[00:00] EriC^^, write for the Bios partition? [00:00] Travisty: I see no fault with the sources.list .. should run, so let's see if we can find the why not. Is 'dpkg' in a happy state ' dpkg -l dpkg ' ; returns -> "ii dpkg" ?? [00:00] daftykins: haha, yes as have I. All is well, I shall persevere and look for alternative assistance. Thanks again === ricardolima is now known as riclima [00:00] Guest97876: yeah, it should write the new partitions [00:01] daftykins: I will take a look at it. I was planning to dual-boot it alongside other OS, but I want it to run smoothly [00:01] azizLIGHT: I think you can disable it with the "unity tweak tool", you can find it in the software centre [00:01] ok, it says are you sure you wantt o write the partition table to disk (yes or no) [00:01] im assuming yes, for both the bios one AND the efi one? [00:01] Guest97876: yes [00:02] ok, the two of them are written. whats next. [00:02] Guest97876: launch the installer [00:02] AWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAH [00:02] and when it asks about installing, press on Something else [00:02] for ubntu? [00:02] its ok that i have this 465.5 gigs of free space though? i dont need to do anything about that? [00:02] Bashing-om: I’m not sure how to read the output: http://termbin.com/uob2 [00:03] I guess that looks like it does the right thing [00:03] Guest97876: you can continue partitioning in the installer and set the mountpoints [00:04] ok, im just waiting for the installer now... [00:04] nothing seems to be happening so im a LITTLE bit worried... [00:05] xangua: ah nice. i changed the keyboard shortcut for it [00:05] xangua: thanks! [00:05] a need good software to catch podcast [00:05] any suggestions? === goldblum_ is now known as goldblum [00:06] rythmbox comes preinstalled [00:06] Eric, do you know what the problem is here? [00:06] on Ubunutu at least [00:06] thx xangua [00:06] Guest97876: give it time [00:06] Guest97876: try pressing ctrl+alt+f1, then alt+f7, also as daftykins said [00:07] i'll give it four more minutes [00:08] daftykins: ubuntu website says 512 MiB RAM is the minimum, so I assume 2GB would be fine for it [00:08] granddan: ah they are still lying then :( [00:08] daftykins: oh, really? :( [00:08] xangua: i changed the invoke hud command from alt to f5, but its still minimizing the game, and opening the menu [00:09] granddan: yep, that'll just be the minimum to install - but not to enjoy [00:09] i would just diable it if that bothers you azizLIGHT [00:09] ok, when i thit ctrlaltf1, and then alt f7, should i just pres them or hold them down? i dont want to risk ruining anything [00:09] that's what I thought you wanted anyways [00:09] how do you disable it. i can only change the keystrokes [00:09] er, keyboard shortucts [00:09] mmmm thought there was an option to disable it [00:09] guest just wait and 5 minutes u will have fresh ubuntu! [00:09] Guest97876: just press them [00:10] Does a default install of LTS Server ever make any outbound network connections by itself? (Checking for updates or something?) -- I'm thinking of hooking up a GPRS modem (with WvDial) and I don't want to waste the expensive bandwidth. [00:10] i dont mind waiting but im worried its not launching at all? like its just sitting at my desktop as if nothing ever happened [00:11] how do I check the chmod status of a specific folder or file via terminal? [00:11] it will work [00:11] frank1e: ls -l /path/to/file , or stat /path/to/file [00:12] OK ctrl alt f1 sent me to this black screen where text is scrolling down the screen REALLY FAST, alt f7 isnt doing anything [00:12] it says "-rw------- 1 root root 4583960 Mai 5 18:55 ./bitcoind [00:12] " EriC^^ is that good for my bitcoin wallet data? (= is it safe?) [00:13] Someone said 600 would be good [00:13] Guest97876: ok, try pressing alt+prntscrn+s, then alt+prntscrn+u, then alt+prntscrn+b [00:13] ( it should be prntscrn/sysRq ) [00:13] btw I can now not access the application anymore [00:14] xangua: i got it: http://www.gog.com/support/octodad_dadliest_catch/the_alt_key_throws_me_back_to_my_desktop_in_ubuntu [00:14] xangua: its in the built in settings, not unity tweak tool [00:14] eric, alt print screen b took me back to the ubuntu installation thing and back to the kernel error ): [00:14] it rebooted [00:15] Guest97876: ok, go to grub, this time type configfile (hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg and select install ubuntu [00:16] daftykins: could you take a look at my syst requirements to see if ubuntu would run smoothly? [00:16] granddan: sure, write them up on http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:17] ugh god, i cant even get back to grub now! [00:17] crap [00:18] all my boot options take me to the ubuntu thing that eventually takes me to the kernel panic error! [00:18] memtest [00:18] should i try unplugging the usb and going to grub? [00:19] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11196207/ :) [00:19] i'd be running the memory test program at this point if i were you, but i don't want to tread on EriC^^ 's toes [00:19] Travisty: : Fpjg looks in good sjape .. do we have basic internet connectivity ' wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12.20-trusty/linux-headers-3.12.20-031220_3.12.20-031220.201405160935_all.deb ' ? If successful we discard this download . [00:19] i had ran it earlier and it seemed to work fine [00:19] granddan: is it one of those cheap "Windows 8.1 with Bing" machines? [00:20] Guest97876: try running the memtest [00:20] that is highly insulting [00:20] daftykins: yes, you're right [00:20] Guest97876: and download another iso on another pc as it runs [00:20] ok [00:20] i have an iso downloaded upstairs [00:20] daftykins, try not to be so insulting [00:20] bbl [00:20] its 15.04 though [00:20] LMNOP_: and upon what message do you think i'm being insulting? [00:21] Bashing-om: Yes, it appears to be downloading without any trouble [00:21] Hello [00:22] Bashing-om: Download finished successfully [00:22] I have a problem with the radeon driver its blacklisted and im running from livecd. How do i unblacklist it? [00:22] ok eric, im doing the memtest, its on test 3 and its at pass 1%, this is probably going to take a really long time, right? [00:22] Is it possible to format a partition as HFS in ubuntu [00:22] HFS+ [00:23] daftykins: do you think it'd run Ubuntu smoothly? [00:23] brainproxy, try gparted [00:23] Guest97876: i guess, can you download another iso until it finishes? [00:23] maybe it supports it [00:23] daftykins: or do you have another distro to recommend to me? [00:23] ok, is 15.04 ok? [00:23] Guest97876: it's up to you, sure [00:23] Bray90820, ^^^ [00:23] i just want to be sure it wont cause a problem [00:23] granddan: did you mean to ping me [00:24] granddan: as i say, use xubuntu for a better experience :) [00:24] Bray90820: I didn't ping you [00:24] Guest97876: ok [00:24] guys on desktop how do u control brightness? [00:24] is there n applet? [00:24] ill be right back, i have to log onto another computer [00:25] I have a problem with the radeon driver its blacklisted and im running from livecd. How do i unblacklist it? please [00:26] daftykins: what about kubuntu? :) [00:26] granddan: worse than ubuntu [00:26] I don't think you can control the brightness of an external monitor. [00:26] granddan: but there's no reason you can't just download them all, put them on a flash drive and try them out [00:26] folks how to install sublime text via apt get? [00:26] KDE and Unity are the two most heavyweight desktops. [00:26] whats the package name? [00:27] LeEarl: Are you saying I should use gparted [00:27] pokeymantrainer, the brightness of the vga card [00:27] Hey, It's me (the user who's currently running the memtest) [00:27] daftykins: it'd be my first time trying linux, i wanna be sure to have a good and stable experience [00:28] user2112: wb [00:28] daftykins: I think win 8.1 won't allow ubuntu's live preview [00:28] so, while im running the memtest, should i remove my USB drive and put the 15.04 iso on it? [00:28] granddan: there's no way to guarantee that, it's possible you won't even have working wifi. [00:28] granddan: no that's 100% false, it can work fine [00:28] Huh, just figured out how to fix my system that kept corrupting my usb drives making em unmountable half way through the install. . .all it took was installing windows and then updating it and then it let me install ubuntu server again for some reason no issues [00:29] Bray90820, http://agacho.blogspot.fr/2011/08/format-disk-with-hfs-using-gparted-on.html === Zanzacar is now known as Zanzabar [00:29] daftykins: why wouldn't wifi work? [00:29] done [00:29] how do I check to see if a kernel level driver is installed? I need to check for PPS for the GPS [00:30] granddan: i mean potentially, just download and try :) you have a spare USB flash drive right? [00:30] user2112: ok, if you want my personal opinion i think you should try to get the bios working properly [00:31] daftykins: win 8.1 doesn't allow booting from a usb drive for example, it has locked the UEFI [00:31] granddan: you never responded as to whether this is 8.1 with Bing or not [00:31] user2112: cause it seems borked right now, and maybe you need to boot a live usb someday to fix your install/grub and you can't cause it wont boot in uefi or legacy mode anything [00:31] user2112: try making the new iso and see if it boots in legacy mode [00:31] daftykins: yes, i can free up a flash drive, and yes it is ( i did answer before) :) [00:32] user2112: if it doesn't then i'd try to download the updates bios firmware and update the bios [00:33] granddan: ah didn't see. you might have booting issues then [00:33] EriC^^: gparted doesn't let me [00:33] Bray90820: ? [00:33] IDK if I can creat an HFS partition on my sistem drive [00:33] daftykins: yes, it is a win 8.1 single language with bing [00:33] I have a file which I can not edit, open or delete. how do I delete it ? [00:34] granddan: you'll have to use 15.04 as i think they may've worked around the installer issues by now. do you get many options in the EFI settings screens? [00:34] (e.g. disable secure boot) [00:34] Travisty: Benn think;n , every thing looks good, must be a package management problem . what returns ' apt-get -f install ; sudo dpkg -C ' ? [00:34] benn/been* [00:34] anyone? [00:35] Bray90820, http://agacho.blogspot.fr/2011/08/format-disk-with-hfs-using-gparted-on.html [00:35] daftykins: i heard this issue is fixed even in 14.04 version. do you mean when turning on the computer? [00:35] LeEarl: It's an internal drive and HFS is grayed out [00:35] granddan: the 32-bit EFI image trickery? yeah the BIOS/EFI screens when pressing a function key / delete key to enter [00:36] Any suggestions for clipboard managers? Ease of use is most important and features are next(multiple copy and paste with nice default shortcuts). [00:36] might not matter if it's fixed though, you might just have to fight the EFI to allow it [00:36] EriC^^, can you PM me? that way i can see all the messages without having to go hunting for them [00:36] Bray90820, sudo apt-get install hfsprogs [00:36] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/rmde [00:36] then try [00:37] Bashing-om: I added sudo to the apt-get command [00:37] user2112: no, it's better on the channel as others can catch any mistakes [00:37] daftykins: I think the trusted os signature. Nope, i only see the manufacture's logo and right after that, windows boots [00:38] granddan: you have to power windows 8 off properly, with "shutdown -s -t 1" [00:38] daftykins: what is "-s -t 1"? [00:38] ah, ok [00:39] I'll go ahead and make the 15.04 Iso now. [00:39] LeEarl: I had already done that but for some reason it works now [00:39] user2112: ok [00:39] Bray90820, great :] [00:39] I can go ahead and delete EVERYTHING from the USB, right? [00:40] has anyone tried the .net core release on ubuntu? [00:40] user2112: yeah [00:40] user2112: how are you making the live usb? [00:40] Universal USB Installer [00:40] user2112: try lili, linux live usb creator [00:41] i tried earlier but there was a weird problem that wouldnt let me continue, ill try it again though [00:41] but i SHOULD clear the usb first, right? [00:41] Bashing-om: Is there any chance that it is an issue with the way my dns nameservers or whatever are set up? [00:41] user2112: yeah format it [00:42] Travisty: Yuk, Getting my goat, as I can not see to isolate where to look . What now ' sudo apt-get update ' ? [00:42] LeEarl: Can i mount it and add it to fstab [00:42] granddan: run "shutdown /?" to find out [00:43] Travisty: "dns nameservers" are you going through a proxy ? Maybe blocking ? [00:43] Bray90820, dunno ;D [00:43] Bashing-om: I haven’t set up a proxy, but I do have a router [00:43] It says that This linux is not in the compatability list, howver, lnuxlive usb creator will try to use the same install parameters as for Ubunutu 15.04 Vivid Vervet [00:43] daftykins: should I run it using cmd? [00:44] which makes sense, but i have a red traffic light on Step 1 for some odd reason, even though i have my usb selected [00:44] Bashing-om: could it be a configuration thing there? [00:44] granddan: yep [00:44] user2112: ok, try to select the usb and format it and then start lili again [00:44] Bashing-om: running sudo apt-get update produces this text http://termbin.com/kcg4 and then never changes [00:44] (I’ve let it run for 15 minutes or so) [00:45] Travisty: As you can ping and DNS to ubuntu.com does resolve. nope I can not see it as a router issue. [00:45] daftykins: i think it has to do with windows quickboot [00:45] granddan: correct [00:45] and shutting down properly instead of hybrid shutdown [00:45] Bashing-om: Yeah - that is what I was thinking also, but it’s very surprising to me that after a completely fresh install the problem persists [00:46] daftykins: so, shutting down through cmd would show bios options? [00:46] please b my friend [00:46] Bashing-om: does it matter that it's using ipv6? [00:46] joelee: This is a support channel, please just ask your question. [00:46] that works. how much persistence should i give it from 0 to 4090 MB [00:46] no [00:47] user2112: none [00:47] Travisty: Agreed, from the last, seems that the system is not seeing the acknowledgement from the server ... hummm . think'n again . [00:47] Travisty: Do you actually have IPv6 connectivity? [00:47] granddan: it would power off properly, thus giving the ability to power on and press the correct key for your system to enter the EFI [00:47] tonyyarusso, EriC^^: How can I chekc that I have IPv6 connectivity? [00:47] daftykins: what about partitioning? Would ubuntu (or other ubuntu flavor) manage it for me? [00:48] Travisty: ping6 www.google.com, for instance. [00:48] EriC^^: Maybe it is an ipv6 issue ?? I am not at all up to how 6 works . I bet though when we look 'ifconfig' there is an ipv4 address (??) . [00:49] daftykins: because i know a hd shouldn't have more than 4 partitions, and i'm sure it has 4 [00:49] tonyyarusso: Yeah, so that seems to lose all the packets [00:49] !manual | granddan this should be a great resource to get you going, but just testing it out in a live session will be a worthwhile first goal [00:49] granddan this should be a great resource to get you going, but just testing it out in a live session will be a worthwhile first goal: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [00:49] granddan: nah that's old non-EFI talk :) EFI systems can have plenty [00:50] Travisty: So most likely what's happening is that you're getting AAAA records returned to your DNS query, so APT figures you must have IPv6, and tries to use it. [00:50] granddan: i would use windows 8 to resize its' own partition prior to installing any *buntu [00:50] tonyyarusso: Ah, would it be something in my configuration that causes the mismatch? Is there a way to force APT to use IPv4? [00:51] daftykins: the biggest partition? Could i use the windows partition manager? [00:51] granddan: yep i'd run diskmgmt.msc and resize C: [00:51] Also, what determines IPv6 connectivity? Is it my hardware, ISP, or some combination? Currently I am using some cheap USB wireless card thing since I don’t have an ethernet cable long enough to run from my router to my computer [00:51] Travisty: Try running your apt-get command with -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true to test if that's it, and if so, yeah, you can add it to a config file. [00:51] Travisty, in the network icon click edit then u can disable ip6 [00:51] Travisty: ISP generally. [00:52] tonyyarusso: So yeah, that works [00:52] daftykins: how much could i give it? 40Gb? [00:52] granddan: the above manual would be best for all such questions perhaps :) i'm gonna watch a TV episode now. but yeah see how much you can shrink Windows by first, 250GB is tiny [00:52] Travisty: Awesome. You can create a file at eg. /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99force-ipv4 and just put Acquire::ForceIPv4 "true"; in it. [00:52] daftykins: if ubuntu runs smoothly in the live session, does it mean it'll run the same in a full instalation? [00:53] feel free to experiment [00:53] daftykins: thank you very much for the help! [00:53] you may well have higher tolerances for poor performance than me :) [00:53] no worries [00:53] tonyyarusso: I will do that - is this likely to cause problems with other applications? Is there a way to make it a system-wide setting? [00:54] daftykins: yeah, i'll try out some things first, and i wanted ubuntu because of the unity desktop [00:54] daftykins u didnt have to say 'upon' in your question but here it is. granddan: is it one of those cheap "Windows 8.1 with Bing" machines? [00:55] Bashing-om, EriC^^, tonyyarusso: Thanks a ton for all your help. This is my first time in #ubuntu and it was a very pleasant experience [00:55] maybe he likes windows and no reason to bash that [00:55] Travisty: This looks like a plausible answer to that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/32298/prefer-a-ipv4-dns-lookups-before-aaaaipv6-lookups [00:55] guys I locked myself out of permission from a folder and a file. any ideas how to fix that? chmod 600 on that specific folder doesnt work. [00:55] LMNOP_: i did given my own command of the English language. That is a diagnostic question, not an insulting one. 8.1 with Bing has a bootloader quirk which makes installing Linux harder. Now stop second guessing me when you have no clue. [00:55] ok eric, the memory test is at like 90%, and the usb drive is ready [00:55] and saying 'cheap' ? [00:55] frank1e: Have you tried doing it as root? [00:55] user2112: great [00:56] highly deragatory [00:56] LMNOP_: do not waste my time again. [00:56] do not be so insulting this is a help channel remember [00:56] ArgentWarrior, How can I do that? [00:56] q [00:56] i [00:57] español loco [00:57] frank1e: Try doing "sudo nautilus" and changing the perms through the "properties" menu [00:58] chupame la pija [00:58] I just got a bit worried about some things, such as 'the wifi might not work' [00:58] is [00:58] tonyyarusso: Great, thanks :) After making the change suggested by that link everything works without the apt.conf.d file [00:58] granddan: that's jut a guess, just get it booting and see what works :) [00:58] daftykins, maybe he is impecunious but that gives you not the right to look down.

[01:04] again you are on the fihg horse i get it [01:04] high* [01:04] alright, memory test done, no errors. just tell me what to do [01:05] user2112: ok, boot the live usb [01:05] I don't know what you two are doing, but it's not Ubuntu support. [01:05] hehe, I just hope to have a nice running linux distro :) [01:05] indeed [01:06] tonyyarusso: troll antics, nothing to see here :) [01:06] back to topic [01:06] daftykins, is beyond reproach... nothing new.

[01:14] yeah, its a black screen [01:14] theres a mouse cursor [01:14] Ubuntu 20.04-BC [01:14] its a mostly grey screen, theres a gear at the top, i can either suspend, restart, or shut dow [01:15] user2112: try to press ctrl+alt+f1, then alt+f7 [01:15] if you say so [01:15] fast scrolling test, alt f7 does nothing [01:15] text* [01:16] user2112: ok, reboot and when you get the menu to install or try, if there are options at the bottom press f6 or what it is for boot options and select nomodeset [01:17] theres no options [01:17] its a grub type thingie, i can hit c to go into command line again like before [01:18] user2112: ok, press e [01:18] Is there a way to get KDE5 up and running without risking borking Unity? [01:18] ok [01:18] over the install ubuntu menu [01:18] ArgentWarrior, to be safe, install side-by-side [01:20] ok, what do i change [01:20] hey hi people [01:20] user2112: add nomodeset at the line that says linux /.... quiet splash -- [01:21] quiet splash nomodeset -- [01:21] just add it at the end of the ---? space after it or no [01:22] linux /.... quiet splash nomodeset -- [01:22] looool [01:22] somebody hear me??

[01:23] i have a question [01:24] what process represent "dpkg" [01:24] when i use apt.... sometime appear var/lib/dpkg/lock is used? [01:24] ok, i did that and hit f10 since it said hit f10 to boot and nothing about saving changes, and its loading up ubuntu now [01:24] somebody help me?? [01:25] !aptlock [01:25] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:25] and back to the fast scrolling text [01:25] lemaster, that could happen when you have synaptic/softwarecenter open, and tried to install something tru terminal [01:26] i try stop that, oerheks [01:27] but.. sometime i search the process in task manager and i dont fine the /var/lib/dpkg/lock [01:28] lemaster, it is not a process, just a file that creates a lock. [01:29] if it exists, no other process can put a lock, ergo then you get that error [01:30] uh oh, turned it off and now it wont turn on [01:31] nevermind, bad power source [01:33] user2112: hmm [01:34] ok, its back to the greyish screen with a working mouse cursor [01:34] and the gear setting in the top left corner [01:34] should i let it sit [01:34] yeah i guess [01:35] hi [01:36] hi [01:36] ok, my desktop's wifi magically started working again, im going to move it, ill log back on in a moment [01:37] quelqu'un comprend Francais ici ?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:01] ok. i deleted windows from my pc and downloaded ubuntu on it.. when i go to gparted.. i can't happen to partition [03:02] moefo, your question is not clear [03:02] moefo: what are you hoping to achieve? [03:03] my hard disk is 1tb. I am trying to partition it .. [03:03] bcuz right now ubuntu is using 991 gb [03:03] moefo: so you want to end up with Windows *and* Ubuntu in a dual boot? [03:03] you should really start again and put Windows first [03:03] well, windows has been deleted completely [03:04] but yeah, i would like to have more than 1 os [03:04] which Windows was it? [03:04] windows 8.1 [03:04] you can download it from the Microsoft site [03:04] my main concern is the partitioning [03:05] moefo, if you intend to put Windows back onto your computer later it will be more difficult. [03:05] there's no point resizing ubuntu if you've got nothing else to put in the space you make available [03:05] so i don't really understand your request [03:05] sorry yeah i know its complicating [03:05] more so pointless i'd say :) [03:05] well, we all were noobs at a point [03:05] and i'm a native speaker. so easy mate:P [03:05] moefo, why not just create your partition using the ubuntu installer? [03:06] it's not about being a noob or not, i just don't know what you want to achieve :) [03:06] I want to have more than one partition. [03:06] How clear can i be ? [03:06] neldogz: i dont know how that works [03:06] right but what other OS are you gonna put on? 'cause if you want Windows now would be the ideal time to nuke the lot and put Windows first [03:07] Ok. So lets say i put windows first [03:07] mmhmm [03:07] moefo, daftykins is correct about Windows.. If you intend to put windows on later then you should do it first onto its own partition before you try to install Ubuntu [03:07] so I install windows on the '1tb' [03:07] moefo, even if your not going to use it now [03:07] you would either resize C: after install, or install (during Windows setup) to a partition smaller than the full disk [03:07] then after that i do the partitioning? [03:07] evening folks [03:08] 7, 8 and 10's installer all offer the ability to partition during setup [03:08] moefo, yes correct [03:08] can an ubuntu noob ask a couple obvious questions? [03:08] Lurchy, go for it [03:08] alright. the thing is, last time i tried.. it said i can't partition [03:08] moefo: what did? the ubuntu installer? [03:09] nah i booted from a cd with windows on it [03:09] I realize I should set a static IP on my Ubuntu server that is behind my NETGEAR router.....what ports shoud I route to it right off the bat? [03:09] 22 for telnet...222 for ssh [03:09] what elese [03:09] but to be honest, it wasn't an official version. windows doesn't have free ones right? [03:09] this is for a fresh install [03:09] Lurchy, depends on what client facing applications you have [03:09] moefo: run the terminal application from ubuntu right now and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit" [03:09] I can always add more ports in the future [03:09] moefo: sure does [03:09] Lurchy, 22 for SSH will get you access to the box, I would stick with just that.. No need for telnet [03:10] moefo: you need to do this from a machine running Windows though by the looks - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media [03:10] ok...I have used putty for playing nethack...but never for shell [03:11] can someone recommend a good reference site for basic shell commands? [03:11] alright, lemme check [03:11] that are organized with ubuntu in mind [03:11] !manual | Lurchy [03:11] daftykins: how about if i do that with vmware on windows? u know what i mean ? [03:11] Lurchy: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [03:12] I am having trouble connecting to wifi spots with my new laptop. It tries to connect and then fails. Is there a good way to get some debug information from the network manager to figure out what is going wrong? [03:12] drakedouay: i thing dmesg or syslog gives more [03:12] ubuntu client is fairly straightforward....just command line I am a bit rusty...been like 15-20 years since I used em [03:13] moefo: depends if you intend to burn a DVD or make up a flash drive [03:13] ubottu...is that for client of server? [03:13] flash drive [03:13] Lurchy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:13] lol./... [03:13] * Lurchy slaps ubottu around a bit with a large trout [03:13] moefo: so as long as you're familiar with passing through the drive to the VM that might work sure [03:13] Lurchy: its for everything [03:13] thank....bots are good [03:14] alright [03:14] thanks :-) [03:14] thanks alot btw and sorry for confusing ya [03:14] oh btw, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media [03:14] nvm [03:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11198457/ daftykins [03:14] people needing help often come to us asking what they want to do, not what they need to do :) [03:15] is there an easy way to backup my installs of ubuntu and restore if I screw something up? [03:15] moefo: some kind of OS X disc in the drive there 0o [03:15] yeah [03:15] lol forgot to remove it [03:15] Lurchy, i use clonezilla for that [03:15] planning to hackintosh? [03:15] hahaha [03:15] clonezilla....is linux or windows client? [03:16] +1 to clonezilla [03:16] Lurchy: OS agnostic [03:16] it can be run from bootable media, based on debian it is [03:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11198535/ [03:16] [03:16] there [03:16] Lurchy, its a bootable cd or usb image, take a complete image of your disk or partition and back it up somewhere [03:16] ahh [03:16] USB bootable then would be convienent [03:17] back up to drive on same system or network backup? [03:17] Lurchy, just a note it does not create images of RAID arrays [03:17] Lurchy: both [03:17] ^^ [03:17] okie.... [03:18] if you're skilled enough with Linux you can do pretty much anything at the live session level CLI to mount storage then backup to it [03:18] obviously speed would be a factor then [03:18] lol....im great in windows.....newbie in linux [03:19] im trying tho [03:19] we're all fighting the same dragons i think really [03:19] daftykins: thanks... trying that now [03:19] Fighting dragons is fun. [03:20] if I mirrored my dual 2tb archive drive in my win7 machine....can I mount them easily in ubuntu and still mirrow them? or can I raid them without moving the glut of media I hav eon them? [03:20] err mirror [03:21] Lurchy, is this a RAID array? [03:21] no [03:21] I used the win7 util [03:21] I want to raid them [03:21] Lurchy, you used the Windows disk management to mirror 2 drives? [03:21] correct neldogz [03:21] diskmgmt.msc? [03:22] that'll be some nasty software not-even-RAID [03:22] Lurchy, mirrored drives are mirrored drives.. Basically you will be able to mount them in Ubuntu and view your data but they will no longer be mirrored. You an however setup a Software Raid in Ubuntu [03:22] well...I booted to ubuntu client from a usb and saw the drive and media folders [03:23] you might've seen two though :) [03:23] and played a film clip [03:23] correct dafty [03:23] I saw both drives [03:23] so yeah they weren't mirrored then [03:23] changes to one would not be made to the second [03:23] ^^ [03:23] unless Windows would somehow notice after and then catch up, but that'd be sub-optimal [03:24] so the issue I thought is when you mirror dont you wipe them first....I thought I read that when I got second drive and mirrored it in win7 [03:24] there is a way to achieve that mirror cross-platform, such as via intel fakeRAID if provided by your motherboard chipset (if it's an intel system) but its still messy [03:24] err set raid [03:25] ok....so basic question....I want to raid them.....without moving data....do I have to change boot sectors of drives or what? explain how ubuntu would do it [03:25] I recommend using a NAS server, instead of a complicated setup. [03:26] What research have you done into it so far? [03:26] wipe one...set it up.....then move data over....setup the second??? [03:26] Lurchy: you'd have to nuke both. [03:27] andy...are you resonding to me? [03:27] I was. [03:27] dafty....nuke both and have virgin drives when I raid them......right [03:27] ? [03:27] why do you want raid [03:27] Lurchy, backup your data elsewhere then raid [03:27] I was asking what websites you have looked into before posting your question. [03:27] Lurchy: correct [03:28] but i think i'd rather have my disks in a NAS to make 'em cross-platform rather than mess with fakeRAID ;) === gerald is now known as Guest88751 [03:29] daftykins, yeah especially when trying to share the data between a dual booted system [03:29] *nod* :) [03:29] daftykins, I have managed to get that to work but it was a little hairy [03:29] dafty....I want to serve video to multiple computers simultaeosly....perhaps a bit slow over NAS [03:30] and stream online to my classroom [03:30] Lurchy, to serve video you are streaming over the network yes? NAS = streaming over network [03:30] what's wrong with this crontab entry - won't run: 28 20 * * * /bin/sh /home/joel/Computer/Scripts/podcastTagging.sh [03:30] best if in ubuntu box.....raided so if one drive dies i dont lose data [03:30] Lurchy: it wouldn't be no [03:30] raid is unnecessarily complex most of the time [03:30] jmadero, take out the /bin/sh [03:31] Lurchy: yeah NAS appliances with two bays can run RAID 1 too. [03:31] Lurchy: if you absolutely must run both OSs on the bare metal of this machine, then i'd say a NAS is the way to go [03:31] jmadero, replace the /bin/sh with the user you wish to run the script as [03:31] you didn't mention if you're running an intel system capable of RAID at the chipset level to know if my earlier idea is even possiblle [03:31] -l [03:32] neldogz: so I want to run it with user "joel" - what does "replace with user you want to run with" mean? [03:32] jmadero, is this crontab entry being built from your user account? [03:32] neldogz: um well I added it just with contrab -e [03:33] crontab -e* [03:33] hmmm....dafty....perhaps I didnt explain....I have seperate box running ubuntu server that I want to move these 2TB drives over to.....the box I am on is dual boot win7/Ubutu client....all on a Cat6 gigabit network [03:33] jmadero, ok then yes its from your user account .. so just take out /bin/sh and leave everything else [03:33] neldogz: okay just set it for 20:35 - let's see if it works :) [03:33] ubuntu box can run chipset raid [03:33] should create a log if everything works as expected [03:33] gigabit = 125MB/s, a good drive can push that [03:33] Lurchy: ah ok, somehow i got the idea that windows and ubuntu were going to be running on the same box - i suppose it's because you're saying the data is already there setup with Windows [03:34] jmadero, I am pretty sure it will work unless theres a problem with the script itself. Make sure the podcastTagging.sh is executable :) [03:34] Lurchy: my apologies, got the wrong end of the stick - i think the drives will still need to be nuked and for the RAID to be setup with ubuntu server whilst blank [03:34] nah...i had these archive drive in the client box...moving them to new ubuntu box i built....pentium D 3.6 with 8GB of RAM [03:34] with SSD boot [03:34] neldogz: runs fine if I just run it direct so I know it works :) [03:35] kk [03:35] crap....pain in the arse moving all the data..... [03:35] try migrating 9TB :) [03:35] perhaps time to invest in blue ray burner :-P [03:35] or tape drive [03:36] oh dear Tux no, don't trust optical [03:36] lol [03:36] I am kidding [03:36] tape i priced up once - it was going to be at leat £3000 GBP to get started there [03:36] no luck - still didn't execute the script [03:36] I have 10MB upload.....I got 500GB portable drive around here somewhere [03:36] what a pain [03:37] *Mb [03:38] http://www.newegg.com/Backup-Devices-Media/Category/ID-2 [03:38] anyway, how to do rsync folder? [03:38] rsync -arv --progress /origin/ /destination/ [03:39] when i rename the subfolder, and then the destination just add new subfolder and the old one are not deleted [03:39] can't follow you there, gonna need an example [03:40] probably should log it also [03:40] add --log-file=PATH [03:40] jmadero: for the rsync, or your query? [03:41] i want to rsync folder1/subfolder2 to folder2/ (after first rsync its become identical) [03:41] but after i rename the subfolder2 became subfolder3, the destination just have 2 subfoldeer( 2 and 3 ) when i rsync it again [03:41] why do you rename it? [03:43] because hmm, this is a git repository, maybe in the future the folder changed :D [03:43] the source problem are : i want to clone git that didn't contain .git folder :D [03:43] so i clone it first, and rsync it to actual location [03:44] rsync with --exclude=.git [03:44] so what's wrong with tar and copy in that case... [03:44] Tape drive backup systems seem pretty interesting. I didn't know they still used them. [03:44] i'd avoid them ;) look at the drive prices [03:45] hmmm seems good idea daftykins :D thanks [03:45] I looked. It looked like only the professionals use them. [03:52] I think my hostname is incorrectly configured. I changed it in /etc/hostname and added it to /etc/hosts is there anything else I would need to do? [03:52] depends how you formatted it in both those files [03:53] but nah that'd be enough, followed by a reboot [03:55] I am looking for where Sudoku is installed on my Xubuntu installation. I thought it could be found under the games menu, but I can't find it right now. === _thinkswan is now known as thinkswan [03:56] what was it called when you installed it? [03:57] nothing comes up when you click the menu top left, then start typing 'sud' ? [03:59] I have to use the Application Finder, since I am in Xubuntu. [03:59] .... [04:00] that's what i'm referring to [04:00] ..., but nothing comes up. [04:00] right so what's the name of what you installed? [04:01] I didn't install it. I just found it a few days ago, and then was in Windows for a while, and tried to find it again. [04:01] i'm a little puzzled, you won't see an entry for something that isn't installed? [04:02] oh hey yeah my xubuntu has a sudoku game as standard :) [04:02] What menu was it in? [04:02] i used the search [04:02] but it's in Games [04:03] double check it's still installed, open the terminal then run "dpkg -l | grep sudoku" [04:03] you should see "ii gnome-sudoku ... " [04:05] It is too late to do any of those tests. I used apt-get to reinstall gnome-sudoku, but I thought it was already there. [04:06] heh, too late to run one command when you ran one command ^_^ [04:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11199112/ [04:09] I ran the command, but it doesn't show whether Sudoku was on my computer somewhere already. [04:09] a moment ago, did you run "apt-get install sudoku" ? [04:10] as you've got two installed now - and 'sudoku' is console only [04:10] I ran acs gnome-sudoku. acs is my script to take a log of whenever I install something. [04:11] ah so like a duplicate of APT's history log? [04:11] I didn't know there was such a thing. [04:11] yarr /var/cache/apt/history.log iirc [04:11] Oops. [04:11] My install script is called inst. [04:11] nope wrong path [04:11] ,... [04:12] ,... and my apt-cache search script is called acs. === boogieidm is now known as Lover [04:12] so you just run "acs " ? [04:12] I've just installed conky-manager and noticed that when I click the "Edit file manually with a text editor" button... nothing happens. [04:13] anyone else run into that? [04:13] I just ran inst gnome-sudoku. [04:13] andy__: i mean to make use of the apt-cache search one [04:13] yes. [04:14] hmm, that's just achieving the same as aliases === imatech is now known as smacktalk === Lover is now known as ILoveJaysus [04:14] trouble with that is you move to another system that doesn't have those scripts, then you've gotta do them the old fashioned way :) === _thinkswan is now known as thinkswan [04:14] but ah well, whatever works [04:14] I am just learning.

When you check the inode records, are they changing? [04:52] somsip: nope still at 100% [04:53] diuneigh_: so did you delete anything? [04:53] yes..I emptied my Trash that had around 1 million files (that I couldn't see)...

[05:01] diuneigh_: create the temp file somewhere it can be created, not root (which is full) [05:02] diuneigh_: and it's a script. Dont run it line-by-line. Create a file [05:02] somsip: I don't know how to do that. [05:02] diuneigh_: well, I suppose you could but makes it a pain to run it twice... [05:02] somsip: don't know how to do either of what you suggested. [05:03] closing the lid doesn't hibernate (15.05). any tips? [05:05] Can anyone explain why Apache in the latest 14.04 LTS release is now only looking for *.conf in sites-enabled? [05:05] IanBeyer: because that's how it works now. [05:06] I just LOVE arbitrary changes for no good reason [05:06] diuneigh_: use the one-liner later down the page: sudo find . -xdev -type f | cut -d "/" -f 2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n (this can take a long time!) [05:06] or was someone just trying to be cute and decided that doing it the normal way was too debianish [05:07] wonder how many sites that broke [05:07] IanBeyer: it will be an apache decision, not a downstream one. [05:07] somsip: I did and this happened. sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/diuneigh/8: No such file or directory [05:07] no, this is very much a Debian/Ubuntu structure thing [05:12] IanBeyer: so it is. My wrong assumption. [05:13] (as the guys in #httpd were quick to point out, your distro is broken, not our problem) [05:14] diuneigh_: change the / path to something shallower. Maybe to avoid /var or /var/lib. Try to find a top level dir with high inode usage that might show where you can tidy up. What services is the server running? [05:15] somsip: sorry.. I don't exactly follow what you mean. I'm a novice user.. can you tell me what to type in terminal? [05:15] diuneigh_: what services does the server run first?

So I can access a TLD .dev or .nm on my network. I've done plenty of searching and most have only been able to show how to access it locally via the same box. [05:36] Ben64: Thanks [05:37] I've used dnsmasq and I have a fairly decent conceptual knowledge regarding apache and a2enmod [05:38] However there is a small gap which I need to fill and figure out how to broadcast my 10.10.10.13 static box to listen for .dev tlds [05:39] I feel like I'm in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy when I'm asking this. because I just know there is a correct combination of search terms I can use to find it but haven't manifested in my head just yet... [05:39] GRUBWORM: you probably shouldn't... [05:39] Ben64: Shouldn't do what? [05:39] make fake tld's like that [05:40] I need it for development purposes [05:40] It's a private network. [05:40] The box is not listening outside. [05:40] buy a real domain, use that instead? [05:40] I have domains [05:41] The problem is I don't want to develop on a server or have to use some sort dns fix to point to my box? [05:41] you'll need dns no matter what [05:41] Which is why I want to make a local dns server on my box [05:42] But I need to figure out how to force my devices inside the network to recognize this [05:42] you shouldn't [05:42] Ben64: It's perfectly fine to do what he's trying to do. Pretend he's asking for ".local" [05:42] I've gotten to the point where I can ping a .dev domain on my box but I can't pint outside of the box [05:42] but .dev already sort of exists [05:42] Okay, .nm then? [05:42] or .fakie [05:43] Okay. How do I force my devices inside the network to report .local domains to my box? [05:43] lol my box... [05:44] run a dns server, add a zone file for it, done [05:46] And here I thought it would be easy [05:46] lol [05:47] its still easier to buy a domain, point it to 10.10.10.13 [05:48] How to sign a pdf by okular? [05:48] Ben64: That only works if the computer you're pointing to is on the internet, and he has a static IP to point to. [05:49] he knows that [05:49] Ben64: Wouldn't that still transmit unecnrypted dns information/data outside on the internet? [05:50] depends on your dns settings i suppose [05:50] Anyone know anything about dnsmasq? [05:51] Ben64: I don't think I'd want to risk that as I'm building something sensitive. [05:51] Which is also under an NDC [05:52] it could be called floopybloopdoggrooming.com [05:52] I have lol [05:52] but its really up to you on how much effort you want to put into it [05:52] Sigh [05:53] GRUBWORM: This is a nice resource https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dnsmasq [05:54] can anyone help me in compiling fox 1.6.36 [05:55] GRUBWORM:...

[12:59] please [12:59] Im using ubuntu 14.x and im trying to use iptables source NAT to forward all traffic from my main interface to a remote IP. When I enter the command: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to 1.2.3.4 it stops allowing local pings, etc. [13:00] otirc, it can be easier if you do LVM over LUKS, otherwise every LV has to be unlocked separately [13:00] Would that be expectable? I suppose it would. [13:01] NetworkingPro, what do you mean to a remote IP? [13:01] Eduard_Munteanu: Cheers, that makes sense [13:01] Eduard_Munteanu to a remote static pub ip [13:01] otirc, with LUKS at the bottom, you only have to unlock each disk [13:02] NetworkingPro, is that IP present on one of your interfaces?

[13:02] all traffic coming into eth1 getting forwarded to the remote IP [13:02] Ok, I'm just making sure you're not confusing routing with SNAT. [13:03] Eduard_Munteanu right, thanks...

[14:06] ReGiStRaS then do soemthing else while you wait, there is a world ouside your door [14:06] rahsd: no, type dpkg -l | grep emacs [14:09] maybe ioria died who knows [14:09] i installed the latest kernel on a 14.04 system and grub-install failed. i get this: "No path or device is specified. run grub-probe". grub-probe gives me "grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `udev'." [14:09] max3: are you doing this from a live usb? [14:09] no [14:10] did you try rebooting?

[14:10] grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda [14:10] or you mean that came after the kernel update by itself? [14:11] during kernel update [14:11] it choked on grub-mkconfig [14:11] which gave me an error of "no path or device specified" [14:15] EriC^^: ideas? [14:16] max3: are you using zfs-grub by any chance? [14:17] are the EC2 EU mirrors broken right now? getting connection refused from eu-west-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:80 [14:17] no [14:17] EriC^^: the filesystem is btrfs though [14:20] Hi all. One of the recent updates created a graphics issue on my system. After logging in, the screen goes black after I start interacting with the OS (opening programs, etc.). It attempts to flicker back on after a few seconds, but returns to black (rinse and repeat). I've tried a lot already, from re-configuring and re-installing compiz, Unity, xorg-server. I've seen nothing fishy in the logs, but I'm n [14:20] ot entirely sure what to be looking for either. Any help would be very much appreciated. [14:20] siXy without the :80 I get the page "This page is used to test the proper operation of the Apache HTTP server after it has been installed. If you can read this page, it means that the Apache HTTP server installed at this site is working properly." [14:22] MonkeyDust: yeah, seems like it might be coming back up [14:24] now it's 404'ing... [14:28] siXy not here... mind: it's without the :80 === rt_ is now known as rt [14:29] siXy and even with :80 i'm geting the page [14:29] MonkeyDust: the :80 is obviously irrelevent. that's the port. port 80 is the default http port. I only included it for clarity - it didn't occur to me it might confuse people. [14:30] and the page you're getting is the default apache landing page, which again, is clearly not what *should* be there. [14:30] Missed whole convo [14:30] vhosts I'm guessing? [14:31] given that it's the main ubuntu mirror in the EU, the fact that it's down is a bit of an issue [14:31] I guess canonical doesn't pay very well :/ [14:35] jarlopez, Ubuntu version? [14:36] siXy: btw, those are hosted by amazon, not canonical. [14:37] I have set up an ubuntu machine as syslog server with rsyslog and it's receiving logs from another ubuntu machine. But, they are both writing to the same logfiles. Any way to have separate log files for remote clients ? [14:38] Pici: ... running on ec2 != hosted by amazon, for any useful definition of the word. [14:40] anyway. All I wanted to know is if there was anyone here that had any actual information on when it might be fixed by - apparently the answer is no. [14:40] siXy: You could pop by #canonical-sysadmin and ask [14:40] will do, thanks [14:41] Working on a work provided laptop. Ubuntu running on the metal. I manually ifconfig'd eth0 with an IP. Everytime I unplug the cable, i lose the ip. When I plug it back in, I have to redo ifconfig eth0 settings. What's going on? [14:43] bytesaber: it is working as intended. ifconfig doesn't create a permanent record: the traditional way was to edit /etc/network/interfaces. Nowadays the automatic way is via NetworkManager [14:44] i used to be able to test switches (with various ip needs at different locatins) by just up arrowing to the ifconfig i needed wherever i was at a given time. [14:44] but not on a per disconnect basis if i didn't need a new ip yet [14:44] I have joined my ubuntu server to AD Domain [14:45] bytesaber: then it will be lost when you disconnect. ifconfig is a one-time command [14:45] how can I allow for a user to ssh into that box using AD credentials? [14:45] when I try it with my account, it disconnects me after telling me that my home folder doesn't exist [14:45] since when? Perhaps i'm mistaking this for a driver issue? [14:45] i should be able to disconect, and move to the next switch port. It's silly to think if you lose switch power, all you ubuntu servers lose their IP..... [14:47] Some help needed. Trying to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. I already have 4 primary partitions. Do the new Ubuntu partitions have to be primary? Some tutorials have them all as logical partitions but IIRC OSs need to be on a primary partiton to boot right? [14:48] gaandubuntu: they do not [14:48] Windows cares about many stupid things that GNU/Linux doesn't [14:48] So I can proceed with logical? Thanks! [14:48] bytesaber: that is how it works, unless you hard code it [14:49] bytesaber: It used to do that to me as well, and I hated it since I wanted to get a new IP when I move my laptop around [14:49] bytesaber: so if that is still the way it worked, everytime you moved your laptop you would have to run dhclient wlan0 again and again [14:49] Amm0n: Sorry for the delayed response. I'm currently running 15.04 [14:53] I've lost this question on SO, but maybe somebody can help me with the proper search terms to find it again... I'm trying to set up /etc/hosts for my _whole_ network, which I believe is done through DHCP so if any machine accesses a page on the intranet it can forward to a specific IP [14:55] jayjo you knwo what DHCP does? [14:55] know* [14:55] well i thought it assigned addresses to the machines ON the network, but maybe I don't know what it does [14:56] jarlopez, can you paste your Xorg.0.log? [14:56] Can I know what the size ofsystem updates downloaded during installation will be? [14:56] jayjo yes, it provides ip address dynamically, automatically, as opposed to static ip addresses [14:58] so is it not relevant to the conversation of resolving an intranet page on the network? [14:58] Amm0n: Any easy way to do that from commandline? [14:58] I'm currently in TTY1 since my graphical environment keeps blacking out [15:00] MonkeyDust: local DNS then? Do I have to maintain that myself? [15:00] It might be easier to just adjsut /etc/hosts on each machine [15:01] jayjo: do you need anything so complex? Your machines may be running mDNS (avahi/bonjour etc) in which case internal names will already be set up automatically [15:02] jarlopez, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit [15:02] jayjo try asking in ##networking (that's double #) [15:03] OK thanks for your help [15:03] jayjo: try accessing "http://hostname.local" and see if the intranet page appears [15:03] jayjo: (replacing hostname with the name of the host, of course) [15:05] Amm0n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11207657/ [15:05] Hello! I noticed I had a unknown device not working in additional dtivers which said amd64 microcode proprietary. Installed it, left pc for a bit and came back to black screen. Nothing happened when i moved mouse so i rebooted, it then gets me to gnome login screen but crashes when trying to login. Both gnome and gnome classic, wayland not available, maybe because ubuntu gnome dist.

Will leaving system updates for later be any different from installing them now? [15:17] do you know if there is anything i can do to improve my internet wireless connection [15:18] Amm0n: I haven't tried the nomodeset approach yet. I've cleaned/set to defaults/removed all configs in ~/ [15:18] it cuts off now and again [15:18] gaandubuntu: installing system updates keeps you secure, so install as soon as possible. If you wait, be sure to run "sudo apt-get update" before upgrading [15:19] gaandubuntu: in saying that, I usually install first then upgrade immediately after [15:19] alright thanks === alfa is now known as Guest47844 [15:21] jarlopez, give it a try^ [15:22] If I'm installing from a live USB (with a persistence file), will any software I've installed on this USB be in my installation? I've installed a lot of crap on this USB I don't want carrying over. [15:23] gaandubuntu: no [15:23] Amm0n: What, 'update && upgrade' or nomodeset? [15:23] Ok thanks man [15:24] jarlopez, upgrade if you haven't done yet, if that doesn't solve the issue add nomodeset [15:25] Amm0n: Alright. I'm already up-to-date, I'll try nomodeset. [15:25] Amm0n: Just in case, what do you suggets I look into if nomodeset isn't fruitful? [15:26] hi guys... I'm new... How does this work? [15:27] ischio: you ask an Ubuntu support question. If anyone knows, they'll answer :) [15:28] jarlopez, you could use dmesg or journalctl -r on another tty and repoduce the error to see if this is getting more info [15:29] jarlopez, or use another driver [15:29] Amm0n: Thanks a bunch [15:29] jarlopez, yw [15:29] thank you maphail... i have one question...

My graphics "card" is an intel corp. 3rd gen core processor graphics controller [16:13] jarlopez, do you get the same issues if you boot into the 15.04 live iso? [16:16] When creating new accounts, I generally set an easy to rememeber password that I verbally tell the users, but I've noticed that many of them dont login for weeks and it's a bit of a security risk to have a bunch of accounts with the same, easy to remember password. Can I use chage to lock an account in x days if not logged in? [16:17] Amm0n: Haven't tried yet.

I have what may be a stupid question about mainline/upstream kernels. At what point upstream, if any, are kernels missing features, settings, or functionality that are in the kernels packaged by Canonical and released when I apt-get upgrade? E.g., say I run 15.04 but want to take advantage of some feature in a 4.x kernel. (cont...) [16:26] (...cont.) If I install an RC or a daily from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , is the only downside that there might be bugs? Or are there specific things that would be always be "missing" or different when using a newer mainline kernel from that Mainline PPA rather than waiting for an officially-released update?

[17:43] some of which would have gone into sarge, some of which maybe into etch or later. Definitely not based on slink :) [17:49] buonasera a tutti...ho xubuntu 12.04 installato su un notebook asus...da qualche giorno riscontro degli arresti di sistema improvvisi, come se facessi correttamente uno shoutdown... come posso capire il motivo di questi arresti?

I created a new server with a new RAID array using mdadm (both machines 14.04.2 LTS).. the old array had 10 3TB disks in Raid6 and the new array has 4 6TB disks in Raid 5... I copied 12.8TB of data that was living on the old array to the new array, and suddenly 14.1TB are used on the new array. Why?

Worst chipset I ever had to use. [18:20] bekks: should i try to install a pci tp link wireless card instead? [18:20] i can still change it [18:20] kokut: Which chipset does that one have? [18:20] bekks: its TP link man its supposed to be good [18:21] i dont know what chipset does it have [18:21] kokut: No, not at all. It depends on the chipset, not the brand. [18:22] bekks: looks like it has an Atheros Chipset [18:22] kokut: "looks like"? [18:23] bekks: TP-LINK Wireless N PCI (TL-WN851N) [18:23] that one [18:24] doesnt even look like its supported by linux tho [18:25] how do I disable writecaching for usb devices in 15.04?

Just decided to finally get an Ubuntu desktop. I'm at the download screen and I've got two choices. Just curious, is every other version short term supported? [18:34] VanDerGroot, the one is LTS, the one is the latest version [18:34] VanDerGroot: Yes, only 14.04 (and the very old 12.04) is LTS. [18:35] How does upgrading work in Ubuntu. Can I just upgrade to the next version when it comes or do I need to reinstall? [18:35] Vander you can upgrade to next [18:35] VanDerGroot: as any other system, backups are good idea [18:35] Thanks. :) [18:36] xangua, naturally. :) [18:36] But yes, backup before tho [18:36] HELLO? :D [18:36] Hi. [18:36] Any good reason, except future support, to not choose the latest version? [18:37] VanDerGroot: you can also make a separate partition for /home [18:37] VanDer: not really, I usually wait like a week or two then upgrade [18:37] Looking for some help setting up a dev environment for my local network === jews is now known as esc_type [18:37] xangua, I'm a noob. Baby steps. ^^ [18:39] VanDerGroot: Here some stuff, look for installing and partitions https://help.ubuntu.com/community [18:40] Benno-007, thanks. :) [18:40] Is there a room for PAM support or is here good enough?

[18:45] daftykins: That does not work [18:46] howdy, when I click on Files from dashboard nothing happens. This used to work now the GUI does not appear. [18:46] Bray90820: it will require some additional setup, just having the *protocol* does not automatically make a storage volume TM capable. [18:47] Bray90820: see here - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-nas-windows-share-time-machine-backup/ [18:48] daftykins: Thanks [18:49] General goal is to get a domain user authenticated with no secrets on the client computer and without anonymous binds. Right now I'm trying to figure out where in the PAM stack is failing. All of common-auth executes successfully (krb5 gets a ticket and the last line is executed, tested with pam_exec /bin/echo and it's present in the auth.log) however nothing in common-account is run. The final error is [18:49] login[12682]: FAILED LOGIN (1) on '/dev/pts/2' FOR 'UNKNOWN', User not known to the underlying authentication module [18:49] !changelog [18:49] changelogs for Ubuntu packages can be found on http://changelogs.ubuntu.com === digifiv5e is now known as daynaskully [18:51] Hi, I'm using Nvidia drivers - dmesg -l confirms this.

[18:53] sjmikem: hybrid laptop is it? [18:53] i.e. nvidia optimus? [18:54] sjmikem: lspci | pastebinit [18:54] 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M] (rev a2) [18:54] ah yes 850M [18:54] sjmikem: 15.04 yes? [18:54] cheetahw26: "apt-get source packagename" and have a look inside the tarball [18:55] daftykins: no, 14.10 but with 3.19 kernel [18:55] ugh [18:55] should I bite the bullet and upgrade to 15.04? [18:55] sjmikem: can you share the full lspci via pastebinit? [18:55] no that's the least of your worries :) [18:55] sjmikem: did you see line 120 in Xorg.0.log ? "[ 122.310] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module nvidia" [18:56] thanks [18:59] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11211190/ [18:59] ok so yes optimus [19:00] sjmikem_: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit [19:00] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11211197/ [19:00] also here is lsmod: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11211206/ [19:00] sjmikem_: ok so you don't even have any nvidia driver installed :) [19:01] I don't have nouveau either [19:01] indeed, it fell back to intel because the on-die graphics is your primary [19:01] this is a laptop right? [19:01] did I lose the nvidia one when I upgraded my kernel? [19:01] of course it is, mobile nvidia chip [19:01] sjmikem_: if you're not using the stock kernel, you'll have to reinstall the nvidia driver after every kernel upgrade. The dkms script is faulty - known bug which nvidia don't do anything about [19:01] yes it's a laptop [19:02] sjmikem_: well you don't even have any nvidia package installed... so have you attempted to install a manual download from the website before? [19:02] mcphail: you're assuming a manual download of the driver. [19:02] daftykins: no [19:02] yeah you are :) because the packages don't fail like that typically [19:02] daftykins: at some point in the past, but I think the most recent one I had was from PPA [19:03] dpkg -l shows a removed nvidia-331 [19:03] daftykins: any repo drivers beyond nvidia-current (304, I think) fail with custom kernels [19:03] which would you recommend for my current configuration (14.10 + 3.19) [19:03] define custom [19:03] daftykins: Mainstream or hand-rolled [19:03] sjmikem_: well why are you running 3.19? you'd need to show which ones are available in 14.10, i'm not 100% - i know 331 was the newest in 14.04 [19:04] apt-cache search nvidia- [19:04] daftykins: there was a nasty bug I was encountering that was freezing my laptop. Someone here pointed me to bug that suggested upgrading to 3.19 [19:04] apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-whateverversion will trigger the dkms script properly [19:05] apt-cache search shows 3-49 available [19:05] mcphail: _it's not installed_ [19:05] i would upgrade ubuntu to 15.04 for that kernel, and newer nvidia drivers. [19:05] * mcphail has experienced the pain of nvidia for too long [19:06] mcphail: i appreciate you're trying to help but given the above pastebins your advice doesn't apply [19:06] sjmikem_: your call, try the newest nvidia available along with nvidia-prime - or upgrade to 15.04. [19:06] daftykins: what is nvidia-prime? [19:06] sjmikem_: it's the bumblebee replacement which will make your hybrid graphics setup work. [19:07] !hybrid [19:07] also do I need to explicitly remove nouveau module? [19:07] ugh has that one been deleted too 0o [19:07] sjmikem_: it's not on! as per Xorg.0.log [19:07] sjmikem_: so please run "apt-cache search nvidia- | pastebinit" [19:07] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11211307/ [19:08] 3-49 installed fine, which included nvidia-prime [19:08] sjmikem_: ok reboot [19:08] oh, hopefully see you in a minute :-) [19:08] nvidia should make a driver that transforms your card into an ati card [19:09] hey eric! i'm the guy from last night, i've almost got the laptop working [19:09] i was actually in the middle of installing it when i got an error about the root system i was hoping you could help me with [19:09] EriC^^, good point, and an update for amd to turn athlonx2 to athlonx6 [19:10] daftykins: what are you seeing in the pastebins which I'm missing? [19:10] the fact that no nvidia package was installed at all? [19:10] daftykins: missed that one - where was that? [19:10] ¬_¬ [19:10] the time has now passed :) [19:10] ha :) [19:11] OerHeks: :D === Samul|AWAY is now known as Samul` [19:11] daftykins: i saw nvidia missing from the lsmod, but that happens when the dkms script fails to build it anyway [19:11] it's probably a good time to upgrade to 15.04 anyway, support for 14.10 ends in ~2 months [19:12] Hi guys [19:12] mcphail: no. it was not installed at all [19:12] that _would_ be a problem [19:12] how can i find .Trash-1000 folder plz i deleted my files i want bring them back any one can help ? [19:13] though i do suspect we could have been receiving not entirely honest info regarding a manual nvidia download having gone on ;) [19:13] thenewone: can you not open trash in nautilus? [19:14] daftykins: if you install the xorg-edgers ppa, there are some conflicts with normal repo packages. If you install thosem the edgers nvidia drivers get uninstalled but the GL implementation is left hanging [19:14] Ben64, sorry how [19:14] Hello guys I have a Debian 7 machine. I am trying to install a particular software. I am having problems installing iniparser, which is a dependency. I am using instructions from http://www.networking-forums.com/index.php?topic=47.0 . Please see point no "#15.a. Get and install iniparser" in this link. What might be going wrong? [19:15] mcphail: i give regular driver advice in here and have done for the last several years, i don't need to know any of this :) [19:15] kichuku: /join #debian [19:15] ok so what happened was that i was able to get to the ubuntu installation by trying the Try Ubuntu Without Installing, and i went ahead and started the installation from the shortcut, but got an error about no root system filetype or somethign like that, so i turned it off and now i cant get back to the live session like i did earlier [19:15] daftykins: :) [19:15] Ben64, how to open it in terminal ?? === jaco is now known as Guest55995 [19:16] thenewone: why does it need to be terminal? didn't you delete using gui [19:16] EriC^^, selecting try ubuntu without installing just takes me to a black screen now, suggestions? [19:16] ya [19:16] but i can found them in that folder [19:16] it's happen to me before [19:17] when you delete file they stay [19:17] thenewone: so open the trash in nautilus... [19:17] daftykins: didn't work :-) Graphic TTY screen stays black [19:17] nothing in [19:17] here is my Xorg log [19:17] lol [19:17] i tryed Ctrl+h [19:17] ! [19:17] sjLonghorn: ok you've got some PPAs on that you haven't mentioned then. [19:17] sounds like your install is properly messed up :) [19:17] thenewone: what is ctrl+h going to do? theres a trash icon on the left, click it [19:17] guest211211: did you accidently try to install onto the live USB rather than your hard disk? [19:18] Ben64, belive me i tryed everything [19:18] before i cam here [19:18] thenewone: ~/.local/share/Trash is one of the folders [19:18] thenewone usually that folder is the trash of the root user [19:18] sorry, not very good at weechat === mmigdol is now known as sjLonghorn [19:19] Ben64, i formated the usb to make bootable [19:19] anyone here using tomcat? [19:19] ioria, i just want how to open the folder trash in usb [19:19] http://pastebin.it/11211426 [19:19] hope I formatted that right [19:19] thenewone, why do you need to make it bootable? [19:19] to install arch [19:19] DammitJim: I use gnote, which does the same, not sure if that helps [19:19] thenewone usb ? elaborate, please [19:19] thenewone: you formatted it and want to find the files in the trash? not going to happen [19:20] i mean flash [19:20] usb [19:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11211426 [19:20] omg [19:20] bprompt, how do you deal with the deployment of apps to the webapps folder? [19:20] Ben64, it's happen to me [19:20] mcphail, i sure hope not. i can remake the usb though just in case, should i do that? [19:20] i can found the files [19:20] Ubuntu sets the webapps folder in /var/lib/tomcat7/ [19:20] when you format the flash file still there [19:20] omg [19:20] and when I scp something with my user, it doesn't get the proper permissions [19:20] thenewone: listen. files ONLY go into the trash folder when you "delete" them using nautilus, it actually sends to trash and waits for you to remove. if you format, they're gone [19:21] there are tools, like photorec that can maybe get stuff back, but it takes a while and is not guaranteed to work [19:21] DammitJim: hmmm misread you.. or misread the app name, not the same thing at all =) [19:21] oh [19:21] Ben64, you should not help people here [19:22] if you said that formating a flashusb delete files [19:22] its completely true [19:22] thenewone: but Ben64 speaks the truth [19:22] i can say you know nothing about recovering [19:22] loool [19:22] how much peoples dont know nothing [19:22] thenewone: you are obviously confused on the definition of 'delete' [19:22] is ubuntu com.... all like this ? [19:22] jsut word every one use it [19:22] if you think files from a flash drive that you FORMATTED will show up in the trash, then you know nothing about recovery [19:22] lol [19:22] thenewone: that's rather amusing commentary coming from someone that just wiped their own flash drive :) [19:22] you are not my teatcher [19:23] ok let's be clear [19:23] i want make Trash-1000 visible [19:23] forget everything i said [19:23] nope, sorry, your files are gone. research into photorec/testdisk [19:23] i want make Trash-1000 visible [19:23] i dont ask you about my file [19:23] Hi... trying to update from 14.04 to 15.04 (desktop, XFCE). If I execute "do-release-upgrade", I get "no new releases found". I know there is a switch preventing LTS versions to upgrade to non-LTS versions. Where do I find that switch? [19:23] i'm asking you about trash [19:23] not my files [19:23] your question is not about trash [19:24] is this simple to understand [19:24] !xy | thenewone [19:24] thenewone: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned. [19:24] yes [19:24] jost: you do not directly upgrade from 14.04 to 15.04 [19:24] forget about my fucking stupid files [19:24] you'll have to upgrade to 14.10 first jost [19:24] i want make the stupid Trash-1000 folder visible [19:24] xangua: then 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 [19:24] but how?

For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [19:24] so i have a problem [19:24] i want yes or not [19:24] what ?? [19:24] thenewone: come back in an hour once you've calmed down [19:24] thenewone, remove the "." [19:24] fuck off [19:24] i have a 30g vdi i want to copy [19:24] do you know any good screenshot capture software with annotation, other than shutter? [19:24] that was productive [19:25] lol [19:25] anyway [19:25] jost: my question would be: Why? but you just need to enable normal release upgrades in Software Centre> Edit menu> Sources> Updates tab [19:25] so i have all these python mods and stuff i want to be able to move across ubuntu installs [19:25] at least he was planning on moving to Arch [19:25] can I just copy my etc and home folder? [19:25] mcphail: won't last 5 mins === tomas_ is now known as Guest19207 [19:26] xangua: ok, found it, thanks [19:26] I want to run Windows 8 in safemode because it keeps saying "please wait" and does not open. The problem is that Windows 8 boot is so quick to interrupt by F8 and this is not working. Can I write something after pressing "e" in grub to force safemode and is there a solution for the "please wait" in Windows 8 in general when dualboot with Ubuntu? [19:26] jost: backups are always good idea, good luck [19:27] windows7_: copying /etc across installs is not guaranteed to be safe [19:27] You could edit the bootmgr, possibly replace it with a back up [19:27] decltypeme, you can disable quick boot on windows to start in safe mode [19:27] mcphail: how can i turn this ubuntu install portable? [19:27] decltypeme, this is ubuntu support, not windows. === boogieidm is now known as boogieidm_ [19:27] VforAlecs: can not access to windows [19:27] OerHeks: I am asking about grub [19:27] i have portable gear thats large enough to hold it [19:27] my bad, didnt read that part [19:27] OerHeks: #grub [19:28] VforAlecs: do u have an idea? [19:28] windows7_: so you have Ubuntu on a few machines but you want some python scripts etc on a portable hard drive which you can use across installs? [19:28] decltypeme, no..maybe repair windows and then reinstall grub again [19:28] daftykins: I removed my xorg-edgers PPA, then ran apt-cache search again, which suggested that nvidia-331 was the latest mainline driver [19:29] doesn't look like that one will install on my 3.19 kernel though [19:29] How can I ... I am really stuck [19:29] dkms apport ... kenel package...not suported [19:29] decltypeme, solution in grub for the 'please wait' in windows? my wild guess is that it has something to do with fast boot disabled. [19:29] mcphail: exactly [19:29] Hello guys, could you try to help me.. when I try to install Ubuntu my installer is crashing http://imgur.com/vzG5paV,DJAu1r9,R0eJwwG,eAAy33s [19:29] would you recommend I go ahead w/ upgrade to 15? [19:30] sjLonghorn: what version are you on now [19:30] sjLonghorn: yeah give up and clean install 15.04 i think - or upgrade but you'll need to remove all your PPAs of course [19:30] Ben64: 14.10 with 3.19 kernel [19:30] basically [19:30] yeah, 15.04 is better [19:30] OerHeks: I will try [19:30] OerHeks: Thanks [19:30] ive been hacking on a couch for a few days and I want to move this date rather than having to install it all over again completely [19:31] to my regular ubuntu machine [19:31] windows7_: I would add something like "/mnt/mydrive" to your $PATH on each device and mount your drive at that point whenever you move from computer to computer. Surely there is a better way than moving around a hard drive, though? [19:31] i have an ubuntu 12.04 Live USB stick. Which file contains the main user disk? How would one mount it from a system when the USB stick was plugged in? === mm-work is now known as mmercer [19:31] dbtid: what are you trying to accomplish [19:31] windows7_: oh - you simply want to transfer ther data? [19:32] i want to copy a file to it. [19:32] decltypeme, dont enable it, as you might not be able to boot ubuntu. [19:32] dbtid: not possible [19:32] mcphail: i want to avoid reinstalling all these modules [19:32] really? you can't mount casper-rw ? [19:32] python modiles [19:32] it's an ext2 file system. [19:33] can i just turn my hd into a live cd [19:33] ok, i made the new usb boot thing, but Try without installing still takes me to that black screen. how can i fix this? [19:33] dbtid: so its a persistent usb? [19:33] or a live usb [19:33] it's persistent. [19:33] i think i might have incorrectly partially installed some of ubuntu [19:33] as far as i know. [19:33] it remembers from boot-to-boot what i've done on it. [19:33] dbtid: well thats different [19:33] windows7_: I'm really quite lost about what your trying to do, to be honest. I'll probably let someone else help [19:34] i thought the casper-rw name meant it was persistent. [19:34] windows7_: essentially, no. [19:34] dbtid: just loop mount it like any normal fs image [19:34] ok. [19:34] that's what i thought. [19:35] im sort of lost too [19:36] i think i want an iso of the hd im on now that i can install on other machines [19:36] i can also try OEM install (for manufacturerrs) or check the disc for defects, im going to do he latter [19:36] with all the custom software and modules preinstalled [19:36] guest211211: OEM will do nothing for your situation [19:36] windows7_: yeah no, that'd be a lot of work. [19:37] yeah well i couch surf [19:37] windows7_: it is easy enough to clone an install, provided you don't mind replacing everything which is on the machine [19:37] so it would save lots of time eventually [19:37] windows7_: what do your living arrangements have to do with ubuntu? :) [19:37] windows7_: you could install ubuntu to an external hdd, and install whatever else on it, and plug it here and there, all customized, if that helps [19:38] what can i do then daftykins, i was really close to having a fix but i messed it up at the last minute i think [19:38] also no errors were found [19:38] what i need is to create my own custom iso from the hd im on [19:38] then i can install that to whatever media im going to carry with me [19:39] guest211211: try to see what's on the scrolling text === soee_ is now known as soee [19:39] daftykins: i dont own enough laptops [19:39] windows7_: how big is the drive on the laptop, and how big is your external drive? [19:39] guest211211: install ubuntu > ctrl+alf+f1 and see what the scrolling text is all about [19:39] guest211211: i haven't followed your tale from the start but i don't have the time to assist right now - i would fully format and remake your flash drive as i don't trust it [19:40] the vdi is 30g and i dont have the media to fit that but i think I can compress it [19:40] guest211211: maybe you need to boot using a certain kernel parameter [19:40] windows7_: dd if=/dev/sda of=/home//media.iso [19:40] !list [19:40] coppolgat: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [19:40] i also remember being able to simply copy the used space to an iso [19:40] windows7_: vdi? [19:40] which is probably something i could fit [19:40] might throw on a bs=1M [19:40] its a virtual box vdi [19:40] alazare619: that won't work [19:40] the hd [19:40] alazare619: thats the wrong way round [19:40] EriC^^: i'd be tempted to get guest2*** to remake the flash drive then nuke the disk with dd on the first 100MB with zeroes to see if it cures it :D [19:40] but that doesnt really matter [19:40] gotta go ttfn \o [19:40] i dont think [19:40] windows7_: aah - missed that [19:41] daftykins: he made a new live usb, with 15.04 [19:41] i just reformatted the flash drive with lili [19:41] al2o3-cr: he wants hard drive to iso it will too [19:41] just tell me what to do [19:41] Hello guys, when I try to install Ubuntu my installer is always crashing http://imgur.com/vzG5paV,DJAu1r9,R0eJwwG,eAAy33s [19:41] not iso to hard drive [19:41] alazare619: it won't be bootable or installable, so no, its not what he wants [19:41] daftykins: it boots it fine, but if he presses install ubuntu it just stalls, and ctrl+alt+f1 shows a kernel panic or something [19:41] windows7_: your plans make more sense now :) [19:41] alazare619: oh sorry jumped in to early :) [19:41] partclone seems promising [19:41] :) [19:42] guest211211: try to checksum the iso you used [19:42] Ben64: sure it will he already has a mbr it will copy all he isnt doing partition he is doing full drive to iso [19:42] basically a img [19:42] and thats how you make a img... [19:42] any ideas why the installer is crashing for me ? http://imgur.com/vzG5paV,DJAu1r9,R0eJwwG,eAAy33s [19:42] alazare619: except no, its not what he wants [19:42] windows7_: dd would be fine. You can pipe it through gzip so it compresses blank space on the fly [19:42] !patience | Siente [19:42] Siente: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:42] guest211211: it's a long shot that both iso's were damaged but who knows [19:42] checksum?

I'm trying to install Ubuntu but I just get what I think is a shell where the prompt is (initramfs) [19:44] guest211211: it's like you're trying to fix your car and it won't start, and you first need to check if there's actual fuel in the tank first [19:44] before pulling injectors and what not [19:45] md5 checksums are the same [19:45] ok, try to see what the scrolling text is saying [19:46] question regarding setup of dovecot using the ubuntu packages [19:46] did you seriously just check the md5? lol i have a tiny suspicion that you didn't.. [19:46] lol [19:46] there is no scrolling text anymore, that went away [19:47] there's either the black screen which is try witout installing, or the grey screen with the gear thats install [19:47] did you see what i said about how i was able to start the installation earlier [19:47] dovecot is getting an error when a user logs in; it says that the individual user doesn't have write permissions on the mail directory. do you have to manually create their mail directory when using mbox? [19:48] guest211211: did you try pressing ctrl+alt+f1? [19:48] zerowaitstate: was the user created before you installed dovecot? [19:49] no, ill try that when i finish reformatting the usb [19:51] hi [19:51] is it possible to use UFW to set a rule... with MAC address?

[19:55] tomaz_b: yeah [19:55] ok... thnks [19:55] np [19:57] hi [19:57] Hi guys. I'm trying to install Ubuntu but I just get what I think is a shell where the prompt is (initramfs). This happens even when I choose the live selection. Any idea what can be going on? [19:57] disculpa hablas español [19:57] oh, yeah, my speakers are kinda messed up [19:57] anyways what should i do [19:57] did u press tab ? [19:57] i think i partially messed up earlier when installing ubuntu (or trying to) and now i cant get back to try ubuntu without installing's live session [19:57] could you still be in grub ? [19:58] cyking, who me? [19:58] guest211211: get to grub, press e over try ubuntu, add noacpi noapic nomodeset after quiet splash [19:58] guest211211 - but dosnt seem like it now [19:59] hi [19:59] how can I upgrade from 14.04 lts to 15.04 directly? [19:59] guest211211: you got to try ubuntu earlier because of adding nomodeset [19:59] DexterF: fresh install [19:59] guest211211: it still hanged when you clicked on the install button though [20:00] DexterF: you cant. you need to do the upgrade to 14.10 and then to 15.04 [20:00] guest211211: try those kernel parameters and see if it works [20:00] DexterF: I did it but had to go from 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 [20:00] ok i did that, there was some error about a radeon driver? [20:01] nevermind [20:01] guest211211: did you get the desktop? [20:01] *sigh* [20:02] no, i didnt get to the desktop [20:02] last time you only gave me nomodeset, im going to attempt that again [20:02] ok [20:03] yeah no, it doesnt get me to the desktop [20:03] can you type out the exact parameters so i dont make any typos [20:03] guest211211: ok, when you get to grub, press c [20:03] it's nomodeset, but i think the live usb passes the gfxmode to the kernel [20:04] ok [20:04] c? not e? [20:04] c takes me into grub, e is what edits the launch option [20:04] yes, c [20:04] ok === jmickos is now known as jarlopez [20:05] type linux (hd1,msdos1)/casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset -- [20:05] is there a possibility to tell the installer somewhere "import as much as you can from the installaion found at "? suse lets you import fstab for example. then I think apt sources and list of installed packages. install base system, then recreate as much as possbile without starting from scratch [20:05] initrd /casper/initrd.lz , then type boot [20:06] DexterF: the installer should offer you that if it sees an installed ubuntu [20:06] guest211211: actually leave out quiet splash, it might mention any errors while it boots [20:06] error, disk 'hd1,msdos1' not found [20:06] DexterF: but i dont get why you just make the upgrades? since 15.04 is not an upgrade you will need to upgrade every 6 months until you reach the 16.04 again, anyway [20:06] DexterF: backup, fresh install, restore your files [20:06] guest211211: type ls -l [20:07] DexterF: if you dont want upgrades stay at 14.04 which is LTS. next LTS is 16.04 [20:07] ah [20:07] can't, need a distro with at least kernel 3.19 that makes a good media center platform [20:07] device memdisk: filesystem type fat, uuid 13fe-fc8f - sector size 512B, total size 64KiB [20:08] device hd0 error file /boot/grub/x86_64-efi//zfs.mod not found [20:08] there are more file not found errors for the same directory, tar, sfs, nilfs2, minix, afs, and affs . mod [20:08] no known filesystem detected, sector size 512b total size 125016064kib [20:08] DexterF: trusty will have 3.19 aviable in around six months as part of the hardware enablement stack [20:09] partition hd0,msdos1: filesystem type fat- label mylinuxlive [20:09] device hd1: no known filesystem, total size 488883838 (this seems to be my main hard drive) [20:09] guest211211: ok replace hd1,msdos1 with hd0,msdos1 [20:09] i dont want to type out the rest just tell me what you need [20:09] i didnt ask you to type out everything, we just needed the partition names === Samul` is now known as Samul|AWAY [20:10] xangua: can't wait six months. but hey, I'm fine with upgrading, had I known earlier I would have moved evrything to an SSD, but, hey, I'll live. [20:10] how can i hide deffault left panel in ubuntu? [20:10] DexterF: can't you just upgrade to 14.10 then to 15.04 ? [20:10] from desktop [20:11] nullbyte_: settings > appearance > behavior > autohide launcher [20:11] cyking: of course I can, but this is an old athlon64 single core with a classic hdd, the download is done in 5min, but the upgrade takes ages :) [20:11] ok eric, command went in fine. now what [20:11] EriC^^: ok thanks. can i disable it? [20:11] guest211211: initrd /casper/initrd.lz , then type boot [20:11] nullbyte_: nope [20:12] DexterF: i did it for my media server which is an Atholon 64 too. lol [20:13] ok eric, its back at the black screen that i usually get when i try to select try without installing [20:14] EriC^^: ok [20:14] you did hear what i said earlier about how i was at the live session earlier, hit the installer, it started working but gave me an error about root system? i think i partially started installing ubuntu and it messed me up [20:16] guest211211: ok, and how did that happen? [20:16] cyking: :D alright... I need to run a DVB-S2 receiver which runs out of the box without fancy module compiles (its for non-tech friends) so I need the 3.19 kernel for a DVBSky card that's *supposed* to run just like that... [20:16] ok so i went to try without installing. i got on twitter to see if everything was working, it was. i hit the installer button. it was like, hey, you want to install? i was like hell yeah. so i hit the install button, went into the other room. came back to see an error about root and filesystem, i cant remember what. i decided to reboot. and now i'm having the problem i have now [20:19] guest211211, just hitting the install button does not install anything, it just starts the install procedure with questions, or in your case, an error. [20:20] guest211211: do this the right way, go download an update for your bios and update it [20:21] ok, how do i do that? [20:21] back on line with 15.04 and latest drivers, thanks all for the help [20:21] Does anyone know how I can make capslock on its own do ctrl+alt+/ and ctrl+capslock do enter? Trying to find out how to remap and having a hard time. xD [20:21] google for your computer's name and download a bios update from the manufacturer's website [20:23] guest211211 , read the directions carefully , as flashing your bios is critical [20:24] use an ampty usb stick [20:24] empty [20:24] BlackHorn: xbindkeys [20:24] Ok, thanks, I'll take a look. [20:24] might be able to handle that [20:24] no problem [20:25] ok, ill go format my usb now [20:25] take your time [20:27] hi [20:27] EriC^^, around? :P [20:28] i've been asked to fully commit bisect the kernel. can someone help walk me through the process. === moe_ is now known as lilmoey === lilmoey is now known as lilmoe [20:29] sorry guys about erlier [20:29] :D [20:29] cyking, sounds like homework [20:30] cyking, good start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection [20:30] pbx, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1453391 [20:30] Ubuntu bug 1453391 in linux (Ubuntu) "Very slow Qualcomm Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet (rev b0)" [Medium,Incomplete] [20:30] i love answer yes & no but you guys dont give direct answer thanks any way [20:30] hello i just finished dual installation [20:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11212299/ [20:31] ah, thanks cyking [20:32] ...

[20:33] cyking, that would be one way to find out where it goes wrong [20:34] im really unsure if i'm getting the right BIOS, I have the serial number but the asus website won't let me find model type by serial number, i'M FAIRLY certain i've found the right one by looking on newegg, but i'm not 100% [20:34] kernelbisection is an time eating task [20:34] guest211211, look at the model name, if not printed, the FCC number to determin your model [20:35] OerHek: http://pastebin.com/WwVjC02W seems to me i should focus on one of those. but the instructions dont really tell you how to. [20:35] FCC number? [20:35] any pussy here? [20:35] cyking, i never bisected a kernel lately, you might want to ask someone else. [20:36] guest211211, examine your machine, top, back, bottom, whatever. [20:36] the label got washed off in the rain, it snot there anymore [20:37] rain ? [20:37] guest211211, good luck then.

[20:52] Why does the Archive Manager not have a Skip All, or a apply this choice to the next 100 items!?! [20:55] designbybeck, if it does not have a feature you'd like to see / use, maybe file a bug as a feature request? Won't help much immediately, but down the road maybe. [20:57] hmmm ok ki7mt just thought it was odd it had a replace all, but not a skip all [20:58] ok yeah, they can't help me. what next EriC^^ [21:01] hello, im using ubuntu with unity and unity does start at the login screen but when logged into the user dash and the taskbar dont show up. What can i do about this? [21:02] Nik05, check your settings Appearance [21:02] how do i get there designbybeck ? [21:02] Nik05, System Settings > Appearance [21:03] press your windows key/SuperKey and start typing [21:03] designbybeck the taskbar and dash dont start so i cant click on system settings [21:03] or on the shutdown button on the top right [21:03] also no shutdown button [21:03] you don't see anything Nik05 ? Can you right click on the desktop [21:04] the desktop is loaded and right click works [21:04] Trying to install Ubuntu and getting "acpi pcc probe failed" as soon as I choose install or try ubuntu. [21:04] Nik05, so when you right click you see the New Folder, Change Background menu? [21:04] guest211211: i have no idea [21:04] yes designbybeck [21:05] hmmmm....but if you press the Superkey you don't see anything pull up? [21:05] Nik05, ^ [21:05] guest211211: try to disable fastboot in the bios maybe [21:05] designbybeck no nothing shows up [21:06] designbybeck, sounds like something that should be there, or would at least be useful. [21:06] VanDerGroot: does it boot ? genertally benihn warning : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2275310 . [21:06] hmmm not susre on that one Nik05 [21:07] Nik05, was sounding like a video driver issue, but The fact you can right click on the desktop wouldn't be the case I don't think [21:07] no the login screen does have a taskbar [21:07] oh and i can also log into the guess account and that one does work [21:08] guest [21:09] Ah, Might be something with your profile Nik05 Maybe someone else in the group can help you refresh that? As in Delete something from your .config folder in your users home dir and hope it rebuilds it when you log back in? [21:10] hello [21:11] designbybeck i was thinking about that. But i have no idea what to remove [21:12] ok, i have to make another lili usb real quick [21:12] Nik05, I'm not sure where that info would be sorry [21:13] thank you for helping designbybeck, maybe someone else knows [21:20] Hello. I have what may be a stupid question about mainline/upstream kernels. At what point upstream, if any, are kernels missing features, settings, or functionality that are in the kernels packaged by Canonical and released when I apt-get upgrade? E.g., say I run 15.04 but want to take advantage of some feature in a 4.x kernel. (cont...) [21:20] (...cont.) If I install an RC or a daily from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , is the only downside that there might be bugs? Or are there specific things that would be always be "missing" or different when using a newer mainline kernel from that Mainline PPA rather than waiting for an officially-released update? [21:21] MoPac: The mainline kernel builds don't include any Ubuntu specific patches. [21:21] so does anyone else know? [21:21] now that ive disabled fast boot, should i try doing kernel parameters again? [21:25] mcphail: I figured it out. you have to enable an option in dovecot.conf that tells what privileged user to become when creating mail directories [21:26] mcphail: I also had an issue with the Debian docs telling you to set up the wrong user/group for the UNIX socket for Dovecot SASL auth in Exim [21:26] whoa [21:26] hey eric, its back at the live session! [21:26] tell me what to do now! === ianp_ is now known as ianp [21:26] Nik05, I don't use Unity but the first search result turned up this... http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears [21:27] Jordan_U: Does that also include the -rc versions? [21:30] MoPac: Part of the purpose of the mainline builds is that they are vanilla upstream sources (they use Ubuntu's kernel configuration, but no Ubuntu patches). That is true of all of the mainline builds from the kernel "ppa". [21:31] EriC^^, now that im in the live session, can you give me instructions on how to properly install Ubuntu? [21:32] thank you Nytram i will take a look, but i already tried a lot [21:33] i can start firefox btw, but it doesnt have a window border around it. So looks like the window manager doesnt start [21:34] Jordan_U: Thanks [21:36] I tried Unity once, right as all the bad hype started. I decided not to use it, not because it was bugged or a bad gui, just that it didn't fit my workflow that I was used to for the past 20 years. [21:40] MoPac: You're welcome. [21:40] guest211211: click on install ubuntu [21:41] then when you get to the partitioning choose Something else [21:41] Jordan_U: I've noticed the three patches that are included on the download pages for some of the kernels. Would the application of those patches be the equivalent of whatever Canonical does when it releases a kernel as an official update? Or would there be more to it? [21:45] MoPac: Updating to a newer kernel isn't a purely automatic process, a person needs to know things like "Was this previously ubuntu-specific patch already applied upstream" or "Does the code this patch applies to completely rewritten in the newer upstream version?". For those two examples, you would be able to see that there was a problem because the patches would fail to apply, but it's possible that some subtle issues ... [21:45] ... would allow a patch to apply, and result in a compileable kernel, while still having issues. [21:46] what is the space requirement for kodi 4.2? im trying to go from 13.2 to 14.2 on an android box with 438mb of space but it is saying that isnt enough? [21:47] Guest49226: for kodi on android (?) you will need to ask the kodi support. this doesnt relate to ubuntu support, right? [21:47] EriC^^, remember how i told you last time I tried to install Ubuntu, it gave me the error about root? [21:48] MoPac: I've had good luck personally with using mainline builds, and I'd say that it's safer and easier to try a mainline kernel and look into Ubuntu patches if something stops working, rather than blindly try to apply patches you don't understand. [21:48] also, it says there's 0 byets of disk space [21:49] oh, sorry, i didnt see you siad to choose Something Else [21:50] what else from there? [21:50] grap k1l i was on the wrong tab, sorry [21:50] crap* [21:53] hi === bob is now known as Guest56724 [21:54] guest211211: it's the window that says install ubuntu , use encryption, etc. [21:58] had to reboot, i should use the parameters [21:58] linux (hd0,msdos1)/casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset -- initrd /casper/initrd.lz , then type boot [21:58] right [22:04] i read that as part of 15.04 was to not have global menus anymore but i updated to 15.04 and i still get global menus. do i need to manually disable it? [22:04] Ok, I'm back at my desktop, but last time I was here, I couldn't start the installer, I clicked it and nothing happened [22:04] i'll try again and then leave it for a bit [22:04] guest211211: type dmesg [22:04] in a terminal and see if you get any errors [22:05] guest211211: type lspci -k | grep -A2 VGA | nc termbin.com 9999 and paste the link [22:05] in what? grep? terminal? [22:06] god, im sorry, i cant see half the messages here [22:06] hello problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/11191959/ ardour3 in cinnamo descktop, no ingles :( im sorry [22:06] so unity does start but the taskbar and window manager dont start when i log in [22:07] george2002: what's your mother language? [22:07] dmesg gives me that spurious response thing i told you about earlier, you said it was audio drivers [22:07] español [22:07] !es [22:07] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:07] no rep en ubuntu-es [22:08] pleace 1 link the solution [22:08] EriC^^, the link is http://termbin.cm/zov5 [22:08] http://termbin.com/zov5, sorry [22:10] george2002: we will not be able to help you track down the cause for a segmentation fault in a language you do not understand. Sorry. [22:10] clicking the installer still doesnt seem to really do anyhting, im going to let it sit for a while. still getting that 0 bytes memory thing that i can ignore [22:10] where is the icon file stored for Backups aka deja-dup [22:10] mcphail, thamk === newbie is now known as Guest7663 [22:12] george2002: ulimit [22:12] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER skyDalton mmwvsttehcff [22:12] skyDalton: doh [22:13] guest211211: open a terminal and type dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 [22:13] cyberpolice, /usr/share/icons [22:14] mcphail, Grace for trying to help [22:14] OerHeks: thanks, my friend [22:14] it didnt return a link, i think its because that error loop is infinite. the audio driver one. [22:16] guest211211: ok type dmesg, press ctrl+c, then paste it in paste.ubuntu.com [22:16] george2002: de nada :) [22:17] :) [22:17] i can't do that, if i type dmesg in there it's going to go for an infinite loop and lock up my terminal [22:17] ola [22:18] i dont really care if the laptop doesn't have sound or whatever it is, is this crucial to just getting ubuntu installed? [22:18] 0olaa [22:18] guest211211: type dmesg | grep -v snd [22:19] spanish?? [22:19] !es | oriol [22:19] oriol: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:20] ok, again that gives me a problem with it. its just a bunch of lines saying buffer overflow or something similar [22:21] you said those were just audio drivers earlier, my laptop got damaged by rain and the speakres are just messed up, i dont care about the speakers, can we just focus on getting ubuntu installed? [22:21] guest211211: can you just not whine dude [22:21] guest211211: i'm trying to see if it says anything about why the installer has stalled [22:22] alright, i'm sorry. i'll go check and see what it says [22:22] the lines are all of the format [22:23] [993.820356] (though it gradually inccreases) systemd-journald[876]: /dev/kmsg buffer overrun, some messages lo [22:23] type sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel [22:23] and it cuts off because for some reason my screen resolution is real small === tomas_ is now known as Guest53639 [22:23] FATAL: module snd_hda_intel is in use [22:25] guest211211: try dmesg | grep ubiquity [22:25] done, nothing [22:26] guest211211: try grep ubiquity /var/log/syslog [22:28] still nothing [22:28] try dmesg | grep -i error [22:28] try a mini.iso maybe? [22:28] !mini [22:28] 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 [22:31] time for a new lappy my friend [22:33] guest211211: the mini.iso might work, it's worth a shot [22:34] download and make a live usb, it's only like 30mb and you'll see if it will work or not [22:35] hmm [22:35] im a bit confused on that, i'm going to try Try Ubuntu again, i got it to work earlier [22:36] the installer gets hung up when i launch it with the parameters, it didnt get hungu p when i normally hit the try option [22:37] and then black screen. ugh. could we do something with partitions? the partitions we made last night might have gotten wiped [22:38] that's irrelevant [22:39] simple(hopefully) grep question, when I cat my network list for SSID it also returns BSSID, how can I tell it to only get SSID ? I've tried grep "SSID" networks [22:39] should i use the miniiso in the same manner as the regular kind? [22:39] SSID 1 : YellowRabbit BSSID 1 : b4:75:0e:a7:ef:70 SSID 2 : YellowRabbit-guest BSSID 1 : b4:75:0e:a7:ef:71 SSID 3 : Bozo family BSSID 1 : 7c:e9:d3:9c:e3:ee [22:39] I'm running xfce, and pgadmin seems to be ignoring keystrokes every so often. Does anybody know anything about this? [22:40] n0rb: grep ^SSID [22:40] Other gui applications (including ones based on wxWidgets like code::blocks) do not appear to have the same problem. [22:41] <_xer0> Hello everybody! [22:41] eric, tyvm i am a nub [22:41] guest211211: yes [22:41] n0rb: no problem [22:42] <_xer0> Anyone have any trouble with a wired connection with 15.04 not grabbing an address but the led indicators are up? [22:42] <_xer0> and DHCP is on. === john is now known as Guest60846 [22:44] I have a basic postfix question. I want to setup a mail forward for my domain using postfix. I setup everything according to http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-bsd-postfix-forward-email-to-another-account/ and as I understand it this only forwards to one address (a catchall). Am I safe from being an open-relay? [22:44] 15.04 sucks for wifi imo [22:44] <_xer0> blorg: it's LAN though [22:45] I don't know. Wifi works out the box on 14.04. on 14.10 and on 15.10 just buggin on 15.04. [22:46] <_xer0> blorg: hmmm... you know I never tried to use 14.04 with a wired connection.. [22:46] <_xer0> blorg: or 14.10 for that matter [22:48] njero: this isn't the correct channel for such a question. But, in answer, the steps on that page look reasonable (at a quick glance). That's not to say the rest of your configuration is correct or that you aren't an open relay due to some other mistake. [22:48] thanks mcphail, that helps a ton [22:49] njero: there are lots of services which will check to see if you're running an open relay [22:50] EriC^^, the correct lines of code to get the Try Ubuntu option to at least launch was [22:50] linux (hd0,msdos1)/casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset -- initrd /casper/initrd.lz , then type boot [22:50] correct? i want to try poking around in terminal again [22:50] mcphail: thanks, I just checked a tool and it confirmed I am not open but found some other problems for me to work on. I really appreciate it and continue to love the #ubuntu community [22:50] cheers [22:50] guest211211: try the mini.iso, trust me [22:51] alright, i will. i can use lili with it right [22:51] yeah i think so [22:51] LMAO my power button is a bit loose now after rebooting so many times [22:52] making the mini iso now [22:52] njero: enjoy postfix. It'll keep you busy :) [22:52] heh, no doubt [23:01] ok, at the mini iso screen. can i just hit install or do i need to do command line install or an advanced option [23:06] EriC^^, i just want to confirm i wont horribly screw something up if i try to install === mukhbiir is now known as neoark [23:09] guest211211: What release in the mini .iso are you attempting to install ? [23:10] 15.04 [23:10] _xer0 : all i'm saying is that 15.10 beta is > 15.04 at least for some wifi. [23:11] bashy: How about trying with 14.04 ? As 15.04 is systemd; we are much more familiar with 14.04's upstart . [23:11] Is there a good way I can tell which of my usb ports on an older laptop are usb 2.0 and which are usb 1.1? [23:12] anon fatal[get_ip_address:pptp.c:437]: getaddrinfo(): Name or service not known [23:12] anyoine know this error ? [23:12] dna113p: you would never see mixed mode on the same laptop [23:13] ok, i'll use 14.04 then [23:13] daftykins: When i use lsusb... I see a couple things that say 2.0 root hub... .and some that say 1.1 root hub [23:13] funky [23:13] what make + model? [23:14] Its an asus g50vt-x5 laptop [23:14] Hey I'm in a bind, I just finished install Ubuntu Gnome a laptop, and I've never had this problem until the latest release, but whenever trying to install updates, it continually says it's configuring policykit-1 and doesn't stop. Anyone know what is happening? [23:14] guest211211: We get 14.04 installed (Long Term Support) at some later time you can try 15.04 - is what I think . [23:14] probably 4 or 5 years old [23:14] in ubuntu mate 15.04: anyone able to play files in VLC from SMB: in Caja [23:15] dna113p: then there's no way anything of that age has USB 1.1 [23:15] What do you think this could be? Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub [23:16] Can anyone help please? [23:17] you have to be patient [23:17] alright, im getting 14.04 [23:17] now, just to be sure, i can go ahead and install it normally? [23:18] guest211211: Well. the mini .iso has a text based installer. There is no desktop with it .. but all we want to know is if it boots . !md5sum | guest211211 [23:20] guest211211: if you ever want to use uefi, partition manually and leave the efi partition we made in tact [23:20] guest211211: otherwise just install as usual and i guess it would wipe everything and partition === Munt_ is now known as Munt [23:21] EriC^^: Let me check, seems I recall the mini .iso does not support UEFI (???) . [23:21] lets see [23:21] !mini [23:21] 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.

[23:22] hmm [23:25] EriC^^: guest211211 :: still worth a shot in 'legacy' mode . [23:35] i read that as part of 15.04 was to not have global menus anymore but i updated to 15.04 and i still get global menus. do i need to manually disable it? [23:35] guest211211: how's it going?

How do I wipe/format/ anything something that even Gparted on live can't handle? [23:48] So, after hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with my ubuntuinstall I bought a new USB memory. Yea. The bloody USB memory was broken. [23:49] VanDerGroot: shame, just running the checker should've shown that [23:49] It didn't [23:50] VanDerGroot: :) Good to know, when all else fails, spare off the hardware ! [23:50] Considering I had used the same memory to install windows just a few hours earlier it took a while to get the idea that it was to blame. :P [23:51] I get the following when entering some commands in Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS [23:51] no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory [23:51] zombie process?

[23:53] aimnano, have fun :-) [23:53] aimnano, that -r does the format in one go [23:53] it is optional, i didn't know what was it purpose at first === zz_Thelks is now known as Thelks
