| olabaz | hey I ran an upgrade of programs and I got "a new version of configuration file /etc/default/grub is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified. What do you want to do about modified configuration file grub?" what should i choose here? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan_U | olabaz: Please pastebin your current /etc/default/grub. | 00:02 |
| olabaz | Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/mfxG591h | 00:03 |
| hplc | &join #security | 00:05 |
| histo | olabaz: keep the current one | 00:05 |
| olabaz | ok thanks | 00:06 |
| Jordan_U | olabaz: Why did you add "GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="false""? false is the default for that setting. | 00:06 |
| histo | olabaz: your current one differs from the default version the package provides. If you want to keep the version you modified then you would keep your local one. | 00:06 |
| olabaz | I don't remember doing anything | 00:06 |
| histo | olabaz: the timeout ljooks non default also | 00:06 |
| ubuntu925 | sat-buddhi: Can you pastebin the update and give the channel an url | 00:07 |
| histo | also the cmdline | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | histo: I *think* the cmdline will be preserved, as it's stored in debconf variable grub2/linux_cmdline_default . | 00:08 |
| histo | TJ-: how does the hard drive affect his ability to get into the firmware that's the part I don't get. | 00:08 |
| olabaz | oh I changed cmd b/c my keyboard wouldn't work and it didn't fix the problem -_- | 00:08 |
| TJ- | histo: I assume that if the firmware boot-handler can't find an ESP it drops into Setup as the only other option. | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | histo: If the boot firmware can't boot an OS then it realizes that showing the user a setup screen is probably better than shutting down again or just sitting there not accepting any input. | 00:09 |
| TJ- | histo: That's been the accepted way of handling a missing boot device as far back as I can remember | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | olabaz: If there are changes in /etc/default/grub that you didn't actually intend to make, then maybe using the package maintainer's version is a good idea, and as a bonus it will prevent this prompt from appearing again from future updates. | 00:10 |
| olabaz | Jordan_U, let's say I put keep the new one. What would be the easiest way to go back to the default? | 00:11 |
| histo | TJ-: But you're all alleging the hard drive is causing denied access to the firmware. As is the bios upgrade provided by lenovo that fixes this bug. I'd like to understand how installing anything on the hard drive can deny him access to the firmware | 00:11 |
| olabaz | Jordan_U, let me rephrase that | 00:11 |
| olabaz | Jordan_U, If I kept my previous version. How can I go to the package manager's version | 00:12 |
| TJ- | histo: No, that's not what we're saying. The issue is that the firmware is stuck in Fast-Boot mode - going straight to the ESP - and won't enter Setup. One owner reports that removing the boot device caused the U410 to enter Setup mode. | 00:14 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: I've just found a firmware/BIOS simulator that Lenevo provide for service engineers! http://service.lenovo.partner-management.com/content/CoursewarePublic/15415/U310_BIOS.swf | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Nice. | 00:17 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: That shows Intel Rapid Start as the most obvious potential cause. | 00:17 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: I'll be headed to bed shortly, so if regedit returns please point to that link for him | 00:17 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubuntu925> i got this error when I make an upgrade | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Will do. | 00:18 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubuntu925> it give me an error with "linux-headers-lowlatency_3.13.0.55 | 00:19 |
| hplc | how can i get rkhunter to check files against the ones on ubuntuservers in order to compare the SHA256 hash value?, trying to see if its corrupt or just because of updates | 00:19 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubuntu925> that is the message in spanish: "dpkg: error fatal irrecuperable, abortando, el fichero de lista de ficheros del paquete `zenity -contiene un nombre de fichero vacío" | 00:20 |
| ubuntu925 | sat-buddhi: I would pastebin the update with the command and post the url, as you can see so far the info is not empty but missing some easy confirms with requested info. | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | hplc: You can use debsums to check files against the sha of the shipped files. | 00:21 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, shipped? like a ISO or DVD? | 00:22 |
| ubuntu925 | !pastebinit | sat-buddhi | 00:22 |
| ubottu | sat-buddhi: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 00:22 |
| Jordan_U | hplc: Checked against the contents of the signed .deb files. | 00:23 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, i dont understand :S where is the clean source? if not cd or dvd? | 00:24 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubottu> ok... i din't know it :) | 00:24 |
| ubuntu925 | sat-buddhi: Cool, mainly I'm trying to get enough info here for the kernel support from the channel for yah. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | hplc: From "man debsums": Verify installed Debian package files against MD5 checksum lists from /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sums. debsums can generate checksum lists from deb archives for packages that don't include one. | 00:26 |
| Jordan_U | hplc: So it looks like it's more for users trying to detect corruption rather than mallicious modification. | 00:26 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubuntu925> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11727961/ | 00:28 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, but i dont care why its gone sour, i just want to weed out whatever IS sour, and i already ran debsums, a lot, with:sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(sudo dpkg -S $(sudo debsums -c 2>&1 | cut -d " " -f 4 | sort -u) | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u) | 00:29 |
| hplc | after that i got paranoid and tried rkhunter, and that gave me another answer, but nnow im becoming comfortble that rkhunter alerts ARE due to updates | 00:30 |
| ubuntu925 | sat-buddhi: Not quite what I needed myself, but I'm not your end fix help. You will get it resolved I suspect at some point, not anything more I can add. | 00:31 |
| sat-buddhi | <ubuntu925> ok... Thanks very much | 00:32 |
| hplc | hmm on the other hand, i COULD myself SHA256 hash all those files in clean repo | 00:32 |
| hplc | perhaps not even thats what causing ubuntu to freeze and hang thou | 00:33 |
| Jordan_U | hplc: What are the exact symptoms of the problem you're having? | 00:34 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, my ubuntu 14?04.2 is so very very slow, and after an hour it becomes unresponive , then apps start to hang, the entire kernel | 00:35 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, an airconditioner is blowing cold air over it so it shouldnt be heat | 00:36 |
| hplc | Jordan_U, and i regurlary vacumm away dust from the cabnett | 00:36 |
| hplc | ...i hope that was |exact" | 00:37 |
| TJ- | hplc: that sounds like some process is leaking memory and so the system is running out of RAM and using swap | 00:38 |
| hplc | bah, this british \ US keyboard layout, i wish i knew howto change in lubuntu environment | 00:38 |
| hplc | TJ-, thanks :) now i have a point to start from atleast thanks | 00:39 |
| hplc | had to install lubuntu frontend , ubuntu dragged it halt even faster | 00:40 |
| hplc | when thinking of it...........there have been complaints lately that there is no swap anymore, got destroyed somehow | 00:41 |
| hplc | and RAM fills up with blablabla | 00:42 |

| awojo | If I enable dhcp on MAAS will it interfere with my other dhcp server? I.E cause network conflictds | 00:56 |
| olabaz | Jordan_U, ok no worries I'll just wait for it to come up again lol | 00:56 |
| Jordan_U | olabaz: If you wouldn't mind trying that command, I'm curious if it will work for you. It's a slightly modified (based on my reading of "man dpkg") version of one of the solutions posted here: http://serverfault.com/questions/82801/linux-how-to-restore-config-file-using-apt-get-aptitude | 00:57 |

| toothrot | hi, i'd like to create a very restricted user account. it would be a bit like a service account... it won't need shell access, or a home dir, etc. (it's going to be used from a web interface, which syncs with the os users) | 01:09 |
| toothrot | can anyone point me in the right direction on something like that | 01:09 |
| OerHeks | toothrot, logout, and use the guest account. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeGuestSession | 01:13 |
| toothrot | what? it needs to be a named account with a password | 01:13 |
| toothrot | it'll be used by someone accessing a web interface (ajenti) | 01:14 |
| OerHeks | toothrot, then you need the users & groups tool, not installed standard, part of gnome-system-tools | 01:16 |
| jParkton | I dont know if this is a Kubuntu issue or not, I connected my laptop via VGA adapter to my hdtv and selected input "PC" and it displayed 'a' desktop that was like a side desktop to mine? And I couldnt play movies or anything on the side desktop | 01:16 |
| toothrot | this is for a server | 01:16 |
| jParkton | does anyone know if there is a specific setting on my laptop I need to use? | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | jParkton: you can change how it displays using the display settings thingy. or nvidia-settings if you have nvidia | 01:18 |
| olabaz | jParkton, are you trying to mirror your display or have an extended screen? | 01:19 |
| ki7mt | toothrot, I'd just create a normal user, then remove the groups you dont want it to have access too, or, create a group with minimal access and add the user to that group only. | 01:20 |
| toothrot | ki7mt, ok, i'll start there | 01:20 |
| OerHeks | to connect with a ajenti service, or to run ajenti on that server? | 01:21 |
| toothrot | OerHeks, not to run ajenti. ajenti syncs with the system accounts... | 01:21 |
| toothrot | so i want a user i can give permission to the web interface | 01:21 |
| toothrot | but can't log in to the actual server | 01:21 |
| kiki_lamb | Can someone direct me to an up-to-date-ish guide to making a Ubuntu server join a Windows (AD) domain? | 01:24 |
| kiki_lamb | Thanks | 01:24 |
| kiki_lamb | Google's offering me old-ish looking ones | 01:24 |
| ki7mt | toothrot, That may be tricky, does your web-interface use server authentication? | 01:24 |
| OerHeks | You could run a vm on that server, connecting to the ajenti-service, and ssh/screen tunnel | 01:25 |
| toothrot | ki7mt, what do you mean by "use server authentication?" ? | 01:25 |
| toothrot | it uses the credentials from the system it is running on.. | 01:25 |
| toothrot | (it's set up that way, anyhow) | 01:26 |
| OerHeks | "chapter: how do i work @home and nobody notice it" | 01:26 |
| ki7mt | toothrot, Normally, web apps have their own DB for Admin and Users, and do not authenticate through the server passwd mechanics. | 01:26 |
| hplc | Tj was right, i applied valgrind on browser midori and got report saying exactly where, how and how bad memory leaked | 01:26 |
| toothrot | ki7mt, yea, if it was setup that way, i wouldn't need to create a system account... ajenti is a server control panel. | 01:27 |
| ki7mt | toothrot, To allow that would be a big security concern. | 01:27 |
| toothrot | it can work that way, bt it's not configured like that | 01:27 |
| b4tm4n | what is the format of files in /etc/default/? | 01:27 |
| toothrot | ki7mt, ajenti is a web interface for admining the server... | 01:28 |
| ki7mt | toothrot, Fare enough :-) ... Hopefully, it's secure then. | 01:28 |
| toothrot | to be hoenst, i'm not a fan really either, but it wasn't my choice | 01:29 |
| toothrot | i'm trying to make sure what i'm doing won't be at fault at the very least :P | 01:29 |
| ki7mt | Yeah, I much prefer Keys Only server administration, but too each their own. | 01:29 |
| hinderaker | So on a scale from 1 to 10 how bad is it really to run irssi as root? :p | 01:31 |
| hinderaker | Got me thinking, I was a little eager and fired up irssi before I created a normal user and I got banned from the server for using root. | 01:32 |
| hinderaker | On a none-production, none-commercial box. Lets say its a VPS for irc only! | 01:32 |
| mach20x | I'm getting snow on my screen right now, it happened after I came back to my locked screen | 01:33 |
| hinderaker | Maybe its snowing? | 01:34 |
| ki7mt | hinderaker, Well, if you get hacked as root, it's certainly game over. At least with a non-privileged user it's contained somewhat. | 01:34 |
| hinderaker | ki7mt: Fair enough. But why does freenode care? :p | 01:35 |
| jParkton | olabaz: mirror my desktop | 01:35 |
| ki7mt | hinderaker, You'd have to ask them why. | 01:35 |
| ki7mt | I could guess, but, that's all it would be is a guess. | 01:35 |
| jParkton | Ben64: there was nothing I saw in my display settings | 01:35 |
| olabaz | jParkton, I think default is extending desktop. If you do a search for Display on your desktop you should be able to configure it. | 01:36 |
| hinderaker | ^^ | 01:36 |
| jParkton | ok i will have another go at it in a bit | 01:36 |
| OerHeks | we have a !root factoid | 01:36 |

| JohnDoe1972 | ive plenty basically | 02:38 |
| ubuntu925 | JohnDoe1972: I would be safe a start with 20 gigs, a separate home is some people s choice, personally I don't bother, just mentioned as although antiquated still popular | 02:38 |
| JohnDoe1972 | but i wish to save as much as i can for the other partitions | 02:38 |
| ubuntu925 | which means? | 02:39 |
| JohnDoe1972 | do you get a loading screen with grub ? | 02:39 |
| JohnDoe1972 | wwhich means ill go with 20 gb and no home dir | 02:39 |
| Tex_Nick | JohnDoe1972: typically if you only have one OS installed ... grub is bypassed on boot | 02:40 |
| JohnDoe1972 | im wanting to have win 7 and kylie | 02:41 |
| ubuntu925 | JohnDoe1972: Yes on grub and yeah on a straight 20 gig install. However you will now have 4 partitions, 2 you had and ubuntu and it's swap, this install could be contained in an extended partition,for more partitions. | 02:41 |
| ubuntu925 | unless you are uefi of course | 02:42 |

| ubuntu925 | JohnDoe1972: Be sure to confirm you're not uefi, just having 7 does not mean you don't | 02:44 |
| JohnDoe1972 | thax for all the advice n info guys | 02:44 |
| Tex_Nick | JohnDoe1972: also for dual boot ... keep in mind that installation is much easier if you install win first then linux ... that linux will setup grub automatically for dual boot ... so for dual boot installs ... win then lin | 02:44 |
| JohnDoe1972 | 0_0 umm confirm im not uefi . how ? | 02:44 |
| ubuntu925 | JohnDoe1972: paste bin sudo fdisk -l | 02:45 |
| JohnDoe1972 | if its not avail untill 8 then i HAVE to be the previos file system | 02:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ok i ned to sleep | 02:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | later gus | 02:46 |
| ubuntu925 | JohnDoe1972: Not a solid conclusion but it is your setup. ) | 02:47 |
| Tex_Nick | ubuntu925: I no longer use MS OS's, ... if bios supports uefi disable, will latest MS OS's still install ? up to say win 10 ? | 02:50 |
| Tex_Nick | with uefi disabled that is ^^^ | 02:50 |
| tomhardy | hey i'm in the ubuntu install proces and it's saying "Theis machines firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but theres' an exisitng system using BIOS compatibility mode".. what should i do? | 02:50 |
| ubuntu925 | Tex_Nick: I have W 10 on a msdos, not sure about what you describe have not had an uefi setup to mess with. | 02:52 |

| tomhardy | ok.. have you logged onto the router and forwarded the port from your router to your mums computer? | 03:01 |
| tomhardy | does your mums computer have openssh installed? what operating system is it running? windows / osx / linux? | 03:02 |
| tomhardy | hey guys. is the encryption that is used int he ubuntu setup "encrypt the new Ubuntu isntallation for security" full disk encryption? | 03:04 |
| AndChat|475904 | tomhardy: Yes. You can either use LUKS encryption of your root filesystem, leaving /boot/ essentially the only thing unencrypted, or you can choose to have ecryptfs encrypt only the files in your home directory. I personally think that the latter option makes more sense. | 03:09 |
| tomhardy | yeah i agree | 03:10 |
| Tex_Nick | tomhardy: see this, it's for 13.10 but I think holds true up to 115.04 ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/429590/what-are-the-advantages-disadvantages-of-the-new-encryption-feature-in-ubuntu-13 | 03:11 |

| Tone_Float | thank you for the help | 07:00 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: not sure what service its using, but it says login failed and i type the right l:p for sure | 07:02 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: after that i get a mail from gmail that it blocked a login | 07:02 |
| histo | lotuspsychje: under gmail settings you have to allow whatever service it's trying like pop3 or imap | 07:02 |

| lotuspsychje | histo: ah i found it mate, the link from gmail asks to block or enable apps | 07:04 |
| histo | lotuspsychje: there ya go | 07:04 |
| lotuspsychje | histo: so i unblocked apps, and bingo tnx! | 07:05 |
| histo | Tone_Float: sorry I'm tired. if you mount the partition or an image if it, the under lying file system should stoll present itself like a block device and you could recover files like normal. | 07:10 |
| === Evanion[AFK] is now known as Evanion | ||
| Tone_Float | And I have done that before, histo, but that was when it was a encrypted full partition. Now it's just files in ~/.ecryptfs and idk it'll get the same options | 07:19 |
| Tone_Float | I'm not too worried about it | 07:19 |
| Dark-Bot | Hello, I installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the intention of dual boot with Windows 7, however it boots directly into Ubuntu with no menu, how can I fix this? | 07:25 |
| EriC^^ | Dark-Bot: you can create an entry for windows in grub | 07:25 |
| Dark-Bot | The partition and installation were done correctly | 07:25 |
| EriC^^ | try sudo update-grub | 07:26 |
| Dark-Bot | Ok sweet thank you | 07:26 |
| EriC^^ | if it doesn't work, you can create the entry manually | 07:27 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 07:27 |
| Dark-Bot | It looks like it found a few things .. linux image, initrd image, linux image, initrd image, memtest86+, memtest86+, windows 7 | 07:27 |
| EriC^^ | ok, great | 07:28 |
| Dark-Bot | thank you eric | 07:28 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 07:28 |
| boodllebat | i wanna grep for two pattern like grep "phrase1" && "phrase2" myfile | 07:32 |
| EriC^^ | boodllebat: grep "phrase1\|phrase2" /myfile | 07:32 |
| EriC^^ | that's an or though | 07:33 |
| histo | EriC^^: -e ? | 07:33 |
| EriC^^ | histo: it works without -e | 07:34 |
| boodllebat | EriC^^: i want it like that only show which have both phrase1 and phrase2 | 07:34 |
| histo | EriC^^: he wants multiple patterns right? | 07:34 |
| EriC^^ | boodllebat: then grep "phrase1.*phrase" /myfile | 07:34 |
| EriC^^ | but that means phrase1 comes before phrase2 in the sentence | 07:34 |
| EriC^^ | histo: he wants if both are in the file | 07:35 |
| histo | boodllebat: grep -e pattenr1 -e pattern2 | 07:35 |
| EriC^^ | histo: not sure that's it, he wants if both are there | 07:36 |
| EriC^^ | does that work? | 07:36 |
| boodllebat | EriC^^: yeah worked | 07:36 |
| EriC^^ | ok, cool | 07:36 |

| polyhydra_ | shoot | 07:50 |
| nvk | I have downloaded a .deb file that has its data compressed with xz, how do I change the compression? | 07:50 |
| OerHeks | nvk, see man xz # -0 ... -9 Select a compression preset level. The default is -6. | 07:53 |
| histo | nvk: why? | 07:54 |
| nvk | histo: actually I'm trying to install a deb file in an old distro, and i'm getting this error " contains ununderstood data member data.tar.xz/ , giving up" | 07:55 |
| nvk | I read that changing the compression might do the trick, but haven't found how | 07:55 |
| OerHeks | nvk, you better check the md5sum, if provided | 07:56 |
| OerHeks | and a corrupt xz container, what would you change to fix ? | 07:56 |
| nvk | OerHeks: is it that the package is corrupted? | 07:57 |
| OerHeks | It is not saying all oke, is it? | 07:58 |
| OerHeks | !md5sum | 07:59 |

| grunhart | yo | 08:23 |
| the-erm | Does anyone know how to get gstreamer to play flv files that are h264? I've installed every good, bad & ugly plugin I can find yet to no avail. | 08:24 |
| the-erm | Yet it still keeps reporting missing plugin. | 08:24 |
| grunhart | I just use VLC for everything, never had problem with it... | 08:25 |
| the-erm | Well the problem is I've been developing a media player for years now. | 08:25 |
| the-erm | Which is based on gstreamer. | 08:25 |
| the-erm | It's weird because mplayer works fine. Yet there are no gstreamer1.0-ffmpeg plugins. | 08:26 |
| histo | the-erm: do you ahve ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 08:28 |
| the-erm | Let me check | 08:28 |
| the-erm | http://pastebin.ca/3029925 | 08:29 |
| the-erm | I have restricted, but not restricted-extras listed. | 08:29 |
| the-erm | I see what you're saying sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 08:30 |
| the-erm | Apparently I was missing something in that package. | 08:30 |
| the-erm | Thanks. | 08:30 |
| the-erm | Let's see if that works. | 08:30 |
| the-erm | on_sync_message: missing-plugin | 08:31 |
| the-erm | MISSING PLUGGIN | 08:31 |
| the-erm | Nope alas that doesn't work either. | 08:31 |
| the-erm | hmm. | 08:31 |
| histo | the-erm: should be in the good plugins | 08:32 |
| histo | weird | 08:32 |
| the-erm | Ya. | 08:32 |
| the-erm | In the past I've installed every gstreamer pluginn and it just sorta worked. | 08:33 |
| histo | the-erm: double check that gstreamer0.10-plugins-good is installed | 08:35 |
| the-erm | sure | 08:35 |
| the-erm | Yup it's installed | 08:35 |
| the-erm | Do you want me to paste it :) | 08:36 |
| the-erm | http://pastebin.ca/3029928 | 08:36 |
| the-erm | Perhaps I'm using the wrong playbin ... I don't know. It's odd. | 08:37 |
| the-erm | I'll check in #gstreamer and see if there is any advice there. | 08:37 |

| farooq | hi | 09:22 |
| farooq | I am using ubuntu 14.04 | 09:22 |
| farooq | i face a problem whenever ethernet wire is unpluged system not connected to the internet after reconnecting. The only solution works is system restart. Can anyone has any idea? | 09:24 |
| farooq | Please help | 09:24 |
| blz | Hello, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the options out there for backing up my (headless) server OS and I could really use some advice/recommendations. My requirements are as follows: (1) I must be able to restore the entire system state (2) backup must run without any server downtime (3) delta backups strongly preferred (4) archive compression and encryption is strongly preferred | 09:26 |
| histo | !backup This page has a few options | blz | 09:28 |
| ubottu | histo: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:28 |
| t0by | blz, I don't know but that's kind of what most backup technologies provide, in general. Even tape can be used for incremental backups, consider http://surf.ml.seikei.ac.jp/~nakano/dump-restore/dump-restore-mini-HOWTO.en.html#ss1.1 | 09:28 |
| histo | !backup | blz This page has a few options | 09:28 |
| ubottu | blz This page has a few options: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 09:28 |
| blz | histo, hmm I like the first page. Thanks | 09:29 |
| histo | farooq: how are you configuring your network? | 09:29 |
| histo | blz: I believe there is a table on that page that breaks them all down | 09:29 |
| t0by | blz, for non-gigantic data sets I am partial to tape or other removable media. The medium itself is inexpensive and you can have multiple backups on multiple different medias in different places, if you rely on RAID o ah hard disk with a z-backup you have a single point of failure. | 09:30 |
| farooq | using dhcp | 09:30 |
| histo | farooq: using the network manager or are you editing the /etc/network/interfaces by hand? | 09:30 |
| blz | t0by, the issue here has more to do with software than media. This is a home server so it's not, strictly-speaking, critical infrastructure | 09:30 |
| blz | t0by, it's just that I have a working setup and it would be a pain to redo :) | 09:30 |
| blz | So I'd rather not go out and buy a tape deck | 09:31 |
| t0by | blz,well, those are very cheap on the Evil Bay these days. Just saying :) | 09:31 |
| wasp__ | blz, there are loads of options, Cloudberry & Bacula are 2 options we use at work. Both are pretty decent, I use Tarsnap for my private servers. | 09:31 |
| blz | Really I just have one 16 GB SSD that hosts the OS files and I'd ideally like to take a snapshot at a given point in time without having to dismount anything | 09:31 |
| blz | wasp__, I like the sound of tarsnap | 09:32 |
| wasp__ | It's both decent & cheap | 09:32 |
| blz | oh but this is cloud storage :/ I was just hoping to store everything on a server at work | 09:33 |
| wasp__ | Bacula then :) | 09:33 |
| blz | alright, I'll give it a whirl :) | 09:34 |
| wasp__ | We use it to back up file servers, databases, web servers etc all seems to take it in it's stride | 09:34 |
| stemid | it takes a little work but I made my own backup system using rsnapshot and attic. it gives me a better dedup ratio than symantec netbackup. | 09:34 |
| farooq | I got this error after two to three minutes"could not connect dbus" | 09:35 |
| k1l_ | farooq: what ubuntu exactly? what desktop? what errormessage (pastebin)? from what program? | 09:39 |
| farooq | I have not configured using gui on from file that is /etc/network/interfaces | 09:40 |

| farooq | @ kll_ I am using ubuntu 14.04 with gnome desktop | 09:44 |
| k1l_ | farooq: and you are using the networkmanager? | 09:45 |
| farooq | Issue is whenever ethernet unpluged it is not connected after plub in. Internet is working after restart | 09:45 |
| farooq | yes | 09:46 |
| k1l_ | farooq: yes, because if you dont use the networkmanager you need to do that manually. use ifup and ifdown. | 09:46 |
| k1l_ | you choose to not use the service, so you need to do it manually | 09:46 |

| hateball | Rush2112: well that line is missing a " at the end. and I dont understand why you're using su at all | 13:44 |
| hateball | the string for tar itself is missing an ' also | 13:44 |
| zacktu | libgtk2.0-0 is already installed. Could it be another package? | 13:45 |
| Rush2112 | well, its because when i try to just extract the tar.gz normally (i.e. without any terminal stuff) it gives me an error and tells me something was truncated | 13:45 |

| hateball | HoloPed: I mean "parted -l" | 13:52 |
| hateball | Rush2112: "tar xvzf file.tar.gz -C ~/Whatever" should be sufficient so long as your permissions are correct | 13:53 |

| jhutchins | heeen: Do you have an encrypted disk? | 16:10 |
| Beetlejuice | do you have use aptitude for remove? | 16:10 |
| Pici | Beetlejuice: for removing packages? You can use aptitude, or apt-get, or whatever gui package managers you prefer. | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | ernalve: It's possible that you manged to set or create files owned by root in your home directory. | 16:11 |
| Beetlejuice | ernalve: log on tty1 with your user pass ( control + alt + f3 ) and log and: passwd | 16:11 |
| jhutchins | ernalve: Can you log in on the console? | 16:11 |
| Beetlejuice | Pici i know yeah yeah | 16:11 |
| Beetlejuice | i removed kde, and unity, for xfce, so i meant i used aptitude | 16:12 |
| ernalve | I removed Unity on the terminal, pasting code I found on the web. I think it was trough apt-get | 16:12 |
| Beetlejuice | ernalve: its odd you cant log or you log but get "kicked"? | 16:12 |
| ernalve | I can't log | 16:13 |
| Beetlejuice | if you cant log due the password reboot in safe mode and change the user pass | 16:13 |
| Beetlejuice | i have a problem with lightdm, it shows the mouse when i boot but no X. i need to killall lightdm and log with X | 16:13 |
| xangua | ernalve: what code? what web? the MATE wiki has specific instructions, you don't need to follow a random site instructions | 16:14 |
| Beetlejuice | well thats not critical | 16:14 |
| ernalve | I tried safe mode -or a similar option that I found on the grub- but it still asks for password | 16:14 |
| Beetlejuice | at some point the screen was white so i backup xorg.conf .. long history | 16:14 |
| Beetlejuice | ernalve: if you dont have the root password i meant ... i have no possible solution idea so reinstall | 16:15 |
| Beetlejuice | try to lon on tty | 16:15 |
| Beetlejuice | log* | 16:15 |
| Beetlejuice | its a good idea every time you install make a : sudo passwd | 16:16 |
| ernalve | ok, I know the root password but it just won't work for login on the gui desktop. What is tty? | 16:17 |
| Beetlejuice | press Alt+Control+F1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 | 16:17 |
| Beetlejuice | thats tty1,2,3,,6,7,8,9 ^ | 16:17 |
| jhutchins | Usually there are only 6 VTs. | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | oki doki | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | yes jhutchins | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | for example my f8 anf f9 doesnt work | 16:18 |
| jhutchins | X usually takes No. 7. | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | or 1 | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | or 9... | 16:18 |
| Beetlejuice | but yes on linux usually 7 | 16:19 |
| Beetlejuice | freebsd takes 8 or 9 i dont remember | 16:19 |
| Beetlejuice | well thats random i suppose it varies depending your vga | 16:19 |
| ernalve | do I need to press all this keys at the same time? on a terminal? what should I do after this? | 16:20 |
| Beetlejuice | at the same time alt + control + 1 (to) 7 | 16:20 |

| Beetlejuice | but make sure lightdm or whatever login manager you are using, its rejecting you due the password | 16:22 |
| Beetlejuice | if is not rejecting your user for the password all we are doing is useless | 16:22 |
| Beetlejuice | you should consider creating another user | 16:24 |
| Beetlejuice | see man adduser ; or man useradd | 16:24 |
| gambl0re | are you supposed to install npm and nodejs as regular user or as root? | 16:28 |
| gambl0re | i dont understand.. | 16:29 |
| ernalve | ok, I will go back to linux -I'm using windows from my dual boot right now- and I'll tell you how it goes. thanks | 16:30 |
| petrvs | gambl0re: I wouldn't install either | 16:33 |

| vbgunz | I have a weird problem. I have to boot up twice *TWICE* in order to boot up once successfully. The first time, it's a black screen that never changes. I ctrl+alt+del and reboot, go through the grub menu, hit enter and it boots up successfully. This happens every time, what the hell is happening? | 16:34 |

| fulanito | I enabled ufw without ssh rule | 17:28 |
| fulanito | so I dont have access to the instance | 17:28 |
| fulanito | I detached the volume and attached to another instance | 17:28 |

| JohnDoe1972 | im a beginner like you ! | 17:28 |
| petrvs | IntranetSupportR: if I were you I'd convert the system to be raidless | 17:29 |
| fulanito | any one? | 17:29 |

| fulanito | petrus, who can help me? I need to edit ufw rules manuelly either to desable it or to add ssh rule | 17:30 |

| fulanito | I have already attached the volume to another instance | 17:30 |
| fulanito | but I dont know what files I need to edit to disabel or add ssh rule | 17:30 |
| fulanito | petrus, do you know the answer? | 17:31 |
| IntranetSupportR | petrvs: I'm looking for a way to make it boot normally again...though If I can't do it...I will reinstall and reintegrate all services and web content on a new instance...but that's kinda time consuming | 17:31 |
| conorMcGregor9 | fulanito, what is the ufw running on? | 17:31 |
| fulanito | what do you mean? the disto is ubuntu 14.04 | 17:32 |
| IntranetSupportR | petrvs: would fsck repair anything if the issue is generated by the failed RAID ? | 17:32 |
| conorMcGregor9 | can u physically access the machine? | 17:32 |
| conorMcGregor9 | and disable the ufw? | 17:32 |
| fulanito | nope, it is a virtual instance | 17:32 |
| fulanito | so I move the volume to another one and attached it | 17:32 |
| IntranetSupportR | petrvs: thing is the VM is simple lvm...no raid...the raid si hardware based and VMWare ESXi between hardware and VM...so | 17:33 |

| IntranetSupportR | TJ: I agree...is not my server...I just have the honor to repair it :) | 17:35 |
| fulanito | nope; because I have stuff in ther I need | 17:35 |
| fulanito | to be running | 17:35 |
| fulanito | I mean this instance has a lot of configuraton | 17:35 |
| TJ- | IntranetSupportR: I sympathise! It sounds like at least one of the VMs has been corrupted. Is the array still rebuilding? | 17:36 |
| tomorrow | Excuse me. In konsole terminal, C-return C-. C-; C-= didn't work, have a good solution? Someone help me, thks. | 17:36 |
| armguy | Is there a way to prevent a route defined in transport to not fall back to other gateways if the route in transport has an outage? I am running 12.04.* | 17:37 |

| armguy | maybe asking about cntrl + c ? | 17:38 |
| conorMcGregor9 | yeah | 17:38 |
| conorMcGregor9 | but if hes pressing c + return in the console... | 17:38 |
| IntranetSupportR | TJ: thing is I removed the bad disk but I don't have a good one to replace now... so is running in two disks with array in status degraded... in theory I should be fine right ? I mean...ESXi is running ok...the VM tries to boot but it hangs with kernel panic...what I don't understand...what is the reason...did the Ubuntu got a crash right when that disk member failed or this is a permanent error until the moment the RAID will be back in normal m | 17:39 |
| tomorrow | In terminal, emacs's keybinding. | 17:40 |
| IntranetSupportR | TJ: right now I'm copying the VM files and transfer them to another healthy ESXi server... I'll import the vmx file and start the VM ... see what happens | 17:40 |
| TJ- | IntranetSupportR: In theory the array should operate in degraded mode, but this is one of the issues with RAID5... there are so many complex variations that can cause failures. At the least the parity is incorrect. At worst the data is. | 17:41 |
| lisbeth | On ubuntu server 14.04 64 bit i don't have an /etc/shells directory and I am not sure why | 17:41 |
| tomorrow | :( | 17:42 |
| IntranetSupportR | TJ: thing is even if I can't manage to start the VM...I have access to data...my fear now is when I'll try to copy the data from a live cd to a ssh / ftp destination.... if it fails to read .... damn | 17:43 |
| IntranetSupportR | TJ: from your experience ... when Ubuntu is virtualized...I guess there's less to troubleshoot than if Ubuntu would run on physical server ? | 17:44 |
| petrvs | there's less (virtual) hardware you could be using, so sure | 17:45 |
| IntranetSupportR | Ok guys... thanx for your time and thoughts...I appreaciate...have a great day all ! | 17:46 |

| ImJune | was fine before | 17:55 |
| xangua | !latest | notpratheek | 17:55 |
| ubottu | notpratheek: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 17:55 |
| armguy | see if there is a ppa maybe? Ubuntu is not the best OS for staying in line with upstream releases | 17:56 |
| ImJune | even can't find the proper packages when I run apt-get | 17:56 |
| armguy | stability != older packages | 17:56 |
| armguy | Ubuntu's "stability" is in their locking of packages, and "stability" is really relative and is by no mean more so through a locked lts setup that only gets specific updates for specific reasons. | 17:57 |

| Pici | /70/70 | 18:25 |
| Beetlejuice | i installed 15.04 succesfully with a tcl bot which works | 18:25 |
| Beetlejuice | usually he doesnt work | 18:26 |
| Beetlejuice | is for make server ops etc for ircd | 18:26 |
| Beetlejuice | glines etc | 18:26 |
| Pici | Is there a support question you had? | 18:26 |
| Beetlejuice | i ran a old ircu local with a znc, the bot, etc | 18:27 |
| Beetlejuice | no Pici sorry | 18:27 |
| Pici | Beetlejuice: #ubuntu-offtopic exists if you just want to chat, there are a bunch of us there. | 18:27 |
| Beetlejuice | i dont understand why that bot works on my setup and not on normal ubuntu | 18:27 |

| lisbeth | What is it called when you send data requests to a server in the url, and then the server outputs the answers back in the page content? | 18:36 |
| jhutchins | lisbeth: An API? | 18:37 |
| lisbeth | jhutchins: Maybe. I'll ask again if it turns out that's not what it is. | 18:38 |
| gambl0re | i f*cking hate linux... | 18:39 |
| jpds | gambl0re: Noone's forcing you to use it. | 18:39 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: why? | 18:39 |
| gambl0re | i spend more time troubleshooting problems then doing actual work.. | 18:39 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: how long have you been using linux. After you get used to it becomes easy | 18:40 |
| gambl0re | im now reinstalling ubuntu for the like the 3rd time now cause something got screwed up.. | 18:40 |
| jpds | gambl0re: What are you trying to do? | 18:40 |
| flexus | hi. did something change in 3.19.0-21 lowlatency? i got a "usb 1-3-port4: Cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad?" on my snd_usb_audio | 18:40 |
| gambl0re | i was trying to install some packages using npm, as usual i was getting error messages | 18:41 |
| gambl0re | googled for like an hour | 18:41 |
| gambl0re | tried uninstall a couple other packages, as usual, getting errors. | 18:42 |
| gambl0re | google for another hour.. | 18:42 |
| gambl0re | fuck this | 18:42 |
| vbgunz | I have an nvidia card and noticed that on one boot, I boot up and my terminals are blank. completely blank, I didn't know this but cryptsetup was stopping me from booting up because it was asking for a password and I never saw the prompt. anyhow, the terminals remain dark even after logging in. How do I get my terminals back? | 18:42 |
| jpds | gambl0re: Stop wanting to use npm? | 18:42 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: The package manager for ubuntu is called APT, and is the main way you should be installing packages. What were you trying to install? | 18:43 |
| vbgunz | if I reboot, every other boot, the terminals work and I can see prompts, etc. it's the weirdest issue | 18:43 |
| gambl0re | it doesnt matter now...i already started the reinstalltion process.. | 18:43 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: If you let us talk you through your issues I can almost garuntee you we can teach you how to solve the problem on your own next time. Why don't you explain in detail the steps you were taking and where the problem has arisen? | 18:44 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: Some of us have been using linux for multiple years and are experts. | 18:45 |
| zykotick9 | vbgunz: the black VTs is common when you use nvidia.com's driver. Did you? | 18:45 |
| vbgunz | zykotick9: yeah, on 14.10 but no on 15.04 (used the provided driver) | 18:46 |
| gambl0re | i cant really explain to you the problem cause i dont really know. i was trying to install some web development packages (nodejs, ember) and they require npm | 18:46 |
| cheetahw26 | I want to continue to use network-manager, but I can't figure out how to connect to a wifi network with wpa2 via the command line... | 18:46 |
| gambl0re | and whenn i try installing using npm shit never works.. | 18:46 |
| genii | vbgunz: Sometimes it keeps toggling between Intel and Nvidia if you have one of those hybrid cards | 18:46 |
| vbgunz | it's the same issue though on 14.10 and 15.04. one boot, it's a black screen, the next boot I can see everything fine | 18:46 |
| jpds | gambl0re: There's a package for nodejs. | 18:47 |
| jpds | !info nodejs | gambl0re | 18:47 |
| vbgunz | hmm.. the intel onboard graphics is not plugged in. every display is plugged into the nvidia card | 18:47 |
| ubottu | gambl0re: nodejs (source: nodejs): evented I/O for V8 javascript. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.10.25~dfsg2-2ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 672 kB, installed size 3094 kB | 18:47 |
| gambl0re | i dont even know what you just said right here.. | 18:48 |
| jpds | gambl0re: sudo apt-get install nodejs | 18:48 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: Keep in mind some of the people on here are very smart but not very good at explaining things. | 18:48 |
| jpds | gambl0re: Installs nodejs from the official repos. | 18:48 |
| regedit | TJ-: heya | 18:49 |
| gambl0re | ok let me ask you guys this... | 18:49 |
| TJ- | regedit: Hey. How you progressing? | 18:49 |
| gambl0re | when i install ANYTHING using package manager, do i run using sudo or user? | 18:49 |
| jpds | gambl0re: sudo. | 18:49 |
| gambl0re | i keep getting conflicting answers... | 18:50 |
| lisbeth | jhutchins: I think an API is the solution I was looking for. | 18:50 |
| regedit | TJ-: not too well unfortunately; removing battery and using AC only didnt seem to help, how is that supposed to disarm intel rapid start anyway? | 18:50 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: to install anything on any linux system you need to be an administrator. In linux we call this a sudoer. | 18:50 |
| regedit | if that is the issue anyway | 18:50 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: to make any command a sudoer command, type sudo infront of it | 18:50 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: Example. "apt-get install firefox" becomes "sudo apt-get install firefox" | 18:51 |
| vbgunz | ok, tried something, gotta reboot to test | 18:51 |
| TJ- | regedit: Sometimes that will cause the settings to be cleared in laptops/notebooks. | 18:51 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: you also want to update before you install anything any time you install anything. The command for this is "sudo apt-get update" | 18:51 |
| gambl0re | if i install a package using sudo, does that mean only root has access to those files? | 18:51 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: No. The developer of the package determins who has access to it, unless you change it. Most software can be used by all users. | 18:52 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: however if you are moving around or editing files as sudo or root that will usually cause root to own it. | 18:53 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: Usually you only want to use sudo if you are required to. | 18:53 |
| TJ- | regedit: I'm a bit concerned that the fwts cannot read any variables. That suggests the firmware is customised to a degree where the OS cannot properly 'talk' to it, which might explain why a Windows Recovery can also cause this issue. From my research I believe its cause is that the free space in NVRAM isn't being garbage-collected which is causing weird knock-on effects since some variables cannot be altered. | 18:53 |
| regedit | TJ-: sounds like what that other guy was talking about in that lonely bios-mods forum thread | 18:54 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: the cool thing is there are these things called aliases which can make typing easier on you. You can take a long string like "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install" and make it a single word like "checkinstall." then all you have to type is, checkinstall <packagename> to install something. | 18:54 |
| Pici | lisbeth: well, checkinstall is already the name of another tool, so it would be weird to do that. | 18:55 |
| TJ- | regedit: I've finally managed to bisect the kernel to the commit that breaks it - the issue I've been working on since last Friday. At least 1 of us is making progress :) | 18:55 |
| regedit | TJ-: heh :) great success to you! | 18:56 |

| regedit | TJ-: this is about as close as i ever got to playing with linux kernel - http://eudyptula-challenge.org/ | 18:57 |

| qdii | hey | 19:01 |
| === Davi is now known as Guest66495 | ||
| lisbeth | gambl0re: taht's becuase linux is designed so that you can't install something without sudo. The purpose of this is that only the person who is the administrator of the computer can control what's installed. | 19:01 |
| qdii | why can't I escalate like this: "echo password | sudo -S su" | 19:01 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: It is perfectly ok to use sudo to install software. Just be careful when installing something from third parties. | 19:01 |
| rory | qdii: you can set it up so you can run "sudo su" without a password | 19:01 |
| rory | qdii: and then you wouldn't need to resort to such hackery | 19:01 |
| regedit | TJ-: cool wow, this is the story of the linux world innit | 19:01 |
| regedit | hah that's a good pun in(n)it | 19:02 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: everything in your repo should be safe to install. This is one of the benefits of a package management system. | 19:02 |
| qdii | rory my case is a bit complicated, I really need to feed the password | 19:02 |
| ernalve | hey, I get to terminal but can't login from there either | 19:03 |
| sha1sum | Can I just switch the data between the partitions, change /etc/fstab, and change the bootloader configuration? | 19:03 |
| ernalve | it just won't recognize my user as a valid one | 19:03 |
| qdii | it's a ssh connection established from a php script | 19:03 |
| maximus2 | where the heck is the chat room | 19:03 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: if you are looking for a way to install software that is a little easier than the command line, but a bit better than the ubuntu software center, try using synaptic. | 19:03 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: synaptic is a very good software manager that will take care of alot of the compilcated things for you | 19:03 |
| rory | qdii: look into "expect" - I don't know it in enough detail to help you directly, but it's a way of scriping the input of text into other programs | 19:03 |
| leshaste | I would like to stitch two scanned images together which have a large overlap.. is there a tool for this? | 19:05 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: are you sure your username and password are correct? | 19:05 |
| === kpease is now known as kpease_ | ||
| === kpease_ is now known as kpease | ||
| ernalve | lisbeth: I think so. I'm writing my password as always, no caps lock or mistakes, and the username is the one that shows up on my login screen... | 19:07 |
| jhutchins | leshaste: You could do it with The Gimp. | 19:07 |
| pbx | leshaste, you mean to find the overlap programmatically? | 19:07 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: could you show me a picture of your screen? | 19:07 |
| iceroot | if have a mount point in /etc/fstab, as it seems since ubuntu 15.04 /etc/fstab is not used automaticly anymore? on older ubuntu version and debian the /etc/fstab mountpoint is still working, of 15.04 i have to execute sudo mount -a to get all my points from that file. so were there any changes? | 19:08 |
| ernalve | lisbeth: i'm using windows now from my dual boot, because linux won't login | 19:08 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: do you have a picture phone? | 19:08 |
| iceroot | qdii: dont use expect for ssh, its to buggy, there is only one correct way and that is "pubkey". everything else is wrong, insecure and buggy | 19:09 |
| ernalve | lisbeth, not actually | 19:09 |
| ernalve | no phone | 19:09 |
| ernalve | but I can try any suggestions and report back | 19:09 |
| iceroot | qdii: and also sudo su is very wrong, use sudo -i instead and never ever use something like "echo password". its stored in your bash history and maybe also in log files | 19:10 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: well you are going to want to try a process called recovery | 19:10 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: if your user and password isn't working there's a few ways to do this | 19:10 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: one is to try to save your install, and this is by far the hardest option. | 19:10 |
| === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho | ||
| lisbeth | ernalve: if all you want is the files in your documents and pictures etcetera, then you can just copy them over and then reinstall your ubuntu system | 19:11 |
| gambl0re | i still dont get it...whats the difference if i use sudo or not when installing something? | 19:11 |
| ernalve | lisbeth: that's ok | 19:11 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: if you type sudo it makes the command you are running an admin command | 19:11 |
| iceroot | gambl0re: sudo is used to ecexute something as root, if not using sudo, your current user is used | 19:11 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: if you don't type sudo it is not an admin comand | 19:11 |
| iceroot | !sudo | gambl0re | 19:11 |
| ubottu | gambl0re: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 19:11 |
| bekks | sudo elevates your privileges to run a command with root privileges. | 19:12 |
| iceroot | gambl0re: always use sudo, dont login as root directly | 19:12 |
| gambl0re | if im the only person using this computer then it doesnt really matter | 19:12 |
| iceroot | gambl0re: of course it does | 19:12 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: anything that coudl potentially mess up your system, they make you type sudo for two reasons. First of all so that only the administrators can do it. Second of all because they want you to understand that the operation comes with risk. | 19:12 |
| iceroot | gambl0re: you are executing EVERYTHING as root when you are logged in as root also in cases where root is not needed | 19:13 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: basically any time you use sudo just be careful | 19:13 |
| lisbeth | iceroot: puppy linux runs everything as root | 19:13 |
| iceroot | gambl0re: its much easier to kill a system if you are root all the time | 19:13 |
| iceroot | lisbeth: and? | 19:13 |
| iceroot | lisbeth: windows xp also runs everything as admin | 19:13 |

| ubottu | lisbeth: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:14 |
| ernalve | lisbeth: how can I recover my files? | 19:14 |
| lisbeth | ernalve: pop in your ubuntu disk and when you get to the option to "try ubuntu or install ubuntu" click "try ubuntu". It should give you access to all of your files. | 19:14 |
| bekks | iceroot: Windows XP doesnt run everything as admin. It is the user who logs in with the Administrator account. | 19:14 |
| iceroot | bekks: and the default user is an admin account | 19:15 |
| Bashing-om | ernalve: Loss of access is often times loos of authorizatio to acces "your" /home . ' ls -al /home ; ls -al /home/<Username> ' Do "you" own the files ? | 19:15 |
| lisbeth | SchrodingersScat: The chat isn't very active right now. I don't see the harm in going slightly off topic with this little traffic. | 19:15 |
| bekks | iceroot: And using the Administrator account for your daily work is strongly discouraged, as on every OS. So let's move on. | 19:16 |
| iceroot | bekks: but i think we both agree that it is bad to login as admin/root instead of a normal user and only get admin/root access if needed | 19:16 |

| Falcon | mherweg, i have tried that it did install then showed bootstrap error | 19:22 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: I am not blaming you | 19:22 |
| Falcon | n344ly, thanks | 19:22 |
| lisbeth | gambl0re: it's pretty common | 19:22 |
| n344ly | gambl0re: I'm not sure any of that is supported here realistically, just saying. | 19:22 |
| mherweg | !wubi | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. | 19:23 |
| jpds | gambl0re: If I were you, I would be doing this in a virtual machine. | 19:23 |

| JohnDoe1972 | guys why are there so many distros and what do they really offer thats different from each other ? | 19:25 |
| MonkeyDust | JohnDoe1972 that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:26 |
| JohnDoe1972 | jesus really | 19:26 |
| mherweg | never tried win8. with win7 dual boot works fine | 19:26 |
| JohnDoe1972 | couldnt you just answer the question | 19:26 |
| n344ly | mherweg: If you have W8 make sure you know if a UEFI setup or not, this is a crucial issue. | 19:27 |
| trijntje | JohnDoe1972: because different people like different things. Its like asking why there are so many different foods | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | JohnDoe1972 this is not the place for discussion, stick to support questions | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | or so many different carq | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | cars | 19:27 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ok i need some support | 19:27 |
| JohnDoe1972 | im going to install linux but im confused what distro to choose | 19:27 |
| JohnDoe1972 | what considerations should i have when choosing a distro | 19:28 |
| conorMcGregor9 | start with ubuntu | 19:28 |
| JohnDoe1972 | why ? | 19:28 |
| conorMcGregor9 | u can always install another should u not like it | 19:28 |
| n344ly | JohnDoe1972: You are missing the point this is ubuntu support on installs and problems only. | 19:28 |
| conorMcGregor9 | because its somewhere to start | 19:28 |
| lisbeth | JohnDoe1972: the most guides out there on the internet are for ubuntu 14.04 linux unity edition | 19:28 |
| lisbeth | JohnDoe1972: you will get the most support on that distro | 19:28 |
| trijntje | JohnDoe1972: its easiest to stick with the biggest ones (ubuntu and mint I think), that way there is a lot of support | 19:28 |
| Bashing-om | JohnDoe1972: ^^ ther is no one answer, the resonses can be many . Linux, no one size fits all .. And yes the discussion belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic. Support for ubuntu does belong here . | 19:28 |
| conorMcGregor9 | i used debian for years and recently changed to ubuntu | 19:28 |
| MonkeyDust | JohnDoe1972 if you have to start somewhere, start with ubuntu | 19:28 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ok folks thanks for the positive support. | 19:29 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: when you ask in #ubuntu start with ubuntu :) for other comparisons ask in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:29 |
| conorMcGregor9 | and cant beleive how easier things were with ubuntu | 19:29 |
| conorMcGregor9 | it comes with 3.16 kernel, so i didnt have to backport a newer one | 19:29 |
| kostkon | JohnDoe1972, becuase you've alredy made the first step, joined its support channel | 19:29 |
| JohnDoe1972 | any links to guides for nobs | 19:29 |
| conorMcGregor9 | installing nvidia drivers was as simple as clicking a radio button... | 19:29 |
| k1l | conorMcGregor9: 15.04 even ships with 3.19 | 19:29 |
| p5yc071c | has anyone recently had an issue with the boot folder filling up with updates? | 19:30 |
| MonkeyDust | !manual | JohnDoe1972 start here | 19:30 |

| lisbeth | JohnDoe1972: I have plenty of time today. If you talk to me in PM I can guide you through everything you need to know. | 19:30 |
| trijntje | JohnDoe1972: ubuntu comes with good documentation by default, just search for 'help' in the menu after installing | 19:30 |
| JohnDoe1972 | thx ubottu | 19:30 |

| lisbeth | n344ly: is it acceptable to invite people to be social network contacts? | 19:31 |

| vooze | Hi, I cant seem to add the google chrome to the gnome shell launcher/dock. If i do, it just lanches another instance. What could be the cause of this? | 19:32 |

| HoloIRCUser | Bashing-om okay, I have a root shell. Now what? | 19:43 |
| conorMcGregor9 | now you have to say abra kadabra | 19:44 |
| Bashing-om | HoloIRCUser: We want to know that 1) "you" own your /home . in the terminal coomand ' ls -al /home ' You own the files and not 'root' ?? then we look at 2) . | 19:45 |

| treelzebub | ebernhar2son: i'd recommend installing Unity Tweak Tool. There's a Fonts tab, where you can Restore Defaults, or tweak as you like. to install: $ sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool | 19:46 |
| k1l | HoloIRCUser: does another user or the guest account work? | 19:47 |
| HoloIRCUser | k1l: guest account has the same problem | 19:48 |
| HoloIRCUser | K1l: ah, no, it seems guest account works fine | 19:49 |
| conorMcGregor9 | whats the problem? a black screen when u login your other account? | 19:49 |
| k1l | which desktop is it? and what ubuntu version exactly? | 19:49 |
| ebernhar2son | treelzebub: hmm, tried that but it didn't change the size of the fonts in titlebars, just inside that single application. i'll try logging out to see if a reset makes any difference though | 19:50 |
| HoloIRCUser | conorMcGregor9: keeps login background, never progresses | 19:50 |
| k1l | so i would start with looking in the homefolder like Bashing-om told you to rule out the easy solutions. | 19:50 |
| HoloIRCUser | k1l: the default wm with default de, release is 14.04LTE, kernel is 3.16.0-41-generic | 19:51 |
| ebernhar1son | treelzebub: perhaps i'm doing something wrong, i logged out and logged back in and text scaling factor is back to 2.45 | 19:51 |
| treelzebub | ebernhar2son: Sys Settings > Displays > "Scale for menu and title bars" | 19:51 |

| k1l | HoloIRCUser: "ls -al" so you see the owners. see if there is stuff that is owned by root | 19:54 |
| p5yc071c | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11732269/ | 19:54 |
| treelzebub | ebernhar1son: if tweak-tool and sys settings keep reverting when you logout/in, you can try this: $ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Interface.app-fallback-to-maximum-scale-factor false | 19:54 |
| regedit | Jordan_U: nothing particularly interesting. i got the initial (bios?) boot menu which still had the option to boot "ubuntu" (which usually brings me to grub), except now it just didnt find the boot drive and carried on trying other boot devices | 19:55 |
| treelzebub | ebernhar1son: shit, sorry-- this: $ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Interface app-fallback-to-maximum-scale-factor false | 19:55 |
| k1l | p5yc071c: you have a seperated /boot partition. so do a "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" please in a pastebin | 19:55 |
| Jordan_U | regedit: And when all boot devices failed? | 19:55 |
| MichaelP | Runing kubuntu 15.04 installing ubuntu-deskto-next https://bpaste.net/show/312ba2efb8e0 .. can i make it ignore the blue tooth ? | 19:55 |

| regedit | reboot loop if i remember correctly | 19:56 |
| HoloIRCUser | K1l: in root shell, it hasn't done the mount rebind yet. | 19:56 |
| regedit | i can verify if it's important | 19:56 |
| ebernhar1son | treelzebub: excellent. how do you find those values? is there some sort of browser for all the settings that can be searched through? | 19:56 |

| treelzebub | from ubuntu forums, i found some possible related bugs that led me to bugs.launchpad.net, and in the comments there was this solution. [src: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1310316] | 19:57 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 1310316 in Unity "Text scaling factor changing unexpectedly" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 19:57 |
| Jordan_U | regedit: What was your original end goal in getting to the boot firmware menus? I seem to remember something about booting an OS that was installed for BIOS rather than UEFI? | 19:57 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: and then? | 19:57 |
| k1l | p5yc071c: you see the packages you got installed. so do a "sudo apt-get remove linux-image........ linux-image...." to remove the kernels not needed. but keep at least 2 different kernels installed | 19:57 |
| regedit | regedit: if i'm not mistaken both Windows and Ubuntu are currently UEFI installations | 19:58 |
| regedit | er Jordan_U ^ | 19:58 |
| conorMcGregor9 | HoloIRCUser, i thought u said your shell was working | 19:58 |
| regedit | Jordan_U: my goal is to mess with bios settings, like virtualization or intel rapid start / rapid storage etc | 19:58 |
| histo | regedit: did fwsetup work? | 19:58 |
| k1l | HoloIRCUser: ok, so maybe you need to reset the gnome settings. | 19:58 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: I have a root shell through recovery, yes. I want my wm to work after I log in with my user | 19:58 |
| regedit | histo: sadly not... grub said command not found | 19:59 |
| p5yc071c | kll - so...it doesn't matter which two that I keep? | 19:59 |
| p5yc071c | kll - or a better question - where do I go to learn about how to make that decision? | 19:59 |
| histo | regedit: what's the problem your having now? still can't get to fimrware? | 19:59 |
| regedit | histo: yep, inaccessible | 19:59 |
| regedit | the setup that is | 20:00 |
| HoloIRCUser | k1l: so delete the gnome-related files? | 20:00 |
| histo | regedit: did you try booting with the drive unplugged? | 20:00 |
| k1l | p5yc071c: i would say the latest one and then choose one that you like. if all worked just go for the second latest one. the second latest installed kernel is used for the recovery boot option in grub | 20:00 |
| regedit | histo: yup, nothing interesting was discovered there | 20:00 |
| histo | regedit: you still couldn't fn+f2? | 20:00 |
| conorMcGregor9 | HoloIRCUser, do u have a lot of settings on your user? | 20:00 |
| Jordan_U | histo: No, fwsetup requires the ability to read and write to UEFI variables, and it looks like right now regedit's boot firmware is reporting that there are no UEFI variables at all whenever asked by an OS or bootloader (though clearly there is at least one, containing the boot entry for Ubuntu). | 20:00 |
| histo | regedit: and what do you mean by nothing interesting? | 20:00 |
| regedit | histo: correct, i couldnt.. | 20:00 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: no | 20:00 |
| conorMcGregor9 | and the guest account works? | 20:00 |
| HoloIRCUser | Yes | 20:01 |
| conorMcGregor9 | just make a new account then and copy your files over | 20:01 |
| regedit | histo: system simply fails to find boot device, and power cycles | 20:01 |

| tgm4883 | HoloIRCUser: you probably need to remount / rw | 20:02 |
| histo | regedit: you're kernel is booted in efi mode this is so odd. So the firmware update that fixes the issue is still a no go? | 20:02 |
| histo | brb | 20:02 |
| regedit | histo: the installer fails... | 20:02 |
| HoloIRCUser | tgm4883: yep, thanks | 20:03 |
| Jordan_U | regedit: When you tried to upgrade the boot firmware, was that via a program that did the flashing from the OS, or was it something that put the new boot firmware image in the EFI System Partition for the boot firmware to flash itself at next boot? (Or do you not know?) | 20:03 |
| regedit | Jordan_U: some of the guides/tutorials were more this way, some were more that way | 20:04 |
| regedit | i tried several of them in various combinations | 20:04 |
| regedit | no wait, actually | 20:05 |
| regedit | the guides were mostly USB stick based | 20:05 |
| regedit | only the lenovo supplied update seemed to be trying to do it by direct flashing the boot firmware | 20:05 |

| tgm4883 | tersio: that isn't what wine is | 20:11 |
| lotuspsychje | tersio: you want a virtual machine windows? | 20:12 |
| conorMcGregor9 | its for running windows applications | 20:12 |
| harishkrupo | tersio, for that you need to install windows | 20:12 |
| tersio | I see | 20:12 |
| conorMcGregor9 | dont know why that bot is even in here | 20:12 |
| tersio | because here it points to some windows style directories | 20:12 |

| tgm4883 | tersio: yes, and? | 20:12 |
| lotuspsychje | conorMcGregor9: what do you mean? | 20:12 |
| tersio | if I'm just executing a windows program through wine I won't have any of those dirs | 20:13 |
| conorMcGregor9 | lotuspsychje, the ubottu bot that no one seems to read lol | 20:13 |
| lotuspsychje | conorMcGregor9: yeah its described fine indeed | 20:13 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: when you installed wine, it also installed a windows explorer that would let you see a windows file structure | 20:13 |
| GitNick | Ok, so I tried to install something using apt-get, but then ran out of space, now I'm stuck, I can't continue. How can I undo this? | 20:14 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: yes you would see that file structure if you were executing a windows program | 20:14 |
| lotuspsychje | tersio: maybe you can explain what you really want to do? wich windows program do you need? | 20:14 |
| tersio | how do I access that windows explorer? | 20:14 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, remove that application | 20:14 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: did you search unity for windows explorer? | 20:14 |
| sha1sum | I'm trying to wade through old and seemingly irrelevant search results... How do I simply switch the partition to boot from? I have all files copied and have changed the fstab, now not sure about the next step to get THAT parition to be the root partition | 20:15 |

| harishkrupo | GitNick, what about apt-get remove <package> | 20:16 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: I'm basically trying to switch two mountpoints that I accidentally reversed on installation: "/" and "/home"... I just simply rsync'd all files to both until I get the boot partition switched, so yeah they're both currently mounted but reversed | 20:16 |
| GitNick | harishkrupo: nope | 20:17 |
| tersio | oh you mean the ubuntu desktop? not sure, thought it was gnome? I'm on 14.04 default | 20:17 |
| sha1sum | (one is an SSD and one is a disk, so I obviously want the SSD as the root but didn't configure it that way) | 20:17 |
| conorMcGregor9 | so unity | 20:17 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, apt-get remove --purge <package> | 20:17 |
| tersio | yes I have the ubuntu file explorer but not a windows one | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: ok, did you bother searching for windows explorer or wine? | 20:18 |
| KowabungaDude^ | Hello again | 20:18 |
| GitNick | harishkrupo: All commands result in "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)." | 20:18 |

| HoloIRCUser | After creating a new user and copying all files over, I'm no longer able to log in to my secondary user - I'm simply kicked back to login. This is an improvement - but how do I log in? | 20:18 |
| harishkrupo | acz32, no he is out of space | 20:18 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: so basically if I knew how to just tell the bootloader what the root partition was then I think I'd be fine because it's still using the disk as root instead of the SSD | 20:19 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: Have you done a lot since installing? If not, then the simplest and most reliable method would be to just re-install properly. | 20:19 |
| acz32 | harishkrupo: that doesn't matter. it's telling him what to do | 20:19 |
| conorMcGregor9 | HoloIRCUser, did it work before u copied your files over? | 20:19 |
| tersio | I have configure wine, uninstall wine, winetricks | 20:19 |
| harishkrupo | acz32, if he uses the command it will try to install but no space | 20:19 |
| HoloIRCUser | Sha1sum: grub2 menu.lst contains the grub instructions | 20:19 |
| GitNick | acz32: And what it tells me to do doesn't work (because I have no more space) | 20:19 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: yes | 20:19 |
| conorMcGregor9 | must be some of the files in your home directory | 20:20 |
| acz32 | GitNick: try creating enough free space to run the apt-get install -f | 20:20 |
| acz32 | that should fix it | 20:20 |
| GitNick | acz32: (To answer your other question: No my sight is fine) | 20:20 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: Basically you want to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot , but having your new root currently mounted as /home/ is a little awkward, and again a re-install would be more reliable and simpler. | 20:20 |
| conorMcGregor9 | how did u copy them over? a cp -r? | 20:20 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: can you run 'winefile' from the command line? | 20:20 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: mount -o bind | 20:20 |
| GitNick | acz32: Tried that, cant | 20:20 |
| acz32 | acz32: or do sudo apt-get autoclean | 20:20 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, what is the output of df | 20:20 |
| tersio | tgm4883: yep, opened something | 20:20 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: a file explorer? | 20:21 |
| tersio | yes, there I see a c: | 20:21 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: I didn't change the boot parition's location because it was already right, so I'm wondering if I simply edit stuff under /etc/grub.d/ and see if I can switch the root partition and it doesn't work then I guess re-installationn is the fallback... ? | 20:21 |
| HoloIRCUser | Conormcgregor9: if it were really a file, wouldn't these behave identically? | 20:21 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: (and run update-grub obviously) | 20:21 |
| GitNick | harishkrupo: https://gist.github.com/NickClark/1aa355aec9f96d4fbb09 | 20:22 |
| conorMcGregor9 | well if it worked before u copied any files over | 20:22 |
| conorMcGregor9 | it must be a file | 20:22 |
| HoloIRCUser | sha1sum: changes need to written to mbr or uefi, run grub-install | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | tersio: ok, so you should be able to follow that post now | 20:22 |
| harishkrupo | sha1sum, how did you even boot if the disk is mounted as / ? | 20:22 |
| sha1sum | HoloIRCUser: isn't that old though? Also menu.lst is grub not grub2 | 20:22 |
| tersio | tgm4883: ok thanks | 20:22 |
| HoloIRCUser | conormcgregor9: but there's also something else, because two users with identical home directories have different behavior | 20:22 |
| lotuspsychje | tersio: i think you best convert the wrf file into .mp4 with a converter, then play with vlc | 20:23 |
| HoloIRCUser | sha1sum: system still boots using grub | 20:23 |
| sha1sum | harishkrupo: all the files are present on both the drives (I just copied all files from each to the other) until I get it working... Then I edited the fstab on what *should be* the root | 20:23 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, do apt-get autoclean | 20:23 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: Do *not* edit anything in /etc/grub.d/. | 20:23 |
| harishkrupo | sha1sum, then edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 20:23 |
| conorMcGregor9 | what files are u copying, your own personal files? | 20:24 |
| conorMcGregor9 | or hidden files in your home directory? | 20:24 |
| harishkrupo | sha1sum, point it to the right partition and then boot | 20:24 |
| harishkrupo | sha1sum after booting remove the boot directory from you home and run grub-install and update-grub2 | 20:25 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, it will clean some of the cached packages | 20:25 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: The guide that I linked you to will have you run update-grub within a chroot that's using your new root filesystem, so it will create a grub.cfg appropriate for your new configuration. You could also manually edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg once, then reboot and run "sudo update-grub" again once you're booted into the new configuration. | 20:25 |
| sha1sum | OK I appreciate everyone's help, I'm going to give this a try | 20:26 |
| TJ- | sha1sum: GRUB determines the root device based on the entries in '/etc/fstab' and specifically the UUID of the file-system. If you effectively swapped the file contents in those partitions then right now it sounds like your root partition in fstab points to the partition containing /home. If that is in fact the case simply swap the UUIDs around for those entries in fstab | 20:26 |
| === kpease is now known as kpease_ | ||
| GitNick | harishkrupo: Nothing. But I found a workaround (hopefully I didn't break something else) This whole problem was caused by an out of control devicemapper image. Finally figured out a way to clean it up. | 20:28 |
| harishkrupo | TJ-, grub does not determine the root device from fstab at boot it is passed as a parameter from grub.cfg | 20:28 |
| edoceo | I'm getting some dependency loop: policykit-1 depends on libpam-systemd; however: Package libpam-systemd:amd64 is not configured yet. | 20:28 |
| harishkrupo | GitNick, great :) | 20:29 |
| edoceo | I canno seem to apt-get install anything else now from these dependency problems, not sure how to resolve | 20:29 |
| sha1sum | TJ-: so right now /home/username/etc/fstab contains the *proper* configuration and /etc/fstab is the old configuration | 20:29 |
| TJ- | harishkrupo: You misunderstand. 'update-grub' reads fstab and writes the UUID of the root file-system into the entries in grub.cfg | 20:29 |
| sha1sum | Should I just replace any instance of the old UUID with the new one in grub.cfg? | 20:29 |
| regedit | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11732478/ | 20:30 |
| harishkrupo | TJ-, ok got it :P | 20:30 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: No, grub-mkconfig uses grub-probe to determine the UUID of the filesystem currently mounted as '/', it doesn't read the /etc/fstab. | 20:30 |
| sha1sum | TJ-: or sorry, /home/etc/fstab | 20:30 |
| ste_ | hello - would anyone be able to help me with an issue I'm having when vsync'd games are running in a window and alt-tabbing in this situation is causing a 2-3 second delay before switching?

| lotuspsychje | ste_: ubuntu version and graphics card chipset? | 20:31 |
| locksmith2 | hiiiii | 20:31 |
| ste_ | ubuntu 15.04 and graphics card is gtx 770.. I have the recommended priopietary drivers installed but it happens on other drivers too | 20:31 |
| sha1sum | actually I'm going to run the chroot route I think, this grub.cfg file is scary lol | 20:32 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: That would probably do it. Of course you should make a backup copy of the grub.cfg first, and once you are booted in the configuration you want re-run "sudo update-grub" to make sure that you have a proper grub.cfg, rather than just one that happened to work once. | 20:32 |
| lotuspsychje | ste_: did you have same issue on 14.04? | 20:32 |
| harishkrupo | sha1sum no just go to the line which starts with linux and then paste the correct uuid | 20:32 |
| ste_ | I couldn't say.. but I don't have this issue in linux mint | 20:33 |
| histo | regedit: I'm out of ideas to try. Other than verifying the downloaded firmware update is correct | 20:34 |
| sha1sum | Jordan_U: well I also noticed that along with the UUID references there are drive and partition number indicators so I don't really want to mess around with all that because they're separate physical devices. | 20:34 |
| TJ- | sha1sum: As long as you can perform 1 successful *Recovery mode* boot (to root shell) by manually editing the "linux ..." root device entry from the grub boot-time editor to specify the correct root file-system you will then be able to correct the entries in fstab and use update-grub to fix the boot entries for subsequent boots | 20:34 |
| Jordan_U | sha1sum: Those are only used as hints to make searching faster, grub never depends on them and so their values aren't important. (At worst, boot will be ever so slightly slower). | 20:35 |
| regedit | histo: well it seems so http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-u-series-laptops/ideapad-u410/downloads/DS033646 | 20:35 |

| charlytavu | Jordan_U, histo I'm just trying to execute a script at boot time without rebuilding the iso :) | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | regedit: Then that sounds like it's at leat possible that installing Ubuntu triggered the bug in your firmware. | 20:43 |
| regedit | i probably should have mentioned this earlier; in the list of devices to boot from (upon power on boot menu) the top one is simply "ubuntu". further down the list is the actual drive that has the 2 OSs, and if boot to it i get straight windows (not grub) | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | charlytavu: That's not an end goal. What does the script do? What are you actually trying to accomplish? | 20:43 |
| histo | charlytavu: what does the script do? | 20:43 |

| kingeR | Hi, I am looking at these VPS with ubuntu, what kind of access do i get there, how does it look like? | 21:26 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: you don't just copy the iso to the thumb drive to boot it. YOu need to write it's contents to the drive | 21:26 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: what is the iso of and what operating system are you currently using? | 21:27 |
| rypervenche | kingeR: If you purchase a VPS with Ubuntu on it, you will likely get root access to the command line. | 21:27 |
| petrvs | JohnDoe1972: try using http://unetbootin.sf.net/ | 21:27 |
| JohnDoe1972 | 14.4 kylie 64 bit | 21:27 |
| histo | kingeR: full access to the box typically | 21:27 |
| kingeR | ok, and how will upload stuff, cause i see there is no cpanel for it | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | JohnDoe1972: You have two primary options. The most commonly done is to use Ubuntu startup disk creator or Unetbootin, which will extract the iso for you. If for some reason you really don't want the iso extracted, you can install grub to the USB drive and use it to loop boot the iso: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F | 21:28 |
| histo | kingeR: manage it using ssh or their provided inteface | 21:28 |
| histo | !usb | JohnDoe1972 | 21:28 |
| ubottu | JohnDoe1972: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 21:28 |
| kingeR | histo, I was never much of command line guy, is that too hard to learn. I mean, I know quite a lot stuff on command line, but not it | 21:29 |
| JohnDoe1972 | :/ ok info overload but thx guys | 21:29 |
| Jordan_U | HoloPed: You can still add a script to the end of /etc/rc.local if you really just want it to run at boot. | 21:30 |
| histo | kingeR: Why do you want a VPS? | 21:30 |
| rypervenche | kingeR: If you want something with cPanel, you will need to purchase a VPS with cPanel installed on it. cPanel is not free, so you will likely have to pay extra for the license fee. You can learn how to use SFTP to upload and download files on a server without cPanel. | 21:30 |
| kingeR | histo: I have bih website, with over 20k articles, and over 1gb of files. rypervenche: I know that, I just asked if it is hard :D | 21:31 |
| histo | kingeR: I would get a vps that is already setup for hosting if you are not familar with setting it up yourself. Unless you want to learn. | 21:32 |
| rypervenche | kingeR: "hard" is subjective. I don't think it is hard at all. You just need to learn how to do it. | 21:32 |
| Jordan_U | HoloPed: If you want to make a proper systemd service file, http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-for-admins-3.html is a good guide. | 21:32 |
| rypervenche | kingeR: Personally I would never recommend using anything like cPanel. Minimal is usually better in my experience. Only what you need and nothing else. But it all depends on what your needs are and what you are willing to learn and forgo. | 21:33 |
| kingeR | histo: I want to learn, that's why I am buying it one month earlier then i need it. | 21:33 |
| regedit | TJ-: sent you the link in PM | 21:33 |
| macksting | Jordan_U: So yeah, I just looked the matter up, and while it seems there's efforts at a Wine-like Mac environment called Darling, it sounds like there's a lot of work to be done. Anything else seems to require a copy of the OS. I'll go ask in #winehq, since this is firmly a Wine problem at this juncture. | 21:33 |
| macksting | Jordan_U and histo: Thanks for helping where you could. | 21:33 |
| Jordan_U | macksting: You're welcome. | 21:33 |
| TJ- | regedit: sorry, been busy. I've discovered something that might indicate a way to flash at boot-time. | 21:33 |
| mcphail | kingeR: if you want to upload/download using ssh/sftp, you can do it directly from the ubuntu GUI. Really couldn't be simpler | 21:33 |
| regedit | TJ-: no apology necessary man :) sounds interesting! please do share | 21:34 |
| kingeR | rypervenche: I had my fear share with cpanel, f***ing hate it. whenever there is problem have to wait for three days for someone from tech support | 21:34 |
| histo | kingeR: digital ocean has some great setup tutorials. BUt you will need to familiarize yourself with the command line at some point. | 21:34 |
| TJ- | regedit: Reading some Phoenix SCT documentation for engineers... one phrase jumps out at me: "Phoenix SCT allows Capsule to be stored in the disk GPT partition, rather than in flash RAM, for native restart support." | 21:34 |
| kingeR | mcphail: thank you, i wasn't sure. I only used ssh for communication from my phone to laptop | 21:34 |
| TJ- | regedit: source (see page 2, "Non-Volatile Capsule"): http://www.embedded-tools.de/sites/default/files/Phoenix_SecureCore-Mobile.pdf | 21:35 |
| mcphail | kingeR: it _is_ worth learning some command line stuff, though. Makes life very simple indeed when you get the hang of it | 21:35 |

See the Phoenix documentation on their ShellFlash: http://www.aures-support.fr/DATA/drivers/YUNO-%20Driver/ShellFlash_SCT_UG_v1.5.29.pdf?dl=0 | 22:15 |

| jonubuntu | @ubuntu233 During the final part where it does the grub install do I say "No"? Will it let me choose the drive then? The text says it uses the first drive by default. | 22:15 |
| DAnCoor | May I ask... I just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 and noticed I haven't one single row in /var/log/syslog ever since... anyone know if log has been discontinued? | 22:15 |
| gambl0re | i installed many thins | 22:15 |
| gambl0re | npm, nodejs, ember-cli | 22:15 |
| jonubuntu | I've never moved the grub install location before | 22:16 |
| k1l | gambl0re: try to run a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 22:16 |
| regedit | TJ-: where can i get this shellflash utility? | 22:16 |
| gambl0re | ok | 22:16 |
| k1l | gambl0re: so that is all 3rd party stuff? | 22:16 |
| TJ- | regedit: OK, found public files for you: ftp://ftp.icg.eu/Drivers/BeatlePOS/D2550/BiosTool/Phoenix/EFI_Shell/Release/v1.5.66.0/ | 22:16 |
| gambl0re | yea | 22:16 |

| k1l | gambl0re: well, than it might be that its just rubbish put together from the guy who did that 3rd party packages. | 22:17 |
| kostkon | DAnCoor, obviously it hasn't | 22:17 |
| ubuntu233 | jonubuntu: Use tab tab to complete nicks, I don't know what download you're using, however any install has this option, so yes sounds like you follow the text. | 22:17 |
| gambl0re | it worked before... | 22:17 |
| gambl0re | i installed nodejs and npm using apt-get | 22:18 |
| gambl0re | then i uninstalled apt-get and then nodejs | 22:18 |
| regedit | TJ-: enjoy! le'me know when you're back what happens next, i got the files | 22:18 |
| gambl0re | then i was able to reinstall nodejs but not npm | 22:18 |

| JohnDoe1972 | hey guys can someone explain the linux live usb creator step 3 : Persistance ? | 22:18 |
| gambl0re | uninstalled npm and nodejs | 22:18 |
| gambl0re | using aptget | 22:18 |
| gambl0re | its gonna take 6 hours to for dist-upgrade? | 22:19 |
| DAnCoor | drewx0r: thank you, well... need to search why it's gone then... :-) | 22:19 |
| k1l | gambl0re: and npm is from a 3rd party manual install? | 22:19 |
| k1l | gambl0re: well, run the dist-upgrade first. that will bring you all the needed updates | 22:19 |
| gambl0re | you could have told me that dist-upgrade is gonna take 6 hours | 22:19 |
| gambl0re | i already ran the apt-get update | 22:20 |
| k1l | gambl0re: i could not have known, that you dont have all the recent updates installed!! | 22:20 |
| jonubuntu | @ubuntu233 Thanks! I found the procedure to move grub too. Looks pretty easy; If that doesn't work I'll try a new install. Thanks again | 22:20 |
| gambl0re | you could have cautioned me | 22:20 |
| gambl0re | atleast | 22:20 |
| k1l | gambl0re: apt-get update doesnt install udates. it just gets the list with new packages | 22:20 |
| gambl0re | could i just cancel whatever its doing now and do it another time? | 22:20 |
| ubuntu233 | JohnDoe1972: It is a extra file syatem to save changes in the OS. | 22:20 |
| k1l | gambl0re: sorry but that is server-basics. | 22:21 |
| k1l | gambl0re: installing the updates is mandatory. | 22:21 |
| k1l | !apt-get | gambl0re | 22:21 |

| Ben64 | theres no way it should take 6 hours though | 22:21 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ubuntu233, will the rest of the usb be avail to stor upon as the persistance file is only 4gb in size | 22:21 |
| k1l | read yourself in the basics in the meantime | 22:21 |
| === michael__ is now known as Guest40681 | ||
| gambl0re | can i cancel the update? | 22:21 |
| gambl0re | without causing any damage? | 22:22 |
| k1l | gambl0re: you need the updates | 22:22 |
| k1l | do it now | 22:22 |
| gambl0re | ill do it later on. | 22:22 |
| ubuntu233 | jonubuntu: Cool, you don;t need to move it, but just get a terminal in the server and run sudo grub-install /dev/sdX X is the HD. | 22:22 |
| k1l | gambl0re: not having the recent updates can block installation of new software. | 22:22 |

| ubuntu233 | JohnDoe1972: You can actually make a casper-rw partition, and have a persistance as big as you want. But live has it limitations, adding casper in this context I would not know. Not sure really what your question entails. | 22:24 |

| ubuntu233 | JohnDoe1972: Ah, write to, wide question is all. You can have the usb iso on a small partition and have the rest partitioned and openable from the live yes. | 22:27 |
| k1l | Maca: this channel is english only. see the bots messages for other languages | 22:27 |
| Bashing-om | DAnCoor: 15.04 uses the init system systes, and logging is a function of sais 'systemd'. What returns from terminal command ' journalctl ' ? | 22:27 |
| JohnDoe1972 | the persistance file is just for changes to the os correct ? | 22:28 |
| Maca | gracias kill! | 22:28 |
| ubuntu233 | JohnDoe1972: Yeah exactly the live, say you add apps, or do an update....etc. | 22:28 |
| ubuntu233 | JohnDoe1972: Acts basically like an install, however it is the iso still, kernel updates are not good generally. | 22:29 |

| DAnCoor | drewx0r: Well... I somewhat wish I never upgraded, but well... Now I'll have some catch up to do... :-) | 22:36 |
| drewx0r | my users' experience with 14.04 kept me clinging to 12.04 LTS. I'm still hanging on. | 22:38 |
| ImJune | hang on yeah | 22:38 |
| ImJune | there is something really wrong with 14 and 15 | 22:39 |
| k1l | ImJune: that message appears when the servers are syncing and the packages are not matching the hashes from the list. just give it some time | 22:39 |
| DAnCoor | I had trouble from every dist upgrade last 3 times... Last time I figured out that since I wasn't used "sudo" from the beginning, when I start using sudo there was some missing in PATH that made my dist-upgrade crash every time... now from 14.10 I didn't use sudo (run from root) upgrade went through smoothless.... | 22:42 |
| k1l | DAnCoor: the upgrades get automated testings, so if you dont change too much on your system manually, that should work like a charm. and i dont get what you mean with sudo vs. root | 22:44 |
| JohnDoe1972 | guys i used ubuntu a couple of years ago and it was FASTTT. Kaylin seems REALLY slow in comparison ! | 22:44 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: what is kaylin? | 22:45 |
| JohnDoe1972 | also the recycle bin folder on the desktop is in japanseese / chineese ? | 22:45 |
| JohnDoe1972 | kylin | 22:45 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ubunto 14.04.2 | 22:45 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: kylin is the chineese version of ubuntu. why you use that? | 22:45 |
| JohnDoe1972 | its whats on the ubunto download pake | 22:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | page | 22:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | sigh | 22:46 |
| DAnCoor | k1l: I never want to upgrade manually... that's why I upgraded to 14.10 because I needed the "mangle" file in shorewall newer release | 22:46 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: so you use a chineese version and wonder why its chineese? | 22:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | ive just wasted the last hour | 22:46 |
| JohnDoe1972 | i dint know it weas the chineese version | 22:46 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: use the plain ubuntu version. | 22:47 |
| JohnDoe1972 | its stupid shit like this why i stoped using ubuntu in the first place | 22:47 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 22:47 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: You're the one who chose to download the chinese version without reading whatever link you followed. | 22:47 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: I don't see why this would stop you from using ubuntu? | 22:48 |
| JohnDoe1972 | also why is it so slow ? im booting from usb. that should be like ssd speeds surely ! well not quite but faster than normal hhd | 22:48 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: you are making that too difficult. get the regular ubuntu iso. put it onto a usb or dvd like the official tutorial says, try it. | 22:48 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: no, usb is slow. | 22:48 |
| histo | JohnDoe1972: The read and write speed of usb is pretty slow | 22:48 |
| JohnDoe1972 | faster then hdd ! | 22:48 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: everything needs to be loaded into the ram. and most usb drives are very very very very very slow. just get the facts instead of blaming ubuntu | 22:49 |
| JohnDoe1972 | i used ubuntu 12 and it was FAST ! | 22:49 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: do you know the read and write speeds of that usb? | 22:49 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: then make a real install. | 22:49 |
| DAnCoor | k1l: Actually, when I moved from Mandrake to Ubuntu, I did the misstake to skip the "sudo" and continued using root... when I suddenly followed the instructions and did an dist-upgrade with sudo it stopped on libc and dev-libc upgrade... kind of loop problem.... appearantly sudo was missing some relevant path's to /sbin etc | 22:51 |
| JohnDoe1972 | then im going to have to do the god damn live usb creator again | 22:51 |
| bazhang | no cursing here JohnDoe1972 | 22:51 |
| JohnDoe1972 | why ? | 22:51 |
| k1l | !guidelines | JohnDoe1972 that is why | 22:51 |
| ubottu | JohnDoe1972 that is why: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 22:51 |
| bazhang | JohnDoe1972, a usb live will never be even a little close to hdd speeds | 22:52 |
| JohnDoe1972 | isnt that a bit draconian ? i thought the web was where people could express themselves any way they wished ! | 22:52 |
| Demon_Jester | Hey guys I have a quick question if I were to install another ubuntu OS over my current one will it save my files similar how windows will store them in windows.old folder? | 22:53 |
| JohnDoe1972 | not to be controled by some power hungry anonomous person who thinks god damn is a curse | 22:53 |
| k1l | JohnDoe1972: stop all that. if you just want to rant start a blog. this channel is for ubuntu support according to the guidelines. | 22:53 |
| histo | Demon_Jester: what is your current os? | 22:54 |
| bazhang | Demon_Jester, there should be an option to preserve the home | 22:54 |
| Demon_Jester | histo: xubuntu, and I will be install ubuntu server over it | 22:54 |
| Demon_Jester | bazhang: If my directory is in home will that guarantee that my files won't be deleted, or are all my files no matter what are in /home directory? | 22:55 |
| bazhang | at least for a desktop install, no idea about server | 22:55 |
| bazhang | try in #ubuntu-server about that Demon_Jester | 22:56 |
| Demon_Jester | bazhang, ok thanks | 22:56 |

| onanymous | hello | 22:58 |
| Azaziah_ | Hi! I',m trying to make backups of broken Win install with Ubuntu CD and wanted to use the LIVE feature, but it opens in GRUB instead | 22:58 |
| onanymous | i use a backbox :) | 22:59 |
| k1l | onanymous: then #backbox (or wherever they have a support channel) is the right place :) | 23:00 |
| DalekSec | #backbox on irc.autistici.org/6667 to be precise. | 23:00 |
| onanymous | oke thx | 23:01 |
| ubuntu233 | Azaziah_: you have a link to the download of the iso | 23:02 |
| ubuntu233 | basically what your booting with live | 23:03 |
| Azaziah_ | ubuntu233: I have ubuntu 10 from some years ago, it boots to grub_rescue console..Im pretty sure this used to work with Live.. | 23:04 |
| k1l | Azaziah_: uh, that is very old. i would try a 14.04 or 15.05 to boot into live | 23:04 |
| ubuntu233 | Azaziah_: does it boot to the live from any of the choices? | 23:05 |
| ubuntu233 | +1 on a updated release | 23:05 |
| Azaziah_ | ubuntu233: I set the laptop to boot from CD and it goes straight to grub rescue mode.. I should probaby try to remake my backup solution if there is no easy way to fix this.. | 23:07 |
| ubuntu233 | Azaziah_: There is a per-session boot, mine is f12, my bios screen has a notation of this, try the cd from there if you can. Could youhave modified this cd to go to grub? | 23:11 |
| Azaziah_ | My best quess is that the CD may thinks Acers hidden recovery partition is Ubuntu install or something? | 23:12 |
| educacionit | how do i sudo? | 23:13 |
| ubuntu233 | Azaziah_: Without dragging this out further, I would try the per-session, I have seen the bios bypass cd/usb's first listed | 23:13 |
| Azaziah_ | ubuntu233: I trie'd that also but it does the same.. I don't think I have touched the CD myself, but maybe Ubuntu automatically edited it once I actually installed it on one HDD? | 23:14 |
| ubuntu233 | Azaziah_: I would get a supported media like 14.04....etc | 23:15 |
| al2o3-cr | educacionit: how'd do you mean? | 23:16 |
| educacionit | al2o3-cr: how do i use sudo? | 23:17 |
| Azaziah_ | ubuntu233: Okay then, thank you for the support and have a nice day! :) | 23:18 |
| ubuntu233 | np | 23:18 |
| al2o3-cr | educacionit: sudo command ? | 23:18 |
