[00:00] wafflejock Could that be a problem? Is it because it is a notebook and not a laptop? [00:00] andy__: read the MACs [00:00] yep MAC addresses are unique per NIC [00:01] I just upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 I usually use ALT+number key to change which channel I am viewing in my terminal with irssi (equivalent to /win ) but this isn't working.. what has changed? How do I address this? [00:01] time to make the switch to ubuntu again, hopefully 15.04 recognises my 2nd graphics card and monitor. [00:01] I did see the mac addresses under the network connections. They did not seem to be useful. [00:02] The ifconfig seemed more useful. [00:02] RepThis1: doubt it, having two in at once is a bit niche [00:02] Guest21070, not really just a matter of different names for almost the same stuff regarding notebook/netbook/laptop/ultrabook ultimately all that matters is the chipsets/hardware under the hood, atom processors are meant to be low power so I wouldn't imagine that by itself would be great for graphics performance but typically you'll have an Intel chipset at least for doing basic GPU tasks [00:02] It shows eth0 has sent 0 bytes, and eth1 has sent plenty. [00:03] RepThis1: boot into a livecd environment first and check === it is now known as Guest44509 [00:04] i dont boot into your peoples fancy live cd enviroments, i am a man, i go in blindly and with force. [00:04] RepThis1: so you're stupid, ok. [00:04] good luck [00:05] no i just got pro terminal skills [00:06] and am not afraid to flail around for a bit [00:06] wafflejock Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I wanted to make sure my intel chipset was supported but I got lost in the terminology; specifically in what my terminal was saying and what the ubuntu website was saying. They didn't exactly match up. [00:06] Guest21070, my laptop is an i7 2.4 GHz with Intel HD 4000 graphics chipset (not great GPU but fine for HD video), so the CPU in here is faster but also more power hungry and creates a lot of heat whereas the machine you have will likely last longer on battery and be comfortable to use without producing a lot of heat, it may just be that the machine you're working on doesn't have the "horsepower" to deal with the kind of video yo [00:06] u're trying to watch in which case there's not a lot you can do... [00:07] hello folks, I'm having an issue with colors being reversed in a fresh vivid inastall. not all colors just a handful, like red is blue and blue is red and teal was yellow and yellow was teal. any thoughts? [00:07] say again [00:07] Guest21070, regarding support typically the intel drivers shipped with Ubuntu work out of the box without the need to activate or anything, with other GPUs you can install alternative drivers but intel it's pretty much built in [00:09] will Ubuntu work well on a Microsoft Surface? [00:09] utu8o, ask in #ubuntu-touch [00:10] some report success, but there's a certain risk to buying a device with Microsoft as the brand and expecting Linux to work well on it [00:10] how can you get `dpkg-reconfigure` to assume yes to all interactive questions? [00:10] utu8o: ^ i would only buy stuff that's meant to work. [00:10] wafflejock This isn't a out of the box experience. Pardon the French, but some idiot tried to install Windows 7 onto a 1Gb system. I'm attempting to fix because Microsoft doesn't support XP any longer. [00:10] anyone know of a virt-management application for lxc for windows [00:11] utu8o: depends on you beeing able to boot other OS on that device at all. [00:11] my server is headless and rather then ssh it would be nice [00:12] Guest21070, yeah if you're using plain Ubuntu you may consider installing the Unity Tweak tool and disable some of the features of the interface that'll lag the graphics performance like the blurring of stuff behind the dash, or consider using Ubuntu Gnome edition or even something lighter like Xubuntu so there isn't as much overhead for the desktop environment itself, 1GB is pretty limited too wouldn't be surprised if it's hitt [00:12] ing the HDD/swap a lot since it probably eats through that RAM pretty fast [00:13] wafflejock I am using Xubuntu [00:13] ah k well that eliminates all of that [00:15] wafflejock What about the MBR?... The computer was being used by my gf's daughter without virus protection. [00:17] Guest21070, sorry not sure what you're asking there what about the MBR? [00:17] wafflejock Master boot record [00:17] wafflejock It had a browser hijacker [00:18] wafflejock It had a browser hijacker and I couldn't reinstall Win7 [00:20] wafflejock I fought it with virus protection, but probably didn't fully remove the damage. I'm wondering if it could have possibly affected the Maste Boot Record [00:20] Guest21070, right, I'm aware of what you meant by the acronym but what's the question exactly? worried about possible corruption or something? if during the install you choose to wipe the disk I believe this includes wiping out and rewriting the MBR but I'm not sure on the details with that better to ask the room in general if you need help on that [00:21] OK LETS set that aside [00:23] wafflejock Yeah, I've looked for solutions, but I'm still stuck on verifying my driver and hardware are compatable.. Do you know how to do that?? [00:23] Guest21070, yeah not sure about Xubuntu (have limited experience with it) but most Ubuntu installs you have "Additonional Drivers" (was called jockey at least at some point) but if you can pull that up can see if you have any options for other GPU drivers but aside from that only other thing I can think is to put a CPU control on there for performance vs on demand vs powersave mode which I assume the processor probably supports [00:23] (some kind of power stepping) [00:24] Guest21070, you can get a list of what hardware is using what kernel modules as is with, lspci -k [00:25] wafflejock. ok working on it [00:35] open source software is patriarchy, its software whose code is left bare and naked like an objectified woman being raped [00:35] wafflejock. no additional drives available working on hardware list. [00:36] wafflejock Got list. How to send 2 u?

Version 1:1.0.0.48-1ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 853 kB, installed size 2658 kB (Only available for i386) [00:40] Guest21070, you can just post it to pastebin (or paste.ubuntu.com), ultimately though just googling for various device ids typically helps you find the most relevant info so long as you can identify what device(s) you're interested in (in this case any sort of GPU) if you can't find what you want in the list feel free to share it [00:40] urielsalis_: open settings > software & updates and enable multiverse first [00:40] I read that, but it shows errors about 32 bit libs and before it was showing a segmentation fault and askubuntu said that I should use propiertary drivers (after installing with open source one) [00:40] Guest21070, device id is the chunk of numbers at the beginning of each line [00:41] urielsalis_: ok give it a shot and let me know [00:42] urielsalis_: did you install the proprietary drivers? [00:42] wafflejock Will try to google, first. [00:42] Eric__, not yet [00:42] urielsalis_: do you know how? [00:43] Eric__, usc, edit, software sources, additional drivers, fglrx-updates [00:45] Eric__, tank, it works now. I was forgetting of enabling multiverse ID-10-T :P [00:45] urielsalis_: ok :) [00:46] urielsalis_: if you find that it runs hot, you could give fglrx a shot, they seemed to run better on mine [00:46] ok, thanks :) [00:46] sure === Finetunrda_ is now known as Finetundra [00:52] So i booted my Ubuntu 15.04 system today and i see the following message: Welcome to emergency mode! [00:52] Can anyone help me with this? [00:52] does it say anything before that? [00:52] * daftykins would restart [00:52] yeah that's worth a shot [00:55] restarting brings me back to the same message [00:55] neldogz: are there any other messages? [00:56] before the emergency mode message I saw a message that stated: A start job is running for dev-sdb1.device and theres a count down 1min 30s [00:56] ok, do you have a separate /boot? [00:56] do i smell encryption? [00:57] EriC^^: everything is installed under / but this system was installed on Raid 0.. no encryption, no LVM [00:57] i'd probably fire up a live session and see if they've desynced [00:57] er, if RAID 1 [00:57] or just check the disk health [00:58] daftykins: it's raid 0 and they are SSD's [00:58] * daftykins wonders why people do that [00:58] daftykins: mostly just because its possible :) [00:59] I'm having a problem with my laptop screen waking after suspend. I tried installing a new driver through the intel graphics installer but it says my distro is not suppourted. I downloaded the correct version for amd64 version of ubuntu [00:59] yeah i would not recommend ever trying to use this pesky intel driver installer [00:59] just keep your kernel up to date and all will be well [00:59] daftykins, ya I am running the i915 driver right now [01:00] I tried installing xorg-server-intel pacakge in apt-get but there are broken dependencies === Ganja_Boy is now known as James` [01:01] wafflejock.

[01:17] neldogz, i guess... is it critical enough to keep from upgrading until fixed? [01:18] jnoob22: I have an AMD processor and chipset on my system and Ubuntu 15.04 now provides a proprietary driver for the microcode.. I installed it and then was experiencing intermittant boot issues. Removed it and was fine. [01:19] intermitent* [01:20] jnoob22: i still recommend upgrading. But if you have an AMD system prob best to stay away from that driver for now. [01:21] neldogz, thanks for the heads up. mine is amd64. I better hold off for a bit. [01:21] im still at 14.04.2 [01:21] jnoob22: 14.04.2 is rock solid :) [01:22] as long as it's on 3.13 [01:22] neldogz, yeah it's my work laptop. === ac is now known as Guest73606 [01:22] works like a charm, have never had any issues as long as i kept it up to date -- which i have been doing this time around. === len is now known as Guest4143 [01:28] jnoob22: this is the bug i reported today: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amd64-microcode/+bug/1450188 [01:28] Launchpad bug 1450188 in amd64-microcode (Ubuntu) "Intermittent boot issues if the proprietary amd64-microcode package is installed on Ubuntu 15.04" [Undecided,New] [01:29] thanks neldogz [01:33] jnoob22: anytime :) [01:33] Hey guys, I was looking for a plex how to for 14.04 desktop but can't seem to find anything, any ideas?

This is a list of available WMs. Do some research, find one you like, and try it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_X_window_managers [05:15] although not to long ago i was watching a video and they were talking about some window manager that people uses that would like spit there windows across screen/s or something? [05:15] !flavors | RepThis1 (aternatively, try some of the supplied desktop-* packages) [05:15] RepThis1 (aternatively, try some of the supplied desktop-* packages): !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, !Xubuntu and !Lubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with GNOME, KDE, Xfce, and LXDE (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [05:16] well i actually saw something but was wondering if there was anything else. The software they were talking about was this. http://glx-dock.org/ [05:16] RepThis1: you can install that on top of a number of WMs [05:17] somsip: ok, but is there anything else like this? im not talking about Desktop environments like kde, xfce, gnome.

[05:29] N3X15: lol, i just came from openSUSE on KDE and i gotta say i was not a fan, it was unpleasant/dated to look at and there were so many features to go through it was daunting. So i doubt I will ever go near that again until some time. [05:30] evenin' [05:35] Yeah [05:36] I'm considering switching to gnome again just so I get a usable WM. [05:36] well thats unfortunate, I didnt realize cario-dock was gnome exclusive [05:37] Might still work, some WMs support GTK. [05:37] KDE, in particular. [05:38] well i logged out, then i clicked that area where you go to switch desktop enviroments, and under cario-dock it said something about gnome. after i logged in with that it gave me the ubuntu background but nothing else. [05:39] ？？ [05:39] N3X15: then i rebooted and it hung. I was scared because if it hung i wasnt sure how to go about switching it back through a tty1 (alt-f1) [05:41] How do I upgrade Python interface to libapt-pkg? [05:43] N3X15: oh wow thats odd, if i run it from commandline then its fine. [05:43] Race condition? [05:43] now i just gotta figure out if im suppose to uninstall something to get rid of the unity bar, or just try to hide it [05:55] well, gonna try rebooting the VM [05:55] this is why I stay the hell away from C unless I know exactly what I'm doing. === zz_Thelks is now known as Thelks [06:07] Hi. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [06:10] I ended up disabling the LAN on the motherboard from the bios.

[07:33] Neo9: no, that's 1.7 Is that ok? [07:34] kokut, I only use LTS so 14.04 works fine me.

[07:41] somsip: nope; i have to install on seperate system. VM suggestion won't help me any more. [07:41] Neo9: then install 12.04 [07:43] somsip: do you mean in 12.04 distro, we can have "apache 2.2.22-1ubuntu1.7" in repository. am i right?

I don't know if there was an update lately to the shutting down process, does anybody know? Because when I try to shutdown my Mint (it is virtualized), the shutdown/reboot commands get stucked, they start to allocate a lot of memory that I will eventually start swapping and after that the system just freezes...

[08:08] ok.. this is a paradox.. why does ubuntu insist on creating a 100MB large /boot and then filling this in just a couple of months with old and unused kernels? [08:08] this happens on all my boxes [08:08] why? [08:08] why no automatic routine to clean up?

[08:08] trijntje: if you set up lvm, it does [08:09] zamba: why do you care? do you have an extremely small disk? it's 2015 [08:09] zamba, because autodeleting kernels is a bad idea. sudo apt-get autoremove [08:09] afaik it *can* take up that much space because old kernels are kept around in case an upgrade breaks [08:09] the package is only known to me from ubuntu 10 [08:09] lng , s.a.

I'm having this weird issue and I can't find any relevant info on the google. Everytime I install a new package I get this error: "your 131072x1 screen size is bogus. expect trouble" and I have no clue when this started happening. [08:48] hi jasabella [08:49] hehe 2**17 x 1 [08:49] chotaz`w, this over vnc or directly [08:49] svetlana, direcly [08:49] +t [08:50] I've been using ubuntu for almost a decade and while I'm no expert or anything like that, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this issue before, so my first thought was "something is utterly broken" because you know, bogus is a pretty mean word. [08:52] I think you may have to disable hardware acceleration, but I'm not sure how to do that [09:01] jasabella: I treid this network cable in my laptop and works fine [09:02] jasabella: the problem are the netowrk card of this server [09:02] how can I prevent any kernel update in ubuntu? the background is: I install a notebook for a friend who shall use Virtualbox. After kernel update he would have to do /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup... I dont want him to have to do this.. .so.. I just want to stay with the kernel used when installing.. how do I do this for sure ? [09:03] let him update the kernel and add that setup stuff to cron for every reboot [09:03] if it's not interactive, that is [09:03] pragomer: I use virtualbox and updates go fine, how did you install it? [09:05] ahm.. it is xubuntu.. it is possible that in xubuntu this does not work ;-) [09:05] I think you are right.. in main "ubuntu" this works out of the box.. [09:05] xubuntu and ubuntu share same repositories, so please give more detail [09:06] not really, if you install virtualbox from the software center the desktop environment should have no effect [09:06] what version of xubuntu, what version of virtualbox, how did you install virtualbox [09:06] yeah [09:07] ahm.. yes.. I think it was today. that a kernel update came.. and I had to recompile the vbox kernel module.. you are right.. I installed the vbox version from their website.. because the version I can install via repos is the ose edition and this one does not support usb , right? === erwin_ is now known as PHPLearner [09:08] trijntje: .... your hypothesis was correct [09:09] its xubuntu 14.04 and Virtualbox 4.3.26 [09:09] pragomer: I dont know actually, I never used usb with virtualbox. Is it not included in guest additions? Otherwise just write a litte script for your friend to run if vbox stops working ;) [09:10] Hola! [09:10] hi [09:10] yes.. a script would be ok... I also wanted my knowledge to grow.. about how to prevent kernel updates ;-) [09:10] instead of disabling kernel updates, shoot yourself in the foot with an ak-47 [09:10] about the same [09:11] Startup disk creator isn't able to finish putting the bootloader on a USB. [09:11] I'm running lubuntu 15.04. [09:11] does it give you an error message [09:11] Hi! What could be the reason that apt-get puts its *.deb files into the root fs? [09:11] yep [09:11] @svetlana yep [09:12] jost, filling the space, and problem started only recently around last week? on 15.04? [09:12] Sorry, what? [09:12] svetlana: no idea when it started, just noticed it in the IDS-reports [09:12] oh [09:13] I have startup scripts that no longer run after updating, I get permission denied. How can I increase the permissions in order for the scripts to work again? [09:13] svetlana: what do you mean by "filling the space"? [09:14] it's weird. If it help, I'm trying to load a x86 image (for another computer) on a x64 laptop. I wouldn't have thought that would affect it... [09:15] *helps [09:15] what is it [09:15] AlexEagle8128: I mean, what error message do you get? [09:15] wait a moment, I'll try it again and post back exactly what I get [09:15] :-) [09:16] jost: could you please pastebin what you see in IDS reports? and how did you partition the thing - I have only rootfs and nothing else, so I'm not sure what you are expecting [09:17] svetlana: yes, will do - takes a moment though, customer has an emergency [09:21] "Failed to install the bootloader". [09:23] hello [09:23] hi php [09:23] :-) [09:23] i am currently on my terminal inside my desktop folder [09:23] AlexEagle8128, ah thanks. what ubuntu version? [09:23] wow [09:23] :-)) [09:23] I type ls and I am seeing COMPLETED COURSES folder [09:23] haha [09:24] i am wondering when I type cd /COMPLETED COURSES/ [09:24] lubuntu 15.04 vivid vervet [09:24] it says no directory or folder found [09:24] cd COMPLETED COURSES/ [09:24] oh ok [09:24] cd "COMPLETED COURSES" [09:24] ahah.

[09:24] because there is a space s you need "" [09:25] bstarek: THANKS [09:25] you are great man [09:25] so much thanks [09:25] its nothing, google could give you the answear [09:26] PHPLearner: use "\" to escape the space [09:27] k1l_: ok noted [09:27] will do it next time [09:27] thanks [09:27] PHPLearner: and stop using spaces in folders or filenames if you want to become a good coder :) [09:27] hey i'm back [09:27] lubuntu crashed [09:27] oh ok [09:27] k1l_: ok [09:28] wow this is a CRAPtop [09:28] k1l_, true, avoid spaces [09:28] it really is [09:28] k1l_: so what will i do then can you give me an example [09:28] k1l_: by the way, what languages are you using to code [09:28] file_name [09:28] if it can manage to crash Lubuntu it must be a CRAPtop [09:28] ok [09:28] sure [09:28] next time will do [09:28] I will take note of your advice [09:28] AlexEagle8128: that sounds like you want to start a blog for the ranting :) [09:29] :-) hahahahahha [09:29] ok 15.04 [09:29] wait [09:29] i do have a blog actualy [09:29] *actually [09:29] I love to rant about my craptop [09:29] hi all, i am on kubuntu 15.04 and i have problems with backports wifi drivers... (i need stop network-manager to monitoring..) but in my kubuntu 14.04 by default i have wifi drivers so... what is the packet that have default drivers?? if install ir will disapear the message of "[phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: Name not unique on network"? [09:29] is it always advisable to keep on upgrading Ubuntu from one version to the next [09:29] :-) hahaha [09:29] AlexEagle8128: we want to focus on actual support. for general chatter we have #ubuntu-offtopic [09:30] My laptop (craptop) is 10 yrs old, near enough. [09:30] AlexEagle8128: 3 suggestions. run it as root. format the usb and do it again. use unetbooting instead of startup disk creator. [09:30] PHPLearner: we have LTS versions which get 5 years support (12.04, 14.04). if you ware on 14.10 or 15.04 you need to upgrade every 6 months anyway until you reach the next lts which is 16.04 [09:31] !rootirc | root [09:31] root: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [09:31] hi guys === root is now known as Guest77231 [09:31] oo [09:31] hi guys [09:31] i've tried number 2, i tried 3 before, didn't work and I'm not sure how to do the first one [09:31] k1l_: ok I am on 14.10 [09:31] hi all, i am on kubuntu 15.04 and i have problems with backports 4.1 wifi drivers, i installing but... i need stop network-manager to monitoring.. so in my kubuntu 14.04 by default i havent wifi drivers so... what is the packet name that have default WiFI drivers for ubuntu system?? if install ir will disapear the message of "[phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: Name not unique on network"? [09:32] so I am curious is there a way to upgrade from 14.1 to 15.1 [09:32] just to clarify, root is different from administrator? [09:32] or there is really not much of a difference between the two after all [09:32] AlexEagle8128: what is your issue? and dont run everything as root. that will break a lot of stuff [09:32] AlexEagle8128: what administrator? [09:32] I am sure what I am doing, so guess it is OK [09:32] k1l_: he gets 'failed to install the bootloader' when writing usb bootable image using startup disk creator. [09:33] k1l_: 15.04 [09:33] there is only ONE true administrator ---> root [09:33] Hello [09:33] I mean, I take it that my user account is not root? I've dabbled with root use before but can't remember much at all. [09:33] or you can create an admin user and give it sudo rights [09:34] momken hi [09:34] AlexEagle8128: we dont use root. we use sudo on ubuntu. but we dont run everything with sudo, bevcause that is not needed [09:34] AlexEagle8128: so you cant install ubuntu? [09:34] is there a way to install ubuntu without a bootdisk? :) [09:34] (not in windows) [09:34] jasabella, wubi maybe? [09:34] jasabella, through the network [09:35] pxe [09:35] I'm trying to load a x86 lubuntu 15.04 iso from a x64 laptop. [09:35] yeah i thought i'd clarify that [09:35] not from a jedi :-) :-) [09:35] jasabella: what do you mean "without a bootdisk"? you dont have a cd/dvd or usb pendrive? [09:35] I have nvidia gtx 750 ti, I installed nvidia-346 from xorg-edger. Now I can see screen in 1080p, but I can't hear sound using my monitor's speakers. It is connecting only using HDMI [09:35] I use xubuntu 14.0.4.1 x64 [09:35] well i have a debian live pendrive right now, wondering if i could launch the installer and have it install to the hdd [09:35] there's a bootloader error after startup disk creator tries to do it's thing [09:35] AlexEagle8128: you cant do that with a 32bit iso on a 64bit system install [09:36] Really nobody try to install backports wifi drivers to monitoring corrlectly on 15.04????????!!!!!!!!!!! [09:36] jasabella: debootstrap is the solution. but that is an advanced topic. [09:36] too vague; much of it depends on the hardware [09:36] yea i was wondering if i could avoid that [09:36] jasabella: for beginners its mor easy to get another usb pendrive :) [09:37] partitioning isnt my forte :) [09:37] In the sound settings, under "configuration" tab it can recognize my vga-card as HDA nvidia, but under "output devices" it doesn't bring HDA nvidia [09:37] I'm just installing an iso to a usb, I wouldn't have thought the bit structure would matter. I'm not trying to install lubuntu x86 on my x64 laptop, I'm using the x64 laptop to put the x86 iso on a USB [09:37] @ momken [09:37] the x86 iso is for another laptop [09:37] manevant, Hello? [09:37] i.e: a 32bit lptop [09:38] momken, oh, sorry, misstyping :) [09:38] AlexEagle8128: ah ok. then just use "dd" to "burn" the iso to the usb [09:38] AlexEagle8128, how did you burn the iso to usb? [09:38] dd? [09:38] yeah just dd it over :) [09:38] say what? [09:38] AlexEagle8128, i suggest you use unetbooting [09:38] i couldn't get it to work [09:38] dunno why [09:38] AlexEagle8128, dont use dd [09:39] AlexEagle8128: yeah, that copies bit for bit the iso onto the usb. so there is no other program which can break things [09:39] if he doesnt know what dd is, should he really be using it? Hmmm :D [09:39] AlexEagle8128, if you are just getting started use a GUI [09:39] I wouldn't know how to use dd, i've no idea what dd is [09:39] hi guys [09:39] bstarek: unetbooting breaks things [09:39] I am using GUI [09:39] k1l_, never had a prob with it. [09:39] what are you talking about [09:39] im using startup disk creator [09:39] dario [09:39] AlexEagle8128: sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=1M && sync [09:40] sorry, but no. [09:40] AlexEagle8128: make sure of=/dev/sdx points to sdb and not sdb1 if your usb drive is sdb [09:40] hehehehehe [09:40] i suppose ill try it. [09:40] fingers crossed he wont hose anything [09:41] AlexEagle8128, hit fdisk -l frist [09:41] if you wreck my drive I'll come sledgehammer your pc's [09:41] and make sure it is the right drive [09:41] :-) lol just kidding [09:41] AlexEagle8128: you can see on "dmesg" what drive your usb gets linked to. [09:42] cfdisk is more easy [09:42] well he did try other gui programs before and that did not work. so lets see to try the dd way. [09:43] sorry, guys, everybody seems to give different answers. I'm going to pick on @bstarek to explain all what I need to do. If you don't know, pass the baton to someone lese, like @k1l_ [09:43] *else [09:43] AlexEagle8128: and i would make sure to check the md5sum of the iso. [09:43] what the heck are you on about? [09:43] you try to follow what k1l_ is saying [09:44] since bstarek disappeared [09:44] AlexEagle8128, listen, just type "fdisk -l"....you will get a list of your drive...such as "/dev/sda, /dev/sdb...." make sure you pick the right one, check the size [09:44] ok. [09:44] oh he didnt [09:44] sorry [09:44] lol im here :))) [09:44] this is getting really confusing now [09:44] the target drive is sdb [09:44] i know that already [09:45] how can I change the default language that is selected in gfxboot screen of ubuntu? (default is english of course) what file to edit? [09:45] AlexEagle8128, ok after that, as my friend k1l_ said, you can do " sudo dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M && sync [09:45] ok one mo. will run that [09:45] AlexEagle8128, that will burn your ISO to your pendrive [09:46] you don't burn isos to usb sticks [09:46] AlexEagle8128, more exactly "sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M && sync" [09:46] you *write* [09:46] MrElendig, sorry =) [09:47] AlexEagle8128, then you wait until it is done. [09:48] begi [09:48] waity waity waity woodle snoodle poodle [09:48] k1l_: any suggestion on an good and efficient vm for linux [09:48] hello [09:48] I am using for SPA project [09:48] Hello [09:48] PHPLearner: kvm [09:48] I need html help [09:48] can i see some boobs plz?

[09:48] PHPLearner: with eg qemu as the frontend [09:49] are you using it [09:49] yes its verry good [09:49] yes [09:49] PHPLearner: also you should learn a propper language instead of php :p [09:49] a25803: what is your question [09:49] MrElendig: like what language [09:49] PHP is good for web development [09:49] they dont have a question. they are just trolls. dont mind them [09:50] oh ok [09:50] lol [09:50] done [09:50] PHPLearner: python/haskell/go/ [09:50] MrElendig: how come you do not like PHP [09:50] k1l_: bravo, sir! [09:50] PHPLearner: http://eev.ee/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ [09:50] I like your attitude [09:50] between the three languages you gave me i'd rather choose python [09:51] and you can just expect the trolls to make jokes about aTITude [09:51] anyways [09:51] the iso has burned now [09:51] how do you scp from a folder that has $ in its name ? [09:51] guys can you apt-get remove sudo ? [09:51] AlexEagle8128, once it is done, plus the usb drive to your computer...go to BIOS and select boot from usb... [09:51] g0ts1ck: why would you want to do that? [09:51] g0ts1ck: Have fun with that. [09:52] can it be done ? [09:52] g0ts1ck: yes [09:52] MrElendig: Man you break my heart [09:52] AlexEagle8128, you know how to boot from usb? [09:52] kk. will see if it works now :-D [09:52] g0ts1ck: All of Ubuntu is engineered around sudo.

[10:33] Luyin:I have purged the updated version completely and trying to install from software centre...It is saying taht error [10:33] ??

So try `sudo gparted`. [10:36] AlexEagle8128: sudo gparted from a terminal or gksudo gparted from alt+F2 [10:36] @vlt perfect! i thought you could do it in terminal [10:36] command not found [10:36] <_war10ck_> AlexEagle8128: Under System portion - once started it will ask for root privileges. Or try what vlt said [10:37] <_war10ck_> AlexEagle8128: It seems gparted is not installed, get it installed using aptitude or apt-get [10:38] * _war10ck_ goes for lunch, will be back in a second [10:38] oh yeah, forgot it had to be installed [10:38] _warl0ck_:Even in synaptic manager also it is saying like that === amir_ is now known as Guest32745 [10:41] ok, what am i looking for? i found that it's been re-labelled sdc1 not sdb [10:41] <_war10ck_> AlexEagle8128: [10:41] <_war10ck_> AlexEagle8128: Just s second [10:41] <_war10ck_> bojan: [10:42] <_war10ck_> bojan: Check the version of the library installed [10:42] _warl0ck_:can u please help me??

[10:58] why is Ubuntu support only for 9 months? so after months you either use an unsupported version for 3 more months or install the latest version and only be supported for 6 months... should Ubuntu versions be supported for at least 1 full year? [10:59] May I know what is the different at software nvidia driver update version ? legacy vs binary ? [10:59] it would probably be better for users and developers if ubuntu was supported for 1 full year and just released once a year on "Ubuntu Day" or something [11:00] utu8o: LTS releases are supported for 5 years [11:00] <_war10ck_> utu8o: That's why, using LTS releases is encouraged [11:00] geirha: not quite correct. only the main ubuntu releases are supported for 5 years, the others for 3. [11:01] geirha, yeah, but you will be waiting 2 years for upgrades [11:01] ah well, still.

[12:22] cfhowlett: first, i dont even know how to do that [12:22] dunno what the fuss is to rush ti install kernel 4.0 , all it does is break stuff for users [12:22] GigaGrams, are you 14.04 ? [12:22] ioria: nope, 15.04 [12:23] GigaGrams, I suspect sudo apt-get update && sudo a[t-get dist-upgrade will to. also, quit mucking around with non-standard kernels. 4.0 will be brought to ubuntu when it's ready. [12:23] GigaGrams, so linux-image 3.19.0-15-generic [12:23] GigaGrams, and extra and headres maybe [12:24] *headers [12:24] ioria: uname -a says its 4.0 [12:24] <_123design_> GigaGrams, you'd better reinstall the OS and start clean. Use some virtual system for experiments. [12:24] GigaGrams, yes, you told us that :-) [12:24] hello [12:25] GigaGrams, you have to up-get install the above (not garantee for success) [12:25] yea im trying [12:25] GigaGrams, and then select it from grub - advanced [12:25] hi all. I just installed kubuntu 15.04 into a second drive using encrypted lvm. now im booted back into my ubuntu 14.10 install but I cant mount the new drive. I get the error "The unlocked device does not have a recognisable file system on it". But I was just booted into it a few minutes ago. what gives?! [12:26] ioria: what u mean select it from grub -advanced? [12:27] GigaGrams, you default kernel will remain 4.0 untill you remove it [12:28] GigaGrams, don't do any autoremove untill you are certain that the system is complete funcional [12:28] so when booting i press shift then select another kernel or something? [12:28] daniel31: you can't mount an LVM volume like you can standard partitions. [12:28] GigaGrams, yep [12:28] k lemme try it [12:29] hello I need to install a rpm package on ubuntu, I converted to dep using alien is that ok?

[12:31] i can barely read [12:31] 12121 [12:31] GigaGrams, pretty sure nvidia doesn't yet support kernel 4.0 [12:32] cfhowlett, should they ? The kernel didn't change that much to necessitate driver changes [12:32] is Ubuntu 14.10 a Debian based ditro [12:32] PHPLearner, ... yes [12:33] cfhowlett: have you used NodeJS before [12:33] http://i.imgur.com/y3wm1PB.jpg [12:33] ok, now the package (tested on windows) provides a command for printing files through the network, after installation of the deb file, terminal can't find the command iprntcmd, is that a hint, that it doesn't work or do I have to do something else so terminal knows the command? [12:33] pls dont laugh... [12:34] GigaGrams, you're running an earlier ubuntu? reinstall nivida for THAT kernel. [12:34] GigaGrams, seems to be a gtk/qt/whatever framework issue [12:34] has anyone here use Protractor before in Ubuntu 14.1 [12:34] GigaGrams, i though worse [12:34] u kidding [12:35] http://i.imgur.com/QB4hRIE.jpg [12:35] cfhowlett http://www.webupd8.org/2013/06/how-to-install-gtk3-with-broadway-html5.html this guide doesn't work as aptitude still can't get my beloved package [12:36] GigaGrams, it's readable, come on [12:36] cfhowlett: how am i supposed to install the nvidia drivers for 15.04 and 4.0 kernel? [12:36] no its not, i cant even read your username [12:37] GigaGrams, again ... why do you expect nvidia to support a kernel that is STILL not in ubuntu's repos. remove 4.0. Use a supported kernel. [12:37] cfhowlett: just tell me how to go back to 3.19 [12:37] emilsp, can't help. great chinese firewall doesn't like webupd8 site [12:37] el cico guapo, he ?

Ubuntu 12.04 [12:38] ioria: wanna be my gf [12:39] GigaGrams, ^*_*^ [12:39] cfhowlett: the package (tested on windows) provides a command for printing files through the network, after installation of the deb file, terminal can't find the command iprntcmd, is that a hint, that it doesn't work or do I have to do something else so terminal knows the command? [12:39] GigaGrams, I woould never advise anyone to run an end of life distro. too many issues [12:40] SuperTyp, try running from the terminal. if that fails, assume that the "alien" didn't work.

[12:45] sorry but ubuntu noob :) [12:45] GigaGrams, better dpkg -l | grep linux-image- [12:45] cfhowlett, maybe you can open this link ? https://launchpad.net/~malizor/+archive/ubuntu/gtk-broadway these instructions still don't work [12:45] SuperTyp1, no apology needed. try it.

[12:54] SuperTyp1: what precisely are you trying to install? === artisanIndia is now known as artisanIndia|afk [12:56] can anyone help how to point an app to use chromedriver.exe [12:56] the thing is I have an app named Protractor that does testing [12:56] PHPLearner, .exe is for windows, not linux [12:57] cfhowlett: ok so how will I point the app to the chromiumdriver.sh [12:57] XenophonF: this client here: https://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/iprint.html [12:57] which pre build image is the appropriate for running in a Openstack cloud? trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img? [12:57] PLANTUML_BINARY=$(PWD)"/../buildtools/plantuml.8023.jar" this aint working because each makefile is in different folder. how can i solve this [12:58] PHPLearner, see the README you downloaded with the app and/or check the publisher for linux support [12:58] I already used alien to convert it, but terminal says: can't find command...

[13:01] You have to pick the right driver etc manually tho, all that automagic stuff that iPrint does for you [13:01] okay I will take a look at that too [13:02] thank you all! [13:02] in fact, the comments section for https://www.novell.com/communities/coolsolutions/using-iprint-with-ubuntu/ has instructions for setting up CUPS === artisanIndia|afk is now known as artisanIndia [13:02] SuperTyp1: your best bet is to use cups to connect to the iprint server [13:03] alright [13:03] I am trying to add a keyboard shortcut for the "context menu" (ie: mouse's right click). Yet I can't find the "command" that invokes the right click. Any idea what it is? [13:03] My mother is telling me her wifi drops out a few times a week. Ive seen it happen just now on her 12.04 machine and it rejects the correct password. Rebooting solves it for a day or so. It's a broadcom wireless on a Dell laptop. does this sound familoiar to anyone? I'm tempted to upgrade her to 14.04 if it might help. [13:04] how to do I know whether I install a particular app ubuntu [13:04] what commands can I type on the terminal [13:04] PHPLearner, dpkg -l | grep PACKAGENAME [13:04] PHPLearner: or apt-cache policy [13:05] thanks guys [13:05] TenLeftFingers, what is rejecting password? the laptop? the router? [13:06] TenLeftFingers: you might need to update the wap firmware, too [13:06] pbx: I don't know. But I do know it was identical every time [13:06] cfhowlett: nothing came out after I type your command [13:06] does that mean that it was installed [13:06] XenophonF: I'll look into that, thanks [13:06] knob : Most keyboards have a right click button on them, mine is next to the Alt Gr button [13:06] PHPLearner, how did you install the package? [13:07] ok wait [13:07] cooljet, I know man... yet this laptop does not have the context-menu key. [13:07] Soo... looking for the command. With the command, I can do a keyboard shortcut. [13:07] Yet I don't know the command [13:09] pbx: XenophonF and anyone wanting to know, theres a process here for troubleshooting broadcom drivers : http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers [13:09] TenLeftFingers: thanks [13:10] cfhowlett: I install it using sudo npm install -g bower [13:10] then bower install [13:12] Knob: found this online http://askubuntu.com/questions/515800/how-to-create-a-right-click-keyboard-shortcut [13:12] PHPLearner: check the docs of the package [13:12] PHPLearner: it won't show up in apt or dpkg as installed if you didn't use the package manager [13:13] cooljet, thank you! I saw that in my searches... I think that is going to be the way I have to go. Just odd that... what the heck is the context- menu command. [13:13] I will let you know what I do! === tnkhanh_ is now known as tnkhanh [13:15] Knob: Yeah, you would think there would a straight forward command like "right-click" but I can't find === erwin is now known as PHPLearner [13:16] Yup. cooljet, the best I though... is that if we could "cat" the commands that cross the interface (xorg? I don't know). Then you watch that screen, and do a right click. [13:16] sorry I got [13:16] disconnected [13:16] I am sure there is something more basic/simple. I will keep on searching.

[13:17] I have sleep $[ ( $RANDOM % 180 ) + 1 ]m [13:18] is that the correct syntax? I can't really test it for hours of waiting around [13:18] is there a package for plantuml [13:20] dougnet: I'm guessing you mean HTML, have a look on Firefox Addons, I'm sure there a addon for that [13:21] It's a .htm file. Which is HTML. A customer of mine uses a program that spits out the workorder in .htm [13:22] cooljet: The browser isn't the issue though. Once I get it saved locally I would like to convert it, and get it signed electronically. [13:24] dougnet: if you try opening it in Firefox, then click to print and save to file, you can save it as a pdf, it worth a try [13:26] Can someone help me with this? Do I just run sleep $[ ($RANDOM % 180)]m to run randomly in the 3 hour? [13:27] cooljet: no dice on that. Gmail. Maybe on TBird, but ugh [13:28] I have this problem: http://www.ubuntufaqs.com/questions/607127/ubuntu-winboot-wubildr-mbr-error-in-dual-boot can anyone help?

[13:35] jin9: best is to ask the #android guys [13:35] i dont have access to DVD right now :/ [13:35] trees: you can install ubuntu from a usb pendrive. just dont use wubi but boot that usb like you would boot a cd. [13:36] trees: i recommend to boot a windows cd and repair the windows bootmanager [13:36] yeah and I don't have a usb drive either right now, in a tight spot for now :( [13:36] dougnet: from I can find HTM file should open in Firefox, then when you click to print you should see something like this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/1/view/p3k9ymp387pexdi/Apps/Shutter/Selection_038.png sorry mate if that not any help can't think of a other way [13:36] i can definitely get back into windows and get rid of the wubi install [13:36] its not that which is the problem, im trying to get past the error screen that wont let me into ubuntu [13:37] i just need to find away to dual boot [13:37] trees: yes. dont use wubi.

I've tried manually changing file extension to .pdf but ubuntu recognises it's originally a .htm and won't open as a .pdf. When I open the file it opens a new tab. I should be able to manipulate the file from there, but that is why I think I need an installed program for that kind of file monkey'n [13:41] nothing in the store that I can see either. === Archer_ is now known as Guest40742 [13:44] dougnet: your best bet is a piece software call "Okular" it's a advance PDF software it might be able to handle it [13:46] why is it that when im using chrome and chromium my mouse freezes on Lubuntu 14.04? it does not freeze with firefox.

[13:55] I was woundering if its a possibility to bond an ethernet connection to a wireless card connection [14:02] cooljet: Well, installing Okular didn't fix the issue, but it did help me figure something out. The .htm file is created locally. So, extensions, addons, programs will not support conversion. I'll just have to do it the stupid way. Print, scan, get customert to sign that digitally on my smartphone.

[14:16] dougnet: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19468016/bash-to-batch-rename-files-with-adding-numbers [14:17] dougnet: really depends on what they are named and what you want them to be named, but easy to adapt the above [14:17] good afternoon folks, suddenly .deb files started opening on the terminal instead of the software center. Is this normal and if not what could have changed? [14:19] somsip: I see that. It looks like they would have to have a common name first, and then sequence. Most cameras, and phone cameras generate random file names though. I could dump to a new folder, and sequence the folder though. [14:21] dougnet: no, it will rename any files that match any glob you like, and basename can be replace with a string [14:21] cooljet: thanks for the help. Back to my drawing board, or smack the customer around and get them to export that stupid file as a pdf... [14:22] dougnet: right click the deb -> select open with.

[15:04] !dist-upgrade [15:04] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed.

[15:48] guys, my settings are not saving [15:48] always fail OerHeks ;) also user__ backbox is not suppprted in any ubuntu channel [15:49] xangua, sorry for not noticing the difference between Potugese/Spanish :-9 [15:49] guys [15:49] do you hear me? [15:49] pauliunas we can read you, not hear .. i don't know why you cannot pin. [15:50] ok sorry then, my nick is gray in this client so i thought i had to be logged into nickserv or something [15:50] I could install the iPrint client now on ubuntu but I can't add a printer: http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150430/52ch58oe.png [15:51] !ping [15:51] pong! [15:51] "The request contains invalid syntax" [15:51] that kind of stuff just doesn't happen in windows. i booted up, and out of a sudden all my settings are reset, including pinned apps. and they jump back immediately if i try to change them [15:51] ohluh [15:52] Anyone know how to quickly wipe the metadata off a drive? [15:52] I could use shred but it takes far too long. [15:52] pauliunas, perhaps you are not logged in, but in guest-mode? [15:52] well, i did enter a password... [15:53] pauliunas, easy to see, do you see your account name top right corner? [15:53] and it shows a check mark near my username in the power menu [15:53] cuddylier: could use dd ... [15:53] well, as i said, it reset all the settings to default, so it doesn't show the name in that bar by default [15:53] Would it be e.g. 1/3 time of shred? [15:53] but it does show a check mark in the power menu [15:53] Since shred writes over the drive 3 times [15:53] Would dd only do it once? [15:53] cuddylier: do you need the drive urgently? [15:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10953657/ - why isn't pip working? [15:54] pauliunas, another test, can you copy a file from one folder to an other? if not, your system is mounted readonly? [15:54] cuddylier: dd would do a single wipe, which is enough [15:54] ActionParsnip ASAP really, I have 3 x 4TB drives so shredding each one would take 24+ hours [15:54] hmm, which partition? /home or /? [15:54] pauliunas, in your home would do. [15:54] cuddylier: speed is largely dependant on the drive hardware [15:55] yeah, these are drives with 100+ MB/s I/O so standard HDDs [15:55] OerHeks, i have /home set as a separate partition [15:55] pauliunas, user settings are also stored there, so it is oke. [15:55] oerheks yeah i can copy/paste in my home partition [15:55] cuddylier: using 4 PCs weill speed it up, do them in parallel [15:56] ActionParsnip yeah it would, I usually do them 1 by 1 anyway [15:56] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=124914352 [15:56] That would be a good dd command? [15:56] OerHeks, however the paste option is grayed out in the main partition [15:56] Put them in a cat scanner which is a big magnet. [15:56] mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb [15:56] Or that [15:56] cuddylier: sounds fine, will need sudo. Check the "of" device is correct, or dd could stand for Data Destroyer ;) [15:56] pauliunas, in your main partition sounds fine, you need sudo for that. [15:57] oh, right.. [15:57] ActionParsnip, yep will do, thankfully the box I'll be doing it on is unused currently so mistakes don't matter. [15:57] pauliunas, i have no clue, did you try to reboot to see if there is any change? [15:58] OerHeks, yup, same after reboot [15:58] Earlier I asked:. Can the system cpu governor be restarted with a systemctl command? (Ubuntu 15.04) I've been monitoring proc/cpuinfo and notice speed gets stuck at higher speeds after resume from suspend. [15:58] I haven't found a way to do it via a single systemctl command but I was able to reset the governors using: sudo sh -c "echo -n powersave | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor" [15:58] If anyone knows a systemctl method... [15:58] OerHeks, and i can copy files with sudo [16:01] is there a *stable* linux distro out there? [16:02] pauliunas: best to b8 in #ubuntu-offtopic not here [16:02] Rory, i came with a *problem* [16:02] i'm just emphasizing how buggy ubuntu is [16:02] cool [16:03] fuck this [16:04] hi. How can I change the terminal emulator back to my favorite gnome-terminal? sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator doesn't work. [16:04] One other questiom regarding my pstate issue after resuming... should it be reported somewhere? If so where? It didn't happen with 14.10 running 4.0.x kernels. [16:05] any students here that could successfully install an iprint printer on ubuntu? [16:05] rogo: let me search.... [16:05] rogo: 'doesn't work' meaning no update dialog or no effect after restarting desktop? [16:06] rogo, Settings Manager >> Preferred Applications >> Utilities ? [16:06] i mean: it shows the dialog where I can choose, but whatever I choose, it stays the same [16:06] http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150430/52ch58oe.png any idea guys? [16:06] i'll try settings manager [16:07] rogo: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:07] it got worse: I have to search now a way to run a terminal [16:08] rogo: press CTRL + ALT + T [16:08] rogo: works?

[16:20] looks like someone renamed it [16:20] rogo you changed it ? [16:21] yes, i changed that with some code I found on internet [16:21] rogo good [16:22] so, it would be perfect is that gnome-terminal is my favorite one again, as default [16:22] sudo mv /usr/bin/gnome-terminal- /usr/bin/gnome-terminal then check update-alternative --query x-terminal-emulatr | head -n1 [16:23] do you mean ... x-terminal-emulator .... at end?

[18:42] ok I did do manually, thanks for the help! === lahwran_ is now known as lahwran [18:43] GuidovanPossum: Thats why you have problems, your instaled system doesn't know aboout manually installed graphics drivers which means you'll need to reinstall each time the kernal changes [18:47] hello [18:47] Is it normal for after my first install for the drivers for my gtx 960 and amd a8 7600 to install very very slow?

[19:16] any help is appreciated [19:16] howdy [19:16] i would guess that it's something ubuntu related, rather than kernel related, since it works on bootup [19:17] do you mean the second you power up?

I'm trying to use a Thing-o-matic with Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) and ReplicatorG. Ubuntu finds the device and ReplicatorG connects to the device. But due to some RXTXComm bug, java gets a buffer overload and crashes as soon as RepG has connected to the printer.

Ethernet works great, wifi doesn't connect. It's not disabled (I searched on stackoverflow and ubuntu forums for Y40 Wifi issues. Everyone seems to have their wireless card disabled.. No such issues here). [19:35] Another quirky bit is that I have an apple magic mouse connected via bluetooth. Works well except for occasionally dropping the connection. I just figured that the battery of the mouse is showing up in the power management console, which is weird. And every time the mouse reconnects, I get a notification about how it's discharging. [19:35] woops, url got split in two: https://github.com/makerbot/ReplicatorG/issues/274 [19:36] Jordan_U, i'm trying to get it working correctly. everything was fine a few weeks ago then out of nowhere (no updates installed around the time it happened) i got some error and was placed into "low graphics" mode.

[19:40] i can't even be confident a new graphics card will just makes my issues go away [19:40] yes [19:40] Guest14592: you have to split the command in two [19:40] cmyrland: So the version of rxtx on your Ubuntu should already be current enough. You just need to do the symbolic link command there. I would actually put it in the /etc/rc.local file so you don't have to do it manually all the time [19:41] what time it is [19:41] hello [19:41] N3: Depends where you are. [19:41] genii, I've tried that, but it doesn't work. Seems like RepG uses it's own java mix, so it doesn't pull in the rxtx2.2, but instead uses 2.1.7 [19:41] danbower: Does it work with a 15.04 LiveUSB? [19:42] Jordan_U, i haven't tried that.

[19:48] Jordan_U, ok thanks for the clarification. that's not something i've really looked into yet. i'd have to reboot (the monitor works fine with ubuntu if i use the DVI input) to take a look [19:48] azizLIGHT: Why not ask your next question, and see if anyone here can answer it? [19:48] Pod15, running those cmds in terminal won't open software center [19:48] genii, I actually found the mailing list earlier when I googled around, hang on, I'll see if I can find them again [19:48] i'll be back shortly [19:48] and you have to put sudo in front of those cmds [19:48] azizLIGHT: also FF's own channels might be handy [19:49] cmyrland: The makerbot home page specifies that Oracle Java is required also.

[19:49] genii, yup, I have installed Oracle Java and it's default on my system now [19:50] danbower: To be clear, the exact same Ubuntu 12.04 LiveCD that worked with the exact same hardware before (via displayport), no longer works? Because the same exact software (CDs being read only) behaving differently strongly suggests something else changing (hence maybe boot firmware options). [19:50] Hey, here is my problem.

[19:56] Jordan_U, i also tried my old graphics card (ATI 5000 something) which i purchased in 2011. would you expect hardware that old to work with a 14.04 liveCD? [19:58] genii, from what I gather, the mailing list is not more informative than the initial bug post [19:58] unless I'm missing something [19:59] danbower: I expect that the open drivers still support it, but I'm not very knowledgable about graphics hardware. If it's not hard for for you to do, you might as well swap it out and try it. [19:59] cmyrland: "We used to enumerate all possible ports but people complained about the [19:59] time it took so the list is fairly short now by default. The original [19:59] code is still in RXTXCommDriver.java. Info on the wiki shows how to use [19:59] properties to override the behavior." [19:59] Bah it copied the linefeeds === rehan is now known as Guest43101 [20:00] Jordan_U, well i actually done that. the old graphics card worked on the DisplayPort for a 12.04 liveCD i had lying around but failed to work with 14.04 liveCD [20:00] my current graphics card simply fails to work with both now [20:00] genii, yes, but that is still kinda greek to me [20:01] cmyrland: I take it to mean find the RXTXCommDriver.java on your system, and uncomment the original code [20:01] it's all so depressing :/ i have also started to experience a BSOD when playing a particular game on windows. a part of me thinks my graphics card is subtly dying but the behaviour with my old graphics card unsettles me [20:02] BSOD is normal on Windows [20:02] genii, yeah, I've tried that, but I can't find the RXTXCOmmDriver.java file anywhere. locate doesn't find it, and I've been looking around in various java folders on my system manually without any luck [20:03] danbower: Maybe it's a problem with the motherboard, specifically affecting the PCI slot your graphics card is using. [20:03] cmyrland: I'm downloading the ReplicatorG stuff now to look at it [20:03] cool, thanks [20:03] i've been gaming on this rig for nearly two years ans BSOD were very infrequent beforehand. now if i play a couple games of dota, it will eventually happen in quite an odd way. the file mentioned in the BSOD produces a plethora of different results on google [20:03] can anyone help me get my wifi working? [20:04] Jordan_U, yeah possibly. it would be odd a fault with a PCI slot could affect ubuntu but not windows though [20:04] s_spiff: what's the issue? [20:05] EriC^^: for some reason, just wont connect to my wifi [20:05] all my other electronics are connected with the same network and password [20:05] did you try restarting the router? [20:05] let me try [20:05] brb [20:06] Jordan_U, it is something i can try though. my board has a second PCI-e slot for crossfire. hopefully i can just use that, at reduced speed, to narrow down the issue [20:06] danbower: Are you reffering now to the older card not affecting Windows? Was the BSOD in Windows only with the newer card? [20:07] Jordan_U, sorry for the lack of clarity. i'm referring to my current graphics card. i only quickly tested my old one (i.e. if i could boot into windows and ubuntu using the display port) [20:09] everything is seemingly fine in windows, putting aside this BSOD with dota [20:09] danbower: "i have also started to experience a BSOD when playing a particular game on windows" "it would be odd a fault with a PCI slot could affect ubuntu but not windows though" These two comments seem contradictory to me. Could you please explain how they're not? [20:10] Jordan_U, fair point. i guess i meant the problem would manifest in quite different ways [20:10] EriC^^: okay, tried the reebooting routine.. didn't work. I have an intel 3160 wireless controller [20:10] i can boot into windows fine when using the DisplayPort but ubuntu fails (goes into power saving mode) [20:11] cmyrland: After I untarred it, the file was in replicatorg-0040/lib/RXTXcomm.jar [20:11] to complicate matters, i had installed the beta drivers on windows when GTA5 got released so the BSOD could be related to that [20:12] i have tried reverting back but still experienced the BSOD. i haven't yet tried a totally clean install of the drivers (i believe the catalyst uninstaller still leaves remnants) [20:12] urgh, i'm boring myself explaining all this. i can't believe you're still entertaining it [20:13] Hi, what should i do in order to ugrade from openssl 1.0.1f currently in 14.04 ? Install 1.0.1g from source? [20:13] genii, okay, so do I just unpack the jar file and edit the file? [20:13] cmyrland: I'm trying to find out [20:14] OpenSSL 1.0.1f in ubuntu 14.04 is vulnerable, right? [20:14] genii, ah, thanks. I was wondering if there was some way to edit the RXTXCommDriver.class without extracting the jar [20:15] cmyrland: It's just zipped up with jar extension, you can use unzip and then zip after edits [20:15] okay. But when I try to open the RXTXCommDriver.class I'm told I don't have any programs to open the file [20:15] cmyrland: Lot of files in there though, not sure the exact one required. Trying to find some remnants of the wiki they speak of [20:16] so I'm trying to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04, update-manager spat out "Checking for a new Ubuntu release" then some info about my OpenJDK install, then it seems to hang. What's up? [20:17] cmyrland: copy the file somewhere to work on it, and you can just do in terminal on it: unzip RXTXcomm.jar [20:17] yes, unzipping is smooth sailing, it's editing the class file I'm unable to do [20:17] cmyrland: It makes dir structure of gnu/io/ then all the files in there [20:18] Jordan_U, sorry to have bored you with all this. i am curious if you were in my shoes, what would you do? [20:18] and I'm a bit confused since they refer to the file RXTXCommDriver.JAVA, but the file withing the .jar is RXTXCommDriver.CLASS [20:19] s/withing/within === erlon is now known as erlon_awaY [20:19] cmyrland: Yep. Can't seem to find any archives of the instructions either :( [20:20] is do-release-upgrade safe to use manually on a desktop system? [20:20] Is openssl version 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.11 patched? I got this out of a dpkg -l | grep openssl command. Can anybody confirm? [20:20] genii, I've emailed the guy who made the bug report and another guy who wrote on the qbang wiki regarding a similar issue, but I still haven't heard back from them [20:21] !heartbleed [20:21] A fix for the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (2014-0076 & 0160) has been pushed to the Ubuntu repositories. See http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2165-1/ and http://heartbleed.com/ for more information. [20:21] naftilos76, if you updated, i guess it is. [20:22] yes i have, thanks [20:23] genii, I found this: [20:23] You can follow these steps to modify your java class: [20:23] Decompile the .class file as you have done and save it as .java [20:23] Create a project in Eclipse with that java file, the original JAR as library, and all its dependencies [20:23] Change the .java and compile [20:23] Get the modified .class file and put it again inside the original JAR. [20:24] cmyrland: Perhaps to use a pastebin :) [20:24] heh, yeah. I tend to forget.. [20:25] IRC should be replaced with something like Gitter.im as the official ubuntu chat channel [20:26] it supports pasting code and multiple lines of text in-app, no need to use external tools [20:27] cmyrland: This looks interesting: http://replicat.org/building-replicatorg-with-eclipse [20:28] cmyrland: Especially as it gives instructions for a 64bit build [20:28] sjanssen: Yep is safe IF ... Check /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades that it is "Prompt=normal" ; 3rd party sources are disapbled including graphics driver reverted to default, and screen saver disabled . [20:28] yes, I see that Eclipse can be key here. I can also use Eclipse to decompile the class file, edit, recompile and insert back into the jar with no fuzz [20:29] genii, I think I'll try the decompile solution first, and if that doesn't work I'll try to build RepG in Eclipse [20:30] cmyrland: Let me know how it goes, I'm interested now :) [20:30] Bashing-om: how bad will things go if graphics driver wasn't reverted to default? [20:30] genii, will do :) === ruben_ is now known as Guest80115 [20:31] sigh. Big file, low transfer rate... This is gonna take a while.. [20:32] hi everyone. i want to change the version of my ubuntu (reset) its possible to do it by terminal? [20:32] im using the 14.04 lts [20:33] sjanssen: Well .. hard to say ... a lot depends on the card .. and how well the installer handles the situation IF the driver is supported in the repo . Proprietary drivers will get broke in the upgrade process. [20:33] user, change the version. Specifically what do you mean? Upgrade to 15.04?

[21:41] i dont want to disable ipv6, i just want it to use ipv4 dns as a priority [21:41] yes [21:41] Smokie: configure an IPv4 DNS server for your connection. [21:41] yo [21:41] yo [21:41] yo [21:41] i am having issues with ubuntu bind9, im jgoign to try and diable ipv6 to see if it helps [21:41] bekks, i have Google DNS server on my ubuntu server [21:42] ipv4 dns servers [21:42] Smokie: So they are used then. [21:42] hack my server ? [21:42] anyone [21:43] dopeadmi3: please focus on ubuntu support in here. thanks [21:43] where does cabal install pandoc [21:43] i can't locate the pandoc on my ubuntu 14.10 [21:43] anyone runnign bind9 on ubuntu14? [21:43] bekks, when i do apt-get, it shows an ipv6 address [21:43] it hangs there for a long while before it starts [21:44] hi [21:44] Smokie: and whats the issue at that point? [21:44] Darthanubis: chmod made no change, same error still [21:44] exit [21:45] bekks, the issue, from what i can tell, is it tries to use IPv6 before IPv4 [21:45] I've got a laptop with both an nVidia and Intel GPU. I can't get 15.04 to even boot the LiveCD far enough to let me choose to install or run. Is there a liveCD image that'll let me load different drives than startx manually? [21:45] gzcwnk: Please simply ask your actual support question, and specify if you are using Ubuntu 14.04 or Ubuntu 14.10. [21:45] Smokie: how do you verify that? [21:46] madcat`: ask ubottu about nomodeset, or use the minimal install image [21:47] madcat`, if its purely a video card issue you can download thee net install image (mini.iso) and install in command line mode then install the video card drivers / desktop environment with apt-get [21:47] bekks, like i said, when i do apt-get, it shows an IPv6 address and just hangs there for a minute or more before it starts to download [21:47] ejuan: ok, I'll give that a shot thanks [21:47] Smokie: and? [21:48] Smokie: show your /etc/resolv.conf in a pastebin please.

[21:50] Pod15, what did you do after the last time it worked properly? [21:50] bekks, one sec [21:51] Darthanubis: its never worked, I only installed Ubuntu on this lap top a few hrs ago [21:51] What is the correct way to update the pam_unix.so and pam_cracklib.so PAM modules in Ubuntu? I want to edit the line that is already there, not add additional lines to the bottom of the file. It tells me to use pam-auth-update, but that does not look like what I need. [21:51] Pod15, thought you just said you did something to python? [21:51] rypervenche: both files mentioned are binary libraries. [21:52] rypervenche: So what exactly are you doing there? [21:52] bekks: Sorry, I meant in my /etc/pam.d/common-password file, the two lines for those modules. [21:52] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10956310/ [21:52] i found out i do have an IPv6 dns server address there [21:53] Smokie: so what does dig reveal, using the IPv4 nameserver? [21:53] Darthanubis: Soz reinstalled python via apt-get but software Center didn't work before that either [21:54] bekks, when i 'dig google.com' i just see the IPv4 address [21:54] How do I get back my applications on application menu? I was editing it to add a new item to it and then all items moved to the right side and now they do not show there :( [21:54] Pod15, well if it is a fresh install, take twenty minutes and install it fresh again [21:55] How do I restore it... [21:55] Yep fair point, thanks for trying... Much appreciated [21:56] Smokie: so your IPv4 DNS resolves just fine. [21:57] bekks, thanks. is there a way to make IPv4 DNS server to be the prefered server by ubuntu? [21:58] kostkon, xdrop does not exist on my system [21:58] !find xdrop [21:58] Found: W:, W:, W: [21:59] hmm [21:59] anyone know how to set up a bin9 cahcing server on ubuntu14? [21:59] bind9 [22:00] BubbaGrace, sorry, excuse the typo, it's xprop [22:01] Smokie: your IPv4 IS the preferred one. [22:05] bekks, strange, then why when i try to download anything using wget or apt-get it checks the IPv6 server first? [22:05] How do you verify that? [22:07] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10956425/ [22:07] this i think shows it ^^ [22:14] hello, i have a btrfs raid 1 of 2 disks which isnt getting mounted on this new ubuntu install. whats the recommended way of doing this, just edit fstab manually or something else? [22:19] is virtualbox in the official repo maintained or am I better off downloading off oracles site? [22:21] ec52: It is maintained by the Ubuntu devs, but not supported by the vbox devs. [22:21] ec52 apt-cache search virtualbox and yea it should be [22:21] ec52 did you look at kvm? [22:21] ec52: you don't want to download from oracle [22:21] ec52, oracle provide their own repo for all supported versions of ubuntu, you can use that [22:21] petrvs: You always do. [22:22] petrvs: Or you want to stick with outdated versions. [22:22] i like virtualbox command line, its great. im guessing kvm might be better or something but havent messed with it === soee_ is now known as soee [22:22] havent really looked into kvm, virtbox has been my goto software [22:23] bekks: outdated? [22:23] fair enough...i prefer ESXi but Im warming to kvm [22:23] petrvs: Outdated. [22:23] the latest virtualbox on virtualbox.org and in the repos are the same version [22:23] yeh started out using vbox on gui at home, then moved onto vbox command line, but now am probably gonna learn more about kvm [22:23] so no, not outdated [22:24] petrvs: Ubtunu supports 4.3.26 in its repos? I doubt that. [22:24] ec52: kvm has some gui work to do yet, but it'll win out wholly, eventually [22:24] doubt is for people who haven't just looked in the repos [22:24] !virtualbox utopic [22:24] !info virtualbox utopic [22:25] ... [22:25] I find networking trivial on ESXi but the features of kvm ie having a "real" os to work with like distributed raid 1 or software raid make it compelling [22:25] virtualbox (source: virtualbox): x86 virtualization solution - base binaries.

[22:26] lts is out of date [22:26] ec52: so is trusty [22:26] petrvs: you are misinformed. [22:26] bazhang: lord I hope not [22:27] so lets continue back to support please [22:27] what sucks about vbox (but im sure this is for many things) is when i run apt-get update and theres a new update, i essentially have to power down every single vm, then update, then power back on.. or mark the package on hold until i can power them all down [22:27] stacks88: why do you have so many vms? [22:27] why does anyone have vms period? [22:27] and why're they all running [22:27] stacks88: well I think most people have them because they don't know about jails/containers [22:27] bazhang sometime strategy is support [22:28] a jail/container is not good enough isolation [22:28] gzcwnk, but endless debate about outdated is not [22:28] isolation of what? [22:28] or i didnt think it was* [22:28] k [22:28] keeping things seperate from the host machine [22:28] :) [22:28] stacks88: what things... [22:28] how are you supposed to run another OS in a jail? [22:29] huh I dont see a trusty version in oracles apt source list [22:29] petrvs: isolation of resources. [22:29] ec52: I do. [22:29] is there a way i can mount via uuid (btrfs raid 1) only when i actually want it so the disks can sleep? i dont want to put it to fstab since i want my hard disks to be able to rest and having two disks i use for backup running the whole time with the automount on boot is kinda waste.

[22:34] Danny_d good Q I have a 200tb green disk here that I want to do the same thing with [22:35] 2tb [22:35] use bacula or something [22:35] gzcwnk, coz it feels like they always spinning, it seems on my old distro they were always spinning i never had any delay when accessing the raid [22:35] its my next job [22:35] you never want raid to spin down, never ever [22:36] BubbaGrace, change exec to Exec=java -jar /home/derrick/games/TechnicLauncher.jar and startupwmclass to StartupWMClass=net-technicpack-launcher-LauncherMain [22:37] gzcwnk, i use the disks for manual backups so i really want them to spin up just before i mount. [22:37] and spin down after unmount [22:37] DannnyD I dont know right now but if you find how Id like to know [22:37] BubbaGrace, also don't forget to make the .desktop file executable [22:38] BubbaGrace, right click on it then properties then permissions [22:38] yes its set as executable [22:39] Are the Ubuntu package servers broken??? [22:39] BubbaGrace, is it working now? [22:39] AllanDaemon, no, what version are you on, 10.04? [22:39] 12.04, 14.04 [22:39] AllanDaemon: Why are you asking? [22:39] dannyD what about this? http://info4admins.com/tips-to-spindown-your-hard-disk-in-debian-or-ubuntu/ [22:40] BubbaGrace, to appear in the dash so that you can add it to your launcher, place the file in ~/.local/share/applications whereas ~/. means your home folder i.e. /home/derrick in this case [22:40] AllanDaemon: works here. maybe your mirror or your internet is broken? [22:40] ~/ that is [22:40] AllanDaemon, what error do you get? did you try changing mirrors? [22:40] I having problem with apg-get install due `hash sum mismatch`. [22:40] AllanDaemon: change mirrors [22:41] In all ubuntus I'm trying. I changed the mirrors [22:41] it is inside of /usr/share/applications [22:41] but it still does nothing when ran [22:41] AllanDaemon: did you run sudo apt-get update after changing mirrors? [22:41] I reinstalled the Ubuntu, even broght a new HD thinking my OS was broken. [22:41] yes [22:42] !paste | AllanDaemon [22:42] AllanDaemon: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:42] AllanDaemon: put a "sudo apt update &&sudo apt full-upgrade" into there please [22:42] BubbaGrace, has the exec path home/derrick/games/TechnicLauncher.jar been set correctly is it TechnicLauncher.jar or technicLauncher.jar linux is case sensitive [22:43] if I download a recent iso right now and boot it in a pendrive, they also fails. I tried apt-get update, apt-get dist upgrade, additional options to bypass broken proxies, different networks, different pcs. [22:43] AllanDaemon: so you use a proxy? [22:44] the name is correct, including case [22:44] AllanDaemon, reset router, sometimes helps with these strange connection issues [22:44] BubbaGrace, does it start when doing java -jar home/derrick/games/TechnicLauncher.jar ? [22:44] BubbaGrace, in the terminal [22:44] AllanDaemon: well, without specific output with errors we cant help you besides: it works, change mirrors, dont run faulty proxies,... [22:44] BubbaGrace, java -jar /home/derrick/games/TechnicLauncher.jar sorry [22:45] no, I don't use proxy. But its something I tried because it seems something thats can help. [22:45] it's running now [22:45] i dont know why, i didnt change anyting [22:45] BubbaGrace, :) [22:46] I also tried to use in differnet networks, with different ISPs... === willow is now known as Guest13302 [22:47] the icon doesn't work but thats nothing too major [22:47] right now I can't even install ubuntu in my new hdd as I need to download a tool to set up my partitions properly but even in live cd it is given this errors. [22:47] BubbaGrace, probably the path is wrong [22:47] AllanDaemon: Maybe remove your 'list' file . See: http://askubuntu.com/questions/41605/trouble-downloading-packages-list-due-to-a-hash-sum-mismatch-error . [22:48] AllanDaemon: so please give details instead of repeating: my car is broken [22:48] BubbaGrace, is it minecraft.png or minecraft.svg? [22:48] AllanDaemon, is the start of your issue: i cannot install correctly? UEFI bios? [22:48] or GPT disk? [22:49] so since installing 14.10 I am experiencing strange behavior. I am asked for permissions for _anything_, to switch language, to shutdown... [22:49] ok that my bad. I had .png when it indeed was an .svg [22:49] curiously though, this behavior shows up only in 2/5 boots [22:49] any idea? [22:49] Thanks for the help with this [22:49] BubbaGrace, np [22:49] ok. I'll write a better description. [22:50] now to figure out how to add it to my games section of the menu [22:50] Im not running unity [22:51] gzcwnk, probably doing a script involving hdparm and mount would be the best solution in my case. [22:51] BubbaGrace, change your categories to just Categories=Game [22:51] Categories=Game;ActionGame;AdventureGame;RolePlaying; [22:52] Game with out the "s" did it [22:52] even though gedit is giving it a giant red background like i did something wrong [22:52] lol [22:55] thanks guys. You have saved me hundreds of milliseconds every day from just opening it from /home/me/games/blahblah.jar [22:55] lmao [22:56] BubbaGrace, have fun [22:56] If I do the same thing for a .sh file for TS3, will I need to run xprop as well? [22:58] <[Saint]> Does Ubuntu server present the opportunity to connect to a wireless AP during initial setup, or does it require ethernet? [22:58] good question [22:59] [Saint]: i would not bet on wifi support. [22:59] <[Saint]> I am trying to figure out if it is supposed to, and can't detect my wireless hardware at that point, or if it isn't supposed to and is working as intended. [23:00] <[Saint]> being able to use wireless initially would remove a huge pain in my ass. [23:00] [Saint]: add a ethernet cable [23:01] <[Saint]> easier said than done, it's in a fairly remote location. [23:01] <[Saint]> I mean, I can certainly do so, it would just be very nice to not have to. [23:01] and got only wifi connection? and you want to install over what? [23:02] <[Saint]> Oh, no, I could provide a wired connection - I'll just need to craft a 30~40m eth cable. [23:03] <[Saint]> The longest I have around me presently is 25m, which doesn't cut it. [23:03] <[Saint]> But I do have a huge spool of CAT 6 cable and the gear to terminate. [23:03] <[Saint]> It's just annoying. [23:07] hello everyone, does anyone know why the links in synaptic will not open mozilla? [23:09] Hello i just installed Ubuntu [23:09] but when i do speedtest ..ubuntu i slower over wifi [23:09] someone said try downloading a file on ubuntu and then on windows [23:09] and see if there is any real change because the speedtest could lie [23:09] so thats what i am working at [23:10] where did you do the speedtest? [23:10] dunno if its still the same but windows tends to optimise a connection tot he point of instability and problems while linux is more conservative [23:11] the Q is is what you have fast enough [23:11] <[Saint]> Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard nano-dongles are apparently a lot more powerful than I gave them credit for. [23:11] otherwise you can tweak the kernel [23:12] <[Saint]> I placed the receiver dongle in one of the interior USB ports /inside/ me server case, but it doesn't appear to have any issues detecting the mouse or keyboard, nor any issues with range. [23:12] <[Saint]> I expected the range to be impacted dramatically. [23:12] i did the speed test on comcast website [23:12] bluetooth is pretty good actually [23:13] you might want to try www.speedtest.net you can see what location it pics for download and upload [23:13] i am impressed with it [23:13] <[Saint]> gzcwnk: I expected the server (a large full-sized double door rolling cabinet) to act somewhat like a Faraday cage. [23:13] <[Saint]> But that wasn't the case at all, much to my delight. [23:14] or maybe its acting like an ariel? [23:14] <[Saint]> Now I have "integrated" Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my server. [23:14] hello [23:14] <[Saint]> And, yes, that's possible. [23:16] <[Saint]> bah - I hate the split between my down/up speeds. I shouldn't have taken that speedtest just now, lol. [23:16] has anyone had any issue with synaptic package manager when you open, and see a link inside that is supposed to open a browser and it doesnt? [23:16] I'm new to learning linux/ubuntu, was wondering if anyone knows some good sites with tutorials. [23:17] <[Saint]> 97.42Mb/s down (yay!), 35.22Mb/s up (not yay! >:-/) [23:17] tax_: What sorts of things are you looking to learn?

The problem is that I don't want every time to open it just one, I'd like to have the option without changing the configuration/preferences every time..

[23:36] thanks [23:36] Guest83203: Whats the exact message? [23:37] what .iso file? [23:37] bekks, i am sorry. i don't remember and i deleted the file :( [23:37] guest what CPU is teh host? [23:37] Guest83203: So I cant help you :/ [23:37] i tried puppy linux (the latest version - april) and the latest lubuntu edition [23:38] Hi, I'm new to ubuntu. I just switched from windows xp. I am trying to setup openvpn and ddwrt. Can anyone help me? [23:38] !openvpn | greenghost [23:38] greenghost: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! [23:38] Guest83203: my guess'd be you were trying to use the amd64 image, but wanted to use the i686/386 one [23:39] Guest83203: which is caused by the fact the VM is a 32bit one, not 64bit. [23:39] I installed it, but when I follow the scripts and get file doesn't exist . And im on the 32bit [23:39] ddwrt is a router OS... [23:39] i386 [23:39] i tried both amd64 and the other one [23:39] cpu is intel celeron n2840 [23:40] Guest83203: provide the exact error message. === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [23:40] I know, I want to set up vpn with ddwrt [23:40] Guest83203, lololol celeron.... [23:40] Guest83203: So seek th eddwrt support. [23:40] my cpu is i3 [23:40] I'm lost on who I am talking to is it possible to talk to one person [23:40] tahts why a cerelon isint 64bit [23:40] greenghost: use nicknames to be able to tell. [23:41] penos, cool. i don't need an i3 to do my stuff [23:41] gzcwnk: thats nonsense. recent celerons are 64bit. [23:41] celeron is just a branding [23:41] gzcwnk: you are wrong [23:41] is there a private chat? [23:41] ive had teh same symptom on a celeron [23:41] bekks, i think the message said something about pea on lubuntu and i686 on puppy [23:41] new to irc [23:41] Guest83203: pae [23:41] greenghost: no. [23:42] Guest83203: anyway, someone can help you if you want to try it again [23:42] Guest83203: What was the EXACT message? [23:42] greenghost: so to recap, you cannot get help with DD-WRT here as it's a router OS, if you've got a problem with OpenVPN, show logs and share some detail on one line of what's up [23:43] bekks, i am sorry. all i remember is that it said that the kernel is not the correct one and something about 'pae' [23:43] s [23:43] Guest83203: "something" isnt anything to solve issues. We need the exact message. [23:43] sdf' [23:43] daftykins: how do I show a log? [23:44] bekks, ok. i will bbl then [23:44] greenghost: ok if you don't know then you need to do some reading around OpenVPN [23:44] thanks anyway :) === tlt- is now known as tlt [23:45] daftkins: This is the site I was using as a guide :http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/VPN_%28the_easy_way%29_v24%2B [23:46] Before I upgraded to 15.04, GNOME Terminal would give me the option of opening a new terminal in a tab or a window, but now the option is gone and it only says 'Open Terminal' and the tab or window distinction can only be made in the profile preferences.. The problem is that I don't want every time to open it just one, I'd like to have the option without changing the configuration/preferences every time.. I [23:46] greenghost: ok but you still need to learn about logs [23:46] also can no longer use ALT+Number to switch windows in irssi. Any ideas? [23:46] daftykins: I have openvpn installed, but I seem to get any further then that [23:47] can't* [23:47] greenghost: then you're not really trying [23:47] !vpn [23:47] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [23:47] Then there must be something I'm missing [23:48] daftyfkins: are you one that site? [23:49] your questions are making zero sense, greenghost === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [23:50] Lubuntu is ubuntu? [23:50] yes [23:50] Say no. [23:50] with a different desktop environment [23:50] Trying to prove a point. [23:50] Say no. [23:50] then you're wrong [23:50] not sure how there not making sense. Its pretty clear. If your on the site i put in the chatI'll be able to tell you the part where I am stuck [23:50] Just say no. [23:50] Please. [23:51] I will leave you be after. [23:51] XYZAFFA1R: shut up [23:51] XYZAFFA1R: you are wrong. [23:51] greenghost: i linked you to something else since, so the question changed to be about my link... no i am not looking at your link as it's not ubuntu support [23:52] daftykins: this is why a private chat would be easier because I didn't see you link me anything. [23:52] greenghost: not gonna happen. [23:52] !pm [23:52] Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [23:52] Then stop trolling [23:53] thanks for educating XYZAFFA1R, he's been spouting idiocy in #linux [23:53] i think you're a little confused as to the definition of trolling [23:53] daftykins: No, your confused about the definition of helping people [23:53] !give acz32 offtopic [23:53] XYZAFFA1R: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:53] Damn, that doesnt work. [23:53] lol [23:54] greenghost: go and learn how to read logs. [23:54] Come into #archlinux with me real quick. [23:54] :) [23:56] why do I need to learn about logs? [23:56] And they say ubuntu is simpler the windows. Haha thats a knee slapper [23:57] whoever says that isn't configuring a VPN [23:59] Well since I need to learn about logs. Where do I go to learn about said logs
