[00:00] its showing up under devices, but not in file manager [00:00] whitehead: Does it show in windows, you had it originally? [00:00] i mean disks* [00:00] no [00:00] i just got my new laptop [00:00] it had free dos [00:00] wich i uninstalled [00:01] whitehead: Install gparted open it and see if it shows and has a file syatem still, or pastebin sudo parted -l [00:01] ok sec [00:02] whitehead: Let's look at the hard drive from terminal / In a pastebin show ' sudo fdisk -lu ; sudo blkid ' . [00:02] whitehead: I know nothing about freedos, just helps to see some commands. [00:03] http://imgur.com/dgszTjK [00:03] nambiz: Do not contact me except through channel.

[00:12] I dont really know about physical and logical volumes and ubuntu :/ [00:13] what i mean is i'm a noob [00:13] !LVM | whitehead [00:13] whitehead: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:17] hello [00:18] how many ppl are acutally here? [00:18] The world may never know. [00:19] lel [00:19] i got no probs 4 now so cya ppl [00:21] When I connect Ardour to jack, Ardour automatically chooses my internal computer microphone. It doesn't let me choose my USB Audio interface. Any help? [00:21] I'm reading on howto lvm but what specifically do i need to look at ? [00:23] whitehead: If it were me I would get used to getting a good basic install, and than research the next steps. Help is nice but what you learn yourself is more likely to be remembered, than a to much info all at one. ;) [00:23] whitehead: Again, O have no experience with LVM .. but what you are looking for and want to do is mount the LVM partition that is on the sda drive from the booted sdb drive . [00:28] what does ubuntu 14.04 now use for starting/stoping services? Im using a third party python3 based script and id like to be able to automatically start it on boot and also start/stop it with the service command. I think i would have to simply kill the process and start it again to actually restart, etc [00:29] When I connect Ardour to jack, Ardour automatically chooses my internal computer microphone. It doesn't let me choose my USB Audio interface. [00:31] !upstart | MACscr [00:31] MACscr: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [00:36] just got an SSD, need to move my system from old (possibly failing) hard drive… I made partitions for / /home /tmp /opt … should I just partition the SSD comparably first? [00:36] first thing is a backup [00:37] darthanubis: oh, I backed up on my original external drive already [00:37] that I've been using for backup [00:38] create your partitions, install the OS and off ye go! [00:38] cheers! [00:38] darthanubis: you think I should do an *install* rather than just do a 1:1 clone of the current drive? [00:38] that's up to you [00:38] I like clean [00:39] go clean [00:39] I like clean too, but I'm not really trying to get perfectly clean in this case, I just want my system to work again (it's had intermittent loss of connection to the internal drive) [00:40] and I'm hoping the new drive will fix it (otherwise, it's some other cable or connection…) [00:40] wolftune: is the SSD smaller than the original drive? [00:40] all the more reason to go clean [00:40] wolftune: Keep in mind if you clone, you must track down and correct the the differing UUIDs . [00:40] Bashing-om: ^^ [00:40] all of the above madness must be sorted [00:40] +1 [00:40] I would just carve up the drive with the installer and be done [00:40] tup [00:40] yup [00:41] I don't *terribly* mind doing the UUID things I guess… but I see the advantage to clean [00:41] I do have saved export of my custom-added repos, and my installed packages [00:41] wolftune: if you have that, I would definitely reinstall clean. If you don't like it, you can always go back to your backup [00:42] well, my backup is my /home stuff, not a 1:1 clone… [00:42] i always install clean ...i find that I remove a lot of kruft I forgot I installed and never needed or used really but impulsively installed for some reason at 3am for fun [00:42] wolftune: well, then you have no choice :) [00:42] wolftune: The major UUID differences will exist on " /etc/fstab " and " /boot/grub/grub.cfg ". [00:43] wolftune, there's no real reason for /tmp and opt partitions [00:43] zerowaitstate: well, I have 3 drives, the backup of /home one, current problematic internal, and new SSD [00:43] psusi: no? [00:43] nope... unless you enjoy wasting disk space [00:43] at one point, I got into doing separate partitions more… not sure what's best now [00:44] my current (problematic) drive is a dual thing with 25GB SSD part and 500GB traditional [00:44] on servers /tmp volumes are useful for keeping tmp files from getting too large on a critical server that stays out of sight most of the time. it's a waste on a desktop [00:44] I set it so the 25GB part was / [00:44] many just do a home, which can be seperated at any time [00:44] fyi, if you were using LVM instead of conventional partitions, moving your system is pretty easy... can even be done while you are using it [00:44] but now moving to a plain 250GB SSD [00:45] wolftune: my advice is don't use partitions, use lvm if you want separate volumes [00:45] how do I install this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/+source/pgadmin3 [00:45] well, I do like being able to store large media files separately from /home [00:45] * TJ- advises LVM too ... you can even mirror Logical Volumes across different Physical Volumes then [00:45] it's one drive that.. shows up as two? how very odd... I got an SSHD to beta test a while back... the flash part is just transparent and automatic [00:46] Anyone know if there is a replacements to the screenlets package for Ubuntu 15? [00:46] wolftune: the nice thing about logical volumes is you can move them to different disks fairly easily (except for the root volume, of course) [00:46] then why not just leave /home on your root partition and keep your media separate? instead of 3 different places? [00:46] zerowaitstate, moving the root is no different... when I got an ssd I just pvmove'd my running root over in the background while I continued to work [00:47] lvm = Linux Virtual Machine? [00:47] lvm = logical volume manager [00:48] I've never used logical volume manager… that's new to me [00:48] wolftune: LVM, love it [00:48] !lvm | wolftune [00:48] wolftune: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:48] it's pretty nifty.. might have a read of http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm [00:48] lvm makes sense even for a plain user on a laptop? [00:48] wolftune: yup [00:48] it can [00:49] is it hard to get comfortable with or no? I'm not a real power user… [00:49] wolftune: there's not a lot of downside to it. Performance impact is minimal if you aren't doing stuff that's really crazy [00:49] it's most useful if you sometimes like to change disks, or resize partitions, or create new partitions to test out other or beta systems [00:50] wolftune: LVM is a series of containers ... Physical Volume (PV) == real disks/partitions, Volume Groups (VG) == collection of ... Logical Volumes (LV) == a block device (usually containing a file-system) that you might think of as the equivalent of a disk partition. [00:50] wolftune: when you install ubuntu, it actually asks you if you want to set up LVM. It creates the initial stuff for you, but gives you the ability to customize it [00:50] I don't know that I want to do those things, but I know that inability to easily swap stuff makes me hesitate… [00:50] and it's also handy for making backups... you can take a snapshot of a volume that freezes it in time, then back that up while yuo continue to make changes to the original volume [00:50] zerowaitstate: is that asking about lvm something newish? [00:51] wolftune: not really; i've seen it for several years at least [00:51] * wolftune uses BackInTime currently [00:51] wolftune: it's actually part of the debian install process, which ubuntu inherits [00:51] does anyone run amd radeon r9 on ubuntu? [00:51] is nvidia vs amd an issue on ubuntu? [00:51] codepython777: lol you just stepped in it [00:51] the default configuration for lvm is silly though: it just allocates all of the space to a root volume, leaving you with no room to add new volumes or snapshots [00:52] codepython777: AMD has *issues* with drivers on Linux depending on card [00:52] wolftune: One of the many great benefits of LVM is you don't have to allocate all the available storage to LVs (file-systems) immediately, so the VG can contain free 'extents' which can be used to extent the size of existing LVs (or create new LVs) on the fly. I usually keep at least 25% of space free to begin with and use it if LVs fill up [00:52] better to leave some space unallocated so you can do things with it later... including expand an existing volume instantly while it is online [00:52] codepython777: AMD's open source drivers don't keep up with their hardware, and their closed source drivers are crap [00:52] zerowaitstate: I thought this had changed recently? [00:53] codepython777: see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2244700 ; solution see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2278589 . [00:53] zerowaitstate, I've not had any trouble with the open source drivers for years [00:53] psusi: I run multimonitor setups and spend about 3 hours getting drivers to work on every machine I have to set up [00:53] ahh... multiple monitors... never really cared for that [00:54] psusi: this is with a fairly common AMD card in a Lenovo desktop [00:54] psusi: unfortunately, I need multimonitor to work. Can't afford 50' monitors [00:55] zerowaitstate: that's interesting; what problems does it cause (I also use multi-monitor with Nvida and have been considering an AMD/ATI GPU) [00:55] codepython777: AMD keeps up with kernel updates for slower updating distro's like RedHat, just fine. However, ubuntu tries to stay on the bleeding edge of kernel versions, and AMD can't keep up [00:56] one of the more recent additions to lvm is the thin volumes.. you can dedicate say, 50gb of disk space and then create 3 different 50gb logical volumes using that space, and install different OSes in them and run them in virtual machines, and each thinks it has 50gb to play with but as long as it is only using 1/3 of that, you don't run out of your 50gb total [00:56] TJ-: the driver rejecting the card; saying its not valid because it doesn't recognize the PCI ID [00:56] zerowaitstate, more like redhat likes to hang 3-5 years back ;) [00:56] zerowaitstate: ouch! Do you use mainline kernels or Ubuntu kernels? [00:56] psusi: no arguments there, but everyone thinks they have to follow suit, which is stupid [00:57] TJ-: ubuntu kernels [00:57] psusi: usually, there is a way to work around it by turning the validation off, but it's a pain [00:57] zerowaitstate: I tend to use mainline kernels so I'd probably suffer more if AMD are behind the curve somewhat [00:58] TJ-: it's not a problem related just to AMD, other folks like VMWare have similar issues [00:59] zerowaitstate: glad to know about this, because I push the system hard. Laptop + 2x external GPUs, currently Nvidia driving 6 monitors [00:59] TJ-: If it works, don't #()*@ with it [01:00] TJ-: my 2 cents === harrison is now known as Guest68719 [01:00] zerowaitstate: I have to #()*@ with it, as you put it, otherwise I'd have nothing to bisect :) [01:01] TJ-: ah. well best of luck to you. I highly recommend sticking with the open source drivers if at all possible [01:02] TJ-: those, at least, are fixable [01:02] hey everyone got a problem aa-notify keeps eating up ram as soon as i start the desktop. anyone seen this before and what should i do? [01:03] zerowaitstate: how is nvidia doing? [01:04] codepython777: no idea. Linus got into with them a few years back and they started cooperating more. I haven't used them myself but have heard good things [01:04] Dusti[n]: i use apparmor but I don't know what aa-notify is [01:05] codepython777: Nvidia still has binary blobs in the drivers, from what I understand. [01:06] zerowaitstate: and amd cant update drivers - what do i buy? :) [01:06] intel ? :) [01:06] is facebook chat in empathy still broken? [01:06] hum yeah i tried to remove it and for whatever reason its still there [01:06] www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36yNWw_07g [01:06] im going to give it another try and see [01:06] codepython777: I have an Intel Haswell on my laptop and it has never given me a problem [01:06] zerowaitstate: my desktop came with intel 4600 [01:07] need to buy a hdmi to dvi dual link and try if it can run a 30" monitor [01:07] not sure [01:07] codepython777: but I don't do heavy stuff with it [01:08] TJ-: an explanation of why Nvidia binary blobs may actually work better than the AMD driver approach, at least for now: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/06/nvidia-addresses-linus-torvalds-fuck-you-nvidia-remark/ [01:09] TJ-: so basically 90% of their code is the same across OS's, so they can roll out new GPU support immediately without having to worry about side effects of changes in various kernel versions [01:09] Dusti[n]: ya I don't think i have that installed [01:10] I've used nvidia for the last 10 years on my primary laptops and never had any performance issues. I sometimes have to patch the kernel wedge source to build against mainline kernels until nvidia catch up, but I'm using/testing mainline release-candidate kernels so that is expected. [01:10] grinchier: thanks [01:11] hello need help unuderstanding a bash code [01:11] what does bash -i >& [01:11] bash -i >& [01:11] never seen those characters used like that. any help [01:12] zerowaitstate: i was hoping AMD would catch up with drivers, and we wont need nvidia anymore [01:12] zorlac: ">&" redirects stdout and stderr [01:13] TJ: thanks [01:13] zorlac "man bash" then "/^REDIRECTION" will explain it far better [01:14] codepython777: kernel's just moving too fast development wise. It has both good and bad parts [01:14] codepython777: I expect things to settle down once wayland is done [01:14] zorlac: 0 = stdin, 1 = stdout, 2 = stderr [01:14] codepython777: at least for graphics. [01:15] so 2>&1 will redirect stderr to stdout [01:16] and what about 0>&1 [01:16] i usually use > or >> to put output to file [01:17] > mean write from 0 >> means append [01:17] Can some one help me i don't have my hdd under devices i tried mounting it but i can only see swap active on it [01:17] i under stand the > [01:18] i installed ubuntu on ssd [01:18] whitehead: what does lsblk show you [01:19] zorlac: > means redirect to a file name >&name means redirect to a file descriptor [01:20] zerowaistate: http://pastebin.com/hYChXz0F [01:22] whitehead: sudo vgdisplay [01:23] okay, I'm convinced that Lvm is the way to go [01:23] whitehead, you'll have to be more specific... i.e. tried mounting it how? only "see" how? [01:23] ok thank you all for your help. [01:23] https://quonn.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/how-to-mount-lvm-partition-on-ubuntu/ [01:23] oh what about this command 5<> [01:23] reading from this guide [01:24] zorlac: in what context? [01:24] whitehead: ah, lol [01:25] whitehead: I think the way you allocated stuff is mess up [01:26] well. a friend and i have been getting our hom epc's to connect back to our ofice computers, few things the office firewall wont let up do [01:26] whitehead: your root partition is sitting on /dev/sdb2 and has 14G of space [01:26] ok, so *if* go ahead and do a clean install for the new SSD, what's the process by which I can most smoothly look at a list of all the packages I had installed before (I have that list already) and choose to include or not each of them (selecting only the manually installed, not the ones that were just installed as dependencies)? [01:32] if I really don't feel I can or should spare the time to hand-select what to install or not, can I still use Lvm with my new SSD and clone the files from my existing partitions on my old drive? [01:32] yeah; rsync should be able to do that [01:36] i am reading postgresql docs and I can't believe I've been using mysql all this time [01:36] literally every gripe I have about mysql is answered [01:37] zerowaitstate: It is a rather hidden gem :) [01:37] How can i use my hdd ? [01:37] http://i.imgur.com/0dKtkn8.png [01:38] TJ-: my office mate obsesses about mysql because he's a php guy, so that's all we ever get to use. I never touch PHP, and coming from mssql, I frankly can't stand mysql [01:43] whitehead: volumes sit on volume groups. volumes groups sit on physical volumes. you have a single volume group, called ubuntu-vg. it owns one physical volume, which is the 3rd partition of sda. you need to create a new logical volume in ubuntu-vg to hold your actual files. lvcreate will handle that [01:43] whitehead: currently, ubuntu-vg has one logical volume already, but that is being used for swap. you have plenty of space in the vg to create a new lv, though === jrunning_ is now known as jrunning [01:45] zerowaitstate: I use Postgres whenever I can :) Or MariaDB if I can't. [01:51] whitehead, yes, you can just copy all of the files from your existing system to a new one, then install grub on the new drive, and you're good to go [01:53] whitehead, boot your existing drive first, press 'e' to edit the menu, and change the root= argument on the linux line to point to the new root volume to boot it... then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure to reinstall grub to the new drive and you can then shutdown and remove the old one [01:53] also change the /etc/fstab on the new drive to match the new configuration [01:54] okay, how do i boot a drive ? === sebastian is now known as Guest84413 [01:55] just boot your system normally, and then use the 'e' key to edit the menu and set it to boot from the new drive... install grub on the new drive, then remove the original drive and your bios should boot the new drive since the old one isnt there any more.. or you can go into your bios configuration and tell it what drive to boot from [01:56] this is assuming you aren't using UEFI, which is a bit different [01:56] i used uefi to usb boot [01:56] but its not 1st boot [01:56] in bios [01:57] im using ubuntu not longer than 24 hrs, which menu will the e key open ? [01:58] does the new drive refer to ssd ? [01:58] if the new drive you are moving to is an ssd, then yes [01:59] the ubuntu is installed on the ssd [01:59] so im guessing the hdd is the new drive ? [01:59] 'e' lets you edit the menu in grub... right now it is configured to tell linux to use some partition on the old drive as your root fs [01:59] after copying the files to the new partition on the new drive, you need to point it there to boot from the new drive [02:00] I thought you already had an hdd and were moving to an ssd? [02:00] i have both sdd and hdd [02:01] after booting from the new drive once, you can then use dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc to install grub to the new drive so it will boot without the old drive, and run update-grub to change /boot/grub/grub.cfg to already point to the new drive so you don't have to do any more boot time editing [02:02] im not sure that i understand everything but ill go try [02:02] wish me luck [02:02] well, wait [02:02] what don't you understand? [02:03] is that action going to replace ubuntu from the sdd to the hdd [02:03] right now you have drive A that has grub installed so it can boot grub, then grub is configured to boot linux and tell it to mount your root partition... after copying all of your files to the new drive, you want that drive to have grub installed, and be configured to boot linux using the *new* root partition [02:03] so you can then remove your old drive [02:04] but why do i wanna remove the old drive ? [02:04] you want to keep it and use it for... what? [02:04] ugh im such a tool :/ [02:04] certainly you don't want to still boot from the old drive right? [02:04] idk i just want to be able to use my 1tb hdd [02:04] use it for what? [02:05] anything [02:05] its not accessible atm [02:05] do you want to move your system to a new drive, or just store files on the new drive? [02:05] in file mngr [02:05] I thought you wanted to move [02:05] i wanna make the hdd lvm type and visible in file mngr so i can put stuff in it [02:06] where do you want to mount it? [02:06] just some data volume in /media? [02:06] i guess [02:06] idk [02:06] then just format it and it should show up in file manager and you can open it and store files on it [02:07] hi guys i wanna recover a root password on a machine running an older version of Ubuntu. I go to recovery mode and press drop to root shell but it asks me for root password. wat do [02:07] and continue to boot your system as it is now on the old drive [02:07] thers some stuff in it [02:07] ill give u a screenshoot [02:07] wat do [02:07] i love it [02:08] notfly, apparently you had set a root password.. you shouldn't do that... you can get around it by pressing 'e' at the grub menu to edit the commands, and on the linux line, add "init=/bin/sh" and when the kernel boots you will be at a root shell [02:08] thanks man, I'll give it a shot [02:08] notfly: You sure thijs is not a user password, there is no root PW unless made [02:08] brb [02:08] notfly, where you can do mount-o remount,rw / to remount the disk read/write, then run passwd to change the root password [02:09] http://imgur.com/PbdIA14 [02:09] is it safe to format it ? [02:09] whitehead, that doesn't really tell me much [02:09] hmm [02:10] idk if sda1 is somthing related to system [02:10] wife says it's bed time... night... [02:10] Hi all! I have an Ubuntu, and I just bought a WD "My Passport Ultra" external hard drive. When I try mounting it via "nautilus" it says: "Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE library." [02:10] oh well [02:10] night.. [02:14] EtaleCoh: check this out: http://adamdekroon.com/2014/12/debian-post-installation-issue-unprivileged-user-can-not-mount-ntfs-block-devices-using-the-external-fuse-library/ [02:15] EtaleCoh: apparently some install process or other may have left junk in the fstab that shouldn't be there [02:15] Thanks, zerowaitstate. Trying this now. [02:15] EtaleCoh: of course, I recommend making a backup of fstab before making changes [02:16] BTW, zerowaitstate, is there a way of alerting linux to the new fstab without rebooting? [02:16] EtaleCoh: fstab is read any time you attempt to mount a volume [02:16] Oh okay. [02:16] EtaleCoh: you don't need to reboot unless you changed the root partition line [02:19] So, zerowaitstate, I actually have a bunch of lines like that because I added them myself about a year ago. Is there a way to do it that isn't deleting the whole line, but rather adjusting the right property correctly? [02:19] EtaleCoh: Termimal command ' sudo mount -a ' will inplace verify the /fstab file . [02:20] None of my lines are for sbd anything. [02:20] Just sdd1, sdc1, sdd and sdb. [02:21] Wait, never mine. I'm dyslexic. [02:21] Oh, no I'm not. It's just a typo on the website. [02:22] Mmm... So is there a way to solve this without really *deleting* that line? [02:22] add the "user" option to the volume [02:23] the options are right after the filesystem type in fstab [02:24] EtaleCoh: Have you seen : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions ; http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251 <-HOWTO: Mount NTFS partitions with specific ownership/permissions ?? [02:26] Here is my current fstab: http://pastebin.com/j4jXkEQq [02:29] This is not strictly related to Ubuntu, but I'm unsure of where else would be most appropriate... For as long as I can remember I've had port 3000 forwarded to my computer successfully, yet now I can no longer access it over my local network despite no changes to my router... [02:29] Robr3rd, #networking would know [02:30] cfhowlett, Thanks [02:30] Robr3rd, happy2help! [02:31] What's a good way to get started learning openstack? Can I virtualize an openstack environment? [02:31] !openstack | god_phantom [02:32] god_phantom, openstack.org or http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/ubuntu-openstack [02:35] hello [02:35] EtaleCoh: Is there a reason you choose not to use the defaults for mounting the NTFS partitions ?? as " ntfs defaults,umask=222 0 0 " [02:35] anyone good with dovecot config? [02:41] Bashing-om: probably not. As can be easily discerned I'm only pretending to understand linux. [02:42] What would you change in which line, Bashing-om? [02:50] EtaleCoh: We are all at some point in learning linux. Not to know is not a sin. Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions . a real good guide : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983336 . No one can tell you how to use your system . NTFS mounting is your preference. [02:50] So.. I added this line: UUID=F474B7AA74B76DCC /media/passport ntfs-3g defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 [02:50] This works, but now I can only mount it as root... [02:51] So what's the real proper way to set the number of files a user is allowed to have open? Does it involve /etc/sysctl.conf , /etc/security/limits.conf and /etc/pam.d/common-session [02:53] EtaleCoh: Yeah, root is uid=1000. That may be how you want to restrict access . [02:54] Oh. Then how do I make it not only root, Bashing-om? [02:56] Dresk: ulimit -n ? [02:56] al2o3-cr: Apparently that's deprecated [02:57] since when? === j3m4dux is now known as jemadux [03:05] i have a directory /media/gsav which is gsav:fileshares chmod 710.. i have a user tom who is a member of fileshares [03:05] tom can't navigate to the /media/gsav directory.. he gets permission denied.. why is this? [03:08] EtaleCoh: O am back ;:uid=#### specifies which userid should own the files on the partition. e.g. "uid=1000" means that the user with the id "1000" should own the files. You can find out your UID by opening a terminal and running "echo $UID" [03:10] EtaleCoh: Yjhat output should reflect 'yiu" as 1000, now what are the permissions on the mount point ? ' ls -al /media/passport ' ?? [03:11] yiu/you* [03:13] Baby needs taking care of. Will respond when I can. [03:17] i'm in the middle of an Ubuntu server install. i've set up a software RAID 10 with 3 LVM volumes on top: /, /home, and swap. now i'm at the stage where it's asking me where i'd like to install GRUB and i'm lost. [03:17] so, i need to know where GRUB needs to go in this configuration [03:18] !server | major_majors server channel would know [03:18] major_majors server channel would know: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server [03:18] cfhowlett: thanks [03:18] happy2help! [03:18] lol [03:21] Its been a while since I've been here, Whats Excess Flood mean? [03:24] darkangel: http://www.ircbeginner.com/opvinfo/h-quits-info.html [03:31] The reset command is not working here. How can I solve this? I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. Thanks. [03:31] MrJoestar, WHAT "reset" command do you refer to??? [03:31] what command, and what do you expect it to do? [03:31] When I type "reset" and press enter, it simply does nothing. [03:32] in the terminal [03:32] what should it do though? [03:32] I was expecting it to clean the text [03:32] try 'clear' [03:32] Oh ok thanks alot for the link lotuspsychje === tmro is now known as keroberos [03:33] When I use 'clear', I can still see the text if I scroll up [03:33] That's normal [03:33] MrJoestar: clean your system with bleachbit perhaps [03:33] !info bleachbit | MrJoestar [03:33] MrJoestar: bleachbit (source: bleachbit): delete unnecessary files from the system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6-1 (vivid), package size 255 kB, installed size 1965 kB [03:34] The ideia is to clean all the text in the terminal without closing it and opening again. [03:35] MrJoestar: you want to clear your bash history? [03:35] MrJoestar: like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/191999/how-to-clear-bash-history-completely [03:36] MrJoestar, just use reset instead [03:36] I finally found an answer, I was looking for this http://superuser.com/questions/299903/clear-terminal-using-keyboard-shortcut [03:36] Anyway, thanks guys [03:41] how can i run a command as another user? [03:41] as a system user which doesn't have a password [03:41] su user && command [03:41] crazyhorse18: or with Sux [03:41] crazyhorse18: problem is sux is removed from repos now [03:41] su only works if you know that users password [03:42] echo "passwd" | sudo -S su user && command [03:42] 'but I thought that you said there was no passwd [03:42] there isint' [03:43] then... su - user && command [03:43] er su user && command [03:43] sudo -H -u tom bash -c 'echo "I am $USER with uid $UID"' [03:43] ah this works [03:43] Ok, I have made some progress in diagnosing the sound issue. [03:43] 1. This is how I make the sound work initially: [03:43] Install Linux Mint 17.1 MATE 64-bit > Driver Manager > select Nvidia (recommended) radio button > Apply Changes > Sound Preferences > Output > select HDMI radio button. [03:43] dont forget to exit back to the user. [03:43] 2. The sound stops after the 1st reboot on Linux Mint 17.1 MATE 64-bit. [03:43] After the 1st reboot, Sound Preferences > Output > Built-in Audio Analogue Stereo radio button is selected (changed from my correct selection of Built-in Audio Analogue Stereo radio button). [03:43] 3. Once sound has stopped, I can make sound work with this command$ speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dhdmi:NVidia,1 [03:44] !mint | linuxmint [03:44] linuxmint: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:44] linuxmint, wrong channel. ask #linuxmint [03:44] crazyhorse18, seems like there is a lot of commands there but to each his own. [03:44] linuxmint: we strongly advise you to install ubuntu desktop :p [03:44] jimcornette, i couldn't get the suone to work [03:45] basically i want to do runas tom ls -al /test [03:45] crazyhorse18, does tom have a bashrc and profile ? [03:45] no [03:45] well then that is why [03:45] tom's a system user [03:45] you would have to append the bash -c what ever to it [03:46] ah ok [03:46] because it does not have a bash in its profile / bash rc to set [03:47] Bashing-om: I'm here. Doing "ls -al /media/passport/" gives that everythng is "moi" (my username) except for "dxwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 19 19:31 .." [03:51] okay, gonna use lvm for first time, on my laptop, not a server.. I was used to doing manual before to partition. Should I do manual still and there will be lvm options or guided lvm? [03:51] !lvm | flowenut [03:51] flowenut: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [03:52] I know that I want to have a separate lvm logical section for /home and another for large media files, separately from / [03:53] EtaleCoh: Run terminal command ' sudo chown moi:moi /media/passport/ ' to change the ownership from that of "root" to uou as "moi" / Now do you have access to the file system ? [03:53] lotuspsychje: thanks, I'll learn more, not doing RAID though, and my question is really about the Ubuntu install process more than Lvm right now [03:53] i.e. will Guided with Lvm in the Ubuntu installer let me set up separate Lvm logical volume for /home and such? [03:54] it looks like no because the only guided options are "use entire disk" [03:55] EtaleCoh: Typo uou/you* [03:59] flowenut: maybe this can help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM [03:59] hey i'm trying to make this function work https://gist.github.com/anonymous/23ccb223b9b41ca8a470 << but i can't get any output from it [04:00] lotuspsychje: ah! thanks [04:00] crazyhorse18: should the $1 in the sudo command be in '' marks? [04:01] notaeon, nah [04:01] i don't think so [04:02] No, Bashing-om, I still can't mount as "moi", only as root. [04:04] fixed it .. double quotes :) [04:04] EtaleCoh: Yuk, All looks right to me .. I like the fstab entry, and changing the ownership of the mount, you should have access . I presently do not know what else to advise . [04:04] Bashing-om: I have access as "moi", but I can only mount as root. [04:06] EtaleCoh: I do have another thought ! Who owns the files under /media/passport/ ? ' la -al /media/passport/ ' // Maybe the files prtmissions are effecting ? [04:07] okay that's really dense... I need some help: Lvm sounds great and like something I want to use now, but I do want to separate my /home [04:07] moi, Bashing-om. [04:07] EtaleCoh: As mounting is a admin thing, only one with administrative authority can mount a file system . yes ? [04:08] I don't quite get from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuDesktopLVM where the divide is between physical partitions and Lvm [04:08] I'm not sure what that means. I can mount USB's just fine as "moi"... [04:08] It seems it would be easiest to use the guided whole-disk option from the installer [04:09] I'm just hesitatant because that seems it won't separate /home at all. Should I be concerned about that? [04:15] hey.. can anyone tell me a good tutorial for emacs [04:15] TJ-: sorry I didn't really know how to properly test whether the fix is working or not, but someone is reporting that it does? [04:16] EtaleCoh: If I insert a USB drive it does mount via the /udev system . When I mount internal partitions I must supply administrative authority ( password ) to do so . Is this the case here for you ? [04:20] ESphynx: what fix is that? [04:25] im trying to get a script to work as a service. i know there is upstart and i guess this is systemd (?), but i dont know enough to convert it to an upstart. I know right now its not working any any level for starting using the service command. it works fine if i just plain run the bash script with the start argument. Any suggestions? Here is the supporting info: http://pastie.org/pastes/10249810/text [04:25] http://pastie.org/pastes/10249810/text [04:26] MACscr, did not look at the paste but systemd can read systemV init scripts [04:27] how to logrotate to keep 3 years log but take 6 months uncompressed? [04:28] MACscr, your init looks good what happens when you set -x too it ? [04:29] fishcooker, make a cron that has math to check that rotation [04:30] jimcornette: what do you mean? it works fine if i outright run the script [04:31] MACscr, you know what set -x does right ? and you have insserv the script ? [04:32] kinda? no idea on the second part. i didnt right any of this. trying to use an existing script for the app. i just changed a few paths to work with my paths [04:33] Ahh I see so set -x sets the script to run in compleate debug mode [04:33] !dpkg insserv [04:33] err [04:33] <__nemo__> exit [04:33] MACscr, see https://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot [04:34] esp the part about insserv [04:35] Anyone know how to get a touch screen working? lsusb is showing the device as D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd when I cat /dev/hidraw0 I get garbage so it's connected however cat /dev/input/event* devices produce nothing. [04:36] im trying to setup bumblebee and am getiting "modprobe error could not insert bbswitch no such device" [04:36] any help? [04:36] What's a bumblebee? [04:37] its for having multiple graphics cards [04:37] cool. [04:37] What version of ubuntu? [04:37] grr, getting a little to advanced for my blood. shouldnt take this much effort [04:38] n3tn0, you have added the repo and what not what did you try 1st ect ? [04:38] you have primus installed and what ont ? [04:38] not * [04:38] trusty [04:39] http://askubuntu.com/questions/549915/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-with-bumblebee-on-ubuntu-14-04 has some info. [04:39] I don't know if it's helpful. [04:39] as far as i know there is a cron; file:///etc/cron.daily/logrotate jimcornette [04:39] I have used bumble bee for many different nvidia setups. seems to work fine. But can take some time to set up 100% [04:40] well ya see im doing this on arch [04:40] * n3tn0 prepares to be stabbed [04:40] * jimcornette hands n3tn0 a shield and say its ok [04:40] n3tn0: I thought this was an #ubuntu [04:40] but ive exhausted all their ideas and this seems to be more or a deeper problem [04:40] xD [04:40] fair enough. [04:41] the issue lies with the modprobe related commands which are common to all linux [04:41] n3tn0, can you tell us what you tried and what happened ect ? [04:41] I always cheat and put my modprobe commands in /etc/rc.local [04:41] the modprobe command is failing [04:41] ohh. [04:42] hasnt been much to try. [04:42] everything just comes back to that error [04:42] n3tn0, whats /etc/modprobe.d/bbswitch.conf look like ? [04:42] doesnt exist [04:42] maybe the load state is funky ? [04:43] Oo [04:43] we are in the install stage i dont think its even loaded up yet [04:43] n3tn0: are you aware of nvidia-prime supercedin bumblebee ? [04:43] is it possible to create a user you can get a shell as without a home directory? [04:43] i dont think thats installed but ill check [04:44] Does anybody know of a graphical spectrum analyzer for Linux? [04:45] Gerowen: Have you looked at 'Jaaa'? [04:45] crazyhorse18: I believe you can set their home directory anywhere you like. Perhaps you're interested in setting up a jail of some sort. [04:46] I've only set up jails for ssh users. [04:46] i'm writing integration tests from commands [04:46] for* [04:46] netrom_: I've looked at a few things, but any time I google "spectrum analyzer" I get results for audio/studio applications instead of radio ones. Is Jaaa in the repos? [04:46] it's been a while since I did that. [04:46] Gerowen: for audio? Spectrum3D [04:46] so i need to create the user, run the tests, then remove them [04:46] Gerowen: there's an Ubuntu PPA @ https://launchpad.net/~nadaeck/+archive/ubuntu/spectrum3d [04:46] Hi all! I'm looking for a program to help me compose music. Any suggestions? [04:47] Gerowen: yes. I just did a 'apt-cache search spectrum' Seems there are a bunch of different ones there. Not sure which will work for you though [04:47] crazyhorse18: what's wrong with useradd then rm /path/to/home/ -R [04:47] TJ- : Nah for radio purposes. I talk on a CB radio a lot, and would be interested in seeing if I could connect an HF antenna to my laptop and find some Ubuntu software to monitor the airwaves, see what's out there. [04:47] Gerowen: You might want to pipe the search through a less/more [04:47] Gerowen: Spectrum3D can take input from Jack [04:48] Gerowen: how is the radio input delivered to linux, as an audio input? [04:48] TJ-: Could also use it to see if a radio I'm working on is producing spurious, off frequency transmissions, etc. [04:48] the-erm: yeah ok.. i'll do that [04:49] it might be adduser ... not sure what the command is I get it reversed sometimes. [04:49] Gerowen: how would connecting an HF antenna work, without an external frequency analyzer? [04:49] you'll probably want to delete the user at some point in that process.... [04:50] TJ-: I was just curious if it was possible, I've seen videos of people running spectrum analyzer software on their PCs, but now that you mention it, I do seem to remember one of them mentioning that he fed it into his sound card. [04:50] I'm just doing some research to see how I would set up something similar. [04:51] Gerowen: That's the thing, if you want to analyse frequencies up around 30MHz you'll need an external analyser; audio isn't going to go much above 32KHz [04:51] Gerowen: if you just want to analyse a received audio signal then, yes, feed it into the line-in of an audio card [04:54] Gerowen: you'd need a device similar to this: http://usbspectrumanalyzer.com/ [04:55] TJ-: Was just looking at one of those, :P [04:55] dsnyders, there are alot nothing like 54 or anything like that but here is a wiki list. used rosegarden in the past works ....ok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scorewriters [04:56] dsnyders, 51 * aka Qlab [04:57] Gerowen: It seems they drive the DVB-T chipset using osmocom SDR libraries, so you could make that side work on Linux. Then you'd need an analyser that can interface to it [04:58] jimcornette: I don't want to typeset music, I want to be able to record/edit/play notes and assemble them into songs. Sort of the musical equivalent to a paint program [04:58] Gerowen: working backwards from the osmocom pages, to the reddit hardware compatibility list, gives you many more options too: http://www.reddit.com/r/RTLSDR/comments/s6ddo/rtlsdr_compatibility_list_v2_work_in_progress/ [04:58] hi [04:58] 24Mhz minimum? that leaves an awful lot of the RF spectrum un-touched [04:59] dsnyders, Like garage band ? or are you looking real hight up like midi and xlr cables ? [04:59] in my system... skype , vlc, qbittorrent not working , some error like "symbol look up error, [05:00] This is the video that got me curious, TJ- , https://youtu.be/U7o7V2VDyHI [05:00] Gerowen: Below that you'll need much longer antennas and different electronics... that's a pretty good range with the DVB-T chipset in such a small device [05:00] Let's just say I'm looking more towards the Mary Had a Little Lamb end of the spectrum rather than Handel's Messiah [05:01] TJ-: He's using software on a PC that interfaces with some device with a proper antenna. I've got spare 11 meter antennas that would work fine for 10 and 12 meters, and I can always just build a dipole for lower frequencies if I needed it. [05:01] dsnyders, again maybe you would like to look at rosegarden and also LMMS but for real I am sure that you know that 51 Qlab is the industry standard [05:02] ok, I'm really overwhelmed now. I used to make physical partitions for /home and other things. People said earlier I should try Lvm — okay, but the guided Lvm install just uses the whole disk, no separate /home — and should I do encrypted? (this is just for my laptop) [05:02] and it only works on macs. that is if you are sealing with 32 channels and want a button to press to cue ect. pulls into boards (almost all) real easy. In other words there is no replacement atm for Qlab. Boy how I woish there was [05:02] someone could make some real money with taht ^^ [05:02] that * [05:02] SKYPE, VLC , QBITTORRENT NOT WORKING, SYMBOL LOOK UP ERROR, can anyone help me? [05:02] Gerowen: ~ $20 for the hardware looks like a good deal to me [05:02] mnr, what is it ? [05:03] what doss ldd say ? [05:03] mnr, ^^ [05:03] jimcornette: in my system some apps are not running [05:03] dsnyders: There is an #opensourcemusicians channel you might check out [05:04] I found guides for Lvm, but they are all complex or just go with the default. I've found nothing that simply says, "here's how to install Ubuntu with separate /home but with Lvm instead of physical partitions" [05:04] jimcornette: Basically, I know nothing. I've heard of rosegarden, but it seems like overkill for what I want to do. [05:04] when I run vlc it says skin interface error [05:04] ubuntu068: Thanks. I'll pop over there. [05:04] np [05:04] mnr, I know that but you say whe n you try to run the app that you are getting errors "symbol look up error" wondering if you can paste a full error . IE try to start VLC from the command line [05:05] mnr, this sound Qt'ish to mee [05:05] jimcornette: yeah I guess so its about qt4 [05:06] mnr, what is the error and if you run ldd against the app what is missing ? [05:06] sounds like you are going to need some qt libs [05:07] jimcornette: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11743854/ [05:07] hello i want to make an custom ubuntu and i want to change the live cd boot menu. you know with the install ubuntu or try ubuntu without installing can you help me? i have no idea how to do it. [05:07] jimcornette: its the vlc code [05:07] hi, good night [05:07] theubuntuguy, maybe you would like to look at live build ? [05:07] help me please! [05:08] what mins live build?? [05:08] mnr, can you paste the out put of ldd against vlc ? and also dpkg -l | grep qt4 [05:08] Gerowen: You've got me interested now, I'm going to buy a dongle and play around :) [05:09] theubuntuguy, http://live.debian.net/devel/live-build/ << live build it is used to make distros and what not [05:10] mnr, brb cigg break [05:10] jimcornette: what would be the exact code to run ldd for vlc [05:10] TJ-: lol, I just saw that video and got to thinking it'd be a good way not only to just see what's out there, but also as a tool for working on radios. Hackjobs working on CB radios will sometimes spread out coils meant to cancel out TVI, it will make a meter "say" they're putting out more power, but the extra power is splattering all over the place, so I figure a spectrum analyzer would help me keep an eye on things like that, and give me a little pro [05:10] ject to piddle around on, :P [05:10] ubuntu sucks [05:10] hello, guys, can anyone help me? I would like to run the command 'su -c' without a script, it has to be automatic, is run "su" and pass a parameter with the password in text form? [05:10] jimcornette: ah okay m :) [05:10] did you know that your operating system is a disgrace to debian [05:11] Gerowen: It'd be a useful tool for me too; I had no idea there were now SDR solutions using low-cost devices like this. It's rather like the Bitscope USB oscilloscopes [05:11] Ready-Diddy-0: If you don't like it then don't use it, there's a whole IRC channel just for Debian, :P [05:13] Debian does not pay my bills, so do not care what you think about my operating system [05:14] ok and what do i do with it [05:15] SkNix, I'm confused. What do you mean by 'without a script' and 'it has to be automatic'? These seem contradictory to me. [05:15] please help me with my problem [05:16] dsnyders, excuse, English error .. without entering the password. [05:16] theubuntuguy, making a change to any of the options that come in the install is not a easy task. Just depends on what it really is that you are trying to do. [05:17] dsnyders, [05:17] I want to run a program with another user, but without entering the password. [05:17] you can't SkNix, you can't use su without a password [05:17] and even if you could, you definitely shouldn't [05:18] SkNix: You'd need to add an entry to the "/etc/sudoers" configuration, see "man sudoers" [05:18] DylanRJ, br? [05:19] * ObrienDave takes aim at Google translate. *** BOOOOOOOOOOM *** [05:19] SkNix, I think the proper way to do it is to add the user to a privileged group and grant that group permission to execute the program in question. [05:22] dsnyders, have an application, runs on nginx / uwsgi / flask, which must run a program made in ruby, only when you run, it loses all environment variables such as PATH, and carries my genes .. nginx is running with the user correct ... I then use parameters in my application so that when you run the command, sought environmental variables, so I want to run with the user expecífico [05:22] jimcornette: i have ubuntu mini remix and i want to install some apps , change the installer text , change the boot screen and chang live cd boot menu text and image [05:23] dsnyders, who runs my program will be the flask .. when command list the current PATH, it lists only the way of the 'env' python you are using. [05:24] please hlp me :( [05:29] PLEASE [05:29] what? [05:29] my problm [05:30] my problem [05:30] which is? [05:30] i want to change the ubuntu live cd boot scren because im making an custom ubuntu [05:30] grep file.py should work in finding file.py? [05:31] SkNix: I'm sorry, but knowing/controlling which environment variables are available where is a bit out of my depth. I'm not familiar with nginx, uwsgi, flask, and only vaguely aware of ruby and python as programming languages. [05:31] look up plymouth [05:31] go python! [05:31] SkNix: you may need to inquire on a python or ruby channe. [05:31] no the live cd boot menu [05:32] like this on: http://i.stack.imgur.com/URzAF.png [05:32] ok.. thanks [05:32] no problem :) [05:33] when you do lspci | grep VGA, and the nvidia card just says "Nvidia Corporation Device 13d8" what does that mean? that it's not recognized? [05:33] theubuntuguy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1687418 or https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/739139-roll-your-own-customized-ubuntu-with-uck may be of help.

[05:40] snadge: I plan on using the time to shut everything down, wipe all the drives, and reinstall from protected storage. [05:40] i tryed to run uck and i selected everything but when i click start it wont ask me for an sudo password [05:41] DocMAX2, you can write a script that constantly monitors the program and restart it if it crashes [05:42] its a serious question though.. there seems to be two general approaches to this problem.. one is googles, of in the 10 hours leading up to the leap second, to insert microseconds.. and the other appears to be to use the ntp specified method which is to repeat a second at midnight [05:43] from the limited research i've done.. we should see a message printed in the kernel logs about repeating a second.. and that should be about it.. i think 23:59:59 gets repeated twice.. not sure [05:43] DocMAX2, do you need a script? [05:44] snadge, and this affects the outcome of all things how? [05:44] in 2012 it caused a flight booking system in australia to crash.. and there are other issues including, but not limited to, database operations that rely on the ordering of queries based on the timestamp [05:45] pretty boring stuff [05:45] OMG seriously? [05:45] ROFLMAO [05:45] can somebody help me? [05:45] harishkrupo, a tool [05:45] good thing everyone runs up to date soft/hardware [05:46] i tryed to run uck and i selected everything but when i click start it wont ask me for an sudo password [05:46] DocMAX2, which program is that? [05:47] theubuntuguy: Did you run uck as sudo? [05:47] theubuntuguy: This in a live enviroment? [05:48] whn i try to run it as sudo it says you shoud not run uck as root please run uck as normal user bcause it will ask for sudo password [05:50] when i try to run it as sudo it says you shoud not run uck as root please run uck as normal user bcause it will ask for sudo password [05:50] harishkrupo, it's logstash [05:53] help [05:53] DocMAX2, here check this link, http://superuser.com/questions/507576/how-to-automatically-restart-a-linux-background-process-if-it-fails [05:53] thx [05:54] ok now can somebody help me [05:54] DocMAX2, here is another for ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/251577/how-to-supervise-and-automatically-restart-a-process [05:54] DocMAX2, check this one it is better [05:54] cual esel canal en español [05:55] hi [05:55] theubuntuguy, this channel is for Ubuntu OS support. not for creating your own custom spin [05:55] help [05:56] !en | harishkrupo [05:56] harishkrupo, please see my private message [05:56] where do i need to go for my problem [05:56] !es | BUITRE [05:56] BUITRE: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[05:56] to #ubuntuforums [05:58] * ObrienDave is still chuckling about the "leap second" ROFL [06:05] lol fixed my problem === ken is now known as Guest1564 [06:07] snadge: Under UTC definitions, the second before 00:00:00 can be 23:59:60, 23:59:59, or 23:59:58. The problem is that timestamps should not be in UTC, but in TAI. [06:07] theubuntuguy: What was the fix? [06:08] delete the tmp folder from home [06:10] hi [06:10] dsnyders, TAI? [06:10] thai [06:11] dsnyders, perhaps a relevant question would be if i run "date" the second after 23:59:59 on a modern debian system.. what will i see? [06:11] err ubuntu rather [06:19] snadge: 23:59:60 probably [06:20] anyone know the state of optimus laptop driver support in 14.04? I couldn't get it working, and ask ubuntu is full of unanswered questions of the same thing [06:20] ObrienDave: International Atomic Time. UTC has periodic adjustments to keep it within one second of mean solar time. TAI does not adjust. It merely counts seconds. [06:22] snadge: what you would get depends on the day you run it. [06:24] which port used for default ping in this example : ping google.com [06:24] ? [06:26] ping doesn't use ports [06:28] al2o3-cr: Well, it would use 53 in this case to do the DNS lookup of google.com. [06:29] dsnyders: it uses icmp packets [06:36] hi all. I'm trying to install the nvidia driver and I'm having all sorts of issues. I was wondering if anyone might want to try to give me a hand? [06:37] csgeek: whats your card chipset mate?

[06:39] csgeek: the official page of your nvidia card should mention it [06:41] Well I'll be [06:42] not sure what page you're refering to, but I can use prime-select to switch b/w intel and nvidia [06:42] o W " G " f $ ; A # [ c $ % p Z & ; | X > @ k o X M l , [ > X K y H m w % = ] h ( [06:43] ~ 5 a V j o . h Q V [06:43] h l a M = H ` h Q ; B e [ n @ z b : I a ! g C / O J - D r I K 3 V b 2 Z d * , V ~ 2 [06:43] al2o3-cr, thanks [06:43] e H W w " { E N 9 [06:43] M [ t n W l ] t @ m F ; 6 ~ U w i O _ G d P c Y % R q 5 \ > k P ' : ? o a ' n Y R [06:43] 5 ? ^ N . ?

But if I do a prime-select nvidia then it fails and I just get a black screen [06:45] csgeek: if your card has optimus you need nvidia-prime [06:46] csgeek: to enable performance mode of your nvidia card [06:46] i have nvidia-prime installed [06:46] csgeek: ok check nvidia-settings from dash [06:46] csgeek: to see if you have turned on performance mode === joe__ is now known as psyraxjoe [06:46] well, I can't get into X unless I switch to intel.. but sure [06:46] csgeek: wich ubuntu version? [06:47] 14.10 [06:47] csgeek: oh, you might wanna upgrade to 15.04 or clean install 14.04 [06:47] csgeek: 14.10 will be end of life pretty soon [06:47] yeah.. but would that really help with the driver? [06:48] csgeek: things might get stable on 14.04.2 [06:48] csgeek: i would try LTS for sure with internet+updates during setup and install nvidia-prime [06:49] csgeek: then tweak your system for gaming (steam) if thats what you need? [06:49] nah.. i don't care about gaming... right now.. just about any app that uses GLX crashes my x server [06:49] right [06:49] mostly just want the nvidia driver so X is stable... [06:50] csgeek: if you look for stable try LTS [06:50] csgeek: but you might get it working on 15.04 also [06:55] alright.. I guess time to backup and such [06:56] \HELP [06:56] aktech: how can we help you? [06:56] Sorry, was attempting to pull up the command list for the client. Wrong escape char.

[07:15] i leave, thanks lotus [07:15] yeah [07:15] I have a samsung g4 android phone for android development and it sucks [07:15] just a machine that is a sandpit for testing [07:15] so, testing done…want it back to original [07:15] calvinx: you cant compare phones with ssd, but thats offtopic [07:15] haha. ok. just wondering about samsung as a hardware manufacturer in general. [07:16] so you think samsung pro 850 makes a good dev machine. [07:16] calvinx: you can always ak in ##hardware [07:16] ok [07:16] calvinx: yes, but the right cpu and ram ofcourse [07:16] you are using that yourself? [07:16] calvinx: maybe i5+ [07:16] calvinx: yes i use the samsung pro 850 14.04 64bit on my netbook and desktop [07:16] cool [07:17] will take a look at your recommendation. thank you. [07:17] calvinx: 8sec boot 3 sec halt [07:17] wa. nice. [07:17] you run ubuntu only on it or both windows and ubuntu? [07:17] calvinx: ubuntu only [07:18] calvinx: dualboot are bit more complex with uefi, but working fine on ssd [07:18] cool. thanks. will check it out. [07:18] calvinx: good luck!

Facebook must have changed their version requirements. [07:51] easyOnMe: Flash is still supported as a pepper plugin, but I haven't gotten that to work with Firefox yet.

[09:15] gagalicious: rkhunter can grab rootkits [09:15] sennn: join #ubuntu+1 for 15.10 [09:16] can i ask a "wise question"? why cant u guys stick with kernel 3 and just make it 3.a billion till the end of time without any new kernel upgrades? is that not possible? cant get it right the first time? we are not talking about doing a new one for quantum computing u know... [09:16] gagalicious: updates will always be needed.. [09:16] gagalicious: to improve things [09:19] !av | gagalicious [09:19] gagalicious: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [09:19] yeah... but 3.... til end of time is good enough. to keep compatibility with old stable usefulwares... if u know what i mean... instead of learning new tricks like systemd etc... u know what i mean? it's totally redundant on the sysadmin site [09:19] side [09:19] gagalicious: systemd has nothing to do with the kernel [09:19] histo: i'm hosting community driven files. [09:20] gagalicious: thats why we have Long time support [09:20] !lts | gagalicious [09:20] gagalicious: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [09:20] histo: yeah so why does people do the change?... i wish u guys can make some resilient against upgrade. not to say i'm resistant to change but i'm very sure u can improve the old ones to be better than the new === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [09:20] gagalicious: how would you suggest people improve the 'old ones' whatever that means, without making changes? [09:21] maybe someone should start one with a its <- indefinite term support... that'll ease everyone's pains [09:21] unix philosophy in software development? [09:21] gagalicious: 5 years is pretty long. [09:21] modularize everything? make them do what is necessary, upgrade where needs be... without such new stuff [09:21] gagalicious: there's always payed support from canonical also [09:22] ok [09:22] i think 5 years is too short. [09:22] gagalicious: Can you predict what computer we'll be running in five years? [09:22] gagalicious: You're not making any sense. [09:22] ok. nvm [09:22] gagalicious: maybe you should discuss this with the devs [09:22] it's like this... [09:22] let's say ubuntu 16 comes out... [09:23] i know so much stack of the linux system will have to be upgraded and changed [09:23] dependencies etc [09:23] gagalicious: it will, ubuntu is released on a cycle [09:23] it'll take roughly 1 year to get it right... everything === zeus is now known as Guest77478 [09:24] then... 6 months to deploy, 2 years to run. and and then... ubuntu 17 comes out... same ordeal again... wow... never ends! each stack is costly to upgrade [09:24] and each stack.. being upgraded... will need 1 to 2 years to stabilize [09:24] gagalicious: LTS [09:24] i think it's fair to say that... each upgrade will only have 2 years of real production usage... makes me wonder how many people are stuck with a decade old systems now [09:25] gagalicious: long term support , not life term support [09:25] confidently i say... 70% still use the 10 years ago code [09:25] gagalicious: I would assume only people that feel the way you do.

[11:10] thought of using 15.04 but after 6 months again reinstalling back everything again is a pain.

[14:56] Drekbeer, there is a simple script to remove unused kernels [14:58] dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge [14:58] @OerHeks that results in the exact same error message [14:59] with "linux-headers-server : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-86-generic but it is not going to be installed" added to it [14:59] Drekbeer, did you reboot after latest kernel install ? [15:00] I'm pretty sure I did, I'll perform a reboot to be sure === tcpman is now known as Guest38664 === sins-_l is now known as sins- [15:05] hello guys [15:05] hey guys [15:05] Does anyone know if there's a way to pause/resume Testdisk when it's making a disk image? [15:05] @OerHeks just rebooted and still get the same errors. To be sure you understand what is going on, here's the full console log of both the remove kernel script and "apt-get -f install": https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5aa2306d89ea6ea25a83 [15:05] how can I connect wireless internet with vmware?? [15:06] I'm trying to make an image for some data recovery, but it's going to take like... 100+ days [15:06] OerHeks, after installing fglrx should I rerun aitconfig --initial? [15:06] aonde posso encontrar dicas e titurias sobre ubuntu [15:06] How can I connect my wireless network with vmware? [15:07] Drekbeer, line 47 no spaceleft on the drive ... [15:07] oi [15:07] OerHeks, yea that's pretty much the reason I'm trying to purge the old kernels...

[15:10] im not sure if this is a ubuntu specific thing, becuase i run ubuntu on most of my servers.. but in file.txt i have a word "sentence" , so when i do grep sentence file.txt it comes up as red, like this: http://i.imgur.com/lpHTZHS.png -- my question is how can i get this red highlighted thing going on another system thats not ubuntu? Is it a nano specific thing? or is it something in my bash [15:10] rc? cause on that system when i do grep sentence file.txt it doesnt highlight in red. so im just trying to get the red highlight going [15:12] i guess ill just rerun the cmd to be safe [15:12] ill bb if i have issues after the fglrx cmd [15:12] stacks88: is it a grep thing maybe? ps aux | grep grep = grep --color=auto grep [15:12] ah yeah grep color didnt reealize, makes snse, thank you [15:16] OerHeks, any idea how I would be able to fix this? Basically I want to free up space but am not able to because I am out of space? [15:18] is there a kickstart channel for ubuntun ? [15:19] !kickstart | btorch [15:19] btorch: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/installation-guide/amd64/apb.html - See also !cloning [15:20] is it common for the 15.04 installer to get stuck whilke "preparing to install ubuntu"? [15:20] particularly in the "for best results, please ensure that this computer: blah blah" section [15:21] like it's stuck there doing nothing, is there a way to make it show what it's doing at all? [15:21] shingshang, i didn't encounter any errors from installing 15.04 ,maybe it's hardware related? [15:22] well I can't tell when it's just sitting there on the waiting cursor :/ [15:22] maybe it's the "download updates while installing"? === LeVov is now known as Levoc [15:22] right,what version,the 64 bit one or the 32? [15:22] 32 bit [15:23] uncheck download updates while installing and try again [15:23] but,you konow if you have other versions you can upgrade [15:23] other versions? like 14.04? [15:24] yeah [15:24] hmm, reason I'm installing 15.04 is because I couldn't get optimus graphics working on 14.04 [15:24] wellim back it told me fglrx was already installed to i ran sudo apt-get -f install --reinstall fglrx and still seeing same erros in log which can be found here http://paste.ubuntu.com/11745892/ [15:24] hmm,i see [15:25] there's conflicting information everywhere on whether optimus works or not [15:25] I thought in 2015 this whole graphics drivers issue will be gone [15:25] how wrong I was [15:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics [15:26] maybe check this thread? [15:26] thanks, that is yet another page about optimus I encountered [15:27] I'm gonna try install nvidia-prime first thing after installation finishes though [15:28] also, it's waiting for a long time yet again at the "preparing to install ubuntu: for best results blah blah blah" [15:31] so can someone help me figure out why my log is telling me im missing parts of fglrx? [15:36] shingshang, good luck :) [15:36] thanks, I'll need it [15:37] also, the ubuntu/download/desktop page says 64 bit is recommended, yet releases.ubuntu.com/vivid says that 32-bit PC is "for almost all PCs" [15:37] what is the right answer? I got an intel 4710MQ processor [15:39] http://istodaythedaymartymcflyarriveswhenhetravelstothefuture.com/ [15:40] yeah shingshang ,but how much ram do you have? [15:40] 32GB [15:40] i mean,what are your specs? [15:40] nice, 24GB here [15:40] i'd reccomend using 64bit,34 bit are for machines with low ram [15:41] yeah, use 64 bit [15:41] i mean,i'm running 64bit and i only have 6gb ram [15:41] GTX970m optimus, 4710MQ and 32GB ram with a bunch of other high-end specs I guess [15:41] only [15:41] sigh, yet another 1gb download for the 64 bit version then [15:41] reddeath68, for what ati card exactly ? lspci | grep VGA [15:41] 4790K here [15:41] 4.6 GHz [15:42] shingshang, that's neat,go ahead and try the 64 bit one :) [15:42] still only 31 C in idle [15:42] mine's a laptop though, not sure if I should overclock it [15:42] with a laptop that might be a bad idea, true [15:43] OerHeks, 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Trinity [Radeon HD 7660D] [15:43] well,your specs look preety good,there's no need to overclock it ,i think,plus side it will get hot as hell [15:43] heh, it's smack dab in the middle of winter at the moment [15:44] where are you from ? :)\ [15:44] also, I won't be running intensive programs on it, just VMware with either windows or linux to get the two OS's at the same time [15:44] Sydney [15:44] oh well,that;s understandable [15:45] hmm, installing ubuntu might be a good exercise for anger management classes [15:45] why tho? [15:45] nah, it's too easy [15:45] it's basically next next finish [15:45] i have installed ubuntu on two of my machines and i didn't have any trouble with it so far :) [15:45] I guess results vary [15:45] but it's been infuriating [15:45] it's preety straight forward [15:45] to be honest [15:46] on my desktop it was [15:46] but on this laptop, it's been nothing but hell and pain [15:46] and tears if I could shed some [15:46] what laptop is it? [15:46] a sager/clevo laptop [15:46] so that stuck during installation problem was one, the other thing I dread is trying to get the graphics drivers working [15:47] did you try the additional drivers? [15:47] I went through 14.04 earlier yesterday trying to get it to work, and the whole day was spent googling solutions [15:47] see if it finds any [15:47] yeah [15:47] it didn't recognize the graphics card [15:47] oh [15:47] apparently bumblebee screws up your installation or something [15:48] anyone who knows the correct syntax for debsums scripting one-liner for search and replace broken or missing packages?, i cant figure it, and the example in man debsums doesnt seem to work [15:48] yeah,i mean you have to use google for things but,after all it's more secure than Windows [15:48] well, amongst the many conflicting infos ranging from 1 to 3 year old [15:48] I need ubuntu for my work, so I have to get this done [15:48] right [15:48] shingshang, nvidia 970 is supported by the 343.22 driver and up http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77844/en-us [15:49] shingshang, if standard nvidia driver does not work, use xorg edgers ppa for the latest nvidia blob [15:49] OerHeks: does that mean 343.22 and newer, or only 343? [15:49] 343 and newer [15:49] oh yeah, I tried installing 352 earlier, but the nvidia installer says "graphics card not recognized" [15:50] have you tried asking on the forums/ [15:50] I'll be tyring again under 15.04, or at least try with sudo apt-get first [15:50] shingshang, where did you get that 352 driver? [15:50] askubuntu.com? I put a question there [15:50] OerHeks: nvidia.com somewhere? [15:50] something that ends with .run [15:50] ugh, never use that .run driver, go for https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [15:51] you won't get updates and any new kernel needs a reinstall of that driver, hopeless [15:51] ah right [15:51] maybe I shouldn't rely on google for ubuntu installation advice [15:53] shingshang, you should,but as there are sites where the information is true,there are also sites where the information is false :) [15:53] and that's the problem [15:53] yeah,it's preety confusing [15:54] is there such thing as paid support for ubuntu, by canonical? [15:54] i think there is for the ubuntu server but not so sure about desktop [15:54] hello, i have verson 12.04 and i need help for php5 SSL version [15:56] shingshang, yes, http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage > from 5 desktops and up [15:57] hmm, 825 pounds [15:59] i'm about to migrate from centos to ubuntu mostly because of the bells and whistles... (which i do need for some of my applications)... is this a wrong choice or do i need to wait until everything is really stable? how stable is ubuntu as a server? and how often do things break? [15:59] gagalicious: bells and whistles¿ LTS releases are very stable [16:00] gagalicious: ubuntu is fine as a server. go with the 14.04 LTS that got still 4 years support and is already stable [16:00] gagalicious, stuff is preety stable on 15.04 [16:00] or yeah,get 14.04 long term support [16:00] no no.. 14.04 only. i dont trust anything not LTS [16:00] on the other versions you need to upgrade every 6 months. so LTS is the way for servers [16:00] well i'm off..ttyl guys [16:01] OerHeks, any ideas to my fglrx problem? this is a fresh install not even a day old [16:01] but seriously, my confidence is a bit waivered... when the LTS is only two years. coz Centos 6 is til 2020.. i'm not trying to flame a war here i'm using both. ubuntu desktop and centos server... and some of my minor things are on ubuntu server. [16:02] gagalicious: you were just told 14.04 has 4 more years of support [16:02] xangua : ok. [16:03] gagalicious: LTS is 5 years support. but every 2years there is a new one. so the "old" still got 3 years support left [16:03] so you got 3 years to plan the upgrade to the next lts :) [16:04] so if one setup a kickstart to get ubuntu installed and it has it properly setup to answer everything, then one should not need any video display right ? [16:04] btorch: Correct (called preseed in the Debian-based world) [16:04] kickstarting 14.02 server an several embedded device [16:04] rypervenche: cool thanks [16:05] gagalicious: maybe this picture clears it up: http://media-cdn.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/attachments/43/13/Ubuntu-Zeitleiste_15.04.png === lepusfelix is now known as luckybunny [16:08] i've used ubuntu from 9 onwards... skipped 10 before moving to 11.04... which i've used for the past 3 years. very solid... everything between 14 and 11... i didnt use coz... flakiness as desktop. after 11, i'm back on 14.04... coz of docker... it's kind of strange since i'm from centos server background. because this server style is very strange for me. [16:09] i dont understand why odd numbers are not LTS... coz 11.04 is the most solid desktop i've come across in most ubuntu versions. [16:09] o' [16:10] i'm still using now... never breaks [16:10] gagalicious, heh, 11.04 without poodle/heartbleed fix, good choise ! [16:10] I find the same thing with 14.04 [16:11] because releasing an LTS every year would amount a lot of work for keeping the security updates and other updates in? [16:11] yeah. 14.04 is also very solid [16:11] gagalicious: 11.04 is dead long time [16:11] ok [16:12] my system would be fine if i can get my graphics drivers to work right ati is a pain [16:12] that's why i'm here... coz i'm complaining the fact that i'm upgrading all my 11.04s to 14.04s ... [16:12] reddeath68 : yeah... i know what u mean [16:12] video driver is the worst part of ubuntu [16:12] I'm afraid to ask this gagalicious, but how were you planning to upgrade them? [16:12] gagalicious: honestly: make a re-install [16:12] of linux... i mean. not ubuntu but ubuntu's the best [16:12] in terms of compatibility to graphic cards [16:13] Myrtti : through pxe booting [16:13] gagalicious: from 11.04 you need to upgrade to 11.10 then 12.04 and then lts upgrade to 14.04. so reinstall is way faster [16:13] reinstall new 14.04... then transfer all 11.04 files across [16:14] gagalicious: Dude it is the manufactures providing drivers not linux, do the research not just spew fud. [16:15] ubuntu365: yeah... but u also need to get the right version to match the right ubuntu flavour... which for NVIDIA... doesnt seem to be the case [16:15] 14.04.2 seems to be giving me more trouble then it worth with regards to graphics drivers they worked fine before the .2 stack [16:15] sigh [16:15] http://pastebin.com/7nm3zdAj what exactly does this mean? other than omg frustration [16:15] now fresh install and they still not working right [16:15] gagalicious: ubuntu ships nvidia drivers. [16:15] kll_ : 14.04 yeah.. not 11.04 i mean [16:15] reminds me why being here is more of a pain than it's worth [16:15] i meant [16:16] reddeath68: i know exactly what u mean [16:16] try telling that to ubuntu365 [16:17] JokeArt, did you get it fixed? [16:17] FierceDeityLink: apt-cache policy ppp gives you what? [16:18] checking [16:18] nope [16:18] if anyone can help me after installing fglrx i had a xorg lockup had to hard reboot(forgot to enable sysrq) and log shows 3 lines of errors [16:18] heres the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/11745892/ [16:18] k1l_, http://pastebin.com/1t00umkD [16:18] got this error : unable to open files list file for package `gvfs-libs:amd64': No such device or address [16:18] FierceDeityLink: well, for debian support better ask in #debian [16:19] oh dear [16:19] doesn't ubuntu use apt-get? [16:19] FierceDeityLink: yes, but we dont know what the debian repos want the packages to be like to work. please ask the specialists there [16:19] k1l_, they'll send me to #edgeos who will send me back here lol [16:19] lol specialists [16:20] FierceDeityLink: here is just plain wrong. please seek the proper support of your OS [16:20] lol if it were up to me i'd put gentoo on my edge router :) [16:20] oh wait...it is.... [16:21] reddeath68, same xorg log [16:21] hello [16:22] k1l_, the problem is i ran apt-get upgrade and it crashed in the middle and now it's stuck. figured i'd ask for help but i see this is one of the less friendly channels on freenode :( [16:23] hi guys is this the support channel for ubuntu? [16:23] FierceDeityLink, what cpu do you have ? [16:23] FierceDeityLink: dont tell me i wasnt friendly. i could just swing the banhammer since you are intentionally making offtopic support in here why other ubuntu users need help. so please ask the guys who can help you with that. [16:23] *while [16:24] OerHeks, yes it is im saying i dont have a solution yet after reinstalling fglrx hoping someone knows of a way to fix it [16:24] ioria, mips [16:24] FierceDeityLink, we are so friendly, that we direct you to the right support channel, as we don'tknow about debian/packages in your situation, thanks for the rant! [16:24] FierceDeityLink, that's the issue maybe [16:24] haha [16:24] its not a debian issue, its a package manager issue. the debian channel is dead and google is too [16:24] iguest iwas on the wrong room [16:24] FierceDeityLink, wrong. [16:24] iguess [16:25] FierceDeityLink, your dpkg seeks for ppp:mips [16:25] FierceDeityLink: we already explained this. now please seek the proper supportchannel for this non ubuntu OS issue. thanks [16:26] reddeath68, maybe you want/need to enable HWE, not sure about that.

[17:00] grinchier: chmodding via groups primarily, the old school method, didn't know if anything new was introduced [17:01] so chmod 700? don't think so [17:07] Dresk: i'm reading about this program called jailkit? [17:07] maybe something worth a look [17:07] Taking a look-see [17:08] Dresk: just normal, boring, everyday permissions should suffice? If not, what are you trying to prevent beyond that? [17:08] Flannel: Ah just looking to make it easier, I mean really I think most people agree users shouldn't have RO to other user folders, didn't know if any modern programs were starting to streamline this [17:08] hello all, I accidentally deleted all images in my /boot. I cant update and upgrade the images since there is a dependency missing between my current version and the available one. any ideas? [17:10] Dresk: rbash is another option, but many users report ways to bash through it lol [17:10] Dresk: What doesn't suffice about normal permissions? [17:10] Flannel: Normal permissions work fine, but I goof up plenty in doing them [17:11] there is a little tutorial on jailkit here http://askubuntu.com/questions/93411/simple-easy-way-to-jail-users [17:13] "ailkit is a set of utilities that can limit user accounts to a specific directory tree and to specific commands. Setting up a jail is much easier using the Jailkit utilities that doing so 'by hand'. A jail is a directory tree that you create within your file system; the user cannot see any directories or files that are outside the jail directory. The user is jailed in that directory and it subdirectories."

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt === newbie is now known as Guest34297 [17:57] maybe the video or sound driver, or low end hardware [17:58] compdoc: If the video is in the same resolution? Why could it be? [17:59] compdoc: Never though about the sound driver. The hardware is a toshiba laptop l305d s5897 with 4 gb or ram and dual core amd processor [18:01] necs: html5 usually plays much better then flash for certain sites [18:01] grinchier: Ita youtube but i cant get 720p with html5 [18:02] I found package "libgd2-xpm" in precise but I run trusty [18:02] necs It all depends on the videocard, ATI Radeon X1250 is very old ( if i am correct that is what your machine got) [18:04] Hi, I am trying to install ubuntu 13.10 rarring on my nexus 7, but I am facing problems.

After creating the image I try to use resizsefs both from the command line but also from gparted and it will not let me shrink it down (rootfs) there is only about 1.3 gigs of data on the rootfs. not sure why it is saying that the min size is 2.7 gigs [18:13] hhhh [18:16] jimcornette: Can you show us the exact command(s) you're using and the output in a oastebin please?

I'm not going to be able to help from my phone. [18:21] Beck, sudo apt-get install [18:21] anyone ever had this weird pulsing in wine, its happening to a few games that i use wine for, since i swapped [18:21] ProstheticS, that would be a wine issue, #winehq [18:23] I found package "libgd2-xpm" in precise but I run trusty [18:24] I need this package to run a game I found online [18:24] Here is gparted error http://i.imgur.com/pAYRTHM.png http://i.imgur.com/201bhva.png [18:26] !info libgd2-xpm-dev trusty [18:26] libgd2-xpm-dev (source: libgd2): GD Graphics Library (transitional package).

I forgot my password on an ubuntu 14.04 machine, I tried booting into recovery, but instead of showing the recovery menu, it just goes into the login screen normally (?), are there any other boot options i can set in order to reset my password? [18:31] this channel is much less active than I remember it being back in 'the day'. [18:32] em: maybe this just means that less peopel are having problems with ubuntu? :-) Although this is kinda -offtopic [18:32] O_Andrew, you should enter grub with shift ... it's Ubu the only OS ? [18:34] !password | O_Andrew [18:34] O_Andrew: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [18:34] DJJeff: this is a little bit experimental so don't just take my word for it but depending on its dependencies you could try getting the package manually from the website it is on.. probably looks like package-name.deb and then use: sudo dpkg -i on it [18:37] hello [18:37] muslims [18:37] ramadaaaaan [18:37] alahuekber [18:37] ĆĆ [18:37] !ot > osman [18:37] osman, please see my private message [18:37] rypervenche, appending init=/bin/bash into the boot options did the trick! Thank you! [18:42] obrien: btw, it was an ubuntu issue , which ive fixed now. you shouldnt just see the word wine and assume that its a wine fault so they should deal [18:42] but regardless, im just happy my problems fixed :D [18:45] ProstheticS, you kept mentioning wine. if you want better answers, please supply better !details [18:48] I just finished setup a PXE server and a PXE client in VMs. My PXE server also host a DHCP server that works for all devices in my house (they have internet access). However, while all the network settings of the PXE client (ip, router's ip, dns servers, etc.) seems accurate, it cannot access external websites (but see all the devices in the int [18:48] ernal network). Not sure if it is relevant, but since DHCP discovery is done before boot, I have set NetworkManager so that it does not try to manage my network connection. Any idea on how to allow my clients to access internet? [18:48] is there any way to disable these "system program problem detected" windows? [18:49] clear /var/crash [18:49] but what if /var/crash gets repopulated again [18:50] with the same error ? [18:50] clear it [18:50] yeah, gnome-panel crashes every now and then it seems [18:50] Hi, I am trying to install ubuntu 13.10 rarring on my nexus 7, but I am facing problems.

[18:53] ioria: I have no idea what you're talking about [18:53] bunty, join #ubuntu-touch for nexus support [18:53] shingshang, you can create a new user or you can try the guest account ... to test if the problem is related to your personal settings [18:54] On ubuntu 14.04, the process/service manager is upstart, correct? [18:54] OerHeks: I had ubuntu touch but no support for RTSP so trying ubunut desktop on tablet [18:54] bunty, this is with mutli rom and super su ? [18:55] IE dual and triple boot ? [18:55] quad boot haveever many boots you want that is. [18:55] how * [18:56] Hi guys, I have installed Ubuntu 14. But My ubuntu keeps displaying me that "System program problem detected. Send report?" Can anyone tell me how can i fix it? I have good internet connection and i can install anything from the Repositories. But i need to know what is the problem. [18:57] amanthakur: Which Ubuntu 14 - 14.04 or 14.10? [18:57] 14.04 LTS [18:57] bekks, 14.04 LTS [19:00] bekks, is there a way to repair my ubuntu installation with CD/DVD or Pen drive? I can use the Internet. [19:00] amanthakur: did you install all the updates from the repository already? [19:01] BuzzardBuzz, The update daemon is crashing. === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [19:02] BuzzardBuzz, the window says "It seems daemon died" [19:02] if i were you i would check the install media and you might need to reinstall [19:02] BuzzardBuzz, can i do that without CD/DVD? [19:03] BuzzardBuzz, can i do that without CD/DVD or without pen drive? [19:03] yes you can use a flash drive [19:03] can i do it from the internet? [19:03] what media did you install from? === FoodHuntVov is now known as NommingVov [19:04] it was a pen drive [19:04] 1.8 gb only [19:04] i think that's the problem that it might need a bigger pen drive [19:04] but i have only 1.8gb [19:05] let me hand you a larger drive, you can borrow it for a time [19:05] unless you use the mini ISO, 4GB minimum for live system on pen drive [19:06] 1.1 gb, the iso is not that big [19:06] OerHeks says you are fine! [19:06] BuzzardBuzz, thanks but i'll buy it later :) [19:07] cool [19:07] OerHeks, can i install from Mini ISO and convert that installation to the ubuntu desktop??? [19:10] if install a file using make install how do i uninstall it? [19:10] there is no make uninstall file [19:11] amanthakur, do you know how to use tasksel ? [19:11] gambl0re, run make uninstall [19:11] amanthakur, sure, the mini iso gives a text menu to install any desktop [19:11] run command not found [19:11] gambl0re: If there's no "make uninstall", then I suspect you're knackered [19:12] OerHeks: the mini iso of ubutu gives a choice of desktops? [19:12] em yes [19:13] yeah it uses tasksel I think lol [19:13] OerHeks, i just checked the pen drive using the Check For Error option from the grub. And it has issues. [19:13] ricky@vbox:~/Downloads/watchman$ sudo make uninstall [19:13] ( cd '//usr/local/bin' && rm -f watchman ) [19:13] ( cd '//usr/local/share/doc/watchman-3.2.0' && rm -f README.markdown ) [19:13] gambl0re, check the Makefile... should be a target 'uninstall', if not you have to track the make install and remove the files by hand, maybe with a script [19:13] OerHeks: does it also let you set up full disk encryption? [19:13] jimcornette, nopes sorry [19:13] does that mean i just delete the folders manually? [19:13] em, i don't know that [19:14] if it is part of the desktop installer, i think so, but not sure. [19:14] ( cd '//usr/local/share/doc/watchman-3.2.0' && rm -f README.markdown ) [19:14] ricky@vbox:~/Downloads/watchman$ sudo make uninstall [19:14] ( cd '//usr/local/bin' && rm -f watchman ) [19:14] ( cd '//usr/local/share/doc/watchman-3.2.0' && rm -f README.markdown ) [19:15] how do I format my 32GB usb drive so that windows 7 can read / write to it? [19:15] gambl0re, please use paste.ubuntu.com [19:15] does that mean i just remove the folders manually? [19:15] ubuntu 14.04 here [19:15] blib format with windows 7 [19:15] OerHeks: windows 7 only sees the 32GB drive as 2.15MB [19:16] what do those lines mean? [19:16] blib: In that case, you need to speak to MS support [19:17] blib: Ubuntu can't format in a way that Windows can see extra beyond what it believes [19:19] blib could be a fake usb drive from china too [19:19] or just broken [19:20] i see a bunch of crackers in here... [19:23] oooooooo, racist remark [19:23] gambl0re: Generally, if you install something manually, the best support option is to go to the people who provided the software, #ubuntu won't know what changes/damage the software has done [19:24] i fixed it thanks.. [19:26] hi thought you all might appreciate this cute story [19:26] my mum i installed linux on her computer like 5 years ago [19:26] anyhow she gets scammers calling her phone pretending to be ms reps telling her she has a virus [19:27] and she tells them i'm not using windows i'm using linux so how can i have a virus [19:27] and then they hanged up on her [19:27] another cute story for y'all [19:27] lol [19:28] +1 [19:28] when i went home i saw a hd in the garden in a pot full of water and like pond lillies [19:28] hardrive [19:28] and i asked her [19:28] why she did that [19:28] ielo, for storytelling join #ubuntu-offtopic please [19:28] ielo tell that story in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:28] and she said she wanted to destroy the information on it [19:28] ok sorry [19:28] im done [19:28] destroy all software..

Installed it in EFI mode, and opted to encrypt the os disk. Now I'm using a lenovo keyboard, but it seems the hid-lenovo module isn't loaded when asking for a passphrase. How could I add that? I thought I should use update-initramfs, but that seems to be different with EFI? [19:52] Any DWM users here? I tried freshly patching dwm6.0 with pango, but when I set the font to my powerline one it doesnt render anything, do I need pango AND xft patches?

[22:22] daftykins: I rebooted, no bootable media was found. I'm now in a liveboot of ubuntu. [22:23] thebot: No I cannot. [22:23] mach20x: that could easily be a hardware problem not something wrong with ubuntu so ##hardware might get you better results [22:23] thebot: bios says no bootable media found. [22:23] Does a boot from recovery mode keep we in a full root mode status? [22:23] In Ubuntu 15.04 [22:24] mach20x: if you get to were it say recovery mode it does post you are at the bootloader [22:24] hmm...I would say [22:24] No it isn't now [22:24] fdisk -l does show, I *think* what essentially was being used as windows' swap partition still being there? It's a 128MB partition that is type "microsoft reserved" [22:24] that's on /dev/sda1. [22:24] But before this happened I was using recovery mode [22:25] iamthellama: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo parted l | pastebinit [22:25] what does fdisk -l show, does it show the drive and the partitions? [22:25] iamthellama: that is not even vaguely swap. [22:25] Is there a 32-bit version of Dolphin Emulator available for Ubuntu? [22:26] this is fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/ZfWSHNt1 [22:27] hello all [22:27] I'm asking so that I can rule out the possibility that it is a bit of malicious logic that ran to Fry my BIOS while in root mode (assuming full root after boot from recovery mode) [22:27] daftykins: does it matter? I'm not sure what windows uses it for, you get the idea. [22:28] daftykins: got an error trying to install pastebinit "Error: Could not stat device l - No such file or directory." [22:28] liveboot problem? [22:30] Again, does anyone know if full root privileges carry after a boot from recovery mode?

[22:34] zorlac: 127.0.0.1 is within the loopback range, so search one the function of loopback for your irc client [22:34] daftykins: No, heavy duty dell, dual hard drives in place of cd drive [22:34] On now one [22:34] Not not now [22:35] Hate my phone sometimes “damn autocorrect”:-P [22:35] iamthellama: power off, remove mains power + battery, jab the power button a few times, then reassemble and boot back in and repeat the sudo parted -l [22:35] daftykins: for what it's worth, the installer said my preexisting install seemed to not be UEFI. Not sure if it knew what is was talking about. It's a standard windows 8.1 install, can't imagine why it wouldn't be UEFI. That said, I followed its instructions and clicked the checkbox it offered me accordingly. [22:35] daftykins: I'll do it, but can I ask why that would change anything? [22:35] not before hand, no :) [22:36] daftykins: tjat [22:36] daftykins: that's super inconvenient, I'd really rather not do that if it's not for a good reason. I've rebooted twice, I don't see why stronger powercycling should change anything.... [22:37] you have two choices, sit there with a broken install not making progress... or try it. [22:37] i fail to see how it's inconvenient to power off a system that's not working. === nopf_ is now known as nopf [22:39] daftykins: Why can't you just explain your reasoning? It is inconvient for several reasons. I have four cables hooked into this computer as part of a multi monitor setup. I have several windows open and am trying to problem solve this in several ways. I have had to use one of my backup codes for two factor authentication because I don't have a wor [22:39] king phone at the moment, making that process a pain. To use my browser as a phone, i had to install the voice plugin and restart firefox. Etc. [22:40] i want to see the SATA controllers reset. [22:40] I'm trying to upgrade xubuntu 14.04 to 15.04 but after issuing the command "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" I get a "ConnectionResetError: (Errno 104) Connection reset by peer" [22:40] daftykins: that's kind of a longshot, you think I experienced a hardware failure? [22:41] the disk isn't showing, either you share a dmesg and we stare at some SATA port detection errors and go "hrmm i wonder why it's not talking..." which leads to the suggestion of just doing as i instructed anyway :) [22:41] anyway your call, we can talk about it until the cows come home and go to university, or take action :) === grubles_ is now known as grubles === grubles is now known as Guest78614 [22:43] <[almark]> trivia like sata cables correctly pluged in?

[22:45] daftykins: yeah, you bet. I do have some dmesg errors, if you are interested. http://pastebin.com/n29nsz3z [22:45] not until the above is done [22:45] you see, those are SATA link resets due to having issues talking to the drive [22:45] so.. as suggested the controllers need a reset which = total power down [22:45] :) [22:46] daftykins: I have never heard of this. I'm truly baffled how taking the battery out and cutting all power could affect the SATA ports. Are you telling me they have some kind of state memory of their own or something? [22:47] for the love of Tux you said this was an emergency, will you just go and do it already? [22:47] iamthellama what daftykins suggsts, resets your pc [22:47] daftykins: -_- fine. [22:51] I've got Utopic Unicorn on a laptop, and while most of the -function keys- seem to do what they say (the volume keys, in particular), the brightness keys don't--IIRC, pressing the brightness-down key suspends the system and pressing the brightness-up key does nothing. [22:52] (Those two keys are alternately F2 and F3) [22:53] I'm looking under Settings -> Keyboard, and I see that most of the not-really-function keys here, but I don't see anything for brightness [22:54] hey for some odd reason i keep having problems with my computer recovering from hibernation or the such... the mouse will appear but the screen will remain black other than that. If i go into tty and run the startx it does not seem to start the xserver [22:55] daftykins: Hi. [22:55] daftykins: gparted shows nothing different. [22:56] ...oh, no, I take that back. The toggle-wifi and toggle-trackpad keys don't do anything, either. [22:56] i don't care about that program, logs please - starting with dmesg [22:57] daftykins: http://pastebin.com/2JukfWyP [22:57] I still have the swap on but the swappiness is turned down to 10 due to I know if i turn it off it wont sleep properly [22:58] problem is that i am loosing progress on stuff when it goes to sleep and wont wake up... lost about 90 lines of code last time. [22:58] because the swap space is where it sleeps. [22:58] Jamie_1: Safe your code regularly. [22:58] bekks: i know that... that is why i only turned it down instead of off [22:59] bekks: I know... I need to make better habit of that [22:59] Jamie_1: get an editor that autosaves or uses swapfiles. :) [22:59] Moonlightning: I use sublime [23:00] but my thing is, is there a way to fix this or find the cause [23:00] Es klappt einfach nicht, er mountet sich einfach nicht [23:00] iamthellama: and you absolutely disconnected every single cable, the adapter... every battery... etc? [23:00] How do I show missing files? [23:00] Sorry wrong chenell [23:00] frant: Missing file where? [23:01] frant: In what context? Command line, graphical file browser...? [23:01] frant if you mean hidden file: ctrl h [23:01] oh and it keeps constantly giving me the messages of an internal error has occurred [23:01] daftykins: unplugged both monitors, usb keyboard, power, removed battery completely, let it sit, hit power button several times, let it sit, and then replugged everything and restarted. [23:02] not missing, hidden [23:02] ctrl+h [23:02] iamthellama: ok, so presumably Windows absolutely doesn't work either? :) system doesn't find a boot disk at all? === JeDa is now known as Guest9994 === gr33n7007h is now known as al2o3-cr [23:03] daftykins: doesn't even try to boot. Total failure. No boot disk. Bootable list shows nothing other than this usb drive. [23:03] iamthellama: funky, alright power off, remove both disks, put the disk that's storage only to one side - then put the OS disk inside where the storage only disk is and boot the live session again [23:04] any suggestions on what to do about my computer not waking properly [23:05] Jamie_1: are you using any proprietary drivers? e.g. for graphics? [23:05] i am using the nvidia... let me check which one... [23:05] with which card and/or chip? [23:06] daftykins: So you're saying to remove the 1TB, and take the non-responsive SSD and stick it where the 1TB is right now, and then boot up and come back here? [23:06] iamthellama: yep. ah SSD, which model? [23:06] iamthellama: oh and make sure you're booting up with none of that extra junk plugged in - try with the bare minimum [23:07] daftykins: OCZ ARC 100 240GB SSD 2.5" [23:07] daftykins: for the sake of making dmesg easier to read? [23:07] no for whether i'm familiar with SSDs that've had firmware issues [23:08] oh for the unplugging [23:08] yes [23:08] when you're troubleshooting you run the simplest config possible [23:08] daftykins: NVIDIA binary driver - verion 304.125 [23:08] Jamie_1: yep and device?

I was using the x.org nouveau drivers [23:15] I try to avoid the 331 drivers from nvidia due to a bug about it not working right currently === musgravejw is now known as tractatus [23:16] not heard of that one [23:16] daftykins: I'm back. [23:16] but there is 331 and 331-updates [23:16] its open sourced [23:16] got errors on ata2 instead of ata this time. [23:16] Jamie_1: what is? [23:16] So it's the drive, not the SATA port. [23:16] the nouveau drivers [23:16] iamthellama: mmhmm, wouldn't hurt to try in another system [23:16] daftykins: also if you dont mind me asking... since the topic came up... what i a great newish not to expensive laptop that will work great with ubuntu [23:17] daftykins: what do you mean? [23:17] Jamie_1: no i know what nouveau is lol, i meant the alleged bug [23:17] iamthellama: the SSD... [23:17] Jamie_1: sorry i don't do shopping, that's a topic for #ubuntu-offtopic [23:17] daftykins: Why? Didn't we just demonstrate that the problem is very clearly the drive, not the port? [23:17] one sec it can give you the link... and it has never really worked for me... always caused problems [23:18] iamthellama: you're not hugely open minded on this topic are you? :) [23:18] daftykins: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1431753 [23:18] Ubuntu bug 1431753 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu Trusty) "Nvidia binary driver FTBS due to DKMS layer violation" [Undecided,Triaged] [23:18] iamthellama: would you not want to try all the easy things within your reach before labelling some hardware dead 0o [23:18] daftykins: are you suggested the hard drive was bricked? I didn't realize that was the only possible interpretation. [23:19] i'm not assuming at all [23:19] i'm suggesting _confirmation_ :) [23:19] anyway, you know what to do now [23:19] daftykins: That's rather optimistic of you. But anyways, you're saying if it doesn't show up as readable in another computer, that means it is bricked? [23:19] at least I shared my storry there thenks for guiding me. I hope someone reads it at that offtoic channel [23:19] yep then you can arrange the funeral [23:20] daftykins: how the fuck did a standard ubuntu install partition attempt do this?! That's infuriating! [23:20] don't use that language in here. [23:20] also, who says Ubuntu is to blame? [23:20] maybe it was just timing. [23:20] OCZ SSD's are pretty notoriously terrible [23:21] daftykins: You're overstretching. They made some flawed ones years ago, this particular SSD, which I researched before I bought, was known to be reliable, well made, and fast. And Occam's razor definitely suggest that isn't a coincidence. [23:21] daftykins: this is cut and dry, I tried to partition it, it threw up a ton of errors during its attempt to partition, and now it is bricked. How that could be interpreted any other way is beyond me. [23:21] iamthellama: oh and how many have you dealt with? :) [23:22] bear in mind here that i have no alliegance to ubuntu as i don't even use it [23:22] so i care not what the culprit was, really [23:22] anywho, problem isolated [23:22] iamthellama: daftykins I recently went round and round with ATA errors . Come to find out it ws my boot code(s) at fault. I got my grubs correct and that did resolve the ATA error conditioins. Your case, does the firmware even see the hard drives in the set up utility ? [23:23] Bashing-om: mmm, i probably would've been tempted by a BIOS/EFI update [23:23] thanks for the help daftykins... if that does not solve the problem I will come back at another time [23:23] np [23:23] how can I test my swap is working right? [23:24] daftykins: I don't rely on my own personal anecdotal experience to determine the reliability of a brand, I look up what's said online. How many I've dealt with doesn't really seem relevant. I've dealt with many SSDs, though, if that's what you mean, and this is one of the better ones I've dealt with, if not the best. [23:24] Bashing-om: so are you saying reinstalling grub fixed it? [23:25] Bashing-om: I'm not sure; I guess I should check to see if it's identified with bios in the bios menu? Is that what you're asking? [23:26] iamthellama: whatever you say :) [23:26] iamthellama: daftykins Has the lead here .. With the ATA error . My situation was corrected by getting all my grubs in-line ( I do multi boot and have multiple grubs).
