[00:00] <Ranger15> package
[00:00] <shaque_> Outputs: INFO: /dev/kvm exists KVM acceleration can be used
[00:00] <Ranger15> thats good
[00:00] <Ranger15> what do you get when you do lsmod
[00:00] <shaque_> now im just baffled why the vmx option is missin
[00:01] <Ranger15> kvm_intel             151552  0
[00:01] <Ranger15> kvm                   483328  1 kvm_intel
[00:01] <Ranger15> Something like the above in it?
[00:02] <shaque_> kvm, kvm_intel, vboxdrv, vboxpci, vmnet, and a bunch of other things (tried to pick vmware, virtualbox and kvm from the list)
[00:03] <shaque_> kvm_intel             151552  0
[00:03] <shaque_> kvm                   483328  1 kvm_intel
[00:03] <Ranger15> dam what the hell
[00:04] <shaque_> I read that some programs can "mask" procinfo, think it could be that?
[00:04] <Ranger15> did you check dmesg for any of those messages
[00:04] <shaque_> yea i did grep and manual search, no findings
[00:04] <Ranger15> Thats good
[00:04] <Fleet> why does /etc/apt/sources.list show different repositories than /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[00:04] <Fleet> ?
[00:05] <ki7rw>  /msg nickserv identify win98sux
[00:05] <Ben64> Fleet: sources.list are the ubuntu sources, sources.list.d contains user added repositories
[00:05] <shaque_> ki7rw id change your password lol..
[00:05] <ki7rw> yep
[00:06] <wastrel> kie4li#B
[00:06] <Fleet> Ben64: ah, thanks....so repositories listed in sources.list that didn't come with a fresh install were added via apt-get or similar?
[00:06] <shaque_> and what about win me and vista? :P
[00:06] <ki7rw> anyway, anyone know what tcp port 20829 is? i don't see it listed in the list of tcp ports
[00:06] <Ben64> Fleet: in sources.list.d they are added, like PPAs
[00:06] <wastrel> random high-number port
[00:06] <strtok> ki7rw: sure it's not a source port of something?
[00:07] <ki7rw> maybe
[00:07] <strtok> cq cq cq
[00:07] <Fleet> Ben64: I guess my confusion is that I see sources listed in sources.list that I know I added after Ubuntu was installed....but some others I see in sources.list.d
[00:07] <wastrel> ki7rw: netstat -an | grep 20829
[00:07] <ki7rw> i have skype running but i didn't think it would use that port
[00:07] <Fleet> perhaps it's the way they were added that makes the difference?
[00:07] <Ben64> Fleet: well if they're in sources.list, you added them in a weird way
[00:08] <Fleet> i.e. when they were installed they added their own repositories
[00:08] <ki7rw> tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:20829           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
[00:08] <wastrel> ki7rw: lsof -i :20829
[00:09] <daftykins> ki7rw: everything about 1024 is a non standard port as per IANA
[00:09] <ki7rw> it's skype
[00:09] <daftykins> no it's not allocated
[00:09] <ki7rw> wish i could remember all these commands
[00:09] <daftykins> just because a program uses a given port doesn't mean it's specific to that
[00:09] <daftykins> write some notes, that's how you learn
[00:09] <wastrel> yeah it picks a random free high-number port
[00:09] <wastrel> so next time you run skype it'll probz choose a different one
[00:10] <ki7rw> these commands aren't what i usually need - even if i write notes i'd probably lose them
[00:11] <daftykins> ki7rw: so learn not to, good lord
[00:11] <daftykins> we can't help you with paper management
[00:12] <shaque_> Ranger15 so.. now its in the freaking list..
[00:13] <Ranger15> shaque_ what did you do
[00:13] <shaque_> nothing lol
[00:13] <shaque_> just tried the command again
[00:14] <Ranger15> nice
[00:14] <shaque_> i wonder if modprob fixed it, or the package i had to install for that command did :s
[00:14] <Ranger15> modprobe might have
[00:14] <shaque_> what does modprobe do exactly?
[00:14]  * ki7rw has a password manager - now to look for a command word manager?
[00:15] <Ranger15> add modules
[00:15] <Ranger15> adds
[00:15] <shaque_> to the kernel? sorry this part of linux is new to me
[00:15] <mikubuntu> i'm so useless. i forgot how to format usb stick to fat 32. i somehow managed to delete everything on the 14.84 gb stick, so gparted is showing me the device as 14.84 gb unallocated. so that's where i'm at, can someone walk me through the formatting process please
[00:15] <Ranger15> wonder if it was there befor
[00:15] <Ranger15> e
[00:16] <Fleet> I think I understand now; thanks, Ben64 :-]
[00:16] <Guest76733> Hello all. I’m trying to run a mailserver with dovecot and messed a couple things up. I’d like to start completely fresh (without wiping the system, of course). I’ve tried (Ubuntu 14.04) apt-get remove dovecot-common dovecot-imapd to completely remove them. I ran “dpkg -l dovecot\*” and the output is reporting that some things are installed while some things are not. The things that are not installed are actually installed though. #dovecot says
[00:16] <Guest76733> this is a problem you all would be better able to help with. So how can I /completely/ remove dovecot and everything associated with it, then have it reinstall without thinking it has been before? Thank you
[00:17] <shaque_> how do I find out, by rebooting?
[00:17] <cowbacon> apt-get purge dovecot*
[00:17] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: gparted should be able to do that just fine, Partition > new ; or right click on the unallocated > new ; or it says 'Insert' works.
[00:18] <shaque_> Ranger15 will rebooting and using lsmod tell me if its there? and if not how do i enable it by default?
[00:19] <Ranger15> It should stay
[00:19] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: What distribution were you booted into when you added the custom.cfg? It needs to be added from whichever distribution is currently controlling the MBR, or if you are booted into another distribution you need to add the custom.cfg to the path boot/grub/custom.cfg on sda4. For example, you might run "sudo mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/; gksudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/custom.cfg" to create the file in the appropriate place ...
[00:19] <Jordan_U> ... (assuming your BIOS is configured to boot from sdb).
[00:19] <Guest76733> cowbacon: apt-get doesn’t seem to see anything relating to dovecot. But if I try to do an apt-get install it won’t install it since it thinks it is already
[00:21] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: ok, so i hit new, and now i have to manage the partition i guess. i'm going to load ubuntu live on it so i need to know 'free space preceding,' 'new size,' free space following, align to ___, create as ___, file sys (ext), and label values.
 What about apt-get autoremove ?
[00:21] <Ranger15> shaque_ But it would not hurt to try while we are working on it.

[00:22] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: what are you using to put the image on? file system to fat32 if you want fat32 on it.
[00:23] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: ok, set filesys to fat32, what about all the other values?
[00:25] <Guest76733> pnwise: That allowed me to reinstall it, but during the installation dovecot started spitting out warning that it wouldn’t replace files that I deleted (and are necessary for dovecot to function). How does it know I deleted them? Shouldn’t everything associated with dovecot be purged and installed as if it was the first time?
[00:26] <pnwise> To be honest I am not really sure, It just helped me couple of times
[00:26] <Guest76733> Okay. Thank you. This has been pretty frustrating now, I might just wipe the entire thing and start everything over
[00:26] <shaque_> alright give me a few mins n ill check it out
[00:28] <EriC^> Guest76733: you purged a package and reinstalled and then it said it won't replace anything you deleted before
[00:28] <EriC^> ?
[00:28] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: up to you with how much space you want to give it.  some tools may overwrite it anyway though.
[00:28] <kulelu88> Hi. Why am I getting this error: E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2 ??
[00:28] <EriC^> !info kulelu88
[00:28] <EriC^> lol
[00:28] <Guest76733> EriC^: yes that’s correct. It’s making configuration pretty painful and impossible
[00:29] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: i don't know what values to put on it
[00:29] <kulelu88> !info python-gtk2
[00:29] <EriC^> Guest76733: that sounds odd
[00:30] <Guest76733> Yeah. Something is really broken
[00:30] <kulelu88> Does anybody use docker here?
[00:30] <EriC^> Guest76733: can you type sudo apt-get purge <package>
[00:30] <Guest76733> I’ll do it now
[00:30] <Guest76733> Okay, did it.
[00:31] <EriC^> Guest76733: ok, can you type sudo apt-get install <package> and pastebin what you get?
[00:31] <EriC^> in paste.ubuntu.com?
[00:31] <Guest76733> Sure. Please give me 20 seconds
[00:31] <kulelu88> When trying to run a dockerfile, I get that error (E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2)...
[00:32] <Guest76733> EriC^: Woah! I swear I’ve done that at least five times already but now it’s acting completely differently when installing it. Please give me a minute to verify it’s still not broken
[00:33] <Guest76733> Just needed your magic words
[00:33] <EriC^> Guest76733: ok, cool :D
[00:34] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, I have no MBR on the disk that contains the encrypted partition to boot. It uses EFI, but the rest of my disks use MBR. What should I do? I tried the config file on every system.
[00:34] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: looks like this right now :: http://imagebin.ca/v/24FEOAfdYrV2
[00:35] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: that should be fine if you like
[00:35] <Guest76733> EriC^: Seems to have worked. Thank you so much, you just spared me hours of unnecessary work! :)
[00:35] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: What distribution are you currently booted into?
[00:35] <EriC^> Guest76733: great, no problem! :)
[00:36] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: i have no idea, that's why i'm here asking for help
[00:36] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: that's fine then, apply the changes
[00:36] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, Ubuntu
[00:37] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: with '1' free space preceding? and '0' free space following?
[00:38] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: I don't think there's anything you can do about the 1 preceding
[00:39] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: OK, and that is the distribution currently booted by default by your boot firmware?
[00:40] <stoiker2> yes.
[00:41] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Great. Please pastebin the output of "cat /boot/grub/custom.cfg".
[00:41] <Ranger15> shaque_ did you reboot?
[00:45] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/cwZKKMfv
[00:46] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: And when you boot, you don't see a menu entry titled "Load encrypted install's grub.cfg"? Did you make sure to scroll down all the way to the bottom?
[00:47] <shaque_> Ranger15 another 10 mins, waiting for 30 more pages to print first
[00:47] <stoiker2> Jordan_U,  I don't
[00:48] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Ahh, I see the problem.
[00:49] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: This should be the contents: http://paste.debian.net/205431/ , with the '{' on the same line as the menuentry command.
[00:49] <gshmu> `$ sudo update-grup` don't work, after i install new kernel 3.16.0-38
[00:49] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: My mistake.
[00:49] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: unetbootin not letting me proceed, says i must select a disk image (i thought i did) -- http://imagebin.ca/v/24FIx2aBOC66
[00:50] <Jordan_U> gshmu: What is the exact command you're running? Please pastebin its complete output. What problem are you having?
[00:50] <gshmu> it always boot at 3.16.0-31, I removed. I edit the grub,
[00:50] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, the placement of the brackets counts?
[00:50] <SchrodingersScat> mikubuntu: hit the button with the "..." to find the iso you want to load.
[00:51] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Unfortunately, yes.
[00:51] <stoiker2> okay; trying it
[00:52] <gshmu> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11600502/
[00:54] <Jordan_U> gshmu: You installed grub-legacy. Don't ever "sudo apt-get install grub", the "grub" package gets you grub legacy, when what you really want is grub2 (which comes with Ubuntu by default).
[00:54] <Jordan_U> gshmu: Assuming that you're using a BIOS based rather than UEFI based machine, "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" should fix the problem.
[00:55] <gshmu> Jordan_U: Thanks
[00:56] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, no dice. It says Press any key to continue. and it goes back to the selection screen.
[00:56] <ramsub07> hello, I want to kill a process. when i did, $ps -fa | grep "name" , i'm getting dozens of it. Is there any alternative to finding the PID and killing it ?
[00:57] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: What partition contains the /boot/ partition used with your encrypted install?
[00:58] <stoiker2> some other partition on the third disk
[00:59] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Please determine the UUID or device name of that partition.
[00:59] <stoiker2> and use that UUID instead of the encrypted disk UUID in the same code?
[01:00] <dave_> Hi, I'm kind of confused about java on ubuntu, When i type java -version in consolse it says  openjdk version "1.8.0_45-internal"
[01:00] <dave_> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-internal-b14)
[01:00] <dave_> OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
[01:00] <dave_>  but I just installed OPENJDK 7 from the software center and I'm trying to use openJDK 7 and don't see it in my programs
[01:01] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Yes, that UUID was never supposed to be the LUKS UUID, it is supposed to be the UUID of your (unencrypted) /boot/ partition (where your kernels for the encrypted installation are stored).
[01:01] <daftykins> !java | dave_
[01:01] <daftykins> dave_: look into 'update-alternatives'
[01:02] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, okay, I'll try it.
[01:02] <dave_> daftykins, thank you
[01:02] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Did you find out the appropriate UUID?
[01:03] <shaque> Ranger15 I have to go
[01:03] <shaque> but its there now!
[01:04] <shaque> upon reboot
[01:04] <shaque> so ty
[01:04] <shaque> i guess i just had to enable it? >.> i dunno the whole thing confuses me lol
[01:04] <shaque> anyway ty! cya and thank you so much!
[01:10] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, another step further! It got to the encrypted boot screen... sort of. It had no menu options and my hard drive light came on about every 5 seconds like it was looking for something.
[01:12] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Please pastebin your new menuentry.
[01:14] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/vXhaxLJD
[01:15] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: How is that different from what it was previously? You say you got a step further, but what did you change?
[01:16] <stoiker2> I changed the UUID
[01:16] <stoiker2> your second revision is basically what it is
[01:17] <carmen> hello xubunters
[01:18] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Why didn't you get the same result when I asked you to use my second revision then?
[01:19] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, I changed the UUID because I didn't realize the UUID you were using was the UUID of the sdb boot partition
[01:19] <stoiker2> I used the wrong UUID; you had it correct
[01:21] <mikubuntu> SchrodingersScat: so, i'm following the instructions on this page for installing to the hp mini -- https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ -- after i selected 'try ubuntu without installing' the screen went black, and it seems frozen up
[01:22] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Please follow directions exactly, or at least make it clear when you are modifying them. Troubleshooting is that much harder when I think you're doing one thing and you're actually doing another.
[01:22] <mikubuntu> no lights blinking
[01:22] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Can you be at the grub shell and on IRC (from a different machine) at the same time?
[01:23] <stoiker2> Jordan_U, I thought the UUID was your UUID and I had to modify it. Went ahead of myself.
[01:23] <stoiker2> Yes. I'll use stoiker 3
[01:24] <Grayman> Alright so I'm getting really frustrated and confused.  I can't seem to get 15.04 (or previous versions) of 64 bit Ubuntu to run on my desktop machine.  The issue is always wireless connectivity to my network.  Thought it was my 32 bit wireless adapter but I installed a new 64 bit adapter today and still not joy.  Any thought?
[01:25] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: OK. Please reboot, and at the grub menu press "c" to get to the grub shell then run "ls" to list what drives/partitions are available to grub.
[01:26] <Jordan_U> Grayman: What is a 32 bit vs 64 bit wireless adaptor?
[01:27] <Grayman> Jordon if you look at the adapter if lshw you will see line that list it.  I thought it strange too.
[01:29] <kostkon> mikubuntu, why not 14.04. Try that first.
[01:30] <mikubuntu> kostkon, i do have 14.04 on the stick, the help page is for an earlier version because i couldn't find a more up to date one
[01:30] <kostkon> mikubuntu, ok
[01:32] <mikubuntu> kostcon any idea why i might be getting the black screen?
[01:32] <Jordan_U> stoiker2: Please tell me how many of your three drives appear to be listed in grub's "ls".
[01:32] <Jordan_U> stroiker3: ^^
[01:32] <stroiker3> almost there, Jordan_U
[01:33] <stroiker3> Oh! Hey! It worked
[01:33] <stroiker3> It took two boots
[01:33] <stroiker3> WOO!
[01:33] <stroiker3> Thanks, Jordan_U ! Time to kick back and relax.
[01:34] <Jordan_U> stroiker3: I'm glad it's working now :)
[01:34] <kostkon> mikubuntu, hmm not really sure. You could try verifying your iso file and burning the iso on the stick again, just to exclude that possibility the iso or the write was bad
[01:35] <kostkon> !md5sum
[01:35] <mikubuntu> ok
[01:37] <Ed4point0> yes!
[01:38] <Ed4point0> lol
[01:38] <Ed4point0> nice bryan

[02:29] <OerHeks> Utal, we are missing the important part, what are you trying to install
[02:30] <OerHeks> or what did you recently add/install
[02:31] <Utal> OerHeks, i got into this problem while install dev stack ... after that everthing i am tring to install show this msg
[02:33] <Utal> OerHeks, are you there
[02:35] <daftykins> "dev stack"
[02:35] <Utal> openstack developer editionn
[02:35] <OerHeks> oh openstack/devstack
[02:35] <mikubuntu> omg. this is driving me nuts. made a start stick of lubuntu 14.04 to install on an hp mini 1000, but i can't get it to boot through. when i select 'try w/o install' the screen just goes black and machine freezes.
[02:36] <Utal> OerHeks, daftykins, so what sould i do
[02:37] <daftykins> sorry i don't fancy this ticket
[02:37] <daftykins> !nomodeset | mikubuntu try this
[02:38] <OerHeks> find the openstack channel, #ubuntu-server or #openstack maybe?
[02:38] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset ! mikubuntu Try this
[02:38] <OerHeks> oh tons of openstack channels
[02:39] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | mikubuntu Try this
[02:39] <daftykins> Bashing-om: err, wat
[02:40] <Utal> but this is not a openstack problem ... this is a ubuntu problem ... atlest they told that ...
[02:40] <daftykins> your install is pretty busted.
[02:42] <Utal> daftykins, what sould i do ...
[02:43] <OerHeks> Utal, it is an openstack issue i guess, but when you look at each line, solution for line 1 http://askubuntu.com/questions/578188/cannot-seem-to-be-able-to-resolve-tzdata-installation-error-problem
[02:43] <OerHeks> sudo dpkg-reconfigure perl-base then try apt-get again
[02:44] <Utal> OerHeks, i  have gone through that .. i have talked even in the openstac forum but still no solution ...
[02:45] <OerHeks> oh not worthy to mention what you tried already, eh?
[02:45] <ObrienDave> would a OS reinstall be in order?
[02:46] <daftykins> ^ yes
[02:46] <daftykins> certainly be the shorter solution
[02:48] <mikubuntu> daftykins: whoa. that nomodreset page is way over my head.
[02:49] <mikubuntu> daftykins: not even sure which part of that page might apply to the hp mini 1000
[02:49] <Utal> daftykins, this is not the first time i have faced it infact i a have found a similar launchpad bug
[02:50] <daftykins> mikubuntu: boot the flash drive, you should get the menu with try/install/etc - press F6 and enable nomodeset then try 'try'
[02:50] <daftykins> i'd rather you had gotten that information from reading that page however.
[02:50] <Utal> daftykins, this is not the first time i have faced it infact i a have found a similar launchpad bug
[02:50] <daftykins> Utal: thats nice but until you sort out your broken packages you won't get anywhere.
[02:50] <mikubuntu> daftykins: ok, i try
[02:51] <Utal> daftykins, so how to do that ...
[02:51] <daftykins> reinstall, because i don't want to help with that :)
[02:51] <Apteryx> Hello!
[02:51] <wastrel> no lie
[02:52] <Utal> daftykins, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/233317 can you check out the issue .
[02:52] <daftykins> Utal: no
[02:52] <ObrienDave> or install synaptic. it has a fix broken packages command
[02:53] <mikubuntu> daftykins: pressing f6 din't do anything but reset the 'automatic boot' timer to 10 seconds
[02:53] <daftykins> automatic boot? what
[02:53] <daftykins> sigh.
[02:54] <mikubuntu> daftykins: i'm assuming it was sposed to bring up a dialogue box?
[02:54] <daftykins> mikubuntu: to be sure i'm talking about this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/X6dvz.png
[02:55] <mikubuntu> daftykins: no, that box din't show up at all
[02:56] <daftykins> then you either made this flash drive up with some other program that doesn't boot this way... or some other issue
[02:56] <daftykins> i smell unetbootin
[02:57] <Apteryx> If my system is running a RAID1, can I install grub in both drives MBR using grub-install /dev/sda && grub-install /dev/sdb ?
[02:57] <Apteryx> And if grub is living in the MBR, I do not nee to set a boot partition? I'm a bit confused.
[02:57] <mikubuntu> daftykins: i'm searching now http://lmgtfy.com/?q=nomodreset+hp+mini
[02:57] <daftykins> mikubuntu: *nomodeset*
[02:58] <daftykins> mikubuntu: and no, you're going about this completely wrong
[02:58] <mikubuntu> oops
[02:58] <daftykins> it has nothing to do with your system specifically
[02:58] <daftykins> i'm just saying to boot the flash drive to the menu as shown in the image i referred to
[02:58] <JokesOnYou77> Hi all.  I'm trying to use bash parameter substitution to remove everything before the last dot "." in a string. But I'd like to get the dot in the return value.  When I use "${VAR##*\.}" I don't get the dot :<
[02:58] <daftykins> perhaps you made up this drive with something like unetbootin?
[02:59] <daftykins> JokesOnYou77: ask in #bash
[02:59] <ObrienDave> or Yumi
[02:59] <mikubuntu> daftykins: you mean the flash drive, yes with unet
[03:00] <daftykins> which OS did you make this drive from?
[03:00] <daftykins> or rather, prepare this flash drive from?
[03:00] <mikubuntu> daftykins: lubuntu 1404
[03:00] <Apteryx> Bashing-om: I think my problem has to do with my /boot partition not being seen by grub or something
[03:01] <daftykins> mikubuntu: ok put the flash drive back in, then open a terminal and use 'dd' to write the ISO onto it.
[03:01] <Bashing-om> !raid | Apteryx Instructions to install grub here
[03:02] <mikubuntu> daftykins: whats dd?
[03:02] <daftykins> an image writing application
[03:02] <Bashing-om> Apteryx: Yhe one of interest here is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto .
[03:02] <mikubuntu> from software center?
[03:03] <daftykins> no it's already installed
[03:03] <xiaorb> mikubuntu be careful with dd, make sure to use the right syntax or you can ruin your system
[03:03] <mikubuntu> daftykins: never seen it on my system
[03:03] <daftykins> that's because it's a command line utility
[03:04] <daftykins> they don't tend to leap up and down in front of you :)
[03:04] <daftykins> mikubuntu: anyway isn't this mini 10 some old rubbish netbook?
[03:04] <Apteryx> Bashing-om: Ok, thanks :)
[03:04] <xiaorb> mikubuntu open terminal and type man dd
[03:04] <xiaorb> it will give your info on the program
[03:05] <daftykins> xiaorb: given the above it is clear that that is NOT going to help this user.
[03:05] <mikubuntu> daftykins: xiaorb, don't i have to download lubuntu again then, as i think unet just wrote directly to the stick from web
[03:06] <xiaorb> daftykins: maybe not right now, perhaps in the future he will correlate
[03:06] <daftykins> lol.
[03:06] <xiaorb> xD lo
[03:06] <xiaorb> l
[03:06] <daftykins> mikubuntu: no it probably downloaded it somewhere
[03:06]  * xiaorb was doing yoda voice in brain
[03:06] <daftykins> but anyway i would not expect for much from netbooks in this day and age
[03:06] <daftykins> my advice is to throw them away
[03:06] <xiaorb> yeah really hit it with a hammer first

[03:09] <daftykins> xiaorb: that's inappropriate talk for here
[03:09] <daftykins> lets get back on topic now
[03:10] <xiaorb> mikibuntu take the drive out and put it in your garbage disposal for 90 minutes with the water running
[03:10] <xiaorb> and drop magnets in there periodically
[03:10] <xiaorb> then throw the carcass in the road
[03:10] <ObrienDave> !helpful
[03:11] <mikubuntu> daftykins: so i know its not the greatest machine, but someone gave it to my sis she just wants to get on facebook and write a letter every now and then.
[03:11] <ObrienDave> *sigh* they got rid of all the good factoids
[03:13] <mikubuntu> i guess they gave it to her because the keyboard wasn't working. the little book was/is running xp. i took the battery off and held the start button for 30 secs as someone said to, and now the keyboard works again (in xp)
[03:13] <daftykins> ObrienDave: might've been !behelpful that one
[03:14] <ObrienDave> sometimes a good capacitor drain does wonders
[03:14] <ObrienDave> !behelpful
[03:14] <ObrienDave> yea, that one. thanks :)
[03:14] <daftykins> mikubuntu: so download the lubuntu ISO again and assuming you also run lubuntu on your system, prepare the flash drive again with the ISO - without unbetootin this time.
[03:15] <mikubuntu> daftykins: ok, i'll try
[03:15] <ObrienDave> easier way is to burn ISO to DVD, use the live system to install it to the stick
[03:16] <ObrienDave> i do all my stick installs that way
[03:16] <xiaorb> ObrienDave, daftykins, okay sorry for the mischief and i wasn't calling mikbuntu a summerf@q i was referring to the irc as root dude xD
[03:16] <aaana> help
[03:16] <daftykins> xiaorb: regardless that's not cool here
[03:16] <mikubuntu> ObrienDave: if you're talking to me, the target machine doesn't have any disc drives, its just a little netbook
[03:16] <ObrienDave> ok
[03:17] <ObrienDave> dang i hate netbooks already ;P
[03:17] <aaana> i have mysql workbench on my Elementary OS
[03:17] <xiaorb> daftykins, exactly, that was my apology

[03:32] <xiaorb> dupingping what's lsbcc
[03:32] <dupingping> Linux Standard Base C Compiler.
[03:32] <STxAxTIC> not gcc?
[03:34] <xiaorb> dupingping i don't see that pkg available have you tried using gcc as STxAxTIC  has suggested?
[03:35] <dupingping> ic

[03:36] <dupingping> i know about gcc

[03:36] <longdong> i want it to automatically skip the mounting if there is an error
[03:36] <dupingping> but I could not create lsb program at 12.04

[04:11] <daftykins> lo
[04:12] <tripelb> What am I missing with xubuntu rather than ubuntu-gnome. (I have Google. I know it is not unity or Compiz) is it more like debian?
[04:12] <tripelb> I have Googled it.
[04:13] <daftykins> tripelb: what do you mean? are you asking what the desktop environment is in xubuntu? xfce.
[04:13] <tripelb> No. I am Asking what programs I will miss and have to install.
[04:14] <daftykins> why don't you just try it and find out?
[04:14] <daftykins> i mean, how do we know what you use on ubuntu? :)
[04:14] <tripelb> I have a HD with debian and I missed some things. In the.ahell. I think. daftykins
[04:14] <daftykins> "the.ahell." ?
[04:16] <tripelb> I want to known more than it is lighter. I installed it. I took the HD to where I have internet so I can update it. ... the shell is bash is terminal is cli
[04:16] <xangua> you miss no software tripelb, any software you can install in Ubuntu you can install in xUbuntu
[04:16] <xangua> you miss nothing*
[04:35] <adezero> whois/ ahnberg
[04:37] <michael_p> anyone know if nvida 760 is supported in 14
[04:38] <tripelb> adezero:  /Whois nick and look for the response the status tab
[04:39] <daftykins> michael_p: sure, may require a proprietary driver though. boot with nomodeset if you have a blank screen
[04:39] <tripelb> xangua: so it isn't missing things like debian.is. the only difference is the GUI?
[04:40] <michael_p> i am not game
[04:40] <daftykins> michael_p: what?
[04:40] <Sebastien> what is your favorite cpanel alternative? It's so expensive :(
[04:42] <michael_p> i have only started using ubuntu
[04:43] <Sebastien> i was asking everyone
[04:45] <daftykins> michael_p: can you explain the situation then? are you having trouble booting?

[04:47] <saurabh> daftykins, that didn't fix my ProfessorKaos64
[04:48] <saurabh> daftykins, that didn't fix my problem.
[04:49] <daftykins> saurabh: either show the output of it in a pastebin or i can't tell what's going on
[04:49] <daftykins> also state what you installed
[04:49] <daftykins> http://paste.ubuntu.com
[04:51] <daftykins> michael_p: sounds like your boot media might not be good, md5 your download (unless it was a torrent) and then remake your flash drive
[04:51] <saurabh> daftykins, http://pastebin.com/7Rig1tNC
[04:52] <daftykins> saurabh: so now you're trying to remove it?
[04:52] <neals> can anyone help me with making an ubuntu liveusb stick?
[04:53] <saurabh> yeah, whatever works. I cannot install anything.
[04:53] <EriC^^> neals: sure
[04:53] <daftykins> saurabh: sudo dpkg -r --force-all android-studio
[04:53] <EriC^^> neals: did you download the iso?
[04:53] <neals> EriC^^: I did
[04:53] <saurabh> daftykins, i fixed it thanks.
[04:53] <neals> EriC^^: the issue is that the liveusb won't boot properly
[04:54] <daftykins> jeez some people.
[04:54] <EriC^^> neals: how did you make it?
[04:54] <neals> EriC^^: with unetbootin

[04:57] <samthewildone> Can anyone help me ?
[04:57] <daftykins> not until you ask something

[05:00] <EriC^^> neals: you mean you have mint installed as an os?
[05:01] <neals> EriC^^: yup, I'm in mint 17 right now
[05:01] <EriC^^> ok, you could boot the iso from grub
[05:01] <neals> oh really?
[05:02] <EriC^^> neals: yeah https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[05:03] <EriC^^> neals: i'd checksum the iso
[05:04] <EriC^^> md5sum /path/to/iso , and then compare with the md5sum on releases.ubuntu.com
[05:04] <neals> EriC^^: that's a good idea, thanks :)
[05:05] <EriC^^> no problem
[05:08] <neals> EriC^^: is there any easy way to compare two hashes from the command line?

[05:09] <neals> i don't trust 'em ;P
[05:10] <daftykins> oy vey
[05:10] <neals> oh well, looks right :)

[06:25] <limbera> hiya, i'm about to swap my ssh port from 22 for security reasons
[06:25] <limbera> i've read conflicting information online about it being a good and a bad idea
[06:25] <limbera> can anyone shed some light on this for me
[06:25] <HoloIRCUser1> Hi! How do I remove evolution without installating  abiword?
[06:34] <rwp> limbera, Why do you want to move the ssh port? Are you familar with fail2ban?  Just install fail2ban instead.
[06:34] <limbera> i was planning on doing both
[06:34] <rwp> if you move the port there will be almost no hits against it.
[06:34] <rwp> So nothing for fail2ban to do on a non-standard port.
[06:34] <limbera> is that not a good thing?
[06:35] <rwp> But on the other hand with fail2ban active there isn't a need to move the port either.
[06:35] <rwp> It isn't bad or good.  It just is what it is.
[06:35] <limbera> ok
[06:35] <limbera> sure
[06:36] <rwp> To be clear it is okay to move the port.  A lot of people do.
[06:37] <rwp> I don't on my servers. Because fail2ban is plenty good enough by itself.
[06:45] <agent_white> ^
[06:45] <limbera> ok I'm configuring fail2ban as we speak
[06:46] <limbera> i'm assuming the default settings are sane enough?

[06:54] <brainwash> nesto: there is also #ubuntu-touch
[06:54] <nesto> thank =)
[06:55] <limbera> do i actually need to "start" fail2ban?
[06:55] <limbera> or just installing and setting config files is enough?
[06:56] <samthewildone> is there a way to have wifi connect automatically?

[09:52] <NAoH> Hey guys, can anyone help me figure out what's going on with my ubuntu server
[09:54] <NAoH> Anyone got any experience with setting up a simple apache server?
[09:54] <MaxBadran> exit
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> NAoH  there's also #ubuntu-server
[09:54] <NAoH> thanks mate
[09:57] <levo> where does the configuration for setxkbmap are stored? when I use setxkbmap -option to change the option it doesn't have any effects but when I used keyboard layout handler (gui) it changes the settings that (setxkbmap -verbose 10) shows.
[10:01] <mahi> hello
[10:01] <mahi> i cant mout the disk
[10:02] <mahi> any one there

[10:04] <mahi> The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
[10:04] <mahi> Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume
[10:04] <mahi> read-only with the 'ro' mount option.

[10:05] <blackflow> The usual, and pretty self-explanatory problem.
[10:06] <mahi> then what to do
[10:06] <bekks> The error message tells you what to do.

[10:11] <int-main> There should be a dailog with my nick somewhere mahi
[10:14] <mikubuntu> does 'make start disk' utility do usb, or only cd/dvd?
[10:14] <int-main> I guess only USB
[10:29] <SirMoo> So... Can't seem to get 911: First Responders/Emergency 4 to work. Complains of no Mpeg 1 demuxer... (I think it's this? https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9127 )... Followed wine's guide people have left.. but no luck... Any ideas? (using the repo wine 1.7) Wine IRC seems... deadish.
[10:30] <MonkeyDust> SirMoo  is that a game?
[10:31] <SirMoo> Indeed.
[10:31] <brainwash> SirMoo: #winehq seems deadish? you have no patience
[10:32] <SirMoo> brainwash:  Pft. I consider no response in 30 minutes deadish...
[10:32] <brainwash> wow
[10:32] <SirMoo> Or 20...
[10:32] <SirMoo> Ha! I love how I get a response now..
[10:32] <MonkeyDust> SirMoo  it is night in the US of A, better wait until they wake up, alot more people here, then
[10:33] <Johnny_Linux> its morning
[10:33] <brainwash> according to the linked bug report, it's a bug. how should we be able to help you with it?
[10:34] <Johnny_Linux> and last nite being a friday, good luck
[10:34] <SirMoo> It seems more hit or miss. I'm further wanting to know if there is a way around i.
[10:36] <brainwash> maybe worth a try: use playonlinux to install the game. this way you can easily switch between different wine versions
[10:36] <SirMoo> I am slightly confused on how to do that when it's installed via wine.
[10:36] <SirMoo> Sorry, steam.
[10:37] <brainwash> then install steam via playonlinux and point it to the already installed game files
[10:37] <r-a-x> my system is unable to resolve the dns, I am trying to access the web with wireless lan
[10:38] <r-a-x> i have configured the /etc/resolv.conf
[10:38] <brainwash> SirMoo: other than that, you will have to wait until someone replies in #winehq
[10:38] <bekks> r-a-x: And the setting in /etc/resolv.comf are overwritten as the first line of that file tells you :)
[10:39] <r-a-x> bekks: i was not having resolv.conf file so I created it with the following content
[10:39] <r-a-x> search example.com
[10:40] <r-a-x> nameserver 8.8.8.8
[10:40] <r-a-x> nameserver 8.8.8.4
[10:40] <bekks> r-a-x: Do you use NetworkManager for connecting your wifi?
[10:42] <r-a-x> bekks: i don't know about that i just connet normally my system connects automatically with the wifi
[10:43] <bekks> r-a-x: Then it uses NetworkManager and overwrites the settings in /etc/resolv.conf
[10:43] <bekks> r-a-x: configure the DNS entries in the settings of your wifi connection.
[10:44] <SirMoo> brainwash: Seems that way. :( It's mostly full of zombies.
[10:44] <r-a-x> bekks: than i also have to provide a ip address manually ??
[10:44] <bekks> r-a-x: No.
[10:45] <r-a-x> bekks: okay
[10:45] <r-a-x> bekks: do i need to reboot the system
[10:45] <r-a-x> ??
[10:46] <knx> Hello everyone I really need help here, I have suffered ruin my MATE-terminal so it does not start anymore, is there any way to restore it on? My OS is Ubuntu MATE 1.8.2
[10:46] <bekks> r-a-x: Its not Windows, so "no". :)
[10:47] <bekks> knx: So what have you done to it?
[10:47] <knx> i try to insert ascii to startup command
[10:47] <bekks> Where?
[10:47] <r-a-x> bekks: but still i am unable to ping google.com
[10:48] <knx> sorry for poor english, i'm swedish
[10:48] <r-a-x> bekks: from terminal
[10:48] <bekks> r-a-x: So did you reconnect your wifi, after configuring the DNS entries?
[10:48] <r-a-x> bekks: yes
[10:50] <knx> bekks: this is what i try to do -> http://askubuntu.com/questions/223836/how-can-i-have-the-terminal-starting-with-ascii-banner
[10:50] <knx> and i insert the command in terminal settings
[10:50] <bekks> knx: So did you try to revert what you have done?
[10:51] <knx> bekks: i try but when i try to start the terminal it shows for like 2sec so i can't go to settings :(
[10:52] <knx> i have even try to reinstall it true program manager but not success :/
[10:53] <r-a-x> bekks: when i ping some external ip i get 57% packet loss, but my window maschine gets 0% packet loss
[10:54] <bekks> r-a-x: Your windows machine is irrelevant :P
[10:55] <bekks> r-a-x: Seems like you have a serious wifi issue, instead just a DNS issue. Which wifi chipset do you use?
[10:55] <r-a-x> bekks: how to find that
[10:55] <bekks> r-a-x: do you use a usb wifi?
[10:55] <r-a-x> bekks: no
[10:56] <bekks> r-a-x: so pastebin the output of "lspci | grep -i net" please.
[10:56] <bekks> !pastebinit | r-a-x
[10:56] <knx> bekks: do u have any clue how to restore the terminal settings ?
[10:56] <bekks> knx: you could try to remove the config file.
[10:56] <knx> bekks: where can i found it ?
[10:57] <eduardo_> i need some help configuring vpn, it appears in gray and i cant save the new connection i create
[10:57] <eduardo_> i want to connect to my university
[10:57] <bekks> knx: I guess somewhere under .config/   -- I havent used that terminal myself yet.
[10:58] <knx> okey
[10:59] <BuzzardBuzz> you may need to instal some of the needed VPN package dependancies to set up your open vpn to your likeling
[11:01] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz i dont think so i installed them, i enter in the configuration settings... and just cant save it... i also tried as root and rebooting......
[11:01] <BuzzardBuzz> to get vpn working were you given an import file that explains all the needed settings for your connection
[11:02] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz no my connection has user and password so i choose this option in openvpn
[11:02] <r-a-x> bekks: http://pastebin.com/c4RG38DH
[11:03] <BuzzardBuzz> you need to know much more than just login username and password to get a connection working
[11:05] <BuzzardBuzz> you will likely also need a server certificate and the protocol and the cipher for the connection and the keysize and the cipher for the authorization
[11:05] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz the server name (tunelsalu.udl.cat) where i want to connect just it....
[11:05] <eduardo_> this is in linux ? in windows they didnt ask me for anything like you say....
[11:06] <BuzzardBuzz> the additional things are needed and usually provided with an import file that contains this data
[11:07] <eduardo_> i have connected from windows without that data without problems, just create new vpn, server remote address, login and password thats it.... and thats what they ask me in the setiings in ubuntu
[11:08] <BuzzardBuzz> what platform the vpn uses is independant of the connection parameters that are used for making a vpn tunnel connection
[11:09] <BuzzardBuzz> it sounds like you are explaining that the default connection parameters worked fine for a connection that you have made previously
[11:12] <BuzzardBuzz> so from the terminal you can do some vpn things that may help you figure out where the issue is with network-manager for the vpn grayed out issue
[11:12] <visit0r3> Hello folks. I just installed ubuntu 15.04 64 bits on an hp pavillion dm3 with hybrid graphics geforce g105m, the system seems to be working with the nouveau drivers for the nvidia card which makes the computer run very hot. How can I get the intal card to work instead. Is bumblebee the way to go ? if so can you recommend me a tutorial to follow. thx.
[11:17] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz Is in spanish but easy to understand http://imagebin.ca/v/24IMbAjxn8iI
[11:18] <eduardo_> with that configuration in windows i can connect and i dont need anything else... im trying from ubuntu as i said i can save the new connection....
[11:18] <r-a-x> bekks: are you there ?
[11:19] <BuzzardBuzz> do you have the network-manager-openvpn-gnome package installed?
[11:20] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz yes, if i didnt i couldnt enter in settings ... i want to adapt to ubuntu this little tutorial.... http://imagebin.ca/v/24INV3jhtFR3
[11:21] <Guest94175> I need some help, I 've installed Lubuntu 15.04 and I want to change the resolution of the greeter and the plymouth loading screen.
[11:25] <Kev01> Hi
[11:27] <BuzzardBuzz> it appears that you have the certificate field populated in the setup, but you said that all you needed was user name and password, how did you figure out what certificate to place in that field?
[11:28] <eduardo_> It says no certificate, i didnt use any certificate in windows
[11:29] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz ninguno in english is nothing no certificate sorry
[11:29] <BuzzardBuzz> maybe i am having issue with trying to read spanish, i read english much better
[11:32] <BuzzardBuzz> so you can enter your connection preferences ok but when you try to save the connection then no connection is saved to be presented as a connection that you can use?
[11:33] <BuzzardBuzz> or the save button is grayed out?
[11:35] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz as you can see in the attached image the save button is grayed out
[11:35] <eduardo_> ive tried the same as root so is not about permissions i think...
[11:36] <bekks> eduardo_: did you install "network-manager-openvpn"?
[11:36] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz  Guardar is save in english... so you have a free master class in spanish ajajajjaja
[11:37] <eduardo_> bekks yes, because without it i wouldnt have the option to enter in settings to configure a new vpn connection
[11:38] <bekks> eduardo_: ah ok.
[11:38] <mikubuntu> damn hp mini, it wants to load lubuntu live 1404, but screen blacks out just after splash screen with 'try w/o install' option -- which, according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ i NEED to run live first to use gparted to alter partitions. also, someone had suggested i get into f6 to click nomodeset, which i did, but still goes to black screen.
[11:39] <eduardo_> bekks could you take a look to the little tutorial i want to "import" to ubuntu....http://imagebin.ca/v/24INV3jhtFR3
[11:40] <BuzzardBuzz> the save button becomes ungrayed as soon as you provide the needed server certificate in addtion to the already provided server url, username, and password
[11:41] <BuzzardBuzz> the server certificate is not optional for this type of connection for openvpn
[11:42] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz i dont have any certificate and if you take a look to the windows tutorial they dont use any either.... perhaps another type of vpn ?
[11:43] <BuzzardBuzz> did you provide the windows tutorial to preview?
[11:43] <BuzzardBuzz> if you did i misunderstood where you provided that
[11:46] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz yes, i have created one net using point to point to protocol, have to test if it works.... http://imagebin.ca/v/24INV3jhtFR3
[11:47] <eduardo_> download it is a pdf
[11:48] <BuzzardBuzz> ok because the posted link just shows a missing picture for the windows tutorial for my browser
[11:49] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz you click on the missing picture and downloads a pdf file...
[11:49] <BuzzardBuzz> let me try that
[11:49] <mikubuntu> damn hp mini, it wants to load lubuntu live 1404, but screen blacks out just after splash screen with 'try w/o install' option -- which, according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ i NEED to run live first to use gparted to alter partitions. also, someone had suggested i get into f6 to click nomodeset, which i did, but still goes to black screen.
[11:53] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz as point protocal doesnt work either... i could pass as private my login and pass to try....
[11:59] <mikubuntu> damn hp mini, it wants to load lubuntu live 1404, but screen blacks out just after splash screen with 'try w/o install' option -- which, according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ i NEED to run live first to use gparted to alter partitions. also, someone had suggested i get into f6 to click nomodeset, which i did, but still goes to black screen.
[12:00] <BuzzardBuzz> ok, usually an openvpn connection needs two files to set it up. one file has exentsion .ovpn and the other file is the server certificate. For windows is is common to bundle these files into an executable installer to make it easy for the user
[12:01] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz well in windows i have done in windows 10 and only has to create new vpn connection, server address, user and pass and thats it... no certificate, no install.... is there any way to enter using ubuntu ??
[12:01] <BuzzardBuzz> i beleive that one certificate is the least possible for an open vpn connection, some open vpn connection types use three certificates
[12:02] <Doc-Saintly> I have trouble with Ubuntu not auto-detecting monitors on my machine :\ It seems that if I replug the monitor while it's on, it can't seem to get the output correct and doesn't show anything. When I remote in, I can still see the video rendering at the old resolution. However, once I hit the power button to restart it, the monitor kicks back on so I can watch it shut down ~.~
[12:02] <Doc-Saintly> I saw some posts about this and creating various scripts to try to remedy this - but I don't think something this basic should require a fix. Is there a bug in Ubuntu?
[12:02] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:03] <BuzzardBuzz> the certificate is not installed it is just a file pointer to a file that contains the certificate data information
[12:04] <sireorion> Kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill the idle task! what do i do wrong ?
[12:05] <eduardo_> BuzzardBuzz is there any option to connect from ubuntu ? Any plan B ? thanks for your patience
[12:05] <eduardo_> as said i could let my user and pass if you need to test
[12:05] <BuzzardBuzz> when you browse to a url on windows browser then the server certificate is presented to the browser so you can get the certificate easily, it is not secret data
[12:11] <BuzzardBuzz> also the url for the desired openvpn connection is currently not pinging as alive right now
[12:12] <BuzzardBuzz> when it becomes alive you can get the certificate from the server and then you can connect to it
[12:13] <BuzzardBuzz> you can get the cetificate from your browser
[12:14] <BuzzardBuzz> for the desired server
[12:14] <mikubuntu> damn hp mini, it wants to load lubuntu live 1404, but screen blacks out just after splash screen with 'try w/o install' option -- which, according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ i NEED to run live first to use gparted to alter partitions. also, someone had suggested i get into f6 to click nomodeset, which i did, but still goes to black screen.
[12:15] <BuzzardBuzz> once you are able to point the connection manager field to a file that contains a copy of the certificate data then it will let you save the connection
[12:16] <BuzzardBuzz> once that is saved then you can connect to it
[12:17] <BuzzardBuzz> for more information about the minimum certificate requirements for any open vpn connection please visit openvpn website
[12:38] <benishor> hi, I'm attempting to upgrade from 14.10 to 15.04 and do-release-upgrade fails without really giving me any reason
[12:38] <benishor> it just says:
[12:38] <benishor> Calculating the changes
[12:38] <benishor> Could not calculate the upgrade
[12:38] <mikubuntu> damn hp mini, it wants to load lubuntu live 1404, but screen blacks out just after splash screen with 'try w/o install' option -- which, according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/ i NEED to run live first to use gparted to alter partitions. also, someone had suggested i get into f6 to click nomodeset, which i did, but still goes to black screen.
[12:38] <benishor> An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.
[12:39] <benishor> any idea on what I can do?
[12:39] <BluesKaj> benishor, make sure your packages are all up to date first
[12:39] <benishor> apt-get update + apt-get upgrade?
[12:40] <bandrami> mikubuntu try booting with acpi_backlight=vendor
[12:40] <BluesKaj> sudo apt-get update &&  sudo apt-get upgrade benishor
[12:41] <benishor> BluesKaj: ok, I just did that. I had some packages that were held back and installed them with apt-get dist-upgrade.  Now I am running do-release-upgrade again
[12:41] <benishor> apparently it can calculate the changes
[12:41] <benishor> thank you BluesKaj!
[12:42] <benishor> let's hope the release will work right out of the box
[12:42] <bekks> benishor: apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade.
[12:42] <bekks> That will update your kernel as well, e.g.
[12:43] <benishor> bekks: yes, I ran dist-upgrade and then do-release-upgrade managed to calculate the differences. thanks!
[12:44] <melbaubuntu> Heey guys, question here. How far is ubuntu with the ubuntu phone for HTC one M8?
[12:45] <blakwire> folks I am trying to 'sudo apt-get update' but I get this error:
[12:45] <blakwire> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11603179/
[12:45] <blakwire> should I reinstall the whole ubuntu?
[12:46] <compdoc> blakwire, it might just be a problem with that mirror hosting the file
[12:46] <blakwire> so how to fix?
[12:46] <compdoc> blakwire. how long has this been happening?
[12:46] <blakwire> today
[12:46] <compdoc> just wait a few hours
[12:47] <compdoc> maybe one day
[12:47] <blakwire> you joking?
[12:47] <compdoc> no
[12:47] <blakwire> right?
[12:47] <melbaubuntu> what are you trying to install blakwire?
[12:47] <mikubuntu> bandrami: sry i was out of the room. isn't that one of the f6 options?
[12:47] <blakwire> trying to update the sys
[12:47] <melbaubuntu> just sudo apt-get update should work? lol
[12:47] <blakwire>  compdoc : it feels like you are
[12:47] <dreamcat4^> hello! i'm on 15.04 upgraded from 14.10. but i find these days some apps use up a lot of the RAM - like java apps, firefox, sublime text
[12:48] <bekks> blakwire: Remove that file, try again.
[12:48] <blakwire> hi dearest bekks
[12:48] <blakwire> how can I or should I do that?
[12:48] <bekks> blakwire: Open a terminal, remove the file.
[12:48] <blakwire> gotcha
[12:48] <dreamcat4^> and compiz too - it kindda feels like it's leaking (along with all those other apps each leaking too). it adds up
[12:49] <bandrami> mikubuntu when you say "f6" do you mean the options to GRUB?
[12:49] <dreamcat4^> sure would be nice to have 8GB ram instead of the 4 i've got
[12:49] <mikubuntu> bandrami: is that the option 'acpi=off' ? and if so, should i still have nomodeset ticked as well?
[12:50] <bandrami> nomodeset shouldn't be an issue with a black screen; that's normally about the kernel knowing what ACPI mode to use
[12:50] <bandrami> keep acpi=off for now, but append acpi_backlight=vendor
[12:50] <bandrami> (with a space between them)
[12:50] <mikubuntu> bandrami: when i tick f6, options are acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nodmraid, nomodeset, and free software only
[12:51] <bandrami> Hm
[12:51] <bandrami> Reboot, and press shift while it comes up to bring up the GRUB menu. On "Ubuntu X.Y" (or whatever) press "e"
[12:51] <blakwire> bekks: I did 'sudo rm us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_trusty_main_i18n_Translation-en%5fUS' and ran 'apt-get update' again but no good
[12:51] <mikubuntu> hmmm .. lol
[12:51] <blakwire> still the prblm is there
[12:52] <compdoc> the mirrors are not perfect
[12:52] <mikubuntu> bandrami: is that instruction for me
[12:53] <blakwire> bekks : ?
[12:54] <mikubuntu> bandrami: oh, i just see your other instruction, about appending acpi+backlight=vendor -- not sure what you mean
[12:54] <blakwire> folks ?
[12:54] <bandrami> mikubuntu: yes. You need to append the string "acpi_backlight=vendor" (NOT "acpi+backlight=vendor") to the kernel boot string
[12:55] <azizLIGHT> what pdf editor can i use to fill out forms and do some page deletion and page rotations, and combining multiple pdf files together?
[12:55] <blakwire> why no one helps me?
[12:56] <mikubuntu> bandrami: i couldn't do that without strict supervision -- could you walk me through it?
[12:56] <kate> hello hello... is bluetoothctl no longer provided by the bluez package?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> blakwire, open the /etc/apt/sources.list file as root and place a # in front of the deb line(s) saqve the file then update and upgrade
[12:56] <compdoc> just wait a few hours. maybe one day
[12:56] <bandrami> mikubuntu: I can try? Is it a different computer from the one you are chatting on now?
[12:56] <mikubuntu> yes -- its an hp mini 1000 netbook
[12:56] <mikubuntu> have it right here beside me
[12:58] <BluesKaj> blakwire, the # in front prevents the repos from being read
[12:58] <bandrami> OK. Reboot and press Shift as it comes back up
[12:58] <bandrami> You should get a GRUB menu; please tell me what it says
[12:58] <chetan> hi guys, I have a nexus tablet and i am trying to download packages but it says no space available
[12:58] <mikubuntu> bandrami:right now i looking at the splash screen ('try w/o install,' etc) and the little menu that starts with acpi=off is open)
[12:58] <bandrami> OH! You're still on the live media?
[12:59] <bandrami> Sorry, that was the part I missed
[12:59] <mikubuntu> bandrami: yes, i cannot get it to boot past that
[12:59] <blakwire> there are no #s at the begining of any deb lines in that file, only these:# deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
[12:59] <blakwire> # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
[13:00] <bandrami> OK. Highlight "Try Ubuntu without installing" and press "e". (this may or may not work depending on the bootloader involved.)
[13:00] <blakwire> which i belive should be that way
[13:00] <blakwire> all the other deblines are without #s folks
[13:01] <BluesKaj> blakwire, you have to place a # in front of the url that is causing the problem
[13:01] <mikubuntu> bandrami: but hp mini supposedly has feature that it only has 4 partitions that have to be repartitioned to accept the new OS, so that's why i need to run live (i guess) according to this page: https://roomforcreativity.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/installing-ubuntu-12-04-on-hp-mini-210-1000/
[13:02] <bandrami> mikubuntu the platform doesn't care how many partitions you have, though the kernel may
[13:02] <blakwire> switched to main server
[13:02] <BluesKaj> blakwire, all the others are repos that can be read and those are fine , it's the one that's not working that you need to comment with a #
[13:03] <blakwire>  BluesKaj: lets see how the main server treats me
[13:04]  * BluesKaj shrugs , ok but make sure you update first
[13:06] <bandrami> mikubuntu: got to run for a bit. Will be back in maybe 20. Best of luck, and if it's still not working I'll check in
[13:06] <mikubuntu> bandrami: ok
[13:07] <chetan> how to degrade ubuntu touch to ubuntu 13.04

[13:10] <leafybasil> Hey all, I tried installing nvidia-current on my macbookpro10,1 and then after reboot just got black screen, had to reinstall, can anyone offer a solid guide on getting this right?
[13:10] <leafybasil> Yipes. Sorry for repeat
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> chetan  explain your issue, maybe there's a solution other than going to a dead release

[13:19] <iamconstantlybor> Any suggestions?
[13:19] <mikubuntu> if i ran dban (dereks boot and nuke) over the xp running on hp mini 1000, would that also delete all the partitions existing on the disk?
[13:19] <bekks> iamconstantlybor: Thats a good question for ##hardware
[13:20] <iamconstantlybor> bekks: Alright, I'll take it there.
[13:20] <MonkeyDust> mikubuntu  sounds like a ##windows questions to me
[13:21] <mikubuntu> MonkeyDust: i'm just trying to figure out how to get ##windows OFF this little netbook so i can load lub 1404
[13:21] <andersonid> hi guys.. quick doubt... why I cant alternate between users without logoff?
[13:23] <bunty_> how to switch from ubuntu touch to ubuntu 13.04 on nexus tablet? please help.
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> mikubuntu  use a live usb or disk, run gparted, delete partitions

[13:23] <sillyslux> su - change user ID or become superuser
[13:24] <mikubuntu> MonkeyDust: so, my prob is i can't get live usb to fully boot, blacks out after first splash screen
[13:26] <bunty_> how to switch from ubuntu touch to ubuntu 13.04 on nexus tablet? please help
[13:27] <bekks> bunty_: 13.04 isnt supported anymore.
[13:29] <andersonid> bekks, mikubuntu: Why I cant alternate from a user to another without logoff... the button is disabled
[13:29] <andersonid> sorry my english is so bad
[13:29] <Rob_C3> guys i just updated to ubuntu 15.04 from 14.04. went ok, but my mdadm raid wont mount on boot anymore. kernel complains about setting the root. root is set to /dev/md127 and thats correct. might this be another mduuid mixup?
[13:30] <Rob_C3> fun fact: rescue mode does correctly detect the raid, can just: mount /dev/md127 /mnt and chroot into it without problems
[13:30] <bunty_> bekks: i am facing lot's of problems with ubuntu touc like memory not available, no gcc compiler, can not run .sh file using ./<filename>
[13:31] <bekks> !raring | bunty_

[13:32] <andersonid> thanks for your answer anyway
[13:32] <andersonid> :)
[13:32] <bunty_> ubottu: can you suggest me any other option than ubuntu touch on my nexus tablet
[13:33] <t3kg33k> Greetings
[13:34] <MonkeyDust> bunty_  type /j #ubuntu-touch
[13:36] <t3kg33k> Is it possible for me to install Ubuntu on my laptop, install all my favorite applications and customize everything in my profile and then some how create an .ISO to load on any machine I want to use that install on?
[13:37] <traekili> grub can boot from iso
[13:38] <Pazooza> It's not going to load on any machine because of differences in machines.
[13:38] <MonkeyDust> t3kg33k  remastersys can do that, but i'm not sure if that still exists
[13:38] <Pazooza> You need original install .iso.
[13:38] <traekili> i was thinking t3kg33k would you use a virtual machine and just save the v disk image on a usb stick
[13:39] <traekili> from the host on each machine
[13:39] <bekks> t3kg33k: https://github.com/mutse/remastersys
[13:40] <t3kg33k> Pazooza: Why? I understood that to be the beauty of Linux, that as long as it was built from a x86 architecture it doesn't matter.
[13:40] <bekks> Pazooza: You dont.
[13:40] <Pazooza> Your install doesn't have all possible drivers like the original.
[13:41] <t3kg33k> Pazooza: Again, I don't think that matters
[13:41] <bekks> Pazooza: They arent needed.
[13:41] <Pazooza> Try it then.
[13:41] <t3kg33k> I'll check out remastersys.
[13:42] <MrJones_> hi
[13:42] <MrJones_> just wanted to say, it's pretty annoying the desktop installer apparently can't do LVM
[13:43] <MrJones_> (detecting existing ones I mean)
[13:43] <MrJones_> you should probably put up a warning on the download page that for non-trivial installs it is useless..
[13:43] <Pazooza> Trying to install a backup on another machine won't work.
[13:43] <MrJones_> is there a way I can boot into the alternate installer?
[13:43] <MrJones_> with the regular live disk
[13:44] <bekks> Pazooza: Why not?
[13:44] <MrJones_> or do I need to download a completely new iso now
[13:44] <bekks> pazooza, the packages provides kernel modules are the same. Thats where drivers come from.
[13:45] <t3kg33k> I believe I'm with bekks on this one.
[13:45] <traekili> me too, and tried it a few times
[13:45] <Pazooza> Will Ford software run on a Chevy?
[13:45] <t3kg33k> Worth testing though
[13:45] <t3kg33k> Pazooza: Not the same
[13:45] <bekks> Pazooza: Linux isnt Ford software.
[13:45] <Pazooza> But Toshiba and Asus are not the same.
[13:46] <traekili> the image will contain the kernel and modules for both
[13:46] <bekks> pazooza: do you know how the linux kernel modules work? Or how the driver concept on linux differs from Windows?
[13:47] <Pazooza> I know that during installation it compiles and selects what it needs and deletes unneeded software.
[13:47] <bekks> pazooza: during installation, it doesnt copile at all.
[13:47] <bekks> +*compile. Those times are gone for ages.
[13:48] <Pazooza> Depends on what distribution.
[13:48] <bekks> Ubuntu.
[13:48] <Pazooza> Manjaro compiles on the fly.
[13:48] <bekks> Ubuntu isnt Manjaro.
[13:49] <traekili> although if t3kg33k  wanted to slim it down, and recompile the kernel, copy xconfig and xconfig from old and uncheck things , then make an iso with that kernel , maybe then there'd me some issue
[13:49] <traekili> but otherwise it should work lol
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> Pazooza  Manjaro is Arch based, Ubuntu isnt
[13:50] <chemerou> hello to all
[13:51] <t3kg33k> hello chemerou
[13:51] <Pazooza> A .iso backup is not a .iso install, that's what I'm saying.
[13:51] <traekili> hi chemerou
[13:51] <chemerou> hello t3kg33k
[13:51] <chemerou> good evening
[13:52] <t3kg33k> That is exactly what I am trying to do, complete a custom .iso install for my personal machines.
[13:52] <chemerou> hell traekili
[13:53] <t3kg33k> Pazooza: I just finished installing Ubuntu on my laptop. I'm going to try this Remastersys to create a custom .iso and then attempt to install it on another machine. I'll let everyone know what happens later.
[13:56] <MrJones_> does the installer do anything when I'm in the partition setup and trying to make it recognize the LVM by clicking the unknown area and choosing LVM?
[13:56] <MrJones_> like, destroying whatever was there without a warning?
[13:56] <chemerou> t3kg33k: i bought a laptop and it has windows 8.1 64bit. And I am new to this UEFI thing. i tried my 32bit lubuntu in my laptop and it works. but i have to choose legacy in bios.
[13:56] <MrJones_> because that kind of would explain what I'm seeing now
[13:57] <MrJones_> if this is the wrong place to ask installer questions, just send me elsewhere
[13:58] <t3kg33k> chermerou: From what I understand, that is correct.
[13:59] <chemerou> t3kg33k, how can I dualboot it along with lubuntu?
[14:01] <chemerou> t3kg33k, do i need the 64bit lubuntu iso for UEFI compatibility?
[14:01] <t3kg33k> chemerou: It's been a long time since I've completed a dual boot and i Have never had to work with uEFI, but I believe Windows needs to be installed first and then you should have the option to install Lubuntu alongside Windows
[14:01] <fisheye_101> still not fixed this bug, thought i did but it is still here, no matter what i put in the power options the screensaver kicks in after 5 minutes
[14:02] <t3kg33k> chermerou: I'm not exactly sure. However, if your machine has 4GB or more you should always use 65-bit
[14:02] <fisheye_101> so my question is - where do i look to see what is causing the screensaver, it must be in a log file somewhere
[14:02] <t3kg33k> *64-bit
[14:02] <chemerou> t3kg33k, my laptop has 2GB of RAM but the pre-installed OS is Windows 8.1 64bit
[14:02] <fisheye_101> i am guessing, so any ideas of where to look cos this is driving me up the wall?
[14:02] <chemerou> i have crappy experience with it
[14:03] <chemerou> t3kg33k, i'm also planning to downgrade in windows 7,
[14:03] <MrJones_> what is the package for launchpad bug filing for the graphical desktop installer?
[14:03] <t3kg33k> chermerou: 64-bit will still work with 2GB of RAM. it won't hurt you if you install the 64-bit of Lubuntu
[14:04] <t3kg33k> chermerou: Unless you absolutely have to have Windows, I wouldn't even worry about installing it.
[14:05] <chemerou> t3kg33k, i need Windows for work, and Lubuntu for internet :)
[14:05] <MrJones_> guys someone in here must know how the installer package is named..
[14:05] <MrJones_> I am not on ubuntu I can't easily check
[14:06] <t3kg33k> brb
[14:06] <MrJones_> is base-installer the graphical one?

[15:27] <moviuro> and when I say "sh", I mean "sh", not your default shell
[15:27] <moviuro> (I'm testing stuff and don't own an Ubuntu box, that's why)
[15:29] <OerHeks> moviuro, take that to the freebsd channel ?
[15:29] <moviuro> OerHeks: I asked for an ubuntu sh, because I'm testing for Ubuntu right now
[15:29] <MonkeyDust> moviuro  try #bash or #ubuntu-app-devel
[15:30] <moviuro> oh god, you're so unhelpful
[15:30] <t3kg33k> looks remastersys is no more
[15:30] <OerHeks> moviuro, what is the use, me running that script on a ubuntu machine/
[15:30] <zhangyanlin> 有没有中文频道，英文不好看不懂！！！^_^
[15:30] <t3kg33k> anyone know of a good alternative to remastersys? I want to create a custom boot .iso.

[15:42] <eduardo_> fedora centos system has an option to disable interactive boot in /etc/sysconfig/init changing prompt=no.... where can i do in ubuntu ??
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> hi, Office is driving me nuts for the most basic actions... in a bulleted summing up, after I made an indented smaller sub-bullet, how do I go back to the main bullet size?
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> in Powerpoint 2010
[15:45] <EriC^^> eduardo_: what do you mean by interactive boot?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> oops
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> wrong channel
[15:46] <eduardo_> eric im not sure because is something im studying right now... i suppose it reffers to the option to choose kernel or different OS at boot time.... thats a security hole
[15:46] <EriC^^> eduardo_: i think you mean grub?
[15:47] <EriC^^> nevermind, i think it's something else
[15:49] <peter__> hello
[15:50] <peter__> Hello
[15:55] <eduardo_> EriC^^ is there a way in ubuntu ??
[15:56] <SCHAAP137> eduardo_, http://askubuntu.com/questions/148095/how-do-i-set-the-grub-timeout-and-the-grub-default-boot-entry
[15:56] <Apteryx> Good morning. Could anyone using full disk encryption (including /boot) report how well it is working?
[15:58] <eduardo_> anyone knows how to setup a vpn ? in windows i can but in ubuntu i need a certificate..... thanks
[15:58] <Apteryx> I had been using full disk encryption myself with the exception of /boot, as was suggested (or required) to do in Ubuntu a couple of years ago.
[16:00] <Apteryx> And I'm just wondering if it's supported now (encrypted /boot). I've moved the /boot partition on the root filesystem (which is encrypted), and did a grub-install. At first it complained that the cryptodisk module was missing, but after adding the line: GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y to my /etc/default/grub is seems the grub-install worked.
[16:01] <Apteryx> I'm just a bit frightened at the idea the computer will get stuck at boot time, so I'd like to have your experience on this before rebooting :) (PC is remote...)
[16:03] <sceener> I just installed a second monitor but its just dublicated how do i remove that?
[16:04] <scatterp> !bg
[16:04] <OerHeks> Apteryx, not sure WHY you did those steps, backup your data
[16:04] <EriC^^> Apteryx: i've no experience with it, but i remember reading on the arch that if you have a separate encrypted /boot you can add that option to grub and use a key or something to have it decrypt and then ask for the passphrase to decrypt the root fs
[16:05] <al8989> hello how do i use ndis wrapper to install a wireless network adaptor driver and what versions driver do i want , do i want the windows 7, the windows vistaor thewindows xp version of the driver?
[16:05] <EriC^^> Apteryx: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Boot_partition
[16:05] <Apteryx> OerHeks: I got fed up with my 3X recommended size independent /boot partition would get filled by old kernels cruft.
[16:05] <scatterp> !tr
[16:05] <Apteryx> OerHeks: So I moved it to my root, which is many GBs.
[16:06] <Apteryx> OerHeks: But had kind of forgotten about the encrypted boot potential issue.
[16:06] <EriC^^> Apteryx: the arch wiki explains quite a bit, also make sure it applies to ubuntu too
[16:07] <EriC^^> Apteryx: did you change /etc/fstab?
[16:07] <EriC^^> and /etc/crypttab ?
[16:07] <Apteryx> EriC^^: Think I had stumbled on that page, but I'll give it another read. And yes I did change /etc/fstab (just had to remove my custom /boot partition).
[16:09] <Apteryx> EriC^^: As well as I did update-grub, update-initramfs -u and grub-install /dev/sda
[16:10] <Apteryx> EriC^^: Guess I'll have to give it a go. And deal wathever happens ;)
[16:11] <EriC^^> yeah
[16:11] <visit0r3> Hello, just installed the nvidia proprietary drivers, bumblebee and primus and I only get a black screen when I log into my normal ubuntu 15.04 64bit session, but it works wheń I log into the oldschool gnome environment. I also get this message during boot after th grud choice screen : bbswitch : no _DSM call found. thank you for the help

[16:15] <Hurga> Hi. Does anyone know how update-manager uses polkit, and how to debug that? I switched from xubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, and now the Software Updater (update-manager) tells me I'm "not allowed to perform this action" when I open it.

[16:20] <kacper> need help
[16:20] <kacper> with ubuntu studio
[16:20] <kacper> i've got ubuntu now in my computer but i want dualboot with windows7
[16:21] <kacper> what i have to do?
[16:22] <EriC^^> kacper: install windows, then use a live ubuntu usb to reinstall grub
[16:23] <EriC^^> kacper: make some unallocated free space first using gparted to install windows to it
[16:23] <kacper> its only one way to make this dualboot
[16:23] <kacper> sorry for bad english xD
[16:24] <chema> hi, can anybody tell me how unistall completely python from ubuntu? i write apt-get remove python, but when it finishes i write python and it says python 2.7.3..
[16:25] <manacit> chema: I dont think you can fully uninstall it, and you definitely shouldn't
[16:25] <manacit> there are system services that require python
[16:25] <chema> i need to install python 2.7.10
[16:25] <chema> so i tried to unistall 2.7.3 firsst
[16:26] <EriC^^> kacper: you can install windows in a virtualbox i guess
[16:26] <kacper> okay
[16:26] <kacper> thank you
[16:26] <kacper> so
[16:26] <kacper> i will try install windows and format all files
[16:27] <kacper> later i'll instal ubuntu
[16:30] <al8989> hello how do i use ndis wrapper to install a wireless network adaptor driver and what version of driver do i want , do i want the windows 7, the windows vista or the windows xp version of the driver?
[16:37] <kacper> i back
[16:37] <kacper> i cant install windows now
[16:38] <kacper> i saw a comunicate
[16:38] <kacper> with drivers or something with that
[16:38] <kacper> i dont know what i have to do now xD
[16:39] <OerHeks> kacper, likely we don't know about installing windows
[16:39] <ObrienDave> are you trying to dual boot?
[16:39] <kacper> yes i am
[16:40] <ObrienDave> install Windows first. UEFI machine?
[16:40] <kacper> yes but now i cant install windows beacuse its seems like windows is in hard drive disk
[16:41] <kacper> but he has'nt bootloader or something it
[16:42] <kacper> someone teel me about boot repair but i do'nt know whats is it
[16:42] <ObrienDave> you should still have the recovery partitions. that will overwrite to new condition
[16:43] <ObrienDave> boot repair is a linux program that fixes most boot issues
[16:43] <EriC^^> kacper: did you install windows?
[16:44] <kacper> yes i installed windows
[16:44] <kacper> but ubuntu is
[16:44] <EriC^^> kacper: or are you sure uefi is enabled? is it windows 8?
[16:44] <kacper> it is windows 7
[16:44] <kacper> yes uefi is enabled
[16:44] <EriC^^> ok, /join ##windows
[16:44] <kacper> k
[16:44] <ObrienDave> Win7 does not do UEFI afaik
[16:46] <MrJones> hi
[16:46] <MrJones> I literally can't get ubuntu to install: http://i.imgur.com/QPTZjZJ.png
[16:47] <MrJones> as you can see, it just fails to realize it needs to format sda5_crypt too
[16:47] <MrJones> unsurprisingly, it fails immediately after trying to mount sda5_crypt
[16:47] <MrJones> what am I supposed to do to make it work?
[16:48] <scatterp> i have a laptop with a usb drive 8gb (no internal drive) and i am trying to install ubuntu and then run the terminator14 script to make it boot from ram (so its fast) how ever every time i try it fails running out of space i have bigger drives i can use to get it working (temporarily) but it does not seem to fit on the usb drive since this is ubuntu twice essentially i just need one toram copy any advice?
[16:49] <BluesKaj> MrJones, are you encrypting before you install? that's usually done afterwards afaik
[16:49] <ObrienDave> MrJones, you might have to decrypt the partitions first
[16:49] <MrJones> BluesKaj: encrypting / after the install in the running system? how is that supposed to work?
[16:49] <MrJones> ObrienDave: I just created them
[16:50] <BluesKaj> MrJones, doesn't the installer ask whether you want the partition encrypted, if that's what you want?
[16:51] <MrJones> it even asked me for the password.
[16:51] <MrJones> which it let me happily enter
[16:51] <lucas> hey all
[16:51] <MrJones> for both sda5_crypt and sda6_crypt
[16:51] <MrJones> and both sda5 and sda6 are set up the same way, and as you can see for BOTH the format checkbox is checked
[16:52] <MrJones> still it fails to format sda5 as you can see from the screenshot
[16:52] <MrJones> because ???
[16:52] <lucas> just a question, i cant turn off my laptop when i try to do it it reboots... tried acpi off force noirq etc but it doesnt poweroff so installed laptop mode tools
[16:52] <BluesKaj> what type of partitions are sda5 and 6. / and /home?
[16:52] <ObrienDave> MrJones, you can't encrypt / afaik
[16:53] <MrJones> ObrienDave: really? any other distribution I have seen can do it..
[16:53] <MrJones> BluesKaj: sda5/6 are crypt containers
[16:53] <MrJones> and / and /home are ext4
[16:54] <ObrienDave> i have been known to be wrong. (does not use crypt)
[16:54] <eduardo_> can anyone help me to connect to vpn net?
[16:55] <MrJones> ObrienDave: it's certainly possible in general, the question is just if the sadly kinda stupid graphical installer can do it..
[16:55] <BluesKaj> MrJones, ok , that's beyond my scope since I'm like ObrienDave, I don't encrypt
[16:56] <MrJones> the installer is horrible for other reasons, e.g. instant-creates all crypt containers without even warning (although all other operations will give you a useful last warning before they go instant to disk - but not this one), and apparently it's impossible to delete crypt containers/mappers again if you want to rearrange things
[16:56] <MrJones> so I rebooted like 999 times to make it forget about them again and retry
[16:56] <ObrienDave> MrJones, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[16:56] <lucas> !poweroff
[16:56] <ObrienDave> apparently this method uses knoppix to encrypt /
[16:57] <MrJones> ObrienDave: that doesn't seem relevant nowadays
[16:57] <MrJones> I'm quite sure the alternate text installer can do it without that much hassle
[16:57] <MrJones> sadly I trusted the graphical one to be up to date... but I guess I'll have to redownload ubuntu with the alternate image
[16:58] <MrJones> are there any plans to bring the graphical install to modern ages? compared to red hat's anaconda it's kind of a bad joke
[17:01] <angate> penis
[17:02] <nomic> ot.
[17:04] <msa1> anybody here ??
[17:04] <ObrienDave> no
[17:04] <msa1> ))
[17:04] <msa1> how to add "WifiSlax" tools in ubuntu ??
[17:05] <msa1> do you know ??
[17:05] <ObrienDave> sec
[17:05] <brainwash> MrJones: what is missing?
[17:06] <MrJones> brainwash: the logic to make this work properly apparently: http://i.imgur.com/QPTZjZJ.png
[17:06] <MrJones> also if it ever adds a dm crypt mapper, you can't get rid of it ever again unless you reboot and make it forget
[17:06] <kacper> now i want to delete everything from HDD with windows and ubuntu
[17:06] <ObrienDave> msa1, you would have to find the equivalent packages for ubuntu
[17:06] <kacper> how to make that from ubuntu level
[17:06] <MrJones> so if you dare to make a mistake with your crypt setup, you have to reboot and kill the whole install to correct it
[17:07] <MrJones> brainwash: (in the screenshot, you can clearly see sda5_crypt is marked for formatting with ext4. still, the popup fails to recognize that - and the install fails a step later trying to mount unformatted sda5_crypt)
[17:07] <ioria> MrJones, my only problems with encryption were related to  swap.   sudo swapoff  -a  resolved
[17:07] <lucas> can some one help me? i cant turn off my laptop, it reboots instead
[17:07] <MrJones> it just doesn't seem to work properly as soon as I try to have more than one formatted encrypted device
[17:08] <MrJones> ioria: as you can see I don't have a swap partition. I have regular partitions, and the installer is set to format them, then just doesn't format one and acts surprised when it finds only junk.
[17:08] <ObrienDave> lucas, hold power button for 5 to 10 seconds. that will kill it
[17:09] <lucas> ObrienDave: yeah but in 14.04 i used to turn it off my adding acpi=force in kernel options but here it doesnt work at all
[17:09] <brainwash> MrJones: you should report this on launchpad then. it's a bug if it does not work properly and can somehow damage your partition structure
[17:09] <MrJones> brainwash: oh I did this before, because the installer doesn't have a proper commit system and writes some changes to disk INSTANTLY without the slightest warning. old data destroyed and gone, poof
[17:10] <MrJones> for some other changes it wants to write them instantly and warns (resize), and only for some (formatting) it actually waits until the end and asks me then
[17:10] <MrJones> of course this should all be done differently like in gparted and anaconda, which NEVER write any change EVER until the very end, then list everything again and make you confirm it
[17:10] <MrJones> the installer really is kinda awful in comparison..
[17:10] <MrJones> alright I guess I'm gonna download the alternate one and have a try with that
[17:10] <MrJones> doesn't seem like I'll still get anywhere with this
[17:11] <anton> hallo?
[17:11] <gofockurselph> hello
[17:11] <brainwash> MrJones: all I can say is that you have to contact the devs in some way (launchpad or mailing list)
[17:12] <MrJones> I already filed a bug for the more horrible instant data loss: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/1462632
[17:12] <Guest57121> how can i enable hardware acceleration in ubuntu 15.04
[17:12] <ObrienDave> MrJones, ouch
[17:14] <brainwash> MrJones: you should file it against ubiquity (Ubuntu live CD installer)
[17:14] <MrJones> brainwash: I asked here for the package name but nobody bothered to respond, so I just picked something with installer
[17:15] <brainwash> =S
[17:16] <MrJones> brainwash: it just had swallowed all my data seconds before without a warning, so I was probably not in the most diplomatic mood..
[17:17] <brainwash> somewhat understandable
[17:18] <MrJones> brainwash: and now I need to download the alternate installer but I'm already in the live system with the usb stick I would need to download it to, because it ate my old system =P
[17:19] <leafybasil> Hey all, I'm having trouble working out if I'm on UEFI or not, is there a simple way to check?
[17:21] <ObrienDave> boot into BIOS, if it has fastboot, it's UEFI
[17:21] <EriC^^> leafybasil: ls -l /sys/firmware/efi && echo you have uefi
[17:21] <ObrienDave> even easier LOL
[17:22] <leafybasil> EriC^^, does the presence of that dir mean it's actually in use?
[17:22] <EriC^^> yeah
[17:22] <leafybasil> I'm using a macbook pro and it's been a long time since I set one up
[17:23] <MrJones> is this a dual image which I can just dd onto an usb stick? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
[17:23] <bekks> Whats a "dual image"?
[17:24] <MrJones> one that works if dd'ed to usb stick
[17:24] <MrJones> (which doesn't apply for a regular iso as far as I'm aware)
[17:24] <bekks> That applies to a "regular iso" as well.
[17:24] <OerHeks> All our iso's are hybrid
[17:25] <MrJones> ah ok
[17:25] <MrJones> also other question: why does the website link me to this folder? http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ instead of the iso
[17:25] <MrJones> I'm supposed to just use that iso right?
[17:25] <MrJones> or should I download everything in there and do something with it
[17:25] <bekks> NEither nor.
[17:25] <eduardo_> where is setroubleshoot in ubuntu 14.04 ? i cant find it or sealert ?? selinux...
[17:26] <bekks> MrJones: If you wantthe mini.iso, download the mini.iso
[17:26] <MrJones> well it doesn't say what it is so.... do I?
[17:26] <MrJones> I want the network install on an usb stick
[17:27] <OerHeks> !selinux
[17:27] <OerHeks> !apparmor
[17:28] <MrJones> bbl
[17:29] <leafybasil> Does anyone know why installing nvidia-current (on macbookpro10,1) causes ubuntu to black screen?  I'm having to reinstall the OS, so I'm stuck in some mad high resolution.
[17:29] <bekks> MrJones: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/15.04/
[17:29] <nomic> a mac?
[17:29] <bekks> leafybasil: You dont have to reinstall. Just boot to failsafe and remove the driver.
[17:29] <leafybasil> nomic, yup
[17:29] <leafybasil> bekks, how would I do that?  Also the intention is to actually use the driver :(
[17:30] <bekks> leafybasil: So which GPU do you have in particular?
[17:30] <pidda> hi
[17:31] <nomic> hi
[17:31] <leafybasil> bekks, I have i915 and gt 650m
[17:31] <bekks> leafybasil: In a Mac?
[17:31] <leafybasil> bekks, cant tell which one is actually in use, but i cant change resolution without screen blackout
[17:31] <leafybasil> bekks, yup?
[17:34] <ObrienDave> i915 is intel
[17:34] <leafybasil> yup, and the gt 650m is nvidia
[17:36] <Kaneki> Is there anyone on here?
[17:37] <Nightray> I need some help partitioning my system. Could anyone help me with that?
[17:38] <Jack_The_Ripper> What are you trying to partition it for?
[17:38] <BluesKaj> Kaneki, yes, if you have aquestion
[17:38] <nomic> the installer will partition your disk automatically
[17:38] <nomic> without you having to specify the sizes of volumes / volumes
[17:39] <Nightray> Well... I have 90gb ssd and 1tb hdd. I wanna completely remove windows and install ubuntu 15.04
[17:39] <Kaneki> Then you don't even need to partition
[17:39] <Jack_The_Ripper> The installer for ubuntu 15.04 will do that automaticly
[17:40] <Nightray> Okay, lets stop here for a moment.
[17:40] <Nightray> My plan is to remove ei
[17:40] <Nightray> Windows*
[17:40] <ObrienDave> the installer can do that
[17:41] <Nightray> (I am typing from a tablet)
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> Nightray  use a live dvd or usb, open gparted, deleted windows partition
[17:41] <MonkeyDust> delete*
[17:41] <Nightray> And, to use photoshop, ms office and stuff for work from vm with windows inside ubuntu. Is this a good idea?
[17:42] <Nightray> Or zho
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> Nightray  yes, I use a vm for windows xp, only for ms office
[17:42] <Jack_The_Ripper> You can use libreoffice for a replacement to msoffice
[17:42] <Nightray> Or should I keep windows?
[17:42] <ObrienDave> it can be done. but will not run as fast as native windows
[17:42] <MonkeyDust> Nightray  you have space enough to have both
[17:42] <xangua> Nightray: if you come with the mentalitty of "I want to run every single program i use on Windows on Linux" you are gonna have a bad time
[17:43] <BluesKaj> dunno about photoshop on a VM , isn't that somewhat resource intensive?
[17:43] <MonkeyDust> Nightray  if you want to run windows programs only, then stick to windows
[17:43] <blackfi_sh> I need to make a live CD persistent. if I make it persistent by following this guide, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence will the softwares I install on it also be persistent.
[17:43] <blackfi_sh> ?
[17:44] <Nightray> I need MS office and photoshop. LibreOffice wont cut it. So, do I have to keep windows or can I use vm?
[17:44] <ObrienDave> yes
[17:44] <ObrienDave> blackfi_sh, yes
[17:44] <xangua> blackfi_sh: why not a USB, it will last more
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> Nightray  but a vm is not as fast as a normal installation
[17:44] <ObrienDave> blackfi_sh, oh, a CD, NO it will not
[17:45] <BluesKaj> Nightray, think you're better off dual booting windows and ubuntu
[17:45] <Nightray> Okay
[17:45] <Jack_The_Ripper> I have a question regarding connecting my iphone to ubuntu mate 15.04. Every time i do, it doesnt get recongized, nothing happens, yet it charges.
[17:45] <blackfi_sh> ah I meant a usb. I have ddeployed the software on a lot of laptops, but could not do it on this particular one.
[17:46] <Kaneki> Hi does anyone know how to change names in Xchat?
[17:46] <blackfi_sh> So I thought of this as a workaround
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> Kaneki  /nick blah
[17:46] <ObrienDave> Jack_The_Ripper, charging has nothing to do with connecting
[17:46] <Kaneki> thx :3
[17:46] <xangua> Jack_The_Ripper: either you keep libimobildevice up to date or keep your iphone in an old iOS release
[17:46] <Jack_The_Ripper> Oh, so how do I get it to connect?
[17:46] <ObrienDave> Kaneki, click your name at the bottom
[17:47] <ObrienDave> Jack_The_Ripper, i know nothing about iphones
[17:47] <Kaneki> o-o it doesnt work?
[17:48] <Kaneki> i can enter something new but it doesnt change
[17:48] <Jack_The_Ripper> Well then.
[17:48] <ObrienDave> Kaneki, start the line     /nick <new_nick>
[17:49] <Jack_The_Ripper> How do i install libimobildevice?
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> find libimobildevice
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> !find libimobildevice
[17:50] <ObrienDave> Jack_The_Ripper, you might have to get that through a PPA
[17:50] <xangua> !info libimoviledevice4
[17:50] <xangua> !info libimobiledevice4
[17:50] <EriC^^> Jack_The_Ripper: are you trying to get iphone to work?
[17:51] <ObrienDave> !find libimobiledevice
[17:51] <EriC^^> Jack_The_Ripper: what are you trying to do?
[17:51] <Jack_The_Ripper> Yes, I am trying to get an iphone to be connected
[17:52] <ObrienDave> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
[17:53] <Jack_The_Ripper> That only goes up to 14.04. Also im running ubuntu mate if it makes a difference.
[17:53] <Tuxjay> is a upgrade from 14.4 LTS to 15.4 good?
[17:53] <ObrienDave> it should not
[17:53] <leafybasil> Does anyone have a decent up to date guide for running ubuntu on a macbook pro, the wiki seems to be in tatters
[17:54] <xangua> Tuxjay: you can not directly upgrade from ubuntu 14.04 to 15.04 if that is what you refer to
[17:54] <ObrienDave> Jack_The_Ripper, it should not make any difference
[17:54] <ObrienDave> Tuxjay, depends on if you want to upgrade OS every 6 months or not
[17:54] <Jack_The_Ripper> Hmm, it appears i have libimobildevice installed, checked via synapic. Ok..thats good
[17:55] <xangua> Jack_The_Ripper: have you made an iOS update recently ¿
[17:55] <ObrienDave> you might need to change a setting on the iphone
[17:55] <Jack_The_Ripper> It connects to oen of my iphones fine, but not the other. Same ios version.
[17:56] <xangua> you know, it's a never ending story, ubuntu has supported "mounting" iOS devices since 2010 but with every iOS update the support breaks
[17:56] <Tuxjay> ok thank you ObrienDave
[17:58] <ObrienDave> LTS is good for 3 years
[17:58] <DJones> ObrienDave: 5 years
[17:58] <ObrienDave> right, i run Xubuntu. 3 years for me
[17:59] <TheC4mel> Anyone here have experience with troubleshooting Ubuntu Studio?
[17:59] <ObrienDave> depends on the trouble, just ask
[18:01] <TheC4mel> When I start up QJackCTL, (basically the GUI control panel for Jack Audio, if I'm not mistaken), the log gives me a few errors as to why it's not working correctly. Specifically, it tells me that jackdbus service is not available, and it wasn't able to load the alsa module.
[18:02] <ObrienDave> i have never been able to keep anything JackAudio working
[18:02] <EriC^^> Jack_The_Ripper: did you get it to work?
[18:03] <Jack_The_Ripper> I got one of the iphones to connect, trying the other one now *fingers crossed*
[18:03] <TheC4mel> Damn. Well, I'm just a music producer, not a mad Linux scientist. Lmao.
[18:03] <EriC^^> Jack_The_Ripper: not sure if this would help, but maybe try idevicepair pair
[18:04] <EriC^^> if it doesn't work ( you can have to install sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils first btw )
[18:04] <ObrienDave> TheC4mel, well ardour (?) supports alsa now. no jack required
[18:04] <Jack_The_Ripper> Ok, i shall try that.
[18:05] <TheC4mel> ObrienDave: I use ardour! Well, I am going to use ardour, if I can ever get the damn plugins to work.
[18:05] <ObrienDave> TheC4mel, as well as hydrogen
[18:05] <TheC4mel> I don't even think my alsa module is loading correctly, though.
[18:07] <Jack_The_Ripper> Ok, so now both my iphone are connected. Thanks
[18:07] <ObrienDave> TheC4mel, run alsamixer in terminal
[18:09] <killjoy> ello, ello

[18:13] <ObrienDave> Guest45293, /nick newnick
[18:13] <Guest45293> weird.... not working... it's ok though
[18:14] <Jack_The_Ripper> Guest45293, click on your name beside the text box and change it from there
[18:15] <TheC4mel> Oops, sorry ObrienDave, I was AFK for a while
[18:16] <bootstrappm> I'm having trouble understanding the relationship between Desktop Environments and Window Managers and what's shared and what isn't. Gnome2 used Metacity that used GTK, Gnome3 uses Mutter which replaces GTK with Clutter. Does that mean Gnome3 doesn't come with the GTK libraries?
[18:17] <Kill_Joy> must have been a weird xchat bug ... working now
[18:17] <k1l_> Kill_Joy: or the name is blocked from freenode
[18:17] <ObrienDave> TheC4mel, no problem
[18:18] <Kill_Joy> oh, didn't know.... I guess it's more popular than I thought
[18:18] <TheC4mel> ObrienDave: I'm attempting to install all of the missing bits and pieces for alsa driver
[18:19] <just_me> c4, have you tried synaptic?
[18:19] <BluesKaj> TheC4mel, alsa-base and al;sa-utils ?
[18:19] <ObrienDave> TheC4mel, did alsamixer work?
[18:20] <bunty_> Hi, I have a nexus tabet and I have installed ubuntu on it. please find image on following link. http://ibin.co/24KBu0mDKLV9 this i got on executing command: df -h, why only 2GB available on root?
[18:20] <bunty_>  it is 16 GB nexus 7 2013 wifi
[18:20] <TheC4mel> Oh yeah, I forgot
[18:21] <TheC4mel> ObrienDave: Yes, alsamixer works.
[18:21] <ObrienDave> then alsa works afaik
[18:21] <TheC4mel> Something must not be right though. :/ QJackCT
[18:22] <TheC4mel> QJackCTL***
[18:22] <TheC4mel> Is giving me some errors
[18:22] <BluesKaj> TheC4mel, what bit's and pieces of alsa are you referring to ?
[18:22] <TheC4mel> Want to see the log?
[18:22] <TheC4mel> BluesKaj: To be honest mate, I don't really know. This is a bit of a learning curve for me.
[18:23] <TheC4mel> Here's the log from QJackCTL: http://pastebin.com/JBjjwZr5
[18:24] <BluesKaj> TheC4mel, ok what are you trying to accomplish with QJackCTL ?
[18:24] <TheC4mel> BluesKaj: Well, I was just trying to test to see if some of my plugins were working correctly.
[18:25] <TheC4mel> I can take some screenshots of what happens when I run it.
[18:25] <just_me> do you have all the dependencies installed?
[18:25] <BluesKaj> TheC4mel, which plugins?
[18:26] <just_me> the error log should tell you what missing dependencies you need
[18:26] <TheC4mel> BluesKaj: I have calf installed, afaik (I'm using Ardour)
[18:27] <ObrienDave> i knew there was some die-hard jack fans out there ;P
[18:27] <TheC4mel> I don't even know how to access my DAW's plugins, IMHO
[18:31] <flexus> you need a host for plugins (LV2 etc)
[18:37] <t3kg33k> For those that may have been around earlier in the discussion about making a custom boot .iso from a built machine: I was able to successfully complete this successfully using Systemback.
[18:38] <Original_KillJoy> Systemback?  never heard of it
[18:38] <MonkeyDust> t3kg33k  great, do you have a link or other reference?
[18:38] <chetan> Hi, I have a nexus tabet and I have installed ubuntu on it. please find image on following link. http://ibin.co/24KBu0mDKLV9 this i got on executing command: df -h, why only 2GB available on root?  it is 16 GB nexus 7 2013 wifi
[18:38] <t3kg33k> http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/
[18:39] <Original_KillJoy> Looks like a handy program
[18:39] <t3kg33k> I was able to take a snapshot of my laptop running Ubuntu Mate 15.04 and converted the image to .iso. I then tested it on a virtual machine in Virtualbox and it worked like a charm
[18:39] <t3kg33k> Here's a good article on it: http://www.techrepublic.com/article/create-a-live-system-iso-for-your-ubuntu-based-linux-machines-using-systemback/
[18:39] <Original_KillJoy> so, you load the iso and all your personal files are there aswell?
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> t3kg33k  +1, glad you made it
[18:40] <traekili> i remember from earlier, good t3kg33k
[18:40] <traekili> that's good i mean,
[18:41] <t3kg33k> My next attempt will be on physical machine, once I can find one around the house.
[18:41] <Original_KillJoy>  that's a good idea for an old (unused) laptop
[18:42] <Bashing-om> chetan: Think you are looking at the liveDVD's '/' . Boot the install and run 'df -h' from there .
[19:00]  * histo yuck sourceforge
 hello. i am running lubuntu on one of my laptops and i can't figure out how to connect it to my wifi after a (somewhat) recent update
[19:02] <tsoutseki> could someone instruct me? thanks
[19:02] <t3kg33k> So, I'm still testing the Systemback and there seems to be something I was short sighted on. So, the .iso boots into a Live boot environment. You can run the Systemback application again and it walks through an install wizard but it's not very informative, especially in the partitioning phase.
[19:02] <histo> !ot | t3kg33k
[19:03] <MonkeyDust> t3kg33k  inform the maintainer(s) about this shortcoming
[19:03] <t3kg33k> Still trying to figure out how to install the Ubuntu from the custom .iso
[19:03] <bekks> t3kg33k: You could use a PXE server and perform a kickstart installation, which customizes the target to your needs.
[19:04] <t3kg33k> MonkeyDust: Good idea

[19:17] <d4rkm15t> someone there?
[19:17] <ObrienDave> nope
[19:17] <bekks> d4rkm15t: Look at "/names".
[19:18] <d4rkm15t> too bad
[19:18] <d4rkm15t>  i have a question
[19:18] <bekks> !ask | d4rkm15t
[19:19] <d4rkm15t> well i wanted to run a  .jar file and since it said it was like ubuntu i should just mark the execute box but there isnt an execute box ?
[19:19] <bekks> d4rkm15t: Run: java -jar yourfile.jar
[19:19] <bekks> A .jar file inst executable by itself.
[19:19] <d4rkm15t> thanks
[19:21] <d4rkm15t> wouldnt work
[19:21] <traekili> chmod +x on it
[19:21] <histo> traekili: that won't work
[19:21] <traekili> that was fast
[19:21] <t3kg33k> Okay, update on Systemback. I had to stumble through but was able to complete an install of my custom Ubuntu Mate 15.04 from the .iso Systemback created and loaded it on a VM.
[19:22] <histo> d4rkm15t: you could write a short script #!/bin/bash; java -jar nameoffile.jar     and chmod +x the script and then you just run the script when you want to start it
[19:22] <d4rkm15t> okay thanks ill try
[19:22] <bekks> traekili: That will not make a .jar file magically executable. A .jar file is an compressed archive, you cannot execute it.
[19:22] <t3kg33k> Next my test of custom Ubuntu Mate 15.04 will be on a physical machine.
[19:22] <bekks> d4rkm15t: It is pointless to set +x on a .jar file.
[19:23] <histo> t3kg33k: ot
[19:23] <traekili> bekks i know, i was checking this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/270172/how-can-i-make-a-jar-file-executable i use java myself
[19:24] <traekili> i was assuming it was unset for some weird reason.
[19:25] <bekks> traekili: It isnt necessary to set it, so seeing it not being set is the default (and doesnt need to be changed) ;)
[19:26] <traekili> lets be civil though, i know what you meant the first time :)
[19:27] <tsoutseki> what's the command to completely update an ubuntu computer
[19:28] <zykotick9> tsoutseki: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[19:28] <tsoutseki> zykotick9, thank you
[19:29] <Rob_C> I got a problem with my mdadm raid after i upgraded to 15.04 and could use some help, can't boot the system...
[19:36] <Guest70516> hi
[19:37] <k1l_> !rootirc | Guest70516
[19:42] <tsoutseki> so, i used the command 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' and i accidentally closed the terminal
[19:42] <tsoutseki> while it was updating
[19:42] <tsoutseki> what to do?
[19:42] <Sebastien> tsoutseki, try again, but start SCREEN first?
[19:43] <k1l_> tsoutseki: run it again, but dont close the terminal this time
[19:44] <tsoutseki> k1l_, i tried but it returned back something along the lines of 'dpkg' being used. i rebooted, idk if it was a good idea but anyway
[19:44] <k1l_> tsoutseki: pleast put the messages into a pastebin and show the url here. details matter a lot
[19:45] <tsoutseki> k1l_, don't worry, it booted normally :)
[19:45] <k1l_> tsoutseki: booting doesnt tell anything about the state of the package system.
[19:45] <zykotick9> !aptlock | tsoutseki _if_ this is your issue
[19:45] <Guest38946> a
[19:45] <k1l_> and blindly rebooting is not a good solution
[19:45] <KillerMachine> a
[19:45] <EriC^^> tsoutseki: type sudo dpkg-configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install
[19:46] <EriC^^> * sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:46] <EriC^^> tsoutseki: run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade first
[19:46] <tsoutseki> everything is ok, for now. i just re-used the command after rebooting and it is downloading from like it did before. thank you all!
[19:47] <tsoutseki> EriC^^, right
[19:54] <Guest20534> Fresh upgrade to 15.04 on Asus Q502L laptop. Touchpad still not working. I thought the latest Kernel fixed this?

[20:01] <nahtnam> Hey! I need some help. I have a full ubuntu laptop. I partitioned by drive, and installed windows 10. For some reason, windows 10 didnt have a bootloader so I used a ubuntu 14.04 live cd to run boot-repair. Now when I reboot, GRUB shows up but windows isnt in the options. Here is the pastebin boot-repair gave me. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11609643/ What can i
[20:01] <nahtnam> do to get windows to show up in grub?
[20:05] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, did you try the advanced options in boot-repair?
[20:06] <nahtnam> cyberalex4life: It says to ask online if you have no clue what you are doing. :P
[20:06] <nahtnam> What should I change in the advanced options?
[20:07] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, I have never used windows together with any windows, but I used boot-repair so that't the only advice I can give: advanced options
[20:08] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, I don't know even if you can do anything, but reading the options might give you some clue, if there is one.
[20:08] <nahtnam> cyberalex4life: Kk. Anyone else know what do to?
[20:08] <nahtnam> cyberalex4life: Any idea what MBR?
[20:08] <nahtnam> is
[20:09] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, M(Main I think) Boot Loader
[20:09] <ObrienDave> MBR is Master Boot Record
[20:09] <cyberalex4life> that's good
[20:10] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, It's where windows and ubuntu usually put the info about booting (some part of the hdd I think)
[20:11] <jazzy_> How do I tell what Touchpad I have on my ASUS laptop? It isn't working on 15.04
[20:11] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, this is the default option, anyway, you could try with some boot repair options from windows 10 (if there are some)
[20:13] <nahtnam> cyberalex4life: There is an option to restore MBR. Do you think I should enable that and try it?
[20:13] <jazzy_> From what I read, the latest 3.19 kernel should support newer Touchpad... but it isn't working for me
[20:13] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, this can work the other way around, meaning you'll make windows work, but not linux (though I found info on the internet on repair grub for linux: you may even reinstall grub not having to reinstall linux)
[20:15] <cyberalex4life> nahtnam, I'm no expert, you can try, either way linux can be rapaired easyly, but if it asks for some backup (just speculating) it won't be useful
[20:17] <cyberalex4life> I was never interested in running 2 or more primary OS's, I always used a virtual machine
[20:17] <Bashing-om> nahtnam: I see "The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown
[20:17] <Bashing-om> Windows fully . Do you have access to a windows recovry CD ?
[20:18] <nahtnam> Bashing-om: Yeah, I had to force shut down, because if I used the shut down button, I would just show "Continuing with system resume" when I turned it on
[20:18] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, what kind of touchpad do you have?
[20:19] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, or what laptop model?
[20:21] <tsoutseki> anyone knows any good network (wifi) managing software? i mean that it will be letting me choose which wifi i want to connect to etc.
[20:22] <EriC^^> tsoutseki: network-manager and nm-applet are pretty good, they're default in ubuntu
[20:23] <jazzy_> cyberalex4life, ASUS q502L
[20:23] <jazzy_> cyberalex4life, I just tried the Focaltech-dkms install...going to restart and see if that helps
[20:23] <cyberalex4life> tsoutseki, that's what I was wondering, ubuntu has a GUI in System Settings, but actually you can also try plasma-nm, from kde. This will let you add create hotspots for android
[20:24] <tsoutseki> cyberalex4life, nice :) thanks
[20:25] <cyberalex4life> tsoutseki, you have to type in terminal kde-nm-connection-editor after installing it, but there is also a launcher in /usr/share/applications/kde4 , but it is set not to be shown
[20:26] <jazzy_> doh! cyberalex4life NOPE that didn't work :(
[20:27] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, I have an Asus K55VD, touchpad seem similar, I don't have any problem with it on ubuntu 14.04.1 (kernel 3.13)
[20:28] <jazzy_> I have a ASUS 500 ultrabook 14.04 and it works fine, but this is the newer ASUS my girlfriend has
[20:28] <jazzy_> cyberalex4life, I read kernal 3.19 should fix it, but doesn't seem to
[20:28] <B0g4r7> I wonder if the "sometimes doesn't wake from sleep" problem ever got fixed for my Asus 1215B...
[20:29] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, well maybe would fix it, though does not mean that ubuntu would fix it, sorry for disturbing others
[20:29] <B0g4r7> I ended up just buying a 1215N and moving on.
[20:29] <jazzy_> well gee
[20:30] <jazzy_> oh well, guess we'll keep using a mouse for now
[20:30] <jazzy_> thanks cyberalex4life
[20:31] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, try with fedora, or manjaro (I think there are some new realeses: manjaro is rolling release -> also opensuse Tumbleweed)
[20:31] <jazzy_> hmmm, I think it did work with a live boot, but i'll try again with another distro
[20:31] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, at least you might get a clue of what is fixed and what not
[20:31] <ObrienDave> jazzy_, is the touchpad enabled in windows?
[20:31] <jazzy_> yeah works find in windows ObrienDave
[20:31] <ObrienDave> k
[20:32] <jazzy_> fine
[20:32] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, what ubuntu version worked in live mode?
[20:33] <jazzy_> i'll have to check again to make sure, i was pretty sure it worked when we did the install cyberalex4life ...that would have been 14.04
[20:34] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, first check you have  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed
[20:34] <jazzy_> how do i know this is a synaptic touchpad cyberalex4life ?
[20:35] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, synaptics is the driver for linux, it's just a name I guess
[20:35] <ObrienDave> it won't hurt to try that. you can uninstall it if need be
[20:35] <jazzy_> how should i check if it is install?
[20:35] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, sudo apt-get install --reinstall  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[20:36] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, do that, then a reboot
[20:36] <jazzy_> ok rebooting now
[20:36] <jazzy_> it installed
[20:36] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, stop..
[20:36] <jazzy_> oh?
[20:36] <jazzy_> i installed it as you showed cyberalex4life
[20:37] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, no, you should try with the live 14.04 to be sure your touchpad works
[20:37] <jazzy_> ok
[20:37] <jazzy_> it does work in windows
[20:37] <jazzy_> but i'll try a live boot as well
[20:37] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, if it works on live, there may be some workarounds that will fix it
[20:39] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, if not, you may have to wait for kernel 20, maybe, but Asus are usually build for windows, that's what I read, It took a year or so to get my brightness keys working, since I bought it
[20:40] <cyberalex4life> jazzy_, ok reboot and if it does not work, try the live, then if the live works, come back here
[20:58] <Guest80024> well dang! That didn't work, nor could I get it to live boot into anything
[20:58] <Guest80024> ...this is jazzy
[20:59] <Guest80024> with or without secure boot turned on..... that was with xubuntu and eOS... I'll have to download fedora and try to boot off it
[20:59] <TheC4mel> Is there a DAW that has Plug-ins that completely work, without having to set up jackd or alsa, (in conjunction with Pulse Audio)?
[20:59] <cyberalex4life> Guest80024, did you install kernel 3.19 on ubuntu 14.04?
[20:59] <TheC4mel> I'm sick and tired of getting no results with troubleshooting my audio issues with Ardour music software
[21:00] <Guest80024> now cyberalex4life ...just did an upgraded to 14.10, then 15.04
[21:00] <Guest80024> TheC4mel, have you tried KXStudio chatroom #kxstudio and #opensourcemusicians they might have some good info on that
[21:01] <cyberalex4life> Guest80024, well if 15.04 works, and you are ok with another distro, try something with kernel >= 3.19
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> TheC4mel  there's also #ubuntustudio, for multimedia questions
[21:01] <cyberalex4life> *doesn't work
[21:04] <blib> What's a good laptop for ubuntu these days? - light - I was looking at dell xps 13 - any other recommendations from people who bought one recently?
[21:04] <Guest80024> blib, have you looked at the system76 laptops?
[21:05] <ahoneybun> blib, light and cheap?
[21:05] <blib> Guest80024: looking now
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> !hardware | blib read this too
[21:05] <blib> they look bulky
[21:06] <MonkeyDust> blib  with the mini.iso, you can select the software you want to install
[21:07] <Guest80024> blib, I use an older ASUS Ultrabook 500 series I think, that I like...working on my girlfriends newer ASUS right now that seems to have a different style touchpad that isn't working at the moment
[21:07] <lucas23423> PLEASE!! i cannot turn my laptop off!!! halt init 0 shutdown poweroff they all reboot the laptop and dont shut it down!!! im crazy and dont know whats wrong!!

[21:20] <MonkeyDust> lucas23423  my laptop behaves differently in the GUI and in a TTY screen, maybe yours too... try ctrl-alt F1 and then sudo init 0... any difference?
[21:21] <lucas23423> MonkeyDust, nope i tried that already
[21:22] <k1l_> bunty: for ubuntu touch better ask in the channel #ubuntu-touch
[21:22] <lucas23423> MonkeyDust, ive changed in /etc/default/halt the line HATL=poweroff to INIT_HALT=poweroff I also have acpi=force in kernel options in grub

[21:33] <Jeph_ch> hello guys
[21:35] <Jeph_ch> I'm deperately trying to install ubuntu vivid on a proliant server
[21:36] <Jeph_ch> when creating boot partition the system stops at 33%  and nothing hapen
[21:38] <Jeph_ch> can somebody please help me to find out what's goirng wrong?
[21:43] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: At that point, can you get to a tty by pressing ctrl+alt+F1?
[21:43] <OS-16749> hey can someone tell me if im cloaked?
[21:43] <k1l_> OS-16749: you can /whois yourself
[21:45] <Jeph_ch> thanks Jordan
[21:45] <Jeph_ch> let's me staronce the installatin and test that
[21:45] <OS-16749> doesnt seem to be working
[21:46] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: If you haven't started yet, first verify the integrity of the install media.
[21:46] <Jordan_U> OS-16749: Please join #freenode for help with using the network.
[21:50] <Jeph_ch> I  should precise that my installation is made on a logical drive of 1.8tb created via the bios raid utility of my server
[21:50] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: That's definitely good to know. That sounds like FakeRAID, which you should avoid.
[21:52] <Jeph_ch> My server is a dl380 g7 with a raid card with 512MB integrated to server
[21:52] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: FakeRAID still uses your CPU and RAM for performing RAID, but is less efficient than simply using linux's mdraid and uses a proprietary on-disk format. Disable FakeRAID completely and simply use mdraid, unless you're planning to dual boot with Windows.
[21:52] <Jeph_ch> I've built a raid 5.0
[21:52] <Jeph_ch> with 8 drive of 300GB each
[21:53] <Jeph_ch> I'm at the same point 33% partition formatting and it's blocked
[21:54] <Jeph_ch> the itegrity of the media fails
[21:54] <Jeph_ch> tough I've dowloaded the the iso several times
[21:54] <Jeph_ch> exactly 4 times
[21:55] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: What are using to boot the installer from?
[21:55] <Jeph_ch> CRtl alt F2 brig me to a terminal page with promt
[21:55] <Jeph_ch> I'm using a usb key
[21:56] <EriC^> Jeph_ch: are you installing ubuntu server?
[21:56] <psusi> Jeph_ch, in the ubuntu installer, does it see only one drive, or all 8?
[21:56] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Then your USB key is probably silently corrupting data.
[21:56] <Jeph_ch> only one drive of 1.8tb
[21:56] <psusi> Jeph_ch, in other words, are you installing to /dev/sda, or /dev/mapper/something or /dev/mdxx?
[21:56] <Jeph_ch> Humm
[21:56] <EriC^> Jeph_ch: if you're using a gui installer there's the arrow you can click on and it'll show you more info
[21:57] <Jeph_ch> so I should better try with another usb key
[21:57] <leafybasil> Can anyone tell me how to turn off tap-clicking when using DWM, I went looking for Xorg.conf and it doesn't seem to be there, not sure how to do it :(
[21:57] <EriC^> or try typing dmesg in a tty maybe
[21:57] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Yes, and run the media self-test before trying to install.
[21:57] <psusi> if you see /dev/mapper/something or /dev/mdsomething instead of just /dev/sda, then it's fakeraid.. if you only see a 1.8 tb /dev/sda, then it's hardwrae raid
[21:57] <Jeph_ch> great
[21:57] <psusi> also are these brand new disks, or have they been used before?
[21:58] <Jeph_ch> which arrow should I click for more info
[21:58] <Jeph_ch> I'm not usin mouse but I can connect one
[21:58] <psusi> server installer doesn't use a mouse
[21:58] <Jeph_ch> but let's me first change the usb guys
[21:58] <Jeph_ch> thanl you for the tips
[21:59] <shiznix> does anyone know what sets the $UPSTART_SESSION env variable ?
[22:00] <ikonia> sets it where ?
[22:03] <brainwash> shiznix: you mean something other than upstart itself?
[22:03] <shiznix> ikonia: in a desktop session
[22:03] <ikonia> what do you mean in a desktop session ?
[22:03] <ikonia> what exactly are you trying to do
[22:04] <psusi> shiznix, I would imagine it is set by upstart
[22:04] <leafybasil> I was told I could set my keyboard backlight by writing a value between 0 and 255 to /sys/class/leds/smc::keybd_backlight/brightness but even as root I'm told the file is readonly... Why can't I write a value?
[22:05] <EriC^> leafybasil: what's the command you're typing?
[22:05] <leafybasil> EriC^, I'm trying 'sudo vim' that file then save
[22:05] <psusi> leafybasil, you're supposed to use echo > to write to it, vim won't do it
[22:05] <leafybasil> psusi, will give that a go :(
[22:06] <leafybasil> I tried 'cat' too
[22:06] <psusi> sudo -s, then echo 255 > /sys/blah
[22:06] <Jordan_U> leafybasil: echo 200 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/smc::keybd_backlight/brightness
[22:06] <psusi> or that ;)
[22:06] <psusi> or sudo bash -c 'echo 200 > /sys/blah'
[22:08] <leafybasil> psusi / Jordan_U  thanks very much for that, out of curiosity why does 'sudo echo 200 > /blah' not work?  I wanted to add some keybindings for inc/dec
[22:08] <bekks> psusi: That wont work. Use echo 200 | tee /sys/blah instead.
[22:08] <bekks> *sudo tee
[22:08] <psusi> leafybasil, because it is your shell that interprets the > and tries to open the file, which it can't do
[22:09] <lasconic> Hi, I have a naive questions. Does Ubuntu get firefox updates from the package manager?
[22:09] <bekks> lasconic: yes.
[22:09] <k1l_> lasoyes
[22:09] <lasconic> ok, what about open office?
[22:09] <EriC^> leafybasil: sudo doesn't go across the redirection >
[22:09] <bekks> lasconic: Same thing.
[22:10] <k1l_> lasconic: yes. it just takes a bit to be tested not to break everything, so it takes a day or 3
[22:10] <lasconic> and why these software and not others ?
[22:10] <k1l_> lasconic: libreoffice is in the repos. but that will not get every update, just heavy bug fixes and security fixes
[22:10] <leafybasil> EriC^, psusi thanks, I didn't realise.  Do you have any recommended reading if I want to add some keybindings for inc/dec?
[22:10] <bekks> lasconic: All software in trhe repos will get updated through the repos.
[22:10] <lasconic> well that's for sure not true
[22:11] <lasconic> most of the software are just not updated
[22:11] <k1l_> lasconic: most software only gets heavy bug and security patches, which will not bring it to the latest version number
[22:11] <lasconic> ok, how is this decided ?
[22:12] <bekks> lasconic: "will get updated" doesnt mean "will stay on the bleeding edge versions"
[22:12] <psusi> leafybasil, nope
[22:12] <lasconic> if I make an update to my software and I consider it's major
[22:12] <EriC^> leafybasil: not really, you could add a script to use sudo without a password and bind that script to a shortcut, and make sure the script is owned by root and can't be modified
[22:12] <k1l_> lasconic: the maintainers decide
[22:12] <lasconic> ok
[22:12] <Razzdoll> I switched to ubuntu to get away from restarts everyday. The software updater is making me restart everyday too. I just don't. Any ideas lol..
[22:12] <lasconic> i will talk with the maintainer, thanks
[22:12] <EriC^> leafybasil: or write your own setuid c program that gets called and changes it
[22:13] <psusi> libreoffice and firefox are treated specially and get feature updates since their upstreams are very good about keeping their new releases well tested and bug free
[22:13] <darlek> wifi light as been going crazy today, any ideas what to check?
[22:13] <psusi> most packages aren't updated except for critical bug fixes and security fixes since often times new versions add new bugs
[22:13] <leafybasil> EriC^, psusi thanks, sounds like more effort than it's worth to avoid typing a password, don't use it much anyway
[22:14] <k1l_> lasconic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[22:14] <psusi> Razzdoll, the only time the updater tells you to restart is when you get a new kernel... which only happens when there is a security fix... doesn't happen that often
[22:14] <EriC^> leafybasil: if you want google about brightness issues for the screen, cause that happens, might find something
[22:14] <EriC^> it's basically the same thing just a different file
[22:14] <Razzdoll> psusi: oh. ty.
[22:14] <leafybasil> EriC^, screen brightmess is my next woe
[22:15] <leafybasil> EriC^, but I only have two modes work, and rest
[22:15] <leafybasil> EriC^, do you happen to know which file that is?
[22:16] <EriC^> leafybasil: /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness most likely
[22:16] <polishpoliceforc> anyone know how to modify the default settings of a webcam? so it has x settings over default Y settings on plugin from that point forward
[22:16] <ahoneybun> blib, look at some of the Dell ones
[22:17] <Bashing-om> leafybasil: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Monitor_or_Screens#Sometimes_it_takes_real_tweaking_to_solve_the_problem ; has a section to control screen brightness . Maybe it will apply in your situation .
[22:17] <EriC^> leafybasil: there's a program called xbacklight, might be worth a check
[22:17] <darlek> Hi all.  Anyone know why the wifi light would keep blinking?  I can understand for Interent obviously, but now it's just constant.    Trying nethogs but it shows only this connection.  Should I try anything for intrusion testing or is nethogs enough?
[22:17] <leafybasil> EriC^, yeah hit that already but it doesn't seem to do anything
[22:18] <k1l_> darlek: sometimes its just a bad driver.
[22:19] <EriC^> leafybasil: try xbacklight -set 40
[22:19] <postmodern> is ubuntu 15.04 stable enough to upgrade to?
[22:20] <k1l_> postmodern: yes
[22:20] <leafybasil> EriC^, I tried both the dec/inc and set commands, but none worked, I did however find /sys/class/backlight/gmux_backlight/brightmess which does :D
[22:20] <leafybasil> EriC^, thank you so much fr these last two answers, so close to having my system ready
[22:20] <k1l_> postmodern: if you care a lot about stablenes you might want to stay at LTS anyway
[22:20] <shiznix> brainwash ikonia psusi: trying to use upstart in a desktop other than unity, fluxbox in this case
[22:21] <k1l_> shiznix: which ubuntu version?
[22:21] <shiznix> i can run the upstart process as 'upstart --user' and this gets the upstart processes running nicely, just none of the $UPSTART_* env variables are set
[22:21] <shiznix> k1l_: 15.04
[22:22] <darlek> How to check your system for someone else using your wifi?  To verify it?
[22:22] <k1l_> shiznix: since 15.04 systemd is the standard init
[22:22] <shiznix> not for desktop services, systemd is used for system/.boot services
[22:22] <brainwash> he isn't talking about upstart as system init
[22:22] <brainwash> shiznix: look at /etc/upstart-xsessions
[22:26] <psusi> postmodern, if you are on 14.10 you don't have a whole lot of choice... it is no longer supported
[22:27] <doomlord> can ubuntu run a single-system-image cluster
[22:27] <brainwash> psusi: it's already july?
[22:28] <ObrienDave> ok, end of next month ;P
[22:29] <leafybasil> EriC^, totally random but do you know if its possible to bind one key to multiple keys?  Like CTRL and ALT both to CMD on my macbook
[22:29] <psusi> ohh, that's right... they did decide on 9 months rather than 7
[22:30] <EriC^> leafybasil: yeah, with xbindkeys, or try first settings > keyboard > shortcuts
[22:30] <leafybasil> EriC^, under dwm...?
[22:30] <leafybasil> EriC^, I should have prefixed the question properly
[22:31] <EriC^> leafybasil: don't know about dwm
[22:31] <EriC^> xbindkeys is universal though
[22:31] <leafybasil> EriC^, np, I assume it will respect xbindkeys
[22:31] <leafybasil> Yeah, makes sense
[22:31] <EriC^> i wrote that tiny program if you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/11611909/
[22:31] <brainwash> xmodmap
[22:32] <EriC^> ./program /path/to/brightness <value>
[22:32] <leafybasil> bricknha1mer,
[22:32] <EriC^> you can set it as a shortcut and give it the backlight or keyboard brightness file
[22:32] <lotuspsychje> good evening to all
[22:32] <leafybasil> brainwash, EriC^ perhaps I should explain better... I use CMD now for all my normal navigation in DWM, but I would also like to use CMD for other shortcuts like find, close window etc
[22:33] <EriC^> but you need to do sudo chown root: <program> && sudo chmod +s <program>
[22:34] <shiznix> brainwash: thanks, by adding 'fluxbox' entry to that file at least gets upstart trying to start on login
[22:34] <shiznix> unfortunately the login hangs at lightdm login screen :/
[22:36] <EriC^> leafybasil: if you use it do sudo chmod 4700 <program>
[22:36] <shiznix> guess upstart will only work on those few desktops listed in /etc/upstart-xsessions
[22:36] <Jeph_ch> hello guys
[22:36] <Jeph_ch> I'm back with my problem of installation
[22:36] <shiznix> interestingly xfce is listed so i wonder how that could work and yet not fluxbox
[22:37] <brainwash> shiznix: maybe. I would check the logs
[22:37] <marlon99rocks> on lixus on play how do i use key activator
[22:37] <Jeph_ch> It seem it's the usb creator on ubuntu that corrupt the usb or what
[22:37] <marlon99rocks> for microsoftoffice
[22:37] <Jeph_ch> I've triek with 3 different usb ans I have the save result
[22:38] <lotuspsychje> !warez | marlon99rocks
[22:38] <Jeph_ch> the sytem stops a 33% formating
[22:38] <lotuspsychje> Jeph_ch: error?
[22:38] <Jeph_ch> this is the error
[22:38] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Did the self integrity test succeed this time?
[22:38] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, what size USB?
[22:38] <hacker_> hi
[22:39] <Jeph_ch> Creating ext2 file system for /boot0,0,0) (sdb)... in partition #1 of scsi (
[22:39] <lotuspsychje> Jeph_ch: wich ubuntu are you on?
[22:39] <ObrienDave> oh lordy, use ext4
[22:39] <Jeph_ch> 16 go the second usb
[22:39] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Did the self integrity test succeed this time?
[22:39] <Jeph_ch> 4g0 the first one
[22:39] <ObrienDave> 4GB is not big enough for full install
[22:39] <Jeph_ch> not at alle the system integrity fails
[22:40] <Jeph_ch> self integrity pardon
[22:40] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Then don't even bother trying to install.
[22:40] <Jeph_ch> can I try net install for ubuntu server?
[22:40] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: Telling us about errors during install when you know the media is bad will just waste the time of those that didn't see that history.
[22:41] <cdnchris> Ok here's an interesting one - new laptop, UEFI - i've got secure boot turned off, legacy boot enabled. I can boot to an Ubuntu ISO and I've used GParted to wipe the partition table. When I run the installer, I can't find a partition to install to!
[22:41] <ObrienDave> all this time over a bad ISO????
[22:41] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: From here on out, don't even start the installer until you have run the integrity test and it has succeeded.
[22:41] <hacker_> hey guys
[22:41] <trism> shiznix: it just needs an upstart session file, I wrote one for awesome a while ago http://paste.ubuntu.com/11612206/ ~/.config/upstart/awesome.conf , it should work in 14.04 at least
[22:41] <Jeph_ch> sorry guys
[22:41] <hacker_> do any of you use metasploit
[22:41] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: disabled fastboot also mate?
[22:41] <lotuspsychje> !warez | hacker_
[22:41] <Jeph_ch> is it a problem with my ubuntu laptop?
[22:41] <cdnchris> I boot back into the ISO, run GParted and see an unallocated drive totally blank, but Windows boots when
[22:42] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: yep
[22:42] <Jordan_U> Jeph_ch: What is the md5sum of the iso you're using?
[22:42] <the_human_fly> not smart to bring that stuff up in here, hacker_
[22:42] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, no, it's just a bad DL. keep trying until you get a GOOD iso file
[22:42] <EriC^> leafybasil: my bad, sudo chmod 4755 <program>
[22:42] <Jeph_ch> oups md5 I dont know
[22:42] <cdnchris> Windows boots when I don't mess with the boot order or manually select
[22:42] <hacker_> i'm a pen tester
[22:42] <Jeph_ch> How shoud I proceed please
[22:42] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: fastboot and secureboot?
[22:42] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: both disabled
[22:42] <the_human_fly> tried the kali linux irc?
[22:42] <tgm4883> hacker_: questionable
[22:43] <Jeph_ch> to be certain my download is correct
[22:43] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: thats weird indeed, wich ubuntu version are you trying?
[22:43] <hacker_> and help people with security issues
[22:43] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: 15.04
[22:43] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: how do you know your download is correct if you don't know the md5sum?
[22:43] <k1l_> hacker_: if you are a pentester then you have enought motivation to read the documentation to know what you are doing. for all the other kiddies trying to hack the neighbours wifi: this is the wrong place
[22:43] <Jeph_ch> I'm downloading directly from ubuntu.com
[22:43] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: did you try with any other version of ubuntu?
[22:43] <Jeph_ch> not at all guys sorry
[22:43] <Jordan_U> !md5 | Jeph_ch
[22:44] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: just because you downloaded it from ubuntu.com doesn't mean that it wasn't corrupted during download
[22:44] <k1l_> Jeph_ch: there can go a lot wrong on a download. so better check the md5sum of the iso if its ok.
[22:44] <Jeph_ch> hummm
[22:44] <the_human_fly> that guy... sheesh... "hey, guys...know how to hack??".... really?
[22:44] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: not yet, but I did try from a debian installer.. and same thing.
[22:44] <Jeph_ch> let's me cheick that site a confirm the integrity of my download
[22:44] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: good idea
[22:44] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, if you can use torrents, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/
[22:44] <k1l_> the_human_fly: dont mind them. they left anyway
[22:45] <tgm4883> ObrienDave: and if not, zsync to the rescue!
[22:45] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: can you boot into liveusb?
[22:45] <ObrienDave> zsync +1
[22:45] <Jeph_ch> of course I have a torrent client
[22:45] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: did you download it using the torrent?
[22:45] <Jeph_ch> I'm on ubuntu vivid laptop
[22:45] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: yep. and when I run gparted from the liveusb it shows a blank partition map - all unallocated
[22:45] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, use the torrent. no MD5 needed
[22:46] <Jeph_ch> No I dowloaded from firefox browser and also from google
[22:46] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: what happens when you install ubuntu
[22:46] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: check the MD5
[22:46] <the_human_fly> just be careful about what you're downloading...
[22:46] <the_human_fly> double check the url
[22:46] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: it gets to the partitioning section and only sees the usb drive
[22:47] <Jeph_ch> I'm going to download by torrent
[22:47] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: that sounds really like fastboot enabled...are you sure its off>?
[22:47] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, if you can use torrents, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ *I share these files*
[22:47] <shiznix> trism: great! trying it now :)
[22:47] <tgm4883> Jeph_ch: just check the md5
[22:47] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: changed hardware in your system recently? ssd?
[22:47] <tgm4883> geez, it's like a 60 second test
[22:47] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: I'll check again. No recent changes
[22:47] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: wich brand is your system?
[22:48] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: You said that you used GParted to wipe the partition table, so a completely unallocated drive seems to be what you should expect.
[22:48] <ObrienDave> tgm4883, we already know it's bad. he said so
[22:48] <tgm4883> ObrienDave: IIRC he said the burned cd was bad, not the ISO
[22:48] <cdnchris> Jordon_U: but the installer doesn't see it as a target to install to
[22:48] <tgm4883> ObrienDave: the test from the live media that is
[22:49] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: You can press tab to automatically complete nicknames.
[22:49] <cdnchris> Jordan_U: oops. still learning IRC
[22:49] <OerHeks> fastboot/secureboot machine?
[22:49] <lotuspsychje> !tab | dcn
[22:49] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: Please pastebin the output of "sudo wipefs /dev/sdX" where "sdX" is the device node for the drive you're trying to install to.
[22:50] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: yes, and he cant see his hd in setup partitions creen
[22:51] <cdnchris> Jordan_U: will give it a go.. here's an interesting one - when I boot into the debian installer, it reads devices and pops a screen that says hey, looks like you have other OS installed in BIOS compatibility mode, want to force UEFI
[22:52] <cdnchris> Jordan_U lotuspsychje OerHeks : If Windows is installed in BIOS compatibility mode, does that change things?
[22:52] <the_human_fly> cdnchris, why not just install debian than overwrite it afterwords with whatever distro you want?
[22:52] <cdnchris> the_human_fly: because debian has the same problem - it won't see /dev/sda
[22:52] <shiznix> trism: literally awesome, that transposed nicely to fluxbox and now $UPSTART_SESSION gets set :)
[22:52] <the_human_fly> oh
[22:53] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: It's cumbersome to dual boot when one OS requires booting via BIOS and the other requires booting via UEFI.
[22:53] <trism> shiznix: excellent
[22:53] <shiznix> and still had to also add that 'fluxbox' entry to /etc/upstart-xsessions
[22:54] <cdnchris> Jordan_U: that's why i'm just going to wipe and go Ubuntu all the way
[22:54] <the_human_fly> it's a shame that installing OS's is getting more difficult all the time. It should be getting easier.
[22:55] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: confirmed fast startup disabled
[22:56] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: what system brand do you have?
[22:56] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: Dell XPS 15 (early 2015)
[22:56] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: sure your hd is still alive?
[22:57] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: just booted to Windows fine
[22:57] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: I'm still waiting for the output from wipefs, which I expect will tell you that the drive contains RAID metadata, which will prevent good installers from continuing so that they don't desync an array by writing to the drives directly.
[22:57] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: ^^
[22:57] <the_human_fly> are you unable to flash the bios, chris?
[22:57] <Jordan_U> cdnchris: Unfortunately, most of said "good" installers aren't actually good enough to clearly explain to the user that that's what they're doing.
[22:58] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje: legacy boot enabled, secure boot disabled. doesn't matter if I boot to legacy with the installer or UEFI same result
[22:58] <cdnchris> Jordan_U: booting back into liveusb to run the output
[22:58] <lotuspsychje> !uefi | cdnchris doublecheck all these steps again
[22:58] <Jordan_U> lotuspsychje: As I said above, this is probably just a simple case of stale RAID metadata.
[22:59] <cdnchris> Jordan_U: Crap. totally forgot that intel RST is enabled. Let me disable that from the windows side and then retry
[22:59] <OerHeks> cdnchris, check fastboot is off
[22:59] <Jeph_ch> cool guys
[22:59] <cdnchris> OerHeks: off, confirmed
[22:59] <OerHeks> that could cause not seen hdd nor devices in live mode
[22:59] <Jeph_ch> I dowloaded with torrent and the md5 correspond
[22:59] <cleanzragz> Hey OerHeks
[22:59] <Jeph_ch> 487f4a81f22f8597503db3d51a1b502e
[22:59] <lotuspsychje> Jordan_U: yeah, but a dell xps should be able to run ubuntu right out of the box right
[23:00] <Jeph_ch> the other 5 download I made directly from ubuntu website fail the test
[23:00] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, ok, now try unetbootin to the USB stick with the GOOD file
[23:00] <Jeph_ch> but why?? this is the first time in my live I have a problem with an Iso
[23:01] <cleanzragz> Jeph_ch the_human_fly Jordan_U hey dogz
[23:01] <cdnchris> folks thanks this may take a bit.. wrangling some tiny humans while I'm trying to do this.. oooooh blue screen in windows trying to disable RST
[23:01] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, who knows? you transferred 10,000,000,000 bits. any ONE could cause this error
[23:03] <Jeph_ch> hummm
[23:03] <the_human_fly> I'm assuming there are no admins on
[23:03] <ObrienDave> there ALWAYS here
[23:03] <cleanzragz> Jeph_ch: you humm on the_human_fly
[23:03] <the_human_fly> I need one to dm me
[23:03] <Jeph_ch> really complcated for me of this world I'm used with plug and play stuff
[23:03] <cdnchris> now I'm getting the expected response - no boot device
[23:03] <Jeph_ch> I's a good  school with linux
[23:03] <cleanzragz> cdnchris: dumb
[23:04] <k1l_> the_human_fly: if there is an issue inside the ubuntu channels report in #ubuntu-ops
[23:04] <ObrienDave> !behelpful | cleanzragz
[23:04] <cleanzragz> !ops the_human_fly
[23:04] <Jeph_ch> ah sorry it's an interjection where I'm comming in Africa
[23:05] <Jeph_ch>  it's like really?? or whaoo? or unbielivable?? under other skies
[23:05] <lotuspsychje> Jeph_ch: keep it ubuntu related mate
[23:05] <bazhang> Jeph_ch, please stay on topic
[23:05] <Jeph_ch> ok
[23:05] <Jeph_ch> :)
[23:05] <Jeph_ch> ubtbootin is doing the job at the moment
[23:06] <ObrienDave> Jeph_ch, like any new OS, it takes time to learn the in' and outs. patience grasshopper :)
[23:06] <cdnchris> I think I was booting into Windows cached on the SSD
[23:06] <the_human_fly> !ops cleanzragz
[23:06] <Jeph_ch> We have patience in africa  so I'm good to go :)
[23:07] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: did you fix it?
[23:11] <tard_magnet> anyway to block a user by ip
[23:12] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje Jordan_U OerHeks thanks for your help - it was Intel RST
[23:12] <k1l_> tard_magnet: report it to #freenode and use ignore
[23:12] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | Jordan_U
[23:12] <k1l_> !ignore
[23:13] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: explain what you changed plz?
[23:13] <cdnchris> lotuspsychje Jordan_U OerHeks I turned off Intel Rapid Storage Technology
[23:13] <lotuspsychje> cdnchris: tnx for feedback
[23:13] <tard_magnet> that cleanragz idiot keeps coming in under different nicks and dm'ing.... nevermind...I'll just try to ignore them
[23:14] <OerHeks> cdnchris, nice machine
[23:14] <k1l_> tard_magnet: if they are in here again report it to #ubuntu-ops . if they are not in here than report it to #freenode
[23:14] <cdnchris> OerHeks, except they just introduced a newer new xps 15
[23:15] <cdnchris> OerHeks, but it is a beast.
[23:18] <tard_magnet>  /ignore *!*@38.95.109.37

[23:43] <k1l_> yeah, he is too confused now with #ubuntu+1
[23:44] <Alkalino> Ok here I go.
[23:44] <NegativeFlare> k1l_: sorry
[23:44] <Alkalino> im trying to install ubuntu 15.04 but it say couldn't write bytes pipe broke
[23:44] <Alkalino> i left a 50gb space on disc for installation
[23:45] <Alkalino> and it keeps saying so no matter if is "trying ubuntu" or "installing ubuntu"
[23:45] <NegativeFlare> Alkalino: that's really weird
[23:45] <Pozitron> i want to install BlueZ;but when i run "configure" command,it says "GLib>=2.6".I upgraded gnome;but it doesnt change.
[23:46] <Alkalino> NegativeFlare I Know
[23:46] <Alkalino> does it helps knowing that my laptop is >2010 so it has the "EUFI" thing
[23:47] <Alkalino> I have turned it off an on and nothing changes
[23:47] <NegativeFlare> Alkalino: Are you sure the ISO verifies with the MD5 of the one online>?
[23:47] <Alkalino> I have recently installe 14.04 to a <2010 laptop and went ok
[23:47] <NegativeFlare> You might have gotten a bad ISO
[23:47] <Pozitron> what is your Ubuntu's version?UEFI doesnt support 32 bit ubuntu
[23:47] <Alkalino> yes i did that and there's nothing wrong
[23:48] <Alkalino> is the same one
[23:48] <Alkalino> did I say that the loading screen keeps appearing
[23:48] <Alkalino> the error message just appear for 2 secs
[23:49] <Alkalino> and after that the loading screen that never quites
[23:49] <LonelyDanbo> I'm having trouble with an app in WINE playing MIDI, though regular audio works fine. I notice a lot of pages mention ALSA but I seem to recall that ALSA broke my audio from working in Ubuntu. {I'm in Xubuntu.} I installed Timidity because it sounded like I needed that to play MIDI.
[23:52] <Aasim_Arch> hi
[23:53] <Alkalino> Aasim_Arch: hi
[23:54] <aasim> wats up Alkalino
[23:58] <hplc> hi, how do i get ubuntu to update whatever can be updated with source/apt-build, whenever theres a chance that can bring an update the apt-get didnt have
[23:58] <hplc> i.e when sources can bring in an update apt-get cant
[23:59] <hplc> sometimes the prebuilt ones are just too old in the repo
[23:59] <xangua> hplc: if by sources you mean a program you compiled, you have to manually update it
[23:59] <aasim> any one here use elementary
