| Elion | hi, i just installed an ubuntu 15.04 with this setup : /boot on local sda drive, / on distant iscsi drive, how can i get this to boot ? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| Bashing-om | musclez: See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+question/125380 . But I do have reservations as we do not have a kernel installed . | 00:01 |
| Elion | (i mean how to make grub mount the iscsi on boot) | 00:02 |
| ikonia | musclez: is there a reason you are ignoring the quick/easy solution here ? | 00:02 |
| beardman | did you have grub installation errors running the setup? | 00:03 |
| Elion | beardman: not at all, and grub is loading fine, but it doesn't load the kernel and give me a prompt with initram | 00:04 |
| allizom | also how is it that I can run startx from a tty and get a full-resolution desktop, only I can't see the top bar and the dash? Is that consistent with a video drivers issue? | 00:05 |
| Elion | beardman: when i boot, i get : gave up waiting for root device | 00:06 |

| west536457640 | evening all, you know when your screen goes dark after a period of inactivity (cos of power management or screensaver or whatever causes it) | 00:45 |
| west536457640 | is there a log file somewhere that records which program/setting/daemon or whatever triggered it | 00:46 |
| west536457640 | because on ubuntu 14.04 running lxde it is ignoring all my attempts to set it up so i think something must be overriding it | 00:47 |
| allizom | Elion: maybe you need the rootdelay option? you can try setting rootdelay=90 in the GRUB menu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Key_Points_About_Terminal_Menu_Editing: | 00:49 |

| redstar | Hello I am having trouble getting Wifi working on Ubuntu 15.04. | 01:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | bash -c irissi | 01:29 |
| redstar | It won't let me connect to any wifi network. :( | 01:29 |
| redstar | And under the network manager it was Wireless Networks: disconnected. | 01:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | redstar, simply stating it is not working does not help use help you - start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 01:30 |
| nomic | redstar you need to right click then edit wireless then put in your wep key | 01:30 |
| nomic | wireless manager | 01:31 |
| Pazooza | WEP? Should be WPA. | 01:31 |
| Guest86360 | Uploading bash output within IRSSI | 01:31 |
| redstar | I have tried that, and when I try "connect" it simply shows it trying to connect and then it stops, never working. | 01:31 |
| Guest86360 | humm not sure to understand hehehe | 01:31 |
| redstar | And it's WPA2. | 01:31 |
| nomic | ok | 01:31 |
| nomic | have you put in your wap key | 01:31 |
| nomic | at any point | 01:32 |
| redstar | Yes. | 01:32 |
| redstar | I have a feeling it's a problem with my drivers. | 01:32 |
| nomic | why r u here lol | 01:32 |
| Pazooza | Try "connect to a hidden netrwork" then select wlan0 if it's already set up. | 01:32 |
| redstar | I am on a wired connection -- there's an unsightly wire running up my stairs and down my hallway. | 01:32 |
| nomic | if the pc sees the wireless it should be connecting -- if it sees all your local links | 01:32 |
| redstar | It doesn't list the available wifi networks or anything, I just tried "connect to a hidden network". | 01:33 |
| nomic | so you don' tsee any network ids in the list | 01:33 |
| redstar | Correct. | 01:33 |
| nomic | so your wireless card disn't connecting | 01:33 |
| nomic | your pc wireless isn;t working at all | 01:33 |
| redstar | It seems that way. | 01:34 |
| nomic | you have incompatible pc wireless with your pc .. is it a laptop or a pc | 01:34 |
| redstar | PC. | 01:34 |
| redstar | 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0034] (rev 01) | 01:35 |
| nomic | you maybe do not have wireless hardware at all (possibility) - I have (for instance) on pcs a wireless usb key | 01:35 |
| nomic | pcs are not supplied with wireless | 01:35 |
| nomic | laptops are | 01:35 |
| redstar | My motherboard has wifi on the chipset. | 01:35 |
| Pazooza | If you have any wireless security cameras in the area turn them off, they interfere with wifi. | 01:35 |
| redstar | Wifi works fine from my laptop and my mobile phone. | 01:36 |

| ging | does anyone know anything about old kernal images not being picked up by apt auto remove on 12.04 ? | 01:51 |
| leo34 | hello is there a way | 01:52 |
| Bashing-om | ging: 'autoreove' apt was rewritten after the release of 12.04 . So in 12.04 that ability of autoremove does not exist . | 01:53 |
| leo34 | to tell testdisk where to start the search for a partition | 01:53 |
| ging | ah | 01:53 |
| ging | that would explain it | 01:53 |
| ging | the amount of guides which were meant to by for 12.04 which have simply said do apt get auto remove has been quite a pain then | 01:55 |
| ging | i have been searching and searching for broken dependancies which never existed | 01:56 |
| Bashing-om | ging: Yeah, "autoremove" exist in 12.04, but the ability to delete old kernels is not supported (or at least the last I was aware, maybe with HWE it is ?) . | 01:57 |
| Bashing-om | ging: 'sudo apt-get -f install ' will list (and try and fix) any dependency issues . Also 'sudo fpkg -C ' for an audit of the package management system . | 01:59 |
| ging | there were no issues | 02:00 |
| ging | i just thought maybe there were packages which depended on kernals they didn't actually need to | 02:00 |
| pitiye | allizom: Hello | 02:01 |
| ging | which would stop autoremove being able to remove them | 02:01 |
| ging | if i have a full boot partion of kernels, all newer than the current one in use, would it be ok to remove all except the current and the 2 latest ones? | 02:04 |
| ging | i don't want to reboot it till i've fixed the full boot partion | 02:04 |

| hypernova | hey guys how do you fix packet loss?> | 02:10 |
| ging | Bashing-om: but how do i know which ones are really needed? | 02:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | hypernova, depends on the cause, fix your network | 02:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | If it is outside your network, call your ISP | 02:20 |
| ging | or is the no real chance any specific ones are needed | 02:20 |
| hypernova | k | 02:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | ging, you only really need 1 kernel, the one you are currently running | 02:20 |
| Bashing-om | ging: 'uname -r ' tells you the current booting kernel. That should be the latest one, and also keep the one under it as a backup, all others can be removed . | 02:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | I like to keep one old kernel "just in case" | 02:21 |
| ging | i don't want to remove the wrong one and it eat half my packages | 02:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | ging, so use the -s flag | 02:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo apt-get -s remove foo | 02:21 |
| Bashing-om | ging: ^ +1 .. the -s is "simulate" - safety net . will tell you what it is going to do but does not do it . | 02:23 |
| ging | bodhi_zazen: the problem is i can't use apt untill i have removed a few, i need to delete some manually as apt is failing to do anything due to a full boot partition and a partly installed kernel | 02:23 |
| ging | will not let me add or remove | 02:23 |
| ging | or do anything infact | 02:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | dpkg -r kernel | 02:24 |
| Bashing-om | ging: In that case try 'dpkg' it works at a lower level and you might have enough overhead room for 'dpkg' to work . | 02:24 |

| jmadero | thanks :) | 03:24 |
| Hobbet1 | swearing in spanish seems rather rude | 03:24 |
| jmadero | the other stuff was quite a bit more offensive than his passive aggressive swearing at me | 03:25 |

| jmadero | thanks kloeri for dealing with him | 03:25 |
| mariorz | hi. I need some help upgrading an10.04 lts box. do-release-upgrade is unable to calculate the upgrade. | 03:26 |
| jmadero | mariorz: wow from 10.04....I'd highly suggest a fresh install | 03:26 |
| jmadero | that's 2 major releases . . . pretty likely things will go wrong | 03:27 |
| mariorz | grepping for Broken on apt.log returns "Broken libdb5.1:i386 PreDepends on multiarch-support [ i386 ] < none -> 2.15-0ubuntu10.12 > ( libs )" | 03:27 |
| jmadero | 10.04 has been EOL for a long time | 03:27 |
| mariorz | no | 03:27 |
| mariorz | it's 10.04 lts | 03:27 |
| mariorz | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 03:27 |
| Remoboth_ | WHy does irc.ubuntu.com keep redirecting me to Freenode? | 03:27 |
| mariorz | it has not reached EOL yet | 03:28 |
| jmadero | mariorz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 03:28 |
| jmadero | looks like it has to me | 03:28 |
| mariorz | LTS | 03:28 |
| jmadero | yes I know | 03:28 |
| jmadero | 10.04 IS LTS | 03:28 |
| jmadero | there is no "non LTS 10.04) | 03:28 |
| mariorz | fine a couple of months EOL | 03:28 |
| jmadero | Desktop EOL was May 9, 2013, Server was April 30, 2015 | 03:28 |
| mariorz | you're not really being helpful | 03:28 |
| Remoboth_ | Is there a good free app to adjust screen brightness? | 03:28 |
| threesixes | 064e:d101 stream must be started first ala google O_Andrew | 03:29 |
| mariorz | nd of course there was 10.04 non lts | 03:29 |
| kloeri | Remoboth_: irc.ubuntu.com is an alias for chat.freenode.net | 03:29 |
| Remoboth_ | kloeri- Oh. | 03:30 |
| Remoboth_ | WEll. | 03:30 |
| Remoboth_ | Damn. | 03:30 |
| Remoboth_ | Brb. | 03:30 |
| mariorz | sigh | 03:31 |
| Remoboth | O.k. | 03:31 |
| Remoboth | So does anyone know of a good brightness app? | 03:31 |
| jmadero | mariorz: google search came up with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127727/broken-dependencies-due-to-libjackd | 03:32 |
| jmadero | no clue if that'll help | 03:32 |
| tr3y | Hey guys I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on a Lenovo G580 laptop. I'm having a weird WiFi issue. It usually works fine but when I close the lid and leave it over night, I wake it up and can't connect to the WiFi without resetting the router. Any ideas? | 03:32 |
| mariorz | no, I can use google | 03:32 |
| jmadero | mariorz: nevermind I'll stop wasting my time - good luck | 03:32 |
| mariorz | and would obviously do so before coming here | 03:32 |
| mariorz | jmadero: please | 03:32 |
| threesixes | tr3y, what router make and model number? | 03:32 |
| jmadero | anyone know how to output one line of find at a time through a loop in a bash script? trying to automate this stupid m3u creation that I have going :) | 03:33 |
| tr3y | threesixes, ill go check. | 03:33 |
| tr3y | threesixes, TP LINK TLWR720N | 03:35 |
| mariorz | can someone help me understand this line from the apt.log? Broken libdb5.1:i386 PreDepends on multiarch-support [ i386 ] < none -> 2.15-0ubuntu10.12 > ( libs ) | 03:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | Remoboth, http://askubuntu.com/questions/9047/cant-adjust-brightness-on-my-laptop | 03:37 |
| Remoboth | bodhi_zazen- Thanks. | 03:37 |
| threesixes | tr3y, if you leave the lid open over night does it require reset? | 03:38 |
| tr3y | threesixes, I don't believe so. I just left the lid open from about 11am to 11pm and it kept the connection. | 03:38 |

| Guest86360 | any tip on fish/blowkey auto exchange when queries on xchat or konversation | 03:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | Remoboth, xrandr will work too | 03:40 |
| threesixes | next round try reloading the network manager service, if that doesnt work its probably uhhh the wifi low power link disabling prog | 03:40 |
| Guest86360 | didnt quit understand you.. use bash lol | 03:40 |

| fotografisto | my fan in my laptop stopped working | 03:41 |
| fotografisto | but my laptop is not hot | 03:42 |
| fotografisto | and I left it on | 03:42 |
| fotografisto | did I blow out my fan? | 03:42 |
| fotografisto | I mean I left the laptop on plugged in | 03:42 |
| O_Andrew | it's probably the fan driver turning it off | 03:42 |
| fotografisto | because it isn't hot? | 03:43 |
| Guest86360 | yes ok but chan wiht blowkey and to encrypt pm message .. :S | 03:43 |
| tr3y | threesixes, you know of a good website that could walk me through those things? I will google it if not. I really appreciate the help. | 03:43 |
| Guest86360 | yes i use OpenSSL 1.0.2c for fp secure connection and transfer | 03:43 |
| Guest86360 | *ftp | 03:43 |
| fotografisto | O_Andrew so is it safe? | 03:44 |
| fotografisto | I guess I just wait for it to get hot | 03:44 |
| O_Andrew | fotografisto: you can try rebooting the laptop, the fan's should run full speed on the POST, and turn off when ubuntu loads | 03:44 |
| fotografisto | okay | 03:45 |
| O_Andrew | You could also install lm-sensors and run 'sensors' to find out more about your computer's sensor capabilities | 03:45 |
| fotografisto | I will try that | 03:45 |
| threesixes | tr3y, im running funtoo with openrc, i haven't used ubuntu in years... its just the systemd service file to restart networkmanager, and if that fails its that prog.. it's name is escaping me at the moment... RFKILL | 03:45 |

| threesixes | shibu_, man chattr ala console/terminal | 03:48 |
| gunfus | @threesixes what is promiscous mode? I think the problem might also be related to the messages.. I can see in the LOG for VSFTPD the mesg printing OKAY, but in the console of the client, the messages are delayed | 03:48 |
| gunfus | can I do a screenshot? | 03:49 |

| al_nz1 | HI peoples | 03:50 |
| kotomi | :shibu_ does it get wrong ? or just couldn't work on Ubuntu? | 03:50 |
| al_nz1 | I need some help please with a sound problem. I get sound in VLC etc - but no sound in any browser. | 03:50 |
| shibu_ | Sorry i don't understand what you told to me | 03:51 |
| al_nz1 | So no sound in youtube tec | 03:51 |
| shibu_ | Yep pendrive is working but not format.. | 03:51 |
| shibu_ | Is there any way to format my pendirve | 03:51 |
| shibu_ | Is there any way to format my pendrive | 03:51 |
| threesixes | shibu_, gparted | 03:51 |
| threesixes | al_nz1, you need to set your alsa configurations or pulse audio default device, and reconfigure vlc to use pulse audio | 03:52 |
| kotomi | perhaps you need to sudo chmod -R a+r+w * ? | 03:52 |
| shibu_ | I use gparted but not worked... | 03:52 |
| shibu_ | Is there another disk editor program .. | 03:52 |
| azamrod | e | 03:53 |
| kotomi | Can you read files in pen drive? | 03:53 |
| al_nz1 | threesixes: it was going until recently ..... but ok - where do I look for this alsa config? | 03:53 |
| threesixes | you need to change the drive attributes to allow read write on the drive shibu_ ie chattr | 03:53 |
| gunfus | @threesixes | 03:53 |
| threesixes | its asoundrc, id just go with the pulse configurations, at least i think ubuntu uses pulse still | 03:53 |
| gunfus | threesixes: maybe this will help show the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11786311/ | 03:54 |
| shibu_ | Ok how to change drive attributes | 03:54 |
| azamrod | eee | 03:54 |
| shibu_ | Is there any way from ubuntu | 03:54 |
| james623 | how do I uninstall wine1.7 | 03:54 |
| threesixes | shibu_, im telling you to google for the manual for the command chattr | 03:54 |
| threesixes | =D | 03:54 |
| gunfus | threesixes: look at the seuqence of the msg.. it doesn't add up. The log says it let me in, but the client says it didn't. If I do the same locally it works | 03:54 |
| threesixes | you run the chattr to unlock the drive, then back to gparted | 03:54 |
| gunfus | threesixes: What catches my attention is always msg for VSFTP are off | 03:54 |
| azamrod | hola | 03:54 |
| Trinity | I accidentally 'rm'ed my X11 directory | 03:55 |
| Trinity | what should I do? | 03:55 |
| notaeon | james623: how did you install it? | 03:55 |
| gunfus | Trinity: remove X11 and reinstall it | 03:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | Just reinstall | 03:55 |
| gunfus | Trinity: sudo apt-get remove X11 | 03:55 |
| james623 | sudo apt-get install wine1.7 | 03:55 |
| shibu_ | Ok thanks | 03:55 |
| notaeon | james623: then 'sudo apt-get remove wine1.7' then | 03:55 |
| james623 | I dont think you get me | 03:56 |
| notaeon | james623: installs through apt can be removed by apt | 03:56 |
| gunfus | threesixes: Did you take a look at the pastebin? | 03:56 |
| azamrod | tengo un problema con ubuntu 12.04 | 03:56 |
| Trinity | gunfus, no such file X11 | 03:56 |
| O_Andrew | I am getting closer to the problem: i enabled uvcvideo verbose dmesg logging. And it says this: No fast enough alt setting for requested bandwidth. | 03:56 |
| notaeon | james623: ok, explain more | 03:56 |
| azamrod | in spanish please | 03:56 |

| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 03:56 |
| threesixes | yeah, sure did... gunfus local login works fine too right? | 03:56 |
| azamrod | como hago eso ubottu? | 03:57 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, apt-get --reinstall .... | 03:57 |
| gunfus | Trinity: threesixes yes | 03:57 |
| Ranger15 | Anyone around to help me with making the /dev /hidraw0 to a ttyUSB0 device.. Trying to get a serial port but I get directly connect to hidraw0 | 03:57 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, if in doubt you can reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 03:57 |
| gunfus | threesixes: hang on.. like as in from the console? | 03:57 |
| Trinity | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:57 |
| Trinity | bash: /usr/bin/sudo: No such file or directory | 03:57 |
| gunfus | threesixes: This user dahuacam does't have a shell | 03:57 |
| threesixes | right loopback | 03:57 |
| gunfus | yes | 03:58 |
| gunfus | threesixes: yes | 03:58 |
| threesixes | even external ip may work, but external remote server wont work | 03:58 |
| threesixes | yeah its that pasiv garbage.... | 03:58 |
| Trinity | how fucked am i | 03:58 |
| threesixes | uhhh not very Trinity | 03:58 |
| gunfus | threesixes: I tried the pasv promiscious and restart hte server | 03:58 |
| gunfus | threesixes: no difference | 03:58 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, apt-get --reinstall x11-common will probably work | 03:58 |
| threesixes | ie boot rescue media, and insert sudo via external means | 03:58 |
| gunfus | threesixes: the ODD ODD thing is that even in local FTP login I see "login failed", but I am actually connected, and so says the server log | 03:59 |
| Trinity | bodhi_zazen, drake@blue-thunder:~$ apt-get --reinstall x11-common | 03:59 |
| Trinity | bash: /usr/lib/command-not-found: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 03:59 |
| threesixes | gunfus, there's also a port passive setting that may need flipping | 03:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, you can try to boot to recovery mode, but looks like a larger problem | 03:59 |
| gunfus | threesixes: the max min ports? | 04:00 |
| threesixes | gunfus, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Very_Secure_FTP_Daemon break out the big guns... arch wiki | 04:00 |
| gunfus | I have tried.. but let me double check | 04:00 |
| Trinity | bodhi_zazen, any ideas? | 04:01 |
| Trinity | im scared if i reboot | 04:01 |
| Trinity | i can tget back to gu | 04:01 |
| Trinity | gui | 04:01 |
| Trinity | or | 04:01 |
| Trinity | something | 04:01 |
| azamrod | thank you ubottu | 04:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, you do not have much an option as you can not get root otherwise | 04:01 |
| threesixes | gunfus, did you disable your firewall, or enable ports for ftp? | 04:02 |
| azamrod | never answer in ubuntu-es | 04:02 |
| Trinity | bodhi_zazen, I still have a terminal open | 04:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | Looks like a larger problem, so you are likely looking at reinstall | 04:02 |
| Trinity | i cant open anymore terminals though | 04:02 |
| gunfus | threesixes: This is all in a local network | 04:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | root terminal ? | 04:02 |
| azamrod | yes yes | 04:02 |
| Trinity | + f1? | 04:02 |
| Trinity | ctrl + f1? | 04:02 |
| threesixes | right a firewall will block lan traffic too gunfus | 04:02 |
| moses | how do you get flash to work in ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| azamrod | yes | 04:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | Trinity, you need root access | 04:02 |
| Trinity | okay, ill try backing up | 04:03 |
| Trinity | but if i get to root | 04:03 |
| gunfus | threesixes: no firewall | 04:03 |
| Trinity | what then? | 04:03 |
| azamrod | this a root acces very very important | 04:03 |
| NegativeFlare | !flash | moses | 04:03 |
| ubottu | moses: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 04:03 |
| lotuspsychje | moses: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:03 |
| azamrod | yes | 04:03 |
| azamrod | sudo apt get install guadalinexedu-meta | 04:04 |
| moses | is it dangerous to use flash? | 04:04 |
| azamrod | guadalinex edu | 04:04 |
| azamrod | is very important | 04:04 |
| NegativeFlare | moses: no? | 04:04 |
| threesixes | gunfus, double check that nftables iptables ufw and firewalld are not running | 04:04 |
| azamrod | yes | 04:04 |
| lotuspsychje | moses: security is a very wide topic..its reccomended to always keep your eyes open | 04:04 |
| azamrod | install guadalinex edu, distribution desarrolled by CGA | 04:05 |
| gunfus | threesixes: take a look at this while I go look the iptables | 04:05 |
| gunfus | threesixes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11786340/ | 04:05 |
| threesixes | the best security is to not have anything important in the first place | 04:05 |

| azamrod | sorry, me referia a Ubuntu | 04:06 |
| azamrod | ok? | 04:06 |
| gunfus | threesixes: no iptables | 04:07 |
| gunfus | threesixes: no iptables setup | 04:07 |
| azamrod | how do say spanish? | 04:07 |
| gunfus | azamrod: how do you say spanish for what? | 04:07 |
| gunfus | threesixes: can't find anything about nftables | 04:08 |
| gunfus | threesixes: only the headers | 04:08 |
| azamrod | spanish | 04:08 |
| gunfus | threesixes: any other thoughts? | 04:08 |
| threesixes | yeah past that tcp wrappers may block the connection i think that its set to whitelist hosts that connect | 04:09 |
| gunfus | threesixes: I also tried to remove the package and reinstall it | 04:09 |
| threesixes | i hate vsftpd and ftp in general, i switched to sftp because ssh is better anyways | 04:09 |
| gunfus | threesixes: I so agree with you | 04:09 |
| threesixes | windows clients use scp to connect to sftp | 04:09 |
| gunfus | but this cam requires FTP | 04:10 |
| threesixes | i upgraded out of that old old old technology | 04:10 |
| threesixes | ouch | 04:10 |

But now when I checked it, it is stuck at "Downloading Dropbox ... 3%". It is not continuing the process. Should I go into recovery mode and fix broken packages? | 06:11 |
| ObrienDave | why, oh why, do people insist on "upgrading packages while installing"? | 06:12 |
| masgushi | bye :) | 06:13 |

| boodllebat | Hello | 06:47 |
| redstar | Hi guys I really need some help getting the onboard wifi working on my PC. It's an ath9k chipset, and in my network manager it doesn't list available wifi networks, and when I try to connect to a wifi network it just hangs then does nothing. | 06:48 |
| boodllebat | I've made a small plugin how can i add it to apt package manager so that users can download it ? | 06:48 |
| redstar | I'm running a fresh install of 15.04. | 06:48 |
| DBoyz_ | Aha another qualcomm atheros | 06:48 |
| redstar | ;( | 06:49 |
| DBoyz_ | Mine's QCA9377 though | 06:49 |
| DBoyz_ | not sure which chipset it belongs to | 06:49 |
| redstar | AR9462 here | 06:49 |
| DBoyz_ | hence I need help :/ | 06:49 |
| redstar | Did you have any luck getting it working? | 06:49 |
| DBoyz_ | redstar: there are a few tutorial that I found | 06:50 |
| redstar | ath9k.conf in modprobe directory? I tried it without luck ;( | 06:50 |
| auronandace | boodllebat: http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/packaging-new-software.html | 06:50 |
| redstar | Might try compat-wireless package next if I can find one for my kernel. | 06:51 |
| redstar | Which is 3.19.0-21-generic by the way. | 06:51 |
| DBoyz_ | redstar: ah found it. http://askubuntu.com/questions/215498/how-to-install-qualcomm-atheros-ar9565-wireless-drivers | 06:52 |
| === bob is now known as Guest73621 | ||
| DBoyz_ | but that's for 12.04 :/ | 06:52 |
| redstar | Yeah that's from 2012 do you think it's still relevant? | 06:53 |
| DBoyz_ | I have no idea. The method should be similar | 06:53 |
| SysAdmin7 | Did you install the ath9k drivers from ubuntu. | 06:53 |
| redstar | I didn't know there were specific drivers. I installed build-essentials and linux-headers-generic though as recommended by some posts I seen. | 06:53 |
| DBoyz_ | Apparently there are. I've just discovered it out today. | 06:54 |
| SysAdmin7 | Try modinfo ath9k | 06:54 |
| redstar | Are we talking about the compat-wireless packages or what? | 06:54 |
| SysAdmin7 | What's your output from that command? | 06:55 |
| DBoyz_ | I think you better direct the question to SysAdmin7. I have very little knowledge to help, sorry. | 06:56 |
| DBoyz_ | I'm actually here trying to fix a wifi issue too lol. | 06:56 |
| SysAdmin7 | What's ur problem | 06:56 |
| DBoyz_ | SysAdmin7: Similar to redstar's but I'm using QCA9377. I'm not sure which chipset it belongs to | 06:57 |
| DBoyz_ | Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 to be exact. | 06:57 |
| redstar | DBoyz_, please let tonight be our night of solving this god forsaken issue! | 06:58 |
| glitch | redstar found three threads about your wi-fi device and linux general census is get a cheep usb dongle that works and wait for the driver | 06:58 |
| redstar | glitch, I googled pretty heavily and never seen any of those recommendations, can you link? | 06:59 |
| redstar | Also I need bluetooth too and I think it's tied to this same issue. Ugh! | 06:59 |
| DBoyz_ | redstar: I'm sure yours would be a relatively easier fix. | 06:59 |
| SysAdmin7 | Dboyz: Bluetooth? | 06:59 |
| threesixes | wna1100 6 bucks ath9k_htc =D | 06:59 |
| DBoyz_ | SysAdmin7: sorry. wifi | 06:59 |
| glitch | redstar: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2281584 the rest referance back to it | 06:59 |
| redstar | DBoyz_, why would mine be easier? | 07:00 |
| SysAdmin7 | Dboyz: kk | 07:00 |
| redstar | Anyone wanna see my wireless_script output? :) | 07:01 |
| DBoyz_ | redstar: because your ath9k chipset has been around for a few years and has been supported by the community unlike mine | 07:01 |
| redstar | Yours is 9k too though... | 07:02 |
| redstar | A9377 | 07:02 |
| DBoyz_ | are you sure? | 07:02 |
| redstar | The number 9377 is in the 9k range no? | 07:03 |
| SysAdmin7 | Redstar: did you try creating a file /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf with contents: options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 | 07:03 |
| redstar | Yes | 07:03 |
| DBoyz_ | but the model name starts with QCA. yours starts with A<something> right? | 07:03 |
| redstar | And I've confirmed that param is loaded. | 07:03 |
| SysAdmin7 | Kk, did u install compat drivers | 07:03 |
| redstar | No compat drivers yet, but I haven't come across relevant package for my kernel and afaik compat packages are for installing software from newer versions of the distro, which isn't the case given I'm on 15.04. | 07:04 |
| SysAdmin7 | Have you installed backports? | 07:06 |
| redstar | That's just the newer rendition of compat no? | 07:07 |
| SysAdmin7 | Yep | 07:07 |
| redstar | No I haven't done that, but like I said, it doesn't seem like the right solution. | 07:07 |
| SysAdmin7 | Well, you might as well try it... | 07:08 |
| redstar | Do you know where I can get the right package for kernel 3.19.0-21-generic? | 07:08 |
| SysAdmin7 | http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ | 07:09 |
| SysAdmin7 | Grab the 3.19 download | 07:09 |
| Lewoco | I created a new X session by connecting to an xRDP but all I get it the default black-and-white X background. How do I start unity? | 07:10 |
| redstar | I am a bit of a newb with building from source, do you have some guide for me? :) | 07:10 |
| SysAdmin7 | Unzip the Tarbell | 07:10 |
| SysAdmin7 | Pp | 07:10 |
| DBoyz_ | SysAdmin7: can I use ath9k driver for my chipset too? | 07:10 |
| SysAdmin7 | Autocorrect... | 07:10 |
| SysAdmin7 | Tar -xzvf .... | 07:11 |
| redstar | Done.. | 07:11 |
| glitch | ok which chat would my best bet be to handle dual screen resolution issues | 07:11 |
| SysAdmin7 | Cd into the new directory | 07:11 |
| auronandace | !checkinstall | redstar | 07:11 |
| ubottu | redstar: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| meandrain | TJ-: thanx | 09:29 |
| al2o3-cr | TJ-: whats wrong with cgdisk? | 09:30 |
| TJ- | meandrain: 'cgdisk' and 'sgdisk' are close cousins of 'gdisk' but are targeted at scripted or text-based curses windowing mode | 09:30 |
| TJ- | al2o3-cr: Nothing at all, it's a curses wrapper around gdisk | 09:30 |

| shomon | lotuspsychje, so I need to reinstall everything and start again? I followed that page a while back and somehow got this dongle working | 10:06 |
| shomon | I don't really want to mess with it. Just to be able to not have to start it manually each time I boot | 10:07 |
| shomon | so to rephrase the question | 10:07 |
| shomon | how do you get a module to load at boot? | 10:07 |
| lotuspsychje | shomon: why would you load ndiswrapper, when you need a broadcom driver? | 10:07 |
| shomon | I'm connected to the internet already, and via ndiswrapper | 10:08 |
| shomon | it's just a wrapper for windows dirvers | 10:08 |
| lotuspsychje | cfhowlett: greetings mate | 10:08 |
| shomon | the broadcom driver installs within ndiswrapper. so that's fine. | 10:09 |
| cfhowlett | lotuspsychje, heydiho! | 10:09 |
| shomon | what I need to do is get ndiswrapper to load at each boot | 10:09 |
| Johnny_Linux | you need the driver, not wrapper | 10:09 |
| lotuspsychje | shomon: if you find the correct linux broadcom driver, it will load automaticly on boot | 10:09 |
| shomon | aah... well I just upgraded to 14.. maybe now that will work | 10:10 |

The default greeter shows fine at full resolution. He told me the last thing he did was installing updates. The text ttys are working.

| never2far | vfw, i'll explain in the following lines: | 12:09 |
| nappy | how come i am unable to listen sound from my earphone on ubuntu | 12:10 |
| TJ- | never2far: is the RAID-5 a hardware RAID or software RAID - and if software, using md (Linux RAID) or dm (fake-RAID) ? | 12:10 |
| never2far | vfw, because the host did not let me use raid5 from the begging of the installation ...i had to follow their install and use RAID1 with 3 disks ...then I have tried to remove 2 members from the array and create a new raid5 | 12:10 |
| never2far | i had tried this guide but somehow it did not work - http://blog.scott.wallace.sh/2007/04/converting-raid1-to-raid5-with-no-data.html | 12:11 |
| never2far | regarding RAID ...it's software raid but i don't know how to tell if it's Linux RAID ( i suppose this is ) or dm (fake raid) | 12:11 |
| linuxd | bubblemon shows a memory usage of 59%(9.8/16.4GB)isn't it sort of a high rate? | 12:12 |
| never2far | now ...i had created RAID5 ...with sda2 and sdb2 , i did chroot from the rescue and synced data from the third disk ...the only problem is that i can't manage to fix grub ...it still see ubuntu as being installed on sdc2 and not on /dev/md2 | 12:12 |
| TJ- | never2far: If you used mdadm then it's Linux RAID | 12:12 |
| never2far | TJ-, it's Linux RAID then | 12:13 |
| never2far | thank you | 12:13 |
| === RichiH is now known as Richih_ | ||
| TJ- | never2far: Is there some reason you chose RAID-5? There are very few scenarios where it is recommended, and especially *not* with 3 disks | 12:13 |
| never2far | TJ-, that's the request from the one who owns the server | 12:14 |
| never2far | TJ, why it's not recommended with 3 disks ? ...it's the minimum | 12:14 |
| never2far | and as far as I know if one drive fails raid is still functional | 12:15 |
| TJ- | never2far: might be worth referring them to http://www.smbitjournal.com/2012/11/choosing-a-raid-level-by-drive-count/ | 12:15 |
| never2far | TJ-, thank you for the link ...i'll read about it | 12:15 |
| TJ- | never2far: in the footnotes: "RAID 5 never appears because there is no time on spindle hard drives today that it should be used, as RAID 5 is an enhancement of RAID 4, it too does not appear on the list." | 12:15 |

| anddam | linuxd: ^ | 12:17 |
| anddam | linuxd: I was typing and didn't read | 12:18 |
| anddam | linuxd: what's an appropriate channel for it? | 12:18 |
| TJ- | never2far: Is the RAID applied to partitions or to the entire physical drives? | 12:18 |
| anddam | I ask as the domain is launchpad.net but the pages say "Ubuntu One" | 12:18 |
| linuxd | anddam: ##linux , maybe? | 12:18 |
| never2far | TJ-, i'll create a pastebin link with all the info you need | 12:18 |
| TJ- | never2far: Ahhh! I see your issue | 12:19 |
| TJ- | never2far: You'll have a /dev/mdX device representing the RAID device | 12:19 |
| anddam | linuxd: how's that more appropriate for Ubuntu One? | 12:19 |
| never2far | yup | 12:19 |
| TJ- | never2far: is /dev/mdX a container for a file-system or does it contain a partition table? | 12:20 |
| Bozza | never2far: have you tried switching it off and on again? | 12:21 |
| linuxd | anddam: try #debian-next | 12:21 |
| never2far | TJ-, here is the pastebin - http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787727/ | 12:21 |
| anddam | linuxd: are you for real? | 12:21 |
| linuxd | anddam: no | 12:21 |
| nappy | how do i set my system inorder to listen from my ear piece | 12:21 |
| never2far | TJ-, Bozza , /dev/md2 contains the file-system and i can mount it ...but after reboot ...grub won't boot from it | 12:22 |
| anddam | linuxd: I figured | 12:22 |
| never2far | somehow (if u have read the other link) ...md2 was before the changes a raid-1 array with all 3 members ... | 12:22 |
| TJ- | never2far: Are you using 'chroot' on /dev/md2 's mounted file-system to run update-grub ? | 12:23 |
| never2far | yup | 12:23 |
| linuxd | and sorry.just kidding you. so,what ia your problem? | 12:23 |
| TJ- | never2far: Have you also mounted /sys /dev /dev/pts /proc /run before entering the chroot? | 12:23 |
| linuxd | anddam: sorry.just kidding you. so,what is your problem? | 12:24 |
| never2far | not all ...just /sys, dev and proc | 12:24 |
| never2far | ok i'll mount /run also ...did not know i'll need it | 12:24 |
| TJ- | never2far: /dev/pts can be more important | 12:24 |
| never2far | i did mount --bind /dev /new-disk/dev ...should not pts be included in this mount ? | 12:25 |
| TJ- | never2far: Then I'd check whether grub has create itself a drivemap in /boot/grub/ that is pointing to the physical devices | 12:25 |
| musclez | hello beautiful ubuntites | 12:25 |
| never2far | TJ-, monted all | 12:25 |
| TJ- | never2far: no, because --bind doesn't cross file-systems. (/dev/pts) is a separate file system | 12:25 |
| never2far | TJ-, thx for the info ...i have monted all | 12:26 |
| never2far | did not know that :( | 12:26 |
| TJ- | never2far: I discovered that after banging my head a bit ... a long time ago now | 12:26 |
| TJ- | never2far: check out GRUB's drivemap now | 12:26 |
| never2far | can you please help me with this ? ...i don't know how ...if you give me some minutes i'll try to find it on the web | 12:27 |
| TJ- | never2far: sorry, 'device.map' ... the internal command is drivemap :) | 12:27 |
| TJ- | never2far: GRUB can install an optional alias file "/boot/grub/device.map" that maps physical system device names (/dev/sdX) to GRUB internal names (hdX) | 12:28 |
| never2far | TJ-, drivemap -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787755/ | 12:29 |
| TJ- | never2far: info: see https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Device-map.html | 12:29 |
| never2far | TJ-, i don't have /boot/grub/device.map ...and thank you for your help again ! :) | 12:30 |
| TJ- | never2far: OK, so that's not causing an issue then | 12:30 |
| tokam | Hi, how can I overwrite the $USER variable for some IDEs using Ubuntu with startup parameters? | 12:31 |
| TJ- | never2far: are you able to do "pastebinit <(grub-mkconfig)" ? | 12:34 |
| tokam | Why do I have two such environment variables | 12:34 |
| tokam | USER=tokam | 12:34 |
| tokam | USERNAME=tokam | 12:34 |
| never2far | TJ-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11787772/ | 12:34 |
| TJ- | never2far: That looks OK... now you should do "update-initramfs -u -k all" to ensure the MD drivers and hooks are installed correctly in the initrd | 12:36 |
| never2far | root@rescue:/boot/grub# update-initramfs -u -k all | 12:37 |
| never2far | root@rescue:/boot/grub# echo $? | 12:37 |
| never2far | 0 | 12:37 |
| never2far | should I use mdadm --zero-superblock on /dev/sdc2 before reboot ? | 12:37 |
| never2far | yesterday the os booted from that disk somehow :( | 12:38 |
| never2far | but after zero ...it did not boot anymore | 12:38 |
| TJ- | never2far: That might help, depends on which metadata version is in use | 12:38 |
| never2far | ok i'll do a reboot hopefully it will wok :) | 12:39 |
| TJ- | never2far: Then you need to re-install the grub boot-loader: "grub-install /dev/sda" | 12:39 |
| TJ- | never2far: I've assumed, but not asked, if you ensured the hypervisor/BIOS is configured to boot from sda. it might just be a boot-order issue | 12:45 |

| DexterF | hi | 12:50 |
| DexterF | can the dmraid ("fakeraid") in 14.04 boot a degraded array? | 12:51 |
| TJ- | DexterF: what symptoms are you seeing? Has the array booted correctly previously? | 12:52 |
| DexterF | TJ-: oh, I don't have any problems at all, it's just that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_with_Fake_RAID says "currently dmraid cannot boot a degraded array" | 12:53 |
| ioria | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID#Boot_from_Degraded_Disk | 12:54 |
| DexterF | and what good is a RAID that won't let me boot when only degraded | 12:54 |
| bekks | DexterF: Hopefully none. | 12:54 |
| DexterF | ioria: that's mdadm, not dmraid | 12:55 |
| ioria | ops | 12:55 |
| bekks | DexterF: Whats the actual issue behind your question? | 12:55 |
| DexterF | bekks: if in a raid1 one mirror fails, the machine won't boot if what the Arch wiki says is still true | 12:56 |
| bekks | DexterF: Thats not true :) | 12:56 |
| DexterF | I'll just pull one disk and see whats true and whats not... | 12:57 |
| never2far | TJ-, it worked ...thank you so much for all your help ! | 12:58 |
| musclez | TJ- if you have time and ur not working with anyone else, can i get some of that primo primo support :D you already know aobut what | 12:59 |

| TJ- | musclez: what state is the victim PC in right now? Ready in the chroot? | 13:11 |
| musclez | TJ-: i was in the middle of making a new installaiton of ubuntu on another disk but the isntaller crashed.. i can get in chroot in 2 mins | 13:12 |
| TJ- | musclez: hang on! | 13:13 |
| TJ- | musclez: If the installer crashed on the same hardware I'm going to be talking about a hardware fault yet again! Describe how the installer failed, please | 13:13 |
| musclez | im installign it thoug a usb cable i think i bumped it | 13:14 |
| musclez | its a usb3 sata connection on my desk and i move the disk | 13:15 |
| m82labs | It's been a while, but I seem to remember a way to set a directory up in such a way that any file created there will take on the uid and gid of the directory, not the user that created the file. Am I crazy? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | musclez: can you not just backup your data, and re-install normally ? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | rather than using external disks for installs | 13:15 |
| ikonia | you'll find it a lot quicker, easier and cleaner | 13:15 |
| musclez | i am in chroot | 13:20 |
| ikonia | musclez: what is it you're currently trying to do | 13:20 |
| ikonia | getting a summary would probably help | 13:20 |
| TJ- | ikonia: This was the one with disk corruption | 13:22 |
| ikonia | TJ-: yes, and various other things | 13:23 |
| ikonia | it was going on all last night | 13:23 |
| ikonia | hence why I'm curious what todays attempt is trying to achieve / plan | 13:23 |
| TJ- | likely caused by the corruption ... I suspect bad RAM introducing corruption into the file-systems | 13:23 |
| ikonia | I'm not convinced by that personally, but I'd like to know more / dig deeper | 13:24 |
| ikonia | be nice to put this to bed, once and for all | 13:24 |
| TJ- | ikonia: unexplained crashes, segfaults, behaviour in general, across the board | 13:25 |
| ikonia | TJ-: not unexplained | 13:26 |
| TJ- | musclez: where did it get left, was it with Eric^^ yesterday wanting to reinstall the kernel images into /boot/ and my wanting to fund out why grub couldn't find the root file-system | 13:26 |
| ikonia | user had removed/conflicted packages | 13:26 |
| ikonia | I'd like to see a simple data backup, and clean install using the internal disk - no external usb's etc etc | 13:26 |
| ikonia | run it - then put the data back on once happy it's stable | 13:26 |
| ikonia | but for some reason this seems to be being ignored, not even acknowledged by musclez despite being on day 3 of a non-working computer | 13:26 |
| musclez | Tj-: i backed up my statoverride and deleted any user that was not root, apt-get and dpkg still do not work | 13:27 |
| Alebin | I just wiped out win8.1 and installed ubuntu. I have some internal and some external drives, all ntfs. I have some media files (videos) on an external drive that gets auto-mounted in ubuntu and a mirror backup of those are on an internal drive that doesn't get automounted. I noticed there are at least 3 of those media files now missing, that I'm viewing the drive(s) in ubuntu. I haven't written anything to the drives, for fear of damagi | 13:27 |
| TJ- | musclez: ikonia: I agree, a clean install to prove/disprove hardware issues is vital | 13:28 |
| ikonia | musclez: why are you not even looking at the possibility of a full clean install ? | 13:28 |
| ikonia | I've been stating this to you for over 24 hours now, and you seem to ignore it and just continue down a path of no reward | 13:28 |
| TJ- | i14:13:00 <musclez> TJ-: i was in the middle of making a new installaiton of ubuntu on another disk but the isntaller crashed | 13:29 |
| ikonia | "on another disk" | 13:29 |
| musclez | tj-: eveything was working fine until i messed with the kernels... i lost complete connectivity when i ran the boot-repair | 13:29 |
| ikonia | musclez: is there a reason you are purposefully (it seems) ignoring my advice ? | 13:29 |
| arex\home | I have the "mongodb" (2.4.9) package installed from the built-in repo, and I would like to upgrade to "mongodb-org" (2.6.10) from the mongodb.org repo. How do I do this with causing problems? | 13:30 |
| TJ- | musclez: Then you should ensure you have a backup and then do a fresh clean install, and then reconfigure the trusted clean installed with your bakcup data | 13:30 |
| musclez | tj-: i can easily compensate for why it crashed... its also a differnt hard drive | 13:30 |
| musclez | TJ-: i was doing that, and then the crash... i'd still prefer to ressurct this disk as there was noting wrong with it until i removed kernels | 13:31 |
| ikonia | musclez: you can re-use the disk | 13:31 |
| ikonia | musclez: use a clean install on the same disk | 13:31 |
| ikonia | then just restore the data | 13:31 |
| ikonia | use the clean install for a period of time first, to gain confidence in the data | 13:32 |
| ikonia | sorry gain confidence in the new install | 13:32 |
| TJ- | musclez: the PC has a VG with 255GB - from the rescue boot you could shrink the file-systems and LVs in that VG if they are currently using all the VG's extents, then do a manual partitioning install using the same VG but with new LVs in the same VG | 13:34 |
| ikonia | please - just do a full clean install | 13:35 |
| Alebin | Anybody a clue as to why those files aren't showing up in ubuntu? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | no volume groups, new file system - lets get some confidence in the install | 13:35 |
| ikonia | sorry "new" volume groups | 13:35 |
| ikonia | I'd really advise you not to use encyprtion too - unless you %101 need it | 13:35 |
| ikonia | keep it simple and do a nice clean install | 13:35 |
| ikonia | get some confidence in the install/hardware, then put your data on | 13:35 |
| ikonia | it will take 20 minutes + backup/restore time | 13:35 |
| ikonia | 3 days v's 20 minutes | 13:36 |
| dhrosa | oh, WOW | 13:36 |
| dhrosa | that was confusing... I was running a VNC server on my remote machine, yet when I used the VNC client on my desktop I kept getting connected to the desktop itself, even though the desktop doesn't havwe a vnc server | 13:37 |
| dhrosa | I was running the vnc server on the remote machine byy sshing into it... with X forwarding | 13:37 |
| dhrosa | I'm surprised that worked | 13:37 |
| musclez | TJ-: if the hardware is faulty i cannot trust that method | 13:39 |
| ikonia | musclez: doing a clean install is a great way to test the hardware | 13:39 |
| musclez | Tj-: its not, but using the same disk to to check what you are talking aobut doesnt really make sense | 13:39 |
| ikonia | musclez: removing all doubt of the legacy install that you screwed up | 13:39 |
| ikonia | musclez: do you want to fix this now - yes/no ? | 13:40 |
| TJ- | musclez: you can use that method for a side-by-side install to make porting over the previous install and reclaiming the space it uses. I use that method for release-upgrades and other-distro installs (I break out various parts of the directory hierarchy into separate LVs) | 13:41 |
| ikonia | TJ-: I'd much rather he kept this simple | 13:42 |
| TJ- | musclez: It also allows me to boot other installs in virtual machines for testing. | 13:42 |
| ikonia | TJ-: he struggled with mkdir commands - I don't think this is a good approach | 13:42 |
| ikonia | a clean install with data only backup seems the best method | 13:42 |
| ikonia | if possible removing encryption | 13:42 |
| ikonia | and any other complexity not needed | 13:43 |
| musclez | its not really helping the issue, i can back up the data and resotre it.. im trying to avoid have to reconfigure the entire server | 13:43 |
| ikonia | musclez: you've already done that | 13:43 |
| TJ- | ikonia: I agree, I'm just pointing out 1 way to maintain the existing data on the disk rather than swapping out disks or doing a backup to external disk (since the history with not upsetting external disks is not good!) | 13:43 |
| ikonia | musclez: you've already re-configured the whole server for 3 days ! | 13:43 |
| ikonia | TJ-: this is getting a bit old now - he either needs to get on board with this (ignoring this discussion is getting pretty rude) | 13:43 |
| ikonia | he has a usb disk | 13:44 |
| ikonia | backup | 13:44 |
| ikonia | clean install | 13:44 |
| ikonia | restore | 13:44 |
| TJ- | The problem with backing up the data is, if there is intermittent hardware-induced corruption then it may infect the backup, too | 13:44 |
| ikonia | thats why you take "data" | 13:44 |
| ikonia | rather than OS/app stuff | 13:44 |
| ikonia | so the whole new install, new VG's, new file system, no encyption etc etc, run it safely for X period of time, then restore user data | 13:44 |
| TJ- | Whilst I suspect hardware issues I always swap out the disk for a new one to avoid any possibility of making matters worse | 13:44 |
| musclez | TJ-: theoretically, any transfer of that data will not be "safe" if the hardware is "faulty".. another reason why i would like to ensure that the disk is unsalvagable before dismissing it as a hardware issue | 13:45 |
| ikonia | I don't think there is a hardware issue, (but I know why you are saying this) his corruption in my opinion was caused by all the messing with the disks he did | 13:45 |
| musclez | tj-: yes i think i am agreeing with you then | 13:45 |
| ikonia | musclez: best way to do it then is to backup now, remove any disk | 13:45 |
| ikonia | any warning / risk on the disk | 13:45 |
| ikonia | clean install on the same disk, run it, you'll be confident it works then | 13:45 |
| ikonia | once you're confident it works, put your user data back on it | 13:46 |
| TJ- | musclez: The disk is fine based on the SMART report; I suspect RAM or disk controller I/O issues, or just the after-effects of previous (bot not ongoing) file-system corruption. We already have evidence that the file-system on /dev/sda2 for /boot/ was heavily corrupted | 13:46 |
| musclez | Tj: i beleive the curruption occured when i ran boot-repair or possible when we changed the UUID | 13:46 |
| ikonia | I believe the corruption happened when you messed with the disk inside/outside the chroot at the same time | 13:47 |
| musclez | TJ-: there were no issues finding drives when the UUID was in its orriginal state | 13:47 |
| TJ- | musclez: The corruption we witnessed doesn't happen inadvertently ... something sprayed the file-system with random data | 13:47 |
| ikonia | so a clean install will remove that doubt | 13:47 |
| TJ- | musclez: do you have the option of swapping out the disk? | 13:47 |
| ikonia | TJ-: he was trying to solve his encyption, and wrote directly to the /dev device | 13:47 |
| ikonia | I suspect thats where his mess came in | 13:48 |
| ikonia | (could be wrong though) | 13:48 |
| musclez | TJ-: physiscally? | 13:48 |
| TJ- | ikonia: hmmm, yes, I can imagine that might not help, although I'm not sure how that would happen whilst still retaining the the majority of the file-system meta-data intact. | 13:48 |
| TJ- | musclez: Yes, physically! | 13:48 |
| ikonia | TJ-: hence my "not sure" | 13:49 |
| Alebin | I just wiped out win8.1 and installed ubuntu. I have some internal and some external drives, all ntfs. I have some media files (videos) on an external drive that gets auto-mounted in ubuntu and a mirror backup of those are on an internal drive that doesn't get automounted. I noticed there are at least 3 of those media files now missing, that I'm viewing the drive(s) in ubuntu. I haven't written anything to the drives, for fear of damagi | 13:49 |
| musclez | tj-: yeah but i was just doing it over usb cuz im lazy | 13:49 |
| ikonia | musclez: backup your data to the usb | 13:49 |
| ikonia | musclez: do a clean install on the existing drive | 13:49 |
| ikonia | it takes 20 minutes and you will have confidence | 13:49 |
| TJ- | musclez: If not, and you *have* to do a backup to an external device, you'll have to calculate a hash on the existing disk images and the backups to ensure they images are identical | 13:49 |
| ikonia | do you understand why I'm saying this over and over to you ? | 13:49 |
| musclez | tj-: the server is sitting in front of me | 13:50 |
| TJ- | musclez: 'lazy' has cost you several days of headaches so far | 13:50 |
| musclez | tj-: swappign my disk out doesnt solve the issue of my missing boot drive | 13:50 |
| ikonia | musclez: can you please acklowedge this | 13:50 |
| ikonia | musclez: why will you not do a clean install on your existing disk | 13:50 |
| ikonia | what is stopping you ? | 13:51 |
| TJ- | musclez: swap-out, test install as ikonia recommends, run for a while to be sure, then decide whether to import the configuration and data from the backup, or do something more complicated | 13:51 |
| musclez | tj-: my laziness is a euphimesm for the lack of documentation of the issue, please dont get it twitsted | 13:51 |
| musclez | tj-: i ran live usb over night... what exactly are we testing here? | 13:52 |
| MACscr | is there really not a simple way to limit the number of kernels that ubuntu keeps? Im getting inconsistent results from apt-get automremove. Both systems were created using the same pxe image, but autoremove seems to remove old kernels on one system and not on the other. Any suggestions? | 13:52 |
| TJ- | musclez: I used your own words; I have no idea you're using a euphemism | 13:52 |
| TJ- | musclez: That the SATA I/O controller isn't corrupting data | 13:52 |
| musclez | tj-: the drive, the sata port? my motherboard? psu? | 13:53 |
| musclez | ok | 13:53 |
| azamrod | hello | 13:53 |
| ikonia | TJ-: I'd be quiet intersted to know if it did | 13:53 |
| ikonia | re-install onto the same disk so it's a fair test | 13:53 |
| ikonia | save time on the swap out, just backup the data, | 13:53 |
| musclez | Tj-: so if i just swap to a differnt sata port, that will be alright iwth you? | 13:53 |
| TJ- | musclez: You can test everything else with the Live USB, but that's the one channel (plus the disk itself of course) where hardware issues could still be present. | 13:53 |

| musclez | tj-, its not hardware.. my disk would be unmounting every 3 seoncds if that were the case | 13:54 |
| ikonia | musclez: no it would not | 13:55 |
| ikonia | a mount is not a valid test | 13:55 |
| TJ- | musclez: I think we've made it more than clear the best approaches and what they're intended to achieve. From now on it's up to you. | 13:55 |
| ikonia | musclez: do you want to fix this and get a clear understandign of the problem yes/no ? | 13:55 |
| azamrod | no | 13:55 |
| TJ- | musclez: No... I've worked on several very pernicious hardware bugs where the disk controller, or a marginally faulty cable, would introduce bit-flipping errors that didn't result in outright I/O command errors | 13:56 |
| musclez | tj- there is no kernel on the drive right now.. what do i do after the sata port is switch | 13:56 |

| linux | bios is the basic input optup system | 14:16 |
| TJ- | never2far: If this were just happening at boot-time I'd think that GRUB hasn't included the raid modules in its core.img | 14:16 |

| never2far | TJ-, i think you are right ...but i have a question also ... error: disk `mduuid/ .... mduuid should be equal to what i obtain by using blkid /dev/md2 ? | 14:17 |
| never2far | because it's not equal :( | 14:17 |
| Alebin | bekks: yeah, i got rid of win8.1; it was installed on another drive all together... an ssd and partitioned ext4 and installed ubuntu there | 14:17 |
| linux | spanish | 14:17 |
| bekks | Alebin: And if the files arent in your backup anymore, it must have been quita a time they got deleted. | 14:17 |

| never2far | is there any way i can force grub to recheck and reinstall all ? ...grub-install trows me the same error | 14:18 |
| Alebin | bekks: they were in the backup and original ntfs storage drives the very moment before i reset out of win8.1 and put the ubuntu installation media in | 14:18 |
| TJ- | never2far: grub-probe failing to find that ID is what makes be think there's something more to this, although grub-probe tries to use the same grub modules for discovery as it uses at boot time | 14:18 |
| Alebin | bekks: i checked all my backups to be sure they were up to date before i did that | 14:19 |
| bekks | Alebin: I doubt even more that Ubuntu deletes files in your original place AND in your backup. | 14:19 |
| TJ- | Alebin: Was the system using the SSD as a hybrid caching front-end a.k.a the Intel 'Smart Response' caching? | 14:20 |
| Alebin | bekks: i know right.. but that's what it seems like happened. The only other thing i found was some ntfs-3g bug about locales, but that apparently was fixed in 2009 | 14:20 |
| bekks | Alebin: I still believe you deleted your files some time ago, accidentially. | 14:20 |
| Alebin | TJ-: no, the ssd was dedicated to win8.1 solely | 14:20 |

| Alebin | bekks: nope, like i said i was watching one of the videos shortly before the repartition/install for ubuntu and would never delete the files.... i would never delete anything from the folder that the files were in | 14:21 |
| TJ- | Alebin: Are you saying *all* files have gone missing from these NTFS file-systems, or just a small sub-set? | 14:21 |
| === Mitchell92 is now known as Mitchell92[A] | ||
| bekks | linux: No hablo español. | 14:21 |
| linux | yo hablo algo de ingles | 14:22 |
| Alebin | TJ-: well right now, i know of 3 | 14:22 |
| Alebin | TJ-: by eyeballing the size of the directory, i have a feeling there's more | 14:22 |
| Alebin | TJ-: but haven't verified that yet | 14:22 |
| TJ- | Alebin: So the internal/external drives contain NTFS file-systems containing these files. What tool is responsible for maintaining the backup state and what triggers it to be executed? | 14:24 |
| linux | hello bekks | 14:24 |
| === user is now known as Guest48237 | ||
| Alebin | TJ-: it was a windows tool, create synchronicity; that was set to never modify the source of the backup, only synchronize it to the destination on a nightly basis. | 14:25 |
| Alebin | Alebin: the source drive is also relatively new (about 4 months or so i guess) and i've had no other problems out of it; while the backup drive is old, probably 5+ years; but no problems out of it either | 14:26 |
| Alebin | TJ-: it really looks like there's something maybe the ntfs-3g doesn't like about those video files.. that's why i was checking to see if they were hidden or anything | 14:27 |
| TJ- | Alebin: If one of those file-systems hasn't been mounted then ntfs-3g can't have done anything | 14:28 |
| TJ- | Alebin: Are you sure those 'missing' files aren't simply stored in alternate NTFS streams? | 14:28 |
| Alebin | TJ-: well i, probably stupidly, manually mounted the source storage drive to check it | 14:28 |
| Alebin | TJ-: alternate ntfs streams? | 14:29 |
| === Guest48237 is now known as user123321 | ||
| TJ- | Alebin: sure an NTFS file can contain multiple separate streams of data; usually only the default is used, but if the data were in an alternate stream I'm not sure ntfs-3g is stream-aware | 14:30 |
| TJ- | Alebin: to rule that out, refer to this: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-manual/#5 | 14:31 |
| Alebin | TJ-: yeah, that's a new one on me; i'm looking into it | 14:32 |
| TJ- | Alebin: I'm doubting it... but I have seen this fox users on rare occasions | 14:32 |

| TJ- | Alebin: The other issue to consider is if the filename are in Win32 namespace they are legally allowed to contain a zero (0x00) byte. On Linux by default ntfs-3g will use the POSIX namespace which treats the 0x00 as the End-Of-String (EOS) character (as in C-strings). | 14:36 |
| TJ- | Alebin: are you able to attach the external drive to another Windows PC and check whether the files appear there? That'd be a quick way to analyse this | 14:37 |
| Alebin | TJ-: nope, no other windows pcs around | 14:38 |
| Alebin | TJ-: nope, not seeing them with the streams interface set | 14:41 |
| TJ- | Alebin: the only other 'hiding' possibility is the POSIX namespace issue, on that page I linked you to it shows also how to activate the windows_names namespace | 14:43 |
| TJ- | Alebin: I can't imagine how ntfs-3g would randomly remove the directory entries for those files, even if you tried to read the data from the files | 14:43 |
| DexterF | is there a "bleeding edge spanking new kernel" repository? I'd like to have 4.2 in a 15.04 machine as soon as it becomes released, any options here without compiling myself? | 14:45 |
| TJ- | Alebin: The only thing in that regard I could think of is if when you finally shutdown you didn't do a full poweroff shutdown (avoiding a 'faststart' hibernate shutdown), in which case the NTFS journal log may not have been flushed into the file-system. | 14:45 |
| TJ- | !mainline | DexterF | 14:45 |
| ubottu | DexterF: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 14:45 |

| Alebin | TJ-: nope, windows_names doesn't seem to do the trick either | 14:46 |
| m1chael | i used dd to make a copy of a hard disk. the file ended up being exactly 250gb. the drive isn't full at all. i guess this is expected. how do programs like clonezilla and redo backup do this to produce smaller disk images (that only contain the actual data) for snapshot-like images of a hard disk? | 14:47 |
| TJ- | Alebin: I'm out of ideas then. Do you know the exact names of the missing files? I'm wondering if they could somehow have been cross-linked in which case a "find /path/to/ntfs/mountpoint -type f -iname '*pattern*' " might reveal them elsewhere | 14:47 |
| TJ- | m1chael: They recognise unused blocks and store metadata in their file-format about them | 14:48 |
| tomreyn | m1chael: they actually copy the file system in addition to the partition table | 14:48 |
| TJ- | m1chael: If I have a 1GB file-system and only 100MB is in use, I can simply store a table of unused block numbers and not copy those into the saved image | 14:49 |
| Alebin | TJ-: nope, find didn't return anything on them | 14:49 |
| TJ- | m1chael: The resulting backup will then be 100MB + my file format meta-data overhead | 14:49 |
| m1chael | TJ- i like that | 14:49 |
| TJ- | Alebin: I'm out of ideas then. If only a few files seem to not be there it's not like the file-systems have been reformatted | 14:50 |
| MACscr | anyone else had issues with their vlan's being renamed to renme9@bond0, etc? | 14:50 |
| MACscr | its really annoying and screwing up my network configs | 14:50 |
| TJ- | MACscr: sounds like a udevd race issue | 14:51 |
| MACscr | TJ-: probably. I am renaming my hardware network interfaces in general | 14:51 |
| MACscr | any suggestions? | 14:51 |
| MACscr | i need to rename them | 14:51 |
| TJ- | MACscr: deal with udevd - sounds like a persistent-net.rules issue | 14:53 |
| MACscr | TJ-: deal with it how? i have 70-persistent-net.rules setup to rename my physical network interfaces, which is working. Those obviously would rename before any actual networking is done, right? I mean, i wouldnt make sense for them not to. | 14:54 |
| MACscr | it* | 14:54 |
| TJ- | MACscr: If you've got vlan interfaces being renamed on top of other interfaces then udevd must be starting the interface renaming process and getting 'stuck' in the midst of the operation and leaving the interface in the 'rename' state | 14:56 |
| linux | ee | 14:56 |
| MACscr | im not renaming any of the vlans | 14:57 |
| MACscr | only the physical nics | 14:57 |
| TJ- | MACscr: "/lib/udev/write_net_rules" is supposed to avoid VLAN and Bridge interfaces | 14:58 |
| TJ- | MACscr: that @bond0 suggests you're using Link Aggregation, is that so? | 14:58 |
| MACscr | yes | 14:59 |
| linux | I have a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin | 14:59 |
| MACscr | TJ-: full info http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2284121&p=13311712 | 14:59 |
| TJ- | MACscr: so I'm guessing you've discovered a hole in udevd's renaming policy | 14:59 |
| linux | I need help | 14:59 |
| MACscr | linux: then ask an actual question | 15:00 |
| masgushi | i am getting APCI PCC probe failed message whenever i try o boot ubuntu 15.04 | 15:01 |
| linux | battery applet appears in English in Ubuntu 12.04 | 15:01 |
| linux | using the Spanish language with classic desktop environment gnome | 15:02 |
| TJ- | MACscr: OK ... this is a guess but ... your "70-persistent-net.rules" is matching on MAC address. Do any of those MACs get reused by the bond interfaces? if so, I can see how this might happen | 15:02 |
| Alebin | TJ-: well thanks for the help; i posted on the ubuntu forums, maybe someone there has another suggestion. It's a pretty weird occurence though | 15:02 |
| masgushi | then it goes into and says "file disk checking" or similar..and irrespective of whether i let it run or cancel it | 15:02 |
| TJ- | Alebin: agreed, intriguing :) | 15:02 |
| masgushi | it gives option of systemctl boot , systemctl default and journal ctl something | 15:03 |
| TJ- | linux: maybe the applet doesn't have a Spanish translation? | 15:03 |
| masgushi | only way to boot into ubuntu is by choosing systemctl default | 15:03 |
| MACscr | isnt Unity the only official one that is supported anyway? | 15:03 |
| MACscr | officially | 15:04 |
| masgushi | i read about it in forums..most say that it is harmless | 15:04 |
| MACscr | TJ-: when I look at ifconfig -a output, im seeing that bond0, br1, mlx1, rename9, rename10 all use the same mac address that is assigned to mlx1 | 15:05 |
| linux | It can be, but if Unity shown in Spanish , goes classic gnome | 15:06 |
| TJ- | MACscr: of course, the vlans will use the same MAC address as the parent interface, which if is using one of the MAC addresses in your "70-persistent-net.rules" is going to try to be renamed but fail since an interface already exists with the target name. I think you just need to but a guard condition in there that jumps out of the file if the interface type is VLAN | 15:07 |
| TJ- | MACscr: maybe jumps out if the interface is a bond, too | 15:08 |
| MACscr | TJ-: i have no idea how that is done. any suggestions? | 15:09 |
| masgushi | please see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788388/ | 15:09 |
| random-user | Hey, I have a question concerning repositories and having up-to-date packages. | 15:11 |
| random-user | I'm on 14.04 and I've installed a few programming languages, namely Haskell. | 15:12 |
| random-user | The installed Haskell is 7.6, whereas the newest release is 7.8. I tried adding a PPA with the newest Haskell version but upon apt-get update and upgrade I was not given the option to update. | 15:13 |
| random-user | Same with Python 3, I'm on 3.4.0 and there's already a 3.4.2 out. | 15:13 |
| TJ- | MACscr: I'd think something like first line: " KERNEL=="vlan*" GOTO="end" " and last line: " LABEL="end" " | 15:13 |
| cfhowlett | random-user, takes time for packages to be added to the mainstream repos and they often lag as you have noted. options: 1. be patient 2. install from source | 15:14 |
| TJ- | MACscr: I'm not 100% sure the KERNEL name will be vlan* you'd need to check that with udevadm monitor whilst bringing up a vlan interface | 15:14 |
| random-user | cfhowlett: If I install from source, will I need to install from source again or is whatever's installed updated when I apt-get upgrade? | 15:15 |
| cfhowlett | random-user, installing from source bypasses apt management as I understand it. pretty sure you'd forced to manually take care of things | 15:16 |
| random-user | Ah, shit. Thanks for your help! | 15:18 |
| TJ- | random-user: re: the PPAs with updated versions. It may be the packages have the new version in their name to prevent conflicts with the archive packages, in which case an upgrade isn't going to install them - you'd need to install them explicitly | 15:18 |
| random-user | If they're labeled major.minor.patch are they labeled just with {{major}}? | 15:20 |
| masgushi | acpi pcc error ..anything that should be done about it? | 15:24 |
| TJ- | random-user: Looking at Herbery Riedel's PPA, you'd need to do "apt-get install ghc-7.8.4" to install latest stable 7.8 packages | 15:26 |
| random-user | If Xmonad depends on ghc will it be using the GHC that came with it or the one from the PPA? | 15:27 |
| TJ- | masgushi: No, it's simply reporting that the ACPI core probed for the new PCC service in the motherboard's firmware but didn't find one | 15:27 |
| TJ- | random-user: If the packages are correctly designed I'd think they'll make use of the 'alternatives' system to enable the user to choose which version is the default. "man update-alternatives" provides more information | 15:28 |
| masgushi | TJ-: ok...i am not able to boot normally and have to go through those sequence steps.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788388/ | 15:29 |
| masgushi | i read on forums that it is harmless and also what you just said | 15:29 |
| masgushi | TJ-: is this message/error likely to get fixed by any future update or kernel upgrade ? | 15:30 |
| TJ- | masgushi: Your problem sounds more like something badly configured in the initial RAM disk (initrd), possibly due to the kernel update | 15:30 |
| TJ- | masgushi: That probe report is put there deliberately... it is informational only. | 15:31 |
| masgushi | ok | 15:31 |
| masgushi | what should be done now | 15:31 |
| masgushi | "badly configured in the initial RAM disk (initrd), possibly due to the kernel update" | 15:32 |
| masgushi | ^^is it harmful | 15:32 |
| masgushi | sorry i am absolute noob | 15:32 |
| TJ- | masgushi: I'm suggesting the update hooks that are triggered when a new kernel is installed have somehow changed the initrd scripts and caused this, but it's hard to be sure of anything without being in front of a system in this condition. The fact you can manually cause it to start suggests that though, its not a hard-failure | 15:34 |
| MACscr | TJ-: sweet. Thanks for help. All i had to do was add DRIVERS=="?*" to my rules | 15:34 |
| masgushi | TJ-: thanks fir the help :).. could you suggest me some steps that i should take if necessary ? | 15:35 |
| TJ- | masgushi: the "file disk checking" suggests a file-system integrity check is in operation, and should be allowed to complete. Does the PC have large disks that might take some time to check? | 15:37 |
| adrmr | what is there to do here | 15:38 |
| masgushi | TJ-: it is a single 500GB HDD..and the file disk checking automatically aborts at 8% and goes to a black screen with those systemctl and journal options | 15:38 |
| TJ- | masgushi: does that not suggest that something serious might be wrong with the file-systems, or disk? | 15:38 |
| TJ- | masgushi: I'd suggest running the file-system checks manually before continuing the boot process. If there is an issue, you should then see more useful reports at the terminal | 15:39 |
| masgushi | ok :) | 15:39 |
| masgushi | could you tell me the commands TJ- :) | 15:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or run them from a live usb | 15:40 |
| TJ- | masgushi: You'd need to identify the device names containing the file-system(s), and then use "fsck /dev/sdXY" where X and Y are specific to your installation | 15:40 |
| masgushi | ok | 15:40 |
| TJ- | masgushi: As bodhi_zazen says, you'd probably be more comfortable booting a Live ISO image since you can run those commands and have access to many more powerful tools, and the Internet, at the same time | 15:41 |
| masgushi | TJ-: ok | 15:42 |
| masgushi | TJ-: i have 14.04.2 iso..should i go with that or get a more recent one like 15.04 | 15:43 |
| adrmr | 14.04 | 15:43 |
| masgushi | ok | 15:43 |
| adrmr | 15.04 still has bugs | 15:43 |
| TJ- | masgushi: No, that is perfect if its a Live Desktop image (not server) | 15:43 |
| masgushi | ok | 15:44 |

| tomreyn | but backups are always good to have for sure | 16:45 |
| masgushi | ok thanks | 16:45 |
| masgushi | MonkeyDust: what does " sudo fsck -TV /dev/blah " do | 16:45 |

| masgushi | ok tomreyn | 16:46 |
| tomreyn | an ntp client makes sure your computers' time stays in sync, so it should prevent this issue from reoccurring. | 16:46 |

| tomreyn | so setup windows to sync to a time server (you can do so with elevated permissions in the time preferences, acessible by clicking on the time in the main windows panel) and make it use utc for the hardware clock, or make linux use the local time for the hardware clock. | 16:48 |

| Dumle29 | I seem to be having some issues with chromium when using gnome. Drop down menus in chrome open, but they are full of white (nothing) and clicking in the dropdown menu does nothing, however using my arrow keys allow me to go through the dropdown list. | 17:02 |
| hypernova | hello testing testin | 17:06 |
| hypernova | mabye my network card is now working? | 17:06 |
| Dumle29 | seems like it | 17:07 |
| hypernova | hurm | 17:07 |
| masgushi | MonkeyDust: i actually forgot to note down the command...but i proceeded with yes in the terminal of live disk(since i had already all the back ups) | 17:12 |
| masgushi | could you tell me that command again :) | 17:12 |
| Dumle29 | masgushi: How far back was it? I can check my backlog | 17:13 |
| masgushi | TJ-: after i proceeded with live disk and did yes to that one..i am no longer getting the file disk checking ..even though i still get the acpi pcc probe error | 17:13 |
| masgushi | Dumle29: would be in between 25 minutes by my guess :) | 17:14 |
| TJ- | masgushi: take precautions about those disk I/O errors... that suggests the drive and/or the controller have problems | 17:14 |
| Dumle29 | masgushi: was it: 'MonkeyDust: what does " sudo fsck -TV /dev/blah " do ' | 17:14 |
| masgushi | ok thanks Dumle29 | 17:14 |
| masgushi | TJ-: ok | 17:14 |
| Dumle29 | was that it? | 17:14 |
| masgushi | yes Dumle29 | 17:15 |
| Dumle29 | Cool :) | 17:15 |
| masgushi | btw i am wondering is it actually "blah" | 17:15 |
| Dumle29 | masgushi: I think blah would be the disc you want to check | 17:15 |
| masgushi | yeah :) | 17:15 |
| Dumle29 | masgushi: Something like sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sde etc etc | 17:16 |
| masgushi | yes Dumle29..got it :) | 17:16 |
| Dumle29 | I highly doubt you have anything in /dev/blah that fsck will read ;p | 17:16 |
| TJ- | masgushi: keep watching the kernel logs for other I/O disk errors... the disk is probably failing | 17:17 |
| TJ- | masgushi: you run the risk of losing all data if you don't have 100% backups | 17:17 |
| masgushi | ok TJ- it's been 3 years old now..i had it ubuntu 12.04 and win7 then | 17:18 |
| masgushi | i will take up more back ups | 17:18 |
| Dumle29 | 3-4 years is where drive failure becomes a real concern if it's regularly used | 17:18 |
| masgushi | yeah..it's regularly used | 17:18 |

| scar | i upgraded to 14.04 LTS and the window manager is different and i'd like to switch back to the one i was using, but not sure what it was called... i could place my mouse in the upper left corner and i would get to see all the windows i had open and switch between apps, anyone know what manager that is? | 17:19 |
| tertiary | I am installing Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a RAID1 (following: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/advanced-installation.html), but I cannot set the bootable flag to on. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? | 17:19 |
| masgushi | TJ-: i noted down some part of the initial acpi pcc probe error at the start.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11788990/ | 17:19 |
| Dumle29 | scar: That's gnome | 17:19 |
| gfodranoel | Hi friends | 17:20 |
| Dumle29 | scar: If you like gnome, there's a specific ubuntu distro using that, ubuntu gnome | 17:20 |
| scar | Dumle29, i tried switching to gnome but it was classic version with the applications menu at the top and window list at the bottom, so it wasn't exactly that... | 17:20 |
| masgushi | TJ-: could not get "error: /dev/sdb : no medium found" | 17:20 |
| TJ- | tertiary: bootable flag where? In an MBR partition table? | 17:21 |
| Dumle29 | scar: I believe it's gnome 3 | 17:21 |
| TJ- | masgushi: not sure about that; looks like something expects to find a device on /dev/sdb | 17:21 |
| masgushi | hmm..ok | 17:21 |
| scar | Dumle29, ok, well the package "gnome" isn't installed so i'll try that | 17:22 |
| tertiary | Yes | 17:22 |
| bonhoeffer | after i run visudo and change settings, ubuntu prompts me to save to a .tmp is this the correct way to go? | 17:22 |
| Dumle29 | scar: I'm running GNOME Shell 3.14.4 | 17:22 |
| tonyyarusso | bonhoeffer: yes | 17:22 |
| bonhoeffer | how does that work tonyyarusso ? | 17:22 |
| bonhoeffer | and how would i use emacs? | 17:23 |
| tmotomm | Hey y'all. I'm trying to move /home to a new partition. I am following the ubuntu guide but I ran into the problem of dir already exists when i tried to create a new directory | 17:23 |
| Dumle29 | scar: Try sudo apt-cache policy gnome-shell | 17:23 |
| scar | Dumle29, not installed | 17:23 |
| Dumle29 | and it's 3.14.4 thats available? | 17:23 |
| tonyyarusso | bonhoeffer: visudo is a wrapper that makes sure you know what you're doing so you don't lock yourself out. It saves to a temp file, then runs syntax checks against that to make sure it's still valid before moving it into the real file location. | 17:23 |
| bonhoeffer | tonyyarusso: oops -- so i overwrote sudoers | 17:24 |
| bonhoeffer | like a fool . . . (why is it asking for temp . . ) | 17:24 |
| bonhoeffer | but it doesn't look like the right change took -- is there a service to restart? | 17:24 |
| scar | Dumle29, i see gnome-shell:i386 3.10.4-0ubuntu5.2 available, but im using 14.04 LTS | 17:24 |
| tonyyarusso | bonhoeffer: If the change was for a user currently logged in, they'd have to log out and back in again I believe. | 17:25 |
| Dumle29 | scar: Ah, I'm using 15.04. I'm not entirely sure if it's as simple as "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" You'd have to ask the others in here :) | 17:25 |
| bonhoeffer | hmm . . . tonyyarusso -- it is for an ssh login | 17:25 |
| bonhoeffer | so that should be working | 17:25 |
| scar | Dumle29, i'm installing "gnome" right now so we'll see if that does it.... | 17:26 |
| Dumle29 | I don't believe I have that installed | 17:26 |
| Dumle29 | nope. I don't | 17:26 |
| flk | what's time | 17:26 |
| Dumle29 | flk: One definition could be: the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another. | 17:27 |
| Dumle29 | scar: http://itsfoss.com/how-to-install-gnome-in-ubuntu-14-04/ | 17:28 |
| Dumle29 | scar: It looks like sudo apt-get install gnome-shell is the best way to go, as it's easily reverseable | 17:28 |
| scar | Dumle29, thanks i'll try that | 17:29 |
| Dumle29 | scar: Might I recomend flat studio dark for gnome? http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=154296 | 17:30 |
| scar | Dumle29, yeah i like dark themes.... how do i install that? | 17:31 |
| Dumle29 | You put the folder in ~.themes/ | 17:32 |
| masgushi | TJ-: how could i view kernel logs? any commands or anything | 17:32 |
| Dumle29 | sorry ~/.themes/ | 17:32 |
| TJ- | masgushi: from a terminal: "ls -latr /var/log/" will list the logs files most-recently-updated last. "less /var/log/<filename>" will let you view and scroll through it (see "man less"). For kernel issues, see "/var/log/dmesg" for just the boot-time messages, and "/var/log/kern.log" for ongoing kernel messages | 17:33 |
| masgushi | ok..thanks | 17:34 |
| noob56kbps | hello i have a problem the pc doesnt want to do apt-get steam it s send an error | 17:35 |

| Dumle29 | noob56kbps: what error? | 17:35 |
| bonhoeffer | tim ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL in sudoers seems wrong | 17:35 |

| joshh20 | tomreyn, hmm, I am using RSA though | 17:42 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: you probably want to use rsa or ecdsa, too | 17:42 |

| azamrod | bazhang: que quieres decir? | 17:44 |

| joshh20 | tomreyn, I only have an RSA key on mu local machine, I am wondering if I messed something up on my server my changing file permissions | 17:45 |
| Dumle29 | That's for spanish, if you can get help in english you are more than welcome here :) | 17:46 |

| Dumle29 | Oh well | 17:46 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: are you using SSH profiles in ~/.ssh/config maybe? | 17:46 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: ...like for the other servers which you can connect to. | 17:46 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I had one set on my local machine, but I just now deleted it and restarted the SSH service | 17:47 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, It doesnt seem to have changed anything | 17:47 |
| rypervenche | Spiderman: If you need any help with anything, please let us know :) | 17:47 |
| azamrod | Dumle29: Thank you | 17:48 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: you don't need to restart (or even start) the ssh service on your ssh client (i assume that's what you refer to as the local machine) to apply changes to the ssh client. | 17:48 |
| azamrod | Dumle29: | 17:48 |
| azamrod | but no one who speaks Spanish | 17:48 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: the ssh service is only for accepting inbound connections TO a system | 17:48 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Ah ok, I wasnt aware of that, on the remote machine that I am connecting to, I just have these files in the .ssh folder "authorized_keys id_ed25519 id_ed25519.pub known_hosts" | 17:49 |
| Spiderman | well, thanks, I am pretty new to all of this :) I'll keep it in mind! | 17:50 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: authorized_keys is the file which should contain your ssh client's ssh public key. | 17:50 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I checked, and authorized_keys does have my public key on the very first line | 17:50 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: the format is 1 key per line, make sure you don't have accidnetial wraps. | 17:51 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Ok I'll clear the file and re add it | 17:51 |
| azamrod | Edu Guadalinex you tried ? | 17:52 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Something is definitely off, when I try to add the key to the remote host, I get permission denied: http://hastebin.com/docipacuni.hs | 17:52 |
| snub23 | Hi, would this be the right place to go if you are looking for help in the search for software? | 17:53 |
| snub23 | yes, i have google | 17:53 |
| azamrod | What country are we talking about ? | 17:54 |
| OerHeks | snub23, for ubuntu, yes | 17:54 |
| SchrodingersScat | snub23: apt-cache search is also very helpful | 17:54 |
| snub23 | cant find what Im looking for | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: this command line may not work since you'll need to login using a password before the key is installed. | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: do it manually | 17:54 |
| tomreyn | or use ssh-copy-id if that's available | 17:55 |
| snub23 | I would like a sandbox where I can open a file and see the changes it makes | 17:55 |
| snub23 | Like getting a log from an install but for hidden changes | 17:55 |
| azamrod | What country are we talking about ? | 17:56 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, on the remote host, when I try to cd into the .ssh folder, I get permission denied | 17:56 |
| stony2 | Can anybody help me find my log files and maybe analyze why my ubuntu server keeps crashing a particular service? | 17:56 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: so you lack permissions to do so. are you root on this system? "ls -l ~/.ssh" (without quotes) shoudl show who owns the directory. | 17:57 |
| OerHeks | azamrod, this channel is ubuntu support in english only. | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: it's also pssible that you have permissions but got them wrong earlier, and forgot to set the x flad on the .ssh directory | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | *flag | 17:58 |
| tomreyn | you'll need that flag set to allow changing into a directory. | 17:58 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: s/changing/entering/ | 17:58 |
| SchrodingersScat | snub23: I know docker.io has docker diff [container] which should show file changes. | 17:58 |
| azamrod | OerHeks: ok , but since the country is supposed to talk ? | 17:59 |
| tomreyn | zykotick9: thanks | 17:59 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I just added the +x flag to the files, and now 'ls -l ~/.ssh" shows this: http://hastebin.com/mudibulaye.avrasm | 18:00 |
| snub23 | SchrodingersScat, Thanks, will check it out! | 18:00 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: i said the .ssh *directory*, not to the *files*. files with +x are executable, you don't want that. | 18:00 |
| OerHeks | !ssh | 18:01 |
| ubottu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 18:01 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: do this instead "ls -la ~/.ssh" and look at the "." entry, this is the very .ssh directory. | 18:01 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: but it's probably better start start from scratch now if you won't loose other configurations that way. | 18:02 |
| OerHeks | you'll need root access on the remote host to add ssh keys | 18:02 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: ahh, i think you need -d for that to work. like "ls -ad ~/.ssh" | 18:02 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Ok yea I mean starting from scratch is fine, here is what the output shows: http://hastebin.com/uzefipafev.hs | 18:02 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: oops, not -ad but -ld | 18:02 |
| tomreyn | right zykotick9 | 18:03 |
| masgushi | tomreyn: my win7 is already set to utc..with time sync from time.windows.com..so now i should do as on that page to set hardware time on windows and then set ubuntu to a manual time? that seems alright? | 18:04 |
| joshh20 | 'ls -ld ~/.ssh' gives me this 'drwx--x--x 2 backups backups 4096 Jun 28 13:58 /home/backups/.ssh' | 18:04 |
| tomreyn | zykotick9: so whoever "mc" is has write access to your home directroy. that's intended? other than that you seem to have repaired things fine. | 18:05 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: ultimately OerHeks is right, though. Unless the server has a default configuration and you don't need to debug things by inspecting the server logs, you'll need root access there. | 18:05 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: sorry, i'm not following, "mc" <- ?? NOTE: i'm only seeing your side of this conversation | 18:05 |
| qu4nt1n | !s john oliver | 18:06 |
| ubottu | qu4nt1n: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:06 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, that was a mistake I made when trying to allow different users to view each others files, I tried removing the 'mc' user from the group, but didn't do it correctly... I also do have root access here | 18:06 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: line 4 of http://hastebin.com/uzefipafev.hs | 18:06 |
| NobCat | anyone fancy helping me out with a LVM2 partition? | 18:06 |
| zykotick9 | tomreyn: ahh, .. is the directory above, so from ~/.ssh it's talking about ~ so that would typically be the user account | 18:07 |
| rypervenche | NobCat: What do you need help with? :) | 18:07 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: on the server, run this to prevent access by 'mc': chown :backup ~ | 18:07 |
| NobCat | hi rypervenche, trying to mount it and i keep getting a "wrong FS type" message | 18:08 |
| NobCat | the fs type is "lvm2_member" | 18:08 |
| rypervenche | NobCat: Can you share what comands you have run with us please? | 18:08 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, wow I think that fixed it | 18:08 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I am able to SSH into it now with the key | 18:09 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: good. it does some sanity checks before allowing you in there | 18:09 |
| TJ- | NobCat: You cannot mount an LVM physical disk | 18:09 |
| NobCat | rypervenche, sure. gimmie a few mins to paste bin it | 18:09 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Ok, I read that somewhere, but my log wasn't very verbose, so I was uncertain the true cause of the problem | 18:09 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: if you reviewed /var/log/auth.log on the server you'd probably find a hint on that | 18:09 |
| NobCat | rypervenche, TJ-, to mount it the command i am using is "mount /dev/vg1/lv1 /mnt" | 18:10 |
| snub23 | SchrodingersScat, Hmm, I provided no details, sorry, I need this to work for any kind of file. Lets say I open a .mp3 that has been tampered with, if so I want to see what it does | 18:10 |
| nszceta | how can I create an automatic installation configuration? | 18:10 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: that'S the server denying the client access, so you'd need to review the servers' logs, not hte clients' | 18:10 |
| NobCat | i have run "lvchange -ay" to make it active | 18:10 |
| nszceta | I set up one computer the way I want and I want to clone this config | 18:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | k, not sure what the difference would be | 18:10 |
| rypervenche | NobCat: That is fine, but either you didn't add a file system to it, or you are trying to mount the incorrect one. | 18:10 |
| TJ- | NobCat: First, you need to bring up the Volume Group with "vgchange -ay" which *should* discover the VG that owns the PV, then you can do "lvdisplay <VG-name>" to display the Logical Volumes, and *then* you can mount them using something like "mount /dev/mapper/<VGname>-<LVname> /path/to/mountpoint" | 18:10 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I did check, I think my logging level isn't 'noisy' enough | 18:11 |
| NobCat | TJ-, done all that | 18:11 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, Anyways, thank you very much for the help, you saved me from having to do an OS reinstall :D | 18:11 |
| NobCat | the filesystem is listed as being "type=lvm2_member" | 18:11 |
| TJ- | NobCat: For /dev/vg1/lv1 ? in that case it sounds like you have a VG inside a VG! | 18:11 |
| tomreyn | joshh20: glad we worked it out. :) good luck. try using ssh-copy-id in the future where possible. it can prevent a lot of common pitfalls of doing it manually. | 18:12 |
| joshh20 | tomreyn, I would, but unfortunately, Mac OS X still doesn't have that, I use it on my Ubuntu servers though | 18:12 |

| NobCat | brb | 18:13 |
| tomreyn | that'll blend in well with my earl grey | 18:13 |
| TJ- | NobCat: alternatively, could 'lv1' be part of an LVM RAID device? | 18:14 |
| TJ- | NobCat: Try "file -s /dev/vg1/lv1" it might give more useful description | 18:15 |

| redstar | Hi guys I'm having a heck of a time getting my wifi working. It's a PC and the WiFi is onboard my Asus Z87 pro motherboard. The wifi chipset is qualcomm atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter, and I've tried everything! | 18:23 |

| allizom | Hi, I asked before about a computer that would not pass the login screen when using the nvidia proprietary driver. I've got it working with nouveau but the machine owner would prefer to use the screen at full resolution, something that nouveau won't do. I've done the following 1) put the nomodeset option in /etc/grub and ran update-grub 2) booted into an older kernel which I believe has worked before with the nvidia dri | 18:29 |
| redstar | MonkeyDust, I've tried all the suggestions there sadly. :( | 18:29 |
| bekks | allizom: How did you install the nvidia driver? | 18:29 |
| allizom | bekks: from the repos. 14.04 32 bits | 18:30 |
| Remoboth | FUckkk. | 18:30 |
| Remoboth | I can't get Ubuntu to create thumbnails for .cbz files in Thunar. | 18:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Remoboth no such words here | 18:30 |
| redstar | BRB rebooting | 18:30 |
| bennypr0fane | Hi I have a strange situation: Wlan stopped working on my laptop. It used to work perfectly, I have no idea what happened. proprietary sta driver is in use for Broadcom chip. When I installed Xubuntu 14.04, the STA driver was loaded automatically and it worked out of the box | 18:31 |
| allizom | then I rebooted into the same older kernel (with nomodeset) but the issue is still there. bekks: I installed it with sudo apt-get install nvidia-current from tty1 | 18:35 |
| buzz_ | benny i assume you don't have an ethernet cable connected? | 18:35 |
| bennypr0fane | buzz_, I do, otherwise I couldn't be online right now | 18:40 |
| bennypr0fane | why you asking? | 18:40 |
| bennypr0fane | wifi wasn't working before I connected the ethernet, if that's what you mean | 18:40 |
| MonkeyDust | bennypr0fane maybe you were online with another pc, using the cable... | 18:45 |
| bennypr0fane | MonkeyDust, I understand. How would that affect the wlan functionality of this pc? | 18:47 |
| bennypr0fane | MonkeyDust, * I DON'T understand, sorry | 18:48 |
| bennypr0fane | Is it generally possible that a new kernel version would break the wifi even though the proprietary driver was in use? | 18:49 |
| bennypr0fane | need to reboot, brb | 18:50 |
| geirha | yes, and you can test that theory by booting the previous kernel | 18:50 |
| tomreyn | i guess his reboot got in the way there | 18:52 |
| tomreyn | maybe he predicted your answer, though | 18:52 |
| allizom | Here's my Xorg.0.log in case it is useful. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11789452/ | 18:55 |
| geirha | bennypr0fane: you rebooted to try the previous kernel? | 18:56 |
| bennypr0fane | ok, my wlan came back on | 18:56 |
| bennypr0fane | geirha, no, to finish updating the system | 18:56 |
| bennypr0fane | it seems the update actually fixed it | 18:57 |
| bennypr0fane | it came back on while installing packages | 18:57 |
| apb1963 | My printer won't print anymore. It leaves job in the pending state. Any ideas? Ubuntu 14.04 with KDE | 18:57 |
| bennypr0fane | apb1963, are you managing it with cups? | 18:58 |
| apb1963 | bennypr0fane: yes | 18:58 |
| bennypr0fane | apb1963, ok, then you're already doing what I would have advised... | 19:01 |

| === N is now known as Guest18447 | ||
| bodhi_zazen | sudo dkms build -m package_name | 19:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo dkms install -m package_name | 19:20 |
| vlt | bodhi_zazen: Thank you. | 19:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | np | 19:22 |
| vlt | # dkms build -m dahdi-dkms | 19:23 |
| vlt | Error! Invalid number of arguments passed. | 19:23 |

| bodhi_zazen | sudo dkms build -m example -v 1.1 | 19:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | man dkms from there ;) | 19:26 |
| TJ- | If you use "sudo dkms install -m $PACKAGE -v $PACKAGE_VERSION -k all" it'll build and install for all installed kernel versions at one go | 19:27 |

| TJ- | vlt: when a dkms source package is installed it goes to /usr/src/${PACKAGE}-${PACKAGE_VERSION}/ | 19:29 |
| TJ- | vlt: So in case there are different versions of the same package dkms needs to know which version of the package (sorry, module) to use | 19:29 |
| TJ- | vlt: I mixed my terms... in dkms -m $MODULE -v $MODULE_VERSION replace those at will :) | 19:30 |

| dadis | i feel like an idiot can someone help me forward a port | 20:00 |
| dadis | i only have options to forward to ipv6 addresses | 20:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | darkelfjuggalo, top | 20:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | dadis, depends on your router | 20:01 |
| dadis | bodhi_zazen, its an Airport Extreme | 20:02 |
| darkelfjuggalo | bodhi_zazen, pardon? | 20:02 |
| dadis | i have really good internet so maybe the ISP doesn't masquerade and i don't need forwarding? | 20:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | darkelfjuggalo, run top in a termina; | 20:02 |

| darkelfjuggalo | ok so, im confused by what is in my 'top'... it doesn't appear that my ram is maxxed out, but my fan is working overtime, only when im logged into the desktop... if i am on the login screen, it's calm and quiet...any idea what would cause it to rev that high? | 20:21 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: that doesnt have to do aynthing with ram usage. | 20:22 |
| k1l_ | !ram | darkelfjuggalo | 20:22 |
| ubottu | darkelfjuggalo: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 20:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | darkelfjuggalo, what makes you think your fan is related to ram, more likely related to cpu or gpu use | 20:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | free -m | pastebinit | 20:22 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I know what ram is, but my experience has always shown the more that is running the higher my fan revs to compensate for the extra heat being generated | 20:23 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: ram doesnt make that much heat. its about the cpu and gpu that make the heat so the fan will spin | 20:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | +1 | 20:24 |
| EriC^^ | darkelfjuggalo: i think the fan rev would be a function of cpu load | 20:24 |
| bekks | darkelfjuggalo: "the more is running" means a higher CPU load, which leads to a higher temperature, which leads to your fans rotating faster. RAM is irrelevant at that opint. | 20:24 |
| bekks | *point | 20:24 |
| Koyaanis | I just broke linux | 20:24 |
| Koyaanis | well | 20:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | Koyaanis, best think about opensource, when you break it you get to keep both pieces | 20:25 |
| Nytram | darkelfjuggalo, If you have less than 4gb RAM try increasing your SWAP | 20:25 |
| bekks | Nytram: which will not help in lowering the fan rotation at all. | 20:25 |
| darkelfjuggalo | how do i increase the swap? will the swap increase stop the fact that everything keeps greying out and non responsive | 20:26 |
| bodhi_zazen | +1 bekks | 20:26 |
| Nytram | It did for me | 20:26 |
| bekks | Nytram: It technically cant. | 20:26 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: what machine is that? what cpu? how much ram? what does "free -m show (put in a pastebin please)? what ubuntu is it? what desktop? | 20:26 |
| Nytram | OK! Stay there. I did it. Not prepared to explain further. It just worked. | 20:27 |
| zykotick9 | darkelfjuggalo: in top, it shows load in the top right corner, what is the first number? | 20:27 |
| yuciyuar | hi. with nautilus, when u right click to i.e sd card, there is an option, format, if u unmount card first. when click format, it asks for how to format, but when select format options and click ok, it doesnt do anything, any solution for this? ubuntu 14.04 | 20:27 |
| darkelfjuggalo | Load average is ranging 0.49-0.65 | 20:27 |
| bodhi_zazen | unmount it first =O0 | 20:27 |
| nurfee | yuciyuar: Coulple of gui aps and the terminal. | 20:28 |
| zykotick9 | darkelfjuggalo: that would indicate your CPU/IO is NOT particularly high! | 20:28 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> darkelfjuggalo: what machine is that? what cpu? how much ram? what does "free -m show (put in a pastebin please)? what ubuntu is it? what | 20:28 |
| darkelfjuggalo | k1l_ im woring on that | 20:29 |
| yuciyuar | nurfee, cant we do this as simple as windows os, which seems there already a format button on nautilus file manager | 20:29 |
| yuciyuar | ? | 20:29 |
| Jakethepython | waht is teh benefit of a domain over a workgroup? and visa versa? | 20:29 |
| yuciyuar | but doesnt work | 20:30 |
| bekks | Jakethepython: Thats a particular windows question. | 20:30 |
| darkelfjuggalo | where do i find the CPU and RAM? i thought details, but no | 20:30 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: "lshw" | 20:30 |
| Jakethepython | yes...i am setting up a network that must have windows and linux machines... | 20:30 |
| nurfee | yuciyuar: I would just install gparted, it is very similar to the windows partition manager. | 20:30 |
| Jakethepython | and i knwo that they are completely differne things | 20:31 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: is it a laptop? | 20:31 |
| Jakethepython | i am just trying to figure out which one i should set up | 20:31 |
| bekks | Jakethepython: And "domain" and "workgroup" are windows issues :) | 20:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | for memory use free -m | 20:31 |
| zykotick9 | for cpu you can use "lscpu" | 20:31 |
| Jakethepython | ok...what are they called in linux ::) | 20:31 |
| bekks | Jakethepython: There are no such things in Linux. | 20:31 |
| nurfee | yuciyuar: Not exactly what you want, others may have that answer is all, I don't, sorry. | 20:31 |
| yuciyuar | i was curious about nautilus option, but seems dont know anyone here, thnx anyway nurfee | 20:32 |
| nurfee | yuciyuar: No problem, personally I want more control than the right click make a partition, I have a habit of making new partiotion tables a s well. | 20:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | cpu load : top -bn1 | grep "Cpu(s)" | sed "s/.*, *\([0-9.]*\)%* id.*/\1/" | awk '{print 100 - $1"%"}' | 20:33 |

| nurfee | Jakethepython: Curious, is this a educational project? | 20:35 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: ok, you already have a swap. but its not used because you only use ~1GB of your 8GB ram. | 20:35 |
| Jakethepython | not really..what i am doing is i have a storage server running ubuntu..and i want to set up partitions so that all of my computers map to this..but only allow certain permissions to vertain computers/users | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | darkelfjuggalo: its a i7 cpu in a toshiba laptop. so that might be the reason for the fan to spin often | 20:36 |
| DX099 | kirkland: hi. I'm trying to recover an ubuntu encrypted home from an Arch system. I'm using the ecryptfs-recover-private utility. It finds the encrypted home, I provide the good passphrase, but the mounting fails : "ERROR: Failed to mount private data at [/tmp/ecryptfs.whateverrandom]." | 20:36 |
| DX099 | could you help me, | 20:36 |
| DX099 | s/,/? | 20:36 |
| darkelfjuggalo | can i fix it internally or is it a hardware issue? | 20:36 |
| zykotick9 | DX099: unhelpful-sidenote-for-future, I'd strongly suggest using LUKS over "encrypted home" in future... YMMV. good luck. | 20:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | DX099, probably nothing you can do to recover | 20:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | +1 to LUKS | 20:38 |
| DX099 | zykotick9, bodhi_zazen, I have the good passphrase and the data are there | 20:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am sure the data is there, the problem is it is encrypted | 20:39 |
| DX099 | I have both the LOGIN and the unwrapped passphrase | 20:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | I would try decryting from ubuntu in the unlikely event there is some difference with the arch packages | 20:39 |
| zykotick9 | DX099: sorry, i have close to zero experience with "encrypted home" i'm NO help. (/me just knows it breaks hibernation by default, so he doesn't use it) good luck. | 20:40 |
| DX099 | bodhi_zazen: in fact, the Ubuntu install is still there and works perfectly | 20:40 |
| DX099 | I would like to be able to mount the encrypted home from Arch without having to move all the files | 20:40 |
| TJ- | DX099: It sounds more like an issue with the /tmp/ filesystem where the mountpoint is being created | 20:41 |
| DX099 | TJ-: yes it could be... Space ? | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | DX099: try with sudo maybe as a test | 20:41 |
| DX099 | EriC^^: that utility won't run unless with sudo anyway | 20:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | File a bug with arch ? | 20:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | DX099: can you choose where to mount it? | 20:41 |
| darkelfjuggalo | I've been working on installing lubuntu to a netbook, but the usb loads console not the installer[windows desktop reads the thumb drive as lubuntu installer] i have asked lubuntu channel and gotten no where | 20:42 |
| DX099 | EriC^^: If I tweak the script of the utility, certainly | 20:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | I would use LUKS rather then ecrpytfs for this DX099 | 20:42 |
| bijan_ | Just did an apt-get install mysql-server-5.6 and it quits with this error: invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-5.6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 20:42 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: What usb loader was used? | 20:43 |
| TJ- | DX099: I've dealt with ecryptfs recovery many times, and you sound like you've done everything correctly. It's unwrapping so it's found /home/.ecryptfs/$USER/.ecryptfs/ and the user's wrapped-passphrase | 20:43 |
| DX099 | bodhi_zazen: yeah I know, but when considering the options, I recall having a problem with LUKS about partition | 20:43 |
| bijan_ | On a fresh box! | 20:43 |
| DX099 | TJ-: Yeah, the problem looks like it's typîcally a mount failure "ERROR: Failed to mount private data at [/tmp/ecryptfs.xxx]." | 20:43 |
| bijan_ | shouldn't mysql run out of the box without problems on an LTS version? | 20:43 |
| TJ- | DX099: If you know the tool, I'd be tempted to run the script under strace, with "strace -f -e trace=file ecryptfs-recover-private" and see if it reveals the cause of the mount failure | 20:44 |
| darkelfjuggalo | nurfee; i dont know can you explain where to find the usb loader information? | 20:44 |
| EriC^^ | DX099: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering_Your_Data_Manually | 20:44 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: So, we can assume you are not familiar with loading an iso to a usb, per a gui app or the terminal? | 20:45 |
| darkelfjuggalo | i used unetbootin, sorry | 20:46 |
| DX099 | TJ-: I've done EXACTLY that, no usefull intel came out. But I'll try with -f | 20:46 |
| darkelfjuggalo | unetbootin is what i have always used | 20:46 |
| TJ- | DX099: "-f' follows any child processes, which you'll need when executing a script | 20:46 |
| DX099 | EriC^^: I'm reading that, that's where I found out those commands to begin wit but thanks | 20:46 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: Ah, thought so it has this issue, use another there are handfuls to choose from. What OS are you doing the usb load in? | 20:46 |
| * zykotick9 thinks unetbootin should _ONLY_ be used, as a last resort... <- with hybrid ISOs like ubuntu/debian | 20:47 | |
| DX099 | TJ-: yes, since mount is being called by the script, it makes sense | 20:47 |
| darkelfjuggalo | win 8, i was trying on my ubuntu 14.04, but unetbootin's inux version was still downloading as an exe | 20:47 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: Two mistakes, never use unetbootins downloads, or anything more than a last resort, as another commented thay have not really kept up with the hybrid iso's | 20:48 |
| darkelfjuggalo | ok so what should I use? is there no whay to tell the console to run the installer from the initramfs command line available? | 20:50 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: Few choices here, try another, check the md5sum in there two, and be sure your up on UEFI if it is there. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ | 20:50 |
| mac33 | hi to everyone | 20:50 |
| Jo5h- | Doh I think I answered my own question | 20:50 |
| Jo5h- | I need your advise here | 20:50 |
| mac33 | Has somebody had a problem with firefox 38 (running with ubuntu 15.04) while listenig sounds (flash plug-in).....I cannot hear any sounds (es. web radio, google traslator) | 20:50 |
| nurfee | darkelfjuggalo: People have gotten past the error, however personally I just find tools that plug and work. | 20:51 |
| zykotick9 | darkelfjuggalo: fyi, from gnu/linux (and with ubuntu/debian ISOs) you can use "sudo cp foo.iso /dev/sdX" <- where sdX is sdb,sdc,etc and WITHOUT a partition number! then run "sudo sync" after it finishes. | 20:51 |
| TJ- | DX099: the command that fails and issues that error is: "mount -i -t ecryptfs -o "$mount_opts" "$d" "$tmpdir" " | 20:51 |
| Jo5h- | I have a few Windows XP era machines I am fixing.... Need new OS... I originally thought to put XP on them... then thought, no, Win2k is rock solid and I loved it.. THOUGH, the nI thought about Ubuntu?? 12.04 specifically... drivers may be an issue and they would be used as fileservers/dev web servers / cron server rsync crap .... | 20:52 |
| nurfee | mac33: You get the flash update lately, most like so. | 20:52 |
| Jo5h- | also I can terminal into the machines :) What would you guys do?? | 20:52 |
| DX099 | TJ-: tsk, I can see where mount is failing with F, but I can't get the reason | 20:52 |
| Fyxi | http://s3.postimg.org/vbmjbumvn/wat.png | 20:52 |
| Fyxi | how this icon and gui is called? | 20:52 |

| nurfee | Jo5h-: Tons of tiny linux and server setups, do the research, hardware there is the key. | 20:53 |
| DX099 | TJ-: yes, it's loaded | 20:54 |
| tarari | mujeres todas a mi | 20:54 |
| TJ- | DX099: don't be fooled by the failure being a missing mountpoint - any failure by mount will show that issue. Does the strace show in detail what mount is doing when it fails? mayve you could pastebin the last 50 lines of the strace? | 20:54 |
| nurfee | mac33: Sound works everywhere else? I doubt I can really help, just wondering. | 20:54 |
| TJ- | DX099: do you have the /sbin/mount.ecryptfs | 20:54 |

| DX099 | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11789990/ | 20:57 |
| mac33 | nurfee: sound system is OK. But with an update from firefox 37 to 38 I cannot hear any sounds with some website (like web radios or google sound traslator) | 20:57 |
| DX099 | TJ-: the mount utility is being found. You can see the mount process starting in the log | 20:57 |
| TJ- | DX099: line 33 | 20:58 |
| nurfee | mac33: Any errors you could share? you have flash running if needed, no filtering? Have you ran firefox with all addons off? | 20:58 |
| TJ- | DX099: The only thing I see there that makes me wonder, is that you're running the command from the .Private directory... have you tried running it from the parent directory instead? | 20:59 |
| mac33 | this is strange...... cause I don't get any error but no sounds.....and I also tried to switch off any other add-os or plug-in but flash | 21:00 |
| zykotick9 | mac33: do you have more then one audio device on your system? "cat /proc/asound/cards" is card0 the one you want to be using with firefox? <- i've personally run into an issue if my desired audio device is NOT card0 with firefox. best of luck. | 21:00 |
| mac33 | nurfee: this is strange...... cause I don't get any error but no sounds.....and I also tried to switch off any other add-os or plug-in but flash | 21:00 |
| DX099 | TJ-: I will but this is disingenuous as the script looks for the .ecryptfs dir in ../ . This makes me want to be in .Private so that I can unwrapp with LOGIN | 21:00 |

| mac33 | zykotick9: ok let me check | 21:03 |
| TJ- | DX099: Hmmm, that's a good point. It was the only thing I could see. OK do the strace -f once more but don't add "-e trace=file" - capture *everything* and you'd best feed it to a log-file!!! "strace -f ecryptfs-recover-private |& tee /tmp/ecryptfs.log" | 21:03 |
| darkelfjuggalo | so while i am working on that, can anyone tell me what would periodically freeze my applications from start up.. so freeze and crash, some freeze and come back... this chat does it every 2 to 3 minutes | 21:04 |

| bodhi_zazen | darkelfjuggalo, crappy graphics or wireless drivers | 21:05 |
| AceKing | I just completed a manual install of Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit onto my PC. I have it dual booting with Windows 7. For some reason I cannot boot into the grub menu. It will only boot into Windows 7. I can boot into Ubuntu if I use "Super Grub Disk" and find any OS. I tried running sudo grub-install /dev/sda but still cannot boot into grub. Any help is much appreciated | 21:05 |
| darkelfjuggalo | how can i check the driver versions and/or update them? | 21:06 |
| nurfee | AceKing: You in ubuntu now? | 21:06 |
| bodhi_zazen | AceKing, secect which os to boot in your bios | 21:06 |

| AceKing | nurfee: yes | 21:06 |
| nurfee | AceKing: Cool, you have good help, carry on. | 21:07 |
| AceKing | bodhi_zazen: I tried that. Old BIOS, doesn't have that option | 21:07 |
| MrNiceGuyKB | hi. I'm running windows 7 and ubuntu 14.04. I want to install windows 8. is there anything I should do before running the win 8 install? | 21:08 |

| nurfee | MrNiceGuyKB: This a msdos W7 setup? | 21:08 |
| AceKing | nurfee: did you have any ideas other than the BIOS? | 21:08 |
| lixunero | windows is a better operating system | 21:08 |
| MrNiceGuyKB | yeah, backup is done. | 21:09 |
| MrNiceGuyKB | nurfee, I don't understand | 21:09 |
| Guest90976 | just formatted a 1tb drive that had debian 8 jessie and replaced it with Xubuntu (which loads great) now grub goes to grub rescue, but I have windows 10 and elementary os on two other drives, how can I get back into either of the two oses | 21:09 |
| nurfee | AceKing: pastebin sudo fdisk -l helps to see HD info | 21:09 |
| === Guest90976 is now known as ___Mike___ | ||
| MrNiceGuyKB | I just want to make sure win8 won't completely ruin my ubuntu install | 21:10 |
| === ___Mike___ is now known as Grubthumped | ||
| nurfee | MrNiceGuyKB: Ah, msdos is the standard set up (windows) till we got to UEFI and gpt with W8. W8 will install in the standard setup with no issues. | 21:11 |
| AceKing | nurfee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11790055/ | 21:11 |
| MrNiceGuyKB | nurfee, so windows 8 installer shouldn't damage anything, right? | 21:11 |
| Grubthumped | i am downloading grub repair iso and going to burn to cd to try to repair the boot loader | 21:12 |
| Grubthumped | is that the best thing to do? | 21:12 |
| nurfee | AceKing: Try putting grub in the linux HD shows as sdb here and boot with the HD, unless this is a slave issue. | 21:12 |
| OerHeks | MrNiceGuyKB, sure windows 8 installer ruins your mbr, you have to fix that later | 21:12 |
| nurfee | MrNiceGuyKB: Your asking for confirmation no one can truly make, back it all up no matter what always. To many varibles bro. | 21:13 |
| MrNiceGuyKB | yeah I know. well, I'm going to give ti a try. thanks anyway! :) | 21:13 |
| AceKing | nurfee: OK, so I would just use this command sudo grub-install /dev/sdb am I right.. Just want to make sure before I do it | 21:14 |
| allizom | could anybody take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11789452/ (Xorg.0.log) and see whether there is anything that could prevent starting a graphical login? I see a black screen after logging in, for all users. Using nvidia-current driver | 21:14 |
| nurfee | AceKing: One thing first, you have 4 linux partitons can you lay out whats there. | 21:14 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: Single hard drive, not a problem with boot-repair, multi-disks, then if not carful grub gets installed on all drives, may not be what you want ? | 21:14 |
| Grubthumped | bashing-om I have 5 drives, one has windows 10, one has elementary, one had debian 8 | 21:15 |
| Grubthumped | unplugged other drives except the debian and installed Xubuntu, which loads fine, but if I choose the regular drive where grub loaded from it goes to grub rescue | 21:16 |
| AceKing | nurfee: sda1 is my Windows partition, and sda2 is my Ubuntu partition | 21:16 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: Boot-repair -> advanced options . and be careful ! ( I am the more comfortable manually installing grub where it is required ) . | 21:16 |
| nurfee | AceKing: Really it may be that sdb is being read first and has the widows boot, have we been able to choose from either HD to boot first, seems not? | 21:17 |
| Grubthumped | what is the best suggestion If I have all 3 oses? | 21:17 |
| Grubthumped | Elementary OS, Windows 10, and now Xubuntu | 21:17 |
| Grubthumped | all on different drives | 21:17 |
| Grubthumped | and 2 other storage drives, which for some reason Xubuntu don't see :-( | 21:18 |
| Grubthumped | brb | 21:18 |
| AceKing | nurfee: It's kind of odd, because I only have one other HD attached, and it's just a storage drive. I just looked at it to make sure that it wasn't overwritten. It only has one partition. | 21:18 |
| nurfee | AceKing: unplug it and run the fdisk -l command again and try a boot as well. | 21:19 |
| nurfee | AceKing: I don't think loading a boot at this point is needed, just getting to the HD to boot it. | 21:20 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: From a liveDVD of ubuntu ; ' sudo parted -l ; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt /dev/sda ; sudo umount /mnt ' // where sda is the target, change as required . reboot, change bios to boot the correct drive . | 21:20 |
| AceKing | nurfee: OK, I will give it a shot... Thank you | 21:20 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: Wait ^^ Windows 10 is EFI . The above is for a MBR install .. hang on . | 21:22 |
| tomreyn | allizom: your kernel is a little out of date. but other than that - nothing obviously wrong | 21:22 |
| === owner_ is now known as Guest87013 | ||
| allizom | tomreyn: I tried an older kernel on purpose, to check whether there was an incompatibility with the latest one | 21:23 |
| tomreyn | allizom: check Xorg.*.log, too - the problem could be with a different display | 21:23 |
| TJ- | DX099: I've tested here and I can mount an ecryptfs manually quite easily in 2 steps | 21:23 |
| DX099 | TJ-: ok, must be something specific, I'll try manually | 21:23 |
| tomreyn | allizom: so you did not make any changes to your video stack and the problem started just due to installing updates? | 21:24 |
| allizom | tomreyn: thanks for the suggestion, I will collect them all | 21:24 |
| === owner__ is now known as Guest95523 | ||
| allizom | It's not my computer, they told me so though | 21:24 |
| TJ- | DX099: "sudo ecryptfs --fnek" ... and capture the second token's 'sig' | 21:24 |
| nurfee | allizom: Have you tried running the drivers bfrom the additional drivers, rather tha propietary, which are not supported here? | 21:25 |
| DX099 | TJ-: I don't have the "ecryptfs" command | 21:25 |
| TJ- | DX099: then "sudo mount -t ecryptfs /path/to/.Private /path/to/mountpoint" ... and accept default answers except for encrypted filenames, which should be YES, then provide the captured sig when asked, don't worry about the mount warnings (answer yes), don't cache the sig (answer no) | 21:26 |
| DX099 | TJ-: ok | 21:26 |
| allizom | nurfee: I don't understand what you mean, I installed the nvidia driver from the official repositories | 21:26 |
| TJ- | DX099: "sudo ecryptfs-add-passphrase --fnek" ... and capture the second token's 'sig' --- sorry about the typo | 21:26 |
| DX099 | TJ-: that I have ^^ | 21:26 |
| nurfee | allizom: Ah, you have been saying propietery is all, as if from nvidia is all. | 21:27 |
| OerHeks | allizom, what nvidia videocard is that? lspci | grep VGA | 21:27 |
| tomreyn | nurfee: this statement is misleading since those available on the "additional drivers" UI can be proprietary as well. | 21:27 |
| DX099 | TJ-: so this is the 32 chars alphanumerical passphrase? | 21:27 |
| allizom | OerHeks: it's a Geforce 7300 LE | 21:28 |
| nurfee | tomreyn: Yes, it seems that detail is generally left out. | 21:28 |
| lixunero | what? | 21:28 |
| TJ- | DX099: no, it's a 16 hex chars (8 bytes) sig value reported by ecryptfs-add-passphrase | 21:28 |
| DX099 | TJ-: OK, but the passphrase I had to enter was indeed the 32 hex char unwrapped passphrase | 21:29 |

| moonlander | do the 850 evo drives still have issues with the firmware on linux? thinking about getting one | 21:31 |

| nurfee | we do have the greek chorus of the regular IT users however | 21:34 |

| nurfee | sixunhuit: You done any hard shutdown? | 21:49 |
| OerHeks | run memtest86 from grubmenu | 21:49 |
| kostkon | eXistenZe, there is also the wine ppa (click download on winehq) and the bleeding wine-staging compholio ppa http://www.webupd8.org/2015/06/get-new-wine-features-faster-with-wine.html | 21:49 |
| sixunhuit | yep. | 21:50 |

| kostkon | eXistenZe, np | 21:55 |
| eXistenZe | which one do you recomend kostkon? | 21:55 |
| kostkon | eXistenZe, well, compholio's bleeding edge but the wine ppa always offers the latest version and should be good enough in most use cases | 21:56 |
| eXistenZe | the staging ppa? | 21:56 |
| nurfee | sixunhuit: I would be sure that is the correct command, if you have a desktop try using the standard reboot. Know the REISUB command for a soft restart. Any hard shutdown can be an issue, not often but it does happen. | 21:56 |
| kostkon | eXistenZe, by wine ppa i mean the official ppa from winehq | 21:58 |
| sixunhuit | nurfee: Sorry, typo, Meant to say I use $sudo reboot and the reboot icon. They both cause the same problem (70% of time). | 21:58 |
| eXistenZe | can't find it... just the deb packages | 21:58 |
| eXistenZe | winehq.org has tons of 404s | 21:59 |
| kostkon | eXistenZe, well the alternative command line instructions on this page https://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu | 21:59 |

| cordyceps | FYI: if trying to start firefox fails with error: "/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: Timer expired Couldn't load XPCOM" AND you have Sophos installed, try disabling it like this "sudo /opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl disable" | 22:55 |
| NobCat | TJ- this is encypted :/ | 22:56 |
| NobCat | bad times | 22:57 |
| TJ- | NobCat: if so, and blkid didn't report it as a LUKS volume it may be LUKS with a detached header, or it could be plain dm-crypt, or something else entirely. Do you have access to that info? | 22:58 |
| NobCat | no | 22:59 |
| Grubthumped | no, just installed windows 10 first | 22:59 |
| Grubthumped | then installed elementary os later, then I installed debian 8 | 22:59 |
| Grubthumped | the grub2 bootloader was all on the same drive as elementary | 22:59 |
| Grubthumped | it came up with a menu that I could go to any of the 3 oses | 23:00 |
| Grubthumped | but I unplugged all the drives but the debian drive hoping that it would not mess with grub and it did...LOL | 23:00 |
| mojtaba | Do you know how can I backup and zip my home directory using rsync? mean zip it on the fly and back it up using rsync. I just want to keep one version of the home directory | 23:00 |
| Grubthumped | and I installed Xubuntu on the debian drive | 23:00 |
| MACscr | what do you guys typically set your console resolution to? 640x480 is just to low which i think is default | 23:00 |
| TJ- | NobCat: Try "sudo cryptsetup -v isLuks /dev/vg1/lv1" ... if its LUKs you'll get "Command succesful.", if not, "... is not a valid LUKS device." | 23:01 |
| TJ- | Grubthumped: With UEFI there is only one boot loader partition, the EFI System partition, where boot-loaders for all OSes reside. Sounds like you've removed that | 23:02 |
| Lord-Arhemadan | Howdy! Anyone have experience with an ASUS g75vx? This UEFI stuff is driving me crazy >_< | 23:03 |
| TJ- | MACscr: which console, the VTs? | 23:03 |
| Grubthumped | how can i fix it...?? | 23:04 |
| NobCat | k | 23:04 |
| Grubthumped | I am on an older motherboard, no EUFI | 23:04 |
| chuks | Hello buddies | 23:04 |
| Grubthumped | its an 2007 gigabyte Q6600 quad | 23:05 |
| NobCat | TJ- not a valid LUKS | 23:05 |
| TJ- | NobCat: not much you can do | 23:05 |
| Grubthumped | should I try the boot repair disk I made | 23:05 |
| Grubthumped | its from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 23:06 |
| Grubthumped | should I keep all drives connected or unplug this drive? | 23:06 |
| tomreyn | mojtaba: rsync doesn't compress / archive, it just copies / syncs from one location to another. | 23:06 |
| mojtaba | tomreyn: Is there anyway to pipe files to zip command before rsync? or sth like that? | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | mojtaba: you could create a tar archive, compressed or not, or stick with rsync if you don'tmind recreating the same directory structure eleswehre | 23:07 |
| TJ- | Grubthumped: I can't say I've not been following your issue closely enough. I thought I saw Bashing-om say it was a UEFI/GTP install | 23:08 |
| Grubthumped | uh, sorry, not its win 10, elementary, and debian, and all worked great | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | mojtaba: what's your prupose in compressing the files. | 23:08 |
| tomreyn | ? | 23:08 |
| mojtaba | tomreyn: I just want to save space | 23:09 |
| Grubthumped | then I unplugged all drives but the debian drive and installed Xubuntu (erased debian completely) and then tried to boot from the same drive that grub used to work from and it drops me at the grub rescue prompt :-) | 23:09 |
| tomreyn | mojtaba: and you're happy to spend time and cpu cycles instead? then compressed tar would be the way to go. | 23:09 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: TJ- Probable I jumped the conclusion when I was aware that Win 10 was in this picture . MBR install on all drives ? | 23:10 |
| OerHeks | mojtaba, http://askubuntu.com/questions/550735/lossless-compression-using-rsync | 23:10 |
| Grubthumped | should I try the boot-repair disk? | 23:10 |
| Grubthumped | will that put a grub2 section back on the elementary drive..? | 23:11 |
| tomreyn | OerHeks: this (-z) just compresses during transfer, thouzgh, i don't think that's what mojtaba is looking for | 23:11 |
| MACscr | TJ-: yes | 23:14 |
| Bashing-om | grubles: Yes, boot-repair will install grub to all/any drive. It is a wonderful tool, but like any others can cause problems when miss applied . | 23:15 |
| TJ- | MACscr: mine are at 1920x1200 ... btw... did you solve your udevd net if rename issue? | 23:15 |
| MACscr | TJ-: yep, i thought i told ya what it was | 23:16 |
| MACscr | i had to specify driver="*?" | 23:16 |
| MACscr | or somethign like that | 23:16 |
| TJ- | MACscr: I mised it, was probably away. Yeah, that makes sense, that stops rules touching devices that have already been configured | 23:17 |

| Grubthumped | Learning more and more about Linux everyday and loving it :-) | 23:30 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: ^^ If you have not already done so, boot to what is your primary linux install and ' sudo update-grub ' . | 23:30 |
| lixunero | bollullera, how do you say spanish? | 23:30 |

| Grubthumped | I can now also see all my drives in Xubuntu, that rocks! | 23:32 |
| Grubthumped | Xubuntu is really fast... | 23:33 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: Great, just keep in mind what OS you want as the 'primary' only one operating system per hard drive controls the boot process . | 23:34 |
| Grubthumped | I really like the customizabiltiy | 23:34 |
| lixunero | y una cosa bollullera, si hablas español, te recomendaria que entrases en " /just #ubuntu-es " (sin las comillas) para entrar en el soporte de ubuntu o en /just #ubuntu-es-cafe para hablar con la comunidad | 23:34 |

| Grubthumped | so looking at distrowatch, I found Xubuntu... and wow | 23:39 |
| nomic | is a solid distribution | 23:40 |
| illuminated | what is /etc/apt/sources.list.d for? | 23:40 |
| illuminated | are these for 'added' repositories not included in the base repo list? | 23:41 |
| lixunero | Ubuntu is good distribution!! | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | Grubthumped: Getting away from support .. for discussion /join #ubuntu-offtopic . | 23:41 |
| lixunero | based in software libre | 23:41 |
| Grubthumped | oh, thanks Bashing-om, thanks for all your help :-) | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | illuminated: Correct, you have the right of it ; 3rd party software generally . | 23:42 |
| JPRude | Hey gang! I have a quick question if anyone has the time for me. I'm trying to install ubuntu besides windows 7. I had a previous install that stopped mounting so I deleted the partition and merged it with the windows partition again. Now when I try to install it again, it defaults to trying to install it to the recovery partition. I'm having trou | 23:42 |
| JPRude | ble using the partition manager to install it to the C drive alongside windows. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks so much in advance for any help that comes my way. | 23:42 |
| illuminated | Bashing-om, ok thanks. I'm rtfming and it mentions that directory but it was empty for me. So I was wondering if this was for 3rd party repos not contained within the base list. | 23:43 |
| Bashing-om | JPRude: MBR partition scheme can only have 4 primary partitions to the hard drive. How many partitions does Windows now utilize ? | 23:43 |
| mtn_ | JPRude, shrink your windows partition using windows, then install linux to the free space | 23:43 |
| Bashing-om | illuminated: :) Reading is GooD . | 23:44 |
| JPRude | currently have 3 partitions. The main one, recovery and the 100mb boot partition | 23:44 |
| JPRude | will try that mtn_ thanks for the tip | 23:45 |
| grubles | Bashing-om ???? i think you got my nick mixed up | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | grubles: Yeah, sorry about that inadverdant highlight . apologies . | 23:49 |
| jaden | hey | 23:54 |
