[00:00] gt8ost4l: Please pastebin the exact output from running "nm-tool", whatever that output might be. [00:00] dont you think that would be a waste of time and server space [00:01] gt8ost4l: If it's a single line then feel free to post it in the channel. [00:01] this luks partition is showing up as 999GB / 931GB on testdisk. :/ [00:02] nm-tool: command not found [00:03] !find nm-tool [00:03] gt8ost4l: Sorry, I didn't realize that command had been depricated. [00:03] Found: W:, W:, W: [00:04] so how do i install the drivers there 2 sys and 2 inf [00:04] Jordan_U: Also : minimal install : The program 'nm-tool' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [00:04] sudo apt-get install network-manager [00:05] gt8ost4l: Please pastebin the output of "nmcli dev list". [00:07] gt8ost4l: You already have the drivers for your wireless card installed (ath9k). You do *not* want to install NDISWrapper. Would you trust those facts if they were confirmed by others in the channel as well as me? [00:07] yep [00:08] gt8ost4l: Confirmed. Jordan_U is most respected and has all 2,000 peeps complete confidence . === ichery is now known as lovelinux [00:31] any idea on how to install the new version of Nemo [00:34] hello, I am using 14.04.2 Ubuntu server and for some reason when I try to shut it down, it goes off completely and then starts again, I used sudo shutdown -h now [00:34] anyone knows a fix for this or why is the reason that this is happening? [00:35] Semiarty: take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/452750/reboot-after-shutdown-ubuntu-14-04-also-12-04-dell-latitude-e7440 [00:36] is it just me, or does IRC have an earthquake?? [00:40] thanks a lot x4Dx5A, it worked [00:42] Semiarty: no problem [00:44] in standard ubuntu desktop 14.04, i lost the left-side pillar with app-launchers in an accident, how to fix that? what pkg is it? === utlemming_away is now known as utlemming [00:49] Have laptop with uefi, went I it boots it gives error or no bootloader found, laptop will shut down. When I manually enter the boot menu, I have option for Ubuntu that then boots up normally. Any suggestions on how to get it to boot without having to manually select from bios boot menu? [00:50] Hullo - I am told by a website than I need to install Java. Is there an alternative to this? Iced tea something.... ? thanks [00:51] I am trying to setup 2 gateways so that traffic goes out the interface associated with what it comes in on, i got that part to work however traffic from the host itself doesnt seem to work, if anyone has any ideas http://pastebin.ca/3025024 [00:52] uio: There is open source java, if you're not aware. [00:53] hey guys, I just downloaded and installed gmod on my ubuntu MATE os. The shortcut on my desktop however, doesn't have the gmod icon, but rather the steam icon. Is there any way to ammend this? Thanks. [00:53] ubuntu173: Cool. Was not aware. [00:56] Garlotch: If you right click the icons properties than the steam ican you can replace it with what you want. [00:57] does anyone know how to restore from backuppc? I had an old hard disk with some images that were compilef from backuppc, I moved those folders to a new server, now I want to extract them folders so I view them, how do you go about this? === chris_ is now known as chaotix [00:58] hey [00:58] i am looking for documentation for packaging web pages as "ubuntu web apps" using the ubuntu browser [00:59] ubuntu173: I don't see that option. === littlebunnyfufu is now known as Guest8773 [01:00] Garlotch: Is it that you don't know where the icons you might want are, you have to navigate to them to change. [01:00] ubuntu173: under the shortcut's properties, there is Basic and Permissions. Basic has Name, Description, command and Comment. and permission you can imagine doesn't have an option to change the icon either. [01:00] ....there's a shortcut on my desktop that i want the icon changed.. [01:01] docmur: Are you asking how to mount a file system from the install and access the mounted file system ? [01:01] Garlotch, open the shortcut with gedit, and after "icon" direct to the path you want for the icon, or you can also... [01:01] Garlotch: Ah, are you right clicking the desktop icon, this may be a "mate issue" I'm not really up on the DE. [01:02] :/ [01:02] should i go to #ubuntu-mate and ask them? [01:02] chaotix: gedit eh? Is that cmd? [01:03] ohhh ok, thanks Chaotix, got it. Solved! :) [01:03] cheers. === _7 is now known as SonikkuAmerica [01:05] how to configure 'Use this connection only for resources on its network' without using GUI? [01:10] i disabled the network manager GUI from /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. [01:10] join #ubuntu-offtopic [01:10] oops [01:11] iepupp: I would understand "Use thie connection only for resources on its network" to mean "Don't consider this ethernet as a route for any networks other than its own". The main way that a connection ends up having a route for another network than its own, is by having a gateway on that network, advertising itself as such via DHCP. Is that the case for you? [01:14] Hi, does anybody else have problems getting to the login screen with 14.04? [01:15] yeah, I just want to configure it from CLI or config file i donot want to use GUI as i disabled it from from /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [01:17] well, for me it just doesn't wanna let me login after a cold start [01:17] usually works on the second or third attempt though [01:19] I have two interfaces setted up with DHCP (eth0 , eth1) by default it routes from eth0 i wanted to route the traffic to eth1 so inorder to achive this i checked 'Use this(eth0) connection only for resources on its network' [01:20] so you're saying ubuntu is just not able to boot cleanly? [01:20] How do I get hulu to play in ubuntu? [01:20] vastkahuna: browser with flash? [01:21] hello === mint is now known as Guest84446 [01:21] I have both firefox and chrome and neither will do it [01:21] we are anounymous [01:22] vastkahuna: but is flash installed and enabled in either browser? [01:22] I'm trying to watch videos on comcast and they use hulu [01:22] Yes I believe it is [01:22] In ubuntu 10. I have 02 users. User1 is normal. User2 is very slow. a simple command "clear".It is very slow. [01:24] vastkahuna, http://www.hulu.com/help/articles/166380 [01:24] vastkahuna: if you open ff and go to about:plugins do you see libflashplayer.so in the list? [01:24] ivan_on_trac: Have you only tested this slowness in a GUI environment, or does it happen with ttys or "su - user2" as well? [01:25] Jordan_U: Text environment. No GUI. [01:25] vastkahuna: also make sure if you have a plugin like noscript installed that it isn't blocking flash or javascript for hulu.com [01:25] vastkahuna, in theory, it should be working in both browsers. [01:25] Yes [01:26] vastkahuna, chrome even comes with built-in flash support [01:26] ivan_on_trac: If you run "su user2" from being logged in as user1, do you see the same slowdown? What about with "su -user2" (note the '-')? [01:26] ivan_on_trac: Sorry, that second command should have been "su - user2". [01:27] Jordan_U: same thing. It is slow. [01:27] In firefox it won't play at all, in chrome the ads that play before the video play just fine but when the video is supposed to start it just doesn't [01:28] hello all [01:28] I'm wondering if they just don't support linux? [01:28] vastkahuna: any chance there is a web filter on your network blocking hulu? [01:28] ivan_on_trac: Does top show anything in particular eating up a lot of CPU or RAM? [01:28] vastkahuna, if you right click on the video, do you see the flash version text in the menu that appears [01:29] Jordan_U: su - user2 - was also slow. [01:30] Anyone here knowledgeable on the various desktop distros and releases and all that? [01:30] jaydemir, ##linux [01:30] jaydemir, as long as it is ubuntu, you can ask here [01:30] jaydemir: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. If you have questions about other distributions please join ##linux. [01:31] got you [01:31] I have a question about Ubuntu: does anybody else have problems getting to the login screen with 14.04? [01:31] Jordan_U: the "top" did not show anything relevant. [01:31] I'm running xfce desktop installed via crouton on chrome os, I'm assuming it is some form of ubuntu [01:32] When I right click on the video I don't see any mention of flash, whether it's enabled or not [01:32] ivan_on_trac: What about "su user2 -c dash"? [01:32] hi guys, why are gnome apps broken on ubuntu? almost anything gnome- is broken, gnome-music, gnome-weather, gnome-clocks etc [01:33] vastkahuna: go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and see what the page does [01:33] co_o what hardware are you running it on? [01:33] if flash is working properly it should show an animation on the top of the page [01:33] jaydemir, does it matter? [01:34] if its running an ARM processor it does from what I'm told [01:34] ah no.. it's an old amd x2 something + nvidia desktop [01:35] the apps are broken.. run gnome-weather for example [01:35] pff.. never mind [01:35] It did some graphical display of their logo and now it's just showing what sytems it's available for [01:36] installing gweather now, gonna try it out [01:36] vastkahuna: well that means flash is installed and working [01:36] And it just told me I have the up to date version [01:36] Jordan_U: I solved! I removed the .bash_profile of the home. [01:38] co_o yeah, I click it and no response [01:38] yeah [01:38] vastkahuna, do videos play on the hulu website, if you have direct access to those that is [01:38] lots of them are so broken it's not even funny :D [01:38] running xfce-desktop on acer C720 chromebook if it helps [01:38] thanks jaydemir :D [01:39] going out for a drink. bye [01:39] Yes, I just played a clip they have for Jurassic World [01:40] vastkahuna: if you login and try a different video does it work? [01:40] vastkahuna, maybe you need this client http://itsfoss.com/install-hulu-desktop-app-ubuntu-linux/ [01:40] ivan_on_trac: What was in it that was causing things to be so slow? [01:40] vastkahuna, blame your isp then i guess. what about full movies? [01:41] Is there still an advantage to upgrading via a clean install versus Ubuntu's upgrade feature? [01:41] OerHeks: hulu labs does have a hulu desktop but vastkahuna's browsers should still be able to play the videos without it [01:42] Just general tv content, it's actually on comcast and they use hulu === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [01:43] Jordan_U: In ".bash_profile" I had nothing beyond the default. [01:44] vastkahuna, so actually the problem is that you cannot play the hulu videos embedded in the comcast's website [01:44] Jordan_U: That same user. I had the .bashrc and .bash_profile [01:44] vastkahuna, is that it? [01:44] Yes that is my issue [01:46] vastkahuna, are you using any kind of ad blockers, video downloaders or fliters, etc you could disable or any other assortment of browser plugins [01:46] vastkahuna: do you login to the comcast site with your comcast account or do you login with your hulu account? [01:46] anyone use mupen64? [01:47] vastkahuna: if comcast makes you login with hulu and you have noscript installed it might block the cross site request [01:47] I'm not using any of those, unless comcast is and I don't know the answer to that [01:48] vastkahuna: What happens when you try to play a Hulu video? [01:49] !screenshot | vastkahuna [01:49] vastkahuna: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imgur.com/ and link the created page here. [01:51] I just log in at comcast and click a video and it plays no problem, if I'm on a windows machine. On linux it was giving me a message stating that I need to update flash but I know now thatis upto date and now it doesn't give me any message it just doesn't play [01:52] vastkahuna, try clearing your cookies for the website [01:52] I did that already and it made no difference [01:53] vastkahuna: In chrome, please open a new incognito window and visite http://www.hulu.com/test-videos , from there try to play one of the test videos, without logging in. [01:56] Videos play fine there [01:57] vastkahuna: OK. I'm not sure what you mean when you talk about logging in via comcast, but maybe the site you're using uses a slightly different player than is used with Hulu normally. To see if it's just incognito mode that's fixing things, try logging in how you normally would in that incognito window and see if you can watch any shows. [01:59] Hi - I am installing 14.04 server and I want to install raid1 - I can't make the raid device bootable - in all the docs it says to make it bootable - any suggestions? [02:00] juniorsa: What docs are you referring to specifically? "make it bootable" is not a very meaninfull instruction. [02:00] I tried incognito and normally, same results. Logging in on comcast with your comcast email to prove you have an account with them so you can watch on computer or away from home [02:02] Jordan_U: maybe not all the docs :) I just watched a video and it said it there - is it not necessary? [02:04] juniorsa: "Make it bootable" is an essentially meaningless statement, especially when referring to a RAID array. You definitely need to have a bootloader installed, but that's true with or without RAID. I would stick to official documentation rather than youtube videos. [02:04] Jordan_U: ok will do - I'm continuing with the install ... [02:04] I will install grub at the end === hr49_pi is now known as hr49 [02:09] "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda when trying to install Grub boot loader on hard drive [02:11] juniorsa: Is this mdraid or fakeraid? Are you making an array of member drives, or member partitions? What partition table type (GPT vs msdos) is used on these drives? === hr49 is now known as hr49_pi [02:12] Jordan_U: mdraid - 2 3TB drives - 1 raid for swap and 1 raid for the rest of the available space with the / [02:12] Jordan_U: how do I check the partition type now? [02:13] juniorsa: If they're 3 TiB then I would hope they use GPT, or you'd only be able to use 2 of your 3 TiB. Did you create a BIOS boot Partition on each of the drives? [02:13] no I didn't is that necessary? [02:14] where do I choose gpt? [02:14] when creating the partition table [02:14] i think mbr is limited to 1.5tb or so [02:14] juniorsa: By default Ubuntu's installer will use whatever partition table type is already on the drive. Unless you changed it, your drives came with GPT. [02:15] dont remember id always go with gpt unless some os you boot doenst support it [02:15] ok I'll start over with a new partition table [02:16] juniorsa: You do however need to create the BIOS Boot Partitions yourself, if you want to be able to boot from these drives on a BIOS based system. If you want to be able to boot via UEFI you'll need an EFI System Partition instead. [02:16] hi [02:16] ok is the bios boot parition something new? [02:18] juniorsa: It's not very new, but as GPT formatted drives have become more common people have needed to know about it more frequently than they previously did. [02:18] how big should the bios boot partition be? [02:19] juniorsa: 1 MiB. [02:19] ok I'll do that now [02:19] juniorsa: And ideally the BBPs should be the first partition on each drive. [02:19] hi all, I met a problem on 14.04 about indicator-messages. [02:20] juniorsa: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/BIOS-installation.html [02:20] after minimize xchat, when I resume the xchat from indicator-messages. [02:20] juniorsa: Is your computer in fact BIOS based rather than UEFI based? [02:20] it always boot new one. [02:20] Jordan_U, could you help me ? [02:21] Jordan_U: yes it is bios based [02:21] juniorsa, and you ? [02:21] Tony_: No. [02:22] Tony_: I'm not sure I can help - I'm having problems of my own :) [02:24] Tony_, test. [02:25] I'm on 14.04 and my '/boot' is too full to update, what should I delete from here without breaking anything [02:26] Thesaurus: "sudo apt-get autoremove" should remove old kernels. Check the list of things it's going to remove first though, especially if it's long. [02:26] Thesaurus: If it is not at 100% capacity, try terminal command ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' to remove old kernels and free up disk space , [02:26] Tony_, xchat is rather old and no longer maintained by it's main developer, try hexchat [02:26] thank you guys [02:27] OerHeks, thank you. [02:36] OerHeks, hi, I installed the hexchat, I can not fond icon in the tray yet. maybe there are some trouble with my config ? [02:37] In Unity? did you install hexchat indicator package¿ Tony_ [02:38] xangua, It is Unity. okay, I will try to install indicator package at first. ;) [02:41] xangua, could I install it by apt-get ? [02:43] could anybody direct me where to ask about automated re-building of packages. Packages are already built for older version of ubuntu (12.04 or so) [02:43] Jordan_U: when I create a partition table on the drives there is no option for GPT or msdos - is there a way to make sure I am creating a GPT one? [02:43] I can not find the icon of hexchat in the Unity Systray on 14.04. [02:48] Tony__: Were it me I would restart the DE or logout than in as a start. [02:51] I just installed hulu desktop and it crashes when I attempt to launch it. Anyone know how to fix this? === bpsizemore_ is now known as bpsizemore [02:53] I haven't install hexchat indicator. [02:53] uit [02:53] i'm for valdemort...are you ther [02:53] there [02:54] how i clean my system [02:54] sudo clean thing [02:55] Tony__: Hexchat every timen I've installed loads everything you need, where is this install from? [02:56] ubuntu115, okay, I will try to restart Ubuntu. ;) [02:56] whats the command? [02:57] vastkahuna: Has been not supported for awhile, there is a hulu gui that looks like a browser in the repos "unity-webbapps-hulu-player" might be worth a try. [02:58] So look for that in ubuntu software center? [02:59] vastkahuna: Sure or an apt-get install [03:00] vastkahuna: Seeing your troubles, I loaded that desktop crashes here, did not pursue a fix though, very far anyway [03:01] juniorsa: I'm sure that debian installer defaults to GPT for such large drives, but I couldn't tell you how to create a BIOS Boot Partition from d-i. For how to do so manually see: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/BIOS-installation.html [03:02] someone help me [03:02] I tried to install that from the terminal and it replied unable to locate package [03:02] ablest1980: might start here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [03:02] ubuntu115, after I reboot my computer, I can not fond the icon of hexchat in the SysTray. [03:02] whats that cmd bleachbit uses to clean sys [03:03] ok ty [03:03] Tony__: Does it launch if you run hexchat in the terminal? [03:04] So fun question for the evening. I am about to so some upgrades to my machine. One is a R9 270 video card and eventually dual cards setup with crossfire. Anyway is there any reason to stick to the open source drivers or is the hassle of AMD drivers worthwhile? [03:04] I can launch it well, but I can minimize it. [03:04] ablest1980: General houseclean: ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get autoclean ; sudo apt-get autoremove ; sudo apt-get -f install . all there is to it . [03:05] ubuntu115, the problem is that I can not minimize it. [03:05] ty bashing [03:06] XD [03:06] ablest1980: np . keep on keep'n on . [03:07] ok [03:07] Tony__: Ah, but with no icon it's gone, without a command anyway sounds like. I'm not sure exactly, should be a done deal. [03:07] ah cannot minimizw, missed that Tony__ my mistake [03:08] Jordan_U: so I got the GPT done and install completed without incident but the system won't boot - I get into grub rescue now :( so close - I can boot from the cd in rescue a system and I am at a prompt :) [03:08] Turnip_Green: R9 series and ATI cards see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2244700 ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2278589 . [03:09] juniorsa: Ubuntu's installer probably only installed grub's boot sector to the MBR of one of your drives. Try changing the boot order in your BIOS, then once booted into Ubuntu run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to configure Ubuntu to always install grub's boot sector to both drives' MBR. [03:10] Thank you Bashing-om, guess I've got some reading to do. [03:11] Turnip_Green: Yeah, deep waters, I am not sure that crossfire has support . [03:12] Jordan_U: it is asking me if I should keep the configuration file for grub or use the package maintainer's version [03:12] I don't get it, if I write an upstart script with a pre-start script which does VAR=$(stuff) export VAR and then exec /path/to/program $VAR why is $VAR not being set up in pre-start? [03:12] Any reason why adobe flash plugin doesn't work on web apps that I pin to my launcher? (Example, youtube) [03:13] I've read the it does with the AMD drivers. But deep waters none the less. Then throw in the crossover stuff I'm toying with right now and I've got boat loads of fun. [03:13] Does anyone know what I need to get videos to play on comcast's website, they use hulu [03:13] juniorsa: Use the package maintainer's version. [03:13] oh, that's ugly [03:14] SO it is it at all possible to get the dash to search youtube in Ubuntu 15.04? (unity 8) [03:14] juniorsa: When it gets to the point of asking you about install devices be sure that both "sda" and "sdb" have '*'s next to them. You select a device with space bar, and continue on to the next question with Enter. [03:14] hi body, which one IRC client can works well on the Ubuntu 14.04 64bit ? [03:15] Turnip_Green: Well, On the bright side, You are having fun, and having fun and still not going to jail . [03:15] which one do you guys use now ?

Please run the script following the directions here: http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ and then !pastebin the RESULTS.txt for us to use to help diagnose your problem. [03:16] Hatycat, can it minimize in tray ? [03:16] Unity. [03:16] Bashing-om the fun would most certainly stop in jail. Try to avoid such places, they don't agree with me. [03:17] tony use hexchat [03:18] hero100, Hatycat, ytre, I tried xchat and hexchat, but I can not be minimize in SysTray(Ubuntu 14.04 64bit Unity). [03:18] Turnip_Green: In all my experience, I have never known of anyone going to jail working to get graphics drivers working ! OH joy ! [03:18] Tony__: weechat is just a terminal client, so yeah use hexchat I use it on windows its great [03:18] hmm maybe use weechat than? [03:18] again its just a terminal client tho [03:19] Bashing-om true story. It is a rare occurrence, but the world of a frustrated geek can be turbulent. [03:20] Hatycat, okay, thank you for your advice. ;P [03:21] Hello, World! @Tony__, I've just started to use IRC and "irssi" client looks good. [03:22] pz3Gull, why you guys don't you client with GUI ? : | [03:23] pz3Gull, without GUI, I can not works fine. ;P [03:29] @Tony__, GUI or not GUI, that is the question! But it depends of each one ;) [03:29] I upgraded Ubuntu from 14.04 to 15.04. Now when I run Chromium, it takes it a long time to render when I switch to a window (i.e. I see a line moving down the screen as it paints the window). I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers but in Intel mode, at 3200x1800. No other program (including Google Chrome) seems to do it. Has anyone else seen this problem? [03:30] I have an issue/problem if I may. I installed World of Warcraft, and it runs, but when I start it, it does not display text correctly. Its yellow and white blocks with a mix of arabic looking language. My version is 1.7 (wine), running ubuntu 15.04. I asked in #winehq, just thought I'd ask in here too because of me running ubuntu [03:31] pz3Gull, haha. How humorous you are.

[04:22] i started having problems [04:22] fresh install [04:23] drone_: maybe go back to LTS for more stable experience? [04:23] didnt know you could upgrade :( [04:23] drone_: no, you did fine mate not reccomended to upgrade lts to non-lts [04:24] drone_: did you enable internet+updates+3rd party software during setup? [04:24] yeah...i did :( [04:24] hmm ok [04:24] its weird though...i didnt use the same driver when it was in 14 [04:24] i meant i USE the same driver [04:25] drone_: can you remember wich modules? [04:25] drone_: you can see with sudo lshw -C video behind driver [04:25] it was fglrx-updates [04:25] it was proprietary driver...not sure if they did anything funny to it [04:26] drone_: but you tested them all you said right [04:26] yeah.. i tested them all ....same result [04:26] <---pulling hair out [04:26] drone_: in most cases the driver ubuntu chooses works best [04:26] drone_: if you cant get it straight on vivid, try back to 14.04 perhaps? [04:26] errr the xorg driver didnt perform that well imo [04:27] drone_: what errors did you experience? [04:27] there wasnt any error...it just seems slower in Vivid [04:28] drone_: some amd/ati card suffer xorg-video bugs, maybe would be wise you dig out your logs [04:28] drone_: syslog and dmesg [04:28] so you think it's best to stick with xorg driver? [04:28] drone_: in most cases its wise to use the driver ubuntu chooses, if you choose inetrnet+updates during install yes [04:29] drone_: then after that, digout your logs to check whats wrong [04:29] drone_: maybe its something else lagging? [04:29] reason why i switched driver because the recommended driver wasnt performing well [04:29] drone_: overall system lag, or just games? [04:30] chrome, firefox ... games is fine [04:30] hmm [04:30] maybe it's chrome and firefox :( [04:30] drone_: that doesnt make any sense, maybe your system speed lags and not vidoe driver [04:31] drone_: try a few things: install preload, tweak unwanted systemd services,clean system with bleachbit [04:31] drone_: see if that can speed up things [04:31] !info preload | drone_ [04:32] drone_: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon.

[05:21] henryweismann, if that is the device with sdb1, yes [05:22] OerHeks: well to test that was the issue i disconnected the drive and rebooted and did not see it make the boot time better, but perhaps thats not a good test? === xangua is now known as angel [05:23] OerHeks: I just am wary of making system changes until i can verify it is the issue, or be sure that the change is no big deal === angel is now known as lucifer [05:24] OerHeks: but perhaps it is needed, i think i tried doing it but it didnt help [05:24] OerHeks: it was a while ago so i forget what i did === lucifer is now known as Guest59961 === Guest59961 is now known as xangua [05:27] OerHeks: i guess e2fsck is only a disk check so its fine to run, i guess my issue was it didnt work [05:27] OerHeks: sorry i gave up back when i posted and have not returned to it until now [05:28] OerHeks: hold on, forget to tell you if it was sdb1 [05:29] OerHeks: yes sdb1 and it is my usb drive [05:32] OerHeks: i have a new problem with that drive now too, once i added it to fstab (because it would never mount on reboot) it now created "Weismann Backup1" when I have aksed it to mount at "Weismann Backup" [05:33] good, you give answers on your own questions. fix them.

[05:38] henryweismann: why pay for support? support is free in this channel [05:38] any mountpointname with a space in it is crazy. [05:38] well i can give you the line in fstab [05:39] 2. you already said you put a different name in fstab than te mountpointname [05:39] 3 that is why fsck cannot run the partition, it cannot find it, and that is what you see in the log [05:40] so fix the name, in fstab and mountpoint, and when you reboot it fill find that sdb1 fine. maybe you do not need to run fsck afterall [05:40] well i added the mount months after i had this problem i think, but wierd now i check my fstab and it is different fromt he last time ai looked?, perhaps the ubuntu upgrade changed it? [05:41] No, upgrade does not change mountpoints, it is user error. [05:41] ( name with spaces, ughh) [05:42] wierd because i thought i told it to mount at a certain folder name but thats not in fstab [05:42] http://pastebin.com/Fj64xeZk [05:42] yeah i know, i should probably change that [05:42] i named the drive a long time ago [05:43] Tony, I has the same issue with xchat.

[09:19] never seen this before, must be a way to remove /home.bad [09:19] Unhammer: yeah my other regular account works correctly [09:20] so you can ssh into another account on that machine?

[09:23] !server | huwenfeng perhaps the server channel knows [09:23] huwenfeng perhaps the server channel knows: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [09:24] Lothario: that's a vserver using vesta control panel? [09:25] aws [09:25] i dont use cpanal [09:26] huwenfeng, 10.04 is EOL, dead. use a supported version, like 12.04 or better 14.04 lts [09:27] !10.04 [09:27] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support ended on April 30 2015. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [09:27] i hate mir [09:27] Lothario, nice, but there is no mir standard in ubuntu [09:27] How can I touch a file hundreds of years into the future? [09:27] Unhammer: can't login as 'ciao', but anyway I got what you are saying. I've recreated with ssh-keygen as ciao user a new key pair and .ssh dir got created. authorized keys file got copied from the working account and I run chown snd checked permission... I don't know but probably the fact that was created with the system flag has other not obvious implication [09:28] KettleWork: You can't [09:28] Unhammer: maybe you know how to revert it to be a normal user? [09:29] TJ-, can I set the modified date to the future in any other way? I will be dealing with files that I later can find looking for modified time of +10000 years, but I have no example files to verify my script on [09:29] KettleWork: The current unix time value will wrap in around 2038 I seem to recall; there's an effort to increase the number of bits used to extend it [09:29] so can anyone help me remove /home.bad? [09:30] Lothario: the file-system is read/write? "/home/" is writeable by the user? [09:30] es_, I don't, although from "man useradd" I don't see the difference apart from it having a low UID/GID, no aging and that you have to use -m to create a home (which i suppose you must have :) [09:31] yes [09:31] i did a chmod 777 /home.bad [09:31] chown -R root.root [09:31] as root, it will not remove [09:32] es_, you can of course change uid/gid with usermod but it'd be _really_ odd if that had an effect [09:32] Lothario: I misread the path, so let me re-ask: Is "/" writeable by the user? [09:32] yes [09:32] db1:/home.bad/admin/conf# cd / [09:32] db1:/# touch hi [09:32] db1:/# [09:33] ~ciao is readable to ssh, right?

Like so: touch -d "$(date -r messages.txt) + 1000 years" messages.txt [09:34] Lothario: but what about "/home.bad/admin/conf" ? [09:34] this is not mystery hardware its an intel controller I dunno why they can't get this stable [09:34] same [09:34] all owned by root [09:34] perms 777 [09:34] most popular end user linux distro out there yet this does not work [09:34] pft [09:34] KettleWork: but the datestamp will wrap around at 2038 and so reading it won't give the value you expect it to [09:35] TJ-, statting the file gives me the year 3220 at the moment. The important thing is that the file is messed up datewise and that I later find it with find . -newermt "100 years" [09:35] cant rename any of the dirs, TJ- [09:35] but i can rename or move /home.bad [09:35] Hi everyone [09:35] Lothario: can you show us :pastebinit <(find /home.bad -ls)" [09:36] TJ http://termbin.com/qn4c [09:37] Lothario: does touch /home.bad/something work? [09:38] I@m having an issue with my PCIe NIC not coming up early enough to be detected by libvirt when its starting my VMs, is there someplace or somehow I can modify the load order to get it to come up earlier? My two onboard nics come up just fine and early enough [09:38] not in the directories that i can't remove [09:38] Lothario: what release of Ubuntu is it on? [09:38] try to lsattr those dirs [09:38] wait, yes i can create files in those dirs [09:39] lsattr returns nothing [09:40] TJ-: good morning. (don't worry -- no technical problems) .. lol [09:40] what should i chattr them to? [09:40] Lothario: try: "strace -e trace=file rm /home.bad/admin/conf/mail" and check the messages immediately before the access denied result [09:41] it says EACCESS Permission denied [09:42] : Permission denied [09:42] newfstatat(4, "web", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0777, st_size=4096, ...}, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0 [09:42] Lothario: You have confirmed that no process has a file handle open for "/home.bad/admin/conf/mail/" ?

[09:44] Unhammer: mmm I think it depends on some settings on my sshd config... I'm investigating . I'm now able to get it typing the password and using the AllowUsers directive but it shoulnd't be necessary. I don't understand looks more like a bug then a feature [09:44] Lothario: Try "ls -l /proc/{1..9}*/fd/ | grep 'home\.bad' [09:45] i [09:45] it wouldnt match 1..9 [09:45] Hello [09:46] ok it did with bash [09:46] root@db1:/home.bad/admin# ls -l /proc/{1..9}*/fd/ | grep 'home\.bad' [09:46] root@db1:/home.bad/admin# [09:46] Hey folks [09:46] nothin [09:46] hw r u [09:46] doesnt match home either [09:46] Lothario: what release is that? what shell are you using? [09:46] ubuntu 14.10, i switched to bash [09:47] Lothario: OK, so no process has a handle to anything in /home.bad/ ... that's good to know [09:47] er, 14.04 [09:47] correct, nothing has it open [09:47] Lothario: right, so the only things it can be are extended ACLs [09:47] so its an ACL [09:48] Lothario: You've done "facl /home.bad/admin/conf/mail" ? [09:48] db1:/# lsattr home.bad [09:48] -------------e-- home.bad/admin [09:49] Lothario: try getfacl home.bad/admin/conf/mail [09:49] i dont have facl instaelled [09:49] user::rwx [09:49] group::rwx [09:49] other::rwx [09:50] Lothario: The problem is more like to be in the directory parent that contains "mail" since that is where the "mail" entry has to be deleted from [09:50] I can't get this bash statement to work: echo -e "this!\nis!\nawesome!" [09:50] I either get "event not found" errors from the exclamation points, or I get \! in the output === julian is now known as Guest34161 [09:50] philluminati: escape the ! [09:51] philluminati: otherwise the shell will evaluate the ! itself [09:51] TJ: can i use e2fsprogs to remove it? [09:51] TJ: If I escape it.. the escaped character appears in the output [09:51] philluminati: you're probably using the shell's built-in echo, not /bin/echo [09:52] ahhh... [09:52] TJ-: still doesn't work: http://pastebin.com/Ut7zDU8f [09:53] Lothario: that's a package... I'm not aware of a tool in that package other than the *attr tools that will help [09:53] philluminati: echo -e "this"'!'"\nsucks"'!'"\n" [09:54] hmm [09:54] X='!' /bin/echo -e "this${X}\nis${X}\nawesome${X}" #also works [09:54] it all happened when i untarred a weird package [09:54] philluminati: why don't you use printf ? [09:55] thanks llutz [09:55] ui give p [09:55] philluminati: have fun counting the quotes :) [09:55] i dont know what else to do to remove a directory [09:55] printf "this!\nis\nawesome\n" [09:55] philluminati: or echo -e "this! \nis! \nawesome!" [09:55] nevermind [09:56] Don't worry guys.. I will make do with llutz "'"'"' solution === lala_ is now known as lala [09:58] philluminati: the cause is that ! is interpreted by the shell as a history expansion command [09:58] I get that [09:58] I was just unsure of why escaping it like \! leaked into the output [09:59] potentially evaluated first [09:59] philluminati: I don't know, but the man page says it will pass through the literal \ prefix :s [09:59] philluminati: hey this works echo -e 'this!\nis' [10:00] interesting, I thought cause the \n not to be interpreted, but it does [10:01] hello,world [10:01] philluminati: i guess cause -e tells echo to interpret them, but the ' tells bash to lay off [10:01] philluminati: any reason you have to surround with double-quotes? [10:01] TJ-: no [10:02] I've rewritten it now and happy with it. thanks [10:15] Hi, i have a partition /dev/xvdf1 mounted at /var/log/uwsgi and at /home/ubuntu/logs .. tar is running on /home/ubuntu/logs/logfile. When I try to unmount /var/log/uwsgi however, I get a device busy error [10:15] How can I unmount the partition only from one location? === julian is now known as Guest22123 [10:23] okay, fixed that using umount -l [10:23] How do I debug a failed init.d service [10:23] uwsgi in this case, There are no logfiles in /var/log/uwsgi/ === gms is now known as Guest76370 [10:27] fixed that too, thanks [10:31] What could be the problem if os-prober detects Win7 but update-grub doesn't ? Is there a "enable-os-prober" variable somewhere ? [10:32] Hello, anyone knows if clamv is really necessary? is there a way to check if it has ever found anything in the past year i've had it installed in my system? [10:32] rtur: type ls -l /etc/grub.d/*os-prober [10:34] EriC^^: It's there, but I noticed that I currently have legacy grub, am now replacing it with 2. Maybe legacy grub can't use the os-prober script ? [10:34] is the script +x ? [10:35] rtur: maybe [10:35] EriC^^: Yes. With grub2 it works. Thank you. [10:35] no problem [10:36] I have a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit running on Lenovo Y510P. My computer was not hibernating on battery critical (even though my battery applet does indeed give me a notification about battery critical at 3%). I then tried using laptop-mode-utils as shown here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/195671/wont-hibernate-when-battery-critical to get it to hibernate at 4% battery. That doesn't work either. Anyone know what could be wrong? [10:40] do you have swap partition? [10:41] Why does everytime I opena .deb file from within Chrome or any other web browser, a new isntance of google chrome pops up and re-downloads the file, whereas if I open the .deb from the file manager, it opens the software manager like it should? [10:43] astroboy: were you asking me that? If so, the answer is no. So that's why! Thanks! [10:43] yes i asked you :) [10:43] :) Thanks [10:43] Hannofcart: you need swap for hibernation (suspend to disk) since the ram needs to be copied somewhere [10:43] That makes sense. [10:44] k11: yes I understand [10:44] thanks [10:44] and with battery critical state it wants to hibernate, since it cant keep the ram alive since there might be no power left. [10:44] Hannofcart, because we have same problem :'D [10:45] Hannofcart: swap-file might work too if you dont want/have a swap partition [10:45] k1l: Thanks a ton.

[12:33] ощшт [12:33] juniorsa, but that's my personal reference [12:33] exit [12:34] no i don't like an installer doing my partitioning . i prefer to do it with gparted which is simple and straight forward IMO [12:36] ok I've booted with knoppix and I am at a # I don't know how to make changes to mdadm :( [12:37] how can i tell [12:38] if nfs is working? i can telnet 2049 and 111 but i cant mount it [12:38] i'm using ubuntu server as the nfs server and a centos client as the nfs client [12:40] juniorsa, dunno much about raid , I just use on HDD for the OS , the others are media and data drives [12:40] one HDD [12:40] what's the log file for ubuntu's nfs?

[16:01] timtimtim: apache? [16:02] salut [16:02] Has anyone sucseed setting up vga passthroug in kvm? [16:02] j'aimerai pouvoir travailler sur un lien symbolique [16:02] mais je ne pense pas que ce soit possible [16:02] orion: that isn't wrong [16:02] hey I could use some help. I'm running xfce-desktop trusty and I tried to install UNetBootin. When I open it, I just get a blank interface. any idea why? [16:03] mawels, never needed it. You have two video cards in the host? [16:03] orion: it's a bug in the hardware enablement stack that was backported to 14.04 [16:03] jaydemir: try opening it from a terminal and seeing if you get error messages [16:04] Compdoc i do, i have a integrated intel hd 2000 and a dedicated hd7850 [16:04] how would I do that? [16:04] jaydemir: open up a teminal and typr 'unetbootin' (which I'm assuming is the binary name [16:04] mawels, the video card you want to pass cannot be used by the host in any way. at least thats my understanding === ika is now known as Guest48987 [16:05] Ok but when i pass the dedicated vga, wich is not in use, my system hangs [16:07] Is anyone here familiar with shadowprotect ?

[16:10] meta-system: are you saying it blocks the *next* upgrade only? [16:10] cybrNaut: "Keep a package at its current version" [16:10] #ubuntu-discuss [16:10] for all next upgrade [16:11] meta-system: the interesting bit is: "this will not prevent future upgrades." [16:11] it's a contradiction [16:11] cybrNaut: but you can have dependencies problems with other packages [16:12] sorry, effectively [16:12] cybrNaut: prevent upgrade package if you think next version is not enough stable for you [16:13] or if a dependencie is not enough stable [16:13] meta-system: isn't it pointless to block the next version, but not the version after the next? [16:14] the version after the next is likely to have the same changes as the next [16:14] cybrNaut: it seems [16:15] cybrNaut: for example, if you don't want rev version [16:15] but jump directly to next version [16:16] rev version?

[16:38] BOU [16:45] Ints: not sure how that happened, if you tool the simple path of letting the installer partition your drive using a canned layout [16:45] Ints: try reinstalling.. perhaps another distro, like Mint [16:50] cybrNaut: I just had mint, thought I'd try ubuntu.

[17:19] M_angled: I know what weechat is, I want to see the output of that command above in a pastebin, but I'm saying that is the wrong perl lib as a dep which is why I am curious, it should be libperl5.18 not libperl5.14 [17:20] ohhh I see [17:20] ok [17:20] Ctjctj no problem, ask if you needed help with modifying config [17:21] MCSH: you been able to solve your issue mate?

[17:25] Let me check with apt-cache [17:25] ctjctj menu.lst is for legacy I believe [17:25] M_angled: that's fine, I see you added an external weechat repo, but it seems you added the wrong one, if you don't want to use the repo version it seems like the right repo line is: deb https://weechat.org/ubuntu trusty main [17:25] Greetings [17:25] ctjctj: what are you trying to edit exactly?

[17:30] hm, I did actually want 'wheezy" because I'm superstitious about using the same program version as the majoirity ;) but if trusty will work and wheezy will be a hassle, I'll give it a shot [17:30] attempting to install from new repo now [17:30] (through unity-tweak-tools) [17:30] yank: maybe try grub recoverymode with a shell, and make a new user? [17:30] I can login on tty [17:30] M_angled: well the versions are all the same, the difference is they build against different libs [17:31] ah, ok. I thought I was using a slightly older program version by using wheezy [17:31] yank: checkout lightdm.log maybe to see whats going on?

[17:32] lotuspsychje, thanks, but all those settings are normal-looking, as before (and the troubleshooting stuff is all "i have no sound" which is not my problem; my system simply isn't reacting to the HW keys) [17:32] pbx: anything relevant in syslog or dmesg about it?

[17:42] oh, ok === stack is now known as Guest16741 [17:43] because I already tried to install it and it said it was already installed [17:43] will reinstall it this time [17:43] One other thing in there: I fixed this by installing unity-greeter and manually editing /etc/lightdm/lighdm.conf (greeter-session was empty for some reason, I had to set it to "unity-greeter"). [17:43] lotuspsychje, yeah, nothing in either when i hit the keys [17:44] After installing Ubuntu, I get the error "no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed" Here is my boot repair paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11703197 [17:44] Scraak, sounds like grub was not installed. [17:45] ctjctj: I do not even have a lightdm.conf file O.O [17:45] will reinstall it [17:45] Try with just the ubuntu-session install first. [17:46] I'm just reading the web page for you. I know what it is like to be stuck in the cli with no gui. (about the time I start web browsing with my phone) [17:46] ctj, how do install grub? I'm pretty new to linux [17:46] should I restart ? [17:46] if everything is absolutely wonderful "sudo update-grub" [17:47] Yank, you might be able to do "sudo service lightdm restart" [17:47] If not you can use the M$ fix. [17:47] ctjctj I doubt that would work; Scraak do you have an ubuntu disk/flash drive? [17:47] yeah i have it on disk [17:48] Can you boot it live? [17:48] yeah, it's what i'm doing rn [17:48] ctjctj: Reinstalled ubuntu-session, restart lightdm service, didn't work [17:48] Scraak: "no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed" comes from the PC's BIOS/Firmware. It is possible the problem is simply the boot device order setting [17:48] ctjctj: Should I try to reinstall lightdm aswell ? [17:49] yank, I don't think that is required. [17:49] Then what should I do ? I still not being able to login [17:49] TJ-: Which device should be booted first, then? [17:50] yank, I'm looking at my configurations for an answer for you. [17:50] ctjctj: Oh, thank you very much [17:50] Scraak: The device that Ubuntu is installed to - sometimes this happens after the install media is removed if the boot order was changed to do that. Some PCs can remove devices from the boot order list rather than just shuffling the list order [17:51] Scraak: That's the very first thing I'd investigate in this situation since the error comes from the firmware, not the boot loader or OS [17:51] TJ-:Yeah, the problem starts after ubuntu is done installing and it tells me to remove any installation device [17:52] yank, got to bounce to a different/older box. [17:52] Scraak: And to complicate matters, modern systems are often UEFI and have a BIOS boot compatibility mode called 'legacy' or CSM (Compatibility Support Module). Which is required depends very much on whether the installer booted in UEFI or BIOS mode since it'll install for that boot mode, too [17:53] TJ_: I'm certain it booted and installed in UEFI [17:53] Scraak: Your boot info seems to indicate a UEFI installation on sda [17:53] lotuspsychje: So, any thoughs ? [17:54] TJ-: Okay, does that mean I have to change something? [17:54] ctjctj: What I didn't understand sorry ? [17:55] I'm at the office right now. My office box is running 15.04. I can't find anything about a greeter in my config files. So I went to my home box running 14.10 and checked there. No greeter there either. [17:55] oh [17:55] Scraak: Now, with UEFI there's one other important issue. The PC firmware keeps, in non-volatile memory, the boot entries and the boot order. Looking at your boot info output, the listing produced by efibootmgr shows the boot order "BootOrder: 0001,0002,000A,000B,0006,0007,000C,0000" and that 0000 (last) is the Ubuntu entry... so all those other devices will be tried first. That also makes me think you need to alter the boot order in the Firmware setup so Ubuntu ( [17:55] 0000) appears first [17:56] Scraak: (line 472 of your pastebin) [17:56] Well just in case, I have no xorg.conf on etc/X11 neither lightdm.conf on etc/lightdm === knightstalker is now known as knightstalker_ [17:56] TJ-: Alright, but I've tried to manually boot it from ubuntu and it's had the same error [17:56] Scraak: OK ... let me read some more of your boot-info, in detail this time [17:57] yank: about 4 years ago xorg.conf became optional. The detection routines got good enough that the defaults were good. [17:57] Oh [17:57] What type of video card do you have? [17:57] me ? [17:57] intel gma 3150 [17:57] I want to use this computer as workstation [17:58] Scraak: line 707 indicates the boot order has been fixed [17:58] Scraak: Aha!! [17:59] I haven't changed anything yet so I don't know why that is [18:00] hi there [18:00] Scraak: Both the outputs from efibootmgr for the Boot000 (Ubuntu) entry have faulty paths - unless there's something wrong with how boot-info captures the output of efibootmgr. On the first (line 473) there is no path to the EFI executable... and on the 2nd (line 708) the path is missing the path separator slashes [18:00] TJ-: Okay, how do I fix it? [18:01] Scraak: That looks to me like Firmware bug... those used to be quite common... can you tell us the exact make/model of the PC motherboard and the firmware version ? [18:02] TJ-: Okay, I'm looking it up [18:03] Scraak: This might give it you: "grep DMI /var/log/dmesg" [18:03] yank, strings /usr/sbin/lightdm | grep lightdm takes us to /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d where you can find examples for /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [18:04] 50-ubuntu.conf says use user-session=ubuntu which would require ubuntu-session [18:04] TJ-: Okay it's Hewlett-Packard 500-c60/2B05, BIOS 80.10 01/10/2014 [18:04] yank: Have you investigated the logs in "/var/log/lightdm/" for clues? [18:06] TJ-: Yes but I know knothing about these things... === ika is now known as Guest33804 [18:07] TJ-: Would giving FAT32 a 'boot' flag in gparted fix the problem? [18:07] TJ-, He put out a pastbin. looks like X server got signal 10 [18:08] [+175.65s] DEBUG: Got signal 10 from process 3035 [18:08] TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11703233/ [18:08] Scraak: No; this is totally an firmware bug issue - path is incorrect in the boot menu [18:09] Scraak: I am trying to navigate the HP support site to discover any BIOS updates but the site goes round in circles! [18:10] yank: ctjctj Have you checked/removed "/home/$USER/.Xauthority" in case it is corrupt? [18:10] TJ-: Yes, will do that again... [18:11] anyone using spotify's web player? Can you login using the facebook ID? [18:12] yank: Shouldn't need to do it again - there's a rare bug where that file gets created owned by 'root' user so when a user logs in it doesn't have permission to delete and replace that file, so the user session aborts back to the login greeter [18:12] can I get systemd to put out some visual feedback when I stop/start/restart/reload services? [18:12] so I should chown the file to me ? [18:13] TJ-:I found the page where you download updates for my exact PC, but there is nothing listed. http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-500-c00-desktop-pc-series/6528309/model/6529878#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 [18:13] yank: It should already be owned by your user, if not, that is a problem === Samul|AWAY is now known as Samul` [18:14] yeah it stills not working [18:14] Scraak: OK but if you select Windows OS and Win 7 there's a BIOS update listed 80.20 Rev A) issued June 9th 2015 [18:15] Yank, I'm sorry but nothing more I can do for you from here. I can't even get my remote hands (lady) to do things on the broken box. [18:15]
