[00:02] <__Myst__> What is fwlps?
[00:03] <__Myst__> Actually
[00:03] <__Myst__> What is fwlps and is it safe to disable?
[00:04] <jeeves_moss> does anyone know how to fix this?  http://pastebin.com/exDWWLWw
[00:04] <linuxuz3r> __Myst__:  hi i think its a wifi property
[00:04] <linuxuz3r> a wifi settings
[00:05] <__Myst__> linuxuz3r: Can I disable it?
[00:05] <linuxuz3r> i dont know
[00:05] <reisio> it probably doesn't control whether your computer explodes or not
[00:05] <linuxuz3r> you can try
[00:06] <__Myst__> I'll shut it off
[00:06] <__Myst__> I heard it helps with an issue I'm having
[00:07] <jeeves_moss> reisio, you still here?
[00:07] <OerHeks> ips and fwlps are power management modules in some realtek nics
[00:08] <reisio> jeeves_moss: what's the problem
[00:08] <__Myst__> OerHeks: Can I safely disable it?
[00:09] <OerHeks> some mention disabling them is giving network a boost, others warn about it.
[00:09] <__Myst__> Warn about it?
[00:09] <__Myst__> How OerHeks ?
[00:09] <jeeves_moss> did you see the pastebin?   I keep getting that over and over again in dmesg, and it causes the system to slow to a crawl, then lock totally up
[00:11] <jeeves_moss> reisio, http://pastebin.com/exDWWLWw
[00:12] <OerHeks> __Myst__, depends on the network devices i guess, try it and see it that works
[00:13] <pavlos> jeeves_moss, are you running ubuntu? which?
[00:15] <pingpingpong> Hi all!
[00:15] <reisio> hi
[00:16] <jeeves_moss> pavlos, yes, 14.04 LTS
[00:16] <pingpingpong> Finally looks like it works. Im new in here.
[00:16] <reisio> gj
[00:17] <jeeves_moss> pingpingpong, we've all been there.  you have to start at the beginning.  at lest you have a GUI to learn.  when I started, I only had a CLI
[00:19] <pingpingpong> Well, i've been in the design field and going to the dev world slowly and a gui is of no good if not done well. And this ios app that I installed is not helping much! :)
[00:20] <pavlos> jeeves_moss, not sure if this might help ... http://www.antojose.com/content/solved-how-fix-mmc-mmc2-controller-never-released-inhibit-bit-bits-error-on-ubuntu-or-linux-mint-poulsbo-chipset-msi-x320-laptop
[00:20] <terryleigh> Hi guys, I'm new to setting up a web server.. I've installed Ubuntu 12 LTS.. I'm busy setting up a virtualenv for a Django installation, which directory should I store the envs?
[00:20] <jeeves_moss> pavlos, sweet, thanks.  I loaded 14.04 onto a Transformer pad.  it's been an up hill challange. I had to SPI a new BIOS into the unit.
[00:21] <jeeves_moss> pavlos, applied that already.  no change
[00:22] <nicomachus> I think I've tried just about every possible solution to format this USB drive to create a live disc, but Startup Disc Creator still says it has 0B free space
[00:23] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, what are you using to make the live disk?  a windows box?
[00:23] <nicomachus> no, 14.04
[00:23] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, are you using DD to make it?
[00:24] <nicomachus> no. just startup disk creator.
[00:24] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, ok, time to get your hands dirty and use DD
[00:24] <ObrienDave> or unetbootin
[00:25] <OerHeks> wipe it.
[00:25] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, do you know what drive it is?  (ie. /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, etc)?
[00:25] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, let's teach good habits
[00:25] <nicomachus> sdb
[00:25] <nicomachus> Startup Disk Creator: https://imgur.com/vUXscw1
[00:25] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, once you know the drive, then you run "dd if=<file name> of=</dev/<device>"
[00:26] <ObrienDave> good habits? whatever works is good
[00:26] <nicomachus> man, dd makes me so...apprehensive.
[00:26] <Hatycat> Hey does anybody know if ther is a way to get a Youtube or spotify lens for dash ubuntu 15.04? havent used ubuntu in quite some time and appearantly all the old custom lenses are broken on new version of unity?
[00:26] <nicomachus> one letter wrong and I overwrite my laptop
[00:26] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, lol.  don't worry.  it's like giving a loaded handgun to a monkey
[00:26] <nicomachus> oh yay.
[00:27] <nicomachus> last time I said a command me nervous because of it's raw power, it was rsync, the pc crashed, and I lost 400GB of encrypted data. :/
[00:27] <nicomachus> but hey, why not?
[00:28] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, the command you want is "dd if=/home/nicomachus/Documents/Ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb"
[00:28] <Hatycat> nah sda
[00:28] <OerHeks> eh, is that kinston data treveler 3.0 such device that comes with software, also known as U3?
[00:28] <ObrienDave> unetbootin ;P
[00:28] <Hatycat> just try all the letters till it works
[00:28] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, no time like now to learn
[00:28] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, you're making things complicated
[00:28] <gshmu> hello, I'm using linux kernel 3.19, How to disable update kernel 3.13
[00:29] <ObrienDave> oh, not like you are ;P
[00:29] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, I'm trying to teach him the correct way of doing it.  Shell is zen
[00:29] <nicomachus> haha, jeeves_moss, I hit enter 3 secs before you wrote the command for me.
[00:29] <OerHeks> !info u3-tool
[00:29] <nicomachus> and your path was off, so I'm glad.
[00:29] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, and it's not like loosing data isn't a good learning exp!
[00:30] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, np.  just making sure you could get it.  most people on here are too lazy to type it out in full
[00:30] <ObrienDave> OMG SMH and saunters away
[00:30] <nicomachus> OerHeks: there was nothing installed. I bought it from the Fed Ex Office store I had to wait at for 30 minutes today. It was on sale for 3.99. haha
[00:30] <OerHeks> When i read usb 0 bytes, i think of U3 :-)
[00:30] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, lol
[00:30] <ObrienDave> all yours dude
[00:31] <jeeves_moss> ObrienDave, thanks
[00:31] <pingpingpong> Off-topic! Somebody can help? I'm trying to join the mysql channel on freenode but somehow I can't.
[00:32] <jeeves_moss> pingpingpong, you have to reg a nic first
[00:32] <OerHeks> !register
[00:32] <WyZeGuY> hello hello hello
[00:32] <pingpingpong> I just joined this ubuntu channel and it works but the mysql not.
[00:32] <OerHeks> but that is already said, isn't it?
[00:32] <WyZeGuY> how do you hog open wifi?
[00:32] <nicomachus> jeeves_moss: "dd: failed to open ‘/dev/sdb’: Permission denied" wth?
[00:33] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, with bacon
[00:33] <jeeves_moss> nicomachus, DD requires route
[00:33] <jeeves_moss> *root
[00:33]  * nicomachus is idiot
[00:33] <WyZeGuY> jeeves_moss: hog. clever. lol
[00:33] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, the muzzies in here are getting ready to bomb me for that comment
[00:34] <WyZeGuY> jeeves_moss: "muzzie". isn't that kind of as degrading as "beaner"?
[00:34] <nicomachus> ugh dd doesn't have a --progress flag?
[00:34] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, I could have said MUCH worse.
[00:34] <WyZeGuY> jeeves_moss: of course. we could all do much worse. the humanity is in not doing worse.
[00:35] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, hence why I don't get involved in anything that says you should kill over what you belive in.
[00:35] <WyZeGuY> (y)
[00:36] <WyZeGuY> soooo... anyone here know how to snatch open wifi?
[00:36] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, look for an open access point
[00:37] <WyZeGuY> what does that mean?
[00:37] <jeeves_moss> what is your wieless adaptor listed as?  Wlan0?
[00:38] <WyZeGuY> well, should be. i don't see it in the wireless settings, but i think that's what wireless always is.
[00:38] <jeeves_moss> open a shell and type "ifconfig"
[00:39] <gogis> hi there
[00:39] <WyZeGuY> ipconfig says command not found
[00:39] <WyZeGuY> oh. ifconfig
[00:39] <nicomachus> lol this isn't windows, WyZeGuY
[00:39] <WyZeGuY> yes, wlan0.
[00:39] <WyZeGuY> i'm scatterbrained.
[00:40] <gogis> is there anybody  somehow contributing to Ubuntu development?
[00:42] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, it should be ifconfig
[00:42] <WyZeGuY> yes, wlan0
[00:42] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, ok, then run "iwscan list"
[00:42] <gshmu> i'm uncheck kernel but it downloading ...  https://clbin.com/6CXXnr.png   this may a bug
[00:42] <ObrienDave> gogis, yes, there are many. you can visit then in #ubuntu-devel
[00:42] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, sorry, that should be "iwscan list"
[00:43] <WyZeGuY> jeeves_moss: what's the difference in what you just typed? and do i need to download this iwscan?
[00:43] <TJ-> WyZeGuY: Or even "sudo iwlist scan"  !!
[00:43] <Hatycat> is it even still possible to make scopes in Unity 8?
[00:44] <WyZeGuY> Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, no, it's installed already.  it's the wirelessconfig mod
[00:44] <WyZeGuY> oh, but wlan0 says Scan completed with some info. what's important here?
[00:45] <TJ-> WyZeGuY: Look at the ESSIDs that were found, those are the access points discovered
[00:45] <WyZeGuY> yes, I'm connected to an open wifi point right now, Hart's Laundry. I'm trying to hog their wifi.
[00:46] <jeeves_moss> WyZeGuY, and why are you trying to do this?
[00:46] <WyZeGuY> so that it doesn't run snail pace
[00:46] <WyZeGuY> and good to know for the future
[00:46] <Hatycat> kekkers
[00:47] <jeeves_moss> anyways guys, I'm going to head back to the house.  I have a server to break
[00:48] <WyZeGuY> oh noes
[00:50] <pbx> i broke my notification style - now it's just pale blue boxes in the upper left instead of the nice style floating ones (in the upper right) i had before. how do i unbreak?  i thought it was from installing i3 but i removed that...
[00:50] <pbx> 14.04 linux, unity fwiw
[00:58] <Maimster> Samba4 AD-DC can be a real pain in the butt. Now that it's working I feel better.
[01:00] <digdeep> For a couple of days, my ubuntu clock is out of sync, even it is configured to sync with the internet
[01:09] <fotografisto> what's a replacement for dvd shrink in ubuntu?
[01:10] <bazhang> !handbrake | fotografisto
[01:11] <bazhang> fotografisto, also avconv and ffmpeg
[01:11] <fotografisto> gui for those programs?
[01:11] <bazhang> smplayer with mpv fotografisto
[01:11] <bazhang> winff for ffmpeg
[01:12] <bazhang> or is that mencoder
[01:12] <vastkahuna> What do I need to do to Ubuntu in order to be able to play videos from Comcast?
[01:12] <bazhang> !info winff
[01:12] <fronce_> handbrake has a gui, dvdbackup has a cli
[01:12] <fotografisto> I think you need a tv tuner vastkahuna
[01:12] <bazhang> vastkahuna, got ubuntu-restricted-extras installed yet
[01:13] <OerHeks> For most Flash + DRM issues i would say install chrome
[01:13] <vastkahuna> Not yet. How do I do that?
[01:14] <bazhang> vastkahuna, install from the package manager
[01:18] <nicomachus> uh.... what's the administrative password for a live usb?
[01:18] <nicomachus> I'm trying to open nautilus with gksu and it's asking for an administrative password...
[01:21] <TJ-> nicomachus: there isn't one. Use gksudo
[01:22] <lagreca> hi, I'm running xubuntu 14.04.2. Whenever I set brightness to the lowest levels using fn keys and I let my laptop screen dimmed for a long time, I cannot reset brightness to a normal or highest levels. It goes dark, but cannot be light again.
[01:22] <lagreca> What can I do in order to solve that?
[01:22] <michelubuntu_> TJ-: long time no see
[01:26] <vastkahuna> I installed restricted extras and comcast is saying I need to update flash but ubuntu says I have that already
[01:27] <fotografisto> vastkahuna ubuntu may not be as up to date as adobe's flash
[01:27] <fotografisto> go to adobes site you should be able to download it there
[01:27] <fotografisto> for linux
[01:28] <fotografisto> https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ vastkahuna
[01:29] <vastkahuna> It's showing 4 different options, which one do I need?
[01:30] <xangua> (20:13:08) OerHeks: For most Flash + DRM issues i would say install chrome - vastkahuna
[01:30] <teward> vastkahuna: Comcast is identifying that you need Flash updated, which you cant get in Ubuntu repos anymore due to Flash dropping Linux support outside of that packaged in Google Chrome
[01:30] <xangua> fotografisto: there hasn't been a major flash upgrade since 2012, only security updates
[01:30] <teward> vastkahuna: so I suggest installing Google Chrome.
[01:31] <teward> xangua: and even then, their linux roadmap shows they're planning on total dropping, no new updates, soon enough.  No date, but it said 'soon' last i looked
[01:31] <vastkahuna> So do I get it from the ubuntu software center or from google?
[01:31] <maxxxxx> Hi. Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to mount my windows partition for the purpose of continuing to resize it?
[01:31] <fotografisto> ubuntu software center vastkahuna
[01:32] <teward> vastkahuna: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html or the software center
[01:32] <kostkon> teward, security updates for 11.2.x till 2014, that's the roadmap afaik
[01:32] <teward> vastkahuna: then use Chrome instead of Firefox
[01:32] <maxxxxx> fotografisto: me?
[01:32] <teward> kostkon: close enough, but since it's 2015, that effectively means it's all dead
[01:32] <kostkon> teward, errm, 2017*
[01:32] <nicomachus> ughhhh. I'm trying to use rsync to move a temp-mounted encrypted home folder to an external HDD, through a live usb. I can navigate to the ecryptfs location in /mnt/tmp, but rsync says there is no such file or directory there. and if I try to actually go inside the ecryptfs folder, it says permission denied.
[01:32] <vastkahuna> OK I'm going to try that now
[01:32] <kostkon> teward, sorry
[01:32] <teward> kostkon: still close enough, everything uses the higher version for checks :0
[01:32] <xangua> vastkahuna: you get Google Chrome, from Google Chrome's site
[01:33] <kostkon> vastkahuna, http://www.google.com/chrome/
[01:33] <fotografisto> ?
[01:33] <kostkon> vastkahuna, double click on the .deb file
[01:33] <vastkahuna> OK
[01:34] <maxxxxx> Anybody?
[01:35] <Ereur01> hi
[01:35] <teward> maxxxxx: if the resize was interrupted you have bigger problems, likely...
[01:35] <Ereur01> im new here
[01:35] <void> welcome Ereur01
[01:35] <Ereur01> thanks
[01:36] <maxxxxx> No that's not the issue. When I boot the gparted livecd, it says the files can't be read and its status is unmounted so it won't tell me how much space I can resize, and won't allow me to resize, reward
[01:36] <maxxxxx> * teward
[01:37] <teward> maxxxxx: what's the exact error it says
[01:37] <void> maxxxxx, u tried resize in windows partition manager?
[01:38] <teward> maxxxxx: alternatively, use Windows to live resize the thing, if you're on Win7 or later
[01:38] <maxxxxx> void: it continues querying for available space into infinity
[01:38] <teward> s/the thing/itself/
[01:38] <maxxxxx> Hold on ill take a picture
[01:39] <vastkahuna> OK after installing it told me this program is run from a terminal, so do I really need to open a terminal to run chrome or am I misunderstanding?
[01:40] <maxxxxx> Teward: void: https://i.imgur.com/l7Tg0XN.jpg
[01:41] <teward> maxxxxx: sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g     (confirm this is installed)
[01:41] <maxxxxx> Ugh okay hold on I have to boot Linux now
[01:41] <kostkon> vastkahuna, ignore that message
[01:42] <maxxxxx> teward: can I do that on gparted or do I have to boot Ubuntu?
[01:42] <kostkon> vastkahuna, just search for it in the dash or look for it in your menu
[01:43] <teward> maxxxxx: you can do that from the live image
[01:43] <teward> (ideally it should already be there though...)
[01:44] <maxxxxx> (I already hooted ubuntu oops
[01:44] <maxxxxx> )
[01:44] <maxxxxx> It was upgraded
[01:46] <maxxxxx> teward: okay now what
[01:47] <maxxxxx> teward: ....
[01:47] <teward> maxxxxx: try gparted now
[01:47] <teward> maxxxxx: and patience i'm not JUST in this channel, i'm in several
[01:47] <maxxxxx> Sorry...
[01:47] <psusi> maxxxxx, looks like the partition is corrupt... run scandisk on it from windows
[01:47] <teward> maxxxxx: i also agree with psusi
[01:47] <maxxxxx> Fuck....
[01:48] <maxxxxx> psusi: how
[01:48] <teward> maxxxxx: language.  that kind of language is bad here, don't.
[01:48] <vastkahuna_> I just installed chrome from google and two things, one is comcast is still telling me I need to update flash when I try to play a video, second is the ubuntu software center is telling me that chrome is run from a terminal. What does that mean?
[01:48] <maxxxxx> Sorry again
[01:48] <teward> maxxxxx: boot to windows, run `chkdsk /f` and have it reboot to check.
[01:48] <psusi> or click scandisk in the gui maybe?
[01:48] <OerHeks> " for the purpose of continuing to resize it?" did you interrupt it?...
[01:48] <teward> maxxxxx: Or boot to a Windows install disk to use its recovery environment
[01:48] <teward> psusi: it'll still force reboot
[01:48] <teward> psusi: can't make changes to Win filesys when mounted/running apparently
[01:48] <teward> (ran into that with my dualboot last week)
[01:48] <pbx> vastkahuna_, chrome does not install flash.  that's a separate bit.
[01:48] <maxxxxx> I don't have an install disk
 vastkahuna, ignore that message
[01:49] <psusi> teward, that's true of most filesystems, but that's not what the message is saying
[01:49] <maxxxxx> Is there a way to just blast windows from the disk?
[01:49] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, you probably missed my earlier message
[01:49] <teward> psusi: True, but 'scandisk' from inside Windows will enforce a reboot to actually fix things
[01:49] <pbx> vastkahuna_, dont' worry about starting chrome from terminal, just tap the windows key and type 'chrome' (among other ways)
[01:49] <teward> psusi: and from that, I speak of experience, unless you mean from Linux?
[01:49] <psusi> maxxxxx, you don't care about any files in that partition?  then just delete it
[01:49] <lnxmen> Is there any way to downgrade Plasma5 in Kubuntu 15.04?
[01:49] <maxxxxx> Okay hold on I'm gonna see if anything important is left...
[01:50] <psusi> teward, yea, of course we're talking about from linux?
[01:52] <OerHeks> lnxmen, no.
[01:52] <teward> psusi: i think you need to explain to me how to run a scandisk from Linux, unless i'm so tired I'm misreading you
[01:52] <teward> (I'm still up at that spot)
[01:52] <lnxmen> OerHeks: Well, okay. Thank you.
[01:53] <OerHeks> lnxmen, you might want to check #kubuntu too, but you would get the same answer i guess
[01:53] <lnxmen> I have already checked.
[01:53] <psusi> teward, you don't... you run it from windows, as I said...
[01:53] <lnxmen> (I mean, no response.)
[01:53] <vastkahuna_> OK that got it fixed, but now I have two versions of chrome instaleed, googles official one and also chromium. Do I need them both?
[01:54] <teward> psusi: i missed that, sorry, i'm tired from dissecting python code at work all day :/
[01:54] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, you only need chrome, since chromium comes without pepperflash support
[01:55] <vastkahuna_> OK thanks
[01:55] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, scratch that. you can install pepperflash in chromium.
[01:55] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, as well*
[01:55] <vastkahuna_> OK
[01:56] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, for DRM playback though, Chrome is a safe bet.
[01:56] <vastkahuna_> Now if I want to install the restricted extras from the terminal, what command do I need?
[01:57] <kostkon> vastkahuna_, either search for ubuntu-restricted-extras in the software centre, or just give  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in a terminal
[01:58] <vastkahuna_> OK
[02:00] <maxxxxx> Alright I'm nuking windows
[02:05] <treeprogram> If I install both Ubuntu and Windows on a single machine, and the Windows machines get a virus like CTB Locker, can the virus affect the files on the partition used by Ubuntu?
[02:05] <kali__> can someone help me ?
[02:05] <treeprogram> I'm trying to determine whether my Ubuntu files will be endangered due to installing Windows in a dual-boot setting
[02:06] <maxxxxx> No.
[02:06] <maxxxxx> Not unless you open the infected file in the Ubuntu setting
[02:07] <kali__> Is there anyway to hack wordpress websites without brute force password  ?
[02:07] <kali__> From vulnerabilities ?
[02:08] <kali__> ????
[02:08] <psusi> treeprogram, just make sure you tell windows to install to a partition you create for it and to leave the ubuntu partition alone, then you have to reinstall grub so you can boot ubuntu again
[02:08] <psusi> kali__, I sense a ban stick in your future
[02:09] <kali__> ?
[02:09] <kali__> psusi ?
[02:09] <maxxxxx> kali__: this channel isn't about helping people partake in illegal/illicit behavior
[02:10] <kali__> ok , talk privately :P
[02:10] <maxxxxx> psusi: how do you check drive size in terminal?
[02:11] <psusi> maxxxxx, from the perspective of the filesystem if it is mounted?  df.. raw disk?  lsblk or parted -l or fdisk pl
[02:11] <OerHeks> silly kali__ , your question is offtopic here in #ubuntu and illegal on #freenode.
[02:11] <psusi> fdisk -l rather, not pl
[02:14] <rapper97> What is the difference between setting the boot loader device at e.g. /dev/sda vs /dev/sda2 ?
[02:15] <maxxxxx> I did df -h
[02:15] <maxxxxx> Thanks
[02:16] <nicomachus> dd needs a progress option.
[02:18] <rapper97> nicomachus>> I just heard someone the other night talking about making it do so with pv but I have no idea how one would do that.
[02:18] <nicomachus> rsync has a --progress flag, but not dd. :/
[02:20] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: Well, there is a means to get a status of where 'dd' is . see: 'man dd ' for the instruction .
[02:21] <Ben64> pv /dev/zero | of=/dev/null

[02:22] <moses> i got it
[02:23] <unkn0wn> @moses. use screen
[02:23] <moses> pl
[02:23] <moses> ok
[02:23] <moses> that way even if i close the terminal irssi will still be running?
[02:23] <leonic> hello hoe do i installl lx viewer
[02:24] <unkn0wn> well you can detach from your screen session and then reattach to it using screen -Udr
[02:24] <unkn0wn> screen takes a little getting used to but its worth learning
[02:25] <moses> i use it on my server when i ssh
[02:25] <moses> already
[02:25] <moses> should i use it on this comp also
[02:25] <unkn0wn> perfect. yeah just leave it running
[02:25] <leonic> i downloaded the tar.gz file but i do know how to install it
[02:25] <moses> i connect to that server via ssh from this computer
[02:25] <moses> should i run screen here also?
[02:26] <unkn0wn> well i leave it running on my server and then if i wanna irc is just jump on my server and reattach to my screen session
[02:26] <OerHeks> leonic, double click onthe tar.gz, fileroller opens, unpack it, and read the read.me inside it
[02:27] <unkn0wn> ive also heard of tmux but never used it.
[02:27] <unkn0wn> been meaning to check that out
[02:28] <leonic> is home my working directori or is system  ?¿
[02:29] <Ben64> whatever directory you are in
[02:30] <OerHeks> leonic, yes, home
[02:30] <OerHeks> ( to unpack from fileroller)
[02:33] <sylar> maybe someone here knows, how private is chating over xchat and here
[02:34] <reisio> sylar: not
[02:34] <reisio> and even if it were, you'd be chatting in a room with 1737 other people
[02:34] <reisio> make that 1500 other people and 237 covert logging bots
[02:35] <moses> whats a really good programming text editor to use for ubuntu? vim?
[02:35] <sylar> i was just curious, i always noticed that xchat existed, but never used it... What's its purpose
[02:35] <moses> for a beginner
[02:35] <reisio> moses: yes
[02:35] <reisio> moses: mmm, Vim takes a little learning, run 'vimtutor' if you're interested
[02:35] <reisio> otherwise it doesn't really matter, whatever comes with your DE will work until you graduate
[02:35] <reisio> sylar: it's an IRC client
[02:36] <reisio> IRC's purpose is manifold
[02:36] <reisio> IRC conveys all knowledge
[02:36] <reisio> IRC destroys all time
[02:36] <reisio> IRC satisfies all desires
[02:36] <reisio> IRC satisfies none
[02:36] <neurot> lol
[02:37] <nicomachus> sylar: are you using a VPN?
[02:37] <nicomachus> or proxy of any kind?
[02:37] <sylar> i probably am not
[02:37] <nicomachus> Looks like you're currently in Slunj, Croatia.
[02:37] <nicomachus> I can give latitude and longitude if you want.
[02:38] <nicomachus> Does that answer your question about privacy?
[02:38] <sylar> thats wrong but close... how did you do that
[02:38] <sylar> pretty much
[02:38] <neurot> sylar nicomachus is the FBI
[02:38] <nicomachus> haha, closer than you think to the truth, neurot. ;)
[02:39] <sylar> or he used my ip
[02:39] <neurot> sia
[02:39] <sylar> :D
[02:39] <neurot> cia
[02:39] <nicomachus> sylar: all of this information is freely available for all users: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11693694/
[02:40] <neurot> nicomachus your taking advantage of a VPN
[02:40] <nicomachus> of course.
[02:41] <nabin> hi
[02:41] <neurot> private Internet access VPN is the best one for no logs
[02:41] <neurot> smart man
[02:41] <nicomachus> eh, they're still located in the US. But we're off topic now.
[02:41] <dem0n> hola
[02:42] <unkn0wn> agreed PIA is the best
[02:42] <neurot> hola
[02:42] <Koyaanis> but how do you know if a VPN is really not logging
[02:42] <dem0n> i don't know if PIA is the absolute best
[02:42] <dem0n> ibvpn and cyberghost are really good
[02:42] <reisio> that's why you use two proxies :p
[02:42] <reisio> or eleven
[02:42] <nicomachus> I prefer 9 proxies, personally.
[02:42] <unkn0wn> thats a great point. you dont.. haha you just have to take their word for it
[02:42] <reisio> from a café
[02:42] <dem0n> reisio lol
[02:42] <reisio> while wearing shades
[02:42] <reisio> or you could just buy a baseball bat
[02:42] <nicomachus> but again, anything that isn't ubuntu support should be taken to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:42] <reisio> that keeps people from screwing you, too
[02:42] <dem0n> there is always the test...
[02:42] <dem0n> use your vpn
[02:43] <unkn0wn> why not host your own vpn server?
[02:43] <dem0n> post of facebook that you are are a terrorist
[02:43] <nicomachus> GUYS.
[02:43] <Koyaanis> ALLAHU AQBAR
[02:43] <dem0n> if your door doesn't get kicked in...they don't log
[02:43] <reisio> people say vpn when they mean proxy
[02:43] <nicomachus> talk about VPN's on ##networking or #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:43] <somsip> !ot
[02:43] <nicomachus> thanks somsip
[02:43] <reisio> dem0n: free speech in my country :D
[02:43] <dem0n> nico...okay okay
[02:44] <Koyaanis> lets go to networking
[02:44] <HoloIRCUser1> What is new in ubuntu 15.04
[02:44] <Koyaanis> systemd
[02:44] <somsip> HoloIRCUser1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseNotes#New_features_in_15.04
[02:44] <dem0n> wow is ubuntu 15 already out?...
[02:45] <somsip> dem0n: 15.04 in April '15, and 15.10 in Oct '15
[02:46] <nicomachus> how long should this dd command take to run?
[02:46] <gh0strider> which dd command?..
[02:46] <nicomachus> I'm cloning a 1TB internal HDD to a 1TB external HDD, but there's less than 400 GB of data
[02:46] <gh0strider> that will take awhile
[02:46] <somsip> nicomachus: often depends on the BS setting. Paste the command
[02:47] <nicomachus> sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc
[02:47] <nicomachus> executed it about an hour ago.
[02:48] <gh0strider> BS setting is a factor that is for sure...but writting 400GB will take awhile regardless
[02:48] <somsip> nicomachus: :) - well, 1TB is a lot. FWIW http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139027
[02:48] <nicomachus> it's also going over usb 2.0
[02:48] <somsip> nicomachus: then I'd adjust my estimate to 'longer than a while'
[02:49] <nicomachus> lol
[02:49] <nicomachus> guess I'll just plan on letting it run overnight...
[02:49] <teward> nicomachus: which further slows down your transfer rate, 3.0 would be faster.  And 1TB is a lot of data.  400GB being transferred is definitely a while at least, potentially even over a couple hours depending on different factors
[02:49] <somsip> nicomachus: I was just going to suggest you sleep on it
[02:49] <teward> nicomachus: that'd be my idea, yes, let it keep running overnight
[02:49] <reisio> nicomachus: why dd?
[02:49] <nicomachus> teward: if the mobo supported 3.0 that's how it would be moving.
[02:50] <teward> nicomachus: still not my point, even then it'd still take a while, suggestion is to leave it running overnight.
[02:50] <nicomachus> reisio: it's an encrypted drive and I'm having trouble getting to the Home folder data.
[02:50] <nicomachus> the mobo/RAM/CPU all may be bad, so I'm just cloning the drive to an external and going to try to recover from my laptop.
[02:52] <nicomachus> this is basically a last-ditch effort to recover the data.
[02:53] <reisio> nicomachus: what, the drive is dying?
[02:54] <nicomachus> reisio: bootloader is completely broken. I've tried so many different things. originally the grub config was trying to boot the 3.13 kernel when 3.19 was installed, but I fixed that and still can't boot.
[02:54] <reisio> bootloader has nothing to do with data integrity, really
[02:54] <nicomachus> it's encrypted though. and it doesn't want to unwrap the passphrase.
[02:55] <reisio> you're probably typing it wrong, or using it wrong, then
[02:55] <nicomachus> lol, no.
[02:55] <reisio> that's a problem, but there's no reason to suspect your data is in trouble
[02:55] <nicomachus> when I thought I finally had it, every file in the folder showed up as "ecrypt.fsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" with a ton of random characters.
[02:56] <DrBotato> I'm super stuck on getting a init.d script working. when i run the service directly it loads fine, but when i try to start it with sudo service it doesn't run, it doesn't produce any errors it just goes back to the command line. This is my script: http://kopy.io/PEE1I
[02:56] <HoloIRCUser1> Try to repair bootloader boot-repair nicomachus
[02:56] <reisio> nicomachus: that sounds about right, actually
[02:57] <reisio> nicomachus: ecryptfs is FUSE based, IIRC
[02:57] <reisio> haven't used it, though
[02:57] <Hatycat> I hate to be a spammer, but does anybody know anything about custom lenses for dash in unity 8? i want muh built in youtube search
[02:57] <nicomachus> HoloIRCUser1: been there. that was the first thing I tried, of course. and yes reisio it's FUSE
[02:57] <reisio> I wouldn't dd a TB over it, anyway
[02:57] <RazWelles> So I'm installing gnome-ubuntu, and when I get to the option to "Erase disk and install" it shows the hourglass-yin-yang icon for a few moments then goes back to mouse
[02:57] <RazWelles> I can't seem to get it to go into install beyond tha
[02:57] <RazWelles> Any idea what's up?
[02:57] <nicomachus> reisio: it's going to get a fresh install on the internal HDD anyway, doesn't hurt me any to clone it over to the external first.
[02:58] <reisio> :p
[02:58] <nicomachus> except time. haha
[02:58] <nicomachus> but that's what they made cigs and beer for. waiting.
[03:12] <Johnny_Linux> longdong
[03:16] <ballyhoo> Is this the appropriate place to ask questions about running Ubuntu on a Macbook Air?
[03:18] <nicomachus> ask away, ballyhoo
[03:19] <auba> hey , i have some badsectors in my hard disk , how can i fix that ?
[03:19] <ballyhoo> It rather concerns the battery life issue. I have an early 2014 Macbook Air and when running Ubuntu the battery life seems to be abysmal. Is there something that I've missed or not configured properly?
[03:20] <xor_ax_ax> could it be normal battery wear?
[03:21] <ballyhoo> xor_ax_ax, I don't think so. I get 9-12 hours on OSX.
[03:21] <nicomachus> ballyhoo: do you dual-boot and still get 9-12 hours?
[03:22] <ballyhoo> Yeah, I was dual booting with refind and while booted into OSX I get around 9-12 hours, but in Ubuntu I'm lucky to get 3 hours.
[03:23] <ballyhoo> I know the Macbook Air is a rather custom piece of hardware, but I just wanted to check to see if there was something I was missing.
[03:24] <rican-linux> I just installed Ubuntu-GNOME on my MBP and my wife's MB Air
[03:24] <nicomachus> ballyhoo: perhaps this will help? https://askubuntu.com/questions/158778/why-does-ubuntu-have-about-2x-shorter-battery-life-than-os-x-on-macbook
[03:24] <nicomachus> seems to indicate drivers that have poor power management.
[03:24] <RonWhoCares> I am trying to burn a DVD.  The previous burn failed.  There is no "CUT" option to remove the files from the previous one.  Is there a way to remove them?
[03:24] <Ben64> is it a dvdr
[03:25] <RonWhoCares> The DVD isn't burned
[03:25] <RonWhoCares> It is in a cache some where
[03:25] <nicomachus> ballyhoo: this will be helpful, I think: https://askubuntu.com/questions/285434/is-there-a-power-saving-application-similar-to-jupiter/285681#285681
[03:25] <Ben64> RonWhoCares: what software
[03:25] <ballyhoo> nicomachus, seems to be the case. It's a fairly new machine so it is quite possible. I'll try this laptop-mode-tools thing, though.
[03:25] <felix__29> Hi, has anybody experience with ubuntu 14.04 getting stuck on the purple screen when booting?
[03:25] <RonWhoCares> Ben64: CD/DVD Creator Folder is showing
[03:26] <nicomachus> ballyhoo: that second link is VERY detailed on different power-saving methods.
[03:27] <ballyhoo> nicomachus, ahh, I see now. Lots of information. Thanks for the help! Lots to try out now.
[03:30] <RonWhoCares> how O di remove it
[03:30] <RonWhoCares> how do I clear that folder
[03:31] <nicomachus> felix__29: can you be more specific?
[03:31] <michael_p> hi
[03:32] <michael_p> i tried to install nvidia drivers 3.46 on 15.04 it gets me to the splash screen then the screen gose blank
[03:35] <Bashing-om> michael_p: The 346 driver is available in the software reposistory in release 15.04; How are you installing the driver ?
[03:36] <michael_p> there is a youtube channel
[03:37] <nicomachus> a youtube channel?
[03:38] <michael_p> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsQ8WhYmE3M
[03:38] <michael_p> but its for 14.04
[03:40] <nicomachus> that's for the 340 driver. can you boot now or does it just go to black?
[03:41] <Bashing-om> michael_p: If you have not installed any proprietary driver. the driver is available in the repo. just install it by ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' / That is a big IF .
[03:43] <doublethinker> hello. I am trying to update with software updater but it says I don't have enough space.
[03:44] <somsip> doublethinker: so what do you need help with?
[03:45] <doublethinker> increasing space to the partition
[03:45] <somsip> !gparted | doublethinker
[03:45] <Bashing-om> doublethinker: Try terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' to remove the old kernels.
[03:46] <doublethinker> i have gparted open
[03:46] <doublethinker> the /boot only has 250mb
[03:46] <somsip> doublethinker: you know you cant resize a partition that is in use?
[03:47] <michael_p> this is it  if it dont work i have reinstall
[03:47] <doublethinker> somsip, what do I do then?
[03:48] <nicomachus> Bashing-om: old kernels are stored in /boot aren't they? and it'll allow quite a few to build up before autoremove even touches them.
[03:48] <Bashing-om> doublethinker: Maybe a victum also ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093 .
[03:48] <somsip> doublethinker: take Bashing-om's advice on removing old kernels first as it's the easy solution. Have you done that>?
[03:49] <WyZeGuY> is it a good idea to disable SSH root login, to prevent hacking? is that what that does?
[03:49] <Ben64> it comes disabled
[03:50] <somsip> WyZeGuY: restriction of access is an important part of security
[03:50] <WyZeGuY> oh cool
[03:50] <nicomachus> doublethinker: instructions on deleting old kernels here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels
[03:50] <doublethinker> i ran the command Bashing-om posted, now i'm trying to update again
[03:50] <WyZeGuY> Ben64: thanks
[03:51] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: No, apt-get has been re-written to remove old jernels and leave the 2 latest ( in default settings )
[03:51] <nicomachus> Bashing-om: as of when? I had to manually remove 4 old kernels last week.
[03:53] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: As of 13.04 best I recall . We need to look and see what you have configured . 12.04 does not have this ability !
[03:54] <nicomachus> it was a machine going from 14.10 to 15.04. It's done and gone now, was a friend's.
[04:00] <doublethinker> it worked. thank you folk.
[04:02] <Zarathuztra> Looking for some help with ubuntu server 14.04 -- Can't seem to see it on my network. 1st time setup
[04:05] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: K, next time you run into this, check " /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels " file .
[04:06] <Bashing-om> doublethinker: :) add your voice to the bug report, please .
[04:08] <nicomachus> my laptop seems to be fine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11694062/
[04:10] <doublethinker> Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
[04:10] <nicomachus> who ever said one man can't make a difference?
[04:11] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: Yepper, look'n good .' uname -r ] say you are up on 3.13.0-54-generic ?
[04:12] <nicomachus> -53
[04:13] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: Well there is a kernal update  to -54 .
[04:13] <nicomachus> isn't 15.04 on 3.19?
[04:14] <nicomachus> my laptop is still on 14.04
[04:15] <Bashing-om> nicomachus: the 3.19 series is wily .
[04:18] <nicomachus> the harddrive I'm working on recovering right now had grub broken on the 14.10-15.04 upgrade because of the 3.19 kernel. grub config was trying to 3.13 but 3.19 was installed.
[04:19] <nicomachus> and, of course, as soon as you mention the update to -54: https://imgur.com/A63KXj6
[04:19] <Bashing-om> Micromus: HWE - HardWare Enablement stack - pops to mind . Unless there is a need, don't !
[04:25] <ircnode0> somebody know why I can't get wired network. However, after I suspend and start Ubuntu 14.04, then I will always get wired network. This happens always when I reboot my machine. The computer is dual bootted.
[04:27] <Kubishime> Anyone able to help me un-fuck myself? Need to create a bootable installer for OSX on Linux...
[04:28] <Ben64> first off, watch the language in this channel, and secondly, you should be asking the osx support channel how to do that
[04:29] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: whats your network card chipset?
[04:31] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: "Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-LM (rev 04)"
[04:31] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: and driver loaded?
[04:34] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: "firmware=0.13-3"
[04:34] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: and in front? intel..?
[04:35] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: this "/sys/class/net/eth0/device/driver -> ../../../bus/pci/drivers/e1000e"?
[04:36] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: sudo lshw -C network should show it behind driver=
[04:37] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: driver=e1000e driverversion=2.3.2-k
[04:37] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: did you install ubuntu with internet enabled + updates during setup?
[04:38] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: I just click "Install Ubuntu", then Ubuntu install something in the background. ^^;;
[04:39] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: I didn't select any package.
[04:39] <jr_> Does the desktop sharing app that comes with ubuntu encrypted by default?
[04:39] <jr_> is the desktop sharing app*
[04:39] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: sta setup start you can choose to enable updates during install
[04:40] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: you want me to update packages?
[04:40] <jr_> I am looking up information on the desktop sharing app and some people say that it is but I want someone to confirm it for me
[04:41] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: are you up to date to 14.04.2?
[04:41] <Ben64> jr_: yep, uses encrypted vnc
[04:42] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: Yes I am. "Description:Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS", from lsb_release -a
[04:42] <jr_> Ben64: thanks. I'm reading the reviews in the store...a lot of people say it can't establish connections...is this true or do you think these people are just being salty?
[04:43] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: maybe check the intel website for more recent driver?
[04:43] <Ben64> hard to find a client on windows that can do it easily, but thats not the fault of the program
[04:43] <jr_> Ben64: ah I'm using everything ubuntu. No windows. One last thing, I'm seeing that it eats up processing power. More salty people?
[04:45] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: The driver always work after the suspension. I find it annoying to start Ubuntu, suspend and wake Ubuntu up to get network work.
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: maybe try a no_acpi boot?
[04:46] <Ben64> jr_: i'm running it+2 games on wine+mythtv+steam+other stuff, and everything works fine for me, idk
[04:46] <jr_> Ben64: sounds cash. Thx BB
[04:46] <jr_> :*
[04:46] <wad> So I've got a command I'd like to run automatically on my Ubuntu box, every night at 8. Normally, I'd use cron. But this won't work, because the command does a bunch of ssh commands to different boxen. Is there a way to get around this?
[04:46] <EriC^^> wad: why don't you put them in a script and use cron to run that?
[04:47] <wad> I've got it in a script.... but won't this still lack my kets?
[04:47] <wad> s/kets/keys/
[04:47] <wad> I assumed it would not... I'll try it.
[04:48] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: Well I can try that. I will also try to remove network module and insert it back also.
[04:49] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: yeah i would try a fresh 14.04 install with all updates enabled during install + internet on
[04:50] <ircnode0> lotuspsychje: thank you for helping.
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> ircnode0: no sweat mate
[04:51] <jr_> I'm trying to configure the port for remote desktop in ubuntu. How do I do this?
[04:51] <jr_> Ben42: Sorry to call on you again. Do you know?
[04:52] <wad> Okay, yeah, that fails.
[04:52] <wad> The cron process doesn't have access to my keys and such.
[04:52] <EriC^^> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/8903/not-able-to-ssh-in-to-remote-machine-using-shell-script-in-crontab
[04:52] <EriC^^> wad: ^
[04:52]  * wad clicky
[04:54] <wad> Aha! That looks like what I needed!
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> jr_: for one time use, you can try teamviewer also
[04:58] <linuxuz3r> is there a dev channel for ubuntu
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> jr_: just be carefull with remote viewing software enabled 24/7
[04:58] <lotuspsychje> linuxuz3r: #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-touch
[04:59] <jr_> lotuspsychje: I can't use teamviewer. It is not cleared as an industry standard (work)
[04:59] <jr_> Also it records sessions, this is confidential info.
[04:59] <lotuspsychje> jr_: ah okay, vnc over ssh or only ssh?
[04:59] <jr_> either, so long as it is encrypted
[05:00] <jr_> yes I know it's encrypted
[05:00] <jr_> lol
[05:00] <Shaun_> I recently have installed mozilla browser from its souce site but how to install these apps in tar.bz2 format in ubuntu?
[05:00] <jr_> But I can't figure out how to set the port for the client computer
[05:00] <zztopless> Hi, Does anyone know if using two GPUs for CUDA data processing, do they need to be in SLI (or xfire, but SLI in this case)?  These are two 570 GTXs (differnt brands)
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> Shaun_: router or firewall block?
[05:01] <Shaun_> firefox
[05:01] <jr_> lotuspsychje: do you know how?
[05:01] <lotuspsychje> Shaun_: why did you install firefox from source?
[05:01] <jr_> I cant find anything on google
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> jr_: remote desktop should work out of the box i think
[05:02] <jr_> lotuspsychje: yes I know. But I want to set the ports myself
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> jr_: will be in some config, nto sure where
[05:03] <jr_> dang
[05:03] <jr_> Thanks for the info
[05:03] <Shaun_> there were updates of mozilla but canonical provides its critical updates. can you help me in its maual setup and installeation?
[05:04] <Shaun_> Its next update would be in April 2017 by canonical.
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> Shaun_: its reccomended to use firefox version, for the ubuntu version you have
[05:04] <OerHeks> Shaun_, that is not true
[05:05] <ltk_> why is win8 starting so faster?
[05:05] <Shaun_> You can check out software center if I/m not true.
[05:05] <Shaun_> *I'm
[05:05] <aeon-ltd> ltk_: wrong channel?
[05:06] <rocko> ok hello     i just downloaded nvidia driver on mu ubuntu and now it wont work
[05:06] <Kubishime> Anyone know how to create a bootable USB for Mac in Linux?
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> rocko: from where?
[05:06] <ltk_> no, i want to know linux can reach the plane
[05:07] <zztopless> ltk_ faster than what?  Windows 10 is faster again, but many nix distros are faster, depends what you  value
[05:07] <HoloIRCUser> Linux bootable
[05:07] <HoloIRCUser> Linux bootable ??? For mac???
[05:07] <ltk_> for example?
[05:07] <Shaun_> The installed version does not support many features provided by the latest version. So I just want you to help me in its manual installation.
[05:07] <Kubishime> HoloIRCUser yeah
[05:08] <zztopless> kubuntu 15.05 with kde 5.3 is as fast as windows 10 imo and just as pretty (both still buggy)
[05:08] <Shaun_> Is it possible by the way?
[05:08] <zztopless> *15.04
[05:08] <ltk_> compare with linux( eg: ubuntu 14.04)
[05:08] <OerHeks> Shaun_, and what is that latest version?
[05:08] <zztopless> what flavour of  14.04 are you running that is slow for you and what hardware?
[05:09] <ltk_> lenovo y430p
[05:09] <ltk_> no ssd
[05:09] <Shaun_> Its probably Firefox38
[05:10] <Shaun_> But the installed one is 18.something.
[05:10] <Shaun_> 18.0.2
[05:10] <OerHeks> !info firefox trusty
[05:11] <xangua> Shaun_ what ubuntu release are you using¿
[05:11] <OerHeks> that would be the same as the website :-)
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> doh
[05:11] <Shaun_> 12.04.1
[05:11] <OerHeks> !info firefox precise
[05:11] <xangua> Shaun_ when was the last time you run the update manager¿
[05:13] <Shaun_> I recently have installed ubuntu 12.04.1 might be 15 days ago but did not performed any update though.
[05:14] <ltk_> oh, now i fall a sleep. bye
[05:14] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:15] <OerHeks> then you will end up with 12.04.5
[05:15] <HoloIRCUser> Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator
[05:16] <HoloIRCUser> This will help u to creat usb stick for ubuntu and for all debian base os
[05:16] <Shaun_> Is it not possible to manually install the apps in ubuntu by the way?
[05:17] <brucelee> how do i bake a preseed file into a bootable efi kernel image?
[05:17] <HoloIRCUser> Kubishime
[05:17] <somsip> Shaun_: it is possible, but not always a good idea. Why do you want to do this?
[05:17] <OerHeks> Shaun_, if you are not updated, you will get errors
[05:18] <xangua> so you are far behind security updates and just want to keep on like that¿ Shaun_
[05:18] <xangua> 3 years of security updates far behind
[05:19] <OerHeks> and blaming ubuntu does not upgrade untill 2017 :-D
[05:20]  * OerHeks freak poodle heartbleeds 
[05:22] <wafflejock> Shaun_, it's possible it's just not typically recommended in here since manually installed packages typically don't get updates automatically and aren't tested with the OS so it's at your own risk
[05:23] <Shaun_> The new version is running .
[05:29] <Shaun_> I downloaded the files for the latest version and extracted them. In the files there was an icon of executable file for it. The firefox successfully ran but what is so surprising is it still shows the information of version 18.0.2. Any reasons?
[05:32] <Shaun_> I downloaded the files for the latest version and extracted them. In the files there was an icon of executable file for it. The firefox successfully ran but what is so surprising is it still shows the information of version 18.0.2. Any reasons?
[05:34] <excelsiora> hey, how do I get alt-shift in tty1?
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> Shaun_: you how been suggested not installing firefox from source
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> !tty | excelsiora
[05:38] <excelsiora> lotuspsychje: I'm down with all of that, my problem is the chord alt-shift doesn't work. is there a workaround?
[05:42] <excelsiora> does that make sense?
[05:42] <rick_> Hi All, If the system hang without any kernel message output, what can I do to know why it crash?
[05:42] <excelsiora> that is, I'm in tty1, in emacs orgmode, and alt-shift doesn't work
[05:43] <excelsiora> is there a workaround?
[05:43] <excelsiora> a different term emulator I could use?
[05:43] <excelsiora> tty1?
[05:45] <harishkrupo> rick_, dont you have dmesg output
[05:47] <rick_> harishkrupo, no, the system completely freeze and no console output any more...
[05:48] <harishkrupo> when does it freeze?
[05:48] <harishkrupo> do you suspect any application or does it freeze on login?
[05:49] <rick_> I play 2d test
[05:50] <rick_> and system hang randomly, sometimes play 20 hours without any error, sometimes hang
[05:50] <rick_> Since I update kernel to 3.18.14, I am interesting if I can find what happens in kernel?
[05:51] <harishkrupo> what is 2d test
[05:52] <excelsiora> should I go to Debian or Linux IRC?
[05:52] <harishkrupo> no debian will redirect you back here generally
[05:53] <harishkrupo> and if you are sure it is a kernel issue then you can go to linux irc
[05:53]  * floaterdude says hello people!
[05:54] <harishkrupo> dmesg is the way to find out the messages from the kernel
[05:55] <harishkrupo> rick_, check /var/log/kern.log
[05:55] <somsip> rick_: I'd suspect hardware. Maybe you should investigate hardware issues like overheating
[05:57] <somsip> rick_: ...bad memory...failing mobo/video....etc
[05:58] <rick_> harishkrupo, system freeze and I can't do anything even check /var/log/kern.log
[05:59] <lotuspsychje> rick_: computer brand?
[05:59] <harishkrupo> rick_, kern.log has log of almost 2 days
[05:59] <harishkrupo> rick_, so restart and then check
[06:16] <CondomsOptional> hi
[06:16] <pragomer> I want to install Ubuntu 14.04 on an ACER Aspire E17.. in Bios the harddisk shows "hd0 : frozen"    in Gparted Ubuntu does not see any partition... never had this issue.. whats this, "hd frozen??"
[06:16] <cfhowlett> pragomer, never seen that error but it sounds ominous
[06:16] <CondomsOptional> did you try formatting the drive to the black sector?
[06:16] <CondomsOptional> there is the black thing in gparted
[06:16] <CondomsOptional> t
[06:17] <pragomer> seems like hd is bios protected.. but no chance to edit this..
[06:17] <CondomsOptional> it's the black square it formats it to all 0s I think
[06:17] <pragomer> there ARE partitions on the disk.. because win7 is pre-installed and works !
[06:17] <cfhowlett> pragomer, should be editable on boot up
[06:17] <CondomsOptional> if you wipe the drive clean it should override no matter what
[06:18] <pragomer> mm.. yes.. I wanted to "keep" the windows as dual boot
[06:18] <IVplay> Eeeewwww... Windows...
[06:19] <CondomsOptional> also did you you boot from a flash drive?
[06:21] <tr3ee> if i would like ubuntu to be the primary os i will keep windows in virtualbox, just power up when needed
[06:22] <xangua> is that a statement or a question?
[06:27] <tr3ee> statement
[06:28] <teszt> hy :D
[06:28] <teszt> xubuntu is awesome os :D
[06:30] <teszt> we love this in our school
[06:30] <cfhowlett> teszt, this is the problem solving channel.  continue it #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:47] <cestdiego> hello, anyone around? I'm in big trouble. I accidentally deleted the file `/usr/bin/i386` and I'm too afraid to reboot to see if my system was compromised
[06:48] <unclouded> "sudo ln -s setarch /usr/bin/i386" to get it back if it's Ubuntu 14.04
[06:49] <cestdiego> omg
[06:49] <cestdiego> unclouded: *thanks*
[06:50] <cestdiego> that happens when you try to delete i3 WM by sudo rm /usr/bin/i3* ;_;
[06:51] <cestdiego> oh...but I have Ubuntu 64 bits though...will that be a problem? :Oo
[06:51] <unclouded> same here and that symlink is what it looks like on my system
[06:51] <cestdiego> are there any other i3* stuff there? :(
[06:52] <unclouded> not on this machine although it's a fairly fresh installation
[06:52] <cestdiego> oh ok that's ok same here
[06:52] <cestdiego> I can't thank you enough :unclouded
[06:52] <cestdiego> :3
[06:52] <unclouded> yw
[06:52] <cestdiego> k thx gtg and restart
[06:52] <cestdiego> bai

[06:55] <nxtz> thanks :)
[06:57] <unclouded> how would I go about diagnosing why my scanner doesn't work?  simple-scan hangs with no output.  I have rw permission in /dev/bus/usb/..  it's a CanoScan LiDE 20
[06:58] <AtuM> is there a way to upgrade maverick to natty at this point? can "do-release-upgrade" use "old-releases" ?
[06:58] <cfhowlett> !eolupgrade | AtuM
[06:59] <AtuM> tnx!
[07:14] <brucelee> does installing ubuntu in UEFI mode create an ESP
[07:15] <jeeves_moss> is there a way to set the affinity for MySQL on Debian
[07:15] <cfhowlett> jeeves_moss, wrong channel.  ask #debian
[07:16] <jeeves_moss> cfhowlett, I'm actually runnung Ubuntu on this box.  and ubuntu apparently is a bad word in the #mysql channel
[07:20] <jeeves_moss> ugh....  I want to go back to the 90s.  things were simplier
[07:22] <unclouded> jeeves_moss: go back to the 80s: simpler still
[07:23] <cfhowlett> still too much like work.  go back to the fifties when only government and universities ever had to worry about computers.
[07:26] <unclouded> I suspect some sort of USB3 thing with this scanner.  it doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 on a host with USB3, doesn't work on Debian 7.8 with USB3 but *does* work on Debian 7.8 on a host with USB2 hardware

[08:52] <SubCool_> Ben64, rm: Storage/: is a directory
[08:53] <Ben64> then its a directory
[08:53] <k1l> shibu_: do you know how to install packages from the ubuntu repos?
[08:53] <SubCool_> its a symlink, i just put it there..
[08:53] <shibu_> i have some knowledge
[08:53] <shibu_> I am a new user
[08:53] <Ben64> SubCool_: it isn't
[08:53] <shibu_> So...
[08:53] <SubCool_> lrwxr-xr-x  1 0   80       12 Jun 11 04:48 Storage@ -> /mnt/Storage
[08:54] <Ben64> Storage@ ???

[08:56] <barq> After doing some updates the font size is huge in kubuntu. How can I fix this?
[08:57] <shibu_> Yep i do apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
[08:57] <shibu_> Then what should i do
[08:58] <k1l> shibu_: did it installl?
[08:59] <shibu_> Yes
[08:59] <shibu_> It is install
[08:59] <k1l> so you have adb now.
[08:59] <shibu_> oh nice
[08:59] <shibu_> In the terminal just show 155 kb
[09:00] <shibu_> And install very fast
[09:00] <k1l> adb is not that big
[09:00] <shibu_> Then in my pc adb is install
[09:00] <k1l> shibu_: so you can use adb now
[09:01] <shibu_> ok
[09:01] <shibu_> Ok after install a adb can i root my android phone
[09:02] <k1l> shibu_: that depends on your android device
[09:02] <SubCool_> Ben64, i know its suppsoed to be simple, but i still dont get it. im getting lost.
[09:02] <k1l> best is to ask the ##android specialists how to root your device
[09:03] <SubCool_> let me pastebin something to make sure. i know we just did this yetserday.. but- ugh.

[09:07] <buzz_> Hello, I'm running Vivid on a MacBook Air 6,2 and can't fix the no-brightness-after-sleep problem even though I applied the instructions on the wiki for the driver.
[09:07] <Ben64> SubCool_: so... 'rm Storage\@'
[09:08] <barq> When I try updating I get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found. How can I fix this?
[09:09] <SubCool_> http://pastebin.com/EyVcgsPv
[09:09] <SubCool_> its freenas, bsd.
[09:09] <Ben64> SubCool_: so why are you asking in #ubuntu ...
[09:09] <k1l> barq: raring is out of support. so the repos are shut down.
[09:09] <SubCool_> ur helpful.
[09:09] <k1l> barq: so upgrade asap.
[09:09] <Ben64> SubCool_: yes, for ubuntu issues i'm helpful
[09:10] <k1l> !eolupgrade | barq
[09:10] <SubCool_> yeah, but your still crazy smart.
[09:11] <Ben64> only ubuntu issues are on topic here
[09:12] <SubCool_> k- thanks for trying.
[09:14] <barq> k1l: So I just need to run sudo aptitude install linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic after doing sudo aptitude install update-manager-core update-manager ?
[09:15] <Ben64> barq: i think k1l is saying you need to upgrade to a supported release
[09:15] <barq> k1l: When I do $ lsb_release -d Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS CodeName trusty
[09:16] <Ben64> ooh, then why do you have a raring repository?
[09:16] <barq> I don't know.
[09:16] <k1l> barq: no. you know that you dont get any security updates (like shellshock, ...) etc? you really need to upgrade the ubuntu to at least the 14.04 version.
[09:16] <Ben64> barq: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:16] <k1l> barq: what? why did you mess with your sources then?
[09:16] <barq> I didn't mess with the sources.
[09:17] <k1l> please pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list

[09:21] <chris112> my second monitor is declared as unknown display. how to set correct resolution?
[09:21] <k1l> barq: remove the lines 3 to 9. PPAs and old repos dont belong into the sources.list
[09:23] <barq> ppa?
[09:23] <k1l> barq: and yes, you did mess with the sources.list manually. there is no way a raring repo can come into a sources.list on a saucy.

[09:24] <k1l> barq: remove the lines 3 to 9 in sources.list. neither the PPA nor the raring repo belong in there
[09:24] <barq> Yes, I've done that now.
[09:25] <barq> Anything else I should do?
[09:25] <k1l> then run "sudo apt-get update"
[09:25] <workerbeetwo> HI :) can I step through the stdout thats already on screen to copy it to the clipboard?
[09:25] <barq> done
[09:26] <barq> Also upgrade and dist-upgrade?
[09:26] <k1l> barq: if there are missing updates, yes
[09:27] <barq> No, those two commands did nothing.
[09:27] <barq> However, now the fonts are much bigger than before I did any updates.
[09:27] <barq> I enabled forcedpi now to get them smaller, but not sure that is a good option.
[09:29] <k1l> i dont know how to change the fontsize on kde. see the settings

[10:02] <Swantzter> Hello!
[10:02] <Swantzter> I'm sitting here dividing with myself If I should install Ubuntu on an USB to carry with me and use on different computers when I please
[10:03] <Swantzter> And if I got a 16GB stick, it should work?
[10:04] <Swantzter> And if I boot from that stick it doesnt do anything to my computers HDD right
[10:05] <Swantzter> Am I right on it?
[10:08] <MagePsycho> how to check if command exists.. for shell script
[10:08] <IceBot3000> Swantzter: Provided the computer lets you boot from USB. No, it won't alter the HDD
[10:09] <Swantzter> Nice!
[10:10] <bstarek> Swantzter, I wouldnt let anybody boot my laptop on a usb stick
[10:10] <bstarek> Swantzter, but I assume there is TRUST involved :)
[10:11] <pl7ofit> hellooo
[10:12] <Ben64> Swantzter: you'd probably be better off using a live usb

[10:43] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: nevermind, is it an encrypted install?
[10:43] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, yes it is, I've already unlocked the HDD with the passphrase to be accessible through the live instance
[10:44] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: where is it mounted?
[10:44] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, /media/ubuntu-mate/hugehash here

[10:46] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: when you say lightdm doesn't start you mean you get a black screen?
[10:46] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, the only "useful" information i got from lightdm.log is that is exited with a signal6, before getting a live USB I was going through lynx+google but didnt find anything "useful" bue here's the log

[10:55] <shome> I'm tasked with a disaster recovery mock scenario.
[10:55] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, not being aware of. I've tried quake3 on linux on tuesdat
[10:56] <shome> I mounted a local virtualization recovery point, RDP'd into the server, now i'm tasked with backing up the vm and having some trouble. It's a windows server.
[10:56] <shome> Windows 7 box that is.

[10:58] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, can I try to update my kernel from the live instance or would I have to boot from the HDD to do it?
[10:59] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: you can chroot and update it
[10:59] <EriC^^> if you have an older kernel already trying booting that from grub
[11:00] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, I'ma look into it, be right back!
[11:00] <EriC^^> ok

[11:01] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, apparently I only have one kernel available, how would I got about getting another version, in a safe way

[11:02] <hackal> Svetlana: hdmi
[11:02] <hackal> Svetlana: I have a laptop and monitor connected with hdmi
[11:03] <Svetlana> hmdi what version?
[11:04] <hackal> I do not know, is there a way to check this in system?
[11:06] <hackal> https://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K55VD/specifications/ says just HDMI
[11:06] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: did you mount the partition yet?
[11:07] <hackal> Svetlana: I should have at least hdmi version 1.3
[11:08] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, Yes, I've mounted before checking the logs, orelse I couldnt access said logs
[11:08] <EriC^^> i mean again since checking if you have an older kernel in grub
[11:08] <EriC^^> you did check grub, right?
[11:09] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, silly me, I checked the liveCD I guess \.\
[11:10] <Svetlana> hackal: there is some stuff like http://superuser.com/questions/119755/hdmi-with-resolution-2560-x-1440-possible so if you really want to make it work then you have to mention your hardware in some way. I'm not sure what a "Dell hdmi 1.3 limits the resolution" means, since I would think that a graphics card is more than just "dell". With that you may want to ask the question one more time in one line without highlighting me, as I suspect that this
[11:10] <Svetlana> point is where my knowledge ends.

[11:14] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: ok, let's make this easier and type sudo mount --move /media/ubuntu..../ /mnt

[11:22] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: main hdd you mean your decrypted installation?
[11:22] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: that command should bind mount your /dev from the live usb to the empty /dev dir in your decrypted installation, so we can install new kernels if we need to
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> !wayland | kanupatar
[11:23] <kanupatar> MonkeyDust: I know man.  May I get a distro with waylad only?
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  ask in ##linux or so, this is ubuntu only
[11:24] <kanupatar> MonkeyDust: okay
[11:24] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: if you typed the command and it didn't return anything it means it went through, i have no idea about you saying you have 2 mounts of /dev in your main hdd
[11:26] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, I might've gotten confused or explained myself wrong, here's a picture, I think we achieved what was supposed :) : http://snag.gy/lvedy.jpg

[11:27] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, huh, I can't launch a terminal now
[11:27] <jishjish> hi all. Is there a tool I can use to monitor fan speed and CPU temperature and find out whatever it is that causes the fan to go spinning full speed non stop. Sometimes it happens after a short time and just doesn;'t stop. Other times it just stops randomly.
[11:28] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
[11:28] <jishjish> maybe it's a process or a program on startup maybe it's something else.I have a 8510w compaq
[11:28] <EriC^^> jishjish: psensor is a nice program for monitoring temps
[11:29] <jishjish> for instance right now the fan is not spinning much at all and is not noisy. a moment ago it was full on. not stopping. I
[11:29] <EriC^^> jishjish: open a terminal and keep a running instance of htop or top
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> kanupatar  read everything there is to know on the link ubottu gave you
[11:29] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: odd
[11:30] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: try a different terminal
[11:30] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, I'll restart the liveusb instance and be right back.
[11:30] <EriC^^> xterm or something
[11:30] <jishjish> EriC^^: will it help me find out what is causing it, i.e. log temps in conjunction with runing processes. Can they be logged? I.e. how else can I work out which ones are running on startup. I think one of those is causing it to go nuts.
[11:30] <kuba7447> how do i delete the sample content , do i need root access?
[11:31] <EriC^^> jishjish: it should be pretty obvious, when it heats up check htop and see if anything unusual is there
[11:31] <shome> htop is pretty
[11:32] <jishjish> EriC^^: but how can I do that as the login manager starts up (at that point I haven't logged in and can't run anything
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> kuba7447  yes, for everything outside /home, you need root access
[11:32] <kuba7447> how do i gain root access?
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> kuba7447  with sudo
[11:33] <kuba7447> but i want to remove the folder, do i type something like sudo -rm /usr/share/sample ?
[11:34] <EriC^^> jishjish: log in, and check it, whatever is making it hot before logging in would show up too
[11:34] <jishjish> so i'm loking for the process with the highest ram/cpu -- this would be what's causing the fan?
[11:34] <MonkeyDust> kuba7447  rm -r to remove a folder
[11:35] <kuba7447> thanks, MonkeyDust
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> kuba7447  careful, know what you're doing
[11:35] <EriC^^> yeah look for something that's using up the cpu
[11:35] <kuba7447> ok...
[11:36] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, Ok I`m back with a fresh live instance, can you resend that for loop please?
[11:37] <EriC^^> ok, type for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /media/ubuntu.../hashhere$i; done

[11:55] <mo0p> Hello, I am trying to read an NFC card, i installed drivers for the reader (acr122U) and lsusb shows the device there
[11:56] <kuba7447> macboy? are you using ubuntu on a mac?
[11:56] <mo0p> however ncf-list shows "NO NFC DEVICE DETECTED"
[11:56] <mo0p> can anyone assist ?
[11:59] <mo0p> Hello, I am trying to read an NFC card, i installed drivers for the reader (acr122U) and lsusb shows the device there.. however nfc-list shows "no nfc device found"
[12:02] <MonkeyDust> mo0p  is that for a smart phone or tablet?
[12:03] <mo0p> MonkeyDust, its a USB nfc reader for MiFare card.
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> mo0p  how is that ubuntu related?
[12:04] <mo0p> MonkeyDust, it works on my arch install with same drivers, something else mst be required on Ubuntu..cant seem to figure out what
[12:05] <MonkeyDust> mo0p  what is 'it'? start from the beginning, what brings you here
[12:05] <mo0p> In short i am having issues with an nfc reader and the issue seems to be specific to Ubuntu 14.04.
[12:06] <mo0p> was wondering if any one else had any issues with nfc readers on ubuntu and if so, what was resolution. The reader is detected in lsusb after installing the drivers for the reader. but when i nfc-list when a card is placed on the reader nothing is detected.
[12:07] <mo0p> on my Arch linux install, same drivers and tools it is detected. but i use Ubuntu as my main pc and would like it to work over here.
[12:07] <mo0p> if this is not the place to discuss this, thats cool. I will poke around more on the weekend when i have more time jus tthought this would be a good place to start.
[12:09] <mo0p> Also.. dmesg has output for the device .. it is fully detected and drivers are loaded
[12:10] <brad__> i just installed 14.04 and now want to install windows 7, but it wont boot from cd. What do I do?
[12:11] <kuba7447> brad__, why do you want to install windows?
[12:11] <mo0p> Could try to intrupt boot and select to boot from disk? sometimes an F key will present the user with a boot device selection
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> brad__  better ask in ##windows, this is the ubuntu channel
[12:12] <brad__> I always run ubuntu, but want the windows on there so I can use my cad program
[12:12] <kuba7447> brad__ , do u want to dual-boot ?
[12:12] <brad__> yes
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> brad__  windows will ruin grub and you'll have to repair it
[12:13] <mo0p> if you install windows first then ubuntu .. grub will work its magic too
[12:13] <kuba7447> you can use windows in virtual machine
[12:13] <mo0p> also VM yes
[12:13] <mo0p> anyway... monkeydust... wrong drivers are being loaded... compared dmesg from working linux distro vs ubuntu ... and different drivers are being used
[12:13] <brad__> im unfamiliar with VM
[12:13] <mo0p> thx
[12:13] <kuba7447> do u have another hdd that u can install windows on?
[12:13] <mo0p> brad install windows first then ubuntu and select to install along side windows
[12:14] <brad__> mo0p - I am trying to do that. But ubuntu is already installed and it doesn't allow me to boot from the windows disk when inserted
[12:15] <brad__> got to do some work now...brb
[12:15] <kuba7447> did u encrypted ubuntu when installing?
[12:15] <kuba7447> i had the same problem when i encrypted linux mint
[12:15] <MonkeyDust> mo0p  if you don't get an answer here, there are some 20 people in #linux-nfc
[12:15] <mo0p> brad__ google your laptop manufacture and how to select boot device on start up.. usually an F key will do this for you .. or just enter bios and adjust to book from disk before hdd
[12:15] <kuba7447> *boot
[12:16] <mo0p> MoneyDust Thanks! i will go over there.. but i think i found the issue when compareing dmesg output after plugging in the nfc reader
[12:18] <kuba7447> bye
[12:21] <lunagirl> hi
[12:22] <lunagirl> i upgraded the kernel and when i did autoremove on the old it complained about vmlinuz link being broken
[12:22] <lunagirl> is this some leftover from older framework?
[12:28] <rapper97> I installed Ubuntu with the bootloader on the /efi partition as the help wiki told me, but when I restart Windows Boot Loader does not start.
[12:28] <rapper97> Other tutorials tell me to use dd and bcdedit but that is for MBR not UEFI? so I am confused.
[12:34] <muresan> Has any of you tried to open c++ .sln projects with monodevelop?
[12:35] <MonkeyDust> muresan  this is ubuntu support, try ##programming or so
[12:35] <muresan> alright
[12:37] <EriC^^> rapper97: you say windows boot loader does not start?
[12:38] <rapper97> That is correct - I was lead to believe it would recognize it and start automagically but that is not the case.
[12:38] <rapper97> It just boots straight into Windows after the Linux instal.
[12:38] <EriC^^> rapper97: ok, so you mean the windows boot loader does start
[12:38] <Guest4283> I could'nt get you!!
[12:38] <EriC^^> the ubuntu boot loader doesn't
[12:39] <Guest4283> *couldn't
[12:39] <mstc_> dfafhja
[12:39] <rapper97> Well
[12:39] <mstc_> hi guies you here
[12:40] <rapper97> Windows boots, but the big friendly screen that says "Windows Boot Loader" and presents me options does not appear.
[12:40] <EriC^^> rapper97: it's probably cause of your bios being hardcoded to boot only the windows boot loader
[12:40] <rapper97> That is the behaviour I would like.
[12:40] <Guest4283> Heyy everyone. Can anyone help me with the GParted Partition Editor
[12:40] <EriC^^> rapper97: is this a wubi install?
[12:40] <rapper97> No.
[12:40] <EriC^^> nevermind
[12:41] <EriC^^> rapper97: ok, i don't know about the windows boot loader but i might be able to get ubuntu to boot instead of the windows boot loader, and you can choose to boot ubuntu or windows from there
[12:41] <rapper97> No, I would rather use the Windows Boot Loader, not GRUB.
[12:42] <EriC^^> rapper97: ok, /join ##windows
[12:42] <rapper97> Yes  :)
[12:42] <rapper97> tnx
[12:43] <EriC^^> np
[12:44] <Guest4283> I have got two partitions on the external disk I wanna move the data of one partition to the other and delete it. I need assistance ofr doing it using GParted GParted Partition Editor.
[12:44] <Guest4283> *for
[12:46] <Guest4283> I already have got four primary partitions on the partition that I wanna keep.
[12:47] <auronandace> Guest4283: you mount both partitions then use a file manager to copy what you want over, then you use gparted to delete the partition you want to get rid of
[12:47] <MonkeyDust> Guest4283  four is the highest number of primary partitions
[12:47] <Guest4283> I know
[12:49] <mhammons> hi
[12:49] <scatterp> can anyone help me with this ? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28G Jun 11 15:49 modules.ccwmap
[12:50] <mhammons> i was wondering if there was a reason the xz utility in ubuntu has its threading option disabled?
[12:51] <Guest4283> I'm unable to copy the data on the first partition.
[12:52] <Guest4283> On opening any folder it shows 'You have no permissions to read data on *whatever* folder'
[12:53] <Guest4283> Actually I have got two versions of ubuntu one on each partition.
[12:55] <Guest4283> Data that belongs to the other version cannot be copied directly from the present running. So I need assistance doing it with GParted Partition Editor.
[12:55]  * scatterp listens to the beatles "Help!"
[12:57] <Chetic> How do I cat a multiline file to a variable in gnu make xor find a gnu make irc channel?
[13:01] <Guest4283> How to copy data to an allocated partition with GParted Partiton Editor??
[13:02] <scatterp> Guest4283 i dont think you can you might need to use dd and create a drive image
[13:02] <Guest4283> *without deleting it.
[13:02] <st_d3vil> cp or dd?
[13:03] <Guest4283> dd?
[13:04] <stevenm> Can anyone here who is a dropbox user - tell me... does the dropbox icon show up in your notification area.... or as an application indicator ?!
[13:04] <dididodo> hi ... what tools are there in order to let a peer directly upload a file to my computer? (background: i urgently need a document but dont want it to be sent via email)
[13:05] <MonkeyDust> dididodo  dropbox, box and others
[13:05] <dididodo> MonkeyDust, thank you, i'll check them out
[13:06] <stevenm> i'd hardly call dropbox "direct"
[13:06] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, you still here_
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> dididodo  tonido is more direct  http://www.tonido.com/
[13:07] <mo0p> scp ! lol
[13:07] <dididodo> MonkeyDust, thats a filehosting service, not what I'm looking for
[13:07] <dididodo> ok
[13:07] <mo0p> port forward tcp\22 to your pc ;) and allow him to scp a file over ..
[13:07] <Guest4283> Would cloning work in this case?\
[13:08] <stevenm> dididodo, this 'peer' of yours? is he/she on your network?  if so just right click a folder you want to share and share it
[13:09] <ctz`recover> Hello guys, is it possible to run a system update and to reset grub on my HDD if I-m running from a liveusb right now_
[13:09] <dididodo> stevenm, the 'peer' is my dad, it's not about networking. i just want him to upload once a document needed. i thought more about ftp or someting ...
[13:10] <dididodo> stevenm, we are not on the same network
[13:10] <stevenm> dididodo, ok well the easiest thing do is probably get your dad to download filezilla
[13:10] <dididodo> stevenm, ok
[13:11] <stevenm> dididodo, then if your PC has openssh-server installed... he can use SFTP on filezilla to send you the file
[13:11] <k1l> dididodo: when you start a ssh-server the other user can use scp or sftp to upload a file to your system
[13:11] <stevenm> you'll need to forward port 22 to your PC though from your touer
[13:11] <stevenm> *router
[13:11] <thebrownpup> guys, I read about checkinstall just now that it makes .deb files from the source file given
[13:11] <thebrownpup> the question is
[13:11] <IceBot3000> I suggest writing a new file exchange protocol, then implementing a server in C and sending your dad the client software via USB stick in the post
[13:11] <hrolf> Hi #ubuntu.
[13:11] <hrolf> I'm on Ubuntu and whenever I do sudo apt-get install <something> I get this error -> "E: The package virtualbox-4.3 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it."
[13:12] <vormux> dididodo: syncthing
[13:12] <thebrownpup> does the generated .deb file contain the supporting libraries along with it, so that I can install it in another linux machine?
[13:12] <k1l> hrolf: can you paste all the output into a pastebin?
[13:12] <EriC^^> hrolf: try sudo apt-get -f install
[13:12] <k1l> !paste | hrolf
[13:12] <workerbeetwo> hey. How can I avoid using the mouse in terminal just to copy lines to the clipbaord out of the lines on the stdout screen?
[13:12] <ctz`recover> hey EriC^^ sorry for taking so long but I couldn-t for my life to boot to recovery
[13:12] <dididodo> stevenm, thats more like it ... what ubuntu package do you recommend? i dont want to spend hours reading manuals for installing the ssh-server...
[13:13] <hrolf> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11696175/
[13:13] <stevenm> dididodo, if you install 'ssh' or 'openssh-server' it'll install the same thing
[13:13] <stevenm> dididodo, only the first one 'ssh' will also install the client - which your system will already have anyway
[13:13] <stevenm> no config is needed
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> dididodo  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[13:13] <stevenm> it'll start up straight away
[13:13] <vormux> dididodo: syncthing http://syncthing.net
[13:13] <thebrownpup> does it generate .deb file from the source file or it links the libraries with it too?
[13:14] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: command | xsel
[13:14] <EriC^^> maybe
[13:14] <dididodo> stevenm, MonkeyDust,vormux ... thanks
[13:14] <k1l> hrolf: what ubuntu version are you on exactly? "lsb_release -d" will tell you
[13:14] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: I dont mean jsut to pipe a commands output to somewhere.
[13:15] <thebrownpup> guys, I read about checkinstall just now that it makes .deb files from the source file given. The question is, does the generated .deb file contain the supporting libraries along with it, so that I can install it in another linux machine?
[13:15] <hrolf> k1l: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
[13:15] <stevenm> dididodo, your dad will need to connect to your external IP (see www.canihazip.com) using FileZilla and using SFTP... the username/password - best to use your own (the one you login with every day) - that way he'll be putting the file into the area you see in your home directory
[13:15] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: it will pipe it to the clipboard
[13:15] <stevenm> dididodo, either that or make him a user on your PC for him to log in over SSH with
[13:15] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: I understand your suggestion. but its not what I want.
[13:15] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: command | xsel , then pressing shift+insert or middle mouse will paste the output
[13:15] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: what do you want?
[13:15] <k1l> hrolf: so did you add a PPA for virtualbox or where did it come from?
[13:16] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: think of walking the history of the last commands by using the arrow keys, but it should be walking the lines on the screen that are already processed.
[13:16] <dididodo> stevenm, yes, i got it ... make him a guest user on my box thats a good idea
[13:16] <k1l> hrolf: well. i would suggest to run a "sudo apt-get update" and then see if that error is still there.
[13:17] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, is there any other approach I could try? apparently rebooting into recovery is not an option.
[13:17] <stevenm> so for the last time - does *ANYONE* have dropbox installed on their ubuntu here!?   if so!  is the icon you've got in the corner.... a) in your notification area or b) an application indicator
[13:17] <hrolf> k1l: I don't exactly remember. I had VirtualBox installed few years earlier :)
[13:17] <hrolf> k1l: Okay let me try.
[13:17] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: not recovery, the older kernels
[13:17] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: and then a way to copy a line to the clipboard.
[13:17] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, my motherboard as shift holding options which I cant turn off, so I cant trigger the advanced boot options on ubuntu to allow me to select an older ekrnel
[13:18] <ctz`recover> s/as/has
[13:18] <stevenm> dididodo, right... so when he uploads his files will be in /home/dad/files   and you'll need to nagivate from /home/yourself/  to his area - might need to add yourself to his group so you can view his files... this command will do that.....     sudo usermod -a -G dad $USER     (replace where it says dad)
[13:18] <EriC^^> ctz`recover: chroot like we did before and edit /etc/default/grub to boot an older one
[13:18] <EriC^^> then update-grub
[13:18] <k1l> hrolf: if that error is still there try: "sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-4.3". if that doesnt help we need to try the hard method afterwards
[13:18] <dididodo> stevenm, cool ...thx
[13:19] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: oh, no idea
[13:19] <dididodo> stevenm, i think i can work this out
[13:20] <ctz`recover> EriC^^, just to review, mount /dev/sda1 into the the mountedhdd/boot
[13:20] <ctz`recover> where can I check logs for these channels? i dont wanna keep bothering for command repastes
[13:20] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: you could grep for the line if you knew it
[13:21] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: because stdout is on a file?
[13:21] <hrolf> k1l: Still there. Let me try removing VirtualBox then.
[13:21] <workerbeetwo> is it logged/loggable?
[13:21] <SchrodingersScat> !logs | ctz`recover
[13:21] <hrolf> k1l: Hey, even removing gives same error :)
[13:22] <hrolf> k1l: What's the hard method?
[13:22] <k1l> hrolf: ok, try this: sudo dpkg -P --force-remove-reinstreq virtualbox-4.3
[13:22] <hrolf> k1l: Now fine.
[13:23] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: you could send stdout where ever you want and then get the line you want some how
[13:23] <hrolf> I don't know what went wrong with VirtualBox. It was working fine.
[13:23] <hrolf> k1l: Anyways, I don't have any immediate need for it now. :)
[13:23] <hrolf> k1l: Thanks.
[13:23] <k1l> hrolf: ok.
[13:23] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: if you already know what it has you could do command | grep something | xsel
[13:23] <vetwangcn> are you ok? junlie
[13:23] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: have yo got an idea hwo to autolog stdout ?
[13:24] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: forget about the current command way. just anything on stdout is object of interest here.
[13:25] <HoloIRCUser> How do i use amd driver in ubuntu
[13:25] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: command > /stdout.log 2>&1
[13:26] <EriC^^> that will also redirect stderr
[13:26] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: if your card is still supported by amd install the fglrx
[13:26] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: command > /stdout.log 2> /stderr.log
[13:26] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: you are telling me how I can pass a commands output to a file. that is not at all what I what. :)
[13:26] <HoloIRCUser> Yes but its not configured in ubuntu
[13:27] <HoloIRCUser> I installed it so many time
[13:27] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: anything that is on screen and on stdout shoudl be written to a file, which can be searched later.
[13:27] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: ok, what do you mean by autologging stdout?
[13:27] <stevenm> thebrownpup, i can't speak with any authority as I've never used checkinstall.  But after reading up about it.  The .deb package will *only* contain the files created/modified by the 'make install' script that comes with your source
[13:27] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: ok, script /path/to/log
[13:27] <HoloIRCUser> Iam using amd 7730M gpu
[13:27] <EriC^^> then when you're done type exit
[13:27] <HoloIRCUser> Any help ??
[13:28] <stevenm> thebrownpup, if you've had to install dependencies prior to running ./configure - or had to install dependencies after it was installed to make it run - then no these wouldn't be in that .deb
[13:28] <HoloIRCUser> In dell inspiron 15R 7520 SE
[13:28] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: script?
[13:28] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: yeah, it's a command
[13:28] <EriC^^> it will log the whole session
[13:28] <HoloIRCUser> Please help for installation of amd gpu driver in laptop
[13:28] <k1l> !details | HoloIRCUser
[13:29] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: what is the exact issue?
[13:29] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: ah ok. I thought thats a generic expression. this looks good.
[13:29] <HoloIRCUser> Everytime i install amd driver and restart my system i see menu
[13:29] <workerbeetwo> perhaps the bash guys can tell me more abotu reading that logfiel then.
[13:29] <HoloIRCUser> Restart or restore
[13:29] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: which ubuntu is it exactly?
[13:30] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: maybe, it's not a bash built-in though
[13:30] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: but there is a similar function.
[13:30] <HoloIRCUser> I tried in 12.04 12.10 13.04 13.10
[13:30] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: which function?
[13:30] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: 12.10, 13.04,13.10 are not supported anyway. what about 14.04?
[13:31] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: nevermind, i guess you mean it's useful for writing scripts
[13:31] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: and what ubuntu are you running now exactly?
[13:31] <HoloIRCUser> 12.04 is still supported till 2017
[13:31] <wsdjeg> 你好
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> !cn
[13:31] <HoloIRCUser> Rightnow iam not running ubuntu
[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hello all
[13:31] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: <k1l> HoloIRCUser: 12.10, 13.04,13.10 are not supported anyway.   <<< where did i mention 12.04??
[13:32] <wsdjeg> 目前在用irssi
[13:32] <wsdjeg> 够赞的聊天室
[13:32] <k1l> wsdjeg: this channel is english only
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> HoloIRCUser  so now you're on ubuntu 12.04 ?
[13:32] <wsdjeg> ubuntu 15-4
[13:33] <workerbeetwo> EriC^^: no. it improves my workflow.
[13:33] <wsdjeg> i use the irssi tu join the irc
[13:33] <dawnson> Jordan_U: it worked btw :)
[13:34] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: i see issues with 13.04 and 13.10 and that its solution is 1) to update the bios and 2) try 14.04
[13:36] <EriC^^> workerbeetwo: k
[13:40] <HoloIRCUser> Yes i updated my bios to latest version but no luck
[13:40] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: and 14.04?
[13:41] <wangshidong> 15-3
[13:41] <wangshidong> 15.04
[13:41] <HoloIRCUser> Today iam going to install ubuntu 14.04 any other proper procedure to install amd driver
[13:42] <wangshidong> new version ubuntu need UEFI boot
[13:42] <HoloIRCUser> With intel 4000hd
[13:42] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: that seems to be a hybrid card. and amd just supports that cards on linux since a short time. so please try 14.04
[13:43] <HoloIRCUser> Okk
[13:43] <HoloIRCUser> I try it but any proper way to installhybrid drivers
[13:43] <wangshidong> why don't u use 15.04
[13:43] <HoloIRCUser> For intel 4000HD and AMD 7730M
[13:44] <k1l> HoloIRCUser: yes, boot the ubuntu, then install fglrx from the repo
[13:44] <chotaz`w> EriC^^, I tried a very manual but that ended up working solution, care to tell me where to go next?
[13:45] <wangshidong> i use the unetbootin
[13:45] <chotaz`w> EriC^^, without being able to chroot into my hdd or even access the recovery menu, I edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually and changed the default kernel loaded from 3.19.0.20 to 3.19.0.17, saved the file and rebooted
[13:45] <troop> hello, i have created lamp stack on ubuntu, then installed vsftpd. now i am developing test project from remote but everytime i created a php file it needs to change permissions for running.. how can i fix this situaton?
[13:45] <troop> i am connected via root user
[13:46] <chotaz`w> EriC^^, that led to being presented with the recovery options by default so I choose to load an older kernel and apparently I managed to boot now
[13:46] <wangshidong> change to 777
[13:46] <TheBard> if I can see a network drive in the GUI, how can I navigate to it from the terminal?
[13:46] <troop> wangshidong everytime i change to 755

[14:04] <Guest____> I've got two linux versions on each partition and want to copy the data of one version to the other while I'm logging in from destination OS. Please help its urgent!
[14:04] <Pici> wangshidong: empathy is a poor IRC client.  If you really really want to use IRC in empathy, you'll need to install the telepathy-idle package.
[14:05] <reisio> Guest____: /nick urgentman
[14:05] <wangshidong> i has installed
[14:05] <reisio> dasoren: how'd you install curl?
[14:05] <Pici> Guest____: You want to copy a partition over the partition that you are currently using?
[14:05] <dasoren> apt-get install
[14:05] <wangshidong> but i cant see the IRC in the empathy
[14:05] <Guest____> yeah
[14:05] <wangshidong> yes
[14:06] <Pici> wangshidong: I believe  that you'll need to add a new account in empathy for that.
[14:06] <wangshidong> sudo apt-get install
[14:06] <dasoren> sudo su, apt-get install
[14:06] <Pici> Guest____: You shouldn't, and can't, overwrite a partition that is in use.
[14:06] <wangshidong> i has use ubuntu for five years
[14:07] <wangshidong> i know how tu install the widget
[14:08] <wangshidong> and the 15.04 has a bug about the java
[14:08] <Guest____> So how can I backup the data on that partition.
[14:09] <Guest____> I cant access the data on that partition the data . Any other way?
[14:09] <Pici> Guest____: Use a live-cd or similar.
[14:10] <wangshidong> bye good night
[14:11] <Guest____> Use a live cd for what?
[14:11] <Guest____> It can be used to reinstall the system but that would create another partition!
[14:12] <Guest____> Or you mean something else?
[14:16] <Guest____> Another thing if I remove the hard drive and plug into a Windows system that is available to me in another system it is unable to read the contents in that partition.
[14:16] <pbx> somehow i messed up notifications on my 14.04 unity setup. they used to appear in the upper right, nicely styled. now they are small pale-blue rectangles in the upper left.  and the volume-change indicator doesn't appear at all. how might i investigate/fix?
[14:16] <Pici> Guest____: You don't need to run the installer process from the live CD, just open the terminal and do your thing.
[14:17] <temoc> HOLA
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> pbx  try this: system settings > displays > scale for menu
[14:18] <Johnny_Linux> ohluh
[14:18] <temoc> quiero instalar spotify y no e podido
[14:18] <MonkeyDust> !es
[14:25] <klez> hello everyone
[14:25] <polyphagia> hi klez
[14:26] <pbx> MonkeyDust, interesting, thanks. that didn't fix it unfortunately. i think installing i3 may have been the cause of this, though AFAICT i have now removed it
[14:28] <Pinkamena_D> I have had a custom keyboard shortcut set up for Ctrl+Alt+Super+D which has been working fine for months, and now it will not. It works if I assign it to another set of keys, like Ctrl+Alt+4, but re assigning it back to the original does not work.
[14:28] <Pinkamena_D> I have not installed anything new that I am aware of, and each of these keys seem to work correctly on their own.
[14:28] <Pinkamena_D> Any idea how to fix this?
[14:31] <Pinkamena_D> Even if I just move the shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Super+A or some other letter then it works, just not D
[14:31] <Pinkamena_D> but the D key types fine
[14:37] <wsdjeg> hello
[14:38] <k1mmyyy> hey guys i'm going crazy here
[14:38] <Pinkamen1_D> cool
[14:38] <k1mmyyy> i have an sd card, but it won't let me delete the files from it
[14:39] <Pinkamen1_D> did you flip the little plastic part on the side to 'lock' possibly?
[14:39] <k1mmyyy> nope
[14:39] <Pinkamen1_D> I had mine mounted as a read-only filesystem somehow recently
[14:39] <k1mmyyy> i have an identical one that *is* working, and when i do it with that one, i can first delete the files in the file browser, and then they go to this hidden .Trash folder (but still take up space on the card), but i can get rid of them from there by doing rm /media/blablablah/*
[14:39] <kuba7447> what card reader are you using?
[14:40] <Pinkamen1_D> If you want to perma delete just use Shift+Del
[14:40] <k1mmyyy> but with this one that's not working, when i try the rm /location one, it says "can't remove, read only file system"
[14:40] <k1mmyyy> hmm thanks i'll keep that in mind
[14:40] <tsoutseki> i know this is not a homework helping channel, but i need some help with C coding. someone msg me if you are eager to help (it is an easy thing). thanks
[14:40] <rypervenche> k1mmyyy: what happens if you try to touch a nee file on the SD card? what output do you get?
[14:40] <k1mmyyy> they have the same exact output of sudo fdisk -l and then ls -l /dev/theirlocation
[14:40] <cfhowlett> tsoutseki, not a homework site and not even the right channel.  ask ##c
[14:40] <k1mmyyy> rypervenche, lemme check
[14:41] <lno1> I'm trying to collect two environment variables from a curl command. I want both the HTTP code as well as the actual response content.
[14:41] <cfhowlett> tsoutseki, or #c++
[14:41] <Pinkamen1_D> I got that filesystem issue with mine recently. I had a built in laptop card reader and an expresscard reader. When I moved the card from the build in to the express then it started working.
[14:41] <k1mmyyy> rypervenche, cannot touch, read only file system
[14:41] <k1mmyyy> i've also added myself to the disk group
[14:41] <Pinkamen1_D> Also functionality returned on both after I restarted
[14:41] <k1mmyyy> since that's what group it says in fdisk -l
[14:42] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, it is also a built in SD card reader
[14:42] <michaliskasapas> hi
[14:42] <k1mmyyy> i'm just confused since the working one and non working one have the same filesystem, same group, same owner, same permissions
[14:42] <k1mmyyy> what's different?
[14:42] <Pinkamen1_D> You can try to manually umount it and mount -rw but when I tried that it still gave some error that it would not mount because it was explicitly read-only or something
[14:42] <Pinkamen1_D> My best guess for this is that the plastic lock thing it a bit glitchy but I could be midtaken.
[14:43] <michaliskasapas> sup guys!!!!!!!!!1
[14:43] <michaliskasapas> :)
[14:43] <k1mmyyy> i tried remounting it using a command online, it didn't give an error but still didn't work
[14:43] <cfhowlett> michaliskasapas, not a social channel.  ask your ubuntu questions
[14:43] <k1mmyyy> hm, lemme try fiddling with it i guess...
[14:43] <Pinkamen1_D> did you add the -rw stitch to the mount command?
[14:43] <michaliskasapas> e??
[14:43] <Pinkamen1_D> switch*
[14:44] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, i did sudo mount -o remount,rw /media/mydisklocation
[14:44] <k1mmyyy> can't i just like, sudo chmod stuff
[14:45] <Pinkamen1_D> I guess that translates to about the same
[14:45] <michaliskasapas> i love ubuntu!
[14:45] <Pinkamen1_D> no, because the filesystem being readonly changes you from touching any bits including the ownership ones
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> michaliskasapas  thank you for sharing your deepest feelings with us, but stick to ubuntu questions
[14:45] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, even if i use my root account?
[14:45] <michaliskasapas> ok
[14:45] <michaliskasapas> sr
[14:46] <michaliskasapas> i have
[14:46] <gogis> hey guys
[14:46] <Pinkamen1_D> I believe so. I have had this with network mounted filesystems that were rw, the local root still got permission denied.
[14:46] <michaliskasapas> i try to put the ubuntu in old pc but the say /tmp not work!
[14:46] <k1l> michaliskasapas: we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, because we try to keep this channel cllear for support and to help people with ubuntu issues
[14:46] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, you appear to be correct
[14:46] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, just tried it, said read only for all the files/folders...
[14:46] <k1mmyyy> what the hell can i do?
[14:47] <Pinkamen1_D> do you have any other SD readers handy?
[14:47] <michaliskasapas> plz help me
[14:47] <michaliskasapas> :(
[14:47] <cfhowlett> michaliskasapas, old PC?  use lubuntu
[14:47] <cfhowlett> !lubuntu
[14:47] <k1l> michaliskasapas: did you try lubuntu?
[14:47] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, hmm, not here i think...
[14:47] <michaliskasapas> i know man
[14:48] <michaliskasapas> lubuntu!! i know it
[14:48] <k1mmyyy> it's just so weird, these are literally identical sd cards
[14:48] <kuba7447> LXDE looks ugly
[14:49] <k1l> kuba7447: well, that is your personal opinion. others might have a differen opinion
[14:49] <Pinkamen1_D> can you try mounting somewhere else? $ umount ... $ mkdir -p /media/test $ mount -rw /dev/... /media/test
[14:49] <Pinkamen1_D> ?
[14:49] <Pinkamen1_D> (sudo those)
[14:49] <michaliskasapas> preload is good??
[14:51] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, what filesystem type sholud i specify?
[14:51] <Pinkamen1_D> I have not had to
[14:51] <k1mmyyy> hmm...
[14:51] <k1mmyyy> when i tried mount it said i have to...
[14:51] <Pinkamen1_D> but it would depend on how it is formatted
[14:52] <Pinkamen1_D> oh that sounds not too good, like it had trouble reading/dececting it
[14:52] <Pinkamen1_D> I would guess that SDs could be FAT32 but you could theoretically use many filesystems
[14:54] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, yeah, from fdisk, it's W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[14:55] <michaliskasapas> what is /tmp ???
[14:55] <k1mmyyy> hahahahah
[14:55] <k1mmyyy> welp, this is making me crazy
[14:55] <k1mmyyy> is there some way i can easily just reformat it?
[14:55] <Pinkamen1_D> you can try gparted
[14:56] <michaliskasapas> plz guys what is /tmp
[14:56] <Pinkamen1_D> that is the package name
[14:56] <michaliskasapas> aaa ty man
[14:56] <michaliskasapas> i have a pr with this
[14:56] <michaliskasapas> i try to put on low pc lubuntu
[14:56] <Pinkamen1_D> l
[14:56] <michaliskasapas> and a have error
[14:56] <Pinkamen1_D>  /tmp is just a temporary part of the file system, sometimes mounted as a ramdisk, and usually writable my all users.
[14:57] <Pinkamen1_D> by*
[14:57] <michaliskasapas> ty man
[14:57] <michaliskasapas> cy guys
[14:57] <michaliskasapas> love
[14:57] <kuba7447> tmp = temporary

[15:03] <cfhowlett> !patience | michaliskasapas
[15:03] <michaliskasapas> ok sr man
[15:03] <compdoc> whats preload?
[15:03] <michaliskasapas> faster load for ram
[15:04] <michaliskasapas> but if is only 1gb is it bad?
[15:04] <kuba7447> can i mix two different ram sticks?
[15:04] <michaliskasapas> yes but

[15:05] <epicnah> i was installed ubuntu 15 server with usb stick + squid network proxy connection. why do i got kernel error during the ubuntu 15 server error install for my intel i5 proc ?
[15:05] <Arlo> looks like preload is a readahead daemon
[15:05] <Arlo> i am looking to find network collisions on a switch
[15:05] <cfhowlett> epicnah, md5sum you .iso and your boot USB
[15:05] <epicnah> aha

[15:07] <epicnah> aye aye sir
[15:10] <skinux> Do the latest repos have PhpMyAdmin version 4.4?
[15:11] <Arlo> sudo apt-cache search PhpMyAdmin
[15:11] <Arlo> type that
[15:11] <epicnah> all my iso have matched md5, why do i still got error for my intel i5 proc :( is it squid network matter of my PC hardware problem ? i have tried it since yesterday, still no luck for me :( any idea?
[15:11] <daum> hey guys i'm following http://work.allaboutken.com/node/21 to add multiple ips to a single ubuntu machine.  It works for a secondary ip, if i add a 3rd ip should it be tab 3 or should it still be tab 2?
[15:11] <skinux> I know ubuntu repos have PhpMyAdmin, I'm asking about the specific version
[15:11] <epicnah> ***of or
[15:11] <Pici> skinux: The next release of Ubuntu will have 4.4, but that isn't due until October
[15:11] <k1mmyyy> Pinkamen1_D, for future reference tell people to use gparted, i just nuked the stupid SD card and now it works
[15:11] <k1mmyyy> thanks bye
[15:12] <Arlo> gotcha sorry
[15:12] <skinux> Well, I'm just noticing that the documentation pages for PhpMyAdmin doesn't even list 4.0 anymore.
[15:13] <skinux> Well, it lists a bunch of 3.x versions and then 4.4
[15:13] <michaliskasapas> guys
[15:16] <Arlo> skimux  look here you can d/l not sure on repositorieshttp://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
[15:16] <Arlo> oooops skinux
[15:17] <skinux> Documentation lists a PPA, but will that replace the default installation or would it be an additional installation?
[15:18] <Arlo> i do not know, ill leave that for someone else to answer

[15:26] <supersmilers> Hi. I tried Ubuntu Mate but It won't install certain packages when I installed Ubuntu in Virtual machine. My host is Windows 8.1 Pro on Surface Pro 3.
[15:26] <k1l> michaliskasapas: what ubuntu is it exactly? is it installed or live version? what is the exact errormessage? ....
[15:26] <k1l> michaliskasapas: details matter
[15:27] <compdoc> supersmilers, which packages?
[15:27] <sara_> i remembered i have team viewer and i booted and put in my password and now i can log in and see desktop on my mobile team viewer app
[15:28] <supersmilers> Normally it would hang on configuring desktop packages that are kernel based like desktop-base.
[15:31] <supersmilers> How do I fix that without reinstalling Ubuntu Mate every time when it happens.
[15:32] <nicomachus> -f install?
[15:33] <k1l> supersmilers: i am not aware of any such issue
[15:33] <k1l> supersmilers: can you pastebin some examples?
[15:34] <supersmilers> I always install those kind of packages through Synaptic Package Manager and my Virtualization Host client is Hyper-V
[15:37] <sara_> bstarek i got team viewer on my machine and i can log in using team viewer app on my mobilephone
[15:37] <sara_> bstarek i am installing team viewer app on wifes comp so i can work better
[15:38] <supersmilers> Too bad Hyper-V don't have 3D support for Linux OS distros
[15:39] <bstarek> sara_, you said you werent able to login to your computer?or to bootup?
[15:39] <SaucisseCocktail> Hi everybody, Who get sometimes a very slow menu in Kodi 14.02 ? strangely, it seems to get correct after going in the video system menu...
[15:39] <bstarek> SaucisseCocktail, this is kodi bro
[15:39] <bstarek> isnt
[15:39] <sara_> i ll say again.....when i boot my comp i got no picture
[15:39] <bstarek> SaucisseCocktail, this ISNT kodi
[15:39] <bstarek> sara_, black screen?
[15:39] <sara_> but if i put in password i can hear login sound
[15:40] <sara_> it is black but not off
[15:40] <bstarek> sounds like driver issues
[15:40] <bstarek> sara_, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:40] <sara_> ubuntu studio 14.04
[15:41] <supersmilers> The version of Ubuntu Mate I used is 15.04
[15:42] <bstarek> sara_, it all started after an upgrade?
[15:42] <sara_> yes
[15:42] <sara_> update
[15:42] <sara_> 2 days ago
[15:42] <chotaz`w> !nomodeset
[15:43] <bstarek> sara_, what is your desktop environnement?
[15:43] <chotaz`w> sara_, no mode set just saved my life after a fault kernel upgrade
[15:43] <sara_> hmm ubuntu studio default :P xfce maybe?
[15:43] <sara_> ok i ll look into that link.....is it complicated
[15:43] <bstarek> sara_, let me check that real quick
[15:43] <sara_> ?
[15:44] <sara_> ok
[15:44] <TheEagerPadawan> Hi i wonder if a future employer refers in a job description up to 3 years of experience means that you need to have at least 3 years of exp or if he means it to be maxium 3 years
[15:44] <bstarek> sara_, you got an nvidia card?
[15:44] <sara_> yp
[15:45] <supersmilers> Anyway, I have better luck with Raspbian on my RPi 2 than my tablet.
[15:45] <k1l> TheEagerPadawan: that better suits into #ubuntu-offtopic since its not ubuntu related :)
[15:45] <Guest86091> Hi
[15:45] <TheEagerPadawan> k1l: my bad, moving channels
[15:45] <telesto> Hey all. Is there a way to give someone SSH access to just one directory, which also can be served by nginx? I thought maybe a chroot but wasn't sure if that would prevent the web server from serving those files
[15:45] <thisischrys> is there a way to run a single application with a different WM? I tried exporting WINDOW_MANAGER in a terminal before running it but that didn't help
[15:45] <Guest86091> I have a problem with server that running ubuntu, is this a proper channel to ask question about it?
[15:46] <supersmilers> Would pure Debian work better in Virtual Machine than Ubuntu?
[15:46] <sudoritz> can i show abolute file path but also show permissions too  like ls -lart rwxrwxrwx but show files for 2 levels /folder1/file.xxx

[15:51] <bstarek> sara_, full model please
[15:51] <sara_> im currently writing from wifes comp...lenovo E325 but this one is ok
[15:51] <sara_> my comp is stationary...or how to say
[15:52] <bstarek> sara_, what is model? or graphic card model?
[15:52] <compdoc> desktop?
[15:53] <sara_> my graphic card is nvidia 560 gtx
[15:54] <bstarek> sara_, ok one sec
[15:55] <sara_> ok i did this "sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current-updates" nvidia current updates is not installed and no info is available
[15:57] <ltk_> hello, i want know what is mean that 'LIST_POSION1' and 'LIST_POSION2' from linux kernel file "list.h"
[15:57] <bstarek> sara_, ok one sec
[15:58] <sara_> am using nvidia 331.113 propriatery drivers
[15:58] <sara_> just checked
[15:59] <thisischrys> ltk_: they're pointers to trap wrong use of freed list heads
[15:59] <thisischrys> why?
[15:59] <bstarek> sara_, try this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/469377/cant-install-ubuntu-14-04-shows-black-screen-gtx-750-ti
[16:01] <ltk_> thisischrys: the function "list_del" how to work by two macros
[16:03] <thisischrys> ltk_: this really isn't the place for linux kernel support or explanations, I suggest #kernelnewbies on irc.oftc.net
[16:03] <bstarek> sara_, try this link too    "http://askubuntu.com/questions/561948/ubuntu-14-04-nvidia-331-update-problem"

[16:05] <bstarek> sara_, i'm just googling my a** lol...i am trying to help, sorry if you dont get results.
[16:05] <bstarek> :)
[16:06] <ioria> ltk_ http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-11-sect-5
[16:06] <bstarek> sara_, by experience i know that nvidia could give troubles for graphic cards, that one needs to make sure to pickup the right one. if not, you need to un-install and re-install the right ones.

[16:10] <MonkeyDust> g105b  is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/NTP.html
[16:10] <crocket> ok
[16:10] <g105b> MonkeyDust: thanks, didn't realise it ran as a service.
[16:11] <bstarek> sara_, let me check..one minute
[16:11] <crocket> I just had to insert 'radeon' into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and execute 'update-initramfs -u -k all'.

[16:13] <sara_> bstarek thanks

[16:13] <ImJune> Hello
[16:13] <bstarek> sara_, you are welcome, glad to help.
[16:14] <crocket> Even with 'radeon' in initrd, the monitor gets no signal during ubuntu boot.
[16:14] <ImJune> I am trying to run this command after pressing ctr alt f1 "diff -ns ~/dmesg_boot ~/dmesg > ~/dmesg_diff"
[16:15] <ImJune> I am getting permission denied statement
[16:15] <sara_> really appreciate your help bstarek
[16:15] <bstarek> sara_, no problem, good luck with your issue.
[16:17] <ImJune> is there a way to enter that command
[16:17] <ImJune> I am guessing I should be root
[16:17] <panicbit> Hi, I'm trying to update to PHP 5.4 on lucid using this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php5-oldstable    But apt still wants to install PHP 5.3 from the distro repo. Any ideas why that might be?
[16:17] <panicbit> (Yes I did apt-get update)
[16:19] <fullstack> Anyone have the problemw here Chrome goes crazy and displays a bunch of pink tab squares instead of a webpage?
[16:20] <Pici> panicbit: What release of Ubuntu are you running now?
[16:21] <panicbit> Pici: 10.04.4
[16:21] <Pici> panicbit: Well, that PPA only has packages for 12.04.
[16:21] <panicbit> oO
[16:21] <panicbit> Oh right
[16:22] <Pici> panicbit: Additionally, 10.04 was dropped from Ubuntu support on April 30th.
[16:22] <Pici> !lucid
[16:22] <panicbit> Pici: Then I only need to adjust my sources line... The packages work fine when installed manually
[16:22] <Pici> panicbit: well, good luck with that ;)
[16:22] <panicbit> Pici: Eh, I sadly can't upgrade...
[16:22] <panicbit> Pici: vserver suckage
[16:23] <panicbit> Pici: The server is a big mess of software pulled from newer versions... :/
[16:23] <Pici> panicbit: Gross. At least you recognise it though.
[16:24] <sara_> bstarek im in :D
[16:24] <bstarek> sara_, great :), how did you fo?
[16:24] <bstarek> do
[16:25] <panicbit> Pici: Hm, I think the PPA has dropped support for lucid...
[16:26] <panicbit> Oh well...
[16:26] <sara_> trough team viewer i logged on my pc and changed drivers to xserver-xorg-video nuveau from nvidia 331.113
[16:26] <sara_> i just got one final question
[16:26] <bstarek> ok good
[16:26] <sara_> i work with graphics specially with 3D so i need better drivers....which driver should i choose now?
[16:27] <bstarek> sara_, i cant tell you, you will have to make some research on google.
[16:27] <sara_> ok np
[16:27] <bstarek> sara_, or maybe try the nvidia forum
[16:28] <bstarek> sara_, but I am sure you will find the information if you look for it.
[16:28] <notevenandrew> Hello, I made a udev rule to run a script every time i connect my phone, but now my phone won't auto-mount in /run/user/1000/gvfs/ Does anyone have any  suggestions im stuck!
[16:29] <epicnah> sara, apple pc is good for designer CMIW. im using intel, comfort with nvidia in my opion :)
[16:29] <sara_> i hate apple
[16:30] <sara_> i work on mac pro at work
[16:30] <epicnah> but the color is more deep in apple
[16:31] <sara_> lol
[16:31] <sara_> u joking
[16:31] <bstarek> sara_, try this "http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/84721/en-us"  in "supported products"
[16:31] <sara_> u mean difference between rec 709 and sRGB display device?
[16:34] <epicnah> really ?
[16:34] <sara_> what really?
[16:35] <epicnah> np
[16:35] <sara_> look for comparison between rec709 and sRGB
[16:35] <sara_> if you dont belive me
[16:37] <sara_> i ll log back in from my main comp under vandorius nick ;)
[16:37] <notevenandrew> Ok so apparently GVFS stands for gnome virtual filesystem. Therefore it is obvious that nothing is mounted there since nautilus doesn't automatically mount it (or detect it)
[16:37] <vandorius> hey
[16:37] <notevenandrew> How can i manually mount that MTP device somewhere else then :-)
[16:38] <Pici> notevenandrew: iirc, you can access it from the shell by going into ~/.gvfs/  I might be confusing things though (I'm not a desktop person)
[16:41] <notevenandrew> Pici: thanks for the input, but i think you missed the context: The automount was working well, and it was mounting my device under /run/user/1000/gvfs/mtp:[blabla], i put some custom rules in udev, and this automount thing stopped working. So i am looking for a manual way to mount it somewhere from the script im running
[16:45] <Pici> notevenandrew: oh, sorry, I did miss a bunch.
[16:50] <JinjaNinja> I have JACK Virtual Keyboard running, and It's connected to Calf Organ plugin. For some reason though, it doesn't make sound.
[16:55] <fgro> hi all. so I helped a friend of my mother to switch from windows vista to ubuntu. everything works fine, except for her printer/scanner. it's a brother mfc-j430w. any recommendations on how to deal with this? I think the best would be for her to get a new printer/scanner that works plug and play since I'm several hours away and don't have remote access to her machine. Thanks for your advice.
[16:57] <LinuxNewb> herro
[16:57] <lotuspsychje> fgro: check apt-cache search brother, maybe your printers drivers show there
[16:58] <LinuxNewb> Why is ubuntu so bad
[16:58] <lotuspsychje> LinuxNewb: this is not the right place for this kind of opinions
[16:59] <BluesKaj> LinuxNewb, tell us what's bad so we can help you make it good
[16:59] <ImJune> I dunno
[16:59] <ImJune> I had my mousepad fixed
[16:59] <ImJune> I had to reinstall and now my "touchpad" rather is not working agian
[16:59] <BluesKaj> LinuxNewb, or are you just to complain?
[16:59] <ImJune> I went to /etc/default/grub
[17:00] <LinuxNewb> Well the fact that ubuntu is like the windows of the gnu world, they want to only make money
[17:00] <BluesKaj> here
[17:00] <fgro> lotuspsychje: i tried to install the printer, but there were no drivers available. i found instructions which included complex commandline instructions, but it didn't work.
[17:00] <bazhang> LinuxNewb, wrong channel
[17:00] <LinuxNewb> on top of that unity is trash
[17:00] <BluesKaj> LinuxNewb, then you're in the wrong place for that discusssion
[17:00] <ImJune> changed the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= as I did before
[17:00] <ImJune> but this fix doesnt work
[17:01] <ImJune> any more
[17:01] <ImJune> is there somekind of kernel bug or something I can fix?
[17:01] <lotuspsychje> !details | ImJune
[17:02] <ImJune> Ok so my laptops touchpad is not responding

[17:02] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: did you have same on 14.04?
[17:02] <LinuxNewb> ImJune i can help you , just open a terminal
[17:02] <ImJune> ok
[17:02] <ImJune> terminal is open
[17:02] <LinuxNewb> now type sudo poweroff
[17:02] <lotuspsychje> !ops | LinuxNewb
[17:02] <bazhang> LinuxNewb, dont try anything silly here
[17:03] <ImJune> nice troll
[17:03] <narkman> XD
[17:03] <LinuxNewb> :P
[17:03] <LinuxNewb> was your touchpad working before? or like just suddenly it stopped?
[17:03] <ImJune> I have fixed this issue in the past editing the grub file in /etc/default
[17:04] <ImJune> No I mean I had to reinstall and the prior fix that I used wont work agiann
[17:04] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: what fix?
[17:05] <notevenandrew> Wherever i searched, they tell you to install and use go-mtpfs
[17:05] <notevenandrew> but i can't install that xD
[17:05] <lotuspsychje> notevenandrew: wich ubuntu version do you have?
[17:06] <notevenandrew> 15.04
[17:06] <lotuspsychje> !info mtpfs
[17:06] <ImJune> adding i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line
[17:06] <ImJune> as before there was only "quiet splash"
[17:07] <ImJune> this fix had worked prior
[17:07] <notevenandrew> !info go-mtpfs
[17:07] <notevenandrew> it is in another repository, but i added it :<
[17:07] <ImJune> any ideas?
[17:07] <bazhang> !find gmtp
[17:07] <bazhang> its gmtp
[17:08] <notevenandrew> okay let me try it :)
[17:08] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: never seen that addline sorry, where did you find that?
[17:08] <ImJune> etc/default/grub
[17:09] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: i mean wich tutorial/forum?
[17:09] <ImJune> moment
[17:11] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: sounds like this kind of bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1448665
[17:11] <ImJune> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2233632&page=2

[17:12] <fgro> so what i'm looking for is a plug and play printer/scanner for 14.04 .. i found this list, but anyone with recommendations https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners
[17:12] <narkman> yes
[17:12] <lotuspsychje> fgro: hp always does the trick
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> fgro: with hplip tools its gonna be your best bet with ubuntu
[17:13] <fgro> lotuspsychje: hplip needs to be manually installed I assume?
[17:13] <fgro> lotuspsychje: or does it come with ubunut preinstalled?
[17:13] <lotuspsychje> !info hplip | fgro
[17:14] <lotuspsychje> fgro: optional
[17:14] <fgro> ok
[17:14] <fgro> lotuspsychje: thanks
[17:14] <lotuspsychje> fgro: no prob
[17:14] <ImJune> can you share how you fixed it?
[17:15] <ImJune> everysingle time I reboot there is an error message system problem detected
[17:15] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection
[17:16] <ImJune> I have been there but some of their instructions don't even work
[17:16] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: did you try a no_acpi boot?
[17:16] <ImJune> how to do that?
[17:16] <lotuspsychje> !nomodeset | ImJune
[17:17] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: same way you set nomodeset, try no_acpi
[17:18] <ImJune> Ok I will try this
[17:20] <ImJune> shall I add exactly this ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\""   ?
[17:20] <ImJune> as shown in your link?
[17:20] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: no, not the nomodeset
[17:21] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: try F6 at boot and get into boot options for no_acpi
[17:21] <ImJune> so don't alter grub from inside
[17:21] <ImJune> ?
[17:21] <ImJune> do all this at boot ?
[17:21] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: yes you can try from boot
[17:22] <ImJune> I cant
[17:22] <ImJune> doesnt give me that option
[17:22] <ImJune> because I have disabled the grub screen
[17:22] <lotuspsychje> ImJune: http://askubuntu.com/questions/160036/how-do-i-disable-acpi-when-booting

[17:35] <nimbiotics> Hello everyone. There is only one user in my ubuntu 14.04 installation. I mistakenly took ,myself out of the sudoers group. Is there a way to fix that?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: use root recovery console from Grub
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: you can then add your user to the sudo group and reboot.
[17:35] <ImJune> ubuntu 15.04
[17:35] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: you may need to remount your system partition as writable using:   mount -o remount,rw /
[17:36] <ImJune> \n \l
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> ImJune: is this a server install? No gui?
[17:36] <ImJune> this is full gui
[17:36] <ImJune> unity desktop
[17:36] <ImJune> I had fixed this previously touchpad working no issues
[17:37] <ImJune> but I reinstalled to an mSata drive and deleted the sata3 drive
[17:37] <ImJune> now I can not get this mousepad working again
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> ImJune: unity is a shell (gnome is the desktop) :)

[17:39] <ActionParsnip> ImJune: worth a shot

[17:40] <ImJune> or 1 and 1
[17:40] <ImJune> 1 by 1*
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> ImJune: individually. You will need to reboot to test
[17:45] <ImJune> did you mean i8042?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> ImJune: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=i8024.reset      no :D

[17:59] <jaydemir> I had a question. I'm running xfce-desktop on my chromebook and I'm trying to customize it. I want to change the menu from default, and it's asking for a menu file. Where can I get more menu files to choose from?
[17:59] <ImJune> what does booting to insecure mode mean?
[17:59] <ghosty_> bonjour a tout le monde
[17:59] <tck9> anyone seen this before? nfsmount fails to mount a share on bootup (dmesg has svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97)). After the system has booted up, manually doing a 'mount -a' works fine and mounts the share
[17:59] <ImJune> this is literally depressinng
[17:59] <notevenandrew> ImJune, i can relate to that!
[18:00] <JinjaNinja> Does anyone know of some multimedia chans besides #ubuntustudio ?
[18:00] <jaydemir> I couldn't quite get cinnamon working on here but I was trying to see if I could get a nice transparent menu going.
[18:00] <anonimouse> I cant hear audio from video files. I cant hear anything if I try to  play mp3 files with VLC , but i can hear using mp3 players. However I can hear drumrolls.

[18:06] <samuraicat> Hoping for some help with XSANE. Was scanning fine but suddenly I'm getting error during save: Broken Pipe
[18:08] <entity_matt> Hi can anyone help me get my laptop to output to a second monitor. I'm using bumblbee and my vga port is connected to my nvidia card
[18:09] <notevenandrew> Ok so now im stuck trying to find how to detach a script from my script udev runs, so it unblocks it and lets it mount, i tried setsid but without any luck, also disown didnt help either
[18:09] <lumia935> hi
[18:10] <notevenandrew> if i just comment the line that runs the script, everything works fine, but when it runs, it just blocks it, even with setsid :(
[18:10] <ImJune> god I wish this would work again
[18:11] <ImJune> this is crazyness
[18:11] <entity_matt> Hi can anyone help me get my laptop to output to a second monitor. I'm using bumblbee and my vga port is connected to my nvidia card

[18:16] <deadmund> In the new OS X you can shake the cursor and it will grow to help you find it (http://video.businessinsider.com/d671cfbc-8412-416e-851c-c27510ede9a7.webm).  Is there a similar feature anywhere in the Ubuntu world? (I use KDE if it matters)
[18:17] <entity_matt> Hi can anyone help me get my laptop to output to a second monitor. I'm using bumblbee and my vga port is connected to my nvidia card
[18:17] <reisio> deadmund: to indicate where the cursor is, or specifically to make it grow upon "shaking"? :p
[18:17] <deadmund> reisio: either/or   Do you know of a feature that indicates where it is?
[18:18] <reisio> deadmund: yeah, in compizconfig, show mouse
[18:18] <deadmund> reisio: thanks!
[18:20] <deadmund> reisio: What's the relationship between KDE and compiz?  It seems that it's using compiz but not fully or something?  I think that gnome 2 handled compiz the best but I've never dug into it with KDE (much less KDE 5)
[18:21] <xangua> deadmund: kde uses it's owm compositing efects (kwin) and Gnome Shell uses "mutter" I believe
[18:21] <reisio> yeah ^
[18:21] <reisio> KDE probably has one, though
[18:21] <reisio> since that's basically an accessibility issue
[18:21] <reisio> ask #kde about it
[18:21] <xangua> kde used to use compiz too back in 3.x
[18:21] <reisio> I think not
[18:22] <deadmund> ok, thanks guys
[18:22] <deadmund> So it's actually not compiz, but it is a similar feature-set.
[18:22] <deadmund> ?
[18:22] <reisio> deadmund: yes
[18:22] <deadmund> thanks
[18:23] <marcanuy> If I do "$id myuser" it shows it is belonging to the same group defined in /opt/dev, "chgrp mygroup /opt/dev; chmod 775 /opt/dev", but when I try "$touch /opt/dev/something" shows Permission Denied, any idea?
[18:23] <notevenandrew> I summarized my issue in http://paste.ubuntu.com/11697737/ If someone can read that i would be really thankful :)
[18:23] <reisio> deadmund: try CTRL+Win
[18:25] <reisio> marcanuy: chgrp is for files
[18:25] <marcanuy> reisio, chown mygroup:mygroup /opt/dev
[18:25] <reisio> deadmund: http://www.bbc.co.uk/accessibility/guides/mouse_pointer/computer/linux/kde/#finding or #kde, again
[18:26] <reisio> marcanuy: might want -R
[18:26] <deadmund> reisio: You the best!!!
[18:26] <marcanuy> reisio, yes, the problem is that it doesn't allow a user belonging to that group to write a file there
[18:26] <marcanuy> reisio, even with chmod 775
[18:28] <samuraicat> XSane was scanning fine but now I get an error "Error during save: Broken Pipe"
[18:30] <deadmund> reisio: excellent thanks!
[18:30] <deadmund> reisio: Talk about customer service!
[18:30] <reisio> :p
[18:34] <samuraicat> XSane was scanning fine but now I get an error "Error during save: Broken Pipe"
[18:37] <muhkuh> hello world o/ might someone help me with a minor problem?
[18:38] <xangua> !ask
[18:38] <samuraicat> Magically solved my XSANE error. I just printed something and all of a sudden the scanning started working again!
[18:38] <muhkuh> =) right
[18:40] <muhkuh> i tried to tell my ubuntu studio version to start with the generic kernel as shown here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation, but it still is botting with the low-latency one
[18:40] <Inspiral> i made a fresh install of 14.04 lts. I ran 'sudo apt-get install lamp-server' and then 'service mysql stop', I then copied my old /var/lib/mysql folder to the new installation and tried 'service mysql start' i hit an error and would like to know how I can remove this install of mysql entirely and reinstall it as I cannot get it to restart even after removing /var/lib/mysql and 'apt-get purge mysql-server' and 'apt-get purge mysql-server-5.5' any
[18:40] <Inspiral>  ideas?
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> muhkuh  you too, there's also #ubuntustudio
[18:41] <muhkuh> aight Monkey
[18:45] <DrBotato> sometimes my backspace key makes a ^H instead of actually deleting. eg: rm: remove write-protected regular file ‘test.tar.gz’? su^H^H^H^H^H^C
[18:45] <DrBotato> is there a way to fix this?
[18:47] <angular_mike_> hello
[18:48] <angular_mike_> I think my OS got really messed up
[18:48] <Lunario> how can I access an ssh network device added to nautilus via terminal?
[18:48] <Lunario> its not in /media
[18:48] <angular_mike_> I've installed updates with security updater and restarted when prompted.
[18:48] <angular_mike_> But when I booted back up, I've immediately noticed some problems
[18:49] <angular_mike_> first, the quick launch bar to the left is gone
[18:49] <angular_mike_> second, many keyboard shortcuts have stopped working. I cant use them to switch monitors or open terminal
[18:50] <angular_mike_> It's a miracle that i've been able to navigate to chrome
[18:50] <angular_mike_> by creating a new folder on desktop
[18:50] <angular_mike_> how do I go about fixing this?
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> angular_mike_  spare the enter key, please
[18:51] <Inspiral> lol you're a helpful fellow MonkeyDust
[18:51] <Inspiral> use of the enter key helps convey the desperation angular_mike_ is expressing
[18:51] <Inspiral> imo
[18:52] <angular_mike_> ok, sorry for flooding, I'm just really distressed as you can guess; s/security updated/software updater/
[18:52] <Inspiral> angular_mike_, it seems like your desktop environment is messed up,
[18:53] <Inspiral> angular_mike_, if you create a new user account and login with that does everything show ok?
[18:53] <kostkon> angular_mike_, what's your graphics card and what driver are you using. You could start with this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[18:53] <angular_mike_> Inspiral: yeah, i've also noticed that maximized windows get glitches a their top and there is no top menu with stuff like 'File', etc
[18:54] <angular_mike_> Inspiral: would logging in as guest be enough?
[18:54] <Inspiral> angular_mike_, try that link kostkon pasted
[18:55] <pavlos> Lunario, are you using samba?
[18:55] <Inspiral> guest might, i don't know. I was just suggesting to eliminate any configuration that's setup in your ~/
[18:57] <Lunario> pavlos:no, ssh
[18:57] <angular_mike_> kostkon: I'm guessing, I have to install the rest tool. Software Center doesn't seem to work anymore. I can install it via terminal, right? How do I open the terminal then?
[18:58] <pavlos> Lunario, I guess I dont understand your question ... you ssh to another box, now what?
[18:58] <kostkon> angular_mike_, ctrl+alt+f1 to f6 to access TTY F7 to get back. what rest tool?
[18:58] <angular_mike_> *reset tool
[18:59] <Lunario> i ssh'd into it via nautilus so that i can access the files in nautilus.. but how can i access the filesystem via terminal? i know i can ssh into it or use scp, but if the filesystem structure of the remote system has been "mounted" in nautilus (which seems to be the case) why is it not in /media or /mnt?
[19:00] <pavlos> Lunario, http://askubuntu.com/questions/412477/mount-remote-directory-using-ssh
[19:00] <kostkon> angular_mike_, follow the 2nd method.
[19:01] <kostkon> angular_mike_, or download it with chrome, then to install it   sudo dpkg -i ***.deb or
[19:01] <wafflejock> Lunario, can use Ctrl+L to see the current path in nautilus when you have the server window open and see if it's mounted somewhere or just connected via samba or otherwise
[19:01] <kostkon> angular_mike_, just download and run the script
[19:02] <Lunario> i am familiar with sshfs but I thought it might already be mounted but just not where I expected it to be... anyways, thanks
[19:02] <kostkon> angular_mike_, or try the 2nd method, as I suggested already
[19:03] <angular_mike_> kostkon: ok, i'm following the second methd. I've got an nvidia card for laptops, btw
[19:06] <notevenandrew> Ubuntu keeps asking me to enter the password for cryptswap1, is there a way to decrypt it? It is popping up very frequently.
[19:06] <angular_mike_> kostkon: hmm, I get `error: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY` when trying to run `dconf reset -f /org/compiz/` from the TTY
[19:07] <kostkon> angular_mike_, hmm ok. are you sure you can't start a terminal on your desktop?
[19:08] <angular_mike_> kostkon: the hotkey combinations dont work
[19:08] <angular_mike_> kostkon: if I could find the executable, I might be able to
[19:08] <kostkon> angular_mike_, tried both alt+f2 & ctrl+alt+t ?
[19:09] <angular_mike_> kostkon: yes
[19:10] <angular_mike_> shit, alt + tab also doesnt work, I thought I had lost the browser for a while
[19:11] <kostkon> angular_mike_, is there any way you could open a nautilus window?
[19:11] <kostkon> angular_mike_, like having a folder on your desktop you could click on. also try pressing ctrl+n
[19:12] <angular_mike_> kostkon: yes, I managed to open it by creating a new folder on desktop
[19:13] <kostkon> angular_mike_, gnome-terminal should be in /usr/bin
[19:13] <kostkon> angular_mike_, alternatively, you could download and run the script from the webupd8 page
[19:14] <angular_mike_> kostkon: hmm I see no gnome-terminal in /usr/bin
[19:15] <kostkon> angular_mike_, should be there
[19:16] <MonkeyDust> angular_mike_  type   which gnome-terminal
[19:16] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: it returns nothing
[19:17] <MonkeyDust> angular_mike_  where did you type it? is it ubuntu?
[19:17] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: in TTY
[19:17] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: yes, it's ubuntu
[19:18] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: I've found a desktop shortcut to gnome-terminal and launching it yields `there was an error launching the application`
[19:18] <MonkeyDust> ok, then try installing it... sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal
[19:18] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: alt+f4 works strangely. useful, because there's no 'x's for closing
[19:20] <MonkeyDust> angular_mike_  i'm not following you, what was your initial question?
[19:20] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: ok, terminal runs now
[19:20] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: um, my inital question was how to fix this mess
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> angular_mike_  specify "mess"
[19:21] <angular_mike_> MonkeyDust: no quick launch tab and multiple hokeys not working
[19:23] <angular_mike_> kostkon: ok, now I've successfully run the `dconf reset -f /org/compiz/`
[19:23] <blz> Hello, how do I configure groups such that all newly-created subdirectories belong to a given group?
[19:24] <kostkon> angular_mike_, either do setsid unity or if you want, reboot
[19:24] <blz> For instance, I have directory `A`.  I want it and all its future children to belong to group `g`.
[19:24] <blz> how do I do this?
[19:24] <angular_mike_> kostkon: it says that I need to run `setsid unity` next. When I run it I get ` execvp: No such file or directory`. Quick google shows people reinstalling gcc++ to fix that. Should this apply in my case?
[19:25] <angular_mike_> kostkon: wait, installing execvp
[19:26] <kostkon> angular_mike_, i guess you could reboot. although your system exhibits some peculiar symptoms, like the initial problem when trying to start the terminal and now this
[19:26] <angular_mike_> kostkon: ok, ill reboot then
[19:26] <kostkon> angular_mike_, i don't really know what to make of this
[19:26] <angular_mike_> kostkon: hopefully, I'll be able to launch chrome after that
[19:26] <angular_mike_> LETS GO
[19:27] <kostkon> angular_mike_, do it :P
[19:31] <angular_mike_> ok, after restart nothing seems to have changed
[19:31] <angular_mike_> kostkon: as you might have noticed I seem to also be missing some cruicial program installations
[19:32] <angular_mike_> kostkon: before installing updates I was messing with virtualbox, but nothing more dangerous than `apt ge install/remove` no flags like `purge`
[19:32] <kostkon> angular_mike_, you could try reinstalling the ubuntu desktop,    sudo apt-get clean    and then   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --reinstall
[19:33] <pbx> how do i change the system notification style in 14.04 (unity)?
[19:34] <angular_mike_> kostkon: ok, trying
[19:35] <angular_mike_> pbx: you mean the graphical notification bubbles?
[19:36] <angular_mike_> pbx: there seems to be a 3-rd party patch for customizing them: http://askubuntu.com/questions/128474/how-to-customize-on-screen-notifications
[19:39] <angular_mike_> kostkon: ok, reinstalling the ubuntu desktop seems to have fixed the problem, at least the symptom, thanks you
[19:40] <angular_mike_> I'm still worried about the missing programs
[19:40] <angular_mike_> any idea how to survey the damage?
[19:40] <EriC^^> what programs angular_mike_ ?
[19:40] <angular_mike_> EriC^^: my gnome-terminal had magically disappeared for once
[19:41] <EriC^^> was it still installed in dpkg -l ?
[19:41] <EriC^^> or apt-cache policy ?
[19:41] <kostkon> angular_mike_, good news, you could check your logs for any possible damage. make sure you check your dpkg.log and see what packages were installed / removed during in the last couple of days i guess
[19:42] <angular_mike_> EriC^^: also, I recall ctrl+alt+T stopping opening terminator instead of terminal right before restart after installign the updates
[19:42] <kostkon> minus during*
[19:42] <angular_mike_> kostkon: will do
[19:43] <angular_mike_> I have to say, this is not the first time I messed up my Ubunty by messing with Virtualbox
[19:43] <heeen> I'm on kubuntu and for some reason powerdevil stopped working
[19:43] <heeen> this setup is like 2 hours old
[19:43] <heeen> there was a conflict earlier and I had to do apt-get install -f
[19:44] <EriC^^> angular_mike_: debsums can check all files of installed packages and see if the checksums match
[19:44] <EriC^^> !info debsums | angular_mike_ in case you need it
[19:46] <pbx> angular_mike_, thanks. yeah, that's what i meant. i changed the style and don't know how it happened (perhaps by installing i3)
[19:47] <Finetundra> can I ask questions about lxqt here?
[19:51] <brainwash> Finetundra: you should first ask in #lxde
[19:52] <Finetundra> brainwash: I have but they're not very active. I was hoping I might m=be able to ask here
[19:52] <brainwash> Finetundra: lxqt is not available in the official repos, so it's not really supported here
[19:53] <Finetundra> sigh
[19:53] <brainwash> Finetundra: just wait a bit and someone in #lxde will answer. maybe even use the mailing list
[20:01] <meyou> anyknow know how i might undelete a vmdk from a vmfs volume using fuse vmfs
[20:04] <jean-guy> #xubuntu
[20:07] <jean-guy> good day everyone... in xubuntu, can we find a code for each letter of the alphabeth, or number or other symbol ?  something like the ascii codes in windows?
[20:10] <nicomachus> so I finished a HDD clone via dd this morning... and there was a 1B difference between the if and of. oops? going to matter? trivial?
[20:12] <pavlos> nicomachus, one byte?
[20:13] <EriC^^> nicomachus: how did you get that difference?
[20:15] <dStruct> hey guys, i'm launching Ubuntu via a Unetbootin USB bootloader/grub and I appear to be doing something wrong trying to get into single user, here's the grub line .. /ubnkern initrd=/ubninit file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet splash -- persistant
[20:15] <dStruct> do I need to put "single" before the --?
[20:19] <dStruct> anyone?
[20:21] <daftykins> ?
[20:21] <dStruct> daftykins: trying to figure out why I can't get into single user mode
[20:22] <daftykins> it doesn't exist anymore
[20:22] <daftykins> boot with 'text' instead
[20:22] <dStruct> daftykins: seriously, even on 12.x?
[20:22] <daftykins> *shrug*
[20:22] <nicomachus> EriC^^ and pavlos: according the readout when dd finished. It showed the if size and of size, and there was a 1B difference.
[20:22] <angular_mike_> ok guys, remember the problem I had about half an hour ago
[20:22] <EriC^^> nicomachus: what options did you use for dd?
[20:23] <angular_mike_> I've been able to replicate it
[20:23] <nicomachus> Don't remember the numbers exactly, but something like if=936473879839 of=936473879838
[20:23] <nicomachus> no options, EriC^^
[20:23] <nicomachus> I thought it was just kinda odd that it was 1B
[20:23] <EriC^^> nicomachus: ok, i'm not sure if it matters
[20:24] <angular_mike_> All I had to do was install this package: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.28/virtualbox-4.3_4.3.28-100309~Ubuntu~raring_i386.deb
[20:24] <angular_mike_> gnome-terminal -- gone
[20:24] <nicomachus> yea, I don't think it'll make much of a difference... will be home in 1.5 hours and will try to boot it up then.
[20:24] <angular_mike_> is there anywhere I should report this?
[20:25] <EriC^^> nicomachus: you could always run it with dd if= of= bs=4M conv=sync,noeror
[20:25] <lotuspsychje> !info virtualbox | angular_mike_
[20:26] <EriC^^> nicomachus: that will ignore errors and pad the blocks that have errors so the image is in sync
[20:26] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: sorry?
[20:26] <EriC^^> nicomachus: also 4M is way quicker than copying it 512bytes at a time
[20:26] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: wich ubuntu version do you have?
[20:26] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: 14.04 LTS
[20:27] <lotuspsychje> !info virtualbox trusty | angular_mike_
[20:27] <EriC^^> nicomachus: you could always run it with dd if= of= bs=4M conv=sync,noeror,notrunc if you're writing it to an img and not a hdd
[20:27] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: Ubuntu 13.04 ("Raring") / 13.10 ("Saucy") / 14.04 ("Trusty") / 14.10 ("Utopic") / 15.04 ("Vivid")  i386 |  AMD64
[20:27] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: its reccomended to install virtualbox version, for your ubuntu version
[20:27] <nicomachus> EriC^^: Oh well, it's done now.
[20:27] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: the virtualbox website suggested that package for my version
[20:29] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: and ubuntu suggests to use version from official repo
[20:30] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: it had some incompatibilities with extensions
[20:30] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: wich one?
[20:31] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: VirtualBox 4.3.28 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack  I think, software center wouldn't let me install it over virtualbox
[20:31] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: use packages for trusty only mate
[20:32] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: but, there's a lot of stuff not available in ubuntu repos
[20:38] <mitfree> Anyone know? Which canonical resource should I use first when experiencing an issue with a ubuntu 14.04 server?
[20:39] <MonkeyDust> mitfree  ask your question here, for a start
[20:39] <MonkeyDust> mitfree  however, we're volunteers, not canonical employees
[20:39] <angular_mike_> mitfree: are you talking about URL?
[20:40] <angular_mike_> Canonical URL
[20:40] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: apt-cache search virtualbox show a few things
[20:40] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: what do they show?
[20:41] <steloran_> METALER IN ##PHYSICS AND ##NOT-PHYSICS IS METALEER THE CUNT IS BACK
[20:42] <nicomachus> lol wat?
[20:42] <k1l_> nicomachus: dont mind the trolls :)
[20:42] <nicomachus> someone's gotta break the monotony of the workday. :)
[20:42] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: check in your terminal :p
[20:43] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: the virtualbox I've got installed right now is the one from Software Center, do you still want it?
[20:43] <nicomachus> not that I'm an expert at all, lotuspsychje, but isn't it better for him to ask what a command does before typing it blindly into a terminal?
[20:44] <lotuspsychje> nicomachus: apt-cache search is pretty harmless mate
[20:44] <angular_mike_> nicomachus: `search` couldn't hurt, could it?
[20:44] <nicomachus> still doesn't hurt to ask.... but carry on
[20:44] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: want what?
[20:44]  * nicomachus slinks away
[20:45] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: the output
[20:45] <mitfree> angular_mike_: By resourse I mean.. irc, forum, man page, wiki, mailing list.. etc. My issue maybe a bit involved. So are you guys recomending people come here before those other resources. It's been awhile since I've used ubuntu.
[20:45] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: no mate that was for you, as you asked before for extensions..
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> mitfree: the #ubuntu-server guys might be able to help?
[20:46] <k1l_> mitfree: so you mean: "i have an issue with ubuntu, where to get help?" or are we talking about paid canonical support?
[20:47] <MonkeyDust> mitfree  type /j #ubuntu-server, ask your question there
[20:47] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: oh, so what will it do?
[20:47] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: search all packages on the text 'virtualbox'
[20:47] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: i tought maybe it shows relevant packages you search for?
[20:47] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: no, I mean what use is it for me?
[20:48] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: you named a virtualbox extension before
[20:48] <angular_mike_> mitfree: I'm no expert, but I don't think they provide support, unless you're a paying customer
[20:48] <angular_mike_> lotuspsychje: oh, ok
[20:48] <lotuspsychje> angular_mike_: and maybe the #vbox guys can also point you deeper to your needs
[20:50] <mitfree> k1l_: Right, I don't mean paid support. You know how some distros say search the mailing list first... If I recall, ubuntu used to have a pretty big forum community, but I'm going back a few years. Things might hace changed.
[20:50] <PCatinean> Hey guys, i wanted to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras and also accepted the EULA with the fonts now I want to chuck them away
[20:50] <PCatinean> how can one do that?
[20:50] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: hit TAB
[20:50] <angular_mike_> mitfree: then I guess you're looking for Ubuntu community support, not from Canonical
[20:51] <PCatinean> lotuspsychje, it's already done, now I want to revert it :(
[20:51] <PCatinean> I read about it only after
[20:51] <angular_mike_> mitfree: they've still got a forum, last time I checked
[20:51] <k1l_> mitfree: its your choice if irc, mailinglists, ubuntuforums, discourse or askubuntu suits you best
[20:51] <angular_mike_> mitfree: as well as an IRC chat
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> mitfree  simply ask your question, then we can answer and give directions
[20:51] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: you want to uninstall restricted-extras?
[20:51] <angular_mike_> mitfree: #ubuntu
[20:51] <k1l_> mitfree: there even is the possibility to ask a question on launchpad
[20:53] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: what are you trying to do mate?
[20:56] <PCatinean> lotuspsychje, when installing the ubuntu-restricted-extras, I accepted EULA whatever and it installed the fonts and change the fonts, now I just want to remove those
[20:57] <EriC^^> PCatinean: try sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras , maybe
[20:57] <PCatinean> that will remove everything except the fonts EriC^^ from what I see in the list
[20:57] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: why dont you change the font to what you like?
[20:57] <PCatinean> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse libavcodec-extra libfaac0  libmjpegutils-2.1-0 libmpeg2encpp-2.1-0 libmplex2-2.1-0
[20:57] <PCatinean> that's all
[20:57] <OerHeks> i would try ' sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer'
[20:57] <PCatinean> lotuspsychje, I just want the standard one, dunno which one is that
[20:58] <PCatinean> OerHeks, that sounds like something better
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: the fonts, are just extras mate
[20:58] <PCatinean> it said installing fonts, not sure if it updated as well
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: some microsoft fonts in there, some users need
[20:58] <lotuspsychje> PCatinean: that doesnt mean its gonna change font in your ubuntu
[20:59] <OerHeks> some programs want those, especially those containers
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> deformations in documents may occur, if you don't have the same or right fonts
[20:59] <lotuspsychje> i think verdana font sticks in there
[21:00] <PCatinean> brb
[21:00] <PCatinean> thanks guys!
[21:02] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: good evening mate
[21:03] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: o/ .. Yeah Good one .If it is not a good day, let us make it a good day.

[21:27] <reisio> the human mind is a dangerous thing :p
[21:28] <Bashing-om> reisio: :) especially so when I take it out and play with it .
[21:28] <N1ch0l4s> Hey, I'm a bit of a network noob, and I have a DNS issue.
[21:29] <awsumatt> Thanks, I will try that stuff
[21:30] <N1ch0l4s> I connect to the internet through a wireless AP.  I'm configuring another linux host, and I'm hooked up to it through ethernet. By fiddling with network settings I can ping my wireless gateway and the ethernet connected linux host, but DNS fails.  disconnecting ethernet solves this.
[21:30] <brandonp> I just installed Ubuntu for the first time
[21:30] <brandonp> I like it a lot.
[21:31] <k1l_> brandonp: good to hear
[21:31] <brandonp> I have a question though, so the first thing I did was "sudo apt-get update"
[21:31] <brandonp> then "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[21:31] <izi> please help me to learn english langauge
[21:31] <k1l_> izi: try in #english
[21:32] <brandonp> then I typed "sudo apt-get install" -- does this last install prompt do anything?
[21:32] <izi> sudo apt-get install english
[21:32] <izi> not work
[21:32] <brandonp> or do i have to preface it with a package, like "sudo apt-get install git"
[21:32] <k1l_> brandonp: no that will not install something. you need to specify a package (or several packages)
[21:32] <brandonp> ah ok thanks
[21:33] <EriC^^> brandonp: if you want to upgrade all the packages, including the kernel, use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:33] <brandonp> ohhh
[21:33] <k1l_> brandonp: and with "just" apt-get upgrade you might miss some updates. better use "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt full-upgrade"
[21:33] <brandonp> ok thanks
[21:34] <brandonp> "sudo apt-get install -f" doesn't do anything either right?
[21:34] <k1l_> they tried to reduce the confusing naming with the new apt command
[21:34] <k1l_> brandonp: dont use that out of nowhere.
[21:34] <brandonp> Oopa
[21:34] <brandonp> Oops*
[21:34] <k1l_> that install -f is needed if something went wrong and you want to force (-f) the install
[21:35] <brandonp> Ah ok. I w as just typing in random prompts trying to fix my wifi. But I just installed that kernel you told me about and it fixed it. Lol.
[21:35] <EriC^^> brandonp: it checks for any problems and broken dependencies
[21:35] <_NOLUNCH> i have a blank folder with unreadable size in BYTEs named /root in my phone. anyone knows how much is the size and how may i use this block folder to increase ram?
[21:36] <_NOLUNCH> i have a blank folder with unreadable size in BYTEs named /root in my phone. anyone knows how much is the size and how may i use this block folder to increase ram?
[21:36] <TheChips> years ago, I used to use ubuntu, but I didn't use the latest version because the latest version ran a little slower. nowadays, which version of ubuntu do folks use when they want a recentish, but low resource usage ubuntu for their crappy ancient netbook?
[21:36] <EriC^^> ( and tries to fix them brandonp )
[21:36] <brandonp> Understood, thanks EriC^^
[21:36] <k1l_> !lubuntu | TheChips
[21:37] <EriC^^> brandonp: no problem
[21:37] <k1l_> TheChips: and then start with the 14.04 LTS version
[21:37] <izi> why i cant join to another server
[21:37] <buzain> TheChips: i run xubuntu on my 5 years old dell studio laptop and it works fine
[21:38] <_NOLUNCH> i have a blank folder with unreadable size in BYTEs named /root in my phone. anyone knows how much is the size and how may i use this block folder to increase ram?
[21:39] <k1l_> _NOLUNCH: ubuntu phone?
[21:39] <TheChips> fair enough, buzain . there was a noticable performance difference between versions, at the time. I think it was 10.04 or something
[21:40] <buzain> TheChips: as k1l_ suggested, use the LTS version
[21:40] <TheChips> yeah, I'll try updating to 14.04, thanks you two
[21:40] <TheChips> *LTS
[21:41] <TheChips> I could always keep the version I've got but where's the fun in that? :)
[21:42] <buzain> TheChips: I use the latest and get decent performance but mainly for browsing and email
[21:43] <Jordan_U> TheChips: Which flavor of Ubuntu 14.04 did you decide to use?
[21:43] <thomedy> okay.. so i think i have gotten to the bottom of my issue... or at least i hope... im running ffmpeg from a website... right now its  local and the file name is nothing that is inputed from the user.. so just for a second. lets suspend our assumptions that it is unsafe
[21:44] <thomedy> my question is this.... i think i am not getting my output file.mp4 or whatever because my browser is running as www-data and has no permission to run ffmpeg
[21:44] <thomedy> am i right?
[21:44] <thomedy> how close to the truth is that
[21:45] <Jordan_U> thomedy: ls -l $(which ffmpeg)
[21:45] <thomedy> so you are saying i should type exactly that into command line
[21:46] <Jordan_U> thomedy: Yes. It will show you, among other things, the permissions for the ffmpeg binary. Unless you're doing something very odd it should be executable by all users.
[21:46] <thomedy> iit is in usr/local/bin
[21:46] <gt8ost4l> does anybody know how to get back the status bar in ubuntu 15.04
[21:47] <thomedy> and i compiled exactly how  ffmpeg.org page said to
[21:47] <thomedy> it is from source code on ffmpeg.org or whatever
[21:47] <Jordan_U> thomedy: Why did you compile from source at all?
[21:48] <thomedy> because my ubuntu software center wasn't working
[21:48] <k1l_> depending on the ubuntu version used ffmpeg is not in the repos. avconv is always in the repo
[21:48] <thomedy> it was lacking differnet dependencies and i couldn't access the h264
[21:48] <thomedy> and all my googling said ffmpeg was the most reliable method
[21:48] <k1l_> thomedy: could use the fork of ffmpeg "avconv"
[21:48] <thomedy> avconv would hav ebeen fine but very few google searches pointed to avconv in comparison with ffmpeg
[21:49] <thomedy> so thats what i did
[21:49] <thomedy> can avconv get h264 and back again
[21:49] <Jordan_U> thomedy: Yes.
[21:49] <k1l_> !avconv
[21:49] <thomedy> can you tell me the command for it
[21:49] <thomedy> i  will need h264 and flv
[21:49] <pedro__> hi can anyone tell me how to stop the pulse audio sound server?
[21:49] <Jordan_U> pedro__: What is your end goal?
[21:50] <k1l_> gt8ost4l: what status bar? the panel on the top edge?
[21:50] <gt8ost4l> no the bar that display the hard drive space
[21:51] <pedro__> Jordan_U, its to put my condenser microphone working on skype, but pulse audio is on the way
[21:51] <k1l_> thomedy: i dont know what you want to do at all but here is the manpage: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/avconv.1.html
[21:52] <k1l_> gt8ost4l: where was that bar? i dont know what you are talking about. ubuntu doesnt have that as a standard
[21:52] <luvenfu> how i use sudo inside of a bash script?
[21:53] <Jordan_U> pedro__: What makes you think that pulseaudio is "in the way"? Skype *requires* pulseaudio.
[21:53] <josharenson> Not sure if this is the correct place to ask... trying to get lightdm-qt-greeter to run, and it seems that the greeter is not talking to the lightdm server. Are there env variables that need to be set?
[21:53] <pedro__> Jordan_U, yes, but at skype sound settings i used to have "samsom usb microphone" option
[21:53] <gt8ost4l> k1l_ didnt you use ubuntu 12.04 it had it there in the taskbar
[21:53] <MonkeyDust> luvenfu  same as when you type it... you can use 'sudo true' in the beginning of the script
[21:54] <pedro__> Jordan_U, thats the option thats going to give me recording sound at skype, i used to have that working
[21:54] <k1l_> gt8ost4l: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vi3fMYU1SsE/T09a-4NQcUI/AAAAAAAAIGM/U-2d5PhdO8Q/s1600/ubuntu-12.04-precise-pangolin.png
[21:54] <brandonp> should I use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" or "sudo apt dist-upgrade" ?
[21:55] <k1l_> brandonp: sudo apt full-upgrade
[21:55] <brandonp> Ok, thank you.
[21:55] <k1l_> brandonp: that combines the old "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[21:55] <brandonp> Two for one? Nice
[21:56] <brandonp> Is there any reason why I should just use sudo apt upgrade without dist?
[21:56] <pedro__> Jordan_U, could you gie me a hint on a good gui to configure puse audio working with my usb micro?
[21:56] <k1l_> when saying dist-upgrade some people still think it will upgrade from 14.04 to 14.10. so they got scared to run that command
[21:56] <k1l_> brandonp: apt-get upgrade will not install new packages, only update packages. but for some updates you need to install new packages (like kernel updates etc) so that cant be installed.
[21:58] <brandonp> k1l_: Ah okay, I see, it's just more control
[21:58] <k1l_> brandonp: the reasons are historically (from 10-15 years ago) and are not used like back than today. so the old differences just confuse today
[21:59] <k1l_> so "apt" instead of "apt-get" is more uptodate
[22:00] <brandonp> I understand now. 3/4 of the tutorials on the internet I'm reading use "apt-get", hah. I guess they're just used to it?
[22:00] <k1l_> brandonp: well, apt is just 1year old in ubuntu.
[22:24] <rapper97> How can I be sure I'm doing a UEFI instal? The help wiki links to an AskUbuntu answer that is far from clear.\
[22:24] <reisio> rapper97: what do you see at bootup before any OS boots?
[22:25] <rapper97> What do you mean?
[22:25] <rapper97> Nothing, really; it's a black screen and kicks straight into Windows 8 unless you hit e.g. F9.
[22:31] <Pazooza> I have a crypt-luks 1tb drive with no showing partitions in gparted. Why does update say there is not enough room in /boot? I don't see a partition for that. I have 900gig free.
[22:33] <Bashing-om> Pazooza: What does terminal command ' df -h ' tell you about "/" ?
[22:33] <Jordan_U> Pazooza: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "df -h".
[22:33] <Pazooza> Never mind, I see mount point /boot 243 meg size.
[22:34] <Bashing-om> Pazooza: Try terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' to remove old kernels to free up some space .
[22:36] <Pazooza> I actually used gnome-commander in root mode to delete the old kernels and headers.
[22:36] <Jordan_U> rapper97: If the directory /sys/firmware/efi/ exists then you're booted via UEFI, and the installer will therefore try to install for UEFI.
[22:37] <Pazooza> Do you suppose I could resize the /boot partition larger?
[22:37] <Jordan_U> Pazooza: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[22:37] <nicomachus> EriC^^ or pavlos: I'm trying to mount that HDD now that was 1B short on the dd, and can't: https://imgur.com/RoNGScI
[22:37] <rapper97> Jordan>> So when I boot into the live distro, look for that directory in the mounted filesystem?
[22:38] <nicomachus> output of dmesg | tails: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11698908/
[22:39] <Jordan_U> rapper97: I'm not sure what you mean by "in the mounted filesystem". Literally running "[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS" will tell you if you're booted via UEFI.
[22:39] <nicomachus> that line about bad geometry?
[22:39] <rapper97> Jordan_U>> In the file system of the live CD/installer.
[22:40] <Jordan_U> rapper97: Yes.
[22:40] <rapper97> jordan_u ty
[22:41] <Jordan_U> rapper97: You're welcome.
[22:43] <rapper97> Will this directory also appear on the resulting instal, Jordan_U?
[22:45] <Jordan_U> rapper97: Yes. Pretty much any time you have a GNU/Linux system that has been booted via UEFI that directory will exist.
[22:46] <rapper97> So... is it, like, "virtual?" In other words, if it did not appear on an instal before, might it now?
[22:46] <rapper97> if I rebooted in UEFI mode? Or does its absence mean it wasn't installed in UEFI
[22:47] <rapper97> and thusly it can never be there.
[22:47] <rapper97> ?
[22:47] <Jordan_U> rapper97: Everything in /sys/ is "virtual". It's a way that the kernel communicates with userspace. The files exist only in memory, they are not ever stored on disk.
[22:49] <rapper97> Wow. This changes everything.
[22:52] <Koyaanis> how the hell do i use bootchart
[22:52] <Koyaanis> on 15.04
[22:53] <rapper97> "From an Ubuntu installed on the HDD (neither liveCD nor liveUSB)"
[22:53] <rapper97> (either that wasn't in the tutorial I read or I was too tired + missed it.)
[22:54] <Jordan_U> rapper97: That sentence has no meaning to me without context.
[22:54] <jkdjeff> Hi folks, support question: I just put 15.04 on a Toshiba laptop. Things are working well but my Synaptics touchpad isn't even showing up in xinput. Where to start with troubleshooting?
[22:56] <StephanX_> @jkdjeff - have a look here http://superuser.com/questions/437601/mouse-touchpad-stuck-in-ubuntu-12-04-after-resuming-from-suspend/437607#437607
[22:56] <StephanX_> also, double check that you don't have any hardware key disabling the touchpad
[22:57] <jkdjeff> hmmmmm. would that prevent it from even showing up in xinput?
[23:09] <Jordan_U> Koyaanis: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootCharting
[23:10] <nicomachus> fsck says a device is busy, but it's not even mounted...
[23:11] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: Please pastebin the complete output from fsck and the contents of /proc/mounts.
[23:13] <nicomachus> fsck: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11699044/ and /proc/mounts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11699045/
[23:13] <nicomachus> Jordan_U: fyi, it's a crypto_luks partition
[23:14] <nicomachus> crypt_luks*
[23:16] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: You can't fsck /dev/sdb5 if it's encrypted. You need to unlock it then point fsck at the /dev/mapper/ device node representing the unencrypted contents.
[23:16] <hplc> i reformatted a disk, and did set a label to my liking, but after reboot the label is changed, to a long long string of numbers and characters?, annoying, how to change it?
[23:16] <nicomachus> ah, ok
[23:17] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: But before you do that, please explain what your end goal is. What problem are you having that's leading you to want to run fsck?
[23:17] <nicomachus> Jordan_U: the boot partition on this had a corrupted superblock and I had to restore from a backup, so I was just trying to the same here.
[23:17] <nicomachus> I was going to check it first with fsck, then restore the backup if need be
[23:18] <nicomachus> see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11699013/
[23:21] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: OK. Have you checked the S.M.A.R.T. status of the drive to see if it might be failing?
[23:21] <nicomachus> Jordan_U: this is a cloned image off of a failing drive.
[23:22] <nicomachus> trying to repair the damage now and recover fiels.
[23:22] <nicomachus> files
[23:22] <hplc> the "prompt" is so long it going all across the screen
[23:23] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: Ahh, so you were the person to whom I recommended GNU ddrescue. Did you end up using GNU ddrescue? How many blocks was it not able to recover, if any?
[23:23] <hplc> can the label be changed with parted?, without breaking anything?
[23:23] <nicomachus> don't think that was me. sorry.
[23:23] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: OK, then it was another person with a failing drive using LUKS within the past few days :)
[23:24] <nicomachus> here's the crypt partition fsck output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11699078/
[23:24] <nicomachus> yikes.
[23:24] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: How did you clone the drive?
[23:24] <nicomachus> dd. took all night.
[23:24] <nicomachus> I was later informed there were better options. oh well.
[23:25] <ObrienDave> you went with dd any way? there are easier option ;P
[23:25] <nicomachus> yea, hey, thanks! where were ya last night! lol
[23:26] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: Did dd report any read errors?
[23:26] <ObrienDave> your buddy decided he wanted to show you the "right" way LOL
[23:26] <nicomachus> no, except the if was 1 byte larger than the of
[23:27] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: And both the if and of were drives?
[23:28] <nicomachus> one was an internal 3.5 and the other was an external 2.5, but both were 1TB
[23:28] <nicomachus> both toshiba, too, actually. haha
[23:29] <nicomachus> ahhhh it's not liking any of these backup superblocks..
[23:29] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: That's very odd. No drive should have a size that is anything but a multiple of 512 bytes.
[23:31] <nicomachus> not sure what you mean
[23:32] <ObrienDave> 512 is the smallest sector size. all drives are multiples of 512 in capacity
[23:33] <nicomachus> yea, I get that part. what's his point?
[23:33] <ObrienDave> one drive can't be 1 byte different from the other
[23:34] <ObrienDave> multiples of 512 yes, not 1
[23:34] <nicomachus> yea I should have screenshotted that.
[23:34] <nicomachus> it was like 6am this morning.
[23:34] <ObrienDave> been there, done that :)
[23:34] <nicomachus> and I was just walking past the computer to go get in the shower and leave for work. ahah
[23:35] <gt8ost4l> does anybody know where the system diretory is
[23:35] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: What is your end goal?
[23:36] <gt8ost4l> im installing drivers i need to know where system>administration
[23:37] <Jordan_U> nicomachus: Encryption will multiply corruption. A basic characteristic of encryption is that a one bit change in the input (per encrypted block) should cause a seemingly random change in all of the other bits in that block.
[23:37] <nicomachus> Jordan_U: this entire fiasco has turned me soooo far away from favoring encryption..
[23:38] <nicomachus> I mean, jesus... I could have had this fixed 2 weeks ago without it.
[23:38] <nicomachus> >insert boot-repair live cd >click ok >reboot >enjoy.
[23:41] <Bashing-om> gt8ost4l: Sounds like old documentation from the 10.04 era . What release are you running ? We now have command line tools to install drivers. What returns ' sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' .
[23:42] <gt8ost4l> i need your help its not just inf files its sys and another inf
[23:42] <gt8ost4l> im running 15.04
[23:43] <Bashing-om> gt8ost4l: Huh ? Are you compiling from source ?
[23:43] <gt8ost4l> no im using ndiswrapper
[23:44] <gt8ost4l> what that compiles it from source?
[23:45] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: Do *not* use NDISWrapper.
[23:46] <Bashing-om> gt8ost4l: Not done ndiswrapper, so that lets me out . In 15.04 what is the problem that you can not use the drivers in the software repository .
[23:46] <gt8ost4l> i cant connect to my router from ym other laptop so i need to install the drivers
[23:47] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: What wireless card are you using? Is it internal or external (USB)?
[23:47] <gt8ost4l> internal
[23:49] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: Please pastebin the output of "lspci -vnn".
[23:51] <gt8ost4l> http://pastebin.com/YQnRdbYq
[23:53] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: You have an Atheros card which is very well supported by open drives, which are included in Ubuntu by default (and are currently in use). You do *not* need any more drivers, and installing NDISWrapper is likely to break the drivers you already have.
[23:54] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: What happens when you try to connect to your wireless network?
[23:54] <gt8ost4l> it shows no wireless connections
[23:55] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: Please pastebin the output of "nm-tool".
[23:56] <gt8ost4l> its not found
[23:56] <gt8ost4l> just show me how to install the drivers
[23:57] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: You already have the proper drivers installed.
[23:57] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[23:57] <gt8ost4l> i told the other guy already
[23:57] <gt8ost4l> 15.04
[23:59] <Jordan_U> gt8ost4l: "nm-tool" is included by default, did you mistype it?
[23:59] <gt8ost4l> nope i did what you said
