[00:04] did you check dmesg for any of those messages [00:04] yea i did grep and manual search, no findings [00:04] Thats good [00:04] why does /etc/apt/sources.list show different repositories than /etc/apt/sources.list.d [00:04] ? === wook is now known as Guest15912 [00:05] /msg nickserv identify win98sux [00:05] Fleet: sources.list are the ubuntu sources, sources.list.d contains user added repositories === Guest15912 is now known as ost [00:05] ki7rw id change your password lol.. [00:05] yep [00:06] kie4li#B [00:06] 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] and what about win me and vista? :P [00:06] anyway, anyone know what tcp port 20829 is? i don't see it listed in the list of tcp ports [00:06] Fleet: in sources.list.d they are added, like PPAs [00:06] random high-number port [00:06] ki7rw: sure it's not a source port of something? [00:07] maybe [00:07] cq cq cq [00:07] 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] ki7rw: netstat -an | grep 20829 [00:07] i have skype running but i didn't think it would use that port [00:07] perhaps it's the way they were added that makes the difference? [00:07] Fleet: well if they're in sources.list, you added them in a weird way [00:08] i.e. when they were installed they added their own repositories [00:08] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:20829 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [00:08] ki7rw: lsof -i :20829 [00:09] ki7rw: everything about 1024 is a non standard port as per IANA [00:09] it's skype [00:09] no it's not allocated [00:09] wish i could remember all these commands [00:09] just because a program uses a given port doesn't mean it's specific to that [00:09] write some notes, that's how you learn [00:09] yeah it picks a random free high-number port [00:09] so next time you run skype it'll probz choose a different one [00:10] these commands aren't what i usually need - even if i write notes i'd probably lose them [00:11] ki7rw: so learn not to, good lord [00:11] we can't help you with paper management [00:12] Ranger15 so.. now its in the freaking list.. [00:13] shaque_ what did you do [00:13] nothing lol [00:13] just tried the command again [00:14] nice [00:14] i wonder if modprob fixed it, or the package i had to install for that command did :s [00:14] modprobe might have [00:14] what does modprobe do exactly? [00:14] * ki7rw has a password manager - now to look for a command word manager? [00:15] add modules [00:15] adds [00:15] to the kernel? sorry this part of linux is new to me [00:15] 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] wonder if it was there befor [00:15] e [00:16] I think I understand now; thanks, Ben64 :-] [00:16] 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] 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] how do I find out, by rebooting? [00:17] apt-get purge dovecot* [00:17] 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] Ranger15 will rebooting and using lsmod tell me if its there? and if not how do i enable it by default? [00:19] It should stay [00:19] 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] ... (assuming your BIOS is configured to boot from sdb). [00:19] 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] 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. [00:21] What about apt-get autoremove ? [00:21] shaque_ But it would not hurt to try while we are working on it. [00:22] " Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were one mass, and We tore them apart? And we made from water every living thing. Will they not believe?" - Quran (The final book revealed by Allah - the creator of the heavens and earth) --------------- [00:22] Oh people, Worship Allah - alone with no partners and testify that Muhammad is his final messenger - Following prophet Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Allah is one. The Creator of the heavens and the earth. Believe in Him and give thanks to Him as all praise is due to Him. Master of the Day of Judgement. Ultimate success is with Him. [00:22] mikubuntu: what are you using to put the image on? file system to fat32 if you want fat32 on it. [00:23] SchrodingersScat: ok, set filesys to fat32, what about all the other values? [00:25] 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] To be honest I am not really sure, It just helped me couple of times [00:26] Okay. Thank you. This has been pretty frustrating now, I might just wipe the entire thing and start everything over [00:26] alright give me a few mins n ill check it out [00:28] Guest76733: you purged a package and reinstalled and then it said it won't replace anything you deleted before [00:28] ? [00:28] mikubuntu: up to you with how much space you want to give it. some tools may overwrite it anyway though. [00:28] Hi. Why am I getting this error: E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2 ?? [00:28] !info kulelu88 [00:28] Package kulelu88 does not exist in vivid [00:28] lol [00:28] EriC^: yes that’s correct.

Something is really broken [00:30] Does anybody use docker here? [00:30] Guest76733: can you type sudo apt-get purge [00:30] I’ll do it now [00:30] Okay, did it. [00:31] Guest76733: ok, can you type sudo apt-get install and pastebin what you get? [00:31] in paste.ubuntu.com? [00:31] Sure. Please give me 20 seconds [00:31] When trying to run a dockerfile, I get that error (E: Unable to locate package python-gtk2)... [00:32] 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] Just needed your magic words [00:33] Guest76733: ok, cool :D [00:34] 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?

Thank you so much, you just spared me hours of unnecessary work! :) [00:35] stoiker2: What distribution are you currently booted into? [00:35] Guest76733: great, no problem! :) [00:36] SchrodingersScat: i have no idea, that's why i'm here asking for help [00:36] mikubuntu: that's fine then, apply the changes [00:36] Jordan_U, Ubuntu [00:37] SchrodingersScat: with '1' free space preceding? and '0' free space following? [00:38] mikubuntu: I don't think there's anything you can do about the 1 preceding [00:39] stoiker2: OK, and that is the distribution currently booted by default by your boot firmware? [00:40] yes. [00:41] stoiker2: Great. Please pastebin the output of "cat /boot/grub/custom.cfg". [00:41] shaque_ did you reboot? [00:45] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/cwZKKMfv [00:46] 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] Ranger15 another 10 mins, waiting for 30 more pages to print first [00:47] Jordan_U, I don't === someon is now known as someone [00:48] stoiker2: Ahh, I see the problem. [00:49] stoiker2: This should be the contents: http://paste.debian.net/205431/ , with the '{' on the same line as the menuentry command. [00:49] `$ sudo update-grup` don't work, after i install new kernel 3.16.0-38 [00:49] stoiker2: My mistake.

[00:50] mikubuntu: hit the button with the "..." to find the iso you want to load. [00:51] stoiker2: Unfortunately, yes. [00:51] okay; trying it [00:52] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11600502/ [00:54] 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] 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] Jordan_U: Thanks [00:56] Jordan_U, no dice. It says Press any key to continue. and it goes back to the selection screen. [00:56] 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] stoiker2: What partition contains the /boot/ partition used with your encrypted install? === ika is now known as Guest56250 [00:58] some other partition on the third disk [00:59] stoiker2: Please determine the UUID or device name of that partition. [00:59] and use that UUID instead of the encrypted disk UUID in the same code? [01:00] 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] OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-internal-b14) [01:00] OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode) [01:00] 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 === Guest56250 is now known as IkaB [01:01] 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] !java | dave_ [01:01] dave_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [01:01] dave_: look into 'update-alternatives' [01:02] Jordan_U, okay, I'll try it. [01:02] daftykins, thank you [01:02] stoiker2: Did you find out the appropriate UUID? [01:03] Ranger15 I have to go [01:03] but its there now! [01:04] upon reboot [01:04] so ty [01:04] i guess i just had to enable it? >.> i dunno the whole thing confuses me lol [01:04] anyway ty! cya and thank you so much! [01:10] 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] stoiker2: Please pastebin your new menuentry. [01:14] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/vXhaxLJD [01:15] stoiker2: How is that different from what it was previously? You say you got a step further, but what did you change? [01:16] I changed the UUID [01:16] your second revision is basically what it is [01:17] hello xubunters [01:18] stoiker2: Why didn't you get the same result when I asked you to use my second revision then? [01:19] 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] I used the wrong UUID; you had it correct [01:21] 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] 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] no lights blinking [01:22] stoiker2: Can you be at the grub shell and on IRC (from a different machine) at the same time? [01:23] Jordan_U, I thought the UUID was your UUID and I had to modify it. Went ahead of myself. [01:23] Yes. I'll use stoiker 3 === someon is now known as someone [01:24] 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] 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] Grayman: What is a 32 bit vs 64 bit wireless adaptor? [01:27] Jordon if you look at the adapter if lshw you will see line that list it. I thought it strange too. [01:29] mikubuntu, why not 14.04. Try that first. [01:30] 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] mikubuntu, ok [01:32] kostcon any idea why i might be getting the black screen? [01:32] stoiker2: Please tell me how many of your three drives appear to be listed in grub's "ls". [01:32] stroiker3: ^^ [01:32] almost there, Jordan_U [01:33] Oh! Hey! It worked [01:33] It took two boots [01:33] WOO! [01:33] Thanks, Jordan_U ! Time to kick back and relax. [01:34] stroiker3: I'm glad it's working now :) [01:34] 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] !md5sum [01:35] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:35] ok [01:37] yes!

[03:03] no it's already installed [03:03] mikubuntu be careful with dd, make sure to use the right syntax or you can ruin your system [03:03] daftykins: never seen it on my system [03:03] that's because it's a command line utility [03:04] they don't tend to leap up and down in front of you :) [03:04] mikubuntu: anyway isn't this mini 10 some old rubbish netbook? [03:04] Bashing-om: Ok, thanks :) [03:04] mikubuntu open terminal and type man dd [03:04] it will give your info on the program [03:05] xiaorb: given the above it is clear that that is NOT going to help this user. [03:05] 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] daftykins: maybe not right now, perhaps in the future he will correlate [03:06] lol. [03:06] xD lo [03:06] l [03:06] mikubuntu: no it probably downloaded it somewhere [03:06] * xiaorb was doing yoda voice in brain [03:06] but anyway i would not expect for much from netbooks in this day and age [03:06] my advice is to throw them away [03:06] yeah really hit it with a hammer first [03:07] 1 [03:07] hihi [03:07] this is test message [03:07] goodbye!

[03:11] *sigh* they got rid of all the good factoids [03:13] 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] ObrienDave: might've been !behelpful that one [03:14] sometimes a good capacitor drain does wonders [03:14] !behelpful [03:14] As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [03:14] yea, that one. thanks :) [03:14] 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] daftykins: ok, i'll try [03:15] easier way is to burn ISO to DVD, use the live system to install it to the stick [03:16] i do all my stick installs that way [03:16] 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] help [03:16] xiaorb: regardless that's not cool here [03:16] ObrienDave: if you're talking to me, the target machine doesn't have any disc drives, its just a little netbook [03:16] ok [03:17] dang i hate netbooks already ;P [03:17] i have mysql workbench on my Elementary OS [03:17] daftykins, exactly, that was my apology [03:17] they were terrible when new and have only gotten worse [03:17] !elementary | aaana [03:17] aaana: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution.

How do I remove evolution without installating abiword? === nano is now known as Guest65907 === Guest65907 is now known as citroniks [06:34] limbera, Why do you want to move the ssh port? Are you familar with fail2ban? Just install fail2ban instead. [06:34] i was planning on doing both [06:34] if you move the port there will be almost no hits against it. [06:34] So nothing for fail2ban to do on a non-standard port. [06:34] is that not a good thing? [06:35] But on the other hand with fail2ban active there isn't a need to move the port either. [06:35] It isn't bad or good. It just is what it is. [06:35] ok [06:35] sure [06:36] To be clear it is okay to move the port. A lot of people do. [06:37] I don't on my servers.

[10:57] i need some help configuring vpn, it appears in gray and i cant save the new connection i create [10:57] i want to connect to my university [10:57] knx: I guess somewhere under .config/ -- I havent used that terminal myself yet. [10:58] okey [10:59] you may need to instal some of the needed VPN package dependancies to set up your open vpn to your likeling [11:01] 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...... === Guest2710 is now known as citroniks [11:01] to get vpn working were you given an import file that explains all the needed settings for your connection [11:02] BuzzardBuzz no my connection has user and password so i choose this option in openvpn [11:02] bekks: http://pastebin.com/c4RG38DH [11:03] you need to know much more than just login username and password to get a connection working [11:05] 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] BuzzardBuzz the server name (tunelsalu.udl.cat) where i want to connect just it.... [11:05] this is in linux ? in windows they didnt ask me for anything like you say.... [11:06] the additional things are needed and usually provided with an import file that contains this data [11:07] 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] what platform the vpn uses is independant of the connection parameters that are used for making a vpn tunnel connection [11:09] it sounds like you are explaining that the default connection parameters worked fine for a connection that you have made previously [11:12] 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] 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] BuzzardBuzz Is in spanish but easy to understand http://imagebin.ca/v/24IMbAjxn8iI [11:18] 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] bekks: are you there ? [11:19] do you have the network-manager-openvpn-gnome package installed? === grep is now known as Guest94175 [11:20] 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] 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. === gms is now known as Guest43441 [11:25] Hi [11:27] 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] It says no certificate, i didnt use any certificate in windows [11:29] BuzzardBuzz ninguno in english is nothing no certificate sorry [11:29] maybe i am having issue with trying to read spanish, i read english much better [11:32] 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] or the save button is grayed out? [11:35] BuzzardBuzz as you can see in the attached image the save button is grayed out [11:35] ive tried the same as root so is not about permissions i think... [11:36] eduardo_: did you install "network-manager-openvpn"? [11:36] BuzzardBuzz Guardar is save in english... so you have a free master class in spanish ajajajjaja [11:37] bekks yes, because without it i wouldnt have the option to enter in settings to configure a new vpn connection [11:38] eduardo_: ah ok. [11:38] 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] bekks could you take a look to the little tutorial i want to "import" to ubuntu....http://imagebin.ca/v/24INV3jhtFR3 [11:40] 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] the server certificate is not optional for this type of connection for openvpn [11:42] 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] did you provide the windows tutorial to preview? [11:43] if you did i misunderstood where you provided that [11:46] 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] download it is a pdf [11:48] ok because the posted link just shows a missing picture for the windows tutorial for my browser [11:49] BuzzardBuzz you click on the missing picture and downloads a pdf file... [11:49] let me try that [11:49] 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] BuzzardBuzz as point protocal doesnt work either... i could pass as private my login and pass to try.... [11:59] 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] 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] 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] i beleive that one certificate is the least possible for an open vpn connection, some open vpn connection types use three certificates [12:02] 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] 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] Hiyas all [12:03] the certificate is not installed it is just a file pointer to a file that contains the certificate data information [12:04] Kernel panic - not syncing attempted to kill the idle task! what do i do wrong ? [12:05] BuzzardBuzz is there any option to connect from ubuntu ? Any plan B ? thanks for your patience [12:05] as said i could let my user and pass if you need to test [12:05] 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 === Guest10025 is now known as ahoneybun [12:11] also the url for the desired openvpn connection is currently not pinging as alive right now [12:12] when it becomes alive you can get the certificate from the server and then you can connect to it [12:13] you can get the cetificate from your browser [12:14] for the desired server [12:14] 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] 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] once that is saved then you can connect to it [12:17] for more information about the minimum certificate requirements for any open vpn connection please visit openvpn website === aaron is now known as Guest28227 === Guest28227 is now known as ahoneybun === xiaocai512 is now known as xiaocai === pi- is now known as Guest76857 [12:38] 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] it just says: [12:38] Calculating the changes [12:38] Could not calculate the upgrade [12:38] 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] An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. [12:39] any idea on what I can do? [12:39] benishor, make sure your packages are all up to date first [12:39] apt-get update + apt-get upgrade? [12:40] mikubuntu try booting with acpi_backlight=vendor [12:40] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade benishor [12:41] 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] apparently it can calculate the changes [12:41] thank you BluesKaj! [12:42] let's hope the release will work right out of the box [12:42] benishor: apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade. [12:42] That will update your kernel as well, e.g. [12:43] bekks: yes, I ran dist-upgrade and then do-release-upgrade managed to calculate the differences. thanks! [12:44] Heey guys, question here. How far is ubuntu with the ubuntu phone for HTC one M8? [12:45] folks I am trying to 'sudo apt-get update' but I get this error: [12:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11603179/ [12:45] should I reinstall the whole ubuntu? [12:46] blakwire, it might just be a problem with that mirror hosting the file [12:46] so how to fix? [12:46] blakwire. how long has this been happening? [12:46] today [12:46] just wait a few hours [12:47] maybe one day [12:47] you joking? [12:47] no [12:47] right? [12:47] what are you trying to install blakwire? [12:47] bandrami: sry i was out of the room. isn't that one of the f6 options? [12:47] trying to update the sys [12:47] just sudo apt-get update should work? lol [12:47] compdoc : it feels like you are [12:47] 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] blakwire: Remove that file, try again. [12:48] hi dearest bekks [12:48] how can I or should I do that? [12:48] blakwire: Open a terminal, remove the file. [12:48] gotcha [12:48] and compiz too - it kindda feels like it's leaking (along with all those other apps each leaking too). it adds up [12:49] mikubuntu when you say "f6" do you mean the options to GRUB? [12:49] sure would be nice to have 8GB ram instead of the 4 i've got [12:49] bandrami: is that the option 'acpi=off' ? and if so, should i still have nomodeset ticked as well? [12:50] nomodeset shouldn't be an issue with a black screen; that's normally about the kernel knowing what ACPI mode to use [12:50] keep acpi=off for now, but append acpi_backlight=vendor [12:50] (with a space between them) [12:50] bandrami: when i tick f6, options are acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, nodmraid, nomodeset, and free software only [12:51] Hm [12:51] Reboot, and press shift while it comes up to bring up the GRUB menu. On "Ubuntu X.Y" (or whatever) press "e" [12:51] 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] hmmm .. lol [12:51] still the prblm is there [12:52] the mirrors are not perfect [12:52] bandrami: is that instruction for me [12:53] bekks : ? [12:54] bandrami: oh, i just see your other instruction, about appending acpi+backlight=vendor -- not sure what you mean [12:54] folks ? [12:54] mikubuntu: yes. You need to append the string "acpi_backlight=vendor" (NOT "acpi+backlight=vendor") to the kernel boot string [12:55] 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] why no one helps me? [12:56] bandrami: i couldn't do that without strict supervision -- could you walk me through it? [12:56] hello hello... is bluetoothctl no longer provided by the bluez package? [12:56] 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] just wait a few hours. maybe one day [12:56] mikubuntu: I can try? Is it a different computer from the one you are chatting on now? [12:56] yes -- its an hp mini 1000 netbook [12:56] have it right here beside me [12:58] blakwire, the # in front prevents the repos from being read [12:58] OK. Reboot and press Shift as it comes back up [12:58] You should get a GRUB menu; please tell me what it says [12:58] hi guys, I have a nexus tablet and i am trying to download packages but it says no space available [12:58] 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] OH! You're still on the live media? [12:59] Sorry, that was the part I missed [12:59] bandrami: yes, i cannot get it to boot past that [12:59] 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] # deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner [13:00] OK. Highlight "Try Ubuntu without installing" and press "e". (this may or may not work depending on the bootloader involved.) [13:00] which i belive should be that way [13:00] all the other deblines are without #s folks [13:01] blakwire, you have to place a # in front of the url that is causing the problem [13:01] 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] mikubuntu the platform doesn't care how many partitions you have, though the kernel may [13:02] switched to main server [13:02] 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] BluesKaj: lets see how the main server treats me === raven67854 is now known as Raven67854 [13:04] * BluesKaj shrugs , ok but make sure you update first === parduse is now known as Guest85206 [13:06] mikubuntu: got to run for a bit.

[13:37] grub can boot from iso [13:38] It's not going to load on any machine because of differences in machines. [13:38] t3kg33k remastersys can do that, but i'm not sure if that still exists [13:38] You need original install .iso. [13:38] i was thinking t3kg33k would you use a virtual machine and just save the v disk image on a usb stick [13:39] from the host on each machine [13:39] t3kg33k: https://github.com/mutse/remastersys [13:40] 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] Pazooza: You dont. [13:40] Your install doesn't have all possible drivers like the original. [13:41] Pazooza: Again, I don't think that matters [13:41] Pazooza: They arent needed. [13:41] Try it then. [13:41] I'll check out remastersys. [13:42] hi [13:42] just wanted to say, it's pretty annoying the desktop installer apparently can't do LVM [13:43] (detecting existing ones I mean) [13:43] you should probably put up a warning on the download page that for non-trivial installs it is useless.. [13:43] Trying to install a backup on another machine won't work. [13:43] is there a way I can boot into the alternate installer? [13:43] with the regular live disk [13:44] Pazooza: Why not? [13:44] or do I need to download a completely new iso now [13:44] pazooza, the packages provides kernel modules are the same. Thats where drivers come from. [13:45] I believe I'm with bekks on this one. [13:45] me too, and tried it a few times [13:45] Will Ford software run on a Chevy? [13:45] Worth testing though [13:45] Pazooza: Not the same [13:45] Pazooza: Linux isnt Ford software. [13:45] But Toshiba and Asus are not the same. [13:46] the image will contain the kernel and modules for both [13:46] pazooza: do you know how the linux kernel modules work? Or how the driver concept on linux differs from Windows? [13:47] I know that during installation it compiles and selects what it needs and deletes unneeded software. [13:47] pazooza: during installation, it doesnt copile at all. [13:47] +*compile. Those times are gone for ages. [13:48] Depends on what distribution. [13:48] Ubuntu. [13:48] Manjaro compiles on the fly. [13:48] Ubuntu isnt Manjaro. [13:49] 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] but otherwise it should work lol [13:50] Pazooza Manjaro is Arch based, Ubuntu isnt [13:50] hello to all [13:51] hello chemerou [13:51] A .iso backup is not a .iso install, that's what I'm saying. [13:51] hi chemerou [13:51] hello t3kg33k [13:51] good evening [13:52] That is exactly what I am trying to do, complete a custom .iso install for my personal machines. [13:52] hell traekili [13:53] 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. === Rob_C3 is now known as Rob_C [13:56] 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] like, destroying whatever was there without a warning? [13:56] 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] because that kind of would explain what I'm seeing now === thek is now known as Guest80844 === Guest80844 is now known as TheK__ [13:57] if this is the wrong place to ask installer questions, just send me elsewhere [13:58] chermerou: From what I understand, that is correct. [13:59] t3kg33k, how can I dualboot it along with lubuntu? [14:01] t3kg33k, do i need the 64bit lubuntu iso for UEFI compatibility? [14:01] 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] 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] chermerou: I'm not exactly sure. However, if your machine has 4GB or more you should always use 65-bit [14:02] 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] *64-bit [14:02] t3kg33k, my laptop has 2GB of RAM but the pre-installed OS is Windows 8.1 64bit [14:02] i am guessing, so any ideas of where to look cos this is driving me up the wall? [14:02] i have crappy experience with it [14:03] t3kg33k, i'm also planning to downgrade in windows 7, [14:03] what is the package for launchpad bug filing for the graphical desktop installer? [14:03] chermerou: 64-bit will still work with 2GB of RAM. it won't hurt you if you install the 64-bit of Lubuntu === d__ is now known as Guest42345 [14:04] chermerou: Unless you absolutely have to have Windows, I wouldn't even worry about installing it. [14:05] t3kg33k, i need Windows for work, and Lubuntu for internet :) [14:05] guys someone in here must know how the installer package is named..

[15:58] anyone knows how to setup a vpn ? in windows i can but in ubuntu i need a certificate..... thanks [15:58] 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. === john is now known as Guest138 [16:00] And I'm just wondering if it's supported now (encrypted /boot).

[16:48] 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] MrJones, are you encrypting before you install? that's usually done afterwards afaik [16:49] MrJones, you might have to decrypt the partitions first [16:49] BluesKaj: encrypting / after the install in the running system? how is that supposed to work? [16:49] ObrienDave: I just created them [16:50] MrJones, doesn't the installer ask whether you want the partition encrypted, if that's what you want? [16:51] it even asked me for the password. [16:51] which it let me happily enter [16:51] hey all [16:51] for both sda5_crypt and sda6_crypt [16:51] 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] still it fails to format sda5 as you can see from the screenshot [16:52] because ???

[16:52] MrJones, you can't encrypt / afaik [16:53] ObrienDave: really? any other distribution I have seen can do it.. [16:53] BluesKaj: sda5/6 are crypt containers [16:53] and / and /home are ext4 [16:54] i have been known to be wrong. (does not use crypt) [16:54] can anyone help me to connect to vpn net? [16:55] ObrienDave: it's certainly possible in general, the question is just if the sadly kinda stupid graphical installer can do it.. [16:55] MrJones, ok , that's beyond my scope since I'm like ObrienDave, I don't encrypt === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [16:56] 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] so I rebooted like 999 times to make it forget about them again and retry [16:56] MrJones, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto [16:56] !poweroff [16:56] apparently this method uses knoppix to encrypt / [16:57] ObrienDave: that doesn't seem relevant nowadays [16:57] I'm quite sure the alternate text installer can do it without that much hassle [16:57] sadly I trusted the graphical one to be up to date... but I guess I'll have to redownload ubuntu with the alternate image === aaron is now known as Guest26490 [16:58] 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 === Guest26490 is now known as ahoneybun [17:01] penis [17:02] ot.

[17:06] brainwash: the logic to make this work properly apparently: http://i.imgur.com/QPTZjZJ.png [17:06] 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] now i want to delete everything from HDD with windows and ubuntu [17:06] msa1, you would have to find the equivalent packages for ubuntu [17:06] how to make that from ubuntu level [17:06] 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] 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] MrJones, my only problems with encryption were related to swap. sudo swapoff -a resolved [17:07] can some one help me? i cant turn off my laptop, it reboots instead [17:07] it just doesn't seem to work properly as soon as I try to have more than one formatted encrypted device [17:08] 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] lucas, hold power button for 5 to 10 seconds. that will kill it [17:09] 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] 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] 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] 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] 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] the installer really is kinda awful in comparison.. [17:10] alright I guess I'm gonna download the alternate one and have a try with that [17:10] doesn't seem like I'll still get anywhere with this [17:11] hallo? === anton is now known as Guest57121 [17:11] hello [17:11] MrJones: all I can say is that you have to contact the devs in some way (launchpad or mailing list) [17:12] I already filed a bug for the more horrible instant data loss: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/1462632 [17:12] Ubuntu bug 1462632 in base-installer (Ubuntu) ""Editing" unknown partition to LVM to see if LVM is detected instantlzy destroys what was there, "Quit" does not revert" [Undecided,New] [17:12] how can i enable hardware acceleration in ubuntu 15.04 [17:12] MrJones, ouch [17:14] MrJones: you should file it against ubiquity (Ubuntu live CD installer) [17:14] brainwash: I asked here for the package name but nobody bothered to respond, so I just picked something with installer [17:15] =S [17:16] 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] somewhat understandable [17:18] 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] Hey all, I'm having trouble working out if I'm on UEFI or not, is there a simple way to check? [17:21] boot into BIOS, if it has fastboot, it's UEFI [17:21] leafybasil: ls -l /sys/firmware/efi && echo you have uefi [17:21] even easier LOL [17:22] EriC^^, does the presence of that dir mean it's actually in use? [17:22] yeah [17:22] I'm using a macbook pro and it's been a long time since I set one up [17:23] 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] Whats a "dual image"? [17:24] one that works if dd'ed to usb stick [17:24] (which doesn't apply for a regular iso as far as I'm aware) [17:24] That applies to a "regular iso" as well. [17:24] All our iso's are hybrid [17:25] ah ok [17:25] 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] I'm supposed to just use that iso right? [17:25] or should I download everything in there and do something with it [17:25] NEither nor. [17:25] where is setroubleshoot in ubuntu 14.04 ? i cant find it or sealert ?? selinux... [17:26] MrJones: If you wantthe mini.iso, download the mini.iso [17:26] well it doesn't say what it is so.... do I? [17:26] I want the network install on an usb stick [17:27] !selinux [17:27] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [17:27] !apparmor [17:27] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [17:28] bbl [17:29] 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] MrJones: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/15.04/ [17:29] a mac? [17:29] leafybasil: You dont have to reinstall. Just boot to failsafe and remove the driver. [17:29] nomic, yup [17:29] bekks, how would I do that? Also the intention is to actually use the driver :( [17:30] leafybasil: So which GPU do you have in particular? [17:30] hi [17:31] hi [17:31] bekks, I have i915 and gt 650m [17:31] leafybasil: In a Mac? [17:31] bekks, cant tell which one is actually in use, but i cant change resolution without screen blackout [17:31] bekks, yup? [17:34] i915 is intel [17:34] yup, and the gt 650m is nvidia [17:36] Is there anyone on here? [17:37] I need some help partitioning my system. Could anyone help me with that? [17:38] What are you trying to partition it for? [17:38] Kaneki, yes, if you have aquestion [17:38] the installer will partition your disk automatically [17:38] without you having to specify the sizes of volumes / volumes [17:39] Well... I have 90gb ssd and 1tb hdd. I wanna completely remove windows and install ubuntu 15.04 [17:39] Then you don't even need to partition [17:39] The installer for ubuntu 15.04 will do that automaticly [17:40] Okay, lets stop here for a moment. [17:40] My plan is to remove ei [17:40] Windows* [17:40] the installer can do that [17:41] (I am typing from a tablet) [17:41] Nightray use a live dvd or usb, open gparted, deleted windows partition [17:41] delete* [17:41] And, to use photoshop, ms office and stuff for work from vm with windows inside ubuntu. Is this a good idea? [17:42] Or zho [17:42] Nightray yes, I use a vm for windows xp, only for ms office [17:42] You can use libreoffice for a replacement to msoffice [17:42] Or should I keep windows? [17:42] it can be done. but will not run as fast as native windows [17:42] Nightray you have space enough to have both [17:42] 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] dunno about photoshop on a VM , isn't that somewhat resource intensive? [17:43] Nightray if you want to run windows programs only, then stick to windows [17:43] 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] ? [17:44] I need MS office and photoshop. LibreOffice wont cut it. So, do I have to keep windows or can I use vm? [17:44] yes [17:44] blackfi_sh, yes [17:44] blackfi_sh: why not a USB, it will last more [17:44] Nightray but a vm is not as fast as a normal installation [17:44] blackfi_sh, oh, a CD, NO it will not [17:45] Nightray, think you're better off dual booting windows and ubuntu [17:45] Okay [17:45] 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] 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] Hi does anyone know how to change names in Xchat? [17:46] So I thought of this as a workaround [17:46] Kaneki /nick blah [17:46] Jack_The_Ripper, charging has nothing to do with connecting [17:46] thx :3 [17:46] Jack_The_Ripper: either you keep libimobildevice up to date or keep your iphone in an old iOS release [17:46] Oh, so how do I get it to connect? [17:46] Kaneki, click your name at the bottom [17:47] Jack_The_Ripper, i know nothing about iphones [17:47] o-o it doesnt work? [17:48] i can enter something new but it doesnt change [17:48] Well then. [17:48] Kaneki, start the line /nick [17:49] How do i install libimobildevice? [17:49] find libimobildevice [17:49] !find libimobildevice [17:49] Package/file libimobildevice does not exist in vivid [17:50] Jack_The_Ripper, you might have to get that through a PPA [17:50] !info libimoviledevice4 [17:50] Package libimoviledevice4 does not exist in vivid [17:50] !info libimobiledevice4 [17:50] Jack_The_Ripper: are you trying to get iphone to work?

[17:51] Yes, I am trying to get an iphone to be connected [17:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [17:53] That only goes up to 14.04. Also im running ubuntu mate if it makes a difference. [17:53] is a upgrade from 14.4 LTS to 15.4 good? [17:53] it should not [17:53] 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] Tuxjay: you can not directly upgrade from ubuntu 14.04 to 15.04 if that is what you refer to [17:54] Jack_The_Ripper, it should not make any difference [17:54] Tuxjay, depends on if you want to upgrade OS every 6 months or not [17:54] Hmm, it appears i have libimobildevice installed, checked via synapic. Ok..thats good [17:55] Jack_The_Ripper: have you made an iOS update recently ¿ [17:55] you might need to change a setting on the iphone [17:55] It connects to oen of my iphones fine, but not the other. Same ios version. [17:56] 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] ok thank you ObrienDave [17:58] LTS is good for 3 years [17:58] ObrienDave: 5 years [17:58] right, i run Xubuntu. 3 years for me [17:59] Anyone here have experience with troubleshooting Ubuntu Studio? [17:59] depends on the trouble, just ask [18:01] 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] i have never been able to keep anything JackAudio working [18:02] Jack_The_Ripper: did you get it to work? [18:03] I got one of the iphones to connect, trying the other one now *fingers crossed* [18:03] Damn. Well, I'm just a music producer, not a mad Linux scientist. Lmao. [18:03] Jack_The_Ripper: not sure if this would help, but maybe try idevicepair pair [18:04] if it doesn't work ( you can have to install sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils first btw ) [18:04] TheC4mel, well ardour (?) supports alsa now. no jack required [18:04] Ok, i shall try that. [18:05] ObrienDave: I use ardour! Well, I am going to use ardour, if I can ever get the damn plugins to work. [18:05] TheC4mel, as well as hydrogen [18:05] I don't even think my alsa module is loading correctly, though. [18:07] Ok, so now both my iphone are connected.

[18:38] 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] http://sourceforge.net/projects/systemback/ [18:39] Looks like a handy program [18:39] 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] 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] so, you load the iso and all your personal files are there aswell?

[20:13] From what I read, the latest 3.19 kernel should support newer Touchpad... but it isn't working for me [20:13] 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] 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] I was never interested in running 2 or more primary OS's, I always used a virtual machine [20:17] nahtnam: I see "The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown [20:17] Windows fully . Do you have access to a windows recovry CD ? [20:18] 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] jazzy_, what kind of touchpad do you have? [20:19] jazzy_, or what laptop model? [20:21] 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] tsoutseki: network-manager and nm-applet are pretty good, they're default in ubuntu [20:23] cyberalex4life, ASUS q502L [20:23] cyberalex4life, I just tried the Focaltech-dkms install...going to restart and see if that helps [20:23] 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] cyberalex4life, nice :) thanks [20:25] 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] doh! cyberalex4life NOPE that didn't work :( [20:27] 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] I have a ASUS 500 ultrabook 14.04 and it works fine, but this is the newer ASUS my girlfriend has [20:28] cyberalex4life, I read kernal 3.19 should fix it, but doesn't seem to [20:28] I wonder if the "sometimes doesn't wake from sleep" problem ever got fixed for my Asus 1215B... [20:29] jazzy_, well maybe would fix it, though does not mean that ubuntu would fix it, sorry for disturbing others [20:29] I ended up just buying a 1215N and moving on. [20:29] well gee [20:30] oh well, guess we'll keep using a mouse for now [20:30] thanks cyberalex4life [20:31] jazzy_, try with fedora, or manjaro (I think there are some new realeses: manjaro is rolling release -> also opensuse Tumbleweed) [20:31] hmmm, I think it did work with a live boot, but i'll try again with another distro [20:31] jazzy_, at least you might get a clue of what is fixed and what not [20:31] jazzy_, is the touchpad enabled in windows? [20:31] yeah works find in windows ObrienDave [20:31] k [20:32] fine [20:32] jazzy_, what ubuntu version worked in live mode? [20:33] 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] jazzy_, first check you have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed [20:34] how do i know this is a synaptic touchpad cyberalex4life ? [20:35] jazzy_, synaptics is the driver for linux, it's just a name I guess [20:35] it won't hurt to try that. you can uninstall it if need be [20:35] how should i check if it is install? [20:35] jazzy_, sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [20:36] jazzy_, do that, then a reboot [20:36] ok rebooting now [20:36] it installed [20:36] jazzy_, stop.. [20:36] oh? [20:36] i installed it as you showed cyberalex4life [20:37] jazzy_, no, you should try with the live 14.04 to be sure your touchpad works [20:37] ok [20:37] it does work in windows [20:37] but i'll try a live boot as well [20:37] jazzy_, if it works on live, there may be some workarounds that will fix it [20:39] 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] jazzy_, ok reboot and if it does not work, try the live, then if the live works, come back here === lksdjfkdjf is now known as xfce === jazzy is now known as Guest80024 [20:58] well dang! That didn't work, nor could I get it to live boot into anything [20:58] ...this is jazzy [20:59] 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] 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] Guest80024, did you install kernel 3.19 on ubuntu 14.04? [20:59] I'm sick and tired of getting no results with troubleshooting my audio issues with Ardour music software [21:00] now cyberalex4life ...just did an upgraded to 14.10, then 15.04 [21:00] TheC4mel, have you tried KXStudio chatroom #kxstudio and #opensourcemusicians they might have some good info on that [21:01] Guest80024, well if 15.04 works, and you are ok with another distro, try something with kernel >= 3.19 [21:01] TheC4mel there's also #ubuntustudio, for multimedia questions [21:01] *doesn't work === aaron is now known as Guest74340 === Guest74340 is now known as ahoneybun [21:04] 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?

[21:05] Guest80024: looking now [21:05] !hardware | blib read this too [21:05] blib read this too: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [21:05] they look bulky [21:06] blib with the mini.iso, you can select the software you want to install [21:07] 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] 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!!

[21:43] Jeph_ch: At that point, can you get to a tty by pressing ctrl+alt+F1? [21:43] hey can someone tell me if im cloaked? [21:43] OS-16749: you can /whois yourself [21:45] thanks Jordan [21:45] let's me staronce the installatin and test that [21:45] doesnt seem to be working [21:46] Jeph_ch: If you haven't started yet, first verify the integrity of the install media. [21:46] OS-16749: Please join #freenode for help with using the network. === Luke is now known as Guest45589 === badon_ is now known as badon [21:50] 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] Jeph_ch: That's definitely good to know. That sounds like FakeRAID, which you should avoid. === ika is now known as Guest73277 [21:52] My server is a dl380 g7 with a raid card with 512MB integrated to server [21:52] 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] I've built a raid 5.0 [21:52] with 8 drive of 300GB each [21:53] I'm at the same point 33% partition formatting and it's blocked === gh0strider is now known as Guest8370 [21:54] the itegrity of the media fails [21:54] tough I've dowloaded the the iso several times [21:54] exactly 4 times [21:55] Jeph_ch: What are using to boot the installer from? [21:55] CRtl alt F2 brig me to a terminal page with promt [21:55] I'm using a usb key [21:56] Jeph_ch: are you installing ubuntu server? [21:56] Jeph_ch, in the ubuntu installer, does it see only one drive, or all 8? [21:56] Jeph_ch: Then your USB key is probably silently corrupting data. [21:56] only one drive of 1.8tb [21:56] Jeph_ch, in other words, are you installing to /dev/sda, or /dev/mapper/something or /dev/mdxx? [21:56] Humm [21:56] 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] so I should better try with another usb key [21:57] 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] or try typing dmesg in a tty maybe [21:57] Jeph_ch: Yes, and run the media self-test before trying to install. [21:57] 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] great [21:57] also are these brand new disks, or have they been used before? [21:58] which arrow should I click for more info [21:58] I'm not usin mouse but I can connect one [21:58] server installer doesn't use a mouse [21:58] but let's me first change the usb guys [21:58] thanl you for the tips [21:59] does anyone know what sets the $UPSTART_SESSION env variable ? [22:00] sets it where ? [22:03] shiznix: you mean something other than upstart itself? [22:03] ikonia: in a desktop session [22:03] what do you mean in a desktop session ? [22:03] what exactly are you trying to do [22:04] shiznix, I would imagine it is set by upstart [22:04] 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] leafybasil: what's the command you're typing? [22:05] EriC^, I'm trying 'sudo vim' that file then save [22:05] leafybasil, you're supposed to use echo > to write to it, vim won't do it [22:05] psusi, will give that a go :( [22:06] I tried 'cat' too [22:06] sudo -s, then echo 255 > /sys/blah [22:06] leafybasil: echo 200 | sudo tee /sys/class/leds/smc::keybd_backlight/brightness [22:06] or that ;) [22:06] or sudo bash -c 'echo 200 > /sys/blah' [22:08] 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] psusi: That wont work. Use echo 200 | tee /sys/blah instead. [22:08] *sudo tee [22:08] leafybasil, because it is your shell that interprets the > and tries to open the file, which it can't do [22:09] Hi, I have a naive questions. Does Ubuntu get firefox updates from the package manager? [22:09] lasconic: yes. [22:09] lasoyes [22:09] ok, what about open office? [22:09] leafybasil: sudo doesn't go across the redirection > [22:09] lasconic: Same thing. [22:10] lasconic: yes. it just takes a bit to be tested not to break everything, so it takes a day or 3 [22:10] and why these software and not others ? [22:10] lasconic: libreoffice is in the repos. but that will not get every update, just heavy bug fixes and security fixes [22:10] 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] lasconic: All software in trhe repos will get updated through the repos. [22:10] well that's for sure not true [22:11] most of the software are just not updated [22:11] lasconic: most software only gets heavy bug and security patches, which will not bring it to the latest version number [22:11] ok, how is this decided ? [22:12] lasconic: "will get updated" doesnt mean "will stay on the bleeding edge versions" [22:12] leafybasil, nope [22:12] if I make an update to my software and I consider it's major [22:12] 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] lasconic: the maintainers decide [22:12] ok [22:12] 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] i will talk with the maintainer, thanks [22:12] leafybasil: or write your own setuid c program that gets called and changes it [22:13] 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] wifi light as been going crazy today, any ideas what to check? [22:13] most packages aren't updated except for critical bug fixes and security fixes since often times new versions add new bugs [22:13] EriC^, psusi thanks, sounds like more effort than it's worth to avoid typing a password, don't use it much anyway [22:14] lasconic: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [22:14] 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] leafybasil: if you want google about brightness issues for the screen, cause that happens, might find something [22:14] it's basically the same thing just a different file [22:14] psusi: oh. ty. [22:14] EriC^, screen brightmess is my next woe [22:15] EriC^, but I only have two modes work, and rest [22:15] EriC^, do you happen to know which file that is? [22:16] leafybasil: /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness most likely [22:16] 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] blib, look at some of the Dell ones [22:17] 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] leafybasil: there's a program called xbacklight, might be worth a check [22:17] 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] EriC^, yeah hit that already but it doesn't seem to do anything [22:18] darlek: sometimes its just a bad driver. [22:19] leafybasil: try xbacklight -set 40 [22:19] is ubuntu 15.04 stable enough to upgrade to? [22:20] postmodern: yes [22:20] 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] EriC^, thank you so much fr these last two answers, so close to having my system ready [22:20] postmodern: if you care a lot about stablenes you might want to stay at LTS anyway [22:20] brainwash ikonia psusi: trying to use upstart in a desktop other than unity, fluxbox in this case [22:21] shiznix: which ubuntu version? [22:21] 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] k1l_: 15.04 [22:22] How to check your system for someone else using your wifi? To verify it? [22:22] shiznix: since 15.04 systemd is the standard init [22:22] not for desktop services, systemd is used for system/.boot services [22:22] he isn't talking about upstart as system init [22:22] shiznix: look at /etc/upstart-xsessions [22:26] postmodern, if you are on 14.10 you don't have a whole lot of choice... it is no longer supported [22:27] can ubuntu run a single-system-image cluster [22:27] psusi: it's already july? [22:28] ok, end of next month ;P [22:29] 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] ohh, that's right... they did decide on 9 months rather than 7 [22:30] leafybasil: yeah, with xbindkeys, or try first settings > keyboard > shortcuts [22:30] EriC^, under dwm...? [22:30] EriC^, I should have prefixed the question properly [22:31] leafybasil: don't know about dwm [22:31] xbindkeys is universal though [22:31] EriC^, np, I assume it will respect xbindkeys [22:31] Yeah, makes sense [22:31] i wrote that tiny program if you want http://paste.ubuntu.com/11611909/ [22:31] xmodmap [22:32] ./program /path/to/brightness [22:32] bricknha1mer, [22:32] you can set it as a shortcut and give it the backlight or keyboard brightness file [22:32] good evening to all [22:32] 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] but you need to do sudo chown root: && sudo chmod +s [22:34] brainwash: thanks, by adding 'fluxbox' entry to that file at least gets upstart trying to start on login [22:34] unfortunately the login hangs at lightdm login screen :/ [22:36] leafybasil: if you use it do sudo chmod 4700 [22:36] guess upstart will only work on those few desktops listed in /etc/upstart-xsessions [22:36] hello guys === edo is now known as Guest71693 [22:36] I'm back with my problem of installation [22:36] interestingly xfce is listed so i wonder how that could work and yet not fluxbox [22:37] shiznix: maybe. I would check the logs [22:37] on lixus on play how do i use key activator [22:37] It seem it's the usb creator on ubuntu that corrupt the usb or what [22:37] for microsoftoffice [22:37] I've triek with 3 different usb ans I have the save result [22:38] !warez | marlon99rocks [22:38] marlon99rocks: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[22:46] double check the url [22:46] lotuspsychje: it gets to the partitioning section and only sees the usb drive [22:47] I'm going to download by torrent [22:47] cdnchris: that sounds really like fastboot enabled...are you sure its off>? [22:47] Jeph_ch, if you can use torrents, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ *I share these files* [22:47] trism: great! trying it now :) [22:47] Jeph_ch: just check the md5 [22:47] cdnchris: changed hardware in your system recently? ssd? [22:47] geez, it's like a 60 second test [22:47] lotuspsychje: I'll check again. No recent changes [22:47] cdnchris: wich brand is your system? [22:48] 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] tgm4883, we already know it's bad. he said so [22:48] ObrienDave: IIRC he said the burned cd was bad, not the ISO [22:48] Jordon_U: but the installer doesn't see it as a target to install to [22:48] ObrienDave: the test from the live media that is [22:49] cdnchris: You can press tab to automatically complete nicknames. [22:49] Jordan_U: oops. still learning IRC [22:49] fastboot/secureboot machine? [22:49] !tab | dcn [22:49] dcn: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:49] 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] OerHeks: yes, and he cant see his hd in setup partitions creen [22:51] 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] Jordan_U lotuspsychje OerHeks : If Windows is installed in BIOS compatibility mode, does that change things? [22:52] cdnchris, why not just install debian than overwrite it afterwords with whatever distro you want? [22:52] the_human_fly: because debian has the same problem - it won't see /dev/sda [22:52] trism: literally awesome, that transposed nicely to fluxbox and now $UPSTART_SESSION gets set :) [22:52] oh [22:53] cdnchris: It's cumbersome to dual boot when one OS requires booting via BIOS and the other requires booting via UEFI. [22:53] shiznix: excellent [22:53] and still had to also add that 'fluxbox' entry to /etc/upstart-xsessions [22:54] Jordan_U: that's why i'm just going to wipe and go Ubuntu all the way [22:54] it's a shame that installing OS's is getting more difficult all the time. It should be getting easier. [22:55] lotuspsychje: confirmed fast startup disabled [22:56] cdnchris: what system brand do you have? [22:56] lotuspsychje: Dell XPS 15 (early 2015) [22:56] cdnchris: sure your hd is still alive? [22:57] lotuspsychje: just booted to Windows fine [22:57] 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] lotuspsychje: ^^ [22:57] are you unable to flash the bios, chris? [22:57] 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. === badon_ is now known as badon [22:58] lotuspsychje: legacy boot enabled, secure boot disabled. doesn't matter if I boot to legacy with the installer or UEFI same result [22:58] Jordan_U: booting back into liveusb to run the output [22:58] !uefi | cdnchris doublecheck all these steps again [22:58] cdnchris doublecheck all these steps again: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:58] lotuspsychje: As I said above, this is probably just a simple case of stale RAID metadata. [22:59] Jordan_U: Crap. totally forgot that intel RST is enabled. Let me disable that from the windows side and then retry [22:59] cdnchris, check fastboot is off [22:59] cool guys [22:59] OerHeks: off, confirmed [22:59] that could cause not seen hdd nor devices in live mode [22:59] I dowloaded with torrent and the md5 correspond [22:59] Hey OerHeks [22:59] 487f4a81f22f8597503db3d51a1b502e [22:59] Jordan_U: yeah, but a dell xps should be able to run ubuntu right out of the box right [23:00] the other 5 download I made directly from ubuntu website fail the test [23:00] Jeph_ch, ok, now try unetbootin to the USB stick with the GOOD file [23:00] but why?? this is the first time in my live I have a problem with an Iso [23:01] Jeph_ch the_human_fly Jordan_U hey dogz [23:01] 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] Jeph_ch, who knows? you transferred 10,000,000,000 bits. any ONE could cause this error [23:03] hummm [23:03] I'm assuming there are no admins on [23:03] there ALWAYS here [23:03] Jeph_ch: you humm on the_human_fly [23:03] I need one to dm me [23:03] really complcated for me of this world I'm used with plug and play stuff [23:03] now I'm getting the expected response - no boot device [23:03] I's a good school with linux [23:03] cdnchris: dumb [23:04] the_human_fly: if there is an issue inside the ubuntu channels report in #ubuntu-ops [23:04] !behelpful | cleanzragz [23:04] cleanzragz: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful".

I'm sorry , can I ask questions about the installation of Ubuntu 15.04 here? [23:29] Wow, spam.

[23:47] I have recently installe 14.04 to a <2010 laptop and went ok [23:47] You might have gotten a bad ISO [23:47] what is your Ubuntu's version?UEFI doesnt support 32 bit ubuntu [23:47] yes i did that and there's nothing wrong [23:48] is the same one [23:48] did I say that the loading screen keeps appearing [23:48] the error message just appear for 2 secs [23:49] and after that the loading screen that never quites [23:49] 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] hi [23:53] Aasim_Arch: hi [23:54] wats up Alkalino [23:58] 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] i.e when sources can bring in an update apt-get cant [23:59] sometimes the prebuilt ones are just too old in the repo [23:59] hplc: if by sources you mean a program you compiled, you have to manually update it [23:59] any one here use elementary
