[00:04] http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd [00:04] can someone look at this issue PLEASE [00:06] can anyone help with this http://superuser.com/questions/933146/ubuntu-15-04-not-loading-from-external-hard-drive-for-amd === nah is now known as Guest27397 === nicomachus is now known as nicomachus_ === nicomachus_ is now known as nicomachus [00:31] guys 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 off [00:32] any ideas? === Guest40 is now known as dash_ [00:33] lucas-arg, The cli your only choice here? [00:33] or a lifestyle? [00:34] ? [00:35] sudo apt-get install laptop-mode-tools ? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi=noirq quiet splash" ? [00:35] lucas-arg, You have to be specific if you do not understand, cli=terminal lifestyle is self explanatory, some want the termional always. [00:35] lucas-arg: he's asking if you're able to shut down by clicking the shut down button. [00:36] nicomachus, Real using terminal commands? [00:36] Really* [00:36] well... 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 reboots [00:36] lucas-arg, What happens if you click top right on the shutdown gui? [00:36] Is laptop-mode-tools installed? [00:36] nicomachus: i can do that... but thats not the correct way i guess... it does shutdown if i press it long time [00:37] burmph: it reboots... it doesnt shutdown [00:37] instead of powering off... the laptop reboots and comes back to boot [00:37] lucas-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] s/no/not [00:38] yeah... 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 work [00:38] nicomachus, Look when I came on. [00:38] ive tried editing grub with acpi=force etc and it does not do anything [00:38] nothing said about the gui since I've been here === harrison is now known as Guest92577 [00:39] he said "i try from unity or terminal" but let's move on. [00:40] nicomachus, Not clear enough, don't try to explain others, 'm not new here nor a newb. [00:41] lol, ok. you should work on your typing though. I'm out. Don't feel like dealing with pompous jerks today. [00:42] would it do anything if i force poweroff? poweroff -f? [00:44] Is there a way to blacklist a bad hop if it's giving you packet loss? [00:45] teaearlgraycold: #networking q that i think :> [00:45] Okay [00:45] likely try another DNS provider to avoid that route [00:45] Thanks === HoloIRCUser2 is now known as JCRABB === lasers is now known as lzrspw [01:11] no solution, cant turn my laptop off [01:11] ubuntu took over my laptop [01:12] Hi all - if wernerbu or anyone else who has been experiencing issues with the AWS EC2 mirror in EU West could join #ubuntu-mirrors, that would be appreciated. === mkv is now known as m4v [01:13] blahdeblah, Mirrors have issues on occasion, you can change it. [01:14] burmph: I work for Canonical, and I'm working on fixing the problem. :-) [01:14] burmph: yeeeah, well, Canonical employees tend to care more than others ;) [01:14] blahdeblah, Ah, best of luck. ;) [01:15] blahdeblah: isn't it amazons responsibility? [01:15] No, we run the mirrors [01:15] i see [01:16] guess we can't fob people off to amazon anymore then [01:19] Going to encrypt my ubuntu system. Is a complete reinstall the easiest way? [01:19] I know how to force trim in arch, but how do I do that in ubuntu when dm-crypt is used? [01:24] moobase, I only encrypt a couple of folder, but lvm is popular, it uses dm-crypt I believe, might be more leverage there. [01:27] burmph: 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? === Blaster is now known as Guest41556 [01:35] Hey Gang. How can I force reinstall CUPS and all it's dependencies? [01:36] Griz64: purge and install 'cups' [01:36] :> [01:37] daftykins, that's the proscribed 'best method'? [01:38] stop cups first [01:38] well you can look up an alternative online should you wish [01:38] i'd probably stop X and do it from a TTY too, if desktop [01:39] what's the best method for stopping X? [01:39] sudo service lightdm stop [01:39] (if unity) [01:40] no. kde. [01:40] err [01:40] whatever graphical greeter that one uses then [01:41] If 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] poz: what are these files? because that sounds unwise [01:41] wow. that took the machine to it's knees. :-( [01:42] Hi, I have dnscrypt-proxy installed in 12.10, but why I can't installed in current version 15? [01:42] Griz64: er no, it just runs CLI only to perform the task. [01:42] simples [01:43] some 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 problems [01:43] well presumably you're running the parent script as root [01:43] yes [01:43] but you'll be better off *being* root as opposed to using sudo [01:43] I am root [01:44] then you want to "chmod +x *" if you're in the folder with them [01:44] daftykins, 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] WPA2 personal, for the encryption [01:44] wow, KDE sounds like it has a terrible network manager [01:45] just start the service again and all will be well. [01:45] the * recursively goes though each file in the above folder structure and sets executable permissions? [01:45] poz: no, it hits all files in the current working directory [01:45] so you'd need to be inside Y [01:45] daftykins, 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+rwx [01:46] psusi: no because that'll do the parent too, and we're being careful here - not throwing caution to the wind [01:46] I might have gotten the path and permissions backwards there [01:46] check the man page ;) [01:46] ohh, you just want to change the permissions on the files, not the directory they are in? [01:47] daftykins, kdm is running again, albeit w/o network. isn't there some tool (nmtui) for CLI connections? [01:47] wow, read the damn query before you second guess next time [01:47] that is to say, both of those examples change the permissions on the *lower* directory to rwx as well for everyone, but not the higher directory [01:47] Griz64: sorry, one thing i won't be doing today is assisting a CLI wireless connection :) [01:47] reboot maybe. or if it's a laptop, plug in via wired temporarily [01:48] daftykins, that difficult in ()buntu? [01:48] i have never touched KDE to know [01:48] but 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 rare [01:48] lol lower and higher directory is subjective... is root directoer higher or lower? [01:48] higher. [01:48] going /down/down/deeper/and/deeper [01:48] root directory is highest by definition [01:49] lol 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] nope [01:49] yet I still do not get permissions... damn it, I ran into this problem before but I forget how to get around it. [01:50] alright show us an "ls -al | pastebinit" inside the path [01:55] daftykins, I sent it to you in another dialog window [01:55] indeed [01:55] oy thats a mess [01:56] did this come out of a zip or tar? [01:56] iso [01:59] poz: so essentially i think you need to give the folders back execute permissions for group and world [02:00] okay [02:00] why? [02:01] 'cause only the user can traverse the folders right now [02:02] two more questions, what do you mean by traverse and why does that matter if I am root? [02:03] enter - and it doesn't hurt to try so why not [02:03] well lets try it then, how do I do it? [02:04] oy. [02:04] is this a CLI machine or? [02:05] I prefer command line [02:06] i see, so it's forcing others to have you learn :P [02:06] is this really even the best way to install whatever this is? [02:06] it is the only way [02:07] I have a gui... [02:07] but nothing seems to work well that way [02:07] what's the program? [02:07] i mean i'm seeing a windows file in it :> [02:08] but I am running ubuntu 14.04 [02:08] !permissions [02:08] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [02:08] there we go! [02:09] so folders - rwxr-xr-x aka 755 === Will_ is now known as Guest31389 [02:09] files rwxr--r-- aka 744 === Guest41556 is now known as Blaster === pat_ is now known as Guest61278 === salvum is now known as salvum_away [02:20] I just don't get it though. I went one lever higher in the directory’s and then I went chmod 777 -R * [02:20] but it does not yet give me the permissions [02:21] Hi. [02:28] if someone can help, for some reason, whenever i try to apt-get anything it sits at 0% [02:28] but i have a connection [02:28] so i'm lost [02:29] TragicM3LON, If you have not modified the network access, change the repo. [02:29] i actually did modify the network [02:29] to use ipv6 [02:30] heh [02:30] sounds like you killed it [02:30] it does [02:30] lol [02:30] sec [02:31] so you have no connection [02:31] gonna reboot it [02:31] no i do [02:31] i can grab from git and what not [02:32] lol it's working now [02:32] reason 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 network [02:32] perhaps the mirror didn't have a v6 presence [02:33] mmm should all be auto [02:33] ya i didn't know that :( [02:37] is arch for your desktop computer a hassle compared to ubuntu? [02:38] you might learn a bit but it's essentially for the Linux equivalent of those that modify cars. [02:38] good analogy... [02:38] :D [02:38] ty [02:39] worth it? :3 [02:40] this is an ubuntu support channel, you may discuss ricing your OS in #linux or perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic [02:40] if you enjoy an OS that breaks all the time, go for it [02:40] hello, I got problem with how-can-i-help script [02:40] it shows me that file doesnt exists .cache/how-can-i-help/how-can-i-help.json.gz (Errno::ENOENT) [02:42] ok, found this https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787471 [02:42] Debian bug 787471 in how-can-i-help "how-can-i-help: does not start if ~/.cache/how-can-i-help/how-can-i-help.json.gz doesn't exist" [Grave,Fixed] [02:43] gordon_: did you try the solution there? [02:43] yes, it's working [02:43] so... [02:43] Could anyone here help me with my monitor setup I'm having issues with please? [02:44] not until you ask with detail [02:44] strange that this occurs [02:44] gordon_: it's a bug. bugs happen. === master is now known as Guest48262 [02:45] saludos...alguien de habla hispana? [02:45] bit puzzled you came in to say debian's fixed it [02:45] !es [02:45] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [02:45] whatta ya got sycrux [02:46] I'm running 3 monitors. 1 connected to a GTX 660 (HDMI) the other 2 are connected DVI to a GTX 460. [02:47] Using Ubuntu 15.04 [02:47] And 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] The HDMI will work if the other 2 are disabled and the other 2 will work if the HDMI is disabled. [02:48] daftykins, my impression is he found the bug report right after asking the question here. so answered his own question. [02:48] go inside the nvidia control panel to set up the monitors [02:48] so triple head ok on nouveau, bad on proprietary? [02:49] sounnds like you need to write some monitors configs for xorg [02:49] I've tried the CP with Nvidia countless times. But what is odd is that the HDMI monitor will turn on. [02:49] But just has a black X cursor. [02:49] ok thanks [02:50] Yet shows up as disabled under settings and xrandr [02:50] When I enable it, Same issue. Stays on and only shows cursor. [02:51] Sycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --base-mosaic" -- and restart. [02:51] Sycrux: Try "sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-logo --base-mosaic" -- and restart. [02:52] Okay I'll try that thank you. [02:54] daftykins, I was because I had it on a external hard drive. when I move it into my home dir, it works fine. [02:54] poz: ah, NTFS was it? [02:54] non POSIX file system = no permissions working [02:55] yes [02:56] oh dear [02:56] why not? is there a way around it? [02:56] it makes me so mad [02:56] yeah, don't put data on NTFS volumes [02:56] really? well get used to it [02:56] but that is the only way I can see it with my windows boot [02:57] poz: there are some windows applications that will allow you to view your linux directories. [02:57] so just remember to copy it next time [02:57] lol [02:57] i wouldn't recommend the above [02:57] +1 [02:58] Why do you say not to put data onto NTFS volumes? [02:58] Didn't work. Just disabled 2 monitors now. === marcus_ is now known as Guest52724 [02:59] put data on ext4 volumes if you prefer poz [02:59] Sycrux: Install arandr. You enabled base-mosaic. Let's see if you can turn them all on. [03:01] poz: if you expect it to run / permissions to work [03:01] static data like media is fine [03:01] oh okay, I see i see. I understand now [03:02] this 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 matter [03:03] don't count on it [03:03] and it's not compatible :) [03:03] lol [03:05] anyways, got to go. thank you for your help! [03:05] !pm | Sycrux [03:05] Sycrux: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [03:08] should I be blacklisting nouveau? [03:08] If you want to use nvidia, yes. Run "lsmod | grep \^n" to see what you're using right now. [03:10] nls_iso8859_1 and nvidia [03:10] I 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] How do I get the 10 and 12s up to 14, and not break everything? [03:11] wehre can I get libtcl8.4.so [03:11] and is there a sane way to admin them all, that's easier than all this one-at-a-time stuff? [03:12] Sycrux: Check /etc/modprobe.d/ (somewhere). It might be already blacklisted (by nvidia). Can't turn on all monitors with arandr either/ [03:12] clean install supported releases. [03:12] Sycrux: ?, not / [03:12] daftykins: you'd clean install the others? :/ [03:12] SuperLag: My tjouhgt, it is risky to on-line upgrade from 10.04 ( unity), consider a fresh install (??) . [03:12] the 10.04 for sure [03:12] what are these things used for? [03:14] daftykins: 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 them [03:14] Never done anything with CUDA, so this is going to be a learning experience [03:14] doesn't sound like too big a deal [03:15] which part? [03:15] the keeping stuff current? [03:15] get a spare disk and use clonezilla to image things up as-is before you try anything [03:15] hi all [03:15] but i think this is beyond the scope of volunteer support channels XD [03:16] Totally understood. [03:17] I don't see it being blacklisted under blacklist.conf [03:17] And no arandr won't work. Only showing 1 monitor the others are grayed out. [03:18] Ahh nvm I found it being blacklisted under a different file. My bad. [03:19] Sycrux: They're grayed out -- but that mean you can see them though... YOu try right-click and "Active" ? [03:19] (And to click "Apply") [03:20] No 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. [03:21] i know this is a weird question, is there a program or a way to purposefully waste bandwidth? [03:22] jwash: i make fake files using dd and then curl them from a httpd to waste bandwidth [03:22] neat [03:22] just dd /dev/random to a file [03:22] and wget that file [03:23] iwash: upload torrents of install isos using all your available upload bandwidth [03:23] it has to be from the internet, download [03:23] hmm, i'm just gonna download a bunch of isos for different flavors of ubuntu [03:23] we'll see how AT&T handles it [03:23] i 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 settings [03:24] jwash: whats the purpose? out of curiosity [03:24] i've been an AT&T unlimited customer for years [03:24] maybe hes trying to hit the bandwidtch cap [03:24] and see if he gets throttled [03:25] touche [03:25] yea [03:25] no more moderate usage for me [03:25] hehe [03:25] you can file fcc complaints about it jwash [03:25] whats your goal? [03:25] as in bandwidth use [03:25] to get my money's worth [03:26] haha [03:26] 10gb+ on cellular [03:26] oh thats easy [03:26] jwash: at&t will start paying attention to you when they see a fcc complaint [03:26] just stream espn or something all dayy [03:26] they've already lost against the FTC for the practice [03:26] now i want to see if i'm on a busy cell site [03:27] in hd for cellular, that will do about 7-8 gb per day [03:27] i don't pay for video service, on demand is too much effort lol [03:27] i can't stream linear [03:28] otherwise that would be the ticket [03:28] you cant stream content like that on your cell network? [03:29] sure you can with TV Everywhere access [03:29] but i don't subscribe to pay TV [03:29] TwitchTV? [03:29] there's an idea [03:29] youtube UHD? [03:30] netflix...? [03:30] too much work [03:30] on demand queuing [03:30] prime? [03:30] or even popcorn time through a vpn... [03:30] i'm just gonna download nd redownload some isos [03:30] have fun :) [03:30] don't punish the servers... [03:31] at least torrent and seed. [03:31] fine, i'll download some Arch isos [03:31] if one guy can punish the servers, then ATT deserves the FTC complaint [03:31] can anyone tell me why this is giving me this error the .tcl is there but it is not seeing it [03:31] couldn't read file "scripts/alltools.tcl": no such file or directory while executing "source scripts/alltools.tcl" [03:32] execute flag set for that Mouse? [03:32] hmmm [03:32] how do I set that Buzzard? [03:33] I am used to debain lol [03:33] never set a eggy up on ubuntu [03:33] b4 [03:33] is it a file that needs superuser or who owns the file you want to change the setting for? [03:34] the lazy way to do it is with a file manager [03:34] and set the properties of the file [03:34] name of the file is? === Betal_r is now known as Betal [03:35] I can open it in Putty too [03:35] u mean the .conf file [03:35] anyone know how to "stretch" a window in ubuntu ? [03:35] depends on what file manager you have, like nautilus, or pcmanfm or how do you browse your files? [03:36] I use putty or FileZilla [03:36] use nics foliks [03:36] folks* [03:37] well you can also do terminal command to set the bits for any file [03:37] I dunno how to do that [03:37] !who [03:37] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:37] just helps is all ;) [03:37] http://askubuntu.com/questions/484718/how-to-make-a-file-executable [03:38] oh I saw that in the setup [03:38] BuzzardBuzz: sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/eggbot [03:38] that one [03:39] yes chmod can do it for you also [03:39] BuzzardBuzz, Note the bots message on nics please [03:39] ok it asked for pass I put it in [03:39] and went back to prompt [03:39] but i prefer to be lazy and check the box [03:40] burmph: the seem to really ignore you :-( [03:40] Buzzard: it keeps telling me the same thing [03:40] burmph: *they [03:41] [23:40] Tcl error in file '/home/bots/simple.conf': [23:40] couldn't read file "scripts/alltools.tcl": no such file or directory while executing "source scripts/alltools.tcl" (file "/home/bots/simple.conf" line 146) [03:41] coraxx, Heh, they are in my ignore now. [03:41] burmph: oh there we go ...a nick appeared ;-) [03:41] Mouse: ok so what does line 146 say? [03:42] source scripts/alltools.tcl [03:42] burmph: Do you btw know how to stretch windows in Ubuntu ...it should be a simple thing but I can't seem to find a solution. Just need one single window to be stretched ? [03:42] oops sorry keep forgetting to put nick at the front lol [03:43] Mouse: your path in line looks like an error inside it [03:43] coraxx, Not sure what you mean, probably can't help. [03:43] Mouse: in line 146 [03:43] source scripts/alltools.tcl [03:43] is line 146 [03:44] Mouse: there is your path error in that line [03:44] burmph: 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] Bussard: or should it say /bots/scripts/ [03:44] oops [03:45] Buzzard sorry [03:45] :) [03:45] coraxx, No going to edge works? [03:45] Buzzard: /scripts is where all the scripts are at [03:45] cool [03:46] Mouse: it need to be the coorect path to the file, is all [03:46] coraxx, Sounds like the resize leaves the text the same size? [03:46] *correct [03:47] burmph: 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 grey [03:47] burmph: *content-pane [03:47] burmph: yes...everything is left the same...including the text. [03:48] coraxx, Ah, better description, not sure, I never use wine, so am not sure the context. There is a #wine channel as well, might be ##wine [03:48] burmph: I need the magic of compiz or something like that. its "Enhanced Zoom"-function is for the whole desktop and there not useful for this. [03:49] burmph: oh, but wine is out ... that I have checked. [03:49] coraxx, my guess is a config somewhere. [03:50] burmph: (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) [03:51] coraxx, I would never use wine, I have a windows install and I started on open source.

But I like the automated of ubuntu that you can't have in arch. [06:00] !trim [06:00] Many 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. [06:01] for example, updates are done automatically and smoothly in ubuntu. [06:01] OerHeks: it does not when you use dm-crypt [06:01] you'll have to send an argument to the kernel [06:02] LVM & LUKS is no problem, afaik [06:05] it isn't. But trimming is. It's disabled by default for encrypted devices, even if you have the discard flag in fstab.

Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, and !Mythbuntu. [11:42] ash_m: each releaseversion has a codename [11:42] lotuspsychje: the _only_ difference between these "flavors" is the desktop environment/./ [11:42] ?* [11:43] ash_m: is there something specific you searching?

[11:45] 1) understand linux a little better and 2) decide if I should even care which distro I get [11:46] if 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 it [11:46] lotuspsychje: ^ [11:46] ash_m: each flavor, is the users choice, depending what you will do with that machine [11:47] ash_m: so i suggest its best to start from the beginning, what do you want with your machine? [11:47] it's gonna be a server [11:47] ash_m: what kind of server [11:47] a LAMP/dev server [11:47] ash_m: then ubuntu-server will be fine for you [11:48] lotuspsychje: why not just ubuntu? [11:48] ash_m: desktop isnt designed for server usage [11:48] ash_m: it's not just a different set of packages, it's also different configuration [11:48] memory on a webserver is being gobbled up by something and I need to find out by what .. [11:49] hello [11:49] adsc: I see [11:49] a server usually doesn't need things like instant messaging, pulseaudio server, video streaming, etc. [11:49] zetheroo: wich webserver?

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [11:49] lotuspsychje: LAMP [11:50] ash_m: if you want a server, take the server distro, if you want a dev machine, take a desktop distro [11:50] adsc: right, but if the only difference is that one will allow me to navigate via a gui if I am on the machine, then that's not much insentive to go for it, but if there are various configurations that make it worth while, that's a different story [11:50] zetheroo: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might help you out on this? [11:50] ash_m: indeed [11:50] ash_m: a server usually doesn't need power save modes, etc. [11:50] ubuntu 15.04 with linuxpen drive - when i boot into the flash disk - it asks me for a password - thats fine - i put in ubuntu as the username and blank password but the computer sits at a sound loop error and wont progress any more [11:51] adsc: so lets see if I understand this correctly... [11:51] there are many more differences between desktop and server edition than just a missing desktop environment [11:51] wfpkhc: did you have same issue on 14.04? [11:52] i cant get 14.04 to work because it does not support my video card [11:52] wfpkhc: wich card [11:52] GTX 750 Ti Geforce [11:52] adsc: 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] wfpkhc: trusty should be able to run that card fine [11:53] i came on here and they said wait for 15 to come out as 14 doesnt support the new card architecture for nvidia [11:53] wfpkhc: live usb shouldn't ask you for a password [11:53] ash_m: yeah, you could turn ubuntu desktop into ubuntu server with a lot of work, and vice versa [11:53] [05:51] there are many more differences between desktop and server edition than just a missing desktop environment <-- pokes a hole in my last comment [11:53] wfpkhc: thats wrong sugestion [11:53] with linuxpendrive should i put any special configuration? [11:54] the card is very new apparently [11:54] ash_m: no, you are right, it could be done, but it's not really a worthwhile endeavour [11:54] adsc: I see [11:54] adsc: so that being the case [11:55] adsc: 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] ash_m: yeah, that's right [11:56] adsc: or are there commands for one flavor that simply won't work on another flavor [11:56] ash_m: I mean, it's not absurd [11:56] with "pendrivelinux" should i put anything for "set a persistance file size for storing changes? [11:56] adsc: the reason I ask is because I know there are channels for specific flavors [11:56] (or at least ubuntu-server) [11:56] wfpkhc: did you create the usb from windows?

[13:32] Turns 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" [13:33] pragmaticenigma: odd, but glad to hear that you figured it out [13:34] yeah, so at least in the future I know to kill the VNC server and restart that and not lose everything I have going on [13:34] hi [13:34] is qt5-default the whole qt5 package for ubuntu? [13:36] how to check memory usage? [13:36] rrr_: type 'free' in a terminal [13:37] rrr_: `free -m` is a better indicator of memory usage, if by memory you mean RAM [13:37] phrearch, the description says it provides development binaries for application dev work. If you have qt4-defaut installed it will conflict [13:38] phrearch, what are you trying to do? [13:38] drmagoo: which app use how much memory? [13:38] pragmaticenigma: i need to run qt5 and pyqt5 together in an ubuntu 14.04 docker container [13:39] I suspect the docker support group might be able to better assist you [13:39] rrr_: 'ps -efaux' should give you a lot of information [13:39] pragmaticenigma: isn't there a qt5 package ion the ubuntu repos? [13:40] there is... but all of the descriptors that accompany it warn that if qt4 is installed on the same machine there will be conflicts [13:40] rrr_: see "htop" and sort after memory usage [13:41] rrr_: or "system monitor" if you like a gui [13:44] hm, and for ubuntu 15? surely qt5 is a default package there? [13:44] phrearch, I really think you should reach out to the docker community for help. They can help you better than we can [13:44] phrearch, doubtful... qt5 is under active development... qt4 is considered stable [13:45] pragmaticenigma: just looking for qt5 in the ubuntu repo's [13:45] phrearch, run the command "apt-cache show qt5-default" it will tell you if it is available [13:46] pragmaticenigma: yep its there. i suppose it contains all of qt [13:48] phrearch, did you read through the descriptions?

The problem is that when booting from the usb it doesnt come with the right drivers so I need to use nomodeset. === bebe is now known as b1be === Tsunami1 is now known as Guest81813 [14:02] srslyidontsuck, maybe 15.04 plsama5 can't handle that new card, since the default driver is nouveau which works fine and is written for lower end gpus [14:04] ok you're on ubuntu so ,no plasma 5 , srslyidontsuck , forgot where I was for minute [14:08] srslyidontsuck, It takes a few months before drivers are available for the latest and greatest cards on the market... The Live boot images only have what was available at the time of the original release, and are rarely re-built after that [14:08] np BluesKaj [14:09] pragmaticenigma: yeah, makes total sense. but how do i install the os with nomodeset? [14:10] Hey 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 what [14:10] should I do? Thanks! [14:10] Usually there is a 5 or 10 second delay where if you hit space bar when the initial boot screen comes up so you can change the options [14:10] srslyidontsuck, ^^^ [14:11] https://github.com/fabiomig/serialport-plugin/blob/master/plugin.xml [14:12] pragmaticenigma: trying it. /me is hammering space [14:12] pragmaticenigma: no i get instantly thrown to the GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2.22ubuntu1 view [14:13] Where I can either "Try Ubuntu without Installing" or Install Ubuntu" and you know OEM installa and disc checks. [14:14] srslyidontsuck, 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 boot [14:15] BluesKaj: Yes, thats a very good idea. I was thinking earlier to .. remove the drive and install it in another computer but removing the card will be much easier. [14:16] BluesKaj +1 (you are brilliant) [14:16] srslyidontsuck, or you can highlight "Try Ubuntu" and press the "e" key [14:16] srslyidontsuck, not really , I had to do it once, just seemed like the thing to do. [14:16] pragmaticenigma: yes. [14:17] srslyidontsuck, that will allow you to "edit" the commands before booting [14:17] pragmaticenigma: lets me edit the textfile but what do i write where?

[14:40] pragmaticenigma: so im on the desktop running the livecd. i should be able to intall the driver i need then install right? [14:40] does it keep the driver or will i be blackscreened again when i boot up the new os? [14:42] srslyidontsuck, you'll have to wait and see, nomoidest will give an low res login iirc, then you can install the driver [14:42] an=a [14:44] srslyidontsuck, don't be surprised if the recommended driver is the nvidia-346 [14:45] hi all [14:45] I have a problem.

[14:46] srslyidontsuck, latest isn't always the greatest, probly less stable [14:47] sla: probably the best solution is to create a chroot and install the version you want in that, "debootstrap" is the tool to do that installation [14:48] TJ-: alright then - thanks :) === underyx is now known as underyx|off [14:56] hi sorry to be a pain, but can someone please tell me if Ubuntu 15.10 will work fine on a HP 455 please ?

When I'm stuck waiting for the login, if I login with a different account I see apt-check is running. Disk I/O is also really high on the host when this is occurring. Anyone know how I can correct this? === rrr__ is now known as rrr_ [15:03] hi === me is now known as Guest22852 [15:04] hi [15:05] KaiForce: "apt-check" is part of "update-notifier-common" and what happens is it is trying to dynamically generate the MOTD text for you when you log-in. You might want to disable that or other "update-motd" scripts. see "dpkg -S /etc/update-motd.d./" for the packages putting scripts there [15:06] What are things like option www-server, irc-server, &c for in the DHCP config. What uses them? [15:06] TJ: thanks... from what I've been reading that seems to be the culprit. I'm going to go ahead and chmod -x all those scripts [15:08] Hi everyone. Quick question. Has anyone here attempted installing kernel 4.0 on 14.04 LTS? [15:09] !crosspost | lexdvnc [15:09] lexdvnc: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time.

[15:20] I just installed the OS and created my user. How come I can't sudo? [15:20] Hi! I'm logged into my desktop via a guest account(long story) and the system has decided I wanted to lock the session. How do I unlock the session? [15:20] srslyidontsuck, one user or more than one user? [15:20] srslyidontsuck: what kind of system is that? what install iso did you use? [15:21] cfhowlett: just the one user [15:21] k1l_: 15.04 ubuntu [15:21] Hey guys. I have ubuntu running on a multitouch toshiba laptop. Any cool multitouch demo's I can run? [15:21] srslyidontsuck: its the users pw to use sudo. [15:21] thnx u gais [15:21] the same you use to login as the user [15:22] but dosnt seem to work. [15:22] srslyidontsuck: did you create that user on the install wizard? [15:22] on the try ubuntu first. [15:22] srslyidontsuck, "try ubuntu" means you didn't install it yet. [15:23] no no no [15:23] srslyidontsuck: when the installer is asking you questions, it asks for a name and suggested the user account naming for that, is that the user account you are now trying to use to gain sudo? [15:23] cfhowlett: get me right. I went through Grub > Try Ubuntu > Installng it > Rebooting into the new > Logging in with my useraccount. [15:23] srslyidontsuck: no, the install wizard asks you to give a user and pw. so did you use that to login and use sudo? [15:23] TJ-: yes. [15:24] k1l_: yes. the username and password given at creation [15:24] srslyidontsuck: what output gives you "groups" in a terminal? [15:24] srslyidontsuck: k1l_ Interesting... this used to happen quite frequently but randomly a few years ago with Ubiquity (the GUI front-end to debian-installer), but I thought the bug was squashed now [15:25] Does anyone know if the new kernel 3.19.0-22-generic has a work around for the async trim problem with Samsung 850 SSDs? [15:25] k1l_: TJ- : ive got 8x groups. my user and sudo is among them [15:25] srslyidontsuck: Does the username or the password contain any 'special' characters, such as non-ASCII for other languages, with accents etc? [15:26] nop its a three letter lower-case combo of latin characters [15:26] the username not the password ofc [15:26] srslyidontsuck: what does "id -u" report as the UID for the user? [15:26] but i managed to login at the spashscreen [15:26] TJ-: id -u prompts 1000 [15:27] What's the password for the guest account? [15:27] garrettkajmowicz: no password === esc_type_ is now known as esc_type [15:27] srslyidontsuck: And when you do, for example, "sudo echo hello" what do you see? [15:27] [sodo] password for user: [15:28] give the users pw there [15:28] k1l_: An empty password won't let me unlock the session. [15:28] make sure shift is not enabled or such things [15:29] nothing of the sort is activated. [15:29] garrettkajmowicz: on the login lightdm screen? [15:29] srslyidontsuck: OK, so the user is in sudo ... so the password is the issue. I'm wondering if the keyboard translation has changed between installer and installed system, e.g. US <> GB ... causes issues with the £ # and other characters moving. Try typing your password into the command-line so you can see the characters that are generated and confirm that is the password you set [15:29] garrettkajmowicz: is that a regular standard install? because there the guest account is passwordless [15:30] k1l_: No. At the session lock screen. I'm trying to unlock my session. [15:30] TJ-: 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. [15:31] TJ-: for kicks ang giggles i logged out. i cant logg in using the password. [15:31] 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] It is the register guest account. I didn't need a password to log in, but now I'm unable to unlock my session. [15:32] garrettkajmowicz: try to click: switch user and then select guest account [15:32] garrettkajmowicz: this might be a bug [15:33] TJ-: maybe its for the best ot just reinstall and make sure its feed in correctly? [15:33] becuase now im also locked out [15:34] 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 " and re-set the password to something safer, then "exit" and then choose "resume" to get back into the multiuser GUI [15:34] k1l_: I selected guest-1OxKjf and clicked activate. Nothing happens. If I selected start new session, will that destroy my old session? [15:34] srslyidontsuck: better print/wite those commands down :) [15:35] garrettkajmowicz: might be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1022858 [15:35] Ubuntu bug 1022858 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Guest session asks for a password after switching users" [Low,Confirmed] [15:35] Also, multi-monitor support at this point is broken in entertaining ways.

Why hasn't this been fixed aready? it's 3 years old! [15:38] garrettkajmowicz: devs prefer new toys :) [15:39] TJ-: its a new password for this new computer. so takes a while to get the fingers to type it correctly. second attempt at sudo echo hello returned hello in the termianl. [15:39] thanks for sharing your wisdom TJ- [15:40] TJ-: This is why people think OSS isn't enterprise-reafy. The bugs we know about aren't fixed. [15:42] TJ-: 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] garrettkajmowicz: seems like its been only 17 users in these 3 years. mark yourself as affected to get it pushed and fixed. === rrr__ is now known as rrr_ [15:50] Have been using 14.04 for some time. My wireless mouse has worked mostly for the last year and a half but now it seems to lose connectivity intermittently.

I've checked the display settings to make sure no other displays are being used. Any ideas? [15:51] i notice this does not happen when i boot into Windows 8.1 (ugh) [15:52] jnoob22, logitech?

[15:54] jnoob22: have you changed the Wifi device in the laptop, or altered the Bluetooth co-exist setting accidentally for the driver? [15:54] TJ-, no and no === espy is now known as awe [15:54] Squarepy, thanks ill have a look === nic is now known as Guest80738 [15:55] 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] k1l_: I don't have/want an account. It was filed and verified. [15:55] TJ-, this mouse is usb connected receiver .... are we talking about the same thing? [15:56] sorry not very knowledgeable about bluetooth [15:56] srslyidontsuck: Ahh... you need yo change the keyring's passphrase to match the user account password, because the system 'passwd' tool cannot do that. I think there's a wiki guide on it [15:57] running an aruntu 2.0; does somebody know how to check if firewall is installed/enabled ? [15:57] !firewall | aruntu firewall is disabled by default in new install of Ubuntu [15:57] aruntu 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/IptablesHowTo [15:57] 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-, i am using netgear wndr3400 ... any idea what kind of setting in the router i am looking for? [15:58] aruntu, BUT note that aruntu is NOT ubuntu and is NOT supported here. go to their site for support [15:58] jnoob22: the setting is in the local PC wifi driver, if it exists at all. Some hardware doesn't have a Bluetooth-coexist mode and therefore nor does the driver [15:58] Trying to get a touchscreen working.

[16:13] srslyidontsuck: I know, you have to try typing the old password and hope the translation worked for that :) [16:14] 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. [16:16] TJ-: but i changed the installer to swedish too. :-3 [16:16] TJ-: we changed the old password becuase it didnt work at all remember. [16:16] its goners. [16:16] srslyidontsuck: That doesn't mean it obeyed you everywhere :) [16:16] srslyidontsuck: Ahh, you're misunderstanding, let me explain further. [16:17] oh please do sir [16:18] 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 t [16:18] 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 :) [16:19] 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. === rrr___ is now known as rrr_ [16:21] 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* password [16:22] TJ-: *nods* [16:22] does anyone know why xinput_calibrator will not respond to my touches? the touchscreen appears to be working just not calibrated [16:22] TJ-: 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. [16:23] srslyidontsuck: Grrr! ... is this a fresh install with no user data yet? if so it may be simpler to recreate the keyring [16:23] lets [16:24] its fresh as of .. what is it.. 60 minutes maybe [16:24] srslyidontsuck: I'd best do some more research :) [16:24] please direct me. === BobSmith is now known as JohnBob [16:24] srslyidontsuck: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65281/how-to-recover-reset-forgotten-gnome-keyring-password [16:24] Is there a way to dowload only the first bytes of a document over http? [16:25] I’m looking for a tool for doing this [16:25] TJ- it's not possible delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings to reset it ? [16:25] nerium, isnt curl's -r options what you're looking for? [16:26] or do you mean getting only the response header? [16:26] chotaz`w: That doesn’t work in my case. Servern doesn’t support it [16:26] nerium, chek out wget [16:26] pragmaticenigma: I’ve, but I can’t find anything [16:26] nerium, wget -c downloads from interrupted. [16:27] cfhowlett: That c as in continue, not really what I want [16:27] TJ-: so ill just rm it right? [16:27] ioria: I assume srslyidontsucks' system isn't using gnome2 ! [16:27] TJ-: noo need to save anythin? [16:27] nerium: if they have rsync you could use rsync [16:27] srslyidontsuck: if you look further down to the answer rated 15 [16:28] "Note: before Ubuntu 12.10 the path to the keyrings folder was ~/.gnome2/keyrings/ instead of ~/.local/share/keyrings/" [16:28] nerium, 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 failing [16:28] EriC^^: It’s a web server [16:28] srslyidontsuck: "If the password is not known: right mouse click and delete for resetting." [16:28] nerium: they could still be running rsync [16:28] pragmaticenigma: That’s correct, it doesn’t support partial downloads [16:28] yep, i meant that [16:28] TJ-: "I understand that all items will be permanently deleted" [16:28] nerium, so your only option is download the whole page and then parse it [16:28] what items? *scared* [16:28] EriC^^: no [16:29] srslyidontsuck: you've not put anything in the keyring yet, it's a new install [16:29] haha okey [16:29] pragmaticenigma: It’s a stream, there’s no end [16:29] nerium, that would have helpped to know in the beginning [16:29] TJ-: yey. it stopped asking about the keyring nonsense at the thing i was at orignally. [16:30] pragmaticenigma: Okay, did know that was relevant [16:31] now it asked me to create a new keyring, TJ- [16:31] +1 [16:31] nerium, 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] srslyidontsuck: Yes, that's what you're doing... with the new user password as the unlock key [16:32] pragmaticenigma: Not in this case. It’s plain http [16:32] RTSP is a control protocol; stream will be using something else, maybe RTP or HTTP [16:33] nerium, 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 protocol [16:33] pragmaticenigma: incorrect. HTTP uses chunked encoding to deliver streams [16:34] pragmaticenigma: It’s HTTP/1.1 according to curl [16:34] is anyone experienced in connecting Ubuntu laptop to enterprise wifi? Can anyone lend me some knowledge [16:35] nerium, that's the response from the URL you gave it... the web page may have an embedded viewer on it [16:35] nerium, what's the URL?

On xubuntu 15.04 I boot the machine, but instead of loading automatically I am directed to a blank page with this: xubuntu 15.04 computermodel tty1 login: whats that and how do I avoid / correct it? [16:36] nerium, we don't support pirating in here... please take your question to another forum [16:36] pragmaticenigma: lol, why would that be pirating? [16:37] your mom's a pirate [16:37] a butt pirate [16:37] pragmaticenigma: I need to download the first 100 bytes of the stream as it contains some meta data I need, i’m not interested in the music it self [16:38] nerium: rtmpdump [16:39] i use it to save yahoo live concerts [16:39] nerium, from the URL it's using a flash player... you will need a different tool to capture the stream [16:39] pragmaticenigma: curl and wget works fine [16:39] Hi, I building a C++ library in Ubuntu 14.04 ARMHF, one of the tests crash because a exception handler doesn't catch a exception, the same test works fine with in i686 and x86_64, any ideas of a related g++ bug for ARMHF? [16:40] Hey guys, do you know a tool/script that can scan a directory and convert names to work with ntfs drives?

But I've created a 15.04 64 bit instance in side Virtualbox, and it is beautiful and works great. But how can I get it to be full screen?

[17:28] Borealix: What I would do is look at the graphics situation; ' lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 ; sudo lshw -C display ' . What the hardware is and if a driver is loaded . [17:29] BBLLCC: what happens usually is the operating system shuts down and sends the power-off command to the ACPI interface which should HALT the CPUs and then power-down, but that 2nd step fails on some systems due to incompatibilities/bugs in the fimware ACPI on the motherboard [17:30] TJ-, so it is ok to unplug it? [17:30] BBLLCC: it should be... I'd research your make/model + keywords "ACPI linux" to see if there are any Linux kernel options you can use to solve it [17:31] TJ-, simply google or command line? [17:31] BBLLCC: search engines :) [17:32] o, this must be grub related, right? [17:33] my machine shut down correctly with grub1, but since getting rid of it, fixing the kernel problem, grub2 does not recognize [17:33] BBLLCC: not at all; although if you find a kernel option you'd add it in /etc/default/grub so that the bootloader can give it to the kernel at boottime [17:33] https://askubuntu.com/questions/196132/ubuntu-not-shutting-down-going-to-black-screen-12-04 what do you think of that TJ- ?

[17:49] BBLLCC: line 252 seems to confirm what I've already said [17:50] TJ-, can firmware be edited? [17:51] BBLLCC: no [17:52] what kind of firmware? you can edit the firmware on a HDD but you will brick it doing that [17:52] BBLLCC: it looks like the firmware claims to support ASPM (Active State Power Management) but then fails to provide a function to initialise it, see line 268-69 [17:52] hi is there a ppa for gnupg 2.1.X ? === rrr__ is now known as rrr_ [17:55] 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, though [17:56] TJ-, you are talking about editing a line kernel acpi_os_name=windowsxp BBLLCC: yes, but we need to know the correct name from your system's ACPI DSDT [17:58] how do i do that? [18:02] hi, i have a wireless connection problem. everytime. sometimes when i wake up my laptop from sleep or I change from one connection to the other it doesn't connect. after restarting a few times the system it ends up connecting. Can someone help?

[18:04] we just need some details is all [18:05] burmph: 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 file [18:05] burmph: but this time I can send the syslog file as the problem just happened several times [18:06] When does Firefox 39 'finally' come in our repo's ? [18:06] bishops, So when you installed, the wifi worked right away, no mods? [18:06] burmph: yes [18:06] OerHeks: when the bugs have been fixed that cause 12.04 crashes [18:07] OerHeks: I've been using it on 14.04 from the mozilla-team PPA ... it's got several regressions over 38 [18:07] Thank you, TJ- so i better wait for 40? [18:07] bishops, 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. [18:08] burmph: Ok thanks, i'm not sure that's the problem as I'm close to the router, that's my home connection. [18:08] 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 have [18:09] burmph: I'm thinking maybe there is a problem with the wireless app [18:09] bishops, Have you accessed the router and checked the signal level? [18:09] OerHeks: I've also had it fail to play most HTML5 video, crashes the browser within a few seconds on Youtibe for example [18:09] burmph: but it does not only happen in my house, it happens on several connections [18:10] OerHeks: that last could be due to me using very recent ffmpeg/avconv libraries though [18:10] bishops, Hopefully others can get you all fixed, not sure here, sorry. [18:10] burmph: my phone connects with no problem, and obviously phones have weaker receptors.. [18:10] burmph: no worries thank you! [18:11] bishops, 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] burmph: what do you mean? [18:12] bishops, There is a basic scientific inquiry methodology. [18:12] BBLLCC: this will show you the names that PC's ACPI firmware recognises for acpi_os_name: "grep Windows /tmp/.dsl" === athairus is now known as afkthairus [18:13] burmph: alright but i don't see how to go about this. and also i'm a complete amateur.. [18:15] bishops, do you have a lot of saved WiFi connections? [18:15] pragmaticenigma: mm maybe, what's a lot? [18:15] bishops, Your fine, your in the right place for help. ;) [18:16] bishops, more than 5 [18:16] pragmaticenigma: yes then [18:16] bishops, I would start by removing all the networks you seldom connect to [18:18] is there any hardware sensor indicator for 15.04?? [18:18] bishops, 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 network [18:19] !lm-sensors | AqD [18:19] AqD: 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] pragmaticenigma: alright, I have just kept two. home and office connections.. :) [18:19] AqD, I use a conky to read the sensors [18:19] err show* [18:20] bishops, it's also best security practice to remove old ones so you are less likely to connect to rouge access points [18:20] pragmaticenigma: 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? [18:22] conky?? [18:22] * AqD googles [18:22] AqD, In the repos, and 1000's of custom scripts on the net. [18:23] AqD, There is a thread at the ubuntu forum with tons of scripts. [18:23] burmph: thx! [18:23] bishops, what's unique about the office connection? [18:23] pragmaticenigma: i just closed the lid of the laptop and reopened it and it connected at lightning speed so maybe we solved the issue [18:23] AqD, No problem, you can have a cool one. [18:24] pragmaticenigma: it has a certificate protocol of some sort that I had to manually set up, but forget it [18:24] bishops, awesome! If it should start doing that again, you could remove the office connection. It comes down to a process of elimination [18:25] pragmaticenigma: and next step just stop going to office, that would be great! :) [18:25] bishops, if only! [18:26] pragmaticenigma: 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? [18:27] bishops, Boot a live and seee if it os the same. [18:27] is* [18:27] burmph: sorry what does it mean? how to do this? [18:28] one 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] bishops, he means use one of the Live CDs or Flash a USB drive with the Live version of Ubuntu... then test your camera [18:28] bishops, Boot the live iso download used for installing, in a usb or dvd. [18:29] rubick, If you installed as 14.04.2 you have the 3.16 [18:29] sorry TJ- i had to take a mini nap [18:29] rubick, is there any particular reason you want to run a potentially vulnerable version of the kernel? [18:29] but im back [18:29] burmph: oh ok, so i run ubuntu from the usb and see if on it these ports work [18:30] I thought patches were backported to the older kernels. Maybe I don't understand ubuntu's OS-to-kernel versioning. [18:30] rubick, Read carefully, not for up or down in your kernel's, just info. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [18:30] rubick: If the original ionstall with the -16 kernel is 14.04.2 then it is (H)ard (W)are (E)enablement .

[18:43] yes [18:43] TJ-, i dont know what to di with thatinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843051/ [18:43] BBLLCC: Reading the AML I'd guess the best selection would be "Windows 2001.1" [18:44] Guest59680, you shouldn't have to reinstall ... but it may be faster depending on how customized the system is already [18:44] Guest59680, there is a way to fix it in place though [18:45] i 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] pragmaticenigma: Okay, I believe that I have already done so then, because sudo is working, and everything seems fine. [18:45] TJ-, ok, so now, where do I need to paste "kernel acpi_os_name=Windows 2001.1" ? [18:45] Guest59680, you can paste ls -al /var on paste.ubuntu.com for starters [18:46] burmph: i 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! [18:46] burmph: i hope that I don't have to reinstall everything now.. [18:46] ioria, Guest59680 likely ran "chmod -R 777 /var" [18:46] 777, ouch [18:47] Guest59680, you used -R ? [18:47] ioria and pragmaticenigma: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843122/ [18:47] 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 a [18:47] dd that to GRUB's boot config. [18:47] ioria: Yes, I used -R . A LOT. I'm a moron =[ [18:48] Guest59680 no, you're a beginner, that's not the same [18:48] holies [18:48] MonkeyDust: ;) thanks friend! [18:48] MonkeyDust, you wouldn't believe the number of sites saying you should set the permission to 777 for your webserver folder [18:48] mmm... seems you changed only www .... [18:49] MonkeyDust, instead of properly adding the user to the www-data group which is way easier [18:50] ioria: 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] Guest59680, can you paste ls -al /var/log too ? [18:50] pragmaticenigma yes, but chmod 777 is 'fast n easy' [18:50] TJ-, if this works, does it mean im gonna have to manually edit every kernel upgrade? [18:51] 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 reconfigured [18:51] : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843156/ [18:51] TJ-, brb [18:53] So I set up SSH keys between so I can login without a password. However, when I execute ssh as root (after doing sudo su), it prompts for the password [18:53] How do I fix this? [18:53] : oh yeah I gauruntee that I ran "chmod -R 777 /var" [18:53] Guest59680, yep, a little mess, i think [18:54] : = / , 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 again [18:55] Guest59680, really don't know... owners seem ok, just the rwx stuff [18:56] Guest59680, what's not working , exactly ? [18:57] : 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] Well, 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] Guest59680, that's true. but why did you change the permissions ? [18:58] chmod 777 is bad [18:58] Yes. [18:58] don't ever do that again [18:58] But unless you are logging on to every public wifi network within 10 miles, it shouldn't be TOO big a problem. [18:58] Guest59680 permission bug work if you create an app with a bug [18:58] It just means extra care is required. [18:59] : I was frustrated with my website showing 403 Forbidden, and was trying every solution I could find, probably not the brightest Idea. [18:59] So to be clear, are these files everything in / (root folder) or just somewhere in your home folder? [18:59] Yeah, maybe not. === caio is now known as crv [18:59] Guest59680, as you said it was for learning [18:59] The quickest way is to purge the server and reinstall. [19:00] That's if it were for education. [19:00] : I believe just /var I don't think I messed with root. and ^^ that's what I was thinking, reinstall. [19:00] chmod 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 accessed [19:00] So to be clear, you changed everything in /var in order to fix a server bug? [19:00] chmod 777 not equal chmod a+x [19:01] : 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] : Yes, I believe so, sir. I'm not the sharpest ubuntu beginner. [19:02] : That's OK. I've made those mistakes too. === baconEater is now known as _X_C_V_B_ [19:02] !tab | Guest59680 sirsomewhatFancy [19:02] Guest59680 sirsomewhatFancy: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:02] : Wil remember that! thanks =D [19:03] hehe, cool Guest59680, yw [19:03] ubottu: Oh thank you, did I do it right? [19:03] Guest59680: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:03] ubottu: does this work in Xchat? [19:03] sirsomewhatFancy: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:03] Wow I feel stupid now. [19:03] Guest59680, it's not easy by hand re-chmod all those files .... different permissions... [19:03] Haha. I'm new to IRC so that's actually really funny. [19:03] yes it works in xchat as well, sirsomewhatFancy [19:04] and mIRC, and irssi [19:04] and pbly others too [19:05] My 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] ioria: 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! [19:06] Guest59680, I think that just reinstalling packages as needed for security (openssl, gnutls, kernel, anything that deals with networking) should do the trick. [19:06] sirsomewhatFancy: great help as well thank you sir! [19:06] Guest59680, That does sound quicker. [19:06] Guest59680, ok [19:06] Guest59680, not sure exactly how you would get everything with my method, that's the main problem. [19:06] All you guys are awesome, thank you so much for your time and brain power! [19:07] Guest59680, glad to help! [19:10] Guess they left [19:10] :-( [19:11] Still here. (still alive) [19:11] Sorry, that's for the portal IRC. or whatever. [19:12] I am trying to install codeblocks, i tried this and get this [19:12] erkburgles@erkburgles-Inspiron-3451:~/Downloads/debian-stable/amd64$ sudo dpkg -i codeblocks_13.12-1_all.deb [19:12] dpkg: error processing archive codeblocks_13.12-1_all.deb (--install): [19:12] cannot access archive: No such file or directory [19:12] Errors were encountered while processing: [19:12] codeblocks_13.12-1_all.deb [19:12] Try going to packages.ubuntu.com and downloading and installing the .deb hosted there. [19:13] bbroadstone, I have had this problem too. Try clearing your apt cache while you're at it. I don't remember the solution though, it was ages ago! [19:13] ok, just curious, is there a way for me to troubl [19:13] ok [19:13] how to clear apt cache [19:14] bbroadstone, I'll check. Can't remember exactly. [19:14] oh, thats ok ill go google hunting, thanks for your help [19:14] bbroadstone, sudo apt-get clean [19:14] nice ty [19:14] That should do the trick. [19:15] bbroadstone, there are a number of things which could cause this. Also check for dependency problems while you're at it. [19:15] i think i downloaded and installed the only dependency necessary but ok [19:16] hi, I am using Ubuntu 15.04 and for some reason I get the following error "fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory" when attempting to build a package. I thought I had installed hdf5 properly? [19:16] bbroadstone, APT should do it automatically, but if there's a problem maybe it doesn't quite communicate right. [19:16] is there anything here I am missing? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hdf5 [19:16] pwca, are you sure you installed the dev package AND the library? === cosmos is now known as c0sm0s [19:17] pwca, libhdf5-dev looks right, but I don't know your purpose. === c0sm0s is now known as mongoose78 [19:17] sirsomewhatFancy: well, I want to compile something that needs hdf5.h. [19:17] I installed libhdf5-dev. [19:17] pwca: Just hdf5 will give you just the library no build utils. [19:18] pwca: try now then. [19:18] pwca: should work now. [19:18] now? [19:18] yes [19:18] I had already installed libhdf5-dev. [19:18] pwca: what program are you trying to build? [19:18] sirsomewhatFancy: caffe. [19:19] sirsomewhatFancy: http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html === shadok_ is now known as shadok [19:19] sirsomewhatFancy: they have specific Ubuntu dependencies that I have already installed. [19:20] pwca: sometimes they don't mention one. Look back a bit in the term output and tell me if there are any errors. [19:20] pwca: I wish I could help more here. [19:20] hello, why do i get system problem messages after a while i install 14.04? does anyone knows how to fix that? [19:20] TJ-, it worked. now I have to sudo thunar the path you mentioned /etc/default/grub , search for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and add exactly that "acpi_os_name="Windows 2001.1" to it [19:20] right? [19:20] pwca: check the version too. That's sometimes a problem. [19:20] sirsomewhatFancy: the only error appears to be the missing hdf5.h file. [19:21] i update and upgrade system everyday [19:21] just recompiled my ircd and webserver with the new LibreSSL [19:21] mongoose78: I get those too. I don't remember exactly how this gets rid of them, but I think installing an alternate flavor of ubuntu (Kubuntu works best) alongside by installing kubuntu-desktop should help. (maybe) [19:21] still get those messages [19:22] 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [19:22] file mpa vga how settings?? [19:22] file mp4 [19:22] you dont get those in kubuntu? [19:22] dannato: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [19:22] no [19:23] mongoose78, it suppresses most of them, yes. [19:23] only mplayer and smlayer [19:23] mongoose78, they become notifications. [19:23] thank you for your help [19:23] dannato, those two are oddballs. Still, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [19:24] im going to try install kubuntu on my other LT [19:24] dannato, if not, [CTRL] [ALT] [T], then type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. [19:24] TJ-, please check if this looks fine. And, what do I do with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/ [19:24] mongoose78, that will of course give you KDE instead of Unity, but it may be worth a shot. [19:24] ok [19:25] im using xubuntu 14.04 lts [19:26] dannato: that doesn't really matter, but if you feel more comfortable, try xubuntu-restricted-extras or lubuntu-restricted-extras. The only difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu is the desktop it uses. They can literally be installed on top of each other. [19:26] dannato: with no modification to either one. [19:26] i can highly recommend MATE as well [19:27] SCHAAP137, that won't solve his problem. But yes, you can use that too on top of everything else, given disk space [19:27] SCHAAP137, I like Mate too. [19:27] when you view the file mp4 seen slow [19:27] i have installed [19:28] sirsomewhatFancy: seems like I found a possible fix: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/caffe-users/cdyqjNpoFRY [19:28] dannato, that sounds like a video card error. I don't know what model integrated graphics you have. Is this AMD, Intel, other??? [19:28] sirsomewhatFancy: trying it now. [19:28] pwca: awesome! Good luck! [19:28] thanks for the help! [19:28] pwca: anytime! [19:30] hey guys, I just got a new Lenovo Yoga 11, Loaded Ubuntu 14 and everythings seems to be working great, touch pad works, screen rotation and what not. However, I can't seem to find the wireless driver and I was wondering if anyone knows where i could find it, or perhaps point me in a better direction. Thank You! =) [19:30] MeMeMe: sudo lcpci -nn | grep Network [19:30] MeMeMe, What kind of wifi card? These laptops and tablets often have more than one model. [19:30] MeMeMe, essentially what rypervenche said. [19:31] MeMeMe: Please provide us with that output. [19:31] sirsomewhatFancy: HEY! IT's Guest59680, from a couple minutes ago (going to reinstall ubuntu because I used chmod 777 -R). I just had a quick question: Should I go ahead and install Ubuntu Server instead of Ubuntu Desktop this time? I mean, its a seperate computer that I put together just for this purpose. [19:32] my bad, its the third edition. The specs on the website say: Bluetooth® 4.0, 802.11 A/C WiFi [19:32] Sparchitect then use server, but mind: it's an installer, not a live session [19:32] Sparchitect, if you want a desktop-less install, that's what you should go for. Be prepared to switch back though ;) [19:33] is intel but is very old 2007 [19:33] the problem is that is old maybe [19:33] MeMeMe: The command that I sent you will give us the information we need to proceed. :) [19:33] MeMeMe, 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. [19:34] MonkeyDust & sirsomewhatFancy: Bah, okay cool, I'm going with desktop then ;] thanks again! [19:34] MeMeMe, you have to run sudo lcpci -nn | grep Network in terminal and paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com and give us the url [19:34] dannato: 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. === bubbasaures is now known as wilee-nilee [19:36] hello [19:37] Switching to laptop, now somefancy!

[19:38] ok then can anyone tell me about how to hack a website [19:38] anonymous, tell me your password and ill show you how to hack [19:38] dannato: Puppy Linux is another linux distrubution. The whole thing fits into about 200 megabytes and is extremely efficent on older hardware. [19:38] anonymous, Say hello to the NSA as you ask this, and break the channel topic. [19:39] thank you good evening soo much [19:40] dannato: 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] is 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] dannato: but yes, all the instructions are on screen usually. [19:40] teward: look at how to enable and disable services. They all do this differently. [19:41] @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. [19:42] somefancy: that's not why i need to know? [19:42] somefancy: i need to know for a system info gathering script, not to manage services [19:43] can anyone please check if this looks fine. And, what do I do with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11843367/ [19:43] teward: 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. [19:44] teward something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart [19:45] ioria teward that looks good, but it will not work if there's sysvinit because it doesn't check for that. [19:45] ioria teward that is almost it, but it would call that upstart. [19:45] just add it :-) [19:45] teward: Maybe something like ' ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart ' ? [19:46] ioria, unfortunately I don't quite know how systemv works. [19:46] somefancy: if theres nothing returned from the command, then its safe to assume sysvinit [19:46] i think [19:46] teward something like this ? ps -p1 | grep systemd && echo systemd || echo upstart || echo something else [19:46] Bashing-om, already suggested. [19:46] somefancy: Yeah, I slow on the uptake. yuk . [19:46] teward, if it's not systemd, it says upstart. The or will not work without another test.

[20:02] heh [20:03] eb0t: Which still is discouraged, especially for newbies. [20:03] bbroadstone, Good! good luck! [20:03] cool [20:03] ty [20:03] but you helped me out too so thanks! [20:03] newbies should live in root and learn all the stuff you can do [20:03] newbies should NOT live in root. [20:03] even if it messes their system up they can reinstall and go again [20:03] thats how you learn [20:03] eb0t: This isnt Windows. [20:04] well its pretty close [20:04] lol [20:04] eb0t: You dont learn to not shoot your feet by shooting them. [20:04] ubuntu is pretty darn close to windows [20:04] eb0t not true. I broke my system so many times with admin in ubuntu years ago you don't even want to know. My dad hated me for it because he knew how to reinstall and didn't trust me with that power on the family pc. [20:04] because you should use a proper distro [20:04] eb0t yes, if you run everything as root [20:04] not a windows like distro [20:04] eb0t: So dont use root, and you dont have a Windows like distro. [20:05] no i dont have a windows like distro [20:05] and i run root every day [20:05] at times [20:05] I find Windows' auth thingy to be wierd. They focus on a smooth desktop, then the whole screen goes black whenever something needs permission for a split second! better to do that in boot then in the desktop like Linux [20:05] eb0t great, but stick to support questions here [20:05] why [20:05] the guy wants to know what to do [20:05] somefancy: You can easily disable that, but thats for out of support in here. [20:05] eb0t it is a support forum. [20:05] eb0t: you're being a bit spammy. This is the ubuntu support channel. [20:05] and he needs root [20:05] Still trying to figure out "virt-install". I finally constructed what I think is a valid command line, but it just sits there. It's been "working" for 20 minutes or so now, with no obvious results. [20:06] Here's what I see so far: [20:06] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Om5qVNQ2/ [20:06] eb0t: And he already was told how to solve his issue. [20:06] you guys get upset because you are not safe in root [20:06] eb0t: please stick to support questions and answers. And try to keep your comments as a single line, rather than using enter as punctuation. [20:06] eb0t we're used to attacks, don't worry... now go to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:07] im not worried [20:07] eb0t stop [20:08] TJ-, ? [20:10] BBLLCC: I'm back from dinner now. Your edit has unbalanced double-quotes. I think it needs to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_os_name='Windows 2001.1' " - notice the *single* quotes surrounding the text because it contains a space [20:11] hi [20:11] hi [20:11] is anyone on [20:11] how can i help you [20:12] about 1700 [20:12] 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. Without the quotes the command would be seen as 2 separate arguments [20:12] shadow2555, what's your trouble? [20:12] Just as he quits. Sorry all [20:14] TJ-, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_os_name='Windows 2001.1'" << did the thing thanks a lot again!!! [20:15] TJ-, do I need to get rid of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" ? [20:15] does everyone have issue with nvidia properietary driver in 15.04? first I have to add a boot option to disable fb, and then it seems much slower than nouveau when compiz is on [20:16] BBLLCC: no, the two are combined by update-grub ... the latter one is for additional options for the GUI boot entry that don't get added to the Recovery option [20:16] games run fine with it though, but vdpau sucks too [20:16] ok, thx [20:16] BBLLCC: Are you saying that the setting has fixed your shutdown power-off issue? [20:16] AqD this depends on your video card. Are you using AMD? [20:16] TJ-, adding that to GRUB worked. Now Im gonna check if permanently adding it to etc/default/grub works [20:17] AqD Sorry, stupid question. [20:17] somefancy: it's gtx 760, shouldn't have problem :( [20:17] BBLLCC: Oh fantastic - I'm so pleased, because solving this kind of issue is usually a BIG long frustrating job! [20:17] is there an alternative compositor to compiz & unity? should I use kde or xfce instead? [20:18] AqD do you have a problem with the oss drivers? I like NVidia's drivers generally, but I don't have any cards on hand. [20:18] AqD Try kubuntu-desktop, it's a full desktop environment [20:18] somefancy, not really but nvidia's driver had always been reliable and fast [20:19] somefancy, can I just switch to kde on ubuntu, without having to install kubuntu?? [20:19] AqD 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] AqD look for a package called kubuntu-desktop and install it. This will leave your system intact and install KDE. [20:20] I see! thx! [20:20] 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 you [20:20] * AqD bought nvidia card for linux........ [20:20] TJ-, yes [20:20] AqD: are you using the nvidia-340 series driver? [20:20] TJ-, and games run fast, vdpau is also on though it's slow (high cpu usage) [20:20] TJ-, yes [20:21] AqD it sounds like TJ- is the one to ask about this. sorry I couldn't help more, but my experience with video cards is sparse! [20:21] AqD: very strange... is that the only GPU in the system? [20:21] sure [20:21] AqD: I'd be interested to see a couple of logs from that system; "/var/log/kern.log" and "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" === rahul is now known as Guest820 [20:26] TJ-, xorg.log => http://pastebin.com/egHvYB6F [20:30] TJ-, and my kern.log => http://pastebin.com/eNGmxjRz [20:30] nothing special, DRM is on [20:30] wait do I need special group for my user to use DRM and vdpau?? [20:31] AqD: from Xorg.0.log this is not good: "(EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory" ... any entry with "(EE)" means ERROR, any with "(WW)" means warning. [20:31] TJ-, your edit works fine [20:31] with the new quotes i mean [20:31] BBLLCC: Oh fantastic - I'm so pleased, because solving this kind of issue is usually a BIG long frustrating job! [20:32] yes, 2 hours aint it? [20:32] TJ-, fb is disabled because my linux would freeze otherwise [20:32] thanks TJ- [20:32] hi [20:32] i have a sony xperia tipo i wanna connect to aubuntu [20:33] how do i do it? [20:33] my os dosnt find my phone [20:33] guest5000, Do you mean over bluetooth? [20:34] no usb === chris is now known as Guest16114 [20:34] guest5000, is your phone unlocked? [20:34] yes [20:34] guest5000, how many devices show up? [20:34] AqD: Ahhh, yes, there are some issues with FB and the nvidia driver in later releases [20:34] no device === Guest820 is now known as OGGOP [20:35] guest5000 is usb turned on in the phone? [20:35] http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35366/not-able-to-connect-xperia-tipo-to-ubuntu [20:35] ive tryed this link [20:35] http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/35366/not-able-to-connect-xperia-tipo-to-ubuntu [20:35] AqD: what does "vdpauinfo" report ? [20:35] People, is there a way to initiate USb tether from the Ubuntu computer to my Android phone instead of starting it from my phone all the time? [20:36] dosnt work for me. [20:36] that site [20:36] guest5000, Weeeell, my moto x has no trouble so this doesn't look like an android problem. [20:36] TJ-, it lists nvidia and capabilities etc [20:36] guest5000 we'll figure this out, just gimme a sec. [20:37] TJ-, from my own non-root user [20:37] is there any real time web graphical interfaces that allow you to monitor network traffic real time? [20:37] thnx somefancy [20:37] can't find any good ones [20:38] 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" section [20:39] guest5000, try changing the usb mode. It should be in the drop-down menu of the storage settings. [20:40] have tryed that on the phone you mean? [20:40] guest5000, Yes. [20:40] have done that [20:40] guest5000, what modes are available? [20:40] Hello all any of you put ubuntu on an acer aspire M ? [20:40] cant see the phone in my home folder [20:41] guest5000 look in the sidebar of your file manager. It should say something wildly generic like "Androd" or something. [20:41] MTP and MSC [20:41] guest5000 the home folder is usually not where that shows up. Try MSC. [20:41] 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 it [20:42] I dont have any specific file manager [20:42] guest5000 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] guest5000 I would try looking for the device to mount. Set your device to MSC. MTP doesn't work without a file manager. [20:43] what file manager [20:43] maybe i should download a file manager? [20:44] you could use dolphin, nautilus, pcmanfm, thunar, etc. etc. Stock ubuntu comes with Nautilus pre installed. Kubuntu uses dolphin, Xubuntu uses Thunar, Lubuntu uses PCManFm and Ubuntu GNOME also uses nautilus. [20:44] what is the username and password for the 15.04 ubuntu snappy image? ubuntu/ubuntu doesn't work as documented [20:44] guest5000: if you're in ubuntu, I think it's still nautilus [20:44] guest5000 do you have a desktop? [20:44] guest5000 as in not command line? [20:45] yes [20:45] carif try ubuntu with no password. That's on the live image anyhow. [20:45] but i have no file manager installed [20:45] guest5000 you will need a file manager. [20:45] could be the problem :D [20:46] guest5000 unless you know how to manually mount MSC devices, yes :) [20:46] somefancy, ty, tried it, no luck, also 'password' and 'passw0rd' [20:46] carif are you on the live cd? [20:47] Greetings! what are the recommended specs for 15.04? I have an old HP with an Athlon 64, 2.5 GB RAM and a GeForce 8500 GT [20:47] ScottyK chances are you are good. [20:47] ScottyK almost nothing within the last 8 years won't run Ubuntu. [20:47] somefancy, no, kvm as per directions at https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/start/ [20:48] Ok thanks. Not planning on playing latest games, but it's a machine I use to test out Ubuntu! [20:48] ScottyK yes! [20:48] carif I am checking that page now. [20:48] have a file manager doesnt make any diffenrece [20:48] somefancy, "For this preview release we have hardcoded a user "ubuntu" with password "ubuntu". " [20:48] how do i mount MSC devices [20:48] somefancy [20:49] guest5000 this sounds like a big problem with that model. I'm sorry but I don't think I have any other information for you without actually seeing the setup! :( [20:49] ok [20:49] guest5000 if you know the /dev/sdx# nomenclature then you use the mount command. [20:49] pitty for me [20:49] Hey guys. I'm trying to optimize unity for a touch screen environment. Any way I can hide the launcher and use a swipe gesture from the side to reveal it? [20:49] guest5000 mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/newfolderhere is the syntax [20:50] unity-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? [20:51] carif 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] carif: could the password be empty? [20:51] somefancy, sure, I'll try downloading a new image and try again [20:52] BrianH 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] BrianH or Unity Tweak Tool, that is essentially the same as using CCSM. [20:53] somefancy, just figured it out. 4 finger swipe will open it. [20:54] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch ... cool stuff! :) [20:54] BrianH Cool! I don't have a touchscreen computer, but I have one in the mail, that's really good to know! [20:54] somefancy, you rule [20:55] somefancy [20:55] I need to sleep somefancy [20:55] carif So is the problem solved? [20:55] ill be back tomorrow [20:55] have a nice evening [20:55] guest5000 feel free! I can't guarantee I will be back though. [20:55] guest5000 you too now. [20:55] do you have facebook? [20:56] i could add you [20:56] somefancy, yes. redid the directions at the referenced page (download, unxs, kvm) and now the creds work. will try to ssh in next [20:56] guest5000 this is a support forum, for small talk, there actually is a channel called #ubuntu-offtopic. [20:56] * carif bows to somefancy [20:56] ok [20:56] carif Wow that was fast! Great! (Bows Back) glad to be of assistance! === rbanffy-lunch is now known as rbanffy [20:59] I just have this repurposed Toshiba touch screen laptop that I'm turning into a kitchen system. Coding up a basic recipe book, grocery list, etc. that my wife and I can use. Should turn out pretty slick once it's done. [21:00] BrianH I look forward to reading about this in a blog post I may or may not stumble accross! [21:01] Perhaps. It'll be a while before I post anything, the laptop is mostly in pieces right now, haha.

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] bishops, Try the guest account now, you have tried the live everything worked, include that info. [21:15] bubbasaures: ok will try now. === |nv|s|b|e is now known as Johnny_Linux [21:16] bubbasaures: well in guest account it does not recognize webcam also [21:17] bishops: 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 in [21:18] daftykins: the battery is built-in. what do you mean by "mains"? [21:18] mains power... outlet power... the place what the sparky stuff comes from! [21:18] some of those laptops have a pin insert to detach the battery temporarily [21:19] * bubbasaures grounds themselves [21:19] daftykins: you think the problem could come from there? [21:19] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER pperanzola_ hezybvnocoej [21:19] bishops: well it doesn't cost much to try [21:19] woohoo [21:19] pperanzola_: use your status window in future :) [21:19] pperanzola_: Change your password now. [21:19] Someone 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? [21:20] no you're all wrong as usual - it's a verification link not a password. [21:20] daftykins: the only way i can remove this battery I think will involve a screwdriver and opening to motherboard... [21:20] :) [21:20] bishops: I'd check "/var/log/dmesg" when it fails to recognise the camera; there's a probably a driver or firmware problem [21:20] pperanzola_, no space [21:20] bishops: see what i said about a paperclip/pin insert? or try checking the product manual. === afkthairus is now known as athairus [21:20] not smart dude people can see you passwd [21:21] TJ-: how to check? when I launch my system from usb with ubuntu on it camera works [21:21] daftykins: sorry but I'm not sure I understand how to do that [21:21] bishops: boot the PC normally, if the camera isn't working, show us the log wilth "pastebinit /var/log/dmesg" [21:21] bishops: look up the manual. [21:22] daftykins: What manual? I've had this laptop for 3 years.. [21:22] 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 reuse [21:22] bishops, Manuals are onpine [21:22] on line* [21:22] daftykins: meaning that I'm not sure I'll find the manual :) [21:23] ok I'll try TJ- 's suggestion first.. [21:23] TJ-: really, it has a cache like that? [21:23] bishops: it'll be on the manufacturer site fine if you look hard enough [21:23] Hi. 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] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/ [21:23] TJ-: 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 pass [21:24] TJ-: is that an ubuntu thing or what? [21:24] 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] TJ-: yeah root and sdd2 have the same encryption algorithm, key size, and pass phrase [21:25] not smart dude people can see you passwd [21:25] Hi, 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] Starting uuid generator uuidd /etc/rc2.d/S02sddm: 4 ,: Can't open /lib/init/init-d-script saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [21:25] im seeing this [21:25] oeps error sorry [21:26] daftykins: ok just watched a video on how to remove the battery. it involves a screw driver as I thought it would :) [21:26] CryptoSiD: Why were you installing 14.10 instead of 15.04? [21:26] zub, I would let them tag it probably [21:26] TJ-: 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] bishops: ok but i didn't really suggest that, so - i am not to blame ^_^ [21:26] 14.10 will go EOL this month [21:26] bubbasaures: m'kay, thx [21:26] yay death to 14.10 \o/ [21:26] daftykins: haha no i'm not blaming! [21:27] Jordan_U cause im unable to find 15.04 with kde 5? [21:27] daftykins: 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] TJ-: 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 thing [21:28] bishops: did you paste one yet? [21:28] ok got it:D [21:28] gonna try [21:28] TJ-: i rm -rf'ed the encrypted /var mount first [21:28] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11844007/ [21:29] kubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso this is with kde plasma 5 by default right? [21:29] no need to update? [21:29] lukscurse: There are known mount races with cryptdisks-udev [21:29] CryptoSiD: Of course you should run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; [21:29] Kubuntu 15.04 comes with Plasma 5.2. [21:29] TJ-: how do i try to fix it? [21:29] lukscurse: I have a couple of encrypted LVM VGs, and so I don't need individual LVs/fil-systems unlocking [21:30] great [21:30] 5.3 i think:) [21:30] after update, yes. [21:30] whatever as long as its plasma 5.? im happy [21:30] oeps error sorry [21:30] great hope it'll work with 15.04 [21:30] TJ-: so if i had an lvm luks for root and another for /tmp and var together, this probably wouldn't be occuring? [21:31] CryptoSiD: 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] CryptoSiD, there is also #kubuntu here on freenode :-) [21:32] bishops: hmm i bet you get a little stall at boot with error messages instead of a rapid boot huh? [21:32] 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] daftykins: possible why? [21:33] bishops: i just saw the errors in the dmesg log is all, easily rectified. USB issues at line 678 [21:33] TJ-: thanks for the help [21:33] daftykins: oh really what to do [21:33] bishops: which model Lenovo is this? can you visit the site and check for EFI/BIOS updates? it says you're on v22.31 [21:33] *v2.31 [21:34] or 2.56 [21:34] daftykins: but how do we explain that it works if i boot from usb? [21:35] bishops: older kernel [21:35] you've no doubt updated since [21:35] 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 to [21:36] bishops: in fact make sure you've done a good dist-upgrade [21:36] bishops: you've added manual options to the kernel command-line that is interferring: "pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq " [21:36] daftykins: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [21:37] TJ-: ooh how to change that [21:37] bishops: "acpi=noirg" is probably the big problem [21:37] daftykins: can you explain more about bios update and kernel? [21:37] TJ-: ah good spot, i should've seen that [21:37] TJ-: how to change that? I did fiddle with the bios at some point i remember, but just to get the usb to be bootable [21:37] bishops: Remove that option from "/etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX and then "sudo update-grub" [21:38] why not remove them as a one time boot test to start with [21:38] might be a reason they're there [21:38] TJ-: i just delete it you mean? [21:38] bishops: No,you remove "acpi=noirq " from where-ever you have set it in that file [21:39] TJ-: please can you type explicitly how to do it in terms of command lines? I'm really an amateur in this.. [21:39] TJ-: oh in the file it says at some point "acpi=noirq quiet" [21:39] 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" [21:40] TJ-: should i delete these sentences? how to proceed? [21:40] bishops: remove those options only, nothing else [21:41] TJ-: the line says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 pcie_aspm=force acpi=noirq quiet splash" [21:41] TJ-: should i just erase i915 etc and acpi=noirq ? [21:41] bishops: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=" pcie_aspm=force quiet splash" [21:42] bishops: Not sure if you need ASPM forcing but I assume you put it there for a good reason :) [21:42] TJ-: no i haven't put anything anywhere! :) should i remove? [21:42] bishops: Well, those options don't get added automatically [21:42] TJ-: did all this get into this file because I fiddled with the bios you think? [21:43] bishops: No, the file has to be edited to add them [21:43] TJ-: ooooh i know when i put those. some forum told me it's good for battery life [21:43] bishops: users!! :P [21:44] bishops: after you've saved the file do "sudo update-grub" and then it should be fixed [21:44] makes me wonder how the install got done with those parameters [21:44] followed a bad guide perhaps? [21:45] TJ-: so should i remove also quiet splash? [21:45] TJ-: maybe quiet splash can help with battery life? :) [21:45] bishops: No! only remove the settings I told oyu to [21:46] TJ-: but you weren't sure about pcie_aspm=force, should i remove it too? [21:47] bishops: That option is forcing the kernel to use PCI Active State Power Management - I'm guessing you have that to help with battery life [21:47] TJ-: ok so keep? [21:47] bishops: Yes. If the current changes don't cure the missing camera issue you can remove that setting later and try the camera again [21:48] TJ-: ok will restart the system as camera still not working [21:49] 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 problem [21:50] TJ-: it worked! [21:50] woot [21:50] bishops: Yes, I thought it would. No more tinkering without expert advise! [21:51] TJ-: 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. [21:52] TJ-: and also did these options affect battery life in any way? [21:53] 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 them [21:54] bishops: I'd think that could affect battery life because the devices couldn't be put into lower power modes [21:55] TJ-: so the IRQ thing was forcing it to go in lower power modes? [21:55] bishops: No, probably the opposite [21:55] TJ-: oh interesting, so basically it was sabotage! :0 [21:57] TJ-: in any case, thanks a lot for your help! [22:00] anyone have an idea why, in unity, i can't open my system settings? [22:03] mekhami, You leave yourself to any question with that, can you detail it to us? [22:04] i click system settings on the toolbar and nothing happens. [22:04] :) [22:04] also i no longer have an audio/volume thing on the toolbar either. [22:05] mekhami, What desktop/ubuntu release, and mods that preceed. [22:05] ➜ ~ unity-control-center [22:05] zsh: command not found: unity-control-center [22:05] i'm on ubuntu 14.04 [22:06] mekhami: ok, what did you do before that happend? [22:06] k1l nothing i'm aware of? normal regular system updates? [22:06] k1l i just installed new RAM but that hardly seems relevant [22:06] i just ran sudo apt-get install unity-control-center and it's back again [22:07] no idea how that could have gotten uninstalled though [22:07] how come you're running zsh, that's not installed by default [22:07] what is when you use the desktop dash search to search for system settings? [22:07] mekhami: Try running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and see what packages it proposes to install (and be careful to look at what packages it might try to remove). [22:10] AvatarA: because I want to run zsh? and I've been running it for years? [22:10] i don't understand the question [22:11] I didn't say I just did a fresh install of ubuntu and can't open system settings. i just started my computer one day and that functionaltiy was gone. but i just apt-get installed it back. it's odd that it somehow got removed. [22:11] mekhami: you could have a look at /var/log/dpkg.log [22:11] mekhami: check your APT history log file perhaps [22:11] daftykins: y u islanders so slow? ;( [22:12] Fuchs: that's not very nice. [22:12] * bubbasaures thinks of daftykins always as nice, har har [22:13] err, ok. [22:13] What do you think about the order button a paid support in the release, which can be placed in the updates, or to make a special application - [22:13] ssh and remote desktop is already there, left until enable to access them on the vpn connection from the client's consent [22:14] dmitru: your query both doesn't make sense in English - and does not look appropriate for this channel [22:14] daftykins, Don't take it personally was not meant that way, none of us are always nice, what ever nice means. [22:14] man nice [22:15] something new over here? [22:16] Bl4ckD34th: no idea what your question means, can you clarify? [22:17] I have new shoes [22:17] compdoc: do you now run on Ubuntu? ;) [22:17] lol [22:19] technohype [22:19] that's all I have to say.. sorry, just testing === Blaster is now known as Guest56053 [22:33] daftykins Tomorrow I'll be watching the English film, the reason misunderstandings in verbal revs reducing text. === brayden_ is now known as Blaster [22:34] Anyone know how to enable query logging when using PostgreSQL with PDO? [22:35] dmitru: inappropriate topic for here [22:36] Also how can I make PDO show exceptions on the webpage? It's very misleading because it's not even displaying any errors if there's an error in the query, and I have display_errors set to 1. [22:40] How would i cp a file with it's inode number [22:40] Bray90820: ? [22:40] what are you trying to do? [22:41] Bray90820: find it's inode number and cp [22:42] EriC^^, I am trying to take a file that is unreadable because of a bad filename and rename it [22:43] Bray90820: did you try mv -- ? [22:43] I did and it is saying no such file or directory [22:44] I had this issue before and I had to use it's inode number [22:44] But I was doing rm then [22:44] Hi guys, [22:44] I have been struggling with this issue for some time and now decided that I need external help. [22:44] I 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] In 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] The 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] So I need to ROUTE all traffic running from/to a dedicated IP address of the Wii to go through the ppp0. [22:44] Any idea how to do this? If there is any expert in linux routing around, I am willing to pay his/her effort and then to share the solution. [22:45] !info inode-cat | Bray90820 maybe this [22:45] Bray90820 maybe this: Package inode-cat does not exist in vivid [22:46] Bray90820: http://www.labtestproject.com/linuxcmd/mv.html [22:46] renaming based on inode [22:48] Bray90820: find . -inum -exec mv {} \; [22:52] Eric^^ http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=LSV1YJMF [22:52] The fie doesn't seemed to be renamed [22:53] Bray90820: try -exec mv '{}' [22:53] ( it's mv not move ) === Bl4ckD34th is now known as Bl4ckD34Th [22:55] Bray90820: check the link [22:55] In 14.04 there are errors when using the usb modems, in 12.04 did not have them [22:56] EriC^^, after I changed move to mv it worked [22:56] Bray90820: cool [22:56] Thanks [22:57] Bray90820: no problem :) [22:58] Bray90820: you could prolly do `cat file > new_file && rm file` [23:00] al2o3-cr, Thaks but I already got it worked out [23:00] i know :p [23:00] any idea how to make /etc/resolv.conf changes stick?

[23:04] gardijne change location, language and logged in ubuntu google put dns 8.8.8.8, or using a proxy server at home for VPN or through a browser, there are ready-made services on the Internet [23:05] Hi 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] What should I be looking at (no Virtualbox)? Thanks [23:06] allizom: how big are your classes? [23:06] about 25 students each [23:07] allizom: 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. [23:08] allizom: Thats what qemu/kvm + libvirt + virtual machine manager (GUI) do [23:08] allizom: you're going to have to have quite the beefy system to drive 25 at once [23:08] daftykins: hm, was looking for a free "as in freedom" solution. also I said one at a time [23:09] ah, why one at a time o0 [23:09] allizom: 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? [23:10] TJ-: I read about qemu/kvm/vmm, but can I avoid to give root access? [23:10] good idea [23:10] live usb [23:10] i'm sure there are reasons for your imposed restrictions, but they don't make too much sense with the info provided :) [23:10] daftykins: worked great, thank you :) [23:10] bentler: np! [23:11] daftykins: it *could* be possible, but I'd like to know my options in advance [23:11] allizom: what've the kids gotta do? is it just a compare + contrast exercise? [23:11] allizom: Yes; libvirt runs with its own user account as a service, the user tools access it over sockets. for admin users they should be added to the libvirtd user-group [23:13] daftykins: it's a high school class and they need to install some packages and stuff, and actually use them too ;P [23:13] allizom: heh but you said no root [23:14] also that's fine with a live session. [23:14] allizom: If you don't need a full virtualised machine libvirt also supports LXC (containers) and has GUI setup wizards to help [23:15] someone know how to creat a bootable pendrive in linux? [23:16] TJ-: 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] danshin: yes, both command line and GUI options exist [23:17] danshin: do you have an ISO downloaded ready? and flash drive plugged in? [23:17] allizom: no. each user can start Virtual Machine Manager and use its GUI to start/stop and access its 'screen' [23:17] yes [23:17] danshin: 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) [23:18] alrighty. [23:18] I 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. [23:19] is there something i need to do to make it a lot faster? [23:19] sehnsucht: can't help with proprietary software in here really. [23:19] run it in a terminal and look for errors perhaps [23:19] sounds like VT isn't working quite right [23:20] allizom: see "apt-cache show virt-manager" for the GUI [23:20] daftkins: when i do this code, nothing happening '-'. just jump a on terminal [23:21] TJ-: 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. Thanks [23:21] daftkins: 3064541184 bytes (3,1 GB) copied, 23,9636 s, 128 MB/s my file have 4gb [23:21] danshin: what code?

And my pen drive 8GB [23:25] yeah that's not in question [23:26] danshin: but you have to write to /dev/sdX, not /dev/sdX1 as you did above [23:26] danshin: also don't use 'sudo' when you're already root [23:28] Anybody running 15.04 on XPS13? Just ordered one. [23:28] daftkins to i formate this pen drive i need to use "umount /dev/sdX" and "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdX" right? [23:29] danshin: i'm telling you to run dd, which means you don't need to format, don't partition, don't do _anything_ else [23:30] just run the command correctly as i have advised repeatedly and all will be fine [23:30] ok === Jeff_ is now known as Guest38499 === rahul is now known as Guest47093 [23:37] i cannot seem to get ubuntu to work on a liveUSB!
