[00:00] shine_, all i can say is swap browsers. [00:01] guys how do i change my swappiness [00:01] !swap } should find from here [00:01] wileee: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:02] !swap [00:02] 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 [00:02] !swap | should find from here [00:02] should find from here: please see above [00:02] cain-pol, Are you SSD? [00:02] SSD whats tha? [00:02] haha [00:02] solid state drive [00:03] I guess no ;) [00:03] i may sound dumb, i dont have a clue wa tha is [00:03] Looks like chrome's bookmark manager is not too bad. maybe I will give it a shot again. [00:03] cain-pol, roughly like a flash drive no spinning discs [00:03] okay [00:03] cain-pol: it's basically a Hard Drive, but instead of a spinning disk it just has a storage board like a flash drive does. [00:03] ye okay i got you [00:03] wileee: flash drives don't have spinning disks... [00:04] nicomachus thats what hes saying... [00:04] ah I see I misread [00:04] haha [00:04] guys whats the command to change my swappiness === jasoniumh_ is now known as jasoniumh [00:05] If I were to do a dist upgrade on my ubuntu 14.04 (and I have an efi install), are there any know problems? Ie: stuff breaking? I remember seeing that breakage issue come up a lot throughout the years when people would upgrade through the package manager instead of doing a fresh install. [00:05] cain-pol, you did not see the manual ?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What_is_swappiness_and_how_do_I_change_it.3F [00:05] theirs no commands in that manual [00:05] it's not just one command [00:05] cain-pol, oh you want us to spell it out? [00:06] yes please.... [00:06] cain-pol, i just did, click on the url [00:06] okay i will check again.. [00:06] schooled [00:07] its late for me okay... [00:07] i found it [00:09] shine_: it's always best to backup first. And if you have a dual-boot, you can expect grub to break. It's an easy fix. [00:12] nicomachus: for sure. no not dual boot, so maybe ok there. Googled a bit and not seeing any issues pop up about anything breaking, per say. I think the breakage that sometimes happens with dist upgrade is highly dependent on the hardware too though. (just a guess). [00:12] OerHeks, every time i start my System it come up with System Error Occured? [00:12] shine_: sounds about right. The only issue I've ever had is a newer kernel not liking my hardware. [00:12] does one really get the same, identical system with a dist upgrade that they do with a fresh install? [00:13] nicomachus: makes sense. I have an acer lappy (bout a year old). It's been extremely good about running ubuntu. [00:13] should be fine [00:14] cain-pol, err you wanted to change swapiness, change it back? [00:14] shine_, You are not calling a repo that has 10.04 [00:14] And, does anyone know where I can park about 20 Gb for a few hours for free? [00:14] i've changed it to 10? [00:14] OerHeks. Ive changed it to 10? [00:15] shine_: MEGA allows 50gb on a free account. [00:15] IIRC [00:15] wileee: I see [00:15] nicomachus: mega.com ? [00:15] But only 10GB transfer per month? [00:15] mega.co.nz [00:15] !eol | shine_ worth reading [00:15] shine_ worth reading: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:15] http://mega.co.nz/ [00:15] cain-pol, so? i have no clue why you changed it, just gave you a manual. [00:16] or mega.nz* my bad [00:16] PrinceProspero: 10gb transfer/month? really? [00:16] OerHeks, dont worry, i've got another problem [00:16] wileee: I understand. Just wasn't aware that 10.04 was eil [00:16] eol [00:17] just barely... 3 months. [00:17] Yes, they had such limit last time I tried uploading something large (few months ago) [00:17] PrinceProspero: nicomachus: got it. thx [00:17] PrinceProspero: lame, I didn't know that. [00:17] Perhaps you could split it up and put to 2 accounts [00:18] Looks like Google Drive has no limit, and 50gb on a free account. [00:18] Could anyone supply best way to back up /home// where perms are a concern? I recall a time in the past where perms became an issue when trying to restore the backed up folder. [00:18] hi [00:18] am new he43 [00:19] am new here [00:19] I think I did a tar geezie that other time. [00:19] tar.gz I mean [00:19] shine_, I would install 14.04 that is a big jump, I would just save what you need. [00:19] how do i install qt3 runtime libary [00:19] media....etc [00:20] can someone help me, i've installed Itunes 10 but i can Sync my IDevice with it [00:20] cain-pol, nobody can, as itunes does not work on linux/wine [00:20] wileee: 14.04 is what I have now [00:21] shine_, you said 10.04 and had multiple posts answering you. [00:21] medu: why do you need QT3? [00:22] for my broadband modem [00:22] cant* [00:23] medu: I don't see why your modem would require Qt in the first place [00:23] shine_, "wilee, that's another issue. I have the efi install of ubuntu 10:04. So I have the low disk space issue in boot and that is a big mess." We have to be on the same page is all, [00:23] Logan: the installation process requires it to install [00:24] medu: do you have a link? [00:24] shine_: if you have low disk space in /boot you need to delete some old kernels. [00:24] medu: What installation proccess¿ [00:24] thanks for the help [00:24] .... [00:25] Logan: it is a ZTE modem installation [00:25] xangua: is a ZTE modem [00:26] What I'm thinking is this ... Since I have the issue of /boot being too small, maybe a fresh install of the newest ubu is the best idea. I can jump into the partitioner and ensure that there isn't anything too small. If I do that though. I'm going to want to just back up /home/* (which only contains me/my user dir) - rather than fiddle around cherry picking content to back up. The thing is this though - once, in the past, I backed up my [00:26] entire home dir. I did it by packing it into a tar.gz and burning it to a disc. When I went to restore the dir on the new install later, there was a perms issue that was a real pain to get around (ate up hours dealing with it). That's the one thing I'd like to avoid this time. So I wonder the proper command that will allow me to circumvent all that perms bs this time?? (fwiw, I also have encryption on this current install). [00:26] wileee: ^ (and/or whoever) [00:27] I applaud you upgrading ;) [00:27] hey [00:28] medu: yes, but what installation process is telling you to install Qt 3? [00:28] you shouldn't need that to configure your modem properly [00:28] wileee: It is a bit exciting (I agree). I'm just lazy I guess. I'd rather use the system (basically forever) that deal wtih stuff like this. Problem is I love ubu and wouldn't want a debian (or any other) distro. [00:29] Logan: when i type ./install.sh [00:29] suppose I'll google around about my little questions. I'm at least capable of that ;) [00:30] shine_, Ubuntu was my first OS, tried all the big ones, pretty much only small differences, but I like ubuntu the best, it's basically plug and play. [00:30] for me any way [00:30] wileee: same here. I've tried about half a dozen others but always come back to my first love. [00:31] medu: ok, don't use the software that came with the modem [00:32] medu: try installing usb-modeswitch, and see if that makes your modem work properly [00:32] I think ubuntu is the least hassle nix you're gonna get. Debain maybe not too bad, but I don't think the debian crowd is as compassionate as ubuntu's where support is concerned. [00:32] ok [00:32] Logan: thanks [00:32] Anyway ... guess I'll get to it [00:33] Logan: i really appreciate [00:33] no problem! [00:33] shine_, I think this is one of the best support channels as well, a handful of hard core knowledge people are here 24/7 and others stop by. [00:33] not me I just know whom they are lol [00:34] there's like 5-10 guys on here that have saved my ass on dozens of occasions. [00:37] i need help guys [00:38] you won't get help unless you ask the REAL question [00:39] haha, i've recently installed Itunes 10 but i cant Sync my Apple devices [00:39] cain-pol, nobody can, as itunes does not work on linux/wine ... tried playonlinux? [00:39] or check the wineHQ database [00:39] wileee: yup. heh. peace out for a bit man. gonna go for it. [00:40] !itunes [00:40] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [00:40] OerHeks, wa do you mean have i tried play on linux? [00:40] !itunes [00:40] *face palms* [00:40] !wine [00:40] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [00:40] yep.... [00:41] only itunes can help you. [00:41] !virtualizers [00:41] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [00:41] !virtualbox [00:41] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures.

Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [00:42] bot abuse ;P [00:43] uhh, are you guys sure about the eol on 14.04? Why does the official ubuntu download page : http://www.ubuntu.com/download still recommend 14.04 ? [00:43] and not intelligent enough to complain [00:43] shine_, 10.04 [00:44] wileee: check the link brother [00:44] shine_, 10.04 is the eol [00:44] shine, check your history [00:44] I see 14.04.2 being recommended "for most users" and it is the default download atm [00:45] well, guess there was a miscommunication. Hope It wasn't me typing it out wrong. I am on 14.04 now [00:45] shine_, 14.04 is a LTS version. 5 years for Ubuntu, 3 years for Xubuntu [00:45] shine_, I quoted you and multiple posts by others. ;) [00:45] I haven't had 10.04 since about 2003 [00:45] iirc [00:45] no biggie [00:46] lol [00:46] for the record lol "shine_> wilee, that's another issue. I have the efi install of ubuntu 10:04. So I have the low disk space issue in boot and that is a big mess." [00:46] so, back to square one I guess. But, considering that this is a lvm install as well, I wonder if I can just resize my measly little /boot partition [00:47] shine_, This uefi or msdos [00:47] wileee: err, I'd have to check === sysop is now known as Guest9179 [00:47] *if you ignore trolls, do they eventually go away?* [00:47] shine_, cool, others better at this just curious. [00:48] wileee: I see 2 lines in the output of mount that may be relevant. Not sure which of them to focus on though [00:49] /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw) [00:49] /dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw) [00:49] vfat I guess :s [00:49] shine_, run two commands and look, pastbu=in them if needed sudo parted -l than sudo fdisk -l [00:50] ah I see efi === garrett is now known as Guest72394 [00:51] kk === Guest72394 is now known as windbag === windbag is now known as papule [00:51] shine_, lvm and uefi are way beyond me really helping is all. [00:52] !nick | papule [00:52] papule: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [00:52] wileee: looks like it's fat32 (vfat) [00:52] np [00:52] where would i go if i need help with peerguardian [00:52] shine_, thats not related exactly, it would be the partition table [00:52] I can get into it at a later day. Truth is, I'm kinda out of time for today on this project [00:53] peace out man [00:53] cool same [00:54] papule, just ask, i see SF is still down http://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardian/wiki/pgl-Install-DebianUbuntu/ [00:55] k so i am super new to linux (i just installed ubuntu on like 3 days ago) and i somehow managed to install peerguardian but when i go to update my blocklists it gives me this error: [00:55] Could not use either kdesu(do) or gksu(do) to execute the command requested. You can set the path of the one you prefer in "Options - Settings - Sudo front-end" [00:56] i have no idea what it means or what to do [00:56] it means you need gksu to run it [00:56] how do i get that [00:56] sudo apt-get install gksu [00:57] k what do i do now that i have gksu? [00:57] run it like you were [00:58] i got the error again [00:58] go to options settings > sudo front-end [00:59] k [00:59] type /usr/bin/gksu [01:00] omg thanks so much i have literally spent all day looking for a linux alternative for peerblock. [01:00] no problem [01:00] what exactly is gksu and why does peerguardian need it? [01:00] it lets you run gui apps with privileges === pat_ is now known as Guest43582 [01:02] it must need to access some net stuff and needs root i guess [01:02] what is peerguardian anyways? [01:03] its so the government or comcast or whoever can't see that i'm downloading movies illegally. [01:03] doesn't it slow down the connection? [01:04] idk. all i care is that i'm not getting emails from my isp about it. [01:05] how do i register this nick? [01:05] /nickserv register === papule is now known as tausend [01:06] papule, do it in the server window. not a channel window [01:06] got it [01:08] how do i view a channel list? i'm using xchat [01:09] tausend, top panel, server, 'list of ... ' [01:09] under server, list of channels. but this is Ubuntu support, not Xchat [01:09] xchat is no longer under development, btw, use HExchat as its clone [01:10] that's just cause xchat is perfect :P [01:10] k thanks for the advice [01:10] SMh [01:11] EriC^^: Even the strongest castle crumbles if no stone masons are there to tend the cracks. [01:11] what's the best irc program on ubuntu? i literally just picked the first one. [01:11] !best [01:12] xchat is a light weight program [01:12] there is no "best" try several [01:12] decide for yourself [01:13] nicomachus: civil engineering has advanced a lot [01:13] tausend, Xchat is Ubuntu default. HexChat is a maintained clone. some like other clients [01:13] lol [01:13] :P :D [01:13] thank u [01:14] in the big picture, we're still in the stone age of computer tech. [01:15] so you say, i remember when computers took up whole rooms [01:15] how old are you ObrienDave? [01:15] 58 [01:15] cool. [01:16] eniac?

[01:24] about 3 or 4 years ago. not very good at most linux stuff. my best subjects are serial communications and disk partitioning [01:25] i've been playing with PCs since the early 80s === garrett_ is now known as tausend_ [01:32] !best | tausend [01:39] got some big questions about ubuntu 14.04 (freshly installed on my I7 4770k (cpu-gpu)). which opencl runtime do we use with it [01:39] is it already installed by default [01:42] When I do : dpkg -l | grep linux-image- I see several kernels listed with the word "extra" in the name. What are these? [01:43] extra kernel modules === Blaster is now known as Guest28210 [01:44] Well, does the system rely on them? In other words, if I delete them, will my system still boot? I ask bc. I see two in the list with the same version number (one has "extra" in the name and the other doesn't). [01:44] does anyone know why notify-send doesn't work for Virvet (15.04)? [01:44] shine_: don't remove them [01:45] unless you send it with an urgent tag [01:45] shine_: in fact, you probably shouldn't be trying to remove system packages at all [01:46] for example, the command `notify-send -u normal "IRSSI" "This is a sample IRC notification"` displays nothing [01:46] but `notify-send -u critical "IRSSI" "This is a sample IRC notification"` sends it just fine [01:46] Ben64: Well, I have a problem. You see, I have the 14.04 efi default install (the one where boot was not made big enough by default). This prevents me from getting updates. The simplest soln, as I understand it, is to remove some old kernels - (and simple is what I need atm) [01:47] prevents me from getting updates once the space gets over-run with kernels that is [01:48] !update [01:48] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [01:48] shine_: remove old kernels yes, including old extras, don't remove current ones === dearn_ is now known as dearn [01:51] i just did a complete install of 14.04 to find out it takes 14.10 to use intel latest driver. [01:51] is this true [01:51] maybe i should just do 15.04? [01:52] if you want the newest sure [01:52] well if 14.04 can not upgrade to it [01:52] just keep in mind you'll need to upgrade every 6 months [01:52] ah crap. what to do [01:53] isnt it every 9 months now Ben64? [01:53] its close [01:53] its supported for 9 months, but you can't wait 9 months for each one [01:53] en1gma, What does the latest intel do for you? [01:53] thank yo [01:53] you [01:54] well it gives a new graphics driver so i would think that would be a good thing as thats what ive done with amd and nvidia for years now [01:55] en1gma, If you continuously follow the latest your gonna have issues. [01:55] under that auspice [01:56] oi [01:56] under these circumstance i think i have to since this opencl driver needs updated as its constantly evolving [01:57] what is different in 14.10 then 14.04 where i cant update to the newest [01:57] be sure you check 14.10's eol date [01:57] you should either stick with 14.04 or install 15.04, 14.10 is losing soon [01:58] losing support soon* [01:58] checking dates now. looks like 14.10 came out oct 23 [01:58] 14.10 is EOL this Thursday [01:59] :) [01:59] well it looks like 15.04 then [01:59] I don't understand something here. I do : dpkg -l | grep linux-image- and one of the older kernels in the list happens to be "linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic". I then do : sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic which output reads, in a nutshell, as if the kernel is deleted, then, when the grub config file is updated "linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic" get's "found"; and, in the end, I do dpkg -l | grep linux-image- [01:59] again and "dpkg -l | grep linux-image-" appears at the top of the list again. What gives! [01:59] okie brb. i think i did at least 10 installs today [01:59] shine_: pastebin it [01:59] crap. not sure what i want to do [01:59] k [01:59] checking packages [02:01] oh crap. it not a package. i think its a kernel module [02:01] maybe i can just update my kernel [02:02] 14.04 does support HWE, which enables you to get later ubuntu's kernels [02:02] en1gma, I have 4,2 running in 14.04.2 however if I have problems I'm not supported here. [02:02] O_o [02:02] Ben64: Well, now apt-get says it's not installed. However, as one can see, it is still appearing in the list using the dpkg command. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11907154/ [02:02] it looks like installer only supports 14.10 [02:03] https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-installer-linux-1.1.0 [02:03] shine_: which one are you referring to [02:03] en1gma: the intel graphics driver is built into the kernel, you shouldn't need to use that [02:04] Graphics Installer 1.1.0 for Ubuntu* 14.10, 64-bit [02:04] *-45-generic (specifically, *45.74). And, apparently I didn't form my command correctly as not everything I had intended is showing up in pastebin. I did dpkg -l | grep linux-image- && sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-3.13.0-45-generic && dpkg -l | grep linux-image- | pastebinit [02:04] en1gma, If that was a good source they would have 15.04 as well there it's been out awhile [02:05] i want to see if i can run some opencl apps [02:05] how to repair my mounting permission i just restore my backup ftom tar :( [02:05] i wonder if 15.04 is what i should be doing [02:05] boo, fstab [02:05] shine_: the rc at the beginning means it is just residual configuration left, its not installed anymore [02:06] boo, Ah, permissions, would be different, never mind. [02:06] wileee, command not found === hugegree_ is now known as hugegreenbug [02:06] boo, fstab is a config file. [02:06] and not correct [02:06] since 14.10 is going to be EOL thursday what is going to be replacing it? [02:06] is it 15.10 and 14.04.2? [02:06] Ben64: Ahh, I see it! Thx [02:06] 15.04 is already out [02:06] ohhh i'm not that geeki will u help me little :D [02:07] lemme check my iso's. maybe i have it already [02:07] there is a 3 month overlap from when the new version comes out and the old one goes EOL [02:07] !details | boo to the best you can [02:07] boo to the best you can: 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) [02:07] excepting LTS releases of course [02:08] Ben64: For future ref, what would have been the correct syntax for that command I tried to do? What I thought was gonna happen was the output from all 3 of the commands be pasted. In actuality, only the first command was pasted. [02:08] i got 15.04 not sure if i tried that one [02:09] shine_: eh that can get tricky [02:09] balmy 95.5 F here slight wind [02:09] ohh. kk. thanks man [02:10] have you encountered "failed to install bootloader" when making an installer for Ubuntu 64 Bit in the Startup Disk Creator? [02:10] dear wileee , i just restore my partition from my pen-drive to my original system ok, so problem now i am facing is my partition are not mounting for somehow. i wish i can do something that they would mount after every start without gksudo root [02:12] boo, Ah, sounds like fstab that is where the computer looks to mount at boot. pastebin 'gksudo gedit /etc/fstab' with your info [02:12] boo, WE can do this from a terminal on the install if you can get there or live with that command [02:12] When using prime, is it possible to see which card is being used for a particular program? [02:13] yes general, i can do it from terminal hahahhaha [02:13] !pastebinit | boo that command using this [02:13] boo that command using this: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:13] now gksudo not install :( [02:13] any alternative plz [02:14] boo, sorry not correct, hold on [02:14] 'sudo lshw -C display' = "version: 06" is that my current driver? intel 1.06? === Zachary_DuBois is now known as Tokyo === Tokyo is now known as Zachary_DuBois [02:15] https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0.6-linux [02:15] boo, Actually I'm not sure how to get that to pastebinit, I used to the gui, I think we both need help. [02:16] I'm* [02:16] hahahahahaha [02:16] en1gma, that intel ppa is know for giving issues on ubuntu. amd is not supported here [02:16] and* [02:17] dear wileee, there's a button "prt sc" use it to save image and show me plz [02:17] it is the one that comes with 14.04 so i hope its supported here [02:18] en1gma, no, it does not. you read version:06, sure it is stock intel driver [02:18] boo, show you? [02:18] en1gma, and *if your really* need an updated driver, use xorg edgers ppa. [02:19] OerHeks so is the link i provided about the 1.06 driver the same one that comes with ubuntu 14.04 but compiled in? [02:19] yup ur image with results hahhahaha general '(..)' [02:19] en1gma: the version you see there in lshw is not your driver [02:19] ahh ok [02:19] boo, There are a couple of red flags in your description that I have no clue about, lets get better help. ;) [02:19] how do i find my current driver in use [02:19] driver version i mean [02:20] modinfo i915 dont show it [02:20] lshw -c video [02:20] thats the command i used to get the version 06 you seen [02:20] ok :) [02:20] but how? [02:21] are you sure en1gma it shows a lot of info when i do that [02:21] mine does too but only one area for version [02:21] boo, Just pop a cold one post your issue as needed till you get a response. ;) [02:22] http://pastebin.com/w6HuDbTq my 'sudo lshw -c video' output [02:22] what \('0')/ :'( [02:22] plz dont joke [02:22] free volunteer help that is how it goes [02:23] en1gma: do you actually have a problem with it [02:23] i want to listen my lecture but my drive not mounting :( [02:23] im about ready to try and start to compile so opencl stuff and want to nip it in the bud [02:24] dont want to start on something that is bad. looks like there are a few versions (updates) of that intel driver that 14.04 cant do [02:24] so = some [02:25] Is cron the default package for ubuntu 14.04? [02:25] en1gma, that intel is not a hightech racemonster, so i guess you will need a better videocard for your goal [02:25] !info cron trusty | shine_ [02:25] shine_: cron (source: cron): process scheduling daemon. In component main, is important. Version 3.0pl1-124ubuntu2 (trusty), package size 79 kB, installed size 294 kB [02:26] general are you there :( [02:26] OerHeks thats what i thought. i was in windows with my 9600gt and of course the intel cpu-gpu and these are my benchmarks of an opencl test called luxmark. 1 sec and ill pastebin it [02:26] Ben64: I know what it does (generally speaking) Just not sure whether it's what 14.04 uses by default these days or not [02:26] shine_: you see where it says "is important" ? [02:27] http://pastebin.com/M5hwFMDd [02:27] if you look at the 9600gt (by itself its almost 500) now look at the rest. [02:27] Ben64: Yeah. Ok, I guess that's close enuf. thx [02:27] this is the 4th gen intel hd 4600. the new iris just came out and it destroys this. [02:28] i think opencl stuff on cpu-gpu is gonna rules [02:29] the intel 4600hd is about 5x faster then a 9600gt which actually puts it up there in a good area of gpu computing. now the iris 6200 is gonna smoke this [02:29] 9600gt is ancient and slow though [02:30] Ok, so. I would like to create a cron job or a properly placed script (whichever is better) but I don't have the skill to do it and I just can't afford the time to learn it right now. I believe this would solve the low disk space issue for everyone who did a default efi install of 14.04 (so it's not just me it would help). Is anyone willing to entertain a small project like this? [02:30] the benchmarks i took show that === ubuntu is now known as Guest76190 [02:30] the intel hd 4600 is 5x faster [02:30] so 5x ancient and slow isn't impressive [02:30] yea but i thinking about getting a 5th gen I7 with that 6200 iris [02:30] then it not slow anymore [02:30] all under a nice little h100i cooler [02:31] or, where is a better place to ask for such a thing? [02:32] you know i play BF4 in 720P with 50resolution scale and fps are above 60. thats with my current cpu-gpu. that iris 6200 is more then 2x faster [02:32] i think i could play 1080p low settings [02:32] I know what the program logic ought to be, just don't know bash scripting [02:33] shine_: a simple "sudo apt-get autoremove" will remove old kernels [02:33] ok, so Ben64 is out [02:33] shine_, normally one removes old kernels to get diskspace back [02:33] I'm looking for a way to split up a long mp3 (entire music album) into smaller tracks automatically. Is this possible? [02:33] how do i get the version of the driver i actually using for that intel i915 [02:34] OerHeks: I understand. Just that I get tired of manually running the command (and that, particular, install is an issue for a lot of people) - I think [02:35] en1gma, check synaptic for xserver-xorg-video-intel [02:35] i see 2:2.99.917-1~exp1ubuntu2.2 in Vivid [02:36] cough ubuntu tweak [02:36] If only there were a small script, that only ran when a new kernel was about to be installed, and it deleted all but the new one that get's installed and the one prior to it (leaving a grand totatl of 2 kernals at any time). It would have to run after the new kernel was completely installed though. [02:36] gezundheit wileee [02:36] ;) [02:36] OerHeks checking. 1sec [02:37] OerHeks 2.20.9 [02:37] so instead of running "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ...

[02:40] i mean if i get an opencl app will it run without installing anything or do i need to get opencl libs? [02:40] i read the amd ide will work for compiling on the intel so i think they kept it true to opencl standards [02:41] my goal believe it or not is get pyrit working on the cpu-gpu [02:41] :) [02:42] wait. i gonna install pyrit and see what happens with pyrit list_cores === simran is now known as Guest76535 === HoloIRCUser is now known as streetfi8er [02:44] hello!

[04:44] mikubuntu, ffox + flash is going the way of the dodo ... slowly. a recent patch was added to flash to fix a ffox vulnerability. problem was not seen in chrome, so chrome continues to work. [04:46] N3X15 i think you want sudo systemctl restart network.service [04:46] or start [04:46] or enable [04:46] cfhowlett: thx -- i use ff infrequently, so i guess everyone else fixed this long time ago. do we know what the future of ff flash experience is going to be? [04:47] flash is dead [04:47] mikubuntu: html5 for the future [04:47] mikubuntu, consider: system 76 has removed flash from their repos. flash is dying a slow death. look to the future: html5+ [04:47] Flash has multiple security vulns, disable it. [04:48] mikubuntu, I might add: adobe no longer supports flash on linux so ... [04:48] lotuspsychje: now that you mention it and cfhowlett i thought html5 had been working for a long time in ff? [04:48] Last I checked, there were two actively-exploited, unpatched vulns. [04:48] mikubuntu, indeed [04:49] cfhowlett: so should i be installing html5? [04:49] https://www.youtube.com/html5 [04:49] not, you have it already [04:49] mikubuntu, I don't know your use case, but if you are a DEV I'd have to suggest yes. [04:50] cfhowlett: lol. me. a dev. i've been a newbie since 7.04. [04:51] so OerHeks if i have it already, why wasn't it processing my video in ff?

[04:52] mikubuntu, does https://www.youtube.com/html5 not give you a choise ? [04:53] html5 works on youtube mostly, sites need to upgrade to give you this service [04:53] lotuspsychje: and how would I do that ? I mean I've no idea of any filehost [04:53] ravi__kumar: imgur.com tinypic.com [04:53] flash should be disabled in the latest firefox, so it should default to html5 [04:53] ravi__kumar, are you trying to share a screen capture? [04:54] ravi__kumar, in a terminal do, sudo apt-get install shutter, run shutter it's a gui you can hit window then click a window, then hit the export button and choose imgur guest and it will show you a link to the image it uploaded [04:54] OerHeks: ok, yes i 'requested' that it use html5 'when possible' but will that now carry over to chrome or you have to enable each browser i suppose [04:55] mikubuntu, indeed. [04:55] ravi__kumar, if you want to share text or something can use paste.ubuntu.com or the pastebinit program [04:55] mikubuntu, settings on youtube should carry over based on your account I believe not per browser [04:56] and by virtue of DisplayError 's comment, i should disable flash on both browsers? [04:56] * ObrienDave blinks and decides it's TV time *waves* [04:56] mikubuntu, it's probably not a bad idea if you don't need it [04:56] it should be auto disabling by default due to some serious security flaws found [04:58] know they patched it twice in a row but think the policy from FF was to just turn it off [04:58] lotuspsychje: You can grab the file from http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=08369932814560488177 [04:58] even after update to flash *.471 i have to enable flash every browser session [04:58] hi all, I have php logging php errors in a file named php.log. is there a way so it'll automatically rotate to a new daily log each day?

[05:01] OerHeks: andrewjs18: just set the error_log directive (or similar) in php.ini to the correct setting. No real need for a separate php.log usually [05:02] wafflej0ck: oh so i can expect to get stuck on some lesser served sites i guess you're saying [05:03] mikubuntu, well think places like hulu and a few other streaming services still rely on Flash, Netflix used to be silverlight though and now that can work in chrome without any extras so hopefully in the relatively near future it won't be a problem [05:03] lotuspsychje: tried it out it is ok. Will you please consider it one more time . [05:04] mikubuntu, from what I hear FF is rallying a bit to have Adobe call it over but there's a lot of Flash advertising in Google stuff etc. and like I said I hear WebM is a bit heavier to encode/deliver so there's more cost as it stands today [05:06] ravi__kumar: file is unvalid try imgur.com [05:06] wafflej0ck: so maybe they can get their '$#^%' together for humanity's sake :P [05:07] mikubuntu, yeah we should call the topic quits since we're getting way off-topic here but agree it's a shame [05:07] the free market is not concerned with humanities sake unless it's their loss [05:09] ok thx guys, gnna shut this ff down and open my chrome up [05:18] I have a system running trusty.

[05:28] so why isnt I mean [05:28] hi [05:28] shaleh, yeah not sure apt-cache show on vagrant has version 1.4.3-1 [05:29] can't mount windows partition [05:29] shaleh, and my vagrant --version has the same 1.4.3 so I don't think I compiled or anything [05:29] yeah, same here. [05:29] I'm writing /dev/sda1 /mnt/Win_part ntfs-3g gid=users 0 0 in fstab [05:29] wafflej0ck, from that info the bot posted, apt-get update/upgrade should indicate a problem for you [05:29] shaleh, safe to guess you already tried sudo apt-get update, just to be sure package lists are updated? [05:30] wafflej0ck, I fried all of /var/apt/lists/* and run it again to be double double sure [05:30] I also removed all non-ubuntu sources from my list to ensure I was not getting an update from the outside [05:31] what the hell. I just paid more attention. bsdtar and libarchive13 are built from the same source [05:32] shaleh, yeah makes sense with the same version num and all [05:32] still not sure why you think it should be a problem here too though? [05:32] but look at the bot output. It does _NOT_ have the same version [05:35] shaleh, actually it shows both [05:35] wafflej0ck, weird right? [05:35] 3.1.2-7ubuntu2.1 [05:35] wafflej0ck, I just dpkg --purge --force-depends libarchive13 and re-installed it [05:35] I got the older version [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11907645/ [05:35] now all is well [05:36] ah k cool [05:36] I can't mount my windows partition. I'm writing /dev/sda1 /mnt/Win_part ntfs-3g gid=users 0 0 in fstab and it doesn't work. [05:36] shaleh, happy vagranting it is great once it's all working [05:36] wafflej0ck, I am confused how this happened though [05:36] wafflej0ck, yeah, I am using it at work. I wanted to dig deeper on my own time. [05:37] shaleh, yeah i plan to make a youtube vid to go over some vagrant basics one of these days it just hasn't happened yet, there are some decent ones out there though and some good scripts to get going on github [05:38] wafflej0ck, /me is too old for youtube vids. Plus they are hard to watch at work, on trains, etc. [05:38] doing it all from scratch is tedious with the whole provision check destroy process [05:38] give me good tutorial docs any day [05:39] Hi there [05:39] Dinis: would this help? perhaps exclude the users bit https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G#Configuring [05:40] shaleh, yeah can tune this search for what you actually want but typically can find a Vagrantfile and provisioning scripts to get you 90% of the way there https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=github%20vagrant%20lamp [05:40] Hello! Can someone help me out how to get opensource driver to work (ati radeon card) [05:40] wafflej0ck, thanks for the help tonight. Having a sounding board was useful. [05:40] shaleh, np glad you got it sorted [05:41] OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. [05:41] OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.6, 128 bits) [05:41] thats my problem atm === IdleOne is now known as Guest61521 [05:41] I've got a ubuntu box which isn't letting me log in via SSH [05:41] This is what happens http://paste.ubuntu.com/11907660/ [05:42] DisplayError, I've already tried that. [05:44] gnomethrower, that looks successful [05:44] gnomethrower, or do you not get a shell? [05:45] shaleh: no shell, it dies on login [05:45] gnomethrower, it looks like the shell is dying or exiting for some reason [05:46] shaleh: right [05:46] shaleh: question is how do I diagnose what's going wrrong [05:46] gnomethrower, one sec, checking [05:47] dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon' [05:47] ,[ 5.843306] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [05:47] [ 5.988782] [drm] VGACON disable radeon kernel modesetting. [05:47] [ 5.988799] [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* No UMS support in radeon module! [05:47] what does that mean? [05:48] gnomethrower, what happens if you do something innocuous like 'ssh user@host ps' [05:49] shaleh: it gives the output of ps. [05:49] gnomethrower, likely a problem in your login rc file then [05:49] gnomethrower, you need some other way to access the box [05:49] shaleh: it's worth mentioning I was able to get a root bash shell by running ssh -t me@box.com "sudo bash" [05:50] I'm just not sure how to debug from that point on [05:50] gnomethrower, log in as root using above method. Remove all of the user's rc files and try to ssh in again [05:50] also, we're having the same issue with two other completely different users (LDAP) [05:51] gnomethrower, if there are quotas is might be a quota issue [05:51] shaleh: stupid question... how do I check if there are quotas? [05:51] as root, quota command [05:52] quota -u should help [05:52] shaleh: negative on the rc files... I just moved my home directory out of the way completely and let it get recreated on login [05:52] gnomethrower, try moving their .bashrc and .bash_profile away first. [05:52] showing same shell-exit issue as before [05:52] hey I'm trying to boot a live cd it says it needs PAE in order to boot. where is the ubuntu version that supports CPUs wihout PAE ? [05:52] shaleh: I moved ~ to a different dir. [05:53] so it was a fresh env on login [05:53] same issue [05:53] gnomethrower, nuts [05:53] gnomethrower, quotas? [05:53] root@dev-web2:~# quota [05:53] The program 'quota' is currently not installed. [05:53] gnomethrower, quotacheck /mountpoint < if quotas are going, you'll get a response. [05:54] if you get program not installed, there definitely aren't any [05:54] but you could try df /mnt to make sure you have free space [05:54] mladoux, shaleh: no quotas. [05:54] gnomethrower, just rm the dot files but do not move the directory [05:54] gnomethrower, there may be a bug in the supplied files [05:54] df -H /home will tell you how much free space are on the home mount point, for example [05:55] gnomethrower, also, mladoux has a good point on disk space checking [05:55] you might just need to clear up some space [05:56] mladoux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11907697/ [05:56] shaleh: alright, removed all the dotfiles from that homedir and logged in.. same issue [05:57] gnomethrower, check /etc/security/limits.conf. Any limit on number of logins or the like? === anthony is now known as Guest58003 [05:57] hmm, thinking thinking [05:57] shaleh: absolutely no limits [05:58] at least no ones that are uncommented [05:58] gnomethrower, how does the ssh host do authentication? [05:58] is it pam -> ldap? [05:59] shaleh: I believe so [05:59] gnomethrower, did you move your home directory? and if so, did you update /etc/passwd to reflect that? [05:59] mladoux: No, I didn't move it prior to this issue. === Bray9082_ is now known as Bray90820 [05:59] I moved it out of the way as a debugging step [06:00] gnomethrower, are there other shells installed on the machine? [06:00] moving it back doesn't make a difference [06:00] shaleh: maybe, how would I check that? [06:00] gnomethrower, if so, try making a different shell that user's shell [06:00] well, it needs to be at the location listed in your /etc/passwd file for ssh, so put it back. Secondly, check the group/owner on the directory, make sure your user owns it and the permissions are 700 or higher. [06:00] /bin/sh and /bin/bash that I know of [06:00] gnomethrower, is there /bin/zsh or /bin/tcsh [06:01] shaleh: nope [06:01] mladoux, he said that the login system recreated it. [06:01] i recommend that it's set to your user and your group, and permission of the directory at 700 as that's the safest setting. [06:01] mladoux, sounds like auto setup via LDAP pam [06:01] shaleh, the ssh login system won't usually. [06:02] the key here is a login shell fails but a simple shell execute succeeds [06:02] check your sshd settings as well. is it limited to a specific group, and if so, is your user in that group? [06:02] don't for get to check your login definitions. [06:03] an any user specific startup scripts. [06:04] gnomethrower, can you pastebin the output of ssh -vvvv please [06:05] hey, how do i install debian bootstrap in ubuntu [06:05] gnomethrower, ssh user@host bash -x [06:05] gnomethrower, ssh user@host bash -ix [06:06] shaleh: one sec [06:06] sorry, just the -ix [06:07] so whats the problem gnomethrower [06:07] darth: I can't login via ssh. [06:07] the minute I do it exits. [06:07] so you cant login [06:07] gnomethrower, the bash -ix should show you the cause if it is in bash [06:08] darth: no.. [06:08] darth: he gets the motd then punted [06:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11907660/ [06:08] shaleh: alright i'll go run that one sec [06:08] oh ok [06:08] is it dpkg -ix debbootstrap - | bash <(wget htp:/debian.org/dpkg/debootstrap) ? [06:09] latemus: that command is wrong, whatever you are trying. It gives bash two different stdin [06:09] shaleh: what's a good way to capture the output of that command? it's absolutely huge output [06:09] shaleh: oh, thanks. haw many do i need? three? [06:10] gnomethrower: script. At the prompt type 'script' then run the ssh, then 'exit' [06:10] gnomethrower, it will store everything in a script file in the dir where you ran it [06:10] gnomethrower, purge any passwords it kept (it shouldnt but check) [06:10] bash << latemus: why are you trying to perform magic? [06:11] shaleh: thanks, give me a few minutes [06:11] shaleh: lol [06:11] gnomethrower, if you are lucky you will look at the output and immediately see the cause [06:12] latemus: what is your goal? === ubik is now known as Guest78287 [06:13] find / -type f -mode 777 | grep debootstrap.exe | xargs -I% dpkg -xivv % 2> /dev/mouse [06:14] shaleh: to debian bp ubootnstrap [06:14] uboontstrap [06:14] are you trolling? Because no one in their sane mind thinks piping error to /dev/mouse is a good idea [06:15] I'm trying to boot a live cd it says it needs PAE in order to boot. where is the ubuntu version that supports CPUs wihout PAE ? [06:15] Jan\, you want the i386 not the x86_64 I think [06:15] shaleh: yeh. [06:15] shaleh: good talks. thatks for talking [06:16] * shaleh has a Scooby Doo moment as he pulls off the mask [06:16] lmao [06:17] Hey there ! how do I grep only the user created profiles among all users in linux ?

[06:18] is there 70GB of data i need to download if i want to do a kernel patch? [06:19] en1gma: just git checkout the diff you need [06:19] im following a guide on a patch (i might (need)) to do but cant believe i would need 70GB to do it [06:19] latemus: look here http://pastebin.com/Z9Y1tZ8L [06:19] latemus: out of that , i just need celestial and neetish users [06:19] latemus could you look at this " http://arrayfire.com/opencl-on-intel-hd-iris-graphics-on-linux/ " and look at the part where it says 70 GB [06:20] bye guys i am installing windows 8.1 [06:20] "70 GB of hard disk space and perhaps an hour of compilation time if the build is executed in parallel." [06:20] already git it [06:20] got* [06:20] you have the patched kernel? [06:22] windows is like an antique car just take it once in a while [06:22] shaleh: ty for that link [06:22] Jan\, no worries [06:22] what if your main car is antique?

'apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`' [06:26] i think that guy put GB when it should be MB? [06:26] en1gma: apt-get has a dry-run swith i think.. add it it to that command [06:26] akash: last i checked the kernel source was ~70MB [06:26] no way in hades is it 70GB bro [06:26] latemus: what ? I don't get this [06:26] akash [06:27] akash: sorry man, i meant to adress en1gma there [06:27] ok will check that dryrun option. never used it before so gonna look at it now [06:27] latemus: okay :P , hey do you have an idea to solve my problem ? [06:28] akash: do you want help using the grep command? or is it that you need to programmatically devine which users are not part of a vanilla ubuntu install? splain [06:29] en1gma: its -s for apt-get it looks like, yeh? simulate [06:29] gnomethrower, I have to check out. Good luck. [06:29] i didnt find dry-run option but went ahead and did full command and it looks like its 130MB just like it always has been for kernel source. well close to that for a long time anyhow [06:29] thanks latemus. just did a quick scan for dry-run and didnt see it. glad to know about the -s option though. [06:30] latemus: I don't think it's anything to do with grep , I'm just thining if there's a linux command over there ( repquota ) or any other to list only manually created users ( I looked for man page in reqpquota) , couldn't find any [06:30] looks like --dry-ren does the trick too [06:30] *run [06:30] shaleh: thanks for the help [06:31] akash: there isnt, sorry buddy. the only thing i can mention is that perhaps auditd might track that kinda shih, lets check if ubuntu has auditd by dufault [06:32] latemus: thanks [06:34] http://pastebin.com/5xNu5B7i <<<< this is when i checked with git stat and git apply check [06:34] does that mean the patch is already in there or that i just cant patch because i have something messed up === Blaster is now known as Guest96211 [06:35] do i need to be sudo / root to apply patch?

[06:40] latemus: yes that's the problem :/ [06:41] latemus i not building or making yet. was just trying to apply the patch and it gave me that error when i did a "check" [06:41] i about ready to run a diff on it like you said earlier [06:44] How come 14.04.1 LTS has much longer support than 14.04.2 LTS? I thought all LTS have 5 years now? [06:44] it's th e same reread [06:45] all the support for 14.04 ends at the same time, the additional number .1 .2.3 etc are release dates within. [06:47] Why does https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases say EOL HWE 2016? [06:49] barq, Try clicking that. [06:50] this EOL HWE 2016 [06:50] the OS is not eol [06:50] what is the difference? [06:50] barq, Do the research bro. ;) [06:51] then it's really not that complicated, look at it this way --> http://pastebin.com/kJsJ8FHA [06:52] So only HWE will be EOL [06:52] Otherwise not [06:52] click on it [06:52] akash: ^ [06:53] I tired the mini netinstall non-PAW version and it's stuck on a pruple screen ?

[06:58] akash: do you use some type of configuration mgmnt like chef or ansible? [06:58] latemus: no :/ [06:59] akash: there is no standard for the users in /etc/passwd outside of root being uid 0 and bin being uid 2 iirc [06:59] latemus: moreover i can't afford to use all those things , im integrting this in a emmbedded device , it needs to be light [07:00] but you could... _look_ at the passwd files for those distributions and compare thum. i meaon [07:00] oh its embedded? [07:00] maybe you should radiation harden things too [07:00] :) [07:01] you could write a utility in arm5v assembly that prays to god to derive which users have been added by.. users [07:02] .. just write a posix shell script that does it and backup a fresh passwd.orig for each distro [07:03] latemus: thanks man :D I'll look around [07:04] stare them on a local ftp server or some shit and wget them? echo "GET /$DISTRO"/passwd.orig | nc server.lan > /root/passwd.orig [07:04] akash: good luck bro [07:07] how do i install debootstap in ubuntu 6.10 [07:09] latemus, way beyond any support here, just a heads up is all. === muresana is now known as adrianux [07:11] latemus: what do you do bro ?

[07:56] Yea I can do that,but since someone in this room has already mentioned it I figured I'd ask them while they were on the subject. [07:57] fair enough, some will take the time. ; ) [07:58] i asked but i dont know why its not secure so am going to read this - http://www.zdnet.com/article/how-secure-is-flash-heres-what-adobe-wont-tell-you/ [07:59] DroWn: beleive the risk is remote arbitrary command execution on the client running vulnerable flash versions [07:59] Mason64, from May 14, 2010 is all 5 years ago. [07:59] DroWn: and there is an unending stream of new vulnerabilities in flash, all the time [07:59] lol i didnt read the date:) thanks wileee [08:00] easy to miss [08:01] Hi, sudo -l says I can run (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service but when trying sudo /usr/sbin/service I’m being asked the password… what am I doing wrong? [08:01] Mason64, DroWn this is part, http://www.syracuse.com/us-news/index.ssf/2015/07/google_mozilla_adobe_flash_block_security_flaw.html [08:01] thank yo [08:02] An Italian hacking group called Hacking Team lol [08:02] np [08:02] how original [08:03] But as far as I know [08:03] Adobe has ceased flash support in Linux right? [08:04] noting but a occasional security update [08:04] Ah [08:04] nothing* [08:04] so we could still get this update [08:04] Is there a candidate to replace flash [08:04] like maybe. HTML5? [08:04] video [08:05] it said they should replace it with html5 or sliverlight, will sliverlight run on linux? [08:05] or should the question be does it. [08:06] I thought Silverlight was developed by Microsoft [08:06] silverlight is going eol [08:06] ah [08:06] html5 sort of replaces flash but only does a fraction of what flash can [08:06] yeah not interactive content [08:06] eol? [08:07] enf of life [08:07] end of life [08:07] ahh ok [08:07] Does HTML5 just natively have video coding? [08:07] Like do you need any clientside or serverside application to use it in a site? [08:08] * zaggynl points to duckduckgo.com [08:08] flash vuln from may https://packetstormsecurity.com/files/131891/RHSA-2015-1005-01.txt [08:10] DroWn, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats <-- HTML5 video support will depend on what codecs your browser supports. webm seems to be the most compatible cross-browser, but mp4 also has good support. [08:11] thanks sorry I know I should look it up myself,but I enjoy tlaking to humans [08:11] Hey guys i just got unbuntu and am really enjoying it so far but how do i install .run files? [08:12] whether or not you'll need additional codecs installed will depend entirely on which browser you are using. [08:12] well [08:12] and whether or not it has built in coders or if it pulls from the OS [08:12] Linux you can get much software by using sudo apt-get [08:12] or rather sudo apt-get install [08:13] DroWn, that's only debian based distro's such as Ubuntu, which this channel is for. [08:13] what would i type after that to say get teamspeak and my video driver because i downloaded them of the offical websites as .runs? [08:13] other distros use other tools [08:13] he said Ubvuntu [08:13] Ubuntu [08:13] I know what he said, you said Linux [08:13] that's his name [08:13] LOL [08:13] I just don't want to confuse anyone. [08:13] his username is Linux [08:13] oh, okay DroWn I missed that [08:14] DroWn, but, you have to admit, it was confusing. [08:14] lol I can see [08:15] whats the best software to run a virtual pc? [08:15] I use Virtual Box [08:15] on Linux [08:15] hello all [08:15] but I use VMWare Workstation with Windows [08:15] I believe you can use both on Linux [08:15] DroWn, yeah on linux. i will download virtual box now [08:16] Be sure to Install Guest Additions [08:16] After you set up the Virtual Machine [08:16] ok will do, [08:16] https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp90764336 [08:17] Oracle has decent documentation [08:17] is there any special packs i need to install so i can compile a Makefile ? i always get the no target error [08:17] any help greatly appreciated. thank you [08:17] Mercurial [08:17] Mason64, depends entirely on what your using it for, if you're just wanting something quick and easy, Virtualbox is really nice, if you need something low resource to do some serious virtualization, I would personally recommend qemu with KVM [08:17] Can help with that. [08:17] making I mean [08:20] anyone need help? [08:20] morning all [08:20] frank [08:20] morning! [08:20] i have stumbled upon a makefile and .c file on github, i downloaded the master.zip into my usr desktop directory and make seems to give me the error, so if there were packs i needed to get i could try them.. not looking for someone to drop everything to help me wityh something as basic as this, it's been to long since i've tried this kind of thing [08:20] which version of QT will ubuntu 15.10 ship with? is it 5.5 or will that come later? [08:21] How do i install a .run everytime it just opens in gedit? [08:21] get Mercurial [08:21] mitch [08:21] mitchYr: you should ask the github repo owner for help. That's outside the scope of this channel [08:21] Linux: open a terminal and run ./run [08:21] yeap [08:21] ./ is how you run from terminal [08:22] ok. sorry, i thought you were still responding to someone else DroWn, Thank's mate i'll give it a shot, and Cheers Somsip, i have done that, i just thought i would try it. learning as I go. :) [08:22] does anyone have any comprehensive learning guides for Terminals? [08:22] kiranos: questions about 15.10 need to be asked in #ubuntu+1 [08:22] ah ok thanks [08:22] best way to learn bro [08:22] !bash | DroWn [08:22] DroWn: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

If you do want to chat, please use #ubuntu-offtopic [08:23] I know the terminal basics,I was hoping for something giving guides on more detailed uses [08:24] DroWn: join #bash for specific help [08:24] no worries somsip [08:24] http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html [08:24] thanks mladoux [08:24] just about to exit was curious to the answer to mitch question [08:24] http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html <-- for more advanced stuff [08:24] it's a bit outdated, but it should still be mostly relevent [08:25] does ubuntu come with a builtin ftp? [08:25] no. [08:25] You could use Samba though. [08:25] whats samba? [08:25] its a file sharing service [08:25] for home networks [08:26] it provides interconnectivity for WIndows [08:26] samba emulates windows share [08:26] moses, apt-get isntall filezilla if you want a gui, apt-get install ncftp for a good cli client [08:26] which can be useful [08:26] filezilla [08:26] is a good real FTP [08:26] moses: what do you need ftp for. If we know your use case, we can give directed advice [08:26] upload pdf/html to a server [08:26] i am sshed onto the server now [08:26] running irssi here [08:26] you need ncftp] [08:27] moses: an ftp client then? Use the command line, or Filezilla as recommended [08:27] moses: scp even better then if you have ssh access [08:27] moses you can also use scp, ftp is kind of insecure. [08:27] and by kind of, i mean completely [08:27] what is scp? [08:27] moses: WHS ^^^ [08:27] filezilla support scp [08:27] moses: secure copy. [08:28] it's a method to transfer files over ssh [08:28] so just choose that instead of ftp in the dropdown menu [08:28] scp uses the ssh protocoll [08:28] and port 22 [08:28] just as regular ssh [08:28] just log in with filezilla using your ssh port and your server username and password, and you can transfer files that way. [08:29] my servers don't even have ftp installed anymore. [08:30] hi [08:30] I lost my soud [08:30] sound [08:30] that is a good question actually, what is a good way to transfer files between linux pcs? something that's easy to use, fast and secure? [08:30] yeah [08:31] this server only allows scp [08:31] ssh is slow, sshfs doesn't cope well with connection hitches [08:31] ftp is plaintext and old [08:31] samba works for linux computers [08:31] is this over a LAN, or over the internet? [08:31] both [08:32] well, that puts samba out [08:32] I haven't looked into nfs myself yet, maybe I should [08:32] lol yea [08:32] zaggynl, sorry, I don't really have a good answer for you, scp is enough for me, but then I have very very fast internet. [08:33] I have fast internet too, I don't think I can reach max speed even with scp [08:33] lemme test [08:33] zaggynl: what use case? One off files, or lots of folders? [08:33] I know I can't reach max speed with scp, but then, you'd be hard pressed to up 1 gbps over scp, lol [08:33] worst case scenario, lots of small/big files [08:34] zaggynl: rsync over ssh, scp recursive [08:34] zaggynl, all the time, or only once in a while? filezilla is good at managing issues with ssh connections not playing nice. [08:35] rsync over ssh, hmm [08:35] hi i installed lubuntu and i have no sound [08:35] zaggynl: if you're int he habit of mirroring folders, I do find btsync useful, though not ideal [08:36] Hi there, anyone who can help me with a resolution thing? [08:36] zaggynl: git-annex [08:36] mas886: just ask your question and someone will answer if they can [08:37] Okay [08:38] hi i installed lubuntu and i have no sound [08:38] So I just installed kubuntu 15.04 64 bits on my AMD CPU and GPU computer, and with the default drivers it was detecting a 1025x768 screen resolution [08:38] zaggynl: https://git-annex.branchable.com/ [08:38] thanks [08:38] Ellon, did you check the sound properties to see if it recognizes your device, it might just be muted. [08:38] I installed the catalyst control center and now it detects a 1600x1200 resolution, but my screen is 1080 [08:38] And can't get higher [08:38] hrm, cli, lets say I'm horribly lazy and hate typing [08:39] mladoux it seems i dont have any sound\ [08:39] i dont have sound icon [08:39] mladoux how to check it [08:39] open up a cli, type lspci to see if your soundcard is listed first === james is now known as Guest11748 [08:40] So can anyone help me to use a 1080 resolution on my computer? [08:40] Ive made some changes to a .conf file in /etc/security/limits.d/ but even after reboot, there is no change. I can't run ulimit as the other user, as I don't know that user's password. [08:40] you can run aslamixer in the cli as well to try and adjust your volume there, but if you have no sound icon, you're likely not even recognizing the card, I would google your card model because, even though it is pretty rare to have to do it anymore, fixing a sound card that isn't working out of the box is pretty painful. [08:41] mas886: 00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) [08:41] What you mean Ellon? === michael__ is now known as Belenos [08:41] mas886, sound card seems listed [08:42] Ellon: talk to mladoux as he asked you the question... [08:42] yeah, the system can see the hardware, alsamixer will tell you if it's functioning. [08:42] Ellon: I have no problem with audio, my problem is with screen resolution [08:42] if alsamixer doesn't see it, you may be missing firmware. [08:43] seems alsamixer isnt installed [08:43] Ellon, sudo apt-get install alsamixer [08:43] E: Unable to locate package alsamixer [08:44] Ellon, what release is this? [08:44] Lubuntu 14.10 [08:44] Just installed [08:44] Ellon, Will be eol on thursday. [08:44] ah, they changed the package name, do alsamixergui [08:45] I'm not sure if alsamixer is part of alsa-tools or alsa-utils, it sounds like you might not have a sound system installed. [08:45] hmm [08:45] so i installed alsamixergui [08:46] now you should have a mixer. [08:46] hmm i don't have it [08:46] you'll find it in your menu somewhere. [08:46] nop i dont see it [08:46] try ls /usr/bin/alsam* [08:46] gatis@notebook:~$ ls /usr/bin/alsam* /usr/bin/alsamixer /usr/bin/alsamixergui [08:47] okay, type alsamixer [08:47] in the cli [08:47] cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [08:47] yeah, sounds like you're either missing a sound system, or your missing some firmware. [08:48] when you installed lubuntu, what method did you use? [08:48] mladoux what method [08:48] ? [08:48] full install [08:48] did you use the livecd, or did you use a minimal cd? [08:48] livecd [08:48] okay [08:48] one moment. [08:49] 14.10, right? [08:49] ye [08:50] okay, try installing pulseaudio and pavucontrol, then reboot your computer [08:50] Ellon, apparently you're not the first person with this issue on that particular release. [08:51] Ellon, so your up with having to upgrade by thursday? [08:51] yes [08:51] cool, ;) [08:51] if you wanted to not run the latest version Ellon, I would have run the LTS, but I would recommend since it's a fresh install, just downloading the 15.04 lubuntu iso and installing. [08:52] i can upgrade [08:53] yes, but there's a complete sysinit change between 15.04 and 14.10, so a fresh install would probably be cleaner and less fraught with issue. if you had been using your system for a while already and it wasn't a fresh install, then I'd recommend an upgrade. [08:53] ok [08:53] 15.04 or 15.10? [08:54] it will probably be fine to upgrade, but a fresh install would be less likely to have issue. 15.04, 15.10 isn't even out yet except for testing [08:55] ah ok [08:55] no worries. if you want to stay with upstart for a while longer, install 14.04 LTS instead, that way you'll still be supported for while [08:56] I don't remember how long the LTS support cycle is, but I know it has at least another 2 years on it. [08:56] meh [08:56] he closed the window. [08:56] LTS are now supported for 5 years, so 14.04 is good until 2019 [08:56] Ben64, thanks, I always upgrade my servers with the next LTS server release. [08:57] so I never paid attention to it's exact support cylce. [08:57] though I will wait before upgrading to the 16.04 release just to see what happens when other people do it. [08:57] normally people wait for the .1 release to upgrade [08:58] Ben64, I'm a risk taker, what can I say === Guest11748 is now known as usrvimbin [08:59] besides, my stuff isn't mission critical, and I have dejadup backups rsynced to an offsite backup. [08:59] Fellows, could somebody tell me please how to copy files from remote host like this command `scp username@hostname:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/local/file` [08:59] Mega: just like that [08:59] But instead `username@hostname` use settings from ssh config? [09:00] Mega: use your user name on the remote server and the remote host name %-/ [09:01] hi there. I'm wondering if anyone else is running into problems with intel_pstate? Basically since it was introduced 1) my laptop overheats and shuts down regularly and 2) has really bad performance (i.e. CPU is getting clamped for heat regulation instead of fans spinning faster) [09:01] Wow, @somsip, thank you! My fault was I misspeled my servername twice xD [09:01] Installing pulseaudio fixed my sound issue [09:02] Mega: http://nerderati.com/2011/03/17/simplify-your-life-with-an-ssh-config-file/ [09:02] mladoux: hi [09:02] so, I've switched back to acpi, with intel_pstate=disabled in grub. but since vivid this also regularly overheats and therefore shuts down the laptop. it seems that fans step down once over 80°-something C. I.e. they are at the top speed *below* the high temperatures and then get slower again [09:02] Hey guys, I hope this is the correct channel to ask questions about Ubuntu... I have the following problem: when I start up my vserver, startup stops at "* Starting configure network device [OK]" and I do not know how to get more information on what the problem might be... is there a way to get a more verbose output? [09:03] Ellon, hi [09:03] (this is a dell xps 13 dev edition) [09:03] Ellon, sorry, I was a bit distracted, watching a movie. [09:04] glad to hear I was right about it being a missing sound system. enjoy your lubuntu === jhenke_ is now known as jhenke [09:05] anybody here who can help me with this bootup problem? [09:05] mladoux: installing pulseaudio worked [09:06] re [09:06] mladoux: thank [09:07] otherwise, I've looked around how I can regulate the fans manually, i.e. spin them up to full speed. But, everything I found seems broken. === michael__ is now known as Guest60632 === Belenos_ is now known as Belenos [09:11] mladoux: hey i have new problem, sound icon has appeared but i dont hear sound [09:11] flashingpumpkin, Did a previews release work fine? [09:11] previous* [09:11] Ellon, it's probably just muted by default, open up your sound mixer and check it. [09:12] how to open it? [09:12] wileee, no it didn't really. but it was manageable. it's gotten worse :S [09:12] @nopf Thanks man! Pretty useful [09:12] intel_pstate never did really. especially coupled with thermald it would grind the CPU regularly to a halt when compiling things, i.e. clamp it to 700mhz [09:12] Ellon, not sure, try doubleclicking the sound icon [09:12] yeah i opened it [09:12] or right click it and see if there's a menu [09:12] flashingpumpkin, Bummer, sounds like you know of the lm-sensors. [09:13] wileee, yeah [09:13] cool, does it show volume controls, or is it still saying mixer not found? [09:13] mladoux: but it's not muted [09:13] yeah it showing [09:13] ALSA plug-in [09:13] i see sound bar moving [09:13] But i dont hear any sound [09:13] Maybe it's too many questions from me today but.. somebody knows how to __copy full file path to a file in current directory to clipboard__? [09:13] open up a cli and run alsamixer, check there, some older versions of pavucontrol will lie about your mute status. [09:14] also, make sure it's got the right output selected. [09:14] mladoux: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory [09:14] oi, there's your problem. it's just hooking into alsa, but alsa has no devices [09:15] Sorry, Ellon, i'm at a loss. I'd try 15.04 and see if it's fixed there. [09:15] ok [09:15] thanks [09:15] yeah, sorry I couldn't be more help [09:15] sound can be a real pain when it doesn't work right.

[11:47] hi guys - I have a headphone with integrated mic - how can i get both the headphone and mic to work from just a headphone port? [11:47] just using headphone jack* [11:47] Hey, guys! I know it's a noob question, but how can I recompile ffmpeg on Ubuntu with OpenSSL? :) [11:48] checkmaster: you likely can't. Such jacks that accept the integrated mic usually have a third contact [11:48] checkmaster: when you look at the 3.5mm plug on the end of the headphones with integrated mic, does it have three strips on it [11:49] kvitozev: download the ffmpeg source code, follow its instructions for compiling, and during the `./configure` step add `--with-openssl` perhaps? Make sure you've installed the `build-essential` package, and `libssl-dev` packages [11:49] yes it has 3 stripes [11:50] im using bose quietcomfort 20 [11:50] checkmaster: and your computer has a single headphones port, not a combined port? [11:50] thanks for assisting teward [11:50] it has 2 ports, a green one for audio and a pink one for mic [11:51] checkmaster: it's almost 100% likely that the audio port only accepts two of those three bands - i.e. L&R sound [11:51] you're probably right...it's an old cheap computer [11:51] checkmaster: the third band is the one for the mic. You see the same problem with Apple earbuds which have the in-line mic. It's designed for use in jacks that support both audio out AND audio in, such as phones and tablets. [11:52] checkmaster: then i'm almost 100% certain that's the case - given that AFAIK for the most part phones and tablets support the in-line functionality rather than 'computers' in general (that may be different with the modern computer, but don't quote me on it) [11:52] s/modern computer/most modern computers/ [11:54] @teward, thanks! :) [11:54] that sucks :/ [11:55] so now it looks like i have to buy some kind of adaptor to make it work?
