[00:03] <randomname> Does anyone happen to know how to tell Ubuntu server where to install?   It actually installed on the space where I formatted a new partition, but it never asked me where to install it and it amazed me by not overwriting my Kubuntu install on the other hard drive.
[00:05] <randomname> Evidently not.  Someone at a linux meetup just showed me this chat and here I am chatting, as randomname
[00:06] <scatterp> hi
[00:06] <scatterp> typically you have to wait a while :)
[00:06] <randomname> Hi!
[00:06] <william_vilas> hi
[00:07] <scatterp> during the install you should see a page where it asks you to set up partitions thats where you select the location
[00:07] <randomname> I set up a partition but if there was a place to select the location I missed it.
[00:08] <william_vilas> someone from brazil ?
[00:09] <scatterp> william i speak spanish
[00:09] <scatterp> randomname, yeah you missed it watch a youtube video of the install process to see it again
[00:10] <william_vilas> i speak spanish little scatterp
[00:10] <xangua> !pt
[00:11] <william_vilas> xangua: yes
[00:11] <randomname> What specific You Tube video, on how to install Ubuntu Server?
[00:11] <Bashing-om> randomname: When prior partitioning for install, at the installer choode "somethiong else" ; then Make sure you have the drive you want to install onto is selected, and the partiton .
[00:11] <scatterp> randomname, one sec
[00:11] <william_vilas> xangua: kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[00:12] <randomname> Might be the issue - I hadn't yet created the partition.  Still had to format it.
[00:13] <scatterp> randomname, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RghpdQH1bpo (9:43 main part you want to see)
[00:13] <EriC^^> randomname: if it sees unallocated space the installer will use that to install ubuntu, i think
[00:14] <happyfr0gg> I am using XFCE in Ubuntu with LXDE installed as well and am not able to change my login background. How do I fix this?
[00:14] <randomname> There was also whether I was supposed to make it bootable, it said if I did Grub might blow up or something so I didn't, and until I screwed up OpenBox and uninstalled it, my system could only find two of the three installations on my system at a time; either one on each drive or two on one drive.
[00:14] <randomname> And talk about blowing up Grub, I had to reinstall Grub on the OS on the OTHER hard drive.
[00:15] <scatterp> randomname, common issue
[00:16] <happyfr0gg> How do I change my login picture?
[00:25] <scatterp> i have a ubuntu system (unknown version) that i need to recover root on adding init=/bin/bash to the boot line results in file not found i was thinking to make a usb boot stick if no one else has suggestions and change root password that way unless there is another option ?
[00:25] <EriC^^> scatterp: you can try advanced > recovery from grub
[00:26] <scatterp> hrm sec
[00:26] <EriC^^> scatterp: you have to know the root password though, unless you haven't enabled the root account
[00:26] <scatterp> EriC^^, i see something like this http://cdn2.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/sshot169.png
[00:26] <scatterp> EriC^^, i dont know the root pass
[00:27] <EriC^^> have you enabled the root account?
[00:27] <cheetahw26> is there an easy way to identify all packages on one system, then write a script to install those packages on another system?  I have one box with armhf and the other with i386 architecture and I just want same packages or relative on both
[00:27] <scatterp> EriC^^,  yes i think so
[00:27] <scatterp> EriC^^, its a machine i last used 10 years ago and my account dont seem to exist anymore
[00:28] <EriC^^> scatterp: try a live usb i guess
[00:28] <scatterp> EriC^^, yeah so my original Q was which one just a live ubuntu ? and what to do once its booted?
[00:29] <cheetahw26> would something like... dpkg -l|cut -d ' ' -f3   >> some file... and then copy that file over, then run some loop to install everything be the best way?
[00:29] <EriC^^> live ubuntu would work, once it's booted mount the partitions and then chroot
[00:29] <scatterp> cheetahw26, thats more or less what i was thinking yes
[00:30] <OerHeks> "apt --installed list" or see http://askubuntu.com/questions/17823/how-to-list-all-installed-packages
[00:30] <EriC^^> cheetahw26: you can get a list of the packages with dpkg --get-selections > /path/to/packagelist
[00:30] <scatterp> cheetahw26, you might be able to just write "apt-get install" at the begining of the file and then sh myfile after that
[00:30] <OerHeks> But versions and archtecture, not sure all packages are there or needed or comming short
[00:31] <cheetahw26> yeah... seems like that might take forever though... wonder how or if it would be better to skip already installed
[00:31] <EriC^^> just use install instead of install --reinstall
[00:31] <EriC^^> it wouldn't reinstall
[00:31] <cheetahw26> apt-get -y install $x
[00:32] <scatterp> EriC^^, what do i do once its booted?
[00:32] <EriC^^> cheetahw26: this will give you a way shorter list
[00:32] <EriC^^> comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)
[00:33] <EriC^^> assuming both are using the same version of ubuntu though and are up to date
[00:33] <cheetahw26> yeah... they are, just different archs
[00:33] <EriC^^> scatterp: type sudo parted -l and paste in paste.ubuntu.com
[00:33] <cheetahw26> what does that comm command do?
[00:33] <cheetahw26> that list is way shorter...
[00:34] <EriC^^> cheetahw26: it compares the installed packages to the initially installed ones and finds the one that weren't there in the initial install
[00:34] <scatterp> EriC^^, wont have access to the machine until tomorrow
[00:34] <cheetahw26> on my armhf box I get an error about /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz...
[00:35] <cheetahw26> not found
[00:35] <scatterp> EriC^^, lets use this for example http://paste.ubuntu.com/11553486/
[00:35] <EriC^^> scatterp: mount the partitions, if you have a single "/" mount it to /mnt , if you have a separate boot partition mount it to /mnt/boot
[00:36] <scatterp> yeah then ?
[00:36] <EriC^^> then sudo chroot /mnt , you'll get a root prompt, type passwd <your user> to set the password
[00:36] <cheetahw26> all well...
[00:36] <scatterp> EriC^^,  nice thanks :)
[00:38] <scatterp> EriC^^, then sudo reboot and remove the stick at the bios screen right ?
[00:38] <cheetahw26> I'm going to do a check against dpkg -l  list... apt-get on all of those will consume time
[00:38] <EriC^^> scatterp: yeah, then type exit to exit the chroot and reboot
[00:39] <scatterp> thx
[00:39] <EriC^^> np
[00:40] <william__> I have linux mint 17.1 cinnamon, and my Qtransmission Bittorrent  Client has no Icon. How do I get the Icon ?
[00:41] <Ben64> ask the mint support channel, #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[00:44] <randomname> I've got a question.  I seem to have Oops errors caused by probably XScreensaver (for Kubuntu or KDE) messing with my video drivers.  Got rid of XScreensaver but it installed ten million libraries, some of them outmoded.
[00:45] <psusi> randomname, ok... so what's the question?
[00:46] <randomname> Anyhow, I got left wtih Oops erros followed by hang, the traceback focuses on the nouveau, which is the Linux version nvidea drivers, and the repeated passthroughs spread to involve Cairo Dock, which is all advanced graphical driver.
[00:47] <psusi> and?
[00:47] <randomname> So over a week ago I reinstalled the Nvidia version of the nvidia drivers, but evidently it's still using the nouveau ones.  How to fix?
[00:47] <psusi> ohh... that's odd...
[00:48] <EriC^^> randomname: blacklist them
[00:48] <randomname> how?
[00:48] <randomname> Think I encountered this with the drivers for the former network interface card on my laptop.  Notice the word former.
[00:48] <EriC^^> echo "blacklist nouveau" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[00:50] <EriC^^> randomname: then sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
[00:51] <randomname> Are you telling me I have to do the sudo mdprobe -r (what I don't want to use) and then sudo modprobe what I do want to use, like I did with the former wireless (not nic) card and the default network manager that I changed ti WICD because it's easier to use?
[00:52] <randomname> Only with the video drivers instead of the wireless drivers?
[00:52] <EriC^^> randomname: no
[00:52] <randomname> Help me, Lord.
[00:52] <EriC^^> blacklist the driver, update the initrd and reboot
[00:53] <psusi> randomname, umm.. no... you can't remove a module that is in use.. he's telling you to blacklist the module so it won't ever be used, update your initrd, and reboot
[00:53] <randomname> So after I blacklist nouveau, how do I make it use the nvidia drivers?
[00:53] <EriC^^> if you have it installed it should use it i guess
[00:53] <randomname> Also, would remove nouveau in a more global way actually get rid of it?
[00:53] <randomname> Can try it.
[00:53] <psusi> it should already be using it, but then it should certainly use it if nouveau is not even an option
[00:54] <randomname> OK.  I'll give it a try.   Evil chuckle.
[00:55] <EriC^^> /var/log/Xorg.0.log might tell you more about what's going on
[00:55] <randomname> Thanks!  I will definitely take a look at it.
[00:56] <randomname> Is there a specific X error log?
[00:56] <randomname> Also, would the window manager have logs that would tell  me anything?  It's Kubuntu with the window manager that came with it.
[00:57] <psusi> ./var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:57] <randomname> That's the error log?  Or the log that will show me errors?
[00:58] <EriC^^> randomname: it's a log and (EE) are errors
[00:58] <randomname> Oh, why the . in front of ./var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[00:58] <psusi> <dumb look> the error log is the log that will show you errors...
[00:58] <psusi> so that IRC didn't interpret it as a command
[01:01] <EriC^^> randomname: the desktop manager might have some info, /var/log/kdm i guess, but more likely the graphics errors might be in Xorg.0.log
[01:02] <randomname> Thanks!
[01:03] <EriC^^> np
[01:06] <hermaeus-mora> hey all
[01:06] <PoolShark_> hey
[01:07] <hermaeus-mora> i am testing a new irc client
[01:08] <PoolShark_> The Mint people sent me here... I'm trying to find out why snapshot functionality has been stripped from the version of virt-manager that ships with Ubuntu/Mint...
[01:09] <randomname> Hey, I've got my own Mint altered it and what did they do questions - and I've not been able to find answers ANYWHERE.  Starting with the different way APT works.
[01:10] <randomname> I think reason is to prove they're superior beings - honestly.   Ask how to work APT and all you get is let know your place in the superior being world.
[01:10] <randomname> Now, I must say THIS chat is so different - I was told people are helpful here, and... Wow!
[01:10] <cheetahw26> I haven't played with mint yet... what are the advantages of it?
[01:12] <randomname> I honestly haven't found where it has any.  It looks ugly, it works different, and you can't get help.   It appears newbie friendly upfront until the first time you have any problem.   I'm sure glad I didn't put it on the computer my friend bought
[01:13] <randomname> I was told drivers tend to work better in Mint.  Usually they work the same.  When they dno't Ubuntu has the advantage.
[01:14] <randomname> Many differences in what works have to do with changes to the file structure.
[01:14] <PoolShark_> Yeah I am on the fence about Mint... I have a quad-core Kabini with 16GB RAM and I feel like I'm using a 386
[01:14] <somsip> !mint
[01:14] <somsip> So it's very much offtopic here
[01:16] <randomname> I hear you.  Won't help to seek help on Mint help forums though.
[01:16] <randomname> Definitely not where to look for objectivity on using Mint.
[01:20] <randomname> nick villandra
[01:20] <Radar> We just had apparmor cost us about an hour of downtime
[01:20] <Radar> How can we investigate why the apparmor rules changed?
[01:21] <Radar> Is there a guide for apparmor that I can read?
[01:25] <wastrel> the main purpose of mint is that they install non-free stuff by default i believe
[01:25] <wastrel> not that i know anything about mint
[01:25] <tgm4883> Radar: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-server
[01:26] <Radar> tgm4883: thanks
[01:26] <randomname> There's a ubuntu-server?
[01:27] <randomname> That's the main PURPOSE of Mint?  But I install the nonfree stuff when I do the first ten things you do in Ubuntu after I install Ubuntu.
[01:27] <randomname> I've got a page and its link saved.  I'm no thome though.
[01:28] <EriC^^> mint is supposed to be less bloaty and more practical i guess
[01:29] <Ben64> either way, mint does not belong in #ubuntu
[01:30] <randomname> Well, it has hardly any software.  In theory you can use Ubuntu repositories but when you do half the time it doesnt work and if you ask for help you get told Naughty Naughty, don't mess with stuff beyond your ability because you're no account anyway.
[01:30] <randomname> AND you shouldn't be using Ubunt because people who do taht aren't even human.  Or something.
[01:30] <EriC^^> ubuntu is usually called linux for humans
[01:30] <randomname> AND we dont talk about Ubuntu here.  STRICTLY taboo.   I don't think so!
[01:31] <randomname> I've never seen such attitudes, and in my 58 years of living, I've definitely seen attitudes.
[01:31] <randomname> LOL.  Thank you, EriC!
[01:33] <EriC^^> it's all just distros in the end, i've only ever been to their support channel once, but they were really helpful
[01:34] <randomname> I guess there's no such thing as "just distros".
[01:34] <randomname> I didn't find anyone connected with Mint helpful.  Possible we were on different support channels, I went to the default one.
[01:41] <DylanRJ> Has anyone gotten Ubuntu on a Chromebook Pixel 2? Not with Crouton, but with a regular install?
[01:41] <n-iCe> how do I stop Ubuntu to ask me about the keyring password or something like that
[01:41] <parsec2284> hi how do i browse te pay for apps on ubuntu
[01:41] <parsec2284> i have ubuntu studio
[01:41] <parsec2284> 15.04
[01:42] <parsec2284> i see no way to check out the pay store
[01:42] <Ben64> open the software center
[01:42] <parsec2284> would like to see if anything attracts my interest
[01:42] <xangua> n-iCe: disable automatic login
[01:43] <DylanRJ> If you don't have the software center for whatever reason, open the Terminal and type "sudo apt-get install software-center"
[01:43] <parsec2284> its open but i see no pay for products
[01:43] <n-iCe> xangua: not that password, the keyring password
[01:43] <DylanRJ> That's because most of the stuff available on Linux is free
[01:43] <parsec2284> on ubuntu studio lxde 15.04
[01:43] <parsec2284> true
[01:43] <parsec2284> but
[01:43] <DylanRJ> What type of stuff are you looking for?
[01:43] <parsec2284> pixel art tools
[01:43] <DylanRJ> You can install Steam and buy games on there if you'd like
[01:44] <DylanRJ> install GIMP, it can do pixel art well
[01:44] <wastrel> are you good at pixel art DylanRJ
[01:44] <parsec2284> i remember seeing a commercial painting app in ubuntu store that was really cool
[01:44] <DylanRJ> I'm not a pixel artist, or any kind of artist for that matter
[01:44] <parsec2284> i try
[01:45] <DylanRJ> I just know GIMP is a good graphics and photo editing software from what everyone says
[01:45] <parsec2284> gimp is alright
[01:45] <parsec2284> it hard to do isometric lines
[01:45] <wastrel> gimp has afaik zero pixel art tools
[01:46] <parsec2284> this is true
[01:46] <DylanRJ> What do you need other than the pencil tool?
[01:46] <parsec2284> i would like to see the ubuntu store apps
[01:46] <parsec2284> to see if they have any cool painting programs
[01:47] <parsec2284> i saw a really cool commercial paint progam a while back
[01:47] <parsec2284> but i cant see the commercial apps in the store
[01:47] <parsec2284> just free
[01:47] <parsec2284> using 15.04 lxde
[01:47] <xangua> (20:42:25) Ben64: open the software center
[01:47] <parsec2284> do i need to be using the rgular ubuntu
[01:48] <Ben64> on the top where it says "all software" change that to "for purchase"
[01:48] <parsec2284> i did
[01:48] <parsec2284> k
[01:48] <DylanRJ> Just curious, why do you want to pay for software so bad?
[01:48] <parsec2284> i did try that
[01:48] <parsec2284> its empty
[01:48] <parsec2284> thats the problem
[01:48] <parsec2284> should list commercial apps
[01:49] <parsec2284> because i like what i saw
[01:50] <wastrel> maybe you don't have the partner repos enabled?
[01:50] <parsec2284> ok
[01:50] <parsec2284> let me try to enable them
[01:51] <DylanRJ> Does anyone here use Ubuntu MATE?
[01:59] <xangua> !ask | DylanRJ
[01:59] <DylanRJ> I didn't ask to ask a question, did I?
[02:00] <DylanRJ> Sorry if it sounds like I did
[02:03] <somsip> DylanRJ: just ask your real question
[02:04] <dugler> hi people, can I do ssh to a server if I have private key of that server?
[02:05] <somsip> dugler: the server needs the public key relating to the private key you are using
[02:05] <Democulous> Hello, no matter what I do, I cannot install Wine on Ubuntu 15.04, wine : Depends: wine1.6 but it is not going to be installed
[02:06] <Democulous> wine1.6 : Depends: wine1.6-i386 (= 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu8) but it is not installable
[02:06] <dugler> somsip: couldn't get you well, do  you mean public key of system from which I want to access server should be authorized by server?
[02:07] <somsip> dugler: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_keys#Background
[02:08] <k1lumin4t1> Hi there
[02:08] <k1lumin4t1> I've recently upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 through the ubuntu update manager; but now KDE session won't start
[02:08] <k1lumin4t1> Any other Desktop Envrionment loads correctly
[02:10] <dugler> somsip: I am aware of it, but the thing is I got a client, he sent me mail with an attachment 'server_key.pem' I can't even open file that is password protected. In the mail he stated please find attached private key to have ssh access to the server
[02:10] <somsip> dugler: is the server on AWS?
[02:10] <dugler> this thing making me confuse, wondering if there is a way I could ssh with only server's private key
[02:10] <dugler> somsip: yes it is on  AWS
[02:11] <somsip> dugler: ssh -i server_key.pem user@address (should work if you have correct user)
[02:11] <somsip> dugler: the pem is a particular format of public key generated within the AWS account and applied to that server
[02:12] <dugler> somsip: I don't even know user name :s
[02:12] <wastrel> try root
[02:12] <somsip> dugler: if it's runnig ubuntu, assume ubuntu. It should not have root enabled for any reason
[02:12] <dugler> wastrel: going to try it, thanks
[02:13] <somsip> dugler: the standard AWS AMIs all use ubuntu as the common user
[02:15] <somsip> s/all/that I've used
[02:15] <dugler> somsip: I am getting Permissions 0640 for 'BN_ERP_Key.pem' are too open.
[02:15] <maxxxxx> Heyo what changes between 14 and 15 on utopic unicorn?
[02:16] <maxxxxx> Anything major?
[02:16] <somsip> dugler: change it to 600 (chmod 600 server_key.pem)
[02:16] <dugler>  WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!
[02:16] <mapu> good evening. I have a package whos status is showing "iU" - what does that mean?
[02:17] <dugler> somsip: thank you, it worked
[02:17] <somsip> dugler: so you're sorted?
[02:17] <dugler> so should I copy public key of my system to server?
[02:17] <dugler> somsip: yes I am in
[02:18] <dugler> with 'ubuntu'
[02:18] <dugler> root was not allowed , it was on bitnami so bitnami is also working
[02:18] <dugler> thanks
[02:18] <somsip> dugler: you do not need to add your own public key. User ubuntu has been set up with a key-pair and you have the private key. I said public earlier - I was wrong
[02:19] <dugler> somsip: so everytime I should access in same way?
[02:19] <somsip> dugler: yes (see man ssh_config to set up easier access)
[02:19] <dugler> I mean like  ssh -i server_key.pem user@address
[02:19] <somsip> dugler: yes
[02:20] <dugler> okay thanks

[02:48] <dupingping> I need to wait more days?
[02:48] <dupingping> my app is in pending review.
[02:49] <dupingping> There is no moderator?
[02:49] <Flannel> dupingping: I know that this channel isn't going to be too helpful.  I *believe* the channel you're looking for is #ubuntu-touch (but if nothing else, they should be able to direct you to the people you want to talk to)
[02:51] <dupingping> Flannel, what? did you look http://i.stack.imgur.com/g03Ro.png ?
[02:51] <dupingping> It's not touch app. just Desktop apps.
[02:51] <dupingping> I dont develop any touch app now. just Desktop Apps.
[02:51] <Flannel> dupingping: Where are you trying to get that approved then?
[02:52] <dupingping> i waited for that.
[02:52] <dupingping> but i waited for 2 days for approved one.
[02:52] <Flannel> dupingping: yes.  You're trying to get something approved.  But approved to where?  What website is that?

[02:55] <DylanRJ> use Gparted
[02:56] <DylanRJ> sudo apt-get install gparted
[02:56] <rusticplague> ok cool thanks
[02:56] <DylanRJ> No problem
[02:56] <DylanRJ> It's not in the terminal though, it's a GUI in Ubuntu
[02:57] <rusticplague> thats even better
[02:57] <OerHeks> that will be an issue, hdd must not be in use. use the live cd
[02:57] <rusticplague> i want to physically see windows die
[02:57] <DylanRJ> Oh, OerHeks is right. You will need to use a live CD
[02:57] <rusticplague> eh ok
[02:58] <DylanRJ> Forgot about that. I usually nuke and pave stuff
[02:58] <rusticplague> ok
[02:58] <rusticplague> exit

[03:17] <happyfr0gg> In XFCE I installed lightdm-gtk-greeter and now my default login screen has changed. How do I change it back?
[03:19] <iveth> alguienn en español?
[03:19] <iveth> saludos desde costa rica
[03:31] <happyfr0gg> How do I restore my default Ubuntu login screen??
[03:31] <dupingping> happyfr0gg, reboot.
[03:34] <OerHeks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Changing_the_Greeter
[03:34] <happyfr0gg> dupingping, I did and it doesn't come back.
[03:37] <happyfr0gg> I issued this  command in XFCE, sudo apt-fast install lightdm-gtk-greeter.
[03:39] <happyfr0gg> Now my default Ubuntu login screen is changed to one with no background pictures and a login dialogue box.
[03:40] <happyfr0gg> I want to change my login screen back to the Ubuntu default.
[03:59] <happyfr0gg> I restored my default Ubuntu login screen. Now I need to restore the default login picture.  :-/
[04:12] <EADG> Hello all.
[04:14] <rusticplague> hey i need some help
[04:15] <rusticplague> i just deleted windows 7 duel boot cause it had a trojan on it. i used Gparted and i notice more partitions and i have no idea what they are
[04:18] <digcloud> when I "ssh -i /path/to/key username@host", it still prompts me for a password. How can I force it to use the key for authentication?
[04:22] <scarleo> Hi, pm-powersave isn't called anymore when unplugging my charger, this has happened after upgrading to Vivid, how can I debug it? Should I see the unplug event logged in dmesg?
[04:22] <xcezzz> digcloud: its probably your remote host not having the proper key to allow you to login
[04:23] <digcloud> xcezzz: I think it might be that I had the wrong user.
[04:23] <xcezzz> digcloud: lol that helps
[04:23] <digcloud> xcezzz: but now that I'm using a different user, it attempts to use the key, but asks for a passphrase, but I didn't set a passphrase (at least I didn't mean to)
[04:25] <digcloud> If I ran "ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f /home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa", wouldn't I expect to have a key without a passphrase?
[04:25] <xcezzz> digcloud: you try entering a blank passphrase when prompted?
[04:26] <squabbler> I need some help with setting up symlinks with Apache 2.4.7 from html dir -> documents/dev dir
[04:26] <digcloud> xcezzz: ugh, I'm such a newbie. I was using the public key. When I use the private key, I can get in just fine. Thanks for your help
[04:26] <xcezzz> digcloud: heh... so check it... ssh-copy-id will copy your ID to the remote host
[04:27] <squabbler> I'm getting forbidden error in the browser, and not sure what to do
[04:27] <xcezzz> digcloud: as long as you only have one identity file in your .ssh directory 'id_rsa' it will always use that and you dont have to specify manually
[04:27] <tgm4883> ccccccbufndfknelcljevjnhjbekbblcglhcukceirke
[04:28] <digcloud> xcezzz: cool, thanks. I'll master Linux eventually
[04:28] <xcezzz> squabbler: look on google for info about FollowSymLinks...
[04:30] <moonlander> shwoom
[04:34] <le_pig> xcezzz, thanks for the tip about not needing to specify manually in that case. :)
[04:35] <B0g4r7> Is old-releases.ubuntu.com down?  Any alternative I should use?
[04:35] <moonlander> how old?
[04:35] <moonlander> google is bretty gud
[04:35] <fishcooker> is there any problem if i limit the mem usage of syslog-ng because it frequently  Mem used: 93.81%.. *note: there is no proposal to upgrade the RAM?
[04:36] <moonlander> if you can't find a ive archive on ubuntu, you may be able to find an older hosted version on a debian server
[04:36] <Flannel> B0g4r7: It appears to be timing out.  I don't know of any mirrors.  Might just have to wait.
[04:36] <B0g4r7> Flannel, thx.
[04:36] <moonlander> wait for what
[04:36] <moonlander> waiting for a mirror has not been an issue since the 90s?
[04:37] <moonlander> maybe earlier in implementation!
[04:37] <gkad> what's the command to install fonts in xubuntu
[04:37] <moonlander> what fonts
[04:37] <gkad> ttf fonts
[04:38] <moonlander> which aren't installed by default?
[04:39] <gkad> i'm new to tuxtrans. In that I would like to install tamil.ttf fonts. I could not copy the ttf in /usr/share/fonts/truetype, will you pls help me
[04:39] <moonlander> oops i'm in the worng channel. though i am to be here just responding in a different context
[04:40] <nimbiotics> Hello everyone. I am mounting 3 different devices, one of them with curlftpfs. How do I make these mounts permanent? TIA!
[04:40] <moonlander> there doesn't seem to a package that provides that font. you can download it and install it in /usr/share/fonts
[04:42] <Guest81309> what is the difference between building package from source vs using apt-get install {Package} ?
[04:42] <moonlander> nimbiotics, add them to fstab
[04:43] <moonlander> Guest81309, you 'build' one from source vs installing a 'pre-compiled' version.
[04:43] <Guest81309> i mean like what is the benifit/point?
[04:43] <OerHeks> Guest81309, if you don't change build options, nothing. just time.
[04:43] <moonlander> options
[04:44] <dora> Hi, I have a question.  I need to know how to read my x-0.log .  It appears to be in binary.
[04:44] <moonlander> customizability. complete transparency
[04:44] <Guest81309> what can you customize?
[04:44] <Guest81309> with the build source option i mena
[04:44] <moonlander> don't trust the binary provided by the author (sourceforge)? build it; make mods; run it
[04:47] <moonlander> it may be too early in our evolution for 'build it' to be a commonplace phrase, but i suspect it will be as commonplace as 'dude' LOL
[04:47] <Guest81309> got it
[04:48] <Guest81309> what is the point of fakeroot command?
[04:49] <dora> How do I read the x-0.log?
[04:49] <B0g4r7> Seems to be working again now.  :)
[04:49] <moonlander> what is the point of life?
[04:50] <Flannel> moonlander: To remain on-topic in #ubuntu.
[04:50] <dora> OK, back tomorrow when earthlings are here.
[04:50] <moonlander> why is it off topic?
[04:50] <Flannel> moonlander: This is a technical support channel.  If you want to talk about other things, go to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[04:51] <moonlander> you're making an assumption
[04:51] <moonlander> non-technical
[04:51] <Flannel> moonlander: I assure you that a discussion about the meaning of life is not ubuntu technical support.
[04:51] <moonlander> that was not my question
[04:51] <Guest98382> to do heroin
[04:52] <nimbiotics> moonlander: can you explain me how to add them to fstab?
[04:52] <Guest98382> nimbiotics: copy and line that is there and use it as a template
[04:53] <B0g4r7> Now to upgrade from 11.04 to 14.04 and also convert from Desktop to Server.
[04:54] <moonlander> wow that's a good question (for me). i'm used the the script gen fstab
[04:54] <Flannel> B0g4r7: Your best bet is to reinstall.
[04:55] <moonlander> there has to be something...
[04:55] <Guest81309> what is the point of fakeroot is you can just use normal user privledges(non-root) like write and read(for the user)?
[04:56] <moonlander> if you have admin priv
[04:56] <moonlander> even though. if someone has access to your puter, it's better for it to be encrypted than to resort to filesystem permission
[04:57] <moonlander> anyone can boot up a livecd and copy the sam file from a windows disk...
[04:57] <B0g4r7> Flannel, IDK...I did it on another VM last night and it went OK.  I expect the same this time.  I backed up first of course.
[04:58] <Flannel> B0g4r7: You'd need to go 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 (and convert from desktop to server, which isn't ever clean, somewhere in there).  Much easier to just install a 14.04 server fresh.
[05:00] <B0g4r7> Flannel, yup, that's how it went.  At the 12.04 stage I did Desktop-->Server.
[05:00] <mcr-pc> hlw
[05:00] <mcr-pc> ping txt
[05:00] <Flannel> B0g4r7: I didn't say it can't be done, but I just don't see the appeal.
[05:01] <mcr-pc> hlw
[05:04] <Guest81309> what is the point of fakeroot if you should already have normal(not root) user privledges to read.write files?
[05:04] <B0g4r7> The appeal is that I can be lazy and let the computer do the work.
[05:05] <B0g4r7> Instead of having to remember how I had everything configured.
[05:06] <mcr-pc> hlw
[05:08] <shadaloo> hi
[05:08] <shadaloo> i switched over from amd64 to intel i7
[05:09] <shadaloo> and ubuntu is still downloading amd64 packages when I update
[05:09] <shadaloo> is there some way I can not
[05:09] <knocktwice> I though amd64 was the generic name. works with i7
[05:09] <shadaloo> oh okay
[05:09] <shadaloo> thanks
[05:10] <shadaloo> just thought it was strange
[05:10] <shadaloo> ubuntu was downloading two versions of the same package
[05:10] <shadaloo> amd64 and i386
[05:11] <knocktwice> huh.  If you're running 64-bit amd/intel, afaik it should be the amd64 packages.
[05:11] <knocktwice> i386 is for 32bit
[05:11] <shadaloo> oh lol
[05:11] <shadaloo> alright thanks for the schooling
[05:11] <shadaloo> cheers
[05:11] <knocktwice> but I'm no expert on the package system.
[05:54] <zbbix> I have a log file I would like to rotate, I specified a logrotate config for it to rotate every 100mb and placed the config in /etc/logrotate.d/mylog, then I copied the logrotate cron job from /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.hourly. Now, about 18 hours later, the log never rotated and when I cat /var/lib/logrotate/status, I don't see it on the list. Any ideas?
[06:00] <histo> zbbix: I don't remember created a cron job for my logrotate I setup. I just made a config in logrotate.d I believe let me double check
[06:01] <zbbix> histo: In any case, it'
[06:01] <zbbix> histo: In any case, the logrotation did not work
[06:01] <zbbix> histo: This is my config: http://pastebin.com/AvKhZ8Wt
[06:03] <histo> zbbix: don't you ahve to specify a time to rotate?
[06:04] <zbbix> histo: I was under the impression that I can specify a size without a time
[06:04] <histo> zbbix: yes your right
[06:04] <zbbix> I want to rotate whenever the log reaches 1gb
[06:05] <histo> zbbix: did you restart the logrotate service?
[06:05] <zbbix> histo: No.. should I? I thought it ran via cron
[06:06] <histo> zbbix: systemctl status logrotate
[06:06] <zbbix> systemctl: command not found
[06:07] <histo> zbbix: what distro are you on?
[06:07] <zbbix> Ubuntu 14.04
[06:08] <zbbix> sudo service --status-all | grep logrotate - shows nothing
[06:08] <histo> Doesn't 14.04 use systemd?
[06:08] <histo> zbbix: hrm... is that log 1Gig yet?
[06:09] <lotuspsychje> histo: trusty is still init system
[06:09] <histo> ahh
[06:09]  * histo hasn't been on ubuntu in awhile
[06:10] <no_gravity> Is there a reason, you put the fs type into fstab but when you mount on the command line, you don't need to? or is it enough to just put "/dev/sdaX /mnt/something" into fstab too?
[06:11] <histo> no_gravity: mount will autodetect the filesystem 'sometimes' when you use the command line
[06:12] <histo> no_gravity: fstab doesn't have that luxury
[06:12] <no_gravity> maybe "/dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 auto rw 0 0" will do?
[06:12] <histo> no_gravity: but why?  is there a problem with specifying the fs
[06:13] <no_gravity> hard to say. i prefer "auto".
[06:14] <no_gravity> ok, rebooting...
[06:19] <jessabc> ever wonder why ubuntu gui looks so bad when apple does such a good job?
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> jessabc: take a look on deviantart, ubuntu has most nice user desktops
[06:20] <xangua> jessabc: they only have 1 one gui
[06:35] <jango42> hi
[06:37] <blondie101010> where can we find the compile script used for Apache (using ubuntu 14.04)?
[06:40] <jango42> Blondie101010 youwant to install Apachce?
[06:44] <Ubuntu75192> is there a single command that updates the kernel fully?
[06:44] <histo> Ubuntu75192: what do you mean updates fully?
[06:44] <Ubuntu75192> get the latest kernel with one command
[06:45] <Ubuntu75192> if possible will probs need full pc restart
[06:45] <drmagoo> Anyone here on 14.04 with a nvidia gtx9XX-card and using xorg-edgers drivers? When I try to install the drivers from there, it doesnt install the Xorg-driver. Any ideas?
[06:46] <Ubuntu75192> so yes or no/
[06:47] <xangua> why do you want the latest kernel¿
[06:47] <xangua> Ubuntu75192: kernel.org
[06:47] <Ubuntu75192> not possible to do it all via commandline?
[06:48] <Ubuntu75192> like sudo update-kernel or something?
[06:48] <somsip> Ubuntu75192: do you mean the newest officially-support kernel, or the very newest Linux kernel?
[06:49] <Ubuntu75192> officially supported
[06:49] <somsip> Ubuntu75192: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (after an update)
[06:49] <Ubuntu75192> k
[06:49] <Ubuntu75192> thanks
[06:49] <somsip> np
[06:51] <histo> Ubuntu75192: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:53] <Ubuntu84819> if internet connection crashes during a apt-get update will running it again(with internet failure) fix it all again, since its just updating lists?
[06:53] <Ubuntu84819> as in without internet failure
[06:53] <Ben64> yeah it should
[06:53] <Ubuntu84819> and same with apt-get install
[06:54] <Ubuntu84819> just continues from what it had
[06:54] <Ubuntu84819> rihgt?
[06:54] <Ubuntu84819> right*?
[06:54] <Ben64> usually
[06:55] <Ubuntu84819> so with the update, if it fails i can always just run it again and if no errors reported then its updated correctly(even though first time it failed)?
[06:55] <Ubuntu84819> apt-get update of course
[06:56] <csrgxtu> join #openwrt
[06:56] <Ben64> Ubuntu84819: yeah
[06:56] <Ubuntu84819> got it. thanks
 #openwrt
[06:56] <neurot> csrgxtu no
[06:56] <Ben64> /join #openwrt
[06:57] <csrgxtu> neurot, thanks
[06:57] <blondie101010> sorry I got disconnected
[06:58] <kaiz> ok
[06:58] <kaiz> anyone here
[06:58] <blondie101010> are the build scripts private or taboo here?  I basically like the apache build but just want to make minor adjustments to it
[06:59] <csrgxtu> Ben64, thanks
[07:03] <histo> blondie101010: apt-get sourch somepackage
[07:03] <histo> s/sourch/source/
[07:04] <blondie101010> thanks a lot!

[07:36] <neurot> Gh0st- :-)
[07:37] <Gh0st-> neurot: do you know how can I change the port
[07:37] <histo> zbbix: sorry I didn't catch that either
[07:37] <drmagoo> can someone confirm wether nvidia-346 is part of the official repos for 15.04 ?
[07:38] <neurot> If you going to run pro ftp it is in the conf /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[07:38] <Gh0st-> neurot: do you know how can I change the port shell access
[07:38] <Gh0st-> :/
[07:39] <neurot> Gh0st- no sorry
[07:39] <Gh0st-> ssh access

Once I did I put it on a RW disc (people said it was a bad idea but it's all I have) when I went to boot from the CD it loaded up the instaler. Once it loaded I saw the 2 menus. I picked the full install and not the live preview. I got past the part where it said it would earse my hard drive (and it did). after that a thing that said chicago with a map 
[08:23] <Lebowski> menu popped up and said ??? ??? and to the left it had a - sign

[08:25] <cfhowlett> !md5summ | Lebowski, suspect you have a bad .iso or bad cd.
[08:25] <yabbes> the installation uses graphical ui
[08:25] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | Lebowski
[08:25] <yabbes> yeah download the iso again and maybe try with installation from usb
[08:25] <yabbes> it should be no problem at all to install
[08:26] <ricard> llutz is no appreciable difference?
[08:26] <Lebowski> I think the problem is the CD
[08:26] <Lebowski> I have been going at this for the past 4 hours and its now 3 in the morning
[08:26] <Lebowski> what should I do?
[08:27] <yabbes> create a new live dvd
[08:27] <yabbes> to install from
[08:28] <Lebowski> I have been using the same cd. I have erased it and reinstalled ubuntu (or at least tried) about 3 times
[08:28] <yabbes> at what point the installation fails ?
[08:29] <neurot> can he burn a cd inside the live cd environment
[08:29] <Lebowski> after it erases my hard drive
[08:29] <Lebowski> I might be able to try
[08:29] <yabbes> Lebowski, does it boot the live environment correctly ?
[08:29] <Lebowski> Yes
[08:29] <yabbes> try to redownload a non faulty version from there
[08:30] <Lebowski> All I have is the same RW DVD
[08:30] <neurot> Lebowski what Ubuntu are you wanting to install
[08:30] <neurot> 15.10
[08:31] <Lebowski> To be honest i don't really know... 14.0.2 or something
[08:31] <Lebowski> 14.04.2
[08:31] <Lebowski> thats it
[08:32] <neurot> Lebowski 14.04.2 that is the one i would do too
[08:32] <neurot> see if you can burn a new iso
[08:32] <Lebowski> @neurot you said to try and burn the iso to the disc using the live version but wouldnt that just kick me off the OS?
[08:32] <ricard> llutz is very noticeable difference between 4GB 1333 1600 or on the computer?
[08:33] <Lebowski> ??
[08:33] <neurot> Lebowski i was asking too in don't know if you can.
[08:33] <Lebowski> Oh
[08:33] <Lebowski> haha sorry
[08:34] <neurot> i think the os is running in ram so i would just see if you can
[08:34] <neurot> :-)
[08:34] <Lebowski> alright. I'll try to erase the disc and try
[08:35] <yabbes> i think it should work
[08:35] <neurot> i think so too
[08:35] <ricard> hello llutz
[08:35] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, dude.  CHECK YOUR ISO.  doesn't matter how many times you "retry".  if your .iso is bad, it's going to fail.  perform the md5sum
[08:36] <yabbes> +1 what cfhowlett said
[08:36] <merkurus> be sure about the i386 or 64
[08:36] <Lebowski> neurot idk how to find where to erase the disk on ubuntu ffs
[08:36] <Lebowski> cfhowlett would you mind linking me again?
[08:36] <cfhowlett> !md5sum | Lebowski
[08:36] <cfhowlett> !md5sum > Lebowski
[08:37] <Lebowski> okay
[08:37] <Lebowski> Let me read up on it
[08:38] <ricard> anyone know if you really notice the difference between 4GB 1333 or 1600 computer
[08:39] <Lebowski> cfhowlett I have no idea what I'm doing. I write that line in the terminal and it's supposed to spit out a line of something and I'm supposded to compare it to what?
[08:41] <neurot> Lebowski If all else fails reinstall windows if you can
[08:41] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, you gotta read the link, amgio.  you check it against this: http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/MD5SUMS
[08:42] <Lebowski> neurot I would if I had one, I tried reinstalling a torrented version of windows but it didn't work
[08:42] <Lebowski> cfhowlett, I am, bud. I don't understand what to do. I am computer illiterate
[08:42] <cfhowlett> !piracy | Lebowski
[08:43] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, you need a computer with a working OS to perform the md5sum
[08:43] <yabbes> torrent windows
[08:43] <Lebowski> okay, I'll do it on my laptop then.
[08:43] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, laptop has what OS??
[08:44] <Lebowski> yabbes I have tried that, I boot from cd but it says the files are corrupt or something
[08:44] <Lebowski> cfhowlett, Windows 8.1
[08:44] <cfhowlett> yeah not to mention virus infested.
[08:44] <yabbes> you tried what? did you check the md5 ?
[08:44] <yabbes> if md5 correct just install
[08:44] <yabbes> :P
[08:44] <yabbes> if not DONT
[08:45] <neurot> Lebowski do you have a usb flash drive 4gb or more
[08:45] <yabbes> ^
[08:45] <yabbes> make a usb boot stick
[08:45] <yabbes> i hate cd rom
[08:45] <Lebowski> I do not. that is why I have been using the RW DVD
[08:45] <anonymous_> huh?
[08:45] <Lebowski> It sucks and it takes forever
[08:45] <yabbes> man you've got nothing lebowski
[08:45] <yabbes> :P
[08:45] <anonymous_> so what suck and tkes forever?
[08:45] <Lebowski> haha sorry bud
[08:46] <anonymous_> so.. you guys are using ubuntu??
[08:46] <chotaz`w> Lebowski, i can ship you in an 8gb pen drive if you need, I literally got dozens of em laying around in boxes
[08:46] <Lebowski> trying to
[08:46] <anonymous_> Xchat..
[08:46] <Lebowski> choatz'w if you would like to you may
[08:46] <anonymous_> HELLO ANYONE CAN SEE MY TEXT??
[08:46] <Lebowski> yes anon
[08:46] <chotaz`w> anonymous_, YES WE CAN
[08:47] <neurot> Lebowski I know this is unorthodox but maybe try Linux Mint
[08:47] <chotaz`w> !caps > anonymous_
[08:47] <anonymous_> oh kk then.. i thought i was loney for a moment..
[08:47] <Lebowski> neurot, already tried and it didn't work
[08:47] <yabbes> im upgrading to 15.04 :-)
[08:47] <yabbes> why didnt it work Lebowski
[08:47] <Lebowski> just loaded to some weird looking menu and I couldnt to anything
[08:47] <anonymous_> people are now using this right??
[08:47] <yabbes> ive never had problems like this
[08:48] <yabbes> just installing it :s
[08:48] <anonymous_> you guys are using anonymous os?
[08:48] <neurot> Lebowski You may have a hardware issue
[08:48] <ricard> anyone know if you really notice the difference between 4GB 1333 or 1600 computer
[08:48] <yabbes> what are you trying to install it on lebowski
[08:48] <Lebowski> I don't think it is. I think it might have to do with the RW CD
[08:48] <Lebowski> yabbes ubuntu 14.04.2
[08:48] <neurot> Lebowski or that
[08:48] <neurot> lol
[08:48] <anonymous_> okay so.. what are you guys doing now
[08:48] <anonymous_> ?
[08:48] <ktechmidas> at work...
[08:49] <yabbes> that too, i think its very prone to errors CD's especially if rewriting on them
[08:49] <anonymous_> wait what at work?
[08:49] <Lebowski> you live in eruope ktechmidas?
[08:49] <anonymous_> WTF AT WORK
[08:49] <ktechmidas> Yup England
[08:49] <anonymous_> who hacks here just saying?
[08:49] <Lebowski> It's 3:49 am m88
[08:49] <ktechmidas> it's almost 10am here
[08:49] <yabbes> almost 11 here ;)
[08:49] <anonymous_> WHO HACKS HERE (god do i need to do  caps)
[08:49] <Lebowski> neurot, yabbes, do you think it's the RW CD?
[08:50] <anonymous_> OH MY GOD i'm left outD:
[08:50] <yabbes> anonymous_, calm down ^^
[08:50] <Lebowski> I swear to god if it is a hardware issue I am going to jump off a cliff
[08:50] <anonymous_> AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
[08:50] <anonymous_> I"M BEING LEFT OUT AHHHH
[08:50] <ktechmidas> !caps > anonymous_
[08:50] <Lebowski> my question is, why wouldn't it let me boot a pirated version of windows?
[08:50] <anonymous_> ANYONEWHO IS USING UBUNTU?
[08:50] <yabbes> if you got the errors installing linux mint with this same RW CD then yes
[08:51] <neurot> Lebowski I wouldn't rule it out
[08:51] <Lebowski> My PC was fine today, I just didn't want to use windows anymore
[08:51] <ktechmidas> Lebowski: You can get a legit version of Windows?
[08:51] <ktechmidas> just to try
[08:51] <neurot> Lebowski you only have one cdrw
[08:51] <ktechmidas> and does your computer support booting from USB?
[08:51] <ktechmidas> I find USB to be a lot more reliable
[08:51] <Lebowski> Yes I can get a legit version ktechmidas, just not at the moment. I have to wait till later today when I get off work
[08:52] <ricard> have raised the question as much difference in the pc 4GB 1333 or 1600?
[08:52] <Lebowski> I beleive my computer oes
[08:52] <Lebowski> and neurot yes
[08:52] <neurot> that sucks man
[08:52] <ktechmidas> Lebowski: try a USB boot... you can use unetbootin to install Ubuntu to a USB drive
[08:52] <jpds> ricard: What's the difference between 1333 and 1600 RAM?
[08:52] <ktechmidas> and boot from that
[08:52] <nirud> Lebowski: Have you used this CD-RW several times before? or is this a blank one that you then used to burn Ubuntu to?
[08:52] <neurot> ktechmidas Lebowski has no usb drive
[08:52] <ktechmidas> I think it needs to be 1GB or bigger (the USB stick)
[08:53] <Lebowski> neurot I do have a usb drive
[08:53] <nirud> Also, as everyone else has suggested...You should try to find a USB 2.0 stick that has a minimum of 4GB, because that is a much more reliable medium for installing an OS.
[08:53] <neurot> Lebowski a flash drive
[08:54] <Lebowski> what neurot?
[08:54] <ricard> not notice much the pc
[08:55] <neurot> Do you have a USB flash drive that you can install the operating system on?
[08:55] <Lebowski> Not with me
[08:55] <Lebowski> no
[08:55] <Lebowski> which is why im using the cd
[08:55] <ricard> not notice much the pc jpds
[08:56] <ktechmidas> I haven't used a disk drive in years... I ripped it out :P
[08:57] <ricard> jpds:not notice much the pc
[08:59] <Lebowski> So, I'm going to catch some Z's. before I go do you guys have any more ideas for me?
[09:00] <nirud> Lebowski: If you can still boot into a live environment, then I suggest you check the MD5 checksum (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM) of the CD to make sure it is correct and not corrupted. A list of correct md5 checksums for the Ubuntu releases can be found in their appropriate directories in here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/. From all the conversation that has taken place, I would think the md5 checksum will return
[09:00] <nirud> as invalid, if that is the case then redownload the Ubuntu ISO and attempt to burn it using the programs that come installed in the live environment.
[09:01] <Johnny_Linux> at a slower speed
[09:01] <Lebowski> alright. I'll do it later today. I'll be back later today to give you guys an update
[09:01] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, torrenting the .iso is almost always more reliable than direct download
[09:02] <Lebowski> cfhowlett, I'll torrent it while I go to sleep and do it again. Do you have a torrent link? I couldn't find one
[09:02] <cfhowlett> Lebowski, wait 12
[09:02] <Lebowski> ??
[09:02] <nirud> http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/
[09:02] <cfhowlett> !trusty
[09:02] <nirud> http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[09:03] <nirud> Oh, I did not realize this handy bot had all this information at the ready.
[09:03] <nirud> Seems there is a command for everything.
[09:03] <Lebowski> lol
[09:03] <Lebowski> is this the torrent?
[09:04] <nirud> http://releases.ubuntu.com/trusty/ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent < This is the torrent file for Ubuntu 14.04.2 (64 bit)
[09:05] <Haris> Hello all
[09:05] <Haris> is there a way to install php 5.4.x on trusty ?
[09:05] <Haris> from official repos' or the like
[09:05] <Haris> is there a way to install php 5.4.x on trusty from official repos' or the like ?
[09:06] <Lebowski> okay, thank you nirud. I am getting off. Thank you cfhowlett, neurot for your help
[09:06] <Lebowski> i will be back later
[09:06] <Lebowski> and yabbes
[09:06] <Lebowski> thank you guys
[09:07] <dupingping> please look the url, https://pledgie.com/campaigns/28502
[09:12] <histo> dupingping: why are you spamming in here?  Also what you are trying to do already exists
[09:12] <ricard> not notice much memory pc ram 4 gb to 1333 or 1600?
[09:12] <dupingping> histo, it's not spamming. just donation.
[09:13] <ktechmidas> dupingping: it's spamming and off-topic
[09:13] <histo> dupingping: You're spamming a link for people to donate to something that's already been done in a ubuntu support channel
[09:13] <histo> !ot | dupingping
[09:13] <dupingping> i see.
[09:13] <histo> ricard: what?
[09:14] <dupingping> histo, ktechmidas,  thank you for your help
[09:14] <histo> ricard: what is your native language?
[09:15] <ricard> much changes the performance of the computer co 4 gb ram 1333 or 1600
[09:15] <ktechmidas> ricard: it depends on your build, stick 1600 both in there and take metrics
[09:16] <somsip> ricard: http://superuser.com/questions/204694/ram-speed-how-does-it-impact-performance
[09:16] <somsip> ricard: but hardware questions are offtopic here
[09:16] <histo> ricard: /join ##hardware
[09:17] <ricard> ok
[09:23] <robur888d> hi, who comes from France?
[09:27] <Haris> guys, anyone here ?
[09:27] <Haris> I need to have php 5.4.x on trusty ? is it possible ?
[09:28] <lewis1711> flashplugin is installed. watch youtube videos, but no sound. I can play mp3s fine. I have ALSA. not sure where to go from here, ideas?
[09:28] <neurot> Haris apt-get install php5
[09:28] <neurot> sudo apt-get install php5
[09:29] <Haris> that installs php5 5.5.x
[09:29] <Haris> I need 5.4.x
[09:30] <neurot> yes
[09:31] <neurot> i think its phph 5.59
[09:31] <neurot> 5.5.9
[09:31] <neurot> sorry
[09:31] <Seveas> Haris: fix your application to not require an obsolete, unsupprted and probably insecure version of php
[09:31] <Seveas> lewis1711: remove flashplugin, try youtub'es html5 viewer
[09:32] <ktechmidas> Haris: you'll have to either go find a repo with it in, try to find the .deb's you need from somewhere, or build it yourself
[09:33] <nirud> lewis1711: YouTube by default uses HTML5 as its video player, and only resorts to flash when something crashes. Chrome/Chromium has its own Flash player which is maintained by Google.
[09:33] <amitprakash> Hi, i've two questions wrt uwsgi. I am running uwsgi as a ubuntu service.. however despite specifying     logto = /data/app-logger.log and     daemonize = /data/app.log in app.ini, daemonize gets set to /var/log/uwsgi/app/app.log
[09:33] <amitprakash> How do I resolve this?
[09:34] <lewis1711> thanks. still no sound in youtube after remove the flashplugin. I did have to change my default device in .asoundrc. perhaps firefox isn't picking it up, and is sending sound to the wrong card?
[09:36] <lewis1711> https://gist.github.com/anonymous/df8b0a27d79ee81b6430 that's my .asoundrc, seems fine
[09:39] <str0ke> hello
[09:39] <str0ke> im trying to install dual boot @ my windows 7
[09:39] <str0ke> can someone help me?
[09:39] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | str0ke
[09:40] <janeAusten666333> #laptop
[09:40] <lotuspsychje> str0ke: you can also make you life easy, and single boot install ubuntu
[09:41] <ktechmidas> lotuspsychje: some people have a need for Windows
[09:41] <lotuspsychje> ktechmidas: there are many tools you can simulate, wine,playonlinux,..
[09:42] <lewis1711> I do spend a lot  less time messing around with sound cards and drivers in windows. then again I don't use it as much
[09:42] <ktechmidas> lotuspsychje: I'd like to see Wine/POL play GTA5
[09:43] <lotuspsychje> ktechmidas: yeah hardcore gamers better stick to winblows indeed
[09:44] <lotuspsychje> ktechmidas: but steam can already play nice grafix games on ubuntu
[09:45] <ktechmidas> lotuspsychje: I would like to see Linux become a gaming platform as much as anyone, I live, breathe and work with Linux - but when I get home I just want to play a game, not constrict myself to things that may or may not work, graphical glitches with WINE, or things just crashing out (wih the exception of Steam games, they seem to work okay)
[09:45] <Trioxin> does Wubi, the Ubuntu installer for windows still work?
[09:46] <Trioxin> I don't see it on the site
[09:46] <lotuspsychje> !wubi | Trioxin
[09:46] <k1l_> Trioxin: dont use it.
[09:46] <k1l_> Trioxin: make a real install into real partitions. or use a usb pendrive for testing. but dont use wubi
[09:46] <Trioxin> any other way to install if you don't have the option of using a DVD or USB drive?
[09:47] <Trioxin> from windows
[09:47] <k1l_> pxe boot
[09:47] <ktechmidas> if you have another computer to PXE boot from
[09:47] <k1l_> Trioxin: easiest way is to get a dvd or usb pendrive. all other ways like pxe need way more effort.
[09:48] <Trioxin> damn
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: or order an ubuntu dvd from the ubuntu website
[09:48] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: or you dont have a dvd drive?
[09:49] <Trioxin> it's for a friend who doesn't have much and doesn't live anywhere near me. he has a mac in his house
[09:49] <Trioxin> i was thinking maybe I could make partition for ubuntu and then install it via virtualbox or vmware?
[09:49] <Trioxin> in windows
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: but that will remain virtual then
[09:50] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: like k1l_ suggests better find a cheap usb somewhere, and make your life easy
[09:50] <Trioxin> no I mean since the VM can see the other partition, use an install CD iso, boot into that in VMware, then use that to install to the new partition?
[09:51] <llutz> Trioxin: read virtualbox manual, about "raw hard disk access"
[09:52] <Haris> I have that same issue again. apache 2.4.x is not parsing php files. its offering them for download
[09:52] <Haris> apache 2.4.7
[09:52] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: if you find yourself a 1gig usb stick its gonna be pretty cheap, or search the internet for free usb
[09:52] <Haris> php5 mod is enabled. but its not parsing it
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> Haris: maybe the ##httpd guys know this?
[09:53] <Trioxin> yeah I guess I could send him one of my old ones
[09:53] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: sure, 1gig will be enough to run ubuntu iso
[09:53] <nirud> My local dollar store has 1GB USB2.0 sticks for $1.50.
[09:53] <Haris> no, its not a httpd issue. its a how-ubuntu-cnofigures-apache-in-its-dist is the issue
[09:53] <Haris> as before
[09:54] <Trioxin> looks like vmware can do it but involves virtualizing everything
[09:54] <histo> nirud: hrm.. interresting.. What franchise
[09:55] <nirud> histo: Dollarama...It's a rather big chain in Canada.
[09:55] <IseeFreeMarkets> hi guys
[09:55] <lotuspsychje> histo: set discuss in your favs :p
[09:56] <Trioxin> the point is to give him a privacy minded alternative to windows when he wants it. I wonder if there's such software that doesn't require network booting but allows you to reboot into a downloaded ISO
[09:56] <Haris> This is trusty, 14.04.x. apache 2.4.7 is not parsing php files, even though php5 mod is enabled. apachectl -M shows it
[09:57] <Trioxin> EasyBCD
[09:57] <lotuspsychje> Trioxin: dont forget if you send him the usb, put the right architecture on it: 32 or 64bit
[09:57] <Trioxin> well I teamview him when he needs help. no big deal there
[09:57] <Haris> how do I troubleshoot this ?
[09:58] <neurot> Haris are you trying to run a web server
[09:58] <Haris> yes, ofcourse
[09:59] <Haris> as my production web server, I should add
[09:59] <neurot> sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[09:59] <Ben64> h
[09:59] <Ben64> Haris: make sure you have the package "libapache2-mod-php5" installed
[10:00] <neurot> a all in one install of php5 mysql ....
[10:00] <Haris> ii  libapache2-mod-php5                 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.9               amd64
[10:00] <ablest1980> yes
[10:00] <Trioxin> For future reference, this seems to be able to accomplish installing without any extra installation media: http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/
[10:00] <Haris> yes, its installed. as I mentioned, apachectl -M shows php5 is included/enabled
[10:00] <Ben64> Haris: just going through verification
[10:01] <llutz> Haris: have you restarted apache after enabling the mod-php5?
[10:01] <Ben64> Haris: make sure its in mods-enabled too
[10:01] <neurot> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:01] <Haris> yes, already done
[10:03] <Haris> why don't things work when they are configured "as is" "out of the box"
[10:03] <Ben64> they do
[10:04] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: good noon
[10:05] <EriC^^> :D

[10:10] <lotuspsychje> Nek: maybe this can help? http://askubuntu.com/questions/461691/vlc-player-issue-on-ubuntu-14-04
[10:11] <Nek> ablest1980, im not that stupid :') .
[10:11] <Haris> ok. the problem seems to be with directoryindex
[10:11] <Haris> its parsing php files
[10:11] <Haris> ok
[10:11] <ablest1980> lol
[10:11] <ablest1980> XD
[10:12] <Nek> lotuspsychje, nop :/ [1]    1081 segmentation fault (core dumped)  vlc
[10:12] <Ben64> Nek: try mplayer2
[10:13] <lotuspsychje> Nek: did you try reinstall?
[10:15] <Haris> when I load files with /index.php it works, it parses the problem
[10:15] <Haris> when I browse the FQDN, is doesn't work
[10:15] <Haris> DirectoryIndex might be the issue
[10:16] <Ben64> sounds like it

[10:18] <Peetz0r> Hey! I have ubuntu 14.04 with full disk encryption and everyhting on one disk. Now I want to add another disk and move /home to that new disk. How would I do that?
[10:18] <k1l_> ablest1980: vlc is in the repos
[10:18] <lotuspsychje> !encrypt | Peetz0r
[10:18] <ablest1980> ok
[10:18] <ablest1980> % sudo apt-get update
[10:18] <ablest1980> % sudo apt-get install vlc browser-plugin-vlc
[10:19] <Peetz0r> lotuspsychje: I don't want to encrypt just one directory
[10:19] <Nek> k1l_, looks broken on ubuntu 14.04, so i would like to upgrade. No idea why it doesnt works >_< .
[10:19] <Peetz0r> my first disk is already encrypted. my question is, how do I add another encrypted disk to that same setup, *and* how do I move /home to that new disk
[10:19] <lotuspsychje> Nek: did something happen while you installed vlc?
[10:19] <k1l_> Nek: what doesnt work? the version in the repo is known to work.
[10:20] <lotuspsychje> k1l_: his vlc gets a segfault on trusty
[10:21] <Haris> directoryindex part is still not working
[10:21] <Ben64> you need to reload apache when you change conf
[10:22] <lotuspsychje> Nek: try to purge vlc and reinstall
[10:23] <Nek> lotuspsychje, already tried :-( .
[10:24] <Nek> k1l_, segfault while starting a flv video.
[10:24] <k1l_> Nek: so is the flv film known to work?
[10:24] <lotuspsychje> Nek: maybe try what Ben64 suggested and test mplayer2 to see if movie plays
[10:27] <Peetz0r> Hey! I have ubuntu 14.04 with full disk encryption and everyhting on one disk. Now I want to add another disk and move /home to that new disk. How would I do that?

[10:54] <philluminati> Hi guys. Since my 15.04 upgrade I'm having trouble with nfs being slow. Presumably because the ubuntu server it runs on is no longer running "lockd" (i believe). However I'm sure where lockd is and how I'm supposed to restart t
[10:54] <philluminati> it*. Any ideas?
[10:54] <k1l_> Guest18291: which desktop. unity? gnome shell? mate? cinnamon?......
[10:56] <shambat> I'm getting some email from some cron-jobs I've set up, where can I check what e-mail address(es) cron tries to send these email to?
[10:56] <philluminati> don't worry, fixed it :-D

[11:00] <k1l_> Guest18291: this is taking to long for me, i need to leave in short time. the error you get can be caused by the desktop you run. so specific informations are important. maybe others can help you

[11:04] <Daisyab__> hi.  I set up a VM using a vagrantfile.  On it was an Ubuntu 14.04 guest.  However, it was in text console format and I wanted something more graphical so I ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.  Right now, ubuntu gets stuck in login loop. I've tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop but still no luck.  Any help please?
[11:05] <bekks> Daisyab__: Can you still log in into a console?
[11:06] <Daisyab__> yes
[11:07] <bekks> Daisyab__: Do you have enough free space left?
[11:08] <Daisyab__> bekks:  I have about 16MB left
[11:09] <bekks> Daisyab__: Thats the reason for your login loop. You need to free up space.
[11:13] <Daisyab__> bekks:  ok.  How much is needed
[11:13] <Daisyab__> I freed some up and had 137 MB available
[11:14] <Daisyab__> but it still doesn't log in
[11:14] <bekks> Daisyab__: Thats still far too less. :)
[11:15] <Daisyab__> bekks:  oh, ok.  Is there a way to add memory, while the VM is running? I've got a total of 495MB
[11:16] <bekks> Daisyab__: Memory is not the issue. Free space is the issue. :)
[11:17] <agenthex> hello, folks.  is there a way to install the opencl driver for amd cpus without installing fglrx?
[11:18] <Daisyab__> bekks:  ok.  in that case i have 2.7GB left
[11:21] <SDr> hey guys, erm, how old is netstat?
[11:21] <ikonia> what do you mean how old ?
[11:21] <ikonia> the version or how long has netstat been around ?
[11:22] <SDr> ikonia, the later -how long of muscle memory is SS, like, actually, trying to dethrone?
[11:22] <SDr> ^^
[11:23] <ikonia> muscle memory ? dethone ? what are you talking about
[11:23] <ikonia> SDr: whats the actual question - in clear english please
[11:23] <SDr> ikonia, how long have netstat been around?
[11:23] <ikonia> SDr: do you mean how long has the gnu tool existed ?
[11:23] <SDr> ikonia, yes
[11:23] <ikonia> SDr: look on the gnu website for the version history and dates
[11:23] <ikonia> not really anything to do with ubuntu
[11:27] <Haris> hello all
[11:28] <Haris> what's a good mysql admin type gui tool for use with ubuntu
[11:28] <Seveas> good mysql admin's don't use gui tools :)
[11:28] <shambat> Haris: I've used MySQL Workbench
[11:28] <shambat> works nicely
[11:29] <bekks> Haris: phpmyadmin
[11:29] <ikonia> Haris: if you need a tool - stick wht official tools
[11:29] <ikonia> phpmyadmin is a huge danger
[11:29] <Haris> official one .. is ?
[11:29] <Haris> not using pma
[11:29] <ikonia> ....on the mysql website
[11:29] <Seveas> phpmyadmin is ok-ish, as long as you don't expose it to anyone else.
[11:29] <Haris> its to be used on dev's PC
[11:29] <shambat> MySQL Workbench is made by Oracle and has a free community edition
[11:29] <Seveas> mysql workbench is popular
[11:30] <ikonia> mysql workbench is the tool that replaced mysql admin
[11:30] <ikonia> it's used by professionals,
[11:30] <Seveas> but real dba's just use the mysql cli and their configuration tooling (puppet, chef etc...)
[11:31] <Haris> mysql workbench is too much for my tiny/simpler needs
[11:31] <Haris> something like heidisql on windows
[11:31] <ikonia> mysql workbench can be used basic
[11:31] <Ben64> phpmyadmin is fine as long as its not accessible publicly
[11:32] <ikonia> it's a very simple tool, it will be fine for pretty much any needs
[11:33] <Haris> how to install mysql workbench on ubuntu
[11:33] <ikonia> open the package manager
[11:33] <ikonia> search for it
[11:33] <ikonia> click install
[11:33] <ikonia> https://help.ubuntu.com for a basic guide on using ubuntu
[11:36] <Haris> mysql-workbench-community-6.3.3-1ubu1410-amd64.deb
[11:36] <ikonia> no
[11:36] <ikonia> thats a deb file
[11:36] <ikonia> thats not what I said
[11:36] <Haris> hmm
[11:36] <ikonia> open the package manager - search for the package, click install
[11:36] <Haris> this is the file it shows on mysql's download site, when OS = Ubuntu is selected
[11:36] <Haris> hmm
[11:36] <Haris> ok
[11:37] <ikonia> https://help.ubuntu.com for a basic guide on how to use ubuntu if you need it
[11:37] <shambat> Haris: if you're using the Ubuntu Desktop, use whats called the Ubuntu Software Center, its like an app-store type program where you can search and install programs
[11:38] <Haris> yes, I know. actually its not my box. another dev has to do it. and I can't do it on his box, untill the dev is free enough
[11:38] <Haris> thank you !
[11:38] <Haris> though
[11:39] <agenthex> anyone here use OpenCL on AMD hardware?
[11:44] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:56] <fishcooker> how to change group name from fish to fishcooker?
[12:00] <Gh0st-> how can I setup a vhost mask on my VPS
[12:01] <ikonia> vhost mask ?
[12:01] <ikonia> what do you mean ? an apache virtual host ?
[12:01] <Gh0st-> yeah
[12:01] <Gh0st-> irc@unaffiliated/ikonia
[12:02] <kong0> ikonia is owned by ikonia
[12:02] <Gh0st-> whatever comes after @
[12:02] <Gh0st-> not this one exactly
[12:02] <Gh0st-> but something I want
[12:03] <ikonia> read freenode.net and look at "cloak"
[12:03] <ikonia> ask in #freenode if you ned more info
[12:03] <ikonia> they don't do custom cloaks
[12:03] <ikonia> so you won't get a custom one

[12:22] <zeroC> Whiskey: exactly, i don't get what you mean : )
[12:23] <Venker> zeroC, yes, only if I move the mouse
[12:23] <Whiskey> zoerC if you are in a folder and do dir you see everything thats in it
[12:23] <Whiskey> how to just show the shortcuts thats in it?
[12:23] <zeroC> Whiskey: you mean in a terminal?
[12:23] <Whiskey> yeh
[12:23] <Whiskey> o damn i forgot to write it :/
[12:23] <zeroC> and with shortcuts,you mean all files and linked files in this directory?
[12:23] <Whiskey> yeh
[12:23] <zeroC> try instead of dir ls -la
[12:24] <Whiskey> cannot access ls: No such file or directory
[12:24] <zeroC> what OS do you use?
[12:25] <Whiskey> ubuntu?

[12:27] <cfhowlett> zeroC, it did ... no idea why it would fail now

[12:28] <zeroC> Whiskey: can you try to do /bin/ls -la
[12:28] <Whiskey> yeh it show more then i have to see
[12:28] <zeroC> your path is wrong
[12:28] <zeroC> ;)
[12:29] <zeroC> you need to add /bin as well... ;)
[12:29] <zeroC> Whiskey: and in that case, try man ls
[12:29] <zeroC> :)
[12:29] <Whiskey> well it shows everything that is in the folder, + shortcuts and where them go to
[12:29] <Whiskey> was that what it was going to do zeroC?`
[12:30] <zeroC> Whiskey: yep
[12:30] <Whiskey> then you got me werong
[12:30] <Venker> zeroC, have you got any idea of what could be happening?
[12:30] <Whiskey> wrong, i don´t care what the shortcuts willl go to as i know that
[12:30] <Whiskey> All i need is to show every shortcut that is in that folder
[12:30] <Whiskey> like
[12:30] <Whiskey> prog1,pog2,prog3,prog4,prog5 and so on
[12:30] <llutz> Whiskey: find path/ -type l
[12:30] <Whiskey> whitout any other folders or files
[12:31] <agenthex> is there a way to take a snapshot of my xorg.conf from a fresh *buntu installation?
[12:31] <Whiskey> mutch batter :D
[12:32] <agenthex> the xorg.conf file does not exist.  i want to generate an xorg.conf file to backup that forces my current settings.  how do i do this in Vivid?
[12:33] <llutz> agenthex: sudo X :2 -configure         file will be in your $HOME
[12:34] <zeroC> Venker: nope, i assume its how it should work... :)0
[12:36] <Venker> zeroC, I found it. I think it was an unclutter option I set some week ago (because of a problem I got with chromium making my cursor dissappear)
[12:39] <Venker> now I need to restart again
[12:42] <Venker> thanks for all
[12:43] <Whiskey> is there anyway in find to only show the filename and not full path in list?

[12:47] <Whiskey> thanks alot :D
[12:51] <ShotChain> Does anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu and install Windows 7? For some reason my USB drive isn't showing up when I go to the boot options.
[12:51] <ikonia> ShotChain: thats not really anything to do with ubuntu
[12:51] <cfhowlett> ShotChain, that would be a ##windows question.  this is ubuntu
[12:51] <ShotChain> alright
[12:51] <ShotChain> Sorry
[12:52] <cofffeebean>   uninstall ubuntu ??..,  i'd just format the ubuntu off & put 7 on the formatted or wiped  drive & after u did that & updated 7..,  u cud decide whether or not to put linux back on there next to 7 ..

[13:11] <parsec2284> hi how do i gain access to my folder in usr share i want to delte unwanted gimp brushes like the pepper brush
[13:12] <parsec2284> i went in folder and typed sudo but still can't delete brushes
[13:12] <llutz> parsec2284: sudo rm /path/to/file/to/remove
[13:13] <k1l_> sudo is just "next command will have root permissions". its not a command itself
[13:14] <llutz> if not followed by -i or -s
[13:15] <parsec2284> rm: cannot remove ‘/path/to/file/to/remove’: No such file or directory
[13:16] <k1l_> parsec2284: /path/to/file was an example
[13:16] <parsec2284> oh
[13:16] <parsec2284> hmm
[13:16] <llutz> parsec2284: replace it with real path/filename
[13:16] <k1l_> you need to make that the real path and file ending
[13:18] <vit_> ппппппппп
[13:21] <parsec2284> i typed sudo rm /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes
[13:22] <parsec2284> rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes’: Is a directory
[13:22] <llutz> parsec2284: rm -r   to remove a directory
[13:22] <cfhowlett> parsec2284, but that will kill ALL brushes
[13:22] <k1l_> parsec2284: the error messages you pasted so far explained what the issue is.
[13:23] <k1l_> parsec2284: are you sure you want to remove all brushes?
[13:23] <parsec2284> lol no
[13:23] <parsec2284> i just want to remove ones i don't like
[13:23] <wastrel> linux
[13:23] <k1l_> so be careful with that rm then
[13:23] <parsec2284> i just want acces to the folder
[13:24] <k1l_> parsec2284: cd /path/to/folder
[13:24] <parsec2284> to chose which ones i want to delete
[13:25] <k1l_> parsec2284: that is a "how to use the shell" basics: cd to get to a place, ls to show what is there, rm to remove
[13:25] <k1l_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal parsec2284
[13:26] <cofffeebean>   bbl all..,  tc..
[13:31] <parsec2284> is there an easy way to unlock the folder
[13:31] <parsec2284> i typed cd /
[13:32] <cfhowlett> parsec2284, by design, NO because inexperienced users + unlocked folders = bad
[13:32] <k1l_> parsec2284: cd / just brings you to the / folder
[13:33] <guzzi_jones> i have a file i need to check for 75,000 patterns and if that pattern is found replace with another pattern.
[13:33] <k1l_> parsec2284: please read the link i gave you. it explains basic shell commands
[13:33] <guzzi_jones> sed with a file input takes forever
[13:33] <supertims> hai
[13:33] <guzzi_jones> grep to search for the pattern then sed also takes forever.
[13:33] <parsec2284> its in user/share/gimp/2.0/brushes
[13:33] <parsec2284> how would that pan out in a terminal command
[13:33] <supertims> how are you guys
[13:33] <k1l_> parsec2284: so why dont you cd to that folder?
[13:34] <guzzi_jones> is there a quick way to check a file for 75,000 different patterns?
[13:34] <cfhowlett> supertims, ask your ubuntu question
[13:34] <parsec2284> you mean go to the folder
[13:34] <parsec2284> and open terminal and type cd /
[13:34] <k1l_> parsec2284: cd /i/want/to/go/to/that/long/path/and/to/that/folders/at/the/end

[13:37] <llutz> guzzi_jones:maybe awk is a way http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/29624/grep-huge-number-of-patterns-from-huge-file
[13:37] <k1l_> rejns: that site is shockwave, not flash
[13:37] <k1l_> rejns: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ that is flash
[13:37] <rejns> ok this is working
[13:38] <k1l_> rejns: so, problem solved, flash works
[13:38] <rejns> what about shockwave then ?
[13:38] <rejns> can you at least tell me
[13:39] <rejns> when site says this plugin is not supported
[13:39] <rejns> how to determine which plugin is that
[13:39] <k1l_> rejns: depens on the site. a lot of warez sites fake that error to make you install a virus.
[13:39] <rejns> http://www.avtokadivec.si/?page_id=80
[13:39] <rejns> take a look at this
[13:39] <rejns> works in firefox
[13:40] <rejns> but cant get it to work in chrome
[13:40] <rejns> does it work for you?
[13:40] <parsec2284> i went to folder, typed cd/ in the folder terminal, then /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes
[13:40] <parsec2284> it did not work though
[13:41] <k1l_> parsec2284: please show the exact command here you used
[13:41] <parsec2284> no body ever said linux is easy
[13:41] <parsec2284> ok
[13:41] <k1l_> parsec2284: that got nothing to do with linux. i bet you cant use shell commands on windows too.
[13:41] <parsec2284> go to folder that has brushes in it
[13:42] <parsec2284> in that folder, type cd /
[13:42] <k1l_> parsec2284: that is not a command
[13:42] <k1l_> parsec2284: no
[13:42] <parsec2284> lol ok
[13:42] <parsec2284> hmm
[13:42] <parsec2284> alright
[13:43] <k1l_> cd is the command. it means "change  directory". it needs you to give the path where it should change to. so "cd /home/user/Downloads" will make it go into the Downloads folder in your home.
[13:43] <k1l_> parsec2284: please read the link i gave you. you really need to read into that to get the basics.
[13:43] <cfhowlett> but of course you would KNOW all that had you actually read the "how to use terminal" link you were sent
[13:43] <parsec2284> i did but actually
[13:44] <parsec2284> but ill try again
[13:44] <MonkeyDust> parsec2284  tip: first learn the basics, then start modifying things
[13:44] <k1l_> parsec2284: really read it. not just fly over the text and copy the commands.
[13:44] <parsec2284> ok.
[13:44] <k1l_> rejns: it works in firefox and does not for chrome/chromium
[13:44] <rejns> same here
[13:44] <parsec2284> ill spend about a half hour seeing if i can figure it out
[13:45] <rejns> is it possible to fix that?
[13:45] <parsec2284> and if i cant il be back in half hour
[13:45] <rejns> how can i determine which plugin is that
[13:45] <rejns> it's so frustrating
[13:45] <k1l_> rejns: see if that helps: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=173790#c31
[13:46] <k1l_> rejns: its the shwockwave plugin. and that is known to be an issue in general. not only i this issue
[13:46] <brothersome> Hello, is there something wrong with the ACPI in the newest update?

[14:03] <parsec2284> now how to do delete the brushes i dont want
[14:03] <parsec2284> i only want to leave the 1 pixel brush
[14:04] <parsec2284> and delete the rest
[14:04] <k1l_> parsec2284: so ls lists all the brushes?
[14:04] <parsec2284> yep
[14:05] <k1l_> so remove them with "rm filename" now
[14:06] <Pici> /70/36

[14:19] <jayjo> Can I store a variable in the environment that will persist? I need to update a database and store the time that the update was done, so the next time I run the same sql I can check what records need to be updated
[14:19] <jayjo> is it just better to do this differently, like a table that only stores when I last updated
[14:20] <drmagoo> Anyone here on 14.04 with a nvidia gtx9XX-card and using xorg-edgers drivers? When I try to install the drivers from there, it doesnt install the Xorg-driver. Any ideas?
[14:20] <bashed> What is the command to run the "Additional Drivers" without using the gui?
[14:20] <jayjo> and pull the value from that table
[14:20] <dearpx> hmmm
[14:20] <tinyhippo> HDMI output keeps cutting out from my Dell M3800, what would be the most likely cause? (I've ruled out monitor/cable issues)
[14:23] <wastrel> jayjo: you have to put it in a file to have things persist
[14:23] <wastrel> you can read the value into the environment if you want but if it's in the file you could just read it from the file
[14:25] <parsec2284> to remove file, i typed
[14:26] <parsec2284> cd/ usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/  enter, ls to show files, now i want to remove the legacy brushes
[14:27] <parsec2284> Folder called Legacy
[14:27] <parsec2284> file*
[14:27] <parsec2284> and folder
[14:28] <parsec2284> so i typed cd/usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes enter type ls, and rm Legacy
[14:28] <parsec2284> rm Legacy
[14:29] <parsec2284> cd /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes/rm Legacy

[14:35] <DammitJim> do I have to enable acl for LVM partitions?
[14:35] <DammitJim> I am on 14.04 and tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep acl returns Default mount options: user_xattr acl
[14:37] <DolphinDream> howdy bunterz
[14:38] <DolphinDream> do git packages get installed by default with a fresh installation of ubuntu 14?
[14:38] <parsec2284> cd /user/share/gimp.2.0/brushes/rmlegacy
[14:38] <parsec2284>  No such file or directory
[14:39] <Pici> DolphinDream: I don't think so.
[14:39] <parsec2284> i just dont understand how to incorporate the rm 'remove' file thing
[14:39] <parsec2284> ugh
[14:40] <parsec2284> ive read the page quite a few times
[14:40] <wastrel> DolphinDream: i don't think git is installed by default
[14:41] <Pici> parsec2284: each command needs to be separate. It looks like you're trying to type everything on one line.
[14:41] <DolphinDream> ok. thx Pici  wastrel
[14:42] <DammitJim> sorry, machine locked up
[14:43] <DammitJim> do LVMs carry the acl option from the physical partition?
[14:43] <DammitJim> or do I need to set that up separately?
[14:45] <parsec2284> i typed, cd  /usr/share/gimp/2.0/brushes
[14:45] <parsec2284> that goes through
[14:45] <parsec2284> after that goes through i type
[14:45] <parsec2284> rm Legacy
[14:45] <parsec2284> which should delete the legacy folder
[14:46] <parsec2284> but i get no such file or directory
[14:46] <parsec2284> then i tried rm /Legacy same

[14:58] <DammitJim> what else should I look into?
[15:11] <zamba> why, why, why does ubuntu suggest a separate /boot partition with just 100M?
[15:11] <tinyhippo> why do you need more than 100M
[15:12] <zamba> tinyhippo: it's filling up.. old kernels stuck there.. and full disk
[15:13] <wastrel> apt-get autoclean?
[15:13] <tinyhippo> ^
[15:13] <wastrel> ah no it's autoremove?  iono something
[15:16] <awrev> hello, I have multiple annoyances. one is that the mouse occasionally slows down and doesnt easily go to where I move it on the touchpad. the other is that the keyboard layout changes to another language by itself. the latter is happening quite often lately
[15:18] <wastrel> awrev: you should check your ibus settings and see if you're accidentally changing the input method
[15:19] <wastrel> awrev: system settings > text entry
[15:19] <wastrel> see what the keyboard shortcuts are for changing the language
[15:25] <varunwachaspati> Urgent Help needed: not able to detect wifi networks on my Ubuntu 15.04, Thanks in advance

[15:30] <Guiri> I'm trying to find the cause of a bug where, when sshed into a 14.04.2 box, tab completion will cause the entire ssh session to hang.  ANy ideas?
[15:31] <varunwachaspati> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11567865/
[15:31] <wastrel> Guiri: i would go into /etc/bash_completion.d and start trying to identify whcih file in there is causing the problem
[15:31] <wastrel> Guiri: i'd remove all of them and then start replacing them one at a time until the problem returned
[15:32] <Guiri> it seems to be related to directory completion.  `cd /etc/ngin` [tab][tab]
[15:33] <varunwachaspati> ioria: any clue what's going wrong?
[15:35] <ioria> varunwachaspati, if you use wifi, disable eth0 for now.   your wifi ip is 10.10.0.1 and your gateway  1.0.207.49-ras ? (that i don't understand)
[15:36] <tinyhippo> ioria: I'm guessing the gateway is 49.207.0.1 (and I'm assuming a raspberry pi)
[15:36] <varunwachaspati> ioria, as I am not able to detect wifi, I am using ethernet now, disabling it will leave me disconnected
[15:37] <varunwachaspati> tinyhippo. my machine is Dell Inspiron Laptop
[15:37] <ioria> varunwachaspati, right. can you ping your router/gateway ?
[15:37] <varunwachaspati> ioria, nope
[15:38] <seed-begger> I am trying to download Lubuntu 15.04, but my download is stuck at 74%. Please, can someone help ? Seed Lubuntu 15.04.
[15:38] <henry8989> hello everyone I just installed kubuntu on one of my PC's and love it like I o on my other PC's that have it, but my wireless network adapter  based off of a realtek RTL8187B chipset keeps disconnecting after a while and I have to then reconnect it, when this computer ran windows 7 it never did that the wireless adapter always stayed connected any suggestions?
[15:39] <ioria> varunwachaspati, are static or dynamic ip ? put it static in Network onnection and enter the gateway ip
[15:40] <ioria> varunwachaspati, i really don't understand your gateway ip .... ^0^
[15:40] <tinyhippo> ioria: read varunwachaspati's IP backwards!
[15:40] <varunwachaspati> ioria, sorry for the lack of technical knowledge but I am unable to follow what you are asking me to do here
[15:42] <ioria> tinyhippo, can you explain, please  ?
[15:42] <ioria> varunwachaspati, open Network Connection , select your interface , Method -> manual and enter the ip, gateway, and dns
[15:43] <tinyhippo> ioria: the gateway is a hostname, reading it backwards you can infer that it is 49.207.0.1
[15:43] <tinyhippo> ioria: the eth0 address is 49.207.46.20 therefore a gateway of 49.207.0.1 makes sense
[15:43] <ioria> tinyhippo, oh... thank you
[15:44] <tinyhippo> ioria: the equivalent of 238.209.58.216.in-addr.arpa mapping to 216.58.209.238
[15:44] <tinyhippo> ioria: no worries
[15:47] <c_korn> hello, a user trying to install this package http://build.getdeb.net/ubuntu/pool/apps/j/jnetmap/jnetmap_0.5.4-1~getdeb1_all.deb gets the error: xdg-mime: file '/usr/share/mime/application/x-jnetmap.xml' does not exist. what is this error about? why is such a file expected to be in the package? the installation succeeds here.
[15:48] <pbx> c_korn, does the account installing the package have equivalent privileges on both systems?
[15:51] <c_korn> pbx: "sudo dpkg -i jnetmap_0.5.4-1~getdeb1_all.deb" is the command. so it has root privileges
[15:52] <pbx> then i don't know.
[15:53] <pbx> perhaps comparing the full output of the install on both machines will yield clues
[16:10] <parsec2284> hi this has nothing to do with ubuntu but does anybody have any ideas for alternative wacom tablets i know wacoms are popular but i just dont buy the hype i feel like there build quality is cheap and getting cheaper by the year and that they are living on there name
[16:10] <mahon0> part
[16:10] <mahon0> PART
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> mahon0  it's /part
[16:11] <parsec2284> something that will work out of the box with ubuntu
[16:11] <mahon0> oh  tnx ;)
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> parsec2284  what's not working on your device?
[16:12] <parsec2284> i dont like the size
[16:12] <parsec2284> i dont like the cheap platic feel
[16:12] <parsec2284> i feel wacom products are made poorly
[16:13] <parsec2284> i dont like how my hand drags across the plastic like it glu
[16:13] <parsec2284> glue
[16:13] <parsec2284> there must be something better
[16:13] <parsec2284> even if its not name brand
[16:14] <parsec2284> i should ask on the ubuntu forums
[16:14] <parsec2284> i will
[16:15] <yamoonsun> Anyone know of a good program to back up a DVD image via .iso ?
[16:15] <k1l> yamoonsun: you mean save  the dvd as a  .iso on the disk?
[16:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11568631/
[16:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> # cat /etc/issue
[16:16] <drmagoo> Anyone here on 14.04 with a nvidia gtx9XX-card and using xorg-edgers drivers? When I try to install the drivers from there, it doesnt install the Xorg-driver. Any ideas?
[16:16] <TyrfingMjolnir> Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS \n \l
[16:16] <yamoonsun> Yeah; I was using DVDDecyrpter for Windows previously. I tried dkopp, but it won't work with my kernel.
[16:16] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: ubuntu 10.04 is end of support anyway. you want to upgrade to 12.04 at least
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> TyrfingMjolnir  10.04 is dead, upgrade to a supported release, then ask again
[16:17] <TyrfingMjolnir> I'm in the process of upgrading to 14.04
[16:17] <TyrfingMjolnir> But it's stuck
[16:17] <k1l> yamoonsun: there is "dd", which is a terminal program which makes a 1:1 copy and that can be saved as .iso
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> TyrfingMjolnir  backup and fresh install is the fastest, easiest, cleanest way
[16:17] <yamoonsun> Will it remove the region locks also, or include them in the .iso?
[16:18] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: so you got libc-bin from 12.04 already? from a PPA?
[16:18] <k1l> yamoonsun: that is a 1:1 copy then
[16:18] <TyrfingMjolnir> Nope
[16:18] <TyrfingMjolnir> I just realized it's running the upgrade in screen
[16:18] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: stop.
[16:19] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: let the upgrade run. dont fiddle with the packagesystem while it upgrades
[16:19]  * yamoonsun presumes that means the region locks are still going to be there
[16:19] <k1l> yamoonsun: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately  that got some more suggestions
[16:19] <yamoonsun> Thanks =3
[16:22] <qui3t_n3rd> hello! I have an SD card that I think I screwed up the FATs on, is there a way to destructively make one partition again?
[16:22] <qui3t_n3rd> (Theres no data on this card that I care about, it's going to be imaged with NOOBS for a Raspberry Pi)
[16:25] <qui3t_n3rd> I get this message while trying to reformat the entire card: Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)
[16:25] <TyrfingMjolnir> k1l: Hmm
[16:25] <TyrfingMjolnir> Already too late
[16:25] <TyrfingMjolnir> That upgrade was started last July
[16:25] <TyrfingMjolnir> Something went wrong
[16:26] <chronicstardust> hey there
[16:26] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: oh
[16:26] <qui3t_n3rd> hello chronicstardust!
[16:26] <chronicstardust> how are you?
[16:26] <TyrfingMjolnir> Oh, welll
[16:26] <TyrfingMjolnir> There is Jessie, I'll just do a reinstall
[16:27] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: lsb_release is 10.04? what does sources.list say about the release?
[16:27] <qui3t_n3rd> chronicstardust: unless you have a support question I must direct you to #ubuntu-offtopic for OT chat :P
[16:27] <chronicstardust> cool cool lol
[16:28] <TyrfingMjolnir> precise
[16:28] <TyrfingMjolnir> # lsb_release
[16:28] <TyrfingMjolnir> No LSB modules are available.
[16:28] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: seems like the upgrade is canceld somehow
[16:28] <yamoonsun> Apparently I have to install libdvdcss to make a decrypted .iso file, so I downloaded it, and have no idea how to install from a tarbar
[16:28] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: the screen with the upgrade did stop?
[16:29] <k1l> !libdvdcss | yamoonsun
[16:29] <TyrfingMjolnir> It hung on the question where asked to run ssh in the background in case some services will drop during install
[16:29] <yamoonsun> Is it kll?
[16:29] <yamoonsun> http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.3.99/
[16:29] <qui3t_n3rd> can someone help me with reformatting an SD card?
[16:30] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: give that a go. hopefully that will make it to 12.04
[16:30] <k1l> yamoonsun: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[16:30] <yamoonsun> What filesystem do you want to utilize n3rd?
[16:30] <TyrfingMjolnir> Give what a go?
[16:30] <k1l> yamoonsun: that explains the procedure for ubuntu
[16:30] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: that upgrade in the screen
[16:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> only 2 options there
[16:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> x = destroy
[16:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> r = ressurect
[16:31] <TyrfingMjolnir> no ressurection
[16:31] <qui3t_n3rd> yamoonsun: Trying to set up as just FAT32, the image I'm pushing will repartition the card as it installs
[16:32] <k1l> TyrfingMjolnir: hmm.
[16:33] <qui3t_n3rd> My problem is when I tell the Disks application to format the card, it displays a full 4GiB partition for a second, then goes back to the two 2GiB partitions that are currently present
[16:34] <qui3t_n3rd> I also get an error message, Error synchronizing after initial wipe: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0)
[16:34] <TyrfingMjolnir> Is there a way to see the name of the motherboard from the command line?
[16:34] <parabool> hello. i've just booted my new Dell XPS13 linux edition for the first time. I think something went wrong; I got into the system all right, and I configured my wireless connection. After clicking continue, I had to choose my location (default was New York); the laptop then rebooted. I am now in OEM user, I have no root password etc. Can i run the whole "setup" again?
[16:34] <parabool> thanks

[16:40] <pavlos> parabool, seems your laptop came with ubuntu 14.04 pre-installed. there is no root pass, whenever you need admin privs, prefix your command with sudo, like sudo apt-get update
[16:40] <rOm3O> Hello friends
[16:40] <rOm3O> I need help
[16:40] <parabool> pavlos: oh. seems stupid of me not to try that -_- sorry
[16:40] <pavlos> bbb, there is a #test channel
[16:40] <rOm3O> I installed lubuntu last night
[16:41] <rOm3O> but i cant install applications
[16:41] <rOm3O> neither i can update it
[16:41] <parabool> pavlos: it doesn't work. it asks me the password for oem...
[16:42] <harishkrupo> rOm3O, what does it show when you type sudo apt-get update ?
[16:42] <pavlos> parabool, is that a user DELL created? I dont know how DELL setup the laptop.
[16:42] <rOm3O> I am trying to install updates
[16:42] <rOm3O> may be it works
[16:42] <parabool> pavlos: yes. XPS13 linux edition, ubuntu 14.04
[16:42] <k1l> rOm3O: run a "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" in a terminal and show the output in a pastebin please
[16:43] <rOm3O> I will
[16:43] <rOm3O> its updating
[16:43] <pavlos> parabool, is that a user DELL created? did DELL provide the pass for user OEM? how are you logged on now? (top right, click, should tell you user)
[16:44] <parabool> pavlos: user is OEM. it logs on automatically on startup. if i log out, i can't log in again until i reboot the system
[16:44] <parabool> pavlos: there's OEM and guest user available.
[16:44] <IAmMe643> My mic is not recognized.
[16:45] <pavlos> parabool, can you create another user from system settings | user groups?
[16:45] <harishkrupo> parabool, can the user oem use sudo ?
[16:45] <parabool> harishkrupo: it can, but i dont have the password. pavlos i can't
[16:46] <knocktwice> parabool: the password is your password, not a special password
[16:46] <parabool> knocktwice: the system never asked me for a password
[16:46] <harishkrupo> parabool, try to reset its password by booting into single user mode
[16:46] <parabool> harishkrupo: single user mode ?
[16:47] <harishkrupo> parabool, reboot your machine and choose ubuntu recovery from grub menu and you will have an option to drop into root shell
[16:48] <knocktwice> parabool: try 'sudo passwd'
[16:48] <harishkrupo> parabool, from there you can change the password by typing passwd <username>
[16:48] <knocktwice> if you have no password at all, that should allow you to set one
[16:49] <parabool> knocktwice: didn't work, seems there is a pw. harishkrupo i'll try it now. brb
[16:49] <misterjinx> hey guys, do you know why firefox wasn't updated in the packages ? i'm on trusty and the available version is still 38 although official firefox version is 38.0.5 (in the past there was always available the last version) ?
[16:49] <rOm3O> It works now :)
[16:49] <rOm3O> THank you so much guyz :)
[16:49] <rOm3O> harishkrupo are you from india bro?
[16:49] <IAmMe643> My mic is not recognized.
[16:50] <Unhammer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11567918/ anyone got a clue what I should do to set up my UEFI windows 8.1 to boot into ubuntu? it just keeps booting windows without giving me any grub menu or anything like that
[16:50] <daftykins> misterjinx: either the mirror you're on isn't updated, the latest version isn't coming to Ubuntu, or it's not ready yet - none of which are a big issue
[16:50] <Unhammer>    - already turned off fastboot, keeps booting windows
[16:50] <Unhammer>    - tried boot-repair auto, results at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11567918/, but keeps booting windows
[16:51] <Unhammer>  
[16:51] <Unhammer>    - turned off BIOS "quickboot" whatever that is, but keeps booting windows
[16:51] <Unhammer>    - turned off secureboot, but keeps booting windows
[16:51] <daftykins> Unhammer: enter the EFI and change the boot device from 'Windows Boot Manager' to the hard disk / SSD device entry.
[16:51] <Unhammer>    - tried "cmd.exe" as admin and "bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path
[16:51] <Unhammer>      \EFI\ubuntu\shimx64.efi", but keeps booting windows
[16:51] <Unhammer> enter the efi?
[16:51] <daftykins> yes
[16:51] <Unhammer> the BIOS menu?
[16:51] <daftykins> EFI setup :)
[16:51] <parabool> GRUB doesn't even show at startup.
[16:51] <parabool> Just boots Ubuntu
[16:51] <parabool> BRB
[16:51] <Unhammer> parabool,  it shouldn't show you mean?
[16:52] <daftykins> i think parabool is on about something else, not your situ
[16:52] <Unhammer> oh, sorry :)
[16:52] <qui3t_n3rd> I can't delete a partition on this SD card, Disks shows an error message Error deleting partition /dev/mmcblk0p1: Command-line `parted --script "/dev/mmcblk0" "rm 1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Error: /dev/mmcblk0: unrecognised disk label  (udisks-error-quark, 0)
[16:52] <Unhammer> daftykins,  I've done the thing where I go "advanced  boot settings" → troubleshoot→ advanced settings → UEFI settings
[16:53] <wad> So when I connect to my work's VPN from my laptop, my route goes through that VPN, but my DNS is messed up. I need to override it. At least, I think that's what's happening. What's the Right Way to temporarily override my DNS for while I'm on the VPN?
[16:53] <Unhammer> that gives me a typical "old bios"-looking menu
[16:53] <daftykins> Unhammer: that sounds more like something you're doing in Windows?
[16:53] <Unhammer> but when I move the ubuntu entry up in the boot menu, it keeps moving windows up with it
[16:53] <Unhammer> daftykins,  it reboots into the bios thing
[16:53] <daftykins> i'm saying to enter the EFI setup screens e.g. via powering off windows 8 with "shutdown -s -t 1" then powering up and pressing the key on your system to enter the EFI
[16:54] <daftykins> alright, so now you proceed to following the advice in my first statement
[16:54] <daftykins> check the available boot devices and change it from 'Windows Boot Manager' -> the HDD/SSD device name
[16:54] <Unhammer> I can't
[16:54] <daftykins> can you give a little bit more detail than that?
[16:54] <Unhammer> if I press - to move ubuntu up the priority list, it pushes windows up above it
[16:54] <harishkrupo_> parabool, here is a website which will help you do that http://tarunlinux.blogspot.in/2014/02/ubuntu-1204-grub-to-boot-into-single.html
[16:55] <Unhammer> it moves the whole "[HDDs]" as one group
[16:55] <daftykins> you need to find the relevant HDD section and change the order in that
[16:55] <daftykins> maybe provide photos of every EFI setup screen if you can't work it out
[16:56] <Unhammer> ooh here's something peculiar:
[16:56] <Unhammer> OS Optimized Defaults: <Enabled>
[16:57] <Unhammer> «select enabled to meet windows 8 certification requiriemnts»
[16:57] <Unhammer> no thank you :)
[16:57] <daftykins> that bears no relevance to your issue
[16:58] <Unhammer> hm :/
[16:58] <Unhammer> it didn't let me change the order anyway :()
[16:58] <daftykins> because you're probably looking at the wrong thing
[16:59] <daftykins> so if you have a smartphone or a camera, you can take pics and upload them
[16:59] <daftykins> or find a manual for your device
[16:59] <dschatzberg> hey all, I'm trying to use the acpi-cpufreq driver instead of the intel-pstate one on my ubuntu 14.10 server. I pass intel_pstate=disable on the command line but then I get no cpufreq driver, any ideas?
[17:00] <daftykins> did you install cpufreqd and cpufrequtils?
[17:01] <qui3t_n3rd> alright, progress update: I'm running a dd command to zero the SD card completely, hoping that will do something (dd doesn't show progress)
[17:01] <dschatzberg> daftykins, have cpufrequtils not cpufreqd
[17:01] <knocktwice> qui3t_n3rd: you could also try 'shred'
[17:02] <daftykins> i'm not sure if the daemon package is a prerequisite
[17:02] <daftykins> qui3t_n3rd: yes it will if you issue its' PID with a kill -USR1 flag
[17:02] <dschatzberg> daftykins, once I install it, what do I do to activate the driver?
[17:02] <daftykins> dschatzberg: i am not familiar with its' method of operation, but i'd bet it's documented somewhere out there
[17:02] <daftykins> !info cpufreqd utopic
[17:03] <daftykins> !info cpufrequtils utopic
[17:03] <daftykins> bam.
[17:03] <dschatzberg> daftykins, cpufreqd isn't what I want then
[17:04] <dschatzberg> I want to activate the driver, which seems to concern the kernel, not control the driver (which it seems cpufreqd does)
[17:06] <daftykins> dschatzberg: i think you misunderstand
[17:07] <knocktwice> qui3t_n3rd: expect about 25minutes per gig
[17:08] <qui3t_n3rd> knocktwice: so 100minutes, thank you
[17:08] <dschatzberg> daftykins, cpufreq-info reports "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" - I want to fix that. Cpufreqd seems to change the frequency dynamically (it interacts with the driver)
[17:09] <Unhammer> daftykins,  https://unhammer.org/owncloud/index.php/s/uk1sGskL9sAExcC#//IMG_20150604_190446.jpg my UEFI BIOS menus
[17:11] <daftykins> dschatzberg: right, but you have yet to find an alternative plan...
[17:11] <dschatzberg> daftykins, my point is that cpufreqd won't help me fix my problem
[17:11] <SchrodingersScat> qui3t_n3rd: you can have dd display progress, think it's sudo kill -s USR1 `pidof dd`
[17:12] <daftykins> dschatzberg: ok if you're sure...
[17:12] <rOm3O> i got this http://www.picpaste.com/2015-06-04-220940_1024x768_scrot-ZMHUVMEC.png
[17:13] <IAmMe643> My mic is not recognized.
[17:14] <daftykins> Unhammer: no see your hard disk device, the 1TB seagate, is listed above both the Windows Boot Manager and Ubuntu. You also have legacy boot enabled, so i suspect what you've done is have windows 8, you went to install ubuntu but you disabled EFI boot and booted ubuntu and installed it as legacy instead - correct?
[17:14] <snkcld> im having a really annoying issue ;(
[17:14] <daftykins> rOm3O: Mint is not supported in here
[17:15] <snkcld> any time i copy _or_ paste in chrome, my browser tab freezes
[17:15] <snkcld> this happens on chromium, too
[17:15] <snkcld> does anyone have any idea how i would go about debugging this?
[17:15] <daftykins> Unhammer: Devices tab -> ATA Drive Setup would have been interesting
[17:17] <Unhammer> daftykins,  where's the 1TB seagate? (I do see that 8gb thing that came after I tried opening some windows repair boot manager thing, I didn't let it actually run the repair)
[17:18] <daftykins> Unhammer: Primary Boot Sequence list, ST1000LM014 blah blah
[17:18] <daftykins> it says 8GB because that's a seagate hybrid drive, 1TB mechanical with 8GB NAND for cache
[17:19] <Unhammer> yeah, that one appeared after I tried the windows boot repair thing, but that was after trying all the other options
[17:19] <qui3t_n3rd> oh dd just finished after 1269.9 seconds to zero the card
[17:19] <daftykins> Unhammer: so can you comment as to whether you installed ubuntu in EFI or legacy mode?
[17:19] <daftykins> !uefi | Unhammer see here for the difference
[17:19] <Unhammer> The boot screen for the installer was a black background one that showed windows there
[17:19] <Unhammer> which apparantly should be efi
[17:20] <Unhammer> (as opposed to the fancy colour-background one)
[17:20] <parabool> harishkrupo: thanks, i will have a look.
[17:20] <Unhammer> which lead me to believe it was EFI, though can I find that out for sure from a live session? (since I can't actually boot into the ubuntu itself)
[17:20] <harishkrupo> parabool, welcome
[17:20] <Unhammer> https://unhammer.org/owncloud/index.php/s/wntvvDrXQOo4MS5 ← output of bcdedit if that helps
[17:21] <daftykins> Unhammer: are boot devices listed on the 'exit' page?
[17:21] <daftykins> so it's present but it's somehow skipping over it
[17:21] <daftykins> fun fun
[17:22] <Unhammer> maybe I should try reinstalling with an EFI-only image
[17:22] <Unhammer> like https://askubuntu.com/questions/395879/how-to-create-uefi-only-bootable-usb-live-media/
[17:23] <harishkrupo> Unhammer, if you want to find out if you are booted from uefi then check if the file /sys/firmware/efi exists
[17:23] <daftykins> thats not the situation :)
[17:24] <Unhammer> harishkrupo,  I don't want to check if I'm booted from efi, since I can't boot from efi …
[17:24] <Unhammer> I want to check, from a live session, if what I installed was efi
[17:25] <harishkrupo> ok...
[17:25] <daftykins> Unhammer: it looks pretty certain given the EFI boot images are there
[17:25] <DolphinDream> what is the difference between the git package and git-core package ? if i installed git should i also install git-core ?
[17:25] <Unhammer> well, I did do the boot-repair thing …
[17:25] <teward> DolphinDream: i think git-core is obsoleted now
[17:25] <daftykins> Unhammer: if you boot a live session and confirm they're present on the EFI boot volume that should be fine
[17:25] <Unhammer> also the bcdedit thing
[17:26] <Unhammer> oh, /sys is something on disk
[17:26] <daftykins> Unhammer: right but there has been no result
[17:26] <Unhammer> thoughtit was like /proc
[17:26] <teward> DolphinDream: yeah, git-core is obsolete, just use `git`
[17:26] <DolphinDream> kool teward .. where did you check that ?
[17:27] <teward> DolphinDream: the package description line from `apt-cache show git-core`.  Also the packages.u.c site - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=git-core&searchon=names&exact=1&suite=all&section=all
[17:27] <Darts301> Hello
[17:27] <DolphinDream> awesome. thx teward
[17:28] <Unhammer> oh, and https://unhammer.org/owncloud/index.php/s/kon8laeaYyFIPm6 was the only thing on the EXIT screen
[17:29] <daftykins> Unhammer: and the other page i mentioned?
[17:29] <Unhammer> legacy support seems disabled (it's called CSM Compatibility Support Mode)
[17:29] <daftykins> yes i know what CSM is :)
[17:30] <daftykins> you shouldn't even really have it on
[17:30] <Unhammer> yeah it's off
[17:31] <Unhammer> https://unhammer.org/owncloud/index.php/s/lvOluNige9eWB3C
[17:31] <Unhammer> ata devices doesn't seem helpful
[17:32] <majoy> let me try
[17:33] <majoy> is this the correct way to send message here
[17:33] <daftykins> Unhammer: heh yeah that wasn't what i expected. ok, you need one of our resident boot experts. what was your ubuntu installation procedure, did you resize from within 8, then install beside?
[17:33] <daftykins> majoy: typing on your keyboard? yep
[17:33] <Unhammer> resize from installer
[17:34] <daftykins> bleh
[17:34] <daftykins> Jordan_U: ping
[17:34] <majoy> hard to ditinguish
[17:35] <daftykins> majoy: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[17:35] <majoy> no
[17:36] <majoy> sorry,i m try to use this ,may be it for faq
[17:36] <Unhammer> if it matters, this is a Lenovo Ideacentre A740
[17:36] <Tarrew> hey, i have a problem with "apt-get update". its taking several minutes every time :/ i already selected the "best server" in the options. any fix for that?
[17:39] <daftykins> Tarrew: what version are you running? "cat /etc/issue"
[17:39] <Tarrew> daftykins: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
[17:40] <daftykins> Tarrew: connection issues? DNS server slow? hard disk failing?
[17:41] <Tarrew> having a stable connection. just everytime i run apt-get update its downloading around 35MB. shouldnt it download that much only the first time? and running it again it should only download like 0.1MB.. atleast thats how i remember it
[17:42] <daftykins> is this a VPS or a home system?
[17:42] <tgm4883> Tarrew: apt-get update gets the list of packages, it doesn't download any packages
[17:42] <tgm4883> although I wouldn't think the lists would be 35MB
[17:42] <daftykins> yeah but it's downloading those package lists, is what Tarrew is saying
[17:42] <ioria> Tarrew, check your sources.list .... do you have ppa ?
[17:42] <OerHeks> If updates are slow, wait a minute and try again?
[17:42] <tgm4883> well yea, it's suppose to download those package lists
[17:43] <Tarrew> probably didnt express clearly. in german it says "Es wurden 34,2 MB in 2 min 1 s geholt". which means like "downloaded 34,2 mb in 2minutes". atleast thats how i would translate it
[17:43] <muh2000> hi all
[17:43] <Tarrew> the thing is i have this issues for days. its rly weird
[17:44] <muh2000> stange thing every once in a while, firefox plays weird voices and i cannot identify the source. closed tabs etc... still playing...
[17:44] <daftykins> yeah it speaks of download even when it actually doesn't
[17:44] <daftykins> Tarrew: it refers to 31.7MB at one stage in the update on mine, but at the end it actually says "Fetched 1,793 kB in 7s (247 kB/s)"
[17:45] <daftykins> so it doesn't actually download 31.7MB.
[17:45] <Tarrew> how long does your update take? i remember it used to be very fast for  me. like under 30seconds or sth
[17:45] <daftykins> 10 seconds
[17:46] <tgm4883> Tarrew: can you pastebin the output of one of your update runs?
[17:46] <Tarrew> ah yea i see. rly weird its literally taking 2 minuutes every time
[17:46] <Tarrew> tgm4883: i will
[17:46] <tgm4883> daftykins: I think you mean 7 seconds ;)
[17:46] <daftykins> so is it a VPS, VM  or a physical system?
[17:46] <daftykins> tgm4883: that was the download, not the entire process.
[17:46] <daftykins> tut tut!
[17:47] <tgm4883> daftykins: fair point
[17:47] <daftykins> :D
[17:48] <Tarrew> so thats the output:
[17:48] <Tarrew> http://pastebin.com/7gaddcYv
[17:48] <_Kai_> #ubuntutouch
[17:48] <ioria> yes, you have ppa
[17:48] <_Kai_> is it a thing?
[17:49] <daftykins> Tarrew: i think you've got a tonne of PPAs that might be slowing the process down
[17:49] <daftykins> Tarrew: maybe check which you have added and consider removing some if they're no longer necessary
[17:50] <Tarrew> will do that now. probably theres no "reset to default" setting?!
[17:50] <ioria> Tarrew, how many DNS do you have ?
[17:50] <tgm4883> Tarrew: that would be just deleting/moving everything in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[17:52] <Tarrew> @ioria: how can i check it? sorry really not experienced in those things. @tgm4883 will consider doing that. probably easiest thing
[17:52] <ioria> Tarrew, in Network Connection
[17:53] <tgm4883> Tarrew: the problem with doing that is you'll no longer get updates for any software that you installed from there. For instance, Google Chrome
[17:55] <daftykins> yeah you don't want to just nuke them all...
[17:55] <tgm4883> You could just move them out of the folder for testing, but I wouldn't just do that and leave it
[17:55] <Tarrew> there are a few in that folder. 16
[17:55] <Tarrew> not sure if thats unusual ;p
[17:56] <daftykins> they're stored in pairs i think
[17:56] <daftykins> so that might mean 8 PPAs
[17:56] <Tarrew> ah yea i see.
[17:58] <Tarrew> deleted a few. when i run the apt-get update the only thing thats taking forever is fetching the information from extras.ubuntu.com
[17:59] <daftykins> is any other action on this system slower than it should be?
[17:59] <OerHeks> maybe resetting your router solves these mistary delays.
[17:59] <daftykins> typically something IO based?
[17:59] <Tarrew> hmm. using an SSD and the system is super smooth and fast overall
[17:59] <daftykins> definitely sounds DNS or network based then, mm
[18:00] <daftykins> something like that
[18:00] <Tarrew> no matter how often i run the command its literally 2minutes and 1second every time. rly surprising
[18:00] <daftykins> try booting a live session and run an apt-get update on that, see how it compares
[18:00] <Tarrew> will try that, ty
[18:00] <daftykins> that way you don't have to trash your working setup to find out
[18:00] <daftykins> np :>
[18:00] <Tarrew> brb ;)
[18:04] <ioria> !info nm-tool
[18:06] <wafflejock> ioria, believe that's in network-manager, but don't know a ton about it
[18:06] <bekks> !find nm-tool
[18:06] <ioria> wafflejock, no it's dead , now is  nmcli dev
[18:06] <bekks> ah :)
[18:06] <bekks> !find nmcli
[18:06] <ioria> :-(
[18:07] <wafflejock> ah
[18:08] <ioria> Tarrew, try  nmcli dev show | grep DNS
[18:11] <wafflejock> ioria, gone but just tried here think they need, nmcli d list | grep DNS, nmcli is pretty cool though never seen this one
[18:12] <ioria> Tarrew, neither do i ç_ç
[18:13] <Vespero2> Hey, I broke my keyboard trying to install/edit keyboard layouts. I can access a commandline via recovery mode. Can anyone help me reinstall the layout service or re-download the default us layout?
[18:13] <Retina> hello fellas
[18:13] <Retina> how are you doing
[18:14] <ioria> Vespero2, never done but you can try dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
[18:15] <Vespero2> dpkg-reconfigure xkb-(something, I forget what) didn't work, but I'll try that
[18:15] <daftykins> Retina: just fine here. support only in this channel and chat in #ubuntu-offtopic though please :)
[18:15] <wafflejock> Vespero2, http://askubuntu.com/questions/342066/how-to-permanently-configure-keyboard it seems to depend in part on your Desktop environment and version though
[18:15] <Retina> :)
[18:15] <Retina> I now it is only support here daftykins
[18:16] <wafflejock> Vespero2, are you using XFCE or the default Unity or something else?
[18:16] <Retina> I just wanted to warm greetings
[18:16] <Retina> I would like to discuss,
[18:16] <Retina> what do you think about Kali linux tools installed on ubuntu 15.04
[18:16] <daftykins> Retina: unsupported is what i would think
[18:16] <Retina> will it create a leak or security flaw in system?
[18:16] <OerHeks> Retina, discussion in #ubuntu-discuss, this is support only
[18:16] <Retina> :) OerHeks
[18:16] <Retina> Tamam.
[18:16] <Retina> I will go there
[18:16] <Retina> thanks
[18:17] <OerHeks> yw
[18:18] <Vespero2> wafflejock, It acted like it was going to work, but when I get to the login screen I lose the keyboard still. I'm using default Unity
[18:19] <Vespero2> wafflejock, Oh, I read that it uses cached keyboard layouts and that editing layout files doesn't update the cache. I'll go clear the cache as soon as I can find out where it is
[18:19] <dionysus69> hey guys I added powertop --auto-tune to /etc/rc.local, how can I check if it really runs at startup ?
[18:23] <Razzdoll> Whats wrong with the terminal in ubuntu? Everytime I try to resize it.. It minimizes to the size of a pencil...
[18:23] <wafflejock> Vespero2, okay yeah just found a bug regarding XFCE think this should work for Unity
[18:23] <daftykins> dionysus69: grep your process list for it?
[18:23] <Vespero2> wafflejock, Nope, deleting cache didn't work
[18:23] <dionysus69> how do I do it daftykins ?
[18:23] <ioria> Vespero2, did you run the dpkg command and then service keyboard-setup restart ?
[18:24] <daftykins> ps -ef | grep power
[18:24] <Vespero2> ioria, yes
[18:26] <daftykins> EriC^^: someone is in need of your EFI boot expertise if you're game?
[18:26] <EriC^^> daftykins: yeah sure
[18:26] <daftykins> cool :)
[18:26] <daftykins> Unhammer: are you still active? EriC^^ can sort you out :>
[18:26] <daftykins> story is: Unhammer installed ubuntu EFI beside windows 8, but only Windows boots
[18:26] <ioria> Vespero2, if the service  fails , i found this command  : udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change and reboot, but don't know exactly what it does
[18:27] <daftykins> in Unhammer's EFI, the physical disk (a seagate SSHD) is selected above Windows Boot Manager, which in turn is above Ubuntu's EFI entry
[18:27] <daftykins> so it seems odd it's not booting
[18:27] <EriC^^> daftykins: oh ok
[18:27] <Vespero2> ioria, I don't know that the service is failing, just that the layout file it's looking for is damaged
[18:28] <ioria> Vespero2, /etc/default/keyboard, you mean ?
[18:29] <Vespero2> ioria, no, /usr/share/xkb/symbol/us
[18:29] <Razzdoll> Does anyone know this problem?
[18:30] <Unhammer> daftykins,  hey
[18:30] <EriC^^> Unhammer: hi
[18:30] <drmagoo> Hi, can someone here confirm if the nvidia-346 driver is a part of the official repos in 15.04 ?
[18:30] <dionysus69> daftykins: it lists upowerd and auto power
[18:31] <EriC^^> Unhammer: are you in a live usb right now?
[18:31] <daftykins> !info nvidia-346
[18:31] <daftykins> drmagoo: yes.
[18:31] <dionysus69> should /etc/rc.local entries get executed at startup generally?
[18:31] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  I can be :)
[18:31] <Unhammer> 'sec'
[18:31] <EriC^^> ok
[18:31] <drmagoo> daftykins: thank you very much
[18:32] <daftykins> dionysus69: ah silly me, so powertop is more just running once than running as a daemon - so my approach was of no use
[18:32] <daftykins> drmagoo: i think there's newer though, just run "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache search nvidia-" to see all available
[18:33] <Unhammer> bah getting into that UEFI boot menu takes forever since I have to do it from within windows
[18:33] <daftykins> well you don't
[18:33] <daftykins> but that is one method :P
[18:33] <Unhammer> i don't know the secret keyshake for lenovo …
[18:33] <drmagoo> daftykins: I'm still on 14.04, having some issues with my gtx960-card.. Have the same problem with nvidias own, as with the drivers from xorg-edgers and mamarley... so i am thinking about upgrading
[18:33] <daftykins> F12.
[18:33] <Unhammer> or, for ideacentres
[18:33] <daftykins> lol
[18:34] <Unhammer> huh, that 1tb+8gb entry is gone now btw
[18:34] <daftykins> drmagoo: no reason a 960 wouldn't work on 14.04, sounds like you've messed up your setup somehow. are you booted into it right now?
[18:35] <daftykins> drmagoo: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[18:35] <Unhammer> ok, in live disk now (created by 7x x xubuntu.iso /media/… && parted set 1 boot on, so I'd be sure it's uefi-only)
[18:35] <dionysus69> daftykins: so any ideas how to detect if its running or not?
[18:36] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, i'll brb in a sec
[18:36] <daftykins> dionysus69: no
[18:36] <drmagoo> daftykins: Im on it right now... will do
[18:36] <daftykins> dionysus69: why don't you add a line to rc.local after you have it run powertop, then have it echo some text into a file... then you'll have proof
[18:37] <dionysus69> daftykins: there is a thing about it though, powertop needs sudo permission while echo doesnt so :\ i might leak something by that test
[18:37] <drmagoo> daftykins:
[18:37] <daftykins> ...
[18:37] <Promille> Hey guys. Are there any good to-do programs in the repos in ubuntu. Should make it easy to add new task, and check them when its done.
[18:37] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, type sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[18:37] <EriC^^> Unhammer: then sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[18:37] <drmagoo> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11571022/ sorry ;)
[18:38] <Vespero2> I regularly switch between two keyboards, but switching to the other (non-US) doesn't work
[18:38] <daftykins> drmagoo: right so this shows 349 is on, is this not working?
[18:38] <Vespero2> On-Screen keyboard says no keyboard found
[18:39] <Mia> Hey all
[18:39] <daftykins> hi
[18:39] <Mia> I'm trying to install ubuntu on a 4 year old laptop
[18:39] <daftykins> ok?
[18:39] <Mia> I did the usb stick installation thing on the website
[18:39] <daftykins> which version and what's wrong?
[18:39] <Mia> all I get is "no bios bp data"
[18:40] <daftykins> when? where?
[18:40] <Mia> the 14.2 stable version
[18:40] <Vespero2> should I reinstall xorg?
[18:40] <Mia> the recommended download on the website
[18:40] <Mia> Well the usb stick boots up
[18:40] <daftykins> 14.04.2 LTS you mean?
[18:40] <Unhammer> arghs wheres the pipe on this thing
[18:40] <Mia> I see "try ubuntu " "install ubuntu" etc
[18:40] <daftykins> 'stable' is not appropriate as all ubuntu releases are stable
[18:40] <Mia> but I cna't do "enter" for any of those
[18:40] <Mia> then I see a white screen
[18:40] <Mia> then it says "no bios bp data"
[18:40] <daftykins> !nomodeset | Mia try this
[18:40] <Mia> then waits for a bit and goes to ubuntu loading screen
[18:40] <daftykins> Mia: also tell us what system this is
[18:41] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11571096/
[18:41] <Mia> daftykins, Unhammer but it loads the ubuntu loading screen
[18:41] <Mia> the purple one with dots
[18:41] <drmagoo> daftykins: yes and no. When I wake the monitors (dual-head same make and model) up, all applications on the right monitor are "hidden" in the background, the refresh rate on the right monitor is set down to 30 hz. And lastly every now and then Xorg crashes when I try to log back in.
[18:41] <Mia> and it sems like it's loading something
[18:42] <Mia> but it never ends
[18:42] <Mia> just waits and waits more
[18:42] <Mia> for like 4 hours I waited
[18:42] <Mia> I think it's mroe than enough
[18:42] <drmagoo> daftykins: and that all started when I installed this graphicscard
[18:42] <daftykins> Mia: yep so try nomodeset as suggested above and tell me the system make + mode
[18:42] <daftykins> *model
[18:42] <Mia> daftykins, sure I'm checking the page right now how d I set the parameter
[18:42] <daftykins> F6 on the flash drive boot menu
[18:43] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type sudo efibootmgr -v | pastebinit
[18:43] <Mia> thanks
[18:43] <Mia> twsting
[18:44] <daftykins> drmagoo: sounds like a mess, so you have three choices: 1) remove all the messy PPAs you might have added, revert to stock packages then purge nvidia* and then clean install a supported official repo version. 2) clean install 14.04. 3) clean install 15.04
[18:44] <Mia> it said callibration failed
[18:44] <Mia> and it said "no bios bp data" again
[18:44] <Mia> daftykins,
[18:44] <Mia> f6 didn't do anything though, should I see something popping up instantly
[18:44] <mbs_> who do i talk to about a package being out of date?
[18:45] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  command not found, what's the package for efibootmgr?
[18:45] <Mia> I mean I can also not make a pick out of the flash drive's menu
[18:45] <daftykins> Mia: i get absolutely nothing on google from "no bios bp data" so are you sure that's what it says?
[18:45] <EriC^^> Unhammer: efibootmgr
[18:45] <Mia> yes
[18:45] <Mia> exactly that
[18:45] <Unhammer> doh
[18:45] <daftykins> Mia: so i must for the third time ask what make and model of system this is
[18:45] <ioria> Vespero2, if your /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us is broken you ca copy this in it and reconfigure :  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11571127/
[18:45] <Mia> "no bios dp data"
[18:45] <Mia> not bp
[18:45] <daftykins> oh DP
[18:45] <daftykins> right :P
[18:45] <Mia> haha
[18:45] <Mia> I misread (and possibly mistyped?)
[18:45] <Unhammer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11571128/
[18:45] <Mia> does it make a difference now?
[18:46] <Mia> daftykins, the computer is asus aspire 6935
[18:46] <daftykins> Mia: yes, and nomodeset still applies, you did press F6... cursor up to nomodeset and enable it before selecting 'try ubuntu' yes?
[18:46] <Mia> cursor?
[18:46] <Mia> there is no cursor
[18:46] <daftykins> cursor keys are the arrows on your keyboard
[18:46] <Mia> and f6 does nothing really
[18:46] <EriC^^> Unhammer: did you install ubuntu after windows?
[18:46] <Mia> yeah they don't do much either
[18:46] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  yes
[18:46] <Mia> I try enter as well
[18:47] <daftykins> Mia: ok carry on reading my earlier link until you can get nomodeset enabled then please :)
[18:47] <Mia> it just waits then timeouts I guess
[18:47] <Mia> and auto makes a pick
[18:47] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, we might need to switch the efi files to trick the bios, cause it seems hardwired to boot the windows efi
[18:47] <Mia> daftykins, I can't do f6, any other alternative?
[18:47] <daftykins> Mia: read the link like i said please.
[18:47] <Vespero2> ioria, I'll try that, but even switching to a German layout isn't working right now
[18:47] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
[18:47] <Unhammer> fun
[18:48] <Unhammer> I have no sda6 .
[18:48] <Unhammer> weird
[18:48] <Unhammer> oh no pebkac
[18:48] <EriC^^> ?
[18:48] <Unhammer> sorry, nevermind, it's mounted
[18:48] <EriC^^> ok, type sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot/efi
[18:49] <drmagoo> daftykins: I will try to purge them once again and see if I have more luck with the old drivers. thank you
[18:49] <daftykins> drmagoo: you'd have to remove xorg-edgers and any other PPA prior to trying again, of course
[18:49] <shudon> hi all :) i am using Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to a VNC server, but the password field only allows me to enter 8 characters!
[18:49] <daftykins> !ppapurge
[18:49] <Mia> daftykins, it goes to automatic boot I guess
[18:49] <Mia> I mean
[18:49] <Mia> it's not doing anything when I press any key
[18:49] <Mia> so I'm not usre if "e" works or not
[18:49] <Unhammer> alright …
[18:49] <Mia> as well as entering
[18:50] <EriC^^> Unhammer: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[18:50] <Mia> left right keys work to navigate the menu but I can't make a pick
[18:50] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type the whole line
[18:50] <Mia> and f6 does not make a difference
[18:50] <daftykins> Mia: there is one sure fire way to find out if pressing 'e' on try ubuntu will work... that's to try it ;)
[18:50] <Mia> as well as pressing "e" to edit the item
[18:50] <voodooo> hi all
[18:50] <Mia> I did
[18:50] <Mia> it does not work
[18:50] <Mia> daftykins
[18:50] <daftykins> ...
[18:50] <Mia> it does nothing
[18:50] <Mia> I don't see anything popping up
[18:50] <Mia> or changing
[18:50] <Mia> Nothing at all
[18:51] <daftykins> can you even cursor up and down? (arrow keys)
[18:51] <Mia> no
[18:51] <Mia> just left right
[18:51] <Mia> that does the up down thing
[18:51] <Mia> up down does not do anything
[18:51] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  done
[18:51] <Unhammer> I have /mnt/proc etc
[18:51] <daftykins> oy vey
[18:51] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, type sudo chroot /mnt
[18:51] <daftykins> Mia: what kind of computer and OS did you make this flash drive up from?
[18:52] <Mia> windows stopped working
[18:52] <Mia> it had windows 7 installed
[18:52] <Unhammer> done
[18:52] <Unhammer> … so we just fake-booted into that. nice.
[18:52] <Mia> and the comuter is asus aspire 6935
[18:52] <Mia> 4gb ram
[18:52] <Mia> not TOO old
[18:52] <Mia> just like 4 years old
[18:52] <daftykins> Mia: can you please stop pressing enter so much and reply in full sentences on *one* line?
[18:53] <Mia> sure, sorry -
[18:53] <EriC^^> Unhammer: yeah, type cp /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi{,.backup}
[18:53] <daftykins> Mia: i asked which OS and computer you prepared the USB flash drive boot from?
[18:53] <Mia> I'm kind of annoyed right now and I feel clueless about what I'm doing, so I guess I get excited when I get replies :)
[18:53] <daftykins> alright well stop that.
[18:53] <Mia> Oh, I prepared it in windows with the universal usb installer thing
[18:53] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  copied :)
[18:53] <Mia> followerd the steps on the website daftykins
[18:53] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type cp /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi{,.backup}
[18:54] <daftykins> Mia: on a different computer?
[18:54] <Mia> daftykins, yes,
[18:54] <Mia> should I make it on the same one?!
[18:54] <daftykins> Mia: ok test boot that flash drive in that other computer to make sure it's ok
[18:54] <daftykins> well you said 7 doesn't work so surely it has no working OS to use? :P
[18:55] <Mia> daftykins, yes the one I'm trying to install does not have an os installed right now
[18:55] <Mia> when I boot it up I just see a letter, "Y" I have no idea what it is
[18:55] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  done
[18:55] <Mia> anyway I was wanting to install ubuntu to that, so yeah this is my chance
[18:55] <Mia> I prepaed the usb stick on another machine though
[18:56] <daftykins> Mia: yes so plug the flash drive into the computer you prepared the drive with... and TEST boot it there
[18:56] <daftykins> this will rule out there being a problem with the drive
[18:56] <Mia> daftykins, okay doing it now
[18:56] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi
[18:57] <Unhammer> done
[18:58] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, type cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
[18:58] <Unhammer> done
[18:58] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, type cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/grubx64.efi
[18:59] <drmagoo> daftykins: I've purge the ppa's, but now when I check the repos there is only 304-331 drivers there. No 346 or newer
[18:59] <Vespero2> Purging and reinstalling xserver-xorg worked
[18:59] <Unhammer> done
[18:59] <Vespero2> thanks for your help, guys
[18:59] <Unhammer> (though that was a bit confusing)
[18:59] <EriC^^> Unhammer: type sudo nano /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft , then replace bootmgfw.efi with bootmgfw.efi.backup
[19:00] <daftykins> drmagoo: yeah so it's back to normal, make sure you have any other cruft cleaned out - all nvidia* purged and do a dist-upgrade to ensure you're fully up to date and set
[19:00] <EriC^^> Unhammer: it sometimes whines about not finding grubx64.efi there
[19:00] <Mia> daftykins, yes it loaded fine on the other machine
[19:00] <Mia> :/
[19:01] <daftykins> Mia: right so the drive is good, that makes life easier
[19:01] <ioria> Vespero2, np
[19:01] <Mia> daftykins, hmmm what are my options now
[19:01] <Unhammer> alright, nano'd
[19:02] <EriC^^> Unhammer: ok, type update-grub
[19:02] <Unhammer> still from within the chroot, right?
[19:02] <EriC^^> yeah
[19:02] <daftykins> Mia: so acer aspire 6935 huh
[19:02] <Mia> yes
[19:02] <dgs> i'm having some network/DNS issues with a machine. I can't resolve anything - not even entries explicitly added to the /etc/hosts file. (see http://pastie.org/10223843 ). I can ping out via IP address, but cannot ping/resolve anything by name. There are 3 name servers specified in /etc/hosts - all of which are reachable via ping and are working for other hosts on the network. Hosts set up in /etc/hosts can't be resolved - if I add a site to /etc/h
[19:02] <dgs> I still can't ping it by name, but pinging it by ip works fine...
[19:02] <Mia> :)
[19:02] <daftykins> Mia: what happened to the Windows 7 install? suddenly didn't boot anymore one day?
[19:03] <Tarrew> ok im back. took a lil bit longer. had this problem problem with the apt-get update. Booted from usb stick and cant update at all there. it stops at 83% fetching data from "archive.ubuntu.com"
[19:03] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11571596/
[19:03] <Mia> daftykins, yes, well windows behaved like it's trying to load
[19:03] <drmagoo> daftykins: I'm sorry for this really stupid question: but which driver shall I choose?
[19:03] <EriC^^> Unhammer: great, type exit
[19:04] <Mia> the neverending "waiting" circle, so I needed to restart
[19:04] <EriC^^> Unhammer: then reboot and see if it works, if it doesn't make sure secureboot is turned off
[19:04] <knocktwice> dgs: do 'nslookup' or 'dig' give any helpful hints? You could use 'tcpdump' to see who it's asking for dns, or if at all.
[19:04] <Mia> I powered off, and powered on and it was this vlack screen with Y letter on it
[19:04] <Mia> I thought it's one of those windows crashes really
[19:04] <Mia> daftykins, anything else specific you want to know? :)
[19:05] <dgs> knocktwice: unfortunately not installed, and until I sort out network issues, I can't install them =/
[19:05] <Unhammer> alright
[19:05] <daftykins> Mia: is this the machine? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-Aspire-16-inch-Laptop-Premium/dp/B001HK214A
[19:06] <Mia> yes daftykins not the "G" model though
[19:06] <Mia> I'm not sure what the G stands for, mine does not have the G
[19:06] <Mia> but the same look, yes.
[19:07] <daftykins> Mia: ok. i suspect your hard disk might have an issue, so if it were me... i would remove it
[19:07] <Mia> daftykins, normally does the boot (from flash) works without the HD?
[19:07] <Mia> The HD was switched recently yes, so it might have an issue
[19:07] <Unhammer> ooh grub!
[19:07] <Jordan_U> Unhammer: Be sure to write those instructions down, as you will need to re-run those cp commands any time Windows re-writes its efi images, and you will need to re-edit /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft any time the os-prober package is upgraded.
[19:08] <daftykins> Mia: it was? why was it swapped?
[19:08] <Unhammer> already did :) thank you so much EriC^^ daftykins Jordan_U
[19:08] <daftykins> Unhammer: np
[19:08] <Mia> daftykins, well it's not my pc, it was my boyfirends'
[19:09] <Mia> he switched it because it was totally dead, some guy did it
[19:09] <EriC^^> Unhammer: np
[19:09] <Mia> My bf is not really into computers hehe
[19:09] <Mia> I don't know what the EXACT problem was
[19:09] <EriC^^> Unhammer: did you try booting into windows?
[19:09] <daftykins> Mia: ok
[19:09] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  not yet, not sure I want to take my chances until I'm desperate for a firmware update =P
[19:10] <Unhammer> (which is the only reason I'm keeping windows around)
[19:10] <Unhammer> should it be "safe" to try windows?
[19:10] <EriC^^> yeah, most likely
[19:10] <daftykins> Unhammer: for what it's worth i had a cheap Lenovo system in here recently, i updated the EFI for fun... resized Windows 8's C:... booted an ubuntu flash drive and installed it beside just perfectly.
[19:10] <Unhammer> alright, I'll give it a go :)
[19:10] <daftykins> no issues
[19:10] <Unhammer> daftykins,  cheap as in non-thinkpad?
[19:11] <Unhammer> I was sort of afraid I'd have issues since this model is fairly new
[19:11] <Unhammer> and non-think
[19:11] <daftykins> it was a B50-70
[19:11] <daftykins> which is part of the essential business line iirc
[19:15] <Unhammer> um btw, which of the three windows entries is it?
[19:16] <Unhammer> Windows UEFI bootmgfw.efi
[19:16] <Unhammer> Windows Boot UEFI loader
[19:16] <Unhammer> Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda2)
[19:17] <Unhammer> ok, second one; first one is our fake :)
[19:18] <Unhammer> so windows boots
[19:18] <EriC^^> ok, great, restart from windows and see if you still get grub
[19:20] <dreamcat4^> hello! i've got a question about i386 architecture: does ubuntu have any plans to drop support for it in the future? if yes, how many more years?
[19:20] <Unhammer> works =D
[19:20] <EriC^^> Unhammer: did you disable the fast startup in windows by the way?
[19:20] <daftykins> no idea, but there's less and less reason to install 32-bit OSs here in 2015, dreamcat4^
[19:20] <EriC^^> Unhammer: cool
[19:20] <Unhammer> EriC^^,  yeah, first thing I did
[19:20] <Unhammer> before installing
[19:21] <daftykins> i didn't have to do any of that to get a dualboot going :)
[19:21] <Unhammer> not sure about the quickboot thing in bios
[19:21] <acz32> many servers are i386
[19:21] <Unhammer> that's what I get for trying to install on a new system I guess :-/
[19:21] <rakib> life
[19:21] <rakib> whats up everybody
[19:22] <pbx> running unity on 14.04, is there an equivalent to "hide others" on os x?
[19:23] <daftykins> Unhammer: well no the one i got was brand new. but as mentioned i updated the EFI first thing
[19:23] <daftykins> because they're always so, so buggy
[19:23] <drmagoo> daftykins: sorry that I'm a pain, but do you have any suggestion on which driver to install and use?
[19:23] <Unhammer> I didn't find any firmware updates on lenovo.com for my chipset at all
[19:23] <daftykins> drmagoo: all dist-upgrade'd fine now huh?
[19:23] <daftykins> Unhammer: BIOS update, not chipset
[19:23] <dreamcat4^> daftykins: yeah, it's a question whether i need to make i386 packages (for tvheadend project). currently we only make 64-bit ones but some user still on 32-bit OS.
[19:24] <daftykins> that's not what chipset means ;)
[19:24] <Unhammer> daftykins,  the bios update said it was for broadsomething, not haswell
[19:24] <poorUser> Hi people since 15.04 i need to reboot the router(s) in order to have ipv4 address, i get only ipv6 and i'm totally disconnected from the the net. Does anyone have this problem or knows a solution?
[19:24] <Unhammer> it did say bios though. but I'm not a hardware person so have no clue
[19:24] <daftykins> Unhammer: doesn't sound like you found the correct page for your model
[19:24]  * dreamcat4^ was kindda hoping ubuntu would stop officially supporting i386 as soon as 2 years from now (or next LTS release)
[19:24] <drmagoo> daftykins: yes =) I'm pretty sure I've gotten everything back to what it was before, except for the driver
[19:24] <netlar> I installed Wine, but how do I actually run windows programs from it
[19:25] <daftykins> drmagoo: alright, and you're able to boot to desktop fine right now? which driver is in use?
[19:25] <daftykins> !wine | netlar
[19:25] <Unhammer> anyway, this leads me to my next problem, hehe: whenever I do a shutdown from ubuntu (live session/installing/installed ubuntu), it crashes hard (and the screen gets these funny multicolored lines like the weird side of youtube)
[19:26] <Unhammer> sysrq elephants didn't have any effect, and I did try echo 1 to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
[19:26] <Unhammer> and I just apt-get upgraded
[19:26] <daftykins> elephants o0 as in reisub?
[19:26] <Unhammer> that one
[19:26] <drmagoo> daftykins: not rebooted yet, since there is no display driver installed except nouveau
[19:26] <al8989> hello i have a question i have usb wireless network stick based off the realtek RTL8187Bchipset and it works with my ubuntu 14.04 installation, but it radomly disconnects and i have to keep reconnecting to my wireless network which is annoying is there any solution?
[19:26] <Unhammer> uh I always recite it in my head …
[19:27] <Unhammer> so I have to hold the power button to shutdown :/
[19:28] <Unhammer> I can't see it being related to the EFI thing (unless something should've been done after it said "everything's installed, click to restart")
[19:28] <daftykins> drmagoo: ok yeah so you'd only be able to boot with nomodeset right now huh? i think it'd be wise to reboot anyway since all the recent changes
[19:28] <daftykins> drmagoo: also a sudo apt-get autoremove ; to remove any old kernels lurking around
[19:30] <drmagoo> daftykins: all that has been done... But which driver shall I choose after the reboot.. Since its the same computer that I use for irssi, if you have an idea so that I know what to do next if i dont get it backup all the way
[19:31] <daftykins> drmagoo: well as i say you'll need to boot in with nomodeset passed as a kernel param first to ensure everything is still good
[19:31] <daftykins> drivers come later (:
[19:32] <daftykins> drmagoo: i'd like to see a clean boot /var/log/Xorg.0.log before continuing
[19:33] <drmagoo> daftykins: ok... will hopefully be back in a while
[19:45] <blondie101010> does anyone know where to get the build script used by the distribution, I'm mostly looking for the apache build script...  I was told how to get the source code for it with `apt-get source apache2` but that doesn't seem to include the build script
[19:46] <jzvi12> is anybody sharing a library with useful shell/bash scripts?
[19:47] <drmagoo> daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11572298/
[19:48] <wendico> hello, anybody has experienced genymotion on ubuntu?
[19:48] <daftykins> drmagoo: hrmm what's with 'nomdmonddf' and 'nomdmonisw' ?
[19:48] <al8989> hello i have a question.  i have usb wireless network adapter based off the realtek RTL8187B chipset and it works with my ubuntu 14.04 installation, but it radomly disconnects and i have to keep reconnecting to my wireless network which is annoying is there any solutionto stop the wireless adapter from randomly disconnecting?
[19:48] <daftykins> RAID related? 0o
[19:48] <blondie101010> jzvi12: without exaggeration there are millions, what are you really looking for?
[19:48] <Pici> jzvi12: If you are looking for something in particular the folks in #bash might be able to point you in the right direction.
[19:49] <wendico> how can i have android with google apps in ubuntu?
[19:49] <drmagoo> daftykins: might be, are running a few mdm-raids on this machine...  Status right now is that I get the login-prompt, but cant login...
[19:50] <daftykins> drmagoo: as in the GUI one? so you shared this from a TTY?
[19:50] <Delta706> In unity, is there a way to have a script run at logout time, before it starts closing windows?
[19:51] <drmagoo> daftykins: I'm on my tablet now, running putty... havent tried to reach a shell yet
[19:51] <daftykins> drmagoo: ah ok. so i'd add xorg-edgers back in, apt-get update and pick anything v340+
[19:52] <drmagoo> daftykins: ok, i'll try that now then
[19:54] <drmagoo> daftykins: xorg-edgers or mamarley ? does it matter which one I choose
[19:55] <daftykins> drmagoo: i've never heard of mamarley so i'd stick to what i know works for people
[19:55] <daftykins> was this 14.04.2 ? i forget already
[19:55] <jzvi12> =)
[19:55] <drmagoo> daftykins: ok =)
[19:55] <drmagoo> daftykins: yes
[19:55] <daftykins> i could've just re-read your xorg log of course
[19:55] <jzvi12>  has anyone tried simonics google voice free gateway? if so, opinions?
[19:55] <daftykins> drmagoo: make sure there is no xorg.conf present in your /etc/X11 as well - if so rename it
[20:03] <drmagoo> daftykins: I cheated and did a modprobe of the kernel driver and just restarted xorg...looks ok now, will reboot it and see if the problem occues again. Thank you very much for the help!
[20:04] <daftykins> drmagoo: no problem, hope it behaves better for you :)
[20:05] <drmagoo> daftykins: will be back here in 5 mins begging for your help if it doesnt ;)
[20:05] <daftykins> haha
[20:07] <Sheraf> Hi, is there an option to tell an usb stick to "don't look for the hard drive"?
[20:08] <Sheraf> because my hard drive is dead and it just take forever to boot the live env, because of thousands of I/O error
[20:08] <pbx> Sheraf, that's something you configure in UEFI/BIOS
[20:08] <onr> what does that even mean, Sheraf
[20:09] <jzvi12> whats your opinion on this: https://www.crowdsupply.com/inverse-path/usb-armory#products-top
[20:09] <Sheraf> pbx: i can't find any related option in the BIOS
[20:09] <daftykins> Sheraf: unplug it?
[20:10] <Sheraf> daftykins: right... it's a netbook and not even mine, i don't really want to open it
[20:10] <Sheraf> just gonna end up breaking it
[20:10] <Sheraf> there is no direct access to the hard drive
[20:11] <daftykins> Sheraf: what is the goal then?
[20:11] <daftykins> what is your intention with this device?
[20:11] <Sheraf> us an usb stick or sd card as new hard drive
[20:11] <daftykins> then no, either remove it physically (after gaining permission) or enter the BIOS and try disabling it (unlikely to work)
[20:12] <Sheraf> the problem is when it's booting it's looking for hard drive, and that raise thousands of I/O error, i waited 30 minutes and it still didn't finish booting, just printing error in the tty
[20:12] <Gaming4JC> Hi guys. Anyone know a decent "diff" GUI. Preferably a text-editor with built-in diff for an easier workflow on patching.
[20:12] <daftykins> and they definitely referred to sda?
[20:12] <EriC^^> Sheraf: if it's using uefi you might be able to press esc and go to boot options and select usb uefi to boot it
[20:13] <daftykins> some old netbook would likely not be EFI
[20:13] <Sheraf> it's an old netbook, just has a phoenix bios
[20:13] <EriC^^> Sheraf: you should be able to select the boot order in the bios then
[20:14] <Sheraf> EriC^^: yeah, but still, when booting on the live usb, ubuntu is trying to check for hard drive, and that raise a bunch of error
[20:14] <EriC^^> oh
[20:14] <EriC^^> you can try passing a kernel parameter to ignore it or something, i don't remember it exactly though
[20:15] <Sheraf> that's what i'm looking for
[20:15] <Sheraf> an option at boot
[20:15] <drdanmaku> hi, my computer shut down during an invocation of apt-get and now any attempt to install packages gives me "dpkg: error: fgets gave an empty string from `/var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File'", is there some way to repair this file?
[20:15] <EriC^^> Sheraf: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/102648/how-to-tell-linux-kernel-3-0-to-completely-ignore-a-failing-disk
[20:15] <Sheraf> drdanmaku: try apt-get install -f ?
[20:16] <drdanmaku> Sheraf: that didn't seem to do anything, i still get that message
[20:17] <EriC^^> drdanmaku: type sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File
[20:17] <daftykins> Sheraf: still makes infinitely more sense to remove a faulty component.
[20:17] <EriC^^> and look for a line that's empty
[20:17] <drdanmaku> EriC^^: the file appears to be garbage, http://hastebin.com/cesequcexa.mel
[20:18] <jzvi12> sharing a goodie: https://www.crowdsupply.com/inverse-path/usb-armory#products-top
[20:18] <drdanmaku> from what i'm reading, packages install triggers to do things when events occur, is there some way to scan the installed packages and regenerate the triggers?
[20:18] <Sheraf> daftykins: i know thanks.. i'm not gonna risk to break the plastic, not mine.
[20:19] <daftykins> Sheraf: so ask, or give this task to someone more capable (with my respect)
[20:19] <dionysus69> hey guys, whats up with viber icon in ubuntu 15.04, no method works with it that I could find on google
[20:19] <dionysus69> can anyone suggest anything? its stuck in top left corner
[20:20] <daftykins> 'viber icon' - what does that mean? describe in full :)
[20:20] <Jordan_U> Sheraf: What is the exact kernel parameter you added and how? Please pastebin at least one of the error messages you're getting in dmesg.
[20:21] <drdanmaku> okay, i've just moved the /var/lib/dpkg/triggers/File somewhere else and created an empty one, but this seems like it's obviously going to cause problems later
[20:21] <dionysus69> daftykins: viber notification icon :)
[20:21] <dionysus69> it is supposed to be lets say next to wifi battery icons in indicator menu
[20:21] <daftykins> dionysus69: looks like a non-Linux program, so no idea
[20:21] <daftykins> if you're using wine, ask them
[20:22] <dionysus69> ye it is a non linux program, it might be using wine itself but I am not running it on wine it has debian executable
[20:22] <Sheraf> Jordan_U: i didn't add any kernel parameter, i don't have dmesg as i can't even boot, it's priting 100's of error per second i can't really tell what it says, but i know what a dead hard drive looks like
[20:22] <daftykins> dionysus69: 'debian executable' ?
[20:22] <daftykins> mmk
[20:22] <Sheraf> ata1.00 failed something ... (device error)
[20:23] <dionysus69> deb file i meant
[20:23] <Sheraf> ata1.00 error {ABRT}
[20:23] <Sheraf> things like that
[20:23] <daftykins> dionysus69: so a package, that doesn't really exclude wine usage
[20:23] <Sheraf> EriC^^: so i guess i would have to patch the kernel
[20:24] <dionysus69> daftykins: ye there is a chance it uses wine
[20:24] <Jordan_U> Sheraf: Ahh, so you haven't tried http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/102648/how-to-tell-linux-kernel-3-0-to-completely-ignore-a-failing-disk yet.
[20:24] <wendico> anyone using genymotion can pm me?
[20:24] <daftykins> dionysus69: check? :)
[20:24] <Jordan_U> Sheraf: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:24] <EriC^^> Sheraf: why don't you install ubuntu to a usb, as usual
[20:24] <dionysus69> there has been problem about its indicator icon before but it has been solved with several methods over different versions, i guess none work for this version
[20:24] <EriC^^> Sheraf: instead of a live usb or live usb with persistence
[20:24] <daftykins> EriC^^: i think any method is gonna sit there and try to probe the drives and fail miserably
[20:24] <dionysus69> daftykins: even if it uses wine how does that information help me solve the problem? :)
[20:25] <EriC^^> daftykins: i think he got it to work, but wants to patch the kernel or something
[20:25] <daftykins> dionysus69: it would lead you to consulting the wine folks on this issue which would be more relevant since it's not an ubuntu issue
[20:25] <daftykins> EriC^^: ah i see
[20:25] <daftykins> so basically a bunch of unnecessary work instead of just pulling the dead drive in the first place
[20:25] <daftykins> good times :)
[20:26] <EriC^^> yeah, that'd be best but he said it's his friend's, up to him i guess
[20:26] <dionysus69> oh well ok thanks anyway :)
[20:26] <Sheraf> i tried the  libata.force=2.00:disable
[20:27] <Sheraf> didn't work
[20:27] <Sheraf> its still checking for hard drive
[20:27] <Sheraf> 1.00*
[20:27] <EriC^^> i think you have to get the numbers right
[20:28] <Jordan_U> Sheraf: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:29] <Sheraf> nevermind, it's working
[20:32] <adrian_1908> hello, I just installed apache2 (for offline development only) and I need some help. I want to enable directory listings ("Option Indexes" I think?) but so far haven't been able to. Is someone well verse in this?
[20:33] <onr> adrian_1908: try #httpd
[20:33] <wastrel> it's probably a config option
[20:33] <adrian_1908> onr: I tried, no response so far.
[20:34] <geri_> hi does someone use ubuntu in virtual box??
[20:34] <bekks> geri_: People do.
[20:34] <pavlos> adrian_1908, https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DirectoryListings
[20:34] <Vespero> Hey, I had to purge and reinstall xserver-xorg earlier today and now I can't change my resolution or monitor setup
[20:34] <geri_> bekks: you again :)
[20:34] <bekks> geri_: Yeah. Different channel, same answer :P
[20:35] <onr> adrian_1908: PM Humbedooh
[20:35] <onr> he's a nice guy :P
[20:35] <adrian_1908> onr: Hehe ok, i'll try. thanks :)
[20:35] <onr> no problem
[20:36] <geri_> bekks: you dont use 3d in ubuntu linux... hm
[20:36] <adrian_1908> pavlos: I've gotten that far, but the issue remains. I'm just too new to this to figure out what the source of the error might be.
[20:36] <Vespero> Anyone have any experience with reinstalling xserver-xorg?
[20:36] <pavlos> adrian_1908, do you restart httpd after changes?
[20:36] <bekks> geri_: I do. But 3D in vbox doesnt magically make an emulated graphics device being a hardware device.
[20:36] <adrian_1908> pavlos: yes.
[20:37] <Vespero> hitting "detect displays" doesn't do anything
[20:37] <geri_> bekks: i understand
[20:37] <bekks> geri_: As you can see, same answer in a different channel.
[20:37] <adrian_1908> pavlos: I have a space in my directory though; i enclose the directory in " "
[20:38] <EriC^^> Vespero: try reinstalling xorg
[20:38] <pavlos> adrian_1908, you may have to escape it ... dont have httpd to test
[20:38] <Vespero> Eric^^ that's what caused the problem
[20:38] <adrian_1908> pavlos: I don't need to add anything but  Options Indexes  to the directory I modify, right? I mean, that would suffice to override the options for that directory?
[20:38] <EriC^^> Vespero: did you do an autoremove after puring xserver-xorg?
[20:38] <drmagoo> daftykins: Hey, everything seems to work. Only problem that remains is that it resets the refresh rate to 30hz, but is easy to fix each time. But it seems to be very stable now.Thank you again
[20:38] <EriC^^> *purging
[20:39] <pavlos> adrian_1908, not sure about ehat persm that dir should have ... I suspect +x so it can take a look in there
[20:40] <EriC^^> Vespero: it might be that some packages are missing, maybe check the logs and see what was removed
[20:40] <adrian_1908> pavlos: good point
[20:40] <Vespero> Eric^^ no, just apt-get autoremove --purge
[20:40] <Vespero> Eric^^ it fixed the problem I was having with my keyboard, though
[20:40] <EriC^^> Vespero: yeah that would cause the problem
[20:41] <EriC^^> Vespero: don't use autoremove in this case, as it would remove other packages that used to depend on xorg
[20:41] <EriC^^> check the logs and see what was removed and reinstall them
[20:41] <Vespero> EriC^^ where would I find said logs?
[20:41] <EriC^^> /var/log/apt/history.log
[20:43] <adrian_1908> pavlos: ls -l myDir gives "drwxrwxrwx" so that should be ok, right?
[20:43] <Vespero> EriC^^ thanks, I'll check it out
[20:44] <EriC^^> Vespero: ok, np
[20:44] <Humbedooh> onr: that's...cute
[20:44]  * onr hugs Humbedooh 
[20:45]  * Humbedooh doesn't generally engage in physical contact with 13 year olds...
[20:45] <lotuspsychje> keep it ontopic guys
[20:45] <ultragamecard> hey guys, does ubuntu need antivirus?
[20:46] <Jordan_U> !antivirus | ultragamecard
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> !info clamav | ultragamecard if you like one
[20:46] <pavlos> adrian_1908, that's 777, wide open to all, the dirs above usually have 775
[20:46] <ultragamecard> I have clamav
[20:46] <ultragamecard> it doesn't do realtime scanning
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> ultragamecard: clamav's database has very recent linux rootkits n such known
[20:47] <lotuspsychje> ultragamecard: you have to manual scan indeed
[20:47] <lotuspsychje> !info rkhunter | ultragamecard works pretty nice too
[20:49] <cdspindle> hi
[20:49] <k1l> rkhunter doesnt work like antivirus on windows
[20:49] <Vespero> EriC^^ It worked! Thanks for your help, this was the last step in fixing a problem I've had all day
[20:49] <EriC^^> Vespero: great! np
[20:49] <ultragamecard> my windows machine keeps getting infected
[20:49] <ultragamecard> I only use it for youtube
[20:49] <k1l> ultragamecard: the biggest security issue on linux is the user doing things like installing 3rd party stuff that is insecure. i would start to think about that.
[20:50] <ultragamecard> i know
[20:50] <k1l> ultragamecard: so you want to scan that windows system?
[20:50] <ultragamecard> it has avira
[20:50] <onr> Humbedooh: i missed the part when you stopped being nice to me.
[20:50] <ultragamecard> but that is too offtopic
[20:50] <ultragamecard> I'll go the #windows for that
[20:50] <ultragamecard> to*
[20:56] <ultragamecard> I'm assuming everyone here is running ubuntu
[20:56] <bekks> Thats a wrong assumption.
[20:56] <k1l> ultragamecard: not everyone. we dont scan your system on entry :)
[20:56] <ultragamecard> I'm sorry
[20:56] <almark> netbsd over here ;)
[20:57] <ultragamecard> just a guess
[20:57] <ultragamecard> it is #ubuntu
[20:59] <almark> practise what you preach
[20:59] <snout> i have os x/kali linux. ubuntu and kali are both debian derivs
[20:59] <ultragamecard> snout have you seen parrotsec?
[20:59] <snout> negative, what is it?
[20:59] <zamba> i want to run windows virtualized and headless on an ubuntu server.. which virtualization engine do you recommend?
[21:00] <zamba> vbox?
[21:00] <k1l> ultragamecard: snout for non ubuntu chat/support there is ##linux
[21:00] <almark> do you run linux on a apple box snout ?
[21:00] <ultragamecard> parrotsec has all the kali tools plus support for tor, i2p and it looks cooler
[21:00] <snout> i am also in ##linux. I have a bootstick but am running into problems during ginstall and install surrounding lack of PCI ethernet card.
[21:01] <snout> so sort of
[21:01] <snout> ultragamecard thanks for the tip. Going to check that out
[21:01] <dubaco_1> !libre
[21:01] <ultragamecard> you're welcome
[21:01] <dubaco_1> !libreoffice
[21:02] <freezzzzeee> What's up niggas ?
[21:02]  * Sarge123 off
[21:04] <snout> ultragamecard parrot looks slick
[21:05] <ultragamecard> i know right
[21:05] <snout> you run it?
[21:06] <ultragamecard> I have it on a live cd and in vbox
[21:06] <parsec2284> hi guys what does it mean booting in insecure mode
[21:06] <EriC^^> parsec2284: it means secure boot is turned off i guess
[21:06] <parsec2284> i feel like my ubuntu may have done something wrong
[21:06] <parsec2284> it is
[21:06] <ultragamecard> windows 8 has secure boot
[21:07] <snout> This message does not indicate a security problem with Ubuntu and does not interfere with the operation of the system except for introducing this boot delay. As a workaround to avoid this boot delay, users can enable SecureBoot if enabled on their hardware, or if they do not intend to use SecureBoot at all they can uninstall the shim-signed package and then rerun the grub-install command.
[21:07] <ultragamecard> copied that from wiki
[21:07] <snout> how many people landed on the askubuntu answer?
[21:07] <Jordan_U> parsec2284: Ubuntu supports UEFI Secure Boot, so you can re-enable it if you want to get rid of that message.
[21:07] <wastrel> does ubuntu have secure boot
[21:07] <ultragamecard> windows 8 secure boot is not secure
[21:08] <ultragamecard> it just makes it harder to liveboot
[21:08] <parsec2284> i thought secure boot /eufi in only for windows os
[21:08] <wastrel> why is it called that
[21:08] <ultragamecard> s
[21:08] <ultragamecard> they named it that so it won't sound stupid
[21:08] <snout> remeber in 1999 when windows had the variable name _NSAKEY
[21:08] <Jordan_U> parsec2284: No, Ubuntu and most other major GNU/Linux distributions support both UEFI and secure boot.
[21:09] <ultragamecard> "hey guys I invented a new way to make it hard to install linux distros on windows"
[21:09] <ultragamecard> secureboot logic
[21:10] <freeeezzzeeee> Sssupp niggas ??
[21:10] <k1l> ultragamecard: snout we focus on actual ubuntu support in here. for chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic of ##chat
[21:10] <systemd-estroyer> hows everyone
[21:10] <parsec2284> i notice that after burning flash drive with start up disk creator, and trying to boot the flash drive usig non eufi, secure boot off, after hitting the force boot button i got a com error
[21:10] <ultragamecard> we're not IT's but ok
[21:10] <snout> sorry k11, I was responding to windows secureboot being insecure. Tangetial, I know. Sorry
[21:11] <ubuntu86> ciao a tutti
[21:11] <parsec2284> i thought at first ubuntu was a poor os thne i thought the flash drive was broken then i relize i need to turn on eufi
[21:11] <parsec2284> do all linux os work in eufimode
[21:11] <ubuntu86> italian people
[21:11] <ubuntu86> please
[21:12] <Jordan_U> !it | ubuntu86
[21:12] <parsec2284> or just ubuntu
[21:12] <ubuntu86> ciao jordan
[21:12] <ubuntu86> sono nuovo
[21:12] <ubuntu86> con ubuntu
[21:12] <BrunoPT> parsec2284: I have arch in uefi mode
[21:12] <k1l> ubuntu86: see the bots message in italian.
[21:12] <Jordan_U> parsec2284: Most of the major distributions do, but this channel is only for Ubuntu. For other distributions please ask in their channels or in ##Linux.
[21:12] <BrunoPT> parsec2284: so all linux os should work
[21:12] <parsec2284> i like ubuntu
[21:12] <parsec2284> i like lubuntu
[21:13] <parsec2284> actually
[21:13] <parsec2284> very very stable
[21:13] <edisto> I tried to install cuda 7 1410 drivers on my 1504 system and now I can't even get the login screen to crash. I can't hit ctrl + alt + f2 to login via terminal and reinstall my drivers
[21:13] <edisto> how do you force your screen to crash if it just keeps glitching
[21:13] <shudon> you can't get the login screen to... crash?
[21:13] <shudon> oh... do you mean, kill it?
[21:13] <parsec2284> i think xfce is TE most stable linux distro i ever tried
[21:14] <parsec2284> it worked out of the box for me
[21:14] <edisto> yeah normally it just crashes after a few glitches but it won't this time and I can't get pass the glitching screen
[21:14] <shudon> there's an xcfe distro?
[21:14] <parsec2284> lubuntu
[21:14]  * tgm4883 slaps forehead
[21:14] <parsec2284> i have a pretty modern pc i74770 16 ggis of ram
[21:14] <bekks> shudon: xubuntu
[21:14] <shudon> edisto: can you reboot?
[21:14] <shudon> bekks: ahh
[21:15] <edisto> yeah I rebooted into windows lol
[21:15] <genii> xubuntu has xfce, lubuntu has lxde :)
[21:15] <almark> 16GB ram :)
[21:15] <parsec2284> xubuntu on modern ssytems is so incredibly fast and stable
[21:15] <ultragamecard> thats too many
[21:15] <shudon> edisto: at the grub menu, boot into single user mode, and do your update from there. bad drivers are a pain in any OS.
[21:15] <almark> my old netbook runs xubuntu nicely
[21:15] <almark> it's from 2007
[21:16] <k1l> parsec2284: we try to focus on solving issues in here :)  if you want to chat please join #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[21:16] <parsec2284> but lubuntu rocks on modern systems too
[21:16] <parsec2284> ohh ok
[21:16] <parsec2284> well then
[21:16] <parsec2284> i have more questions to ask
[21:16] <shudon> >running xcfe with 16GB RAM
[21:17] <parsec2284> why whne i burn a flash drive, must it be run in eufi
[21:17] <parsec2284> to install
[21:17] <jzvi12> openfiler or freenas
[21:17] <parsec2284> i know it works
[21:17] <edisto> shudon: thanks
[21:17] <parsec2284> im not sure why
[21:17] <shudon> edisto: np
[21:17] <k1l> parsec2284: that depends on the mainboard and bios.
[21:17] <parsec2284> i though linux fights eufi
[21:17] <edisto> ubuntugnome is the nicest i've seen though and its super stable
[21:17] <parsec2284> i have a pretty modern asus
[21:18] <k1l> parsec2284: you can enable "legacy mode" in some bios so you can install linux as it was in the old days without efi
[21:18] <k1l> parsec2284: linux cant fight uefi. its the hardware manufacturer who go the microsoft way.
[21:19] <parsec2284> but that said, is it true that some modern bios need and is mandatory to run os in eufi
[21:19] <parsec2284> as well as secure boot
[21:19] <k1l> parsec2284: that depends on the actual machine and if the bios got settings to disable secureboot and uefi
[21:19] <parsec2284> but at least i understand what the problem was
[21:20] <parsec2284> yes
[21:20] <shudon> does xbox one have uefi?
[21:20] <parsec2284> i disabled both secure boot
[21:20] <shudon> if it does, it probably can't be disabled, and requires secure boot
[21:20] <parsec2284> and was eufi
[21:20] <tgm4883> lets not confuse secureboot and uefi now
[21:20] <parsec2284> with eufi off os wont install
[21:20] <parsec2284> com error
[21:20] <parsec2284> must have eufi on and with secure boot off, i get the boot message insuecure mode
[21:21] <tgm4883> parsec2284: so leave uefi on?
[21:21] <parsec2284> so i guess i must have eufi on and seecure boot to run os
[21:21] <parsec2284> yes
[21:21] <parsec2284> and secure boot
[21:21] <tgm4883> parsec2284: ok, then what is the problem?
[21:21] <parsec2284> but what im saying is, linux articles say to turn them off
[21:22] <parsec2284> oh no problem
[21:22] <parsec2284> im just conversing
[21:22] <tgm4883> parsec2284: not all of them do, and the ones that do are either old or misinformed
[21:22] <tgm4883> parsec2284: conversing is for another channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:22] <parsec2284> oh ok
[21:22] <k1l> parsec2284: lets stop conversating in here. we try to keep this channel clear for people with issues
[21:22] <tgm4883> this channel is for support
[21:22] <parsec2284> sory about will do
[21:22] <parsec2284> made clear
[21:31] <ultragamecard> look how many people come to irc when they need support for ubuntu!
[21:33] <Gh0st-> keep getting these errors
[21:33] <Cupric> Hey I'm having trouble configureing vsftpd on 14.04. I get an error that I can't change directories when trying to connect
[21:34] <Gh0st-> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[21:34] <Gh0st-> N: Ignoring file 'mongodb.listecho' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
[21:34] <londoncalling> Gh0st- did you try apt-get -f install'?
[21:34] <Gh0st-> londoncalling: yes I did
[21:34] <Gh0st-> same thing came up again
[21:34] <londoncalling> Gh0st- umm, not an expert, but perhaps remove the slash at the end?
[21:35] <londoncalling> that should return the same error but I'm just ruling it out
[21:35] <Gh0st-> from?
[21:35] <k1l> Gh0st-: did you try to add a PPA recently or did something in that context?
[21:35] <Gh0st-> k1l: not sure what I did
[21:36] <Gh0st-> but yeah I tried to install ircanywhere
[21:36] <Gh0st-> 'mongo
[21:36] <k1l> Gh0st-: well, you have a misconfigured PPA. so can you show the howto you followed?
[21:37] <Gh0st-> silly
[21:37] <Gh0st-> me
[21:37] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: mongodb.listecho should be just mongodb.list
[21:37] <Gh0st-> just triend -f install
[21:37] <Gh0st-> seems to be working
[21:38] <k1l> yeah, so i want to see where he went wrong
[21:38] <MonkeyDust> Gh0st-  I picked this up in this channel, save it as a text file, make it executable and then execute it  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11574591/
[21:39] <Gh0st-> MonkeyDust: thanks
[21:39] <k1l> MonkeyDust: that will not help. he got a misconfigured ppa there
[21:39] <MonkeyDust> Gh0st-  ah, missed that part, i was was away
[21:39] <Gh0st-> N: Ignoring file 'mongodb.listecho' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
[21:39] <Gh0st-> still getting the same thing
[21:39] <k1l> Gh0st-: so what howto you were following?
[21:39] <Gh0st-> :/
[21:39]  * tgm4883 sigh
[21:40] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: mongodb.listecho should be just mongodb.list
[21:40]  * Gh0st- is a newbie
[21:40] <k1l> Gh0st-: that is what i told you. please answer my questions
[21:40] <tgm4883> you need to rename that ifile
[21:40] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: how can I change it
[21:40] <Gh0st-> k1l: dont know
[21:40] <Gh0st-> :/
[21:40] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: how?
[21:40] <Gh0st-> :/
[21:40] <willief> Is this the best place for install issues for 15.04?
[21:40] <tgm4883> cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[21:40] <k1l> willief: just ask and people will try to help
[21:40] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: then mv the file
[21:40] <willief> tyvm
[21:40] <acz32> Gh0st-: how can you not know what howto you followed? you obviously don't know enough to do this all on your own
[21:41] <Gh0st-> mongodb.list  mongodb.listecho
[21:41] <Gh0st-> should I rm one?
[21:41] <Gh0st-> acz32: yeah true that
[21:41] <Gh0st-> :/
[21:41] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: you have both?
[21:41] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: yeah
[21:41] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: are their contents the same?
[21:41] <Gh0st-> :/
[21:41] <Gh0st-> not sure
[21:42] <Gh0st-> let me check through nano
[21:42] <tgm4883> yea do that
[21:42] <gzcwnk> I am trying to install bacula-server and it should have asked me some setup Q's but didnt, running dpkg-reconfigure -plow didnt trigger it either any ideas how I get it to run properly?
[21:42] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: yup exactly the same
[21:42] <Hobbyboy> When a release of Ubuntu goes out of support, what happens to its documentation?
[21:42] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: then remove the listecho one
[21:42] <Gh0st-> ok
[21:42] <Gh0st-> donr
[21:42] <Gh0st-> done
[21:42] <Gh0st-> now?
[21:43] <tgm4883> Now you shouldn't get that error anymore
[21:43] <Gh0st-> ok
[21:44] <MonkeyDust> Hobbyboy  it's still available here (e.g. 10.04)  http://ubuntu-manual.org/downloads
[21:44] <willief> i boot from a USB stick with 15.04 64bit .iso. I want to install to my new SSD but the installer insists it is already mounted as /cdrom.  I cannor umount /cdrom or /dev/sdb evn with the -f switch , fuser just tells me root@ubuntu:/# fuser -vm /dev/sdb                      USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/sdb:            root     kernel mount /cdrom - any ideas? I want to have a 512Mb ext2 for root 40GB for / and the rest as swap 
[21:44] <Jordan_U> Hobbyboy: Why do you ask?
[21:45] <Gh0st-> continueing with IRCANYWHERE installation
[21:45] <daftykins> willief: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[21:45] <daftykins> then share the link
[21:45] <willief> daftykins: ok - cheers
[21:45] <Hobbyboy> I still use Ubuntu 10.04 for certain purposes, due to them being broken in newer versions of Ubuntu
[21:45] <k1l> willief: sdb will be the live usb in most cases. so are you sure you want to umount that?
[21:46] <bekks> Hobbyboy: 10.04 is EOL, entirely.
[21:46] <daftykins> Hobbyboy: that's a very bad move :)
[21:46] <k1l> Hobbyboy: 10.04 is EOL. so dont expect people or ubuntu to support it.
[21:46] <daftykins> i hope that system is not online
[21:47] <Hobbyboy> I know its EOL, I was just wondering where the documentation went after versions go EOL
[21:47] <willief> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11574663/
[21:47] <willief> I have a few HDDs :-)
[21:47] <willief> my SSD is /dev/sdb
[21:47] <bekks> Hobbyboy: Maybe its archived, maybe its just removed.
[21:47] <Hobbyboy> and I'm running it in a Virtual Machine with a firewalled connection, so the outside world doesn't have access
[21:48] <Jordan_U> Hobbyboy: What specifically doesn't work for you in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[21:48] <Hobbyboy> Rosegarden with Midi
[21:48] <Hobbyboy> its broken in 12.04 as well
[21:49] <daftykins> willief: ok looking now, if you type my nickname first i can see highlights :)
[21:49] <gzcwnk> I am trying to install bacula-server and it should have asked me some setup Q's but didnt, running dpkg-reconfigure -plow didnt trigger it either any ideas how I get it to run properly?
[21:49] <Jordan_U> Hobbyboy: What happens when you try to use Rosegarden in Ubuntu 14.04?
[21:50] <Hobbyboy> I don't get any sound with Timidity, and distorted sound with QSynth
[21:50] <willief> daftykins: thank you
[21:50] <daftykins> willief: err are you sure? sdb looks like someone has written a 535MB ISO to it? :)
[21:50] <daftykins> willief: did you perhaps use 'dd' to make up a bootable drive but picked the wrong device?
[21:51] <daftykins> you can't run ubuntu from the same drive you want to install to
[21:51] <Gh0st-> ./install.sh: line 4: node: command not found
[21:52] <Gh0st-> can't go any furhter
[21:52] <Gh0st-> further*
[21:52] <k1l> Gh0st-: see what depencies that software names in the howto or readme and make sure that are installed already
[21:52] <willief> daftykins:  that is confusing me too - let me reboot with my 4GB live USB (which I did make with dd BTW) out and then insert it so I def know what it is mounted as
[21:52] <Gh0st-> k1l: ok
[21:53] <willief> Yes I know you cant install to the the USB stick you booted from
[21:53] <daftykins> willief: you could also just "mount | pastebinit"
[21:53] <willief> I learned that a while back :-)
[21:53] <k1l> willief: i think your mixed usb drive and ssd somehow
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> Hobbyboy  if you're a compozer or musician, consider using Ubuntu Studio, it has its own support channel
[21:54] <Jordan_U> Hobbyboy: I'm seeing multiple reports of timidity working in Ubuntu 14.04 online. I'm wondering if it's a hardware specific issue, or maybe one specific to how you're invoking timidity. Are all of your tests being performed in a Virtualbox VM (so they have the same "hardware")?
[21:54] <willief> daftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11574718/
[21:54] <Hobbyboy> All of my tests are in Virtualbox
[21:54] <Hobbyboy> Timidity plays fine on its own, but doesn't in rosegarden
[21:55] <daftykins> willief: yeah your sdb is mounted as /cdrom because i think whichever OS you put on is on your SSD :) i also don't see your 4GB flash drive in your first pastebin
[21:55] <Hobbyboy> and if i use the fluidsynth plugin with vlc, it also plays fine
[21:55] <willief> well the system sees it cos for now Im running it as @try Ubuntu@
[21:56] <k1l> willief: when using dd better double check what the output of dd goes to and if that is the target you want to go it to :)
[21:56] <Gh0st->  connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:146 / exception: connect failed
[21:56] <willief> with a US keybd
[21:56] <willief> k1l:  yeah - been bitten with dd before - I always double check
[21:57] <daftykins> willief: but i don't see a 4GB device in the first pastebinit :D
[21:58] <tgm4883> +1 to daftykins I think he dd'd to the wrong device
[21:58] <willief>     daftykins  OK going to reboot from an old install of the HDDs and then see if I can reformat the SSD from there
[21:58] <daftykins> willief: you seem to have a lot of other disks with LVM or mdadm RAID on too, i think if it were me i would disconnect _all_ drives except for the SSD and the 4GB flash drive once it has had the ISO loaded
[21:58] <daftykins> willief: yeah just dd 50MB of zeroes onto it, then remake your flash drive then you should be golden :)
[21:59] <Jordan_U> Hobbyboy: Try again using Ubuntu Studio 14.04 LTS, and if you can reproduce the problem there please ask in #ubuntustudio (and file a bug report if one hasn't already been filed).
[21:59] <Hobbyboy> ok
[21:59] <willief> daftykins: yes I want to mount /home /usr/local /projects /opt etc from my existing LVMs later when I get 15.04 on
[22:00] <willief> daftykins:  but I'll power down and disconnect the other HDDS for now and try to install there and mount the other drivees later
[22:00] <daftykins> willief: sounds like a plan :)
[22:01] <willief>  back soon :-)
[22:01] <Gh0st-> Error: couldn't connect to server
[22:01] <Gh0st-> what shoudl I put in here
[22:01] <Gh0st-> reason: errno:111 Connection refused
[22:02] <daftykins> pasting errors without context usually doesn't get you too far
[22:02] <Gh0st-> MongoDB shell version: 2.6.10
[22:02] <Gh0st-> connecting to: test
[22:03] <daftykins> Gh0st-: yeah you're still just pasting stuff randomly
[22:04] <Gh0st-> :/
[22:04] <tgm4883> !context
[22:04] <Gh0st-> daftykins: what should I paste then
[22:04] <daftykins> phrase a question
[22:04] <tgm4883> !details
[22:04] <Gh0st-> trying to set up Mondodb
[22:04] <daftykins> "i am trying to x, i have done y, but i expected z"
[22:04] <Gh0st-> :/
[22:04] <Gh0st-> does that help?
[22:05] <daftykins> you gave us one third of my example
[22:05] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: no. Do what daftykins said. "I'm trying to set up mondodb, I'm at step X of this guide <LINK HERE>, but I'm getting this error"
[22:07] <Gh0st-> dont know how can I explain really
[22:07] <Gh0st-> getting the error of connection refused whilst running mondo
[22:07] <Gh0st-> mongo*
[22:08] <daftykins> ok so perhaps the service hasn't started ?
[22:08] <daftykins> if you just installed it
[22:08] <Gh0st-> Yeah
[22:08] <Gh0st-> it is not starting
[22:08] <daftykins> what error does it give?
[22:08] <Gh0st-> connection attempt failed at src/mongo/shell/mongo.js:146
[22:08] <daftykins> i'm assuming you tried "sudo service mongodb start"
[22:08] <Gh0st-> no
[22:08] <daftykins> ok try that
[22:08] <Gh0st-> ok
[22:09] <k1l> Gh0st-: what howto are you following? that must be the worst howto ever
[22:09] <Gh0st-> mongodb: unrecognized service
[22:10] <Gh0st-> same error again warning: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1:2701, reason: errno:111 Connection refused
[22:10] <daftykins> try "sudo service mongod start"
[22:10] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: yes, what guide are you following? The official ircanywhere install docs?
[22:11] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: yes
[22:11] <Gh0st-> not helpinh
[22:11] <Gh0st-> :(
[22:11] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: are you doing the manual install or the automatic install?
[22:14] <daftykins> i sense a manual non-package install was performed
[22:14] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: I think manual
[22:14] <Gh0st-> how can I do automatic
[22:14] <Gh0st-> :/
[22:14] <tgm4883> daftykins: there isn't a package install
[22:15] <tgm4883> http://docs.ircanywhere.com/en/latest/
[22:15] <daftykins> no? ah ok explains that then :D
[22:15] <tgm4883> those are the install docs
[22:15] <socialevil> hi guys i have a question. when i start downloading something from the internet, my browser stops loading pages.. or it does it really slow. its like all the connection goes for the download and none for the browser.. is there some setting or something like that, so that i can make my browser load pages fast as usual even if i am downloading something ?
[22:15] <daftykins> never used mongo in my life
[22:15] <tgm4883> the "automatic" install is an install script
[22:15] <bekks> tgm4883: There a PPA at least, linked on the official mongodb site.
[22:15] <daftykins> socialevil: let me guess, ubuntu on a laptop with a wifi card you had trouble getting going at first install?
[22:16] <socialevil> daftykins, ubuntu on a laptop with usb stick ( i had no problems getting going at all )
[22:16] <tgm4883> bekks: sorry, I was talking about his larger issue of installing ircanywhere. There likely is mongodb packages available for install, but first we should figure out what he's following and how he tried to install it
[22:17] <Gh0st-> $ ./install.sh
[22:17] <daftykins> socialevil: so it's not even installed?
[22:17] <Gh0st-> where I can get the install scrit
[22:17] <Gh0st-> script
[22:18] <socialevil> daftykins, well.. i haven't installed anything.. i just put the usb stick in the usb, and in a couple of seconds i get my network, i click connect and there you go :)
[22:18] <daftykins> socialevil: so what are you downloading in a live session?
[22:19] <daftykins> 'cause there'd not really be anywhere for it to go unless you mounted a local disk
[22:19] <tgm4883> wow, these install docs are kinda bad
[22:19] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: I'd assume it's the one listed here https://github.com/ircanywhere/ircanywhere
[22:20] <socialevil> daftykins, netbeans, jdk or even torrents.. whatever it is.. when i download something.. my browsing is interrupted
[22:21] <k1l> Gh0st-: if you had answered my questions before it would have been clear what you need because its named in "Pre-requisites"
[22:21] <daftykins> socialevil: is this a persistent install?
[22:21] <daftykins> on said flash drive
[22:22] <Gh0st-> k1l: sorry dude
[22:22] <socialevil> daftykins, i dont know what persistent install means
[22:22] <daftykins> socialevil: well essentially, if you're saying you're installing software... you're going to run out of space and it'll all be gone after you restart...
[22:22] <daftykins> so doing anything in a live session without a persistence file is pointless
[22:23] <Gh0st-> how would I use ./install.sh
[22:23] <socialevil> no no, its a installed system and all..
[22:24] <Gh0st-> k1l: how would I use install.sh
[22:24] <daftykins> ...to a flash drive?
[22:24] <daftykins> you really don't want to run from a flash drive
[22:25] <socialevil> daftykins, i do have windows and ubuntu on my laptop.. actually the problem occurs on both systems ( i dont know if thats of any significance ) but because i use ubuntu all the time.. i asked here
[22:25] <k1l> Gh0st-: is nom and node installed?
[22:26] <daftykins> socialevil: wow, is there any further detail you can give that'd make this easier?
[22:26] <k1l> *npm
[22:26] <Gh0st-> yes
[22:26] <tgm4883> Gh0st-: honestly, this seems a bit above you. Are you sure you want to be running ircanywhere? This this machine going to be internet accessible?
[22:26] <Gh0st-> tgm4883: it's a VPS
[22:26] <socialevil> daftykins, i think there is misunderstanding .. my internet comes from an usb flash drive.. not my ubuntu
[22:26] <tgm4883> so then yes...
[22:26] <k1l> Gh0st-: go to the ircanywhere folder
[22:26] <Gh0st-> k1l: yes
[22:26] <Gh0st-> ok
[22:27] <daftykins> socialevil: aaaaaah so it's NOT a flash drive, it's a mobile broadband/cellular data *DONGLE* ?
[22:27] <Gh0st-> k1l: ./install.sh: line 4: node: command not found
[22:27] <socialevil> daftykins, sorry for the .. confusion .. i dont know what it is.. i see a usb stick and internet :D :D :D
[22:27] <k1l> Gh0st-: so is nodejs installed or not?
[22:27] <daftykins> oy vey
[22:27] <daftykins> praise be to Tux for the clarification
[22:28] <tgm4883> k1l: a quick looks at the docs, they are kinda bad I think
[22:28] <daftykins> socialevil: where in the world are you? does this dongle have any markings on it like brand name? what provider does it come from?
[22:28] <k1l> Gh0st-: the errormessage says its not. but you just answered me it is installed. so one of you both is lying
[22:28] <Gh0st-> lol
[22:28] <Gh0st-> sorry
[22:28] <Gh0st-> not lying
[22:28] <Gh0st-> didnt know
[22:28] <Gh0st-> now it is
[22:28] <socialevil> daftykins, i am in austria, its from drei (thats means - three) provider
[22:29] <Gh0st-> k1l: now nothing is happening
[22:29] <k1l> Gh0st-: read the howto you are following.
[22:30] <daftykins> socialevil: so the fact it happens in Windows too shows it's not an issue that can be fixed in the OS - it's just the nature of mobile data setups, they can't handle more than one thing at once when the signal is poor
[22:30] <daftykins> socialevil: are you in a city centre?
[22:30] <k1l> Gh0st-: with more reading and not taht much "flying over the text and blindly copying the commands" you could be done already
[22:30] <Gh0st-> :/
[22:30] <Gh0st-> true
[22:30] <Gh0st-> well nothing is happening now
[22:31] <ubuntu-mate> hola
[22:31] <k1l> Gh0st-: if its done with no errors that means: everything worked, no errors
[22:31] <socialevil> daftykins, i am like in the center of the center.. but my signal strength is like 40-50 % all the time. but i need to tell you that when i am elsewhere, and the signal strength is 70%, the download speed is higher, but the browsing problem persist
[22:31] <ubuntu-mate> espa;ol_
[22:31] <k1l> Gh0st-: read the howto!
[22:31] <k1l> !es | ubuntu-mate
[22:31] <daftykins> socialevil: yeah so like i say, it can't handle more than one task at once
[22:32] <daftykins> socialevil: or perhaps there is a firmware update available for this device, if you can read a make and model from it
[22:32] <ubuntu-mate> zx
[22:32] <ubuntu-mate> szumsky
[22:33] <Gh0st-> npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"
[22:34] <socialevil> daftykins, ok.. so its from the usb stick or.. mobile broadband dongle .. as you said.. i guess these things dont have settings or something ? i can look for the usb model name
[22:34] <daftykins> socialevil: yeah my first guess would be that it's a Huawei stick
[22:34] <daftykins> socialevil: i'm glancing at www.drei.at right now
[22:35] <socialevil> daftykins, right :) it was like.. huawei e35.x.x something
[22:35] <Gh0st-> Starting ircanywhere daemon...
[22:35] <Gh0st-> ircanywhere daemon stopped.
[22:35] <Gh0st-> is that normal?
[22:35] <daftykins> socialevil: i see a few models here with downloads - https://www.drei.at/portal/de/bottomnavi/kontakt-und-hilfe/technischer-support/servicedownloads/
[22:36] <k1l> Gh0st-: sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
[22:37] <Gh0st-> k1l: done
[22:37] <tsimonq2> There is an Ubuntu Google+ Community! https://plus.google.com/communities/107299007624972266094
[22:37] <Gh0st-> k1l: demon is stopping?
[22:37] <Gh0st-> :/
[22:37] <Gh0st-> daemon
[22:37] <daftykins> tsimonq2: that's more relevant to speak about in #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps #ubuntu-discuss
[22:37] <socialevil> daftykins, its this one https://www.drei.at/portal/de/privat/handys-und-geraete/alle-geraete/geraetedetails/huawei-e3531.html
[22:38] <tsimonq2> daftykins, Sorry! :)
[22:38] <k1l> Gh0st-: see why it stopped. see if it got a log. see if you configured the stuff how it is needed
[22:38] <k1l> Gh0st-: for more support ask the ircanywhere guys
[22:41] <redemptionsong> Is there any way to retrieve my mysql username. I don't care about the password (which I hear can not be obtained - thank God) I need the username alone (not by guessing but vai actual, concrete data printed to my command line). Can it be done?
[22:41] <daftykins> socialevil: can you get version numbers from the software in Windows?
[22:42] <socialevil> daftykins, well i have to reboot.. can you wait couple of minutes
[22:42] <daftykins> sure
[22:42] <socialevil> brb
[22:44] <Gh0st-> well this is useless
[22:44] <Gh0st-> I am leaving
[22:45] <ivancp> Greetings from Peru
[22:45] <daftykins> hi
[22:45] <socialevil> daftykins: what was that you need again ?
[22:45]  * gzcwnk waves goodbye
[22:45] <daftykins> socialevil: you should have some kind of software utility for the Huawei, does it list a software version?
[22:46] <socialevil> daftykins: 3InternetManager Version 3.1.0.169
[22:46] <daftykins> socialevil: any information page about the Huawei device?
[22:46] <socialevil> daftykins: i need to check all the info/settings .. give me a sec
[22:47] <daftykins> sure
[22:47] <daftykins> it appears to be called 'Mobile Partner' if that's of any help (the Windows utility)
[22:49] <socialevil> daftykins: well there is a status report with general information , active modem information, sim, network status, network settings, computer information , internet applications , with some kind of information about modem driver version , hardware version, authentication protocols and so on .. but there is no webpage pointing to some info about the huawei device
[22:49] <daftykins> socialevil: what is the driver and hardware version?
[22:50] <socialevil> Modem driver version 2.6.2.3143  Driver package version 5.01.5.0
[22:50] <socialevil> Hardware version CH1E3531SM"
[22:52] <daftykins> socialevil: hrmm ok i was hoping to find newer software on the hauwei website, but i think when a device is specific to your telecom provider (Drei) then it must be supported by them. I would call them / go into a store and ask if they can give you a newer device / or update the software to try that.
[22:52] <daftykins> socialevil: beyond that, i don't think there are many options
[22:53] <daftykins> it's just the nature of mobile data devices to be good for one task at a time :)
[22:54] <socialevil> i see daftykins so.. basically this problem is because of the device.. fair enough :) at least now i know its not some stupid check option i've missed :) and its more troublesome
[22:54] <socialevil> daftykins: thank you for the time and help :)
[22:54] <daftykins> socialevil: yeah i think so, i'm sure the company would have a good idea
[22:54] <daftykins> no problem :)
[22:55] <socialevil> cheers :)
[23:00] <guest8574> Ugh... I just extracted a tar archive, and it busted its load of files all over my directory instead of creating a directory like most archives do. Is there a way to "undo" a tar extract?
[23:01] <OerHeks> guest8574, no, just look at the dates of files and folders to get a clue
[23:01] <al8989> hello i am having trouble viewing windows shares on kubuntu when i click network and than workgroup it showsa list of my windows computers but when i choose one it shows no files or folders and says server timeout any suggestions?
[23:02] <wastrel> guest8574: you can do tar t to list files in the tar
[23:02] <allegorical> hi is ther a way to simply rip mp3 off a cd like in two lines: sudo apt-get install foo; run foo on CD with target Drive; ? or something? thx
[23:03] <daftykins> al8989: what's the task, one-time file browse?
[23:03] <wastrel> guest8574: tar tf file.tar
[23:03] <al8989> noaccess files stored there regularly
[23:03] <guest8574> Thanks. It would be great if there was a tar switch that would create a new directory to hold the files if the extraction would produce more than one file.
[23:03] <daftykins> al8989: so you'd be better off with a mount huh?
[23:04] <al8989> maybe
[23:04] <al8989> but i can't even acess theem one time
[23:04] <daftykins> personally i would prefer, if forced to use a GUI file manager, to perhaps browse to it via entering smb://IP/sharename
[23:09] <lnb> want to install ubuntu 14.04 on raid 1. Sites all say when partitioning use as physical volume for raid. However there is no option to use as physical volume for raid  in the drop down list

[23:20] <zzar> hello there, I have a curious visual problem of some sort. sometimes part of browser page gets shaded, in different colors depending on the dominant color on the respective web page of the moment
[23:20] <psusi> lnb, don't make the mistake of thinking that raid is a substitute for backups... raid doesn't help if you delete or overwrite an important file, or if the filesystem just gets corrupted and such
[23:21] <Jon30> hey guys, i am trying to make mysql server accessible externally... right now iptables have this line: 1        0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  !lo    *       96.45.replaced.replaced        0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:3306
[23:21] <Jon30> is it currently blocking mysql from being acceesed externally?
[23:22] <psusi> Jon30, looks like it says accept, but why muck with iptables at all?
[23:22] <daftykins> Jon30: did you already reconfigure it to listen on your interface rather than on localhost only?
[23:23] <Jon30> psusi it's nice to have a firewall for security, no?
[23:23] <Jon30> daftykins what do you mean?
[23:23] <lnb> psusi: never did. my /data is backed up every night
[23:23] <psusi> Jon30, no... firewalls disable functionality that you otherwise enabled... if you didn't want that functionality then why enable it in the first place?  and if you don't want it, then just don't enable it in the first place... no reason to use iptables to do so
[23:24] <daftykins> Jon30: as default, mysql listens on loopback alone, or localhost - not your eth0
[23:24] <psusi> lnb, good... you also might want to consider using raid10 instead... with a large chunk size and the offset layout, you get the sequential read performance of raid0 with the redundancy of raid1
[23:25] <psusi> lnb, but you have to manually set up the raid using mdadm yourself instead of relying on the installer to do it for you
[23:25] <lnb> psusi: not on a office desktop. All our servers run raid-50+2/3 hot spares
[23:25] <Jon30> psusi: i need the firewall for other services besides mysql.
[23:25] <psusi> lnb, why not on a desktop?
[23:25] <psusi> I'm running it on mine
[23:25] <Jon30> daftykins: do you mean the bind-address within my.cfg?
[23:26] <lnb> psusi: not worth it
[23:26] <psusi> picked up 3 cheap wd 1tb blues last xmas and got system partition in raid10 and bulk data in raid5... system partition reads at ~500 mb/s
[23:26] <daftykins> Jon30: yeah
[23:26] <Jon30> daftykins: i set it to 0.0.0.0
[23:27] <psusi> Jon30, what services do you have installed, set to allow remote access, but don't actually want to be able to access remotely?
[23:27] <daftykins> and rule out iptables with "iptables -F" and "iptables -X" to flush all rules if security doesn't matter
[23:27] <daftykins> Jon30: ok so what i was getting at was "did you enable this" and the answer is "yes" :D
[23:27] <Jon30> yes!
[23:27] <daftykins> *facepalm*
[23:28] <Jon30> should i just remove the 1        0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  !lo    *       96.45.x.x        0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:3306  rule from iptables
[23:30] <psusi> Jon30, what I'm trying to say is that if you have a service that you only want to accept local connections, then you can just configure the service itself to do so rather than stick a firewall between the service and the network... so a firewall is pointless
[23:32] <Jon30> psusi: the firewall is for bunch of other things
[23:32] <psusi> Jon30, yea... and that "bunch of other things" you can just configure not to allow remote access instead of using a firewall to override the service configuration
[23:33] <wolfy1339> how do i fix that my network adapter isn't detected after the upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04
[23:34] <Jon30> i see psusi. but with iptables currently enabled, do i need to add anything in addition to the line i pasted above to allow external connections?
[23:37] <psusi> Jon30, you need to make sure that mysql is configured to accept remote connections.. i.e. it is listening on the network interface instead of loopback only
[23:38] <daftykins> psusi: i said that already and we had an entire to-and-fro confirming it ;)
[23:39] <Jon30> well i set the bind-address to 0.0.0.0 and not to the network interface ip
[23:39] <daftykins> Jon30: just flush the rules temporarily like i said, if you're on a trusted network
[23:39] <daftykins> well i'm assuming you've done your due diligence to check whether that's the procedure
[23:41] <marco_> how can i chnge the way my headphone is detected (trs / trrs)
[23:41] <Jon30> do i set the bind address to eth0's inet addr?
[23:43] <daftykins> Jon30: look it up
[23:44] <EADG> !offtopic
[23:46] <wolfy1339> how do i fix that my network adapter on my server isn't detected after the upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04? It worked before the upgrade to 15.04
[23:47] <daftykins> wolfy1339: identify which it is from 'lspci' first
[23:47] <daftykins> wolfy1339: also double check your system pulled in the corresponding -extra- kernel package along with the current working kernel
[23:48] <wolfy1339> it's an openvz server if that helps
[23:49] <daftykins> err
[23:49] <wolfy1339> lspci: command not found
[23:49] <daftykins> you probably shouldn't be updating such a VM
[23:49] <daftykins> or VPS
[23:51] <k1l> wolfy1339: talk to that hoster. that issue depends on the setup that openvz server and host was setup.

[23:54] <snkcld> how can i force unity to rescan all the desktop files?
[23:54] <EriC^^> why?
[23:54] <k1l> di_giorgio: please turn that script of for this channel
[23:54] <snkcld> EriC^^: me? becuase im experimenting with a .desktop file, and it cant find the icon
[23:55] <snkcld> so i just want to trigger the reloads more often
[23:55] <EriC^^> snkcld: in the dash you mean?
[23:55] <snkcld> yup
[23:55] <EriC^^> it should show up if you type it's name
[23:55] <EriC^^> Name= part
[23:55] <snkcld> well, actually, in bo th the dash and sidebar. the dash finds the icon, the sidebar uses the chrome icon still
[23:55] <Scott_S> Hey there! Does anyone here have any idea why postfix would be rejecting port 25 connections despite the fact it's listening on that port? It's fine from localhost, but anything outside of that is rejected. inet_interfaces it set to all, thoguh.
[23:56] <snkcld> it does, yes, however when i modify the file the change is not immediate
[23:56] <Guest99405> hello, does anyone know how to edit a GTK3 theme so that it is square/flat like Numix theme? any guides on the internet to do that? -thanks

[23:57] <daftykins> hrmm
[23:57] <daftykins> anything in its' logs complain about a config syntax typo perhaps?
[23:58] <daftykins> can't say i've ever run my own mail

[23:58] <Scott_S> Neither of those logs has any errors in it. Not mail.err or mail.log, unless those are the wrong log files.
