lucas-argguys i cant shutdow my laptop... im on ubuntu 15.04 i do shutdown -h now or poweroff and all it does is reboots.... cant turn in off00:31
lucas-argany ideas?00:32

burmphlucas-arg, The cli your only choice here?00:33
burmphor a lifestyle?00:33
lucas-arg?00:34
khonkhortisan1sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=noirq quiet splash" ?00:35
burmphlucas-arg, You have to be specific if you do not understand, cli=terminal lifestyle is self explanatory, some want the termional always.00:35
nicomachuslucas-arg: he's asking if you're able to shut down by clicking the shut down button.00:35
burmphnicomachus, Real using terminal commands?00:36
burmphReally*00:36
lucas-argwell... i dont know extra data i can give you, my laptop does not shut down, it reboots instead... i try from unity or terminal with sudo shutdown -h now or poweroff and it does not shudown it reboots00:36
burmphlucas-arg, What happens if you click top right on the shutdown gui?00:36
khonkhortisan1Is laptop-mode-tools installed?00:36
lucas-argnicomachus: i can do that... but thats not the correct way i guess... it does shutdown if i press it long time00:36
lucas-argburmph: it reboots... it doesnt shutdown00:37
lucas-arginstead of powering off... the laptop reboots and comes back to boot00:37
nicomachuslucas-arg: no the physical button, the button in the top-right of your screen. but you already said it doesn't, burmph just missed that.00:37
nicomachuss/no/not00:37
lucas-argyeah... when i was in 14.04 i had to install laptop-mode-tools to power off my laptop correctly, but here in 15.04 that workarround doesnt work00:38
burmphnicomachus, Look when I came on.00:38
lucas-argive tried editing grub with acpi=force etc and it does not  do anything00:38
burmphnothing said about the gui since I've been here00:38
=== harrison is now known as Guest92577
nicomachushe said "i try from unity or terminal" but let's move on.00:39
burmphnicomachus, Not clear enough, don't try to explain others, 'm not new here nor a newb.00:40
nicomachuslol, ok. you should work on your typing though. I'm out. Don't feel like dealing with pompous jerks today.00:41
lucas-argwould it do anything if i force poweroff? poweroff -f?00:42
teaearlgraycoldIs there a way to blacklist a bad hop if it's giving you packet loss?00:44

burmphblahdeblah, Mirrors have issues on occasion, you can change it.01:13

daftykinsguess we can't fob people off to amazon anymore then01:16
moobaseGoing to encrypt my ubuntu system. Is a complete reinstall the easiest way?01:19
moobaseI know how to force trim in arch, but how do I do that in ubuntu when dm-crypt is used?01:19
burmphmoobase, I only encrypt a couple of folder, but lvm is popular, it uses dm-crypt I believe, might be more leverage there.01:24
moobaseburmph: you'll have to send some argument to the kernel, that's all. But how do you give the kernel a persistent argument that stays in updates/upgrades in ubuntu?01:27

Griz64Hey Gang. How can I force reinstall CUPS and all it's dependencies?01:35
daftykinsGriz64: purge and install 'cups'01:36
daftykins:>01:36
Griz64daftykins, that's the proscribed 'best method'?01:37
OerHeksstop cups first01:38
daftykinswell you can look up an alternative online should you wish01:38
daftykinsi'd probably stop X and do it from a TTY too, if desktop01:38
Griz64what's the best method for stopping X?01:39
daftykinssudo service lightdm stop01:39
daftykins(if unity)01:39
Griz64no. kde.01:40
daftykinserr01:40
daftykinswhatever graphical greeter that one uses then01:40
pozIf I want to make everything read, write and exicutable in folder X in folder Y, what do I put in the terminal and should I be in directory Y or X?01:41
daftykinspoz: what are these files? because that sounds unwise01:41
Griz64wow. that took the machine to it's knees. :-(01:41
blueingressHi, I have dnscrypt-proxy installed in 12.10, but why I can't installed in current version 15?01:42
daftykinsGriz64: er no, it just runs CLI only to perform the task.01:42
daftykinssimples01:42
pozsome installation files. it is fine, I have done it before and it is trust worthy. I just forget how to do it. the main script points to a number of other scripts which are not executable so it will not let me run the main script and I am not sure which one is causing the permission problems01:43
daftykinswell presumably you're running the parent script as root01:43
pozyes01:43
daftykinsbut you'll be better off *being* root as opposed to using sudo01:43
pozI am root01:43
daftykinsthen you want to "chmod +x *" if you're in the folder with them01:44
Griz64daftykins, hahaha. seems the machine is running fine. but, the only inet connection was via wifi, which died, when X went down. how can i reconnect, at CLI?01:44
Griz64WPA2 personal, for the encryption01:44
daftykinswow, KDE sounds like it has a terrible network manager01:44
daftykinsjust start the service again and all will be well.01:45
pozthe * recursively goes though each file in the above folder structure and sets executable permissions?01:45
daftykinspoz: no, it hits all files in the current working directory01:45
daftykinsso you'd need to be inside Y01:45
psusidaftykins, you can be in either folder... if you are in the lower folder, you want to chmod -R a+rwx ., and if you are in the higher folder, you want chmod -R subfolder a+rwx01:45
daftykinspsusi: no because that'll do the parent too, and we're being careful here - not throwing caution to the wind01:46
psusiI might have gotten the path and permissions backwards there01:46
psusicheck the man page ;)01:46
psusiohh, you just want to change the permissions on the files, not the directory they are in?01:46
Griz64daftykins, kdm is running again, albeit w/o network. isn't there some tool (nmtui) for CLI connections?01:47
daftykinswow, read the damn query before you second guess next time01:47
psusithat is to say, both of those examples change the permissions on the *lower* directory to rwx as well for everyone, but not the higher directory01:47
daftykinsGriz64: sorry, one thing i won't be doing today is assisting a CLI wireless connection :)01:47
daftykinsreboot maybe. or if it's a laptop, plug in via wired temporarily01:47
Griz64daftykins, that difficult in ()buntu?01:48
daftykinsi have never touched KDE to know01:48
psusibut normally directories need x anyhow, and you rarely want to not give r to d directory, so it only matters if you want to not give w to the directory, which is still rare01:48
pozlol lower and higher directory is subjective... is root directoer higher or lower?01:48
daftykinshigher.01:48
daftykinsgoing /down/down/deeper/and/deeper01:48
psusiroot directory is highest by definition01:48
pozlol ok, then I wanted to give all of the lower directorys and files read, write and executable... I typed in chmod -R +x *01:49
daftykinsnope01:49
pozyet I still do not get permissions... damn it, I ran into this problem before but I forget how to get around it.01:49
daftykinsalright show us an "ls -al | pastebinit" inside the path01:50
pozdaftykins, I sent it to you in another dialog window01:55
daftykinsindeed01:55
daftykinsoy thats a mess01:55
daftykinsdid this come out of a zip or tar?01:56
poziso01:56
daftykinspoz: so essentially i think you need to give the folders back execute permissions for group and world01:59
pozokay02:00
pozwhy?02:00
daftykins'cause only the user can traverse the folders right now02:01
poztwo more questions, what do you mean by traverse and why does that matter if I am root?02:02
daftykinsenter - and it doesn't hurt to try so why not02:03
pozwell lets try it then, how do I do it?02:03
daftykinsoy.02:04
daftykinsis this a CLI machine or?02:04
pozI prefer command line02:05
daftykinsi see, so it's forcing others to have you learn :P02:06
daftykinsis this really even the best way to install whatever this is?02:06
pozit is the only way02:06
pozI have a gui...02:07
pozbut nothing seems to work well that way02:07
daftykinswhat's the program?02:07
daftykinsi mean i'm seeing a windows file in it :>02:07
pozbut I am running ubuntu 14.0402:08

TragicM3LONso i'm lost02:28
burmphTragicM3LON, If you have not modified the network access, change the repo.02:29
TragicM3LONi actually did modify the network02:29
TragicM3LONto use ipv602:29

TragicM3LONno i do02:31
TragicM3LONi can grab from git and what not02:31
TragicM3LONlol it's working now02:32
TragicM3LONreason i added an ipv6 to the net config, was i'm on fiber, and it was using ipv6 and i thought i had to edit the net config to get my server back online outside my network02:32
daftykinsperhaps the mirror didn't have a v6 presence02:32

jakefromstatefarwhatta ya got sycrux02:45
SycruxI'm running 3 monitors. 1 connected to a GTX 660 (HDMI) the other 2 are connected DVI to a GTX 460.02:46
SycruxUsing Ubuntu 15.0402:47
SycruxAnd my issue is, That on fresh install all 3 monitors work perfectly, But when I install a updated Nvidia driver I can only seem to get 2 work at 1 time.02:47
SycruxThe HDMI will work if the other 2 are disabled and the other 2 will work if the HDMI is disabled.02:47
nicomachusdaftykins, my impression is he found the bug report right after asking the question here. so answered his own question.02:48
jakefromstatefargo inside the nvidia control panel to set up the monitors02:48
daftykinsso triple head ok on nouveau, bad on proprietary?02:48
daftykinssounnds like you need to write some monitors configs for xorg02:49
SycruxI've tried the CP with Nvidia countless times. But what is odd is that the HDMI monitor will turn on.02:49
SycruxBut just has a black X cursor.02:49
Guest48262ok thanks02:49
SycruxYet shows up as disabled under settings and xrandr02:50
SycruxWhen I enable it, Same issue. Stays on and only shows cursor.02:50
lzrspwSycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --base-mosaic" -- and restart.02:51
lzrspwSycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo --base-mosaic" -- and restart.02:51

pozdaftykins, I was because I had it on a external hard drive. when I move it into my home dir, it works fine.02:54
daftykinspoz: ah, NTFS was it?02:54
daftykinsnon POSIX file system = no permissions working02:54
pozyes02:55
daftykinsoh dear02:56
pozwhy not? is there a way around it?02:56
pozit makes me so mad02:56
daftykinsyeah, don't put data on NTFS volumes02:56
daftykinsreally? well get used to it02:56
pozbut that is the only way I can see it with my windows boot02:56
nicomachuspoz: there are some windows applications that will allow you to view your linux directories.02:57
daftykinsso just remember to copy it next time02:57
pozlol02:57
daftykinsi wouldn't recommend the above02:57
burmph+102:57
pozWhy do you say not to put data onto NTFS volumes?02:58
SycruxDidn't work. Just disabled 2 monitors now.02:58
=== marcus_ is now known as Guest52724
BuzzardBuzzput data on ext4 volumes if you prefer poz02:59
lzrspwSycrux: Install arandr. You enabled base-mosaic. Let's see if you can turn them all on.02:59
daftykinspoz: if you expect it to run / permissions to work03:01
daftykinsstatic data like media is fine03:01
pozoh okay, I see i see. I understand now03:01
pozthis wont be the last time I will end up banging my head for over an hour and a half trying to figure out why permissions wont work... some day I hope to learn! But I am sure microsoft will learn to use ext4 before that so I guess it does not matter03:02

SuperLagI just inherited the job of administering about 17 Ubuntu machines. 7 are on 14.04, 9 are on 12.04, 1 is on 10.04.03:10
SuperLagHow do I get the 10 and 12s up to 14, and not break everything?03:10
Mouse_wehre can I get  libtcl8.4.so03:11
SuperLagand is there a sane way to admin them all, that's easier than all this one-at-a-time stuff?03:11
lzrspwSycrux: Check /etc/modprobe.d/ (somewhere). It might be already blacklisted (by nvidia). Can't turn on all monitors with arandr either/03:12
daftykinsclean install supported releases.03:12
lzrspwSycrux: ?, not /03:12
SuperLagdaftykins: you'd clean install the others? :/03:12
Bashing-omSuperLag: My tjouhgt, it is risky to on-line upgrade from 10.04 ( unity), consider a fresh install (??) .03:12
daftykinsthe 10.04 for sure03:12
daftykinswhat are these things used for?03:12
SuperLagdaftykins: I don't know about the 10 one, but the 12 and 14's are used for neural net training. This is an AI company, and they send their jobs to these machines with two very beefy Nvidia cards in each of them03:14
SuperLagNever done anything with CUDA, so this is going to be a learning experience03:14
daftykinsdoesn't sound like too big a deal03:14
SuperLagwhich part?03:15
SuperLagthe keeping stuff current?03:15
daftykinsget a spare disk and use clonezilla to image things up as-is before you try anything03:15
rockhi all03:15
daftykinsbut i think this is beyond the scope of volunteer support channels XD03:15
SuperLagTotally understood.03:16
SycruxI don't see it being blacklisted under blacklist.conf03:17
SycruxAnd no arandr won't work. Only showing 1 monitor the others are grayed out.03:17
SycruxAhh nvm I found it being blacklisted under a different file. My bad.03:18
lzrspwSycrux: They're grayed out -- but that mean you can see them though... YOu try right-click and "Active" ?03:19
lzrspw(And to click "Apply")03:19
SycruxNo I mean it's only showing 1 monitor. But when I right click into open area, It shows HDMI etc my other monitors. Yet can't enable them.03:20
jwashi know this is a weird question, is there a program or a way to purposefully waste bandwidth?03:21
azizLIGHTjwash: i make fake files using dd and then curl them from a httpd to waste bandwidth03:22
jwashneat03:22
azizLIGHTjust dd /dev/random to a file03:22
azizLIGHTand wget that file03:22
BuzzardBuzziwash: upload torrents of install isos using all your available upload bandwidth03:23
jwashit has to be from the internet, download03:23
jwashhmm, i'm just gonna download a bunch of isos for different flavors of ubuntu03:23
jwashwe'll see how AT&T handles it03:23
azizLIGHTi typically do this to test speeds, but you can make your file size as large as you want and waste as much bandwidth as you want depending on your settings03:23

jwashi don't pay for video service, on demand is too much effort lol03:27

BuzzardBuzzMouse: there is your path error in that line03:44
coraxxburmph: in a window I'm running a terminal-program ...through the wine (windows emulator) ... the text is very small, so I want to use Ubuntu to "stretch" it ...which means when I resize the window, the contents inside is scaled up.03:44

BuzzardBuzzcool03:45
BuzzardBuzzMouse: it need to be the coorect path to the file, is all03:46
burmphcoraxx, Sounds like the resize leaves the text the same size?03:46
BuzzardBuzz*correct03:46
coraxxburmph: you mean resizing the window ...if so, resizing the window is no problem ... the content inside however remains the same ... so I get a big window with a small content-panel in the upper left corner, and the rest is grey03:47
coraxxburmph: *content-pane03:47
coraxxburmph: yes...everything is left the same...including the text.03:47
burmphcoraxx, Ah, better description, not sure, I never use wine, so am not sure the context. There is a #wine channel as well, might be ##wine03:48

coraxxburmph: oh, but wine is out ... that I have checked.03:49
burmphcoraxx, my guess is a config somewhere.03:49
coraxxburmph: (in fact a lot of users have complained about wine, because when they install old games, that uses low-resolution, its difficult/impossible to re-scale ...either in window-mode or fullscreen)03:50
burmphcoraxx, I would never use wine, I have a windows install and I started on open source.03:51

burmphkmldc, This is the reason why you wont upgrade the stack, "The 14.04.2 and newer point release will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. If you have installed with older media you can use the following to install the newer kernel from 14.10 (Utopic): "  you installed 14.0404:33

kmldcthe damn lightdm thingie messed the system up04:35

kmldcis there no way to get it uninstalled and revert my system to my normal nice ubuntu??04:36

moobasehi. going to reinstall ubuntu to have full disk encryption. But I need to force trim of my SSD disk by sending the kernel a parameter. How's that done persistently in ubuntu? I want it to persist in updates/upgrades.05:59
moobaseit seems way easier to use arch linux for this. But I like the automated of ubuntu that you can't have in arch.06:00
OerHeks!trim06:00
ubottuMany Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it.06:00
moobasefor example, updates are done automatically and smoothly in ubuntu.06:01
moobaseOerHeks: it does not when you use dm-crypt06:01
moobaseyou'll have to send an argument to the kernel06:01
OerHeksLVM & LUKS is no problem, afaik06:02
moobaseit isn't. But trimming is. It's disabled by default for encrypted devices, even if you have the discard flag in fstab. A main developer of dm-crypt has stated in a mailing list that she'll never enable --allow-discard by default for security reasons.06:05

lotuspsychjeash_m: each releaseversion has a codename11:42
ash_mlotuspsychje: the _only_ difference between these "flavors" is the desktop environment/./11:42
ash_m?*11:42

ash_m1) understand linux a little better and 2) decide if I should even care which distro I get11:45
ash_mif the only difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server is just that server doesn't have unity then I don't see why I would bother getting it11:46
ash_mlotuspsychje: ^11:46

ash_madsc: technically, I could download which ever flavor I wanted and through extensive configuration and headache, turn that flavor (essentially) into ubuntu-server; the fact that there is nothing different other than initial configuration would mean it's relatively easy for ubuntu to release and support all flavors at the same time. Is that right?11:52

ash_madsc: I see11:54
ash_madsc: so that being the case11:54
ash_madsc: is it absurd to think that people who have a good handle on ubuntu would also be apt (other than navigating the desktop) at ever other flavor?11:55
adscash_m: yeah, that's right11:55
ash_madsc: or are there commands for one flavor that simply won't work on another flavor11:56
adscash_m: I mean, it's not absurd11:56
wfpkhcwith "pendrivelinux" should i put anything for "set a persistance file size for storing changes?11:56

WazhaiHi, I'm trying to install python-libevent with pip and I'm kind of a newbie and not really sure what is going wrong here. The installer needs LIBEVENT_ROOT and when I set it to the directory that contains libevent*.a, it instead tries to access /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.libs/libevent.a. I then did a hack with ln to fix this, but there is another error at the end. http://pastebin.com/eGM513Ei  This is on Kubuntu 14.04. Any help would 12:05

warfarenupdated my ubuntu 14.04 from kernel 3.13.0-35 to 3.13.0-57 via dist-upgrade but after rebooting it shows splash screen for a bit, no hdd activity and eventually i get dropped to a shell that says it can't find the root partition. wtf?12:07
lotuspsychje!recovery | warfaren12:08
ubottuwarfaren: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode12:08
lotuspsychjewarfaren: or boot up a previous kernel again12:08
warfarenthat's what i'm doing12:08
jertoDid you update your grub settings ?12:09
warfareni googled it and was suggested to try replacing the uuid in fstab with /dev/sda5 but it didn't help. it's not wrong though because old kernel works with it12:09

warfareni think it might not be seeing any harddrive at all because in that recovery shell, i try ls'ing /dev/sd* with no results and also the path it's printing (the one with the uuid) contains no other uuids either12:12
lotuspsychjewarfaren: try a liveusb, to test your hd still working perhaps?12:13

pragmaticenigmadrmagoo, you here?13:28
drmagoopragmaticenigma: yes I am13:30
pragmaticenigmaI figured out my issue from yesterday (I was under the alias keyboardbroken) Where I was trying to restart the window manager without rebooting or logging out13:31
drmagoopragmaticenigma: Good, how did you solve it ?13:31
pragmaticenigmaTurns out VNC was the culprit. I remote in from my work machine running Windows. When I lock my desktop at work using the Super/Win + L causes the issue. The Super/Win key gets sent over VNC, but not the L or anything thing to say I've let go of the key. So the Super/Win key is "stuck"13:32
drmagoopragmaticenigma: odd, but glad to hear that you figured it out13:33

phrearchpragmaticenigma: isn't there a qt5 package ion the ubuntu repos?13:39
pragmaticenigmathere is... but all of the descriptors that accompany it warn that if qt4 is installed on the same machine there will be conflicts13:40
k1l_rrr_: see "htop" and sort after memory usage13:40
k1l_rrr_: or "system monitor" if you like a gui13:41
phrearchhm, and for ubuntu 15? surely qt5 is a default package there?13:44
pragmaticenigmaphrearch, I really think you should reach out to the docker community for help. They can help you better than we can13:44
pragmaticenigmaphrearch, doubtful... qt5 is under active development... qt4 is considered stable13:44
phrearchpragmaticenigma: just looking for qt5 in the ubuntu repo's13:45
pragmaticenigmaphrearch, run the command "apt-cache show qt5-default" it will tell you if it is available13:45

bosiHey guys, for some reason after I installed Audacity, the internal mic of my netbook isn't working anymore, as well as the headphones. It does work fine on the dual boot Windows so it is not the laptop. I checked the Alsa Mixer and for some reason the Internal Mic appears as "disabled" and I can't change it. On Pulse Audio I don't have the options to change the volume either, and in order to make this internal mic work I must use it as mono. Any ideas on what14:10

BluesKajsrslyidontsuck,  the work around might be to pull the card, install ubuintu 15.04, then plug the gpu back in and install the 346 driver at the VT, if you can get to the OS to boot14:14

k1l_garrettkajmowicz: is that a regular standard install? because there the guest account is passwordless15:29
garrettkajmowiczk1l_: No. At the session lock screen. I'm trying to unlock my session.15:30
srslyidontsuckTJ-: thats a good bet. i created the password in swedish layout, on the loginscreen it was swedish and now it is swedish. I also wrote it in cleartext. same same.15:30
srslyidontsuckTJ-: for kicks ang giggles i logged out. i cant logg in using the password.15:31
TJ-srslyidontsuck: And you were able to log-in to the installed system via the greeter with this password? (e.g. you didn't use autologin that doesn't require you to type your password)15:31
garrettkajmowiczIt is the register guest account. I didn't need a password to log in, but now I'm unable to unlock my session.15:31
k1l_garrettkajmowicz: try to click: switch user and then select guest account15:32
k1l_garrettkajmowicz: this might be a bug15:32
srslyidontsuckTJ-: maybe its for the best ot just reinstall and make sure its feed in correctly?15:33
srslyidontsuckbecuase now im also locked out15:33
TJ-srslyidontsuck: OK, so I think we have the cause. You'll need to reboot hold Shift to get the GRUB menu, choose Advanced > Recovery option, which boots with root permissions, then choose the "root shell", do "mount -o remount,rw /" and then "passwd <username>" and re-set the password to something safer, then "exit" and then choose "resume" to get back into the multiuser GUI15:34
garrettkajmowiczk1l_: I selected guest-1OxKjf and clicked activate. Nothing happens. If I selected start new session, will that destroy my old session?15:34
TJ-srslyidontsuck: better print/wite those commands down :)15:34
k1l_garrettkajmowicz: might be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/102285815:35

garrettkajmowiczTJ-: Nvidia GK107GL. It would have unlock prompt on both monitors. if I typed text in one password box, it would be added to the other. when I pressed enter it would only clear the text from the active password box, so multiple attempts would leave many, many characters in the other window.15:42

TJ-jnoob22: I've found that intermittent issues - with Bluetooth devices - are often caused by collisions with strong local WiFi signals in the 802.11g band. Many wifi devices have a BT-coexist setting.15:55

jnoob22sorry not very knowledgeable about bluetooth15:56

arunturunning an aruntu 2.0; does somebody know how to check if firewall is installed/enabled ?15:57
cfhowlett!firewall | aruntu firewall is disabled by default in new install of Ubuntu15:57
ubottuaruntu firewall is disabled by default in new install of Ubuntu: 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/IptablesHowTo15:57
TJ-jnoob22: There's a radio link between the USB dongle and the mouse. It could be using Bluetooth, or some other protocol. It may use an entirely different frequency, but radio interference can be an issue - although if Windows is fine I'd be seriously investigating the Wifi co-exist driver setting, if any.15:57

TJ-srslyidontsuck: http://askubuntu.com/questions/867/how-can-i-stop-being-prompted-to-unlock-the-default-keyring-on-boot16:07
srslyidontsuckTJ-: but it doesnt accept the current password? because it didnt port over?16:10
TJ-srslyidontsuck: I know, you have to try typing the old password and hope the translation worked for that :)16:13
TJ-srslyidontsuck: If the installer used the default en_US you could temporarily add that as a keyboard language, and select it whilst typing the old password, then back to your regular language before typing the new password.16:14
srslyidontsuckTJ-: but i changed the installer to swedish too. :-316:16
srslyidontsuckTJ-: we changed the old password becuase it didnt work at all remember.16:16
srslyidontsuckits goners.16:16
TJ-srslyidontsuck: That doesn't mean it obeyed you everywhere :)16:16
TJ-srslyidontsuck: Ahh, you're misunderstanding, let me explain further.16:16
srslyidontsuckoh please do sir16:17
TJ-srslyidontsuck: When the installer creates the user account it sets the standard system password (with passwd), it also creates a user keyring for user's secrets and uses the password given to encrypt the keyring. Later, if the user changes their password *outside* of the GUI tools (as you needed to do) the password on the keyring remains the one set by the installer. When user logs into a session using their new password the keyring tries to unlock itself using t16:18
TJ-he new password... which doesn't match the one that is still in use, so it asks for the unlock password - which is the one set by the installer :)16:18
TJ-srslyidontsuck: So, the password you need in order to unlock is the original installer-set password... which means you may hit the same keyboard-language translation issues.16:19
=== rrr___ is now known as rrr_
TJ-srslyidontsuck: My suggestion is that if we assume the installer had the wrong language translation set when creating the password, then the only logical other language it might use would be the installer's default language which is usually en_US, so adding that as a temporary keyboard language now *may* allow you to correctly type the *old* password to unlock the keyring. Then change keyboard languages back to the regular one, and enter the *new* password16:21
srslyidontsuckTJ-: *nods*16:22
datnigdoes anyone know why xinput_calibrator will not respond to my touches? the touchscreen appears to be working just not calibrated16:22
srslyidontsuckTJ-: It's a good theory, but yes, I switch'd over as you said to EN_US the standard layout for testing purposes. Feed in the password as above stated. but nu. nothing.16:22
TJ-srslyidontsuck: Grrr!  ... is this a fresh install with no user data yet? if so it may be simpler to recreate the keyring16:23

srslyidontsuck"Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ instead of ~/.local/share/keyrings/"16:28
pragmaticenigmanerium, you would have to use CURL to achieve what you're trying to do... but it's possible the server doesn't support partial downloads which is why that is failing16:28
neriumEriC^^: It’s a web server16:28
TJ-srslyidontsuck: "If the password is not known: right mouse click and delete for resetting."16:28

pragmaticenigmanerium, streams work differently than standard file serving (or typical web page loads) they usually have some under lying protocol like RTSP to stream audio and/or video...16:31
TJ-srslyidontsuck: Yes, that's what you're doing... with the new user password as the unlock key16:31
neriumpragmaticenigma: Not in this case. It’s plain http16:32
TJ-RTSP is a control protocol; stream will be using something else, maybe RTP or HTTP16:32
pragmaticenigmanerium, HTTP doesn't support streaming... you might be going to a web page to view... but the video/audio is being streamed to a plugin using a different protocol16:33

TJ-BBLLCC: it might be that giving the kernel acpi_os_name="..." with one of the Windows names might help, you'd need to know which name that firmware answers to, though17:55
BBLLCCTJ-, you are talking about editing a line kernel acpi_os_name=windowsxp <?17:56

burmphbishops, Name the wifi hardware info and what you have done to get it work, originally, IE drivers a wrapper....etc, for the channel.18:03
burmphwe just need some details is all18:04
bishopsburmph: it always worked, it just sometimes it doesn't connect after a wake up from sleep or a change of connection. I already tried to find the problem with some guys here a few days ago but then I didn't have the problem so we couldn't see it in the /var/log/syslog file18:05

TJ-OerHeks: when the bugs have been fixed that cause 12.04 crashes18:06
TJ-OerHeks: I've been using it on 14.04 from the mozilla-team PPA ... it's got several regressions over 3818:07
OerHeksThank you, TJ- so i better wait for 40?18:07
burmphbishops, Cool, that is more info that may help, not sure myself, my guess is just a signal strength issue, linux is a bit weak here, a guess however.18:07
bishopsburmph: Ok thanks, i'm not sure that's the problem as I'm close to the router, that's my home connection.18:08
TJ-OerHeks: I'm not sure... I keep on with 39, though not sure what extras it brought :)  My main issue is on every startup it apologies that it crashed on last quit, and I have to approve it reopening the saved tabs. Does this across every profile I have18:08
bishopsburmph: I'm thinking maybe there is a problem with the wireless app18:09
burmphbishops, Have you accessed the router and checked the signal level?18:09
TJ-OerHeks: I've also had it fail to play most HTML5 video, crashes the browser within a few seconds on Youtibe for example18:09
bishopsburmph: but it does not only happen in my house, it happens on several connections18:09
TJ-OerHeks: that last could be due to me using very recent ffmpeg/avconv libraries though18:10
burmphbishops, Hopefully others can get you all fixed, not sure here, sorry.18:10
bishopsburmph: my phone connects with no problem, and obviously phones have weaker receptors..18:10
bishopsburmph: no worries thank you!18:10
burmphbishops, The only thing I would say here, is be careful with confirmation bias, be sure your conclusions are fact based is all, if not word accordingly. ;)18:11

burmphbishops, Your fine, your in the right place for help. ;)18:15
pragmaticenigmabishops, more than 518:16
bishopspragmaticenigma: yes then18:16
pragmaticenigmabishops, I would start by removing all the networks you seldom connect to18:16
AqDis there any hardware sensor indicator for 15.04??18:18
pragmaticenigmabishops,  each time the card loses power... the computer has to go through that entire list and try to find an AP that works... if the list is very long, it could take a while. Also if any of those networks are in close proximity to your home... it might be trying to connect to that network instead of your home network18:18
burmph!lm-sensors | AqD18:19
ubottuAqD: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions.18:19
bishopspragmaticenigma: alright, I have just kept two. home and office connections.. :)18:19
burmphAqD, I use a conky to read the sensors18:19
burmpherr show*18:19
pragmaticenigmabishops, it's also best security practice to remove old ones so you are less likely to connect to rouge access points18:20
bishopspragmaticenigma: One question, when I connect to office one, there may be a whole protocol that is different from other connections (it's a university), so I'm wondering if this was the beginning of the mess?18:20

* AqD googles18:22
burmphAqD, In the repos, and 1000's of custom scripts on the net.18:22
burmphAqD, There is a thread at the ubuntu forum with tons of scripts.18:23
AqDburmph: thx!18:23
pragmaticenigmabishops, what's unique about the office connection?18:23
bishopspragmaticenigma: i just closed the lid of the laptop and reopened it and it connected at lightning speed so maybe we solved the issue18:23
burmphAqD, No problem, you can have a cool one.18:23
bishopspragmaticenigma: it has a certificate protocol of some sort that I had to manually set up, but forget it18:24
pragmaticenigmabishops, awesome! If it should start doing that again, you could remove the office connection. It comes down to a process of elimination18:24
bishopspragmaticenigma: and next step just stop going to office, that would be great! :)18:25
pragmaticenigmabishops, if only!18:25
bishopspragmaticenigma: by the way I have another problem that is really bugging me. my webcam and one of my usb port is not working. Now the thing is they were working before i re-installed not long ago ubuntu 14.04. So i'm sure they are fine, I just don't understand why they stop working. Some people said the hardware is damaged but it is hard to believe because nothing happened in the meantime. any ideas?18:26

bishopsburmph: sorry what does it mean? how to do this?18:27
rubickone of my ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS servers is running kernel 3.16. I think it "should" be running 3.13. Should I roll back, and how would I do so?18:28
pragmaticenigmabishops, he means use one of the Live CDs or Flash a USB drive with the Live version of Ubuntu... then test your camera18:28
burmphbishops, Boot the live iso download used for installing, in a usb or dvd.18:28
burmphrubick, If you installed as 14.04.2 you have the 3.1618:29
BBLLCCsorry TJ- i had to take a mini nap18:29
pragmaticenigmarubick, is there any particular reason you want to run a potentially vulnerable version of the kernel?18:29
BBLLCCbut im back18:29
bishopsburmph: oh ok, so i run ubuntu from the usb and see if on it these ports work18:29
rubickI thought patches were backported to the older kernels. Maybe I don't understand ubuntu's OS-to-kernel versioning.18:30
burmphrubick, Read carefully, not for up or down in your kernel's, just info. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack18:30
Bashing-omrubick: If the original ionstall with the -16 kernel is 14.04.2 then it is (H)ard (W)are (E)enablement . As it usese the next generation kernel and xserver .18:30

Guest59680Proves how new I am to unix and even IRC for that matter, well I've been following online guides and setting up an ubuntu lamp stack web server at home for fun/practice and I did something real dumb. I accidentally changed permissions on /var and it screwed a bunch of things up. I found a "fix" for it but I am concerned about my servers future security. Would it be better in the long run to just reinstall everything and start over?18:42
Guest59680I read somewhere that what I ignorantly did was a BIG NO-NO18:42
pragmaticenigmaGuest59680, did you run chmod?18:43
Guest59680yes18:43
BBLLCCTJ-, i dont know what to di with thatinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843051/18:43
TJ-BBLLCC: Reading the AML I'd guess the best selection would be "Windows 2001.1"18:43

pragmaticenigmaGuest59680, there is a way to fix it in place though18:44
bishopsi just tried to restart the system and launch ubuntu from disk and yes my webcam works and my usb port so what's going on!18:45
Guest59680pragmaticenigma: Okay, I believe that I have already done so then, because sudo is working, and everything seems fine.18:45
BBLLCCTJ-, ok, so now, where do I need to paste "kernel acpi_os_name=Windows 2001.1" ?18:45
ioriaGuest59680,  you can paste  ls -al /var  on paste.ubuntu.com  for starters18:45

bishopsburmph: i hope that I don't have to reinstall everything now..18:46
pragmaticenigmaioria, Guest59680 likely ran "chmod -R 777 /var"18:46
MonkeyDust777, ouch18:46
ioriaGuest59680,  you used -R ?18:47
Guest59680ioria and pragmaticenigma: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843122/18:47
TJ-BBLLCC: reboot, hold Shift down to get GRUB menu, highlight the boot entry and press 'E' to edit it... navigate to the line beginning "linux ..." navigate to the end of the line and add "  acpi_os_name="Windows 2001.1"  " then press F10 to boot with that option. Once booted try a shutdown and see if it powers off correctly. If it does, you can add that setting permanently to "/etc/default/grub" and its GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX string, and then do "sudo update-grub" to a18:47
TJ-dd that to GRUB's boot config.18:47
Guest59680ioria: Yes, I used -R . A LOT. I'm a moron =[18:47
MonkeyDustGuest59680  no, you're a beginner, that's not the same18:48
BBLLCCholies18:48
Guest59680MonkeyDust: ;) thanks friend!18:48
pragmaticenigmaMonkeyDust, you wouldn't believe the number of sites saying you should set the permission to 777 for your webserver folder18:48
ioriammm... seems you changed only www ....18:48
pragmaticenigmaMonkeyDust, instead of properly adding the user to the www-data group which is way easier18:49
Guest59680ioria: good, then if it seems that way perhaps Keyodake's answer worked (http://askubuntu.com/questions/548395/accidentally-overwrote-permissions-on-var-lib-recursively)18:50
ioriaGuest59680,  can you paste ls -al /var/log too ?18:50
MonkeyDustpragmaticenigma  yes, but chmod 777 is 'fast n easy'18:50
BBLLCCTJ-, if this works, does it mean im gonna have to manually edit every kernel upgrade?18:50
TJ-BBLLCC: no, if it works and you add it to "/etc/default/grub" that setting will be attached to every kernel entry every time a new kernel is installed and GRUB reconfigured18:51

Guest59680<pragmaticenigma>: oh yeah I gauruntee that I ran "chmod -R 777 /var"18:53
ioriaGuest59680,  yep, a little mess, i think18:53
Guest59680<ioria>: = / , would you reinstall if you were me? I mean, it took me like 15 hours to setup what I have so far, but it was a learning process so I bet I could do it muchhhh faster if I had to do it again18:54
ioriaGuest59680,  really don't know... owners seem ok, just the rwx stuff18:55
ioriaGuest59680,  what's not working , exactly ?18:56
Guest59680<ioria>: Well, everything seems like it is working fine. I read somewhere that what I did changed permissions on many many files, and that it could pose serious security threats and vulnerabilities. I have a gut feeling that I will regret it down the road if I don't do a clean install.18:57
sirsomewhatFancyWell, this could pose a security issue, but it doesn't sound like it would be grounds for a reinstall even if that were the case.18:57
ioriaGuest59680,  that's true.  but why did you change the permissions ?18:57
SCHAAP137chmod 777 is bad18:58
sirsomewhatFancyYes.18:58
SCHAAP137don't ever do that again18:58
sirsomewhatFancyBut unless you are logging on to every public wifi network within 10 miles, it shouldn't be TOO big a problem.18:58
sundoseGuest59680 permission bug work if you create an app with a bug18:58
sirsomewhatFancyIt just means extra care is required.18:58
Guest59680<ioria>: I was frustrated with my website showing 403 Forbidden, and was trying every solution I could find, probably not the brightest Idea.18:59
sirsomewhatFancySo to be clear, are these files everything in / (root folder) or just somewhere in your home folder?18:59

=== caio is now known as crv
ioriaGuest59680,  as you said it was for learning18:59
sirsomewhatFancyThe quickest way is to purge the server and reinstall.18:59
sirsomewhatFancyThat's if it were for education.19:00
Guest59680<sirsomewhatFancy>: I believe just /var I don't think I messed with root. and ^^ that's what I was thinking, reinstall.19:00
SCHAAP137chmod 777 should be considered an extremely temporary last resort, in case of a real emergency, with people almost dying unless a piece of data is accessed19:00
sirsomewhatFancySo to be clear, you changed everything in /var in order to fix a server bug?19:00
sundosechmod 777 not equal chmod a+x19:00
Guest59680<ioria>: I did some commands like "sudo -i chmod -Rf 755 /var/lib" and it fixed the sudo issues, but I just don't feel like it was a "Fix all"19:01

SCHAAP137and pbly others too19:04
sirsomewhatFancyMy suggestion is to re-install the kernel and check to see if any of the file permissions have changed. I have no clue whether this will work, but that will take care of some of the worst damage that could have happened.19:05
Guest59680ioria: I understand, well you have been a tremendous help friend! I have decided to go ahead and reinstall and start over! Good learning experience I suppose!19:05
sirsomewhatFancyGuest59680, I think that just reinstalling packages as needed for security (openssl, gnutls, kernel, anything that deals with networking) should do the trick.19:06

MeMeMemy bad, its the third edition. The specs on the website say: Bluetooth® 4.0, 802.11 A/C WiFi19:32
MonkeyDustSparchitect  then use server, but mind: it's an installer, not a live session19:32
sirsomewhatFancySparchitect, if you want a desktop-less install, that's what you should go for. Be prepared to switch back though ;)19:32
dannatois intel but is very old 200719:33
dannatothe problem is that is old maybe19:33
rypervencheMeMeMe: The command that I sent you will give us the information we need to proceed. :)19:33
sirsomewhatFancyMeMeMe, That still doesn't answer the question too well. In each generation, there are many sub models. They all have 802.11 A/C, etc. If you can find the exact model number of the card, that would be very helpful. Again, like rypervenche said, run sudo lspci -nn | grep Network in a terminal, and paste the output here and we can help.19:33
SparchitectMonkeyDust & sirsomewhatFancy: Bah, okay cool, I'm going with desktop then ;] thanks again!19:34
ioriaMeMeMe, you have to run sudo lcpci -nn | grep Network in terminal and paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com  and give us the url19:34
sirsomewhatFancydannato: it just sounds out of date. Sometimes a lighter system helps, like using lubuntu instead of Xubuntu. I know that this is an Ubuntu discussion, but that computer may need Puppy Linux or something similar to run smoothly with video.19:34

somefancydannato: Puppy Linux is another linux distrubution. The whole thing fits into about 200 megabytes and is extremely efficent on older hardware.19:38
bubbasauresanonymous, Say hello to the NSA as you ask this, and break the channel topic.19:38
dannatothank you good evening soo much19:39
somefancydannato: I am running it right now on an '03 Dell Inspiron 6000 and it is a big speed boost for those older ones big distros can't do. That said, it's confusing and not best for someone inexperienced. So, if you are not comefortable reading the text on screen for a while, stick with Ubuntu stuff!19:40
tewardis there an easy way to tell what init system is in place, whether it's sysvinit, systemd, or upstart, on a system in a one-liner?19:40
somefancydannato: but yes, all the instructions are on screen usually.19:40
somefancyteward: look at how to enable and disable services. They all do this differently.19:40
rawm@anonymous Seriously, if you want to learn how to "hack" no one has the time to do all that. Thats quite a huge order your placing. Buy some books or take some classes.19:41
tewardsomefancy: that's not why i need to know?19:42

BBLLCCcan anyone please check if this looks fine. And, what do I do with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/19:43
somefancyteward: each of these has their own system for services. Checking which one will tell you which init scripts you are using and the like which tells you whether you are using systemd, upstart, etc.19:43
ioriateward    something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart19:44
somefancyioria teward that looks good, but it will not work if there's sysvinit because it doesn't check for that.19:45
somefancyioria teward that is almost it, but it would call that upstart.19:45
ioriajust add it :-)19:45
Bashing-omteward: Maybe something like ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' ?19:45
somefancyioria, unfortunately I don't quite know how systemv works.19:46
tewardsomefancy: if theres nothing returned from the command, then its safe to assume sysvinit19:46
tewardi think19:46
ioriateward    something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart || echo something else19:46
somefancyBashing-om, already suggested.19:46
Bashing-omsomefancy: Yeah, I slow on the uptake. yuk .19:46
somefancyteward, if it's not systemd, it says upstart. The or will not work without another test.19:46

TJ-BBLLCC: However, it may need to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="  'acpi_os_name=Windows 2001.1'  "  - the quotes surround the entire option here... this may be the way the kernel needs to see it, since it reads its command line and splits arguments at spaces.

BBLLCCok, thx20:16
TJ-BBLLCC: Are you saying that the setting has fixed your shutdown power-off issue?20:16

somefancyAqD Try kubuntu-desktop, it's a full desktop environment20:18
AqDsomefancy, not really but nvidia's driver had always been reliable and fast20:18
AqDsomefancy, can I just switch to kde on ubuntu, without having to install  kubuntu??20:19
somefancyAqD That will install the base apps too and ubuntu optimizations for Kubuntu. And the reliable and fast argument is true. Maybe they just haven't updated it yet? I'm using 14.04 for oss support of my AMD HD 4700, maybe that is your best option too?20:19
somefancyAqD look for a package called kubuntu-desktop and install it. This will leave your system intact and install KDE.20:19
AqDI see! thx!20:20
TJ-AqD: if it seems slower are you positive the nvidia driver is actually in use, rather than software rendering? "glxinfo | grep 'direct rendering'  " should tell you20:20

guest5000thnx somefancy20:37
pushpopcan't find any good ones20:37
TJ-AqD: that's fine. If you have high CPU it means the VDPAU isn't being used. That means either 1) the player software is not using VDPAU, or 2) the video is encoded with some algorithm that the VDPAU interface doesn't support. Fro that, check the "Decoder capabilities" section20:38

guest5000MTP and MSC20:41
somefancyguest5000 the home folder is usually not where that shows up. Try MSC.20:41
TJ-AqD if the problem is that videos are decoded using VDPAU (test with vlc) but the system compositor isn't using VDPAU then there's some configuration option or system-settings disabling it20:41
guest5000I dont have any specific file manager20:42
somefancyguest5000 MTP is Media Transfer Protocol, which is designed for advanced computers to interface with a pc without the need to safely eject. MSC is Mass Storage Card, which trys to emulate a flash drive as closely as possible. If one doesn't work, try the other.20:42

somefancyguest5000 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newfolderhere is the syntax20:49
BrianHunity-tweak-tool lets me hide it, but I have to push the mouse to the edge to reveal it.  Not practical with a touch screen.  Is there something different I can do?20:50
somefancycarif this sounds like a bad install. Without having ever tried Snappy I can't tell you what to do next but if you don't have anything in there, try reinstalling? again, not familiar with the procedure yet.20:51
TJ-carif: could the password be empty?20:51
carifsomefancy, sure, I'll try downloading a new image and try again20:51
somefancyBrianH unfortunately, I don't think so. Ubuntu was originally made with the end of making it touch friendly, but that doesn't provide any more provisions than what's in CCSM. Sorry!20:52
somefancyBrianH or Unity Tweak Tool, that is essentially the same as using CCSM.20:52
BrianHsomefancy, just figured it out.  4 finger swipe will open it.20:53
BrianHhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch ... cool stuff! :)20:54
somefancyBrianH Cool! I don't have a touchscreen computer, but I have one in the mail, that's really good to know!20:54

bishopsHi all, I trying to solve a headache of a problem, my webcam and one of my usb port stopped working ever since I've reinstalled ubuntu 14.04 (it was installed before and everything perfectly working) on my laptop. I tried to boot from usb and all works perfectly so there is something wrong with the way my current system detects these ports. any ideas of how to get the system to recognize them?21:14
bubbasauresbishops, Try the guest account now, you have tried the live everything worked, include that info.21:14
bishopsbubbasaures: ok will try now.21:15
=== |nv|s|b|e is now known as Johnny_Linux
bishopsbubbasaures: well in guest account it does not recognize webcam also21:16
daftykinsbishops: also try powering off, removing the mains + battery, holding the power button for 10 seconds in this state, then powering back up after putting the battery back in21:17
bishopsdaftykins: the battery is built-in. what do you mean by "mains"?21:18
daftykinsmains power... outlet power... the place what the sparky stuff comes from!21:18
daftykinssome of those laptops have a pin insert to detach the battery temporarily21:18
* bubbasaures grounds themselves21:19

daftykinspperanzola_: use your status window in future :)21:19
Jordan_Upperanzola_: Change your password now.21:19
lukscurseSomeone please explain to me why this setup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843984/ doesn't request a password for /dev/sdd2 (/tmp) on boot, but some how magically decrypts it and mounts it just fine without one?21:19
daftykinsno you're all wrong as usual - it's a verification link not a password.21:20
bishopsdaftykins: the only way i can remove this battery I think will involve a screwdriver and opening to motherboard...21:20
pperanzola_:)21:20
TJ-bishops: I'd check "/var/log/dmesg" when it fails to recognise the camera; there's a probably a driver or firmware problem21:20
bubbasaurespperanzola_, no space21:20

bishopsTJ-: how to check? when I launch my system from usb with ubuntu on it camera works21:21
bishopsdaftykins: sorry but I'm not sure I understand how to do that21:21
TJ-bishops: boot the PC normally, if the camera isn't working, show us the log wilth "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg"21:21
daftykinsbishops: look up the manual.21:21
bishopsdaftykins: What manual? I've had this laptop for 3 years..21:22
TJ-lukscurse: I bet you're using the same LUKS passphrase on multiple volumes, and another volume has already been decrypted using it. It was cached for reuse21:22
bubbasauresbishops, Manuals are onpine21:22
bubbasaureson line*21:22
bishopsdaftykins: meaning that I'm not sure I'll find the manual :)21:22
bishopsok I'll try TJ- 's suggestion first..21:23

daftykinsbishops: it'll be on the manufacturer site fine if you look hard enough21:23
zubHi. I'm reporting a bug in 15.4. After upgrade something broke. Should I add "regression-update" or some other tag to the report? Or should I just not add it and leave it to those who understand it?21:23
bishopsTJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/21:23
lukscurseTJ-: that's a new one to me, cause on arch when i set up drives like this it requested each time even though it was the same pass21:23
lukscurseTJ-: is that an ubuntu thing or what?21:24
TJ-lukscurse: if you're prompted for the passphrase during startup, I'd guess possibly twice? (once in the initrd to mount the root-FS, and possibly again for the first of the other volumes).21:24
lukscurseTJ-:  yeah root and sdd2 have the same encryption algorithm, key size, and pass phrase21:24

CryptoSiDHi, I have a weird problem!!! I installed kubuntu-plasma5-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso using a usb disk, it booted fine, 0 problem, but after installation im unable to boot the ubuntu on my disk, nor to boot the usb key anymore?!21:25
CryptoSiDStarting uuid generator uuidd /etc/rc2.d/S02sddm: 4 ,: Can't open /lib/init/init-d-script saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned21:25
CryptoSiDim seeing this21:25
savino__oeps error sorry21:25
bishopsdaftykins: ok just watched a video on how to remove the battery. it involves a screw driver as I thought it would :)21:26
Jordan_UCryptoSiD: Why were you installing 14.10 instead of 15.04?21:26
bubbasaureszub, I would let them tag it probably21:26
lukscurseTJ-: here's my second issue... if i uncomment the lines for sdd1 in crypttab and fstab there in my paste, when i reboot the screen flickers a few times and says it can't load the graphics or some such issue, and i have to boot to the live cd and mount root and comment them back. any idea what's causing that?21:26
daftykinsbishops: ok but i didn't really suggest that, so - i am not to blame ^_^21:26
OerHeks14.10 will go EOL this month21:26
zubbubbasaures: m'kay, thx21:26
daftykinsyay death to 14.10 \o/21:26
bishopsdaftykins: haha no i'm not blaming!21:26
CryptoSiDJordan_U cause im unable to find 15.04 with kde 5?21:27
bishopsdaftykins: but can someone check the pastebinit of /var/log/dmesg to see if there is something wrong with drivers or if it tells us anything about these ports?21:27
lukscurseTJ-: it's for /var, but i also live cd'ed in chrooted and cp -r'ed all the stuff over to the encrypted part and reenabled it and it does the same thing21:27
daftykinsbishops: did you paste one yet?21:28
CryptoSiDok got it:D21:28
CryptoSiDgonna try21:28
lukscurseTJ-:  i rm -rf'ed the encrypted /var mount first21:28
bishopsdaftykins:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/21:28
CryptoSiDkubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso this is with kde plasma 5 by default right?21:29
CryptoSiDno need to update?21:29
TJ-lukscurse: There are known mount races with cryptdisks-udev21:29
bekksCryptoSiD: Of course you should run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade;21:29
OerHeksKubuntu 15.04 comes with Plasma 5.2.21:29
lukscurseTJ-: how do i try to fix it?21:29
TJ-lukscurse: I have a couple of encrypted LVM VGs, and so I don't need individual LVs/fil-systems unlocking21:29
CryptoSiDgreat21:30
CryptoSiD5.3 i think:)21:30
OerHeksafter update, yes.21:30
CryptoSiDwhatever as long as its plasma 5.? im happy21:30
savino__oeps error sorry21:30
CryptoSiDgreat hope it'll work with 15.0421:30
lukscurseTJ-: so if i had an lvm luks for root and another for /tmp and var together, this probably wouldn't be occuring?21:30
Jordan_UCryptoSiD: Then please see if you can successfully boot from a Kubuntu 15.04 LiveUSB, and if you can then you might as well just install 15.04 from there.21:31
OerHeksCryptoSiD, there is also #kubuntu here on freenode :-)21:31
daftykinsbishops: hmm i bet you get a little stall at boot with error messages instead of a rapid boot huh?21:32
TJ-lukscurse: that kind of config, yes. You'd need to look at the cryptsetup cryptdisk init scripts to understand the precise mechanics of the startup. The main thing to remember is that 'mountall' launches many parallel processes to do all the mounts, and that is where the race comes in (this is done to speed up boot-times)21:32
bishopsdaftykins: possible why?21:32
daftykinsbishops: i just saw the errors in the dmesg log is all, easily rectified. USB issues at line 67821:33
lukscurseTJ-: thanks for the help21:33
bishopsdaftykins: oh really what to do21:33
daftykinsbishops: which model Lenovo is this? can you visit the site and check for EFI/BIOS updates? it says you're on v22.3121:33
daftykins*v2.3121:33
daftykinsor 2.5621:34
bishopsdaftykins: but how do we explain that it works if i boot from usb?21:34
daftykinsbishops: older kernel21:35
daftykinsyou've no doubt updated since21:35
TJ-bishops: there a a few PCI bus device errors there preventing some devices from initialising. I'd guess one of the is the USb controller the camera is connected to21:35
daftykinsbishops: in fact make sure you've done a good dist-upgrade21:36
TJ-bishops: you've added manual options to the kernel command-line that is interferring: "pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq "21:36
TJ-daftykins:  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^21:36
bishopsTJ-: ooh how to change that21:37
TJ-bishops: "acpi=noirg" is probably the big problem21:37
bishopsdaftykins: can you explain more about bios update and kernel?21:37
daftykinsTJ-: ah good spot, i should've seen that21:37
bishopsTJ-: how to change that? I did fiddle with the bios at some point i remember, but just to get the usb to be bootable21:37
TJ-bishops: Remove that option from "/etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and then "sudo update-grub"21:37
daftykinswhy not remove them as a one time boot test to start with21:38
daftykinsmight be a reason they're there21:38
bishopsTJ-: i just delete it you mean?21:38
TJ-bishops: No,you remove "acpi=noirq " from where-ever you have set it in that file21:38
bishopsTJ-: please can you type explicitly how to do it in terms of command lines? I'm really an amateur in this..21:39
bishopsTJ-: oh in the file it says at some point "acpi=noirq quiet"21:39
TJ-bishops: you can also remove "i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" seeing as the i915 driver doesn't support that option: "[    2.637241] i915: unknown parameter 'i915_enable_rc6' ignored"21:39
bishopsTJ-: should i delete these sentences? how to proceed?21:40
TJ-bishops: remove those options only, nothing else21:40
bishopsTJ-: the line says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq quiet splash"21:41
bishopsTJ-: should i just erase i915 etc and acpi=noirq ?21:41
TJ-bishops: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" pcie_aspm=force quiet splash"21:41
TJ-bishops: Not sure if you need ASPM forcing but I assume you put it there for a good reason :)21:42
bishopsTJ-: no i haven't put anything anywhere! :) should i remove?21:42
TJ-bishops: Well, those options don't get added automatically21:42
bishopsTJ-: did all this get into this file because I fiddled with the bios you think?21:42
TJ-bishops: No, the file has to be edited to add them21:43
bishopsTJ-: ooooh i know when i put those. some forum told me it's good for battery life21:43
TJ-bishops: users!! :P21:43
TJ-bishops: after you've saved the file do "sudo update-grub" and then it should be fixed21:44
daftykinsmakes me wonder how the install got done with those parameters21:44
daftykinsfollowed a bad guide perhaps?21:44
bishopsTJ-: so should i remove also quiet splash?21:45
bishopsTJ-: maybe quiet splash can help with battery life? :)21:45
TJ-bishops: No! only remove the settings I told oyu to21:45
bishopsTJ-: but you weren't sure about pcie_aspm=force, should i remove it too?21:46
TJ-bishops: That option is forcing the kernel to use PCI Active State Power Management - I'm guessing you have that to help with battery life21:47
bishopsTJ-: ok so keep?21:47
TJ-bishops: Yes. If the current changes don't cure the missing camera issue you can remove that setting later and try the camera again21:47
bishopsTJ-: ok will restart the system as camera still not working21:48
TJ-bishops: The kernel will use ASPM if the hardware claims to support it, so by forcing it in some circumstances can cause problems. That means the pcie_aspm *might* be the cause of the missing camera, but is less likely. I'm more confident acpi=noirq is the problem21:49
bishopsTJ-: it worked!21:50
bubbasaureswoot21:50
TJ-bishops: Yes, I thought it would. No more tinkering without expert advise!21:50
bishopsTJ-: thanks a lot, but can you explain to me what we did in plain english? What were these options in the first place? even my reboot was lightning speed.21:51
bishopsTJ-: and also did these options affect battery life in any way?21:52
TJ-bishops: IRQ == Interrupt ReQuest ... that is when hardware asks the CPU to do something for it. You disabled that, so some devices couldn't get the CPU to do anything for them21:53
TJ-bishops: I'd think that could affect battery life because the devices couldn't be put into lower power modes21:54
bishopsTJ-: so the IRQ thing was forcing it to go in lower power modes?21:55
TJ-bishops: No, probably the opposite21:55
bishopsTJ-: oh interesting, so basically it was sabotage! :021:55
bishopsTJ-: in any case, thanks a lot for your help!21:57

gardijneHi guys,22:44
gardijneI have been struggling with this issue for some time and now decided that I need external help.22:44
gardijneI have a DD-WRT router setup and running. The router is connected to my ISP. The extrnal IP appears under vlan2 when I run ifconfig.22:44
gardijneIn addition to that, I have set up a VPN connection (via PPTP but OpenVPN should also work). It appears on ifconfig as ppp0 with an address such as 10.1.1.1 (this changes frequently, however).22:44
gardijneThe VPN conncts me to a service in a foreign country that I cannot use in my home country. In need this service only at one (and only one) device: my Nintendo Wii U. There is no way to say the Wii to run over VPN.22:44
gardijneSo I need to ROUTE all traffic running from/to a dedicated IP address of the Wii to go through the ppp0.22:44

allizomHi people. I'm looking for a virtualization solution for a classroom, I need to run, one at a time, multiple instances of Ubuntu (or one of its flavors) guests on a Ubuntu (again, prefix it with l, x, etc.) host. I'd prefer not to give root access to the students, so it should not be required in order to just run the VM (it can be for setup). I don't need extreme performances, but it has not to be too sluggish. Also I'd prefer to have a management GUI.23:05
allizomWhat should I be looking at (no Virtualbox)? Thanks23:05
daftykinsallizom: how big are your classes?23:06
allizomabout 25 students each23:06
daftykinsallizom: i have been in this situation before, if you work with your IT department they may have sufficient licensing to have 'free' access to create and operate a Microsoft Hyper-V server (not my personal preference) or - VMWare ESX is free on a yearly basis for educational uses.23:07
TJ-allizom: Thats what qemu/kvm + libvirt + virtual machine manager (GUI) do23:08
daftykinsallizom: you're going to have to have quite the beefy system to drive 25 at once23:08
allizomdaftykins: hm, was looking for a free "as in freedom" solution. also I said one at a time23:08
daftykinsah, why one at a time o023:09
daftykinsallizom: sure you can do it that way, but you'll probably just be making life harder for yourself. why not just have a spare old system and boot live sessions from a flash drive?23:09
allizomTJ-: I read about qemu/kvm/vmm, but can I avoid to give root access?23:10

TJ-allizom: If you don't need a full virtualised machine libvirt also supports LXC (containers) and has GUI setup wizards to help23:14
danshinsomeone know how to creat a bootable pendrive in linux?23:15
allizomTJ-: I will surely look at that too, but can you please tell me something more about the libvirt way? should I add the VM users in some group?23:16
daftykinsdanshin: yes, both command line and GUI options exist23:16
daftykinsdanshin: do you have an ISO downloaded ready? and flash drive plugged in?23:17
TJ-allizom: no. each user can start Virtual Machine Manager and use its GUI to start/stop and access its 'screen'23:17
danshinyes23:17
daftykinsdanshin: 1) identify the drive device name with "sudo parted -l" in a terminal (e.g. /dev/sdb) 2) run "sudo dd if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M" (where sdX is the letter you found out in 1)23:17
mekhamialrighty.23:18
sehnsuchtI just installed vmware player 7 on ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit and it just took about 15 mins to come up. it takes about 1 or 2 when running same vm on the same machine under windows 7.  cpu was maxing out both in the host and on ubuntu, and everything was hanging for up to a minute at a time.23:18
sehnsuchtis there something i need to do to make it a lot faster?23:19
daftykinssehnsucht: can't help with proprietary software in here really.23:19
daftykinsrun it in a terminal and look for errors perhaps23:19
daftykinssounds like VT isn't working quite right23:19
TJ-allizom: see "apt-cache show virt-manager" for the GUI23:20
danshindaftkins: when i do this code, nothing happening '-'. just jump a on terminal23:20
allizomTJ-: that's good. you know, I asked here because there are just too many options with virtualization and I wanted a quick heads up before I invest time into a particular solution. I will inform myself about the virt-manager and LXC then. Thanks23:21
danshindaftkins: 3064541184 bytes (3,1 GB) copied, 23,9636 s, 128 MB/s my file have 4gb23:21
daftykinsdanshin: what code?23:21
danshindaftykins: sudo dd if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=2M23:21
daftykinsdanshin: yeah you won't see any output until the above result23:22
daftykinsit does not give feedback23:22
daftykinsdanshin: this is actually Windows huh? this approach won't work23:22
danshindaftykins: root@danshin-Satellite-M645:/home/danshin# sudo dd if=/home/danshin/Downloads/debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sdv1 bs=2M23:22

Tophhey yocapybara23:22
daftykinsdanshin: ok i said /dev/sdX. not /dev/sdX123:22
daftykinsbut yeah this is not going to work for Windows ISOs, you needed to mention that :)23:23
cryptodan_laptopdanshin: you could get the progress if this http://askubuntu.com/questions/215505/how-do-you-monitor-the-progress-of-dd23:23
daftykinsi'd have explained dd progress but things complete fast enough these days ;)23:24
danshindaftykins: i'm trying to install debian  '-'23:24
daftykinsdanshin: ok so it's a 3GB debian DVD? be fine then - '/dev/sdv' doesn't sound quite right o023:24
daftykinsthat would mean it's your 22nd device23:25
danshindaftykins: my debian dvd have 4GB. And my pen drive 8GB23:25
daftykinsyeah that's not in question23:25
daftykinsdanshin: but you have to write to /dev/sdX, not /dev/sdX1 as you did above23:26
daftykinsdanshin: also don't use 'sudo' when you're already root23:26
j4ys33Anybody running 15.04 on XPS13? Just ordered one.23:28
danshindaftkins to i formate this pen drive i need to use "umount /dev/sdX"  and "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX" right?23:28
daftykinsdanshin: i'm telling you to run dd, which means you don't need to format, don't partition, don't do _anything_ else23:29
daftykinsjust run the command correctly as i have advised repeatedly and all will be fine23:30

ExecSlim!offtopic | j4ys3323:44
ubottuj4ys33: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!23:44
bubbasaureswfpkhc, unetbootin has not worked for awhile, try another usb loader and check the iso's sum.23:44
wfpkhci tried linuxpendrive but23:44
bubbasauresworked well anyway23:44
wfpkhcthat did the same thing23:44
wfpkhcwell the people last night recommended unetbootin on the ubuntu website documentation23:45
al2o3-crdoesn't unetbootin use syslinux?23:45
bubbasaureswfpkhc, May as simple as the nomodeset, it is a f6 first screen, original live boot, for choices23:45
bubbasauresbe*23:46
j4ys33Ubottu: does 15.04 not qualify as Ubuntu?23:46
ubottuj4ys33: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)23:46
wfpkhci will try that sir23:46
bubbasauresj4ys33, 15.04 is ubuntu, polling on your computer is offtopic is all.23:48
trun4rthI'll try and make this question simple. I am running the LTS ubuntu 14.x on this machine, dual booted with win8.1 (currently logged into) - I need to wrap the windows wireless driver because it isn't currently supported by ubuntu. I'm not a linux pro, but I can handle a computer and I'm at least comfortable. Following a guide, should this be pretty straight forward, or is there a ninja trick I can do?23:49
wfpkhcso what exactly do i type when i press f6?23:50
j4ys33Bubbasaures: understood. Thanks for the clarification. I'll move along.23:50
bubbasaures wfpkhc nothing you should see a nomodeset option.23:50
wfpkhck thank you sir23:50
OerHekstrun4rth, there is a guide for ndiswrapper, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper23:55
