[00:00] i had vaguely remembered some alternatives thing breaking AMD and nvidia stuff, hrmm [00:00] daftykins: 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" . [00:01] Bashing-om: hehe :D [00:01] i think amdconfig --initial is akin to nvidia-xconfig which just writes a bare xorg.conf yeah [00:01] anyway, irrelevant now - task complete :D [00:02] Hello, 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] daftykins: :) agreed, if EriC^^ Is happy. we are all happy . [00:02] :D [00:07] 02:05:44 - whytrytofly: hello [00:07] 02:05:49 - whytrytofly: anyone around [00:07] 02:05:58 - whytrytofly: have probs setting my wallpaper [00:07] 02:06:18 - whytrytofly: resetting it everytimewhen i start mywindowmanager [00:07] 02:06:21 - whytrytofly: (i3) [00:07] 02:06:31 - whytrytofly: dont know where to start myfeh [00:07] 02:06:40 - whytrytofly: asthereis no .xinitrc [00:07] whytrytofly: Let's not flood man xD [00:08] JFORD: yeah what's going on then? [00:08] daftykins: ok... that didn't work [00:08] aaaand the guy left [00:08] daftykins: everything broke, horribly [00:08] Kage: going to 12.04 ? [00:08] yeah [00:08] what did you run instead of do-release-upgrade ? [00:08] I ran do-release-upgrade [00:09] does anyone know how the wallpaper is set? [00:09] I was missing the update-manager-core package [00:09] whytrytofly: create a .xinitrc ? exec --no-startup-id feh --bg-scale /path/to/image [00:09] I installed that, then did do-release-upgrade [00:09] daftykins: it was... bad [00:09] daftykins: my filesystem went readonly [00:09] and all other sorts of horrible things [00:10] that sounds pretty bad [00:10] so - did you backup? :P [00:10] yeah [00:10] I had to restore it [00:10] so is this thing a VM, or? [00:10] it is VM [00:11] Kage: daftykins So, ya want to try and fix, or just do the fresh install of 14.04 ? [00:11] Bashing-om: this server has like 6 services and 15 users [00:11] all configed and working correctly for the past 4 years [00:11] daftykins how likely is it that this ram issue is causing significant performance problems? [00:11] yeah but as Bashing-om wisely said, you won't have that working with an upgrade anyway [00:12] mekhami: practically guaranteed if it were more than just one in an entire pass [00:12] daftykins so far it's jus tone [00:12] let it go as far as two passes and it should flag up more [00:12] hrmm [00:12] mekhami: is your system single-disk? [00:13] er i mean does it use a mechanical disk for the OS? [00:13] daftykins just one SSD for everything [00:13] Kage: what services do you run? [00:13] mekhami: which kind? [00:13] daftykins 512gb crucial [00:13] MX100? [00:13] daftykins: apache, mailserver, mysql, sshd, and god knows what else [00:14] daftykins: I think I got a gitlab service [00:14] Kage: 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 ASAP [00:14] honestly 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 Trusty === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [00:15] daftykins sounds about right but i can't find my order history hah [00:15] ah wait i have the box [00:15] yeah it's MX100 [00:15] daftykins: that is going to take me days to do :( [00:15] daftykins: have you ever configed mail server to use mysql? [00:15] it isn't pretty [00:15] :( [00:15] Kage: i don't run my own mail 'cause i think it's not worth it 8D [00:16] mekhami: ah ok, same drive \o/ they've had no major fixes in firmware changes so far, so no issues on that side perhaps [00:16] hello there! does anyone know about nevernote? I cant type or paste into the text field, as if it is disabled === al2o3-cr is now known as yoyoyoy [00:16] daftykins i've always had a completely naive hunch that the river is the problem. [00:16] daftykins: you think it'd make a difference if I did though a console instead of ssh? [00:17] daftykins but idk why that is. [00:17] 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 === yoyoyoy is now known as al2o3-cr [00:17] mekhami: which driver? [00:17] nvidia-331 [00:17] Kage: nah [00:17] mekhami: what's your nvidia card? [00:17] don't remember... it's in the 400s [00:18] mekhami: 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 driver [00:18] this happens often in my experience when the RAM is iffy [00:18] there's basically a boot lottery as to what will go wrong when [00:19] mekhami: of course, packages being installed on a system with bad RAM can copy corrupted and so be permanently bad [00:19] so there's that too [00:19] but focus on the RAM idea first and get to the bottom of that before advancing ;) [00:19] Kage: so is it a physical box or a VM? [00:20] daftykins: VM [00:21] i really would just start from scratch [00:21] i write notes when i do my new LTS setups :) [00:21] daftykins: I know this is bad... but I think I might just stick with 10.04 [00:21] many many changes in 14.04 apache alone [00:21] 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 [00:21] Kage: yeah you can't do that :) [00:22] daftykins: who is going to stop me? [00:22] future Kage when your box gets pwned [00:22] honestly what you're describing i'd just set aside a weekend and get it done [00:23] 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 [00:23] ReGiStRaS: in what networking setup? [00:23] ReGiStRaS: stop repeating. [00:23] daftykins: honestly, I think installing java broke my system [00:23] daftykins looks like same error in the same spot on the second pass [00:23] ugh java [00:23] custom network [00:23] I'm pretty sure the java packages are that which is blocking upgrades [00:23] mekhami: what point in MB does it say? [00:23] ReGiStRaS: so not bridged, host only or NAT? [00:23] daftykins 7038.1mb [00:24] nope [00:24] that should not matter anyway. it didn't in 14 [00:24] daftykins: if I go to 14.04... when will be the next time I have to do this? [00:24] ReGiStRaS: 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] Kage: 2019 [00:24] April 30th [00:24] just normal copy and paste [00:25] of text [00:25] daftykins: maybe I should wait until 16.04 [00:25] or files [00:25] ReGiStRaS: ah so perhaps you don't have the full vmware tools set on [00:25] I didn't have to install VMware tools in 14 [00:25] why do they expire LTS on a year with no LTS to take it over :( [00:25] Kage: i wouldn't recommend it because that'll be new and untested by then, whereas 14.04 is already nice and comfy [00:25] and I sear to god i didn't [00:26] Kage: wat, you're on 10.04 in 2015 - we've had 12.04 and 14.04 since [00:26] ReGiStRaS: that doesn't matter, you are where you are [00:26] so if you insist on running 15.04 then get cracking :) [00:26] * Kage cries [00:26] and why is 15 different this time? [00:26] no idea. [00:26] i can't say i've ever expected clipboard sharing to work with vmware VMs [00:27] daftykins: 10.04 is still supported... just no more updates because everything is all stable and perfect now [00:27] and btw, it is not possible to install VMware tools in Ubuntu [00:27] * Kage rocks back and forth in the corner [00:27] Kage: nope, it died on April 30th [00:28] it is EOL [00:28] and I swaer to god on that [00:28] nope... nope... it is fine, everything is fine [00:28] Kage: i'd prefer if you're going to lie to yourself you do it internally :) [00:28] but mark my words, you are making a colossal mistake [00:29] ReGiStRaS: it is [00:29] daftykins 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] (possible) [00:29] mekhami: could well be [00:29] mekhami: do you have 2 x 4GB? [00:29] daftykins yep [00:30] mekhami: 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 in [00:30] that should complete fine [00:30] but you can also do as i mentioned earlier [00:30] the optiion is greyed out [00:32] ReGiStRaS: there are many ways other than the console menu item [00:32] go look it up [00:32] Ubuntu 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 screen [00:32] But now I have no sound! [00:33] designbybeck: test the guest session [00:33] ok....brb [00:33] daftykins: hey... buddy.... are you doing anything this weekend? [00:33] lol. [00:34] Kage: 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 done [00:34] simples. [00:34] daftykins, I went to guest session, and my audio worked [00:34] i was in the same boat [00:34] why me no have audio and guest does! Guest aint welcome here! [00:34] I wonder if I can convince chronical to instate 10.04 support [00:35] Hey 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] designbybeck: 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 back [00:35] ok let me try that [00:35] designbybeck, just delete the folder ~/.config/pulse then logout and log back in [00:35] ah there you go ^ [00:35] kostkon: ^5! [00:36] oops I already renammed the .config [00:36] designbybeck: just rename it back [00:36] all will be well [00:36] Kage: maybe with money... [00:36] and cake [00:36] mmmm cake [00:36] hi [00:36] ah a UK user, hi [00:36] daftykins: this is going to take so much time [00:37] RIP weekend [00:37] :( [00:37] brb [00:37] daftykins interestingly i took out the stick farthest from the CPU and now my monitors aren't turning on. [00:37] daftykins: can I even migrate users without breaking their passwordS? [00:37] mekhami: winner - best do the cleanup i mentioned. you did remove mains whilst performing surgery, yeah? [00:38] Kage: i'm not experienced enough with user management for that one i'm afraid [00:38] I 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] daftykins: maybe copying /etc/users and /etc/shadow will be enough [00:38] daftykins i don't even know what removing mains means. [00:38] codephobic: booting a live session and playing with testdisk might work [00:39] mekhami: er i don't know where in the world you are but - outlet power? for 'muricanese [00:39] the electricity! [00:39] hah daftykins yes, it was unplugged. [00:39] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-move-migrate-user-accounts-old-to-new-server/ [00:39] good stuff [00:39] ok, it doesn't look too hard [00:40] oh, and moving databases... will be painful [00:40] :( [00:40] daftykins: just murder me [00:40] kill me dead [00:40] ok daftykins I removed pulse and restarted...I have audio now, but not sound icon at the top bar [00:40] *sigh* [00:40] Kage: nah databases is easy peasy [00:40] codephobic: testdisk is the standard; but see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery . [00:40] ...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 daftykins [00:41] daftykins, 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] designbybeck: np! also ^5 kostkon for the more accurate answer [00:41] maybe Ill take this chance to move to managed mail service [00:41] codephobic: yeah you boot the live session, then install testdisk via apt-get [00:42] daftykins what arrangement is the ram supposed to be in again? [00:42] assuming it's (CPU) AB AB [00:42] it's AA or AB [00:42] codephobic: ideally you would image up the disk as-is to a backup driver before any attempts, if you have a spare hard disk big enough [00:42] daftykins, I couldn't get my live version to apt-get install anything. [00:42] daftykins: I have googled ab out Install VMware tolls greyed out but nothing [00:42] nothing much came up [00:42] so don't say I didn't look it up [00:42] mekhami: 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 each [00:43] codephobic: perhaps you weren't online [00:43] designbybeck, try to setup your audio again in sound settings, also you could try reinstalling indicator-sound, logout and log back in (again) [00:43] Kage: google apps ftw [00:44] kostkon, I'm in to deep already!...it will have to wait [00:44] daftykins would it help to know it's an ASUS mobo? [00:44] daftykins, I was online reading the link that Bashing-om provided - found it whilst googling for a solution [00:44] * designbybeck awesome music play, glass of wine, editing a beautiful ladies photos.....good evening! ;) [00:44] designbybeck, ok! [00:44] hello [00:44] thanks though kostkon, I'll check that out next time I reboot [00:45] designbybeck, np [00:45] I'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] mekhami: well, ultimately one is wonky. so just test one in the slot closest to the CPU socket, then the other [00:46] so 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 mounted [00:46] codephobic: 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 ) . [00:47] daftykins my monitors aren't turning on anymore :( this is frustrating [00:47] mekhami: with the RAM in what config? [00:47] Bashing-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] one stick in A by itself, and then also in AA [00:47] but i had it in AB before so I should try that i suppose [00:48] AA would be same-channel [00:48] mekhami: 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] same color slot [00:48] daftykins negative [00:49] codephobic: ?/ of course it will .. just can not save it ( DVD) . IF USB one can set "persistenece" . [00:49] ok 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 again [00:49] this'll reset your BIOS settings and allow the machine to POST again [00:50] Bashing-om, I tried using software centre and apt-get, neither worked so I ended up installing ubuntu on the drive (on an empty partition) [00:51] now I'm running TestDisk (at 75% analysed now), but not sure how successful I'll be. === nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire [00:51] For some strange reason, I can't even mount some other disks [00:51] Hello everyone, whenever I try to download files over 8GB in size over FTP with MC or WGET, they both freeze at the file checking stage, anyone know why? [00:52] daftykins: I have googled ab out Install VMware tolls greyed out but nothing [00:52] nothing much came up [00:52] for some reason if i scroll horizontally in gedit, the movement is inverted. not sure if any other apps are affected, but chrome and firefox for example scroll normall in the horizontal direction [00:52] ReGiStRaS: no don't look up that query [00:52] i think this change happened when i upgraded to 15.04 from 14.10 [00:52] has anyone else experienced this? [00:53] i'm using cinnamon desktop btw [00:53] ReGiStRaS: does your VM maybe not have an optical drive attached? [00:54] it does have [00:54] daftykins i don't have ot power it up with the cmos jumper ove ror anything do i [00:54] not sure if it is an issue specific to cinnmamon or more of a gtk thing maybe? [00:54] it have 2 actually [00:54] ReGiStRaS: well, locate the ISO in the vmware WS folder and mount it manually [00:54] ReGiStRaS: here is their guide on installation - google result #2 no less - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022525 [00:54] hmm, horiz scrolling in nemo is inverted as well [00:55] mekhami: nope, just put it in the second position for 5 seconds, then move it back and power up [00:57] URGENT: I need help in updating the GRUB [00:57] well: what's your problem? [00:57] teste [00:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11087455/ [00:57] this is my configuration [00:58] boa noite [00:58] could you help> [00:58] alguem ai :? [00:59] am new to ubuntu [00:59] i spend past few days to sort out.. [00:59] well: why are you using ext2? it's ancient [00:59] "For Workstation: VM > Install VMware Tools." << like I said, the Install VMware tools option is greyed out! [00:59] not moving forward [00:59] all steps tells me to do that but that option is greyed out [00:59] is anyone running ubuntu on surface pro 3? Are the drivers working already? Or did you have to compile a new kernel? [00:59] "Eric " will that be a problem? [01:00] well: no, just less performance [01:00] and features [01:00] ReGiStRaS: ugh i was really hoping you'd be bright enough to realise i said to mount the ISO _manually_ [01:00] "Eric" i updated the GRUB file, but it not showing in the menu [01:00] well: do you get a grub menu right now? [01:00] daftykins still no go [01:00] fui [01:00] tried one stick in the first slot [01:00] tried the other [01:00] boa noite pra quem fica [01:00] nothing gets the monitors on [01:00] "Eric" yes i get that , but it is not showing the android one [01:01] mekhami: hrmm, alright we're getting into hardware only now so if you'd like to PM we can carry on [01:01] excuse me [01:01] "Eric" any thoughts? [01:02] well: first are you sure uefi mode is enabled? [01:02] daftykins: I have read it again and again. Ubuntu Server with only a command line interface tells me the 1st step is to Go to Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools (or VM > Install VMware Tools). [01:02] type ls -l /sys/firmware/efi [01:02] The Install VMware tools option is greyed out! [01:02] ReGiStRaS: and i'm asking you to mount the ISO manually from the vmware program folder into the VM. [01:03] that's all that menu item does! [01:03] well: it's odd that it says it uses EFI/grub/shimx64.efi did you used to have another linux os installed? [01:03] ERIC this is the output i getwell@well-Inspiron-7548:~$ ls -l /sys/firmware/efi [01:03] total 0 [01:03] -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 11 20:02 config_table [01:03] drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 11 19:46 efivars [01:03] -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 11 20:02 fw_vendor [01:03] -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 11 20:02 runtime [01:03] well: please paste stuff in paste.ubuntu.com [01:04] does anyone know if this was fixed yet : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1439847?

[01:05] daftykins: how hard is it to move the kernel in LTS to 4.0+? [01:06] anyone could help me about bluetooth conection? [01:07] well: can you type sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt ? [01:07] codepython777: you shouldn't really run a newer kernel [01:07] Has anyone used Ubuntu to send faxes? [01:07] ERIC^^ no output [01:07] it asked for password then no output [01:07] well: ok, type ls -l /mnt and paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [01:07] that's ok [01:08] is there a list of machines that ubuntu is tested on? preferably laptops?

[01:08] ERIC^^ i posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/11087659/ [01:09] ReGiStRaS: do you not understand what i mean by finding the ISO in the vmware folder and mounting it into the VM? [01:10] codepython777, what makes you think kernel 4.0 solves issues? [01:10] well: ok, so everything is working except that the android isn't in the list? [01:10] ERIC actually i do not see the ANDROID in the menu [01:10] there is no VMware tools ISO! [01:10] ReGiStRaS: *sigh* [01:10] well: in grub? [01:10] Anyone got voice commands to work? [01:11] which part of your guide says that? [01:11] ERIC : ya right i do not see in the GRUB menu while booting currently i see windows boot manager and ubuntu and GRUB [01:11] lol [01:11] I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and cant connect bluetooth devices [01:11] codepython777: 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. [01:12] ReGiStRaS: i told you to do this manually before linking. [01:12] ok so where can I find this VMware Tools ISO then? [01:12] well: ok, try to make a custom entry for it [01:13] ERIC I did, but the problem is when I try to run the update-grub i get error [01:13] 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 working [01:13] you're using EFI/grub/shimx64.efi for some reason, i dont know [01:14] i have dell laptop [01:14] well: anyways follow this guide to add the android http://askubuntu.com/questions/517212/booting-android-with-grub-but-how [01:15] nevermind the grub customizer, type sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom [01:16] ERIC i think i followed am looking into this deep [01:16] am retrying.. [01:17] you already added an entry? [01:17] ReGiStRaS: i can't hold your hand the whole way. [01:18] ERIC I added manually [01:18] does or will Ubuntu have an assistant like Siri or Cortana? [01:18] but when I try to run the grub-customizer I get "grub-mkconfig couldn't be executed successfully. error message: [01:18] /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 36: /etc/default/grub: menuentry: not found" [01:19] well: hmm [01:19] is anyone familiar with the ath9k drivers? I am having problems getting a supposedly supported chip to work in 15.04 [01:19] i'd remove the grub customizer thing and do it manually [01:19] Drew_Neilson, there is a project Siri-us http://www.pcworld.com/article/2898148/meet-sirius-the-open-source-siri-clone-that-runs-on-ubuntu.html [01:19] not official [01:19] are you siri-us?

[01:23] ERIC i started the grub-customizer still getting the "grub-mkconfig couldn't be executed successfully. error message: [01:23] /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 36: /etc/default/grub: menuentry: not found" [01:23] well: /etc/default/grub is borked [01:24] there's a menu entry there, it should be in /etc/grub.d/40_custom [01:24] did you add it there? or did grub-customizer? [01:25] ERIC i do not remember adding that..

[01:27] is anyone familiar with the ath9k drivers? I keep getting an error code that seems pretty unusual. [01:27] hello there! does anyone know about nevernote? I cant type or paste into the text field, as if it is disabled [01:27] well: then type sudo ppa-purge ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer [01:28] Drew_Neilson, compete? linux is superiour ..

Any ideas what could be wrong? I have never before seen a HDD that can read ok, but not write [01:31] ERIC http://paste.ubuntu.com/11087939/ [01:32] Hello [01:33] well: ok, type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [01:33] am there eriic [01:33] and delete the last lines starting from menuentry "Android5" { [01:34] Who would I direct my questions to?

[02:02] well: give it a shot, see if it works [02:02] WOW>. you guys are helping a lot really.. [02:02] it works or not is important in this open community you guys are helping that is more important.. I AM REALLY IMPRESSED BY ERIC your help [02:02] :) [02:02] l will restart.. [02:02] hehe, no problem :) [02:02] ok [02:16] hi 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=2 [02:16] should I worry? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [02:23] linux_dream: nah [02:23] ok thanks [02:23] I did sudo ufw logging off just in case [02:24] hang on [02:24] you were worried about security so you decided to stop logging entirely? [02:24] yes [02:25] seems legit. === Tsunami is now known as Guest48695 [02:25] on 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 log [02:25] i prefered the safer way :) [02:26] daftykins: seems legit [02:26] that is understandable [02:26] * daftykins tips his cap to Spec [02:26] sometimes ufw can use a lot of log space [02:27] I guess it's ok if you set a limit to log file size [02:27] yea but then you might not be able to check as far back as you need [02:27] and its mixed with system information [02:28] true [02:28] on 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 log [02:29] lolo [02:29] lol*( [02:29] you hsould split the information in to different logs [02:29] and I don't know how to solve the problem [02:29] dedicated log to every task so you can find anything, nice and clean [02:29] what is the problem?\ [02:29] for ufw to write its own log http://askubuntu.com/a/452150 [02:30] thanks [02:30] well the writes of ACPI events to a log file should never be around 5 per seconds the whole time [02:30] this slows down my system [02:30] does that detect ufw based on application or based on filtered text, ie ufw? [02:31] linux_dream: this happens in the other distro, but not ubuntu? [02:31] does that just make UFW have a different log or redirect all traffic(ie text) into a different log? [02:31] right daftykins [02:31] like searched text [02:31] linux_dream: then seek support for it in their channel [02:31] u [02:31] no luck so far. i also posted on their forum [02:32] what was your question again? [02:32] not 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 log [02:32] so you want to segrate the acpi results into another log? [02:32] and that I don't know how to fix it. it's so much that it makes my system slower [02:33] nah I'd need to get rid of ACPI events [02:33] ah i think i got it [02:33] you want to compeltly stop acpi events from being logged? [02:33] Hi. 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? [02:34] P.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] maybe 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 problem [02:35] there you can see what is being written in my system log: https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=22738.msg200701#new [02:35] nothing useful IMO [02:37] keep looking around, there has to be a way to stop ACPI from being logged into syslog [02:37] is syslog cleaned every boot up? [02:38] hmm yes it is I think [02:38] sorry gotta go, hope you solve your problem, good luck [02:38] thank you very much [02:38] see you! [02:38] most of the problems i have i do research and end up solving myself [02:39] might drop by another time [02:39] cya [02:39] thx, ok I'll try to prevent the writes === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Tokyo [02:48] Hi [02:49] ed__: hello [02:56] mmm [02:56] anyone? [03:10] Hi [03:11] Any one out there? [03:11] na === uwishuno is now known as uwishununoware [03:16] nope [03:17] anyone have feedback about using virtualbox vs vmware player for 14.04LTS based web dev on Win7? [03:18] what kind of feedback [03:18] bit weird seeing yourself quit 0o [03:19] feedback eh [03:19] duckgoose: about choosing between virtualbox & vmware player. I've used the later before in a special circumstance where virtualbox didn't cut it, but that was a while ago === grubles is now known as Guest21092 [03:19] Nautilus: it's probably come a long way in that time, really depends what you want. i would not use full unity in a VM though [03:19] I can tell you I'd choose virtualbox personally. it seems to be more light weight to me [03:19] i'd use something lighter so you can just get things done [03:20] daftykins: You mean do it w/o GUI? [03:20] do it with a lighter gui [03:20] nah just pick a lighter DE such as xubuntu [03:20] or ubuntu MATE [03:20] duckgoose: ahyea, I use lubuntu gui now [03:21] I think virualbox has a better interface IMO [03:21] as far as performance, I've used both and didn't notice a difference [03:22] ah, that helps. that's my biggest concern. And maybe things like USB [03:22] morning to all [03:22] Nautilus I know virtualbox has nice USB options [03:22] i always found vmware workstation on a windows host faster, personally [03:23] daftykins: ohh [03:23] you can attach any usb device to a VM with a few clicks [03:23] I never used the workstation version [03:23] not enough monies [03:24] yea, same here [03:24] I'm hoping it will perform better than the dedicated (original) Atom box I have [03:25] you're using a CPU with visualization support right [03:25] erm [03:25] virtualization [03:25] nice i7 now [03:26] i have a stupid question .... why would i do need a color scheme for vim if my terminal already has a color scheme applied? [03:26] 4790? 4970? [03:30] there is another virtual out there too kvm [03:31] oh there's plenty more but nowhere near as friendly [03:32] i found vmware workstation on 15.04 crashed my system so i went back to 14.10 [03:32] gsd: maybe its got a different color highlighting? [03:33] i had 590 errors on 15.04 ubntu too [03:33] jen5: does kvm install into Windows like VB or VM, or is it lower level than that? [03:33] Jen5: you will need to choose something else, 14.10 will be eol soon [03:33] Jen5: if you need stable you might consider LTS version [03:33] i did [03:33] 14.10 is lts [03:34] Jen5: no [03:34] !trusty | Jen5 [03:34] Jen5: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) was the 20th release of Ubuntu and is the latest !LTS version. Download at http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ - CHECK FOR POINT RELEASES at http://releases.ubuntu.com - Release Info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes [03:34] no i am using 14.10 not 14.04 [03:34] i heard 15.04 only does 9mos [03:34] Jen5: 14.10 isnt LTS, and will be dead soon [03:35] which ones is [03:35] 14.04 [03:35] Jen5: yes [03:35] k [03:35] Jen5: so youl have to switch soon to either 15.04 again or 14.04 LTS [03:36] did reddit get doxxed? [03:36] sorry [03:36] wrong room [03:36] i did try 15.04 [03:36] it crash both computers [03:37] i have built computer and store buyed one [03:37] Jen5: if you need a more stable version, try LTS [03:37] k [03:37] lotuspsychje is another lts coming? [03:37] does it have option in 14.04 [03:37] !release | ablest1980 [03:37] ablest1980: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [03:37] to lower ver [03:38] Jen5: what do you mean? [03:38] ok ty [03:38] i will go over to 14.04 right now [03:38] Jen5: good choice! [03:39] next LTS would be 16.04? [03:39] correct [03:41] if 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 naturally [03:41] Anybody knows? [03:41] nomad3: missed your question, what did you ask? [03:42] Hi 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] Nautilus: since you're VM'ing just grab xubuntu and try it out [03:42] nomad3: it's probably trying to preserve battery life [03:42] daftykins: yea, I was asking more a meta question, in the sense is if that's truly better than just swapping gui's [03:43] daftykins, yeah, i think. But how i disable this? [03:43] people often get issues installing another DE on top of a different base install [03:43] nomad3: no idea. [03:43] i can't get into unity classic or unity 8 on 15. if i select either at the lightdm login prompt, my password is accepted but it stays on the launcher screen with my username [03:44] daftykins: gotcha, thanks. [03:44] daftykins, me too. The Google is not my friend about this topic. [03:44] the system still seems to be responsive, i can click on the icons in the upper-right to connect to networks or reboot, change keyboard layout locale etc [03:44] i installed fluxbox and it starts up just fine [03:44] same with guest login, so it's not some config problem [03:45] i.e. with guest login, i cannot get into unity [03:45] but fluxbox is fine [03:45] nomad3: 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 battery [03:46] helo: graphics drivers? [03:46] my system has been stuck like this since i upgraded from 14.10. [03:46] daftykins: fglrx [03:46] upgrades :( [03:47] is it actually working though? [03:47] fglrxinfo thinks so [03:47] updating steam to see what he sez [03:48] he said 'u wot m8?' [03:48] i'd just read /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:48] i can't switch to a virtual console for some reason either :/ [03:49] there's pretty much nothing on google about this happening to others [03:49] all on my lonesome [03:53] question for someone that might be able to help... My server keeps going down or something, like i can't ssh to it anymore? is it possible that one of the drives could be failing? [03:56] Appl3Kork: does it run enough to check? is it a physical system or a VPS? [03:56] physical system, screen on the system just goes blank, no cmd line, and the ssh will work when i reboot, but only for a certain amount of time [03:57] In the Jessie release notes theres quite a list of packages, but I'm not clear if those are all -installed- or just a list of available apps. I *think* it's the later. [03:57] https://www.debian.org/News/2015/20150426 [03:57] SSH in and install pastebinit + smartmontools, then run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda | pastebinit [03:57] Appl3Kork: though that sounds more RAM/power related [03:57] erm, wrong channel [03:57] ok [03:57] Nautilus: speaking debian now eh! tut tut ;) [03:58] due diligence :) It's what a likely client uses, so it's worth a look [03:59] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11089511/ [04:02] Appl3Kork: oh an SSD, yeah not necessarily that then. i'd memtest it if i were you, if it dies during that, PSU perhaps [04:02] Appl3Kork: oh anything at the bottom of "dmesg" ? [04:03] dmesg | pastebinit [04:03] now, i was getting an error on the screen, saying something about sda1 [04:03] a lot of messages going on the screen saying something about sda1 [04:04] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11089561/ [04:08] daftykins: here's an updated dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/11089599/ [04:08] I'm having some problems with my wifi if anyone thinks they can help me, the ath driver isn't initializing at boot. spits out an error code [04:09] Appl3Kork: hrmm 'unhandled error code' [04:09] is that in first or second one? [04:09] oh ya i see it now [04:09] SATA cable change i reckon [04:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11089611/ [04:09] ricksl: is a hardware wireless switch off? [04:10] ricksl: try powering off, removing mains power + unplugging the battery for 5 mins then turning back on. beyond that i've no idea [04:10] its a pci card, doesn't have one to my knowledge [04:10] its a desktop [04:10] ah ok [04:10] specifically this https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WDN3800 [04:11] booting a live session is always good to confirm [04:11] i have tried a live session of several os, 12.04 14.04 and 15.04, none of them work [04:12] both 32 and 64 bit, uefi and legacy bios mode [04:12] something is wrong then [04:12] i generally don't come to these things unless I have thoroughly researched and exhausted other options [04:12] have you run memtest? [04:13] no, i didn't think that would confirm anything. it does work on windows [04:13] ricksl: ah, pretty rare we get users like that [04:13] oh, sorry, caught more info that its a problem device, I was thinking of another convo [04:14] ive seen people saying they had problems then upgraded, this was like years ago in forum threads [04:14] im not quite sure how to use backports though, or if it would make a difference [04:16] hey so if the sends the enter key to the script im calling one, how do i send it twice [04:16] cat < (echo "") | ./myscript [04:16] what is the purpose of unbranded versions of Moz apps? [04:17] wrong channel again [04:17] swiftynb: better in #bash probably === STxAxTIC is now known as MathBlab [04:29] hi I want to edit /etc/suoers I open the file with sudo but it says it is readonly [04:29] what command can i use to know whats taking the most recources on the system?

[09:00] Just ask what's your problem and we will help you | Zacccc [09:00] I have to go ( I back after lanch [09:00] thank you! [09:01] Fuchs, can you help me please? [09:02] my 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] linux* [09:02] hhtest: maybe you should talk to the ##networking guys [09:03] Zacccc: you want a dualboot with ubuntu? [09:03] they would help since alot of them are sysops [09:03] !dualboot | Zacccc [09:03] Zacccc: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [09:04] thinking about it. it's been about 3 years since i had ubuntu so im assuming they've progressed and created new operating systems since then and looking for opinions on the matter (: [09:04] i understand how to configure dual booting thank you [09:04] 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 later [09:05] Zacccc: yeah install 14.04 LTS is a good idea [09:05] googles a robot tho im looking for avid users opinions and suggestions ! [09:05] tried once in Win10 build 1004 and it works [09:05] Zacccc: you remember wich ubuntu version you used before? [09:05] only the exception of Elementary OS ughhh [09:05] w10 is garb ! i tested the preview and thought nothing more of it than w7! [09:05] anyone agree [09:06] 0_0 wat [09:06] oh rite [09:06] DX12 doesn't work [09:06] lets keep it ubuntu related [09:06] oh man the version i used i believe was 7.1 or something... been about 3-5 years [09:06] oh right [09:06] which ubuntu version you were using back at those days? [09:06] Zacccc: 14.04 LTS improved alot since few years ago [09:07] 14.04 eh... do they still send you a free disk copy? :P [09:07] lotuspsychje: 14.04.2 LTS broke me [09:07] 14.04.1 is an great option [09:07] i remember ordering 4 copies and all the people i gave it to loved it aha [09:07] just grab a stick and burn it [09:08] (hooray for Startup Disk Creator!

[09:20] !grep | nexto [09:20] nexto: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [09:23] hhtest, how would your notebook know that the hostname of that server where you run alfresco??? [09:24] hhtest, if I name my computer "atum.example.com" and tell you that hostname.. what do you think should happen?? === k10d is now known as k10d_afk [09:25] hhtest, 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? [09:27] hhtest, please learn the basics first.. it's no use knowing how to set up alfresco if you don't know the basics of the internet [09:28] AtuM, you hostname has to be "dns" resolvable first [09:28] if it is not, you wont be able to access it through the internet [09:28] bstarek, no shit :) [09:28] AtuM, werent you asking the question? [09:28] bstarek, i know that.. hhtest does not [09:28] AtuM tone down the language please [09:28] oh sorry man [09:29] AtuM, i thought you were the one asking [09:29] nexto: That's the type of task sed or awk would be usable for [09:29] anyway [09:30] geirha: so i use awk '/END/,/END/' but I want only the string inbetween to be printed not the whole line? [09:30] ikonia, sorry. === rawagner is now known as rawagner_lunch [09:32] hhtest, 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] nexto: 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 though === `hypermist` is now known as sleepypc [09:32] yeah, I got you now, I think I have to modify the file in my windows machine named hosts [09:33] AtuM, I think If I modified it, then it will work [09:33] hhtest, 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 server [09:34] hhtest, yes but it wont be resolvable on another machine then... [09:34] geirha: 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] your "alfresco" machine needs to be resolvable from ALL internet, get it? [09:34] bstarek, exactly.. that is why i recommend he learns about setting up DNS first.. [09:34] nexto: awk -F ' 1 ' '{print $2}' [09:35] bstarek, not true if he's only testing it out for himself to learn alfresco. [09:35] bstarek yes, I'm just practicing myself for now === sleepypc is now known as `hypermist` [09:36] AtuM, yes, but i am sure he wants it to be accessible from anywhere,,isnt the purpose of alfresco? [09:36] hhtest, ok.. so if this service is for you only, then editing hosts file is good enough [09:36] ok, then edit your hosts files manually [09:36] geirha: thanks, why $2 ? Doesn't it say only the second column? [09:36] what are your client machines? [09:37] ubuntu or Doze? [09:37] bstarek, his notebook :) alfresco is a VM [09:37] nexto: yes, where columns are separated by " 1 ". So $1 is "i have", $2 is "apple and", and $3 is "pear to eat" [09:37] ohh ok :)) [09:37] AtuM, I'm trying to install nginx and I will try to make it forward to a specific port [09:37] whats your notebook runnin on? [09:37] hhtest, nginx why? [09:38] bstarek, have you used nginx before? [09:38] nginx is fast [09:38] geirha: thanks [09:38] i am more of an Apache guy, but you dont need it anyway [09:38] OK, I'm not using port 80, I want the request to be forward to port 8080 [09:38] bstarek, nginx is more lightweight [09:39] AtuM, true, i havent migrated yet, not ready yet :) [09:39] hhtest, alfresco can work on port 8080, no prob [09:40] bstarek yes it's working fine [09:40] geirha: 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 changes [09:40] hhtest, listen bro, just simplify things first, then when you get familiar with it, you can start to implement other things [09:40] geirha: as in the example, I want 'I have' and 'pear to eat' to be left in the text file [09:40] but I need the web service to redirect the request to port 8080 [09:40] you would be using nginx to reverse proxy...... [09:41] nexto: then change print $2 to print $1,$ [09:41] bstarek, AtuM, yes I'm using it for reverse proxy [09:41] nexto: err, print $1,$3 [09:41] ok [09:42] geirha: then the whole line will be left as it was except the change [09:42] nexto: with sed, it could be sed 's/ 1 .* 1 //' assuming the separators only ever appear twice in a line [09:43] hhtest, that would be another project [09:43] geirha: two times [09:43] AtuM, bstarek , you both guys let me learn alot [09:43] :) [09:43] AtuM, bstarek , thanks [09:43] nexto: It's all about mapping out what to expect [09:43] AtuM, bstarek, yes I want to use it as reverse proxy [09:43] hhtest, i believe you can setup alfresco on port 8080 from the install [09:44] geirha: 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] I'm typing www.example.com:8080 but I need to use only www.example.com [09:45] then, you can configure it on port 80 from start [09:45] nexto: only the last [09:45] hhtest, you can even use an iptables rules to redirect 8080 to 80 [09:46] geirha: ok [09:46] OK, I wana learn both apache and nginx if you don't mind [09:46] hhtest, google some stuff and come back with material we can discuss later.. [09:46] bstarek, thanks [09:46] hhtest, no prob [09:48] geirha: can I just use: awk -F 'WORD' '{print $1,$2}' file.txt and then use sed to change? [09:54] Hey guys [09:54] Help desk ticketing systems: probably there are more generic customer service ticketing systems as well. I was thinking about adapting some open source ticketing system to use by charities to help coordinate volunteers. Can anyone suggest ny existing open surce software that is well documented and therefore easy to adapt, or very well implemented and worth adapting, or well suited to this task and not in need of adapting? [09:54] Is Ubuntu 15 stable yet? [09:54] yes [09:54] :) thank you [09:54] is there a feature list over 14? [09:55] I'm just downloading 15.04 :) [09:57] .. [10:04] !releases | Fodd [10:04] Fodd: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 9 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [10:04] oh, i didnt know that, thank you [10:05] so there is no 14 or 15. its always YY.MM [10:08] Evenin' [10:08] ./moin! [10:08] geirha: the problem is some of the lines that awk is grabbing must not be changed [10:08] hi [10:10] nexto: that's a completely different case though. First you wanted to extract data from a file; now you want to modify the file [10:13] geirha: sorry, I wanted to extract it be in the end keep the old except the changes [10:13] but* [10:16] do you guys know how to get a Galaxy S3 running Ubuntu? [10:17] I've not got the device with me, but a rough idea would be cool [10:17] mhh my ubuntu has load and I cannot find out why === rawagner_lunch is now known as rawagner [10:19] nexto: awk -F WORD 'NF==3 {$0 = $1" "$2} {print}' infile > outfile [10:23] geirha: ok=) but where do I do the sed substitutions ? [10:24] nexto: I showed how to do it with awk. No sed required. You can do it with sed instead, of course. [10:28] Hi guys, since my recent fresh install of 15.04 my laptop constantly shutdown exactly every 30min. Even under bios. Every 15/20 times i get a working "session" wich can last forever until i shutdown manualy. Then it start again. Any lead ? [10:29] s0d0m, battery low? :) [10:29] AtuM, no. Itried with and without it === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje [10:30] I basicaly tested every component. I come down a bios or mb issue [10:30] BUt which one ?

I'm not able to configure the thirdlevel key on my keyboards because lxde doesn't have a gui for that. I don't know where to look for... [10:42] hi reveredge [10:43] aokmanga, u have #lxde for that but dunno how active is that [10:44] yes i asked on lubuntu channel too but seems inactive in that way [10:44] I'll try there too [10:47] maybe i found something but I don't know the code of my key to use [10:47] it says only altgr or shift+altgr [10:47] aokmanga: alt-GR is the 3rd level key usually [10:47] but i've a macbook keyboard i don't have an altgr key [10:47] is called differently [10:47] or more specific: shift + alt-gr [10:48] that is some info that is handy to say at the start [10:48] i've an alt key+options (this is the name on mac keyboards) but by default it doesn't work [10:49] i'll try setting thirdlevel on alt-gr [10:50] I think it is called lwin_switch, i try and I'll make you know [10:52] hey... i am having an issue with duplicate sources.list and no idea how to get rid of them currently. http://pastebin.com/tXYDj9s3 [10:52] if i just delete them they get added back [10:52] Hounddog: Open /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the files which are the same?

[11:17] hihi, im trying to figure out what is loading this nic kernel module...whatever it is is ignoring modprobe.d (as well as blacklist.conf) i tried adding explicit rules in udev rules and no luck across the board. any ideas? [11:19] hi guys, if I have bit laggy system could the problem be in unity? I have 8 GB RAM and intel i5 2500 with radeon 7950(proprietary drivers) [11:20] Trudko, I'm using Unity with an Intel Celeron with 1.5GB of RAM [11:21] so you dont think the problem could be in unity it self? [11:21] Trudko: your spec is more than adequate to run Unity smoothly. What do you mean by "laggy"? [11:21] briana: which driver is in use? [11:22] Trudko, 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 itself [11:23] briana: "lsmod" will show the drivers in use. see if its the b43 or the wl one [11:25] http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3985/7nps89p7_png.htm I'm trying to find out why my qt-based programmes like vlc and vym look like crap. any ideas? [11:26] k1l: cfg80211 418839 1 wl [11:26] what do i do with that info? [11:27] briana: well, you could try the b43 driver then [11:27] briana: "sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source " [11:28] briana: and then" sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer " [11:29] <`hypermist`> do i have to reboot my pc to be able to install ubuntu ? [11:29] okay ty k1l [11:29] ill try that [11:30] `hypermist`: installing without rebooting is possible but extremely painful. You have to reboot into the new system at the end, anyway [11:30] <`hypermist`> i know mcphail i just wanted to install it then booot into it :D [11:31] is there a specific channel for ubuntu openstack images ? I'm looking for a RAW image of ubuntu 14.04 installed on LVM .. === joao_ is now known as Mete- [11:32] `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] <`hypermist`> haha i guess im going to have to arent i [11:33] `hypermist`: yes :) [11:33] <`hypermist`> as muuuch as i dont want to haha === LIFE^ is now known as LIFE^|AFK [11:35] !debootstrap | `hypermist` [11:35] `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 information [11:35] <`hypermist`> o.o [11:35] http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3985/7nps89p7_png.htm I'm trying to find out why my qt-based programmes like vlc and vym look like crap. any ideas? [11:36] <`hypermist`> 100% confusing mcphail lol [11:36] `hypermist`: yep [11:36] I've already tried reinstalling them, but they still look horribly ugly [11:36] Anyone able to get pushbullet indicator to work? [11:36] hi guys, I have installed ubuntu server on my VMware just for PRACTICING, and I have installed apache2 on the same server, I'm trying to redirect my connection from port 80 to port 8080, can someone help me with that? [11:37] hhtest___: try #ubuntu-server [11:38] Luyin: missing qt theme? [11:38] here goes nothing :P === nic is now known as Guest93458 [11:39] k1l so what would I do to find out what is missing? [11:39] hhtest___: do you simply want apache to listen on :8080 rather than :80? [11:40] Luyin: see if your theme supports that qt stuff [11:40] mcphail, yes if you can show me how? [11:41] 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] hhtest___: 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 it [11:43] Anybody who can advise on the topic of proprietary vs. open source graphics drivers? [11:43] mcphail, I didn't get you, I have tried to access the file "etc/init.d/apache2" it's saying apache2 isn't a directory [11:43] k1l, you are my goddamn hero, thank you so much [11:44] Inoki, 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 AMD [11:44] hhtest___: I was very specific in my reply. I didn't mention anything under /etc/init.d [11:45] briana: the broadcom 43xx are known to be a problem on linux. [11:45] mcphail, OH yes, I saw that [11:45] vitimiti: elaborate please. Why "especially in regards to AMD"? [11:45] hhtest___: :) [11:45] mcphail, today I'm learning dude, :)) [11:46] mcphail, can you show me how to redirect the header now? [11:46] Inoki, 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, too [11:46] kl1: 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] hhtest___: 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 further [11:47] Is there any performance or management penalty for using LVM during installation? [11:48] ..to expand, on a server :) [11:48] hhtest___: 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] 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 list [11:49] mcphail, I have a tomcat application working on port 8080, I just want to redirect the connection to it [11:49] there 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] vitimiti: 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 c [11:49] logger > buffer in memory > hard drive [11:50] Inoki, you might try FOSS and decide after you tried both? That's how I decided it [11:51] hhtest___: 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 recently [11:52] hi. How can I install Chromium browser? I'm on 14.04LTS [11:52] makara: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [11:52] makara: sudo apt-get install chromium === walker is now known as Guest51861 [11:52] mcphail, It's giving me unable to resolve host "www.example.com" [11:53] mcphail, thanks any how for your information [11:53] vitimiti: 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.

[11:53] iceroot: ubuntusoftwarecentre also stuck at 0% [11:53] Inoki, I recommend you try it yourself, really [11:53] Inoki: what's the actual question as your analysis doesn't make sense [11:53] hhtest___: you'll need to edit the conf file mentioned above, but that is going to take a bit of reading first. Enjoy :) [11:54] hello fellow ubuntu users :) [11:54] ikonia: sorry for the confusion. I basically need to know how frequently are FOSS graphics drivers updated. [11:54] test [11:54] pls how do i use vim on ubuntu [11:54] Inoki: rarely, hence the stability promise [11:54] mcphail, yeah my eyes is blinking now [11:54] iceroot: no Internet you say?

[11:55] nate22: just state the ubuntu problem [11:55] phveektor: install it and use it? Where exactly are you stuck? [11:55] phveektor: like you would use vim on others distributions [11:55] !vim | phveektor [11:55] phveektor: Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [11:55] bn trying to use it i just dont undesratnd it [11:56] phveektor: oh, so that's just a generic how to use vim problem?

[11:57] ikonia: it's because I have this issue that I had also with Windows 8 on the same laptop, I even turned to AMD support and yeah, they provided links to support articles for Windows... and I told them I'm running Linux. I experience bad visual rendering with gradients e.g. I literally see transitions in them, the graphics aren't smooth, they are choppy. I often see large pixels. And that's why I wanted to know the possibility of an u [11:57] Text mode that is [11:57] >> is that I need! [11:58] madghost: you're welcome :) [11:58] Inoki: unlikley from within the distro [11:58] i'm doin it now [11:58] thanks [11:58] just opening the link [11:59] I'm having an issue trying to set a persistant static route, however I just realised that i'm actually in debian not ubuntu so I'm not sure if it still applies [11:59] Does anyone have experience with AMD graphics using the Oibaf PPA? Did those drivers improve your experiences? Is there a high chance of breaking the system? [12:00] nate22: then #debian would be the better place to ask :) [12:00] interface setup is auto lo [12:00] iface lo inet loopback [12:00] iface eth0 inet static [12:00] address 10.5.0.227 [12:00] netmask 255.255.255.0 [12:00] broadcast 10.5.0.255 [12:00] nate22: so better ask in #debian (while the same way of asking works there too) [12:00] and less pasting would be great :) [12:01] Inoki: I have used them, with a mainline kernel. They are not guaranteed to be stable, so don't use them if you need stability [12:01] ikonia, vitimiti, I'm sorry if I sounded confusing, it's just there's so much I need to ask I don't even know where to start and English isn't my mother tongue. [12:01] mcphail: Thank you, that helped a lot! [12:01] Hey guys, the ubuntu TV software, does that come on a standard ubuntu install? like windows media center?

[12:02] as i've got a remote and TV tuner for mah pc :) [12:02] Foddd: i am not aware that the tv software is usable for now. [12:02] oh okay [12:02] so is it Kodi for now? [12:02] Inoki: if you run Ubuntu 15.04, you'll have a fairly up-to-date kernel and mesa.

I've been trying to search online on if there is a way to fix this without editing the upstart scripts. Any ideas?

I "purged" firefox, sudo-updated, and reinstalled firefox, sudo-updated again. and I was expecting that it would be a fresh install with none of my bookmarks, add-ons etc. but they are all there! as if I never deinstalled! how is that= [13:03] ? [13:04] deOxyribose: it's cause they're saved in your home dir [13:04] deOxyribose, because your /home [13:05] deOxyribose: type rm -r ~/.mozilla ~/.cache/mozilla [13:05] deOxyribose: apt-get purge doesnt touch the configs in the /home folders since they get created on startup from the program itself [13:05] EriC^^, cfhowlett does that mean firefox is nevertheless fresh installed? [13:05] deOxyribose, fresh install yes [13:06] deOxyribose: apt-get doesn't touch your home dir, it only installs stuff to /usr/bin and /etc etc. [13:06] my asking is because there is a malware in firefox that annoys in the last weeks. firefox people are aware of it, yet have no solution apparently yet [13:06] I thought I could get rid of it with a reinstall [13:06] deOxyribose: what kind of malware is that? link or name in mind?

However if my vpn goes down unexpectedly the connection stays alive without the VPN. is there a way to reset the ethernet or reconnect the VPN in this event ?

[13:09] deOxyribose: or a plugin you installed [13:09] k1l, no, I had it checked by firefox people. [13:09] deOxyribose, also a link to "firefox people are aware of it" info would help [13:09] pbx, it was chat [13:10] On Ubuntu 14.04.1 moving window to specific workspace seems not to work [13:10] deOxyribose, on a public logged channel? just trying to help you help your helpers here [13:10] maybe there’s a way to monitor for “VPN disconnected” in a log file or something like that ? [13:11] Is there a way to fix this? [13:11] hi [13:11] hi [13:11] hello [13:11] Hello!

Is there a way to fix moving windows directly to a specific workspace? Not even right click menu (on top bar) work [13:14] deOxyribose: check your plugins [13:14] hello ther === VAMPI is now known as Guest67328 [13:14] e [13:15] pbx, sorry, chat log folders are all empty [13:15] k1l, as I said, I checked them with firefox helpers on their channel, they viewed all plugins [13:15] where is my sdcard located in /dev ? [13:15] deOxyribose, definitely suspect. I see a .exe file for your ubuntu system. install adblcok plugin [13:15] *adblock* [13:15] i'm running on an RPi2 [13:15] checked everything, just won't work (if I set atlernative shortcuts in dconf-editor they don't work either since the first trusty release) [13:16] hi guys...I'm running Ubuntu 15 in VMware Workstation and it seems that I can't copy from Vmware host to Ubuntu 15. But in Ubuntu 14, I was able to do so without installing VMware Tools. [13:16] hi === Owner_ is now known as Guest73470 [13:17] Hello, do you know a command line epub reader? :) [13:17] cfhowlett, so it is an adware that attempts outright at trickery? [13:17] hi guys...I'm running Ubuntu 15 in VMware Workstation and it seems that I can't copy from Vmware host to Ubuntu 15. But in Ubuntu 14, I was able to do so without installing VMware Tools. [13:17] Digistras, copy as in "copy-paste" ? [13:17] deOxyribose, such is the nature of adware, no?? [13:18] yes... [13:18] deOxyribose: 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 sites [13:18] cfhowlett, yes, but just curious if one so blatantly criminal could still be classified as 'adware' [13:18] Digistras, 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] Had 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] and on Ubuntu 15, the Insall VMware Tools option is greyed out === Guest67328 is now known as kopele [13:19] I mean a trifle too far from a video streaming ad that pops up.. [13:19] AtuM: yes i understand and I want to install VMware Tools on 15 but the Insall VMware Tools option is greyed out [13:19] Digistras, for VMware tools ask VMware.. I bet they only support active LTS releases [13:19] deOxyribose, adware/malware/whatever. void flaky sites. (you know which ones.) install adblock. most problems solved. [13:19] deOxyribose: illegal streaming video sites are known for that sort of stuff. so that is not a "firefox got malware" issue [13:20] gosh, what you call freaky flaky is national news sites including a local cnn channel for a country :) [13:20] My Kubuntu freezes during shutdown/reboot. How do i debug the issue? I tried looking into syslog but failed to find anything criminal. [13:20] Digistras, 15.04 has pretty significant changes - I don't expect VMware to adopt them until 16.04 [13:21] I never said I was on illegal sites [13:21] deOxyribose, cnn has NEVER tried to install anything on my system. certainly, never attempted to install an .exe file [13:21] deOxyribose: if they provide that sort of stuff, i would not use them at all. no matter what organisation that is [13:21] Digistras, that said, I bet if you put enough time and effort into it, you will get VMware tools installed and working manually [13:22] the 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? [13:23] deOxyribose, also recommended: https everywhere plugin [13:23] cfhowlett, I will try these, yes, adblock and https [13:23] deOxyribose: remove that profile folders in /home. then restart firefox. dont use bad plugins and bad websites. use adblock. [13:24] though last time I was using them I had to opt out often for it disabled access to some sites I needed to view [13:25] I stay away from bad stuff. unless it were a link I clicked without knowing it was faked [13:26] deOxyribose, that can easily happen. [13:26] unfortunately, yes [13:26] hello?anyone here?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:28] deOxyribose, I use ghostery and self-destructing cookies plugins. [13:28] deOxyribose, also suggest: set your FF settings to NEVER remember/retain cookies/history [13:30] and warn you of website redirects [13:31] ok now I know why I can copy from Vmware host to Ubuntu 14 directly.

[13:41] !lts | JunkHunk [13:41] JunkHunk: 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] socrazy: that is not a ubuntu issue. see the vpn communities [13:41] JunkHunk, 3 if 12.04 is any indiciation [13:43] cfhowlett so when I get to 14.04.3 there will be no more upgrades unless I decide to do a release upgrade yes? [13:44] JunkHunk, 12.04.5 is the latest so I believe 14.04 will follow that pattern [13:44] i.e. 3 more updates [13:45] JunkHunk, confirmed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule [13:45] cfhowlett I ask you this because I have an issue with some mono libraries... and I need to use the kernel 3.13.0-46 [13:46] JunkHunk, sorry, I know too little to offer meaningful advice. ask in this channel. [13:47] 14.04.3 follows in august [13:48] kernel upgrades help to keep the system secure...but I need to use a deprecated one in order to get mono working properly [13:48] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseSchedule <-- scroll down [13:49] I was wondering when kernel will be definitive for this 14.04.whatever version [13:49] and whether the problem with mono will be fixed [13:49] JunkHunk, isn't mono strictly userspace stuff? [13:49] userspace? [13:49] what do you mean? [13:49] JunkHunk: the kernel is definitve. [13:49] JunkHunk, not tied to kernel version [13:49] i hardly know what mono is [13:50] oh. [13:50] but I know kernel upgrades is the reason of mono crashing [13:50] JunkHunk: what exactly? [13:50] opensimulator [13:51] I run opensimulator using mono on ubuntu 14.04 [13:51] JunkHunk, if you're certain, then use the old kernel [13:51] I do [13:51] :-) [13:51] but I was a bit worried about security using a deprecated kernel [13:51] JunkHunk: so what is the issue now? [13:52] sorry k1l let me post the error [13:52] JunkHunk: 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? [13:53] JunkHunk, is your machine exposed directly to the internet? do you run any internet services on it? [13:53] Atum no [13:53] JunkHunk and what security issue did you have in mind? [13:54] I dont know [13:54] JunkHunk, 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] okay then [13:55] JunkHunk: so what is the issue? i only see you saying false informations here. [13:55] no issue [13:55] JunkHunk: ubuntu gives out security updates to the kernel, as long as the ubuntu version got support. [13:55] apologies [13:56] JunkHunk your worries are not really needed [13:56] JunkHunk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support [13:57] whats the command to get latest open-vm-tools [13:58] Digistras, sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools [13:58] Digistras you mean, newer than what's in the repos? [14:00] I've got manpages and manpages-dev installed. DO I still need to install man-db to get all the man page information? [14:01] Twinkletoes: likely, but you also likely already have it [14:02] Pici: I install a minimal virtual machine, so I don't have lots of stuff ;) [14:02] Pici: I'm happy for stuff to get installed, jsut wanted to keep the extra unneeded stuff to a minimum [14:02] Twinkletoes: well, man-db is part of the standard image, and it is installed on all non-minimal installs. [14:03] please help im trying to get my wireless network working on my hp pavilion g6 series [14:03] Pici: Thank you :) [14:06] why is my SW RAID always gone after reboot? [14:07] hey 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] I've tried Opera, Chrome, Firefox [14:08] I'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?

[15:33] ScriptMonkey00: ubuntu doesn't run on a chromebook - thats chrome OS [15:33] ScriptMonkey00, which Chromebook? [15:33] ikonia, you're wrong, since the 3.15 kernel Chromebooks are natively supported [15:33] the new ASUS c201 with 4gb ram and the rockchip quad cpu [15:33] no [15:33] ikonia i see with all of them [15:33] but bad with kubuntu and other flavors [15:33] ikonia, it runs with crouton. [15:33] ScriptMonkey00: thats not ubuntu [15:33] i have a dell inspiron new laptop with touch screen [15:33] thats still chomeOS [15:34] cruouton is nothing to do with ubuntu [15:34] so talk to the chomeOS/crouton support guys [15:34] * Jabo is running Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 on his HP Chromebook 14, installed directly from the .iso [15:34] not crouton [15:34] not chrubuntu [15:34] Jabo: well done [15:34] Hello, I would like to know how can I play videos on a samba share without mounting. Also if there is a way to clone displays with the OSS radeon driver. [15:34] I know I can install ubuntu on my chromebook, but there are driver issues if I do it by changing the boot itself [15:35] #southeastlinuxfest [15:35] no ScriptMonkey00 [15:35] ikonia could you help? [15:35] ScriptMonkey00: talk to the chome/crouton guys [15:35] there's no driver issues now [15:35] Is there something like snapshot.debian.net for ubuntu, with packages that were in the repo at a certain date? [15:35] Jabo: they resolved them? [15:35] Ubuntu 15.04 installs without issue [15:35] nice! I might reconsider that one [15:35] wifi, touchpad, bluetooth, 3g modem, sound, video [15:35] etc [15:35] all work fine [15:35] well: so the first thing I would look at is removing the boot splash, that will show you the boot process and you can see what responds quick/slow [15:36] ikonia what command i need to run [15:36] this is on my HP 14 I'm talking [15:36] and it will be the same on the Acer C720 [15:36] !bootsplash [15:37] !nosplash === BOHverkill_ is now known as BOHverkill [15:39] ikonia what command i should run?

[15:40] well is better to remove them all and install only ubuntu 1st [15:41] ok [15:41] then from ubuntu make virtual boxex for other flavours [15:41] ok [15:41] basicly u have 5 ubuntus on same pc [15:41] well: I don't like it - but kde seems to have better touch screen support [15:41] KDE?

I've tried a lot: reinstalling graphics drivers, compiz, unity, restoring default configurations... I haven't seen anything fishy in any of the logs under /var/log or journalctl [15:41] (or better still just do a clean kubuntu install) [15:41] !kde | well [15:41] well: KDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [15:42] I'm at a loss, and any help in the right direction woul be appreciated [15:42] ikonia and auroandace you both suggeste use KDE or kubuntu-desktop? [15:43] kubuntu is ubuntu with kde [15:43] well: kubuntu-desktop is kde, but I advise you to just do a clean kubuntu install [15:43] rather than try to install kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu [15:43] ok [15:43] well: i just wanted to share the factoid, i hardly use kde so i can't really make a recommendation based on touch screen usage [15:44] ok [15:45] can I use kumbut 15? WELL [15:45] IKONIA can I use kubunt 15? [15:45] when I installed ubuntu15 last time my wifi doest not work and ethernet also [15:46] then i uninstalled and reinstalled to 14.10 [15:46] well: if your hardware supports it, should be great [15:46] well: there is no 15, i think you mean 15.04 [15:46] yes i refer to 15.04 [15:47] i saw it started working when i use 14.x [15:47] and wifi workes with windows 8.1 [15:47] it looks there are some WIFI issues with 15.04 === DarkDevil is now known as darkdevil [15:56] Hello , guys I would like to play videos from a samba share on ubuntu mate 15.04, I dont want to mount, with lubuntu I was going to /run/user/1000/gvfs/share and I could play them but on mate there isn't such thing.

Both /dev/xvda1 and /dev/xvdf1 are mounted as / [16:22] PlasmaStar: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms \ [16:22] Digistras: 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 answer === Kerd is now known as Guest23861 [16:22] EriC^^: but this is only according to gparted.

[16:56] Errors were encountered while processing: [16:56] libjpeg62:i386 [16:56] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code [16:56] oh wait, I didn't read your original question enough [16:56] Can someone explain? [16:56] yes that's what I meant but after re-reading your original thing, I don't think that's gonna help [16:57] jarlopez, try another session... openbox or another DE [16:57] if you're getting logged in successfully, it's clearly not the display manager [16:57] The behavior is the same as when the machine goes into power-saving mode (i.e. after 5 min of inactivity). The HDMI input is cut to the monitor, and the monitor itself goes to sleep [16:57] I blame systemd [16:58] orly [16:58] make sure your clock is set properly? [16:58] I tried `xset s off`. How do I ensure proper clock setup? [16:58] `date` returns correctly [16:58] h [16:59] ("ah") well, ok, guess it's not that then [16:59] Errors were encountered while processing: [16:59] libjpeg62:i386 [16:59] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code [16:59] I keep getting this message anyone that can help? [16:59] Alumin: AFAIK, all signs point to driver issues, right? [17:00] I would say "most signs", yeah [17:00] Greetings. [17:00] Mm. Any idea of where to look for errors? [17:00] it is possible that something in software is triggering the behaviour, but it seems unlikely [17:01] Anybody use Ubuntu MATE? [17:01] that's why I asked about the clock, I thought maybe the screensaver/powersave triggering was going wonky [17:01] Alumin: Sometimes I can stay logged in no problem _until_ I start opening windows and interacting [17:01] Keyword sometimes [17:01] TIFU: Accidently froze "/" cause I am an idiot. [17:01] Is there anyway to fix this or am I dead int he water.

I am an idior. [17:02] I haven't even heard of that command === icedwater is now known as Guest68571 [17:02] Alumin, Heh [17:03] sudo fsthaw / [17:03] hello, how I've created a static route like "sudo route add default gw 192.168.43.1 wlan0", but then how can I persist it while leaving the interface wlan0 on dhcp . Thanks [17:03] Prevents files from being written/read [17:03] jarlopez: yeah, that's a good one, I dunno...I'd agree though, does sound driverish [17:03] I *literally* did it to make a snapshot so I have a snapshot right after I did it. [17:04] If I loaded that snapshot would / still be in the "fsfreeze" state [17:04] so, I take it "fsfreeze -u /" doesn't work? [17:04] I got DC'd from the SSH [17:04] And now I cannot log back in [17:04] oh [17:04] Alumin: :( Well, thanks for the input [17:04] Yea. [17:04] yeah, that's gonna be a problem [17:05] do you have any kind of OBM hardware? (Dell DRAC, HP iLO, etc.) [17:05] Google Cloud Platform [17:05] I'm not familiar with that, but if they give you a "virtual console" or "virtual KVM" option then that might work [17:05] console. [17:05] but if you can't even log in at the console, yeah I'd say you're probably boned [17:06] is boned the technical term :( [17:06] it is if you've watched enough Futurama [17:06] probably nothing an fsck can't clean up [17:06] Do I at least get a sympathy prize [17:07] Peter-C: not until you lose data :) [17:08] Alumin, Do you think swapping that disk out would fix it? [17:09] Ie. would it still be frozen if I uploaded the snapshot back? [17:09] Alumin: Hmm I took a peek in kern.log, I see two errors related to the i915 error handler. Any tips on how to proceed? [17:09] jarlopez: nothing specific, no. Can you roll back the driver? [17:10] That's what I was thinking -- I'm looking into it right now [17:10] buddhabu: still there? [17:10] Peter-C: well, I don't really know about fsfreeze, but this doesn't sound like the sort of thing that would persist across a reboot [17:11] you need to create Xorg.conf now, no longer exists as default [17:11] that's the first thing I'd do [17:11] X -configure, then mv /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf [17:11] For the record, if this channel is logged, my sound bug is known and going an a year without a fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1334329 Ho-hum, guess I learn to live with it or hack around it somehow [17:11] Launchpad bug 1334329 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Sound input settings not saved" [Undecided,Confirmed] [17:12] Peter-C: ultimately what to do is up to you, but if it were me the next thing I'd consider is getting the hypervisor to press-and-release the virtual power button [17:13] italys: Still here :) [17:13] that should signal init to start a graceful shutdown [17:13] now, whether it'll be able to do that with a read-only root filesystem, I dunno [17:13] I will be the happiest guy if that works Alumin [17:15] italys: Doing 'X -configure' will create a 'xorg.conf.new' file? === vance is now known as Guest93090 === Comanch_ is now known as comanch [17:17] Alumin, It worked <3333 [17:17] yeah, I'd be surprised if something like that persisted across a reboot [17:18] you may want to look into your hypervisor options for booting into a rescue environment [17:18] in case the next thing you do _does_ persist across a reboot [17:18] :P [17:20] In a VirtualBox with 384MB of memory running `free -m -t` reports 365MB and /proc/meminfo is 365MB as well. Dmesg (dmesg | grep Memory) reports 383.9375 (393152kb/1024). [17:21] Any idea why dmesg is the only one that counts all of the memory? Bonus: What is the .7MB left over in dmesg being used for?

[17:31] ( it seems silly fast ) [17:31] aryklein: If you run out of memory would you rather swap or have processes killed? I prefer the latter [17:32] delinquentme: depends on whether the data is cached [17:32] delinquentme: ack or ag are faster than grep and easily hit such speeds if the cache is "hot" [17:32] mcphail: but what happens if there is not swap space? [17:32] hello, am having issues with configuring my local dns. I've setup my local box to over-ride dhcp settings with my local bind dns server as the dns server. But still, Ubuntu shows my gateway as one of the dns in /etc/resolv.conf. Please take a look at it here http://pastebin.com/fevkx2c0 [17:33] aryklein: processes get killed when memory is exhausted [17:33] mcphail TIL. ag [17:33] aryklein: I prefer that to chugging through swap space but it depends on your use case [17:33] But i really just need to figure out if a string is in for a one-off job through about 100 files [17:33] and im almost *sure* that string is represented in the binary data ... but for some reason im not getitng a match .... [17:34] delinquentme: grep doesn't search binary data by default (i think) [17:34] mcphail, right the --text or -a flag enables it. [17:34] mcphail: but what happens if it kills your apache proc? [17:35] Hi, I'm upgrading xubuntu. I left the machine upgrading, when I come back I saw a screen telling me the session is blocked, and I'll be redirected to the login dialog after a couple of seconds. But more than 30 minutes has passed and the same screen is there... Is there a way from the command line (from a tty) to know the process of the upgrade? [17:35] BTW, the upgrade was started from update-manager. === Eggs is now known as Guest82705 [17:36] aryklein: whatever script you use to monitor apache can bring it back up. That may be fine and better than the system grinding to a near halt when swapping [17:36] mcphail: ok! [17:37] delinquentme: have you run "strings" on the binary file and run it through grep. That sometimes catches things which grep misses [17:42] Anyone see this reported in your clamav logs today? .cache/mozilla/firefox/z4uo13jq.default/cache2/entries/1ED2E0355DA5DC1A2682900F50041965C647093C: Win.Trojan.Toopu-2 FOUN [17:43] Hello!

[18:19] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME [18:19] luist no need to remove, simply install gnome-shell, logout, switch, login... or install the gnome-flavor iso [18:19] MonkeyDust: im customizing the ISO so if im not going to use, might as well remove it [18:20] "it consumes hdd" [18:20] !mini | luist [18:20] luist: 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 [18:20] !notunity | luist [18:20] luist: 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. [18:21] luist installing the iso is faster, easier, cleaner than removing things [18:21] MonkeyDust: wow, that notunity factoid ought to be updated, mate is an official flavour now [18:21] MonkeyDust: what iso? gnome flavor? [18:21] auronandace sure is, and i'm loving it [18:21] luist yes [18:21] MonkeyDust: okay thanks [18:22] luist tip: backup first [18:22] MonkeyDust: this right: http://ubuntugnome.org/ [18:23] luist great, you found it [18:26] MonkeyDust: well.. this version comes with gnome but the default is still unity [18:26] MonkeyDust: i just noticed i tested it already [18:26] MonkeyDust: still need to get rid of unity and use gnome as default [18:27] luist now you know how, good luck [18:27] MonkeyDust: lol actually i went back to where i started [18:31] hello === vance is now known as Guest50789 [18:32] not sure if this is the right channel to ask but how would i go about figuring out why my fn+F6 combo (disable touchpad) outputs ± symbol to any availiable input screen ?

[19:40] I can run xterm from the text mode and output it to X, but can't move the terminal [19:40] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11100798/ [19:40] scoutmastershake: is there something in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ ? [19:41] nope [19:41] scoutmastershake: is this from a hosting company? could be that its blocking the server due to vm compatibility. [19:41] no this is on-premise [19:42] blib2: what desktop environment? [19:42] daftykins: lightdm? [19:42] If I restart it, gives me the login, then hangs [19:42] hey all. weird problem. i've recently updated java and now double clicking jar files no longer auto-run [19:42] nope that's not a DE [19:42] harishkrupo: OK. Can you boot an Ubuntu LiveDVD/USB via UEFI? (It's much easier to fix this while booted via UEFI). [19:42] daftykins: the regular one that comes standard - unity? [19:43] scoutmastershake: hmm. maybe try a "apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic" [19:43] yes [19:43] same error from apt-get -f install [19:43] Jordan_U, yes i can boot [19:44] blib2: ah right. tested the guest session? [19:44] daftykins: not yet [19:44] scoutmastershake: "apt-cache policy linux-image-generic" [19:44] harishkrupo: OK. Please do so, ensuring that your boot firmware boots the LiveDVD/USB via UEFI and tell me when you've booted. [19:44] you want the output? [19:44] daftykins: guest session has the same problem [19:45] scoutmastershake: yep [19:45] daftykins: guest session worked! [19:45] :O [19:45] daftykins: how do I get my user account to work? [19:45] check your ~ for any files not owned by you to start with [19:45] ls -al ~/ [19:45] Jordan_U, can you please continue with the tutorial i cannot boot into it right now but i will do it after a few hours [19:46] daftykins: chowned everything to user:user in the home [19:46] scoutmastershake: hmm [19:47] blib2: that wasn't very wise [19:47] can you explaine that outut and what it means? [19:47] any ideas why java runtime might be missing from my 'open with' menu? [19:47] blib2: anyway test that to see if there *was* anything not right [19:47] daftykins: didn't help [19:47] scoutmastershake: it links the package versions that the package versions sees and where they are from. [19:48] harishkrupo: Confirm that /sys/firmware/efi/ exists, which tells you that you're booted via UEFI. [19:49] scoutmastershake: the linux-image sees the 3.2.83.97 kernel image. but the linux-generic (mother package) got the 3.2.0.80.94 installed (which was installed manually?!) [19:49] Jordan_U, ok... [19:49] blib2: ok shotgun approach, mv ~/.config ~/.configold then restart lightdm and log in [19:49] I've always ran apt-get update then apt-get upgrade [19:50] besides that I don't do anything else this is an in production webserver [19:50] It looks like my dependency injection is getting stuck in a loop somewhere. How do I go about debugging where it is? The debug log doesn’t seem to help: http://laravel.io/bin/KkXLD [19:50] daftykins: No luck there - still hangs. [19:50] harishkrupo: sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/ && gksudo gedit /mnt/etc/fstab [19:50] blib2: really? was lightdm stopped when you ran the above move? === slinnky is now known as MILFHUNTER2000 [19:51] scoutmastershake: hmm. honestly i dont know how to get the linux-generic package to link to the right new kernel pacakge and not the old one when apt-get install -f doesnt work. [19:51] Jordan_U, ok [19:51] k1l_: scoutmastershake :: ' apt-mark showmanual | grep linux-image ' See if it held ??? [19:51] scoutmastershake: i would try to remove "linux-generic" (and see if it doesnt want to remove to much packages) and then install it again afterwards [19:51] daftykins: no [19:51] k lemme try that === MILFHUNTER2000 is now known as milfhunter2000 [19:53] daftykins: still no luck [19:54] yeah won't let me remove [19:54] blib2: ls -al ~/ | pastebinit [19:55] harishkrupo: This will open up a Gedit window containing your Ubuntu installation's /etc/fstab, we need to configure it to mount your EFI System Partition to /boot/efi/ by adding a line like the following: UUID=F654-402F /boot/efi/ vfat rw 0 2 [19:55] somebody could tell me a good channel for mint questions? [19:56] !mint | Moxi [19:56] Moxi: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [19:56] Jordan_U, ok, then? [19:57] harishkrupo: When you're done editing the /etc/fstab, save and exit Gedit. Then run the following: for dir in /dev /sys /proc; do sudo mount --bind "$dir" "/mnt/$dir/"; done && chroot /mnt/ [19:57] scoutmastershake: try to get rid of the old kernel packages with "dpkg --purge --force-all package" === milfhunter2000 is now known as MILFhunter2000 [19:58] Jordan_U, then? [19:58] harishkrupo: Then I type slowly :) [19:58] Jordan_U, sorry :P [19:59] Jordan_U, grub-install? [19:59] ok its letting me remove thos older kernel images [20:00] harishkrupo: Now you're chrooted into your installed Ubuntu system, any commands run here affect your installed system. Run "mount -a", then confirm that "mount | grep /boot/efi/" shows that /boot/efi/ is in fact mounted. Then "apt-get install grub-efi-amd64" then (though this may be redundant) "grub-install". Note that there is no argument to grub-install. [20:00] scoutmastershake: then run a "apt-get update" then try to reinstall the linux-generic package and see if it pulls the right kernels. [20:00] hmm guys, why i cant connect over ssh to a server, but i can connect with some ftp client over sftp 22nd port from some filezilla? this is ridiculous [20:00] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11101128/ [20:01] nope same error [20:01] scoutmastershake: if its still in a problem state do it again even for linux-generic package [20:01] scoutmastershake: if it doesnt want to remove the linux-generic try with dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq linux-generic [20:01] harishkrupo: Now you can check that there is an Ubuntu UEFI boot entry, and that it is the default, by looking at the output of "efibootmgr". If that looks correct then you're done, just reboot and Ubuntu's grub will load, in UEFI mode. [20:02] fucking a [20:02] Jordan_U, thank you very much i will do it as soon as i can get an ubuntu iso [20:03] scoutmastershake: need to leave for dinner now. maybe other can help from here. [20:03] no it wokred bro reinstalled the generic image [20:03] harishkrupo: If the download is just going to take a long time, you can use a much smaller Super GRUB2 Disk iso to boot your existing install via UEFI instead. [20:03] i have four 120GB IDE HDDs. is there a way to span them all as 1 volume and install ubuntu? [20:03] l [20:03] thanks for all the help === MILFhunter2000 is now known as Geust696969 [20:04] sunstar: sounds like a museum piece you have there, sure LVM or RAID [20:04] Jordan_U, no i dont have access to the internet connection( i am using mobile) right now so i will do it later, but thank you [20:04] blib2: pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors [20:04] sunstar: Do you really want to use 4 ancient drives with no redundancy? [20:05] yes [20:05] harishkrupo: You're welcome. [20:08] guys, I'm suddenly having problem starting up ubuntu 14.04 (which was installed ages ago) [20:08] lightdm crashes, because its greeter crashes. and the greeter crashes because of this error: "libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale" [20:09] i like to use my ubuntu laptop as an access point. i achieved to use it as router (hostapd, dnsmasq, udhcpd), but i want clients, which are connecting to my laptop-wifi, to get an ip from the real router to which the laptops lan interface is connected. how do i do this? only enable ip-forward and done? [20:10] I've looked everywhere for a solution. but the only instances in which I found this happening to Ubuntu users was when upgrading to 14.04, and having nvidia graphs (not at all my case). [20:10] cliffer, proably easiest to just bridge the two interfaces? [20:10] nils_: why is everybody calling me cliffer? isnt my nick briefchain? [20:10] cliffer, try ##networking [20:10] bazhang: thx, i jsut tried :) [20:11] cliffer, nope. That's the real name shown in /whois though [20:13] anyone? bueller? [20:13] hello all. gpg question? Came from archlinux, backed up keys. installed ubuntu. restored .gnupg directory in ~/ now gpg wont --list-keys? archlinux has the new gnupg format. what to do? Any ideas? [20:14] troubled_user: purge and reinstall lightdm? [20:15] daftykins: done that [20:15] in fact, gdm has the same problem [20:15] "libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale" [20:16] example pubring.kbx and private-keys-v1.d directory. [20:17] troubled_user: dpkg -l | grep cairo [20:17] (paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com - not here) [20:20] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11101429/ [20:20] blib2: see the problem? failed to load driver vboxvideo. [20:20] blib2: so, not only did you fail to mention this is a VM - but it's broken :) [20:21] daftykins: I have libcairo1.10-cil libcairo2 libcario2-dev licario-gobject2 libcairomm-1.0-1 libcairo-perl [20:21] I’m new to virtual machines, does Ubuntu have a GUI [20:22] pawansolanki: depends how you installed it [20:22] I’ve followed intructions in going about deploying a server and installed virtualbox/vagrant [20:22] Need to export keys from pubring.kbx file and import into ubuntus old gpg version [20:22] daftykins: sorry. Ineed it is a ubuntu guest on windows box + vbox [20:22] troubled_user: do you use many PPAs? [20:22] seems all i can do is SSH [20:23] blib2: run a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ; then reinstall the virtualbox guest addditions [20:23] trying to better understand this paradigm [20:23] -d [20:23] daftykins: I guess so [20:23] pawansolanki: what virtualisation tech, installed via what means? [20:23] troubled_user: could you be more specific? [20:24] daftykins: virtualbox and Vagrant init [20:24] troubled_user: does anything need to go on when you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? [20:24] daftykins: no, nothing [20:24] pawansolanki: then consult whatever you did with vagrant to install, that is not a normal installation process. [20:25] daftykins: I have ppas from trusted sources. omgubuntu, webup8 and icon providers [20:25] got myself a shiny new broadwell based notebook. I suppose splash isn't really working with that? [20:25] daftykins: did all that. Vboxlinuxadditions can't find kernel headers. I already install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) - ubuntu says its latests [20:26] troubled_user: do you use cairo dock? [20:26] daftykins: no. I don't. [20:26] daftykins: I take these libraries aren't specific to the dock, right? [20:26] pass [20:26] daftykins: otherwise I don't know why they'd be there [20:27] i'd nuke 'em and see what happens, then reinstall if not [20:27] wouldn't hurt to "sudo apt-get clean" prior to any further tries too [20:27] k [20:28] blib2: you know what i just said wasn't in reply to you? [20:28] Ill ask question in #archlinux they probably have a better idea whats going on. [20:28] troubled_user: try this: http://askubuntu.com/a/504489/31260 [20:28] blib2: does linux-headers-generic install? [20:28] lemme try [20:28] k1l_: troubled_user has mentioned not using nvidia hardware [20:28] so unless we're being lied to... :D [20:29] troubled_user: what video card is it then? [20:29] coolnuts24: dump them as asci keys and then import them? [20:29] hello [20:30] nils_: "splash"? [20:30] noob question [20:30] daftykins: it does install, but vbox still can't find the kernel headers [20:30] k1l_: a DELL one, I'm afraid [20:30] im visiting samsung website, and i noticed that https is not enabled [20:30] on firefox [20:30] blib2: find a guide perhaps [20:30] Jordan_U, graphical boot, I'm getting the text based (which is okay I guess), maybe I just fumbled too much with my grub options [20:30] i accidently removed my network connection icon in the upper right hand corner and can't get it back [20:31] is it safe to assume that my traffic is not encrypted [20:31] k1l_: came with my Inspiron [20:31] troubled_user: "a dell" doesnt tell anything about the used hardware" do a "lspci" and say what it says for the video hardware [20:31] troubled_user: wait what? ^ [20:31] MrElendig: Not sure how? I install gpg2 on ubunut. i would export but i cant even list keys. [20:31] nils_: Are you using proprietary drivers? Did you get a graphical boot splash when you installed Ubuntu initially? [20:31] export from arch ofcourse [20:31] anyone? [20:32] k1l_: the point was that it's definitely not an nvidia [20:32] uppers: Does running "nm-applet" bring it back? [20:33] troubled_user: there are inspirions with nvidia [20:33] Jordan_U, using OSS drivers, never got the boot splash (but I had to install via debootstrap) [20:33] nils_: Why did you have to install via debootstrap? [20:33] Jordan_U, ZFS root on luks encrypted disk [20:33] troubled_user: so please lets get to facts. what video card is it exactly? "lspci" will tell [20:33] k1l_: only desktops, right? [20:34] daftykins: no matter what I try - vbox won't recognize the kernel headers [20:34] k1l_: ok, one sec [20:34] blib2: ah well. i don't use vbox with a Linux guest [20:34] daftykins: how can I check if they are actually there? [20:34] dpkg -l | grep header [20:34] daftykins: do you use ubuntu's vbox guest additions? [20:34] nils_: Does your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub contain "quiet splash"? [20:35] blib2: you understand that becomes impossible once i don't use vbox with a Linux guest? [20:35] MrElendig: would love to. lol. dump from pubring.kbx with gpg2. Pulling man page up. [20:35] daftykins: I've 7 of them [20:35] coolnuts24: search for "export" [20:36] Jordan_U, nope, that was it, forgot to add that back, also didn't have a plymouth-theme installed, thank you. [20:36] err, ok [20:36] coolnuts24: also protio: print the key on some dead trees or clay tablets and store them somewhere safe too [20:36] need to reboot [20:36] bbl [20:36] coolnuts24: for any private keys in your keyring === Bray9082_ is now known as Bray90820 [20:36] nils_: You're welcome.

[21:21] gdm is also not working, complaining about the same unexisting symbol cairo_surface_set_device_scale [21:21] k1l_: oh, right. it's unity [21:22] troubled_user: make sure ubuntu-desktop is installed.

[21:30] troubled_user: the cairo in /usr/local/lib is being used, instead of the correct one in /usr/lib [21:30] greyback_: oh [21:31] greyback_: yeah. ls-ing the folder shows lots of libcairo files [21:31] 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] troubled_user: it's not a good idea to install stuff in /usr/local/ unless you're *very* careful [21:31] greyback_: did I do that? :O [21:32] nils_: ok, then I guess something went fubar on my end with the packages when trying oibaf and/or xorg-edgers [21:32] troubled_user: greyback_ maybe a ppa did that [21:32] 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 package [21:32] got any hint of how to easily restore drivers and stuff to ubuntu 15.04 original? [21:32] 'drivers and stuff' [21:32] k1l_: it is quite likely, but bad practice [21:32] well xorg + inteldrivers [21:33] Apachez, 4k is a bit sluggish while compiling at the same time though ;) [21:33] and whatever else oibaf or xorg-edgers might have replaced but ppa-purge missed to restore? [21:33] Apachez: did you run the 01.org intel installer =/ [21:33] nils over here 720p drops to 5-10 fps unless I disable hwaccell in chrome [21:33] daftykins: 01.org is the same as current 15.04 [21:33] greyback_, k1l_, dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/local/lib/libcairo.so.2 [21:33] or rather... 01.org has no installer for 15.04 [21:33] that was not what my question was [21:34] good stuff [21:34] or you mean im supposed to run the intel installer who refuse to run on 15.04? ;) [21:34] no, i always say to never run that junk [21:34] 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] daftykins: well I havent [21:35] the mistake I did was to try out oibaf and then xorgedgers [21:35] Apachez: well we established that :) [21:35] troubled_user: I suggest moving those libraries in /usr/local/lib into a backup folder somewhere [21:35] greyback_: yes, actually. I compiled iojs [21:35] but even when restoring with ppa-purge its still sluggish with hwaccel enabled in chrome [21:35] WAIT [21:35] motherfu*r [21:35] why iojs wants cairo is beyond me [21:35] greyback_: I know what it is! I compiled node-canvas. [21:36] greyback_: "Node canvas is a Cairo backed Canvas implementation for NodeJS" [21:36] troubled_user: there we go. [21:36] man, I should've known... [21:36] oh, the shame [21:37] when the ubuntu supports end, apt-get isnt able to find any packages anymore. why not just leave these package and just dont provide updates? [21:37] greyback_: how do I fix it? [21:37] nice spot greyback_ [21:37] !eol | timg__ [21:37] timg__: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [21:37] timg__, there is a way to get old updates, see !eolupgrade [21:37] anyone here experienced setting up the @ubuntu.com alias? yes, I am a member [21:37] troubled_user: install node-canvas somewhere not-system critical [21:37] timg__: there is no sense in running a ubuntu without support. [21:38] timg__: your system got security issues a 8 year old can break in. [21:38] it is just for upgrade purposes. [21:38] troubled_user: I don't know node too well, sorry, you'll need to figure that out yourself [21:38] k1l_: thanks :) === Rudench is now known as Shnaw [21:38] greyback_: ok, but moving the files should work? [21:38] gsilva: you meant the freenode cloak? [21:38] troubled_user: yes [21:38] gsilva: or do you mean the email stuff? [21:38] k1l_, no the @ubuntu.com [21:39] yeah, the email stuff [21:39] I mean, I was able to set it up but, for some reason, I can't send emails. I can receive them, but not sending them [21:39] Any idea? [21:39] gsilva: that is done automatic on launchpad.net . there is a howto anywhere on the memeber wiki pages [21:39] I know - The set-up was done without any issue, but I can't send emails === Munt_ is now known as Munt [21:39] I've activated the alias as I was supposed to do [21:40] greyback_, k1l_, lightdm is back, ladies [21:40] gsilva: i would ask the #launchpad guys [21:40] troubled_user: uhhh you're welcome [21:40] looks like nils_ went to sleep [21:40] okay, thank you. Will give it a try :) [21:40] :( [21:41] Apachez, brb === Eggs is now known as Guest63826 [21:42] gsilva, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail [21:42] Already took care of that, OerHeks [21:42] I'm a regular contributor, not a newcomer :P But thanks though [21:44] k1l_, greyback_, thanks, folks [21:44] k1l_, greyback_ no longer troubled_man :) [21:44] f3lp: welcome! [21:53] I'm trying to compile a c++ app I was given and am missing header file Logg.h ... I can't remember off the top of my head is there anyway to search packages to find out which one has this header file? [21:53] hello. i installed ubuntu *live disk* on my usb drive using lili. i don't know how to remove it from my usb drive, now. any ideas? [21:54] will try to revoke from xorgedgers [21:54] I have an existing system on a different processor where this is installed and can search the installed packages on that system, if that's easier [21:54] timg__, i ask the same question. doesnt make any sense to me [21:55] webnet: i just wanted to know. [21:55] HI! [21:55] cheetahw26_, the easiest way is to search on packages.ubuntu.com === Juan5050 is now known as juan4040 [21:56] tsoutseki: just format the usb-drive [21:56] cheetahw26_, there is "search contents of packages" [21:56] cheetahw26_, liblogg4-dev probably. [21:56] k1l_, uh, i'll have to copy many files. i guess i will do that. thanks. :) [21:57] thanks... that helped [21:57] Wooo! [21:57] finally have something good working on my old midnight box [21:57] I thought it was liblogg, but that's not on the other system and doesn't appear to be available in arm [21:57] timg__, i thinkg the rationale behind it is to urge people to upgrade [21:59] if i had to guess its their way of saying hey, tim eor have to back up everything and junk all your programs and configs and upgrade to the new version so you can spend 6 months getting it just right, just in time ofr use ot yank the rep carpet out from under you again. [21:59] *time to [21:59] cheetahw26_, yeah seems to be amd64/i386 only [21:59] *for us to yank [22:00] boy my fingers are fatter than usual while typing today [22:04] hi. i'm having trouble tracking down some odditites in what should have been an ordinary start script [22:04] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11102667/ [22:04] has anyone tried messing around with google voice and pidgin?

[22:41] apt-cache policy package [22:42] its showing me this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11103150/ [22:43] sup [22:47] est31: then it's not coming from a PPA [22:48] ok [22:52] because what wonders me is that vlc shows its version 2.2.0+ppa2.4 [22:53] apt-cache policy vlc gives me 2.2.0-1 as installed [22:53] but when I type "vlc" in bash [22:53] I get VLC media player 2.2.0-rc1 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.0+ppa2.4) [22:53] "type vlc" gives /usr/bin/vlc [22:54] and dpkg -S /usr/bin/vlc gives "vlc-nox: /usr/bin/vlc" [22:54] shouldn't one be able to just use the Sound Settings to switch between headset and speakers without unplugging them each time [22:54] apt-cache policy vlc-nox shows me 2.2.0-1 too [22:54] yes you are abled to [22:55] vlc-nox, are you running a headless machine ? [22:55] I think I broke my VM setup. :) [22:55] no [22:55] est31, then install vlc, and remove vlc-nox. [22:55] I'm running on kde if that matters [22:55] est31, i know, you are crossposting [22:56] anyone has installed ubuntu on their external hdd + mac's recently here? 14.04.2? [22:57] blib: Try asking your actual question, and if anyone can help they will. [22:57] ok that 2.2.0+ppa2.4 stuff is then a bug then I guess [22:58] est31, it comes from a ppa: mc3man [22:59] use ppa-purge to remove it and reverse to regular vlc [22:59] Jordan_U: Can I install ubuntu from my windows machine to an external drive, and then boot into that ubuntu on mac? [23:00] OerHeks, I don't even know which ppa it is [23:00] ah [23:00] est31, i gave you the name [23:01] lemme see what ppa-purge sais [23:01] blib: 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). [23:02] Jordan_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 drive === lenny is now known as boxbot2000 === boxbot2000 is now known as lenny [23:03] blib: Is your Windows machine UEFI based?

[23:07] OerHeks, this command doesnt give me mc3man: grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | sed '/#/d' [23:07] only wine and minetest ppas [23:07] and I'm very sure minetest ppa doesnt contain vlc [23:07] est31, then you have removed it already, without removing packages. add it again and use ppa-purge [23:08] mc3man is the only vlc ppa i know. [23:08] Hey all [23:09] I would like to join the firefox IRC [23:09] Do you know how I can do this? [23:09] jamieb, you are on the wrong network [23:09] https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC [23:09] oh sorry.
