| netgear | i updated manually it says the name of the monitor and stuff but i dont know what i did to make it stop working, possibly software unrelated to graphics. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | have you at any point removed the mains power cable from the monitor? | 00:01 |
| netgear | i feel ok if on board doesn't mean it may break the i7 itself this is my first new computer since 11 years heh | 00:01 |
| netgear | only after it stopped working, i moved it to a new comp to test monitor ect... | 00:01 |
| daftykins | did a different monitor have the same issue over DVI? | 00:02 |
| netgear | but actually i think it only skipped bios until i did remove power... may be on to something but it was skipping bios first | 00:02 |
| netgear | that comp has vga xp box very old :( | 00:03 |
| daftykins | do those machines have stickers on to prevent you opening them? | 00:04 |
| netgear | seems odd that it was only skipping bios i removed monitor power then it would not load at all, may be a on to something. | 00:04 |
| netgear | nope | 00:04 |
| netgear | i opened it freely | 00:04 |
| netgear | suprised since they claim a year support | 00:04 |
| daftykins | hmm | 00:05 |
| netgear | want to add a coolmaster glad i did not just in case something else goes wrong. heh | 00:05 |
| daftykins | wouldn't hurt to plug in with VGA, enter the EFI and load defaults for a test | 00:06 |
| netgear | EFI? sorry | 00:07 |
| daftykins | then power off, plug DVI in instead and try again | 00:07 |
| daftykins | EFI setup = BIOS setup | 00:07 |
| netgear | ok cool anything is worth a try thanks | 00:07 |
| netgear | i did change fast booting in bios only time i went into it because i read someone having similar issue, no help tho | 00:07 |
| daftykins | you're kinda suffering from an issue we call verbal diarrhoea right now | 00:08 |
| daftykins | only it's coming through your fingers :) | 00:08 |
| netgear | im not sober sorry i meant i went into bios one time and removed fast booting feature because someone online said it could cause the bios skipping issue | 00:09 |
| netgear | i appreciate your help to the community :) | 00:10 |
| NotAPerson | is there a real time kernel? | 00:25 |
| XenophonF | hi all - has anyone reported problems with the intel-microcode package breaking initrd creation/updates on 15.04 (amd64)? | 00:26 |
| XenophonF | with the intel-microcode package installed, the generated initrd is malformed (https://gist.github.com/xenophonf/cb2fd45a0b3cb0831c02) | 00:26 |
| XenophonF | in that it is both (1) not gzipped and (2) missing many, many files | 00:27 |

| Hanz_Zimmer | Hello, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04 with three monitors. My graphics card is a GTX 760 and 2 monitors are connected via DVI and the third is connected via an HDMI-DVI adapter. When I first installed Ubuntu, only the second DVI montior and the HDMI monitor were detected. I added the repository and installed the newest available driver, Nvidia-349 and restarted. Now, all three monitors are detected. But the first DVI monito | 01:08 |
| daftykins | "but the first DVI monito..." ? | 01:08 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | ... But the first DVI monitor won't go above 1360x768. | 01:09 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | sorry, guess my client cut it off | 01:09 |
| daftykins | nah it's a server limit i think | 01:09 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | I've tried using xrandr, but after adding my desired resolution it just says invalid paramater when trying to switch to it | 01:10 |
| daftykins | what did your command look like? | 01:10 |
| obelix__ | Hi | 01:10 |
| daftykins | does /var/log/Xorg.0.log give any clues? | 01:10 |
| daftykins | lo | 01:10 |
| daftykins | obelix__: where's Asterix? | 01:11 |
| daftykins | :> | 01:11 |
| netgear | good night room thx again daftykins | 01:11 |
| daftykins | did you try it? | 01:11 |
| obelix__ | Im not sure. My eyes have become pretty bad, I dont see so small things any more | 01:11 |
| netgear | the wire? going to shut down and try tonight :) | 01:11 |
| daftykins | obelix__: :D | 01:11 |
| netgear | or the bios? | 01:11 |
| daftykins | netgear: yeah the EFI defaults load | 01:11 |
| netgear | never worked in the bios i have to look around | 01:12 |
| daftykins | well you'd have to set it over VGA yeah | 01:12 |
| netgear | i will maybe will wait for system76 to answer i just noted all you told me in gnote tho :) | 01:12 |
| netgear | the bios actually lets you move around via mouse seems nice compared to the old days | 01:13 |
| obelix__ | Im new to this IRC thing, is there anyone who would be willing to answer me some things in private chat? | 01:13 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | This was my command: xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1 1920x1080_60.00 | 01:13 |
| daftykins | !pm | 01:13 |
| ubottu | 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. | 01:13 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: hmm that interface name looks wrong | 01:13 |
| hellhound | Can someone assist me with sleep/suspend mode. I have 14.10 installed and sleep/suspend will only work the first time the computer is booted up. after that first sleep/suspend it will not do it again even through the command prompt until I restart. | 01:14 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Here is a copy of the output of xrandr. Which gave me the name of the interface | 01:14 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | http://pastebin.com/De1rcKrp | 01:14 |
| linuxmint | Hello, I was told an IcedTea error on my Firefox browser is an Ubuntu issue. Is that right and could someone help me? http://dpaste.com/01C5JB8 | 01:15 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: hrmm perhaps it's a card limitation | 01:16 |
| obelix__ | How many of You know elementary os(thats built on ubuntu) | 01:16 |
| daftykins | !elementary | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 01:16 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: it obviously doesn't think that display can do anything higher - weird for DDC to be wrong on a digital connection, so i think it's a restriction | 01:17 |
| obelix__ | Thank You | 01:17 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | The Gigabyte GTX can support up to 4 monitors though? | 01:18 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Gigabyte GTX 760* | 01:18 |
| daftykins | with at least one DP in the mix i'd expect | 01:18 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: you tried Windows to see if it's capable? | 01:18 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | No I haven't. I suspect it's not the issue though because when I disconnect the problematic monitor, and connect the other two monitors by DVI and a third TV by hdmi, all three work at 1920x1080 | 01:20 |
| daftykins | oooooh the monitor is acting up | 01:20 |
| daftykins | ok yeah, its' DDC must be read wrong | 01:20 |
| JFlash | help! | 01:20 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | DDC? | 01:20 |
| daftykins | display data channel, it telling its' information over the cable of what it's capable of | 01:21 |
| JFlash | I'm getting this error Cannot run program "/home/jay/sdks/flex_14_1/lib/android/bin/adb": error=2, No such file or director | 01:21 |
| daftykins | EDID info fetching basically | 01:21 |
| daftykins | JFlash: there's no file of that name :) pretty self explanatory | 01:21 |
| JFlash | daftykins, the file adb.exe does exist there | 01:21 |
| daftykins | .exe ? that's a Windows executable | 01:21 |
| JFlash | yes | 01:22 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | So is there any way I can override DDC? | 01:22 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: well xrandr would've been the way, but it seems it refuses to even try | 01:22 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Any suggestions on how I can proceed from here? | 01:23 |
| JFlash | daftykins, yes its an .exe | 01:23 |
| daftykins | JFlash: and why are you trying to use an adb executable on a Linux system? | 01:23 |
| JFlash | daftykins, compile a apk version of my app | 01:24 |
| daftykins | Hanz_Zimmer: nah not really :S when it's the only display natively on DVI, i take it it runs 1920x1080 fine? | 01:24 |
| JFlash | daftykins, using intellij IDE | 01:24 |
| daftykins | JFlash: you realise you can't run a Windows .exe on Linux without Wine right? | 01:24 |
| JFlash | daftykins, and Apache flex SDK | 01:24 |
| daftykins | it says "adb" doesn't exist because "adb.exe" != "adb" | 01:24 |
| JFlash | daftykins, I do have wine installed and properly configured | 01:25 |
| Ben64 | JFlash: and adb.exe is not what you want | 01:25 |
| daftykins | right but it doesn't know how to call that via wine because it knows that's ridiculous | 01:25 |
| Ben64 | because thats for windows, this is linux, and adb doesn't have anything to do with compiling for android | 01:25 |
| JFlash | daftykins, makes sense but where I find out how to change this path? | 01:25 |
| daftykins | you're going about your task completely wrong | 01:25 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Well, just unplugging didn't give me any more resolution options. I'll restart | 01:25 |
| JFlash | this is an error that INtellij is throwing at me | 01:26 |
| JFlash | I havent configured this path by myself | 01:26 |
| Ben64 | look at the error | 01:26 |
| Ben64 | "No such file or directory" | 01:26 |
| JFlash | Ben64, I've heard that you can get such errors even when the file does exist | 01:27 |
| Ben64 | does it exist? | 01:27 |
| JFlash | Ben64, related to 32 binaries on 64bit oses | 01:27 |
| daftykins | JFlash: run this: "file /home/jay/sdks/flex_14_1/lib/android/bin/adb" | 01:28 |
| JFlash | ok nm. I get it... its probably looking for the wrong file, not a .exe | 01:28 |
| daftykins | lol | 01:28 |
| daftykins | now you get it | 01:28 |
| JFlash | daftykins, wil try | 01:28 |
| daftykins | it'll tell you "there's no file with that name" | 01:28 |
| JFlash | so, I run the command on the terminal | 01:29 |
| daftykins | well you don't hum it :) | 01:29 |
| JFlash | as you say without exe it cannot find it | 01:30 |
| daftykins | mmhmm, because it doesn't exist | 01:30 |
| JFlash | np, will try to find where to change it thanks | 01:30 |
| daftykins | no, install adb and then symlink it there | 01:30 |
| daftykins | you REALLY can't use a .exe | 01:30 |
| JFlash | daftykins, already installed adb , however INtelij will not use default adb | 01:31 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | When I tried booting with it being the only connected device it just booted to a blinking cursor | 01:31 |
| Ben64 | yeah, really need adb installed properly | 01:31 |
| JFlash | daftykins, it will call wherever is on that directory | 01:31 |
| JFlash | daftykins, adb itself runs well on the command line | 01:31 |
| JFlash | erm.. terminal | 01:31 |
| JFlash | wait | 01:32 |
| JFlash | sym sinking | 01:32 |
| JFlash | that's an awesome idea | 01:32 |
| Ben64 | linking | 01:32 |
| JFlash | lol | 01:32 |
| JFlash | sorry, typo | 01:32 |
| * JFlash goes find out how to create symlinks | 01:33 | |
| Ben64 | man ln | 01:33 |
| daftykins | ln -s /path/here /another/path/there | 01:33 |
| JFlash | but how do i find out where adb is installed | 01:33 |
| Ben64 | which adb | 01:33 |
| JFlash | tks | 01:33 |
| explodes | can i just. use. kernel 4? | 01:34 |
| Ben64 | explodes: sure, but its not supported here | 01:34 |
| farf | hi all | 01:41 |
| daftykins | lo | 01:41 |
| farf | i'm having trouble setting a default browser, i've tried everything obvious (update-alternatives and the control panel setting) | 01:41 |
| farf | but when the terminal launches a url is always asks for a default browser | 01:42 |
| farf | and every time i reboot chromium forgets i set it as default | 01:42 |

| farf | daftykins: it says sudo update-alternatives --config www-browser | 01:46 |
| farf | i mean, i don't have www-browser | 01:46 |
| daftykins | *shrug* only linked it, don't understand it i'm afraid | 01:47 |
| `hypermist` | oh thanks daftykins xD | 01:47 |

| JFlash | guys, here's what solved my problem | 01:59 |
| daftykins | not trying to use Windows executables on Linux \o/ | 01:59 |
| JFlash | since the framework was trying to call all the .exes without an using a file extension, I created a symlink for each .exe | 02:00 |
| daftykins | *facepalm* | 02:00 |
| JFlash | now I'm happy camper and I can export my Android application and collec the money on the bank tomorrow | 02:00 |

| Bashing-om | scrren/screen* | 02:28 |
| guest81238 | i get to a point where i usually would select the operating systems, but there are none to select, just a 'system setup' option | 02:28 |
| guest81238 | when i enter that it just says commands not found or soemthing like that | 02:28 |
| Bashing-om | guest81238: "system setup' ? is this release 15.04 ? | 02:29 |
| guest81238 | dunno | 02:29 |
| guest81238 | its the only option i get | 02:29 |
| guest81238 | but anyway, my original question, could restoring master boot record solve my problem? | 02:30 |
| Bashing-om | guest81238: What results at this log in screen (?) when key combo ctl+alt+F4 is executed ? | 02:30 |
| guest81238 | dunno, didn't try | 02:30 |
| guest81238 | im running live | 02:30 |
| Bashing-om | guest81238: Not enough info to KNOW this is a grub booting issue. | 02:31 |
| guest81238 | probably is | 02:31 |
| guest81238 | either grub or master boot record | 02:31 |
| guest81238 | would completly reinstalling grub fix the issue of no operating systems to select | 02:31 |
| guest81238 | because i know that they exist and can be booted from because i can access them from the live distro i am using now | 02:31 |
| guest81238 | the files are there | 02:32 |
| guest81238 | on different partitions | 02:32 |
| guest81238 | im thinking reinstalling grub completly will solve problem | 02:33 |

| Hanz_Zimmer | I recently bought a GTX 760 because I was fed up with the driver support for my AMD card. I installed the 760 and restarted my computer and reinstalled Ubuntu 15.04. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Currently, it's hooked up to three separate monitors. The first two monitors are connected to the DVI ports and the third monitor is connected through the HDMI port via a DVI adapter. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | On the first boot, the monitor connected to my first DVI port displayed all of the POST, the GRUB, and the booting stages. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Immediately after the login screen loaded, the first DVI monitor turned off, and the two other monitors turned on. So I ran apt-get update && upgrade and rebooted. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | Nothing was fixed so I switched to the NVIDIA driver rather than the Nouvea driver in Additional Drivers. After rebooting, I the third monitor came on but I couldn't change the resolution past 800x600. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | So I downloaded the 346.59 64 bit driver and switched over to my virtual terminal and stopped the lightdm service. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | I installed the driver, rebooted, and then after rebooting the third monitor was still detected but I couldn't increase teh resolution past 800x600 | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | I've tried both Ubuntu 14.04 and 15.04. I've also tried using the 340, 340-updates, 346, 346-updates, and nvidia-current drivers. | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | All yield the same results. Except one of them, I can't remember which, allowed me to increase my resolution to 1366x768 | 02:48 |
| Hanz_Zimmer | I've also tried using xrandr, but it just says that my parameters aren't accurate though I'm pretty sure I followed hte steps correctly | 02:48 |

| OerHeks | Guest81238_, maybe there is something else going wrong, do you have a Bios or UEFI-bios? | 02:53 |
| Guest81238_ | what do you mean? | 02:53 |
| Guest81238_ | i am thinking another problem could be that grub is trying to boot of another place other than dev/sda | 02:53 |

| Guest81238_ | yea | 03:03 |
| Guest81238_ | to be more accurate /dev/sda7 | 03:05 |
| Guest81238_ | any ideas? | 03:06 |

| emanuel | Helo. I just got an old Thinkpad G41 up and running on ubuntu but there seems t be a video lag. When I type something it takes a few sconds to show on the screen | 03:08 |
| Guest81238_ | so nobody can help solve my problem? | 03:09 |
| emanuel | Any suggestions on what can be cauing the problem and how to resolve? | 03:10 |

| lickalott | daftykins, - http://paste.ubuntu.com/10967511/ | 03:12 |
| emanuel | I wonder if my Window Manager could be the issue. How do I changed to a less "fancy" wm? I think the laptop can't handle the defaukt WM | 03:14 |
| daftykins | lickalott: ok good news is nothing looks wrong with the hard disk | 03:15 |
| daftykins | lickalott: is there only the one? | 03:15 |
| Guest812381 | sorry lag | 03:16 |
| lickalott | no I just ran it on the one with the os loaded | 03:16 |
| lickalott | i have 4 in there. | 03:16 |
| Guest812381 | talking about me? | 03:16 |
| Guest812381 | the pastebin i did | 03:16 |
| daftykins | lickalott: hmm, wouldn't hurt running it on them all | 03:17 |
| lickalott | you want all? Reason I ask is the others are just "storage" and the issue seemed to be with a read only filesystem *i.e. /usr/bin | 03:17 |
| lickalott | ok | 03:17 |
| Guest812381 | sorry im lost, are we talking about my problem or another problem? | 03:17 |
| daftykins | consider it bedtime reading before i go ;) | 03:17 |
| daftykins | Guest812381: before now, do you see me highlighting your nick? | 03:18 |

| Guest812381 | well thanks anyway | 03:19 |
| lickalott | daftykins, sdc was one where ubuntu was loaded. | 03:19 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, whatever installed with the defaulkt install | 03:19 |
| lickalott | appreciate it man! | 03:19 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Have you ever used Fluxbox? | 03:21 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, no | 03:22 |
| daftykins | lickalott: yeah they all look just fine - so must be at the filesystem level or elsewhere! | 03:22 |

| carrera | I just did a fresh 14.04 install on a laptop with GeForce GTS 360M. As you can guess my display crashed as soon as I rebooted after install. What surprised me is that by removing the Nouveau driver, and WITHOUT installing any nvidia drivers, I have hi res graphics after a reboot. As per Nvidia docs on help.ubuntu.com, I used apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | 03:22 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: i've use fluxbox on a number of times. what's your question? (i haven't used fbox in a while and use awesome right now) | 03:22 |
| daftykins | carrera: probably no hardware acceleration though | 03:23 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Can you open software-center? | 03:23 |
| carrera | oh, thanks daftykins! :) | 03:23 |
| carrera | daftykins, and when would I need hardware acceleration? | 03:23 |
| daftykins | if using unity or modern browser HTML 5 stuff perhaps | 03:24 |
| daftykins | or games, yada yada | 03:24 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, yes it will take a bit of time | 03:24 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, ok its open | 03:25 |
| carrera | daftykins, I'm using XFCE and will be using the latest Firefox and Chromium browsers | 03:25 |
| carrera | daftykins, does running Windowz 7 on VirtualBox require hard accl? | 03:25 |
| daftykins | carrera: mmm, probably worth having a proprietary driver on then | 03:25 |
| ryan_46 | OK. You could open it and search for lubuntu. That is the lightest WM in regular flavors. | 03:25 |
| daftykins | depends if you want aero in the guest i suppose | 03:26 |
| daftykins | anywho i really have to sleep, laters \o | 03:26 |
| carrera | daftykins, nah, never liked aero | 03:26 |
| carrera | daftykins, thank you very much for all your help | 03:26 |
| daftykins | np :> | 03:26 |
| carrera | daftykins, I will tell you how the install of 14.04 went when I see you next. It failed once!!! | 03:27 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: for uber-light wm openbox is resonable, fbox is lighter. but the tiling wm's are much lighter still... | 03:27 |
| greenride | After a recent Ubuntu update, my second monitor no longer connects to my laptop. Furthermore, dmesg reveals that unplugging/re-plugging my hdmi cable has no effect. I know this monitor still works since it works with a Mac, and I know that it once worked with Ubuntu. The only thing I can guess is that it's a kernel upgrade that borked things. Any suggestions? | 03:28 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: "regular" may be lubuntu with lxde... then xubuntu... | 03:28 |
| ryan_46 | zykotick9: Yes but I wasn't sure he knew how to use them. | 03:28 |
| zykotick9 | lxde/xfce should be familiar to most... | 03:29 |
| ryan_46 | zykotick9: So he should search for lxde instead of lubuntu? | 03:30 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: lubuntu uses lxde... | 03:30 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, i am getting openbox how do i make that my defult wm? | 03:31 |
| zykotick9 | emanuel: what dm do you use? <- configure it with that | 03:31 |
| ryan_46 | If you install it, then you log out and click the gear thing to select a different DM. | 03:32 |
| emanuel | zykotick9, dm? | 03:32 |
| zykotick9 | emanuel: sorry. dm = desktop manager | 03:32 |
| === erwin is now known as PHPLearner | ||
| zykotick9 | emanuel: lightdm/kdm/gdm/etc... | 03:32 |
| emanuel | zykotick9, ty | 03:32 |
| zykotick9 | what ryan_46 is talking about above! lightdm is default. | 03:33 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: <sidenote> you use the DM to select another DE (Desktop Environment) or WM (Window Manager) ... ;) | 03:34 |
| emanuel | ty all trying now | 03:36 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Have you used Openbox before? It doesn't allow you to miminize windows. Fluxbox does. | 03:36 |
| * zykotick9 really? i find that hard to believe... openbox had a lot more features as i remember it... but fbox was lighter! | 03:37 | |
| ryan_46 | zykotick9: Yeah I used DM instead of wm as I should have. | 03:37 |
| zykotick9 | ryan_46: ;) | 03:37 |
| Rakko | Where are all the places where a system could be set to swap the ctrl and caps lock keys? I did it on mine, long ago, and now I can't find it. I don't seem to have anything calling xkbset in my dot files, and I don't have any ~/.xkb* files; and I can't find the setting at all in Unity settings. | 03:38 |
| Rakko | I also don't see anything Xkb-related globally in /etc | 03:39 |
| Rakko | I also don't have any evidence of xmodmap usage | 03:39 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: in debian i use /etc/default/keyboard with ' XKBOPTIONS="caps:swapescape" ' to swap it in both xorg & console, but i DON'T know if it'll work in ubuntu :| | 03:40 |
| Rakko | oh, yup. that's in mine. | 03:41 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: sorry you where swapping ctrl & caps! salt to taste... | 03:41 |
| Rakko | so it does work in ubuntu | 03:41 |
| Rakko | XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:swapcaps" | 03:41 |
| Rakko | close enough :) | 03:41 |
| Rakko | why are you in #ubuntu? | 03:42 |
| emanuel | Ok I switched managers and this seems faster but I lost my menu bar on the left. How do I get it in Openbox? | 03:42 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Hi. Any luck? | 03:42 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: i used ubuntu from 7.10 -> 10.04 ... i really liked #ubuntu for a long time... | 03:42 |
| Rakko | cool | 03:42 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: In openbox you have to use terminal to start apps | 03:43 |
| Rakko | I used debian for a very long time. I didn't really have any reason to switch to Ubu other than that it seemed like most of the Linux community was gravitating there | 03:43 |
| Rakko | but I just recently installed wheezy on my phone :) | 03:43 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: boo. but i know exactly where you're coming from! </OT i'll stop ;)> | 03:44 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: If you install Fluxbox you can right click and get an applications menu. | 03:44 |
| greenride | I'm having trouble getting a 2nd monitor to connect to my laptop. It is not recognized by system settings nor does the desktop extend to the 2nd monitor. This monitor previously connected to Ubuntu but may have stopped connecting after an update of packages. | 03:44 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, ok. How do I launch software manager so I can get fluxbox and try it? | 03:44 |
| Shed-34046 | How do i partition my other HDD for the efi partition? I have ubuntu installed on the 145GB HDD | 03:45 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Are you on openbox? | 03:46 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, yes I am on openbox | 03:47 |
| Rakko | ah, box window managers... my fav is openbox too | 03:47 |
| Rakko | for a while I ran bbLean on windows xp on a very old laptop. it was nice! | 03:47 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: You can open a terminal and sudo apt-get install Fluxbox. | 03:47 |
| Rakko | it really felt more like a unix-type UI, and it was fast and easily (and endlessly) configured | 03:47 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, thanks will try | 03:48 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: except fluxbox without the capital F my bad. | 03:49 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: cde is what i think unix-type UI pre-gnu/linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment <- it was terrible IMO! | 03:51 |
| Rakko | zykotick9: oh, yeah, I didn't mean that; although I must admit that in my kde days, I would sometimes switch for weeks at a time to the sun cde color scheme and GUI theme | 03:53 |
| Rakko | I found it soothing, and I like retro stuff (even if I never got to use the stuff that served as impetus for it) | 03:53 |
| zykotick9 | Rakko: ;) that theme, is a LOT different from actually running cde | 03:53 |
| Rakko | I suppose | 03:53 |
| zykotick9 | cde itself is not "soothing" ;) | 03:53 |
| Rakko | I can't believe they used that bottom-of-the-screen drawer thing | 03:54 |
| zykotick9 | ^ cde was actually freed a while ago, is it in ubuntu? "apt-cache search cde" anyone? | 03:54 |
| * zykotick9 could check packages.ubuntu.com he suspects... to find out it's not there :p | 03:55 | |
| Rakko | http://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/ | 03:55 |
| emanuel | Ok, it looks good. Much faster. Just have to figure out how to launch calibre now and software updates | 03:55 |
| Rakko | what I'd love is to run sunwindows | 03:56 |
| Rakko | openwindows I mean | 03:56 |
| Rakko | the one with NeWS support, though | 03:56 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: sudo update-manager should do for updates | 03:57 |
| * omgitsmit collective chatroom gasp | 03:57 | |
| Bashing-om | zykotick9: apt-cache show cde >> Filename: pool/universe/c/cde/cde_0.1+git9-g551e54d-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb | 03:58 |

| Rakko | note: CDEpack (Code, Data, and Environment packaging) is a tool that automatically packages up everything required to execute a Linux command on another computer without any installation or configuration. | 04:00 |

| Shed-34046 | Guys help me :/ | 04:00 |
| Shed-34046 | How do i partition my drive for UEFI when installation of ubuntu? | 04:00 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Also it is easy to launch a file manager to go usr share applications and be able to launch any app. However using the nautilus file manager kills the session. So I install and use thunar. | 04:00 |
| zykotick9 | Bashing-om: wait a second! on debian i get "cde - package everything required to execute a Linux command on another computer" <- i don't think that's Common Desktop Environment! | 04:01 |
| Bashing-om | zykotick9: Humm . .. lemme look again . one tic . | 04:01 |
| lickalott | daftykins, thanks for checking! | 04:01 |
| hellyeah | any help | 04:02 |
| Shed-34046 | anybody? | 04:02 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: Don't know about calibre, sorry. | 04:02 |
| emanuel | ryan_46, funny you say that. I started nautalis before yiur post and it killed my session too. How can I get flux back? | 04:03 |
| Rakko | Shed-34046: did you google it? (I don't know anything about UEFI with Linux, but I'm guessing the info's out there) | 04:03 |
| Shed-34046 | I need some help to partition my drive for my computer's UEFI bios with install of ubuntu.. I mean it would probably be harder for me to break ubuntu like i keep doing with windows xD | 04:03 |
| Shed-34046 | rakko yea but i don't understand it well.. :( | 04:03 |
| Rakko | how do you break windows? | 04:03 |
| ryan_46 | emanuel: You have to log out. Install thunar. | 04:03 |
| Shed-34046 | rakko Messing with the Registry. | 04:03 |
| emanuel | Rakko, with a ball? | 04:04 |
| Rakko | Shed-34046: don't do that. :) | 04:04 |
| Shed-34046 | Rakko is ubuntu a bit harder to break :P | 04:04 |
| Rakko | I'm not sure that's true | 04:04 |
| Bashing-om | zykotick9: Recon it it s by-gone era .. only other I see is " cdebconf - Debian Configuration Management System (C-implementation) " ; Not what is under discussion . | 04:04 |
| Rakko | once you get into compulsively customizing it... things are going to break | 04:04 |

| Rakko | open/libre office? | 04:05 |
| bojan | cfhowlett:It is not removing if i give apt-get autoremove | 04:06 |
| Shed-34046 | Does it matter? As long as it gets the job done | 04:06 |
| Bashing-om | bojan: Release 14.04 + ?? then try terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' . This should remove old kernels also . | 04:06 |

| Rakko | Shed-34046: well I mean you're not going to run (native) MS Office. Probably Office 365 in CHrome would work, though. | 04:06 |

| bojan | sorry 100 MB | 04:08 |
| Rakko | I have that problem too, bojan | 04:08 |
| Rakko | it's annoying even having /boot as a separate partition | 04:08 |
| bojan | Rakko:you want?? | 04:08 |
| Bashing-om | bojan: 12,04 ya got to remove with a sequence similar ' sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic linux-image-3.2.0-30-generic linux-image-3.2.0-29-generic ' for each kernel installed and as well the header files . Some find synaptic easier to use. | 04:09 |
| function9x | what can I use to defrag my external usb hdd? | 04:09 |
| bojan | Rakko:yes there is an option to purge all the versions without current running version...But if there is any problem exists in current version then we dont have any other option apart from formatting and reinstalling | 04:10 |
| Bashing-om | bojan: Better info from : ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' and also make sure of what kernel is booting : 'uname -r' // do not want to take a chance on removing the booting kernel . | 04:13 |
| Rakko | right | 04:13 |
| bojan | Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10967772/ please check this | 04:13 |

| bojan | root@LTSP:/boot# uname -r 3.13.0-49-generic | 04:14 |
| bojan | Bashing-om:got any idea on how to remove that?? | 04:22 |
| [Steven_M] | is there an ubuntu security channel? | 04:23 |
| Bashing-om | bojan: ' sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.13.0-{32,45,46,48}-generic ; sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-{32,45,46,48} ; sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-{32,45,46,48}-generic . should work . | 04:25 |

| emanuel | ryan_46 even changing the WM my system is running slow when the hd is active. I wonder if putting the os on a flash drive would help | 04:30 |

| jo_os_ | can u help me | 05:40 |
| jo_os_ | pls | 05:40 |
| amme | am i forgot? :) | 05:40 |
| DarrenGao | zorbs0ne, what is your command | 05:40 |
| zorbs0ne | DarrenGao: cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.backup.conf | 05:41 |
| nitero | WovenMaggie, just so you know, you will need the 64bit version to utilize the entire 6gb of ram you have on the one machine. | 05:41 |
| amme | anyway its good to see this rush whats heppening here to help peoples:) | 05:41 |
| nitero | WovenMaggie, =) | 05:41 |
| jo_os_ | is ubuntu best distr? | 05:41 |
| jo_os_ | :O | 05:41 |
| DarrenGao | jo_os_: not at all | 05:41 |
| nitero | jo_os_, no not really... | 05:41 |
| jo_os_ | im really sad using new ubuntu version :( | 05:42 |
| nitero | jo_os_, LXLE is my current favorite, before that, mint was. | 05:42 |
| nitero | tbh ubuntu is prob my least favorite linux distro (besides puppy linux) | 05:42 |
| jo_os_ | configure all day my desktop and now reboot and ... my desktop have cero changes | 05:43 |
| DarrenGao | It is my first time to hear LXLE distro,nitero | 05:43 |
| nitero | DarrenGao, it's based on the LXDE, but it comes with a lot of cool software. | 05:43 |
| jo_os_ | DarrenGao: mee to | 05:43 |
| DarrenGao | let me google it right now | 05:43 |
| nitero | i like it because it's the fastest and most stable OS i've tried, not including Arch. | 05:44 |
| nitero | or maybe i should say it's on par with all the other "fastest and stablest" linux distros, but it also comes with a lot of cool software | 05:44 |
| jo_os_ | what about de | 05:44 |
| DarrenGao | so have you ever tried debian, nitero | 05:44 |
| jo_os_ | bian? | 05:44 |
| nitero | it's kind of like Knoppix | 05:44 |
| nitero | DarrenGao, i have tried to install Debian several times. I got it installed once when I was a linux-noob, and I didn't know much about linux, and didn't like how old it looked. But i remember i liked the space wallpapers that changed every hour, that was awesome. SInce then i haven't been able to successfully install it. =\ | 05:45 |
| jo_os_ | what sistem do u recommend me to use | 05:45 |
| amme | DarrenGao: i installed the latest ubunto to my netbook, samsung 535U3C. Everything works fin, but many times, (most of the time if i have to say) it wont boot. after the purple sceer its frozen | 05:45 |
| jo_os_ | i mean distrib | 05:45 |
| amme | in recovery mod its always work but of course slow and shiti resolution | 05:45 |
| nitero | i recommend LXLE, it's pretty great. | 05:46 |
| nitero | doesn't look like it gets much development though, so it might be surpassed by something else | 05:46 |
| nitero | honestly, i think you should try everything and pick what you like best. | 05:46 |
| jo_os_ | what about elementary | 05:46 |
| jo_os_ | OS | 05:46 |
| nitero | i haven't tried it | 05:46 |
| nitero | but with virtualbox trying out distros is easy. | 05:47 |
| Vyom | So I made this startup script, that tries to launch items on boot. But the terminal seems to wait to launch another program, until I close the previous one. How do I make all applications run in background at once? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10968082/ | 05:47 |
| DarrenGao | vbox is pretty good to use | 05:47 |
| jo_os_ | mint is a good alternative? | 05:47 |
| nitero | mint is good for windows migrators i think | 05:47 |
| nitero | but it's not the most stable | 05:48 |
| jo_os_ | debian? | 05:48 |
| nitero | i liked it for a long time, but compared to other distros, it actually has bugs and instability issues | 05:48 |
| nitero | i don't have enough experience with debian to judge. | 05:48 |
| nitero | personally | 05:48 |
| jo_os_ | ubunto is develop this version... | 05:49 |
| DarrenGao | I began to use debian two years ago, which debian 6. | 05:49 |
| jo_os_ | yet | 05:49 |
| DarrenGao | now it is debian 8. | 05:49 |
| jo_os_ | have a lot of problems | 05:49 |
| jo_os_ | i think | 05:49 |
| WovenMaggie | it annoys me there are so many distros and GUI i never know what one to pick | 05:50 |
| DarrenGao | just try these all if you have many time. | 05:50 |
| DarrenGao | and then pick one you like most | 05:50 |
| jo_os_ | jajaja | 05:50 |
| jo_os_ | yes | 05:50 |
| jo_os_ | well recommend me one | 05:50 |
| jo_os_ | and ill pick it up | 05:51 |
| jo_os_ | the best in ur opinion | 05:51 |
| nitero | WovenMaggie, it doesn't really matter what you pick, and in situations where it doesn't matter, just make a quick decision and don't care. | 05:51 |
| amme | when i try to select fglrx driver not the display driver wrapper xserver | 05:51 |
| amme | its alwas jump back | 05:51 |

| azizLIGHT | charlesW: if its linux software, and they talk about ubuntu, they probbaly have ppas | 10:39 |
| charlesW | I know, just seems like a lot to go through | 10:40 |
| azizLIGHT | if not, they probably have deb files you can easily install software with in ubuntu software center | 10:40 |
| jibe211 | torrent is just addressing info to send and recieve data packets in the file | 10:40 |
| azizLIGHT | torrents probably more suited for big programs and big files | 10:40 |
| jibe211 | yes like he said, if you cant use the ubuntu software center, your best hope is windows emulation, if trying to run non linux software | 10:41 |

| autonomoid | Erc1, so when I login to Ubuntu do it enter the passphrase automaticallly to decrypt the home directory? | 15:04 |
| === pureness is now known as noteness | ||
| autonomoid | does^ | 15:05 |
| Guest80965 | where | 15:05 |
| EriC^^ | autonomoid: i think when you login it decrypts the home dir, unless you're using full disk encryption then you'd need the passphrase after it boots | 15:05 |
| EriC^^ | autonomoid: it uses the passphrase to decrypt it though i think, you could boot a live usb and decrypt it manually using the passphrase | 15:06 |
| genka | who is user/sbin/console-kit-daemon -no-daemon | 15:06 |
| autonomoid | The reason I ask is because I just upgraded an old box from 10.04 to 12.04 and it prompted me to enter an encryption passphrase. I haven't found an detailed description of what it's used for. | 15:06 |
| EriC^^ | autonomoid: is only your home dir encrypted or the whole installation? | 15:07 |
| EriC^^ | usually do you enter your passphrase when you boot? | 15:07 |
| SchrodingersScat | alteregoa: it uses duplicity as a backend right? Doesn't look promising from a quick search of duplicity usenet. Could you make a backup to a local directory then upload those using whatever news tool you can automate? | 15:08 |
| autonomoid | I'm no expert but from what I've read its just the home dir. FDE wasn't available in earlier releases. | 15:08 |
| ioria | Guest80965, type in terminal : /usr/bin/light-locker-settings | 15:08 |

| ActionParsnip | autonomoid: then why are you using encryptfs? | 15:09 |
| alteregoa | at the end of any backup it creates a file with the nzb's you can put on dropbox or something | 15:09 |
| autonomoid | All I did was take the existing 10.04 desktop installation and upgrade to 12.04 desktop. There was never any mention of using encryptfs | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | autonomoid: I see. Seems weird it is a factor then... | 15:10 |
| autonomoid | ActionParsnip, THis is why I'm asking. | 15:10 |
| colligence | hello. i have the following problem: on my arch pc i only have to type "systemd shutdown" to shutdown my system without root previleges. how could i do this in ubuntu WITHOUT modifying the suders file? | 15:11 |
| MonkeyDust | colligence arch? this is ubuntu support | 15:11 |
| Guest80965 | i can not understand when i type /usr/bin/light-locker-settings i got bash: /usr/bin/light-locker-settings: No such file or directory | 15:12 |
| ActionParsnip | colligence: set the sticky bit on the shutdown binary. It will run as root no matter who runs it.... Anyone | 15:12 |
| alteregoa | first duplicity encrypts the entire stuff with a passphrase and then rar. should be safe enough, (256bit aes) | 15:12 |
| colligence | MonkeyDust: i know. i said how i did it on arch, and i want to know how it works on ubuntu. | 15:12 |
| colligence | ActionParsnip: ok. thanks | 15:13 |
| ioria | Guest80965, last attempt : locate light-locker-settings | 15:13 |
| SchrodingersScat | alteregoa: are you saying this is a script that already exists? idk why you would need to rar them, but it's your freedom. | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | colligence: https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_setting_suid_sgid_bits | 15:13 |
| alteregoa | because of the redundancy | 15:13 |
| ActionParsnip | colligence: sorry, setuid is what you want. | 15:14 |
| alteregoa | SchrodingersScat, parts of that exists, but the thing is to refine the script so there is no user interaction needed anymore and a GUI | 15:14 |
| colligence | ActionParsnip: thanks. i guess it will work. | 15:14 |
| === le is now known as Guest32034 | ||
| ActionParsnip | colligence: it makes the file always run as the owner | 15:14 |
| colligence | ActionParsnip: but i need root previleges to set it, don't i? | 15:15 |
| genka | sudo gcc -Wall -o console-kit-daemon console-kit-daemon.c sudo: gcc: no comend | 15:15 |
| ankk | i have kinda weird problem. | 15:15 |
| genka | no comand | 15:15 |
| autonomoid | ActionParsnip, I think I found the anser: "On the first boot after setting up an encrypted home directory, you will be prompted to learn the master password for your home directory" | 15:15 |
| ActionParsnip | colligence: yes but after that, it's done | 15:15 |
| colligence | ActionParsnip: ok. thanks, i'll try it. | 15:16 |
| ankk | when i click somewhere on terminal to copy and paste, it selects a random number of lines immediately and while i'm holding to select text, it doesn't track my mouse pointer | 15:16 |
| ankk | what is the problem? | 15:16 |
| autonomoid | ActionParsnip, What is slightly misleading is that the dialogue window saying "Record your encryption passphrase", which to me suggests entering a passphrase not "writing it down" | 15:16 |
| noteness | genka: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 15:16 |
| noteness | Type that | 15:16 |
| SchrodingersScat | alteregoa: I think you want to use duplicity then, since it's cli, and then you can automate a bunch. if you use either keys or a passphrase you can have that automated. | 15:16 |
| alteregoa | here you cn get gigabit or 2gbit isp for less a grand /year so backing up to usenet is not just a choice it is reliable the files are distributed on various places | 15:16 |
| genka | decided))) | 15:16 |
| ActionParsnip | autonomoid: indeed. Not something I use, I can't really comment | 15:17 |
| ioria | ActionParsnip, sorry mate, now i'm with Lubuntu . Do you have a /usr/bin/light-locker-settings ? | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | ioria: I'm on my Samsung S5 sorry | 15:19 |

| martysiamint | hi I have a question - why is my Ubuntu overheating my netbook whiereas other systems like Windows or Linux MInt do not? | 15:52 |
| ActionParsnip | martysiamint: configuration... | 15:52 |
| martysiamint | I use 14.04 Truimfalna Turkawka and 17.1 Rebecca and XP | 15:53 |
| martysiamint | configuration of what? what should I change? | 15:53 |
| OerHeks | martysiamint, that 'Truimfalna Turkawka' is a polish remix, not ubuntu. | 15:53 |
| ActionParsnip | martysiamint: if you have a switching GPU then you will need to set that up. | 15:53 |

| martysiamint | will need to change system | 15:56 |
| martysiamint | brb | 15:56 |
| studio_ | any idea? | 15:57 |
| MonkeyDust | must say, i had the overheating issue too, in 14.04, turned out it was most likely due to HWE | 15:57 |
| OerHeks | studio_, 15.04 = vivid. | 15:58 |
| LadyAlissa | Quick question - When on Ubuntu 15.04, how can I set it up so that the 'super' key takes effect instantly? I'm having to hold it down for about 5 seconds before I can press a number key. | 15:58 |
| studio_ | OerHeks, so it is the same? | 15:58 |
| LadyAlissa | Yes. | 15:58 |
| LadyAlissa | They're the same. | 15:58 |
| OerHeks | LadyAlissa, i can hit superkey and press any nuber immediatly. | 15:58 |

| ActionParsnip | LadyAlissa: what video chip do you use? | 15:59 |
| OerHeks | i don't have to wait for the numbers to show up. | 15:59 |
| LadyAlissa | ActionParsnip: No idea. What would that have to do with anything? | 15:59 |
| studio_ | again, "ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso" and "vivid-desktop-amd64.iso" are the same? | 16:00 |
| martyna | I'm back | 16:00 |
| LadyAlissa | studio_: Yes. | 16:00 |
| studio_ | ok | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | LadyAlissa: the Unity is a shell for Compiz which uses 3D acceleration to exist. Poor video card setup makes the rendering default to the CPU which is significantly slower..... | 16:00 |

| martysia | k1l_, the Xubuntu was not fully translated...I assume that with Lubuntu is the same thing | 16:32 |
| martysia | and I like the Unity desktop | 16:32 |
| martysia | and I have asked on polish forum... | 16:33 |
| martysia | of Ubuntu | 16:33 |
| martysia | and they said that it is a blame of my computer | 16:34 |
| martysia | that my computer is to blame | 16:34 |
| julind | whats the problem? | 16:34 |
| k1l_ | so, what other answer do you want now if you know already what the reason is? martysia | 16:34 |
| k1l_ | julind: so the packages named in that error are installed? | 16:35 |
| martysia | k1l_, I do not believe that it's my computer's fault because other systems do work properly | 16:35 |
| julind | exatcly thats whats driving me crazy k1l_ | 16:35 |
| k1l_ | julind: please run a "sudo apt update &&sudo apt full-upgrade" | 16:35 |

| julind | The following packages have been kept back: libgbm1 | 16:36 |
| martysia | you don't seem to care... | 16:36 |
| julind | whats the problem m8? | 16:37 |
| studio_ | k1l_, ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso is using autologon an got full apps. vivid-desktop-amd64.iso needs passwort to login and got less apps. | 16:37 |
| martysia | julind, my Ubuntu remix is overheating my netbook | 16:37 |

| studio_ | k1l_, i have both versions | 16:41 |
| martysia | so...you're telling me that there is nothing I can do? | 16:41 |
| k1l_ | studio_: so to make it clear a last time now: the desktop-next iso is the one with the prototype of unity8 and MIR. but that is still under heavy development and is not meant for users. its meant for developers. | 16:41 |
| k1l_ | studio_: you dont need to compare it to the regular ubunut, since there is a lot that will change in the next time. so your idea is just "sisyphus" | 16:42 |
| studio_ | k1l_, i understood, it is the same as on the phone. | 16:42 |

| ioria | julind yes, you have to downgrade | 16:45 |
| julind | ioria ok, doing so | 16:46 |
| julind | ioria i hope it doesnt mess my nvidia drivers | 16:46 |
| ioria | julind sure it is | 16:46 |
| julind | ioria u wot m8? that means i need to reinstall them? | 16:47 |

| yellowdog | I've got a mobo that supports 1600/1333 MHz DDR3. So, any DDR3 memory module won't do, but must be of one (or both) of those frequencies? | 16:49 |
| julind | ioria the ppa? or redownload nvidia drivers? | 16:49 |
| === lazaro is now known as habanany | ||
| ioria | julind the ppa | 16:50 |
| OerHeks | yellowdog, maybe that module is dualchannel, better ask in ##hardware | 16:50 |
| newlarkzz | yellowdog: memory must match or they can't run a double speed. | 16:50 |
| julind | ioria will this damn thing fix that dependency problem? | 16:51 |
| ioria | julind according to the post, yes | 16:51 |
| julind | ioria fingers crossed | 16:51 |
| yellowdog | OerHeks I don't have a computer to register with (doing this on a toaster).. since my hardware is broken. Channel is ruled by some Nazi that require registering | 16:51 |
| ioria | julind indeed | 16:51 |
| newlarkzz | yellowdog: not only will they run at the slower speed if not matching. It will defeat the ddr3 setup. | 16:52 |
| yellowdog | newlarkzz: thanks. By "matching", you mean the two modules: must be the same brand and all? | 16:52 |
| julind | ioria ok shits done, now what? | 16:53 |
| ioria | julind any errors ? | 16:54 |
| julind | ioria no errors showed up thankfully | 16:54 |
| julind | ioria says ppa purged successefully | 16:55 |
| ioria | julind sudo apt-get update | 16:55 |
| newlarkzz | yellowdog: You can mix up different sizes, but it's not recommended. For example, a dual channel 2x2gb 1600mhz pair of sticks will be faster than 5gb 1600mhz of 2+2+1 sticks | 16:55 |

| k1l_ | reddog: ##hardware is the better place to discuss that plain hardware issue :) | 18:31 |
| joaojotta | k1l_ but I'm still confused because Xubuntu runs Steam out of the box and with X.Org drivers. Well, all is good at the end. | 18:31 |

| cohnation | how do i reset my root password? | 19:25 |
| k1l | cohnation: ubuntu never had a root account. use sudo with the user password | 19:25 |
| krismatrix | Hi...i have an ubuntu linux os on my laptop. I currently have full access as a super user (apparently) | 19:25 |
| krismatrix | How do i set it up so that I am not using an account that is by default in super user mode? | 19:26 |
| k1l | krismatrix: just create a new user and use that | 19:26 |
| ioria | excelsiora, did you put usb hdd on top of the list ? | 19:26 |
| cyphaw | cohnation: sudo passwd root | 19:26 |
| brainwash | !root | 19:26 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:26 |
| k1l | cyphaw: cohnation dont do that | 19:26 |
| OerHeks | cohnation, there is no root password | 19:27 |
| krismatrix | @k11...is that the only way. That is I need t create a new user account? | 19:27 |
| krismatrix | I can't set my current account to not be super user? | 19:27 |
| OerHeks | krismatrix, you can, but you will need an extra account to do sudo tasks. | 19:28 |
| cyphaw | krismatrix: take a look at /etc/sudoers, but be careful, if you remove your sudo rights without having access to a superuser | 19:28 |
| MonkeyDust | cohnation the guest account is non-root | 19:29 |
| krismatrix | Ah...so you are saying i should have a super user account AND a non-super user account....and as a good practice...always use non-super user account unless I really need to? | 19:29 |
| krismatrix | really need to use super user account | 19:29 |
| OerHeks | krismatrix, that would be ultra safe yes | 19:29 |
| itachi | fuck yeahh :P | 19:29 |
| cohnation | thanks | 19:29 |
| krismatrix | Is that what you guys do? | 19:29 |
| spenmenn | krismatrix, it is not good to use a super user account for security reasons | 19:29 |
| spenmenn | (all the time) | 19:30 |
| OerHeks | krismatrix, if i would use ubuntu proffesionally, yes. | 19:30 |
| krismatrix | what are the benefits or safeties or securities of using a non super user account | 19:30 |
| krismatrix | and what can and cannot be done with a non-super account? | 19:31 |
| cyphaw | krismatrix: on debian and others, you have root and a normal user by default. On ubuntu and others, root has no password, so unusable unless you set one, and the default user has root rights through sudo | 19:31 |
| ioria | krismatrix, when you are super-user not only you can make typo and ruin your system but all door are open | 19:32 |
| cyphaw | I'd advise you not to remove your sudo rights on your default user | 19:32 |
| krismatrix | If by root you mean sudo? Cause when I need to install...I always have to do > sudo apt-get <something> | 19:32 |
| k1l | krismatrix: the standard setup is: you have on user account that can get super user permissions when using the command "sudo". | 19:32 |
| krismatrix | and then asks for password | 19:32 |
| krismatrix | which I enter and it installs | 19:32 |
| brainwash | krismatrix: please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo before asking further questions | 19:32 |
| k1l | krismatrix: so you have a "dumb" user account on everyday and have the admin mode if you use sudo | 19:32 |
| excelsiora | should I select a bootable thing? shimx64.efi, grubx64.efi, MokManager.efi? | 19:33 |
| excelsiora | we had to set up a password to enable this stuff | 19:33 |
| k1l | krismatrix: with only one user without the sudo capability you cant manage your system anymore. | 19:33 |
| krismatrix | oh..ok...i think i am in admin mode all the time. | 19:33 |
| marianne | ok, second issue... friends laptop (HP) bootloader is hosed when he tried to resize a ubuntu partition. now it doesn't boot. Am I far off the mark thinking I can fix it with a ubuntu install disc (won't it recoginize the 2 OSs are installed? | 19:33 |
| k1l | krismatrix: what makes you think that? | 19:33 |
| krismatrix | Because I can use sudo on terminal all the time | 19:34 |
| krismatrix | It just asks for a password...which I give and it does installations. | 19:34 |
| spenmenn | you can keep a rooted virtual machine if you really want to work in the root enviroment | 19:34 |
| k1l | krismatrix: you can use sudo. it safes the password for some minutes (10 minutes iirc) before asking again | 19:34 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest61197 | ||
| OerHeks | krismatrix, terminal had got a timer, so you can do multiple tasks with sudo without entering your password every time | 19:34 |
| krismatrix | oh..did not know about the temporary timer...but cool | 19:35 |
| ioria | marianne i tried to resize from live ? | 19:35 |
| cyphaw | krismatrix: your user is not admin, if you type a command without sudo, it will follow your normal rights. But your user has sudo rights defined in /etc/sudoers, that allows it to perform action as root by using sudo. That's the default behaviour in ubuntu | 19:35 |
| krismatrix | oh.ok | 19:36 |
| krismatrix | So how is that different from admin rights? | 19:36 |
| marianne | ioria: I'm not sure exactly what he did | 19:36 |
| k1l | krismatrix: that is "root rights" when you use sudo | 19:36 |
| ioria | marianne well, i cannot do that | 19:36 |
| === x1_ is now known as jaley2 | ||
| === jaley2 is now known as jakey2 | ||

| filenox | someone using Ubuntu 15.05 on a Macbook? I'm wondering if they improved support for multi touch gestures, can't find a thing about it.. | 19:37 |
| filenox | 15.04 | 19:37 |
| spenmenn | krismatrix,sudo gives you the admin rights | 19:37 |
| krismatrix | ok...but you guys are saying that I should go ahead and create a user account without sudo rights. Correct? | 19:37 |
| k1l | krismatrix: think of it as a gun. sudo loads the gun. without sudo it is unloaded and safe for handling. | 19:37 |
| marianne | ioria: I'm hoping if we put in the install disc, it will at least repair the partitions and fix GRUB... does that even sound doable on a ubuntu/win7 box? | 19:37 |
| k1l | krismatrix: no | 19:38 |
| ioria | marianne in any case if he erased grub, boot in recovery with net support and try boot-repair | 19:38 |
| spenmenn | krismatrix, no, that is for debian | 19:38 |
| k1l | krismatrix: you already have that setup on a standard ubuntu | 19:38 |
| krismatrix | so you are saying i have the correct and sage setup? | 19:38 |
| krismatrix | sage = safe | 19:39 |
| spenmenn | yes | 19:39 |
| krismatrix | ok. that helps | 19:39 |
| k1l | krismatrix: that is the standard ubuntu setup. so if you didnt change that its ok. | 19:39 |
| krismatrix | ok. | 19:39 |
| excelsiora | so I set up shim and don't worry about grub? | 19:39 |
| marianne | ioria: that's the plan... i haven't done much with duel boots and was wondering if i was on the right track | 19:39 |
| krismatrix | A friend suggest that I was using ubuntu in an unsafe method...so I was asking. | 19:39 |
| ioria | marianne i hope it is | 19:40 |
| k1l | krismatrix: the problem that some ubuntu users have is that they start to run everything with sudo. which spoils that safe setup then. | 19:40 |
| spenmenn | krismatrix, if you really want a root eviroment all the time, you should keep a virtual machine with a root account | 19:40 |
| krismatrix | I don't think I need a root environment all the time. I am trying to keep my system secure in a smart way. I do run all installs using sudo...other wise I see no reason to do sudo | 19:41 |
| spenmenn | stay safe | 19:42 |
| k1l | krismatrix: that is fine. you need sudo to install stuff since that is a system-wide task | 19:42 |
| krismatrix | ok. | 19:43 |
| krismatrix | thx | 19:43 |
| MonkeyDust | krismatrix tip: use vagrant/vbox if you need a safe environment, apart from your own working machine http://www.vagrantbox.es/ and http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/index.html | 19:47 |
| krismatrix | ok. | 19:48 |

| Guest93714 | var_log has different files, i'll try to l ook at the recent onces | 20:30 |
| kostkon | Guest93714, yes, your Xorg.0.log, kern.log, dmesg, messages, etc | 20:30 |
| jhutchins | Guest93714: That sounds like what happens when you run GUI programs as root; folders in your $HOME get bad ownership/permission. | 20:32 |
| jhutchins | Guest93714: One thing to try is add a new user and see if the problem happens for them. | 20:32 |
| brainwash | terraformer: do you have to use the canberra-gtk-play command? tried any alternative command/player? | 20:36 |
| Guest93714 | ill try creating a new user, currently my kern.log has so many entries I am not sure if i can find the relevant info | 20:37 |
| dinet | hmm. how do I get a regular user on my system to be able to play sound? | 20:42 |
| MonkeyDust | dinet what do you mean by a regular user? | 20:45 |
| dinet | MonkeyDust: that is not in sudo or anything | 20:47 |
| === Dio is now known as Guest87110 | ||
| dinet | MonkeyDust: I created a user to be used with kodi and on that user I have no sound but on the user created at install I have sound | 20:47 |
| k1l | dinet: is the user in group "audio"? | 20:48 |
| Guest93714 | what would be the ati alternative to "apt-get purge nvidia*/bublebee*"? | 20:48 |
| dinet | k1l: yes. added it and the rebooted | 20:49 |
| k1l | dinet: that group should be deprecated anyway. but better to try | 20:49 |
| dinet | k1l: no luck anyway | 20:50 |

| Basketball | can i save my current set up so that i can install it on other pcs | 21:10 |
| k1l | dinet: what install/setup is that? | 21:10 |
| ricksebak | Basketball: clonezilla would let you clone a hard drive to another hard drive, if that's what you are looking for. | 21:11 |
| dinet | k1l: I did a -server | 21:11 |

| dinet | k1l: I have sound on the user added in the install so sound works | 21:12 |

| netlar | brainwash: I am on 14.04 | 21:54 |

| joshh20 | Yea dont switch to 15.04 yet, buggiest release I've seen in a while | 22:00 |
| Blue1 | octoprissy: this might work: http://pkill-9.com/getting-x-windows-to-work-over-an-ssh-connection/ | 22:00 |
| k1l | joshh20: cant confirm | 22:00 |
| octoprissy | Blue1: this doesn't look like it will work. | 22:01 |
| brainwash | octoprissy: you could actually pastebin some of these errors, otherwise we have to guess why it's not working | 22:01 |
| joshh20 | k1l screen sessions just randomly close for some reason and another guy had his whole system shut off | 22:01 |
| octoprissy | OpenGL works on both client and host. I can use Xforwarding, just not anything that uses 3D rendering. | 22:01 |
| Blue1 | octoprissy: works for me -- I am able to run another programme like firefox in the terminal window and have it appear on the remote desktop | 22:01 |
| k1l | joshh20: see logs what the cause is. | 22:02 |
| Blue1 | octoprissy: 3d over an ssh connection -- I guess the question is why would you need that? that is beyond my knowledge level | 22:02 |

| burhan | ı have a plan | 22:06 |

| octoprissy | brainwash: I think I had that error when it worked. It did work before I upgraded to 15.04 (from 14.04). | 22:07 |
| k1l | burhan: ask in here if its ubuntu support related. #ubuntu-offtopic or ##chat if its not | 22:07 |

| hikenboot | hi. I know there is a pvmove which copys then moves the pointers from one volume to another. is there anything like a pvcopy or pvduplicate function? | 22:19 |
| chrisss123456 | kostkon: yea will do that too. is there a way to do that from the systems' user settings on 14.10? i cant seem to find it... | 22:20 |
| kostkon | !lubuntu | WovenMaggie | 22:20 |
| ubottu | WovenMaggie: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 22:20 |
| kostkon | chrisss123456, hmm no idea, sorry. | 22:22 |
| chrisss123456 | kostkon: no worries :) also, final silly question: i dont seem to be able to upgrade virtualbox from the app. if i install the new version, will it screw with my VM machine? | 22:22 |
| kostkon | chrisss123456, you need to add the virtualbox repo. Instructions are on the download page for linux on virtualbox.org | 22:23 |
| chrisss123456 | kostkon: awesome! thanks a lot! | 22:23 |
| kostkon | chrisss123456, np | 22:23 |

| FreezingCold | any ksplice users here btw?> | 23:44 |
| tzanolo | hello. my ubuntu cannot access anymore a microsoft remote desktop. | 23:44 |
| daftykins | i didn't think that was an Ubuntu thing | 23:44 |
| daftykins | tzanolo: using Remmina? | 23:45 |
| Free99 | xfreerdp or remmina can do it | 23:45 |
| FreezingCold | daftykins: actually, it's one of the only systems that ksplice is offered for free. | 23:45 |
| tzanolo | from others computers I can access, from my ubuntu simply does not work.. | 23:45 |
| daftykins | o rly | 23:45 |
| tzanolo | remmina and the build in remote desktopo | 23:45 |
| daftykins | tzanolo: using what client? | 23:45 |
| tzanolo | remmina is the client | 23:45 |
| daftykins | so what happens | 23:45 |
| tzanolo | i sudo remove remmina, and reinstall, and nothing happens | 23:45 |
| FreezingCold | daftykins: yeah, it looks sick. | 23:46 |
| tzanolo | i run in terminal, remina & | 23:46 |
| daftykins | tzanolo: that is not an issue connecting to an RDP host, that's a package management query... | 23:46 |
| daftykins | your explanation left a LOT to be desired. | 23:46 |
| FreezingCold | I wanted to install it, then I remembered I just bought a OpenVZ instance :p | 23:46 |
| tzanolo | I dont understand | 23:47 |
| daftykins | carry on, what happens when you run it that way? (also what's wrong with the normal way) | 23:47 |
| tzanolo | i will try at terminal, remmina & and paste here the error | 23:48 |
| daftykins | no don't paste here, use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 23:48 |
| Free99 | tzanolo, try "apt-get install xfreerdp -y" then "xfreerdp -u <remote username> <remote server IP/DNS name>" | 23:49 |
| Free99 | xfreerdp is the backend for remmina connecting to windows remote desktop, any error message you see there in terminal will tell you much more | 23:49 |
| Free99 | unless, as daftykins suspects, you're having package manager problems | 23:50 |
| tzanolo | xffreerdpl cannot find package | 23:50 |
| daftykins | well i more threw a dispute at being told step #1 was reinstalling remmina | 23:50 |
| Free99 | "xfreerdp" | 23:50 |
| tzanolo | i have reinstalled remmina and still doesnt works | 23:50 |
| daftykins | !info xfreerdp trusty | 23:51 |
| ubottu | Package xfreerdp does not exist in trusty | 23:51 |
| daftykins | i don't know what ubuntu version you're on mind you | 23:51 |
| FreezingCold | daftykins: why doesn't this work? curl --data 'poster=user1&syntax=text&content=test2' http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 23:51 |
| daftykins | sorry no idea. | 23:52 |

| ubottu | Free99: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:52 |
| Free99 | derf | 23:53 |
| daftykins | Free99: then the package you have must come from a PPA | 23:53 |
| daftykins | either that or the name is different | 23:53 |
| Free99 | ah you're right daftykins, it "freerdp-x11" | 23:54 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 23:54 |
| Free99 | but the command to run once installed is xfreerdp | 23:54 |
| FreezingCold | ubottu: I think you're smart :) | 23:54 |
| ubottu | FreezingCold: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:54 |

I'm running a 14.04 LTS, and I want to create an USB boot disk from 15.04... but the startup disk creator fails to create the bootloader, it just writes, that "Failed to install the bootloader." and I can just quit... what can I do now? it didn't boot, I've checked, and the MD5 is OK... | 23:57 |
| Free99 | tzanolo, aha! There's your problem. I have this issue occascionally myself | 23:57 |
| daftykins | antivirtel: open a terminal, plug the flash drive in, use "sudo dd if=/path/to/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" where sdX = your flash drive | 23:57 |
| Free99 | you need to go into ~/.freerdp/hosts or something like that and get rid of the old key for your machine | 23:57 |
| tzanolo | ill try it now | 23:58 |
