[00:06] anyone have any suggestions as to why openvpn will not be logging to syslog? [00:12] 有人知道在控制台下编写c语言的时候，会自动提示下一个符号，比如：“（”输出之后，会自动补齐“）” [00:13] 有人在嘛？ [00:13] is anybody here? [00:13] use english as this is the english channel [00:13] for english press #1 [00:14] Hi shuaizi [00:23] Hello, how can I tell if a command requires sudo? [00:23] it will tell you if it requires sudo [00:24] Thanks [00:24] Guest19824: If the command is going to act on /home, don't; If it is going to act on a system file, do . [00:24] Well, I want to use swappoff -a [00:24] I put the command in, but it gave no indication it did anything [00:25] No errors or anything [00:25] Guest19824: that command will change your life.... wait till you learn swapon that will improve your life [00:26] I am working in a live machine trying to move a sensitive file over. I was told to use swapoff -a to prevent it using swap [00:26] Guest19824: That above is a system call, do use 'sudo' . In linux when a command completes successfully there is no return . The system just does as it is told and no back talk . [00:26] Bashing-om, I didn't use sudo, just swapoff -a and it gave no back talk... [00:26] Does that mean it worked? [00:27] To make a good read of code,how can I change .bashrc that can auto plus TAB when needed? [00:27] how [00:27] how? [00:27] Or does it give no back talk if it also doesn't work? [00:28] Guest19824: Humm .. I would assume it did work. But I had aslo expected to require 'sudo' . [00:28] Odd. [00:28] Maybe when it's live, I am sudo? [00:28] Guest19824: erors out here without sudo [00:28] is there any body can help me solve it? [00:28] Guest19824: And yes, if the command does not work, the system will tell you "something' . [00:29] Alright, thanks [00:29] yes your are super user in live [00:29] To make a good read of code,how can I change .bashrc that can auto plus TAB when needed? [00:29] Guest19824: do you really think anyone is going to be checkout your swap devices for random blocks of your special file? not to mention the small chance a file being sent over a link will be swapped out is pretty small [00:29] shuaizi: explain better [00:29] Jamesd, true. I'm just paranoid. :P [00:30] help [00:30] help comes to those that help them selves. [00:30] my english [00:30] is [00:30] ........... [00:30] mmm generic platitudes [00:30] shuaizi: as i said explain the context in more detail [00:31] auto-completion should be one by default in bash... [00:31] ok [00:31] thx === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:32] Is 128G enough HDD space for ubuntu if I'm just going to use it for web development? [00:32] shuaizi: so thats solved your issue, pfft... [00:33] Malgorath: possibly... but would seem a little tight if you are working with a large code base... and multiple versions of code active [00:33] also depends on your stack tools and ide [00:33] jamesd: php/nginx/mysql setup [00:33] Malgorath: plenty [00:34] Malgorath: My mess-about installs are 30 gigs, with sym links to data partitions. [00:34] should be fine... you can probably install that on a 10GB box... [00:34] Good evening [00:34] I have a 2TB drive via usb3 also for storage [00:35] Guess I just have to figure out how to install 15.04 without killing my windows 8 install on the main drive [00:35] Last I looked you could install Ubuntu Server on a 5 Gb partition, beyond that, how much data do you have ? [00:35] In general, I tend to go with a 10 Gb minimum [00:35] Malgorath: install virtualbox or vmware viewer, create a vm with 10GB storage and 2GB of ram if you want to go overboard. [00:36] I installed postfix but I never got the dialogue tochoose the type of email account, such as "internet" etc.....nor did I get to select the FQDN or user name. How do I completely ininstall what I did and start over? [00:36] uninstall and start over [00:36] hi [00:36] hi I have ip routing issue, I want to ping an in subnet and I think I am missing some routes or filter [00:37] Thanks, bye. [00:38] gueriLLaPunK|MBP: nice hostname :) [00:38] Thanks al2o3-cr :) [00:39] who is good in webmin? [00:40] I need to add nat filter to forward ports [00:40] Who knows about Postfix? [00:41] Malgorath, is it that you are trying to do with ubuntu, are you trying to use it as a dev enviornent or production [00:41] ssfdre38 Dev enviro [00:41] I use ssmtp istead of postfix :) lester_ [00:42] I'm just going to install a virtualbox and gimp around with that for a bit to start [00:42] that is what i was going to recommand cause if you are using a pre-installed windows 8 computer you might remove the system restore partition [00:43] that is what im using with 2 *ubuntu installs, a debian install and 2 window servers installs [00:45] mfaroukg, webmin is depreciated on debian/ubuntu [00:45] !webmin [00:45] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [00:46] OerHeks, I need to add iptable to allow some port forward [00:46] Anyone know how to install postfix mail server/ [00:46] it is so confusing to me [00:48] mfaroukg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW [00:48] lester_, there is a page on the ubuntu help that shows you at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/postfix.html [00:49] Thanks, but I have s pecific question about postfix. [00:49] rypervenche: It works strangely [00:50] then say what that question then just how to install postfix [00:50] rypervenche: can I show you ? [00:50] You may. [00:51] I followed the instructions to install postfix, but I never got the dialogue to select the type of email server to install or to name my FQDN or user name. How do I go back and do that? [00:51] lester_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix [00:52] Thanks, I'll try that. [00:53] rypervenche: when I try to forward port 80 from local ip in the local LAN (10.42.0.0) to the WAN IP 192.168.1.X:XXXX it doesn't work [00:53] rypervenche: it can't see the local LAN [00:54] hey all just a quick question when using shotwell to set more then one picture as background wallpaper slideshow should it look laggy when it switch pictures? [00:54] mfaroukg: Can you try to explain a bit better what your ultimate goal is and what you are trying to do? [00:55] rypervenche: there is a device(IPcam) connected to local DHCP and I want to see it from outside but I can't [00:56] mfaroukg: Can your router not port forward for you? [00:57] rypervenche: the router is fine but I have another LAN port with local DHCP [00:57] I have dual-screen setup, is there a way to have the second launcher only show the apps open on that window? [00:58] mfaroukg: So you have a local server that is running DHCP on the machine itself? [00:58] rypervenche: YES [00:58] mfaroukg: With a different WAP IP? [00:58] WAN* [00:58] rypervenche: YES [00:58] mfaroukg: Ok, then you will need to set up masquerading. [00:59] rypervenche: what is that ? [00:59] mfaroukg: https://gist.github.com/kimus/9315140 or http://www.kintona.com/ip-forwarding-and-masquerading-in-linux/ may help [01:00] rypervenche: I use default iptables without ufw . is this fine ? [01:00] mfaroukg: That is fine. Let me find a guide for that then. [01:01] mfaroukg: http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/nat.html [01:02] mfaroukg: What version of Ubuntu? [01:04] rypervenche: 15.04 [01:05] rypervenche: the local DHCP is from chilli [01:05] rypervenche: really confusing [01:06] rypervenche: ops sorry the server ubuntu is 14.10 [01:06] mfaroukg: You'll want iptables-persistent installed as well if you don't already have it. [01:06] "the local DHCP is from chilli" I don't follow. [01:07] rypervenche: yes coova-chilli [01:07] rypervenche: it creates local IPs for the end users [01:08] rypervenche: I use IP cam as end users and I can't see them in the server neither outside :( [01:17] Anyone really familiar with GPT partitions? Like why they make get messed up when a BIOS tries to boot from them? Or how to fix that? [01:17] GPT is for UEFI computers [01:18] if you format it as MBR im sure it works better [01:18] depends if you do a UEFI install or not [01:20] billy_ran_away: A good explanationof th difference between GPT and MBR partitioning; and what is : https://iam.tj/kb/pc/boot/ . [01:20] Bashing-om: This is what I'm seeing... http://pastebin.com/TSx0rYWR http://pastebin.com/A66PvCzv [01:21] it can be abit of a headache sometimes [01:21] billy_ran_away: You can boot from them if you're using GRUB2, but you'll need a special partition. [01:22] rypervenche: not trying to boot from them, got two drives (of 4) in a RAID 5 array that GPT says is messed up [01:22] I'm pretty sure this happened when the BIOS tried to boot from them, I knew this because at first it was only one of them [01:24] I think if I could just fix the GPT partition table it work [01:26] billy_ran_away: "/dev/sde1 2048 5860524877 5860522830 2.7T Linux RAID" can not help ya much in a raid recovery situation . === hugegree_ is now known as hugegreenbug [01:29] Bashing-om: Well once I get the partition table fixed it would... [01:31] billy_ran_away: One has to be carefull here with raid, raid's partitioning table is not the same same as that of a hard disk partition table. [01:32] Bashing-om: Oh yea? I think I screwed one of my two chances already... [01:33] billy_ran_away: Several frequent this channel with good experience with raid . patience and see who pops up that can help .

[01:34] i'm trying to install skype on a 64-bit ubuntu 15.04 machine from the software center, but i get an error stating that the installation cannot proceed because there are unmet dependencies. help? [01:35] stef1a open a terminal [01:35] write sudo apt-get -f install [01:35] that should fix the dependencies [01:35] The only thing of like real significance is some old mp3s... [01:36] silverhom: will do that in a minute; just let the software updater run, so sudo is locked, i think [01:36] billy_ran_away: The nuclear solution always works. But with patience you learn more fixing the fault . [01:36] or if its not installed yet at all type apt-get install skype [01:36] :) [01:36] Bashing-om: that's a good point [01:36] silverhom: it's not, and that doesn't work (will give an exact error message in a minute) [01:37] what did you do? [01:37] apt-get install skype? [01:38] yes [01:39] put sudo apt-get install skype [01:39] do sudo apt-get -f install after that [01:39] and not skype after install only "install" [01:39] tell what happens [01:39] :) [01:40] ok, here http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7wANWYEE [01:40] hi how to install network printer without PPD?

[03:06] FelixFire619, to invert that selection, and print out all of the fields except 1 and 6, put --complement between the 6 and the / [03:09] docmur, can you code at all? [03:10] yes, but was hoping to not have to code a solution, but realizing that might be my only soulution [03:10] docmur, yeah. growl is what I've seen so far. [03:12] are they on the same lan? [03:13] docmur, where is the notification coming from? bash script? === z_ is now known as Guest84296 [03:13] It would be coming from a php script actually [03:14] nice [03:14] docmur, are you already running apache? [03:14] lighttp [03:16] docmur, you could either create/destroy an empty (but served) file, and monitor for its presence using a free windows file monitor utility. some will give customized alerts. [03:17] docmur, or you could serve a file that contains the alert. maybe one of the utilities could read the txt, but once you have a file, you can just use whatever alert windows provides. [03:17] I could alway write a quick C# program to listen over an open protcol and use the integrated windows notifcation system, but was hoping to not have to do that [03:18] docmur, of course not. that's why i suggested creating a file and running an off-the-shelf utility. [03:18] docmur, https://www.raymond.cc/blog/3-portable-tools-monitor-files-folders-changes/ [03:19] docmur, the first one can either give an alert, or run a batch file, from which you could run a custom alert. [03:20] saves you the network programming. [03:21] I'm assuming the windows server has access to lighttpd [03:22] wow. slow night tonight.. [03:22] Well all the windows computers connect up to Linux server so yes, they have access to the lightttpd [03:23] Anyone here a debian expert?

[04:47] http://termbin.com/0nup [04:47] erkburgles: did you reboot after installing the newer kernel? [04:47] yes [04:48] all it did for me was give me worse graphics and an error or two [04:48] erkburgles: well 3.19 is not the latest, so not sure what you are doing. [04:48] i just followed the post [04:49] !info linux-image trusty [04:49] what is that [04:49] Package linux-image does not exist in trusty [04:49] erkburgles: just trying to check something [04:49] ok [04:50] erkburgles: What directions were you following exactly for your kernel upgrade? [04:50] see the link you sent me? [04:50] everything there [04:52] erkburgles: well I don't see anything there about downloading kernel 3.19 [04:53] the linux mint link [04:53] below the trusteddarkness link [04:53] http.conf is an apache question not hereright [04:54] thomedy: should be in #httpd [04:54] okay thank you === klaas_ is now known as klaas [04:55] erkburgles: I have no idea what you are talking about anymore. the word trusted isn't on any of the pages i'm looking at [04:55] omg ok see the link you sent me [04:55] scroll down [04:55] erkburgles: either way It doesn't sound as if the kernel you installed is new enough. Or you didn't blacklist the modules properly with the stock kernel. [04:55] there is a link that starts with trusteddarkness [04:56] erkburgles: Yeah that's about blacklisting a module [04:56] http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=131433 [04:57] erkburgles: that link is about installing a kernel in linux mint [04:57] ok so why do I still have ubuntu after installing that kernel? [04:57] erkburgles: huh? [04:57] <__DiCe__> ??????????????/ [04:57] uh... kernel is not distro [04:57] erkburgles: you didn't install mint. Just a kernel from kernel.org [04:57] ok....... [04:58] allegedly [04:58] what's the commandline way of changing the default torrent client? [04:58] <__DiCe__> distro=car ,kernel=engine/carcomputer [04:59] javnut: using xdg-mime? [04:59] i updated the kernel to get the right drivers RIGHT??>::? [04:59] erkburgles: but you're running some 3.19-generic kernel now anyways so Not sure what you are trying to accomplish anymore. [04:59] erkburgles: I wasn't with you looking over your shoulders. [04:59] GET THE TRACKPAD TO WORK!!!!!! [05:00] erkburgles: cat /etc/issue [05:00] What does that output? [05:00] erkburgles: so why not try a *new* kernel instead of some weird mint stuff === lolmac is now known as Guest56341 [05:01] ben64 i will do whatever the hell i have to to get the trackpad to work [05:01] erkburgles: he's running a vivid kernel aparently [05:01] histo: I'll check it out [05:02] erkburgles: then just edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add the line blacklist i2c-hid [05:02] i have been GIMPING ALONG with the keyboard for the entire day following random advice from people on this channel, i just want the trackpad to work, ive been at this for 15 hours [05:02] erkburgles: and reboot [05:02] will you type that again please [05:03] erkburgles: You need to edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and put the line blacklist i2c-hid in there and reboot [05:04] so i would type edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf in terminal? [05:04] erkburgles: Do you have a desktop system? [05:05] topic? [05:05] erkburgles: I mean a Graphical user interface. [05:05] McGuyver48: ubuntu [05:05] no, i have no trackpad, i cant point and click anything [05:05] i guess i have one technically [05:06] erkburgles: press alt+F2 and type in gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:06] you mean go into tty [05:06] have to ad fn to that for it to work but ok [05:06] no [05:06] erkburgles: well in tty you can type in sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:06] alt+f2 brings up a "run" dialog [05:06] ok [05:07] well for me its lowering the volume [05:07] erkburgles: well switch to tty and use sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:07] <__DiCe__> ctrl-atl-f2 [05:07] is there anything active like hotwire shell that sort of merges python and sh? [05:08] erkburgles: ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to desktop [05:10] vm: maybe ask in #python [05:11] i cant paste that into tty [05:11] how can i paste it [05:11] <__DiCe__> ctrl-shift-v [05:11] i tried [05:11] erkburgles: ctrl+shift+v [05:11] erkburgles: paste it into a terminal [05:11] not from gui to console [05:11] it just does ^V [05:12] erkburgles: press windows key to open the dash thing. Then type in terminal press enter when it hilights the terminal applicaiton. [05:12] erkburgles: Are you the one that posted that askubuntu question? [05:12] erkburgles: and are you using a dell 13 7000 laptop? [05:12] no [05:13] no no and no [05:13] wtf [05:13] inspiron 3541i [05:13] that was a link given to me around hour 3 from someone on this channel [05:14] ok so im in with sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:14] erkburgles: well lets assume they still had some of their sanity left [05:14] what am i doing here [05:14] erkburgles: add a line blacklist i2c-hid [05:14] dude i know im being difficult, but this is crazy, i was sane earlier today [05:15] erkburgles: You're not being difficult. I'm just having trouble following what's going on. [05:15] erkburgles: I kind of came in the middle of this. [05:15] all i want to do is get the trackpad to work that is absolutely all [05:15] erkburgles: I understand. [05:15] erkburgles: well once you add that line I believe you hit ctrl+w to save the file in nano [05:16] how do i add the line? [05:16] erkburgles: sorry ctrl+o to save [05:16] am i just typing at the end of whats written? [05:16] erkburgles: use you arrow keys and type with your keyboard [05:16] erkburgles: yes [05:16] ok what is the line again [05:16] erkburgles: blacklist i2c-hid [05:17] Is there a way I can make my audio temporarily mono? [05:17] erkburgles: Also page up and page down will probably scrollback this window in whatever irc client you are using. [05:18] and what is the save command [05:18] erkburgles: ctrl+o or if you hit ctrl+x to exit it will ask you if you want to save [05:19] ok [05:19] now what [05:19] erkburgles: reboot and see if it worked [05:20] ok ty for your help patience everything [05:20] erkburgles: np [05:23] Evenin' [05:23] is histo on this channel? [05:23] erkburgles: yes [05:23] TY [05:23] erkburgles: did it work? [05:24] yes it did [05:24] jesus christ [05:24] !cookie | histo [05:24] histo: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:24] lol [05:24] well whatever [05:24] he helped me [05:24] erkburgles: Good, hopefully by the time you upgrade to the next release of ubuntu it has a newer kernel so you don't have to go through all this. [05:24] or she, i don't know you [05:24] erkburgles: all related to a buggy driver for your touchpad. [05:24] * histo is a he [05:25] lol ok [05:25] hello [05:25] erkburgles: Is that the fix for your touchpad issue? Was the solution a mainline kernel upgrade as I suggested? [05:25] no [05:25] just a blacklist [05:25] looking for best free os [05:25] TJ-: the mainline would have worked as well. [05:25] ok [05:25] smokes: GNU/Linux [05:25] i just did it incorrectly [05:25] erkburgles: Oh, that's even better then. The first suggestion on that Answer we looked at? [05:26] yeah i just wanted to do the upgrade and not the simple workaround [05:26] cuz it was saying that it was not ideal to just blacklist [05:26] histo: Yeah.... When I suggested those 2 I thought the mainline kernel would be more certain to solve it since I did see some reports of issues with the touchpad beginning to 'stutter' after a few minutes of use, with the blacklist option [05:26] erkburgles: well now you have a working trackpad you can work on getting a newer kernel if you want. [05:26] can it run flash programs [05:27] ty histo, TJ, ben64 [05:27] erkburgles: I would suggest becoming more familiar with linux first. but I'll have ubottu send you instrucitons for the manual and mainline kernel upgrade [05:27] !manual > erkburgles [05:27] erkburgles, please see my private message [05:27] !mainline > erkburgles [05:27] smokes: yes [05:28] ok is there support for them [05:28] like bugs [05:29] There is a wider lesson here - always have spare input devices just-in-case ... heck - just have 2 of everything :) [05:29] its for older laptop [05:30] still hear histo [05:30] smokes: you are in a support chat room for ubuntu linux, you do realize that right? [05:31] yesk; [05:31] smokes: There is an (optional) package "flashplugin-installer" which installs the latest Adobe Flash plugin browsers [05:31] sorry i just wanted some open options === alien_ is now known as Guest60270 [05:31] s/browsers/for browsers/ [05:31] !install | smokes [05:31] smokes: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [05:32] ok [05:33] hey, so when downloading the mainline kernels what command do i use, like here is the file - linux-headers-3.14.4-031404-generic_3.14.4-031404.201405130853_amd64.deb [05:33] Where can I go to check if its okay to uninstall a package [05:33] erkburgles: you don't want that file. [05:33] o [05:34] smokes: there are some open-source implementations of the Flash APIs too, such as "gnash" and "lightspark" [05:34] Im wondering if it is okay to uninstall something called ubuntu-desktop. I'm trying to uninstall evince and it wants me to also uninstall ubuntu-desktop [05:34] erkburgles: that's an old one. let me take a look at the instructions and see where you are. [05:34] erkburgles: I have a shell script that fetches and installs the latest version, would you like a copy of that? [05:34] yes plz [05:34] zdm: it's a meta package you can remove it. Any reason you're getting rid of evince? [05:35] histo: Im using zathura as my pdf viewer instead [05:35] I try to limit what I have installed [05:35] Since last time I was using ubuntu and went crazy with installing whatever messed up my ubuntu [05:35] zdm: well it's a default package so that's why it's wanting to remove the ubuntu-desktop package [05:35] So now Im conservative in what I install [05:35] erkburgles: Download this using your browser, save it in your user home directory: https://iam.tj/projects/misc/wget_kernel_mainline.sh [05:36] zdm: Ahh. leaving it shouldn't be an issue either. [05:36] True [05:36] erkburgles: Then, in a terminal check that file is where you think it is with: "ls -l $HOME/wget*" [05:37] histo: What does meta pacage mean? [05:37] package* [05:37] erkburgles: If that last command lists the file and its attributes, then you do: "chmod ug+x $HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh" [05:38] erkburgles: And now you can execute it with "$HOME/wget_kernel_mainline.sh" [05:38] zdm: it's like a package that is just groups other packages together to provide something. [05:39] ok thanks all [05:39] zdm: it doesn't actually contain anything itself but requires unity, evince , etc.... [05:39] * histo hopefully that makes sense [05:39] TJ-: nice url [05:40] histo: kinda :P [05:41] !ubuntu-desktop | zdm [05:41] zdm: k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [05:42] zdm: https://wiki.debian.org/metapackage [05:42] zdm: oh here this is a better explanation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages [05:43] zdm: Think of meta-packages like a cooking recipe ... it tells you everything you need but has nothing edible :) [05:43] Thank you hesto! Reading it now and thanks for the analogy TJ- [05:52] if i mount an btrfs drive with snapshots should it have a bunch of @ stuff in the root folder or is that ubuntu's ubiquity that does that? [05:57] good morning [05:58] so, I have the issue mentioned at http://paste.debian.net/273889/. some research suggested I update and try again. so I did, to no avail [06:01] kanliot: I've never used btrfs but ubuntu isn't putting @ stuff there. [06:02] Kartagis: how did you update? [06:02] Kartagis: sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install openssh-server should work for you. [06:02] histo: sudo apt-get update [06:03] Kartagis: update just refreshes your sources it doesn't actually upgrade any packages. [06:03] tried upgrade too [06:03] tried install -f too [06:03] Kartagis: apt-cache showpkg openssh-client [06:03] Kartagis: what version does that show? [06:04] 1 [06:04] 6.6p1-2ubuntu1 [06:04] !info openssh-client [06:04] Kartagis: Please pastebin `apt-cache policy openssh-server openssh-client` [06:04] openssh-client (source: openssh): secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines. In component main, is standard. Version 1:6.7p1-5ubuntu1 (vivid), package size 627 kB, installed size 4375 kB [06:05] Kartagis: what does apt-cache search openssh-server show? [06:05] So I explicitly configured "Software & Updates" to 'Never" automatically check for updates, but just now it interrupted me with a notification that "the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates". WTF? [06:06] histo: http://termbin.com/sxpr Flannel: http://termbin.com/iwvu [06:06] Why in fucks name would I would to be interrupted with annoying popups at all let alone if I explicitly told it not to? [06:06] Lewoco: language [06:07] Kartagis: Did you disable trusty-updates or something (after having it enabled)? [06:07] Flannel: that repo is out of sync or something [06:07] histo: He doesn't have -updates enabled, only trusty, from what his policy shows. That's my guess anyway. [06:07] Flannel: yes actually, not to be annoyed every day [06:07] (-updates has 2, trusty has 1) [06:07] let me re-enable [06:08] Kartagis: or remove the openssh-client and update and install [06:09] Kartagis: I imagine 14.04 is old enough that you probably won't get daily updates anymore. [06:09] btw, why is openssh-client dependent on ubuntu-desktop? [06:09] so why i need to move to next version of ubuntu? [06:10] Lewoco: You probably installed an update and that's why it's asking you to reboot. It's not annoying you with a popup about automatically checking. [06:10] i have 14.04 now [06:10] Kartagis: because ubuntu-desktop is the default thing that a "full desktop" 'should' have. [06:10] loa: you don't have to do anything. [06:10] and all my video stack is updated i think to actuall drivers... [06:10] there was repo xorg maniacs or something lol)) [06:10] Flannel: will removing it do any damage? /me runs [06:10] is there something cool in 15+? [06:10] histo, I didn't ask it to install an update. In fact I explicitly told it not to, that's my point. [06:11] Lewoco: well something was updated like a kernel or compilier requiring a reboot. [06:11] Kartagis: No. But when you upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04, you'll likely end up with ubuntu-desktop reinstalled (but that's not the end of the world) [06:11] Lewoco: pastebin your apt log [06:11] histo, You're missing the point. [06:12] Lewoco: No i'm not I'm trying to prove my point. [06:12] Kartagis: openssh-client isn't dependant on ubuntu-desktop... but ubuntu-desktop depends on packages that in turn depend on openssh-client [06:13] TJ-: http://paste.debian.net/276559/ [06:14] Kartagis: right, his point was that ubuntu-desktop doesn't directly depend on openssh-client (ssh-askpass-gnome does). Also, PLEASE stop using -y when doing those commands. [06:15] Kartagis: yes, the relationship is ubuntu-desktop >depends> ssh-askpass-gnome >depends> openssh-client [06:22] On Ubuntu 14.04.2, when I open the "Keyboard" application and there, under "Shortcuts > Navigation" I change "Switch applications" to something - anything - the change does not actually take effect. Even if I reboot, the key combination "alt+tab" still switches windows, even though the Keyboard application tells me that my new key combination should be working. Why?? [06:23] I've Googled about alt-tab and Ubuntu for like 30 minutes, but none of the suggestions seem to make any sense. I found some stuff that indicates people have the same problem, but no solution. [06:24] sasaem: This the unity desktop? [06:24] Yes. [06:25] I can change other keybinds in the "Keyboard" application without problems, but the "Switch applications" keybind is apparently un-changeable...even though "Keyboard" will appear to store the change. [06:25] sasaem: There is ccsm and the unity-tweak tool, try thise. [06:25] It's as if my changes in the "Keyboard" application are totally ignored. [06:25] Is there an irc channel for installing ssl certificates on apache? [06:25] sasaem: It is controlled by the Compiz compositor; use the 'ccsm' tool to access the configuration for the plugins for that [06:26] Area51pilot: #apache from memory, also see !register [06:27] Somsip thx [06:27] sasaem: 'ccsm' can be installed using: "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" [06:27] !register [06:27] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

I changed the keybind there. Is it a bug, then, that the Keyboard application fails to do what it told me it had done? [06:41] It was very frustrating... [06:42] sasaem: I'd call it a case of one set of developers wearing blind-folds and not fixing issues their code creates -- definitely a user experience bug [06:43] well said hehe [06:44] ubuntu3: It's been frustrating the heck out of me for several years, the way Canonical devs ignore the wider impact of their changes, especially when the effects are predictable. [06:44] How can I determine what this "Keyboard" application actually is, and who owns it, so I can report this nuisance to them? I am very familiar with GNU/Linux, but I am not so familiar with the vagaries of bug reporting in the world of Ubuntu. [06:46] sasaem: I'd report it as a bug against Unity, which is a Compiz plugin, and against the system-control-center or whatever the package that contains that application is. I don't use Unity here so I'm afraid I can't easily check on that for you === __NiC is now known as _NiC [06:50] sasaem: are you talking about the keyboard application in unity? [06:55] EriC^^, yes, I'm not sure how to identify the owner of that application. I'm not very familiar with the way Unity finds and displays "applications". [06:55] sasaem: it's part of the unity-control-center package, unity-control-center keyboard opens it [06:55] !bug [06:55] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [06:56] I see. How would one find out that it is part of that package, if one did not already know? [06:57] sasaem: well i typed grep -r Keyboard /usr/share/applications to look through the .desktop files for it's name and then saw which command opened it [06:57] sasaem: dpkg -L somefile will show whihc package contains somefil [06:57] e [06:58] histo: you have to know the package first though [06:58] sasaem: sorry -S [07:00] i am trying to setup ubuntu a canon printer LBG2900 on 14.04 getting the same error as http://askubuntu.com/questions/394620/canon-lbp3100b-printer-capt-driver-is-installed-when-i-try-to-start-ccpd [07:00] any help? [07:00] Cool! Thank you for the information. That's very helpful. The missing link was mainly that I did not know that Unity finds its "applications" from the entries in the /usr/share/applications/ directory. The dpkg command is also helpful. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by "Can you tell me gtk+2.0 how to select function" [07:20] jishjish: adapt this http://superuser.com/questions/591222/bash-recursively-move-all-files-in-folders-with-given-name-to-their-parent-dir [07:20] jishjish: you could use find with mv -n [07:22] jishjish: "find /path/to/root/of/images/dir -type f -iname '*.jpg' -execdir mv --no-clobber {} /path/to/destination/dir \; " [07:23] thanks TJ- [07:23] jishjish: you'll need to massage that before using it in anger! [07:24] TJ-: what do you mean i.e. it could be dangerous? [07:24] TJ When program send a signal ,the GCallback 'function' select which data parameters. [07:24] which part of it is responsible for not overriting files which names alraedy exist in the destination folder [07:24] destination folder* [07:25] TJ the data parameters how to get [07:25] jishjish: I wouldn't want to use such a command without either testing it on disposable files or doing a 'dry-run' where nothing actually gets moved [07:25] yzx: You want to get the 'data' parameter in the GCallBack method? [07:26] TJ-: I can understand testing it on dummy files but since the the command moves stuff how can you do a dry run without moving stuff? [07:26] TJ [07:26] jishjish: cp them [07:27] TJ I want to know,GCallback how to get parameter [07:27] jishjish: I think in that case, since neither 'find' nor 'mv' have dry-run options, I'd prefix the mv command with echo and then look at the resulting commands that are generated by find to ensure they don't do anything unexpected [07:29] Hello i just completed my ubuntu micro plugin its a cli-interface for pastebin.ubuntu.com in C, i wanna get review about it so that i can know weather i have to put it up on my PPA or not, so anybody wanna check out my plugin ? [07:29] yzx: It depends on the event; a GCallBack method signature suitable for the event type will be generated. see https://developer.gnome.org/gobject/unstable/gobject-Closures.html#GCallback [07:30] !pastebinit | boodllebat (this is generally used here) [07:30] boodllebat (this is generally used here): pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [07:30] boodllebat: Fire away, do you have it in a git repo? [07:31] TJ-: here it is https://github.com/flouthoc/ubuntupaste [07:31] boodllebat: Is this a continuation of the C code you were getting hep with in ##linux yesterday ? [07:31] TJ-: yes [07:31] TJ-: :P [07:32] So I installed some messa-dev package in order to get Qt up and running on my system...after I have done soo my one screen that is attached to my GPU wont switch on...my Main screen attached to the onboard display does work however [07:32] I also did an apt-get update` [07:32] somsip: i tried it but i did not like it so i created it for myself not for other users but if i'm completed i thought that weather i should upload it on PPA or not [07:32] boodllebat: OK .. I'll read the code and post you a review/patch in a few minutes (I've already spotted some typos!) [07:33] TJ-: :) [07:33] I now installed Nvidia drivers for the GPU but no luck..its still off [07:34] somsip: still you can have a look i have already pasted my repo link [07:34] cart_man: Have you used nvidia-settings to setup the screens? [07:35] boodllebat: I think you need to spell out more clearly in the README the advantage of your program over pastebinit - as I see it, it is that yours has no dependency on Python - that is a major plus point especially for broken systems [07:36] TJ thanks [07:37] TJ-: oh i never spotted these advantages :) thanks wait let me add them. [07:37] hi guys [07:37] how can I change my machine name in Ubuntu 14.04? [07:37] hateball: Yea does not seem to do anything...it seems like the driver is under the impression that it is currently displaying what it should [07:37] somsip: i would be happy just to copy the files provided they 1) ended up in a single directory and 2) files of the same name were renamed and kept rather than overwritten [07:38] cart_man: and how did you install the nvidia driver? [07:38] It says it has 1 scree currently attached to it..which is true because the other screen is on the OnBoard display [07:38] boodllebat: but you should be aware of termbin.com ... that accepts pastes directly over a TCP connection and only needs with BASH or netcat/nc to pipe the output [07:38] !nvidia | cart_man [07:38] cart_man, please see my private message [07:38] somsip: would replacing the mv with cp in TJ's command suffice jishjish: "find /path/to/root/of/images/dir -type f -iname '*.jpg' -execdir mv --no-clobber {} /path/to/destination/dir \; " [07:39] cart_man: Did you install it using Ubuntus utility, or using the file from nvidia? [07:39] hateball: I did this command --> sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 [07:39] BUT [07:39] without 331 [07:39] was another number [07:40] think it was 351 (recommended) [07:40] also I could not find the ubuntu utility by the way [07:40] hateball: what is it called? [07:41] cart_man: I am not sure that installing the package using apt actually blacklists noeuvau driver [07:41] cart_man: does xrandr show the other display connected? [07:41] cart_man: "Additional drivers" or jockey [07:41] hateball: some nvidia packages do [07:42] TJ-: oh that is neat , i was addicted to pastebin.ubuntu.com that's the reason i created this plugin i did it for myself but i have asked here if it is useful for other i'll create a PPA package for it , and i've updated the readme https://github.com/flouthoc/ubuntupaste [07:42] histo: Alright. I only ever use the GUI for managing so I did not know [07:43] hateball: can I pastebin you the output? [07:43] histo: ^^ [07:45] histo: http://pastebin.com/gHJ7iNHM ^^ [07:45] hateball: http://pastebin.com/gHJ7iNHM ^^ [07:46] So what is the utility's name that helps one install drivers? [07:46] Ohhh nvm I see [07:50] restarting my computer [07:52] hateball: Ok soo now theres a little dash right at the top of the screen on the left side [07:52] cart_man: Not sure I understand [07:54] you know when your PC is processing but there is no output on the screen...just like when you just used "clear" command...there only a flashing dash at the top left corner of your screen [07:54] so this is the case accept it does not flash [07:55] cart_man: Oh, so it never loads the GUI at all? [07:55] cart_man: Not even on your main screen? [07:55] cart_man: What GPU chipset do you have and which driver version did you pick?

If I launch the ExecStart command manually it works === Zhen is now known as Zhenqi [08:00] Hi, in libreoffice calc i have problem with reading cyrylic words. How can i fix this? [08:00] LeartS: check the depends [08:00] LeartS: if it technically start,s but starts and shuts down when called via systemd you'll find it will most likley be a depend [08:01] what is the difference between installing a ubuntu based distro with and without lvm? [08:01] the disk managment system [08:01] and thats for ubuntu - not ubuntu based distros [08:02] what is the difference between having it installed and not having it installed? [08:02] ikonia: is it save to add non-raid to an existing lvm create from raid? === underyx is now known as underyx|off [08:02] *created [08:02] pupil: sorry, I don't understand the question === underyx|off is now known as underyx [08:03] Guest88318: exactly that - you will have LVM controlling your disks, or not [08:03] but i mean the effect, what is the benifit of having/not having it installed? [08:03] hateball: Seems like it [08:03] the difference [08:03] I have an issue with my touchpad on my laptop where, after a few hours, it become "springy" and impossible to control the mouse pointer. By "springy" I mean every time you take your finger off the pad, the mouse pointer shoots off to the right or down the screen like it is on a bungee cord. It's just unusable. Oddly enough restarting the OS fixes the problem. My question: is there some way to "reset" the touch pad with [08:03] out a reboot? [08:03] only way I can talk to you now is with my onboard Display [08:03] ok soo now I went into the "additional drivers" [08:03] Guest88318: research lvm [08:04] ikonia: i have a raid, then from this raid i create a lvm. now i want to add new non-raid disk to this lvm. is it save? [08:04] k [08:04] thanks [08:04] Guest88318: lvm increases the complexity, but also the possibilities [08:04] pupil: as long as you understand that new disk volume won't be protected by raid [08:04] ikonia: the depends are the after= key, right? [08:04] LeartS: depends on the script, I've seen it done a few messy ways, normally at the start though [08:04] hateball: And I installed the Nvidia binary drivers -version 331.113 from nvidia-331-updates(propriety) [08:05] When the Ubuntu installer asks for 'Your name', are you supposed to enter just your given name, your given name and surname, your full name (including middle names), or what? === john-mca` is now known as john-mcaleely [08:05] hateball: Good idea / bad idea ? [08:05] oiu: whatever name you want to use [08:05] oiu: up to you, i only give my first, it just ends up in one file on the system and can be changed later. in an professional multiuser environment i'd suggest full names [08:05] so with lvm, if i dont have it what do i have? [08:06] Well, I tried my full name but Mugshot recognises my middle name as my surname. [08:06] Guest88318: standard disk partitions [08:06] I.e. Forename: James / Surname: Middle Surname [08:06] ok thanks [08:06] Would this be considered a bug? [08:06] no [08:06] so without lvm is it still possible to resize a partition? [08:07] guest88: yes, but way more complicated [08:07] so lvm basically makes disk management simpler on linux right? [08:07] right [08:08] hateball: I have the GT730 [08:08] so when you hear 'physical volumes' acting as one, that means multiple hard drives are acting as one partition on a system right? [08:10] cart_man: hmm, well do you still have access to a GUI or not? I dont understand what you "talk to me using onboard display" [08:10] Guest88318: it can do, it depends how want to use it [08:10] ok thanks [08:11] hateball: My main screen is on the Onboard display while the other screen is on the GPU analog plug...because of a lack of HDMI cables === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [08:11] This use to work like a normal duel screen scenario...

The only option is rebooting it when I go at the office [08:15] ssh does not time out or reject the connection, it just hangs [08:15] neither can I ssh locally [08:15] Hello, how can I duplicate mate-panel to my second monitor? Can't find answer on google. [08:16] altin: don't use enter as punctuation please. i never saw a ssh process crashing in 20 years of linux... anyway, you could set up some script watching ssh and restarting the process or the server if it fails? [08:18] nibbler, sorry fore the enterings, that sounds like a wacky solution, anyone had the same problem before ? Would ssh -vvv log help to debug if I post it here ? [08:19] altin: If the server is the problem you should increase the ssd_config debug output and check the syslog (or where-ever sshd is logging to) [08:21] nibble, how do i know wether or not i am using lvm? [08:22] did you install it using LVM [08:22] nibbler, TJ- here's the -vvv output [08:22] http://pastebin.com/dD1G8tWB [08:22] it's a question at the install time [08:22] \i know [08:22] but i dont remember [08:22] i am asking how do i check [08:23] Guest88988: "mount | grep mapper" [08:24] Guest88988: lvscan [08:25] lvscan is not installed, should that be the first sign that i do not have lvm? [08:25] altin: that's from the client-side, it only shows the connection completes OK. The server has responded as expected up to that point, so you need to look at the server logs [08:26] Guest88988: I would also check the output of lsblk [08:26] when i run lvscan says no volumes found [08:27] so that means there are no logical volumes right? [08:30] never mind, i will find out myself [08:31] Mornin folks! I tried searching for a proper way to remove older kernels and they all suggest using purge...

The entire PC stops responding, the desktop only, the network-manager GUI applet ? === pgharios is now known as pagios [09:10] TJ-: no it's just the wireless connection. it stops working, tries to connect then says "not connected" [09:11] bishops: OK ... first place to look for clues is "/var/log/syslog" where Network Manager is very verbose about what it is doing [09:12] bishops: Did you try doing disable/re-enable of the WiFi option in the NMapplet (untick etc the Wifi icon) ? [09:12] vbotka, just want a script for ubuntu and mac-osx [09:12] TJ-: yes i did, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't [09:12] should i make a function to check which OS it is and add the script accordingly [09:12] most of the script is same.. but differs in few cases [09:13] bishops: How about 'rfkill block XXX && rfkill unblock XXX" (which controls the radio) ? [09:13] does ubuntu run well on laptops? [09:13] moses, yes [09:13] TJ-: should i run this in the terminal? [09:14] moses: to be honest, it depends on the laptop. [09:15] bishops: It is a terminal command yes. First read "man rfkill" to understand how it works , though. You may need to install the 'rfkill' package [09:15] moses: if the laptop has some weird wifi chip or something, it might be hard to get it running. [09:15] bishops: I'd suspect there is some clue in the syslog though [09:15] TJ-: looks like i have it installed [09:15] Anyone using spotify on Ubuntu that can provide advice on how to get my web browsers redirecting open.spotify.com/ links to the spotify desktop app? [09:17] TJ-: should i pastebin the syslog? I really don't know how to read these things.. [09:18] chotaz`w: I'm not sure you can do that for a URL, only for a protocol:// [09:18] bishops: Yes, I'll take a read through. If you can tell me at what timestamp it last failed I can quickly zero in on the messages to examine [09:20] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11809031/ honestly I'm not sure when it last failed, it hasn't in the last two days as I have been in the same location.. [09:20] TJ-, there's spotify:// I've edited my Local State file from chromium to not handle "spotify" scheme and apparentely it fixed the issue, thanks for the input! [09:21] chotaz`w: The only way I can think is a bit of a hack: first, redirect open.spotify.com via "/etc/hosts" to localhost. Second, have a process listening on TCP port 80 on localhost that reads the request and then launches the spotify app with the URL as a parameter, suitably processed so spotify app can make sense of it [09:21] is there some command line instruction which will make the touch pad reset in order to fix springy pointer syndrome? [09:21] chotaz: Ahh, so the browser actually did actually have a handler for a unique protocol [09:22] TJ-, it should work by default when you use Http://open.spotify.com and configure the spotify's webplayer to redirect said urls to the desktop, but it was borking up [09:22] forcing chromium to ignore it apparently fixed it, altough I'm not really aware of the implications, I'm just happy it's solved [09:24] bishops: In that case you'll need to identify the older syslog covering the time when it last failed. If you do: "ls -latr /var/log/syslog*" and look for the first file with a time/date that is after the last time the issue happened, that should be the file we need. Then, depending on whether the file ends with ".gz" or not, it might need uncompressing before pasting, as in "pastebinit <(zcat /var/log/syslog.3.gz) [09:25] chotaz`w Ahhh, so it wasn't directly relying on the browser itself then: [09:26] TJ-: Sounds quite elaborate and the problem is that I don't remember when it last happened. But the next time it does, I'll be sure to extract the syslog and find help here! :) Thanks anyway! [09:26] bishops: do you know the SSID of a failing network? You could simply search those files for it [09:27] TJ-: what's SSID? [09:27] bishops: the name of the network [09:27] bishops: The name of the Wifi network [09:27] TJ [09:27] TJ-: Oh yes [09:28] TJ-: how to search for the files once I have the names [09:28] bishops: grep someterm somefile [09:28] bishops: In which case you can do a search using" "zgrep -n 'SSID' /var/log/syslog*" [09:28] bishops: also next time it 'freezes' you may want to check the output of rfkill list [09:28] this laptop is a toshiba satelite and I want it to run ubuntu perfectly [09:28] !rfkill | bishops [09:29] histo: what's the command line i have to type to get this output? [09:29] moses: you can boot the installation cd and make sure all your hardware works. It boots to a full desktop and lets you try things out. If you want you can then install [09:29] moses, stop wasting time then. download the ubuntu .iso, make an ubuntu boot USB, boot ubuntu and test. the questions you're asking will be answered by your testing [09:29] bishops: rfkill list you can type it now. it will show if your card is locked [09:30] TJ-: should I replace 'SSID' with the name of the connection [09:30] bishops yes [09:30] histo: looks like nothing is blocked [09:31] TJ-: ok I got a bunch of stuff what to do with it? :) [09:32] bishops: Great! Now lets reduce that output to just a list of files. Replace the "-n" option with "-l" and do it again [09:32] TJ-: Ok got 8 files listed [09:33] TJ-: including /var/log/syslog that we've looked at [09:33] bishops: OK, now let's try to help you figure out which one contains the last failure. Do you recall what the date was when it last failed? [09:34] TJ-: sorry not to be precise... maybe 30 June.. usually it fails everyday before that because i go from office to work and everytime i have to restart [09:34] bishops: zgrep -n 'ssid' /var/log/syslog* | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:34] histo: That's not going to help [09:35] histo: We will need wpa_supplicant and related, mabe dhclient, messages [09:35] true [09:35] :) [09:35] bishops: Let's assume it was 30th June. Now do "ls -latr /var/log/syslog*" [09:35] bishops and identify which filename has a date on or after 30 June [09:36] TJ-: done it's everything before syslog 1 [09:36] TJ-: let's check /var/log/syslog.2.gz ? [09:37] bishops: Yes. so "pastebinit <( zcat /var/log/syslog.2.gz ) " [09:38] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11809091/ [09:38] bishops: what SSID name are we looking for [09:39] TJ-: VM052629-5G [09:41] bishops: nothing there; lets have syslog.1.gz ;0 [09:42] TJ-: Try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11809109/ === tkeranen_ is now known as tkeranen [09:43] bishops: nothing in those; they cover JUne 25th through june 28th though [09:44] bishops: the only messages in those are when the system's configuration for that SSID is read. There's no indication of connection attempts [09:44] TJ-: maybe this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11809125/ [09:45] bishops: OK, there's something happening from line 3507 [09:45] Greetings [09:46] TJ-: my god for me this is gibberish :) [09:46] bishops: lines 3528 onwards *may* be causes for concern, not sure yet [09:47] TJ-: maybe line 3557 ? [09:48] bishops Things are connecting as expected at line 3581 ... continuing to read [09:49] bishops: line 3584 looks ominous... I would not be expecting it to de-associate from the Access Point! [09:50] bishops: however it seems to eventually sort itself out, by line 3618 [09:51] TJ-: the suspense is unbearable :) [09:53] bishops: and by line 3685 IPv4 addressing, routing and DNS are all configured. So that was a good connection example. Now we need to find a *bad* connection and compare them === p140 is now known as daywalker [09:53] hi everybody, what is the smallest size i can set an ext4 partition too ? i wanted to make a 2GB partition for /boot but i get complains it's too small, without telling me the allowed size === daywalker is now known as witchmaster [09:54] TJ-: Can it be that in the meantime I had shut down my system? [09:56] Rene_x: you can set any size you want [09:56] Rene_x: not sure there is a (practical) lower limit to ext4 size. Are you sure the installer is not simply informing you that a 2GB partitionmay be a bit tight for /boot? [09:56] about 400mb is ok, also why use a separate boot? [09:56] no the installer refuses my 2GB size [09:56] bishops: The logs should contain everything that happened until you did the shutdown [09:56] but doesn't give a hint what size it wants [09:56] and my current boot dir is 200mb [09:57] Rene_x: post a screen shot [09:57] i mean used up [09:57] so i guessed 2gb would be okay [09:57] TJ-: but my point is, does it read the shutdown? or does it switch to a new file once the shutdown happens? sorry i'm very ignorant in these things.. [09:57] Rene_x: I've made /boot partitions smaller than that, and I think they were ext4. However, /boot can fill up a lot [09:58] bishops: There's nothing there to indicate a connection failure [09:58] i'm using the ubuntu 64bit 14 LTS iso/installer and it refuses to alter my current partiton [09:58] TJ-: should i send the log of another file? [09:58] bishops: The log entries resume where they left off when you reboot [09:59] i dont know what a screenshot will say more :D [09:59] bishops: No, syslog is *the* file for NetworkManager [09:59] Rene_x: so are you actually shrinking an existing ext4 partition rather than creating a new one? [09:59] i can't find anything in searches about a size [09:59] yeh i guess so [09:59] TJ-: maybe this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11809167/ [10:00] maybe i should wipe the existing partiton ? [10:00] bishops: best thing is next time it happens, before you shutdown, save the current syslog to a file in your home directory with "cp /var/log/syslog $HOME/syslog.bad.wifi.log" or similar and then bring that to us when convenient [10:00] TJ-: OK I take note [10:01] i want to make 2 partitions for /boot & / where there is curently only 1 partiton for ubuntu 12 lts [10:01] Rene_x: I've just made a 10MB ext4 filesystem, so that isn't the problem [10:01] TJ-: ok thanks! [10:02] Rene_x: the installer is probably complaining there is not enough space to shrrink the partition without destroying data. Wipe and start again [10:02] yeh i will try to first destroy the curent partiton and try again [10:02] i need to be carefull on the other partiton is windows :) [10:03] okay thanks for the info , going down for a boot :D [10:03] Rene_x: good luck [10:03] thanks [10:03] bishops: I don't see any failures in the most recent file, so far. However, you recall I pointed to some unexpected warnings originally, referring to desktop files. I'm wondering if what is happening is the NMapplet failing rather than the underlying network itself. In other words the network connects but the indicator applet crashes [10:03] TJ-: ok, what does it mean overall? [10:04] !backup [10:04] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [10:06] test === underyx is now known as underyx|off === Amm0n| is now known as Amm0n [10:09] bishops: Those warnings just after line 3531 may be harmless; they seem to indicate there are application launcher .desktop files for "indicator-remindor", "touchpad-indicator-autostart" and "indicator-multiload.desktop" missing. Maybe you deleted those packages but didn't purge them of their configuration files [10:10] TJ-: ok how do i do that? is sudo apt-get autoremove? [10:10] bishops: dpkg -l | grep ^rc [10:11] bishops: or dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii [10:11] EriC^^: thanks ! it gave me a list of linux-image etc [10:12] bishops: It's not a terrible issue; certainly not a cause of the WiFi issue. [10:13] if you're sure you want to remove them all, type dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ {print$2}' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge [10:13] EriC^^: if the system does not need them I'll remove them! [10:13] bishops: type dpkg -l | grep ^rc | nc termbin.com 9999 [10:14] EriC^^: it gave me this: http://termbin.com/tfr3 [10:15] bishops: wow, those are quite a few === underyx|off is now known as underyx [10:16] EriC^^: i know, why is my system keeping all this! doesn't ubuntu automatically delete the stuff i don't need? [10:17] no, by default it keeps them unless you use apt-get purge [10:17] bishops, nope. sysadmin = YOU. [10:17] bishops: did you do a release-upgrade (e.g. from 12.04 to 14.04) ? [10:17] but unused linux kernels should be removed as new ones are installed no? [10:18] TJ-: no no upgrade i always had 14.04 [10:18] bishops, best practice = keep 2 kernels. new one and the previous one [10:18] bishops: "rc" means the configuration is kept in case you reinstall later. The big stuff (binaries) is removed [10:18] cfhowlett: ok good to know. now how do i delete all this [10:18] i need help [10:18] bishops, sudo apt-get autoremove [10:18] have to go back to what Eric was saying [10:19] trying to find something like remastersys, is there something ive missed?

[12:51] Some is saying it can be done with fcron ? [12:51] If you know the difference to the other timezone, you're done :) [12:52] bekks: Not true, as the difference changes between daylight savings. [12:53] kimegede every 6 months, you mean? [12:53] Yes [12:53] MonkeyDust: More that every six months. As countries changes to daylight time on different days :D [12:54] You could set your servers to UTC :) [12:54] kimegede then i guess you can handle it with a script [12:55] bekks: Still doesn't fix the issue, as there is multiple crons there needs to be running in different timezones. [12:55] MonkeyDust: Someone else, must have done this before. Is my point :) [12:55] kimegede try setting the 'env' for each cron job to the corresponding timezone [12:56] "man cron" says "The environment can be redefined in user's crontab definitions but cron will only handle tasks in a single timezone." [12:56] Hmm.. must be something. [12:57] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28195736/which-timezone-uses-cron-on-ubuntu-14-04 [12:58] Yeah, the answer also says "LIMITATIONS". Thanks [12:58] ioria [12:58] kimegede found what you're looking for? [12:59] Only that cron can't do it as it's running in one timezone.

[13:04] mz-gmr glad i could help [13:07] is there such a thing as a server with too much RAM? [13:09] DammitJim what brings you here? [13:09] MonkeyDust, I use Ubuntu in many of my VMs [13:10] I've been assigned a project to go back to physical hardware [13:10] this server has 256GB of RAM [13:10] that huge [13:10] that's huge [13:10] my concern is that (and maybe I'm not up to date on this) normally the swap is double the RAM [13:11] DammitJim with that much ram, i guess you don't need swap [13:11] DammitJim: I've seen servers with many terabytes of RAM [13:11] the server has 1.5TB of hard drive space, but for my life I can't conceive using 512GB of swap in the partition [13:11] I personally think this is a waste, but that's a different discussion [13:11] hi! [13:11] DammitJim: You don't swap on disk with that, you could put it in zram [13:11] TJ-, zram? [13:11] hi my friend please join #ubuntu-indonesia [13:11] thank you [13:12] DammitJim: formerly known as compcache [13:12] oh [13:13] DammitJim: The point is that system will rarely need to swap, but having a swap partition can help in some circumstances, so putting it in zram retains the access speed of RAM [13:14] TJ why won't I swap on disk with what I have? [13:14] hi guys! [13:15] I mean, if anything, I won't be using any swap [13:15] Hey guys anyone that considers themselves an "Expert" of linux / ubuntu on? [13:15] hi. Is there anyone use Anki to learn language? [13:15] compcache is used to compress stuff in RAM so that one has "more" RAM and it's the opposite in my case [13:15] hihi [13:15] DammitJim: Because unless your data-set is very memory-hungry I assume you size the RAM to ensure everything runs in-memory rather than from slow disk [13:15] !ask | polishpoliceforc [13:15] polishpoliceforc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [13:15] I have questions that aren't so much technical but more about experience with linux [13:15] ok [13:15] hhmmmm... I don't get it [13:16] DammitJim: If your application + data only needs 192GB RAM then with 256GB there'll be almost no need to swap out [13:16] Well for starters I'm a little sad to say that while I've been using linux for 2 years now mainly for work on programming... I feel like I'm still a complete noob at it. Not much different from when I first picked it up at the beginning. [13:17] oh no, my application won't use more than 64GB of RAm [13:17] RAM [13:17] DammitJim: The kernel doesn't have to have swap; as long as you're fine with the OOM killer being activated [13:17] I still don't fully understand how to control linux or use the freedom it provides to its fullest and I have no clue where to start reading about doing so. [13:17] DammitJim: In that case redeploy 192GB of RAM to other systems :) [13:18] polishpoliceforc discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [13:18] !ot | polishpoliceforc [13:18] polishpoliceforc: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[13:26] hey guys, im trying to install Ubuntu. I got error when i come to the Grub installation. it says "Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda" but i want it to be installedf on /dev/sdb . how can i do that? [13:27] gier_do, that's what I was thinking [13:27] but regardless, what size should my swap be? [13:27] arcsky, use the "do something else" option to manually select the grub install target [13:30] cfhowlett: where can i find that setting?

[13:41] anyone know of any applet that can effectively give me the IP address information of all active network interfaces that ifconfig would show? [13:41] Ubuntu 14.04, it needs to work with [13:46] teward: You mean "ip addr show" ? [13:48] Because file copying by scp delay. At this point: "Warning: Permanently added '200.16.20.21' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts." [13:48] DammitJim: I wouldn't configure any swap at all, I think. [13:49] hello [13:49] <__DiCe__> hi [13:49] I only run a smaller server with 32G of RAM, and it never swapped so far, running ordinary server stuff [13:49] TJ-: yes, but on a GUI thing I can just open and 'see' the information, rather than opening the command line to do that, and on a relatively frequent updating schedule [13:49] how to fix borked upstart when it detects wrong pid and hangs [13:49] without reboot [13:50] it just says tracd start/killed, process 14800 and there is no such pid [13:50] teward: There are several minor network monitor applets but I wouldn't know which would suit you'd have to search and experiment. I prefer a terminal [13:52] teward there's 'network tolls' [13:52] teward there's 'network tools' [13:55] another point of discussion when one has a ridiculous server [13:55] if the server I am setting up has 1.8TB of hard drive space === j is now known as Guest66629 [13:55] should I still have separate partitions for root, home, opt, etc? [13:55] DammitJim: Sure. [13:55] I don't think I'll ever fill up this server [13:56] or is my "I don't think I'll ever fill up this server" a false assumption?

[13:56] at max, I think this guy will use 100GB of data [13:57] jjgygb irssi is nice [13:57] teward: How about using the existing Notification framework (notify-osd) but sending it a message from a monitoring script using notify-send (from package libnotify-bin) [13:57] DammitJim, and "no one NEEDS a personal computer! Only corporations will ever by one of these things!" [13:57] el oh el [13:57] cfhowlett: "At most 5 of these will be ever needed." :P [13:58] bekks, yep. and I bought all of them! [13:58] Thanks [14:00] jjgygb;~ i like hexchat [14:01] man, it sounds like regardless, I should have partitions "just in case," huh? [14:03] DammitJim is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [14:04] philinux Thanks [14:05] not really, MonkeyDust [14:05] thanks, though [14:06] The ubuntu clean the "/ tmp" every reboot. How do I change this behavior? [14:06] ivan_on_trac you can't, that's RAM [14:07] ivan_on_trac you can copy /tmp to some other place of course [14:07] MonkeyDust: This is particularly Ubuntu? [14:07] MonkeyDust: Can you symlink /tmp to some other place so it won't clean every reboot? [14:08] Hello, I have ubuntu 15.04 and i cant change resolution form 640x480 any help? [14:08] krasnayarsk hard link, then not symlink... if the original is gone, the symlink is useless [14:08] MonkeyDust: Okay... thanks. [14:09] krasnayarsk a hard link is a copy that changes with the original, but stays, even if you delete the original [14:10] I think this will solve my problem: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-removes-files-at-boot-time/ === megha is now known as Guest65237 [14:11] what partition does one save data for serving content? [14:12] /var ? [14:12] I was thinking /opt but it seems opt is used more for packages [14:12] or is it /srv? === chreuben_ is now known as chreuben [14:14] MonkeyDust: TMPTIME parameter in /etc/default/rcS [14:18] I have set up a LUKS encrypted /home on my Ubuntu 12.04. I have entered "none" in /etc/crypttab to indicate that I want the user to enter passphrase during boot. However, the Ubuntu Splash screen does not show the prompt, so it times out on mounting /home and asks user to skip or drup to shell instead. [14:19] How do I make Ubuntu show the LUKS prompt in the boot splash? [14:20] DammitJim: anywhere you like. Traditionally, /var is mounted read/write and can be used for files which change frequently. Might be your best best. Debian/ubuntu default to using /var/www/htdocs for web content, as an example [14:20] (or /var/www - can't really remember as I always change it...) [14:22] thanks mcphail ... all I know is that I have to change how people here think it should go under /home [14:24] DammitJim: as long as whatever is serving the content can read it, it can really go anywhere [14:24] but I would think there is a "proper location" for it, right? [14:24] I hate home.... one has to change all kinds of settings to get samba to work properly [14:25] DammitJim: depends on what distro or UNIX manufacturer you talk to. Certainly Debian tends to prefer /var, and Ubuntu inherits that [14:25] ok, then var it is! [14:25] thanks [14:25] DammitJim: np [14:25] Hi. If I buy a thunderbolt-to-HDMI cable, will it work with Ubuntu 15.04 on a MBP? [14:25] it's interesting that the installer mentions as a partition /usr and then /usr/local [14:27] DammitJim: some poeple mount /usr read-only and /usr/local as RW. The distro shouldn't touch anything under /usr/local so the users/admin are free to put modified binaries etc there [14:27] yeah, the software I am installing goes on /usr/local [14:27] and configuration files I would need to edit go there [14:27] that's why I wanted to make that a separate partition [14:28] DammitJim: sounds sensible [14:29] DammitJim: remember if you mount /usr as RO, you have to remount RW before every apt-getting [14:29] what? [14:31] DammitJim: if you follow the old-fashioned advice and have both /usr and /usr/local on separate partitions, mounting /usr as read-only and /usr/local as read/write, you have to remount /usr as read/write every time you use apt-get to update software [14:31] DammitJim: but I'm probably confusing you now... [14:34] dammit [14:34] I'm going to just have a separate partition for /usr [14:34] I Hope that /usr/local is part of that instead of mapping to /root [14:35] DammitJim: no - it will be under /usr === harrison is now known as Guest76298 [14:46] how do I make sure gpsd starts at boot time? [14:48] Hi,I wanted to setup SFTP connection using my android device to my Ubuntu 15.04 [14:48] hi everybody, i have installed by hand an nvidia driver downloaded from geforce. com, when installing it complains it can't install the 32 compatibilty stuff of the driver, what do i need to do to get it installed ? i have a fresh install of ubuntu 14 lts 64 bit [14:48] but something cool occured,status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused [14:49] vuurdraak: Why dont you use the nvidia driver shipped in the repos? [14:49] I am using default settings,systemd,and "ssh" metapackage [14:49] uhm well because i'm used to use the latest nvidia driver from geforece.com :) [14:49] hi, i upgraded 14.04 to 14.10 then to 15.04, but after upgrading to 14.10 this happenned: [14:49] http://s6.picofile.com/file/8197327192/ubuntu15_04_desktop_glitch.png [14:49] upgrading to 15.04 didnt solve it [14:49] blib, "dpkg-reconfigure -plow gpsd" after setup, http://www.catb.org/gpsd/installation.html [14:49] i guess i could try out the repo one [14:50] vuurdraak: Using Ubuntu, and Linux in general, you dont install "the latest and greatest" from every website :) [14:51] <bekks> i had to use the nvidia driver in the past when using ubuntu 12 because my grafics card was not suported by the repo drivers [14:51] and then stuck with it [14:52] there seems no longer a gui to install drivers , what cli command should i use ? [14:53] vuurdraak, type 'driver' in dash and the tool should show up [14:53] okidoki [14:55] mmm , seems by installing the nvidia driver by hand has made it imposible to install another driver in the gui , all stuff is greyed out :'| [15:00] OerHeks: Thanks. For some reason my gps won't give me any data [15:00] woops,sorry,seems like I was disconnected,my problem was that "ssh" metapackage available in ubuntu 15.04 repos requires upstart something that 15.04 doesn't run by default,any alternatives for installing something that gives me SFTP? [15:01] knightyyy sftp comes with openssh, that is installed by default [15:02] MonkeyDust,weird,I tried sudo apt-get install openssh and it told me that no such package existed.openssh-server was later installed by "ssh" metapackage [15:03] to get the error,I tried sudo status ssh,it told me status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused [15:04] command works here (14.04, that is) [15:04] i'm going the xorg-edgers route [15:05] going down for reboot, thanks for the tips & help all o/ [15:05] KnightsOfNi, sudo service ssh status ? [15:05] sorry [15:05] knightyyy sudo service ssh status ? === underyx is now known as underyx|off [15:06] ioria: thanks,bad guide [15:06] ioria no, it's the first command [15:06] active and running.hmm so my issue is from somewhere else [15:06] knightyyy yup [15:07] ah, they both do the same [15:07] what enterprise - online backup software for baremetal restore do you guys use? [15:08] DammitJim: Symantec Netbackup. [15:09] does that install an agent on your linux box? [15:11] Of course.

[15:15] this one haha the other is a stream!;) [15:15] I like the symantec [15:15] but not clonezilla 'cause one has to put the server offline === marvin is now known as Guest88311 [15:18] clonezilla-se server edition too ? [15:19] Nobody knows anything about slow wifi issues? [15:20] Ally_, with one bar, i would say: find a better spot?

[15:42] somehow.... i lost permission to use it as a user and now it won't run unless i use root [15:43] polishpoliceforc: type sudo chown : ~ [15:44] polishpoliceforc: type sudo chown -R : ~ [15:44] it'll reset the ownership of the files [15:44] sudo chown -R user1: ~ [15:44] ? [15:44] yeah [15:44] ok [15:44] as your user [15:44] not working still [15:45] do you know where it saves the files? [15:45] Do you know how can I run virtualBox in another xserver? (like TTY8) [15:45] http://pastebin.com/Qy7CiAAg is the error that im getting when i try to run it [15:45] if you can run it as root, it's probably a permissions issue [15:45] nvm i can't even run it as root [15:45] it did work briefly... but now it doesn't [15:45] im so confused [15:46] polishpoliceforc: it looks like a gtk issue [15:47] mojtaba: you'd have to login as a user and start an xorg session in tty8 then launch virtual box there [15:47] EriC^^: could you please explain more? [15:49] Good night. I am experiencing a rather weird issue: I have closed my Ubuntu One account after it stopped offering cloud storage, but my Launchpad account associated with it remains. How do I login into it? [15:49] There doesn't seem to be a way to opt-out of Ubuntu One identification and offer my usual credentials. [15:50] Everytime I boot I get into emergency mode first, then I have to press ^D to boot the desktop. What can I do to analyze this? [15:50] platzhirsch: Have you modified grub and can you pul grub up to boot? [15:51] hkl88: no and I don't know [15:51] mojtaba: for instance, open tty2, login and type DISPLAY=:1 startx [15:51] platzhirsch: This a dual boot? [15:51] No [15:51] mojtaba: then press ctrl+alt+f8 and open a terminal and type virtualbox [15:51] mojtaba: you can probably refine it and use something other than startx so unity loads fully [15:52] Isn't recovery mode different to emergency mode? [15:52] Recovery mode for instance I find in the grub config /etc/default/grub [15:52] platzhirsch: If you taping shift at powering on you should get grub. For it to just go to recovery there has to be a lead up to that. [15:52] EriC^^: I tried that one already, but I don't have unity fully loaded there. Do you know what should I do to have it fully loaded? [15:52] you"re tapping* [15:52] hkl88: yeah okay, and then what? [15:53] mojtaba: maybe look into the line that lightdm uses to start unity for a user [15:53] EriC^^: thank you very much. I will check it [15:54] platzhirsch: Choose the main kernel, not recovery. You have to know to get help this has to be a two way conversation, if you can we need some context leading to this issue. [15:54] mojtaba: if you open a terminal and type unity [15:54] unity loads [15:54] hkl88: Sorry, just a sec, I'll get you a screen grab, I know what you're talking about, but that emergency mode is a different one [15:54] brb [15:55] EriC^^: nice, thx [15:57] Hello, I installed kernel 4.xx in kubuntu 14.04, how should I manage my app updates.

[16:03] use xchat [16:03] I like empathy, so no solution to make empathy work instead installing xchat [16:03] ? [16:04] is it safe to delete /boot/*generic.old-dkms files? (e.g. /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-32-generic.old-dkms ) [16:04] Mr777, xchat is abandonware. consider hexcht [16:04] hexchat [16:04] he likes empathy... [16:05] Lol, I do not want to use anything other than empathy. If I couldn't make empathy work, I would probably go with browser === underyx is now known as underyx|off [16:07] cfhowlett: odd, do you know why https://hexchat.github.io/ says "...unlike XChat it’s completely free..."? As far as I can tell, XChat is GPL v2. https://sourceforge.net/p/xchat/svn/HEAD/tree/COPYING [16:07] Mr777: There are a few reasons related to the Freenode network as well as the design of the web client that recommend that you use *anything* decent that's not the web client. [16:07] meonkeys, don't know, don't care. xchat has been abandoned and is no longer developed so ... [16:08] meonkeys, read the story https://hexchat.github.io/news/announcement.html [16:08] huh. I care. Especially if they are lying [16:09] OerHeks, good find. thanks. [16:09] OerHeks: ok, skimmed that... I don't see any answers to my question about licensing [16:09] turfes: please don't PM me unsolicited links. Looks like spam or phishing. === sins-_a is now known as sins- === Michael is now known as Guest77080 [16:10] hello? [16:11] I kinda need help with the Unity desktop environment, and 14.04 LTS. [16:11] meonkeys, "completely free" is licensing zealot phrasing, i'd say you can safely stop reading right there :) [16:11] I recently upgraded to it (infact I'm running it right now) and when I logged in I noticed glitches with the login screen, launcher and top bar. [16:11] Guest77080: Don't ask to ask, questions are always welcome :) [16:11] I'm part-way through a git commit. I'm in my $EDITOR editing the commit message, but I want to abort the commit at this point. How do? [16:11] They were... gone... [16:12] rory: Delete the entire commit message, save, and exit the editor. [16:12] rory, blank out the message and exit [16:12] git will abort due to empty commit message. [16:12] Thank you hexafraction and pbx [16:12] No problem [16:12] I'm wondering what I should do about this darn glitch. I'd hate to have to downgrade [16:12] rory: if you can get your editor to exit with an error code, even better. For example, :q! in Vim [16:13] kill -9 nano it is [16:13] Guest77080, what were you running before? what hardware? have you run update & upgrade since installing? [16:13] So with emergency mode I mean this here? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yeed4cokjnfe6tq/2015-07-02%2016.55.48.jpg?dl=0 It seems to be related to my fs being in read-only mode, not sure [16:14] I ran dmesg and I read here "warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended" [16:14] Well, I was previously running a dual-boot of Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS [16:14] it worked perfectly [16:14] then I ran the upgrade manager [16:15] updated to 14.04 [16:15] The glitch is only present when I boot with the default Linux kernel [16:15] I booted with the one for 12.04 and, well, we're working perfectly [16:16] Guest77080, i'm talking about steps 4 and 5 here: http://howtoubuntu.org/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-14-04-trusty-tahr [16:16] ah, re XChat (earlier), here's what the hexchat folks mean by XChat not being completely free: https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat.github.com/blob/master/shareware.md [16:16] except the High Contrast Inverse theme is gone, and I use that to actually see the computer :L [16:16] I'm blind. [16:17] Guest77080, it's GONE ?? [16:17] Guest77080, my 14.04 install only has High Contrast, not High Contrast Inverse, FWIW === DanielCEd is now known as DanielCE === Vovvy is now known as PushUpVovvy [16:23] is there a way to easily find the command for an application?

[16:26] tmtwd: it's called Evince [16:26] I'm creating a little shellscript to do all this repo updating stuff for me after I reboot. [16:26] It's actually pretty fun xD === Guest1094 is now known as guyz [16:28] anyone know why in ubuntu studio my desktop background randomly changes and so does my windows manager? [16:29] the desktop background reverts to the default ubuntu studio background and the icons have different sizes.... [16:29] polishpoliceforc, abnormal behavior [16:29] T_____________T [16:30] why... what did i do? T_T i even did everything safely this time [16:30] and i still break my distro [16:31] for some strange reason all the new notebooks i make with keepnote i can open as a user by clicking, but the old ones i cannot.... anyone know how to fix this? === PushUpVovvy is now known as FatVovvy [16:36] hi2all, what about https://askubuntu.com/questions/643668/cant-log-in-after-lock-screen-by-winl ? [16:37] Good day! === will_ is now known as Guest6680 [16:43] tmtwd: that's a great question. No, I'm not aware of a super easy way. What I usually do is launch the application, then look at the process table (using `ps` from a terminal or System Monitor -> Processes) [16:43] tmtwd: ans, as allizom said, it's called evince (no idea why) [16:44] tmtwd: aha! Check out http://askubuntu.com/questions/126268/how-to-find-out-the-terminal-command-of-an-application too. Apparently "Most default applications will have a .desktop file located in /usr/share/applications." [16:45] I'm having trouble with UTF-8 encoding. Spent about an hour on this. [16:45] I told VIM to use UTF-8, and it's happy. [16:45] I have a file with one line in it: spokojená [16:46] That's one word, and the last character of the word is an "a" with an accent mark, in case your IRC client doesnt' [16:46] show it properly. [16:46] I named the file "z". [16:46] "cat z" shows the character properly in my terminal. [16:46] But if I select it with the mouse, and middle-click back into the terminal, that character is missing. [16:47] ~$ echo $LANG [16:47] en_US.UTF-8 [16:47] Terminal | set character encoding => Unicode(UTF-8). [16:47] I've also rebooted. [16:47] So everything that google suggested, that I have found, I have done. [16:48] But I still can't paste UTF-8 into the terminal. [16:48] The clipboard stuff works, as pasting into VIM is happy. [16:48] Any ideas? [16:52] <__nemo__> wad: You tried 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8'? [16:52] __nemo__, yep, it's in both my .profile and .bashrc, and I've rebooted since then. [16:53] Also, when I echo $LANG it shows that value. [16:58] <__nemo__> wad: Have you tried any other shells? [16:58] __nemo__, no, just bash. [16:58] That's a good idea, though. [16:59] What shell would you recomment? I only every use bash..... [16:59] <__nemo__> Im not sure. I use bash myself. I just thought it could be worth checking if the "error" is on other shells [17:00] Is there some way to filter out joined and connected messages in empathy? [17:00] is there a way to add one group to an other group?

[17:20] Patero-ng, how did you prepare that usb ?> [17:20] it was formatted swap 1024mb and 16gb of ext4 [17:21] Patero-ng, oh, not a live usb, but a real install ? [17:22] bye [17:23] patero-ng: try using unetbootin or yumi [17:24] can someone point out what Im doing wrong .. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11811224/ [17:25] that's not the problem the ubuntu is in a usb drive it can load live, I want to install it into another usb drive to be able to load from it from any machine with persistent data like if it was installed on a harddrive [17:26] patero-ng: what article or steps did you follow to make it [17:26] Patero-ng, that is possible, make sure you install grub on the right usb device === tayler is now known as sonder [17:31] danielw329 no article [17:33] OerHeks is that an option that installer gives? I selected that usb drive the one I was installing into as the boot loader [17:33] Patero-ng: what's the problem? [17:33] patero-ng: google is like. google is love. https://www.google.com/search?q=persistant+usb&gws_rd=ssl#q=persistent+usb+ubuntu+14.04 [17:34] EriC^^ I tried installing ubuntu following the instalation steps on another usb drive but it didn't work [17:34] Patero-ng: are you using uefi? [17:34] installing it onto another usb drive as if it was a hardrive should make it persistante by default [17:34] what's the matter with eufi [17:35] it would be installed as a normal installation [17:35] Patero-ng: uefi is a new firmware like bios [17:36] the pc I'm using has uefi yes [17:36] Patero-ng: ok, well which os does it have? [17:36] how do i make something with file permissions of -rwx--x--x to -rw-------? [17:37] polishpoliceforc: if you just want to remove the x, chmod -x /path/to/file [17:37] EriC^^ windows 7 but I want to load the installed ubuntu from any computer not just this one [17:37] Patero-ng: yeah, well, you'd need to install it in legacy mode [17:38] and enable legacy mode on whatever computer you want to boot it on [17:38] otherwise you're going to have to choose it from a uefi menu if the bios supports booting from file, or boot a live usb and add it to the efi boot manager then boot it [17:38] installing it in legacy mode means the host computer has to boot in legacy? [17:39] yes [17:39] EriC^^, and how do i also change drwxrwxr-x to drwxrwx--x? [17:39] polishpoliceforc: chmod o-r /path/to/file [17:40] drwxrwx--x would be 771 [17:41] EriC^^, how would i apply chmod o-r to only files that are drwxrwxr-x to drwxrwxr--x in the folder? [17:42] polishpoliceforc: you'd need to use find and the -perm option [17:42] polishpoliceforc: type man find in a terminal [17:42] ls [17:42] man find [17:42] /-perm [17:42] Hi, I had installed Ubuntu on a Win7 notebook, it had created some boot options (Ububtu, Ubuntu Advanced Options, Win 7 Loader, Recovery). I'm trying to factory restore this notebook, when I choose recovery mode, it fails to load with error message: Z:\WinCon\Manager1.exe The system cannot find the drive specified. Does anyone have any suggestions what I can research to fix this? [17:43] Guys, is there any way to find out the cause of wifi disconnectivity on my ubuntu machine? [17:43] Jerome: often laptops recovery don't work anymore when you change the partition table, you can still manually extract the image if the recovery partition is still there, or use a recovery usb to restore the pc [17:43] <__DiCe__> i think i had same issues JErome if i remember right i use YUMI to get boot repair disk [17:44] EriC^^, chmod o-r isn't making it drwxrwxr-x [17:44] <__DiCe__> on a usb [17:44] Hello! [17:44] polishpoliceforc: you said you wanted to remove the last r [17:44] EriC^^: thanks [17:44] Am I the only one who have a lot of problems with ubuntu "click"?

[17:46] nevermind [17:46] its almost as twice as big [17:46] EriC^^, woops i meant change drwxrwx--x to drwxrwxr-x [17:47] polishpoliceforc: chmod o+r /path/to/file === alex__ is now known as Amoz [17:48] jrbt: what's your issue? === underyx is now known as underyx|off [17:49] quick vote: what is your personal preference for overall best linux user friendly laptop (eg shell friendly keyboard, features with matching drivers, etc) [17:50] * jrbt is installing an ubuntu kit, he waiting to see if he had again an issue [17:50] Has any tried installing Ubuntu desktop on a MacBook before?

[19:20] baja one question at a time, now you want something else [19:20] yes [19:20] Need to route many subnets out to a nic/gw.. this command fails, what am I doing wrong route add -net 172.16.128/17 gw 172.16.128.1 dev eth1 [19:20] task manager [19:20] i need to end a process using task manager [19:21] baja system monitor [19:21] ive seen it task manager [19:21] its the same [19:22] I guess that was the wrong process. [19:23] what were you doing that makes you think ssh service is missing? [19:26] hi all .. i got a quick question [19:26] andreb let's hear it [19:27] cna someone explain to how many ubuntu advantages licenses i would need.. [19:27] andreb what kind of licenses? [19:27] i will have 8 servers.... all going to be using openstack [19:27] and i am going to have about 50 vms [19:28] andreb ubuntu3 doesnt require licenses [19:28] i have filled out the form on the ubuntu.com site and no one has gotten back to me in the last week [19:28] monkeydust : for landscape [19:29] Hey! [19:30] Install a kit via Ubuntu SDK doesn't works, I've tried with "sudo click chroot -a armhf -f ubuntu-sdk-15.04 create" but doesn't works too [19:30] same log [19:30] -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11811956/ [19:33] !arm > squinty [19:33] squinty, please see my private message [19:36] hi guys, what would be a proper way to disable apparmor on ubuntu without removing it entirely from the system? is it even possible? when stopping the daemon and removing it from startup with update-rc some apparm-profiles will be still loaded on the next reboot. [19:36] Anyone that has managed to make a second partition on a MacBook with Ubuntu, please check http://askubuntu.com/questions/643709/installing-ubuntu-on-macbook-pro [19:37] Need some help, been trying for hours now [19:37] andreb start here: http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage [19:38] MonkeyDust i have read that a few times... .. i just wish their sales department would be nice enough to reply to me... i can use the "free version for 10 machines and 10 vms.." but most likely i will go beyond 10 vms... [19:44] what are the *.java~ files [19:44] andreb, AFAIK, you will need 1 license, independend on how many servers you want to deploy with Maas/Openstack/juj/chef/puppet [19:44] hey all. how would I set permissions for a folder so that anyone can read/write to it but you can't delete files that are owned by other users [19:44] openstack needs a minimum of 7 servers, iirc [19:45] OerHeks the new lds 15.01 says you need atleast 4.. [19:45] Orek but i will have between 8 to 10 physical servers [19:46] 4 machines with 2 cores probably. [19:46] i trying to figure out how many licenses i would need to get for the 50 vms.... or how much and how hard it would be to upgrade from the 10 servers 10 vms of the basic [19:46] yeah each server is dual socket .. 8 core dell servers [19:47] no problem, the number of clients/vm's is unimportant. [19:48] oh Oerheks ? [19:50] Oerheks i thought it was 10 servers.. 10vms max on the basic ? [19:50] Heya. [19:50] andreb, now i am not sure, best way to find out is join #ubuntu-solutions i guess. [19:51] That would be the dedicated openstack channel, better is by mail/launchpad. [19:51] kewl i will go there [19:52] i have a pentium 4 box with 2 gigs of memory and i went to download ubuntu the link to download is defaulting to 64bit does anybody know why this is ? [19:53] Hobbet1, i am sure you can click a button to get the 32 bit version. [19:53] how would I set permissions for a folder so that anyone can read/write to it but you can't delete files that are owned by other users [19:53] ok OerHeks thanks [19:58] Hobbet1, do you have a user agent plugin for your browser? [20:00] anyone in here know of a usb bluetooth adapter that works out of the box for 14.04? [20:00] Hi,I am new to Ubuntu === aarcane_ is now known as aarcane [20:03] when I'm dual screening, the launcher is shown on each monitor. Is there a way to isolate the launcher to only that monitor? I hate clicking on the launcher only to find the window is on the other monitor... [20:03] sup guys [20:03] anybody there? [20:03] franjo_Beijing: !ask [20:03] i'm behind the great firewall and it's kind of terifying [20:04] !ask | franjo_Beijing [20:04] franjo_Beijing: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:04] angrywombat, anything with a popular name is almost certain to work. [20:05] ..

Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:06] who do i set up a VPN to use Internet in China on Linux? :D [20:07] how* [20:08] franjo_Beijing, do you want to vpn across the firewall? Check Tor project. Make sure to only get from tor project, and do md5sum on download to verify integrity. [20:09] Exactly. I know about Tor but not aboud md5sum......... [20:10] It's a linux program that gives you a hash (a sequence of characters) when you run it against a file. e.g. $ md5sum torbrowserbundle.run [20:10] !md5sum [20:10] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:10] ok thanks a lot. [20:10] tor provides their own md5sum, so if your download is corrupt or has been tampered with, your sum will be different. [20:13] yes i see it in the guide now. thanks a bunch, cheers from beijing [20:14] have fun franjo_Beijing [20:19] SparkleShare ?? [20:20] hi [20:20] http://sparkleshare.org/ [20:21] Me again, it seems like i can't access any sites with tor. tor project site tiems out. ...... what do i do now. and can i install it from terminal? [20:21] does anyoe run ubunt through 'bootcamp' or similar virtual machine on a mac? [20:22] does anyone know? the server requirement for nfs pxe diskless client server to support 100 users. what kind of ram/ cpu power is required? how low can i go? [20:23] p5yc071c: bootcamp is not a VM monitor, it installs on bare metal. What's your issue anyway? [20:24] 100 users browsing the web, watch video and software development, irc etc. [20:24] allizom: I've never done this before...i want to install solidworks (heavy drafting software) on my macbook [20:24] gagalicious, i would say 300 mhz per client, and 256 mb. + 300 mhz for server, and 512 mb. [20:24] allizom: maybe that would be better for my purposes? [20:25] p5yc071c: I've been trying to get Ubuntu running on my Mac all day now, no success [20:25] p5yc071c: does that software even run on Ubuntu? [20:25] OerHeks: that's very little right? why does 300mhz needed per client? [20:25] 300mhz * 100 = 30Ghz?! what kind of cpu is that? [20:25] allizom: no, you're right, it doesn't ...it runs on windows... [20:25] does it really need so much power? [20:25] seems little, but enough for pxe. [20:26] allizom: I want to partition it 3 ways...mac, windows, ubuntu [20:26] gagalicious, 100 pxe clients on one server, have you ever seen that? [20:26] OerHeks: not 30Ghz right? cpu poewr [20:26] OerHeks: cybercafe? [20:26] allizom: I had ubuntu running alone on my macbookpro...and it was great except for the webcam [20:26] OerHeks: student campus computers? [20:26] gagalicious, that would be more than one server, i am sure. [20:27] OerHeks: usually how many per server? 20? [20:27] SSH auth-keys y u no werk [20:29] gagalicious, anyway, that is the rule i deploy on pxe. [20:29] Uni0n_: I vaguely remember having to do some monkey business to get the Mac to take Ubuntu...it wasn't super straight forward.. [20:29] Uni0n_: what hardware are you on? [20:30] Yukkii, see the manual ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys [20:31] OerHeks: Trust me, we've done all that [20:31] Yukkii, did you restart the ssh service after edit? [20:31] Yes [20:31] Yukkii, than what's wrong? what error do you get? [20:31] No error, still asks for pw [20:32] ah, did you disable password login in the conf ? [20:32] It's not root user [20:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring#disable-password-authentication [20:32] Anyone have experience with Debian under parallels for Mac? Specifically to scale the screen? [20:33] Scaling seems to have 0 effect.

[20:34] so I have an SAMBA share and some files show on the server but not the client [20:34] Bray90820: Same directory? [20:35] vfw: what do you mean [20:35] Bray90820: The server is Linux, Right? [20:35] Bray90820: The client is __________? [20:36] ubuntu 14.04 as the server and the client is ubuntu 15.04 [20:36] vfw: [20:36] Bray90820: In that case, I'd use NFS. [20:36] Actually my question was for Ubuntu [20:36] Bray90820: What I meant was, are the invisible files in the same direcory as the visible ones? [20:36] Ubunu [20:36] ubuntu [20:37] Bray90820: I agree with bwood. I would just use nfs [20:37] vfw: what do you mean by invisible files [20:37] Bray90820 samba is used for windows shares [20:37] Bray90820: I don't know. You might need to re-state your question. [20:38] Bray90820: I mentioned wrong nick. I ment to say I agree with bekks that you should just use nfs [20:39] !nfs | Bray90820 [20:39] Bray90820: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [20:39] Hi I installed Kubuntu in French. In the tty I have a problem with accented characters. Instead of é for example I see weird stuff like AaaaA [20:41] s230u try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration === ismael is now known as Guest76345 [20:41] MonkeyDust: Its not the keyboard. [20:41] Its like the output of programmes [20:41] Like if apt-get displays something with a é it does not appear right [20:42] But in a gui terminal it works in Konsole in KDE I see the é [20:42] isn't that a locale setting? [20:42] vfw: first I had some files that I copied to a SAMBA Share that's running on ubuntu 14.04 then I renamed them and the names didn't appear to change and then i went to the server I was able to rename and move them properly but the changes never showed on the client === underyx is now known as underyx|off [20:45] s230u if SCHAAP137 was talking to you, i agree, check the locales, e.g. UTC-8 [20:45] hi [20:45] The locales are right as apt etc gives output in french sentences [20:46] It must be a tty font issue I thing the font has no accents supported [20:46] so weird characters appear [20:46] installed ubuntu and then wine to run a program but getting proxy server dialog pop up during installation which is unusual . anyone know why that might be happening? [20:46] !wine [20:46] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [20:47] Apperently changes I make on the server don't show on the client and changes I make in the client don't show on the server [20:47] s230u with tty, do you mean Terminal, or ctrl-alt-F1 ? [20:47] ctrl alt f1 [20:47] ok [20:47] Terminal works [20:48] Another issue. Time & Date settings > unable to add another clock for another city. worked in 14.10 but not in this 15.04 version. anyone? [20:49] s230u that's odd, i have the opposite, tty layout is correct, but Terminal isnt... i solve this with the keyboard configuration command... maybe it's useful for you too [20:50] MonkeyDust: What command? Yes I have a layout issue too [20:50] s230u try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration [20:50] As I use a US keyboard but French installation [20:50] aha [20:51] s230u nope, no clue then, i'm sure someone else can help better [20:52] s230u: What's up? I use a French layout. [20:53] rypervenche: I have Kubuntu installed in French. In the TTY's the french accents do not appear [20:54] s230u: Try installing console-data if it's not already installed and then running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data" [20:56] Anyone have idea why i may be xperiencing issues with wine and mt4 that i have not with other distros? [20:57] does ubuntu have a firewall built in? [20:57] amaroq it's called iptables [20:57] MonkeyDust, can you say more? [20:57] rypervenche: Not working [20:58] s230u: What happened when you tried? === Koyaanis is now known as Teh [20:58] !iptables | amaroq I can't, but ubottu can [20:58] amaroq I can't, but ubottu can: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo === Teh is now known as Koyaanis [20:58] I mean the problem with the layout is gone... but the output of programes e.g I see something like TAaalAachargements instead of Télécharements for apt-get [20:58] *Télechargements [20:59] rypervenche: installing and config console-data [20:59] and reconfiguring keyboard layout [21:00] s230u: So now the TTY is correct, but not your terminal emulators? [21:00] MonkeyDust, crickey... can i just turn it off? lol... never dealt with this before and not had this issue before... I just need to install something (mt4) using wine, without running into proxy=server issues because i can't access their website directly [21:00] rypervenche: No terminal emulators work fine the tty does not [21:01] s230u: Please pastebin the output of "locale" for me. [21:01] http://pastebin.com/jhd7QF13 [21:01] s230u: I don't know if it's possible actually. Let me check my system. [21:01] im on ubuntu 14.04 and have broadcom 4352 wifi card. this is the driver i (trying) to use "bcmwl-kernel-source" if i try to sudo modprobe wl it says module not found [21:02] its not /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist that i can see [21:02] Also why is it Fr_ca? I would like it to be Fr_fr. I didn see an option while installing but I installed it in Québec does the installer use network to get the language? [21:03] s230u: You can change that as well. Give me one moment. [21:04] rypervenche: Porbably does not make much of a difference though since I have not noticed anything I didn't understand [21:04] how do i prevent other users running as my pxe clients from being able to do sudo / root stuff? [21:05] Hi. Ubuntu 14.04 laptop internal mic isn't working. Halp pls. [21:05] Which model laptop? [21:05] toshiba something [21:06] satellite [21:06] L645D [21:10] how do i prevent other users running as my pxe clients from being able to change into a user with sudo group access and thereafter try to do sudo / root stuff? my pxe client users are top programmer/hackers. they can brute force password into my linux user in their sudo group. [21:11] s230u: Yeah, it should work. Works for me in a TTY in fr_FR.UTF-8. Let me see what I can find for you. [21:17] i just installed a new server... 500GB disk with only 4GB of disk used. i would like to "image back" for "restore" of this image. i did dd if=/dev/sdd conv=sync,noerror bs=64K | gzip -c > freshimage.img ... it took 45GB+ as file space. does anyone have a solution that can gimme a backup image of 4GB only? what's taking the rest of the 41GB for dd? i only need the useful binary data of the whole server that's all. can that be done? [21:21] i would like to build a resilient desktop... fault tolerence and failover. does anyone know how do i do that? with two desktops... how can i use one monitor for both of them? [21:21] i mean... how do i build a fault tolerant resilient desktop? [21:21] s230u hope i'm not trolling, but in tty, the command i suggested works: the keyboard layout changes, without affecting Terminal [21:23] MonkeyDust: I know but my issue is not the keyboard layout but the output of programms [21:23] Like the stuff apt-get outputs to the screen [21:24] E.g Paramétrage de console-data (2:1.12-5 [21:24] not stuff I type === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob === Mol is now known as Guest98775 === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob === pat_ is now known as Guest94669 [21:48] Hi.

It's a great learning resource, and looking over the FAQ's and pitfalls can probably save you some time, http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [23:00] do i need to install anything to implement systemd on ubuntu 14.04? [23:00] bdfgr: if you set it to off, its off. and again: its not spyware. if you do a google search you dont call that spyware, right? so the search dash is a global search as standard. [23:01] SchrodingersScat: Woha! Thanks. I'll refer to it. [23:01] MonkeyDust, i forgot the reference, in ubuntu forums i read it somewhere this command, sudo apt-get remove unity-****-shopping ??? [23:01] bdfgr i guess that would ruin your ubuntu, don't do that [23:02] Guest68318: i dont think that it is easy to get systemd running on 14.04. it was a really alpha state at that time. on 15.04 its standard init [23:02] ah, ok [23:02] bdfgr: that depends on you actual ubuntu version [23:02] i need an upstart script then to execute a python script `app.py` each time the machine boots up [23:02] it is latest stable, i.e. ubuntu 14.04.2 [23:03] bdfgr 15.04 is the latest stable, you mean latest LTS [23:03] will upstart work on future releases (say ubuntu 16.04), or will systemd complete replace upstart? [23:03] yes, sorry [23:03] LTS [23:03] Guest68318: it will be replaced then. by systemd. === brayden_ is now known as redstar === redstar is now known as rubbernutz [23:04] got it [23:04] bdfgr disable the online search setting and never think about it again [23:04] online/amazon* [23:04] could someone assist me write an upstart script? [23:05] !upstart [23:05] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:05] Guest68318: see this, i cant contribute more, sadly [23:06] ok, thanks, and how do i check hashes thing on softwares i install from internet? is every software has different way to verify it's authenticity or i can check all softwares in the same way? [23:07] when I'm dual screening, the launcher is shown on each monitor. Is there a way to isolate the launcher to only that monitor? I hate clicking on the launcher only to find the window is on the other monitor... [23:07] bdfgr best to confine yourself to what's in the repos (software sources) [23:07] bdfgr: first: you dont load stuff from anywhere to install it. ubuntu got a package system that ships a lot of software already. use that. that is checked by hash while loading it form the ubuntu servers [23:08] i want to install tor browser, but it is not in repos? so how i check if what i downloaded is really the real tor browser? [23:08] !tor | bdfgr [23:08] bdfgr: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl [23:09] !hash checking | bdfgr [23:10] !hashes | bdfgr [23:10] bdfgr: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of all downloadable Ubuntu releases [23:10] DF3D2: Still aeaiting ? What is set in " cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf " [ifupdown] >> managed=false ?? [23:10] awaiting * [23:11] no, i mean i know what tor is, but how do you guys verify if i downloaded the right / authentic software in linux? [23:11] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11812885/ [23:11] Bashing-om: trying to make a bridge work [23:11] bdfgr: see what tor offers as hashes [23:13] DF3D2: I do not know about setting up a brideged network, But I do know that you have to tell the systestem that you will manage the network, and not network-manager . My last applies . [23:13] bdfgr if it comes from the repos, then it's authentic ... especially for beginners like yourself: don't start using unscreened and potentially dangerous softwzre [23:13] bdfgr: they give sig files: https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en === brayden_ is now known as blasterz [23:16] for a reverse shell from virtualbox (win7) to kali host, do i need to enable port forwarding for the vm to allow the outgoing connection? [23:17] scrybe kali and windows are not supported here [23:17] just saw the channel === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [23:22] With apt-get, how can I uninstall all packages installed within the past hour? [23:23] FreezingDroid: you need to look into the log in "/var/log/apt/" what you installed in the last hour and then "sudo apt-get remove 1 2 3 4" where 1,2,3,4 are the package names [23:23] FreezingDroid: You'll have to look in apt's logs yourself and do it manually. :/ [23:24] FreezingDroid: go through your /var/log/apt/history.log ? [23:24] How do I remove dependencies automatically? [23:24] FreezingDroid: apt-get autoremove [23:24] FreezingDroid: You could do a little text file editing to get the list from your history.log and then get that to go into your apt-get. [23:24] FreezingDroid: autoremove should fix that. [23:24] so apt-get autoremove remove? [23:25] FreezingDroid: "apt-get autoremove" will remove the depencies that are not needed anymore [23:25] FreezingDroid: no, apt-get remove [23:25] then [23:25] apt-get autoremove [23:25] apt-get remove --purge --auto-remove ? [23:25] looks like that'll work [23:26] ehh === AndroUser is now known as mnv01 [23:29] DF3D2: Still with me ? [23:31] when i create my upstart script, and i have the line `start on runlevel [2345]`, does it matter if i have [2345], or [5235] [23:32] is the number between the square bracket a pid for the upstart script? [23:36] Guest68318 no, it means 2 3 4 or 5 [23:37] what are runlevels? [23:37] !runlevel [23:37] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [23:37] hm, that doesnt explain it [23:38] Guest68318 http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Run_Levels [23:38] so, `start on runlevel [2345]` means start runlevels on 2,3, 4, 5 [23:39] Guest68318 why are you in linux room asking the same question [23:39] bc i'm guilty as charged [23:40] hi === mdbrim_ is now known as mdbrim [23:42] how can I unpack many tar.bz2 files that in diffrent folders? [23:43] I'm attempting to turn a ubuntu 12.04 server install into a Socks 5 proxy server to allow external clients to connect to. Does anyone have a clean cut article/tutorial to acheive this? [23:43] jin7: Have you tried extracting them all at once? [23:43] yes. [23:48] jin7: You can run a for or while loop and use tar -C /where/you/want/them/extracted/ === test is now known as Guest46088 [23:51] how much space do i need to comfortbly install ubuntu on a laptop [23:52] 50 gb is nice [23:53] moses: You don't really need much. It depends on what you'll be adding afterward. [23:53] I use 17/128 now [23:53] yeah, not the programs, but your data [23:54] just coding [23:54] on it [23:54] 15GB for / partition, rest for /home.
