[00:00] Well damn I need to spend even more money on this computer :[ [00:00] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/GAW8a9Ew [00:00] AR45: paypal them to me and u wont :D [00:01] grend: yep that disk has one bad sector pending and many errors, do you have your data backed up? [00:01] yes [00:02] hello? [00:02] grend: so personally i would 'dd' zero fill the disk to force it to remap any and all bad sectors it finds, but most likely due to the errors reported you need to replace it anyway [00:02] Coolmannorm: do you have a support question? [00:03] dd zero fill how? [00:03] being 100% sure you have any data you need, because this will kill *everything*... [00:03] sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2M [00:03] why can i not connect a bluetooth speaker using ubuntu mate on my rbpi [00:04] it goes to connect but then disconnects [00:04] daftykins: is my issue with my motherboard or my card? [00:04] AR45: you don't have a card, the graphics is on the CPU [00:04] that's what I mean [00:05] Does this error: http://i.imgur.com/HsVYFq5.png when trying to load a ubuntu desktop CD for installation mean the CD is corrupt? [00:05] I have a 30 day warranty I could just switch the cards parts out. [00:05] i can't 100% see what that model CPU is meant to do, but it could be a CPU limitation [00:05] i looked at a Z97 and it has the same limitation [00:05] daftykins: kill means delete data? [00:05] no you don't follow, the entire CPU would have to come out :P [00:05] grend: yes the above command wipes the entire drive [00:05] thats not very useful :D [00:06] its like reinstalling ubuntu [00:06] grend: what? you do understand that disk is trash right? [00:06] it's dead, not coming back [00:06] daftykins: its alive [00:06] i can access it [00:06] no it is faulty [00:06] merely 1 bad sector [00:06] and it will only get worse. [00:06] no you're not looking at the proper information there [00:07] one sector awaiting remapping is only part of the issue [00:07] look at line 54 [00:07] well what are others? [00:08] pre fail [00:08] :D [00:08] also, it's a 100GB Hitachi? [00:08] that wouldn't even store my music [00:10] http://pastebin.com/9TSMpCxZ [00:10] :) [00:10] yes I plan to get new HD [00:10] Does this error: http://i.imgur.com/HsVYFq5.png when trying to load a ubuntu desktop CD for installation mean the CD is corrupt? [00:10] seems like it [00:11] cuddylier: aren't you pointing to an ISO? [00:11] why not just MD5 it [00:11] I burnt the ISO to the CD [00:11] How do I do that if it's an ISO on a CD? [00:12] I got the ISO from the ubuntu site just [00:12] daftykins: out of interest how i can tell ubuntu to remap bad sector? [00:12] without re installing it [00:12] grend: you don't. and it doesn't even matter if you do, that disk is fudged. [00:13] well how to do it? :D [00:13] hehe [00:13] you don't [00:13] it is a disk firmware action [00:13] what do u mean? [00:13] out of the reach of the OS. [00:13] some people say use sudo badblocks -svvn -c 262144 /dev/sda [00:14] hmmm [00:14] total waste of time [00:14] you'll just likely corrupt the drives partitions further === CaptonjamasonMod is now known as Captonjamason [00:14] silly firmware :D [00:14] nothing to do with it, your disk is dead. [00:14] its alove [00:14] no it is not. [00:14] 99% works :D [00:15] cuddylier: "I burnt the ISO to the CD " Most of the 'buntu .iso files will not fit on a "CD"; require a DVD . [00:15] blah only 1 sector is bad so far and ok slow access time [00:15] Bashing-om: DVD then yeah, Datacentre did it for me [00:16] cuddylier: check the DVD's integrity; easy way is boot to the boot menu and "check disk for defects" option . [00:16] grend: i've over 20 years experience with hardware, i've seen hundreds of disk failures. you're not the first to HOPE for a better outcome, but i'm telling you you're living on borrowed time :) have a backup of your data, buy a new disk - and throw this thing in the trash :) [00:16] Bashing-om: Boot menu of the CD? [00:16] to try and use it is simply foolish [00:16] daftykins: atm there is no new disk [00:16] :D [00:17] as simple as that [00:17] grend: having one sector pending reallocation simply means only one has been found so far, there will likely be more [00:17] your machine will lock up the next time it encounters one most likely [00:17] I have read some forums, people use such drives for years [00:17] so in the past ive had my fare share problems with GRUB but this is insane, if you helped me in the past you know what my problem is, if you dont know then when i boot it throws me into the grub command line, i have A: reinstalled grub, Did not work B: Reinstalled it another time, did not help and C: Compleatly got rid of grub and replaced it with LILO and it still puts me into the GRUB command line, why is this happening [00:18] grend, i agree with daftykins that disk will die the more you fool with it the more data you will loose [00:18] cuddylier: Boot the liveDVD, and as soon as the bios screen clears, depress the right shift key -> language screen, press the escape key to accept the default -> boot menu . [00:18] grend: only after a full wipe to ensure there really was only one bad sector [00:18] Bashing-om: Is the bios screen before the purple screen with the dots? [00:19] cuddylier: Yes, bios boots then hands off to the operating system boot code then the kernel loads . [00:21] hello [00:21] lo [00:21] hey === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [00:23] Bashing-om: I pressed alt F1 to see the console, how do I get back to GUI? [00:23] :) [00:23] cuddylier: F7 [00:24] daftykins: Thanks, console part showed the same errors but GUI says it's checking the disk so I'll leave it [00:24] are you 100% forced to use real optical media? [00:24] surely KVM can be fed ISOs [00:25] cuddylier: press ctl+alt+F7 to return to the GUI . [00:26] no need for control at that point ^_^ [00:27] so in the past ive had my fare share problems with GRUB but this is insane, if you helped me in the past you know what my problem is, if you dont know then when i boot it throws me into the grub command line, i have A: reinstalled grub, Did not work B: Reinstalled it another time, did not help and C: Compleatly got rid of grub and replaced it with LILO and it still puts me into the GRUB command line, why is this happening [00:27] and please help me, im tired of fighting with this problem, [00:27] daftykins: imo firmware simply wants people to buy new disks [00:27] :D [00:27] If I have an Ubuntu virtualization, is it possible to run things from my main OS on my Ubuntu virtualization? [00:27] grend: no [00:27] daftykins: well hmm disk could last at least 400 years [00:28] no that's complete rubbish :) [00:28] I love to keep same stuff for ages :D [00:28] which modern disks can last very long time? [00:28] they all suffer from failure. [00:28] or all *can* at least [00:29] i run many systems with disks that have been spinning for over 6 years solid, 24x7... [00:29] Is there anywhere to get a copy of Ubuntu as an OVF for quick deployment of new VM's? [00:30] daftykins: also how to access such disk? backup I had is ok however not the most recent :D [00:30] ive had a two week old laptop with a failing HD and then i have had disks that are 10 years old that still work [00:30] yes 10 years and more is nice [00:30] grend: no idea, you use LVM. i have no experience with that [00:30] they just go when they want lol [00:30] that they do! [00:30] MisterMom: do u know how to use LVM? [00:31] grend, sorry no [00:31] Bashing-om: It says http://i.spartanhost.net/qoII8Oxi.png [00:32] I'm assuming that means the CD is dead [00:32] either work out how to use ISOs or reburn the CD with verification at a slower speed [00:32] Captonjamason: If it were me with a history of grub issues; I would do a full CHange Root, purge grub and do a fresh install of grub . [00:32] ive done that [00:33] cuddylier: You are back to square 1, md5sum the .iso file and reburn to DVD . [00:33] Mhm yeah, I'll do that, thanks [00:35] daftykins: which file system ubuntu usually use? [00:35] ext4 [00:35] Captonjamason: As you have done all the reinstallation of grub from scratch, and stiill with problems - I would suspect a bad hard drive . -> smartctl ? [00:35] EXT4 [00:35] ran it, i dont know what is wrong [00:36] dafty so something like mount -t ext4-3g /dev/dw-0 /media/disk -o force ? [00:36] there is no such thing as ext4-3g [00:36] it wont mount via disks as it was not shut clean last time [00:36] /dev/dw-0 sounds wrong [00:36] why are you asking me about something i already stated i don't have experience with? :) [00:36] becouse u know something [00:37] ¬_¬ [00:37] Captonjamason: Then is the final solution, as daftykins points out .. time to zero out the drive and start all over fresh with all . === tuxd00d_ is now known as tuxd00d [00:37] Captonjamason: what's the problem? [00:37] Captonjamason: sudo apt-get install smartmontools pastebinit && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit [00:40] http://pastebin.com/nkF5gPgS [00:40] :) === josh is now known as Guest54652 [00:41] * daftykins plays the organ for grend's disks funeral [00:41] its very solid disk [00:42] I can sell it to you for u server :D === tuxd00d_ is now known as tuxd00d [00:42] i get really annoyed by people who continue to say the opposite of fact. [00:42] daftykins: fact is many disks can be fixed [00:42] so I wish to fix this one [00:43] at very least to get latest data from it [00:43] fact is dont claim something to be factual when it really isnt [00:43] it is based on the smartctl output from before, Apachez [00:44] grend: yes getting data is the only thing you will likely be able to achieve. [00:44] hello, lets say when i installed ubuntu, i chose not to require password to login when starting pc, now i've changed my mind, where/how do i tell it to require password to login now? [00:44] play with 'testdisk' maybe [00:44] yes [00:44] sleezio: settings > user [00:44] ty [00:49] hello hello [00:49] how everyone [00:52] Is there a way to ensure a job is being run in the background? Vague question I know... I'm running a mysql query that takes many hours but I lose my connection to the server and it halts the query. How can I run it and log out while it still works? [00:52] nohup? [00:52] or run it in a screen session [00:53] you can reattach to screen upon disconnection [00:55] daftykins: ty :D [01:01] !pm [01:01] 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. [01:01] i understand [01:01] !am [01:01] I know how to run a linux command from screen and detach from the session, how do I login to mysql and run a specific query and logout [01:02] use the mysql console? [01:02] mysql -u user -p [01:03] is there a way for 2 bluetooth headsets to share the same source? [01:04] ki7rw: i doubt it [01:04] right, that's what I was doing. sorry if this is clear. From there, it will be in the interpreter and not give me access to the terminal. Am I safe to disconnect if I started the screen session? [01:04] but then i can count on one finger how many times i've touched bluetooth [01:05] jayjo: yes because you first detach with "ctrl+a, d" then do whatever [01:05] give it a try. [01:05] What's the name of the fallback dm? I'm getting annoyed with it appearing instead of sddm when I open my laptop up from a suspend [01:05] i didn't think so - i can see how it could be a security issue if someone could evesdrop on skype or cell phone conversations [01:05] jayjo: with screen, while you've disconnected from screen, you didn't logout of the terminal (so the stuff will continue) [01:05] heh, I'm getting terrible performance, any ideas why? [01:05] it's soo bad I'm seeing keyboard lag [01:06] measured in seconds on spikes [01:06] barnex: share a screen/paste of 'top' ? [01:06] and check dmesg for issues? [01:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11070937/ - that's the dmesg, seems to be full of flash related segfaults [01:09] but that's not recent, since the supermeatboy and don't starve was hours ago [01:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11070965/ - here's top [01:10] hmm intel driver hangs [01:10] yeah your load average is high [01:11] weird, you're using a lot of swap despite having RAM free [01:11] barnex: has this happened regularly, or just this boot right now? [01:11] It's not performing great and I sometimes get laggy keyboard or program switching [01:12] but that's the new level of bad [01:12] this boot has uptime of 5 days and it was ok most of the time [01:12] do you have an SSD or a mechanical hard disk? [01:12] mechanical in raid 5 which wasn't smart [01:12] also luks [01:12] ugh. [01:13] so really, if this is the only time it's done it, there's not much to say [01:13] OK to be painfully clear, and I'm sorry that I'm new to this, but I run screen, detach it, and then run the command while using the detached screen? And at that point because it is detached the session won't be ruined if I disconnect? [01:13] so after I do ctl+a d to detach, I do screen -r get to back into the detached screen? [01:14] jayjo: I think the order should be run screen, run a command inside, detach [01:14] jayjo: you type screen, run "mysql -u user -p" to get the mysql terminal, then lets say you ran a query ending ; - you then press Ctrl+A, then single press 'd' [01:14] but I'm not sure what you want [01:14] OK, thanks I'm trying it now [01:16] hm, so… 25% load when listening to music online is fine on i5-4670K 3.4 Ghz? [01:16] Great that worked I think! screen must havea catch in place to grab ctl+a all the time, because when I ran the sql command I thought my cursor would've still be accepting inputs ontly into the mysql command line [01:16] seems like everything is so resource intensive nowadays [01:17] jayjo: mmm it's an intermediary layer that understands that stuff [01:17] barnex: well you've got skype running, been running for 5 days... really no point judging anything ;) [01:17] so like [01:17] regular restarts are now a thing in linux? :o [01:18] hi friends how to remove completly apache? [01:18] sudo service apache2 stop && sudo apt-get purge apache2 [01:18] bear in mind that'll nuke your configs [01:21] Ehh, it's weird, I'd expect reasonably current computer to be able to run pidgin, browser, a 7 year old game and stream some music without dying ;3 [01:21] and some screens with irc and shells [01:21] what version are you on? [01:21] and other weird stuff [01:21] 14.04 [01:21] has it at any point been upgraded from a prior? [01:21] It's a fresh install, but I kept my home === oliverio_ is now known as oliverio [01:21] since 2003 I think :P [01:22] including . folders? [01:22] yeah [01:22] ugh [01:22] daftykins ok no problem [01:22] well running a haswell there, using the on-die graphics judging by your dmesg from earlier, maybe there'd be benefits from a newer build [01:22] er newer kernel [01:23] that's worth looking into [01:23] although that on-die is just because I broke my graphics card recently [01:24] and it wasn't much better with it (nvidia card) [01:24] which one? [01:25] right well i've never seen anyone with such hardware have issues like you are, so i'd clean out that home personally [01:25] but maybe it'd only be worth doing once you get a new card in, assuming you are [01:25] MSI geforce GTX 780 OC [01:26] heh, maybe you're onto something [01:26] I upgraded everything, because performance was getting bad on my previous computer [01:26] and it wasn't that much better with the setup I think was pretty decent back than [01:26] I'll miss my dotfiles though :< [01:26] never hurts to cheak the health of your disks [01:27] but even in RAID dmesg would be screaming [01:27] The disks were new too [01:27] that doesn't mean a thing [01:27] I know [01:27] in a batch of 8 enterprise WDs i had two die in a month once [01:27] I run a default diagnostics before making an array [01:27] I mean smart [01:27] not sure which test though [01:27] it's probably worth looking into [01:28] sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdx | pastebinit [01:28] :) [01:28] with pastebinit and smartmontools installed [01:28] where sdx is each disk [01:29] I know [01:29] but then i have zero experience with encryption setups and soft RAID so they could factor into some of this behaviour [01:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11071246/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11071248/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11071249/ [01:35] maybe I should run some self-tests [01:36] Not sure which ones though? [01:37] definitely all clean there [01:37] nah i don't think so [01:37] I wonder, when you run 14.04 live how's performance? [01:38] because my dotfiles and raid setup shouldn't be an issue live [01:38] and it was terrible afair nevertheless [01:38] depends if you have a nice nippy flash drive :> [01:39] surprised you don't grab an SSD, i can't tolerate machines without them nowadays [01:39] leave the RAID for your media storage [01:39] spoilt [01:39] if spoilt is working and spending your own money on warped priorities, then sure - spoilt [01:40] :) [01:40] hello everyone, is this where I can get help with my ubuntu setup? [01:41] sometimes [01:41] yes it is! [01:41] join #Plez [01:41] though you have to ask a question first [01:41] dthboi: missing a / ? :) [01:41] quit [01:41] well, this setup is seriously spoilit'd anyways, so I might do that [01:41] its 'spoiled'. I was just saying it like some ppl on TV [01:42] okay, I'm having problems setting up my directory for nfs. it keeps on hanging when i try to do a mount [01:42] so, i installed ubuntu-desktop on top of a clean server install (needed raid), and i don't have audio.. lspci showed the intel hda, i have the driver in the conf, alsamixer volume turned up. [01:42] what magical package am i missing? [01:42] samba might work a little better [01:43] even though it's a xfs filesystem? [01:43] no experience with NFS here [01:45] hmm, maybe. Works great with zfs [01:45] Parabola: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting Have you gone through this very good doc about sound? [01:46] okay [01:48] deadmund: i had not, i followed this (to no avail) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:48] i'll check that one out now [01:48] deadmund: is there some meta / group package for desktop i need to install? [01:49] i needed mdadm during install, so i used server install, then added the DE with the meta package [01:49] alsa-base and pulseaudio appear to be installed and "working" [01:49] Parabola: ubuntu-desktop is the meta package, though installing ubuntu-desktop^ is the tasksel entry [01:49] not sure if it'd pull in anything else [01:49] Parabola: fritsch has some minimal server install guide somewhere though [01:49] assuming this is for Kodi [01:50] kodi? no [01:50] its a desktop./ [01:50] no XBMC [01:50] ah ok [01:50] i did xubuntu-desktop, but yeah, i dont even have audio / sound entries in settings [01:51] nor do i have a volume thing to add to panel. i feel like somethign is missing [01:51] hello? [01:51] yes? [01:51] there are no sound settings, so theres some package im missing that might be vital [01:52] I need help. I am running Kubuntu 15.04. Ever since the last security update, I am having an issue with grub [01:52] I'm getting g-io-error-quark [01:53] lol.. fixed [01:53] well, partially fixed, in alsamixer i set the device, but it was being overriden by PA, so the HDMI out audio (no HDMI being used) was the "default' [01:53] now to get the volume panel installed :) [01:54] i'll try samba, because I know that kodi can read samba directories, but I wasn't sure because the shared directories were in xfs. [01:54] hi everyone [01:54] does anyone know how to fix my problem? [01:55] how do i use the output of a cut command to a wget request? [01:55] user_: sounds like a question for #bash [01:55] im trying something like cut | wget $1 [01:55] grep 'var myPhpVar' teste | cut -d "'" -f2 | [01:55] eryndiamonds, what sort of drive is it? [01:55] eryndiamonds: when do you see this "g-io..." ? [01:56] btw, how would that SSD setup look? Keep all my dotfiles on SSD and UnionFS my /home? [01:56] or just have home/media as a mount point for my heavy stuff? [01:57] i usually say to symlink or mount the media folders to the mechanical [01:57] I see it when I go into recovery mode. because Kubuntu will no longer reboot nor boot up without going through recovery mode [01:57] so Music, Pictures, Videos, etc [01:57] is there a way to test unity8-mir desktop session when you run nvidia proprietary on X? [01:57] How do I find my drive info again? [01:58] any suggestions for a smb.conf setup so that kodi can use mythtv to record to the shared directory? [01:59] daftykins. Is it a driver issue? [02:00] no? [02:00] ok???? [02:00] although i suspect you may have meant 'drive' ? [02:00] which was not my suggestion if you look above :) [02:00] yes I did [02:01] Hard to follow. you were talking to 2 of us [02:02] but it was someone else who mentioned disks to you :) [02:03] I just don't know how to fix the problem. [02:04] It is very annoying [02:04] well i'm not sure why compdoc asked what sort of drive you have, but err [02:05] I don't know either [02:05] what happens when you try to boot normally? [02:05] I wasn't having any problems before the last security update [02:06] does aplay play sounds from url? [02:06] what do you deem a security update? [02:06] It goes to a blank screen and no drive activity. I have to manually restart and then it gives me the grub menu [02:06] eryndiamonds: tried booting with nomodeset? [02:07] It was a pop-up on bottom of screen telling me there was a security update [02:07] nomodeset? [02:07] !nomodeset [02:07] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:08] do you use any proprietary graphics drivers? [02:09] not sure. i was given this laptop several years ago. I have no idea what it has. It is very old. 2007 [02:10] mmhmm [02:10] eryndiamonds: well try the above and see how you get on, then we can continue if you come back [02:11] How do I do the !nomodeset? [02:11] eryndiamonds: you see how me typing that made ubottu speak? read her message. === JonathanDongle is now known as JonathanD [02:13] Hi. Is there a program that will reorganize my photos to a new directory structure (right now they are Year/Month/Day and I want then Year/Month)? You can change the import structure on Shotwell, but I don't see a way to reorganize already imported photos with this program. [02:14] Not sure, have you tried shotwell and simmilar photo management programs newhoa? [02:25] I can't find a way to do it in gThumb. I'm trying a weird roundabout way in shotwell right now which is erasing the database, setting it to import into an empty folder, and then importing my library into that new folder. [02:25] Seems like there would be a really simple command line app for this. All it needs to do is read exif date data and sort. [02:26] if there is, your research would've turned it up though right? [02:26] I think it might be one of those things, that are so simple nobody bothers to make a command for it and package it, since you can write a script for it in half an hour [02:28] and this half hour probably includes learning how to write scripts in bash :P [02:29] i would have just sorted my pics from the beginning *cough* [02:30] identify -verbose path/to/image | grep date:create: [02:30] gets you create date [02:34] | awk -e '{print ($2)}' | awk -F- -e '{print ($1)}' - gets you a year [02:34] | awk -e '{print ($2)}' | awk -F- -e '{print ($2)}' - gets you a month [02:34] store those in variable [02:34] mkdir -p $YEAR/$MONTH [02:34] move $PHOTO $YEAR/$MONTH [02:35] and you're done [02:35] be nicer if you took that to #bash really :> [02:35] do this for every photo with find or bash loop if they are all in the same dir [02:35] sorry [02:35] If I took that to #bash they'd probably tell me that I'm terrible and this sucks :P [02:35] Because it probably does [02:36] point is, it's simple enough to not require a commandline tool [02:42] ？？ [02:43] :-( [02:44] hanhui: if you are here for support, ask a question [02:44] just wandering about [02:45] hi how can i help u [02:45] Ghen: i was referring to the user named [02:49] hi how can i help u [02:53] LMNOP: stop it [02:57] am i makeing u mad [02:58] just trying to help [03:01] Ah, thanks you all. I just ended up doing the weird shotwell thing. It worked. [03:02] glad it did [03:06] Hello [03:06] hi how can i help u === d is now known as Guest93182 === Guest93182 is now known as netgear1 [03:08] anyone own any system76 products or have any opinions on their desktops? [03:09] I have a machine hooked up to a TV, and the BIOS can't drive the TV's native resolution (but Ubuntu does just fine once X11 starts and I get a desktop) [03:09] since I can't actually see the boot menu is there a way to make grub tell it to boot from a USB stick without interactoin? [03:11] justdave: I know it's a silly suggestion, but have you considered just temporarily hooking it up to a monitor to enable the setting in the BIOS? [03:11] or learn the boot menu key [03:11] dingurt: yeah, stongly suspected that's what'd have to be done, but that involves finding one :-) [03:11] if he can't see the option, then he won't know which one to select [03:12] can't exactly detatch a laptop display :) [03:13] lol, no [03:13] oh, actually.... I have one of those crashcart adapters I use for work when I visit datacenters, plugs the USB and video from a server into the USB port on the laptop and shows me the display on the laptop. should have thought of that. bet that'll work [03:14] well there ya go [03:14] dingurt: you have no sense of adventure! :D [03:15] *press key, cursor down, hit enter... hope... repeat* :D [03:15] haha [03:22] sven86: it was forever ago, but are you still having NFS issues? As I use it. [03:23] yes, very much so [03:23] sven86: is it an external drive? [03:24] yes, it's a raid === wook is now known as Guest67850 [03:25] hmm, no luck. crashcart adapter is VGA, the box hooked up to the TV only has a DVI output (and a DVI->HDMI converter between it and the TV) [03:25] can't find a DVI->VGA converter anywhere [03:25] sven86: i have not done it with raid, but maybe can help. Have you setup your exports directory [03:26] yes i have, and they hang when i do sudo exportfs -a [03:26] sven86: one min, lemme go through my setup [03:29] sven86: i had issues at first but it was because of /etc/idmapd.conf what does yours look like [03:30] sven86: also is this for just local use [03:31] geoffmcc: yes, it's for local use for now. I'm just trying to setup my kodi frontend to see the directories on my mythbuntu backend [03:32] aha, found a DVI->VGA, and it works, I can see it :) [03:32] Anyone know how to get the exact ubuntu desktop theme for xrdp? [03:33] geoffmcc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11072568/ [03:33] sven86: does /etc/idmapd.conf contain Domain = localdomain under the #set your domain here section? On all machines. THats what made it work for me [03:33] sven86: try uncommenting Domain = localdomain [03:34] sven86: on both client and server [03:35] geoffmcc: okay === Boogie is now known as Boogie_ === Boogie_ is now known as _Boogie_ [03:36] Boa noite pessoal! [03:36] Hi I am having difficulty starting X after upgrading to 15.04 [03:36] geoffmcc: I also get this when I do showmount: showmount -e xxx.xxx.x.x gives me this: rpc mount export: RPC: Timed out [03:36] this is the error thrown by lightdm http://paste.ubuntu.com/11072521/ === _Boogie_ is now known as boogieidm [03:37] I get low resolution x with nouveau drivers. but when I remove it and install the ubuntu recommended proprietary nvidia-331 drivers, I just get blank screens [03:37] viyyer: what card? [03:39] daftfykins: nvidia GF108GLM [ [03:39] daftfykins: nvidia GF108GLM [NVS5200M] (rev a1) [03:39] acording to lspci [03:41] geoffmcc: I uncomment on the mythbuntu server, but I don't know how to uncomment it on the kodi frontend, because i'm using amazon fire tv as the frontend [03:41] sven86: lemme do some more looking [03:42] daftykin [03:42] sven86: also you have installed nfs-common on client? [03:42] mythbuntu works with amazon fire tv? [03:43] no i haven't [03:43] viyyer: is this a desktop? [03:43] ah no M, so laptop surely [03:43] daftykins: should I try the other drivers? I have already tried the noueau and nvidia-331-update. nouveau shows low resolution like 640x480 and update doesn't show anything [03:43] that's... old and technically quadro i think [03:43] yeah try 304 [03:44] daftykins: nope, its a laptop [03:44] daftykins: its a quadro processor [03:45] haven't had X issues on ubuntu in a long time [03:45] sven86: likely your issue... I used this guide to setup mine https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/network-file-system.html#nfs-client-configuration [03:45] i've read that one [03:45] viyyer: sticking to LTS was probably wiser for such age hardware, but yeah see how nvidia-304 grabs you. [03:46] geoffmcc: but the freezing and hanging is happening on the server side [03:46] ok .. let me enable nouveau and then switch to 304 [03:46] enable? just purge nvidia* and install nvidia-304 [03:46] daftykins: oh ok [03:47] daftykins: could this have been because of kernel upgrade as well? === malimbar is now known as Wolfgang === Wolfgang is now known as Wolfgang275 [03:49] sven86: hmm. All i did was sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server. Setup /etc/exports with /media/usb/media 192.168.1.0/24(ro,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) and then sudo service nfs-kernel-server start [03:50] viyyer: just moving up to 15.04 during the upgrade? yeah that kernel change to 3.19 would change a few things [03:51] sven86: on the client side i setup fstab nfs-server:/media/usb/media /media/usb nfs auto 0 0, as well as set the Domain = localdomain in /etc/idmapd.conf [03:51] geoffmcc: yeah, i did that too, but when i try to do sudo service nfs-kernel-server start, it hangs [03:52] how can i add a public key for apt-get? [03:53] sven86: only other thing i can really say is I did all this on Ubuntu Server 15.04 and my client is Jessie 8 [03:54] geoffmcc: okay, thanks [03:54] sven86: sorry. Like i said I had issues until i set on both sides the Domain = localdomain, but at no time was there any hang on server side, so you are having a different issue [03:57] !gpgerr | most_wanted [03:57] most_wanted: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories?

[03:59] sven86: now that i think of it, it could be freezing/hanging on the server side cause it cant make connection to client due to nfs-common not being installed, seeing as you presumably setup your desired shares on the server side and then tried to start it [04:00] sven86: no wait thats not right....sorry couldnt be of more help [04:00] geoffmcc: Okay, but I found this, when I was checking out my dmesg: "nfs: server xxx not responding, timed out" [04:01] how to install xamp in ubuntu 14.04 [04:02] how to install xamp in ubuntu 14.04 [04:02] anyone?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:03] OK thanks im sorry [04:05] sven86: oh wait, not 100% sure matters, but did you do sudo exportfs -a before or after you sudo service nfs-kernel-server start [04:05] nextech: well you know what the letters stand for right? so you are installing apache, mysql and either PHP or Perl or some such [04:05] nextech: so install apache2, mysql-server and php5 [04:07] so i guess it isn't referred to as LAMP anymore? [04:07] all thank you [04:07] dingurt: yes, X simply refers to *any OS* [04:07] ah [04:08] figured [04:08] i wouldn't have said that in a Linux channel :) [04:12] sven86: also, sure you dont have a firewall enabled? [04:13] geoffmcc: you know what? that could be the problem [04:14] sven86: i didnt even think of that at first since I dont use as my ubuntu server does not have direct incomming access. You have to go through my Pi to get to my Ubuntu Server [04:16] if not accessing locally [04:19] hi LAMP gurus, is it still customary to place apache.conf config changes in a 'child' conf? [04:21] good morning to all [04:21] andrewjs18: you mean sites or the main config for the server itself? [04:21] daftykins, main config [04:21] i always make a backup and edit direct, you'll find it's pretty separated these days though [04:22] separate portions all over the shop :P [04:22] yeah, I've noticed. I had just created a custom.conf and adding some configs in there that I noticed were also in server.conf..I guess the server.conf config options were overriding the ones I placed inside custom.conf [04:22] ^_^ [04:23] yeah hardly worth listing things twice [04:23] can't say i've ever known of doing that one separate [04:23] sorry, it was security.conf [04:24] in older versions of apache, there wasn't a separate security.conf file, was there? [04:24] Hi [04:24] nah [04:24] that's what I thought [04:24] nor were the worker module configs separate too [04:24] hi how can i help u [04:25] I guess I shall just make a copy of the enitre apache directory, then make my edits direct, as you mentioned [04:25] I updated to ubuntu 15.04 and accidentally deleted the ubuntu gnome via terminal and it booted to termnal so I followed the instructions to get the light dm back [04:25] no sense in copying a file here or there..easier to do the whole directory, lol [04:25] now, it's stuck in a login loop [04:26] !recovery | spearson [04:26] spearson: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [04:26] I enter my password and it just asks for it agian [04:26] spearson: you can also try 'fix broken packages' from grub recoverymode [04:26] spearson: check your ~ for any files not owned by your user [04:30] spearson: re: daftykins's suggestion above, ~/.Xauthority specifically can be an issue (if not owned by your user) [04:31] I booted into recovery [04:31] what next? [04:31] ls -al ~/ | pastebinit [04:32] spearson: try the 'fix broken packages' [04:33] what't the command to fix broken packages? [04:34] i believe it's a menu item, no? [04:35] yes, should be on the menu of recoverymode [04:35] I saw it but the drop down command line has scrolled it off the screen [04:35] should I reboot into recovery again? [04:36] spearson: i dont know wich option you triggered [04:36] root shell perhaps? [04:36] spearson: did you choose something else from list like terminal or failsafeX ? [04:37] Drop to root shell prompt [04:37] that was what I triggered [04:38] spearson: ok reboot, and re-enter recoverymode, this time with fix broken packages [04:38] ok [04:41] I selected fix broken packages and it said the software was up to date so I went ahead with a partial upgrade if it did anything [04:41] should I try to reboot normally now? === learner001_ is now known as learner001 [04:42] spearson: how about failsafeX would that bring you any further?

[05:35] spearson: sounds like your upgrade didn't go so well. just upgraded to 15.04 did you say? [05:36] yup [05:36] andrewjs18: directly yes [05:36] spearson: log in via TTY and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to ensure it finished properly [05:36] but it sounds like it's game over and clean install time [05:36] ok [05:36] (after backing up) [05:36] daftykins, nice..I made the mistake of putting 12.10 on another server I was running..had to go from 12.10 to 13.10 and then over to 14.04, IIRC.

My question is: does ubuntu by default run some time sync app? ntpdate is installed by default but is not running (Loaded: not-found (sudo service ntp status ● ntp.service Loaded: not-found Reason: No such file or directory) [10:02] انا موجود فی الویب [10:03] meandrain: My advice is to install ntp for that :) (apt-get install ntp). You can configure servers in /etc/ntp.conf [10:03] Sometimes, virtual machines just aren't as fast as their non-virtual counterparts. [10:04] meandrain: No. You can add a cron to run it [10:04] meandrain: I have a file /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate containing the following [10:04] meandrain: /usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [10:04] I will install ntp. So there is no time sync installed by default? I am asking because it keeps time properly. I also have a CentOS in virtual and it does not keep time like ubuntu [10:05] noob question, any help is appreciated. i want to install ubuntu 15.04 using software raid (RAID 0) on a laptop that has two 128gb SSDs. this site (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID) says i need the alternate install of ubuntu but I cannot find which one it is. any suggestions? [10:05] It's probably the VM that keeps the time in sync with the host OS [10:06] is there a way to find out if ntpdate is run by some script? [10:06] meandrain: Good question, i'm not sure of ntp is being installed by default. For your CentOS machine, check /etc/localtime for the timezone (I make a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Amsterdam) [10:06] meandrain: check /etc/crontab. crontab -l. or cat /etc/cron.*/* [10:07] So guys, been quickly growing grey hair...

[10:07] meandrain: ah, looks like ntpdate is hooked to the network interface [10:07] or is it a problem if post here [10:07] .~~,0 [10:07] meandrain: i.e. it gets run whenever an interface connects [10:07] meandrain: dpkg -L ntpdate [10:08] prezentare de ubuntu : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbdFLqiAz8 [10:08] geirha: so how often it is run?

Because then it has to connect to the virtual netowrk interface [10:12] geirha: is still weritd, the virtual guest is started two days ago and time is synced. Same for centos, still time is way off [10:13] geirha: maybe it syncs other times too, like for example when I ssh into machine I have info regarding packets that must be updated. So it checks for that, maybe it also syncs the time [10:16] meandrain: possibly. It installs something in /etc/logcheck too, not sure what that is [10:23] I'm working with nvidia 840m/ubuntu 14.04.2. All versions of nvidia drivers seem to cause lightdm to instantly log back out upon login, does anyone know a fix that works? [10:23] Askubuntu.com has too many solutions to sanely attempt. [10:25] geirha: I think that /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/ntpdate is added to logcheck ignore so it will not log ntpdate time adjustments [10:25] which could be annoying and is not useful === comodo_dragon is now known as kong0 [10:25] meandrain: ok, I don't know then === swordsmanz is now known as hugbot [10:35] hello there, guys [10:35] anyone to help with the front panel audio problem?

[10:37] Rory: changed BIOS settings, but that didn't help [10:37] 99% it's the volume is turned down [10:37] Rory: and where do I checked that? [10:37] * check [10:37] the_tricky: click the volume icon in the top panel and click Sound Settings [10:38] the_tricky: the_tricky On the first tab, "output", make sure the correct device is selected in the left panel, and that the output volume at the bottom isn't muted [10:38] Rory: they are both 100% and unmuted ^( [10:38] :( [10:39] the_tricky: Has your front audio jack EVER worked (in other operating systems) or is this the first time you've ever tried to use it? [10:39] Rory: yes, it did work, but I forgot about it quite long ago [10:39] Rory: and trying now I get no result [10:40] the_tricky: when you say they are "both" 100% and unmuted, what is the additional entry? [10:40] check you speker and pcm channels in alsamixer [10:41] open an terminal and type alsamixer [10:41] Rory: I am not quite sure about that, but I have digital and analog sound options [10:41] I like the program "pavucontrol" for audio settings, although you have to install it [10:41] the_tricky: OK, the digital one will be for your HDMI output, and the analogue one is the one you want [10:42] the_tricky: if you install pavucontrol from Software Centre and run it, you can go to the Configuration tab and select the analogue one as the default output device [10:42] the_tricky: There might be other ways to do that, but pavucontrol is the one I know [10:43] hey, is anyone know what's the linuxmint's channel id? thanks very much [10:43] !mint [10:43] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

Take a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems [10:50] the_tricky: There's a link at the top of the old page, but I'm letting you know in case you missed it [10:54] Rory: excuse me for being so dumb, but isn't that page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems) for bug reporting issues? [10:56] the_tricky: Yeah sorry, my bad, I just saw the link at the top of the first one that said it was out of date [11:00] Rory: how do I check if the port itself is powered? [11:01] Rory: I assumed that if USBs are fine, so should jacks [11:01] Rory: is that right? [11:02] the_tricky: Not necessarily. The analogue audio jacks are connected to the audio interface, which is separate from USB [11:02] the_tricky: Do you hear an amp buzz/click when you plug earphones into the jack? [11:02] the_tricky: if you know what I mean [11:02] does it "sound powered" ?

I tried to recreate it but I guess I can't get the permissions right. Can anyone help me with the right permissions or a way to get ufw to recreate the file? [14:46] caseyd: what makes you think it has found anything new to log that would've recreated it? [14:46] reisio, I even set logging to full and it wasn't working [14:48] probably not related to permissions [14:48] but the internet reports this: '-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm' [14:52] caseyd: Have you stopped and started ufw or restarted the machine? [14:52] i removed the only sudoer account and recreat it (as a sudoer), but forgot to set a password. I can log into the sudoer's account automatically, but can't actually use sudo (password prompt).

I have a software which I built localy. In the sources root-tree there's a file named "server.service". I guess it is a systemd-ish start service file. But where do I place that file and how do I make it active? [15:05] Night_Elf: i think in /etc/systemd/system , and systemctl enable server.service see the below for more info [15:06] !systemd [15:06] systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [15:06] bazhang, no idea. Been watching some youtube videos and they apt-get install subversion and apt-get python-twisted python [15:07] EriC__: Ah, from 15.04 ! I am on 14.04LTS so it is upstart and I can't use it. Hmm...

[15:25] i keep getting something something locked [15:26] is that normal or it's just me [15:26] crack: You can't, and yes it's completely normal. [15:26] ok thanks [15:27] hi all! I installed Ubuntu 15.04 (but I experinced this problem with an upgraded 15.04 too) last week. I have a wireless internet access and sometimes it doesn't work. tHe icon is showing it is connected, but I don't have IP address. I need to reconnect manually. I don't experience this with other releases. Any idea? Maybe something wrong with systemd? [15:28] I experience this about 5/10 boots [15:40] Is there a way to manually mount partitions during installation? [15:41] Ex.: Format an exotic filesystem, install, then chroot and rebuild initramfs and grub-install manually [15:42] shlomocomputer: If you're using the ubuntu livecd/usb, I do this by going to "try" first, then poping open a root terminal [15:42] shlomocomputer: The installer works as an app from within the "try" so I can manually do pre and post installation work. [15:43] sure, but then when you "Choose something else" in the GUI for partitioning, you can't select a filesystem if Ubiquity doesn't know about it [15:43] If you go to try, open a terminal, apt-get install your exotic filesystem, then run ubiquity afterwards, it still doesn't see said fs? [15:44] Even something as simple as, "Use my swap partition that I created with mkswap -L MyLabel /dev/sda3" [15:44] no option to format for ext4? ...never used that option since I usually do the manual option [15:44] nith1210: nope [15:45] shlomocomputer: interesting. Sorry, i've no idea. I follow a similar set to setup my raid but I suppose it's different. [15:45] hello [15:46] nith1210: I lucked out with my current setup b/c I formatted my root partition ext4 and then added Flashcache later, which you can do [15:47] but suppose I was working with bcache instead. There, you have to prepare the backing store prior to mkfs/mount [15:47] hullo [15:47] In Arch Linux they used to have a GUI (ncurses) but you could opt for manual install [15:48] Any Archers in here btw? :) [15:48] anyway thanks [15:49] Ugh, ok, I'm trying to partition a drive using parted, and when I get it partitioned and mounted it only shows the size as 1003K instead of the entire 5TB... Any idea how to troubleshoot what I'm doing wrong? [15:50] shreez: I'm gonna try to help you [15:50] shlomocomputer, Thanks so much! :) [15:51] hi everyone, how can I make the clock show the date in ubuntu 14.x [15:51] 14.04 LTS [15:52] shreez: gparted show you a partition of 5TB? === walker is now known as Guest4369 [15:52] shreez: Please paste output of "parted -l" (as superuser) to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [15:52] i found solutions for 12.X and 13.X but they aren't working in 14.04 [15:52] aaah. go to time settings¿ [15:53] Tangerine: Click on "Clock" tab [15:53] oh how did I not see this option before [15:53] thanks [15:53] shlomocomputer, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11080973/ [15:53] :) plezh [15:53] k [15:54] shreez: What gave you the idea you had only a tiny partition?

Opts: (null) [16:04] capruro, No other messages when I mount the fs [16:04] shreez: I presume that you've formatted and reformatted it [16:04] shlomocomputer, I thought parted did that... How do I need to format it? [16:05] Try to do it like this, as superuser: umount /dev/sde1 && mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde1 [16:06] That (or some variation) is the underlying command === kpease_ is now known as kpease [16:07] shlomocomputer, That's it! [16:07] Show's 4.6T now! [16:07] shreez: Great. I've never used parted; it must be doing some kind of magic [16:08] shlomocomputer, What do you use? [16:08] People swear by it but I've always had a good experience with gdisk and mkfs.whatever_file_system_you_want [16:08] Never used gdisk. Perhaps I should be using that one... :) [16:09] shlomocomputer: LOL good job! [16:09] shlomocomputer, I'm a total noob, but even a Google search didn't really help me with this one! [16:10] Hi when updating I get an error at least once a week now: Failed to fetch http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid-updates/main/i18n/Translation-en Hash Sum mismatch [16:10] Happy to help. parted seems overly complex to me; not sure why they use that as default. [16:10] Why could this be. If I wait one day it is gone. [16:10] Usually. [16:10] shlomocomputer, Well, thanks so much! You win one internet from me today! [16:10] I have a correspondence with the guy who wrote gdisk--he is an extremely active community member and his software is solid and friendly [16:11] shlomocomputer, I will probably use that next time. [16:11] shlomocomputer, Looking at a Google search it seems to be quite a bit easier to use. [16:11] My please. Now hopefully my karma will get my question answered: Is there any such thing as manual installation, a la Arch Linux? [16:11] ^ my pleasure [16:12] shlomocomputer, Does a server install give you something close to what you want? [16:13] shreez: never tried it [16:13] Doubtful, because I do want a nice *buntu desktop after all [16:13] shlomocomputer: I don't understand what are you looking for? [16:14] shlomocomputer: you want to install ubuntu like arch? manually? [16:14] shlomocomputer i guess what you want, is a !mini installation, so you can choose what to install [16:14] shlomocomputer: question? [16:15] EriC__: yeah === amin__ is now known as amflir [16:16] shlomocomputer: install arch then [16:17] !mini | shlomocomputer [16:17] shlomocomputer: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD === kpease is now known as kpease_ [16:18] MonkeyDust: Cool. Is the text-based installer a package that I could apt-get during a live session with a desktop CD? [16:18] hi. I have an intel i3 using intel_pstate and powersave governor the default. It is supposed to run at minimum frequency but in fact frquency is at 1.7MHz the max being 1.8MHz. so why is it so high ? cpu usage is not high. I hav eonly chromium running [16:19] shlomocomputer yes, you can download it from a live session, but then save it to a safe place [16:21] MonkeyDust: Well, I guess I meant, is the text-based installer itself a package that I could install into the live session (the way you e.g. install xfsprogs if you need to mount xfs during a live session), and then run within the desktop LiveCD [16:21] hi, I am wondering if someone can give me feedback about upgrades from 14.10 to 15.04 - how did it work for you? etc. [16:22] it would be like, server-style installation of desktop Ubuntu [16:22] penguser, please don't poll, what is your issue with upgrading? [16:22] I found 'how-to's' - it seems straightforward but I wonder if it is like that for most users :) [16:22] 1894 answers? [16:22] shlomocomputer, are you going to run unity or another desktop environment? [16:23] not a poll; just wondering if there's anything to watch out for - i.e. surprises [16:23] I'm running Gnome ...currently using classic === kpease_ is now known as kpease [16:24] I guess I or someone would just sift through Ubiquity source code and eventually come up with a walk-through. I certainly would love an Arch-style fine-grained installation in conjunction with Ubuntu. Best of both worlds IMO [16:24] penguser: purge unneeded ppa's and you should be ok [16:25] shlomocomputer: like what do you want to customize? [16:25] shlomocomputer if you're skilled enough, feel free to contribute to ubuntu [16:25] brb [16:26] you pick the locale when you start the installer, and you can partition manually.. arch you just have to do everything manually [16:26] EriC__, sorry, but, how do I know which ppa's are unneeded? === kpease is now known as kpease_ [16:27] penguser: if you're not using them remove them, ppa's usually break upgrades [16:27] All ppa's are disabled during upgrade, btw [16:28] EriC__: For example, I want to manually create a swap partition with a label. Or, I'm using LXLE which doesn't have xfsprogs by default, install it, format root partition xfs, mount it, install Ubuntu, chroot post-install, apt-get install xfsprogs (into the target) and redo mkinitramfs/grub-install === yCrazyEdd is now known as CrazyEddy [16:29] ^partition^space [16:29] penguser: ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ should show the ppa sources [16:30] hi someone use nodejs? [16:31] shlomocomputer: you can do all that in ubuntu already, create the xfs and swap and choose them in the installer [16:31] jzp113: Node, nodebody ujses nodejs. (sorry) [16:31] EriC__: can't if Ubiquity doesn't know about a certain fs [16:31] shlomocomputer, I use apt-get install nodejs [16:32] and in the case of mkswap -L MyLabel, Ubiquity insists on reformatting your swap space no matter what. No option to use without format [16:32] shlomocomputer: pretty sure it knows about xfs [16:32] jzp113: What's your question? [16:33] how do I check for system updates for Ubuntu [16:33] shlomocomputer: just change the label later then, or don't pick it as swap and add it to your fstab [16:33] RNeville: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:33] I input node in commend it show me /usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory [16:33] thx EriC__ [16:33] EriC__: Not LXLE, as I mentioned. Or suppose I want f2fs on stock Ubuntu 14.04.2. Or Reiserfs. [16:34] but I input nodejs is all right how to change nodejs to node [16:34] shlomocomputer: it supports reiserfs [16:35] jzp113: add a line "alias node=nodejs" in ~/.bashrc? [16:35] EriC__: F2fs then. You need a PPA and the userspace tools [16:36] Or zfsonlinux [16:36] Point is, mount partitions manually and then install packages to the target as normal [16:37] shlomocomputer what is your end goal in ubuntu? [16:37] shlomocomputer: ok, work on adding f2fs support in ubiquity === kpease_ is now known as kpease === kpease is now known as kpease_ === kpease_ is now known as kpease [16:39] MonkeyDust, EriC__: It's not a philosophical question, clearly there's no support for what I'm talking about, I'd be happy to contribute something like what I'm describing, thanks [16:40] is there any utility which can undelete my files in ext4? [16:40] !info testdisk | harishkrupo [16:40] yes, a number [16:40] harishkrupo: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool.

[16:41] shlomocomputer, but it doesn't work [16:42] capruro: yeah, individual terminal commands [16:42] shlomocomputer: ubuntu doesn't support f2fs out of the box, arch does recently [16:42] jzp113: What doesn't work? Making the link, or running it? [16:43] making the link.and run the node doesn't work shlomocomputer [16:43] EriC__: Thanks. My question is not about filesystems but rather about the ability to manually install userspace tools for any arbitrary exotic filesystem and _mount_partitions_manually_ pre-installation (<- the three active words) [16:44] jzp113: It has to be executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/theLink [16:45] my point is that ubuntu won't do that, i think [16:45] shlomocomputer: I don't know if exist a distro of ubuntu whit a manual installation, you can try to press Alt+F1 or install in live. But I'm not sure that's work [16:45] so in order for that to work, you'd have to add the support to ubiquity [16:46] EriC__: yep, seems so. [16:46] A walk-through on the wiki or in the forums shouldn't be a horrible challenge [16:47] i'd like to see that happen as an option, but i sincerely doubt it would happen, a manual install like arch [16:47] just did apt-get source ubiquity [16:48] Sigh...gotta figure out what to do this summer. Maybe this'll be my computer project. [16:48] i want to recover some files but testdisk seems to recover partitions [16:48] :P [16:48] harishkrupo: press p over the partition to list the files [16:49] shlomocomputer: yeah maybe some day it'll happen though [16:49] I've set up a samba share, restarted smbd. Can't reach it from my windows PC, nothing gets logged to smbd.log when I try, iptables is set to ACCEPT. the server is otherwise reachable. any tips for further troubleshooting? :p [16:50] EriC__: cheers, take care [16:50] (the server itself isn't reachable through samba*) [16:51] robhol: can you pastebin of smb.conf [16:51] can somebody give me a small tut on how to use this utility testdisk, i am in a hurry [16:52] shlomocomputer: you too === kpease is now known as kpease_ [16:52] harishkrupo, there is, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step === kpease_ is now known as kpease [16:53] harishkrupo: press p over the partition after you do a quick search or deep search ( let it run a bit just until it finds the partitions ), then press c to copy the files and choose where and press C to copy, [16:53] harishkrupo: or you can select a bunch of files, and press C to copy them all, then C after you select the destination [16:54] harishkrupo: a heads-up though, ext4 and testdisk don't play well [16:54] capruro: https://gist.github.com/c1b05a0224edeb5ff206 not the whole config, but the rest is unchanged === kpease is now known as kpease_ [16:54] can anyone tell me how I might figure out why my syslog-ng hasn't been writing new logs for a while? [16:54] harishkrupo: there's photorec that searches for files you want and recovers them, it might work better [16:55] fearnothing: type df -h [16:55] 99GB of space... [16:56] trying... [16:56] but it doesnt seem to find properly [16:56] will try photorec [16:57] what do you mean? [16:57] robhol: is security set as USER in global ? [16:57] which type of file are you trying to recover? [16:57] capruro: is what set as what where? I just followed the guide [16:57] I don't actually know jack :p [16:58] I just installed samba a second ago, so whatever it is is default [16:58] robhol: on the top of the conf file there is GLOBAL [16:59] if i boot linux from USB, is it a concern to overwrite hard disk contents? [16:59] robhol: can you pastebin full smb.conf file [16:59] allegorical no, your hard disk stays untouched [16:59] capruro: sec [17:00] unfortunately testdisk found the deleted directories but couldn't find the files inside it [17:00] so there is no way to tamper with it in the usb booted linux? [17:01] Hi all, I configured dchp3 and gave my server a static address of 192.168.0.200 but for some reason dhcp is still handing it the address of 192.168.0.51. Any ideas why?

[17:13] I think my HDMI is card 0 device 8, when I write: speaker-test -c wav -D plughw:0,8 the command is running, but I get no sound on my tv [17:14] robhol, windows filesharing is not made for the internet [17:14] robhol: you must open port on router to forward smb outside local network [17:14] heh, fair enough [17:14] but is very slowly [17:15] capruro: there's no router as such, it's a dedi [17:15] but really, I'm dropping the whole samba idea, SFTP will cut it. I just can't mount it on my Windows machine, but that's survivable. Thanks anyway! [17:16] aplay -l gives me multiple cards and devices, but it lists HDMI2 as card 0 device 8, on the application Display, my HDMI display is marked as HDMI2 [17:17] Am I wrong in asumpting that card 0 device 8 is indeed the correct audio input ?

In linux containers, when doing a fancy listing ("lxc-ls -f"), is there a way to order the listing by IP? [17:31] don't remember adding that one ... lol [17:31] but, that's all of them [17:33] archheretic, your audio driver is probly not loading, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there won't be any output from the command if the driver loads properly, then reboot , but also make sure allyou vol ctls in alsamixewr are turned up and automute is disabled [17:34] alsamixer that is [17:35] I think I should remove that one....? doesn't look like it has updates for vervet? [17:35] what method is recommended for ppa removal?

I'm trying to install a large package (CUDA), and I'm getting "E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/".

[18:00] http://pastebin.com/Bn2EU0TS [18:01] that was quick [18:01] The disk was originally 8 gigs, used VBoxManage modifyhd to change virtual size to 20GB [18:01] Haha I was just going to do it anyway [18:01] why not attach a second disk to the machine and mount it to /var/cache/apt/archives/ then try again - but you have practically no space there [18:01] Just me having connection issues ? [18:01] if you ran tune2fs you could remove the 5% reserved for root space on the partition but i'd not hugely recommend it === Munt__ is now known as Munt [18:02] Well thing is VBox shows it has a virtual size of 20GB so it should be able to grow, but I don't fully understand how that actually works [18:02] I installed ubuntu 14.04 on a machine from a usb stick, and somehow managed to confuse grub. Grub wants to boot the USB stick instead of the hard drive [18:02] n3ss3s: actually you said 20GB and yet i see a 5.3GB sda1, hrmm [18:02] n3ss3s: can you run "sudo parted -l | pastebinit" ?

[18:51] However, it still says I don't have enough size for the package [18:51] inconceivable basically, it's rdesktop -u [XP username] [XP ip address] === starlord3 is now known as pquill3 [18:52] jack_: nope, reinstalling would be required [18:52] n3ss3s: well yeah because your partition is the same isn't it, you're not making *use* of the larger disk. you need to swapoff, delete swap, delete extended, resize sda1, recreate swap, swapon, then do it :) (ideally from a live session) [18:52] MonkeyDust: Okay, will do. [18:52] dang. i did so much to it [18:52] welp. guess so. thx, i guess [18:53] Hi-running 14.04 LTS on dell latitude e6400. When I close my laptop cover, the screen freezes at the login screen. Everything else works perfect. Has anyone experienced this problem? [18:55] wow that was easy thanks daftykins [18:55] I had sort of done that, except I didn't delete extended in the middle [18:56] ah, surely it would've disallowed resizing sda1 with it still there [18:56] good evening, is there a way to add an openvpn connection to networkmanager (and adding the password for the key) via script?? [18:56] yeah I didnt resize sda1, I resized extended to take up the space [18:56] ah [18:56] I thought extended would actually be used [18:57] extended partitions are simply a 'frame' for logical drives to exist within, in your case the only logical drive was the swap partition [18:57] crumpr, install network-manager-oprnvpn [18:58] err open === amin is now known as amflir [19:05] im thinking of custom my own ubuntu cd/usb with my preferences and programs on it so i just can install it on a computer so i dont need to install a lot of stuff before i can use it, and when im googling it it says if i want to make an install cd or a live cd, so my question is if i can custom my own ubuntu live cd and install from it? [19:06] Hi guys...I used to be able to copy from the VM host to Ubuntu 14 but I can't seem to do it with 15. I'm using VMware Workstation [19:07] anyone here use fail2ban? What exactly does the jail usedns setting do? [19:08] http://en.lichess.org/4v5CFVHL === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [19:13] BluesKaj, I've installed network-manager-oprnvpn but afaik it only helps me in adding openvpn connections interactively by clicking. or is there a scripting interface? [19:18] crumpr, yes , usually the vpn server has some sort of shell script you can download and run and install that integrates with network-manager-openvpn [19:26] czesc [19:26] czy ktos mial problem z tworzeniem startowego dysku USB pod ubuntu? [19:27] kiedy tworze taki dysk ale z innym systemem niz ubuntu to zrestartowaniu komputera pojawia sie blad CMD 32 [19:27] !cz [19:27] České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. [19:27] BluesKaj, yes the openvpn server generates me a .ovpn config file a certificate and a keyfile. but that key is password protected. so while configuring the openvpn-connection interactively I'm asked for a password - how to do that in a script?? [19:31] Is there a way currently to have a sync'd google drive folder on ubuntu? I couldn't find anything that currently works. [19:32] if not, is there an alternative that you would recommend? i keep some databases sync'd across multiple machines using gdrive [19:32] Hi guys, still got same probleme here since 15.04 updates I've got random shutdown on my laptop even going back to 14.04. Temperatures are ok, It was running for the last 3 days non stop without problem but had to reboot and now doing it again.

[19:33] crumpr, your vpn service should suppl;y you with a username and pw for their connection which you then add to their config file or to network manager depending how it's setup [19:34] OerHeks THIS PROJECT IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED DUE TO GOOGLE DRIVE API CHANGES etc [19:34] any admin or manager here? [19:34] mekhami, oh, that is bad, then i have no idea. [19:34] jiri_: volunteers only pretty much. what are you after? [19:34] ok, got it. I don't have to add the password by script. if i add a file manually to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ then I get asked for the password by the keymanager [19:35] Ubuntu running real slow in latest VirtualBox. :( [19:36] how much ram given to it PlasmaStar [19:36] 768 [19:36] hey, i installed nvidia-331 and nvidia-prime and now the x session suddenly freezes, completely unresponsive. if i switch to tty1 and then come back to tty7 it unfreezes and is responsive again [19:36] thats why [19:36] dafty ...help my pls [19:36] What do you recommend?

[19:42] I could almost consider it garbage now. [19:43] PlasmaStar, try something lighter no going back [19:43] whallz, i just know there are difficulties with the intel and nvidia dual gpu system, you're actually lucky you have a workaround [19:43] It's being a bit more responsive now that I've given it slighter more RAM/VRAM. [19:43] But resolution is stuck at 648x480 [19:44] i doubt that [19:44] Hello [19:44] hi can i help u [19:45] PlasmaStar try lxde or xfce for low specs [19:45] PlasmaStar: it's fine if you're sensible enough not to try and install the standard unity based one. pick a lighter weight DE and it still is good [19:45] bazhang: gmake is not part of build-essential!! any idea?! === awakecodh is now known as awakecoding [19:45] There isn't much of a choice on the website daftykins :( [19:45] "the website" [19:45] PlasmaStar unity is idd quite resource consuming, i never use it for my virtual machines [19:46] PlasmaStar, the repos have many many choices === tanuki_ is now known as tanuki [19:46] PlasmaStar: there is if you pick xubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu MATE... which all have their own sites.

[19:54] what is apt-file ? [19:55] you can search which package has that file [19:55] oh cant i figure out via web search? :D [19:55] apt-file search /usr/bin/ [19:55] there's ubottu too [19:55] !find udisksctl [19:56] File udisksctl found in udisks2, udisks2-doc [19:56] sal === colin_ is now known as cotalinux [19:56] !fr [19:56] Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[19:58] dpkg -S /usr/bin/gmake [19:58] bc a tools calls gmake [19:58] and i dont have it installed [19:58] genii: that only searches installed ones though right? [19:58] Hm, yep [19:58] You could search packages.ubuntu.com [19:58] geri: when i type gmake i get no package suggestions [19:59] hmmm [19:59] which guide are you following? [19:59] question: is somebody using awesomeWm? [19:59] EriC__: http://pavel-demin.github.io/red-pitaya-notes/led-blinker/ [20:00] EriC__: [20:00] geri: it doesn't say gmake anywhere does it? [20:01] it calls it internally [20:01] oh [20:02] EriC__: i try to install all packages which are listed here [20:04] geri: do you have bash-completion installed? [20:04] EriC__: no is it listed on this page? [20:04] what is bash-completion? [20:04] it's listed in the ubuntu site [20:05] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=gmake&mode=&suite=vivid&arch=any [20:05] where? [20:05] i cant find it here: http://pavel-demin.github.io/red-pitaya-notes/led-blinker/ [20:05] are you sure you don't have bash-completion installed? [20:06] how can i revert to nouveu? i installed nvidia-331 and nvidia-prime, i have an acer laptop with dual gpu (geforce 820M and intel) [20:06] EriC__: i donst remember doing any: sudo apt-get install bash-completion [20:07] is thats what you mean [20:07] type apt-cache policy bash-completion [20:07] should i purge those nvidia packages and just install nouveau-firmware? [20:07] bash-completion is installed by default [20:07] yeah, it is [20:08] Annoyingly it also forces itself upon users [20:09] EriC__: http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [20:09] geri: did you install the vivado suite thing? [20:09] yes [20:09] EriC__: http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [20:09] geirha: while i'm not a fan of bloat, i certainly don't consider bash-completion to be included in that... YMMV [20:09] Will Ubuntu 15.04 get Linux 4.x ? or will that be off till 15.10? [20:09] geri: can you paste the error you get about gmake? [20:10] zykotick9: I'm unfamiliar with the abbreviation "YMMV" [20:10] ok [20:10] mom rebuilding [20:10] geirha: sorry, Your Milage May Vary (meaning you may have different results) [20:11] BluesKaj: well... it's not actually a workaround :) [20:11] EriC__: check: http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [20:12] Hi! so, one question: I like to scroll around, and the touchpad has the momentum enabled. annoying thing is when I am scrolling and then want to hit a keyboard shortcut, i hold down control, but if I was previously scrolling, it zooms the page because of the momentum. Any workarounds? [20:12] zykotick9: It used to be bloated; taking seconds to start a new terminal, however once it started loading completions on demand, it stopped being bloated [20:12] zykotick9: I dislike it for its bad shell code; using $(ls) to iterate files and anti-patterns like that. And as a regular user, you can't opt out of it. [20:13] whallz, bummer...sorry i don't know enough about the latest fixes available , if there are any [20:13] geri: try to copy it to your path to see if it works [20:13] it's located in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gmake [20:14] geri: either check which variable it's using as the path, maybe $PATH, or you could do a workaround and run ln -s /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gmake /usr/bin/gmake [20:15] geri: try to copy it to your path to see if it works ??? copy what? [20:16] copy /usr/share/bash-completion/completions [20:16] hey guys... the uuid for my / partition changed due to an accidental unplug.. the solution i came across involves specifying the new uuid in /boot/grub/grub.cfg will that automatically get written into the mbr on reboot or will i still have to run update-grub? [20:16] geri: try PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/bash-completion/completions [20:16] #catalyst [20:17] then run it again [20:17] FiReSTaRT: you need to run sudo update-grub, and the mbr won't be touched btw [20:18] EriC__: so i'd correct the uuid in /boot/grub/grub.cfg and then run update grub and that should fix the grub error? [20:18] FiReSTaRT: Wht do you mean by "changed due to an accidental unplug"? [20:19] FiReSTaRT: you don't need to edit grub.cfg , update-grub will make the file for you [20:19] * zykotick9 has never heard of UUIDs changing before... [20:20] i wonder if that partition is healthy now. [20:20] FiReSTaRT: Just unplugging a drive without umounting it first can do some bad things, but I wouldn't ever expect it to change the fileystem's UUID. I highly suspect that you're misinterpreting your current situation. [20:20] EriC__: the problem is that it didn't.. i accidentally unplugged the drive with the / partition and turned on the machine.. after i reconnected it, i got a grub error basically telling me it can't boot off whatever the uuid there used to be.. i can still boot off that partition if i select it from the BIOS boot menu [20:20] Hey [20:20] Hey all. When I log in, my screen immediately goes black, only to attempt to ficker back on in ~5 seconds, and then go back again (rinse and repeat). Any tips on how to debug and fix? I've attempted a lot in the past, from re-configuring compiz to defaults to re-installing my graphics drivers to re-installing unity [20:21] FiReSTaRT: what do you mean by the bios boot menu? [20:21] FiReSTaRT: What is the exact error message you see when you try to boot normally? [20:21] Q: Installed a Canon MG series printer scanner. Seen a few posts about how to use the scanner and requires the command line, scangearmp. I wonder if I can create shortcut on the desktop or something ? [20:21] EriC__: pressing F8 during boot an selecting that particular drive [20:21] do you have another hdd? [20:21] Jordan_U: i'd have to reboot this machine to get the msg.. been suspending it over the last couple of weeks [20:21] jarlopez: "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" and verify it's owned by your user and NOT root. [20:22] whallz: What release are you running ? Nvidia recommnes the 346 version for the driver . [20:22] FiReSTaRT: Before you do that then, please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it produces. [20:22] !bootinfo | FiReSTaRT [20:22] FiReSTaRT: Boot info script is a useful script for diagnosing boot problems. Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [20:22] zykotick9: Yeah, .Xauthority is owned by me [20:22] EriC__: ok lets try again :D [20:22] jarlopez: ok, good luck... i got nothin' more to suggest [20:22] EriC__: yes.... that one i took out to travel with it since my desktop machine was flying in checked baggage and i didn't want the hdd with my /home partition unattended [20:22] FiReSTaRT: do you have another hdd? [20:22] zykotick9: Thanks either way [20:23] FiReSTaRT: ok, so it has only one hdd right now? [20:23] or 2 are plugged in? [20:23] EriC__: i put both in [20:23] ok, i think you're booting the other one, select the order in the bios to boot the other by default [20:23] i'm at my destination.. so i put in the hdd that was out but accidentally unplugged the one that had my system/apps/swap [20:24] EriC__: already did that... the ssd is at the top of the list.. i never even changed that, but i verified that first [20:25] are you using legacy or uefi? [20:25] and i can boot off the ssd but i have to manually select it by pressing f8 [20:25] iirc i changed it to legacy right off the bat [20:25] check that it's legacy [20:26] ok.. i'll do a reboot, check if its legacy and also confirm the error message [20:26] will need a piece of paper... bbiab :) [20:26] FiReSTaRT: It's most likely that your /home/ drive contains a proper grub installation, and our drive with your root contains an old grub-installation from a previous installation which had a different UUID. [20:26] hey guys, did something change in 15.04 that makes things that you install with pip not go to some place on my PATH ? [20:27] EriC__: when i call gmake with that path added to PATH i get ... gmake ... permission denied :D [20:27] whhyyy?? :D === john is now known as Guest30861 [20:29] EriC__: dont understand why that is set to root? does it make sense? http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [20:29] geri: i don't know, but i just checked and gmake on my pc is a symlink to make [20:29] EriC__: is your root owner too? [20:29] with centos/redhat you can do yum provides '*/lspci' to figure out what package has the lspci command. is there something like this on ubuntu? if so what [20:30] yes [20:30] EriC__: permession denied ... hm? [20:30] what should i do? [20:30] stacks88: dpkg -S if it's installed, apt-file search if it's not an installed package [20:30] wich is the best programs to tweak unity/gnome [20:31] apt-file thats what i was looking for then, thanks EriC__ [20:31] paakkari, unity-tweak-tool, or gnome-tweak-tool [20:31] any idea EriC__ ? [20:31] OerHeks , wich do u prefer [20:32] paakkari, try em both, and find out. === Arab_Aspie_ is now known as Arab_Aspie [20:32] looks like you guys are correct.. this is a bios mess.. for some reason the bios (legacy btw) is not letting me to allow to boot from it by default [20:32] geri: honestly i don't know, we could be on the wrong track here [20:32] geri: nevermind the whole bash-completion thing [20:33] FiReSTaRT: It's most likely that your /home/ drive contains a proper grub installation, and our drive with your root contains an old grub-installation from a previous installation which had a different UUID. [20:33] FiReSTaRT: I'm also still waiting for boot info script RESULTS.txt and an exact grub error message. [20:34] EriC__: can i change the link to user? [20:34] instead of root? [20:34] geri: nah leave it as it is [20:34] or call sudo make all :D [20:34] message: "error: no such device: [shows uuid and then the next line is the grub rescue prompt] [20:35] EriC__: i dont know how to fix it... permission denied seems not like a huge issue? [20:35] geri: i'm not sure that's the file you need [20:35] what can I do for fan control if "sensors" doesn't show any fans? [20:35] can you upload the makefile maybe we can see what it's looking for === harttho_ is now known as harttho [20:36] FiReSTaRT: are you in your ubuntu right now? [20:37] EriC__: yep [20:37] if i push f8 during boot, i get the boot menu, select the device and it boots up... but in bios i can't give it priority for some reason.. only showing the other hdd, the dvd and something else (don't know what lol) [20:37] FiReSTaRT: so the bios won't let you choose the ssd? [20:38] EriC__: not by default but will from the F8 menu.. so it looks like it's not an OS issue but a bios issue [20:38] FiReSTaRT: is the other hdd sdb? [20:39] i wonder if grub can boot from one hdd to another, like one hdd has grub and the other has the root fs [20:39] both are sda [20:39] oops [20:39] sorry [20:39] nope [20:39] the other is sdb [20:40] FiReSTaRT: i would have thought that if you can select the ssd from f8 you should be able to set it in the bios for boot priority too [20:40] auronandace: so would i.. might be some sort of an asus glitch [20:40] FiReSTaRT: can you type sudo blkid -p PTTYPE /dev/sdb [20:40] FiReSTaRT: what are the boot priority options? [20:41] error: PTTYPE: No such file or directory [20:41] /dev/sdb: PTTYPE="dos" [20:41] FiReSTaRT: ok, try sudo grub-install /dev/sdb [20:41] auronandace: the other hdd (magnetic), the dvd rw and not sure what the other option is but it's not the ssd [20:42] EriC__: all here: https://github.com/pavel-demin/red-pitaya-notes/blob/master/Makefile [20:42] Hi, since I've upgraded to 15.04 at boot Abiword opens when Unity has loaded, the page is empty, anyone an idea what might cause that? [20:42] FiReSTaRT: i'd check to see if they have released a bios update [20:42] EriC__: done... brb, rebooting :) [20:42] FiReSTaRT: ok, cool :) [20:51] thanks EriC__ [20:51] this worked [20:52] ok, now you're using the ssd to boot the hdd [20:52] i mean hdd to boot the ssd [20:52] yep [20:52] Hey all. When I log in, my screen immediately goes black, only to attempt to ficker back on in ~5 seconds, and then go back again (rinse and repeat). Any tips on how to debug and fix? I've attempted a lot in the past, from re-configuring compiz to defaults to re-installing my graphics drivers to re-installing unity [20:52] and that makes a good bandaid, so now all i gotta do is figure out why the bios is not seeing the ssd all of a sudden [20:52] thanks :) [20:52] FiReSTaRT: yeah, no problem :) [20:53] FiReSTaRT: maybe if you remove the cmos battery? [20:54] EriC__: that was the next step but don't wanna mess with that until i move into our flat [20:54] ok [20:57] living out of boxes and need this comp for work [21:00] FiReSTaRT: you could try removing the battery and holding the power button, it might work i guess [21:00] my wifi stops working when i use reisub to reboot and that fixes it [21:03] Does Anyone Know why i get an Invalid Clone Error when syncing my directory [21:05] Guys when i sync ubuntu touch dir it gives me Invalid Clone Error [21:05] Hey guys. I've got a system and i want to convert it to ubuntu. I've got 2 HDD's and want to put Ubuntu on the 2nd drive, and then take my main drive out, so i've only got the 1 drive left. [21:05] I've not got a CD drive, only a 32MB usb stick [21:05] sadly cannot go out and get a bigger flash drive atm. [21:05] 32MB? [21:05] yeh [21:06] its like 300000 years old [21:06] lol [21:06] buy a 8gb stick [21:06] ok, what's on the main drive? [21:06] Windows that im using atm [21:06] i need to keep that drive intact [21:07] as if i dont get along with ubuntu, i can just plug it back in [21:07] ok, you can try the netinstall [21:07] !netinstall [21:07] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:08] hi guys. how much sympathy will I get for what seems to be Xorg/kernel issues with i915 under 14.04.2, should I bother to fill out a bug report or just update to 15.04 before testing/reporting? [21:08] the drive is 500gb, however just a small flash drive thats all [21:08] i would like to make a file.service (powertop.service to be precise) as systemd... to be started at boot [21:08] seemed to start happening in the last week or two after an update, there have been a strong of kernel & xorg updates [21:08] wehre should i place it? [21:08] Only the 32 bit lts 14.04 will fit on a 32 mb stick [21:08] mb? [21:08] yes [21:08] lol [21:08] nothing will fit on that [21:08] guess MB isnt used a lot anymore [21:09] bazhang, mini iso does. [21:09] OerHeks, the mini was 60 or so I thought [21:09] !find minimal [21:09] Found: cm-super-minimal, libpython2.7-minimal, libpython3.4-minimal, libtcmalloc-minimal4, libtcmalloc-minimal4-dbg, python-minimal, python2.7-minimal, python3-minimal, python3.4-minimal, ubuntu-minimal (and 8 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=minimal&searchon=names&suite=vivid§ion=all [21:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [21:10] I must be thinking of the gparted iso [21:10] Fodd: if you have another pc you can use a netinstall [21:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot [21:10] thanks OerHeks [21:11] cant i just download it online? [21:11] or how about put the ISO on the 2nd drive [21:11] boot from a usb drive [21:11] then load the ISO? [21:11] or is that too big for the usb drive? [21:12] Fodd: the problem is that you don't have another linux os, or else you could boot it with grub, that's why i asked what's on the other one [21:12] just dig some change outta the couch and get a usb stick bro [21:12] there liek $4 [21:12] lol i can afford one [21:12] just that everything is shut atm [21:12] its 22:12 here [21:12] ooh [21:12] and i dont wanna let it defeat me :) [21:12] Fodd: you could install 12.04 64bit it's 27mb and then sudo do-release-upgrade to 14.04 [21:13] yeh sounds good [21:13] if you are really keen on installing tonight [21:13] i gotcha [21:13] how can i do that? [21:13] also, if i do the update, [21:13] will that install the GUI also? [21:13] as i'm shit in terminal lol [21:13] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso , checksum it after you download it [21:14] you have a 64bit machine right? [21:14] Nah [21:14] Q6600 [21:14] you dont? [21:14] nope, 4+ year old Dell [21:14] i need to dig in my sofa lol [21:14] ok, download 14.04 then and install it's 31mb [21:14] okay [21:14] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [21:15] how would i install it? [21:15] that's the link ^ after it downloads checksum it [21:15] !checksum > Fodd [21:15] Fodd, please see my private message [21:15] thank you [21:16] what software would you use to put the ISO onto USB? [21:16] use lili [21:16] Fodd: Can you be connected to the internet via ethernet while installing? [21:16] i've got ISO to USB - tried grub, however that didnt work [21:16] I've got ethernet cable [21:16] linux live usb creator [21:16] thank you [21:17] Ciao All :) [21:17] do i need to partition the drive? [21:17] or will the mini install do that? [21:18] Hi :) [21:19] Fodd: i dont know [21:19] Fodd: The installer will allow you to repartition. [21:19] okay [21:19] with that Linux Live USB Creator, i use my internal drive [21:19] oh, right, thought you meant if it partitioned automatically [21:19] Fodd: Note that the minimal installer is a little bit harder to use than the normall Ubuntu installer, and about 50 times uglier :) [21:20] Ok I'm in a world of shit [21:20] dont care about ugly :) [21:20] Fodd: just drink a lot of beer first [21:21] lol [21:21] I can do beer :) [21:21] i did have a 4gb drive around here somewhere [21:21] however cannot find it [21:21] i've got an old Galaxy S3, if you can boot from that? [21:21] sa pizza [21:22] PIZZA TIME FOREER [21:22] mini install is fine, if you have a decent connection i think it would be pretty good [21:22] s/FOREER/forever [21:22] its a 152mb connection [21:22] no big deal then [21:23] is /opt/ usually reserved for root? [21:23] geri: it's supposed to be for optional stuff [21:23] writing the USB [21:23] EriC__: i installed vivado with root permission [21:24] and later on i changed it from root to user using chown [21:24] is that an issue? [21:24] geri: /opt/ is for installing System wide software from outside the default repositories / package manager. [21:24] all located in /opt/ [21:24] and later on i changed it from root to user using chown [21:24] geri: maybe you have to tell it where vivado is [21:24] linux key is ready :) [21:24] wish me luck [21:24] i'll be back soon guys [21:24] thank you for all your help :) [21:25] Jordan_U: i installed vivado to /opt/xillinx/vivado for root user ... later i changed to to user ... using chown... is that allowed? [21:25] geri: You should *not* make /opt/ owned by a non-root user. If you want to install software as your user, keep it in /home/you/. What is your end goal? What are you trying to install/use/do? [21:25] vivado suggested this default path to be to /opt [21:25] geri: Why did you want to change the owner? [21:26] Jordan_U: bc i dont want to always start the vivado with root permission [21:27] geri: You don't need to be root to run an executable owned by root. 99% of your executable files are owned by root, but have permissions such that they can be read and executed (but *not* written to) by any user. [21:28] Jordan_U: i understand you... but to allowed to install to /opt i need to have root permission [21:29] geri: Yes. Why do you have a problem with that? [21:29] Jordan_U: i dont like to use sudo to start vivado [21:29] Jordan_U: whats why i changed to permission for Vivado to a user permission [21:30] Jordan_U: http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [21:30] the question was if thats allowed ? [21:30] chown -R ... [21:31] geri: I just told you that you do *NOT* need to run Vivado as root just because Vivado's files are owned by root. If anything, you should be use chmod to make the files world readable (and executable, for the executable files only). [21:31] Jordan_U: it didnt let me install to /opt without beeing sudo [21:32] geri, read carefull: install <> run [21:32] geri: Installing software and running it are two very different things. [21:33] geri: You *do* need to be root to install software to /opt/. That is normal, and should stay that way. You do *not* need to be root to run such software from /opt/. If you're getting errors running Vivado as non-root, the correct tool to fix it is "chmod", *not* chown. [21:34] maybe read some vivado manual what to do after install > http://svenand.blogdrive.com/archive/167.html#.VVEf9ie1FBc [21:34] geri: So to be completely clear, no you should *not* have any files in /opt/ that are owned by any user other than root. [21:34] ok [21:34] geri: You also should probably not be running vivado as root. Those two statements are not incompatible. [21:35] i dont run it as root now === greyback__ is now known as greyback [21:35] but can i run it as a user when the permission is root? [21:36] geri: Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I have said yes to this many times already. [21:36] ok [21:37] geri: Change the owner for all files in /opt/ back to "root" and if you get an error message when running vivado as your user, please pastebin the error message and we will help you fix things properly. [21:37] ok [21:40] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11085373/ [21:40] [repeating since I think it was lost in the conversation flow when I asked before] hi guys. how much sympathy will I get for what seems to be Xorg/kernel issues with i915 under 14.04.2, should I bother to fill out a bug report or just update to 15.04 before testing/reporting? [21:42] seemed to start happening in the last week or two after an update, there have been a strong of kernel & xorg updates [21:42] brian_b: 14.04 is a LTS release, we support it for 5 years. Please report your bug [21:43] brian_b: what issues? [21:43] Jordan_U: wait a sec [21:43] geri: Please pastebin the output of "ls -l -R /home/redpitaya/.Xilinx/". [21:44] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11085405/ [21:44] thats now correct [21:44] i add those [21:47] Jordan_U: http://ideone.com/RYbdqJ [21:47] Jordan_U: all here now [21:48] geri: So the problem appears to actually be caused by the fact that when you ran (not installed, ran) vivado as root previously (which you shouldn't have ever done) it made some directories in your $HOME that were then owned by root. So the proper fix is probably to "chown -r redpitaya:redpitaya /home/redpitaya/.Xilinx/", though there might be other things that also need fixing. [21:48] Jordan_U: and the opt? [21:49] geri: Should stay exactly how it is, at least as far as that error message is concerned. If after fixing this we get another error message it might imply that something in /opt/ needs to be changed also. [21:50] geri: Files in /home/you/ should generally be owned by you. Files in /opt/ should be owned by root. === kalen is now known as kalen_not-here [21:50] ok ... i installed vivado via sudo ./installfile ... [21:51] geri: That's perfectly fine (aside from the fact that .deb files are preffered where available). [21:51] ok...it seems its better now... let me run it to the end === kalen_not-here is now known as kalen === Biz is now known as Guest2829 [22:01] Jordan_U: the make file calls somewhere qmake with is a symlink: ls -la /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gmake lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 May 5 07:52 /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/gmake -> make [22:01] i mapped this to PATH but get an permission error :) any idea? [22:01] k1l_: Upon resume or attaching an external monitor, desktop frequently becomes inaccessible [22:01] as if compiz had crashed, but kill/restarting it from console doesn't help [22:01] only full reboot seems to bring it back [22:02] unity --reset appears deprecated, which was something I tried from googling around [22:04] does the printer configuration utility needs to connect to a cups server via tcp socket or unix type socket? === kalen is now known as kalen_not-here [22:08] hi, i'm trying to listen in on acpi events, but i get nothing using acpi_listen [22:08] anyone know what's up with nvidia-331 and whether or not it's gonna get fixed or if i should just look for a different driver... [22:10] mekhami: whats the issue? [22:11] i need some help im on a livecd right now because my ubuntu install does not allow me to login the login screen shows up then after i type in my password it shows a black screen then goes back to the login page [22:11] cryptodan, i just get bug report spam [22:11] Aramil: Proprietary graphics driver that was in use, and now an update has broken it ? [22:11] bug report spam? mekhami can you elaborate? [22:12] Aramil, sounds like an issue starting X, video drivers? [22:13] well i did just move my backup of my /home to a different partition then changed fstab to use it [22:13] Aramil: (Please tell me you used UUIDs in /etc/fstab ?) [22:14] cryptodan, not really. 'system has encountered a problem' and it's always related to nvidia-331. [22:14] the problem's been reported to them a hudnred million times based on the bug page. [22:14] mekhami: maybe its time to replace the video card [22:14] yes i did [22:14] mekhami: I have used the nvidia-331 driver and it was stable never crashed [22:14] It only crashed when my GTX 580 was failing === john is now known as Guest81400 [22:19] Hello... I have Ubuntu 14.04 and i have facing some glitches [22:20] For a month now, the shutdown option in the status bar decided to stop working [22:21] I was able to shutdown and restart by pressing the power button and selecting shutdown or restart..or simply use terminal [22:21] But just this evening, i found out that when i press the volume buttons on my laptop, nothing happens [22:21] Any help?? [22:24] I-am-Groot: maybe upgrading to 15.04 [22:26] hmmmm... i dont know Kion [22:26] I really enjoy using Ubuntu 14.04 [22:27] hi [22:30] hi [22:31] claude2: Hello, You have a ubuntu support request ? [22:33] Guys is there anyway i can fix my volume buttons without upgrading?? [22:35] has anyone had any issues with the ansible package in vivid ? [22:36] What is the best way to install the latest version of ubuntu on a windows xp computer? [22:39] hello [22:40] I-am-Groot: what did you change when they stopped working? [22:40] Kion: Nothing, it just happened [22:40] having a strange issue on ubuntu 14.04 running on lenovo yoga 2 (non pro) seems whenever i press the f6 button or rather switch off touchpad button, i get this symbol; ± popping up o.O anyone know of anyhitng of this sort happening ? i tried acpi_listen but it doesnt seem to return any vlaues [22:41] how do I access an encrypted home partition in windows 7? [22:42] fotografisto: you cant. [22:42] I-am-Groot: Sorry, I wish I could help but I dont know more [22:42] hi === joao is now known as Mete- [22:43] what's the officious way to get less not to care whether a file is compressed or not? [22:43] Thanks Kion [22:44] I-am-Groot: I would try and filter my syslog file for errors, that might give you a clue of what's going on [22:44] TechChristoph: older Windows XP may have some depends . How good is that hardware by todays standards will dictate what it can support . [22:45] Thanks again Kion [22:45] Will do [22:48] how often does ubuntu apply updates for things like iftop from universe ? [22:49] mmercer, when nessasary? [22:49] OerHeks: then id argue its WAY behind, given that from a network admin perspective, pre3 from last year adds a critical request feature ( text output mode ) [22:49] XD [22:50] Hi, does anybody know how I configure ISC dhcpd to send responses only via a specific address? I'm running it on a box with multiple IP addresses and (for monitoring purposes) I want all responses to come FROM $IP_FOO (rather than $IP_BAR or $IP_BAZ)? [22:51] alephant: aliases on the same interface, or separate interfaces ? [22:51] Aliases on the same interface, unfortunately :-/ [22:51] hmmm, checking, dont remember if thats possible or not [22:51] mmercer: I know it's easy to do if I've got separate interfaces [22:51] * mmercer nods [22:52] mmercer: unfortunately the manpage is voluminous [22:53] hello everyone, does anyone use nevernote here? [22:53] okwex: is that a typo for Evernote? [22:53] alephant: hmmm... wait... thinking about it.... your dhcp server should be bound to one of those ip addresses, not to all of them, it should be based on the pool/router definition [22:54] alephant, there exists nevernote, or, more precisely, nixnote [22:54] are you seeing it respond based on any of the ip addresses ( assuming due to aliasing ) [22:54] https://launchpad.net/~vincent-c/+archive/ubuntu/nevernote [22:54] Not sure whether it's all addresses, I've only seen it be not the one I want. [22:55] okwex: Then, no :-) [22:56] Does anyone know if you can design your own alerts in Landscape? [22:56] or maybe I can tell the problem and maybe it relates to other programs with similar situations sometimes..all of a sudden the text field is disabled. that is, I cannot paste or type in. what could I try to change this= [22:56] ? [22:57] mmercer: standby, just noticed there's both /etc/dhcp{,3} and I'm not sure which I'm using... garbage-collecting... [22:57] hello [22:58] Hey, anyone here good with debian packaging? I've got a newbie question about how to build a package from source [22:59] guys,i know this is offtopic... but i need to say this... [23:00] why is it so freaking hard to get a free code unlock tool these days? [23:00] God damn! [23:00] Can somebody point me to some documentation of when/how the s/eth0/p2p1/ change happened??? [23:00] and i'm searching for a cheap alcatel phone ffs [23:00] Ev0luti0n_, hahahaha .. this is not offtopic, join #ubuntu-offtopic [23:01] Ev0luti0n_, and swearing is against channel rules, so please don't. [23:01] mmercer: Sorry, I just hosed the irc window. Could you please up-arrow your comment about pools? [23:01] Hello there. [23:02] : [23:02] :| [23:02] did #ubuntu-beginners redirect me here? [23:02] kay, sorry [23:03] does anyone use i3? [23:03] or are you married to unity? [23:04] oh boy...lotsa traffic on here [23:05] alephant: your responses should be based on the router definition in the pool, is it sending the responses on multiple source addresses because of the aliasing ? [23:05] alephant: the channel is logged, so you can read here (just FYI): http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/05/11/%23ubuntu.html [23:05] yeats: nice, thanks. Why isn't that in the /info? [23:05] if so, that seems like a bug, as thats basically running duplicate dhcp servers (in a very unusual manner) on the same subnet topology [23:06] yeats: (or whatever the channel message is called) [23:07] #join ##c [23:07] so... what if I want the OFFER to come from a different IP from the one given by the pool's router definition? [23:08] (I'm monitoring the dhcp.local service which is on a discrete IP from the router) [23:10] anyone know how to get rid of user activity in weechat terminal? [23:10] as in the log on/off stuff? [23:10] or maybe I can tell the problem and maybe it relates to other programs with similar situations sometimes..all of a sudden the text field is disabled. that is, I cannot paste or type in. what could I try to change this= [23:10] alephant: ... so your using dhcpd as a dhcp-relay service ? [23:11] i fail to understand why the offer would come from something other than the server unless youre doing dhcp-relay [23:12] I have one game open and one browser tab, why the HELL am I swapping to disk? i do not understand [23:12] mekhami: not nearly enough information to answer that question [23:12] i ddon't even know how to give you any more information than that [23:12] hi [23:12] i have 8gb ram there's no way i should be swapping to disk like this [23:12] mmercer: Server has two IPs $GW and $DHCP. I'd like to monitor DHCP as discrete from routing availability, so I want to monitor the availability of $DHCP. But dhcpd is sending responses from $GW (which is the value of the routers option in dhcpd.conf). Dig? [23:12] mekhami: configure vm.swapiness if you don't want to. [23:12] so quick question regarding upstart... what exactly is a sequence number, and what are the values supposed to denote? [23:13] alephant: ahhhh, gotcha [23:13] and now i'm just getting bug report spam again [23:13] this is a brand new install of ubuntu 14.04 [23:13] sorry, you had neglected to mention that you were doing routing on the box native too XD [23:13] mekhami: What does ' free ' relate about memory management ; what does ' top ' say ? [23:13] mmercer: Yes, I had a lot of implicit assumptions ;-) [23:14] single interface is handling both your lan and wan routes? [23:14] thats going to get complicated btw... lol [23:14] mmercer: No, multiple interfaces for both. [23:15] gotcha. anywho, give me a sec, i know there is a hidden "arg" somewhere, i just have to find the darn thing [23:15] mmercer: After warm-spare failover this morning, I want to avoid assuming that DHCP is on the same machine as routing. [23:15] mmercer: although it's late enough now that I might send SIGFUKKIT [23:15] alephant: hehe, but its sooo fun making assumptions when it comes to networking [23:16] only to find out that your assumption, while being common sense and completely logical.... is the *opposite* of what #vendor decided to do... [23:16] Insofar as networking is just statistical determinism, it's *all* assumptions! [23:16] Bashing-om, I'm running CS:GO and top shows CPU spiking at over 150% and memory around 20% === moros is now known as MOROS === MOROS is now known as moros-olethros [23:17] hello! [23:18] Bashing-om, its like this any time i play a valve game [23:18] mmercer: strike that, I was thinking of RF. [23:19] * alephant waves at the nice people [23:19] mekhami: you say clean install but do you keep the same /home ? [23:19] I need to upgrade my server from 10.04 to 14.04, what is the less painful way of doing so? [23:20] clean install [23:20] daftykins, i mean a total reformat on a new ssd [23:20] ok so preserving nothing, good good [23:20] I have users and configurations I don't want to break [23:20] odd you still get such quirks [23:20] Kage: right but you have to upgrade twice so it might go bad anyway [23:21] Kage: step 1 backup regardless, then do an upgrade to 12.04 [23:21] then see where you stand [23:21] so... do-release-upgrade? [23:21] yep [23:21] after a nice backup [23:22] daftykins, i dont' even know if its a ram problem, but i get regular system 'crashes' that don't seem to be crashes, a lot related to nvidia-331, and my framerate drops to <1 during games and stays that way [23:22] Kage: ^^ keep in mind a LOT has changed in 14.04 from 10.04 . A lot can break . [23:22] mekhami: so run memtest? [23:23] daftykins, idk what that is [23:23] !memtest [23:23] gah no factoid [23:23] mekhami: hold left shift at boot to get GRUB, then pick memtest [23:24] how long does this run.. [23:24] or boot a desktop ISO and run memtest from there [23:24] likely an hour for a single pass depending on system RAM amount [23:24] okay thanks [23:24] back in a bit [23:24] i'd do 2 passes minimum [23:24] more like a gigabit [23:25] EriC^^: hmm? [23:26] daftykins: nothing, it was a joke [23:26] be back in a bit .. [23:26] bleh [23:27] i can't get fglrx to work, trying fglrx-updates right now [23:27] EriC^^: which card? [23:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11086559/ [23:29] ah hybrid setup with a mobile, hmm === Rev_DE is now known as Rev_DE2 [23:29] ok, it installed, reboot time [23:29] what do you mean mobile? [23:29] should i be using fglrx? [23:29] it has an 'M' [23:29] i have amd graphics [23:29] ablest1980: i don't like it, it runs hotter, but i need the gpu for a bit [23:30] daftykins: ah [23:30] is it good for cs? [23:30] i guess [23:30] ill brb [23:30] ablest1980: what model is your card? [23:30] ok [23:31] daftykins: no such command as do-release-upgrade [23:31] Gallium 0.4 on AMD SUMO [23:31] AMD A4-3300M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics × 2 [23:32] i have two options for xglrx [23:32] which i choose [23:32] ablest1980: try the newer then [23:32] nope still says radeon [23:32] dang [23:32] EriC^^: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [23:33] one is xglrx the other xglrx updates [23:33] fglrx-updates used to work [23:33] ok [23:33] _f_glrx [23:33] fglrx then fglrx updates? [23:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11086614/ [23:33] ablest1980: *just* updates [23:33] ok === wook is now known as Guest74117 [23:34] i chose the other one [23:34] oops [23:34] EriC^^: module doesn't exist, lack of dkms perhaps? [23:34] ablest1980: wow. [23:34] it said it installed dkms and rebuilt stuff [23:34] i cancelled in time [23:34] EriC^^: hrmm maybe it did it for the wrong kernel? [23:34] ... [23:35] i missed alot, didn't i? [23:35] daftykins: i tried rebooting and reinstalling, let me check [23:35] moros-olethros: no idea what you're talking about. got a support question? [23:35] maybe xglrx then updates? [23:36] ablest1980: why do you keep typing xglrx? [23:36] sorry [23:36] ablest1980: you must be a troll since we both told you to install one thing and you're still asking. [23:36] im getting the updates one [23:36] OOOOK. Let's say I want to set up a server made up of nothing but Virtualbox virtual machines [23:36] sorry [23:36] how would i do that? [23:37] moros-olethros: look into virtualbox headless [23:37] but vbox would be the wrong tech to use for such a thing [23:37] I see... [23:37] what would be best, then? [23:37] something like vmware ESX or KVM [23:38] Alrighty [23:38] Thank you very much, my good sir/madame/whatever [23:39] we are legion [23:39] Thank you, legion [23:40] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 14.04, and there's a process "init" that has 100% cpu use.. and I found this solution, but it's from about 3 years ago: http://linuxbytknalla.blogspot.com/2012/12/init-process-at-100-cpu-usage.html [23:41] daftykins: any ideas? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11086705/ [23:41] also this warning comes up update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken [23:42] EriC^^: hrmm does Xorg.0.log still speak of no module found? [23:42] i'm trying sudo updatedb now to run locate [23:42] roger that [23:46] EriC^^: Maybe "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/ld.so.con " http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2276537 will work for you ? [23:47] Bashing-om: thanks, checking [23:48] daftykins: the module seems there i think /lib/modules/3.13.0-52-generic/updates/dkms/fglrx_updates.ko [23:48] EriC^^: Also ATI with FGLRX requires ' sudo amdconfig --initial ' prior to rebooting . [23:49] Bashing-om: it says no supported adapters found [23:49] i've used it before though and i didn't type that to get it working [23:49] it's still odd it says it doesn't find anything though.. [23:50] EriC^^: Yikes, that can no be a good thing ! We know the hardware is there . [23:50] maybe that range of M model isn't supported by that driver version? [23:50] Bashing-om: ok, i tried removing the alternative thing and reinstall fglrx-updates [23:50] can someone please help me im getting a login loop and i tried everything i could from a google search im thinking i might of f#@ked up my fstab [23:50] daftykins: i don't know, it's in the recommended drivers and it used to work [23:51] maybe with this kernel it doesnt work? [23:51] i dont know if it matters but i installed the driver from amd's website once and then removed it [23:52] hrmm did you use their uninstaller? [23:52] couldn't find it :D it's supposed to be in /usr/share/ati but it wasn't [23:52] i just purged it [23:53] and the pc wouldn't boot with the opensource one, as much as i tried to reinstall it etc. so i had to reinstall the amd one [23:53] until a dist-upgrade fixed stuff i think [23:53] after that i could use the open source one again [23:54] daftykins currently 50% through pass 1, it caught one error on test 4. is it common to have a few errors? [23:55] mekhami: no you shouldn't even have one [23:55] Hi, anyone with Ubuntu 14.04 and having the process "init" using 100% of your CPU ??? [23:56] can someone please help me im getting a login loop and i tried everything i could from a google search im thinking i might of f#@ked up my fstab [23:56] daftykins is there a repair action or is it just new ram time [23:56] mekhami: is this a desktop? [23:56] yep [23:56] mekhami: 2+ modules? === vance is now known as Guest4606 [23:56] 2 [23:57] newish machine? [23:57] not particularly [23:57] what i would do, is take both out - (with mains power removed) and clean the gold contacts on the modules with a pencil eraser. then clean the slots a bit with an old (but not dirty) toothbrush. after that, memtest each module separately by having just one in at a time in the first slot [23:58] that'll let you work out whether one is bad or both [23:58] Bashing-om: that did it! thanks! [23:58] ericr: Not to detract from your train of thought, but what does the repo offer for drivers ? ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' [23:58] sounds good daftykins thanks [23:58] EriC^^ Bashing-om - weird i thought all amdconfig did was spit out a xorg.conf with 'fglrx' forced as the choice? [23:59] mekhami: np [23:59] daftykins: i meant the update-alternatives command in the website Bashing-om gave me [23:59] ah i missed that one
