[00:00] Same with two finger tapping [00:00] TJ- - Permission denied. :| [00:01] 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] Remoboth: that moves the files to the same path under "/usr/local/" [00:03] TJ- - It worked! [00:03] genewitch, the default DM or another? [00:03] what could it possibly mean if I can't ctrl+alt+f1 on the login screen (it's all black)? [00:03] TJ- - Would you happen to know the command line entry I would use to blacklist the driver you suggested earlier? [00:03] Remoboth: now you need to unload the modules that might be in memory. First check if they are with "lsmod | grep firewire" [00:03] I've just purged the nvidia drivers, so it looks like it's not nvidia afte rall [00:04] Just set FingerLow to 1 & High to 2... Wouldn't expect to need that high of sensitivity but it works now [00:04] shingshang, it could be that the driver has an invalid setting for the framebuffer. nvidia? [00:04] adam__: default [00:05] Remoboth: If you see modules listed then, for each, do "sudo rmmod " [00:05] adam__: yeah, but I just purged all the nvidia driver though [00:05] alguem do brasil? [00:05] Remoboth: always remove modules that have 0 dependencies first. Any module with something depending on it cannot be unloaded from memory. [00:06] TJ- - Returned... firewire_ohci 40409 0 [00:06] firewire_core 68769 1 firewire_ohci [00:06] crc_itu_t 12707 1 firewire_core [00:06] shingshang: have you tried starting with the kernel command-line option "nomodeset" ? [00:06] TJ-: how do I get there? [00:06] Remoboth: So remove firewire_ohci first which will no longer depend on firewire_core so you can remove it too [00:07] !nomodeset | shingshang [00:07] shingshang: 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 parameter [00:07] 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] Ranieri_: with sound? [00:07] alguem teria ai um link de aulas sobre XUBUNTU? [00:07] genewitch: Yea, sound, images, and if possible, microphone. [00:08] what ever allon said [00:08] TJ-: thanks will try that [00:08] TJ- - O.k. Both have been removed. WHat next? [00:08] !pt | wallon [00:08] wallon: 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] Remoboth: nothing, you've unloaded them modules and moved them so they can't be loaded [00:09] TJ- - Much obliged! [00:10] if I have an encrypted disk could it affect the suspend process? [00:10] BigJ, suspend to ram? no [00:10] BigJ: Not for suspend, but possibly for Hibernate [00:11] I can't get my system to wake from suspend [00:11] Ranieri_: Remmina Remote Desktop Client? [00:11] Ranieri_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleRemoteDesktop [00:11] Remoboth: in case the kernel gets updated you should also blacklist those 2 modules as per the link I gave you earlier [00:11] Ranieri_: 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 even [00:12] genewitch: Sounds familiar. I'll do some research, thanks. [00:12] Remoboth: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Loadable_Modules#Blacklisting_Modules [00:12] genewitch: yeah :'( [00:12] TJ-: that nomodeset page has broken image links all over, is it just me? [00:13] shingshang: I think it's just you... are you behind a proxy maybe? [00:14] not really, but there's a lot of click and discover imageshack links [00:14] which I assume means it's broken? [00:15] ugh, this might be hopeless, and I might have to reinstall my os after all [00:16] TJ- - I am trying to edit the blacklist document but I am not sure how to save it... [00:16] IT opened up in the command line terminal. [00:16] 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 files [00:18] my 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. === Uname-a is now known as uname [00:21] 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] TJ- - So I would just add " blacklist firewire_ohci " and " blacklist firewire_core " to the blacklist.config document and close it out? [00:21] should ctrl+space minimize windows on 14.04? I'm on cinnamon but I can't find it under settings-->keyboard-->shortcuts [00:21] annoying as hell in games [00:21] 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 them [00:22] Remoboth: Yes [00:23] adam__: no there's no scrolling [00:23] ok [00:24] backed up home [00:24] genewitch, sounds like either the mouse is broken or not sending signals to the OS [00:24] here's a classic: jiggle the cord [00:24] adam__: the mouse works fine on the left side of the screen and the like top right. the middle it's not doing anything [00:24] now how do i update [00:24] lol [00:24] not doing anything in the middle [00:24] the desktop area [00:25] but i can click "Files" [00:25] And files comes up [00:25] i can't click in files. this started after an update to 15.04 [00:25] ok [00:26] Waldeinsamkeit: update from what to what [00:26] saucy to verdt [00:26] but im think thats not possible [00:26] im at saucy [00:26] i want to be at the latest lts [00:27] is that 14.04? [00:27] Final 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] uhh whats the command to check? [00:27] adam__: i rebooted and it went aaway [00:27] What can I do to finally delete this fucking application? [00:27] !lts [00:27] 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) [00:28] Waldeinsamkeit: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/01/upgrade-ubuntu-13-10-saucy-to-ubuntu-14-04-trusty/ i usually follow a guide like this [00:28] Waldeinsamkeit: works on all my personal stuff [00:29] i want vivid veret [00:29] how do you find what current version your on [00:29] Waldeinsamkeit: you have to go one version at a time [00:29] yep [00:29] Final 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] What can I do to finally delete this fucking application? [00:29] Waldeinsamkeit: in a terminal cat /etc/*release* [00:29] yeah im at 13.10 [00:29] Waldeinsamkeit: follow that guide and reboot [00:30] Waldeinsamkeit: 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] ok. [00:30] 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 rm [00:31] Waldeinsamkeit: you may need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to change "Prompt=" to normal [00:31] Waldeinsamkeit: but perhaps it already =normal [00:32] adam__ - Damn. DIdn't work. [00:32] umm how? [00:32] ANyone know how to add %postinstall script files to the Ubuntu Server ISO? [00:32] genewitch, ? [00:32] Waldeinsamkeit: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [00:32] Remoboth, after chmodding it, you'll want to restart the DM. something like sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart [00:32] the last line says "Prompt=normal"? [00:32] Waldeinsamkeit: ^ [00:32] Remoboth, replace lightdm with whatever you're using [00:33] Remoboth, it'll close everything, so save any work you have going [00:34] hello room [00:34] do LTS upgrade kernels as often? that's my only complaint about ubuntu, really, recompiling all my userspace drivers :-( [00:34] kernel drivers, userspace, whatever. [00:36] 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, perhaps [00:36] i use intel stuff on my ubuntu's, but my arch has nvidia which auto-rebuilds on kernel upgrades [00:37] adam__: virtualbox drivers don't :-/ at least i always have to do it by hand [00:37] ah yeah i do run into that every damn time haha [00:37] hey 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] i wonder about a post-apt-get hook [00:37] is there any particular reason why "Preparing to Install Ubuntu" part of the installation takes a long time? [00:38] Anonomous: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [00:38] Jakethepython, yo :) [00:38] I pressed continue and it's still showing the wait mouse cursor [00:38] Anonomous: be careful make a backup [00:38] guys how to update gnome to 3.18 in ubuntu 15.04 === xyzzy__ is now known as Guest27303 [00:38] staging repository updates it to 3.16 [00:38] shingshang, it's loading a lot of files, and if your box has poor i/o performance it can take awhile [00:39] poor is relative, usually it's the CDROM fault [00:39] adam__: how long is a while though? It's a brand new laptop I just got a few days ago [00:39] 14.04 installed fine a few days ago, and now trying 15.04, it's stuck here [00:39] shingshang: what are you installing from [00:39] USB [00:39] probably USB is slow [00:39] i 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 stuff [00:39] what time frame are we talking about? It's been 2-3 minutes [00:40] is there a way other than settings->keyboard to edit keyboard combinations? [00:40] shingshang: updating from 14.10 to 15.04 took ~4 hours on my machine [00:40] ctrl+space minimizes windows and its annoying in games [00:40] genewitch: this is just one page of the installer though [00:40] and it's not even into the partition page yet [00:40] shingshang: i'd say 15 minutes [00:40] I 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] is the USB drive blinking, shingshang? [00:41] there's no lights on the USB [00:41] YaMoonSun: if it's still installed you can usually see the old kernel in grub [00:42] advanced ubuntu options? === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [00:43] YaMoonSun: like when the computer boots, the grub menu shows all the kernel versions currently installed [00:43] i'm looking at my grub.cfg right now [00:44] here we go [00:44] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:45] Anonomous: actually you're supposed to edit stuff in /etc, but i don't know what files, looks like /etc/grub.d and /etc/default/grub [00:45] Not to my knowledge, but I'll check it out here in a sec [00:46] hell yueah!! [00:46] frick [00:46] Waldeinsamkeit: wat [00:47] An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade. [00:47] nop [00:47] nvm [00:47] why can't i upgrade to 14.04? [00:47] UGH! [00:47] Is secureboot available on Ubuntu now? [00:48] Waldeinsamkeit: you need the do-release-upgrade thing [00:48] how? [00:48] please how? [00:48] 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 installing [00:49] you got your home directory copied over to a new drive now, yes? === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [00:49] yes [00:49] ohh ok. [00:49] yes [00:49] so now unplug the drive with the copy (just to be sure the installation leaves it alone) and do a fresh installation [00:50] umm [00:50] then we can plug the drive back in and copy /home/ back over to the new installation [00:50] best way to do a fresh instal> [00:50] and you wont have to re-download all the steam stuff [00:50] yes [00:50] my copy speed is ten times faster then my dl speed [00:50] what do i download? [00:50] the image/iso of the version you want to upgrade to would be best [00:51] ok [00:51] whats the latest version of ubonto i can install [00:51] with out more bugs then now? [00:51] 15.04 [00:51] ohh [00:51] 14.04 is lts [00:51] if you don't upgrade often due to a slow connection, i'd recommend going with an LTS [00:52] genewitch: thx [00:52] how to know if 32 bit or 54 bit [00:52] i can torront things quite fast [00:52] 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/ partition [00:53] can i leave my steam files on that harddrive? [00:53] Waldeinsamkeit, go with 32 if you aren't sure; it's compatible with both [00:53] well i have a very new mother board and cpu [00:53] Waldeinsamkeit, you can if you'd like. you can run linux on one drive, and your /home/ partition on another [00:53] im sure theres a way to check [00:53] you'll get a bit better performance that way too [00:54] Waldeinsamkeit: 99% sure you want 64 bit [00:54] Waldeinsamkeit, uname -a [00:54] you can check with that tho [00:54] same [00:54] you only need 32 bit these days for specific reasons (like 512MB ram instances or whatever) [00:54] or old software [00:55] uhhh [00:55] that says im 32 [00:55] 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 is [00:55] it'll say X86 or X86_64 [00:55] the output should be one line, just paste it here === Ranieri_ is now known as BigDick_ [00:55] Linux sysop-Satellite-A215 3.11.0-18-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 18 21:13:28 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux [00:55] i'm more curious what the cpuinfo says now haha [00:56] i agree [00:56] this os is from a different computer [00:56] hence the kernal issues [00:56] its from a 10 year old computer [00:56] i just have files on it i need [00:56] yeah that one would be 32bit [00:56] yes [00:57] how do i check what i should be running based on my hardware [00:57] i know what im currently running [00:57] Waldeinsamkeit: can you pastebin the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:57] how to know if 32 bit or 54 bit coulda fooled me [00:57] do like cat /proc/cpuinfo >cpudata.txt && gedit cpuinfo.txt [00:57] guys how do i find /edit ?

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. I've never done either and was trying to pick the least difficult to install and issue some sort of authentication. I do not w [01:00] ftp [01:00] cliff1245: ftp is fine, but what don't you want? [01:01] ftp must die, use sftp :P [01:01] sftp is crap for large files [01:01] that's like saying IRC is crap switch to FB chat [01:01] ubuntu-15.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent 23-Apr-2015 10:54 24K Server install image for 64-bit PC (AMD64) computers (BitTorrent download) [01:01] so is that the 64 bit one i need?

[01:03] SEE YOU IN FIVE HOURS [01:03] i have no cd drive [01:04] naw it should only take like one hour [01:04] Waldeinsamkeit: then yes, you need a flash drive [01:04] at most [01:04] Thanks! Do you think I should install vsftp? [01:04] and unetbootin [01:04] can i use a harddrive? [01:04] i have many harddrives [01:04] Waldeinsamkeit: not really [01:04] can i just mount it to a thrid harddrive? [01:04] ohh ok. [01:04] genewitch [01:04] flashdrive it is [01:04] ill hunt one down [01:04] cya [01:04] Waldeinsamkeit: unetbootin [01:05] I'm trying to mount the data part of a CD-ROM that is identified as an audio disc. I've tried on a windows PC and a Mac and every system I've tried can only see the CD-Audio part [01:05] I've tried to mount as iso9660 as well http://pastebin.centos.org/28946/raw/ [01:05] Anonomous: i'm not really having enough time to walk through a grub edit with you i am hoping that there's a FAQ or help page for it [01:05] unetbootin <- know to cause issues with hybrid isos (like ubuntu's), use with care... [01:05] zykotick9: when did unetbootin stop working for ubuntu? [01:05] Has anyone used vsftp? [01:05] i just want to knnow were to find edit folder [01:05] (mute) [01:05] genewitch: oh it works... sometimes... [01:05] because it has a special entry for ubuntu to have non-volatile storage even [01:06] Anonomous: there's no edit folder [01:06] well the edit dir [01:06] genewitch: i actually had one case where unetbootin saved me! and default ubuntu/debian iso's failed - but that was a very particular case... <- but still, i'd suggest avoiding unetbootin where possible [01:06] zykotick9: dd? [01:07] Anonomous: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html [01:07] genewitch: i like cp/cat better, but dd works... [01:07] i always "burn" flash drives on windows where it works fine [01:07] i know the linux version has some issues [01:07] especially when trying to boot on older hardware [01:07] Anonomous: ?? There is no edit folder in a default install of 'buntus . What is your goal here ? [01:07] Also, if I left the server listening to the public, how vulnerable would I be to having an attacker get into the server if I used ftp?? [01:08] cliff1245: 100% [01:08] hey 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 ? [01:09] cliff1245: this is on the DMZ? why do you care if someone gets in? [01:09] http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FtpMustDie [01:09] that is my goal [01:09] gut i got th emanual now. seems fairly short and not too coplicated. some ligt reading for bed [01:09] I don't want the data being disseminated. === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [01:10] cliff1245: sneakernet [01:10] not possible. [01:10] cliff1245: then you need to restrict by IP [01:11] oh man we got a storm brewing over here. may get booted offline. i'm catching up on old mesg now [01:11] It's unknown. I was recommended to try sftp? [01:11] cliff1245: 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 really [01:11] cliff1245: you want to restrict by IP [01:11] Anonomous: Then you want to edit the "/etc/default/grub' file . After viewing " /boot/grub/grub.cfg' and counting the menu enties there. [01:11] you can do that manually. or automate it [01:11] Bashing-om: i want to edit the boot screen of grub [01:12] !grub | ano [01:12] ano: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [01:12] Bashing-om: thank you sir [01:12] Anonomous: you're probably using grub2 [01:12] genewitch: yeup [01:12] Bashing-om: actually, i think customizing the menu requires editing /etc/grub.d/ files... [01:13] ^ recalls it being a big PITA... [01:13] it's just re-arranging it. really, what he wants is to change the default entry [01:13] ahh its not /edit its /etc [01:13] he wants windows to be the default entry [01:14] genewitch: oh, just setting one entry as default is easy, and in Bashing-om's suggested /etc/grub/grub.cfg [01:14] zykotick9: 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. [01:15] Bashing-om: ya, sorry. see above ;) [01:15] zykotick9: :) . I be slow ! [01:15] Anonomous: see what Bashing-om said, you want to set windows to default [01:16] okay i've paid my penance for asking a dumb question now (hrr reboot to fix) [01:16] have a good one, fellas. [01:17] I am having trouble installing ubuntu server on my server..it gets to install grub and has a fatal error [01:18] genewitch, i know linux, but this whole irc thing is sort of new to me. i hadn't known of those bots until tonight [01:18] 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. [01:19] help I want to manually configure my connection and ubuntu is overriding my shit what do I need to kill for it to work [01:19] I got a goat ready :D [01:19] drocsid: try purge rather than remove, however you generally do not need to reinstall. [01:21] hwt62vd: I will try that, thanks [01:21] medfly, check the files in /etc/network/ [01:22] nvm I stopped the network-manager service I think it works [01:22] drocsid: actually, lesson is "don't delete stuff manually!", but here is #debian's "confmiss" factoid http://paste.ubuntu.com/11753982/ [01:22] drocsid: "remove' will not remove config files by design, 'purge' does that - by design . [01:22] Bashing-om: BUT, manually removing is something else! [01:23] zykotick9: Yeah ! Now ya gone and made the package manager very UNhappy . [01:23] Bashing-om: exactly! [01:25] hey 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] so, how do I check if my new SSD has boot set correctly? [01:26] wolftune: when you install, are you selecting the correct SSD? [01:26] god_phantom: this is actually a clone situation, I didn't reinstall [01:26] god_phantom: I know that would be cleanest, but I'm really close to having everything working already [01:26] i understand [01:27] it's all cloned, the system works, I made symlinks so everything functions [01:27] wolftune: The file system table (fstab). ' cat /etc/fstab ' and see what file systems are booted . [01:27] but 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] wolftune: grub may also be an issue... [01:28] zykotick9: yes [01:28] Bashing-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 working [01:28] so, there are three things that *should* be all I need to touch now: boot, grub, fstab [01:28] yeah was gonna say grub.conf === ToBeCloud is now known as Guest32654 [01:29] I 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] wolftune, parted -l [01:30] adam__: I get nothing from that [01:31] wolftune: "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] 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] Good 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] Bashing-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 UUIDs [01:31] mbeacom: Did you restart during the process and was it your root file system? [01:32] that's my understanding [01:32] Loshki_: see my comment just now: I ended up using msdos, so I don't think that does UUID… [01:32] rypervenche: 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 :D [01:32] wolftune: Nevertheless, if you pastebin the output of bootinfoscript it should tell us tons. [01:32] Loshki_: okay [01:33] mbeacom: some special reason you didn't use gparted? [01:33] Loshki_: On a server!? [01:34] Loshki_: I am running the server on rackspace with no GUI. [01:34] well I have no idea if it works but it hasn't ended yet [01:34] lol [01:34] Loshki_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754033/ [01:34] wrong channel sorry [01:35] Resizing the filesystem on /dev/xvdb1 to 26214144 (4k) blocks. The filesystem on /dev/xvdb1 is now 26214144 blocks long. [01:35] guys how do i access /etc dir ? [01:35] mbeacom: what does dumpe2fs report? [01:35] When I used advanced ubuntu options from grub, my mouse and keyboard won't work, and the resolution isn't full screen anymore. With or without recovery mode. [01:35] I downgraded the kernel from within ubuntu once, but I forget the command. [01:35] Loshki_: for reference, the sdb is the little drive I want to ignore, the main drive is sda [01:36] mbeacom: Are you resizing it on the Xen host or in the guest? [01:37] the reason I made /mount is so that I would get the main drive at all given that it keeps booting with sdb [01:37] 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. [01:38] howto limit a process max usage of cpu and / or memory? [01:38] the commented out UUIDs in the fstab is from my previous set up [01:38] mbeacom: check what dumpe2fs reports on the file-system [01:38] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/AG9ajgDT [01:39] wolftune: You will allways have UUIDs . If I am to assist I will want to see what we are working with . pastebin ' sudo fdisk -lu ; df-h ; sudo blkid ; cat /etc/fstab ' . === xubuntu is now known as Guest46115 [01:39] mbeacom: "Free blocks: 13479619" [01:39] Gnome 3 is the shiz. Just thought I'd put that out there. [01:39] I thought people hate it and think it's unpolished and isn't meant to be used by humans [01:40] editor wars [01:40] i use xmonad [01:40] TJ-: Is there a reason this wouldn't be reflected in df -h ? [01:40] Openbox is fun too [01:40] you know a WM is good when you have to edit the config before your first launch to use it [01:40] Bashing-om: okay, I guess I misunderstood the issues when I was choosing the partition initial set up, anyway, here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754059/ [01:41] TJ-: df -h is displaying 50G 47G 0 100% / [01:41] Bashing-om: as I posted otherwise just now, the commented out stuff relates to my previous set up with an old drive (with multiple partitions) [01:41] wolftune: Look'n .. be advised I have ISP issues presently .. loosing connection . I will do what I can . [01:41] Bashing-om: okay, thanks [01:42] mbeacom: Are you sure the volume you think is mounted as / is that one? If you cloned them the UUIDs will be the same [01:42] xyzzy__: 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] TJ-: The mounted file system is /dev/xvdb1 at /. /dev/xvda1 was my original / device. [01:43] mbeacom: is the fstab using device nodes not UUIDs then? can you show me "cat /proc/mounts" ? [01:44] TJ-: http://pastebin.com/cT1L6rzM [01:44] TJ-: fstab is indeed using device nodes and not UUIDs. [01:44] just run it [01:44] Is there a way to do a fresh installation without wiping GRUB? [01:44] mbeacom: the mount point for / is a UUID: check its symlink device: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/02d3bbc2-d713-4a02-a1c2-7f83f61299a2" [01:45] * wrong tab, sorry [01:45] TJ-: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 22 01:25 /dev/disk/by-uuid/02d3bbc2-d713-4a02-a1c2-7f83f61299a2 -> ../../xvdb1 [01:46] Bashing-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… :P [01:46] mbeacom: and now show me "dumpe2fs /dev/xvda1 | grep UUID" [01:46] i am getting unable to install GRUB /dev/**** [01:46] TJ-: Oh boy. hah... Filesystem UUID: 02d3bbc2-d713-4a02-a1c2-7f83f61299a2 [01:47] 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 symlink [01:47] sorry grub-install /dev/126 [01:48] mbeacom: use "tune2fs -U random /dev/xda1" to change that UUID and then reboot [01:49] wolftune: sdb1's etc/fstab looks bad. It should mount to / ? [01:49] wolftune: line 808 in your paste. [01:49] wolftune: 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 . [01:50] Bashing-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 drive [01:50] 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] TJ-: 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 ! [01:51] Loshki_: 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] Loshki_: the little sdb has only root but no /home /opt or /tmp [01:51] wolftune: 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] mbeacom: has the grub boot line been updated? If GRUB is specifying the root= using the UUID then it's understandable [01:51] Loshki_: so, to get /home /opt and /tmp, I had to link to those mounted on sda [01:52] howto limit a process max usage of cpu and / or memory? [01:52] Bashing-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 do [01:52] Loshki_: Using a GUI on a *nix server for administration is a great way to get fired, as well as not being taken seriously [01:53] TJ-: mere prejudice. It's not like you're running k3b or the gimp. [01:53] Loshki_: not at all. The more libraries and tools installed the greater the attack surface for malicious software, and the Xorg stack is large [01:54] TJ-: Very odd... `/dev/xvdb1 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,noatime,barrier=0 0 1` is the only entry in /etc/fstab [01:54] Loshki_: Bashing-om: here's the fstab already on sda, the drive I *want* to be using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754120/ [01:54] wolftune: dinner time. Will look forward to reading how it turns out... [01:54] mbeacon but update-grub will translate that into a UUID ... look in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [01:55] wolftune: Checking the new fstab . gimme a bit . [01:58] wolftune: 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] Bashing-om: sure [01:59] you guys doing cryptab? feel free to ignore me cause i came in late [01:59] Bashing-om: but I need to figure out sda1's UUID right? [02:00] wolftune, use blkid for that [02:00] sudo, if needed [02:00] ^ [02:01] If i want to advance my ubuntu desktop user - what to do [02:01] user skill [02:01] wolftune: Change " / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation ' to " / is on /dev/sda1 as of 21jun15 and replace the UUID 82174999-4881-4475-8d12-25652dc0db33 on the next line with 16500500-eff4-408e-846b-52717c571b4d . Make sure you UNcommnet this line. Next we do the swap partition assignment. [02:03] Bashing-om: I made that change (well I left the old lines commented, but I made the active line into what you said) [02:03] Bashing-om: ready to do the swap assignment then [02:03] Bashing-om: all this is on the fstab that lives on sda1 of course [02:04] TJ-: Usage of /: 47.7% of 98.30GB :D Thanks! [02:04] wolftune: Documentation for any edit is always important - at some later time. I am preparing the next edit for swap. stand by. [02:04] mbeacom: easy when you've seen it before :) [02:04] im a programmer.. so im sorta fluent in bash but i do lack skills in OS workings. Really need to get to the next level with ubuntu desktop (and server).. become more of a power user so to speak [02:05] Bashing-om: agreed re: docs, I did make a line explaining the situation and the date [02:05] ok [02:05] SupaYoshi, cli is your friend [02:05] so i got the iso downloaded [02:05] and my fiels backed up [02:05] but i have no flash driv3e [02:05] anywhere in the house [02:05] oh tab fail. Squarism cli is your friend [02:05] nor do i have a cd drive in my computer [02:06] soooo [02:06] any ideas? [02:06] adam__, CLI = bash right? [02:06] Squarism, cli is 'command line interface' [02:06] learn how to get fancy with it, and then put those commands into a bash script for awesomeness [02:07] wolftune: change " # swap was on /dev/sda9 " to " # swap is on /dev/sda2 as of 21jun15" and the next line change " 438d66a9-3409-4433-b18a-92b6d483243b ' to " ca9f7c69-96e7-4501-81bc-2b7f7b87e49b " UNcomment this line. [02:07] adam__, im down with bash / terminal / cli... i think i should learn run levels / services / directory layouts / automated reinstall / api's [02:08] please guys help me install ubontu to my computer [02:08] i backed up my home [02:08] and downlaoded the iso [02:08] i have no flash drive or cd drive htough [02:08] so how do i do this?> [02:08] Waldeinsamkeit, without usb or cdrom, options are minimal. give us time to find something, if we can at all [02:08] ok. [02:09] Waldeinsamkeit: Be careful not to fill the channel with your issue, try to consolidate the comments. [02:09] ok sorry [02:09] we've al ben there ;) [02:09] Squarism, you'll learn quickest by messing up numerous installations haha perhaps virtual machines can help ease the pain of reinstalling all the time as you go [02:10] i don't know if you guys are doing cryptswap, but the way i got it working, was just suding /dev/sdx instead of uuid in crypttab [02:10] you can't hibernate properly without doing the password prompt setup though [02:10] adam__, haha.. exactly what i want to avoid.. i dont dare reinstall [02:10] Waldeinsamkeit: if you already have grub, newer versions will boot from an on-disk iso. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [02:10] *adding [02:11] adam__, yep.. definently should look into vagrant and such [02:11] Bashing-om: okay done, thanks [02:12] Bashing-om: So, that seems like a good fstab file now [02:13] hi [02:13] Bashing-om: should I just try rebooting or should I now do something with grub (maybe on a live USB boot)? [02:13] wolftune: Next Advise please to the best of your knowlege that your /home resides within the install that is presently 'sda1' . [02:14] ok guys [02:14] i have three harddrives in my comp [02:14] one which is not being used at all [02:14] could i just wipe that or something [02:14] and mount the iso there and boot from it? [02:15] wolftune: ^^ If my last is true that /home is on sda1 install then remove all the symlinks you have made . As we will re-install grub . and no other links will be required . IF /home is also included on 'sda1' . [02:15] Bashing-om: yes, /home is on sda1 [02:15] Bashing-om: the symlinks are *only* on sdb2 though, so can't I just leave them alone? [02:16] Bashing-om: to clarify, the fstab that lives on sdb2 says to mount sda1 to /mount and the symlinks are all linking /home to /mount/home etc. [02:17] wolftune: Then re,move the symlinks to everything. we will not need them . Then we re-install grub from a liveDVD . A good chance will be good 'nuff, else we step up to a chroot/purg/install routine .// right now sdb is not in the picture . Not even to be considered . [02:17] Bashing-om: er I meant sdb1 [02:18] Bashing-om: okay, I'm just hesitant because everything is working right now, except being tied to the wonky little drive… [02:18] Bashing-om: okay, I will remove the symlinks [02:18] wolftune: To be safe and sure, show me the current '/e/tc/fstab' file that is on sda1 . [02:18] ok [02:18] Bashing-om: hmm, but they are being used right now… I guess I should remove after rebooting with USB stick? [02:18] so i added one more hd to my computer [02:19] seems its partinted into two seperate 10 gb partions [02:19] and a 219 gb partion [02:19] could i set that 300 gb hard drive up to boot my iso off of? [02:20] Bashing-om: current fstab on sda1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754211/ [02:21] Bashing-om: when you say ok, I'll reboot with USB [02:21] hello? [02:21] wolftune: checking . standby. [02:21] i need something to manage partitions [02:22] and to wipe my harddrive with [02:22] and then something to mount my iso to it [02:22] soo i can boot from it [02:22] seems like somehow i can make a spare hard drive work as a flashdrive === Ladon_ is now known as Ladon [02:23] I am trying to find some help with upgrading/updating firmware on an udoo which run udoobuntu. I know this is not the same distro, but was wondering in general, how does one upgrade firmware for sata controllers? [02:24] wolftune: HUH ?? I see no changes ! Did you not save the file when you made the directed changes ??? [02:25] Bashing-om: all the lines in the top are the same, but they are all commented. The active lines are added at the bottom [02:26] wolftune: Never themind .. I see thwem I see them .. I just got dis-cumbulated. back to checking . sorry . [02:26] 'sokay, sorry for my quirks in not following your instructions 100% [02:27] is there a way to change the colors of window icon from brown? [02:28] wolftune: Is OK, file looks good . It is your system we do it your way . OK, let's boot the liveUSB . Change the boot order in bios for the USB . Advise when ready for next . [02:28] Hello Room, i am trying to set up a raid 1 system the setup is as follows HDD 1 System hdd 150GB HDD2,3 RAID 1 250GB space [02:28] Bashing-om: will take some minutes to reboot, back soon [02:29] wolftune: If my ISP holds up, I will be here . [02:31] hey [02:31] how do i grow my partition with disks [02:32] Waldeinsamkeit: you have to have the partitions unmounted, are they? [02:32] yes [02:32] i found some new hardrives [02:32] now maby i can mount my iso to them and install new os [02:32] Waldeinsamkeit: I use gparted so can't help with this app, just checking your close. [02:33] im downloading gparted right now [02:33] ubutuns built in partion manger sucks [02:33] Waldeinsamkeit: You need to get a flash drive, or a disc reader, a flash with the live is your best tool always to have around. [02:33] uhh [02:34] no flashdrive here [02:34] anywhere [02:34] and its 9:34 [02:34] Waldeinsamkeit: Yes we all know that. [02:34] and my mom is most certnuly not going to get one [02:34] so im stuck [02:34] with no flashdrives [02:35] Waldeinsamkeit: 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] yo don't hand the doctor a pocket knife for surgery [02:38] hwt62vd: 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] no idea [02:38] hello [02:38] i got gparted [02:38] how do i merge partiioons with it? [02:39] Waldeinsamkeit, they have to be physically next to each other to merge, so you probably have to move things first [02:39] what do you mean? [02:39] in gparted i have fat32 unallocated and ext4 [02:39] Waldeinsamkeit, 1, 3, 2 must be 1, 2, 3 [02:39] i want to merge unalloc ated with ext4 [02:40] ohh ok [02:40] i have 28.61 on ynallocated space [02:40] all my hard drives have unallocated space [02:40] how do i get rid of it? [02:41] Waldeinsamkeit, merge with your /home partition [02:41] Waldeinsamkeit: small areas between partitions? [02:41] uhh [02:41] yeah [02:41] bingo [02:41] when i delted partitions [02:41] i now have left overs [02:41] Waldeinsamkeit, space between parts is normal [02:41] i want to merge those into my main partition [02:42] i had one of my hardives partion into three parts for whatever unknow reason [02:42] 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 me [02:42] now it has 28.61 gb of unallocated unused space [02:42] thats 30 gb of unused space... [02:42] that's... a lot of unallocated space. nvm what i just said [02:42] yeah [02:42] i know what your talking about [02:42] i always see like 1mb bits [02:42] ay [02:42] ya* [02:42] this is not the same thing [02:42] i had two huge partions [02:42] and i delete one [02:43] sorry, i'm going back and forth in front of the computer and not [02:43] now i have a left over one [02:43] how do i merge it back into my main one [02:43] Bashing-om: hi it's wolftune [02:43] you would actually resize your main one [02:43] gparted should be able to expand it [02:43] yes to what? [02:43] Bashing-om: I'm on the USB boot now [02:43] gparted will have a dialog where you can drag-drop the partition size a bit [02:44] that should make it ( current size + unallocated size ) [02:44] i see i see [02:44] if you use it all [02:44] yes yes very usefull [02:44] wtf [02:45] it takes two hours? [02:45] it can vary. what filesystem is that again? [02:45] like... ext4/3 [02:45] ext4 [02:46] 2 hours.... [02:46] i might as just go to bed... [02:46] 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, ect [02:46] i'm not nerdy enough for those details, but yeah it takes what it takes [02:47] well [02:47] the post-operation estimates can be way off, though [02:47] cya guys [02:47] ksx4system: 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/ ' . If those are positive we proceed . [02:47] ill do this tommrow [02:47] and ill get a flashdrive... [02:52] Bashing-om: I have vmlinuz [02:52] oh wait hmm [02:53] ksx4system: K [02:54] Bashing-om: sidenote kxstudio != ksx4system [02:54] Bashing-om: ok, yea, all is present [02:55] hello? [02:55] zykotick9: Thak goodness, someone has my back ! . [02:55] someone say "hi" if you can hear me. [02:56] leo__: hi [02:56] first irc session :D [02:56] leo__: ever? [02:56] hi leo_ :) [02:56] since 90's :D [02:56] leo__: well, welcome [02:57] leo__: leo!! [02:57] wow, you been gone for awhile, welcome back [02:58] kxstudio: 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] Bashing-om: for reference, there are zero systems connected that aren't Ubuntu, so there's nothing else that I could boot ;) [02:59] Bashing-om: okay restarting now [03:00] kxstudio: :) . Put a smile on our face and tell me we boot that 1st hard drive . [03:01] 14.10 is the latest stable version? [03:01] BigJ: i look at the date and think 15.04 should exist... [03:02] how can you go from 14.10 to 15.04? [03:02] BigJ: No, latest release is 15.04 .. latest LTS release is 14.04 . [03:04] BigJ: System is fully updated, upgraded, All PPA are disabled, inclusive of proprietary drivers, and in software sources that "next release' is set . [03:05] is 15.05 the fist ubuntu with systemd? [03:05] s/15.05/15.04/ [03:06] zykotick9: Yes indeed, Going to have to do some homework to catch up on systemd . [03:06] Bashing-om: cool, thanks. [03:06] * zykotick9 notes systemd is different... ;) [03:07] Bashing-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 driver [03:09] Bashing-om: no go :( [03:09] oh... is hibernate renabled by default in 15.04? "systemctl hibernate" <- perhaps even without sudo?! might hibernate systems [03:10] Bashing-om: what happens is, I end up just at the grub> prompt [03:10] Bashing-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) [03:11] agh, they left, hope they come back! [03:12] hey all [03:12] Bashing-om: you're back :) did you get that last couple messages? [03:13] how do i delete orphaned entries in my applications menu? [03:13] i uninstalled wine, but i still have a 'wine' directory in my applications menu [03:14] kxstudio: No I did not get them .. my ISP dropped me . Say again all after XX:05 time . [03:14] Bashing-om: what happens is, I end up just at the grub> prompt [03:14] Bashing-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) [03:14] stiv2k: using apt to remove/purge something doesn't touch your home folder! i but that's what's left over... [03:14] zykotick9: right [03:14] zykotick9: soo.... how do i fix it? [03:14] stiv2k: try this for i in {/usr,~/.local}/share/applications/*.desktop; do which $(grep -Poh '(?<=Exec=).*?( |$)' $i) > /dev/null || echo $i; done [03:15] oldboy1: i tried that, but it did not list anything about wine [03:15] stiv2k: ? <- with i knew. good luck. [03:15] s/with/wish/ [03:16] is there any channel for graph theory and distributed systems? rockstar__ [03:16] kxstudio: 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] oldboy1: i got it [03:17] tweaked the command to get every file, not just *.desktop [03:18] Bashing-om: I do have possibly another computer I could use so I could try that if it's really better way to go [03:18] kxstudio: Are you presently at that grub > prompt ? [03:18] kxstudio: I.e. another system so I can still chat while dealing with that [03:18] Bashing-om: no, I'm back on the USB boot [03:19] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER OrangeMan krjluhhshcqq [03:20] lkuagdsyuliftq [03:21] kxstudio: 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 . [03:22] Bashing-om: I can use the other computer and go back to the grub prompt or do whatever here, whatever you advise [03:23] kxstudio: 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 . [03:24] Bashing-om: what about this option? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [03:29] Bashing-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 okay [03:31] hmm, 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] but I have both of those installed? [03:31] kxstudio: 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 . === pants is now known as Guest71059 [03:33] hmm, looks like a confirmed ubuntu bug, never mind [03:33] The awesome software is published, You can use the trial version of Sticky Notes. [03:33] http://korsoftware.com [03:33] Bashing-om: you could advise me in using that with manual options or we could go back to grub prompt, whichever you think [03:34] kxstudio: I do prefer to "try" and boot from the grub > prompt . not at all invasive if we fail . [03:34] Bashing-om: okay [03:36] \quit [03:40] can i set up a raid 1 after i install install ubuntu on the main system? [03:42] Bashing-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 prompt [03:42] The awesome software is published, You can use the trial version of Sticky Notes. [03:42] http://korsoftware.com [03:43] wolft: No hurry . At your pace . [03:43] Jakethepython1, you should be able to. setup the one drive, then boot into it and add the other to the array, then rebuild it [03:43] OK. the main system disk is not in the array of RAID [03:43] the 2 raid HDDS are for storage only [03:44] ? [03:44] Bashing-om: okay, at grub prompt [03:44] 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. [03:45] all rebuilding will do is duplicate the data across drives [03:45] ok thanks [03:45] assuming raid 0 [03:45] i want a raid 1 on 2 hdds [03:45] assuming radi 1* [03:45] sorry [03:45] its ok [03:45] raid 0 has to be done at the startd [03:45] becasue of LVM and EFI i wasn't able to install [03:45] my entire UI has crashed [03:45] can i restart it from terminal? [03:46] ubunut w/ out remove the 2 hard drives w. raid [03:46] it gave me a grub cannot install error [03:46] crazyhorse18, sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart though lightdm may need to be gdm [03:46] hmm, i haven't got a terminal window open [03:46] i've got sublime text.. but don't know how to output commands from that [03:48] wolft: 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 . [03:49] wolft: OH shoot .. I messed up one of them . [03:50] Bashing-om: I didn't enter any yet [03:50] Bashing-om: incidentally "set prefix" didn't work with tab-completion, so that was odd [03:51] wolft: 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 ! [03:52] Bashing-om: this is probably what happened earlier! There's hd0 and hd1, I think we tried hd0 before, don't remember for certain [03:52] Bashing-om: please confirm that I want hd1 and not hd0 or otherwise tell me how to check to be sure [03:53] wolft: That could be as expected that tab will not complete , as the location of files is not known at this time . [03:53] Bashing-om: re: tab completion, I thought that "prefix" the word itself would tab complete. Incidentally, hd0 and hd1 *do* tab complete as options [03:53] wolft: I am some kind of tired, you are correct .. it is (hd0,msdos1) .. sheesshh . [03:54] Bashing-om: are you sure? Because if we have this backwards, I'll be back to using the wrong drive, right? [03:56] wolft: 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] hmm i can't boot ubuntu.. how can i get into a terminal window [03:57] The awesome software is published, You can use the trial version of Sticky Notes. [03:57] http://korsoftware.com [03:57] Bashing-om: okay, and yeah I got partition info from the prompt too and that confirms it [03:57] i've got into the recovery menu.. but it only allows you to boot into a read only prompt [03:57] dupingping don't do that. no spam in channel, please. [03:58] Bashing-om: i wish your sda -> hd0 grub was true... [03:58] cfhowlett, yes. [03:59] zykotick9: OK, I am willing to be educated .. why is grub hd0 not the system sda ? [03:59] Bashing-om: /dev/sdX is subject to change! uuid/labels are constant... but sdXY are NOT [04:00] hey 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 detected [04:00] Bashing-om: often, but not always, what you boot off of will be sda [04:00] wolft: 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 ' . [04:02] Bashing-om: I am now at a prompt, booted, but not at my GUI [04:02] Bashing-om: it's asking me to log in, like as though I had hit ctrl-alt F1 [04:02] zykotick9: OH, so true ! many times a USB thumb drive is picked up first and becomes 'sda' . [04:02] wolft: Outstanding ! login ! [04:03] Bashing-om: in the "good ol' days" it was _more_ likely to be true ;) [04:03] wolft: At this time we do not need a GUI . [04:03] Bashing-om: ok, and then I tried startx but that failed [04:03] i'm freshly installing ubuntu 14.04. is there a way i can see all the highest review software installed? like top 100 reviewed ones on ubuntu? [04:03] for all categories in one shot [04:04] Bashing-om: okay, well, I'm logged in to my own user prompt anyway... [04:04] gagalicious: That would not be a smart thing to do. [04:05] wol ok, run terminal command ' sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda ' . [04:05] Bashing-om: I do see /deve/sda1 on / ... when running mount! :) [04:05] gagalicious, software center does provide ratings [04:06] wolft: We do make progress . just a matter of getting grub straight now . [04:06] Bashing-om: okay that grub-install command is done, no errors === dan_ is now known as Guest31652 [04:07] wolft: Cross finger, ' sudo shutdown -r now ' and let's see if ya come back up with the proper boot . [04:07] cfhowlett : top 100 ubuntu software? [04:07] rypervenche: why not? i'm installing for pxe boot clients. just try to install the best software [04:08] Bashing-om: I'm all booted up in the system! :) [04:08] Bashing-om: NO!! [04:08] Bashing-om: My / is still sdb! [04:08] how come there is no fslint with ubuntu 14.04? [04:08] gagalicious: "popular" and "best" don't mean they should be installed on your system. If you aren't using nvidia drivers, but it is in that list...you don't need that. [04:09] what's a good backup (time machine) style for ubuntu 14.04 for home folders? [04:09] ... with git support will be best. [04:09] !backup | gagalicious [04:09] gagalicious: There are many ways to back your system up.

[04:10] how do i enable universe? :) [04:10] cfhowlett: thanks. checking [04:12] wolft: K. then we have recursion from within the present /grub/grub.dcg file ! .. we purge grub and re-install . [04:13] i have one tiny complain with apt-get... i realised it doesnt download all the things in parallel. [04:13] Bashing-om: do I need to restart from USB again? [04:13] how do I remove the white spaces in a table in MySQL? [04:16] i have ubuntu 15.04 is it possible for me to install the latest intel graphics drivers? [04:17] wolft: No, I am afraid of loosing you, we could from the usb, but let's boot back up from the grub > prompt . and purge/re-install once booted back to the command line in the install . [04:17] Bashing-om: I can stay connected on this computer whether I use USB on the other computer or not [04:17] do I need to see a dr about this http://www.bestgore.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/vagina-growth-500x419.jpg [04:17] tomhardy, yes, intel supports 15.04 [04:18] Bashing-om: but anyway, how do I get to the grub prompt now that it boots otherwise? [04:18] i can't boot my OS [04:18] H0bbit, stopy your silliness [04:18] because of "Low-graphics mode" [04:18] it's been working for 4 days fine (new install).. then this morning it just stopped working [04:18] tomhardy, rm -rfv --nopreserveroot should fix it [04:19] Bashing-om: right now, I'm running the system normally (with sdb as / ) so I could just use a terminal as normal [04:19] H0bbit: go f*** yourself [04:19] tomhardy, no profanity so stop. don't feed the trolls. [04:20] can't stand assholes like that.. what if it had been some new user who was just setting ubuntu for the first time and had actually run the command [04:20] tomhardy, I already did fk myself, I beat my meat 3 times a day [04:20] !ops | tomhardy H0bbit [04:20] tomhardy H0bbit: Help!

[04:22] wolft: Lost it again (ISP) did you get my xx:17 entry ? [04:22] what did I do? [04:22] h0bbit is gone [04:22] let's just stay on topic with support pleasre. [04:22] -r [04:22] Bashing-om: yes I saw, we need to purge/re-install [04:23] Bashing-om: I can stay connected on this computer whether I use USB on the other computer or not [04:23] please* [04:23] Bashing-om: but anyway, how do I get to the grub prompt now that it boots otherwise? [04:23] Bashing-om: right now, I'm running the system normally (with sdb as / ) so I could just use a terminal as normal [04:24] tomhardy: did you install or update anything? [04:25] grinchier: i wasnt' doing anything except creating directories in ~/Desktop/test [04:25] oh damnit! 2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD) [04:25] i created 7 directories each with permissions on the group from 1 to 7 for some tests [04:25] wolft: Next step up trying to manintain non-invasiveness ' sudo apt-get remove --purge grub grub-pc grub-common ; sudo mv /boot/grub /boot/grub_backup ; sudo mkdir /boot/grub ; sudo apt-get install grub-pc grub-common ; sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda ; sudo update-grub; ' // ignore the erors about grub-pc and just go on . [04:26] now hat I understand, that *might* mean it *is* a connection problem with the main drive! [04:26] tomhardy: anything in xorg log? [04:26] (not with the disk itself, just replaced that, but with some connection) [04:26] the entire screen locked up, and after rebooted [04:26] syslog, boot log any clues? [04:26] hmm [04:26] ok i'll take a log [04:27] wolft: The above commands booted to the sda1 install from the grub> prompt . else will not work . [04:28] Hi! I'm trying yo add the Debian DVD's to my Ubuntu repositorie becouse the computer dont has access to the internet. I know it isn't a good idea, but I must do it. apt-cdrom add is not working so I whant to add it manualy. ¿Do anyone know what I need after deb cdrom:? [04:28] wolft: IF bios sees the drive we are OK, IF bios does not recognize the drive then can not pass it off to the operating system . [04:28] Bashing-om: I've never successfully booted from the sda1 ever [04:28] ok so xorg.log has 100 lines of "add input device HDA iINtel PCH LINE .. no input driver speicfied, ignoring this dedivce... but it all looks like sound stuff [04:28] Bashing-om: er, never with it as / anyway [04:28] is it possible for me to pump the xorg log to pastie? [04:28] from command line? [04:29] Bashing-om: since I think there's grub on both drives, I don't know how to trust that boot was from sda [04:29] wolft: HUH ? did we not just do that booting the 6 commands from the grub > prompt ? [04:29] i've enabled networking [04:29] maybe someone can tell you the command to do that [04:29] Bashing-om: yes we did, okay so that's assured? [04:29] tomhardy: pastebinit? [04:29] Loshki_: thanks i'll check it out [04:29] Bashing-om: I got to the grub> prompt [04:30] Bashing-om: should I just do boot and then do those commands in the normal terminal? [04:30] how to logrotate rsyslog with template like this '/logs/%fromhost-ip%/' ? [04:31] wolft: Yes, assured, If ya want to test .. try replacing 'hd0,msdos1' with 'hd1,msdos1' ( i would have to verify that the '/' is installed on sdb to that 1st partition on sdb ). === Guest97037 is now known as Tm_T [04:32] Bashing-om: that's okay, I verified enough [04:32] tomhardy: http://simpledeveloper.com/system-running-in-low-graphics-mode/ worth a shot [04:33] thanks i'll try that [04:33] wolft: Yeah, I am trying to do this in the safest way possible so I do not leave you in a hurt if/when I loose connection . Boot via the grub > prompt with the 6 commands. then run the last sequence to purge grub as is present and make up a new one . [04:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754655/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754653/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11754659/ << syslog, xorg, boot [04:34] looks like boot.log stops on LDM === genewitch is now known as password35e-2 === password35e-2 is now known as genewitch [04:37] do i want gdm or lightdm as the default graphics manager? [04:37] lotuspsychje: purchased the ssd and got ubuntu installed in the external ssd. now I can boot up ubuntu on my mac via refind boot manager. blazing fast with the ssd, as you said. very cool. no need to buy a new laptop :-) thanks. [04:38] Bashing-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 sdb [04:38] tomhardy, either should work [04:38] Bashing-om: in other words, the purge purged sdb grub, but not sda grub [04:38] wolft: I'm back running but still sdb as / [04:38] ok... 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 so [04:39] tomhardy, for less chance of complications though, choose gdm [04:39] aah i was too late. it's no biggie. which did you go with though? [04:39] hmm.. lihggtdm.. still in low-graphcis mode [04:39] question, is it possible to install a bootloader on a macbook so that i can get into linux that was just installed? [04:39] Bashing-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 that [04:39] i'm not dualbooting, i just have linux on there for now [04:39] tomhardy: ya i don't see anything in those logs i can find man [04:40] have you tried to start gdm? [04:40] Bashing-om: but I should figure out how to purge grub stuff from sda and reinstall [04:40] hmmm so try again.. but this time with gdm? [04:40] go a tty, login and type gdm just for the hell of it [04:40] grinchier: start gdm? i can reinstall that package [04:40] oh [04:40] i chose lightdm [04:40] did you recenlty remove it to install ldm? [04:41] wolft: 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] gdm was an option, so it's already installed just not default [04:41] i just followed this guide mode [04:41] http://simpledeveloper.com/system-running-in-low-graphics-mode/ [04:41] oh ok see what happens [04:42] wolft: Another thought ! What is set in bios as that 1st boot priority ??? [04:43] Bashing-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 /grub [04:43] Bashing-om: bios is set to have the sda drive as 1st priority [04:43] i got some odd errors when installing .. i got "failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to sockect /var/run/debugs/system_bus_sockets: confnection refused.... and error getting authority error initializing authority: could not connect: connnection refused (g-io-error-quark, 39) [04:44] sorry touch typing that. so not a copy and paste [04:44] that was with sudo apt-get install gdm [04:45] has anyone here set up Samba as a domain controller? [04:46] umm [04:47] tomhardy: that just made me crosseyed dude lol [04:47] have you udpated recenlty i mean apt-get upgrade? [04:47] yeah i'm upto the most recent [04:47] apt-get update dist-upgrade.. but not this morning [04:47] wolft: 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 . [04:48] i might try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/614198/starting-version-219-bug-after-the-15-04-update [04:48] i still can't boot with GDM [04:48] Jakethepython1, i'm not sure what you mean by domain controller [04:48] did you try your link? [04:49] Bashing-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 dunno [04:49] FYI adam, i got teh Raid and the System disk all working thanks for the help :) [04:49] Bashing-om: isn't there some grub file I can open to look at? [04:49] glad to hear that [04:50] tomhardy: ya do that man worth a shot === tmro is now known as keroberos [04:50] wolft: How about we boot the liveDVD, mount sda1 and have a look at the /etc/fsstab from that environmnet so we KNOW that the file in the correct place (sda1/etc/fstab)? And yes we can look at the main file grub reads for booting . [04:52] grinchier: did that' still get error initlizing authority [04:53] i wonder how we can delete your xorg.conf and then reinitialize it, but your not using amd or nvidia right, its vesa on an intel card? [04:53] http://c0rp.kz/ubuntu-boot-problem-after-upgrade-14-10-15-04/ [04:53] tomhardy: i actually do see an error here EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. [04:54] grinchier, if you move it ( mv /etc/xorg.conf{,.bak} ) it should regenerate a new one on the next start [04:54] ok i'll try that [04:54] ^ tyr that man [04:54] i know with amd or nvidia its xconfig or amd --initial something like that, I never used an intel card [04:54] Bashing-om: okay restarting from USB [04:55] adam__: : should xorg.conf be in /etc ? [04:55] yes, though the capitilazation may be different [04:55] wolft: K. waiting . [04:57] tomhardy, i just checked on mine and i'm not seeing that file at all, though i suspect your answers lie within /etc/X11/ [04:58] Bashing-om: ok [05:01] Bashing-om: the fstab file is definitely as expected on sda [05:01] wolft: Mount the target partition ' sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ' ; and we check ' cat /mnt/etc/fstab ' compare the UUIDs to the results of ' sudo fdisk -lu ; sudo blkid ' . [05:01] tomhardy: you might want to install fglrx if it doesn't work [05:01] yeah.. i couldn't find any xorg confs.. i'll try that [05:01] if all else fails, i might need to format and start again :/ [05:02] whats your card model again? [05:02] tomhardy: wait [05:02] Intel Xeon E3 - 1200 Version 2 Third Generation Core Processor Graphics Controller [05:03] tomhardy: what video output are you plugged into for intel you shouldn't need xorg.conf [05:04] ianorlin: video output? i've got two monitors.. one is VGA and one is DVI if that's what you mean? [05:04] ianorlin: what driver should he use? [05:04] its using vesa right now [05:05] Bashing-om: all line up correctly [05:05] what's particularly odd though, it's not like i was doing sudo apt-get update.. the whole OS was working really well, adn then just froze while i was using terminal, then on reboot the error appeared [05:06] Bashing-om: I could try that boot-repair tool... [05:07] wolft: OK, let's take a look at the main boot file that grub runs ' cat /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg ' . See if we can spot anything strange . [05:07] tomhardy, hate to go the windows route, but have you done a couple reboots since? something about video on ubuntu seems to take reboots [05:07] yeah 10 times or more [05:07] aww [05:07] ummm [05:08] i see that error appearing all the time [05:08] wolft: We can run boot-repair, but it has been some time since I have used it . My instruction will be a bit iffy . [05:08] ubuntu has the additional drivers thing right? [05:09] I am still working on trying to get bluray to work [05:09] !bluray | blue1 [05:09] Blue1, please see my private message [05:09] grinchier: i reinstalled fglrx.. OS still won't boot past "started crash report submission deamon" [05:10] oh it won't boot? [05:11] i can only get into recovery mode terminal [05:11] Bashing-om: what am I looking for in that file? [05:11] https://askubuntu.com/questions/608130/how-to-run-software-which-requires-the-latest-intel-modules << i could try installing the intel drivers [05:11] I have had problems with fglrx [05:12] wolft: Any UUID that refers to a UUID from 'fdisk' that is referring to sdb . [05:12] Bashing-om: aha, I found a reference in that grub file that refers to sdb's UUID [05:12] several actually [05:13] it's full of references to the UUID of sdb [05:14] wolft: OK, I can not imagine where grub parses what file to pick it up . Ya want to try the invasive method and purge grub once more totally and rebuild ? [05:14] Bashing-om: parses what file? [05:14] grinchier, adam__: thanks for your help, i'm thinking at this point i'll have to make a backup of my new files and then go for a reinstall [05:15] it's lunch time so i have to head off for a bit :) [05:15] tomhardy: ya thats the ppa i use too [05:15] yeah ok i'll try that ppa first [05:15] yup im in [05:15] then if that doesnt' work.. then reinstall [05:15] sorry it wasn't easier. you win some, and you loose some [05:15] Bashing-om: the "invasive method" being what? [05:16] EriC^^: Ya gor me, We have rebuilt 'etc/fstab' to point correctly, purged grub and re-installed, still booting sdb vice sda . and yes boot priority has been checked . [05:16] Anyone know of a good channel for phone hack information? [05:16] wolft: We chroot into the install from the liveUSB, purge grub and re-install . [05:16] try to update-grub Bashing-om [05:16] tomhardy: wish i was more help man, but i don't have experience with your type of system lol [05:16] i can't even find much on google about it [05:16] peterPan, xda-developers [05:17] EriC^^: Yeah, we did 'sudo update-grub' at the end of the re-install. [05:17] thanks [05:17] if you had an amd or nvida card would be alot easier lol === PirateP|Home is now known as PirateP|away [05:17] Bashing-om: fwiw, the grub.cfg file says the date for it is 6/20/15 [05:18] wolft: That file should have been purged ! why not I can not hazzard a guess. [05:19] Bashing-om: there is no grub.cfg on the sdb / [05:19] wolft: As my connection seems stable presntly . Let's do the chroot . [05:20] Bashing-om: and there's a /grub/ directory on sda and not on sdb... [05:20] Bashing-om: okay... [05:20] Bashing-om: we wouldn't want to try manually purging that file and then just reinstalling? [05:20] or? [05:20] whatever you recommend... [05:21] I do have the boot-repair utility and all my data is backed up, so worst worst case, I won't lose important stuff anyway [05:22] wolft: Considering deleteing /grub.cfg . Agreed, can not hurt in the long term . [05:23] Bashing-om: okay removed [05:23] Bashing-om, wolft instead of deleting, what about renaming it? mv /grub.cfg{,.bak} [05:24] adam__: oh yeah, that would have been smart, too late now! :P [05:24] i work on live systems, so it's just how i think [05:25] wolft: OK, to re-build grub.cfg we need to chroot into the install, back out of the presnt mount ; 'sudo umount /mnt' . and we set up for CHRoot . [05:27] umounting done, and there's another command for CHRoot set up? [05:31] wolft: A biggy difference : 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -;- for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done -;- sudo chroot /mnt . where -;- are my separators between commnads. You are now root and in the install for sda1 . [05:31] have any of you used Plank dock? if so, did you keep it or did you switch to something better? === Guest22642 is now known as stmc01 [05:33] Bashing-om: okay done [05:33] TheChips: I found it ok although I do not generally like docks === BUITRE is now known as DON [05:34] Bashing-om: did you fix fstab before grub-install? === DON is now known as Guest35058 [05:34] hey guys, does anyone know how power management is dealt with in Ubuntu 14.10? Specifically, sound driver power? [05:35] EriC^^: Yes we did . that was step 1. [05:36] wolft: Now to build the new grub.cfg; do : 'grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg ' . === Guest35058 is now known as BUITRE [05:37] chrisss123456, probably the same as any else; it issues a suspend command to the driver. do you have anything more specific? [05:38] cool, thanks ianorlin , I found it on a 3rd party site instead of the ubuntu software center, so I wanted to check that it's not useless / malware [05:38] EriC^^: I am really stumped on this one, most welcome to peek over my shoulder . [05:38] TheChips: it is in 15.04 in the repos not sure about trusty or lts versions [05:38] Bashing-om: it said Found .. (linux and initrd stuff) and then: Found Ubuntu 14.04.2 .. on /dev/sdb1 [05:39] adam__: all i remember is that in 14.04 there was some config file for the settings that these sends, where i could turn off the power management for the sound board. [05:39] wolft: That is acceptable . [05:39] Bashing-om: isn't ubuntu on sda1? [05:39] Bashing-om: sdb1? [05:40] wolft: you have ubuntu on sda1 and sdb1? [05:40] EriC^^: this whole process was about moving to a new drive, so I copied the system from the old drive [05:40] so it's still on the old drive? [05:41] EriC^^: 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] eric 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] ok, looks good then [05:42] Bashing-om: but the sdb1 in this command, doesn't that seem like the source for the issue? [05:42] wolft: it found the kernel of sda1, so it's ok [05:42] Bashing-om: if you think we're okay and can go on though... [05:43] wolft: Nope, not at this time - not a problem . IF we were to run update-grub from sdb then it would then create a problem. [05:43] ok [05:43] so, ready for next steps [05:44] wolft: We done here and ready to back out of the CHRoot ? [05:44] if you say so [05:46] Bashing-om: ^ [05:47] wolft: IF 'mkconfig' completed, then we back out and boot up . ' exit ; sudo umount /mnt/run ; sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts ; sudo umount /mnt/sys ; sudo umount /mnt/proc ; sudo umount /mnt/dev ; sudo umount /mnt . Reboot - make sure that sda is 1st boot priority ; and let;s see if we have done it ! [05:52] Bashing-om: not perfect, started up with sdb as / still, but the .cfg on sda now has the right UUID stuff [05:53] Bashing-om: there's reference to that Ubuntu install that was found on sdb [05:53] wolft: did you boot the first entry? [05:53] hello. I tried to install the package nautilus-dropbox from the terminal, and it has been stuck now at what appears to be the end for ever... on my past install i used ubuntu software center to install it and it worked flawlessly. after the download, a setupp for dropbox openned. this time, the terminal is stuck at "Downloading Dropbox... 100%" [05:53] wolft: I can not fathom the why/how sdb could possibly boot ! [05:54] Bashing-om: i think fstab still has sdb's uuid [05:54] and in my list of installed apps is "dropbox", the installer, but it will not open [05:54] and ctrl+c will not stop the terminal [05:54] i think i am screwed [05:54] Okay, I selected a different option in grub this time, Grub said specifically "on sda1" in the grub menu [05:54] all because i tried to install it in the terminal [05:54] please help if you can [05:55] EriC^^: We have checked twice . Wont hurt to look again . [05:55] Bashing-om: so, I know it was booting with sda but still sdb is / [05:55] i dont want to have to do a fresh install because i mess up my packages [05:55] wolft: How do you know that '/' is from sdb ? [05:56] Hi all, is all server listed on http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/server/models/?release=14.04%20LTS&vendors=HP tested for ubuntu openstack ? [05:56] Hey. I got the same problem again. [05:56] Bashing-om: well, I checked the mount points in gparted [05:56] It was fixed my its own yersteday but... === sins-_l is now known as sins- [05:59] wolf: pastebin this dmesg | egrep sd[a-z][0-9] [05:59] wolft: I do have a thought now, as sdb was the original install the recussion is in sdb's grub and when we update sda1's grub it picks up that resurssion from sdb's grub ! [06:00] yeah [06:02] :( 6kbs [06:02] in apt-get update [06:02] sla [06:02] http://bit.ly/1Ro7vsu This leads to askubuntu.com. I got a semi-big problem. [06:02] wolft: So what we have to do is re-install sdb's grub; disable sdb's grub's "30_os-prober" . Then purge sda's grub and (RE-)install grub for sda . [06:03] tomhardy: so you did a reinstall? graphics working right? [06:03] haha.. downloading.. but i'm in mainland china so the ppa.launchpads are coming down very slowly [06:04] The update to 3.13.0-55 sends makes grub simply reboot continuously. Known bug? [06:04] Bashing-om: okay, do I need to do this from USB? [06:05] wolft: Yeah, we can do all that from the liveUSB. Be aware I am some kind of tired and my think'n not to clear. so double check me as we go . [06:05] ok [06:06] wolft: Advise when you are at terminal in the liveUSB . [06:10] Bashing-om: ok [06:10] help [06:12] Bashing-om: I mean, I'm there [06:13] wolft: ' sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb ; sudo chmod -x /mnt/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ; sudo umount /mnt ' // next we redo sda . [06:13] `mount` command is not obeying my fstab after I changed it. Is there any other mount config file? === HalfEatenPie_ is now known as HalfEatenPie [06:14] Bashing-om: warning this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible. [06:15] Are there any DEs/WMs that have one big virtual desktop where you pan across it instead of multiple display-sized ones between which you can switch? I think it'd be cool to have one big desktop where you can pan across like in RTS games [06:15] Bashing-om: warning: Embedding is not possible. ... only use blocklists, however blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. [06:15] Bashing-om: error: will not proceed with blocklists [06:15] wolft: !! yikes ! that is right, sdb is a GPT disks . EriC^^ help ! [06:16] anyone else facing sound issues? headphones work fine, but i get no sound through external speakers. [06:16] nabn: try alsa-mixer [06:16] and by external, i mean those built into the laptop [06:17] EriC^^, I got the same problem [06:17] Look at the post http://bit.ly/1Ro7vsu [06:17] nabn: oops I mean alsamixer (no hyphen) [06:17] It was fixed but now it is broken again [06:17] Bashing-om: sda doesn't use sdb grub, afaik [06:18] wolft: on it. [06:18] Bashing-om: why don't you just erase sdb [06:18] EriC^^: there's definitely something going on here, sda is mounting sdb as / even when I boot with sda and fstab file on sda just uses sda as / [06:19] wolft: are you in a live usb right now? [06:19] EriC^^: the main reason to hesitate to erase sdb is that it is the one way that the system works at all [06:19] EriC^^: I am on a live USB, yes [06:19] ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:19] EriC^^: and I could do reinstalls if truly necessary [06:19] wolft: i don't know what to do with it.. [06:19] EriC^^: but I don't want a bricked system and having to reinstall [06:19] EriC^^: The only thing I can come up with is that sda's grub when os-proper runs picks up that corrput grub.cfg from sdb. My experience installing to GPT is limited though I may be able to fumble my way through . [06:20] grinchier: it didnt' work [06:20] wolft: i think the problem lies in my comptuer not switching output sources, if i am not wrong [06:20] I think a reinstall will be my only option [06:20] Bashing-om: i don't think os-prober checks for other grub files [06:21] EriC^^: termbin.com/wcg6 [06:21] nabn: alsamixer with all the settings will let you mute / unmute / see everything, adjust [06:21] wolft: type sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt [06:21] nabn: try left / right arrows and see what space bar does etc. [06:22] EriC^^: Well, A while back I did go round and round with my sytem booting and all kinds of ATA errors, When I finally gor grub straight on all installs and 30-osprober turned off on all but the primary booting system . All my problems were solved. [06:22] EriC^^: done [06:23] wolft: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done [06:23] EriC^^: sdb is the GPT disk for wolft . [06:25] Okay, I want to undo a recent kernel update. I know how to do it from the CLI but I need to show someone how to do it from the GUI. Where would I start? [06:25] wolft: (sudo blkid && cat /etc/fstab) | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:26] wolft: (sudo blkid && cat /mnt/etc/fstab) | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:26] EriC^^: /wraj is the one with ./mnt [06:27] OpenSorce: software center maybe? [06:27] EriC^^: /h0cd is the one without /mnt [06:27] EriC^^, no kidding... not really apparent how to unintall from there though. [06:27] *uninstall [06:27] EriC^^: the . was a typo above sorry [06:28] OpenSorce: never tried that myself [06:28] EriC^^, thanks anyway :-) [06:28] OpenSorce: if the old kernel is still there, why don't you just tell them how to delete it from the terminal [06:29] EriC^^, 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. [06:31] OpenSorce: there's a history tab in software center, if they type linux-image in the search it should show the last kernel it installed [06:31] unfortunately you can't click on it to uninstall [06:32] EriC^^, Yep. Shows it just fine. Just no way to remove it :-) [06:32] wolft: ok, did you type the for i command? [06:33] EriC^^: yes [06:33] hello i am trying to configure reshft [06:33] wolft: type cat /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:33] What I'd like to do is remove it and then try the update again to see if it would work this time.

[06:47] jak2000: i copy iphone pics/videos usually by mounting it in nautilus then go to DCIM [06:47] EriC^^: first tried just "Ubuntu" and then *all* the entries looked like sdb, then I tried an entry that specified sda1 and that one shows the sda1 UUID under if... else... search stuff but still shows the sdb UUID for the linux line [06:48] wolft: EriC^^ I too am burned out this session. I must cease and desist 'til the morrow, [06:48] wolft: are you able to remove sdb? [06:49] Bashing-om: thanks same here, but thanks again [06:50] EriC^^: I don't know, it's not easy, it's built into the computer in some inaccessible place [06:51] wolft: :) . IF EriC^^ does not see a solution, then it is a real bugger bear. We will fight it some more tomorrow. [06:51] wolft: ok boot the entry [06:51] EriC^^: at this point, if I'd known it would be this much hassle, I would have probably wiped things and installed fresh [06:51] EriC^^: I booted to the one that specified sda1 [06:52] ok, type mount | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:52] EriC^^: and I went even further in pushing down sdb in theBIOS [06:52] ok [06:52] EriC^^: kmbq [06:53] cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 [06:53] and cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 === badon_ is now known as badon [06:54] EriC^^: 1a77 === NickG365_ is now known as NickG365 [06:54] EriC^^, does Ubuntu's package manager get along well with Synaptic?

Just looking for a GUI method of uninstalling a recent kernal update [06:57] wolft: i think grub isn't installed properly on sda and it's skipping it and booting sdb [06:59] EriC^^: so what should I do?

The servers will either be database-backend (so OS on bare metal), or frontend (virtual machines of some sort). I have quite a bit of experience in Linux via the Raspberry Pi and Raspian/Debian.

[12:17] I have tried with notepad++ [12:18] zack_s_, here is the thing. Your server might not have ftp installed. Yet, you can connect via ssh to it (sftp)... which it already does have installed, and it's actually secure (unlike ftp). [12:18] This is really simple, not complicated. The thing is, Notepad++ is trying to connect using ftp [12:18] You have to tell it to use ssh [12:19] I am going to check if notepadd++ has ssh [12:19] knob: it has sftp [12:19] try you connection with that [12:19] and FTPES and FTPS as connection typ [12:19] Yet, where do you see it? I just opened Notepadd++... and can't see it [12:20] try sftp fist...

[12:20] knob: this works [12:20] thx [12:21] awesome [12:22] zack_s_, for the future... I know ftp is super easy... yet try and use sftp or others. ftp is very insecure.

[12:27] MonkeyDust, nothing as far as I'm aware, I'd just like to do it this way and learn a little about ubuntu in the process. [12:28] I haven't really made sense of why certain programmes and utilities are placed where they are, within ubuntu's FS. [12:28] for instance, some apps are in /usr/bin, some in /bin/, some in my local/bin ... it is quite bewildering and annoys me and I want to understand.

[14:40] Quick question - how different are debian and Ubuntu in regards to how they handle disk issues [14:41] eletious: should be very similar [14:41] eletious: whats your specific question? you have a bad drive? [14:41] eletious start from the beginning, what brings you here === chreuben_ is now known as chreuben [14:41] 127.0.0.1 localhost , 127.0.1.1 oldhost name , should i appoint the new hostname on the same 127.0.1.1 or something like 127.0.1.2 ? [14:42] Well, i have a debian laptop with a bad drive it looks like [14:43] jpentland: maybe a question for ##hardware? [14:43] but the debian channel is always empty [14:43] lotuspsychje, well isnt there a command that just enables it again in software? If I reboot the machine then it works agian [14:43] eletious: you can install ubuntu and check your logs for hd errors [14:44] Well... this is where it gets funky [14:44] I can't install Ubuntu without using a different machine to do it as the BIOS is locked down on this one [14:45] it's a cashed out device at the repair center I work at, but as we had already ordered parts we decided to repair and use it [14:45] eletious: reset bios password with a bootcd like hirens boot cd [14:45] I can't use hirens because I can't boot from the ODD [14:45] unless using hiren's on a hard drive is a thing? [14:46] eletious: can you boot usb sticks? [14:46] nope, tried it [14:46] the original owner was a school [14:46] so they tightened it as much as possible [14:46] yorwos: I'd use the new hostname. [14:46] eletious: load an ubuntu .iso into your grub and install from there? [14:47] I feel dumb for asking but how do I do that? [14:47] eletious: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [14:47] if 15.04 is stable, will 14.04 be eventually updated to more closely match the software in 15.04? [14:47] how does it work? [14:48] for LTS... like, will 14.04 still be running the same gnome in year 2019? [14:48] stiv2k: You will only get the hardware enablement stack from 15.04, so new kernel and graphics drivers [14:48] stiv2k: no - it doesn't work like that. [14:48] stiv2k: if you want more modern GNOME on LTS, you'll have to wait for 16.04 [14:49] lotuspsychje: Oh! So I would boot, and then at the bootloader menu would specify where the ISO is to boot from? [14:49] mcphail: ah [14:49] ok i think this is fixed doing a restart if i dont come back its fixed thanx [14:49] eletious find out if debian has the 'grml' package ... install it, copy a .iso of ubuntu to the grml folder, update grub and reboot ... then select the iso [14:49] MonkeyDust: +1 [14:49] mcphail: im just trying to devise a plan for my system... to keep it semi-latest but also stable, and avoid doing fresh installation very often [14:50] mcphail: maybe do a fresh LTS install every 2 years [14:50] MonkeyDust: I would, but the HDD is borked [14:50] my /var/ is kill [14:50] stiv2k: eventuall snappy will come along and solve these problems [14:50] mcphail: what is snappy?

Is there a place to turn this off and any other things like it? A list of common packages that make outside connections without being explicitly configured to do so? [14:53] mcphail: have people discussed at all what to do with the gigs of legacy information on google that is getting in the way... for example if i google how to do some setting in gnome or unity, the majority of results are from years past [14:53] and no longer relevant [14:53] because of how much things change in a year [14:53] stiv2k: you can restrict your search to an arbitrary date range. [14:53] stiv2k: For now if you don't want to reinstall, why not use 14.04 LTS? [14:54] amari: i do use 14.04 LTS [14:54] in fact i am using 14.04.2 [14:54] stiv2k: I have search keywords set up in firefox to say, for example, search past two years / one year / 3 months / etc. [14:54] skomorokh: that is a good way to deal with it for now [14:55] skomorokh: i imagine that new users may not realize this though and often times they might try to follow instructions in some "guide" for old ubuntu, thinking they are being self-reliant, when in reality they could be breaking their system badly [14:55] stiv2k: So you can keep it until the next LTS [14:55] amari: yes that is my plan [14:55] stiv2k: Do you use Unity? [14:55] amari: no, on a desktop system, i prefer gnome, unity is too bare === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya [14:57] mcphail: amari: i'm wondering if LTS was even a good idea... maybe i shold have just went with 15.04 [14:57] MonkeyDust: this is some crazy wizard stuff [14:57] better go home and grab my robes because I do NOT want to reinstall [14:57] stiv2k: LTS was a good idea. 15.04 has been giving me a fair bit of grief. [14:57] skomorokh: oh? [14:57] hello, how can i change network connection ttl in ubuntu ? [14:58] skomorokh: like what? [14:58] stiv2k: First systemd release; that touches everything [14:58] why is it marked "stable" then :P [14:58] skomorokh: doesnt 14.04 use systemd [14:58] stiv2k: nope, or at least not by default [14:58] stiv2k: No, it uses upstart [14:58] I'm having some trouble setting up a port forwarding ssh tunnel.. I want anything that goes to port 8000 on an Ubuntu machine to forward to a local VM [14:59] The command I'm using is ssh -R 8000:localhost:80 ubuntu@ [14:59] stiv2k: Really you won't notice many changes with 15.04 for daily use. And if you want to keep your system as stable as possible, better to stay with the LTS [14:59] It should be rock-solid right now... [14:59] Anyone see anything wrong with that?

I want to be a rocket scientist too! [15:03] eletious: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:03] :） [15:03] Hi all. I've set up an ubuntu server in a VM to act as a remote build host for my c++ projects. Everything works fine so far but now i wanted to shrink the ubuntu server by removing unneccesary packages. Is there a way i can uninstall everything except for a few packages? [15:04] i need make, gdb and an ssh server. that's all [15:04] Anticom: wouldn't you need a bit more than that? [15:04] eletious: what else? [15:04] !mini | Anticom [15:05] Anticom: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:05] thought gcc was a dependency of either make or gdb [15:05] like the OS [15:05] Anticom, when I isntall unbuntu server, I only select openssh and samba. its pretty minimal already [15:05] sure [15:05] If you just want those packages, why not try a different distro? There are several super-minimal distros out there [15:05] compdoc: hm good point. I installed the vm few month ago for something different and must have checked a few more options [15:05] time for a fresh installation [15:06] thank's! [15:06] good idea [15:06] Is there a way to get rid of these dash plugins yet? === Guest96835 is now known as helloworld123456 === anubis is now known as Guest50830 [15:10] "And thus, the newb learned an important lesson: Always check drives before you make them critical" [15:11] Is there any rason why the IP's in my host file would just randomly change on their own? The first 5 entries all have the same IP now and they did not before. It is the weirdest thing. === wdkevinone is now known as cryptbin [15:11] cryptbin: um... are you using a dynamic IP? [15:11] No [15:11] This server has a static IP defined. It's just an internal dev server. [15:11] are the hosts that are referred to in your host file using dynamic IPs? [15:13] i only ask because >5 entries [15:14] amari: OerHeks: i only referenced that thread because i'm having the same exact issue as that user, and although I haven't applied the workaround that he mentions, I'm wondering if it will work??? since you claim there is no systemd [15:14] amari: OerHeks: it is the *only* solution i have found in all of google that claims to resolve the issue [15:15] HI installed Cinnamon DE with mdm on top of my earlier my Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome3. . I want to uninstall it and keep my original Gnome3.14 Kindly help [15:15] um.... [15:15] Isn't the uninstall apt-remove? [15:16] or am I stupid, and should shut my mouth [15:16] eletious: apt-get remove [15:16] stiv2k: gotcha [15:16] inerkick: apt-get remove [15:17] im using a program called nethogs that is showing me how much bandwidth my server is pushing in and out, http://i.imgur.com/8g30goi.png but what i circled there, it doesnt show the IP of who im sending to. is there any other program you guys know of or a way where i can find out what im ip sending that speed of traffic to ? guess nethogs is not the right program [15:17] um.... [15:18] anyone here [15:18] hi [15:18] hi [15:18] hi [15:18] hi [15:18] howdy 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 stuck [15:19] I 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] "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 :/ [15:20] EvilTerran: I don't think anyone is going to support that here. A recipe for a broken system, I'm afraid [15:20] apt-get remove ? [15:20] I 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. [15:21] mcphail, ah. hm. I knew it was a bit risky, didn't realise it was quite that bad :/ [15:21] I 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. [15:22] amari: OerHeks: skomorokh: why is that file present if systemd doesnt exist on 14.04 ? [15:23] inerkick: yeah, memory serving you can specify packages to remove [15:23] inerkick: if you want to be super-safe about it, press ctrl+alt+f1 before you do it [15:25] EvilTerran: 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 otherwise [15:27] mcphail, 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 rethink [15:27] eletious, 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. [15:29] I 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 above === bertazol1 is now known as bertazoli [15:31] and then it goes on to talk about building packages-from-the-future from source, and I get *way* out of my depth. especially when it comes to trying to express things in Puppet. :/ [15:33] if I swap out controller cards, with mdadm still assemble a RAID if I keep the same disks? [15:34] EvilTerran: snappy-core is at a fairly early stage, but would that suit the needs of your vms better? [15:37] Has anyone ever seen where starting a service only puts a listener on tcp6, not tcp4? [15:38] mcphail, 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. :| [15:41] EvilTerran: Unfortunately, I don't think there is a good solution for you :( [15:43] mcphail, :( [15:44] ... 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. [15:45] it happens to be the sshd, and we have no physical access to the machines, so I can't really take any big risks with it [15:49] i'm trying to get a core dump from a crash; i've set ulimit -c to unlimited and can generate a segfault, but i am not seeing anything in /var/crash which is where, presumably apport is supposed to put it? [15:52] Okay, so reading the grml-rescueboot documentation on my break tells me that I can just put an iso in the /boot/grml folder and then update-grub and it'll add that iso to the list of bootable options? [15:55] but then going to install grml-rescueboot throws an error because in order to use apt-get, i need to be able to use /var/lib/dpkg/lock [15:57] at least asciiquarium still works [15:58] is there a way to repair partitions? [15:59] eletious paste this, then try again sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/apt/lists/lock [15:59] .3 [16:00] is the .3 important or was that a face? xD [16:03] MonkeyDust: specified filename does not exist [16:09] eletious: Curious what the issue is and your end goal, I see only the grml install issue. [16:09] hello [16:10] so at long last i fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally managed to fix my UEFI/BIOS. problem now is only windows boots, i seem to have lost grub. What do? === Guest82290 is now known as mfisch [16:10] mcphail (or anyone else), say... would "newer version of ubuntu with a few older packages" be less likely to collapse the whole infrastructure than "older ubuntu, a few newer packages"? I might be able to identify the old stuff we're depending on, and upgrade everything else instead [16:10] regedit, reinstall grub maybe? [16:11] !grub [16:11] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:11] OerHeks: thank you!

[16:12] br33n: came here because debian is usually quiet [16:12] br33n, are you saying "either way, you're on your own"? [16:12] but i am talking to them now === adellam_ is now known as adellam [16:12] atm we're all trying to figure out why HP hates us [16:12] i need a better macro preprocessor than c99, is there anything installed on most systems? i need to loop through va_args, and be able to define -> and :] [16:13] EvilTerran: We support what is in the repos, unless the only option is outside that in general is all, this is a issue, not contemplation channel is all. [16:14] eletious: Excellent, here we are miffed when this happens, we do not want to be working on an unidentified OS, we exspect you to know the COC. [16:14] I'm trying to execute sudo smbpasswd -a thepickler [16:15] it asks for the password, then tells me it failed to add entry [16:15] is there something i need to configure so that it logs the error? [16:15] currently nothing shows up in the logs, cant figure out why its failing [16:16] does the user I add in smb need to be a real system user? [16:17] br33n: the issue I'm having is not debian specific, I don't believe [16:18] and given how closely related the two are (haven't you guys switched to systemd yet?) I figured I'd ask here for a point of reference [16:18] eletious: Please read all the links in the header, we don't do debian period. [16:18] br33n, 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] eletious: You might try ##linux if you have a freenode account [16:19] EvilTerran: It is only wrong if you can't fix it, in my world view. Just be careful is all. ;) [16:21] EvilTerran: 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. Honestly, this will make you lose your hair more quickly. I tried it and am now completely bald [16:21] that iis funny, need any wax [16:21] Anyone here have an idea as to why my TCP initial window appears to be 65535? I am running Mac OS X, and connecting to a Ubuntu 15.04 server [16:21] * mcphail lets his scalp glint in the sunlight === jsp is now known as jnr [16:24] br33n - heh, quite; mcphail - yeah, I fully appreciate that. I think, in the name of being careful (and keeping my hair), I'm going to need to take a few steps back - see if I can come up with a completely different work-around that doesn't involve upgrading sshd. [16:26] EvilTerran: is there a backport you could use? [16:26] EvilTerran: Support here is just a bit specific is all, I have a few things installed and 3rd party repos but know what I'm doing, and am cloned and backed up. [16:27] Can I upgrade Xubuntu 12.04 to Xubuntu 15.04 without downloading the new version? [16:27] !backports | EvilTerran [16:27] EvilTerran: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [16:27] Elon_MuSk: no, you can't. 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 14.10 -> 15.04 is your upgrade path. Alternatively, clean install. [16:28] Elon_MuSk: Not a good idea, you would upgrade through end of life releases, possible but the time it will take will be days. [16:28] Elon_MuSk backup and fresh install is cleaner, faster, easier [16:28] mcphail, that was the first thing I looked for. sadly not. [16:29] EvilTerran: shame - backports were sometimes the least evil option [16:29] Okay I see, thanks guys === Samul` is now known as Samul|AWAY [16:33] br33n, fair enough, I wasn't aware when I came in the channel that my plans were outside its scope. is there a better channel for this sort of thing? #break-your-ubuntu or something? :P [16:34] EvilTerran: Not sure really, I'm not familiar with your actual issue, it might help to address that, you may not have all the option known. [16:34] option's err plural [16:35] br33n, that's a very good point, I may have an XY problem (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=542341) [16:37] EvilTerran: that is kinda funny here, I've been working on a intercultural communications grad program, so communication gets even tougher cross cultures. [16:38] the original underlying issue is that (for very annoying and long-winded reasons) I need the sftp starting directory to not match the user's home directory in /etc/passwd [16:39] sftp-server has the -d option to do just that, but it was only added in its version 6.2: http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-6.2 [16:39] but (for even more annoying, even more long-winded reasons) I'm stuck on Precise, which only has sshd 5.9: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ssh7 [16:40] er, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ssh [16:41] EvilTerran, why not upgrade? even it is supported till april 2017 [16:42] EvilTerran: With a quick web look it appears what you want is in later releases, you might just need to do a ltl 12.04 to 14.04. as OerHeks has pointed out. [16:42] hey guys , very basic quesiton i want to move all files in a current folder on folder up for example mv * ../ [16:42] hi i have a laptop [16:43] OerHeks / br33n, well... short version: because it's serving several hundred commercial sites, all running on a 10-year-old in-house PHP framework that will never ever play nice with a newer version of PHP [16:43] can i pass it more than one acpi_osi argument? [16:44] EvilTerran, sounds like a security hog to me [16:44] OerHeks, looks super secure to me [16:45] we were already blindly suppressing PHP deprecation warnings when I started working here, so going from 5.3.10 (Precise) to 5.5.9 (Trusty) will probably break everything ever [16:45] EvilTerran, you can't use another ftp program ? [16:47] guys, can I remove then two terminals are open the selection betwenn those two I don't like the way it works [16:47] OerHeks, oh, you know it. proper security consultants would run away screaming if they saw our set-up. I wouldn't have even admitted any of that if I weren't telecommuting, for fear someone would find our servers from my IP and take the whole thing over.

( php5 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5) [17:25] sudormrf: dd [17:25] dd can do a secure wipe? [17:25] EriC^^: really? all this time the Grub loader was saying "Booting in insecure mode..."

[17:27] my backup harddrive just has my home backed up to it nothing else [17:27] Waldeinsamkeit: saucy is eol, [17:27] how to install universal access ? can anyone get its package name ? [17:28] yes [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: just upgrade [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot [17:28] i know! [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: Er sorry not a LTL. [17:28] !eol | Waldeinsamkeit [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [17:28] yes yes i know [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: you can add the Ubuntu ISO to a small partition, then tell Grub to boot it. You can then install from the ISO [17:28] ues [17:28] how do i do that? [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: you can add the Ubuntu ISO to a small partition, then tell Grub to boot it. You can then install from the ISO [17:28] second [17:28] Waldeinsamkeit: you will need to use a storage that will not be touched during install, or the data needed by the installer will vanish [17:29] regedit: did we ever switch the files for efi? [17:29] ahh yes [17:29] i have two harddrives [17:29] Waldeinsamkeit: not got any optical media? [17:29] i recall your nick, but i don't remember what we did [17:29] nope [17:29] EriC^^: which files? [17:29] can i use my second harddrive to boot from [17:29] and install over my main harddrive? [17:29] regedit: /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi etc. [17:29] Waldeinsamkeit: then put the ISO on one drive with a view to install on the other, this will remove the ability of RAID1 if that is what you require [17:29] i need no raid [17:29] i just use it as a backup [17:30] regedit: type ls -l /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi.backup [17:30] also i was repartion my harddrive and my come crashed [17:30] is that file there? [17:30] comp crashed [17:30] Waldeinsamkeit: then great, boot the ISO stored on the 2nd drive and use it to install to the first [17:30] ok [17:30] how do i mount that iso to my second harddrive? [17:30] EriC^^: not there no [17:30] Waldeinsamkeit: obviously grub willneed to exist and be configured to use the ISO [17:30] regedit: oh ok [17:30] EriC^^: the windows installation media had EFI versions of stuff i think [17:30] did you reinstall ubuntu by any chance? [17:31] EriC^^: windows was installed in EFI mode, as was ubuntu, i think [17:31] EriC^^: nope [17:31] actionParsnip, thanks. [17:31] not yet at this point anyway [17:31] so how do i install grub? [17:31] also [17:31] i would like to use my thrid harddrive to boot from [17:31] that way my back up stays safe [17:31] but i was partion it [17:31] Waldeinsamkeit: mention these are externals [17:31] regedit: ok, one last thing type cat /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/20microsoft | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:31] Waldeinsamkeit: you already have grub installed, STOP using enter as punctuation also [17:31] ioria : ubuntu gnome 14.04.1 [17:31] and my comp chrashed half way though so now it wont mount [17:32] no these are all exteernal hard drives [17:32] Waldeinsamkeit: then use the standing data to recreate the backup [17:32] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/7lsk [17:32] mmc sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [17:32] how do i fix my harddrive [17:32] i broke it when partitioning [17:33] ioria : i have done it [17:33] Waldeinsamkeit: When? [17:33] last night [17:33] Waldeinsamkeit: was there data on it? [17:33] regedit: ok, so windows is booting straight away? did ubuntu used to boot with windows installed? [17:33] it crashed half way though the partition [17:33] nothing i needed [17:33] Waldeinsamkeit: then just repartition it [17:33] i just want to wipe it and get it fresh and new [17:33] Waldeinsamkeit: so you jeapordized your backup? [17:33] so i can use it too boot ubontu from [17:33] no my backup is on a different harddrive [17:33] that i don't mess with [17:34] 3 harddrives [17:34] Waldeinsamkeit: then wh cares :) [17:34] Waldeinsamkeit: you could just dd the iso to that drive and boot from it [17:34] ok [17:34] whats the best way to wipe and repartion a harddrive [17:34] so i can use it too boot? [17:34] Waldeinsamkeit: 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 square [17:34] Waldeinsamkeit: well first I would just write the iso there. [17:34] nope [17:34] Waldeinsamkeit: then fix it after installing [17:34] none anywhere === adan0s_ is now known as adan0s [17:34] why? [17:35] EriC^^: right now windows boots right away. used to get ubuntu grub (used to have an entry in the boot menu 'ubuntu') [17:35] i have ubuntu running [17:35] Waldeinsamkeit: That will be easiest for you. [17:35] on my main harddrive [17:35] my harddrive that i need to mount my iso on won't mount [17:35] Waldeinsamkeit: I'm talking about using one of your externals [17:35] i have no externals [17:35] only internals [17:35] EriC^^: i did run Windows repair at some point, which may have overridden the grub loader with a windows one [17:35] Waldeinsamkeit: did you say you had usb hard drives? [17:36] no [17:36] internal sata harddrive [17:36] EriC^^: and/or when bios was flashed the custom boot menu entries were eliminated...or something [17:36] regedit: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:36] reinstalling grub should do the trick [17:36] Waldeinsamkeit: 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] yeah ok i fixxed it [17:37] how do i boot from it now? [17:37] Waldeinsamkeit: copy the iso to it [17:37] Waldeinsamkeit: then configure grub to boot the iso [17:37] ok [17:37] how do i configure grub?

[18:07] Waldeinsamkeit: if they're ntfs then you're not mounting them correctly [18:07] What is best IRC client (GUI based) for Linux? [18:07] I use XChat actually. [18:07] Waldeinsamkeit, take a look at /etc/fstab and put your drives into it [18:07] !best | Fyxi [18:07] there not ntfs [18:07] Fyxi the one you like most, is the best [18:07] there ext4! [18:07] !best [18:07] i use xchat [18:08] Fyxi, xchat is EOL, no longer in development. [18:08] i like it works fine [18:08] till it breaks i use it [18:08] Fyxi: sorry, looks like I forgot the factoid, anyway, "best" is subjective, you got to try what suits to your needs (: [18:08] I used on Windows hexchat, I will move into it, thank's ;) [18:09] I've been trying Komanda, http://komanda.io [18:09] xchat is same as hexchat just about [18:09] Been pretty good [18:10] I have BIG fps drop on Team Fortress 2 (I am comparing to Windows8 performance). What is issue? [18:10] uhh probbly improper drivers [18:10] finilly something i can relate too [18:10] I have AMD and IntelHD graphic card. Default is AMD. [18:10] i have 1500+ hours on tf2 in the past year [18:10] I moved into AMD Catalyst driver (fglrx). [18:11] Fyxi, wine issue perhaps, join #winehq for help.

[18:14] ugo stands for user group others [18:16] whats the best way to change perms of a ext4 hardrive [18:17] told you, chown [18:17] i was googling [18:17] seems like chown is a bad way [18:17] or that line from BaloneySandvich is not bad either [18:17] Waldeinsamkeit: is it a ntfs or ext4? [18:17] EriC^^: back [18:17] Depends what you want, for 1 user, or all ? [18:18] Waldeinsamkeit i said 'sudo chmod ugo+rw /your/drive/Path' [18:18] i want to be the owner of my harddrives [18:18] EriC^^: latest was: grub option for windows boot manager results in error [18:18] instead of root [18:18] 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 chown [18:18] its ext4 [18:18] regedit: wb [18:19] Waldeinsamkeit: ok, if you want to change all files to be owned by you, type sudo chown -R : /path/to/mountpoint [18:19] EriC^^: 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 works [18:19] it'll change the mountpoint as well though [18:20] hey im having trouble with the resolution of an external monitor inside my ubuntu 14.04 VM (vmware), i used xrandr to create the mode and added it to the output, but i still get 2400x1350 instead of 1920x1080 [18:20] regedit: type cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:21] that you soo much [18:21] sudo chown -R sysop: /media/sysop/Steam [18:21] that worked perfectly [18:21] Waldeinsamkeit, have fun!

[18:45] quants: it seems itunes only works with older versions, and some people use a vm to use itunes on ubuntu [18:45] *older versions if using wine [18:46] vm + usb passthrough is possibly easiest bet [18:49] salut !

[19:06] !gnome | ubuntu_user [19:06] ubuntu_user: GNOME was the default desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10. To install the GNOME Shell, type [ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ] in a !terminal. For the GNOME-based !flavor of Ubuntu, see !ubuntu-gnome [19:07] the Ubuntu-gnome channel is worthless, I was told by 2 people "we do not answer questions here, seek another channel" [19:07] the open source community used to be filled with nice people back when no one cared about Linux commercially [19:07] !ubuntu-gnome | ubuntu_user [19:07] ubuntu_user: Ubuntu GNOME is a supported !flavor of Ubuntu that uses !GNOME as the default desktop environment instead of Unity.

[19:10] Whence I installed Ubuntu (regular) and then installed "metacity" I got some very nice styled menus (the Application menu in particularity), whence I installed GNOME Ubuntu, metacity was unavailable to be installed and the menues are very different [19:11] What I wanted was to start with GNOME Ubuntu (since all the unity crap wouldn't be there) and then get the menus to look like the metacity I have with regular ubuntu [19:11] same login style screen and the application menu [19:12] ubuntu_user: So you're not starting with GNOME because you want GNOME, but just because you don't want Unity? [19:13] not at all [19:13] I am starting with GNOME because I want GNOME and the metacity stuff [19:13] did I do something wrong? [19:13] "with regular ubuntu" ?? that would be Unity, gnome-session-fallback is the package to get metacity AFAIK. [19:13] the regular GNOME is 3, metacity is supposed to be like GNOME 2? [19:13] ubuntu_user: the gnime-shell is mutter [19:13] ubuntu_user: Metacity is GNOME2.

[19:22] there internal! [19:22] one 3.5 inch [19:22] and two 2.5 inch harddrives [19:24] whats the file path of your main hd on ubuntu [19:24] / [19:24] hurm [19:25] i tried that it did not work [19:25] sudo chown -R sysop: /boot [19:25] you tried what, and what didnt work? [19:25] soo i want to be able to access all the files in my folder [19:25] Then why do you run the command above? [19:25] sudo chown -R sysop: / [19:25] don't [19:25] becuase i do not have perms for that hd [19:25] Waldeinsamkeit: NO. [19:25] That command messes up the permissions in /boot [19:25] Waldeinsamkeit: Do not do that. [19:25] opps [19:25] i did it [19:26] i tired this too sudo chown -R sysop: / [19:26] why [19:26] idk [19:26] don't randomly use sudo [19:26] erm [19:26] don't recursively change things you don't know what they will do [19:26] well im trying to put a iso [19:26] Waldeinsamkeit: That messes up all permissions. You can reinstall your box now. [19:26] you're doing it wrong and now you need to reinstall [19:26] thats what im trying to do [19:26] reinstall... [19:27] Waldeinsamkeit: whatever you tried had nothing to do with a reinstall [19:27] but to do that i need to put a iso in /boot/grml [19:27] and to do that i need perms... [19:27] nope [19:27] Waldeinsamkeit: No, you dont need to mess up permissions anywhere to do so. [19:27] well [19:27] opps [19:28] Waldeinsamkeit: You dont even need to adjust permissions at all for doing it. [19:28] well right now im back up my home folder [19:28] cuase im pretty shure im goign to mess something up [19:28] when i do this [19:28] you already did [19:28] Waldeinsamkeit: Right now, you ned to reinstall your system. [19:28] Waldeinsamkeit: If you don't completely understand a command, especially involving sudo, don't run it without checking with someone who does understand.

[19:30] that's unfortunate [19:31] the installation itself is really easy [19:31] not when you don't have a flash drive its not [19:31] almost "next, next, finish" [19:31] so go to the dollar store and get one [19:31] hmm, true, no DVD burner as well? [19:31] yep [19:31] i have 5 bucks [19:31] anyone fasting here? [19:31] you can get 5 flash drives then [19:32] umm [19:32] 5 bucks should be enough for a decent flash drive [19:32] Waldeinsamkeit: Have you looked for any local linux or ubuntu groups? [19:32] what do you mean? [19:32] i live in oshkosh wisconsin... [19:32] my buddy normaly helps me [19:32] but hes at work [19:33] what's the main obstacle in this? [19:33] no flash drive? [19:33] yes [19:33] no cdrom either? [19:33] yes [19:33] and no cds [19:34] you need a medium to put the installer iso on [19:34] I see plenty of USB drives on Amazon for less than $5. You can get them at stores as well. [19:34] SD card maybe? [19:34] im in oshkosh [19:34] uhh [19:34] my cf card is in my backpack [19:34] which i can not find [19:34] hmm, CF card, not sure if your machine can boot from that [19:34] lots of dollar stores have flash drives, like 1GB or 4GB [19:34] better get some USB flashdrive [19:34] i have three harddrives though [19:34] hae you got a smart phone?

[19:35] my desktop... [19:36] how do I update in Ubuntu? I'm new here. I just installed Ubuntu in an hour. [19:36] I actually think you could technically could use an internal desktop drive as boot media with dd but you would lose all data on the disk so isn't worth it and if you choose wrong one you could lose everything [19:37] cusl: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade === ziprar is now known as zipace [19:39] is wubi on the ISO, if so mount the image and copy it to your desktop, double click en wala [19:39] !wubi | Roxuut [19:39] Roxuut: Wubi was a way to install Ubuntu from within Windows, but it is no longer supported in recent versions of Ubuntu and was never well maintained even for Ubuntu 12.04. Do not use Wubi. See !install for other options for installing Ubuntu. [19:39] I just used wubi for installing this Ubuntu just now [19:40] so what now for me? [19:40] ut is still on the 14.04 lts version of the iso [19:40] how do I check what version I'm having [19:40] cusl: cat /etc/issue [19:40] cusl: Boot into Windows and uninstall Wubi. Then re-install Ubuntu in a normal dual boot configuration. [19:40] cusl: uninstall it and install ubuntu properly, make recovery disks if you haven't [19:40] cusl: You can move the wubi to a partition there is a wiki, however like all things be backed up. [19:41] hello. this question might have already been posted and responded to. hence I apologise for any repitition [19:41] I just deleted my entire GNOME Ubuntu installation (it is being tested under VMware) [19:41] the cloud images for Trusty listed at https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/ do not appear to be available on AWS [19:41] I am installing 15.04 GNOME Ubuntu [19:42] ubuntu_user: That sounds like the wrong thing to do for you.

[19:42] best drivers for a AMD Radeon HD 8500M [19:42] I didn't realize Mate was GNOME3 [19:43] Jordan? [19:43] ubuntu_user: Mate isnt Gnome3. [19:43] MATE isn't GNOME 3, who told you that? [19:43] Jordan said it was [19:43] ubuntu_user: He didnt. [19:43] I said I wanted GNOME 3 with the Metacity he said use Mate [19:43] sure he did [19:43] !mate | ubuntu_user [19:44] ok [19:44] ubuntu_user: I'm not sure what you mean by "GNOME3" when you very pointedly don't seem to want GNOME Shell, the largest distinguishing change in "GNOME3". Most of the rest of "GNOME3" is apps that can be used in any shell or desktop. [19:44] ubuntu_user: He said "use mate", which isnt "mate is gnome". [19:44] when I try to run GUI app I get this error and it doesn't launch: No protocol specified [19:44] [22732:22732:0622/214251:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(219)] Gtk: cannot open display: :0 [19:45] ice9: is your display maybe :0.0? [19:45] good grief, let me say what I want and then instead of people just blurting things, I can get good opinions that will help me...GNOME2 is over, GNOME3 is current. I want GNOME3, however, the style of "application menu" that I have with Metacity (having installed regular Ubuntu and adding gnome Metacity), is what I want to achieve. Does that make sense? [19:46] SchrodingersScat: no it's :0 also I have changed anything ,it's fresh installation and I'm opening these apps locally [19:46] ubuntu_user: Yes, it does make sense. But that "style" is gone in Gnome3. [19:46] I want to use GNOME Ubuntu because I am completely disinterested in Unity [19:46] GNOME3 gets that style by installing metacity I thought [19:46] is that not true? [19:47] Metacity as I understand is GNOME3 massaged to look like GNOME2, no? [19:47] and Metacity requires GNOME3, right? [19:47] ubuntu_user: the fallback gnome is what you're describing at this moment. [19:47] ok fine, but whence I installed GNOME UBUNTU and did an apt-cache search gnome fallback was gone [19:47] nowhere to be found [19:47] Metacity: is a window manager [19:48] and unable to be installed [19:48] no, Metacity is the Application menu style [19:48] ubuntu_user: No. [19:48] its what gives that menu style [19:48] Metacity is a window manager. [19:48] ubuntu_user: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/change-gnome-3-gnome-shell-or-classic.html [19:48] you're wrong is all [19:48] I will read that [19:48] ok, I keep saying I want GNOME3 with that menu style [19:48] how do I get GNOME3 with that menu style? [19:49] read [19:49] read what? [19:49] I am lost [19:49] the link [19:49] everyone is telling me differenst fuf [19:49] stuff [19:49] I've gotten 9 links since I got here, which link? [19:49] all of them? [19:49] http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/change-gnome-3-gnome-shell-or-classic.html [19:49] ok [19:49] ^ the one you just said you were going to read [19:49] metacity is a theme [19:50] metacity is a window manager someone else said? what is the difference [19:50] between a theme and a window manager? [19:50] incorrect, metacity is the original window manager from GNOME 2 [19:50] and which is metacity [19:50] it's not a theme [19:50] 0h for corn sakes. I need to turn off highlights here. [19:50] Also hi. [19:50] lol [19:50] a theme is just a set of files to customize the looks of the window decorations, while using a window manager [19:50] what is best driver for AMD Radeon HD 8500M? [19:51] or what are best driver's? [19:51] its just a theme in gnome 3 no? i could be wrong [19:51] you're wrong indeed grinchier [19:51] it's a wm [19:51] in gnome 2 it was [19:51] it IS a window manager [19:51] . [19:52] Fyxi: making a second nick is a bad idea, you are really wearing out any chance of help here, bro. [19:52] his is my friend [19:52] not second nick, baka [19:52] OK, so if I understand what that last link is saying, I should install GNOME Ubuntu (GNOME3), and then there is a theme that will make it look like the application menu I get in Metacity, right? [19:52] how i can confirm that it's not my multiaccout? [19:52] yes [19:52] its already included in gnome 3 i believe [19:52] what theme is it I need to use? [19:53] does it have a name? [19:53] i was just talking to him about my performance issues with THAT gpu and he asked this here [19:53] i only repeated [19:53] does theme have a name? [19:53] yeah, this is my problem, but he is trying to help me b4332 [19:53] ubuntu_user: GNOME Classic I believe [19:53] check ip... [19:53] and it comes by default with GNOME ubuntu 15.04? [19:54] ubuntu_user: here is a video lol [19:54] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUn63SvFyZk [19:54] thank you, I'll go watch it [19:55] b4332: sorry for naming your 'baka' (stupid) but i really hate when someone try to say that i cheat and use multiple nick's [19:56] but i understand your though's... but you didn't check ip's [19:56] fuck [19:56] hey now [19:56] i need a flashdrive soo bad [19:56] language, Waldeinsamkeit [19:56] !language | Waldeinsamkeit [19:56] Waldeinsamkeit: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [19:57] no need for that [19:57] ... === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [19:57] Waldeinsamkeit, bestbuy has a flash drive for $4.99: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/emtec-c600-superman-8gb-usb-2-0-flash-drive-black/8851241.p?id=1219398526242&skuId=8851241 [19:57] is too far away [19:57] and they probbly have taxes [19:57] watched the video a few questions: [19:57] my bicycle is in the shop [19:57] Not an ubuntu issue, is it? [19:57] all i have is a unicycle [19:57] 1) Not sure what language the guy is speaking but, I'd sure love to find an English version of the video. [19:57] sheesh [19:57] 2) I saw he was using Unity to do that [19:58] and i already rode like 10 miles on it today [19:58] can that work with GNOME Ubuntu? [19:58] so... [19:58] or does Unity need to be there for that to work? [19:58] my brother has a 4 gb flashdrive [19:58] he is using gnome, but made it look like unity, i agree confusing lol [19:58] I don't want UNITY [19:58] but hes holding out on me [19:58] its for gnome3 dude [19:58] the video is showing unity [19:58] I know what unity looks like [19:58] so any advice on mounting my iso to a harddrive and booting it would be amazing [19:58] yes, i understand, [19:58] i have a extra emty harddrive in my computer... [19:58] sounds like the circumstances are not working with you on this one, Waldeinsamkeit [19:59] ubuntu_user: he is using a unity theme lol [19:59] yes. [19:59] come on [19:59] But if I install GNOME Ubuntu 15.04, it does not have Unity [19:59] its gootta be possible [19:59] net install [19:59] so that video is not applicable? [19:59] ubuntu_user: he went to the website gnome-look.org [19:59] grub boot from a harddrive [19:59] therers gotta be a way [19:59] yes, I saw that [19:59] but he is doing it in a Unity environment [19:59] I am starting with GNOME Ubuntu [20:00] read the comments dude [20:00] where unity should be missing [20:00] what comments? [20:00] nevermind, good luck lol [20:00] I am quite confused [20:01] all I want is to install GNOME Ubuntu, NO UNITY, and have the Metacity look [20:01] so i gave you two suggestions [20:01] ok [20:01] one is to go to gnome-look.org and download the theme [20:01] ubuntu_user, then install MATE [20:01] MATE is GNOME3 with the Metacity look? [20:01] MATE gives you a classic metacity-like look by default [20:01] I thought someone said it was not [20:01] can someone remote install a new os? [20:01] it's not GNOME3, but that's not relevant [20:02] ubuntu_user , go for mate. [20:02] i use it [20:03] i use MATE as well [20:03] you can go to gnome-look.org and download w/e theme you want, there is a whole list of metacity ones. [20:03] ubuntu_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] wouldnt use anything else [20:03] ubuntu_user, this is what MATE looks like: https://ubuntu-mate.org/gallery/Screenshots/ubuntu-mate-1504-raspberry-pi-2-screenshot.png [20:03] it's probably what you want [20:03] or be crazy and diff here http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=101 [20:05] Waldeinsamkeit: Are you using, or have you seen : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot ? === total1ty is now known as Guest35166 [20:06] yes i have [20:07] but i cannot copy my iso to the folder to boot it [20:07] nvm [20:07] illl try that again [20:07] Waldeinsamkeit: Did you try using that "sudo mv" command given on that page? [20:15] i"m running ubuntu 14.04, for some reason the network icon in the top corner disappeared [20:16] and, I don't seem to have networkmanager installed at all [20:16] which is what I thought provided that [20:16] there's no nm-applet I can restart or anything [20:17] Hail_Spacecake: What is the output of "nm-applet" at a terminal. Please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com if the output is more than one line. [20:17] guys is anyone in here good with photorec? or know of a chan that I can ask questions in? I just want to add file types to the search [20:18] Jordan_U: well before I explicitly installed networkmanager nm-applet didn't exist at all [20:19] now when I run it I get "Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager" [20:19] and it shuts down [20:19] I'm pretty sure I didn't uninstall networkmanager since the last time I used ubuntu [20:19] would 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 VMDK [20:21] regedit: why not use the GUI? [20:22] 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] rblst: the GUI doesn't make a VMDK for the primary hard drive... or does it? [20:24] regedit: you can choose your disk format when creating your machine [20:24] rblst: 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 check [20:24] Hail_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. [20:25] regedit: i have a ubuntu VM in virtualbox under win 8.1, just followed the steps in the GUI to make it [20:25] no special commands needed [20:25] hm interesting ok [20:25] SCHAAP137: do you have (U)EFI enabled? [20:25] GPT and stuff [20:26] i have an UEFI BIOS yes, with secure boot disabled [20:26] GPT is a partitioning scheme [20:26] Jordan_U: that didn't install anything [20:26] like MBR, but different [20:26] i don't see how it's relevant to a virtual machine [20:26] Jordan_U: does the 'networking' service start networkmanager? [20:27] or is there a separate service for that? [20:27] SCHAAP137: 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 mode [20:27] SCHAAP137: 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... [20:28] ah, you want to use a physical disk [20:28] haven't tried that [20:28] yup... [20:29] i was already thinking, why does this matter when using a disk file, but now i see your point [20:29] regedit: 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] i have ubuntu running just as a regular VM in vbox [20:31] Jordan_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 too [20:32] Jordan_U: i think the bios was badly corrupted, and the win8 version couldnt work (at first), but the win7 (legacy bios?) managed to update [20:32] and after sanity was restored that way, it was even able to update the more advanced win8 update [20:32] now i have all sorts of advanced UEFI options in bios :) === pigeon is now known as qweas [20:36] Jordan_U: might you know a thing about VirtualBox physical disk VMDK and the -mbr option on a UEFI system? [20:37] regedit: i just wonder how you reference a partition in windows if it's not a drive [20:37] rblst: the VBoxManage command line seems to accept a parameter for that -partitions [20:38] so photorec claims to restore .avi files (or RIFF) by default but I see no selection in the menu to choose it. Am I crazy? [20:38] regedit: i see, thanks [20:38] https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#idp97335088 [20:38] and onward [20:38] hey all, I'm looking into building a new desktop soon and I'm wondering what your thoughts are on new hardware, a few caveats are; 1) ABSOLUTLY must be Intel based. 2) must work perfectly with ONLY Ubuntu installed. I Don't want to have to call a tech support idiot and have them tell me "Install windows". [20:39] gartral: for #2, don't call tech support [20:39] el oh el [20:39] :) [20:39] regedit: lol, you know what I mean [20:40] As I recall we have to update the security of our Ubuntu once in a while but since I didnt use Ubuntu for already years. Where has the option go? Anymore security updates? [20:40] qweas: what verison are you using? [20:40] gartral: https://system76.com/ http://zareason.com/shop/home.php [20:41] latest on Ubuntu website [20:42] qweas: Terminal way : ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' . [20:44] Jordan_U: neither of those companies tell me what motherboards they use. [20:44] gartral: If you're building your own computer, I think you're pretty much on your own as far as hardware support goes. If the hardware doesn't work, return it. I may be (and hope) I'm wrong about that though. === Mitchell^ is now known as Mitchell92 [20:46] Jordan_U: ^ no ideas i guess? [20:47] Jordan_U: well let's get the painfully obvious out of the way, most boards with USB3.0 hub ports aren't going to work right, so that slashes out most ASRock boards... I certainly don't want to support Foxconn.. that there eliminates MSI and Intel boards.. and I kinda would like built-in wifi... [20:48] !hcl | gartral [20:48] gartral: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [20:49] Ello [20:49] Is there any API that allows me to find out which of *all* the Ubuntu uni+multiverse packages correspond to desktop applications (as opposed to system utilities / dev tools / CLI apps / the Unity shell itself)? [20:51] sidi: synaptic ? ' apt show synaptic ' . [20:51] Jordan_U: that list lacks LGA1150 boards entirely, also a good portion of what it DOES have dosn't display the info I'm interested in.. [20:52] sidi: I would use synaptic for that [20:52] sidi: apt-file show package | grep '\.desktop$' # Tells you if the package contains a .desktop file, which I think is a pretty reliable indicator of being a "desktop application" (GUI app with an entry in most Desktop's launchers). [20:52] #join freenode [20:52] well that completely failed didn't it === shaytan_ is now known as shaytan [20:53] Jordan_U: that isn't always true as that would say htop is a desktop applicatoin and same with midnight commander but those are exceptions === sysop is now known as Guest77137 [20:55] ianorlin: /usr/share/applications/mc.desktop /usr/share/applications/htop.desktop :) [20:56] Jordan_U: yes but those both are terminal apps with a desktop file [21:04] Can anyone tell me what is the fendora irc chat room [21:05] btravis786: #fedora, and you can search for channels with alis, see /msg alis help list. /msg alis list *searchterm* looks for channel names containing searchterm. /msg alis list * -topic *searchterm* looks for channel topics containing searchterm. [21:06] your using fedora instead of ubuntu!?!? yikes [21:07] *you're, and hardly the channel for the debate [21:08] !discuss [21:08] Want to talk about Ubuntu but don't have a support question. Join #ubuntu-discuss, for other non-support discussion not Ubuntu related you can also join #ubuntu-offtopic. Thank you. === Samul` is now known as Samul|AWAY [21:11] Jordan_U, thanks, you're awesome [21:11] Bashing-om, ianorlin thanks too, will check out synaptic [21:11] sidi: You're welcome. [21:12] hello [21:12] !13.10 [21:12] Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) was the 19th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on July 17th, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/saucy [21:13] sidi: 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. [21:15] Jordan_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.. [21:16] Thanks for the warning though [21:20] sidi: What is your end goal? The contents of the app-install-data package may interest you as well. [21:23] Jordan_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 apps [21:23] As part of a research project on app sandboxing... [21:26] happy fasting [21:28] Halo ! [21:39] Any ideas what's wrong here? I've got cifs-utils installed, but no mount.cifs command. Running it suggest I install cifs-utils. Ubuntu 15.04 [21:44] even weirder. dpkg -L cifs-utils shows /sbin/mount.cifs but the file does not exist [21:45] blackflow: Have you seen this wiki? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently outside any knowledge here however. [21:45] okay, forced reinstall of cifs-utils fixed it, but now I'm dying to know what went wrong [21:45] i installed lamp server on my laptop [21:46] ubuntu202: I've seen it, but that's irrelevant to my problem. thanks though. [21:46] and i create a free domain how to bind my web server to my domain ? [21:46] mmc: your domain should point at your web server's IP address. you should configure apache to "listen" for that domain (called vhost or virtualhost).

Not "cat /etc/issue". [23:07] bug22: IF you are at the desktop, see if key combo ctl+alt+t will get a terminal interface . [23:07] xar: So did you modify the output in any way? [23:07] oh [23:08] the output of that line was http://pastebin.com/syWiF9L3 [23:08] Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l [23:09] tried to get the term as per your instructions but nothing comes up [23:09] xar: So why did you modify it? [23:09] haven't noticed it, sorry! [23:09] xar: So whats the output of "apt-cache policy vim"? [23:10] bug22: OK, reboot, do you normally get grub's boot menu ? or do we need to invoke getting the boot menu ? [23:10] bekks, http://pastebin.com/qswNyrqr [23:11] xar: so pastebin "sudo apt-get update" please. [23:11] when I boot, I can see the 14.04 with dots [23:12] I guess we need to invoke getting the boot menu [23:12] bug22: Reboot, and as soon as your bios screen clears, depress and hold the right shift key -> grub boot menu ? else is this a UEFI system ? [23:13] ok , let me do that now [23:14] awk or sed ? [23:15] Depends. === nicekiwi__ is now known as nicekiwi_coffebr [23:15] ok, what is happening now is when I reboot all i get is a black screen, holding down the right shift key does nothing [23:16] bekks, still processing... === max_ is now known as Guest48491 === Vovvy is now known as DedVov [23:18] ok, I was somehow able to get into the terminal now, what commands do you want me to do ? [23:18] bekks, http://pastebin.com/nkTGtUcX [23:20] bug22: Install the tool ' sudo apt-get install pastebinit ' . [23:20] ok [23:22] Does anyone have advice for getting data off a usb harddrive that refuses to mount (its ntfs formatted)? [23:22] zorg24: Take a look at dmesg to see why it refuses. [23:22] ok, I think I was able to get pastebinit installed [23:22] zorg24: Properly UNmount it in a Windows machine ? === mat__ is now known as Guest48114 [23:23] bug22: Let's next make sure the system is up to date - for general purposes : ' sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' . [23:24] ok, let me do that [23:25] ok, I did that, it says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [23:26] Bashing-om, I have no idea what I'm looking for, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11759683/ [23:28] bug22: Outstanding, now let's see what the hardware is so I can try and match a driver ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 | pastebinit ' the result will be a URL. Pass that URL back to the channel . [23:28] ok [23:30] ok, here's the url, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11759689/ [23:32] Bashing-om, I see the line device descriptor read/64, error -71 in red but I have no clue how to interpret that [23:36] hi guys [23:36] any chinese guy here?

All Windows ! see: http://www.geforce.com/drivers . Input the info and see a perplexing situation. I am considering how to proceed. === nicekiwi_coffebr is now known as nicekiwi [23:44] it is not a card, it is the onboard VGA support [23:46] that's probably why Windows works on this machine, was really hoping to get away from Windows if I can [23:46] zorg24: Looks like the system is not happy with that USB device, swap out the USB drive, are the errors still present ? [23:48] bug22: K, let's see what is installed for the Nvidia graphics chips ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | pastebinit ' .
