daftykinsi had vaguely remembered some alternatives thing breaking AMD and nvidia stuff, hrmm00:00
Bashing-omdaftykins: I am constantly amazed at what I do not know, not sure what all the 'config' affects or how . One of these days I might learn enough to "read the source" .00:00
daftykinsBashing-om: hehe :D00:01
daftykinsi think amdconfig --initial is akin to nvidia-xconfig which just writes a bare xorg.conf yeah00:01
daftykinsanyway, irrelevant now - task complete :D00:01
JFORDHello, I got a 9600GT and I have a problem with nvidia-340 drivers and ubuntu 15.04 -- x doesn't start..anyone may help me?00:02
Bashing-omdaftykins: :) agreed, if EriC^^ Is happy. we are all happy .00:02
EriC^^:D00:02

whytrytofly02:06:40 - whytrytofly: asthereis no .xinitrc00:07
NegativeFlarewhytrytofly: Let's not flood man xD00:07
daftykinsJFORD: yeah what's going on then?00:08
Kagedaftykins: ok... that didn't work00:08
daftykinsaaaand the guy left00:08
Kagedaftykins: everything broke, horribly00:08
daftykinsKage: going to 12.04 ?00:08
Kageyeah00:08
daftykinswhat did you run instead of do-release-upgrade ?00:08
KageI ran do-release-upgrade00:08
whytrytoflydoes anyone know how the wallpaper is set?00:09
KageI was missing the update-manager-core package00:09
kruxwhytrytofly: create a .xinitrc ? exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-scale /path/to/image00:09
KageI installed that, then did do-release-upgrade00:09
Kagedaftykins: it was... bad00:09
Kagedaftykins: my filesystem went readonly00:09
Kageand all other sorts of horrible things00:09
daftykinsthat sounds pretty bad00:10
daftykinsso - did you backup? :P00:10
Kageyeah00:10
KageI had to restore it00:10
daftykinsso is this thing a VM, or?00:10
Kageit is VM00:10
Bashing-omKage: daftykins So, ya want to try and fix, or just do the fresh install of 14.04 ?00:11
KageBashing-om: this server has like 6 services and 15 users00:11
Kageall configed and working correctly for the past 4 years00:11
mekhamidaftykins how likely is it that this ram issue is causing significant performance problems?00:11
daftykinsyeah but as Bashing-om wisely said, you won't have that working with an upgrade anyway00:11
daftykinsmekhami: practically guaranteed if it were more than just one in an entire pass00:12
mekhamidaftykins so far it's jus tone00:12
daftykinslet it go as far as two passes and it should flag up more00:12
daftykinshrmm00:12
daftykinsmekhami: is your system single-disk?00:12
daftykinser i mean does it use a mechanical disk for the OS?00:13
mekhamidaftykins just one SSD for everything00:13
daftykinsKage: what services do you run?00:13
daftykinsmekhami: which kind?00:13
mekhamidaftykins 512gb crucial00:13
daftykinsMX100?00:13
Kagedaftykins: apache, mailserver, mysql, sshd, and god knows what else00:13
Kagedaftykins: I think I got a gitlab service00:14
daftykinsKage: not much then. so apache changes hugely between 10.04 and 14.04, i did my own migration via a clean install a bit ago. you'd be better off building another up side by side then transition ASAP00:14
daftykinshonestly picking apart how to make the upgrade work smoothly is a far less sane use of time than just learning the new way things are done in Trusty00:14
=== sleepypc is now known as `hypermist`
mekhamidaftykins sounds about right but i can't find my order history hah00:15
mekhamiah wait i have the box00:15
mekhamiyeah it's MX10000:15
Kagedaftykins: that is going to take me days to do :(00:15
Kagedaftykins: have you ever configed mail server to use mysql?00:15
Kageit isn't pretty00:15
Kage:(00:15
daftykinsKage: i don't run my own mail 'cause i think it's not worth it 8D00:15
daftykinsmekhami: ah ok, same drive \o/ they've had no major fixes in firmware changes so far, so no issues on that side perhaps00:16
okwexhello there! does anyone know about nevernote? I cant type or paste into the text field, as if it is disabled00:16
=== al2o3-cr is now known as yoyoyoy
mekhamidaftykins i've always had a completely naive hunch that the river is the problem.00:16
Kagedaftykins: you think it'd make a difference if I did though a console instead of ssh?00:16
mekhamidaftykins but idk why that is.00:17
ReGiStRaSHi 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 Workstation00:17
=== yoyoyoy is now known as al2o3-cr
daftykinsmekhami: which driver?00:17
mekhaminvidia-33100:17
daftykinsKage: nah00:17
daftykinsmekhami: what's your nvidia card?00:17
mekhamidon't remember... it's in the 400s00:17
daftykinsmekhami: likely you have graphical related crashes because the graphics driver sometimes sits in the RAM where that bad spot is, which makes crashes kinda blame the driver00:18
daftykinsthis happens often in my experience when the RAM is iffy00:18
daftykinsthere's basically a boot lottery as to what will go wrong when00:18
daftykinsmekhami: of course, packages being installed on a system with bad RAM can copy corrupted and so be permanently bad00:19
daftykinsso there's that too00:19
daftykinsbut focus on the RAM idea first and get to the bottom of that before advancing ;)00:19
daftykinsKage: so is it a physical box or a VM?00:19
Kagedaftykins: VM00:20
daftykinsi really would just start from scratch00:21
daftykinsi write notes when i do my new LTS setups :)00:21
Kagedaftykins: I know this is bad... but I think I might just stick with 10.0400:21
daftykinsmany many changes in 14.04 apache alone00:21
ReGiStRaSHi 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 Workstation00:21
daftykinsKage: yeah you can't do that :)00:21
Kagedaftykins: who is going to stop me?00:22
daftykinsfuture Kage when your box gets pwned00:22
daftykinshonestly what you're describing i'd just set aside a weekend and get it done00:22
ReGiStRaSHi 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 Workstation00:23
daftykinsReGiStRaS: in what networking setup?00:23
daftykinsReGiStRaS: stop repeating.00:23
Kagedaftykins: honestly, I think installing java broke my system00:23
mekhamidaftykins looks like same error in the same spot on the second pass00:23
daftykinsugh java00:23
ReGiStRaScustom network00:23
KageI'm pretty sure the java packages are that which is blocking upgrades00:23
daftykinsmekhami: what point in MB does it say?00:23
daftykinsReGiStRaS: so not bridged, host only or NAT?00:23
mekhamidaftykins 7038.1mb00:23
ReGiStRaSnope00:24
ReGiStRaSthat should not matter anyway. it didn't in 1400:24
Kagedaftykins: if I go to 14.04... when will be the next time I have to do this?00:24
daftykinsReGiStRaS: well you have to help me understand your setup before i can tell what you're up to, so what does 'copy' mean? SCP? samba?00:24
daftykinsKage: 201900:24
daftykinsApril 30th00:24
ReGiStRaSjust normal copy and paste00:24
ReGiStRaSof text00:25
Kagedaftykins: maybe I should wait until 16.0400:25
ReGiStRaSor files00:25
daftykinsReGiStRaS: ah so perhaps you don't have the full vmware tools set on00:25
ReGiStRaSI didn't have to install VMware tools in 1400:25
Kagewhy do they expire LTS on a year with no LTS to take it over :(00:25
daftykinsKage: i wouldn't recommend it because that'll be new and untested by then, whereas 14.04 is already nice and comfy00:25
ReGiStRaSand I sear to god i didn't00:25
daftykinsKage: wat, you're on 10.04 in 2015 - we've had 12.04 and 14.04 since00:26
daftykinsReGiStRaS: that doesn't matter, you are where you are00:26
daftykinsso if you insist on running 15.04 then get cracking :)00:26
* Kage cries00:26
ReGiStRaSand why is 15 different this time?00:26
daftykinsno idea.00:26
daftykinsi can't say i've ever expected clipboard sharing to work with vmware VMs00:26
Kagedaftykins: 10.04 is still supported... just no more updates because everything is all stable and perfect now00:27
ReGiStRaSand btw, it is not possible to install VMware tools in Ubuntu00:27
* Kage rocks back and forth in the corner00:27
daftykinsKage: nope, it died on April 30th00:27
daftykinsit is EOL00:28
ReGiStRaSand I swaer to god on that00:28
Kagenope... nope... it is fine, everything is fine00:28
daftykinsKage: i'd prefer if you're going to lie to yourself you do it internally :)00:28
daftykinsbut mark my words, you are making a colossal mistake00:28
daftykinsReGiStRaS: it is00:29
mekhamidaftykins hm now i'm up to 5 errors but it doesn't show them in the list... now 6 errors... i assume this means they're all at the same location?00:29
daftykins(possible)00:29
daftykinsmekhami: could well be00:29
daftykinsmekhami: do you have 2 x 4GB?00:29
mekhamidaftykins yep00:29
daftykinsmekhami: ok so if you were looking at your motherboard, your second module (so in the later RAM slot) is going funny, i'd power off now and memtest with just the first one in00:30
daftykinsthat should complete fine00:30
daftykinsbut you can also do as i mentioned earlier00:30
ReGiStRaSthe optiion is greyed out00:30
daftykinsReGiStRaS: there are many ways other than the console menu item00:32
daftykinsgo look it up00:32
designbybeckUbuntu 14.04...My Audio is now dead! I was playing in Steam... I had sound, then I exited now I don't have sound or a sound icon on the header bar. Rebooted, nope. Shutdown and started back up, nope. I did hear the sstart up sound on the login screen00:32
designbybeckBut now I have no sound!00:32
daftykinsdesignbybeck: test the guest session00:33
designbybeckok....brb00:33
Kagedaftykins: hey... buddy.... are you doing anything this weekend?00:33
daftykinslol.00:33
daftykinsKage: there are always volunteers here, if you setup another VM and clean install 14.04 you can start duplicating your setup - then just change IP / redirect port forwards when done00:34
daftykinssimples.00:34
designbybeckdaftykins, I went to guest session, and my audio worked00:34
daftykinsi was in the same boat00:34
designbybeckwhy me no have audio and guest does! Guest aint welcome here!00:34
KageI wonder if I can convince chronical to instate 10.04 support00:34
MuntHey folks, my Ubuntu 14.04 keeps asking me for a keyring unlock … but it says my password (the only one i’ve used this installation) is incorrect … any ideas why ?00:35
daftykinsdesignbybeck: cool. something in your ~/.config is causing issues, someone more knowledgable would be able to say specifically, but i would just rename ~/.config to ~/.configold and i'd bet it comes back00:35
designbybeckok let me try that00:35
kostkondesignbybeck, just delete the folder ~/.config/pulse then logout and log back in00:35
daftykinsah there you go ^00:35
daftykinskostkon: ^5!00:35
designbybeckoops I already renammed the .config00:36
daftykinsdesignbybeck: just rename it back00:36
daftykinsall will be well00:36
daftykinsKage: maybe with money...00:36
daftykinsand cake00:36
daftykinsmmmm cake00:36
codephobichi00:36
daftykinsah a UK user, hi00:36
Kagedaftykins: this is going to take so much time00:36
KageRIP weekend00:37
Kage:(00:37
designbybeckbrb00:37
mekhamidaftykins interestingly i took out the stick farthest from the CPU and now my monitors aren't turning on.00:37
Kagedaftykins: can I even migrate users without breaking their passwordS?00:37
daftykinsmekhami: winner - best do the cleanup i mentioned. you did remove mains whilst performing surgery, yeah?00:37
daftykinsKage: i'm not experienced enough with user management for that one i'm afraid00:38
codephobicI accidentally deleted an ext4 volume from a hard drive, then misused parted and screwed it up even more by writing to the partition table. Is there any way I can repair the damage and reclaim the lost files?00:38
Kagedaftykins: maybe copying /etc/users and /etc/shadow will be enough00:38
mekhamidaftykins i don't even know what removing mains means.00:38
daftykinscodephobic: booting a live session and playing with testdisk might work00:38
daftykinsmekhami: er i don't know where in the world you are but - outlet power? for 'muricanese00:39
daftykinsthe electricity!00:39
mekhamihah daftykins  yes, it was unplugged.00:39
Kagehttp://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-move-migrate-user-accounts-old-to-new-server/00:39
daftykinsgood stuff00:39
Kageok, it doesn't look too hard00:39
Kageoh, and moving databases... will be painful00:40
Kage:(00:40
Kagedaftykins: just murder me00:40
Kagekill me dead00:40
designbybeckok daftykins I removed pulse and restarted...I have audio now, but not sound icon at the top bar00:40
Kage*sigh*00:40
daftykinsKage: nah databases is easy peasy00:40
Bashing-omcodephobic: testdisk is the standard; but see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery .00:40
designbybeck...but this is enough for me to enjoy editing design work to now that I have music...I'll go with this for now! ;) thank you daftykins00:40
codephobicdaftykins, I tried but my CD didn't have testdisk on it and instead I ended up installing ubuntu on the very disk that I was looking to repair. I've still got volumes that I haven't overwritten with the new install of ubuntu, so I'm running TestDisk right now (it's analysed 73% of the disk, so far), but I'm wondering if this will work at all.00:41
daftykinsdesignbybeck: np! also ^5 kostkon for the more accurate answer00:41
Kagemaybe Ill take this chance to move to managed mail service00:41
daftykinscodephobic: yeah you boot the live session, then install testdisk via apt-get00:41
mekhamidaftykins what arrangement is the ram supposed to be in again?00:42
mekhamiassuming it's (CPU) AB AB00:42
mekhamiit's AA or AB00:42
daftykinscodephobic: ideally you would image up the disk as-is to a backup driver before any attempts, if you have a spare hard disk big enough00:42
codephobicdaftykins, I couldn't get my live version to apt-get install anything.00:42
ReGiStRaSdaftykins: I have googled ab out Install VMware tolls greyed out but nothing00:42
ReGiStRaSnothing much came up00:42
ReGiStRaSso don't say I didn't look it up00:42
daftykinsmekhami: it's different per motherboard really so i can't be 100% - ultimately two are one channel (A perhaps) and two are channel B - so you need one module in each00:42
daftykinscodephobic: perhaps you weren't online00:43
kostkondesignbybeck, try to setup your audio again in sound settings, also you could try reinstalling indicator-sound, logout and log back in (again)00:43
daftykinsKage: google apps ftw00:43
designbybeckkostkon, I'm in to deep already!...it will have to wait00:44
mekhamidaftykins would it help to know it's an ASUS mobo?00:44
codephobicdaftykins, I was online reading the link that Bashing-om provided - found it whilst googling for a solution00:44
* designbybeck awesome music play, glass of wine, editing a beautiful ladies photos.....good evening! ;)00:44
kostkondesignbybeck, ok!00:44
galrashello00:44
designbybeckthanks though kostkon, I'll check that out next time I reboot00:44
kostkondesignbybeck, np00:45
codephobicI'm really annoyed at how stupidly I compounded my problem. First accidentally deleting a volume, then half arsed use of parted to write the partition table, without checking I'd found the correct volumes, ending up with the whole drive being inaccessible.00:45
daftykinsmekhami: well, ultimately one is wonky. so just test one in the slot closest to the CPU socket, then the other00:45
boaso i got a weird question, but i had ubuntu set up with lvm with jbod. i had to reinstall ubuntu, and am unsure how to have the pre existing lvm volumes mounted00:46
Bashing-omcodephobic: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15761/recover-data-like-a-forensics-expert-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/ <- written in a user-friendly way and introduces you to testdisk in a gentle way ; http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step ; http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Menu_Analyse . Good luck ( work hard ) .00:46
mekhamidaftykins my monitors aren't turning on anymore :( this is frustrating00:47
daftykinsmekhami: with the RAM in what config?00:47
codephobicBashing-om, thanks but I'm going to need to download and burn another live disc, it seems. My current one (ubuntu 14.04), won't let me install software, when using it as a LiveCD.00:47
mekhamione stick in A by itself, and then also in AA00:47
mekhamibut i had it in AB before so I should try that i suppose00:47
mekhamiAA would be same-channel00:48
daftykinsmekhami: go with just one for now and use the CMOS reset jumper which you'll find near the battery, do you know how to do a CMOS reset?00:48
mekhamisame color slot00:48
mekhamidaftykins negative00:48
Bashing-omcodephobic: ?/ of course it will .. just can not save it ( DVD) . IF USB one can set "persistenece" .00:49
daftykinsok a CMOS reset jumper is a small metallic and plastic thing bridging two pins out of 3, so | | | looks like |=| | - you need to move it so it connects the other one and the middle one instead for a second, then move it back again00:49
daftykinsthis'll reset your BIOS settings and allow the machine to POST again00:49
codephobicBashing-om, I tried using software centre and apt-get, neither worked so I ended up installing ubuntu on the drive (on an empty partition)00:50
codephobicnow I'm running TestDisk (at 75% analysed now), but not sure how successful I'll be.00:51
=== nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire
codephobicFor some strange reason, I can't even mount some other disks00:51

wellERIC^^ i posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/11087659/01:08
daftykinsReGiStRaS: do you not understand what i mean by finding the ISO in the vmware folder and mounting it into the VM?01:09
OerHekscodepython777, what makes you think kernel 4.0 solves issues?01:10
EriC^^well: ok, so everything is working except that the android isn't in the list?01:10
wellERIC actually i do not see the ANDROID in the menu01:10
ReGiStRaSthere is no VMware tools ISO!01:10
daftykinsReGiStRaS: *sigh*01:10
EriC^^well: in grub?01:10
James46929Anyone got voice commands to work?01:10

edneyI'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and cant connect bluetooth devices01:11
Loshkicodepython777: there used to be a hardware compatibility list. Last time I looked it was badly out of date. When shopping for linux laptops, I narrow down the search then read newegg/amazon reviews. If there isn't a review where someone says "I booted Ubuntu on it" (or equivalent), I pass. Tiresome.01:11
daftykinsReGiStRaS: i told you to do this manually before linking.01:12
ReGiStRaSok so where can I find this VMware Tools ISO then?01:12
EriC^^well: ok, try to make a custom entry for it01:12
wellERIC I did, but the problem is when I try to run the update-grub i get error01:13
EriC^^well: it's odd that your not using EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi to boot grub, but i dont want to mess with it since it's working01:13
EriC^^you're using EFI/grub/shimx64.efi for some reason, i dont know01:13
welli have dell laptop01:14
EriC^^well: anyways follow this guide to add the android http://askubuntu.com/questions/517212/booting-android-with-grub-but-how01:14
EriC^^nevermind the grub customizer, type sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom01:15
wellERIC i think i followed am looking into this deep01:16
wellam retrying..01:16
EriC^^you already added an entry?01:17
daftykinsReGiStRaS: i can't hold your hand the whole way.01:17
wellERIC I added manually01:18
Drew_Neilsondoes or will Ubuntu have an assistant like Siri or Cortana?01:18
wellbut when I try to run the grub-customizer I get "grub-mkconfig couldn't be executed successfully. error message:01:18

linux_dreamhi guys. I'm looking at my kernel log and I see several lines such as: May 11 22:58:53 isaac-desktop kernel: [ 1319.090916] [UFW BLOCK] IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=01:00:5e:00:00:01:7c:b2:1b:19:23:75:08:00 SRC=192.168.0.1 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=36 TOS=0x00 PREC=0xC0 TTL=1 ID=0 PROTO=202:16
linux_dreamshould I worry?02:16
=== Swish[\] is now known as Swish
daftykinslinux_dream: nah02:23
linux_dreamok thanks02:23
linux_dreamI did sudo ufw logging off    just in case02:23
daftykinshang on02:24
daftykinsyou were worried about security so you decided to stop logging entirely?02:24
linux_dreamyes02:24
daftykinsseems legit.02:25
=== Tsunami is now known as Guest48695
linux_dreamon ubuntu forum someone gave that answer. someone else said that it's better to move the ufw stuff in its own log and not pollute system log02:25
linux_dreami prefered the safer way :)02:25
Specdaftykins: seems legit02:26
Idlerthat is understandable02:26
* daftykins tips his cap to Spec02:26
Idlersometimes ufw can use a lot of log space02:26
linux_dreamI guess it's ok if you set a limit to log file size02:27
Idleryea but then you might not be able to check as far back as you need02:27
Idlerand its mixed with system information02:27
linux_dreamtrue02:28
linux_dreamon my laptop I have another linux distro and my kernel log is polluted by ACPI events (5 per seconds). after 5 hours I get like 40k lines long log02:28
Idlerlolo02:29
Idlerlol*(02:29
Idleryou hsould split the information in to different logs02:29
linux_dreamand I don't know how to solve the problem02:29
Idlerdedicated log to every task so you can find anything, nice and clean02:29
Idlerwhat is the problem?\02:29
OerHeksfor ufw to write its own log http://askubuntu.com/a/45215002:29
Idlerthanks02:30
linux_dreamwell the writes of ACPI events to a log file should never be around 5 per seconds the whole time02:30
linux_dreamthis slows down my system02:30
Idlerdoes that detect ufw based on application or based on filtered text, ie ufw?02:30
daftykinslinux_dream: this happens in the other distro, but not ubuntu?02:31
Idlerdoes that just make UFW have a different log or redirect all traffic(ie text) into a different log?02:31
linux_dreamright daftykins02:31
Idlerlike searched text02:31
daftykinslinux_dream: then seek support for it in their channel02:31
seveinou02:31
linux_dreamno luck so far. i also posted on their forum02:31
Idlerwhat was your question again?02:32
linux_dreamnot really a question, I was mentionning that on my laptop I have another distro (not ubuntu) and I get tons of ACPI events in the kernel log02:32
Idlerso you want to segrate the acpi results into another log?02:32
linux_dreamand that I don't know how to fix it.  it's so much that it makes my system slower02:32
linux_dreamnah I'd need to get rid of ACPI events02:33
Idlerah i think i got it02:33
Idleryou want to compeltly stop acpi events from being logged?02:33
explodingmangoHi. On my hard drive, I'm trying to fix an NTFS partition with testdisk, but the same hard drive also contains an encrypted LUKS partition which I don't wish to trash in the process. Testdisk doesn't detect it as LUKS, should I manually set that partition type to LVM before writing the partition table?02:33
explodingmangoP.S. I can actually afford to lose the encrypted LUKS partition, but I'd like to know if it's possible for future reference, I'm sure I'll need it someday.02:34
linux_dreammaybe yes Idler, but I am using a laptop and I've heard that ACPI controls some keys, my brightness and power saving... so... not really sure how to fix the problem02:34
linux_dreamthere you can see what is being written in my system log: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=22738.msg200701#new02:35
linux_dreamnothing useful IMO02:35
Idlerkeep looking around, there has to be a way to stop ACPI from being logged into syslog02:37
Idleris syslog cleaned every boot up?02:37
linux_dreamhmm yes it is I think02:38
Idlersorry gotta go, hope you solve your problem, good luck02:38
linux_dreamthank you very much02:38
linux_dreamsee you!02:38
Idlermost of the problems i have i do research and end up solving myself02:38
Idlermight drop by another time02:39

daftykinsbit weird seeing yourself quit 0o03:18
daftykinsfeedback eh03:19

daftykinsNautilus: it's probably come a long way in that time, really depends what you want. i would not use full unity in a VM though03:19

daftykinsi'd use something lighter so you can just get things done03:19
Nautilusdaftykins: You mean do it w/o GUI?03:20
duckgoosedo it with a lighter gui03:20
daftykinsnah just pick a lighter DE such as xubuntu03:20

lotuspsychjemorning to all03:22

Nautilusif I want ubuntu with a lighter weight GUI, is it ok to install Ubuntu then play with GUI's like I did on my last setup, or am I better trying xubuntu etc naturally03:41
nomad3Anybody knows?03:41
daftykinsnomad3: missed your question, what did you ask?03:41
nomad3Hi everybody! I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 and i have a problem. When my notebook is charging, the performance is perfect, but when on battery, the system is very slow. Somebody knows how i can solve it?03:42
daftykinsNautilus: since you're VM'ing just grab xubuntu and try it out03:42
daftykinsnomad3: it's probably trying to preserve battery life03:42
Nautilusdaftykins: yea, I was asking more a meta question, in the sense is if that's truly better than just swapping gui's03:42
nomad3daftykins, yeah, i think. But how i disable this?03:43
daftykinspeople often get issues installing another DE on top of a different base install03:43
daftykinsnomad3: no idea.03:43

heloi installed fluxbox and it starts up just fine03:44
helosame with guest login, so it's not some config problem03:44
heloi.e. with guest login, i cannot get into unity03:45
helobut fluxbox is fine03:45
daftykinsnomad3: open a terminal and run "watch -n 0.1 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i mhz' " and compare it in battery mode and mains power mode, to see if the CPU isn't changing speed when on battery03:45

hhtestOK Fuchs, do you mean that I have to change from "www.example.com" to only "example" for both host & hostname08:42
hhtestI'm now practicing on the VMware08:42
Fuchshhtest: no, example.com  is the domain, the host is whatever you want to call the machine. You _could_ call it www. but usually this is not done08:42
Fuchsusually you give it whatever host you want and create a DNS entry  (or in your case: an /etc/hosts entry) and then have a httpd listen on that08:43
sophie_drop the www.08:43
AtuMhhtest, some theory: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772774%28v=ws.10%29.aspx08:43
madghostwhich programm helps me to log all my network trafic ?08:44
lotuspsychje!info wireshark | madghost08:44
ubottumadghost: wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer - GTK+ version. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4 (vivid), package size 778 kB, installed size 2644 kB08:44
Fuchshhtest: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP   has some help  (just ignore the parts about MySQL and PHP, unless you need a database and a horrible script language)08:44

madghostlotuspsychje: wireshart is good for everytime control? or it is only for tests?08:45
lotuspsychjemadghost: etherape is also nice if you want a graphical view08:45
Fuchsmadghost: what's the actual use case08:45
madghostFuchs: public wifi hotspot08:45
hhtestFuchs, I have installed already a software inside the server and it's working by just typing the IP, but I need to configure the hostname for it08:45
madghostI need some tool which will be logging all connections all the time.08:46
madghostinto file08:46
sophie_how to log as root on the "su" command because u know, gotta get tired on sudo08:46
AtuMhhtest, so edit your hosts file and write the ip following by the desired hostname :)08:46
hhtestFuchs, I have change the hostname to example.com , and when I tried it, it didn't work08:46
lotuspsychje!sudo | sophie_08:46
ubottusophie_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo08:46
sophie_uhm i mean su not sudo08:47
lotuspsychje!su | sophie_08:47
hhtestAtuM, you mean for both hosts and hostname08:47
AtuMhhtest, I mean write "192.168.x.x www.example.com" to the hosts file on your PC that you're accessing the web page from08:48
AtuMhhtest, you can name the server anything you like.. the other "hosts" won't know anyting about it unless you have your own dns set up08:49
hhtestAtuM, I have done it, but It's not working, do I need to restart the server08:49
Zaccccyooo08:49
Zaccccim having some issues with ubuntu08:50

madghostcan I start tcpdump after load ubuntu as daemon ?08:50
hhtestAtuM, when I type hostname it's showing "www.example.com" and  not "example.com", does it work like that ?08:52
lotuspsychjemadghost: add an upstart or systemd08:52
AtuMhhtest, from inside that host, yes08:52
madghosthm08:52
madghosti tried tcpdump...08:53
sophie_what libraries do I need to start a dedicated server for games like.... I use SourceMod back at windows but I  think it should work08:53
madghostmy client computer 192.168.1.2 --- 192.168.1.254 (ubuntu) extIP08:53
Fuchsmadghost: what is your actual use case? Because logging all connections will lead to a HUEG file.08:54
sophie_oh god not tcpdump "-_-08:54
madghosti try find all packets for my client computer tcpdump | grep 192.168.1.2 and I had nothing ((08:54
Fuchsmadghost: so you might want to apply some filtering there08:54
Fuchsmadghost: tcpdump needs to run with root rights, thus sudo. And it's still a rather bad idea.08:54
hhtestAtuM, but what did I missed? why it's not working ?08:54
Hacker_Boyhi08:55
madghostFuchs: I just need to store all network connections of clients08:55
AtuMhhtest, are you running browser on the same computer as the service - on www.example.com?08:55
madghostubuntu works as router08:55
madghostand I will want to know who from clients connect to site ?08:56
madghostall sites08:56
lotuspsychjemadghost: there are wifi loggers too, that can trace wich ip's connected to your wifi, maybe thats more what you need?08:56
sophie_use a snooper (I guess)08:56
hhtestAtuM, I have installed VMware and I installed ubuntu server on it, I'm using my laptop browser to connect to ubuntu server08:56
jpentlandWhy is  the default option when copy/pasting to copy with formatting? Does anyone actually use this feature? Does anyone know how to disable it in KDE?08:57
Fuchsmadghost: sites as in?08:57
hhtestAtuM, the IP is working fine, but the hostname isn't working08:57
Fuchsmadghost: if site as in website: use your httpd's logs08:57
Zaccccits 4:57am where I am (y):D(y)08:57
madghostFuchs: yes08:58
Zaccccinsomniac -_-08:58
lotuspsychje!ot | Zacccc08:58
ubottuZacccc: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!08:58
Fuchsusing tcpdump for that is a terrible overkill. If you really decide to start tcpdump on bootup and write it to a file: possible, but then you definitely want to logrotate that. This file will become HUEG within short time and fill up your disk space08:58
madghostI need log which sites was clients08:58
hhtestAtuM, I'm not using the DNS for now, just trying to connect tom alfresco server using hostname only08:58
hhtestAtuM, that's all08:58
Zacccci apologize... thought this was an open discussion based chat08:59
madghosthm, is exist some http logger ?08:59

Zaccccmy problem lies within my decision on which linuz based OS i should partition my drive for. I used to be an avid ubuntu user however since the release of W7 I've strayed from the dual OS type lifestyle and being in electrical engineering my interest has been resparked. Open to all suggestions friends (:09:02

Zacccci understand how to configure dual booting thank you09:04
sophie_there should be a guide somewhere in Google about the best partitioning when it comes to dual booting with Win7 and Ubuntu 14.04 and later09:04
lotuspsychjeZacccc: yeah install 14.04 LTS is a good idea09:05
Zaccccgoogles a robot tho im looking for avid users opinions and suggestions !09:05

sophie_oh right09:06
sophie_which ubuntu version you were using back at those days?09:06
lotuspsychjeZacccc: 14.04 LTS improved alot since few years ago09:06
Zacccc14.04 eh... do they still send you a free disk copy? :P09:07

AtuMhhtest, how would your notebook know that the hostname of that server where you run alfresco???09:23
AtuMhhtest, if I name my computer "atum.example.com" and tell you that hostname.. what do you think should happen??09:24
=== k10d is now known as k10d_afk
AtuMhhtest, and let's say I'm running a web service on my pc... should your computer just know how to connect to my pc because I tell you my hostname?09:25
AtuMhhtest, please learn the basics first.. it's no use knowing how to set up alfresco if you don't know the basics of the internet09:27
bstarekAtuM, you hostname has to be "dns" resolvable first09:28
bstarekif it is not, you wont be able to access it through the internet09:28
AtuMbstarek, no shit :)09:28
bstarekAtuM, werent you asking the question?09:28
AtuMbstarek, i know that.. hhtest does not09:28
ikonia AtuM tone down the language please09:28
bstarekoh sorry man09:28
bstarekAtuM, i thought you were the one asking09:29
geirhanexto: That's the type of task sed or awk would be usable for09:29
bstarekanyway09:29
nextogeirha: so i use awk '/END/,/END/' but I want only the string inbetween to be printed not the whole line?09:30
AtuMikonia, sorry.09:30
=== rawagner is now known as rawagner_lunch
AtuMhhtest, basically you need to get to know how computers resolve hostnames to ip addresses and vice versa.. it is very important to know what DNS does and how to set it up properly.09:32
geirhanexto: That's for mutiline block. There are various ways to do it, depending on the case. E.g. with sub(), match()+substring(), setting a clever FS etc... many ways to do things. your description is far too vague to give a good answer though09:32
=== `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc
hhtestyeah, I got you now, I think I have to modify the file in my windows machine named hosts09:32
hhtestAtuM, I think If I modified it, then it will work09:33
AtuMhhtest, also there's an order in which resolving works.. it should check local hosts file first and if there's nothing usable there it sends a query to a dns server09:33
bstarekhhtest, yes but it wont be resolvable on another machine then...09:34
nextogeirha: if a line is "i have 1 apple and 1 pear to eat" I want to grab/print everything between the  1 and 1, which is "apple and"09:34
bstarekyour "alfresco" machine needs to be resolvable from ALL internet, get it?09:34
AtuMbstarek, exactly.. that is why i recommend he learns about setting up DNS first..09:34
geirhanexto: awk -F ' 1 ' '{print $2}'09:34
AtuMbstarek, not true if he's only testing it out for himself to learn alfresco.09:35
hhtestbstarek yes, I'm just practicing myself for now09:35
=== sleepypc is now known as `hypermist`
bstarekAtuM, yes, but i am sure he wants it to be accessible from anywhere,,isnt the purpose of alfresco?09:36
AtuMhhtest, ok.. so if this service is for you only, then editing hosts file is good enough09:36
bstarekok, then edit your hosts files manually09:36
nextogeirha: thanks, why $2 ? Doesn't it say only the second column?09:36
bstarekwhat are your client machines?09:36
bstarekubuntu or Doze?09:37
AtuMbstarek, his notebook :) alfresco is a VM09:37
geirhanexto: yes, where columns are separated by " 1 ". So $1 is "i have", $2 is "apple and", and $3 is "pear to eat"09:37
bstarekohh ok :))09:37
hhtestAtuM, I'm trying to install nginx and I will try to make it forward to a specific port09:37
bstarekwhats your notebook runnin on?09:37
bstarekhhtest, nginx why?09:37
hhtestbstarek, have you used nginx before?09:38
AtuMnginx is fast09:38
nextogeirha: thanks09:38
bstareki am more of an Apache guy, but you dont need it anyway09:38
hhtestOK, I'm not using port 80, I want the request to be forward to port 808009:38
AtuMbstarek, nginx is more lightweight09:38
bstarekAtuM, true, i havent migrated yet, not ready yet :)09:39
bstarekhhtest, alfresco can work on port 8080, no prob09:39
hhtestbstarek yes it's working fine09:40
nextogeirha: and then I want to sed something which I already  done but I still want only the changes to be changed in the whole file, the original file should be left as it was except the changes09:40
bstarekhhtest, listen bro, just simplify things first, then when you get familiar with it, you can start to implement other things09:40
nextogeirha: as in the example, I want 'I have' and 'pear to eat' to be left in the text file09:40
hhtestbut I need the web service to redirect the request to port 808009:40
bstarekyou would be using nginx to reverse proxy......09:40
geirhanexto: then change print $2 to print $1,$09:41
hhtestbstarek, AtuM, yes I'm using it for reverse proxy09:41
geirhanexto: err,  print $1,$309:41
nextook09:41
nextogeirha: then the whole line will be left as it was except the change09:42
geirhanexto: with sed, it could be  sed 's/ 1 .* 1 //'   assuming the separators only ever appear twice in a line09:42
bstarekhhtest, that would be another project09:43
nextogeirha: two times09:43
hhtestAtuM, bstarek , you both guys let me learn alot09:43
bstarek:)09:43
hhtestAtuM, bstarek , thanks09:43
geirhanexto: It's all about mapping out what to expect09:43
hhtestAtuM, bstarek, yes I want to use it as reverse proxy09:43
bstarekhhtest, i believe you can setup alfresco on port 8080 from the install09:43
nextogeirha: by the way, for exampel: "WORD 1 2 3 4 WORD 1 2 3 4" if that's one line, will both 1 2 3 4 be printed or only the first part?09:44
hhtestI'm typing www.example.com:8080 but I need to use only www.example.com09:44
bstarekthen, you can configure it on port 80 from start09:45
geirhanexto: only the last09:45
bstarekhhtest, you can even use an iptables rules to redirect 8080 to 8009:45
nextogeirha: ok09:46
hhtestOK, I wana learn both apache and nginx if you don't mind09:46
bstarekhhtest, google some stuff and come back with material we can discuss later..09:46
hhtestbstarek, thanks09:46
bstarekhhtest, no prob09:46
nextogeirha: can I just use: awk -F 'WORD' '{print $1,$2}' file.txt  and then use sed to change?09:48

vitimitiTrudko, mine is laggy but because of it having little power, it's more a problem of I should not run many apps, rather than I should not use Unity, so I don't think your system should have a problem with Unity itself11:22

mcphail`hypermist`: you can create a functioning Ubuntu environment using debootstrap. It isn't easy, nor is it a supported way of doing things. I wouldn't have time to walk you through the steps and pitfalls. Honestly, just install the supported way. It works.11:32

ubottu`hypermist`: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into.  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information11:35

mcphailhhtest___: do you simply want apache to listen on :8080 rather than :80?11:39
k1lLuyin: see if your theme supports that qt stuff11:40
hhtest___mcphail, yes if you can show me how?11:40
hhtest___also I'm searching for the file inside ubuntu, I saw it under the /etc/init.d but I cannot access it, why?11:41
mcphailhhtest___: don't have an ubuntu install in front of me just now, but editing /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default and reloading the configuration was the traditional way to do it11:41
InokiAnybody who can advise on the topic of proprietary vs. open source graphics drivers?11:43
hhtest___mcphail, I didn't get you, I have tried to access the file "etc/init.d/apache2"  it's saying apache2 isn't a directory11:43
brianak1l, you are my goddamn hero, thank you so much11:43
vitimitiInoki, my personal opinion is: if the FOSS driver is working with everything as expected, I'll keep it even if there's a proprietary one, specially in regards to AMD11:44
mcphailhhtest___: I was very specific in my reply. I didn't mention anything under /etc/init.d11:44
k1lbriana: the broadcom 43xx are known to be a problem on linux.11:45
hhtest___mcphail, OH yes, I saw that11:45
Inokivitimiti: elaborate please. Why "especially in regards to AMD"?11:45
mcphailhhtest___: :)11:45
hhtest___mcphail, today I'm learning dude, :))11:45
hhtest___mcphail, can you show me how to redirect the header now?11:46
vitimitiInoki, in my other laptop (AMD HD6320), the FOSS drivers work better than the proprietary ones, and when I use the proprietary ones the GPU and CPU tend to work with higher temperatures while not being able to properly handle resolutions all of the times. Instead, the FOSS ones work properly always, as expected. And it runs colder, too11:46
brianakl1: yeah i knew that, but i couldnt fix it and ive read pages of supposed fixes and you nailed it first go. thank you, thank you, thank you! this computer is going to a charity now so they will also be very grateful. have a great day :)11:46
mcphailhhtest___: the ubuntu server "way" follows the debian "way" of organising services and configuration files. You should read up a little on the debian way of administering apache2 before hacking further11:46
TwinkletoesIs there any performance or management penalty for using LVM during installation?11:47
Twinkletoes..to expand, on a server :)11:48
mcphailhhtest___: when I asked you above, you mentioned you replied you wanted to listen on :8080 rather than :80 (not redirect). What _exactly_ do you want to do? Redirect or listen to 8080?11:48
hhtest___OK, thanks any how, just one information if you don't mind can you show me how to start apache2 service, cause it's not inside my services list11:48
hhtest___mcphail, I have a tomcat application working on port 8080, I just want to redirect the connection to it11:49
madghostthere is someone program which works as a buffer between program and disk ? What I need, there is a program which writing log file, tcpdump ... > file.log and I want to store some data into memory, and what buffer will be some size it will be write into file...11:49
Inokivitimiti: Interesting. My situation is I am running a full AMD setup (Lenovo G50-45 laptop). But there's a slight difference. My laptop isn't overheating with proprietary drivers and they give me about 10 - 15 FPS more in games like HL2, but I need to know one thing. I have a particular issue with my graphics and that is gradients don't produce smooth transitions, you can literally see the progression from one colour to another in c11:49
madghostlogger > buffer in memory > hard drive11:49
vitimitiInoki, you might try FOSS and decide after you tried both? That's how I decided it11:50
mcphailhhtest___: as I don't have an ubuntu box running apache here I can't give you an exact answer to restarting etc. The incantaion used to be "sudo service apache2 start|stop|restart|reload" etc but I don't know if that has changed recently11:51

Inokivitimiti: When I installed this Ubuntu 14.04.2 it came of course with FOSS drivers. My system also kind of booted slower than with proprietary graphics. What I need to decide on and could use some help deciding on is whether to keep these or try out FOSS in case I am assured they are updated more frequently than proprietary ones. I am stuck in hesitation and don't know what to do. I don't know where to look up info the frequency/act11:53

k1ldeOxyribose: well. i think that is either some freaky plugin you use or that site you use. so i would check first. make a new profile. then test it on official sites and not warze sites13:18
deOxyribosecfhowlett, yes, but just curious if one so blatantly criminal could still be classified as 'adware'13:18
AtuMDigistras, you are aware that 15.04 is not "production" grade OS - it's pretty much a technology preview. yet much more stable then Fedora (IMHO)13:18
cyberalex4lifeHad to replace "Alt+F4" with "Alt+F3" because for some reason it stops working from time to time, curren trusty seems a mess for me(as opossed to last tried some month ago)13:18
Digistrasand on Ubuntu 15, the Insall VMware Tools option is greyed out13:18

deOxyriboseI mean a trifle too far from a video streaming ad that pops up..13:19
DigistrasAtuM: yes i understand and I want to install VMware Tools on 15 but the Insall VMware Tools option is greyed out13:19
AtuMDigistras, for VMware tools ask VMware.. I bet they only support active LTS releases13:19
cfhowlettdeOxyribose, adware/malware/whatever.  void flaky sites.  (you know which ones.)  install adblock.  most problems solved.13:19
k1ldeOxyribose: illegal streaming video sites are known for that sort of stuff. so that is not a "firefox got malware" issue13:19
deOxyribosegosh, what you call freaky flaky is national news sites including a local cnn channel for a country :)13:20
lolmausMy Kubuntu freezes during shutdown/reboot. How do i debug the issue? I tried looking into syslog but failed to find anything criminal.13:20
AtuMDigistras, 15.04 has pretty significant changes - I don't expect VMware to adopt them until 16.0413:20
deOxyriboseI never said I was on illegal sites13:21
cfhowlettdeOxyribose, cnn has NEVER tried to install anything on my system.  certainly, never attempted to install an .exe file13:21
k1ldeOxyribose: if they provide that sort of stuff, i would not use them at all. no matter what organisation that is13:21
AtuMDigistras, that said, I bet if you put enough time and effort into it, you will get VMware tools installed and working manually13:21
deOxyribosethe other thing is, I dont know if THEY provided it, but it happens when I am on their site. could be that it affected my browser from another site I've been at?13:22
cfhowlettdeOxyribose, also recommended: https everywhere plugin13:23
deOxyribosecfhowlett, I will try these, yes, adblock and https13:23
k1ldeOxyribose: remove that profile folders in /home. then restart firefox. dont use bad plugins and bad websites. use adblock.13:23
deOxyribosethough last time I was using them I had to opt out often for it disabled access to some sites I needed to view13:24
deOxyriboseI stay away from bad stuff. unless it were a link I clicked without knowing it was faked13:25
cfhowlettdeOxyribose, that can easily happen.13:26
deOxyriboseunfortunately, yes13:26

JunkHunkcfhowlett and how many upgrades are left?13:41
cfhowlett!lts | JunkHunk13:41
ubottuJunkHunk: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04)13:41
k1lsocrazy: that is not a ubuntu issue. see the vpn communities13:41
cfhowlettJunkHunk, 3 if 12.04 is any indiciation13:41
JunkHunkcfhowlett so when I get to 14.04.3 there will be no more upgrades unless I decide to do a release upgrade yes?13:43
cfhowlettJunkHunk, 12.04.5 is the latest so I believe 14.04 will follow that pattern13:44
cfhowletti.e. 3 more updates13:44
cfhowlettJunkHunk, confirmed:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule13:45
JunkHunkcfhowlett I ask you this because I have an issue with some mono libraries... and I need to use the kernel 3.13.0-4613:45
cfhowlettJunkHunk, sorry, I know too little to offer meaningful advice.  ask in this channel.13:46
MonkeyDust14.04.3 follows in august13:47
JunkHunkkernel upgrades help to keep the system secure...but I need to use a deprecated one in order to get mono working properly13:48
MonkeyDusthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule <-- scroll down13:48
JunkHunkI was wondering when kernel will be definitive for this 14.04.whatever version13:49
JunkHunkand whether the problem with mono will be fixed13:49
AtuMJunkHunk, isn't mono strictly userspace stuff?13:49
JunkHunkuserspace?13:49
JunkHunkwhat do you mean?13:49
k1lJunkHunk: the kernel is definitve.13:49
AtuMJunkHunk, not tied to kernel version13:49
JunkHunki hardly know what mono is13:49
AtuMoh.13:50
JunkHunkbut I know kernel upgrades is the reason of mono crashing13:50
k1lJunkHunk: what exactly?13:50
JunkHunkopensimulator13:50
JunkHunkI run opensimulator using mono on ubuntu 14.0413:51
AtuMJunkHunk, if you're certain, then use the old kernel13:51
JunkHunkI do13:51
JunkHunk:-)13:51
JunkHunkbut I was a bit worried about security using a deprecated kernel13:51
k1lJunkHunk: so what is the issue now?13:51
JunkHunksorry k1l let me post the error13:52
k1lJunkHunk: why are you worried? i think you dont  understand how kernel works and what the plan behind ubuntu releases and kernel versions and their support is, right?13:52
AtuMJunkHunk, is your machine exposed directly to the internet? do you run any internet services on it?13:53
JunkHunkAtum no13:53
MonkeyDustJunkHunk  and what security issue did you have in mind?13:53
JunkHunkI dont know13:54
AtuMJunkHunk, even if you did, there are other security issues to look at before upgrading the kernel.. the kernel is pretty tight security wise.13:54
JunkHunkokay then13:54
k1lJunkHunk: so what is the issue? i only see you saying false informations here.13:55
JunkHunkno issue13:55
k1lJunkHunk: ubuntu gives out security updates to the kernel, as long as the ubuntu version got support.13:55

ralph4100hey guys- I'm having a strange issue in 14.04 where all Internet browswers are super glitchy, with pages freezing non-stop. My internet connection is potentially to blame - it's basically intermittent (damn Comcast), but that doesn't quite explain the pages actually freezing, I wouldn't think.14:07
ralph4100I've tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox14:07
ralph4100I'm thinking about potentially upgrading to the latest Ubuntu build - I can't go on like this, although perhaps the connection is primarily at fault. it's super frustrating. any ideas?14:08

I resized the "disk" to double the size, but when doing "resize2fs /dev/xvdf1", it tells me it already is 10GB, but there's 20GB available. When I try to resize with parted, it tells me the partition has unsupported features.16:06
ldiamond1Anyone know how to finally increase the size of my vm disk?16:06
auronandaceldiamond1: you can't resize it if you are running off it16:06
wellERIC^^ thanks for your support yesterday, i was able to start the android thru GRUB16:07
bazhangldiamond1, was it created with the resize/grow as necessary option or not16:07
ldiamond1auronandace: I am running off another volume to resize it.16:07
ldiamond1bazhang: not sure what you mean.16:07
al2o3-crstacks88: how about ls -R / | egrep '. '16:07
bazhangldiamond1, an option upon the creation of the vm16:08
bazhang"expand as necessary" iirc16:09
ldiamond1bazhang: I don't think that's an option in Amazon EC2.16:09
ldiamond1At least not for the instance types I have.16:09
ldiamond1Anyways, I currently have a 20GB disk with a 10GB partition on it and I'm unable to resize the partition to 20GB16:10
ldiamond1sudo resize2fs /dev/xvdf1 --- The filesystem is already 2618595 blocks long.  Nothing to do!16:10

zerowaitstateDigistras: that is a question for vmware. it relates to their custom kernel modules for host integration. the problem is that 15.04 uses a newer version of the kernel that requires some changes in the source code of their kernel module. check vmware forums and you should find an answer16:22

auronandace!mini | luist18:20
ubottuluist: 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/MinimalCD18:20
MonkeyDust!notunity | luist18:20
ubottuluist: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown.18:20
MonkeyDustluist  installing the iso is faster, easier, cleaner than removing things18:21
auronandaceMonkeyDust: wow, that notunity factoid ought to be updated, mate is an official flavour now18:21
luistMonkeyDust: what iso? gnome flavor?18:21
MonkeyDustauronandace  sure is, and i'm loving it18:21
MonkeyDustluist  yes18:21

blib2daftykins: sorry. Ineed it is a ubuntu guest on windows box + vbox20:22
daftykinstroubled_user: do you use many PPAs?20:22
pawansolankiseems all i can do is SSH20:22
daftykinsblib2: run a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ; then reinstall the virtualbox guest addditions20:23
pawansolankitrying to better understand this paradigm20:23
daftykins-d20:23
troubled_userdaftykins: I guess so20:23
daftykinspawansolanki: what virtualisation tech, installed via what means?20:23
daftykinstroubled_user: could you be more specific?20:23
pawansolankidaftykins: virtualbox and Vagrant init20:24
daftykinstroubled_user: does anything need to go on when you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?20:24
troubled_userdaftykins: no, nothing20:24
daftykinspawansolanki: then consult whatever you did with vagrant to install, that is not a normal installation process.20:24
troubled_userdaftykins: I have ppas from trusted sources. omgubuntu, webup8 and icon providers20:25
nils_got myself a shiny new broadwell based notebook. I suppose splash isn't really working with that?20:25
blib2daftykins: did all that. Vboxlinuxadditions can't find kernel headers. I already install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) - ubuntu says its latests20:25
daftykinstroubled_user: do you use cairo dock?20:26
troubled_userdaftykins: no. I don't.20:26
troubled_userdaftykins: I take these libraries aren't specific to the dock, right?20:26
daftykinspass20:26
troubled_userdaftykins: otherwise I don't know why they'd be there20:26
daftykinsi'd nuke 'em and see what happens, then reinstall if not20:27
daftykinswouldn't hurt to "sudo apt-get clean" prior to any further tries too20:27
blib2k20:27
daftykinsblib2: you know what i just said wasn't in reply to you?20:28
coolnuts24Ill ask question in #archlinux they probably have a better idea whats going on.20:28
k1l_troubled_user: try this: http://askubuntu.com/a/504489/3126020:28
daftykinsblib2: does linux-headers-generic install?20:28
blib2lemme try20:28
daftykinsk1l_: troubled_user has mentioned not using nvidia hardware20:28
daftykinsso unless we're being lied to... :D20:28
k1l_troubled_user: what video card is it then?20:29
MrElendigcoolnuts24: dump them as asci keys and then import them?20:29
uppershello20:29
Jordan_Unils_: "splash"?20:30
uppersnoob question20:30
blib2daftykins: it does install, but vbox still can't find the kernel headers20:30
troubled_userk1l_: a DELL one, I'm afraid20:30
orukusaki1im visiting samsung website, and i noticed that https is not enabled20:30
orukusaki1on firefox20:30
daftykinsblib2: find a guide perhaps20:30
nils_Jordan_U, graphical boot, I'm getting the text based (which is okay I guess), maybe I just fumbled too much with my grub options20:30
uppersi accidently removed my network connection icon in the upper right hand corner and can't get it back20:30
orukusaki1is it safe to assume that my traffic is not encrypted20:31
troubled_userk1l_: came with my Inspiron20:31
k1l_troubled_user: "a dell" doesnt tell anything about the used hardware" do a "lspci" and say what it says for the video hardware20:31
daftykinstroubled_user: wait what? ^20:31
coolnuts24MrElendig: Not sure how? I install gpg2 on ubunut. i would export but i cant even list keys.20:31
Jordan_Unils_: Are you using proprietary drivers? Did you get a graphical boot splash when you installed Ubuntu initially?20:31
MrElendigexport from arch ofcourse20:31
uppersanyone?20:31
troubled_userk1l_: the point was that it's definitely not an nvidia20:32
Jordan_Uuppers: Does running "nm-applet" bring it back?20:32
k1l_troubled_user: there are inspirions with nvidia20:33
nils_Jordan_U, using OSS drivers, never got the boot splash (but I had to install via debootstrap)20:33
Jordan_Unils_: Why did you have to install via debootstrap?20:33
nils_Jordan_U, ZFS root on luks encrypted disk20:33
k1l_troubled_user: so please lets get to facts. what video card is it exactly? "lspci" will tell20:33
troubled_userk1l_: only desktops, right?20:33
blib2daftykins: no matter what I try - vbox won't recognize the kernel headers20:34
troubled_userk1l_: ok, one sec20:34
daftykinsblib2: ah well. i don't use vbox with a Linux guest20:34
blib2daftykins: how can I check if they are actually there?20:34
daftykinsdpkg -l | grep header20:34
blib2daftykins: do you use ubuntu's vbox guest additions?20:34
Jordan_Unils_: Does your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub contain "quiet splash"?20:34
daftykinsblib2: you understand that becomes impossible once i don't use vbox with a Linux guest?20:35
coolnuts24MrElendig: would love to. lol. dump from pubring.kbx with gpg2. Pulling man page up.20:35
blib2daftykins: I've 7 of them20:35
MrElendigcoolnuts24: search for "export"20:35
nils_Jordan_U, nope, that was it, forgot to add that back, also didn't have a plymouth-theme installed, thank you.20:36
daftykinserr, ok20:36
MrElendigcoolnuts24: also protio: print the key on some dead trees or clay tablets and store them somewhere safe too20:36

zykotick9troubled_user: fyi, you may have to use "lspci -v | grep VGA" to see a second for hybrid systems20:54
k1l_troubled_user: not grepping. sometimes it doesnt mention vga for the second card20:55

Misteri try to make my Main Menu Bar system hide itself when unused21:13
troubled_userk1l_: exactly. the greeter is crashing21:13
webnetare you in the mate remix or the stock unity Mister ?21:13
k1l_troubled_user: first of all i would suggest to run a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (that will not bring you to 14.10)21:13
troubled_userThis is lightdm/x-0-greeter.log http://pastebin.com/inpkeNGh21:13
webnetMister, i know you were talking about ubuntu MATE earlier (excellent choice by the way)21:14
troubled_userThere you can see the "/usr/sbin/unity-greeter: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale"21:14
=== russ_ is now known as Spec-Chum

troubled_userk1l_: this is dmesg http://pastebin.com/R1ShEHUC21:17
webnetMister, im going to assume you are in ubuntu MATE since that is what you said earlier. all you need to ro is right click the top bar and go to properties. in the properties should be an option to autohide the panel21:17
troubled_userk1l_: it's an Inspiron 15r laptop running 14.0421:18
Apacheznils_: hardware accel doesnt work21:18
k1l_troubled_user: unity?21:18
Apacheznils_: like if I go to youtube and play 720p or higher res material I get 5-10 fps of the video21:19
Misterwebnet : ok tnx .I am in MATE Ubuntu.21:19
Apacheznils_: only workaround I have found so far is to disable use of hwaccel in chrome21:19
Apachezand as I remember hwaccel worked in 14.1021:19
Juan8080Hola21:20
Juan8080Hi21:20
Apachezso I need to find someone else running ubuntu 15.04, intel hd 5000 graphics and latest google chrome stable to verify if they observe the same or if its just me21:20
Apachezalso tried xorgedgers and oibaf but no difference (currently running xorgedgers, did ppa-purge between attempts)21:21
k1l_troubled_user: so is it unity? or kde? or gnome (fallback, shell)? or amte? or cinnamon? or lxde? or xfce? or some tiling wm?...21:21
troubled_usergdm is also not working, complaining about the same unexisting symbol cairo_surface_set_device_scale21:21
troubled_userk1l_: oh, right. it's unity21:21
k1l_troubled_user: make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed. "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"21:22
k1l_troubled_user: after that: sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-021:22
troubled_userk1l_: ubuntu-desktop wasn't. :|21:23
troubled_userk1l_: perhaps I uninstalled it trying to fix the problem (?) dunno21:24
greyback_troubled_user: also, check "libcairo2" is installed21:24
greyback_that is what defines the symbol that's mentioned missing21:24
troubled_userk1l_: libgtk was21:24
troubled_usergreyback_: it is!21:24
daftykinsi reckon it needs a reinstall21:25
k1l_troubled_user: sudo service lightdm start21:25
greyback_troubled_user: what does this print: "nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairo.so | grep cairo_surface_set_device_scale"21:25
troubled_userk1l_: not working still :(21:26
greyback_troubled_user: that line prints all symbols in the library, then greps for the one you're missing. The symbol you need should appear21:26
greyback_troubled_user: have you any PPAs installed?21:26
=== srksm is now known as sarkasm
k1l_yeah, could be some font/icon/eyecandy ppas21:27
troubled_usergreyback_: here http://pastebin.com/tuq4jazJ21:27
greyback_troubled_user: ok, that's not the problem21:27
troubled_usergreyback_: I do have PPAs. would you like to see sources.list?21:28
greyback_troubled_user: please show me output of "ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0"21:28
troubled_usergreyback_: here http://pastebin.com/37PiB64p21:29
greyback_troubled_user: you have stuff in /usr/local/lib21:30
troubled_usergreyback_: should I grep for symbols in these other cairo files?21:30
greyback_troubled_user: the cairo in /usr/local/lib is being used, instead of the correct one in /usr/lib21:30
troubled_usergreyback_: oh21:30
troubled_usergreyback_: yeah. ls-ing the folder shows lots of libcairo files21:31
nils_Apachez, I've just tried it out (this is a newly installed machine though) I can play back 1080p full screen without issue (while compling a kernel in the background)21:31
greyback_troubled_user: it's not a good idea to install stuff in /usr/local/ unless you're *very* careful21:31
troubled_usergreyback_: did I do that? :O21:31
Apacheznils_: ok, then I guess something went fubar on my end with the packages when trying oibaf and/or xorg-edgers21:32
k1l_troubled_user: greyback_ maybe a ppa did that21:32
greyback_troubled_user: where did they come from? Try "dpkg -S /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.2" will print a package name if it came from a package21:32
Apachezgot any hint of how to easily restore drivers and stuff to ubuntu 15.04 original?21:32
daftykins'drivers and stuff'21:32
greyback_k1l_: it is quite likely, but bad practice21:32
Apachezwell xorg + inteldrivers21:32
nils_Apachez, 4k is a bit sluggish while compiling at the same time though ;)21:33
Apachezand whatever else oibaf or xorg-edgers might have replaced but ppa-purge missed to restore?21:33
daftykinsApachez: did you run the 01.org intel installer =/21:33
Apacheznils over here 720p drops to 5-10 fps unless I disable hwaccell in chrome21:33
Apachezdaftykins: 01.org is the same as current 15.0421:33
troubled_usergreyback_, k1l_, dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.221:33
Apachezor rather... 01.org has no installer for 15.0421:33
daftykinsthat was not what my question was21:33
daftykinsgood stuff21:34
Apachezor you mean im supposed to run the intel installer who refuse to run on 15.04? ;)21:34
daftykinsno, i always say to never run that junk21:34
greyback_troubled_user: ok, then it didn't come from a package, and so not from a ppa. Were you compiling software yourself recently?21:34
Apachezdaftykins: well I havent21:34
Apachezthe mistake I did was to try out oibaf and then xorgedgers21:35
daftykinsApachez: well we established that :)21:35
greyback_troubled_user: I suggest moving those libraries in /usr/local/lib into a backup folder somewhere21:35
troubled_usergreyback_: yes, actually. I compiled iojs21:35
Apachezbut even when restoring with ppa-purge its still sluggish with hwaccel enabled in chrome21:35
troubled_userWAIT21:35
troubled_usermotherfu*r21:35
greyback_why iojs wants cairo is beyond me21:35
troubled_usergreyback_: I know what it is! I compiled node-canvas.21:35
troubled_usergreyback_: "Node canvas is a Cairo backed Canvas implementation for NodeJS"21:36
greyback_troubled_user: there we go.21:36
troubled_userman, I should've known...21:36
troubled_useroh, the shame21:36

est31how can I find out which ppa provides my package?22:40
Ben64apt-cache policy package22:41
est31its showing me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11103150/22:42
artursup22:43
tgm4883est31: then it's not coming from a PPA22:47
est31ok22:48
est31because what wonders me is that vlc shows its version 2.2.0+ppa2.422:52
est31apt-cache policy vlc gives me 2.2.0-1 as installed22:53
est31but when I type "vlc" in bash22:53
est31I get VLC media player 2.2.0-rc1 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.0+ppa2.4)22:53
est31"type vlc" gives /usr/bin/vlc22:53
est31and dpkg -S /usr/bin/vlc gives "vlc-nox: /usr/bin/vlc"22:54
designbybeckshouldn't one be able to just use the Sound Settings to switch between headset and speakers without unplugging them each time22:54
est31apt-cache policy vlc-nox shows me 2.2.0-1 too22:54
est31yes you are abled to22:54
OerHeksvlc-nox, are you running a headless machine ?22:55
PlasmaStarI think I broke my VM setup. :)22:55
est31no22:55
OerHeksest31,  then install vlc, and remove vlc-nox.22:55
est31I'm running on kde if that matters22:55
OerHeksest31, i know, you are crossposting22:55
blibanyone has installed ubuntu on their external hdd + mac's recently here? 14.04.2?22:56
Jordan_Ublib: Try asking your actual question, and if anyone can help they will.22:57
est31ok that 2.2.0+ppa2.4 stuff is then a bug then I guess22:57
OerHeksest31, it comes from a ppa: mc3man22:58
OerHeksuse ppa-purge to remove it and reverse to regular vlc22:59
blibJordan_U: Can I install ubuntu from my windows machine to an external drive, and then boot into that ubuntu on mac?22:59
est31OerHeks, I don't even know which ppa it is23:00
est31ah23:00
OerHeksest31, i gave you the name23:00
est31lemme see what ppa-purge sais23:01
Jordan_Ublib: Yes, but it requires a little extra work (the same work that would be required when installing Ubuntu on one UEFI based machine then booting that hard drive on another UEFI based machine).23:01
blibJordan_U: I've a mac book pro and a windows box. Just got an external drive. Want to boot my mac from the external drive. Don't have a usb flash drive23:02
=== lenny is now known as boxbot2000
=== boxbot2000 is now known as lenny
Jordan_Ublib: Is your Windows machine UEFI based?23:03
blibJordan_U: no23:03
Jordan_Ublib: How do you plan to install Ubuntu to the external drive? What will you be booting Ubuntu's installer from?23:06
est31OerHeks, this command doesnt give me mc3man: grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | sed '/#/d'23:07
est31only wine and minetest ppas23:07
est31and I'm very sure minetest ppa doesnt contain vlc23:07
OerHeksest31, then you have removed it already, without removing packages. add it again and use ppa-purge23:07
OerHeksmc3man is the only vlc ppa i know.23:08
jamiebHey all23:08
jamiebI would like to join the firefox IRC23:09
jamiebDo you know how I can do this?23:09
est31jamieb, you are on the wrong network23:09
est31https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC23:09
jamieboh sorry. Thanks :)23:09
est31apt-cache policy vlc does show me that  2.2.0-1 is installed, without ppa packages23:10
est31also dpkg -l shows me the same, 2.2.0-123:12

ubottuEn la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro.23:38
