[00:00] shaggycat: dtigue: thx, I will check them [00:00] mojtaba, we have nagios setup to send out email alerts and/or text alerts to certain individuals depending on what goes wrong, sometimes we have it send the alerts to both email and text to EVERYONE at the company [00:00] zabbix monstr, but with more features. Good solution for simple networks [00:01] monit very light solution, [00:01] I've not tried monit yet, but I've heard that it is really good too [00:01] and nagios may be goold middle [00:02] zabbix is considerably better than nagios [00:02] if for no reasons other than not being a 1970s architecture with nothing but config files, having templates and proper inheritance and an actual functional webGUI. [00:02] zabbix for big companyes need powerfull cluster. Nagios on one server can monitoring hundreds hosts. Becouse it, I think, Zabbix is better solution for simple networks. For three host it can run on light VPS [00:03] i've got a two VM setup monitoring a little over 2200 hosts right now [00:03] 12GB ram for percona DB, 4GB for app server. [00:03] and it can monitoring more and more on this 3 hosts [00:03] partitioning, no housekeeping, runs like a raped ape [00:03] Parabola, sweet, I'll have to check out zabbix [00:03] :) [00:03] the zabbix channel is very helpful too [00:04] ok so i have a question! windows and linux cannot decide on which monitor is primary / 1. [00:04] so in windows the left is primary, in linux its the right. so all my steam games start on the wrong (right) screen, how can i change this without unplugging the damn things [00:09] Dnuke not what it use to be?

[00:30] so one cant be in native resolution, great. [00:30] reason 4,382 why linux sucks on desktops [00:31] so, guys, i got openjdk7 from software and then tried to download Minecraft. I couldn't find openjdk7 to open it with. How do i do that? [00:31] hmm daftykins but I have to boot into some Linux Distro first right? ... can't seem to get off the Ubuntu ..... screen [00:31] Tried ElemnteryOS as well and it hung there also [00:31] karen_: there are roughly 1 million guides online with how to run minecraft, typically you download a .jar for it and run that with java [00:31] karen_: google, your classpath isnt set properly, or you didnt install what you actually need, theres a million howtos for minecraft [00:31] best not to speak of elementary in here :) we do not support it [00:32] Parabola: i'm not entirely following you there, re: screen issues [00:32] Well currently it is Ubuntu 12.04.05 32bit [00:32] ok [00:33] daftykins: i have a 144hz monitor, it works great (at the proper refresh) when both screens are set to 1920x1080.. but my secondary display native is 1900x1200 [00:34] oh right, over what interface cable types? [00:34] daftykins: if i set it to the native, the primary (144hz) is laggy as hell, and tears, and feels like 10hz [00:34] daftykins: the dual dvi for the 144hz, regular dvi for the secondary [00:34] i do kind chuckle at people buying those things these days [00:34] its not a cable issue, windows has no issues with it [00:34] that's not what i was suggesting [00:34] daftykins: if you arent trash at FPS's you notice a huge improvement with it [00:34] so chuckle away. [00:35] again you misunderstand and take it seemingly a bit personally 0o [00:35] you made a snide comment about it being silly to buy a 144hz monitor [00:35] it's just interesting as you get older and see what becomes the norm [00:35] how was i supposed to take it :) [00:35] no i did not [00:36] my apologies, its how i interpreted it [00:36] well not assuming the worst tends to be wise [00:36] who said humans are wise [00:36] aaaaaanyway, i've often been asked to look at issues with those such displays and most of the time they didn't even seem to be running at their top-end refresh from Linux desktops [00:37] yep, guy who recommended the particular one i purchased hadn't been [00:37] it wasnt until i mentioned needing the dual link and he goes "dual what?" [00:37] he had used his previous cables and not changed a thing, had the display like 8 months hehe [00:37] mmm single link being limited to 160MHz TMDS and all [00:38] hes a programmer, cant blame him [00:38] they do tend to be amusingly bad at hardware [00:38] alright, so i'm going to chalk this issue up to AMD drivers [00:38] maybe a restart of X, is there a sane way to like, init 3 then 5 in ubuntu [00:38] oh AMD :( [00:38] what with all this upstart malarky [00:38] no there are no runlevels in ubuntu [00:38] daftykins: crossfire at that! [00:38] 2x 270x cards [00:39] ugh [00:39] haha, again with them both at 1900x1080 its fine, x-fire, 144hz, all works great [00:39] i don't know how 15.04 changes things assuming it's that, but before 'sudo service lightdm restart' did it [00:39] minus my secondary panel looking "weird" [00:39] might just be easier to reboot [00:39] i think i'll have a reboot, be right back! [00:39] no fun there [00:39] ha [00:40] i cannot change TTY, i just get blank displays [00:40] so uh, reboot might be what i have to do === nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire [00:40] doing lightdm restart, just for you [00:41] hot damn! it actually worked [00:42] xfire appears to still be enabled, on the proper display, the primary display has been changed, the secondary panel is at native resolution, and the primary has no tearing [00:42] daftykins: this install of mine, dual boot on fakeraid, x-fire, AMD drivers :) [00:42] its a house of cards, next to an oscillating fan [00:42] !ot [00:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[01:11] best to put it into a pastebin and post it somewhere [01:15] est31: http://pastebin.com/WG1n5RR3 [01:16] rajee, you can't run dialog as a cronjob directly [01:17] this is because it cron doesn't provide an actual terminal [01:17] only stdout [01:18] est31, does it mean that dialog needs a terminal to open? [01:19] yes rajee [01:20] rajee, man gnome-terminal [01:21] est31: thanks, but is there a way to open a dialog box on system reboot [01:22] I guess so, what do you want to achieve?

[01:27] RepThis1, try deleting the libreoffice config folder in ~/.config [01:29] kostkon: just the libreoffice folder in /config ? [01:29] RepThis1, yes, not the whole .config folder [01:31] RepThis1, oh it also causes your session to crash. Try, also, going into its settings and disable anything that has to do with hardware acceleration, effects etc. [01:32] kostkon: how do i do that [01:32] RepThis1, and also disable the experimental features if the option is on [01:33] kostkon: idk where those options are located? [01:34] RepThis1, start libreoffice without opening a document and then click on Tools -> Options [01:38] I was looking on the man-pages and I've seen somewhere that there is a github repository of a NEWER version. But I can't think of what the project is called ? Apparently, you can be rescued from not knowing what's going on by adding the guthub pages .. Does anyone know what it's called ? [01:38] RepThis1, did you upgrade or is it a clean install? [01:38] kostkon: looks like when i disabled anti-ali. hardward accl. and enabled force opengl it solved it.

Someone free to help a nOOb? [02:07] To make it short i need to link /desktop/Minetest with /.minetest [02:08] properly, this time! [02:08] symbolic or hard link? [02:08] wait [02:08] YvesLevier, the rule to remember is ln -s target source [02:08] you can't hard link a directory [02:08] so as per pavlos above [02:08] pavlos: do i have to remove earlier link?

[02:37] Hello, I've got an unusual issue: I have some floppy disks formatted using windows 98, and though they still read on my old windows 98 system Ubuntu claims it cannot mount them [02:37] any idea why this might be? [02:38] The driver on Ubuntu to read that file system is supposed to mimic the behavior of the driver for Windows. [02:39] It is not perfect. [02:40] ah, I also tried the same thing on a Windows Vista VM, which claimed it was not formatted [02:40] so I take it there must be some very very strange formatting differences between win98 and newer windows [02:41] jwesleycooper: or the floppies are borked [02:41] no, they read just find in win98 [02:41] jwesleycooper: what FS? [02:41] not sure, just used "format a" in a w98 command line [02:42] jwesleycooper: offtopic here, but here's a hint http://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/s66jt/144_floppy_disks_strange_incompatibility_between/ [02:42] ok, thanks somsip === NeoxAix is now known as xAix [02:45] There may be undocumented differences between how Windows 98 handles file systems and how other versions of Windows handles file systems.

[03:14] logcat7: But using "remove" instead of "autoremove" doesn't uninstall the dependencies gscan2pdf relies on. [03:15] logcat7: I don't know it there's any critical package that depends on it. [03:15] "autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically [03:15] installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no [03:15] more needed.

[04:09] rayj: Although not as lightweight as some alternatives, Unity's compositing effects aren't very intensive. [04:09] k. I hadn't looked at intel GPU in awhile, would something like this work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500367&cm_re=fanless_nvidia-_-14-500-367-_-Product [04:10] my recomendation for future proof graphic cards: R9 270X or GTX 780/790 [04:10] Is that brand trustworthy, guys?

[04:13] drfoobaz: they make decent terminal clients and set-up boxes [04:13] drfoobaz: as long as you don't need floating point, atom is okay [04:14] drfoobaz: thing about Atom is power use, just like ARM [04:14] zerowaitstate: Sure. I just probably couldn't bring myself to use a PC with one. [04:14] that's exactly what a set-top box is [04:14] well, Im going to update to 14.10 to see if that fixes it [04:14] urielsalis: Why not 15? [04:14] drfoobaz, steam [04:15] urielsalis_: Explain. Am I ignorant of something important?

[10:20] irisk: you need to upgrade to 14.10 and then to 15.04 if you want to do the release upgrades [10:20] nah just update-manager [10:21] irisk: and be aware, that you need to upgrade every 6 months until you reach the next LTS 16.04 [10:21] update-manager just give me some theme-stuff [10:22] One question though [10:22] There are a bunch of ubuntu base updates available [10:22] irisk, bleeding edge = bloody. unless you have a specific, crying need, I'd suggest you stick with LTS [10:22] I'm not exactly sure what doesn't work, however lightdm's x-0-greeter.log is populated with what looks like to me error messages regarding upstart: indicator-{secret-agent,bluetooth,application,messages,datetime,session,power,datetime} are respawning and eventually get a TERM.

Keyboard and touchpad work OK. It might be linked to another problem (possibly apci) whereby the system reboots instead of shutting down. USB did work - n [10:34] if anyone could offer any ideas towards solutions that'd be fantastic [10:34] Hi, after upgrading from 14.10 to 15.04 desktop graphics seems a lot slower. Things like minimizing windows or switching desktop and stuff like that. Anyone else have the same problem? Using a thinkpad with intel graphics [10:35] Mattias`: tried updating the drivers? [10:35] Celphish: I switched to the xorg-edgers ppa, didn't seem to matter [10:36] Mattias`: okay. I'm out of ideas, let's hope the next person can help you :) [10:37] I could try obiaf as well I suppose [10:37] Mattias` - not sure I can offer a solution but can't say I've observed the same thing (also on lenovo with intel graphics) - although now that you mention it things are maybe *slightly* slower. How slow are we talking here? [10:38] not a lot slower, but you can see things being cleared from the screen instead of them just being gone instantly. Same thing in some applications, you can see the redraw instead of it being instant [10:39] Mattias`: what intel is it? [10:39] k1l_: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz [10:39] Mattias`: i am fine on a i3 cpu on my thinkpad with 15.04. i am not using the xorg edgers stuff. [10:40] Mattias`: keep an eye on system load and what is causing cpu load [10:40] k1l_: load is fine [10:41] things were fine before the update, it's like direct rendering isn't working properly or something now [10:42] Mattias` now you've described it I think I have the same issue (intel bay trail graphics and a pentium n3540). it's not the worst thing ever but a little irritating. [10:42] R_M_J: I can live with it, but I don't want to! :P [10:44] i hate to nag but any advice on my USB thing? not having working usb basically bricks the laptop [10:48] R_M_J: what's wrong?

[11:28] scorpio74: copy the url here [11:28] ah, thanks anyway. reboot seems to have fixed USB ports but not touchscreen but its hard to know if a) they suffered from the same problem and b) if anything I did has actually fixed anything [11:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989443/ [11:29] scorpio74: so what is the problem? it seems to have run with no output, which isn't very helpful but it has run [11:29] While installing postfix via apt-get, a series of configuration windows appear and there are default values in these windows ..

Did you do that just now? [11:37] no [11:37] all files are there [11:38] output of ''sudo blkid'' would be helpful [11:38] scorpio74: so your initial problem is solved. Whether the driver works is a different matter [11:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989501/ outut of blkid [11:40] so this means that the driver are installled [11:41] (theres a dual boot with windows 8 which is why there are 10 damn partitions - win8 on lenovo default install uses no less than 7 I think, pain in the ass) [11:41] scorpio74: it means the files are copied [11:42] R-M-J: you have 2 swap partitions, /dev/sda9 and /dev/sda10 [11:42] did you install ubuntu twice? [11:42] also they're not marked as swap [11:42] R-M-J: that's np, but you have 2 swap partitions, you can make one 8gb if you want instead of 2 4gb ones [11:42] you only need 4gb though if you have 4gb ram and don't have a special need for it [11:42] R-M-J: or you could delete /dev/sda10 and resize the ext4 partition and add the 4gb to there [11:44] I reinstalled but didn't expect the installer to recreate another swap partition, that's strange [11:46] R-M-J: ok, do you have want to delete it and add it to ubuntu's partition or make it as 1 single 8gb swap? [11:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989529/ [11:46] why i get that message [11:47] lets make an 8gb swap, I don't want to mess around with the ubuntu partition and I'm not short on space [11:47] if you read the message it appears to tell you [11:48] R-M-J: ok, type sudo cgdisk /dev/sda [11:48] R-M-J: also type lsblk make sure sda9 and sda10 aren't mounted [11:49] how will i be able to tell? there's no mountpoint so does that mean they aren't mounted? thanks for this btw [11:49] R-M-J: yeah, if there's nothing under mountpoint then they aren't mounted [11:50] np [11:51] great. so now I want to delete sda9 and sda10, then make a new sda9 out of the free space? or is there a better way? [11:51] Has anyone here used Ubuntu with a laptop and two monitors? [11:51] I'm interested in the setup needed to make that work [11:52] Currently only one monitors works, if I try to add the 2nd it say 'MetaMode 1 of Screen 0 has more than 2 active display devices' [11:52] R-M-J: yeah delete the lower partition first, /dev/sda9 and see if you can maximize sda10 [11:53] Hi [11:55] ok i have a new partition sda9, linux swap at 7.8GB [11:55] so now I need to change /etc/fstab to tell the system which partition to use for swap> [11:56] ?* [11:58] R-M-J: sorry i got dc [11:59] I have a ubuntu 14.04 server with resolvconf pakage installed. I have now modified the "/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original" file. After that I run "service resolvconf reload/restart". After that the "/etc/resolv.conf" has the content I want. [11:59] R-M-J: not yet, type lsblk and make sure it's sda9, then type sudo mkswap /dev/sda9 if it's sda9 [12:00] ah hang on, sda10 still shows on lsblk - do i need to rewrite partition table or somesuch? [12:00] But if I make "nslookup myserver" 127.0.0.1 is asked (seems to be a resolvconf thing). And 127.0.0.1 does not bring me the right answer. Hoch can I restart the resolvconf internal dns server (or clear the cache)? [12:00] R-M-J: sda10 is still 4gb ? [12:00] R-M-J: did you press write in cgdisk ? [12:01] whoops, ok, made the partition again [12:02] k need to reboot to use the new partition table [12:02] back in a tick [12:02] R-M-J: ok, check lsblk again [12:02] ok === thiago_ is now known as Guest83491 [12:04] Eric^^ - hi [12:04] R-M-J_: hi [12:05] R-M-J_: type lsblk [12:05] lsblk now shows partition table as edited (and the laptop still works which after playing with partitions is always nice) [12:05] R-M-J_: ok, type sudo mkswap /dev/sdaX [12:06] "Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 8150012 KiB no label, UUID=8704b8fa-e5d0-4adb-811f-344031ee2248" [12:06] if i want a a shell command to be executed when booting up the machine. where should i do that? [12:06] arcsky: executed as root? [12:06] so that should be all now? thank you so much [12:06] EriC^^: yes [12:07] R-M-J_: hold on [12:07] arcsky: what's the command? [12:08] R-M-J_: does it show up in free -m ? [12:08] R-M-J_: what's cat /etc/fstab look like? [12:09] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/6f5eEs5k [12:09] free -m shows Swap 0 0 [12:10] fstab looks the same as before, shows http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989625/ [12:11] do i need to reboot after mkswap [12:15] !mac [12:15] For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a Mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [12:16] EriC^^ - after reboot free -m and lsblk show the right readout. no error on startup either. thanks again for your time. [12:17] R-M-J: sorry, i got dc [12:18] no worries. one problem with this system fixed anyway - i love my yoga but i'd never have bought it if i knew compatability with linux would be this bad [12:19] Hi there, anyone got the new dell XPS? Having all manner of problems with ubuntu on it [12:19] 14.04 no wifi, just updated the kernel now it boots to purple screen [12:20] I tried 15.04 and it freezes every time I try to do anything on a guest VM [12:20] jiggerypokery, best to use the dell forums for device specific assistance. this isn't the place. [12:21] Thanks cfhowlett please appreciate I am on an endless goose chase with this now. Everyone I think can help redirects me elsewhere [12:21] I've been asking in various channels for nearly 5 days and every solution is leading me to another problem [12:22] R-M-J: ok, kind of odd you didn't have to mkswap and add it to fstab [12:22] eric - did mkswap as you said then rebooted and it now seems to be working [12:22] jiggerypokery, how old is this hardware? [12:22] jiggerypokery, this is ubuntu general support. you are requesting assistance with a specific hardware. Dell offers support for their hardware on their site. Full disclosure: I own the Dell m3800 Developer Edition. [12:22] R-M-J: oh ok, does /etc/fstab mention it by any chance? [12:23] What could cause ubuntu to boot to a purple screen? AtuM 2 months. I've been on the phone to dell all morning 'they don't support ubuntu' despite selling this laptop with ubuntu on it [12:23] R-M-J: i think you should add it to fstab [12:24] jiggerypokery, so you bought preinstalled ubuntu that does not work from the start? [12:24] jiggerypokery, call dell and request the linux support queu. [12:24] yeah good idea [12:25] jiggerypokery, or have you upgraded/updated and now it does not work as it used to? [12:25] hello [12:25] jiggerypokery: purple screen as in the desktop? or consolish? [12:25] jiggerypokery: are you the one who bought the windows version of the Dell, then installed Ubuntu minimal on it? Or do I mis-remember? [12:25] desktop ish [12:25] Could I please be directed by someone? Ubuntu has been been operating very oddly for the past few months. Not responding to settings at all. [12:26] R-M-J: type sudo blkid /dev/sdaX and get the UUID then sudo nano /etc/fstab and add it there [12:26] atlaspaine: more details? What does 'odd' look like? [12:26] correct somsip. It is an identical machine they just install ubuntu for you for 'customer convienence' [12:26] It passed all the hardware diagnostic tests [12:26] I cannot perform updates. [12:26] atlaspaine: which ubuntu version? [12:26] It does not react to screensaver settings. [12:26] 14.04 [12:26] jiggerypokery: I thought I recognised something in what you were saying. But as with the others - I have no real idea and Dell should be helping you [12:26] how to i edit fstab? gksudo doesn't seem to be doing anything... [12:27] R-M-J: gksu gedit /etc/fstab [12:27] atlaspaine: more details...what screensaver settings? What does 'not react' mean? Try and give us a clear understanding so we can help [12:27] Don't buy from dell is the only answer I have from them so far! :D [12:27] atlaspaine: type sudo find ~ ! -user [12:28] Alright. In the control panel and "brightness & lock" menu, there is an option to set the time when your computer goes into stand by after a period of inactivity. [12:29] atlaspaine: is the setting being saved? or it resets? [12:29] I have set it to 1 minute. However, Ubuntu does not lock the screen after several minutes of inactivity. [12:29] the setting is being saved. [12:29] did you try a different user to see if it's the same? [12:29] If the control window is closed and relaunched, the settings a preserved. [12:29] I can't talk to dell any more. They insisted I install windows before progressing further with them [12:30] jiggerypokery, so why don't you? [12:30] Different user? I cannot remember. [12:30] atlaspaine: try creating a different user and see if it does the same [12:30] Eric^^ does that look right? I uncommented the line. what's the last line for & why is it commented? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989712/ [12:30] that's the uuid for the new sda9 [12:30] Understood. I'll be back. [12:31] Because there is no problem with the hardware AtuM [12:31] jiggerypokery, there are some diagnostic tools that run on windows only.. if there's any hardware failure, how could you tell? === TechnoGen_ is now known as TechnoGen [12:31] R-M-J: no, it should be none as the mountpoint and sw as options [12:32] UUID= 8704b8fa-e5d0-4adb-811f-344031ee2248 none swap sw 0 0 [12:32] sorry remove the space between UUID= and 87.... [12:32] R-M-J: ^ [12:33] yeah got it [12:33] should #/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0 be uncommented for a system with encrypted home directory? [12:34] yeah that's from an old installation that had an encrypted swap i think [12:34] R-M-J: no, i mean it should be commented [12:35] misread what you said [12:35] i understand - the current installation does have encrypted home folder, does that change anything? [12:35] no, leave it as it is [12:35] or remove it if you want [12:35] ( the whole line ) [12:36] ok will leave it be, thanks again. [12:36] no problem [12:37] now to try to get this touchscreen working again :( [12:39] I have returned from accessing and testing another account on this system. It took a very long time to log in and I saw only a black screen for a long period. The top and side dock appeared but the background was still black. I couldn't do anything. [12:40] atlaspaine: how'd you create the user? [12:40] The side dock on this other account was massive! It took up too much room on the screen. I think I'm running Unity 3. I may have used Compiz on this account to make the side dock smaller. [12:40] I created it through the system settings. [12:41] ok [12:41] I've used the terminal to create and delete users but not these two. [12:41] try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:41] Ok I can get the machine to boot into 3.16.30 (I think) but not 3.16.37 using 'start with ubuntu extra options' [12:41] atlaspaine: ok [12:41] so something in that update has broken booting [12:43] The other account's workspaces also was working well. Faster than this user. This user has administrative access. [12:44] 3.16.0-37 recovery mode also works [12:44] My updates tray icon tells me that I have unmet dependencies for wine 1.7. How can this be resolved? [12:45] this laptop uses the battery to 0 percent till it dies. Shouldn't it hybernate or fall onto reserve power? [12:45] I can even continue from recovery mode into normal. When I enable network mode I get a seg fault :( [12:46] found the problem. there was a unbound cache running [12:46] jiggerypokery: try booting it with nomodeset [12:46] how to enable ok google in chrome for ubuntu ? [12:46] Hello. Is this the right place to ask about problems with KDE 5.3 being installed under Ubuntu 15.04 or should I ask in #kde? [12:46] atlaspaine: try sudo apt-get -f install [12:47] thanks eric I'll google how to do that [12:48] jiggerypokery: just press e over the kernel in grub, and add nomodeset at the end of the line that says linux /boot/vmlinuz.... quiet splash [12:48] then press ctrl+x [12:49] EricC^^: I'm trying to run a system update so I cannot perform that command. [12:49] Do you think Unity is the problem with the first issue I mentioned? [12:49] I would like to have workspaces. [12:49] atlaspaine: something seems broke if a new user doesn't have a background [12:50] it's pretty odd, i don't know [12:50] What do you suggest I do, EriC^^? [12:51] hmm shutdown error message: lwifi has no association [12:51] atlaspaine: try to update and run dist-upgrade , and if it doesn't fix itself i'd reinstall the unity metapackage [12:51] wow, that seems like a lot of work. I'm taking notes. [12:52] atlaspaine: use apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | awk '/Depends/ {print$2}' | xargs sudo -y install --reinstall [12:53] hi [12:53] atlaspaine: to reinstall unity and some of its dependencies if you need to [12:54] I have some problems with using ubuntu on my new laptop. I can't use the builtin display on it, and since the last reboot xorg server completly crashes and goes to low graphics mode [12:54] What would this do? Would I lose any data and would it fix the absence of workspaces on this account? Workspaces was fine on the other account. [12:54] hi guys this happens to me time to time in ubuntu an frankly its incredibly frustrating. One of reasons I switched to ubuntu( although still have dual boot) is because of its supposed stability http://s23.postimg.org/iii0l41az/Screenshot_from_2015_05_05_14_53_21.png [12:55] atlaspaine: it would reinstall unity and the first list of dependencies it has, anything in your home dir won't be lost [12:55] ( regarding unity's settings and background etc. ) [12:55] my whole home directory? isn't this where all data is held? [12:56] Trudko_ - details about your version of ubuntu and your graphics card? does this happen in other applications or just in your browser? [12:56] atlaspaine: as for workspaces, if it works in the other account then it's a configuration problem, you could try removing some config dirs in your home to see which one is the problem [12:56] R-M-J: 14.04 Radeon 7850 [12:56] atlaspaine: yeah, reinstalling unity won't touch anything in your home dir though [12:57] Configuration directories? What does that mean? I apologize, I've only spent 1 year on Linux. [12:57] the error I seem to get is an error in setting the mode of the monitor [12:57] how do i configure docker to listen to port 2375 on ubuntu pls? 14.04. [12:57] trudko_ what driers are you using? [12:58] R-M-J: how do i exactly find out? [12:58] atlaspaine: like ~/.config ~/.cache ~/.gconf [12:58] or nvm i will google sorry [12:58] Oh dear. That is a lot of configuration lost. [12:58] R-M-J: btw it seems that this is problem for chromium because firefox seems ok [12:58] I'll compare and check before removing anything.

What are iOS and Windows notorious for? [13:01] Infamous maybe. [13:01] R-M-J: http://pastie.org/10155930 [13:02] atlaspaine: could you type sudo find ~ ! -user and see if you get anything? [13:02] could use some help with solving low-graphics mode in ubuntu, anyone? === fernando is now known as Guest82031 [13:02] hello [13:02] paultjuh: type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [13:03] It returns "bash: /home/atlaspaine: Is a directory [13:03] " [13:03] Eric^^: will try to paste it somehow [13:03] @EriC^^ you're amazing at this [13:04] paultjuh: highlight it and press the middle mouse to paste [13:04] Is the trusty-updates repository a superset of trusty-security? Does one need the security repository if they already have updates? [13:05] trudko_ my first move would be to look in the software and updates utility and see if there are any third-party drivers for the graphics card, if so enable them and see if it helps (and if they are enabled, disable them and see what happens) [13:05] Eric^^ I'm in low graphics mode and even the mouse doesn't seem to work (typing this on a different computer) [13:05] but will transfer it by usb [13:06] paultjuh: type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999 [13:07] but if it only happens in chrome it could just be a chrome thing [13:07] atlaspaine: are you sure there's no typo? [13:08] Negative, Sir. [13:08] atlaspaine: should work, what did you type exactly? [13:08] EriC^^: what about it any idea? [13:09] Eric^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989864/ and xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989870/ [13:09] I entered "~ ! and the response was "bash: /home/: Is a directory" [13:09] What category of operations/structures does "if(conditional){statements}" belong to? [13:09] @EriC^^ I entered "~ ! and the response was "bash: /home/: Is a directory [13:09] atlaspaine: oh ok, type sudo find ~ ! -user [13:09] what does that do? [13:10] atlaspaine: it finds all files in your home dir that aren't owned by you [13:10] Amazing. [13:11] @EriC^^ what do you want me to do with the output? [13:12] arcsky: you could add them to /etc/rc.local they'd execute as root, not sure if that's the best place to put them though [13:12] atlaspaine: how many files are there? [13:12] has anyone ever called you a "hacker" while you're using Ubuntu and/or terminal? [13:13] @EriC^^ A lot! [13:13] ok, try sudo chown : ~ [13:13] I've been called a hacker so many times because of Linux. [13:13] Eric^^: also if that helps, the problem only seems to be with the builtin uhd monitor, the rest works [13:14] paultjuh: did you try additional drivers in the dash? [13:14] Was the "sudo chown : ~" for me? [13:14] atlaspaine: yes [13:14] I entered it and the terminal returned nothing. [13:15] is there any easy way to make a wifi ap? [13:15] EriC^^ I entered "sudo chown : ~" with no return from the terminal. [13:15] Eric^^: sorry what do you mean? (also I only have the commandline atm, even low graphics mode doesn't work correctly) [13:15] if anyone has a sec, any idea where i'd even start with trying to work out why this touchscreen doesn't work (screen itself displays but not responsive to touch at all). I assumed a USB issue but other usb ports seem to work and it worked last week. lenovo yoga 2 11, ubuntu 15.04 but issue is also in 14.04 and 14.1 [13:16] atlaspaine: ok, great [13:16] the kubuntu networkmanager gets stuck at "getting adress" [13:16] paultjuh: oh ok [13:16] EriC^^: What does it mean? [13:16] atlaspaine: if you want give the screensaver a shot [13:16] atlaspaine: it means it worked without errors [13:16] Where does it save it? [13:17] atlaspaine: what do you mean? [13:17] what it did? [13:17] EriC^^: Where does it send the screen capture from chown? [13:17] just wanted to say thanks, my ubuntu 14.04 is running great. [13:17] Eric^^ first boot it worked correctly except no image on the builtin monitor, after updating everything to the latest within 14.04 only low graphic mode works, sort of [13:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989864/ and xorg log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10989870/ [13:18] atlaspaine: it changes the ownership of the files [13:18] Yes, I should say thank you as well. You've taught me a lot @EriC^^ [13:18] no problem [13:18] EriC^^: who has ownership now? [13:19] you should [13:19] EriC^^: Google searches show that I cannot resize the side dock, which is massive in Unity. [13:19] you put your username instead of right? [13:20] hmm I can't work out this grub loader thing. [13:20] atlaspaine: i think you can do something in settings > display [13:21] atlaspaine: but everything else scales up too, then you have to play with the second control on the right about the windows and text size [13:21] hello, does anyone know how to set up an 'at' command with a detailed log of what happened? I tried redirecting the output to a file, but sometimes it seems the script doesn't even run [13:21] EriC^^: do you have any idea? [13:22] EriC^^: I cannot. I only want to change the side dock. I used Compiz to make the dock smaller. But compiz is dangerous I've read. perhaps this is limitingthe work spaces from working? [13:22] "just press e over the kernel in grub" what does this mean? Sorry I am a little out of my depth here [13:22] paultjuh: did you try an older kernel? [13:22] hi [13:23] jiggerypokery: in grub over the entry you want to boot press e on the keyboard [13:23] it was running an older kernel before I upgraded, but the monitor still didn't work [13:23] (and as it is the builtin that is really difficult) [13:23] paultjuh: try another graphics driver [13:23] !nvidia | paultjuh [13:23] paultjuh: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [13:23] I can't find "startup applications" anymore?

Did normal search and search in "System Settings". === elopio_ is now known as elopio [13:24] ircnode0: type startup in the dash [13:24] atlaspaine: it could be yeah [13:24] I cannot find "startup" either [13:24] how do I get into grub? Don't you hammer shift at start up? It isn't working :( [13:24] oh, maybe it's different in 15.04 [13:25] try typing gnome-session-properties in the terminal [13:25] ircnode0: ^ [13:25] Eric^^: I tried several drivers so far, no luck, also the crash seems to be on intel (see xorg log) [13:25] trying another driver again [13:25] Hey, which channel will be used for the summit? [13:25] jiggerypokery: yeah keep holding shift when the pc boots [13:28] Is the trusty-updates repository a superset of trusty-security? Does one need the security repository if they already have updates? [13:28] EriC^^: Thanks, found startup this time from dash. - I did multiple search in dash with "startup", and finally it is found ^_^ [13:28] EriC^^: installing the recommened driver caused an infinite loop of crashes [13:29] ircnode0: cool [13:29] In the new ubuntu 15.04, I have an additional driver in the "additional drivers" program that is related to intel-microcode, should I install it or leave it not installed? [13:29] EriC^^: every step I've tried so far from ubuntu help pages made the problem a step worse [13:31] amari - i have the same driver, no idea either but i installed it and it hasn't made any obvious difference [13:32] EriC^^ doing a complete fresh install, but this is worrying seems ubuntu doesn't support the builtin monitor anymore (it did before, but after 6 months dell replaced it with a new laptop because it kept dying but the hardware config is clearly slightly different) [13:33] paultjuh: sorry im back [13:33] R-M-J_: Should I worry about enabling it? [13:34] amari - no idea. as far as i can tell nothing has happened [13:34] EriC^^: is there any change this problem can be solved? quiet worried that ubuntu is not going to work [13:34] doing a ocomplete reinstall now [13:35] paultjuh: xorg log says failed to load nvidia module it doesn't exist [13:36] paultjuh: try to reinstall the nvidia driver [13:36] Eric^^: doing a reinstall of ubuntu [13:36] as it was completly in a infinitive loop [13:36] that's pretty drastic [13:36] boot with nomodeset and reinstall the driver [13:36] also still a bit puzzled which driver I have to install [13:37] hold on [13:37] already reinstalled completly almost [13:38] it was an empty installation anyway [13:39] paultjuh: type sudo ubuntu-drivers devices [13:39] ok, let me do that [13:39] installation has just finished [13:40] ok [13:40] so after the new installation I have the same problem again, except less sever [13:40] (could not set the configuration for CRTC 95) [13:40] so, my computer used to do power management fine, but now it recognizes the battery stat fine but doesn't do the stuff I have set like changing brightness on low power… it's like it just doesn't see the setttings [13:41] any ideas what I can do?

What are my options? === erwin is now known as PHPLearner [13:45] cdidd, if vlc doesn't play, it's pretty much undoable [13:45] paultjuh: yeah, googling [13:45] paultjuh: might be helpful http://askubuntu.com/questions/558497/optimus-nvidia-geforce-gt-750m-opengl-3-and-4 [13:45] the fresh install is not really a fresh install by the looks of it [13:46] I know mplayer downloads all the latest dependencies when you build it from source. [13:46] cdidd, or perhaps I was wrong ... http://vladimir-ivanov.net/vlc-does-not-support-the-audio-or-video-format-hevc-unfortunately-there-is-no-way-for-you-to-fix-this/ [13:46] which makes it very diffifcult to do anything because can't configure wifi on a halfly broken screen [13:46] hm. so i tried to install the numix icon pack, and i selected it in ubuntu tweak tool, but the icons are not being replaced [13:47] i installed using apt [13:47] unless anyone knows how to configure WIFI with the commandline [13:47] paultjuh: nmcli --help [13:50] hey [13:50] paultjuh: try booting with nomodeset and setting stuff up [13:50] EriC^^: thanks wifi is working now [13:50] ok will try that [13:51] this is my first time on an irc server [13:51] it is a bit concerning that even the installer doesn't give a basic image on the builtin monitor though [13:51] the bootloader does the builtin, after that only the external [13:52] waiting for the updates [13:55] ubuntu hates me today [13:55] same haha [13:56] or hates my new laptop, [13:56] I think it's the other way around ;) [13:56] Hey [13:57] How do I create a guest account like it is done in Ubuntu and its dirivatives [13:57] ? [13:57] huh? on what distro? [13:57] AtuM: arch [13:58] i bet the arch guys can tell you how to setup a guest account on arch [13:58] this is dpressing [13:58] rgb-one, it's just an account... isn't it? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [13:58] after a reinstall the terminal doesn't even work anymore [13:58] AtuM: Not quite [13:59] ah [13:59] AtuM: A passwordless login is required as well as the property of not saving data per session [13:59] rgb-one: you could probably check ubuntu's make guest account scripts [14:02] dammit [14:02] anyone have any idea why icons wouldn't swap out when you pick an icon set in unity tweak tool? [14:02] rgb-one: grep -r guest /etc seems like apparmor is used to restrict stuff [14:02] rgb-one, hmm.. i bet some post-login (logout) scripts would take care of "not saving data" part.. passwordless login depends on what desktop you use.. many of them available in arch [14:02] now the installer also cleaned out the windows installation [14:03] rgb-one: this is the script that sets everything up /usr/sbin/guest-account [14:03] jacksonmills: Perhaps the icon set you picked does not have icons for all applications that you use [14:04] EriC^^: Thanks [14:04] ok this is great [14:04] completly fucked now [14:05] anyone nows how to recover windows because ubuntu wiped including all of the recovery partitions? (while I said it shouldn't?) [14:05] ubuntu does what you tell it to [14:05] !testdisk | paultjuh [14:06] testdisk? [14:06] MrElendig: actually it's a bug, he probably pressed reinstall ubuntu in the installer [14:06] I selected: wipe old ubuntu installation, instead in wiped everything [14:06] anyway if it just nuked the partitions then you can recreate them, if you actually overwrote the data then consider it lost [14:06] !info testdisk | paultjuh [14:06] paultjuh: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool.

[14:19] MrElendig: yeah, i tried that, im wondering if something else is overriding the icon pack or preventing it from changing? [14:19] the same thing is happening to Libra [14:19] ( gtk theme ) [14:19] both are not taking effect [14:22] gtk2 vs gtk3?

[14:39] go into lib firmware and type ls la | grep 7260 [14:39] you should see [14:39] iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode, a list of them [14:39] if you have -7 [14:39] remove everything but 7 and put it in a backup folder in your home directory [14:40] if you don't have it, download it [14:40] running tar -czf dir1/ dir2/ etc , which will have no output due to there being no v for verbose. but how can i show output but only errors?

I have a problem where occasionally a user will consume a lot of memory and the system will become unresponsive due to swap. Further logins will not work and I can't even kill the offending process. What do people do to solve this problem? [14:45] dschatzberg: /etc/security/limits.conf === Sarge123^off is now known as Sarge123 [14:47] dschatzberg: Also, user education. [14:47] jpds: and how do I choose the limits? I want users to be able to use all the memory unless there is contention, then the largest consumers should be slowed down [14:47] dschatzberg: Then you're going to have to look at something like cgroups. [14:47] Anyone know why I can boot from recovery mode but not directly? [14:48] jacksonmills: no luck on that wifi still doesn't work :( [14:48] jpds: any links on how people are using cgroups for this issue? [14:52] anyone know what `dmesg` is ? [14:55] The dmesg command is used to write the kernel messages in Linux and other Unix-like operating systems to standard output (which by default is the display screen). [14:56] so, it displays information regarding all current active kernels? [15:01] When I mark an old kernel for removal in synaptic, it wants to remove linux-generic, linux-generic-pae and linux-image-generic. This is bad, right? Like ubunut-desktop they're needed?

[15:11] jpds: thanks a bunch - appreciate it [15:11] k1l_ Oh ok, it just seems like there are a lot of people that are very wary of the project, and I dont really know much about it myself [15:13] joshh20, It just depends, some distros have been on it a while now, other were not early adopters. [15:14] joshh20: yes. but since the desktops like gnome and kde depend on stuff from systemd and small projects get taken over by systemd there is not a real choice anymore since ubuntu cant take the workload alone to make that all work without systemd anymore [15:16] This is a pretty good discussion on the whole matter: http://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-and-others-on-linuxs-systemd/ [15:17] Hi guys, since i've did a fresh install of 15.04, i got random shut downs on my laptop, about every 30 min or so.

[18:11] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Yes [18:11] <_war10ck_> Just a / before home [18:11] i installed devde , xine & gxine , with synaptic. but still won't help much. [18:11] _war10ck_: nope, not working :S [18:11] marianne: DVD drive otherwise seems to be fully operational. [18:12] _war10ck_: I ran source ~/.profile too [18:12] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Okay, let me see - I think there should be another way [18:12] tblake3: what kind of computer is it [18:12] brand/model [18:12] _war10ck_: ok [18:13] playback is getting frozen using gxine [18:13] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Can you echo the PATH variable and show me the value?

[18:15] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Hence the issue, the if statement checks if the directory exists, resulting in not running the lower code it seems [18:16] tblake3: did you disable secure boot? [18:16] _war10ck_: wait... at the top it says: theis file is nto read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or /.bash_login exists. [18:16] klixa: Used the usb to install bodhi linux. Not really liking it and not a fan of Ubuntu. I wanted to try mepis but my usb doesn't ahve enough capacity [18:17] klixa: secure boot disable. still no go [18:17] tblake3: your model isgetting a lot of hits of people having issues booting it from dvd's [18:17] <_war10ck_> afflicto: .profile is always read despite the fact that .bash_profile exists, because adding anything in the .profile will make the code/command available for evrything in [18:18] tblake3: disbaling secure boot and enabling legacy boot are the only options i see to fix it [18:18] <_war10ck_> afflicto: ...cntd - in that session [18:19] It is safe to upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04? There is no problems in 15.04 and I will be able to install every package? [18:19] _war10ck_: ok.. [18:19] ZxoR: You need to update to 14.10 before being able to update to 15.04 [18:19] ZxoR, there is an intermediate step with 14.10 [18:19] <_war10ck_> afflicto: plus, after making the change in the .profile, you need to reload it [18:20] ZxoR: you will have to do 14.10 then 15.04... did this on my laptop and everything is fine [18:20] _war10ck_: I am, I do "source ~/.profile" [18:20] !help gstreamer [18:20] !info gstreamer [18:20] ZxoR: Safe thing .. dual boot . [18:20] Package gstreamer does not exist in vivid [18:20] klixa: I'm seeing the same thing. Unfortunately it seems that no one finds a solution or doesn't report back when they do. [18:20] ibj_, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:20] <_war10ck_> afflicto: I figured you would do that, so the only problem seems to be the /home/bin directory issue, check for the correct dir and then try again [18:21] tblake3: buy a new usb! [18:21] but not a 3.0 those have boot issues too on most machines [18:21] _war10ck_: I made that dir (~/home/bin) so it exists now. [18:21] _war10ck_: still, same thing. [18:21] tblake3, why are you asking for mepis support in #ubuntu [18:21] klixa: that is a possible solution [18:21] <_war10ck_> afflicto: Now try and see if the path gets loaded properly [18:22] _war10ck_: it's not.

After logging in, the screen goes black for a few seconds, every few seconds. I've tried resetting compiz to its defaults and re-installing my graphics drivers. All my TTYs display fine, it's when I startx that the issue appears [18:24] Any help/tips to debug and solve would be appreciated [18:24] ioria, new kernel didn't solved it [18:25] _war10ck_: I think I typed it wrong somehow. [18:25] bazhang, on their web page they said :"The MEPIS community is small , although it is based on Debian, so you can draw on, for example, the Ubuntu community as well)" [18:25] ioria, thats not we say here though, its not supported here [18:26] bazhang, i know, they don't [18:26] <_war10ck_> afflicto: add an export PATH after the PATH=...statement [18:26] bazhang: my issue is not a mepis/ubuntu/{insert any other OS} issue, it's a boot/bios issue.

[18:36] bazhang, thank you very much for your time. === mike_ is now known as Guest1128 [18:36] bazhang: I understand to you to be a supporter of Ubuntu and so I get that you don't want to fix a "Mepis" issue. I had the same issue booting from disc for Ubuntu. This is not a distro issue I am having, I have narrowed it to a BIOS issue. As a result of your hostlity, I am feeling less love for Ubuntu as a whole where previously I had viewed the Ubuntu community as very open and helpful. [18:36] marianne: Completely. I'm not certain that it's the culprit, though, /var/log/Xorg.0.log doesn't have anything about the repeating blank screens [18:37] jarlopez: dconf dump /org/compiz/ run that and see if it shows you still have something active [18:38] marianne: What do you mean 'something active'?

This prompt breaks my automation. How can I just accept the default answer? [18:40] jarlopez: it had something to do with the cube [18:40] marianne: Ah. Well, the command returns config. settings === r0n_ is now known as r0n [18:41] jarlopez: right...

[18:44] Looking for some pointers on an issue having with booting. I seem to have picked up an issue on my boot with nfs network drives after upgrading to 15.04. Its a rather long delay of i say about a minute. I have not been home yet to see if this is still an issue when local to the NFS drives, but guess i need to have them not try and automatically mount during boot. [18:44] jarlopez: no, sorry... only my experience. my Nvidia card NEVER had these types of issues, but the Intel in my laptop is a nightmare [18:45] orion: http://askubuntu.com/questions/146921/how-do-i-apt-get-y-dist-upgrade-without-a-grub-config-prompt [18:45] !info gstreamer [18:45] Package gstreamer does not exist in vivid [18:46] I will grab a picture. its hard to determine if this is something should just adjust in fstab or this is cause by NTP(which looks like has some issue in starting.

So, if anyone can either guide me through the process of generating a pgp key successfully, [18:59] or deleting the ~/.gnupg/ folder, I'd greatly appreciate your help!

[19:26] i hear ya [19:26] zykotick9, cool, thanks a lot for the tip,I just now did it [19:26] Cheesus_Christ: So there have been some kernel patches submitted *very* recently (not even in the upstream kernel yet, so not in 15.04 either) that will allow you to have a setting which is both safe and saves a lot of power. Right now you have two choices, overly safe and power hungry and overly aggressive with power savings (may lead to data loss). [19:26] I'm going to focus on ffmpeg, since opencv uses it [19:26] So, can anyone help me with pgp keys? [19:27] Cheesus_Christ: Of course given those two options, the current default is to be safe but power hungry. [19:27] OerLuptop: No, it shows the Ubuntu GNOME screen and then load standard Ubuntu 14.04 (with the dell logo & all, no install button...). [19:27] I generated a key, in terminal, but, I don't know how to use it.. [19:27] I've never, ever seen something that weird. [19:28] Jordan_U, thanks for the info!

[19:32] I think what I'm worried about is whether or not that file is auto generated (1) or (2) altering the file will break shit [19:32] E: Package 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate [19:32] i'm on ubuntu 14.04 [19:32] me too [19:32] so, no - there is no such package [19:32] !find ffmpeg trusty [19:33] Found: chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-dbg, chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-dbg, cmus-plugin-ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora, ffmpegthumbnailer, ffmpegthumbnailer-dbg, ffmpegthumbs, gmerlin-encoders-ffmpeg, kffmpegthumbnailer, libffmpegthumbnailer-dev (and 7 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ffmpeg&searchon=names&suite=trusty§ion=all [19:33] jeffreylevesque: will avconv not work for you? [19:33] Cheesus_Christ: If you want power savings now, you can build your own kernel with the patches. Note that either way (waiting or building a kernel yourself now) you'll also need to set /sys/class/scsi_host/*/link_power_management to "firmware_defaults" or "medium_power" to actually see any change. [19:33] How can i update XFCE to v4.12 in XUbuntu 14.04 XFCE v4.10 else than manually compilling the tarballs ( i tried and i can't satisfy all dependencies ) if XFCE 4.12 is not available in oficial repos? === andre is now known as Guest68853 [19:33] jeffreylevesque also try winff, a gui for ffmpeg/avconv [19:34] I need to adhere to https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/4bf6bd3d37702ec316ffbddcc3f532a8671d7f56/doc/tutorials/highgui/video-input-psnr-ssim/video_input_psnr_ssim.markdown#how-to-read-a-video-stream-online-camera-or-offline-file [19:34] so, i need to use ffmpeg [19:34] I've seen some distributions based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but featuring the XFCE 4.12 metapackage... [19:34] i may just find a PPA [19:35] Jordan_U, okay. good to know. Building a kernel is more work that I'm willing to do, so I'll just wait :P [19:35] jeffreylevesque no, avconv replaces ffmpeg [19:35] yea, but it's arbitrary choice of ubuntu [19:35] jeffreylevesque yes [19:35] and my main mission is explicit use of ffmpeg [19:36] ...but i don't want to change my Linux distribution [19:36] jeffreylevesque: yeah, not 14.04, but it's in 15.04, again, idk why [19:36] EriC or bazhang maybe? [19:36] ibj_: I can not couch for it .. but see: ppa:ricardo.teixas/xfce4-session . [19:36] i may switch to debian for this project [19:37] jeffreylevesque avconv is a different name for ffmpeg, but it does the same [19:37] has the same syntax === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [19:37] thanks i'll workaround [19:37] jeffreylevesque: fyi, ffmpeg isn't in current debian... [19:37] jeffreylevesque: It wasn't an arbitrary Ubuntu decision, it was an (arguably) arbitrary Debian decision. [19:37] Jordan_U: +1 [19:38] debian uses ffmpeg [19:39] ah, my friend is using debian unstable [19:39] i wonder if debian stable is using ffmpeg [19:39] well, I gotta run anyway. I'll come back another time. [19:39] Peace [19:39] jeffreylevesque: it's NOT. [19:39] jeffreylevesque: Ubuntu simply pulls ffmpeg/avconv (and 99.9% of other packages) from Debian. [19:39] "used', as ffmpeg had some serious issues [19:42] ah i see [19:42] i had forgot he said unstable === ltldpvyweuymbazv is now known as yxetfjqdqotutfxp === yxetfjqdqotutfxp is now known as Dewin|work [19:44] jeffreylevesque, i'm triend something for you [19:45] jeffreylevesque: anyway, thanks for noticing that.

I have it now and is supposed to open with Open JDK and have given it permission, but when I click on the minecraft desk icon, it looks like maybe it's trying to open behind my desktop. Is that possible? [19:53] hi everyone. [19:53] Is there any way to know which files would be removed from disk if a package is purged? [19:53] hi everyone === sdh is now known as steve [19:54] Unode: Use the '-s' argument in the command . -s is "simulate" . [19:54] anyone have installed ubuntu server on server hp dl360? [19:54] allam: How does that solve your actual issue with it? :) [19:55] Bashing-om: I did but I don't get a list of files only a line saying "Purg package [version]" [19:55] Unode: Show us the command you are attempting to do . [19:55] So, it looks like it lights up behind my desktop when I click on the minecraft icon. What do you think is happening? [19:55] apt-get purge -s gitolite [19:55] (for instance) [19:56] have just installed ubuntu server on dl360 g7 and now unable to boot the server [19:56] was going for "aptitude purge ~c" but I want to know what is going to happen before saying yes. [19:56] daninoz: When you do try to change from default bash to zsh using chsh, what happens? [19:56] genii, cannot determine user [19:57] genii, it happens because I'm not using a local user but a network one [19:57] need help!!!! [19:57] daninoz: Are you running it from inside a chroot, or inside of a sudo session perhaps? [19:58] allam what is the issue [19:58] alla try rescatux on distrowatch.com [19:58] Unode: Proper syntax to be ' sudo apt-get --purge -s gitolite " as the normal user . [19:58] daninoz: How are you connected to the machine? ssh or such ? [19:58] slm [19:58] genii, no, I'm on the machine, but the user is not a local user [19:58] i used rescatux today to restore the grub bootloader [19:59] genii, it doesn't appear on /etc/passwd [19:59] Bashing-om: what version are you using? I don't have --purge on apt-get . [19:59] Unode: I expect that the list of files removed from --purge would be the same as the files listed by "dpkg -L packagename". [19:59] but it appears when I run getent passwd [19:59] Jordan_U: well, dpkg -L gives nothing. Possibly because the package is already removed (but not purged) [20:00] daninoz: HOW are you on the machine then? [20:00] Jordan_U: to be precise: Package `gitolite' does not contain any files (!) [20:00] allam, rescatux is easy to write to usb drive using Rufus.exe and easy to use , comes with tutorial. Use Rescatux if you need to restore the GRUB bootloader [20:01] hjh [20:01] jgjgjgjk [20:01] ibj, in ubuntu we use bootrepair.

That is indeed the answer. Tried a bunch of packages in purged state and some do have files. === EriC^ is now known as EriC^^ [20:03] I just installed ubuntu 'along side' windows 7, but it didn't ask me to pick a partition size [20:03] What's going on there? [20:03] daninoz: So this is something like a Samba login to a windows domain controller, or similar? [20:03] Bah, work, afk [20:03] Unode: You're welcome. The difference between removed and purged is system level (i.e. not in your home directory) configuration files. So packages with no system level configuration files won't have anything to purge. [20:03] j_t are you familiar with partitioning? [20:04] MonkeyDust: yes [20:04] j_t: You could have (or still can if you haven't actually installed yet) dragged the divider between Ubuntu and Windows to decide how much space each should use. [20:04] j_t ok, you can change the partition sizes during installation... make sure you don't overwrite windows [20:04] genii, yeah, something like that I guess [20:04] Jordan_U: I was just trying to make sure no config file in /etc was being referenced by gitolite. I've recently upgraded to gitolite3 and still have both installed, the former in removed state. [20:05] hi [20:06] Unode: ' apt-cache policy gitolite ' ? see if there is a conflict of installed versions ? [20:06] MonkeyDust: Thanks! [20:07] MonkeyDust: It chose 54 gigs or so for the partition [20:07] the weird part is, I don't remember it showing me that option anywhere [20:07] it just did it automatically === Guest14870 is now known as ThisShouldNotBe [20:07] That's the part that confuses me. [20:07] j_t: i think it uses the unallocated space on the drive [20:08] not sure if it would resize the partitions using a percentage of the free space and use, did you use windows to shrink the partition before using the installer? [20:09] hi [20:09] j_t i already assumed you selected the free or unallocated space === AR45 is now known as Guest33859 [20:13] daninoz: I think you need one of three options: Create the same-named user locally and use the local zsh or use a command-line login to the same domain controller your other login uses and use the zsh there or make all the shells on the local machine default to zsh no matter the user [20:13] daninoz: Apologies on lag, work is requiring me often this hour [20:14] daninoz: Since it appears you have some kind of login happening, since you can issue commands... what is the result of the command: whoami [20:15] jeffreylevesque, are you still interested in ffmeg on ubuntu 14.04 ?

Note that you should not just trust me that that command is safe (even though it is), you should run "man wipefs" and confirm for yourself that the command will just list all visible filesystems (and in this case, RAID metadata) and their offsets. [21:47] The packaging guide is at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring [21:47] i think it reset it, but not to the way it was on Mate by default [21:47] for example the snapping color is orange like unity not green like mate [21:47] and im missing some features [21:47] clear [21:48] zeeb, you could try reinstalling it. Try that, reinstall compiz [21:48] the setting iw as looking for was called "thumbnail previews" [21:48] so i pretty much have everything how i want now, just need to figure out the alt+tab [21:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992410/ [21:49] zeeb, what's the problem with alt+tab [21:50] i dont have alt+tab currently [21:50] need to figure out where to enable it in compizconfig [21:51] @Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992410/ [21:53] spill_: To remove the RAID metadata run "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200". [21:53] is this safe for my windows partintion? [21:53] spill_: Sorry, "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200 /dev/sda". [21:55] spill_: As long as your Windows partition is really only a normal partition on this disk, rather than part of a RAID array, yes. If it is part of an actual RAID array then that command will make it hard (but not impossible) to mount that array again and recover your data. [21:55] hello, i am binding a key combination to an action. the action it is just something like echo '1' > file.conf, the problem is that file is protected from writing so i have to do it with sudo. is there a way (don't want to change the file permissions) that i can do this without having to enter my password when i press the key? [21:55] roger that, ya its just a SATA in IDE mode, not RAID at the moment. [21:56] spill_: Once you've done that, please pastebin the output of "sudo wipefs /dev/sdb" (this will give us similar information, but about your second internal drive instead of the first one). [21:57] k, I'm on it now. [21:57] hello [21:57] hello guys [21:57] can anyone help i keep losing my wireless connection in ubuntu [21:57] is there anybody here searching for a team member for a small project ? [21:58] is there anything i could try [21:58] dcz, what project?u suggesting one? [21:58] @Jordan_U heres that output http://paste.ubuntu.com/10992469/ [21:58] dcz: just start closing a project's bugs, and eventually they'll have thought you were a team member all along [21:59] i want to improve myself and also to help also projects [22:00] spill_: OK, to remove the metadata from your second drive run "sudo wipefs --offset 0xe8e0dae200 /dev/sdb". [22:00] done, do I need to reboot to try installing? [22:01] spill_: I don't think so. [22:01] Hey guys [22:01] I'll git it a shot then... [22:01] Greetings. I am having issues with updates. I run apt-get update and get GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY [22:02] Whats the best practice for using isc-dhcp-server to host a DHCP lease range on a subnet that is different than the subnet of the server [22:03] trprecht: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127326/how-to-fix-missing-gpg-keys [22:03] xray: If you're interested in helping with a package in Debian (which will indirectly help Ubuntu) you can run "how-can-i-help | less" to see areas you can help with packages that you have installed on your machine. [22:03] @Jordan_U appears to be working!, thanks a ton! [22:03] spill_: You're welcome :) [22:04] hello, i am binding a key combination to an action. the action it is just something like echo '1' > file.conf, the problem is that file is protected from writing so i have to do it with sudo. is there a way (don't want to change the file permissions) that i can do this without having to enter my password when i press the key? [22:04] I feel like I've posted numerous problems today, but now I can't get my mp3 files imported into Rhythmbox. I've installed the "ubuntu-restrcited-extras" package and it's still not working. I'm not sure if this is the right channel to post this, but I thought I'd start here. [22:04] Krazypoloc: thanks. I see it meantion 12.04, will this also work with 14.04.2?i [22:04] huig: what is the actual action [22:06] hello jordan what would you like me to do [22:06] Ben64, echo '0' > file.conf [22:06] huig: no, that is an example, what are you actually trying to do [22:06] do you want me to type that here [22:07] trprecht: You'd want to transpose the release name at a minimum [22:08] echo '0' > /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/leds/smc::kbd_backlight/brightness [22:08] Actually there is no release name so you should be good [22:08] Ben64, i am using i3 and multimedia keys aren't binded, so i have to bind them that way [22:09] hi everyone [22:10] * AR45 wave [22:11] huig: write a bash script to do it, make root the owner, set permission to 4550 or something like that [22:11] I saw a book on 15.04 in barnes and noble a few days ago, was suprised. [22:12] Krazypoloc: thanks seems to be working great now [22:17] I saw a book on 15.04 in barnes and noble a few days ago, was suprised. [22:17] oops [22:21] that's what's great about books [22:21] write a book on anything at all, let it rot on a shelf for years, eventually someone will buy it [22:22] eh much cheaper online [22:23] dunno, you can steal a book in person with less effort than online, if you're already in a book shop [22:23] Hmm, it appears that there's a bug in XFree86 on my Ubuntu 4.10 install... [22:23] joshumax: yeah? [22:23] i want to know on when my charger laptop unplugged.. afaik the log on the syslog.. what log message says when it unplugged [22:23] hmph funny thing is I was reading through one book and found what seemed to be a sensor stuck on one of the pages [22:24] reisio: Yeah... But it's been a while since I've powered the computer on...2006 was the last time I think... [22:24] joshumax, X.Org more likely. XFree86 is a different implementation of the X protocol [22:24] warty .. wily .. [22:24] i don't think i'd risk stealing a book to be honest [22:25] plus karma is an interesting thing you know [22:25] heh [22:26] joshumax: 4.10 or 14.10 ? [22:26] It's catching SIGBUS... [22:26] *4.10* [22:26] odd [22:26] Hm, Warty [22:26] joshh20, boot the live iso :-D === andrexg is now known as andrex [22:27] c'mon GDM, I know you want to work... [22:27] or was warty 2 cd's, install and live? === norm is now known as Guest38319 [22:27] OerLuptop: Did Warty even have a LiveCD? [22:27] Warty was several, had PPC and X86 [22:28] i want to know on when my charger laptop unplugged.. afaik the log on the syslog.. what log message says when it unplugged power adapter [22:28] ? [22:28] plug me back in [22:29] Mmm PowerPC; how I loathe your instruction set [22:29] joshumax: There was a livecd but only for i386. All the others were install CD for 32 and 64 bit, and PPC === CyberSix_ is now known as CyberSix === Bearie is now known as IceBear === Goldman60-znc is now known as Goldman60 === Danny_D|BNC is now known as Danny_D [22:30] Ah, makes sense; I only looked at the PPC ones === brent[cl0ud]_ is now known as brent[cl0ud] === neunon_ is now known as neunon === jonalmeida_ is now known as jonalmeida === KeithIMyers___ is now known as KeithIMyers__ === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [22:31] joshumax: You should probably consider a later PPC ubuntu install === GeertJohan_ is now known as GeertJohan [22:32] genii: Most definitely, but I don't care about this computer; I just booted it up a few minutes ago for the "lulz" === geirha1 is now known as geirha [22:32] joshumax: Ah, OK :) === Fudster_ is now known as Fudster [22:34] Wow, legacy software is neat, except I don't think XFree86 is handling 1920x1280 correctly ;P [22:35] try wayland [22:35] heh [22:35] Wayland might blow up my G1 [22:35] joshumax: it's just 'X' [22:36] xfree86 is dead and buried [22:36] you can call it X.org if you want to be unnecessarily verbose and also not wrong [22:36] But yet it sill lives in Ubuntu 4.10 [22:36] heh [22:38] reisio: IIRC isn't X.org, like XFree86, just different implementation of X? [22:38] s/just/just a/ [22:38] X.org is an implementation of X that is maintained [22:38] xfree86 is dead [22:39] Yeah...but my Ubuntu 4.10 install is running XFree86... [22:39] 4.10 is dead as well, doesn't belong in #ubuntu [22:39] This is #ubuntu-offtopic [22:39] lol [22:39] Rught? [22:39] no [22:39] ? [22:39] WHOOPS [22:39] Sorry about that [22:39] lot of X.org things still have the string 'xfree86'/'xf86' in it, because of laziness [22:39] less reason to change it now than ever, with wayland coming [22:40] I thought Ubuntu was taking the Mir route? [22:41] hello [22:41] Is it possible to install a package build for newer ubuntu distro from lauchpad. For exemple let's say that I what to install the following VLC build on 14.04: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/2.2.0-1/+build/7305772 [22:41] How should I do that? [22:41] laserbeak4445: Yes but it's *not* recommended [22:42] i have to turn my swapon every reboot can anyone help me how to leave it aways on please? [22:42] It can wind up doing horrible things like breaking libc or some such badness [22:43] even if I purge completely my current vlc installation? [22:43] danielbrazilian: What's in your fstab? [22:43] So Suspending doesn't require Swap, but Hibernate does? [22:43] can someone tell me the difference between `make -j $(nproc)`, and `make`? [22:43] laserbeak4445: Depends on, well, the dependencies, and how old your Ubuntu install is. [22:44] joshumax, fstab? [22:44] jeffreylevesque: parallel make vs regular make [22:44] laserbeak4445: you might be better off just building it from source [22:44] danielbrazilian: You filesystem table, /etc/fstab? [22:44] zeeb, true [22:45] So I don't have a swap, but if I want to save a bit of money on power, suspend will still save a good bit of power yes? [22:45] why is it that i can install kernel updates with synaptic but not on the cli with apt-get? (packages held back) [22:45] Obviously not as much but it will be more cost effective than just not sleeping I think, yea? [22:45] OK thanks [22:45] ki7rw: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (NOT do-release-upgrade) vs. sudo apt-get upgrade [22:46] ok [22:46] i'll try that next time [22:46] joshumax, here it is [22:46] http://pastebin.com/pCndG2iC [22:46] danielbrazilian: Ah thanks [22:47] danielbrazilian: Is that all of it? [22:47] oops [22:47] swap is off [22:47] i will turn on and send again [22:47] how is parallel make beneficial? [22:47] when would that be useful? [22:48] No [22:48] Wait [22:48] danielbrazilian: Just follow this guide --> http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/setting_up_swap.html [22:48] You need to put this in your fstab [22:48] jeffreylevesque: It is beneficial whenever your computer has more than one physical core. [22:48] thanks [22:48] danielbrazilian: This Askubuntu answer is also helpful --> http://askubuntu.com/a/199372/68227 [22:49] in this tutorial - http://rodrigoberriel.com/2014/10/installing-opencv-3-0-0-on-ubuntu-14-04/ they implemented `make -j` [22:49] thank you i will try now [22:49] is there an easy to use vpn client/server package? i'd like something that is essentially plug n play without having to spend a lot of time setting up a cert authority etc etc [22:49] but, could they have accomplished the same with a simple `make`, instead of `make -j $(nproc)`? [22:50] jeffreylevesque: Yes [22:50] i want to know the culprit that unplugged power adapter on my office.. yes i know it is on the syslog but what is the sign if poweer adapter unplugged on syslog? [22:50] But it will probably be slower [22:50] (er, the compilation time, that is) [22:50] Maybe one last question guys: Someone was talking to me about using backport to get newer package that what is available on the official repos. I don't know if he was talking about Debian or Ubuntu. Is there a difference about backporting application on Debian and Ubuntu? [22:50] VyprVPN? [22:50] hello everyone. I'm strugling to get vnc4server on this ubuntu 12 machine to work properly. I get a grey screen and a couple of errors in my log file. Can someone please ssist me as to what I'm doing wrong? [22:53] Rufus, pastebin the errors [22:53] Rufus, and give specific versions of the os and vnc4server [22:55] pbx http://pastebin.com/tzYpaZNB running Ubuntu 12.04 and Xvnc Free Edition 4.1.1 [23:01] Is the lastest Ubuntu any better at handling retina displays? The LTS is lousy. [23:02] pbx any thoughts please? [23:06] Rufus, i'm not X knowledgeable, just wanted you to give info so that those who are can help faster [23:06] pbx roger that, thanks [23:09] hi, another question getting ubuntu working on my laptop [23:09] paultjuh, just state your question [23:09] I have a broadcom wireless, and no other network device, trying to install bcwm-kernel-source [23:09] downloaded the files [23:10] but an error occurs during making [23:10] apparently it is a kernel version mismatch [23:10] making? [23:10] AR45: if I do apt-get install it does a make step [23:10] and that fails === AMERICA__ is now known as AMERICAN_PSYCHO === AMERICAN_PSYCHO is now known as AMERICA__ [23:12] http://askubuntu.com/questions/519308/bcm4352-offical-dell-driver-installation-problem basicly that problem, but i can't do a apt-get update without the wireless working [23:12] Are you using ubuntu? [23:13] currently I'm in windows === chris0626891 is now known as chris062689 [23:13] but I have ubuntu installed [23:13] just missing the network atm [23:13] Would you be able to plug a ethernet cable in? [23:13] How is it your doing apt-get install without an internet connection? [23:13] unfortunatly not [23:14] hi guys.. i cant remember but maybe you will know what im talking about, I want to generate a line of text from symbols. There was a program on the terminal for that but i forgot how it is called :| [23:14] I downloaded the packages from packages.ubuntu.com [23:14] What is the name of your wirless device? [23:14] tocka, text from symbols? that's a bit vague [23:14] uhm.. i dont know how to describe [23:14] bcmwl-kernel-source [23:14] wait one second [23:15] kostkon i want to generate this kind of text :) [23:15] http://www.pastebin.ca/2996989 [23:15] So you either have a Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4321-, or BCM4322-based hardware [23:16] tocka, ascii art right. give me a sec [23:16] yeah thahts what it is! [23:16] i completely forgot how it is called :/ [23:16] Hey, so I'm on ubuntu desktop trying to get onto the file system of a mounted ubuntu server drive and get a file, can you help [23:16] jakesyl1: how is it connected? [23:16] physically? [23:16] !info figlet | tocka, this? [23:16] tocka, this?: figlet (source: figlet): Make large character ASCII banners out of ordinary text. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.5-2 (vivid), package size 173 kB, installed size 721 kB [23:16] AR45: indeed [23:17] jakesyl1: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit [23:17] figlet! [23:17] yay [23:17] :D [23:17] tocka, ;) [23:17] thank you! [23:17] :) [23:17] jakesyl1: no surprises there Sherlock, but i meant the connection TYPE [23:17] tocka, np [23:18] paultjuh: Is there any known issues that made you go for a source code variant of your driver? [23:18] paultjuh: There are precompiled ones in the repository. [23:18] Hi all having a bit of problem here. On 15.04 and can't login. Just keeps dumping me back to the login screen. Any ideas? [23:18] daftykins actually think i got it one sec [23:18] Shell on vt1 is fine tho. [23:19] AR45: sorry switched to my other laptop [23:19] paultjuh: Do you have another computer so we can start diagnosing the problem in real time? [23:19] yes just switched [23:19] paultjuh: Do you have another computer so we can start diagnosing the problem in real time? [23:19] danielle331: That's probably X failing for some reason. Try changing to one of the fallback session options and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log . [23:20] AR45: Iḿ paultjuh but on my other computer [23:20] paultjuh_: Boot your ubuntu machine [23:20] AR45: done that [23:21] paultjuh_: In fact I know how we can solve this quite easily. [23:21] AR45: I have a BCM4352 [23:21] paultjuh_: How did you install Ubuntu? [23:21] according to lspci [23:21] paultjuh_: Do you have a live USB? [23:21] danielle331: Lost authorization to access /home ? Do you own ' ls -al .Xauthority ; ls -al .ICEauthority ' ? [23:22] witAR45: with the live/installer usb [23:22] AR45: yes [23:22] I want you to boot that live usb [23:22] AR45: that also doesn have the wifi [23:22] Really? [23:22] Jordan_u: failsafe session is same problem. Last thing I did was kill the GPG agent and edit it's conf. Haven't done anything to change graphics or x settings since last week. Something weird in dmesg… [23:22] …. Do you know a programme to pipe from shell directly to pastebin? [23:23] paultjuh_: Are you certain? [23:23] !pastebinit [23:23] AR45: yes as it is a propietary driver [23:23] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:24] paultjuh_: That doesn't matter, we have open source drivers for this device. [23:24] paultjuh_: Well apparently. [23:25] AR45: the previous time I did the manual installation I did it manually too with copying the drivers and install that way, but that didn handle the builtin monitor for some reason, so I downloaded a slightly newer version of ubuntu, and with that downloading doesn seem to work [23:25] paultjuh_: What version of Ubuntu are you running currently? [23:26] AR45: 14.04 or more precise 14.04.02 [23:27] Bashing-om: Hm. I own everything in ~ except:. Ssh,. Mobile, and. GnuPG. Chowned all but same problem.. Xauthority definitely mine. Sorry for the bad typing, the Android soft keyboard sucks for this.. [23:27] paultjuh_: I want you to download this on your machine with internet access [23:27] AR45: mmh maybe I downloaded the wrong package maybe it should be linux-firmware-nonfree_1.14ubuntu1_all.deb [23:27] paultjuh_: http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 [23:28] goog evening [23:29] i would use apt-on-cd [23:29] !offline [23:29] If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD [23:29] AR45: ok downloaded that [23:29] can anyone give me a litle help [23:29] Dmesg output : pastebin.com/10993001 x. Org.log: pastebin.com/10993003 [23:29] paultjuh_: Put it on your ubuntu machine and tell me when you are ready [23:30] Is the dmesg anything to worry about? [23:30] danielle331: Sorry, but messing about with " GPG agent and edit it's conf " is above my skill level . I do defer to Jordan_U . [23:30] AR45: ok ready [23:31] Totally. I fail to see why that would interfere with x tho! [23:31] Actually paultjuh_ I want you to run this on your ubuntu machine in the terminal: lspci -nn -d 14e4: [23:31] AR45: also extracted [23:31] very good its smuxi [23:31] hello gas [23:31] gays [23:32] danielle331: I can't access either of those pastes, they both say "This paste has been removed". [23:32] AR45: that lists the BCM4352 [23:32] danielle331: Ahh, you meant http://paste.ubuntu.com/ rather than pastebin.com [23:33] Jordan_u : can you try pastes 10993046 and 10993048? [23:33] danielle331: Can you login to a guest session successfully? [23:34] Ah okay. I was just piping to pastebinit. Totally right thanks for catching that for me Jordan_u [23:34] such as sending a private message? [23:34] I think the guest session is disabled Jordan_u [23:35] AR45: are you still there? [23:35] paultjuh_: Yes getting something together for you ;) [23:36] danielle331: Why do you think that? [23:36] AR45: thanks! [23:36] yes [23:36] Umm cause I'm an idiot if I can't figure out how to login as Fiat? ;-) [23:36] paultjuh_: Do you have your USB connected? [23:36] Err, guest, even.. [23:37] paultjuh_: With your Ubuntu installation files? [23:37] AR54: itś currently in the ubuntu without internet [23:37] danielle331: please... [23:37] AR45: yes [23:37] AR45: it contains the live + some of the debs according some of the information I found looking for this problem [23:38] paultjuh_: It should have a pool directory [23:38] paultjuh_: open it [23:38] alguém, ? [23:38] danielle331: You can also create a new test user with "sudo adduser test", then try to login as test. [23:38] some one? [23:38] AR45: yes done [23:38] I'll do that Jordan_u [23:39] a quick one guys.. should i disable root login and create a seperate user for my self on a vps? :o [23:39] paultjuh_: restricted/b/bcmwl [23:39] tocka: hrmm? [23:39] or should i use root login.. i am bit of a noob so yeah:) [23:39] tocka: the ubuntu way is to not use root directly [23:39] but it doesn't actually matter [23:39] k:) [23:39] hmm [23:39] Tocka: yes, disable root logins especially on a server [23:39] do what you like [23:40] danielle331 k :) [23:40] AR45: ok that is there\ [23:40] AR45: dpkg --install I guess? [23:40] What's inside that folder? [23:40] No [23:40] AR45: a deb file [23:40] called [23:40] ? [23:40] Hmm my test account loads fine Jordan_u [23:41] AR45: bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [23:41] Cool in terminal [23:41] I need you to do this [23:41] sudo nano /etc/apt/sourcelist [23:41] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [23:42] AR45: yes [23:42] remove the # infront of deb cdrom [23:42] jordan_u: thanks, for some reason I had the weird idea that a shell user couldnt do a graphical login. such a relief to be back on a proper keyboard even if its not my normal account. now to troublesheet this issue properly... [23:43] danielle441: You're welcome. [23:43] paultjuh_: it should be the first line [23:43] AR45: the one with restricted? [23:43] AR45: there are 5 cdrom ones [23:44] For instance mine says # deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 15.04 _Vivid Vervet_ - Release amd64 (20150422)]/ vivid main restricted [23:44] AR45: ok dit remove the # [23:45] From all of them? [23:45] AR45: apt-get update ignores those though [23:47] AR45: so yes all of them [23:47] Cool do a uname -r and then a dpkg --get-selections | grep headers [23:48] Make sure you have the linux-headers package that matches your current kernel version, plus the appropriate generic header packages [23:49] AR45: 3.16.0-30-generic [23:50] AR45: linux-headers-3.16.0-30 [23:50] AR45: linux-headers-3.16.030-generic [23:50] AR45: linux-headers-generic--lts-utopic [23:50] AR45: that seems ok I think? [23:51] Yes [23:51] paultjuh_: Okay one last step before we perform the install [23:51] In your app launcher open software & updates [23:51] Right, so this is what I did: I removed an old, invalid .gnupg/gpg-agent.conf (from an old, none-linux computer), symlinked ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent- to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, and added the line "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk". and then I killed the agent. why would that log me out [23:51] and stop me from logging back in again? [23:51] AR45: done that [23:52] paultjuh_: Do you see installable from CD-ROM [23:52] AR45: yes [23:52] paultjuh_: tick it [23:52] hey again everyone [23:53] all with a checkbox in other software [23:53] those are the ones wihich I uncommented in nano [23:53] I just want you to check installable from CD ROM/DVD [23:53] I cant seem to setup my SSD drive to install grub for some reason [23:53] paultjuh_: The rest I don't care about leave them as is [23:54] keep getting fatal error [23:54] AR45: they were already checked [23:55] I am installing from USB that I setup using unetbootin [23:55] paultjuh_: Okay good do an apt-get update [23:55] paultjuh_: Then an bcmwl-kernel-source [23:55] paultjuh_: Then an apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [23:56] AR45: the apt-get update ignores all the cdrom ones [23:56] That's okay. [23:57] AR45: ok it asks for the drive [23:57] so I have to mount it in the asked directory I guess [23:57] what method should I use to partition my drive? [23:57] What do you mean it asks for the drive? [23:58] AR45: Media change: pleaser insert the disc labelled... [23:58] paultjuh_: [23:58] Okay whatever that's too boring === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [23:59] paultjuh_: Whatever your usb drive is called [23:59] paultjuh_: cd into this directory on it [23:59] pool/main/d/dkms [23:59] AR45: I mounted it in the asked location (/media/cdrom) [23:59] but it keeps asking [23:59] ok [23:59] then sudo dpkg -i dkms*
