logan0405Same with two finger tapping00:00
RemobothTJ- -  Permission denied. :|00:00
TJ-Remoboth: You'll need super-user privileges to alter system files. How about this? "  P="/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/firewire"; sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/$P && sudo mv $P/*.ko /usr/local/$P  "00:01
TJ-Remoboth: that moves the files to the same path under "/usr/local/"00:01
RemobothTJ- -  It worked!00:03
adam__genewitch, the default DM or another?00:03
shingshangwhat could it possibly mean if I can't ctrl+alt+f1 on the login screen (it's all black)?00:03
RemobothTJ- -  Would you happen to know the command line entry I would use to blacklist the driver you suggested earlier?00:03
TJ-Remoboth: now you need to unload the modules that might be in memory. First check if they are with "lsmod | grep firewire"00:03
shingshangI've just purged the nvidia drivers, so it looks like it's not nvidia afte rall00:03
logan0405Just set FingerLow to 1 & High to 2... Wouldn't expect to need that high of sensitivity but it works now00:04
adam__shingshang, it could be that the driver has an invalid setting for the framebuffer. nvidia?00:04
genewitchadam__: default00:04
TJ-Remoboth: If you see modules listed then, for each, do "sudo rmmod <module-name>"00:05
shingshangadam__: yeah, but I just purged all the nvidia driver though00:05
wallonalguem do brasil?00:05
TJ-Remoboth: always remove modules that have 0 dependencies first. Any module with something depending on it cannot be unloaded from memory.00:05
RemobothTJ- -  Returned... firewire_ohci          40409  000:06
Remobothfirewire_core          68769  1 firewire_ohci00:06
Remobothcrc_itu_t              12707  1 firewire_core00:06
TJ-shingshang: have you tried starting with the kernel command-line option "nomodeset" ?00:06
shingshangTJ-: how do I get there?00:06
TJ-Remoboth: So remove firewire_ohci first which will no longer depend on firewire_core so you can remove it too00:06
TJ-!nomodeset | shingshang00:07
ubottushingshang: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter00:07
Ranieri_Hey guys. I have a GUI application on my Mac (Rosetta Stone) and I want to access it remotely on my Ubuntu laptop.00:07
genewitchRanieri_: with sound?00:07
wallonalguem teria ai um link de aulas sobre XUBUNTU?00:07
Ranieri_genewitch: Yea, sound, images, and if possible, microphone.00:07
tonytwhat ever allon said00:08
shingshangTJ-: thanks will try that00:08
RemobothTJ- -  O.k. Both have been removed. WHat next?00:08
TJ-!pt | wallon00:08
ubottuwallon: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada.00:08
TJ-Remoboth: nothing, you've unloaded them modules and moved them so they can't be loaded00:08
RemobothTJ- -  Much obliged!00:09
BigJif I have an encrypted disk could it affect the suspend process?00:10
psusiBigJ, suspend to ram?  no00:10
TJ-BigJ: Not for suspend, but possibly for Hibernate00:10
BigJI can't get my system to wake from suspend00:11
genewitchRanieri_:  Remmina Remote Desktop Client?00:11
genewitchRanieri_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleRemoteDesktop00:11
TJ-Remoboth: in case the kernel gets updated you should also blacklist those 2 modules as per the link I gave you earlier00:11
genewitchRanieri_: no idea about sound though, 90% of search results are connecting to ubuntu from mac so i'm not sure if the sound stacks are compatible even00:11
Ranieri_genewitch: Sounds familiar. I'll do some research, thanks.00:12
TJ-Remoboth: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Loadable_Modules#Blacklisting_Modules00:12
Ranieri_genewitch: yeah :'(00:12
shingshangTJ-: that nomodeset page has broken image links all over, is it just me?00:12
TJ-shingshang: I think it's just you... are you behind a proxy maybe?00:13
shingshangnot really, but there's a lot of click and discover imageshack links00:14
shingshangwhich I assume means it's broken?00:14
shingshangugh, this might be hopeless, and I might have to reinstall my os after all00:15
RemobothTJ- -  I am trying to edit the blacklist document but I am not sure how to save it...00:16
RemobothIT opened up in the command line terminal.00:16
TJ-Remoboth: if you're using Ubuntu you might feel more comfortable using a GUI text editor. Try "gksudo gedit" which will run 'gedit' as the super-user so you can open/save system files00:16
genewitchmy mouse isn't interacting with desktop windows in ubuntu 15.04; i can't click on firefox and bring it to foreground, or right click, or move windows, resize, etc. it does interact with the menu (i.e. launch firefox or open the home menu, right clicking for contextual). Default DM/WM.00:18
=== Uname-a is now known as uname
adam__genewitch, let's make sure the mouse buttons are registering. your issue is rather odd. open a terminal and run   xev      then move the mouse cursor inside the box (you'll see a LOT of output scrolling by, ignore that) then click. does the click register an output?00:21
RemobothTJ- -  So I would just add " blacklist firewire_ohci " and " blacklist firewire_core " to the blacklist.config document and close it out?00:21
zakedodeadshould ctrl+space minimize windows on 14.04? I'm on cinnamon but I can't find it under settings-->keyboard-->shortcuts00:21
zakedodeadannoying as hell in games00:21
adam__genewitch, bear in mind that xev will display a huge chunk of data for each pixel move of the mouse, so the slightest movement while clicking may fire off a stream of them00:21
TJ-Remoboth: Yes00:22
genewitchadam__: no there's no scrolling00:23
Waldeinsamkeitok00:23
Waldeinsamkeitbacked up home00:24
adam__genewitch, sounds like either the mouse is broken or not sending signals to the OS00:24
adam__here's a classic:  jiggle the cord00:24
genewitchadam__: the mouse works fine on the left side of the screen and the like top right. the middle it's not doing anything00:24
Waldeinsamkeitnow how do i update00:24
Waldeinsamkeitlol00:24
Waldeinsamkeitnot doing anything in the middle00:24
genewitchthe desktop area00:24

Waldeinsamkeitim at saucy00:26
Waldeinsamkeiti want to be at the latest lts00:26
genewitchis that 14.04?00:27
RemobothFinal issue... I have a game called "Criticalmass" listed in my start menu list that I thought I Deleted... THe problem is that no matter how many times I try to delete the icon it pops up again in " /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications "00:27
Waldeinsamkeituhh whats the command to check?00:27
genewitchadam__: i rebooted and it went aaway00:27
RemobothWhat can I do to finally delete this fucking application?00:27
genewitch!lts00:27
ubottuLTS 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)00:27
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/upgrade-ubuntu-13-10-saucy-to-ubuntu-14-04-trusty/ i usually follow a guide like this00:28
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: works on all my personal stuff00:28
Waldeinsamkeiti want vivid veret00:29
Waldeinsamkeithow do you find what current version your on00:29
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: you have to go one version at a time00:29
Waldeinsamkeityep00:29
RemobothFinal issue... I have a game called "Criticalmass" listed in my start menu list that I thought I Deleted... THe problem is that no matter how many times I try to delete the icon it pops up again in " /home/USERNAME/.local/share/applications "00:29
RemobothWhat can I do to finally delete this fucking application?00:29
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: in a terminal cat /etc/*release*00:29
Waldeinsamkeityeah im at 13.1000:29
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: follow that guide and reboot00:29
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: that will put you on latest LTS. then just do it again. that will be 14.10. then reboot. then do it again, that will be 15.04.00:30
Waldeinsamkeitok.00:30
adam__Remoboth, this won't fix the root cause, but you might be able to get rid of the menu entry by chmod 0 /the/file  instead of rm00:30
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: you may need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to change "Prompt=" to  normal00:31
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: but perhaps it already =normal00:31
Remobothadam__ -  Damn. DIdn't work.00:32
Waldeinsamkeitumm how?00:32
nicekiwi__ANyone know how to add %postinstall script files to the Ubuntu Server ISO?00:32
Waldeinsamkeitgenewitch, ?00:32
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades00:32
adam__Remoboth, after chmodding it, you'll want to restart the DM. something like  sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart00:32
genewitchthe last line says "Prompt=normal"?00:32
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: ^00:32
adam__Remoboth, replace lightdm with whatever you're using00:32
adam__Remoboth, it'll close everything, so save any work you have going00:33
Jakethepythonhello room00:34
genewitchdo LTS upgrade kernels as often? that's my only complaint about ubuntu, really, recompiling all my userspace drivers :-(00:34
genewitchkernel drivers, userspace, whatever.00:34
adam__genewitch, those are supposed to resolve themselves, really. as in they should auto-rebuild on each kernel upgrade. external/binary drivers tend to mess with it, but there's a solution for that somewhere. a weekend project for you, perhaps00:36
adam__i use intel stuff on my ubuntu's, but my arch has nvidia which auto-rebuilds on kernel upgrades00:36
genewitchadam__: virtualbox drivers don't :-/ at least i always have to do it by hand00:37
adam__ah yeah i do run into that every damn time  haha00:37
Anonomoushey guys can anyone tell me how to edit the grub 2 boot screen. ubuntu is at the top followed by a mem test then the win 32 option. id like to have win 32,ubuntu then the mem test listed in that otrder. what file do iedit to do this ?00:37
adam__i wonder about a post-apt-get hook00:37
shingshangis there any particular reason why "Preparing to Install Ubuntu" part of the installation takes a long time?00:37
genewitchAnonomous: /boot/grub/grub.cfg00:38

SaviorXstaging repository updates it to 3.1600:38
adam__shingshang, it's loading a lot of files, and if your box has poor i/o performance it can take awhile00:38
genewitchpoor is relative, usually it's the CDROM fault00:39
shingshangadam__: how long is a while though? It's a brand new laptop I just got a few days ago00:39
shingshang14.04 installed fine a few days ago, and now trying 15.04, it's stuck here00:39
genewitchshingshang: what are you installing from00:39
shingshangUSB00:39
genewitchprobably USB is slow00:39
Jakethepythoni am trying to set up a Domain server on Ubuntu what is the best method of doing this...i want my server to serve 2 purposes. 1 is to have users that work with windows. 2) have storage for some other stuff00:39
shingshangwhat time frame are we talking about? It's been 2-3 minutes00:39
zakedodeadis there a way other than settings->keyboard to edit keyboard combinations?00:40
genewitchshingshang: updating from 14.10 to 15.04 took ~4 hours on my machine00:40
zakedodeadctrl+space minimizes windows and its annoying in games00:40
shingshanggenewitch: this is just one page of the installer though00:40
shingshangand it's not even into the partition page yet00:40
genewitchshingshang: i'd say 15 minutes00:40
YaMoonSunI had to apply a patch to my wireless driver to get it working because the version provided by the manufacturer's site isn't supported past kernel 2.x; I had it running on 3.13, but after my system upgraded to 3.16 I can't use it. Can I downgrade my kernel?00:40
genewitchis the USB drive blinking, shingshang?00:40
shingshangthere's no lights on the USB00:41

genewitchAnonomous: actually you're supposed to edit stuff in /etc, but i don't know what files, looks like /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub00:45
YaMoonSunNot to my knowledge, but I'll check it out here in a sec00:45
Waldeinsamkeithell yueah!!00:46
Waldeinsamkeitfrick00:46
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: wat00:46
WaldeinsamkeitAn unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade.00:47
Waldeinsamkeitnop00:47
Waldeinsamkeitnvm00:47
Waldeinsamkeitwhy can't i upgrade to 14.04?00:47
WaldeinsamkeitUGH!00:47
PokjiuhgtrcdIs secureboot available on Ubuntu now?00:47
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: you need the do-release-upgrade thing00:48
Waldeinsamkeithow?00:48
Waldeinsamkeitplease how?00:48
adam__Waldeinsamkeit, we copied your home directory so you could do a fresh installation instead of upgrading. upgrading will be a major pain, and you'll get done a lot quicker by fresh installing00:48
adam__you got your home directory copied over to a new drive now, yes?00:49
=== NotANick_ is now known as NotANick
Waldeinsamkeityes00:49
Waldeinsamkeitohh ok.00:49
Waldeinsamkeityes00:49
adam__so now unplug the drive with the copy (just to be sure the installation leaves it alone) and do a fresh installation00:49
Waldeinsamkeitumm00:50
adam__then we can plug the drive back in and copy /home/ back over to the new installation00:50
Waldeinsamkeitbest way to do a fresh instal>00:50
adam__and you wont have to re-download all the steam stuff00:50
Waldeinsamkeityes00:50
Waldeinsamkeitmy copy speed is ten times faster then my dl speed00:50
Waldeinsamkeitwhat do i download?00:50
adam__the image/iso of the version you want to upgrade to would be best00:50
Waldeinsamkeitok00:51
Waldeinsamkeitwhats the latest version of ubonto i can install00:51
Waldeinsamkeitwith out more bugs then now?00:51
genewitch15.0400:51
Waldeinsamkeitohh00:51
genewitch14.04 is lts00:51
adam__if you don't upgrade often due to a slow connection, i'd recommend going with an LTS00:51
Anonomousgenewitch: thx00:52
Waldeinsamkeithow to know if 32 bit or 54 bit00:52
Waldeinsamkeiti can torront things quite fast00:52
adam__and when you do the fresh installation, be sure that /home/  is on it's own partition. then next time you won't need a second drive. you can just plug the fresh installation into the existing /home/ partition00:52
Waldeinsamkeitcan i leave my steam files on that harddrive?00:53
adam__Waldeinsamkeit, go with 32 if you aren't sure; it's compatible with both00:53
Waldeinsamkeitwell i have a very new mother board and cpu00:53
adam__Waldeinsamkeit, you can if you'd like. you can run linux on one drive, and your /home/ partition on another00:53
Waldeinsamkeitim sure theres a way to check00:53
adam__you'll get a bit better performance that way too00:53
genewitchWaldeinsamkeit: 99% sure you want 64 bit00:54
adam__Waldeinsamkeit,  uname -a00:54
genewitchyou can check with that tho00:54
Waldeinsamkeitsame00:54
genewitchyou only need 32 bit these days for specific reasons (like 512MB ram instances or whatever)00:54
genewitchor old software00:54
Waldeinsamkeituhhh00:55
Waldeinsamkeitthat says im 3200:55
adam__heh  well perhaps y'all, but i like these old machines i have laying around. i kind of forget where the rest of the world is00:55

cliff1245I need to share 60GB of data with a number of remote people and would like to set up some way for them to download it from an ubuntu server that I have installed in a VM sitting in my DMZ.  Does anyone have any suggestions on which application to use to serve the files?  I was thinking I could create a website or use ftp.

adam__oh man we got a storm brewing over here. may get booted offline. i'm catching up on old mesg now01:11
cliff1245It's unknown. I was recommended to try sftp?01:11
genewitchcliff1245: i mean you can write a bash script that is a CGI for like lighttpd or something, you give out a URL, that adds a firewall rule to the DMZ ftpd server. but really01:11
genewitchcliff1245: you want to restrict by IP01:11

genewitchBashing-om: thank you sir01:12
genewitchAnonomous: you're probably using grub201:12
Anonomousgenewitch: yeup01:12
zykotick9Bashing-om: actually, i think customizing the menu requires editing /etc/grub.d/ files...01:12
zykotick9^ recalls it being a big PITA...01:13
genewitchit's just re-arranging it. really, what he wants is to change the default entry01:13
Anonomousahh its not /edit its /etc01:13
genewitchhe wants windows to be the default entry01:13
zykotick9genewitch: oh, just setting one entry as default is easy, and in Bashing-om's suggested /etc/grub/grub.cfg01:14
Bashing-omzykotick9: Most of the time .. but for the menu entry one can set it in "GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ' line of /etc/default/grub . Then as always run 'sudo update-grub' for the change to propagate.01:14
zykotick9Bashing-om: ya, sorry.  see above ;)01:15
Bashing-omzykotick9: :) . I be slow !01:15

drocsid when I remove a package file, I notice that it leaves behind some of the configuration. What if I want to completly remove the package and config files. I'm asking because I tried removing them manually, but now when I reinstall the packate, dpkg is not installing the init scripts included with the package.01:18
medflyhelp I want to manually configure my connection and ubuntu is overriding my shit what do I need to kill for it to work01:19

wolftunehey everyone, I have some simple questions: I want to use *only* my new 250GB SSD, but my computer *keeps* using its little 25GB built-in SSD as /01:25
* zykotick9 also notes, ".. apt-get purge foo" doesn't touch the config files in ~01:25
wolftuneso, how do I check if my new SSD has boot set correctly?01:25
god_phantomwolftune: when you install, are you selecting the correct SSD?01:26
wolftunegod_phantom: this is actually a clone situation, I didn't reinstall01:26
wolftunegod_phantom: I know that would be cleanest, but I'm really close to having everything working already01:26
god_phantomi understand01:26
wolftuneit's all cloned, the system works, I made symlinks so everything functions01:27
Bashing-omwolftune: The file system table (fstab). ' cat /etc/fstab ' and see what file systems are booted .01:27
wolftunebut I want to stop using the internal SSD (mainly because in this process, I learned that it is the source of a connection problem in the hardware)01:27
zykotick9wolftune: grub may also be an issue...01:27
wolftunezykotick9: yes01:28
wolftuneBashing-om: I've been editing fstab, problem is: I have a / set of files on the little SSD and a / set cloned to the larger SSD, only I changed fstab on each trying to get this working01:28
wolftuneso, there are three things that *should* be all I need to touch now: boot, grub, fstab01:28
god_phantomyeah was gonna say grub.conf01:28
=== ToBeCloud is now known as Guest32654
wolftuneI figured I'd start at the beginning… doesn't the new drive need a /boot ? Can I check if it does? Or am I confused?01:29
adam__wolftune,  parted -l01:29
wolftuneadam__: I get nothing from that01:30
Bashing-omwolftune: "sudo fdisk -lu ; df -h ; sudo blkid " then inspect '/etc/fstab' and ' /boot/grub/grub.cfg' that they all agree with the UUIDs you want to use .01:31
Loshki_wolftune: depending on your version, there are 3 places you need to look: Grub config files, /etc/fstab, and the master boot record. Be sure to check uuids if they're in use. And run the bootinfoscript (http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/).01:31
mbeacomGood evening all! Would anyone happen to know why, after resizing my ubuntu server 14.04.2 ext4 partition from 50 GB to 100 GB using fdisk and then resize2fs to expand the FS... The FS states it is expanded, but the free space doesn't reflect the change.01:31
wolftuneBashing-om: note: with the person who was helping me, I decided to not bother partitioning, so I went with the default msdos — so I have no UUIDs01:31
rypervenchembeacom: Did you restart during the process and was it your root file system?01:31
wolftunethat's my understanding01:32
wolftuneLoshki_: see my comment just now: I ended up using msdos, so I don't think that does UUID…01:32
mbeacomrypervenche: It was indeed my root file system.  I rebooted after the initial fdisk resize, after the reboot, I did a resize2fs, it expanded, rebooted, still 50 G :D01:32
Loshki_wolftune: Nevertheless, if you pastebin the output of bootinfoscript it should tell us tons.01:32
wolftuneLoshki_: okay01:32
Loshki_mbeacom: some special reason you didn't use gparted?01:33
TJ-Loshki_: On a server!?01:33

wolftuneLoshki_: for reference, the sdb is the little drive I want to ignore, the main drive is sda01:35
TJ-mbeacom: Are you resizing it on the Xen host or in the guest?01:36
wolftunethe reason I made /mount is so that I would get the main drive at all given that it keeps booting with sdb01:37
mbeacom TJ-: I am resizing the volume in the guest. I have two volumes attached to the guest.  The original 50 G SDD volume and a cloned 100G volume that has been extended.01:37

mbeacomTJ-: df -h is displaying 50G 47G 0 100% /01:41

Bashing-omwolftune: Look'n .. be advised I have ISP issues presently .. loosing connection . I will do what I can .01:41
wolftuneBashing-om: okay, thanks01:41
TJ-mbeacom: Are you sure the volume you think is mounted as / is that one? If you cloned them the UUIDs will be the same01:42
medflyxyzzy__: my boyfriend has some weird hate for Gnome 3 that I have yet to understand. that would require listening to him tak about it.01:42
mbeacomTJ-: The mounted file system is /dev/xvdb1 at /.  /dev/xvda1 was my original / device.01:42
TJ-mbeacom: is the fstab using device nodes not UUIDs then? can you show me "cat /proc/mounts" ?01:43
mbeacomTJ-: http://pastebin.com/cT1L6rzM01:44
mbeacomTJ-: fstab is indeed using device nodes and not UUIDs.01:44
mablaejust run it01:44
TechspectreIs there a way to do a fresh installation without wiping GRUB?01:44
TJ-mbeacom: the mount point for / is a UUID: check its symlink device: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/02d3bbc2-d713-4a02-a1c2-7f83f61299a2"01:44
mablae* wrong tab, sorry01:45

wolftuneBashing-om: Loshki_: for reference, when I boot up, I see Grub menu and it lets me choose sda1 as the option, but even so, when I end up running it, sdb is where root is… :P01:46
TJ-mbeacom: and now show me "dumpe2fs /dev/xvda1 | grep UUID"01:46
Jakethepython i am getting unable to install GRUB /dev/****01:46
mbeacomTJ-: Oh boy. hah...  Filesystem UUID:          02d3bbc2-d713-4a02-a1c2-7f83f61299a201:46
TJ-mbeacom: As I said, you've cloned the file-systems so they have the same UUID ... so at boot-time /dev/xvda1 is probably discovered first and used as / but then xvdb1 is found and replaces the symlink01:47
Jakethepythonsorry grub-install /dev/12601:47
TJ-mbeacom: use "tune2fs -U random /dev/xda1" to change that UUID and then reboot01:48
Loshki_wolftune: sdb1's etc/fstab looks bad. It should mount to / ?01:49
Loshki_wolftune: line 808 in your paste.01:49
Bashing-omwolftune: Let's get a usable fstab set up to use that 250 gig hard drive . Is that your desire ? As the SSD will be much faster to house the operating system . But the SSD is partitioned GPT and we need another tool to look at it .01:49
wolftuneBashing-om: both are SSDs, one is a built-in tiny thing and it is having *connection* problems where the computer sometimes doesn't recognize it so everything crashes. tl;dr: yes, I want to use only the 250GB drive01:50
Loshki_TJ-: it never occurred to me that there wouldn't be room on a server these days for X11 client libraries. That said, gparted is probably the only gui worth it's weight.01:50
mbeacomTJ-: Thank you very much!  Now I just need to figure out why xvda1 is still being mounted automatically when xvdb1 is set in /etc/fstab !01:50
wolftuneLoshki_: there's no way to have my system working if I have the fstab on sdb mount sda to / — what happened when I tried that was that sdb was *still* / but then I had no /home!01:51
wolftuneLoshki_: the little sdb has only root but no /home /opt or /tmp01:51
Bashing-omwolftune: K, What is happening is that grub is not configured to boot the correct /boot directory / We get fstab usable and I do suggest we (RE-)install grub from a liveDVD .01:51
TJ-mbeacom: has the grub boot line been updated? If GRUB is specifying the root= using the UUID then it's understandable01:51
wolftuneLoshki_: so, to get /home /opt and /tmp, I had to link to those mounted on sda01:51
hplchowto limit a process max usage of cpu and / or memory?01:52
wolftuneBashing-om: yeah, I can reinstall grub, I agree that the issue is that grub is not correctly using sda for /boot — it goes to sdb no matter what I do01:52
TJ-Loshki_: Using a GUI on a *nix server for administration is a great way to get fired, as well as not being taken seriously01:52
Loshki_TJ-: mere prejudice. It's not like you're running k3b or the gimp.01:53
TJ-Loshki_: not at all. The more libraries and tools installed the greater the attack surface for malicious software, and the Xorg stack is large01:53
mbeacomTJ-: Very odd...  `/dev/xvdb1      /               ext4    errors=remount-ro,noatime,barrier=0 0       1` is the only entry in /etc/fstab01:54
wolftuneLoshki_: Bashing-om: here's the fstab already on sda, the drive I *want* to be using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754120/01:54
Loshki_wolftune: dinner time. Will look forward to reading how it turns out...01:54
TJ-mbeacon but update-grub will translate that into a UUID ... look in /boot/grub/grub.cfg01:54
Bashing-omwolftune: Checking the new fstab . gimme a bit .01:55
Bashing-omwolftune: In small steps so you understand . the entry " 82174999-4881-4475-8d12-25652dc0db33" tells the system to boot -> /dev/sdb1: UUID="82174999-4881-4475-8d12-25652dc0db33" . OK, so we change that entry to point to sda1's UUID .. with me ?01:58
wolftuneBashing-om: sure01:58
grinchieryou guys doing cryptab?  feel free to ignore me cause i came in late01:59

Make sure you UNcommnet this line. Next we do the swap partition assignment.02:01

hwt62vdWaldeinsamkeit: Your stuck and exspecting us to help you. Your among many whom have come here in a similiar predicament, not much help generally.02:35
hwt62vdyo don't hand the doctor a pocket knife for surgery02:35
Bashing-omhwt62vd: OH contrare . How many times have I picked up a flat river rock to sharpen my pocket knife to cut out an embedded fish hook ?02:38
hwt62vdno idea02:38
Waldeinsamkeithello02:38
Waldeinsamkeiti got gparted02:38
Waldeinsamkeithow do i merge partiioons with it?02:38
cfhowlettWaldeinsamkeit, they have to be physically next to each other to merge, so you probably have to move things first02:39
Waldeinsamkeitwhat do you mean?02:39
Waldeinsamkeitin gparted i have fat32 unallocated and ext402:39
cfhowlettWaldeinsamkeit, 1, 3, 2 must be 1, 2, 302:39
Waldeinsamkeiti want to merge unalloc ated with ext402:39
Waldeinsamkeitohh ok02:40
Waldeinsamkeiti have 28.61 on ynallocated space02:40
Waldeinsamkeitall my hard drives have unallocated space02:40
Waldeinsamkeithow do i get rid of it?02:40
cfhowlettWaldeinsamkeit, merge with your /home partition02:41
hwt62vdWaldeinsamkeit: small areas between partitions?02:41
Waldeinsamkeituhh02:41
Waldeinsamkeityeah02:41
hwt62vdbingo02:41
Waldeinsamkeitwhen i delted partitions02:41
Waldeinsamkeiti now have left overs02:41
cfhowlettWaldeinsamkeit, space between parts is normal02:41
Waldeinsamkeiti want to merge those into my main partition02:41
Waldeinsamkeiti had one of my hardives partion into three parts for whatever unknow reason02:42
adam__Waldeinsamkeit, i've always wanted to as well, and haven't foudn a way. i guess it's normal behavior, but the reason behind it baffles me02:42
Waldeinsamkeitnow it has 28.61 gb of unallocated  unused space02:42
Waldeinsamkeitthats 30 gb of unused space...02:42
adam__that's... a lot of unallocated space. nvm what i just said02:42
Waldeinsamkeityeah02:42
Waldeinsamkeiti know what your talking about02:42
adam__i always see like 1mb bits02:42
adam__ay02:42
adam__ya*02:42
Waldeinsamkeitthis is not the same thing02:42
Waldeinsamkeiti had two huge partions02:42
Waldeinsamkeitand i delete one02:42
adam__sorry, i'm going back and forth in front of the computer and not02:43
Waldeinsamkeitnow i have a left over one02:43
Waldeinsamkeithow do i merge it back into my main one02:43
kxstudioBashing-om: hi it's wolftune02:43
adam__you would actually resize your main one02:43
adam__gparted should be able to expand it02:43
Waldeinsamkeityes to what?02:43
kxstudioBashing-om: I'm on the USB boot now02:43
adam__gparted will have a dialog where you can drag-drop the partition size a bit02:43
adam__that should make it (  current size + unallocated size )02:44
Waldeinsamkeiti see i see02:44
adam__if you use it all02:44
Waldeinsamkeityes yes very usefull02:44
Waldeinsamkeitwtf02:44
Waldeinsamkeitit takes two hours?02:45
adam__it can vary. what filesystem is that again?02:45
adam__like... ext4/302:45
Waldeinsamkeitext402:45
Waldeinsamkeit2 hours....02:46
Waldeinsamkeiti might as just go to bed...02:46
adam__i suppose it'll just take that long then. it does do some extra stuff, like a full filesystem check, then expand, fs check again, move files, ect02:46
adam__i'm not nerdy enough for those details, but yeah it takes what it takes02:46
Waldeinsamkeitwell02:47
adam__the post-operation estimates can be way off, though02:47
Waldeinsamkeitcya guys02:47
Bashing-omksx4system: K, get us a terminal . and in terminal let'sa check what is on sda1 . 1st ,ount that partition : ' sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ' then let's "look" ' ls -al /mnt/vmlinuz* ; ls -al /mnt/home/<your_user_name> ' . If those are positive we proceed .02:47
Waldeinsamkeitill do this tommrow02:47
Waldeinsamkeitand ill get a flashdrive...02:47

Bashing-omkxstudio: OK, let's install grub ' sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda ; sudo umount /mnt ' . Done here . reboot and set as 1st boot priority that 1st haed drive as priority number 1 . Please tell me you now boot ubuntu .02:58
kxstudioBashing-om: for reference, there are zero systems connected that aren't Ubuntu, so there's nothing else that I could boot ;)02:58
kxstudioBashing-om: okay restarting now02:59
Bashing-omkxstudio: :) . Put a smile on our face and tell me we boot that 1st hard drive .03:00
BigJ14.10 is the latest stable version?03:01
zykotick9BigJ: i look at the date and think 15.04 should exist...03:01
BigJhow can you go from 14.10 to 15.04?03:02
Bashing-omBigJ: No, latest release is 15.04 .. latest LTS release is 14.04 .03:02
Bashing-omBigJ: System is fully updated, upgraded, All PPA are disabled, inclusive of proprietary drivers, and in software sources that "next release' is set .03:04
zykotick9is 15.05 the fist ubuntu with systemd?03:05
zykotick9s/15.05/15.04/03:05
Bashing-omzykotick9: Yes indeed, Going to have to do some homework to catch up on systemd .03:06
zykotick9Bashing-om: cool, thanks.03:06
* zykotick9 notes systemd is different... ;)03:06
BigJBashing-om: I was running 15.04 but I'm having a problem with waking on suspend and 14.10 is the latest version suppourted by the intel graphics installer which I am hoping will solve the problem if I install the driver03:07
kxstudioBashing-om: no go :(03:09
zykotick9oh... is hibernate renabled by default in 15.04?  "systemctl hibernate" <- perhaps even without sudo?! might hibernate systems <warning!>03:09
kxstudioBashing-om: what happens is, I end up just at the grub> prompt03:10
kxstudioBashing-om: this happened earlier today and someone helping got me to do some things at the prompt which resulted in the situation I had (I could work, but sdb was / etc)03:10
kxstudioagh, they left, hope they come back!03:11
oldboy1hey all03:12
kxstudioBashing-om: you're back :) did you get that last couple messages?03:12
stiv2khow do i delete orphaned entries in my applications menu?03:13
stiv2ki uninstalled wine, but i still have a 'wine' directory in my applications menu03:13
Bashing-omkxstudio: No I did not get them .. my ISP dropped me . Say again all after XX:05 time .03:14

zykotick9stiv2k: using apt to remove/purge something doesn't touch your home folder!  i but that's what's left over...03:14
stiv2kzykotick9: right03:14
stiv2kzykotick9: soo.... how do i fix it?03:14
oldboy1stiv2k: try this for i in {/usr,~/.local}/share/applications/*.desktop; do which $(grep -Poh '(?<=Exec=).*?( |$)' $i) > /dev/null || echo $i; done03:14
stiv2koldboy1:  i tried that, but it did not list anything about wine03:15

rockstar__is there any channel for graph theory and distributed systems? rockstar__03:16
Bashing-omkxstudio: That ending up at a grub prompt is gub can not find the proper config files. We have a couple of things we can do . I do prefer to try and boot this system from the grub > prompt and once booted try and repair grub .03:16
stiv2koldboy1: i got it03:16
stiv2ktweaked the command to get every file, not just *.desktop03:17
kxstudioBashing-om: I do have possibly another computer I could use so I could try that if it's really better way to go03:18
Bashing-omkxstudio: Are you presently at that grub > prompt ?03:18
kxstudiokxstudio: I.e. another system so I can still chat while dealing with that03:18
kxstudioBashing-om: no, I'm back on the USB boot03:18

Bashing-omkxstudio: ISP acting up again . The surer thing is to purge reinstall grub from the liveUSB in a full CHroot routine . But I am afraid I will loose you due to my ISP dropping connection . All we need to do is insure that grub can find it's config files .03:21
kxstudioBashing-om: I can use the other computer and go back to the grub prompt or do whatever here, whatever you advise03:22
Bashing-omkxstudio: I am the more at ease to boot up the install from the grub > prompt . Otherwise I might leave you dangling and really mess up the system . Let's take the safer non-invasive course and boot frpm the grub > prompt .03:23
kxstudioBashing-om: what about this option? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair03:24
wolftBashing-om: hi, I'm on webchat on another computer now, could restart to grub prompt. I could also try that boot-repair utility if you think that's okay03:29
shingshanghmm, somehow when I'm trying to install freeglut3-dev, apt complains that I have unmet dependencies (gnome-cnotrol-center depends on libcheese-gtk23)03:31
shingshangbut I have both of those installed?03:31
Bashing-omkxstudio: That is a viable option, but not advised in your case as we have 2 hard drives and grub will be installed to both and then we run into recursive netries in grub.cfg . If you know what you are doing and/or are carefull in the maunaul mode you can direct thsat grub be installed to 'sda' only .03:31

kxstudioBashing-om: you could advise me in using that with manual options or we could go back to grub prompt, whichever you think03:33
Bashing-omkxstudio: I do prefer to "try" and boot from the grub > prompt . not at all invasive if we fail .03:34

Jakethepython1can i set up a raid 1 after i install install ubuntu on the main system?03:40
wolftBashing-om: thanks for the help, patience sorry for the delay, I had started installing boot-repair just so I'd have it on the USB stick, and it's almost done :P but about to reboot to grub prompt03:42

Bashing-omwolft: No hurry . At your pace .03:43
adam__Jakethepython1, you should be able to. setup the one drive, then boot into it and add the other to the array, then rebuild it03:43
Jakethepython1OK. the main system disk is not in the array of RAID03:43
Jakethepython1the 2 raid HDDS are for storage only03:43
sir_?03:44
wolftBashing-om: okay, at grub prompt03:44
adam__generally speaking, you should be able to take an existing disk of data, take it and another disk and make a raid array, then it'll either start rebuilding, or you'll have to start the 'rebuild' process yourself.03:44
adam__all rebuilding will do is duplicate the data across drives03:45
Jakethepython1ok thanks03:45
adam__assuming raid 003:45
Jakethepython1i want a raid 1 on 2 hdds03:45
adam__assuming radi 1*03:45

Jakethepython1ubunut w/ out remove the 2 hard drives w. raid03:46
Jakethepython1it gave me a grub cannot install error03:46
adam__crazyhorse18, sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart    though lightdm may need to be  gdm03:46
crazyhorse18hmm, i haven't got a terminal window open03:46
crazyhorse18i've got sublime text.. but don't know how to output commands from that03:46
Bashing-omwolft: OK, let's boot this sucker . We tell grub where the config files are so the kernel knows where it;s files are ; do 6 commands: ' set prefix=(hd1,msdos1)/boot/grub ; set root=(hd1,msdos1) ; insmod linux ; linux (hd1,msdos1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb1 ro ; initrd (hd1,msdos1)/initrd.img ; boot .03:48
Bashing-omwolft: OH shoot .. I messed up one of them .03:49
wolftBashing-om: I didn't enter any yet03:50
wolftBashing-om: incidentally "set prefix" didn't work with tab-completion, so that was odd03:50
Bashing-omwolft: Make that ' linux (hd1,msdos1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro ' here I had that 2nd hard drive on my mind for some reason ! .. we are on sda1 !03:51
wolftBashing-om: this is probably what happened earlier! There's hd0 and hd1, I think we tried hd0 before, don't remember for certain03:52
wolftBashing-om: please confirm that I want hd1 and not hd0 or otherwise tell me how to check to be sure03:52
Bashing-omwolft: That could be as expected that tab will not complete , as the location of files is not known at this time .03:53
wolftBashing-om: re: tab completion, I thought that "prefix" the word itself would tab complete. Incidentally, hd0 and hd1 *do* tab complete as options03:53
Bashing-omwolft: I am some kind of tired, you are correct .. it is (hd0,msdos1) .. sheesshh .03:53
wolftBashing-om: are you sure? Because if we have this backwards, I'll be back to using the wrong drive, right?03:54
Bashing-omwolft: I am sure .. booting from grub , grub will alwaysa look to 'hd0' and hd0 is that 1st hard drive 'sda' -> hd0 is grub speak for sda .03:56
tomhardyhmm i can't boot ubuntu.. how can i get into a terminal window03:56
dupingpingThe awesome software is published, You can use the trial version of Sticky Notes.03:57
dupingpinghttp://korsoftware.com03:57
wolftBashing-om: okay, and yeah I got partition info from the prompt too and that confirms it03:57
tomhardyi've got into the recovery menu.. but it only allows you to boot into a read only prompt03:57
cfhowlettdupingping don't do that.  no spam in channel, please.03:57
zykotick9Bashing-om: <this should be a PM but i'm to lazy to ask> i wish your sda -> hd0 grub was true...03:58
dupingpingcfhowlett, yes.03:58
Bashing-omzykotick9: OK, I am willing to be educated .. why is grub hd0 not the system sda ?03:59
zykotick9Bashing-om: /dev/sdX is subject to change!  uuid/labels are constant... but sdXY are NOT03:59
tomhardyhey guys i can't boot my computer, i go in and i get the system is running in low-graphics mode.. your screen / graphics device could not be detected04:00
zykotick9Bashing-om: often, but not always, what you boot off of will be sda04:00
Bashing-omwolft: Reaffirm : ' set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub ; set root=(hd0,msdos1) ; insmod linux ; linux (hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro ; initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initrd.img ; boot ' .04:00
wolftBashing-om: I am now at a prompt, booted, but not at my GUI04:02
wolftBashing-om: it's asking me to log in, like as though I had hit ctrl-alt F104:02
Bashing-omzykotick9: OH, so true ! many times a USB thumb drive is picked up first and becomes 'sda' .04:02
Bashing-omwolft: Outstanding ! login !04:02
zykotick9Bashing-om: in the "good ol' days" it was _more_ likely to be true ;)04:03
Bashing-omwolft: At this time we do not need a GUI .04:03

wolftBashing-om: that all worked sorta BUT I don't think it affected the grub files on sda because all the commands other than the install affected sdb04:38
adam__tomhardy, either should work04:38
wolftBashing-om: in other words, the purge purged sdb grub, but not sda grub04:38
wolftwolft: I'm back running but still sdb as /04:38
tomhardyok... rebooting.. fingers crossed... i've scripted my entire install process, so even if i have to reinstall everything it should only take me an hour or so04:38
adam__tomhardy, for less chance of complications though, choose gdm04:39

TragicM3LONquestion, is it possible to install a bootloader on a macbook so that i can get into linux that was just installed?04:39
wolftBashing-om: I think probably the whole source of this is the fact that we cloned the original sdb / to the new sda and so the new sda has some files that still point to sdb. We edited fstab, so it isn't that04:39
TragicM3LONi'm not dualbooting, i just have linux on there for now04:39
grinchiertomhardy: ya i don't see anything in those logs i can find man04:39
grinchierhave you tried to start gdm?04:40
wolftBashing-om: but I should figure out how to purge grub stuff from sda and reinstall04:40
tomhardyhmmm so try again.. but this time with gdm?04:40
grinchiergo a tty, login and type gdm just for the hell of it04:40
tomhardygrinchier: start gdm?  i can reinstall that package04:40
grinchieroh04:40
tomhardyi chose lightdm04:40
grinchierdid you recenlty remove it to install ldm?04:40
Bashing-omwolft: Beyond my cpmprehension how that could have happened ! . We booted sda. purged the then presnt grub and it's config files. sadb should not even be in this picture UNLESS from sdb you "update-grub" . Then the recursion in dsa's grub sets in again . ( we will prevent that happening when we get booting from sda straoght) .04:41
adam__gdm was an option, so it's already installed just not default04:41
tomhardyi just followed this guide mode04:41
tomhardyhttp://simpledeveloper.com/system-running-in-low-graphics-mode/04:41
grinchieroh ok see what happens04:41
Bashing-omwolft: Another thought ! What is set in bios as that 1st boot priority ???04:42
wolftBashing-om: every time we booted sda, sdb was / so the *then present* grub files, well, there's /grub/ right? and maybe all the actions (like purge) are happening on /grub which is sdb rather than sda's /grub04:43
wolftBashing-om: bios is set to have the sda drive as 1st priority04:43

Bashing-omwolft: In sda's fstab file is set that a particular UUID that is infact sda1 is the booting partition. in that booting file system table there is no reference to any other drive . We boot the sda drive, purge grub, and re-install grub to the boot sector of sda . I can not comprehend with the boot priority set to sda that sdb can even enter into this picture .04:47

grinchierdid you try your link?04:48
wolftBashing-om: I guess I wondered if copying files from sdb to sda originally could result in stuff that referenced sdb and that purging somehow was only purging sdb and not sda, but I dunno04:49

wolftEriC^^: this whole process was about moving to a new drive, so I copied the system from the old drive05:40
EriC^^so it's still on the old drive?05:40
wolftEriC^^: so yes, there is a system on both, except that sdb is a small drive and has no space for a full system, just for / without /home and /opt ...05:41
Bashing-omeric wolft We have ubuntu on 2 drives ( recursion) , wolft os_30=prober runs, and will find all operatingsystems and chainload them to the boot menu. in this case as sda1 as the primary boot authority it is what we want.05:41
EriC^^ok, looks good then05:41
wolftBashing-om: but the sdb1 in this command, doesn't that seem like the source for the issue?05:42

EriC^^wolft: (sudo blkid && cat /mnt/etc/fstab) | nc termbin.com 999906:26
wolftEriC^^: /wraj is the one with ./mnt06:26
EriC^^OpenSorce: software center maybe?06:27
wolftEriC^^: /h0cd is the one without /mnt06:27
OpenSorceEriC^^, no kidding... not really apparent how to unintall from there though.06:27
OpenSorce*uninstall06:27
wolftEriC^^: the . was a typo above sorry06:27
EriC^^OpenSorce: never tried that myself06:28
OpenSorceEriC^^, thanks anyway :-)06:28
EriC^^OpenSorce: if the old kernel is still there, why don't you just tell them how to delete it from the terminal06:28
OpenSorceEriC^^, Well it's not something they would remember... and I wanted them to be able to repeat it in the future if there's another problem later.06:29
EriC^^OpenSorce: there's a history tab in software center, if they type linux-image in the search it should show the last kernel it installed06:31
EriC^^unfortunately you can't click on it to uninstall06:31
OpenSorceEriC^^, Yep. Shows it just fine. Just no way to remove it :-)06:32
EriC^^wolft: ok, did you type the for i command?06:32
wolftEriC^^: yes06:33
leonichello i am trying to configure reshft06:33
EriC^^wolft: type cat /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 999906:33
OpenSorceWhat I'd like to do is remove it and then try the update again to see if it would work this time. I'd prefer to keep her laptop up to date rather than locking the kernel to the working version06:33

archhereticHi, I was wondering, do anyone here know if upgrading my windows 7 to windows 10 will affect my ubuntu partition?10:37

EvilTerranhowdy folks. I've found myself needing to install a single package (+dependencies) from a newer release... I've been following various instructions I googled up (eg http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/170100): added a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ so apt-get can see the repo, and one to /etc/apt/preferences.d/ so that release is only used by request (pinned at -100), but there I get stuck15:18
MotherMGA1I have ubuntu 15.04 and my wifi card (RTL8723BE) will sometimes stop working. I can sometimes fix it with `rmmod rtl8723be; modprobe rtl8723be`, but sometimes that will just hang the system.  It happens about twice a day. Does anyone here have a fix?15:19
EvilTerran"apt-get -t" seems happy to install it... but I've got to make it work through Puppet, which has no way of passing that flag to apt-get :/15:19
mcphailEvilTerran: I don't think anyone is going to support that here. A recipe for a broken system, I'm afraid15:20
inerkickapt-get remove ?15:20
MotherMGA1I also have better luck fixing it when it goes out by going to the "network" gui program and clicking "off" on wifi and then "on" again.15:20
EvilTerranmcphail, ah. hm. I knew it was a bit risky, didn't realise it was quite that bad :/15:21
EvilTerranI was about to mention how https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Recommended_alternative_to_pinning talks in vague ominous terms about libc6, but I guess that's a moot point if it's a bad idea period.15:21
stiv2kamari: OerHeks: skomorokh: why is that file present if systemd doesnt exist on 14.04 ?15:22
eletiousinerkick: yeah, memory serving you can specify packages to remove15:23
eletiousinerkick: if you want to be super-safe about it, press ctrl+alt+f1 before you do it15:23
mcphailEvilTerran: when the dependency chain gets broken, the whole infrastructure can collapse. It can get to be a real mess with no easy way to roll back. Fine if you don't mind a full reinstall but not advised otherwise15:25
EvilTerranmcphail, well, this is all on VMs that can be torn down & re-initialised at a moment's notice... so if the only risk is the install process going horribly wrong, I can deal with that; but if there's a serious risk of it lurking indefinitely, then causing mass breakage at the least-convenient-possible moment in the future, I'll have to rethink15:27
cryptbineletious, no, they are domain names we use for our production servers and im just pointing them to the internal IP's instead of the external IP's. they are all static.15:27
EvilTerranI tried "apt-get -t ..." on a test VM, and that seemed to work fine - but it upgraded a scary selection of dependencies, including libc6, and then I found that warning in the pinning howto I linked to above15:29
=== bertazol1 is now known as bertazoli

Evil_OttoHas anyone ever seen where starting a service only puts a listener on tcp6, not tcp4?15:37
EvilTerranmcphail, it looks like it could be wonderful ... unfortunately, this is a legacy system with quite a lot of intertia, so I don't think I'll have much luck making such a drastic change-of-direction. at least not in the time I have available. :|15:38
mcphailEvilTerran: Unfortunately, I don't think there is a good solution for you :(15:41
EvilTerranmcphail, :(15:43
EvilTerran... here's the funny part - I only need one *tiny* feature of a single package that isn't in the version I'm stuck with. oh well, back to the drawing board, I guess.15:44

EvilTerranbr33n, I see. Before I came in here, I came across advice for very similar questions on help.ubuntu.com, askubuntu, stackexchange, etc - which gave me the impression that I wasn't trying to do anything particularly outlandish or unsupported. If I was wrong, well.. fair enough.16:18
br33neletious: You might try ##linux if you have a freenode account16:18
br33nEvilTerran: It is only wrong if you can't fix it, in my world view. Just be careful is all. ;)16:19
mcphailEvilTerran: as soon as you move away from curated package management, you are more likey to end up with a broken system. apt-get doesn't support clean rollbacks, so most breakages require a full reinstall.

Waldeinsamkeitwhats the best way to wipe and repartion a harddrive17:34
Waldeinsamkeitso i can use it too boot?17:34
actionParsnipWaldeinsamkeit: this is a whole tonne easier with a removable drive. Do you not have an SD card or USB stick you can even borrow, just to get square17:34
histoWaldeinsamkeit: well first I would just write the iso there.17:34

EriC^^regedit: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 999917:36
EriC^^reinstalling grub should do the trick17:36
histoWaldeinsamkeit: To fix the drive you broke just repartition it, if you want you can just upgrade your ubuntu install, or you'll have to arrange booting the iso and installing new.17:36
Waldeinsamkeityeah ok i fixxed it17:36

OerHekstold you, chown18:17

Waldeinsamkeitseems like chown is a bad way18:17
OerHeksor that line from BaloneySandvich is not bad either18:17
EriC^^Waldeinsamkeit: is it a ntfs or ext4?18:17
regeditEriC^^: back18:17
OerHeksDepends what you want, for 1 user, or all ?18:17
BaloneySandvichWaldeinsamkeit i said 'sudo chmod ugo+rw /your/drive/Path'18:18
Waldeinsamkeiti want to be the owner of my harddrives18:18
regeditEriC^^: latest was: grub option for windows boot manager results in error18:18
Waldeinsamkeitinstead of root18:18
EriC^^if it's a ext4 chown is the only way, ntfs you should mount it with whatever perms,users you want, or if it's a one time thing just use chmod and chown18:18
Waldeinsamkeitits ext418:18
EriC^^regedit: wb18:18
EriC^^Waldeinsamkeit: ok, if you want to change all files to be owned by you, type sudo chown -R <your user>: /path/to/mountpoint18:19
regeditEriC^^: truth is I might not care about this issue, since the system boot menu seems to offer a windows boot option, though i havent tried it yet - i assume it works18:19

grinchierso i gave you two suggestions20:01
ubuntu_userok20:01
grinchierone is to go to gnome-look.org and download the theme20:01
SCHAAP137ubuntu_user, then install MATE20:01
ubuntu_userMATE is GNOME3 with the Metacity look?20:01
SCHAAP137MATE gives you a classic metacity-like look by default20:01
ubuntu_userI thought someone said it was not20:01
Waldeinsamkeitcan someone remote install a new os?20:01
SCHAAP137it's not GNOME3, but that's not relevant20:01
Johnny_Linuxubuntu_user , go for mate.20:02
Johnny_Linuxi use it20:02
SCHAAP137i use MATE as well20:03
grinchieryou can go to gnome-look.org and download w/e theme you want,  there is a whole list of metacity ones.20:03
Jordan_Uubuntu_user: MATE is a fork of GNOME2. http://mate-desktop.org/ You might be happy using MATE's panel and window manager with GNOME3 applications instead of the forked MATE alternatives.20:03
Johnny_Linuxwouldnt use anything else20:03

regeditwould anyone know anything about VirtualBox? i'd like to virtualize Ubuntu as guest on Windows host, i'm wondering if i need the -mbr option to the VBoxManage internalcommands when creating the VMDK20:19
rblstregedit: why not use the GUI?20:21
egyptian[work]whats it mean when sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maas-maintainers/stable times out with an error of pp name might be incorrect?20:22
regeditrblst: the GUI doesn't make a VMDK for the primary hard drive... or does it?20:22
rblstregedit:  you can choose your disk format when creating your machine20:24
regeditrblst: I know but i'm not sure it supports creating a VMDK of current hard drive and specific partition(s) from the GUI... le'me check20:24
Jordan_UHail_Spacecake: run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and see what packages it proposes to install. If it doesn't want to install anything you've decided for sure you don't want, then it's probably a good idea. ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that depends on all packages installed in Ubuntu by default.20:24
SCHAAP137regedit: i have a ubuntu VM in virtualbox under win 8.1, just followed the steps in the GUI to make it20:25

regeditGPT and stuff20:25
SCHAAP137i have an UEFI BIOS yes, with secure boot disabled20:26
SCHAAP137GPT is a partitioning scheme20:26
Hail_SpacecakeJordan_U: that didn't install anything20:26
SCHAAP137like MBR, but different20:26
SCHAAP137i don't see how it's relevant to a virtual machine20:26
Hail_SpacecakeJordan_U: does the 'networking' service start networkmanager?20:26
Hail_Spacecakeor is there a separate service for that?20:27
regeditSCHAAP137: was your ubuntu and windows installed in EFI mode? this can be tricky since your BIOS can have UEFI enabled but the OSs still install in non-UEFI mode20:27
regeditSCHAAP137: if you want to give the virtual machine to use a specific partition of your HDD, if they are not regular msdos MBR partitions but rather GPT...20:27
SCHAAP137ah, you want to use a physical disk20:28
SCHAAP137haven't tried that20:28
regedityup...20:28
SCHAAP137i was already thinking, why does this matter when using a disk file, but now i see your point20:29
Jordan_Uregedit: I saw that you were able to fix your boot firmware. Did you ever file a bug report? If nothing else, it's a great place to publicly post how you solved the problem.20:29
SCHAAP137i have ubuntu running just as a regular VM in vbox20:29
regeditJordan_U: heya thanks for following up, yes i have the bug text we wrote and have more info to add to it. Out of deperation i actually just ran the Windows 7 version of the lenovo provided BIOS update, and after that surprisingly worked, i ran the Windows 8 version and that worked too20:31
regeditJordan_U: i think the bios was badly corrupted, and the win8 version couldnt work (at first), but the win7 (legacy bios?) managed to update20:32

ubottuUbuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy21:12
Jordan_Usidi: Note that apt-file show will show files from any package containing the substring you pass, so "apt-file show mc" (unfortunately IMHO) shows files from more packages than just "mc". "apt-file  show  --regexp '^mc$' | grep '\.desktop$'" shows only info about mc, but you need to be sure that your package name doesn't containin any characters that are considered special in a perl regexp.21:13
sidiJordan_U, I could probably make advantage of that and query all the packages at once... for all i care, the desktop files should be named after the app in question, so I can find which have an exactly identical package and manually identify the remaining hundred or so... hopefully..21:15
sidiThanks for the warning though21:16
Jordan_Usidi: What is your end goal? The contents of the app-install-data package may interest you as well.21:20
sidiJordan_U, i have a LD_PRELOAD library which logs some system calls, it's great but on a development heavy workload it collects up to 1GB a day of data. I want to reduce it to desktop applications. I'm using this to evaluate the fitness of GUI toolkit APIs for real-world apps21:23

Bashing-ombug22: I am at a loss here, Nvidia does not have a driver for that card . All Windows ! see: http://www.geforce.com/drivers . Input the info and see a perplexing situation. I am considering how to proceed.23:44
=== nicekiwi_coffebr is now known as nicekiwi
bug22it is not a card, it is the onboard VGA support23:44
bug22that's probably why Windows works on this machine, was really hoping to get away from Windows if I can23:46

bug22I got a dpkg error - unknown option -123:51
