[00:00] FuxY, Depends on use for OS and ram for swap [00:01] wileee: It's a dual boot config with Windows 7 64bit, ill be using it for web browsing/playing music/video and light gaming, won't use it for heavy stuff [00:01] FuxY, 10 gigs for any is okay, if you can resize as needed. The swap depends on the ram you have and if you want to hibernate. [00:02] wileee: How can i choose the right amount for swap? Yes, i would like to have that option [00:02] anyone have success with the att streaming feature with any browser? [00:02] FuxY, swap should be just slightly more than ram, so if you have 2 gigs I would make the swap 2.25 or so. [00:03] wileee: i have 4gb, so 4.5 is enough right? [00:03] hey [00:04] FuxY, I would say so under your depiction of use [00:04] wileee: thanks man, appreciate it [00:05] FuxY, No problem, 10 gigs is a bit small is all. [00:05] SamboNZ: you could go to /usr/src and manually delete files there, like from the old linux headers to get some inodes [00:05] it will install in that however FuxY [00:06] ok, I can do that without breaking stuff? [00:06] wileee: what about 15 gigs? Just being secure about future updates and stuff ahah [00:07] FuxY, I would do that, sounds more stable, keep an eye on it and use autoremove after updating at times, just a little cleaning. ;) [00:08] updating/upgrading [00:08] SamboNZ: and make a "sudo apt-get autoclean" [00:08] wileee: sure, that's more pleasing to hear ahah, will do. 15GB for / and 4.5GB for /swap [00:09] FuxY, Sounds good, this gonna have a separate home? [00:09] @kil: so delete old files first, then run the autoclean? [00:09] first autoclean [00:09] wileee: yes, windows will problably be the main OS because of work stuff, ill allocate about 50GB to /home [00:09] ok [00:10] maybe that will make enough inodes free [00:10] kil: nope, still 0 free [00:10] FuxY, Ah, you should be set, put home next to / and you can resize either if needed by resizing both. [00:11] wileee: that's also a great idea, haven't thought of it [00:11] SamboNZ: did it remove old packages? [00:11] FuxY, if the same partition type primary or logical [00:11] kil: sorry, mis-understood what you said. Can I remove any of the older kernel files? [00:12] wileee: sorry, didn't understand [00:12] SamboNZ: ok, to recap: we need to get at least some few inodes free so we can use the safe methods. so if you know "well i have 100files i dont need anyway" so please delete them. [00:13] SamboNZ: if you dont know right now files to delete, we need to start digging like the old header files. [00:13] kil: hmm, ok, this is just a proxy server so I don't use it directly or really know what's on there that can be deleted I'm sorry [00:14] FuxY, You have two basic types of partitions primary and logical, the logical go in an extended partition, You are likely to have to put ubuntu in an extended to install. [00:14] wileee: doesn't ubuntu only install in an extended partition? [00:15] i don't really know the right place to ask about this, but i'm using Ubuntu MATE on a MacBook, and i'm trying to get the iSight camera working in GIMP. it works in Cheese, but not anywhere else. any ideas? [00:15] FuxY, no it will install where you point it, if the HD does not balk. [00:16] derfderp: GIMP has an entire irc server for support. They can definitely help with that. It may be a plugin issue. [00:16] http://www.gimp.org/irc.html [00:16] ok [00:17] FuxY, What I've addressed here is the limitations of types of partitions in a standard msdos HD using a mbr. 4 primaries or 3 prim and an extended for many more logicals [00:17] they're really helpful. [00:18] SamboNZ: "find / -xdev -printf '%h\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -k 1 -n" gives you an idea where the inodes are used [00:19] kil: LOL: sort: cannot create temporary file in `/tmp': No space left on device [00:20] kil: Is there any kind of 'temp' location that I could clear out? (sorry, Windows is my main OS) :) [00:20] SamboNZ: ok, so it all ends up with you going on the hunt to delete thousands of files manually to get anything that helps working [00:21] kil: also, this is a dan's guardian proxy server so maybe there's some caching files I could remove? [00:21] kil: so I can't manually delete any of the older kernel files? [00:21] i dont know what proxies like to be deleted [00:21] SamboNZ: you can. [00:21] FuxY, Might have been more info than you needed, if you want help on the install, feel free to ask, did not mean to confuse you, if this has happened. ;) [00:22] but that files just might have 1 inode even if they have 300mb. [00:22] kil: and are there any potential issues with that? [00:22] Recently I formatted one of my windows HDD using ubuntu's disks program. The power went out during the process, and now I can't even see the HDD in the menu. Any suggestions? [00:22] no, we would remove the packages from old kernels and headers anyway. but the automatic commands dont run because there are no inodes [00:23] well, according to the "for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done" command, the /usr/src folder has ~300,000 files in it, like ~20,000 files per kernel version [00:23] wileee: No problem really, i prefer to these things, always good to learn something! :D [00:23] to know* [00:23] Qixzav, Does it show in gparted, or from the command line? [00:23] wileee Unfortunately no. [00:23] FuxY, Cool, best luck. [00:24] SamboNZ: then see what "uname -a" gives you as the kernel version. dont delete that version and leave the most recent there. [00:24] Qixzav, This sounds like an internal? [00:24] wileee: thank you, if everything works out, you'll be the first to know :D [00:24] Wileee Yes. [00:25] Wileee sata drive [00:25] kil: ok: Linux WebFilter 3.2.0-56-generic-pae #86-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 17:51:27 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [00:25] Qixzav, How were you formatting? you could have a broken table, but it should show. [00:25] kil: so I can safely delete anything other than that version? [00:25] SamboNZ: yes. [00:25] cool, will do that now [00:25] start with the old -29 and -37 ones [00:26] after that 2 see with df -i if its getting better [00:27] wileee There are multiple kinds of formatting? I wasn't aware. I just used the drop down menu and selected "format drive". [00:27] Qixzav, If your msdos pastebin sudo fdisk -l if uefi use sudo parted -l [00:28] kil: what's the best command to remove the folder? rm -r? [00:28] yes [00:29] wileee The only drive that came up is my usb live boot. [00:29] could need -f too [00:29] kil: I'm using "rm -r /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-29" but it's prompting me at every sub-folder [00:29] do a -rf then [00:30] Qixzav, Have you tried plugging and unplugging the HD? you restarted since you had a fail, might need a combination of both, that is about all I could suggest. === erwin is now known as easyOnMe [00:30] hello [00:31] I have two laptops in the office right now and I to access the other laptop from another laptop [00:31] but these two laptops use different OS the first one uses Ubuntu 14.01 while the other uses Windows 7 [00:31] kil: Right! 13,000 free inodes after deleting just the one kernel folder!! [00:32] Qixzav, You mention a sata drive, in general ubuntu should see it, however the bios has choices. [00:32] I tried accessing the ubuntu laptop through the browser by using the laptop's ipaddress [00:32] SamboNZ: ok, now "sudo apt-get install -f [00:32] but it says requested url /var/www/html was not found on this server [00:32] what could I have possibly missed why I can not access the files in the ubuntu laptop [00:33] Wileee I didn't think of that. If it can't be read in the bios, do you think it's a hardware problem? I mean, I can feel it working when I plug it in, it's just not showing up anywhere. [00:33] kil: hmm, still b*tching about free space: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11885392/ [00:34] SamboNZ: ok delete 2 more old headers folders [00:34] ok [00:34] Qixzav, I can't give a definitive answer on this, to many variables at the least. ;) [00:36] Qixzav, Try it in another computer is a standard answer here as well.

[00:55] I am doing it now but no success [00:55] that is why I do not know whether the ubuntu laptop I am accessing allows remote connection [00:55] easyOnMe: he probably used ssh to login to your ubuntu [00:56] from putty [00:56] how will I know that this ubuntu laptop allows remote connection [00:56] exactly [00:56] but how come it says url now found [00:56] is the ip and everything correct?

[01:00] TJ-: so what I can do to access the ubuntu laptop throuhg ssh [01:00] easyOnMe: Use 'ssh' [01:02] TJ-: yup but how come putty on windows still does not respond with a prompt [01:02] !ssh | easyOnMe [01:02] easyOnMe: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [01:03] TJ-: i did a command ifconfig [01:03] and I got this ipaddress under wlan0: inet addr: 222.164.190.109 bcas: 192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [01:04] so on the windows laptop I use the addr: 222.164.190.109 as host [01:04] but seems like putty is not responsing [01:04] responding [01:04] easyOnMe: if you're trying to access another machine on the same network, you want to use the local address. which is 192.168.0.255 [01:05] nicomachus: still not working it says network cannot assign ip address [01:06] nicomachus: I used it on putty on windows 7 [01:07] nicomachus: I already use the local address on the same network [01:07] easyOnMe: "wlan0: inet addr: 222.164.190.109 bcas: 192.168.0.255" ? broadcast is a different sub-net to the interface address?

[01:10] ok I did explain it earlier but the bot here keeps telling I should not repeat myself [01:11] easyOnMe: I only came into the channel recently [01:11] that one I am not sure but what I know is that they share the same internet connection [01:11] that is all [01:11] I am in the office right now [01:11] network admin is on sick leave [01:11] easyOnMe: If both laptops are on the same LAN let them obtain their IP addresses using DHCP, don't try to set it manually.

[01:12] I did ipconfig on the windows 7 laptop and ifconfig on the ubuntu laptop [01:13] TJ-: ipaddress on windows 7 is [01:13] 192.168.0.13 [01:13] easyOnMe: The GUI network connection options are all you need - configure the interface to use DHCP to automatically assign an IPv4 address. This assumes the LAN has a router that runs a DHCP server (most wireless gateway/routers do this) [01:14] TJ-: where to I find that GUI [01:14] is it on linux or on windows [01:14] easyOnMe: In Ubuntu, there's a network icon top-right which is clickable [01:15] TJ-: ok and then [01:15] TJ-: it says there enable networking is checked [01:15] pepee, yes [01:16] thanks wileee [01:16] easyOnMe: That has an option to Edit Connections .... which leads to a list of network connections which can be edited. Edit the appropriate connection (Wireless LAN I'd guess?) and on the IPv4 tab choose to obtain an IP address automatically [01:16] no prob [01:17] easyOnMe: Are you using regular Ubuntu with the Unity desktop environment, or a flavour like Xubuntu/Kubuntu/Lubuntu ? === tonyt is now known as tonyttt [01:19] Can someone using Unity/Network-Manager applet help easyOnMe when they return?

[01:34] FuxY, No, windows in this sort of scenario is best just resizing itself leaving unallocated. I also can't really read that app, even though I know windows and be completely accurate. THere are a lot of partitions in that picture, I can't tell there types or how many. A picture form gparted in ubuntu would be great. [01:35] FuxY, I have a feeling you have 4 primary partitions already, this can be an issue depending on the file system. [01:37] boot ubuntu and we can do some quick commands and get the info needed. FuxY [01:38] wileee: i need 4.5+15+50 which equals to 69.5GB of unallocated space right? how does ubuntu install in 3 different locations if it's all unallocated space? [01:38] what is channelname for steamluge or whatever [01:38] i can't boot into ubuntu now, i removed it just now [01:39] FuxY, If you have only 3 primary partitions in logicals in an extended. === davidw is now known as Guest4813 [01:40] Hey guys I am upgradeing 14.04 to 14.10 and I get this : The upgrade has aborted.

You could run them as apache, for one [11:26] thanks to the rest was well [11:26] crippa better ask in #ubuntu-server [11:26] you guys are all awesome [11:26] crippa: Or run them as root if you trust the scripts not to misbehave [11:26] because of you ubuntu rocks [11:26] run scripts as root?!? [11:26] thanks so much I got it up and running [11:26] worst advice, ever [11:27] bindi: Probably, yeah. It's a quick and dirty solution [11:27] crippa: i put my webroot in /home. Easier to work with [11:27] httpd.conf says the user will be apache:apache [11:27] Barbariandude: It's a quick and dirty solution for getting a compromized server. [11:28] bekks: Fair point [11:28] crippa: You should not change the permissions on /var/www/html, but create a temp dir to be used by php. [11:29] So I guess from the lack of response that nobody has really tried out the new AMDGPU driver. Fair enough, I guess I'll see if I can kludge together a working system later. [11:29] Ben64: I got another question [11:30] if winscp is for windows7 to connect to ubuntu what is its equivalent in ubuntu [11:30] easyOnMe: scp [11:30] easyOnMe: But you cannot use it to transfer files to windows, since there is no openssh server on windows. [11:31] Barbariandude: yup but scp has no gui right unlike winscp which is a very nice gui you can see the directory and get a visual of the file structure [11:31] So anyone know why i have to reset the BIOS everytime i want to use the Internal Wireless Adapter ? [11:31] easyOnMe: scp is command line program. [11:31] bekks: yup I know I used it before [11:31] easyOnMe: Then why do you ask? :) [11:31] I was asking an scp with gui similar to that of winscp [11:31] is there anything like that equivalent in ubuntu [11:31] Filezilla perhaps? [11:32] easyOnMe: I never needed a GUI around SCP. [11:32] easyOnMe: I might be mistaken, but I think the only way of doing that would be to set up an FTP server on the Windows side and use an FTP client (like Filezilla) [11:32] but you dont need that do you, easyOnMe [11:32] Barbariandude: yeah that seems possible and logical too [11:32] bindi: why [11:33] easyOnMe: you can do both ways with current setup [11:33] Barbariandude: You dont need an FTP Server, since you can use WinSCP to copy files FROM a ssh server, too. [11:33] easyOnMe: Thats seems illogical and pointless. See above. [11:33] bindi: oh yeah [11:33] right [11:33] bekks: yup [11:33] bekks: He's talking about connecting from Ubuntu to Windows though, and you can't do it that way around without installing something to listen for SSH connections [11:33] And FTP would be easier to set up in that case [11:33] I agree you can download files from linux to windows and you can copy files from windows to linux [11:33] makes sense [11:33] Barbariandude: FTP is much more insecure. [11:33] Or can there only be one set of Wireless Adapter drivers installed for one OS on a dual boot machine ? [11:34] bekks: he's working in his own network though [11:34] Barbariandude: yup in case I need linux to connect to windows so what is the ftp server to install on windows 7 then [11:34] and i still dont see why you guys recommended scp for file sharing :P it's slow [11:34] if openssh server is to ubuntu what is for windows [11:34] why not just use samba [11:35] bindi: It's what he asked for. We suggested samba/cifs, but he refused. [11:35] Ben64: I do not like installing samba [11:35] okay then [11:35] lol [11:35] weird [11:35] easyOnMe: There's a million of them, just google around [11:35] easyOnMe: RPC and MSI is the equivalent on Windows. [11:35] i want to share files but i don't want to do it in the best way [11:35] Ben64: I tried it before and it caused my ubuntu to slow down [11:35] why are you talking about web servers and not helping people with pc/OS problems ? [11:35] easyOnMe: it doesn't [11:36] bekks: ok thanks [11:36] ManicPanic: i dont know how to answer your wireless adapter problem [11:36] Ben64: can samba do remote connection as well just like how ssh does [11:36] i don't use unreliable technology.. [11:36] easyOnMe: No. [11:36] bindi: i cant find an answer on google for it [11:36] ManicPanic as soon as someone can help, they will. repeat your question every 10-15 minutes [11:37] ManicPanic: can also try posting on askubuntu.com [11:37] bekks: so ssh is the better deal then right I mean the better set up [11:37] if you want to share files both ways samba is the way to go [11:37] bekks: so which one is better to install on windows RPC or MSI [11:37] easyOnMe: ssh does totally different things compared to samba. [11:37] ok [11:38] I'm trying to use a guide (for Ubuntu 14.04) to install something, and it says to use " su -c 'pip install git+git://github.com/package/name' " but that gives me the error "su: Authentication failure"... I can do sudo and sudo su just fine, but not su [11:38] easyOnMe: You really need to read up what RPC and MSI is, on Windows. It is totally out of scope in here. [11:38] bekks: yeah because samba is really for network resource sharing [11:38] Platypus-Man: don't do 'sudo su' its bad [11:38] bekks: just asking if you know which one is better and whether you have use either one before [11:38] its fine if Windows dont see the Wireless card. I will use Ubuntu for wifi. [11:39] Platypus-Man great, don't use su, use sudo [11:39] easyOnMe: You really need to read up what RPC and MSI is, on Windows. It is totally out of scope in here. [11:39] So, it's been about 10ish minutes, I guess I'll repeat my question: Has anybody figured out how to get the AMDGPU driver from kernel 4.2 working yet? If so, how? [11:39] Barbariandude: sorry I do now know I can't help [11:39] ok, so just swapping the su part with sudo, and otherwise following the guide should work? [11:40] Platypus-Man: without the '-c' i'd imagine too [11:41] have anyone seen any virtualkeyboard for linux which has split-key layout? If so, I would be extremly happy if you shared the info with me. its a showstopper to get rid of windows on my 12 inch tablet :( [11:43] ok, I have this one very peculiar thing happening. Somebody must explain dis 2 me. === easyOnMe is now known as phpstorm [11:44] Kleggas onboard is not sophisticated enough? === phpstorm is now known as easyOnMe [11:46] Do yu all believe in de lamb>?

[11:53] cannot pastbin from a picture ikonia [11:55] CTRL-ALT-L, or EngineIcon->LockScreen do nothing for me. I did add a /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command symlink, and manually invoking "/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -lock" does what I need -- how to debug what does ALT-CTRL-L or the menu item do ? [11:55] if you can type it in here, then you can type it into pastebin kevin070982 [11:56] ok got it [11:57] I seem to have trouble locating vi on the netinstall boot. why would it not be on PATH? [11:57] Because it may not be installed. [11:57] is it installed ? [11:57] what? how am I supposed to edit files then? [11:57] i've built my own version of a package (libedit2). When I try to aptitude install php5-read, it wants to install 'libedit". Is there any way I can tell aptitude to use the already installed, compiled version? [11:57] php5-readline [11:57] phaza_: no [11:58] phaza_: packages depend on packages [11:58] mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: no such file or directory Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.

[11:58] so you'd need to package the dependencies [11:58] kevin070982: can't see the disks, so your raid array is probably in a state [11:58] kevin070982: and as I said - please use a pastebin in future [11:58] okay, there seems to be nano. how do I save the file in nano? [11:58] ikonia: How about if I installed libedit from a new release, would that mean the dependency was matched ? (give it's >= xyz) [11:58] newer* [11:59] phaza_: no, don't mix repos [11:59] sorry what is pastebin?

[12:02] marianne: can i ask yu a q [12:05] any Idea? [12:05] james1103: sure [12:06] marianne: I may very well be mistaken, but I thought Adobe dropped support for Flash on Linux [12:06] I don't think any patches are coming for it [12:06] my flash not working either. But dont need it anyway [12:06] Barbariandude: I was hoping ubuntu patched it [12:07] Ermmm, isn't flash a binary blob? [12:07] Didn't think you could make a patch without extensive reverse engineering or source [12:07] marianne 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." [12:08] MonkeyDust: sweet... I had read that already but you know me, always want to double check [12:09] Barbariandude: I wouldn't use it but some of my streaming sites don't work without it [12:09] marianne: You're talking about twitch? [12:10] marianne: There's a desktop app for it on Ubuntu [12:10] Hiyas all [12:10] The sytem is software Raid [12:10] Barbariandude: nah... not twitch, mostly HBO and such [12:10] And now I a in a shell per Live CD [12:11] so what can I do know to fix the raid status? [12:11] marianne: Just double-checked, HBO GO supports Flash 10+ so you should be fine [12:12] marianne: download google-chrome (not chromium in ubuntu repos, but real chrome from googles download page). They package it with a flash lib of their own, worked for all sites I been on using flash, which are still many [12:13] marianne: I'm not 100% sure about this, but if you really need a later version of Flash, the pepper flash thing in Chrome has it [12:13] marianne: What Kleggas said [12:13] Hi all. During the last update I got some strange messages, like: you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] [12:13] What it is supposed I should do? [12:13] marianne: install it then by typing "sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-x.x.x.x.deb" which will surely say there is an missing lib, so then run "sudo apt-get install -f" to get that lib [12:14] OnkelTem: The messages suggested what you should do. What were the messages, exactly? [12:14] OnkelTem: I had that message to, you can safely ignore it. The grub boot loader gets reconfigured by itself straight after. [12:14] *too [12:15] can i have a link 2 a religious chatting site [12:15] bekks: https://gist.github.com/OnkelTem/6ff117e10494e285bdf4 [12:15] Kleggas: I tried that and for some reason, I've never been able to get HBO to work in chrome [12:16] Barbariandude: anyways, how to update grub? WHen I type just "grub" it says I have no such a package installed! How could be that? :) [12:16] OnkelTem try sudo apdate-grub [12:16] OnkelTem try sudo update-grub [12:16] MonkeyDust: ok [12:16] OnkelTem: The command is grub2-mkconfig [12:16] Barbariandude: No, its not ;) [12:17] bekks: To reconfigure grub? Re-read his original question [12:17] Barbariandude: Please reread his paste. Running update-grub is sufficient. [12:17] just forgot that command - update-grub. Tried grub-update etc :) [12:18] OnkelTem solved now? [12:18] Assuming I use akll caps here what will happen> [12:19] marianne: strange, then I can't help. Never used hbo site. [12:19] MonkeyDust: well, it found something (-41 and -43) and successfuly updated boot records I guess. But those packages which are not required anymore - they are still there, not removed [12:19] *shrugs* re-read it, and grub2-mkconfig is run there during the update process in the link [12:19] And it complains about the vmlinuz link [12:20] See the paste, the picture didn't change [12:21] I tend to just ignore those packages [12:21] Kleggas: yeah. use it mostly for Game of Thrones... HBO works awesome in firefox as do a bunch of other sites [12:21] IM JUST TESTING [12:22] OnkelTem: Oh, just realized my derp. I've always done grub2-mkconfig with the output set directly, didn't know update-grub has the output already set [12:22] That's pretty handy [12:22] Essentially updategrub is an alias for "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [12:23] *update-grub [12:29] heh [12:30] What's default file manager in ubuntu 14.04 ?

If so, did you need to install the AMDGPU branch of Mesa git, or was the stock one ok? Were there any other difficulties encountered? [13:27] Barbariandude: can you start from the beginning? what error do you have on wich card and what driver? === cliff is now known as Guest61163 [13:28] lotuspsychje: I'm currently on fglrx for my R9 285. The R9 285 is their latest architecture, for which they're making a clean break from Radeon and making an entirely new driver infrastructure (called AMDGPU). I would like to test it, problem is it's only included in kernel version 4.2, released 6 days ago [13:29] lotuspsychje: I'm wondering if the driver works with the rest of the packages included by default in Ubuntu, or if I'm going to need more extensive substitutions than just the kernel [13:29] Barbariandude: wich ubuntu version? [13:30] 15.04 [13:30] Barbariandude: i saw an article about amd on softpedia, maybe that can help? [13:31] Barbariandude: http://news.softpedia.com/news/amd-catalyst-15-7-stable-linux-driver-releases-after-a-long-absence-486447.shtml [13:31] Barbariandude, MonkeyDust That package was hardinfo I was confusing it with hwinfo By typing correct name, i have found it. Thanks for u guys for helping me [13:32] lotuspsychje: Catalyst is the binary blob, AMDGPU is the new open source driver [13:32] They're different things [13:33] gnomed: Glad you sorted it out [13:34] !find xf86-video-amdgpu [13:34] Package/file xf86-video-amdgpu does not exist in vivid === hacker is now known as Guest75206 [13:36] hi [13:38] Barbariandude: maybe the #ubuntu-devel guys might know more of it? [13:39] lotuspsychje: That's a pretty good idea. I'll ask [13:40] #fisi [13:42] Hello, I an having an issue using the keyboard shortcut command to paste something to keyboard. I have the following command which works correctly in a normal terminal: [13:42] sh -c "printf 'A293k68$,\`' | xclip -selection clipboard" [13:43] Can anyone let mw know why it fails in the "keyboarrd shortcuts" command place? I have a feeling it is because of that backquote escape. [13:45] Pinkamena_D: You open with a " and close with a ' [13:45] They don't match [13:45] Hi my sound icon disappeared [13:45] How to get sound back? [13:45] Oh, you do close the " at the end. Right, you also need to escape the single quote (') [13:45] Barbariandude, There are two sets of quotes [13:46] Why are you even talking about quotes? [13:46] The single quotes are for the printf string, is this syntax incorrect? (I dont want the single quotes in the output) [13:46] Pinkamena_D: Nevermind, the derp is real. I'm being retarded. [13:46] I'll shut up now. [13:46] Help me get my sound icon back [13:46] After restart it is no more [13:46] Ellon, do you have things listed in system settings > sound devices? [13:47] Pinkamena_D im using Lubuntu [13:47] Oh [13:48] Pinkamena_D: Actually, I can think of one reason it might work in one environment but not in another: different PATH environment variable. Have you tried giving the absolute location for xclip? [13:51] Right, I think I'm done trying to help and making an idiot of myself for one day [13:51] Ahh, nvm, It is this glitch in ubuntu I forgot about. It seems like if you previously deleted a keyboard shortcut which was bound to something and creatge another, and use the same key combo again, it will not work. [13:51] #^* [13:52] Glad you found it Pinkamena_D [13:52] o/ [13:52] lol [13:56] has anyone out there every tired to network ubuntu 14.04 with FreeBSD 10? [13:56] hello i am packing a Qt webkit based application am confused what should i put as dependencies my app executable ldd output is here in pastebin http://pastebin.com/mfgdrEtz [13:56] marianne: maybe a question for the ##networking channel? [13:57] lotuspsychje: thanks! [13:58] are icm color profiles loaded with xcalib supposed to affect the color output of my monitor in general [13:59] because... they don't seem to [13:59] marianne yes === cartucho is now known as Guest22709 [14:09] Hi. Is suspend mode supported in ubuntu 14.04 or it is in beta/alpha/development mode and never should be used? [14:10] Helloo [14:10] yeah tiblock [14:11] Does Ubiquity installer support LVM? [14:11] Wanting to have a root and swap partition inside a LVM container [14:11] commander_, you mean it is supported and death of half of my system after suspend is just accident, or it is sould be never used? [14:12] !lvm | logcat7 [14:12] logcat7: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [14:12] Thanks [14:14] oh no, suspend broke mine network forever, even after reboot network is down [14:14] umm, what's the name of the KDE package? [14:14] is there a good ubuntu sysadmin channel? [14:14] i have a systemd question [14:15] Luke, #ubuntu-server ? [14:15] tiblock: ty [14:16] rtreleaven: Did you need to set up samba or apache to do it? [14:16] anyone know the name of the KDE, gnome or whatsthatnewDE package? [14:18] aib, plasma 5 ? [14:19] BluesKaj: I need the package name. as in apt-get install {package name} [14:23] Hi! Does anyone know if there are any special requirements for a .deb package to be registered as installed in the Software Center after being installed through it? [14:24] aib, with 99.99% chance you will kill your ubuntu. You will install over 9000 dependencies and they will kill everything. Ubuntu is made for stable old packages, not brand new things [14:24] I made a very simple deb package but it only showed as installed in the Synaptic Package Manager, not in USC. [14:24] ccc [14:24] tiblock: thanks for the warning; I have 33 packages installed at the moment. I *need* all those dependencies. [14:25] ss [14:25] aib, which ubuntu are you running? [14:25] 15.04 [14:25] aib, then you need google how to install on ubuntu what you searching for. And then reinstalling ubuntu, after you killed it. [14:25] terminal commands for mplayer? [14:26] and extras? [14:26] xxx [14:27] cc [14:27] anyone know the name of the actual or virtual package (.deb) for either one of Gnome, KDE or Unity? [14:27] for 15.04 [14:27] aib, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [14:27] romania?? [14:28] ah, kubuntu-desktop. thanks. [14:29] aib, yes plasma 5.2 is the default for kubuntu-desktop [14:29] yep, and it's called plasma-desktop. Thanks. that was a really hard aptitude search [14:30] now if I can get this wifi issue fixed, I'll have a brand new OS === JC_SoCal_ is now known as JC_SoCal === c0b is now known as cob [14:44] I need help. I use ubuntu 14.04 x64, put it in suspend, boothed after 8 hours, network is down. Rebooted, still down. Is there manual for this? Like "how to fix forever broken network after suspend" [14:44] tiblock: did you reboot the router and is the IP of the 'buntu box still the same? [14:46] marianne, did not touched router. Not sure about what box are you talking. But true IRC it will be massive wall of flood trying to solve this. Maybe there is manual made for this bug [14:47] marianne networking is a pretty vague description. what would you like to achieve? [14:48] hey guys can someone expalin how i can get access to file permissions ? i think i need to edit a file as root but i dont know how ! [14:49] rtreleaven: I would like to be able to do backups to the FreeBSD computer. Mostly move files back and forth between them [14:49] rtreleaven, I want to be able to send packets and receive them over network. Currently ping says that network is unreachable and "wired connection" on top right menu is gray, i can't click on it [14:49] tiblock, sudo service network-manager status ? [14:50] sudo chmod +w file [14:50] !permissions | anomonus2015 , you can try something like sudo pico /path/to/file or gksudo gedit /path/to/file , whatever you prefer. Be careful running around as root though. [14:50] anomonus2015 , you can try something like sudo pico /path/to/file or gksudo gedit /path/to/file , whatever you prefer. Be careful running around as root though.: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [14:50] marianne both boxes will likely have ssh and scp already. [14:50] Everytime I login to my Ubuntu Server 14.04.02 LTS, it always will show "7 packages can be updated" "7 updates are security updates", regardless if I do an apt-get update && upgrade [14:50] have a look at the man page for those [14:51] kian: what about dist-upgrade ? [14:51] ioria, it is running, "nmcli d" says eth0 is unavailable, "ifconfig eth0" says it is UP [14:51] SchrodingersScat: is that the command? [14:51] rtreleaven: just need to enable on both? I tried ssh, but got an error. Is there any documentation you can point me to? [14:51] tiblock, ifconfig ? [14:51] anomonus2015: sudo chmod +w file [14:51] It's a cloud server from DigitalOcean [14:51] i want to deit /etc/default/grub [14:51] use the man command [14:51] like this [14:51] man ssh [14:52] kian: the command is 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' it's one of apt-get's options. just wondering if that could have the 7 [14:52] tiblock, can you ping your ip ? [14:52] thx guys. i will read the link [14:52] rtreleaven: thanks... for some reason that never occurred to me... duh... feeling really stupid now [14:52] marianne glad you are back on track [14:53] SchrodingersScat: https://i.imgur.com/jxSdGx5.png [14:53] Safe to do on on a VPS from DigitalOcean? [14:53] I can change kernal from my control panel [14:53] rtreleaven: it will be my weekend project... [14:53] :) [14:54] i installed ubuntu 12.04 amd 64 desktop. and i did a "dist-upgrade" but when i do this command. 'lsb_release -a' it shows im on 12.04. when i did the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade i thought it would at least make me on 12.10 [14:54] when i open software center it tells me i can upgrade to 14.04 [14:54] ioria, i was not able to ping. I removed conenction from network manager, then there appeared 2 of them, i removed them, rebooted, created new, rebooted and now i have network working. Thank you. [14:54] i dont want to do that [14:54] en1gma: 12.10 is EOL [14:54] en1gma: so it can't go there [14:54] kian: guess that's up to you, in my experience if the vps doesn't have some scheme for pinning a kernel then it's normally safe. Should always backup now and forever anyway. Also make sure to tidy up old kernels, I think apt-get autoremove helps there. [14:54] tiblock, that's ok [14:54] so what does sudo apt-get dist-upgrade actually upgrade me to ? just latest 12.04 stuff? [14:55] en1gma: nothing [14:55] you're still on 12.04 [14:55] !dist-upgrade [14:55] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [14:55] oh ok. [14:55] thanks [14:55] been using linux for long time and never knew that [14:56] !upgrade [14:56] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade === Gill_ is now known as Gill [15:01] phy0: Wireless LAN Hard blocked: yes [15:01] how can I hard unblock wifi? [15:03] AlexPortable: do you have switch or button that turns your wifi on and off? [15:03] that's what a hard-block usually means. [15:04] nicomachus: yes, does nothing [15:04] AlexPortable: you may check for a setting in your BIOS then as well. [15:04] theres no setting in bios for wifi [15:04] AlexPortable: is this an on-board NIC or a USB dongle? [15:04] onboard [15:05] nicomachus, by any chance: dell? [15:05] cfhowlett: HP [15:07] AlexPortable: hardblock usually refers to a hardware issue... a reboot might do it for you, but otherwise you may wanna check with the guys at ##hardware. [15:07] on windows wifi works [15:08] AlexPortable, ah. I asked the wrong guy. You have a Dell? [15:08] cfhowlett: HP [15:09] AlexPortable: has wifi worked on ubuntu for you before? [15:10] trying to figure out how to change my locale settings so that strftime uses english names for weekdays and months rather than norwegian ones, running locale I see I have LC_MESSAGES and LC_COLLATE in en_US.UTF-8 - and the rest are nb_NO.UTF-8 [15:10] AlexPortable, try this: on my Dell laptop F2 toggled the wifi under windows. not under linux. After 5 years of rebooting when I accidentally triggered it, I found out the ALT F2 toggled under linux. who knew. [15:10] cfhowlett 5 years of rebooting... never got tired? [15:11] MonkeyDust, well, it's not like I accidentally F2'd EVERY day ... [15:12] AlexPortable: Did you try to rfkill your wifi ? [15:12] i tried rfkill unblock all [15:12] jerto: that shouldn't cause a hard block, should it? that would be a soft block [15:12] Good morning everybody [15:12] there's a special button for wifi [15:12] on my keyboard [15:13] nicomachus: I had a hardblock on my wifi laptop and rfkill solved it [15:13] AlexPortable, experiment. combine the button with alt, ctrl, super, and shift key. one of them might work [15:13] why would that work [15:13] it's not under f1 or f2 or something [15:14] I just installed 15.04, I'm unable to open up the Sound Settings, it simply does nothing. How can I open it thru the terminal so I can see what's happening? [15:14] AlexPortable, special button, right? so why WOULDN'T it work. worked for me, but of course, YMMV [15:14] kinduff in terminal type alsamixer [15:16] MonkeyDust: thanks, that works, but I would love to do it thru the menu [15:17] kinduff, alsamixer [15:18] kinduff: I've noticed a pretty significant lag in alsamixer opening via the GUI. It can sometimes take as much as 30 seconds [15:19] nicomachus: I've noticed that too, but in this version (installed last night) it simply does not open. Do you know how to execute it via command line so I can debug? [15:21] kinduff: just 'alsamixer', as everyone else has said. [15:23] nicomachus: thanks [15:32] Hi, I was wondering if someone here could tell me why my NFS mount isn't showing my secondary drive's contents?: Both systems are ubuntu, the nfs export is /media/ the secondary drive is /media/video/ [15:32] I can see things in /media/anything-else, but not in video/ [15:33] circ-user-SGv14: you're mounting a local drive on a mount point of NFS [15:33] thats not going to work well [15:34] more so as your second drive will be mounted in userspace [15:34] not quite my goal, I have a headless server running Plex. I keep all my movies and such on /media/video (its a 1tb drive). [15:34] I'm trying to mount the whole /media drive on a second computer [15:34] SchrodingersScat: Did the dist-upgrade with a autoclean after and it's all good. Thank you sir. [15:34] circ-user-SGv14: ok so don't make /media an NFS mount === kian- is now known as kian [15:35] hello [15:35] I'm trying to take the servers /media and put it on /media/server-name on the laptop [15:35] circ-user-SGv14: ok, so don't make /media an NFS mount [15:36] the servers /media is an nfs export [15:36] kian: great [15:37] If I have a Mutt and MuttPrint installed on my server, is it possible to print the message from a script? I want to print like 600 messages to PDF's [15:38] circ-user-SGv14: I don't understand where are you mounting the NFS export on your local machine ? [15:39] ikonia: I'm not, I'm mounting the NFS export on a second machine [15:39] circ-user-SGv14: right - so /media will not contain /media/video as it's a userspace mount [15:40] ikonia: /media/video is.... /dev/sdb2 and exists in /etc/fstab [15:40] circ-user-SGv14: what file system is on it ? === cyphase is now known as Guest26759 [15:41] ikonia: all systems involved are using ext4 [15:41] circ-user-SGv14: seems odd then [15:41] can you write to /media/video on the client [15:41] ikonia: I can't see anything in /media/video from the client [15:42] circ-user-SGv14: I didn't ask that, can you write to it [15:42] ikonia: not entirely sure. I can try putting a file in it [15:42] circ-user-SGv14: that would be a write request [15:44] ikonia: read-only file system. I attempted a "touch /media/servername/video/testfile" from the client [15:44] circ-user-SGv14: so that may give you a clue as to whats going on [15:45] ikonia: indeed it does. [15:45] I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of an appropriate IRC channel. [15:46] I have router => switch => two computers.

So this OS is using an unknown driver [16:19] ManicPanic: so... you answered your own question then? [16:20] tgm4883: sorry... from nvidia installer .

[16:21] tgm4883: i want to enable hardware acceleration for the video graphics, but how ? [16:21] DeaDSouL: Probably doesn't have the DKMS modules, which is what would be responsible for recompiling the modules needed for the new kernel. Why not the Ubuntu provided ones? [16:22] apiw start with a question [16:22] ManicPanic: start with telling us what card and what release of ubuntu [16:23] tgm4883: ATI Radeon 3200 HD , Ubuntu 14.04 [16:23] tgm4883: the one with ubuntu provided is making the graphics card more hot than the nvidia installer [16:23] hi. i have installled many fonts in my /usr/share/fonts/ folder and i did fc-cache -fv, but many of my fonts doesnt appear like they should be. for example apple's famous Monaco font looks like default Monospace on my system.

[16:33] ReScO, very happy for you... shows in lshw ? [16:33] ymlf updating to ubuntu? [16:34] anyone? [16:34] lol [16:34] I'm so excited I have to share it with you. (Ok, not that much, but it's still interesting). I was looking for way to switch multi-monitor mode in way that shortcut Win+P works in Windows. I couldn't find solution for that, so I gave up and made simply hotkey shortcut to nvidia-settings with Win+P. Guess what? It doesn't run nvidia-settings. Instead it cycles between only 1st monitor, clone, expand, etc. modes. Cool. [16:35] MonkeyDust, OerHeks: the two lines before the error are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11888555/ [16:35] Any reason why i was'nt offered a proprietary graphics driver in "Additional Drivers" on 14.04 ? [16:35] i changed mine the other day to mirror a laptop [16:35] alot easier to see [16:36] ManiacPanic: already had driver installed manually? [16:37] Just that i dont like my CPU working so hard, and screaming all the time [16:37] ManicPanic: My guess would be that AMD dropped support for your card from the drivers that are in 14.04 [16:37] 23 minutes to blast off time i have had ylmf on this old ibm...Ubuntu it said upgrade hope it works [16:37] mike_papa: nope, it was fresh install [16:38] ManiacPanic: then probably dropped support thing. Is it AMD, or NVIDIA? [16:38] tgm4883: probably [16:38] mike_papa: AMD === jarvis is now known as Guest51169 [16:39] the fglrx AMD drivers in the repository works, but it starts the OS at very low resolution [16:40] Hey, im trying to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 in a External HDD, i burn the image into CD and install it selecting the second drive as media to install. I install too the bootloader in this disk (/dev/sdb), when the installation finish after reboot and select to boot from my external disk i get the grub correctly i select ubuntu and it didnt start i get a console with (initramfs) i dont know what i do bad :S [16:40] ManicPanic: I've read that AMD worsened their support for linux lately. [16:40] ManicPanic: the fglrx drivers in 14.04 don't support your card [16:40] the last update to the card i have was in 2013 by AMD's propietary diver i downloaded. [16:41] tgm4883: oh i see [16:41] ManicPanic: yea it looks like that the 13.1 driver was the last to support that card. That said, you should be using the open source radeon driver, not the fglrx driver https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [16:42] tgm4883: what graphics driver are 14.04 using then as default ? It looks good, but struggle on 3D alot [16:42] ManicPanic: IDK, I don't have your computer :) [16:42] ManicPanic: my guess would be the radeon driver, but IDK [16:43] tgm4883: are you guessing this one ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [16:43] ManicPanic: you mean literally the same link I just posted ;) [16:46] codekK, defective hd... [16:46] tgm4883: yes i guess. Since the graphics looks nice, it probably using the opensource drivers. But i will play around some more. Thanks [16:47] ioria, codekK: could have been a bad install, idk if I'd go straight to defective hdd.

I am running a 32bit system on a PentiumIII and bought a new motherboard. is it possible to plug the old os drive to the new system and boot from it? and then next step would be to upgrade it to a 64bit system (of course some progs would need a reinstall) i use Ub. 14.04 [16:50] yecril71pl: we just did a migration on the server due to some issues and it looks like those links weren't re-added to the databse... I'll take a look at it when I get back from this meeting. [16:50] yecril71pl: thanks for mentioning it. [16:51] yecril71pl: guidelines are here though: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines and IRC info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [16:53] noomobo, upgrading to 64 bit = reinstall. [16:54] OerHeks, too much trouble going thorugh it manually? [16:54] noomobo, no such thing as manually upgrading 32 > 64 bit. [16:55] if you find that option, let us know [16:55] I think i saw some manuals, OerHeks [16:55] why does my Wireless adapter work on Ubuntu but not on WIndows ? [16:55] ManicPanic: probably because you need to install the driver on windows externally [16:56] GAM002: Windows does not see the Wireless adapter at all. So i cant get drivers for it [16:56] OerHeks: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Migrating_Between_Architectures_Without_Reinstalling [16:57] ManicPanic: did you check the manufacture website? [16:57] OerHeks: but yea, don't do it, reinstalling is better [16:57] result may vary ... [16:57] GAM002: when i dual boot out of Windows again, i have to reset the BIOS for Ubuntu to see the Wireless adapter again [16:57] Windows is Inferior [16:58] I have question. I want to send sound over network so i use pulseaudio with default-server=ip and it is working great, but looks like microphone must work over network too, but i want to use local microphone, how to do that? [16:59] noomobo, changing hardware is a big change, maybe it will boot if you keep the same videocard. but 32> 64 bit, even with the guide tgm4883 found, fresh install is faster, better and keeps you from future problems. [16:59] ManicPanic: ooh sorry i dont why that happens [17:00] GAM002: i dont like reseting the BIOS everytime i dual boot :( [17:00] ya thats soo annoying [17:00] ManicPanic: then tell Windows to stop futzing with the wireless card? [17:00] OerHeks: and tgm4883 thanks for your advice. I might go for Mint then anyways and do a fresh reinstall [17:01] tgm4883: how ? i'm not an expert [17:01] noomobo, mint is not supported here ( they have their own issues) good luck [17:01] ManicPanic: probably start by asking in the right channel ;) [17:02] OerHeks: thanks , i will give it a try, Mint is going the non-commerical way [17:02] ManicPanic: tgm has a point try asking a qustion on windows help discussions [17:02] tgm4883: i cannot ask windows to stop futzing with the wireless adapter, if it cant see it [17:03] ManicPanic: you contacted the manufacture? [17:03] ManicPanic: You aere having a windows issue (problem with your wireless), and you need to ask the windows support resources. [17:03] "Mint is going the non-commerical way" or "Mint should not be used in a professional environent" ? anyway, offtopic [17:04] GAM002: the warrenty of the laptop expired. So cannot [17:04] ok will ask windows [17:04] OerHeks: ok ok :) just testing it,ccsm is the only thing not working for me there i guess [17:05] ManicPanic: on its a integrated. was it working fine on win 7 before? [17:05] GAM002: Doesnt matter in here - it's not an Ubuntu issue if Windows is fuzzing around with it :) [17:06] bekks: i think we should help our best even if its windows [17:06] GAM002: I think we should stick to Ubuntu support, since he already knows where to seek support for Windows. :) [17:07] GAM002: I support windows for a living, this is where the fun is [17:07] OerHeks: and tgm4883 have a good one and thx for helping, byeeeee [17:07] bekks: ok i am not going to stop debaiting [17:07] i am going to [17:07] my bad [17:08] GAM002: its okay, its been a week of searching for an answer.

[17:10] [ Log in using Launchpad ] on does not seem to work [17:10] ManicPanic: How about asking them to help you configuring your wifi chipset which isnt detected when not resetting the BIOS all the time. [17:11] ManicPanic: I dont think they will send you in here then. [17:11] bekks: they keep telling me to get a new wireless adapter, since windows dont see it. But it works perfect on Ubuntu after resetting the BIOS [17:11] ManicPanic: You arent even in ##windows - so no one tells you anything. [17:12] ManicPanic: And you already have your answer - get a new wireless adapter. Thats not "sending you in circles." [17:12] ManicPanic: This discussion can be safely considered as being pointless. [17:12] bekks: well thats kind of ignoring you know he got a working card [17:12] bekks: i was there Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.

[17:18] but it done happen on windows [17:18] its on ubuntu only [17:18] well rarely occour on windows [17:18] So clean your fans.

[17:20] GAM002: Your fans are full with dust, etc. - clean them, for avoiding your computer getting too hot and shutting down. [17:20] bekks: it happens on ubuntu when i play games but never in normal situations but on windows when i play far heavy game it dont get overheated and restarted [17:20] bekks: not everyone can clean their fans easily :( [17:21] bekks: if its fan issue shouldnt it effect both windows and ubuntu equally? [17:21] I have to basically unmount my notebook to get to my fans [17:21] xangua: I didnt say it would be easy or can be done without 3rd party help - but it's the only way to get clean fans. :) [17:21] GAM002: No, since drivers in Windows and Ubuntu are different.

[18:25] iori: it on line 59 [18:25] its* [18:25] anomonus2015: use gksu gedit /path/to/file , or sudo nano /path/to/file [18:25] anomonus2015: what are you trying to do btw? [18:26] edit grub [18:26] Pollyp i see [18:26] i do this in terminal ? [18:26] anomonus2015: yeah [18:27] eric i dont fully understand how i can edit in terminal i have a editor open to lok at the file [18:27] Pollyp we try to blacklist [18:27] EriC^^: it says something about broadcom then "dont use the device" should I activate it? [18:27] anomonus2015: type gksu gedit /path/to/file it'll open in gedit [18:27] anomonus2015: what are you trying to do with grub if you dont mind me asking? [18:27] whats gksu ? [18:27] anomonus2015: it's like sudo for gui apps [18:27] ioria: Eric brought up a good point, maybe that is the problem? [18:27] ohh just change the boot order and background image [18:28] ioria: What is blacklist btw :)? [18:28] anomonus2015: you have lots of questions for someone that wants to edit grub, how about you go back yo the beggining and explain your real goal¿ [18:28] im ery new to linux so its a learning curve atm [18:28] Pollyp: what do you mean? [18:28] xangua, learn linux [18:29] Pollyp it means that there is a conflict [18:29] anomonus2015: ok, you should be alright i guess, GRUB_BACKGROUND= for the image and do you know how the default= works? [18:29] yea 0 is 1 and so on [18:30] Pollyp Additional Drivers what do you suggest ? [18:30] anomonus2015: yeah, and 2>1 is for subsections [18:31] EriC^^: the option "do not use the device" is selected under broadcom 802.11, then it also says in a subtitle "This device is not working" [18:32] eric gksu is a program ? [18:32] ioria: I dont have additional drivers to my knowledge, I only installed the firmware! Nothing else! [18:32] Pollyp: try selecting to use the device [18:32] anomonus2015: yeah [18:32] ok so why do i ned it ? i dont wish to cluttter my hd [18:33] iora: I never installed any kernel to my knowledge either, may that be the problem? === konrad is now known as Guest2320 [18:33] anomonus2015: it won't really clutter much [18:33] ioria: honestly I dont even know what a kernel is :P [18:34] eric is there default way to achieve same thing ? using default software ? [18:34] anomonus2015: you can use a non-gui editor [18:34] sudo nano /path/to/file [18:34] !gksu [18:34] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [18:34] could i log into root and use gui editor ? [18:35] anomonus2015: log into root? [18:35] Pollyp i never talk about kernel.... [18:35] you're going about this the wrong way anomonus2015 [18:35] anomonus2015: No. :) [18:35] sorry im from windws background [18:35] * anomonus2015 hangs his head in shame [18:36] anomonus2015: gksu isn't a big package... won't really "clutter" your hdd at all [18:36] ok will it clutter my mind though :) [18:36] ioria: I know, just making sure :P, btw my pc froze now after I enabled broadcom [18:37] Pollyp: try restarting [18:37] Pollyp yeah [18:37] you mean it's still frozen? [18:38] iora, EriC^^: off topic my screen turns off every time I get to logon screen then I have to press the power button countinuesly for it to power back on, can that be a graphics driver problem? [18:38] anomonus2015: just gotta order your mind in directory trees and clear the clutter away. :) === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [18:39] do we have usb connection to hipocampus yet so i can run defrag software ? === Evanion[AFK] is now known as Evanion [18:40] Pollyp nvidia ?

[18:59] Pollyp seems it ask for this, firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, but it's available in vivid [18:59] Hi. I have a dell laptop with that optimus technology. If I run "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 vga" I get "Kernel driver in use: i915". Is this nouveau driver (which as far I as know supports GPU switching)? [18:59] *is this the nouveau driver [19:00] *not [19:00] minas114, no, i915 is the intel gpu driver === Gill_ is now known as Gill [19:01] ioria: I dont really understand, sould I deinstall something and reinstall something else? [19:03] BluesKaj, but if I open the driver manager I see that the selected one is "Using X.org X server -- Nouveau driver from xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" [19:04] who calls wpa_supplicant?

I need to set -Dwext [19:04] minas114, run this, sudo lshw -C video [19:05] /join #ipfp [19:05] minas114, then , lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' , include the quotes [19:06] BluesKaj, the second command returns "Kernel driver in use: i915". The first: http://pastebin.com/UUcBL8UT [19:08] ioria: You have done so much alredy m8, if you dont feel like going on I wont blame you! I will try intensive googleing once more! [19:08] Pollyp purge firmware-b43-installer and install firmware-b43legacy-installer [19:08] ioria: I will do so :) [19:08] minas114, the optimus system uses the intel gpu when the graphic load is low to normal, then when more graphics data is required for the display the nvidia takes the load [19:09] Pollyp seems that your firmaware is firmware-b43-lpphy-installer but 'its available in vivid [19:09] Pollyp you should install precise (not an option) [19:09] BluesKaj, alright. so I actually am using the nouveau driver that does this, right? [19:10] *not, again [19:10] minas114, yes, nouveau is the default for the nvidia gpu [19:10] ioria: what do you mean precise? are there more versions of b43-legacy`? [19:10] Hi everyone, My first time here ;) [19:10] Pollyp no, it'a another version of Ubuntu [19:11] BluesKaj, alright, good :) [19:11] By the way, when I log out, the screen keeps moving very fast to the right and then re-appears where it was... It's a graphical glitch, and I don't know how to fix it [19:12] Mason64: Welcome :) If you have a question regarding your Ubuntu, just ask the main channel and hopefully a helper will assist [19:12] minas114, sorry no idea [19:12] Pollyp: what kind of machine are you installing ubuntu onto [19:12] ioria: So I should find the b43-legacy for lubuntu?

I've tried running sudo fdisk -l in the terminal, and still nothing. It shows up in bios, so I don't think it's the hardware. Any ideas? === Karunamon|2 is now known as Karunamon [20:36] not sure qizav, any idea how to auto login with xubuntu? [20:38] Qixzav: Maybe make Ultimate Boot CD , boot to it, and use whatever low-level disk diagnostics are available on that CD for those specific makes of drives [20:39] !ubcd [20:39] :) [20:39] genii do you know how to autologin on xubuntu? [20:39] Guest51091: Maybe ask in #xubuntu :) [20:40] guest5109 I have no idea. I'm not well versed in xubuntu [20:40] sorry in new to this, so it that a server? [20:41] Guest51091: #xubuntu is another channel here on the Freenode IRC network.

I'm trying everything I can for the past two days to get the OS installed. I can't however post a screencap for you to take a look. I''m thinking about using my phone's camera but it's going to take a while. I'd upload my query on askubuntu.com. Thanks for your help anyway [20:53] linux in general, do permissions follow a symlink, or does the symlink need a set of its own perms? [20:54] MonkeyDust, do you know how i can modify the grub 2 boot loader screen ? [20:54] Symlinks always have 777. === davidw is now known as Guest49543 [20:54] newUbuntu: :) We are here to help .

[21:04] or something as Grub Customizer may be usefull [21:06] Bashing-om, thx for the link . creating custom menu from scratch seems quite involved [21:09] anomonus2015: Not really as involved as 1st appearance may seem. I have done it, and the result is pleasing. [21:11] hi [21:13] guys when using firefox in linux how can i speify that it rememebrs my open tabs so next time i open ff it restores them ?

[21:49] andreb, not a support issue persay, if you pay for something the price is on the web, contact the maintainers. You have to do the research. [21:50] andreb: i would ask canonical about that.

[22:02] firefox [22:02] oh Firefox! lol [22:02] Homely_Girl and adobe will stop supporting flash for linux [22:02] Homely_Girl: flash is a real big security issue and now firefox made the step to let everyone know.

[22:12] !lamp | leninrojas [22:12] leninrojas: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [22:12] * tgm4883 points out that the hatfields and mccoys was an actual feud [22:12] leninrojas: see the link from the bot ^ [22:12] tgm4883, Yes it is. [22:13] leninrojas start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Installing_Apache_2 [22:13] thanks friends [22:18] tgm4883, You are pretty smart, you have probably noticed the overabundance of cultural themes in the media. Leaves space for easy confirmation bias. ;) [22:22] is there a way to tell do-release-upgrade to upgrade to a specific version? [22:23] GJdan you can upgrade LTS -> LTS, if that's what's you mean [22:23] GJdan: can you name the versions from and to? [22:25] k1l_: 9.10 to whichever is the latest version still running php 5.4 [22:25] GJdan: oh no. [22:25] !eolupgrade | GJdan [22:25] GJdan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:25] GJdan: you can only upgrade to the next one. until you are on a LTS, then you can upgrade to the next LTS if that is already released. [22:26] GJdan: but with 9.10, i would advise to make a new install. everything else will take 1o times longer, if it will work at all. [22:26] My hands are somewhat tied I'm afraid [22:27] GJdan fastest, easiest and cleanest is to backup and fresh install [22:27] GJdan: iirc you will need a 14.04 [22:28] Oh, shite, that does sound terrible [22:29] GJdan: and 9.10 is a running security hell. i think a clean cut is the best solution. just show the chief the last "data robbed from $big_company" headlines and they will agree on a short outtake to do a fresh install [22:29] #ipfp [22:31] and since 14.04 is LTS you will have 4 years left to plan the next upgrade :) [22:35] guys whats a nice dark theme to get for ubuntu 14.04. somthing easy on the eyes ? [22:36] maybe with some olvie green in it [22:36] anomonus2015: i bet the internet is full of that. just give it a search and find what suits you [22:36] i am fond of the old amstrad between monocrom and full color monitors [22:37] anomonus2015: there is this ambiance theme in diferent color schemes in gnome-look.org [22:37] ambiance and radiance [22:39] Hi. [22:39] I have a problem trying to read my external hdd. [22:39] it gives me this error message: http://gyazo.com/6753a7a8dbbfa179686bdac22c34d65d [22:40] the problem is in a JFS partition; it can't mount her. There is other partition (EXT3) which is read correctly [22:40] hello all! I would like to use a lightweight linux distro to try to revitalize a 2007 Macbook4,1. A wiki exists for this computer for versions extending up to Ubuntu 11.04. If possible I would like to use a newer distro. What do you recommend? [22:40] the JFS partition comes from a TV [22:41] circ-user-cpZRV puppy or dsl ... general linux questions in ##linux, tho [22:42] circ-user-cpZRV: if lightweight, then Lubuntu. if that is still a PPC cpu, then there should still be special isos for that. [22:42] Thanks MonkeyDust. Let me rephrase the question: Considering that there is no wiki for this model for a new version of Ubuntu, would you discourage me from using Ubuntu on this machine? [22:42] My concern is about lack of support and drivers etc. [22:43] (ok thanks for your help) === davidw is now known as Guest54943 [22:44] I think the problems is I don't have the package JFSutils, how can I get it? [22:44] Does anyone here have reason to believe that hardware which was supported in Version 11.04 will not be supported in 15.04? [22:44] circ-user-cpZRV: just give it a try. [22:45] circ-user-cpZRV: i would not bet a user with a 2007 macbook is online here right know to give you a exact answer. [22:46] k1l_ ok then, I will! I understand that... I just thought I'd do well to ask around a bit before wiping a friend's drive. Thanks for your response, and cheers!

[23:16] me* [23:16] run apt-get update [23:16] then try again [23:16] thanks [23:16] sure === Hey is now known as Guest48055 [23:17] wow i looked at the log [23:18] i completely overlooked the 'try sudo apt-get update' [23:18] ;p [23:18] whats the equivelant of javac on windows [23:19] javac.exe ? [23:19] hey [23:19] test [23:19] default-jdk right? === Guest48055 is now known as protp [23:19] oh gosh brb [23:20] folks what are those restricted extras [23:20] like mp3 codec [23:20] can they be spyware? [23:20] since its binary [23:21] hi [23:21] i just installed apache2 on my ubuntu 14 server [23:21] but it didn't seem to install the www-data group [23:23] strange it made the groups but the apache install didn't chown the www folder with them [23:23] protp, It is codecs and your more likely to get spyed on the web. [23:24] wilee ty, so i can easily uninstall them? [23:24] is it better to report a problem on ubuntu forum or askubuntu on stackoverflow? [23:24] I am using them now to burn audio cd [23:24] protp, sure. === Evanion is now known as Evanion[AFK] [23:25] sudo sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[23:27] protp, the restricred are open source except for the ms fonts, which you can refuse. [23:28] wilee then how come they say restricted? it refers to ms fonts only? [23:28] and how can I check if they are installed or not [23:29] thanks [23:29] I like linux more and more :D [23:30] protp, Not sure why I think it is some codecs have been released by the original developers, it's a bit complex. I would only say don't get to caught up in spyware....etc, you are never invisible, nor perfect in your protection. ;) [23:31] If someone wants you you will be gad [23:31] had* [23:31] willee however its emotionally pleasant for me at the moment [23:31] to use open source [23:31] :D [23:31] protp, have fun [23:31] protp, Good. ;) [23:33] weird thing - now that I burned 2 audio tracks [23:33] disk is kinda not showing any data on it [23:33] it says no media in disk [23:33] *disks [23:34] protp, Give us a little outline of the ubuntu release and app your using [23:34] 14.04.02 64 bit [23:34] Xfburn === dv__ is now known as dv_ [23:35] protp, Cool, that probably helps, not an area I can do more than google and ask questions is all. [23:35] it loads it now saying open blank cd [23:36] wilee also yes how to check if ms fonts are installed? [23:36] at least I can fix that one :D [23:36] install synaptic, a detailed softwarecenter [23:36] !info synaptic [23:36] synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.81.3 (vivid), package size 1345 kB, installed size 7685 kB [23:36] protp, When you installed the extras you would have had to say yes to their install [23:37] i did [23:37] but OerHeks has given you great info to look === Guest54943 is now known as davidw [23:37] also You can't mount a blank CD, it has no filesystem on it. You can't mount an audio CD, same reason. [23:37] hehe simple :D [23:37] so if I cant mount it linux cant play it [23:39] when I installed extra I clicked yes for ms fonts, however it said it failed to download it [23:39] so I left it at it [23:39] protp, INstall synaptic and look [23:39] oki [23:40] its already installed [23:42] ty, fonts are found and removed [23:45] so where were we [23:45] oh yeah === zombor is now known as Guest3978 [23:46] i needed help can some one tell me what i neededif i send a snap shot on whats going on ?

[23:48] Hi I am trying to ssh to some machine, but I get this error: Too many authentication failures for comp1. Does anybody know what should I do: [23:48] ? [23:49] mojtaba: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22ssh%22%20%22too%20many%20authentication%20failures%22 [23:50] reisio: thx. I will check it. [23:50] anomonus2015, settings-sound-sound affect, it turn off all sounds is all. [23:50] turns* [23:51] i have black borders around all my applications [23:51] can any body help? [23:52] amicrawler, You've been at this for days, why don;t you just reinstall? [23:52] reisio: the problem is that, this one does not have key. I am using password-less ssh for other machines though. [23:53] wileee i dont wish to turn of al sounds :/ can i replace the login drum sound perhaps ? wheres it stored ? === sysop is now known as Guest32932 [23:53] hi, how can i accept multicast packets on ubuntu/iptables? not sure if offtopic.. [23:53] anomonus2015, Not sure I turn all sounds off first is all. [23:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11890464/ tried this, no go [23:54] I seem to have broken lightdm. Trying to log in as a guest gives me a solid blue screen; trying to log in as myself gives me a mostly black screen with an odd version of a dialog asking if I want to upgrade to Vivid Vervet. [23:55] It's odd in that it has no title bar or border of any kind—it's a perfect rectangle. And the buttons look less…textured, than they normally are. [23:55] anomonus2015, I think at that gui you can change the sound system wide, not sure it affects that area you need changed. [23:55] I've tried reinstalling it (apt-get install --reinstall lightdm), but that doesn't seem to have changed anything. Any other ideas? [23:56] wileee, found this . http://askubuntu.com/questions/24946/how-do-i-disable-the-drum-beat-sound-on-the-login-screen [23:56] !lightdm [23:57] eisio: the problem is that, this one does not have key. I am using password-less ssh for other machines though. [23:57] Moonlightning, You don't reinstall it there is a command to reload it, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM seems like a guess though. [23:58] anomonus2015, A lot of options there, I use the ubuntu tweak tool, it's from a ppa, which are not supported here is all. [23:58] wileee: reload? [23:59] Moonlightning, read the wiki, you should of found first.
