[03:33] and I can run the utility to check the files [03:33] ok, try booting a seperate live usb and copy off anything impotant and remake it [03:33] what bubbasauressaid [03:33] you mean a live usb from the start Finetundra ? [03:33] which OS are u trying to install ? [03:34] a seperate one from the issue one [03:34] yes [03:35] That means for me to forget a lot of applications that I already have on this stick...

[09:37] boots fine for me with raid and lvm [09:37] not tried it with btrfs [09:37] MatthiasM2: you'll do better asking for help/stating your problems rather than making sarcastic comments into a black hole [09:38] ok, any combination I tried so far resulted in the inability to mount the root device [09:38] or a failure to install grub [09:38] so I assume you're made sure you've put /boot on a seperate non-lvm partitioin ? [09:38] partition ?? [09:39] I tried with a 1MB bios_grub partition, 8GB swap, ~2TB of raid [09:39] what is the second field in the output of ls? it's a number [09:39] then on that raid I put a lvm [09:39] /boot is bigger than 1mb [09:39] the bios partition is for EFI [09:39] I have not yet tried with a separate /boot [09:39] nothing to do with the actual "booting" of the OS [09:40] /boot needs to be outside of lvm - as how can grub access it as it doesn't know about LVM? [09:40] the grub install needs to be on the MBR of a disk, and pointing at a partition [09:40] grub was able to load the kernel just fine from within in lvm [09:40] well, thats good then [09:40] I susppect thats due to the initrd though [09:41] but in no combination the kernel could mount root [09:41] does it say why ? [09:41] when you look at the errors above the actual error message what does that tell you about why it can't do it ? [09:41] no - as the screen resolution is stupidly 80x25 with no scrollback [09:42] so I only see the stack trace of it not being able to mount rootfs [09:42] hello [09:42] use netdump then if possible [09:42] or dump the console output via a serial link to a disk [09:43] I think what I'll do next is a simple install with a separate /boot and / - but having my home and data folders on a btrfs [09:43] and use the btrfs raid feature [09:44] as the ubuntu installers seems to not install mdadm anywhere ... [09:44] so firefox has flash player install by default [09:44] some flash players are prompting me by saying my flash was disabled [09:45] this hasn't happened before, does it have to do with the hacker team hack? [09:45] if so, how do I update it? [09:45] Trinity: no, it doesnt have flash as default [09:45] Trinity: its just more and more websites do use html5 instead of the old and insecure flash [09:45] ikonia: MatthiasM2 GRUB can and does know about LVM, it has an lvm module. GRUB has no impact on not being able to mount the root device; that is an initial RAM disk issue [09:46] k1l_, ah.... i get it. i think youtube defaults to flash for desktops [09:46] :/ bummer [09:46] no issue with chromium [09:46] Trinity: no, youtube used html5 since some time [09:46] right, but for desktops it defaults to fash [09:46] flash [09:46] or some browsers as I should say [09:46] chrome got the google flash "pepperflash" included. you can use pepperflash for other browsers too [09:47] Ubuntu plays suonds when I switch a tab in nautilus [09:47] How to turn that off? [09:47] Trinity: but firefox disables some plugins for security reasons since some firefox versions. [09:47] k1l_, well i need to use flash player regardless, the specific error i'm getting is This plugin has security vulnerabilities [09:47] TJ-: yeah, I assume it is caused by Ubuntu not installing mdadm even so it is installing on an mdraid1 [09:47] should I just make an exception? [09:47] or is there a way to upgrade to the patched version? [09:48] Trinity: look left of the url bar to see if you need to accept that plugin on that site again [09:48] did it [09:48] :) [09:48] MatthiasM2: mdadm should be automatically hooked in via its /usr/lib/initramfs-tools/ hooks if it hosts the root file-system. [09:48] k1l_, so theres no way to update flash? [09:48] patch* [09:49] Trinity: be aware that some warez sites do fake a "update your flash" message to make you install a virus [09:49] MatthiasM2: correction: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ hooks === john is now known as daft [09:50] Hi everybody, I've installed an application and added its .desktop file in $HOME/.local/share/applications, but seems it doesn't load it from there. how can i debug this?

[10:11] hey guys [10:11] truthseeker1990: its very easy if you boot in legacy (old bios) mode [10:12] Is it advisable to boot in legacy though? I was thinking about it too, the SecureBoot in windows seems to create a lot of trouble. I have installed ubuntu no problem. And I can access it from within windows. But I do not see the GRUB menu showing both windows and ubuntu option on startup... [10:12] truthseeker1990: did you use wubi? [10:13] Wubi does not work, according to the internet anymore. [10:13] No I did a manual install === mudo_ is now known as mudo [10:14] yes, it just did sound like you used wubi. which i would suggest to reinstall as a real install then. [10:14] Its installed and ready to go. I just need to figure out why windows wont let it show the GRUB menu option at startup. I can access ubuntu alright except from startup. [10:14] make sure it boots up grub? [10:15] how? [10:15] I'm curious.. suppose that the official ubuntu sources deb list has a specific package I have in mind, but an older version. [10:15] And there's a PPA that has the newer version. [10:15] Will it conflict in anyway? [10:15] i am not familiar with uefi, but maybe you need to reinstall grub to the first hdd? [10:15] Skyrider: That depends on how the maintainer of the PPA packaged the new version. [10:16] As I tried and it keeps getting the old version, and I'm very, very confused how the PPA exactly works. [10:16] k1l_: Alright I will try that. I also have a feeling that I should disable SecureBoot from the boot menu in windows as well [10:16] For example [10:16] https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive/ubuntu/zoneminder [10:16] Skyrider: Did you run sudo apt-get update after adding the PPA? [10:16] yes [10:17] Skyrider: "sudo apt-get update" and then a "apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME" into a pastebin please [10:18] alrighty, 1 sec [10:19] truthseeker1990: Many UEFI/Windows combinations use a 'fastboot' mode that steps over the usual look-for-boot-device step and immediately loads Windows.

[15:59] sl1rpy: no hardware acceleration [15:59] wonkabar, so you ARE booted up and logged in though, right? [15:59] but i have to say, if i need to upgrade to kde 5.3 thats a good sign that this 15.04 is a bit buggy vs 14.04 [16:00] yes [16:00] im logged in [16:00] baizon, and for as long as flash as been around no one has managed to get hardware acceleration in flash or at least write an open source alternative?

[16:03] ok [16:03] so which kubuntu s stable [16:03] I didn't knew there where a channel for nvidia [16:04] wonkabar, LTS is my preference but then I only install every 2 years. [16:04] lol i should have listed to people hehe [16:04] ok [16:04] yes, 14.04 is very stable imho [16:04] ~ [16:04] there is not [16:05] is there a diffrence between kubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 [16:05] wonkabar: newer packages [16:05] wonkabar, yes. 14.04 is supported for 5 years. [16:05] wonkabar: and shorter support [16:05] 14.10 9 months. [16:05] but, it seems that newer isnt better [16:06] it seems like you guys are saying 14.04 is best [16:06] wonkabar, I miss some the latest, greatest shiny stuff since I'm in LTS only but ... I also get way fewer headaches. YMMV [16:06] wonkabar: yes if you want it stable [16:07] hi, i used to connect to the net on this pc via tethering, with Ubuntu 12.04. Now that i put Ubuntu 14.04 on, i cannot connect to the internet via the tethering anymore. It starts connecting, but recieves no data. [16:07] if i use kubuntu 14.04 can i still install new packages [16:07] wonkabar, of course. [16:07] ok [16:07] wonkabar, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:07] thanx guys [16:08] you mean on 14.04 [16:08] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:08] wonkabar, that command works on all *buntus and I highly advise it's regular use. [16:08] on 14.04 [16:08] what does it do [16:09] upgrade kernel [16:09] dist-upgrade will move you to the latest release. you might just want apt-get upgrade [16:09] wonkabar, update refreshes the software list, dist-upgrade grabs all the refreshed packages in the distro ... kernel included. [16:09] Why does the upgrade break the tethering ? Is'nt an upgrade supposed to improve on it ? [16:10] now but it wont auttomaticly install 14.10 [16:10] cause i want stabilit [16:10] wonkabar, nope. that's a different commnd [16:10] sudo do-release-upgrade if you're curious [16:11] so nvidia card are trouble [16:11] should i downgrade back to 12.04 ? === Mitchell92 is now known as Mitchell92[A] [16:11] vs intel hd4600 [16:12] wonkabar, compared to intel, maybe, but nvidia is improving linux support ... slowly. [16:12] k [16:14] i cannot add any new addon to firefox, I can get rid of installed addons though. Help please [16:15] any reason why internet tethering worked on 12.04, but is now broken on 14.04 ? [16:16] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV38GL [Quadro FX 1300] (rev a2) got this with lspci | grep VGA, but I don't know how to make it work, it's connected, light on the screen connected on it, but nothing displayed [16:18] I already tried killing lightdm and installing NVIDIA driver 173.14.31 [16:18] ManicPanic start from the beginning, what have you tried so far? is it wifi or cable? [16:20] But It didn't worked, and apparently the driver is already installed, but when I choose this instead of Xserver, it just say "f**k you use Xserver" and don't want to use the driver [16:21] MonkeyDust: i connect the same smartphone via internet tethering on USB port. Its picked up by the OS, it makes a connection, but it idles. It recieves no returning data. Just sends requests out. [16:21] hey #ubuntu , beside top and iotop what can I use to profile a fresh Ubuntu 15 installation and remove what slows my computer down? [16:23] utopiah htop [16:23] MonkeyDust: thanks, and what are the usual bottlenecks? [16:24] i dont know where the problem is. [16:26] MonkeyDust: should i go back to 12.04 ? [16:27] ManicPanic what is the process for a downgrade? [16:27] hey guys, is there an official version of ubuntu that supports Gnome? [16:27] like Ubuntu Gnome? [16:27] Smokie: there is ubuntu gnome, yes [16:27] rtreleaven: just wiping the current OS and installing the old one i guess [16:28] k1l_, you think its better to use that or to install a normal version of Ubuntu desktop and then install Gnome on top of that? [16:28] ManicPanic if nobody can help you get tethering working on your current system then that is an option [16:28] <^Phantom^> So, for a fresh dual-boot with windows 7, on an 250gb HDD, is a 50/50 partition split a good choice? Each os gets half the drive [16:29] iirc ubuntu gnome uses a PPA to ship a modified version [16:29] ^Phantom^: sounds about right, if that's what you're looking for [16:30] <^Phantom^> The user is my dad. Windows 7 runs like crap on his laptop, whereas Lubuntu SCREAMS. He wants to keep windows for his games [16:30] <^Phantom^> The Live 14.04 runs fine [16:30] rtreleaven: the tethering works on 12.04 and on windows. Its 14.04 thats broken somehow [16:31] quit() [16:31] ^Phantom^: How much disk space is Windows presently using ? As an indicator of how much can be taken away . [16:32] hello [16:32] nobody here? [16:32] ManicPanic I heard you the first time. I am playing around now. [16:33] <^Phantom^> Bashing-om: it is 7 home premium just installed so probably 8GB [16:33] geoffb: Lots, this is ubuntu support, got a request ? Ask . [16:33] ManicPanic do you have another interface active as well? === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [16:34] ^Phantom^: Should then be absolutely no problem in splitting the hard deive up for both . [16:34] drive* [16:35] rtreleaven: i think its the new linux kernel thats breaking the network adapter somehow. But i will troubleshoot some more [16:35] <^Phantom^> Bashing-om: He said Ubuntu was too much whizbang, likes the look of Lubuntu and the performance it gives, so this is our route. I figure a 50/50 split gives room for both OSes to have plenty of wiggle room for data [16:36] <^Phantom^> And since I have enough know-how I will do this. I did the same on my old Dell [16:36] #canonical_support [16:37] ^Phantom^: True, and yeah, I too like lubuntu, my preference however is xfce for the desktop. soon enough yall will learn the options ( hundreds) . [16:37] ManicPanic going back to an old release is a bit drastic, better find a different solution... repeat your question here in the channel every 10-15 minutes or so, until someone can help [16:38] ManicPanic I am sending this text over tether [16:38] <^Phantom^> Bashing-om: oh I already run Lubuntu as my only OS on my 2003 laptop, which sports a desktop-size Pentium 4 [16:39] ^Phantom^: Great, but we are now drifting into off-topic . [16:39] <^Phantom^> right, sorry [16:41] ManicPanic when the adapter is up do route -n to see if the routing table is going to send traffic to it. [16:41] hello. Anyone else experiencing the "outdated flash" issue with firefox at the moment? I reckon it would apply to all regular users? [16:42] <^Phantom^> Bashing-om: i've never partitioned before so I'll come by for help after my appointment. Bbl [16:42] adrian_1908 is this what you are talking about http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/flash-blocked-firefox-1.3151045 ? [16:44] rtreleaven: that looks to be it, thanks for the link. [16:44] <^Phantom^> Oh yeah, is there a way to have Lubuntu automatically check for and install the latest flash update to prevent that issue for a not-so-update savvy user? [16:45] ^Phantom^: We are here to help. IF you are not comfortable, you can take the easy way out. Let the install wizard make all the decisions . It is quite smart . " install along side" option.

[16:48] adrian_1908: Ot is not Firefox at fault for flash support. It is that Adobe does not . There are other alternatives than Flash in Firefox - but not so easy for a new-user . [16:50] Bashing-om: Ah, right. Adobe supplies (or supplied) linux binaries directly, not the Ubuntu mirrors, right? I forgot about that. [16:50] adrian_1908 from adobe.com : "NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux." [16:51] adrian_1908: Correct. Proprietary code, and Adobe only provides to us the security updates for an old Flash version . [16:52] hey, if i want to use the newest kernel for my ubuntu, should i look over kernel.ubuntu.com for "mainline" and "wily" ? i want the stable version. thanks [16:52] MonkeyDust: Then i'll make the switch away right now, instead of worrying about workarounds.

[16:54] "need" [16:57] Bashing-om, honestly, i don't know enough the version 4 of kernel, i know just it will be part of Ubuntu 15.10. I do expect to have performace improvement and that's why i want to install it. I'm using Ubuntu 15.04. I need a stable kernel. Am i gonna to make a mistake? Thanks. [16:58] raskel: Honestly, the only way to know for sure is try it and see what results. Back up your data, IF it is a problem only a matter of minutes to (RE-)install . [16:59] Bashing-om, the older kernel version will still be available through the GRUB boot screen. I hardly think it'll be a matter of reinstalling. [16:59] Unless the kernel update actually corrupts his data. [16:59] hi [16:59] Daekdroom: :) . [17:00] Daekdroom, i know the same.

Only the left monitor comes back to life, the right one says that it doesnt get any input signal. I've tried to switch monitors and ports with out any diffrence in affect. The left monitor is the primary one. I need to restart the right monitor for the nvidia card to notice it and then sending it a signal. here is [17:13] drmagoo, you run proprietary driver ? [17:13] ioria: kind of, Its a Ubuntu 14.04 system with a gtx960 card.

[17:44] john___: most websites are using html5, so everything should work [17:45] I've tried looking in dconf-editor and general settings. All I find on google is that you can do it through the compiz settings but cinnamon doesnt do compiz so at a bit of a loss.. [17:46] BrazenBraden who are you talking to, about what? or was that a wrong paste? [17:46] no. i asked about 10 minutes ago with no response so was updating.. previous message: [17:46] I've tried looking in dconf-editor and general settings. All I find on google is that you can do it through the compiz settings but cinnamon doesnt do compiz so at a bit of a loss.. [17:47] sorry.. wrong one.. [17:47] BrazenBraden define "it" [17:47] hey guys. I have ubuntu 14.04 using cinnamon and im trying to disable the workspace switching when my mouse hits the edge of the screen. Any ideas how to do that? [17:48] <|TheWolf|> Hi [17:48] but this only works for youtube now or not?? [17:48] john___: youtube works without flash [17:48] john___: https://www.youtube.com/html5/ [17:49] yes and other websites now? [17:49] john___: like i said, it depends [17:49] all my websites work without flash [17:49] I have a problem with my nvidia card. I'm running two monitors of the same card and the problem is when I wake the system up. Only the left monitor comes back to life, the right one says that it doesnt get any input signal. I've tried to switch monitors and ports with out any diffrence in affect. The left monitor is the primary one. I need to restart the right monitor for the nvidia card to notice it and then sending it a signal. here is [17:49] this just activates it on youtube. thx for that, but what is with the rest that wants flash? [17:50] john___: it will switch automatically to html5 if you disable flash completely [17:50] oh ok let me do that [17:51] <|TheWolf|> I would like to use fail2ban to block brute force attacks on my ssh port. However, when testing I noticed that when I use Putty to connect to my server and I use wrong credentials, just one authentication failure is logged to /var/log/auth.log even if I mistype the password multiple times. Is that desired behavior? === dearn_ is now known as dearn === zz_CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob [17:55] Hello, after upgrading to 15.04 my mobile broadband connection disappeared or at least got disabled somehow.

[18:24] Question... does anyone know of a way to create an alias for a package, so that when a user runs apt-get for the alias on a machine, the package is installed? [18:28] romangineer: I hate to open a can of worms, why would you want this in the 1st place ? === digifiv5e is now known as Guest55992 === He4dShOt_ is now known as He4dShOt === ryan`c is now known as ryan-c === RogerDodger_ is now known as RogerDodger === felipealmeida_ is now known as felipealmeida === tizbac_ is now known as tizbac === miceiken_ is now known as miceiken === huttan_ is now known as huttan === Schrodin1 is now known as SchrodingersScat [18:35] hello, when lightdm loads, it shows the default ubuntu background image a fraction of a second and fade-in to show my desktop background image and the menu. how to do not show this default background? thanks for helping [18:35] where can search drivers for bluetooth? [18:35] @Bashing-om that's always a good question. There's a chef recipe I want to consume, but it is referencing the openssl-dev package which is named libssl-dev in the source repo [18:35] I swear this chef recipe worked fine before, but now I'm getting an error that it can't find the openssl-dev package [18:36] Exagone313: you have autologin enabled? [18:36] no [18:36] Exagone313: then what do you mean by it shows the default one for a sec then your users? [18:36] yes [18:37] This recipe specifically: https://github.com/mobileoverlord/chef-odbc [18:37] 1~ [18:37] when lightdm shows up, it shows the default background, then when you login it shows your users [18:38] but my only one user is shown directly, and it loads its background [18:38] I don't want to replace the default background image by a black image, I prefer to edit a setting [18:38] Exagone313: still dont get what you mean === helloworld is now known as Guest36216 [18:39] ok [18:39] Exagone313: you mean your user's background is shown when lightdm starts before you login? [18:39] ( login, not lock the account ) [18:40] yes right, but just before that I have the default ubuntu background [18:40] when it starts or when you lock the account? [18:40] when it starts [18:40] I have cinnamon also === xangua_ is now known as xangua [18:40] well that's not default behavior, it should only show the default one [18:40] Exagone313 i guess you mean plymouth, the default is with the dots [18:41] have you installed something? [18:41] not plymouth [18:41] @Bashing-om BRB have to restart [18:41] yes I installed and use cinnamon [18:41] romangineer: OK, can not see the relevance of an alias to obtain libssl-dev ; Package libssl-dev >> trusty-updates (libdevel): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files >> 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.15: amd64 i386 . // To creat an alias see ' cat .bashrc ' . [18:41] Exagone313: ok, so you want your user's background to show when lightdm starts? [18:43] my start sequence is actually: grub -> black screen -> plymouth -> black screen -> default's ubuntu's background -> (fade-in) user's background with password field etc... [18:43] Exagone313: ok, type sudo -i [18:43] then [18:43] xhost +local: [18:44] romangineer, maybe you need libcurl4-openssl-dev ? [18:44] can you describe me this command? [18:44] @Bashing-om BAK [18:44] I clone a web site, and the only difference in the file structure is that the original has SetUID permissions all over ... 'S'. When I hit the new one, files fail with no error given. If I copy the original directory retaining permissions, no problem. Why? [18:44] Exagone313: what do you mean? what it does? [18:44] Exagone313: it allows any local user to use your xserver for now [18:44] romangineer: My last : romangineer: OK, can not see the relevance of an alias to obtain libssl-dev ; Package libssl-dev >> trusty-updates (libdevel): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files >> 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.15: amd64 i386 . // To creat an alias see ' cat .bashrc ' . [18:45] I read the man === wagle_ is now known as wagle [18:45] non-network local connections being added to access control list [18:45] Exagone313: ok, type su lightdm -s /bin/bash [18:45] romangineer: From ioria " romangineer, maybe you need libcurl4-openssl-dev ? " [18:45] done [18:46] Exagone313: dconf-editor [18:46] Exagone313: then go to com > canonical > unity-greeter [18:46] I edit the background field? [18:46] Exagone313: open another terminal and copy your user's background to /usr/share/backgrounds [18:46] ok [18:46] thanks [18:46] @Bashing-om alias is probably not a good word, since there are command line aliases. I was thinking if I could type "apt-get install openssl-dev" and it would install libssl-dev, that it would "fix" the issue I am dealing with [18:46] yeah, it has to be in /usr/share/backgrounds though or somewhere outside of your home dir [18:47] Exagone313: it might only work with .png too, not sure [18:47] I'll try [18:48] romangineer: Now that is the more understandable. What is the issue you are facing ? What results when you " sudo apt-get install openssl-dev " ? [18:49] @Bashing-om it's this chef recipe https://github.com/mobileoverlord/chef-odbc/blob/master/recipes/source.rb it wants to install "openssl-devel" but that package doesn't exist in the package repo [18:49] or background can be a color [18:49] I just have to set black [18:49] #000000 [18:50] i think that's the background color that's shown before the wallpaper is shown [18:50] @ioria libcurl4-openssl-dev appears to be a dev version of libcurl [18:50] EriC^^: in the description it is written a file or a color [18:51] Exagone313: oh ok [18:51] thought you meant the lower one [18:51] romangineer: What release are you on ? As my prior does reflect that openssl-dev is available for 14.04 and the version available there . do: ' apt-cache show openssl-dev ' for confirmations . [18:52] no package found [18:52] !info openssl-dev trusty [18:52] Ubuntu 14.04 [18:52] Package openssl-dev does not exist in trusty [18:52] It's strange, I wear this recipe worked before [18:52] EriC^^: then xhost -local: ? [18:52] romangineer, maybe it's for redhat ... in fedora is present [18:53] Exagone313: yes [18:53] @ioria I do see references in the recipe to redhat and centos [18:54] No references to ubuntu, prob was developed for one of those OSes [18:54] romangineer, maybe [18:54] romangineer: Perhaps as ioria advised, that is a part of libgnutls-dev ? see: ' apt-cache search openssl-dev ' . [18:54] can someone give me the first line of the file /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub ? [18:54] (if ...) [18:54] if background_color 44,0,30,0; then [18:54] thanks [18:58] I'm pretty sure the openssl-dev package in ubuntu is this one: libssl-dev - Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files [18:58] I do apt-cache search libssl-dev I see that package [18:59] In attempt to solve my problem of this recipe looking for package by name of openssl-dev, I was wondering if it was possible to give a package more than one name [18:59] So that when I run apt-get install openssl-dev it actually installs libssl-dev [18:59] romangineer: one package, one name [18:59] sometimes the name of the package is different from the program in it. [19:00] Ok, looks like I'll have to fork le repo and update it. [19:00] romangineer: I am open to learning here also, as the package is available http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libssl-dev&searchon=names&suite=trusty-updates§ion=all ; but not directly from 14.04 repository . [19:00] is there support for the xbox one controller 14.04? [19:01] @Bashing-om oh, libssl-dev is there, I can see it [19:01] I just installed it [19:01] !info libssl-dev trusty [19:01] libssl-dev (source: openssl): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - development files. In component main, is optional. Version 1.0.1f-1ubuntu2.15 (trusty), package size 965 kB, installed size 4844 kB [19:01] Bashing-om: its in the regular repo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libssl-dev [19:02] hey everyone...whats the util I should use to set a satic IP in ubuntu desktop? [19:02] err static [19:02] The solution I was considering (giving a package a second name) won't work, so I'll just update the chef recipe code. That's the proper way to do it anyways, I was just trying to be lazy. [19:02] k1l_: L) checking again . O do make my share of errors . [19:02] Lurchy: network manager (called NM) [19:03] EriC^^: thanks it worked [19:03] Thanks @ioria @Bashing-om @k1l_ for your help! [19:03] to ask another way, why would the SGID bit in permissions in any way cause the http retrieval of css files to fail? [19:04] romangineer: well, if that recipe is for centos/redhat you will need to make some adjustments anyways. you then have a ubuntu recipe :) [19:04] k1l_: Yep, my wires were crossed :( [19:05] CHI MI VUOLE? === ALFA is now known as Guest68006 [19:05] I tried to edit the file /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.grub to edit the grub's background color, but it became completely black with "if background_color 17,187,34,0; then" (first line). I don't understand what the fourth number does (what opacity here?) [19:06] k1l...thanks for the info [19:07] brainfart moment.....Ifconfig for full network info screen in terminal???? [19:08] Exagone313: i dont think that's how you're supposed to change grub's background [19:08] Exagone313 There is a grub 2 manual on line I would check it out. [19:08] i just found it here https://askubuntu.com/questions/47488/how-to-change-the-purple-background-color-in-grub/82223#82223 [19:10] i would use grub customizer http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-1404/ [19:10] I prefer to do it manually [19:10] Exagone313: modify the file back to the way it was [19:10] Exagone313: then type sudo nano /etc/default/grub [19:11] I'm doing this to see if back to purple at least [19:12] EriC^^: what line I add here? === Evanion[AFK] is now known as Evanion [19:15] EriC^^: I found a way in this file for an image, but I want a color === jottr_ is now known as jottr [19:16] but I can try [19:18] Exagone313: maybe make a black background image and use it === teward- is now known as teward [19:20] hello all [19:22] EriC^^: I try a blue one, I restart (after update-grub) to see the change === phillips1012 is now known as solenoids === sysop is now known as Guest62738 [19:24] EriC^^: it worked [19:24] I ended to customize ubuntu [19:26] Exagone313: great [19:26] could someone help me install this driver for my scanner? i am not sure what to do http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=15830&DSCCHK=405295b29a97b4e570a57ce69df9097305c1a464 [19:26] Hola. Yo tengo una pregunta muy importante de ubuntu. Necesito ayuda. [19:26] I'm creating a deb package and I'm trying to validate a certain ENV VAR on preinst, I want to stop installation if this ENV VAR is not set. So I do the check and if I find that it's not set I 'exit 1', however for some reason the package says that an error occured but keeps on to the postinst [19:26] anmename2, Have you tried simple scan? [19:26] Tengo una problema muy grave de ubuntu. [19:26] bubbasaures, yeah, it is telling me that it is unable to connect to the scanner, although it seems it knows which model it is [19:27] also, the scanner's light is not turned on\ [19:27] excrete, Que problema tienes?

[19:32] For the record, excrete was saying something about having the head of a turtle or something like that [19:33] Finetundra: yeah, he is (made) gone. so dont mind the trolls :) [19:33] cofo, So is the persistent 400mb only, that is tiny? [19:33] I didn't know how much to put, he recommend 300-700mb [19:33] Anyway I can't install okular... .__. [19:33] or even change the time [19:33] anmename2, install this libgtk2.0-dev and try again .7configure [19:34] apt-get return error during install [19:34] ./configure [19:34] k1l_: yeah, he actually went to a different channel, but yeah I won't mind them [19:34] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/CQaTCxvc/ [19:34] cofo, I would use all 4 gigs if you have the space, you can make a partition a casper-rw as big as you want. What is the end goal so we can size analyze? [19:34] ioria, ok, let me see [19:34] I have but i didn't know [19:34] GreenDay: put the command and output into a pastebin and show the url here [19:34] it doesn't matter i just need help to do that.. [19:35] cofo, I suspect you are not aware of the severe limitations of a live. [19:35] What? [19:35] exactly [19:35] any, what would cause wine's internet explorer to work better on debian than ubuntu? [19:35] Finetundra: the wine version? [19:36] I could install okular before, i created the ubuntu live usb again.. [19:36] k1l_: 1.6.2 [19:37] Finetundra: i mean using a different version on ubuntu and debian could cause a different behaviour [19:37] both are using the same version [19:38] Im in Grub customizer to get rid of windows boot loader and it also shows that i have several ubuntu-generic loader.Can I remove those? [19:38] Anyone with experience can help me? [19:39] truffel, Is windows installed? [19:39] not anymore [19:39] bubbasaurers: what is your answer? [19:39] Hi EriC^^ [19:39] truffel, A grub update will remove what is needed, that customizer is a bad idea. [19:39] hi cofo [19:39] ioria, i did .7configure and it returned 'command not found'. then i did ./configure and it seemed to work, i think, not sure what it is meant to return, then i did make and it returned some error, should i paste it in some website and show you? [19:39] ./configure [19:40] configure is ok ? [19:40] why would i need windows boot loader if I only boot to ubuntu [19:40] truffel, If you have more that 2 kernel sets you want removed we can help you there. [19:40] anyone have experience using ytalk on ubuntu? me and another user that are logged in are attempting to use ytalk to talk through the terminal, but we both get [Waiting for connection..." when using " ytalk user@127.0.0.1 [19:40] bubbasaures: I don't understand why you don't give me an answer [19:40] anmename2, configure is ok now ? [19:40] truffel, So what happens when you boot the computer? [19:40] ioria, i think so, let me show you [19:40] i guess you ignored me then [19:41] it ask what to boot to windows boot manager of like 3 different ubuntuloaders [19:41] If anyone can help me tl;dr : I can't install on ubuntu live and I set persistent of 400mb that should be enough for me. [19:41] anmename2, i'm tying that... your error is ltdl... [19:41] truffel, Err start the computer, the language your using, makes it hard find the actual issue [19:42] I guess i just want to remove extra kernals [19:42] anmename2, you can solve with libltdl-dev ... but you'll get other errors... i'll pass :( [19:42] ioria, http://pastebin.com/tR94X40C [19:43] anmename2, as said you can solve that with libltdl-dev ... but you'll get other errors... [19:43] truffel, here is some info, I would not use that customizer personally, what it does is easier to just know or google. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/RemoveOldKernels [19:44] ioria, hmmm [19:44] truffel, That is an opinion on the app, not advice persay. [19:45] anmename2, you'll get error: invalid conversion from 'const void*' to 'const dirent**' [-fpermissive] ... it will need some studying ... unlikly... maybe it's not a good file [19:45] ioria, http://pastebin.com/DKZhgJFD [19:45] thx...so personally if you un-istalled windows would you remove the windows boot manager? [19:45] ioria, so, do you have any advices you think that would help? :( [19:46] cofo: what are you trying to do? [19:46] Basically this how i installed ubuntu live on usb http://cdn3.blogsdna.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/usbuntu-live-creator-15.png and I configure to something like 400mb. I can't install okular. [19:47] Mean I have no space [19:47] anmename2, are you sure idùs the right file ? :( [19:47] hello [19:48] cofo: type df -h and see if you have space [19:48] ioria, i think so [19:48] cofo: why use a persistent live usb anyways, install as usual to the usb and use a standalone installation, it's better [19:48] Hello [19:49] so i managed to both dual boot Windows 8.1 and (K)ubuntu 15.04, as well as boot windows and VirtualBox the (K)ubuntu. But there's no graphical desktop :( [19:49] i want only live and to add programs [19:49] I want live.. [19:49] For years Skype worked fine. Now after an update and reboot. Skype doesn't MIC doesn't work every time. [19:49] cofo: if you install to the usb it's basically like the persistent live one, you plug the usb and boot it [19:50] how do i get graphics/video to work? do i need to disable nvidia drivers or anything? [19:50] and you can update kernels etc. i dont think you can update kernels with a persistent live usb, and i think most have a 4gb limit [19:50] fullstack, From the ubuntu repos's or skype? [19:50] ioria, are you aware of any packets that may include my driver? (for epson perfection 2480 PHOTO) [19:51] EriC^^: heya, remember a long long time ago i was trying to dual boot + virtualize 2 OSs on each other? [19:51] regedit1: yeah somewhat [19:51] don't recall the virtualize part [19:51] ioria, hmm http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1004410 [19:52] EriC^^: well at long last and after plenty of adventures, i am now in (K)ubuntu virtualized on windows. Both OSs reside on the physical disk (partitions) [19:52] EriC^^: except video/graphics dont work... [19:52] I'm on ubuntu live currently. When I download something It doesn't let me because I have no space. [19:52] EriC^^: i am now in weechat-curses [19:52] regedit1: why did you use a vm if you installed to the physical disk? [19:53] cofo: type df -h [19:53] cofo: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 [19:53] bubbasaures, I don't know [19:53] EriC^^: because sometimes i need to work in both, and most of the time i do boot straight into linux [19:53] seems i have space [19:53] but i can't install okular [19:53] regedit1: oh ok [19:53] anmename2, no, sorry... not now [19:53] EriC^^: is there a conflict between booting into ubuntu proper and when booting it through virtualbox? [19:54] regedit1: no, just less performance [19:54] bubbasaures, but I noticed the Sound settings saids Pulse audio and it never said pulse audiop before [19:54] EriC^^: perhaps different graphics/video config required? [19:54] EriC^^: ctrl+alt+f7 shows me black screen :( [19:55] regedit1: did you install the virtualbox drivers? [19:55] ioria, do me a last favor and help me install this https://github.com/dickens/libusb [19:55] please [19:55] fullstack, IN a terminal run alsamixer and see what's there. [19:55] EriC^^: oh like the guest additions stuff? [19:55] regedit1: yeah [19:55] EriC^^: oh not yet, is that the only way graphics can work? [19:56] what does ubuntu use as default PDF reader? [19:56] ioria, wait, i think it is actually installed on my ubuntu [19:56] hi [19:56] :) [19:56] * regedit1 shoots mr corleone [19:56] fullstack, My only concern was the repo you installed from, there are two choices, generally one or the other works, the wiki suggests the ubuntu repos version. === vito_ is now known as Guest86169 === regedit1 is now known as regedit [19:56] What's the correct way to remove a patch completely and rebuild a package, I'm removing it using quilt and then it's making me run dpkg-source --commit twice in between dpkg-buildpackage runs [19:57] !evince | BluesKaj [19:57] regedit1: no, usually you don't have to install much to get it to work, running lspci -k in a vm shows me e1000 as the driver in use [19:57] !find e1000 [19:57] File e1000 found in esys-particle, flightgear-data-models, ipxe-qemu, linux-doc, linux-goldfish-headers-3.4.0-4, linux-headers-3.19.0-15, linux-headers-3.19.0-15-generic, linux-headers-3.19.0-15-lowlatency, linux-headers-3.19.0-16, linux-headers-3.19.0-16-generic (and 27 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=e1000&mode=&suite=vivid&arch=any [19:58] regedit: try to reinstall the virtualbox drivers packages and dkms stuff i guess [19:58] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/3zj3 [19:58] fullstack, if you go to settings-sound there are controls there, I have in the past had to tweak this for skype. === afkthairus is now known as athairus [19:58] cofo: how big is your persistence? [19:58] 400mb i think [19:59] it says i have 15mb left only [19:59] EriC^^: i see something about innotek VGA compatible triver [19:59] ok, i think it's full [19:59] *driver [19:59] cofo: ok, delete stuff from it [19:59] what can i delete lol [19:59] i don't have anything [19:59] i don't know, i honestly don't know much about persistence [20:00] this .__. [20:00] bubbasaures, errr! apparently it wasn't skype at all. It was some "feature" (!@#!@#!@!@#) that "detects" if the mic is plugged in or not is buggy [20:00] nvm [20:00] cofo: installing to the usb would be way better === helloworld is now known as Guest96184 [20:00] bubbasaures, after unplugging and plugging in a dozen times it works but this is horrible how do I turn off "you plugged in a mic" detection feature? Just use it all the time [20:00] fullstack, I figured that, some config change in it maybe. [20:00] cofo: it's a 16gb i think and you're using only 400mb with it, and it's limited [20:00] What do you mean? [20:01] Installing to the usb? [20:01] you install as usual, except instead of choosing your hdd, you choose the usb and choose the bootloader to be installed to the usb too [20:01] EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11879416/ [20:01] then you just boot and use it and update kernels and life is good [20:01] I can't spend 5-15 minutes trying to figure out the mic works or not everytime I need to make a call [20:01] fullstack, You should not have to use it like that, I would work on getting it working, not an area I'm more than going to have to foo the web for. [20:02] bubbasaures, ok just wondering if it was a latest wow around here [20:02] fullstack, I would be sure it's not the mic first, and no no one has claimed this issue here. [20:03] regedit: try sudo apt-get install dkms [20:03] might be the plug, could be a number of things, including user understanding. ;) [20:03] EriC^^: when booting into kubuntu proper i already do have dkms and nvidia drivers [20:05] EriC^^: yup apt-get says already installed === Guest55992 is now known as guyz [20:06] regedit: try to install the guest additions iso it might fix it [20:06] I'm trying to set a hard drive to automount on startup. I'm following the ubuntu directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions, which instruct the use of a command like this: /media/kajo --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/1E5A07C65A0799A3. Problem is, all the terminal gives me when I try to put that in to see if it works is [20:06] '/media/kajo is a directory'. what am I doing wrong? [20:06] EriC^^: ok will do thanks [20:07] kajo: you want to automount a ntfs partition? [20:09] EriC^^: yes [20:09] kajo: ok, type sudo nano /etc/fstab to add it there [20:10] hello all [20:10] the uuid address? [20:10] yes and the mount options [20:11] EriC^^: so you're saying to paste this line: /media/kajo --mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/1E5A07C65A0799A3 into /etc/fstab? === kkworden is now known as Mr_Burkes [20:11] kajo: use UUID= /media/kajo ntfs defaults,auto 0 0 [20:11] Hi, running 14.04 and Firefox 39.0. Seems like Flash started acting up and will always ask me for permission to run. Do I need to change browser or will the Flash plugin be updated eventually so the message would not pop up all the time? [20:11] kajo: no, nevermind that line [20:11] kajo: do you want to mount it with certain permissions? who's the owner etc. ? [20:12] EriC^^: I just want to treat it like an extension of my own file system. Nothing fancy, one user system. I don't keep applications there, just files, folders, and media. [20:12] DrGrov: yeah, it'll be fixed soon i guess [20:13] kajo: ok, what's your user's uid? type id [20:13] EriC^^: i've selected the option to insert guest additions CD but without GUI how do i make it run? [20:14] DrGrov, Saw an flash update today. [20:14] UUID: 1E5A07C65A0799A3 [20:14] EriC^^: Okay, I would do not like to change Firefox for something else. So, just to keep enabling from time to time and remember on certain sites. [20:14] EriC^^: UUID: 1E5A07C65A0799A3 [20:14] kajo: no, i mean your user's uid [20:14] DrGrov: Are you aware there is an active vulnerability in Flash, and Moxillia has turned Flash down ? [20:15] kajo: type id , it should say your uid and gid [20:15] DrGrov, You using noscript on flash on/off? [20:15] EriC^^: 1000 [20:15] Bashing-om: Ah okay, so I gotta change the browser then. [20:15] bubbasaures: No, I am using having Ghostery. [20:16] Bashing-om: So, I would need to change my browser then? [20:16] DrGrov, Ah, I assume your aware of this other, use what works. [20:17] bubbasaures: So it is enough to keep adding exceptions to which sites can run Flash now and wait for the update? [20:17] kajo: use UUID= /media/kajo ntfs defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=111,umask=111,dmask=000 0 0 [20:18] DrGrov, That is a personal thing, myself a flash vulnerability is funny, in linux. [20:18] DrGrov: There is some discussion on the issue on ubuntuforums. one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2285878 . [20:18] the one we use is ancient ayway [20:18] EriC^^: put that line into /etc/fstab? [20:18] bubbasaures: Okay, so probably there is no big risk then? [20:18] kajo: yes, replacing your uuid [20:18] kajo: UUID=342423... /media.... [20:18] Bashing-om: Okay, thank you. Will go in and read. I just would feel sad to have to change Firefox to something else. === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [20:19] And I need Flash on my Finnish TV service which I get online :( [20:19] DrGrov, I cannot confirm or deny, this is your analysis and your worries. [20:19] bubbasaures: Ok === Evanion[AFK] is now known as Evanion [20:20] DrGrov: Yeah, I did see that there is a possible work-a-round and still use FireFox . [20:20] Bashing-om: Okay, thank you. I will read on what happens. [20:21] EriC^^: guess I'll restart my computer to see if it works? [20:21] kajo: no, type mount -a [20:21] *sudo mount -a [20:22] EriC^^: does this mount it before my desktop environment loads on startup, then? [20:22] kajo: yeah [20:22] EriC^^: any risks from that? Otherwise, it works great, thanks. [20:22] not really [20:23] kajo: no problem, are you able to create files with your user? [20:23] Bashing-om: But on Ubuntu, will an eventual Flash update fix the issue? === RazWelle1 is now known as RazW [20:24] EriC^^: any ideas?.. [20:24] EriC^^:what do you mean? If I double click the icon for it in unity, access it in nautilus, and then right click and select 'new file', it lets me do that. does that answer your question? [20:24] i have a dell inspiron 14 series 3000 whose keyboard model is not listed in keyboard-configuration applicati === RazW is now known as RazWelles [20:24] the f1, f2, f3, keys arent working.. [20:25] the remaining ones seems to work properly. [20:25] EriC^^: I did have to run mount -a with 'sudo', though. [20:25] kajo: you might need to let your user have rwx at the mountpoint if it's not set already [20:25] DrGrov, You might note what version of flash is blocked https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p946 [20:25] DrGrov: As to an eventual fix, can not say . [20:25] how do i flash bios in ubuntu? [20:26] kajo: yeah, no problem in the future it will automount on boot, try to create a file in the main dir with your user === justinS_ is now known as jhsimpson [20:26] bubbasaures: Yes, I got my version to be blocked and it starts showing up on all sites, unless I specfically make an exception to remember to use Flash on that particular site. [20:27] EUFIz: Generally you use a special utility from the manufacturer. The OS usually doesn't have write access to the CMOS. [20:27] EriC^^:not sure what you want me to do. If I go there in terminal, I can use 'touch' fine. === bpsizemore is now known as zz_bpsizemore [20:27] kajo: ok, great [20:29] bubbasaures: Explain this to me please :) [20:29] EriC^^:thanks [20:29] hello team, i tried to dual boot ubuntu with win8.1 but at installation by mistake selected lvm and then did reboot, my all partitions now in ubuntu live cd shows as single lvm, how can i recover data of old win8.1 [20:29] kajo: np [20:29] DrGrov, Explain what? [20:29] jhutchins_wk: i begg to difer bacause i was always able to flash bios using windows [20:29] bubbasaures: I went here, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/p946 and check it was Flash Player Plugin 18.0.0.203 (click-to-play) that was blocked. [20:30] anyone please, i am getting black screen (no graphics/video) booting into (k)ubuntu, any ideas? [20:30] bubbasaures: Then I went to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ and saw this, Adobe Flash Player [20:30] Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 [20:30] Up to Date [20:30] 11.2.202.481 [20:30] hello [20:30] everyone [20:30] hello tycoon [20:30] bubbasaures: So, how should I really make up anything of that? Am I affected or not? [20:31] EUFIz: You still need the tool & procedure from the manufacturer, and it may not be Linux compatible (although more are these days). [20:31] DrGrov, I think your a bit mixed up, ghostery is not a flash control app, noscript is, you are not using the blocked flash. [20:31] i'm new to irc and want to know about? [20:31] tycoon: maybe [20:31] EUFIz: If you did it from within Windows, it wasn't with a part of Windows or with a Microsoft tool. [20:32] bubbasaures: No no, I am not doing anything with Ghostery at the moment. [20:32] so tell me about how irc is used [20:32] Hi. Which IPsec algorithms does Ubuntu 14.03 LTS support? [20:32] 04* [20:32] but its acessible from withing the OS [20:32] bubbasaures: I am fully aware what Ghostery is. [20:32] bubbasaures: So, when I am not using the blocked Flash I am good or? [20:33] DrGrov, I'm not your best help, I'm not even concerned in the least and it is not an area I can speak with any real accuracy in. ;) [20:33] tycoon: IRC is many talk to many . [20:33] bubbasaures: Okay ;) I mean just that the two versions are completely unrelated, 18.x and 12.x which I am using. === dv__ is now known as dv_ [20:34] DrGrov, Yeah, I know it is that way unless you use the pepperflash === edu is now known as edupt [20:34] if i want to talk to someone if i know ip of his computer than i can chat with him or not? [20:34] bubbasaures: So, that is a good thing yes? Or is the old 12.x version safer so to speak? [20:34] RC is run by the 1%to spy on the 99% [20:34] tycoon, This is support not chat. [20:34] IRC* [20:34] bubbasaures: No, 11.2.x I mean :D [20:35] thats the internet [20:36] just fuck off [20:36] How can I know if I am using Pepperflash for Firefox or not? Can someone clarify this for me so I can put mind to rest? I am getting frustrated. [20:36] DrGrov, I can't claim anything in safety, I started on linux/opensource, never had an issue, so a red flag like this with flash is a good chuckle here. [20:36] Hello! I am using a xillinux (it is based in ubuntu). I want to connect a dongle wifi, but it isn't working. When I do iwconfig it doesn't appear wlan0, onlin "lo no wireless extensions." and "eth0 no wireless extensions"? Can someone help me? Thanks very much. [20:36] Hi [20:36] flash isnt opensource [20:37] DrGrov: There is now this : UUID= /media/kajo ntfs defaults,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000,fmask=111,umask=111,dmask=000 0 0 [20:37] Hey, is no one saying anything about that swearing going on? Is that suddenly allowed? [20:37] Hi , when i take a screenshot of a windows the tool captures my desktop background [20:37] DrGrov: Opps, bad paste. wait one . [20:37] Hi , when i take a screenshot of area of a window the tool captures my desktop background [20:37] Bashing-om: I thought that was a bit odd, I wondered if you had a image of my disk or something LOL [20:38] i tried shutter and some other programs [20:38] DrGrov: There is now this : http://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-now-blocks-all-versions-of-flash-player-by-default/#ftag=YHFb1d24ec . [20:38] but its the same [20:38] DrGrov:its the ops that control that nick [20:38] They are nuts [20:38] they are just baiting [20:38] Bashing-om: Thank you, I will check that out. [20:39] That's nice that ops keep swearing and other users when even saying a bad word gets into a lot of trouble [20:39] Nice double morale LOL [20:39] its called baiting [20:39] they hunting for trolls === regedit is now known as regedit__ [20:39] Yeah but is that correct behavior for staff? [20:40] its probablly not staff [20:40] Hi , when i take a screenshot of area of a window the tool captures my desktop background instead of the area i selected [20:40] its above them [20:40] its higer powers [20:41] dark powers [20:41] hi [20:41] Hello! I'm trying to configure the default Firefox provided by Ubuntu 15.04 (version 39) in French, and I can't find how. My system is using the French locale and the firefox-locale-fr package, but the menus and interface are still in English [20:42] on247 before you take a screenshot, select you "only area" or whatever equivalent [20:42] i did [20:42] you select* [20:42] on247 what tool is that? [20:42] hey DrGrov if you are freaked out by flash exploit check this one out http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/14/hacking_team_stealth_rootkit/ [20:43] it selects that area but on the background! [20:43] like if the window wasnt there [20:43] on247 does the tool have a name? [20:43] i get nice captures of my desktop background [20:43] Shutter [20:43] and screenshot [20:43] EUFI has its uses after all [20:43] EUFIz: No, I am not freaked out. Just curious to know what can be done to prevent it somehow as a simple user. [20:44] Apteryx, Might try #firefox if needed [20:44] besides lokking the computer to MS OS [20:45] hi everybody! [20:46] i just use the latest NVIDIA driver on Ubuntu MATE, that's fuck up all my linux kernel! [20:46] DrGrov: that state grade spyware [20:46] that was a shit!

[20:54] follow this link [20:54] ok [20:54] thanks very much [20:54] I will try [20:54] pi_, make sure he is on precise :-) [20:54] but still whatever windows is above it only lets me select from desktop [20:55] like the window wasnt there [20:56] on247 do you have the same issue in Unity? [20:56] on247 what's the output of cat /etc/issue [20:56] yes [20:56] Apteryx, Ah, that's not very nice. [20:56] in Unity, you have tried? [20:57] on247 ^^^ [20:57] Sometimes my gnome-classic sessions simply crashes and I get to the login screen [20:58] this is totally annoying. I assume it has to do something with window management [20:58] what apps do you all reccomend? [20:58] jemmastorm, please don't poll here, thanks. [20:58] tokam, If you assume this, add your rhetoric for the channel. [20:58] why? [20:59] bubbasaures: ? [20:59] bubbasaures: I already opened a thread at ask ubuntu. [20:59] hi all [20:59] bubbasaures: might be a reason for the issue, that my ram is larger than my swap? [21:00] tokam, Link to your post? [21:00] http://askubuntu.com/questions/617379/my-gnome-session-crashes-how-to-find-out-why-and-solve-the-problem [21:00] http://askubuntu.com/q/617379/222371 [21:01] tokam: as rule of thumb your swap should be double your ram size [21:01] My file system seems to be stuck in read only if anyone can help [21:01] tokam, , thanks, my interest was in you giving enough details, you made an assumption, but no cause for you assumed effect. [21:01] Can I free space from root and assign it to swap? [21:01] EUFIz, double? too much. [21:01] yes use gparted [21:02] that is a terrible rule [21:02] bubbasaures: because always when the sessoin crashes, I am either resizing or selecting a new window. [21:02] or moving windows e.g. from one screen to an other. [21:02] hey, guys. i am back. so, trying to make my scanner to work, i messed up the file 'dll.conf' in /etc/sane.d . does anyone know where i could download the default config file so that i will replace it? [21:02] it just happened 5 minutes ago and I was switching tabs with alt+tab [21:02] Generally it's supposed to be about the same size, in theory so you can hibernate. [21:02] OerHeks: only a proble if you had small SSD [21:03] EUFIz, haha I know right? 32GB of RAM is half my SSD, haha. [21:03] EUFIz, you made that rule up yourself. [21:03] no i didnt [21:03] EUFIz: no that is a terrible rule [21:04] EUFIz: the old rule of 1.5X your RAM is also a bad rule now, but did have it's merits 20 years ago [21:04] mat1tc: If the file system detects an error, it mounts read only. maybe a file system check/repair will fix ? ' sudo touch /forcefsck ; sudo shutdown -r now ' . [21:04] OerHeks, EUFIz. have 2x the RAM as SWAP is a rule. I read about it. But I disagree with it. What if I had 128GB of RAM. That would be 256 GB of SWAP. The OS won't even use the SWAP [21:04] if i had an SSD i wouldnt even have a sawp partition [21:05] EUFIz: I'm not sure how one has to do with the other [21:05] ubuntu uses a swap file [21:05] EUFIz: ive ssd AND swap partition [21:05] but under FEdora ;) [21:05] Bashing-om: Thanks - will try it now - back shortly [21:05] mjbrancato with that much ram, you don't need swap [21:05] if you have a modern amount of memory, no need for swap. [21:06] ubuntu swappiness default is 60 [21:06] There is a use case for SWAP, even with a modern amount of ram [21:06] Mine has a swap partition. I should have just got rid of it. I currently have 32GB, but I left the SWAP in there just in case. I run a lot of stuff sometimes. [21:06] 10 in most cases, which won't swap out often. [21:06] but not 2X RAM [21:06] someone paste somewhere their /etc/sane.d/dll.conf file for me please [21:06] i don't hibernate, so no use. [21:06] I agree though. SWAPs are pointless. Yah I don't hibernate either, lol. [21:07] if you have a 1 tera + HDD theres no reason not to have a sawp 2x the ram [21:07] i think you're missing the point of swap EUFIz [21:07] amnename32 http://paste.ubuntu.com/11879693/ [21:07] Bashing-om: "sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/mat/0: No such file or directory touch: cannot touch ‘/forcefsck’: Read-only file system" [21:07] <_jay> having issues with firefox and flash, I get warnings that I'm not up to date even though FF plugin check page says I am good. I'm curious if there is perhaps a conflict with pipelight install? [21:07] But using your SWAP is always going to be slower than the RAM. So no point if you have 64 GB of RAM for example and not ever hitting it [21:07] <_jay> For some reason when starting native FF the wine pop-up comes up [21:07] EUFIz: yes there is a reason. That reason being, "You don't have any use for 2X RAM swap size" [21:08] sawp is used once your ram is used up and for hibernation [21:08] you need at least the same size of ram you are using for hibernation [21:08] mat1tc: That sorta makes sense . boot in 'recovery' mode and run the file system check from that console . else we check from a liveDVD . [21:09] EUFIz: so then any value over 1X, which is far less than 2X [21:09] Correct, but if you put enough RAM in your computer, more than plenty, you should never hit the SWAP. Besides it's super slow.... OH that's why I can't hibernate. Who cares, I don't use it anyways [21:09] Bashing-om: ok - let me grab another laptop so I can stay on here [21:09] EUFIz: like 1.1X [21:09] 2x is good engough for me [21:09] mat1tc: K . [21:09] EUFIz: why not 3X? [21:09] Why not 50x? so stupid, lol [21:09] EUFIz: 3X is obviously better than 2X [21:09] if it fits your needs go right haed [21:09] mjbrancato: 51X [21:09] head [21:10] lol [21:10] MonkeyDust, thanks! [21:10] EUFIz: I finally found a reference to 2X. Swap should equal 2x physical RAM for up to 2 GB of physical RAM, and then an additional 1x physical RAM for any amount above 2 GB, but never less than 32 MB. https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s1-swap-what-is.html [21:10] we got a MR obviuse in here [21:10] Then there is a math equation that is SWAP = RAM + 2 [21:11] you cant go wrong with 2x the ram sixe in any case [21:11] size [21:11] EUFIz: yes you can. [21:11] it fits all use cases [21:11] with 256 gb ram, you can :-) [21:11] EUFIz, even for 128GB DDR4 emmory? [21:12] EUFIz, now get over it [21:12] Bashing-om: Ok - back on work laptop: It boots into "emergency mode" Trying fsck now [21:12] I would have to buy a SSD just for the swap [21:12] EUFIz: Lets say I have a 500GB hard drive and 32GB RAM and need to store 450GB of data [21:12] still nothing wrong would happend [21:12] there is point in swapping if you have 16GB+ [21:12] still nothing wrong would happend [21:12] meatie: I agree [21:13] mat1tc_: Let the healing begin, Great little OS we have here . [21:13] EUFIz: uh, yea I wouldnt have been able to store all that data.... [21:13] EUFIz: that seems like bad stuff happening [21:13] Unless, if you needed it because you run a lot of apps... in that case, you should add more RAM, not swap [21:13] SSD'S HAVE CHANGED MUH LIFE [21:13] Bashing-om: ok, so it's telling me to use e2fsck, what options should I go with? [21:13] Bashing-om: And thanks for the help, was a little lost after searching online [21:13] I have a 15 TB RAID, and a 1 TB OS drive and sometimes that's not enough [21:13] SWAP is a band-aid [21:14] Hi. Update Center says that I cannot update from untrusted source. What to do? [21:14] mjbrancato:thats your nich need [21:14] is not ubuntu [21:14] well is elementary [21:14] mat1tc_: Is ubuntu installed to the 1st hard drive and the 1st partition ? something like ' e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda1 ' . [21:15] EUFIz: unused space is wasted space. But I suppose it's your money to waste, but please don't spread that filth [21:15] for the record it also didnt work right on ubuntu [21:15] Bashing-om: on the only hard drive, but not the first partition (it had windows pre-installed) [21:15] tgm4883: i recon your porn colection isnt filthy [21:16] EUFIz: ?? [21:16] mat1tc_: Maybe best we do this from the liveDVD(USB) . [21:16] i like having lots of free space on my drive [21:16] it tends to run better [21:16] but i guess you all know better [21:17] EUFIz: not really, I have a lot of stuff. Programming apps, sites, movies, games, pictures, software, etc [21:17] Bashing-om: ok, back in five (need to hunt down my liveusb...) [21:17] or in case i need to store an huge amount [21:17] EUFIz: I think in this case, I feel comfortable enough saying yes, I do know better [21:17] you dont [21:17] you just have a inferiority complex [21:18] mat1tc_: I do feel better from a known foundation to look at the install hard drive and fix from the liveUSB . [21:18] EUFIz: well being that your argument is that "it won't hurt anything" and my argument is that "it's a waste of space and is unnecessary" I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree [21:18] on247 you're on elementary OS? yhat's not supported here, type /j #elementary [21:18] tgm4883: im thru with you [21:18] EUFIz: I'm just asking that you keep that opinion to yourself [21:18] like wise [21:19] * tgm4883 sighs [21:19] but i suspect that my issue isnt os dependent [21:20] sush wonderful community! [21:20] on247 i think it is [21:21] on247 i'm sure the people in #elementary are familiar with your DE [21:21] but it isnt the DE [21:21] on247 elementary is not supported here [21:22] Is there any known bug for encrypting drives not creating swap upon install ubuntu 14.04 LTS? I just noticed I have no swap after running Oracle VM. [21:22] its a ubuntu derivative [21:22] on247 stop [21:22] couldnt you at least try please? [21:23] on247: why did you say you was using elementary? [21:23] yeah , i should have said ubuntu [21:24] Eurynomos, it is no bug, i guess. The problem is that the swap partition is also encrypted, but with a random key, so on restarting there is no way to resume. [21:24] on247 now you know where to go, type /j #elementary === tlyu_ is now known as tlyu [21:24] like theres anyone in there [21:24] on247: with all due respect, people who are asking for help in this particular channel are ususally the least qualified to determine whether a particular issue is related to the distro or not [21:24] OerHeks: Thanks. [21:25] nobody answers there [21:25] Bashing-om: ok, got it, and running [21:25] Hey folks! Trying to find out an answer to an issue with Xubuntu regarding wifi causing intterupt in audio can anyone help? [21:25] on247: try ubuntu foruns [21:25] on247 type /topic to find out what's supported here [21:25] Elementary has its own issues. [21:26] you never come here for help your best luck is cheking the foruns or using google [21:26] the thing is will just reinstall base ubuntu to show everyone that still doesent work and get help ? [21:26] mat1tc_: Great, ok, let's identify the ubuntu partition . ' sudo parted -l ' Which partition is marked 'exr4, and perhaps one other as 'boot' ? [21:27] on247: you can dual boot [21:27] I'm not even sure what on247's question originally wa [21:27] Bashing-om: partition 7 as "Filesystem" Ext4 [21:27] dont tell that you need the space for your porn colection :) [21:27] EUFIz: oh FFS give it a rest [21:28] yep[16:24] i having a problem with the screenshots capturing only my desktop [16:24] when i select a area of the window [16:25] like if the window wasnt there [21:28] mat1tc_: And it is also marked 'boot' under the flags heading ? [21:28] on247: and you don't think that is a WM issue? [21:28] Maybe , maybe not [21:29] EUFIz, please keep this channel family friendly, thanks. [21:29] How i could start testing if it is ? [21:29] I would like my dongle wifi usb working, but it was a problem. I did something pi_ tell me: http://askubuntu.com/questions/236617/how-to-install-driver-for-rtl8188cus-wireless-adaptor but it did a error: E: Unable to locate package linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-precise-generic [21:29] on247: easy to fix just screen shot the desktop and use imaged editing soft to crop it [21:29] someone can help me? [21:29] Bashing-om: Yep. It's the only ext4 partition on there. [21:29] on247: well the best you are going to get would be for someone to try here and see if they could reproduce it (or for you to reproduce it on ubuntu) [21:30] You dont understand [21:30] I have a window open [21:30] i select a area of that window === ayy_lmao is now known as Guest97544 [21:30] on247: that is a reoccurring theme with him [21:30] i get instead that area but on the desktop! [21:31] Hey how can I start using git ? I've Please tell me who you are. I tried to give it my github account details with commands they given but that didn't worked [21:31] yeah , i will try to reporoduce on ubuntu [21:31] Bashing-om: Oh wait, sorry, no, it doesn't appear to have the boot flag [21:31] like my email and username === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [21:32] with --global user.email [21:32] on247: heck, I would think you could even test that from a live disk [21:32] and with user.name [21:32] on247: im sure tgm4883 fully understand what you are saying but its just not ubuntu so he cant help you even fully understaing the issue [21:32] Bashing-om the only boot flag is with the EFI System partition [21:32] EUFIz: what's your problem? [21:33] i need to flash EUFI bios from ubuntu [21:33] What's a good beginner [21:33] 's guide to Ubuntu? [21:34] !manual [21:34] The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [21:34] Guest16301: try ubuntu for dummies [21:34] I have a problem with dongle wifi usb. I am trying to do working, I follow this to correct: http://askubuntu.com/questions/236617/how-to-install-driver-for-rtl8188cus-wireless-adaptor but it doesn't work. [21:34] mat1tc_ OK, so long as we know what we are looking at . from the liveUSB do ' sudo swapoff -a ; sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda7 ' . See if any uncorrectable errors are reported . Then we go a step further . [21:35] edupt, i was waiting for you, the answer you got didn't work, try to build the driver yourself, see http://askubuntu.com/a/551648 [21:35] http://www.amazon.com/Ubuntu-Linux-Dummies-Paul-Sery/dp/0470125055 === max_ is now known as Guest82683 [21:35] Anyone knows how to setup FGLRX/Firefox to work smoothly with WebGL? Google Maps is absurdly slow without WebGL [21:36] OerHeks: thanks very much. [21:36] Is there an issue with the RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter in Ubuntu? [21:37] hey anyone knows how to setup pam-face-authentication in ubuntu 15.10 [21:37] Bashing-om: Inodes that were part of a corrupted orphan linked list found. /dev/sda7 UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY [21:37] Guest82683, 15.10 is under development, join #ubuntu+1 for support until release [21:38] Apteryx: A thought, does WebGL use Flash ? Firefox has Flash blocked presently due to vulnerabilities. [21:39] OerHeks: in the first step it says: Package linux-headers-generic is not available, but is referred to by another package. [21:39] is it true that we should expect a decrease in development of ubuntu desktop now that devs are hard at work in ubuntu toutch? [21:39] mat1tc_: Yuk .. OK .. run sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda7 . You are certain that sda7 is the partition that ubuntu is installed in ? YES ??? [21:39] and the error is: E: Package 'linux-headers-generic' has no installation candidate [21:40] EUFIz they are two different teams, i'm sure [21:40] or maybe a phone DE paradigm being passed on to desktop users [21:40] edupt, what ubuntu version ? [21:40] Bashing-om: Yep, the others are swap or NTFS [21:40] mat1tc_: Run it and lets see the fix ( fingers crossed ) . [21:42] OerHeks: ubuntu 12.04 LTS [21:42] mat1tc_: Nother thought; the release on the liveDVD is the same as that of the install ? [21:42] EUFIz: the codebase from the phone will become the codebase form the desktop too. [21:42] Bashing-om: I don't think so [21:42] everyome [21:42] come to ##socialdawgs because I (Gitgud) want to get more people [21:42] free women included I am from Toronto Canada adoptz [21:42] EUFIz: so stuff that is worked on right now for the phone is work already done for the future desktop [21:42] Bashing-om: That I'm not sure of [21:42] owhoo [21:43] edupt, you might want to install the newest LTS 14.04, so that guide works. [21:43] SirPepper: no ads please. [21:43] k1l:just like windows 8.1! [21:43] EUFIz: no [21:43] thank the gods for xubuntu [21:43] OerHeks: it is possible to update this version without uninstall these? I am using in a zedboard. [21:43] ubuntu is a wrong linux system [21:43] mat1tc_: May not make a difference, but not real sure if it will not ! what returns for the liveUSB ' lsb_relase -a ' ? [21:44] EUFIz: as an example. the new unity 8 will be based on the same base like the phone: mir. the actual unity 7 is based on gnome and x11. [21:44] Bashing-om: different version! Live USB is older (14.04 vs 15.04) [21:44] i dont like gnome much [21:45] hi, I need to install a custom service into our server do I use upstart or write sysV scripts for that. it is bacula custom build [21:45] always been KDE fan [21:45] this is hardly on topic [21:45] or if GTK xfce [21:45] so for server soft do I Upstart or SysV? [21:45] Upstart seems enduser-ish [21:46] Bashing-om: well some errors fixed... trying to boot from the hd now... [21:46] pavelz: Why not adopt whatever is used in the archive package, with whatever changes you need? [21:46] mat1tc_: UH oh, We may be treading in deep waters here as 14.04 is upstart and 15.04 is systemd . I do not know how compatible the file systems are, to be sure . [21:46] Bashing-om: well just logged in, so let's see! [21:46] pavelz: right now <15.04 upstart and sysvinit will work. but from 15.04 on its systemd as init. [21:46] edupt, sure, open softwarecenter > edit > sources, and set upgrade to lts https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:47] Bashing-om: as soon as my overcrowded desktop shows up I'll give a sigh of relief... [21:47] tried to install bugtraq program on ubuntu won't work [21:47] OerHeks: thanks very much [21:47] Anyone familiar with what would cause an iptables config to work on a virtual server, but fail on bare metal (physical server)? Both fresh os loads of ubuntu 12.04 minimal. For reference - https://gist.github.com/MattDunbar/a5d66cd8c5b0a00f7f18 I checked with softlayer and they say there shouldn't be any differences with the base images that would affect iptables. [21:47] TJ-: compiled from sorce, package is too old [21:48] they both have eth0 private and eth1 public the same [21:48] pavelz: I meant the init script only; that should remain unchanged [21:48] is it possible to install ubuntu without Grub? because if i need to change drive from my desktop to my laptop it whont recognize the drive partition structure and will fail to boot [21:48] Bashing-om: ok it boots normally, so a definate improvement! Let me see if I can update etc [21:48] EUFIz: you will need a bootloader. [21:48] the sys something boot loader [21:48] mat1tc_: A sigh of relieve . [21:48] EUFIz: but you can reinstall or repair the grub after you changed something, with a live system [21:49] i could do with out that extra work on my agenda [21:49] can i use sys something thats used to boot cdrom and usb drives? [21:49] EUFIz: As long as GRUB is in its default config it'll use file-system UUIDs and won't be affected by moving the drive [21:49] EUFIz: well, if you know the new boot order than you can change the grub settings prior to that [21:50] i want to use the same SSD in my desktop and laptop [21:50] I'm trying to play games in steam, but i keep getting this same error message. http://ibin.co/28e5Paywp7aj I can only find S2TC packages in the Synaptic Package Manager. Any ideas? [21:50] with out need to mess arounf with grub [21:50] EUFIz: then make sure its the same boot order on both systems [21:51] EUFIz: If the installation is for UEFI, then make a copy of "/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64,efi" to "/boot/efi/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI" and then it'll be able to boot using the UEFI simple media path [21:51] Unknown-User, This mint? [21:51] and using uuids should make it work. and make sure both systems are on the same uefi/secureboot settings [21:51] maybe all just use puppy linux [21:51] Bashing-om: Any idea why this happened? Is it a sign HD might be on the way out? [21:51] I've got /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 provided by libgl1-mesa-glx but programs are complaining that they can't find libGL.so.1, how do I tell them where to look? [21:52] but there hasnt been any new release in a hell of a lot of time [21:52] puppy linux did lots of thing right [21:52] Unknown-User: is this linuxmint? that might be due to their changes on packages and repos. so then ask them [21:52] !mint | Unknown-User looks like a derivative [21:52] Unknown-User looks like a derivative: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:52] bubbasaures: Yes sir, Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. I already tried the Mint Help IRC. They're busy answering other questions. [21:53] EUFIz: but this is #ubuntu so we focus on ubuntu support in here. [21:53] EUFIz: puppy linux is an infinitely poor choice, for any situation [21:53] it has no purpose at all [21:53] Unknown-User, We can't help is all a channel issue. [21:53] theres a puppy linux ubuntu based [21:54] it worked like a dream [21:54] on any computer [21:54] still the best linux i have used [21:54] ... [21:55] EUFIz: if it was Ubuntu, it was Ubuntu [21:55] and if it was Puppy, it was Puppy [21:55] Back to google... Thank you, anyways. I might just change my computer over to Ubuntu MATE, had less issues with it. Still trying to learn a few things. [21:55] mat1tc_: The system mounting read only is the system protecting it's self from any additional damage. If you want to check the hard drive's health ' sudo apt-get install smartmontools ; smartctl --all /dev/sda'. Not a bad thing to do sometimes . [21:55] Bashing-om: Thanks, will do this after the update finishes. [21:56] Unknown-User, I would install the ubuntu mate for support here, ubuntu in general just does not have as many drivers pre loaded like mint, it all comes from ubuntu however in general.. [21:56] mat1tc_: K and ' sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ' to install the newest kernel . [21:56] Unknown-User, So just a tiny bit more work is all. [21:57] marcusti: ^ nother thought, befor I install a new kernel I always check that I have space available in the /boot partition ' df -h ' will tell the tale . [21:57] bubbasaures: I understand, thank you very much for your help. [21:57] Unknown-User, No prob, best luck. ;) [21:58] mat1tc_: ^^ marcusti Sorry 'bout that ping . [21:58] Alright I narrowed it down why my mic doesn't work [21:58] Something in Ubuntu is disabling my mic (muting it) everytime I plug it in [21:59] is there a way to disable "detecting" any plug/unplugging whatsoever? why would anyone design a feature liekt his [22:00] I have a question that might be easier to answer. I have searched through different forums and have seen different ideas; between Ubuntu and Mint, which one would offer the best gaming experience and ease of use? For a person like myself still learning how to use Linux. [22:00] fullstack: it's probably set at whatever you had it set at last [22:00] Unknown-User: Mint is, fundamentally, Ubuntu [22:00] fullstack, You ever get to the alsamixer and sound to mess around? [22:00] petrvs I carefully tested it. Unplug it and plug it back it, it mutes it [22:00] and all GNU/Linux distros are also fundamentally the same [22:00] bubbasaures, yes but when I unplug it and plug it back in it re-mutes it [22:00] OerHeks: it is strange, but it doesn't show any update to do. : [22:00] bubbasaures, all the levels are re-adjusted [22:00] fullstack, Can you turn it on from either? [22:00] Unknown-User: so there is no useful comparison as far as "experience" [22:01] petrvs: I noticed there are minor differences. But do these differences not count for much? And the only real difference being what it looks like and the general UI? [22:01] Bashing-om: all appears to be working! [22:01] Unknown-User: pretty much only the _preconfigured_ UI, yes [22:02] Unknown-User: you can make GNOME look green and mint-y on Ubuntu or any other distro [22:02] bubbasaures, not reliably [22:02] petrvs: I see. I might switch to Ubuntu just because of how helpful the Ubuntu chat channels have been. === droid909_ is now known as droid909 [22:03] petrvs: And thank you [22:03] this is crazy. [22:03] this is horribly crazy design for no reason. a mic should be a simple thing [22:03] Unknown-User: well that's a real comparison (although [even though it's against the rules] you can get help with any Debian derivative in most any channel of any Debian derivative distro) [22:03] fullstack: yours is probably an edge case [22:03] fullstack, Ah, have you tried the guest account? [22:03] and not the primary design goal in action =) [22:04] petrvs, its a standard Intel chipset. NUC i5 [22:04] fullstack: might be a acpi issue with your hardware. [22:04] mat1tc_: Outstanding . === sysop is now known as Guest16337 [22:06] mat1tc_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools ; may guide you in that next step . [22:06] Only if I plug it in and unplug it a dozen time while testing it each time does it work [22:06] This just started happening when I ran a system update [22:07] Bashing-om: Great, thank you so much for your help! [22:07] fullstack: you can test if an older kernel doesnt have that bug. [22:07] Should I reinstall my box from older ubuntu and never upgrade? Is that really a solution [22:07] fullstack: A thought; is the problem still present booting an older kernel ? [22:07] this is what my kernel is 3.13.0-51-generic #84-Ubuntu [22:07] it looks old [22:07] mat1tc_: :) np. we are here to help . [22:08] fullstack: that is an old kernle. [22:08] kernel* [22:08] I can't remember if I disabled upgrading it or not. [22:08] fullstack: not much 'standard' about 'NUC' [22:08] fullstack: current version is 3.13.0-57 [22:08] still not the norm, at all [22:08] fullstack: try a older kernel in the grub. or you can see if the enablement-stack offers a newer kernel that works better [22:08] !enablementstack | fullstack [22:08] fullstack: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [22:09] fullstack, You might lay off the "sky is falling" pronouncements. [22:09] fullstack: ah yeah. that is even not the latest kernel for 14.04. so run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" first [22:09] k1l, I'll try that thanks [22:10] also I can't see grub because for some reason text mode doesn't work for me and this Seiki 4k monitor [22:11] i am using ubuntu 12.04 LTS and when I do: do-release-upgrade -p or without -p is allways say: "no new release found" [22:11] howdy fellas [22:11] what have I to do? [22:12] edupt: what gives you "cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades" in the last line? [22:13] Prompt=lts [22:13] k1l: it gives: "Prompt=lts" [22:14] edupt: ok, that is right [22:14] edupt: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file? === regedit_ is now known as regedit === max__ is now known as Guest19956 [22:20] how can i toggle booting into desktop environment or tty? [22:20] !text | regedit [22:20] regedit: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [22:21] awesome [22:21] you could do a custom grub script that adds a cli only entry with the text parameter added to your grub [22:21] k1l: # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution. deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ precise main restricted deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ precise main restricted ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the ## distribution. deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ precise-updates main restricted deb-src http://ports.ubuntu. [22:21] the line that starts "linux" or init wtvr [22:21] ? [22:21] k1l: ooh that sounds fun [22:21] i want that [22:21] edupt: what ubuntu is that? is that a arm port? [22:22] regedit: no, the part where it says plymouth and splash etc. there needs to be added "text" [22:22] yes. It is a ZedBoard [22:22] it is arm port and FPGA [22:22] k1l: and "quiet" ? [22:23] edupt: that should work the same if (!) that sort of port is supported on 14.04 also. i am not too familiar with that, maybe ask in #ubuntu-arm [22:24] k1l, does full-upgrade put the latest kernel in grub's config as default? [22:24] ok [22:24] thanks very much [22:24] regedit: quiet means that you dont see all the syslog messages while booting. [22:24] k1l: i was asking whether it's on that line with "quiet" [22:24] fullstack: yes. but make sure you have "linux-generic" installed to get the latest kernel [22:24] i dont see plymouth but i do see splash [22:24] regedit: yes, on that line [22:24] ok thanks [22:25] k1l, hmmm how do I make sure of that? [22:25] fullstack: "sudo apt update && sudo apt-get install linux-generic" [22:28] FYI: valid options for the kernel command line are: a) kernel module parameters b) initramfs init script parameters (see valid values with "grep '=\*)' /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init "), and c) the init system (for Upstart see "grep -nA4 'proc/cmdline' /etc/init/*" ) [22:29] Hey guys, which printers are the most compatible with .... say..... 14.04?

Do you think is possible? [22:58] http://opencpn.org/ocpn/adding_ppa [22:58] thats for ubuntu [22:58] there are other install pages [22:59] I will attempt a clean re install [22:59] see how it rolls [22:59] is ubuntu a real good linux distro to use [23:00] eb0t: there are worse choices [23:00] not sure which one to go for [23:00] what are the advantages of ubuntu [23:00] eb0t: maybe you should take 30 minutes to read up on some [23:00] eb0t: over what? [23:00] i dont know...as a distro in general [23:01] it's a GNU/Linux, ultimately they're all pretty great (compared to other OSes) [23:01] I would like to work with dongle wifi in ubuntu 12.04 LTS, is it possible? [23:01] the good things from what i have read about ubuntu is that its very windows like and great for non techys [23:01] edupt: possible, sure, but why such an old version [23:01] eb0t: mmmm, well I wouldn't say it's more like windows or more non-techy than other popular GNU/Linux distros [23:02] because I am using a zedboard, it is a FPGA and Arm, it is not a pc. [23:02] eb0t: but it is fairly user friendly, compared to other OSes [23:02] eb0t: you ask in #ubuntu so start with ubuntu? :) see http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ which desktop you would like [23:02] edupt: so what? [23:02] edupt, tru #ubuntu-arm [23:02] i was thinking about it as apparently you dont have to know anything linux to use it [23:02] try* [23:02] edupt: that depends heavily on the usb dongle you want to use. [23:02] eb0t: most distros offer that, but yes Ubuntu too [23:02] I see the drivers and the firmware are ok. [23:03] eb0t: give it a try, see how you like it [23:03] eb0t: give a few a try [23:03] and its great because most of ubuntu community are in same boat as i would be...knowing nothing about linux [23:03] eb0t: see how you like a few [23:03] but it is not working [23:03] eb0t: well that's true =) [23:03] eb0t, come on, you have been here before :-D [23:03] no [23:03] I don't see the wlan0 [23:04] ok ill try a few..thanks [23:04] !Ub∪nt∪ [23:05] it is odd he's asking about Ubuntu whilst using weechat, though =) [23:05] how can i make my ubuntu 14.04 crashproof? [23:05] what is odd about that [23:05] gagalicious: you'd have to define crashproof first [23:05] the system doesnt crash. i can run it 24/7 for 9 months and i'll be happy [23:05] eb0t: odd client for use on non-GNU/Linux is all =) [23:05] my desktop i mean [23:06] eb0t: stop trolling. you have been here since at least last november, when you had a lot of kicks and bans in here. so stop that trolling, thanks. [23:06] not server [23:06] gagalicious: try using Debian stable instead [23:06] Ubuntu has no stable branch [23:06] petrvs: that is wrong! [23:06] k1l: nope [23:06] gagalicious: does it crash? [23:06] i run weechat on cygwin [23:06] is wasting time trolling? =) [23:06] i've been running ubuntu for 4 days with crashing... not bad. i hope i can run it a month [23:06] k1l : 14.04 not crashing [23:07] actually 11.04 is not crashing as well... i'm just worried that's all [23:07] gagalicious: see the LTS branches from ubuntu. they dont get the latest software versions but they are meant for running wihtout crashes. === sysop is now known as sysop2 [23:07] worrie about not crashing, humor. [23:07] gagalicious: 11.04 is out of life. dont use that anymore. [23:07] i'm running ubuntu as a pxe boot diskless client. my only issue is... i dont know how to make my root as "read only" from nfs perspective... when i did ro on the nfs /etc/export, it boots to command line. i woul dlike to have the x gui... so i'm not sure how to get this part done [23:08] trying to mount an NTFS parition but i get the error "The NTFS partition is in an unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown" is there a way without windows to clean this up? [23:09] k1l: i am using the EDUP EP-N8508 dongle wifi [23:09] i opened too many workspaces... on my desktop. and a lot of windows. i have 24gb ram though and an i7 intel core... so it's fine... but if it crashes... my workspace will be ... i need to reopen them all again... that's bad. i cant find anything like macro scheduler that i can just record my mouse clicks and reopen all my desktops once again if it crashes [23:09] KungFuLemon: IIRC, with ntfsfix, probably [23:09] gagalicious, not sure but you could try to use an overlay with a ramdisk (maybe look at the cdrom boots, their root is writeable afaik) [23:09] KungFuLemon: you can force the mount with possible data loss. best way is to reboot to windows and make it not using the "fast reboot" feature, which causes this issue [23:09] KungFuLemon: and there might be an -f force option, too [23:09] yeah [23:09] KungFuLemon, I would only chkdsk it with windows. [23:09] chkdsk, so awful... [23:09] if you can read it, copy the data off and stop using NTFS =) [23:09] pened too many workspaces... on my desktop. and a lot of windows. i have 24gb ram though and an i7 intel core... so it's fine... but if it crashes... my workspace will be ... i need to reopen them all again... that's bad. i cant find anything like macro scheduler that i can just record my mouse clicks and reopen all my desktops once again if it crashes does anyone have a solution to this? [23:10] KungFuLemon, try mount it read-only... [23:10] KungFuLemon, I missed if tjis is a dual boot partition. [23:10] i can mount it fine is readonly [23:10] gagalicious: the problem is if the apps crash before the session is saved [23:10] gagalicious: you should really just try more stable software instead [23:10] gagalicious, read about xdotool [23:10] KungFuLemon: using what command? [23:10] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/vivid/man8/ntfsfix.8.html ntfsfix from the ntfs-3g package, bu ti agree with bubbasaures, use windows for that. [23:11] petrvs: using readonly mode i can mount it fine. mount -o ro /dev/sda3... [23:11] i think maybe this is just a hibernation flag that windows sets in new version right? [23:11] KungFuLemon: and if you use 'ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 ...' ? [23:11] KungFuLemon: it can be, yes [23:12] petrvs: will i risk data lose forcing this? i dont have windows anymore i just removed it and install linu [23:12] syntroPi: ok [23:12] KungFuLemon: you will have a greater than 0% risk, yes [23:12] https://askubuntu.com/questions/47700/fix-corrupt-ntfs-partition-without-windows [23:12] ;-) [23:13] but IMO you have that risk using NTFS at all, because it's a terrible FS that hardly works even with the OS it was designed for (which is not the one you're using) [23:13] * bubbasaures goes to rebuild their V8 with a crescent wrench [23:13] don't ntfs-3g uses Windows DLL anyway? [23:13] petrvs: lol [23:14] ThiagoCMC: that seems like a question someone who cared at all might be able to answer =) [23:14] :-P [23:14] there is an option in ntfs-3g called remove_hiberfile should i try it? [23:14] KungFuLemon: ntfsfix will probably cover it, but sure [23:14] ntfs-3g hasn't ever boned me [23:14] \leave [23:14] I've mounted with -f and used ntfsfix many times with no problems [23:15] thanks for the feedback i will try ntfs fix first, and then remove_hiberfile and see wht happens [23:15] you should mount ready-only, and copy our data out from it, to another ext4 device [23:15] petrvs: ok i will try -f first [23:15] will probably just work [23:15] if you care about your data. [23:15] yeah, that's good advice [23:15] don't use ntfs if you care about your data =) [23:15] =D [23:15] and backups, blah blah [23:16] if you're brave, use btrfs... lol [23:16] data without backup is not important by definition :p [23:16] true [23:16] I don't know [23:16] sometimes I enjoy being forced to start from scratch =) [23:16] but maybe that just means that no data is really important =) [23:17] I'm not researching cures for cancer over here, though, heh [23:17] I'm not Will Smith in a bunker [23:18] just sayin, if you fiddle with it and its gone, you cant restore it [23:18] ...if you dont have a backup [23:18] what if he has a perfect memory? [23:18] HUH, DID YO THINK OF THAT?! :p [23:19] petrvs: dont asume every user that comes in here has a perfect backup plan. better to give the user a warning if there is possible data loss [23:19] uhuh, we already went over that [23:20] I brought it up before anyone else, according to my log [23:20] :p [23:20] know your bias [23:20] ntfsfix solved the issue, sorry i thought i tried this before and it failed i guess i did something wrong [23:20] i can now mount read/wrtie [23:20] KungFuLemon: win [23:20] petrvs: thanks dude [23:21] no man, thanks you [23:22] hello, i am trying to convert my ubuntu 14.10 from physical to vm, using vmware convertor, and it's giving me GRUB error. I read a forum post that said this needs to be added: http://pastebin.ca/3061436 [23:22] can somebody tell me where do i add that code? [23:23] also, my grub is : grub-install (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-15 [23:23] paws, 14.10 will go eol shortly. [23:23] if pertinent [23:23] bubbasaures: i will update it once its converted to a vm [23:23] ;) [23:24] do you know where is that grub.install file? [23:25] bubbasaures, So you have it converted, but are minus the grub boot? [23:25] paws: where'd you get that pastebin from? [23:25] paws: what directionis are you following? [23:26] histo: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/340943?start=45&tstart=0 [23:26] the simplest route would probably be to install 14.10 inside vmware as normal, then simply rsync your old data over the new [23:27] (except for the kernel & fstab =) [23:27] why're you virtualizing? [23:28] petrvs: moving the server from physical to vm [23:28] what for [23:28] thats an old server [23:28] and need more ram, cpu .. [23:29] paws: It looks like their code gets put in whatever script you are using to do the conversion [23:29] okay, but why virtualize? [23:29] Which is theoretically faster and easier, running Windows in a VM on top of Ubuntu, or running Ubuntu in a VM on top of Windows? (Ubuntu 15.04 and Windows 8.1) [23:30] Nikesh: they're very similar operations, but since Unix is a less awful OS, I'm going to say an Ubuntu host will be faster & easier [23:30] I have to had Windows for some work software, so I bought a Windows laptop, but in general I prefer using Ubuntu [23:30] its an ESXi server [23:30] Nikesh: not sure why you'd want to do either, though [23:30] petrvs: Right, see above [23:30] Nikesh: ah, yeah I'd definitely try Wine first, than us a VM guest on a Unix host [23:30] s/than us/then use* [23:30] Nikesh: then install ubuntu and run windows in virtualbox for any of your 'work' software that doens't have open source alternatives [23:31] histo: It's Citrix GoToWebinar specifically [23:31] I can use it as a client in Chromium, but I can only be a presenter in Windows or Mac [23:31] histo: in the VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone application? [23:32] histo petrvs Can I install my official version of Windows that came with my laptop into a VM? [23:32] Nikesh: probably [23:32] I'll try [23:32] Nikesh: with some effort you can also boot a metal install as virtualized [23:33] just to save you the trouble of rebooting to the other OS [23:33] not that I would really suggest doing that =) [23:35] petrvs: Ah that's interesting. This would be easier if I could figure out dual-boot. I installed Ubuntu but it still boots straight into Windows and GRUB never comes up [23:36] Nikesh: that's probably a very simple misconfiguration only [23:37] petrvs: OK. Any tips? [23:37] you'd have to pastebin your /etc/fstab and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the output of lsblk -f [23:39] OK. Should I have installed GRUB to the Windows boot partition? [23:40] I'll pull up the configs though [23:40] hi, is there a versioning filesystem, something like ext3cow? === swoc is now known as hugu === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [23:48] hi [23:52] Nikesh, reloading grub is fairly easy\ [23:56] Hi everyone come to ##socialdawgs .
