdm [12:52] geri i'm lost, was your problem related to read-only fs ? [12:52] geri, because it is LTS, long term support, if you want newer, upgrade to 14.10-15.04 [12:52] so ubuntu 14.04 is quiet old? [12:52] geri: from month 04 in 2014 [12:52] ok [12:52] geri, April 2014. bear in mind; bleeding edge is often bloody. choose wisely. [12:53] geri: but as LTS they continue to update it [12:53] geri: 14.04.2 updated now has a slightly newer kernel (3.16 vs 3.13) [12:53] Still cant login to gnome shell [12:54] dreamcat4^: i might need to modify the kernel [12:54] i only want to use 1 core for my ubuntu [12:54] Athos-x did you install the testing repository as well? [12:54] geri: perhaps you should use 15.04 then, as it has 3.19 kernel now === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [12:54] dreamcat4^: would i be able to select only 1 kernel to be used? [12:55] geri: what do you want to use your other core(s) for then ? [12:55] dreamcat4^: bare metal [12:56] geri: i assume by that you mean vmware esxi or some other hypervisor [12:58] geri: well here's what i am doing: run ubuntu 15.04 desktop with 3.19 kernel. then run all my server stuff in docker contianers, or ubuntu minbase 14.04.2 [13:02] dreamcat4^: docker? [13:02] dreamcat4^: i dont do cloud computing :D [13:02] dreamcat4^: i need performance :) [13:03] and not a virtual layer in between [13:03] performance with single core, right. [13:04] is it easily possible to install ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on a uefi system with MBR partitioning (dual booting with windows..) [13:04] lush there is a uefi manual about it [13:04] !uefi [13:04] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [13:04] OerHeks: not each problem is parallelisable :D [13:04] parallelizable [13:05] geri: well docker is good for that... it's linux containers (namespace). it's for suitable local and cloud services (either) [13:05] However much I like shell 3.16, I think im going to leave it [13:05] lol [13:07] geri: also - it is more effecient sharing the memory than an HV and other resources (cpu, etc) [13:08] how can i see the free space on my linux? [13:08] geri, easy. open terminal: free [13:08] how can i remove left default panel in desktop and to make a one in bottom/center tool menu bar? [13:09] nullbyte_, if you point at the unity bar, you can't. [13:09] hm http://ideone.com/0KSjnR [13:09] geri: df -h, there are also other disk analyzer tools. [13:09] nullbyte_, you can hide it, and use an other dock [13:10] http://ideone.com/0KSjnR ...bad ! === mathieu is now known as Guest82248 [13:10] OerHeks: yes the docks, how ? from gnome.extensions.org or... ? [13:10] dreamcat4^: can i extend and get more space? [13:10] geri: i seem to have a gui program named 'Disk Usage Analyzer' installed. it does the job ok. but there are a couple of other ones too [13:11] geri, free is for memory , df -h will give you disk details [13:11] nullbyte_, look in softwarecenter? [13:11] ok [13:11] dreamcat4^: im worried about /dev/mmcblk0p2 474M 470M 0 100% / [13:11] Hi... I'm trying to upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 15.04... I have changed settings in my source manager so that it doesn't only fetch new upgrade from LTS... However, it's only prompting me 14.10 upgrade? Do I need to upgrade to 14.10 before I upgrade to 15.04? [13:11] geri that looks like a memorycard, did you boot from the iso ? [13:12] Guest82248, correct. [13:12] OerHeks: it is! i dd the image onto the sd card [13:12] geri: it's not hard. if you have a gui you can run gparted. else you may have been provided a script to do it for you. (or use fdisk etc.) [13:12] geri, no wonder that you have no diskspace, grinn [13:12] dreamcat4^: i dont have a gui [13:12] Guest82248, 14.04 > 14.10 > 15.04 OR torrent the 15.04 .iso, make a USB and clean install [13:13] OerHeks: is there a quick fix? the sd card is 16GB [13:13] I'm kind of surprised that Ubuntu can't jump two versions, but that makes sense I guess. [13:13] geri: what is the hardware ? [13:13] dreamcat4^: embedded platform [13:14] arm cortex a9 [13:14] geri, that is not how it works, you can make the rest of the card a filesystem, it should be an option during making of that bootdevice [13:14] OerHeks: insert the card into my mac? [13:15] hi [13:15] how doing i leave Kernel Panic [13:16] ubottu 15.04? [13:16] MonkeyDust: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [13:16] dang completion [13:17] geri: i have an odroid-C1 arm device. they provide a 'resizefs' shell script that can run on the cmdline after booting into ubuntu 14.04. [13:17] dreamcat4^: can you give it to me? [13:18] geri: but it just runs a few fdisk cmds and stuff like that [13:18] will i be able to see the rest of the space left on my card in my current ubuntu session? [13:18] geri: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=2948 [13:18] dreamcat4^: http://ideone.com/KzMp10 [13:19] geri: the guy who posted that script is one of the software maintainers in odroid OSS community, so he can be trusted [13:20] dreamcat4^: will i need to reboot or so? [13:20] im in the command line === logan_ is now known as Guest26356 [13:22] geri: you need to check or rename the partition in the script to match your device (if different) ---> https://gist.github.com/dreamcat4/853032af79d063f4ee3e [13:22] geri: and all other instructions are on the forum thread. ok?

[14:27] !ot | Kosl: probably offtopic for here, since it's a future plan, I've seen talk about that in #ubuntu-offtopic though [14:27] Kosl: probably offtopic for here, since it's a future plan, I've seen talk about that in #ubuntu-offtopic though: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:27] hi all [14:27] webcheck: hello [14:27] Greetings & Welcome [14:27] hi! [14:28] I have a script setting environment variables in /etc/profile.d. when I open terminal I see the variable is set. when I do `sudo su root`, the variables is not set anymore. why is that? [14:28] i'm looking a way to implement the argv and argc on an existing code but i don't know how to do it, any help? [14:29] asido, root uses a different PATH env [14:30] asido, http://askubuntu.com/questions/128413/setting-the-path-so-it-applies-to-all-users-including-root-sudo [14:38] Can anyone tell me what the difference is between choosing "Lock/Switch User" from the unity menu and using Meta + L to lock a session? [14:39] as nobody answers me in #elementary I'll try to ask here again as it seems to be a general ubuntu concern and not a elementary-specific one: === alpha32 is now known as Guest29134 [14:39] [16:34] I installed a dual boot with win7 and elementary freya on my uefi machine [16:34] I chose MBR and I booted in legacy mode (at least I hope so) [16:34] I've got a ssd (/dev/sda) with windows [16:35] And a hdd with elementary (dev/sdb), and I installed grub into /dev/sdb [16:35] After the installation finished I wasn't able to boot elementary (grub doesn't load, it always loads windows) and I don' [14:39] ah damn [14:39] wait [14:39] lush, nope. doesn't work like that. you're running elementary. go to elementary for support. [14:39] I installed a dual boot with win7 and elementary freya on my uefi machine [14:40] lush, why? because it's not ubuntu. [14:40] cfhowlett: why? elementary is completely based on ubuntu and this is just a problem with booting it directly after the installation [14:40] HaloInReverse, "lock" locks the current user and requires pw to unlock. "Switch" changes user [14:40] Pavlos: It's the same menu item. [14:40] cfhowlett: so if somebody asks for kubuntu support here he won't get any tips? [14:40] !flavors | these are supported. if it's not on this list, it's not supported [14:40] these are supported. if it's not on this list, it's not supported: !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. === Guest29134 is now known as mahalo [14:41] !nomodeset [14:41] 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. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [14:41] lush, please see !flavors [14:41] lush elementary has it's own channel; there's no reason to come here [14:41] Pavlos: Choosing lock/switch user should (in theory) lock the session and take me to the lock screen. Instead it crashes my session. [14:41] hello === rajesh is now known as Guest21579 [14:41] Pavlos: However, Meta +L, which in theory does the exact same thing, doesn't crash the session. [14:41] MonkeyDust: there is, this one is far more active and I would have the exactly same problem with Ubuntu [14:42] cfhowlett: I don't get it... I'm rly sure it's not a elementary-specific problem but a general problem [14:42] lush i guess you're getting now, that you'll find no support here [14:42] pft [14:43] HaloInReverse, mt laptop runs 14.04, unity. I pressed lock, it asked for my pw. no crash [14:43] lush, perhaps there's a cosmic message: when choosing an OS, select one that provides the support needed?? [14:43] pavlos: mine does that too... and did that too from "lock/switch user" until very recently. Now it crashes my session. Are there any log files I can look through to find a cause? [14:44] cfhowlett: I just wanted to use an ubuntu with a pantheon desktop omg If I'd just have installed Ubuntu, removed unity and tehn added the elementary ppa it would still be a ubuntu with pantheon, as elementary is.. [14:44] lush: maybe when I have ubuntu problems, I should go to #debian because ubuntu is completely based off debian. [14:44] lush: have you tried setting you bios to bit the other drive first [14:44] lush, elementary has its own issues [14:45] anyone have any issues with installing 15.04 over 14.10? [14:45] lush, and yet and still: it's not an ubuntu flavor. ask elementary for support. It IS their distro and their responsibility. [14:45] nope [14:45] Snarkster this is the support channel, so ask your question [14:45] so upgrading is no problem? [14:45] tgm4883: I don't know how but I guess that's the problem.. I only get the ssd displayed in my boot menu in uefi [14:46] Snarkster, what exactly is the problem you're having? [14:46] HaloInReverse, /var/log/auth.log ... it should have an entry about lock [14:46] oats: maybe if it is a problem that concerns the deb-pkging system or so [14:46] my problem is last time i upgraded, it broke.. will it break this time? [14:46] OerHeks: I know but that's not the point :P [14:47] Snarkster, back up your data, try it and see. OR select a Long Term Support version. [14:47] thanx [14:47] LTS +1 [14:47] lush: why did you install in legacy mode [14:47] hrm... how about this: gnome-keyring-daemon[2389]: couldn't allocate secure memory to keep passwords and or keys from being written to the disk [14:47] It seems to line up with the crashes. [14:48] tgm4883: because I wanted to use MBR and not GPT, and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI recommended it this way [14:48] tgm4883, if you want to provide support to a non-ubuntu distro, perhaps you and lush can take it private, please? [14:49] tgm4883: ... and windows is installed this way .. so to load windows UEFI/MBR I need to use UEFI/MBR in linux as well [14:49] cfhowlett: how about thgis: I'm trying to install Kubuntu on my HDD machine dual booting to windows [14:49] SSD: Windows MBR [14:49] HDD Kubuntu MBR [14:49] After the installtion I wasn't able to boot up Kubuntu as grub won't load [14:49] may you help me tgm4883 pls? [14:50] so, if we give you Kubuntu instructions for your ELEMENTARY machine and it breaks, you won't come back to complain, right? [14:51] ObrienDave: y [14:51] right [14:51] lush: I don't see MBR listed on that Page. What I do see is "f the other systems (Windows Vista/7/8, GNU/Linux...) of your computer are installed in UEFI mode, then you must install Ubuntu in UEFI mode too." === xubuntu is now known as Guest65264 [14:51] tgm4883: yeah but I installed windows in bios mode === Guest65264 is now known as Guest88588 [14:52] lush: I don't believe you. But in any case, I would have installed grub to the primary drive [14:53] tgm4883: it says that legacy is recommended.. I see that BootRepair tip but I'm not sure whether it will choose my drive on which it should repair grub [14:53] tgm4883: You don't believe me that I installed windows in bios mode? [14:54] tgm4883: SO you think my mb just recognizes the first bootloader on the ssd and then doesn't search for other ones? [14:55] Hmm I'm running xubuntu, with 3 monitors, and I don't see any option to change my rightmost monitor to the primary monitor. Any idea how to do that? [14:55] lush: the reason elementary is isn't supported here is because we don't know what they changed. This includes in the installations of grub [14:55] tgm4883: I explicitly did boot in the non-uefi mode so it should be [14:56] tgm4883: So if I'd install windows on /dev/sda and then ubuntu on /dev/sdb with grub on /dev/sdb, both MBR, bot legacy mode, ubuntu would just bboot? === root is now known as Guest6241 [14:57] I am trying to install ubuntu 15 gnome edition, but the installer is total crap and I cannot finish the install process [14:58] lush: possibly [14:58] someone12: can you be a little more specific, please? [14:58] what's happeningL [14:58] someone12 define total crap [14:59] example1: if I choose "erase disk and install ubuntu" it attempts to install ubuntu on my usb flash drive (which I am booting from) instead of my ssd. It then says there is not enough space (duh) [14:59] example2: "swap creation failed" [14:59] example3: formatting ext4 failed [15:00] so I gparte'ed the ssd in another ubuntu, did not check format ext4, left out the swap partition, and the installation process starts [15:00] encryption ? [15:00] Hi, i have installed a Distibution that is based on Ubuntu (Trisquel 7.0). Is it possible to install AMD Catalyst™ 14.6 Beta for Linux which is made for Ubuntu 14.04 on that distibution? [15:00] krlmrx not supported here [15:00] lush: why would you want legacy mode over uefi mode anyway. Uefi is awesome [15:00] krlmrx, better to ask trisquel [15:00] but then: no progress bar, no information what is happening, I waited for 20min, then I stopped the process [15:01] tgm4883: not at all if I don't get it to boot windows and linux [15:01] they won't support it either [15:01] ioria: It's a samsung ssd, I activated hardware encryption via ata password [15:01] krlmrx then choose a distro that's better supported [15:02] lush: you can't boot either in uefi mode [15:02] tgm4883: what do you mean? [15:02] someone12 so you didn't choose encryption during installation ? [15:02] no I did not [15:02] lush: sorry that was a question [15:03] I chose "something" else and then assigned / and /home to the partitions I created before === malo is now known as malebola [15:03] Danm. Installing XP in a VM. that old textbased interface :P [15:03] Has the progress bar been completely removed? [15:03] sorry wrong irc [15:03] tgm4883: I can boot at least windows in uefi mode (didn't try Kubuntu) but I tried to install gentoo on my hdd and I wasn't able to get GPT/UEFI running so I'm not that more interested in UEFI mode.. [15:04] /msg malebola identify amfeta [15:04] Hello everyone. I'm debugging an issue with saned network scanning ( LP#1442956 ) and was wondering if anyone has successfully set this up in either Utopic or Vivid? It's working for me in Trusty, so seems a regression. [15:04] malebola: you may want to change your password now [15:05] ^^ [15:05] !password [15:05] Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [15:05] hmm [15:05] I don't remember the command for that [15:05] !identify [15:05] You can identify to NickServ automatically when connecting to freenode. See https://www.freenode.net/faq.shtml#identify for more information. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password » in the server tab as soon as possible. [15:05] malebola: ^ [15:05] malebola: hehe that was an evil one :D [15:06] someone12 well, i don't know much about hardware encryption... maybe that's the issue [15:07] Hello, is there a way to create an exact copy of my boot partition to boot from it with the data on my home folder as well? [15:07] hi [15:07] How do i create a channel? [15:07] hm, samsung ssds always use hardware encryption, if no password is set, the password is ""... [15:08] krlmrx: according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trisquel and http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/11/download-trisquel-7-0-kernel-3-13 trisquel is based on ubuntu 14.04 [15:08] krlmrx: so it should not be a problem to install that driver on trsiquel ;) [15:08] lush: so here's the deal. And this advise comes with zero warranty. Fire up a live cd and do the boot repair stuff. If it breaks everything, then you reinstall. If not, and it doesn't fix everything, contact your motherboard manufacture and see why it's not recognizing grub on the second hard drive [15:08] here's how to get **** for password feedback. http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/08/ubuntu-display-asterisks-when-typing-password-terminal/ === norm is now known as Guest41825 [15:09] tgm4883: do you know whether boot-repair will just execute some grub2-install --target=x86_64 /dev/sdX or whether there is more behind it? [15:09] lush: what I would have done is use UEFI. Short of that, I would have plugged in one hard drive, installed windows. Unplugged that hard drive and plugged in the other, installed Linux. Then once I verified I could boot each separately install both hard drives together and fix grub [15:10] lush: I don't know [15:10] lush: did you install in legacy mode, not UEFI? [15:10] tgm4883: I did it this way with gentoo, the problem seems to be that my mb will only recognize the EFI partition of my first drive [15:10] someone12 if you don't have specific need, try the default set up instead of 'something else' [15:11] lush: then install grub to your first drive. I'm assuming you can't just put your motherboard in bios only mode? [15:11] HaloInReverse: I'm pretty sure. I've got a new mb so it took me a while but I configured to prefer booting legacy than in uefi [15:11] tgm4883: don't think so [15:11] lush: what motherboard [15:11] I'm running 14.04 with gnome atm and alt+tab is not working even though I set it in keyboard shortcuts. this is annoying. can you help? [15:11] tgm4883: aus z97-p [15:12] lush: you can't mix both legacy and UEFI. It just won't work [15:12] lush: why not install grub to your first drive? [15:12] HaloInReverse: I know I booted win7 in legacy and linux in legacy [15:12] ioria: when I chose the default method, it somehow tried to install ubuntu on my flash drive (which I am booting from) instead of my ssd, and then failed with an error saying there is not enough space [15:12] that's the point [15:12] tgm4883: Will grub be able to boot windows if I override the windows boot loader`? [15:13] oh. well, as mentioned earlier, your best bet is to roll the dice with boot-repair. [15:13] the flash drives gets mounted as /dev/sdb and the ssd as /dev/sda.. [15:13] lush: I would say yes, how do you think it works on single drive dual boots [15:13] can DirectX11 work on wineskin? [15:13] lush: or, just swap the drive cables [15:14] Hulio: afaik Wine only offers lower levels of the directX API [15:14] tgm4883: ahh good point I'll try switching that cables :) [15:14] ty [15:14] Hulio: check them out in their channel to confirm #winehq [15:14] someone12 uefi motherboard ? [15:14] lush: ok, I've broken enough rules in this channel today. [15:14] tgm4883: )) [15:14] ty man ;) [15:15] tgm4883, we're keeping score ;P [15:15] ioria: graphical with mouse support, so let's yes? [15:15] ObrienDave: if that is true, then I'm probably winning :) [15:15] lol [15:15] +say [15:16] someone12 dual boot ? [15:16] I have dual boot on another hdd, but now I want to install ubuntu on an empty ssd [15:17] I actually disconnected the hdd during the installtion to be sure.. [15:17] someone12: that sounds like exactly what I did [15:18] and your installer freezes/bugs out too? :D [15:18] someone12 did you select correctly your uefi usb for boot ? [15:19] there were 2 options to boot from the usb flash drive. I chose the non-UEFI version. I read that you don't need to choose UEFI if you don't use dual boot. [15:20] someone12: why not choose UEFI? [15:20] UEFI is great! [15:20] what is the advantage [15:20] faster boot, better looking boot screen [15:20] *tumbleweed* [15:20] I'm sure there are others [15:20] someone12 are you sure your ssd is ok , i mean not damaged ? [15:21] tgm4883: that was a really nice tip! [15:21] someone12: what is the disadvantage? [15:21] tgm4883: I'm at least able to manually say my uefi now that it should boot from my hdd [15:21] lush: so you can boot linux now? [15:21] but I don't see my hdd in my boot-priority order :< [15:22] tgm4883: I can boot Windows and my 120% based Kubuntu now [15:22] but I can't change the boot order so that my hdd is preferred over the windows :D [15:22] It is a fresh new 850 pro and, gparted had no problems allocating partitions [15:22] good [15:22] hello [15:22] someone12: 850evo here :) [15:22] i am a new ubuntu [15:22] someone12 has been used in RAID ? [15:22] my version 14.04 [15:22] yo gioankminh [15:22] welcome [15:22] I am not using RAID [15:23] aaagh [15:23] i install Wine 1.7 [15:23] tgm4883: aah and it works through chainloading, so it seems like grub just fires up the windows boot loader [15:23] gioankminh: you can type more words per sentence [15:23] so reinstalling grub on /dev/sda may have faild it :) [15:23] my menus in the title bar aren't serving me too well any more. Title bars are white and the fonts on them are white also. All I did was upgrade to 15.04 [15:24] and i set EXE app, i didn't run with addmin [15:24] someone12 try swith sata connector [15:24] I remember days when you could customise your theme [15:24] gioankminh: please don't use enter as punctuation [15:24] switch [15:24] I like adwaita, but I want to change a few things about it [15:26] ioria: I have the ssd mounted right now and can write to it (from my dual boot setup on the hdd) [15:27] although only as root :s [15:28] someone12 ' try Ubuntu' works ? [15:28] I will boot from the usb flash drive as uefi and try again [15:28] yes live booting works [15:28] I'm running 14.04 with gnome atm and alt+tab is not working even though I set it in keyboard shortcuts. this is annoying. can you help? [15:28] i installed and i set EXE app, i didn't run with addmin [15:29] someone12 format the drive with ext4 from there [15:29] gioankminh: please stop repeating. you have to phrase a question to get a reply. try asking in #winehq [15:29] hi [15:30] ioria: the entire ssd? I partitioned it as described here (http://askubuntu.com/questions/343268/how-to-use-manual-partitioning-during-installation) in my working setup [15:31] someone12 ah, ok [15:31] Hi, I just installed fresh ubuntu 14.04.01 server on a vm, and having some network issues. At first I had on network interface, and later (after boot) I added a second one. And although the first one is configured (and correctly, I have internet connection), I can't seem to any files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ . Also, sudo udevadm trigger ( with and without --action=add ) doesn't regenerate the net persistent rules file in there. [15:32] So first, how does ubuntu 'link' between the (working) eth0 and the mac address? And how do I generate the file? [15:32] I'll be back in 30min if it also does not work with UEFI [15:32] I'm having a very annoying problem with suspend. After resuming from suspend, the lock screen appears, and when I click on my account, I get an endless loop of blackscreen/desktop and back to the lock screen [15:33] Hello, Is there a way to make a bootable partition out of my current installation to back it up in another HD? [15:33] in #winehq no body oinline [15:33] I have auto login enabled, and I'm assuming that the user account isn't being authenticated, so it kicks me back out to the lock screen [15:34] Lo all.. I hope someone can help? Since update to 15.04 (which now uses systemd by default), my shutdown/reboots are pausing for exactly 10 minutes before poweroff/reboot completes respectively. I can't seem to find any clear issues in syslog, and I've tried adding a dmesg on shutdown which is also void of anything seemingly useful. I can ping the machine fine during these 10 minutes, but no [15:34] ssh. Monitor just shows a "_" character at top left of the screen during this pause and I cant seem to switch to another tty to debug ? [15:34] is there any way I can change the colour of my title bars without changing the theme they're using?

[18:43] but how come i dont see rules in my.cnf although phpmyadmin gets values for them??? [18:44] that would be a question for #php [18:45] Anarchic, phpmyadmin might be setting the values for the variables without writing them to the config file. [18:46] Anarchic, i have no experience with phpmyadmin so that is just my guess. [18:46] athan: there is only one mysql config file, yes.

[18:50] anternat: Which Ubuntu do you have? [18:50] bekks>> What i dont understand is,if thers no rule in my.cnf how come phpmyadmin gets them??

[18:51] hey [18:52] hello [18:52] i ma new to the ubuntu chats [18:52] welcome [18:52] thanks [18:52] anternat: No. Default values are default values, because they arent defined in a config file, but the program itself sets them BECAUSE they arent defined elsewhere. [18:52] I love ubuntu [18:52] just installed it 64bits is so fast [18:52] :) [18:53] nice [18:53] i am getting used to all the apps [18:53] U find everything you need?

[18:54] any suggestions [18:54] any good programs [18:54] ok,will give it a try, still i dont get how come a value is default without having to exist in a config file in linux..

[19:04] lolz.. so i've never heard of this site. not too credible, I take it? [19:05] lungaro, both will be available to install from.. with ubuntu moving to touch devices a way to install similar to a firmware is needed, seems like a good idea imho [19:06] cool [19:06] lungaro: Personally, I just ignore that site for the incredibly FUD that was published there in the past. If that changed meanwhile, I still dont read that site. [19:06] lungaro, if ubuntu switches away from debs I will just use debian. [19:06] lungaro, see https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/ why its a good idea [19:06] the name is meh but the idea seems sound [19:06] Yeah, me too (i'd switch the second they drop .deb) [19:07] thanks bandit-led [19:07] lungaro, no problem i was reading about it this week and was like wait what.. [19:07] http://www.webupd8.org/2015/04/ubuntu-desktop-to-eventually-switch-to.html [19:07] regarding Snappy / .deb.

[19:21] just working on it 1 sec plz ^^ [19:21] Immediately before that, I see a couple of “error: /dev/sdb: No medium found”… [19:22] But I don’t know what sdb is on this pc… [19:22] optical drive most likely [19:23] yes, likely, so probably not related to the system not booting...

I have just tried to update from 14.10 to 15.04. whatever I tried, I end up with UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 337: invalid start byte [19:27] used do-release-upgrade. any ideea would be be appreciated. [19:27] I have limited room on my laptop and I'd like to have the option of booting a ubuntu install but I only have about 90gs free and I'm really not wanting to share that with ubuntu on this system. Plus everytime I've instealled ubuntu to dual boot with windows 8.1 it goes all crashy on me and I end up reformating the drive [19:28] Hi folks. Just upgraded to 15.04 (clean install) How do I get back to a 'normal' desktop? Never been a fan of Unity [19:30] install whatever de you want [19:30] Tinkerton: believe you have to install what ever normal desktop you where using, like gnome3 or KDE [19:30] Tinkerton: unity is the "normal" desktop now btw [19:30] malgorath: ahh, ok. thanks. [19:30] hey [19:30] Tinkerton: try gnome flashback [19:30] yeah or gnome3 [19:30] sadly ubuntu doesn't ship a plain gnome 3.16 :/ [19:30] I'm sure unity works great when you've got a touch screen, but for me it's just cumbersome [19:30] It works fine without a touchscreen, too. [19:31] If you're not a fan of Unity why not try lxde, xfce, mate or even cinnamon ? [19:31] Anyone here use cinnamon? [19:31] Tinkerton: np. I prefer xfde4 but I'm old fashion [19:31] Grimsley: just seen cinnamon. looks promising [19:31] Tinkerton: How do pools help you? :) [19:31] bekks: sorry, I don't understand? [19:31] is ubuntu 10.04 too old to use? [19:31] five years? [19:32] there's no official spin for cinnamon so a min. install + cinnamon should do the trick [19:32] ten releases? [19:32] I mean, will it cause problems with packages and become unusable [19:32] SaucisseCocktail, :) I guess it is PRETTY old haha [19:32] Tinkerton: "does anyone..." is a poll :) [19:32] !eol [19:32] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:33] oh no, that's right. security updates are necessary [19:33] I'll use something newer, thanks [19:33] but if you just need it for a while, it will do the job without any trouble (live cd use) [19:33] SOLIDPIZZA: Just use 14.04 [19:33] malgorath, consider xubuntu and a usb3.0 drive ... take a look here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [19:33] SaucisseCocktail, it's for my mom's ancient laptop [19:33] SOLIDPIZZA: thats the current LTS with support up to 2019. [19:33] I think I'll try xfce [19:33] xfce, mate or lxde would work fine on older hardware. === digifiv5e_ is now known as daynaskully [19:34] pavlos: thank you, I'll loke at that but I'm not wanting to install from a usb3 drive, I want to install to that drive and only run ubuntu from there without touching my laptops internal drives === daynaskully is now known as digifiv5e [19:34] anyone? if its of reference, i'm connecting via ssh [19:34] Any ideas where to go for osX support?

[19:39] malgorath, you can install from a usb to another usb. Nothing touches your laptop.

What display service is kubuntu supposed to use? Lightdm? [19:41] is it muted? [19:41] How can I remove kubuntu? I've purged it and removed it twice but it still loads into broken plasma and gives me the kubuntu splash screen [19:43] Goose_: try to reconfigure lightdm, or purge and reinstall lightdm [19:43] dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [19:44] Goose_, have you tried just running a live disk and reinstalling? or maybe using gparted to reformat with all zeros? [19:44] If most of my disk space is used up by /usr/share, that means that it's due to too much software and/or documentation installed, right? [19:45] I just dont want to have to reinstall just because I tried kubuntu. Like I put plasma 5 on here just to try it and it just wrecked my system [19:45] turned it on and have berely been able to use it since [19:45] Hi, i need a help, i use ubuntu gnome 15, and when i put my mouse in top left the windows show the activit, how i can turn of this shortcut? (sorry my enlish) [19:45] did you go into bios and remove that formated patition form the boot shedule? [19:46] No [19:46] I didn;t know it made a whole new partititon [19:46] Goose_: it doesn't [19:46] ok [19:47] this is just insane. All I get a black screen for no reason [19:47] I didn't change anything. [19:47] Goose_, maybe it doesnt have the ability to run with your graphics? [19:48] could someone tell me how to get sound back on my laptop? [19:48] idk, if i installed an os on a partitioned drive, i would just go into another os and remove that partition [19:48] Is there any equivalent of "aptitude search" using only apt-get ? [19:48] Is there any equivalent of "aptitude search" using only apt-get ? [19:49] I just image removing kubuntu, plasma, and sddm would leave me with unity and lightdm like before. But all I get is broken kubuntu session, even though it's suppsoed to be removed [19:49] deadmund_: apt-cache search... [19:49] deadmund, apt-cache search [19:50] is 60GB enjoy for ubuntu 15.04 for doing just app development? no large media files or anything of that nature. [19:50] er s/enjoy/enough/ [19:50] sorry Goose_ i dont know how to do that, i would just remove partition, delete, and reinstall with the os i want. good luck [19:50] deadmund_ you can also see what packages are installed with dpkg --get-selections [19:50] ejuan: thanks [19:51] UGH [19:51] That'd be the second time I'd have to do that because a dm destroted my system' [19:52] whats a dm?

[19:52] Just weird. How can kubuntu still load if it is removed? [19:52] the boot loader [19:52] display mananger [19:52] oh [19:52] like lightdm, sddm, et [19:52] Goose_: because you probably removed kubuntu-desktop which is a meta package, not all the *actual* packages that make up the kubuntu desktop. [19:52] Then how would I do that? [19:53] i had an issue with a linux boot loader, i just set a different drive to load on start up and hit f12 to choose which drive after each restart [19:53] if i shut down, the system goes to the chosen drive in the bios [19:53] Goose_: i have no answer for you but know the answer exists online [19:54] Hi everyone, I'm using ubuntu gnome 14 [19:55] Kiel182: Which 14?

Have you cleaned the machine lately ? [20:53] Bashing-om: the laptop is cleaned [20:54] Bashing-om: I've overheating when I done a bit of multitasking operations [20:54] Bashing-om: like some video on youtube, client email, some terminal opened [20:54] Bashing-om: for me are normal operations === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [20:59] k3asd`: I run a similar card .. and yes I do overheat ( desktop) to the point my system shuts down sometimes with graphically intensive operations. The better solution I think is to get a better graphics card . What I do now-a-days is non-critical, so shutting down is but a nuisanse . [21:04] Bashing-om: I think so but I can't not able to do that because this is a laptop [21:04] question [21:05] is there any irc channel that i can talk about hardware [21:05] ##hardware [21:05] thanks [21:06] k3asd`: Regret, but I am unable to advise further ... I have not paid a lot of attention to ACPI power management in laptops . [21:08] k3asd`: if you already disassembled and cleaned it out, perhaps you reduced the effectiveness of the thermal interface material (thermal paste) however that would be off topic here [21:08] k3asd`, this may be helpful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/PowerManagement/ThermalIssues [21:09] hey daftykins [21:09] when i join i cant say anything [21:09] perhaps you aren't registered and identified [21:09] ...

Have logged in several times. System always freezes a couple minutes after login. At that point, the mouse still moves fine, but you can not Ctrl+Esc or Alt+Tab. My googling hasn't come up with anything. some close ones, but not the same. Any ideas here? [21:22] Anyone know why kubuntu 15.04 is freaking out all of the time?? It's like the windows keep having seizures when I open and close them [21:22] #kubuntu might know [21:31] i upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 and now my mouse hertz is stuck at 125. The usbhid module still says the parameter is 2 so it shoudl be running at 500 hz [21:31] i'm lost. [21:32] pantato, Hz or DPI? [21:32] glaub!

[21:48] even after choosing different boot options [21:48] graceabel: you might want to boot a live session and see what's left, assuming this just happened to a working system [21:48] arulmagi none that use the skype protocol [21:49] any good viop for ubuntu? [21:49] daftykins: all i did was running apt-get dist-upgrade and then reboot === zaggynl_ is now known as zaggynl [21:50] daftykins: i got 4 boot options, selecting anyone of them results in same error message [21:51] two different kernels and their recovery options?

[21:52] Latest kernel is 14.04.2 LTS, kernel 3.13.0-49-generic [21:53] What is the proper way to reboot networking [21:53] so, are you typing from a live session? [21:53] joshh20: bringing interfaces down and up, or a full reboot [21:53] nith1210: yes "Busybox v1.21.1...." [21:53] (yes, seriously) [21:53] Why is it so backwards? [21:53] pass.

[21:56] i would like to know, the prompt "Security updates available" when we ssh into our servers at hosting provider.... are those updates message set by hosting provider? [21:57] sounds like the ubuntu MOTD [21:57] After a seemingly successful dist upgrade, I have booted into 14.10, rather than 15.04. [21:57] graceabel: I think your grub-update failed and/or the UUID's decided to change (should be impossible, have seen it on my own systems) and you need to do a grub recovery. [21:57] graceabel: or, you lost a hd [21:57] dist-upgrade does not upgrade distribution version [21:58] nith1210: i don't think i lost a hd [21:58] Oh. It was followed by "sudo do-release-upgrade -d". [21:58] It took several hours. [21:58] penthief: that's unwise to ever run. [21:58] were you on 14.04 to start with? [21:58] penthief: "lsb_release -d"? [21:58] I got the message immediate after rebooting from apt-get dist-upgrade [21:59] Description: Ubuntu 14.10 [21:59] penthief: and the -d switch is for development release. that is very unwise to use blindly. [21:59] graceabel: right, which is why I think the UUID's decided to change. [21:59] graceabel: Once it can't figure out where to boot to, it drops to busybox [21:59] penthief: what version is named in "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"? [22:00] utopic [22:00] penthief: then run a "sudo do-release-upgrade" [22:00] thanks [22:00] graceabel: And recovery from there gets complicated. I'm not sure if daftykins has a link or ubuntu magic to give you instructions on how to fix it or not... [22:00] penthief: so you started on a 14.04 [22:00] *ubottu [22:00] sounds right [22:00] nith1210: oh i see you're done helping and passing it back now? :) [22:01] nith1210: i'm wondering if this is part of my hosting provider's scope, I've contacted them but they only do a reboot for me [22:01] daftykins: My way of fixing this is messy and involves chroots from a liveUSB. I'm sure there's a more user friendly method - and you are one of the best helpers I've ever seen. [22:01] damn, if only i hadn't put Ethat -d switch in there. [22:02] penthief: what is now? [22:02] graceabel seemed to give up when i mentioned booting a live session so i don't know what you guys are up to. [22:02] daftykinds: i don't understand what is booting a live session [22:02] penthief: what gives you in the last line of "cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades"? [22:02] puttin a flash drive in and booting from it... but you made it sound like this is a VPS [22:02] *putting [22:03] daftykins: yes its a vps, physically server is miles away from me [22:03] Prompt=normal [22:03] penthief: ok. so the 14.10 to 15.04 upgrade should work [22:03] graceabel: then you will need to contact your provider. [22:03] Yes, thank you. [22:04] well, after i get around the "Not enough free disk space" ! [22:04] penthief: see "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" [22:05] time for an auto-remove ;) [22:05] daftykinds: ok [22:05] penthief: then remove old kernel packages that are still installed with "sudo apt-get remove ....." and then a "sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean" [22:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10890966/ [22:06] ok [22:07] penthief: uh, yes. all the 3.5 kernels can be uninstalled. [22:07] penthief: after that you can see what linux-headers are insatlled, too. and remove the old ones [22:08] ok, will remove the headers when this command completes. [22:09] "dpkg -l | grep linux-headers" will show what is still installed [22:10] does anyone here play dungeon fighter online? [22:12] is kvm/virt-manager working for anyone in 15.04?

It's a P55-USB3.0 machine with an ATI 5850 graphics card, i5 processor, and 12gb of memory. I'm trying to install it on my 120GB Samsung SSD. I created the installer using "Startup Disk Creator" on Ubuntu on my laptop successfully and I can't boot into the installer without specifying both vga=normal and nomodeset kernel flags. Near the very end of the ins [22:56] why does everyone want 15.04 [22:56] 14.10 is great [22:57] Because I want to try out systemd. === CyberDems is now known as fragtion [22:57] faultyjohn: that's a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic or a general discussion question - but the latest release is 15.04. [22:57] Hanz_Zimmer: your irc client is silly and didn't split your message, nor warn you, so you got cut off at "Near the very end of the ins" [22:57] faultyjohn: many people want the 'newest' stuff. (I personally use 14.04, but have VMs for 14.10 and 15.04, as a packager/bug triager/developer) [22:57] Sorry, using pidgin. Here's the rest: I get the following error: "Apt configuration problem. An attempt to configure apt to install additional packages from the CD failed” After choosing to continue, and my computer reboots, I'm greeted with Grub Rescue and the following error: "error: file '/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found" [22:57] faultyjohn: because 15.04 is 1. better 2. lts [22:57] So I tried to boot off a live disc and reinstall Grub2 but after successfully installing grub2, and rebooting, just a grub prompt appears with no boot options. [22:58] hola [22:58] Mion: 15.04 is not LTS [22:58] ayuda [22:58] faultyjohn: support for 14.10 droppes in 3 months. so be prepared [22:58] ok sorry [22:58] hmm tought it was [22:58] Mion: 14.04 is LTS, 16.04 is the next LTS [22:58] i will be [22:58] Mion: 15.04 is not LTS. [22:58] Mion: LTS is every 2 years, with a 5 year support cycle for those. 15.04 is NOT LTS. [22:58] Any ideas why this is happening though? [22:59] alguien?

[23:26] k1l:darthanubis, thanks fellas [23:26] !pastebinit | RNeville [23:26] RNeville: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:28] thx bot ubottu [23:28] cem_, use str.find() [23:29] How do I install with LVM alongside Windows? [23:32] i don't think LVM is for you [23:33] daftykins: I need full disk encryption on a dual boot machine. Would you therefore say putting a second drive in it would be a better idea? [23:33] yes [23:33] daftykins: Full disk enc for the Linux only [23:33] partial disk encryption ;) [23:34] daftykins: What if it was a laptop with only a single drive? [23:34] well i kinda laugh at encryption in general so, i'm not the best to ask [23:35] what partition table should I use for LVM disks that are 3tb? [23:36] k1l http://paste.ubuntu.com/10891656/ [23:36] With 2 drives I could just use the installer. With a single drive I'd have to setup the lvm manually and it looks to be a pain. -Lots- of docs! [23:37] RNeville: :/ [23:37] ? [23:37] RNeville: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image | pastebinit [23:37] RNeville: dont use dpkg to remove. [23:46] hello [23:46] hello === joao is now known as Mete- === norm is now known as Guest79459 [23:47] i have put a Live Ubuntu 15.04 on a USB stick today [23:48] i used UUI to make this baby [23:48] UUI works fine in my experience === len is now known as Guest70241 [23:49] i chose to have a 4 GB permanent file [23:50] so that whenever i restart the live session, I don't lose the settings, my custom desktop wallpaper and so on [23:51] then i did something that totally broke my live session [23:52] i installed proprietary drivers for intel.microcode (or something like that) [23:53] i restarted my live session and now when i choose "Try Ubuntu without installing" I get a kernel panic text all over my screen and am doomed [23:53] oh persistence. [23:54] attempting to install anything else for intel graphics is a colossal waste of time [23:54] yes, persistence file, not permanent [23:55] can you like help me to get back to the live session but without the use of the proprietary drivers? [23:55] like in a secure mode of a sort [23:56] try pressing 'e' to edit the 'try ubuntu' then change 'quiet splash' for 'text' , then once it boots up purge whatever packages you installed / undo whatever command you ran [23:56] anyone? [23:57] Tinkerer: i replied. [23:57] i don't know what was the package name for the proprietary driver i installed [23:58] i installed it via the GUI [23:58] you could just wipe your drive and start again [23:59] <\\Mr_C\\> http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.0.0/
