[00:00] SergioEDuran1: cinnamon is not even built by canonical, nor in every release, you need to research bro. [00:03] SergioEDuran1: I would run a live of a release that has it in the repos, load it and look around. You want a setup supported my someone be sure it is here. [00:06] i just tried tinkering with the boot order, and no luck. [00:07] mtn, is it possible for me to re-install ubuntu without booting from the disk? [00:07] nubuntu: thank you so much [00:07] no prob ;) [00:09] hmm, maybe I can http://askubuntu.com/questions/484434/install-ubuntu-without-cd-and-usb-how [00:11] dj3000, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot or http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html if you have a spare cd kicking around [00:15] it looks like unetbootin is a windows aplication, so I'm screwed there. [00:16] should i enable/disable efi in the bios menu? [00:16] !info unetbootin [00:16] unetbootin (source: unetbootin): installer of Linux/BSD distributions to a partition or USB drive. In component universe, is optional. Version 608-1 (vivid), package size 226 kB, installed size 827 kB [00:17] its not o.o [00:17] its on ubuntu too [00:17] dj3000, unetbootin is available for linux too [00:20] anyone? [00:22] dj3000, not sure if you saw this dj3000, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot or http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanagers.html if you have a spare cd kicking around [00:24] squinty, no i miised that. ths [00:24] thanks [00:25] yw [00:27] dj3000: what are you trying to do? [00:28] histo,reinstall ubuntu without booting from a thumb drive or cd [00:28] dj3000: why? [00:29] pointless task of a users own invention, buy a flash drive. [00:31] daftykins, my flash drives aren' being recognized by bios [00:31] but thanks for your cute comment [00:31] you're making them up wrong by the sounds [00:31] or attempting to use an external USB chipset [00:32] dj3000: Have you tried a different port? and What method idd you use to put the iso on the flash drives? [00:32] test [00:32] i am using the self same usb stick that i used to install this copy of ubuntu [00:32] histo, yes i've tried 3 diferent ports now. [00:32] and used ubuntu's "create bootble drive" application [00:33] dj3000: does it work on another pc? [00:33] histo, i havent (nor cant) try [00:33] dj3000: so your boot menu doens't show the usb as an option at all or it doesn't boot from it? [00:34] what system type is this? brand? [00:34] not sure you guys saw this poat, should i enable/disable efi in the bios menu? [00:34] histo, by "boot menu" do you mean grub? [00:35] BIOS boot device menu. [00:35] dj3000: no I meant your bios boot menu [00:35] dj3000: typically you press F12 or F10 while booting to display the boot menu and then you select your usb drive [00:36] fwiw some hp's also use Esc [00:36] there are lots of combos, hence me asking what TYPE of system and brand :) [00:37] yes [00:37] i am using eh... a bios called "award" [00:37] no. [00:37] is this a laptop or desktop? [00:38] and I've bootd into the boot menu, and sleected all types of usb options and put them ahead of the hard drive [00:38] desktop. made it my self [00:38] so what brand of motherboard? [00:38] eh...i'll have to check my amazon purchase history [00:39] right [00:39] and did you install the current Ubuntu via legacy (CSM) or EFI? [00:39] um..? not sure. from a pen drive. [00:40] !efi [00:40] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:40] here's my mobo (BTW It sux) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009FC3YJ8? [00:41] dj3000: so you've been plugging your flash drive directly into motherboard ports on the rear panel IO, yes? [00:41] i'm gonna try adding the grub entry directly [00:41] yes [00:41] not into the screen, keyboard - or any other intermediary device [00:41] hola [00:41] right [00:41] chck for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi [00:41] *check [00:42] hola [00:42] brb [00:42] mmk. [00:43] daftykins: it's F12 if he comes back [00:43] that is not the issue [00:44] for that mobo and he needs legacy usb and usb storage enabled in bios by pressing Del key [00:44] i disagree [00:44] ok [00:48] zykotick9: Are you watching the #? [00:48] Hi, somebody can help me.. [00:48] xenom0rph: sure if you ask your question [00:49] I want to install ubunto in my laptop [00:50] Which version do u recommend me, im a begginer in linux. [00:50] 14.04 [00:50] lu/xu/u depends on the target PC [00:51] I have a processor a6-5200 [00:51] From amd [00:52] xenom0rph: how old is the laptop? [00:53] Not much histo, is a amd 2.00, 8gb ram ... [00:53] <_schlerp> cpu is from mid 2013 [00:53] <_schlerp> so no more than 2 years old [00:53] xenom0rph: you can run ubuntu desktop on that. [00:53] Isnot no more than 2 years...then can install this version? [00:53] xenom0rph: download 14.04 and give her a go. [00:53] xenom0rph, be sure to assign at least 512megs ram to the video, or more [00:53] hi guys [00:54] Ok, can be installed in a portable harddisk? === jacob is now known as Guest61610 [00:54] i just installed ubuntu latest version [00:54] xenom0rph: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [00:54] xenom0rph: yes you an install from usb [00:54] !usb | xenom0rph [00:54] xenom0rph: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:54] Is difficult to do?...sorry for many cuestions but im new ... [00:54] <_schlerp> from or onto xenomorph? [00:54] xenom0rph: no just follow the instructions from ubottu it will tell you how to install from usb [00:54] i have windows on RAID 0 dedicated. Ubuntu is on a seperate drive, but gets stuck on the ata1 ata2 raid drives and never goes to desktop [00:55] i have to use recovery mode everytime, then from there i say continue and it works. [00:55] Guest61610: gets stuck where? any outp-ut? [00:55] ya [00:55] let me grep it [00:55] Im going to see the wiki ubuntu...thanks !! [00:56] sudo dmesg | grep ata [00:56] sounds like you lack mdadm [00:56] <_schlerp> scotty^ only eog crashes with that massive image the rest of my system remains fine! [00:56] stuff like this ata1: COMRESET failed (errno=-16) [00:57] so even running update-grub under sudo, it creates the grub.cfg just fine, but the menu on boot still is the old one [00:57] I suspect it is updating grub in the wrong place [00:57] so im trying to put into grub something to ignore the raid drives alltogether so it wont hang up. [00:57] <_schlerp> spidey do you have a seperate boot partition? [00:57] nope [00:58] <_schlerp> spidey, are you launching grub off the same harddrive your system is installed on? [00:58] the /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks good, uuids match [00:58] <_schlerp> guest61610 do you mention that drive in your fstab? [00:58] _schlerp: yes, usually while in the /boot directory [00:59] spidey: More than one hard drive; grub installed to each, and not changing the boot priority in bios ? maybe ? [00:59] spidey: You have a dula or more boot? [00:59] dual* [00:59] <_schlerp> yeah try booting from the same drive your / is on [00:59] no what u mean by fstab [00:59] i guess my question is how to ignore the raid array im not using. [00:59] <_schlerp> fstab is a file that tells your pc what and how to mount partitions at boot [00:59] ok [01:00] <_schlerp> its located at /etc/fstab [01:00] the new grub.cfg has two different kernels, the old one and a new one [01:00] so what vi /etc/fstab? [01:00] ah -- https://gist.github.com/tbbooher/262ee17721727015ea98 <-- can't install npm on ubuntu [01:00] <_schlerp> spidey do you have multiple drives in your machine? [01:00] <_schlerp> guest just a cat shoudl be sufficient [01:00] yes, and the boot drive is setup as a software raid [01:00] lol same issue sorta? [01:00] mirror [01:01] <_schlerp> so you have four drives? [01:01] <_schlerp> raid for windows and raid for ubuntu? [01:02] <_schlerp> bonhoeffer try sudo apt-get install nodejs npm and tell us what the output is === Guest61610 is now known as hogslammer [01:03] test [01:03] hi this is me with the raid 0 ignore me please guy [01:03] i mean i did a cat /etc/fstab [01:04] <_schlerp> what did it say? and whats your error message at boot precisely? [01:06] first it says ACPI PCC sucks or somehting like that. icant get the info , but afterwards is the complaints on ata1 and 2 not responding, which are the raid drives i dont use at all in linux. [01:06] is there still such think as pastebin anymore? [01:06] daftykins: dead disks? [01:06] paste.ubuntu.com [01:06] daftykins: you love ata errors! :-p [01:06] no i think linux hates my controller or raid drives. i got latest firmware too. [01:07] diddledan: ;) not this time [01:07] is there a way in grub, without rebooting to see what it will load? [01:07] already mentioned a lack of mdadm being installed [01:07] :-) [01:07] what i cant figure out is why grub, advanced ubuntu, recovery, then click continue on in works fine. still errors but im in now. [01:08] <_schlerp> daftykins its a windows raid that he doesnt even wqnt to mount thats giving him grief [01:08] exactly [01:08] _schlerp: yes. i know. [01:08] i dont care if its mounted so if i specify it in grub then maybie it wont hang up on the testing of it. [01:08] <_schlerp> and his ubuntu is on an mdadm array too which means he would have mdadm installed (i think...) [01:08] and what does mdadm do, put components in initramfs [01:09] well there are two people with two different setups so i'm not referring to the one with both RAID'd [01:09] it's complaining about ata - windows-raid isn't at that layer [01:09] windows-raid is above ata [01:09] <_schlerp> daftykins sorry man, im getting confused i think! [01:09] would be nice if we were given a proper log. [01:09] spidey: Not 'in' grub but ya can examin the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see what is set to boot . [01:10] diddledan: windows or like, intel MSM? [01:10] Any of you have problem with getting on Chrome browser and is on the facebook, while at the same time playing an embedded youtube to full screen. (It didn't show but transparented to Facebook's page) [01:10] Bashing-om: that's the thing, my grub.cfg looks good, but that isn't the one that shows on boot [01:11] daftykins: afaik all the moboraids are effectively softraid so unless it's a server unit with onboard raid from someone like adaptec or he's got a dedicated raid card then it'll be softraid or winraid [01:11] spidey: That suggest to me to change the boot order . [01:11] yeah fakeRAID, but they could cause detection funkiness [01:11] anyway, it was a guess and was ignored so it hardly hurt. [01:12] :-p [01:12] Bashing-om: you mean in bios? [01:12] can i still pastebin my log somewhere [01:12] how to paste log for u [01:12] <_schlerp> bpaste [01:12] !paste [01:12] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:13] spidey: Yeah in bios . What might be happening here is that grub has chainloaded from one grub onto the other . [01:14] Hi, I am unable to get Ubuntu 14.04 to Display SPD Data, I have dual boot with windows and windows can read the SPD Data (after installing a driver). When I try to display SPD Data in memtest I get “SMbus controller not known” I have a GA-970-D3p motherboard. === Guest32773 is now known as shawniverson [01:14] Bashing-om: anyway to check if there are multiple installs and get it down to just one? [01:15] ok hold on [01:15] horsemeds: serial presence detect on your RAM? you set it once then forget it, why does it matter? [01:16] spidey: What returns from terminal command ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ? [01:16] daftykins not sure what you mean by "serial presence detect on your RAM?" [01:16] ? [01:16] ok guys check it out : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776425/ [01:16] horsemeds: well which SPD are you talking about... [01:16] squinty, can you resend me the link for installing ubuntu from iso? [01:17] Bashing-om: it is quite a long output [01:18] !paste | spidey [01:18] spidey: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:18] I was checking RAM, I was suspicious that the RAM i bought may have been fake, but the test itself showed no errors [01:18] daftykins [01:18] so now that i know how to paste logs , anything you need to help me ignore the raid drives from lagging my boot time cause i dont use them at all unless i need windows booted up. [01:18] horsemeds: right, so SPD is serial presence detect - or the table of info on the modules which states what timings, voltages and speeds that RAM supports [01:19] horsemeds: so why do you think it's relevant to read the SPD contents from *both* OSs? [01:19] i'm stuck again guys. [01:19] how can i add a grub entry directly from an iso? [01:19] daftykins yeah i solved the issue as i managed to get it to work on windows but i am gradually trying to stop using windowns is all [01:20] why is it relevant to read SPD from *any* OS? [01:20] horsemeds: right but like i say, memory timings, speeds and voltages advised from the SPD tables are set in the BIOS - there is no point being able to read them from an OS as long as it's stable. [01:20] l-anime.net [01:20] you're essentially wasting your own time [01:20] leonic: no thanks [01:21] omg, a random anime site!

[02:36] np [02:36] i'll have him try as another user. it seems to be ok now, but we don't know what broke. [02:36] mmm, might want to backup ASAP just in case [02:38] daftykins, wow ok you think it's his hard drive having problems? [02:39] chull: it's hard to say from that output, seagate have an annoying habit of incrementing 'error' fields when everything is normal [02:39] it's just to be on the safe side [02:39] _schlerp: http://askubuntu.com/questions/640362/unable-to-boot-after-removing-old-kernels another post, however most of this information has changed as i have tried to reinstalled/installed different ones/or unistalled the kernels mentioned in the post [02:39] daftykins, ah i see. [02:40] <_schlerp> musclez ok, so lets start with the booting error, you cant boot without a live cd hey? [02:40] that is correct [02:40] daftykins, he says he understands, thank you :) [02:41] <_schlerp> ok, so what happens when you try boot/ [02:41] deepnding on whihc kernel i use, it will give me differnt responses, but most of the time it freezes [02:42] <_schlerp> right, after you removed your old kernels did you run sudo update-grub? [02:42] <_schlerp> that shoudl clean up your grub a bit to only what it can find in boot [02:42] probably not [02:43] however, the grub seems to find the right kernels after i run 'apt-get purge' [02:43] <_schlerp> can you pastebin an "ls /boot" for me? [02:43] yes, 1min [02:46] http://pastebin.com/XDXQE9Vq === lolmac is now known as Guest57398 [02:47] <_schlerp> musclez damn pastebin is blocked by my work proxy, can you use paste.ubuntu.com instaead [02:47] yes you will have to give me soem time i have not made an account there yet [02:48] Looking for help with wifi on Ubuntu 14. wireless_info script output at http://mackinney.net/wifi_info.txt [02:48] <_schlerp> musclez you dont need one :) [02:48] <_schlerp> http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [02:49] http:..paste.ubuntu.com/11776733 [02:49] I have moded source code for a program and would like to distribute it to many computers [02:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776733 sorry [02:49] musclez: sysop@1404mini:~$ uname -r >> 3.13.0-55-generic .

[03:25] <_schlerp> by cat /dev/mapper i meant can you check if ubuntu--vg-root is there [03:25] <_schlerp> *cat should be ls, sorry my brains failing i need a siesta [03:25] yeah its there i have to mount it to run root [03:26] <_schlerp> hmmm the live usb would have the lvm2 package were as its possible that you removed it by accident from your os on disk [03:27] <_schlerp> so really we need to fix the apt problem haha so i guess we should look into that now! [03:27] should i nano etc/fstab? [03:28] Hello room [03:28] Hey [03:28] bhi [03:29] <_schlerp> just check that the uuid of root matches the uuid of the correct drive in blkid [03:31] im not sure if it is or isnt [03:31] do i jsut post that in ubuntu paste? === Adran is now known as ChairmanZero === ChairmanZero is now known as Adran [03:37] <_schlerp> musclez yeah if you could, the output of blkid and cat /etc/fstab [03:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776838/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776837/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/11776851/ [03:39] i think they are the same... the last is the ouput of the lvm2 reconfigure [03:40] <_schlerp> is your harddisk encrypted? === a__ is now known as tsoutseki [03:42] yeah [03:45] <_schlerp> musclez http://askubuntu.com/questions/398406/encrypted-13-10-will-not-reliably-boot [03:45] <_schlerp> does that sound liek your situation?

[03:52] sambagirl: #ubuntu-mate [03:53] secondly when you use tasksel and install different packages like say video production or audio studio does that completely remove your default configuation or build? [03:53] thanks lotuspsychje [03:53] how many of you use chrome? [03:53] vs firefox? [03:53] i use both [03:53] Trinity: ask your real question please [03:53] I had issues with my firefox w/ speed and I switched to chomium now. [03:53] Trinity, I use Chromium.... Chrome is too bloated for me [03:53] not sure if others are affected by the same 100% cpu bug [03:54] Trinity: ubuntu version? [03:54] yes [03:54] Trinity, I had same issue on Linux Mint 13 with Chrome [03:54] sporadic 100% cpu use on one core? [03:54] Trinity: wich ubuntu version please? [03:54] Trinity, yep, exactly. Switched to Chromium and it all went away [03:55] Trinity, it has something to do with cache cleanup going haywire in Chrome [03:55] Trinity, iirc [03:55] xubuntu but ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS [03:55] is seveas still about? [03:55] k0d3g3ar, my issue was with firefox. i switched to chomium and it was fixed [03:55] specifically happening on amazon sites [03:55] Trinity, you might be able to stop it by going into settings, Advanced and setting hardware acceleration off [03:56] Trinity: try cleaning your system with bleachbit and cleanout browser cache + install preload [03:56] Trinity, oh, I've had no issue with FF other than its a slow dog to use [03:56] !info preload | Trinity [03:56] Trinity: preload (source: preload): adaptive readahead daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-2 (vivid), package size 34 kB, installed size 135 kB [03:57] i take it this is just pure ubuntu and no window management associated with the channel? i'm just curious cause i have been using ubuntu since whoarty or whatever it was called. [03:57] cause i have some compiz issues [03:57] lotuspsychje, hmm... maybe it is the cache. personally i think it's just that google's v8 blows firefox's js engine away [03:57] ill give it a try though [03:57] hi - im a live session user. I have this Dell Latitude E6400 but the wireless isn't working. The wireless adapter is Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless. I found this but how I can do that in a live session to see if it works since it asks me to reboot -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/215194/wifi-is-not-working-on-my-dell-e6400 [03:57] Trinity: starting firefox from terminal might get you some errors too [03:58] !broadcom | ub-laptop [03:58] ub-laptop: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:58] will chromium sync with all your chromebook apps like chrome does across platforms? [03:59] sambagirl: chromium is the right version for ubuntu, instead of chrome [03:59] lotuspsychje, is there a way to see if it will work while in a live session? I haven't installed ubuntu yet. I guess it has to be something that doesn't make you reboot or else some way to put the right files into the unetbootin [03:59] ub-laptop, yes. you can dpgk -i the required .debs in a live session and wifi should pop-up [03:59] at least that's the case for the "no internet access" option [03:59] ub-laptop: i would suggest installing ubuntu 14.04.2 with ethernet cable on + enable updates during setup + 3rd party software [04:00] sambagirl, yes, it does. You can sign into Google and it works much the same as regular chrome [04:00] cfhowlett, oh i thought it would require a reboot and i assumed anything i install in a live session is gone after reboot [04:00] ub-laptop, everything WILL be gone after a reboot [04:00] lotuspsychje, i need to see if i can get wireless working *before* installing it. This is a gift for someone else. [04:00] lotuspsychje, i'm a bit confused. i dont think clearing browser cache will do that much of a difference. preload after reading about it sounds like something to speed up the linux system. but doing a hard test between chromium and firefox. chromium doesnt show the same 100% cpu issue [04:01] Trinity: firefox should run fine on trusty..you need to find the bottleneck [04:01] cfhowlett, im already connected to the internet on it with my LAN do i need to do dpkg -i or could I apt-get install it? [04:02] Trinity: investigate syslog,dmesg,preload install, browser cache, doublecheck grafix drivers [04:02] ah, I see what you're getting at. okay [04:03] ub-laptop, if you have lan access, first try "additional drivers". if that fails, then try the "no internet access" options described in the broadcom wiki.

[04:24] yes [04:24] im reading the page you linked but the most recent one it talks about is ubuntu 12.04 but i have trusty. But im hoping maybe it is still works.

I never modprobed. dpkg -i the 2 files and wifi popped up. of course, I'm on bcm 4312 so perhaps it's different.

[04:48] i got it working but it is really confusing. [04:48] what does rfkill list all [04:48] do? [04:48] SayWeCanFly: make a partition [04:48] what type? [04:49] SayWeCanFly: if you select your sdcard, you should be able to format it [04:49] okay so to ntfs? [04:49] by doing 'rfkill list all' i could see a few devices for both soft and hard and it showed them out of sync. I then turned off the hard block and turned disabled networking, then turned on the hard block and turned on the networking and then enabled wireless was an option. [04:50] SayWeCanFly: sure for test [04:50] it worked [04:50] i used fat32 also and it worked [04:50] SayWeCanFly: ok after that plugout plugin your card, and see if it jumps on now [04:51] yup [04:51] thanks man === scx_ is now known as scx [05:03] ub-laptop: rfkill list shows the the state of devices that are blocked and unblocked devices [05:03] ub-laptop: you can rfkill unblock all to unblock any that are blocked [05:04] ub-laptop: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill/ [05:05] exit [05:14] hi [05:18] Where can I get some help with a JSON php files?

[09:06] i sort of prefer ubuntu better then windows [09:08] what do you think [09:08] should i install the bootloader on the same partition that i am installing ubuntu on? [09:09] or should i just select the external hard drive and continue [09:09] histo : thanks alot, seperator page started printing, just trying to add username in it reading link you gave. Awesome work by you. :D You saved me [09:10] Hey folks [09:10] hey [09:11] michael_p: this channel is for ubuntu related support questions. You can discuss other ubuntu related topics in #ubuntu-offtopic [09:11] vamsiampolu: boot-loader should be on the physical disk that the PC usually starts with [09:11] i am installing on the external hard drive,how can i ensure that i do not overwrite the existing bootloader?? [09:11] vamsiampolu: if you're installing ubuntu on the external, install the bootloader on the external [09:12] vamsiampolu: the external hard drive has an existing boot loader? [09:12] vamsiampolu: There is a choice at the end of the installation process that lets you select the device where the boot-loader should be installed [09:12] ok,the external does not have a bootloader [09:12] it is just data [09:13] but it has multiple partitions,should it be the same partition... [09:13] where i install ubuntu [09:13] vamsiampolu: If the boot-loader is installed on the external drive then when the PC starts you'll need to use its boot-menu option to select the external device for booting [09:13] vamsiampolu: The boot-loader goes on the physical disk device not a partition. [09:14] @TJ got it [09:14] vamsiampolu: That's for BIOS based systems of course; for UEFI based systems then the boot-loader will go in the EFI System Partition - usually the 1st FAT32 partition [09:14] i have bios...i checked [09:16] how large should the swap partition be,do i need a swap partition?? [09:16] !swap | vamsiampolu [09:16] vamsiampolu: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:16] vamsiampolu: before you get to far do you intend to use this external drive with windows also? [09:16] yes,i have 2 ntfs partitions on the drive [09:17] vamsiampolu: To boot Windows from that drive, or just to store Windows data? [09:17] i intend to use it for storage from windows [09:18] I'm gonna cum. [09:18] Oh, wrong channel. [09:18] i dont need anymore windows,one is good enough [09:18] vamsiampolu: So the Linux and Windows boot-loaders won't argue over which one gets precedence then. That's good. [09:20] TJ-: the issue is windows won't see his partition that's after the linux one [09:20] vamsiampolu: you may want to put the ntfs partition first on the disk instead of ubuntu [09:21] histo: the ntfs partitions are sda1 and sda2 while the Ubuntu partition is sda3,swap is sda4 [09:22] vamsiampolu: cool. windows will only see sda1 so you know [09:24] tj: removed and resized the partition,lost 1 MB :( [09:25] I have got a 3tb usb hdd, syslog says very big device and gparted says unallocated. any ideas? [09:28] Kartagis: what are you trying to do? [09:28] EriC^^: access my hdd [09:28] is it a new hdd? [09:28] type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:29] EriC^^: no, it's 2-3 yrs old [09:29] what's termbin.com ? [09:30] it's a pastebin [09:31] http://termbin.com/351l [09:32] EriC^^: ^ [09:34] Good evenin/morning folks! [09:34] brb [09:34] hi guys [09:35] why I am able to remove a file in my home dir , whereas this file is not mine ? [09:35] that's happen only with files in my home [09:35] Xat`: because removing a file needs no more permission than write access to the containing folder. Ownership and permissions of the file are irrelevant. [09:35] I don't have write right on it [09:36] Seveas: I cannot reproduce it in /tmp [09:37] can xbuntu 11:10 still be run with the latest drivers [09:37] Xat`: because /tmp has the sticky bit set, which then makes ownership of the files count. [09:38] you're right [09:38] thank Seveas [09:38] back [09:38] michael_p: no. Ubuntu 11.10 has been unsupported for a while now. [09:38] EriC^^: , so, any ideas? [09:38] dam [09:39] michael_p: upgrade is long overdue. Support for 11.10 ended 2 years and 2 months ago. [09:39] Kartagis: yeah, you're using msdos and it only supports 2TB partitions [09:40] what about 12:04 [09:40] you can either make multiple partitions or convert the partition table to gpt Kartagis [09:40] EriC^^: I have multiple partitions there, 2 and 1 [09:40] !lts | michael_p [09:40] michael_p: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Trusty (Trusty Tahr 14.04) [09:40] i know, but you can't make a partition that's more than 2TB [09:41] Kartagis: [09:41] i like the look of the mac icon [09:42] EriC^^: I used to be able to read it though, before I re-installed OS a few times [09:42] EriC^^: then, my fs was reiserfs [09:43] i'm having trouble creating "kickstart" for my pxe install of ubuntu. anywhere i can read more on this? it seems ubuntu uses preseed instead of kickstart? [09:44] i'm basically stuck at this area : Configure the network : The name servers are used to look up host names on the network [09:45] Kartagis: i'm not following [09:46] Kartagis: you had other partitions? [09:47] Kartagis: try testdisk, and don't write anything until you get the partitions right or it will erase the current ones [09:47] Does anyone have a sample kickstart for ubuntu 14.04 install that i can reference? [09:47] EriC^^: in the past 2 weeks, I tried a few distros and came back to my beloved Ubuntu, which I'd been using since hardy heron. before that, it was working fine and I could access it. but, my fs was reiserfs then and now it's ext4 [09:47] i need help :( i cant shutdown xubunto it takes me to the loggin screen:P [09:47] sudo apt-get install testdisk, then sudo testdisk, and press p to view the files of the partitions it finds [09:47] Kartagis: [09:49] EriC^^: do I want to use 'EFI GPT'? [09:50] no, Intel [09:51] Kartagis: is Intel preselected?

[11:38] it's meant to give me info [11:38] i see [11:38] Hello guys. I have a question. In a full windows environment. we use Domains. Whats the Linux equivalent? Or do a group of Linux machines use Workgroups? [11:39] javierc: i use NIS when i need something simple [11:39] javierc: the equivalent would be ldap+kerberos [11:39] or that if you need real equivalent [11:39] leeyaa: the 90's called and want their software back... [11:40] Seveas: whats that supposed to mean? :D [11:40] its working, yes? :) [11:40] no, it's not. [11:41] I was curious how two linux machines can easily share files with each other. In Windows that seems quiet easy. Installing Samba File server on both clients seems like an insane idea if your trying to share a few files between two workstations. [11:41] javierc: what do you think it is that shares windows file systems ? [11:41] it's the microsoft version of s samba server and client [11:42] javierc: why not just nfs if you need only file sharing [11:42] ikonia: any info how to get rid of mysql 5.5.41 ? :P [11:42] Ok. I'll readup on NFS. [11:42] leeyaa: according to that package - it's not there [11:42] javierc: the windows workstations have something equivalent to the samba server for file sharing. Though if it's pure linux: use nfs, or sshfs for a quick hack. [11:43] ikonia: so what is the correct package ? [11:43] the one you have is currnet for 14.04 [11:43] hm [11:43] pleaseeeeeeeeee help me i need the crack of reason 8 [11:44] dafuq [11:45] elu: http://ubuntustudio.org/ [11:45] someone can help to me please?

[12:25] ye [12:25] .wub 1 [12:25] oops [12:25] family, no offense bro but can we stay on topic? [12:25] yes sorry [12:26] @quantability --> this is a know bug === alia_ is now known as llll [12:27] many times when i try to run apt-get or dpkg commands, i get similar errors ro this: 'dpkg: error parsing file 'var/lib/dpkg/status' near line xxxx..... 'Depends' feild, invlaid package name 'xxxxxxxx':must start with a number/alphanumeric character [12:27] ikonia, you said to debug.. any idea how i shoudl go abotu doing that [12:27] well, you know it's not booting - so your OS isn't the problem [12:28] so it stands to reason the initramfs will be the first place to look [12:29] i doing what i need and again error [12:29] GnuTLS not found, multiplex will have no SSL support [12:29] Family: then i guess i should over git hub and figure the work around myself? [12:29] should run over [12:29] yes sometimes entire words disappear from my typing. === wolf is now known as Guest6062 [12:29] ikonia i dontknwo hwo to attempt/ have no idea what u are talking aobut [12:43] _shlerp was getting very far until he gt disconnected... are you sure there is no other valueable advice you may offer? [12:44] musclez: What exactly is your issue? [12:44] 05:55 < musclez> anyone here an expert on restoring busted kernels/ repairing apt and dpkg? I cannot boot and we didnt get very far yesterday [12:44] Is not helpful. [12:45] i also offered two of my posts on ask ubuntu [12:45] I've told you where to look [12:45] as a starting point [12:46] how do i do a raid on preseed for ubuntu 14.04 [12:46] i would like to raid 1 two hdds [12:46] does anyone know? [12:46] musclez: Have you looked at the second post you made? [12:46] The response was, essentially... give us more information., [12:46] " [12:46] Is that the entire output of the upgrade command? if not, please consider posting more (or all) of it: you can use a hosting service such as pastebin if it is too long to include here directly. It may also be helpful to describe how you removed the old kernel images. " [12:46] yes why agent_white? [12:47] I have a quick question. HOw do I update and upgrade Ubuntu from the terminal? THe command [12:47] ikonia i asked if you could clarify and you didnt respond.. and then i asked again [12:47] jaems924: to a new release, or do you just want to upgrade the packages you have installed? [12:47] musclez: what do you need clarification on ? [12:48] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade @jaems924 [12:48] new release? [12:48] you told me where to look but im not sure what you meant by that or hwo to access it [12:48] jaems924: sudo do-release-upgrade [12:48] musclez: Because we need more information to help. For instance, in the second post, "I was try to free up space on my /boot by removing old Linux images". -- How did you come to this conclusion? How did you remove these Linux images? Why did you do this? What happened? What logs do you have? etc... [12:48] musclez: it's your box so you have acces [12:48] and the paste you showed me - you updated it on an old kernel [12:48] so you know what it is [12:49] musclez: The PC has UEFI firmware. UEFI stores a boot-menu in the motherboard non-volatile RAM. At installation an entry is added to that menu my the installer. At boot-time that menu is displayed. If the boot-menu entries are wiped for any reason (bugs, user action, tools, etc.) then the PC won't 'know' about the installed operating systems. [12:49] ive used synaptic and apt-get purge... all i did was follow ubuntu documentation for freing up space on my /boot drive [12:49] and now i cannot boot [12:49] musclez: We cannot help you without sufficient information on your issue. :( [12:50] musclez: In summary, it looks as if when you purged some of those unwanted kernels it triggered the tool "efibootmgr" to remove the UEFI boot-menu entry too, leaving the system unbootable [12:50] musclez: Are you able to boot the PC using a Live ISO image, on USB or DVD ? [12:51] yes tj [12:51] and i can soemtimes run apt-get and dpkg commands from live usb [12:51] as root [12:51] manytimes, however, it will crash [12:52] musclez: In which case it should be possible to fix using a 'chroot'. Have you been trying to fix it by creating a 'chroot' environment ? [12:52] yes [12:52] i've established root and updated numerous times.. seomtiems wit works... soemtimes it does not [12:52] musclez: So, the crashes happen whilst 'inside' the chroot? [12:52] yes TJ [12:53] not the live usb itself.. just teminal and the ability to run future apt-get or dpkg commands until i reboot the live usb [12:53] musclez: Great... all this information is very helpful to us in narrowing down the precise scenario [12:53] yes, i went over most of this yesterday and was more than willing to explain to people willing to listen [12:53] musclez: Are you following some Wiki or Forum guide on how to create and use the chroot? If so, can you give us the link? === john is now known as Guest34354 [12:54] musclez: It's possible the 'chroot' instructions might not quite be correct, or be incomplete [12:55] http://pastebin.com/XrFDuYFa [12:55] luks encypted [12:56] Hi all! Can ubuntu touch run Android Apps? [12:56] that took me days to figure out how to do.. yes i have been following a multitue of tutorials before i ever attempted to join the channel [12:57] random_user_587: no [12:57] where would I raise a libc / kernel bug? [12:57] !touch [12:57] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [12:57] ok xangua, thanks ;) [12:57] have a nice day ;) [12:57] musclez: OK, that looks good but I'd drop "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/boot" and instead, once in the chroot, do "mount -a" which will correctly mount all the fstab entries [12:58] musclez: Doing that ensures that the EFI system partition is also mounted on /boot/efi/ (inside the chroot) [12:58] ok i will run that.. but woudl that compenstate for the failing apt-get? [12:59] Hey guys, is it possible to change the partition code of a partition with parted? [12:59] becasue even when i have the right paths mounted.. i need to ensure that the stuff will install with [12:59] I want to change an vfat partition's code to 0xef00 (EFI) [12:59] musclez: It depends on which command apt-get was executing ... for 'install' and similar, yes, that could have an impact [12:59] ok.. i will try that now [13:00] rekedmir: "sgdisk --typecode=:" [13:01] TJ-: Does sgdisk come with parted or is it its own package? I would very much prefer not having to install another tool [13:02] rekedmir: it's part of the gdisk package [13:03] TJ-: Hmmmm, don't have it installed. Anyhow, thank you for the suggestion [13:03] rekedmir: parted is very patchy when it comes to editing an existing entry [13:04] rekedmir: gdisk is *the* package for manipulating GPT [13:04] TJ-: Yeah, I understand. [13:10] hello. you would not know by any chance how to create a new user account with an encrypted home folder nowadays, or would you? [13:11] because adduser --encrpyt-home username doesn't do it anymore [13:11] TJ- i was able to use ur command [13:11] mount -a [13:12] g [13:12] musclez: OK .. and now you should see the UEFO boot files in "/boot/efi/", yes? A directory "EFI/" with sub-dirs and files [13:12] where is that? ^ [13:13] nothing in it.. also it doesnt show under /mnt/boot anymore (i'm using desktop) [13:15] sudo ls 'media/ubuntu/###-###-###-###/efi' cannot acces no such file or directory [13:15] mean mode or average [13:16] hello [13:16] * professor_w dá uma voadera em todos da sala [13:17] nooo TJ! === roland is now known as Guest50352 [13:18] hi [13:18] wts up [13:19] TJ- did u see my update? [13:22] musclez: probably not :) [13:26] musclez: nothing in it.. also it doesnt show under /mnt/boot anymore (i'm using desktop) [13:26] (9:15:34 AM) musclez: sudo ls 'media/ubuntu/###-###-###-###/efi' cannot acces no such file or directory [13:29] TJ- [13:32] musclez: So, you're in the chroot, you did "mount -a" ... what does "mount" report, does it show anything mounted at /boot/ and /boot/efi/ ? [13:33] there was no output.. i jsut ran it again and it may have crashed the terminal [13:34] i ran dpkg --configure -a while u were away and i got back "segmentation fault" [13:35] how do I avoid the "Using prebuilt kernel binary instead of source" message? when building Ubuntu for my phone? [13:35] why are you trying to mess with dpkg [13:35] just get your machine booting [13:35] .wg [13:36] ikonia, for the fifth time, apt-get crashes, usualyl with some message relating to dpkg [13:36] for the fith time so what ?? [13:36] fix your box to boot into the machine [13:36] you can't boot at hte moment [13:36] you are wasting your time [13:37] are you tying to be useless? if you cant help just dont bother [13:37] I'm being quite the opposite [13:37] I'm trying to push you to the right area [13:37] frustrating is not the opposite of useless [13:37] so you stop wasting your tim on pointless tasks [13:38] i've been sitting here waiting for a next step.. i litterally have no affinity for having any type of further conversation with you ikonia [13:38] thanks for the effort [13:38] what next step ? [13:38] the next step is you to debug the problem [13:39] not go on a tagent with dpkg [13:40] musclez: You should not be 'waiting for the next step' when it is YOU who messed up. [13:40] Noone is going to feed you unless you're in a high-chair. [13:40] !next [13:41] Damned. They got rid of it! [13:44] so far i've not had any isse with how TJ- or _shlerp decided to help me. In fact, i really apreciated the time they spent even though no improvements have been made.... in any case, i've clearly coem to this channel because ive exhausted all of my other resources... if i wanted to be crapped on by nerds all day id go to larpstock, not come here [13:45] nice attitude, not [13:45] hey man, i can be funny too! <3 [13:46] I'll bite. [13:46] musclez: When you boot, do you boot to grub? [13:46] If so, what does it show in the menu? [13:47] Are you using grub2? After installing a new kernel, did you update grub via `sudo update-grub` ? [13:48] Why you're using a live-disk... I don't even. [13:49] musclez: Have you done a memtest on that system... I suspect you have data corruption, either due to faulty RAM or possibly a failing disk drive or controller... check the /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/kern.log for indications. [13:49] memtest wont run though grub2 [13:50] musclez: Heh? [13:50] musclez: What happens when you just... turn on your computer? === stan_ is now known as Guest13534 === z_ is now known as Guest90797 [13:51] (I'm just tuning in, no idea what exactly your issue is besides being 'unable to boot' after removing kernels... apparently in the wrong fashion) [13:51] the kernel on his box has been screwed up on the initrd [13:51] as he was messsing with it [13:51] it can't see lvm [13:52] that is the problem [13:52] I've told him multiple times [13:52] not sure why this is not clear [13:52] so either lvm/crypt support is missing [13:52] his fstab shows somethings crypted, some not [13:52] but it's not even getting to that point as initrd is goosed [13:53] my external hard drive ubuntu 15.04 install would not boot up on my machine after install,i have connected it to a laptop with intel inside,i have managed to install sudo apt-get install fglrx-updates xvba-va-driver libva-glx1 libva-egl1 vainfo [13:54] now,because i am on an intel pc,i do not have the appropriate hardware to do sudo amdconfig --adapter=all --initial [13:54] how can i ensure that the os boots up correctly and does not get stuck at checking ramdisk??? [13:54] TJ- there is nothing in my /boot/efi folder before i mount it [13:55] just to reiterate... terminal crashed when i tried to mount -a again... which probably was unecssary but i wanted to see if ther was output [13:55] musclez: No, there shouldn't be it is just a mount point. But after "mount -a" the EFI System partition should be mounted there so you should see, at least, "/boot/efi/EFI/" [13:55] TJ: thanks for helping me with the install BTW === Guest13534 is now known as StanAlanMcM [13:58] i just want to let everyonr here know that my R9 Fury X just arrived.... [13:58] Hi all, hoping someone can lend a hand, I have a clean version of Ubuntu 14.04 (running in a docker container) and I'm building the environment I need. I'm trying to install gcc-multilib through apt-get and im getting the error: "gcc-multilib : Depends: gcc-4.8-multilib (>= 4.8.2-5~) but it is not going to be installed". Does anyone know how I can fix it? some googling hasn't been helpful and I need a robust sorta fix cause this environment [13:59] vamsiampolu: If the external drive is booting (that means loading the GRUB boot loader) and then GRUB is loading the operating system, such that the OS has a problem whilst executing the scripts in the initial RAM disk (initrd), then the issue is in the OS configuration rather than the boot loader [14:00] DrunkenDwarf, share the exact command you're running via a pastebin. also, have you run apt-get update? [14:00] -> TJ: ok,it did boot up on an intel machine though [14:01] and i have managed to do this http://pastebin.com/Wx1ap02K [14:01] vamsiampolu: Right, so there's something in the initrd configuration causing a problem. Does the initrd problem eventually lead to it starting a busybox shell where you can investigate? [14:01] pbx: Yes, im running update first and the exact command is "apt-get install -y gcc-multilib" It used to work fine but is now not [14:02] no,it just hangs there on my machine [14:02] DrunkenDwarf, what's different between the time that it worked and now? === huw is now known as Guest23820 [14:02] vamsiampolu: Have you tried starting with the Recovery option? [14:03] no [14:03] pbx no difference I can think of. the containers running off the exact same version of Ubuntu, being build by the exact same script [14:03] TJ i will try that and let you know [14:04] vamsiampolu: That is always the first option to try. Amongst other things it will not hide the terminal so you'll see text from log messages as it progresses which, if they stop, should indicate roughly where the problem is [14:04] ok [14:05] DrunkenDwarf: what does "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" report? [14:06] TJ- gimmie a sec, ill put it in the script and see [14:08] TJ-: Either nothing or the container its building in is silencing the output :/ [14:09] DrunkenDwarf: I assume you want -multilib to build for a different architecture? [14:09] Im running some software that requires the 32bit libs [14:12] DrunkenDwarf: so the installation will need the i386 foreign architecture set. If this worked previously it should already be there, via "dpkg --add-architecture i386" [14:19] this is actually driving me nuts. How does one limit thumbnail generation (ie. turn it off) in Files. In nautilus it was simple but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. [14:20] topherkris2782, Preferences > Preview [14:23] pbx: I can't actually find the "Preferences" dialogue. Where should it be, around stuff like "Show Hidden Files" or "New Tab" "New Window" etc [14:23] i'm using gnome and whatever the latest stable ubuntu release is, if it makes any difference. [14:24] what file manager ? [14:24] ioria: Files [14:24] click on Files and then go to the task bar at the very top of your screen on the left hand side [14:24] you should see various options appear [14:25] Yup, all I've got is "Quit" [14:25] topherkris2782, Edit > Preferences [14:26] pbx: Yah, that's how I always did it in nautilus.

[16:19] vamsiampolu: is your system uefi?

[16:39] TJ-: 4K as in the new tv technology? [16:39] lotuspsychje, geforce gtx 850m on 12.04 [16:39] TJ-, yes!!! [16:39] chronos_: is that an optimus card? [16:39] lotuspsychje: 4096 bytes sectors used for > 2TB 'advanced format' devices [16:40] TJ-: think that will be over my head, maybe the ##hardware guys know stuff for that? [16:41] TJ-, and the first time the screen was black and I had to reboot with a live 12.04 and manually modify xorg.conf into VESA default settings and reboot, it starts and the resolution is waaay too low, software drivers tells me nvidia_346 activated but not in use, and when I checked xorg.conf again, it was generated by nvidia-prime and the one with VESA stuff i made a minute before reboot is gone...... what the h...? [16:41] lotuspsychje, optimus u say... i dunno, it ain't mine [16:42] lotuspsychje: It's a kernel thing, I've been working on patching the loop driver to support changing the sector-size, but that has come to a dead-end right now :) [16:42] TJ-, ok, so what do i do? [16:42] chronos_: "nvidia-prime" means Optimus aka dual-GPU [16:42] how to make files in an external drive that are read only to read and write?

I've been hoping to find another, sneaky, way through some obscure tool that might support it. For example, qemu supports configuring the physical and logical sector-size of its virtual drives, but unfortunately what I'm doing can't make use of a virtual machine [16:45] TJ-, agreed, still any ideas?

Not that I know anything about your server config, but it may also be prudent to run the server as a VM and snapshot the VM. [17:25] JokesOnYou77, that might be so, but it's not really possible right now. I have all the files on a RAID 10 server that's managed by mdadm, with the OS on a seperate harddisk [17:25] Abhijit: whar do you mean about pv? [17:25] I'd just like a solution to restore the server to the present state if the harddrive with Ubuntu dies but the RAID drives continue to function [17:27] Abhijit: nvm; just googled it.

[17:36] I have to turn off wireless connections and then turn on again so it can gets connected to my AP [17:36] If I turn on the AP first and then the laptop, it works fine [17:36] asarch: for example, in the US the limit is channel 11 but in Europe its channel 13, and 14 in Japan. If the regulatory domain has set to US and the AP were broadcasting on channel 12,13,14 then the client won't find the AP [17:37] Abhijit: seems like you need to give buffersize and count in "if" part.

[20:18] tittan: then use a supported Ubuntu flavor like xUbuntu or IUbuntu, not an unsupported release [20:19] !lubuntu | tittan other users report its good on netbooks. [20:19] tittan other users report its good on netbooks.: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [20:19] do you think xUbuntu will do? [20:19] tittan: I don't know your computer specs [20:20] olabaz: And to be honest, I've never disconnected a drive while it was geing written to, so I'm not sure what would happen, but I assume you would loose the file that is being written, and maybe even wreck the filesystem beyond repair. But I would think one could delete the partitions and create new ones. But it could be that the device is just ruined.

[20:45] Hi- I need help with ubuntu software center Kapatcha key- I am trying to sign up but kapatcha key wrong- is there a solution [20:45] hogslammer: In the system BIOS, you should try disabling AHCI mode on the controller those drives are connected to [20:47] raid hates it, ahci hates it, ide mode. will try that. [20:47] i heard ide mode sucks [20:47] raid 0 is what i wanted but had to split drives and deal with half speed, and still dont work [20:47] hogslammer: Apparently, some SATA controllers have problems with the X25-E in AHCI mode and downgrade the link to SATA1 instead of the drives' SATA 2 preference [20:47] same exact issue too [20:48] so if i want performance, i boot into windows 8 after changing back to ahci from ide. [20:48] ok [20:49] hogslammer: Also, more specific to that particular motherboard, in the firmware setup ensure you *disable*, under advanced storage settings, SATA Aggressive link power management [20:50] yes i did that a few years ago and its still disabled. [20:50] hogslammer: OK, that would be the obvious one with that mobo [20:51] i have 2 controllers onboard . one is by asmedia, and the other is intel. [20:51] i wish they never invented UEFI [20:51] but ya its all not in UEFI modes for sure. [20:52] since i broken my raid array anyway i might try to rewire it all to the asmedia controller instead of the intel one. [20:52] CIAOOO [20:53] !list [20:53] marines84: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [20:53] right now im using both. i think i have the spin drive on asmedia as well as the cdrom, but the 2 ssd are on the intel controller. [20:53] 1000 dollars in hard drives to run in ide mode making me look like an idiot. === Mony_ is now known as Mony [21:04] this is super weird. I am *sure* I installed the server ISO (directly from Ubuntu). Upon sucessful boot, it takes me to a GUI login screen, where it states "Failed to start session". Any ideas as to why it doesn't boot to the command line? [21:04] yo tj it worked ide mode went fast, but still had to do it thru recovery mode. [21:05] hogslammer: I'm reading on the Intel forums, from posts by the Intel engineers, there are known problems with those SSDs because they require power at the top end of the range the specification requires but some motherboards only supply the minimum the specification requires. One possible solution is to run independent power to the drives. [21:06] ahh hmm [21:06] hogslammer: It seems mostly it happens with certain combinations of SATA controller chipset and that X25-E [21:06] hogslammer: I don't suppose you have a PCIe SATA II controller adapter you could plug in, to test it on a different controller, do you? [21:07] well you would think that intel would work with intel flawless, thats why igot this mobo. [21:07] i have 2 onboard controllers [21:07] hogslammer: Apparently it depends on the motherboard manufacturer too, as to how they implement the controller/power logic ... I've seen mention of your motherboard and 1 other that are particularly known to exhibit problems [21:08] tertiary: There is no GUI with the server install. [21:08] 1 is by asmedia, and the other is intel. 8 total ports. i have the spindrive and burner on the asmedia, and the 2 ssd on the intel. intel rom acts like it needs control over spin drive which boggles me. [21:08] hogslammer: I also wonder if you'd get better results, purely for testing purposes, if you only have 1 drive connected [21:08] 1 [21:09] hogslammer: boot a Live ISO image on USB and see if the kernel can correctly bring up the SATA 2 link with only 1 SSD connected [21:09] i do know that setting IDE mode off from ahci mode got me in with little delay. ubuntu on normal mode freaked on not finding drives using the ahci driver, but recovery mode sorta didnt care and loaded some generic driver i bet so i booted fast. [21:09] what is the correct location to execture a command after /etc/modules is loaded [21:10] i want to execute: echo "2001 3c25" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id [21:10] zeeshan-laptop: Put it in /etc/rc.local [21:10] fun, ok im on it [21:11] will it haveenough permission to access that?

And I've tried it on different computers and OSs and they all just hang when you try to open the drive [21:35] olabaz: So your stick is dead or dying... probably.

You have a kernel update, it made it that far. [22:18] yes,im trying to get it to use amd fglrx-updates,i installed everything using an intel machine,i tried setting up amdconfig there,would not work [22:19] Bray90820, add a line to sudoers file ? http://askubuntu.com/a/425762 [22:19] vamsiampolu: do you have an amd card ? [22:19] take a look at http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd [22:19] @ikonia yes,ofcourse I do [22:20] vamsiampolu: so why ar eyou not just using the packages ubuntu provides for amd cards ? [22:21] OerHeks: 10 or 2 [22:21] @ikonia because it did not boot with that,i tried [22:21] vamsiampolu: define "would not boot" [22:22] Bray90820, 10 or 2?? just the one with the line: username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /path/to/script [22:22] got stuck at loading ramdisk for over an hour [22:22] so why do you think thats your video card [22:22] OerHeks: Alright Thanks [22:23] because it loaded up perfectly on an intel machine,this is my laptop http://www.flipkart.com/lenovo-essential-g505s-59-379862-laptop-apu-quad-core-a8-8gb-1tb-dos-2-5gb-graph/p/itmdm5ukxfqvwkqf?pid=COMDM5UGX9QFNWAM [22:23] "on an intel machine" [22:24] how are you swapping the cards ? [22:24] How can I add more desktops on Lubuntu? [22:24] There is probably something called Desktop Pager, but I dont know where it is hidden... [22:25] I only have 2 desktops default :( [22:26] no,i took my external hdd and connected it to an Intel laptop,I changed the boot options...i asked it to boot from my hdd,it did without any hiccups [22:27] you're booting from an external hard disk ? [22:27] @ikonia,switching vga is not my cup of tea [22:27] so again - why do you think this is a graphics card problem ? [22:27] the initramdisk has not got "visual" at that point [22:30] so,ikonia what is the solution,i do happen to know that when i ask grub2 to load windows for me,it goes into the same purple state,is that expected?? [22:30] nope [22:30] yes,ikonia i am booting from an external hdd [22:30] where is the boot sector you are using === Guest70451 is now known as Aerides [22:31] okay, found it... forget my query... [22:32] i have no idea,i installed ubuntu on /dev/sda3 which was the external,does the pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/11780753/ have no info on this? [22:33] so it appears grub is on the MBR of the external disk [22:33] or "sda" that has an NFT and ext4 partion on it [22:33] partition [22:34] you also appear to have grub on /dev/sdc [22:34] which looks like some sort of livecd type media [22:35] @ikonia any ideas? [22:35] hey [22:35] can someone do me a favor and tell me what command they use to start chrome from a terminal? [22:36] ciwolsey: Try either google-chrome , google-chrome-stable google-chrome-beta or google-chrome-unstable [22:36] It'll be one of those [22:36] ciwolsey, i hardly do 'chromium-browser & ' [22:36] OerHeks: that didn't seem to work [22:37] i need defintive answer [22:37] ciwolsey: what's the problem you are trying to solve [22:37] im trying to debug a web app on a system where chrome is started with "google-chrome-stable" [22:37] but the distro is not as common as ubuntu and i think its weird naming is causing issues [22:38] so i thought, what is more common than ubuntu, i wonder what the packages there name it... [22:38] what does it matter what it's called in ubuntu ? [22:38] OerHeks: what I am trying to do is run this script on startup without asking for a sudo password [22:38] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=c2yTpcnx [22:38] what matters is your target system [22:38] no [22:38] what matters is what its conventionally called [22:39] heh [22:39] its not a hard question.. if anyone has chrome installed please just could you tell me what command you start it with from terminal?

[22:49] so the first thing I'd like at is the UUID it's referencig on the disk [22:49] does that look right ? [22:49] I suspect moving the disk around to different systems may not help it pick the right partitions, [22:49] you also think that the ramdisk is not decompressing, I'd like more at verifying that [22:51] 7af94613-8523-4723-a4f9-89b727a79c24 is the uuid of the disk used by grub2 [22:52] so when you see it boot it should reference that - does the screen shot it referencing the right UUID [22:54] wait a sec,i have a https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3t1eh064623m42/IMG_20150626_221507386.jpg?dl=0 === Hexagon is now known as Guest90916 === sins-_b is now known as sins- [22:57] ikonia,more explanation?

[23:26] ygrub didnt show kernel recovery ?? [23:26] grub [23:27] is there a way I can save exactly how my ubuntu is and then reformat my computer to that same image? [23:29] Trinity, yes, but why bother ? [23:29] Trinity, boot a live CD and use dd to make a copy and then dd to restore [23:29] idk [23:29] bodhi_zazen, so if anything ever goes terribly wrong with HDDs I can have a backup of the fixes i've made for this particular setup [23:29] i need a live cd it seems [23:29] yeah [23:30] But if you are looking for a backup strategy, that is not a ggo one [23:30] *good [23:30] seems they are your best freind for fixing problems [23:30] can b [23:30] http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd [23:30] Trinity, you can , but that is not IMO the best strategy [23:31] bodhi_zazen, okay so you're suggesting to just back it up w/ all the fixes with dd? [23:31] Just back up /home /root , any system files you edited, and a list of installed packages [23:31] ah i see, so you can continue with ubuntu updates if there are any [23:31] And if you have a server, your server data, such as /var/www/html etc [23:32] Trinity, yes, why back up with dd something you install with apt-get ? [23:33] bodhi_zazen, well what if you forget something hahaha [23:35] Then you will have to remember it later ;) [23:36] backing up the entire / partition makes for very large backups [23:36] idk [23:36] whats the best way to fix i/o errors [23:38] Trinity, look at the options here : http://askubuntu.com/questions/9135/how-to-backup-settings-and-list-of-installed-packages [23:39] i think my harddrive is shot [23:40] very old drive [23:40] easer to just instill ubunto onto a new drive...
