[00:00] <acz32> daniel31: many would argue HDDs are much more secure than SSDs, if you care
[00:00] <daftykins> sounds like a dubious claim to me
[00:01] <acz32> daftykins: what is known is that securely erasing SSDs isn't trivial like it is with HDD
[00:02] <daftykins> that is not the same as your first statement
[00:02] <daftykins> also, i bet you'd have the same troubles trying to secure erase both types
[00:02] <acz32> daniel31: you should copy your home directory so you can move it onto the SSD
[00:02] <bazhang> this sounds like a good discussion for the offtopic channel
[00:02] <daftykins> except that i am both going to bed and not going to join that, so there's no need to tell regulars the rules :)
[00:02] <EriC^^> daniel31: you should copy the files unencrypted from your home dir to a backup location, along with the list of manually installed packages
[00:03] <SchrodingersScat> I heard it's harder to recover from an SSD, sounds like a security plus.  daniel31 I would start with a backup, I'm running mine now, I'm in a similar position.
[00:03] <petrvs> I heard ssds cause cancer
[00:03] <acz32> daftykins: erasing an HDD is easy, you just have to wait a long time
[00:03] <petrvs> but in reality they just give you faster access
[00:03] <petrvs> acz32: not that long
[00:03] <daftykins> acz32: please take note of the off topic warning.
[00:03] <aaanderse> i see a package called totem-mozilla in utopic and previous releases, this package doesn't exist in vivid... where is the best place to ask why it doesn't exist anymore? "ubuntu developers" are lested as the maintainer
[00:03] <acz32> petrvs: depends on the size of the disk, of course
[00:03] <daftykins> also, i cannot continue this conversation as i am leaving :)
[00:04] <acz32> daftykins: bye
[00:08] <daniel31> I see. Thanks for the input guys. Is there no easy way to access the encrypted files if I know the password then? Why not just boot back into the HDD (connected over USB) and copy the files to the SSD after the new distro is installed?
[00:08] <petrvs> acz32: well, the larger the disk, likely the more ram & proc powe you have, and consequently the faster the wipe, too
[00:09] <petrvs> not necessarily, though, of course
[00:09] <petrvs> but mostly, there is rarely a reason to wipe a disk
[00:09] <daniel31> As it happens, I need the SSD for speed (I am a photography and a software developer). The encryption is nice against the threats I face, but it's hardly a life-or-death situation. :-)
[00:10] <petrvs> usually the case =)
[00:10] <petrvs> I missed the beginning of your issue, though
[00:14] <acz32> daniel31: like we said, just back up /home and copy it onto the SSD after you re-install the OS
[00:14] <daniel31> thanks guys :-)
[00:16] <acz32> daniel31: so you are creating /home on the SSD?
[00:16] <acz32> is it that big. i think most people put /root on there and /home on a HDD
[00:17] <daniel31> well its 256gb. I intend to have the entire OS on it since its my laptop I cant really have two. the old HDD will be retired into a backup medium and media/large file storage over usb.
[00:18] <acz32> 256GB. nice
[00:18] <daniel31> I really want to be able to mount my old encrypted home temporarily in my new install. not sure if thats possible tho.
[00:18] <acz32> daniel31: yes, it is. some file managers even handle that if you click on an encrypted volume
[00:19] <daniel31> thats good to know acz32. no need to backup the encrypted key or some thing like that then? all I need is my user password?
=== q-bert is now known as hubert-
=== DarkDevil is now known as darkdevil
[00:20] <acz32> daniel31: if you're ok mounting from commandline if your file manager doesn't pop up a nice GUI dialog, then sure
[00:21] <voidDotClass> My dock is really annoying, i've set it to auto hide and show when i move mouse to left, sensitivity at max, but i still have to move my mouse at least 3-4 times before it finally shows
[00:21] <voidDotClass> is there a trick i'm missing, or can i use a keyboard shortcut for showing it
[00:23] <daniel31> thanks acz32. thats all I need to know I think. off to bed now. bye guys!
[00:25] <penos> hello
[00:26] <petrvs> 'lo
[00:37] <zykotick9> daniel31: ymmv, but i'd strongly suggest using LUKS over "home directory encryption"

[01:01] <kazdax> Hi i like to install Ubuntu .. I have windows installed and i want to install vai the network
[01:01] <petrvs> kazdax: why via the network
[01:01] <kazdax> what are the steps i should take to install ubuntu over the network and i dont have a parition already ..so i need to make a partition
[01:02] <petrvs> mmm, making a partition _can_ be tedious
[01:02] <petrvs> it _can_ also be not 100% safe
[01:02] <petrvs> it's infinitely simpler to buy another disk, if you can afford it
[01:02] <petrvs> you'll need the extra storage eventually anyway
[01:02] <kazdax> Its a laptop
[01:02] <petrvs> how tedious =)
[01:02] <kazdax> and i installed my windows right now with a netork
[01:02] <kazdax> network
[01:02] <petrvs> well, to properly resize partitions with Windows preinstalled
[01:02] <kazdax> so i was not able to make partitions
[01:02] <petrvs> you really need to make sure the filesystems are defragmented
[01:03] <petrvs> and then resize
[01:03] <petrvs> and then fsck
[01:03] <petrvs> and then proceed with Ubuntu installation
[01:03] <penos> fsck?
[01:03] <petrvs> and before all that you should make a backup of anything you can't live without
[01:03] <petrvs> fsck, FS check
[01:03] <penos> fsck=fuck?
[01:03] <petrvs> penos: almost =)
[01:03] <penos> oh....
[01:03] <petrvs> Unix hackers of yore didn't like typing
[01:03] <petrvs> plus they _did_ like commands and names that resembled naughty words
[01:04] <kazdax> can i do this all without a DVD
[01:04] <kazdax> use like a USB drive
[01:04] <kazdax> to repartition the disk
[01:05] <petrvs> kazdax: you can, yes
[01:05] <kazdax> and the ubuntu install over a netowrk ..do i mount the DVD and then share the drive
[01:05] <Ben64> kazdax: you can install ubuntu from a usb disk
[01:05] <petrvs> you can install over the network, too
[01:05] <petrvs> but you need to figure out the partitioning/resizing first
[01:05] <kazdax> network is faster
[01:05] <Ben64> network is not faster
[01:05] <petrvs> network is faster if you already know how to do it
[01:05] <petrvs> but you don't =)
[01:05] <kazdax> well for windows..i just shared the ISO over a netowrk
[01:05] <kazdax> and executed it from the network
[01:06] <kazdax> and it just did everything else ..i assume ubuntu does the same
[01:06] <kazdax> so defragment the hardisk and then use fsck ?
[01:06] <kazdax> I dont want to use windows anymore ..it gives me so many problems
[01:07] <Ben64> kazdax: write the ubuntu iso to a usb drive, boot it, install, done
[01:07] <kazdax> I rather use ubuntu
[01:07] <kazdax> Ben64 yes i will do USB
[01:07] <kazdax> but i need to repartition the disk
[01:07] <kazdax> so i can install it
[01:08] <Ben64> kazdax: the installer does that
[01:08] <kazdax> ohh ?
[01:08] <kazdax> so all i need is an ubuntu ISO and i can resize it within ?
[01:08] <Ben64> yep
[01:08] <kazdax> is the rezise thing hard to do ?
[01:09] <Ben64> nope
[01:09] <kazdax> it comes up when it ask whatt partition i was to install it on
[01:09] <kazdax> ?
[01:09] <kazdax> so it has an option that says resize
[01:09] <Ben64> it gives you a few options, try it and see
[01:09] <kazdax> i am asking because when i start doing it ..i dont have another computer to chat online and ask questions
[01:10] <kazdax> okay one more question .. The network install isnt as easy as mounting the ISO and sharing it and then executing setup from the computer ?
[01:10] <kazdax> just wondering if i can do a network insall ..if not ill be doing USB
[01:10] <kazdax> one more question ..how to get ubuntu on the USB drive ?
[01:11] <Ben64> !usb | kazdax
[01:11] <ubottu> kazdax: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[01:11] <kazdax> thanks man
[01:11] <kazdax> okay one more question ..does anyone of you use netflix on ubuntu ?
[01:12] <kazdax> i think silverlight is microsoft windows only
[01:12] <bazhang> !netflix
[01:12] <ubottu> If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop
[01:12] <kazdax> cool
[01:13] <petrvs> netflix actually supports so-called "HTML5" video now
[01:13] <petrvs> you mostly just need a recent browser version
[01:13] <xangua> you need google chrome
[01:13] <petrvs> simpler with chrome, yeah
[01:13] <xangua> that ships with drm  ;) not just any browsers
[01:13] <petrvs> that is the magic of the word mostly =)
[01:14] <kazdax> okay what about after installing ubuntu ..will my ethernet work and wireless or do i need drivers for that ?
[01:14] <kazdax> nevermind .. i think people have tried installing on this machine and it worked for hem
[01:15] <kazdax> them
[01:15] <kazdax> I will start using ubuntu for everything
[01:15] <kazdax> I dont play window games anyways
[01:15] <kazdax> I usually use it for reading PDF , watching netflix and listening to music
[01:15] <kazdax> so i think ubuntu can do all that without much hassle
[01:15] <petrvs> kazdax: ten'll get you twenty it'll all just work
[01:15] <petrvs> if it doesn't, you can fix it
[01:16] <petrvs> yeah it can do all that
[01:16] <petrvs> it can even let you play most win32 games
[01:16] <kazdax> okay ...what if i wanted to access windows paritition from ubuntu ?
[01:16] <kazdax> for example my C drive ..when i am in ubuntu
[01:16] <kazdax> can i save and read from that drive ?
[01:17] <kazdax> even if it is NTFS
[01:17] <petrvs> kazdax: yup
[01:17] <kazdax> because i want to give my ubuntu ..half of the drive .. and if my ubuntu gets filled up use my windows Drive as a backup
[01:17] <kazdax> cool
[01:17] <petrvs> you can also do the reverse, if you want
[01:18] <kazdax> okay cool
[01:18] <kazdax> there used to be a time when this was not possible
[01:18] <petrvs> mmmm
[01:18] <petrvs> yeah I guess
[01:18] <petrvs> maybe 15 years ago =)
[01:19] <petrvs> things to progress, however slowly =)
[01:22] <kazdax> okay whats step 3 persistence .. the value i need to add there
[01:22] <kazdax> there is nothing about it on the ubuntu site you guys gave me
[01:22] <kazdax> its USB creator
[01:24] <kazdax> is persistence meaning how much space the ISO is
[01:24] <kazdax> because its right now at zero and says live mode only
[01:24] <Ben64> kazdax: no, its so changes you do to the live system will remain
[01:24] <petrvs> kazdax: you don't need persistence
[01:24] <kazdax> ahh i see
[01:25] <kazdax> my USB is much slower than my netowrk
[01:25] <kazdax> netowrk
[01:25] <kazdax> network
[01:26] <kazdax> The usb goes at 6 mb per secound ...my netowrk does 40 mb per secound
[01:26] <Ben64> it would be done already if you just used the usb already
[01:26] <petrvs> pretty sure there are more steps for a network install
[01:27] <petrvs> _after_ you understand them
[01:27]  * petrvs shrugs
[01:27] <kazdax> i think with network install..i wont be able to repartition as on a usb wih the inbuilt ubuntu tools
[01:27] <petrvs> dunno about that, but I do think it'd take longer
[01:27] <kazdax> my USB could be messed up
[01:28] <petrvs> could be
[01:28] <petrvs> probably isn't
[01:28] <kazdax> 6 mb secound ?
[01:28] <kazdax> its to slow
[01:28] <kazdax> isnt it ?
[01:28] <Ben64> no
[01:29] <kazdax> i see
[01:33] <kazdax> okay i am going ahead and installing ubuntu ..i will come back using it for irc
[01:33] <kazdax> thanks alot guys .if any problems ill get back to you guys
[01:35] <petrvs> hokay

[01:49] <xxtjaxx> Hi! I installed Ubuntu 14.04 but the ati driver packages appear to be broken. They are not installable and the binary drivers require inexistant packages. Any help? Has anyone had that issue?
[01:50] <xxtjaxx> Fglrx is technically uninstallable right now.
[01:50] <xangua> xxtjaxx: did you run apt-get update ?
[01:50] <xangua> if you have an error message might be wise to share it too
[01:51] <xxtjaxx> several times I believe by now.
[01:51] <xxtjaxx> sure give me a second.
[01:52] <EriC^^> xorg-api-15 thingy?
[01:52] <EriC^^> somebody had that issue earlier
[01:52] <xxtjaxx> http://paste.debian.net/169775/ there ya gp
[01:52] <EriC^^> xorg-video-abi-*
[01:52] <xxtjaxx> *go
[01:53] <EriC^^> yup
[01:53] <xxtjaxx> yup
[01:53] <xxtjaxx> suggested fix?
[01:53] <EriC^^> i recall telling him to install 2 packages
[01:53] <kk0710> hey guys, I was having some serious problems with my realtek wireless adapter and was told to try running newere kernels, has a nyone run 4.1.0-040100rc1-generic
[01:53] <EriC^^> the latter being abi-15 which pulled in something else, the first i can't recall
[01:54] <xxtjaxx> can you press up a couple times and find it?
[01:54] <EriC^^> xxtjaxx: it was about 2 weeks ago
[01:54] <xxtjaxx> oh and I guess you don
[01:54] <xxtjaxx> 't have a ssh shell with screen and irssi huh?
[01:54] <EriC^^> nope
[01:54] <xxtjaxx> ay caramba...
[01:55] <EriC^^> hold on
[01:55] <xxtjaxx> E: Package 'xorg-video-abi-14' has no installation candidat  .... dangit
[01:56] <EriC^^> xxtjaxx: i think this was it sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
[01:59] <xxtjaxx> http://paste.debian.net/169783/
[01:59] <xxtjaxx> nope
[01:59] <EriC^^> ok i think it had to do with libcheese
[01:59] <xxtjaxx> delete it?
[02:00] <EriC^^> yes try sudo apt-get purge libcheese*
[02:04] <karan> hey
=== karan is now known as kazdax
[02:04] <EriC^^> any luck xxtjaxx ?
[02:04] <petrvs> heyo
[02:04] <kazdax> i got it installed
[02:04] <kazdax> right now trying to install flash layer
[02:05] <kazdax> says Adobe-flashplugin not gound in the ubuntu software center
[02:05] <kazdax> using adobes website to install
[02:05] <EriC^^> kazdax: you have to enable the multiverse repository
[02:05] <kazdax> how do i do that ?
[02:06] <EriC^^> open the dash > software & updates
[02:06] <kazdax> okay
[02:07] <kazdax> now what do i do?
[02:09] <kazdax> EriC^^,
[02:10] <xxtjaxx> EriC^^: Yup installed and uninstalled $stuff..
[02:11] <xxtjaxx> I'm installing xorg-core now then abi14 then fglrx?
[02:12] <kazdax> the multi verse is already selected
[02:12] <kazdax> but i still cant install flash player...someone said i should use google chrome and that chrome comes with it
=== PirateP|away is now known as PirateP
[02:13] <petrvs> for netflix, you can use chrome if you want
[02:13] <xxtjaxx> update/refresh first. It has to fetch the index of the multiverse before it can give it to you
[02:13] <petrvs> that is the path of least resistance
[02:13] <xxtjaxx> Oh they enabled <video>?
[02:13] <kazdax> even for other flash things ?
[02:13] <petrvs> xxtjaxx: something like that
[02:13] <kazdax> i want to do speed test ..so i need flash for it
[02:13] <petrvs> kazdax: yes, actually
[02:13] <xxtjaxx> kazdax: no.
[02:13] <petrvs> chrome is actually also the path of least resistance for flash
[02:13] <xxtjaxx> Not necessairly.
[02:13] <petrvs> not my favorite browser, though
[02:13] <petrvs> different issue =)
[02:14] <kazdax> how do i get flash for firefox ?
[02:14] <xxtjaxx> I like it(developer over here...)
[02:14] <kazdax> also should i update the site to the repository for softwares ?
[02:14] <xxtjaxx> man have I not done FOSS Desktop support in a while...
[02:14] <kazdax> i heard doing that .. increases speed for downloads of software
[02:14] <xxtjaxx> bs
[02:15] <kazdax> well previously when i downloaded ubuntu and installed it
[02:15] <kazdax> the downloads from the software center were very slow
[02:15] <kazdax> so some guy said ..upload the repository links and it worked
[02:15] <kazdax> but its working great right now tho
[02:16] <kazdax> so no way to get flash for firefox
[02:16] <kazdax> and its taking time to install chrome ..is that normal ?
[02:16] <xangua> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer kazdax
[02:17] <petrvs> xxtjaxx: developer of what? :p
[02:17] <xangua> to install the flashplugin in firefox, you could also install ubuntu-restricted-extras to Also install flash, codecs, fonts
[02:17] <kazdax> okay it says locked
[02:17] <kazdax> i am using the ubuntu software installer right now
[02:18] <EriC^^> kazdax: close the software & updates tab
[02:18] <EriC^^> oh
[02:18] <kazdax> its working
[02:19] <Yuken> Can't access any websites right now besides the ubuntu repos and freenode, for some reason. What packages would I need to install to run Java, and Web-Java programs?
[02:19] <xxtjaxx> petrvs: Various things on web pages
[02:20] <petrvs> xxtjaxx: doesn't quite has the same ring as ", esq." =)
[02:20] <petrvs> Yuken: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[02:20] <petrvs> 'browser plugin', etc.
[02:20] <kazdax> did speed test on the internet
[02:20] <petrvs> kazdax: neat
[02:20] <kazdax> my internet is slower on ubuntu
[02:21] <Yuken> petrvs: Thank you.
[02:21] <petrvs> kazdax: nah
[02:21] <kazdax> actually ...the upload is better
[02:21] <kazdax> but download is much less
[02:21] <petrvs> kazdax: nah
[02:21] <petrvs> you can't really accurately gauge speed from speedtest.net anyway
[02:21] <kazdax> yea but there is a huge difference
[02:21] <petrvs> you need an enduring download
[02:21] <petrvs> nah
[02:22] <kazdax> okay ill try downloading a torrent with alot of seeds..and see if it reaches 7 mbs
[02:22] <kazdax> if it does then the speed test failed else its slower for some reason
[02:23] <petrvs> kazdax: you're already installed?
[02:23] <kazdax> yes
[02:23] <kazdax> I am on the ubuntu right now
[02:24] <codepython777> is anyone using ubuntu on macbook here?
[02:24] <notaeon> have done
[02:25] <notaeon> codepython777: so what's your actual question?
[02:26] <kazdax> so the speed test could be less on the ubuntu but if i did a torrent download..it should show u the same seed ?
[02:26] <petrvs> kazdax: probably trivially less unreliable a test, sue
[02:26] <petrvs> sure*
[02:26] <kazdax> I am on the torrent itd doing ..3.4
[02:27] <codepython777> notaeon: Do you have any pointer for an ubuntu image that i can burn on my ssd drive and boot from it externally on my mac?
[02:27] <petrvs> from usb?
[02:27] <notaeon> codepython777: you want to use a ssd as a bootable install medium? never tried that before
[02:28] <kazdax> okay i reached 6.5
[02:28] <codepython777> notaeon: yes, preferably using thunderbolt. Does anyone know if that works on a mac?
[02:28] <kazdax> i guess you were riht
[02:28] <kazdax> right
[02:29] <Slowboat> good luck booting ubuntu from an external drive for mac. you're better off burning to a DVD
[02:29] <notaeon> codepython777: no idea, but usually there are different key combos at boot to loadf from usb/firewire/network etc

[02:56] <mcc> Hi... I this morning told my Ubuntu 10.04 VPS (I would like to upgrade to another distro next...) to apt-get upgrade. A few minutes later, something happened, I don't know what, and services weren't running anymore. When I did apt-get upgrade again, I get: "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem". When I type that, I get "read-only file system".
[02:56] <mcc> The filesystem is indeed mounted read only. I do not know what to make of this.
[02:56] <Ben64> mcc: sounds like a filesystem error, or hard drive error, or both
[02:57] <mcc> Hard drive error would be unusual because I am on a rackspace VM. Or whoever owns them now.
[02:57] <mcc> if it is a fs error should I do something with fsck?
[02:58] <Ben64> mcc: should look at logs first
[02:59] <mcc> /var/log/syslog?
[02:59] <Ben64> all of the logs

[03:28] <kk0710> guys I upgraded to the newest kernel but it didn't solve my problems so I wanted to go back, how do I remove it?
[03:30] <XenophonF> i all - i'm trying to install ubuntu 15.04 on my macbookpro5,1, with root on a luks-encrypted ZFS volume
[03:30] <XenophonF> yes, baroque, i realize
[03:30] <XenophonF> here's what i've done so far - https://gist.github.com/xenophonf/5fdaac7e31f1903253c1
[03:30] <XenophonF> i'm done with the install, but i'm not sure i have grub or initrd set up right
[03:31] <XenophonF> update-initramfs doesn't seem to do anything, and now that i'm looking around on the file system, i can't seem to find the linux kernel
[03:31] <XenophonF> i see the kernel headers and whatnot
[03:31] <XenophonF> so i feel like i've missed a step

[03:32] <ryan_461> kk0710: I don't know exactly how to do it but I imagine you have to boot an older kernel and then you can remove it with synaptic. People here know how to do it.
[03:33] <XenophonF> ah, it's called linux-image
[03:34] <XenophonF> so do i install linux-signed-generic to get all of the kernel packages installed?
[03:36] <XenophonF> or do i need both linux-signed-generic and linux-image-generic?
[03:36] <XenophonF> or some other combo?

[03:41] <XenophonF> RedPenguin: i've had nouveau crash on me, where it shows two red/blue-speckled bars in the upper right
[03:41] <XenophonF> switching to the nvidia driver fixed it for me
[03:41] <XenophonF> had to disable kms in order to boot, before i could install the nvidia driver
[03:41] <XenophonF> that's the "nomodeset" kernel command line option

[07:55] <funky2> hi there, got a question i have 2 ssd's A) is 80GB (sda) and has a swap partition and a root parition wih my OS which i try to clone onto B) 120GB (sdb) and is empty but everytime i use 'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb' I end up with errors on sdb bad superblock what am i doing wrong?
[07:55] <lotuspsychje> funky2: maybe try clonezilla?
[07:55] <cogitation> I uninstalled and reinstalled steam and it still won't run.
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: YOU GOT AN ERROR ON STEAM?
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> oops
[07:56] <funky2> lotuspsychje: but this should work too besides isn't clonezilla using dd?
[07:56] <cogitation> still getting error messages:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10936766/
[07:56] <lotuspsychje> funky2: not sure, bad blocks on ssd
[07:57] <rydzykje> hey guys, I have problem with my script. I want to install mysql from deb package. Im using debconf to configure root password but I cant uderstand why until i press two times "ENTER" script is waiting without any promt even . http://pastebin.com/Xrw4V6jV
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: can you check sudo lshw -C video behind driver=
[07:57] <lotuspsychje> !clone | funky2
[07:57] <ubottu> funky2: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate

[07:59] <cogitation> Is that the syntax I need to use, lotuspsychje?
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: yeah i wanna know if your grafix card driver is loaded
[07:59] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: sudo lshw -C video
[08:00] <cogitation> lotuspsychje:  when I run that command, it's not giving me output.
[08:01] <cogitation> it's telling me I didn't use proper syntax.
[08:01] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: sudo lshw -C video in terminal should work

[08:03] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: tnx, seems fine driver loaded
[08:03] <cogitation> thanks for your help... what do you think?
[08:03] <cogitation> what should I try next?
[08:03] <cogitation> I did steam --reset, then just uninstalled and reinstalled
[08:03] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: i found a thread of a guy removing that lib file, read last reply on the page: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183659
[08:04] <funky2> thx lotuspsychje but that does not help though i booted into a live cd of gparted and use DD from there, I got this working before but for some reason i get this superblock error every time now, i tried with all kind of different bs sizes in dd but still, also ran e2fsck check on disks and they are fine
[08:04] <cogitation> ah, thanks lotus.  will give it a shot
[08:05] <lotuspsychje> funky2: brands of the ssd's?
[08:05] <mshadle> i just upgraded my server to vivid, and now i get "Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused"
[08:06] <lotuspsychje> mshadle: vivid uses now systemd instead of upstart
[08:06] <mshadle> yeah i know. but apparently standard/existing scripts didn't work
[08:07] <mshadle> like, ssh started, but now i can't restart the service. how did it start on boot? :
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> mshadle: maybe download a systemd service manager to get a better look on it? like jobs-admin
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> !info jobs-admin
[08:09] <ubottu> jobs-admin (source: jobs-admin): system job management utility. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.0-0ubuntu4 (utopic), package size 14 kB, installed size 137 kB
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> mshadle: or pstree on terminal
[08:10] <mshadle> whoa looks like jobs-admin wants x11/UI
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> mshadle: oh right your on cli right
[08:10] <lotuspsychje> my bad
[08:10] <mshadle> yeah.
[08:10] <mshadle> but it still doesn't fix the issue where this upgrade just.. broke t hings.
[08:10] <mshadle> php5-fpm uses upstart
[08:11] <lotuspsychje> mshadle: maybe things got messed up on upgrade
[08:11] <mshadle> yeah actually.
[08:13] <mshadle> ok that's making more sense.
[08:13] <funky2> lotuspsychje: intel and ocz(larger one)
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> funky2: did you firmware your OCZ?
[08:14] <lotuspsychje> funky2: some OCZ would need a firmware upgrade before installing an Os
[08:15] <lotuspsychje> funky2: i would also reccomend you a fresh install on your OCZ after the firmware upgrade, not dd
[08:16] <cogitation> lotuspsychje:  having trouble locating those files in the steam directory at all
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: can you try whereis filename from termial perhaps
[08:17] <cogitation> doing a search for r600_dri in all files produces no results.
[08:17] <cogitation> Very new to Linux.  Didn't know whereis command.  Will do.
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: also doublecheck your additional drivers section, if more driver show up your list
[08:17] <cogitation> don
[08:17] <cogitation> don't know what you mean by additional drivers section
[08:17] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: its weird steam complaints about the driver module
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: ubuntu start button/hardware icon
[08:18] <cogitation> where james@james-MainPC:~$ r600_dri:
[08:18] <cogitation> r600_dri:: command not found
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: dont remove that one right, thats your driver
[08:19] <cogitation> I'm actually not using a proprietary driver.  in "Additional Drivers"
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: how many drivers show?
[08:19] <cogitation> Hunh.  Just one.  One I haven't seen before...
[08:19] <lotuspsychje> ok
[08:20] <lotuspsychje> but is it enabled?
[08:20] <cogitation> "Using Processor micronode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (properitary)
[08:20] <cogitation> Not enabled.
[08:20] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: can you try enable
[08:20] <cogitation> sure
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: then after it loaded, reboot and try steam again
[08:21] <cogitation> didn't mention a reboot.  do I have to?
[08:21] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: if the module loading is done yes
[08:22] <brucelee> running into an issue where root partition exists in /etc/fstab but somehow isn't in /etc/mtab... which means commands like 'df' doesn't show root partition
[08:22] <cogitation> lotus, how can I look for "r600_dri.so" anywhere on my Linux partition?
[08:22] <brucelee> this only exists in ubuntu 12, not ubuntu 14 though
[08:22] <brucelee> using lvm also gets rid of this problem it seems
[08:23] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: you dont need that file mate, thats your actual driver module
[08:23] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: try a reboot first and steam test
[08:23] <cogitation> Okay.  I will do so.
[08:28] <bojan> When i am trying to update my chroot i got this following error "http://paste.ubuntu.com/10937082/"
[08:30] <cogitation> lotus, are you there?
[08:30] <cogitation> lotuspsychje: are you there?
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: yes, anymore luck?
[08:30] <cogitation> Nope, I'm afraid not.
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> hmm
[08:30] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: did you fresh install vivid or upgrade?
[08:31] <cogitation> upgrade.
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: did steam work on previous version?
[08:31] <cogitation> Yep.
[08:31] <Folatt> My problem -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2275897
[08:31] <cogitation> 14.10 worked fine.
[08:31] <cogitation> actually, I had 14.04, then upgraded to 14.10 then to 15.04
[08:31] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: i would try a fresh install mate
[08:32] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: 14.04 or 15.04 fresh with internet+updates enabled during setup
[08:32] <cogitation> whew.  Yeah.  That's a pretty huge attempt to fix this.
[08:32] <bojan> Folatt:Is your system drops into shell mode??
[08:32] <cogitation> huge job, I mean... like the nuclear bomb of problem fixing.
[08:33] <Folatt> bojan, yes.
[08:33] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: well im not sure howto fix otherwise at this moment, maybe someone else might?
[08:33] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: you can re-ask once in a while here
[08:33] <cogitation> Thanks for trying to help, though.
[08:33] <bojan> Folatt:When did you update your ubuntu last??
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: but if 14.04 and 14.10 runned steam flawless, i would suspect and upgrade issue
[08:34] <lotuspsychje> an
[08:34] <cogitation> can't argue with your logic.
[08:35] <Folatt> It's a new SSD, so it was empty when I started installing ubuntu on it, I upgraded it to 15.04.
[08:35] <bojan> Folatt:Go to the grub menu when system boots up you will find an option :Previous linux version"select any image from that and your computer boots perfect definitely
[08:35] <cogitation> is there something like a repair installation, to keep all settings but reinstall stuff like that?
[08:35] <Folatt> bojan, there is no grub menu. it immediately drops into shell mode.
[08:36] <Folatt> Perhaps I should accompany it with a video then.
[08:36] <brucelee> df doesnt show my root partition

[08:37] <brucelee> root partition is declared in fstab using LABEL=blahblah ....
[08:37] <brucelee> somehow it doesnt show up in /etc/mtab
[08:37] <bojan> Folatt:No it wont...Try pressing ESC key continuously when the system turns on till it will drop to grub menu

[08:43] <lotuspsychje> cogitation: no, i was getting coffee :p
[08:43] <trijntje> quix: what exactly is the problem? Do you have a problem with internet or firefox sync?
[08:43] <cogitation> Oh, okay.  Well, thanks.
[08:43] <lotuspsychje> out now bbl
[08:43] <quix> trijntje, if you read my message, you will see that more then one service is being affected on Ubuntu....
[08:44] <quix> so I think the problem is in how my Internet is configured on Ubuntu
[08:44] <trijntje> quix: no, if that were the case nothing would work, not just 2 things
[08:44] <quix> but the thing is, I didn't change anything. Some sites just won't load properly at all...
[08:44] <hateball> quix: are you using IPv6 ?
[08:45] <hateball> Some faulty ipv6 configs can cause trouble
[08:45] <quix> trijntje, yea. whatever.
[08:45] <quix> there are more services being affect. you didn't read my message
[08:45] <quix> hateball, I am yes
[08:45] <Folatt> bojan, hang on a sec, I have two different...
[08:45] <quix> but i tried ignoring ipv6, to no avail
[08:46] <hateball> quix: how did you ignore it? using sysctl?
[08:46] <Folatt> two different boots ending up with the same issue.
[08:46] <quix> using the network gui
[08:46] <hateball> quix: you could try this "sudo sysctl -w net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6=1"
[08:46] <hateball> that will disable it for until you reboot
[08:47] <hateball> You may need to restart the applications so they re-bind
[08:48] <hateball> quix: Anyhow, that's just a way to diagnose the issue. If you actually need to use IPv6 then that issue should be fixed
[08:48] <rydzykje> Some1 here who can help me preconfigure deb package (mysql installation from deb) ?
[08:49] <Folatt> bojan, okay I'm gonna reboot again and make a video again.

[08:56] <Folatt> bojan, know any good place where I can upload video?

[09:36] <AlexisBRENON> Hi all. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I'm not able to do any admin task in a graphical way (software center, shutdown, user & groups system settings). Nevertheless, I can use 'sudo' in CLI. Have you got any idea to how to fix this ?
[09:37] <centrix> k1l_: Ok. Simpleir ... I can switch to root, but have no physical access to the machine nor an influence on the officials to allow me an internet hookup. Nor have I the permission to upgrade ... etc. So, is it possible or not?
[09:38] <cage_raphel> AlexisBRENON,  pls use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao .. then .. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install power-commands
[09:38] <Seveas> centrix: you can download the packages on another machine and transfer them manually. But don't count on support here for obsolete, unsupported releases.
[09:40] <centrix> Seveas: Good! Any link to such packages (as there may be dependencies)?
[09:42] <Seveas> centrix: as I said, don't count on support :)

[09:43] <centrix> Seveas: 1 2 3 4 5 ... support's gone. Ok. Now the pieces of advice :)
[09:43] <AlexisBRENON> cage_raphel, My problem is not only related to power management, but to any task which require root rights (mounting USB stick, unlocking settings, updating through update-center or installing through software center)
[09:43] <Seveas> centrix: pieve of advice is to upgrade :)
[09:43] <kn1ght> Seveas, can you elaborate? Does it mean that if I try this exploit it will not work? Because I, as a user, will not be able to reset the time? or because sudo doesn't keep /var/log/auth.log?
[09:44] <DarsVaeda> is there a clipboard that can change copied text, like make it all lowercase?
[09:44] <Seveas> kn1ght: what I mean is that the premise is ridiculous. If you can't count on people with admin rights locking their screens, this is just one of a thousand ways of abusing that.
[09:45] <Rory> kn1ght: There is a bug. Ubuntu people will defend this.
[09:46] <bojan> Folatt:??
[09:46] <Folatt> bojan, yeah sorry, just a sec
[09:46] <bojan> Folatt:Ya tel me
[09:46] <kn1ght> Seveas, yes, but admin is not necessarily the same as root.. and this effectively makes it the same. Either way, it's good to know that it is there at least.

[10:51] <MonkeyDust> Folatt  i connot open links at this time, what's in it?
[10:52] <Rory> MonkeyDust: "I installed Ubuntu on a new SSD, which led to the wrong SSD being booted, then I did a boot-repair.
[10:52] <Rory> "Now my SSD is booted, but it ends up in intramfs and when I do ls, I see my /boot partition.

[10:52] <Rory> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10912467/
[10:52] <Folatt> Pretty much that.
[10:52] <Rory> so Folatt you have two physical drives in your system?
[10:53] <Rory> Folatt: Are you sure your BIOS is booting from the correct one? What happens when you try to boot from the other?
[10:53] <Folatt> Connected to my computer right now? Yes. But I intend to replace one with the other.
[10:53] <Folatt> The old one is only connected because that one I can boot.
[10:54] <Rory> So, you probably don't have a bootloader installed on the other drive
[10:54] <Folatt> I am IN the other one right now.
[10:54] <printul> anyone used aicrack without a wireless card ?
[10:54] <Rory> you want "grub-install /dev/sda" assuming /dev/sda is the problematic drive
[10:54] <Folatt> Rory, where can I see if bootloader is installed or not on the other drive?
[10:55] <Folatt> Yes, /dev/sda is the problametic drive
[10:55] <Folatt> *problematic
[10:55] <Rory> Folatt: I'm not sure how to verify that. But what I think is happening is, you have a bootloader on one drive, which is allowing you to load into the OS's installed on either

[10:57] <Folatt> Rory, but I've done this before and it didn't work. Have you seen the video I uploaded?
[10:58] <Rory> I can't watch a video right now
[10:58] <Folatt> Rory, I'm going to reboot and see if "grub-install /dev/sda" worked
[10:58] <Folatt> Installing for i386-pc platform.
[10:58] <Rory> OK make sure you change your BIOS to boot from it
[10:58] <htpc_> hi all
[10:58] <Folatt> Installation finished. No error reported.
[10:58] <Rory> I would recommend physically disconnecting the non-problematic drive for this maintanence if possible, to be sure you're working with the correct one at all times
[10:59] <Rory> If that's not straightforward then don't worry, but if it is, then there's definitely no harm
[10:59] <Folatt> Rory, no need to. It's set on that right now. I booted on this one by pressing F11.
[10:59] <Rory> OK so it's working now you have grub installed on it?
[10:59] <Folatt> Rory, kay, shutting down and rebooting right now..
[10:59] <Rory> I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you
[11:03] <Folatt> Rory, wow! Thanks! For some reason it's no longer dropping to intramfs!
[11:03] <Folatt> It still is behaving oddly though.
=== teresa is now known as Guest72366
[11:03] <Folatt> I mean, I get dropped to a grub shell.
[11:04] <Folatt> It's all shell.
[11:04] <Rory> Is it grub you're seeing? Or Linux? Are you able to switch to a different console with ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[11:05] <Folatt> Rory, I'll reboot and try. I managed to do "update-grub" as well now.
[11:09] <Folatt> Rory, hurray that works as well! Now the only problem I have is this weird double boot problem and it shows an error in grub right after I choose "ubuntu". I think it was "error: device not found"
[11:09] <Folatt> just a sec rebooting again.
[11:09] <Rory> Does it boot anyway despite the error?
[11:11] <sennn> what is snappy?
[11:11] <Folatt> Rory, "error: device name required"

[11:16] <Folatt> Rory, Yeah, I'm in the new SSD right now. It boots anyway after a second restart. Perhaps they're not related, because I have the same problem with the old one and that one does not have that error.

[12:24] <Rory> Guest99778: To be clear, do you already know how to set up a mobile broadband connection and are having trouble with that hardware? Or do you need to know what steps to follow to get connected?

[12:41] <XenophonF> on a mac, how do i manually install grub so that i can use it with rEFInd?
[12:41] <Rory> XenophonF: the command "grub-install"
[12:42] <Rory> !grub | probably some info here XenophonF
[12:42] <ubottu> probably some info here XenophonF: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[12:42] <XenophonF> yeah, i've been looking at that
[12:42] <Rory> I'm not familiar with rEFInd to be honest. What causes this to be different from a normal installation of grub?
[12:43] <Rory> And what exactly do you mean by "manually" ?
[12:43] <XenophonF> from the command prompt - i'm not using the graphical installer
[12:43] <XenophonF> hang on a sec - i'll post a gist with what i've done so far
[12:43] <Rory> Yeah the grub-install command does pretty much what it sets out to
[12:44] <XenophonF> https://gist.github.com/xenophonf/5fdaac7e31f1903253c1
[12:44] <XenophonF> so the disk is partitioned using gpt
=== yann is now known as Guest84133
[12:44] <kazdax> Rory, what was the command i needed to execute
[12:44] <kazdax> i just logged into my ubuntu machine
[12:44] <Rory> kazdax: lspci | grep -i net
[12:45] <kazdax> okay its working now
[12:45] <Rory> kazdax: That will tell me what network hardware you have
[12:45] <kazdax> the speed test worked now
[12:45] <kazdax> ill try and download the torrent
[12:45] <kazdax> and see if it gets back
[12:45] <XenophonF> it's set up to dual (duel!) boot, so there's an EFI partition, an HFS+ partition, an EXT2 /boot, and a LUKS partition
[12:46] <XenophonF> oh, there's another HFS+ partition in between the first HFS+ one and the EXT2 /boot for recovery
[12:46] <XenophonF> i have rEFInd installed on the EFI partition - it supplants the Apple boot manager, and it can boot Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> XenophonF  summarize that or show a screenshot/paste
[12:47] <Rory> It's going to be difficult to do this reliably with a torrent. Can you test with a large, single file over HTTP?
[12:47] <capsicum> Hi, been trying to install 14.04.2 server from usb but getting bad cd rom erro.
[12:47] <XenophonF> it's all in the gist i just posted
[12:47] <Rory> kazdax: Here's a 100 meg file on a gigabit connection http://flashheart.rory.sh/100-meg.txt
[12:47] <XenophonF> actually, i've got a detailed install procedure
[12:47] <XenophonF> problem is, when i boot it drops me into the initrd and goes no further
[12:48] <Rory> kazdax: Because my hunch is still that there isn't actually a difference and it's still just coincidence
[12:48] <XenophonF> i suspect that the LUKS stuff isn't right, but i'm not sure where to look in the initrd config
[12:48] <Rory> XenophonF: This is a bit out of my remit, and I don't want to incorrectly advise you and hose your bootloader
[12:48] <kazdax> Rory its working fine now
[12:48] <XenophonF> like, i can give the correct kernel command line to rEFInd - so maybe grub is unnecessary
[12:49] <XenophonF> but once it loads up the initrc, LUKS isn't prompting me for the root container password
[12:49] <XenophonF> Rory: the machine's a dev box so i'm not worried about hosing it :)
[12:49] <Rory> I think Grub is aware of LUKS, and it's Grub that handles the asking for the password (but I might be wrong)
[12:49] <jpds> Rory: Not by default.
[12:50] <jpds> Rory: GRUB knows about initramfs.
[12:50] <jpds> Rory: And initramfs knows about LUKS.
[12:50] <Rory> I'm basing that purely off remembering seeing some LUKS stuff in a grub config file.
[12:50] <Rory> yes jpds that sounds more likely
[12:50] <XenophonF> yeah, initramfs is supposed to handle the LUKS stuff
[12:50] <XenophonF> so i have an unencrypted boot volume that has the kernel and initrd images on it
[12:51] <XenophonF> and rEFInd can see those without any difficulty
[12:52] <XenophonF> hm, i think part of my config can be streamlined
[12:52] <XenophonF> e.g., the zfs pool can refer to the dm devices directly, not sure why i need to alias those again
[12:53] <XenophonF> but still, not sure where in the initramfs configs i need to tweak the luks bits
[12:53] <capsicum> team, cant get 14.04.2 x64 to boot from usb. keep getting error Failed to copy file from CD-ROM Retry?
[12:53] <k1l_> capsicum: how did you make that live-usb?
[12:53] <k1l_> capsicum: did you check the md5sum?
[12:54] <capsicum> tried new usb, tried changing bios to windows 7 os, downloaded image again. nothing works.
[12:54] <Rory> capsicum: you need to (a) check that the image you downloaded is correct, and (b) check that it was copied to the flash drive correctly
[12:54] <Rory> Oh OK
[12:54] <Rory> capsicum: What are you using to make the usb?
[12:54] <capsicum> I do an md5 check on the iso again.
[12:54] <lotuspsychje> capsicum: did you put bios to usb boot first?
[12:55] <Rory> capsicum: At what point in the process is the error displayed?
[12:55] <capsicum> used the F12 and selected the usb
[12:55] <XenophonF> i added a file to /etc/initramfs/conf.d called "root0" (the alias for my luks container)
[12:55] <XenophonF> maybe that bit is wrong
[12:56] <XenophonF> it also looks like the initramfs scripts expect the zfspool to be called "rpool" instead of tank, which is what i named it
[12:57] <XenophonF> hm
[12:57] <ilham> 12345

[13:08] <MonkeyDust> or stick to LTS
[13:08] <k1l_> orogor: what ubuntu version are you on?
[13:08] <Umeaboy> I have minor crashes in 15.04 so I'm not complaining.
[13:09] <orogor> 14.10
[13:09] <neldogz> Umeaboy, which changes are you referring to?
=== daftykin1 is now known as daftykins
[13:09] <k1l_> orogor: you got 3month to upgrade to 15.04 now. after then 14.10 will be shut down.
[13:10] <orogor> i ask because some release had good  bootloader or audio  bug in major version change
[13:10] <rydzykje> Guys I used, chown 775 and also 664 and the result is the same
[13:10] <rydzykje> anyway that log files are not created because of "permission denied"
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> rydzykje  good, 664 is safer than 775
[13:11] <rydzykje> MonkeyDust: but result is the same, :(
[13:11] <Umeaboy> neldogz: Problem is with mount right?
[13:11] <MonkeyDust> rydzykje  great, then use the safer version
[13:11] <rydzykje> maybe i should rise service permissions when running?
[13:12] <neldogz> Umeaboy, I believe so but difficult to tell since there is no real error just a bunch of data spewed out after Task Dump for CPUx
[13:12] <neldogz> Umeaboy, happens systemd is referencing the raid
[13:12] <Umeaboy> Right.
[13:12] <capsicum> Rory, now this is interesting same error with 12.04.5.
[13:13] <Umeaboy> Check on bugs reported against systemd then? :)
[13:13] <capsicum> It's gigabyte nuc, perhaps there is problem with it.
[13:14] <rydzykje> which permisions should have my.cnf file ? 0644 ?
[13:14] <MrElendig> 640 or 660
[13:15] <MrElendig> depending on the ownership
[13:15] <Deathcrow> I am trying to rebuild a kernel module for the ubuntu stock kernel, but when I try to insmod it I get "Invalid module format". I don't want to boot into an entirely new kernel...
[13:16] <MonkeyDust> Deathcrow  #ubuntu-kernel
[13:16] <Deathcrow> MonkeyDust: okay, thanks
[13:18] <rydzykje> MrElendig: ownership?
[13:21] <neldogz> When a system is booting and systemd is displaying messages across the screen.. where is that stored?
[13:21] <Umeaboy> neldogz: /var/log/messages perhaps?
[13:22] <Umeaboy> Check in /var/log to begin with.
[13:22] <Umeaboy> There might also be a /var/log/boot
[13:22] <neldogz> Umeaboy, Ubuntu 15 no longer has messages
[13:22] <Umeaboy> Oh?
[13:22] <Umeaboy> OK.
[13:22] <neldogz> Umeaboy, no boot either...
[13:22] <Umeaboy> journalctl then?
[13:23] <neldogz> Umeaboy, will try that
[13:24] <Xultz> Hello, I would like to install 15.04 via wubi. When i click on the cd drive on WIndows, it opens the wubi installer, but it wants to download and install 14.10. I copied it to the same folder where the .iso is, and it still wants to install 14.10. What should I do to install 15.04?
[13:24] <Umeaboy> Xultz: Install 14.10 and upgrade in it. :)
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> Xultz  wubi is not a good idea
[13:24] <Umeaboy> sudo do-release-upgrade :)
[13:25] <Xultz> Why not, Monkeydust?
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> Xultz  because it is a pseudo installation and will give you more problems than frustration... for one, it cannot be upgraded
[13:26] <daftykins> Xultz: avoid it like the plague it is.
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> Xultz  wubi means Will Ultimately Be Inefficient
[13:26] <Xultz> Ok. I wanna install in my working machine, which have one partition with Windows on it. Is it safe to resize the partition and install on it?
[13:26] <daftykins> which Windows ? 8?
[13:26] <Xultz> 7
[13:26] <daftykins> factory install it came with, or otherwise?
[13:27] <teward> Xultz: you can resize the partition live if you have Windows 7 or later - it can resize its own partition while you're booted.  That then gives you disk space to install Ubuntu too
[13:27] <teward> (that way the resize is 'safe')
[13:27] <teward> but you should still answer daftykins :P
[13:27] <Xultz> teward, you mean that I can resize the partition while running Windows? How do I do it?
[13:28] <EriC^^> control panel > type disks in the search
[13:28] <daftykins> Xultz: run diskmgmt.msc then right click the partition, and resize
[13:28] <Deathcrow> Can anyone in here help me how to compile a kernel module for the stock ubuntu kernel? no one in #ubuntu-kernel is responding...
[13:28] <Xultz> Yes daftykins, is a Dell machine with factory Windows on it
[13:28] <daftykins> note that you must have an empty recycle bin, a defragmented drive (if it's a mechanical HDD) before trying
[13:28] <daftykins> Xultz: ok you might have more partitions on that disk than you expect, then such as for recovery.
[13:28] <Xultz> ok, I'll try it, thank you so much for all!

[13:34] <flipapy> is there a way to set fle in my pictures folder to run the images in it changing every 5 seconds or so?
[13:34] <Cimpresovec> Don't know exactly what the error is
[13:34] <flipapy> a file*
[13:34] <flipapy> i mean in the backround, geez lemme rephrase
[13:35] <Rory> flipapy: you want a photo slideshow wallpaper?
[13:35] <flipapy> can i set my backround image to change every 5 seconds using a folder of images in my pictured folder?
[13:35] <flipapy> thanks Rory
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> flipapy  you need to create a xml file to achieve that
[13:35] <Rory> flipapy: I like Shotwell image manager. http://askubuntu.com/a/120965
[13:35] <flipapy> but basically yeah i guess that's it, i want a constant changing of images, where i get to determine the images
[13:35] <flipapy> like every few seconds
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> flipapy  i'd like to look it up (xml file for slideshow), but cannot open FF, due to VMware eating Ãmy cpu
[13:37] <rydzykje> any ideas why mysql service during start can't create this "/var/log/mysqld.log" ? it's giving me error Permission denied, and service can't start....
[13:38] <flipapy> ok MonkeyDust thanks though
[13:38] <EriC^^> rydzykje: type ls -l /var/log/mysqld.log
[13:38] <rydzykje> EriC^^: file does not exists, service can't create it
[13:38] <Rory> flipapy: did you see my link? Shotwell comes with Ubuntu
[13:39] <EriC^^> rydzykje: maybe it got deleted by mistake?
[13:39] <EriC^^> rydzykje: try dpkg -L <sql package> | grep /var/log
[13:39] <Intergamme> Bonjour à tous
[13:40] <flipapy> yeah Rory thanks im looking ninto how
[13:40] <Rory> flipapy: sleect the photos you want to use, go file -> set as desktop slideshow -> done
[13:43] <prestorium> hi all. I have 14.04.02. I need to downgrade it to 14.04. Is it possible?
[13:43] <EriC^^> prestorium: no
[13:44] <daftykins> nope.
[13:44] <daftykins> prestorium: also, why?
[13:44] <prestorium> daftykins, because puppet-enterprise 3.8 won't install on 14.04.02. I can upgrade after
[13:44] <rydzykje> EriC^^: dpkg -L mysql-community-server |grep /var/log - is not giving any result
[13:45] <EriC^^> rydzykje: ok, type ls -ld /var/log
[13:45] <daftykins> prestorium: is it 14.04 updated to 14.04.2, or 14.04.2 installed fresh? the difference is the former would be on a 3.13 kernel whilst the latter would be on a 3.16 kernel
[13:46] <rydzykje> EriC^^: drwxrwxr-x 10 root syslog 4096 Apr 27 11:00 /var/log
[13:46] <flipapy> yeah it's working, gonna tweak how the pics frame up, they are acting buggy but it's working, thanks Rory
[13:46] <prestorium> daftykins, Google Cloud Engine, so dunno. I think that it is a fresh install
[13:46] <EriC^^> rydzykje: how do you run the sql server?
[13:46] <rydzykje> EriC^^: service mysql start
[13:47] <prestorium> daftykins, the only difference is the kernel?!
[13:47] <rydzykje> EriC^^: Im on the root acc
[13:47] <daftykins> prestorium: some kinda VPS? ok not touching that :)
[13:47] <daftykins> prestorium: run "uname -r" to confirm
[13:48] <daftykins> 14.04.2 comes with the utopic HWE
[13:48] <prestorium> daftykins, VPS. The kernel is 3.16.
[13:48] <daftykins> yeah, likely running 3.16 is what's ruining your plans
[13:48] <daftykins> but i couldn't comment on how or if you can install 3.13 instead given your setup
[13:48] <prestorium> daftykins, so... if I could downgrade the kernel I should be fine?
[13:48] <prestorium> hmm :)
[13:49] <EriC^^> rydzykje: i have no idea
[13:49] <rydzykje> EriC^^: anyway thanks
[13:49] <EriC^^> rydzykje: it looks like a permissions error, is there an sql user?
[13:50] <daftykins> prestorium: i'm not guaranteeing it, but it's what i'd try
[13:50] <rydzykje> EriC^^: which user?
[13:50] <EriC^^> like www-data for apache
[13:50] <prestorium> daftykins, if things go wrong, I can nuke the VM and try again
[13:50] <rydzykje> EriC^^: in mysql is called "mysql" ?
[13:51] <prestorium> daftykins, linux-headers and linux-image? Do I need anything else?
[13:51] <rydzykje> EriC^^: in my.cnf in section [mysqld] there's user=mysql
[13:51] <EriC^^> rydzykje: try typing groups sql
[13:51] <EriC^^> groups mysql
[13:52] <rydzykje> EriC^^: by type: groups mysql i received: mysql: mysql
[13:55] <flipapy> ok, how do i stop the slideshow Rory ?
[13:55] <Rory> flipapy: No idea m8. Right-click desktop -> change wallpaper -> select some other image
[13:55] <Rory> flipapy: Not sure if you can pause/skip etc like KDE
[13:56] <flipapy> ha, good one, now i have some ghost operation just floatng around in the back end. lol, ok, well its still a nice os, thanks though, it works. :)
[13:56] <EriC^^> you probably have to stop it from shotwell
=== ujjain- is now known as ujjain
[13:57] <Rory> flipapy: I think shotwell probably just generates the relevent xml slideshow file and feeds it to Unity
[13:58] <Rory> rather than drawing it itsself
[13:58] <flipapy> cool, thanks Rory
[13:58] <rydzykje> EriC^^: I've created manualy /var/log/mysqld.log and gave permissions 1777 and mysql started...
[13:59] <rydzykje> EriC^^: how can I check which permisions have service to create logs?
[14:00] <rydzykje> EriC^^: the problem is for sure that ,service has not permisions to create files in /var/log , is it possible to edit it?
[14:00] <flipapy> ok, dont hate me for saying the word windos (joke) but in windows i can right click desktop backround and move to next image. is there something similar here?
[14:01] <MonkeyDust> flipapy  never heard of such option and never needed it
[14:02] <flipapy> yeah MonkeyDust i gtet that, but sometimes i just get tired of looking at the backround image, really retty pic, and i just click to the next one
[14:02] <daftykins> that is only available when you have a set of wallpapers selected
[14:02] <daftykins> on rotation
[14:02] <AmazinglyDumb> heylo
[14:02] <brice> What is the difference between kernels linux-generic-lts-trusty vs linux-image-generic-lts-trusty?  I can't find any answer or faq anywhere.  Thanks
[14:02] <MonkeyDust> flipapy  use your file manager to select the pic you want, set it as background from there
[14:03] <k1l_> brice: the linux-image-.. is just the kernel, the other will install the headers, too
[14:03] <flipapy> yeah MonkeyDust thats what i was doing, just that i was wondering if something had been developed

[14:03] <flipapy> oh and since when does skype charge for use?
[14:03] <brice> k1l_ Thank you very much.
[14:04] <AmazinglyDumb> flipapy: I guess it doesn't

[14:05] <flipapy> AmazinglyDumb, i wanted to test skype in my wndows phone recently and 'bonk' it wants like 10 bucks just to get started i know is ther a better chan for this topic?
[14:05] <flipapy> MonkeyDust, thanks, i know i wasnt ocmplaining
[14:05] <petrvs> it's always been more popular to charge people for phone apps
[14:05] <petrvs> use a free webrtc app instead
[14:05] <AmazinglyDumb> flipapy: oh, sorry, I thought you were replying to my problem
[14:06] <flipapy> its ok no prob
[14:06] <AmazinglyDumb> so does anyone know how to fix the missing skype icon?
[14:06] <AmazinglyDumb> at least tell how's that top toolbar called
[14:08] <k1l_> AmazinglyDumb: "panel"
[14:08] <AmazinglyDumb> k1l_: adbar :D
[14:09] <flipapy> ok thanks for all the help :)
[14:09] <k1l_> AmazinglyDumb: you might need to whitelist the skype indicator
[14:10] <AmazinglyDumb> k1l_: how?
[14:10] <AmazinglyDumb> I've made a fresh ubuntu install and fresh skype install - and it just there when I run skype
[14:10] <AmazinglyDumb> but my coworker has the same version of ubuntu and same version of skype and the icon is not there
[14:10] <XenophonF> how do i replace grub-pc with grub-efi?
[14:11] <XenophonF> do i just install grub-efi?

[14:20] <aldnk> Networking question. I have a bunch of different software that's running on localhost instead of 0.0.0.0. Which means I can't access it externally. Is there a way to generically bind anything that's running on localhost to 0.0.0.0? I'd rather not have to find `n` different ways to do it for `n` different pieces of software
[14:20] <MonkeyDust> aldnk  yes, add it in /etc/hosts
[14:21] <aldnk> MonkeyDust: will that break 127.0.0.1?
[14:21] <aldnk> MonkeyDust: I'm wondering if it will impact software expecting something there
[14:22] <MonkeyDust> aldnk  redirecting a url to 0.0.0.0 in /etc/hosts made it unreachable, not sure about localhost, tho
[14:23] <aldnk> MonkeyDust: I guess I mean, if I already have a line: 127.0.0.1   localhost -- do I add another line 0.0.0.0 localhost? Or do I have to break 127.0.0.1 and replace it?
[14:23] <MonkeyDust> don't rmember exactly how I did it, it was for testing purposes

[14:39] <pc_magas> mcphail, because this command I posted above cound not be executed otherwhy
[14:39] <pc_magas> The point is to execute these commands
[14:41] <somsip> pc_magas: you get php to save the files somewhere, then run a background process to check 'somehwere' for files that need converting. You run that process safely, away from your web server. This is not an ubuntu support issue though

[14:45] <octopissed> I am trying to open a program that renders 3D objects in Ubuntu via SSH -XY, but I am getting a lot of GLX errors such as GLXBadContext, GLXBadDrawable, etc. I had no problems with this program prior to updating Ubuntu, so it's likely due to changes in my graphics drivers or settings following the upgrade.
[14:45] <tasteless_ninja> aldnk: ngrok is probably what you're looking for
[14:45] <daftykins> otherwise tunnel it over SSH maybe ;)

[14:46] <octopissed> I am using a proprietary driver from my graphics card and it's supposed to be the most stable and relatively new. I think it's the same I used earlier. I've tried using a few different drivers but I keep getting the same problem.
=== Guest47444 is now known as iconic1
[14:46] <octopissed> the program that I am trying to open works fine, but the area where the 3D rendering is not loading.
[14:46] <petrvs> octopissed: knowing is better than thinking
[14:47] <daftykins> octopissed: what card and which driver?
[14:47] <Wololo22> Hi guys
[14:47] <daftykins> octopissed: and what did you upgrade, 14.10 -> 15.04 ?
[14:47] <octopissed> daftykins: yes.
[14:47] <Wololo22> somebody know where can I get the ralink driver?
[14:47] <Wololo22> *for wireless card
[14:47] <ATar> good afternoon. I have repeatedly tried to upgrade from 14.10 server to 15.04. always fails with UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 337: invalid start byte . any ideas? thank you.
[14:48] <daftykins> octopissed: and my other query?
[14:48] <petrvs> ATar: upgrade by doing what?
[14:48] <octopissed> apparently not, I am using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. it might not have upgraded because I am using the Gnome 3 version of Ubuntu?
[14:48] <daftykins> octopissed: LTS does not upgrade to 15.04, you have to go via 14.10 first.

[14:52] <ultragamecard> hello
[14:52] <daftykins> octopissed: that wasn't even part of your initial description :) does this program work locally?
[14:52] <xbb> Helo. I installed Ubuntu 15.04 on Dell OptiPlex 7010 and experince significant lag in mouse movements ad typing. Everything worked fine in installation screen, but once instaled lag started. Any ideas how to fix this? I think it migh have to do with video card, this machine has Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller
[14:52] <octopissed> daftykins: it does.
[14:53] <Rory> ricky_: You can view/edit your software sources with a GUi by searching for "software and updates" in the Dash
[14:53] <Rory> ricky_: Looks like that problem repository is still enabled, and that's why apt-get is hanging (because the website is down)
[14:53] <daftykins> octopissed: then it's nothing to do with drivers on the host running the program
[14:53] <Rory> ricky_: so it must have been in another place from the one you just deleted
[14:53] <petrvs> ultragamecard: 'lo
[14:53] <ricky_> Rory, where? :S
[14:54] <octopissed> daftykins: I believe it has to do with the drivers on the client.

[14:54] <ricky_> Rory, isn't helpful the link that i've post before?
[14:54] <willow19> for my nick
[14:55] <adamlxs> Hello can you tell me whether it is worth upgrading to ubuntu 15
[14:55] <willow19> which i believe was registered as 'willow'
[14:55] <ricky_> Rory, to verify where is this repo that always asking if i do apt-get update?
[14:55] <ultragamecard> no
[14:55] <Rory> ricky_: Yes it's helpful, it's telling me exactly what the problem is and how to fix it. I've explained exactly what the problem is, and how to fix it, and now I'm waiting for you to let me know you've done it
[14:55] <somsip> adamlxs: do you want bleeding edge or stability? What are you runnig now?
[14:55] <k1l_> willow19: ask in #freenode
[14:55] <octopissed> daftykins: 15.04.
[14:55] <daftykins> be back in a bit.
[14:55] <adamlxs> i am running the latest verstion of ubuntu 14 and it runs well
[14:55] <petrvs> adamlxs: if you aren't going to upgrade, you should find another distro
[14:56] <somsip> adamlxs: 14.10? Only supported until July. So maybe you will have to change sooner or later
[14:56] <ricky_> Rory, uhm well i've done it but no luck there in not any link about the repo russo79 in the list in etc/apt
[14:56] <petrvs> sitting on old software is not a great idea
[14:56] <somsip> !14.10 | adamlxs
[14:56] <ubottu> adamlxs: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was the 21st release of Ubuntu. Support for this release will end in July 2015. For more info see !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/utopic
[14:57] <Rory> ricky_: What's the full output of the command: grep -r russo79 /etc/apt
[14:57] <Rory> ricky_: if it's more than one line, but it on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[14:57] <adamlxs> thanks but the other version comes with 5 years support correct me if i am wron
[14:57] <adamlxs> g
[14:57] <octopissed> daftykins: sorry, it's the other way around. the client has 15.04 and the host has 14.04. I recently upgraded the client to 15.04 and I believe that is the cause of the problems.
[14:57] <ricky_> Rory, /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome15.list:deb http://packages.russo79.com/debian/gnome15 precise main
[14:58] <adamlxs> but bleeding edge and stability sounds good to me
[14:58] <octopissed> maybe I should just upgrade the host and see if that helps.
[14:58] <somsip> adamlxs: well, stable would be LTS like 14.04. 15.04 is probably stable enough for most personal use though
=== ssantoro is now known as santi_
[14:59] <Rory> OK ricky_ so remove that file. Carefully run "sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome15.list" - I say carefully because it won't ask for confirmation before deleting so if you make a typo you can make big messes
[14:59] <adamlxs> ok thanks i think ihave 14.04.02
[14:59] <adamlxs> 14.04.2 i meant
[14:59] <ricky_> Rory, ok
[14:59] <somsip> adamlxs: unless you need some package that is more up to date than that offered by 14.04, it may be worthwhile staying with a stable system. Your call though
[15:00] <ricky_> Rory, well done it's workin ;)
[15:00] <ricky_> working*
[15:00] <Rory> ricky_: Once it's removed, you should be able to run "sudo apt-get update" without error. Once that has completed, you should run "sudo apt-get -f install" and then proceed with the installation of those debs you downloaded
[15:00] <adamlxs> i think ill back up my stuff and give it a whirl
[15:00] <somsip> adamlxs: happy whirling

[15:01] <EriC^^> oafoa: dd usually works
[15:02] <EriC^^> oafoa: did you checksum the iso?
[15:02] <k1l_> oafoa: was /dev/sdx the /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb2?
[15:02] <oafoa> k1l_: /dev/sdb1
[15:03] <EriC^^> oafoa: it has to be /dev/sdb

[15:04] <oafoa> EriC^^: k1l_: Alright I'll give that a try. Thanks.

[15:06] <ricky_> Rory, the last ubuntu 15.04
[15:06] <somsip> Rory: https://launchpad.net/python-uinput
[15:08] <askon> EriC^^> what do you mean i just want to transfer the document i need fro the old laptop to my new one , and i was wandering if i can link the two laptops with a usb cable and from then i can see the directories of my old harddrive  , because i dont have an adapter like this http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-SATA-Drive-Adapter-Cable/dp/B00HJZJI84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430319875&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+to+sata+adapter
[15:08] <Rory> ricky_: This could potentially go on quite a long time. This project gnome15 appears to be somewhat dead
[15:09] <ricky_> ricky_, well when i've upgraded to the previous version of ubuntu all workings well, now i've done a fresh clean install and that's why i'm here
[15:10] <kunji> askon: use a network cable, I'm skeptical of that other way working out.
[15:10] <EriC^^> askon: i think it depends on how the laptop is setup, if it's not setup for networking like that i don't think you can access the files
[15:10] <askon> EriC^^ ; is it possible ? or I have to buy that adapter ??
[15:10] <Rory> ricky_: I would suggest the following, however: "sudo dpkg -i --force-all ~/Downloads/Gnome15\ Debs/*.deb"
[15:10] <EriC^^> askon: you can hook them up, but you need to set it up from the old laptop, i think
[15:10] <Rory> ricky_: and then "sudo apt-get -f install"
[15:10] <ricky_> Rory, ok i try
[15:10] <kunji> askon: network cable is faster anyway...
[15:10] <Rory> ricky_: I have assumed you extracted that file to your Downloads directory, you will need to change the path if you extracted it somewhere else
[15:11] <ricky_> ok
[15:11] <Rory> ricky_: I would like to see the output from that, if possible
[15:11] <EriC^^> askon: if you don't have an external monitor, you can use a tv to setup the old laptop
[15:11] <Rory> ricky_: Be prepared to not get this working, however
=== soee_ is now known as soee
[15:12] <askon> EriC^^> you mean use the tv as a sctreen for my old laptop ?

[15:17] <Rory> ricky_: sudo dpkg --force-all -i ~/Scrivania/Gnome15/*.deb
[15:18] <ricky_> Rory, ok it's running
[15:18] <Rory> the "force-all" basically says, yes I know about the missing dependency, I want you to install it anyway and I'll deal with it myself later
[15:18] <ricky_> Rory, and the next step? this working woothout errors
[15:18] <ricky_> without*
[15:18] <Rory> Once this has completed you will need to run: sudo apt-get -f install
[15:19] <Rory> I would expect it to work this time, as last time it was trying to download packages from that broken repository
[15:19] <ricky_> Rory, done and now?
[15:19] <Rory> apt-get -f install worked?
[15:19] <Rory> did it do anything?
[15:19] <ricky_> Rory,  yes it seems
[15:20] <ricky_> Rory,  yes do you want the paste?
[15:20] <Rory> ricky_: sure
[15:20] <Rory> ricky_: Now you have the packages installed, you should continue with your original instructions from after the step where you are supposed to "apt-get install" those packages
[15:20] <Rory> The point of this exercise was to get the packages that "apt-get " was trying to download, manually install them
[15:21] <ricky_> Rory, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/10941220/+

[15:23] <Rory> ricky_: Sorry I missed both are there
[15:23] <Rory> wow so that actually worked
[15:23] <Rory> I mean, I never doubted it
[15:24] <ricky_> Rory, ok so i will continue i don't need to reboot or similar isn't it?
[15:24] <Rory> ricky_: You will want to reboot now, in order to load the new kernel module (aka driver) you just installed
[15:24] <Rory> ricky_: There's probably other ways you could do it, but reboot is easiest
[15:25] <ricky_> Rory, ok i'm on a i7 4970k ssd and 2133 mhz 16 gb i hope it will be fast the reboot
[15:25] <Rory> ricky_: I don't think there are any more steps actually. Your keyboard ought to work when you reboot, and you should have a new application in the launcher for settings
[15:25] <Rory> ricky_: yes yes very nice, now off you go

[15:28] <petrvs> Kion: to do with the Evolution email client
[15:28] <petrvs> if you don't use it, you don't need it
[15:28] <petrvs> it might be used for your email or calendar or a few other things
[15:28] <petrvs> contact db, blah blah
[15:28] <Kion> petrvs: I do not have Evolution installed, I have thunderbird, but I get a message from time to time saying applications no longer have acces to my hotmail account,
[15:29] <petrvs> personally, I wouldn't want applications to have access to my hotmail account...
[15:29] <Rory> ricky_: Are you able to run the new application?
[15:29] <Kion> petrvs: I checked auth.log and it is evolution dataserver, I just want to know If I can uninstall it without breaking thunderbird
[15:30] <ricky_> Rory, uhm no i haven't the icon in the upper part in the taskbar
[15:30] <Kion> petrvs: I agree I don't want it accessing my account, the good thing is that it is an abandoned account
[15:30] <Rory> ricky_: There will be a new application in the dash
[15:31] <Rory> ricky_: Not sure what it'll be called
[15:31] <Kion> petrvs: I guess I will "sudo apt-get purge evolution-dataserver" and hope I don't break thunderbird
[15:31] <ricky_> Rory, uhm also the display of the keyboard is the same with logitech and nothing more
[15:31] <petrvs> thunderbird does not require eds
[15:32] <petrvs> it's possible it can be built in a way it will fail without eds, but that would be silly indeed of the application authors
[15:32] <Kion> petrvs: Ok Great thanks! i will try
[15:32] <petrvs> actually I'm not even sure thunderbird supports eds
[15:32] <Rory> ricky_: The instructions you had originally said to select "kernel driver" option instead of "g19direct" driver in the settings application
[15:32] <Kion> I will report if it goes wrong just for the record
[15:32] <petrvs> in any way
[15:32] <petrvs> Kion: good plan
[15:33] <ricky_> Rory, so whats the next step yto run it?
[15:34] <Rory> ricky_: I don't know. Open the application and poke around

[15:35] <bugs_bugger> hi. big apache issue: i have 12.04 server and tried to upgrade to php5.4 via ppa. didnt work, ppa-purge leaves me with a configtest error. mod_access_compat.so is missing and seems to be a part of apache2-bin which is not available through repos. any ideas?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> bugs_bugger  there's also #ubuntu-server
[15:36] <somsip> bugs_bugger: did you use ondrej PPA?
[15:36] <bugs_bugger> someone: yes ondrey
[15:37] <bugs_bugger> someone: sorry, wrong nick
[15:37] <bugs_bugger> somsip: yes, ondrej
[15:37] <somsip> bugs_bugger: it pulls in a load of dependencies that are not obvious unless you are very careful. I'd imagine it will be non-trivial to revert everything
[15:37] <kunji> bugs_bugger: umm, it should be in the repos, probably a part of a package though, since that's just the executable.
[15:37] <Kion> petrvs: Thanks no problem from deleting evolution-dataserver
[15:37] <somsip> kunji: no, PHP is on 5.3.10 for 12.04
[15:37] <bugs_bugger> somsip: oh my...
[15:38] <ricky_> Rory, i don't see the application which folder it will be located?
[15:38] <somsip> bugs_bugger: yeah - nearly did that myself when I was on 12.04 but read round it and found warnings
[15:38] <kunji> somsip: apache2, not PHP, or is it really that old?
[15:38] <Rory> ricky_: not sure, try searching for "logitech"
[15:38] <bugs_bugger> somsip: stupid me. i had a hunch that it might not work
[15:38] <somsip> kunji: 2.2 on 12.04
[15:38] <somsip> bugs_bugger: I don't have a solution, but be prepared for a rebuild or 14.04 to get them via the official repo
[15:39] <kunji> bugs_bugger: if possibly you should try to move to 14.04 anyway.
[15:39] <ricky_> Rory, no :( don't worry maybe it's impossible to do it in a new fresh install
[15:40] <Rory> ricky_: It might be. Ask again in here in an hour or so, perhaps someone else will have your keyboard
[15:40] <ricky_> Rory, ok thanks anyway
[15:41] <Rory> ricky_: If someone else offers to help you, explain that you have followed these instructions http://www.linux-hardware-guide.com/uk/2014-06-11-logitech-g19-gaming-keyboard-usb-wired but used packages downloaded from http://trynet.ch/?p=215
[15:41] <bugs_bugger> somsip: im a little desperate to be honest. by rebuilding you mean settings and configs or sources?
[15:41] <somsip> bugs_bugger: it might be worth ugly combinations of ppa-purge and forced installs, or try some of these http://is.gd/8KzgT8 http://is.gd/Iie1Cn http://is.gd/ZYH0U5
[15:41] <kunji> bugs_bugger: After purging the ppa, did you remove and reinstall php?
[15:41] <somsip> bugs_bugger: reinstall unless you can find a way of uninstalling. One/any of the above might do it for you, but it could get ugly
[15:42] <bugs_bugger> somsip: thank you. im so mad at myself right now...hopefully it works
[15:42] <somsip> bugs_bugger: good luck
[15:42] <bugs_bugger> kunji: no. ill try.
[15:43] <bugs_bugger> somsip: thanks
[15:46] <kunji> bugs_bugger: Because I don't think purging a ppa removes the packages installed from it.  It's basically what's they're doing in the links from somsip, removing all the php packages and then reinstalling some stuff/moving to a different ppa in the 1st link (oldstable).   If you're going to try those, back up any configuration files you need information from to a different location (e.g. if you've customized your apache2.conf or php.conf, httpd, etc...
[15:48] <bugs_bugger> kunji: k, thanks
[15:48] <kunji> bugs_bugger: If the configuration is the same as before, then you could use remove instead of purge to keep the current config files, but if there is a problem in them, then there will still be a config error.
[15:49] <bugs_bugger> kunji: right now, i already have a configtest error, stating a certain module is missing: mod_acess_compat.so. i dont happen to be able to install that manually?
[15:49] <petrvs> Kion: now the real trick is avoiding it being reinstalled on update :p
[15:50] <kunji> bugs_bugger: you probably could, I don't know the details of the individual php libs.  Lets do some Googling.

[15:52] <Thenewone> any one know a documentation about installing windows via ubunt server ?
[15:52] <compdoc> via?

[15:53] <Thenewone> :D
[15:53] <Thenewone> via a server
[15:53] <daftykins> Thenewone: you can use virtualbox in CLI only mode
[15:53] <daftykins> but no, you would have to look up guides for yourself
[15:54] <teward> Thenewone: 'via a server' is vague - explain what you mean by that
[15:54] <k1l_> Thenewone: where comes ubuntu into the game, when you want to install a windows OS?
[15:54] <teward> Thenewone: do you mean line PXE boot an ISO of Windows from an Ubuntu PXE server?  You'd probably need guides for that elsewhere...
[15:54] <Thenewone> teward, yep
[15:54] <daftykins> aaah teward wins the prize for guessing the users' intent

[15:56] <Thenewone> thanks guys
[15:56] <daftykins> Thenewone: it's not a standard thing so i'd say it's totally pointless
[15:56] <Thenewone> lol who are you decide if it's pointless or not
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  the younger they learn ubuntu, the better
[15:57] <daftykins> Thenewone: someone with over 20 years experience and understanding in this field.
[15:57] <daftykins> but of course, do what you want - just don't blame me when you want the time wasted back :)
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  it's simply a matter of "getting used to", he has to learn it like he learned windows: by using it
[15:57] <daftykins> likely TFTP boot is what you want.
[15:57] <Thenewone> thanks but daftykins do you know how to do it ?
[15:58] <daftykins> i believe i just said
[15:58] <Thenewone> so it's pointless
[15:58] <kunji> Thenewone: If you want to do it, there are ways to get Windows running in virtualbox.  It's not really a 3d gameworthy solution though.  I think it's mostly done for simulation networks of windows machines for penetration testing.
[15:58] <Thenewone> :D
[15:58] <daftykins> yeah, why not just install Windows from a flash drive like normal...
[15:58] <Thenewone> my little brother play wow
[15:59] <daftykins> assuming we're understanding you properly
[15:59] <Thenewone> he is little guys be easy one me
[15:59] <kunji> Thenewone: It won't work well on a virtual machine, I promise.
[15:59] <teward> Thenewone: WoW won't work effectively from a Windows VM
[15:59] <Thenewone> i just want install windows fom my laptop he is in other room
[16:00] <teward> Thenewone: you can't if he's on that laptop.
=== EriC^^ is now known as eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[16:00] <eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee> that is exactly as annoying i thought it would be
[16:00] <teward> Thenewone: except in a VM and WoW / games won't work well from it
[16:00] <kunji> Thenewone:  You may get it working, be prepared for long hours of fiddling, good luck, and it will not work well even if it does "work".
[16:00] <Thenewone> i will lookit for my self
[16:00] <bugs_bugger> kunji: i disabled some mods: access_compat, mpm_prefork, authn_core, authz_core, socache_shmcb. you happen to know about them?
[16:00] <Thenewone> i'm not gonna use vbox
[16:00] <teward> Thenewone: as a gamer myself (STO, Call of Duty) i know for an ABSOLUTE FACT WoW and others won't run well from a VM
[16:00] <bugs_bugger> kunji: now it works again
[16:01] <Thenewone> ok guys thanks for all talks without any help
[16:01] <daftykins> Thenewone: walk in there with a flash drive and install it normally :>
[16:01] <Thenewone> i want learn new way to install things
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  make sure your brother doesnt get too familiar with windows
[16:02] <Thenewone> i know how use flash drive,cd,hdd external, via server i dontknow i want learn it but it's ok i will know how it's works
[16:02] <kunji> bugs_bugger: Nope, I don't know, I don't mess with server internals much.  Did your apache version change due to the ppa as well though?  Because 2.2 and 2.4 have lots of changes.  http://serverfault.com/questions/386687/update-to-apache-2-4-missing-modules
[16:02] <Thenewone> belive me
[16:02] <Thenewone> i installed for him linux but he want cry lol
[16:02] <k1l_> Thenewone: how to make a windows install is not in the focus of this channel.
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  that happens when you have to learn something new
[16:03] <kunji> Thenewone: You could try WINE if you're aiming to get WOW working.
[16:03] <Thenewone> I used playonlinux
[16:03] <eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee> Thenewone: how old is he?
[16:03] <k1l_> Thenewone: ##windows migth help you on that.
[16:03] <daftykins> most of you are misunderstanding the query
[16:03] <Thenewone> he want his icons and stuf
=== eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee is now known as eeee
[16:03] <Thenewone> guys i'm not asking about windows
[16:04] <kunji> Thenewone: Errr, does your linux not have icons?  Mine does.
[16:04] <Thenewone> how to prepare a linux server to install shit
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  make clear to him he has to get used to something else
[16:04] <daftykins> technically you are, because installing Windows via LAN is a Windows support query
[16:04] <bugs_bugger> kunji: ok, thanks. server is working now again and i suspect the mods were from 2.4.
[16:04] <daftykins> regardless of the OS you want to launch it from
[16:04] <Thenewone> i keep my desktop clean
[16:04] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  you're the boss
[16:04] <Thenewone> i hide icons
[16:04] <Thenewone> :D
[16:04] <kunji> Thenewone: so put some there for him, I don't even keep them there to hide.
[16:04] <k1l_> Thenewone: that depends on what you want to install. (and we keep the language family friendly)
[16:04] <Thenewone> sorry
[16:05] <Thenewone> i'm sorry guys
[16:05] <kunji> Thenewone: You mean install a LAMP server?  I'm not sure what that has to do with icons and WOW though?
[16:05] <k1l_> Thenewone: so please ask ##windows what you need for a network windows install.
[16:05] <Thenewone> ok ok
[16:05] <Thenewone> i will change my question
[16:05] <Thenewone> forget about windows
[16:05] <Thenewone> i want install ubuntu 15 via ubuntu server
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> Thenewone  and make your brother listen to you, what you want
[16:06] <Thenewone> how do i preper my ubuntu server ?
[16:06] <Thenewone> forget about win.... ok guys
[16:06] <k1l_> Thenewone: :/
[16:06] <Thenewone> i want install ubuntu via ubuntu server
[16:06] <kunji> Thenewone: Rather, just clarify it.  What do you mean install .... oh... you mean you want to do an installation over the network?
[16:06] <Thenewone> installation over the network
[16:07] <k1l_> Thenewone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[16:07] <Thenewone> omg why you didnt give me this from the first time :D
[16:08] <Thenewone> thanks i will try
[16:08] <k1l_> Thenewone: that will not work with windows that way
[16:08] <Thenewone> Oo
[16:08] <kunji> Thenewone: This may also help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot  Because we didn't understand your question.
[16:08] <Thenewone> lol
[16:09] <Thenewone> ok thanks any way
[16:09] <Thenewone> i will learnit
[16:10] <Thenewone> have a good day

[16:43] <jpwhiting> in the "Provides" field of the apt-cache show
[16:44] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: ultimately what I'm after is a way to detect if xserver-xorg-core-lts-distroname is installed or if xserver-xorg-core itself is there instead
[16:44] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: you're looking for a package you have installed that pulled xorg-input-abi-20 in?

[17:23] <daftykins> missed what?
[17:23] <daftykins> octopissed: yeah had you stayed a couple of minutes longer i'd have asked for a third time what graphics hardware + driver you were using
[17:24] <octopissed> Hardware is NVIDIA GF119M [NVS 4200M], software is the NVIDIA binary driver from nvidia-340.
[17:25] <octopissed> I also tried version 346.59 which I think is the most recent stable driver.
[17:25] <octopissed> And some generic X.org one.

[17:28] <thms> gr1zzlybe4r: did you consider switching to 15.10 ?
[17:28] <thms> Maybe it'll solve your problem.
[17:28] <daftykins> thms: whilst not only bad advice, 15.10 doesn't really exist yet.

[17:29] <thms> and I meant 15.04

[17:29] <thms> stop bashing me when I try to help.
[17:30] <teward> ... who's bashing you?  i see no bashing
[17:30] <gr1zzlybe4r> It's odd because I only have this issue from time to time. I.e., sometimes the sound/song I'm trying to play comes out perfectly fine.
[17:30] <daftykins> thms: sorry, but if you give bad advice then you will be called out.
[17:30] <thms> "bad"
[17:31] <daftykins> yep
[17:31] <thms> ok daftykins then give him a better advice :)
[17:31] <octopissed> I can try 304.125 again and see if that does it. Need to reboot.
[17:31] <daftykins> thms: there's no need to be so defensive :)
[17:32] <gr1zzlybe4r> I guess I'll just see if it's something in the browser configs first and then come back.
[17:33] <thms> gr1zzlybe4r: try different sound players.

[17:37] <octopissed> glxdemo also fails.
[17:37] <kevev> I am having trouble seeing anything other than the 4 free demo roms that come with mame.
[17:37] <ioria> octopissed, Xorg.0.log ?
[17:38] <octopissed> ioria: lots of stuff there, anything in particular I should look for?
[17:39] <ioria> octopissed,     Failed to initialize the GLX module ?
[17:39] <octopissed> ioria: Nothing like that.
[17:39] <daftykins> pastebin the whole file
[17:39] <willow19> any one who used puppy linux
[17:40] <daftykins> willow19: not on topic in an Ubuntu support channel
[17:40] <beloved> How do I repair: bash: /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl: No such file or directory
[17:40] <k1l_> willow19: you better ask that in a puppy channel :)
[17:40] <flipapy> anyone know about 'plank' ? i was wondering if someone using it on 14.4 lts unity has figured out a way to put a clock on there
[17:40] <ioria> octopissed,     everything about NVIDIA :-
[17:40] <beloved> sudo apt-get purge youtube-dl didn't help
[17:40] <k1l_> beloved: install youtube-dl package?
[17:40] <octopissed> glxdemo works fine locally, but remotely it doesn't.
[17:41] <Kangarooo> beloved: you need to install it if you need it. it says that you dont have it.
[17:41] <xangua> flipapy: you know plank is just suposed to be a simple dock right¿ no plugins/widgets stuff, just plain simple dock
[17:41] <beloved> Kangarooo: I have installed it with apt-get install youtube-dl
[17:41] <flipapy> oh ok , thanks xangua
[17:41] <Jordan_U> beloved: What is the output of "type youtube-dl"?
[17:42] <dukedave> Has there been any chatter in here about weird lock screen behavior (specifically getting logged out, instead of just locked)?
[17:42] <xangua> flipapy: if you want a fancy dock try cairo dock or avant window navigator
[17:42] <beloved> Kangarooo: youtube-dl is hashed (/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl)
[17:42] <ioria> octopissed,   look at .Xautority, or  xinitrc ....
[17:42] <beloved> Jordan_U: ^
[17:43] <ioria> octopissed,   permissions , i meant
[17:43] <flipapy> xangua, do you know how to make the top band wiht the wifi signal and time larger? ubuntu 14.04 lts unity
[17:43] <beloved> Jordan_U: It says: youtube-dl is hashed (/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl)
[17:43] <xangua> flipapy: the size of the panel is fixed
[17:43] <Jordan_U> beloved: Then run "hash -d youtube-dl", or simply open a new shell and run youtube-dl there.
[17:44] <beloved> Jordan_U: with sudo?
[17:44] <Jordan_U> beloved: No.
[17:44] <flipapy> ok xangua thansk though
[17:44] <beloved> Jordan_U: Ok.
[17:44] <beloved> Jordan_U: Thank you, it works now!
[17:45] <Kangarooo> beloved: it says you dont have it /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl: No such file or directory
[17:45] <beloved> Jordan_U: Next problem: man: can't resolve /usr/local/share/man/man1/youtube-dl.1: No such file or directory
[17:45] <Jordan_U> beloved: Every time you run a command for the first time, bash looks through all of the directories in $PATH to find the binary you're trying to run, which can take some time. As an optimization, once it has found the command once, it will remember the exact path to this command's binary in a hash table, which in most cases speeds things up without causing any problems.
[17:45] <beloved> Jordan_U: For: man youtube-dl
[17:46] <beloved> Jordan_U: Will it remember this if I reboot?
[17:47] <Jordan_U> beloved: In your case, you had youtube-dl installed in /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl , bash hashed that path for youtube-dl, then you changed the path for youtube-dl to /usr/bin/youtube-dl. That is why your command was failing, and why unhashing (making bash look through all of the directories in $PATH) made it work again.
[17:47] <beloved> Jordan_U: I apt-get purge'd it. now it works with man youtube-dl
[17:48] <octopissed> ioria: which permissions should those have?
[17:48] <maarhart> I don't know if I should ask here... I reboot my laptop with the lid closed and I can see that it is turning on, I see grub for example, the ubuntu splash for some time, and then the display turns off. Also the internal display turns off, and I have no way tu turn it back on. I just have to press the power switch to turn it off
[17:49] <Jordan_U> maarhart: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[17:49] <maarhart> the last one
[17:49] <ioria> octopissed,  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root for  xinitrc, and rw user for .Xauthority
[17:49] <Jordan_U> maarhart: 15.04 was released a few days ago. Is that what you're using?
[17:49] <maarhart> vivid
[17:50] <maarhart> that one
[17:50] <pc_magas> Jordan_U, Actially I am stuck with 14.04 caise it's LTS
[17:50] <pc_magas> cause*
[17:50] <maarhart> Jordan_U: any suggestions?
[17:50] <utu8o> does Ubuntu still have the privacy-invasive Zeitgeist app installed by default?... which logs the users's activities and events, anywhere from files opened to websites visited and conversations. It makes this information readily available for other applications to use in the form of timelines and statistics.
[17:51] <octopissed> ioria: there's not xinitrc in the user dir?
[17:51] <k1l_> utu8o: you know what? you can disable it in the privacy settings. and zeitgeist is a gnome app and is used on the gnome desktop too
[17:51] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Does pressing the power switch turn the computer off, or do you have to hold the power switch?
[17:51] <xangua> utu8o: lots of distros have it installed, yes
[17:51] <xangua> not just ubuntu or unity
[17:51] <ioria> octopissed,  no, xinit is /etc/X11... but not bother   ... can you run glxinfo on the client ?
[17:52] <pc_magas> utu8o, the only privacy issue is the amazon webapp that can me easilly uninstalled without any system affect
[17:52] <pc_magas> According to RMS
[17:52] <xangua> pc_magas: or just swich off the online searches...
[17:52] <octopissed> ioria: I can.
[17:52] <ioria> octopissed,  clean output ?
[17:52] <pc_magas> xangua, also that is a solution
[17:53] <octopissed> ioria: how would clean output look?
[17:53] <ioria> octopissed,  no error
[17:53] <utu8o> one of the main reasons I started using Ubuntu is because I thought it ensured better privacy and security than Windows, does this still hold true?
[17:53] <octopissed> ioria: yeah, no errors.
[17:54] <maarhart> Jordan_U: I have to hold
[17:54] <octopissed> Errors on host, though.
[17:54] <pc_magas> otu8o and is true is more private than windows
[17:54] <k1l_> utu8o: yes it does. you can disable services you dont like.
[17:54] <ioria> octopissed,  same on the server ?
[17:54] <k1l_> utu8o: but since that is different from user to user: just make it suit your needs.
[17:54] <octopissed> ioria: server has errors.
[17:55] <ioria> octopissed,  which is ?
[17:55] <octopissed> libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found
[17:55] <octopissed> and libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast.
[17:55] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Does it appear to be suspending to RAM, or just running normally with the screens off?
[17:56] <ioria> octopissed,  begin  with this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/541343/problems-with-libgl-fbconfigs-swrast-through-each-update
[17:57] <maarhart> Jordan_U: Well I use mythtv, the mythbackend was running. I could connect to the IP from my phone
[17:57] <utu8o> is there still going to be a touch screen version of Ubuntu since many new laptops/convertibles are becoming touch screeen?
[17:58] <octopissed> libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable; libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so; libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so; libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/top/.drirc: No such file or directory.
[17:58] <maarhart> it makes noise... it is running. I don't know if it goes all the way to lightdm or what
[17:58] <maarhart> hard to tell
[17:58] <ioria> octopissed,  seems  related to symbolic link  missing
[17:58] <SenoraRaton> Where is the progress bar during ubuntu installation?
[17:58] <Guest15226> Hi
[17:59] <mcphail> utu8o: yes - join #ubuntu-touch
[18:00] <SenoraRaton> nevermind.. it finished.  I googled, and saw nothing.  Pretty stupid design if you ask me.
[18:00] <octopissed> ioria: thanks, I think I may be on the track of this now.
[18:00] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Are you connected to a router via ethernet? If so, can you ping the machine? If so, can you ssh into it?
[18:00] <XenophonF> i think i got it - /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/cryptroot must be named exactly that, or the luks-related stuff doesn't get copied to the initrd
[18:00] <ioria> octopissed,  never say cat if you don't have it in the sac
[18:01] <k1l_> utu8o: ubuntu-touch is the smartphone/tablet version so far.
[18:02] <maarhart> via wifi. I didn't try ssh, but as I told you I could connect to the IP of the computer.
[18:03] <maarhart> Jordan_U: do you have any guess?
[18:03] <nascentmind> Hi. I did a sudo do-release-upgrade and interrupted it by pressing ctrl+c while it was downloading. Now when I do a sudo do-release-upgrade again it says "No new release found". How do I fix this?
[18:03] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Please install openssh-server so that you can ssh in from another machine (as long as this machine is behind a router and thus won't be getting random ssh exploit attempts 10 times a second).
[18:05] <teward> Jordan_U: if it is internet facing, they can configure iptables to only permit certain ips to their ssh connection - thereby restrict the actual 'visibility' of SSH to the world
[18:05] <r08o> Hi, just did a clean install of Ubuntu 15.04 on my desktop. I used a wired internet connection to get up and running, but want to use my Netgear usb for wifi. I installed the right drivers and can now detect my wifi SSID, but when I try to connect the wifi symbol just keeps "loading" and I am not getting connected. Any ideas?
[18:06] <daftykins> reset the router = #1
[18:06] <maarhart> Jordan_U: before that, I forgot to mention: I get this error in X --configure,  number of created screens does not match number of detected devices
[18:06] <daftykins> i've sat here and gone through the steps of diagnosing someones wireless woes before when all they needed to do was power off and on
[18:06] <r08o> daftykins, I have done that of course.
[18:06] <Jordan_U> r08o: How did you "install the correct drivers"?
[18:06] <daftykins> good to know! you'd be surprised the number who don't
[18:06] <r08o> And tried my mobile tethering as well. Same scenario
[18:07] <daftykins> why would mobile tethering be a test 0o are you saying NM is at fault with not detecting a working connection?
[18:07] <daftykins> do you get an IP via DHCP at least, r08o ?
[18:08] <maarhart> Jordan_U: would this be related?
[18:08] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Why are you trying to use X --configure at all?
[18:09] <r08o> Jordan_U, followed this http://askubuntu.com/questions/568056/usb-wireless-netgear-adapter
[18:10] <r08o> daftykins, no IP

[18:11] <daftykins> r08o: so you used the ndiswrapper method? oh dear.
[18:11] <Jordan_U> r08o: NDISWrapper is aweful, and I would not be surprised if installing it breaks other things as well. I would highly recommend getting a wireless card with good native drivers. Why are you using a USB wireless dongle in the first place?

[18:12] <r08o> Jordan_U, good question actually... I got it for free. Have been working nicely on Windows, but had to get ubuntu on my desktop as well now.
=== KB1WKI is now known as skunix
[18:13] <r08o> Newer use my desktop only my laptop with ubuntu, but wanted to install on desktop too
[18:13] <r08o> never*
[18:13] <maarhart> Jordan_U: I will try the ssh option, thanks
[18:13] <ioria> r08o, lsusb ?
[18:13] <skunix> when I come back from a system suspend all my options in the network manager are grayed out
[18:13] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Why did you think that? If you currently have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and you're not using any proprietary drivers, then I recommend renaming it so it's no longer used: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak
[18:13] <skunix> any idea why that would happen?
[18:14] <skunix> options such as "Disconnect", "Edit Connections", etc

[18:15] <maarhart> maarhart: well, whenever there are issues with the graphics I think it is related with it. Okay, I will do that. How do I know if I am using proprietary drivers?
[18:15] <octopissed> ioria: I can't change my resolution on my client. do you think that the reason it's failing might have to do with the resolutions being incompatible?
[18:15] <ioria> octopissed,  really don't know, sorry
[18:16] <daftykins> octopissed: pastebin the full /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the client PC as instructed earlier
[18:16] <maarhart> Jordan_U: my last message went to you :)
[18:16] <maarhart> was meant to you
[18:17] <XenophonF> i wonder if i even need grub, since i have refind installed
[18:18] <XenophonF> hey daftykins - can't i just use refind to boot ubuntu on my mac, instead of using grub2?
[18:18] <maarhart> XenophonF: I think you need both
[18:18] <maarhart> at least I have both
[18:18] <XenophonF> maarhart: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EFIBootLoaders
[18:19] <maarhart> grub allows you to choose which kernel to use for example
[18:19] <Atar> good evening. I have repeatedly tried to upgrade from 14.10 server to 15.04. do-dist-upgrade always fails with "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xae in position 337: invalid start byte".
[18:19] <octavian> hio
[18:19] <Atar> any ideas would be appreciated. (sorry for coming back with the question).
[18:21] <freeone3000> Hi. I'm holding shift on my keyboard through the entire startup process (past PXE and everything) but there is no grub menu. How can I fix this?
[18:21] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: What problem are you having with grub?
[18:21] <Jordan_U> freeone3000: Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based machine?
[18:21] <daftykins> freeone3000: try the other shift
[18:21] <Atar> if its relevant, I'm trying to upgrade via SSH, but the server also has xfce installed.
[18:22] <freeone3000> daftykins: Tried both shifts.
[18:22] <freeone3000> Jordan_U: UEFI, once it gets past IPMI and PXE.
[18:22] <XenophonF> Jordan_U: i'm having problems getting my encrypted root volume to start
[18:22] <freeone3000> Jordan_U: I can get into the UEFI shell, but that doesn't do me any good (or I don't think so)
[18:22] <daftykins> Atar: you mean 'sudo do-release-upgrade' ?
[18:22] <Jordan_U> freeone3000: Then you have to spam escape rather than holding shift, or just configure grub to always show the menu.
[18:22] <XenophonF> i'm trying to install debian onto a zfs pool which uses a luks container as the backing store for the zfs pool
[18:23] <daftykins> XenophonF: best ask the #debian folk then
[18:23] <freeone3000> Jordan_U: Can't do the latter if I can't change the grub menu. Spamming escape it is.
[18:23] <Atar> daftykins: I'm running as root atm.
[18:23] <XenophonF> lol typed debian meant ubuntu
[18:23] <freeone3000> Also not responding to Ctrl-C or ctrl-d during init, which I find odd.
[18:23] <XenophonF> i have ubuntu installed, and refind sees the unencrypted /boot and can load the kernel/initrd
[18:23] <daftykins> Atar: tried... not?
[18:23] <XenophonF> but for some reason the cryptsetup stuff doesn't get called
[18:23] <XenophonF> so i'm dumped into a busybox shell
[18:23] <Atar> daftykins: i tried via sudo as well.
[18:24] <jpwhiting> Eric__: ok, so here on an old precise 12.04 vm I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-quantal
[18:24] <daftykins> and how about not over SSH?
[18:24] <Jordan_U> freeone3000: UEFI doesn't have an interface for a bootloader to ask if a key is currently pressed, so a UEFI based bootloader can only "see" key presses that happen after they've started. BIOS does have such an interface, and it works well.
[18:24] <jpwhiting> that pulled in xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal
[18:24] <ioria> r08o, do you have Windows Wireless Drivers in system -  Administration ?
[18:24] <XenophonF> i was going to try to get grub-efi installed, but i'm not sure it matters if refind can load the kernel+initrd
=== EriC^^ is now known as Guest39676
[18:24] <Guest39676> .
[18:24] <jpwhiting> apt-cache lists packages that provide that, but doesn't say which one is installed :/
[18:24] <maarhart> jordan: how can I know if I use proprietary drivers?
[18:24] <Atar> daftykins: I can only do SSH.
[18:25] <daftykins> i'm out then :)
[18:25] <Guest39676> brb
[18:25]  * jpwhiting checks dpkg
[18:25] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: grub will at least get the kernel parameters correct for booting from LUKS/zfs.
[18:25] <r08o> ioria, nope.
[18:25] <EriC^^> did you try rdepends?
[18:26] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: Do you have your EFI System Partition mounted at /boot/efi/ ?
[18:26] <XenophonF> no, but i can in two shakes
[18:26] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: apt-cache rdepends xserver-xorg-core gives many many packages that depend on it, doesn't tell me which is installed or such
[18:26] <ioria> r08o, did you install ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9, and ndiswrapper-common ?
[18:27] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: pipe it to the apt-cache policy command
[18:27] <BluesKaj> dunno why the devs are bothering with #ubuntu+1, there's dev OS available yet , 15.10 doesn't even have a codename
[18:27] <BluesKaj> no dev
[18:27] <ioria> r08o, check in Synaptic...
[18:28] <XenophonF> Jordan_U: mounted - now do i run update-grub?
[18:28] <XenophonF> i just found https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting and am scanning through it
[18:28] <r08o> ioria, have them all isntalled. sorry
[18:28] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: erm, that just shows all of the many packages' details
[18:28] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: No, now you run "sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi".
[18:29] <XenophonF> gotcha
[18:29] <jpwhiting> no way to say hey dpkg, do you have any package installed that provides xserver-xorg-core ?
[18:29] <jpwhiting> apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core says it's not installed
[18:29] <Inseighn> Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my bluetooth adapter. It was working when I first installed but  since I've rebooted I can't get it to work anymore.
[18:29] <jpwhiting> but apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal says it's installed and such as I expect
[18:29] <jpwhiting> but I've already provided the needle I'm looking for in that case
[18:29] <ioria> r08o, + Install new driver in system - administartion ?
[18:29] <XenophonF> Jordan_U: that won't override the apple/refind boot loader, will it?
[18:29] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: for i in $(apt-cache rdepends xserver-xorg-core); do if [ ! "$(dpkg -l | awk '/$i/ {print$1}')" = "none" ]; then echo found in $i; fi; done
[18:29] <ioria> administration
[18:30] <r08o> ioria, yes
[18:30] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: It might.
[18:30] <stacks88> if on linux i type nano file.txt and put a bunch of stuff on there, in new lines, when i go to view this file.txt from windows 7 notepad, sometimes it can appear messed up or like things arent on new lines properly. is there a way to use nano and have it save txt files that are compatible with the windows notepad ? or is this just not realistic
[18:31] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: i mean "ii" instead of "none"
[18:31] <daftykins> stacks88: use wordpad instead, notepad doesn't honour the same encoding
[18:31] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: You can add "--no-nvram" if you want grub-install just to add its files to /boot/efi/ without adding any EFI boot entries.
[18:31] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: and no !
[18:31] <maarhart> Jordan_U: I have two proprietary drivers, broadcom wireless and Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUS. Is it then bad if I do sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak ?
[18:31] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: for i in $(apt-cache rdepends xserver-xorg-core); do if [ "$(dpkg -l | awk '/$i/ {print$1}')" = "ii" ]; then echo found in $i; fi; done
[18:31] <EriC^^> use that ^^
[18:31] <Jordan_U> maarhart: No, because those aren't graphics drivers.
[18:32] <XenophonF> ok, thanks Jordan_U
[18:32] <Jordan_U> maarhart: You should be prepared to restore the Xorg.conf manually from the terminal or a LiveCD on the small chance that renaming it prevents X from starting again.
[18:33] <genii> stacks88: There is also a difference in how Windows ends lines, there is an utility set of dos2unix and unix2dos to change it back and forth
[18:33] <stacks88> ah ok thanks guys
[18:33] <freeone3000> So I've tried to get an ubuntu server into single user mode, but it decided to stop after disabling the non-extant firewall ufw. It also attempted to start x, which it reported as success, but no x was started. ctrl-alt-f1 through -f4 are yeilding blank consoles, no login prompt, no command prompt. Input on the keyboard is not showing up. What should I try?
[18:33] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: i think some packages in rdepends have a | before it, you might need to pipe it to sed first to remove that rdepends xserver-xorg-core | sed 's/^|//'
[18:33] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: You're welcome.
[18:35] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: even with the sed here I get no results from that :/
[18:35] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: * sed 's/|//' no ^
[18:35] <jpwhiting> even without the hat
[18:36] <Jordan_U> freeone3000: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[18:36] <jpwhiting> ah, my mistake
[18:36] <freeone3000> Jordan_U: 14.04
[18:37] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: i think something is wrong with the parsing cause rdepends returns it with a space before
[18:38] <octopissed> No idea why I can't change resolution.
[18:38] <jpwhiting> hmm, even with | sed 's/ *//' on there I get nothing :/
[18:38] <jpwhiting> though the apt-cache rdepends line with the sed seems to give what I expect
[18:39]  * jpwhiting checks the other side
[18:39] <EriC^^> i think i got it hold on
[18:39] <ioria> r08o, ok ... we can try this . download from here :  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32258336/ndis_bcmwl.zip
[18:40] <octopissed> ioria: you were right.
[18:40] <octopissed> I wasn't close to solving it.
[18:40] <octopissed> but now I think it may be the resolution on my client.
[18:40] <XenophonF> Jordan_U: it looks like i can just run grub-install, but i also need to run update-grub to get /boot itself populated correctly
[18:41] <ioria> octopissed,  ok but if you post Xorg.log maybe we can help more
[18:41] <Jordan_U> XenophonF: I expect that update-grub has already been run automatically multiple times, but if you don't have a /boot/grub/grub.cfg then you will indeed need to run "sudo update-grub".
[18:42] <r08o> ioria, and install ir?
[18:42] <r08o> it*
[18:43] <ioria> r08o, + Install new driver in system - administration choose the .inf file
[18:43] <neldogz> can someone help me completely remove my raid 1 array? I would like to remove it and all the data then create a new one. Everytime I try the raid array somehow comes back with all the data!!
[18:43] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: for i in $(apt-cache rdepends libc6 | sed 's/|//'); do if [ ! "$(apt-cache policy $i | awk '/Installed/ {print$2}')" = "none" ]; then echo found in $i; fi; done
[18:43] <octopissed> ioria: http://pastebin.com/g08rprRT
[18:44] <XenophonF> Jordan_U: i'm doing a manual install using debootstrap, so this is the first time i've run update-grub :)
[18:44] <maarhart> Jordan_U: thanks. I have the openssh set now. I will reboot.
[18:44] <octopissed> [    27.206] (==) NVIDIA(0): No modes were requested; the default mode "nvidia-auto-select"
[18:44] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: replace libc6 with xserver-xorg-core
[18:44] <neldogz> Whever I try sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md1 i get mdadm: error opening /dev/md1: No such file or directory
[18:44] <neldogz> what gives?
[18:45] <freeone3000> Jordan_U: Best I can tell, it might be related to usbhid, but I have lines saying that my keyboard was recognized. Even in single-user mode (especially in single-user-mode!) i expect a command prompt.
[18:45] <r08o> ioria, and remove old driver?
[18:45] <freeone3000> neldogz: You're trying to remove a raid which doesn't exist.
[18:45] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: my apologies, still doesn't work

[18:45] <ioria> r08o, because there were  ?
[18:46] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: that lists all but the one I want
[18:46] <jpwhiting> actually also the one I want
[18:46] <al2o3-cr> not has bad as debian I suppose
[18:46] <r08o> there was the one that I had install from the guide i linked
[18:46] <neldogz> freeone3000, I understand that the first step in removing a raid array is the following: mdadm --stop /dev/md1
[18:46] <jpwhiting> removing the ! in the if doesn't fix it either
[18:46] <neldogz> after that your supposed to sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md1 but that doesnt work

[18:46] <XenophonF> how do i file an ubuntu bug report?
[18:46] <askingnpow> how to upload screen shot ??
[18:47] <freeone3000> neldogz: --remove removes a disk from the array.
[18:47] <XenophonF> nouveau on my macbookpro5,1 does not work at all
[18:47] <XenophonF> have to use the nvidia driver
[18:47] <ioria> r08o, don't know, try the .inf the dongle led should comes up
[18:47] <XenophonF> or disable kms via nomodeset
[18:47] <r08o> ioria, yeah, its blinking orange
[18:47] <pavlos> askingnpow, use imgur.com
[18:47] <freeone3000> neldogz: After you ran --stop, the raid ceased to exist (as an entity). Each drive still contains raid data, and can be easily reconstructed with --create.
[18:48] <askingnpow> I get this error when i run an update  http://paste.ubuntu.com/10943654/
[18:48] <ioria> r08o, give it a second
[18:48] <freeone3000> neldogz: If you need to remove the raid info from each drive, that's --zero-superblock; if you need to wipe each drive of data, that's mkfs
[18:48] <octopissed> Need another reboot.
[18:48] <moat_joe> Any recs for a good streaming music desktop app?  I subscribe to google music but it keeps nuking my browser...
[18:48] <askingnpow> pavlos ; any idea how to fix it .
[18:48] <maarhart> Jordan_U: oops, it got somewhere in my kill ring. How was the sudo mv command?
[18:49] <neldogz> freeone3000, thanks i will try that
[18:49] <Jordan_U> maarhart: sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak
[18:49] <pavlos> askingnpow, seems you have a ppa in your sources and it fails
[18:49] <EriC^^> jpwhiting: awk doesn't seem to like giving it the variable in the search pattern
[18:49] <ioria> r08o, try to configure the interface  in preference-network connection
[18:49] <EriC^^> awk '/$i/'
[18:50] <askingnpow> <pavlos> and how can i fix that ?
[18:50] <maarhart> Jordan_U: no such file or directory
[18:50] <maarhart> Jordan_U: maybe I did that before
[18:50] <jpwhiting> EriC^^: indeed
[18:50] <jpwhiting> I'm a bit surprised one of the existing tools can't just do this though tbh
[18:51] <maarhart> Jordan_U: but rebooting anyway. see you later!
[18:51] <jpwhiting> like hey dpkg, what's providing xserver-xorg-core currently :p
[18:51] <r08o> ioria, what do you mean by interface?
[18:51] <octopissed> Didn't work.
[18:51] <pavlos> askingnpow, can you disable that ppa? should be in your software & Updates | other sources

[19:03] <jpwhiting> alternatively is there something in apt-cache besides rdepends that searches the "provides" rather than the reverse dependencies maybe ?

[19:06] <twiler> Hello, I had a quick question for just about anyone that uses ubuntu, probably: I recently downloaded the usenet reader/downloader PAN, and after I installed the PPA repository, I downloaded the files, and this is what gets me every single time with ubuntu (and linux in general, I'm guessing) software, is the lack of any .EXE or executable file whatsoever! How to I start PAN now that I'v downloaded and extracted the files? How a
[19:06] <twiler> m I supposed to be able to figure this stuff out on my own, without running to the #ubuntu room in xchat every single time I download something new? I'm by no means a stupid man, but, I'll tell you what, linux will humble you a bit! Any help whatsoever is appreciated! Thanks in advance, O warlords of the Linux Underworld!
[19:07] <ioria> r08o, have you ever entered your router from browser ?
[19:07] <daftykins> twiler: saying you downloaded software, THEN installed a PPA is backwards. you add a PPA, THEN install the software from said PPA in the form of packages
[19:07] <DJones> twiler: Did you try the default ubuntu version of pan, sudo apt-get install pan?
[19:07] <daftykins> twiler: documentation tends to be the #1 way to learn how to run a program after getting it
[19:08] <genii> twiler: Binary files in linux do not generally have an extension. They are known to be binary files from the header within the file itself, and their location in the filesystem, which is traditionally /bin or /usr/bin
[19:08] <maarhart> is Jordan gone?
[19:08] <r08o> ioria, yeah, 192.168.0.1.
[19:09] <twiler> @genii: Thanks, that actually made a little bit of sense!
[19:09] <ioria> r08o, good
[19:09] <r08o> ioria, now it is trying to load web sites at least, but nothing happens. Earlier I just got server not found right away
[19:09] <r08o> ioria, still get it, but not before 30 seconds now
[19:10] <genii> twiler: If the PPA is well-behaved it will put it's files into someplace sane like /opt/PAN/bin  or similar
[19:10] <ioria> r08o, ifconfig ?
[19:10] <twiler> @daftykins: No, I didn't and now I feel kinda foolish..
[19:10] <r08o> ioria, i have ip
[19:10] <twiler> cause, I just did that, and it worked..

[19:17] <ioria> r08o, looks fine
[19:17] <r08o> ioria, wait
[19:17] <twiler> Seriously, tho, I wouldn't have still even BEEN here if it wasn't for you, dafty, and you, genii, while it hasn't been ME as much as dafty has helped me, you are always helping someone, so, on behalf of everyone who you two have helped, but perhaps never said "thanks", Thank you, both.

[19:29] <maarhart> okay thanks freeone3000. I closed the terminal and went to X11, but that was a bad idea as I cannot reconnect now.

[19:30] <ioria> r08o, did you put the passphrase ?

[19:46] <pavlos> cheapie, did anyone address your q?
[19:47] <maarhart> EriC^^: any idea? should I start over?
[19:47] <cheapie> pavlos: Not yet.
[19:47] <oats> Rondom:
[19:47] <oats> sorry
[19:47] <pavlos> cheapie, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/12/unity-3d-launcher-top-panel-doesnt-load.html
[19:47] <EriC^^> maarhart: try ssh -X user@host
[19:47] <maarhart> ok
[19:47] <maarhart> EriC^^: from a terminal or from X11? does it matter?
[19:47] <r08o> ioria, ignoring unkonwn interface wlan0=wlan0. is that correct?
=== ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho
[19:48] <ioria> r08o,  yep..
[19:48] <neldogz> brainwash, It will be my first time reporting a bug.. will be good to see how its done
[19:48] <EriC^^> maarhart: try in X11
[19:49] <maarhart> okay, I am logged now
[19:49] <EriC^^> also type echo $DISPLAY
[19:49] <EriC^^> in another terminal
[19:49] <cheapie> pavlos: Hmm... this option it mentions to use a "fallback" 2D version sounds useful, but I don't see that anywhere in lightdm's session selection menu.
[19:49] <maarhart> I get a message .Xauthority not writable
[19:49] <maarhart> changes will be ignored

[19:49] <cheapie> pavlos: (then again, I'm used to kdm on Debian, so I may be missing something)
[19:49] <ioria> r08o,  have you already installed bcmwl-kernel-source ?
[19:49] <maarhart> EriC^^: the other terminal should be X11 as well?

[19:49] <darkfrog> Hey guys, I'm running 15.04 and recently configured "Using Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary)" from "Additional Drivers".  Soon after that I started experience long pauses and programs locking up.  I disabled it (Do not use the device), but it's still happening.  Has anyone else experienced this and/or have any suggestions to resolve the problems?  I'm running a Intel i7 hexacore processor.
[19:50] <EriC^^> maarhart: yeah
[19:50] <r08o> ioria, well, now I cant ping anything
=== ceed^1 is now known as ceed^
[19:50] <maarhart> /usr/bin/xauth:  /home/maarhart/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored
[19:50] <maarhart>  
[19:50] <ioria> r08o,  ok... don't install it for now
[19:50] <r08o> ioria, Makes no sense why I was able to ping sites for small periods of time
[19:50] <pavlos> cheapie, I would try the first command (unity_support_test -p) to verify that your video is ok
[19:51] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: Have you recently installed any Boot Firmware updates ("BIOS" updates)?
[19:51] <ioria> r08o,  i know ... it depends on driver
[19:51] <cheapie> pavlos: I know acceleration's currently not working, as I removed fglrx after it broke.
[19:51] <EriC^^> maarhart: type rm /home/maarhart/.Xauthority then try again
[19:51] <maarhart> EriC^^: okay, echo $DISPLAY returns /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.en1p90i4HS/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
[19:51] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: not recently, no....I just checked to make sure I have the latest motherboard firmware though and it is, but was last updated a year ago.
[19:51] <genii> maarhart: You must have done something like sudo startx while in that directory and changed it's ownership. Suggest to: sudo chown maarhart:maarhart /home/maarhart/.Xauthority
[19:51] <cheapie> pavlos: Do you think that fixing the video will make it work?
[19:52] <pavlos> cheapie, that would be a start ... I have 15.04 on a vm and it works fine
[19:52] <maarhart> genii: okay, to late, it was removed
[19:52] <r08o> ioria, but haven't installed bcmwl-kernel-source
=== ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho
[19:53] <cheapie> pavlos: OK, I'm doing the standard stuff to clean up fglrx's mess and switch to the "radeon" driver.
[19:53] <maarhart> okay, trying ssh connection again and also the echo $DISPLAY
[19:53] <r08o> ioria, sorry, yes I have. Jesus. Needs to get used to Ubuntu
[19:53] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok
[19:53] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: Those microcode updates are usually included in boot firmware updates, Ubuntu just provides a way to have the kernel load this new microcode at boot if your boot firmware isn't doing it. So I suspect you're using the same CPU microcode either way.
[19:53] <maarhart> EriC^^: Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
[19:53] <maarhart>  
[19:53] <ioria> r08o,  purge it... are you 14.04 ?
[19:53] <maarhart> EriC^^: /usr/bin/xauth:  timeout in locking authority file /home/maarhart/.Xauthority
[19:54] <r08o> ioria, 15.04
[19:54] <ioria> r08o,  purge it
[19:54] <ioria> r08o,  and reboot
[19:54] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok, try logging out and back in
[19:54] <maarhart> you mean disconnecting ssh or what?
[19:54] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: I'm not 100% positive this is what's causing my problems, but the only two things I've changed recently were this and the video drivers (and I've switched those back since).
[19:55] <EriC^^> maarhart: no logging out of X
[19:55] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: this is causing strange issues though, like autocompletion in terminal is one of the things that pauses or a Chrome tab loading a page
[19:55] <maarhart> EriC^^: closing the X11 application?
[19:55] <EriC^^> maarhart: yes, log out completely
[19:55] <cheapie> pavlos: Well, it's still not working, and unity_support_test is indicating that software rendering is in use, even though I followed the exact same video driver repair procedure that works on Debian... is there a way to just make it use the "2D" version of Unity instead?
[19:56] <maarhart> EriC^^: logout from the mac computer?
[19:56] <mo2759> evening
[19:56]  * cheapie is still not really used to Ubuntu, his mom just demands it on her laptop
[19:56] <maarhart> EriC^^: should I also reboot ubuntu?
[19:56] <mo2759> everyone doing alright?
[19:57] <EriC^^> maarhart: no, just log out and back in
[19:57] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: That to me sounds like IO latency, which could be caused by your hard drive spinning down then taking a long time to spin back up again, something exhausting memory so that files that were cached in RAM had to be evicted, causing them to be read from disk again, or a combination of both.
[19:57] <petrvs> cheapie: smart mom
[19:57] <maarhart> EriC^^: I interpret you want me to close and reopen X11
[19:57] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: I assume that they do eventually "unpause", correct?
[19:57] <r08o> ioria, done, but still no luck
[19:57] <darthanubis> Ubuntu 15.04 has been pleasantly stable.
[19:58] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: I have 24 gig of memory
[19:58] <EriC^^> maarhart: type pkill X
[19:58] <ioria> r08o,  install  firmware-b43-installer
[19:58] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: and a 5gig swap drive
[19:58] <cheapie> petrvs: I'll admit I did force it on her at first (back before I moved to Debian on my own boxes), and now she's used to it.
[19:58] <EriC^^> maarhart: what are you using?
[19:58] <EriC^^> X11 alone?
[19:58] <maarhart> EriC^^: okay did that. Now I am reopening X11
[19:58] <petrvs> cheapie: Debian works, too
[19:59] <maarhart> EriC^^: what do you mean?
[19:59] <EriC^^> what de are you using?
[19:59] <cheapie> petrvs: Yes, but she's used to Unity (I hate it, on the other hand).
[19:59] <EriC^^> unity xfce etc
[19:59] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: I assume that they do eventually "unpause", correct?
[19:59] <acz32> darkfrog: what do you use your computer for that requires 26GBram and extra swap on top of it?
[19:59] <maarhart> lubuntu
[19:59] <maarhart> lubuntu-desktop
[19:59] <EriC^^> ok
[19:59] <petrvs> cheapie: there's not that much that is actually unique to Unity that other DEs/wms can't manage
[19:59] <r08o> ioria, done
[19:59] <petrvs> basically nothing
[19:59] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: yeah, I left it for half an hour and it finally "unstuck" and worked okay for a couple minutes and then started pausing again.
[20:00] <maarhart> okay, so again connecting via ssh
[20:00] <petrvs> it has a launcher on the left, a panel at top, and "global" menus
[20:00] <cheapie> petrvs: We're talking about somebody that needs explaining that the "import" button in Shotwell imports pictures...

[20:00] <petrvs> cheapie: still =)
[20:00] <maarhart> again, the same: Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
[20:00] <ioria> r08o,  check  iwconfig restart network-manager
[20:01] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: Please pastebin the output of "free -m", preferably while it's pausing.
[20:01] <maarhart> and /usr/bin/xauth:  file /home/maarhart/.Xauthority does not exist
[20:01] <acz32> darkfrog: cool. how much hard drive space then? curious
[20:01] <EriC^^> maarhart: type apt-cache policy xauth
[20:01] <EriC^^> is it installed?
[20:01] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: Or, for you, "free -g" might be easier to read :)
[20:01] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok, type ls -l /home/maarhart/.Xauthority

[20:03] <promet> I upgraded to 15.10 and couldn't get Unity to launch, it may have been something to do with plymouth/lightdm (nvidia proprietary driver), had to install gdm and thus gnome-shell to get to a desktop. Anyway had or heard of a similar issue?
[20:03] <EriC^^> maarhart: that's odd
[20:03] <ioria> r08o,  reinsert the dongle
[20:03] <promet> Anyway = Anyone
[20:03] <EriC^^> maarhart: what's the username on the host?

[20:04] <promet> k1l ah, yes, sorry, 15.04
[20:04] <maarhart> EriC^^: the host being the ubuntu computer we are trying to fix, right? maarhart
[20:04] <pavlos> cheapie, another person installed gdm and the launcher appeared ... you can test
[20:04] <cheapie> pavlos: Well, I might just have to put fglrx back...
[20:04] <promet> k1l, thanks for the correction
[20:04] <maarhart> EriC^^: and there are also mythtv and root

[20:04] <acz32> darkfrog: wow, that's a lot of space
[20:05] <darkfrog> acz32: I run a software development company working with clients around the world and this is just my home office server that I sync my production server backups to.
[20:06] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok, do you have xauth installed on the server?
[20:06] <AndChat513876> Help! I think I just deleted my /etc/passwd and etc/hosts files. My system can't boot any more. How do I fix it.
[20:06] <acz32> darkfrog: cool
[20:06] <EriC^^> !find .Xauthority

[20:06] <EriC^^> !find Xauthority
[20:06] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: 15:06:23 up 20 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.63, 0.59, 0.38 - I just rebooted a few minutes ago

[20:07] <maarhart> xauth is already the newest version
[20:07] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: OK, having recently rebooted those numbers are reasonable. Are you currently experiencing pauses?
[20:07] <r08o> ioria, Nothing works. Damn...
[20:07] <cheapie> Heh, I'd be happy to share the output of "uptime" on my server...

[20:08] <cheapie> Jordan_U: Okay...
[20:08] <ioria> r08o,  can you paste lsmod ?
[20:09] <maarhart> EriC^^: xauth is installed
[20:09] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: no, I'm trying to reproduce it now - it seems loading one of my projects in IntelliJ seems to cause it frequently so I'm doing that.
[20:09] <r08o> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10944515
[20:09] <pavlos> AndChat513876, you will find a copy in /var/backups
[20:09] <Jordan_U> darkfrog: Is that project being loaded from the NAS?
[20:10] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: no, from one of the SSDs
[20:10] <EriC^^> maarhart: i think you need to create that file in the remote server
[20:10] <AndChat513876> I just crashed my Ubuntu. Need help pls
[20:10] <maarhart> EriC^^: is it touch ~/.Xauthority ?
[20:11] <danbower> hey guys. i'd really appreciate a sanity check here. a few weeks ago my system produced an error relating to graphics. i can't remember the details but i had to reset. ever since  then ubuntu, even after fresh installs of the OS, fails to work with my monitor on either of the display ports. the monitor just goes into power saving mode as ubuntu starts to boot. however it does work on the DVI port. i've tried installing AMDs driver but this has been unsucces
[20:11] <danbower> sful due to fglrx failing to build correctly. i successfully installed the same driver months back
[20:12] <k1l> promet: maybe some old gnome things are broken now. you could try to look if .Xauthority belongs to user:user and not root:root
[20:12] <EriC^^> maarhart: type cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote server
[20:12] <petrvs> danbower: as in 'DisplayPort' ports?
[20:12] <k1l> promet: if that doesnt help maybe rename  the .cache and .config folders in the users /home. and see if the proper video driver is loaded
[20:12] <danbower> oddly the monitor works fine in windows but i am experiencing a rather random error quite regularly when playing dota. i've played that game many hours previously. does it sound like my graphics card is starting to die?
[20:13] <danbower> petrvs, yes that's right
[20:13] <k1l> promet: actually see if the guest account works with unity. if so its a user issue. if not its maybe a driver issue
[20:13] <EriC^^> maarhart: type grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[20:13] <promet> k1l, I will try this, thanks very much for the suggestions!
[20:13] <maarhart> Eric__: okay I got a lot of text with the cat
[20:13] <EriC^^> maarhart: try the grep command, it should be set to yes
[20:13] <danbower> the error being a BSOD and google producing a plethora of different issues relating to it
[20:14] <maarhart> EriC^^: it is set to yes
[20:14] <EriC^^> try on the second machine maybe
[20:14] <promet> k1l, .Xauthority, sure enough, belongs to root:root
[20:14] <maarhart> X11UseLocalhost no
[20:14] <ioria> r08o,  run lsusb  and try ndiswrapper -a  xxxx:xxx  bcmwlhigh5  change the x with the result after ID
[20:14] <maarhart> X11DisplayOffset 10
[20:14] <danbower> keeping in mind i've used the exact same system for a while now without issues would suggest my graphics card is dying however i'm not entirely sure
[20:14] <promet> k1l, it *should* be user:user you're saying?
[20:14] <k1l> promet: sudo chown user:user .Xauthority #change user to your actual user nick
[20:15] <maarhart> EriC^^: try what on the mac os machine?
[20:15] <promet> k1l, roger that
[20:15] <vanberge1> crontab sanity check:  Will this execute on the 2nd tuesday of every month?   0 1 7-14 2 /path/to/myscript
[20:15] <EriC^^> maarhart: grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[20:16] <maarhart> EriC^^: mac os x does not have grep I think
[20:16] <promet> k1l, did this via ssh from work, will test the Unity launch when I get home, thanks much
[20:16] <danbower> petrvs, what are your thoughts? i'm not exactly looking for a solution, i've been dicking around with this for a while now, but i've been mulling it over so long i'd just like to see what others think given what has happened
[20:17] <danbower> it's all rather odd
[20:17] <maarhart> EriC^^: grep: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: No such file or directory
[20:17] <maarhart>  
[20:17] <EriC^^> vanberge1: that doesn't make sense, 7-14 is 1 week's difference
[20:17] <vanberge1> my theory is that it will execute on day of the week "2" only on days 7-14

[20:18] <Monika> Into which folder on a server do I need to put a id_rsa.pub file so that I can connect via ssh?
[20:19] <maarhart> EriC^^: now what?  :-(
[20:19] <Pici> vanberge1: no, thats every 1 am on the 7-14th of february
[20:19] <pavlos> vanberge1, see section 3. http://www.adminschoice.com/crontab-quick-reference
[20:19] <cheapie> Monika: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2, I think.,
[20:19] <r08o> ioria, done, reset network-manager, dongle in out, still no connection
[20:19] <EriC^^> vanberge1: nevermind what i said
[20:19] <petrvs> https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/
[20:19] <danbower> petrvs, the installation process is all automated, i just ran it from the CLI using `sh`
[20:19] <petrvs> mm
[20:19] <Monika> thanks cheapie
[20:19] <petrvs> danbower: Ubuntu way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD
[20:19] <cheapie> Monika: The "authorized_keys2" is the file name, I think you can just append new keys to it.
[20:20] <Monika> ah
[20:20] <Monika> how?
[20:20] <vanberge1> Pici: so I've got it right then.  it will execute on tuesday only between days 7-14
[20:20] <ioria> r08o,  sorry man   run out of ideas for now
[20:20] <cheapie> Monika: Something along the lines of "cat id_rsa.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2"
[20:20] <danbower> do you not find it odd that the drivers that come with ubuntu, which have previously worked, now fail to work when my monitor uses the display ports?
[20:21] <r08o> ioria, it's okay. I am amazed you even wanted to spend so much time helping me. Thanks a lot!
[20:21] <maarhart> EriC^^: I should go to sleep. Is there anything else I could do?
[20:21] <danbower> i've tried various methods of installing drivers and different versions but they all fail to install without issue
[20:21] <petrvs> danbower: I would if it were my box, but on my box I would've been paying attention to what went on
[20:21] <ioria> r08o,  maybe later... let us know ifit solves bye
[20:22] <EriC^^> vanberge1: i think you're on to something, check man 5 crontab
[20:23] <EriC^^> # Run on every second Saturday of the month
[20:23] <danbower> petrvs, i don't get what you mean exactly. even without elaborating, my explanation was a wall of text. i'll elaborate if you have specific questions to help nail down the issue
[20:23] <EriC^^>        0 4 8-14 * *    test $(date +\%u) -eq 6 && echo "2nd Saturday"
[20:23] <petrvs> danbower: either your software has changed, or your hardware has died
[20:23] <petrvs> it's probably the former
[20:23] <petrvs> and likely not a result of magic
[20:23] <maarhart> EriC^^: did you gave up with this?
[20:23] <petrvs> so you might go through your logs and find out what changed the last day it worked
[20:24] <EriC^^> vanberge1: i think it would be like 8-10
[20:24] <EriC^^> not sure
[20:24] <EriC^^> maarhart: no, you have to get xauth on the remote server to make .Xauthority
[20:24] <EriC^^> maarhart: i found how to make it manually if you want
[20:25] <EriC^^> http://www.biac.duke.edu/library/documentation/xwin32/security.html#xauth
[20:25] <EriC^^> but ssh is supposed to call xauth and have it make it for you it seems

[20:25] <rudi_STEiN> Hi, does anyone know how to retrieve files that are on a LiveCD? RE: I downloaded a file on my LiveCD - and now I want to open it on my Mac. I see a bunch of files and folders, and have poked around in them (even searched), and can't find the files. Is it in an image file or something?
[20:26] <danbower> petrvs, well if i had done something unusual around the time the low-graphics error occurred it would have been my first port of call. however it all came about all of a sudden
[20:26] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: well, for the moment at least everything seems to be working fine again
[20:26] <promet> just in case though, does anyone know a safe way to deactivate plymouth in 15.04?
[20:26] <petrvs> danbower: I know, but since we don't believe in magic, you probably just didn't notice something instead
[20:27] <maarhart> EriC^^: I am about to give up with all this
[20:27] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: it's strange...when I first started talking to you the screens wigged out for a second (I have four monitors) and it was all screwed up, but then suddenly it all corrected and everything working fine now...
[20:28] <qu4nt1n> !s avengers
[20:29] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: I'm going to reboot again and see how it's acting then. BRB
[20:30] <EriC^^> maarhart: type echo $DISPLAY on your machine
[20:30] <danbower> petrvs, unless ubuntu silently updates itself there were no changes some 48 hours before the error occurred. considering i've already mentioned i've done fresh installs with nothing unusual, i don't think it's a software issue
[20:30] <EriC^^> get the <name>:<number> part like in the link
[20:31] <maarhart> EriC^^:/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.en1p90i4HS/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
[20:31] <maarhart>  
[20:31] <EriC^^> maarhart: then type xauth <name>:<number> . abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789
[20:31] <EriC^^> in the remote machine
[20:31] <EriC^^> sorry xauth add <name>:.......
[20:32] <maarhart> but I am not using X11 anymore. Too many cut and paste issues
[20:32] <danbower> petrvs, reaffirming that i've used a live CD i burned about six months ago and that fails to work on the display ports
[20:32] <EriC^^> maarhart: type ls -l /home/maarhart/.Xauthority on the remote machine first
[20:33] <maarhart> -rw------- 1 maarhart maarhart 50 Apr 29 23:30 /home/maarhart/.Xauthority
[20:33] <maarhart>  
[20:33] <EriC^^> ok
[20:33] <EriC^^> try the xauth add command
[20:33] <EriC^^> or try ssh -Xvvv user@host and see if it mentions more info
[20:34] <maarhart> so the name of the machine is the IP, right?
[20:34] <EriC^^> yeah
[20:35] <maarhart> the IP of the mac os x machine, right?
[20:36] <yacxcin> I have an application document i need to fill , using "Document Viewer " but it doesnt read arabic language , I have arabic language support installed though
[20:36] <EriC^^> maarhart: i think it's the hostname
[20:37] <maarhart> EriC^^: so <name> is the hostname of the mac, and number is the ip of the mac?
[20:37] <EriC^^> no, number is the $DISPLAY
[20:38] <acz32> yacxcin: is it a pdf file?
[20:38] <maarhart> EriC^^: is the number all this? /private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.en1p90i4HS/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
[20:38] <maarhart>  
[20:38] <EriC^^> i think it's just 0
[20:39] <danbower> i've started experiencing issues where ubuntu doesn't work with my monitor when i use the DisplayPort input on my graphics card. i've tried using a liveCD i burned about six months ago, which at the time definitely worked with my monitor, but that fails to work too. coupled with me now getting BSOD whilst gaming in windows, does this suggest a hardware fault with my graphics card?
[20:39] <maarhart> okay, I did that
[20:39] <acz32> yacxcin: you may want to give okular a try. i don't think evince (document viewer) is that featureful
[20:39] <maarhart> now what should I do?
[20:39] <yacxcin> acz32> yes it's a pdf file !
[20:39] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok try ssh -Xvvv user@host
[20:40] <maarhart> so I logout
[20:40] <EriC^^> maarhart: or try just ssh user@host , then export DISPLAY=<name>:<number>
[20:40] <EriC^^> try ssh -X first
[20:40] <sveinse> Are there any vms that run on windows that can handle unity and gnome shell? After this extensive 3D usage, my virtualbox goes into fetal position
[20:41] <maarhart> export display should be in the ssh session or in the mac?
[20:41] <chucktesta`> hi ubuntu peoples - might someone help me understand why having ubuntu installed onto the dom has any effect on whether serial ports work in a liveusb setting?
[20:41] <EriC^^> maarhart: ssh
[20:41] <Jordan_U> sveinse: I believe that VMWare has good virtual graphics drivers.
[20:42] <sveinse> Jordan_U: for free as well?
[20:42] <maarhart> EriC^^: okay, now what?
[20:42] <EriC^^> maarhart: try xeyes
[20:42] <maarhart> Error: Can't open display: iMac.home:0
[20:43] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok, in mac type scp user@host:/home/maarhart/.Xauthority /home/<user>/.Xauthority
[20:44] <thms> If you run multiple php versions on a single server, how do you choose the one you want to use ?
[20:45] <EriC^^> maarhart: also xhost +
[20:45] <octopissy> I messed up.
[20:45] <Jordan_U> sveinse: VMware player is free as in beer, but limited and proprietary.
[20:45] <octopissy> I was trying to fix a problem earlier and now I broke my Ubuntu settings so that I cant get visual when rebooting.
[20:46] <octopissy> I am using a live USB now.
[20:46] <octopissy> what can I do_
[20:46] <pavlos> yacxcin, Document Viewer can display a pdf that has arabic chars
[20:46] <Jordan_U> octopissy: What did you do that broke getting to a GUI?
[20:46] <octopissy> Probably used unstable drivers.
[20:47] <sveinse> Jordan_U: Ah, player cannot be used commercially :(
[20:47] <octopissy> I followed these instructions> http://giantdorks.org/alain/1920x1080-resolution-on-dell-latitude-e6520-with-nvidia-nvs-4200m-card-running-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid/
[20:47] <maarhart> EriC^^: okay. access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[20:47] <maarhart>  
[20:47] <yacxcin> <pavlos> mine doesn't display
[20:47] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok
[20:48] <pavlos> yacxcin, I have 14.04, d/l a sample pdf that has arabic chars and DV can display it
[20:48] <maarhart> EriC^^: and now?
[20:48] <EriC^^> maarhart: try running xeyes
[20:48] <yacxcin> pavlos> I have  14.10
[20:49] <pavlos> yacxcin, well, I cannot test ...
[20:49] <octopissy> how can I change the graphics drivers in my installation from live USB_
[20:49] <maarhart> Error: Can't open display: iMac.home:0
[20:49] <EriC^^> maarhart: did you run the scp command?
[20:50] <maarhart> EriC^^: yes
[20:50] <EriC^^> maarhart: try ssh -Y user@host
[20:51] <Jordan_U> octopissy: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:51] <octopissy> Ubuntu 15.04
[20:51] <maarhart> okay, and xeyes
[20:52] <maarhart> okay xeyes working now
[20:52] <Jordan_U> octopissy: Two things to note for future reference. 1: You should almost never use guides for a different version of Ubuntu that you have and 2: You should avoid blog posts, and instead look for official documentation.
[20:52] <EriC^^> maarhart: ok, cool
[20:52] <maarhart> now what?
[20:52] <EriC^^> what do you mean?
[20:52] <EriC^^> what are you trying to do?
[20:53] <pavlos> octopissy, software & updates, last tab, additional drivers
[20:53] <maarhart> EriC^^: my issue is that if I reboot my laptop with the lid closed, I see grub, I see the ubuntu splash, but then the external display goes off
[20:53] <maarhart> and the internal display as well
[20:53] <octopissy> pavlos: so that will change it in my actual installation as well_
[20:53] <octopissy> ?
[20:53] <maarhart> and I cannot do anything, I just have to press the power button so it shuts down
[20:54] <pavlos> octopissy, you have 15.04, not running LIVE? you should have some additional drivers in that tab
[20:54] <EriC^^> why did you want to make X forwarding?
[20:54] <Jordan_U> pavlos: octopissy: That doesn't apply to drivers installed manually from Nvidia's website, as the blog post octopissy followed told them to do.
[20:54] <octopissy> pavlos I am running Ubuntu from a USB stick, not my actual installation.
[20:54] <maarhart> I have no idea, Jordan suggested to do that
[20:54] <EriC^^> Jordan_U: why did you suggest X forwarding?
[20:54] <Jordan_U> EriC^^: I didn't.
[20:55] <octopissy> I am running Ubuntu from a USB stick because I cant get GUI in my actual installation.
[20:55] <maarhart> well you suggested to connect via ssh
[20:55] <EriC^^> maarhart: you don't need X forwarding for that
[20:55] <daftykins> !chroot | octopissy
[20:55] <ubottu> octopissy: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot
[20:55] <Jordan_U> maarhart: Yes, to run things like "systemctl status lightdm".
[20:55] <EriC^^> just ssh user@host and check the logs
[20:55] <maarhart> okay, so shall I run that?
[20:56] <Jordan_U> octopissy: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid".
[20:56] <maarhart> here it is http://pastebin.com/ZS0VpF9F

[21:02] <darkfrog> Jordan_U: I'm not 100% sure, but I did purge all reference to the intel-microcode
[21:02] <octopissy> so, any tips on what I can do?
[21:02] <petrvs> irc_: bye

[21:09] <DrGrov> I saw some kernel updated packages on 14.04 for 3.16.0-36-48 and 3.13.0-51-84.
[21:10] <DrGrov> Any particular one I should install in order to get a more stable system?
[21:10] <octopissy> how can I change the graphics driver in my Ubuntu installation when I boot from a USB_
[21:10] <octopissy> ?
[21:10] <maarhart> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/QfVgrgCR
[21:12] <DrGrov> Perhaps I should post a screenshot of what I am talking about in order to get some info on what to do with all these kernel things? :)
[21:15] <maarhart> Jordan_U: that was the output

[21:20] <Guest1571> Hi, I am running xubuntu. I am having an audio/video playback issue. It appears that all playback on every program has the same identical problem. The playback speed is incorrect and running too fast (noticeable by the playbackg clock) while at the same time the audio and video are choppy. I tried updating adobe flash with several browsers ,reinstalling the codecs, and finally reinstalling xubuntu. I also tried changing the latency
[21:21] <maarhart> Jordan_U: now what?
[21:21] <octopissy> Jordan_U: ok, done.
[21:21] <Bashing-om> DrGrov: Tlugh call.

[21:21] <Jordan_U> maarhart: I don't have any other ideas at the moment :(
[21:22] <Jordan_U> octopissy: sudo chroot /mnt/
[21:22] <Jordan_U> octopissy: Your prompt should now end with "#" instead of "$". Do you know where you stored the nvidia installer you downloaded?
[21:22] <octopissy> yeah.
[21:23] <octopissy> its in my home folder in a download folder.
[21:23] <k1l> Bashing-om: if you enable enablement stack you would get the 3.16 kernel too
[21:23] <octopissy> this is wonderful stuff, Jordan_U. thanks so much for the help.
[21:23] <octopissy> what do I do now though?
[21:23] <Jordan_U> octopissy: OK, within this chroot run it again as "/home/octopissy/Downloads/filename.run --uninstall".
[21:24] <Jordan_U> octopissy: You can use tab completion to enter the filename.
[21:24] <Bashing-om> k1l: Thanks, but I choose not to go there , The kernel is happy with my old hardware .
[21:24] <k1l> Bashing-om: yes. just pointing to the 3.16er kernel named by drgov who is gone anyway
[21:25] <Guest19983> hi guys, I don't know what I've done, but it seems now that I have to giver every command a permission.
[21:25] <k1l> Guest19983: what do you mean?
[21:25] <Bashing-om> k1l .. opps .. I missed that 3.16 !
[21:26] <octopissy> Jordan_U: appears to be working.
[21:26] <octopissy> Jordan_U: should I replace the driver with something?
[21:26] <Guest19983> k1l: for example, when I want to rename a file in the home directory, I have to do a sudo
[21:27] <tgm4883> Guest19983: what is the output of "ls -l ~/"
[21:27] <k1l> Guest19983: doing a "ls -al" in terminal in your home.
[21:27] <tgm4883> Guest19983: and also "ls -l /home"
[21:27] <yuciyuar> hi. why cant i find updated repositories for applications at 12.04 lts? isnt it supported more 2 years? or any option to open updated repos?
[21:27] <k1l> Guest19983: i bet there is a lot owned by root:root, right? that started when you used sudo once (where it was not meant to be used) and now the file permissions are ruined
[21:28] <Guest19983> tgm4883: drwx
[21:28] <Jordan_U> octopissy: When it's done reboot and see if you can get a GUI now. If you get a GUI but still want better performance, then use the "Additional Drivers" tool to install nvidia drivers from Ubuntu's repositories, which is the method of installing that's actually supported.
[21:28] <tgm4883> yuciyuar: yes, you're getting security updates and such
[21:28] <octopissy> Jordan_U: well, I did that earlier but that didnt fix my original issues.
[21:28] <Bashing-om> !latest | yuciyuar
[21:28] <ubottu> yuciyuar: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.
[21:28] <tgm4883> Guest19983: that isn't a possible answer to the question. Please pastebin the output
[21:28] <k1l> yuciyuar: ubuntu 12.04 got 5 years support. but there are just few packages which get version updates (but all packages get security updates)
[21:28] <octopissy> Jordan_U: but I will reboot and see if it works. thanks so much.
[21:29] <Jordan_U> octanium: You're welcome.
[21:30] <yuciyuar> so installing current LEMP stacks is bad idea?
[21:30] <Ben64> yuciyuar: don't mix different ubuntu versions
[21:30] <Ben64> told you this a few hours ago
[21:30] <yuciyuar> dude, what u mean with mix?
[21:30] <yuciyuar> other ppa's mean mixing?
[21:31] <Ben64> you can only use 12.04 stuff with 12.04
[21:31] <sunstar> how to netflix in linux?
[21:31] <genii> !netflix | sunstar

[21:36] <maarhart> okay, thanks jordan and eric. going to sleep!
[21:36] <Captonjamason> im talking on a seperate Ubuntu Studio partition
[21:36] <mcphail> sunstar: easiest way is to install google chrome and run netflix from there. I found the compholio system awful
[21:37] <k1l> Captonjamason: then mount the other system partition and see the logs (dmesg, xorg.log) what is going wrong
[21:37] <Captonjamason> on it
[21:37] <Captonjamason> where can i find all the logs
[21:38] <k1l> /var/log
[21:38] <k1l> on the mounted other partition. not on the system partition you are running right now. that doesnt have the issues
[21:38] <Captonjamason> yep
[21:38] <Captonjamason> i know
[21:39] <maarhart> exit
[21:40] <sdfgsdfg> I had to interrupt and restart during ubuntu update to 15 and now it says the package system is crazy... Did this dpkg --configure -a but it's still crazy
[21:41] <k1l> sdfgsdfg: "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

[21:46] <Captonjamason> i hope that helps KiL
[21:46] <Captonjamason> or whatever your username is
[21:48] <yuciyuar> can i control graphical settings like optimising contrast, on a open source graphic driver? is there an application for this?
[21:48] <Captonjamason> klL
[21:49] <Captonjamason> theres a few pastebins for you
[21:49] <k1l> Captonjamason: its a 1 in the middle :)
[21:49] <Captonjamason> ok?
[21:49] <Captonjamason> i dont really understand
[21:49] <Captonjamason> how can one fix this
[21:50] <k1l> can you show the syslog?
[21:50] <Captonjamason> on it
[21:51] <k1l> the difference on the logs is, that with every reboot the log gets renamed to "log"+1. so you can see the last some reboots
[21:51] <Captonjamason> ahh
[21:52] <k1l> the last xorg.log from last boot got an error (which i dont understand) but the timecode says that error was long after the start.
[21:52] <k3asd`> someone know a burning software by command line?
[21:53] <k1l> k3asd`: cd/dvd?
[21:53] <k1l> k3asd`: cdrecord/wodim/burn
[21:53] <k3asd`> k1l: both if possible
[21:54] <k1l> cdrecord could be deprecated
[21:54] <k3asd`> k1l: where's the best?
[21:54] <k3asd`> what*
[21:54] <petrvs> probably cdrkit
[21:54] <petrvs> which is wodim
[21:54] <petrvs> which has cdrecord aliases
[21:54] <petrvs> tldr: cdrecord
[21:54] <petrvs> or growisofs for dvds
[21:54] <Captonjamason> k1l: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10945487/ its a very long log
[21:54] <k1l> honestly i only use(d) brasero in last years.
[21:55] <bekks> k3b
[21:55] <k3asd`> I want use the burning software only via command line
[21:55] <bekks> So your best bets are cdrecord and wodim
[21:56] <Captonjamason> i perfer brasero
[21:56] <petrvs> he said commandline =)
[21:56] <Captonjamason> oh
[21:57] <Captonjamason> didnt notice that
[21:57] <petrvs> haven't burnt a coaster in ages
[21:57]  * petrvs feels good about that
[21:57] <k3asd`> I know if it's possibile use brasero via command line
[21:58] <k3asd`> petrvs: I'll use wodim
[21:58] <k3asd`> it's already installed
[21:59] <Captonjamason> hey k1d i dont know if your reading it now but the sys log is here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10945487/
[22:02] <petrvs> k3asd`: mmm
[22:02] <petrvs> IIRC wodim is just another name for cdrkit is just another name for forked cdrecord
[22:04] <Guest1571> Is there anyone here that could help with an a/v issue?
[22:04] <petrvs> no harm teaching your brain not to use cdrecord now, though
[22:04] <petrvs> if you haven't already

[22:12] <Captonjamason> will that involve losing files?
[22:12] <Captonjamason> to fix

[22:24] <Captonjamason> what are you using for playback guest?
[22:24] <Guest21070> tried several browsers chromium, chrome, firefox with youtube playback,But also gmusicbrowser does the same thing with mp3s
[22:25] <Guest21070> updated proper flash and reinstalled codecs
[22:25] <Captonjamason> 1: in youtube playback try checking the little settings gear, that can sometimes have speed turned up 2: try using VLC for mp3's
[22:26] <Captonjamason> im not sure about anything else
[22:26] <Guest21070> will try now

[22:59] <[7hunderbird]> is anyone else having a problem where after a fresh install of ubuntu desktop the UI doesn't start?
[22:59] <Captonjamason> did you install server?
[23:00] <explosive> [7hunderbird]: black screen?
[23:00] <Captonjamason> or standard desktop
[23:00] <[7hunderbird]> 12.04.05 LTS desktop 64
[23:00] <Captonjamason> you might want to update to 14.04
[23:00] <Captonjamason> lts
[23:01] <Captonjamason> i had huge problems with 12.04
[23:02] <[7hunderbird]> we use 12.04 in our configuration managment software (re: puppet) and we're still in the process of making our modules compatible with 14.04
[23:02] <Captonjamason> ok
[23:03] <[7hunderbird]> I basically downloaded from a torrent, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads and this link => http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[23:04] <[7hunderbird]> but from that most recent version I'm kinda shocked that installing via VMWare fusion I get to the signin screen, it signs in and goes to a black screen
[23:06] <daftykins> [7hunderbird]: are you using any of VMware's helpful OS installation features? or doing it all by hand
[23:06] <[7hunderbird]> I used the easy install method, yes
[23:06] <daftykins> that was probably unwise.
[23:07] <daftykins> technically, you installing from 12.04.5 media will practically be 14.04 as it'll have 14.04's hardware enablement stack
[23:07] <[7hunderbird]> doubtful
[23:07] <daftykins> which means its' kernel (v3.13) and X stack
[23:07] <[7hunderbird]> it's done it many times before
[23:07] <daftykins> well i steer clear of that feature :)
[23:08] <daftykins> anyway, perhaps you have a vmware driver issue in the guest
[23:09] <[7hunderbird]> there is potential for that
=== richard is now known as Guest65013

[23:37] <alazare619> other then zfs and btrfs how can you software raid?

[23:37] <daftykins> !raid
[23:37] <ubottu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[23:38] <alazare619> so with those if i were to take it to another machine
[23:38] <alazare619> like zfs
[23:38] <alazare619> will the os automatically know its a raid set and want to rebuild?
[23:39] <daftykins> rebuilds are what are done when a member disk fails
[23:39] <daftykins> and you add one in to replace it
[23:39] <Grimsley> I thought ZFS support under linux was still somewhat poor over BSD, has that changed?
[23:39] <daftykins> no it's still true, i think there is a Linux that supports it but i don't think it's Ubuntu
[23:39] <wafflejock> Grimsley, believe it just lags behind whereas you have more active development in BSD
[23:40] <daftykins> when i say support i don't mean "it works" i mean, they actually provide support
[23:40] <Grimsley> well they're doing their best to make it the default FS though PCBSD is pushing forward with btfs as their default
[23:40] <wafflejock> personally haven't tried zfs or btrfs yet have heard nightmares of system problems with btrfs but nothing really except lack of features in zfs
[23:41] <[7hunderbird]> I got it to work daftykins in VMWare by tweaking a couple of things.  1) did the manual install 2) turned off 3d accel support on vmware fusion
[23:41] <Guest21070> <Captonjamason>  Are you there?
[23:41] <alazare619> the os im moving to has zfs support im on arch currently but will be moving back to debian base for my nas
[23:41] <daftykins> [7hunderbird]: hmm, ok - so it is the driver in the guest most likely - if you booted it with 3D again and pastebin'd the /var/log/Xorg.0.log i'd be interested to see what it's up to
[23:42] <alazare619> alot of os's have zfs support it works well but is mana (read ram) hungry
[23:42] <Grimsley> I don't have much need for zfs at the moment so ext4 works well enough for me.
[23:42] <daftykins> ZFS is more than just an FS so you can't really compare it like that :)
[23:42] <wafflejock> yeah I like the concept of ZFS snapshots but no hands on yet.. one of these days
[23:42] <alazare619> i just deleted 3 tb's worth of stuff to consolidate 3 drives worth of shit into 1 so i can actually build a software raid

[23:54] <andy__> Hi.
[23:54] <Guest21070> Any one out there an expert in A/V playback issues?
[23:54] <andy__> I have a computer that got hit by lightning.
[23:54] <andy__> The ethernet card was replaced.
[23:55] <bazhang> try ##hardware andy__
[23:55] <Guest21070> That is funny and sucks at the same time.
[23:55] <andy__> Hold on.
[23:55] <andy__> With the old network card in place, I think Linux has trouble connecting sometimes.
[23:55] <Guest21070> ## hardware andy__
[23:56] <wafflejock> Guest21070, yeah not sure about debugging that further really, typically only problems I've had with video were like daftykins already mentioned if there wasn't a driver installed yet so it wasn't getting any GPU acceleration but if that's the case would expect a core of your CPU to be consumed
[23:56] <daftykins> andy__: was there an ubuntu support question in there somewhere? :)
[23:56] <andy__> Yes.
[23:56] <andy__> Windows has no trouble with this.
[23:57] <andy__> I am wondering how to know which ethernet card is which in the network settings.
[23:57] <andy__> I think I want to only look at one network card, and remove the other one from being scanned.
[23:58] <Guest21070> wafflejock. ok, that makes sense, but what if the driver is incorrect. This is a notebook with an atom processor.
[23:59] <wafflejock> andy__, can check ifconfig and lshw
[23:59] <wafflejock> andy__, sudo lshw, will show all your hardware details the "Serial #" in there appears to match the "HW address" for ifconfig (think this is the MAC address but not positive)
[23:59] <andy__> Great.
