The issue I have is what have you done to get here and how is lightdm involved? [00:03] k82wong, What release? [00:03] im using 14.04 [00:03] 64bit [00:04] wileee: Fair enough. This started after I installed and then removed the proprietary Flash.

The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ [00:42] dreonthecrayon: but i'm not really up to date on nvidia and intel gpu switching so this may be old info [00:42] what exactly does bumblebee do [00:43] dreonthecrayon: makes nvidia optimus work [00:43] dreonthecrayon: allow switching between the gpus after boot, having this system was designded to save battery life by using the intel igpu when in wasn't needed [00:44] Does anyone know how I can make a sed statement replace instances of i = 1, i = 2, i = 4000 but ignore i = 1+1, i = 2+1, etc?

[00:51] or a tar or another [00:52] wileee: I'am using apt-get [00:53] chaker, right, no ppa? no third party, just trying to see why an error. [00:54] chaker, Is there a link you are using? [00:54] dreonthecrayon: What release are you running ? Might consider (14.04) installing the Nvidia recommended 352 driver from PPA along with nvidia-prime to control the graphics sets .

[00:56] MO_Handes sudo -i [00:56] chaker, Never install debian in ubuntu or anything but debian. [00:57] wileee: sorry, but I didn't understand what you mean [00:59] chaker, appears to be a ubuntu build, from debian, my mistake there. However it is not supported but when you add 3rd parties you can have dependency issues, I would just install from ubuntu, that is supported here. [00:59] from a debian package that is not by debian [01:00] Firefox 39.0 on Xubuntu 14.04 crashes on start-up but starts fine, do you guys already know this? [01:00] MO_Handes: man sudoers search for NOPASSWD [01:00] But the problem that ubuntu official repo have only 0.4 version and the current stable version is 1.2 [01:01] awesomess3, Youhave FF as an autostart? Try delaying it [01:01] wileee, what is an autostart? [01:01] chaker, Sure, you have to weigh if you want support here at least. [01:02] awesomess3, "Firefox 39.0 on Xubuntu 14.04 crashes on start-up but starts fine" I read this that you have as it sounds have FF automatically starting when you hit the desktop. [01:03] wileee, oh no. I mean by "start up" as when I hit the browser button. [01:03] awesomess3, okay than what does "but starts fine" mean [01:04] wileee, the crash report window shows up but later like 2 seconds the Firefox window shows up as normal. [01:04] Thanks wileee. For now I will remove the thirdparty repo and continue using 0.4 [01:04] awesomess3, Ah, you see a crash gui, have you looked at it? [01:05] wileee, I can't remember what it said xD. This only happens the very first time I start Firefox 39.0....so...yeah :( [01:05] awesomess3, I guess your question is if we are seeing this, I have'nt seen it here as of yet. [01:06] awesomess3, I run my FF not saving anything, however I once in a while have to do a reset, If I've loaded the addons, and removed some. [01:07] wileee, I start Firefox with a fresh Xubuntu 14.04 liveCD setup wileee [01:07] do I need to do anything for the /etc/sudoers file be reread and use the new version after edit? [01:08] awesomess3, Ah, well that is a funky environment, things are running really s l o w [01:08] wileee, what's running really slow? [01:08] awesomess3, A live cd or usb [01:08] wileee, not for me. everything is running fast.

[01:12] oi [01:13] awesomess3, Really, heh, maybe you will actually do the research on how fast an internal vs external vs cd vs usb runs in data speed.

I used the web portal to boot to a recovery kernel (other partition) and it looks like it died later that night I was working on it (july 8th). Last time stamps in /var/log are from that night, even auth.log's last [02:02] message got cut off at 'auth.log's last' [02:02] cont: auth.log's last input was an hourly cron job. the directory /mnt/sda2/boot is empty...

[02:16] AndroidHacker, Cool yeah dconf, makes sense [02:17] sysop2: A thought ; /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf >> managed=true ?? [02:17] it was like auto-mount-auto-open or somethin [02:17] already removed network manger and since I dont have dns I cant get it back. [02:17] I think I turned off the automount ythere [02:17] yea [02:18] I did try setting it to manual ip settings in network manager gui before I removed it and got nothing. [02:18] sysop2, what exactly is the problem? im not sure i understand [02:18] if I try to resolve any domain name via dns it says it cant reach the servers. yet all the other boxes on my network have no problem reaching the dns servers. [02:19] now avahi works perfectly. but not external dns servers. [02:19] oh ok.. then it MUST be some config problem on ur box [02:19] looks like someone needs SASL [02:19] ok, so where do I check.

[02:26] thanks [02:26] bencc, We would not really know why there is a hash issue, generally these things resolve in a couple of days. However you want to be sure it's not just a bad repo, additionally that is not a preferred install source, it is in the ubuntu repos. [02:27] if its something you need badly, just go download it elsewhere [02:27] find a deb package or somethin [02:27] sysop2, any luck? [02:28] oi [02:28] wileee: isn't there another package or place to find the fonts? [02:28] also make sure you ifdown and ifup eth0 to make it reload the interfaces [02:28] sysop2, [02:28] thats what i just said [02:30] bencc, Can't really say, sorry, I would just hang for the repos to get it corrected, but I have windows and word if needed. [02:30] rebooting to be safe. but I had a getwrok setup in the gui before so I am not sure why it stopped working in the first place. I switched from a netgear router to an ubuntu box as my router runing isc dhcp and it has not worked ever since. infact none of my dhcp only devices work anymore, but that is a different problem for a different night. === pat_ is now known as Guest25964 [02:31] I meant gateway [02:31] sysop2, then i would likely say something else is going on if its multiple issues [02:31] well all my other boxes I swtiched to manual ip and dns works.

[03:00] I think I ask in playonlinux [03:00] ubuntu definitely does not have the best sound support [03:00] has the same sound support as any other GNU/Linux distro [03:00] I think better than windows [03:01] Oh I agree [03:01] windows has no support somehow [03:01] oh if your running a game with wine then thats another story [03:01] Thanks a ton Androidhacker. I could have googled around all night and not figured that out. [03:01] TommyThunb, no problem man [03:01] should I ask in PlayonLinux ?? [03:02] Kali_Yuga: investigate why your sounds goes off, in syslog or dmesg [03:02] Kali_Yuga: or tail -f /var/log/syslog while you gaming [03:02] be warned though - sometimes just because you create the persistence file, doesnt mean it automagically works.. sometimes you will need to manually enable it. just do a little google-fu if you need some assitance [03:02] that is an [sic] hilarious nick, though :p [03:07] tommytune tommtune [03:08] Well, I'm going to have to boot my Winders to rebuild this thumb drive. Thanks again Androidhacker. [03:10] hello, trying to get MAAS up on ubuntu 15.04 server. I forgot to setup my secondary network interface before installing maas. I ran dpkg-reconfigure on all the maas packages, but it still doesn't see it. google tells me it is automatically found during install. [03:11] !maas | bhundven [03:11] bhundven: Metal as a Service is a dynamic server provisioning service for scalability. See more about it at https://maas.ubuntu.com. [03:11] Oops. [03:12] !muchomaas [03:12] I was in the middle of upgrading to Vivid Vervet using `do-release-upgrade`…was editing a config file using `vim` and tried to end an insert with control-c, which actually seems to have killed do-release-upgrade. [03:13] Is there a channel for developing Ubuntu apps? [03:14] katsumeblisk: ubuntu touch apps? [03:14] lotuspsychje: desktop apps for unity [03:14] forgot Ubuntu existed for phones and should've specified [03:14] katsumeblisk: #ubuntu-devel is for developing [03:14] lotuspsychje: Thank you. [03:15] !touch | katsumeblisk for ubuntu phone apps [03:15] katsumeblisk for ubuntu phone apps: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [03:15] Moonlightning, My guess still running, but your at the controls. If in the download and stopped no biggie, your sources have been changed is all. [03:17] Moonlightning, Make sure you as vanilla as possible as for as no 3rd party repos on or their packages in your OS. [03:17] you're [03:19] I am trying to install the Command-line Ubuntu from a CD [03:19] But it always says partition failed [03:19] I tried ext4 and ext3 and both are failed. [03:20] zzo38, server or mini? [03:20] The command-line version; someone else recorded the CD for me [03:21] Let me see what it says === Qixzav is now known as qaxzyv [03:24] How do I check? I tried uname -a and it says: 3.19.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP [03:24] I don't know what it means? [03:24] wileee: if it's still running, how do I get it back to the foreground? [03:25] zzo38, I would just describe how your creating the partitions, is it a command line or a simple gui, to the channel. [03:25] (I failed to install Windows too; I tried. Nevertheless the computer originally had Windows but someone else's installation and now this computer is given to me to use instead) [03:26] I used the built-in menu in the installer to create the partition [03:26] It says there is 2 partitions, ext4 partition and swap partition, but when I pushed send then it failed to create a filesystem. I tried changing it to ext3 but that also failed [03:26] Moonlightning, Not sure, I never upgrade releases. [03:27] zzo38, I would get a live ubuntu, you will have an easier time figuring this out, especially here. [03:29] I don't want X though and whoever recorded the CD is now gone, I am currently on a different computer, with Windows [03:29] Moonlightning, If it were me since it seemed to be in the download, and your asked to proceed to an upload, I would see if running and kill it if needed, kinda a rough way is all. [03:30] I think it was past the download, given that it had started to ask about replacing config files. [03:30] Packages are generally all downloaded /before/ any of that stuff happens, yeah? [03:30] Moonlightning, And that's why you were editing, no idea here. [03:31] as far as "I" know [03:31] O, and what command to check the MAC address? [03:31] I can see that it's still running, but I'm afraid to just outright kill it. [03:31] There's a /vivid -> dpkg -> zsh -> vim/ branch in pstree. That's gotta be it. [03:31] The network configuration and download stuff before the partitions all passed OK. [03:31] Moonlightning, I would not kill the install. [03:31] Yeah. [03:31] as of yet if it's running not stuck [03:32] I wonder what would happen if I killed the vim or zsh subprocesses. [03:32] zzo38, Sounds like the mini cd a netload. [03:32] …this is weird. I swear the shell in the foreground is the one that I invoked do-release-upgrade from. [03:32] O, OK, so how do I fix that then? [03:33] Because the shell it dropped me into so I could fix the config conflict was a root shell (though, oddly, it was zsh and seemed to use my shell config) [03:33] I still want to also know what command I can use to check what the MAC address is. [03:34] zzo38: ifconfig === supergauntlet is now known as boypussy [03:34] I already tried ifconfig and it doesn't exist [03:34] zzo38, Since you have had issues with windows and now ubuntu, I would get a live cd, one with a desktop and investigate the HD, can be done maybe from that cd but you need someone who knows how and will instruct you. [03:34] zzo38: then you're typing it incorrectly [03:35] I typed it properly and it doesn't work. [03:35] Is that program not installed before the system is finished being installed? [03:35] sudo ifconfig [03:35] zzo38: its always installed [03:35] bumblebee: doesn't require sudo [03:36] I am already running as root, I don't need sudo [03:36] why are you running as root [03:36] I don't know if this is an OS question or a networking question: If I run a program that is analyzing data from a local machine, will I notice a speed increase with connecting to localhost or the internal ip?/why is this [03:36] But, I tried it, I typed it in properly and it does not work! Other commands such as ls and fdisk are working [03:36] QUICK Install Windows 8.1 [03:36] QUICK Install Windows 8.1 [03:36] QUICK Install Windows 8.1 [03:36] QUICK Install Windows 8.1 [03:37] The system isn't finished installing yet, that is why I am running as root [03:37] zzo38: that doesn't make sense [03:37] zzo38: can you explain what you're doing, how you got to the point you're at now, and what you're trying to accomplish === andre__ is now known as Guest27207 [03:38] One thing I am trying to do is to set up the partitions, but it says it cannot create the file system. The other thing I am trying to do is to figure out the MAC address, but I suppose that can wait if necessary... [03:39] Hi [03:39] …oh. Looks like the upgrader process got adopted by init. [03:39] I did everything in the installer properly, including to tell what IP address, gateway, DNS, proxy server, timezone, keyboard layout, usernames, etc and now it is the partition menu, it is failing. [03:39] So on my compueted I accidentally installed Ubuntu over. Windows [03:39] And I'm pretty sure it deleted the hard drice [03:40] Can I recover it? [03:40] Ben64: Does that explain it? [03:40] It is the 32-bit Linux, because the computer is the 32-bit computer. [03:40] Howdy all. Is the rc.local file the "proper" way to run the wpa_supplicant rules to attach to a wireless network on system boot? [03:41] I am having the problem! [03:43] * Moonlightning blinks. [03:44] That was really weird. I SIGTERMmed the vim instance, and the shell I had exited too, tossing me back into the root shell. [03:44] Guest27207, Are you in ubuntu? [03:44] At least I know where I am now. Whew. [03:44] woot [03:44] However when I told it to create partitions, I only got ext4 and swap partition, neither set as a boot partition? [03:45] …argh, no, I definitely don't know where I am. >.< [03:45] I quit the root shell, expecting to be tossed back into the upgrade script, but instead, I got logged out of the tty. [03:45] The upgrade script is STILL apparently running, but I have no idea how to get that terminal back. [03:46] …no, wait, it doesn't /have/ a terminal anymore. Uh… [03:46] I think you need to push CTRL+ALT+F1 to get back the installer menu, at least that works for me [03:46] zzo38: was that directed to me? [03:47] I don't know [03:48] How do I fix the partition? The existing Windows installation (now deleted though, due to partitioning) work, and like I said it won't install Window either. I do have another hard drive with Windows but it won't work on this computer either, it says the hard drive configuration wrong. I try to put Linux instead [03:51] Can I somehow ask apt which config files have been customized? [03:51] what a good question [03:51] Like I said it is "3.19.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP". What does that mean? [03:55] zzo38: It means you're running kernel release "3.19.0-15-generic", kernel version "#15-Ubuntu SMP ". SMP means "shared memory multiprocessor". [03:56] zzo38: (thanks to `man uname' for providing me with this information). === erwin is now known as easyOnMe [03:59] I tried turning off Boot Virus Detection; maybe this will help [04:01] Could that be the problem? [04:01] Damn, I really need more disk space for sbuild chroots for building i386 packages, grr. [04:01] Well, I am restarting it and maybe it will help? [04:01] zzo38: I don't understand your problem. Would you like dual boot or single boot, and which hard drive would you like to use for it? [04:01] Single-boot, there is only one hard drive === NotANick_ is now known as NotANick [04:02] What happens right now when you try to boot from that hard drive? [04:03] This time it detected DHCP even though I don't want DHCP (the router supports it, but I need a static LAN address for this computer; last time I was able to set that up) [04:03] The hard drive doesn't work when I try to boot from it, it just says error cannot boot from this hard drive [04:04] any one having problems with google earth loading [04:07] any one having problems with google earth loading [04:08] Where is he now? Ping timeout? Lovely. [04:09] VFDPrim: Is it a website? Can you install it locally? [04:09] Depending on the Internet when you can avoid it is bad. [04:09] i go right through there site and then it instulls through the store but only after you download it [04:10] it was working for me last week but now it opens and shuts down right away [04:11] i been trying to 'sudo apt-get update-usbids' and i keep getting errors. im on ubuntu 14.04 amd 64 desktop with only apt-get update && upgrade [04:12] where can i get that file i think i need it as my rt2800usb device (RT3572) isnt being read correctly [04:12] its a wifi usb adapter [04:14] en1gma: 'update-usbids' isn't a valid apt-get command [04:14] Ben64: are you a web developer === Gub is now known as Guest67178 [04:15] easyOnMe: just ask whatever question you want, as long as it is on topic here [04:15] Ben64 'sudo update-usbids' * [04:15] sorry bout the typo [04:15] reason I ask is that I have some issues currently some symbols do not come out well when rendered on the online web server but on my laptop it does especially "₵" symbol [04:15] en1gma: whats the error [04:15] it shows where the file comes from but i hoping someone might have it already [04:16] I do not know whether it has something to do with the OS [04:16] on my laptop I am currently using ubuntu on our company's online web server it is using ubuntu as well [04:16] http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids [04:16] but this two images differ yet they are running the same php code [04:16] sourceforge link is down it looks like [04:17] http://imgur.com/Zk7OwIb against this http://imgur.com/flldXBg [04:17] easyOnMe: you having trouble with displaying the currency sign for the Ghana Cedi? [04:18] Ben64: yup [04:18] or just render the cent symbol [04:19] that's what i was trying to point out, the symbol you used is for the Cedi, not cent [04:19] that is all I want to do when I run the code on my local server it works but on the online web server it does not show instead it converts the cent symbol into a question mark [04:19] it's still not a cent symbol [04:19] what is weird is the my laptop runs on ubuntu 14 which is the same as the online web server ubuntu 14 as well [04:26] \quit [04:29] These instructions worked for me in Ubuntu 15.04 with Unity and then with XFCE, but do not work for me in Xubuntu 15.04 installed with different options for driver and update download/install. How can I find out why and fix it? http://itsfoss.com/fix-brightness-ubuntu-1310/ [04:32] hey [04:32] I need a script to run every 2970 seconds [04:32] I know crontab has one minute precision [04:32] What alternatives do I have? [04:33] Ben64: I still tried to print the cent symbol [04:33] the outcome is still the same [04:33] it the web server does not print out the cent symbol correctly but changes it into another character of question mark symbol [04:33] this time with a black diamond background [04:34] Ben64: this time around I really use the cent symbol [04:35] I just copied and pasted it into my code [04:37] in ukraine therful thats a nations for blackthlete.

[11:50] Whats the best way to install linux iso into pendrive, persistence, with usb universal installer in fat32 or ext4? ... [11:50] there're better ways? [11:51] euax_temp: just use the usb-creator and give a persistence space amount? [11:52] i want to use linux into sdd hard disk and use it like a usb external harddrive to run linux, i dont know the best way to do it k1l [11:53] i download iso in 64 and i want to install it into sbb but i have hw problems and i want to use best way to enjoy sdd velocity, i dont know if sata3 limit it [11:54] sdd :) [11:54] euax_temp: your chokepoint isn't SATA3, it's USB [11:54] euax_temp: it'll run far slower than a barebones installation on an internal drive === tvoss is now known as tvoss|test === tvoss|test is now known as tovss [11:54] exactly sorry i try to connect it into the pc too, yes usb === tovss is now known as tvoss [11:55] euax_temp: in theory, you can boot a LiveUSB with all other drives disconnected and install to the USB drive. But that may or may not work - external hard disks aren't the best ones to be using as a 'live' boot environment and such [11:56] euax_temp: so you want a "live system" beeing installed onto a usb-harddisk? [11:56] euax_temp: you can make a regular install onto the usb-hdd [11:56] yes live system into sdd [11:56] and try to use best way to be faster sdd [11:57] euax_temp: dont call "faster" when talking about usb and live system [11:57] yes sorry, so far slower? [11:57] euax_temp: is "faster" your idea for the live system? it is not going to be faster as a real install. [11:58] usb as such is slowing everything down. [11:58] anyone know why libnotify would get 'stuck' or how to fix it without restarting X? [12:02] k1l: im here again sorry i read [12:03] k1l: im pending to install sdd internaly but now i only can use it like external usb or with diferent carcase, but usb i think, then i understand i lose velocity, but best way is live cd? [12:04] list php [12:04] euax_temp:with live cd, if i create 2 partitions into usb i can save data? [12:05] k1l: sorry [12:05] euax_temp: no. make a real install and just choose that sdd in the install procedure [12:05] hey guys every time i restart ubuntu my laptop screen brightness defaults to maximum on my Fn (Function) keyboard control ! Is there any way to prevent this from happenning ? [12:05] and with usb always its necesary fat32 or i can use ext4? [12:06] euax_temp: talking about making a real install now? [12:06] ubuntu needs to be installed onto ext4. [12:07] k1l: will be a kali. i need to prepare file sytem before because sdd is into usb carcase?

[13:11] yes, since 13.10 is that long out of service they shut the repos down. [13:13] Why is the repo called old-releases though if I am updating to something new? [13:13] because you first need working 13.10 repos to make the upgrade to 14.04.

[15:51] anomonus2015, I doubt I can help but lets get some things confirmed, what is the issue, in detail please, and what have you tried. [15:51] but the laptop also has a hardware method to control brightness [15:51] ioria, how do I discover which shell I'm in? Is rw the standard? [15:51] fardarter, locate xorg.conf [15:51] Hi some one help me [15:51] so every time i restart ubuntu my brighness is on full in the hardware [15:52] fardarter, no, [15:52] My system setting and dispaly settings are missing [15:52] in unity tweak the setting remains the same [15:52] fardarter, in case yu have to sudo mount -o remount,rw / [15:52] iroria, so sudo rm xorg?

[15:57] Guest72408, what do you mean by embedded ? [15:57] how do i add a user in console with root privileges (i.e. the user can enter sudo somecommand) [15:57] I want to kepop my desktop in 1080*720 resolution thats it [15:57] Guest, don't use enter as punctionation [15:57] fardarter, where are looking for a file, not a folder [15:57] Guest72408, Putty is also available for linux [15:57] hectortrope, run many what? vbox has it's own software in place of graphics etc. [15:58] ioria, what is the correct command for a file look-up? [15:58] fardarter: 'locate xorg.conf' [15:58] or 'find / -name xorg.conf' [15:58] or: sudo updatedb; locate xorg.conf [15:59] hectortrope, Details are important, this is not magic. [15:59] hectortrope: have you looked at virtualbox's 'view' options?

Intel Graphics for Linux* - Intel(R) Graphics Installer for Linux* 1.0.7 [16:04] fardarter, seems you don't have a xorg.conf .... [16:04] ubuntu has experienced internal error should I edit aport ? [16:04] also, literally the first link when I searched for "embed terminal in desktop ubuntu" [16:04] ioria, should I download one? [16:04] ioria, this wouldn't be an artefact of starting in recovery mode? [16:05] Hi again. :D I have another problem that I suspect is simple but I can't get it. It might be something wrong with my computer though, I just want to make sure. It's power related. [16:05] As far as i can see 1.0.7 was the last version to support 14.04 LTS but its now 'depreciated' and the intel open source website advises you upgrade to 14.1 if you use intel [16:05] fardarter: generally you don't need one [16:05] fardarter, no..... the fix would be to delete that file to reset to defaulr.... but if you don't have it [16:05] ioria, where to from here? [16:05] hectortrope: does the OS run ok otherwise? [16:05] BlitzerHound, state it for help from the channel. ;) [16:05] I currently have a wget of: wget -T 5 -t 100 -P /root/gfsmodeldata/ --progress=bar:force --retry-connrefused /root/gfsmodeldata/ --reject idx ftp://host/file{{00..240..6},{252..384..12}} and I'm wondering if there's a way to have wget not proceed to the next file unless the previous file has reached 100%? Is that simple wget code not capable of realizing that without doing a loop or something? I only want it to proceed if wget reac [16:05] The way it stands if you get a unable to resolve or incorrect login it just proceeds to the next file, 006 in this case instead of retrying to get 000. [16:06] ioria, I have etckeeper. Should I just rollback to yesterday first? [16:06] ActionParsnip: Installed just 2hours back [16:06] so can't say [16:06] Is there no shortcut (hold down) key for running something as root from desktop from the right-click menu? [16:06] Oh, right. Well, my charger is broken, and has some kind of short in it, and when I use my computer the screen flickers on and off, like dim and bright. I have my settings to stay dim, but for some reason no matter what I do it always flickers dim and bright, dim and bright. How do I keep it dim all of the time? [16:07] ioria, not that I know what the cause of this is: I didn't touch any setting prior to its occurrence. [16:07] anomonus2015: you should tell intel to fix their installer [16:07] hectortrope: if its ok then id disable it, get fuly updated and test the OS for a while (days) [16:07] tsvenson, That is a windows option. [16:07] tgm4883, thx for the advice. really helpfull in solving my current issue [16:08] ActionParsnip: disable what? [16:08] anyone here has used phpstorm before [16:08] tsvenson, What are you trying to run as root, not a generally good isea. === erwin is now known as easyOnMe [16:08] fardarter, what error do you have at normal boot ? [16:08] hectortrope: apport [16:08] idea* [16:08] Ok ActionParsnip thanks [16:08] ioria, I don't get an error. [16:08] ioria, I just get blank screens. [16:09] ioria, This is after login. [16:09] Hey guys, I had a strange problem last night I'd like some help to prevent. I have an ubuntu KVM server running an Ubuntu server VM which has a physical disk as a secondary drive. The secondary drive is luks encrypted with an ext4 filesystem and is a member of a single drive zfs pool. The sever suffered accidental power loss last night and the gpt became corrupted on the disk meaning it couldn't be mounted at boot and the vm would not start. I repaired it [16:09] Years and years ubuntu never fix trhats internal error why so? [16:09] fardarter, can you enter grub with shift and set to nomedeset ? [16:09] wileee, Yes, like in Windows when I can hold down one of alt/ctrl/shift to run as administrator yes. [16:09] ioria, I vaguely know what grub is. Is that pre-login screen? [16:10] fardarter, after login ? [16:10] pugtor: afaik you're already mixing bash and wget with the {0..240}, so isn't that like bash starting the individual wgets? imo if you want more testing then yes you should add more bash. [16:10] ioria, how do I get to grub from terminal? [16:10] tsvenson, Linux is not windows, the sooner you realize this it will be easier, both good OS's just very different. [16:11] fardarter, no.... you got blank screen after graphic login ? [16:11] iroria, that's correct. [16:11] ioria, that's correct. [16:11] ioria, I suspect the signal is being sent to the screen which is blanked. [16:11] fardarter, ls -al ~/.Xauthority ? [16:11] wileee, I'm not debating linux versus windows. This is about UX and a quick key+right-click is an UXwin. [16:12] anomonus2015: look, you want to install the latest intel drivers onto your computer. The official stance of the developers of the driver (Intel) is that it's not supported on your release of Ubuntu and that you should upgrade. The official stance of this channel is that the version in the ubuntu repository is the supported version. So I'm not sure what you [16:12] want us to do here, you have 2 options. 1) Upgrade your Ubuntu to a version that is supported by the intel driver installer. This however would make it unsupportable here. 2) Find an older version of their installer that supports your version (which would also make it unsupported here) [16:12] fardarter, and for now, you don't need to boot in recovery, just boot normally and open a console [16:12] System problem propogated is it also because of aport enabled issue? [16:12] Should I ask my question again? :o [16:13] tsvenson, I did not say you were, from here before your last post we were comparing the two looking for root access. What and why a root launch, this is a question you will be asked by any helper here whom is responsible. [16:13] iorian, I get " -rw-rw-r-- 1 fardarter fardarter 62 Jul 17 17:35 /home/fardarter/.Xauthority" when I input " ls -al ~/.Xauthority" [16:14] ioria, I need to chat here though to know what to do. [16:14] wileee, In my case I wanted to run an installation and it needs to run as root. The shell is no mystery for me, just got a bit miffed there are no desktop shortcut. That's all. [16:15] fardarter, well, that file file should be -rw------- 1 not rw-rw-r-- [16:15] ioria, is that the issue, or is that a new issue? [16:15] ioria, and how do I reset it? [16:16] fardarter, mv that file in .Xauthority_back, and boot normally [16:16] Is my question still seen if it scrolls off of the screen? I dunno how far back you guys look. [16:16] fardarter, and if con't login open a console ctrl-alt-f2 [16:17] ioria, sorry can you explain the move a little first? [16:17] fardarter, we make a backup copy of your file [16:18] BlitzerHound, does it flicker on battery power? [16:19] ioria, so mv .Xauthotity_back [what goes here]? [16:19] ioria, authority* [16:19] BlitzerHound, I would check for the same in the guest and a live to narrow down this a bit. [16:19] fardarter, you're just making a copy of that file, but with a different name [16:20] ioria, how do I pick out which file I'm renaming though? [16:20] No, but the battery is basically dead and doesn't hold a charge for longer than like 20 minutes. And at the moment I think the charger is getting worse because It won't charge the computer anymore, just keep it on. I'm guessing it's just not giving out enough power, and whenver the screen goes dim is when the power exceeds what it's taking in. My question is how do I change the brightness so that it'll stay the same whether p [16:20] lugged in or not? [16:20] ioria, which argument is it? [16:21] fardarter, have you ever mv a file before ? [16:21] ioria, anyway, what is the full command-line input? [16:21] ioria, no never. [16:21] BlitzerHound, Honestly if your not sure on that power I would shut it off till replaced. guest has no official login nor does a live cd. [16:21] ioria, I've only been using linux for 6 months now. [16:22] wileee: I didn't understand any of that. So I should just keep my computer off? [16:22] you might be shorting [16:22] fardarter, ok, you should be in you home folder.... mv .Xauthority .Xauthority_backup ... if it changes owner we'll modify later [16:22] BlitzerHound, Would you drive a car which acts the same? [16:23] or a chainsaw...etc [16:23] In all honesty I might. But I understand, it might be a bad idea. [16:23] ioria, mv .Xauthority .Xauthority_backup? I get "mv: cannot stat ‘.Xauthority’: No such file or directory" [16:24] ioria, I am in home [16:24] So there's nothing I can do? [16:24] fardarter, ls -al [16:24] heh, I will remember your willingness to continue past safe borders. [16:24] ;) [16:24] ioria, in home? [16:24] fardarter, your home, sure [16:25] fardarter, fardarter, i think [16:25] fardarter, not the /home folder..... your home [16:25] ciao [16:25] ioria, here is the pastebin of the result:http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893473/ [16:25] ioria, oh, I see. === Comandante is now known as Ranius [16:26] ioria, same error.

[16:26] BlitzerHound, THere is a guest account from the login gui, and a live disc is what you probably installed with, both have differentials from the user desktop, the live especially, running on the hardware and the disc. [16:26] fardarter, ls -al of fardarter folder ? [16:27] wileee I installed ubuntu with a usb drive. So then I should login to the guest account? [16:27] ioria, you want to see? [16:27] fardarter, yep [16:27] wileee You might have do dumb it down a bit more, sorry. [16:27] BlitzerHound, Not sure I can that is really basic. [16:28] what to do you have to do to nvidia xorg or is it just Xorg (the config files) to make a 9600gt a dedicated gpu for physx? i have primary video out from my i7- cpu-gpu and in the nvidia settings manager i select the intel (power saving) or the nvidia (performance). right now im on intel and everthing looking right for that side except vsync is on somewhere [16:28] ioria, here we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893483/ [16:28] Comandante: Ciao.

[16:28] maybe another can, sorry [16:28] when i run glx gears i get 60fps and i would like to uncap that but not the main concern [16:28] wileee Um, alright then. :c [16:28] setting dedicated physx on the 9600gt is [16:28] fardarter, you are not in your home ..... cd /home/fardarter [16:29] can someone help me out with that? i think i have everything installed its just nvidia or Xorg config files i think [16:30] im on ubuntu 15.04 apt-get upgrade (cant rem if i ran dist-upgrade) amd 64 desktop [16:30] z97 chipset with i7 cpu-gpu (set as primary) and nvidia 313.113 updates for 9600gt (i believe) [16:30] ioria, see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893492/ [16:30] Is there anyone that can help me understand that thing that wileee said? [16:31] Hi there. Is it possible to instruct mountall to "block" the init process for a certain period of time before other service are started (which rely on the availability of certain mount points which sometimes are slow to appear)? If possible, I don't want to add a delay and a conditional restart of the services to rc.local [16:31] ioria, sorry, double paste. [16:31] fardarter, you rename it.... what's wrong ? don't you see .Xauthority_backup ? [16:31] when i go itno nvidia-settings i have a real small amount of options (since its using the nvidia control panel to direct video out to the intel cpu-gpu) which appears to work good [16:31] i think that little app is bbswitcher * [16:32] Yeah, I just did that now. [16:32] Where is the old one though? [16:32] ioria, yeah I just did that now. [16:32] ioria, where is the old one though? [16:32] ioria, OK, so from here, reboot, then what? === newbie is now known as Guest15914 [16:33] i gonna read on net but if someone kind of has some experience at what im trying to do it would be great. just say my nick say i can come back and read. thanks...been on this 3 days and this is as far as i have gotten [16:33] fardarter, it's the same ... in case you just : mv .Xauthorty_backup .Xauthority [16:33] fardarter, you reserve it... ok, now boot normally [16:34] fardarter, if you can't login, open a console ctrl-alt-f2 [16:34] ioria, how do I reserve it? [16:34] fardarter, mv .Xauthorty_backup .Xauthority [16:35] ioria, sorry, you meant reverse and I didn't understand. [16:35] Please can someone explain to me how to turn down my screen brightness while plugged in? [16:35] ioria, OK, let's see. bbiab. Thanks! [16:35] fardarter, ok [16:36] BlitzerHound what have you tried so far? [16:36] Settings > power options > then turned the brightness as low as possible. But when it's unplugged it gets darker.

[16:50] ioria2, the purple terminal one gets with ctrl, alt, T? [16:50] fardarter if you can't login... you can only open a console (terminal)... [16:50] ioria2, I *can* log in. [16:50] ioria2, but I get blank screens if I log in from a normal boot. [16:50] ok guys sorry for this but how do i check what version of ubuntu i installed ? 32 bit or 64 bit ? [16:51] anomonus2015: uname -p [16:51] ioria2, if I go through the recovery menu and take the top option, I end up with two screens that mirror each other. [16:51] anomonus2015, type uname -a, to see the kernel type [16:51] anomonus2015, uname -a [16:51] arch [16:51] fardarter i asked you to boot normally, and then open a console/terminal ...... [16:52] i686 ? [16:52] 64bit ? [16:52] 32 bit [16:52] ioria2, so I am chatting to you as if this was normal Ubuntu, but I have an exact mirror on my other screen (and also, I can't detect both screens in settings). [16:52] ioria2, I can do that, but then what must I do? [16:52] anomonus2015 type uname -pr [16:52] anomonus2015, you know what you installed. [16:52] ioria2, I don't know how to chat to you from console. [16:53] fardarter i see [16:53] OerHeks, no i dont :D ive forgotten [16:54] ioria2, I suspect (but am not sure) it is logging on OK, but not sending the right signals. [16:54] anomonus2015 what's the output of uname -pr [16:55] i686 [16:55] I think you guys have your hands full enough, I won't keep bothering you. Thanks again for trying to help with the power thingy! [16:55] fardarter don't you remember what you tweak before getting the ssue ? [16:55] MonkeyDust, thats 32bit ? [16:55] *i [16:56] anomonus2015: correct [16:56] thx guys [16:56] ioria2, there are two issues. 1 is that I can't seem to get more than 1 screen open at a time. For this issue, I did nothing that I can tell you about. I was in Windows (with 2 screens working), rebooted to Ubuntu, and couldn't get a second screen. [16:57] anomonus2015 yes, but it's not the full output of uname -pr so you're not following instructions [16:57] ioria2, the only screen that would work was the one with the taskbar. [16:57] ioria2, the other issue, the inability to log on at all, happened after I had played with some screen settings in the systems settings menus. [16:57] ioria2, I *think* I've just saved a bad setting somewhere along the line. [16:58] ioria2, now I need to figure out how to undo that, but then I need to figure out how the original problem can be solved. [16:59] fardarter so when you boot normally, you get the greeter , and when you enter passwd, the screen goes black ? [17:00] ioria2, yes. [17:00] ioria2, also, I get offered greeter in only 1 screen. [17:01] ioria2, normally i get offered in both screens. [17:01] ioria2, when I boot after recovery menu, I get offered in both screens as well. [17:01] fardarter for, now it's better to test with just one screen, i think [17:02] ioria2, agreed. I just think it may be related. [17:02] fardarter then, yu enable it again [17:02] ioria2, OK, but I can't access the settings anymore. [17:03] ioria2, when booting from recovery mode, I can only select "built-in display". [17:03] fardarter when you get the blank screen open a terminal , and type sudo service lightdm restart [17:03] ioria2, even though I have two (mirrored) screens operating. [17:03] ioria2, OK, let's see if it works. [17:03] Hi all. I'm having issues with realmd on 14.04 [17:04] fardarter after, we try nomodeset [17:04] realm join only gives me 'realm: Couldn't join realm: Failed to enroll machine in realm.

[17:41] you were modding configs is all [17:42] 'were' ? [17:42] wileee: the upgrade script handled that.

[17:47] Moonlightning, 3rd parties are not supported here unless that is all that works, the reason is basically, you are installing packages and "Dependencies" that may have issues on an upgrade, there is no magic answer on this. [17:48] ioria, there are some graphics anomolies. [17:48] fardarter, good, so the problem could be the video driver [17:48] upgreade or any instance really [17:48] ioria, OK, cool, thanks. [17:48] i have a chromebook . i have flashed new bios to allow for legacy boot. now im trying to install ubuntu 15.10 . all works except i get a hang installing (also in live mode) when scanning disks . mmcblk0rpmb timed out [17:48] ioria, I put nomodeset in just before "quiet splash" [17:49] i think the mmcblk0 has a part that uses auth to right to it [17:49] wileee: I don't see how third-party packages couldn't interfere with the upgrade process, though. I would rather not have to bother uninstalling all of them and then reinstalling them later. [17:49] write* [17:49] Dragonkeeper: 15.10 is not out yet and thus not supported in here.

Lost the upgrade script's controlling terminal, trying to recover now. [17:52] ioria, btw, what does flag -al do? [17:53] Moonlightning: how did you lose the terminal? [17:53] Moonlightning can you not backup and fresh install? [17:53] daftykins, You have an issue with were, can you explain. [17:53] MonkeyDust: would really rather not. [17:53] Moonlightning: what wileee is telling you is fact, you must remove PPAs before upgrades - this is in all ubuntu docs. [17:53] tgm4883: I pressed control-c [17:53] Moonlightning it's fastest, easiest and cleanest way [17:54] Moonlightning: well don't do that? [17:54] daftykins: i.e. comment them out from the source file? [17:54] tgm4883: I was editing a config file. Thought vim would catch it. :| [17:54] Moonlightning: no that's not how PPAs have worked for ages. [17:54] Still not sure why it /didn't./ [17:54] fardarter, a=all files l = long (descriptions) ...cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log ? [17:54] Moonlightning: you'd have to run ppapurge on them all [17:55] ioria, thanks. Cat? [17:55] Moonlightning, If it helps, you can set up a app list for installs and any repos and keys and just run it to get most anything you do or have done. [17:55] fardarter cat is a command ... (not an animal :-) ) cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log ? [17:57] ioria, what does it do? [17:57] daftykins: We've moved away from using /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d} for managing repositories used by the package manager? [17:57] fardarter just output [17:57] Hey room, is there any easy way to 0 wipe a drive partition [17:57] lotuspsychje: do you know if there is an irc channel for the maas stuff? [17:57] Not the entire disk, just one partition on it [17:57] !alis | bhundven [17:57] bhundven: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [17:57] gparted sideup66 [17:58] Bazhang and that can 0 wipe? === ochiotte1 is now known as ochiottes [17:58] you want some military level wipe or something? === bobby_ is now known as MABFEAETDDUP [17:59] No nothing crazy bazhang, just a 0wipe, mainly enough to get the drive to reallocate bad sector (spinrite takes ages to do it) [17:59] ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893894/ [17:59] ioria, but using gedit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893886/ === MABFEAETDDUP is now known as _bobby [18:00] <_bobby> What desktop is everyone using? [18:00] fardarter sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log you wrote /logs/ === h00k is now known as Captain_h00k [18:00] ioria, ta [18:00] _bobby, take poll s elsewhere [18:01] <_bobby> okay sorry [18:01] <_airc> Unity & openbox is my desktops of choice at the moment. [18:01] my desktop is a HP. [18:01] ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893903/ [18:01] oops [18:01] heh [18:02] lOl [18:02] <_airc> 👻 [18:03] Bazhang so that is the way to do a sectorby sector0 fill? That's basically all I need [18:03] fardarter looks ok for me ..... [18:03] when I click shutdown in the panels gear icon it displays a lock and logout option but not restart and shutdown [18:03] ioria, so what do we do next? [18:04] fardarter video driver === corey84__ is now known as Corey84 [18:04] sideup66, if you do that, bad sectors are going to be written as oke. you don't want that. [18:04] ioria, I did check. I'm using the recommended one (which is not the proprietary one, btw) [18:04] Moonlightning: you made it sound like there was only one file. [18:04] fardarter sudo lshw -c video [18:05] Oerherksso there is no fast way to force reallocation? [18:05] ioria, ok [18:05] anyone got an idea? [18:05] daftykins: there's a file and a directory that potentially contains more files. At least there was… [18:05] Well, there still is on my system. [18:06] ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893919/ [18:06] Moonlightning: yes, but the point is that PPAs are typically added on a per file basis in the folder sources.list.d/ [18:06] daftykins: That makes sense. It's much easier to do it programmatically that way. === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [18:07] so yeah, to upgrade... remove all PPA packages, PPAs, upgrade... then re-add if necessary [18:07] fardarter display UNCLAIMED ... now i don't remember if it's so becasue nomodeset is set ... or you really got an issue with your video card :-( [18:07] ioria, is display unclaimed an issue? [18:08] ioria, shall I reboot through recovery without nomodeset? [18:08] ioria: sounds more like a driver isn't loaded or X isn't running :) [18:08] fardarter listen to daftykins [18:08] daftykins, your input is welcome. [18:09] what's the task here? i've not been following [18:09] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893919/ he cannot login without nomodeset [18:10] daftykins, it's a little complex, so bear with me: I have two screens. Today I rebooted from Windows 7 to Ubuntu and was offered only one screen to log in at. [18:11] fardarter: sounds like you updated and fglrx broke [18:11] daftykins, I fiddled around in the high-level systems settings, and accidentally accepted a set of settings that left me unable to access my "main" screen. Since then, I've been unable to log in. [18:11] heh yeah that'll do it. [18:11] daftykins: what do I do about it? [18:12] daftykins: I mean the menu available from the cog in the top right. [18:12] well which driver are you using with this AMD card? [18:12] daftykins: (for me: lower-level = closer to circuit) [18:13] daftykins: Let me check. I'm using the one that Ubuntu says is recommended. [18:13] sideup66, You can tab complete nics [18:13] On phone wileee [18:14] sideup66, THan get them right if you want help [18:14] I feel like admiting, that I never played Skyrim more than 1 hour [18:14] daftykins: X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati [18:14] the other is not notified when wrong is all [18:14] :X [18:14] *t [18:14] daftykins: upgrade /how?/ I initially used the script; presumably I'm in some weird partially-upgraded state now. [18:14] * frank1e ducks [18:15] !tmi | frank1e [18:15] frank1e: Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [18:15] Moonlightning: well confirm that by "cat /etc/issue" and "lsb_release -d" then run a dist-upgrade and check all your sources refer to the correct distro version [18:15] woops wrong channel again. damn my irc client, sorry [18:15] daftykins: /correct/ being the new one? [18:15] fardarter: sudo apt update && sudo apt install pastebinit [18:16] fardarter: then: dpkg -l | grep fglrx | pastebinit [18:16] daftykins: /etc/issue and lsb_release reflect the new version. [18:16] Moonlightning: yes because you can't downgrade [18:16] daftykins: on it [18:18] daftykins: returned: You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. [18:19] when I click shutdown in the panels gear icon it displays a lock and logout option but not restart and shutdown [18:19] fardarter do you have pastebinit installed ? [18:19] daftykins: as does `/etc/apt/sources.list`. I take it the things on `sources.list.d` don't matter as they're disabled anyway. [18:19] alt+f2 then gksudo reboot [18:19] ryein, try it with the alt key down [18:19] ryein ^ [18:20] daftykins: isn't that what the first line did? [18:20] fardarter: ok good stuff, no other drivers present. "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" - use this so i can see the ownership of files within your home directory, but be aware that it's sharing it publically so if there's something unsavoury in there we'll know ;) [18:20] fardarter: well the first line should've installed pastebinit. [18:20] hlo [18:20] ryein, As well the restart shows on the gui that pops up on some desktops. [18:20] k.. [18:21] Moonlightning: because you disabled them in the GUI software and sources app? that's pointless if you have packages installed from them still === john is now known as Guest89381 [18:21] daftykins: You mean named in an unsavory way? [18:21] fang , ny1 working on..? [18:21] daftykins: What does pastebinit do? [18:21] fardarter: not where i'm from, no :) [18:21] fardarter: pastebins it... [18:21] daftykins: presumably the upgrade script disabled them along with changing the Utopic lines to Vivid. [18:21] daftykins: OK, so it is just text. [18:21] wileee: doesn't seem to change anything [18:22] fardarter: ja [18:22] hex__, You need assistance? [18:22] Moonlightning: maybe! so did you dist upgrade? [18:22] Moonlightning: as in right now run sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade [18:23] *apt = apt-get [18:23] ryein, how about the gui that pops up when you make a choice? Is this from the desktop or the login window, what ubuntu release and desktop would help. [18:23] daftykins: Here we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11893997/ [18:23] wileee: i am logged in [18:23] Got it, killdisk cleared it [18:23] Thanks anyway room [18:23] ryein, Read question carefully, I tend to have multiple issue. [18:24] fardarter: ok you have files owned by root, this is breaking your desktop session. run "sudo chown -R fardarter: ~/" to correct that, then reboot and don't use nomodeset [18:24] wileee: i am logged in and I click the shutdown menu item when i click the shutdown menu item it shows lock and logout which is wrong [18:24] daftykins: Is that still correct if I ran your ls command inside root? [18:25] daftykins: I.e. why do you need me to type sudo? [18:25] fardarter: as long as you're currently your user - yes [18:25] fardarter: why, are you in a recovery console right now? [18:25] daftykins: OK, running now. [18:25] daftykins: I don't access /home from my user. [18:26] daftykins: I've not that much experience. [18:26] hi guys,i did this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/362722/how-to-fix-splash-screen-in-all-ubuntu-releases [18:26] daftykins: I think I ran a noob set-up. [18:26] and only when i hold SHIFT button when booting, ubuntu loads [18:26] ryein, Maybe a pic would help in an imagebin, the description is hard to follow, and no desktop as of yet named, maybe I can tell from a pic. [18:26] fardarter: not sure what you mean, ~/ means /home/current-user/ [18:27] otherwise, a black screen with cursur shows and nothing... [18:27] daftykins: Maybe I'm confusing things: I can only access /etc from root user. [18:27] daftykins: That normal? [18:27] ppmind: when you hold shift what happens? [18:27] EriC^^: a text "GRUB loading..." shows [18:27] fardarter: we're not doing anything with /etc :) [18:27] EriC^^: and ubuntu splash screen [18:27] daftykins: OK, will run it now and reboot. [18:28] daftykins: bbiab [18:28] EriC^^: and system loads successfully, but when i don't hold SHIFT nothing happens [18:29] please help me [18:29] i can't hold SHIFT always i want to start my computer! [18:29] ppmind, Have you modified grub? [18:30] wileee: i do as the link said, first answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/362722/how-to-fix-splash-screen-in-all-ubuntu-releases [18:30] ppmind: you sure you disabled secureboot and fastboot? [18:30] lotuspsychje: i don't know what do you mean pal [18:30] daftykins: my terminal broke when I ran it (flashing cursor, no "root@fardarter-desktop:/home#" on the line). Will it reboot OK? Shouldn't it give me an output? [18:30] ppmind: is your system uefi? [18:30] ppmind: type cat /etc/default/grub | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:30] daftykins: dist-upgrade going now. It's gonna take a while. [18:31] ppmind try this sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth;sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [18:31] fardarter: oh so you are root@, that's probably not gonna work [18:31] ppmind it offers a choice [18:31] daftykins: I left off the sudo [18:32] daftykins: Should I log out of root? [18:32] daftykins: This is what I ran: "root@fardarter-desktop:/home# chown -R fardarter: ~/ [18:32] fardarter: repeat the command but change ~/ for /home/fardarter/ [18:32] " [18:32] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/vzyw [18:33] daftykins: bb2min [18:33] How much empty space should I've on a disk for android building[I allready have used 50gb ,and resized partion to 70gb for building]? [18:33] MonkeyDust: i did, choose 0 [18:33] hi all! im trying to create a dhcp server with a different subnet for each ethernet port i have. i followed this link: https://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/05/09/multiple-interface-dhcp-server-on-ubuntu-12-04lts/ However I am having two issues: (1) The server has internet access but the clients don't have it. (2) And I want the subnets to be able to communicate with each other. Do you have any suggestions? [18:33] MonkeyDust: but seems 0 already selected [18:33] lotuspsychje: i don't know, not sure [18:34] lotuspsychje: but i have only ubuntu installed and no grub shows (before i done anything(that link)), [18:34] cihhan: you probably don't have IP forwarding enabled and appropriate firewall rules [18:35] so i think it could be something with grub loading [18:35] ppmind: try sudo nano /etc/default/grub and put a # before GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT [18:35] daftykins: thanks for your reply. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward seems to have 1 [18:35] then set GRUB_TIMEOUT=1 [18:36] ppmind, run that command EriC^^ is giving you. [18:36] cihhan: ping each point from clients then see where in the chain it fails, they won't have internet access if your router is unaware that a subnet exists behind the system you speak of - the subnet won't be in its' routing table [18:36] cihhan: ##networking might be more relevant [18:36] ppmind: it'll show for 1 sec without holding shift so i guess it should work, not sure what's going with your pc i think if grub isn't showing it somehow isn't keeping the payload for the kernel when it boots [18:36] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/gvz8 [18:36] ppmind: ok, run sudo update-grub [18:37] daftykins: actually i see that even though the client has a valid IP, the ping doesnt show anything. [18:37] ppmind, You can hit the escape key in the boot to get a text boot and see what it says [18:37] ^ good idea [18:37] EriC^^: now i can restart?? [18:37] ppmind: yeah [18:37] ppmind or F12 for text boot [18:37] thank you all [18:38] i will come back(if system up lol) and report! ;) [18:39] wileee: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rp9nwadevtk29gd/Screenshot%20from%202015-07-17%2011%3A29%3A16.png?dl=0 [18:41] Hi guys - would somebody be able to help me determine the cause of my machine crashing, and then perhaps help me in finding a resolution? It happens "randomly" when I am using the machine. I could be trying to install something with apt-get, or editing a file in nano, or browsing the internet, ther doesn't seem to be one direct cause. [18:41] EriC^^: thanks, it worked! [18:41] daftykins: I keep seeing this line, and it's worrying me. [18:41] > /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: 1: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: /sbin/runlevel: not found [18:41] Anthaas what have you tried so far? [18:41] Moonlightning: ubuntu doesn't use runlevels so it almost seems like you've created a frankenbuntu [18:42] ppmind: no problem, can you type cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:42] you might be able to have it not show at all and still work [18:42] MonkeyDust: Repeated use hoping it doesn't come back haha - Im not really great in trying to resolve Ubuntu errors. Its a personal machine Im using to learn things on. I've only just set the thing up though. [18:42] daftykins: it still /has/ them, though, right? [18:42] Basically put, I dont know what to try. [18:43] Moonlightning: *shrug* [18:43] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/dpq7 [18:43] Anthaas we have to know where to start... provide more details, the ubuntu version etc [18:43] daftykins: Ok, I ran the changed command and got "chown: changing ownership of ‘/home/fardarter/.gvfs’: Function not implemented" returned [18:43] guys is 14.10 better than 14.04? [18:44] !14.10 | anomonus2015 [18:44] anomonus2015: Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn) was the 21st release of Ubuntu. Support for this release will end in July 2015. For more info see !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/utopic [18:44] anomonus2015 "better" is subjective, 14.04 is LTS [18:44] MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop Version. I dont really know what else to provide in terms of more details - I dont really know exactly what is causing it to happen. [18:44] ryein, Strange what account is this, and are others open? [18:44] oh, 14.10 eol alrready? wasnt aware [18:44] wileee: its my account and nope just one account [18:44] When i log in, i see 4 "System program problem detected" windows shows up, and it always happen. what can i do to remove them? [18:44] Anthaas hate to do this but... [18:44] eol? [18:44] MonkeyDust: I have just tried using it normally - all I have done is install LAMP, phpmyadmin, and set up an SSL certificate. [18:44] ryein, THat the unity desktop? [18:44] !details | Anthaas [18:44] Anthaas: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [18:44] daftykins: Shall I reboot now? [18:45] But it crashed several times doing that. Are there any log files I can go to for information regarding the crashes, MonkeyDust? [18:45] wileee: ya fresh ubuntu 15.04 [18:45] anomonus2015: end of life [18:46] so upgrading to 14.10 is a waste of time [18:46] ppmind: you can check what they're about and send an error report, or you can disable error reporting and they won't show up anymore [18:46] EriC^^: how to disable error reporting? i removed whoopsie [18:46] ryein, Not sure, I have not used unity for awhile, however I remember there being a key press to see all options, not sure if changed. [18:46] ppmind: nah keep whoopsie if you want [18:46] EriC^^: but these messages still come [18:46] ppmind: open the dash and type xdiagnose [18:47] anomonus2015: ubuntu 14.04 would be a good choice to install [18:47] 15.04 lts ? [18:47] i have 14.04 [18:47] ryein, I assume you have tried both options and no restart or shutoff shows. [18:47] im on it now [18:47] anomonus2015: then enjoy it [18:47] Anthaas define "crash"... does it freez? black screen? what are the symptoms? [18:47] wy would `sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/*.log` tell me that it cannot option /var/log/nginx/*.log for reading: no sch file or dir? There is a access.log and error.log in there [18:47] EriC^^: thanks [18:48] does ubuntu * work differently than redhat [18:48] Anthaas are you connecting with wifi or with cable, is a laptop or a desktop? [18:48] ppmind: np [18:48] EriC^^: can i ask you one thing more?! ^_^ [18:48] wileee: i tried clicking alt [18:48] yeah [18:49] MonkeyDust: Completely unresponsive. Keyboard input does nothing. Mouse moves, but clicks are not effective and then that even stops. The only way I can get the machine to do anything is the alt-sysreq - REISUB way of restarting. It is a desktop, and I am connecting with a cable. === it is now known as Guest64628 [18:49] clear [18:49] dir [18:49] clear [18:49] dir [18:49] EriC^^: in terminal, basically when you hit TAB you see some suggestions or auto-complete feature bash has (or any other terminal). but after the word sude this feature does not work [18:49] ... >.> sup [18:49] EriC^^: and it only happens with my desktop version [18:50] ppmind: if you type sudo cd / and hit tab you don't get a list of dirs? [18:50] daftykins: no luck with the reboot [18:50] cluelessperson sup is not question...it's not even a word [18:50] Anthaas when did it start behaving that way? after an upgrade? after installing some program? [18:51] MonkeyDust: Almost straight away - I installed 14.04 fresh recently. [18:51] It used to be a Windows machine. [18:51] ppmind: or sudo ls / [18:51] EriC^^: i get, but [18:51] EriC^^: sudo apt-get install lib [18:51] 14.04 is the only OS on this machine. [18:51] EriC^^: tab does not work here [18:51] EriC^^: for suggesting package names [18:51] Anthaas: what about before you installed 14.04. Did windows run well? [18:52] ppmind: does apt-get install lib work? [18:52] Loshki: Bluescreened once or twice, but nothing abnormal... [18:52] ppmind: there's a *huge* number of package names starting with `lib` by the way - tab suggestion won't help you there [18:52] EriC^^: no [18:52] Throughout its entire life that is... [18:52] teward: i know, it's an example [18:52] ppmind: must be something with apt that's broke i think [18:52] teward: i mean, it wont suggest anything [18:52] BluesKaj: Technically language is ever shifting and depends on entirely the symbols people construct. Sup is definitely a word. :P [18:52] Anthaas, You checked if your swapping? [18:53] I don't know what that means? [18:53] BluesKaj: https://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+sup [18:53] !swap | anth0ny [18:53] anth0ny: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:53] ppmind: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall bash-completion [18:53] BluesKaj: egads! They don't have the proper popularly used definition! [18:54] BluesKaj: but it IS a word. ;) [18:54] The only programs running are services, or terminal and the task I am currently doing - a swap wouldnt cause such a system failure, would it? [18:54] cluelessperson, maybe for you it mean's what's up , in old english it used to mean to eat supper :-) [18:54] cluelessperson: That's because youre spelling it wrong. [18:54] Anthaas, swapping is when you start to use the swap partition, if you are not SSD it will really slow down the computer and seem like a crash. [18:54] good to know, but that was probably meant for someone else [18:54] !swap | Anthaas [18:54] Anthaas: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:54] anth0ny, THanks sorry about that. [18:54] Ahhhh, wileee - it stays in this state for a very long time (before I restart) [18:54] Anthaas: Probably not. [18:54] EriC^^: i did, but still apt is the same [18:54] fardarter: so what happens exactly? [18:55] EriC^^: as you said, something with apt is wrong [18:55] fardarter: and only one screen is connected, yes? [18:55] cluelessperson, so in the supper context yes it's a word [18:55] Anthaas: you can use top or iostat to see if it's swapping, and/or tell us how much ram you have. [18:55] EriC^^: is it possible to reconfigure apt? [18:55] Anthaas, I am just giving you an option to check, time has no factor of you loading up to hit swapping, lets not get stuck here, just an option. [18:55] Anthaas I picked this up in this channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894164/ [18:55] try sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt maybe [18:55] if you're* [18:55] daftykins: Btw, "http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894161/" returns: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894161/ [18:55] So, I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what. I've setup HTTP to redirect to HTTPS via rewrite. My browser reports an SSL connection error, but I don't see anything in the logs. I'm not sure what the hell is going on [18:56] daftykins: If that means anything to you. [18:56] Anthaas: Time-based failures are often thermal-related. [18:56] daftykins: Ok, right now I have two screens. [18:56] Greetings. [18:56] fardarter: can i see an "lspci" ? (pastebin it, or "lspci | pastebinit) [18:56] Sorry to intrude, but I've recently installed Ubuntu Server 14.04 on a new box. [18:56] And I noticed something rather odd. [18:56] jhutchins_wk: You think my CPU is overheating? [18:56] daftykins: However, they are mirrored and the only setting I can access is "built-in display". [18:56] Anthaas, YOU might get a conky that shows temperatures use and swap to watch. [18:56] Vercas: shoot your issue mate [18:56] The CPUs run at slightly over half their frequency. [18:56] MonkeyDust: Ill give that a run [18:57] Vercas spare the enter key, it's easier to read and repeat === Blaster is now known as Guest21114 [18:57] Alright. [18:58] daftykins: (http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894176/ [18:58] ) This is what I get when I boot through recovery. On normal boot, my splash screen offers only one active screen, with a login, and both screens go black after putting in my pass. [18:58] fardarter: so you are seeing the login screen? [18:58] EriC^^: i found this, currently installing ... http://askubuntu.com/questions/133086/bash-tab-auto-complete-not-working-for-apt [18:58] fardarter: graphical one [18:58] hope works [18:58] daftykins: I think I had that awhile back. What kind of gpu you have by chance, if any? [18:58] daftykins: (http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894176/ ) This is what I get when I boot through recovery. On normal boot, my splash screen offers only one active screen, with a login, and both screens go black after putting in my pass. [18:58] fardarter: A good thing to check in those cases it to create a new user and see if that user has the same problem. [18:58] So, my 8-threaded 3.4 GHz Xenon runs at 1.8 GHz. I know this is some policy that I can change, and I did it before, but I've been unable to find how this time. [18:59] Xeon* [18:59] daftykins: yeah, graphical user login. [18:59] daftykins: the purple one. [18:59] Vercas: cpufreq [18:59] jhutchins_wk: Maybe that's the next step. [18:59] jhutchins_wk: I'll look that up. :D [19:00] fardarter: "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [19:00] fardarter: If it's a personal setting or a corrupt home file that'll indicate. [19:00] Vercas: I think that's what you're looking for. [19:00] jhutchins_wk: It definitely is. I'm looking up how to change the policy/governor or whatever it's called. [19:00] hello [19:00] Vercas: I'm not sure if there are settings in gnome that might affect it. [19:01] Help in spanish, please? [19:01] jhutchins_wk: I have no GUI. Pure Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation. [19:01] !es [19:01] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [19:01] Thanks [19:01] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894204/ [19:01] MonkeyDust: I ran that script, I'll just go ahead with normal use and see if it happens again [19:01] fardarter: you need to boot without nomodeset [19:01] ppmind: does sudo wg work and show you wget? [19:01] jhutchins_wk: This is a relatively clean install, so I'd be really annoyed if it was that. [19:01] daftykins: is it in the boot? [19:02] EriC^^: no [19:02] fardarter: yep kernel boot parameters [19:02] ppmind: try typing . /etc/bash_completion [19:02] daftykins: I thought it wasn't supposed to stay past a single boot. [19:02] But the more important question is, should I even change this? I've noticed the frequency steps up when it needs to. I don't think this thing would be included by default if it did not help in some way. [19:02] daftykins: OK, brb [19:02] bash: /etc/bash_completion.d/: Is a directory [19:02] jhutchins_wk: already on it so new user is a red herring at this point ;) [19:03] issue is system wide drivers [19:03] ppmind: . /etc/bash_completion [19:03] EriC^^: yeah [19:03] EriC^^: solved [19:04] it worked? [19:04] EriC^^: yeah :) [19:04] EriC^^: what '.' do ? [19:04] maybe it's missing in .bashrc [19:04] hi, I'm trying to make a print server, but it seems that I have unmet dependencies, would it be wise to choose option 3 considering all of those unmet deps are virtual packages? http://kpaste.net/a0d4c3 [19:04] AppAraat: did you add any ppa's? [19:04] EriC^^: ~/.bashrc [19:04] EriC^^: ? [19:04] daftykins: Sounds like you got it. [19:05] ppmind: this is my .bashrc http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894227/ [19:05] lotuspsychje: at install time I said to have from universe and multiverse I think. [19:05] EriC^^: i don't have this file, i checked :| [19:05] ppmind: yeah [19:05] Vercas: Um, so, what's the problem? Variable speed CPU is a good thing. [19:05] ppmind: oh, you should! [19:05] lotuspsychje: but further than that, vanilla. [19:05] ppmind: do you have a ~/.profile ? [19:05] lotuspsychje: (does ubuntu extras count as a PPA) ? [19:05] EriC^^: no [19:05] you also should [19:05] EriC^^: i created the .bashrc [19:06] EriC^^: it's almost a fresh install [19:06] ppmind: it's default [19:06] EriC^^: and i didn't change these files [19:06] jhutchins_wk: My previous server had a shitty CPU - 8 Atom cores. The difference between this default governor and one that just maxed it out were quite extreme. [19:06] AppAraat: wich ubuntu version did you have? [19:06] ppmind: type cp /etc/skel/.* ~/ [19:06] 14.04.2 [19:06] daftykins: couldn't find it in the bootup, but I suspect that is because whatever I sent you earlier was from my current boot, which went through recovery. [19:06] lotuspsychje: ^ [19:06] daftykins: My current boot isn't my usual boot. [19:07] fardarter: ah, so you haven't tried normal boot? [19:07] AppAraat: you sure you didnt add python stuff in the past with ppa? [19:07] daftykins: I have. I can't get it to start anymore. [19:07] daftykins: It did when the issue first cropped up. [19:07] fardarter: ok boot that, test the guest session [19:07] jhutchins_wk: I'll admit my current server is way too powerful. Even at this reduced frequency, it's smooth enough for byobu, vim and everything else I'm running. [19:07] daftykins: How do I test guest session? [19:07] EriC^^: now i have :) thanks [19:07] ppmind: no problem :) [19:07] daftykins: Sorry, I'm a n00b. [19:07] AppAraat: check your repos perhaps? [19:08] fardarter: look for it on the login screen ;) [19:08] daftykins: OK. So normal login then guest? [19:08] AppAraat: or sudo apt-get update and try again [19:08] daftykins: brb [19:09] lotuspsychje: absolutely sure. This is a pretty fresh install. Is it bad if I choose 3? I'll give you my /etc/apt/sources.list - http://apaste.info/Frs [19:09] wileee: i fixed it with dconf editor [19:09] lotuspsychje: nothing is sources.list.d/ [19:10] ryein, Good. === jesper is now known as Sewerrat [19:12] Hi there. Is it possible to instruct mountall to "block" the init process for a certain period of time before other service are started (which rely on the availability of certain mount points which sometimes are slow to appear)? If possible, I don't want to add a delay and a conditional restart of the services to rc.local [19:13] daftykins: OK, I get guest loaded up on one screen. [19:14] daftykins: It looks the same situation I was trying to resolve to begin with. [19:14] which was? === chad_ is now known as cha-do [19:14] daftykins: See getting back to those settings looks like half the issue solved. [19:14] daftykins: Not being able to have dual monitors working. [19:15] ok well baby steps, for now [19:15] daftykins: I can only seem to get one monitor at a time (and it isn't always the main one). [19:15] fardarter: there's no point trying to work on that when you can't even log in ;) [19:15] daftykins: *nods* OK, what's nexT? [19:15] fardarter: hit ctrl+alt+F1, then log in as your user and show me a fresh "ls -al ~/ | pastebinit" [19:15] AppAraat: try sudo apt-get update and reboot perhaps === frank1e is now known as dank1e [19:16] I tried update, but not reboot yet. [19:17] AppAraat: not sure whats causing this on fresh install [19:17] Any security researcher/ [19:17] ?* [19:18] andrew_: not on topic [19:18] andrew_: #ubuntu-hardened [19:18] lotuspsychje: it's a minimal install. Not sure if that matters. I chose "Print server" and "Samba server" during install. [19:18] kk ty [19:18] @andrew are u asking about OS security? [19:18] daftykins: How do I get the tilde and bar in that console? [19:19] fardarter: well i don't know where in the world you are to know what your keyboard looks like ;) [19:19] AppAraat: maybe print server fights with hplip, not sure i never tested minimal [19:19] daftykins: I'm using US style Qwerty, I think. [19:20] daftykins: What set-up would be automatic in the console? [19:20] lotuspsychje: I honestly assumed print server to have installed hplip, as it is a pretty essential part in printing. A large part of it is closed source, but I specifically told installer to install closed source stuff. [19:20] fardarter: i think shift+left of the number '1' for tilde [19:20] fardarter: pipe above enter? [19:20] AppAraat: hplip is the hp managing tool for linux [19:20] daftykins: That would be my normal one. [19:21] daftykins: My pipe is left of enter on keys. [19:21] normal one? i have no idea what you mean [19:21] daftykins: Ugh, brb. [19:21] daftykins: Gonna see if I can find a solution.\ [19:22] lotuspsychje: I need those to have full printing functionality for HP printers, right? The printserver I'm configuring is simply headless and windows machines will talk to that server if they want to print something. It will also be connected to the HP P1102 printer. Do I still need hplip for this purpose? [19:25] daftykins: this is so annoying.... [19:25] fardarter: where did we get to? [19:25] got that pastebin yet? [19:25] daftykins: I can't find a vertical bar. [19:26] hey guys anyone know how to change the background in ubuntu 14.04 login screen ? [19:26] daftykins: Can't pastebin without the bar. [19:26] daftykins: no? [19:26] anomonus2015: background changes for the user [19:26] fardarter: well just do "ls -al ~/ > ~/paste" then "pastebinit ~/paste" [19:27] no more pipe [19:27] daftykins: OK [19:29] okay hello who use telegram [19:29] wzjke: what's that? [19:29] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894345/ [19:29] anomonus: try this how to geek article [19:29] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/45315/how-to-change-the-ubuntu-linux-login-screen/ [19:30] SchrodingersScat: telegram.org [19:30] lotuspsychje, :/ whan i turn on the computer it has a orange purple background with white dots. id like to replace this with something dark [19:31] fardarter: ok so as you, not root... "sudo chown -R fardarter: /home/fardarter/" [19:31] anomous: is it the login screen, or the first boot screen [19:32] its the login screen not grub [19:32] or the ububtu ...... screen [19:33] its like a folded sheet of papaer and each triangle is a diferent shade of orange or purple [19:33] wzjke: were you having a problem? [19:33] its the greeter scren [19:33] anomonus2015: that's the plymouth theme [19:34] SchrodingersScat: i dont have problem [19:34] daftykins, i want rid its pants [19:34] daftykins: Does it normally take a few minutes? [19:34] anomonus2015: you can textboot with editing grub to "quiet splash" set to "" [19:34] fardarter: nope, though maybe you have a lot of data and use encryption. [19:34] what will that do ? [19:35] anomonus2015: well that's your opinion :) [19:35] anomonus2015: remove the loading screen, and replace it with text boot dark with white text [19:35] lotuspsychje, so how do i do that ? [19:35] daftykins: I do use encryption, but I don't have that much data. [19:35] fardarter: *shrug* should be pretty quick really. [19:36] daftykins: OK, I the command didn't generate an output. I just have an open command line again. [19:36] ahh wait i se [19:36] !grub | anomonus2015 edit grub [19:36] anomonus2015 edit grub: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[19:38] i typo'd. [19:38] lemme know if thats the right thing [19:38] fardarter: ok give me a "pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors" [19:39] daftykins: Can I not do this from the terminal? [19:39] fardarter: wat... that's a terminal command. [19:39] daftykins: ctrl alt T, not ctrl alt f1 [19:39] Hello, is therre a channel for mint ?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [19:43] (and other info as well ) ? [19:43] paul424: lotuspsychje: that would only show ones in fstab. He probably wants 'blkid' [19:43] ok guys a need a cooool and dark login image. something sick. any suggestions ? [19:43] !uuid | paul424 [19:43] paul424: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [19:44] ok thansk === kkinetic_ is now known as kkinetic [19:44] daftykins: Any ideas? [19:45] Hi all, Is it correct that in standby mode S3 (suspend to RAM), the on-board LAN - port should have it's LED on (i.e. periodic flashing LED's) ? I've enable WoL on the board (a AMD 8 core board), but when PC goes into S3, then the LAN port seems to be switched off and it doesn't react to WoL. [19:45] anomonus2015: #ubuntu-offtopic probably has some great suggestions. [19:45] Fred1283, AFAIK you need S4 for that ? [19:45] anomonus2015: when you logged out, did it not give you a tab that said 'background'? [19:45] Fred1283: that sounds like a bios/uefi setting [19:46] up until now it did work fine and I didn't change something in the Bios [19:46] it certainly did work with S3, I'm sure [19:47] i dint try it hamstercups [19:48] lotuspsychje: still the same deal - http://kpaste.net/a0d4c3 [19:48] what do you think about the LED? Should it be switched on when it's in S3? [19:48] maybe the maintainers somehow accidentally messed up the deps? Should I file a bug? [19:48] Fred1283: not sure [19:48] the LAN-port LEDs... [19:52] AppAraat: might be a minimal issue, not sure mate can you try a liveusb ubuntu desktop perhaps? [19:53] ah that's pretty problematic, mousepad doesn't work on the netbook and I don't have a spare :( [19:53] fardarter: sorry was getting cooking started, one sec [19:54] what does this actually mean then? libsane-hpaio recommends hplip (= 3.14.3-0ubuntu3.2) [19:54] fardarter: "pastebinit ~/.Xauthority" [19:54] AppAraat, It means that you need an extra parameter in your startup [19:54] daftykins: Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894463/ [19:55] brothersome: oh, what do you mean? [19:55] why is the mysql-server package refusing to configure during installation? [19:56] AppAraat, I have a toshiba Laptop with that old poke and it only works with a parameter in the startup line of the kernel - in Ubuntu it in the XX-.... file for grub [19:56] postmodern, share the terminal output [19:56] brothersome: oh you mean the mouse? No it's really a hardware problem. I broke it lol :p [19:57] daftykins: Okay, dist-upgrade finished. Now what? [19:57] Moonlightning: reboot [19:57] tgm4883: thanks anyways. [19:57] * brothersome remembering how nurses are working with hardware, :-) [19:57] fardarter: click the dash icon top left (if you have it?) and type in "additional drivers" slowly, it should offer the program [19:58] pbx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894482/ [19:58] daftykins: Is that it? [19:58] daftykins: I don't have dash. I do have a search though. Found "additional drivers". This also in the System Settings? [20:04] fardarter: tell you what try another normal boot without nomodeset in first, when you boot it - run "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" to show me what's happening in the non-working session [20:04] will a 980 run well with ubuntu or are there tons of issues like AMD? [20:05] ryein: I have no issues with mine. [20:05] ryein: be fine, but if you want to play games they'd still live best on Windows i think really :P [20:05] daftykins: Where do I run the command? [20:05] fardarter: ctrl+alt+F1 if you get no working GUI [20:05] no point buying expensive hardware then hamstringing it with an OS that may not love games so much [20:06] daftykins: OK. Give me a little bit. Need to finish some other work up. [20:06] fardarter: np, i'm gonna be eating soon so i'll be a while [20:06] daftykins: Thanks for all the help. Will be back soon.

[20:09] postmodern, i don't know, but if it were me i'd try to find out what "dangling symlink" means and whether it might be the problem [20:09] ryein: what type of issues? [20:09] hi [20:10] hey any body - help! who can say me - where i can do this - " I need create something REALLY NEW in this world, not computer, not car, nor telephone, not robot ! my goal greate something new like Quantum / Quantum world" Any body please help me find place for me!

[20:12] nicomachus: black screens, google chrome flashing, running extra hot [20:13] ryein: hmm... using the OS driver or the proprietary? [20:16] ryein: I ask because the Catalyst 14.1 driver was supposed to kill most of the r9 290's issues. and the OS radeon driver has never given me issues (except for once... but it was half my fault) [20:17] Catalyst 14.4, not 14.1* [20:18] ^^ [20:18] why does this room show up as ubuntu-unregged ? [20:19] cryptodan_laptop: it doesnt. #ubuntu-unregged is just the fallback channel if you can only allow registered users due to trolls or hacker attacking this channel [20:19] *if we [20:21] cracker* [20:23] guys what is dconf-editor ?

[20:26] !sudo | anomonus2015 [20:26] anomonus2015: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [20:27] lotuspsychje, i know what sudo does and why but i thought gksudo was less prone to error and possiabally more secure [20:27] ? [20:29] could someone tell me how much memory Xorg is taking up on your machine right now? Mine is a 216 Megs and it looks kind of high to me. [20:31] maybe i should run 14.04 instead of 15.04 [20:32] ryein: LTS is in many cases a nice choice [20:32] ryein yes, 14.04 is LTS [20:32] . [20:34] anyone know why mysql-server is not properly configuring? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11894736/ [20:35] lotuspsychje, in that tutorial i linked you too it says i shoukld switch to user lightdim but when i try it returns no password set ? [20:36] No Passwd entry for user lightdm ? [20:36] fardarter: still no login? [20:36] daftykins: Correct. [20:37] daftykins: See the logs? [20:38] fardarter: yep, looks like it initialises screen 2 fine in the server - so i think we'll just do a drastic shotgun approach to restore your user session, i think something is wrong in the configs [20:38] fardarter: in a terminal as your user, "mv ~/.config ~/.configold" then reboot and boot as normal without "nomodeset" [20:38] daftykins: I hope that doesn't involve shooting my PC> [20:38] :D [20:39] can someone help me out ? [20:39] anomonus2015: what's up exactly? [20:40] well im following this web fix [20:40] So I can log in using the GUI on my system, but nothing really happens after that. I see the wallpaper, but I don't get a menu bar or an application launcher or anything. Pressing the super key (which normally triggers the search feature), /holding/ the super key (which normally shows the keyboard-shortcut cheatsheet), and meta-tab all do nothing. How do I troubleshoot this? [20:40] http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/ubuntu-14-04-change-login-screen-background-remove-the-white-dots/ [20:41] I've tried reinstalling lightdm and unity—nothing changed. [20:41] daftykins: OK, logged on as my user again [20:41] daftykins: All my settings are gone tho. [20:41] fardarter: yep that's what made it drastic, but it's all good now huh? both screens up? [20:42] daftykins: No, just one screen. [20:42] now at the point where i enter su lightdm -s /bin/bash i get the message in terminal No Passwd for user Lightdm [20:42] daftykins: But I didn't have to go through recovery. [20:43] daftykins: I am *detecting* the two screens though. [20:43] fardarter: ok, open a file manager and enable hidden file showing then copy applications you actually use one at a time when you use them from .configold to .config to get those parts back [20:43] so i need to be that user before running dconf-editor or not and am i missing something or is the guide incorrect [20:43] fardarter: what does the monitor settings program look like? you can post screenshots [20:44] daftykins: 2 min [20:45] anomonus2015, only the 1st user has sudo priv. [20:45] anomonus2015: are you root@ whilst following this guide? [20:45] yes [20:46] anomonus2015: and what was wrong with the text mode suggestion? :> [20:46] text mode suggestion. dont think i understood it [20:47] think of me as a child and your the parent [20:47] tell it to tie its shoe laces. dosnt happen . you need to show it how to do it [20:47] in that case go to bed with no dessert [20:47] also, add 'text' instead of 'splash' to avoid plymouth entirely [20:47] (on kernel boot parameters) [20:47] i want my own background [20:48] but why is this not working what im following ? [20:48] i'm gonna have to duck out of this one then 'cause i don't really care for aesthetic queries [20:48] daftykins: Had to restart because I put the fucking menu on the blank screen. [20:48] daftykins: 2 secs [20:48] is ubuntu reallyl buggy or is it the software or just people that dont know what they are doing ? it sems EVERYTHING is a struggle to do [20:48] !language [20:48] The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [20:49] all im wanting to do is change the boot screen background [20:49] fardarter: no rudes in here please! [20:49] i dont mind rudes [20:49] daftykins: Sorry, thought we were adults. [20:50] swaer wrds are open to interpretation [20:50] lol [20:50] daftykins: Anyway, not struggling to open browser in current screen. [20:50] fardarter: there might be all kinds of users in here [20:50] anomonus2015: drop the chatter please :) [20:50] I'm 7. [20:50] so kids dont swear ? [20:50] what really ? [20:50] !ot > anomonus2015 [20:50] anomonus2015, please see my private message === ochorocho1 is now known as ochorocho [20:51] anomonus2015: are you still in the root shell from step #2? `su` doesn't require the password of the target user if run by root. [20:52] moonlighting the terminal comes back with 'No Paswrd entry for user 'lightdm' [20:52] Why are you trying to be the lightdm user? [20:52] it's in the guide. [20:52] Ah. [20:52] after entering 'su lightdm -s /bin/bash' as the root [20:53] daftykins: This took weirdly long: http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2015-07-17_22_47_07-lmoqWcZF.png [20:54] anomonus2015: dunno what to tell you; it works for me. My guess is that you aren't actually root. :P [20:55] fardarter: looks like they're both up fine to me then? [20:56] daftykins: Yeah, but only one screen is actually displaying. So, for example, I only see the screen with the menu. [20:56] daftykins: For reference, the 27" is supposed to be on the right. [20:56] Moonlightning, it says root@nameofcomputer [20:57] before the command prompt [20:58] fardarter: could it be as simple as the display being on the wrong input? [20:58] daftykins: Which setting do you mean? [20:58] the physical buttons on the monitor itself [20:59] being on e.g. VGA instead of DVI, or VGA instead of HDMI... that kinda thing [20:59] daftykins: Oh, shouldn't be. If I disable the 23" I can get the 27" to display fine. === john is now known as Guest32463 [21:00] daftykins: I can't see why it would work if I set it as the only screen then. [21:00] fardarter: probably an open source driver issue then, you may have to install fglrx from AMD - the proprietary graphics driver. did you say no other was offered? i forget [21:00] anomonus2015: as an alternative, you can exit to your shell and use `sudo -iu lightdm` to get a login as lightdm. [21:00] daftykins: I can access that, I think. Let me try. [21:01] daftykins: should i use the flgrx or the fglrx-updates? [21:02] fardarter: mmm, try -updates first [21:02] daftykins: This could take a while... [21:02] Moonlightning, ok thx now im getting Command deconf-editor from package Dconf-Editor (universe) deconf-editor : Command not found [21:03] this is after typing in deconf-editor at the command prompt [21:03] Perhaps you want to install that package? [21:05] LoLz, deconf-editor does not exist, dconf-editor maybe? === Blaster is now known as Guest50013 [21:10] Question about SSH restriction, is this safe? http://solderintheveins.co.uk/2011/03/ubuntu-sftp-only-account-how-to/ [21:11] hi === look is now known as Guest52910 [21:11] hii [21:12] moonlighting i did install it. now im at step 5 ans simply want to run it [21:13] hii [21:13] lo [21:14] daftykins: restarted and now have both screens. :) [21:14] wierd. now it works. every stage i had issues with worked the ssecond or third time i entered the command [21:14] fardarter: \o/ [21:14] daftykins: How do I get my config backnow? [21:14] i dont understand [21:14] daftykins: Indeed! [21:14] daftykins: :) [21:14] fardarter: same as i said earlier, just copy programs you actually want from ~/.configold to ~/.config - *not* everything though [21:15] so e.g. .mozilla in there for firefox, yada yada [21:15] daftykins: Is there just a list? [21:15] daftykins: Let me look at the file. [21:15] it's a folder of folders [21:15] im hoping someone can help me out. after an apt-get autoremove which removed what i thought were unneeded old kernel libraries i cant boot. i get "error: invalid video mode specification `text'. Booting in blind mode'. ive tried googling and all i can find is suggestions to reinstall grub, but ive tried that and i still get the same thing [21:16] booted latop, get login screen, log in, instead of tool bar on the left and status bar on top, I get just a desktop image and a folder called thumbnails. c-a-t does not launch a terminal like it normally does. [21:16] daftykins: Should I do this in the GUI? [21:16] CarlFK: test the guest session works fine [21:16] when I log in as guest, I get the toolbar/status bar. [21:16] daftykins: Nautilus? [21:16] daftykins: good idea :) [21:16] fardarter: sure, as i say you'll need to enable hidden files. [21:17] Guest___: what are you typing from now? [21:17] daftykins: a different computer [21:17] Guest___: can you boot a live session? [21:18] ok guys how do i copy a jpg into usr/share/backgrounds folder ? copy works but paste doesnt ? [21:18] daftykins: yeah im sure i can. i can also get in to the recovery console [21:18] anomonus2015, you need sudo fot copying outside your /home/ folder, linux basics [21:19] fot-for [21:19] anomonus2015: That folder is a system folder and so you need admin rights to put stuff there [21:19] Guest___: you could chroot from a live session, get the machine online then reinstall a kernel / check your configs - it sounds like the 'text' kernel boot parameter has been put in the wrong place or something like that [21:19] anomonus2015: sudo cp /wherever/jpgs/are /usr/share/backgrounds [21:19] meh so how do i grant myself admin rights in the gui ? [21:19] hey everyone, Could anyone please help me install java and flash? [21:20] daftykins: ok how would i do that [21:20] flash is dead [21:20] genii thx man but is there a way in the gui ? [21:20] java then please :) [21:20] Guest___: you could come back on here once you've booted into a live session from a flash drive [21:20] yea mozila is automatically stoping flash now [21:20] openJDK is in the repo's, for oracle java see !java [21:20] !java [21:20] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [21:20] ok ill do that now [21:20] anomonus2015: The other way is to run nautilus with admin rights by: gksu nautilus [21:20] what's the easiest way to install chrome? [21:21] is flash just too full of security holes or ocsolete for another reason ? [21:21] awesomess3, just get the deb from the google site, it istalls the repo & key [21:21] genii ok thx [21:21] anomonus2015, i just say flash is dead as there are too many issues. maybe solvable, but not worth my time. [21:22] daftykins: does it matter if the live session is an older version of ubuntu. i have a 14.10 disk right here but the machine im trying to fix is 15.04 [21:23] does any one have 20mins to help me with java? [21:24] Guest___: should be fine. [21:24] 20min?!

[21:25] mason64_1, would the java wiki be a good start? [21:25] i get this wen i try to install it [21:25] every time i go on facebook on firefox i get the error message JavaScript Required [21:25] We're sorry, but Facebook doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. If you can't enable JavaScript, try visiting the mobile-optimized website. [21:25] daftykins: Do I need Nautilus? I can't find the .configold just by showing hidden? [21:25] oh, javascript <> java [21:25] fardarter: keep looking ;) [21:25] mason64_1, it is a browser setting [21:26] OerHeks, i have looked but i cant seem to find java on firefox at all? [21:26] so Firefox was crashing so I migrated to Google Chrome, wish me luck! :D [21:26] mason64_1, addons-plugin [21:27] wileee, not in addons at all [21:27] which is strange as most online help forums say the same but for some reason no java is under plugins [21:27] mason64_1, Not in the plugins tab?

[21:29] mason javaSCRIPT > about:config and setting the key javascript.enabled to false [21:29] or enable [21:30] where do i do that sorry OerHeks am totally new to linux [21:30] daftykins: ok i got the live session booted. is this the chroot procedure https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery#Update_Failure [21:30] mason64_1, enter 'about:config' as a webadress [21:31] ahh ok [21:31] mason64_1 if you've installed "openjdk-7-jre" then the browser plug-in for Mozilla/Firefox is "icedtea-7-plugin" [21:32] java script value is set to flase [21:32] is it possiable to have more than one terminal running at the same time ? [21:32] fixed [21:32] Guest___: yep looks good [21:33] OerHeks, fixed by changing the value to true! after 3 days its just that :) [21:33] daftykins: Will I need to restart for everything to apply again? [21:33] Guest___: once you get in, run a "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" and paste it via past.ubuntu.com to share here [21:33] fardarter: nah, not if it's just application configs [21:33] mason64_1, i had a hard time seeing the diff between java and javascript too, have fun ! [21:34] so icetea is the java plugin and javascript was disabled [21:34] jups [21:34] daftykins: I don't seem to have recovered all my taskbar items though. [21:34] is it possiable to have more than one terminal running at the same time ? gguys ? [21:34] ahh good to know, slowly i hope i get the hang of this :) am not going to give up :) been a windows man for far to long :) [21:35] anomonus2015: yes.... [21:35] thanks for your help OerHeks [21:35] fardarter: nah, that will have been in a section that likely caused the problems [21:35] tgm4883, how do you do this ? [21:35] anomonus2015: graphically? [21:35] daftykins: Ah, alright. Enough time on this anyway. Thanks so very much! [21:35] yea [21:35] anomonus2015: you.... open a second one? [21:36] :D it just takes the 1st one to the front [21:36] anomonus2015: right click on the icon and I believe you can open one in a new window [21:36] fardarter: np :> enjoy [21:36] anomonus2015: or, you could look under file in the menu and I belivee you can do it there too [21:37] another quick one - when i get this Firefox has prevented the outdated plugin adobe flash from running should i never run it as flash is not a good idea to run these days [21:37] mason64_1: that would be the best security practice [21:37] ok thanks [21:38] ahh thx guys [21:39] daftykins: well the live session has no internet access so i cant really pastebin the results... [21:39] Guest___: how come? wireless? [21:39] daftykins: no its wired. i dont know [21:40] it was working fine before this all happened. im on the same connection with this computer [21:40] Guest___: hmm, well tell you what run it anyway and see which kernels if any are installed [21:40] hello [21:40] can you just tell me what youre looking for in there? i have a bunch of kernel images, 3.19.0-15.15, .16, .18, .20, .21, .22, 31, 38, 39, 40, 43, 44, 47 [21:41] also extra modules for the same versions it looks like [21:41] im installing ubuntu 14.04.2 server distribution but i cant get past the iscsi part i dont understand it i have unallocated disk in system and cant select it? [21:41] do you uninstall all programs via the software center? or is there a remove programs feature on ubuntu [21:42] mason64_1 there or a terminal or synaptic [21:42] oh wait some of those are 3.16.0 [21:42] 3.19.0-22 is the newest it looks like [21:43] ahhh but i dont have a "kernel extra modules" entry for that? [21:43] you think thats the problem? [21:43] mason64_1, In the cli sudo apt-get remove "package" [21:45] ciao [21:46] ok thanks wileee [21:46] ;) [21:46] hmm, I can log in, right click, terminal, pidgin. the term and pidgin windows don't have boarders, menus, min/max/close button [21:48] im installing ubuntu 14.04.2 server distribution but i cant get past the iscsi part i dont understand it i have unallocated disk in system and cant select it? what should i do [21:49] daftykins: so you were saying I need to reinstall the kernel? how do i do that exactly? [21:49] Guest___: could be more your boot config, one sec [21:50] IamEld3st, how are you running your hard drives? via raid or just normal? [21:50] thx [21:50] IamEld3st: you may want to try #ubuntu-server or #ubuntu-installer [21:50] Guest___: do you have any parameters within these two vars in your /etc/default/grub ? [21:50] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [21:51] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" [21:51] daftykins: the first one is blank but _DEFAULT has "quiet splash nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0" [21:51] well there is only one drive in system and it goes by this detecting....found mbfb intel raid something......found sata raid.... configure iscsi volumes [21:52] THanks everyone, no doubt i will be back for more help. THanks alot [21:52] Guest___: hrmm seems normal [21:52] Guest___: at least, normal if you boot with nomodeset every time o0 [21:52] so should disable raid in bios? or something? [21:52] daftykins: i have an nvidia quadro which ubuntu always has issues with, so yeah i think i do [21:52] i had to add that awhile ago [21:53] i often have to reinstall the drivers with sgfxi after an upgrade or stuff like that but it didnt help this time [21:53] ah [21:53] for the live session its the only way to get it to boot, for example [21:56] When i close down xchat irc it asks me to minimize it to the tray - where is the tray as i have 3 irc windows open now and cant find the other two [21:57] mason64_12, top panel, click on the enveloppe [21:57] guys Terminal dsent recognise the path /Home/Pictures/eclipse.jpg [21:57] anomonus2015: probably because /home is not /Home [21:57] i click on that but only see 1 xchat window [21:57] user Pictures? [21:58] so its not or is case sensitive ? [21:58] daftykins: looking at my apt history log, the packages that were autoremoved right before this happened were a bunch of packages like linux-image-extra, linux-image, etc all for 3.19.0-21. which i guess would have been the last kernel version [21:58] mason64_12, why that many xchat windows open? btw xchat is no longer under development, use hexchat. [21:59] nope still not working even in lowercase [21:59] whois Sonny|3oy [21:59] i will remove xchat now and come back with hex chat brb [22:00] anomonus2015: don't you mean /home/$USER/Pictures/eclipse.jpg [22:00] when i try to grub update i get a weird error… "error getting authority: error intializing authority: could not connect: no such file or directory (g-io-error-quark, 1) mount: can't find UUID=blablabla mount: mount point /run/shm does not exist" [22:00] anomonus2015: and yes, very case sensitive [22:00] but then it seems to finished successfully. could this be related to my problem do you think? [22:00] Guest___: ah, you'd need to get online to reinstall easily - or just try booting an older one [22:01] $user is my sername when i login ? [22:01] daftykins: i can get online in the recovery console, will that work? [22:01] ahh [22:01] anomonus2015: yes, in caps [22:01] copulation [22:01] COPULATION [22:02] daftykins: so you think i should reinstall all the previous version kernel libraries? or something else? [22:02] i usually swear when i have a eureka moment. but i know how sensitive peple are in here [22:02] anomonus2015: /home/$USER == $HOME == ~ [22:02] Guest___: well you want the 'extras' package of the one you normally run === jesper is now known as Sewerrat [22:03] anomonus2015: using Bash variables makes scripting more flexible [22:04] ER WHUT [22:04] SUDO COMMAND NOT FOUND !

[22:06] UMMM im geting confused. im entering sudo cp /home/user/pictures/file/jpg /usr/share/backgrounds [22:06] anomonus2015: what is the output of: whoami [22:06] does the user name need $ at start ? [22:07] daftykins: what package would that be? linux-image-extra-3.19.0-22-generic is already installed, is that the one you mean? [22:07] anomonus2015: yes. It's a variable. It also has to be capitalised. [22:07] im running 3.19.0-22 [22:07] only that part in caps ?

[22:15] Anomonus2015: The P in Pictures is a capital. Use TAB to autocomplete paths. Easier [22:17] Mason64, i sugest the - button, x closes chat. i use multiple desktops to keep programms clear [22:18] ok so i retryed it with capital P and then also with a capital H in home but still no joy :/ [22:19] OerHeks, multiply desktops :) my next lesson [22:19] haha [22:20] anomonus2015: home should be lowercase, if pictures was already there then it might have an uppercase. You can use ~ for shorthand for your home, then it would just be ~/Pictures/whatever [22:20] systemsettings > appearance> [tab] behaviour, and enable workspaces [22:21] thanks [22:21] HI [22:21] LIST [22:22] !list | JACKIO [22:22] JACKIO: SchrodingersScat: No warez here!

[22:36] I agree with Seveas [22:36] superherointj: that's off topic here. #ubuntu-offtopic for casual chat [22:36] What does it mean? [22:37] Ok [22:37] i want to use all the syntax in one prog? [22:38] bujji_: what do you mean? What are you trying to achieve? [22:39] like if,case,while.for.functions,arrays,break,continue... [22:40] bujji_: OK but to do what? [22:40] for knowing things. [22:41] bujji_: #bash is a bit closer to what you want [22:42] bujji_: they can help you write kickass scripts [22:42] yes,i agree [22:44] I can't get my laptop (UEFI) to dual boot with Windows 8.1 -- The installer fails with installing GRUB. How can I modify the GRUB configuration in a live USB to point to my Ubuntu installation on the harddrive? [22:44] ActionParsnip:i want to use them in one prog?? [22:44] bujji_: that's fine and possible [22:44] Nikesh:#ubuntu [22:45] bujji_: ? That's where I'm at [22:45] bujji_: google for intro to Python [22:45] !man | bujji_ [22:45] bujji_: The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [22:49] Nikesh: http://linux.about.com/od/LinuxNewbieDesktopGuide/ss/The-Ultimate-Windows-81-And-Ubuntu-Dual-Boot-Guide.htm [22:50] hi all. Are ubuntu 14.04 servers all synced to UTC by default? Would I have to do something with ntp maybe to make sure they are all accurate? [22:51] shlant, if that is your default setup, yes [22:51] ActionParsnip:related topic for that [22:52] OerHeks: if what is? I don't have ntp installed. Just a vanilla 14.04 AMI [22:52] ActionParsnip: I'll give a try.. [22:52] shlant: I suggest you use NTP [22:52] bujji_: for what? [22:52] shlant: time is important in computers [22:53] hello [22:53] to use all in one syntax === loculinux is now known as ruxus [22:53] bujji_: it's the same channel === ruxus is now known as tuxus [22:53] hello [22:53] ActionParsnip: yea that's what I figured [22:54] ActionParsnip:same channel? [22:55] shlant: I use it in one of my interview questions. Windows DC time being incorrect for long periods is not good :-( [22:55] bujji_: yes. #bash [22:55] ActionParsnip: agreed [22:56] ActionParsnip::) [22:56] shlant: tombstoning your entire domain isn't cool [22:57] ActionParsnip: I can imagine haha [22:57] ok so you will all be relieved to hear i copyed eclipse.jpg to backgrounds [22:57] anomonus2015: why does it have to be in there? [22:58] ActionParsnip: calcultor prog can use all. [22:58] hi everybody. I'm trying to "Print to PDF" with ghostscript ... I have a raw-printer file that I want to convert to a PDF, but it automatically sets the size to "letter" ... with a lot of work I have now manage to get it to create it in A4 format...but I need A5, which doesn't seem to be supported....what can I do ? [22:58] but i cant understand why i got a problem with /home in the path. i replaced /home with ~ and it worked but /home wound work [22:59] ActionParsnip, the eclipse.jpg is going to replace the login greeting background [22:59] anomonus2015: you would need /home/yourusername or similar. Your user's home folder is not /home it is a subfolder in it. One for each user [23:01] ActionParsnip: advanced prog for bash [23:01] bujji_: what do you mean? [23:02] advanced programs iwant to try for bash..any references [23:03] bujji_: I don't even see you in #bash , here's one of the better resources: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [23:04] bujji_: it depends what you want to achieve. Bash is made up of many commands. You string them together to achieve your goals [23:05] SchrodingersScat:i use this for basics and all [23:05] Weird question; can I remove apt-get? [23:06] in favor of another package manager [23:06] bujji_, this is not a programming help channel, #bash is :-) [23:06] SchrodingersScat:what you gave url to me [23:06] k82wong: I can't imagine that being worth it, but you're likely free to do so [23:06] if my desktop manager (unity, right?) works fine for guest, but not mine, I am assuming a config file under /home/carl got whacked. I have a backup from a few weeks ago. I would like to diff files. What dir(s) should I look at? [23:07] SchrodingersScat: Is there a clue onto how I would do that? [23:07] okey [23:07] ActionParsnip, i dont follow that last too me ! sudo cp /home/$USER would be the start of my path but it didnt work so i did ~/$USER and that did work [23:07] !apt [23:07] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [23:07] k82wong, no, removal will break [23:08] !info apt [23:08] apt (source: apt): commandline package manager. In component main, is important. Version 1.0.9.7ubuntu4 (vivid), package size 983 kB, installed size 3743 kB [23:08] k82wong: you can add another package installer(client) if you'd like ... removing apt-get is not advicable (part of Ubuntu) [23:08] .. is important.. [23:09] Today's challenge --> I'm trying to "Print to PDF" with ghostscript ... I have a raw-printer file that I want to convert to a PDF, but it automatically sets the size to "letter" ... with a lot of work I have now manage to get it to create it in A4 format...but I need A5, which doesn't seem to be supported....what can I do ? [23:09] anomonus2015: I noticed earlier that your $USER seemed to be unset, idk why, mine is... maybe you overwrote it at some point? At any rate, I don't think it's doing what you think it's doing. [23:09] anomonus2015: you could test with a simple echo "$USER" === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:10] anomonus2015: ~/$USER would become /home/andy/andy in my case. If that's what folders you have then fine.. [23:10] coraxx: -sPAPERSIZE=a5 ? [23:11] SchrodingersScat, what do you mean when you say unset ?////// [23:12] reisio: thanx for responding :-) ... when I add it to the command line, it gets ignored ...and again it defaults to "letter"-format. [23:12] CarlFK: your desktop manager will be lightdm by default. Unity is a plugin for the Compiz window manager [23:12] anomonus2015, i think your $USER was not unset, you just did it wrong. [23:12] anomonus2015: your earlier paste of: "cannont stat 'home//pictures/eclipse.jpg : No such file or directory" is when you were trying a 'cp /home/$USER/pictures/eclipse.jpg', so, there's /home//pictures meaning that $USER is just a null/something. [23:12] reisio: in fact the entire -sPAPERSIZE param is ignored _completely_ [23:12] OerHeks: ok, idk the terminology, but it's not expanding to his username, afaict [23:13] yes i think i had a typo in the user at that point but i corrected it .however it still wouldnt work untill i replaced /home with ~ === it is now known as Guest93084 [23:14] reisio: The GhostScript command I'm using is the Ghost PCL (pcl6 64-bit version) [23:14] ActionParsnip: good. I haven't cusomized anything like that, so lightdm is it. any idea where it stores user based config? (I get no lanuch bar or status bar. I can right click, terminal, and the window has no boarders. this is what I am trying to debug) [23:14] anomonus2015: shorter and easier too [23:14] coraxx: sounds like nonsense to me [23:14] CarlFK: user based config is stored per user [23:15] yes but why would the path not recodnise /home [23:15] but hey at least you can use all 64 bits for... printing... [23:15] if it should work then why didnt it ? [23:15] ActionParsnip: um.. where? (guest login works fine, user carl is broken) [23:15] anomonus2015: sounds like your bash vars got messed up. [23:16] anomonus2015: it recognized the /home/ just didn't expand $USER to anything, it's a small point, but makes sense that if $USER="" then ~/$USER would be the same as ~ for you. just saying. [23:16] CarlFK: probably in dconf someplace or in ~/.config someplace [23:16] reisio: If you'll try yourself, you can see how crazy it all is :-) link to software --> http://ghostscript.com/download/gpcldnld.html [23:17] what exactly is the point of using an exotic gs? [23:17] reisio: The command --> ./pcl6-916-linux_x86_64 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -J"@PJL SET PAPER=a4" -sOutputFile=./mytest.pdf ./recept_orig.raw [23:17] anomonus2015: you can set it with: USER=`whoami` [23:18] anomonus2015: then: echo $USER should show your username [23:18] anomonus2015: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [23:18] reisio: ... where recept_orig.raw is a raw-pcl-text file and mytest.pdf is the output file [23:18] SchrodingersScat, ok im missing something. I login when i start ubuntu so i MUST have a $USER so why is it failing at /home. im lost :( [23:18] what exactly is the point of using an exotic gs? [23:18] reisio: Because ghostscript (gs) can't read raw-pcl-text files [23:19] coraxx: can't imagemagick do that using the 'convert' command? [23:20] coraxx: and what's the point in reading raw-pcl-text files? [23:20] ActionParsnip: interestning ...I will look it up and see. [23:20] anomonus2015: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue ? It's a single line of output. No need to pastebin [23:21] reisio: An old software, that a client of mine is using, can only print this old dos format ... I need ubuntu to capture it and convert to a format that a regular ink-printer can print out. [23:23] ActionParsnip: damn... I get the same error as this dude --> http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=24156 [23:23] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l [23:24] anomonus2015: cool. [23:24] Im running 14.04 and I have set up vnc but when I try to connect to it I get a grey screen. I looked up some fixes but nothing has worked so far. [23:24] coraxx: hmm. Let me search [23:24] why is it cool ? [23:25] anomonus2015: it's real Ubuntu and not a spinoff. [23:25] how does this help me [23:25] Moseco, which vnc? [23:25] Moseco: what is the reason to use VNC? What do you want to do on the remote system? There may be a sleeker solution [23:26] ActionParsnip: tightvncserver on ubuntu [23:26] compdoc: tightvncserver [23:26] Moseco: doesn't answer my question [23:26] Moseco, sec, i have a fix [23:26] ActionParsnip: thx :-) [23:26] Moseco, the unity desktop is 3d, and I doubt that will work [23:26] ActionParsnip: Sorry, sent to wrong person. So someone can work on it while im sitting at it [23:27] !find a2ping [23:27] File a2ping found in texlive-extra-utils [23:27] compdoc: Do I need to install a different vnc then? [23:27] Moseco: throw this into your .vnc/xstartup file [23:27] http://pastebin.com/6SnCnRKw [23:27] coraxx: install texlive-extra-utils then use a2ping [23:27] ActionParsnip, I would like to know your reason for requesting the output of cat /etc/issue ? [23:27] coraxx: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/a2ping.1.html [23:27] ActionParsnip: on it :-) [23:28] Moseco, most remote desktop packages require a 2d desktop. I use Mate, but there are lots of others [23:28] .join #ubuntu-us-tn [23:28] sorry [23:28] OmkAR: I will give that a try [23:28] anomonus2015: make sure you are using Ubuntu and not a spinoff. Non Canonical releases aren't supported here [23:28] that's using vnc4server though, but i think it's the same [23:28] anomonus2015, he told you, to check if it was a spinnoff, or not ubuntu, that might explain your issue. i say: you just did it wrong, Pictures with/without capital P etc etc [23:28] you get non canonical releases of ubuntu ? [23:29] Moseco like remote support? [23:29] compdoc: So Ill need to find something that can take 3d unity but send it in 2d [23:29] ActionParsnip: /usr/bin/a2ping: unknown input image format: recept_orig.raw [23:29] anomonus2015: mint, kali, pearos, mint are based on Ubuntu but are not supported here [23:29] ActionParsnip: So we can both do work on it at the same time [23:29] coraxx: oh it's raw? [23:30] Moseco, Id like to see what happens with OmkAR's suggestion. It would be great if that worked [23:30] ActionParsnip: yup [23:30] Moseco: do you mean to work on the same files? [23:30] OerHeks, perhaps, however when i eventully got it to work i simply used up cursor to redo previous command , deleted /home from it and replaced it with ~ and it then worked 0_0 go figure [23:32] ActionParsnip: if I could copy the file directly to lpt1 ---> that has an old HP LaserJet 4 connected to it ... I would get my print ...in the right format an text size. [23:32] ActionParsnip: Not specifically. I have the desktop as my main machine and he uses a laptop so he wants to use more powerful computer for certain things [23:32] ActionParsnip: Which is why he wants to vnc into mine [23:33] ActionParsnip: so RAW-HP like PCL-Text ----> to PDF (or .PS) is what I'm looking for. [23:33] Moseco: you can use openssh-server for that. The application will display as a local application but really be running on the server side (like Citrix) [23:33] OmkAR: Still grey [23:33] compdoc: Still grey [23:33] :\ [23:33] coraxx: won't lp just print it? [23:33] how are you starting it [23:33] vncserver -geometry 1024x768 [23:33] and did you kill the old one first [23:33] Moseco, doesnt ubuntu have vino for desktop sharing? or do you need seperate desktops? [23:34] vncserver -kill :1 [23:34] compdoc: seperate desktop. Need to be able to do work at the same time [23:34] Moseco: ssh -X user@server applicationtorun [23:34] coraxx: yes ... with the option "-o raw" both lp and lpr can't print it to the printer ... but ONLY if it is a HP LaserJet ... not if it is an ink-printer. [23:35] ActionParsnip: Ill look into that, thank you [23:35] coraxx: gotcha [23:35] should i just upgrade my GPU or buy a whole new system... Running a AMD 8320 [23:35] Moseco, install dconf-tools : dconf > desktop > gnome > remote-access > enabled - uncheck !!! issue fixed. Remote Desktop sharing working after reboot [23:35] Ryein: ask in #hardware [23:35] ActionParsnip: yes ... with the option "-o raw" both lp and lpr can't print it to the printer ... but ONLY if it is a HP LaserJet ... not if it is an ink-printer. [23:35] ActionParsnip: go me ?..how ? :-) [23:36] coraxx: I'd imagine there is a command to do it [23:36] ActionParsnip: when I wrote can't...I meant can [23:37] ActionParsnip: I've been trying a lot ... even considered a script cropping a letter-format into A5. [23:39] I have a broken lcd screen laptop and i want to display it in my other computer that has ubuntu in it installed , is there any way to do that , i don't know using virtual box , or something , what do you think I can do ???? [23:39] ActionParsnip: The closest I've gotten so far is with Ghost PCL ...I can get the A4-sheets out now ...I'm only missing the A5-format. [23:40] coraxx: is it just text? [23:40] I have a broken lcd screen laptop and i want to display it in my other computer that has ubuntu in it installed , is there any way to do that , i don't know using virtual box , or something , what do you think I can do ???? [23:41] ActionParsnip: no, there a "format" codes in it ...and also special-characters as I am from Denmark, where we use Æ,Ø and Å [23:41] will a 980 work well with multiple monitors in ubuntu 15.04 without any fuss? [23:41] nawy: VNC possibly, or SSH [23:41] coraxx: dang [23:42] ActionParsnip: the A5-sheets are used for filling out prescriptions ... with a medical software that use to run on Win98. [23:42] ActionParsnip: :-) you're right...that would have been nice to just perl/regex you out of a regular textfile and print it :-) [23:43] nawy: you will need to hook up a monitor to it and install the server side, once it's good you can connect from the client [23:43] ActionParsnip: btw .. I admire you multitasking skills :-) [23:43] coraxx: comes with time. Helps in my job too [23:43] nawy: just install openssh-server on the broken system and you can connect from your other system [23:44] Anyone know how to fix: clang.exe: error: unknown argument: ‘-fexec-charset=UTF-8′ [23:45] nawy: VNC will do that. You can configure it over SSH [23:47] anomonus2015: $USER is just a variable [23:47] I really don't know how to do that is there any ubuntu application that can help ? or any step by step guide ?? [23:48] nawy: tonnes of guides online for installing and configuration of VNC [23:48] nawy: in a terminal...write : sudo apt-get install openssh-server [23:48] nawy: ...enter your password...and it should be installed. [23:48] SchrodingersScat, i know. its just my account name [23:49] anomonus2015: not in the examples I saw ;) [23:49] coraxx ; and then ? [23:51] nawy: sorry...I only saw that you needed help with installing the SSH-server ... that was my pitch :-) [23:51] thanks [23:52] SchrodingersScat, what you saying. copy and past what i wrote please and explain my mistake [23:52] nawy: on a different note ..I've recently stopped using VNC ...and I've installed NoMachine instead, for faster remote control. [23:53] anomonus2015: output of echo "$USER" ; please [23:53] hi [23:53] wtf is this? [23:53] !support | ubuntu-mate [23:53] ubuntu-mate: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [23:54] ; am looking for a way to do it using cables is there anyway ?? [23:54] ubuntu-mate, 1st. keep this channel family friendly, 2nd read the topic [23:54] thats just my username [23:54] anomonus2015: ok, nvm then [23:54] what were you expecting ? [23:54] nothing [23:54] nawy: the physical connection is moot. Just get them on the same LAN and it will work [23:55] wait you ask me to input commands . can you explain what for ! [23:55] anomonus2015: because of the previous commands not working, and then the later one with ~ working. [23:56] that dosent explin why you wanted my username ! ? [23:57] anomonus2015: I was expecting nothing :P [23:57] im trying to understand your train of thought so i may better undrstanf this operating system ! [23:57] bye bye you all and g'night. [23:57] anomonus2015: it didn't work in your command before [23:58] anomonus2015, can you post all the commands you tried in paste.ubuntu.com ? maybe it clears things up [23:58] just arrow-up in terminal, you'll find them there [23:58] oer ive restarted since i first started ! [23:58] anomonus2015, they are still there, after reboot [23:59] its 1am here. im going to bed
