[01:01] <josquin> binutils updated, yesterday.  My terminal, which is transparent, now shows through all the way to the desktop.  It never did, before.  Should that have happened?
[04:09] <Superichy> hola bipolar
[07:53] <Picoloko> Anyone here uses Teamviewer ?
[07:54] <bekks> Picoloko: Please dont crosspost ;)
[07:54] <Picoloko> Oops. Sorry.
[07:54] <Picoloko> Do you use it?
[07:55] <bekks> Why?
[07:55] <Picoloko> I mean, is it secure in Linux?
[07:55] <bekks> It is as secure as on Windows, since it is just a port of the Windows application.
[07:55] <Picoloko> I'm a fond user of TeamViewer on Windows and I'm not sure if it works good as well in Linux?
[07:55] <bekks> So just try it?
[07:56] <Picoloko> Do you know any alternative that is created for Linux?
[07:56] <Picoloko> Alternative for TeamViewer?
[07:58] <bekks> ssh
[08:00] <nickmh> x2go
[08:41] <crown> Could someone hack me if I use frequently IRC?
[08:45] <Picoloko> Would that be possible?
[08:46] <crown> I mean
[08:47] <crown> Linux is totally secure, but the NSA Could or any group of hackers?
[08:48] <crown> I mean using IRC without extra security, justt the defaults?
[08:49] <knome> crown, someone can hack you if you regularly use the *internet*
[08:49] <knome> but that likely won't happen if you keep your packages updated
[08:50] <crown> ok, thanks knome
[08:52] <Picoloko> Are you guys using the LTS version of Xubuntu
[08:52] <Picoloko> ?
[08:52] <crown> So, you use IRC on Tor or how do you protect yourselbes
[08:52] <crown> I use Ubuntu 1504
[08:53] <crown> I tried to setup ufw but I think isnt possible without activating root accouny
[08:54] <knome> crown, as i just implied, irc isn't any more insecure than www or email; do you use them via tor?
[08:55] <knome> and no, you don't need to activate the root account for anything
[08:55] <crown> No, Ive read that tor could be dangerous so I stay away
[08:56] <crown> Yes I have because systemctl enable ufw serbice wont work
[08:56] <crown> command I mean
[08:56] <Picoloko> Is it true that TOR network is not safe anymore?
[08:56] <knome> no.
[08:57] <knome> crown, did you try with sudo?
[08:57] <crown> Of course man
[08:57] <knome> crown, if you are concerned about safety, read this: http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/C/guide-keeping-safe.html
[08:57] <crown> Im not so newbie
[08:57] <Picoloko> Do you guys use SSH?
[08:58] <knome> Picoloko, with what?
[08:58] <Picoloko> Because I want to remotely control Windows
[08:58] <crown> No I think it isnt active
[08:58] <Picoloko> or Linux to Linux
[08:58] <crown> by default
[08:59] <crown> Have you guys tried to setjup ufw? on ubuntu It can be done without problems in Debian Fesora n arch
[09:01] <crown> But I just like so much Ubuntu that doesnt mattwr
[09:02] <crown> But not a fan of unity, actually I kinda hate it I like more Xfce
[09:02] <crown> with High contrast theme n icons
[09:02] <crown> bye guys
[11:35] <xubuntu46w> I installed xbuntu 15.04 through a bootable install onto my laptop and it didin't come with any browser installed except 'web browser" and every time I try to start that using any method I can think of it says input/output error
[11:36] <mrkramps> xubuntu46w, you installed the Core version of Xubuntu?
[11:37] <bekks> xubuntu46w: Open a terminal and take a look at dmesg
[11:38] <xubuntu46w> yeah its the core and ok hold on
[11:38] <mrkramps> xubuntu46w, you then need to install some web browser
[11:39] <mrkramps> this menu entry "web browser" ist just generic for the system's default web browser (which is not installed)
[11:39] <Unit193> An entry created by 'exo' to be specific.
[11:39] <xubuntu46w> i don't think my sources are being updated correctly then cause then shouldnt i be able to just apt-get install firefox? or do I have to be more specific. Please forgive my ignorance im still pretty new with commands.
[11:40] <Unit193> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
[11:40] <bekks> xubuntu46w: Whats the output of "dmesg" please? Put it into a pastebin.
[11:41] <xubuntu46w> im using two computers I literally have no way of accessing internet on the one with xubuntu so idk how i'd copy and paste the output but from looking at it it seems that I just need to install a browser because there isn't one
[11:42] <Unit193> ...Well that's why you can't 'apt-get install firefox'...
[11:42] <xubuntu46w> no no im connected to the network just no application to access websites
[11:43] <bekks> you dont need a browser for pastebin.
[11:43] <bekks> dmesg | pastebinit
[11:43] <xubuntu46w> oh ok one sec
[11:43] <Unit193> (No pastebinit in core by default.)
[11:44] <mrkramps> ouh, not good
[11:45] <xubuntu46w> well blah i might just start over putting something else on a usb and reinstalling can you get to gparted on core?
[11:45] <bekks> How about just installing pastebinit and pastebin the information requested? :)
[11:45] <mrkramps> xubuntu46w, actually you just need to update the repositories and just apt-get all you need
[11:46] <mrkramps> and if there is an error when updating the repos, let us know
[11:46] <mrkramps> Unit193 already postet the command above
[11:46] <Unit193> Or, re-install with http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ ?
[11:47] <mrkramps> reinstalling has never been a valid solution =P
[11:47] <xubuntu46w> k thats done one sec and ill try pastebinit again
[11:47] <Unit193> mrkramps: Seems the user installed core expecting something closer to the desktop, and if the  user is a first timer I'd highly recommend desktop over core.
[11:48] <bekks> Unit193: Then run sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop :)
[11:48] <bekks> No need for reinstalling.
[11:48] <Unit193> bekks: I'd prefer the task, xubuntu-desktop^
[11:48] <bekks> Or that, yes.
[11:48] <Unit193> But yes, there's that too. :D
[11:52] <xubuntu46w> yeah Ive used mint and ubuntu before but somehow it escaped my knowledge that core and desktop weren't the same thing. Totally my bad I'll try
[11:52] <xubuntu46w> but desktop is installing now thanks for the help if it has an error I 'll post it
[14:48] <sorinello> Hello. How can I see which version of Virtualbox is included in Ubuntu 15.04 default repos ?
[14:49] <Tm_T> sorinello: packages.ubuntu.com might help (:
[14:49] <cfhowlett> !info virtualbox vivid
[14:49] <cfhowlett> sorinello, see above
[14:49] <Tm_T> also one could ask bot, but it's useful to learn to use said website I'd say
[14:49] <sorinello> ok, so 4.3. I though they already pushed 5.0
[15:15] <Grouver> Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help me out. I just can´t figure out how to let xubuntu show my ATI HD 6950 clock and load. I need to figure out what it is so i can see if no powersave options are on that are constantly changing the clock, this was the case within Windows. I am using the opensource X.org driver.
[15:28] <wyre1> hi guys! i need setup power settings to when i close lid only lock the screen but graphical power manager doesn't make it :(
[15:28] <wyre1> and i try edit logind.conf but i need restart some service, ain't it?
[15:29] <wyre1> do what i do always when i close the lid the system go to suspend
[15:32] <quantibility> Need a good android development channel
[15:33] <cfhowlett> !alis | quantibility
[15:34] <xubuntu09i> hello
[15:36] <quantibility> Ubuntu no help
[16:22] <sjoshi> Hello, how can i get auto ethernet option in Xubuntu15.04, i am not ableto see it anymore. any help?
[17:18] <holstein> sjoshi: it should "just work".. when you say you cant see it anymore? what does that mean? since an update? or, since a lightning strike? or?
[17:25] <sjoshi> holstein: I was able to see it before but not now, may b some upgrade
[17:26] <holstein> sjoshi: cool.. was it an upgrade? any details will help a volunteer assist.. what i might do is simply try booting an older kernel, one that i know supported the card.. then, i would check the bios, and simply boot a live CD that i know supported the NIC in the past.. that would remove my installed OS from the equation
[17:27] <sjoshi> holstein: ok i guess i can do that, I have live USB of ubuntu mint15.04, let me try
[17:32] <holstein> sjoshi: mint shouldnt have a released called "15.04".. ideally, you could use the same one you installed xubuntu from, that you know provided support for the NIC.. but, any live iso that you know worked with the NIC will tell you if its hardware or software..
[17:39] <holstein> sjoshi: other helpful tips.. ifconfig in the terminal, will list available connections/devices..
[17:43] <sjoshi> holstein: point noted, thanks alot for your help. I will get back to you after verifying those points.
[22:42] <w30> I want to serve up a directory with apache2. Help for the unwashed and uneducated please??
[22:51] <xubuntu34w> Hi guys ! I have a question..
[22:52] <xubuntu34w> I will like to create a partition where to save my files... and only for this use...  what do I have ro choose? ext4 with / or /home or anything else?
[22:53] <knome> xubuntu34w, one partition for / (system files) and one partition for /home (for your personal files)
[22:53] <knome> xubuntu34w, ext4 is fine for both of them
[22:54] <knome> xubuntu34w, additionally, you might want a swap partition
[22:55] <xubuntu34w> ok.. but what i didnt say is I have another linux -ubuntu- on the hard drive so it is only to save files to be ale to use them on any distro...
[22:55] <xubuntu34w> it's a common partition I will say I want to create...
[22:56] <knome> xubuntu34w, if you have ubuntu installed, you can get "xubuntu" by installing the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and selecting the "xubuntu" session from the login screen - no need to install xubuntu separately
[22:56] <xubuntu34w> I know.. but I want to install Xubuntu alongside ubuntu
[22:57] <knome> if you want a shared partition for file sharing between linux distributions, you can use ext4 for that - use fat32 if you need to share with windows as well
[22:57] <w30> jf you don't boot windows; do what I do. make a partition with ext4 and mount it in each distro with fstab
[22:57] <xubuntu34w> so I choose ext4 and?ok
[22:58] <xubuntu34w> logical partition I suppose and??  / or /home or /boot.....???
[22:58] <knome> xubuntu34w, none of those.
[22:58] <xubuntu34w> ok
[22:58] <knome> xubuntu34w, call it /data, for example
[22:59] <xubuntu34w> okkk. I was sure I had to choose  something..
[22:59] <xubuntu34w> thanks knome.
[22:59] <knome> no, the options above are all system-related; if you want a partition for sharing, it needs to be something that's not used by the system
[23:00] <knome> well, at least that's the ideal way to do it...
[23:00] <xubuntu34w> ok
[23:00] <xubuntu34w> so I will do your ideal way... :)
[23:01] <knome> (this wa you can't mess up any installation by changing the files in this partition at least)
[23:01] <xubuntu34w> and if I wanted to encrypt only the partition /data, is it possible to do it or it's only the /home folder when you want to do the installation?
[23:02] <knome> i don't think you can do that at installation time
[23:02] <xubuntu34w> ok
[23:02] <xubuntu34w> I will use your solution knome...
[23:02] <xubuntu34w> thanks a lot !
[23:03] <knome> no problem
[23:08] <knome> w30, what's it with apache that's not working for you?
[23:12] <w30> knome, I want to serve up a wallpaper picture directory. no html pages or such fancy
[23:12] <knome> ok, and where are you with the setup?
[23:12] <w30> knome, I need permissions or something?
[23:13] <knome> iirc, the default directory for the apache root is in /var/www
[23:13] <knome> so yeah, you'll need sudo rights to touch that
[23:13] <w30> knome,ok been there
[23:14] <knome> or alternatively, sudo rights to enable "userdirs", but the first option is likely easier
[23:14] <knome> so.. i don't really understand what your question is?
[23:15] <w30> I can't just stick a directory in var/www and serve it?
[23:15] <knome> you can
[23:15] <knome> but you'll need sudo to do that, since that directory is owned by root
[23:16] <w30> like localhost/wallpaper_directory
[23:16] <knome> for example, yes
[23:17] <w30> or localhost//var/www/wallpaper
[23:17] <knome> no
[23:17] <knome> as i said, /var/www (iirc) is the apache root, eg. "http://localhost/"
[23:17] <w30> knome, it is
[23:18] <knome> ok, so what's the question then?
[23:19] <w30> knome, so how do I get to /var/www/wallpaper_directory?
[23:19] <knome> ..get to?
[23:19] <knome> http://localhost/wallpaper_directory/ ?
[23:19] <w30> knome, with browser
[23:20] <w30> knome, nope, access denyed
[23:22] <w30> knome, forbidden rather
[23:24] <knome> have you edited your apache configuration?
[23:30] <w30> knome, I tried
[23:30] <knome> what did you change then?
[23:33] <w30> knome, I trieded a directory optiobs, allowoveride, require all grant
[23:34] <knome> have you restarted apache after that?
[23:34] <w30> options/optiobs
[23:34] <w30> knome, service apache2 restart successful
[23:35] <knome> in that case i'd suggest to ask the apache channels for help
[23:35] <knome> or #ubuntu-server maybe
[23:35] <knome> it's too long since i actually set up apache (myself and/or on ubuntu)
[23:36] <w30> knome, ubuntu-server sounds good thanks, I will trot my ass over there :=)
[23:37] <knome> ugh - and please remember that the (x)ubuntu channels are family friendly
[23:38] <w30> opps sorry
[23:38] <w30> ban me and Donald Trump to #windows
[23:38] <knome> nah...
[23:39] <knome> it's funnier to see you squirm of shame
[23:39] <knome> (just kidding...)
[23:39] <knome> (or am i?)
